1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:19,119
Speaker 1: Ye. Welcome to Good Morning Football, everybody. We're live in

00:00:19,239 --> 00:00:23,040
Speaker 1: New York City, Thursday, January thirteenth. My name is Kay Adam.

3
00:00:23,120 --> 00:00:25,239
Speaker 1: Thank you so much for choosing us this morning. I

4
00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:27,480
Speaker 1: had a Super Wild Card weekend. Peter Stragger is here,

5
00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:32,320
Speaker 1: Brent in the building, and Maurice Jones Drew as he

6
00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:35,360
Speaker 1: calls himself Indiana Jones Drew, Yeah, yeah, Bus. You know

7
00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:38,600
Speaker 1: Ben hanging out in the cold. Yeah, it's been freezing

8
00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:40,640
Speaker 1: here like No one talks about that. No one talks

9
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:43,199
Speaker 1: about how cold it can get here though, Like I

10
00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:45,760
Speaker 1: would think cold is like Minnesota, Wisconsin, like no, No,

11
00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:49,080
Speaker 1: New York City has its own little you know. Yeah,

12
00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:50,800
Speaker 1: I want to ask you how old you are, but

13
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:52,400
Speaker 1: I don't think you'll catch onto the joke and say

14
00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:57,360
Speaker 1: old enough to party. I'm pretty old. I know it well,

15
00:00:57,400 --> 00:00:59,120
Speaker 1: you already said the punchline. I was looking for me

16
00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:02,600
Speaker 1: to say. Muhammad is the most popular name. You all

17
00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:07,720
Speaker 1: know that we're here, Are you kidding me? The least

18
00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:11,160
Speaker 1: super Wild weekend A wild beginning of the show. There Sunday, Guys,

19
00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:14,280
Speaker 1: Too and Herds and the Eagles take on the defending champions,

20
00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:18,560
Speaker 1: Tom Brady and the Bucks down in Tampa. Hey, Mike Garafolo,

21
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:20,919
Speaker 1: he's always dressed to impress, and he's got the latest

22
00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:25,480
Speaker 1: on this big matchup. Thank you, kay. Well. Rainy and

23
00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:29,000
Speaker 1: windy conditions expected in Tampa on Sunday, and that could

24
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:32,640
Speaker 1: could favor the Eagles in their matchup with the Buccaneers

25
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:35,600
Speaker 1: because this has been a run heavy offense ever since

26
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:38,200
Speaker 1: the first time that these two teams met. That was

27
00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:41,039
Speaker 1: back in Week six. And remember that was a Thursday

28
00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:43,720
Speaker 1: night game, and Eagles coach Nick Sirianni had said going

29
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:45,399
Speaker 1: into the game that they were going to use that

30
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:48,440
Speaker 1: weekend as a mini buy a chance to self scout

31
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:50,640
Speaker 1: and figure out who they are as a team and

32
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:52,920
Speaker 1: as an offense. Well, they figured out that they are

33
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:55,560
Speaker 1: a running team because since that week they have not

34
00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:58,600
Speaker 1: been held under one hundred yards rushing in any game,

35
00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:01,400
Speaker 1: and they had five games where they were over two

36
00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:04,960
Speaker 1: hundred yards on the ground. So Tampa knows what the

37
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:07,240
Speaker 1: Eagles are going to do, what their path to victory is.

38
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:10,280
Speaker 1: It's to come in, run the football, give him some

39
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:13,120
Speaker 1: looks with Jalen Hurts, have them worry about his running ability,

40
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:16,720
Speaker 1: and perhaps on a sloppy day, get themselves an upset victory.

41
00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:20,119
Speaker 1: As for the Buccaneers, one note Ronald Jones, the running back.

42
00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:23,080
Speaker 1: He is doubtful for Sunday, according to Bruce Arians, but

43
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:25,880
Speaker 1: Leonard Fournette, back to practice, perhaps could carry the load

44
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:30,799
Speaker 1: once again in the postseason for Tampa. Appreciate you Mike

45
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:35,040
Speaker 1: that one at Raymond James at one pm Eastern on Fox.

46
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:37,560
Speaker 1: So thank you, Micah obviously braiding the Bucks. A tough

47
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:41,280
Speaker 1: matchup for the Eagles. Philly finished this season strong, though,

48
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:44,000
Speaker 1: seven and three since Week eight. Impressive numbers in the

49
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:47,640
Speaker 1: ground game. Slight catch they only played one playoff team

50
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:51,040
Speaker 1: in net Spans. This is a fugazy situation. We'll talk

51
00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:53,680
Speaker 1: about it here. The Cowboys in Week eighteen were that

52
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:56,600
Speaker 1: team and they lost, but they were resting some starters

53
00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:59,600
Speaker 1: as well, including Jalen Hurts. Its real interesting and compelling

54
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:02,600
Speaker 1: this match up. Are the Eagles a real threat in

55
00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:05,400
Speaker 1: the NFC or did they been? This benefit from a

56
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:08,480
Speaker 1: nice schedule late in the season. You know, it's it's

57
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:10,880
Speaker 1: funny being here in the cold. I don't leave my

58
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:12,480
Speaker 1: hotel room when I get a chance to just kind

59
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:14,760
Speaker 1: of scroll Instagram, and I kind of went over one

60
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:17,840
Speaker 1: of our colleagues Brian Baldinger who was breaking down the

61
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:19,760
Speaker 1: Eagles versus the Bucks and in the first half, I

62
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:21,880
Speaker 1: want to say he said they read had six rushes.

63
00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:23,959
Speaker 1: In the second half, they obviously ran more. He was

64
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:26,960
Speaker 1: showing kind of Kelsey and the offensive lind creates seams

65
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:30,080
Speaker 1: in Miles Sanders run. I am, I am like, Okay,

66
00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:32,200
Speaker 1: the Niners are number one on my lists of upset

67
00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:35,240
Speaker 1: The Eagles are number two because they have a running quarterback.

68
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:38,160
Speaker 1: They have a offensive line that could push guys around.

69
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:41,280
Speaker 1: You have a running game that can be explosive, and

70
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:43,440
Speaker 1: that's all you need in the playoffs. You have you look,

71
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:46,040
Speaker 1: these guys can break runs. And this isn't that Week

72
00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:48,720
Speaker 1: six matchup, And it wasn't like it was. They got

73
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:52,760
Speaker 1: blown out against the Buccaneers who had Godwin and a

74
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:56,000
Speaker 1: b and all these other guys. Yeah, they came all

75
00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:58,320
Speaker 1: the way back running the ball. So if you if

76
00:03:58,360 --> 00:03:59,840
Speaker 1: you mess around and think this is gonna be an

77
00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:01,240
Speaker 1: easy game, which a lot of people think is not

78
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:04,040
Speaker 1: gonna be that close, Dvin Hurts and his legs can

79
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:06,640
Speaker 1: really open this thing up and give them an opportunity

80
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:08,840
Speaker 1: to win this game. I hope. So I hope you're right,

81
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:11,680
Speaker 1: m D. I've been I really respect teams that have

82
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:14,400
Speaker 1: beaten quality opponents, you know, like the Titans have beating

83
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:16,520
Speaker 1: a lot of good teams. I don't care that much

84
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:19,000
Speaker 1: that you haven't beaten good teams, because if you've just

85
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:21,039
Speaker 1: played pros every week and one, I'm trying not to

86
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:22,680
Speaker 1: hold that against teams. We're in the playoffs. Now. This

87
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:24,760
Speaker 1: is different, and that's how I would answer that. I'm

88
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:27,839
Speaker 1: looking at a game in Philadelphia three months ago, like

89
00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:31,040
Speaker 1: this is in Tampa. This is Brady going for his

90
00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:32,920
Speaker 1: eighth Super Bowl. I feel like this is a different deal.

91
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:35,840
Speaker 1: And I know the nightmare scenario that opens this game

92
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:37,799
Speaker 1: is that the Bucks win the toss and defer. Philly

93
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:39,720
Speaker 1: starts with the ball in the twenty five and it's

94
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:43,359
Speaker 1: run laft zero yards, run right, two yards, incomplete pass punt.

95
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:46,880
Speaker 1: Oh crap like that to me. Then Brady's up three nothing,

96
00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:49,280
Speaker 1: Then you punt again and then it's ten nothing. Sirianni

97
00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:52,920
Speaker 1: compares everything to a boxing match, Like I think that

98
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:55,200
Speaker 1: first round is huge. I think we're gonna know about

99
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:59,640
Speaker 1: this game actually from the first Eagles series and if

100
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:02,560
Speaker 1: Devin and la Monte or saying not today, my friends

101
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:04,960
Speaker 1: and the run guys are running around and stuffing this right,

102
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:06,400
Speaker 1: I think it could be a long day. I really do.

103
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:09,640
Speaker 1: If it happens like I'm saying and the Eagles aren't

104
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:12,279
Speaker 1: running early and they're punting and Brady gets up, then

105
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:14,040
Speaker 1: we're on a wing and a prayer that Jalen Hurts

106
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:16,119
Speaker 1: can become a superstar in the second half. And maybe

107
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:18,599
Speaker 1: he can, and I hope he can. But we did

108
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:21,080
Speaker 1: see this at one time, and in this game, they

109
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:23,560
Speaker 1: were eventually down twenty eight to seven and Hurts just

110
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:25,600
Speaker 1: had to kind of start. They through twenty six passes

111
00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:28,320
Speaker 1: in the second half and it just wasn't there. I

112
00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:31,040
Speaker 1: don't think this is a week six, week five, week twelve.

113
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:32,680
Speaker 1: I think this is playoffs. I think this is at

114
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:34,560
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay. And if they get down early, I don't

115
00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:36,560
Speaker 1: think there's a team in the entire field that is

116
00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:39,400
Speaker 1: more poorly built to come from behind. I think the

117
00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:42,960
Speaker 1: first series for Philadelphia will tell us everything. Yeah, and

118
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:44,560
Speaker 1: there's there's a lot of things up. Okay, So when

119
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:46,480
Speaker 1: the schedules came out Sunday night, and it came out

120
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:50,200
Speaker 1: late Sunday night, after halftime of the game that was

121
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:52,560
Speaker 1: gone on between the charge of raders. I was surprised

122
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:56,159
Speaker 1: because here the NFL has six different windows. Okay, you

123
00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:59,159
Speaker 1: have your two Saturday windows, You've got your prime Time Sunday.

