Wow, great blocking. 5 00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:40,120 Speaker 1: And once he's got that speed turned on, then there's 6 00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:49,199 Speaker 1: no way that Marcus Williams is going to get him. 7 00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:52,920 Speaker 1: Welcome to good runing football?

We love DQ. Mari's back from COVID, CD's 35 00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:14,839 Speaker 1: back from concussion. Let's see this Cowboys offense. CD looked 36 00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:19,200 Speaker 1: great to look like a superstar. And there's more CD 37 00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:22,880 Speaker 1: gap through the air, Tony Pollard gasp for days. They're 38 00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:25,120 Speaker 1: up nineteen and tell you DQ. Yeah, all right to 39 00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:27,119 Speaker 1: Taysom doing everything you can six and a half leap, 40 00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:32,760 Speaker 1: it's deflected, it's interception hazy. So that's the game, Taysom 41 00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:37,520 Speaker 1: ded throw four interceptions. But we also love to says 42 00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:40,840 Speaker 1: twenty seven seven have played that. Well, I know we 43 00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:43,920 Speaker 1: really did. Mike bring that up. Um, We're gonna go 44 00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:46,519 Speaker 1: now to the seven eight sound, which is Dak Prescott 45 00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:49,840 Speaker 1: talking about all that adversity for number four and the Cowboys. 46 00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:52,600 Speaker 1: I mean, the wins win, it means a lot. Uh, 47 00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:55,160 Speaker 1: as you just said. The adversity we've we've had, we faced, 48 00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:57,520 Speaker 1: um coming off the last two weeks and then coming 49 00:02:57,520 --> 00:02:59,120 Speaker 1: in this week and just being hit with the COVID, 50 00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:01,040 Speaker 1: losing the head coach this week, and just I mean 51 00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:04,359 Speaker 1: so many people stepped up. Credit to Dan Quinn, the coordinators, 52 00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:06,760 Speaker 1: all the leaders on this team of doing what was 53 00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:08,640 Speaker 1: necessary to be ready for this game and then just 54 00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:10,919 Speaker 1: throw the ups and this up and down in this game. 55 00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:12,880 Speaker 1: I'm playing compliment in football when we weren't doing our 56 00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:15,680 Speaker 1: job on offense defense, we're creating turnovers. So I mean, 57 00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:17,440 Speaker 1: I'm tough to come into place like this and win, 58 00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:20,680 Speaker 1: and we're able to do that. Both teams had obstacles 59 00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:24,239 Speaker 1: to overcome. Both had adversity going into last night's NFC Showdown. 60 00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:27,280 Speaker 1: How impressed were we with the Cowboys win over the Saints. 61 00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:28,840 Speaker 1: I don't want to give them too much love. They 62 00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:30,400 Speaker 1: needed to get a win and they should have against 63 00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:32,720 Speaker 1: this team. Yeah, and then Saints have lost four straight 64 00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:34,760 Speaker 1: games going into this and Taysom Hill's banged up, and 65 00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:37,240 Speaker 1: we can But I will say this, when the Cowboys 66 00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:39,800 Speaker 1: have all their pieces, they sure are fun. And that 67 00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:43,080 Speaker 1: first touchdown drive was really what I was looking to see. 68 00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:45,160 Speaker 1: Amari Cooper Coyle, to your point, did not play a 69 00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:47,400 Speaker 1: ton of snaps in this game. Still kind of maybe 70 00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:50,400 Speaker 1: catching his legs here. That's a number one wide receiver. Okay, well, 71 00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:51,760 Speaker 1: then let's get the ball to a CD Lamb. You 72 00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:54,600 Speaker 1: know what that is. That's another number one wide receiver. 73 00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:56,520 Speaker 1: They have two of them on the steam or do 74 00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:58,520 Speaker 1: they have three? Talk about it, because they take it 75 00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:00,760 Speaker 1: down to the goal line, and guess who's out there 76 00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:03,160 Speaker 1: for the first time ever with those two on the field, 77 00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:06,640 Speaker 1: Gallop with the score. Twenty five years old, Michael Gallops. 78 00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:08,320 Speaker 1: And he's gonna be in the contract year and he's 79 00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:10,360 Speaker 1: gonna be even better. He's gonna get paid this offseason. 80 00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:12,040 Speaker 1: But when those three guys are on the field together. 81 00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:14,080 Speaker 1: So the first time all season they have been. They're 82 00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:16,120 Speaker 1: really hard to stop in the passing game. I'm not 83 00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:18,080 Speaker 1: gonna take anything away from it because of who they played. 84 00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:20,440 Speaker 1: They took care of business. They beat the zombie Saints 85 00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:22,359 Speaker 1: because you have to beat the zombie Saints. And I 86 00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:24,680 Speaker 1: say the zombie Saints because I don't recognize what New 87 00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:27,080 Speaker 1: Orleans had. Those not my familiar faces. And if those 88 00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:28,719 Speaker 1: guys fought hard and made it a game until the 89 00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:31,680 Speaker 1: very end, Cowboys win by ten. They get a job done, 90 00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:33,359 Speaker 1: and that's all we could ask for this late in 91 00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:35,440 Speaker 1: the season, and I think they're getting all their pizzas back. 92 00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:37,479 Speaker 1: It's good to see the Marcus Lawrence too. It was. 93 00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:40,520 Speaker 1: It was good to see their everybody, all their playmakers, 94 00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:43,600 Speaker 1: de Marcus Lawrence. But this was a get right game 95 00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:46,640 Speaker 1: for the Dallas Cowboys. It was right. In past years, 96 00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:49,320 Speaker 1: we'd see the Dallas Cowboys kind of trick this game up, 97 00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:52,279 Speaker 1: mess it up right, and you know, do something stupid, lose, 98 00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:55,360 Speaker 1: and then you know we're talking about how they're imploding 99 00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:57,800 Speaker 1: towards the end of the season. Michael Irvin, our colleague, 100 00:04:57,839 --> 00:04:59,960 Speaker 1: had NFL Network. He says something on the post game 101 00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:03,680 Speaker 1: last night, he talked about getting their confidence together, and really, 102 00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:05,640 Speaker 1: I think that's what this game was about, because at 103 00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:08,080 Speaker 1: the end of the day, the Dallas played the greatest 104 00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:11,000 Speaker 1: know a better team with a beat Dallas last night, 105 00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:13,560 Speaker 1: but it was a get right game for their confidence. 106 00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:16,159 Speaker 1: They can go into the building and feel good about 107 00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:18,360 Speaker 1: their football. Over the last month, they haven't felt good 108 00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:20,400 Speaker 1: about their football, right, And if you're not feeling good 109 00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:23,240 Speaker 1: about your football, it's gonna stink. But before I finished, 110 00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:25,120 Speaker 1: I got to talk about Michael Parsons. And I'm not 111 00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:27,760 Speaker 1: just talking about him because he went to Pens. The 112 00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:31,280 Speaker 1: dude is a baller man, and I'm hearing people say 113 00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:34,600 Speaker 1: he's probably a better defensive end. I don't agree with that. 114 00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:37,360 Speaker 1: I think when he learns the linebacker position, I think 115 00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:39,840 Speaker 1: he's going to be more impactful from the second level. 116 00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:43,040 Speaker 1: There maybe any linebackers, since I don't know Dick Buckets 117 00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:44,640 Speaker 1: or something. I mean, I think it's one of those 118 00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:48,560 Speaker 1: type of impactful types of guys. Man. But his versatility, 119 00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:51,920 Speaker 1: his ability to get after a quarterback, his mentality, he's 120 00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:54,240 Speaker 1: a franchise personality. I love what I'm seeing out of 121 00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:57,680 Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys when they're right when they're healthy. But guys can't. 122 00:05:57,800 --> 00:05:59,520 Speaker 1: We gotta be honest. This was a get right game. 123 00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:03,159 Speaker 1: Who the last time a rookie one defensive Player of 124 00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:05,520 Speaker 1: the Year law Lawrence Taylor? Yeah, I mean that was 125 00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:08,280 Speaker 1: thirty something years ago and he looks like it right now. Yes, 126 00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:09,760 Speaker 1: the Saints have lost a bunch of games in a row. 127 00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:11,680 Speaker 1: Cowboys have lost three or four. Cowboys don't have the 128 00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:13,240 Speaker 1: head coach. Cowboys are in the super dumb. I'm not 129 00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:14,720 Speaker 1: taking a lot away from them. This is tough. I 130 00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:16,919 Speaker 1: don't care. Winning football is tough. No, this is not 131 00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:18,920 Speaker 