1
00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:05,880
Speaker 1: The Around the NFL podcast, two media insiders and.

2
00:00:06,280 --> 00:00:14,080
Speaker 2: Mark Sesssler from the Chris Wesley podcast studio. It's Around

3
00:00:14,120 --> 00:00:18,279
Speaker 2: the NFL, and my mania is I'm mad that Greg

4
00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:20,959
Speaker 2: somehow is claiming to be a median inside and that

5
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:23,720
Speaker 2: hasn't broken anything in his life but some dishes in

6
00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:27,280
Speaker 2: kitchen over here? What's the track record? But I also

7
00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:30,320
Speaker 2: don't like how it went for me, Well it went

8
00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:32,479
Speaker 2: for you. The worst is like the lock competition. I

9
00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:34,600
Speaker 2: just win, I just win.

10
00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:41,840
Speaker 3: All right, here we are week fourteen. Can you believe

11
00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:44,200
Speaker 3: it? It's juicy? I can.

12
00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:46,519
Speaker 4: It feels like a lot like another life that we

13
00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:48,600
Speaker 4: were like getting ready to go to London, and that

14
00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:49,320
Speaker 4: was week six.

15
00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:52,159
Speaker 3: Got that expense report in just under the.

16
00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:54,640
Speaker 5: Deadmark Bule, when is it? I have not filed yet.

17
00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:55,360
Speaker 5: When is the deadline?

18
00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:58,360
Speaker 3: You're taking the loss? You're taking the fin had I

19
00:00:58,760 --> 00:00:59,200
Speaker 3: filed it?

20
00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:01,920
Speaker 5: I can promise I was taking it a massive l

21
00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:02,440
Speaker 5: to begin with.

22
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:06,000
Speaker 2: We have this is the last bye week and it's

23
00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:11,760
Speaker 2: the Cardinals and it is the command Commandos on by

24
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:16,440
Speaker 2: which Tommy's interesting because those teams, there's very few teams

25
00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:20,120
Speaker 2: that are out of it because of just the nature

26
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:22,920
Speaker 2: the bottom of the playoff fields. Here, everyone seems to

27
00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:24,920
Speaker 2: be pretty much alive for the most part, but those

28
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:26,400
Speaker 2: two teams aren't. So we're going to talk about a

29
00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:28,920
Speaker 2: lot of games that, well, not all of them are

30
00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:33,199
Speaker 2: are gorgeous in terms of matchup, intrigue and a lore.

31
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:36,840
Speaker 2: They all have meaning for the most part. So I mean,

32
00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:40,800
Speaker 2: does everyone have playoff Yes, every single game.

33
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:43,440
Speaker 5: I would say, looking up and down the roster, yes,

34
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:45,839
Speaker 5: because I you know, my concern is there, like there

35
00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:48,200
Speaker 5: there's no way not to discuss each of these games

36
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:51,560
Speaker 5: at length. Like the film Gandhi Have if you've ever

37
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:54,559
Speaker 5: seen it was three hours and eleven minutes long, starring

38
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:59,240
Speaker 5: Ben Kingsley, I believe this show might equal that runtime

39
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:01,280
Speaker 5: based on the that no games included.

40
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:03,480
Speaker 2: It's a challenge, who stinkers, it's the challenge it used

41
00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:06,560
Speaker 2: to be. It used to be you would use site

42
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:10,560
Speaker 2: Gandhia's a long movie. Yeah, but now like an Iron

43
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:14,240
Speaker 2: Man movie seven and just can we just yeah rain

44
00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:19,080
Speaker 2: it in? Holly Weird? Got that one? All right, let's

45
00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:22,959
Speaker 2: get into we have the draft coming up, but uh,

46
00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:23,840
Speaker 2: let's start.

47
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:27,000
Speaker 3: Let's start with the best game of the week.

48
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:29,920
Speaker 2: Yes, there are two incredible games on the schedule, and

49
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:31,800
Speaker 2: I'm mean incredible, and I had to give a little

50
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:34,080
Speaker 2: pop to the AI schedule makers.

51
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:35,639
Speaker 3: You know, for years we heard.

52
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:38,640
Speaker 2: About the the sweaty men in the office and Park

53
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:41,680
Speaker 2: Avenue locked in there for months at a time.

54
00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:46,120
Speaker 4: And actually I used to visit that room. There weren't

55
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:49,000
Speaker 4: any women. So that's a bad job at the NFL.

56
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:50,760
Speaker 3: That's a problem for them. I worked right next to

57
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:51,480
Speaker 3: is three men.

58
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:54,560
Speaker 2: They just stuck him in there. It was actually they

59
00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:57,200
Speaker 2: sealed the door, they opened up a latch. It would

60
00:02:57,200 --> 00:02:59,520
Speaker 2: slide in food and drink and come out when the

61
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:01,600
Speaker 2: schedule may sense. We don't need to do that. In

62
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:03,480
Speaker 2: a Peter King would write a glowing profile and a

63
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:06,480
Speaker 2: way we go. Now you got the robots handling it. Yeah,

64
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:09,000
Speaker 2: the robots have been doing to have anybody noticing the

65
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:12,040
Speaker 2: back end of this regular season schedule. There is a

66
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:18,160
Speaker 2: hammer drop of a game or two every single week. Robots. Yeah,

67
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:21,519
Speaker 2: give the robit the credit. It took that technology to

68
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:24,440
Speaker 2: handle this. So let's start with Sunday night football. It

69
00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:28,760
Speaker 2: is the Philadelphia Eagles at the Dallas Cowboys. It is, yes,

70
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:33,480
Speaker 2: certainly one of the most important and impactful games on

71
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:36,560
Speaker 2: the schedule this season because it really and of course

72
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:38,600
Speaker 2: there's a big three here in the San Francisco forty

73
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:43,120
Speaker 2: nine ers who just did their business trouncing the Eagles,

74
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:45,200
Speaker 2: dropping them to ten and two and making this a

75
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:47,320
Speaker 2: real foot race now for the number one seed, the

76
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:49,280
Speaker 2: all important number one seed. I'm not going to get

77
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:51,680
Speaker 2: ahead of myself, but I think the number one seed

78
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:53,720
Speaker 2: that gets the home field advantage that might be the

79
00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:55,320
Speaker 2: difference between these three great teams.

80
00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:57,520
Speaker 3: It's that important to get that number one seed.

81
00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:00,360
Speaker 2: So now it's the Eagles looking hold on to place

82
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:04,800
Speaker 2: in the NFC East and the Cowboys Gregy looking to

83
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:08,040
Speaker 2: tie him, which a couple of weeks ago didn't seem possible,

84
00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:10,000
Speaker 2: but the way the schedule set up here we does

85
00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 2: it seem possible.

86
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 4: On this podcast the night the Eagles lost, I actually said,

87
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:16,599
Speaker 4: keep an eye out when these two teams play again.

88
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:18,480
Speaker 3: It's not in that long they'll probably.

89
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:21,760
Speaker 2: We should I should have had that clip played just

90
00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:24,560
Speaker 2: setun But yes, I'm just.

91
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:28,680
Speaker 4: Saying the Eagles the Cowboys chances of getting the division

92
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:30,120
Speaker 4: that are over if they don't win this. So this

93
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:32,000
Speaker 4: is as big a game as as any team has

94
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:34,680
Speaker 4: this week. And and The Cowboys are favored by by

95
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:38,520
Speaker 4: three and a half in this game. That's pretty spicy. Uh,

96
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:41,400
Speaker 4: the over under is fifty two and a half. That's spicy.

97
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:45,000
Speaker 4: And I think the Eagles. The Cowboys are favored despite

98
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:48,040
Speaker 4: their recent history against the Eagles because there's such clear

99
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:53,400
Speaker 4: concerns for the Eagles, the secondary and the linebackers. We've

100
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:55,479
Speaker 4: talked about that it's just not it's a it's a

101
00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:58,960
Speaker 4: whole group of players on this Eagles team that's playing

102
00:04:59,000 --> 00:04:59,680
Speaker 4: below average.

103
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:01,359
Speaker 3: All the defensive numbers over the.

104
00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:05,000
Speaker 4: Last half a season basically eight games are below average.

105
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:07,600
Speaker 4: They're a mediocre defense, and it's all because of that

106
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:10,400
Speaker 4: back end, and that back end having a match up

107
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:14,000
Speaker 4: against Jake Ferguson and who played really well against them,

108
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:16,880
Speaker 4: and the guys for the Cowboys passing game, and then

109
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:19,440
Speaker 4: it's the offensive running game. They're just not a great

110
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:23,640
Speaker 4: running team right now. They're not consistent enough actually trying

111
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:26,000
Speaker 4: to run. Part of that is Jalen Hurts isn't doing

112
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:27,440
Speaker 4: it as much, but a lot of it is just

113
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:30,640
Speaker 4: not committing to it and not being as explosive with

114
00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:32,719
Speaker 4: DeAndre Swift as they were early in the year.

115
00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:36,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, we have this recent evidence of Philly's defense,

116
00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:38,800
Speaker 5: which you know last year was such a dominant strength,

117
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:42,680
Speaker 5: being completely shredded by the other premier team in this conference.

118
00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:45,880
Speaker 5: And Dallas right now is playing at that level where

119
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:48,400
Speaker 5: if you had doubts about them before, I don't now.

120
00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:51,800
Speaker 5: And I mean Dak Prescott in his chase for the MVP,

121
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:55,039
Speaker 5: has been the most effective downfield thrower over the past

122
00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:57,840
Speaker 5: month plus. He's been the best quarterback on third down.

123
00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:00,839
Speaker 5: I feel like the stars in Dallas, their top heavy

124
00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:03,960
Speaker 5: elements of the roster have been shining. And it's like

125
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:06,920
Speaker 5: they if you look at home and road splits don't

126
00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:09,120
Speaker 5: really matter for chunks of teams, but it does.

127
00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:10,560
Speaker 3: They do matter for the Cowboys.

128
00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:13,600
Speaker 5: They have just been simply dominant at home and I

129
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:15,840
Speaker 5: you know, I guess in another universe, back in the

130
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:19,640
Speaker 5: eighties or nineties, i'd be concerned that they're head coach Zaddy.

131
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:22,680
Speaker 5: Mike McCarthy has been out with a you know, appendicit I.

132
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:24,680
Speaker 3: Don't love that. I don't love it. But but the

133
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:26,200
Speaker 3: thing is he's already back.

134
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:28,400
Speaker 5: And because now you know one thing that weis told

135
00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:31,240
Speaker 5: us about append you know, appendix operations. Now they just

136
00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:33,680
Speaker 5: stick a little tube in you and suck that appendix out.

137
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:34,520
Speaker 5: It's much easier.

138
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:37,520
Speaker 3: He's got how many of them? He's home. He's already

139
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:39,600
Speaker 3: home on zoom. What's wrong with your inside?

140
00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:42,039
Speaker 5: He's already exactly, He's already home on zoom. Meetings Like,

141
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:43,400
Speaker 5: it's like, how does that really matter?

142
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:48,919
Speaker 4: We've also got dan Quinn, Senheimer, Mike Salari, who is

143
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:51,760
Speaker 4: around with like the Cowboys in the Night, the very

144
00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:53,560
Speaker 4: experienced coaching staff, is my point.

145
00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:55,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is the biggest game of the year for

146
00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:59,160
Speaker 2: the Cowboys. The head coach, who's the head of the enterprise.

147
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:02,760
Speaker 2: He also he was doubled over in agony at some point.

148
00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:06,159
Speaker 2: I'm sure on Tuesday, Well, they set the hospital, Quinn said,

149
00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:08,880
Speaker 2: like he walked by at one point they encountered each

150
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:11,200
Speaker 2: other because you know, McCarthy went to the office and

151
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:14,240
Speaker 2: have you ever encountered someone that was about to get us?

152
00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:14,880
Speaker 3: I have not.

153
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:16,640
Speaker 5: I have when I was a child in the and

154
00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:19,280
Speaker 5: it's like it's a ghost. The person becomes a ghost.

155
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:21,440
Speaker 2: So I'm saying, like that doesn't sound it seems like

156
00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:24,000
Speaker 2: a bit of a distraction. Yeah, but they also there's

157
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:26,080
Speaker 2: a reason why dan Quinn's making like ten million dollars

158
00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:28,560
Speaker 2: a year or whatever. Like, they have a nice staff

159
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:30,480
Speaker 2: in there to hold it down, so I'm not too

160
00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:35,000
Speaker 2: worried about that. The Eagles, despite their issues on defense,

161
00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:37,960
Speaker 2: which are considerable, they have allowed over two hundred and

162
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:41,160
Speaker 2: sixty passing yards per game. They've already allowed twenty seven

163
00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:43,600
Speaker 2: passing touchdowns to their opponents this year.

164
00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:45,679
Speaker 3: That's bottom four in the league.

165
00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:49,480
Speaker 2: And Prescott, even in that narrow loss to the Eagles,

166
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:51,880
Speaker 2: lit him up for three seventy four and three touchdowns.

167
00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:54,280
Speaker 2: It really sets up well here for Prescott not only

168
00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:57,800
Speaker 2: to have another big game and move his team into

169
00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:00,720
Speaker 2: first place, but also really I think take with all

170
00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:03,360
Speaker 2: due respect to your boy, brock Purty, I think he

171
00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:05,520
Speaker 2: becomes the MVP favorite with a big game and a

172
00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:09,000
Speaker 2: big spot here. The Eagles, though they hold it in

173
00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:12,160
Speaker 2: their hands. We've been talking about it for weeks that

174
00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:16,440
Speaker 2: this killer, killer slate of games for the past month.

175
00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:22,360
Speaker 2: They home against Cowboys at Kansas City Home, Buffalo home

176
00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:26,320
Speaker 2: forty nine ers at Dallas. If they win this game,

177
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:29,000
Speaker 2: bye bye Dallas, because they will have swept them the

178
00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:31,480
Speaker 2: head to head and then they get they come out

179
00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:35,200
Speaker 2: of that gauntlet they have at Seattle home, Giants home

180
00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:39,600
Speaker 2: Cardinals at Giants. They can win out and win the conference,

181
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:42,560
Speaker 2: and that is what they're thinking right now. They don't

182
00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:44,800
Speaker 2: even give San Francisco a chance, who already have their

183
00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:46,440
Speaker 2: third loss at Seattle.

184
00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:49,000
Speaker 3: Not an easy game, though, I mean, not as hard

185
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:49,480
Speaker 3: as it looks.

186
00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:51,960
Speaker 4: I hear what you're saying, but we're saying how great

187
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:54,520
Speaker 4: the Cowboys are at home and they just gave up

188
00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:56,640
Speaker 4: thirty five points and had to win at the buzzer

189
00:08:56,920 --> 00:08:59,360
Speaker 4: against the Seahawks. The part of that schedule that worries

190
00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:02,880
Speaker 4: me most for feat Philadelphia is just the fatigue. It's

191
00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:04,839
Speaker 4: not just the fact that the Cowboys are on extra

192
00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:08,560
Speaker 4: rest and I've been on the extra rest bandwagon all season,

193
00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:10,720
Speaker 4: and they've got the extra rest in this game, which

194
00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:12,760
Speaker 4: I think is important. It's more of the mental extra

195
00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:15,079
Speaker 4: rest of the Eagles have been playing these great teams

196
00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:17,800
Speaker 4: week after week after week after week, and different injuries

197
00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:20,959
Speaker 4: have been stacking up for them week after week. And

198
00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:24,640
Speaker 4: maybe Dallas Goddard's back for this game, but I need

199
00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:27,080
Speaker 4: a little more out of their star pass rushers. That's

200
00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:29,880
Speaker 4: who's looked fatigued to me, and they're playing a Cowboys

201
00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:32,319
Speaker 4: offensive line that's been peaking because for all the attention

202
00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:35,560
Speaker 4: on the back end, like the guys up front need

203
00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:38,840
Speaker 4: to be special, and Jalen Card has been great and

204
00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:41,600
Speaker 4: like it's not a single person that's been bad, but

205
00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:44,439
Speaker 4: as a group, they've just been good and they need

206
00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:45,120
Speaker 4: to be amazing.

207
00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:46,760
Speaker 3: That's sort of how their team is built.

208
00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:49,680
Speaker 4: And if they're not amazing, Dak's gonna have a ton

209
00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:52,439
Speaker 4: of time. And I just have zero concerns right now

210
00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:56,200
Speaker 4: about this Cowboys offense. I think I'm not gonna bring

211
00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:58,480
Speaker 4: out the rain maker, but the over under to me,

212
00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:00,560
Speaker 4: this is gonna be a score fist, just like both

213
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:01,960
Speaker 4: of these teams to score a lot.

214
00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:04,240
Speaker 5: Can I ask a dumb question because I don't like

215
00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:05,400
Speaker 5: I kind of hate this conversation.

216
00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:07,160
Speaker 3: But it's like Dak Prescott.

217
00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:08,560
Speaker 5: You can like look at EPA, you can look at

218
00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:10,280
Speaker 5: all these stats and the stuff, and he and he

219
00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:13,120
Speaker 5: lines up as an MVP, but like go back to

220
00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:16,200
Speaker 5: the days of like Troy Ampion, like like quarterbacks from

221
00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:17,679
Speaker 5: the past two would win these awards.

222
00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:19,440
Speaker 3: It's like I don't think he ever won a.

223
00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:21,520
Speaker 5: Well, but I mean, but I would talk about like

224
00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:25,440
Speaker 5: Cowboys quarterbacks like in huge moments against division rivals, like

225
00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:28,360
Speaker 5: Dak cannot go h to two against the Eagles and

226
00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:31,240
Speaker 5: make a large argument to win MVP based off of

227
00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:34,720
Speaker 5: metrics and stats and a bunch of pff. You gotta

228
00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:37,520
Speaker 5: win this also for the story of the Cowboys, and

229
00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:40,040
Speaker 5: it's not just on it's for the entire team.

230
00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:43,199
Speaker 4: You cannot go if made the easiest schedule in the

231
00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:46,160
Speaker 4: NFL according to d v o A so far the Cowboys,

232
00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:48,679
Speaker 4: So yeah, they need they need a big time signature

233
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:52,240
Speaker 4: any and to it. You know, to his credit, he

234
00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:53,720
Speaker 4: had to put up forty to beat this.

235
00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:57,000
Speaker 3: Making a point. He had to score game.

236
00:10:57,200 --> 00:10:59,160
Speaker 4: He had to score a touchdown in every drive against

237
00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:00,720
Speaker 4: the Seahawks essentially, and he did it.

238
00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:02,920
Speaker 2: He had to put a well he's been doing it, like,

239
00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:06,160
Speaker 2: but this is kind of where it intersects.

240
00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:08,400
Speaker 4: Can deron Bland respond a little bit too, by the way,

241
00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:12,400
Speaker 4: after a disastrous game, because that's where the Eagles can

242
00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:14,200
Speaker 4: put up thirty plus is I think they still have

243
00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:15,000
Speaker 4: big time edges.

244
00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:17,240
Speaker 5: He's getting killed this week and it's like, I'm sorry,

245
00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:19,000
Speaker 5: what could he have not done more for this team

246
00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:19,440
Speaker 5: this season?

247
00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:22,800
Speaker 2: Hey, that's life with the Dallas Cowboys. Gregy revealed is

248
00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:25,720
Speaker 2: an anti iron sharpens iron.

249
00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:26,480
Speaker 3: Guy in a big spot.

250
00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:31,840
Speaker 2: The Eagles time teams a little iron sharpens iron.

251
00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:35,480
Speaker 3: I'm just saying, think not, they're like getting fatigued.

252
00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:38,240
Speaker 4: I could see them losing this game and still making

253
00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:40,440
Speaker 4: the super Bowl, but like this is the little part

254
00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:41,920
Speaker 4: of their season where they're just a little.

255
00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:44,360
Speaker 5: You don't think the Giants and their players are fatigued.

256
00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:46,760
Speaker 5: Who they played twice? Like the Giants players are like

257
00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:47,800
Speaker 5: get me to get me.

258
00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:49,679
Speaker 3: To they're coming off a bay bye.

259
00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:51,760
Speaker 4: I'm just saying, you play the best teams week after

260
00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:53,160
Speaker 4: week and all these snaps.

261
00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:56,120
Speaker 3: But just in term of physics, Yeah, would iron sharp

262
00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:56,920
Speaker 3: and iron.

263
00:11:57,000 --> 00:11:59,920
Speaker 5: I think it's I think that's technically true.

264
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:01,800
Speaker 3: Let them well leave it there. That's a good way

265
00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:02,880
Speaker 3: to end the analysis of the game.

266
00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:05,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, from a metal angle, like we nailed it, Yeah,

267
00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:07,040
Speaker 2: buttoned it up all right.

268
00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:09,680
Speaker 3: The two Monday night football games.

269
00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:13,040
Speaker 2: So let's start with the one that doesn't look too

270
00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:16,200
Speaker 2: good in terms of a competitive angle, the Tennessee Titans

271
00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:20,240
Speaker 2: traveling to Miami to face the Dolphins.

272
00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:21,160
Speaker 5: Miami.

273
00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:23,840
Speaker 2: I think we mentioned, yeah, the Cowboys getting plenty of

274
00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:27,720
Speaker 2: love from Vegas. The Dolphins are getting thirteen here, and

275
00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:31,960
Speaker 2: they're getting thirteen here because of what they did to

276
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:37,080
Speaker 2: the Commanders. Now, Washington is a joke defensively and we

277
00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:39,840
Speaker 2: know that, and they have a secondary that's as bad

278
00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:42,920
Speaker 2: as any team in the league. So that was the

279
00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:48,000
Speaker 2: perfect setup for Miami to get right and once again

280
00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:51,400
Speaker 2: say look at us, we're the bad boys. We got

281
00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:55,160
Speaker 2: to the MVP candidate, We got Tyreek the MVP candidate,

282
00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:59,640
Speaker 2: two thousand yard contender. Can they do it again in primetime?

283
00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:05,320
Speaker 2: Or does mister vrabel have something up his sleeve? Dark Sessler, Well.

284
00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:06,720
Speaker 3: I don't care what's up his sleeve.

285
00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:10,800
Speaker 5: Like, I think you've got major problems dealing with the Dolphins' offense.

286
00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:11,319
Speaker 3: Uh.

287
00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:13,720
Speaker 5: Sam Munson from PFF I loved what he said about

288
00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:17,520
Speaker 5: watching that Commander's game and this happens to other teams too,

289
00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:20,960
Speaker 5: that it looked as if the Commander's defense had never

290
00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:24,280
Speaker 5: seen Tyreek Hill before that they they went out there

291
00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:26,520
Speaker 5: to play a football game and had never accounted him

292
00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:28,560
Speaker 5: on any level. And like, I think he does that

293
00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:32,040
Speaker 5: to teams and it's like, well, yeah, this true. This

294
00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:34,200
Speaker 5: they have a cheat code here, and I like, I

295
00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:37,840
Speaker 5: think the Tennessee Titans, you know, at home, have been tough,

296
00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:39,960
Speaker 5: but I don't like this situation at all for them,

297
00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:43,640
Speaker 5: and you're talking about Actually, I think with Jalen Phillips out,

298
00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:46,960
Speaker 5: I still think this Dolphins defense has been competent. It

299
00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:50,319
Speaker 5: looked good last week. Guys like Andrew van Ginkel are

300
00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:54,040
Speaker 5: like stepping up and firing off, and like, I think

301
00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:55,760
Speaker 5: this is where the Dolphins kind of dig in and

302
00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:58,839
Speaker 5: say we're not gonna relinquish this spot in the AFC.

303
00:13:59,080 --> 00:13:59,760
Speaker 3: Weird spot.

304
00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:03,200
Speaker 4: Two games at the same time, so different than the

305
00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:05,199
Speaker 4: other Monday Night doesn't Is that.

306
00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:07,240
Speaker 5: Only annoying to me? I know it annoys you a

307
00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:09,840
Speaker 5: little bit dimptly. That kind of knocks it out. You

308
00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:11,720
Speaker 5: got one screen there, and you got one screen on

309
00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:13,320
Speaker 5: the TV, and the way we got now you're pro

310
00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:15,439
Speaker 5: like double Monday night game.

311
00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:17,280
Speaker 3: Well, now it's week fourteen.

312
00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:20,720
Speaker 4: It's weird to drop it in suddenly in week fourteen.

313
00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:25,160
Speaker 4: I think they're the ESPN has showing you they value

314
00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:28,280
Speaker 4: Packers Giants high because that's where they're sending buck An Akman.

315
00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:31,200
Speaker 4: We got Fowler, Riddick and or Labskian Ruttledge. I've liked

316
00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:36,200
Speaker 4: this group too, this Dolphins offense, like we know who

317
00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:38,440
Speaker 4: they are and this is the perfect matchup the Titans

318
00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:41,920
Speaker 4: are a great example of Mike Rabele not having anything

319
00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:43,840
Speaker 4: up as sleep by the way his defense is traditionally

320
00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:47,240
Speaker 4: in Tennessee, a little disappointing and how useless it is.

321
00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:49,560
Speaker 4: The Patriots are another one to have a great run

322
00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:51,640
Speaker 4: defense because they're the number one run defense in the

323
00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:55,200
Speaker 4: NFL and they're thirtieth against the pass, Like, where is.

324
00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:57,240
Speaker 3: That going to get you? Overall? Like twenty fifth.

325
00:14:57,280 --> 00:15:00,520
Speaker 4: It's not like it balances out to being average out

326
00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:04,520
Speaker 4: to being terrible. They give up so many big plays.

327
00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:06,360
Speaker 4: I think the Commanders are one of the only teams

328
00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:09,240
Speaker 4: they give up more big plays. So it's a perfect matchup.

329
00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:11,360
Speaker 4: Being able to stop the run doesn't really matter that

330
00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:12,800
Speaker 4: much against the Dolphins.

331
00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:14,040
Speaker 3: Who who's still all run? And I'm with you, the

332
00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:15,160
Speaker 3: defense has been excellent.