124
00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:01,599
Speaker 1: When a day of New Time, they put Tom Brady

125
00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:04,799
Speaker 1: at one o'clock on a Sunday, I was like, really,

126
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:08,800
Speaker 1: like Tom Brady defending champions later, this is a great striker.

127
00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:12,320
Speaker 1: Take Tom Brady is at one o'clock on Sunday A right,

128
00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:15,159
Speaker 1: like you've got primetime, You've got the big CBS game

129
00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:19,040
Speaker 1: at four thirty with Nickelodeon and Amazon. One o'clock on Sunday.

130
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:21,720
Speaker 1: Put Brady there. I think the world is thicking. This

131
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:25,000
Speaker 1: is gonna get ugly, like we don't want a blowout here,

132
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:28,039
Speaker 1: and and I don't know if it's it's gonna be

133
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:30,720
Speaker 1: pouring rain all right at the Eagles. They run the ball.

134
00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:36,440
Speaker 1: Yet Brady is Brady. His body is like a finally

135
00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:38,280
Speaker 1: tuned machine, and I feel like it was built to

136
00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:40,839
Speaker 1: play football at one pm. Roll me out of bed

137
00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:43,680
Speaker 1: and let's go. Then you think about the other elements

138
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:45,800
Speaker 1: that's got Brady going here. You know, here come the

139
00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:48,160
Speaker 1: mighty Eagles with that run game and all the thing.

140
00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:50,279
Speaker 1: Brady knows what time. It is. There are only a

141
00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:52,720
Speaker 1: few teams in this business that have gotten the best

142
00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:55,080
Speaker 1: of them, and one of them are the Philadelphia Eagles.

143
00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:56,640
Speaker 1: And it was in a Super Bowl a couple of

144
00:06:56,760 --> 00:06:59,239
Speaker 1: years ago. And in that Super Bowl we talk about

145
00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:02,320
Speaker 1: how Folds got the best to Brady. Brady was a lecture, unstoppable.

146
00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:05,359
Speaker 1: Brady was amazing in that game. Let's not put that

147
00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:07,760
Speaker 1: game on Brady like Brady couldn't get the job done.

148
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:09,640
Speaker 1: This wasn't the Super Bowls against the Giants where he

149
00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:12,040
Speaker 1: was getting knocked around. Brady at the field day five

150
00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:13,880
Speaker 1: oh five and three touchdowns if he got the ball

151
00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:16,760
Speaker 1: one more time and Brandon, Graham and Barnette don't come

152
00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:18,800
Speaker 1: on on that. Who knows. Maybe the win um, but

153
00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:20,440
Speaker 1: the Eagle ran the Philly special on the goal. He

154
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:23,200
Speaker 1: is very memorable. My last point though, and this is

155
00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:26,360
Speaker 1: for everyone in that Philadelphia building, because Kyle, we've done

156
00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:29,360
Speaker 1: Rudy with the with the Flower. Okay, we have done

157
00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:33,280
Speaker 1: the shrine to Nick Foles. Our show has had a

158
00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:36,040
Speaker 1: lot of Eagle. Kyle. You do this cute little segment

159
00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:38,800
Speaker 1: on Tuesdays and we enjoy it, and it's the Angry

160
00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:42,400
Speaker 1: Run and it's for the toughest, baddest, meanest players. I

161
00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:44,640
Speaker 1: don't know, man, where are these Eagles at? Can I

162
00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:47,480
Speaker 1: see the full screen of the winners of the Angry

163
00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:52,680
Speaker 1: Runs this season? I don't see a single mighty tough,

164
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:56,320
Speaker 1: big bad Paul Eagles are gonna rum and pull up

165
00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:58,760
Speaker 1: in mils Me. Eagles are can shove it down your throat?

166
00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:01,280
Speaker 1: Where they at? Kyle? I don't see any Eagles on there.

167
00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:07,200
Speaker 1: I see some Cardinals, I see some Broncos. Wow. No Eagles,

168
00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:11,240
Speaker 1: and all you talk about is number one run offense.

169
00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:13,080
Speaker 1: They're so too You don't want to see Lane Johnson

170
00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:15,560
Speaker 1: in a boom booth. Bro, you Seine Kelsey is a beard,

171
00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:18,400
Speaker 1: he's so lean. Where are they? Bro? I don't even

172
00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:21,320
Speaker 1: I can't even think of a nomination Boston Scott Angry

173
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:24,360
Speaker 1: running on that show. I haven't a lot that's going.

174
00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:27,000
Speaker 1: I'm just I'm nervous. When you get started talking like

175
00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:30,680
Speaker 1: that makes me nervous. Why because all of a sudden

176
00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:33,040
Speaker 1: they hear this, okay, and they want to prove a point.

177
00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:36,439
Speaker 1: What's so interesting is that, Peter, I'm stern a little

178
00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:39,600
Speaker 1: pot here, Peter, of all people at this very table,

179
00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:45,239
Speaker 1: and the Eagles do not have the healthiest postseason serial relationship.

180
00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:48,959
Speaker 1: You are famous for the preetor Schrager Brandon Graham bite.

181
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:51,760
Speaker 1: They played your face and your sound coming out of

182
00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:54,320
Speaker 1: your mouth. Oh, you're part of the reason the Eagles

183
00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:56,440
Speaker 1: won the Super Bowl. Doubting the Eagles has been a

184
00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:59,760
Speaker 1: cottage industry faring us at this show. And Kyle, if

185
00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:02,360
Speaker 1: they're such an angry running team, why are they absent

186
00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:05,880
Speaker 1: from the only segment on television that celebrates tough football

187
00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:08,319
Speaker 1: and running the ball? It is? It is really striking,

188
00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:10,480
Speaker 1: like if someone is such a good actress, isn't there

189
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:14,800
Speaker 1: an Academy word nomination anywhere? Zero In the longest season

190
00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:16,800
Speaker 1: of all time, We've never done wagers and not a

191
00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:19,760
Speaker 1: single one the five nominations a week. I don't think

192
00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:21,839
Speaker 1: we've nominated an Eagles run. I don't think we have.

193
00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:23,839
Speaker 1: It needs to be an angry run though. They are

194
00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:25,920
Speaker 1: a different team. So if you look at the field,

195
00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:29,400
Speaker 1: talk to me, MGD, you're a running back because what

196
00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:32,559
Speaker 1: they do is so different. Defense is all year plan, smaller, faster.

197
00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:35,360
Speaker 1: They want to stop high flying secondaries like the Cowboys

198
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:37,720
Speaker 1: in the Rams. At least this team is a tough

199
00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:40,959
Speaker 1: matchup because they are built different. Well, they're build different

200
00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:43,240
Speaker 1: because their quarterback and run. Right, if you look at it,

201
00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:47,920
Speaker 1: how many running quarterbacks are in the playoffs? Kyler Dak

202
00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:50,839
Speaker 1: used to Josh Allen, Josh Allen like, it just gives

203
00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:52,360
Speaker 1: you and I'm gonna break down some Josh Allen to

204
00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:54,000
Speaker 1: show you. Are you how different? Yet later in the

205
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:56,240
Speaker 1: show how different a running quarterback is because you have

206
00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:57,600
Speaker 1: to account for them. Now you have to play eleven

207
00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:00,280
Speaker 1: on eleven football, and if you miss a tackle, if

208
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:02,480
Speaker 1: you miss a gap, all of a sudden, these guys

209
00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:04,240
Speaker 1: can be sixty yards down the field. And let's not

210
00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:06,200
Speaker 1: forget against the Saints, who had one of the top

211
00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:09,640
Speaker 1: rushing defenses, Jalen Hurts went off for what three rushing touchdowns,

212
00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:11,880
Speaker 1: and that can be the difference in this game. Yeah, Tom,

213
00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:13,080
Speaker 1: you can go and throw the ball and do all

214
00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:16,040
Speaker 1: all you want too. But if it's raining and these

215
00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:18,040
Speaker 1: guys know where they're going and the defense doesn't know,

216
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:20,360
Speaker 1: they have to react, Yeah, better wear those seven studs

217
00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:24,199
Speaker 1: hurt to take off. And again, that's that's my That's

218
00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:26,520
Speaker 1: what scares me is that he can run and they're

219
00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:28,480
Speaker 1: willing to let him run. And some of these other teams.

220
00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:30,480
Speaker 1: They don't all last year I always talked about is

221
00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:33,160
Speaker 1: this Bucks run defense? Are we saying that this year?

222
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:34,680
Speaker 1: When the last time we said that? You know, we

223
00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:36,920
Speaker 1: have some members from Matt Hamilton later in the show

224
00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:39,880
Speaker 1: showing what's going on with the run defense on the

225
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:42,320
Speaker 1: Buck side. That may make you a little easier to

226
00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:44,760
Speaker 1: believe what you're saying about that Eagles squad. All right,

227
00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:47,280
Speaker 1: let's bring in Tom Pellisera. Now, good morning to you.

