Speaker 1: Kyle tell him why because the Giants lost a gentle Yes,

11
00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:48,040
Speaker 1: let's get into it right now. Supper Sales nineteen seventies

12
00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:50,640
Speaker 1: radio hosts Kay and I think that, Yeah, that was

13
00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:52,919
Speaker 1: a crazy reference from you, is it? Doesn't it mean

14
00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:55,840
Speaker 1: somebody who said, I don't know it's a radio host

15
00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:58,400
Speaker 1: from the seventies, really Tom Brady, Yes, you know that

16
00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:00,720
Speaker 1: was born in the super Sales is like a radio legend.

17
00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:04,960
Speaker 1: How I thought the same thing as Debbie down right now,

18
00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:07,240
Speaker 1: Maybe it's become to me and that's way I don't know.

19
00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:09,480
Speaker 1: I think such sales has a heart in um in

20
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:11,040
Speaker 1: dirty dancing. I'm not kid. I think he's like the

21
00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:14,400
Speaker 1: MSc on the stage thirty to ten. The Giants deserve

22
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:16,039
Speaker 1: no better. By the way, I was a rough night

23
00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:17,360
Speaker 1: for the Giants and their quarterbacks. And you just go

24
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:19,559
Speaker 1: back to tell the prompter. Let's hear what Daniel Jones

25
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:25,000
Speaker 1: had to say after the game. I know, as players, um,

26
00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:29,440
Speaker 1: certainly myself you know, feel responsible for for how we

27
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:32,479
Speaker 1: played and executed. And that's on that's on me, that's

28
00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:35,319
Speaker 1: on us to do better. I think, um, you know,

29
00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:38,120
Speaker 1: we were put in position, uh to make plays, and

30
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:41,240
Speaker 1: we've got to make them, um, you know, and that

31
00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:43,920
Speaker 1: certainly starts with me. We'll go back and look at

32
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:47,119
Speaker 1: what happened, look how we can improve and move forward

33
00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:50,200
Speaker 1: as a team. So, um you know, that's certainly my

34
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:53,920
Speaker 1: focus is to look at, um, you know, how I

35
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:57,440
Speaker 1: played tonight and uh you know, correct things I didn't

36
00:01:57,440 --> 00:02:03,440
Speaker 1: do well and uh, move on, move Not the best

37
00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:06,200
Speaker 1: night for Daniel Jones. He's oh and eight, you guys,

38
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:09,480
Speaker 1: he's not one in prime time. He's got just eleven

39
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:12,760
Speaker 1: wins in his career with the New York Giants. To

40
00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:15,000
Speaker 1: use your reference, it's been a long time since we

41
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:18,280
Speaker 1: were talking about the Giants and Odell Jennifer graying into

42
00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:21,680
Speaker 1: it Eli's arms like dirty dancing. It's been a long

43
00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:24,040
Speaker 1: time since they feel good moments with this team. How

44
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:26,880
Speaker 1: do we feel about Daniel Jones his future with the

45
00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:29,720
Speaker 1: Giants and just the Giants in general? Shrikes, Yeah, it's

46
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:33,120
Speaker 1: still on soupy sales over here. Sorry, that's all right.

47
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:35,840
Speaker 1: What's funny about that reference of that commercial? I got

48
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:37,680
Speaker 1: to talk to Euli once. He said that when they

49
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:40,440
Speaker 1: shot that commercial, O'Dell had never seen dirty dancing, had

50
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:42,600
Speaker 1: no idea what they were doing, completely out of contact.

51
00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:45,919
Speaker 1: How perfect is that? Yeah, no, it is. And that's

52
00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:47,480
Speaker 1: how it felt last night, like it was just the

53
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:50,960
Speaker 1: different time in place because Parcels is on the Manning cast. Yeah,

54
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:53,919
Speaker 1: we got Bill Parcels, legendary Giants. You know, coach obviously

55
00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:56,000
Speaker 1: won Super Bowls in eighty six and ninety with the Giants,

56
00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 1: and you're watching this just floundering Giants team with no

57
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:02,320
Speaker 1: spear it and no hard and I'm calling out like

58
00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:04,320
Speaker 1: really like serious thinks it when I'm like, yeah, I'm

59
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:06,560
Speaker 1: trying time like win one game in front of and

60
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:08,920
Speaker 1: there's Parcels and he's and you're like could Parcels go?

61
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:11,160
Speaker 1: He's eighty years old? Could he get on outside? Like?

62
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:13,880
Speaker 1: Could he? Is that what it takes because giantstre to

63
00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:17,960
Speaker 1: this point are at their last last resort on like

64
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:20,600
Speaker 1: what can we do? I'm watching my sa Quan's back

65
00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:22,280
Speaker 1: all right and Beta ban is out and it's like,

66
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:25,000
Speaker 1: can sa Quon get going? This is the number two

67
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:27,720
Speaker 1: overall pick and we've got this offensive line. There's all

68
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:31,080
Speaker 1: this money spent on and squand nothing. Last night it

69
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:33,079
Speaker 1: wasn't even like, you know, I don't know who's you

70
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:35,440
Speaker 1: blame him or you blame the game plan? Where do

71
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:36,880
Speaker 1: you want to go down the list? Do you want

72
00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:39,240
Speaker 1: to really blame Daniel Jones? Daniel Jones is taking a

73
00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:42,480
Speaker 1: beating back there. Daniel Jones is doing and saying everything right,

74
00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:44,119
Speaker 1: like could you blame Daniel Jones? Of course he could

75
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:46,920
Speaker 1: blame Daniel Jones. He's a quarterback of another losing team.

76
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:48,640
Speaker 1: But you want to blame Joe Judge, you can do

77
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:51,240
Speaker 1: that today there's mismanagement on the clock and some you know,

78
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:54,560
Speaker 1: decisions late. You can met Jason Garrett. I mean, I've

79
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:57,400
Speaker 1: got Giants fans texting me, like does Jason Garrett's keycards

80
00:03:57,400 --> 00:03:59,840
Speaker 1: still work tomorrow morning, Like what what is this? And

81
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:02,560
Speaker 1: it's who do you want to blame? And I feel

82
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:04,720
Speaker 1: bad at the end of the day. It's like Giants fans,

83
00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:07,480
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, it's another lost season. I can't pin it

84
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:10,600
Speaker 1: on Daniel Jones. He's just one of many players and

85
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:13,200
Speaker 1: could he maybe somehow come out of this thing and

86
00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:15,720
Speaker 1: be fine? Maybe? Or is this a Sam Bradford situation

87
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:16,839
Speaker 1: with the Jets where it was like there was just

88
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:19,200
Speaker 1: too much damage, too much scarring, And it's like the

89
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:21,160
Speaker 1: fan base wants to start a new and maybe it's

90
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:22,960
Speaker 1: best for him to move on to I don't know.

91
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:24,760
Speaker 1: It's hard to wake up this morning and do anything

92
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:27,280
Speaker 1: but talk about soupy sales because there was nothing positive

93
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:29,240
Speaker 1: about the Giants last night. Sup sales best thing to

94
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:32,080
Speaker 1: happen to the show, shreig Gen's business. You know, the

95
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:34,120
Speaker 1: axe is gonna fall like, it's just I don't know

96
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:36,920
Speaker 1: what the Giants, how many toilets are coming with it?

97
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:41,279
Speaker 1: And Kyle you mentioned not seeing a movie with dirty dancing,

98
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:44,520
Speaker 1: But for Giants fans, we've seen this movie too many times.

99
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:47,240
Speaker 1: It's year in the year out. It's the same damn movie.

100
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:49,800
Speaker 1: I remember sitting here at this breakfast table with you

101
00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:52,640
Speaker 1: guys three years ago, right, and we were talking about

102
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:56,720
Speaker 1: it's Elis Sale, right, Yeah, it's Helis Fall. Oh he's

103
00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:58,520
Speaker 1: a bumb he let's it, he's walhed up. Dania Jones,

104
00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:00,760
Speaker 1: bring us the new guy. Guess what. Fast forward three

105
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:03,039
Speaker 1: years later, we're having the same conversation about Daniel Jones.

106
00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:06,479
Speaker 1: Now maybe the quarterback isn't the issue. Look I'm with

107
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:09,440
Speaker 1: I like Daniel Jones. I like his personality. I think

108
00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:12,120
Speaker 1: he's got what it takes. I think he's a tough kid.

109
00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:15,000
Speaker 1: I think he can do things that Eli can never do.

110
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:16,880
Speaker 1: He can do things that other quarterbacks can't do. But

111
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:18,839
Speaker 1: it's also what's got him in trouble. And I think

112
00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:21,680
Speaker 1: last night the one thing Daniel Jones couldn't do was

113
00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:27,359
Speaker 1: make that error, make that awful interception that you just say, oh, like,

114
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:29,640
Speaker 1: we can't get it because to your point of shrikes,

115
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:32,640
Speaker 1: if he doesn't make that throw right there, the awful

116
00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:35,160
Speaker 1: throw to Steve mcclennon, that interception. Now you're talking about

117
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:37,320
Speaker 1: other things, but it just keeps coming back to that.

118
00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:40,039
Speaker 1: This offene just broken, and that to me is the

119
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:41,880
Speaker 1: biggest thing with here, and you can put any quarterback

120
00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:44,200
Speaker 1: you want in this offense right now, you're not going

121
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:46,600
Speaker 1: to succeed. Tom Brady himself would struggle with this offense

122
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:49,440
Speaker 1: right now because they're dysfunctional. They can't finish drives in

123
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:52,000
Speaker 1: the red zone. Bill Parcels was on The Manicast last

124
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:53,960
Speaker 1: night and he talked about Look. His saying was he

125
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:55,680
Speaker 1: would tell his quarterbacks just don't mess it up. I

126
00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:58,239
Speaker 1: got a great defense. It's your job, just don't mess

127
00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:00,480
Speaker 1: it up. I think I think the Giant things would

128
00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:03,000
Speaker 1: like to get back to that. It sucks because that interception.

129
00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:04,800
Speaker 1: We're gonna show that's so much in the off season.

130
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:06,000
Speaker 1: And I mean we, I just mean the media, Like

131
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:07,960
Speaker 1: that's how the media works. That is the postcard that

132
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:10,000
Speaker 1: they will show over and over. I don't know if

133
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:12,119
Speaker 1: the ax is gonna fall. I saw a bad gift

134
00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:14,200
Speaker 1: this morning about Jason Garrett and it was Tommy from

135
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:16,159
Speaker 1: Goodfellows walking in the room to be made. You know, like,

136
00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:17,840
Speaker 1: I don't know if that's going to go down that way.