333
00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:17,320
Speaker 4: The numbers would say the Dolphins are one of the

334
00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:19,640
Speaker 4: best defenses in the league over the last seven or

335
00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:22,480
Speaker 4: eight weeks. That's largely, I believe, because of the matchups.

336
00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:25,120
Speaker 4: But it just shows that they're a very good defense.

337
00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:27,920
Speaker 4: That they've caught up with their guy Vick.

338
00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:33,800
Speaker 2: And that's kind of a trait of Fangio defenses to

339
00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:34,840
Speaker 2: take up take a little bit.

340
00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:37,240
Speaker 3: Of time to season, and then they get rolling.

341
00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:43,040
Speaker 2: Tyreek Hill leads the NFL with eighty one yards twelve tds.

342
00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:46,040
Speaker 3: Already he is three hundred yards clear to.

343
00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:48,960
Speaker 2: Ninety ninety be exact of the next closest receiver, which

344
00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:49,680
Speaker 2: is Ceedee Lamb.

345
00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:51,680
Speaker 3: So he is there.

346
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:54,480
Speaker 2: You have to have any chance, and it's happened, by

347
00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:57,040
Speaker 2: the way. So let's not act like because the commanders

348
00:15:57,080 --> 00:15:59,160
Speaker 2: are a joke. Let's not like no one has been

349
00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:01,400
Speaker 2: able to take Tyreek Hill out of the game plan

350
00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:03,520
Speaker 2: in any way. Like He's had games that where he

351
00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:08,640
Speaker 2: wasn't completely out of control. So if you can do that,

352
00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:11,880
Speaker 2: you force to to look elsewhere. But here's the thing,

353
00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:15,360
Speaker 2: like the fact that you can now bring a chan

354
00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:19,920
Speaker 2: out of the injury mix and he immediately goes over

355
00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:22,120
Speaker 2: one hundred total yards with two more touchdowns. With all

356
00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:25,440
Speaker 2: that speed, he might be the second fastest guy. It's

357
00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:29,800
Speaker 2: almost unfair. So it's really Mike McDaniel has this, all

358
00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:32,480
Speaker 2: these weapons, and the Titans have to find a way

359
00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:35,920
Speaker 2: to just hold them down and hope Derek Henry has

360
00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:37,840
Speaker 2: one of those turnback the clock games. I think that's

361
00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:40,080
Speaker 2: what it comes down to, unless you think Will Levis

362
00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:42,520
Speaker 2: has another big time game in him, but I'm not

363
00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:43,360
Speaker 2: so sure.

364
00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:45,360
Speaker 5: Now I see Will Levis is a very interesting watch

365
00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:48,400
Speaker 5: and there's some hope there for the future. I just

366
00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:51,080
Speaker 5: don't think it happens this week. And again to the

367
00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:54,080
Speaker 5: Dolphins defense. They've allowed under twenty one points five games

368
00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:56,520
Speaker 5: in a row, in under seventeen and four of those

369
00:16:57,560 --> 00:17:00,640
Speaker 5: they're amping up. And so you're asking the tightens with

370
00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:04,480
Speaker 5: a rookie quarterback and Derek Henry, you know, he's sounds

371
00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:06,080
Speaker 5: like he'll play, but he was banged up last week

372
00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:08,400
Speaker 5: in the protocol and all that business, and like.

373
00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:10,960
Speaker 4: I think they sit very straight to not acussion. They

374
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:13,080
Speaker 4: said he was not in the product.

375
00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:14,959
Speaker 3: But he played well last week, so they still have that.

376
00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:18,240
Speaker 5: But it's like in general, like you're asking teams against

377
00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:21,280
Speaker 5: Miami that leads the league with six point nine yards

378
00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:22,919
Speaker 5: per play, which is the most by any team in

379
00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:25,760
Speaker 5: the Super Bowl era outside of the Kurt Warner Rams.

380
00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:28,720
Speaker 5: In two thousand, to keep up in a massive.

381
00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:31,240
Speaker 4: Boat race housekeeping, they gave Austin Jackson the Dolphins a

382
00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:33,880
Speaker 4: three year, thirty six million dollar extension with twenty point

383
00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:37,560
Speaker 4: seven guaranteed. According to our guy Ian Rapport, a little

384
00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:40,080
Speaker 4: surprising based on how his career started. But they're sort

385
00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:42,520
Speaker 4: of splitting the difference of trying to get some good

386
00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:44,160
Speaker 4: value as his career.

387
00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:46,680
Speaker 3: That's up there with us as improved with Dan salary.

388
00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:50,960
Speaker 2: It's in the in the ballpark, really, my agent, incredible work.

389
00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:56,720
Speaker 2: The Dolphins also have destiny in their hands, certainly in

390
00:17:56,760 --> 00:17:57,480
Speaker 2: the AFCEE.

391
00:17:57,640 --> 00:18:00,560
Speaker 3: So if they just take care of business and they.

392
00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:05,680
Speaker 2: Beat the Titans on Monday night, stump the Jets at

393
00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:08,600
Speaker 2: home the next week, that gets them to eleven and three,

394
00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:10,800
Speaker 2: and then you put it in a situation where the

395
00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:14,240
Speaker 2: Bills basically have to go nuclear not lewing again and

396
00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:17,399
Speaker 2: including that week eighteen. So just take care of your

397
00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:19,399
Speaker 2: business in the next two weeks and you basically close

398
00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:24,720
Speaker 2: off Buffalo from making Week eighteen dramatic. Okay, final game, Greg,

399
00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:27,760
Speaker 2: you mentioned it. It's Packers favored by six.

400
00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:28,000
Speaker 3: And a half.

401
00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:33,399
Speaker 2: Demon this one's at the meadow Lands and they're a

402
00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:35,760
Speaker 2: little bit We know the Packer side of things, and

403
00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:39,479
Speaker 2: this is yes, as you mentioned Buck Akman Psalters, we

404
00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:42,240
Speaker 2: know that the Packers are playing at a very high level.

405
00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:45,919
Speaker 2: They are the team that kind of has arisen in

406
00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:46,920
Speaker 2: the NFC.

407
00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:48,520
Speaker 3: Is real interesting.

408
00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:53,159
Speaker 2: Five hundred team, and they feel like a team that

409
00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:55,320
Speaker 2: could just keep winning, and all of a sudden, they're

410
00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:56,800
Speaker 2: the team you don't want to see in the playoffs.

411
00:18:57,160 --> 00:18:59,879
Speaker 2: The Giants are the Giants. I'll just mention Greg that

412
00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:03,960
Speaker 2: a little bit of surprise. Tommy DeVito, who was kind

413
00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:06,359
Speaker 2: of a almost like the mascot of this lost Giant

414
00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:11,159
Speaker 2: season and all those Italians in Jersey loving it, he

415
00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:13,560
Speaker 2: kept He's keeping the starting job for another week, even

416
00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:14,959
Speaker 2: though Tyrod Taylor is healthy.

417
00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:17,639
Speaker 3: Taylor not thrilled about it. I get it.

418
00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:20,840
Speaker 4: Kind of heartbreaking for Tyrod Taylor. He's just had so

419
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:24,640
Speaker 4: much bad luck through the years. You could see the disappointment.

420
00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:26,680
Speaker 4: You know, he breaks his ribs right when he gets

421
00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:28,520
Speaker 4: a chance to start, and then DeVito comes in. We

422
00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:31,240
Speaker 4: might see Tyrod again, but Devido's played well enough that

423
00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:33,280
Speaker 4: you can't kill them for just keeping it going.

424
00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:34,960
Speaker 3: He's also going to be on the team next year.

425
00:19:35,080 --> 00:19:36,840
Speaker 2: It's like a gift to the Giant fans, like, we

426
00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:38,120
Speaker 2: know we botched the season.

427
00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:39,760
Speaker 3: One more week.

428
00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:42,560
Speaker 4: He's have to tell him, right exactly, he's a potential

429
00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:46,600
Speaker 4: backup on this team next year, and Tyrod's probably not

430
00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:49,480
Speaker 4: on the team this year. They did win two games

431
00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:52,720
Speaker 4: before they'reby and they do have Saquon Barkley here against

432
00:19:52,760 --> 00:20:00,600
Speaker 4: what's been a shaky, historicly shaky Joe Berry Packers defense defense.

433
00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:02,679
Speaker 4: So if you were looking to keep it closer than

434
00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:04,800
Speaker 4: six and a half, like that is your route to

435
00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:06,879
Speaker 4: do it. The Giants have been a little feistier lately.

436
00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:09,840
Speaker 5: I mean, I think the Packers are sort of like

437
00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:12,760
Speaker 5: the story of the past two or three weeks in

438
00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:15,080
Speaker 5: the NFL, and like this we talked about like the

439
00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:17,879
Speaker 5: Texans being the AFC version of that, and the Packers.

440
00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:20,080
Speaker 3: I think Matt Lafleur has coached the two.

441
00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:22,120
Speaker 5: Best games I've ever really I give them more credit

442
00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:24,959
Speaker 5: over the past two games than I would have at

443
00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:26,720
Speaker 5: any other point in his career in terms of like

444
00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:29,879
Speaker 5: coaching up a young quarterback about quarterback development, like Jordan

445
00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:32,880
Speaker 5: Love is becoming this like star before our eyes, and

446
00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:36,640
Speaker 5: they've found a way, like team building wise, to surround

447
00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:38,080
Speaker 5: him with all these young players.

448
00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:40,120
Speaker 2: People are ready to run him out of the building.

449
00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:41,920
Speaker 2: Laflora about a month and a half ago.

450
00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:45,840
Speaker 3: It's just that's how it works. Let's coach work with

451
00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:46,240
Speaker 3: the young.

452
00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:50,119
Speaker 5: I just I'm not quite certain what they can accomplish.

453
00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:52,080
Speaker 5: I guess you worry about a young team like this.

454
00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:54,040
Speaker 5: Could there be like a letdown game on the road

455
00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:54,760
Speaker 5: on Monday night.

456
00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:55,800
Speaker 3: I don't know.

457
00:20:55,920 --> 00:20:57,800
Speaker 2: I mean they keep going, they keep going left and

458
00:20:57,880 --> 00:20:59,720
Speaker 2: right and like showing who they are over.

459
00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:02,640
Speaker 3: You're not sure what they can't accomplish because I think,

460
00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:04,280
Speaker 3: I don't say, because I think they could do.

461
00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:06,879
Speaker 5: I think they could go win multiple playoff games in

462
00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:07,800
Speaker 5: a weird NFC.

463
00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:11,960
Speaker 3: You think that, you think they're in the neighborhood of

464
00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:14,040
Speaker 3: the Big Three. I think, I think, I don't know.

465
00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:14,879
Speaker 3: I can't go that far.

466
00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:16,399
Speaker 2: I can't go there with I know, but like that

467
00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:19,879
Speaker 2: multiple playoff teams, one of those Big three, I.

468
00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:22,040
Speaker 3: Think that's possible. Maybe two. I think it's possible.

469
00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:23,439
Speaker 5: Well I think you get no, you get into a

470
00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:26,240
Speaker 5: like a wild card round game, but that one of

471
00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:29,280
Speaker 5: these ham and Eggers and like I'm not and then

472
00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:30,360
Speaker 5: they could beat the Lions for.

473
00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:33,280
Speaker 3: That works, They're going to be playing one of those teams.

474
00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:35,840
Speaker 2: I think they I think they can do it, Like

475
00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:39,760
Speaker 2: they just beat the Chiefs. We're talking about the but

476
00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:41,600
Speaker 2: we're talking about the Chiefs. It's a crazy team and

477
00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:42,440
Speaker 2: they just beat the Chiefs.

478
00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:47,840
Speaker 5: There is Also, it's not just Jordan Love and the

479
00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:51,159
Speaker 5: wide receivers, like their defense, it's the whole team seems

480
00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:53,359
Speaker 5: to be growing together at once. And it's like, I

481
00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:55,760
Speaker 5: think that that's the kind of team in a weird NFL,

482
00:21:55,960 --> 00:21:58,000
Speaker 5: in a bad NFL and a mediocre and a couch

483
00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:00,359
Speaker 5: like they could It is like they could like go

484
00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:01,719
Speaker 5: in and steal playoff game or two.

485
00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:03,119
Speaker 3: No problem. My big problem with.

486
00:22:03,119 --> 00:22:06,200
Speaker 4: That potential big loss that Christian Watson, that that hamstring

487
00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:08,920
Speaker 4: injury did not look good to end Sunday Night football

488
00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:11,720
Speaker 4: and he's not practicing. But they could get back Aaron

489
00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:15,760
Speaker 4: Jones and JayR Alexander. So you're losing one of your

490
00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:18,639
Speaker 4: best players, but you are getting back two of your

491
00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:21,840
Speaker 4: best players, and you're right, Like Jordan Love to me,

492
00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:23,919
Speaker 4: is one of the top five stories of the season

493
00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:24,480
Speaker 4: right now.

494
00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:25,520
Speaker 3: His arc.

495
00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:29,280
Speaker 4: We actually talked about that contract the way it was

496
00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:31,639
Speaker 4: locked in a couple of months ago, is like, no,

497
00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:33,320
Speaker 4: they're not going to get rid of them probably no

498
00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:37,240
Speaker 4: matter what, because the contract is sort of splitting the

499
00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:39,359
Speaker 4: difference enough where it's really not that much. Now that

500
00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:42,159
Speaker 4: contract looks like a bargain and there's actually talk of

501
00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:44,160
Speaker 4: like do we want to extend him right now?

502
00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:44,679
Speaker 3: Do we want to?

503
00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:47,320
Speaker 4: Don't even don't even worry about keeping the bargain next year.

504
00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:50,439
Speaker 4: You'll probably wait till the offseason. But that let's just

505
00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:52,520
Speaker 4: get him signed up long term. It's kind of crazy.

506
00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:54,760
Speaker 4: You're right, how much five weeks changes everything.

507
00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:56,040
Speaker 3: I just make it clear.

508
00:22:56,320 --> 00:23:00,320
Speaker 2: I am also enjoying this Packer rise, but I also

509
00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:04,080
Speaker 2: think the NFC has the top three Super Bowl contenders

510
00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:07,719
Speaker 2: like across the entire league, and so for them to

511
00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:10,800
Speaker 2: get to that point would be surprising to me. But

512
00:23:11,359 --> 00:23:13,280
Speaker 2: if they get a nice matchup in round one and

513
00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:15,480
Speaker 2: they can they beat the Lions or something in the

514
00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:17,280
Speaker 2: in the wildcard round, wouldn't stun me?

515
00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:20,399
Speaker 3: Yeah, that wouldn't stun me. Get there, it would be

516
00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:21,040
Speaker 3: shocking if.

517
00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:23,280
Speaker 5: They knocked off the Cowboys or Niners or Eagles, it

518
00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:26,320
Speaker 5: would be. But can they win a playoff game or

519
00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:28,840
Speaker 5: they that? Are they that kind of team? Absolutely? Like that,

520
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:31,320
Speaker 5: like literally would be. That's what I'm saying, Like.

521
00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:33,200
Speaker 4: We have five weeks to talk about it, But that

522
00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:36,960
Speaker 4: Packers Lions end of the season matchup, just like last year,

523
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:39,760
Speaker 4: could set up up this time it would set up

524
00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:41,879
Speaker 4: a potential rematch and again the Lions might have a

525
00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:43,520
Speaker 4: chance to kind of knock the Packers out.

526
00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:45,399
Speaker 3: And I think it matters that they're really well like

527
00:23:45,440 --> 00:23:45,800
Speaker 3: they are.

528
00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:47,679
Speaker 5: I think Matt Lafleur, who I always thought, like, are

529
00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:49,920
Speaker 5: you just riding on the cotails of Aaron Rodgers in

530
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:53,200
Speaker 5: years past two MVP campaigns, Like, I think this is

531
00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:55,240
Speaker 5: a good coach. Like I think he's proven this year

532
00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:58,040
Speaker 5: the same way that Sean mcvadamie has that he's done

533
00:23:58,080 --> 00:24:00,000
Speaker 5: a lot with what people thought wouldn't be much.

534
00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:04,960
Speaker 2: Jordan Love getting hot in Philly in an early round game.

535
00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:09,040
Speaker 5: I could see it the Jets beat Philly. I mean,

536
00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:11,040
Speaker 5: crazy stuff can occur down the road.

537
00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:14,000
Speaker 2: Absolutely one game. Let's take a break and then we

538
00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:23,000
Speaker 2: will get to the draft. Yeah right, Welcome back to

539
00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:26,800
Speaker 2: Around the NFL the Week fourteen preview. It is time

540
00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:29,960
Speaker 2: now for the first overall pick presented by DraftKings.

541
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:32,800
Speaker 3: And I'll tell you what I have had bad luck.

542
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:37,080
Speaker 2: Whenever I'm up first, there never seems to be a banger.

543
00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:40,639
Speaker 3: Finally that comes to an end because you picked a

544
00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:41,640
Speaker 3: lot of Eric Fishers.

545
00:24:42,119 --> 00:24:45,240
Speaker 2: I got a lot of Eric Fishers over the past

546
00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:48,679
Speaker 2: few years, a lot of Luke Jogals. Now it's time

547
00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:54,840
Speaker 2: to pick the Buffalo Bills traveling to Kansas City to

548
00:24:54,920 --> 00:25:03,199
Speaker 2: face the Chiefs. The six and six Bills, who have

549
00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:07,840
Speaker 2: had two weeks to just sit with an absolutely horrific

550
00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:11,080
Speaker 2: thirty seven thirty four lost to the Eagles, a game

551
00:25:11,119 --> 00:25:15,240
Speaker 2: they desperately, desperately needed, and somehow they find a way

552
00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:18,000
Speaker 2: to lose that game in overtime. And it's a real

553
00:25:18,119 --> 00:25:21,959
Speaker 2: test of Sean McDermott and that coaching staff and their

554
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:27,160
Speaker 2: ability to have this team locked in, prepared and ready

555
00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:28,320
Speaker 2: to win this game.

556
00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:33,120
Speaker 3: Because if you don't win in Arrowhead, you gown.

557
00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:35,760
Speaker 2: You gotta find a way here, Greg, and I know

558
00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:37,840
Speaker 2: you were saying, don't count out the Bills. I'm not

559
00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:40,880
Speaker 2: counting out the Bills, but they can't keep losing every week.

560
00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:42,520
Speaker 2: And then we're saying, oh, well, they got to run

561
00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:44,879
Speaker 2: in and they at some point, you're gonna have to

562
00:25:45,040 --> 00:25:47,760
Speaker 2: really show the world who you are. And I have

563
00:25:47,800 --> 00:25:50,480
Speaker 2: to go, when's the last time, Greg, the Bills showed

564
00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:52,840
Speaker 2: the world that they're the Bills. You might have to

565
00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:55,280
Speaker 2: go all the way back to Week four against the

566
00:25:55,320 --> 00:25:57,800
Speaker 2: Dolphins when they had a big time opponent and they

567
00:25:57,880 --> 00:25:59,720
Speaker 2: said this is who we are. They need to do

568
00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:02,639
Speaker 2: that here. And the good news here, Greg is that

569
00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:05,560
Speaker 2: the Chiefs are vulnerable. We don't need to overstate it

570
00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:08,720
Speaker 2: at this point because yes, their defense is very good,

571
00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:11,680
Speaker 2: but Josh Allen is a cheap code. When he's playing

572
00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:13,480
Speaker 2: at a high level, he can make the Chiefs look

573
00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:14,400
Speaker 2: mortal on defense.

574
00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:17,160
Speaker 3: And we know if this turns into a shootout.

575
00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:21,320
Speaker 2: It's crazy saying this, but mahomes at home, I don't

576
00:26:21,359 --> 00:26:24,480
Speaker 2: think he could keep up in a shootout. I'm challenging

577
00:26:24,600 --> 00:26:27,360
Speaker 2: the Kansas City Chiefs to keep up in a shootout

578
00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:30,719
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty three because at a certain point, you

579
00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:32,960
Speaker 2: are who you are and that's what they've shown us

580
00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:36,400
Speaker 2: all year. I just it just makes me feel uncomfortable.

581
00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:39,840
Speaker 2: As my mother would say, the sky Yeah. Well, and

582
00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:41,280
Speaker 2: again I'm not anti Chiefs.

583
00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:44,439
Speaker 4: It just feels very strange like they're only favored by

584
00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:47,399
Speaker 4: two and a half in this game over under his

585
00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:49,360
Speaker 4: forty seven and a half. It's very low for these

586
00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:52,440
Speaker 4: two teams in the past, and this is going into

587
00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:54,560
Speaker 4: the season maybe the worst version of the game, this

588
00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:57,320
Speaker 4: game that you would expect eight and four Chiefs aren't

589
00:26:57,320 --> 00:27:00,320
Speaker 4: great on offense, six and six pills, and yet because

590
00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:03,880
Speaker 4: of that, it actually puts more real weight on it. Yeah,

591
00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:06,080
Speaker 4: like it's important to get seeding and all that, which

592
00:27:06,119 --> 00:27:08,120
Speaker 4: this game would have been in previous years. But it's

593
00:27:08,119 --> 00:27:13,000
Speaker 4: like the Bill season is on the line. They're disappointing run,

594
00:27:13,240 --> 00:27:18,160
Speaker 4: they're lackluster defense with a ton of injuries. They're erratic offense,

595
00:27:18,240 --> 00:27:21,280
Speaker 4: with Allen for five or six games of this season

596
00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:24,040
Speaker 4: I think being the best quarterback in the league. But

597
00:27:24,160 --> 00:27:27,880
Speaker 4: the other games obviously that not happening, including Philadelphia, which

598
00:27:28,359 --> 00:27:30,320
Speaker 4: to me that was a sign of like, oh, is

599
00:27:30,359 --> 00:27:31,080
Speaker 4: he going to do it?

600
00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:33,160
Speaker 3: Is he just going to start running all the time now?

601
00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:34,879
Speaker 4: And is he going to put this team on his

602
00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:38,040
Speaker 4: back and just be the best quarterback in the league,

603
00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:41,280
Speaker 4: Because about halfway through that Jets game, through that Eagles game,

604
00:27:41,320 --> 00:27:42,600
Speaker 4: that's what I felt he was.

605
00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:43,320
Speaker 3: And so I'm with you.

606
00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:45,440
Speaker 4: Even though the Bills are underdogs by two and a

607
00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:48,760
Speaker 4: half in this game. I like the Bills in their

608
00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:52,120
Speaker 4: last stand. And every time I do this against the Chiefs,

609
00:27:52,760 --> 00:27:55,880
Speaker 4: I get it wrong, you know, like whenever you doubt them,

610
00:27:55,880 --> 00:27:56,880
Speaker 4: like in a home, big spot.

611
00:27:56,880 --> 00:27:58,440
Speaker 3: Although they did lose to the Eagles, you know those

612
00:27:58,480 --> 00:28:00,159
Speaker 3: only a few weeks ago in a big spot. You

613
00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:03,800
Speaker 3: picked those Bills too, you were dying in that newsroom. Yeah,

614
00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:05,720
Speaker 3: and I I still I'm not giving up on them.

615
00:28:05,880 --> 00:28:09,440
Speaker 4: I'm I'm I'm still thinking that they can get it done.

616
00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:11,880
Speaker 4: And again, an extra week arrest does not hurt at

617
00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:12,640
Speaker 4: this time of year.

618
00:28:12,800 --> 00:28:15,600
Speaker 5: It is interesting to think that, you know, coming out

619
00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:18,520
Speaker 5: of out of this weekend of football, either the Chiefs

620
00:28:18,560 --> 00:28:20,960
Speaker 5: will be eight and five or the Bills will be

621
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:23,720
Speaker 5: six and seven, that that wasn't something that we saw coming.

622
00:28:23,760 --> 00:28:25,679
Speaker 5: So you're right, the stakes for this game are different

623
00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:28,680
Speaker 5: than were they, Like Vine for that the buye, it's

624
00:28:28,720 --> 00:28:32,240
Speaker 5: like the Bills are essentially executed if they can't win this.

625
00:28:32,560 --> 00:28:34,800
Speaker 5: Maybe maybe not mathematically, and keep talking about the but

626
00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:38,160
Speaker 5: it's like yeah, in a way in the sense for

627
00:28:38,240 --> 00:28:40,160
Speaker 5: real for me, like you can't if they.

628
00:28:40,160 --> 00:28:42,000
Speaker 3: But not for real, well, no, they would.

629
00:28:42,040 --> 00:28:44,200
Speaker 5: They would continue to exist in Western New York. They're

630
00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:45,440
Speaker 5: probably really nice speaking.

631
00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:48,880
Speaker 2: Which I need to offer an apology. I called uh

632
00:28:49,120 --> 00:28:51,840
Speaker 2: squid games? Is that what it's called? You had the

633
00:28:51,840 --> 00:28:54,200
Speaker 2: wrong country attack? I called the Japanese It is a

634
00:28:54,280 --> 00:28:55,320
Speaker 2: South Korean product.

635
00:28:55,360 --> 00:28:58,120
Speaker 5: But also I'd say a good game, you know, and

636
00:28:58,200 --> 00:29:01,040
Speaker 5: Greg has a lot of you know, he knows a

637
00:29:01,120 --> 00:29:04,440
Speaker 5: lot about the Japanese culture. Didn't jump into correct, that's

638
00:29:04,440 --> 00:29:06,040
Speaker 5: what people were saying. I'm not saying that. You know

639
00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:08,200
Speaker 5: what people are saying. You know what people good?

640
00:29:08,200 --> 00:29:12,760
Speaker 2: Call Greg, Come on, Bud, help me out. You've been

641
00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:16,320
Speaker 2: to Japan many many times now? How many TV shows

642
00:29:16,320 --> 00:29:19,160
Speaker 2: doing your wife is Japanese? You got to jump in

643
00:29:19,440 --> 00:29:21,280
Speaker 2: and help me out there and say, well, I know,

644
00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:24,080
Speaker 2: I know my Japanese exports and that's not one of them.

