1
00:00:00,520 --> 00:00:08,959
Speaker 1: Be Around the NFL Podcast manufactured show. We got back

2
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:12,160
Speaker 1: to another edition of the Around the NFL Podcast. My

3
00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:14,520
Speaker 1: name is Dan Hansis, and I am joined in a

4
00:00:14,600 --> 00:00:19,120
Speaker 1: room filled with heroes, Mark Sessler, Chris Wesley, and Greg Rosenthal.

5
00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:24,439
Speaker 1: What is a boys? Hey Dan? Week seventeen. I thought

6
00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:27,840
Speaker 1: there was like a curse of football for a while. Uh,

7
00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:30,480
Speaker 1: the old suser, you know, has a couple of titos

8
00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:32,559
Speaker 1: and tries to get into college football on Saturday and

9
00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:36,160
Speaker 1: just got bombed out by two just wretched football games.

10
00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:38,239
Speaker 1: And then I'm thinking, I'm on my high horse. I

11
00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:40,879
Speaker 1: was about to begin today's podcast. I was thinking last night,

12
00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:43,959
Speaker 1: by just destroying the college games, how great the pro

13
00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:46,640
Speaker 1: game is. In the early games today, it was like,

14
00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:49,440
Speaker 1: oh my god, maybe there's something bigger going on with

15
00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:52,159
Speaker 1: the sport, maybe some type of curse. But there was

16
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:54,840
Speaker 1: some fun in the labor saved us as always, saved

17
00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:58,880
Speaker 1: football as always, and the NFL does wipe the floor

18
00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:01,959
Speaker 1: with college please the very best of their players can

19
00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:04,520
Speaker 1: only hope to get into this league. By definition, it's

20
00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:09,319
Speaker 1: the primary issue. The issue with college football for me

21
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:11,640
Speaker 1: is like I have you know, over the course of

22
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:14,080
Speaker 1: ten thousand games that are on various TVs. Don't care

23
00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:17,240
Speaker 1: about the result of any of them ever. Well that

24
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:19,679
Speaker 1: I mean, that's a problem for them hooking you. If

25
00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:22,880
Speaker 1: they haven't done it by now, they probably won't. But

26
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:25,560
Speaker 1: there's a lot to get to. Yes, that was one

27
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:26,959
Speaker 1: of my and we're gonna get to one of my

28
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:30,479
Speaker 1: favorite scenes, probably my favorite scene of the two thousand

29
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:36,320
Speaker 1: eighteen season, was an entire see of silver or black

30
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:41,560
Speaker 1: and yellow at hines Field. Eight fans, fifty three players

31
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:45,639
Speaker 1: on the field, coaches watching the Browns, hoping that Baker

32
00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:49,040
Speaker 1: Mayfield could will them into the the Browns to win.

33
00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:51,840
Speaker 1: It didn't happen, and it costs the Steelers their season.

34
00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:54,240
Speaker 1: We'll get to all that, but why don't we start

35
00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:56,760
Speaker 1: on them. Let's dive right into it with a team

36
00:01:56,760 --> 00:02:00,040
Speaker 1: that did claim the A f C. North very for

37
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:04,000
Speaker 1: Mafia to throw under pressure, his passers intercepted C. J.

38
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:11,440
Speaker 1: Mosick go down mostly with the interceptions. The bar and

39
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:16,000
Speaker 1: the Ravens are in the pos and this house is

40
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:22,880
Speaker 1: on F Jerry Sandusky justin four set W B A

41
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:25,919
Speaker 1: L with the call. Baker Mayfield's fourth and long past

42
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:28,480
Speaker 1: intercepted the last minute turn over. The difference in the

43
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:34,480
Speaker 1: Ravens over the Browns at a delirious mm T Bank Stadium.

44
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:36,359
Speaker 1: The win clinches the a f C North with the

45
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:38,639
Speaker 1: Ravens one year after they were knocked out of the

46
00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:41,560
Speaker 1: playoffs and stunning fashion by the Bengals in Week seventeen.

47
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:45,519
Speaker 1: The lasso also effectively eliminates the Steelers, or eliminated the

48
00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:48,079
Speaker 1: Steelers at the moment. That is a good day at

49
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:53,400
Speaker 1: the office, Mark Sessler. For the Ravens and company, the

50
00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:56,560
Speaker 1: better team has made the playoffs from the a f

51
00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:59,440
Speaker 1: C North in a team that is surging in all

52
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:01,760
Speaker 1: the right way right now. The Ravens shut down the

53
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:04,600
Speaker 1: run and they are running the ball in a way

54
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:07,200
Speaker 1: that I've never seen any team do, and that's not

55
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:12,880
Speaker 1: and a lot of that came in the first three quarters.

56
00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:17,040
Speaker 1: They mauled Cleveland's run defense early. And what I think

57
00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:19,080
Speaker 1: is so impressive about them and why there's such a

58
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 1: danger to the Chargers and whoever else they played down

59
00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:26,480
Speaker 1: the stretch, is that they force your offense into morphing,

60
00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:29,639
Speaker 1: into a big play attack or you're gone. And Cleveland

61
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:31,720
Speaker 1: responded with big plays today and they came around and

62
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:34,120
Speaker 1: hung around in this game, and we're able to you

63
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:36,680
Speaker 1: know with Baker Mayfield and with an assortment of wide

64
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:39,760
Speaker 1: receivers get back into it. But if you don't find

65
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:41,680
Speaker 1: the way to do that, if you're the Chargers next week,

66
00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:43,440
Speaker 1: you're in a lot of hot water. There were some

67
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:45,360
Speaker 1: weird plays in this game, which we can get into it,

68
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:47,720
Speaker 1: that I thought hurt Cleveland too. They had a killer

69
00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:50,800
Speaker 1: miss field goal, and they had a Lamar Jackson goal

70
00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:55,080
Speaker 1: line dive for a touchdown right the ball bounces out

71
00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:58,680
Speaker 1: of his hands, it ricochet's back and is picked up

72
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:00,640
Speaker 1: picked up by Jabril Preppers who looks like he's gonna

73
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:02,720
Speaker 1: run for a touchdown. He essentially does, but it was

74
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 1: blown dead by the ref swhich is a fourteen points swing.

75
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:10,000
Speaker 1: But Cleveland also failed to stop Baltimore too many times

76
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:11,560
Speaker 1: in this game. You have to give credit to the

77
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:13,480
Speaker 1: Another way to look at that is that if Lamar

78
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:16,040
Speaker 1: Jackson kind of didn't do it unforced there there, it's

79
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:18,719
Speaker 1: twenty seven to seven, and they came out with a purpose.

80
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:21,640
Speaker 1: And that's what's impressive about Baltimore's running game is that

81
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:24,240
Speaker 1: they come it. Usually you see with the running game,

82
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:26,320
Speaker 1: you pile up yardage at the end of the games,

83
00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:28,440
Speaker 1: and this is not the first time this has happened,

84
00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:31,839
Speaker 1: where their first eleven, their first fourteen carries the average

85
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:34,400
Speaker 1: eleven yards per carry. This wasn't a small sampo. It's

86
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:38,279
Speaker 1: five for Dickson, five for Jackson, five or six for Edwards.

87
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:40,080
Speaker 1: All of them ended up with great yards per cary.

88
00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:42,440
Speaker 1: But they're coming out being able to run the ball

89
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:45,120
Speaker 1: like that. You just like, don't ever see that. We

90
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:48,440
Speaker 1: always complained we got a lock. That was my lock. Yes,

91
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:52,880
Speaker 1: oh you're red hot. I mean, it's all just it's

92
00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:55,880
Speaker 1: all just setting up. Uh dude, this checkout in the deskt.

93
00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:58,240
Speaker 1: I like to look at the desert much SNA area

94
00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:01,320
Speaker 1: before this name kim O On of two thousand two,

95
00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:03,800
Speaker 1: when he came back from the twelve down with twelve

96
00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:06,000
Speaker 1: to play, one of the great picks comebacks, just checked

97
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:08,680
Speaker 1: out in the with the desert. Well, this was just

98
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:12,919
Speaker 1: a lock a lock. I mean, I don't have to

99
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:15,360
Speaker 1: I know how this narrative plays out at various times,

100
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:18,480
Speaker 1: but fair enough. Um oh, I see what you're saying. Yeah, yeah,

101
00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:21,520
Speaker 1: it was under it was under a touchdown. Um lamar Jackson.

102
00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:25,600
Speaker 1: This running game, this defense, it is a cliche and

103
00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:28,039
Speaker 1: a tired one west but they are the Ravens the

104
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:30,560
Speaker 1: proverbial team you do not want to play right now,

105
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:33,640
Speaker 1: and they are. Even though I was excited about the

106
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:35,760
Speaker 1: Steelers maybe backing in at the end of the day,

107
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:38,440
Speaker 1: especially after the Steelers kind of over underwhelmed today and

108
00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:41,159
Speaker 1: it must win game. The Ravens are the team that

109
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:42,760
Speaker 1: should be in the a f C mix and they

110
00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:45,520
Speaker 1: could beat anybody in that conference. I think it's like

111
00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:48,480
Speaker 1: Mark said, it's their defense, Mary so well with their

112
00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:51,520
Speaker 1: running game, and we complain all the time about coaches

113
00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:55,000
Speaker 1: crumbling in the crucible of a tight game. Playing conservative.

114
00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:58,599
Speaker 1: You see Wink Martindale dial up four straight zero blitz

115
00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:02,440
Speaker 1: is to end the aim. I mean that was incredible

116
00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:04,400
Speaker 1: to watch it. I mean they're leaving nobody in the

117
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:07,239
Speaker 1: defensive backfield. They're just coming after Baker right and Baker

118
00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:09,040
Speaker 1: Rakefield had a chance on I think it was second

119
00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:11,279
Speaker 1: down to hit Jarvis Landry. He rushed to throw a

120
00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:13,400
Speaker 1: little bit without a ton of pressure there on that

121
00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:16,200
Speaker 1: particular play, and if he makes up play, you know,

122
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:18,640
Speaker 1: we have a totally different reaction. Because here's the reality.

123
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:20,839
Speaker 1: They average seven and a half yards for play against

124
00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:22,520
Speaker 1: the Ravens. They hit the Ravens for big plays. They

125
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:24,960
Speaker 1: got four and twenty six yards in this like the

126
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:27,360
Speaker 1: Browns and the Ravens look like very even teams. Well,

127
00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:30,119
Speaker 1: the Ravens have given up three yards passing three times

128
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:33,440
Speaker 1: in this season. It's once to Patrick Mahomes, it's twice

129
00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:37,320
Speaker 1: to Baker Mayfield. And Mayfield today broke the NFL record

130
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:40,799
Speaker 1: rookie record for passing touchdowns. And that's not having played

131
00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:44,480
Speaker 1: the entire season. I mean, they did battle with Baltimore's defense.

132
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:47,159
Speaker 1: It's up to the Chargers to find a way to

133
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:49,200
Speaker 1: do the same thing. I think if you're Gus Bradley

134
00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:51,360
Speaker 1: and you're and you're dealing with how to game plan

135
00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:53,640
Speaker 1: for them, you are sweating right now. I think it

136
00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:55,880
Speaker 1: really helps, so they just play it does I think

137
00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:58,600
Speaker 1: it helps the Charges just because the Ravens have are

138
00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:00,479
Speaker 1: such a tough team to prepare for. But we'll have

139
00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:02,760
Speaker 1: all week to talk about we will, and you could look,

140
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:04,800
Speaker 1: you could see the other side of that argument as well.

141
00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:07,600
Speaker 1: We will get into all that as the week rolls on,

142
00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:09,840
Speaker 1: but for now, let's move on to another game with

143
00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:13,160
Speaker 1: huge playoff implications, this time in the NFC White Wims

144
00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:15,160
Speaker 1: in Bellamy scattered to the left side calling to the

145
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:17,440
Speaker 1: right of Mr Trabisky. Five of the play clock. Bears

146
00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:19,080
Speaker 1: moving right to left takes their snaff. Give it a

147
00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:23,240
Speaker 1: co It's got the goal like barrels into the end

148
00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:27,239
Speaker 1: zone for the touchdown. Coin's in from the free Bears

149
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:30,440
Speaker 1: on nineteen ten, seven forty six left of the game.

150
00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:34,200
Speaker 1: Jeff Johnny Act w BBM with the call of Bears.

151
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:36,480
Speaker 1: You know they didn't really have much to play for

152
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:39,920
Speaker 1: once the Rams were taking care of business. But and

153
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:41,640
Speaker 1: the Vikings had everything to play for it, but you

154
00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:44,520
Speaker 1: wouldn't know it from what transpired on Sunday in Minneapolis.

155
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:47,760
Speaker 1: Leaning on a dominant defense that's shut down Kirk Cousins

156
00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:52,400
Speaker 1: and company, the Bears beat the Vikings. The lost, coupled

157
00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:55,640
Speaker 1: with the Eagles win over the Redskins, knocks the Vikings

158
00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:59,520
Speaker 1: out of the playoffs West another season of bitter disappointment

159
00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:03,480
Speaker 1: for a chise that has seen plenty well with this effort. Today,

160
00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:06,160
Speaker 1: they don't belong in the playoffs and I'm glad they're gone.

161
00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:09,240
Speaker 1: The Eagles over the last three weeks have proven that

162
00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:11,600
Speaker 1: they deserve to be there with the season on the line,

163
00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:14,160
Speaker 1: whereas the Vikings and the second half of the season

164
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:17,880
Speaker 1: the offense disappeared. Their offensive line can't push anyone around.

165
00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:21,680
Speaker 1: Whatever disconnect is going on with Kirk Cousins and his receivers.

166
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:24,440
Speaker 1: I mean, this what happened with him in Adam, Finland today.

167
00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:26,800
Speaker 1: That is not the first time that's happened over the

168
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:29,400
Speaker 1: past month. This has been an ongoing issue. Is referring

169
00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:32,240
Speaker 1: to a sideline incident where they appeared to be arguing

170
00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:36,240
Speaker 1: thank you, Yes, they arguing very intensely. Intense is an

171
00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:39,960
Speaker 1: interesting word considering what Mike Zimmer told the Fox Broadcast

172
00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:43,160
Speaker 1: broadcast crew that Kirk Cousins was too amped up, that

173
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:46,040
Speaker 1: he was too tense. And I struggle with how to

174
00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:49,040
Speaker 1: define clutch or how to define performance in big games.

175
00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:52,240
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousin is now four and twenty five against teams

176
00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:55,480
Speaker 1: with winning records in his career, and maybe he maybe

177
00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:57,400
Speaker 1: that's a theme for him throughout his career. He gets

178
00:08:57,400 --> 00:08:59,880
Speaker 1: two tense for big games. But whatever it is, he's

179
00:08:59,880 --> 00:09:02,360
Speaker 1: a good quarterback who doesn't play like a good quarterback

180
00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:05,600
Speaker 1: all the time when especially in late December, we've seen that.

181
00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:07,520
Speaker 1: I mean, when you hear that story about Mike Zimmer

182
00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:10,679
Speaker 1: has to tell him to just go have fun, you know,

183
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:15,080
Speaker 1: before these games because he just knows that too. I

184
00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:17,040
Speaker 1: mean a couple It was a bad day for Mike

185
00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:19,280
Speaker 1: Zimmer and maybe Daniel get into it. I know that

186
00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:21,360
Speaker 1: was on your radar. But here's the other part of

187
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:23,440
Speaker 1: Mike Zimmer's bad day. He came out a halftime. Here's

188
00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:25,000
Speaker 1: what he said to Aaron Andrews. We need to run

189
00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:27,280
Speaker 1: the ball more. That was your takeaway from the first

190
00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:28,760
Speaker 1: half of that game, is that you need to run

191
00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:32,600
Speaker 1: the ball. Takeaway for six, I mean wake up their

192
00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:35,000
Speaker 1: offensive line against the kiem Hicks and those guys they

193
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:36,800
Speaker 1: can't run the ball. I mean you look at it

194
00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:40,560
Speaker 1: was a complete um meltdown for the Vikings on offense.

195
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:43,680
Speaker 1: And and this was something that if you've been following

196
00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:45,600
Speaker 1: the team, this was always in play because they had

197
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:49,440
Speaker 1: shrunk in the spotlight over and over again against teams

198
00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:52,680
Speaker 1: that were better than five hundred. They struggled all season,

199
00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:56,520
Speaker 1: and Cousins has the track record even in Washington of

200
00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:58,720
Speaker 1: not always coming up big one accounted most and it

201
00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:01,679
Speaker 1: all kind of came together in their in their own building.

202
00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:04,319
Speaker 1: I mean, they had a hundred and sixty four yards

203
00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:08,800
Speaker 1: of total offense in the first half. With their season

204
00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:10,840
Speaker 1: on the line against the team that by the third

205
00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:13,680
Speaker 1: quarter had nothing to play for and was pulling key

206
00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:15,520
Speaker 1: players off the field even when the game was still

207
00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:18,439
Speaker 1: somewhat in doubt about midway through the fourth quarter, and

208
00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:21,240
Speaker 1: Khalil Mack and anybody else that you would need if

209
00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:23,200
Speaker 1: you're the Bears to close out a game that mattered,

210
00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:25,680
Speaker 1: Cousins still couldn't find a way to get in the

211
00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:28,560
Speaker 1: end zone. And I don't know what else. Too many downs,

212
00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:31,320
Speaker 1: I mean way too many checkdowns when time was a factor.

213
00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:34,160
Speaker 1: And let's spread the blame around a little bit. A

214
00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:37,120
Speaker 1: defense that could not get off the field on third

215
00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:41,560
Speaker 1: downs against Mitch r Whisky and miss r Whisky without

216
00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:43,679
Speaker 1: in the second half of the game, without his three

217
00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:46,319
Speaker 1: top receivers. They could not get off the field against

218
00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:48,480
Speaker 1: this guy. They could not stop Jordan Howard, who has

219
00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:50,839
Speaker 1: had a bad season, and the Bears running game that

220
00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:53,559
Speaker 1: hasn't been consisted at all. This defense, in its own

221
00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:55,000
Speaker 1: building is supposed to be one of the best in

222
00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:57,040
Speaker 1: the NFL, and they did not play like. The moment

223
00:10:57,080 --> 00:10:59,640
Speaker 1: of hope for Minnesota fans came weeks ago when they

224
00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:03,599
Speaker 1: switched defensive coordinators and came out and thrashed the Dolphins

225
00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:06,280
Speaker 1: with a run heavy attack that you thought, like some

226
00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:08,880
Speaker 1: of these other teams could be that way down the stretch,

227
00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:11,080
Speaker 1: and that was a mirage. It never it never carried

228
00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:13,960
Speaker 1: over from that game. And it's really concerning that you

229
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:17,080
Speaker 1: have to be a head coach telling your multimillion dollar,

230
00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:20,720
Speaker 1: uber expensive quarterback about how to lower your tension rate

231
00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:23,080
Speaker 1: before these games when you have rookie quarterbacks going out

232
00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:25,800
Speaker 1: and playing massive, big games with none of those issues

233
00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:27,360
Speaker 1: being one of them at all. And it goes to

234
00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:30,160
Speaker 1: show how difficult who locked this one up and I

235
00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:33,160
Speaker 1: locked up the VI there it goes to show how

236
00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:35,800
Speaker 1: hard it is to get back because this team they've

237
00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:38,960
Speaker 1: built this defense for this moment for five years really,

238
00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:42,959
Speaker 1: and they replaced their quarterback, they upgrade at quarterback, and

239
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:44,920
Speaker 1: they think they're just gonna be back in the mix.