137
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:19,960
Speaker 1: But this is where I look at. I look at

138
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:21,720
Speaker 1: the last offseason and this is how we did it.

139
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:23,800
Speaker 1: This week, a lot of people are going out and

140
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:26,120
Speaker 1: buying all kinds of crazy groceries that they don't need,

141
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:27,840
Speaker 1: are not gonna use, and they're all gonna go bad.

142
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:31,279
Speaker 1: Let's look back at the Giants off season grocery list

143
00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:34,240
Speaker 1: that we hyped for six months. Here we go Savontae Booker,

144
00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:36,640
Speaker 1: he started four games in place of sa Quon average

145
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:39,040
Speaker 1: less than four yards of carry. Kenny Galladay, a big

146
00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:41,560
Speaker 1: free agent signing, has missed three games, average forty six

147
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:44,360
Speaker 1: yards per game and has fewer touchdowns than the left

148
00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:48,240
Speaker 1: tackle of the team. Kadarius Tony has more ejections than touchdowns.

149
00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:51,000
Speaker 1: Had an incredible hundred and ninety six yard performance and

150
00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:53,240
Speaker 1: it hasn't had more than forty yards since. John Ross

151
00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:55,760
Speaker 1: the Third hasn't caught a passing this week. Eight Kyle Rudolph,

152
00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:57,640
Speaker 1: We love him, great veteran. The average is about fourteen

153
00:06:57,680 --> 00:06:59,640
Speaker 1: yards a game. This is the groceries they bought. Dorry

154
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:02,800
Speaker 1: Jackson and Gary Jackson was on. It's just like this

155
00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:04,560
Speaker 1: is why we spent the office and being like this

156
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:06,800
Speaker 1: can work, they can rally by Daniel Jones. They went

157
00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:09,800
Speaker 1: and got they got the groceries aren't working. They're all rotten.

158
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:13,320
Speaker 1: They made bad choices and not just in them. I

159
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:14,880
Speaker 1: don't know if Sakon is a good choice. I don't know.

160
00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:16,320
Speaker 1: I Daniel Jones is good. There's a lot of bad

161
00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:18,400
Speaker 1: choices for no access to fall, you know what I'm saying.

162
00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:20,960
Speaker 1: They just feel like they're behind every other team that

163
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:23,360
Speaker 1: is built as a contender a little bit. And we

164
00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:26,160
Speaker 1: have so many sound bites that were inundated with day in,

165
00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:28,400
Speaker 1: day out, week in week out, year in year out.

166
00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:30,960
Speaker 1: But I'm very it's very rare that I'll like latch

167
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:33,120
Speaker 1: on to one. And that John Mara. It was John Mara.

168
00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:36,000
Speaker 1: It was after all of these free agent grocery shopping

169
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:38,520
Speaker 1: list acquisitions that they made. This was back on March

170
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:41,480
Speaker 1: thirty first, right after free agency, and he said, quote,

171
00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:44,400
Speaker 1: I'd be very disappointed if things don't turn around quickly.

172
00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:48,240
Speaker 1: I'm starting to get impatient. It's been a while. I'm

173
00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:50,600
Speaker 1: tired of explaining to fans at the end of every

174
00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:53,920
Speaker 1: season things are going, things are getting better, on the

175
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:56,560
Speaker 1: right track. You lose credibility with them. And at that

176
00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:59,440
Speaker 1: moment we were like, oh, like he means business. He

177
00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:03,120
Speaker 1: is uh simpatico with his fans and his fan base.

178
00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:05,480
Speaker 1: He understands, he is awareness of what's going on. So

179
00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:07,360
Speaker 1: I think we are at the point where the Giants

180
00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:09,560
Speaker 1: have to make some drastic changes and I would not

181
00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:12,320
Speaker 1: be surprised if those happened early. Which is tough, Okay

182
00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:17,800
Speaker 1: to your point, Like, there's nothing tougher than seeing John Marra,

183
00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:20,400
Speaker 1: seeing the maryor family, seeing the Tisch family in the

184
00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:22,680
Speaker 1: stadium after a loss and you walk by in the

185
00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:24,800
Speaker 1: hallway and they won't even look at you like they're

186
00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:28,200
Speaker 1: so they're red faced there like they were in placent

187
00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:32,320
Speaker 1: though I know something. They're turning around right now, right

188
00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:36,160
Speaker 1: and look, I feel like answer John's fan would look

189
00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:38,120
Speaker 1: at the Marras and say, hey, what about us. We're

190
00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:41,000
Speaker 1: paying tickets, We're the ones going, we're buying concessions. What

191
00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:44,000
Speaker 1: are you doing? Because I don't feel sympathy for John

192
00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:46,000
Speaker 1: Mara this morning. I feel sympathy for the fans that

193
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:48,520
Speaker 1: are paying money and watching this team every week and

194
00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:51,000
Speaker 1: all the John Marra's throwing garbage cans and worried about

195
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:54,080
Speaker 1: taunting kind of days. This team right here, this this

196
00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:56,560
Speaker 1: is what people live for their sundays. And I know

197
00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:59,160
Speaker 1: he feels it in Wellington, Mara and the family. It

198
00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:01,559
Speaker 1: all comes down. But like I don't think this morning

199
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:04,840
Speaker 1: anyone's crying for John Mara. I think John Mara has

200
00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:06,320
Speaker 1: got to figure out what he wants in his team

201
00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:09,120
Speaker 1: and deliver it to those fans. Yeah, my point wasn't

202
00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:11,480
Speaker 1: that John marat feel sorry for him, because look, nobody's

203
00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:14,839
Speaker 1: gonna feel sorry for them. My point was that he

204
00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:17,720
Speaker 1: feels it. And I think that this could signal some

205
00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:19,920
Speaker 1: action like we've seen them kind of. I mean, look,

206
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:22,680
Speaker 1: they've done it already, we recycled it, we've gone down

207
00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:24,800
Speaker 1: that way. But when you lose like that, and then

208
00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:27,520
Speaker 1: this weekend they're retiring stray Hand's jersey against the Eagles

209
00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:30,040
Speaker 1: at home. And let me just tell you, there's been

210
00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:32,880
Speaker 1: a lot of ceremonies this year, like Eli's jersey went in,

211
00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:35,680
Speaker 1: they had the Super Bowl forty six reunion team, and

212
00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:37,760
Speaker 1: you know, you know what, the owners are scared to

213
00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:39,920
Speaker 1: go out on the field because the boomers are gonna boom,

214
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:42,800
Speaker 1: and like that will force a call to action to

215
00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:45,199
Speaker 1: what you're saying. Yeah, Peter, you've said that Giants fans

216
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:47,080
Speaker 1: are sick of talking about that because embarrass fans are

217
00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:49,360
Speaker 1: sick of nineteen said. I think they're sick. I think

218
00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:51,800
Speaker 1: they're sick of the ceremonies, to be honest. I think

219
00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:53,559
Speaker 1: you know when you bring out the twenty eleven squad

220
00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:55,280
Speaker 1: and you're getting blown out in a game and you

221
00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:57,600
Speaker 1: bring out Eli's jersey and you lose to the Falcons.

222
00:09:57,880 --> 00:09:59,480
Speaker 1: If the Eagles come in and Eagles are right hot

223
00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:03,000
Speaker 1: and they blown that's the giant for we love straight hand,

224
00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:05,080
Speaker 1: but like really, like again, we were talking about the

225
00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:07,360
Speaker 1: yesterdays respectfully, maybe we should move to the next year.

226
00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:10,920
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell stray Fey, Fine, that's going to the space.

227
00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:15,960
Speaker 1: Is that right? Tomorrow's a block. Let's welcome in tom

228
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:18,680
Speaker 1: post there I mentioned the Bears and it's Bears Lions

229
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:21,560
Speaker 1: on Thanksgiving at four Field in Detroit. Do we know

230
00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:28,679
Speaker 1: who's playing quarterback for the Bears and for the Lions both? Okay,

231
00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:31,000
Speaker 1: it sounds like we'll be watching at least one backup

232
00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:34,599
Speaker 1: quarterback in that early game on Thanksgiving. Are Ian Rappaport

233
00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:38,480
Speaker 1: reported last night that Justin Fields is not expected to

234
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:41,240
Speaker 1: be ready to go after suffering a rib injury last weekend,

235
00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:44,280
Speaker 1: and that means Andy Dalton is in line to get

236
00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:46,760
Speaker 1: the start in this game against the Lions. Be Dalton's

237
00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:49,800
Speaker 1: second career Thanksgiving start following one last year with the

238
00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:53,600
Speaker 1: Cowboys when they got blown out by Washington. Unfortunate timing

239
00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:56,200
Speaker 1: here for a Bears team that's lost five games in

240
00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:59,160
Speaker 1: a row. Kalil Mack out for the season, Alan Robinson

241
00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:01,600
Speaker 1: has not been playing recently, and now no Fields who

242
00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:05,800
Speaker 1: was looking like an ascending player prior to his injury. Meanwhile,

243
00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:09,000
Speaker 1: Lions quarterback Jared Goff is feeling better. He took some

244
00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:12,560
Speaker 1: walk through reps on Monday. I am told there is

245
00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:15,840
Speaker 1: a chance that Goff starts if he is able to

246
00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:18,840
Speaker 1: throw the ball well today. They're going to continue to

247
00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:20,960
Speaker 1: evaluate him as he works his way back from that

248
00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:23,880
Speaker 1: oblique injury. There really was preventing him from being able

249
00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:26,560
Speaker 1: to throw naturally and throw with his core. If they

250
00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:28,760
Speaker 1: still don't feel like golf is there. It would be

251
00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:31,800
Speaker 1: Tim Boyle getting his second NFL start after throwing for

252
00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:35,200
Speaker 1: seventy seven yards in his first k That one has

253
00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:38,600
Speaker 1: a twelve thirty eastern kickoff. The turkey'll be in the oven.

254
00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:40,560
Speaker 1: All of that followed by, of course, the Raiders taking

255
00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:43,240
Speaker 1: on the Cowboys and Buffalo in New Orleans. Thank you

256
00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:47,720
Speaker 1: so much, appreciates you to Bills to get back on track.

257
00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:51,280
Speaker 1: Can they three group? Have we lost faith in? Then?