1: the most glamorous and proce went of all time. They 132 00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:21,279 Speaker 1: got it done, and they flexed, and they played defense, 133 00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:24,800 Speaker 1: and they ran the ball. He Jimmy Tony Pollard. They 134 00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:26,839 Speaker 1: have not had a touchdown run longer than that since 135 00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:29,320 Speaker 1: Zeke was a rookie. What are you saying? So I'm saying, 136 00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:31,200 Speaker 1: here's what I'm saying. Yes, in the highlight, you missed it. 137 00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:34,880 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, who should be the starter? Oh Tony Pollard. Listen, 138 00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:37,520 Speaker 1: they're still feeding Zeke. They're still doing it. Be damn. 139 00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:39,719 Speaker 1: He still had thirteen carries and still had more carries 140 00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:42,479 Speaker 1: than Pollard. They're really struggling to run, and we're getting 141 00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:44,440 Speaker 1: caught up on all these glamorous receivers and that they 142 00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:47,120 Speaker 1: can't run, they're getting bottled up. So when you can't run, 143 00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:49,560 Speaker 1: Jimmy's a lighting give me a home run hitter. If 144 00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:52,240 Speaker 1: you can't hit singles, let's hit Jack's. And twenty one 145 00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:54,480 Speaker 1: is not hitting Jack's. Right now, I think that play 146 00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:56,560 Speaker 1: could have changed the Cowboys offense for the next couple 147 00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:59,120 Speaker 1: of months, because I think they're like, oh, that guy, 148 00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:01,480 Speaker 1: all right, and that's television just had the longest run 149 00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:03,159 Speaker 1: we've had in five years. I've been hoping for it. 150 00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:05,040 Speaker 1: I've been praying for it. I hope Kellen and Mike 151 00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:07,359 Speaker 1: McCarthy were watching, because that guy makes a difference in 152 00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:10,120 Speaker 1: the Alvis, not twenty one, twenty Tony Pollod the Tony Express. 153 00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:14,040 Speaker 1: You drew this image on a whiteboard of the Dallas 154 00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:15,960 Speaker 1: Star and it's surrounding and I can't get it out 155 00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:18,040 Speaker 1: of my head. It's surrounded by all like a million 156 00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:20,840 Speaker 1: baby little question marks. How many of those went away 157 00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:23,520 Speaker 1: after last night? A couple of them? And you do 158 00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:24,760 Speaker 1: have a nice lead now if you look at it. 159 00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:26,440 Speaker 1: The cob was pushed their lead in their division. At 160 00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:28,480 Speaker 1: two and a half games over Washington, they're three games 161 00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:30,360 Speaker 1: ahead of Philly. If they lost last night. At the 162 00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:32,200 Speaker 1: end of days and the two and six Taylor Heinekee 163 00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:33,480 Speaker 1: teams is going to come to get them. Peter was 164 00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:36,280 Speaker 1: on it when when they have it at a ten, 165 00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:39,440 Speaker 1: it's it's a mona Lisa. That first drive was absolutely, 166 00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:43,680 Speaker 1: absolutely beautiful. So I think the question mark of is 167 00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:44,960 Speaker 1: watching them to come and get them. I don't think 168 00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:46,720 Speaker 1: they're losing this division. I really don't. I don't think 169 00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:48,240 Speaker 1: they're blowing it. And that was one of the biggest 170 00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:50,160 Speaker 1: question marks. What are the other ones? What do we 171 00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:52,720 Speaker 1: what more? Do we need to see more defensive pieces? Sure, 172 00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:55,960 Speaker 1: a better important part of puzzle. Sure. The biggest question 173 00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:59,120 Speaker 1: is are they win in two playoff games three one? 174 00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:01,680 Speaker 1: It's how many playoffs they They've got more guys coming back, 175 00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:03,600 Speaker 1: of course, so so cool to see to Marcus Lawrence 176 00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:05,560 Speaker 1: and you know on this board they have that pointer. Guys, 177 00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:08,680 Speaker 1: this is Michael Carson's eleven, and I was like, I 178 00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:10,640 Speaker 1: got it to put in perspective. How specially is he 179 00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:13,360 Speaker 1: did get another sack last night, of course, and that 180 00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:17,320 Speaker 1: makes it ten. I believe second rookie, I'm sorry, second player, 181 00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:20,240 Speaker 1: not rookie, not even rookie, just player in the last 182 00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:22,320 Speaker 1: twenty years to have seventy tackles and ten sacks or 183 00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:24,160 Speaker 1: the first twelve games of the season. To put that 184 00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:26,440 Speaker 1: in perspective, the only other player to do it was 185 00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:29,600 Speaker 1: James Harrison. He did it twice, and one of the 186 00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:32,280 Speaker 1: times he did it, he was Defensive Player of the Year. 187 00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:34,959 Speaker 1: So in a World War in between then and now 188 00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:37,679 Speaker 1: where we have guys like JJ Watt and Aaron Donald 189 00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:40,840 Speaker 1: and Miles Garrett, that's a pretty special, rare company that 190 00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:43,600 Speaker 1: he is in. And I'd say, you know, I've been 191 00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:45,360 Speaker 1: clowning on their defense a little bit, like, oh, you've 192 00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:47,360 Speaker 1: got some nice pieces Trey Von Diggs and now you 193 00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:49,680 Speaker 1: have you know, Randy Gregory's gonna come back. You've got 194 00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:52,320 Speaker 1: this defense. Definitely impressed me. We'll see what they do 195 00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:55,120 Speaker 1: down the stretch. And also we have that Ryan Shazier 196 00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:57,600 Speaker 1: is going to join our show. Ian Rappaport. The NFL 197 00:08:57,679 --> 00:09:01,400 Speaker 1: did hand down some suspensions yesterday to three players, one 198 00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:05,160 Speaker 1: being Antonio Brown. What's going on? A resolution for Antonio 199 00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:07,720 Speaker 1: Brown and for the NFL. Remember those allegations of Antonio 200 00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:11,280 Speaker 1: Brown using a fake vaccination card that came a couple 201 00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:14,040 Speaker 1: of weeks ago. That obviously, Antonio Brown denied the attamp 202 00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:16,400 Speaker 1: of a Bucks said they did not know anything about it. Well, 203 00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:19,000 Speaker 1: the NFL and the NFLPA have now decided they knew 204 00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:22,160 Speaker 1: a little bit about it. Antonio Brown was suspended three 205 00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:27,360 Speaker 1: games for misrepresenting his vaccination status. That is the official 206 00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:30,040 Speaker 1: language from the NFL. He was not alone, by the way. 207 00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:34,440 Speaker 1: Teammates Mike Edwards also got suspended. John Franklin, a free 208 00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:37,240 Speaker 1: agent you spent some time with the Bucks, suspended as well. 209 00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:40,360 Speaker 1: This was following a review from the NFL. By the way, 210 00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:44,160 Speaker 1: there is no appeal, so these suspensions have been accepted. 211 00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:48,440 Speaker 1: Brown and teammates can return Week sixteen against the Panthers now. 212 00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:51,800 Speaker 1: Antonio Brown also nursing a foot injury, probably out two 213 00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:55,880 Speaker 1: games anyway, so he misses now three games with this suspension. 214 00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:58,840 Speaker 1: The Bucks, by the way, were not fined in this 215 00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:02,120 Speaker 1: k They did coop right with the NFL. I talked 216 00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:05,719 Speaker 1: to Antonio Brown's lawyer. He said Brown is now vaccinated 217 00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:10,520 Speaker 1: and he accepted this suspension essentially to put it behind 218 00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:13,160 Speaker 1: him and will now focus on rehab and getting back 219 00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:16,160 Speaker 1: on the field. In a statement, the NFL said, the 220 00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:20,720 Speaker 1: NFL and the NFLPA jointly reinforce their commitment to these 221 00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:25,640 Speaker 1: NFLPA to these COVID nineteen protocols, and they emphasize the 222 00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:29,320 Speaker 1: importance of strict adherents. I appreciate the update and the 223 00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:32,080 Speaker 1: thorough report on what's going on there with Tampa Bay. 224 00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:34,440 Speaker 1: They've got the Falcons on the docket for Week thirteen, 225 00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:36,600 Speaker 1: some great matchups to take a look at as well. 226 00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:38,120 Speaker 1: Eve'll talk to you in a bit. We're going to 227 00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:41,439 Speaker 1: take a minute, just a quick sixty it's called mad minute. 