645
00:29:24,440 --> 00:29:26,440
Speaker 3: But hung me out to dry, maybe on purpose.

646
00:29:26,440 --> 00:29:29,239
Speaker 5: You're a diet American and we don't we don't doubt that.

647
00:29:29,440 --> 00:29:30,280
Speaker 3: I don't know what's.

648
00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:34,360
Speaker 2: Going on outside the borders, multicultural, and it would have

649
00:29:34,360 --> 00:29:35,480
Speaker 2: been a nice you.

650
00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:38,400
Speaker 4: To help I've I've last watched like a TV show

651
00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:40,960
Speaker 4: that was not part of what Patrick Cleaban would be

652
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:43,920
Speaker 4: called The The Shavers on Netflix, like you know, about

653
00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:47,880
Speaker 4: a year ago. So you can't ask me, I'm that

654
00:29:47,920 --> 00:29:52,440
Speaker 4: means that's the ultimatum queer love, that's love is blind.

655
00:29:52,640 --> 00:29:55,400
Speaker 3: You know those are the only shows you watch. I

656
00:29:55,440 --> 00:29:58,719
Speaker 3: mean in terms of like TV shows lately, it's been

657
00:29:58,760 --> 00:30:01,800
Speaker 3: a while. You know, if you just invite us over

658
00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:03,360
Speaker 3: your house once, we could.

659
00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:06,880
Speaker 2: Have a nice little sporting sports a little reality.

660
00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:10,719
Speaker 5: You know, I don't know where to go with this. Well, no,

661
00:30:10,800 --> 00:30:13,760
Speaker 5: I I think I was suggesting that the bills to me.

662
00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:14,960
Speaker 3: Oh should be executed.

663
00:30:15,040 --> 00:30:17,840
Speaker 5: Well yeah, because if you can't, if you can't handle

664
00:30:17,920 --> 00:30:20,400
Speaker 5: this spot. Although like they are a different team on

665
00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:23,720
Speaker 5: the road, Like how many weeks, I mean, it keeps

666
00:30:23,760 --> 00:30:26,520
Speaker 5: saying Josh Allen's it's the best team in the AFC

667
00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:27,120
Speaker 5: no matter what.

668
00:30:27,840 --> 00:30:30,600
Speaker 4: Even if they win there, they have the Cowboys next week,

669
00:30:30,640 --> 00:30:33,320
Speaker 4: so it's still it just stays very difficult.

670
00:30:33,360 --> 00:30:35,200
Speaker 3: But I'm with you, they are We should know.

671
00:30:35,400 --> 00:30:39,720
Speaker 4: Von Miller, who Dan you know mentioned last week on

672
00:30:39,760 --> 00:30:44,640
Speaker 4: the show after his domestic violence arrest, is expected to

673
00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:48,320
Speaker 4: play in this game. I'm a little surprised by Well, that's.

674
00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:50,040
Speaker 5: The weird thing with the NFL because like the case

675
00:30:50,280 --> 00:30:52,680
Speaker 5: is sitting in a place, right they haven't ruled on it,

676
00:30:52,720 --> 00:30:55,640
Speaker 5: and it's awkward to have them go out there. But

677
00:30:55,960 --> 00:30:58,360
Speaker 5: it's like from a football angle, purely, like the von

678
00:30:58,440 --> 00:31:00,360
Speaker 5: Miller's kind of not really been a.

679
00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:02,640
Speaker 3: Factor that precedent, right, And that's the problem.

680
00:31:02,720 --> 00:31:04,720
Speaker 5: Like I think, like you you've got you're getting a

681
00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:06,480
Speaker 5: good version of Josh Allen in some of these games,

682
00:31:06,480 --> 00:31:08,160
Speaker 5: but not always the one you want. But I will

683
00:31:08,160 --> 00:31:10,840
Speaker 5: say under Joe Brady, I don't know if it's because

684
00:31:10,880 --> 00:31:12,600
Speaker 5: like we have no other choice to do this at

685
00:31:12,600 --> 00:31:15,800
Speaker 5: this point, but what nine rushes for Josh Allen in

686
00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:18,040
Speaker 5: their last performance, like he like they were trying to

687
00:31:18,280 --> 00:31:19,800
Speaker 5: kind of shy away from that and not have that

688
00:31:19,840 --> 00:31:20,920
Speaker 5: be an element of their offense.

689
00:31:20,960 --> 00:31:21,960
Speaker 3: But you don't have a choice.

690
00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:24,560
Speaker 4: Now it's mostly him because it's not like they're called

691
00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:27,960
Speaker 4: then there's a design runner too, and they've worked. But

692
00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:30,640
Speaker 4: he also, I think, is kind of like, Okay, it's

693
00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:32,520
Speaker 4: go time. I gotta start running. Remember he did that

694
00:31:32,560 --> 00:31:35,120
Speaker 4: his rookie year. Suddenly it was like, oh wow, Josh

695
00:31:35,160 --> 00:31:36,800
Speaker 4: Allen is awesome, and it's like at the end of

696
00:31:36,800 --> 00:31:39,240
Speaker 4: every season, Josh Allen's like, Okay, it's go time. I

697
00:31:39,280 --> 00:31:41,400
Speaker 4: need to just start running. And I have I have

698
00:31:41,440 --> 00:31:43,880
Speaker 4: concerned You mentioned the good Chiefs depens. Are they a

699
00:31:43,880 --> 00:31:48,520
Speaker 4: good defense? Like they started a good they've been they

700
00:31:48,520 --> 00:31:51,760
Speaker 4: have been bread They're they're twenty fifth in the league

701
00:31:51,920 --> 00:31:55,240
Speaker 4: since thereby according to EPA. I mean that's only three games,

702
00:31:55,160 --> 00:31:57,480
Speaker 4: it's a small sample size, but they haven't been a

703
00:31:57,480 --> 00:32:00,040
Speaker 4: difference maker. Nick Bolton is expected to return, which I

704
00:32:00,040 --> 00:32:02,520
Speaker 4: think is really big for them because they lost Drew

705
00:32:02,560 --> 00:32:05,080
Speaker 4: Tranquil and they've been just injured at that position. But

706
00:32:05,120 --> 00:32:07,280
Speaker 4: they might not have their left tackle Donovan Smith. A

707
00:32:07,320 --> 00:32:09,880
Speaker 4: man named Janya Morris so I was not familiar with

708
00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:14,120
Speaker 4: played forty two to make or something and graded out

709
00:32:14,240 --> 00:32:15,120
Speaker 4: very well, So maybe they.

710
00:32:15,080 --> 00:32:19,560
Speaker 2: Don't need Donovan's If the Chiefs defense isn't good, they're

711
00:32:19,560 --> 00:32:21,200
Speaker 2: going ten and seven, they're going.

712
00:32:21,040 --> 00:32:22,120
Speaker 3: Home in the middle of January.

713
00:32:22,120 --> 00:32:24,920
Speaker 4: And are they like, you know, a huge difference maker.

714
00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:26,960
Speaker 4: They haven't been against, Like the best office.

715
00:32:26,960 --> 00:32:27,920
Speaker 3: Is the Chiefs? What are you?

716
00:32:29,280 --> 00:32:31,480
Speaker 5: I think they are just what we're watching all right.

717
00:32:31,560 --> 00:32:33,760
Speaker 3: By the way, this is for Eric producer Eric.

718
00:32:34,400 --> 00:32:39,880
Speaker 2: The Bills have never lost after the bye under Sean McDermott.

719
00:32:40,160 --> 00:32:44,400
Speaker 2: The Bills also have the fifth highest point differential plus

720
00:32:44,440 --> 00:32:44,960
Speaker 2: one oh one.

721
00:32:45,040 --> 00:32:47,800
Speaker 3: So those are positives.

722
00:32:47,880 --> 00:32:50,960
Speaker 2: That's like, what's your fan confidence one to ten right now?

723
00:32:51,120 --> 00:32:54,800
Speaker 3: Uh? Six? Okay, I take that on the road in

724
00:32:54,880 --> 00:32:55,440
Speaker 3: Kansas City.

725
00:32:55,520 --> 00:32:57,719
Speaker 4: I would take that Andy Reid sixteen and one in

726
00:32:57,760 --> 00:32:59,280
Speaker 4: December with these Chiefs teams.

727
00:32:59,280 --> 00:33:01,760
Speaker 3: So there's like ashing historical.

728
00:33:01,320 --> 00:33:04,840
Speaker 2: Stats and finally they're gonna have to put Romo Josh

729
00:33:04,880 --> 00:33:05,320
Speaker 2: Allen v.

730
00:33:05,520 --> 00:33:07,040
Speaker 3: Patrick Mahomes in Arrowhead.

731
00:33:07,080 --> 00:33:09,320
Speaker 2: You have to put him on a delay, like a

732
00:33:09,320 --> 00:33:12,200
Speaker 2: two second delay, just because there's gonna be kids watching.

733
00:33:12,360 --> 00:33:15,920
Speaker 2: And it's not like it's this is not silk stockings, right,

734
00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:18,680
Speaker 2: this is yeah, this is in channel ninety nine.

735
00:33:18,560 --> 00:33:19,640
Speaker 3: With the scrambler box.

736
00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:22,800
Speaker 2: This this is this is America watching this game, and

737
00:33:22,840 --> 00:33:23,720
Speaker 2: we need to be clean.

738
00:33:24,080 --> 00:33:25,720
Speaker 3: Tony I even together.

739
00:33:25,520 --> 00:33:27,800
Speaker 5: I will come out of this game giving Romo some

740
00:33:27,840 --> 00:33:30,720
Speaker 5: credit because at this point he has covered I think

741
00:33:30,800 --> 00:33:34,080
Speaker 5: roughly seven seventy five Patrick Mahomes games, and it's like

742
00:33:34,160 --> 00:33:36,280
Speaker 5: you have to keep coming up with new things to say.

743
00:33:36,360 --> 00:33:38,160
Speaker 5: He doesn't that that's the problem.

744
00:33:38,160 --> 00:33:42,719
Speaker 3: But it's Jim. I think he's having a nice comeback season.

745
00:33:42,840 --> 00:33:44,760
Speaker 3: I know you keep saying that, but I think he's

746
00:33:44,800 --> 00:33:45,480
Speaker 3: actually you.

747
00:33:45,440 --> 00:33:49,280
Speaker 2: Can see I think he saw everyone was getting on him,

748
00:33:49,320 --> 00:33:50,959
Speaker 2: and you could see going into the games. He has

749
00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:52,880
Speaker 2: these little nuggets where that showed he did a little

750
00:33:52,920 --> 00:33:54,080
Speaker 2: bit of Jim.

751
00:33:54,360 --> 00:33:59,680
Speaker 3: Jim. Look he's doing it only I mean get it,

752
00:34:00,240 --> 00:34:00,880
Speaker 3: Chiefs fans.

753
00:34:00,960 --> 00:34:04,120
Speaker 4: I had to watch Phil Simms do seventy five thousand

754
00:34:04,280 --> 00:34:05,160
Speaker 4: Tom Brady games.

755

Speaker 5: All right, second, overall pay we got to pick up

763
00:34:27,080 --> 00:34:30,080
Speaker 5: the I like, I'm gonna go Seattle at San Francisco.

764
00:34:30,200 --> 00:34:32,480
Speaker 3: Interesting, uh late game.

765
00:34:33,160 --> 00:34:35,879
Speaker 5: I I kind of feel like we've talked so much

766
00:34:35,920 --> 00:34:38,480
Speaker 5: about the Niners at this point that it's like, can

767
00:34:38,520 --> 00:34:40,680
Speaker 5: you just keep it going? And you're kind of in

768
00:34:40,719 --> 00:34:44,000
Speaker 5: a place where you could take Seattle almost completely out

769
00:34:44,040 --> 00:34:47,239
Speaker 5: of the picture at this point. I what's happening to

770
00:34:47,280 --> 00:34:49,359
Speaker 5: the Seahawks over the last couple, you know, the last

771
00:34:49,360 --> 00:34:52,040
Speaker 5: month or so. Tells me they're just not a playoff team.

772
00:34:52,080 --> 00:34:54,719
Speaker 5: Can they sneak in the NFC? Sure, but I just

773
00:34:54,760 --> 00:34:56,800
Speaker 5: don't trust them on any level. Their defense has fallen

774
00:34:56,880 --> 00:35:00,600
Speaker 5: completely off a cliff. They lost to baalt More thirty

775
00:35:00,600 --> 00:35:05,200
Speaker 5: seven to three. They completely fell apart against the Rams

776
00:35:05,400 --> 00:35:08,040
Speaker 5: when they should have taken that game. The Niners are

777
00:35:08,200 --> 00:35:11,799
Speaker 5: essentially their kryptonite. They played hard, against the Cowboys, but

778
00:35:11,840 --> 00:35:13,640
Speaker 5: it's like you still give up forty one points. It's

779
00:35:13,680 --> 00:35:15,759
Speaker 5: like you're a Pete Carroll team and I don't trust

780
00:35:15,760 --> 00:35:18,160
Speaker 5: your defense on any level. I think, really the situation

781
00:35:18,280 --> 00:35:21,680
Speaker 5: is that Geno Smith versus the Niners, the Seahawks versus

782
00:35:21,680 --> 00:35:24,279
Speaker 5: this version of the Niners last couple of seasons, they

783
00:35:24,360 --> 00:35:26,279
Speaker 5: just haven't shown up. And I want to say one

784
00:35:26,360 --> 00:35:30,120
Speaker 5: quick thing about the whole brock Purty MVP situation is

785
00:35:30,120 --> 00:35:32,960
Speaker 5: that there is a lot of talk about that he's

786
00:35:33,080 --> 00:35:36,200
Speaker 5: just simply riding on a sled down a snow hill

787
00:35:36,760 --> 00:35:40,640
Speaker 5: with yards after the catch. His yards after the catch

788
00:35:40,800 --> 00:35:46,520
Speaker 5: numbers for MVP winners are less than Aaron Rodgers the

789
00:35:46,600 --> 00:35:49,880
Speaker 5: last two seasons, less than Patrick Mahomes the year before that,

790
00:35:50,160 --> 00:35:53,839
Speaker 5: and less those three guys like they're less. So it's

791
00:35:53,880 --> 00:35:55,520
Speaker 5: like that is a bit it's a bit of a

792
00:35:55,520 --> 00:35:58,200
Speaker 5: phantom argument where it's like, this isn't the only reason

793
00:35:58,239 --> 00:36:00,680
Speaker 5: he's see I don't have this conversation for the eighteenth time,

794
00:36:00,719 --> 00:36:01,680
Speaker 5: but it's like it's not.

795
00:36:01,760 --> 00:36:02,759
Speaker 3: I think it's this thing.

796
00:36:02,880 --> 00:36:06,000
Speaker 4: Well, then people broke out the screen passes are like

797
00:36:06,120 --> 00:36:08,600
Speaker 4: four times more effective for him than anything I was.

798
00:36:08,520 --> 00:36:11,200
Speaker 2: Gonna say that the irony is that the game that

799
00:36:11,239 --> 00:36:13,560
Speaker 2: allowed him to move to the top of the Vegas

800
00:36:13,560 --> 00:36:15,640
Speaker 2: odds makers, which is this Eagles game.

801
00:36:15,600 --> 00:36:16,279
Speaker 3: Came off of that.

802
00:36:16,440 --> 00:36:19,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, that this was a big yach game for the Niners.

803
00:36:19,440 --> 00:36:22,319
Speaker 2: But I'm with you. Come on, yeah, I think, I mean,

804
00:36:22,360 --> 00:36:23,879
Speaker 2: are we We don't have to make this case when

805
00:36:23,880 --> 00:36:24,839
Speaker 2: he's now the number one.

806
00:36:25,719 --> 00:36:27,759
Speaker 5: I will say, Seattle, the one problem they have two

807
00:36:27,760 --> 00:36:29,680
Speaker 5: which is not you know, it's not on them in

808
00:36:29,719 --> 00:36:31,759
Speaker 5: terms of their perform They're really banged up right now,

809
00:36:32,600 --> 00:36:33,960
Speaker 5: right They're pretty banged up.

810
00:36:34,200 --> 00:36:38,680
Speaker 3: By the way, Jamal Adams bro come back to us. Oh,

811
00:36:38,719 --> 00:36:41,600
Speaker 3: I know what you mean. What an absurd thing for

812
00:36:41,640 --> 00:36:42,680
Speaker 3: a human being to do.

813
00:36:42,920 --> 00:36:45,560
Speaker 2: You have a Jets beat writer that you have beef with,

814
00:36:46,320 --> 00:36:50,560
Speaker 2: who I hated this quote, tweets a shot of you

815
00:36:50,640 --> 00:36:53,960
Speaker 2: failing to cover Jake Ferguson on any level, and then

816
00:36:54,200 --> 00:36:59,200
Speaker 2: you reply by posting a photo of that reporter's wife,

817
00:36:59,400 --> 00:37:03,000
Speaker 2: him and his wife and mocking her appearance. And then

818
00:37:03,040 --> 00:37:05,080
Speaker 2: when you have a couple of days to sit with it,

819
00:37:05,120 --> 00:37:06,960
Speaker 2: and obviously there's a lot of criticism and even your

820
00:37:06,960 --> 00:37:09,279
Speaker 2: coach says, that's not what we do. You don't back

821
00:37:09,320 --> 00:37:13,520
Speaker 2: down like that you want to talk about La Rabi Magnifie.

822
00:37:13,600 --> 00:37:15,800
Speaker 4: It is he said when they go low, I go lower,

823
00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:19,680
Speaker 4: which you know, different in a different circumstance would be

824
00:37:19,680 --> 00:37:20,480
Speaker 4: a funny response.

825
00:37:20,520 --> 00:37:23,840
Speaker 5: But in the jo like the Jamal Adams Seattle experience

826
00:37:23,880 --> 00:37:26,400
Speaker 5: has been dus.

827
00:37:26,040 --> 00:37:27,120
Speaker 3: Well that that's the problem.

828
00:37:27,160 --> 00:37:30,960
Speaker 2: Is he that the gentleman's f might be too kind

829
00:37:30,960 --> 00:37:34,239
Speaker 2: of right, that he's emblematic to me of what's wrong

830
00:37:34,239 --> 00:37:36,839
Speaker 2: with this team, which is like you can see him

831
00:37:36,880 --> 00:37:39,200
Speaker 2: pop and have a splash player too and be like,

832
00:37:39,239 --> 00:37:41,360
Speaker 2: oh yeah, Jamal Adams, he can make a difference, but

833
00:37:41,400 --> 00:37:43,879
Speaker 2: the some of their parts are really disappointing.

834
00:37:44,040 --> 00:37:48,399
Speaker 4: Twenty fourth and Dvoa Pete Carroll just gets owned by

835
00:37:48,440 --> 00:37:51,000
Speaker 4: two separate coaches in his own division. He's going to

836
00:37:51,040 --> 00:37:53,279
Speaker 4: be zero and four against them again unless they win

837
00:37:53,280 --> 00:37:57,440
Speaker 4: this game. Sean McVay and and Kyle Shannon and I

838
00:37:57,440 --> 00:38:00,120
Speaker 4: do wonder like you were talking about hot butts, like

839
00:38:00,160 --> 00:38:02,799
Speaker 4: they're always just thinking that they're always surprises. But like

840
00:38:02,920 --> 00:38:05,440
Speaker 4: if you're just completely owned by two coaches in your

841
00:38:05,480 --> 00:38:09,880
Speaker 4: own division, and your defense and your defensive head coach

842
00:38:10,040 --> 00:38:14,600
Speaker 4: has been mediocre to bad for six years running, this

843
00:38:14,680 --> 00:38:17,640
Speaker 4: is not a small sample size. He could be in

844
00:38:17,960 --> 00:38:20,320
Speaker 4: a little bit of trouble, so he needs to somehow

845
00:38:20,360 --> 00:38:23,719
Speaker 4: cook up something. And really I think him cooking up

846
00:38:23,760 --> 00:38:27,160
Speaker 4: something is you know, hope Gino, and it'd be very

847
00:38:27,200 --> 00:38:30,719
Speaker 4: difficult to do U Gino and the offense can just

848
00:38:31,800 --> 00:38:34,040
Speaker 4: put up thirty five again, because I just don't think

849
00:38:34,080 --> 00:38:36,760
Speaker 4: the Seahawks defense is going to be able to hold

850
00:38:36,800 --> 00:38:37,680
Speaker 4: down the Monstars.

851
00:38:37,680 --> 00:38:38,480
Speaker 3: It's yeah, it happened.

852
00:38:38,560 --> 00:38:40,360
Speaker 5: And at that if they put up thirty five, the

853
00:38:40,400 --> 00:38:44,240
Speaker 5: Desert has the Niners winning by ten and a half points,

854
00:38:44,280 --> 00:38:46,760
Speaker 5: so it would mean the Niners put up that makes sense,

855
00:38:46,920 --> 00:38:48,799
Speaker 5: That makes sense forty five and a half points. Tough

856
00:38:48,800 --> 00:38:51,879
Speaker 5: to do it because even that Cowboys game didn't feel sustainable.

857
00:38:52,400 --> 00:38:55,480
Speaker 5: They have great players, but like Gino's was under so

858
00:38:55,600 --> 00:38:57,560
Speaker 5: much pressure that night. He actually faced one of the

859
00:38:57,640 --> 00:38:59,799
Speaker 5: higher pressure rates he's faced all season. So it's not

860
00:38:59,840 --> 00:39:02,319
Speaker 5: like they suddenly started playing better. They just sort of

861
00:39:02,640 --> 00:39:06,080
Speaker 5: played out of their minds for three quarters before, you know,

862
00:39:06,320 --> 00:39:07,080
Speaker 5: falling in that.

863
00:39:07,200 --> 00:39:08,560
Speaker 3: I don't know, It's just tough to do.

864
00:39:08,560 --> 00:39:11,000
Speaker 5: Doesn't It feel like the Chase Young addition, you know,

865
00:39:11,320 --> 00:39:13,680
Speaker 5: has worked where it's like it's added this like extra

866
00:39:13,760 --> 00:39:14,600
Speaker 5: weight onuoffense.

867
00:39:14,719 --> 00:39:15,960
Speaker 3: That's the defense that's different.

868
00:39:16,000 --> 00:39:17,680
Speaker 4: That's the whole thing with me in Perty is like

869
00:39:17,680 --> 00:39:20,080
Speaker 4: he hasn't really been playing that much different all season.

870
00:39:20,320 --> 00:39:22,520
Speaker 4: Their defense just stunk for three weeks and he was

871
00:39:22,560 --> 00:39:26,680
Speaker 4: on the wrong end of some turnover luck for three weeks.

872
00:39:27,000 --> 00:39:29,320
Speaker 4: Their defense, which everyone is killing Wilks for, is number

873
00:39:29,360 --> 00:39:34,760
Speaker 4: two in EPA since Dubai, and they're they're now starting

874
00:39:34,760 --> 00:39:37,040
Speaker 4: to dial very game specific stuff. You saw that last

875
00:39:37,080 --> 00:39:39,600
Speaker 4: week against the Eagles, where they're getting very creative and

876
00:39:39,640 --> 00:39:43,960
Speaker 4: their linebackers are just outrageously good and lets them do

877
00:39:44,120 --> 00:39:45,920
Speaker 4: something different every week.

878
00:39:49,080 --> 00:39:53,400
Speaker 2: The Seahawks have one playoff win in the last seven years.

879
00:39:54,800 --> 00:39:57,120
Speaker 2: You know, they've been competitive, and Carol is a great

880
00:39:57,120 --> 00:39:59,319
Speaker 2: face of the franchise in terms of you know, they

881
00:39:59,320 --> 00:40:02,759
Speaker 2: love him obviously up there, but that's certain pointing to

882
00:40:02,760 --> 00:40:05,200
Speaker 2: see results again in deep playoff runs.

883
00:40:05,680 --> 00:40:07,839
Speaker 3: All right, Greg, you are up, all right?

884
00:40:08,040 --> 00:40:12,680
Speaker 4: I will take the Ravens favored by seven at home

885
00:40:13,200 --> 00:40:15,000
Speaker 4: against the Rams.

886
00:40:15,320 --> 00:40:15,799
Speaker 3: Fun game.

887
00:40:16,719 --> 00:40:21,160
Speaker 4: Big test here for the Rams defense, especially, which has

888
00:40:21,200 --> 00:40:25,080
Speaker 4: been playing really out of their heads, but going up

889
00:40:25,120 --> 00:40:28,680
Speaker 4: against a Ravens run defense, I think it's gotten slept on,

890
00:40:28,840 --> 00:40:31,560
Speaker 4: like a little bit that the worry with Greg Roman

891
00:40:31,719 --> 00:40:33,880
Speaker 4: was like, oh, well, you know, you might lose something

892
00:40:33,920 --> 00:40:36,360
Speaker 4: with the running game. They were such a special run attack,

893
00:40:36,920 --> 00:40:41,840
Speaker 4: and their numbers this year are up there with some

894
00:40:42,040 --> 00:40:46,279
Speaker 4: running attacks historically, Like especially compared to what the rest

895
00:40:46,280 --> 00:40:48,840
Speaker 4: of the league is, how far ahead they are compared

896
00:40:48,880 --> 00:40:50,680
Speaker 4: to the rest of the league. It's right there or

897
00:40:50,719 --> 00:40:53,440
Speaker 4: above actually where they were in their running attack in

898
00:40:53,480 --> 00:40:57,360
Speaker 4: twenty eighteen with Lamar Jackson. So it's like, Lamar Jackson

899
00:40:57,400 --> 00:41:00,000
Speaker 4: reminds me that they say in the NFL NBA sometimes

900
00:41:00,160 --> 00:41:04,680
Speaker 4: there's certain players like Yannis or Luca or whatever, like

901
00:41:04,760 --> 00:41:06,680
Speaker 4: it's like, oh, he's you step into the season and

902
00:41:06,719 --> 00:41:09,040
Speaker 4: you like the baseline is forty wins. Lamar is like

903
00:41:09,080 --> 00:41:11,880
Speaker 4: a baseline top three running attack. It doesn't matter what

904
00:41:12,000 --> 00:41:15,080
Speaker 4: he does completely different. It's not always that different, Mark

905
00:41:15,800 --> 00:41:17,640
Speaker 4: uh and so to.

