1
00:00:01,400 --> 00:00:02,480
Speaker 1: The volume.

2
00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:12,520
Speaker 2: Championships.

3
00:00:12,520 --> 00:00:15,760
Speaker 1: That should always be the expectation. All right, go ahead,

4
00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:20,320
Speaker 1: Welcome back to the Richard Sherman Podcast. It's been a

5
00:00:20,360 --> 00:00:23,520
Speaker 1: crazy week. The Seattle Seahawks took the game to overtime

6
00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:28,040
Speaker 1: after a really frustrating second half. Some interceptions, had a

7
00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:31,440
Speaker 1: chance and just could not capitalize. Fourth and one that

8
00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:35,480
Speaker 1: the La Rams gotta stop a much need to stop.

9
00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:38,600
Speaker 1: Stafford drove right down the field, scoring a touchdown. I mean,

10
00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:42,400
Speaker 1: this week was full of upsets, but this one, Metchell,

11
00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:43,200
Speaker 1: this one hurts.

12
00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:46,640
Speaker 2: I gotta believe it did, Richard. I mean, this game,

13
00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:50,400
Speaker 2: it looked like the Seattle Seahawks had it, you know.

14
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:52,760
Speaker 2: I mean, the Rams came out. The Rams are a

15
00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:55,240
Speaker 2: good team. Let's start there. They're a very good team.

16
00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:58,800
Speaker 2: Matthew Stafford at the helm, and they're starting to get

17
00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:01,920
Speaker 2: healthy again. But I thought Seattle they needed this game more.

18
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:06,399
Speaker 2: I think the question starts it's a simple question. Why

19
00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:09,600
Speaker 2: do you not take the points in overtime? Richard? That

20
00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:14,200
Speaker 2: was a backbreaking decision on fourth and short. They come

21
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:18,000
Speaker 2: up short and then the Rams go down and inevitably

22
00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:21,280
Speaker 2: score the game winning touchdown. Where's your head at Richard?

23
00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:25,400
Speaker 2: With this decision to not take the points in overtime.

24
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:28,679
Speaker 1: Because you get beat. Taking three points in a game

25
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:30,600
Speaker 1: where you've got Matthew Stafford on the other side, you

26
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:33,920
Speaker 1: get beat. So I support the decision to go for

27
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:36,240
Speaker 1: it on fourth and one because you got one yard

28
00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:38,400
Speaker 1: to go, you had what three opportunities to get it.

29
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:41,560
Speaker 1: I do not. You just watched your old line get decimated,

30
00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:45,240
Speaker 1: get dominated multiple plays in a row, Kennith Walker the

31
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:48,040
Speaker 1: third getting stopped. So come up with a better play

32
00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:51,200
Speaker 1: goal in a situation. That's the only thing that frustrated me.

33
00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:52,880
Speaker 1: It's like, Hey, you're just gonna keep running your head

34
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:55,360
Speaker 1: into a wall and assume he's gonna pop. How about

35
00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:57,600
Speaker 1: you either QB sneak it and trust your center and

36
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:01,560
Speaker 1: trust everybody to push Geno over the pile, or you

37
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:05,120
Speaker 1: roll them out, give him a run pass option another opportunity.

38
00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:07,200
Speaker 1: But I'm with the go for it on that play.

39
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:08,880
Speaker 1: You got to go for the win in that situation

40
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:11,640
Speaker 1: your team needs and you're at home. You got the momentum,

41
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:13,680
Speaker 1: you go for the win, and they just did not

42
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:15,600
Speaker 1: get it done. They did not execute well enough. The

43
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:17,959
Speaker 1: play call was not good enough. So that's just something

44
00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:20,920
Speaker 1: they're gonna have to learn from. But Geno Smith had

45
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:24,480
Speaker 1: a rough day. He had a rough day, got beat up,

46
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:28,120
Speaker 1: you know, another seven sack day. He did throw for

47
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:32,120
Speaker 1: three hundred and sixty three yards three touchdowns, but two

48
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:34,440
Speaker 1: back to back. I mean one of them was a pick.

49
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:38,240
Speaker 1: Six interceptions in the red zone. They were one for

50
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:40,480
Speaker 1: four in the red zone. That is tough to win

51
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:42,639
Speaker 1: ball games when you're one for four in the red zone,

52
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:46,200
Speaker 1: especially division games. You got to execute. You got stopped.

53
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:49,080
Speaker 1: You were two for two on fourth downs before that

54
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:51,239
Speaker 1: fourth and one stop. You gotta find a way to

55
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:52,880
Speaker 1: get that done. You gotta find a way to get

56
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:56,919
Speaker 1: a yard. The defense, they got the turnover Tarik wool

57
00:02:56,919 --> 00:03:01,400
Speaker 1: and got the interception, but they dropped another interception and

58
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:03,959
Speaker 1: they never got to Matthew Stafford. They had no sacks

59
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:07,679
Speaker 1: on the day. That's unacceptable. You cannot go into this game.

60
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:10,280
Speaker 1: This Rams offensive line is in world beaters. They're not

61
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:13,600
Speaker 1: the best offensive line in football. Arguably, You've gone against

62
00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:16,040
Speaker 1: several offensive lines that would be considered better than the

63
00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:18,720
Speaker 1: one that you just faced, and you've gotten much more

64
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:20,799
Speaker 1: pressure on the quarterback to not be able to get

65
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:23,320
Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford on the ground. And not that there weren't opportunities.

66
00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 1: There were times they came. Scott Freed, they got to him.

67
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:29,920
Speaker 1: But Matthew Stafford is in the pocket, he's ducking under arms,

68
00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:33,040
Speaker 1: he's slipping away, he's put throwing the ball away. He's

69
00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:35,720
Speaker 1: not allowing the people get to him. But again, you

70
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:38,360
Speaker 1: got to give the special teams for the Seattle Seahawks credit.

71
00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:40,240
Speaker 1: They had a block punt, but you have to again

72
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:42,960
Speaker 1: be able to capitalize on these things and get points.

73
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:46,000
Speaker 1: They just weren't able to do it. And in overtime

74
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:48,800
Speaker 1: you got to play to Wooland where he had a

75
00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:52,400
Speaker 1: chance to intercept the football on to DeMarcus Robinson coming

76
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:54,960
Speaker 1: across the Was it Tramarcus Robinson or was it I

77
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:58,280
Speaker 1: think it was just and coming across on an over route.

78
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:01,760
Speaker 1: But he just waits for the ball instead of just

79
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:04,680
Speaker 1: taking a step forward or two and and and running

80
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:06,960
Speaker 1: into the past. You know in this in this league,

81
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:09,360
Speaker 1: you can't wait for anything. You wait for anything, hungry

82
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:12,600
Speaker 1: dogs will come take the football. And that's what happened. Uh,

83
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:16,080
Speaker 1: And then again Stafford pushes the ball down the field

84
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:19,479
Speaker 1: to win the game. No fear, no, no, that's why

85
00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:21,120
Speaker 1: you don't kick the field goal, because what is the

86
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:23,039
Speaker 1: field goal gonna do for you? Right there? They're gonna

87
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:25,920
Speaker 1: go for the juggular. They didn't need a touchdown right there.

88
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:27,480
Speaker 1: They could have won with the field goal. But you're

89
00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:29,479
Speaker 1: playing against Matthew Stafford. If they get the look that

90
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:31,800
Speaker 1: they they want, if they get the covers they're looking for,

91
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:33,919
Speaker 1: they're gonna push the ball down the field. He's shown

92
00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 1: that time and time again, and he showed it this time.

93
00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:41,040
Speaker 1: Great pass by him, great catch by DeMarcus Robinson, one

94
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:43,800
Speaker 1: hand catch. He pushed off on Tarik Wooland. But they

95
00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:45,840
Speaker 1: never call that in the National Football League. I have

96
00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:49,240
Speaker 1: yet to see them call a receiver pushing off uh

97
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:51,880
Speaker 1: And for the game, and that's the game. That's the

98
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:54,920
Speaker 1: ball game. You know. The Seahawks gotta gotta buy this

99
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:57,479
Speaker 1: week to to sit and think about it and look

100
00:04:57,480 --> 00:04:58,960
Speaker 1: at the film and see what they're gonna change and

101
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:02,599
Speaker 1: what they're gonna adjust. But the offensive line continues to

102
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:04,640
Speaker 1: be an issue, and it's going to continue to be

103
00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:06,840
Speaker 1: an issue until something gets fixed. And it's really the

104
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:09,560
Speaker 1: interior offensive line. But what do you do? You don't

105
00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:12,960
Speaker 1: there aren't any easy answers or quick solutions. So I

106
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:14,039
Speaker 1: don't know where you go from here.

107
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:16,080
Speaker 2: Well, that's just a question. I mean, where do you

108
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:18,560
Speaker 2: go from here? This division is up for grabs. I

109
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:21,720
Speaker 2: mean it's anyone's game right now. I mean the Rams

110
00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:24,680
Speaker 2: climb to five hundred. I mean Seattle, you know, they

111
00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:28,440
Speaker 2: were they were looking good to start this season off, Richard,

112
00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:32,320
Speaker 2: and now they're they're in the last place of the division.

113
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:34,839
Speaker 2: And I mean you see the Arizona Cardinals beat the

114
00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:37,720
Speaker 2: Bears at home. You know, obviously the forty nine ers

115
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:41,800
Speaker 2: are getting healthier. What is it gonna take for Seattle

116
00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:45,640
Speaker 2: to gain ground and restake their claim of this division?

117
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:49,320
Speaker 2: Because really, Richard, it is up for grabs still, despite

118
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:50,280
Speaker 2: this loss.

119
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:51,600
Speaker 1: They're gonna have to put They're gonna have put more

120
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:53,919
Speaker 1: pressure on a quarterback. You know, they have a really

121
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:57,080
Speaker 1: talented defense and defensive line, and they got to get

122
00:05:57,080 --> 00:05:59,680
Speaker 1: home and they got to finish the job. You know,

123
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:03,440
Speaker 1: they're getting home, Leonard Williams getting home. You could see

124
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:06,360
Speaker 1: all the talent they have on that defensive line. Guys

125
00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:10,520
Speaker 1: doing a great job. Jaron Reid. You know, they're putting

126
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:12,760
Speaker 1: pressure on the quarterback, but they're not getting home and

127
00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:15,560
Speaker 1: finishing the job. And that's that's costing a lot of plays.

128
00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:18,920
Speaker 1: They gotta protect the quarterback. I mean, I don't know

129
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:20,400
Speaker 1: how many more times we could say we can get

130
00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:22,600
Speaker 1: on here every single week and be like, hey, protect quarterback,

131
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:24,919
Speaker 1: Protect quarterback. I don't know if anybody's getting hit or

132
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:28,120
Speaker 1: sack more than Geno Smith right now. And Gino you know,

133
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:30,279
Speaker 1: there are times he could have made better decisions with

134
00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:32,640
Speaker 1: the football. He's trying to trying to make things happen,

135
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:34,760
Speaker 1: and at the end of the game he had some

136
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:38,240
Speaker 1: incredible throws to JSN. He did used to count really

137
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:41,040
Speaker 1: well throughout this game. He made sure that you know,

138
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:43,960
Speaker 1: he capitalized on the free plays. A touchdown to Tyler

139
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:47,200
Speaker 1: Lockett JSN, I mean on a fourth and five, a

140
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:50,039
Speaker 1: dime of a pass to really get them into overtime,

141
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:52,440
Speaker 1: and a touchdown pass at the end to push the

142
00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:56,400
Speaker 1: game to ot a big stop by the defense. But again,

143
00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:59,359
Speaker 1: those those not executing in the red zone. That's what

144
00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:01,520
Speaker 1: they're doing them. In a game like this, you look

145
00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:03,240
Speaker 1: back and those are the plays where you're like, man,

146
00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:06,760
Speaker 1: that's points. Whether it's three or six or seven, you

147
00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:07,400
Speaker 1: got to get.

148
00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:10,720
Speaker 2: Them, no question about it. I mean, the weapons, the

149
00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:15,000
Speaker 2: offensive weapons, are in house in Seattle, JSN Jackson Smith

150
00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:18,440
Speaker 2: and jig Ball proved himself he is he's a playmaker

151
00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:20,720
Speaker 2: in this league. I mean we've talked about it for

152
00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:24,240
Speaker 2: the last two years. I mean today was his day.

153
00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:26,840
Speaker 2: I mean he showed himself with the out DK Metcalf

154
00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:29,440
Speaker 2: on the field with seven catches for oneint eighty and

155
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:33,560
Speaker 2: two touchdowns. This team has offensive playmakers. The question is

156
00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:36,880
Speaker 2: can they avoid the big mistakes. I mean throwing the

157
00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:40,200
Speaker 2: one hundred and three yard interception return for a touchdown

158
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:44,480
Speaker 2: to Cameron Kitchens. I mean, that's that is a backbreaker

159
00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:47,400
Speaker 2: for this team because Seattle had this game in hand.

160
00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:51,840
Speaker 2: And when you give Matthew Stafford opportunities. I've seen it, Richard.

161
00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:54,600
Speaker 2: I lived it here in Detroit. When you give this

162
00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:57,800
Speaker 2: man opportunities, it's not going to work out for you,

163
00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:01,480
Speaker 2: and it worked in his favor today. The LA Rams

164
00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:05,160
Speaker 2: they're getting healthy. They look very good. If they can

165
00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:08,040
Speaker 2: get pooking, Nakula backing up and cooking, I mean, this

166
00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:10,760
Speaker 2: is a team that could easily compete for this division.

167
00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:14,320
Speaker 2: What do you think of the Rams going for Richard?

168
00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:16,760
Speaker 2: Because I know you have a stake in the forty

169
00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:18,520
Speaker 2: nine ers I know you want to see the forty

170
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:21,280
Speaker 2: nine ers get healthy, but it's got to cause some

171
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:24,200
Speaker 2: a little element of concern for you seeing the Rams

172
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:25,200
Speaker 2: also getting healthy.

173
00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:28,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean not for me particularly, but it is

174
00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:31,960
Speaker 1: for the division because you know, as they get healthy.