258
00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:55,480
Speaker 1: Tough last week eleven Scott Poey stopping by with his thoughts.

259
00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:04,160
Speaker 1: It's good morning football, it's Thanksgiving week. We are a family,

260
00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:07,040
Speaker 1: and now we're welcoming in one of our family members

261
00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:09,520
Speaker 1: on the show every Tuesday. He joins us. He is

262
00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:12,240
Speaker 1: the NFL network's front office analyst. He's got over twenty

263
00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:15,800
Speaker 1: six years of ent experience. He's got three Lombardi trophies

264
00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:18,560
Speaker 1: that are proudly displayed right behind us. Let's welcome in,

265
00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:23,679
Speaker 1: Scott Peo. Good morning, good morning. It's nice to have

266
00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:25,920
Speaker 1: these things back. I'm finally moved into my house again.

267
00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:28,840
Speaker 1: It's been a long haul. Good to have you back there.

268
00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:31,760
Speaker 1: All right, you're back. Let's talk about the roller coaster

269
00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:34,760
Speaker 1: that is the AFC East. A month ago everyone was

270
00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:37,080
Speaker 1: crowning the Bills their division champs. They're gonna win it again,

271
00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:39,680
Speaker 1: Patriots or two and four. But now New England if

272
00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:42,560
Speaker 1: the playoffs for today would be the AFC East champion.

273
00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:45,440
Speaker 1: We know you've got Patriots roots, but take us inside

274
00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:48,559
Speaker 1: the Bills facility. What conversations you think are being had

275
00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:50,720
Speaker 1: now that Oh my gosh, We're going into week twelve

276
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:53,680
Speaker 1: and we're not in first place. How do you stay

277
00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:57,479
Speaker 1: the course? Peter, I think that there is some frustration.

278
00:12:57,600 --> 00:12:59,480
Speaker 1: That's just a guess. I mean there has to be.

279
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:03,800
Speaker 1: But to me, I think Sean McDermott, who is tough, smart,

280
00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:07,880
Speaker 1: resilient and a really focused coach and person, I think

281
00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:09,400
Speaker 1: what he's saying to his team, Listen, we got a

282
00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:11,600
Speaker 1: short week. All that matters right now is the New

283
00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:15,280
Speaker 1: Orleans Saints. After this Saints game, we've got plenty of

284
00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:17,960
Speaker 1: time to prepare for the first game against New England

285
00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:21,400
Speaker 1: because they've actually got eleven days, not ten days, because

286
00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:25,040
Speaker 1: after the Thursday night Thanksgiving game, they play Monday night football.

287
00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:28,520
Speaker 1: So Sean right now has his team focused on Listen,

288
00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:31,160
Speaker 1: the Saints are the only thing that matters right now.

289
00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:34,640
Speaker 1: We lost to Jacksonville. Now, then this past week we

290
00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:37,600
Speaker 1: lost at home to Indianapolis two teams, so we probably

291
00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:40,680
Speaker 1: should have eaten. So right now we have to focus

292
00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:43,400
Speaker 1: on on business. We are not as good as people

293
00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:45,679
Speaker 1: are saying. As a focus on this week and then

294
00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:48,880
Speaker 1: we will take care of the Patriots preparation when we

295
00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:53,400
Speaker 1: have time to take care of the Protots preparation. Scott

296
00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:55,640
Speaker 1: Right now, one of the biggest buzzwars, and what we

297
00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:59,040
Speaker 1: do is hashtag identity. Teams either have it or they

298
00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:00,960
Speaker 1: don't this time of year, and if they don't, they're

299
00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:03,400
Speaker 1: desperately scrambling to get it. Who is a team eating

300
00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:06,120
Speaker 1: to look at the field right now, who knows exactly

301
00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:08,840
Speaker 1: who they are, who has that precious identity and is

302
00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:11,920
Speaker 1: getting business done? Kyle, I think the team that has

303
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:15,480
Speaker 1: started to establish their identity they truly believe in is

304
00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:18,560
Speaker 1: the Indianapolis Colts, and the identity that they've taken on,

305
00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:21,320
Speaker 1: in my opinion, is a team that knows who they

306
00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:24,120
Speaker 1: are and what they are, and what they've done is

307
00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:26,360
Speaker 1: taken on the identity of their head coach, where they

308
00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:29,000
Speaker 1: are smart and they are disciplined. I mean, if you

309
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:32,480
Speaker 1: look at their football team right now, they are third

310
00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:36,160
Speaker 1: in the league in penalties in the fewest penalties and

311
00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:40,960
Speaker 1: second in the NFL in penalty differential. They're also number

312
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:44,240
Speaker 1: one in the league in terms of turnover differential, So

313
00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:48,000
Speaker 1: they are playing smart football doing smart things. They also

314
00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:50,800
Speaker 1: know what the strengths and limitations of their quarterback, Carson

315
00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:54,480
Speaker 1: Wentz will be, and they give the ball to Jonathan Taylor,

316
00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:57,400
Speaker 1: who's the NFL's leading Russia by two hundred yards. They

317
00:14:57,600 --> 00:14:59,440
Speaker 1: know what they've got to do to win football games.

318
00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:03,280
Speaker 1: They're doing it outside and indoor team doing it outside

319
00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:07,120
Speaker 1: in Buffalo by giving Jonathan Taylor the football again, knowing

320
00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:11,520
Speaker 1: who they are and accentuating the positive and limiting the limitations.

321
00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:15,400
Speaker 1: Great point right there, the fact that an indoor team

322
00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:18,160
Speaker 1: going outside establishing their identity to run the football. I

323
00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:20,760
Speaker 1: love watching them behind that offensive line too. They kind

324
00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:22,800
Speaker 1: of look at all like the Patriots who just ran

325
00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:25,800
Speaker 1: the football against the Atlanta Falcons last week on Thursday Night.

326
00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:28,280
Speaker 1: But I want to talk about the Bucks, who we

327
00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:32,360
Speaker 1: watched last night take down my g men and look

328
00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:35,160
Speaker 1: they're coming off with two straight losses and feels a

329
00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:37,600
Speaker 1: lot like deja vu from last year. About the offense,

330
00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:40,480
Speaker 1: what is their identity this season? And do you think

331
00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:44,960
Speaker 1: that they're better this year than they were last year offensively? Sean,

332
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:47,640
Speaker 1: I don't think that they fully established our identity yet.

333
00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:50,880
Speaker 1: As Kyle said earlier, teams are needing to find out

334
00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:52,840
Speaker 1: what their identity is, and when we look at the

335
00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:55,960
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay Buccaneers, I'm not sure we know what they are.

336
00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:58,560
Speaker 1: I'm not fully sure they know what they are, but

337
00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:01,000
Speaker 1: we're not inside that building. One of the things that

338
00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:04,720
Speaker 1: they are and happen is a little bit too inconsistent.

339
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:07,320
Speaker 1: And you ask about where they were last year. This

340
00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:09,760
Speaker 1: is when they started to hit their groove last year.

341
00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:13,239
Speaker 1: But right now, you know, we've heard we've heard Bruce

342
00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:16,640
Speaker 1: arians talk a couple of times about his team's intelligence,

343
00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:19,840
Speaker 1: not doing smart things. And when you look at this team,

344
00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:23,080
Speaker 1: one of the shocking things is they're leading the entire

345
00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:26,600
Speaker 1: NFL into or they're on the opposite. They're the worst

346
00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:30,360
Speaker 1: in the NFL in terms of penalty differential, and what

347
00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:33,480
Speaker 1: that means is they're giving up two hundred and ninety

348
00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:37,400
Speaker 1: four total yards over the season in penalties in their games.

349
00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:41,000
Speaker 1: That is not championship football. So what they have is

350
00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:43,600
Speaker 1: an identity that is evolving. I still think they've had

351
00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:47,160
Speaker 1: too many injuries. There's been inconsistency with the roster on

352
00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:50,320
Speaker 1: game date. So right now is when they need to

353
00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:53,640
Speaker 1: really establish this identity. They have the firepower, they have,

354
00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:56,400
Speaker 1: the team, they have the players. Now they've just got

355
00:16:56,400 --> 00:17:01,200
Speaker 1: to play smarter football. They have to. Scott Pealley joining

356
00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:03,880
Speaker 1: us here ahead of Week twelve action I had three games.

357
00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:06,560
Speaker 1: On Thanksgiving, I was hanging out on NFL dot Com

358
00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:09,320
Speaker 1: as I often do, and I came across an article

359
00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:12,280
Speaker 1: that you, my friend, penned where you make the case

360
00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:16,400
Speaker 1: for Rodney Harrison and why he should be a Hall

361
00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:19,800
Speaker 1: of Famer. What do you think is the biggest reason

362
00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:23,600
Speaker 1: he deserves that gold jacket? Okay, The simple fact is

363
00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:25,520
Speaker 1: he was a great player and one of the most

364
00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:28,280
Speaker 1: dominant players of his era, and that is part of

365
00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:31,720
Speaker 1: what the requirements are for the National Football Leagues or

366
00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:34,480
Speaker 1: the Pro Football Hall of Fame. And to me, Rodney

367
00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:37,960
Speaker 1: Harrison was a versatile player. When the game was starting

368
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:40,760
Speaker 1: to change, he was one of the best versatile players,

369
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:43,280
Speaker 1: and he was again dominant in so many ways. He

370
00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:46,680
Speaker 1: was a tremendous splitzer. You know. In this article, I'll

371
00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:48,520
Speaker 1: talk about some of the things, and I'm going to

372
00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:51,120
Speaker 1: compare him to John Lynch, who was an absolute Hall

373
00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:53,600
Speaker 1: of Famer. And I compared he and John because they

374
00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:55,760
Speaker 1: played in the same era. And when you look at

375
00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:58,400
Speaker 1: the numbers. I'm not a huge analytics guy, but when

376
00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:00,639
Speaker 1: you look at the numbers, you will see the facts

377
00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:04,240
Speaker 1: as to why Rodney bloms in the Hall of Fame. However,

378
00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:07,560
Speaker 1: when you look at tape, you spend time around these teammates,

379
00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:10,520
Speaker 1: and you talk to the people that played against him,

380
00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:13,399
Speaker 1: that feared him and respected him, that you talked to

381
00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:16,400
Speaker 1: the teammates that played with him. He was a champions champion.

