12
00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:52,479
Speaker 1: she has her own theme song. That's nice. Mark. I

Speaker 1: you want to yes? An impression of the Mark. But

15
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:03,000
Speaker 1: I don't know that was a human trying to express

16
00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:07,120
Speaker 1: happiness for another person. I was. I am happy, unhappy

17
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:09,839
Speaker 1: that I'm here. I'm always excited when you're here because

18
00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:12,840
Speaker 1: I think it adds a levity to the to the room, UM,

19
00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:16,320
Speaker 1: a different layer of analysis and fun. That's great. You

Speaker 1: keep going if you want, Yeah, that's good. How are

21
00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:25,600
Speaker 1: you my favorite? Get that on the record. Uh, coming

22
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:28,240
Speaker 1: up on today's show, there are four weeks remaining in

23
00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:31,560
Speaker 1: the regular season, so this is a good time to

24
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:36,400
Speaker 1: take a step back and you know who is the

25
00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:40,000
Speaker 1: most at stake in our league over the final four

26
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:41,960
Speaker 1: weeks of the regular season. Is this A Is the

27
00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:45,960
Speaker 1: segment mark clear to you before we begin? Yes, I

28
00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:49,280
Speaker 1: believe it is. UM. On Mondays, we're all very busy.

29
00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:52,520
Speaker 1: I typically don't text my tech check my text messages

30
00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:55,960
Speaker 1: as much as as I should, and I was scrolling

31
00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:59,160
Speaker 1: through attempting to find out what, yeah, what the segment

32
00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:01,200
Speaker 1: was actually about. So I did have a question or

33
00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:04,280
Speaker 1: two for you, because I think I think this applies

34
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:06,520
Speaker 1: to calling to you like to go in if you're

35
00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:08,440
Speaker 1: going to prepare for something. You know, it's crazy to

36
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:11,440
Speaker 1: want to prepare for shure. Everyone just let's just play

37
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:14,079
Speaker 1: at all time and just like roll spaghetti around like

38
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:18,080
Speaker 1: but like still classic guy doesn't really no food throwing

39
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:21,600
Speaker 1: food into the conversation and so but no, I feel

40
00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:25,840
Speaker 1: I feel UM somewhat crystal clear on what it's about. Excellent,

41
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:28,840
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a good COMBA. It is only four

42
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:31,320
Speaker 1: weeks in the regular season. That's that's good. That's good.

43
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:34,320
Speaker 1: It's a lot of spaghetti to roll rolling all over

44
00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:38,560
Speaker 1: all over the place. Um, what else do we have today?

45
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:41,960
Speaker 1: We have a Thursday and I preview huge, huge game,

46
00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:45,440
Speaker 1: uh for two teams, the San Francisco forty Niners and

47
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:48,359
Speaker 1: the Seattle Seahawks NFC West on the line, I believe

48
00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:51,440
Speaker 1: it's a hat and T shirt game, as Kirk Cousin was,

49
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:54,440
Speaker 1: and yet it could be a tie at the top

50
00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:57,600
Speaker 1: of the division. Mark if your take last week was

51
00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:01,720
Speaker 1: spot on that Kirk Cousins doomed the Vikings the moment

52
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:06,840
Speaker 1: he said the game at Ford Fields at ever allow

53
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:10,480
Speaker 1: that to get out in publicly saying, well, I think

54
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:13,560
Speaker 1: for Kirk ITTs, he is just so excited about the

55
00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:16,440
Speaker 1: hatton T shirt. But he's like, it's like a birthday

56
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:19,440
Speaker 1: party and he's ten years old and it's a birthday

57
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:21,160
Speaker 1: parties when he's a kid. So this is he's got

58
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:23,360
Speaker 1: a bit of a Michael Scott as a child thing

59
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:25,679
Speaker 1: going on and now this is his opportunity. So I

60
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:27,680
Speaker 1: feel like he had friends when he was a child.

61
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:31,760
Speaker 1: He's so he well, I don't know, I don't know

62
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:35,720
Speaker 1: anything about Kirk. I was not I was actually a pretty.

63
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:38,080
Speaker 1: I was kind of a sweet, more quiet child. You

64
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:40,280
Speaker 1: might be surprised by that, you were a middle child.

65
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:45,400
Speaker 1: I believe he turned into a monster, A total monster,

66
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:49,600
Speaker 1: all right. And before we get to that, we're gonna

67
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:51,119
Speaker 1: do some news. I want to get something off my chest.

68
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:54,360
Speaker 1: I would do it during the It's About Me segment

69
00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:57,880
Speaker 1: coming up on Friday. But this Friday very exciting. Connor,

70
00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:02,200
Speaker 1: or our dear friend from Sports Illustrated and former around

71
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:04,840
Speaker 1: the NFL alum, is going to be sitting in on

72
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:07,800
Speaker 1: the show and he will be sharing his favorite holiday

73
00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:10,280
Speaker 1: movies of two thousand twenty two. He's been keeping me

74
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:14,440
Speaker 1: abreast of the situation for months. Yes, he sits down

75
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:18,280
Speaker 1: with his wonderful wife and they just pour through Christmas movies.

76
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:22,559
Speaker 1: Um at a really almost like a disturbing clip. We're talking.

77
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:26,080
Speaker 1: He'll take in five six movies a week and he's

78
00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:28,040
Speaker 1: going to share some of his favorite this year. How

79
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:30,280
Speaker 1: does he have time to do that? Connor is not

80
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:34,359
Speaker 1: like other people, and I mean that the highest regard

81
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:35,920
Speaker 1: for the men. He just operates at a kind of

82
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:37,640
Speaker 1: a different speed. And I think he found a life

83
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:41,640
Speaker 1: partner that that's incredible. I once when I went to

84
00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:44,480
Speaker 1: London with Connor, and we were going up and down

85
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:46,720
Speaker 1: the hallway heard them on a phone conversation together and

86
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:51,000
Speaker 1: my thought was these two Jael, they just really talking

87
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:55,000
Speaker 1: about each other Connor on Friday, UM. But what I

88
00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:57,720
Speaker 1: was saying was, since I can't take the it's about

89
00:04:57,760 --> 00:04:59,240
Speaker 1: me slot this week, can I just share one thing

90
00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:02,880
Speaker 1: that's really on my radar? It's too late, I've already

91
00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:06,760
Speaker 1: started coming monster. UM. On Sunday, I'm watching Jets Bills

92
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:09,800
Speaker 1: tense game. Obviously it's it's that game starts as a

93
00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:13,120
Speaker 1: defensive struggle, teams feeling each other out, ten straight punts

94
00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:15,120
Speaker 1: to start the game, and they come back and break

95
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:17,440
Speaker 1: at the end of the first quarter, and there's Tracy

96
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:20,120
Speaker 1: Wolfson grabbing the head coach of the Bills. Let's listen

97
00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:22,720
Speaker 1: in to the entirety of the interview. So just slow

98
00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:26,920
Speaker 1: start offensively. Three punts and now the sack that Alan

99
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:29,440
Speaker 1: just took. How much is this weather affecting what you

100
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:31,040
Speaker 1: guys want to do? Yeah, I mean we're not in

101
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:33,159
Speaker 1: a rhythm. That's the bottom lot regardless of the weather.

102
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:35,400
Speaker 1: At this point. You talk about the run game, we

103
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:38,080
Speaker 1: talked about it just twenty four yards and this weather.

104
00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:40,320
Speaker 1: How important is it to establish that We've got to

105
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:43,200
Speaker 1: be able to stablish a lot of scrimmage. Okay, So

106
00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:45,200
Speaker 1: this isn't a criticism of Tracy Wilson, who does a

107
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:47,880
Speaker 1: great job for CBS. It is a criticism of the

108
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:51,800
Speaker 1: entire concept of these interviews. And they're weird enough when

109
00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:53,400
Speaker 1: they come out of the half and the coaches are

110
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:56,560
Speaker 1: in a mindset. But to do it in between quarters,

111
00:05:57,200 --> 00:05:59,360
Speaker 1: that just seems next level. And I don't know who

112
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:07,240
Speaker 1: it's for. Didn't they in between quarters lately? I've noticed that?

113
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:09,360
Speaker 1: But who is that for? I know it shows that

114
00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:12,880
Speaker 1: the broadcast has access, but it really doesn't if you

115
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:15,680
Speaker 1: actually listen to the interview. So who is that the

116
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:20,600
Speaker 1: producers of the show? Because this has been on my

117
00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:22,920
Speaker 1: radar too, and I feel like no one wins. Like

118
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:25,200
Speaker 1: it's bad for the reporter, it's bad for the coach,

119
00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:27,080
Speaker 1: it's bad for the audience. You never get anything from

120
00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:30,440
Speaker 1: that interview. I would love for them to interview one

121
00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:33,680
Speaker 1: of the players that did something interesting in the game

122
00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:36,760
Speaker 1: that we saw already, So whether it was like a

123
00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:39,280
Speaker 1: rookie that scored for the first time or someone who

124
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:41,440
Speaker 1: came up with a big play or someone who was

125
00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:43,800
Speaker 1: like a third stringer that did something cool like that

126
00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:46,479
Speaker 1: would actually give a little bit of juice to that interview.

127
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:48,720
Speaker 1: And I'm also like the coaches, like, here's about to

128
00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:50,520
Speaker 1: kick off and the coaches got his headset off and

129
00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:52,640
Speaker 1: he's over here talking to Tracy Wolfson or fill in

130
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:55,200
Speaker 1: the black nightmare. Dan Campbell was the one exception though.

131
00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:57,800
Speaker 1: Dan Campbell came out and maybe that wasn't the quarter,

132
00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:01,880
Speaker 1: but thank you, they're way. Dan Campbell chose to use

133
00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:04,280
Speaker 1: it as a chance to engage. I think people get

134
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:07,160
Speaker 1: if you are a coach that wants to get known better,

135
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:09,159
Speaker 1: you could use it in a positive way, but most

136
00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:12,960
Speaker 1: of you get nothing. But like Ultra Fleff and we

137
00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:15,360
Speaker 1: called that out Campbell's exception that proves the rule that

138
00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:18,080
Speaker 1: it's just I don't know. Players would be great. I

139
00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:20,320
Speaker 1: don't think the teams would agree to it, because players,

140
00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:23,080
Speaker 1: you know what, they're gonna be perfect because you would

141
00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:25,920
Speaker 1: have a defensive player on if the offense is coming

142
00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:28,880
Speaker 1: out next, or vice versa, and so they actually might

143
00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:31,200
Speaker 1: say something like, oh what about this play? But teams

144
00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:37,040
Speaker 1: would never allow because afraid, how is that doing right?

145
00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:39,880
Speaker 1: And I'm more on the side of like, just let

146
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:42,400
Speaker 1: these guys. They have to be at an elite headspace

147
00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:45,520
Speaker 1: to succeed in our league. Just leave everybody alone until

148
00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:47,880
Speaker 1: after the game. Um that you did see it in

149
00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:50,280
Speaker 1: MLB and they were interviewing guys on the earpiece like

150
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:53,320
Speaker 1: on the field, and I'm like, if that ever happened,

151
00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:55,760
Speaker 1: if Aaron Judge missed the flyball that knocked the Eggs

152
00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:58,640
Speaker 1: out of playoffs because he was talking to Chris Rose

153
00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:01,920
Speaker 1: or something, it would be like in chronicle. We can

154
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:04,840
Speaker 1: we just calm down with the quote unquote access. If

155
00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:09,080
Speaker 1: if I would pay money, genuine money to have Evan Washburn,

156
00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:12,320
Speaker 1: like after a first quarter of a game, like, uh so,

157
00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:16,560
Speaker 1: Matt Patricia going to call another screen there just to

158
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:18,480
Speaker 1: see what would happen. I would make an exception for

159
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:21,480
Speaker 1: Evan Washburn only just because I want to see the

160
00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:25,080
Speaker 1: well adjusted uh Patrick Bateman more. I just need him

161
00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:27,600
Speaker 1: more in my life. All right, let's do some news.

162
00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:35,920
Speaker 1: The history is very rich here, I know, you know what,

163
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:40,120
Speaker 1: shout out to the reddit because they find everything. They

164
00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:44,880
Speaker 1: founded Connie and we have a treasure trove of various

165
00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:47,599
Speaker 1: golf courses in the Poconos region of Pennsylvania, not just

166
00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:51,880
Speaker 1: one episode. We have the entire season of Connie on

167
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:55,199
Speaker 1: Golf with with an elderly gentleman as this as the

168
00:08:55,240 --> 00:09:02,560
Speaker 1: co host work. Harry's a dream class act. Yeah, he's awesome.

169
00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:05,040
Speaker 1: We should get these tapes to Connor. And that's my

170
00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:09,880
Speaker 1: favorite Christmas movie. It's just Connie on Golf. All right,

171
00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:14,520
Speaker 1: let's get good. Okay. I've never played. There's one point

172
00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:16,680
Speaker 1: in one of the videos where I know nothing about.

173
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:20,560
Speaker 1: You walk a hole with a golf pro and one

174
00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:24,160
Speaker 1: of the courses and before he shoots, he's like, oh,

175
00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:26,600
Speaker 1: you set yourself, but pretty well you about a hundred

176
00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:28,520
Speaker 1: and five yards to the pin. And I'm like, there's

177
00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:31,280
Speaker 1: no there's no chance she has any idea of what

178
00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:34,520
Speaker 1: she's saying right now. This is clearly fed to the

179
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:38,240
Speaker 1: tiny box absolutely, Like I will say that is accurate.

