1
00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:09,879
Speaker 1: This is straight Fire with Jason McIntyre.

2
00:00:11,080 --> 00:00:15,200
Speaker 2: What is up, straight firefam, It's me Jason McIntyre. Straight

3
00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:21,439
Speaker 2: Fire for Tuesday, December seventeenth. You know, I complained the

4
00:00:21,520 --> 00:00:24,600
Speaker 2: other day about the doubleheader on Monday Night football in

5
00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:27,840
Speaker 2: the middle of December, and then the games were awful.

6
00:00:28,280 --> 00:00:33,000
Speaker 2: But oh my goodness, think gosh for gambling and fantasy football.

7
00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:37,360
Speaker 2: That's the only reason these two games were even remotely watchable.

8
00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:40,640
Speaker 2: I'm trying to get through Yellowstone this season. I'm, you know,

9
00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:43,160
Speaker 2: during football season, I can't watch any shows. It's tough

10
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:47,000
Speaker 2: to watch movies. During Thanksgiving break, I watched some stuff

11
00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:49,480
Speaker 2: and I'm getting back into Yellowstone now is the NFL

12
00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:52,880
Speaker 2: season winds down. But I was at the point last

13
00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:54,880
Speaker 2: night where I'm like, you know what, these games are terrible.

14
00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:56,920
Speaker 2: Let me just let me just go to Yellowstone. I mean,

15
00:00:56,960 --> 00:01:00,760
Speaker 2: it's really riveting stuff. It's a final season, no spoilers. I'm,

16
00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:03,960
Speaker 2: you know, getting caught up on the final season. And

17
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:06,920
Speaker 2: then a funny thing happened. I was down like forty

18
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:10,240
Speaker 2: in the fantasy football playoffs in the Fox Digital League.

19
00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:14,280
Speaker 2: I had Keenan Allen and the Falcons defense, and within

20
00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:16,679
Speaker 2: like a bang bang moment. The Falcons defense had an

21
00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:18,640
Speaker 2: awesome play and they were up to like sixteen points,

22
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:21,880
Speaker 2: and then Keenan Allen scores a touchdown and I'm like, oh,

23
00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:26,440
Speaker 2: I'm within striking distance and it got unbelievably close. The

24
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:29,560
Speaker 2: interception on the hail Mary brought me down one and

25
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:31,839
Speaker 2: a half points or whatever. It was less than two points,

26
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:33,800
Speaker 2: and I ended up taking the l But it was

27
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:36,080
Speaker 2: thrilling stuff. That's the only reason that game was interesting.

28
00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:39,680
Speaker 2: Now you know the Raiders, the inept pathetic Raiders were

29
00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:41,440
Speaker 2: trying to come in the back door. We'll start with

30
00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:43,240
Speaker 2: that game just because it was remotely close and the

31
00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:47,760
Speaker 2: Kirk Cousins situation is apparently at the boiling point. Let's

32
00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:50,200
Speaker 2: get started with this. The Atlanta Falcons are not a

33
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:53,840
Speaker 2: good football team, period. Hard stop. Tampa Bay is a

34
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:57,200
Speaker 2: better football team right now than Atlanta. Despite Atlanta beating

35
00:01:57,240 --> 00:02:03,040
Speaker 2: them twice, the Falcons survived the Raiders because of special teams.

36
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:05,200
Speaker 2: They block two and a half kicks, which is weird

37
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:10,200
Speaker 2: fantas the only game me two, and their special team's

38
00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:13,480
Speaker 2: defense is good. The special teams offense, they don't trust

39
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:16,840
Speaker 2: their kicker who missed. I believe a thirty six or

40
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:18,800
Speaker 2: forty six yarder that would have put the game out

41
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:21,120
Speaker 2: of reach, and that gave the Raiders life. The Falcons

42
00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:22,639
Speaker 2: are gonna have to bring in some new kickers this week,

43
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:25,680
Speaker 2: for sure. They do get a layup this week facing

44
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 2: the we call them the tanking Giants. It seems like

45
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:30,720
Speaker 2: the Raiders and the Giants are in a race to

46
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:32,760
Speaker 2: the bottom. For Shador Sanders, I feel like that's a

47
00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:36,400
Speaker 2: safe thing to say. The Falcons should beat the Giants.