240
00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:47,320
Speaker 1: And it goes so you gotta show up when you

241
00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:50,440
Speaker 1: have your chance, like the Bears. I can't imagine being

242
00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:52,079
Speaker 1: more proud of a team of the A T L

243
00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:54,480
Speaker 1: than the Bears today in a game that they didn't

244
00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:57,319
Speaker 1: win to go to knockout a division opponent, and you

245
00:11:57,360 --> 00:12:00,000
Speaker 1: should give their I mean, yes, the Vikings offense drop,

246
00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:02,880
Speaker 1: but a lot of teams have struggled against this Bears defense.

247
00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:04,920
Speaker 1: It's the best defense in the league. They don't they

248
00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:06,760
Speaker 1: don't have days like the Ravens have or they give

249
00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:08,599
Speaker 1: up four hundred and sixty yards or whatever out of

250
00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:12,000
Speaker 1: the blue. They're awesome every single week and and it's

251
00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:13,560
Speaker 1: one of the reasons I think like the Bears are

252
00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:16,520
Speaker 1: absolutely a Super Bowl contender, and who knows, this might

253
00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:18,679
Speaker 1: be their time that they need to take advantage of

254
00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:22,280
Speaker 1: because a lot of things are going right. That wide

255
00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:25,480
Speaker 1: receiver they are, they're banged up, and I think Allen

256
00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:28,400
Speaker 1: Robinson sat out on a day where if the game

257
00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:30,880
Speaker 1: really mattered, he would have played. And they did get

258
00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:33,440
Speaker 1: Kyle Long back today. I believe he only played half

259
00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:35,439
Speaker 1: the game, but they're working him back in after being

260
00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:38,000
Speaker 1: out for two months. The Bears finished twelve and four

261
00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:42,240
Speaker 1: UM and if not for the Rams having such a

262
00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:44,040
Speaker 1: great season they would be having, they would be on

263
00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:46,240
Speaker 1: a buy. It's not working out that way. But the Vikings,

264
00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:49,160
Speaker 1: this is gonna be a long offseason for them because

265
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:51,960
Speaker 1: this is one of the like I said at the top,

266
00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:55,880
Speaker 1: a team that has disappointment dotted throughout their history. This

267
00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:59,080
Speaker 1: Cousins was supposed to be the final piece. Instead, they

268
00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:01,520
Speaker 1: don't even make the playoffs this year, and there were

269
00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:03,840
Speaker 1: boo birds in Minnesota. You never hear we went to

270
00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:06,480
Speaker 1: Minneapolis for a super Bowl. Those people do not boo

271
00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:08,960
Speaker 1: that they are supporting their team. But there was such

272
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:11,600
Speaker 1: frustration and you could totally get it. A hundred and

273
00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:14,480
Speaker 1: sixty four total yards. Let us move on to the

274
00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:17,920
Speaker 1: team that took the Vikings playoff spot fools, but the

275
00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:26,320
Speaker 1: scrolls to his luck saw fols buck fire complete. He's

276
00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:30,840
Speaker 1: got a galong. Nick Foles is the magic man. The

277
00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:34,600
Speaker 1: Eagles backup quarterback delivered another fine performance, throwing two touchdowns

278
00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:38,320
Speaker 1: and tying the NFL record with straight completions ott own

279
00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:41,680
Speaker 1: in a zip win over the Redskins. The news wasn't

280
00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:44,199
Speaker 1: all good, however, Folds left the game with a rib injury,

281
00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:47,040
Speaker 1: putting his status in down for next week's wild card

282
00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:49,000
Speaker 1: matchup against the Bears. We'll see how that plays out,

283
00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:51,640
Speaker 1: but a good day for the Eagles. Nick shook. Welcome buddy,

284
00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:55,360
Speaker 1: who got hot, showed hard, and they're going back to

285
00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:57,520
Speaker 1: the dance to defend their title. Yeah, you know. Hopefully

286
00:13:57,600 --> 00:14:01,079
Speaker 1: Nick Foles can recover from what ailed him in this game,

287
00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:03,440
Speaker 1: because he was really good. At one point had a

288
00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:08,640
Speaker 1: twenty five straight completion uh streak, tying Philip Rivers and

289
00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:12,319
Speaker 1: moving the offense. I wouldn't say, you know, this isn't

290
00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:14,640
Speaker 1: peak Eagles like last year or anything like that, but

291
00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:16,880
Speaker 1: it was efficient and it got the job done. And

292
00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:19,400
Speaker 1: you know, meanwhile, their defense did a good job holding

293
00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:21,680
Speaker 1: the Redskins obviously to zero points. I mean it was

294
00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:23,720
Speaker 1: it was a completely feeble effort on the part of

295
00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:26,760
Speaker 1: the Redskins. So if there was one way to chalk

296
00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:29,680
Speaker 1: up a route to kind of backdoor your way into

297
00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:33,520
Speaker 1: the playoffs, I mean, there's nothing backdoor about what the

298
00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:36,360
Speaker 1: Eagles pulled off here. Yeah, you know, I mean everyone

299
00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:38,120
Speaker 1: thought they were dead in the water when Dallas beat

300
00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:40,360
Speaker 1: him in overtime and they just said, screw it, we're

301
00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:41,880
Speaker 1: gonna win the rest of our games. And then they

302
00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:45,400
Speaker 1: got help because the Vikings gagged and Nick fools. I mean,

303
00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:51,240
Speaker 1: I've my evaluation of him has constantly like evolving under fed.

304
00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:52,800
Speaker 1: I think you guys need to just go into the

305
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:55,480
Speaker 1: ring together, off. I mean, I think he's one of

306
00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:58,840
Speaker 1: the most admirable professional athletes we have today. This is

307
00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:00,800
Speaker 1: a new take, and I like know, I just I've

308
00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:05,120
Speaker 1: all I thought that video last year, but that's separate

309
00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:07,080
Speaker 1: from the evaluation of what he is as a player.

310
00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:11,360
Speaker 1: And Dan, you said the other day this it's December,

311
00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:13,440
Speaker 1: it's January. It's a different Nick Fooles, And I said,

312
00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:16,000
Speaker 1: I just don't believe that. But I have to adjust

313
00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:19,680
Speaker 1: my evaluation because when you talk about clutch, like people

314
00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:22,320
Speaker 1: have been studying this for a long time baseball specifically,

315
00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:26,720
Speaker 1: is there a clutch gene? And I think what I've

316
00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:30,600
Speaker 1: learned over the years, certain players who are average players

317
00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:33,400
Speaker 1: can become good for stretches of the career. It's just

318
00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:36,200
Speaker 1: not very predictive and it doesn't last year entire career.

319
00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:39,000
Speaker 1: It can be knocked out by one player one performance.

320
00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:41,640
Speaker 1: But he's rolling. And I'm I accept that, and I

321
00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:44,120
Speaker 1: was wrong about That's how I look at my career. Good,

322
00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:47,000
Speaker 1: streaky a little bit, but a lot of down moments.

323
00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:51,080
Speaker 1: How about this west is um Nick Foles the bizarro

324
00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:54,640
Speaker 1: Kirk cousins. I think that's fair, And I think there's

325
00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:59,040
Speaker 1: something mentally psychologically with the two of them, where Fools

326
00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:02,880
Speaker 1: is surgery with confidence. It's like you know when you're

327
00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:06,000
Speaker 1: sixteen and you're taking driver's ed and they're really smart.

328
00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:10,400
Speaker 1: Conscientious kids are terrible drivers. Kids who are bad kids

329
00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:12,720
Speaker 1: are like great drivers. And I think that's sort of

330
00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:16,040
Speaker 1: how like Fools is confident and he doesn't care, and

331
00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:19,000
Speaker 1: Cousins does that intense type a personality where he has

332
00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:21,200
Speaker 1: he has to pass that. If you're listening by the

333
00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:24,960
Speaker 1: West says, if you're a good driver, you're dumb. But

334
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:26,680
Speaker 1: the rest of the team is coming together too. I

335
00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:30,760
Speaker 1: mean Nick Foles through an interception, ghastly interception in the

336
00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:32,680
Speaker 1: red zone against the Rams that let them back in

337
00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:35,200
Speaker 1: that game. But what else has happened the last three weeks?

338
00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:38,160
Speaker 1: The front four for the Eagles had started to play

339
00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:40,280
Speaker 1: like they did a year ago. They've been good all year,

340
00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:43,600
Speaker 1: but they've been great this month. They're in sprawls is back? Uh,

341
00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:45,920
Speaker 1: the secondary settled down a little bit. Maybe it's because

342
00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:48,200
Speaker 1: the opponents haven't been able to take advantage. But if you've,

343
00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:51,120
Speaker 1: like at least according to pff Razal Douglas and of

344
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:53,600
Speaker 1: Anti Matox has kind of settled down that secondary, they

345
00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:55,640
Speaker 1: will overcome that. So it's not just Faulds. I mean

346
00:16:55,680 --> 00:16:57,280
Speaker 1: they held them to eighty nine yards. I know it's

347
00:16:57,320 --> 00:16:59,680
Speaker 1: the Redskins of Johnson Johnson. But that's a full game.

348
00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:02,080
Speaker 1: They held them to eighty nine yards. Try. I will

349
00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:04,520
Speaker 1: say one one thing that did not go Nick Foles

350
00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:06,280
Speaker 1: his way, and let's see how commun is about this.

351
00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:09,399
Speaker 1: I'd assume he'd be pretty calm because he's essentially a

352
00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:11,239
Speaker 1: hero forever in the city, will never need to buy

353
00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:16,000
Speaker 1: a drink. But he came four snaps short of a

354
00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:19,159
Speaker 1: you know, a plain incentive to net a million dollars.

355
00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:21,560
Speaker 1: If I'm the Eagles, I don't care how you get

356
00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:23,600
Speaker 1: this money to him. You you could say, we're essentially

357
00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:26,880
Speaker 1: gonna say we repainted the complex the third floor, put

358
00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:28,639
Speaker 1: it on the in the budget that way, and then

359
00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:33,320
Speaker 1: just send it to Nick. There's like, uh, like um,

360
00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:36,000
Speaker 1: Red is told to go find the tree and the

361
00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:38,679
Speaker 1: rock that has no godly reason to be there, just

362
00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:42,200
Speaker 1: put it onto the well. You got Mark, You got

363
00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:45,879
Speaker 1: an NFL insider downstairs explaining why this might not be

364
00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:48,640
Speaker 1: possible for the Eagles to give him a million dollars. Well,

365
00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:52,600
Speaker 1: it was boiled down to potentially salary cap stuff. Also,

366
00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:55,399
Speaker 1: he that same insider said, when I asked about can

367
00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:58,000
Speaker 1: you just stick it on the tab you know, under

368
00:17:58,040 --> 00:18:02,639
Speaker 1: something totally nefarious and strange. He said, well, that never happens.

369
00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:05,919
Speaker 1: Happened and walked away. What a What a rough moment

370
00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:09,919
Speaker 1: though for the Redskins. That stadium was all green, it

371
00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:13,360
Speaker 1: was all Eagles fans. There was no halftime entertainment, which

372
00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:15,439
Speaker 1: is the first I've ever heard. There was just just

373
00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:17,760
Speaker 1: like an empty field for fifteen minutes, like it's pretty

374
00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:20,000
Speaker 1: dark there and watch. Let me ask you a question.

375
00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:23,160
Speaker 1: I was a little upset to hear, because you want

376
00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:25,960
Speaker 1: a full strength Nick Foles in the playoffs because that's fun.

377
00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:28,960
Speaker 1: The rib injury sounds like it could be problematic. Have

378
00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:30,760
Speaker 1: you heard anything about this? What are they saying. I

379
00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:32,680
Speaker 1: haven't seen any updates since he came out of the game,

380
00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:34,880
Speaker 1: but it seemed like something where this is a game

381
00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:36,320
Speaker 1: where he didn't need to come back in the game.

382
00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:40,120
Speaker 1: He was that's the question. Sure, he said, he wasn't

383
00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:42,240
Speaker 1: sure if he'd be able to play. That they're gonna

384
00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:44,239
Speaker 1: do they They were pretty vague about it, and he's

385
00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:46,040
Speaker 1: gonna get tested. That kind of thing that, I mean,

386
00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:48,840
Speaker 1: what happens to human society If let's say they had

387
00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:51,600
Speaker 1: to put Nate Sudfeld in and he ripped off three

388
00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:53,560
Speaker 1: straight wins and won the Super Bowl, and it's like,

389
00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:56,119
Speaker 1: just blow the NFL up from the inside. Here's the

390
00:18:56,119 --> 00:18:58,200
Speaker 1: thing is he came in and immediately let a touchdown drive.

391
00:18:58,320 --> 00:19:01,760
Speaker 1: He's any wanted one there. That's leading it. Though I

392
00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:03,560
Speaker 1: liked him in the preseason. I thought he made a

393
00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:06,840
Speaker 1: lot of big throws. I liked him in the preseason. Well,

394
00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:09,280
Speaker 1: they gave me. They gave the Eagles an extra day

395
00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:11,479
Speaker 1: for fALS to get healthy. They have the late Sunday

396
00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:15,440
Speaker 1: afternoon slot to play the Bears, and that's a delicious matchup.

397
00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:17,720
Speaker 1: And it's not a rematch. I'm glad there's been a

398
00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:19,760
Speaker 1: you know, the Bears vikings again would have been annoying.

399
00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:21,919
Speaker 1: There's a few too many of these rematches like this

400
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:24,440
Speaker 1: is a fresh, like fun match up Philly at Chica.

401
00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:26,800
Speaker 1: I mean, with with Falls and Sudfeld, there's just no

402
00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:29,120
Speaker 1: need for Carson Wentz at the stage and he's gotta

403
00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:31,320
Speaker 1: I just move him up to the front office and

404
00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:35,760
Speaker 1: have him, you know, helped make copies, send him the

405
00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:39,440
Speaker 1: Pocono's office that Chip Kelly once sent Howie Roseman. I'm

406
00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:42,719
Speaker 1: sure it's vagan. It's amazing how fast things changed, Like

407
00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:46,320
Speaker 1: right the middle of last year, we're saying that there's

408
00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:49,960
Speaker 1: no player more valuable in the NFL from a roster

409
00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:53,320
Speaker 1: building standpoint than Carson Wentz. Well, how about how fast

410
00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:56,400
Speaker 1: things change? Three weeks ago, when the Eagles were going

411
00:19:56,440 --> 00:19:59,880
Speaker 1: to the Rams as thirteen point underdogs, their season was dead.

412
00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:01,760
Speaker 1: We thought they were a totally dead team that has

413
00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:03,720
Speaker 1: nothing to play for it and they hadn't played one

414
00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:06,199
Speaker 1: really good game all year. And now here there let

415
00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:08,359
Speaker 1: us move home an they're throwing down the field of

416
00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:11,200
Speaker 1: rusting the rock card. That's tough part of Marcus Robinson

417
00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:15,080
Speaker 1: and he's wide open near side. Twenty fifteen backpeddaling into

418
00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:20,640
Speaker 1: the end zone. Touchdown Chansas City and eighty nine yard

419
00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:25,159
Speaker 1: pass and Patrick Mahomes sow has hit five thousand yards

420
00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:30,959
Speaker 1: passing in fifty touchdowns in a single season, the golden

421
00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:33,800
Speaker 1: pipes of Mitch Holtus of the Chief's radio network, Katrick

422
00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:37,200
Speaker 1: Mahomes eighty nine yards score with the Marcus Robinson put

423
00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:41,840
Speaker 1: the second year passer in the hyper exclusive club as

424
00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:44,040
Speaker 1: the Chief's cruise to a thirty five three win over

425
00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:47,880
Speaker 1: the wretched Raiders. Chiefs finished the season at twelve and four.

426
00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:50,119
Speaker 1: They are the a F C West champions. They have

427
00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:53,480
Speaker 1: the number one seed in the a f C playoffs.

428
00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:55,760
Speaker 1: Shook the Chiefs took care of business, and Mahomes likely

429
00:20:55,800 --> 00:20:58,199
Speaker 1: locked up m v P. It was one of the

430
00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:01,080
Speaker 1: greatest regular seasons we've ever seen. A position broke five

431
00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:04,239
Speaker 1: thousand yards fifty touchdowns. Hard to argue with that. But

432
00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:07,199
Speaker 1: in this particular game, the real thing I want to

433
00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:10,119
Speaker 1: bring away from it is the Chiefs. Despite all the

434
00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:14,160
Speaker 1: rumors and concern about how they might not have a defense,

435
00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:16,520
Speaker 1: those guys are still on the field and they played

436
00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:18,920
Speaker 1: pretty well this week. And and Daniel Sarson had a

437
00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:21,520
Speaker 1: nice pick six. Reggie Raglan was a few yards away

438
00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:23,879
Speaker 1: from having another one himself, so don't yeah. So the

439
00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:27,280
Speaker 1: idea that people say the Achilles Heal of this team

440
00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:29,880
Speaker 1: is their defense. You see some talent there. Well, maybe

441
00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:32,160
Speaker 1: not so much on the back end. Um Eric Barry

442
00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:34,560
Speaker 1: was inactive today, so not a good barometer. But they

443
00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:36,159
Speaker 1: are good at getting to the passer. I mean, if

444
00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:37,639
Speaker 1: you go back and watch them there Tabe obviously it's

445
00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:39,639
Speaker 1: Chris Jones is leading the way, but they're going to

446
00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:41,320
Speaker 1: get into the passer, and in the playoffs that can

447
00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:42,960
Speaker 1: sometimes serve as a difference. So you want to add

448
00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:45,639
Speaker 1: Chris Jones to your Bowl snubb Suddenly there's a lot

449
00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:47,719
Speaker 1: of snubs. We need to just expand the rob show. Well,

450
00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:50,399
Speaker 1: that was a tough five defensive player. Chris Jones has

451
00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:52,639
Speaker 1: been awesome and Justin Houston's played well. D four has

452
00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:54,320
Speaker 1: been a little quietlyly. They made a big change of

453
00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:57,720
Speaker 1: cornerback last week, chart Various Ward, who's an undrafted rookie.

454
00:21:57,760 --> 00:22:00,080
Speaker 1: He started play the whole game again. Pf that he

455
00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:02,199
Speaker 1: had a monster game. For what it's worth, so a

456
00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:04,520
Speaker 1: very productive day for them. I know it's like people

457
00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:07,320
Speaker 1: just expect, you know, they don't get any lollipops for

458
00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:10,640
Speaker 1: but if if the opposite happened, we would be criticizing them.

459
00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:12,440
Speaker 1: And it's huge for them to get a week off.