180
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:41,120
Speaker 1: I know nothing about golf and I hosted a golf

181
00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:43,719
Speaker 1: show for a while. You pulled it off, did I

182
00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:48,280
Speaker 1: don't know fired people are still talking about it years later.

183
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:51,319
Speaker 1: So you walked away under your own you know what?

184
00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:56,199
Speaker 1: It was pretty good? Um as suspected and I know

185
00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:59,920
Speaker 1: Greg you covered this on the Monday Night football recap

186
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:03,120
Speaker 1: between the Cardinals and Patriots. Kyler Murray went down with

187
00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:06,439
Speaker 1: that non contact injury on the third play from scrimmage

188
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:10,959
Speaker 1: um on Monday, and yes, he tore his a c

189
00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:14,160
Speaker 1: L in his knee mrs. Obviously, the remainder of the

190
00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:18,679
Speaker 1: season and the timing of it happening in mid December

191
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:23,000
Speaker 1: obviously puts into question his availability for a part um

192
00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:26,720
Speaker 1: of the season. Everyone's different, but just as an example,

193
00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:31,000
Speaker 1: um Odell Beckham tore his a c L in early

194
00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:33,000
Speaker 1: February and we're hearing he won't be ready to come

195
00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:35,480
Speaker 1: back at all this year. It's everyone's different. But Murray's

196
00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:38,040
Speaker 1: got a uphill climb and he knows it and that's

197
00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:40,040
Speaker 1: why his reaction was the way it was on the field.

198
00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:43,400
Speaker 1: So here we go. Market's Colt McCoy to finish out

199
00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:46,360
Speaker 1: a law season for Arizona. That, yeah, there's levels to

200
00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:48,640
Speaker 1: this in terms of the devastation for the organization. I

201
00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:51,079
Speaker 1: don't think HBO knew that they were gonna be telecasting

202
00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:54,520
Speaker 1: essentially a horror film by chronicling this team over the

203
00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:57,559
Speaker 1: course of a month plus it last year. By the way,

204
00:10:57,559 --> 00:11:01,360
Speaker 1: the in season Hard Knocks was the I would think

205
00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:02,800
Speaker 1: twice if I was a team going for I do

206
00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:05,079
Speaker 1: also wonder why that these the Cardinals are getting on

207
00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:07,040
Speaker 1: these primetime games because of this HBO thing. I don't

208
00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:09,679
Speaker 1: know that's the next level question. But it is a

209
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:17,520
Speaker 1: rough um ending to a terrible season. Uh. And I

210
00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:20,679
Speaker 1: mean really like this journey began with last offseason and

211
00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:23,480
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray talked about the contract and having the agent

212
00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:25,360
Speaker 1: do this or that, and we spend all these months

213
00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:29,120
Speaker 1: doing it, and then the team completely flatlines. Um they

214
00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:32,839
Speaker 1: look about is disorganized on offense and schemeless and without

215
00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:35,439
Speaker 1: a plan as any team in the NFC, and Kyler

216
00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:37,920
Speaker 1: Murray didn't really save them or help them that much

217
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:40,600
Speaker 1: out of that problem. This year. I have a weird question.

218
00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:44,240
Speaker 1: I will say this, do you need immediately You'd say,

219
00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:46,839
Speaker 1: of course not, because he's injured, But does it if

220
00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:50,160
Speaker 1: the Cardinals just blow everything up and they're looking for assets,

221
00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:53,120
Speaker 1: does it make Kyler Murray more tradeable to a team

222
00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:54,599
Speaker 1: that says, we get it, We lose them for a

223
00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:56,839
Speaker 1: chunk of next year, but we believe we can do

224
00:11:56,960 --> 00:11:59,839
Speaker 1: what the Cardinals couldn't and Kyler Murray goes somewhere else

225
00:11:59,880 --> 00:12:04,400
Speaker 1: in highly versus running this back. I don't think he's

226
00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:09,440
Speaker 1: tradeable because of the injury. Why And I don't think

227
00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:12,000
Speaker 1: they'd want to treade him. Why would they. I want

228
00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:14,319
Speaker 1: to keep Kyler Murray. I just want to see what

229
00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:17,240
Speaker 1: probably the logical answer, what he looks like with a

230
00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:22,760
Speaker 1: different coach. And I didn't totally realize that in the moment,

231
00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:25,440
Speaker 1: just like, oh, this was this was the end of something.

232
00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:27,319
Speaker 1: Last night, I think this was the end of the

233
00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:31,960
Speaker 1: the Murray Cliff Kingsbury eras that that injury. You could

234
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:34,520
Speaker 1: kind of see it on Kingsbury's face. I think that

235
00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:37,439
Speaker 1: he kind of knew that too, be he was in

236
00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:40,720
Speaker 1: that game. I mean, I felt like even the whites

237
00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:43,800
Speaker 1: of his eyes were just like blazing red when they

238
00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:46,120
Speaker 1: when they panned to him on the sideline, like you

239
00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:49,199
Speaker 1: could see the stress literally oozing out of his eyes.

240
00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:52,079
Speaker 1: Like this has been such a bad season for them,

241
00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:56,239
Speaker 1: and the future is so uncertain for not only Kingsbury

242
00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:59,520
Speaker 1: but Steve come to and I don't know what they're

243
00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:02,280
Speaker 1: gonna do, what the plan will be for next season

244
00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:05,719
Speaker 1: to fill in the spot at quarterback, because you never

245
00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:07,560
Speaker 1: know when he's going to be back and when he's

246
00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:09,199
Speaker 1: going to be healthy enough to play, because that's such

247
00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:12,280
Speaker 1: a big part of his game moving around. It's interesting too, Yes,

248
00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:14,079
Speaker 1: and you hope he comes back and he's the same guy,

249
00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:16,760
Speaker 1: the same guy before the injury. But I actually had

250
00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:20,640
Speaker 1: the opposite thought that I wondered if uh Murray now

251
00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:24,920
Speaker 1: exiting the picture? So these final four games for Kingsbury,

252
00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:27,240
Speaker 1: is no one's even gonna factor anything in how the

253
00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:30,880
Speaker 1: team closes? Does that somehow in a way help Kingsbury

254
00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:34,120
Speaker 1: keep his job and then gets a fresh start with

255
00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:36,960
Speaker 1: Murray back eventually next year. I mean, could you put

256
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:38,760
Speaker 1: it past this team after what they did? I would say,

257
00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:42,640
Speaker 1: wouldn't put it past maybe the ownership because of the

258
00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:46,120
Speaker 1: contract extinction they also gave Cliff Kingsbury and kind and

259
00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:48,280
Speaker 1: maybe you try to just chalk this up as everything

260
00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:51,000
Speaker 1: went wrong. Um there, we're gonna try this again. But

261
00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:54,160
Speaker 1: I think there's enough evidence to suggest that, like another

262
00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:56,240
Speaker 1: year of click, Cliff Kingsbury is not going to look

263
00:13:56,360 --> 00:13:59,240
Speaker 1: drastically different than this. And I tend to agree, even

264
00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:01,319
Speaker 1: though I asked the question that like, your asset is

265
00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:03,839
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray and maybe if you think, I know, it's

266
00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:06,280
Speaker 1: not Sean Payton, but someone can come in and do

267
00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:09,959
Speaker 1: with Kyler Murray. What other great QB whispers do with

268
00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:12,440
Speaker 1: other quarterbacks and then you can sell that to people.

269
00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:15,160
Speaker 1: I don't think you can sell this to Cardinals fans. Again.

270
00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:18,640
Speaker 1: I think it's actually is a the most logical place

271
00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:21,400
Speaker 1: for Sean Payton, just because I think they'd handle hand

272
00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:24,600
Speaker 1: over all the controls and all the money potentially to

273
00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:27,400
Speaker 1: let him just do whatever he wanted. And there's a

274
00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:30,800
Speaker 1: quarterback there. I looked up the numbers you could trade

275
00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:35,040
Speaker 1: them like after June one without dealing with the salary

276
00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:38,240
Speaker 1: cap complications. Before that you couldn't. Uh. They right now

277
00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:40,520
Speaker 1: would be projected to have the six pick in the draft, though,

278
00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:42,400
Speaker 1: so it's not the craziest thing to ask. I mean,

279
00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:44,840
Speaker 1: look how they got Kyler Murray who they had before that,

280
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:47,000
Speaker 1: so they will think differently that stay it's the same

281
00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:51,040
Speaker 1: GM Maybe not then though A morose um Jason Zumwalt

282
00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:54,920
Speaker 1: on text uh noted Cardinals fan Voice of God on

283
00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:59,040
Speaker 1: our program said that he felt like this that his

284
00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:01,920
Speaker 1: team was going to be in the darkness for like decades,

285
00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:06,080
Speaker 1: and I said to him, he's experienced that, so yes,

286
00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:09,600
Speaker 1: I And my reply was, these things can turn around

287
00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:12,720
Speaker 1: quickly in the NFL, as we know. But I think

288
00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:14,680
Speaker 1: the first you got to get this brain trust figured

289
00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:17,480
Speaker 1: out in Arizona, and now it's complicated by the one

290
00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:20,760
Speaker 1: guy that you kind of saw his potentially a superstar

291
00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:23,280
Speaker 1: on the roster, and he is. Now you do have

292
00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:27,600
Speaker 1: a remarkable, um sturdy, well respected backup to take you,

293
00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:29,720
Speaker 1: to take you through this darkness until the end of

294
00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:31,920
Speaker 1: the season. And maybe did annoy me that he didn't

295
00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:33,800
Speaker 1: play well against the Patriot did not play well and

296
00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:36,920
Speaker 1: that game needed some he cult McCoy to play well.

297
00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:39,560
Speaker 1: You look like did you tweet something like we're all

298
00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:42,080
Speaker 1: cult McCoy or something like that? I was like, what

299
00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:44,200
Speaker 1: is going on with Dan here? Because I've never what

300
00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:46,840
Speaker 1: was what was there? It's pretty easy to follow the

301
00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:49,240
Speaker 1: threat on that one. I mean, you just complimenting cult

302
00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:52,120
Speaker 1: McCoy had in general to defeat the Patriots, who are

303
00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:57,160
Speaker 1: in a playoff race, played, he played okay? The Patriots.

304
00:15:57,640 --> 00:16:00,480
Speaker 1: Jets fans are like anyone that likes a little Patriots

305
00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:02,440
Speaker 1: shouting for it. Just just wait for the next couple

306
00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:06,080
Speaker 1: of weeks. It's coming. This team is done. Last night

307
00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:08,640
Speaker 1: did not? That's interesting? All right? Did you watch the

308
00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:14,640
Speaker 1: game on Monday? All right, let's move on. Weird situation

309
00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:18,920
Speaker 1: developing in Atlanta. Um, I'm seeing this reported in the

310
00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:22,800
Speaker 1: Athletic that Marcus Mariotta has left the team and there's

311
00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:27,800
Speaker 1: no indication or on when or if he will return.

312
00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:31,160
Speaker 1: This comes, of course, a day after head coach Arthur

313
00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:34,160
Speaker 1: Smith announced that the team had made a quote performance

314
00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:37,480
Speaker 1: based decision to bench Mariotta in favor of third round

315
00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:44,600
Speaker 1: rookie Desmond Ritter. Obviously, the media covering the Falcons is

316
00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:47,800
Speaker 1: going to ask about this, and here's what Arthur Smith

317
00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:54,000
Speaker 1: had to say today. Yeah, and that had nothing to

318
00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:56,080
Speaker 1: do with the move here, Josh. But there's you know,

319
00:16:56,640 --> 00:16:58,760
Speaker 1: like a lot of athletes, some chronic nothing that's been

320
00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:02,080
Speaker 1: an issue this season. But that's the prerogative. And so

321
00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:05,320
Speaker 1: you know, as this happens, you know, that's why we

322
00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:08,320
Speaker 1: signed Logan on Saturday though, make sure we have depth there.

323
00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:10,280
Speaker 1: And well, you know, once that decision is made then

324
00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:12,159
Speaker 1: I'll up at you. But he's not here right now,

325
00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:17,680
Speaker 1: so in case, you know, just give me in full transparency. Alright.

326
00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:20,119
Speaker 1: So just to clarify, there is a quote unquote chronic

327
00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:24,240
Speaker 1: knee injury that's leading to the team putting Marcus Mariotta

328
00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:28,080
Speaker 1: on i R. But that doesn't pass the smell test. Greig, Well,

329
00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:30,520
Speaker 1: he said it he left the team and that that

330
00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:33,480
Speaker 1: was the reporting to from the athletic. If you go

331
00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:34,920
Speaker 1: to i R, it doesn't mean you're allowed to just

332
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:37,119
Speaker 1: leave the team. I'll see you next July. Just for

333
00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:40,600
Speaker 1: people clarity, I think he's being put on i R

334
00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:44,400
Speaker 1: because he left the team, not the other way. Checked

335
00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:46,959
Speaker 1: in about our show in the same capacity. I think

336
00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:48,720
Speaker 1: it's a great thing to do your work in a

337
00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:51,600
Speaker 1: certain pinch, but I don't think it applies. But you

338
00:17:51,680 --> 00:17:54,639
Speaker 1: could step away for a podcast based i R, but

339
00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:56,800
Speaker 1: you'd still have to come to the office. You can't disappear.