175
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:33,920
Speaker 1: I mean a few weeks ago, you thought it was

176
00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:36,720
Speaker 1: a fire sale. You know, you hear about Pooking Akoua

177
00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:41,360
Speaker 1: being available, Cooper Cup being available, all these guys, and

178
00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:43,240
Speaker 1: they pretty much did this a lot of the times

179
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:46,240
Speaker 1: without hookin Nakula, who went out, who got ejected from

180
00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:49,400
Speaker 1: the game for throwing a punch. I mean, this league

181
00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:52,960
Speaker 1: is just getting ridiculously soft in so many different ways,

182
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:55,680
Speaker 1: and it's just laughable what this game has become. I mean,

183
00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:58,640
Speaker 1: you saw it in your Detroit Lions game. They eject

184
00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:01,200
Speaker 1: Brian Branch for a to helmet hit when he's trying

185
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:05,040
Speaker 1: to dislodge the football from the player. I mean, that's

186
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:08,040
Speaker 1: what this game was built on. It. I know, everybody's like, oh, well,

187
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:11,240
Speaker 1: you know, we're evolving, and we're all all evolution isn't

188
00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:13,360
Speaker 1: a great thing, and that's a bad part of the

189
00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:15,720
Speaker 1: game that should be reviewed. If you're gonna give the

190
00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:19,640
Speaker 1: fifteen yard penalty give the fifteen yard penalty. Cool, But

191
00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:22,680
Speaker 1: to eject the guy from the game, thinking, oh man,

192
00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:27,119
Speaker 1: he went too high. He has literally a millisecond to decide,

193
00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:30,520
Speaker 1: to make his decision and strike, and when he does that,

194
00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:33,400
Speaker 1: a receiver can move up and down and around and

195
00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:35,559
Speaker 1: left and right, and you just have to aim for

196
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:37,640
Speaker 1: where you think he's gonna be. And that's what he did.

197
00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:40,600
Speaker 1: I thought the hit was fine, maybe a little high.

198
00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:42,640
Speaker 1: If it's high, you flag him. But to kick him

199
00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:45,560
Speaker 1: out of the game and really can affect. He's one

200
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:49,440
Speaker 1: of your big time playmakers amongst the league leaders and interceptions,

201
00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:51,840
Speaker 1: and you kick him out of a ball game early

202
00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:54,520
Speaker 1: in a divisional game, you know you could if the

203
00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:57,080
Speaker 1: Lions lose that game, you could obviously point to that

204
00:09:57,120 --> 00:09:58,520
Speaker 1: being a huge factor.

205
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:01,640
Speaker 2: No question about it. Richard, you speak for me. I

206
00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:05,280
Speaker 2: think you speak for the vast majority of football fans.

207
00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:09,760
Speaker 2: This game it's gotten ridiculous. For defensive players, How do

208
00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:14,120
Speaker 2: you even think about hitting somebody? You know, the roller

209

Speaker 2: coaster of an NFL season is moving right along, and

239
00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:54,720
Speaker 2: I mean, this is a huge game in Green Bay,

240
00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:59,920
Speaker 2: right the elements have played Detroit has not left are

241
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:03,840
Speaker 2: artificial turf environment all season. Everyone's talking about the rain

242
00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:07,240
Speaker 2: and Lambeau. Everyone's talking about the playing surface in Lambeau,

243
00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:10,320
Speaker 2: the cleats being shifted up. I mean, Dan Campbell said it,

244
00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:13,240
Speaker 2: what's the most important factor of this game? The shoes

245
00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:19,840
Speaker 2: you wear? And Detroit came out and Richard, I'm a detroitter.

246
00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:22,600
Speaker 2: I'm fired up. You're gonna have to talk me off

247
00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:25,160
Speaker 2: this pedestal that I'm on. When I look at the

248
00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:30,400
Speaker 2: Detroit Lions, I see a super Bowl team and maybe

249
00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:33,000
Speaker 2: I'm nuts. But when you go on the road in

250
00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:35,440
Speaker 2: your division and we've talked about this the last couple

251
00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:40,280
Speaker 2: of weeks. These divisional games are so crucial, right, They're

252
00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:43,880
Speaker 2: so crucial that they they make or break teams. And

253
00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:47,400
Speaker 2: Detroit just was womping on Green Bay twenty what was it,

254
00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:50,040
Speaker 2: twenty four to three at half. I know they didn't

255
00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:54,040
Speaker 2: score after the first half, But Richard, I gotta know, like,

256
00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:56,520
Speaker 2: where's your head at with the Detroit Lions team? Because

257
00:12:56,559 --> 00:12:58,959
Speaker 2: I could talk and talk and talk and talk forever

258
00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:02,120
Speaker 2: about how power I feel about this Lion's team. Where's

259
00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:02,719
Speaker 2: your head at?

260
00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:05,319
Speaker 1: I think they're an incredible team. I think they're one

261
00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:07,760
Speaker 1: of the best teams, obviously the best team in the NFC.

262
00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:11,640
Speaker 1: I just I have questions about, you know, long term

263
00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:14,080
Speaker 1: and defensive. I think they have to make a move

264
00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:16,760
Speaker 1: for a pass Russer. I've heard they're in the market for,

265
00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:19,720
Speaker 1: you know, Zadarius Smith and a number of other guys

266
00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:22,480
Speaker 1: who could really help. Now you get one of those guys,

267
00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:25,559
Speaker 1: you know, to help put some more pressure on these quarterbacks,

268
00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:28,520
Speaker 1: then I'm all on board, which eventual because that's the

269
00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:30,480
Speaker 1: thing when you get into the playoffs, you get into

270
00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:33,000
Speaker 1: these type all games. Who can get to the quarterback,

271
00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:35,040
Speaker 1: who can get to the quarterback successfully. You have a

272
00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:38,520
Speaker 1: really talented secondary, but nobody can cover forever. So if

273
00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:41,319
Speaker 1: guys get more time, you start to find holes and zones,

274
00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:43,480
Speaker 1: you start to find holes. But right now they're doing

275
00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:46,800
Speaker 1: a phenomenal job. They held Jordan Love to two hundred

276
00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:48,720
Speaker 1: and seventy three yards twenty three of thirty nine. He

277
00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:51,280
Speaker 1: was he got some garbage time yards in there, so

278
00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:53,520
Speaker 1: we're not going to count all that. Josh Jacobs was

279
00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:56,240
Speaker 1: ever able to have some success on the ground thirteen

280
00:13:56,320 --> 00:14:00,719
Speaker 1: carries for ninety five yards. But I thought Kirby Joseph's

281
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:03,240
Speaker 1: interception was an incredible play. I mean, to just be

282
00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:05,559
Speaker 1: in the right place at the right time, to to

283
00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:08,320
Speaker 1: to take your time, to not overrush, to have an

284
00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:11,640
Speaker 1: awareness of where you are. We just talked about what

285
00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:15,319
Speaker 1: they did to Brian Branch, which was a ridiculous, ridiculous

286
00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:17,920
Speaker 1: abuse of power in the National Football League to kick

287
00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:21,840
Speaker 1: a player out in the game for nothing, egregious nothing.

288
00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:25,160
Speaker 1: He didn't do it on purpose, he didn't do anything

289
00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:27,520
Speaker 1: that you would you would say, oh man, that was

290
00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:29,440
Speaker 1: a dirty play. It was a football play, and if

291
00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:31,600
Speaker 1: it's a football player, I don't I don't like football

292
00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:35,400
Speaker 1: players getting ejected for it. And that's that's something that

293
00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:38,600
Speaker 1: that has to be reviewed from New York or talked

294
00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:41,320
Speaker 1: about because if you do that in a playoff game

295
00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:43,480
Speaker 1: to an All Pro or Pro Bowl player, you know

296
00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:45,400
Speaker 1: who can have a drastic effect on the game. It's

297
00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:47,400
Speaker 1: too much gambling going on. It's too many, too much

298
00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:49,800
Speaker 1: at stake in these ball games where people would start

299
00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:53,280
Speaker 1: to say, hey man, they're starting to really they're starting

300
00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:55,480
Speaker 1: to cheat, they're starting to cheat. I mean defense, you

301
00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:58,640
Speaker 1: always feel like you getting cheated, but I mean that

302
00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:01,040
Speaker 1: kind of play, you make it possible. So you're saying, hey,

303
00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:02,840
Speaker 1: just let the guys catch the ball, because if they

304
00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:05,200
Speaker 1: start taking guy's legs out and they start landing on

305
00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:07,760
Speaker 1: their heads and breaking their necks and things like that,

306
00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:09,600
Speaker 1: then it's going to be a whole different issue. So

307
00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:11,480
Speaker 1: they're trying to hit guys in the chest, and you

308
00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:14,560
Speaker 1: saw Kobe Bryant had a great play against the Rams

309
00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:16,280
Speaker 1: where you hit the guy right in the chest, but

310
00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:18,680
Speaker 1: his helmet hit the other guy's helmet a little bit.

311
00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:20,960
Speaker 1: But if you find a way for a guy to

312
00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:25,000
Speaker 1: lead his body without his head, then I'd be all ears.

313
00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:27,440
Speaker 1: But I told when I sent the competition to meet

314
00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:31,400
Speaker 1: in mini meetings, and they had these conversations. I said, hey,

315
00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:34,000
Speaker 1: I want all you guys who are making these rules,

316
00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:36,240
Speaker 1: I want you to walk towards the wall, and I

317
00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:38,080
Speaker 1: want you to walk towards it, and I want you

318
00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:39,920
Speaker 1: to do it with your head back. And they couldn't

319
00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:43,000
Speaker 1: do it, Mitchell. They were stumbling, they were falling. I said, okay,

320
00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:45,440
Speaker 1: now lean your head forward and walk wherever you want,

321
00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:47,880
Speaker 1: what direction you want to go in, And they realized, hey,

322
00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:50,560
Speaker 1: you're led by your head. No matter to run full speed,

323
00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:53,480
Speaker 1: your head's going to be at the forefront. So if

324
00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:55,480
Speaker 1: you're talking about striking somebody, you put a foot in

325
00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:57,600
Speaker 1: the ground, you put your shoulder out front. But I'm

326
00:15:57,680 --> 00:16:01,440
Speaker 1: leaning my shoulder and my head's gonna look at this Mitchell. Yeah, yeah,

327
00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:04,480
Speaker 1: you measure it. My head, my shoulder, it's gonna hit

328
00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:06,120
Speaker 1: the jam there at the same time. All my head's

329
00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:08,800
Speaker 1: gonna go first. So if you some of the things

330
00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:11,240
Speaker 1: people say, like oh, he's leading with his head, like

331
00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:13,920
Speaker 1: get the head out the game. You can't unless you

332
00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:16,680
Speaker 1: tell these guys to stop leading their body. And that's

333
00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:19,200
Speaker 1: that's the part of the game I hate. But this

334
00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:23,520
Speaker 1: Lion's team looks phenomenal. Uh. Their culture, their coaching looks good.

335
00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:27,160
Speaker 1: Even when they when they face some adversity, they're overcoming

336
00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:29,720
Speaker 1: it really quickly. They got a tough game against the

337
00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:34,400
Speaker 1: Houston Texans next week. We trust just on TNF it's

338
00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:37,720
Speaker 1: in Houston. I think they're a frustrated team. They're they're

339
00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:40,640
Speaker 1: beat up at the receiver position. They're supposed to be

340
00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:43,760
Speaker 1: getting Nico Collins back off the hamstring injury. So I'm

341
00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:46,000
Speaker 1: looking forward to that game. But right now, there are

342
00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:48,480
Speaker 1: very few teams that can consider themselves better than the

343
00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:49,200
Speaker 1: Detroit Lions.

344
00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:52,760
Speaker 2: Right now, there's and I appreciate you saying that, Richard.

345
00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:55,360
Speaker 2: Let's talk a little bit about Jared Goff before he

346
00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:58,040
Speaker 2: turned the page on this Detroit Lion team, because his

347
00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:01,440
Speaker 2: last two games on paper have looked underwhelming. I mean,

348
00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:03,360
Speaker 2: what do you have eighty three passing yards in a

349
00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:06,720
Speaker 2: fifty two to ten or fifty to fourteen win against Titans.

350
00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:10,440
Speaker 2: Now one hundred and forty five passing yards against these

351
00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:13,359
Speaker 2: Green Bay Packers. But then you look at the fact

352
00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:17,200
Speaker 2: that this guy, his completion percentage is off the charts. Richard,

353
00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:21,240
Speaker 2: where do you put him? I mean, I know Lamar

354
00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:24,280
Speaker 2: Jackson's been having a hell of a year, But is

355
00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:27,600
Speaker 2: he a realistic MVP candidate right now? The way he's

356
00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:29,880
Speaker 2: playing football for this Detroit Lion football team.

357
00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:33,400
Speaker 1: If you're just looking at the efficiency numbers metro, you've

358
00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:36,119
Speaker 1: got to give him at least a fair look because

359
00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:38,720
Speaker 1: it's ridiculous. I mean, he's breaking records left and right,

360
00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:43,159
Speaker 1: he's been so efficient, not turning the ball over at

361
00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:46,239
Speaker 1: a high rate. But then you start to look at

362
00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:48,880
Speaker 1: the overall numbers and he's just not thrown for very

363
00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:53,000
Speaker 1: many yards. I think he's fourteenth right now. In yards,

364
00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:57,040
Speaker 1: he's ninth, and touchdowns and those numbers for an MVP

365
00:17:57,320 --> 00:17:58,760
Speaker 1: just aren't going to get it done. And you know,

366
00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:00,720
Speaker 1: we talked about this last year when we were talking

367
00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:02,840
Speaker 1: about Lamar Jackson, where his numbers stacked up in the

368
00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:05,640
Speaker 1: National Football League, and you know, I wasn't I wasn't

369
00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:08,760
Speaker 1: feeling it. But this year it's totally different. He looks

370
00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:13,040
Speaker 1: like his twenty nineteen MVP season. So if he's having

371
00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:15,440
Speaker 1: a year like that, Josh Allen's also having a phenomenal

372
00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:18,000
Speaker 1: year where he's throwing for two thousand yards and he's

373
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:21,280
Speaker 1: got seventeen touchdowns, only two interceptions, both coming in the

374
00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:25,200
Speaker 1: last two weeks. They're winning ball games. They're seven and

375
00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:29,000
Speaker 1: two right now. And so Lamar Jackson's number one in

376
00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:31,560
Speaker 1: the league in passing yards. I think he's number one.