228 00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:43,000 Speaker 1: We're gonna go. We're on the table and talk about 229 00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:45,200 Speaker 1: the biggest things that these guys have their eyes on. 230 00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:47,320 Speaker 1: And let's start with the Giant. Speaking of big things, 231 00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:50,079 Speaker 1: Y're taking on the Dolphins this game in South Beach, Peter, 232 00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:51,760 Speaker 1: what are you looking for in this one? All right? Miami? 233 00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:54,480 Speaker 1: Like here, four games in a row, four wins. This 234 00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:56,000 Speaker 1: is a team you have to beat at home. And 235 00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:57,800 Speaker 1: if it's five wins in a row, then we could 236 00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:00,360 Speaker 1: talk playoffs. I've been a little hesitant on saying Dolphins 237 00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:02,880 Speaker 1: aren't back, just because of the way that these last 238 00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:04,920 Speaker 1: four weeks have gone. They've beaten caliber teams that are 239 00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:06,520 Speaker 1: this is when you have to win if you're a 240 00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:08,920 Speaker 1: playoff team. I think they do. I think they handle 241 00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:11,120 Speaker 1: the Giants, especially with the quarterback situation being up in 242 00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:13,080 Speaker 1: the air at the moment. Yeah, I'm interested to see 243 00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:15,800 Speaker 1: how Mike Glennon handles this opportunity that he's gonna have. 244 00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:18,800 Speaker 1: I want to see, say, Quon Barkley get his legs 245 00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:21,040 Speaker 1: up underneath them. We saw him break a couple of 246 00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:23,720 Speaker 1: runs last week, but he still looks like he's still, 247 00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:26,600 Speaker 1: you know, still trying to still some tough sledding for him. 248 00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:30,000 Speaker 1: So come on, need you, Let's get it. Let's get it. 249 00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:32,400 Speaker 1: Let's get a playoff bit for the Dolphins. But I'll 250 00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:34,120 Speaker 1: just name the teams. Tell me the team they can't 251 00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:38,959 Speaker 1: beat down the stretch Giants, that's Saints, Titans, Patriots week 252 00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:40,440 Speaker 1: in the last week that many may not be playing 253 00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:42,040 Speaker 1: for anything. Yeah, the Dolphins might be going to the 254 00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:44,400 Speaker 1: playoffs and lost in all of us doing the Penguin 255 00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:46,600 Speaker 1: dance when all who are talking about Lowe's playing some 256 00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:49,800 Speaker 1: good football, like he's thrown dimes, that that Jaylen Waddle touchdown. 257 00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:51,920 Speaker 1: The pass from tour was awesome, and we never talked 258 00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:53,640 Speaker 1: about it because it's how funny the dances. The Dolphins 259 00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:56,640 Speaker 1: are gonna win this game. Break up the fences. You've 260 00:11:56,720 --> 00:11:58,360 Speaker 1: kept a reel on too this whole time. I'd like 261 00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:00,800 Speaker 1: to hear that you're in passive good. Lady's been real good. 262 00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:03,120 Speaker 1: The Giants though, for all time against the Dolphins when 263 00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:06,079 Speaker 1: playing in Miami. How about an NFC North battle. It's 264 00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:08,800 Speaker 1: the Vikings and the Lions. It's one in Detroit. What 265 00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:11,439 Speaker 1: are you looking for? Emi, Meni, Mini and Rob. Yeah. 266 00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:15,320 Speaker 1: Alexander Madison man he's talking about he's gonna get his opportunity. Dude. 267 00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:18,200 Speaker 1: He's one of those other backup running backs that whenever 268 00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:20,800 Speaker 1: he gets his opportunities to do balls on. Guy has 269 00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:23,440 Speaker 1: over four yacht average when he's running the football. He's 270 00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:25,520 Speaker 1: powerful between the tackles, he can catch the ball out 271 00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:27,960 Speaker 1: of the backfield, and he runs behind his pads. I 272 00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:29,959 Speaker 1: think this guy is going to show the world he 273 00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:31,640 Speaker 1: can he can be a starting back in this league. 274 00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:33,959 Speaker 1: He's in the Tony Pollard club. Off. He played behind 275 00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:36,160 Speaker 1: a very well paid famous running back. And when you 276 00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:37,880 Speaker 1: get in there, you're like, I think you might be better. 277 00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:39,600 Speaker 1: It's it's that that's kind of thing going on there. 278 00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:41,800 Speaker 1: I'm worried about the Vikings losing this game. I really am. 279 00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:44,520 Speaker 1: It's almost never happens that a team goes start to 280 00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:46,800 Speaker 1: finish losing. The Lions most likely to win a game. 281 00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:50,400 Speaker 1: Big letdown week last week for Minnesota. Emotional, tough, frustrating 282 00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:52,360 Speaker 1: loss at the end. I don't know about the mental 283 00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:54,199 Speaker 1: strength of this team. And it's a division rival you 284 00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:56,040 Speaker 1: can never counted. I'm worried that the Vikings are gonna 285 00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:59,040 Speaker 1: Vikings this up, Peter, I've been. It's funny because every 286 00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:01,280 Speaker 1: week the Vikings like we get in down and every 287 00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:03,120 Speaker 1: week it's like, this is the Lions week. I don't 288 00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:05,000 Speaker 1: see it. You don't see the Wandre Swift is not 289 00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:09,280 Speaker 1: out there. They mismanaged the clock miserably, like I don't 290 00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:11,080 Speaker 1: know if the Lions get to win. If the Vikings 291 00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:13,240 Speaker 1: lose to the Lions, the Vikings have to really look 292 00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:15,079 Speaker 1: in the mirror and say, what are we moving forward? 293 00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:17,600 Speaker 1: I think they have to win this Our Cousins leads 294 00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:21,320 Speaker 1: the NFL with a twenty three to three touchdown to Interest. 295 00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:26,800 Speaker 1: That does something with his numbers. Numbers were head scratcher 296 00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:29,040 Speaker 1: for Monday. All right, the Eagles. The Eagles are going 297 00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:32,040 Speaker 1: to New York East Rutherford specifically to face suggests. What 298 00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:35,480 Speaker 1: is intriguing about this one? Oh boy, oh that would 299 00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:43,360 Speaker 1: oh Man hot to The Eagles were as hot as 300 00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:46,480 Speaker 1: the coffee h And I'm fascinated to see how the 301 00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:51,360 Speaker 1: Philadelphiagos respond. Nick Trianni is this motivational master in his mind. Terrible, 302 00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:54,720 Speaker 1: psychologically devastating loss on the goal line last week. This 303 00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:57,080 Speaker 1: tea's playing really well. They should throw that thing out, 304 00:13:57,120 --> 00:13:59,840 Speaker 1: the minus four turnover ratio, go and beat this team 305 00:13:59,880 --> 00:14:01,960 Speaker 1: and then going to run Philadelphi. You're not out of it. 306 00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:04,280 Speaker 1: You really aren't. In this an NFC wildcard, get off 307 00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:06,040 Speaker 1: the map. Eagles have one of the weirdest schedules in 308 00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:09,280 Speaker 1: the league. They have a buy next week, Week fourteen, 309 00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:12,720 Speaker 1: So it's like, just get to that point. You cannot 310 00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:14,880 Speaker 1: have a letdown game here. You have to beat the Jets. 311 00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:17,480 Speaker 1: There is inexcusable if they lose this one. Last week 312 00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:20,400 Speaker 1: I thought was inexcusable against the Giants with Mac with 313 00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:23,800 Speaker 1: Kitchens as head coach or coordinator filling in a short week, Yeah, 314 00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:25,480 Speaker 1: can't lose this one. If you're a playoff team and 315 00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:27,120 Speaker 1: the Eagles, I don't think they believe they are. Yeah, 316 00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:30,040 Speaker 1: it wasn't excusable last week, Peter, He's absolutely right, man, 317 00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:32,160 Speaker 1: it was tough. Man, Jayalen Hursts, you gotta play better. 318 00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:34,840 Speaker 1: I think you are the future for the Philadelphia Eagles. 