Different season for Peter and we had 6 00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:33,520 Speaker 1: to keep to leave all pro, five time pro bowler, 7 00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:36,199 Speaker 1: ten career touchdowns while playing on defense. I don't know 8 00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:39,840 Speaker 1: how it happens. Yeah, little little film steady, I'm saying, 9 00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:45,120 Speaker 1: little little guy given ability mixed the two together. Lockdown City, 10 00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:46,839 Speaker 1: O man. You can hear him in the booth for 11 00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:49,279 Speaker 1: Fox with Gus Johnson. We just talked about that. We've 12 00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:51,199 Speaker 1: got some highlights to get you from last night. There 13 00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:52,800 Speaker 1: was not one game, but two. It was like a 14 00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:55,800 Speaker 1: you know, yeah, it was a Sandwich Shamer. Incredible games too. 15 00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:58,720 Speaker 1: All right, let's do it. Let's hear from the Natalie 16 00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:01,240 Speaker 1: attired Justin Fields. He really went for it and I 17 00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:05,319 Speaker 1: like it, and also head coach Matt Aggie. That's been 18 00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:08,000 Speaker 1: a story, that's that's been a story to year for sure. 19 00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:10,360 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, it's just shooting ourselves in the 20 00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:15,360 Speaker 1: foot and once we eliminate those penalties, you know, sacks 21 00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:16,880 Speaker 1: on my part where I should just throw the ball 22 00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:18,680 Speaker 1: the way throw the ball, you know, down to the ground. 23 00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:20,800 Speaker 1: Once we eliminate those, then you know, we start seeing 24 00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:22,440 Speaker 1: more points come up on the board and you know, 25 00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:24,200 Speaker 1: more success from you know, the whole team. I thought 26 00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:26,240 Speaker 1: they defense played great tonight and they put us in 27 00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:30,600 Speaker 1: a position away. It was an emotional game, and I 28 00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:35,600 Speaker 1: think that it sucks losing. But when i'm you know, 29 00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:38,440 Speaker 1: talking to the guys and just knowing for me to 30 00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:40,960 Speaker 1: understand where they're at and to see their fight, I 31 00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:44,840 Speaker 1: appreciate that. We will see what the future holds for 32 00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:46,840 Speaker 1: Matt Naggie. As we look at the playoff picture in 33 00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:50,200 Speaker 1: the NFC after Monday night action, the Vikings slide up 34 00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:53,360 Speaker 1: to that seven, seeing hey the final wildcard spot in 35 00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:56,000 Speaker 1: the NFC. There are handfuls of teams vying for that 36 00:01:56,080 --> 00:02:01,240 Speaker 1: final spot. The Saints, Washington Eagles, Falcon, and Seahawks. Quick reminder, 37 00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:04,720 Speaker 1: two games tonight with playoff implications. Eagles host in Washington 38 00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:08,000 Speaker 1: Football team while the Rams host the Seahawks. Will hopefully 39 00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:10,840 Speaker 1: have an update on Jalen Hurts for you at some point, 40 00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:14,080 Speaker 1: but let's focus on that final spot, gentleman, of the 41 00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:17,000 Speaker 1: teams who are in that in the hunt column, they're 42 00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:19,360 Speaker 1: fighting for that last ticket to the club. Who are you, 43 00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:23,800 Speaker 1: Kyle most intrigued by? Great question, Okay, And I like 44 00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:26,120 Speaker 1: the intrigue because I'm looking in the middle of that 45 00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:29,600 Speaker 1: right column, that just gross gulosh of teams, and right 46 00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:31,680 Speaker 1: in the middle of is this beautiful bald Eagle. And 47 00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:34,200 Speaker 1: I'm very intrigued by the Eagles who played tonight for 48 00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:36,799 Speaker 1: a lot of reasons, really really really late by. We 49 00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:38,120 Speaker 1: haven't seen him in a couple of weeks, and when 50 00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:40,760 Speaker 1: last we saw this Eagles team, and otherwise, really forget 51 00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:43,200 Speaker 1: about twenty twenty one Eagles team. They were winning four 52 00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:46,799 Speaker 1: out of six games, they beat the Saints, they beat 53 00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:48,760 Speaker 1: a Denver team. But I think we all respect when 54 00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:50,800 Speaker 1: it was playing its best football. And I just don't 55 00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:53,920 Speaker 1: know this. Nick Sirianni is a complete enigma, a first 56 00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:56,560 Speaker 1: year head coach who is very eccentric, does thing his 57 00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:59,080 Speaker 1: own way and if you, if you buy into it 58 00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:03,600 Speaker 1: all his sort of Michael Scottish motivational speeches, this is 59 00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:07,040 Speaker 1: on a t for him. Gentlemen, we have one month 60 00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:10,840 Speaker 1: left to play. We control our own destiny. We play Washington, 61 00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:14,320 Speaker 1: New York, Washington, Dallas, all our rowdy friends for the 62 00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:16,160 Speaker 1: rest of it. If we take care of business and 63 00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:18,840 Speaker 1: our division, we are going to the playoffs. Also, there's 64 00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:20,240 Speaker 1: some real things going on with this team. I don't 65 00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:22,160 Speaker 1: know if you saw Jason Kelsey this week his press 66 00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:25,720 Speaker 1: conference in which he was openly emotional about Lane Johnson 67 00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:27,120 Speaker 1: and the things that he has been through and the 68 00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:29,000 Speaker 1: things that he has beat. I think there is a 69 00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:31,239 Speaker 1: real factor that here. And then you have just raw 70 00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:33,519 Speaker 1: young talent like Jalen Hurts, who will be back we're 71 00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:36,240 Speaker 1: hearing tonight, and DeVante Smith we haven't seen in two weeks. 72 00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:39,360 Speaker 1: So the answer is not confidence for sure. It is intrigue. 73 00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:42,400 Speaker 1: Been away, run the ball, have a lot of emotional 74 00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:44,280 Speaker 1: things going for them. Can they get three out of 75 00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:45,840 Speaker 1: four wins get in the playoffs. I can't wait to 76 00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:48,120 Speaker 1: watch Sean going with the birds. Listen. I feel like 77 00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:50,120 Speaker 1: this list that you're giving us k He's kind of 78 00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:54,080 Speaker 1: like when you're at a party, like oh yes, gosh, yeah, everything. 79 00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:57,320 Speaker 1: You're like a kids party or a secret Santa party, right, 80 00:03:57,320 --> 00:03:59,800 Speaker 1: and you're like the last one. There's two gifts left. 81 00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:01,480 Speaker 1: The last one to pick, and it's like a pair 82 00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:04,040 Speaker 1: of mittens and an ugly scarf. Yeah, you're like, I'm 83 00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:06,119 Speaker 1: definitely not wearing the men's give me the scarf. Maybe 84 00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:08,320 Speaker 1: I got high half of it. The candle is already locked. 