377
00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:33,480
Speaker 1: Are He's second in the league in passing yards, number

378
00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:36,880
Speaker 1: one in QBR, second in touchdown passes with twenty only

379
00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:40,760
Speaker 1: two interceptions. Those are MVP numbers. I mean, he almost

380
00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:43,480
Speaker 1: has as many touchdown passes right now, nine games into

381
00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:46,240
Speaker 1: the season as he did over sixteen games last year.

382
00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:48,080
Speaker 1: And that's what when I was saying that last year,

383
00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:50,040
Speaker 1: the oh, you're a hater, You're a hater. I'm not

384
00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:52,440
Speaker 1: no hater. I just know what MVP numbers look like,

385
00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:55,080
Speaker 1: and he has them. These are MVP numbers. He has

386
00:18:55,119 --> 00:18:58,000
Speaker 1: twenty touchdown passes nine games into the season. He had

387
00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:02,120
Speaker 1: twenty four last year the whole season. And that's this.

388
00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:06,000
Speaker 1: He's running away with MVP. And has Jared Golf played

389
00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:09,200
Speaker 1: an amazing and winning football and done a phenomenal job,

390
00:19:09,280 --> 00:19:11,240
Speaker 1: no question about it. But he's gonna have to throw

391
00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:13,520
Speaker 1: for more touchdowns. He's gonna have to throw for more

392
00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:15,680
Speaker 1: yards if he wants to get in this conversation now,

393
00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:17,600
Speaker 1: if he's holding a Trophy at the end. I don't

394
00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:20,080
Speaker 1: think he cares, Mitchell, But if we're talking about the

395
00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:22,840
Speaker 1: MVP conversation, you've got to get in some more numbers.

396
00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:25,679
Speaker 2: I'm with you. And let's talk about Baltimore a little bit,

397
00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:28,639
Speaker 2: because this was that measuring stick game I think for

398
00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:32,040
Speaker 2: the Denver Broncos and they go on the road into

399
00:19:32,119 --> 00:19:35,560
Speaker 2: Baltimore and they get shell ACKed. I don't know if

400
00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:40,080
Speaker 2: any other word's gonna exemplify their showing losing by thirty

401
00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:43,800
Speaker 2: one points on the road and Baltimore. I mean, for them,

402
00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:47,520
Speaker 2: this goes to show they're a team, they're a force

403
00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:50,520
Speaker 2: to be reckoned with us and in this AFC, and

404
00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:52,960
Speaker 2: I know their kryptonite is the Kansas City Chiefs. I

405
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:57,159
Speaker 2: know everyone's kryptonite in the AFC is Patrick Mahomes. You know,

406
00:19:57,480 --> 00:20:02,399
Speaker 2: Richard Baltimore looks down. I'm good. I mean, what's the

407
00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:06,760
Speaker 2: ceiling for this team? Can they get past Patrick Mahomes

408
00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:09,520
Speaker 2: in this Kansas City Chiefs team? Do you believe in

409
00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:11,240
Speaker 2: this Baltimore Ravens team right now?

410
00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:15,760
Speaker 1: What I believe? And they got two MVP candidates because

411
00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:19,520
Speaker 1: you look at what Derrick Henry's done. He's got you know,

412
00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:22,840
Speaker 1: third running back in league history with a thousand yards

413
00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:26,560
Speaker 1: and ten touchdowns through nine games and the football season.

414
00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:29,560
Speaker 1: The last two won the MVP. It was Sean Alexander

415
00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:32,240
Speaker 1: and Terrell Davis. And you look at Lamar Jackson. I

416
00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:35,919
Speaker 1: just talked about him. He had his fourth his fourth

417
00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:38,960
Speaker 1: game with a perfect passer rating, most of any player

418
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:42,800
Speaker 1: with fifteen plus attempts. He's playing out of his mind

419
00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:44,840
Speaker 1: right now. I mean he's playing elite. He's pushing the

420
00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:47,000
Speaker 1: ball down the field. We talked about his passing numbers.

421
00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:49,000
Speaker 1: He's running the ball really well. I think he has

422
00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:51,399
Speaker 1: five hundred and five rush yards as well to go

423
00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:54,680
Speaker 1: along with his twenty three hundred or so passing yards.

424
00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:57,560
Speaker 1: And he's really efficient. Mit, he's not turning the ball

425
00:20:57,600 --> 00:21:00,640
Speaker 1: over at all. He's putting his team in phenomen no positions.

426
00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:04,360
Speaker 1: They're scoring a ton of points every single week. They

427
00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:07,720
Speaker 1: look incredibly formidable. But then you look up and you're like, wait,

428
00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:12,120
Speaker 1: they lost to the Browns and the Raiders, Like how why? Why?

429
00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:14,440
Speaker 1: You can understand the Kansas City Chiefs loss this first

430
00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:16,280
Speaker 1: game of the season, A lot of chaos is the

431
00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:18,679
Speaker 1: Super Bowl champions. But then you look at at the

432
00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:21,359
Speaker 1: Browns and the Raiders. You're like, hey, I don't know.

433
00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:23,679
Speaker 1: You know, it leaves It leaves a lot for the

434
00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:27,320
Speaker 1: imagination because now I need to see you against your division.

435
00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:29,600
Speaker 1: I don't you know, I need. I still need. There

436
00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:31,359
Speaker 1: are still things I need to see from this team

437
00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:35,320
Speaker 1: because of those losses. Are they a great team? Has

438
00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:38,800
Speaker 1: a defense played incredibly yes, sir, yes, sir to hold

439
00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:41,560
Speaker 1: the Denver Broncos to ten points to score forty one

440
00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:44,600
Speaker 1: points on this defense that has been amongst the league leaders.

441
00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:48,800
Speaker 1: Vans Joseph has had these boys hunting all season, playing

442
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:53,600
Speaker 1: really really high level defensive football. Bo Knicks has had

443
00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:56,240
Speaker 1: really good games over the past three or four ball games.

444
00:21:56,480 --> 00:21:59,960
Speaker 1: And and in this game, I mean he was held

445
00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:02,400
Speaker 1: to nineteen of thirty three to two hundred and twenty

446
00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:06,840
Speaker 1: three yards. He had the reception touchdown on the Philly

447
00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:10,520
Speaker 1: special play. But he's been feeding Courtland Sutton, who had

448
00:22:10,520 --> 00:22:13,920
Speaker 1: another one hundred yard game, but they held him in check,

449
00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:18,360
Speaker 1: forced them to throw an interception. They I mean, they

450
00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:20,919
Speaker 1: had their way with that defense trying to play man coverage.

451
00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:23,280
Speaker 1: They could not stop Zay Flowers five catches for one

452
00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:27,560
Speaker 1: twenty seven and two tous. This team looks to be

453
00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:31,520
Speaker 1: a very formidable team, but those concerning head scratching losses

454
00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:33,800
Speaker 1: are the reason I can't put them up, you know,

455
00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:37,879
Speaker 1: above three in my power rankings, because you're losing the

456
00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:40,520
Speaker 1: teams who just aren't playing great football right now. You know,

457
00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:43,600
Speaker 1: you lost to Gardner Minshew and you lost to Jamis

458
00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:46,160
Speaker 1: who had a really good game. And you know, obviously

459
00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:48,639
Speaker 1: we saw the chaos at the end, but they just

460
00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:51,000
Speaker 1: got their butts kicked this week, and so you know,

461
00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:53,000
Speaker 1: you think, oh man, they're about to turn it around,

462
00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:56,000
Speaker 1: but then they did. So what they do this week

463
00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:59,200
Speaker 1: and Thursday on Thursday night in front of us in

464
00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:01,880
Speaker 1: Baltimore's really gonna give me what I need to see.

465
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:05,080
Speaker 1: Because the Cincinnati Bengals aren't a great team, but offensively,

466
00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:07,879
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow just threw for five touchdowns. This defense is

467
00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:10,639
Speaker 1: coming along as they always do around this time in

468
00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:13,040
Speaker 1: the season. They're three and one over their last four.

469
00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:16,640
Speaker 1: So you look and you say, okay, Baltimore is your

470
00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:19,879
Speaker 1: time blow out a division opponent and let us all know,

471
00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:21,840
Speaker 1: put us all on notice. So if they were able

472
00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:24,440
Speaker 1: to do that, then they get to say that now

473
00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:26,720
Speaker 1: I still need them to do more.

474
00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:30,359
Speaker 2: No question, I know you've got to be fired up

475
00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:33,399
Speaker 2: to be going to Baltimore on Thursday, Richard. It's gonna

476
00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:36,040
Speaker 2: be a huge game, and it's gonna be another huge

477
00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:41,359
Speaker 2: opportunity for Lamar Jackson. He is our player in Primetime,

478
00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:44,040
Speaker 2: brought to you by our friends and partners at Brightling.

479
00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:47,960
Speaker 2: We've already talked about him enough, Richard. I'm sporting my

480
00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:51,680
Speaker 2: Honolulu Blue Brightling. I know you got ears on two,

481
00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:54,720
Speaker 2: and trust me, I'm gonna be giving this to you

482
00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:57,680
Speaker 2: to wear a sideline when you're in Detroit, the Honolulu

483
00:23:57,720 --> 00:24:00,840
Speaker 2: Blue Brightling when in Detroit for the Thursday night game

484
00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:04,359
Speaker 2: against the Pack. But this Lamar Jackson, if he keeps

485
00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:08,880
Speaker 2: going the way he is, he's deserving of a repeat MVP.

486
00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:13,520
Speaker 2: He is our players in Primetime, brought to you by

487
00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:16,160
Speaker 2: our friends at Brightling. Make sure you guys go check

488
00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:20,520
Speaker 2: them out. They've got one hundred watches each for each team.

489
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:22,720
Speaker 2: You guys got to look at him. Even if you're

490
00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:24,480
Speaker 2: not going to buy him, at least look at him.

491
00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:26,720
Speaker 2: They're beautiful. They're beautiful pieces.

492
00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:29,520
Speaker 1: Richard. Yeah, Mitchell, we're going to have a hard time

493
00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:31,800
Speaker 1: not giving him player a month this month. I mean,

494
00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:35,720
Speaker 1: he's over the last five games, Lamar Jackson fourteen touchdown passes,

495
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:40,320
Speaker 1: one interception, and just high level football, high level football.

496
00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:42,800
Speaker 1: They're running it, they're passing and making great decisions, fourth

497
00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:48,000
Speaker 1: down efficiency at perfect passer rating this game. I mean,

498
00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:51,359
Speaker 1: what can't you say about him? The leading candidate for

499
00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:54,480
Speaker 1: MVP right now. And we all talked about these guys

500
00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:56,800
Speaker 1: throwing all these touchdown passes. We talked about Jordan Love

501
00:24:56,880 --> 00:24:59,400
Speaker 1: and Patrick Mahons, but they're throwing a lot of interceptions

502
00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:02,520
Speaker 1: right now. They're one and two in the league in

503
00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:05,920
Speaker 1: interceptions thrown. And even Baker Mayfield, who's leading the league

504
00:25:05,920 --> 00:25:09,399
Speaker 1: in passing yards, are passing touchdowns and I want to

505
00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:12,000
Speaker 1: say yards. It's just throwing a ton of interceptions. So

506
00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:14,080
Speaker 1: you think you would think, oh man, they got a

507
00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:17,720
Speaker 1: high risk, high reward kind of deal. But Lamar Jackson's

508
00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:20,800
Speaker 1: doing it, and so is Josh Allen very efficiently.

509
00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:26,840
Speaker 2: Let's go to Atlanta, Richard. Let's talk about the sinking

510
00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:29,920
Speaker 2: ship that is the Dallas Cowboys. I don't know if

511
00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:32,520
Speaker 2: many people saw this coming into the season. They're three

512
00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:37,160
Speaker 2: and five right now, and I think, frankly, they look horrendous.

513
00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:41,359
Speaker 2: The Atlanta Falcons are six and three. I mean, what's

514
00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:43,840
Speaker 2: the bigger story here in your eyes? The fact that

515
00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:45,960
Speaker 2: Atlanta is six and three are the fact that the

516
00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:49,639
Speaker 2: Dallas Cowboys are an abysmal three and five.

517
00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:52,520
Speaker 1: I would say the Dallas Cowboys because I think a

518
00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:54,280
Speaker 1: lot of people, you know, we're getting a lot of

519
00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:57,080
Speaker 1: credit to the moves that Atlanta made throughout the offseason.

520
00:25:57,119 --> 00:25:59,639
Speaker 1: I think, you know, people were criticizing them about the

521
00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:02,879
Speaker 1: Michael Pennick's move and drafting him in the first round.

522
00:26:02,920 --> 00:26:05,520
Speaker 1: But he's the future of the franchise and they believe that.

523
00:26:05,560 --> 00:26:08,640
Speaker 1: But they have the current right now and Kirk Cousins,

524
00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:12,199
Speaker 1: and I think he's he's enjoying himself. He's adopting the

525
00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:15,720
Speaker 1: Atlanta culture and the Atlanta vibes and and everything that

526
00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:17,879
Speaker 1: that that they stand for. And I think the city's

527
00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:20,359
Speaker 1: embracing him, and he's embracing the city and he's having

528
00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:23,320
Speaker 1: a lot of fun. Mitchell, he was nineteen or twenty

529
00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:27,359
Speaker 1: four today. Three touchdown passes. He was able to hit

530
00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:29,879
Speaker 1: Drake London on a on a fade route or a

531
00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:32,119
Speaker 1: will route in the end zone. He was able to

532
00:26:32,560 --> 00:26:34,760
Speaker 1: hit Mooney on a broken coverage. It looked like they

533
00:26:34,840 --> 00:26:39,800
Speaker 1: just busted cover two and you gotta you just gotta.

534
00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:42,160
Speaker 1: I'm I'm I'm happy for Kirk. I'm happy for Kirk.