382
00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:19,800
Speaker 1: He still is a champions champion. And to me, one

383
00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:22,159
Speaker 1: of the simple things is Rodney Harrison was the first

384
00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:26,359
Speaker 1: ever thirty thirty player where he had thirty sacks and

385
00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:29,440
Speaker 1: thirty interceptions, the first player in NFL history to do it.

386
00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:31,440
Speaker 1: There's only been two players do it, the other one

387
00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:35,679
Speaker 1: being ray Lewis. Rodney, again, because of his aggressiveness and

388
00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:38,560
Speaker 1: some of his out of the line hits, I think

389
00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:41,320
Speaker 1: was looked at a little bit differently. But Rodney Harrison

390
00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:46,080
Speaker 1: is an absolute Hall of Fame player. All Right, Scott,

391
00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:47,639
Speaker 1: and you just made the case. A lot of the

392
00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:50,600
Speaker 1: voters are watching the show and will hopefully listen to

393
00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:53,359
Speaker 1: your words. Rodney Harrison a case for Kent and I

394
00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:55,920
Speaker 1: appreciate it, Scott, and we appreciate you. Have an awesome

395
00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:59,679
Speaker 1: Thanksgiving weekend and enjoy the games under that. I'm thankful

396
00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:05,800
Speaker 1: this you. I truly bean it. Thanks Thanksgiving. Killing off

397
00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:09,120
Speaker 1: the Taylor lawns or shoulder plenty pound his way across

398
00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:12,639
Speaker 1: the goal line. Tuner screened the left side. Johnson Taylor,

399
00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:14,679
Speaker 1: He's a the ten mix of bandmit. He's at the

400
00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:18,280
Speaker 1: five puck back cut down that one for twenty three

401
00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:22,240
Speaker 1: pants off the Johnson Taylor jump, the fire hold on

402
00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:25,040
Speaker 1: Taylor stalks out left, Fide cuts up with the pipe

403
00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:28,320
Speaker 1: step Marchers way did it again down? That's tick down

404
00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:31,400
Speaker 1: number four, jomp the Taylor stood up at the water

405
00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:36,760
Speaker 1: talk four five number five A performance for the agents.

406
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:42,680
Speaker 1: All right, time for a game of we interview out.

407
00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:45,639
Speaker 1: Here's how it works. We say a statement and then

408
00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:47,920
Speaker 1: we say whether we disagree with the statement or we

409
00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:50,200
Speaker 1: agree with the statement. And that was Jonathan Taylor. A

410
00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:54,119
Speaker 1: hundred and eighty five yards, five touchdowns, I think pretty

411
00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:57,120
Speaker 1: much in arguably the greatest player in football this past week.

412
00:19:57,640 --> 00:20:01,800
Speaker 1: He now leads the NFL eleven hundred rushing yards team

413
00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:05,639
Speaker 1: touchdowns already, that's receiving and rushing. He's running away with

414
00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:08,000
Speaker 1: the rushing title as Derrick Henry is on the men.

415
00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:11,280
Speaker 1: And yet we look at the league and it's who's

416
00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:13,600
Speaker 1: the MVPA. I don't know, So I posed this first

417
00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:17,520
Speaker 1: statement to you guys, Jonathan Taylor is the league's MVP

418
00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:21,640
Speaker 1: Most Valuable Player. Eleven weeks in to the twenty twenty

419
00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:24,040
Speaker 1: one season, are we interre out Sean. I love what

420
00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:25,800
Speaker 1: he's doing on the field, and as an all former

421
00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:28,280
Speaker 1: offensive lineman, any kind of running back can just do

422
00:20:28,520 --> 00:20:31,359
Speaker 1: that to defense is gut them right up the middle.

423
00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:34,560
Speaker 1: It's phenomenal. But I'm gonna go a different direction here.

424
00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:36,560
Speaker 1: I love that we're not talking about quarterbacks here for

425
00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:38,399
Speaker 1: the MVP, but I'm gonna go with the guy who

426
00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:42,159
Speaker 1: didn't even play last week, Cooper Cup. Cooper Cup for

427
00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:45,080
Speaker 1: MVP right now. Look, Jonathan Taylor is the hot you know,

428
00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:47,439
Speaker 1: he's the hot commodity right now because he played Cooper

429
00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:50,119
Speaker 1: Cooper Cup was taking a nap this past week. I

430
00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:53,240
Speaker 1: guess what. He still leads the league in receptions, still

431
00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:55,840
Speaker 1: leads the league in receiving yards, still leads the league

432
00:20:56,160 --> 00:21:00,800
Speaker 1: in receiving touchdowns. Cooper Cup right now is my MBA MVP.

433
00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:03,040
Speaker 1: MBBA did vote right now the best player? If about

434
00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:05,680
Speaker 1: they're saying Cooper Cup, he is doing something no player

435
00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:08,320
Speaker 1: has ever done in the history of the game. In

436
00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:10,919
Speaker 1: NFL history, think about all the receivers that have gone

437
00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:15,080
Speaker 1: out there. No player has ever had eighty plus catches,

438
00:21:15,119 --> 00:21:17,720
Speaker 1: over a thousand yards and ten touchdowns in the first

439
00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:22,119
Speaker 1: ten gamesper cup. Look at that ten there is you

440
00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:25,680
Speaker 1: make a good case for the wide receiver. I think, yeah,

441
00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:28,080
Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor has a legitimate shot. And it's not just

442
00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:30,280
Speaker 1: a fever dream this year, because it's a quarterbacks award.

443
00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:32,280
Speaker 1: We all know that. And the only argument that I'm

444
00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:36,080
Speaker 1: hearing this even close to compelling against Jonathan Taylor is

445
00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:38,320
Speaker 1: that if you didn't give it to Derrick Henry last year,

446
00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:40,719
Speaker 1: you can't give it to Jonathan Taylor this year. Well,

447
00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:42,879
Speaker 1: last year, my friends, a man named Aaron Rodgers was

448
00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:44,439
Speaker 1: lighting the world on fire. And you can definitely make

449
00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:46,840
Speaker 1: an Aaron Rodgers case this year. He has good numbers.

450
00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:50,080
Speaker 1: But it's not about Jonathan Taylor versus Derrick Henry. It's

451
00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:52,639
Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor versus the twenty twenty one field. In the

452
00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:55,320
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one field does not have a quarterback, at

453
00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:58,280
Speaker 1: least in my eyes, Peter that wants to win this award.

454
00:21:58,520 --> 00:22:01,520
Speaker 1: There's no quarterback separating sell from the pack. So I

455
00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:03,159
Speaker 1: don't know Taylor has a shot because none of the

456
00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:05,639
Speaker 1: quarterbacks are having a scorched earth type of year like

457
00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:07,240
Speaker 1: Rodgers had last year, and I kind of like it

458
00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:10,120
Speaker 1: right in. Damn, yeah, I said, as I was start

459
00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:13,080
Speaker 1: in my argument. Yeah, bit, all right, I'm way out,

460
00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:15,800
Speaker 1: way out. I can't. I just can't give it to

461
00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:17,640
Speaker 1: the running back on the ninth best team in the ASH,

462
00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:20,120
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Like they're the ninth best team.

463
00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:22,560
Speaker 1: He's a great player, great stats and everything like that,

464
00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:24,639
Speaker 1: but it just doesn't sit right with me. It doesn't.

465
00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:26,960
Speaker 1: And I agree with Kay in the sense that, like

466
00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:29,720
Speaker 1: we can start striking him down. It's not Kyler, it's

467
00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:32,800
Speaker 1: not Josh Allen, it's not Dak, it's not Lamar. The

468
00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:34,919
Speaker 1: crazy thing is that, even with all he's been through,

469
00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:37,159
Speaker 1: even missing a game, I still think Rogers is in

470
00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:39,760
Speaker 1: the mix, like Rogers is putting up VP numbers, and

471
00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:41,720
Speaker 1: I still think it's Brady. I would give it to Brady.

472
00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:43,800
Speaker 1: I really default, or you feel like Brady's the best

473
00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:45,440
Speaker 1: player in football this time to buy the fall like

474
00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:47,199
Speaker 1: That's why this is a great question. I think it's

475
00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:49,399
Speaker 1: impossible to answer. I really do. I don't feel good

476
00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:51,040
Speaker 1: giving it to Taylor. I kind of give to Brady

477
00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:54,280
Speaker 1: by default. We need two thousand yards. We need a

478
00:22:54,359 --> 00:22:57,040
Speaker 1: thirteen and three season, like we need something really special

479
00:22:57,080 --> 00:22:58,479
Speaker 1: to give it to a running back who has much

480
00:22:58,520 --> 00:22:59,720
Speaker 1: less to do with the team than the quarterback. I

481
00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:02,040
Speaker 1: think I'm out. Yeah, And it's a great question because

482
00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:04,000
Speaker 1: to your point, k Josh Allen was supposed to be

483
00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:05,760
Speaker 1: the guy too many of these games where it's down

484
00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:08,600
Speaker 1: and then it was like, all right, Mahomes, Mahomes is winning,

485
00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:10,800
Speaker 1: but they're winning nineteen to nine. It's not like, Hey,

486
00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:13,520
Speaker 1: Mahomes is the reason. Cooper Cup is an interesting one.

487
00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:15,639
Speaker 1: I kind of scoffed at it at first, but in

488
00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:17,639
Speaker 1: this hey, what we're trying to I just don't know

489
00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:19,320
Speaker 1: if he's the best wide receiver in the sport. Do

490
00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:20,920
Speaker 1: you even think he's the best of his position, John,

491
00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:23,560
Speaker 1: it's a great question. I think when you look at

492
00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:27,199
Speaker 1: him in that offense, yeah, I think for what they

493
00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:30,120
Speaker 1: do and how he fits into it, Yeah, it's phenomenal.

494
00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:31,760
Speaker 1: Now you're gonna put him on the outside and ask

495
00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:34,359
Speaker 1: him to do something different. I mean, that's a totally

496
00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:37,760
Speaker 1: different ball game. But I like what Cooper Cup brings.

497
00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:40,200
Speaker 1: I like the conversation about Brady, and I think that

498
00:23:40,359 --> 00:23:43,320
Speaker 1: what you're talking about with him being the best. We

499
00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:46,359
Speaker 1: have a different standard for Tom, like he's leading the

500
00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:48,680
Speaker 1: league right now in touchdowns. I mean, the guy's phenomenal

501
00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:50,879
Speaker 1: at home. We just kind of have a different parometer

502
00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:53,520
Speaker 1: with him. But the other guy you could really argue it,

503
00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:56,200
Speaker 1: and you mentioned him is Derrick Henry, like he might

504
00:23:56,280 --> 00:23:58,600
Speaker 1: be the MB this year is Yeah, look at what

505
00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:03,920
Speaker 1: the team that syntegrated without him, So technically that's one

506
00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:08,959
Speaker 1: fifteen with that paid man he mentioned the v king

507
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:11,719
Speaker 1: of der Kennedy playing, there's only has four picks this year.