85 00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:10,880 Speaker 1: There's always a candle. It's locked. You go. If there's booze, 86 00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:13,040 Speaker 1: I'm taking that one. It's locked. You know, at least 87 00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:15,280 Speaker 1: you can celebrate with that. I'm looking at this list 88 00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:17,520 Speaker 1: and the one team that I just can't seem to 89 00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:20,120 Speaker 1: shake my eyes off of is the Saints and what 90 00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:23,120 Speaker 1: they just did to the defending Super Bowl champions. So 91 00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:25,560 Speaker 1: give me the Saints defense. I think when you look 92 00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:28,120 Speaker 1: at at what they just did to the number one 93 00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:31,320 Speaker 1: scoring offense in the entire league, the best quarterback to 94 00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:35,400 Speaker 1: ever play the game and yet came. Jordan took over 95 00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:37,240 Speaker 1: the game. It didn't matter if he was lined up 96 00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:41,400 Speaker 1: over at tristan Worth Surf. He was against Alex Kappa inside, outside, 97 00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:43,880 Speaker 1: he was all over Tom Brady and then Marcus Davenport 98 00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:46,479 Speaker 1: was taking care of business too. They've got a two 99 00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:49,880 Speaker 1: headed monster up front. And I tell you this Saints defense. 100 00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:52,800 Speaker 1: I know the offensive questions are there, but man, this 101 00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:56,599 Speaker 1: defense just shut out the bucks. That right there is 102 00:04:56,600 --> 00:05:00,200 Speaker 1: pretty special. And you know, look it's like that like 103 00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:02,720 Speaker 1: that president that at the secret Santa party. Maybe the 104 00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:05,880 Speaker 1: Saints are that that that mystery bag. Maybe maybe it's 105 00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:09,279 Speaker 1: really little and its mits and you think it's over mixed. 106 00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:10,520 Speaker 1: Put you open it up and there's a role of 107 00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:13,440 Speaker 1: hundreds in there and you're like, let's go found the 108 00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:19,080 Speaker 1: cash scratch like the scratchers. When I look at the teams, uh, 109 00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:20,880 Speaker 1: I look at the Saints as well. Can I talk 110 00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:25,000 Speaker 1: before Sean Shan keep taking all my answers today next 111 00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:28,960 Speaker 1: time you go first, I got you. But I look 112 00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:31,680 Speaker 1: at the rest they remained the schedule. I see Dolphins, Panthers, 113 00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:34,919 Speaker 1: Falcon so all winnable games. And I look at this 114 00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:38,159 Speaker 1: defense man like you said, Davenport, Cam Jordan with the 115 00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:41,120 Speaker 1: rush and these dbs, man, I love what the DBS do. 116 00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:43,360 Speaker 1: Dennis Allen, he asked you to play a lot of 117 00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:45,520 Speaker 1: man coverage. He asked you to make players in these 118 00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:49,360 Speaker 1: fires on Marshaw three, d under Mary, Sean, Robie, that's 119 00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:53,360 Speaker 1: my son. That's Robie, that's my son. And then Devo. 120 00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:55,000 Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. So I love a DBS. 121 00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:57,120 Speaker 1: I love a corners man. They played type man coverage. 122 00:05:57,240 --> 00:06:00,160 Speaker 1: They do exactly what what coach didn't. Allan act I'm 123 00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:02,560 Speaker 1: to do, and I look at the defense. You know, 124 00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:04,440 Speaker 1: I'm a defensive guy, So when I look at playoffs, 125 00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:06,640 Speaker 1: I look at what defense can step up and really 126 00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:09,520 Speaker 1: take over and win whatever game, give us a chance 127 00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:11,880 Speaker 1: to win any game we go to. I look at 128 00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:13,760 Speaker 1: the same defense, and they definitely can do that. You're 129 00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:16,839 Speaker 1: speaking my language. They held Aaron Rodgers and Miss Packers 130 00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:20,080 Speaker 1: without a touchdown earlier this season. Their defense, obviously, their 131 00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:21,680 Speaker 1: offense has been through a lot, and I think that 132 00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:24,280 Speaker 1: if this squad gets into the playoffs, you have to 133 00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:28,279 Speaker 1: consider Sean Payton for coach of their using jamis going 134 00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:30,280 Speaker 1: so many stretches. I mean, if he gets them into 135 00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:32,640 Speaker 1: the dance, I think he should definitely be considered. The 136 00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:35,680 Speaker 1: question is he's looking all at defense and there's a 137 00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:38,920 Speaker 1: Taysom Hill situation. What do you make of him? I 138 00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:41,200 Speaker 1: think it's intriguing. I think they could wreck shop. Could 139 00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:43,200 Speaker 1: they go very far? And you tell me, I just 140 00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:45,240 Speaker 1: like the style. I mean he might he's not gonna 141 00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:47,440 Speaker 1: sit in the pocket like time and throw the ball around, 142 00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:50,400 Speaker 1: But that's not how you win super bowls anyway, and 143 00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:53,000 Speaker 1: you look at you look at even the Chiefs when 144 00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:54,800 Speaker 1: they won a Super Bowl, they run the heck out 145 00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:57,719 Speaker 1: to football. I'm saying Williams almost could have got MVP 146 00:06:57,920 --> 00:06:59,320 Speaker 1: in the Super Bowl, you know what I'm saying. So 147 00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:03,720 Speaker 1: I just like, I just like they make up with 148 00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:06,360 Speaker 1: that defense. You got Kamara, You've got taste them Hill 149 00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:09,760 Speaker 1: running forty five times and see what happened. And so 150 00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:12,160 Speaker 1: you just grind guys out. Beat him up front. You 151 00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:13,720 Speaker 1: got a good old line. You gonna have a couple 152 00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:16,800 Speaker 1: of guys coming back. Grind them out, man, Taysom Hill, 153 00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:19,120 Speaker 1: you run the ball twenty, give it to Kamara twenty. 154 00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:22,200 Speaker 1: It's forty carries for the both of y'all. So twelve 155 00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:27,240 Speaker 1: in for Ingram. I trust the combo more than Sirianni 156 00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:32,120 Speaker 1: and Jalen Hurts, question Mark more than Washington football team. Yeah, 157 00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:34,560 Speaker 1: that's an interesting way to put it in. What's one 158 00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:36,240 Speaker 1: of the teams so then the only one that really 159 00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:41,440 Speaker 1: would be a little scary with maybe Yeah, okay, I 160 00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:44,120 Speaker 1: forgot about that. See, I mean Seahawks, you really trust, 161 00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:46,520 Speaker 1: like you know what, I don't think that Seahawks team 162 00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:49,520 Speaker 1: has it but listen, it's it's naive of us to 163 00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:51,680 Speaker 1: just say Taysto's gonna figure out down the stretch. Like 164 00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:53,480 Speaker 1: we've seen a lot of taste them. It's fun, it's 165 00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:55,560 Speaker 1: really inspired, and I respect them. But he doesn't play 166 00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:58,480 Speaker 1: consistently good quarterback. Will he have to? He has to 167 00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:00,520 Speaker 1: make some big throws.