228
00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:50,280
Speaker 1: A lot of Eagles fans tweeting my friend Peter Schreeger

229
00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:52,040
Speaker 1: right now, I'm sure, but I got to ask you

230
00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:53,920
Speaker 1: about a couple of teams around the league who are

231
00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:56,800
Speaker 1: looking for new general management. What is the latest with

232
00:10:56,840 --> 00:11:00,360
Speaker 1: the Giants and the Vikings. Of course, I think I'm

233
00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:03,160
Speaker 1: gonna tweet Schreger it's way too early for scalding hot

234
00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:06,160
Speaker 1: lane Johnson takes right now, Let's talk about the Vikings

235
00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:08,960
Speaker 1: and the Giants, two teams that blew up the leadership

236
00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:11,120
Speaker 1: of their football operations. Both are going to need to

237
00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:13,120
Speaker 1: hire a head coach, but they're both going to hire

238
00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:16,040
Speaker 1: a general manager first and have that person lead the

239
00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:18,880
Speaker 1: search for the coach. The Giants got a head start

240
00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:23,040
Speaker 1: on Wednesday, doing interviews with Bill's assistant general manager Joe Shane,

241
00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:26,600
Speaker 1: as well as Cardinals executive Adrian Wilson. The Giants interviews

242
00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:31,640
Speaker 1: continue today. Meanwhile, the Vikings put out interview requests on

243
00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:35,839
Speaker 1: Wednesday night. The initial round includes Patriots executive Elliott Wolf,

244
00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:39,319
Speaker 1: Brown's executives Glenn Cook and Quacy Adopho Mensa, as well

245
00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:43,720
Speaker 1: as Eagles executives Brandon Brown and Katherine Raich. Now Rache

246
00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:47,440
Speaker 1: is a notable name here. She is a formers, CFL

247
00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:52,120
Speaker 1: and XFL executive, joined Philadelphia in twenty nineteen who's promoted

248
00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:55,400
Speaker 1: about a year ago to vice president of football Operations,

249
00:11:55,400 --> 00:12:00,120
Speaker 1: making her the highest ranking woman in personnel in the NFL. Okay,

250
00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:03,559
Speaker 1: very cool to see, thank you so much and to

251
00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:06,079
Speaker 1: hear Tom Phillis air talk to you in a little bit.

252
00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:09,560
Speaker 1: Katherine Raiche, very impressive at such a young age. Yeah,

253
00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:12,359
Speaker 1: and what's cool is that the person who she replaces

254
00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:15,560
Speaker 1: Andrew Berry, who's now the general manager of the Cleveland Browns.

255
00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:18,240
Speaker 1: This is one of the rising talents in the league.

256
00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:20,880
Speaker 1: She was an assistant general manager in the CFL. Was

257
00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:23,760
Speaker 1: brought over by Howie Rossman and those guys in Philadelphia

258
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:25,760
Speaker 1: and not only does she scout players, but she also

259
00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:30,200
Speaker 1: has an analytics pen as well. But a young talented

260
00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:32,600
Speaker 1: front office executive. And if you look at the path

261
00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:34,959
Speaker 1: of the shoes that she's filling, Berry went in there

262
00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:38,880
Speaker 1: as a young talented aspiring general manager candidate, interviewed with Cleveland,

263
00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:41,200
Speaker 1: blew them away, got that job. Maybe Katherine could do

264
00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:43,200
Speaker 1: the same for Minnesota. Pretty cool story in the NFL.

265
00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:45,640
Speaker 1: This weeved, very cool story. I'm catching up on her.

266
00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:50,520
Speaker 1: She has a degree in a degree in law and

267
00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:53,080
Speaker 1: she has a master's in tax, which seems like an

268
00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:55,520
Speaker 1: incredible thing to have as a general manager of front

269
00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:57,800
Speaker 1: office type in tax. That seems like a hell of

270
00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:01,000
Speaker 1: her resume. Pretty incredible at fee with Sauce, who've got

271
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:04,959
Speaker 1: more candidacy of course, like seeing why asks is something

272
00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:07,560
Speaker 1: that should be normal. Coming up, Jane Slater gives us

273
00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:10,360
Speaker 1: the latest on Cowboys Niners, and you will discuss the

274
00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:14,240
Speaker 1: road teams and which had the best advantage. Up next,

275
00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:26,959
Speaker 1: super Wild Carter began quickly approaching our very own Jane

276
00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:30,120
Speaker 1: Slater has all the latest on Sundays and renewed rivalry

277
00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:36,640
Speaker 1: game between the Niners and the Cowboys. Don't overcomplicate this thing.

278
00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:39,719
Speaker 1: Don't change your behaviors. That's essentially been the message from

279
00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:42,800
Speaker 1: Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy ahead of their game against

280
00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:45,640
Speaker 1: the forty nine Ers on Sunday. Now, it's been five

281
00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:48,960
Speaker 1: years since Mike McCarthy has been to the postseason, something

282
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:52,240
Speaker 1: even he felt a little shocking, but he did win

283
00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:55,760
Speaker 1: his last two at AT and T Stadium. In terms

284
00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:57,319
Speaker 1: of the game plan, when you match up against the

285
00:13:57,320 --> 00:13:58,800
Speaker 1: forty nine ers, he says, you've got to start with

286
00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:01,400
Speaker 1: what they're doing defensively up front, and he pointed to

287
00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:03,960
Speaker 1: Nick Bosa. He said, just look at his quarterback hits

288
00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:07,040
Speaker 1: thirty two, to be exact, fifteen and a half sacks.

289
00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:09,439
Speaker 1: He also says offensively, this team wants to try and

290
00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:13,000
Speaker 1: run the ball at least thirty attempts. When they do that.

291
00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:15,600
Speaker 1: The Cowboys are nine and oh this season. They had

292
00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:18,839
Speaker 1: thirty two against the Eagles last weekend, but running the

293
00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:21,120
Speaker 1: ball against the forty nine Ers a bit of a challenge.

294
00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:23,960
Speaker 1: They have only allowed one one hundred yard rusher and

295
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:27,440
Speaker 1: their last nine games that team was Seattle. What helps

296
00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:29,320
Speaker 1: him up front, of course, is getting guys back like

297
00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:32,280
Speaker 1: left tackle Tyrant Smith. He was activated off the COVID

298
00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:36,320
Speaker 1: list on Wednesday. Joining him is linebacker Micah Parsons. That

299
00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:42,360
Speaker 1: should help this team defensively. Appreciate you, Jane later Slater.

300
00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:44,480
Speaker 1: The forty nine ers will be going into AT and

301
00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:47,280
Speaker 1: T Stadium this weekend. Of course, anything possible. Things getting

302
00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:49,680
Speaker 1: more aggressive and fast paced in the playoffs. Of the

303
00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:52,000
Speaker 1: six games that we will have on Super wild Card

304
00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:56,880
Speaker 1: weekend two Saturday, three Sunday, one Monday night Wood Road team,

305
00:14:57,280 --> 00:15:01,400
Speaker 1: do you think has the best advanced and chance of

306
00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:04,240
Speaker 1: advancing in the playoffs? Oh? For me, it's it's the Niners.

307
00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:06,160
Speaker 1: And and it goes back to the history. I remember

308
00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:08,760
Speaker 1: growing up in the Bay Area seeing those Niner Cowboys

309
00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:11,200
Speaker 1: games in the nineties. The best, Yeah, and the Niners

310
00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:13,840
Speaker 1: are winning. I mean when Dion came over, the Niners

311
00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:15,560
Speaker 1: are winning. So that's all I remember, right, And so

312
00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:18,320
Speaker 1: what brings me to this is we talked about this yesterday.

313
00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:21,680
Speaker 1: The Sanmeracsco forty nine ers are eighteen. They don't lean

314
00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:23,880
Speaker 1: on just one guy. You have George Kittle in the

315
00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:26,480
Speaker 1: passing game, Deebo Sammy who can run the ball and

316
00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:29,040
Speaker 1: it obviously played the ball. Auk who's showing up big,

317
00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:31,960
Speaker 1: big moments. I don't know. The Niners. You have Eli

318
00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:34,720
Speaker 1: Mitchell and then that defense. They don't allow a hundred

319
00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:37,120
Speaker 1: yard rusher. They stop the run and they get after

320
00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:40,200
Speaker 1: the quarterback. That is a recipe for winning in the playoffs.

321
00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:42,880
Speaker 1: And so for me, what they do travels and it

322
00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:46,320
Speaker 1: can be played anywhere at night in Dallas, anywhere you'd like.

323
00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:48,160
Speaker 1: It is to me this is the Niners. They're playing

324
00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:51,560
Speaker 1: really well right now. Yeah, Niners are might as well

325
00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:53,400
Speaker 1: be the favorites the way the momentum is going right

326
00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:56,080
Speaker 1: now after their game and how the Cowboys finished this season. Um,

327
00:15:56,920 --> 00:15:58,160
Speaker 1: I don't know if to make it with the Raiders,

328
00:15:58,160 --> 00:16:00,240
Speaker 1: but gosh, I wouldn't want to face them. They they

329
00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:02,400
Speaker 1: certainly aren't scared of anybody. I'll tell you that. A

330
00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:04,000
Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago, we were on this show and

331
00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:06,160
Speaker 1: I was before they played the Money Night game against

332
00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:07,880
Speaker 1: the Browns, and I said, if you lose this game,

333
00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:09,520
Speaker 1: it might be time to just tear the whole thing down.

334
00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:11,840
Speaker 1: Move on from Derek Carr, move on from Besacca, maybe

335
00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:15,160
Speaker 1: even just we just blow the whole They haven't lost

336
00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:19,000
Speaker 1: since they've been amazing, and I blew the whole thing

337
00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:20,920
Speaker 1: up and they blew it all the earth down. That's

338
00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:23,760
Speaker 1: maybe why I'm not involved in any of these personnel decisions.

339
00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:28,120
Speaker 1: They've been so like us against the World that I

340
00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:30,920
Speaker 1: don't care if it's the Bengals, the Chiefs, the Titans, whoever,

341
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:32,640
Speaker 1: like I don't want to face them, like I don't

342
00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:35,200
Speaker 1: want to face them. And last week they were down,

343
00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:37,480
Speaker 1: they were up fifteen points, they surrender that lead and

344
00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:39,360
Speaker 1: they go to overtime. They win that way, and it's

345
00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:42,000
Speaker 1: almost like, all right, it's not house money so much,

346
00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:44,680
Speaker 1: but it's also a little bit of gosh, destiny is

347
00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:46,560
Speaker 1: shure on our side things. I'm really going our way.

348
00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:48,720
Speaker 1: Thank you, Brandon Stelly for that time out, much appreciated.

349
00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:51,640
Speaker 1: We'll take it. And you know, Bengals, they haven't won

350
00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:53,920
Speaker 1: a home playoff game since nineteen ninety. They've bought seven

351
00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:57,120
Speaker 1: straight playoff games. Raiders have nothing to lose. I mean,

352
00:16:57,120 --> 00:16:59,720
Speaker 1: they come in there, they win, we keep going, they lose.