48
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:39,799
Speaker 2: Then the Falcons travel to Washington and then host the

49
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:44,040
Speaker 2: Panthers in the final game of the season, so really

50
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:47,680
Speaker 2: they should go two and three. The problem for Tampa

51
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:51,359
Speaker 2: is they are let me see what their record is

52
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:53,000
Speaker 2: right now, they are eight and six, so they're up

53
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:55,880
Speaker 2: a game now. If they tie, obviously it goes to Atlanta.

54
00:02:56,800 --> 00:03:01,000
Speaker 2: Tampa has a slightly tougher schedule. They are at the

55
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:03,760
Speaker 2: Cowboys in a game that I guess is slated for

56
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:05,480
Speaker 2: Sunday night football. Now, I don't know if that's going

57
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:08,840
Speaker 2: to change. Dallas feisty over the weekend. The defense had

58
00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:12,000
Speaker 2: a million sacks. And let me remind you, Kirk Cousins

59
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:16,480
Speaker 2: is immobil He is not playing good quarterback football right now.

60
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:18,000
Speaker 2: I mean, I will get to Kirk in a second.

61
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:21,960
Speaker 2: Then the Bucks host Carolina, they will be favored, but

62
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:24,960
Speaker 2: you know, Carolina's plucky and the last time they met.

63
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:30,560
Speaker 2: What happened last Sunda they met? It was Oh, it

64
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:31,840
Speaker 2: was a close game. That was a game that went

65
00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:34,280
Speaker 2: overtime just a few weeks ago. So I would not

66
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:37,360
Speaker 2: expect the Panthers to totally roll over and then against

67
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:39,320
Speaker 2: the Saints in the season finale. So I think the

68
00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:42,560
Speaker 2: Bucks take the division. But the real story is what

69
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:45,640
Speaker 2: the hell happened to Kirk Cousins. I mean, folks, you

70
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:48,720
Speaker 2: want to talk about falling off a cliff, I'm going

71
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:50,280
Speaker 2: to read you this stat line. You tell me if

72
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:53,400
Speaker 2: this was Desmond Ritter or Kirk Cousins. Twenty three of

73
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:56,600
Speaker 2: thirty nine, two hundred eight yards, a touchdown and two picks.

74
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:00,320
Speaker 2: That was Desmond Ritter. I don't know why he was

75
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:02,360
Speaker 2: throwing thirty nine times, but you know they were trailing

76
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:07,640
Speaker 2: the entire game. Kirk Cousins against the sad Sack Raiders defense,

77
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:10,520
Speaker 2: which did not have Max Crosby. He's out for the season.

78
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:16,440
Speaker 2: The Raiders have two wins. Okay, Kirk Cousins was eleven

79
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:19,479
Speaker 2: of seventeen for one hundred and twelve yards, a touchdown

80
00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:22,480
Speaker 2: and a pick. He threw for one hundred and twelve

81
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:26,320
Speaker 2: yards in primetime against the Raiders. Now I bet kirk

82
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:29,479
Speaker 2: Cousins props. I went one and two. Not great, not great.

83
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:31,720
Speaker 2: I had his longest completion over thirty five and a

84
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:33,359
Speaker 2: half yards. He had the bomb to Drake Lennard. I

85
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:35,880
Speaker 2: was like, oh, that's so far. Kirk's arm is so pathetic.

86
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:39,560
Speaker 2: It went only thirty yards. I had over one and

87
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:42,120
Speaker 2: a half touchdown passes. He only had one. The other.

88
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:44,160
Speaker 2: Oh no, I only had two Kirk Cousins pross both

89
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:46,400
Speaker 2: with the other I had was the Raiders team total

90
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:49,280
Speaker 2: under I think it was nineteen and a half. There

91
00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:51,839
Speaker 2: was no way they were getting there with Desnonder anyways.

92
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:55,520
Speaker 2: They were sentually relying on Bjon Robinson twenty two carries

93
00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:58,160
Speaker 2: and Tyler Algier who runs hard? Man who does he

94
00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:00,720
Speaker 2: run hard? But this is not not the kind of all, Like,

95
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:02,680
Speaker 2: I don't want to see this team in the playoffs.