535
00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:44,359
Speaker 1: He's always been one of the quarterbacks that that I

536
00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:47,720
Speaker 1: thought was a way better, way better and closer to

537
00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:51,800
Speaker 1: elite than anybody gave him credit. And he's on a

538
00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:54,520
Speaker 1: team with a lot of talent. I think Kyle Pitts

539
00:26:54,560 --> 00:26:57,240
Speaker 1: is starting to benefit from it, obviously Darnelle Mooney. But

540
00:26:57,359 --> 00:27:01,359
Speaker 1: John Robinson had seven catches for fifty nine yards, twelve

541
00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:04,440
Speaker 1: rushes for seventy five yards, his best all purpose yards

542
00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:08,840
Speaker 1: game of the season, and they're finally giving him more touches,

543
00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:11,040
Speaker 1: giving him, you know, getting him the ball in space

544
00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:15,680
Speaker 1: a lot more. But remember last year when the Dallas Cowboys,

545
00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:18,520
Speaker 1: Jerry Jones was at the trade line, was Drey deadline,

546
00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:21,199
Speaker 1: was like, hey, we're not making any moves. We're I mean,

547
00:27:21,280 --> 00:27:24,080
Speaker 1: unless somebody calls us and gives us an offer we

548
00:27:24,119 --> 00:27:26,800
Speaker 1: can't refuse. We just got on to keep doing what

549
00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:30,920
Speaker 1: we do well. Jerry, your team looks abysmal. You should

550
00:27:30,920 --> 00:27:33,960
Speaker 1: have made decisions during all season when you were all in,

551
00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:38,240
Speaker 1: all in, mint all out, I guess, Mitchell, because everybody

552
00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:40,760
Speaker 1: about to be out in a second, they about to

553
00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:42,919
Speaker 1: say you gotta go, you gotta go, you gotta go,

554
00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:46,040
Speaker 1: you gotta go, because they made a terrible move picking

555
00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:49,880
Speaker 1: their defensive coordinator. Now, I've talked to players on that team,

556
00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:53,320
Speaker 1: I've talked to guys on that staff. I've talked to

557
00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:56,440
Speaker 1: ex players who played in this game. It's too predictable,

558
00:27:56,680 --> 00:28:00,080
Speaker 1: Mike Zimmers game is too predictable. They don't they he

559
00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:04,879
Speaker 1: doesn't adjust, he doesn't adapt to what's going on right now.

560
00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:07,719
Speaker 1: Like you have to adapt to the league that it

561
00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:10,000
Speaker 1: is right now. You can't say, hey, I've had success

562
00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:13,280
Speaker 1: in the past and I've always done this, and I've

563
00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:15,560
Speaker 1: always done that. You have to evolve. You have to

564
00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:19,600
Speaker 1: adapt to what's happening right now, and he's not. You

565
00:28:19,640 --> 00:28:21,840
Speaker 1: know when they're gonna be in man, you know when

566
00:28:21,880 --> 00:28:25,479
Speaker 1: they're gonna be in zone. You know what zone they're running.

567
00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:28,200
Speaker 1: It's predictable and you can dictate their informations. If it's

568
00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:29,960
Speaker 1: third and short, they're in man, if they're in the

569
00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:32,919
Speaker 1: red zone inside the five, they're in man like. And

570
00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:37,200
Speaker 1: it's really resulted in them being a terrible red zone

571
00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:40,120
Speaker 1: defense because of how predictable they are. And you look

572
00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:42,640
Speaker 1: and you see a lot of the same talented pieces

573
00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:45,640
Speaker 1: that were there when Dan Quinn was there, and they

574
00:28:45,640 --> 00:28:49,080
Speaker 1: were amongst the league leaders at top ten defense, number

575
00:28:49,120 --> 00:28:52,080
Speaker 1: one in turnovers over the past however many years, and

576
00:28:52,120 --> 00:28:54,680
Speaker 1: now they can't seem to get any turnovers. They they're

577
00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:56,800
Speaker 1: not getting to the quarterback at the high till now.

578
00:28:57,200 --> 00:29:01,360
Speaker 1: DeMarcus Lawrence is hurt. Parsons is out. You got to

579
00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:03,560
Speaker 1: give him credit for that, Yes, sir, I understand that.

580
00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:07,800
Speaker 1: But there are still really talented guys there. Carl Lawson

581
00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:09,320
Speaker 1: was able to get to the quarterback. He was a

582
00:29:09,320 --> 00:29:11,480
Speaker 1: free agent acquisition, was able to get to the quarterback

583
00:29:11,680 --> 00:29:15,400
Speaker 1: a few times in this game. But what's happened to

584
00:29:16,320 --> 00:29:20,160
Speaker 1: Cede Lamb? What's happened to the rapport between Dak Prescott

585
00:29:20,200 --> 00:29:22,760
Speaker 1: and Ceedee Lamb. Dak Prescott eighteen to twenty four, but

586
00:29:22,880 --> 00:29:25,440
Speaker 1: only one hundred and thirty three yards in a touchdown.

587
00:29:25,760 --> 00:29:27,959
Speaker 1: They said something about his running this week, that he

588
00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:31,200
Speaker 1: was he had less rushing yards than than your boy

589
00:29:31,280 --> 00:29:34,560
Speaker 1: Jared Goff and I think a rod and so now

590
00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:38,560
Speaker 1: he ran for thirty yards. But again now he pulls

591
00:29:38,600 --> 00:29:41,680
Speaker 1: his hamstring. Mitchell. They almost they almost talked to him

592
00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:43,600
Speaker 1: into pulling his hamstring. So they tell you you're not

593
00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:46,760
Speaker 1: running enough, you laugh it off and say, man, that's bad.

594
00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:48,400
Speaker 1: They get you to run the ball and you pull

595
00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:50,320
Speaker 1: your hamstring in the game, and then they put Cooper

596
00:29:50,400 --> 00:29:53,480
Speaker 1: Rush in, which is gonna start a whole different controversy

597
00:29:53,520 --> 00:29:58,840
Speaker 1: because there's a small contingent of Dallas Cowboy fans who

598
00:29:58,880 --> 00:30:01,960
Speaker 1: have been saying Cooper, Cooper Rush. Put Cooper Rush in

599
00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:05,280
Speaker 1: the game. Cooper, Well, they're gonna have another few games

600
00:30:05,280 --> 00:30:07,520
Speaker 1: of Cooper Rush. I would believe it, depending on the

601
00:30:07,520 --> 00:30:10,960
Speaker 1: severity of Dak Prescott's hamstring injury and if he finds

602
00:30:10,960 --> 00:30:13,520
Speaker 1: the way to win games. Mitchell, this is the kind

603
00:30:13,560 --> 00:30:17,880
Speaker 1: of ridiculousness that happens in Dallas that people would be

604
00:30:17,920 --> 00:30:20,160
Speaker 1: saying they need to start him over the sixty million

605
00:30:20,200 --> 00:30:23,800
Speaker 1: dollar quarterback. I'm not the one saying that, Mitchell, and

606
00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:26,719
Speaker 1: I would never say it because that's ridiculous. But there

607
00:30:26,760 --> 00:30:29,880
Speaker 1: are people that were Dallas Cowboys gear every single week

608
00:30:29,920 --> 00:30:31,640
Speaker 1: that we'll be saying that we.

609
00:30:31,920 --> 00:30:34,760
Speaker 2: Had a buyer cell segment last week, Richard I said

610
00:30:34,800 --> 00:30:38,880
Speaker 2: buy or sell. Dak Prescott is gonna be not on

611
00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:42,760
Speaker 2: this team next year, Richard. If it keeps going down

612
00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:46,600
Speaker 2: this path the Dallas Cowboys. You know Jerry, I mean

613
00:30:47,080 --> 00:30:49,720
Speaker 2: he does not accept losing. You know, this city does

614
00:30:49,760 --> 00:30:53,040
Speaker 2: not accept losing. Where do we go from here with Dallas?

615
00:30:53,040 --> 00:30:55,640
Speaker 2: I mean we're at the halfway point. They're three and five.

616
00:30:55,880 --> 00:30:59,840
Speaker 2: I mean, conceivably they're not out of the playoff picture,

617
00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:04,320
Speaker 2: but for all intentsive purposes, they've been getting absolutely shelled

618
00:31:04,320 --> 00:31:06,280
Speaker 2: by teams. I mean, I know this was a six

619
00:31:06,320 --> 00:31:09,040
Speaker 2: point game, but they were down by multiple scores for

620
00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:11,560
Speaker 2: the bulk of this game. They made it look close late.

621
00:31:12,840 --> 00:31:15,240
Speaker 2: I just don't know what the end goal is with

622
00:31:15,320 --> 00:31:19,520
Speaker 2: this Cowboys team. They made no moves this offseason. They're

623
00:31:19,640 --> 00:31:22,400
Speaker 2: stuck in no man's land. They're in cap hell. They've

624
00:31:22,400 --> 00:31:24,880
Speaker 2: got to pay all their players that they're supposed to

625
00:31:24,920 --> 00:31:27,200
Speaker 2: be the team players that are going to elevate this team.

626
00:31:27,600 --> 00:31:30,760
Speaker 2: Where do we go from here? Is Dak Prescott gonna

627
00:31:30,760 --> 00:31:33,560
Speaker 2: be part of the long term solution with this team?

628
00:31:33,680 --> 00:31:35,920
Speaker 1: Mitchell? Mitchell, I'm gonna let you know something that you

629
00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:38,080
Speaker 1: may not know because I need to look this up. Sorry,

630
00:31:38,080 --> 00:31:40,080
Speaker 1: I'm on my phone. I need to look at Dak's

631
00:31:40,480 --> 00:31:42,680
Speaker 1: contract details, and I need to so I can have

632
00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:50,880
Speaker 1: exact numbers for you, because perfect, perfect, perfect got it.

633
00:31:52,240 --> 00:31:56,720
Speaker 1: So that's deal that he got Mitchell for all of

634
00:31:56,760 --> 00:32:03,040
Speaker 1: that money hasn't even started yet, and so everybody is

635
00:32:03,080 --> 00:32:07,560
Speaker 1: gonna be gone before Dak Prescott's gone. Dak Prescott makes

636
00:32:08,240 --> 00:32:12,520
Speaker 1: one point two five base salary this year, he makes

637
00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:15,520
Speaker 1: forty seven million, next year, forty to the next year,

638
00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:20,040
Speaker 1: forty five the following year, etcetera, etcetera, fifty five and

639
00:32:20,120 --> 00:32:24,640
Speaker 1: twenty twenty eight. Let's see the one hundred and twenty

640
00:32:24,720 --> 00:32:27,680
Speaker 1: nine million guaranteed at signing, which is his twenty twenty

641
00:32:27,720 --> 00:32:32,760
Speaker 1: four salary plus his twenty twenty five salary. His twenty

642
00:32:32,880 --> 00:32:36,720
Speaker 1: twenty sixth salary is guaranteed Mark sixteenth of twenty twenty

643
00:32:36,760 --> 00:32:42,880
Speaker 1: five injury guarantee that signing, and w fifth day of

644
00:32:43,040 --> 00:32:45,560
Speaker 1: league year of twenty twenty six his twenty twenty seven

645
00:32:45,720 --> 00:32:50,760
Speaker 1: salary is guaranteed. So Mitchell McCarthy's gonna be gone, and

646
00:32:50,840 --> 00:32:53,480
Speaker 1: the rumors that he's picking up Prime and he's picking

647
00:32:53,560 --> 00:32:56,959
Speaker 1: up Shador are gonna be as loud as they possibly

648
00:32:57,040 --> 00:33:00,320
Speaker 1: can be. Now, don't let the Dallas Cowboys be in

649
00:33:00,360 --> 00:33:03,800
Speaker 1: the top ten of the National Football League's draft. Do

650
00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:06,560
Speaker 1: not let the Dallas Cowboys be picking in the top

651
00:33:06,680 --> 00:33:11,480
Speaker 1: five of the National Football League's draft because the amount

652
00:33:11,480 --> 00:33:17,479
Speaker 1: of noise you're gonna hear about them picking up Shador Sanders. Mitchell,

653
00:33:17,520 --> 00:33:21,400
Speaker 1: it's gonna sound like Century Link during the NFC championship

654
00:33:21,480 --> 00:33:24,440
Speaker 1: game that we are about to win. Mitchell, It's deafening.

655
00:33:25,040 --> 00:33:29,920
Speaker 1: It's ridiculously deafening, and it's rightfully so. Then they're gonna

656
00:33:29,920 --> 00:33:32,320
Speaker 1: be sitting there saying, well, why doesn't it Dad coach

657
00:33:32,360 --> 00:33:34,560
Speaker 1: him again? He coached them at the high school level,

658
00:33:34,760 --> 00:33:37,560
Speaker 1: he coached them at the college level, he coached them

659
00:33:37,600 --> 00:33:40,680
Speaker 1: at Dallas. And you know one star that could be

660
00:33:40,800 --> 00:33:46,080
Speaker 1: big enough to walk into Dallas and overshadow Jerry Jones

661
00:33:46,200 --> 00:33:50,160
Speaker 1: just a little bit. It's Prime And Mitchell, that's just

662
00:33:50,200 --> 00:33:53,959
Speaker 1: the conversation that it's gonna be am I stoking fires

663
00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:56,680
Speaker 1: that probably aren't there. Is Deon likely gonna just stay

664
00:33:56,720 --> 00:33:58,640
Speaker 1: at Colorado and have a good time and keep coaching

665
00:33:58,640 --> 00:34:02,040
Speaker 1: his butt off. Sure, but I like the controversy, Mitchell,

666
00:34:02,200 --> 00:34:04,920
Speaker 1: and it's the Dallas Cowboys. You never freaking know. All

667
00:34:04,960 --> 00:34:08,400
Speaker 1: you know is that in January they're not gonna be

668
00:34:08,440 --> 00:34:09,560
Speaker 1: there at least at the end.