353
00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:02,000
Speaker 1: Who the Bengals they've got to answer those questions. The

354
00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:03,680
Speaker 1: Raiders they have nothing to answer. So one of those

355
00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:07,399
Speaker 1: house money Us against the World play and list let's go.

356
00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:09,679
Speaker 1: That might be a popular episode pick. We'll find out tomorrow.

357
00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:11,959
Speaker 1: I look, I'm gonna look at the Cardinals and I'm

358
00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:14,320
Speaker 1: gonna look at the Rams. I like the visional opponents

359
00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:17,000
Speaker 1: in the playoffs. I have doubts about Stafford's still trying

360
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:19,000
Speaker 1: to win his first playoff game. But we gotta get

361
00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:22,479
Speaker 1: to this. Veterans are one thing. A thirty seven year

362
00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:25,080
Speaker 1: old soccer dad is who the Rams signed before they

363
00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:27,240
Speaker 1: go into the playoffs against the car What is going

364
00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:31,040
Speaker 1: on with Eric Weddle's story, because everybody's reaction yesterday seem

365
00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:33,399
Speaker 1: to be the Beard is back the Beard. I know

366
00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:35,320
Speaker 1: he hasn't beard, and I respect it's a cool beard.

367
00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:38,120
Speaker 1: He hasn't played in two seasons and they just signed

368
00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:40,440
Speaker 1: him to bring him in. Jordan Fuller gets hurt their

369
00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:43,679
Speaker 1: safety and is this guy gonna play? Because if he

370
00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:45,960
Speaker 1: was coming in just to be a veteran and consultant everything,

371
00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:48,040
Speaker 1: maybe you just bring him in and you know, he

372
00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:50,280
Speaker 1: visits with some players and he's a nice veteran and

373
00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:52,679
Speaker 1: you say take him out to lunch. He's on the

374
00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:56,040
Speaker 1: team they signed him. So is Weddell gonna be out

375
00:17:56,080 --> 00:17:57,639
Speaker 1: there in meaningful snaps for the first time in two

376
00:17:57,720 --> 00:17:59,720
Speaker 1: years at thirty seven years old? In a playoff game. Help.

377
00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:02,440
Speaker 1: If I'm the Cardinals, I think I'm hoping so too.

378
00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:05,080
Speaker 1: If I'm a fan, I like wettal but like, that's weird,

379
00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:07,399
Speaker 1: really weird, And I don't know what the plan is

380
00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:09,320
Speaker 1: from mcvaying here's the genius and all that, and I

381
00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:11,480
Speaker 1: respect it, but this is a very strange signing. If

382
00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:13,680
Speaker 1: he's out there in meaningful third downs that that, does

383
00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:17,200
Speaker 1: it come out as desperate to you? Yeah? Yeah, like

384
00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:19,600
Speaker 1: that of all the people out there in organism, you

385
00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:24,160
Speaker 1: gotta bring wet wet, no disrespect. Yeah, it's been a minute.

386
00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:26,320
Speaker 1: We could be laughing at this. If he's eating that,

387
00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:29,959
Speaker 1: what want that post game Sunday? He always has for

388
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:31,879
Speaker 1: a victory. But I'm with you on the Cardinals, and

389
00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:35,280
Speaker 1: I got some numbers to show you. These. I can't

390
00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:37,960
Speaker 1: make sense of why, but I know that there's something

391
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:40,400
Speaker 1: here because it's that staggering. Take a look. The Cardinals

392
00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:42,320
Speaker 1: have been way more comfortable in the road this season.

393
00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:46,280
Speaker 1: They are eight and one playing away from Arizona. They're

394
00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:49,440
Speaker 1: averaging a touchdown more per game than they do at home,

395
00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:52,520
Speaker 1: where they are three and five. Remember, they beat the

396
00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:55,320
Speaker 1: Rams in LA when they played them earlier this year.

397
00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:57,200
Speaker 1: I don't know why this is. I don't know why

398
00:18:57,400 --> 00:18:59,560
Speaker 1: they can't play an't like Shelton do you need to

399
00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:02,280
Speaker 1: be there in the building in the desert. But I

400
00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:05,440
Speaker 1: will say this too, this is also important. The Rams

401
00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:08,280
Speaker 1: have not been a team with a winning record at

402
00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:11,639
Speaker 1: home since the Bucks in Week three. They are o

403
00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:14,520
Speaker 1: win three from that point on. They're not winning at

404
00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:16,760
Speaker 1: home and the Cardinals are not winning or not losing

405
00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:19,359
Speaker 1: on the road. Weird, Why how could you be a

406
00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:21,800
Speaker 1: run away from home? I wonder if they're actually hoping

407
00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:23,800
Speaker 1: for road playoff games if they win this one. Like out,

408
00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:26,680
Speaker 1: it shakes out. Sometimes it's just the routine, the travel experience,

409
00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:28,399
Speaker 1: maybe the mentally that's where they are. They have to

410
00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:30,119
Speaker 1: travel and play. Yeah, the whole story when they beat

411
00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:32,240
Speaker 1: the Cowboys was Kyler never loses in Dallas. I was like,

412
00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:35,280
Speaker 1: can you win in Arizona? It'd be great too, you know. Maybe,

413
00:19:35,359 --> 00:19:36,760
Speaker 1: but it doesn't have to worry about it. They're not

414
00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:38,800
Speaker 1: going to play a home game unless there's some crazy

415
00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:40,679
Speaker 1: upsets in the next round. There needs to be too

416
00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:42,399
Speaker 1: comfortable or something. This is why I don't believe in

417
00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:45,040
Speaker 1: homefield advange. I mean, some teams like Kyle's Some teams

418
00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:47,000
Speaker 1: are just comfortable. You have a routine, you don't have

419
00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:49,600
Speaker 1: any distractions, You're on the road the whole burn the

420
00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:52,639
Speaker 1: boat's mentality. Yeah, that's kind of like. Guys, play like that.

421
00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:57,879
Speaker 1: Bring one suit, we'll see, Yeah, exactly. Playoffs are a

422
00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:01,320
Speaker 1: big deal, even for quarterbacks. We talk about it, but like,

423
00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:04,600
Speaker 1: are these offensive linemen ready for this? Because here comes

424
00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:06,600
Speaker 1: t J. Watt and I don't think he cares about

425
00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:09,000
Speaker 1: your PF grade during the season. Yeah, we're Tray Smith,

426
00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:11,399
Speaker 1: your greats draft story and how you're taking in a

427
00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:13,359
Speaker 1: huge value. We'll see if you show up under the

428
00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:15,480
Speaker 1: bright lights at Arrowhead. I don't know somebody who I

429
00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:17,960
Speaker 1: think might be ready. He's a fan favorite. In this

430
00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:21,960
Speaker 1: first year joining us from the Steel City, sixty catches, guys,

431
00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:24,359
Speaker 1: That is the most by a tight end since Heath

432
00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:26,960
Speaker 1: Miller in twenty fifteen. We all know how much Big

433
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:29,439
Speaker 1: Ben love throwing his way, and now we love throwing

434
00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:33,879
Speaker 1: in the direction of this young player getting ready for

435
00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:36,480
Speaker 1: a playoff matchup in Kansas City. Stay it with me, guys,

436
00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:42,680
Speaker 1: Please welcome to the table. Pittsburgh tight head Friar, what's

437
00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:48,800
Speaker 1: the pat We're great, I know you're keeping it even Keel.

438
00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:50,920
Speaker 1: It's the morning. You've got lots of going on, big

439
00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:53,879
Speaker 1: playoff game, but I want you to talk about what's

440
00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:57,080
Speaker 1: in the rear view mirror. The regular season's over your

441
00:20:57,119 --> 00:20:59,880
Speaker 1: in Steeler Nation, they love you. They're yelling muth their wave,

442
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:03,800
Speaker 1: their terrible towels. It is an emotional year with everything

443
00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:06,119
Speaker 1: going on with Big Ben in his future. Where do

444
00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:09,680
Speaker 1: your feelings go when you think about these past seventeen

445
00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:13,920
Speaker 1: weeks eighteen weeks, Yeah, it takes me back a long time.

446
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:16,360
Speaker 1: I'm obviously just coming here at OTAs after the draft

447
00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:18,440
Speaker 1: and stuff like that. Just it's kind of weird it

448
00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:20,280
Speaker 1: now being the end of the season and us getting

449
00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:23,359
Speaker 1: ready for the playoffs. I think, UM and OTAs, you know,

450
00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:26,160
Speaker 1: they've obviously talked about, you know, making that i'll playoff

451
00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:28,119
Speaker 1: run and playoff push and stuff like that, and you

452
00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:29,520
Speaker 1: know we were able to do that winning three of

453
00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:32,679
Speaker 1: the last four, so um, you know, it's it's awesome

454
00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:34,439
Speaker 1: to kind of be at this point where you know

455
00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:36,000
Speaker 1: the season's not done yet and you still have a

456
00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:40,840
Speaker 1: couple more games hopefully. The play a team was a

457
00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:43,120
Speaker 1: roller coaster for you guys, and anytime you play Baltimore.

458
00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:45,280
Speaker 1: We kind of know how that goes. But that game

459
00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:48,200
Speaker 1: went into overtime and you had a huge catch down

460
00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:51,840
Speaker 1: the stretch that helps steal the game. This is a

461
00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:53,920
Speaker 1: question what was the mindset going into that game and

462
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:56,159
Speaker 1: how where were you guys? What was going on in

463
00:21:56,200 --> 00:22:01,120
Speaker 1: Jacksonville with the Jags beating the Colts. Yeah, I mean

464
00:22:01,119 --> 00:22:03,199
Speaker 1: we were definitely aware of that sport Um. You know,

465
00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:05,399
Speaker 1: we kept kind of looking up and I remember me

466
00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:07,560
Speaker 1: and the other tight end Gentry, we were looking up

467
00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:09,760
Speaker 1: at the squareboard and saw Trevor lawrencemon for like eight

468
00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:12,480
Speaker 1: for eight for a touchdown on the first drive. Oh damn.