319 00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:37,880 Speaker 1: But three interceptions last week against a bad team. You 320 00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:40,440 Speaker 1: didn't play well. Man, Stop zero in in all your receivers, 321 00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:43,440 Speaker 1: go through your progressions. Hope rich Isisen's covering his ears 322 00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:46,880 Speaker 1: for this next one. The Eagles have never lost to 323 00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:49,960 Speaker 1: the Jets. They're eleven and o dating back to nineteen 324 00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:52,280 Speaker 1: seventy three VP. By the way, the best all time 325 00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:56,360 Speaker 1: record of any NFL team against any single opponent. All right, 326 00:14:56,400 --> 00:14:57,880 Speaker 1: rich you can keep listening now because you want to 327 00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:00,160 Speaker 1: hear about the Cardinals. They're tops in the NFC. Go 328 00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:03,080 Speaker 1: to the Windy City City battle out against the Bears 329 00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:06,200 Speaker 1: in Chicago. What are we excited about in this from Peter? Yeah, 330 00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:08,600 Speaker 1: the Cardinals are going to get back Kyler and DeAndre 331 00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:10,680 Speaker 1: right now, they're playing at Quit. I would be very 332 00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:12,920 Speaker 1: surprised if those two said on game day, you know what, 333 00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:14,960 Speaker 1: I actually don't feel good. They're not going to play. 334 00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:17,480 Speaker 1: They've been ready to go and they're hopeful that they're 335 00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:19,040 Speaker 1: going to get them in there. I look at the 336 00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:21,480 Speaker 1: Bears the quietest week in Bearson, will they won that 337 00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:23,800 Speaker 1: game and all the naggy stuff kind of it's all 338 00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:26,640 Speaker 1: Blackhawks and Bulls in Chicago, Like Bulls meet the next 339 00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:29,640 Speaker 1: last night. Yeah, what if the Bears beat the Cardinals? 340 00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:32,200 Speaker 1: Like I think the Bears still the fighting chance out there. 341 00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:35,400 Speaker 1: I'm interested in this one. It's gonna be a trap game. Yeah, 342 00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:38,840 Speaker 1: it's interesting. I'm looking to see what Kyler Murray brings 343 00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:42,040 Speaker 1: back to his game. Right, did anything fall off? I mean, 344 00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:45,680 Speaker 1: his offense is super explosive. When this guy plays, defenses 345 00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:48,640 Speaker 1: defend this team a whole lot different when he plays. 346 00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:50,320 Speaker 1: I want to see him get back to the MVP 347 00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:52,440 Speaker 1: type of play for their zone a car. You know 348 00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:54,600 Speaker 1: what the defensive player of the month is in the NFL, 349 00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:59,000 Speaker 1: Robert Quinn of the Chicago Bears. Awesome months. He's playing great. 350 00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:01,720 Speaker 1: Not a lot of other guys are. Matt Naggie is 351 00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:04,200 Speaker 1: such a solid dude. We love Matt Naggie. I think 352 00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:06,520 Speaker 1: this might be his last stand to lose at home 353 00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:08,920 Speaker 1: to this team, especially if he lose by a few scores. 354 00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:10,760 Speaker 1: But in front of the home fans. He really needs 355 00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:14,280 Speaker 1: to rise up today, last stand meaning and this could 356 00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:17,320 Speaker 1: be the end in game, Like I mean, like if 357 00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:19,320 Speaker 1: they lose this game, the rest of the season's pretty 358 00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:20,920 Speaker 1: much a row. Yeah, you know, if it just falls 359 00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:23,040 Speaker 1: off and so it just gets ugly. After Cardinals top 360 00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:25,480 Speaker 1: five in NFL and goal scoring offense and scoring defense, 361 00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:27,240 Speaker 1: the bill is the only other team that is top 362 00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:29,640 Speaker 1: five on both sides of the ball. All right. Going 363 00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:33,600 Speaker 1: through Week thirteen action, the Slate Chargers going east to 364 00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:36,040 Speaker 1: Cincinnati to take on the Bengals. What are we looking for? 365 00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:38,360 Speaker 1: What a game? Yeah, it's a big game. It's a 366 00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:40,360 Speaker 1: big game, and I think it's gonna be another Joe 367 00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:43,760 Speaker 1: Mixing game. I mean, the Chargers rush defense is last 368 00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:46,480 Speaker 1: in the National Football League. They give up one hundred 369 00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:50,800 Speaker 1: and forty five, they get gas, they get gashed, Joe Mixing, 370 00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:53,320 Speaker 1: go get it, man. I'm looking to see some new dances. 371 00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:55,640 Speaker 1: I'm looking to see all that fun that y'all had 372 00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:57,560 Speaker 1: last week. I gotta bring it this week. It don't 373 00:16:57,560 --> 00:16:59,680 Speaker 1: matter this week. If you don't matter what you did 374 00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:02,000 Speaker 1: last we give k do it this week. Man about it? 375 00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:03,880 Speaker 1: Maybe a month ago, six weeks ago. Maybe at the 376 00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:05,920 Speaker 1: end of last year when he was hurt. Anybody who 377 00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:09,760 Speaker 1: wanted to do a redraft would all be saying Herbert 378 00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:12,119 Speaker 1: should go number one. Herbert should go number one. Burrow, YEA, 379 00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:15,080 Speaker 1: Herbert's the guy. If we know anything about Joe Burrow, 380 00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:17,080 Speaker 1: he is a filet away guy. He is a chip 381 00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:19,040 Speaker 1: on the shoulder guy. I think Joe Burrow has something 382 00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:20,679 Speaker 1: to prove in this game. And there was a national 383 00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:23,560 Speaker 1: parade for Justin Herbert deservedly, so I still would invest 384 00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:25,280 Speaker 1: more in Joe Burrow if I had to pick one 385 00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:27,160 Speaker 1: going forward. And I think Joe Burrow knows that this 386 00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:29,760 Speaker 1: is the let me Love you bowl. Both these teams 387 00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:31,439 Speaker 1: you want to wrap your arms around, and then, like 388 00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:33,159 Speaker 1: the Bengals lost to the Jets the last time we 389 00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:35,639 Speaker 1: did this, the Chargers they lead to the Broncos. Just 390 00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:38,200 Speaker 1: when you want to say the Chargers, let me love 391 00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:40,320 Speaker 1: you bowl, one of these teams play a complete game 392 00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:42,960 Speaker 1: and let us love you because last time we've crowned 393 00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:46,040 Speaker 1: both these teams, they've had really disappointing losses afterwards. It's 394 00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:47,720 Speaker 1: so true. I would just want to see some big plays, 395 00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:49,280 Speaker 1: and Joe Burrow does that. I know it's been the 396 00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:51,399 Speaker 1: mixing show of late, but Joe Burrow actually leads the 397 00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:54,040 Speaker 1: NFL and plays of thirty or more yards. He has ten. 398 00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:56,639 Speaker 1: No one else has more than six. So that Chase 399 00:17:56,760 --> 00:17:59,600 Speaker 1: connection or whether it's whoever's out there Joe Burrow, give 400 00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:02,399 Speaker 1: us some places at you on on Monday morning. All right, 401 00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:04,600 Speaker 1: we got more Good Morning football coming up. The Couples 402 00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:07,399 Speaker 1: Dominyan Saints. Just last night, did they finally close the 403 00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:10,640 Speaker 1: door on the NFC East And as Cushy leave there, 404 00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:12,440 Speaker 1: how did they start up against the rest of the 405 00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:14,600 Speaker 1: NFC And are you listening to Guns and Rows now 406 00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:18,159 Speaker 1: Welcome to the Jungle with Tony Pollard talks about a 407 00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:31,320 Speaker 1: welcome back to Good Morning Football. I'm will sell a 408 00:18:31,359 --> 00:18:33,879 Speaker 1: happy Friday to all of you. And the Cardinals are 409 00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:36,679 Speaker 1: happy to be the number one seed in the NFC 410 00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:39,159 Speaker 1: playoff picture as they look to make the playoffs for 411 00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:41,840 Speaker 1: the first time since twenty fifteen. And it looks like 412 00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:45,400 Speaker 1: they'll have two key pieces of their offense back on 413 00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:49,000 Speaker 1: Sunday and make take on the Bears. Let's start with 414 00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:53,400 Speaker 1: the quarterback position, of course. Kyler Murray limited in practice 415 00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:55,840 Speaker 1: for a second straight day on Thursday after missing the 416 00:18:55,840 --> 00:18:59,200 Speaker 1: past three games with an ankle injury. Wide receiver DeAndre 417 00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:02,479 Speaker 1: Hopkins all so limited as he deals with a hamstring injury. 418 00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:06,440 Speaker 1: Arizona traveling to Chicago to take on K and Kyle's Bears. 419 00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:12,120 Speaker 1: The prognosis not so good for Raiders tight end Darren Waller, 420 00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:14,760 Speaker 1: he missed his second straight practice with the knee injury. 421 00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:17,960 Speaker 1: Suffered a Thanksgiving Day in the win over the Lions. 