96
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:07,320
Speaker 2: I don't. They're unwatchable with Kirk Cousins being this bad folks.

97
00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:10,320
Speaker 2: The kirk Cousins streak right now, I mean if you

98
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:12,440
Speaker 2: look at it, You're like, holy hell, why is he still?

99
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:14,480
Speaker 1: Yeah?

100
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:18,159
Speaker 2: Why is he still the starter? Last five games Kirk

101
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:23,480
Speaker 2: Cousins one touchdown and four five, six, seven, eight, nine interceptions.

102
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:27,400
Speaker 2: One touchdown, nine interceptions in his last five games. So

103
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:29,800
Speaker 2: much for Oh, he's probably healed from the achilles.

104
00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:30,039
Speaker 1: Now.

105
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:32,559
Speaker 2: I don't know what the problem is. Rakhie Morris doesn't

106
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:34,320
Speaker 2: know the problem. Now, four of the five games were

107
00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:38,000
Speaker 2: on the road. He could just be fatigued. It's possible

108
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:41,520
Speaker 2: that he's just worn down long season, and you know,

109
00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:45,320
Speaker 2: I don't know if the Raheem Morris, whatever they're doing

110
00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:49,279
Speaker 2: offensively is like messing with Kirk. But outside of the

111
00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:52,560
Speaker 2: two Tap of Bay games where a few strip away

112
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:54,599
Speaker 2: the four touchdowns he had in each of the meet

113
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:58,359
Speaker 2: each of the games, every other opponent this season, Kirk

114
00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:05,520
Speaker 2: Cousins has no nine touchdowns and fourteen interceptions. I mean, honestly,

115
00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:09,200
Speaker 2: it's crazy. He threw for five hundred nine yards and

116
00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:11,080
Speaker 2: two hundred and seventy six so you're looking at like

117
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:16,159
Speaker 2: seven hundred and eighty five yards against Tampa and in

118
00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:18,919
Speaker 2: the other games he has looks like two three hundred

119
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:21,520
Speaker 2: yard games. That's it. Against Minnesota last week in a

120
00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:24,000
Speaker 2: losing effort against the Saints in a losing effort a

121
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:26,520
Speaker 2: few weeks before that, like this is not a good

122
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:28,560
Speaker 2: football team. And afterward, Reggie Morris is like, hey, we'd

123
00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:32,800
Speaker 2: need Kirk to play better, and he stopped short of

124
00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:36,559
Speaker 2: giving him the official. He's my quarterback. My gut tells

125
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:38,920
Speaker 2: me they're gonna look hard at Pennox this week. But

126
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:43,440
Speaker 2: here's the crappy thing. If you're Michael Pennix, bro I'm older.

127
00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:46,279
Speaker 2: I'm not some young, twenty one year old kid who's

128
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:49,279
Speaker 2: out of college champion at the bit to get my chance.

129
00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:52,400
Speaker 2: I'm Michael Pennix. I started a billion games in college.

130
00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:58,360
Speaker 2: I played at Indiana and Washington. I'm twenty four years old.

131
00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:00,960
Speaker 2: I am a grown ass man ready to fling the

132
00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:04,000
Speaker 2: quarter We're ready to fring the ball like a quarterback should.

133
00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:06,600
Speaker 2: And that's got to be frustrated for him. You saw

134
00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:08,920
Speaker 2: him standing on the sideline helmet on like he put

135
00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:11,760
Speaker 2: me in coach, you know, And I feel bad. I mean,

136
00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:15,560
Speaker 2: if the Falcons missed the playoffs, what are they bringing

137
00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:19,240
Speaker 2: Kirk Cousins back for. And it's starting to really blow

138
00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:23,560
Speaker 2: up in their face. Remember this is a front office

139
00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:27,080
Speaker 2: that had Bill Belichick as a potential coach, and they

140
00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:31,480
Speaker 2: were like, we're good Bill. Thanks. You know, the owner

141
00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:33,880
Speaker 2: liked Bill. The front office wanting to keep their jobs

142
00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:35,560
Speaker 2: in relevance. We're like, no, no, we don't want Bill.