906
00:41:17,120 --> 00:41:19,040
Speaker 3: Let the point go and show.

907
00:41:19,080 --> 00:41:21,520
Speaker 4: But for the Rams that try to hold up for

908
00:41:21,680 --> 00:41:25,360
Speaker 4: four quarters, to me is a tough ask against a

909
00:41:25,440 --> 00:41:29,759
Speaker 4: Ravens team that's been a weirdly injured team all year.

910
00:41:29,960 --> 00:41:32,080
Speaker 3: But he didn't have a ton of season ending injuries.

911
00:41:32,200 --> 00:41:36,920
Speaker 4: Sure, and actually right now yea almost completely healthy Rashad

912
00:41:36,920 --> 00:41:39,160
Speaker 4: Bateman was the only player out of fifty three that

913
00:41:39,239 --> 00:41:39,920
Speaker 4: missed practiced there.

914
00:41:40,040 --> 00:41:44,440
Speaker 3: Sometimes they coming out of the buy well that's though, because.

915
00:41:44,200 --> 00:41:46,040
Speaker 2: How many Yeah, and it's been Lamar in the last

916
00:41:46,040 --> 00:41:48,120
Speaker 2: two years. Like you want to see what this team

917
00:41:48,160 --> 00:41:49,840
Speaker 2: could do at full strength.

918
00:41:49,880 --> 00:41:52,279
Speaker 4: Marcus Williams is a big guy for them up front.

919
00:41:52,280 --> 00:41:54,279
Speaker 4: They've had guys in and out. They're they're healthy now.

920
00:41:54,280 --> 00:41:57,399
Speaker 5: They do have to work around the Mark Andrews.

921
00:41:57,520 --> 00:41:59,640
Speaker 3: That's a good point. I was totally wrong. Could he

922
00:41:59,680 --> 00:42:02,120
Speaker 3: come back they playoffs?

923
00:42:02,160 --> 00:42:05,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, like so it would be late. But to your point,

924
00:42:05,160 --> 00:42:08,680
Speaker 5: they're number two and EPA. As a running team, they've

925
00:42:08,680 --> 00:42:13,480
Speaker 5: been great. Lamar Jackson right now is having I would argue, like,

926
00:42:13,560 --> 00:42:16,600
Speaker 5: I know he had the MVP season, but the version

927
00:42:16,640 --> 00:42:18,360
Speaker 5: of him right now in this offense to me is

928
00:42:18,400 --> 00:42:20,959
Speaker 5: more balanced. It's it's what you've been waiting for. He's

929
00:42:21,000 --> 00:42:24,600
Speaker 5: never had a higher completion percentage or yards per attempt.

930
00:42:24,760 --> 00:42:28,040
Speaker 5: Then at this point you're getting a little more from

931
00:42:28,040 --> 00:42:31,440
Speaker 5: Odell Beckham, like say Flowers has been an absolute like

932
00:42:32,280 --> 00:42:36,120
Speaker 5: green light as a draft pick. Their defense has been stout,

933
00:42:36,239 --> 00:42:40,720
Speaker 5: Like they've only trailed this season forty five minutes plus

934
00:42:40,800 --> 00:42:41,600
Speaker 5: the entire year.

935
00:42:41,680 --> 00:42:43,640
Speaker 3: I mean, they're they're just a solid, good team.

936
00:42:44,320 --> 00:42:46,440
Speaker 5: The Rams, though, right now, are on a hot, hot streak,

937
00:42:46,520 --> 00:42:49,400
Speaker 5: like they've won three straight. They've scored thirty six plus

938
00:42:49,400 --> 00:42:52,200
Speaker 5: and two last two games. Matt Stafford is seven touchdowns

939
00:42:52,200 --> 00:42:54,800
Speaker 5: in his last two games. I think Kyron Williams changes

940
00:42:54,840 --> 00:42:57,440
Speaker 5: everything they can do, and so this Rams team, to me,

941
00:42:57,520 --> 00:42:59,680
Speaker 5: is sort of a berserker down the stretch that can

942
00:42:59,680 --> 00:43:00,720
Speaker 5: really hang with anyone.

943
00:43:00,719 --> 00:43:02,160
Speaker 3: It seems like I kind of love what they did

944
00:43:02,160 --> 00:43:02,920
Speaker 3: against Cleveland.

945
00:43:03,040 --> 00:43:05,040
Speaker 5: I mean to put it on Cleveland's defense that way,

946
00:43:05,360 --> 00:43:07,839
Speaker 5: even though you're going to Baltimore, I think that there

947
00:43:07,920 --> 00:43:09,600
Speaker 5: is a chance that the Rams can hang around in

948
00:43:09,600 --> 00:43:09,879
Speaker 5: the game.

949
00:43:09,920 --> 00:43:13,000
Speaker 4: McVay versus McDonald, just Mike McDonald, just when the Rams

950
00:43:13,000 --> 00:43:13,439
Speaker 4: have the ball.

951
00:43:13,560 --> 00:43:14,960
Speaker 3: McVeigh versus Mike McDonald.

952
00:43:15,040 --> 00:43:17,280
Speaker 4: This Ravens defense, who to me is the best defense

953
00:43:17,280 --> 00:43:19,759
Speaker 4: in league, is one of the most exciting matchups of

954
00:43:19,760 --> 00:43:20,040
Speaker 4: the week.

955
00:43:20,040 --> 00:43:21,760
Speaker 3: I don't think the other side of the Rams.

956
00:43:21,560 --> 00:43:23,000
Speaker 4: Are gonna be able to hold up to keep it

957
00:43:23,040 --> 00:43:26,160
Speaker 4: close enough, probably, but that is a great matchup. Danny

958
00:43:26,400 --> 00:43:28,840
Speaker 4: that revive McVeigh against this defense.

959
00:43:29,840 --> 00:43:32,799
Speaker 2: Okay, Greg, Yeah, I think the Rams are a lot

960
00:43:32,800 --> 00:43:35,279
Speaker 2: of trouble here. I think we could we could sell

961
00:43:35,320 --> 00:43:36,840
Speaker 2: that and maybe it will turn out that way. But

962
00:43:36,880 --> 00:43:40,560
Speaker 2: I think the Ravens at home rams coming across the country,

963
00:43:40,880 --> 00:43:44,480
Speaker 2: and I think Lamar the difference between the MVP year,

964
00:43:44,920 --> 00:43:47,560
Speaker 2: it felt to me a little more electric then and

965
00:43:47,600 --> 00:43:49,240
Speaker 2: there was like a little bit of a different type

966
00:43:49,239 --> 00:43:52,279
Speaker 2: of Lamar as a little unprecedented too. Yeah yeah, and

967
00:43:52,360 --> 00:43:54,960
Speaker 2: it was just like, this guy is outrageous what he's

968
00:43:55,000 --> 00:43:56,359
Speaker 2: doing on the field, and he was just making look

969
00:43:56,400 --> 00:43:59,560
Speaker 2: people look stupid. Lamar now is like, I know it's

970
00:43:59,600 --> 00:44:02,840
Speaker 2: like cliche, but he is like a more mature player

971
00:44:03,440 --> 00:44:05,880
Speaker 2: and you could see the way he's able to go

972
00:44:05,920 --> 00:44:09,000
Speaker 2: through progressions and I think that completion percentage you mentioned

973
00:44:09,000 --> 00:44:11,760
Speaker 2: that he's become a better passer and when he needs

974
00:44:11,760 --> 00:44:13,400
Speaker 2: it with his legs, he can go get it. But

975
00:44:13,480 --> 00:44:16,239
Speaker 2: it's not it's not like something if without it, he

976
00:44:16,360 --> 00:44:17,760
Speaker 2: is no longer a good quarterback.

977
00:44:17,840 --> 00:44:20,480
Speaker 3: He's just a really strong, well rounded quarterback.

978
00:44:20,520 --> 00:44:23,239
Speaker 2: And I think one of the subplots Greg when you

979
00:44:23,280 --> 00:44:27,960
Speaker 2: think about Greg, when you think about the offseason was man,

980
00:44:28,000 --> 00:44:30,359
Speaker 2: anybody could have had him, they really wanted him, They

981
00:44:30,400 --> 00:44:31,400
Speaker 2: could have gone and got him.

982
00:44:31,400 --> 00:44:34,200
Speaker 4: Probably tried the Falcons had they announced that they were

983
00:44:34,280 --> 00:44:38,200
Speaker 4: not interested immediately now, how foolish want Lamar Jackson in Atlanta?

984
00:44:38,280 --> 00:44:41,320
Speaker 3: All those teams? How foolish do you feel right now?

985
00:44:41,840 --> 00:44:43,640
Speaker 3: I hope they feel foolish. It is.

986
00:44:43,719 --> 00:44:46,520
Speaker 5: I find the Rams interesting from another angle that like

987
00:44:46,560 --> 00:44:48,239
Speaker 5: if you thought that they were going to succeed in

988
00:44:48,280 --> 00:44:49,840
Speaker 5: a year where most of us had them winning like

989
00:44:49,880 --> 00:44:52,680
Speaker 5: four or five games, that obviously it would be Stafford

990
00:44:52,680 --> 00:44:55,240
Speaker 5: in like Cooper Cup and it's like Cooper Cup hasn't

991
00:44:55,239 --> 00:45:00,200
Speaker 5: crossed forty. Don't worry about yards body, Yeah, since like

992
00:45:00,680 --> 00:45:02,120
Speaker 5: October fifteenth.

993
00:45:01,719 --> 00:45:04,120
Speaker 4: And they haven't healthy in two years, and they haven't

994
00:45:04,160 --> 00:45:07,880
Speaker 4: been on the same page sometimes. It has been a

995
00:45:07,920 --> 00:45:12,000
Speaker 4: little bit of a bummer there, all right, Gregs snakes

996
00:45:12,040 --> 00:45:15,440
Speaker 4: back to you, Okay, unconventional pick here. I almost took

997
00:45:15,480 --> 00:45:17,239
Speaker 4: it right away. Wouldn't it matter? They're both at the

998
00:45:17,280 --> 00:45:20,920
Speaker 4: same time, Bucks Falcons two and a half point spread,

999
00:45:20,960 --> 00:45:22,719
Speaker 4: the Falcons are favored at home.

1000
00:45:23,160 --> 00:45:24,200
Speaker 3: I have a.

1001
00:45:26,200 --> 00:45:28,960
Speaker 4: Dirty fascination with this terrible division and this game just

1002
00:45:28,960 --> 00:45:32,000
Speaker 4: feels I wanted to take it. I wanted to watch

1003
00:45:32,040 --> 00:45:35,120
Speaker 4: it live because I now that we're getting later in

1004
00:45:35,200 --> 00:45:39,799
Speaker 4: the season. This this Buccaneers team, which is as forgettable,

1005
00:45:39,800 --> 00:45:42,600
Speaker 4: I guess as almost any team in the league. This

1006
00:45:42,680 --> 00:45:45,200
Speaker 4: does feel like a winner go home type of game.

1007
00:45:45,239 --> 00:45:48,279
Speaker 4: And I know, yeah, the Falcons could fall apart down

1008
00:45:48,320 --> 00:45:51,640
Speaker 4: the stretch, but this would give the Falcons a two

1009
00:45:51,680 --> 00:45:53,920
Speaker 4: game lead over them with just four to play.

1010
00:45:54,239 --> 00:45:55,040
Speaker 3: And am I crazy?

1011
00:45:55,280 --> 00:45:56,759
Speaker 4: I should know this off the top of my head

1012
00:45:56,760 --> 00:45:58,719
Speaker 4: that the Falcons didn't they beat them already so it

1013
00:45:58,719 --> 00:46:02,799
Speaker 4: would be a two game sweet right?

1014
00:46:02,920 --> 00:46:03,920
Speaker 3: Yeah? That was that.

1015
00:46:03,920 --> 00:46:07,839
Speaker 4: That was the game where Bijon, uh you hadn't really play. Yeah,

1016
00:46:08,400 --> 00:46:12,000
Speaker 4: so everyone was confused about that. And I just look

1017
00:46:12,040 --> 00:46:14,760
Speaker 4: at this matchup and I see like, well, these two teams,

1018
00:46:14,880 --> 00:46:17,000
Speaker 4: I mean, he had like Migraines are crazy.

1019
00:46:17,000 --> 00:46:20,279
Speaker 3: Hey slash Migrains wasn't feeling well that the don't these

1020
00:46:20,280 --> 00:46:22,120
Speaker 3: two teams. That's what they said. It's the same thing.

1021
00:46:22,200 --> 00:46:24,480
Speaker 4: But yeah, like I know Mark wants to cross out

1022
00:46:24,560 --> 00:46:27,960
Speaker 4: teams right desperately, but I just feel like this team,

1023
00:46:28,400 --> 00:46:31,080
Speaker 4: this division, no one's gonna get crossed out, so that

1024
00:46:31,239 --> 00:46:33,600
Speaker 4: the fate of this division is for them all to

1025
00:46:33,640 --> 00:46:36,120
Speaker 4: be six and seven after this week, and for that

1026
00:46:36,120 --> 00:46:38,120
Speaker 4: that just feels like, what that's the fate of this division.

1027
00:46:38,160 --> 00:46:40,279
Speaker 4: Saints probably get the win over the Pail and that

1028
00:46:40,480 --> 00:46:43,680
Speaker 4: for that to happen. The Bucks need to win this game,

1029
00:46:43,760 --> 00:46:46,120
Speaker 4: and they're catching the Falcons at a time where they

1030
00:46:46,160 --> 00:46:48,080
Speaker 4: probably don't have a j Terrell who had a concussion,

1031
00:46:48,120 --> 00:46:51,920
Speaker 4: Jeff Acuda's banged up, Caleb McGarry, their tackle is banged up.

1032
00:46:51,920 --> 00:46:54,440
Speaker 4: They've they had a bunch of injuries all of a sudden.

1033
00:46:54,560 --> 00:46:58,200
Speaker 5: I want to see what happens with the Bucks injury report.

1034
00:46:58,280 --> 00:47:01,600
Speaker 5: Because Videvea did not practice Wednesday with a toe injury.

1035
00:47:01,920 --> 00:47:03,640
Speaker 3: We'll see that. Sometimes that means nothing.

1036
00:47:04,000 --> 00:47:06,880
Speaker 5: But Jamel Dean Devin White also didn't like did not

1037
00:47:06,960 --> 00:47:09,680
Speaker 5: return to practice this week yet so far, I think

1038
00:47:09,719 --> 00:47:12,200
Speaker 5: that that's your defense right there, that all that matters.

1039
00:47:11,920 --> 00:47:16,280
Speaker 3: A lot return which that is even that's big this

1040
00:47:16,280 --> 00:47:16,719
Speaker 3: this game.

1041
00:47:16,800 --> 00:47:18,840
Speaker 5: So yeah, didn't when they I think it's fair to

1042
00:47:18,880 --> 00:47:21,000
Speaker 5: look back at how it played the first time out,

1043
00:47:21,000 --> 00:47:22,799
Speaker 5: because I don't think they're that different than they were

1044
00:47:22,840 --> 00:47:26,560
Speaker 5: back then. Ridder played one of his cleaner games. He

1045
00:47:26,640 --> 00:47:29,000
Speaker 5: was nineteen for twenty five with two hundred and fifty yards.

1046
00:47:29,239 --> 00:47:31,520
Speaker 5: He was good on the ground. He also lost three

1047
00:47:31,560 --> 00:47:34,200
Speaker 5: fumbles though, so it's like, no matter what, like Ridder

1048
00:47:34,280 --> 00:47:37,440
Speaker 5: is going to do something to x out what you know,

1049
00:47:37,640 --> 00:47:39,920
Speaker 5: the advantage he's creating. But you you do add Beijon

1050
00:47:40,040 --> 00:47:40,879
Speaker 5: Robinson to the mix.

1051
00:47:41,840 --> 00:47:42,239
Speaker 3: I don't know.

1052
00:47:42,280 --> 00:47:43,920
Speaker 5: I think the Bucks to me are just about his

1053
00:47:44,040 --> 00:47:48,120
Speaker 5: milk toast and average as you could possibly imagine. And Mayfield, though,

1054
00:47:48,120 --> 00:47:51,080
Speaker 5: has been one of the best quarterbacks in the league

1055
00:47:51,120 --> 00:47:54,239
Speaker 5: on the road in terms of touchdown interception like.

1056
00:47:54,840 --> 00:47:56,440
Speaker 3: Rachel all Right, sell it.

1057
00:47:56,600 --> 00:47:59,359
Speaker 5: So he's got twelve touchdowns and three picks on the road.

1058
00:47:59,400 --> 00:48:02,200
Speaker 5: Only Jordan is a better ratio. That's just from that

1059
00:48:02,239 --> 00:48:05,080
Speaker 5: one angle. But I think Mayfield battles every week. Mike

1060
00:48:05,120 --> 00:48:07,600
Speaker 5: Evans has battled every week, and they stay in these games.

1061
00:48:07,880 --> 00:48:10,080
Speaker 5: They were even with the Falcons this first time. That

1062
00:48:10,160 --> 00:48:12,560
Speaker 5: took a last second kick for them to win. I

1063
00:48:12,640 --> 00:48:16,080
Speaker 5: just don't trust either team to do anything week after week.

1064
00:48:16,160 --> 00:48:19,080
Speaker 2: And please don't tell me about the Falcons in their

1065
00:48:19,120 --> 00:48:21,840
Speaker 2: top ten defense, Like, go watch that game they just

1066
00:48:21,840 --> 00:48:22,760
Speaker 2: played against the Jets.

1067
00:48:22,800 --> 00:48:25,439
Speaker 3: There. They've been playing bad teams all year.

1068
00:48:25,600 --> 00:48:28,600
Speaker 2: So they're allowing twenty points a game, that's seventh in

1069
00:48:28,640 --> 00:48:32,120
Speaker 2: the league. Their top ten in yards allowed a game,

1070
00:48:32,120 --> 00:48:35,399
Speaker 2: they're tied for first, and rushing tds allowed. Their third

1071
00:48:35,440 --> 00:48:38,719
Speaker 2: down percentages second in the league. Their opposition red zone

1072
00:48:38,719 --> 00:48:41,600
Speaker 2: touch on percentage is first line. It's like great data,

1073
00:48:41,840 --> 00:48:45,239
Speaker 2: great data points. But go look who they're playing, and

1074
00:48:45,320 --> 00:48:49,200
Speaker 2: if Baker Mayfield has a good Baker day, they're gonna

1075
00:48:49,560 --> 00:48:51,319
Speaker 2: go to work on this defense and they're not gonna

1076
00:48:51,320 --> 00:48:51,919
Speaker 2: look so hot.

1077
00:48:52,000 --> 00:48:54,040
Speaker 3: Okay, that's that's why.

1078
00:48:54,440 --> 00:48:56,520
Speaker 4: And people get on me sometimes say, you know, I

1079
00:48:56,600 --> 00:49:00,000
Speaker 4: lean on the DVOA and to the guys at Football Outsiders,

1080
00:49:00,160 --> 00:49:03,399
Speaker 4: I'm not gonna do it. That's why I love them though,

1081
00:49:03,400 --> 00:49:06,200
Speaker 4: because you gave all the basic pro numbers that the

1082
00:49:06,239 --> 00:49:08,040
Speaker 4: announcers for this game are going to say they're twenty

1083
00:49:08,040 --> 00:49:11,000
Speaker 4: fifth in defensive DVA. So they're looking at the number

1084
00:49:11,280 --> 00:49:14,400
Speaker 4: and the opponents and saying this actually is in a

1085
00:49:14,480 --> 00:49:15,399
Speaker 4: very good and.

1086
00:49:15,360 --> 00:49:18,480
Speaker 2: They shut down. Tim Boyle on, Trevor Simeon, what a

1087
00:49:18,560 --> 00:49:21,239
Speaker 2: what a performance on the road. Jonathan Wilma come back

1088
00:49:21,239 --> 00:49:22,800
Speaker 2: to us. Is having a bad year. We want to

1089
00:49:22,840 --> 00:49:25,080
Speaker 2: talk about people having a good year. Tony Romo bounce

1090
00:49:25,120 --> 00:49:28,080
Speaker 2: back year. Vilma is dripped in a way. Okay, just

1091
00:49:28,120 --> 00:49:31,479
Speaker 2: to take but you mentioned that I'm not allowed to's uncomfortable, but.

1092
00:49:31,760 --> 00:49:33,240
Speaker 3: No, I just like a spirit.

1093
00:49:33,320 --> 00:49:35,160
Speaker 4: I don't think he's like elite, but I like his

1094
00:49:35,320 --> 00:49:36,800
Speaker 4: style that he just has like I think.

1095
00:49:36,680 --> 00:49:38,800
Speaker 2: Some of the spirit we lost, we've lost like the

1096
00:49:38,960 --> 00:49:40,920
Speaker 2: Jesus Christ and some of that fun stuff, and what

1097
00:49:40,960 --> 00:49:43,560
Speaker 2: we're left with is I don't know.

1098
00:49:43,640 --> 00:49:46,400
Speaker 4: The Falcons would be four to zero in the division

1099
00:49:46,640 --> 00:49:49,279
Speaker 4: if they win this. I do want to give a

1100
00:49:49,360 --> 00:49:51,880
Speaker 4: quick shout out. Elijah Canty was a defensive Rookie of

1101
00:49:51,880 --> 00:49:54,279
Speaker 4: the Month in the NFC last week, and man, he

1102
00:49:54,360 --> 00:49:56,200
Speaker 4: was flashing last week. So that looks like a very

1103
00:49:56,280 --> 00:49:58,760
Speaker 4: nice pick there by the books. Good job, Elijah.

1104
00:49:58,400 --> 00:50:03,440
Speaker 3: Knt A right, Uh, keep moving, Let's keep moving. Please

1105
00:50:03,520 --> 00:50:05,000
Speaker 3: keep moving. Mark back to you.

1106
00:50:05,320 --> 00:50:07,440
Speaker 5: All right, I'm gonna take an early game and go

1107
00:50:07,680 --> 00:50:14,960
Speaker 5: Browns at Jaguars. Uh tbd on the Jaguars starting quarterback.

1108
00:50:15,000 --> 00:50:16,200
Speaker 5: I don't think we're gonna get them.

1109
00:50:16,200 --> 00:50:17,960
Speaker 3: What do you think? Like it sounds to me like

1110
00:50:18,000 --> 00:50:18,680
Speaker 3: a real stretch.

1111
00:50:18,719 --> 00:50:21,719
Speaker 2: It's really difficult for us where we're taping to state

1112
00:50:21,840 --> 00:50:23,360
Speaker 2: it one way or the other. But he's got a

1113
00:50:23,440 --> 00:50:25,319
Speaker 2: high ankle spread. Yeah, I think that's a lot on

1114
00:50:25,360 --> 00:50:28,560
Speaker 2: a short week. I think they've talked about it fifty fifty.

1115
00:50:28,640 --> 00:50:29,440
Speaker 2: They've talked about it.

1116
00:50:29,400 --> 00:50:32,160
Speaker 5: In like a weird fashion where it's like they're guiding hope.

1117
00:50:32,560 --> 00:50:33,480
Speaker 3: I am totally with you.

1118
00:50:33,520 --> 00:50:35,200
Speaker 5: I don't know how like even the human body would

1119
00:50:35,239 --> 00:50:37,560
Speaker 5: do that, although those high ankle sprains are all different.

1120
00:50:38,080 --> 00:50:42,839
Speaker 5: So you're gonna get CJ. Bethard in Cleveland. I think, yeah,

1121
00:50:44,239 --> 00:50:45,279
Speaker 5: I did not used to say that.

1122
00:50:45,600 --> 00:50:48,960
Speaker 3: Now, did you see Brett Rippian signed with the Jets.

1123
00:50:49,280 --> 00:50:51,600
Speaker 5: I'll shift to say Brett Rippon now if you really,

1124
00:50:51,640 --> 00:50:53,799
Speaker 5: if I must be, you know, told how to how

1125
00:50:53,800 --> 00:50:56,440
Speaker 5: to say things, go ahead.

1126
00:50:56,520 --> 00:50:57,880
Speaker 3: I know beth Hard.

1127
00:50:59,320 --> 00:51:02,319
Speaker 5: Beth Third, he yes, I mean he was okay when

1128
00:51:02,320 --> 00:51:05,640
Speaker 5: he played, I mean incredible Washington general manager.

1129
00:51:05,760 --> 00:51:08,320
Speaker 2: You know, he almost fumbled away the first nap of

1130
00:51:08,360 --> 00:51:09,640
Speaker 2: the game and would have lost the game.

1131
00:51:09,680 --> 00:51:11,520
Speaker 3: But he didn't. He wasn't out of his game. He

1132
00:51:11,560 --> 00:51:12,680
Speaker 3: wasn't bad. That was a weird game.

1133
00:51:12,719 --> 00:51:14,480
Speaker 5: I mean, it's a weird place to say the game, Like,

1134
00:51:15,000 --> 00:51:18,359
Speaker 5: I kind of think that, you know, Cleveland's defense has

1135
00:51:18,400 --> 00:51:22,399
Speaker 5: floated away. The Denver game was was unappealing. Last week

1136
00:51:22,480 --> 00:51:26,000
Speaker 5: was unappealing. I don't believe that Miles Garrett is healthy,

1137
00:51:26,400 --> 00:51:29,760
Speaker 5: Amari Cooper is banged up on offense, like Flacco looked

1138
00:51:30,320 --> 00:51:33,759
Speaker 5: probably as good as you could possibly hope for last week,

1139
00:51:33,800 --> 00:51:38,239
Speaker 5: outside of the one fatal interception that doomed them. I

1140
00:51:38,560 --> 00:51:41,400
Speaker 5: feel like Cleveland's just trending down out of this playoff

1141
00:51:41,480 --> 00:51:43,320
Speaker 5: race a little bit. And so this is an incredibly

1142
00:51:43,360 --> 00:51:47,680
Speaker 5: important game and they're fortunate to face potentially a backup quarterback.