We haven't been perfect, but 201 00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:38,120 Speaker 1: we're still in it. And as long as we have 202 00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:39,520 Speaker 1: a chance, they still have to to put the ball down 203 00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:42,480 Speaker 1: and play. I'm just thankful for that opportunity that we're 204 00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:47,000 Speaker 1: in December and we're still playing meaningful games. Tennessee one 205 00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:48,880 Speaker 1: game back of the wild card. I love that answer 206 00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:51,439 Speaker 1: from Derek Carr. Tom pellisera joining us now. Tom, We've 207 00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:53,960 Speaker 1: got a game tonight between the Washington football team and 208 00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:57,440 Speaker 1: the Eagles. Obviously it's postponed from Sunday's action. What's the 209 00:09:57,520 --> 00:09:59,920 Speaker 1: latest with Washington and their issues with COVID. Who's going 210 00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:03,760 Speaker 1: to play quarterback tonight? Okay, the Washington football team is 211 00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:07,320 Speaker 1: still awaiting test results for quarterbacks Taylor Heineke and Kyle 212 00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:10,080 Speaker 1: Allen to determine whether either of them could be cleared 213 00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:13,640 Speaker 1: in time to fly to Philadelphia and start against the 214 00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:17,640 Speaker 1: Eagles tonight. Both quarterbacks tested positive late last week for 215 00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:21,920 Speaker 1: COVID nineteen. Under the revised NFL nfl PA protocols, we 216 00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:26,560 Speaker 1: are seeing more fully vaccinated players testing out and returning sooner. 217 00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:30,079 Speaker 1: But as Baker Mayfield found out on Monday, being vaccinated 218 00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:33,280 Speaker 1: and having no symptoms does not guarantee that you're actually 219 00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:35,800 Speaker 1: going to get to play. So if Washington does not 220 00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:39,160 Speaker 1: get either of these quarterbacks back. It's expected to be 221 00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:42,880 Speaker 1: Garrett Gilbert getting the start against the Eagles. Gilbert was 222 00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:46,040 Speaker 1: with Ron Rivera, an offensive coordinator. Scott Turner in Carolina 223 00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:48,880 Speaker 1: made his first NFL start last season for the Cowboys, 224 00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:51,720 Speaker 1: but just signed with Washington off the Patriots practice squad 225 00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:55,240 Speaker 1: five days ago. Washington still has a ton of players 226 00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:58,160 Speaker 1: on the COVID list. They will also be without seven 227 00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:03,080 Speaker 1: assistant coaches tonight has the COVID protocols. Okay, I appreciated. 228 00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:04,760 Speaker 1: Lots up in the air. A lot of factors would 229 00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:07,960 Speaker 1: be keeping her eye on those headed to kickoff tonight 230 00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:11,480 Speaker 1: for that action. That wraps up finally, Week fifteen, Thanks Tom, 231 00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:14,440 Speaker 1: We've got a Christmas Day doublehead or Saturday NFL Network. 232 00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:16,920 Speaker 1: The Browns are back on Saturday.

Christmas lamb. But 235 00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:24,600 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgerson pretty excited about that, didn't he very excited?