143
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:37,280
Speaker 2: He's power hungry. We don't We don't want the guy

144
00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:39,559
Speaker 2: who's won more Super Bowls than any coach in NFL history.

145
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:42,280
Speaker 2: We do not want him in here. We want Rahie

146
00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:44,520
Speaker 2: Morris back him here. He was here before. He's a

147
00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:47,040
Speaker 2: good guy. He's not gonna take any power from us.

148
00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:49,040
Speaker 2: And then the front office proceeded to give Kirk Cousins

149
00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:51,680
Speaker 2: the bag and then draft Michael Pennox in the top ten.

150
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:55,160
Speaker 2: You just tell me what sense that makes, Guys I

151
00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:56,680
Speaker 2: called it at the time. I was like, what the

152
00:07:56,720 --> 00:08:01,760
Speaker 2: hell's going on? This does not sound smart at all.

153
00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:06,400
Speaker 2: It just doesn't. And it has backfired spectacularly because Kirk

154
00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:09,960
Speaker 2: Cousins looks washed. They're gonna have a huge dead cap hit.

155
00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:12,360
Speaker 2: They're gonna have to move off of him and go

156
00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:16,800
Speaker 2: to Peedicks next season. That's where it's headed unless Baker

157
00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:20,640
Speaker 2: and Tampa totally implode. It feels like Kirk Cousins' time

158
00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:23,320
Speaker 2: is over. In Atlanta. He has not been good down

159
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:26,360
Speaker 2: the stretch. I suppose there's a chance they get in

160
00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:28,680
Speaker 2: the playoffs. They will beat the Giants this week, and

161
00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:31,920
Speaker 2: who knows, maybe Baker screws it up. But I just don't.

162
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:34,959
Speaker 2: You cannot like what's brewing in Atlanta. And listen, they

163
00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:38,679
Speaker 2: got dudes, man, they got a roster Bjon Robbinson's very good.

164
00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:42,600
Speaker 2: Drake London is that guy's excellent. Rayburn McLeod has shown well.

165
00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:45,480
Speaker 2: Mooney's been okay. I mean, Kyle Pitts was the first

166
00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:47,160
Speaker 2: round pick. I would not pay him at all. The

167
00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:51,840
Speaker 2: offensive line was a bit of a letout. Could not

168
00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:55,160
Speaker 2: protect Cousins last night. And when you get an immobile quarterback,

169
00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:57,840
Speaker 2: it's like he's just a sitting duck back there.

174
00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:12,480
Speaker 2: As for the Raiders, they did a hell of a

175
00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:17,480
Speaker 2: job in that performance, you know, keeping Shador Sanders in line.

176
00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:21,160
Speaker 2: That's essentially with this team. They're holding up signs about

177
00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:23,880
Speaker 2: tank for Shador Sanders. The Raiders have not won a

178
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:27,880
Speaker 2: football game since they defeated the Cleveland Browns. Oh my gosh,

179
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:31,480
Speaker 2: was this back in September. I mean it's eons ago.

180
00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:35,480
Speaker 2: It was September twenty ninth, back when Deshaun Watson was

181
00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:39,240
Speaker 2: playing quarterback and Gardner Minshew was the quarterback of the Raiders.

182
00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:43,280
Speaker 2: Alexander Madison was the running back. Like, so much has

183
00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:46,960
Speaker 2: changed for this team. You know, we had the report

184
00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:51,280
Speaker 2: last week that Shaduur Sanders will not play for the Giants,

185
00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:53,920
Speaker 2: and then some people, of course, after we talked about

186
00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:57,160
Speaker 2: on the pod, some of the listeners sent me messages, Oh,

187
00:09:57,240 --> 00:10:00,000
Speaker 2: oh look, there's Chaduur throwing to Malik Neighbors and New

188
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:01,800
Speaker 2: New York. He's there for the Heisman who says he

189
00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:04,760
Speaker 2: doesn't want to play. Hey, just because he's throwing the

190
00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:07,600
Speaker 2: football to mylite neighbors doesn't mean that damn thing. Now,

191
00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:09,400
Speaker 2: My Laie Neighbors would be thrilled to get him, but

192
00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:11,600
Speaker 2: he'd be happy with cam Ward two. I got my