460
00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:14,640
Speaker 1: They will have more pressure on them than any other

461
00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:16,959
Speaker 1: team though, for what it's worth, every team's got pressure,

462
00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:20,080
Speaker 1: but losing six straight at Arrowhead in the playoffs, that

463
00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:22,240
Speaker 1: crowd is gonna be a little tight. And and really,

464
00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:24,520
Speaker 1: I mean not that you see that necessarily play out

465
00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:26,880
Speaker 1: on the field a coach. In terms of a legacy,

466
00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:29,600
Speaker 1: this is a lot of ways has been set up

467
00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:32,399
Speaker 1: as Andy Reid's year and and you can kind of

468
00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:35,720
Speaker 1: picture him on a riser at media night. Come comes

469
00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:39,040
Speaker 1: super Bowl Week and everybody's rooting for him because he's

470
00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:41,399
Speaker 1: such a good guy and he's he's the Godfather, but

471
00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:44,440
Speaker 1: he cannot go. And they were they're fortunate. You lose

472
00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:47,240
Speaker 1: four games, you usually don't get the one seed. That's

473
00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:49,840
Speaker 1: pretty rare. And so they survived this slump and still

474
00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:52,080
Speaker 1: got the home field. And why not cap this season

475
00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:56,400
Speaker 1: with one of the most impressive coaching efforts burying one

476
00:22:56,440 --> 00:23:01,240
Speaker 1: of the most depressing, uninspiring under leman coaching efforts we've

477
00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:03,640
Speaker 1: seen in our time together at the NFL by John

478
00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:06,440
Speaker 1: Gruden and the Raiders horrible. See. I think they came

479
00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:08,920
Speaker 1: on stronger late in the season, considering the roster that

480
00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:11,480
Speaker 1: they had. I that's they played a little bit better

481
00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:14,439
Speaker 1: over the last month. But I'll tell you this is

482
00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:18,240
Speaker 1: this has to be as far afield from what all

483
00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:21,760
Speaker 1: the hype train people riding that little ridiculous train off

484
00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:23,440
Speaker 1: a cliff thought where they were going to get. When

485
00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:26,200
Speaker 1: John Gruden had six hundred people at his introductory press

486
00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:28,960
Speaker 1: conference acting like this was someone coming down from the

487
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:32,240
Speaker 1: skies like an angel to save the Oakland Raiders and

488
00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:34,960
Speaker 1: the opposite. There's something to it because it was almost

489
00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:38,159
Speaker 1: like those trades of mac and and Cooper was almost

490
00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:40,960
Speaker 1: a defense mechanism against the fact like that, hey, we

491
00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:43,000
Speaker 1: can't coach and we can't we don't have confidence and

492
00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:46,919
Speaker 1: in games, I don't know. They did come down from somewhere. Um,

493
00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:49,919
Speaker 1: I'm gonna wait out the rebuild a little bit, but

494
00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:53,960
Speaker 1: I understand in there we're gonna be fine. So Mike

495
00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:57,080
Speaker 1: Mayock was was put up as a potential GM candidate,

496
00:23:57,119 --> 00:23:59,600
Speaker 1: and he has already told them, you know, I wouldn't

497
00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:02,760
Speaker 1: want that up. No, he said, he get an interview here. Yeah,

498
00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:06,320
Speaker 1: if any of this strong candidate, I don't want to

499
00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:07,800
Speaker 1: be that guy. By the way, with the whole we're

500
00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:09,800
Speaker 1: pulling for you Andy, because I like Andy Reid. But

501
00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:13,080
Speaker 1: something about this Chiefs team, if I had to stack

502
00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:15,560
Speaker 1: chips somewhere, it wouldn't behind them, are you they They've

503
00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:18,000
Speaker 1: got a little Kirk Cousins in him. I think they do. Ouch.

504
00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:21,240
Speaker 1: Let us move on. This is gonna be a twenty

505
00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:23,640
Speaker 1: six yards field goal. Hash Mark White sided to fake

506
00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:27,080
Speaker 1: the throw rater, He's crossed to the edge. Soode it's

507
00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:33,640
Speaker 1: talked for a touchdown shaking this game, shut it off,

508
00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:39,679
Speaker 1: random game. Hey, listen, I have some issues with Matt Prader.

509
00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:41,800
Speaker 1: I didn't like his behavior at a Super Bowl media

510
00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:45,280
Speaker 1: day years and years ago, and I hold grudges. I'll

511
00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:46,880
Speaker 1: get Yeah, well he had an earring, but that wasn't

512
00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:48,680
Speaker 1: the reason. But it did get on my radar. But

513
00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:51,000
Speaker 1: I will give him this. He owns the NFL record

514
00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:54,040
Speaker 1: for field goal distance O kick. I think he has

515
00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:56,480
Speaker 1: a sixty five yard six or four yards something like that.

516
00:24:56,680 --> 00:24:59,920
Speaker 1: And he threw a beautiful touchdown pass against the Packers.

517
00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:04,600
Speaker 1: Thirty one nothing win at lambeau Field, nothing burger game

518
00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:08,920
Speaker 1: for Green Bay Trail zip in the second quarter, lost

519
00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:11,720
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers before halftime to a concussion. Shook a nice

520
00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:13,280
Speaker 1: way to go into the off season for the lines

521
00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:16,119
Speaker 1: on another ugly day for the Packers. Yeah, the intrigue

522
00:25:16,119 --> 00:25:17,800
Speaker 1: in this game was lost as soon as Aaron Rodgers

523
00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:20,439
Speaker 1: left the game. But for those Packers fans who wan

524
00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:22,680
Speaker 1: don't know what they have behind him, well they learned

525
00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:25,000
Speaker 1: they don't have much in the form of Deshaun Kaiser,

526
00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:28,879
Speaker 1: who was pretty predictable in his performance. But yeah, for

527
00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:30,800
Speaker 1: the Lions, it was a great game. Uh, you know,

528
00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:33,240
Speaker 1: it's not often you get a kicker throwing a touchdown

529
00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:35,960
Speaker 1: pass to a former Atlanta Falcons tight end, and uh

530
00:25:36,320 --> 00:25:37,840
Speaker 1: it was. It was an enjoyable day and a good

531
00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:39,880
Speaker 1: way to go to the off season for a tumultuous

532
00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:43,600
Speaker 1: season that has been met Patricia's first. That's trainer man meme.

533
00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:48,399
Speaker 1: It's just Deshaun Kaiser pointing at Brett Huntley. Yes, I know,

534
00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:52,040
Speaker 1: and I know this game really doesn't mean anything um

535
00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:55,920
Speaker 1: for either team because Matt Patricia is likely safe and

536
00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:58,639
Speaker 1: and the Lions weren't going anywhere and the Packers are

537
00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:02,879
Speaker 1: obviously eliminated. But Joey Fibbs, if he had any intentions

538
00:26:02,920 --> 00:26:05,440
Speaker 1: of holding onto the job, this was not the way

539
00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:07,639
Speaker 1: you want to go into the interview process. For what

540
00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:09,840
Speaker 1: it's worth, it took me a moment to realize who

541
00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:11,560
Speaker 1: you're talking about when you said, Joey Fibbs, I'm just

542
00:26:11,600 --> 00:26:14,920
Speaker 1: waiting for Mark. Was there even a chance and getting

543
00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:18,560
Speaker 1: this job? Exactly, I'm still waiting for Mark to do.

544
00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:23,000
Speaker 1: As I told you so about Zack Centers twenty one.

545
00:26:23,080 --> 00:26:26,960
Speaker 1: I'm just struggling, struggling, my I told you so over

546
00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:28,960
Speaker 1: Zack Center, I told you so over the Green Bay

547
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:32,200
Speaker 1: Packers as an organization season, what are you struggling with?

548
00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:34,760
Speaker 1: Which one was more which one I was more dead

549
00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:36,639
Speaker 1: on about. I'll have to sit and think about that

550
00:26:36,680 --> 00:26:38,520
Speaker 1: for a little bit. I knew when I looked down

551
00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:40,480
Speaker 1: the list of games today that this would be the

552
00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:42,359
Speaker 1: one where you guys would say, this is the random

553
00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:44,919
Speaker 1: game of the week. Yeah, and Nick, I uh, And

554
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:46,800
Speaker 1: that's it for that game. We're not gonna talk about anymore.

555
00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:50,280
Speaker 1: But you have provided an invaluable service to us this

556
00:26:50,359 --> 00:26:52,639
Speaker 1: last month, helping us out with all these extra games,

557
00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:56,280
Speaker 1: and for that we are indebted to you. Thank you.

558
00:26:56,560 --> 00:26:59,680
Speaker 1: I appreciate it. And you're replacing Greg as of YEA.

559
00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:02,040
Speaker 1: For a moment, Nick's eyes lit up like, oh, did

560
00:27:02,040 --> 00:27:06,080
Speaker 1: they get it? Get me something? Not? He read my mind.

561
00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:09,679
Speaker 1: It's behind words. That's what we can offer you. And

562
00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:11,679
Speaker 1: you know what a little encouragement as he hit the

563
00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:14,520
Speaker 1: gym to get a pump in, because late night pump

564
00:27:14,600 --> 00:27:17,000
Speaker 1: is the best type of pump. It's the only pump there.

565
00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:19,439
Speaker 1: You go, Nick Shook, Thank you, buddy. We'll be in

566
00:27:19,520 --> 00:27:21,680
Speaker 1: touch in the off season. Not the last you're gonna

567
00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:24,040
Speaker 1: hear from Nick Shook on the around the NFL podcast

568
00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:27,320
Speaker 1: One of our great utility meant, I think he's getting bigger.

569
00:27:27,359 --> 00:27:29,960
Speaker 1: Look at that body. It's absurd. It's almost getting to

570
00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:31,520
Speaker 1: the point where you want him to take a little

571
00:27:31,520 --> 00:27:36,439
Speaker 1: of the muscle mass away because it's distracting. Let's move on.

572
00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:53,080
Speaker 1: Let's seriously, he flies the past the steel Bill hill

573
00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:55,760
Speaker 1: Grove with the Call Steelers Radio Network. The Steelers got

574
00:27:55,760 --> 00:27:58,560
Speaker 1: to stop. They needed on d keeping their playoff hopes alive,

575
00:27:58,760 --> 00:28:03,199
Speaker 1: albeit only temporary league with a win over the Bengals

576
00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:06,920
Speaker 1: at hines Field. Pittsburgh struggled on offense with Antonio Brown inactive,

577
00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:11,199
Speaker 1: but did just enough, finishing their season at nine six

578
00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:13,680
Speaker 1: and one. Greg The Steelers were flat in a huge game.

579
00:28:13,720 --> 00:28:16,640
Speaker 1: It was a fitting end to a weird season. That's

580
00:28:16,720 --> 00:28:19,720
Speaker 1: really well said, because you get James Conner back and

581
00:28:19,760 --> 00:28:22,520
Speaker 1: you figure you're just gonna roll in this game, and

582
00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:25,160
Speaker 1: the defense held the Bengals to nine first downs. I mean,

583
00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:27,440
Speaker 1: the Bengals could not move the ball, but it's a

584
00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:30,240
Speaker 1: reminder how valuable Antonio Brown is. Not that that's the

585
00:28:30,280 --> 00:28:32,640
Speaker 1: only thing going on, but they just the Bengals countered

586
00:28:32,680 --> 00:28:34,880
Speaker 1: that by playing man to man defense the whole game.

587
00:28:35,119 --> 00:28:39,160
Speaker 1: Juju couldn't get open and you know Ben Rothsburg had

588
00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:40,800
Speaker 1: to make some plays actually at the end just to

589
00:28:40,840 --> 00:28:43,840
Speaker 1: get this win. That's scene on on the field at

590
00:28:43,920 --> 00:28:47,280
Speaker 1: Hines Fielder after the game with everyone laying on the

591
00:28:47,320 --> 00:28:49,720
Speaker 1: grass watching the game. It was like that was the

592
00:28:49,720 --> 00:28:52,760
Speaker 1: worst picnic since Hanging Rock. I don't know, I don't

593
00:28:52,800 --> 00:28:55,240
Speaker 1: get the ref. I love it, but there are older

594
00:28:55,280 --> 00:28:58,560
Speaker 1: people that definitely loved I feel like I would say

595
00:28:58,560 --> 00:29:02,320
Speaker 1: people who appreciate film that wasn't you know, created between

596
00:29:03,320 --> 00:29:05,959
Speaker 1: five and this year in America, would would appreciate it.

597
00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:09,680
Speaker 1: So like three of our already Hanging Rock that yeah,

598
00:29:10,280 --> 00:29:14,040
Speaker 1: hanging around it's Australian famous, like is it a horror

599
00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:18,160
Speaker 1: film or sort of like a mystery horror like Ambigus.

600
00:29:18,320 --> 00:29:21,240
Speaker 1: That strangeness, well, they wouldn't be They wouldn't have that

601
00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:23,760
Speaker 1: horrific picnic had they taken care of the Broncos and

602
00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:26,600
Speaker 1: Raiders and found a way to not turn the ball

603
00:29:26,640 --> 00:29:29,320
Speaker 1: over five times. And ty A Brown's team led by

604
00:29:29,320 --> 00:29:31,480
Speaker 1: Tyrod Taylor and the opener and this is this is

605
00:29:31,520 --> 00:29:34,000
Speaker 1: every Steelers team ever and we say it every year.

606
00:29:34,040 --> 00:29:36,840
Speaker 1: They and they're gonna keep Mike Tomlin and there He's

607
00:29:36,880 --> 00:29:39,520
Speaker 1: lucky that that's a very patient ownership group and they

608
00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:41,200
Speaker 1: should keep him. I think it's a good coach. But

609
00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:43,480
Speaker 1: this is the time they missed the playoffs in five years,

610
00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:45,800
Speaker 1: I think. But this is quintessential Mike Tomlin down the

611
00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:47,760
Speaker 1: stretch with the Steelers. You have to look at these

612
00:29:47,840 --> 00:29:51,520
Speaker 1: horrific losses that close your opportunities, and you're sitting there

613
00:29:51,520 --> 00:29:53,640
Speaker 1: waiting for a Browns team on the road to knock

614
00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:56,120
Speaker 1: off a Ravens defense. Please, and I can't disagree with that,

615
00:29:56,160 --> 00:29:57,760
Speaker 1: you said, Mark at the top of the show. At

616
00:29:57,800 --> 00:29:59,480
Speaker 1: the end of the day, the Ravens were the better

617
00:29:59,480 --> 00:30:02,160
Speaker 1: team and the division, and the better team won the division,

618
00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:04,360
Speaker 1: and the better team will be playing next week. Let's

619
00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:07,360
Speaker 1: move on. Brady takes this down. He's gonna lave it

620
00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:14,680
Speaker 1: to the end. Joel park the money touchdown, Patriots, Tom

621
00:30:14,760 --> 00:30:17,040
Speaker 1: Brady's best throw the month of December, right there to

622
00:30:17,080 --> 00:30:21,240
Speaker 1: Rex Parkhead. That's the first time they from Rex to

623
00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:25,280
Speaker 1: the scene since New Orleans Week too last year. Wow,

624
00:30:25,600 --> 00:30:30,680
Speaker 1: quit flexing, we get I watched the Patriots. He knew

625
00:30:30,680 --> 00:30:33,760
Speaker 1: it already. Literally, your job, Bob Sochi and Scott Zolak

626
00:30:33,840 --> 00:30:36,520
Speaker 1: and the Patriots Radio Craig throws up his pants with

627
00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:40,360
Speaker 1: the call. Tom Brady three for three first half touchdowns

628
00:30:40,360 --> 00:30:43,480
Speaker 1: four overall, the Patriots feed up on the Jets thirty

629
00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:47,200
Speaker 1: eight to three. That clinches the ninth straight first round

630
00:30:47,280 --> 00:30:51,200
Speaker 1: by for New England. Uh. They finish eleven and five. Listen,

631
00:30:51,240 --> 00:30:53,200
Speaker 1: they didn't have a top two record in the conference,

632
00:30:53,240 --> 00:30:55,080
Speaker 1: but it shook out well for the Pats, as it

633
00:30:55,120 --> 00:30:59,600
Speaker 1: always does. Eleven and five gets him that vibe congratulations

634
00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:03,280
Speaker 1: Greg on your good fortune. Hey wes Uh, Brady picked

635
00:31:03,280 --> 00:31:06,320
Speaker 1: aparted depleted Jets secondary in New England. They'll they shouted

636
00:31:06,320 --> 00:31:08,400
Speaker 1: after the playoffs, feeling good about themselves in a nice

637
00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:10,840
Speaker 1: way to get in to their bye week. Absolutely, I

638
00:31:10,840 --> 00:31:12,800
Speaker 1: don't know how much of a test this was, that

639
00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:15,480
Speaker 1: clip we heard, but the past to rex Burkhead was

640
00:31:15,520 --> 00:31:17,960
Speaker 1: sort of a microcosm of the day. Sure, it was

641
00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:20,680
Speaker 1: a really pretty pass by Tom Brady. It was also

642
00:31:20,840 --> 00:31:24,600
Speaker 1: busted coverage with the linebacker and cornerback. A lot of

643
00:31:24,680 --> 00:31:27,960
Speaker 1: that confused that who should be covering rex burg Head

644
00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:30,960
Speaker 1: off the snap, so there was a lot of that um.

645
00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:33,959
Speaker 1: This game was over at halftime and the Jets were

646
00:31:33,960 --> 00:31:36,400
Speaker 1: so shorthanded, especially in the secondary, that I just don't

647
00:31:36,440 --> 00:31:38,120
Speaker 1: know how much of a test it was for the Patriots.

648
00:31:38,360 --> 00:31:40,320
Speaker 1: Truemay and Johnson, one of the highest paid players in

649
00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:45,080
Speaker 1: Jets history, Uh, not only was late for a practice, um,

650
00:31:45,160 --> 00:31:47,520
Speaker 1: he also missed a team meeting during the week, So

651
00:31:47,680 --> 00:31:50,640
Speaker 1: he started his offseason a week early and Todd Bowl

652
00:31:50,680 --> 00:31:52,400
Speaker 1: sat him because of it. So by the end of

653
00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:54,200
Speaker 1: the by the second quarter of that game, it was

654
00:31:54,240 --> 00:31:56,640
Speaker 1: Jamal Adams and a bunch of retreads and no names

655
00:31:56,640 --> 00:31:59,200
Speaker 1: in that secondary, and Brady did what Brady does. But

656
00:31:59,280 --> 00:32:02,040
Speaker 1: I will say this, Um, there's been a lot of

657
00:32:02,040 --> 00:32:04,360
Speaker 1: talk about the decline of Tom Brady, and certainly he's

658
00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:06,280
Speaker 1: probably not the same guy who was even last year.

659
00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:10,320
Speaker 1: But Tom Brady, I'm watching him the guy especially you know,

660
00:32:10,520 --> 00:32:12,600
Speaker 1: when you don't have a pass rush going after him,

661
00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:15,960
Speaker 1: and it could be very different. But if you could

662
00:32:15,960 --> 00:32:19,000
Speaker 1: protect Brady and the and the Patriots have already won

663
00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:21,160
Speaker 1: a playoff game they got to buy if you could

664
00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:23,000
Speaker 1: protect him, figure out a way to scheme it up.

665
00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:26,080
Speaker 1: And Bill Belichick's the best there ever was. The Patriots

666
00:32:26,120 --> 00:32:29,080
Speaker 1: are not by any stretch dead. Know that they would

667
00:32:29,080 --> 00:32:30,680
Speaker 1: love to say they are, but they are not dead.

668
00:32:30,720 --> 00:32:33,640
Speaker 1: And Brady is the reason why this team it was

669
00:32:33,680 --> 00:32:35,600
Speaker 1: so crucial for them to get to buy number one.