422 00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:21,840 Speaker 1: Las Vegas taking on Washington an important game for both 423 00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:26,080 Speaker 1: teams as they battle for a spot in the playoff race. 424 00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:30,520 Speaker 1: Set against Lions against the Cowboys. Well Ben Roethlisberger and 425 00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:33,440 Speaker 1: the Steelers coming off a bad Week twelve loss to 426 00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:36,680 Speaker 1: the Bengals, now they have a tough matchup with division 427 00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:40,040 Speaker 1: rival Baltimore awaiting them. Big Ben was as how he 428 00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:43,800 Speaker 1: puts a blowout loss behind them and focus on their 429 00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:47,600 Speaker 1: next opponent. You know what someone once said, games like 430 00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:49,200 Speaker 1: this are like bubba gut. You chewing for a little 431 00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:50,480 Speaker 1: bit and you spit them out. That's kind of what 432 00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:52,919 Speaker 1: I'm doing, So moving on. I don't have no comments 433 00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:55,360 Speaker 1: about last week because it's bubba gum that we spit out. 434 00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:59,240 Speaker 1: Interesting analogy. The only thing that we're spending out here 435 00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:02,719 Speaker 1: are fantasy football facts, and that's where Kay comes in 436 00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:05,920 Speaker 1: is he looks to help everybody try to get into 437 00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:10,000 Speaker 1: their fantasy football playoffs. It is the holiday season. We've 438 00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:12,000 Speaker 1: got people gaining the Christmas trees. This weekend. We're in 439 00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:14,040 Speaker 1: the middle of Hanaka. You gotta get it going here. 440 00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:18,719 Speaker 1: No Cleveland, no Green Bay, no Tennessee, no Carolina yos, yikes. 441 00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:21,919 Speaker 1: Let's help fill your lineups for Week thirteen. Anybody want 442 00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:25,040 Speaker 1: a quarterback? Sure, how about Derek Carr. Derek car Guys, 443 00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:28,000 Speaker 1: he's a little putting up numbers even without having some 444 00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:30,560 Speaker 1: of his top targets out there, including those three hundred 445 00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:33,080 Speaker 1: and seventy three yards on Thanksgiving Day. You can't play 446 00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:35,600 Speaker 1: Rogers this week? How about cars? Google, I'm up playing 447 00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:38,560 Speaker 1: against a Washington defense that's allowed more fantasy points to 448 00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:41,480 Speaker 1: quarterbacks than anyone. If I'm playing in daily this is 449 00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:43,919 Speaker 1: who I'm targeting. I'll probaly talk about him on Sunday 450 00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:46,840 Speaker 1: on game day at running back Jamal Williams. I mentioned 451 00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:49,760 Speaker 1: him on Waivers. I like it a lot. DeAndre Swift 452 00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:53,440 Speaker 1: still hasn't practice everything, looking like he'll be out Sunday 453 00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:57,240 Speaker 1: against Minnesota, and you have to play Swaggy Jamal Williams. 454 00:20:57,280 --> 00:20:59,359 Speaker 1: We love him here on the show. You want a 455 00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:01,439 Speaker 1: route for him, need fifteen carries and five catches, so 456 00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:04,679 Speaker 1: that's twenty touches eighty three yards on Thanksgiving Day against 457 00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:07,679 Speaker 1: the Bears, most of those coming Windswift left action. So 458 00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:10,320 Speaker 1: the Vikings top ten with generous to running backs, put 459 00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:13,359 Speaker 1: him in there another running back because there's so many 460 00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:16,320 Speaker 1: weird things going on at the RB spot. Clyde Edwards 461 00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:19,480 Speaker 1: Laire and no, haven't talked about him a lot. He 462 00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:22,440 Speaker 1: was a thing, wasn't a thing, never really amounted to anything. 463 00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:24,760 Speaker 1: But maybe he will this week for your fantasy team. 464 00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:27,400 Speaker 1: He returned from injury just two weeks ago. He put 465 00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:30,200 Speaker 1: up seventy six total yards and a touchdown. He had 466 00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:32,399 Speaker 1: a bye week to rest up a little bit further, 467 00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:34,720 Speaker 1: and now he was taking on a Broncos defense that's 468 00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:37,000 Speaker 1: been rough on opposing quarterbacks, but they are giving up 469 00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:40,360 Speaker 1: points on the ground. Clyde Edwards Laire, with all the injuries, 470 00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:43,240 Speaker 1: no j album Cook, all that going on, absolutely play him. 471 00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:46,680 Speaker 1: And you can't play any Green Bay guys. You can't 472 00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:48,960 Speaker 1: play Hilliard. He can't play any of those Carolina guys 473 00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:51,879 Speaker 1: that are in for CMC. Have about wide receiver Van Jefferson. 474 00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:55,960 Speaker 1: Van Jefferson has been the Rams big play threats. Yeah, 475 00:21:56,040 --> 00:21:59,000 Speaker 1: a little boom or bust, but he's getting volume, which 476 00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:01,200 Speaker 1: I like. Consistent against He's gotten six or more in 477 00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:04,920 Speaker 1: five straight games, including a season high nine last week. 478 00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:06,720 Speaker 1: I love seeing that. I think he rips off a 479 00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:09,720 Speaker 1: few more big plays this week against a Jags defense 480 00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:13,520 Speaker 1: that's eight most generous to wide receivers Alex Stafford two 481 00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:16,240 Speaker 1: this week quite a bit. Finally, at tight end Logan 482 00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:20,320 Speaker 1: Thomas Thomas Saw's first action Week four, a Monday night 483 00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:24,560 Speaker 1: against the seahatser say what Yeah, like those guys right, 484 00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:28,320 Speaker 1: and he turns it on sometimes. He's obviously a big 485 00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:32,240 Speaker 1: target in the red zone and he had three catches 486 00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:33,880 Speaker 1: for thirty one yards. I think that was a little 487 00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:36,640 Speaker 1: warm up. He's been consistent. He's been top ten over 488 00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:38,720 Speaker 1: the last two years. When he is on the field, 489 00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:42,200 Speaker 1: he's efficient. So start of this week it's the Raiders defense. 490 00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:46,160 Speaker 1: They've allowed the third most points to tight ends this season. 491 00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:48,119 Speaker 1: I feel good about these. A lot of teams are 492 00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:50,520 Speaker 1: to buy again. No Cleveland, no Green Bay, no Tennessee, 493 00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:53,960 Speaker 1: no Carolina.

I was also like Van 497 00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:03,520 Speaker 1: Jefferson that I think he's benefiting from teams seeing you know, 498 00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:06,040 Speaker 1: Cooper Cup having to double one, you know, double him 499 00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:08,080 Speaker 1: will be Jay having to give some attention to him. 500 00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:10,359 Speaker 1: Now Van Jefferson one on one is Obejay going to 501 00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:12,400 Speaker 1: ruin it for me and Van Jefferson at some point, 502 00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:15,919 Speaker 1: maybe later on, but not right now.

Ladies and gentlemen, 511 00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:48,840 Speaker 1: please welcome to the Breakfast Table former Steelers linebacker Ryan Shazier. 512 00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:53,840 Speaker 1: What's up Ryan on the show, So happy to talk 513 00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:55,600 Speaker 1: to you. You look great. Ryan. You know you're a 514 00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:58,800 Speaker 1: former pro bowler, you're not an author.

Tell us more 519 00:24:11,359 --> 00:24:13,640 Speaker 1: about it and what we'll discover in this incredible book. Man. 520 00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:15,720 Speaker 1: So one thing about my book, I think it relates 521 00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:18,240 Speaker 1: with everybody, not just football fans. I think it relates 522 00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:22,199 Speaker 1: for literally everybody that's dealing with adversity. Because one thing is, 523 00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:24,800 Speaker 1: when on that Monday night when I got hurt, I 524 00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:27,240 Speaker 1: don't think anybody that watched that game never thought I 525 00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:29,960 Speaker 1: would play football again, and not even myself. And I 526 00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:31,880 Speaker 1: think that's kind of the same situation that we're going 527 00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:34,240 Speaker 1: with COVID. You know, nobody in the world thought the 528 00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:36,919 Speaker 1: world was shut down the last two years because of 529 00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:39,600 Speaker 1: a virus. And my book just talks about how to 530 00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:43,200 Speaker 1: overcome adversity, dealer with adversity and using your past experiences 531 00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:46,800 Speaker 1: to help you overcome that, and just having a positive light, 532 00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:49,439 Speaker 1: you know, just always thinking in a good manner, just 533 00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:52,800 Speaker 1: always feeling well about yourself, and having good faith leads 534 00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:55,399 Speaker 1: to having more things going your way than you know 535 00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:57,560 Speaker 1: having a negative one. So that's more about what the 536 00:24:57,560 --> 00:24:59,520 Speaker 1: book's up. Can I getive one sometimes give us a 537 00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:01,600 Speaker 1: great person active though on they make us more grateful. 538 00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:05,119 Speaker 1: I remember very clearly Ryan, the twenty eighteen draft and 539 00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:08,320 Speaker 1: you walked out with your wife Michelle. You were announcing 540 00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:10,840 Speaker 1: the Steeler's first round pick, and this was I think 541 00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:13,560 Speaker 1: less than a year after your injury. We were all 542 00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:17,600 Speaker 1: watching in awe so inspired as you walked out there. 