193
00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:13,840
Speaker 2: first mock draft coming out for Fox Sports this week,

194
00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:15,840
Speaker 2: and I do have Shadoor one, but I have cam

195
00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:18,800
Speaker 2: Woard two. I do think a second quarter a third

196
00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:21,200
Speaker 2: quarterback sneaks out of the top ten. It ain't gonna

197
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:22,920
Speaker 2: be pretty, and a lot of people will disagree with it,

198
00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:30,640
Speaker 2: but folks were in a position right now where there

199
00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:34,800
Speaker 2: are so many teams without quarterbacks. I mean, we can

200
00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:36,440
Speaker 2: start with my Jets and I'm not gonna do the

201
00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:38,480
Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers is playing well down the stretch. Crap, I'm

202
00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:41,920
Speaker 2: not doing that. I think right now, Cleveland has a

203
00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:44,240
Speaker 2: lot of unanswered questions. I know Deshaun Watson has a

204
00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:46,319
Speaker 2: lot of money coming his way, but I don't. I

205
00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:48,680
Speaker 2: don't know what's going on with the Browns. They absolutely

206
00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:51,439
Speaker 2: have to draft someone. Jamis ain't the guy. He might

207
00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:53,120
Speaker 2: be bench to sweep, maybe the bringing back who cares.

208
00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:54,280
Speaker 2: We know he's not the guy. I don't even know

209
00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:56,800
Speaker 2: if he's the backup. He seems like a good locker

210
00:10:56,880 --> 00:10:59,120
Speaker 2: room guy, but a good quarterback is not what Jamis is.

211
00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:01,599
Speaker 2: Stard to wonder if the Colts are going to have

212
00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:03,880
Speaker 2: to draft a quarterback or get somebody a free agency

213
00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:07,559
Speaker 2: because Anthony Richardson, my gosh, he is on the struggle

214
00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:10,840
Speaker 2: bus the Tennessee Titans, and Will Levis sounds like he's

215
00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:14,840
Speaker 2: getting benched. As we get into December and close to

216
00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:17,880
Speaker 2: the end of the season. Here Will Levis vomiting all

217
00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:21,240
Speaker 2: over himself against the Bengals, benched and Mason Rudolph comes

218
00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:24,280
Speaker 2: in looks competent. I thought they would give will Levis

219
00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:26,719
Speaker 2: another shot next year. I'm not so sure they're not

220
00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:29,640
Speaker 2: going to have to draft someone. Brian Callahan, he's gonna

221
00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:30,839
Speaker 2: want to keep his job. He needs to get a

222
00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:32,959
Speaker 2: new quarterback in there. And then you look at the

223
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:36,480
Speaker 2: AFC West and the Raiders are in desperate need ten

224
00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:38,360
Speaker 2: losses in a row. They need a quarterback.

225
00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:39,480
Speaker 1: Now.

226
00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:45,120
Speaker 2: The thing is in the NFC. The Giants certainly need

227
00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:48,320
Speaker 2: a quarterback. That's undeniable. They're two and twelve. They have

228
00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:53,000
Speaker 2: no offensive situation. It's good at all. Other than Malik

229
00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:57,040
Speaker 2: Neighbors a kid. Tracy was okay, the Minnesota Vikings have

230
00:11:57,200 --> 00:11:59,360
Speaker 2: JJ McCarthy waiting in the wings. I think they move

231
00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:02,360
Speaker 2: on from Dartel. I think everybody thinks that. And that's

232
00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:04,160
Speaker 2: where it gets interesting, because then you get down to

233
00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:06,440
Speaker 2: the Falcons and it's like, okay, we're turning the Pennis. Fine,

234
00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:09,240
Speaker 2: then Kirk Cousins is now on the market. You could

235
00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:11,000
Speaker 2: have Kirk Cousins on the market. You could have Aaron

236
00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:13,520
Speaker 2: Rodgers the Jets cut him loose. Gosh, I would love

237
00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:15,080
Speaker 2: for him to hit the market. Please just get the

238
00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:18,760
Speaker 2: hell out of Dodge, Sam Darnold. Do the Saints become

239
00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:24,000
Speaker 2: the landing spot for Sam Darnald kirk Cousins. I don't know.