Please welcome to the virtual breakfast Table, Scott 258 00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:45,160 Speaker 1: piol Good morning, everybody, thanks for having me. Yeah, back 259 00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:49,480 Speaker 1: when Central Connecticut had some pride, Shawn, Let's go oh 260 00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:52,080 Speaker 1: oh wow, early shots right there. Okay, we got your 261 00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:54,800 Speaker 1: espresso shot. There you go. Listen. We were talking yesterday 262 00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:58,000 Speaker 1: Scott on the show and having a little debate about 263 00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:02,320 Speaker 1: the Ravens going for two again and coming up short. 264 00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:05,360 Speaker 1: We had some discussion here about whether it was the 265 00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:07,400 Speaker 1: right call. Where do you stand on this whole going 266 00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:10,079 Speaker 1: for two and do you like the play call? Sean 267 00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:13,760 Speaker 1: in that particular situation, I'm actually fine with it. I 268 00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:17,440 Speaker 1: understand analytics. I also understand the most important part of 269 00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:22,080 Speaker 1: analytics and decision making is context and circumstances. And I 270 00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:25,120 Speaker 1: think part of what John Harball was talking about is 271 00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:28,120 Speaker 1: exactly what he was talking about. Two weeks prior to that. 272 00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:30,800 Speaker 1: He knew that his kicker could make the kick, He 273 00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:33,680 Speaker 1: knew he could go into overtime. That wasn't the issue 274 00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:38,080 Speaker 1: two weeks ago when they prepared for the Pittsburgh Steelers 275 00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:40,120 Speaker 1: and he had to make that decision. He talked about 276 00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:43,320 Speaker 1: the absence of Marlon Humphrey and the absence of Marcus 277 00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:46,599 Speaker 1: Peters and the secondary being a wreck. Now, if you 278 00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:49,120 Speaker 1: go back and you look at the context of the 279 00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:52,160 Speaker 1: game where it was in the second half. The Green 280 00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:56,320 Speaker 1: Bay Packers had only four drive and in those drives 281 00:13:56,480 --> 00:13:58,720 Speaker 1: they scored on three of them. One was sixty eight 282 00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:01,560 Speaker 1: yards of total offense for touchdown, the other was eighty 283 00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:05,040 Speaker 1: eight yards for a touchdown, then a five play drive 284 00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:08,280 Speaker 1: the game and field goal, then the previous the previous 285 00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:11,000 Speaker 1: drive they stopped him. But he knew that he was 286 00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:13,760 Speaker 1: not only without Humphrey and Peters, but he was also 287 00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:16,720 Speaker 1: without Chris west Street and Jimmy Smith, who we had 288 00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:20,200 Speaker 1: just lost two days earlier. So to me, I liked 289 00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:23,280 Speaker 1: the call because he understood that his defense and his 290 00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:25,360 Speaker 1: team was in a lot of trouble and he was 291 00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:27,360 Speaker 1: going to take the risk on trying to get the 292 00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:31,280 Speaker 1: win in that moment. Yes, Scott, there was some good 293 00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:35,320 Speaker 1: video and audio of John Harbaugh talking to the players said, Hey, 294 00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:36,720 Speaker 1: you guys want to go for this? Heyf we score, 295 00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:38,080 Speaker 1: you want to go for the winner? Do you want 296 00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:39,640 Speaker 1: to go to overtime? And they all said, let's go 297 00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:41,880 Speaker 1: for it. So let's talk about the play call, sprint 298 00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:44,600 Speaker 1: right option. Where does that rank on your game winning 299 00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:48,120 Speaker 1: play calls. I'm a front office guy, I don't make 300 00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:50,360 Speaker 1: play calls. He knew something that I didn't know. I 301 00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:52,960 Speaker 1: gotta trust. I mean, they've got a coordinator who's done 302 00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:54,960 Speaker 1: a pretty good job, probably has a better record of 303 00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:58,960 Speaker 1: play calling than I do. Sir Scott would have said, look, 304 00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:00,600 Speaker 1: I got Mark Andrews out there. You deal with them 305 00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:03,480 Speaker 1: however you want, and we respected Scott. The Chicago Bears 306 00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:05,040 Speaker 1: offense had a tough time again last night, but they 307 00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:07,760 Speaker 1: scored nine points more than the world champion Buccaneers did 308 00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:10,040 Speaker 1: this week. As Scott Brady was shut out on Sunday night, 309 00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:11,560 Speaker 1: it's only the third time in his career. In fact, 310 00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:13,080 Speaker 1: the last time he was shut I was two thousand 311 00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:15,840 Speaker 1: and six with the Patriots. You were there a month ago. 312 00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:19,160 Speaker 1: We talked about these Bucks and you mentioned the age 313 00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:21,080 Speaker 1: and health of their players, and they've just been so 314 00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:24,600 Speaker 1: fortunate with all of these injuries and now this Chris 315 00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:27,160 Speaker 1: Godwin out for the season, Mike Evans knocked out of 316 00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:28,720 Speaker 1: the game, Leonard, We're not knocked out of the game. 317 00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:32,760 Speaker 1: So many lingering issues amidst a shutout loss. How concerned 318 00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:34,800 Speaker 1: are you about the Bucks and they're specifically their offense 319 00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:38,040 Speaker 1: right now, Kyle, I'm concerned, but I'm not at five 320 00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:41,560 Speaker 1: alarm level concerned yet. But to me, this is exactly 321 00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:43,280 Speaker 1: what we talked about a month ago. What is their 322 00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:46,760 Speaker 1: durability going to be with their older players, and now 323 00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:49,120 Speaker 1: they're in a situation where some of their younger players 324 00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:51,960 Speaker 1: in the middle of that game, they lost their three 325 00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:56,120 Speaker 1: top offensive producers. And that is a problem in mid 326 00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:58,880 Speaker 1: game because you don't have a chance to adjust. You know, 327 00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:00,960 Speaker 1: I was with Brady as you mentioned, back in two 328 00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:04,080 Speaker 1: thousand and six when he had that last time that 329 00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:05,880 Speaker 1: he was shut out, and if you go back to 330 00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:08,760 Speaker 1: that game and you remember his starting receivers in that 331 00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:12,520 Speaker 1: game was a thirty five old Troy Brown and Reshape Caldwell, 332 00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:14,600 Speaker 1: the backups and the guys that came in after that 333 00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:18,720 Speaker 1: with Bard Gaffney and Doug Gabriel. Tom has always been 334 00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:23,280 Speaker 1: very transparent talking about how hiss are, how important the 335 00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:27,000 Speaker 1: production players in his offense will be to him. He 336 00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:30,000 Speaker 1: lost those players in the game. Now he's lost Godwin 337 00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:33,080 Speaker 1: for the entire season. This could be a problem moving forward. 338 00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:36,160 Speaker 1: It depends on where four net is at and where 339 00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:37,600 Speaker 1: the rest of the players are going to be. But 340 00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:40,320 Speaker 1: to me, it's a concern, but not at the five 341 00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:45,480 Speaker 1: alarm level yet Kyle Scott Pioli waking up with Good 342 00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:47,320 Speaker 1: Morning Football, I want to talk about the Dolphins. I'm 343 00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:49,520 Speaker 1: excited for them, really, I want them to do well. 344 00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:52,240 Speaker 1: They started the season it was dreadful, lou loss after law. 345 00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:54,640 Speaker 1: They were one in seven. Now they're at five hundred. 