340
00:17:57,040 --> 00:17:59,000
Speaker 1: And Marcus like, all right, keep me on the active roster.

341
00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:01,000
Speaker 1: I think Mark and I are aligned that we like

342
00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:04,360
Speaker 1: this move for Mariota, just saying, you know what, things

343
00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:06,439
Speaker 1: are not working out here, I'm gonna go. He did,

344
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:09,399
Speaker 1: I could not his wife. Yeah. I did. Also just

345
00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:12,119
Speaker 1: have a child, you guys. You guys mentioned and so

346
00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:15,560
Speaker 1: it's like a paternity leave. But it's quite a move.

347
00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:17,680
Speaker 1: The second time he's been benched by Arthur Smith in

348
00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:20,520
Speaker 1: the middle of a season, once for Ryan Tannehill and

349
00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:23,840
Speaker 1: uh Arthur Smith, who is not very transparent with the

350
00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:26,560
Speaker 1: media was interesting there. He offered up information he didn't

351
00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:28,800
Speaker 1: have to and said, oh, just to be transparent. He's

352
00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:31,040
Speaker 1: also the guy it's like, I'm about moving off Mariota

353
00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:33,760
Speaker 1: at all. I promise I'm not moving off Mariota at all.

354
00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:38,040
Speaker 1: And then he did it. And now Logan Woodside would

355
00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:41,120
Speaker 1: be your Falcon starter should anything happen to Desmond Ritter

356
00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:43,359
Speaker 1: in these last final four weeks, and when all the

357
00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:47,440
Speaker 1: fantasy owners out there that's still have a pulse in

358
00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:49,399
Speaker 1: the playoffs that want to pick up a streaming defense

359
00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:51,240
Speaker 1: to take a look at who the Atlanta Falcons play

360
00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:55,680
Speaker 1: in the final four weeks or if they forbid ever

361
00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:59,359
Speaker 1: won the division, which is not beyond comprehension. And then

362
00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:02,960
Speaker 1: something been to Desmond Ritter, and Logan Woodside is starting

363
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:05,720
Speaker 1: a playoff game, and I wanted a garage door to

364
00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:09,200
Speaker 1: close on my body at that point. So I think

365
00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:11,720
Speaker 1: Greater will be good. I think he'll be at least

366
00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:16,359
Speaker 1: as good. You could just not watch. Also, well, that

367
00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:18,600
Speaker 1: circles back to what we were just discussing about my

368
00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:23,440
Speaker 1: employee here, so that doesn't apply all right, Yes, Mr

369
00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:26,720
Speaker 1: here comes justin off the top turn buckle. To dunk

370
00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:30,720
Speaker 1: on Marcus Marianna. Here we go. This is just because

371
00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:32,800
Speaker 1: we mentioned it on the Friday Fun Show, but not

372
00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:35,119
Speaker 1: everyone has always tuned into every show. So I just

373
00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:38,600
Speaker 1: wanted to reiterate that Mark will now be allowed to

374
00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:42,840
Speaker 1: keep his shirt on for every podcast episode until the

375
00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:45,159
Speaker 1: next time he declares that he would do it. We

376
00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:48,280
Speaker 1: did leave open the possibility that he still could take

377
00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:50,280
Speaker 1: his shirt off if he chooses, if he wants to.

378
00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:52,840
Speaker 1: I think everyone would appreciate. But this was tied to

379
00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:56,280
Speaker 1: Mariota not starting every game, which I vowed he would

380
00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:58,879
Speaker 1: not write. But I knew that when I said that,

381
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:02,000
Speaker 1: So there's no drama to out to this update. All right,

382
00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:05,800
Speaker 1: that's what's happening in the news. All right, let's take

383
00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:10,160
Speaker 1: a quick break and then we will get into our

384
00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:15,560
Speaker 1: what do we calling this seg This is uh figuring

385
00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:26,160
Speaker 1: it outline. Let's see what the line we're talking about. Uh, yeah,

386
00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:29,800
Speaker 1: we're talking about. All right, We're gonna think during the break,

387
00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:33,639
Speaker 1: will be on the line. All right, here we go,

388
00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:39,640
Speaker 1: We'll be right back. Are you ready? It's a Saturday

389
00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:45,359
Speaker 1: triple header only on NFL Network. First, the Colts battled

390
00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:52,080
Speaker 1: the bike, then the Ravens space the ground and the

391
00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:56,480
Speaker 1: Dolphins take on the Bills in prime time, back to

392
00:20:56,800 --> 00:21:03,280
Speaker 1: back to back. It's a Saturday Showdown triple header Saturday,

393
00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:08,520
Speaker 1: starting at one only on NFL Network. Welcome back. We

394
00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:12,359
Speaker 1: have we thought it over, and we've decided the name

395
00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:19,879
Speaker 1: of this segment is something about steaks, steaks, dinner, Steaks dinner.

396
00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:25,840
Speaker 1: We prepare ahead of time, the alright, steaks high stakes?

397
00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:28,920
Speaker 1: Stakes are high? Stakes? Are stakes are high? A classic

398
00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:30,800
Speaker 1: day last soul album you thought they were in their

399
00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:34,240
Speaker 1: peak was passed, but they came back for one more banger. Nice.

400
00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:39,520
Speaker 1: I like that. That's good. How about sloppy Steaks of

401
00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:42,760
Speaker 1: I think you should leave fame? All right, sloppy steaks

402
00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:48,000
Speaker 1: here we go, sloppy steaks at your working title as

403
00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:50,600
Speaker 1: we're known for. All right, let's get into it. Four

404
00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:54,000
Speaker 1: weeks to go in the regular season. Some players, teams,

405
00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:57,920
Speaker 1: what have you? Coaches, GM's owners who knows um have

406
00:21:58,119 --> 00:22:00,359
Speaker 1: higher stakes than others. As we come down stretch of

407
00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:03,920
Speaker 1: this regular season, Greg Rosenthal, get us go, put a

408
00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:06,720
Speaker 1: stake on it, Put the steak on the grill, get

409
00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:09,800
Speaker 1: it sizzling. Don't be annoyed that I'm going to talk

410
00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:11,719
Speaker 1: about Gina Smith because actually, I don't think we've hit

411
00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:14,360
Speaker 1: him that much lately, but the steaks are genuinely high.

412
00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:18,800
Speaker 1: I think I think he's this is this is apt,

413
00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:21,680
Speaker 1: it's apt. He's a free agent after this year. The

414
00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:26,600
Speaker 1: Seattle Seahawks had the number two overall pick in the draft,

415
00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:28,720
Speaker 1: but that drafts not till late April, still annoys me.

416
00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:31,560
Speaker 1: The draft is after free agency. I think eventually we

417
00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:33,600
Speaker 1: could get that change if we complain about it enough.

418
00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:37,600
Speaker 1: Uh got another It's about me here. That's how it is, though,

419
00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:40,800
Speaker 1: And so Gino Smith has to sign a contract before then.

420
00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:42,760
Speaker 1: The Seattle Seahawks have to decide what to do with

421
00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:47,560
Speaker 1: Gino Smith. Before then, he's proven he's a starting quarterback

422
00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:49,359
Speaker 1: in the NFL. To me, he's proving that he should

423
00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:52,639
Speaker 1: be the Seattle Seahawks starting quarterback next year, because if

424
00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:55,200
Speaker 1: you have an above average starter at this point, you

425
00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:57,920
Speaker 1: gotta just keep him. Whatever the cost is gonna be,

426
00:22:58,000 --> 00:22:59,960
Speaker 1: whether that's a franchise tag or a long term deal,

427
00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:02,760
Speaker 1: you need to make it happen. But I'm not totally sure,

428
00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:05,879
Speaker 1: and I'm definitely not assuming that the next four weeks

429
00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:08,760
Speaker 1: won't be instructive. They've got some tough matchups starting with

430
00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:11,560
Speaker 1: Thursday night, which we can talk about later. But how

431
00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:15,760
Speaker 1: he plays in these last four weeks is gonna affect

432
00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:18,920
Speaker 1: his career with the Seahawks or his career on the league.

433
00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:20,520
Speaker 1: I don't know how the other teams are gonna view

434
00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:23,960
Speaker 1: Gino Smith, but I think people remember the end and

435
00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:26,760
Speaker 1: whether if if this stays at the same level or

436
00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:29,080
Speaker 1: goes down. And he's been a little more up and down,

437
00:23:29,119 --> 00:23:31,359
Speaker 1: I would say over the last four or five weeks, uh,

438
00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:35,639
Speaker 1: not as consistently just amazing. That's gonna affect his future.

439
00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:39,000
Speaker 1: I think, barring a collapse, he wins Comeback Player of

440
00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:42,360
Speaker 1: the Year, he'd be my vote. There's other couple other candidates,

441
00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:45,480
Speaker 1: but there's got to be multiple teams of Seattle ever

442
00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:47,439
Speaker 1: went in another direction that have to view this as

443
00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:50,920
Speaker 1: a marketable player who recreated himself. And even when he's

444
00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:52,439
Speaker 1: had some of these ships, I get that there's been

445
00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:55,040
Speaker 1: a few more turnovers. It hasn't been like the pristine

446
00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:58,280
Speaker 1: metrics and numbers of some of the earlier showings for Gino,

447
00:23:58,359 --> 00:24:01,960
Speaker 1: but he's still every week is doing pretty amazing Geno

448
00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:04,080
Speaker 1: esque things, and I think it's more about the rest

449
00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:05,720
Speaker 1: of the offense kind of they're doing the run game

450
00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:08,160
Speaker 1: and stuff right now, exposing him a bit. But Geno Smith,

451
00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:11,520
Speaker 1: to me, like absolutely would get a starting job somewhere

452
00:24:11,560 --> 00:24:13,640
Speaker 1: else of Seattle ever passed. I don't know if Geno

453
00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:15,280
Speaker 1: Smith's the guy i'd want to, Like, let's bring in

454
00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:18,800
Speaker 1: a first round rookie and have Gino be super cool

455
00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:21,520
Speaker 1: to him and hope that goes well. Maybe he is

456
00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:26,040
Speaker 1: such a he's become now, um something of an afterthought

457
00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:30,320
Speaker 1: to a bit of a fascinating off season figure. Because yeah,

458
00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:32,920
Speaker 1: if the Seahawks do decide not to bring him back,

459
00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:35,159
Speaker 1: or even if they do, when they give him the

460
00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:37,359
Speaker 1: how much do you pay Gino Smith? Like that what

461
00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:40,320
Speaker 1: I mean, what is his value on the open market? Like,

462
00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:42,919
Speaker 1: do you pay Gino Smith thirty five million dollars a year?

463
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:45,400
Speaker 1: What if it's like Derek Carr's type contract or something

464
00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:47,760
Speaker 1: that's what Derek Carr makes though, So that's that's what

465
00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:49,840
Speaker 1: I mean, And I do you have to He's got

466
00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:51,680
Speaker 1: the forty Niners this week, You've got the Chiefs and

467
00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:55,280
Speaker 1: the Jets. It's a tough closing stretch here too, and

468
00:24:55,400 --> 00:24:57,800
Speaker 1: I think if he gets them into the playoffs, and

469
00:24:57,840 --> 00:25:00,560
Speaker 1: you watch like a nice geno playoff performer. He's going

470
00:25:00,640 --> 00:25:02,200
Speaker 1: to make more because of it, and he's gonna be

471
00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:04,199
Speaker 1: more likely to be in Seattle. I think it couldn't

472
00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:07,120
Speaker 1: be a bad Panthers team at home, Like he's lost

473
00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:09,600
Speaker 1: me a little bit over the bad What are we

474
00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:15,920
Speaker 1: talking a morning? Different podcasts, different two different shows. The

475
00:25:16,040 --> 00:25:18,200
Speaker 1: Panthers are a little bit like my pet team. I

476
00:25:18,280 --> 00:25:22,880
Speaker 1: have adopted them, but Gino just said they suck. I'm

477
00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:25,680
Speaker 1: just saying that the Seahawks should have beat some pets suck.

478
00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:28,360
Speaker 1: But I think people I love them just the same,

479
00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:31,119
Speaker 1: even if I don't think they're great. People can separate

480
00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:33,399
Speaker 1: the quarterback from the rest of the team a little bit.

481
00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:35,200
Speaker 1: But I do think that's why the stakes are high.

482
00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:38,840
Speaker 1: That he has to finish off what he started on

483
00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:41,480
Speaker 1: some level, and I'm confident he will because he hasn't

484
00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:43,480
Speaker 1: really shown it. Even if he plays at that level

485
00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:45,720
Speaker 1: like he did on Sunday or the last couple of

486
00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:48,800
Speaker 1: weeks throughout the next month, that'll be enough. But football

487
00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:50,840
Speaker 1: is unpredictable. He could make himself a lot of money,

488
00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:53,159
Speaker 1: or he could lose. I think Seattle will want to

489
00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:56,960
Speaker 1: keep him ultimately, steaks are high. You nailed it, Okay,

490
00:25:57,040 --> 00:26:05,479
Speaker 1: steaks are sloppy, steaks are sizzling. H The sega is that, UM,

491
00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:08,880
Speaker 1: let's stick with quarterbacks since we're here, and I want

492
00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:11,440
Speaker 1: to talk about two guys that you'd say, what's what's

493
00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:15,120
Speaker 1: their connection? But they kind of sneaky, have an interesting connection.