240
00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:25,640
Speaker 2: I don't know what they're gonna do with the head

241
00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:27,800
Speaker 2: coaching spot there. And then the Panthers. You know, Bryce

242
00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:30,080
Speaker 2: Young has done some things here down the stretch. But

243
00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:33,640
Speaker 2: if you're Dave Canalis, you know we've now got a

244
00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:37,160
Speaker 2: couple of years of data on Bryce Young, and it's like, okay,

245
00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:39,800
Speaker 2: hit and miss. Do I want to You know, I've

246
00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:41,840
Speaker 2: been waiting my whole life to become a head coach

247
00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:46,760
Speaker 2: in the NFL? Do I want to really stake my

248
00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:50,280
Speaker 2: coaching head coaching career to Bryce Young? I mean, honestly, guys,

249
00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:52,240
Speaker 2: you really only get one chance at this some of

250
00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:54,840
Speaker 2: these guys, this is it. You get one shot. You

251
00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:57,920
Speaker 2: come in, you get your chance, and if you fail,

252
00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:00,240
Speaker 2: you go back to being a coordinator. Oh who knows what?

253
00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:04,360
Speaker 2: And remember Eric beenemy. I don't think they think we

254
00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:06,120
Speaker 2: talked about this on the pod. So Eric Enemy was

255
00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:08,840
Speaker 2: the offensive coordinator with the Chiefs. The media tried to

256
00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:11,040
Speaker 2: really really hard. Oh, he's got Eric the Enemy. He's

257
00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:12,719
Speaker 2: got to get a job. Is it racism? Why is

258
00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:16,760
Speaker 2: anybody hiring Eric the Enemy? And so eventually he interviews

259
00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:19,600
Speaker 2: apparently didn't interview well, and he lands up with the

260
00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:25,040
Speaker 2: UCLA Bruins as the OC. Okay, he got fired after

261
00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:29,560
Speaker 2: one year. One year at UCLA, Eric Enemy's gone. And

262
00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:32,000
Speaker 2: now you're like, okay, well, where's Eric Enemy gonna land?

263
00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:34,360
Speaker 2: Probably just go back to the Andy Reid Tree. Those

264
00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:38,200
Speaker 2: guys all stick together. But it's like he didn't even

265
00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:42,240
Speaker 2: get his at bat as a head coach. You want,

266
00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:45,040
Speaker 2: you want a shot, right, the enemy hasn't even gotten that.

267
00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:47,560
Speaker 2: I don't know that he'll get one. Is his window closed?

268
00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:49,720
Speaker 2: I don't know. Maybe too early for that. But anyways,

269
00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:52,040
Speaker 2: then you go to the NFC West and it's like, okay, Seattle,

270
00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:55,839
Speaker 2: it looks like this Geno Smith injury is probably gonna

271
00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:59,719
Speaker 2: cost them the division, especially if the Rams are healthy. Offensively,

272
00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:02,680
Speaker 2: because Sam Howell, as we know, he ain't the guy

273
00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:05,360
Speaker 2: we saw little of him Sunday night, and that guy

274
00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:08,880
Speaker 2: is not an NFL quarterback. There are some rumblings in

275
00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:10,840
Speaker 2: Arizona that they need to move on from Kyler. I

276
00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:13,079
Speaker 2: don't totally see that happening. And then there's Brock Purdy

277
00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:16,280
Speaker 2: in Sanfra. Now San Frans kind of an attractive spot

278
00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:19,960
Speaker 2: for say a Aaron Rodgers, if you will, could Sam

279
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:24,280
Speaker 2: Donald return to San fran Shanahan's always been enamored with

280
00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:27,160
Speaker 2: Kirk Cousins. Sanfred's gonna have options. This brock Purty stuff,

281
00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:28,840
Speaker 2: We'll get into it, you know, in the next couple

282
00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:31,360
Speaker 2: of days. Off the games. I like to talk games,

283
00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:37,200
Speaker 2: but brock Perdy's camp planting stuff with Tom Pelasaro, essentially

284
00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:39,680
Speaker 2: saying he wants to reset the quarterback market. And when

285
00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:44,760
Speaker 2: Palasaro has nuggets like Lamar and dak are the last