669
00:34:11,200 --> 00:34:13,880
Speaker 2: I love I love that prophecy Richard, I could totally

670
00:34:13,920 --> 00:34:17,800
Speaker 2: see it. And they've got the Eagles on the docket

671
00:34:17,840 --> 00:34:20,719
Speaker 2: next week. If they lose that game, I mean, we

672
00:34:20,840 --> 00:34:24,279
Speaker 2: might be a step closer to that prophecy. Let's talk

673
00:34:24,280 --> 00:34:26,600
Speaker 2: about the Eagles a little bit, and they are hot

674
00:34:26,680 --> 00:34:29,319
Speaker 2: right now. I mean, if you're not talking about my

675
00:34:29,440 --> 00:34:31,560
Speaker 2: Detroit Lions, we might as well be talking about the

676
00:34:31,560 --> 00:34:34,880
Speaker 2: Philadelphia Eagles as the second hottest team in this NFC

677
00:34:35,080 --> 00:34:39,160
Speaker 2: right now. They beat the Jacksonville Jaguars. They gave him

678
00:34:39,239 --> 00:34:41,279
Speaker 2: a little bit of life, you know. I mean, this

679
00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:43,919
Speaker 2: game is closer than it probably should have been twenty

680
00:34:43,960 --> 00:34:47,880
Speaker 2: eight to twenty three. But Saquon Barkley is flat out bawling.

681
00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:50,680
Speaker 2: I mean, he jumped over a guy backwards today. I

682
00:34:50,680 --> 00:34:52,759
Speaker 2: don't know if you saw that, but I mean I've

683
00:34:52,760 --> 00:34:56,040
Speaker 2: never seen that before in my life. Saquon Barkley, it

684
00:34:56,120 --> 00:35:00,360
Speaker 2: seems like is the perfect fit for this Philadelphia Eagles team.

685
00:35:01,120 --> 00:35:03,760
Speaker 2: Let's talk about the Eagles. Where what's your head? Where's

686
00:35:03,760 --> 00:35:05,360
Speaker 2: your head at with this team? How far do you

687
00:35:05,400 --> 00:35:08,080
Speaker 2: think they can realistically go? Because they look a lot

688
00:35:08,200 --> 00:35:10,320
Speaker 2: better than they did last year right now, rich.

689
00:35:10,280 --> 00:35:12,920
Speaker 1: They look really good and Jalen Hurst looks really accurate.

690
00:35:12,920 --> 00:35:16,000
Speaker 1: I mean, he threw some pinpoint passes in traffic, dimes

691
00:35:16,040 --> 00:35:19,439
Speaker 1: to Devonte Smith and to all they always open aj

692
00:35:19,600 --> 00:35:24,200
Speaker 1: Brown into a saquon for that matter. But I thought

693
00:35:24,239 --> 00:35:27,000
Speaker 1: defensively they made some progress too. I thought they made

694
00:35:27,040 --> 00:35:32,279
Speaker 1: some plays put pressure on Trevor Lawrence caused two interceptions.

695
00:35:32,280 --> 00:35:34,520
Speaker 1: Well one of them, I mean came off of Travers

696
00:35:34,520 --> 00:35:36,680
Speaker 1: Etn's hands. I mean it was a pretty good pass

697
00:35:36,719 --> 00:35:39,279
Speaker 1: by Trevor Lawrence, just a drop by Etn right into

698
00:35:39,320 --> 00:35:42,160
Speaker 1: the defense, right up in the air. Defender Dove caught it.

699
00:35:43,120 --> 00:35:44,879
Speaker 1: You can't really put that one on Trevor, but it's

700
00:35:44,880 --> 00:35:46,920
Speaker 1: gonna be on Trevor, you know. I'm sorry. That's how

701
00:35:46,920 --> 00:35:50,080
Speaker 1: it works. The good ones, the good touchdown passes that

702
00:35:50,120 --> 00:35:51,640
Speaker 1: you're like, oh, that wasn't a great pass and a

703
00:35:51,719 --> 00:35:54,759
Speaker 1: receiver makes a crazy catch. That's the quarterbacks touchdown too.

704
00:35:55,040 --> 00:35:57,160
Speaker 1: And when it's a great pass and the receiver just

705
00:35:57,239 --> 00:35:58,839
Speaker 1: drops it and bounces it up in the air, it's

706
00:35:58,840 --> 00:36:03,640
Speaker 1: an interception that happens too. But you have to give

707
00:36:03,680 --> 00:36:06,239
Speaker 1: the Eagles a lot of credit. I mean, you saw

708
00:36:06,280 --> 00:36:09,640
Speaker 1: the clip with Sirianni at home going back and forth

709
00:36:09,680 --> 00:36:11,640
Speaker 1: with the fan, and everybody was like, oh, what is

710
00:36:11,640 --> 00:36:13,319
Speaker 1: he doing? Even I was like what is he doing?

711
00:36:13,800 --> 00:36:17,840
Speaker 1: Then the article comes out and a fan does a

712
00:36:17,920 --> 00:36:20,640
Speaker 1: video talking about he was telling Sirianni, Hey, you ran

713
00:36:20,680 --> 00:36:23,439
Speaker 1: it for it five yards on first down. On second down,

714
00:36:23,640 --> 00:36:25,560
Speaker 1: you run for it again. You got a first down,

715
00:36:25,560 --> 00:36:27,440
Speaker 1: but instead you passed it two times. And now it's

716
00:36:27,480 --> 00:36:29,800
Speaker 1: fourth and five. So he's telling them run the ball,

717
00:36:30,040 --> 00:36:32,200
Speaker 1: run it down their throats. And then you look up

718
00:36:32,239 --> 00:36:34,400
Speaker 1: and at the end of the game, I think Saquan

719
00:36:34,520 --> 00:36:36,360
Speaker 1: had like one hundred and sixty or one hundred and

720
00:36:36,400 --> 00:36:39,480
Speaker 1: seventy yards rushing, and he turns around and said, did

721
00:36:39,480 --> 00:36:40,600
Speaker 1: I run it enough for you?

722
00:36:40,920 --> 00:36:41,000
Speaker 2: Like?

723
00:36:41,200 --> 00:36:43,319
Speaker 1: Was that enough? We ran it? We ran it, and

724
00:36:43,360 --> 00:36:45,760
Speaker 1: we ran it and we ran it. I listened and people,

725
00:36:46,160 --> 00:36:48,239
Speaker 1: you know, it didn't look great if you didn't know

726
00:36:48,280 --> 00:36:49,799
Speaker 1: what he was saying. But if you knew what he

727
00:36:49,840 --> 00:36:53,080
Speaker 1: was saying, you're like, hey, that's pretty cool. That's actually

728
00:36:53,080 --> 00:36:56,080
Speaker 1: pretty cool. And their season has turned around. They're six

729
00:36:56,200 --> 00:36:58,120
Speaker 1: and two. If you went back to that moment in

730
00:36:58,160 --> 00:37:01,040
Speaker 1: time where Philadelphia fans are booing him and we're saying

731
00:37:01,080 --> 00:37:03,359
Speaker 1: he's on the hot seat, they're about to fire him,

732
00:37:03,480 --> 00:37:06,200
Speaker 1: And now they're six and two, tied for the leading division.

733
00:37:07,360 --> 00:37:10,160
Speaker 1: He'd call me crazy, but that's that's games in Philly.

734
00:37:10,200 --> 00:37:11,720
Speaker 1: We gotta go to Philly in a couple of weeks

735
00:37:11,960 --> 00:37:15,160
Speaker 1: and they're playing the Washington Commanders, Mitchell. That's why I'm saying,

736
00:37:15,360 --> 00:37:18,600
Speaker 1: like Lee Corso would not so fast, my friend, because

737
00:37:18,600 --> 00:37:22,759
Speaker 1: those Washington Commanders look really good, look really good. They

738
00:37:23,400 --> 00:37:26,839
Speaker 1: another tough divisional game against the Giants. The Giants made

739
00:37:26,840 --> 00:37:30,360
Speaker 1: the game closer than it had to be. But Jaden Daniel,

740
00:37:30,960 --> 00:37:33,920
Speaker 1: I mean he looked like looked like the guy steal

741
00:37:34,360 --> 00:37:40,000
Speaker 1: you know, and steel guy is elite. He's efficient, he's

742
00:37:40,080 --> 00:37:42,240
Speaker 1: using his legs when he's supposed to. He's keeping himself

743
00:37:42,280 --> 00:37:45,000
Speaker 1: out of harm's way, even with the sore ribs. You know,

744
00:37:46,239 --> 00:37:49,280
Speaker 1: he's dropping domes to Terry mcclu Mitchell. They had eleven

745
00:37:49,360 --> 00:37:53,359
Speaker 1: seconds to go in a half, no timeouts. You got

746
00:37:53,400 --> 00:37:55,720
Speaker 1: a rookie quarterback and I think they were about eighteen

747
00:37:55,800 --> 00:37:58,040
Speaker 1: or nineteen yards away from the end zone. You know,

748
00:37:58,120 --> 00:38:01,120
Speaker 1: he does Mintell, He drops back rows a dime on

749
00:38:01,200 --> 00:38:04,720
Speaker 1: a slugo a slant and go route to Terry McClain

750
00:38:04,840 --> 00:38:09,960
Speaker 1: corner of the end zone, back shoulder tug. I said, Ssh,

751
00:38:10,400 --> 00:38:12,960
Speaker 1: this boy makes you want to It makes you it

752
00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:17,719
Speaker 1: feels like it stinks in the room Mitchell my face, Yeah, Like,

753
00:38:17,840 --> 00:38:21,040
Speaker 1: who is this guy a rook out out here controlling

754
00:38:21,080 --> 00:38:25,200
Speaker 1: the game pinpoint passes under pressure. In those situations, you

755
00:38:25,239 --> 00:38:27,080
Speaker 1: expect a rookie to make a mistake, to hold the

756
00:38:27,080 --> 00:38:30,320
Speaker 1: ball too long, maybe take a sack, randomly throw.

757
00:38:30,160 --> 00:38:30,680
Speaker 2: The ball up.

758
00:38:30,719 --> 00:38:33,200
Speaker 1: But he just looks like he has such a command

759
00:38:33,239 --> 00:38:36,280
Speaker 1: of the offense, such a calm. The game is moving

760
00:38:36,280 --> 00:38:39,759
Speaker 1: too fast for him. He's got a relationship with Terry

761
00:38:39,800 --> 00:38:42,759
Speaker 1: McLaurin that's only getting better and tighter. Their chemistry is

762
00:38:42,800 --> 00:38:45,480
Speaker 1: getting better. This is a team that I'm I need

763
00:38:45,520 --> 00:38:48,560
Speaker 1: to see against the Philadelphia Eagles because I'm not sure

764
00:38:48,560 --> 00:38:51,000
Speaker 1: the Philadelphia Eagles are better than them, but maybe they are.

765
00:38:51,040 --> 00:38:52,200
Speaker 1: They're definitely more veteran.

766
00:38:53,440 --> 00:38:55,759
Speaker 2: Well, that division is heating up in a way we

767
00:38:55,840 --> 00:38:57,920
Speaker 2: did not see coming at the beginning of the season.

768
00:38:58,040 --> 00:39:00,440
Speaker 2: And like you said, and it goes to show you.

769
00:39:00,480 --> 00:39:05,439
Speaker 2: I mean, we heard reports earlier today that players are

770
00:39:05,480 --> 00:39:09,120
Speaker 2: telling their agents, Hey, I want to play for this team.

771
00:39:09,239 --> 00:39:11,239
Speaker 2: I want to play for the Commanders. I mean, it

772
00:39:11,280 --> 00:39:14,640
Speaker 2: goes to show you how quickly things can change, and

773
00:39:14,680 --> 00:39:17,120
Speaker 2: I know that you have a relationship with d Q,

774
00:39:17,360 --> 00:39:20,600
Speaker 2: the head coach there, dan Quinn, did you see this

775
00:39:20,719 --> 00:39:24,840
Speaker 2: coming when they hired him this offseason? Because he's always

776
00:39:24,880 --> 00:39:27,360
Speaker 2: been looking for his opportunity. It just seems like this

777
00:39:27,560 --> 00:39:32,400
Speaker 2: was the perfect fit for him. And this, I guess

778
00:39:32,800 --> 00:39:37,040
Speaker 2: you have Jaden Daniels fall into your lap at two, Richard,

779
00:39:37,640 --> 00:39:41,320
Speaker 2: How does this all happen in one offseason? Because Washington

780
00:39:41,719 --> 00:39:45,840
Speaker 2: was not thought of as a city that many players

781
00:39:45,840 --> 00:39:46,480
Speaker 2: wanted to go to.

782
00:39:46,800 --> 00:39:49,719
Speaker 1: Well, you got you gotta think. Dan Quinn's first head

783
00:39:49,719 --> 00:39:51,960
Speaker 1: coaching opportunity was in Atlanta and he took his team

784
00:39:52,000 --> 00:39:53,880
Speaker 1: to the super Bowl the first year. I mean, it

785
00:39:53,960 --> 00:39:56,359
Speaker 1: ended up being a memeable super Bowl when they had

786
00:39:56,400 --> 00:39:58,319
Speaker 1: the twenty eight to three lead and Tom and those

787
00:39:58,360 --> 00:40:01,359
Speaker 1: guys come running all the way back and beat him.

788
00:40:01,760 --> 00:40:04,719
Speaker 1: But that's the coach that took his team to the

789
00:40:04,719 --> 00:40:06,239
Speaker 1: super Bowl in the first year. So I knew the

790
00:40:06,239 --> 00:40:09,440
Speaker 1: culture would be good. I knew them bringing in really

791
00:40:09,800 --> 00:40:14,360
Speaker 1: championship caliber all pro leaders like Zach Ertz and Bobby

792
00:40:14,400 --> 00:40:16,840
Speaker 1: Wagner would have a positive effect. But no, I cannot

793
00:40:17,120 --> 00:40:19,440
Speaker 1: imagine them being seven and two at this point in

794
00:40:19,440 --> 00:40:22,640
Speaker 1: the season and this young quarterback playing at not only

795
00:40:22,680 --> 00:40:26,600
Speaker 1: an offensive Rookie of the Year type level. But you know,

796
00:40:26,640 --> 00:40:29,160
Speaker 1: if it wasn't for Lamar Jackson just playing outside of

797
00:40:29,160 --> 00:40:32,160
Speaker 1: his mind, you'd be talking about potentially MVP if this

798
00:40:32,200 --> 00:40:34,200
Speaker 1: team can find a way to keep winning ball games

799
00:40:34,239 --> 00:40:37,000
Speaker 1: or him keep pushing the ball down the field like

800
00:40:37,040 --> 00:40:41,279
Speaker 1: he has. And outside of Terry McLaurin, it's not a

801
00:40:41,360 --> 00:40:43,840
Speaker 1: ton of receivers you would say are elite in the

802
00:40:43,960 --> 00:40:47,640
Speaker 1: National Football League. But you got to give Cliff Kingsbury

803
00:40:47,719 --> 00:40:50,799
Speaker 1: he's a lot of credit for what he's been doing schematically.