670
00:32:35,600 --> 00:32:37,720
Speaker 1: They're undefeated at home. I mean, they're the only team

671
00:32:37,720 --> 00:32:39,680
Speaker 1: in the NFL's it's undefeated at home. What a good

672
00:32:39,680 --> 00:32:41,640
Speaker 1: teams do? I know, it's against the Bills and the Jets.

673
00:32:41,800 --> 00:32:45,040
Speaker 1: They beat up on bad teams and they win convincingly.

674
00:32:45,080 --> 00:32:47,080
Speaker 1: And that's what the Patriots did the last two weeks.

675
00:32:47,080 --> 00:32:49,720
Speaker 1: It wasn't the same close to the season you would

676
00:32:49,720 --> 00:32:53,240
Speaker 1: have expected. But really, other than the Steelers game, which

677
00:32:53,320 --> 00:32:56,400
Speaker 1: they certainly were in, I didn't see too many alarming

678
00:32:56,440 --> 00:33:00,120
Speaker 1: things down the stretch. They're not the same offense in

679
00:33:00,280 --> 00:33:03,120
Speaker 1: terms of their explosiveness, but they have things to feel

680
00:33:03,160 --> 00:33:05,040
Speaker 1: good about going into this game. I think they have

681
00:33:05,080 --> 00:33:07,080
Speaker 1: a little bit of an identity with devil and and

682
00:33:07,160 --> 00:33:09,240
Speaker 1: Duyne Allen on the field most of the time. That's

683
00:33:09,240 --> 00:33:10,960
Speaker 1: just who they are. They're gonna try to run the ball,

684
00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:12,840
Speaker 1: They're gonna try to keep the score a little bit

685
00:33:12,880 --> 00:33:16,200
Speaker 1: lower and hope that their situational football is smarter than yours.

686
00:33:16,400 --> 00:33:19,360
Speaker 1: Todd Bowles fired by the Jets after the game. We

687
00:33:19,400 --> 00:33:21,120
Speaker 1: had known this for weeks and weeks that this was

688
00:33:21,120 --> 00:33:24,160
Speaker 1: gonna happen. Um he ends up losing forty games and

689
00:33:24,200 --> 00:33:26,760
Speaker 1: four seasons. It's very rare that a coach sticks around

690
00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:29,960
Speaker 1: this long and gets fired, but it looks like Mike

691
00:33:30,040 --> 00:33:33,920
Speaker 1: mccagnan will survive. We're gonna get more into the firings

692
00:33:33,920 --> 00:33:36,680
Speaker 1: and who stays and who goes Tomorrow will have a

693
00:33:36,960 --> 00:33:40,520
Speaker 1: very special around the NFL Podcast, Black Monday edition, But

694
00:33:40,640 --> 00:33:44,760
Speaker 1: Todd bowls out for the Jets and the Patriots have

695
00:33:44,840 --> 00:33:48,720
Speaker 1: another by Greg and then in they you know, first

696
00:33:48,720 --> 00:33:51,200
Speaker 1: thirty one offensive plays Jets ran nineteen were for no

697
00:33:51,320 --> 00:33:53,880
Speaker 1: gain or negative. Not especially Sam Darnold came into this

698
00:33:53,920 --> 00:33:55,720
Speaker 1: game scaring us all in this room, saying, we thought

699
00:33:55,720 --> 00:33:57,800
Speaker 1: it would be a close game. The defense closed pretty strong.

700
00:33:57,920 --> 00:34:00,680
Speaker 1: Not national episode for these people that have been shotguns

701
00:34:00,680 --> 00:34:02,120
Speaker 1: out of their jobs. Then I'm not sure that their

702
00:34:02,120 --> 00:34:04,160
Speaker 1: families are gonna gather around the hearth to listen to

703
00:34:04,200 --> 00:34:07,920
Speaker 1: that that particular star. I mean, special isn't always good,

704
00:34:08,160 --> 00:34:10,640
Speaker 1: but it's just it's different. It's kind of something you

705
00:34:10,680 --> 00:34:13,320
Speaker 1: feel for Todd balls. He seems like, you know, Jamal

706
00:34:13,440 --> 00:34:16,480
Speaker 1: Adams was emotional after the games, saying he's the best

707
00:34:16,480 --> 00:34:19,520
Speaker 1: coach he ever played for. And you know, I think

708
00:34:19,520 --> 00:34:22,440
Speaker 1: he connects with his defensive players and everything. Just yeah,

709
00:34:22,520 --> 00:34:24,600
Speaker 1: you hear it, You heard it timetime again. Bowls is

710
00:34:24,640 --> 00:34:27,160
Speaker 1: well respected and he'll land on his feet, maybe not

711
00:34:27,239 --> 00:34:30,439
Speaker 1: as a head coach, but somewhere despite the Jets having

712
00:34:30,480 --> 00:34:34,919
Speaker 1: a terrible defense many years under his helm. So that's fair.

713
00:34:35,120 --> 00:34:37,160
Speaker 1: I mean, cannot run the rush the pass for the

714
00:34:37,200 --> 00:34:38,879
Speaker 1: eight year in a row. It feels all right. They

715
00:34:38,880 --> 00:34:42,120
Speaker 1: gave up four hundred points uh twice in balls is

716
00:34:42,120 --> 00:34:44,239
Speaker 1: four years and that is Jets only did in their

717
00:34:44,280 --> 00:34:46,840
Speaker 1: history four times. So they have a lot to fix

718
00:34:46,920 --> 00:34:48,800
Speaker 1: and Todd Balls won't be around to do it. H

719
00:34:48,960 --> 00:34:52,080
Speaker 1: let's listen, or let's hear from a sponsor one of

725
00:35:10,840 --> 00:35:15,520
Speaker 1: lithium battery that's part of Craftsman's interchangeable battery system, so

729
00:35:23,800 --> 00:35:28,120
Speaker 1: in an extended battery life. I love those brushless motors.

Speaker 1: They deliver high efficiency and greater durability. Pair them with

733
00:35:38,239 --> 00:35:40,640
Speaker 1: got blisters on him. But he's a man that works.

734
00:35:41,040 --> 00:35:43,680
Speaker 1: He works hard. But the family out of town. What

735
00:35:43,719 --> 00:35:45,399
Speaker 1: do you think I'm doing the whole time? Just they're

736
00:35:45,400 --> 00:35:47,520
Speaker 1: gonna come home. It's a whole new house. I built

737
00:35:47,520 --> 00:35:51,000
Speaker 1: another one. Those hands are calloused. With you alone in

740
00:36:00,120 --> 00:36:02,279
Speaker 1: Lows is the new home of crafts I don't want

741
00:36:02,280 --> 00:36:05,600
Speaker 1: to know why DaShan takes the snap DeShawn, watch don't

742
00:36:05,640 --> 00:36:08,400
Speaker 1: run it. He runs in five yard t d to

743
00:36:08,560 --> 00:36:12,600
Speaker 1: take the lead and watch it doesn't leave. They of

744
00:36:12,680 --> 00:36:17,200
Speaker 1: the south end zone stands Triston in front of Jacksonville

745
00:36:17,280 --> 00:36:20,640
Speaker 1: to open a second quarter. Mark vanderber not too excited

746
00:36:20,640 --> 00:36:23,240
Speaker 1: about the game. Listen, just sometimes you take care business.

747
00:36:24,080 --> 00:36:27,800
Speaker 1: Texas radio, and that's what Houston did. Uh D Watson

748
00:36:27,880 --> 00:36:30,200
Speaker 1: threw for two d thirty four yards ran for a score.

749
00:36:30,239 --> 00:36:33,880
Speaker 1: De Andandre Hopkins had a forty seven, receiving a twenty

750
00:36:33,920 --> 00:36:37,359
Speaker 1: three win for Houston over the Woffle Jaguars. The wind

751
00:36:37,360 --> 00:36:41,279
Speaker 1: clinches the FC North for the Texans, who really, you know,

752
00:36:41,280 --> 00:36:43,800
Speaker 1: they withstood a charge there from the Colts who kept winning,

753
00:36:43,800 --> 00:36:46,520
Speaker 1: but the Houston Texans but rarely let up. They go

754
00:36:46,600 --> 00:36:49,359
Speaker 1: from four and twelve to eleven and five. They got

755
00:36:49,400 --> 00:36:51,719
Speaker 1: the a CS third seed. Mark Houston misses out on

756
00:36:51,760 --> 00:36:53,319
Speaker 1: the bike, but they go into the playoffs or the wind.

757
00:36:54,560 --> 00:36:59,080
Speaker 1: Four seconds into the second quarter, Deshaun Watson took it

758
00:36:59,120 --> 00:37:01,799
Speaker 1: five yards into the end zone for the ten three lead.

759
00:37:02,400 --> 00:37:05,520
Speaker 1: Game over because what we were looking at was from

760
00:37:05,520 --> 00:37:09,279
Speaker 1: the Jacksonville Jaguars one of the most terrific performances I've

761
00:37:09,320 --> 00:37:13,680
Speaker 1: watched on offense in decades, and it's it essentially, it

762
00:37:13,800 --> 00:37:17,000
Speaker 1: reached its peak today and the off season cannot come

763
00:37:17,080 --> 00:37:20,360
Speaker 1: soon enough for this broken down team that had Leonard

764
00:37:20,360 --> 00:37:24,040
Speaker 1: Fournette on the sideline puting all the all game long,

765
00:37:24,120 --> 00:37:26,799
Speaker 1: to the point where he got a you know, a

766
00:37:26,840 --> 00:37:30,040
Speaker 1: teacher's note essentially from Tom Coughlin along with t J

767
00:37:30,200 --> 00:37:33,040
Speaker 1: yelled in for sitting by themselves, you know, away from

768
00:37:33,080 --> 00:37:34,799
Speaker 1: the rest of the team, couldn't wait for the off

769
00:37:34,840 --> 00:37:36,880
Speaker 1: season to get there fast enough. And he said it

770
00:37:36,920 --> 00:37:39,839
Speaker 1: was unbecoming of a professional We gotta have the miss

771
00:37:39,880 --> 00:37:43,800
Speaker 1: of music for this go ahead, America. I am disappointed

772
00:37:43,840 --> 00:37:46,920
Speaker 1: in the behavior today from t J. Yelled In and

773
00:37:47,040 --> 00:37:51,840
Speaker 1: Leonard Fournette. They were disrespectful, selfish, and their behavior was

774
00:37:51,960 --> 00:37:56,680
Speaker 1: unbecoming that of a professional football player. Angry grand I mean,

775
00:37:56,680 --> 00:37:58,640
Speaker 1: that wasn't like a quote after the game, that was

776
00:37:58,680 --> 00:38:02,680
Speaker 1: a statements state least on team stationary. That's it. We've reached, Pete,

777
00:38:02,760 --> 00:38:06,240
Speaker 1: Tom Coughlin, you're not getting any I mean, Leonard Fournette,

778
00:38:06,239 --> 00:38:10,160
Speaker 1: remember a number three overall pick? Was he for the

779
00:38:10,200 --> 00:38:12,759
Speaker 1: man that runs the football operations to bury you with

780
00:38:12,840 --> 00:38:16,080
Speaker 1: the state? That was Steinbrenner esque was active for the game.

781
00:38:16,160 --> 00:38:20,040
Speaker 1: So behavior, I gotta see what was going on. It

782
00:38:20,080 --> 00:38:22,040
Speaker 1: tell us like when when you're a kid in high

783
00:38:22,080 --> 00:38:24,200
Speaker 1: school or in little league, there's always the guys at

784
00:38:24,200 --> 00:38:26,120
Speaker 1: the end of the bench that have no interest in

785
00:38:26,200 --> 00:38:28,560
Speaker 1: the guts where they're just there and they're just talking

786
00:38:28,560 --> 00:38:30,759
Speaker 1: and messing around the whole time. Is that what was

787
00:38:30,800 --> 00:38:32,439
Speaker 1: going on? Well, I think I don't think. I think

788
00:38:32,440 --> 00:38:36,480
Speaker 1: the statement potentially could have been generated from the broadcast

789
00:38:36,520 --> 00:38:39,640
Speaker 1: that cut to four Nette. I didn't notice, just sort

790
00:38:39,680 --> 00:38:42,520
Speaker 1: of sitting on the bench kind of like like when

791
00:38:42,600 --> 00:38:44,320
Speaker 1: is the bus leaving? You know, like I got to

792
00:38:44,360 --> 00:38:46,400
Speaker 1: get home. I was, you know, I have a delivery

793
00:38:46,440 --> 00:38:48,320
Speaker 1: coming in my house for like a Lake Creme writers

794
00:38:48,440 --> 00:38:50,200
Speaker 1: or we're noticing it too that they were off by

795
00:38:50,239 --> 00:38:52,719
Speaker 1: themselves even when the offense was on the field, they

796
00:38:52,719 --> 00:38:55,960
Speaker 1: weren't really paying attention. Yelden was still on the bench

797
00:38:56,160 --> 00:38:57,759
Speaker 1: while the offense was on the field, and he was

798
00:38:57,760 --> 00:38:59,880
Speaker 1: in the he was active for the game. Well, I was,

799
00:39:00,160 --> 00:39:02,279
Speaker 1: where's the teacher's note for Tom Coughlin that traded a

800
00:39:02,320 --> 00:39:07,840
Speaker 1: fifth round pick for Carlos Hiding came in nothing today?

801
00:39:07,880 --> 00:39:11,000
Speaker 1: He did nothing. They have no ground game whatever I mean.

802
00:39:11,160 --> 00:39:14,200
Speaker 1: You came after the Browns are training Carlos. I initially

803
00:39:14,280 --> 00:39:16,080
Speaker 1: I thought he actually he had some good games with

804
00:39:16,120 --> 00:39:17,719
Speaker 1: the Browns. He does not look that way with the

805
00:39:17,800 --> 00:39:20,920
Speaker 1: Jaguars at all. Whatever they wanted him to do, he

806
00:39:20,960 --> 00:39:24,720
Speaker 1: fell off water. He fell off a second string lineman

807
00:39:24,719 --> 00:39:26,759
Speaker 1: at every position in Jackson that day. They are they

808
00:39:26,880 --> 00:39:29,400
Speaker 1: need they need they need this eight month break to

809
00:39:29,440 --> 00:39:31,920
Speaker 1: go away and come back for the Texans. You put it, well,

810
00:39:31,960 --> 00:39:33,480
Speaker 1: it was just sort of a day at the office.

811
00:39:33,520 --> 00:39:37,680
Speaker 1: I'm a little concerned about the where this version of

812
00:39:37,680 --> 00:39:41,160
Speaker 1: the Texans offense. It's not where it was weeks ago

813
00:39:41,280 --> 00:39:43,959
Speaker 1: and months ago. I think they can get back on track.

814
00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:45,840
Speaker 1: It's still just a lot of DeAndre Hopkins, who had

815
00:39:45,840 --> 00:39:49,400
Speaker 1: a hundred and forty seven yards. Lamar Miller looked healthy

816
00:39:49,440 --> 00:39:52,000
Speaker 1: to me, at least he ran hard, not from much yardage.

817
00:39:52,160 --> 00:39:54,520
Speaker 1: But I was a little concerned with the way they

818
00:39:54,560 --> 00:39:57,520
Speaker 1: used to Shaun Watson. They're burying this team and with

819
00:39:57,600 --> 00:39:59,719
Speaker 1: two minutes to go, he's still running into traffic and

820
00:39:59,719 --> 00:40:02,480
Speaker 1: getting wallet by people. It's like, just pull them from

821
00:40:02,480 --> 00:40:05,480
Speaker 1: the game, or or operate differently. Please the way you

822
00:40:05,760 --> 00:40:08,880
Speaker 1: the way Shook looks at the Chiefs as potentially vulnerable

823
00:40:08,920 --> 00:40:11,120
Speaker 1: is how I see Houston. I don't I don't predict

824
00:40:11,120 --> 00:40:14,120
Speaker 1: a long run. Who knows anything, but I just don't

825
00:40:14,160 --> 00:40:16,120
Speaker 1: like how they've closed out the season. And this sounds

826
00:40:16,160 --> 00:40:19,480
Speaker 1: like another similar effort where they won. But do you

827
00:40:19,520 --> 00:40:21,400
Speaker 1: really think this team is hitting the is going to

828
00:40:21,520 --> 00:40:23,520
Speaker 1: knock out a bunch of teams in a loaded as well.

829
00:40:23,520 --> 00:40:25,759
Speaker 1: They got lucky. I think with the draw that you

830
00:40:25,800 --> 00:40:27,799
Speaker 1: get an a f C South opponent in the first

831
00:40:27,920 --> 00:40:31,279
Speaker 1: round and then if you win, then you go to

832
00:40:31,520 --> 00:40:35,040
Speaker 1: New England. Those are more winnable games than other other possibilities.

833
00:40:35,080 --> 00:40:38,879
Speaker 1: That's Houston's time slot. Now that Texas early placed West,

834
00:40:39,960 --> 00:40:44,040
Speaker 1: what do you call it, Texas texavist participated in West,

835
00:40:44,080 --> 00:40:49,680
Speaker 1: It's time the early Saturday after it always goes to Houston.

836
00:40:49,760 --> 00:40:52,719
Speaker 1: I think we could get this trending West text textas

837
00:40:52,760 --> 00:40:55,040
Speaker 1: it's only fitting because it felt like the Bengals for

838
00:40:55,040 --> 00:40:57,279
Speaker 1: a while, we're just losing to the Texans every year

839
00:40:57,320 --> 00:40:59,040
Speaker 1: on West of It. But here's the difference though, that

840
00:40:59,120 --> 00:41:02,239
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson is involved. They have the quarter like this

841
00:41:02,280 --> 00:41:04,640
Speaker 1: is the first time that we're seeing DeShawn Watson in

842
00:41:04,680 --> 00:41:07,600
Speaker 1: the playoffs, and he's done things down the stretch and

843
00:41:07,880 --> 00:41:10,920
Speaker 1: this game doesn't sound any different. That makes me believe

844
00:41:11,000 --> 00:41:14,080
Speaker 1: that he can just carry an entire team because he

845
00:41:14,120 --> 00:41:16,840
Speaker 1: has Basically him and Hopkins are carrying this team, and

846
00:41:16,880 --> 00:41:19,799
Speaker 1: he has played He's been a little under the radar,

847
00:41:19,880 --> 00:41:21,800
Speaker 1: but I think over the last month he has played

848
00:41:22,160 --> 00:41:24,399
Speaker 1: close to that level that you're pretty much the same

849
00:41:24,520 --> 00:41:27,440
Speaker 1: that Baker Mayfield and and other quarterbacks playing at the

850
00:41:27,480 --> 00:41:29,759
Speaker 1: top of their game down the stretch. That's where Watson is.

851
00:41:29,800 --> 00:41:32,400
Speaker 1: The last thing I'd say their defense also did everything

852
00:41:32,400 --> 00:41:34,640
Speaker 1: you could have asked. The one little note. J J.

853
00:41:34,800 --> 00:41:37,560
Speaker 1: Watt appeared to hurt his right arm. He was sort

854
00:41:37,560 --> 00:41:39,840
Speaker 1: of it was hanging in his side before the half,

855
00:41:40,080 --> 00:41:42,319
Speaker 1: and he came back out with that big Brayson and

856
00:41:42,360 --> 00:41:44,680
Speaker 1: he played through the second half. But I want to

857
00:41:44,680 --> 00:41:47,400
Speaker 1: single out J. J. Watt and hopefully he's healthy. But

858
00:41:47,800 --> 00:41:49,600
Speaker 1: he had a sack and a half that gives him

859
00:41:49,960 --> 00:41:52,640
Speaker 1: fifteen and a half of the year finishes the league.