1143
00:51:48,080 --> 00:51:50,520
Speaker 5: I don't trust them. I think their defense is veering

1144
00:51:50,560 --> 00:51:51,400
Speaker 5: away from special.

1145
00:51:51,480 --> 00:51:51,880
Speaker 3: They do it.

1146
00:51:51,880 --> 00:51:54,759
Speaker 5: They have dendel ward back, which matters, but they've been

1147
00:51:54,800 --> 00:51:57,799
Speaker 5: banged up. But it's like they are literally the same.

1148
00:51:59,480 --> 00:52:02,319
Speaker 5: You know that you're at home, right, But they have

1149
00:52:02,400 --> 00:52:03,040
Speaker 5: been the worst.

1150
00:52:02,920 --> 00:52:06,040
Speaker 4: Kind of these numbers, but they've been the second quarterback.

1151
00:52:06,080 --> 00:52:06,160
Speaker 2: Right.

1152
00:52:06,200 --> 00:52:09,760
Speaker 5: They've been the second worst passing team in the league,

1153
00:52:10,440 --> 00:52:12,719
Speaker 5: second or third all year long, and it's looked like

1154
00:52:12,760 --> 00:52:14,640
Speaker 5: it they're about to become the Browns. They were about

1155
00:52:15,800 --> 00:52:18,920
Speaker 5: an offense, an offense, not an offense, and like they were.

1156
00:52:19,040 --> 00:52:21,839
Speaker 5: There's a weird stat if Lacco starts and you will,

1157
00:52:21,960 --> 00:52:25,880
Speaker 5: like they will become just the thirteenth team since nineteen fifty,

1158
00:52:25,920 --> 00:52:28,640
Speaker 5: which is seventy three years ago, to have four different

1159
00:52:28,920 --> 00:52:30,880
Speaker 5: quarterbacks starting multiple games in a season.

1160
00:52:31,239 --> 00:52:33,240
Speaker 3: A lot of us to go wrong for that to happen.

1161
00:52:33,280 --> 00:52:35,880
Speaker 5: So and from that angle, I'd give Kevin Stefanski, the

1162
00:52:35,920 --> 00:52:38,279
Speaker 5: coaching staff, and the team a lot of credit to

1163
00:52:38,360 --> 00:52:40,040
Speaker 5: even be where they are and still in the hunt

1164
00:52:40,080 --> 00:52:40,960
Speaker 5: at the number six six?

1165
00:52:41,239 --> 00:52:41,719
Speaker 3: Is it just me?

1166
00:52:42,239 --> 00:52:44,319
Speaker 2: Has Cleveland gotten a lot of these games where a

1167
00:52:44,360 --> 00:52:46,200
Speaker 2: starter gets hurt and then they all of a sudden

1168
00:52:46,280 --> 00:52:48,239
Speaker 2: are playing. Yeah, but you know what, if you look

1169
00:52:48,280 --> 00:52:50,560
Speaker 2: at all these playoff teams, Yeah, they've all gotten that

1170
00:52:50,640 --> 00:52:53,480
Speaker 2: those games. The whole league has gotten those. It's not

1171
00:52:53,520 --> 00:52:55,920
Speaker 2: they're not especially Let's see that data point, right.

1172
00:52:55,960 --> 00:52:58,320
Speaker 5: They've also been the team that's been without their starting

1173
00:52:58,360 --> 00:53:00,920
Speaker 5: quarterback like through ay percent of the season.

1174
00:53:01,000 --> 00:53:04,520
Speaker 2: So well, I guess what I'm saying is with their defense,

1175
00:53:05,239 --> 00:53:07,399
Speaker 2: that is, I think something similar happened with the Jets

1176
00:53:07,480 --> 00:53:07,799
Speaker 2: last year.

1177
00:53:07,840 --> 00:53:09,080
Speaker 3: Then they got a lot of backup kind of.

1178
00:53:09,800 --> 00:53:11,200
Speaker 2: I mean, they have been a they have been a

1179
00:53:11,200 --> 00:53:15,480
Speaker 2: good defense when they when they've had bigger matchups and

1180
00:53:15,800 --> 00:53:16,560
Speaker 2: scarier teams.

1181
00:53:16,600 --> 00:53:18,760
Speaker 3: The defense of a sudden doesn't look so historic anymore.

1182
00:53:18,800 --> 00:53:21,560
Speaker 5: So, but take care of business here, let us go, well,

1183
00:53:21,560 --> 00:53:24,319
Speaker 5: what happened to Jacksonville's defense against a backup last week?

1184
00:53:24,320 --> 00:53:24,480
Speaker 3: Why?

1185
00:53:25,120 --> 00:53:28,680
Speaker 4: I've never totally bought in to the Jacksonville's defense. I

1186
00:53:28,680 --> 00:53:30,799
Speaker 4: think they're I think they're solid, but I would be

1187
00:53:30,840 --> 00:53:33,279
Speaker 4: worried about them Tyson Campbell, who is supposed to be

1188
00:53:33,320 --> 00:53:35,799
Speaker 4: their number one corner, really good player, but then got

1189
00:53:35,840 --> 00:53:38,919
Speaker 4: hurt and came off that injury and just didn't seem right.

1190
00:53:39,120 --> 00:53:43,360
Speaker 4: Last week, Joe Flacco threw the ball downfield ten plus yards,

1191
00:53:43,400 --> 00:53:46,840
Speaker 4: more than any Browns quarterback in the last five years.

1192
00:53:46,880 --> 00:53:49,799
Speaker 4: So he's out there and he's got to sling it,

1193
00:53:50,080 --> 00:53:52,480
Speaker 4: and you need good pass protection to get that. And

1194
00:53:52,680 --> 00:53:55,800
Speaker 4: teams playing against the Jaguars usually get pretty good pass

1195
00:53:55,800 --> 00:53:59,480
Speaker 4: protection because it's Josh Allen and that's about it in

1196
00:53:59,560 --> 00:54:02,640
Speaker 4: terms of their pass rushers. Overall, one of the most

1197
00:54:02,640 --> 00:54:06,359
Speaker 4: disappointing pass rush teams in the league. And I really

1198
00:54:06,360 --> 00:54:08,960
Speaker 4: think that Christian Kirk injury and maybe Walker little because

1199
00:54:08,960 --> 00:54:11,360
Speaker 4: now they're on their third left tackle, got a little

1200
00:54:11,360 --> 00:54:14,480
Speaker 4: overlooked because of Trevor, and it's disappointing. Trevor was playing

1201
00:54:14,480 --> 00:54:18,040
Speaker 4: so well the three weeks before that injury, but losing

1202
00:54:18,160 --> 00:54:22,319
Speaker 4: Kirk and Trevor and potentially your left tackle like that

1203
00:54:22,480 --> 00:54:25,360
Speaker 4: is a that's a cascading. I know I'm not locking

1204
00:54:25,440 --> 00:54:27,080
Speaker 4: up the Browns, but they are favored by three in

1205
00:54:27,120 --> 00:54:28,640
Speaker 4: this game. I don't know if that makes you feel

1206
00:54:28,640 --> 00:54:31,360
Speaker 4: any better. I mean that the spread never makes me

1207
00:54:31,440 --> 00:54:34,719
Speaker 4: feel anything. Okay, I'm just saying, there's not real life

1208
00:54:34,719 --> 00:54:37,480
Speaker 4: and they're They're not underdogs in this game by any means,

1209
00:54:37,520 --> 00:54:38,120
Speaker 4: is what I'm saying.

1210
00:54:39,840 --> 00:54:41,040
Speaker 3: Aspice don't.

1211
00:54:42,400 --> 00:54:45,160
Speaker 5: I'll say one thing that we are doing we again,

1212
00:54:46,160 --> 00:54:49,640
Speaker 5: I don't know. It is like I combined with Spice Rack, yes,

1213
00:54:49,760 --> 00:54:52,600
Speaker 5: the longtime lifelong friend of Chris Wesling and our friend

1214
00:54:52,640 --> 00:54:55,840
Speaker 5: as well. We combine now to make picks on the

1215
00:54:55,920 --> 00:54:59,520
Speaker 5: NFL's website. And what we've done has gone totally rogue

1216
00:54:59,520 --> 00:55:01,799
Speaker 5: from but you'd hope people would do Like this week,

1217
00:55:01,840 --> 00:55:04,400
Speaker 5: we were the only team that picked the Titans, and

1218
00:55:04,480 --> 00:55:06,600
Speaker 5: so you get that fan base all on your side.

1219
00:55:06,719 --> 00:55:09,600
Speaker 5: But then last week Spice Rack and I you know,

1220
00:55:09,680 --> 00:55:12,320
Speaker 5: this was he. I think he had a post Joe Burrow.

1221
00:55:12,320 --> 00:55:14,320
Speaker 5: He was anti Bengals and he picked them to lose

1222
00:55:14,520 --> 00:55:17,680
Speaker 5: thirty three to nothing, and I go, that went poorly.

1223
00:55:17,760 --> 00:55:18,560
Speaker 3: As we all know.

1224
00:55:18,920 --> 00:55:20,520
Speaker 5: The way the way that game turned out, there are

1225
00:55:20,560 --> 00:55:22,920
Speaker 5: a lot of people tweeting both of us asking, you know,

1226
00:55:22,960 --> 00:55:24,040
Speaker 5: what on earth is happening here?

1227
00:55:24,080 --> 00:55:27,000
Speaker 2: So I reached out to some people behind the scenes here,

1228
00:55:27,160 --> 00:55:30,920
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, great to get where they actually rank in

1229
00:55:30,960 --> 00:55:31,880
Speaker 2: the standing.

1230
00:55:31,600 --> 00:55:34,160
Speaker 4: Because the standings, say the top five and then it's

1231
00:55:34,200 --> 00:55:36,879
Speaker 4: like a participation or they won't list six through dead

1232
00:55:36,960 --> 00:55:37,600
Speaker 4: for some reason.

1233
00:55:38,080 --> 00:55:41,040
Speaker 2: And this, this is this is actually good and bad

1234
00:55:41,080 --> 00:55:46,160
Speaker 2: for you, ye Mark, Okay. The good thing is we

1235
00:55:46,239 --> 00:55:48,600
Speaker 2: don't know where you actually are on the standing. Okay, good,

1236
00:55:48,600 --> 00:55:52,040
Speaker 2: that is good because this person that I reached out

1237
00:55:52,080 --> 00:55:56,719
Speaker 2: to didn't feel comfortable giving me the full rundown. The

1238
00:55:56,760 --> 00:55:58,799
Speaker 2: bad news is it must be really bad for him

1239
00:55:58,800 --> 00:55:59,279
Speaker 2: not to do that.

1240
00:56:00,160 --> 00:56:02,560
Speaker 5: So I don't disagree, but I will, and I say,

1241
00:56:02,800 --> 00:56:03,959
Speaker 5: like from the angle, if.

1242
00:56:03,840 --> 00:56:05,520
Speaker 2: You were one game out of fifth, he probably would

1243
00:56:05,560 --> 00:56:08,560
Speaker 2: have told used to play this just to be real.

1244
00:56:08,600 --> 00:56:11,120
Speaker 5: And like when Greg goes and makes picks on his

1245
00:56:11,160 --> 00:56:15,040
Speaker 5: television show, right he is, You're like, You're so He's

1246
00:56:15,280 --> 00:56:17,400
Speaker 5: It's his entire world is based.

1247
00:56:17,160 --> 00:56:19,239
Speaker 3: Around that, Right, that's what you think?

1248
00:56:19,320 --> 00:56:22,719
Speaker 5: Yeah, Sess and Spice picked four overtimes this game over

1249
00:56:22,760 --> 00:56:26,680
Speaker 5: time games with him. We just like we picked the

1250
00:56:26,680 --> 00:56:30,000
Speaker 5: biggest underdogs. We can to create that moment out online

1251
00:56:30,000 --> 00:56:32,319
Speaker 5: where it's like the only team picking, like.

1252
00:56:33,080 --> 00:56:35,360
Speaker 2: Tommy Lee Jones take us away here. I shouldn't have

1253
00:56:35,360 --> 00:56:35,920
Speaker 2: brought it up.

1254
00:56:36,560 --> 00:56:39,040
Speaker 3: It's called being a showman. Show Men. There are two

1255
00:56:39,080 --> 00:56:41,640
Speaker 3: of us. The internet's on fire.

1256
00:56:42,160 --> 00:56:45,279
Speaker 2: All right, I'm I wouldn't say that, but all right,

1257
00:56:45,360 --> 00:56:48,359
Speaker 2: I got a two pack here. Let's start with the

1258
00:56:48,440 --> 00:56:51,640
Speaker 2: team of around the NFL. Let's get a little Dick Banks,

1259
00:56:51,680 --> 00:56:54,160
Speaker 2: let's hear him, Let's let's let's go, let's go.

1260
00:56:54,239 --> 00:56:59,680
Speaker 3: It's time. It's time for the Vikings.

1261
00:57:01,200 --> 00:57:12,360
Speaker 2: To show us why they could take that down. I

1262
00:57:12,360 --> 00:57:16,720
Speaker 2: I like that they I like that O'Connell stuck with Dobbs.

1263
00:57:17,440 --> 00:57:19,280
Speaker 3: Yes, because.

1264
00:57:20,400 --> 00:57:23,080
Speaker 2: Yes, it was a wretched Monday night game. And is

1265
00:57:23,120 --> 00:57:27,680
Speaker 2: that within Dobbs's rainbow of outcomes? Yeah, we got the

1266
00:57:27,680 --> 00:57:32,400
Speaker 2: worst ops. But let's not forget that Josh Dobbs has

1267
00:57:32,440 --> 00:57:34,920
Speaker 2: done a lot of good things for the Vikings before that.

1268
00:57:35,120 --> 00:57:37,080
Speaker 3: And before you.

1269
00:57:37,120 --> 00:57:39,520
Speaker 2: Go and get so caught up in your feelings about

1270
00:57:39,520 --> 00:57:42,360
Speaker 2: how poorly played in that Bears game, let's give him

1271
00:57:42,360 --> 00:57:45,080
Speaker 2: a chance with Justin Jefferson. And if things don't work

1272
00:57:45,480 --> 00:57:49,200
Speaker 2: against a Raiders team that is middling at best, go ahead.

1273
00:57:49,560 --> 00:57:51,520
Speaker 2: If you're so excited about the rest of your depth

1274
00:57:51,560 --> 00:57:54,360
Speaker 2: chart that you've been developing, I understand it that these

1275
00:57:54,520 --> 00:57:57,720
Speaker 2: coaches are excited about the guys on the depth chart typically,

1276
00:57:58,080 --> 00:58:02,520
Speaker 2: So go ahead, but give chance. So the Vikings, who

1277
00:58:02,560 --> 00:58:05,440
Speaker 2: seem to be in the driver's seat mark for a

1278
00:58:05,480 --> 00:58:08,080
Speaker 2: wild card spot. Now kind of you need this win

1279
00:58:08,200 --> 00:58:11,200
Speaker 2: because I could see this spinning out for them if

1280
00:58:11,240 --> 00:58:12,960
Speaker 2: they don't find a way to win on the road

1281
00:58:12,960 --> 00:58:13,840
Speaker 2: here against the Raiders.

1282
00:58:13,920 --> 00:58:17,720
Speaker 5: I think it's like we celebrated Josh Dobbs for in

1283
00:58:17,880 --> 00:58:22,040
Speaker 5: multiple spots over the past calendar year rolling into town

1284
00:58:22,440 --> 00:58:25,320
Speaker 5: and like winning games three hours after showing up and

1285
00:58:25,360 --> 00:58:27,760
Speaker 5: like putting in a uniform on, and then it's like

1286
00:58:27,840 --> 00:58:29,880
Speaker 5: it's unacceptable that he has a meltdown. It's like it

1287
00:58:29,920 --> 00:58:32,640
Speaker 5: seems very probable that a meltdown would occur and it

1288
00:58:33,160 --> 00:58:33,880
Speaker 5: didn't look good.

1289
00:58:34,120 --> 00:58:35,480
Speaker 3: But I still think the things that.

1290
00:58:35,960 --> 00:58:39,280
Speaker 5: We know about Josh Dobbs remain true, like an incredibly

1291
00:58:39,480 --> 00:58:42,520
Speaker 5: smart quarterback, a guy who probably over the course of

1292
00:58:42,560 --> 00:58:45,520
Speaker 5: the bye week that came at the perfect time, has

1293
00:58:45,640 --> 00:58:48,280
Speaker 5: learned a lot more than other quarterbacks might over that course.

1294
00:58:48,280 --> 00:58:50,880
Speaker 5: At that time that the coach something happened where if

1295
00:58:50,960 --> 00:58:53,000
Speaker 5: you know, if O'Connell lost faith to them in that

1296
00:58:53,080 --> 00:58:54,520
Speaker 5: moment and that was that You're right, Greg that you

1297
00:58:54,560 --> 00:58:57,520
Speaker 5: mentioned it on Wednesday, show a terrible fourth pick, But

1298
00:58:57,880 --> 00:58:59,960
Speaker 5: like this is a quarterback you can still believe in

1299
00:59:00,000 --> 00:59:02,760
Speaker 5: it's bet on the other options. Justin Jefferson is practicing

1300
00:59:02,840 --> 00:59:05,520
Speaker 5: in full for the first time, you know, in eight weeks.

1301
00:59:05,560 --> 00:59:07,600
Speaker 5: Like it's arrow up and I don't know how you

1302
00:59:07,640 --> 00:59:10,040
Speaker 5: could possibly argue to go to a different quarterback. You

1303
00:59:10,120 --> 00:59:13,040
Speaker 5: should beat this Raiders team. I don't really care that

1304
00:59:13,040 --> 00:59:15,240
Speaker 5: it's on the road that much. It's like the Vikings

1305
00:59:15,240 --> 00:59:18,360
Speaker 5: to me are spicier on defense, Like there's just let's go,

1306
00:59:18,520 --> 00:59:20,280
Speaker 5: let's just get back to who we were right.

1307
00:59:21,240 --> 00:59:22,720
Speaker 3: Here's what we know about the Vikings.

1308
00:59:22,760 --> 00:59:26,600
Speaker 4: With Jefferson back, him and Addison are up there with

1309
00:59:26,640 --> 00:59:28,920
Speaker 4: the best one to two combinations in the league.

1310
00:59:29,240 --> 00:59:30,520
Speaker 3: Addison's a big time player.

1311
00:59:30,720 --> 00:59:34,400
Speaker 4: I love I love Addison. Hockinson's having a really nice season.

1312
00:59:35,200 --> 00:59:38,320
Speaker 4: Josh Dobbs adds a little bit to their running game,

1313
00:59:38,360 --> 00:59:42,240
Speaker 4: which has struggled, but his running ability is gonna add

1314
00:59:42,280 --> 00:59:45,120
Speaker 4: a little spice to this whole mix. Kevin O'Connell's a

1315
00:59:45,120 --> 00:59:47,000
Speaker 4: good head coach. We know he's a good head coach,

1316
00:59:47,000 --> 00:59:48,920
Speaker 4: and he's had a week to get ready. And oh,

1317
00:59:48,960 --> 00:59:50,560
Speaker 4: by the way, on the other side of the ball,

1318
00:59:50,720 --> 00:59:53,760
Speaker 4: you got safeties coming out of your pockets. Well, how

1319
00:59:53,800 --> 00:59:57,080
Speaker 4: many safeties can you put on the field seventeen, Brian

1320
00:59:57,160 --> 00:59:58,760
Speaker 4: Flores will do it.

1321
00:59:59,040 --> 00:59:59,919
Speaker 3: And you know who's been.

1322
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:03,919
Speaker 4: Tickets this week to Las Vegas Minnesota Vikings. Oh yeah,

1323
01:00:04,480 --> 01:00:07,520
Speaker 4: sick of being in that cold weather up there, and

1324
01:00:07,560 --> 01:00:10,680
Speaker 4: they're going down to Vegas and they're gonna watch the Vikings.

1325
01:00:10,800 --> 01:00:15,320
Speaker 3: Lock it up? Same, double it up? Are you doing

1326
01:00:15,320 --> 01:00:21,520
Speaker 3: this again? Double it up? And another one and another one.

1327
01:00:21,680 --> 01:00:24,680
Speaker 5: You cannot be doing this again with Gregy.

1328
01:00:24,960 --> 01:00:28,000
Speaker 2: Let's check out the standings by the way while we're here,

1329
01:00:29,360 --> 01:00:32,160
Speaker 2: all right, So we got Greg Dan twelve and one,

1330
01:00:33,120 --> 01:00:37,439
Speaker 2: the West three, Sessler seven six, and then Dan hands

1331
01:00:37,440 --> 01:00:39,320
Speaker 2: a six and seven quotes.

1332
01:00:39,360 --> 01:00:41,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, you gotta watch with you. Well, I thought the

1333
01:00:41,360 --> 01:00:42,360
Speaker 3: season here.

1334
01:00:42,360 --> 01:00:46,240
Speaker 4: You're inconsistent here because you only joined me a week ago.

1335
01:00:46,680 --> 01:00:49,320
Speaker 2: So you're says Greg and Dan twelve, Dan are one.

1336
01:00:50,360 --> 01:00:54,120
Speaker 2: I'm not responsible for the graphics. Okay, yes you are.

1337
01:00:54,600 --> 01:00:57,040
Speaker 2: You are. We are having a very nice season, and

1338
01:00:57,120 --> 01:00:58,280
Speaker 2: let's just close it out.

1339
01:00:58,320 --> 01:00:58,840
Speaker 3: I guess it is all.

1340
01:00:58,920 --> 01:01:01,520
Speaker 4: I mean, there's a lot of weeks to go. I'm

1341
01:01:01,560 --> 01:01:03,520
Speaker 4: fine with you on board. I have to admit you've

1342
01:01:03,560 --> 01:01:07,000
Speaker 4: already won in some ways because you're you. I thought

1343
01:01:07,040 --> 01:01:10,720
Speaker 4: about you this morning as I debated at the Jets.

1344
01:01:10,920 --> 01:01:12,520
Speaker 3: I thought about, I tell you're going to do that.

1345
01:01:12,600 --> 01:01:15,280
Speaker 4: I thought about flocking against the Jets. It's only three

1346
01:01:15,320 --> 01:01:18,320
Speaker 4: and a half. Uh, And then I was like, that'll

1347
01:01:18,320 --> 01:01:19,520
Speaker 4: make you annoyed.

1348
01:01:19,520 --> 01:01:21,440
Speaker 3: But then I thought, what if the Jets will actually

1349
01:01:21,480 --> 01:01:22,160
Speaker 3: will be happy?

1350
01:01:22,480 --> 01:01:25,320
Speaker 4: And then it was But you know what, I ultimately

1351
01:01:25,360 --> 01:01:28,640
Speaker 4: am a cold, calculating son of a gun, and in

1352
01:01:28,840 --> 01:01:32,480
Speaker 4: my heart I believe in the Vikings winning that game

1353
01:01:32,520 --> 01:01:34,600
Speaker 4: more than I do in the Texans. Actually, in my heart,

1354
01:01:34,760 --> 01:01:37,920
Speaker 4: I do believe the Vikings are the best pick on

1355
01:01:37,960 --> 01:01:39,720
Speaker 4: the board. That's what I always do. I don't I

1356
01:01:39,720 --> 01:01:42,280
Speaker 4: don't I picked. I'm not a showman. As you point out,

1357
01:01:42,280 --> 01:01:43,919
Speaker 4: it happened to work out that I'm believing in team

1358
01:01:43,920 --> 01:01:45,840
Speaker 4: of BTL. But I believe they are a much better

1359
01:01:45,880 --> 01:01:47,680
Speaker 4: team than the Raiders, who might be you know, Max

1360
01:01:47,760 --> 01:01:49,160
Speaker 4: Crosby's that practicing, Colton Miller.

1361
01:01:49,160 --> 01:01:51,000
Speaker 3: I believe they're better. We don't want to we don't

1362
01:01:51,000 --> 01:01:52,840
Speaker 3: want to do a rain maker on the Texas this week.

1363
01:01:53,200 --> 01:01:56,160
Speaker 3: I think you and I can get behind that. This

1364
01:01:56,200 --> 01:01:56,880
Speaker 3: is some sortin Uh.

1365
01:01:57,680 --> 01:02:00,160
Speaker 5: The thing that's terrible for Greg is that no matter what,

1366
01:02:00,200 --> 01:02:03,240
Speaker 5: great let's say, Greg, no matter what, like it will

1367
01:02:03,280 --> 01:02:07,760
Speaker 5: go down his history as a COVID. Within a month,

1368
01:02:07,800 --> 01:02:09,720
Speaker 5: you will have, you know, spun the message that you

1369
01:02:09,760 --> 01:02:10,560
Speaker 5: lifted Greg up.

1370
01:02:10,440 --> 01:02:12,560
Speaker 2: Down the stot. I know, I know, I am anna ask.

1371
01:02:12,920 --> 01:02:15,080
Speaker 2: I just want everyone to when I'm gone one day,

1372
01:02:15,080 --> 01:02:18,200
Speaker 2: to remember me as a lovable act. That's that's all

1373
01:02:18,240 --> 01:02:21,560
Speaker 2: I ask, Not the bad kind that works out.

1374
01:02:21,520 --> 01:02:24,960
Speaker 4: Okay one Raiders not just to give them their fans

1375
01:02:25,040 --> 01:02:28,160
Speaker 4: just just one second about their team. I'm intrigue Bay

1376
01:02:28,160 --> 01:02:29,800
Speaker 4: and O'Connell coming off that last Chief's game.

1377
01:02:29,800 --> 01:02:33,400
Speaker 3: Played very well in that game. He has been in general,

1378
01:02:34,120 --> 01:02:37,360
Speaker 3: been a professional unit. Spot. It is a tough spot

1379
01:02:37,520 --> 01:02:39,880
Speaker 3: under against Flores two.