346 00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:57,200 Speaker 1: They've won six straight. I don't know were the last 347 00:16:57,240 --> 00:16:59,640 Speaker 1: time at the breakfast table that we unanimously voted on 348 00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:02,240 Speaker 1: an we run champion two? A tongue of Vailoa got 349 00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:05,640 Speaker 1: that honor today? Could you a credit that success from 350 00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:07,919 Speaker 1: whatever that turn was to what they're doing now? From 351 00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:12,000 Speaker 1: a leadership standpoint, Scot Okay, from a leadership standpoint, I 352 00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:15,239 Speaker 1: give credit to the entire leadership group, and honestly that 353 00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:20,800 Speaker 1: starts with Steven Ross. The owner has shown great, great patience. 354 00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:23,240 Speaker 1: He was very concerned, I shouldn't say he was getting 355 00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:25,719 Speaker 1: very concerned. A lot of people concerned about where they 356 00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:28,960 Speaker 1: were at the losses, where was this program headed? And 357 00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:31,840 Speaker 1: a lot of times owners can be impulsive. Stephen Ross 358 00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:36,000 Speaker 1: was not impulsive. He trusted Brian Flores, he trusted Chris Greer. 359 00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:39,119 Speaker 1: He knows that they have a plan, and he said, listen, 360 00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:41,600 Speaker 1: I'm going to ride this out. So he turns things 361 00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:44,360 Speaker 1: over to v Flow and to Chris Greer, and they 362 00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:47,199 Speaker 1: have been able to work their process and do what 363 00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:51,000 Speaker 1: they believe is right, and that's manifesting itself into wins. 364 00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:53,640 Speaker 1: It hasn't been perfect, but right now, as you mentioned, Kay, 365 00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:56,000 Speaker 1: they're on a six game roll, and you know, in 366 00:17:56,040 --> 00:17:58,239 Speaker 1: the NFL you don't just roll out of bed and 367 00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:00,760 Speaker 1: win six in a row. They are due something, right, 368 00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:03,520 Speaker 1: They're doing something well. They beat the Patriots at the 369 00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:06,480 Speaker 1: beginning of the year. They are an improved football team. 370 00:18:06,560 --> 00:18:11,120 Speaker 1: They haven't looked up to the expectations, but sometimes expectations 371 00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:14,040 Speaker 1: can be unfair, so I give credit to their entire 372 00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:19,160 Speaker 1: leadership group. Scott, what's going on? I want to talk 373 00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:22,680 Speaker 1: to so Urban Miyah was fired? What's going on? Urban 374 00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:25,960 Speaker 1: Mina was fired last week? It's been a disappointed year 375 00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:29,280 Speaker 1: in Jacksonville. And you recently wrote about minority coaches on 376 00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:33,280 Speaker 1: NFL dot Com. Who are some of those guys that 377 00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:37,360 Speaker 1: teams like Jacksonville can seriously be considering? Okay, I'm gonna 378 00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:39,520 Speaker 1: talk about three guys in particular from the article, not 379 00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:42,160 Speaker 1: everyone in the article. The first guy I would talk about, though, 380 00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:46,280 Speaker 1: is Jim Caldwell. Jim Caldwell was an very successful head 381 00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:49,119 Speaker 1: coach in the National Football League. Seven seasons as a 382 00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:52,280 Speaker 1: head coach, he went to the playoffs four times, concluding 383 00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:54,960 Speaker 1: twice with the Detroit Lions, which is tough to do. 384 00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:57,560 Speaker 1: He's a last coach to take them to the playoffs. 385 00:18:58,000 --> 00:18:59,840 Speaker 1: You know, knowing Jim and how good of a leader 386 00:18:59,880 --> 00:19:03,640 Speaker 1: he is, how well he stabilizes things, He's smart, He's 387 00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:07,200 Speaker 1: a good leader. And the next person I ever hear 388 00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:10,000 Speaker 1: say anything bad about Jim Caldwell will probably be the 389 00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:12,320 Speaker 1: first person. So he would be on the list of 390 00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:15,040 Speaker 1: people that I think should get an opportunity. Another coach 391 00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:17,320 Speaker 1: I want to talk about has kind of fallen off 392 00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:19,880 Speaker 1: the radar and I don't understand it. Terrell Austin, who 393 00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:23,919 Speaker 1: was the senior decuntive assistant for the Pittsburgh Skillers. We 394 00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:27,520 Speaker 1: interviewed Arrell in twenty fifteen when we hired Dan Quinn. 395 00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:30,400 Speaker 1: To me, he was one of our absolute best interviews, 396 00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:32,960 Speaker 1: and he's interviewed by two or three other teams that 397 00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:34,960 Speaker 1: same year. I was certain he was going to get 398 00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:37,879 Speaker 1: a head coaching job really soon. It never happened, and 399 00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:40,800 Speaker 1: I still don't understand it. He's worked with Jim Caldwell, 400 00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:43,920 Speaker 1: he's worked with Mike Tomlin, He's worked some really good people, 401 00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:46,800 Speaker 1: and he's been a terrific coach himself. The guy who 402 00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:49,760 Speaker 1: I think needs an opportunity. So now, if we go 403 00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:52,920 Speaker 1: into the next kind of coach I'd like to talk about, 404 00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:56,000 Speaker 1: it's the college head coach, and to me, it's Mel Tucker. 405 00:19:56,480 --> 00:19:59,840 Speaker 1: Mel Tucker has coached ten seasons of the NFL's assistant 406 00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:02,639 Speaker 1: He was with Nick Saban three different times in his 407 00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:07,480 Speaker 1: career at Michigan State, at LSU ended Alabama, and when 408 00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:10,239 Speaker 1: Mel was at the Jacksonville Jaguars years ago, I think 409 00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:13,280 Speaker 1: it was twenty eleven, he coached five games as the 410 00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:16,159 Speaker 1: interim head coach and was two and three. Now everyone 411 00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:19,359 Speaker 1: talks about Mel having signed this new contract, which is 412 00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:22,560 Speaker 1: really important. However, one detail about that contract that I 413 00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:25,879 Speaker 1: know is the bio. That contract is only two point 414 00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:27,920 Speaker 1: five million dollars. And if you're an owner that wants 415 00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:31,080 Speaker 1: a good coach, and you think about two point five 416 00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:34,040 Speaker 1: million dollars, they waste a lot more money than that 417 00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:37,080 Speaker 1: during free agency, and the head coach is usually more 418 00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:40,880 Speaker 1: important than any free agent player that you signed. It's 419 00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:43,480 Speaker 1: well said more over at NFL dot com. Slash Poli, 420 00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:45,600 Speaker 1: Scott Piola, thank you so much for joining us. You're 421 00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:49,080 Speaker 1: not the only guest. Mark Cosveldi Scantling is on the program. 422 00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:52,680 Speaker 1: Jordan and up next joining us defensive lineman crushed to 423 00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:54,879 Speaker 1: the Wilkins. He'd better for bringing an energy from this 424 00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:56,919 Speaker 1: Dolphin squad. I just typed up and talked about we 425 00:20:56,960 --> 00:21:00,800 Speaker 1: will discuss his touchdown, the big man, leap into the stands, 426 00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:03,600 Speaker 1: the worm, it's all come out of the hellbreak Dolphins 427 00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:19,960 Speaker 1: fans stay tuned on our long emotion. We actually it's touchdown. 428 00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:23,920 Speaker 1: Wilkins does the land good leap into the stands and 429 00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:26,000 Speaker 1: maybe maybe a cray to get him out of here. 430 00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:30,840 Speaker 1: I'm very excited about. If you ask me, is there 431 00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:32,920 Speaker 1: a hotter team in the NFL? Or who's the hottest team, 432 00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:35,080 Speaker 1: I would tell you the Miami Dolphins, yep. On the 433 00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:38,120 Speaker 1: sixth grame wind streak joining us now the big man 434 00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:41,000 Speaker 1: from Miami, he is here with us right now, is 435 00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:44,879 Speaker 1: celebrating his twenty second Berth, twenty sixth birthday yesterday.