860
00:41:53,080 --> 00:41:56,080
Speaker 1: Uh finished the season leading the league with seven forced fumbles.

861
00:41:56,640 --> 00:41:59,640
Speaker 1: He is trailing now only Reggie White. Uh. He has

862
00:41:59,719 --> 00:42:04,440
Speaker 1: four fifteen SAX seasons. Reggie Head survive and Andrew Luck

863
00:42:04,480 --> 00:42:06,040
Speaker 1: is gonna win Compact Player of the Year, and he

864
00:42:06,080 --> 00:42:08,719
Speaker 1: deserves to because he's a quarterback. In the season he's had.

865
00:42:08,760 --> 00:42:11,200
Speaker 1: But who knows, people swept. I feel like people slept

866
00:42:11,239 --> 00:42:13,319
Speaker 1: a little bit on what they come back two years

867
00:42:13,320 --> 00:42:15,799
Speaker 1: out of the league. Said everyone came back as a

868
00:42:15,840 --> 00:42:19,480
Speaker 1: complete monster. I don't think he's quite as explosive he

869
00:42:19,520 --> 00:42:21,680
Speaker 1: doesn't have the speed like the first pew. He's not

870
00:42:21,719 --> 00:42:23,440
Speaker 1: what J. J. Watt was, but he's still one of

871
00:42:23,480 --> 00:42:25,839
Speaker 1: the best seven or eight defensive players in the league.

872
00:42:25,800 --> 00:42:27,960
Speaker 1: It's the highest motor I've ever seen on a defensive

873
00:42:27,960 --> 00:42:30,359
Speaker 1: place and we should mention they at one of their

874
00:42:30,400 --> 00:42:32,799
Speaker 1: many statements and the jagguars had a few was they

875
00:42:32,800 --> 00:42:35,719
Speaker 1: announced Dug Maron will be back, and David called, well,

876
00:42:35,719 --> 00:42:38,319
Speaker 1: their GM will be back next year. That was the

877
00:42:38,360 --> 00:42:42,120
Speaker 1: more surprising part of the statement to me, that that

878
00:42:42,200 --> 00:42:46,160
Speaker 1: they're keeping called well, who Boardles is kind of blamed

879
00:42:46,200 --> 00:42:48,200
Speaker 1: on him and and you know some of these other

880
00:42:48,280 --> 00:42:50,880
Speaker 1: drafts they have people pinned on him, but they're sticking

881
00:42:50,880 --> 00:42:54,560
Speaker 1: with the same crew into that if they get a quarterback,

882
00:42:54,760 --> 00:42:59,960
Speaker 1: let us move out. Alan's gonna go home deep Samuel

883
00:43:00,160 --> 00:43:04,759
Speaker 1: makes the catch and scores a touchdown. Absolutely, that's how

884
00:43:04,840 --> 00:43:07,880
Speaker 1: you do. This is how your role. Mr Allen a

885
00:43:08,000 --> 00:43:12,560
Speaker 1: big deep post roll men americ coverage, throws it over

886
00:43:12,680 --> 00:43:15,400
Speaker 1: free safety heads and beast the corner. And it's the

887
00:43:15,520 --> 00:43:19,439
Speaker 1: same Mick Mixon and Eugene Robinson and the Panthers radio

888
00:43:19,440 --> 00:43:22,759
Speaker 1: network with a call. Kyle Allen, an undrafted rookie through

889
00:43:22,800 --> 00:43:26,560
Speaker 1: for two yards, two scores. He left with a shoulder injury,

890
00:43:26,640 --> 00:43:28,600
Speaker 1: but by them the game was in hand, the Panther's

891
00:43:28,640 --> 00:43:31,800
Speaker 1: cruise to a thirty three fourteen win over the Saints.

892
00:43:31,880 --> 00:43:34,520
Speaker 1: Saints were playing for nothing and Drew Brees was on

893
00:43:34,880 --> 00:43:38,040
Speaker 1: the sideline. Greg, you didn't like the way the Saints

894
00:43:38,040 --> 00:43:40,680
Speaker 1: into their season. They'll protect, particularly on the defensive. But

895
00:43:40,960 --> 00:43:42,640
Speaker 1: I mean, I I don't know what to take from it.

896
00:43:42,880 --> 00:43:45,560
Speaker 1: But all I know is like something doesn't feel right

897
00:43:45,840 --> 00:43:48,400
Speaker 1: when you see Kyle Allen going up and down the

898
00:43:48,440 --> 00:43:52,480
Speaker 1: field on your starting defense, and and football is a

899
00:43:52,480 --> 00:43:55,480
Speaker 1: a mysterious game. You know, it's it's a game of passion.

900
00:43:55,760 --> 00:43:58,399
Speaker 1: But I saw Cam Jordan out there playing his ass off,

901
00:43:58,400 --> 00:44:01,440
Speaker 1: and Damario Davis and marsh On Lattimore, they were all

902
00:44:01,440 --> 00:44:03,799
Speaker 1: playing hard and they were tough plays to be made.

903
00:44:04,000 --> 00:44:07,040
Speaker 1: Their entire starting defense was out there as Kyle Allen

904
00:44:07,120 --> 00:44:11,080
Speaker 1: led them to three touchdowns uh in four scoring drives

905
00:44:11,280 --> 00:44:14,839
Speaker 1: in every first half possession. So I don't know, it's

906
00:44:14,840 --> 00:44:17,319
Speaker 1: not a big I don't think less of them long term,

907
00:44:17,320 --> 00:44:19,120
Speaker 1: but I think it's fair to say the Saints have

908
00:44:19,160 --> 00:44:21,560
Speaker 1: not been dominant in six weeks. That's just a fact

909
00:44:22,000 --> 00:44:25,080
Speaker 1: that whether it's been the offense or you know, the

910
00:44:25,160 --> 00:44:27,520
Speaker 1: last couple of weeks of defense hasn't played that well.

911
00:44:27,719 --> 00:44:30,680
Speaker 1: They haven't been looking like the Saints from November and

912
00:44:30,760 --> 00:44:34,520
Speaker 1: October the last five weeks. It's just a fact you'd rather.

913
00:44:34,719 --> 00:44:37,759
Speaker 1: You'd rather be they're the best. They're not right now,

914
00:44:37,800 --> 00:44:39,480
Speaker 1: but that they could obviously, they could show up in

915
00:44:39,480 --> 00:44:41,719
Speaker 1: two weeks and be. I don't think it means much,

916
00:44:41,760 --> 00:44:44,160
Speaker 1: but I just don't think they've played close to a

917
00:44:44,200 --> 00:44:46,960
Speaker 1: complete game in a while. And I think that I'm

918
00:44:46,960 --> 00:44:49,279
Speaker 1: sure that makes Sean Payton a little uncomfortable and he

919
00:44:49,360 --> 00:44:52,319
Speaker 1: was probably surprised Teddy Bridgewater in in the Saints offense

920
00:44:52,320 --> 00:44:54,319
Speaker 1: couldn't do mean. I also say that the Rams have

921
00:44:54,480 --> 00:44:57,000
Speaker 1: been through their ups and downs. Every teams in the

922
00:44:57,120 --> 00:45:01,360
Speaker 1: NFC outside of the Bears. He no doubt Panthers nothing

923
00:45:01,360 --> 00:45:05,080
Speaker 1: at halftime. New Orleans um had never been shut out

924
00:45:05,120 --> 00:45:06,799
Speaker 1: at home in the first half, and that was the

925
00:45:06,840 --> 00:45:10,359
Speaker 1: Teddy Bridgewater start today. And there's a lot of talk

926
00:45:10,440 --> 00:45:14,120
Speaker 1: about this being a wonderful audition opportunity for Bridgewater entering

927
00:45:14,160 --> 00:45:15,759
Speaker 1: free free agency. We'll see. I don't know if it

928
00:45:15,800 --> 00:45:17,920
Speaker 1: really is going to hurt his value, but he probably

929
00:45:17,960 --> 00:45:21,040
Speaker 1: would have been better if he lit it up, and

930
00:45:21,080 --> 00:45:23,680
Speaker 1: if he can get out played by an undrafted Brookie. Yeah,

931
00:45:23,680 --> 00:45:26,280
Speaker 1: I mean a lot of it was the Panthers defensive

932
00:45:26,320 --> 00:45:29,720
Speaker 1: line dominated, and so Toronto. I'm instead the left apckle

933
00:45:30,040 --> 00:45:33,000
Speaker 1: was sat in this game, and another Saints offensive lineman

934
00:45:33,080 --> 00:45:37,680
Speaker 1: was hurt early Norford, and they were bum rushing Teddy

935
00:45:37,719 --> 00:45:40,240
Speaker 1: throughout the game. And actually he made some pretty pretty

936
00:45:40,320 --> 00:45:42,120
Speaker 1: nice plays. I didn't take too much away from it.

937
00:45:42,160 --> 00:45:46,000
Speaker 1: From him to the New Jersey Middlelands. Can they make

938
00:45:46,000 --> 00:45:49,840
Speaker 1: a two point conversion? Snapped to Prescott rolling right, throwing

939
00:45:49,880 --> 00:45:54,680
Speaker 1: in the got up for the two points. The Cowboys

940
00:45:54,760 --> 00:46:00,160
Speaker 1: lead with a minute twelve to play. Oh bratcham you

941
00:46:00,200 --> 00:46:04,000
Speaker 1: know him as the sham God Cowboys Radio Network, uh Dak.

942
00:46:04,000 --> 00:46:06,680
Speaker 1: Prescott connected on a two point conversion pass to Michael

943
00:46:06,719 --> 00:46:09,840
Speaker 1: Gallop that after a thirty two yard fourth down touchdown

944
00:46:09,880 --> 00:46:12,480
Speaker 1: throw to Cole Beasley, a wonderful catch by Cole Beasley,

945
00:46:13,320 --> 00:46:18,440
Speaker 1: the playoff bound Cowboys nip and thirty six. The thirty

946
00:46:18,480 --> 00:46:21,480
Speaker 1: five Dallas finished his ten at six. They host the

947
00:46:21,520 --> 00:46:27,000
Speaker 1: Seahawks next week in the wild card playoffs. Um, really

948
00:46:27,120 --> 00:46:30,480
Speaker 1: nice fade out there, Ricky. That was we were on

949
00:46:30,520 --> 00:46:33,560
Speaker 1: like the same wave length there and and I really

950
00:46:33,800 --> 00:46:36,720
Speaker 1: I can't appreciate it enough. Soundboard gold. When you guys

951
00:46:36,760 --> 00:46:42,080
Speaker 1: are in sync, it's just like what Marino ancient poetry.

952
00:46:42,120 --> 00:46:45,799
Speaker 1: Thank you keep going. I was like, like two people

953
00:46:45,800 --> 00:46:51,320
Speaker 1: that Erica doesn't know came out first, and I was like,

954
00:46:51,360 --> 00:46:54,120
Speaker 1: all right, who do you go with it? Uh? Jason

955
00:46:54,120 --> 00:46:56,720
Speaker 1: Garrett mixes it up here. They in the years where

956
00:46:56,840 --> 00:46:59,120
Speaker 1: he has had a good Cowboys team and there wasn't

957
00:46:59,120 --> 00:47:02,320
Speaker 1: a lot to play for. Uh. He is sat players

958
00:47:02,320 --> 00:47:04,680
Speaker 1: in the past, and I've been criticized for when Dallas

959
00:47:04,719 --> 00:47:09,320
Speaker 1: inevitably came up short in the playoffs. In this game, Uh,

960
00:47:09,400 --> 00:47:11,840
Speaker 1: he kind of went halfway. Greg, we didn't talk about this.

961
00:47:11,880 --> 00:47:13,680
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't know. Maybe you knew it, but

962
00:47:13,760 --> 00:47:16,640
Speaker 1: I didn't. He did start Prescott, but he did, said

963
00:47:16,760 --> 00:47:19,760
Speaker 1: said Zeke. But it also sat most of his offensive line,

964
00:47:20,160 --> 00:47:22,600
Speaker 1: which you could say was a little bit of a gamble,

965
00:47:22,680 --> 00:47:25,480
Speaker 1: putting your QB one behind the post of his offensive line.

966
00:47:26,120 --> 00:47:28,040
Speaker 1: I thought I read that somewhere. I could be wrong,

967
00:47:28,360 --> 00:47:31,600
Speaker 1: but either way, there he got rewarded because Prescott came

968
00:47:31,600 --> 00:47:34,120
Speaker 1: out of the game healthy, I believe, and also played

969
00:47:34,120 --> 00:47:36,560
Speaker 1: his balls off in this game, he played tremendously and

970
00:47:36,600 --> 00:47:40,120
Speaker 1: that has to be a good positive vibe for him

971
00:47:40,320 --> 00:47:43,359
Speaker 1: with Seattle come into town. Yeah, Tyrne Smith did sit

972
00:47:43,480 --> 00:47:45,759
Speaker 1: for this game, and so they started Cam Fleming, who

973
00:47:45,760 --> 00:47:48,520
Speaker 1: almost got Dak Prescott killed. So that is a little strange.

974
00:47:48,560 --> 00:47:51,560
Speaker 1: Zack Martin was always iffy, but I like that approach

975
00:47:51,880 --> 00:47:55,320
Speaker 1: and the Cowboys now feel, I think good about themselves

976
00:47:55,320 --> 00:47:57,120
Speaker 1: to finish out a game like that. I mean, Jerry

977
00:47:57,200 --> 00:47:59,600
Speaker 1: Jones was like saying, you couldn't have come up with

978
00:47:59,600 --> 00:48:01,640
Speaker 1: a better a way to enter the playoffs than this.

979
00:48:01,920 --> 00:48:03,759
Speaker 1: We also when you could have just blown the mat

980
00:48:03,800 --> 00:48:06,560
Speaker 1: Layton vander ash at one point goes down after getting

981
00:48:06,760 --> 00:48:08,640
Speaker 1: kind of rolled up on her whipped. It was kind

982
00:48:08,680 --> 00:48:11,480
Speaker 1: of a tricky play. He eventually walked off under his

983
00:48:11,520 --> 00:48:13,520
Speaker 1: own power, and I think he's okay. But they cut

984
00:48:13,560 --> 00:48:18,000
Speaker 1: immediately to the Jara suite and Jerry looked like he

985
00:48:18,040 --> 00:48:19,840
Speaker 1: saw a ghost and he had a he had a

986
00:48:19,960 --> 00:48:22,560
Speaker 1: rolled up program in his hand, and you could tell

987
00:48:22,640 --> 00:48:25,399
Speaker 1: him gripping the program and like crushing in his hand,

988
00:48:25,719 --> 00:48:28,279
Speaker 1: and Jason Garrett's life probably flashed before his eyes without

989
00:48:28,280 --> 00:48:30,200
Speaker 1: even realizing it. They had a lot to work on.

990
00:48:30,239 --> 00:48:32,319
Speaker 1: In terms of their passing game, I mean, I'd be

991
00:48:32,360 --> 00:48:34,840
Speaker 1: a little concerned that Marie Cooper hasn't gone over thirty

992
00:48:34,840 --> 00:48:36,520
Speaker 1: five yards and three straight games. He threw it to

993
00:48:36,560 --> 00:48:40,759
Speaker 1: him eleven times today. It was terribly inefficient. So each

994
00:48:40,760 --> 00:48:42,880
Speaker 1: week they've been kind of struggling to get through some

995
00:48:42,920 --> 00:48:47,480
Speaker 1: things that they haven't been in sync, which is why

996
00:48:47,640 --> 00:48:49,120
Speaker 1: why not get a little more. They did get a

997
00:48:49,160 --> 00:48:51,200
Speaker 1: good game from Blake charwhen they have something to tight

998
00:48:51,280 --> 00:48:54,160
Speaker 1: end finally, hundred four hundred nineteen yards three touchdowns. I

999
00:48:54,200 --> 00:48:55,719
Speaker 1: don't know if they have something at tight end the

1000
00:48:55,719 --> 00:48:58,560
Speaker 1: Giants today that that was today they did today. Blake

1001
00:48:58,640 --> 00:49:01,840
Speaker 1: Jarwin played like Jays and Witten like on uh some

1002
00:49:01,920 --> 00:49:04,120
Speaker 1: type of a p D that has yet to be invented.

1003
00:49:04,160 --> 00:49:07,000
Speaker 1: It was a wonderful Was this enough to get Eli

1004
00:49:07,080 --> 00:49:10,200
Speaker 1: Manning a two to three year extension? I think six

1005
00:49:10,239 --> 00:49:14,680
Speaker 1: to seven? Yeah, no, bigger. Eli played pretty much for

1006
00:49:14,840 --> 00:49:16,719
Speaker 1: another couple of years in the game. But that's the

1007
00:49:16,760 --> 00:49:18,600
Speaker 1: only real story on the offensive side of the ball

1008
00:49:18,680 --> 00:49:21,759
Speaker 1: for the Giants was se Kwon Barkley. Um. I think

1009
00:49:21,800 --> 00:49:24,080
Speaker 1: he's probably gonna win Offensive Rookie of the Year, and

1010
00:49:24,160 --> 00:49:27,200
Speaker 1: he had another huge run he went over a hundred

1011
00:49:27,320 --> 00:49:31,120
Speaker 1: and um has two thousand yards as a rookie all

1012
00:49:31,160 --> 00:49:34,400
Speaker 1: purpose yards also set like the running back receptions record.

1013
00:49:34,760 --> 00:49:36,920
Speaker 1: I mean he had a crazy season. So the Giants

1014
00:49:37,160 --> 00:49:39,480
Speaker 1: they're set at running back, but they have work to do.

1015
00:49:40,080 --> 00:49:44,000
Speaker 1: Let's move on. Seen him in the shotgun passing down

1016
00:49:44,000 --> 00:49:46,320
Speaker 1: looking for Sutton all the way and that one's picked

1017
00:49:46,360 --> 00:49:50,440
Speaker 1: off and could be returned for two points. Casey Hayward

1018
00:49:50,480 --> 00:49:53,000
Speaker 1: has it really one man to beat. Can you hold

1019
00:49:53,080 --> 00:49:55,560
Speaker 1: him all? He keeps his feet and he's gonna take

1020
00:49:55,560 --> 00:49:58,719
Speaker 1: it all the way for the two points. Casey Hayward

1021
00:50:00,719 --> 00:50:04,200
Speaker 1: does not have an interception this season, but has a

1022
00:50:04,239 --> 00:50:07,160
Speaker 1: two point conversion. First of all, very smart played by

1023
00:50:07,200 --> 00:50:09,000
Speaker 1: Derwin James. Not to get the block in the back

1024
00:50:09,400 --> 00:50:11,320
Speaker 1: kind of left that one up to Casey and Casey

1025
00:50:11,360 --> 00:50:13,880
Speaker 1: took care of the rest and Money they handled the

1026
00:50:13,920 --> 00:50:18,279
Speaker 1: perfect unt Matt money Smith what gets the unicorn call

1027
00:50:18,400 --> 00:50:21,920
Speaker 1: the rare two point reverse two point conversion. It was

1028
00:50:21,960 --> 00:50:27,480
Speaker 1: a key play and the Chargers otherwise underwhelming win over

1029
00:50:27,600 --> 00:50:29,960
Speaker 1: the Broncos. The Chargers end the season at twelve and four.