469
00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:16,560
Speaker 1: So we kind of had to get going. And you

470
00:22:16,600 --> 00:22:18,119
Speaker 1: know we had to win that game because obviously we

471
00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:21,240
Speaker 1: saw the closet loss. So um, you know, coming up

472
00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:23,920
Speaker 1: bigging over time and fourth quarter or something like that.

473
00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:26,480
Speaker 1: You know, it's a big time for our organization getting

474
00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:31,680
Speaker 1: too that. But and yet it wasn't over. Pat Sunday

475
00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:35,720
Speaker 1: got nuts. It really did as fans, as players, as

476
00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:38,359
Speaker 1: as human beings. So you go into the Sunday Night

477
00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:42,160
Speaker 1: or it's Raiders Chargers, just don't tie, just do anything

478
00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:45,520
Speaker 1: other than tie. And yet dam it really looked like

479
00:22:45,520 --> 00:22:47,280
Speaker 1: it was going to be a tie. And you guys,

480
00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:49,880
Speaker 1: after partying and dancing and all this great stuff, Mike

481
00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:52,840
Speaker 1: get eliminated by a tie. Your coach said he fell

482
00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:55,480
Speaker 1: asleep during the game. Your thoughts on that and what

483
00:22:55,600 --> 00:23:00,359
Speaker 1: was your experience on Sunday night. Yeah, you know, I

484
00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:02,840
Speaker 1: went to bed when the Rats are up tweting on fourteen,

485
00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:05,720
Speaker 1: and um, I got a call from my sister waking

486
00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:07,720
Speaker 1: me up, like you see this game right now. I'm like, yeah,

487
00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:10,520
Speaker 1: like Rays are gonna win and the like, No, the

488
00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:12,320
Speaker 1: Charges are actually driving from the time of the game,

489
00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:15,120
Speaker 1: and then joshin Harvard decided to just to burn every

490
00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:21,200
Speaker 1: fourth down possible and um yeah, it was definitely, um,

491
00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:24,960
Speaker 1: definitely stressful, but I'm happy that, Um, you know, the

492
00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:27,600
Speaker 1: Raiders end up kicking out field goal and I'm saying

493
00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:31,760
Speaker 1: us into the playoffs. It's the It's the greatest time

494
00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:34,359
Speaker 1: out in Steelers history. It really is. Uh. And we

495
00:23:34,359 --> 00:23:36,240
Speaker 1: were here the next morning and we were laughing about

496
00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:39,840
Speaker 1: it being like, imagine being a Steelers fan, actually imagine

497
00:23:39,840 --> 00:23:42,280
Speaker 1: being a Steelers player. I can only imagine speaking as

498
00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:44,159
Speaker 1: Steelers players. I'm gonna go off script because I was

499
00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:47,040
Speaker 1: watching the game Sunday and I'm listening to the game

500
00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:49,199
Speaker 1: on the audio and I know it's in Baltimore, but

501
00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:52,480
Speaker 1: you still could hear the crowd. You mentioned Zach Gentry.

502
00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:55,080
Speaker 1: This guy is six foot eight. Now, Kyle and I

503
00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:56,639
Speaker 1: will go out in public some times people will come

504
00:23:56,680 --> 00:23:58,040
Speaker 1: up to me and be like, hey, Kyle, I love

505
00:23:58,080 --> 00:23:59,320
Speaker 1: the show, and I'm like, hey, yeah, I got it.

506
00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:03,639
Speaker 1: Is making catches and the entire crowd is going muse

507
00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:07,000
Speaker 1: and they're just assuming that Zach is you and you

508
00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:10,600
Speaker 1: are him. What is your reaction when they're doing muse? Chance,

509
00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:14,560
Speaker 1: when six foot eight, big ten Zach Gentry is making

510
00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:18,560
Speaker 1: catches at tight end, it's hilarious. I mean I remember

511
00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:21,040
Speaker 1: the first time they did. I think it was against

512
00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:23,240
Speaker 1: the Browsers on my dad and he cut the ball

513
00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:25,440
Speaker 1: and her swit personnel. So I was coming on the

514
00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:27,320
Speaker 1: Phillies coming off and he just looked at me and

515
00:24:27,359 --> 00:24:28,720
Speaker 1: gave me like that kind of look where it's like,

516
00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:33,120
Speaker 1: you gotta be kidding me, But no, it's funny. It's

517
00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:35,399
Speaker 1: funny to hear, and uh, you know, he's one of

518
00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:39,600
Speaker 1: my best friends on team, so it's fun. You're a

519
00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:41,880
Speaker 1: lot of fun. We hope you have fun at Arrowheads,

520
00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:44,640
Speaker 1: Stay warm, stay safe, go crush it for that Steelers

521
00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:46,280
Speaker 1: fan base in Big Ben, we'd like to see him

Speaker 1: Shall It starts with a doubleheader on it Saturday Raiders

538
00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:41,800
Speaker 1: at Bengals. Then in the nightcap Patriots going to Buffalo

539
00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:44,160
Speaker 1: for a round three taken on the Bill. Sunday night,

540
00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:48,680
Speaker 1: the Steelers take on Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs. Steelers

541
00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:52,000
Speaker 1: including pet fryar mood he joined our show today. Very cool,

542
00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:56,760
Speaker 1: tough draw for Pittsburgh, right, let's be honest. Pretty sarcastic

543
00:25:56,760 --> 00:26:00,159
Speaker 1: comments from Big Ben talking about his team's chances just

544
00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:04,040
Speaker 1: yesterday anymore. You know, we probably aren't supposed to be here.

545
00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:05,800
Speaker 1: Are probably not a very good football team. We're the

546
00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:08,440
Speaker 1: out of fourteen teams I think are in we're probably

547
00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:13,200
Speaker 1: number fourteen. We're double digit underdog in the playoffs. So

548
00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:14,960
Speaker 1: let's just go play and have fun and see what happens.

549
00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:17,560
Speaker 1: I mean, we're probably twenty point underdogs and we're going

550
00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:19,920
Speaker 1: to the number one the number one team. That's I

551
00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:21,119
Speaker 1: know they're not the number one Sea, but they're the

552
00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:23,320
Speaker 1: number one team. Is one the AFC the last two years,

553
00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:27,720
Speaker 1: arguably the best team in football. M we don't have

554
00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:29,480
Speaker 1: a chance, so let's just go in and play and

555
00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:37,320
Speaker 1: have fun. Awesome big Ben playing the underdog card hard.

556
00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:40,320
Speaker 1: It wasn't too long ago Week sixteen that the Chiefs

557
00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:42,600
Speaker 1: did dominate the Steelers. They put up thirty six points

558
00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:45,520
Speaker 1: in a hurry. The Steelers just ten in that law.

559
00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:49,359
Speaker 1: So why will Sunday Nights game on Super wild Card

560
00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:52,840
Speaker 1: weekend turn out any different from that first matchup, which

561
00:26:52,920 --> 00:26:54,960
Speaker 1: was not that long ago. No, No, I don't know

562
00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:57,480
Speaker 1: if it will. God, I love that quick It was

563
00:26:57,520 --> 00:27:00,320
Speaker 1: pretty cool, so loose. So look, we've been waiting eighteen

564
00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:03,040
Speaker 1: years for him. They're usually pretty tight with the media. Yeah,

565
00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:04,600
Speaker 1: I guess, I guess we're do you guys? You tell

566
00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:07,359
Speaker 1: that's awesome, Ben, And I think that's exactly where I

567
00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:09,359
Speaker 1: want him. But you know how, the how's it going

568
00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:10,960
Speaker 1: to be different from last time? You know how? The

569
00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:14,120
Speaker 1: hot phrase right now is somebody's gonna eat in this game.

570
00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:16,560
Speaker 1: He's got to eat. Like. Everybody's saying that t J.

571
00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:18,520
Speaker 1: Watt has got to eat. He's got to eat like

572
00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:21,440
Speaker 1: because this is the thing. Last time they play, last

573
00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:23,560
Speaker 1: time they played against the Chiefs, t watch him out

574
00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:25,320
Speaker 1: of a sack. Okay, And this is a game where

575
00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:27,240
Speaker 1: he has as many or more than any human being

576
00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:28,920
Speaker 1: in history, did not have a sack, not even a

577
00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:32,320
Speaker 1: half sack. In fact, t J. Watt in three games

578
00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:34,920
Speaker 1: against the Chiefs has never had a sack. So either

579
00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:37,199
Speaker 1: Mahomes knows how to go get away from him or

580
00:27:37,240 --> 00:27:39,600
Speaker 1: the Chiefs know how to skime against him. T J.

581
00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:41,800
Speaker 1: Watt needs to eat in this game. I don't think

582
00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:43,600
Speaker 1: they have a shot like this. There's a couple things

583
00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:46,320
Speaker 1: that have to happen for a very wild upset. Never

584
00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:49,080
Speaker 1: mind keeping it close or they lost by six. It's Pittsburgh.

585
00:27:49,119 --> 00:27:51,399
Speaker 1: There's no keeping it close. You win the game or not.

586
00:27:51,600 --> 00:27:53,560
Speaker 1: And I've been thinking about this something about Maurice said

587
00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:56,240
Speaker 1: yesterday about what needs to see from Naigie Harris. This

588
00:27:56,320 --> 00:27:58,359
Speaker 1: is my recipe for the Steelers winning the game. I

589
00:27:58,359 --> 00:28:01,080
Speaker 1: think there's some non negotiable ingredients and every single one

590
00:28:01,119 --> 00:28:03,880
Speaker 1: has to tap from the top. Oh, I need three sacks,

591
00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:06,400
Speaker 1: not two and a half three. I also need two

592
00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:08,080
Speaker 1: Chiefs turn offs. I don't care whether there it could

593
00:28:08,119 --> 00:28:10,240
Speaker 1: be fumbles. I mean especially get a bingo board going

594
00:28:10,280 --> 00:28:13,200
Speaker 1: Sunday night and off center square all right, I need

595
00:28:13,280 --> 00:28:15,800
Speaker 1: a defensive score. I don't care who it's from. But

596
00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:17,800
Speaker 1: these are all non negotiable if you get. If you

597
00:28:17,800 --> 00:28:19,880
Speaker 1: miss one of these, you lose NA one hundred fifty

598
00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:22,280
Speaker 1: total yards. Successful trick play. You saw they try to

599
00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:25,520
Speaker 1: flee flicker and then the bottom most important, Ben, I

600
00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:29,200
Speaker 1: just need three throws, three quality NFL throw three. That's it.