1380
01:02:40,080 --> 01:02:43,880
Speaker 4: Uh again uh Patriots, the coaching trees so bad. How

1381
01:02:43,920 --> 01:02:47,760
Speaker 4: about a little Patriots assistant off here, Patrick Graham of

1382
01:02:47,800 --> 01:02:50,440
Speaker 4: the Raiders, the defensive coordinator versus Brian Flores.

1383
01:02:50,520 --> 01:02:51,320
Speaker 3: Now that's a cell.

1384
01:02:52,440 --> 01:02:55,960
Speaker 2: That is a cell any time assistance together anything else

1385
01:02:55,960 --> 01:02:56,400
Speaker 2: on this game.

1386
01:02:56,480 --> 01:02:59,160
Speaker 3: So what are the chances we get Jefferson? I think

1387
01:02:59,200 --> 01:02:59,840
Speaker 3: one hundred percent.

1388
01:03:00,120 --> 01:03:01,680
Speaker 2: I mean I think they I think they wouldn't be

1389
01:03:01,760 --> 01:03:06,439
Speaker 2: doing this practic officially active. This was for me when

1390
01:03:06,480 --> 01:03:10,000
Speaker 2: I I felt good about team of atn Jefferson returning

1391
01:03:10,160 --> 01:03:12,720
Speaker 2: was kind of like pushed it over the finish line

1392
01:03:12,800 --> 01:03:15,040
Speaker 2: because there's not a more fun wide receiver to watch

1393
01:03:15,040 --> 01:03:16,120
Speaker 2: in the sport double j.

1394
01:03:16,320 --> 01:03:19,680
Speaker 5: The team of aten Brand needs this win big time.

1395
01:03:21,000 --> 01:03:23,240
Speaker 2: Pretty good narrative if they lose too, because we get

1396
01:03:23,280 --> 01:03:26,400
Speaker 2: to go down though. See you spiraled once upon a

1397
01:03:26,440 --> 01:03:29,320
Speaker 2: time with the Vikings. I could see entertainment value out

1398
01:03:29,320 --> 01:03:30,600
Speaker 2: of this team spiraling as well.

1399
01:03:30,800 --> 01:03:31,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, but it's not on me.

1400
01:03:32,160 --> 01:03:34,280
Speaker 2: I was getting blamed left and right like, oh you

1401
01:03:35,480 --> 01:03:37,280
Speaker 2: we voted, No, we voted unanimously.

1402
01:03:37,320 --> 01:03:38,480
Speaker 3: But it's well Mark made a.

1403
01:03:40,360 --> 01:03:42,440
Speaker 5: Getting like all right now I'm getting text left and

1404
01:03:42,520 --> 01:03:44,120
Speaker 5: right about like a team that I have nothing to

1405
01:03:44,160 --> 01:03:45,880
Speaker 5: do with this failing, Like this is not I'm not

1406
01:03:45,920 --> 01:03:47,600
Speaker 5: that vicariously attached anything.

1407
01:03:47,640 --> 01:03:52,320
Speaker 3: So are you? Are you attached to the Vikings this time? Yes?

1408
01:03:52,440 --> 01:03:55,320
Speaker 5: I really like the Josh Dobbs element the most. That's

1409
01:03:55,320 --> 01:03:57,600
Speaker 5: what pulled me in. Yes, all we need to hear

1410
01:03:57,640 --> 01:04:00,520
Speaker 5: because we're in this together. I'm not said a single

1411
01:04:00,520 --> 01:04:02,880
Speaker 5: word otherwise. I say they needed, they need to create

1412
01:04:02,880 --> 01:04:03,600
Speaker 5: a little more juice.

1413
01:04:03,640 --> 01:04:05,120
Speaker 2: And you know, it was probably a really it was

1414
01:04:05,160 --> 01:04:10,560
Speaker 2: probably a really rough two weeks for Flores and for O'Connell,

1415
01:04:11,040 --> 01:04:13,600
Speaker 2: who blew that game together as much as anyone on

1416
01:04:13,600 --> 01:04:16,640
Speaker 2: the field, and you had to sit with that and

1417
01:04:16,760 --> 01:04:19,800
Speaker 2: stew over that for all that time. So I know

1418
01:04:19,840 --> 01:04:22,520
Speaker 2: that they're not going to coach harder on Sunday. But

1419
01:04:23,000 --> 01:04:25,920
Speaker 2: you know, if you've ever been motivated to cut your

1420
01:04:25,920 --> 01:04:29,000
Speaker 2: own mess, they're more talented, they're better. I feel good

1421
01:04:29,000 --> 01:04:31,160
Speaker 2: about this one, Gregory. I think we're gonna keep on rolling.

1422
01:04:31,920 --> 01:04:34,040
Speaker 2: I will keep on rolling. Did we say the spread

1423
01:04:34,080 --> 01:04:37,760
Speaker 2: on that one? By the way, yeah, Vikings, Okay, let's

1424
01:04:37,840 --> 01:04:41,080
Speaker 2: keep on roll. Let's talk about that Texans Jets game.

1425
01:04:41,680 --> 01:04:45,080
Speaker 2: It is Texans. The spread. The line actually moved down

1426
01:04:46,160 --> 01:04:49,440
Speaker 2: with the announcement from Robert Saw that Zach.

1427
01:04:49,280 --> 01:04:52,880
Speaker 3: Wilson is playing. That was interesting. I think it's it's fair.

1428
01:04:52,960 --> 01:04:56,480
Speaker 2: It's fascinating because Wilson was, you know, amongst the very

1429
01:04:56,480 --> 01:04:59,240
Speaker 2: worst starters in the league before he got benched. But

1430
01:04:59,320 --> 01:05:02,440
Speaker 2: that tells you how badly the Jets manage their backup

1431
01:05:02,520 --> 01:05:07,120
Speaker 2: quarterbacks underneath him, to the point where they cut Tim

1432
01:05:07,160 --> 01:05:08,080
Speaker 2: Boyle this week.

1433
01:05:08,440 --> 01:05:10,640
Speaker 3: Tim Boyle was their starter on Sunday.

1434
01:05:11,080 --> 01:05:13,840
Speaker 2: Not they just said, oh, you know this guy that

1435
01:05:13,880 --> 01:05:17,360
Speaker 2: we brought in and developed all through the offseason, Aaron

1436
01:05:17,440 --> 01:05:19,800
Speaker 2: Rodgers is a guy like has such little value.

1437
01:05:19,800 --> 01:05:21,720
Speaker 3: After we got to look at him, he gone.

1438
01:05:22,080 --> 01:05:25,760
Speaker 2: So now they got Brett Rippin, who, by the way,

1439
01:05:25,920 --> 01:05:29,560
Speaker 2: was talking with our friend Jordan Rodrigue of the Athletic

1440
01:05:30,040 --> 01:05:33,000
Speaker 2: Rippin is a class act and a really good dude

1441
01:05:33,360 --> 01:05:36,880
Speaker 2: and a hard worker. But the hope for Sala is

1442
01:05:36,960 --> 01:05:38,960
Speaker 2: that Wilson takes them to the finish line and they

1443
01:05:38,960 --> 01:05:42,200
Speaker 2: could get a couple wins here and keep their dignity.

1444
01:05:42,360 --> 01:05:43,040
Speaker 3: The Texans.

1445
01:05:43,160 --> 01:05:46,439
Speaker 2: This is there the story here. Nice set up here

1446
01:05:46,560 --> 01:05:51,440
Speaker 2: for them. Greg to keep rolling. Now, it is interesting.

1447
01:05:51,440 --> 01:05:53,360
Speaker 2: We are now in the in the post tank Dell

1448
01:05:53,440 --> 01:05:57,560
Speaker 2: era and how does that change their offense moving forward?

1449
01:05:57,800 --> 01:06:03,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, I want to see Mechi or Robert Woods step up.

1450
01:06:03,480 --> 01:06:04,760
Speaker 3: I don't think they'll be the same.

1451
01:06:05,560 --> 01:06:09,080
Speaker 4: When you take away Dell, you just you're stacking parts

1452
01:06:09,120 --> 01:06:12,480
Speaker 4: of this team offensively that you do worry about a

1453
01:06:12,520 --> 01:06:14,520
Speaker 4: little bit. You don't have a running game, and then

1454
01:06:14,520 --> 01:06:17,160
Speaker 4: you don't really have great receiver depth. If Dalton Saltz

1455
01:06:17,240 --> 01:06:20,760
Speaker 4: isn't back this week behind Nico Collins, because I'm thinking

1456
01:06:20,760 --> 01:06:21,400
Speaker 4: of that play.

1457
01:06:21,240 --> 01:06:22,200
Speaker 3: At the end of the first half.

1458
01:06:22,240 --> 01:06:24,760
Speaker 4: I believe it was where Stroud over threw Machi for

1459
01:06:24,800 --> 01:06:27,920
Speaker 4: the touchdown wide open, and everyone was like, oh that,

1460
01:06:28,120 --> 01:06:31,080
Speaker 4: you know, Stroud making a mistake for once, and I

1461
01:06:31,080 --> 01:06:34,320
Speaker 4: did wonder if that's Tank Dell. Yeah, it was kind

1462
01:06:34,320 --> 01:06:36,480
Speaker 4: of like an improvised play. Would just the feel have

1463
01:06:36,520 --> 01:06:38,560
Speaker 4: been better? He was like, he points to go deep.

1464
01:06:38,640 --> 01:06:41,320
Speaker 4: I don't know, there's no way to know that. The

1465
01:06:41,360 --> 01:06:44,400
Speaker 4: good thing is that their defense, in their pass rush,

1466
01:06:44,600 --> 01:06:46,840
Speaker 4: Will Anderson Jonathan Gernard, I think they are getting better.

1467
01:06:46,840 --> 01:06:48,960
Speaker 4: So I think the defense is getting better and they're

1468
01:06:48,960 --> 01:06:51,080
Speaker 4: playing obviously one of the worst offensive leagues, So go

1469
01:06:51,120 --> 01:06:52,400
Speaker 4: win by two scores.

1470
01:06:52,520 --> 01:06:54,720
Speaker 3: I mean, I like the Texans. I think they're a

1471
01:06:54,720 --> 01:06:56,080
Speaker 3: better than average team.

1472
01:06:56,160 --> 01:06:58,920
Speaker 4: But John McClain pointed out of the Chronicle or it

1473
01:06:59,040 --> 01:07:01,920
Speaker 4: used to be the Chronicle, that I think it's seven

1474
01:07:02,040 --> 01:07:05,720
Speaker 4: straight games has come down to thirty seconds or less

1475
01:07:05,720 --> 01:07:06,320
Speaker 4: for the Texans.

1476
01:07:06,360 --> 01:07:07,680
Speaker 3: So it's not like they're a dominant team.

1477
01:07:07,720 --> 01:07:09,760
Speaker 4: They're a fun team, and it kind of would That's

1478
01:07:09,760 --> 01:07:11,160
Speaker 4: why I didn't want to lock this game. It kind

1479
01:07:11,200 --> 01:07:13,880
Speaker 4: of wouldn't surprise me if the Jets d balls out

1480
01:07:13,920 --> 01:07:16,479
Speaker 4: and I would expect the Texans to win that last minute,

1481
01:07:16,520 --> 01:07:18,360
Speaker 4: but it wouldn't surprise me if it comes down to that.

1482
01:07:18,360 --> 01:07:20,240
Speaker 2: Last yeame and they score fourteen points because I just

1483
01:07:20,280 --> 01:07:21,840
Speaker 2: don't see the Jets getting to that right.

1484
01:07:21,840 --> 01:07:24,240
Speaker 4: Like I kind of expect it's gonna be Zach Wilson

1485
01:07:24,680 --> 01:07:27,680
Speaker 4: needing to get a touchdown down four and they're driving

1486
01:07:27,720 --> 01:07:28,520
Speaker 4: and it doesn't work out.

1487
01:07:28,520 --> 01:07:30,800
Speaker 3: But a game like that, yeah, they they.

1488
01:07:31,120 --> 01:07:34,040
Speaker 5: I feel like every Sunday, you know, in the witching

1489
01:07:34,120 --> 01:07:37,600
Speaker 5: now we're watching like either CJ. Stroud or the opponent

1490
01:07:37,640 --> 01:07:39,640
Speaker 5: of c J. Stroud go up and down the field

1491
01:07:39,640 --> 01:07:42,440
Speaker 5: trying to do one last thing. They each of these

1492
01:07:42,440 --> 01:07:44,120
Speaker 5: games had done that. I kind of think though from

1493
01:07:44,120 --> 01:07:46,920
Speaker 5: another angle coaching and players and a lot of young players,

1494
01:07:46,960 --> 01:07:50,120
Speaker 5: like they've also gone three and two in those games.

1495
01:07:50,720 --> 01:07:53,080
Speaker 5: You know, they a nail biter loss to the Jaguars,

1496
01:07:53,160 --> 01:07:55,000
Speaker 5: they were nipped by the Panthers. I know they want

1497
01:07:55,000 --> 01:07:57,120
Speaker 5: that game back, but it's like they're in these games

1498
01:07:57,120 --> 01:07:59,560
Speaker 5: and they're learning to win in weird ways, and I

1499
01:07:59,680 --> 01:08:02,000
Speaker 5: kind of like that about them. I think that overall,

1500
01:08:02,040 --> 01:08:05,440
Speaker 5: the development of this roster is one of the better

1501
01:08:05,480 --> 01:08:09,400
Speaker 5: stories around because like they're drafting well, like Will Anderson

1502
01:08:09,480 --> 01:08:13,720
Speaker 5: is a genuine staring absolutely like Stroud.

1503
01:08:13,720 --> 01:08:14,680
Speaker 3: We know about him.

1504
01:08:14,720 --> 01:08:17,640
Speaker 5: But it's not just that it's like Derek Stingley, you know,

1505
01:08:17,720 --> 01:08:21,200
Speaker 5: two picks last week, total game change the last Yeah,

1506
01:08:21,320 --> 01:08:23,440
Speaker 5: it's just like it kind of feels.

1507
01:08:23,160 --> 01:08:24,920
Speaker 3: Like a team. And I know I've talked about him

1508
01:08:24,920 --> 01:08:25,839
Speaker 3: a lot. It's like, I think they're.

1509
01:08:25,640 --> 01:08:29,720
Speaker 5: Gonna win a playoff game, maybe multiple ones. I really

1510
01:08:29,760 --> 01:08:31,599
Speaker 5: think they're gonna get Coach of the Year, They're gonna

1511
01:08:31,600 --> 01:08:33,920
Speaker 5: get Assistant Coach of the Year, they're gonna get Offensive

1512
01:08:33,960 --> 01:08:36,000
Speaker 5: Rookie of the Year. If Stroud doesn't do something more

1513
01:08:36,040 --> 01:08:38,479
Speaker 5: than that Offensive players of the Year, well why not,

1514
01:08:39,400 --> 01:08:43,360
Speaker 5: Like what, there's no reason that Stroud I think Stroud

1515
01:08:43,520 --> 01:08:45,559
Speaker 5: is like there are not a lot of Stroud. There's

1516
01:08:45,560 --> 01:08:47,160
Speaker 5: this is not a lot of good stories out there,

1517
01:08:47,160 --> 01:08:49,479
Speaker 5: and Stroud's actually it's not just a story. It is

1518
01:08:49,479 --> 01:08:52,240
Speaker 5: like legitimately one of the future quarterbacks of the.

1519
01:08:52,280 --> 01:08:56,240
Speaker 4: League nine thousand to win Rookie of the Year, so

1520
01:08:56,320 --> 01:08:59,439
Speaker 4: that one he could that in how Nico.

1521
01:08:59,280 --> 01:09:04,760
Speaker 2: Collins Nico Collins here, Yeah, because oh they lose Tank

1522
01:09:04,880 --> 01:09:06,080
Speaker 2: Dell they're leading receiver.

1523
01:09:06,240 --> 01:09:07,960
Speaker 3: No, he's not their leading receiver.

1524
01:09:08,280 --> 01:09:10,960
Speaker 2: Tank Dell has been tremendous forty seven for seven or

1525
01:09:11,040 --> 01:09:14,040
Speaker 2: nine and seven touchdowns. Nico Collins is nine yards away

1526
01:09:14,040 --> 01:09:17,840
Speaker 2: from one thousand. He's got six touchdowns himself. He's averaging

1527
01:09:17,880 --> 01:09:20,960
Speaker 2: nearly seventeen yards per catch. That is an all pro

1528
01:09:21,120 --> 01:09:24,479
Speaker 2: type season. Nico Collins, It's like him and Jordan Addison

1529
01:09:24,520 --> 01:09:27,160
Speaker 2: are like, hey, look at us, give us more love.

1530
01:09:27,320 --> 01:09:28,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, hey, if you we did it.

1531
01:09:28,840 --> 01:09:31,400
Speaker 4: Nico Collins bit on NFL Plus in week three or

1532
01:09:31,439 --> 01:09:34,679
Speaker 4: four after the catch. You can't remember guys that tall

1533
01:09:35,120 --> 01:09:36,360
Speaker 4: that break that many tackles.

1534
01:09:36,400 --> 01:09:38,040
Speaker 3: You know what I mean? Yeah, he's tall.

1535
01:09:38,240 --> 01:09:41,040
Speaker 2: This guy's bounce off of Collins could have fifteen hundred

1536
01:09:41,080 --> 01:09:41,759
Speaker 2: yards receiving.

1537
01:09:41,920 --> 01:09:44,880
Speaker 3: It's crazy. He's really thought you were gonna lock it up.

1538
01:09:44,920 --> 01:09:47,200
Speaker 3: That's what we were waiting for. Oh, somebody's gonna lock

1539
01:09:47,240 --> 01:09:48,720
Speaker 3: it up. Well I don't. I don't. I feel like

1540
01:09:48,760 --> 01:09:49,880
Speaker 3: locking against them again.

1541
01:09:50,040 --> 01:09:52,080
Speaker 5: I don't say out of the race. I'm still out

1542
01:09:52,080 --> 01:09:53,840
Speaker 5: of the race. It's like I want to do things

1543
01:09:53,840 --> 01:09:57,400
Speaker 5: that for exciting. We're flocking against the Jets feels gutless.

1544
01:09:57,400 --> 01:09:58,200
Speaker 3: That's your choice.

1545
01:09:58,280 --> 01:10:01,120
Speaker 6: I have seen today's video, so keep the I don't

1546
01:10:01,120 --> 01:10:04,519
Speaker 6: take it personally. Lentra in your head because it is

1547
01:10:05,000 --> 01:10:05,759
Speaker 6: kind of a doozy.

1548
01:10:05,960 --> 01:10:06,519
Speaker 3: That's my gun.

1549
01:10:08,040 --> 01:10:12,320
Speaker 7: Hey, heroes, damn this week you guessed it. I'm picking

1550
01:10:12,320 --> 01:10:16,160
Speaker 7: against the Jets. I jokingly said earlier in the week

1551
01:10:16,520 --> 01:10:19,120
Speaker 7: that Dan should get into shape and try out to

1552
01:10:19,120 --> 01:10:22,599
Speaker 7: be the jets backup quarterback. Well, I'm guessing they almost

1553
01:10:22,600 --> 01:10:24,719
Speaker 7: gave him a call this week since Zach Wilson didn't

1554
01:10:24,720 --> 01:10:27,280
Speaker 7: even want to play this week. But somehow he's going

1555
01:10:27,360 --> 01:10:29,360
Speaker 7: to be the starter. I mean, are you kidding me?

1556
01:10:29,800 --> 01:10:34,360
Speaker 7: This seems an absolute show. How can they even be

1557
01:10:34,400 --> 01:10:36,760
Speaker 7: get considered an NFL franchise right now?

1558
01:10:37,520 --> 01:10:38,200
Speaker 3: This is a joke.

1559
01:10:39,200 --> 01:10:41,799
Speaker 7: How there are only three and a half point favorites

1560
01:10:42,240 --> 01:10:46,200
Speaker 7: is beyond me. The Texans are going to roll by thirty.

1561
01:10:46,760 --> 01:10:49,439
Speaker 7: This isn't even funny. I don't even know why I'm laughing.

1562
01:10:49,600 --> 01:10:54,280
Speaker 7: It's a disgrace. Good luck Jets, Better luck next year.

1563
01:10:54,720 --> 01:10:55,280
Speaker 3: Bye.

1564
01:10:56,320 --> 01:11:01,760
Speaker 2: How much did he seem like Chris Chris? I mean,

1565
01:11:01,760 --> 01:11:04,799
Speaker 2: they're the downs exactly like they are, the two brothers

1566
01:11:04,840 --> 01:11:08,439
Speaker 2: that resembled each other the most. From that, Oh, I'm

1567
01:11:08,439 --> 01:11:11,040
Speaker 2: annoyed at Nick because he just made me have to

1568
01:11:11,120 --> 01:11:11,920
Speaker 2: root for the Jets.

1569
01:11:12,439 --> 01:11:15,679
Speaker 3: I mean, Nick locked up the Jets not too long ago.

1570
01:11:15,800 --> 01:11:20,160
Speaker 2: Yeah no, no, listen, as I said to MJD, who

1571
01:11:20,200 --> 01:11:21,960
Speaker 2: tried to like get on me in the film room

1572
01:11:22,479 --> 01:11:26,240
Speaker 2: on Sunday night with some jets pop.

1573
01:11:26,760 --> 01:11:28,519
Speaker 3: You can't kill someone who's already dead.

1574
01:11:29,120 --> 01:11:31,839
Speaker 2: There's nothing you could do to me that is anything

1575
01:11:31,880 --> 01:11:34,599
Speaker 2: worse than what that team has done to me for

1576
01:11:34,600 --> 01:11:39,120
Speaker 2: forty years. So that's a smart lock by Nick Westling,

1577
01:11:39,200 --> 01:11:42,400
Speaker 2: and you are going to be probably close to correct

1578
01:11:42,400 --> 01:11:47,880
Speaker 2: because that could get gnarly. All right, let's take a

1579
01:11:47,920 --> 01:11:52,800
Speaker 2: break and then we'll finish up. All right, welcome back.

1580
01:11:52,880 --> 01:11:56,679
Speaker 2: Let's close out this draft. Mark you're up, Well, I'm going.

1581
01:11:56,720 --> 01:11:58,920
Speaker 2: I can't believe this game is still sitting out out there.

1582
01:11:58,960 --> 01:12:05,400
Speaker 2: I'm going cults, Bengals, I mean, what nothing, no, nothing

1583
01:12:05,640 --> 01:12:07,519
Speaker 2: like we knew like Nick was covered it. So it's

1584
01:12:07,560 --> 01:12:08,280
Speaker 2: going to stay away.

1585
01:12:08,320 --> 01:12:11,240
Speaker 4: Although I just it's just for post show because now

1586
01:12:11,280 --> 01:12:13,719
Speaker 4: I realize I'm gonna have like four gate four early games.

1587
01:12:13,760 --> 01:12:15,240
Speaker 5: I mean, I think behind the glass they know I

1588
01:12:15,280 --> 01:12:16,920
Speaker 5: picked this game twenty five minutes ago.

1589
01:12:16,960 --> 01:12:19,679
Speaker 2: But then it makes you look really like a trench.

1590
01:12:19,720 --> 01:12:22,160
Speaker 2: A decision by you. That's good, though I think.

1591
01:12:22,000 --> 01:12:24,240
Speaker 5: It makes me look like a like a straateggy man,

1592
01:12:24,360 --> 01:12:24,800
Speaker 5: like a star.

1593
01:12:25,280 --> 01:12:27,120
Speaker 2: I know, but we're gonna have to flip around games

1594
01:12:27,160 --> 01:12:28,680
Speaker 2: now I realize, actually all right, Well, that is ha

1595
01:12:28,720 --> 01:12:31,439
Speaker 2: has nothing to do with it, right, People driving around

1596
01:12:31,840 --> 01:12:33,560
Speaker 2: this the next pick mark.

1597
01:12:34,960 --> 01:12:35,559
Speaker 3: This game.

1598
01:12:36,120 --> 01:12:39,880
Speaker 5: Suddenly it's like backup in December. Typically backup versus backup

1599
01:12:40,360 --> 01:12:43,519
Speaker 5: is like check you later. But Gardner Minshew has he

1600
01:12:43,600 --> 01:12:45,160
Speaker 5: I know, he's a little bit all over the map,

1601
01:12:45,160 --> 01:12:48,559
Speaker 5: but he's been really great for the Colts, considering that

1602
01:12:48,600 --> 01:12:51,200
Speaker 5: he's been a backup quarterback all year long and Jake Browning,

1603
01:12:51,240 --> 01:12:53,320
Speaker 5: I mean, I guess the huge interest level for me

1604
01:12:53,400 --> 01:12:56,559
Speaker 5: is like whatever we just saw happen on Monday night,

1605
01:12:56,720 --> 01:12:59,240
Speaker 5: which is pretty unpressed. He threw for more yards than

1606
01:12:59,320 --> 01:13:03,080
Speaker 5: Burrow did this entire season in a game, and you know,

1607
01:13:03,160 --> 01:13:06,240
Speaker 5: it's like you find out later that the words about

1608
01:13:06,240 --> 01:13:08,160
Speaker 5: the fact that the team, Zach Taylor and everyone else

1609
01:13:08,200 --> 01:13:10,920
Speaker 5: really believes in him wasn't just nonsense. That this guy

1610
01:13:11,120 --> 01:13:13,640
Speaker 5: is like kind of built neck up confidence wise. A

1611
01:13:13,680 --> 01:13:16,599
Speaker 5: little bit differently, that he spent all off season with Burrow,

1612
01:13:16,600 --> 01:13:19,880
Speaker 5: with Jordan Palmer, who's a pretty good quarterback coach, and

1613
01:13:19,920 --> 01:13:22,439
Speaker 5: that they said Jordan Palmer was telling people before Monday

1614
01:13:22,520 --> 01:13:26,200
Speaker 5: night like on air, don't just discount this guy. And

1615
01:13:26,240 --> 01:13:28,200
Speaker 5: you could see it a little bit against the Steelers,

1616
01:13:28,439 --> 01:13:30,240
Speaker 5: but it was you know, it's your first time out there.