494
00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:19,520
Speaker 1: I refer to Jets QB. Mike White referred to forty

495
00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:23,359
Speaker 1: Niners QB. Brock Party. These are two guys that have

496
00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:27,480
Speaker 1: a real opportunity in these last four weeks to make

497
00:26:27,560 --> 00:26:31,640
Speaker 1: their team think long and hard about some big decisions

498
00:26:31,720 --> 00:26:35,040
Speaker 1: they made in a draft a year and a half ago.

499
00:26:35,320 --> 00:26:38,639
Speaker 1: Because Zack Wilson and the two thousand twenty one draft

500
00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:43,400
Speaker 1: went number two overall, Trey Lance in the same draft

501
00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:47,040
Speaker 1: went the next pick, number three overall. Zack Wilson has

502
00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:50,120
Speaker 1: bombed out this year, and he may I think maybe

503
00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:52,480
Speaker 1: they listened to the podcast the Jets, or maybe they

504
00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:55,040
Speaker 1: just watched the tape. It sounds like Zack Wilson, if

505
00:26:55,119 --> 00:26:57,719
Speaker 1: Mike White plays on Thursday, will be elevated to active

506
00:26:57,800 --> 00:27:00,480
Speaker 1: duty as the backup quarterback. That gotta get alacko out

507
00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:03,880
Speaker 1: of there. Um. But obviously it's been a terrible season

508
00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:07,640
Speaker 1: for him, Trey Lance, he's missing this entire season. If

509
00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:11,240
Speaker 1: Purdy steps in and does the Garoppolo type job, Garoppolo

510
00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:14,160
Speaker 1: I think gets traded either way, most likely, I think um.

511
00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:17,080
Speaker 1: And then they then can make a decision like do

512
00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:19,040
Speaker 1: we want to roll with this kid if he proves

513
00:27:19,119 --> 00:27:21,159
Speaker 1: to be someone that could play the guitar? And I

514
00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:23,280
Speaker 1: think the same thing with White. If White can finish

515
00:27:23,320 --> 00:27:25,679
Speaker 1: strong and the Jets can go to the playoffs, are

516
00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:28,080
Speaker 1: the Jets gonna turn back to Zach Wilson next year

517
00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:30,440
Speaker 1: or get somebody else? I think they'll think long and

518
00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:32,880
Speaker 1: hard about it. So steakes are high for both these guys.

519
00:27:32,960 --> 00:27:36,000
Speaker 1: They can really put their teams in a mind bender

520
00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:38,480
Speaker 1: with a strong finish one like the Link between My

521
00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:40,920
Speaker 1: life that you paired them because I can't think of

522
00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:45,800
Speaker 1: two other No namers that Day three draft were elevated

523
00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:48,960
Speaker 1: to starting roles very quickly during a tumultuous season for

524
00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:53,480
Speaker 1: two different reasons, and all in Unison. Both locker rooms

525
00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:55,679
Speaker 1: are coming out of the woodwork to tell you how

526
00:27:55,760 --> 00:27:57,199
Speaker 1: much they love these guys. And I mean you can

527
00:27:57,200 --> 00:27:59,880
Speaker 1: see at number one with what happened to Mike White physically,

528
00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:01,880
Speaker 1: like the dude as a warrior, and he I think

529
00:28:01,880 --> 00:28:06,480
Speaker 1: he's He is probably in every personality tick and characteristic,

530
00:28:06,560 --> 00:28:09,520
Speaker 1: the polar opposite of what Zack Wilson projected to the

531
00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:13,080
Speaker 1: locker room. And I don't know how the Jets could

532
00:28:13,119 --> 00:28:15,399
Speaker 1: do anything more than give Zack Wilson a chance in

533
00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:18,040
Speaker 1: the preseason if he's still on the team at that point,

534
00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:20,280
Speaker 1: if you haven't moved him to get that job. I

535
00:28:20,480 --> 00:28:22,480
Speaker 1: just would never go into the next Jet season with

536
00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:24,640
Speaker 1: Zach Wilson. Maybe I'd be the one would be wrong

537
00:28:24,680 --> 00:28:26,360
Speaker 1: if I made a decision and he goes somewhere else

538
00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:28,840
Speaker 1: and thrives. But you can just see it or not

539
00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:30,480
Speaker 1: see it with these guys on some level, and I

540
00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:33,360
Speaker 1: see nothing with Zack. Are you saying Mike White as

541
00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:36,439
Speaker 1: a starter potentially going forward and pretty is the backup

542
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:38,760
Speaker 1: in front of him. I think he has the respect

543
00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:42,000
Speaker 1: of the locker room and the coaching staff, and he

544
00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:45,160
Speaker 1: and Sala despite the fact that they lost, he thought

545
00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:47,320
Speaker 1: he played really well and then was tough as hell,

546
00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:49,680
Speaker 1: and I think if he could finish strong, yeah, I

547
00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:51,840
Speaker 1: think he will have a hold of that organization, whether

548
00:28:51,880 --> 00:28:53,960
Speaker 1: it's the right move or not. Well, some context for

549
00:28:54,040 --> 00:28:56,880
Speaker 1: this Jimmy Garoppolo is a free agent. That's right. He

550
00:28:56,960 --> 00:28:59,480
Speaker 1: set that up when he came back to the forty

551
00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:02,080
Speaker 1: nine ers. So I think you're right. How Pretty plays

552
00:29:02,120 --> 00:29:04,560
Speaker 1: informs that. Could we be having a tray Lance Pretty

553
00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:07,680
Speaker 1: conversation next year like we were having with Trey Lands

554
00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:10,200
Speaker 1: Garoppolo this year. I'm with you. If Pretty plays well

555
00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:14,520
Speaker 1: and he's played better uh than than the C. J.

556
00:29:14,680 --> 00:29:16,840
Speaker 1: Bethards or Nick mollins is of the world, He's already

557
00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:19,440
Speaker 1: shown that he has higher potending. We're gonna get to Thursday,

558
00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:22,959
Speaker 1: we'll see more. Mike White's a free agent, though, too,

559
00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:27,600
Speaker 1: so that just complicates it. He's going to have a

560
00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:30,280
Speaker 1: job in the NFL next year. The Jets aren't going

561
00:29:30,320 --> 00:29:33,080
Speaker 1: to be the only team that will happily give him

562
00:29:33,120 --> 00:29:36,840
Speaker 1: that job. Certainly they'll have the pole position. If they

563
00:29:36,880 --> 00:29:39,320
Speaker 1: want to keep Mike White, they can. But how he plays,

564
00:29:39,360 --> 00:29:41,120
Speaker 1: you're right over the next four weeks is going to

565
00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:43,680
Speaker 1: change his life. Mike White needs to maybe show his

566
00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:47,360
Speaker 1: loyalty though to the family. But brought him in and

567
00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:56,080
Speaker 1: gave him this opportunity. That's that's what you do. I

568
00:29:56,120 --> 00:30:00,240
Speaker 1: still haven't finished the movie Mike White. He's got to

569
00:30:00,280 --> 00:30:04,240
Speaker 1: show respect. He's got to show his family love. They

570
00:30:04,320 --> 00:30:09,360
Speaker 1: showed him love, otherwise it would be a betrayal. He

571
00:30:09,480 --> 00:30:12,640
Speaker 1: put his body on the line for his teammates and

572
00:30:12,800 --> 00:30:15,400
Speaker 1: for the city that he represents, and that will not

573
00:30:15,480 --> 00:30:20,920
Speaker 1: be a forgotten So he can't forget that counterpoint. Every

574
00:30:20,960 --> 00:30:23,720
Speaker 1: one of these films that you guys are aping like

575
00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:26,560
Speaker 1: has massive betrayal, elements of betrayal that's started the plot,

576
00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:28,959
Speaker 1: so perfect for him to do that. Hopefully he has

577
00:30:29,040 --> 00:30:31,800
Speaker 1: better decision making than locking up the Seahawks against the

578
00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:39,160
Speaker 1: Panthers too. It's the lock Father then breaking great you

579
00:30:39,240 --> 00:30:41,280
Speaker 1: will have You will be judged for that in this

580
00:30:41,480 --> 00:30:45,440
Speaker 1: life or the next by the lock Father. All right, Colleen,

581
00:30:45,640 --> 00:30:49,360
Speaker 1: I believe you also have some quarterback I do. Okay,

582
00:30:49,560 --> 00:30:53,160
Speaker 1: So how about this one. Steaks are wait, that last

583
00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:57,200
Speaker 1: one with the stakes sloppy or sizzling? Right? So this

584
00:30:57,400 --> 00:31:02,440
Speaker 1: is the second. Now I think they're high stakes. Stakes

585
00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:04,680
Speaker 1: are high for the teams and the players in your

586
00:31:04,760 --> 00:31:10,840
Speaker 1: in your case, yeah, they're high to sizzling. Okay, Um,

587
00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:14,800
Speaker 1: I think that the steaks are sizzling here, Like I

588
00:31:15,040 --> 00:31:17,680
Speaker 1: I like a rare steak. I don't like anything that

589
00:31:18,320 --> 00:31:23,520
Speaker 1: is above that it can't be if it's medium rare gross, Like,

590
00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:27,000
Speaker 1: don't even give it to me, it's overcooked, so well

591
00:31:27,120 --> 00:31:32,360
Speaker 1: done with catchup gross. Jared Golf is a guy who

592
00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:36,280
Speaker 1: has so much on the line, guy that I didn't

593
00:31:36,320 --> 00:31:38,400
Speaker 1: think at the beginning of the season would be in

594
00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:41,600
Speaker 1: this position. But here we are with the Lions rolling,

595
00:31:41,840 --> 00:31:44,880
Speaker 1: and he's he has them rolling at this point, back

596
00:31:44,920 --> 00:31:49,440
Speaker 1: to back weeks where he has played incredible three yard games.

597
00:31:49,760 --> 00:31:53,320
Speaker 1: He hasn't had a pick. He's throwing these long bomb touchdowns.

598
00:31:53,560 --> 00:31:56,400
Speaker 1: He's playing as well as he did when the Rams

599
00:31:56,440 --> 00:31:58,440
Speaker 1: went to the Super Bowl. And he's doing it with

600
00:31:58,600 --> 00:32:02,120
Speaker 1: Dan Campbell in Detroit with the Lions, which seems kind

601
00:32:02,160 --> 00:32:05,240
Speaker 1: of unbelievable to me. And now you have guys coming

602
00:32:05,280 --> 00:32:08,720
Speaker 1: in like Jamison Williams. This is a situation for Jared

603
00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:11,760
Speaker 1: Goff where he has gotten his opportunity. He showed them

604
00:32:12,160 --> 00:32:15,000
Speaker 1: that he can be the guy to take this team

605
00:32:15,120 --> 00:32:17,600
Speaker 1: on a ride with him. And the Lions have two

606
00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:20,000
Speaker 1: first round picks coming up in the draft. What are

607
00:32:20,040 --> 00:32:22,400
Speaker 1: they going to do now? They're in a position where

608
00:32:22,600 --> 00:32:25,200
Speaker 1: they don't necessarily have to have their hand forced to

609
00:32:25,360 --> 00:32:27,960
Speaker 1: get a quarterback if they don't want to yet their

610
00:32:28,040 --> 00:32:30,560
Speaker 1: defense needs so much help they could use one of

611
00:32:30,640 --> 00:32:33,880
Speaker 1: those picks to help the defense. Instead, they've already brought

612
00:32:33,960 --> 00:32:36,960
Speaker 1: in some of these pieces to surround the quarterback. So

613
00:32:37,120 --> 00:32:42,400
Speaker 1: maybe wait. It gave me this memory of reading this

614
00:32:42,840 --> 00:32:46,920
Speaker 1: like seven thousand word long form about the Browns organization

615
00:32:47,280 --> 00:32:51,360
Speaker 1: passing on Big Ben because they had Jeff Garcia. And

616
00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:53,800
Speaker 1: I'm not saying that Jeff Garcia and Jared Goff for

617
00:32:53,840 --> 00:32:56,840
Speaker 1: the same guy, but there wasn't actually, perception wise, a

618
00:32:56,960 --> 00:32:59,840
Speaker 1: huge difference between that. That they just delayed the idea

619
00:32:59,880 --> 00:33:02,040
Speaker 1: of going getting a guy that went to college in

620
00:33:02,120 --> 00:33:04,560
Speaker 1: Ohio and did a trial for them in the pouring rain,

621
00:33:05,040 --> 00:33:08,000
Speaker 1: because they had the prospects of Jeff Garcia, a veteran

622
00:33:08,080 --> 00:33:09,800
Speaker 1: that they kind of liked to come in a great

623
00:33:09,880 --> 00:33:13,000
Speaker 1: job with Davis. But pointing, I would just say the

624
00:33:13,080 --> 00:33:15,360
Speaker 1: only thing about Jared Goff is it shouldn't prevent you

625
00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:19,240
Speaker 1: from getting the number one, like getting the top quarterback

626
00:33:19,320 --> 00:33:20,960
Speaker 1: in the draft. You can get, that's all. But their

627
00:33:21,040 --> 00:33:23,480
Speaker 1: draft position makes that tougher than it would have been

628
00:33:23,520 --> 00:33:25,080
Speaker 1: if you thought they were gonna go you know, three

629
00:33:25,160 --> 00:33:27,680
Speaker 1: and fift their fourth overall. Now with that, with that

630
00:33:27,840 --> 00:33:31,320
Speaker 1: Rams pick, uh, so they will have a hard decision.