543 00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:20,439 Speaker 1: When you think of that moment and you sort of 544 00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:22,800 Speaker 1: make your way through from then to now, how do 545 00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:25,400 Speaker 1: you describe that journey. It's more of a marathon than 546 00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:28,520 Speaker 1: sprint because when I when I first got injured, I 547 00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:31,160 Speaker 1: thought it was going to be more a quicker process. 548 00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:34,720 Speaker 1: And honestly, I didn't know how bad spinal core injuries were, 549 00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:36,920 Speaker 1: so I didn't really know what I was going into. 550 00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:38,760 Speaker 1: And I had a positive mindset, so I thought I 551 00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:40,880 Speaker 1: was gonna be okay from the get going. I thought 552 00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:43,360 Speaker 1: I was gonna heal right away. But the one thing 553 00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:45,760 Speaker 1: that I did do was I treated it like any 554 00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:48,399 Speaker 1: injury that any of us had before, and I just 555 00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:50,240 Speaker 1: try to make a game plan for it, which I 556 00:25:50,280 --> 00:25:53,359 Speaker 1: called first downs and in touchdowns like a short and 557 00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:56,879 Speaker 1: long term goes. And every time I achieved something that 558 00:25:57,560 --> 00:25:59,760 Speaker 1: was a goal for me, you know, I would say 559 00:25:59,920 --> 00:26:02,320 Speaker 1: that's a first down, that's another first down, and I 560 00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:04,080 Speaker 1: build up those first downs to be able to do 561 00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:06,840 Speaker 1: that moment and to me, that will be a touchdown. Dude, 562 00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:09,440 Speaker 1: just to show everybody, Hey, this is where I'm at. 563 00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:11,280 Speaker 1: This is all the hard work I've been doing. And 564 00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:14,280 Speaker 1: that's kind of like a thank you as well to 565 00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:15,720 Speaker 1: all the people that I was praying for me and 566 00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:19,160 Speaker 1: support me. Right, we know that you follow the Steelers 567 00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:22,040 Speaker 1: very closely. You've been a part of that team's ride 568 00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:24,480 Speaker 1: since the injury and even beyond that. So let's talk 569 00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:27,639 Speaker 1: about this version of the Steelers. It's Ravens Week, and 570 00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:30,560 Speaker 1: you know all about Ravens Week. It is what it is. 571 00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:32,800 Speaker 1: It's one of the greatest rivalries in sports. You are 572 00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:35,440 Speaker 1: a part of it. Still are How different was your 573 00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:37,800 Speaker 1: preparation though, when you were playing for the Steelers. When 574 00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:39,879 Speaker 1: you're going up against that purple and Black than other 575 00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:43,399 Speaker 1: teams each week? This week is almost like, you know, honestly, 576 00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:45,879 Speaker 1: we lost last week when I talked on how State Michigan, 577 00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:47,480 Speaker 1: but this is almost like a house State Michigan and 578 00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:50,520 Speaker 1: professional football, So you have to really just dive in 579 00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:54,199 Speaker 1: and find out any extra clues that you can to 580 00:26:54,320 --> 00:26:56,159 Speaker 1: be the better team. You know, this is gonna be 581 00:26:56,160 --> 00:26:59,440 Speaker 1: a really physically point game. The Ravens ran the ball 582 00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:01,159 Speaker 1: a lot any way, but they're definitely going to win 583 00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:03,880 Speaker 1: the ball, especially because of they see what we went 584 00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:06,760 Speaker 1: through last week. So we have to have a bigger 585 00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:09,840 Speaker 1: week of preparation and practice, and everybody has to truly 586 00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:13,640 Speaker 1: understand what the circumstances are when it comes to trying 587 00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:17,119 Speaker 1: to win this game. This is a divisional game and 588 00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:19,639 Speaker 1: all of us are listen as are trying to make 589 00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:22,199 Speaker 1: the playoffs. So this is one of the weeks that 590 00:27:22,320 --> 00:27:24,159 Speaker 1: I might have said a little bit longer. I went 591 00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:26,480 Speaker 1: to practice a little bit earlier because I understood how 592 00:27:26,520 --> 00:27:28,920 Speaker 1: big of a game this is every time we play them. Ryan, 593 00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:31,320 Speaker 1: you were a leader of this defense and now when 594 00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:33,959 Speaker 1: you look at this defense, man, this defense is allowed 595 00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:36,639 Speaker 1: a total of what eighty two points over their last 596 00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:40,920 Speaker 1: two games. Man. Former safety Ryan Clark recently said, nobody 597 00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:43,640 Speaker 1: scared of this team. What's the key to this team? 598 00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:47,200 Speaker 1: Getting back to that dominant nature on defense that we've 599 00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:50,080 Speaker 1: become accustomed to knowing. I think the first thing of 600 00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:53,040 Speaker 1: becoming a dominant defense is stopping the run. So if 601 00:27:53,040 --> 00:27:55,480 Speaker 1: you can stop the run, now you're forcing teams to 602 00:27:55,520 --> 00:27:57,239 Speaker 1: do what you don't what they don't want to do. 603 00:27:57,480 --> 00:27:59,720 Speaker 1: And every team wants to be able to run the 604 00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:02,360 Speaker 1: ball and pass the ball, but not every team wants 605 00:28:02,359 --> 00:28:03,919 Speaker 1: to pass the ball that we see the play. So 606 00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:05,280 Speaker 1: if you force the team not to be able to 607 00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:08,680 Speaker 1: run the ball, then it allows TJ Alex and all 608 00:28:08,680 --> 00:28:10,639 Speaker 1: those guys to be able to hunt the passer. And 609 00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:14,399 Speaker 1: then nobody wants to TJ going after the quarterback because 610 00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:16,520 Speaker 1: they know it may be a sack, but it can 611 00:28:16,600 --> 00:28:19,640 Speaker 1: also be worse. But the fact that we're allowing people 612 00:28:19,640 --> 00:28:22,000 Speaker 1: to run the ball, that the way we're running it, 613 00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:24,840 Speaker 1: it allows teams to do whatever they want. And that's 614 00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:26,720 Speaker 1: why the defense isn't looking at the world right now. 615 00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:31,720 Speaker 1: It's so true, right we like getting this this analysisiety. 616 00:28:31,800 --> 00:28:33,879 Speaker 1: Let's keep this going earlier this week. Big story here 617 00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:36,639 Speaker 1: at the breakfast table, wide receiver Chase Claypool. Let's go. 618 00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:39,240 Speaker 1: He says, you know, I think the Steelers to play 619 00:28:39,360 --> 00:28:41,440 Speaker 1: music in practice. We're doing in pregame warm up to 620 00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:44,560 Speaker 1: the lighting is the mood everybody's feeling themselves. Mike Tomlin, 621 00:28:45,160 --> 00:28:47,560 Speaker 1: who you know very well, not really on the same page. 622 00:28:47,680 --> 00:28:50,920 Speaker 1: Let's listen. Mike Claypool suggested yesterday they need to who 623 00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:53,320 Speaker 1: would like to have more fun at practice? Maybe play 624 00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:57,520 Speaker 1: some music. I'm suggesting you're not going to oblige his request. Well, 625 00:28:57,560 --> 00:28:59,600 Speaker 1: you know, Claypool plays wilde out and I'll let him 626 00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:02,120 Speaker 1: do that. I'll formulate the practice approach, and I think 627 00:29:02,280 --> 00:29:05,920 Speaker 1: that division of labor is probably appropriate. I like the response. 628 00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:08,200 Speaker 1: I really like the tea up from whoever the reporters, 629 00:29:08,200 --> 00:29:10,120 Speaker 1: I forgive me, I don't know who it was, just 630 00:29:10,160 --> 00:29:12,680 Speaker 1: saying Claypool would like to have more fun. He knew 631 00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:14,480 Speaker 1: what he was doing. He was getting right into coach. 632 00:29:14,560 --> 00:29:16,200 Speaker 1: What's your take on this? I'll just ask you that 633 00:29:16,560 --> 00:29:18,760 Speaker 1: when I heard when I first heard that Cipoo said that, 634 00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:21,040 Speaker 1: I knew coach is going to respond, especially because of 635 00:29:21,280 --> 00:29:23,440 Speaker 1: how serious a person he is. You know, Coach Tomlin 636 00:29:23,520 --> 00:29:25,520 Speaker 1: has a good time, but he's a serious dude, and 637 00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:28,520 Speaker 1: when it comes to football, you're not joking around. And 638 00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:32,080 Speaker 1: I know that Coach Toman is pissed right now with 639 00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:34,800 Speaker 1: how they plan on defense and in some of the 640 00:29:34,840 --> 00:29:37,800 Speaker 1: ways they plan on offense. So to be honest, I 641 00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:39,720 Speaker 1: know that he's going to figure out a way and 642 00:29:39,760 --> 00:29:42,040 Speaker 1: practice the turning things around and then getting them back 643 00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:44,960 Speaker 1: on track. But I know, I know Chase wants to 644 00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:47,600 Speaker 1: have fun, but sometimes you have to focus in on 645 00:29:48,040 --> 00:29:50,880 Speaker 1: winning instead of just you know, having a good time anything. 646 00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:57,240 Speaker 1: It's fun, yeah, whenever, winning is fun, and so are you, man, 647 00:29:57,280 --> 00:29:59,400 Speaker 1: and never count out this man. The book is called 648 00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:02,800 Speaker 1: Walking Miracle and Ryan Shazier, that is exactly what you are. 649 00:30:03,080 --> 00:30:05,800 Speaker 1: Thank you so much for joining us. Congratulations on the book. 650 00:30:05,840 --> 00:30:08,160 Speaker 1: Please come business again sometimes ce moment. I love to 651 00:30:08,320 --> 00:30:18,760 Speaker 1: thank you guys so much. Congrats on the book. Week 652 00:30:18,840 --> 00:30:21,320 Speaker 1: thirteen is underway.