1030
00:50:30,239 --> 00:50:31,680
Speaker 1: They have to settle for the fifth seas in the

1031
00:50:31,680 --> 00:50:33,600
Speaker 1: a f C. Look at the Ravens on the road

1032
00:50:33,680 --> 00:50:36,719
Speaker 1: next week. Tough draw, Greg, especially after what we saw

1033
00:50:36,760 --> 00:50:40,120
Speaker 1: a week ago Saturday. Yeah, I think they're gonna be

1034
00:50:40,160 --> 00:50:42,800
Speaker 1: a little concerned about their offensive line, in their offense

1035
00:50:42,800 --> 00:50:45,880
Speaker 1: in general going into the playoffs, especially considering the opponent.

1036
00:50:45,880 --> 00:50:48,120
Speaker 1: They only ended up with two seventy six yards in

1037
00:50:48,120 --> 00:50:51,000
Speaker 1: this game. Philip Rivers through two interceptions had a hundred

1038
00:50:51,000 --> 00:50:53,120
Speaker 1: and seventy six yards. And if you look at the

1039
00:50:53,160 --> 00:50:56,359
Speaker 1: PF grades for the offensive line in this scream like

1040
00:50:56,480 --> 00:50:58,640
Speaker 1: the last few weeks, it's just a sea of red.

1041
00:50:59,000 --> 00:51:00,960
Speaker 1: That's what it is. You just look at the five

1042
00:51:01,000 --> 00:51:03,400
Speaker 1: offensive lineman, it's just a sea of red. And that

1043
00:51:03,440 --> 00:51:05,960
Speaker 1: means you're not playing well. I don't remember the last

1044
00:51:06,000 --> 00:51:08,759
Speaker 1: time you really were down on a player as much

1045
00:51:08,800 --> 00:51:12,000
Speaker 1: as you are down on Sam Tevy. I mean, there's

1046
00:51:12,000 --> 00:51:15,000
Speaker 1: no doubt he's one of the worst starting offensive linemen

1047
00:51:15,000 --> 00:51:18,000
Speaker 1: in football. It's just that, it's what it is. And

1048
00:51:18,040 --> 00:51:21,360
Speaker 1: they released Joe barks daleoad veteran who went on to

1049
00:51:21,440 --> 00:51:25,359
Speaker 1: become the Cardinals best offense. Yeah, like he's starting at

1050
00:51:25,400 --> 00:51:27,800
Speaker 1: right tackle for the Cardinals now, he's the best offensive lineman,

1051
00:51:27,840 --> 00:51:31,800
Speaker 1: which is damning. With faint praise that's true, um Van's

1052
00:51:31,920 --> 00:51:36,680
Speaker 1: Joseph and again the Big Black Monday specials tomorrow. As

1053
00:51:36,719 --> 00:51:39,399
Speaker 1: of this taping, still has a job. We'll see if

1054
00:51:39,440 --> 00:51:42,399
Speaker 1: that remains the case. But two years into his job

1055
00:51:42,560 --> 00:51:45,399
Speaker 1: and the Broncos are going nowhere. Melvin Gordon got hurt

1056
00:51:45,400 --> 00:51:47,440
Speaker 1: at the end of this game late in a pretty

1057
00:51:47,480 --> 00:51:52,600
Speaker 1: meaningless situation. Uh, and now who knows what his status Again?

1058
00:51:54,880 --> 00:51:57,520
Speaker 1: I am convinced that there is some sort of latter

1059
00:51:57,600 --> 00:51:59,880
Speaker 1: life family journey left for Matt money Smith where he

1060
00:52:00,040 --> 00:52:04,040
Speaker 1: does it is discovered finally that Tom Brokaw is his father.

1061
00:52:04,360 --> 00:52:07,080
Speaker 1: I know he has another father, I'm sure in his life,

1062
00:52:07,080 --> 00:52:10,439
Speaker 1: but that Tom broke Aw is his essentially birth father.

1063
00:52:10,600 --> 00:52:13,400
Speaker 1: I do like the idea of Brokaw just catting it around.

1064
00:52:13,880 --> 00:52:16,759
Speaker 1: I feel like our listeners, there's some reports that might

1065
00:52:16,800 --> 00:52:18,400
Speaker 1: have been the case. Could come up some with some

1066
00:52:18,560 --> 00:52:21,560
Speaker 1: like movie poster like father like son thing and send

1067
00:52:21,560 --> 00:52:24,640
Speaker 1: it to money. You have reports that Tom brock broke

1068
00:52:25,000 --> 00:52:28,319
Speaker 1: I mean around. It's they are not current. There there

1069
00:52:28,480 --> 00:52:30,560
Speaker 1: is there were no there were some, go look it up.

1070
00:52:30,600 --> 00:52:34,480
Speaker 1: There were some, he quickly said breaking. He quickly quickly said,

1071
00:52:34,520 --> 00:52:36,759
Speaker 1: absolutely not. And it's not fair to bring this up

1072
00:52:37,000 --> 00:52:40,160
Speaker 1: many years later. Go google it. Let's reach out to

1073
00:52:40,440 --> 00:52:43,840
Speaker 1: the media insider now, Erica, I did not break the news.

1074
00:52:43,920 --> 00:52:45,520
Speaker 1: It's been It was like a news story like a

1075
00:52:45,600 --> 00:52:49,040
Speaker 1: year ago. Mark Sessler reports Tom broke Hey, by the way,

1076
00:52:49,160 --> 00:52:51,160
Speaker 1: I I don't know what's true or not and think

1077
00:52:51,200 --> 00:52:55,239
Speaker 1: Tom Brokaw is accomplished journalist. So and speaking of journalism,

1078
00:52:55,280 --> 00:52:56,680
Speaker 1: if we're going to throw that out there, we need

1079
00:52:56,719 --> 00:52:58,920
Speaker 1: to hear the other side. So can we reach out

1080
00:52:58,960 --> 00:53:01,960
Speaker 1: to Broca people let him know that Mark Sessler is

1081
00:53:02,000 --> 00:53:06,040
Speaker 1: reporting that never he was, you know, never someone that

1082
00:53:06,080 --> 00:53:09,360
Speaker 1: was loyal to women Catada around throughout the sixties, seventies

1083
00:53:09,400 --> 00:53:11,879
Speaker 1: and eighties. This is Matt Money's father. I don't want

1084
00:53:11,920 --> 00:53:15,919
Speaker 1: to get into this. Breg. We suspect the Desert will

1085
00:53:15,960 --> 00:53:19,879
Speaker 1: not like the Chargers this week in Baltimore. Yeah, they'll

1086
00:53:19,880 --> 00:53:26,040
Speaker 1: be an underdog certainly. Um let us move on. Four

1087
00:53:26,080 --> 00:53:28,560
Speaker 1: man rush from the Rams. He froze it packs the

1088
00:53:28,600 --> 00:53:32,600
Speaker 1: middle of the field. Corey Littleton, what's our ten? Five touchdown?

1089
00:53:32,840 --> 00:53:38,440
Speaker 1: L A. Corey Littleton with his second interception of the game,

1090
00:53:38,920 --> 00:53:43,600
Speaker 1: this one he takes back for six. Corey Littleton with

1091
00:53:43,680 --> 00:53:45,960
Speaker 1: the big play. Jared got through four touchdown pass the

1092
00:53:46,000 --> 00:53:48,799
Speaker 1: c J. Anderson went off for the second street week

1093
00:53:48,840 --> 00:53:51,239
Speaker 1: and the Ramps took care of business a thirty two

1094
00:53:51,280 --> 00:53:54,600
Speaker 1: win over the Niners. Greg What's Hot Gurly wrestling his

1095
00:53:54,719 --> 00:53:56,520
Speaker 1: sore knee once again. The Rams are in need of

1096
00:53:56,520 --> 00:53:58,440
Speaker 1: a nice pick me up on offense, so they got it.

1097
00:53:58,960 --> 00:54:01,839
Speaker 1: They did, and they really got on defense. I mean,

1098
00:54:01,880 --> 00:54:04,560
Speaker 1: there was a point in this game that Jared Goff

1099
00:54:04,600 --> 00:54:06,520
Speaker 1: was two for six for sixteen yards and they were

1100
00:54:06,520 --> 00:54:09,200
Speaker 1: winning one to three, and I think that has to

1101
00:54:09,239 --> 00:54:12,040
Speaker 1: make Sean McVeigh field pretty good. Cory Littleton two interceptions,

1102
00:54:12,440 --> 00:54:16,360
Speaker 1: uh Dante Fowler hit Nick Mullins which caused one of

1103
00:54:16,360 --> 00:54:19,160
Speaker 1: those interceptions. Mark Barron had a big force fumble, and

1104
00:54:19,160 --> 00:54:22,160
Speaker 1: it was just a turnover fest their first four possessions

1105
00:54:22,160 --> 00:54:24,480
Speaker 1: by the forty Niners, and that kind of let the

1106
00:54:24,560 --> 00:54:29,080
Speaker 1: Rams just enjoy a nice Sunday afternoon and then wait

1107
00:54:29,120 --> 00:54:31,520
Speaker 1: for a divisional round home game, which they'll be playing

1108
00:54:31,560 --> 00:54:35,239
Speaker 1: on Saturday night, which means this room could go if

1109
00:54:35,280 --> 00:54:44,279
Speaker 1: we so choose. Is the offensive slump over? I don't know.

1110
00:54:44,360 --> 00:54:45,960
Speaker 1: I don't know what to take out a beating up

1111
00:54:45,960 --> 00:54:48,480
Speaker 1: on the forty Niners and Cardinals. They looked fine. They

1112
00:54:48,480 --> 00:54:51,200
Speaker 1: looked solid in both of those games. I I they

1113
00:54:51,320 --> 00:54:54,360
Speaker 1: you know, they had real concerns and Golf wasn't playing

1114
00:54:54,360 --> 00:54:57,839
Speaker 1: well and he played to just check the box. Nice

1115
00:54:57,920 --> 00:55:00,640
Speaker 1: games in a row against division opponents. They swept the

1116
00:55:00,760 --> 00:55:03,120
Speaker 1: entire division this year. That's how that's how they got

1117
00:55:03,120 --> 00:55:04,800
Speaker 1: the thirteen and three is going six and oh in

1118
00:55:04,840 --> 00:55:06,880
Speaker 1: the NFC. We and also, what's good as Todd Gurley

1119
00:55:06,880 --> 00:55:09,239
Speaker 1: by the time they do play their next game on

1120
00:55:09,239 --> 00:55:12,279
Speaker 1: a Saturday night, and we may me may or may

1121
00:55:12,280 --> 00:55:14,920
Speaker 1: not be there. And if we are there, hopefully the

1122
00:55:15,000 --> 00:55:19,840
Speaker 1: Rams will connect us where we're sitting within three yards

1123
00:55:19,840 --> 00:55:22,440
Speaker 1: of the action. That would be ideal, that would be nice.

1124
00:55:22,800 --> 00:55:25,239
Speaker 1: But Todd Gurley will have gotten about a month of

1125
00:55:25,280 --> 00:55:27,560
Speaker 1: rest from game to game on that name. We don't

1126
00:55:27,560 --> 00:55:29,680
Speaker 1: really know how serious knee injury is. The Rams seem

1127
00:55:29,719 --> 00:55:32,359
Speaker 1: to have been strategic about their how they were going

1128
00:55:32,400 --> 00:55:35,400
Speaker 1: to deal with their number one offensive playmaker. Uh so,

1129
00:55:35,440 --> 00:55:37,120
Speaker 1: we'll have a better idea when he's on the field.

1130
00:55:37,200 --> 00:55:38,839
Speaker 1: But he does get a lot of rest, and that's

1131
00:55:38,840 --> 00:55:41,240
Speaker 1: a good thing. I mean. And apparently C. J. Anderson,

1132
00:55:41,280 --> 00:55:43,719
Speaker 1: who wasn't good enough to stick with the Raiders for

1133
00:55:43,719 --> 00:55:48,239
Speaker 1: more than about forty hours has found himself to be

1134
00:55:48,239 --> 00:55:50,399
Speaker 1: good to be a major player for the Ram two

1135
00:55:50,960 --> 00:55:54,760
Speaker 1: nine nine yards in the last two weeks rushing yards

1136
00:55:54,800 --> 00:55:58,640
Speaker 1: to who needs Todd Gurley shout out to George Kittle

1137
00:55:58,719 --> 00:56:01,520
Speaker 1: forty Niners tight end goes for nine and a hundred

1138
00:56:01,640 --> 00:56:04,840
Speaker 1: forty nine on Sunday and breaks Bronx single season record

1139
00:56:04,880 --> 00:56:07,640
Speaker 1: for most receiving yards by a tight end. I'm giving

1140
00:56:07,680 --> 00:56:10,120
Speaker 1: it to him over Kelsey. You think make him your

1141
00:56:10,160 --> 00:56:13,160
Speaker 1: who's gonna be your first team Opro West, Kiddle, Kelsey

1142
00:56:13,320 --> 00:56:15,720
Speaker 1: or Urtz? Has there ever been such a good field?

1143
00:56:15,760 --> 00:56:18,040
Speaker 1: Probably not. That's it's a tight one and I want

1144
00:56:18,040 --> 00:56:19,520
Speaker 1: to study it a little bit more. But I had

1145
00:56:19,600 --> 00:56:21,719
Speaker 1: Kiddo at mid season. He should be there at the

1146
00:56:21,800 --> 00:56:23,200
Speaker 1: end of the season. I mean, look at the guys

1147
00:56:23,200 --> 00:56:25,279
Speaker 1: throwing to George Kittle compared to the guy throw into

1148
00:56:25,280 --> 00:56:29,799
Speaker 1: Travis Kelsey. That's bad dog. Let's move on here. It

1149
00:56:29,920 --> 00:56:32,520
Speaker 1: is Tyler Rock with the snap, kicks and puts it down,

1150
00:56:34,040 --> 00:56:40,520
Speaker 1: kicks it through the left playing the game. The twenty

1151
00:56:40,600 --> 00:56:47,200
Speaker 1: eight team seasons Tennis shis but more poor they are

1152
00:56:47,280 --> 00:56:53,480
Speaker 1: in the playoff. Yes they are. Steve Rable Seahawks brand

1153
00:56:53,640 --> 00:56:57,839
Speaker 1: Broadcasting with a call, Sebastian Jatakowski made a thirty three

1154
00:56:57,920 --> 00:57:02,279
Speaker 1: yard or final play. Seahawks edge past the Cardinals four

1155
00:57:02,320 --> 00:57:04,719
Speaker 1: at the clink. They wrap up that five seed in

1156
00:57:04,719 --> 00:57:07,320
Speaker 1: the MBSC playoffs. They get a match up at Dolphin

1157
00:57:07,520 --> 00:57:13,759
Speaker 1: at at Dallas next week. Uh, you know, listen, they won,

1158
00:57:14,360 --> 00:57:17,080
Speaker 1: so you know there's a lollipop. Chris Carson won for

1159
00:57:17,120 --> 00:57:19,600
Speaker 1: a career high one two and a touchdown. But this

1160
00:57:19,680 --> 00:57:22,200
Speaker 1: wasn't the best performance you've seen, and Russell Wilson in

1161
00:57:22,240 --> 00:57:23,600
Speaker 1: a game that didn't mean a hell of a lot

1162
00:57:23,640 --> 00:57:25,160
Speaker 1: for the Seahawks. Do you want to see Russell Wilson

1163
00:57:25,200 --> 00:57:27,560
Speaker 1: getting sacked six times? Do you want to see your

1164
00:57:27,560 --> 00:57:30,680
Speaker 1: special teams making a ton of errors? Uh? And letting

1165
00:57:31,000 --> 00:57:34,080
Speaker 1: the Cardinals, who have the number one pick in April's draft,

1166
00:57:34,200 --> 00:57:36,200
Speaker 1: that the worst team in football, make a ton of

1167
00:57:36,200 --> 00:57:38,160
Speaker 1: plays hang around in the game. No, you don't want

1168
00:57:38,160 --> 00:57:40,720
Speaker 1: to see any of that. But Seattle at the end

1169
00:57:40,720 --> 00:57:42,960
Speaker 1: of the day, like the Steelers, a good team that

1170
00:57:43,320 --> 00:57:45,440
Speaker 1: faltered a little bit but got the job done against

1171
00:57:45,520 --> 00:57:49,760
Speaker 1: a much uh inferior opponent. Yeah, Josh Rosen had a

1172
00:57:49,800 --> 00:57:52,200
Speaker 1: really nice throw that would have given them a lead. Yes,

1173
00:57:53,320 --> 00:57:55,800
Speaker 1: that drop that could have been a nice moment, But ultimately,

1174
00:57:56,000 --> 00:57:58,440
Speaker 1: if you're a Cardinals fan, I think you've gotta be

1175
00:57:58,480 --> 00:58:00,720
Speaker 1: happy to get that number one. This is the first

1176
00:58:00,760 --> 00:58:03,640
Speaker 1: time in this matchup Cardinals Seahawks that the road team

1177
00:58:03,640 --> 00:58:06,480
Speaker 1: has won in five years. I mean that the home

1178
00:58:06,520 --> 00:58:08,680
Speaker 1: team has won in five years. Really, isn't that? It

1179
00:58:08,800 --> 00:58:12,200
Speaker 1: seems almost impossible, and you get the feeling we don't

1180
00:58:12,200 --> 00:58:13,680
Speaker 1: need to spend much more time in this game, but

1181
00:58:14,080 --> 00:58:16,480
Speaker 1: you get the feeling that this will not be the

1182
00:58:16,520 --> 00:58:19,520
Speaker 1: last close game the Seahawks play this season. I think

1183
00:58:19,560 --> 00:58:25,560
Speaker 1: this team is built to play tight taught affairs. O. Yes,

1184
00:58:25,640 --> 00:58:27,880
Speaker 1: so I that would be like, lock it up, my

1185
00:58:28,880 --> 00:58:30,560
Speaker 1: I don't know what's going with the Rainmaker, Greg how

1186
00:58:30,600 --> 00:58:37,160
Speaker 1: to do this week? But good no longer. Somebody actually

1187
00:58:37,160 --> 00:58:40,160
Speaker 1: tweeted I don't know if somebody tweeted at me that

1188
00:58:40,360 --> 00:58:42,840
Speaker 1: with like a Vegas ticket that they were getting behind

1189
00:58:42,880 --> 00:58:46,240
Speaker 1: the Rainmaker. You're literally hurting people now now I don't

1190
00:58:46,400 --> 00:58:47,880
Speaker 1: need it. I don't even want to make fun of

1191
00:58:47,920 --> 00:58:49,919
Speaker 1: Greg anymore because I don't want the segment to go away,

1192
00:58:49,920 --> 00:58:52,280
Speaker 1: and I feel like he's feeling a little bad about losing.