I went outside 455 00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:47,680 Speaker 1: wild before a touchdown, crowd goes wild.

Well, it 458 00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:57,800 Speaker 1: was kind of just a spur of the moment um. 459 00:22:57,960 --> 00:22:59,439 Speaker 1: You know, I just kind of I don't know, I 460 00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:02,439 Speaker 1: just got excite. I actually had a planned celebration. I 461 00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:04,399 Speaker 1: was going to give a shout out to Jamiel Waddle 462 00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:07,320 Speaker 1: and do the waddle dan um, but you know, because 463 00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:09,760 Speaker 1: he wasn't playing in the game Sunday. But I kind 464 00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:11,840 Speaker 1: of went rogue. I kind of went rog and forgot 465 00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:13,800 Speaker 1: about him. Um, you know, he's a rookie anyway, we 466 00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:17,920 Speaker 1: don't care about him, Nay. So I just went rogue, 467 00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:21,280 Speaker 1: got excited, jumped in the crowd, came out still still 468 00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:24,560 Speaker 1: folk good, still wanted to celebrate.

Man, So what's the 477 00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:54,960 Speaker 1: key to it? What's the key to the turnaround? The 478 00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:56,919 Speaker 1: biggest thing is you know, just even you know, when 479 00:23:56,960 --> 00:23:59,480 Speaker 1: things were bad, we're able to u you know, just 480 00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:02,760 Speaker 1: stick together through it all.

Letter Fournette left Sunday's game with a hamstring injury. 632 00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:33,600 Speaker 1: Rojo looked great, filling in seventy one total yards on 633 00:31:33,600 --> 00:31:35,560 Speaker 1: ten touches to finish out the game. There's a good 634 00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:37,560 Speaker 1: chance for that misses a week or two with the injury. 635 00:31:37,640 --> 00:31:40,480 Speaker 1: Keep it here for that. It's absolutely worth scooping up 636 00:31:40,560 --> 00:31:43,720 Speaker 1: Jones ahead of the Bucks matchup in Carolina. Also worth 637 00:31:43,760 --> 00:31:46,040 Speaker 1: noting Rojo went off for one hundred and ninety eight 638 00:31:46,120 --> 00:31:48,720 Speaker 1: total yards and a touchdown the last time you face 639 00:31:48,840 --> 00:31:51,880 Speaker 1: the Panthers. What a game? Next up? Samaj p ron 640 00:31:52,160 --> 00:31:56,320 Speaker 1: Joe Mixon suffered a left ankle injury late in the 641 00:31:56,360 --> 00:31:59,200 Speaker 1: Bengals win over the Broncos. While he never touched the 642 00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:00,960 Speaker 1: ball again, he did re entered the game for the 643 00:32:01,080 --> 00:32:03,080 Speaker 1: final kneel down. So don't wait to find out Mixon's 644 00:32:03,120 --> 00:32:06,200 Speaker 1: dad is scoop up p Rhyan as an insurance policy 645 00:32:06,400 --> 00:32:08,560 Speaker 1: right now. Mixon has a missed a game yet this year, 646 00:32:08,600 --> 00:32:10,440 Speaker 1: but he was limited by an ankle injury against the 647 00:32:10,440 --> 00:32:13,880 Speaker 1: Packards Week five, and that's when we saw Samaj's step 648 00:32:13,960 --> 00:32:16,600 Speaker 1: up with eighty three total yards and a touchdown that 649 00:32:16,680 --> 00:32:20,080 Speaker 1: fifteen touches. Plan. If Mixon can't go, how about Craig 650 00:32:20,120 --> 00:32:22,920 Speaker 1: Reynolds who entered coming into the chat here, Sure, let's 651 00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:25,760 Speaker 1: do it. It's a Lion's running back. In the Week 652 00:32:25,840 --> 00:32:28,680 Speaker 1: two and during the two weeks since DeAndre Swift Angemal 653 00:32:28,840 --> 00:32:32,160 Speaker 1: Williams have gone out, Reynolds has averaged one hundred and 654 00:32:32,160 --> 00:32:34,400 Speaker 1: eight total yards a game. Nobody's really talking about him. 655 00:32:34,600 --> 00:32:37,320 Speaker 1: Hit one hundred twelve yards twenty six scary Sunday against 656 00:32:37,320 --> 00:32:41,840 Speaker 1: the Cardinals. You saw this thing. He was good. Yeah, 657 00:32:42,040 --> 00:32:45,200 Speaker 1: everybody's talking about Josh his brother. Yeah, it's very there, 658 00:32:45,240 --> 00:32:48,320 Speaker 1: we go, very true if those two guys cannot go again, 659 00:32:48,400 --> 00:32:50,000 Speaker 1: I think he can't put Reynolds in your line up 660 00:32:50,120 --> 00:32:52,560 Speaker 1: this weekend. They've got the Balcons