1617
01:13:30,280 --> 01:13:32,439
Speaker 5: It's a tough defense, and like it was like in

1618
01:13:32,479 --> 01:13:35,439
Speaker 5: little flashes, he looked like a B minus quarterback. But

1619
01:13:35,479 --> 01:13:39,280
Speaker 5: then what happened against a pretty good Jaguars defense is

1620
01:13:39,320 --> 01:13:41,880
Speaker 5: remarkable because I think they're running the same offense and

1621
01:13:42,040 --> 01:13:45,200
Speaker 5: suddenly you know, Jamar Chase is back, totally lit up.

1622
01:13:45,240 --> 01:13:46,200
Speaker 3: Te Higgins is there.

1623
01:13:46,640 --> 01:13:48,600
Speaker 5: They're not getting a lot from the ground game, but

1624
01:13:48,720 --> 01:13:50,680
Speaker 5: he's doing it through the air, and it's like the

1625
01:13:50,680 --> 01:13:52,320
Speaker 5: Bengals to me, are back in the race.

1626
01:13:52,560 --> 01:13:53,360
Speaker 3: They matter a lot.

1627
01:13:53,439 --> 01:13:56,479
Speaker 5: This is two playoff contenders, and this is a spicy game.

1628
01:13:56,520 --> 01:13:58,040
Speaker 3: I'm not saying that either one of them you can.

1629
01:13:57,960 --> 01:14:01,040
Speaker 2: Project as like AFC powers, but they do matter if

1630
01:14:01,080 --> 01:14:05,040
Speaker 2: you care about the fact that seven teams make the playoffs. Yeah, Cincinnati,

1631
01:14:05,439 --> 01:14:07,639
Speaker 2: they are still in a lot of trouble because they're

1632
01:14:07,720 --> 01:14:10,200
Speaker 2: six and six, but they have a really bad conference record.

1633
01:14:10,200 --> 01:14:12,800
Speaker 2: They have a lot of tie breaker issues, so it's

1634
01:14:12,800 --> 01:14:16,840
Speaker 2: still an uphill climb. However, the browning makes them a

1635
01:14:16,880 --> 01:14:19,599
Speaker 2: team that's watchable and interesting. You don't want to get

1636
01:14:19,600 --> 01:14:23,479
Speaker 2: too caught up with one good game right quarterback because

1637
01:14:23,479 --> 01:14:24,920
Speaker 2: that happens all the time. Also, and then all of

1638
01:14:24,920 --> 01:14:26,800
Speaker 2: a sudden, he's back to look in average. So we'll

1639
01:14:26,840 --> 01:14:28,679
Speaker 2: see and that's part of the intrigue of this game.

1640
01:14:28,760 --> 01:14:30,559
Speaker 2: Is he come down to earth or what?

1641
01:14:30,680 --> 01:14:31,040
Speaker 3: But great?

1642
01:14:31,080 --> 01:14:34,120
Speaker 2: He also he's at home. The Indie defense is not

1643
01:14:34,800 --> 01:14:37,320
Speaker 2: a group to be terrified of, so I think it

1644
01:14:37,360 --> 01:14:39,680
Speaker 2: does set up well. If he plays really well, then

1645
01:14:39,840 --> 01:14:40,800
Speaker 2: wow we got something.

1646
01:14:41,040 --> 01:14:41,519
Speaker 3: Look in here.

1647
01:14:41,680 --> 01:14:43,920
Speaker 4: I'm excited. I'm really excited about this game. What I

1648
01:14:43,920 --> 01:14:46,959
Speaker 4: think This was a great late pick by you, Mark Austin, Mark.

1649
01:14:47,439 --> 01:14:49,280
Speaker 3: How did you see it? For multiple reasons.

1650
01:14:49,800 --> 01:14:52,759
Speaker 4: Four hundred and ninety one yards they had on offense,

1651
01:14:52,840 --> 01:14:57,080
Speaker 4: twenty seven first down. I mean everyone stepped up around him.

1652
01:14:57,360 --> 01:14:59,760
Speaker 4: The offensive line had one of their best games of

1653
01:14:59,800 --> 01:15:01,960
Speaker 4: this season. I think we're second in the league in

1654
01:15:02,000 --> 01:15:02,880
Speaker 4: pass rush win rate.

1655
01:15:03,000 --> 01:15:05,960
Speaker 3: Last week. Boy did not step up. Okay, you're right.

1656
01:15:06,040 --> 01:15:09,800
Speaker 4: Jamar Chase though, was incredible. We almost gave him a

1657
01:15:09,840 --> 01:15:13,120
Speaker 4: little short shrift in that recap because a lot of

1658
01:15:13,120 --> 01:15:16,200
Speaker 4: those catches were difficult. He was making plays after the catch.

1659
01:15:16,240 --> 01:15:18,840
Speaker 4: He obviously had the bomb. I mean that was like

1660
01:15:19,000 --> 01:15:22,880
Speaker 4: a star wide receiver can make everyone around him look better.

1661
01:15:22,960 --> 01:15:26,280
Speaker 4: And the running game outing Chase Brown like they they

1662
01:15:26,560 --> 01:15:29,360
Speaker 4: would make the season a lot more fun if they

1663
01:15:29,360 --> 01:15:33,080
Speaker 4: have a little staying power. And I know Colts fans

1664
01:15:33,120 --> 01:15:35,759
Speaker 4: feel like we haven't given them enough credit.

1665
01:15:35,800 --> 01:15:36,720
Speaker 3: There is something to them.

1666
01:15:36,960 --> 01:15:38,600
Speaker 4: We talked about them a ton, we talked about them

1667
01:15:38,600 --> 01:15:40,400
Speaker 4: a lot, but it's just like there's something to them

1668
01:15:40,439 --> 01:15:41,760
Speaker 4: that it's like, how are they doing this?

1669
01:15:41,880 --> 01:15:42,599
Speaker 3: I don't understand.

1670
01:15:42,640 --> 01:15:44,320
Speaker 4: I kind of want the Bengals to win this game,

1671
01:15:44,439 --> 01:15:46,840
Speaker 4: for these teams to both be seven and six and

1672
01:15:46,880 --> 01:15:48,800
Speaker 4: to kind of both be in the mix, but not

1673
01:15:48,840 --> 01:15:50,800
Speaker 4: to I want Cincinnati part of our life.

1674
01:15:50,840 --> 01:15:53,679
Speaker 5: You want more mundane, average play?

1675
01:15:53,760 --> 01:15:55,960
Speaker 4: You want no, I just want I don't want the

1676
01:15:56,000 --> 01:15:58,720
Speaker 4: Colts to put the Bengals away here. I want the

1677
01:15:58,720 --> 01:16:01,160
Speaker 4: Bengals to be a fun story. I like the research

1678
01:16:01,200 --> 01:16:02,559
Speaker 4: guy getting going off here.

1679
01:16:02,680 --> 01:16:06,160
Speaker 2: Gardner Minshew and Jake Browning, who both started the season

1680
01:16:06,160 --> 01:16:08,720
Speaker 2: as backup qbs, will face off against each other for

1681
01:16:08,760 --> 01:16:11,439
Speaker 2: the first time since the twenty eighteen Apple Cup.

1682
01:16:11,800 --> 01:16:15,240
Speaker 3: It's crazy. Jake Browning was like a senior at that point.

1683
01:16:15,560 --> 01:16:18,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, Browning, who finished like sixth in Heisman voting as well.

1684
01:16:18,479 --> 01:16:20,160
Speaker 3: By the way, with Washington, once.

1685
01:16:20,160 --> 01:16:22,479
Speaker 2: We watched that Apple Cup together, you and I, oh

1686
01:16:22,560 --> 01:16:25,960
Speaker 2: yeah every second and then we Washington again State.

1687
01:16:26,040 --> 01:16:28,599
Speaker 3: Well yeah, well you gotta break it down, yeah, Minshew

1688
01:16:28,640 --> 01:16:32,200
Speaker 3: was Washington State. Yeah, yeah, Yeah.

1689
01:16:32,280 --> 01:16:35,720
Speaker 4: I love Steichen though, because maybe more than any coach

1690
01:16:35,760 --> 01:16:39,280
Speaker 4: in the league, when the plays happen, you can kind

1691
01:16:39,280 --> 01:16:41,600
Speaker 4: of see, oh, that's exactly how they were hoping it

1692
01:16:41,640 --> 01:16:45,240
Speaker 4: would happen in when they like did it in walkthroughs,

1693
01:16:45,520 --> 01:16:48,680
Speaker 4: Like it's just these cool plays that usually end up

1694
01:16:48,720 --> 01:16:52,320
Speaker 4: with like Kylan Grayson getting forty yards and you're like, oh.

1695
01:16:52,240 --> 01:16:54,760
Speaker 2: Wow, that was beautiful. What that that was cool? How

1696
01:16:54,920 --> 01:16:55,479
Speaker 2: they did that?

1697
01:16:55,560 --> 01:16:59,479
Speaker 4: And it's him a lot, And I think they're running

1698
01:16:59,479 --> 01:17:02,240
Speaker 4: a lot of creve stuff even with Gardner Minshew, And

1699
01:17:02,320 --> 01:17:04,160
Speaker 4: that's a that's a credit to the coaching.

1700
01:17:04,800 --> 01:17:09,160
Speaker 2: The Colts to their credit and again why Browning bawling

1701
01:17:09,240 --> 01:17:11,599
Speaker 2: out here would be a real eye opener to.

1702
01:17:11,560 --> 01:17:12,960
Speaker 3: Do it two times in a row. They've been very

1703
01:17:13,000 --> 01:17:15,519
Speaker 3: good on defense during this run.

1704
01:17:15,800 --> 01:17:20,320
Speaker 2: They're averaging less than five yards per play in the

1705
01:17:20,400 --> 01:17:23,880
Speaker 2: last four weeks so all wins.

1706
01:17:24,120 --> 01:17:25,719
Speaker 3: So they are they're they're coming together.

1707
01:17:25,880 --> 01:17:28,639
Speaker 2: Like you said, I think Mark Steichen is definitely in

1708
01:17:28,640 --> 01:17:30,680
Speaker 2: that conversation for Coach of the Year.

1709
01:17:30,880 --> 01:17:34,120
Speaker 5: I think I've built seven or eight coaches as Coach

1710
01:17:34,160 --> 01:17:36,080
Speaker 5: of the Year. At this point, you can't be wrong. Well,

1711
01:17:36,080 --> 01:17:37,880
Speaker 5: you can be probably still could be.

1712
01:17:37,920 --> 01:17:42,640
Speaker 3: But yeah, I think favorite pick one. I'm going to

1713
01:17:44,240 --> 01:17:47,040
Speaker 3: Why do you hate change stiking? It's a fair question.

1714
01:17:47,680 --> 01:17:50,400
Speaker 4: Okay, let's go and goes. By the way, are favored

1715
01:17:51,160 --> 01:17:53,559
Speaker 4: in this give No, they're not. They're underdogs at home

1716
01:17:54,280 --> 01:17:56,519
Speaker 4: Colts getting one point. I don't like that. I'm taking

1717
01:17:56,600 --> 01:17:59,640
Speaker 4: bring some rain, but I'm taking the Bengals straight up

1718
01:17:59,680 --> 01:18:00,240
Speaker 4: for sure.

1719
01:18:00,360 --> 01:18:03,479
Speaker 3: That's unusual. That's the like the way they went.

1720
01:18:03,600 --> 01:18:06,320
Speaker 4: Yes, they've been winning, all right, let's go on. I

1721
01:18:06,360 --> 01:18:07,879
Speaker 4: need a late game so I will still.

1722
01:18:07,680 --> 01:18:09,200
Speaker 3: Team just know how to win ball game.

1723
01:18:09,280 --> 01:18:15,040
Speaker 4: Broncos at Chargers, Chargers getting two and a half points.

1724
01:18:15,439 --> 01:18:18,519
Speaker 2: I can't imagine watching the Chargers. I couldn't even imagine it.

1725
01:18:19,320 --> 01:18:21,040
Speaker 3: I know this.

1726
01:18:21,040 --> 01:18:22,760
Speaker 4: This goes against what I was saying that I like

1727
01:18:22,840 --> 01:18:24,800
Speaker 4: these late season games where it's like the season's a

1728
01:18:24,840 --> 01:18:27,439
Speaker 4: bit on the line. Here the Charges feel just about

1729
01:18:27,520 --> 01:18:30,360
Speaker 4: dunzo if they get to five and eight or that

1730
01:18:30,360 --> 01:18:32,160
Speaker 4: would be their record, right if they lose this game

1731
01:18:33,439 --> 01:18:37,040
Speaker 4: in the division. And yet this game still does not

1732
01:18:37,320 --> 01:18:39,960
Speaker 4: really excite me too much. I have to admit as well.

1733
01:18:39,960 --> 01:18:42,960
Speaker 4: The offensive line's been a disappointment for the Chargers in

1734
01:18:43,040 --> 01:18:45,360
Speaker 4: terms of their pass protection, certainly in terms of their

1735
01:18:45,520 --> 01:18:50,280
Speaker 4: their run blocking, and Staley said this week he might

1736
01:18:50,360 --> 01:18:54,360
Speaker 4: consider playing Josh Kelly a little more over Austin Eckler.

1737
01:18:54,479 --> 01:18:56,080
Speaker 3: So that that is a.

1738
01:18:56,000 --> 01:18:57,680
Speaker 4: Bad sign, which I get because if you look at

1739
01:18:57,680 --> 01:19:00,400
Speaker 4: the numbers Kelly, I was trying to find a good

1740
01:19:00,479 --> 01:19:04,280
Speaker 4: Derrek Henry stat he's very high in yards after contact.

1741
01:19:04,360 --> 01:19:06,320
Speaker 4: I think he's like second or third league Dereck Henry

1742
01:19:06,400 --> 01:19:08,120
Speaker 4: still great. And you know I saw in that list,

1743
01:19:08,160 --> 01:19:10,559
Speaker 4: I was like, Josh Kelly was sixth per catch. I

1744
01:19:10,600 --> 01:19:12,599
Speaker 4: was like, maybe we should get a little more Josh Kelly.

1745
01:19:12,960 --> 01:19:15,800
Speaker 4: And so maybe Brandon Staley was just reading my mind.

1746
01:19:15,920 --> 01:19:19,760
Speaker 4: I was just at home alone watching this year, going

1747
01:19:19,800 --> 01:19:21,400
Speaker 4: in slow motion dropping the k.

1748
01:19:23,240 --> 01:19:24,559
Speaker 3: It's it's been rough.

1749
01:19:24,880 --> 01:19:29,360
Speaker 4: It's been rough. Every Their offense is bad. Their offense

1750
01:19:29,479 --> 01:19:29,840
Speaker 4: is bad.

1751
01:19:29,920 --> 01:19:33,800
Speaker 3: He's a part of it. Yeah, he's a big part

1752
01:19:33,840 --> 01:19:34,679
Speaker 3: of it. He's a big party.

1753
01:19:34,840 --> 01:19:36,840
Speaker 5: He's having a surprising down years, That's what I mean.

1754
01:19:37,000 --> 01:19:40,400
Speaker 4: So a typical it's not that surprising because he's because

1755
01:19:40,400 --> 01:19:42,080
Speaker 4: of his size and the workload that he's had the

1756
01:19:42,160 --> 01:19:44,000
Speaker 4: last couple of years. They were always careful with him,

1757
01:19:44,000 --> 01:19:46,559
Speaker 4: and then they finally juiced him up to like full

1758
01:19:46,600 --> 01:19:47,440
Speaker 4: time status.

1759
01:19:47,479 --> 01:19:48,719
Speaker 3: And you know that's what I'm mean.

1760
01:19:48,680 --> 01:19:51,080
Speaker 5: From his overall body of work, he's getting very consistent.

1761
01:19:51,160 --> 01:19:53,080
Speaker 5: I mean, I think, like you know, there's so much

1762
01:19:53,120 --> 01:19:56,639
Speaker 5: disappointment around this Chargers team, Quentin Johnson like it's it's

1763
01:19:56,680 --> 01:19:58,200
Speaker 5: kind of like I can't wait for the season to

1764
01:19:58,280 --> 01:19:59,960
Speaker 5: end for him. It's like every week there's like a

1765
01:20:00,479 --> 01:20:01,120
Speaker 5: killer drugs.

1766
01:20:01,160 --> 01:20:03,000
Speaker 2: He needs a Yeah, he needs to turn the page

1767
01:20:03,160 --> 01:20:04,800
Speaker 2: off season and try to try.

1768
01:20:05,000 --> 01:20:06,559
Speaker 5: I guess you wonder if he can, if he can

1769
01:20:06,600 --> 01:20:08,280
Speaker 5: actually do it. I mean, I know, and that that

1770
01:20:08,360 --> 01:20:09,719
Speaker 5: Patriots game, which was an eyesore.

1771
01:20:09,880 --> 01:20:12,960
Speaker 3: Quickly he looks okay, he just drops every pass. Yeah,

1772
01:20:12,960 --> 01:20:15,240
Speaker 3: but that's a problem. That's a problem. I'm not surprised

1773
01:20:15,560 --> 01:20:18,439
Speaker 3: at least he's that like kil Harry, which just was right.

1774
01:20:18,560 --> 01:20:19,640
Speaker 3: He's getting separation.

1775
01:20:19,920 --> 01:20:22,599
Speaker 2: It's actually making it even worse because these drops are

1776
01:20:22,600 --> 01:20:24,840
Speaker 2: coming with some space and it's just like, come on, bra.

1777
01:20:24,960 --> 01:20:28,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think, I mean, Brandon Staley is he's gone.

1778
01:20:28,120 --> 01:20:28,479
Speaker 3: We get it.

1779
01:20:28,520 --> 01:20:30,760
Speaker 5: But like I would say, if you look at this

1780
01:20:30,960 --> 01:20:35,639
Speaker 5: defense since week eleg they've they're the fifth best points

1781
01:20:35,640 --> 01:20:38,280
Speaker 5: scoring defense in the league, like and like like the

1782
01:20:38,320 --> 01:20:41,559
Speaker 5: Patriots game again was very weather bound. But it's just

1783
01:20:41,600 --> 01:20:46,439
Speaker 5: that I know the overall but because this team the

1784
01:20:46,479 --> 01:20:49,640
Speaker 5: whole season and really the whole Brandon's Daily era, there

1785
01:20:49,640 --> 01:20:52,160
Speaker 5: are two sides never play well at the same time.

1786
01:20:52,360 --> 01:20:54,479
Speaker 4: It's like, if one plays great, the other one stinks.

1787
01:20:55,280 --> 01:20:57,400
Speaker 4: It's like forty one to thirty eight Lions. If one

1788
01:20:57,439 --> 01:21:00,920
Speaker 4: plays great, the other one stinks. It's six to oh

1789
01:21:01,600 --> 01:21:03,960
Speaker 4: Chargers last week. And it's just they're just I don't

1790
01:21:03,960 --> 01:21:06,000
Speaker 4: think he's gone though. They they are the team that

1791
01:21:06,040 --> 01:21:08,880
Speaker 4: I'm like, just just see, you never know. They could

1792
01:21:08,880 --> 01:21:09,479
Speaker 4: win this game.

1793
01:21:09,560 --> 01:21:11,960
Speaker 2: And they have a really tough remaining schedules. Yeah, and

1794
01:21:12,000 --> 01:21:14,120
Speaker 2: they've been very bad against teams that have been over

1795
01:21:14,160 --> 01:21:17,160
Speaker 2: five hundred so far. And and this will be of

1796
01:21:17,200 --> 01:21:21,160
Speaker 2: note at least in this room. We'll see how Dangerous

1797
01:21:21,200 --> 01:21:23,920
Speaker 2: bounces back from a turnover marred game last week. Can

1798
01:21:23,920 --> 01:21:26,280
Speaker 2: he turned the page, which he's good at turning the page,

1799
01:21:26,400 --> 01:21:29,839
Speaker 2: but get back to a more smart brand of football,

1800
01:21:29,880 --> 01:21:32,960
Speaker 2: protecting the ball, succeeding in the red zone, and beating

1801
01:21:32,960 --> 01:21:36,679
Speaker 2: a Chargers team that quite frankly, this should be something

1802
01:21:36,760 --> 01:21:38,160
Speaker 2: you can do. It's gonna be a lot of Denver

1803
01:21:38,240 --> 01:21:40,120
Speaker 2: fans in that building as well.

1804
01:21:40,160 --> 01:21:42,599
Speaker 5: Of course across I was driving around and I listened

1805
01:21:42,600 --> 01:21:45,320
Speaker 5: to the AM radio sports radio, like, well, there was

1806
01:21:45,360 --> 01:21:47,080
Speaker 5: this like they were doing an old school like trivia

1807
01:21:47,120 --> 01:21:49,320
Speaker 5: contest with a guy calling in, and the guy did

1808
01:21:49,360 --> 01:21:50,439
Speaker 5: very well and he won all these It was a

1809
01:21:50,479 --> 01:21:53,519
Speaker 5: bunch of Lakers, and like it was incredibly exciting for you, great,

1810
01:21:53,560 --> 01:21:56,240
Speaker 5: great drive time, but like that's great. He won the contest,

1811
01:21:56,240 --> 01:21:59,680
Speaker 5: but the prize was like tickets, you know, deep like

1812
01:21:59,720 --> 01:22:02,280
Speaker 5: nose bleed tickets to Broncos charge. And I was seeing

1813
01:22:02,280 --> 01:22:04,360
Speaker 5: like does do I does he want those?

1814
01:22:04,400 --> 01:22:05,000
Speaker 3: Do I want those?

1815
01:22:05,160 --> 01:22:08,200
Speaker 2: They announce that they were nose bleeds. I just assume

1816
01:22:08,200 --> 01:22:09,920
Speaker 2: they're not great tickets. You got to put them in

1817
01:22:09,920 --> 01:22:11,839
Speaker 2: the two hundred section. If you get they're probably okay.

1818
01:22:11,920 --> 01:22:14,519
Speaker 5: You can go online and find they're probably alas tickets

1819
01:22:14,560 --> 01:22:15,920
Speaker 5: for like twenty five at least.

1820
01:22:15,720 --> 01:22:17,639
Speaker 3: At the front of the three hundred.

1821
01:22:17,680 --> 01:22:20,679
Speaker 2: If you're a Broncos fan, you're in the playoff mix,

1822
01:22:20,800 --> 01:22:23,600
Speaker 2: you're in beautiful southern California, you know there's gonna be

1823
01:22:23,600 --> 01:22:24,320
Speaker 2: a lot of people excited.

1824
01:22:24,320 --> 01:22:26,400
Speaker 5: To be right, I think this guy was from Southern

1825
01:22:26,400 --> 01:22:28,679
Speaker 5: he was not a Broncos fan. It's like, how excited

1826
01:22:28,720 --> 01:22:29,160
Speaker 5: is he about?

1827
01:22:29,200 --> 01:22:30,120
Speaker 3: Is he? I don't know what he is.

1828
01:22:30,680 --> 01:22:33,760
Speaker 2: That's the secondary market. Maybe you find uh people coming

1829
01:22:33,760 --> 01:22:34,439
Speaker 2: in from Colorado.

1830
01:22:34,520 --> 01:22:36,679
Speaker 5: Yeah, if you're from Denver, fly and spend the weekend

Speaker 2: No, I've been up in the five hundreds somebult watching

1838
01:22:56,479 --> 01:23:00,720
Speaker 2: the Cardinals Rams game playoff game a few years back,

1839
01:23:00,760 --> 01:23:01,599
Speaker 2: and we gotta get down.

1840
01:23:01,760 --> 01:23:03,040

Speaker 2: This act, this actually isn't funny. But my neighbor, who's

1844
01:23:10,520 --> 01:23:12,960
Speaker 2: an elderly woman, very nice woman. It's not it's not

1845
01:23:12,960 --> 01:23:13,759
Speaker 2: that that isn't funny.

1846
01:23:13,840 --> 01:23:14,439
Speaker 3: She took.

1847
01:23:16,080 --> 01:23:18,960
Speaker 2: She took her and her daughter went to so far

1848
01:23:19,080 --> 01:23:21,720
Speaker 2: for a Rams game last year. Didn't realize they're in

1849
01:23:21,720 --> 01:23:22,599
Speaker 2: the five hundred section.

1850
01:23:24,160 --> 01:23:27,160
Speaker 4: Got a heart attack. Wait what I mean, why are

1851
01:23:27,240 --> 01:23:30,000
Speaker 4: you telling the story right now? She was okay, we

1852
01:23:30,040 --> 01:23:31,280
Speaker 4: still have another game to go.

1853
01:23:32,400 --> 01:23:32,639
Speaker 3: Greg.

1854
01:23:32,680 --> 01:23:34,320
Speaker 2: There are bad things in the world, and there are

1855
01:23:34,400 --> 01:23:37,479
Speaker 2: bad players and bad announcers, and it's okay to talk

1856
01:23:37,520 --> 01:23:38,000
Speaker 2: about them.

1857
01:23:38,280 --> 01:23:41,320
Speaker 3: So are you okay? Are you saying perfect? That's sort

1858
01:23:41,320 --> 01:23:42,479
Speaker 3: of what the follow up is.

1859
01:23:42,520 --> 01:23:45,320
Speaker 4: You're saying that Austin Ekeeler is the old lady heart

1860
01:23:45,320 --> 01:23:46,240
Speaker 4: attack of running back.

1861
01:23:46,439 --> 01:23:48,679
Speaker 2: I'm just saying the world is a scary place and

1862
01:23:49,200 --> 01:23:52,679
Speaker 2: just pull the one surprise surprised her that story.