631
00:33:31,440 --> 00:33:33,920
Speaker 1: And my initial instinct is like this would be in

632
00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:37,600
Speaker 1: the stakes are high category, not sizzling, because Jared Goff's

633
00:33:37,720 --> 00:33:40,320
Speaker 1: made his money, He's proven he's a this is a

634
00:33:40,400 --> 00:33:42,520
Speaker 1: great story, it's a top five offense. But maybe it

635
00:33:42,560 --> 00:33:44,480
Speaker 1: could be sizzling in the sense that if he leads

636
00:33:44,520 --> 00:33:47,600
Speaker 1: them to a playoff spot, he's a legend forever in Detroit.

637
00:33:47,840 --> 00:33:49,960
Speaker 1: Like it just in the sense that, like, why are

638
00:33:50,040 --> 00:33:52,440
Speaker 1: we talking just about money and what's gonna happen next?

639
00:33:52,560 --> 00:33:54,760
Speaker 1: Is like this could be one of the most memorable

640
00:33:54,880 --> 00:33:57,160
Speaker 1: things he ever does on this planet Earth is go

641
00:33:57,720 --> 00:34:00,280
Speaker 1: bring the Lions to the playoffs and that that's why

642
00:34:00,360 --> 00:34:02,920
Speaker 1: you you play the sport. He can be like an

643
00:34:02,920 --> 00:34:05,560
Speaker 1: all timer And even if nothing happens after this year

644
00:34:05,600 --> 00:34:07,360
Speaker 1: and they do take a rookie, that alone would be

645
00:34:07,400 --> 00:34:10,120
Speaker 1: a not that clothing line of his in Detroit. I

646
00:34:10,160 --> 00:34:12,879
Speaker 1: mean everything he does right now is working out. Yes,

647
00:34:12,960 --> 00:34:15,000
Speaker 1: I think he already has earned the right to sit

648
00:34:15,080 --> 00:34:19,600
Speaker 1: down at the nicest steakhouse in Detroit and pour a

649
00:34:19,640 --> 00:34:21,680
Speaker 1: big glass of water and then support all over that

650
00:34:21,800 --> 00:34:27,160
Speaker 1: steak and sa water jumped on it. It's really really good. Yeah,

651
00:34:27,280 --> 00:34:30,879
Speaker 1: Like he deserves that already, and what I'm gonna do is, um,

652
00:34:31,160 --> 00:34:33,440
Speaker 1: I think there's some half measures involved here with Greg's

653
00:34:33,480 --> 00:34:36,439
Speaker 1: take on this. If I was Brad Holmes the gym,

654
00:34:36,960 --> 00:34:40,560
Speaker 1: I'm saying, screw this. I am keeping Jared Goff. I'm

655
00:34:40,600 --> 00:34:44,000
Speaker 1: picking up the option on his contract. But there's no option.

656
00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:46,759
Speaker 1: They haven't out. They haven't out after this year. It's

657
00:34:46,760 --> 00:34:48,359
Speaker 1: not an option, but they haven't out. They can get

658
00:34:48,440 --> 00:34:51,280
Speaker 1: out of the deal. I'm I'm sticking with Jared Goff,

659
00:34:51,840 --> 00:34:54,520
Speaker 1: and I am selling that draft pick, and I am

660
00:34:54,960 --> 00:34:58,040
Speaker 1: building at roster. I'm not even taking a quarterback unless

661
00:34:58,040 --> 00:35:00,520
Speaker 1: you're absolutely in love with, like a that you think

662
00:35:00,560 --> 00:35:03,759
Speaker 1: could be Trevor Lawrence or something. Just go for it

663
00:35:04,080 --> 00:35:07,719
Speaker 1: and give golf. That's giving golf his I just think, like,

664
00:35:07,800 --> 00:35:09,360
Speaker 1: the one thing we know about golf is that offense

665
00:35:09,400 --> 00:35:11,360
Speaker 1: has changed year to year, and if golf has suddenly

666
00:35:11,440 --> 00:35:13,600
Speaker 1: put in an environment that's not great for golf, you

667
00:35:13,600 --> 00:35:15,520
Speaker 1: will be the guy they're talking about on Sports Talk

668
00:35:15,960 --> 00:35:20,400
Speaker 1: environment great by continuing to that's the obvious, obviously what

669
00:35:20,520 --> 00:35:22,560
Speaker 1: you'd want to do, but you would be you would

670
00:35:22,600 --> 00:35:25,720
Speaker 1: be the guy historically that passed on filling the blank

671
00:35:25,840 --> 00:35:28,680
Speaker 1: draft guy that blew up and became Josh Allen or

672
00:35:28,719 --> 00:35:31,480
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes because you wanted Jared Goff after he won

673
00:35:31,600 --> 00:35:34,120
Speaker 1: one playoff game, trying to have my slappy steaks to

674
00:35:34,200 --> 00:35:36,840
Speaker 1: need him to you know, I wanna, I want to

675
00:35:36,880 --> 00:35:40,760
Speaker 1: get the like he's in the running four comeback Player

676
00:35:40,760 --> 00:35:42,560
Speaker 1: of the Year too. I just don't know what Jared

677
00:35:42,600 --> 00:35:45,400
Speaker 1: Goff has to do to prove to you people that

678
00:35:45,800 --> 00:35:48,560
Speaker 1: he should be the future in Detroit at this point, Well,

679
00:35:48,640 --> 00:35:50,600
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield want a playoff game, and look where you

680
00:35:50,640 --> 00:35:52,520
Speaker 1: are a couple of years later. Just changes so quickly.

681
00:35:52,640 --> 00:35:55,080
Speaker 1: I think he's Peter Schregar made a good point about golf.

682
00:35:55,239 --> 00:35:57,880
Speaker 1: I believe on g MFB that he's also shown that

683
00:35:57,960 --> 00:36:00,960
Speaker 1: he's a he's tough minded golf like he was kind

684
00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:03,920
Speaker 1: of viewed as a bust early in his career. He

685
00:36:04,040 --> 00:36:06,320
Speaker 1: came on and became a star for the Rams, and

686
00:36:06,400 --> 00:36:08,000
Speaker 1: then was written off as it has been by the

687
00:36:08,080 --> 00:36:09,960
Speaker 1: time he got to Detroit, and and here he is again.

688
00:36:10,400 --> 00:36:12,440
Speaker 1: I think sometimes people just see Jared Goff and they're

689
00:36:12,480 --> 00:36:21,759
Speaker 1: just like, there's a lot of this Alex Smith, Yes Smith,

690
00:36:21,920 --> 00:36:24,160
Speaker 1: but he is he's not this, He's not he's not

691
00:36:24,360 --> 00:36:26,360
Speaker 1: up all the way up here, but don't pass on

692
00:36:26,440 --> 00:36:29,080
Speaker 1: your mahomes. If if if you have the number three

693
00:36:29,160 --> 00:36:31,839
Speaker 1: overall pick and you and there's it falls the right

694
00:36:31,880 --> 00:36:33,560
Speaker 1: to you, and you'll think, let me just couch it

695
00:36:33,600 --> 00:36:35,799
Speaker 1: a little bit. If there's a guy you're sure about,

696
00:36:35,840 --> 00:36:39,040
Speaker 1: a quarterback, if you're absolutely in love with somebody who

697
00:36:39,160 --> 00:36:42,279
Speaker 1: you think is a superstar, go ahead and get him.

698
00:36:42,480 --> 00:36:44,880
Speaker 1: Otherwise think hard, and then you might be wrong. He

699
00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:46,719
Speaker 1: might be turned out to Zack Wilson, and then you

700
00:36:46,800 --> 00:36:50,360
Speaker 1: still have Jared Goff just chilling there who needs coaches

701
00:36:50,440 --> 00:36:53,040
Speaker 1: you know exactly. But in that case, then you you

702
00:36:53,160 --> 00:36:55,000
Speaker 1: burn the draft pick. Like how great would the Jets

703
00:36:55,040 --> 00:36:57,080
Speaker 1: be if they use that number two pick and got

704
00:36:57,160 --> 00:36:59,320
Speaker 1: better on the team rather than take a gamble on

705
00:36:59,400 --> 00:37:01,759
Speaker 1: a guy that you know he's making their decision really

706
00:37:01,800 --> 00:37:04,120
Speaker 1: difficult right now. If it continues to play this way,

707
00:37:04,360 --> 00:37:06,120
Speaker 1: it'll get worse. What kind of stakes do we have?

708
00:37:06,280 --> 00:37:09,000
Speaker 1: What kind of spelling are you using? Mark for that

709
00:37:09,160 --> 00:37:11,400
Speaker 1: last one that we just do well? I think the

710
00:37:11,440 --> 00:37:15,640
Speaker 1: stakes are quite high for this individual, a former comeback

711
00:37:15,680 --> 00:37:19,200
Speaker 1: player of the Year. I think stakes st e A

712
00:37:19,400 --> 00:37:23,000
Speaker 1: K S sizzling for this person's future, Like the future

713
00:37:23,040 --> 00:37:27,280
Speaker 1: of this individual. They're human future. Here he comes around

714
00:37:27,320 --> 00:37:31,960
Speaker 1: the bend our old friend, Ryan Tannehill. Ryan Tannehill is

715
00:37:32,000 --> 00:37:36,040
Speaker 1: sitting in Tennessee this in this situation, former comeback player

716
00:37:36,040 --> 00:37:38,160
Speaker 1: of the Year, stuck in an offense with a bare

717
00:37:38,239 --> 00:37:41,800
Speaker 1: bone cupboard, a GM that just got canned, an owner

718
00:37:41,880 --> 00:37:44,000
Speaker 1: that said publicly this week, I don't like the way

719
00:37:44,080 --> 00:37:47,760
Speaker 1: this roster is constructed. Ryan Tannell has not Josh Allen.

720
00:37:47,800 --> 00:37:50,480
Speaker 1: He's not a Patrick mahomes Um. I think he's an

721
00:37:50,480 --> 00:37:52,800
Speaker 1: acquired taste. I think Greg and I like Ryan Tannehill

722
00:37:52,880 --> 00:37:56,200
Speaker 1: more than the average person. Maybe, but he lines up

723
00:37:56,239 --> 00:37:59,160
Speaker 1: to me as a person with zero guaranteed money after

724
00:37:59,280 --> 00:38:02,880
Speaker 1: this season and an appropriate fall guy when you've drafted

725
00:38:02,920 --> 00:38:06,200
Speaker 1: the league. Willis And it's possible that if you look

726
00:38:06,239 --> 00:38:08,440
Speaker 1: at the last time Tom Brady was out on the market,

727
00:38:08,960 --> 00:38:12,759
Speaker 1: that Mike Rabel with Patriots connections could maybe be a

728
00:38:12,840 --> 00:38:15,920
Speaker 1: team that could lure tom Brady in. Um, maybe they

729
00:38:15,960 --> 00:38:18,560
Speaker 1: could trade for someone out there. And then just Ryan

730
00:38:18,640 --> 00:38:21,719
Speaker 1: Tannehill's career is back in another dimension where he's got

731
00:38:21,840 --> 00:38:24,520
Speaker 1: to start all over. I just think that Ryan Tannehill

732
00:38:24,600 --> 00:38:27,759
Speaker 1: because I just find this the true underdog quarterback that

733
00:38:27,960 --> 00:38:30,720
Speaker 1: is never really viewed for how valuable he's been in Tennessee.

734
00:38:31,160 --> 00:38:33,600
Speaker 1: That if this team that is in a free fall

735
00:38:33,719 --> 00:38:36,040
Speaker 1: right now, you've got four weeks to become the guy

736
00:38:36,600 --> 00:38:39,160
Speaker 1: that turns it around, and we forget about this slump

737
00:38:39,239 --> 00:38:41,399
Speaker 1: and we look at Ryan Tannehill once again as someone

738
00:38:41,440 --> 00:38:44,399
Speaker 1: that can come in save an offense, and it's all about,

739
00:38:44,560 --> 00:38:47,920
Speaker 1: let's keep Ryan Tannehill, let's pay them again, or the

740
00:38:48,000 --> 00:38:50,880
Speaker 1: get fixed the guaranteed money situation and put an offense

741
00:38:50,880 --> 00:38:53,000
Speaker 1: around him because he hasn't had that. How many good

742
00:38:53,080 --> 00:38:55,120
Speaker 1: quarterbacks have so little around them right now with the

743
00:38:55,160 --> 00:38:57,719
Speaker 1: record they have minus the last couple of weeks and

744
00:38:58,080 --> 00:39:00,680
Speaker 1: a team that I think he fits so well and

745
00:39:00,760 --> 00:39:03,279
Speaker 1: they love him. And if or or the whole thing

746
00:39:03,360 --> 00:39:05,520
Speaker 1: goes south and he's looking for a job elsewhere, maybe

747
00:39:05,560 --> 00:39:09,920
Speaker 1: he becomes Arthur Smith's Falcons quarterback. I would be shaken

748
00:39:10,120 --> 00:39:11,960
Speaker 1: and and I'm already a little bit shaken. And what's

749
00:39:12,000 --> 00:39:15,200
Speaker 1: going on over there in Nashville? Uh grave digger. But

750
00:39:15,640 --> 00:39:18,280
Speaker 1: if they took A J. Brown off the roster, didn't

751
00:39:18,360 --> 00:39:21,160
Speaker 1: truly replace him with anyone, and then blame the quarterback

752
00:39:21,200 --> 00:39:22,880
Speaker 1: after the season was over and get him out of time.