They're going to Since City, They're taking 658 00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:35,520 Speaker 1: on the Raiders. What are we looking for here, Peter? 659 00:30:35,720 --> 00:30:37,760 Speaker 1: Literally a month ago, okay, I would have said, this 660 00:30:37,800 --> 00:30:39,720 Speaker 1: game is one of those irrelevant games. You just sits 661 00:30:39,760 --> 00:30:41,840 Speaker 1: in the late window. You're not gonna watch it. Oh okay, 662 00:30:41,640 --> 00:30:44,320 Speaker 1: what this might be the game of the week, Washington 663 00:30:44,560 --> 00:30:48,600 Speaker 1: versus Vegas. Vegas coming off their biggest win in years 664 00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:51,240 Speaker 1: to kind of stop the bleeding of a three game 665 00:30:51,320 --> 00:30:54,240 Speaker 1: lose streak and winning on Thanksgiving, and then Washington red 666 00:30:54,280 --> 00:30:57,080 Speaker 1: hot three wins straight for them. Like, I think Washington 667 00:30:57,160 --> 00:30:59,720 Speaker 1: can win this. I'm really am curiously about version of 668 00:30:59,720 --> 00:31:02,240 Speaker 1: Derek Are we get he was great on Thanksgiving? Cannot 669 00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:04,440 Speaker 1: take a step back this week. Washington could win him 670 00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:06,680 Speaker 1: and they gotta keep running that football with Antonio Gibson, 671 00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:09,040 Speaker 1: it'll kind of slow down that pass west from and 672 00:31:09,080 --> 00:31:11,280 Speaker 1: got Well he's on the show coming up. Yeah, he's 673 00:31:11,320 --> 00:31:12,960 Speaker 1: on the show coming up. I mean, dude, the pass 674 00:31:13,080 --> 00:31:16,000 Speaker 1: rush has been amazing by Vegas. Let's see if Washington 675 00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:18,000 Speaker 1: can hold him at baby running the football. It looks 676 00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:20,800 Speaker 1: like Darren Waller, Josh Jacobs, and DeShawn Jackson are all 677 00:31:20,840 --> 00:31:22,720 Speaker 1: going to be out for this game. I need a hero, 678 00:31:23,040 --> 00:31:26,040 Speaker 1: Bonnie Tyler and it's and it's Derek Carr. Nothing is 679 00:31:26,040 --> 00:31:27,760 Speaker 1: out of the window for this team. If Derek Carr 680 00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:30,240 Speaker 1: wins this game. This team could go to the playoffs. 681 00:31:31,160 --> 00:31:34,720 Speaker 1: The MVP is still wide a open. Derek Carr, go 682 00:31:34,840 --> 00:31:36,640 Speaker 1: have a day, not just one on an one ballats. 683 00:31:36,680 --> 00:31:38,640 Speaker 1: Don't don't go down out kind of rooting for him 684 00:31:38,680 --> 00:31:40,360 Speaker 1: this game. At least die go get him. I love it. 685 00:31:40,360 --> 00:31:43,000 Speaker 1: Little trivia for you, Schreeger. The Raiders haven't beaten Washington 686 00:31:43,160 --> 00:31:45,800 Speaker 1: since two thousand and five. My friend, who were the 687 00:31:45,880 --> 00:31:49,239 Speaker 1: quarterbacks in that game? Todd Collins, JaMarcus Russell? What are 688 00:31:49,240 --> 00:31:51,440 Speaker 1: you saying? No, there're two guys who have been on 689 00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:54,400 Speaker 1: our show, two friends, I believe, two absolute friends of 690 00:31:54,400 --> 00:32:03,040 Speaker 1: the shows. Yeah, Mark Bout Kerry Collins, Mark Burnew. That's 691 00:32:03,040 --> 00:32:06,600 Speaker 1: a good matchup, expansion teams. I just thought you guys 692 00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:09,360 Speaker 1: like some randomness in your lives today. Okay, the divisional 693 00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:14,040 Speaker 1: matchups continue Ravens Pittsburgh. I mean we should be all 694 00:32:14,040 --> 00:32:16,200 Speaker 1: over this matchup. Are we excited about it? Bill Queil? 695 00:32:17,080 --> 00:32:19,800 Speaker 1: Never give up on the Steel currently, never give up 696 00:32:19,840 --> 00:32:21,560 Speaker 1: on the Steal. The Steel has actually beaten the Ravens 697 00:32:21,560 --> 00:32:23,720 Speaker 1: the last two times they played. I'm here in TJ. 698 00:32:23,840 --> 00:32:26,200 Speaker 1: Watt's not going to be out there. There's a lot 699 00:32:26,280 --> 00:32:28,760 Speaker 1: on the line. Here. This could be Look, this could 700 00:32:28,760 --> 00:32:30,680 Speaker 1: be the end of the administration for number seven. This 701 00:32:30,720 --> 00:32:31,960 Speaker 1: could be end of a lot of things. And that's 702 00:32:31,960 --> 00:32:33,760 Speaker 1: exactly why I think Pittsburgh's gonna win this game. Some 703 00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:35,280 Speaker 1: maps that's special. I don't even know what the line 704 00:32:35,320 --> 00:32:37,080 Speaker 1: is or anything. I think Pitts's gonna win just because 705 00:32:37,080 --> 00:32:40,000 Speaker 1: they never go away, you know it. Sometimes you watch 706 00:32:40,360 --> 00:32:42,959 Speaker 1: a TV show and you're like, it's the same title 707 00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:44,240 Speaker 1: of the show, but I don't know any of this 708 00:32:44,320 --> 00:32:47,240 Speaker 1: cast of characters. In a way, this Raven Steelers game, 709 00:32:47,280 --> 00:32:50,680 Speaker 1: it has the logos, but both these teams are hobbling 710 00:32:50,720 --> 00:32:53,880 Speaker 1: into this thing you mentioned No wat how about none 711 00:32:53,880 --> 00:32:55,520 Speaker 1: of the guys that are missing from the Ravens side. 712 00:32:55,520 --> 00:32:57,360 Speaker 1: They have so many injuries as well. This is going 713 00:32:57,400 --> 00:32:59,400 Speaker 1: to be one of those games. It's twelve to nine 714 00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:01,400 Speaker 1: and it's a four earth quarter. Someone go out there 715 00:33:01,400 --> 00:33:03,000 Speaker 1: and when it it's gonna be an ugly one. But 716 00:33:03,080 --> 00:33:06,200 Speaker 1: this is what that's this is ugly. That's a beautiful 717 00:33:08,160 --> 00:33:10,760 Speaker 1: flug fest. I want to see Lamar Jackson could kind 718 00:33:10,760 --> 00:33:12,680 Speaker 1: of get his mojo back. What was it, four? Three? 719 00:33:12,760 --> 00:33:16,520 Speaker 1: Four interceptions? Last he has to overcome one and again, 720 00:33:16,600 --> 00:33:18,720 Speaker 1: like you know, we look at this Bostonmore Ravers team. 721 00:33:18,880 --> 00:33:22,040 Speaker 1: They're not really relevant. We don't really believe in them 722 00:33:22,080 --> 00:33:23,720 Speaker 1: until they get into the playoffs to see if Lamar 723 00:33:23,720 --> 00:33:25,320 Speaker 1: can get over the hunt. It was the player that 724 00:33:25,360 --> 00:33:32,560 Speaker 1: we like on their different tricks. Is that how it 725 00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:38,960 Speaker 1: says the emphasis you gotta walk away, Peter, you gotta 726 00:33:39,920 --> 00:33:44,160 Speaker 1: number ninety nine. But has been pretty bads have been 727 00:33:44,160 --> 00:33:46,400 Speaker 1: pretty bad over the last nine weeks. They've about twenty 728 00:33:46,400 --> 00:33:48,200 Speaker 1: eight points a game over that span. They have cut 729 00:33:48,200 --> 00:33:50,920 Speaker 1: that number and a half of late over the last 730 00:33:50,960 --> 00:33:52,960 Speaker 1: two games, so they can keep that up. Watch out 731 00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:57,719 Speaker 1: the end of the administration could be from my team. Finally, 732 00:33:57,800 --> 00:34:00,200 Speaker 1: I wonder if I play music at practice, Chase Clay. Well, 733 00:34:00,240 --> 00:34:03,400 Speaker 1: finally you've got Bronchos battling it out against the Chiefs, 734 00:34:03,800 --> 00:34:06,160 Speaker 1: just as your Sunday night football game. People get up 735 00:34:06,200 --> 00:34:07,520 Speaker 1: for this one. What are you looking for? M Rob 736 00:34:08,320 --> 00:34:11,000 Speaker 1: Javonte Williams. You better get the ball early, You better 737 00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:13,080 Speaker 1: get the ball often. They better keep feeding it to 738 00:34:13,200 --> 00:34:15,719 Speaker 1: him when he gets tired, called the time out, when 739 00:34:15,760 --> 00:34:17,400 