look a correct thing, 661 00:32:52,600 --> 00:32:54,400 Speaker 1: and he's the Mac. Yeah, Kyle, do you have the 662 00:32:54,440 --> 00:32:58,040 Speaker 1: correct pronunciation for this name? Yes? I do. Actually I'm 663 00:32:58,080 --> 00:33:01,719 Speaker 1: on raw Saint Brown, Raw Saint Brown. Well, he's been 664 00:33:01,760 --> 00:33:03,920 Speaker 1: on this list and I've said his name every which way. 665 00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:06,120 Speaker 1: It's the second week in a row because he's still 666 00:33:06,160 --> 00:33:08,520 Speaker 1: out there in over eighty percent of leagues, eighty percent 667 00:33:08,520 --> 00:33:10,040 Speaker 1: of you aren't playing anymore. But I do think if 668 00:33:10,080 --> 00:33:12,440 Speaker 1: he's available, you should add him. These average eight point 669 00:33:12,440 --> 00:33:14,480 Speaker 1: seven catches eighty three yards or the past three weeks, 670 00:33:14,800 --> 00:33:17,160 Speaker 1: over eleven targets a game in that time, he scored 671 00:33:17,200 --> 00:33:20,040 Speaker 1: twice over that span, So that type of volume at 672 00:33:20,040 --> 00:33:21,800 Speaker 1: this point in the season, I like it. You got 673 00:33:21,800 --> 00:33:23,920 Speaker 1: to own him and I would actually consider putting him 674 00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:28,720 Speaker 1: in your lineup against the Falcons. Finally, Bill's receiver, Gabriel Davis. No, 675 00:33:28,880 --> 00:33:31,520 Speaker 1: Daniel Sanders. You exploded with four touchdowns over the last 676 00:33:31,520 --> 00:33:34,480 Speaker 1: three weeks, including a big time performance his past weekend. 677 00:33:34,520 --> 00:33:36,800 Speaker 1: We know he's a deep shot guy. We like seeing 678 00:33:36,840 --> 00:33:39,240 Speaker 1: Josh Allen hend him don't, Michael. It's so fun, especially 679 00:33:39,240 --> 00:33:41,080 Speaker 1: in the red zone. He does deep shots, does resons, 680 00:33:41,080 --> 00:33:43,560 Speaker 1: he does everything. He had five catches, eighty five yards 681 00:33:43,560 --> 00:33:46,280 Speaker 1: and two judgdowns while playing on a season high ninety 682 00:33:46,320 --> 00:33:48,640 Speaker 1: percent of snaps. So if Sanders is still banged up, 683 00:33:48,840 --> 00:33:51,720 Speaker 1: I would absolutely start him this weekend as well. Do 684 00:33:51,880 --> 00:33:54,080 Speaker 1: you guys have it some waiver wire grabs? You've got 685 00:33:54,080 --> 00:33:55,720 Speaker 1: lots of guests here on the show, so we'll get 686 00:33:55,760 --> 00:33:58,480 Speaker 1: to them after this. I took my fantasy food follow 687 00:33:58,520 --> 00:34:00,320 Speaker 1: all keep have you ever done it? I'm in two 688 00:34:00,400 --> 00:34:04,400 Speaker 1: leagues right now. Who's your quarterback? I have? Who's my 689 00:34:04,440 --> 00:34:07,600 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers? And both on both of my teams doing well? Yeah, 690 00:34:07,760 --> 00:34:10,680 Speaker 1: doing well playoffs one team, and I'm kind of ugly 691 00:34:10,719 --> 00:34:12,520 Speaker 1: innther league. That's how it works. Do you think Aaron 692 00:34:12,560 --> 00:34:17,359 Speaker 1: Rodgers might win MVP? I think he will. Let's talk 693 00:34:17,360 --> 00:34:20,200 Speaker 1: to Ken. Jordan's all right there. Years now we've had 694 00:34:20,360 --> 00:34:21,800 Speaker 1: I would know, what would you say, Kyle, like a 695 00:34:21,880 --> 00:34:24,320 Speaker 1: thousand guests on our show over the years, Yeah, something 696 00:34:24,360 --> 00:34:26,600 Speaker 1: like that, close to a thousand, more than a thousand, 697 00:34:26,760 --> 00:34:30,320 Speaker 1: and there's only one person that has successfully thought about 698 00:34:30,360 --> 00:34:34,080 Speaker 1: and executed stealing the good Morning Football morgue off the table. 699 00:34:34,160 --> 00:34:38,360 Speaker 1: It is a highly coveted piece and he did that successfully. 700 00:34:38,360 --> 00:34:40,640 Speaker 1: So now we now joined this gentleman who also happens 701 00:34:40,640 --> 00:34:42,840 Speaker 1: to be, you know, one of the best defensive players league, 702 00:34:42,960 --> 00:34:50,239 Speaker 1: who's recorded what hundred card socks pot five hundred point 703 00:34:50,280 --> 00:34:55,600 Speaker 1: five who county kind of give an half one hundred 704 00:34:55,680 --> 00:34:58,160 Speaker 1: point five steps. It's got a nice ring to it. 705 00:34:58,280 --> 00:35:00,680 Speaker 1: So before we talk about that impressive win on Sunday night, 706 00:35:00,680 --> 00:35:03,800 Speaker 1: we want to talk about another achievement, maybe even more important, 707 00:35:03,840 --> 00:35:07,640 Speaker 1: more important, certainly prestigious and super meaningful. And you, my friend, 708 00:35:07,840 --> 00:35:10,320 Speaker 1: are the Saints nominee for twenty twenty one Walter Peyton 709 00:35:10,320 --> 00:35:13,120 Speaker 1: Man of the Year.