601
00:28:29,280 --> 00:28:32,760
Speaker 1: Like I know he's gonna attempt several passes. I need

602
00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:35,440
Speaker 1: three that are like, oh man, he hit the deep

603
00:28:35,440 --> 00:28:37,800
Speaker 1: out on third and six for ten yards, or he

604
00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:40,200
Speaker 1: did the skinny post for fifteen. I don't want to

605
00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:42,120
Speaker 1: push my luck. All he need is three and they're

606
00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:44,400
Speaker 1: gonna be on third downs. If every single one of

607
00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:46,200
Speaker 1: those is hit, I think Pittsburgh can win. In fact,

608
00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:48,480
Speaker 1: they will win if even one of them is missing.

609
00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:50,360
Speaker 1: It's casey. That's how stack this thing is. And I

610
00:28:50,360 --> 00:28:53,160
Speaker 1: think Ben knows it. When Ben came into the league,

611
00:28:53,280 --> 00:28:56,640
Speaker 1: go on in two thousand and five, he was this

612
00:28:56,840 --> 00:29:00,440
Speaker 1: big quarterback who with this big body. But it was basically, Ben,

613
00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:03,960
Speaker 1: don't kill us, don't hurt us, rely on that guy

614
00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:06,800
Speaker 1: behind you, number thirty six, rely on Deuce Staley, and

615
00:29:06,800 --> 00:29:09,240
Speaker 1: then after that, rely on Willie Parker. And then we

616
00:29:09,320 --> 00:29:11,360
Speaker 1: got Hines Ward on that side, who's really good, and

617
00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:13,000
Speaker 1: Randall ll is a good trick guy and we can

618
00:29:13,040 --> 00:29:15,200
Speaker 1: do things with him. And we've got the best offensive

619
00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:17,400
Speaker 1: line in football, and let's just not and then give

620
00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:20,240
Speaker 1: our defense a chance to make a play like, it's

621
00:29:20,240 --> 00:29:23,680
Speaker 1: amazing that Ben came into the league like that and

622
00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:25,760
Speaker 1: then had these amazing seasons of league the league and

623
00:29:25,800 --> 00:29:28,600
Speaker 1: passing yards. He's going to go out of the league

624
00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:31,680
Speaker 1: like he came in, And I think it's kind of

625
00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:33,720
Speaker 1: cool that he gets this opportunity. And I know he's

626
00:29:33,760 --> 00:29:36,400
Speaker 1: not he's probably watching her. He's here and there like opportunity.

627
00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:37,960
Speaker 1: I played a million plaoff gas. I don't need your

628
00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:41,200
Speaker 1: your pity. Last year's playoff finish when they lost to

629
00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:44,240
Speaker 1: the Browns was one of the worst playoff games you've

630
00:29:44,280 --> 00:29:46,440
Speaker 1: ever seen from a quarterback. It just did not look

631
00:29:46,480 --> 00:29:48,320
Speaker 1: like he belonged out there anymore. It looked like it

632
00:29:48,360 --> 00:29:50,200
Speaker 1: was time to maybe move on, so much so that

633
00:29:50,240 --> 00:29:53,200
Speaker 1: this offseason it was like, could Dawayne Haskins actually be

634
00:29:53,240 --> 00:29:56,480
Speaker 1: the better quarterback? In preseason, like we're having those conversations,

635
00:29:57,760 --> 00:29:59,680
Speaker 1: I feel like, this is the coolest deal for Ben

636
00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:04,160
Speaker 1: House money, nothing to lose, This was a gift. When

637
00:30:04,200 --> 00:30:08,000
Speaker 1: they lost to the Chiefs on Week sixteen, they lost

638
00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:10,680
Speaker 1: thirty six to ten and kind of put them away,

639
00:30:10,760 --> 00:30:13,520
Speaker 1: and it was like, all right, the Steelers Ben, it

640
00:30:13,560 --> 00:30:15,040
Speaker 1: was cool, like whatever, He's gonna have a home game

641
00:30:15,080 --> 00:30:17,440
Speaker 1: next Monday Night against the Browns. Will celebrate that and whatever.

642
00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:20,040
Speaker 1: He'll do a lapper on the field. They had a

643
00:30:20,160 --> 00:30:22,240
Speaker 1: nine percent chance of making the playoffs. That was two

644
00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:25,880
Speaker 1: weeks ago, nine percent chance. They needed ninety one percent

645
00:30:25,960 --> 00:30:30,000
Speaker 1: chance things to happen, and they all happen. This is magical.

646
00:30:30,040 --> 00:30:31,880
Speaker 1: This is house money. That's all I got. I don't

647
00:30:31,880 --> 00:30:33,440
Speaker 1: have a Bengo board. I don't have a way to stop.

648
00:30:33,520 --> 00:30:35,880
Speaker 1: Like he said about the Raiders, it's that loosens and

649
00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:38,800
Speaker 1: this one for Ben, Like if there's any sentimentality out

650
00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:40,720
Speaker 1: there for Ben, and there's I feel like it's not

651
00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:42,960
Speaker 1: the same thing when Eli was retiring or Payton. Know,

652
00:30:43,040 --> 00:30:45,160
Speaker 1: those guys a different character, different guy in the league.

653
00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:49,920
Speaker 1: But if there's any juice left for Ben Roethlisberger, go

654
00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:51,760
Speaker 1: out of the league like you came in hand the

655
00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:54,000
Speaker 1: ball off and let's live to fight another day. I

656
00:30:54,040 --> 00:30:56,760
Speaker 1: don't know if there's nothing to lose, though, Like if

657
00:30:56,760 --> 00:30:59,280
Speaker 1: they lose forty one to three, like Marina lost sixty

658
00:30:59,320 --> 00:31:00,880
Speaker 1: two to nothing his last game, I don't think we

659
00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:04,880
Speaker 1: talk about it, still remember it. That's what I'm saying. Guys.

660
00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:06,600
Speaker 1: For me, it's it's like you gotta look at the

661
00:31:06,640 --> 00:31:09,920
Speaker 1: other side, Kansas City didn't have Travis Kelsey. Tyrek Hill

662
00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:11,680
Speaker 1: did have a big day. We've talked about that a

663
00:31:11,720 --> 00:31:15,000
Speaker 1: tony um and you still lost thirty six to ten.

664
00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:18,560
Speaker 1: Like that. That's a problem, right because you're gonna get

665
00:31:18,560 --> 00:31:20,800
Speaker 1: all these guys back, and yes, Hill is a little

666
00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:22,960
Speaker 1: banged up, but Travis Kelsey plays a huge part in this.

667
00:31:23,200 --> 00:31:25,680
Speaker 1: Let's remember who who was the guy in this game

668
00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:28,520
Speaker 1: was Byron Pringle, Who's the one that made the megan

669
00:31:28,560 --> 00:31:31,600
Speaker 1: most of the places look To me, it's like, I

670
00:31:31,800 --> 00:31:34,640
Speaker 1: loved all the stuff about Pittsburgh and I'm a big

671
00:31:34,680 --> 00:31:38,040
Speaker 1: Mike Tomlin fan. Love loved what they're about. I think

672
00:31:38,080 --> 00:31:40,400
Speaker 1: that's the way football should be played. But man, it's

673
00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:42,960
Speaker 1: gonna be tough to go into Ksey with them having

674
00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:46,120
Speaker 1: all their weapons. It seems like Clyde Evers, Hilaire maybe back,

675
00:31:46,400 --> 00:31:50,720
Speaker 1: like all these different things to to make it close.

676
00:31:50,840 --> 00:31:53,160
Speaker 1: That's just me. I just don't know how it happens.

677
00:31:53,480 --> 00:31:57,120
Speaker 1: Proved me wrong, but it's tough to We were in

678
00:31:57,200 --> 00:32:00,000
Speaker 1: Kansas City for a playoff game. It ain't it's not easy.

679
00:32:00,280 --> 00:32:01,800
Speaker 1: We get a great time. We did have a great time.

680
00:32:01,840 --> 00:32:04,880
Speaker 1: It's not easy down there. To win. So I don't know.

681
00:32:04,880 --> 00:32:06,480
Speaker 1: I just kind of just like, I don't see. I

682
00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:08,120
Speaker 1: don't think the feel will change. I don't think anything

683
00:32:08,160 --> 00:32:10,080
Speaker 1: will change. I think it'll be the same. Nagi isn't

684
00:32:10,080 --> 00:32:12,560
Speaker 1: an X factor for you. I love nag experience and

685
00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:15,560
Speaker 1: pedigree both sides. You've back going. It just too much,

686
00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:18,400
Speaker 1: too much firepower for the Chiefs, right, they scored too

687
00:32:18,480 --> 00:32:20,440
Speaker 1: quickly in too many different one in your dream scenario.

688
00:32:20,560 --> 00:32:22,120
Speaker 1: If they are to pull an upset, how does it

689
00:32:22,160 --> 00:32:25,480
Speaker 1: even happen? Well, well, I think the ingredients has to happen,

690
00:32:25,560 --> 00:32:28,000
Speaker 1: Like I wouldn't say that successful play and like, but

691
00:32:28,080 --> 00:32:30,360
Speaker 1: you have to score on defense. Yes, you have to

692
00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:33,080
Speaker 1: put pressure on my homes and company. And even with that,

693
00:32:33,120 --> 00:32:35,160
Speaker 1: we've seen the Houston Texas do it. We've seen other

694
00:32:35,200 --> 00:32:37,880
Speaker 1: teams get these big leads and they come roaring bat right.