1193
00:58:53,880 --> 00:58:56,720
Speaker 1: Was this like an honorary if any of you actually

1194
00:58:56,720 --> 00:58:59,640
Speaker 1: been to like medical school, to this doctor, if any

1195
00:58:59,680 --> 00:59:01,440
Speaker 1: of my rain was going along with it, then I

1196
00:59:01,440 --> 00:59:03,840
Speaker 1: would feel even worse. So you don't care as long

1197
00:59:03,880 --> 00:59:06,520
Speaker 1: as it's I care. But I mean, it's all you

1198
00:59:06,600 --> 00:59:09,400
Speaker 1: heard that first listeners. It's all in fun and not

1199
00:59:09,480 --> 00:59:13,600
Speaker 1: to that guy that sent me to ticket. You put

1200
00:59:13,680 --> 00:59:16,080
Speaker 1: some serious cash down on it too. He did quite

1201
00:59:16,120 --> 00:59:18,040
Speaker 1: a bit, quite a bit of money. Each man is

1202
00:59:18,080 --> 00:59:22,120
Speaker 1: responsible for his own exactly. Don't let the rain maker.

1203
00:59:22,280 --> 00:59:24,680
Speaker 1: You gotta come back, don't. It's like in Vegas, greg

1204
00:59:24,720 --> 00:59:26,800
Speaker 1: You're you're in You're in a you're in a situation

1205
00:59:26,840 --> 00:59:31,440
Speaker 1: now and everybody that likes Vegas and gambles it's been

1206
00:59:31,480 --> 00:59:36,680
Speaker 1: a tiny sample size. You can either bail. It's like

1207
00:59:36,680 --> 00:59:39,240
Speaker 1: you're on blackjack. You're down seven hundred bucks. Am I

1208
00:59:39,240 --> 00:59:40,880
Speaker 1: gonna quit for the weekend? Or am I going to

1209
00:59:40,960 --> 00:59:42,400
Speaker 1: try to get that money back? And it could go

1210
00:59:42,440 --> 00:59:44,480
Speaker 1: both ways. You can find yourself down ten g s

1211
00:59:44,520 --> 00:59:47,240
Speaker 1: by the end of the weekend, or you could rise

1212
00:59:47,320 --> 00:59:50,760
Speaker 1: back from the ashes. Which way is the rainmaker gonna go?

1213
00:59:50,960 --> 00:59:53,560
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't go afraid, I don't go away.

1214
00:59:53,800 --> 00:59:55,640
Speaker 1: I just I doubled down. I think you got to

1215
00:59:55,680 --> 00:59:58,120
Speaker 1: bring back the Anie Lennox sample, and that will be

1216
00:59:58,160 --> 01:00:00,400
Speaker 1: the good luck you need, because Vegas is a belt luck.

1217
01:00:00,600 --> 01:00:06,320
Speaker 1: It's nurse Rainmaker at this point, Rainmaker are and he

1218
01:00:06,320 --> 01:00:09,440
Speaker 1: didn't get he didn't go to med school. I'm not

1219
01:00:09,480 --> 01:00:11,760
Speaker 1: convinced that the evidence is there, but I'm willing to

1220
01:00:11,760 --> 01:00:13,880
Speaker 1: see with the comeback story here, Let's say, Mark, I

1221
01:00:13,880 --> 01:00:15,640
Speaker 1: know you don't listen to the pod when you're not

1222
01:00:15,680 --> 01:00:18,600
Speaker 1: on it, but you should know that uh Greg demanded

1223
01:00:18,640 --> 01:00:23,480
Speaker 1: that Erica scrubbed the Rainmaker an Atlantic sample. We just

1224
01:00:23,600 --> 01:00:25,800
Speaker 1: used the different one. I found it interesting that it

1225
01:00:25,840 --> 01:00:28,000
Speaker 1: returned when I was not on the show, because you're

1226
01:00:28,000 --> 01:00:30,200
Speaker 1: it's it's on your radar that I don't like the segment,

1227
01:00:30,240 --> 01:00:31,560
Speaker 1: and all these people are coming to me, and I

1228
01:00:31,560 --> 01:00:33,400
Speaker 1: think the segment is fine. I just want the results.

1229
01:00:33,400 --> 01:00:35,120
Speaker 1: It's a biopic way to look at it. I wanted

1230
01:00:35,120 --> 01:00:37,120
Speaker 1: to give it a few weeks off and then, you know,

1231
01:00:37,200 --> 01:00:42,360
Speaker 1: surprised with it, I still come back, all right, show exactly,

1232
01:00:42,360 --> 01:00:47,800
Speaker 1: it's a regular gambling Freddie Mercury here alright, crowded his

1233
01:00:47,920 --> 01:00:51,960
Speaker 1: palms heads. Let's move on. Lines up as a fullback

1234
01:00:52,080 --> 01:00:54,800
Speaker 1: in front of Chris Ibury to snap play, actually fake

1235
01:00:55,760 --> 01:01:03,080
Speaker 1: a patch on Miami three one yard line. Kyle Williams

1236
01:01:03,080 --> 01:01:05,960
Speaker 1: fixed a catch wind up as a full back and

1237
01:01:06,080 --> 01:01:08,479
Speaker 1: they threw it to him this time. I'm nine yard

1238
01:01:08,520 --> 01:01:11,960
Speaker 1: pick up on the pass. The pass to Kyle william

1239
01:01:12,120 --> 01:01:15,120
Speaker 1: That was a nice moment. Kyle Williams, the long time

1240
01:01:15,280 --> 01:01:19,800
Speaker 1: Bill's defensive tackle, UH, makes a catch in his last

1241
01:01:19,840 --> 01:01:26,080
Speaker 1: game anyway. UM. Josh Allen Tremaine Edmonds both played big

1242
01:01:26,120 --> 01:01:29,240
Speaker 1: games for the Bills in their season finale. UH. They

1243
01:01:29,240 --> 01:01:33,360
Speaker 1: went seventeen over the Dolphins. Allen through a career best

1244
01:01:33,400 --> 01:01:36,600
Speaker 1: three touchdown passes, scored two more on the ground. Are

1245
01:01:36,640 --> 01:01:39,479
Speaker 1: you kidding me at this? Anyway? The Bills finished six

1246
01:01:39,520 --> 01:01:44,320
Speaker 1: and ten and mark not a successful season in Buffalo.

1247
01:01:44,880 --> 01:01:47,520
Speaker 1: But there's some reason to hope in that city right

1248
01:01:47,520 --> 01:01:49,320
Speaker 1: now with this team. They got a long way to go.

1249
01:01:49,520 --> 01:01:52,960
Speaker 1: But there's some pieces there the week seventeen moments that

1250
01:01:53,000 --> 01:01:55,560
Speaker 1: are very you know, these two teams are essentially you know,

1251
01:01:55,880 --> 01:01:58,280
Speaker 1: zero non prime time a f C East teams that

1252
01:01:58,720 --> 01:02:02,800
Speaker 1: refused to challenge the Patriots for supremacy. But the Bills

1253
01:02:02,840 --> 01:02:04,600
Speaker 1: came out of this. I think there it was a

1254
01:02:04,680 --> 01:02:07,280
Speaker 1: nice positive note to end the season. The Kyle Williams thing.

1255
01:02:07,480 --> 01:02:09,560
Speaker 1: I will say something about that stadium and that fan base.

1256
01:02:09,640 --> 01:02:12,080
Speaker 1: They exploded when that happened, and they are a great

1257
01:02:12,360 --> 01:02:14,480
Speaker 1: fan base, and it is a tough place to play

1258
01:02:14,800 --> 01:02:17,360
Speaker 1: week after week. And the Dolphins did not show up today.

1259
01:02:17,400 --> 01:02:20,480
Speaker 1: And this was, if anything, if this was Ryan Tannehill's

1260
01:02:20,600 --> 01:02:23,840
Speaker 1: last chance to say here I am keep me around.

1261
01:02:24,120 --> 01:02:26,800
Speaker 1: He threw two awful picks, had a strip sack, and

1262
01:02:26,840 --> 01:02:28,920
Speaker 1: I can't blame him for everything that line. He is

1263
01:02:28,920 --> 01:02:32,840
Speaker 1: getting destroyed behind that line over this past month plus.

1264
01:02:32,840 --> 01:02:35,360
Speaker 1: But they just simply could not hang with the Bills

1265
01:02:35,360 --> 01:02:38,000
Speaker 1: and Josh Allen. You go into the off season, I

1266
01:02:38,040 --> 01:02:40,360
Speaker 1: wonder what the offseason narrative will be with Josh Allen,

1267
01:02:40,400 --> 01:02:43,080
Speaker 1: because always these quarterbacks were, Oh, they're refocused on this

1268
01:02:43,160 --> 01:02:45,600
Speaker 1: and get ready for X, Y and Z to change.

1269
01:02:45,880 --> 01:02:48,680
Speaker 1: It's been every Josh Allen game every however you however

1270
01:02:48,720 --> 01:02:50,760
Speaker 1: you saw him going into the season, you'll see him

1271
01:02:50,760 --> 01:02:53,800
Speaker 1: now because there's there's He definitely showed plenty of good

1272
01:02:54,120 --> 01:02:56,160
Speaker 1: to go with the plenty of bad. Absolutely, I mean

1273
01:02:56,200 --> 01:02:58,000
Speaker 1: I think the the what he does on the ground.

1274
01:02:58,000 --> 01:03:01,040
Speaker 1: He had two dazzling runs, including that second touchdown, which

1275
01:03:01,080 --> 01:03:04,280
Speaker 1: was a thirty yards scamper. I mean, Dolphin's not unlike

1276
01:03:04,360 --> 01:03:07,160
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson to some degree, the defense had no idea

1277
01:03:07,200 --> 01:03:08,800
Speaker 1: how to react to him on the ground. But he

1278
01:03:09,200 --> 01:03:13,120
Speaker 1: is also guaranteed to throw a killer interception or to

1279
01:03:13,480 --> 01:03:15,880
Speaker 1: every game, and he did that today. But so it's

1280
01:03:15,920 --> 01:03:19,080
Speaker 1: like he's got to work on the quarterback side of it,

1281
01:03:19,200 --> 01:03:20,760
Speaker 1: not the ground side of it. I mean, there's a

1282
01:03:20,760 --> 01:03:22,200
Speaker 1: lot to do there. I don't think he's ever going

1283
01:03:22,280 --> 01:03:24,520
Speaker 1: to be an accurate quarterback. I think he's probably always

1284
01:03:24,520 --> 01:03:27,760
Speaker 1: gonna struck. He's always gonna struggle with touch on his passes.

1285
01:03:28,440 --> 01:03:30,040
Speaker 1: But I think one thing he'll do in the off

1286
01:03:30,040 --> 01:03:32,200
Speaker 1: scene is clean up his footwork. Right, But can you

1287
01:03:32,280 --> 01:03:35,600
Speaker 1: be like inaccurate like Cam Newton's inaccurate, because if you

1288
01:03:35,600 --> 01:03:39,120
Speaker 1: can get to that level or how Cam has been throughout,

1289
01:03:39,200 --> 01:03:41,400
Speaker 1: then you got something and you can if he's at

1290
01:03:41,400 --> 01:03:43,080
Speaker 1: the level he's been at now, then you can't really

1291
01:03:43,080 --> 01:03:45,520
Speaker 1: would also help, there's just not there's just continually not

1292
01:03:45,600 --> 01:03:47,640
Speaker 1: much around him. I thought that Robert Foster has come

1293
01:03:47,680 --> 01:03:50,280
Speaker 1: on over the past couple of weeks, had a touchdown today,

1294
01:03:50,320 --> 01:03:53,680
Speaker 1: But I'm just you keep the coach, Robert Foster wouldn't

1295
01:03:53,680 --> 01:03:57,280
Speaker 1: start for thirty just saying in Buffalo he's had good games.

1296
01:03:57,400 --> 01:04:00,080
Speaker 1: I don't know what that means, that he's proven that

1297
01:04:00,120 --> 01:04:01,919
Speaker 1: he can run in a straight line and catch a ball.

1298
01:04:02,040 --> 01:04:03,480
Speaker 1: I just don't know how many teams he would start.

1299
01:04:03,520 --> 01:04:07,919
Speaker 1: It's amazing to think about the Dolphins since the hail

1300
01:04:08,160 --> 01:04:09,560
Speaker 1: or whatever you want to call it, the last play

1301
01:04:09,600 --> 01:04:12,200
Speaker 1: against the Patriots, Ryan Tannehill in the last three weeks

1302
01:04:12,240 --> 01:04:14,840
Speaker 1: didn't top a hundred and fifty yards passing once. He

1303
01:04:14,880 --> 01:04:18,320
Speaker 1: had one touchdown in those three weeks. Adam Casee, I

1304
01:04:18,360 --> 01:04:22,000
Speaker 1: think when we convene tomorrow it sounds like he'll probably

1305
01:04:22,120 --> 01:04:25,040
Speaker 1: gone be gone, along with the quarterback and and Tannehill,

1306
01:04:25,360 --> 01:04:28,720
Speaker 1: who his stats and the Dolphins fans always through this

1307
01:04:28,760 --> 01:04:30,920
Speaker 1: avan his stats looked okay this year. I think he

1308
01:04:31,000 --> 01:04:33,520
Speaker 1: was worse this year than he's ever been. I had

1309
01:04:33,600 --> 01:04:35,640
Speaker 1: him like kind of graded out as one of the

1310
01:04:35,640 --> 01:04:38,080
Speaker 1: bottom five or six starters in the league before this

1311
01:04:38,200 --> 01:04:41,000
Speaker 1: three week stretch, and I just think that's that's who

1312
01:04:41,000 --> 01:04:43,120
Speaker 1: he is. And we don't on this podcast. We don't

1313
01:04:43,120 --> 01:04:45,600
Speaker 1: get everything right, but in this case, they are who

1314
01:04:45,640 --> 01:04:48,000
Speaker 1: we thought they were this whole season. He is also

1315
01:04:48,040 --> 01:04:50,320
Speaker 1: playing behind a terrible line, but I don't think that

1316
01:04:50,520 --> 01:04:53,040
Speaker 1: doesn't define but they were. They were like outscored by

1317
01:04:53,040 --> 01:04:55,320
Speaker 1: a hundred plus points, they were outgained by a thousand

1318
01:04:55,320 --> 01:04:57,640
Speaker 1: plus yards. Like this was a team that probably should

1319
01:04:57,640 --> 01:04:59,400
Speaker 1: have won four or five games, and they happened to

1320
01:04:59,440 --> 01:05:02,960
Speaker 1: win seven game. Also had the rare triple ejection on

1321
01:05:03,040 --> 01:05:08,440
Speaker 1: a late hit to Josh Allen that resulted in a

1322
01:05:08,680 --> 01:05:11,800
Speaker 1: dirty It's gonna guess the Kiko Alonzo look delivered. He

1323
01:05:11,920 --> 01:05:14,160
Speaker 1: goes like, what perfect side of the league. This is

1324
01:05:14,240 --> 01:05:17,080
Speaker 1: my time. He he loves going after quarterbacks, especially when

1325
01:05:17,080 --> 01:05:20,840
Speaker 1: the quarterbacks going into a defensive slide position. And if

1326
01:05:20,840 --> 01:05:23,000
Speaker 1: he's a guy on your team, you like to have

1327
01:05:23,080 --> 01:05:26,320
Speaker 1: him around. But that dude drives me crazy. There were

1328
01:05:26,360 --> 01:05:29,000
Speaker 1: Dolphins fans asking me where was Kiko Alonso and my

1329
01:05:29,080 --> 01:05:32,439
Speaker 1: defensive player of the Year list. I was like, when

1330
01:05:32,480 --> 01:05:35,000
Speaker 1: are you talking about? Give me a break to be

1331
01:05:35,080 --> 01:05:37,360
Speaker 1: defensive villain of the year. Am I right? I'm not

1332
01:05:37,400 --> 01:05:40,400
Speaker 1: gonna extend it the seventy three players. Oh damn, let's

1333
01:05:40,400 --> 01:05:46,920
Speaker 1: move on thirty seven yards to win it. Snap trama,

1334
01:05:47,280 --> 01:05:51,280
Speaker 1: kick away and the ball game is over. In it

1335
01:05:51,320 --> 01:05:58,920
Speaker 1: Atlanta wins money Matt for nothing. The album's radio network

1336
01:05:58,960 --> 01:06:02,560
Speaker 1: with the call uh yeah money, Matt made that kick.

1337
01:06:02,680 --> 01:06:05,640
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan had a touchdown reception that was nice. He

1338
01:06:05,680 --> 01:06:09,120
Speaker 1: also threw for two scores in three eight yards. The

1339
01:06:09,320 --> 01:06:13,120
Speaker 1: Falcons and what's been there? What was a disappointing season

1340
01:06:13,160 --> 01:06:16,919
Speaker 1: with at to win over the Bucks. After the game,

1341
01:06:16,960 --> 01:06:20,040
Speaker 1: the Bucks announced that Dirk Cutter was out as head

1342
01:06:20,040 --> 01:06:24,760
Speaker 1: coach after three seasons. Um again, we'll talk about whether

1343
01:06:24,800 --> 01:06:29,200
Speaker 1: that's an attractive job opening Tomorrow's Black Monday Show. But

1344
01:06:29,480 --> 01:06:32,840
Speaker 1: ber no, now West your final thoughts on these two

1345
01:06:33,000 --> 01:06:36,160
Speaker 1: lost teams of the NFC South. This game for the

1346
01:06:36,160 --> 01:06:39,640
Speaker 1: Buccaneers was essentially the same roller coaster as their two

1347
01:06:39,680 --> 01:06:43,480
Speaker 1: thousand eighteen season. They start out hot. You look at

1348
01:06:43,480 --> 01:06:46,120
Speaker 1: the stats and say they are allowing nine less points

1349
01:06:46,160 --> 01:06:48,920
Speaker 1: per game, nine fewer points per game under Mark Duffner

1350
01:06:48,920 --> 01:06:52,600
Speaker 1: than they did under Smith. You see Jason Pierre Paul

1351
01:06:52,680 --> 01:06:54,960
Speaker 1: is up the twelve and a half sacks, Vita Vea

1352
01:06:55,040 --> 01:06:58,400
Speaker 1: is playing great. When they have Gerald McCoy and Lavonte David,

1353
01:06:58,520 --> 01:07:01,640
Speaker 1: they're a better defense. And people think Jamis Winston has

1354
01:07:01,680 --> 01:07:05,440
Speaker 1: a career half career high for first half yards, So

1355
01:07:05,520 --> 01:07:08,400
Speaker 1: you're feeling like maybe we've underestimated where the Bucks roster

1356
01:07:08,520 --> 01:07:12,200
Speaker 1: is heading into two thousand eighteen, and then the Falcon

1357
01:07:12,280 --> 01:07:16,240
Speaker 1: score about thirty straight points on them, and um, you

1358
01:07:16,280 --> 01:07:18,480
Speaker 1: see that Jamis Winston has the most turnovers in the

1359
01:07:18,560 --> 01:07:21,959
Speaker 1: NFL since he entered the league, and you're wondering why

1360
01:07:22,040 --> 01:07:24,000
Speaker 1: we should care about the Bucks at all next year.

1361
01:07:24,320 --> 01:07:27,160
Speaker 1: And then they fight back like get the lead, like

1362
01:07:27,200 --> 01:07:29,360
Speaker 1: that's the most Bucks thing is. After that point, then

1363
01:07:29,360 --> 01:07:31,600
Speaker 1: they scored twelve on answered to get the lead and

1364
01:07:31,640 --> 01:07:35,360
Speaker 1: then blow it again. They announced when they said that

1365
01:07:35,480 --> 01:07:38,400
Speaker 1: cutters out that Jason Light their GM will be leading

1366
01:07:38,400 --> 01:07:44,400
Speaker 1: the search and is staying, so they're going for continuity there. Alright,

1367
01:07:44,480 --> 01:07:47,160
Speaker 1: Julio Jones deserves a little credit. What an unbelievable year.