753
00:39:22,880 --> 00:39:24,839
Speaker 1: I could see them gutting the roster though, and Ryan

754
00:39:24,880 --> 00:39:29,239
Speaker 1: Tannehill is not pay Ryan Tannehill. They could trade, well,

755
00:39:29,320 --> 00:39:32,400
Speaker 1: he's under contract. I like his contract. It's weird that

756
00:39:32,840 --> 00:39:35,480
Speaker 1: people think, like, oh, that's a lot for Ryan Tannell.

757
00:39:35,480 --> 00:39:38,360
Speaker 1: Twenty seven million dollars is great for a starting quarterback.

758
00:39:38,400 --> 00:39:39,879
Speaker 1: At this point, the cap has gone up so much

759
00:39:40,560 --> 00:39:43,360
Speaker 1: he you could get a draft pick for Ryan Tannehill

760
00:39:43,520 --> 00:39:46,960
Speaker 1: in a trade. The thing the thing about his contract

761
00:39:47,080 --> 00:39:49,520
Speaker 1: is the cap hit this year is super high because

762
00:39:49,560 --> 00:39:52,560
Speaker 1: they converted last year's guarantees and pushed him onto this year.

763
00:39:52,880 --> 00:39:55,160
Speaker 1: But next year his contract gets a lot more manageable,

764
00:39:55,280 --> 00:39:57,760
Speaker 1: so it's the last year of his country. He's sneaky

765
00:39:57,840 --> 00:39:59,560
Speaker 1: thirty five though he was kind of old when he

766
00:39:59,640 --> 00:40:01,759
Speaker 1: came in league. And he's thirty five. He's about to

767
00:40:01,800 --> 00:40:04,040
Speaker 1: be next year. Sorry, he'll be thirty five. I would

768
00:40:04,040 --> 00:40:06,480
Speaker 1: trade Derrick Henry if he had value before I would

769
00:40:06,480 --> 00:40:08,320
Speaker 1: trade Ryan Tannell. There's a lot of Titans fans that

770
00:40:08,360 --> 00:40:10,520
Speaker 1: are saying that Titans should have traded Henry around Week

771
00:40:10,560 --> 00:40:15,640
Speaker 1: eight this year right now, but I understand like the

772
00:40:15,719 --> 00:40:19,320
Speaker 1: idea like spinning forward as an organization how many truly

773
00:40:19,360 --> 00:40:21,600
Speaker 1: elite years does he have left? Do you even count?

774
00:40:21,680 --> 00:40:24,040
Speaker 1: This is an elite year where Henry. I think it

775
00:40:24,080 --> 00:40:26,480
Speaker 1: also depends, like, does Malik Willis show enough that you

776
00:40:26,560 --> 00:40:29,239
Speaker 1: feel comfortable moving on from Tannehill? Or can you get

777
00:40:29,320 --> 00:40:31,080
Speaker 1: a Tom Brady and do you want him at this

778
00:40:31,160 --> 00:40:33,200
Speaker 1: stage of his career. I don't think it can be

779
00:40:34,160 --> 00:40:36,719
Speaker 1: because I think he seemed super raw and shaking. It's

780
00:40:36,760 --> 00:40:39,200
Speaker 1: like a nice project. But I do think that if

781
00:40:39,280 --> 00:40:41,440
Speaker 1: someone like Tom Brady and they were like, look at

782
00:40:41,480 --> 00:40:43,120
Speaker 1: we've got we're gonna we got a new GM, a

783
00:40:43,200 --> 00:40:45,480
Speaker 1: coach you you're aligned with, maybe Tom Brady already got

784
00:40:45,480 --> 00:40:47,440
Speaker 1: there and said I don't like that GM, get this

785
00:40:47,560 --> 00:40:49,680
Speaker 1: guy instead, And maybe I do like Rabel. I'll come

786
00:40:49,760 --> 00:40:51,680
Speaker 1: do all this and get some pieces in place that

787
00:40:51,760 --> 00:40:54,120
Speaker 1: I like. It's just like he was slightly connected to

788
00:40:54,280 --> 00:40:56,680
Speaker 1: Rabel last time he was out there. Do you have

789
00:40:57,200 --> 00:40:59,640
Speaker 1: eight o'clock to light? You want to do some speedy steaks?

790
00:41:00,680 --> 00:41:03,560
Speaker 1: Donald Stakes, like throw him in that microwave there, Alright,

791
00:41:04,200 --> 00:41:08,000
Speaker 1: we gotta get it in under time. Go ahead, Greg alright,

792
00:41:08,080 --> 00:41:12,279
Speaker 1: se Kwan Berkley, free agent to be had his big

793
00:41:12,360 --> 00:41:14,719
Speaker 1: comeback year. Can he stay healthy? Can he make it

794
00:41:14,800 --> 00:41:17,239
Speaker 1: through a year? Can he carry this giant's team? Very good?

795
00:41:17,320 --> 00:41:20,560
Speaker 1: Stakes are high there. Let's see the old jewser Oh no,

796
00:41:20,680 --> 00:41:25,160
Speaker 1: I wasn't ready and I'm banging us my god. Um Oh,

797
00:41:25,600 --> 00:41:28,400
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield, he went from a punch line to a

798
00:41:28,520 --> 00:41:31,719
Speaker 1: momentary hero. Can he keep it going and build his

799
00:41:31,880 --> 00:41:36,480
Speaker 1: stakes even higher for next season? Mark all right, I

800
00:41:36,600 --> 00:41:39,239
Speaker 1: have turned pro Mike McCarthy. I think he's done a

801
00:41:39,320 --> 00:41:42,279
Speaker 1: great job. Congratulate this season. I don't see him as

802
00:41:42,280 --> 00:41:43,839
Speaker 1: a zaddy on any level like you do. I think

803
00:41:43,880 --> 00:41:46,239
Speaker 1: it's a great coach. Credit to him. He's got a

804
00:41:46,280 --> 00:41:48,800
Speaker 1: titanic offense. There's really no excuses for that. Now, go

805
00:41:48,920 --> 00:41:51,279
Speaker 1: to go win playoff games and you've got that. I

806
00:41:51,320 --> 00:41:53,200
Speaker 1: saw the look on his face when they were losing

807
00:41:53,280 --> 00:41:55,560
Speaker 1: the Texans, like he was sucking on a lemon. I

808
00:41:55,640 --> 00:41:57,320
Speaker 1: don't want to see that at the end of a

809
00:41:57,440 --> 00:42:00,279
Speaker 1: week eighteen or the week after, with Sean Payton hanging

810
00:42:00,280 --> 00:42:02,719
Speaker 1: out there in the atmosphere and Mike McCarthy becoming an

811
00:42:02,800 --> 00:42:05,640
Speaker 1: unfair fall guy. They got to keep him around. What happened,

812
00:42:05,680 --> 00:42:07,400
Speaker 1: he said, a titanic offense. You know what happened to

813
00:42:07,440 --> 00:42:11,239
Speaker 1: the Titanic, it sunk, finally became a movie that made

814
00:42:11,239 --> 00:42:13,040
Speaker 1: a ton of money. So there's always a nice thing

815
00:42:13,080 --> 00:42:16,520
Speaker 1: that can happen from those things. Bubble coaches Steve Wilkes,

816
00:42:16,800 --> 00:42:19,960
Speaker 1: Brandon Staley, Dennis Allen, Lovey Smith. I'm not even bringing

817
00:42:20,000 --> 00:42:23,400
Speaker 1: up in Navaniel Hackecks. I think he's done. Um. All

818
00:42:23,480 --> 00:42:27,240
Speaker 1: those guys can't collapse. Their team has to finish strong

819
00:42:27,440 --> 00:42:29,759
Speaker 1: or I think they're vulnerable. I throw Ron Rivera in

820
00:42:29,800 --> 00:42:33,279
Speaker 1: there just because the ownership is changing. I think you

821
00:42:33,360 --> 00:42:38,160
Speaker 1: got it onto the well, nailed it. That was good. Yeah,

822
00:42:39,160 --> 00:42:43,279
Speaker 1: Yet I got Drew, you know, Big seven seven Drew

823
00:42:43,960 --> 00:42:47,239
Speaker 1: with the mask on the cap on getting into my

824
00:42:48,000 --> 00:42:50,880
Speaker 1: I AM message, like, you guys are sixteen minutes in

825
00:42:51,640 --> 00:42:53,920
Speaker 1: on the seg throwing it too Mark, you want to

826
00:42:54,000 --> 00:42:56,200
Speaker 1: just skip the segre And I said, no, you didn't

827
00:42:56,239 --> 00:43:00,120
Speaker 1: know about this sizzling steaks and how the stakes can

828
00:43:00,200 --> 00:43:02,800
Speaker 1: be stakes in a second we did how many seconds?

829
00:43:02,920 --> 00:43:05,440
Speaker 1: Drew wanted to cancel my part of the segment. He

830
00:43:05,520 --> 00:43:07,560
Speaker 1: wanted He's like, let's wrap up the Mark thing and

831
00:43:07,640 --> 00:43:13,399
Speaker 1: get out of the segment. Do Speedy come? What an

832
00:43:13,400 --> 00:43:18,640
Speaker 1: absurd concept by you? He refuses to speak it's a

833
00:43:18,760 --> 00:43:23,319
Speaker 1: clever move. Actually it makes him more mysterious. Camera. Can

834
00:43:23,400 --> 00:43:27,480
Speaker 1: we at least give people watching on YouTube and surrounding territories.

835
00:43:28,520 --> 00:43:32,439
Speaker 1: I would like to also get a time code. Let's

836
00:43:32,440 --> 00:43:34,279
Speaker 1: get a time code on how long each of our

837
00:43:34,400 --> 00:43:37,719
Speaker 1: segments inter segments were inside the segment itself? True? Can

838
00:43:37,760 --> 00:43:41,719
Speaker 1: we can you at least turn into the camera his

839
00:43:41,840 --> 00:43:44,640
Speaker 1: head shakings not bury the lead here. Mark wants to

840
00:43:44,719 --> 00:43:47,839
Speaker 1: start individually keeping track of each part of our mini

841
00:43:47,960 --> 00:43:51,239
Speaker 1: parts in this way, in this one particular case, it's

842
00:43:51,239 --> 00:43:54,560
Speaker 1: like wrap it up, wrap it up on your previous

843
00:43:54,640 --> 00:43:56,879
Speaker 1: interactions with producers, though, Mark, I would think you would

844
00:43:56,920 --> 00:43:59,759
Speaker 1: love a producer that refuses to be on Mike. I mean,

845
00:43:59,800 --> 00:44:01,840
Speaker 1: if you famously want to keep them in the shadows.

846
00:44:03,040 --> 00:44:05,279
Speaker 1: I like, I liken joining some of them, to talk

847
00:44:05,320 --> 00:44:07,520
Speaker 1: with some of them, but have been great. Drew is

848
00:44:07,640 --> 00:44:10,960
Speaker 1: going the Wilson from Home Improvement d He's like, I'm

849
00:44:11,000 --> 00:44:13,600
Speaker 1: on the other side of the fence. You'll never see me,

850
00:44:14,320 --> 00:44:20,239
Speaker 1: you'll hear me, but maybe in a different way. It's perfect. Great,

851
00:44:20,480 --> 00:44:23,680
Speaker 1: let's take a break and then it all paid off.

852
00:44:23,719 --> 00:44:25,880
Speaker 1: I'll take a break and hit the Thursday night preview.

853
00:44:28,200 --> 00:44:33,480
Speaker 1: Are you ready? It's a Saturday triple header only on

854
00:44:33,719 --> 00:44:37,400
Speaker 1: NFL Network. Just the first the Colts battled the Biking,

855
00:44:39,480 --> 00:44:44,600
Speaker 1: then the Ravens space the Browns, and the Dolphins take

856
00:44:44,640 --> 00:44:49,560
Speaker 1: on the Bills in prime time. Back to back to black.