Speaker 1: the time outs over, put him back in the game. 740 00:34:17,480 --> 00:34:19,560 Speaker 1: Don't mind give him the ball again. Right. They have 741 00:34:19,680 --> 00:34:22,200 Speaker 1: to be able to take Patrick Mahomes off the field, 742 00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:24,719 Speaker 1: slowed his game down just a little bit. Teddy Bridgewater 743 00:34:24,880 --> 00:34:27,120 Speaker 1: is great in play. Actually he's great that you know, 744 00:34:27,200 --> 00:34:29,400 Speaker 1: just dealing and willing and dealing. But that's how you 745 00:34:29,440 --> 00:34:31,640 Speaker 1: get the win. No, you don't. You don't get it 746 00:34:31,680 --> 00:34:33,719 Speaker 1: any other way. You know how many times as Denver 747 00:34:33,800 --> 00:34:38,319 Speaker 1: Broncos and eating Patrick Mahomes zero, they have never beaten him. 748 00:34:38,400 --> 00:34:42,560 Speaker 1: The last Broncos quarterback to beat the Chiefs, Peyton freaking 749 00:34:42,640 --> 00:34:44,520 Speaker 1: Manning was the last guy to do it. There have 750 00:34:44,600 --> 00:34:47,640 Speaker 1: been twelve different guys to have tried and they have 751 00:34:47,719 --> 00:34:49,680 Speaker 1: never done it. I like where Denver's doing and they 752 00:34:49,719 --> 00:34:51,520 Speaker 1: won't quit. But I think it's Casey. You know, last 753 00:34:51,600 --> 00:34:53,680 Speaker 1: year the Buccaneers came out of the bye and they 754 00:34:53,760 --> 00:34:55,880 Speaker 1: quietly put together a few victories and then it was 755 00:34:55,920 --> 00:34:58,560 Speaker 1: just feel like the Chiefs coming out of the bye 756 00:34:59,320 --> 00:35:02,759 Speaker 1: got healthy. Frank Clark's out there. Obviously, we've got all 757 00:35:02,760 --> 00:35:05,000 Speaker 1: the guys at the receiver and now Clyde Edwards Hilaire 758 00:35:05,120 --> 00:35:08,160 Speaker 1: is back and healed. Here come the Chiefs. So watch 759 00:35:08,160 --> 00:35:10,279 Speaker 1: it right now. December is here. We haven't talked about 760 00:35:10,280 --> 00:35:12,520 Speaker 1: them nearly enough to speak. It's weird on the show 761 00:35:12,560 --> 00:35:14,960 Speaker 1: they're quiet and they're going to wrap up Sunday action 762 00:35:15,719 --> 00:35:18,440 Speaker 1: on in week thirteen. All right, time for Will salvahees 763 00:35:18,480 --> 00:35:21,560 Speaker 1: got your news on ze best Goals. What's up? Well, hey, 764 00:35:21,560 --> 00:35:23,040 Speaker 1: it's going to their k and guys. And you just 765 00:35:23,200 --> 00:35:26,560 Speaker 1: mentioned it during that mad minute segment about the Ravens 766 00:35:26,600 --> 00:35:28,680 Speaker 1: and Steelers. I know there was talk that it was 767 00:35:28,719 --> 00:35:31,879 Speaker 1: an ugly game, as slog by now MicroB said, it's 768 00:35:31,880 --> 00:35:35,160 Speaker 1: a beautiful game. On paper. It looks like the Ravens 769 00:35:35,160 --> 00:35:38,279 Speaker 1: are the clear cut favorites after winning two straight while 770 00:35:38,280 --> 00:35:41,880 Speaker 1: the Steelers have dropped two straight. But even quarterback Lamar 771 00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:45,359 Speaker 1: Jackson says, forget about all that other stuff. When these 772 00:35:45,400 --> 00:35:48,959 Speaker 1: two rivals meet and they square off, forget about everything else. 773 00:35:49,360 --> 00:35:50,880 Speaker 1: To me, you've rather than in the meeting if they 774 00:35:50,920 --> 00:35:53,239 Speaker 1: can leave. You know, um, when you in the game 775 00:35:53,280 --> 00:35:55,239 Speaker 1: of Sunday, you know you can't look at opponent, look 776 00:35:55,239 --> 00:35:56,680 Speaker 1: at the record, be like, oh yeah, it's gonna be 777 00:35:56,719 --> 00:35:58,319 Speaker 1: one of these type of games. You can't do that. 778 00:35:58,360 --> 00:35:59,919 Speaker 1: If you're doing that, you know you got the wrong 779 00:36:00,280 --> 00:36:03,000 Speaker 1: st pad football in the league period. For sois arrival 780 00:36:03,040 --> 00:36:05,480 Speaker 1: game and we know it's been if tis game I 781 00:36:05,480 --> 00:36:08,040 Speaker 1: could always is very physical game that could always is 782 00:36:08,360 --> 00:36:14,400 Speaker 1: I'm ready and so are we. Jaguars players, coaches and 783 00:36:14,560 --> 00:36:18,320 Speaker 1: staff recently assembling hundreds of care packages from military service 784 00:36:18,360 --> 00:36:22,760 Speaker 1: members overseas for the holiday season. Partnering with Navy Mutual 785 00:36:22,840 --> 00:36:26,360 Speaker 1: and Saint Michael's Soldiers, they filled boxes with Jaguars swag 786 00:36:26,400 --> 00:36:30,719 Speaker 1: and treats and also wrote personalized thank you cars. West 787 00:36:30,920 --> 00:36:34,040 Speaker 1: forty nine ers also out helping the community as they 788 00:36:34,080 --> 00:36:37,840 Speaker 1: held a virtual mental health event for twenty two youths 789 00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:41,280 Speaker 1: from the James Youth Ranch in Santa Clara. The players 790 00:36:41,280 --> 00:36:45,680 Speaker 1: talking to the kids about mental health, coping mechanisms, frustration management, 791 00:36:45,800 --> 00:36:49,520 Speaker 1: and life lessons. We've had Eric Hanstead on the show 792 00:36:49,600 --> 00:36:52,480 Speaker 1: before and he's been very candidate about the struggles that 793 00:36:52,560 --> 00:36:56,000 Speaker 1: he has faced. And always the clear reminder is you 794 00:36:56,040 --> 00:37:00,719 Speaker 1: are not alone. If you're going through something, definitely reach out. 795 00:37:01,200 --> 00:37:03,879 Speaker 1: And so that is always the reminder that is out 796 00:37:03,920 --> 00:37:06,759 Speaker 1: there from various players around the league. Kyle, thank you, 797 00:37:06,800 --> 00:37:08,920 Speaker 1: will thank you for covering the news. And there's been 798 00:37:08,920 --> 00:37:10,680 Speaker 1: some news in this country this week that has been 799 00:37:10,719 --> 00:37:12,480 Speaker 1: absolutely awful, which is why I want to take a 800 00:37:12,520 --> 00:37:15,080 Speaker 1: moment to talk about Tate Mire. Tate was a high 801 00:37:15,120 --> 00:37:17,600 Speaker 1: school junior at Oxford High School in Michigan, and he 802 00:37:17,640 --> 00:37:19,880 Speaker 1: was one of four killed by a fellow student earlier 803 00:37:19,920 --> 00:37:23,480 Speaker 1: this week, along with Madison Baldwin, Justin Schilling, and Hannah 804 00:37:23,520 --> 00:37:27,719 Speaker 1: Saint Juliana. I mentioned Tate specifically because Tate was like us. 805 00:37:28,200 --> 00:37:32,160 Speaker 1: Tate loved football, and Tate was really good at football. 806 00:37:32,200 --> 00:37:34,760 Speaker 1: He was great at football, playing varsity for the Wildcast 807 00:37:34,840 --> 00:37:37,040 Speaker 1: since he was a freshman. Tate was a tight end 808 00:37:37,040 --> 00:37:39,080 Speaker 1: who had switched from running back to help the team. 809 00:37:39,360 --> 00:37:42,040 Speaker 1: He wore his letter jacket. He liked playing football in 810 00:37:42,040 --> 00:37:44,680 Speaker 1: the rain. He liked to talk about how tough his 811 00:37:44,800 --> 00:37:47,160 Speaker 1: team was, and that's what his fellow students said that 812 00:37:47,239 --> 00:37:49,799 Speaker 1: he was once the tragedy started, when all of the 813 00:37:49,840 --> 00:37:52,880 Speaker 1: students were running away from the gunfire and Tate was 814 00:37:52,960 --> 00:37:55,800 Speaker 1: running towards it, where they say he attempted to disarm 815 00:37:55,880 --> 00:37:59,160 Speaker 1: the shooter. There is a pa announcer for Oxford football, 816 00:37:59,440 --> 00:38:01,960 Speaker 1: and he to the Detroit Free Press this week and 817 00:38:02,000 --> 00:38:05,240 Speaker 1: said that on the day he and Tate's father, Buck Mirror, 818 00:38:05,280 --> 00:38:08,400 Speaker 1: we're searching for Tate at a staging area for survivors. 819 00:38:08,520 --> 00:38:11,400 Speaker 1: When they couldn't find his son, Buck said, you know 820 00:38:11,440 --> 00:38:13,520 Speaker 1: who would go take that guy out right. He knew 821 00:38:13,960 --> 00:38:16,960 Speaker 1: and he was right. Tate Mirror, wherever you are, you 822 00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:21,080 Speaker 1: are the man. You are a badass into all the families, 823 00:38:21,160 --> 00:38:24,720 Speaker 1: to Tate's family, to the mirrors.