1368
01:07:47,520 --> 01:07:52,000
Speaker 1: Six hundred yards, sixteen seventy seven and thirteen catches, And

1369
01:07:52,000 --> 01:07:55,040
Speaker 1: there's so many times this year watching the Falcons, I

1370
01:07:55,120 --> 01:07:59,200
Speaker 1: just thought, like, damn it, Julio Jones, Jones amazing and

1371
01:07:59,400 --> 01:08:01,640
Speaker 1: just sort of us this year. But this might I

1372
01:08:01,640 --> 01:08:04,320
Speaker 1: think this was the best Julio Jones season he's ever had,

1373
01:08:04,360 --> 01:08:06,960
Speaker 1: which is saying something. He's incredible, and believe it or not,

1374
01:08:07,040 --> 01:08:08,680
Speaker 1: there are people who think he's one of the most

1375
01:08:08,720 --> 01:08:12,480
Speaker 1: overrated players in the NFL, and I'm just thinking, come on, touchdown?

1376
01:08:12,560 --> 01:08:14,680
Speaker 1: But more does he have to do? He ended up

1377
01:08:14,720 --> 01:08:18,000
Speaker 1: with eight in the end. Anyway, he turns UM thirty

1378
01:08:18,080 --> 01:08:20,600
Speaker 1: the week after the Super Bowl. It is. It is

1379
01:08:20,640 --> 01:08:23,280
Speaker 1: frustrating for a Falcon's Fenn. He essentially burned a year

1380
01:08:23,560 --> 01:08:25,960
Speaker 1: of an all time greats prime. But at least he's

1381
01:08:26,000 --> 01:08:28,839
Speaker 1: delivering the number. I thought you might use the replay

1382
01:08:28,880 --> 01:08:32,240
Speaker 1: call of Matt Ryan scoring on a Philly special, but

1383
01:08:32,320 --> 01:08:36,000
Speaker 1: I understand that wouldn't help with the overall crumbling narrative.

1384
01:08:36,040 --> 01:08:38,760
Speaker 1: You're trying to suppress me. It's not special. Of course,

1385
01:08:38,800 --> 01:08:41,720
Speaker 1: it's not special. It's it's just not special enough. They're

1386
01:08:41,800 --> 01:08:44,240
Speaker 1: changing it to Philly common. I mean, how many helmet

1387
01:08:44,240 --> 01:08:48,200
Speaker 1: catches have we seen? Philly boring? I don't don't go

1388
01:08:48,280 --> 01:08:50,920
Speaker 1: down that one, that one up. Don't go down this

1389
01:08:51,000 --> 01:08:53,559
Speaker 1: road with me. I mean the like, why not listening

1390
01:08:53,600 --> 01:08:56,920
Speaker 1: to the public. The public tells you twenty times every

1391
01:08:56,920 --> 01:08:59,640
Speaker 1: Sunday are a bunch of people new to football in

1392
01:08:59,680 --> 01:09:02,479
Speaker 1: the last three years. Now, the public sometimes to get

1393
01:09:02,520 --> 01:09:04,559
Speaker 1: something things wrong in this country. I can tell you

1394
01:09:04,600 --> 01:09:08,120
Speaker 1: that not this one Sunday night football, not this one

1395
01:09:08,200 --> 01:09:11,560
Speaker 1: cling to your little helmet catch and it looks that way.

1396
01:09:12,000 --> 01:09:16,719
Speaker 1: How does the pocket keeper science that field? Intercepted? Picked

1397
01:09:16,800 --> 01:09:20,479
Speaker 1: up by Kenny Moore to the thirty seven yard line,

1398
01:09:20,520 --> 01:09:27,599
Speaker 1: he goes, Andrew Luck three touchdown passes, Marlon Mack goes

1399
01:09:27,640 --> 01:09:31,240
Speaker 1: for a fuck nineteen and the Colts defense shuts down.

1400
01:09:31,960 --> 01:09:36,080
Speaker 1: Blaine Gathered and the rest of the Tennessee Titoons Forever

1401
01:09:36,160 --> 01:09:39,719
Speaker 1: and always. A thirty three seventeen win for the Cults,

1402
01:09:39,720 --> 01:09:43,120
Speaker 1: who go from one in five to tenants six and

1403
01:09:43,240 --> 01:09:46,959
Speaker 1: they are the sixth seed in the a f C playoffs,

1404
01:09:46,960 --> 01:09:52,760
Speaker 1: which are now set Mark Sessler. An incredible turnaround for

1405
01:09:52,800 --> 01:09:55,400
Speaker 1: the Colts who are dead and buried, and they enter

1406
01:09:55,479 --> 01:09:59,160
Speaker 1: the playoffs as a dangerous team, and they proved themselves

1407
01:09:59,160 --> 01:10:01,919
Speaker 1: to be a better a team than the Tennessee Titoons.

1408
01:10:02,600 --> 01:10:08,880
Speaker 1: It's one of the most interesting. Okay, Carrie, how you

1409
01:10:08,960 --> 01:10:11,000
Speaker 1: like this to now? I have a whole another commentary

1410
01:10:11,040 --> 01:10:14,240
Speaker 1: about that song. By the way, it's uh, we'll get on.

1411
01:10:14,360 --> 01:10:16,120
Speaker 1: We can get to that on a on a weekday

1412
01:10:16,200 --> 01:10:19,320
Speaker 1: show at some point. But um, one of the most interesting.

1413
01:10:19,520 --> 01:10:21,559
Speaker 1: Just waiting for Arika to do that again. But waiting

1414
01:10:21,960 --> 01:10:24,200
Speaker 1: I will not But the the A s C playoff

1415
01:10:24,240 --> 01:10:29,120
Speaker 1: picture to me is fascinating at last, because you Garrette

1416
01:10:29,120 --> 01:10:36,840
Speaker 1: did yourself bad. It's a team like the Texans that

1417
01:10:37,000 --> 01:10:39,639
Speaker 1: starts like you know, I mean, it's not gonna I will.

1418
01:10:39,720 --> 01:10:43,080
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna stop the Texans rip off nine wins.

1419
01:10:43,120 --> 01:10:45,439
Speaker 1: The Cults do what they did, and the and the

1420
01:10:45,479 --> 01:10:49,280
Speaker 1: Cults and Ravens completely transformed themselves during this season. And

1421
01:10:49,320 --> 01:10:51,320
Speaker 1: it's almost like you look at the Chargers and say,

1422
01:10:52,160 --> 01:10:53,720
Speaker 1: I would not want to deal with the Ravens, and

1423
01:10:53,720 --> 01:10:55,400
Speaker 1: if I'm the Texans, I don't want to deal with

1424
01:10:55,439 --> 01:10:57,760
Speaker 1: the Cults on any level. And the Cults tonight got

1425
01:10:57,760 --> 01:10:59,920
Speaker 1: it done against the Titans team that has always point

1426
01:11:00,160 --> 01:11:02,679
Speaker 1: challenged and there's certainly challenged to the air. They opened

1427
01:11:02,680 --> 01:11:05,639
Speaker 1: the game with four punts and closed the game under

1428
01:11:05,640 --> 01:11:08,360
Speaker 1: Blaine Gabbett with two picks and a out on down.

1429
01:11:08,479 --> 01:11:12,120
Speaker 1: We talked about on Thursday and you better play it twice.

1430
01:11:13,800 --> 01:11:18,320
Speaker 1: Weston Sess lock up Colts over Blaine Gabbett. Congratulations on

1431
01:11:19,560 --> 01:11:21,720
Speaker 1: frame in any way you want we talked about. I

1432
01:11:21,760 --> 01:11:24,240
Speaker 1: just said the facts. Um on Thursday we talked to

1433
01:11:24,560 --> 01:11:27,719
Speaker 1: I said I thought this game was a referendum. Greg

1434
01:11:27,760 --> 01:11:32,040
Speaker 1: on the Marcus Mario Marcus Mariota era in Tennessee, and yes,

1435
01:11:32,120 --> 01:11:33,840
Speaker 1: and he said, oh, that's unfair. He didn't even play.

1436
01:11:33,920 --> 01:11:36,000
Speaker 1: But that's part of the point. And we what we're

1437
01:11:36,000 --> 01:11:37,880
Speaker 1: hearing about this injury is that it was it's a

1438
01:11:37,920 --> 01:11:40,280
Speaker 1: serious injury, and they maybe he wouldn't even be able

1439
01:11:40,320 --> 01:11:42,600
Speaker 1: to play next week had they qualified for the playoffs.

1440
01:11:42,960 --> 01:11:45,400
Speaker 1: But if you're the Titans and you're spinning forward, you

1441
01:11:45,439 --> 01:11:47,519
Speaker 1: have to figure out what you are on offense because

1442
01:11:47,560 --> 01:11:51,040
Speaker 1: this team doesn't have a real identity behind Derrick Henry,

1443
01:11:51,040 --> 01:11:53,240
Speaker 1: who caught a fire at the end of the season. Yeah,

1444
01:11:53,280 --> 01:11:56,080
Speaker 1: he You know, Mario didn't take a step forward I

1445
01:11:56,120 --> 01:11:58,799
Speaker 1: think in the way that Mike Rable and Matt Lafleur

1446
01:11:59,040 --> 01:12:02,400
Speaker 1: would have wanted this year. The nerve issue is a concern,

1447
01:12:02,760 --> 01:12:05,880
Speaker 1: but you know, color me shocked that a passing attack

1448
01:12:05,920 --> 01:12:10,240
Speaker 1: in two thousand eighteen with Michael Pruett and Luke Stocker

1449
01:12:10,280 --> 01:12:13,519
Speaker 1: and Darius Jennings as like their second, third, and fourth options,

1450
01:12:13,680 --> 01:12:15,720
Speaker 1: you know, didn't light it up. This was just a

1451
01:12:15,760 --> 01:12:17,880
Speaker 1: game sort of to get out of the way. And

1452
01:12:18,000 --> 01:12:20,400
Speaker 1: I thank the Colts for doing what they should in

1453
01:12:20,439 --> 01:12:23,240
Speaker 1: this game, because this Titans team, they shouldn't have gotten

1454
01:12:23,280 --> 01:12:25,240
Speaker 1: to nine wins. I'm not sure how they did. They

1455
01:12:25,240 --> 01:12:28,439
Speaker 1: felt like they were too too front and center in

1456
01:12:28,479 --> 01:12:31,519
Speaker 1: this season, that the Tennessee Titans like they were everywhere

1457
01:12:31,560 --> 01:12:33,439
Speaker 1: and we didn't need We didn't need them everywhere, and

1458
01:12:33,479 --> 01:12:36,080
Speaker 1: now they're nowhere. They were a solid, respectable team, and

1459
01:12:36,120 --> 01:12:38,559
Speaker 1: any time a team beat the Titans, I gave a

1460
01:12:38,560 --> 01:12:40,479
Speaker 1: team credit for that because they come to play. Can

1461
01:12:40,520 --> 01:12:42,920
Speaker 1: we just book them for nine and seven next year

1462
01:12:42,920 --> 01:12:44,599
Speaker 1: as well, code the year after that and the year

1463
01:12:44,640 --> 01:12:47,520
Speaker 1: after that. That's three straight Yeah, I mean, come on

1464
01:12:47,520 --> 01:12:49,439
Speaker 1: on the flip side, Like Frank Reich, who I think

1465
01:12:49,439 --> 01:12:52,080
Speaker 1: all we all agree with, if he won Coach of

1466
01:12:52,120 --> 01:12:54,639
Speaker 1: the Year, it would be just to open this game

1467
01:12:54,640 --> 01:12:57,439
Speaker 1: on the road with two touchdown drives, the first that

1468
01:12:57,520 --> 01:13:02,559
Speaker 1: went twelve plays yards the six the second one sixteen plays.

1469
01:13:02,560 --> 01:13:05,599
Speaker 1: For the other thing about him, I love he started

1470
01:13:05,600 --> 01:13:08,639
Speaker 1: the year clean shaven for the most part, with salt

1471
01:13:08,720 --> 01:13:11,760
Speaker 1: and pepper hair. He's now sporting this gigantic white, sort

1472
01:13:11,760 --> 01:13:14,960
Speaker 1: of semi Santa Claus beard. It's like he's just allowed

1473
01:13:15,080 --> 01:13:19,439
Speaker 1: the seasons to change, right. I thought, you know, it

1474
01:13:19,479 --> 01:13:22,240
Speaker 1: was suddenly they said, here's Frank Reik from fifteen years

1475
01:13:22,240 --> 01:13:24,760
Speaker 1: into his Cults campaign. That's how he looks now. It's

1476
01:13:24,800 --> 01:13:28,280
Speaker 1: a great look. Coaches age like presidents. And the season,

1477
01:13:28,680 --> 01:13:32,200
Speaker 1: Frank Greig, I think he he's probably is he gonna

1478
01:13:32,200 --> 01:13:35,920
Speaker 1: win Coach of the Year. I guess Hammer Naggie would be.

1479
01:13:36,400 --> 01:13:40,240
Speaker 1: My guess is yeah, and he deserves And it's such

1480
01:13:40,240 --> 01:13:43,280
Speaker 1: a the culture, such a great story this season, and

1481
01:13:43,320 --> 01:13:45,360
Speaker 1: it's exciting of the h that they're going to be

1482
01:13:45,439 --> 01:13:47,720
Speaker 1: in the playoffs because they can make noise. But from

1483
01:13:47,760 --> 01:13:50,480
Speaker 1: where they were, you think about where they were in January,

1484
01:13:50,520 --> 01:13:53,880
Speaker 1: Andrew Luck still his future in doubt. They get left

1485
01:13:53,920 --> 01:13:56,320
Speaker 1: at the altar at Josh McDaniels. They get off to

1486
01:13:56,360 --> 01:13:59,080
Speaker 1: an one in five start where Andrew Luck we're hearing

1487
01:13:59,160 --> 01:14:01,960
Speaker 1: a funeral march music behind him when you talk about him.

1488
01:14:02,080 --> 01:14:04,880
Speaker 1: And now you fast forward to the last days of

1489
01:14:04,880 --> 01:14:08,080
Speaker 1: two thousand eighteen and they are a real threat in

1490
01:14:08,080 --> 01:14:09,600
Speaker 1: the a f C. There's gonna be a great a

1491
01:14:09,720 --> 01:14:11,960
Speaker 1: f C playoff and we talked about on Thursday, the

1492
01:14:12,000 --> 01:14:15,240
Speaker 1: wild card weekend. Every matchup Israeli. The Steelers were a

1493
01:14:15,240 --> 01:14:17,639
Speaker 1: team that absolutely could hang with any of these teams.

1494
01:14:17,640 --> 01:14:20,080
Speaker 1: They missed the playoffs. That's how many quality teams are

1495
01:14:20,080 --> 01:14:22,800
Speaker 1: in the a f C. It's not the Texans fault

1496
01:14:22,840 --> 01:14:25,120
Speaker 1: that they lost to Marius Thomas. They lost Will Fuller.

1497
01:14:25,479 --> 01:14:28,280
Speaker 1: Their offensive line is back to playing very poorly again.

1498
01:14:28,720 --> 01:14:30,519
Speaker 1: And you could say this about the Colts at several

1499
01:14:30,520 --> 01:14:32,880
Speaker 1: stages throughout the season when they were banged up. But

1500
01:14:33,000 --> 01:14:35,360
Speaker 1: right now the Colts have a stronger team than the Texas.

1501
01:14:35,520 --> 01:14:37,559
Speaker 1: Well they and they just want in Houston. I mean

1502
01:14:37,600 --> 01:14:40,519
Speaker 1: that was probably the key win of their entire season.

1503
01:14:40,800 --> 01:14:43,120
Speaker 1: Was was that three weeks ago when they when they

1504
01:14:43,120 --> 01:14:45,320
Speaker 1: want in Houston, Right around the point where you know,

1505
01:14:45,320 --> 01:14:47,519
Speaker 1: I started wondering if the Colts could finish this off.

1506
01:14:47,680 --> 01:14:49,680
Speaker 1: I remember those articles a couple of years ago. It

1507
01:14:49,840 --> 01:14:52,840
Speaker 1: was like a f C South rising, This is the

1508
01:14:52,880 --> 01:14:55,800
Speaker 1: division of the like the young quarterbacks and the good team.

1509
01:14:55,880 --> 01:14:58,719
Speaker 1: It's like wish team. Back then it didn't exactly happen,

1510
01:14:58,840 --> 01:15:02,120
Speaker 1: but here we are getting right. I wrote that moment.

1511
01:15:02,360 --> 01:15:04,920
Speaker 1: I wrote that until at one point, um I had

1512
01:15:04,960 --> 01:15:08,000
Speaker 1: to sit down, like at the owners meeting with Chuck Pagano,

1513
01:15:08,040 --> 01:15:09,680
Speaker 1: who got very annoyed with me when I when I

1514
01:15:09,720 --> 01:15:12,200
Speaker 1: pointed out that the a f C South continually gets

1515
01:15:12,240 --> 01:15:15,000
Speaker 1: hype and underperforms and he did not like that at all. Well,

1516
01:15:15,080 --> 01:15:17,559
Speaker 1: it took a little while, but here we got Deshaun Watson.

1517
01:15:17,640 --> 01:15:19,719
Speaker 1: We got an a f C South game kicking off

1518
01:15:20,120 --> 01:15:23,000
Speaker 1: the playoffs text of this, and we got Deshaun Watson

1519
01:15:23,120 --> 01:15:25,880
Speaker 1: and Andrew Luck two quarterbacks. I'm throughout the Sea in

1520
01:15:25,920 --> 01:15:28,360
Speaker 1: the playoffs. And we have a fraught relationship obviously with

1521
01:15:28,360 --> 01:15:31,400
Speaker 1: Titans fans. But but here's the ts Tytoons. There's no

1522
01:15:31,479 --> 01:15:34,599
Speaker 1: wiggle room here. You had your first encounter with the Cults,

1523
01:15:34,640 --> 01:15:37,240
Speaker 1: you lost thirty eight to ten, and then tonight the

1524
01:15:37,240 --> 01:15:40,040
Speaker 1: thirty three to seventeen. Neither game in question for more

1525
01:15:40,080 --> 01:15:42,439
Speaker 1: than maybe three or four minutes total. Take care of

1526
01:15:42,439 --> 01:15:45,559
Speaker 1: your own business. Yeah, and it's another long off season.

1527
01:15:46,439 --> 01:15:49,320
Speaker 1: Titoons fans of hearing, let me say that word that

1528
01:15:49,360 --> 01:15:52,000
Speaker 1: you hate so much. I think they have a lot

1529
01:15:52,040 --> 01:15:53,760
Speaker 1: to be proud of. They played hard all year, they

1530
01:15:53,760 --> 01:16:01,520
Speaker 1: exceeded expectations. Well, it's over. They need to get some playmakers.

1531
01:16:01,560 --> 01:16:03,920
Speaker 1: They don't have enough difference makers on both sides. It's

1532
01:16:03,920 --> 01:16:07,760
Speaker 1: a very like a roster that's very middle of the road,

1533
01:16:07,800 --> 01:16:10,360
Speaker 1: not bad, not good at a lot of Alright, so