286
00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:48,400
Speaker 2: two quarterbacks to reset the market. They have a combined

287
00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:53,680
Speaker 2: four playoff wins. Brock Purdy has four playoff wins himself,

288
00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:56,560
Speaker 2: and he's gonna reset the market. When you start talking

289
00:14:56,640 --> 00:15:00,080
Speaker 2: like that, I'm like, oh, no, thank you. And I

290
00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:02,320
Speaker 2: like brock Party a lot. You guys know that watching

291
00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:04,520
Speaker 2: the Herd listen to this, you know I'm a brock

292
00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:09,560
Speaker 2: Party guy, but absolutely not at sixty MILLI year an

293
00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:12,240
Speaker 2: absolutely not at fifty MILLI year. I mean, if you

294
00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:15,240
Speaker 2: want to win the Super Bowl. You're saying, hey, Brock,

295
00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:18,080
Speaker 2: we'll offer you thirty five mill. Maybe you bump up

296
00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:19,480
Speaker 2: to forty for the Daniel Jones money.

297
00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:19,800
Speaker 1: Whatever.

298
00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:22,720
Speaker 2: You can't disrespect the guy that badly. We love you,

299
00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:26,800
Speaker 2: but that's our limit. And you know what, Unfortunately for you, Brock,

300
00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:31,440
Speaker 2: the quarterback market is somewhat robust. If Rogers hits the market,

301
00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:36,080
Speaker 2: if Cousins hits the market, Donald will hit the market.

302
00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:37,880
Speaker 2: But does he want a massive payday. I don't know.

303
00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:41,000
Speaker 2: If I'm Donald, I stick with the quarterback whispers, the

304
00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:45,120
Speaker 2: Kevin O'Connell's, the Kyle shanahan, the McVeigh, the Lafleur. Those

305
00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:48,800
Speaker 2: guys work magic. That tree is money and those guys

306
00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:52,520
Speaker 2: always deliver. Let's take this opportunity to pivot to Vikings

307
00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:56,720
Speaker 2: thirty Bears twelve. This game was rotten. Chicago's defense was

308
00:15:56,720 --> 00:15:59,160
Speaker 2: flying around. I'll give them that. The offense could do nothing.

309
00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:02,280
Speaker 2: This new guy. They fired Ebra flues bringing this new guy.

310
00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:05,080
Speaker 2: Bears go one for twelve on third down, four point

311
00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:08,360
Speaker 2: five yards for play, two hundred and eighty four total yards.

312
00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:11,800
Speaker 2: There was nineteen penalties in this game. It was boring,

313
00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:14,560
Speaker 2: you know it just it didn't have the Vikings. I

314
00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:16,840
Speaker 2: didn't even like the Vikings white jerseys. I like the purple.

315
00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:20,840
Speaker 2: I'm very partial to that. Vikings keeping the pressure on

316
00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:24,120
Speaker 2: the reeling Detroit Lions, and we'll get to the Lions shortly.

317
00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:27,560
Speaker 2: But how good is the NFC North? Are you ready

318
00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:31,880
Speaker 2: for this? Lions are twelve and two, Vikings are twelve

319
00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:36,040
Speaker 2: and two, Packers are ten and four. That is as

320
00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:39,040
Speaker 2: good as it gets. Three teams with double digit wins. Now,

321
00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:44,280
Speaker 2: this is what's spicy. The Lions who announced that David Montgomery,

322
00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:47,000
Speaker 2: one half of their incredible backfield, is out for the

323
00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:51,920
Speaker 2: season with an mcl injury. Two more players are on

324
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:55,000
Speaker 2: the ir It's Allen McNeil on the defensive line and

325
00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:58,120
Speaker 2: Carlton Davis, who has I guess a broken jaw. They

326
00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:01,760
Speaker 2: think Davis could be back for like the NFC Championship

327
00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:08,040
Speaker 2: game at best. Okay, you just lost three starters on

328
00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:11,720
Speaker 2: a Monday as we approach week sixteen. That's not stuff

329
00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:14,639
Speaker 2: that you can easily bounce back from. Okay. Even my

330
00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:17,919
Speaker 2: buddy from The Great fox is Sons, big big, big

331
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:21,080
Speaker 2: Lions fan. Okay, he actually had a party at his

332
00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:25,240
Speaker 2: house for you know, birthday party. Great Foxes and Lions

333
00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:28,560
Speaker 2: versus the Niners, and dude, he was riding high for

334
00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:31,560
Speaker 2: a while and then you know, things turned. But don't

335
00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:33,840
Speaker 2: feel for him. He's a Michigan he went Michigan Grad,

336
00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:36,440
Speaker 2: and he's you know, he's had some success in recent years.