695
00:32:37,880 --> 00:32:40,840
Speaker 1: So I just don't know, Like I don't it's hard

696
00:32:40,840 --> 00:32:43,320
Speaker 1: for me to visualize how that happens. Maybe Naji goes

697
00:32:43,360 --> 00:32:45,080
Speaker 1: for three hundred, I don't know. Like, you have to

698
00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:47,000
Speaker 1: run the ball and keep away and get some defensive scores.

699
00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:48,720
Speaker 1: It's gonna say time of possession sounds like a way

700
00:32:48,720 --> 00:32:52,719
Speaker 1: to keep that offense, they're heated benches and arrowhead. All right,

701
00:32:52,720 --> 00:32:55,080
Speaker 1: we've got more good Morning football of course on the

702
00:32:55,160 --> 00:32:57,880
Speaker 1: way with but welcome and Tom Pellisier to give us

703
00:32:57,880 --> 00:33:00,400
Speaker 1: some updates around the league right now, Tom, thanks for

704
00:33:00,520 --> 00:33:02,880
Speaker 1: joining us. Let's stick with the Steelers Chiefs. The last

705
00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:06,040
Speaker 1: time we saw tyreeek kill he was limping onto the

706
00:33:06,080 --> 00:33:08,480
Speaker 1: field or on the field. So what would you say

707
00:33:08,520 --> 00:33:13,240
Speaker 1: his status is for this weekend? Okay? A good sign

708
00:33:13,320 --> 00:33:16,040
Speaker 1: for the Chiefs and Tyree Hill, their star wide receiver,

709
00:33:16,240 --> 00:33:20,000
Speaker 1: was a full participant in practice on Wednesday. He'll play

710
00:33:20,120 --> 00:33:23,720
Speaker 1: just fourteen snaps last week against the Broncos after suffering

711
00:33:23,800 --> 00:33:27,320
Speaker 1: a heel injury during pregame warmups. Coach Andy Reid said

712
00:33:27,360 --> 00:33:30,040
Speaker 1: on Monday the hills heel was sore the next day,

713
00:33:30,040 --> 00:33:32,120
Speaker 1: but he expected him to play this week. Being a

714
00:33:32,160 --> 00:33:35,680
Speaker 1: full participant certainly is a positive as they move forward

715
00:33:35,680 --> 00:33:38,280
Speaker 1: through the course this week. Meanwhile, running backs Clyde Edwards,

716
00:33:38,440 --> 00:33:41,720
Speaker 1: Lair and Darryl Williams both limited in practice on Wednesday

717
00:33:41,720 --> 00:33:44,880
Speaker 1: because of their injuries. Reid said that those two looked good,

718
00:33:45,120 --> 00:33:47,800
Speaker 1: as did Hill. They'll continue to monitor them lean up

719
00:33:47,840 --> 00:33:57,240
Speaker 1: the Sunday against the Steelers. Although they're still day with fantasy.

720
00:33:57,280 --> 00:33:59,000
Speaker 1: I had a Super wild Card weekend and I'll have

721
00:33:59,040 --> 00:34:02,840
Speaker 1: some values for you. Then it is time for Fantasy Awards,

722
00:34:02,920 --> 00:34:06,840
Speaker 1: honoring the players who changed the season, sometimes for better,

723
00:34:06,920 --> 00:34:10,520
Speaker 1: sometimes for worse. Welcome to the twenty twenty one Fantasy

Speaker 1: Football Awards. Now. We gave out three yesterday. It was

725
00:34:12,920 --> 00:34:15,080

Speaker 1: give out today. Let's get to it. Let's go. You

728
00:34:21,440 --> 00:34:25,160
Speaker 1: it's all about making a name for yourself, exploding onto

729
00:34:25,200 --> 00:34:27,840
Speaker 1: the scene with a performance that people will talk about

730
00:34:27,920 --> 00:34:30,680
Speaker 1: and no one will forget. This award goes to a

731
00:34:30,719 --> 00:34:34,000
Speaker 1: fresh face, the best newcomer of twenty twenty one, a

732
00:34:34,080 --> 00:34:36,960
Speaker 1: player that ran the gambit on the rest of the league.

733
00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:42,719
Speaker 1: This is the Anna Taylor Joy and the nominees are

734
00:34:42,920 --> 00:34:47,359
Speaker 1: picture Steelers running back Najee Harris, who put up over

735
00:34:47,480 --> 00:34:51,600
Speaker 1: sixteen hundred yards, Bengals receiver Jamar Chase, who of course

736
00:34:51,640 --> 00:34:56,360
Speaker 1: broke Justin Jefferson's rookie receiving record. Guys, Dolphins receiver Jaylen Waddle.

737
00:34:56,440 --> 00:34:59,040
Speaker 1: I mean, who else could get Peter Schrager to waddle

738
00:34:59,520 --> 00:35:02,200
Speaker 1: as off fanes he has uh and he led all

739
00:35:02,280 --> 00:35:04,360
Speaker 1: rookies and receptions of course, and then falcons tight than

740
00:35:04,480 --> 00:35:07,000
Speaker 1: Kyle Fitz who quietly did become the first rookie tight

741
00:35:07,040 --> 00:35:10,120
Speaker 1: then to put up a thousand yards since Mike did

742
00:35:10,239 --> 00:35:15,040
Speaker 1: cut Wow. Though I think Naji had the hardest job.

743
00:35:15,480 --> 00:35:17,320
Speaker 1: I think that he had a lot on his shoulders.

744
00:35:17,400 --> 00:35:19,920
Speaker 1: Jamar was a fantastic but I think Najie had a

745
00:35:19,960 --> 00:35:23,239
Speaker 1: more degree of difficulty. I have maybe a hot take

746
00:35:23,320 --> 00:35:26,440
Speaker 1: fantasy wise here, Jaalen Waddle was the most consistently to

747
00:35:26,480 --> 00:35:29,120
Speaker 1: meet Jayleen. Jalen Waddle did it every single week if

748
00:35:29,120 --> 00:35:31,879
Speaker 1: you had him, Jamal had some some heroes, he had

749
00:35:31,920 --> 00:35:35,120
Speaker 1: some two and that week seventeen game over two sixty six.

750
00:35:35,160 --> 00:35:37,160
Speaker 1: Most people who owned him did not get to benefit

751
00:35:37,200 --> 00:35:42,000
Speaker 1: from that, because it's well said Jalen. First five weeks

752
00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:45,880
Speaker 1: of the season, fixt season, quiet quiet, he had not

753
00:35:45,960 --> 00:35:49,719
Speaker 1: great games either. The winner apparently we're going who knew?

754
00:35:50,880 --> 00:35:55,279
Speaker 1: Nai knew that was gonna happen from Annioch that was

755
00:35:55,520 --> 00:35:58,799
Speaker 1: what is it? Spotlight? Agree with your choice? Yeah, that's all.

756
00:35:59,200 --> 00:36:01,080
Speaker 1: That's why we've been at m J deal right. He

757
00:36:01,160 --> 00:36:04,959
Speaker 1: led all running backs. He like for him well, leading

758
00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:07,920
Speaker 1: all rookie running backs would have been cool every running backs.

759
00:36:07,920 --> 00:36:11,040
Speaker 1: He led the league and catches a seventy four second

760
00:36:11,040 --> 00:36:13,880
Speaker 1: in total yards, third and scoring. He also led all

761
00:36:13,960 --> 00:36:17,799
Speaker 1: rookies in scoring with over three hundred points on the year.

762
00:36:17,880 --> 00:36:19,600
Speaker 1: So you can have your Mac Jones, you can have

763
00:36:19,600 --> 00:36:22,080
Speaker 1: your big Chase game. He had more Fantasy points than

764
00:36:22,120 --> 00:36:25,279
Speaker 1: any of that. He also had two angry run excepters.

765
00:36:25,520 --> 00:36:27,920
Speaker 1: And you know what's annoying in Fantasy k when you

766
00:36:27,960 --> 00:36:29,120
Speaker 1: have the running back out there and you get that

767
00:36:29,120 --> 00:36:33,320
Speaker 1: little minus two points for the fumble, not him, not him.

768
00:36:33,440 --> 00:36:35,560
Speaker 1: That's honestly one of the step most step more staggering

769
00:36:35,560 --> 00:36:39,520
Speaker 1: and impressive staffs and incredible na touches. Right yes, stair

770
00:36:39,560 --> 00:36:42,080
Speaker 1: Car's never playing the playoff game and nag rumble. Those

771
00:36:42,080 --> 00:36:44,120
Speaker 1: are sort of weird, all right. Our next award is

772
00:36:44,120 --> 00:36:48,120
Speaker 1: all about we're turning to form someone who was out

773
00:36:48,120 --> 00:36:51,239
Speaker 1: of the fantasy headlines and put on a masterclass in

774
00:36:51,280 --> 00:36:54,239
Speaker 1: the art of the bounce back when their team and

775
00:36:54,400 --> 00:36:58,080
Speaker 1: fantasy owners needed them most. We love a rebound performance

776
00:36:58,080 --> 00:36:59,920
Speaker 1: here on the show. We love a callback to a

777
00:37:00,120 --> 00:37:04,680
Speaker 1: better time or a rebound relationship. This is the Benefit Award.

778
00:37:05,560 --> 00:37:08,480
Speaker 1: Benefer two point zero. It is back. And if there

779
00:37:08,480 --> 00:37:10,840
Speaker 1: are three, there are lots of four nominees, right, but

780
00:37:10,960 --> 00:37:14,920
Speaker 1: three of the nominees are actually sitting right here in studio. Guys,

781
00:37:15,040 --> 00:37:18,680
Speaker 1: what they are us? Yes, they're right here. Our first

782
00:37:18,760 --> 00:37:23,399
Speaker 1: nominee Kyle Brandt, who bounced back from a wardrobe malfunction

783
00:37:23,560 --> 00:37:27,879
Speaker 1: during his Angry Run segments back in octob particles. There's

784
00:37:27,880 --> 00:37:29,520
Speaker 1: a Thursday night or like four years ago, and it

785
00:37:29,560 --> 00:37:30,880
Speaker 1: was the Jets versus the Bills, and we went to

786
00:37:30,920 --> 00:37:33,680
Speaker 1: MetLife Stadium and we Josh mccon was the quarterback of

787
00:37:33,680 --> 00:37:35,200
Speaker 1: the Jets at the time. We were down on the field.