508
00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:13,440
Speaker 1: You can definitely make the case. As I said, and

509
00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:15,960
Speaker 1: as you said for Rogers Brady too, I guess. But

510
00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:18,399
Speaker 1: does that juice anybody up this year? You know, I

511
00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:20,680
Speaker 1: don't know. There could be a wild one who comes running.

512
00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:23,119
Speaker 1: I know, but it might be Taylor. It might be Taylor,

513
00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:27,400
Speaker 1: it might be Kirk Cousins. Numbers are amazing, Like if

514
00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:29,959
Speaker 1: if Justin Herbert gets like this, it's wide open. If

515
00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:35,800
Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts gets seconds quart this year, she got to

516
00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:38,000
Speaker 1: have a winning record though, I would think so too. Yeah,

517
00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:40,320
Speaker 1: let's get to the second one, because the Vikings had

518
00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:43,479
Speaker 1: a wild, wild win and it's been a wild season

519
00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:45,959
Speaker 1: for the Vikings, up and down and up and down.

520
00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:47,840
Speaker 1: You want to talk about a moment that's on the

521
00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:50,040
Speaker 1: top part of the roller coaster, it was that victory

522
00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:53,600
Speaker 1: over the Packers. Vikings fans come out in droves and

523
00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:55,280
Speaker 1: they're like, we have just been through too much. We've

524
00:24:55,280 --> 00:24:57,720
Speaker 1: been through too much. Here are the worst Super Bowl

525
00:24:57,800 --> 00:24:59,720
Speaker 1: records of all time. And I only bring this up.

526
00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:02,880
Speaker 1: I don't want to go negative. This doesn't even include

527
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:06,080
Speaker 1: the Gary Anderson field goal. This doesn't include uh, you know,

528
00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:08,320
Speaker 1: Brett Farm They're a pick against the Saints in the

529
00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:11,320
Speaker 1: Superdome in an NC Championship game. My statement is this,

530
00:25:12,080 --> 00:25:15,120
Speaker 1: Vikings fans have been through more heartache than any other

531
00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:18,159
Speaker 1: fan base in football. Kyle, are we in or are

532
00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:21,879
Speaker 1: we out? I'm out, I'm out. It's how do you

533
00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:24,399
Speaker 1: like your pain? How do you want it? Is it

534
00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:26,840
Speaker 1: better to have loved and lost or to have never

535
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:30,200
Speaker 1: loved at all? The Minnesota Vikings have had some glorious moments,

536
00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:34,080
Speaker 1: a lot of playoff wins. The Minneapolis miracle alone should

537
00:25:34,119 --> 00:25:36,959
Speaker 1: satiate anybody in any fan base. Give me Detroit, Give

538
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:40,960
Speaker 1: me Detroit right now. Just a slow, dead burn of

539
00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:45,040
Speaker 1: teasing and misery. They haven't had that won a couple

540
00:25:45,040 --> 00:25:46,720
Speaker 1: of games. A question. Well, I put a date on

541
00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:49,919
Speaker 1: that footage because that's where they went on sixteen. Yeah,

542
00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:52,960
Speaker 1: you're right anything and this is incredibly negative, But I

543
00:25:53,040 --> 00:25:54,800
Speaker 1: just want to shout out to Detroit that we feel you,

544
00:25:55,240 --> 00:25:57,399
Speaker 1: we got you. You're probably in so you know how

545
00:25:57,480 --> 00:25:59,440
Speaker 1: badly they would love to have the Moss and Carter

546
00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:02,800
Speaker 1: and cunning year. They had Stafford and Megatron and great players,

547
00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:05,320
Speaker 1: and they still haven't done it. I think Detroit is

548
00:26:05,320 --> 00:26:07,760
Speaker 1: the worst because it's just this like just this flatline

549
00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:09,200
Speaker 1: as opposed to, oh my god, we're gonna do it,

550
00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:11,320
Speaker 1: and then the disappointment. But that might be more painful.

551
00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:15,040
Speaker 1: They lost four super Bowls, but you just showed us.

552
00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:18,320
Speaker 1: I can't you lose four super Bowls. By the way,

553
00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:22,520
Speaker 1: they lost six NFC Championship games, and you're saying not

554
00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:25,280
Speaker 1: even counting the Gary Anderson field goal was like that

555
00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:28,440
Speaker 1: canceled out any Minneapolis miracle. The Minneapolis miracle does not

556
00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:31,200
Speaker 1: elate anybody. It was a great moment that led to nothing.

557
00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:34,120
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with the Vikings here on this one,

558
00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:36,280
Speaker 1: because at least, you know, I was thinking the Saints

559
00:26:36,359 --> 00:26:38,159
Speaker 1: maybe on the other side of the Mini miracle. But

560
00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:40,480
Speaker 1: they at least have a ring to fall, they have

561
00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:43,040
Speaker 1: something they could say, at least we got one. I

562
00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:45,200
Speaker 1: don't know, all those years they had Chris Carter and

563
00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:47,080
Speaker 1: Randy Moss, were they not the best team in the

564
00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:49,359
Speaker 1: NFL for so many of those years, so many of

565
00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:51,679
Speaker 1: those weeks in and out, and they couldn't get anything

566
00:26:51,760 --> 00:26:54,600
Speaker 1: done there That tortured fan base. And I feel for you.

567
00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:58,280
Speaker 1: Heartache is always something different to define. For Detroit, it's

568
00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:00,600
Speaker 1: almost like, you know, here we go again. And I

569
00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:02,840
Speaker 1: think for heart ache, sometimes it's when your team gets

570
00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:05,919
Speaker 1: so close and you're right there and you can smell

571
00:27:06,119 --> 00:27:08,560
Speaker 1: and see the postseason, you can see the super Bowl,

572
00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:10,720
Speaker 1: and then it gets ripped from your grasp. So I'm

573
00:27:10,720 --> 00:27:14,320
Speaker 1: gonna go with the Saints. You mentioned the Minnesota Miracle.

574
00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:19,280
Speaker 1: Take us back to the Minnesota Vikings. Seven heads right here,

575
00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:21,880
Speaker 1: case Keenum. I mean, look, everybody's thinking a Drew Brees

576
00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:23,560
Speaker 1: and the Saints they're gonna go back to the super Bowl,

577
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:26,600
Speaker 1: and then this happens the road game. Sean really like

578
00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:29,000
Speaker 1: Stefon Diggs. Yeah, I mean, if you're if you're the

579
00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:31,760
Speaker 1: Saints fans right here, this is this is the playoff game,

580
00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:36,440
Speaker 1: this is the Browns. Yes, but this is hard. I'm

581
00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:38,880
Speaker 1: just talking on most recently here, the heartache, the fact

582
00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:42,600
Speaker 1: that that from your grass in twenty seventeen, it's like,

583
00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:45,119
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, Marcus Blames, Okay, all right, you know

584
00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:48,480
Speaker 1: what we're gonna get him next year? Well, you know

585
00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:51,480
Speaker 1: what happens the next year? Not good? This happens the

586
00:27:51,560 --> 00:27:55,560
Speaker 1: next year. The Saints fans Nickel Robie Coleman with the

587
00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:59,760
Speaker 1: non pi and if you're Drew Brees, you're like, oh my,

588
00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:01,960
Speaker 1: in this, I don't know how many more years I

589
00:28:02,040 --> 00:28:04,200
Speaker 1: got in me and the whole team kind of knows that.

590
00:28:04,600 --> 00:28:07,000
Speaker 1: You know, you're watching your your Hall of Fame league.

591
00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:09,760
Speaker 1: This changed the NFL. They changed the entire rule and

592
00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:11,800
Speaker 1: the fact that you could replay it. Because of this,

593
00:28:12,440 --> 00:28:14,240
Speaker 1: Saints fans, you had no doubt about it. Didn't show

594
00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:16,719
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins ripping their heart out the following year, right,

595
00:28:16,760 --> 00:28:19,440
Speaker 1: It's year after year, and then last year they're up

596
00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:22,920
Speaker 1: and Jared Cook fumbles and then the Buccaneers go on

597
00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:26,439
Speaker 1: their rights. Saints fans have been They've had a permanent

598
00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:30,040
Speaker 1: seat at the Absent House on Bourbon Street. Racing. No

599
00:28:30,160 --> 00:28:32,440
Speaker 1: mention of the Buffalo Bills four Super Bowls in a

600
00:28:32,560 --> 00:28:35,560
Speaker 1: row and haven't won one. They won four title games.

601
00:28:35,640 --> 00:28:37,840
Speaker 1: Those are great days of sports fan. That's good. It's

602
00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:40,600
Speaker 1: tough take. What do you think? What's your's your take Minnesota? No,

603
00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:43,600
Speaker 1: my takes. The Jets fans, it's really they won one

604
00:28:43,640 --> 00:28:45,600
Speaker 1: at sixty nine. No one who is watching this show

605
00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:48,840
Speaker 1: was like an adult when that happened, Like it's a whole.

606
00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:52,240
Speaker 1: They've lost three generation, couple of title games. Not bad. Yeah,

607
00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:56,440
Speaker 1: Melissa's rocket her jets on our producer die hard Jet fans.

608
00:28:56,480 --> 00:28:58,120
Speaker 1: She goes to these games. I'm like, you go to

609
00:28:58,200 --> 00:29:02,040
Speaker 1: the games. It's like you're going to jail. You're gonna

610
00:29:02,040 --> 00:29:06,600
Speaker 1: say no to that. Com Elijah More all right. At

611
00:29:06,680 --> 00:29:08,640
Speaker 1: least twice a year we hang out with our next guest,

612
00:29:08,680 --> 00:29:11,280
Speaker 1: who is an IVY League graduated. He did a fantastic

613
00:29:11,320 --> 00:29:13,280
Speaker 1: advice and it's why we keep welcoming him back as

614
00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:17,480

619
00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:37,360
Speaker 1: to understand, probably not so much. Your family recently welcomed

Speaker 1: a second kiddo into the world. Cope, congratulations Braylan Miles Copeland.