857
00:44:51,960 --> 00:44:55,640
Speaker 1: It's a Saturday Showdown triple header Saturday, starting at one,

858
00:44:55,840 --> 00:45:01,239
Speaker 1: only on NFL Network. All right, welcome back. It is

859
00:45:01,280 --> 00:45:03,879
Speaker 1: time now for the t NF Preview, presented by Prime Video,

860
00:45:04,000 --> 00:45:07,640
Speaker 1: the new exclusive home for Thursday Night football. Love it

861
00:45:07,840 --> 00:45:11,720
Speaker 1: good one, real good, real good. What did Al Michael's

862
00:45:11,719 --> 00:45:13,560
Speaker 1: call some of the games this year leaky on the

863
00:45:13,680 --> 00:45:17,359
Speaker 1: Thursday night schedule. This one is not leaky. In fact,

864
00:45:17,440 --> 00:45:19,200
Speaker 1: it's one of my favorite games of the week. The

865
00:45:19,280 --> 00:45:22,320
Speaker 1: Seattle Seahawks. They need it, they need to win. They're

866
00:45:22,360 --> 00:45:25,640
Speaker 1: watching their postseason hope slide away. And who is coming

867
00:45:25,760 --> 00:45:30,200
Speaker 1: into their building? The rampaging San Francisco forty Niners with

868
00:45:30,360 --> 00:45:32,560
Speaker 1: rock party at nine and four with a chance to

869
00:45:32,680 --> 00:45:36,040
Speaker 1: put on a T shirt and a hat in Seattle.

870
00:45:37,000 --> 00:45:41,160
Speaker 1: Gotta love it, Gotta love it. High steaks here as well. Well,

871
00:45:41,200 --> 00:45:46,399
Speaker 1: How rare is it that there's a rare steak that's

872
00:45:46,480 --> 00:45:49,120
Speaker 1: my corner? Like a rare steak, I'll get a medium

873
00:45:49,200 --> 00:45:52,239
Speaker 1: are sometimes when it's like a little blue well, now

874
00:45:52,360 --> 00:45:57,240
Speaker 1: you're basically a savage. That the way it was actually

875
00:45:57,280 --> 00:45:59,400
Speaker 1: just in my mind conjuring the image, because I do

876
00:45:59,560 --> 00:46:02,480
Speaker 1: know what you're talking about. Nuts, you're a feral animal,

877
00:46:02,760 --> 00:46:04,880
Speaker 1: like a mountain lion in Griffith Park that just found

878
00:46:04,920 --> 00:46:12,200
Speaker 1: like a buck. Go ahead the thing with a rare steak,

879
00:46:12,239 --> 00:46:14,640
Speaker 1: though it's got to be like weirdly, it's almost more

880
00:46:14,640 --> 00:46:17,319
Speaker 1: important that it's well cooked. So it's like when you're

881
00:46:17,400 --> 00:46:21,279
Speaker 1: counting on, you're counting on precision, good nugget, you really

882
00:46:21,280 --> 00:46:24,480
Speaker 1: counting on. All right, that wraps up another edition of

883
00:46:24,520 --> 00:46:27,880
Speaker 1: Around the NFL. We'll be back on. So it's so

884
00:46:28,080 --> 00:46:31,719
Speaker 1: strange that the forty Niners can clinch the division on

885
00:46:31,880 --> 00:46:33,960
Speaker 1: Thursday night. It feels like there's so much left of

886
00:46:34,000 --> 00:46:36,520
Speaker 1: the season four weeks and yet if the Seahawks win

887
00:46:36,600 --> 00:46:39,320
Speaker 1: this game, they're like right in this division race. Like

888
00:46:39,400 --> 00:46:43,040
Speaker 1: it's as massive as a Week fifteen game can be.

889
00:46:43,280 --> 00:46:46,560
Speaker 1: And everything is trending against Seattle right now. Not only

890
00:46:46,600 --> 00:46:50,640
Speaker 1: are they two games back over the last four weeks.

891
00:46:50,680 --> 00:46:52,560
Speaker 1: And this is why I think Gino probably hasn't hurt

892
00:46:52,600 --> 00:46:55,120
Speaker 1: himself that much. If you just when you watch them

893
00:46:55,800 --> 00:46:58,840
Speaker 1: last four weeks or five weeks. Rather, according to Football Tiders,

894
00:46:58,880 --> 00:47:01,560
Speaker 1: they are dead last and rushing in the NFL. They're

895
00:47:01,600 --> 00:47:03,319
Speaker 1: the worst running team in the league. Maybe they get

896
00:47:03,400 --> 00:47:06,000
Speaker 1: Kenneth Walker back for this game. They are twenty nine

897
00:47:06,080 --> 00:47:08,840
Speaker 1: in defense, so we're right back to September when they

898
00:47:08,880 --> 00:47:11,120
Speaker 1: were one of the worst defense in league. Within that

899
00:47:11,280 --> 00:47:14,719
Speaker 1: their thirty one in the league defending the run. Over

900
00:47:14,800 --> 00:47:17,239
Speaker 1: that those last uh four or five games, and you

901
00:47:17,320 --> 00:47:20,960
Speaker 1: gotta play against San Francisco, who, finally this season and

902
00:47:21,520 --> 00:47:24,640
Speaker 1: it's been coming, is starting to look like the running team.

903
00:47:24,719 --> 00:47:27,640
Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan wants to rack up over two hundred yards

904
00:47:27,680 --> 00:47:30,520
Speaker 1: on the ground against a good Bucks run defense. With

905
00:47:30,680 --> 00:47:33,640
Speaker 1: cmc resting the last twenty eight minutes of that game,

906
00:47:33,760 --> 00:47:35,880
Speaker 1: it's a bit of a nightmare for the Sea. I

907
00:47:35,920 --> 00:47:38,880
Speaker 1: thought getting a chance to rest so many Niners players

908
00:47:39,360 --> 00:47:41,719
Speaker 1: was massive with it being Thursday night, and you are

909
00:47:41,800 --> 00:47:44,040
Speaker 1: You're right. The Seahawks have allowed two hundred plus on

910
00:47:44,080 --> 00:47:46,200
Speaker 1: the ground average over the last four weeks. I think

911
00:47:46,239 --> 00:47:48,920
Speaker 1: that's where you point to, like, why hasn't Gino been

912
00:47:49,000 --> 00:47:50,759
Speaker 1: as well supported and why is he had some of

913
00:47:50,840 --> 00:47:53,200
Speaker 1: these fource plays. It's like, well, it's they're not. They

914
00:47:53,239 --> 00:47:55,320
Speaker 1: don't have the Kenneth Walker blowing up the scene like

915
00:47:55,400 --> 00:47:57,600
Speaker 1: they were earlier in the year. And the Niners on

916
00:47:57,719 --> 00:48:00,279
Speaker 1: defense are gonna make it as tough as possible. Since

917
00:48:00,400 --> 00:48:02,560
Speaker 1: that game, which feels so long ago, when they were

918
00:48:02,640 --> 00:48:05,719
Speaker 1: blown up by the Chiefs, they have allowed in individual

919
00:48:05,840 --> 00:48:12,040
Speaker 1: games fourteen sixteen, ten, zero, seventeen and seven points. They

920
00:48:12,120 --> 00:48:15,880
Speaker 1: are the best defense in football right now. And I

921
00:48:15,960 --> 00:48:18,880
Speaker 1: don't care if this is in Seattle or San Francisco.

922
00:48:20,120 --> 00:48:25,320
Speaker 1: Can I don't know absolutely, you know what in a

923
00:48:25,400 --> 00:48:28,160
Speaker 1: big spot it is. It is I on the fringe

924
00:48:28,280 --> 00:48:30,680
Speaker 1: of death in the in the law competition. So I'm

925
00:48:30,719 --> 00:48:32,160
Speaker 1: just gonna go with my heart on a lock in

926
00:48:32,200 --> 00:48:35,640
Speaker 1: the Niners all right now. Who haven't been done before

927
00:48:35,800 --> 00:48:38,000
Speaker 1: this early in the week. I've done a few Thursdays.

928
00:48:38,000 --> 00:48:44,680
Speaker 1: Because here's the case. Why Mark is gonna be sweat

929
00:48:44,719 --> 00:48:49,240
Speaker 1: and bullets on Thursday again, Thursday's weird. Thursday night is weird.

930
00:48:49,800 --> 00:48:54,400
Speaker 1: Uh Seattle, that building is gonna be hopping. Uh. Seattle

931
00:48:54,680 --> 00:48:56,799
Speaker 1: needs the game. And Pete Carroll is a good coach

932
00:48:56,840 --> 00:48:59,560
Speaker 1: and he's gonna have these guys ready to defend their

933
00:48:59,640 --> 00:49:03,360
Speaker 1: turf and make sure San Francisco isn't celebrating in their building,

934
00:49:03,840 --> 00:49:06,080
Speaker 1: And yes, there are concerns here. When you look at

935
00:49:06,120 --> 00:49:09,279
Speaker 1: the matchup itself, I totally agree. Um. I thought it

936
00:49:09,400 --> 00:49:12,440
Speaker 1: was a borderline disgrace, and I think it factors in

937
00:49:12,520 --> 00:49:14,520
Speaker 1: because it cost me a lock. But the way that

938
00:49:14,680 --> 00:49:18,240
Speaker 1: defense got man handled in the fourth quarter by Caroliners

939
00:49:18,440 --> 00:49:31,680
Speaker 1: Caroline is like it was like cadre cadre. He no, amotized. Yeah,

940
00:49:31,840 --> 00:49:40,960
Speaker 1: they've been amortized all season, she said, amortized, just atize.

941
00:49:42,080 --> 00:49:43,840
Speaker 1: Give her, Give her a break. She's been eating raw

942
00:49:43,920 --> 00:49:49,239
Speaker 1: meter entire life. She's worms inside her. Um, Christian McCaffrey

943
00:49:49,480 --> 00:49:52,480
Speaker 1: is gonna eat. And they're gonna use mccaffre to help

944
00:49:52,520 --> 00:49:55,440
Speaker 1: protect brock Purty and not ask him to do too much.

945
00:49:55,480 --> 00:49:58,239
Speaker 1: But you're still gonna be asking, uh, this kid to

946
00:49:58,360 --> 00:50:01,560
Speaker 1: make big throws in a very dificult environment. So well,

947
00:50:01,640 --> 00:50:03,360
Speaker 1: if I had to pick a side, I would obviously

948
00:50:03,400 --> 00:50:06,600
Speaker 1: say forty Niners. But this game, I feel like, with

949
00:50:06,680 --> 00:50:10,000
Speaker 1: all the various things up in the air in terms

950
00:50:10,040 --> 00:50:12,960
Speaker 1: of the matchup, in the sight of the matchup, and

951
00:50:13,000 --> 00:50:15,000
Speaker 1: then when it is in the week, I feel like

952
00:50:15,040 --> 00:50:16,799
Speaker 1: it's gonna go down, go down. To the very end.

953
00:50:16,960 --> 00:50:20,000
Speaker 1: One little, one little tiny out I'd have is if

954
00:50:20,080 --> 00:50:21,880
Speaker 1: we found out in the next two days that this

955
00:50:22,000 --> 00:50:24,680
Speaker 1: oblique injury for Purdy john him out and they put

956
00:50:24,800 --> 00:50:27,239
Speaker 1: Josh Johnson in there and locking that up. Okay, So

957
00:50:27,600 --> 00:50:29,600
Speaker 1: I'm glad you brought that up, because in general, I

958
00:50:29,640 --> 00:50:30,920
Speaker 1: feel like you shouldn't be able to get out of

959
00:50:30,920 --> 00:50:34,719
Speaker 1: the lock unless there's like a quarterback injury or something significant.

960
00:50:34,760 --> 00:50:36,920
Speaker 1: Just moving off a lock for the sake of it feels.

961
00:50:37,040 --> 00:50:38,680
Speaker 1: I also know a ton of people on on these

962
00:50:38,760 --> 00:50:41,000
Speaker 1: like there's these Reddit like people like, no, they shouldn't.

963
00:50:41,080 --> 00:50:42,600
Speaker 1: It's just it's like, I don't think we can do

964
00:50:42,640 --> 00:50:44,319
Speaker 1: whatever the heck we want. But that would be one

965
00:50:44,480 --> 00:50:48,200
Speaker 1: situation where it's suddenly Josh Johnson is starting. No logical

966
00:50:48,280 --> 00:50:50,920
Speaker 1: individual would lock that on the road in Seattle in

967
00:50:50,960 --> 00:50:54,439
Speaker 1: a must win game. But I think he's playing. Everything

968
00:50:54,480 --> 00:50:55,920
Speaker 1: we hear is that it was more they got good

969
00:50:55,960 --> 00:50:58,080
Speaker 1: news on it. They won't have Deebo Samuel. Of course

970
00:50:58,760 --> 00:51:06,120
Speaker 1: I don't care. Do we know that they're just hoping

971
00:51:06,200 --> 00:51:08,040
Speaker 1: he comes back by the end of the regular season.