788
00:37:35,400 --> 00:37:37,440
Speaker 1: He comes over, he hugs Peter and of all the things,

789
00:37:37,480 --> 00:37:39,919
Speaker 1: joshman kind of saying, yo strikes your fly is down.

790
00:37:40,080 --> 00:37:42,760
Speaker 1: And he became this legendary moment before a game, before

791
00:37:42,760 --> 00:37:46,520
Speaker 1: a game, he's in full pads and unman and no

792
00:37:46,560 --> 00:37:49,560
Speaker 1: one did that for me. Again, How didn't did you

793
00:37:49,560 --> 00:37:51,279
Speaker 1: want him to? Would he have wanted him to walk

794
00:37:51,360 --> 00:37:53,879
Speaker 1: up to you? Because I was thinking Josh on the

795
00:37:53,880 --> 00:37:56,160
Speaker 1: field made his way to be there. It kind of

796
00:37:56,200 --> 00:37:58,719
Speaker 1: anything goes in that segment. How about Kyle, your fly

797
00:37:58,960 --> 00:38:03,360
Speaker 1: is down? And then I would have pulled it up. Yeah,

798
00:38:03,440 --> 00:38:06,360
Speaker 1: Kyle was up here as fly was down. I sawed.

799
00:38:06,400 --> 00:38:08,360
Speaker 1: I tried messaging it to Streger. I was like Shrigger

800
00:38:08,400 --> 00:38:12,279
Speaker 1: bro bro bro code blo. Didn't trigger. Was enamored about

801
00:38:12,280 --> 00:38:14,600
Speaker 1: you what you were saying. But you rebounded really well.

802
00:38:14,719 --> 00:38:15,960
Speaker 1: I really did, and you know what it said. It's

803
00:38:15,960 --> 00:38:18,560
Speaker 1: possible we're not allowed to show that clipping. It might

804
00:38:18,600 --> 00:38:21,560
Speaker 1: have been indecent. So that was the follow up story.

805
00:38:21,719 --> 00:38:26,440
Speaker 1: Also broken scepter up here, almost passed out up here.

806

818
00:39:35,719 --> 00:39:38,880
Speaker 1: all know, bounced back from a droft pass and a

819
00:39:39,040 --> 00:39:45,760
Speaker 1: near traumatic tragedy esque collision. Got real with Scooter Man.

820
00:39:50,800 --> 00:39:58,879

Speaker 1: the safety come in? God on the safety, that's the safety.

822
00:40:07,880 --> 00:40:10,799
Speaker 1: He almost took me out too, good thing. I still

823
00:40:10,840 --> 00:40:18,239
Speaker 1: can see out of breath, gentleman. Scooter Man. That was

824
00:40:18,480 --> 00:40:21,279
Speaker 1: very dangerous because if that ball hits the scooter, he

825
00:40:21,400 --> 00:40:24,359
Speaker 1: faced plants onto the New York Pavenit. Scooter Man year

826
00:40:24,360 --> 00:40:26,360
Speaker 1: a legend. I want to find that person. I really do,

Speaker 1: Benefit Award. It's a good list. For good measure. I

829
00:40:31,760 --> 00:40:35,840
Speaker 1: have added Ram's quarterback Matthew Stafford looking and get to

830
00:40:35,880 --> 00:40:39,040
Speaker 1: get his first career playoff win on Monday night. And

831
00:40:39,120 --> 00:40:41,000
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say, because it was too hard to tooth

832
00:40:41,040 --> 00:40:43,080
Speaker 1: between you three, I love you so much, We're gonna

833
00:40:43,080 --> 00:40:46,800
Speaker 1: go with Matthew Stafford. I have a lot of grief

834
00:40:46,840 --> 00:40:49,880
Speaker 1: on this show, but this was his best fantasy finished

835
00:40:49,880 --> 00:40:53,520
Speaker 1: since two thy sixteen forty eight hundred plus yards, his

836
00:40:53,719 --> 00:40:56,480
Speaker 1: most since back in twenty twelve. He's in Hollywood. It's

837
00:40:56,600 --> 00:41:00,719
Speaker 1: very j J lo and Ben vibed. We've he's been

838
00:41:00,760 --> 00:41:02,759
Speaker 1: out of the headlines. He was over, he was done,

839
00:41:02,760 --> 00:41:04,520
Speaker 1: he was tost He's had some good fantas performances in

840
00:41:04,560 --> 00:41:06,880
Speaker 1: the FAT in the past, but forty one touchdowns that

841
00:41:06,960 --> 00:41:10,520
Speaker 1: ties a career high. That goes back to twenty eleven.

842
00:41:10,560 --> 00:41:15,880
Speaker 1: So Matthew Stafford pick sixes, pick schmixes. Great job for

851
00:41:43,080 --> 00:41:49,000
Speaker 1: than Adela court side crushing Moriston's geomphatically? No, nobody's winning

852
00:41:49,080 --> 00:41:51,719
Speaker 1: better than she is. No. Here're the nominees for the

853
00:41:51,719 --> 00:41:57,720
Speaker 1: Adela Award. Bill's quarterback Josh Ellen, Colts running back Jonathan Taylor,

854
00:41:57,760 --> 00:42:00,359
Speaker 1: who won the twenty twenty one NFL rushing title, of course,

855
00:42:00,680 --> 00:42:03,120
Speaker 1: and got Louis the Tonbacks Where's offensive line? It was

856
00:42:03,160 --> 00:42:06,359
Speaker 1: all very cute Rams receiver Cooper cup who was only

857
00:42:06,400 --> 00:42:08,759
Speaker 1: fifty three yards away from two thousand receiving yards on

858
00:42:08,880 --> 00:42:11,360
Speaker 1: the year, which would have broken, of course Megatron's record

859
00:42:11,400 --> 00:42:15,040
Speaker 1: all time. And Ravens tight end Mark Andrews, what's done?

860
00:42:15,080 --> 00:42:19,680
Speaker 1: He led all tight ends in receiving yards thoughts Okay,

861
00:42:19,680 --> 00:42:21,480
Speaker 1: it's only even five days. I still can't look at

862
00:42:21,480 --> 00:42:23,760
Speaker 1: the Colt's logo. And as much as I love Taylor,

863
00:42:24,600 --> 00:42:27,279
Speaker 1: he's also not universally liked because Titans fans hate it.

864
00:42:27,320 --> 00:42:30,799
Speaker 1: They hated the NB. Adele is beloved by all, So

865
00:42:30,840 --> 00:42:34,400
Speaker 1: who's that encompassing work? Because they're all fantasy stuffs. Andrews,

866
00:42:34,440 --> 00:42:37,279
Speaker 1: I mean he was quarterback friend Like, no matter who

867
00:42:37,320 --> 00:42:39,120
Speaker 1: the quarterback was, he was still putting up big numbers.

868
00:42:39,880 --> 00:42:43,720
Speaker 1: Come on, this is a Cooper Cup awarding. We literally

869
00:42:43,719 --> 00:42:46,480
Speaker 1: could have made it the Cooper Cup Award because he

870
00:42:46,719 --> 00:42:49,040
Speaker 1: is just having his fad of a year. It should

871
00:42:49,040 --> 00:42:53,719
Speaker 1: be that next year Oprah might show up to the

872
00:42:53,719 --> 00:42:56,120
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. Of all those people that were at Adele's

873
00:42:56,160 --> 00:43:01,440
Speaker 1: concert sitting there Melissa McCarthy, so Fi Seth Rocks the

874
00:43:01,520 --> 00:43:06,239
Speaker 1: rugged in stadium super Bowl performance. If they make it there,

875
00:43:06,280 --> 00:43:08,640
Speaker 1: it all makes sense. He won this in a runaway.

876
00:43:08,680 --> 00:43:11,680
Speaker 1: Schrager's right. He not only outscored every now he's the

877
00:43:11,760 --> 00:43:15,400
Speaker 1: highest scores yes over Josh Allen. Wow, nobody's scored ye,

878
00:43:15,640 --> 00:43:18,320
Speaker 1: hell scores the next closer receiver Davante Adams, Who's I

879
00:43:18,320 --> 00:43:20,319
Speaker 1: don't know. He's pretty good, right, He's pretty good by

880
00:43:20,440 --> 00:43:23,719
Speaker 1: nearly one hundred points on his way to being the

881
00:43:23,760 --> 00:43:28,200
Speaker 1: first receiver triple Crown winner since Steve Smith back in

882
00:43:28,200 --> 00:43:30,200
Speaker 1: two thousand and five. Honestly, Cooper Cup as the man

883
00:43:30,880 --> 00:43:33,880
Speaker 1: and universally like finally a person like him. I'm waiting

884
00:43:33,920 --> 00:43:38,520
Speaker 1: for the Cooper Cup brush back wave. That's gonna get overrated. Hack,

885
00:43:38,760 --> 00:43:40,640
Speaker 1: It's gonna come, but it's your head. I don't hear

886
00:43:40,640 --> 00:43:42,880
Speaker 1: any of that right now? Ye, how could you do

887
00:43:42,960 --> 00:43:45,880
Speaker 1: you possibly say? Haven't heard that? For all she's universal,

888
00:43:45,920 --> 00:43:48,080
Speaker 1: It hasn't happened for a Dell either, Kyle. I wish

889
00:43:48,080 --> 00:43:55,240
Speaker 1: she went up Temple. It's a little bit, just a remix.

890
00:43:55,280 --> 00:43:58,360
Speaker 1: One remix wouldn't kill. When we were naming awards, we

891
00:43:58,400 --> 00:44:01,520
Speaker 1: wanted to do for the disappointment uh the Saints of

892
00:44:01,560 --> 00:44:04,359
Speaker 1: the New Work Award. But I knew you'd have liked it.

893
00:44:04,600 --> 00:44:05,080
Speaker 1: I liked it.