621
00:29:43,160 --> 00:29:46,360
Speaker 1: He was born exactly two weeks ago. Oh my god. Yeah,

622
00:29:46,840 --> 00:29:51,240
Speaker 1: what an absolute angel. I love it. How's the new addition?

623
00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:55,720
Speaker 1: He is awesome? He is awesome. Yeah, it's you know,

624
00:29:55,800 --> 00:29:59,280
Speaker 1: I gotta shout out my wife, Taylor. She's taken on

625
00:29:59,440 --> 00:30:02,880
Speaker 1: the you know, the lion's share of the responsibilities with

626
00:30:03,480 --> 00:30:06,440
Speaker 1: baby Braylan. You know, we had the baby on Tuesday.

627
00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:09,360
Speaker 1: I was doing my best job being a coach, holding

628
00:30:09,400 --> 00:30:11,600
Speaker 1: that hand, you know, telling her to push, baby push,

629
00:30:11,720 --> 00:30:14,080
Speaker 1: you know, and then we had an away game on

630
00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:16,400
Speaker 1: Sunday and in a Thursday night game. So it's just

631
00:30:16,520 --> 00:30:18,239
Speaker 1: been you know, a lot, a lot of on us

632
00:30:18,280 --> 00:30:20,320
Speaker 1: in the family. But it's been a blessing, you know,

633
00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:25,320
Speaker 1: nothing short of a blessing. So we're excited, it seems excited.

634
00:30:25,320 --> 00:30:28,000
Speaker 1: We're excited for you too, especially since this thing is

635
00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:31,000
Speaker 1: fully generational. Now we have a full appreciation you're on

636
00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:33,360
Speaker 1: the show, as you know, for the retro NFL dude.

637
00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:37,560
Speaker 1: Back in the seventies, your grandfather, Roy Hilton, also played

638
00:30:37,680 --> 00:30:40,000
Speaker 1: defense for the Falcons. This is really cool. You're in

639
00:30:40,040 --> 00:30:42,479
Speaker 1: your first season with Atlanta, but here's the retro footas.

640
00:30:42,520 --> 00:30:44,240
Speaker 1: What does it mean to look at this and following

641
00:30:44,280 --> 00:30:48,680
Speaker 1: your grandfather's footsteps. Wow, first and foremost, this first time

642
00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:53,520
Speaker 1: I'm seeing this film myself, so you know that almost

643
00:30:53,600 --> 00:30:55,960
Speaker 1: brings here to my eye right here, So I look

644
00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:59,080
Speaker 1: at this man making plays, I see you, granddad, to

645
00:30:59,120 --> 00:31:01,360
Speaker 1: get out here. It's a plays, That's what I'm saying.

646
00:31:01,400 --> 00:31:04,680
Speaker 1: But you know, to answer a question, it's it's an

647
00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:08,920
Speaker 1: amazing feeling. I mean, they have a beautiful wall in

648
00:31:09,160 --> 00:31:11,760
Speaker 1: the Falcons facility that has the names of every player

649
00:31:11,880 --> 00:31:15,440
Speaker 1: that's ever played for the Falcons and put on this uniform,

650
00:31:15,520 --> 00:31:18,280
Speaker 1: and obviously being able to walk past my grandfather's name

651
00:31:18,360 --> 00:31:22,160
Speaker 1: every day, it's not just another form of motivation, but

652
00:31:22,240 --> 00:31:25,440
Speaker 1: it's also you know, unfortunately my grandfather passed away in

653
00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:29,640
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen, but it's a reminder that he's obviously here

654
00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:31,280
Speaker 1: with me. So you know, every time I go on

655
00:31:31,320 --> 00:31:33,040
Speaker 1: the field, my wife sends me a prayer. A lot

656
00:31:33,080 --> 00:31:35,320
Speaker 1: of times it has in there. You know Granddad be

657
00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:38,600
Speaker 1: with him on the field today. So being a spiritual person,

658
00:31:38,880 --> 00:31:43,560
Speaker 1: I really, I really am am blessed to be able

659
00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:45,520
Speaker 1: to put on the same jersey and walk the same

660
00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:49,920
Speaker 1: you know, just land that my grandfather had an opportunity

661
00:31:49,960 --> 00:31:53,200
Speaker 1: to walk when when he was my age. So again

662
00:31:53,280 --> 00:31:55,120
Speaker 1: nothing short of a blessing. But again I need to

663
00:31:55,320 --> 00:31:57,040
Speaker 1: get out there and make some plays like that, because

664
00:31:57,280 --> 00:32:01,440
Speaker 1: you know Granddad was putting in that work. But Granddad

665
00:32:01,560 --> 00:32:03,640
Speaker 1: was an awesome player and obviously an amazing man. He'd

666
00:32:03,640 --> 00:32:05,480
Speaker 1: be so proud to watch you play for the Falcons

667
00:32:05,560 --> 00:32:08,280
Speaker 1: right now. And that was footing to him sacking Steve Spurrier.

668
00:32:08,720 --> 00:32:10,840
Speaker 1: That was pretty cool. Spurrier was with the forty nine ers,

669
00:32:10,880 --> 00:32:13,040
Speaker 1: so it's neat for us to watch it as well. Um,

670
00:32:13,320 --> 00:32:16,440
Speaker 1: you guys have a pretty good quarterback coming in next

671
00:32:16,480 --> 00:32:19,480
Speaker 1: week and it's the number one overall pick, Trevor Lawrence.

672
00:32:20,160 --> 00:32:22,640
Speaker 1: What does your defense have in store for the Jaguars

673
00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:24,680
Speaker 1: young signal color? And will you be tossing him around

674
00:32:24,960 --> 00:32:27,960
Speaker 1: like another Heisman winner Steve Spurrier was tossed around by

675
00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:33,040
Speaker 1: your grandfather. That's always the plan. I mean for me personally,

676
00:32:33,200 --> 00:32:35,240
Speaker 1: you know, I don't go on the field and you know,

677
00:32:35,920 --> 00:32:39,360
Speaker 1: looking to not be as violent and impose my will.

678
00:32:39,440 --> 00:32:42,960
Speaker 1: But um, you know, obviously Trevor Lawrence is a remarkable

679
00:32:43,600 --> 00:32:47,080
Speaker 1: young player. Clearly he's been that way since you know,

680
00:32:47,280 --> 00:32:50,360
Speaker 1: he started touching the football. So it's going to be

681
00:32:50,800 --> 00:32:53,280
Speaker 1: a task for us as a defense to contain them

682
00:32:53,480 --> 00:32:55,640
Speaker 1: and limit them. You know, with great players like that,

683
00:32:55,880 --> 00:32:58,240
Speaker 1: you you know that they're going to make plays. You

684
00:32:58,360 --> 00:33:00,320
Speaker 1: just have to be able to weather the store and

685
00:33:00,600 --> 00:33:02,760
Speaker 1: also throw your shots in there and get your punches

686
00:33:02,760 --> 00:33:05,800
Speaker 1: in when you can. So you know, I'm excited to

687
00:33:06,400 --> 00:33:08,840
Speaker 1: continue to try to not only game plan for him,

688
00:33:08,880 --> 00:33:10,840
Speaker 1: but the other weapons that they have on that team,

689
00:33:10,920 --> 00:33:14,200
Speaker 1: because you know they're starting to Gael for sure. So

690
00:33:16,760 --> 00:33:19,840
Speaker 1: thanksgiving us a great get Brannon, and certainly a lot

691
00:33:19,880 --> 00:33:23,120
Speaker 1: to be thankful for. Congratulations on your second child and

692
00:33:23,360 --> 00:33:26,920
Speaker 1: having healthy children as certainly a blessing. But you're not

693
00:33:27,120 --> 00:33:31,000
Speaker 1: stopping there on this week of Thanksgiving. You're giving back

694
00:33:31,440 --> 00:33:35,000
Speaker 1: through your foundation beyond the basics. Talk to us about

695
00:33:35,040 --> 00:33:36,800
Speaker 1: what you're doing. And it sounds like you did something

696
00:33:36,920 --> 00:33:40,280
Speaker 1: last night. So you're not sleeping when you're not watching film,

697
00:33:40,440 --> 00:33:44,320
Speaker 1: you're doing charitable things. Tell us more about your Foundation. Yeah,

698
00:33:44,480 --> 00:33:48,040
Speaker 1: So Beyond the Basics INC Is a foundation my wife

699
00:33:48,040 --> 00:33:52,440
Speaker 1: and I started a few years ago. We literally try

700
00:33:52,480 --> 00:33:55,240
Speaker 1: to embody the name beyond the basic meaning. You know,

701
00:33:55,320 --> 00:33:57,440
Speaker 1: I know, obviously a lot of NFL players we grow

702
00:33:57,560 --> 00:33:59,960
Speaker 1: up and we want to do good things in the community.

703
00:34:00,240 --> 00:34:03,000
Speaker 1: But you know, for some of us, um, you know,

704
00:34:03,160 --> 00:34:06,840
Speaker 1: it's it's it's not simple, but it's just you know,

705
00:34:06,960 --> 00:34:08,520
Speaker 1: we try to find ways to kind of go a

706
00:34:08,600 --> 00:34:12,040
Speaker 1: little bit above and beyond. Right, Clearly the name slens

707
00:34:12,120 --> 00:34:15,800
Speaker 1: itself to that. So, um, last night, myself, Mike Davis,

708
00:34:16,160 --> 00:34:19,880
Speaker 1: John Komensky, Mike Vanellum, the Falcons, and Publics we all

709
00:34:19,960 --> 00:34:23,240
Speaker 1: partnered up and went to a public's here in Atlanta

710
00:34:23,760 --> 00:34:28,120
Speaker 1: underserved community and literally paid for groceries for two hours straight,

711
00:34:28,239 --> 00:34:30,600
Speaker 1: about twenty two thousand dollars worth. Well, it was twenty

712
00:34:30,640 --> 00:34:34,720
Speaker 1: two thousand dollars worth of groceries, and um, it was amazing.