That's dope. That's dope camp. And let's talk 752 00:37:13,600 --> 00:37:15,799 Speaker 1: a little football now. You guys put it off a 753 00:37:15,840 --> 00:37:18,200 Speaker 1: great win against Tom. It's nothing like sending Tom home 754 00:37:18,200 --> 00:37:21,440 Speaker 1: with zero points? But uh, how do a win like this? 755 00:37:21,640 --> 00:37:24,560 Speaker 1: Govnized this locker room and they're making a running at 756 00:37:24,600 --> 00:37:27,960 Speaker 1: these playoffs. Man, Look, I don't even know what the 757 00:37:27,960 --> 00:37:31,240 Speaker 1: playoffs scenario is. You know me, I'm focused on what's next. 758 00:37:31,560 --> 00:37:33,439 Speaker 1: But he like, when it comes down to it, I'd 759 00:37:33,440 --> 00:37:35,480 Speaker 1: love to say, hey, we're gonna win a super Bowl 760 00:37:35,480 --> 00:37:37,000 Speaker 1: this year. I'm gonna say it every year because I 761 00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:38,680 Speaker 1: think there's always a chance. There's a chance for a 762 00:37:38,719 --> 00:37:40,480 Speaker 1: playoff run, that's a chance for a super Bowl run. 763 00:37:40,680 --> 00:37:42,439 Speaker 1: And you know, I'm like you were, seyn I don't 764 00:37:42,440 --> 00:37:44,799 Speaker 1: have a super Bowl ring, so I'm still gunning here 765 00:37:44,880 --> 00:37:49,680 Speaker 1: like we still have so much more to do. Well, listen, Cam, 766 00:37:49,719 --> 00:37:51,239 Speaker 1: you know that's kay and I don't have super Bowl 767 00:37:51,280 --> 00:37:53,200 Speaker 1: rings either. Maybe that's why we love you so much 768 00:37:53,239 --> 00:37:56,720 Speaker 1: and you're focused on what's next. What's next is the Dolphins. 769 00:37:56,760 --> 00:37:58,319 Speaker 1: You gotta win on this camp. So one of our 770 00:37:58,320 --> 00:38:00,640 Speaker 1: favorite moments from the week of games so far was 771 00:38:00,680 --> 00:38:03,640 Speaker 1: this big man touchdown Christian Wilkins defensive end. You're kind 772 00:38:03,680 --> 00:38:06,160 Speaker 1: of player. He gets in on this beautiful route and 773 00:38:06,160 --> 00:38:07,600 Speaker 1: which is going to run the flat here catch it 774 00:38:07,719 --> 00:38:10,680 Speaker 1: from Tua and then Cam, he's basically to do everything 775 00:38:10,800 --> 00:38:13,600 Speaker 1: he does the hard rock leap or whatever it's called. 776 00:38:13,600 --> 00:38:15,880 Speaker 1: That's enough. You think he would leave well enough alone, 777 00:38:16,280 --> 00:38:19,759 Speaker 1: but then he's gonna eventually, eventually, I promise he's gonna 778 00:38:19,760 --> 00:38:23,720 Speaker 1: get into the worm and like a really, really athletic worm. 779 00:38:23,760 --> 00:38:26,760 Speaker 1: And when she writes there bam. He's fully off the ground. 780 00:38:26,800 --> 00:38:29,520 Speaker 1: Now we're asking you about this cam because back in 781 00:38:29,600 --> 00:38:34,000 Speaker 1: the day, you had a very athletic celebration which included 782 00:38:34,680 --> 00:38:38,600 Speaker 1: dunking on the gold post. In twenty seventeen, found pick sip, 783 00:38:38,800 --> 00:38:42,200 Speaker 1: get up camp and ba ba. All right, so let's 784 00:38:42,239 --> 00:38:45,759 Speaker 1: break these down. You play the Dolphins next, you respect game, 785 00:38:46,520 --> 00:38:53,520 Speaker 1: which was more athletic. You're dunk or his worm? That 786 00:38:54,040 --> 00:39:01,120 Speaker 1: word was cringey. It was beause I've seen I've seen 787 00:39:01,480 --> 00:39:03,600 Speaker 1: a defensive end of mine trying to the worm. This 788 00:39:03,760 --> 00:39:06,239 Speaker 1: was way better than Karl Gregson's ever was. I'm gonna 789 00:39:06,239 --> 00:39:08,560 Speaker 1: put that out there. But after after you do you 790 00:39:08,560 --> 00:39:11,759 Speaker 1: know the league, there's there's gotta be there's gotta be 791 00:39:11,800 --> 00:39:14,160 Speaker 1: a finish to the celebration. Fine, I've also that's the 792 00:39:14,200 --> 00:39:19,480 Speaker 1: same guy the splitch, right, I'm gonna leave alone. I'm 793 00:39:19,480 --> 00:39:22,719 Speaker 1: gonna leave alone. That that's barely who we adn't leave 794 00:39:22,719 --> 00:39:24,440 Speaker 1: it alone. You said it was cringing. He doesn't want 795 00:39:24,440 --> 00:39:27,400 Speaker 1: to dunk on. You did dunk on. It said it 796 00:39:27,440 --> 00:39:33,360 Speaker 1: was it was just a lot. Yeah, So kay Minja, 797 00:39:33,560 --> 00:39:35,560 Speaker 1: you got your you got your one hundred career sacked. 798 00:39:35,560 --> 00:39:38,000 Speaker 1: This week, you joined Ricky Jackson as the only other 799 00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:41,760 Speaker 1: player with a hundred Sackson franchise history, not a Sames. 800 00:39:41,800 --> 00:39:44,200 Speaker 1: Fast was pump I was at home pump for you, 801 00:39:44,560 --> 00:39:47,279 Speaker 1: But the babies was the ones who was truly pumped 802 00:39:47,320 --> 00:40:03,000 Speaker 1: for you. Many let's go, that's but let's go. Yeah, 803 00:40:03,040 --> 00:40:05,880 Speaker 1: it was definitely they was definitely excited for you. But 804 00:40:05,880 --> 00:40:07,359 Speaker 1: what was your what was your thought? What was your 805 00:40:07,360 --> 00:40:13,640 Speaker 1: first thought after you after you accomplished this super impressive achievement. Uh, Man, 806 00:40:13,840 --> 00:40:15,360 Speaker 1: I mean to get to a hundred sacks, I'm not 807 00:40:15,360 --> 00:40:17,680 Speaker 1: gonna lie to you. I was looking forward to it. Um. 808 00:40:17,680 --> 00:40:19,080 Speaker 1: I thought I would have hit a probably a couple 809 00:40:19,080 --> 00:40:22,160 Speaker 1: of games ago. But uh, you know, I feel like 810 00:40:22,560 --> 00:40:25,400 Speaker 1: coming back being able to rush for man before, you know, 811 00:40:25,480 --> 00:40:28,160 Speaker 1: for d Lineman on the front.