804
00:40:50,840 --> 00:40:53,280
Speaker 1: I mean, he's been really creative. You see some plays

805
00:40:53,440 --> 00:40:55,879
Speaker 1: out of the Washington Commanders that you have never seen

806
00:40:55,880 --> 00:40:59,279
Speaker 1: in the National Football League ever, some creativity in terms

807
00:40:59,320 --> 00:41:04,040
Speaker 1: of the concept, the drop backs, the rollouts, the reverses.

808
00:41:04,080 --> 00:41:07,240
Speaker 1: I mean, again, we talked about the Fleet flicker screen

809
00:41:07,320 --> 00:41:13,480
Speaker 1: pass to Austin Eckler that was just crazy. And Austin Eckler,

810
00:41:13,600 --> 00:41:16,400
Speaker 1: you know, a guy who has played really well, you know,

811
00:41:16,440 --> 00:41:20,160
Speaker 1: a fantasy dream of Sourts International Football League, continues to

812
00:41:20,200 --> 00:41:22,960
Speaker 1: play well, continues to elevate. This team had a really

813
00:41:23,040 --> 00:41:24,680
Speaker 1: good game this week, and I think he's one of

814
00:41:24,760 --> 00:41:27,960
Speaker 1: the underrated parts of this offense that continues to keep

815
00:41:28,000 --> 00:41:32,200
Speaker 1: this engine going, and that defense is coming along. They're

816
00:41:32,200 --> 00:41:34,920
Speaker 1: getting more pressure on the quarterback. You're seeing the DBS

817
00:41:34,960 --> 00:41:37,560
Speaker 1: make more plays. Sure, you're seeing you're seeing busts in

818
00:41:37,600 --> 00:41:40,400
Speaker 1: the coverage and things that are kind of head scratching.

819
00:41:40,680 --> 00:41:43,680
Speaker 1: But overall, I mean to get to be seven and

820
00:41:43,719 --> 00:41:45,239
Speaker 1: two in this league. I mean, there are a couple

821
00:41:45,320 --> 00:41:48,520
Speaker 1: games away from clinching a playoff spot. And that's something

822
00:41:48,560 --> 00:41:50,960
Speaker 1: that you couldn't have talked about in Washington for a

823
00:41:51,000 --> 00:41:54,880
Speaker 1: long time. I can't imagine how cool the city feels.

824
00:41:56,000 --> 00:41:58,480
Speaker 1: But I got another team I want to talk about

825
00:41:58,560 --> 00:42:03,400
Speaker 1: because the Jacksonville jack what's happening in Duvall. You talk

826
00:42:03,440 --> 00:42:06,400
Speaker 1: about hot seats, Mitchell, that's fish grease.

827
00:42:06,160 --> 00:42:10,960
Speaker 2: Hid, Yeah, it is fish grease size. I know you'd

828
00:42:11,080 --> 00:42:14,200
Speaker 2: like to talk about Trevor Lawrence. I mean, he had

829
00:42:14,200 --> 00:42:16,680
Speaker 2: two rushing touchdowns today. I thought of you when he

830
00:42:16,960 --> 00:42:19,160
Speaker 2: eclipsed the end zone on both of those siding I'm like, oh,

831
00:42:19,160 --> 00:42:21,440
Speaker 2: maybe Richard will speak a little bit better than in today.

832
00:42:21,480 --> 00:42:22,719
Speaker 1: But yeah, no.

833
00:42:22,960 --> 00:42:25,640
Speaker 2: I mean sixteen to thirty one for one sixty nine

834
00:42:25,680 --> 00:42:30,360
Speaker 2: and two interceptions. What's gonna give. I mean, you just

835
00:42:30,440 --> 00:42:33,839
Speaker 2: paid this guy an exorbitant amount of money. I mean,

836
00:42:35,080 --> 00:42:39,320
Speaker 2: what's the endgame in Jacksonville, because it seems like we're

837
00:42:39,360 --> 00:42:42,920
Speaker 2: all aboard the Titanic and we just about hit that glacier.

838
00:42:43,520 --> 00:42:48,439
Speaker 1: Yeah, Mitchell's Doug Peterson is probably gonna gonna see see

839
00:42:48,440 --> 00:42:51,040
Speaker 1: the end of his time there. And because they will

840
00:42:51,040 --> 00:42:53,640
Speaker 1: not blame Trevor Lawrence for some reason. You know people

841
00:42:54,200 --> 00:42:56,360
Speaker 1: you see people in the comments or look, what is

842
00:42:56,360 --> 00:42:58,680
Speaker 1: he supposed to do? The receivers are dropping the balls?

843
00:42:58,880 --> 00:43:01,919
Speaker 1: What is he supposed to do? Like those interceptions aren't

844
00:43:01,960 --> 00:43:05,239
Speaker 1: on him, and this game Trevor Etms interception wasn't on him.

845
00:43:05,320 --> 00:43:08,439
Speaker 1: But the one to Nakobe Dean was that that wasn't

846
00:43:08,480 --> 00:43:10,719
Speaker 1: a great pass. That was you know, there were better

847
00:43:10,719 --> 00:43:13,399
Speaker 1: places to put that football and they could have won

848
00:43:13,440 --> 00:43:15,840
Speaker 1: that game with that pass. But instead he turns the

849
00:43:15,840 --> 00:43:21,000
Speaker 1: ball over. They lose. But they not understanding last year

850
00:43:21,000 --> 00:43:23,799
Speaker 1: to Kansas City Chiefs. I think let the league drops

851
00:43:24,280 --> 00:43:26,520
Speaker 1: won the Super Bowl somehow and they'd say, well, the

852
00:43:26,560 --> 00:43:30,960
Speaker 1: defense played better. Defense played pretty good today. I mean

853
00:43:31,760 --> 00:43:35,800
Speaker 1: Trevon Walker thirty five yard touchdow, I mean fumble return

854
00:43:36,080 --> 00:43:39,760
Speaker 1: for a touchdown. So the defense gave you a touchdown today,

855
00:43:40,000 --> 00:43:43,040
Speaker 1: they gave you a turnover. They had multiple sacks, they

856
00:43:43,080 --> 00:43:46,919
Speaker 1: put pressure on the quarterback. They're facing a really high

857
00:43:46,960 --> 00:43:50,840
Speaker 1: powered offense with a lot of playmakers, but your offense

858
00:43:50,880 --> 00:43:52,960
Speaker 1: didn't do their part, and the quarterback is a part

859
00:43:52,960 --> 00:43:54,560
Speaker 1: of that. You had a chance to win the game.

860
00:43:54,800 --> 00:43:57,480
Speaker 1: You could make a better decision, better placement with the football,

861
00:43:57,680 --> 00:44:00,400
Speaker 1: and we wouldn't be this critical of him if he

862
00:44:00,560 --> 00:44:04,480
Speaker 1: wasn't getting top five quarterback money. When you're getting top

863
00:44:04,520 --> 00:44:08,160
Speaker 1: five quarterback money, then you get top five quarterback criticism.

864
00:44:08,360 --> 00:44:10,960
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, That's just how the world works. If you're

865
00:44:11,000 --> 00:44:13,560
Speaker 1: the number one paid quarterback in the National Football League,

866
00:44:13,640 --> 00:44:17,880
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott, he gets highly criticized and comes with the territory.

867
00:44:17,920 --> 00:44:21,799
Speaker 1: He understands that if you're getting top quarterback money, then

868
00:44:22,080 --> 00:44:24,640
Speaker 1: even if you're not playing to that level and never have,

869
00:44:25,560 --> 00:44:28,799
Speaker 1: you get that criticism because you're getting paid like it.

870
00:44:29,080 --> 00:44:31,640
Speaker 1: And if I'm getting paid like an elite even if

871
00:44:31,680 --> 00:44:34,000
Speaker 1: I'm not playing elite, maybe it's bad on the team

872
00:44:34,440 --> 00:44:38,280
Speaker 1: and the guys who paid him. Trent Balke like, why why,

873
00:44:38,640 --> 00:44:41,480
Speaker 1: I mean you better off going bridge quarterback and drafting

874
00:44:41,719 --> 00:44:45,000
Speaker 1: but who am I. They're gonna make me a GM someday.

875
00:44:45,239 --> 00:44:47,600
Speaker 1: Maybe I'm definitely not gonna run it like this. But

876
00:44:49,480 --> 00:44:51,960
Speaker 1: when you keep going into situations, and you do see

877
00:44:52,000 --> 00:44:54,719
Speaker 1: situations where you're throwing really good passes and guys are

878
00:44:54,760 --> 00:44:57,080
Speaker 1: dropping him. I saw several in his game, a first

879
00:44:57,160 --> 00:45:01,920
Speaker 1: down past Evan Ingram drop. I saw multiple touchdown passes

880
00:45:01,960 --> 00:45:03,919
Speaker 1: in one game. I think he threw two or three

881
00:45:03,960 --> 00:45:06,960
Speaker 1: in one drive. Guys just drop, drop, drop, and I

882
00:45:07,000 --> 00:45:10,799
Speaker 1: was like, ah, that sucks. But I also watch other

883
00:45:10,880 --> 00:45:13,279
Speaker 1: teams and guys drop the touchdowns, and you know what

884
00:45:13,320 --> 00:45:16,480
Speaker 1: the quarterback does, Mitchell, he keeps throwing them. He keep

885
00:45:16,680 --> 00:45:19,239
Speaker 1: josh Avan, they drop a couple of touchdown fast. Guess

886
00:45:19,280 --> 00:45:22,160
Speaker 1: what he gonna throw a couple more. And Lamar Jackson,

887
00:45:22,200 --> 00:45:25,600
Speaker 1: I watch Bateman drop a wide open touchdown, the lights

888
00:45:25,600 --> 00:45:27,680
Speaker 1: in his eyes, Mitchell, and he's gonna throw a couple

889
00:45:27,840 --> 00:45:31,000
Speaker 1: mouth And that's why they're getting paid the big bucks

890
00:45:31,040 --> 00:45:34,120
Speaker 1: because no matter what, they will overcome. That's why they

891
00:45:34,120 --> 00:45:37,560
Speaker 1: get paid like they do. They overcome the circumstances. And

892
00:45:37,600 --> 00:45:41,239
Speaker 1: you know what, they get paid to do it. And

893
00:45:41,320 --> 00:45:44,759
Speaker 1: if you getting paid to do it and you're not

894
00:45:44,920 --> 00:45:48,160
Speaker 1: doing it, expect to be criticized. That's all I'm saying. Mitchell,

895
00:45:48,160 --> 00:45:51,560
Speaker 1: one one hundred and sixty nine yards, two interceptions just

896
00:45:51,680 --> 00:45:54,720
Speaker 1: isn't getting it done. But two touchdown rushes on quarterback sneaks.

897
00:45:55,120 --> 00:45:56,840
Speaker 1: I guess, good job, Trevor.

898
00:45:58,160 --> 00:46:02,319
Speaker 2: I would love to hear the Jacksonville Jaguars fans come

899
00:46:02,360 --> 00:46:04,440
Speaker 2: at you in the comments after a breakdown like that,

900
00:46:04,600 --> 00:46:10,680
Speaker 2: because you're absolutely right, Richard. You're absolutely right. With opportunity

901
00:46:10,840 --> 00:46:16,160
Speaker 2: and money comes much criticism, and he's just not performing.

902
00:46:17,320 --> 00:46:17,640
Speaker 1: Richard.

903
00:46:17,680 --> 00:46:21,600
Speaker 2: Let's go to Arizona. Arizona had a huge challenge against

904
00:46:21,680 --> 00:46:26,719
Speaker 2: Chicago Bears, scrappy, needing a win. Arizona comes out victorious

905
00:46:27,200 --> 00:46:30,000
Speaker 2: in a big fashion here. I mean, the Chicago Bears

906
00:46:30,000 --> 00:46:32,960
Speaker 2: are not the Chicago Bears we've seen the last three years.

907
00:46:33,600 --> 00:46:37,200
Speaker 2: They look like a very competitive team. Not today. The

908
00:46:37,320 --> 00:46:40,919
Speaker 2: Arizona Cardinals come out with a twenty nine to nine win.

909
00:46:41,680 --> 00:46:45,000
Speaker 2: This NFC West is heating up to be a battle

910
00:46:45,040 --> 00:46:50,160
Speaker 2: to the finish line. Do you expect the Arizona Cardinals

911
00:46:50,239 --> 00:46:52,319
Speaker 2: at the end of the year to be firmly in

912
00:46:52,360 --> 00:46:54,360
Speaker 2: the mix to take this division crown?

913
00:46:54,840 --> 00:46:57,319
Speaker 1: I don't know, Mitchell, But because you don't know what

914
00:46:57,320 --> 00:46:59,880
Speaker 1: you're getting out of this team week to week. But

915
00:47:00,239 --> 00:47:02,640
Speaker 1: you know what, I'll give Jonathan Gannon credit for it,

916
00:47:02,760 --> 00:47:06,200
Speaker 1: because even when Kyler Murray was out, you saw teams

917
00:47:06,239 --> 00:47:07,680
Speaker 1: going there. We talked about it because they beat the

918
00:47:07,760 --> 00:47:10,720
Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys last year. They beat a couple other teams,

919
00:47:10,760 --> 00:47:14,640
Speaker 1: and they were finding ways to win games because James

920
00:47:14,640 --> 00:47:17,600
Speaker 1: Connor is a bully and they got an offensive line

921
00:47:17,640 --> 00:47:19,879
Speaker 1: that feels the same way, and they run the ball

922
00:47:20,000 --> 00:47:22,240
Speaker 1: really well, and they keep running it and keep running

923
00:47:22,360 --> 00:47:26,080
Speaker 1: and they stay consistent with it. Amari de Mercado, I

924
00:47:26,080 --> 00:47:28,480
Speaker 1: don't even know where he came from Metell, but he

925
00:47:28,520 --> 00:47:31,040
Speaker 1: had a fifty three yard rushing touchdown and he ran

926
00:47:31,040 --> 00:47:33,359
Speaker 1: away from the entire defense and I was like, wait,

927
00:47:33,480 --> 00:47:37,080
Speaker 1: who is this? Who is this? And where is James Connor?