713
00:34:34,760 --> 00:34:38,200
Speaker 1: I mean one, it's to be honest with you, personal

714
00:34:38,480 --> 00:34:41,320
Speaker 1: bucket list EO. Thing we've done in multiple times just

715
00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:44,799
Speaker 1: going into stores and just paid for everyone's stuff, which

716
00:34:44,840 --> 00:34:47,560
Speaker 1: has been awesome. Usually do it around um, you know,

717
00:34:47,680 --> 00:34:50,480
Speaker 1: the December month and the holidays and stuff like that,

718
00:34:50,600 --> 00:34:52,680
Speaker 1: but um, it was pretty cool because a lot of

719
00:34:52,719 --> 00:34:55,200
Speaker 1: people obviously are you know, we're still in the middle

720
00:34:55,200 --> 00:34:59,360
Speaker 1: of a pandemic, you know, and people, you know, I

721
00:34:59,480 --> 00:35:03,160
Speaker 1: think a lot of people get shocked when they come

722
00:35:03,239 --> 00:35:05,719
Speaker 1: up to the register and they are kind of looking

723
00:35:05,760 --> 00:35:07,240
Speaker 1: at you like what do you what are you about

724
00:35:07,239 --> 00:35:09,160
Speaker 1: to do? You know, and then you swap that car

725
00:35:09,239 --> 00:35:11,759
Speaker 1: form and a lot of them are really like in

726
00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:16,120
Speaker 1: awe or really shocked that somebody is taking the time

727
00:35:16,200 --> 00:35:18,600
Speaker 1: to think about them and that people are still doing

728
00:35:18,680 --> 00:35:20,840
Speaker 1: nice things in this world. So I think that you know,

729
00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:22,720
Speaker 1: we're trying to do we call it be a blessing

730
00:35:22,760 --> 00:35:24,719
Speaker 1: because we just want to encourage people, even though that

731
00:35:24,960 --> 00:35:29,160
Speaker 1: can afford their meal, to just want to be able

732
00:35:29,200 --> 00:35:31,440
Speaker 1: to put a smile on someone else's face. So hopefully

733
00:35:31,520 --> 00:35:34,400
Speaker 1: we can try to build that momentum. And again, you know,

734
00:35:34,520 --> 00:35:36,759
Speaker 1: this world isn't perfect, but we're trying to do our

735
00:35:36,840 --> 00:35:40,360
Speaker 1: part and creating lots of good energy by doing that.

736
00:35:40,560 --> 00:35:43,920
Speaker 1: Very thoughtful of you, Brandon. You also somehow have carved

737
00:35:43,960 --> 00:35:46,160
Speaker 1: out some time to have a new podcast. It's called

738
00:35:46,280 --> 00:35:48,960
Speaker 1: Money Music Culture. We can see it behind you. What

739
00:35:49,160 --> 00:35:50,560
Speaker 1: is the goal of the podcast and what do you

740
00:35:50,640 --> 00:35:54,799
Speaker 1: hope it accomplishes. Yeah, So Money Music Culture shout out

741
00:35:54,800 --> 00:35:57,799
Speaker 1: to my guy, Ross Mack and my whole team Life

742
00:35:57,800 --> 00:36:01,239
Speaker 1: one on one, Eating Wide and Chad. We we are

743
00:36:01,400 --> 00:36:04,560
Speaker 1: trying to find different ways to continue to talk to

744
00:36:04,600 --> 00:36:08,560
Speaker 1: people about money. I mean, unfortunately, you know, I've done

745
00:36:08,600 --> 00:36:10,440
Speaker 1: the class at PEN and we're still doing the class

746
00:36:10,440 --> 00:36:13,200
Speaker 1: at PEN. We've actually recently with the meal right here

747
00:36:13,239 --> 00:36:15,640
Speaker 1: on my shirt, we recently rolled out our class to

748
00:36:15,760 --> 00:36:19,560
Speaker 1: high school students for credit right, And ultimately it's kind

749
00:36:19,560 --> 00:36:22,720
Speaker 1: of you know, there's some lessons when I'm talking about

750
00:36:22,800 --> 00:36:26,400
Speaker 1: banking interest rates and things like that. We're to be

751
00:36:26,480 --> 00:36:28,320
Speaker 1: honest with you, even as the professor of my eyes

752
00:36:28,440 --> 00:36:30,560
Speaker 1: are peeling over. So we were trying to find more

753
00:36:30,640 --> 00:36:33,400
Speaker 1: creative ways to talk to people about money, and what

754
00:36:33,600 --> 00:36:36,280
Speaker 1: better way to do that than through the universal language

755
00:36:36,280 --> 00:36:39,600
Speaker 1: of music. So Ross and I we literally sit down

756
00:36:39,680 --> 00:36:41,680
Speaker 1: and listen to some of your favorite songs, some of

757
00:36:41,760 --> 00:36:44,800
Speaker 1: the you know, the Megos, Nipsey Hustle and jay Z

758
00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:46,759
Speaker 1: and we literally listened to some of the songs and

759
00:36:46,840 --> 00:36:48,320
Speaker 1: some of the lyrics that they're saying, and then we

760
00:36:48,400 --> 00:36:53,040
Speaker 1: actually deliver a financial education lesson on that lyric. So

761
00:36:53,239 --> 00:36:56,480
Speaker 1: when Beyonce is talking about pay me in equity, right, Well,

762
00:36:56,719 --> 00:36:59,000
Speaker 1: not too many people noticed she went to Uber and

763
00:36:59,120 --> 00:37:02,360
Speaker 1: instead of getting paid six million dollars to perform, she

764
00:37:02,520 --> 00:37:04,440
Speaker 1: decided to take all that in equity and when the

765
00:37:04,520 --> 00:37:07,399
Speaker 1: stock went public, she made a lot more than six

766
00:37:07,480 --> 00:37:09,960
Speaker 1: million dollars. So it's just trying to get people to

767
00:37:10,160 --> 00:37:13,560
Speaker 1: understand think differently, but also do it in a creative way,

768
00:37:13,640 --> 00:37:16,000
Speaker 1: so we literally have fun. It's therapy for me because

769
00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:18,040
Speaker 1: I like listening to music too, So we need to

770
00:37:18,080 --> 00:37:19,960
Speaker 1: get all of y'all on too. Come on, his guest.

771
00:37:22,680 --> 00:37:25,600
Speaker 1: I love this money music culture. I'm sure you can

772
00:37:25,640 --> 00:37:30,200
Speaker 1: get it wherever you download. I love you, Brandon, thank

00:37:50,400 --> 00:37:53,240
Speaker 1: everybody we need in this locker room. Experience the NFL

778
00:37:53,880 --> 00:38:03,080

779
00:38:03,120 --> 00:38:20,080
Speaker 1: lot of pressure. Boo boooopoo. How well is this lining up?

780

Speaker 1: I gotta watch that this week. And it's also got

786
00:38:34,239 --> 00:38:37,000
Speaker 1: to check out the power rankings by Dan hands Us

787
00:38:37,000 --> 00:38:39,600
Speaker 1: ahead of Week twelve. For reasons that are almost inexplicable.

788
00:38:39,600 --> 00:38:42,280
Speaker 1: We started talking about seventies radio hot soupy sales earlier

789
00:38:42,320 --> 00:38:43,840
Speaker 1: in the show, so we're gonna do this with the

790
00:38:43,920 --> 00:38:46,680
Speaker 1: category of soups right now. Let's get to the French

791
00:38:46,760 --> 00:38:51,040
Speaker 1: Onion Division, polarizing soup not for everybody but the Droit

792
00:38:51,120 --> 00:38:52,960
Speaker 1: Lions down there at thirty two. We'll see a Thursday

793
00:38:53,080 --> 00:38:55,640
Speaker 1: New York Jets, a thirty one Bears, twenty seven, see

794
00:38:55,640 --> 00:38:58,360
Speaker 1: a Thursday Giants. This is not a fun division to

795
00:38:58,440 --> 00:39:00,279
Speaker 1: be in. So let's move on to the you. We're

796
00:39:00,280 --> 00:39:02,120
Speaker 1: gonna see the ironic pub that says soup of the

797
00:39:02,200 --> 00:39:06,560
Speaker 1: day whiskey. We'll do that division. Eagles seventeen, eighteen Saints,

798
00:39:06,640 --> 00:39:11,760
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh Steelers nineteen in the league, twenty Carolina Panthers, Washington

799
00:39:11,840 --> 00:39:16,040
Speaker 1: Vegas Raiders, and Broncos Dolphins. Moving on to the Matso

800
00:39:16,160 --> 00:39:19,080
Speaker 1: Bald division. My daughter's favorite food. We love going to

801
00:39:19,120 --> 00:39:21,279
Speaker 1: the Delhi she crushes it. Evelyn loves the matzo balls.

802
00:39:21,320 --> 00:39:23,960
Speaker 1: She does On the left, The Rams and Vikings round

803
00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:28,160
Speaker 1: out the top ten. Chargers, Coats, Ravens, Brown's still hanging

804
00:39:28,239 --> 00:39:30,880
Speaker 1: in there, Bengals off a win, Nighters, don't let him

805
00:39:30,880 --> 00:39:32,680
Speaker 1: get hot too late. And as we move on to

806
00:39:32,880 --> 00:39:36,279
Speaker 1: the Talk Soup division, why not the soup? Our friend

807
00:39:36,360 --> 00:39:38,680
Speaker 1: Joe McHale fan of the show. All right, Dan has

808
00:39:38,719 --> 00:39:40,560
Speaker 1: us an opera left. She has the Cardinals as the

809
00:39:40,600 --> 00:39:43,480
Speaker 1: best team in football, going closely by a team that

810
00:39:43,520 --> 00:39:45,759
Speaker 1: they lost to. This is so fun. The Packers, then

811
00:39:45,840 --> 00:39:50,359
Speaker 1: last night's Bucks Jeeves creeping up to four Cowboys. They

812
00:39:50,400 --> 00:39:52,920
Speaker 1: put up the nine points, they're still at five. Patriots, Oh,

813
00:39:52,960 --> 00:39:56,279
Speaker 1: Patriots six tasty builds off a beatdown. Where are the

814
00:39:56,280 --> 00:39:59,359
Speaker 1: Colts on? And then the Titans. As Dan always says,

815
00:39:59,400 --> 00:40:03,200
Speaker 1: it's not power standings, it's power rankings. We use his words.

816
00:40:03,440 --> 00:40:04,960
Speaker 1: Let's see that beautiful face. Let's bring him in. The

817
00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:08,160
Speaker 1: man behind the power, Dan hansskid morning Dan very good,

818
00:40:08,200 --> 00:40:09,960
Speaker 1: and I like the Talk Super Reference. I would have

819
00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:12,520
Speaker 1: went with a John Henson era of the early nineties.