1863
01:23:53,000 --> 01:23:54,800
Speaker 3: Tell me I was surprised too, But that's why it's

1864
01:23:54,800 --> 01:23:57,960
Speaker 3: a good story. Yeah, I think it was an incredible story.

1865
01:23:57,960 --> 01:23:59,320
Speaker 3: All right, let's finish up here.

1866
01:24:00,280 --> 01:24:03,360
Speaker 4: We still got two games left, so the Lions, we

1867
01:24:03,439 --> 01:24:05,800
Speaker 4: haven't taken that game, right, No, this is probably gonna

1868
01:24:05,800 --> 01:24:07,719
Speaker 4: be Dan's game. Just to let you know, I'm drafting

1869
01:24:07,720 --> 01:24:10,599
Speaker 4: for you Lions minus three at the Bears.

1870
01:24:11,600 --> 01:24:13,559
Speaker 3: You ask me what I would suck it because I know.

1871
01:24:14,160 --> 01:24:17,720
Speaker 4: Here, because I know you, buddy, and you said on

1872
01:24:17,760 --> 01:24:21,400
Speaker 4: this very program, I don't want to watch the Panthers anymore,

1873
01:24:21,640 --> 01:24:25,080
Speaker 4: and the Panthers the other option, and nobody watched the Panthers,

1874
01:24:25,120 --> 01:24:28,360
Speaker 4: So I'm sticking them with Mark and you can have

1875
01:24:28,520 --> 01:24:30,360
Speaker 4: Lions all fun game.

1876
01:24:30,479 --> 01:24:31,400
Speaker 3: I had this.

1877
01:24:31,400 --> 01:24:37,080
Speaker 4: Game just four weeks ago. I had this game just

1878
01:24:37,120 --> 01:24:39,640
Speaker 4: four weeks ago. I found it incredibly entertaining because you

1879
01:24:39,680 --> 01:24:43,439
Speaker 4: got justin fields against a defense that's just not giving

1880
01:24:43,520 --> 01:24:46,640
Speaker 4: up a lot of resistance right now, and he was

1881
01:24:46,680 --> 01:24:49,759
Speaker 4: the best player on the field that day. They should

1882
01:24:49,800 --> 01:24:52,760
Speaker 4: have won it, and then their defense collapsed and gave

1883
01:24:52,840 --> 01:24:56,400
Speaker 4: up two touchdowns at the end. I hope the Lions

1884
01:24:56,439 --> 01:25:01,160
Speaker 4: don't make it that difficult again, but I don't know.

1885
01:25:01,400 --> 01:25:04,320
Speaker 4: I'm not I'm just worried about this team. This This

1886
01:25:04,439 --> 01:25:08,120
Speaker 4: defense has been too leaky for too long. They put

1887
01:25:08,120 --> 01:25:11,720
Speaker 4: Alee McNeil on injured reserve this week, and that is

1888
01:25:11,760 --> 01:25:15,920
Speaker 4: a reminder this defensive line outside of Hutchinson just ain't

1889
01:25:15,920 --> 01:25:16,559
Speaker 4: getting it done.

1890
01:25:16,640 --> 01:25:20,240
Speaker 2: Okay, how about this then, and Lions fans plug your

1891
01:25:20,240 --> 01:25:22,599
Speaker 2: ears because you want this to be a special season

1892
01:25:22,600 --> 01:25:26,200
Speaker 2: and you're nine to three right for the first time since.

1893
01:25:26,240 --> 01:25:29,519
Speaker 3: What well you got a billion years ago? Yeah, like

1894
01:25:29,640 --> 01:25:30,679
Speaker 3: deep old America.

1895
01:25:31,439 --> 01:25:34,320
Speaker 2: I define the way this is shaken out and you

1896
01:25:34,360 --> 01:25:36,640
Speaker 2: never know what could have with injuries and everything. I

1897
01:25:36,680 --> 01:25:40,080
Speaker 2: think success for the Lions this year is win this division,

1898
01:25:40,680 --> 01:25:41,439
Speaker 2: win a playoff game.

1899
01:25:41,520 --> 01:25:43,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, but you gotta win games like this, Yes, which

1900
01:25:43,760 --> 01:25:45,760
Speaker 4: I don't feel incredibly because I just.

1901
01:25:45,680 --> 01:25:48,320
Speaker 2: Don't think they're quite there yet, certainly not with the

1902
01:25:48,320 --> 01:25:51,720
Speaker 2: big boys in the NFC. But that doesn't mean the

1903
01:25:51,800 --> 01:25:54,479
Speaker 2: season is a failure if you don't want to go

1904
01:25:54,560 --> 01:25:57,160
Speaker 2: deep in the playoffs, just like close out the division,

1905
01:25:57,200 --> 01:26:00,200
Speaker 2: which you should be able to do and then game

1906
01:26:00,240 --> 01:26:01,559
Speaker 2: of playoffs and we're moving forward.

1907
01:26:01,600 --> 01:26:02,439
Speaker 3: Another step forward for.

1908
01:26:02,400 --> 01:26:04,240
Speaker 4: The cammel Rs, and they won't be the four seed

1909
01:26:04,280 --> 01:26:06,559
Speaker 4: because the NFC South will be, and so that means

1910
01:26:06,560 --> 01:26:09,519
Speaker 4: you will avoid the Eagles or Cowboys, which is nice.

1911
01:26:09,960 --> 01:26:12,160
Speaker 5: We're in a weird place with the Lions because it's

1912
01:26:12,160 --> 01:26:15,880
Speaker 5: almost like they were elevated a little bit beyond where

1913
01:26:15,880 --> 01:26:17,800
Speaker 5: they are where it's like we just wanted them to

1914
01:26:17,800 --> 01:26:19,519
Speaker 5: be like the number one seed or two seed.

1915
01:26:19,520 --> 01:26:20,960
Speaker 3: It's like, well, they're nine to three. They could be,

1916
01:26:21,000 --> 01:26:22,200
Speaker 3: they could be, but they but there.

1917
01:26:22,120 --> 01:26:24,320
Speaker 5: Also there's this like all this fatalism around them because

1918
01:26:24,320 --> 01:26:26,120
Speaker 5: of their defense, and it's like, you know, we'll see

1919
01:26:26,120 --> 01:26:28,160
Speaker 5: what happened. I will say, like, no team other than

1920
01:26:28,200 --> 01:26:30,120
Speaker 5: the Commanders is giving up more points for games since

1921
01:26:30,120 --> 01:26:33,519
Speaker 5: Week seven, so it's it's real. At the same time,

1922
01:26:33,560 --> 01:26:35,759
Speaker 5: I like, look at a team that is like drafted

1923
01:26:35,760 --> 01:26:38,519
Speaker 5: well like Sam Laporta is becoming a huge factor down

1924
01:26:38,520 --> 01:26:41,599
Speaker 5: the stretch. I believe that they're going to handle their business.

1925
01:26:41,680 --> 01:26:44,200
Speaker 5: I think they're really well coached, and there's something to

1926
01:26:44,240 --> 01:26:45,080
Speaker 5: haven't done on the show yet.

1927
01:26:45,160 --> 01:26:47,160
Speaker 3: When right now I'm locking that Lion's team up, I

1928
01:26:47,280 --> 01:26:49,160
Speaker 3: like that. All right, what have we got for the spread?

1929
01:26:49,600 --> 01:26:52,240
Speaker 3: Three points? There's some good there's some lockable games here,

1930
01:26:52,280 --> 01:26:54,320
Speaker 3: and it's on the road that you know, Lion's on

1931
01:26:54,360 --> 01:26:54,719
Speaker 3: the road.

1932
01:26:55,240 --> 01:26:57,360
Speaker 2: I'll point it out, and the data backs this up.

1933
01:26:57,479 --> 01:27:02,280
Speaker 2: Jared Goff is not a good quarterback outdoors. He's not

1934
01:27:02,360 --> 01:27:04,640
Speaker 2: a good quarterback. Well, maybe I shouldn't lock it in

1935
01:27:04,680 --> 01:27:08,559
Speaker 2: December and January. He has a lot of a lot

1936
01:27:08,560 --> 01:27:11,680
Speaker 2: of trouble with that. In fact, I'll give you some

1937
01:27:11,800 --> 01:27:15,200
Speaker 2: data points eight and thirteen outdoors in December and January,

1938
01:27:15,560 --> 01:27:18,479
Speaker 2: completion percentage south of sixty, QB.

1939
01:27:18,439 --> 01:27:19,280
Speaker 3: Rating of eighty.

1940
01:27:20,520 --> 01:27:24,400
Speaker 2: He when the weather drops and he is playing outside

1941
01:27:24,439 --> 01:27:28,360
Speaker 2: of dome, that production has historically dropped. So let's see

1942
01:27:28,439 --> 01:27:31,120
Speaker 2: Goff is is Scoff a different player than he was

1943
01:27:31,439 --> 01:27:32,160
Speaker 2: with the Rams.

1944
01:27:32,200 --> 01:27:33,280
Speaker 3: I don't know. We're gonna see.

1945
01:27:33,360 --> 01:27:33,559
Speaker 1: Uh.

1946
01:27:33,680 --> 01:27:36,200
Speaker 2: Now that we're get into some crucible games for the Lions.

1947
01:27:36,720 --> 01:27:38,280
Speaker 2: Let's see if he can play the guitar.

1948
01:27:38,400 --> 01:27:41,320
Speaker 4: It's one of those draft stories that feel so stupid,

1949
01:27:41,360 --> 01:27:45,679
Speaker 4: but then you hear this data. He's got the old

1950
01:27:47,560 --> 01:27:50,680
Speaker 4: I just found he's in the bottom tenth percentile. AHD,

1951
01:27:50,920 --> 01:27:52,120
Speaker 4: tiny hands, coffee Mark.

1952
01:27:52,880 --> 01:27:54,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, I feel for him on that front. They need it.

1953
01:27:55,000 --> 01:27:57,439
Speaker 3: They need to get Jamo Demo going.

1954
01:27:57,520 --> 01:28:02,400
Speaker 4: They just I feel like they're one weapons short on office.

1955
01:28:02,680 --> 01:28:04,080
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, Weymo, Weymo, Bro.

1956
01:28:04,200 --> 01:28:06,320
Speaker 4: They're great on offense, but it's just man, it's a

1957
01:28:06,320 --> 01:28:07,120
Speaker 4: lot to count on.

1958
01:28:07,600 --> 01:28:09,599
Speaker 3: Like lap, I guess you got the running game. They're

1959
01:28:09,600 --> 01:28:10,240
Speaker 3: they're interesting.

1960
01:28:10,760 --> 01:28:12,800
Speaker 2: You have that Weymo clip from last week that was

1961
01:28:12,800 --> 01:28:16,599
Speaker 2: fun Waimo after that incredible end around where he went

1962
01:28:16,720 --> 01:28:18,280
Speaker 2: sixty seven miles per hour.

1963
01:28:18,760 --> 01:28:20,720
Speaker 4: That I feel like this Bears team is better that

1964
01:28:20,840 --> 01:28:22,720
Speaker 4: they're they're four and eight, but they're a pretty good

1965
01:28:22,720 --> 01:28:23,040
Speaker 4: for it eight.

1966
01:28:23,080 --> 01:28:24,719
Speaker 3: They're a little dangerous. They're a little.

1967
01:28:24,520 --> 01:28:27,519
Speaker 2: Dangerous and and like I said, Fields is another uh

1968
01:28:27,600 --> 01:28:32,559
Speaker 2: subject subject of intrigue. I think he really needs the

1969
01:28:32,680 --> 01:28:35,679
Speaker 2: ball out if he wants to stay with the Bears.

1970
01:28:35,680 --> 01:28:36,720
Speaker 3: I don't even know if he wants to stay with it.

1971
01:28:36,800 --> 01:28:37,880
Speaker 3: I almost presume he's gone.

1972
01:28:38,640 --> 01:28:40,880
Speaker 2: But if he really does have some big games down

1973
01:28:40,920 --> 01:28:42,920
Speaker 2: the stretch, remember what an awesome stretch he had like

1974
01:28:43,000 --> 01:28:43,960
Speaker 2: last November for instance.

1975
01:28:44,040 --> 01:28:46,400
Speaker 5: Yeah, but that's not even been like he's he's had

1976
01:28:46,400 --> 01:28:48,680
Speaker 5: a couple of moments like that or haves, but like

1977
01:28:48,960 --> 01:28:51,240
Speaker 5: what he did, had he picked it up from there,

1978
01:28:51,520 --> 01:28:54,280
Speaker 5: even just the running part of him right, like you'd

1979
01:28:54,280 --> 01:28:56,280
Speaker 5: see a lot. But it's like, I just presume he's

1980
01:28:56,320 --> 01:28:58,280
Speaker 5: not going to be on the team next year. I

1981
01:28:58,280 --> 01:28:59,920
Speaker 5: mean we will see a lot of questions there.

1982
01:29:00,280 --> 01:29:03,439
Speaker 2: Uh you mentioned Hutchinson one sack in the last seven games.

1983
01:29:04,680 --> 01:29:08,559
Speaker 3: That brilliant, Mark. I think it's a good player. Oh

1984
01:29:08,840 --> 01:29:12,840
Speaker 3: suddenly a score from last week. I didn't.

1985
01:29:12,840 --> 01:29:14,840
Speaker 5: I spend twelve minutes saying I don't you know, I

1986
01:29:14,840 --> 01:29:15,880
Speaker 5: shouldn't have used that word.

1987
01:29:15,960 --> 01:29:17,559
Speaker 2: You know, we already went through that all that business.

1988
01:29:17,800 --> 01:29:20,519
Speaker 2: You always underestimate our audience. A lot of people know

1989
01:29:20,640 --> 01:29:22,120
Speaker 2: exactly what can I promise you?

1990
01:29:22,160 --> 01:29:25,280
Speaker 5: Our audience remembers and a lot of as I was

1991
01:29:25,520 --> 01:29:28,320
Speaker 5: talking about the multiple angers, all right, close it out, Mark,

1992
01:29:28,400 --> 01:29:30,439
Speaker 5: all right, well what I can't believe this is still

1993
01:29:30,479 --> 01:29:34,280
Speaker 5: hanging around Panthers at Saints. It's like two you know,

1994
01:29:34,400 --> 01:29:36,760
Speaker 5: faulty helicopters colliding in the middle of the sky. I

1995
01:29:36,760 --> 01:29:39,080
Speaker 5: don't I don't know why a huge last week I

1996
01:29:39,120 --> 01:29:40,720
Speaker 5: got Chargers Patriots.

1997
01:29:40,320 --> 01:29:42,439
Speaker 3: So the helicopters were distressed before colliding.

1998
01:29:42,479 --> 01:29:44,880
Speaker 5: They all they were faulty, and that's probably why you

1999
01:29:44,920 --> 01:29:47,200
Speaker 5: could have pilots were faulty, and that's why they could

2000
01:29:47,200 --> 01:29:47,719
Speaker 5: have picked.

2001
01:29:47,520 --> 01:29:48,519
Speaker 3: The game you wanted.

2002
01:29:48,560 --> 01:29:50,439
Speaker 2: But instead you tried to be cute and take the

2003
01:29:50,479 --> 01:29:52,200
Speaker 2: ship game, and it came back to bite you.

2004
01:29:52,479 --> 01:29:56,280
Speaker 5: It was actually a very smart move. I compare this,

2005
01:29:57,560 --> 01:29:59,600
Speaker 5: I compare this next to Brown's Jaguars.

2006
01:30:00,200 --> 01:30:01,479
Speaker 3: There you go, I don't know.

2007
01:30:01,520 --> 01:30:04,040
Speaker 5: I guess how about this, Like Saints show up and

2008
01:30:04,080 --> 01:30:05,880
Speaker 5: do something and stop being totally pored.

2009
01:30:06,360 --> 01:30:07,040
Speaker 3: They're an eyesore.

2010
01:30:07,120 --> 01:30:09,080
Speaker 5: They're impossible to watch, one of the worst red zone

2011
01:30:09,080 --> 01:30:10,840
Speaker 5: offenses in the league. All I need is like when their

2012
01:30:10,880 --> 01:30:13,120
Speaker 5: fan base is that annoyed with their own team, and

2013
01:30:13,360 --> 01:30:15,080
Speaker 5: you do, you lose the pocket of the fan base.

2014
01:30:15,080 --> 01:30:18,080
Speaker 5: It's even like like illogically telling you they're great when

2015
01:30:18,080 --> 01:30:18,400
Speaker 5: they're not.

2016
01:30:18,479 --> 01:30:20,479
Speaker 3: Like there aren't those fans don't even exist for this team.

2017
01:30:22,040 --> 01:30:24,160
Speaker 2: We have to check in on the practice report for Thursdays,

2018
01:30:24,160 --> 01:30:27,200
Speaker 2: but Taysom Hill's not practicing well, and I feel a

2019
01:30:27,280 --> 01:30:29,840
Speaker 2: lot better about Jameis Winston being in the mix as

2020
01:30:29,840 --> 01:30:32,080
Speaker 2: the starter if you have Taysom to playoff.

2021
01:30:32,720 --> 01:30:35,599
Speaker 5: Tam Hill has like he is three hundred and forty

2022
01:30:35,600 --> 01:30:39,280
Speaker 5: six yards on the ground, four touchdowns, two twenty plus

2023
01:30:39,320 --> 01:30:42,120
Speaker 5: and a touchdown through the air. He's not really even

2024
01:30:42,160 --> 01:30:45,160
Speaker 5: playing quarterback that much. And like there's been previous seasons

2025
01:30:45,160 --> 01:30:46,880
Speaker 5: where we talked about Taysom Hill all the time. I

2026
01:30:47,040 --> 01:30:49,200
Speaker 5: won sandwich bet on how many touchdowns he'd have, and

2027
01:30:49,280 --> 01:30:51,479
Speaker 5: Sean Payton, you know, fawned over. It's like this might

2028
01:30:51,520 --> 01:30:53,799
Speaker 5: be his best season in a way on a pretty

2029
01:30:53,840 --> 01:30:54,479
Speaker 5: lost offense.

2030
01:30:54,479 --> 01:30:55,759
Speaker 3: I think he's been really reliable.

2031
01:30:55,760 --> 01:30:59,400
Speaker 2: If he finishes this regular season strong, there will be

2032
01:30:59,479 --> 01:31:04,000
Speaker 2: generation of fantasy players that we'll talk about Taysom Hill's

2033
01:31:04,360 --> 01:31:07,320
Speaker 2: cheat code tight end season twenty twenty three. Yeah, and

2034
01:31:07,439 --> 01:31:11,280
Speaker 2: a otherwise bad group of producers in that game.

2035
01:31:12,000 --> 01:31:14,160
Speaker 3: Taysom just does all these different things.

2036
01:31:14,479 --> 01:31:17,240
Speaker 4: Derek Carr might play in this game because I think

2037
01:31:17,240 --> 01:31:18,559
Speaker 4: he was partial.

2038
01:31:19,680 --> 01:31:21,160
Speaker 3: Somebody saved Derek Carr from himself.

2039
01:31:21,640 --> 01:31:24,040
Speaker 5: So he's got a shoulder injury of back injuries, coming

2040
01:31:24,080 --> 01:31:26,040
Speaker 5: off a concussion. I mean, I don't know if we

2041
01:31:26,160 --> 01:31:28,920
Speaker 5: need to rush him back into this mailstrom.

2042
01:31:29,439 --> 01:31:33,479
Speaker 3: No, and you mentioned the tickets you thought would be cheap. Here.

2043
01:31:33,640 --> 01:31:37,880
Speaker 4: You can get into the Superdome for fifteen dollars. So

2044
01:31:38,240 --> 01:31:40,600
Speaker 4: but I do that less than a you pair that

2045
01:31:40,640 --> 01:31:41,680
Speaker 4: less than a beer and a hot dive.

2046
01:31:41,720 --> 01:31:43,400
Speaker 3: I'm a nice weekend in no orld. Yeah, we've done

2047
01:31:43,400 --> 01:31:45,400
Speaker 3: that in that quarter. I'd be able to.

2048
01:31:46,000 --> 01:31:49,839
Speaker 4: If there's one thing that could get Gayle Benson's attention. Sure,

2049
01:31:50,520 --> 01:31:53,960
Speaker 4: any owner in terms of the GM too, not just

2050
01:31:53,960 --> 01:31:56,320
Speaker 4: the head coach, but Mickey Loomis is as much power

2051
01:31:56,360 --> 01:31:59,479
Speaker 4: as any GM in the league that could get their

2052
01:31:59,479 --> 01:32:01,120
Speaker 4: attention if it starts getting real empty.

2053
01:32:01,200 --> 01:32:03,880
Speaker 3: The booze there were very rare.

2054
01:32:03,960 --> 01:32:07,360
Speaker 4: Alvin Kamara mentioned like he had never heard anything like that,

2055
01:32:07,400 --> 01:32:10,840
Speaker 4: and he said, like, I understand it, we're just not performing,

2056
01:32:10,880 --> 01:32:12,639
Speaker 4: but I've never heard anything like that, And.

2057
01:32:12,600 --> 01:32:14,800
Speaker 2: It doesn't It doesn't help when you have people on

2058
01:32:14,840 --> 01:32:17,080
Speaker 2: the team like joining in with the fans and how

2059
01:32:17,160 --> 01:32:17,960
Speaker 2: much the team sucks.

2060
01:32:18,040 --> 01:32:21,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, things have gone like they're only giving the Panthers,

2061
01:32:21,040 --> 01:32:23,519
Speaker 5: who are a disaster, five points in this and so

2062
01:32:23,600 --> 01:32:26,639
Speaker 5: I guess if like it would be really the.

2063
01:32:26,600 --> 01:32:28,080
Speaker 3: Spot for the Panthers to get a win.

2064
01:32:28,160 --> 01:32:30,360
Speaker 5: Yeah, but how about Bryce Young, Like if he could

2065
01:32:30,360 --> 01:32:32,360
Speaker 5: just string together a couple games were different. I just

2066
01:32:32,360 --> 01:32:34,280
Speaker 5: don't see how it's gonna happen. Saints are still in

2067
01:32:34,280 --> 01:32:37,160
Speaker 5: the mix if they win this game, right, very much?

2068
01:32:37,200 --> 01:32:38,280
Speaker 5: Are they very much?

2069
01:32:38,560 --> 01:32:40,400
Speaker 2: But doesn't it feel like they are just a team

2070
01:32:40,439 --> 01:32:42,639
Speaker 2: that needs to hit the reset there?

2071
01:32:42,760 --> 01:32:45,599
Speaker 3: Yeah? No for the division right? No false results?

2072
01:32:45,640 --> 01:32:47,040
Speaker 5: Like I think it'd be better for the team to

2073
01:32:47,040 --> 01:32:49,880
Speaker 5: probably flush a lot of this down the drain and

2074
01:32:49,920 --> 01:32:50,400
Speaker 5: start over.

2075
01:32:50,520 --> 01:32:51,400
Speaker 3: And it don't seem well.

2076
01:32:51,479 --> 01:32:53,599
Speaker 2: Dennis Allen wins the division at eight nine and comes

2077
01:32:53,600 --> 01:32:54,400
Speaker 2: back for another year.

2078
01:32:55,040 --> 01:32:56,160
Speaker 3: Everyone everyone wins.

2079
01:32:56,200 --> 01:33:01,960
Speaker 4: The fans send our thoughts to Hurst that oh yeah,

2080
01:33:02,040 --> 01:33:05,559
Speaker 4: Anthers and very sad that his father said he was

2081
01:33:05,600 --> 01:33:10,080
Speaker 4: diagnosed with post traumatic amnesia as a result of a

2082
01:33:11,400 --> 01:33:12,759
Speaker 4: hit to the head.

2083
01:33:13,280 --> 01:33:13,880
Speaker 3: I remember that.

2084
01:33:13,880 --> 01:33:16,519
Speaker 4: I never heard that brutal three or four weeks ago

2085
01:33:16,640 --> 01:33:19,120
Speaker 4: that you know, caused a concussion and these are some

2086
01:33:19,160 --> 01:33:21,479
Speaker 4: of the symptoms. So he's been through a lot, if

2087
01:33:21,479 --> 01:33:26,519
Speaker 4: you know his story, battling back from depression too in college.

2088
01:33:26,680 --> 01:33:29,920
Speaker 4: I think suicide attempt I believe he had talked about

2089
01:33:30,000 --> 01:33:32,120
Speaker 4: and this is just as terrible.

2090
01:33:32,280 --> 01:33:34,519
Speaker 3: It's a reminder what they're risking going out there.

2091
01:33:34,840 --> 01:33:39,599
Speaker 2: Yes, okay, good luck to mister Hurst. That is the

2092
01:33:39,800 --> 01:33:43,479
Speaker 2: full week fourteen rundown. This is the Thursday triple header

2093
01:33:43,479 --> 01:33:45,519
Speaker 2: for at and so we're gonna have an NFL Plus

2094
01:33:45,800 --> 01:33:49,200
Speaker 2: Dreamatorium app which you can get on NFL Plus and

2095
01:33:49,240 --> 01:33:52,479
Speaker 2: also if you're outside the United States, you can get.

2096
01:33:52,320 --> 01:33:53,280
Speaker 3: It on DA's own.

Speaker 2: We also will have a Thursday night recap of Patriots

2098
01:33:58,800 --> 01:34:02,080
Speaker 2: Steelers with guests. We cooked something. We told you people,

2099
01:34:02,360 --> 01:34:03,800
Speaker 2: Cestag and I were going to cook something up.

2100
01:34:03,840 --> 01:34:05,720

Speaker 2: And finally, what a great day this is or a

2103

2104
01:34:16,479 --> 01:34:20,240
Speaker 2: young producer, sneaky handsome. I wouldn't say sneaky. I think

2105
01:34:20,400 --> 01:34:22,800
Speaker 2: I would say back door, like side door handsome, maybe

2106
01:34:22,840 --> 01:34:26,080
Speaker 2: coming through the front door. Good looking guy. Doesn't surprise

2108
01:34:30,800 --> 01:34:33,000