928
00:47:37,400 --> 00:47:40,920
Speaker 1: And but you again, they are staying committed to the

929
00:47:41,040 --> 00:47:43,920
Speaker 1: run game. And Jonathan Gannon, it sounds like he has

930
00:47:43,960 --> 00:47:46,960
Speaker 1: some old school coach in his ear telling him, you

931
00:47:47,000 --> 00:47:52,200
Speaker 1: know what wins games, defense, run game, controlling the clock

932
00:47:52,640 --> 00:47:56,480
Speaker 1: like good special teams. And that's what they're doing, Mitchell.

933
00:47:56,520 --> 00:47:59,799
Speaker 1: They're playing really good defense. Sound they're not allowing Kyler

934
00:48:00,320 --> 00:48:02,440
Speaker 1: to push the ball down the field owe that all

935
00:48:02,480 --> 00:48:04,360
Speaker 1: that much. I mean he threw the ball twenty times

936
00:48:04,360 --> 00:48:06,440
Speaker 1: this game. He was thirteen to twenty for one point

937
00:48:06,440 --> 00:48:10,280
Speaker 1: fifty four, no touchdowns, no interception. He did lose that fumble.

938
00:48:10,360 --> 00:48:14,279
Speaker 1: But they're they're not gonna put the ball in Harm's way.

939
00:48:14,320 --> 00:48:17,280
Speaker 1: They're gonna be efficient. Don't turn the ball over, Kyler

940
00:48:17,360 --> 00:48:19,439
Speaker 1: running when you can and give it to James Connor,

941
00:48:19,560 --> 00:48:23,000
Speaker 1: let him wear the defense down. And it's winning football.

942
00:48:23,040 --> 00:48:27,120
Speaker 1: They're five and four, they've been they this Bears defense

943
00:48:27,200 --> 00:48:30,000
Speaker 1: that I have a lot of respect for. Jalen Johnson

944
00:48:30,000 --> 00:48:32,920
Speaker 1: and the boys have been playing really good football all

945
00:48:33,000 --> 00:48:34,960
Speaker 1: year long, and this is this is one of those

946
00:48:35,000 --> 00:48:38,239
Speaker 1: games where I think they just had an off game.

947
00:48:38,360 --> 00:48:41,040
Speaker 1: They just had an off day. And so did Caleb Williams.

948
00:48:41,120 --> 00:48:43,279
Speaker 1: I mean, he just did not look good. You saw,

949
00:48:43,560 --> 00:48:45,840
Speaker 1: you know, the one pass where he tried to side

950
00:48:45,880 --> 00:48:48,440
Speaker 1: on you know, short stop to first base, throw it

951
00:48:49,040 --> 00:48:50,759
Speaker 1: down the field and it almost got picked off. But

952
00:48:50,800 --> 00:48:53,239
Speaker 1: it just seemed like they didn't they didn't want to

953
00:48:53,280 --> 00:48:57,520
Speaker 1: catch that football. It was too hot. But Caleb Williams

954
00:48:57,560 --> 00:49:00,880
Speaker 1: twenty two or forty two hundred and seventeen yards, no touchdowns,

955
00:49:00,960 --> 00:49:04,400
Speaker 1: no interceptions, but sacked six times a beat up in

956
00:49:04,440 --> 00:49:07,120
Speaker 1: this game. Arizona was bringing pressure from all over the

957
00:49:07,160 --> 00:49:11,160
Speaker 1: place and you look up and Xavian Collins or Xavon

958
00:49:11,239 --> 00:49:14,880
Speaker 1: Collins two sacks, Xavier Thomas sack and a half guys

959
00:49:14,880 --> 00:49:17,840
Speaker 1: getting pressure. But this is a relatively a team with

960
00:49:18,400 --> 00:49:21,960
Speaker 1: relatively unknown players outside of Buddha Baker. You don't know

961
00:49:22,000 --> 00:49:23,759
Speaker 1: a ton of these guys on this defense that are

962
00:49:23,800 --> 00:49:27,400
Speaker 1: making plays. You know, Zavon Collins was drafted pretty high.

963
00:49:27,440 --> 00:49:32,400
Speaker 1: Outside of James Connor and Kyler Murray, Marvin Harrison junior,

964
00:49:33,920 --> 00:49:36,239
Speaker 1: you don't know a ton about this offense and what

965
00:49:36,280 --> 00:49:39,840
Speaker 1: they've been doing. But Mitchell, they're getting the job done.

966
00:49:40,040 --> 00:49:43,240
Speaker 1: And if you don't, they're leading the NFC West right now, Minchell.

967
00:49:43,239 --> 00:49:45,880
Speaker 1: And if you don't, if the San Francisco forty nine

968
00:49:45,960 --> 00:49:48,400
Speaker 1: or Seattle Seahawks and the Rams don't get their stuff together,

969
00:49:48,680 --> 00:49:51,399
Speaker 1: they will walk away with it. Cardinals are playing the Jets,

970
00:49:51,440 --> 00:49:54,240
Speaker 1: who just got to win on Thursday against the Houston

971
00:49:54,239 --> 00:49:57,560
Speaker 1: Texans and maybe getting their mojo back. But with this

972
00:49:57,640 --> 00:50:00,640
Speaker 1: wild card Cardinals team, you just never know. You never

973
00:50:00,680 --> 00:50:02,960
Speaker 1: know what they're gonna do. You don't.

974
00:50:03,080 --> 00:50:06,080
Speaker 2: I mean, they look that this game next weekend is

975
00:50:06,080 --> 00:50:07,880
Speaker 2: going to be a huge game for both teams, the

976
00:50:07,920 --> 00:50:10,960
Speaker 2: Cardinals against the Jets, and then you look at the Bears.

977
00:50:11,040 --> 00:50:13,240
Speaker 2: I mean they're four and four. A lot of folks

978
00:50:13,239 --> 00:50:17,440
Speaker 2: in Chicago were hot on this team. But let's set

979
00:50:17,440 --> 00:50:20,000
Speaker 2: these fans back to reality. Their four wins have come

980
00:50:20,000 --> 00:50:26,160
Speaker 2: against the Panthers, an injury injury riddled Rams team, the Jags,

981
00:50:26,200 --> 00:50:29,359
Speaker 2: and the Titans. So they get another opportunity next week

982
00:50:29,400 --> 00:50:32,040
Speaker 2: to add to their resume with a potential win against

983
00:50:32,080 --> 00:50:36,160
Speaker 2: the Patriots. I gotta see more from the Chicago Bears.

984
00:50:36,320 --> 00:50:39,399
Speaker 2: This was an opportunity on the road against a team

985
00:50:39,520 --> 00:50:42,560
Speaker 2: needing to win in Arizona for them to show themselves,

986
00:50:42,719 --> 00:50:45,560
Speaker 2: and I think they dropped it. I don't know rich.

987
00:50:45,640 --> 00:50:50,160
Speaker 2: I mean, this NFC North is a highly contested battle

988
00:50:50,360 --> 00:50:53,319
Speaker 2: going on right now. I think Chicago might fade a

989
00:50:53,320 --> 00:50:56,560
Speaker 2: little bit. But let's talk about a team that needs

990
00:50:56,600 --> 00:50:59,600
Speaker 2: to rise, and that's the Cincinnati Bengals. They were in

991
00:50:59,719 --> 00:51:03,440
Speaker 2: much need of a win this week hosting the Raiders,

992
00:51:03,840 --> 00:51:07,800
Speaker 2: and they they did what they did and they absolutely

993
00:51:07,800 --> 00:51:12,040
Speaker 2: obliterated the Las Vegas Raiders. Joe Burrow had a field day,

994
00:51:12,040 --> 00:51:16,000
Speaker 2: throwing for five touchdowns. Is it safe to say that

995
00:51:16,040 --> 00:51:19,920
Speaker 2: the Cincinnati Bengals are back to what we thought they

996
00:51:19,920 --> 00:51:23,000
Speaker 2: would be. Are they in competition area? Where where's your

997
00:51:23,000 --> 00:51:24,560
Speaker 2: head at with this team?

998
00:51:25,000 --> 00:51:27,719
Speaker 1: Well, I don't I still don't know, Betchell, I don't know.

999
00:51:27,800 --> 00:51:29,200
Speaker 1: Let me let me, let me look at a couple

1000
00:51:29,239 --> 00:51:34,640
Speaker 1: of things, because the Cincinnati Bengals are just inconsistent. And

1001
00:51:35,120 --> 00:51:38,640
Speaker 1: what they've been over the last four games defensively is

1002
00:51:38,640 --> 00:51:41,520
Speaker 1: a much better team than they've been over the first

1003
00:51:41,640 --> 00:51:46,240
Speaker 1: four games. Almost two different, totally different teams in general.

1004
00:51:46,320 --> 00:51:52,319
Speaker 1: But you look up and you say, this team has

1005
00:51:52,480 --> 00:51:55,240
Speaker 1: all the talent in the world. They have the ability

1006
00:51:55,280 --> 00:51:57,320
Speaker 1: to turn up on defense, they have the corners to

1007
00:51:57,320 --> 00:51:59,680
Speaker 1: play at a high level, they have the pass rushers

1008
00:52:00,400 --> 00:52:04,279
Speaker 1: to get to the quarterback and Hendrickson and Hubbard. But

1009
00:52:04,280 --> 00:52:08,480
Speaker 1: but you just don't see it consistently. And Joe Burrows

1010
00:52:08,520 --> 00:52:11,000
Speaker 1: throws five touchdown passes for the second time this season.

1011
00:52:11,239 --> 00:52:13,200
Speaker 1: But then you look up and you're like, oh, he

1012
00:52:13,280 --> 00:52:16,040
Speaker 1: must be he must have thirty touchdowns this year, and

1013
00:52:16,080 --> 00:52:18,520
Speaker 1: he doesn't. He's not. He's not leading the league right

1014
00:52:18,520 --> 00:52:24,279
Speaker 1: now in touchdown passes. I think he has well, he's third,

1015
00:52:24,400 --> 00:52:27,279
Speaker 1: he started third in the league. So a quarter of

1016
00:52:27,320 --> 00:52:32,600
Speaker 1: his touchdown passes came today. Uh So without t Higgins

1017
00:52:32,600 --> 00:52:35,080
Speaker 1: in the lineup, you you wonder can they beat a

1018
00:52:35,120 --> 00:52:39,600
Speaker 1: team like the like the Baltimore Ravens. Hopefully he's gonna

1019
00:52:39,640 --> 00:52:41,080
Speaker 1: get back. I thought he had a chance to get

1020
00:52:41,120 --> 00:52:44,480
Speaker 1: back this week. He'll be back next week. But this

1021
00:52:44,520 --> 00:52:47,319
Speaker 1: is the team we expected to see. Trey Hendrickson four

1022
00:52:47,400 --> 00:52:50,680
Speaker 1: sacks in the game. Really incredible game for him. Uh

1023
00:52:50,880 --> 00:52:54,359
Speaker 1: in that defense. Just Secie. I don't know why I'd

1024
00:52:54,360 --> 00:52:56,879
Speaker 1: like to say his name, just it just sounds cool.

1025
00:52:57,760 --> 00:53:00,600
Speaker 1: But he had five catches for over a hundred yards,

1026
00:53:00,640 --> 00:53:02,799
Speaker 1: two touchdown passes, and he could have had another one.

1027
00:53:03,280 --> 00:53:05,680
Speaker 1: He looks like he can emerge as one of Joe

1028
00:53:05,680 --> 00:53:09,920
Speaker 1: Burrow's top top targets because outside of him, Jamar Chase

1029
00:53:09,960 --> 00:53:13,120
Speaker 1: had I think forty seven yards and nobody really really

1030
00:53:13,280 --> 00:53:16,040
Speaker 1: woke up outside of Chiasecke. He seemed like he had

1031
00:53:16,080 --> 00:53:19,359
Speaker 1: the matchup that they wanted to exploit, and they exploited it.

1032
00:53:20,280 --> 00:53:22,879
Speaker 1: Trace Brown ran the ball really well, caught the ball

1033
00:53:22,880 --> 00:53:25,360
Speaker 1: out of the backfield really well. Twenty seven carries for

1034
00:53:25,360 --> 00:53:27,880
Speaker 1: one hundred and twenty yards. He also had five catches

1035
00:53:27,880 --> 00:53:31,399
Speaker 1: for thirty seven yards. In a touchdown pass. So we're

1036
00:53:31,400 --> 00:53:33,960
Speaker 1: gonna find out what they are this week, Mitchell. They

1037
00:53:33,960 --> 00:53:36,920
Speaker 1: play the Baltimore Ravens on Thursday Night football only on

1038
00:53:37,000 --> 00:53:39,520
Speaker 1: Prime Video, and I'm gonna be there, Mitchell, and I'm

1039
00:53:39,520 --> 00:53:42,239
Speaker 1: gonna keep a very very close eye on this offense

1040
00:53:42,880 --> 00:53:46,720
Speaker 1: and how they execute if T. Higgins isn't in the lineup,

1041
00:53:46,800 --> 00:53:51,080
Speaker 1: because that's just I think their second win over since

1042
00:53:51,080 --> 00:53:53,640
Speaker 1: twenty twenty three with T. Higgins out of the lineup.