972
00:51:08,160 --> 00:51:10,520
Speaker 1: So he's out multiple weeks. Yeah, so they're gonna need

973
00:51:10,880 --> 00:51:14,239
Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey to help step up. Thank I mean the

974
00:51:14,320 --> 00:51:16,560
Speaker 1: fact that they traded for him, brought him in that

975
00:51:16,760 --> 00:51:20,520
Speaker 1: helps them immensely. At this point without Deebo, they're gonna

976
00:51:20,560 --> 00:51:23,480
Speaker 1: need Jown Jennings to get more involved. They already used

977
00:51:23,560 --> 00:51:25,200
Speaker 1: him a lot on third down, but just at the

978
00:51:25,239 --> 00:51:28,520
Speaker 1: wide receiver position. And then the thing about brock Purty,

979
00:51:28,800 --> 00:51:31,840
Speaker 1: if he is good to go with the oblique and

980
00:51:31,840 --> 00:51:34,279
Speaker 1: the rib injury on a short week, it would be

981
00:51:34,360 --> 00:51:37,040
Speaker 1: great for him to start in this game at Seattle

982
00:51:37,239 --> 00:51:40,040
Speaker 1: in that atmosphere ahead of a playoff game like that

983
00:51:40,280 --> 00:51:42,880
Speaker 1: is a situation that you want to throw him in

984
00:51:43,120 --> 00:51:45,640
Speaker 1: and see how he reacts, because he looked really good

985
00:51:45,719 --> 00:51:47,480
Speaker 1: this week, but that's not how it's going to be

986
00:51:47,560 --> 00:51:50,759
Speaker 1: in the playoffs. He has shown so much though that

987
00:51:51,200 --> 00:51:53,120
Speaker 1: I don't think you can teach like. He has a

988
00:51:53,239 --> 00:51:56,520
Speaker 1: great feel of the pocket. We know his nickname in

989
00:51:56,600 --> 00:52:00,160
Speaker 1: the locker room that rhymes with brock and it's big,

990
00:52:00,560 --> 00:52:02,680
Speaker 1: and I saw a little bit of that. You haven't

991
00:52:02,680 --> 00:52:07,120
Speaker 1: heard that, no, no, but a lot of it. I

992
00:52:07,280 --> 00:52:10,080
Speaker 1: backed myself into a corner here when he is going

993
00:52:10,600 --> 00:52:13,080
Speaker 1: what have you done? Greg? Across the goal line on

994
00:52:13,239 --> 00:52:16,319
Speaker 1: his rushing touchdown, and he already starts like sticking out

995
00:52:16,400 --> 00:52:18,040
Speaker 1: the ball at the other thing, like he is a

996
00:52:18,360 --> 00:52:23,320
Speaker 1: very confident sticking out player, sticking out the football. You know,

997
00:52:23,440 --> 00:52:30,560
Speaker 1: he's declaring in there, very very confident. They're doing no

998
00:52:30,760 --> 00:52:33,800
Speaker 1: huddle like in his first start, Like he has shown

999
00:52:33,840 --> 00:52:37,480
Speaker 1: some real deal stuff as a quarterback. And the Seahawks

1000
00:52:37,520 --> 00:52:39,319
Speaker 1: are thirty first over the last month because they're bad

1001
00:52:39,320 --> 00:52:41,200
Speaker 1: at everything. They don't rush the passer well at all,

1002
00:52:41,320 --> 00:52:43,840
Speaker 1: and he'll have time to throw. Greg, you did a

1003
00:52:43,840 --> 00:52:46,080
Speaker 1: good job getting through that with Dan just chiding you

1004
00:52:46,200 --> 00:52:48,920
Speaker 1: the entire time and off in his own little childhood world.

1005
00:52:53,960 --> 00:52:56,320
Speaker 1: Uh No, Whenever you could lock up Mr ir Relevant

1006
00:52:56,320 --> 00:52:59,320
Speaker 1: on the road with on the Thursday night, you do it.

1007
00:52:59,440 --> 00:53:01,759
Speaker 1: So I think it's a good lot. Why not do

1008
00:53:02,000 --> 00:53:04,759
Speaker 1: something gutsy versus just mailing a six and a half

1009
00:53:04,840 --> 00:53:06,960
Speaker 1: point favorite or something. To me, this is not like

1010
00:53:07,280 --> 00:53:10,239
Speaker 1: like implications on the line too when I'm picking on you,

1011
00:53:10,360 --> 00:53:12,120
Speaker 1: But I think this is right in between, like they're

1012
00:53:12,160 --> 00:53:14,080
Speaker 1: a heavy favorite. It would be shocking in the way

1013
00:53:14,120 --> 00:53:17,800
Speaker 1: the seas are playing for me to I would we

1014
00:53:17,920 --> 00:53:22,279
Speaker 1: believe in you have to in the power rankings, like

1015
00:53:22,560 --> 00:53:24,560
Speaker 1: they are a much better team than the Seas. The

1016
00:53:24,600 --> 00:53:27,240
Speaker 1: only reason I wouldn't lock it is I like the Seas.

1017
00:53:27,280 --> 00:53:28,440
Speaker 1: I want to root for them. I'm not going to

1018
00:53:28,520 --> 00:53:30,200
Speaker 1: be rooting against it, but I'd be stunned if they

1019
00:53:30,239 --> 00:53:33,400
Speaker 1: won this game. I'm with you, Mark, I believe in

1020
00:53:33,480 --> 00:53:36,799
Speaker 1: your I think it's a great lock um. I don't

1021
00:53:36,800 --> 00:53:39,200
Speaker 1: make fix on the show, but I am taking you

1022
00:53:39,280 --> 00:53:42,399
Speaker 1: could take this particular lock once, right, just for fun.

1023
00:53:42,640 --> 00:53:45,520
Speaker 1: That might be bad for my record, my overall lo

1024
00:53:47,600 --> 00:53:52,480
Speaker 1: Actually I think I have, but it's been there's like

1025
00:53:52,520 --> 00:53:56,640
Speaker 1: a website Satty's. We'd have to have our own nickname too.

1026
00:53:56,680 --> 00:54:00,879
Speaker 1: I don't know what that the lockouts? What doesn't work

1027
00:54:00,960 --> 00:54:06,080
Speaker 1: for me? The ladies, the lackeys, another thing to workshop

1028
00:54:06,440 --> 00:54:09,640
Speaker 1: in real time? All right, what's my record? I don't know.

1029
00:54:09,719 --> 00:54:12,560
Speaker 1: It turns out that we don't have that data. I

1030
00:54:12,600 --> 00:54:17,359
Speaker 1: don't figure that's convenient. It's convenient, um, but I'm sure

1031
00:54:17,400 --> 00:54:21,359
Speaker 1: you were doing very well if it was tracked. Okay, well,

1032
00:54:21,600 --> 00:54:23,880
Speaker 1: go for it, you'll get it. Will only advance your record,

1033
00:54:24,520 --> 00:54:27,840
Speaker 1: you know what. But feeling that like you and I

1034
00:54:28,080 --> 00:54:31,920
Speaker 1: are on the same frequency today, so I will lock

1035
00:54:32,000 --> 00:54:35,160
Speaker 1: them up. Look at that? What are the stakes on that?

1036
00:54:36,360 --> 00:54:42,960
Speaker 1: Slop air, Yes, but I think you guys will come

1037
00:54:43,000 --> 00:54:45,960
Speaker 1: out of it. There's something about locking Thursday too. It's

1038
00:54:46,000 --> 00:54:48,279
Speaker 1: so nerve wracking. There's it's the only another thing about

1039
00:54:48,360 --> 00:54:51,160
Speaker 1: last week. Sitting on the couch, you know, Daddy pours

1040
00:54:51,200 --> 00:54:54,440
Speaker 1: a Tito's and I thought to myself, this is literally

1041
00:54:54,520 --> 00:54:57,200
Speaker 1: the only game all week where I just get to

1042
00:54:57,280 --> 00:55:00,080
Speaker 1: sit down and watch it and I don't have to

1043
00:55:00,120 --> 00:55:03,960
Speaker 1: go do a podcast after or work before. I'm just

1044
00:55:04,200 --> 00:55:06,640
Speaker 1: gonna watch this game. I don't need the stakes of

1045
00:55:06,680 --> 00:55:09,200
Speaker 1: a lock. You are right, I will say I locked

1046
00:55:09,360 --> 00:55:11,719
Speaker 1: a Thursday game a couple of weeks ago, and it

1047
00:55:11,920 --> 00:55:15,280
Speaker 1: was well in hand, and it wasn't It only added

1048
00:55:15,280 --> 00:55:17,200
Speaker 1: to that joyment, right, But what if it goes the

1049
00:55:17,280 --> 00:55:19,680
Speaker 1: other way? But it has gone the other way? But

1050
00:55:19,760 --> 00:55:23,080
Speaker 1: I am sitting in third place. Um, I have plenty

1051
00:55:23,120 --> 00:55:26,080
Speaker 1: of other things to be concerned about beyond the locked situation.

1052
00:55:26,200 --> 00:55:28,360
Speaker 1: This this pantomime of a game that we play, and

1053
00:55:28,400 --> 00:55:30,000
Speaker 1: if I were to ever lose on Thursday night, I

1054
00:55:30,040 --> 00:55:34,520
Speaker 1: would somehow survive the situation. Okay, you know, eat you

1055
00:55:34,560 --> 00:55:36,560
Speaker 1: up a little bit, though I already am in that

1056
00:55:37,160 --> 00:55:39,680
Speaker 1: I've been eaten up because I don't see myself winning

1057
00:55:39,719 --> 00:55:41,680
Speaker 1: this at this point. So now I'm doing wild things

1058
00:55:41,760 --> 00:55:43,600
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna do lock offs with people from here

1059
00:55:43,640 --> 00:55:46,319
Speaker 1: on out and try to like, I mean, you guys

1060
00:55:46,360 --> 00:55:50,600
Speaker 1: are acting like that this thing is over the trophy. Yeah,

1061
00:55:50,600 --> 00:55:53,120
Speaker 1: there's four weeks after the regular season. There's five weeks.

1062
00:55:53,320 --> 00:55:56,320
Speaker 1: There's literally nine weeks left. Yeah, we could do the

1063
00:55:56,360 --> 00:56:00,560
Speaker 1: ceremony right now. We want the trophy. She was, take

1064
00:56:00,600 --> 00:56:04,600
Speaker 1: it out of my foyer, sitting on the marble um presentation.

1065
00:56:06,200 --> 00:56:08,400
Speaker 1: You don't have to put something else Thereade, I mean,

1066
00:56:08,440 --> 00:56:12,160
Speaker 1: I'm familiar with it. I had it, so I know

1067
00:56:12,239 --> 00:56:16,520
Speaker 1: what it looks already. But it's time for you to

1068
00:56:16,560 --> 00:56:18,680
Speaker 1: have it again because it's over now. The trophies. Like,

1069
00:56:18,719 --> 00:56:23,080
Speaker 1: I'm back in this house. Nine nine weeks to go?

1070
00:56:23,360 --> 00:56:27,440
Speaker 1: Where's my marble presentation? Nine weeks? It's almost half the season.

1071
00:56:28,160 --> 00:56:31,799
Speaker 1: Can you imagine living with me? That's what they said.

1072
00:56:34,120 --> 00:56:37,640
Speaker 1: All right, there you go, let's pick the game. You

1073
00:56:37,719 --> 00:56:41,239
Speaker 1: guys will be happy. It will be No, let's go

1074
00:56:41,360 --> 00:56:44,680
Speaker 1: the other way. Let's get behind the Seahawks, keeping their

1075
00:56:44,719 --> 00:56:47,120
Speaker 1: season alive. Pardy gets brought down to earth a little bit.

1076
00:56:47,160 --> 00:56:53,600
Speaker 1: They'll still be okay. Just for fun, I thinks will win.

1077
00:56:53,920 --> 00:56:57,080
Speaker 1: I think they will cover. Does anyone know what what

1078
00:56:57,280 --> 00:56:59,040
Speaker 1: the line is on this game and a half? Three

1079
00:56:59,040 --> 00:57:00,960
Speaker 1: and a half, Yeah, I think I would definitely like

1080
00:57:01,080 --> 00:57:04,520
Speaker 1: the forty Niners there. I hope it doesn't happen, but

1081
00:57:05,040 --> 00:57:12,040
Speaker 1: I think the Seahawks three Niners thirty three. That would

1082
00:57:12,080 --> 00:57:14,640
Speaker 1: be pretty similar to the Week two game. It is

1083
00:57:15,080 --> 00:57:20,400
Speaker 1: stuck in my mind that three the Seahawks offense did

1084
00:57:20,480 --> 00:57:24,000
Speaker 1: not score a point against the forty Niners in Week two.

1085
00:57:24,160 --> 00:57:26,680
Speaker 1: And then there's a different though I get it, but

1086
00:57:27,080 --> 00:57:28,920
Speaker 1: that was this seat. He didn't play that bad. That

1087
00:57:29,000 --> 00:57:33,360
Speaker 1: was seven to seven though. Uh they So you are

1088
00:57:33,400 --> 00:57:36,800
Speaker 1: writing and he's not planning to write you back. It's

1089
00:57:36,840 --> 00:57:38,960
Speaker 1: more about I don't know him not. But I think

1090
00:57:39,000 --> 00:57:41,600
Speaker 1: this is like like Tom Brady, I'm not writing tom

1091
00:57:41,640 --> 00:57:44,520
Speaker 1: Brady off. I'm not entirely writing too off either. They

1092
00:57:44,560 --> 00:57:47,600
Speaker 1: were demolished by the Stephen Seahawks score three points in

1093
00:57:47,680 --> 00:57:50,040
Speaker 1: their building with their season kind of on the line here,

1094
00:57:51,000 --> 00:57:53,360
Speaker 1: that's that's gonna be an indictment of the entire operation.

1095
00:57:53,480 --> 00:57:55,120
Speaker 1: So they need to step up in this. It would

1096
00:57:55,160 --> 00:57:58,480
Speaker 1: be alright, as they say, that's the good stuff, and

1097
00:57:58,560 --> 00:58:01,080
Speaker 1: that was the t NF Preview Present did by Prime Video.

1102
00:58:13,360 --> 00:58:16,240