820
00:40:12,600 --> 00:40:16,920
Speaker 1: But that's yeah, Raisha, can hear whoever you want. We

821
00:40:17,040 --> 00:40:18,640
Speaker 1: have to start off, though, with one of the most

822
00:40:18,840 --> 00:40:22,000
Speaker 1: punishing losses of the week, nay of this season. The

823
00:40:22,160 --> 00:40:25,680
Speaker 1: Bills lost to the Cultures brutal Dan and yet we're

824
00:40:25,760 --> 00:40:28,120
Speaker 1: looking at your rankings, they've only fallen from the fifth

825
00:40:28,200 --> 00:40:32,480
Speaker 1: spot to the seventh spot. Care to explain your decision? Yeah,

826
00:40:32,560 --> 00:40:35,360
Speaker 1: this is hard because the power rankings is really tricky

827
00:40:35,440 --> 00:40:38,959
Speaker 1: business in the year twenty twenty one, where the teams

828
00:40:39,000 --> 00:40:41,480
Speaker 1: that are supposed to be superpowers, like the Bills, they

829
00:40:41,560 --> 00:40:44,239
Speaker 1: don't play like superpowers week to week. And yet for

830
00:40:44,400 --> 00:40:46,960
Speaker 1: me to really drop them, to quote unquote punish them

831
00:40:47,000 --> 00:40:49,839
Speaker 1: and send them into the teams or wherever, that would

832
00:40:50,120 --> 00:40:52,040
Speaker 1: be me saying that I don't really believe in this

833
00:40:52,120 --> 00:40:54,239
Speaker 1: Bills team. I say, I think they're more a team

834
00:40:54,280 --> 00:40:56,400
Speaker 1: that's going through some stuff right now, but at the

835
00:40:56,480 --> 00:40:58,960
Speaker 1: same time, I think there's something that's still there. They're

836
00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:01,480
Speaker 1: in a slump that was as ugly as it gets

837
00:41:01,520 --> 00:41:04,960
Speaker 1: on Sunday against the Colts, but my placement of them

838
00:41:05,080 --> 00:41:07,399
Speaker 1: shows I still think they are a top ten team

839
00:41:07,400 --> 00:41:09,239
Speaker 1: in the team in the league, but they're gonna have

840
00:41:09,280 --> 00:41:13,279
Speaker 1: to show it on Thursday. Yeah they are. That's a

841
00:41:13,320 --> 00:41:15,760
Speaker 1: good one with the Saints. There's also a huge Colts

842
00:41:15,840 --> 00:41:18,520
Speaker 1: game this weekend. And when we watched Jonathan Taylor, we're

843
00:41:18,560 --> 00:41:20,759
Speaker 1: just jumping for joy because we even said he might

844
00:41:20,760 --> 00:41:23,440
Speaker 1: be an MVP candidate. Five total touchdowns, one hundred eighty

845
00:41:23,480 --> 00:41:25,759
Speaker 1: five yards and you said he makes the Colts look

846
00:41:25,840 --> 00:41:31,520
Speaker 1: like the most dangerous team in the AFC. I don't know,

847
00:41:32,520 --> 00:41:33,960
Speaker 1: take us through it. Here, is this guy gonna be

848
00:41:34,040 --> 00:41:36,480
Speaker 1: MVP in the first eleven games we've got this? What

849
00:41:36,600 --> 00:41:40,200
Speaker 1: do you think? Yeah, I think we were. He's officially

850
00:41:40,239 --> 00:41:42,919
Speaker 1: in the conversation for sure. And I think again, because

851
00:41:43,000 --> 00:41:46,359
Speaker 1: this is a strange season. The MVP race is more

852
00:41:46,520 --> 00:41:48,160
Speaker 1: wide open than I can really remember. And I think

853
00:41:48,200 --> 00:41:50,120
Speaker 1: it goes back to the fact that there just aren't

854
00:41:50,239 --> 00:41:54,120
Speaker 1: quarterbacks having dominant, memorable seasons right now. And I thought

855
00:41:54,160 --> 00:41:56,759
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray was a favorite, and then he got hurt

856
00:41:56,840 --> 00:41:59,200
Speaker 1: and Josh Allen he was the favorite in Vegas a

857
00:41:59,200 --> 00:42:00,920
Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago, and then things we've got on

858
00:42:00,960 --> 00:42:03,440
Speaker 1: sideways there. So the door is open for a non

859
00:42:03,560 --> 00:42:05,920
Speaker 1: quarterback and here comes Jonathan Taylor. And who has been

860
00:42:06,000 --> 00:42:09,360
Speaker 1: more important? Who's been more valuable than Jonathan Taylor? A

861
00:42:09,440 --> 00:42:11,719
Speaker 1: guy who now leads a league in yards, leads the

862
00:42:11,800 --> 00:42:15,000
Speaker 1: league in touchdowns, and on a week to week basis,

863
00:42:15,200 --> 00:42:17,799
Speaker 1: is making wild plays and just carrying this Colds team.

864
00:42:17,800 --> 00:42:19,399
Speaker 1: I mean, Carson Wentz is not a guy and I'm

865
00:42:19,400 --> 00:42:22,719
Speaker 1: a Carson Wentz apologist that you could trust necessarily. But

866
00:42:22,840 --> 00:42:24,200
Speaker 1: when you could hide him and he could throw U

867
00:42:24,200 --> 00:42:26,360
Speaker 1: for one hundred and thirty yards and you destroy the Bills,

868
00:42:26,600 --> 00:42:28,759
Speaker 1: it's because you have an MVP level running back. And

869
00:42:28,800 --> 00:42:32,480
Speaker 1: that's what Jonathan Taylor has been, all right, Dan, Both

870
00:42:32,520 --> 00:42:35,040
Speaker 1: the Cowboys and the Raiders coming off a week eleven

871
00:42:35,160 --> 00:42:38,120
Speaker 1: losses and they're facing each other on Thanksgaming Day, four

872
00:42:38,239 --> 00:42:41,719
Speaker 1: thirty pm on CBS. Who's got more at stake in

873
00:42:41,840 --> 00:42:43,800
Speaker 1: this game? The Raiders are on the outside looking in,

874
00:42:43,920 --> 00:42:46,799
Speaker 1: Cowboys are first Division. But who's got most at stake here?

875
00:42:48,280 --> 00:42:50,960
Speaker 1: That's an easy one for me, Sean, I think it's

876
00:42:51,040 --> 00:42:52,840
Speaker 1: it's the Raiders. The Raiders are in a lot of

877
00:42:52,920 --> 00:42:56,680
Speaker 1: trouble here. You know, we talked about it all throughout

878
00:42:56,719 --> 00:42:59,280
Speaker 1: the beginning of the season. Yeah, it's a good start,

879
00:42:59,320 --> 00:43:01,080
Speaker 1: but are they going to do what they did in

880
00:43:01,200 --> 00:43:04,640
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen and twenty twenty fade in December. Well they

881
00:43:04,680 --> 00:43:07,800
Speaker 1: proved everybody wrong because they faded in November. But that

882
00:43:07,920 --> 00:43:09,960
Speaker 1: doesn't mean they can't dig themselves out of this and

883
00:43:10,120 --> 00:43:12,920
Speaker 1: get and salvage this season. But they need to do

884
00:43:13,040 --> 00:43:16,000
Speaker 1: it on Thursday. This is their opportunity to keep this

885
00:43:16,080 --> 00:43:19,239
Speaker 1: season from completely imploding. The Cowboys are still in a

886
00:43:19,280 --> 00:43:22,359
Speaker 1: great position obviously to be a playoff team. If they lose,

887
00:43:22,480 --> 00:43:25,480
Speaker 1: it's going to be a lot of drama around Jerald World.

888
00:43:25,520 --> 00:43:28,080
Speaker 1: But I still think in terms of who needs it more,

889
00:43:28,200 --> 00:43:32,880
Speaker 1: it's the Raiders. NFL dot Com Slash Power Rankings. You

890
00:43:33,080 --> 00:43:36,880
Speaker 1: said that Justin Herbert, Hi Dan is different. That's the

891
00:43:36,960 --> 00:43:39,759
Speaker 1: word you use. Hi. The Chargers coming off a big

892
00:43:39,880 --> 00:43:43,920
Speaker 1: primetime win. I yesterday sort of expressed my worry that

893
00:43:44,080 --> 00:43:46,640
Speaker 1: too much is on Justin Herbert. If he's not good,

894
00:43:46,680 --> 00:43:48,200
Speaker 1: I don't know what they're gonna win if he's not

895
00:43:48,320 --> 00:43:50,680
Speaker 1: having a great day. Do you think that he and

896
00:43:50,840 --> 00:43:53,319
Speaker 1: this Chargers team has what it takes to actually give

897
00:43:53,360 --> 00:43:57,800
Speaker 1: the Chiefs a run for their money. I mean, again,

898
00:43:58,040 --> 00:44:00,800
Speaker 1: the Chiefs and the rest of the AFC. There's no

899
00:44:01,000 --> 00:44:04,000
Speaker 1: dominant teams, So yes, the Chargers can get hot and

900
00:44:04,120 --> 00:44:05,480
Speaker 1: be the team. But at the same time, like we

901
00:44:05,560 --> 00:44:08,080
Speaker 1: were at SOFI, stayed in me and the Ahn gang

902
00:44:08,120 --> 00:44:10,440
Speaker 1: on Sunday night watching that game, and you know, the

903
00:44:10,560 --> 00:44:15,120
Speaker 1: Steelers were decimated by injuries on defense, so the Chiefs.

904
00:44:15,320 --> 00:44:17,319
Speaker 1: It was fun watching them on offense, but I still

905
00:44:17,320 --> 00:44:20,160
Speaker 1: have questions whether they can be consistently doing that week

906
00:44:20,239 --> 00:44:23,480
Speaker 1: to week. And then the defense. You know, Ben Roethlisberger

907
00:44:23,640 --> 00:44:25,719
Speaker 1: went up and down the field on him. I think

908
00:44:25,760 --> 00:44:28,279
Speaker 1: they've been disappointing on defense all year. They have big

909
00:44:28,400 --> 00:44:30,640
Speaker 1: time players on both sides of the ball. They have

910
00:44:30,760 --> 00:44:33,520
Speaker 1: big time players in the front seven and the back end,

911
00:44:33,840 --> 00:44:36,239
Speaker 1: and yet it hasn't really all come together. So I

912
00:44:36,719 --> 00:44:39,479