1043
00:53:53,719 --> 00:53:55,920
Speaker 1: So now they're two and six when he's not in

1044
00:53:55,920 --> 00:53:58,640
Speaker 1: the lineup, And this offense looked really good. Give Joe

1045
00:53:58,640 --> 00:54:00,359
Speaker 1: Burrow a lot of credit to hundred five ffty one

1046
00:54:00,400 --> 00:54:03,959
Speaker 1: yards five touchdown passes. He got the job done, found

1047
00:54:04,040 --> 00:54:06,680
Speaker 1: other guys to really be able to push the ball

1048
00:54:06,760 --> 00:54:09,360
Speaker 1: down the field. But is it sustainable?

1049
00:54:09,800 --> 00:54:13,959
Speaker 2: We shall see, We shall, and we shall. Last week

1050
00:54:14,000 --> 00:54:16,840
Speaker 2: I post you a question, I said, are the Chargers

1051
00:54:16,880 --> 00:54:18,400
Speaker 2: the best defense in football?

1052
00:54:18,400 --> 00:54:18,840
Speaker 1: Buy? Or so?

1053
00:54:19,040 --> 00:54:21,600
Speaker 2: And you sold on that Richard.

1054
00:54:21,760 --> 00:54:22,160
Speaker 1: Today.

1055
00:54:22,200 --> 00:54:25,120
Speaker 2: I know they were going against the Browns and Jamis Winston,

1056
00:54:25,239 --> 00:54:29,239
Speaker 2: but they certainly at times have me thinking, man, this

1057
00:54:29,320 --> 00:54:32,880
Speaker 2: might be the best defense in football. Has your mindset

1058
00:54:33,040 --> 00:54:35,160
Speaker 2: changed at all after seeing then? Today?

1059
00:54:36,440 --> 00:54:39,960
Speaker 1: Take it to the Cleveland Browns. It hasn't changed. But again,

1060
00:54:40,080 --> 00:54:43,000
Speaker 1: they're living up to the potential that they've showed over

1061
00:54:43,000 --> 00:54:46,360
Speaker 1: the last what five years, four or five years with

1062
00:54:46,600 --> 00:54:50,160
Speaker 1: the talent that they had. I mean, Derwin, James, Sante,

1063
00:54:50,200 --> 00:54:54,040
Speaker 1: Samuel Junior, Joey Bosa, Khalil Mack, you know, the names

1064
00:54:54,080 --> 00:54:56,759
Speaker 1: go on and on and on, all these Pro Bowl,

1065
00:54:56,880 --> 00:55:00,719
Speaker 1: All Pro caliber players, and they're starting to play together

1066
00:55:01,000 --> 00:55:04,440
Speaker 1: as a really talented unit. You got Justin Herbert playing

1067
00:55:04,520 --> 00:55:08,200
Speaker 1: really good football, and it's flipped back and forth because

1068
00:55:08,600 --> 00:55:10,600
Speaker 1: earlier in the season they were leaning on the run

1069
00:55:10,640 --> 00:55:13,000
Speaker 1: game and JK. Dobbins was winning Player of the Week

1070
00:55:13,040 --> 00:55:15,879
Speaker 1: and you know, had all that acclaim, making all those

1071
00:55:15,920 --> 00:55:18,440
Speaker 1: big plays, and I think he's still playing solid football.

1072
00:55:18,440 --> 00:55:20,600
Speaker 1: He had fourteen carries for eighty five yards and two

1073
00:55:20,680 --> 00:55:23,800
Speaker 1: touchdowns today. But they're starting to lean on Justin Herbert

1074
00:55:23,880 --> 00:55:25,920
Speaker 1: a little bit more. Eighteen to twenty seven for two

1075
00:55:26,000 --> 00:55:30,719
Speaker 1: hundred and eighty two yards, two touchdown passes. But the

1076
00:55:30,800 --> 00:55:34,040
Speaker 1: guy who's been the greatest surprise this season has been

1077
00:55:34,120 --> 00:55:36,799
Speaker 1: Quinton Johnson. A lot of people were calling him a

1078
00:55:36,840 --> 00:55:39,640
Speaker 1: bus last season that you know, he was dropping a

1079
00:55:39,680 --> 00:55:42,759
Speaker 1: lot of passes easy passes, wide open passes, and this

1080
00:55:42,880 --> 00:55:45,359
Speaker 1: year it just seems like he's turned everything around. It's

1081
00:55:45,400 --> 00:55:49,680
Speaker 1: been a beautiful, wonderful story of redemption for this young

1082
00:55:49,760 --> 00:55:54,239
Speaker 1: man and it's really helped to power this offense. During

1083
00:55:54,320 --> 00:55:57,560
Speaker 1: this run. They've been on their defense, holding the Browns

1084
00:55:57,560 --> 00:56:00,759
Speaker 1: to ten points. They picked off Jamis three times. That's

1085
00:56:00,800 --> 00:56:03,719
Speaker 1: why the Chargers are this week's Uber Eats Almost Almost

1086
00:56:03,719 --> 00:56:06,680
Speaker 1: Perfect Defense. This segment is brought to you by Uber Eats.

1087
00:56:06,719 --> 00:56:09,800
Speaker 1: It highlights the defense that put on the week's most

1088
00:56:09,800 --> 00:56:13,960
Speaker 1: dominating performance. And again, there are three interceptions of Jamis.

1089
00:56:14,080 --> 00:56:16,839
Speaker 1: They sacked them six times. It was just so much

1090
00:56:17,000 --> 00:56:20,560
Speaker 1: chaos going on. They were in his face, made him

1091
00:56:20,600 --> 00:56:23,480
Speaker 1: uncomfortable the entire game. Coming off a huge win where

1092
00:56:23,480 --> 00:56:26,279
Speaker 1: they beat the Baltimore Ravens, everybody was looking forward to

1093
00:56:26,280 --> 00:56:28,799
Speaker 1: seeing what Jamis would do in this game. But the

1094
00:56:28,920 --> 00:56:32,239
Speaker 1: Chargers never allowed him to get going, never allowed him

1095
00:56:32,280 --> 00:56:35,840
Speaker 1: to feel comfortable. They I mean, they dropped one. Durwin

1096
00:56:35,960 --> 00:56:39,040
Speaker 1: James dropped a really easy interception too, so it could

1097
00:56:39,040 --> 00:56:43,320
Speaker 1: have been four. But that's this week's Uber Eats Almost

1098
00:56:43,360 --> 00:56:45,799
Speaker 1: Almost Perfect Defense of the Week. And remember, you can

1101
00:56:55,800 --> 00:56:56,400
Speaker 1: no question.

1102
00:56:56,520 --> 00:56:59,439
Speaker 2: I mean Jamis Winston was a hot name after last

1103
00:56:59,440 --> 00:57:02,200
Speaker 2: week's fremans. I mean heck, I started him in daily

1104
00:57:02,239 --> 00:57:04,800
Speaker 2: Fantasy this week. I thought he could be a flyer

1105
00:57:04,840 --> 00:57:10,520
Speaker 2: on DraftKings, a friend of the program. But not so fast.

1106
00:57:10,560 --> 00:57:13,800
Speaker 2: This Chargers defense on the road held their own. They're

1107
00:57:13,840 --> 00:57:18,080
Speaker 2: deserving recipients of this week's almost almost perfect defense. Like

1108
00:57:18,120 --> 00:57:20,920
Speaker 2: you said, brought to her by our friends at uber eats,

1109
00:57:21,440 --> 00:57:25,000
Speaker 2: Uh Richard, Let's talk about the Bills. This game was

1110
00:57:25,040 --> 00:57:28,160
Speaker 2: a lot closer than I think a lot expected. Another

1111
00:57:28,240 --> 00:57:32,400
Speaker 2: Division game against the Dolphins comes down to the wire.

1112
00:57:32,560 --> 00:57:36,880
Speaker 2: The Bills escape with a game winning field goal. What's

1113
00:57:36,920 --> 00:57:40,240
Speaker 2: the strategy going forward? Let's start with the Dolphins because

1114
00:57:40,240 --> 00:57:42,640
Speaker 2: it seems like they're the season is at a loss.

1115
00:57:42,720 --> 00:57:44,640
Speaker 2: Do you just sit to it at this point or

1116
00:57:44,680 --> 00:57:47,200
Speaker 2: what do you do if you are the coach and

1117
00:57:47,280 --> 00:57:50,560
Speaker 2: general manager of this Dolphins team?

1118
00:57:50,920 --> 00:57:55,840
Speaker 1: Well clearly want to so I don't think you do that.

1119
00:57:57,160 --> 00:57:59,640
Speaker 1: I think you just keep competing. You know, teams have

1120
00:57:59,680 --> 00:58:04,560
Speaker 1: come back and teams have rallied, and the Miami Dolphins

1121
00:58:04,560 --> 00:58:07,120
Speaker 1: being one of them. I remember when Flores was there.

1122
00:58:07,160 --> 00:58:09,240
Speaker 1: I think they won seven straight to end the season,

1123
00:58:09,840 --> 00:58:12,000
Speaker 1: tried to get themselves in the playoff hunt and barely

1124
00:58:12,040 --> 00:58:15,080
Speaker 1: missed it. I don't think inn the NFL, you have

1125
00:58:15,160 --> 00:58:18,320
Speaker 1: teams that punt seasons. I know you have teams that

1126
00:58:18,360 --> 00:58:21,520
Speaker 1: don't have good enough teams to compete, Like right now,

1127
00:58:21,560 --> 00:58:25,440
Speaker 1: the Carolina Panthers are dealing with that offensively, the Browns

1128
00:58:25,480 --> 00:58:29,320
Speaker 1: are dealing with a little bit of that. The Patriots.

1129
00:58:29,320 --> 00:58:32,240
Speaker 1: The Patriots are dealing with issues the Jacksonville Jaguars. You

1130
00:58:32,280 --> 00:58:35,840
Speaker 1: know teams where you're just like, hey, can't figure it out.

1131
00:58:35,920 --> 00:58:38,760
Speaker 1: You can't figure out what's not working for your team.

1132
00:58:39,640 --> 00:58:42,320
Speaker 1: But no, I don't think you pumped the season. I

1133
00:58:42,360 --> 00:58:46,000
Speaker 1: think you got to keep competing. Buffalo obviously having a

1134
00:58:46,000 --> 00:58:48,520
Speaker 1: great season. We talked about all the great things Josh

1135
00:58:48,600 --> 00:58:53,960
Speaker 1: Allen's doing, had another great game this game, and the

1136
00:58:54,000 --> 00:58:56,600
Speaker 1: Dolphins had opportunities to win this game, to walk away

1137
00:58:56,640 --> 00:58:58,840
Speaker 1: with the W and just things just aren't the boys

1138
00:58:58,840 --> 00:59:01,880
Speaker 1: and bouncing their way this season on either side of

1139
00:59:01,880 --> 00:59:04,920
Speaker 1: the ball. But all you can do is keep competing.

1140
00:59:06,200 --> 00:59:10,560
Speaker 2: A no question. I mean the Bills, everyone expected them

1141
00:59:10,640 --> 00:59:13,680
Speaker 2: to win, but Miami came out. They needed this win

1142
00:59:13,800 --> 00:59:17,000
Speaker 2: more and like you said, crazier things have happened. You

1143
00:59:17,120 --> 00:59:20,640
Speaker 2: got to keep that gas pedal to the floor if

1144
00:59:20,680 --> 00:59:23,040
Speaker 2: you're Miami, because what is the alternative? I mean, you

1145
00:59:23,040 --> 00:59:25,520
Speaker 2: already got your quarterback, you already got your playmakers and

1146
00:59:25,600 --> 00:59:30,840
Speaker 2: now healthy. Let's see where this season goes, Richard, that

1147
00:59:30,880 --> 00:59:33,400
Speaker 2: can go. I mean we're through week nine already, We're

1148
00:59:33,440 --> 00:59:38,400
Speaker 2: past the halfway point. Where does your head go the

1149
00:59:38,400 --> 00:59:41,600
Speaker 2: rest of the way? I mean, because we've got my

1150
00:59:41,720 --> 00:59:45,760
Speaker 2: Detroit Lions, who I believe. I know the Kansas City

1151
00:59:45,840 --> 00:59:48,120
Speaker 2: Chiefs are playing on Monday Night Football, but I believe

1152
00:59:48,120 --> 00:59:51,320
Speaker 2: they've shown enough to show you, Richard Sherman, that they

1153
00:59:51,360 --> 00:59:54,720
Speaker 2: are deserving of your number one spot and your power ranks.

1154
00:59:55,240 --> 00:59:57,080
Speaker 2: What else do they have to do to prove you

1155
00:59:57,320 --> 00:59:58,160
Speaker 2: that they are worthy?

1156
00:59:58,800 --> 01:00:00,800
Speaker 1: Kansas City Chiefs has to lose. It has less to

1157
01:00:00,840 --> 01:00:03,000
Speaker 1: do with the Honolulu Blue Detroit Lions and more to

1158
01:00:03,000 --> 01:00:05,880
Speaker 1: do with Kansas City Chiefs. There are the defending Super

1159
01:00:05,880 --> 01:00:08,320
Speaker 1: Bowl champions and have not lost the game. So for

1160
01:00:08,360 --> 01:00:11,280
Speaker 1: me to take them out of the top spot would

1161
01:00:11,320 --> 01:00:14,320
Speaker 1: be what they consider asinine. Mitchell, I cannot do it.

1162
01:00:14,360 --> 01:00:17,160
Speaker 1: I will not do it, and they must be dethroned,

1163
01:00:17,240 --> 01:00:19,520
Speaker 1: and once they are dethroned, then I will put the

1164
01:00:19,560 --> 01:00:22,280
Speaker 1: Detroit Lions up there. But not so fast, my friend.

1165
01:00:22,280 --> 01:00:24,680
Speaker 1: They are seven and zero have not lost the game,

1166
01:00:25,200 --> 01:00:28,560
Speaker 1: and I'm waiting for somebody to figure them out and

1167
01:00:28,600 --> 01:00:29,240
Speaker 1: give them an al.

1168
01:00:30,600 --> 01:00:34,160
Speaker 2: I respect that answer. I respect it, Richard. This concludes

1169
01:00:34,240 --> 01:00:36,600
Speaker 2: a week nine sign us off.

1170
01:00:36,640 --> 01:00:39,080