337
00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:41,439
Speaker 2: But it's interesting because the Lions have to go to

338
00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:45,760
Speaker 2: Chicago this week, cold weather's outdoors. Then they go to

339
00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:50,159
Speaker 2: San fran probably gonna be crappy weather, pride tibe, and

340
00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:53,720
Speaker 2: then they wrap up at home against the Vikings in

341
00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:55,720
Speaker 2: a rematch, and the Vikings lost the last one thirty

342
00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:59,080
Speaker 2: two twenty nine. That game could be for the division,

343
00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:02,480
Speaker 2: and you start looking at you like, well, shoot, how

344
00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:06,160
Speaker 2: far could Detroit fall? They were the number one seed

345
00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:08,919
Speaker 2: and now all of a sudden, are they tumbling to

346
00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:12,560
Speaker 2: I don't know four. I mean, is that where we're headed.

347
00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:16,960
Speaker 2: It's just insane how quickly things can change on you.

348
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:19,040
Speaker 2: And I'm just telling you Detroit, for I would say,

349
00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:21,240
Speaker 2: most of the season has looked like the best team

350
00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:24,919
Speaker 2: in the NFL. They've looked awesome, and now it's just

351
00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:27,520
Speaker 2: falling apart. Now. The tough news for the Vikings is

352
00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:31,600
Speaker 2: short week and you have a trip to the Northwest

353
00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:34,960
Speaker 2: outdoors to face Seattle. Seattle fighting for their life. Maybe

354
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:37,560
Speaker 2: you catch a break and you face Sam Howell. After that, though,

355
00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:39,960
Speaker 2: Vikings host the Packers and the Packers are one of

356
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:42,840
Speaker 2: the dangerous teams in the NFC, and then at Lions,

357
00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:45,720
Speaker 2: so I don't know what, but I don't know what's

358
00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:48,359
Speaker 2: gonna happen. I would lean Vikings at this point, but

359
00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:51,040
Speaker 2: that game against the Packers is very tough, much tougher

360
00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:55,480
Speaker 2: than the game at San Francisco. Uh for Detroit. The

361
00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:57,760
Speaker 2: team that's the big winner in this is the Philadelphia Eagles,

362
00:18:58,680 --> 00:19:02,240
Speaker 2: who if either of those two loses and the Eagles

363
00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:04,560
Speaker 2: went out, Philly's gonna get the number one seed and

364
00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:08,199
Speaker 2: the NFC Championship game will go through Philadelphia, which is

365
00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:10,520
Speaker 2: really bad news because you know what the link is like,

366
00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:13,680
Speaker 2: it's going to be juiced up and cold in January.

367
00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:16,200
Speaker 2: Big big edge to the Eagles.

Speaker 1: listen live.

372
00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:32,520
Speaker 2: By the way, it's funny the Eagles sideline skirmish is

373
00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:35,479
Speaker 2: getting glossed over. So I was doing some reading about this.

374
00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:39,720
Speaker 2: If you guys saw it, I posted on the IG stories.

375
00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:45,160
Speaker 2: But so Sirianni was ticked off at Jalen Carter, who's

376
00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:48,360
Speaker 2: been playing awesome, for slapping a guy on the Steelers

377
00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:49,840
Speaker 2: in the head. And it was a fifteen yarder and

378
00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:53,560
Speaker 2: I guess an automatic first down. So Sirianni's yelling at

379
00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:56,200
Speaker 2: him as he comes off the field, and Sirianni's still

380
00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:58,199
Speaker 2: pissed a few moments later and then walks over to

381
00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:01,760
Speaker 2: go talk to him, and this hulking man hurt I

382
00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:04,560
Speaker 2: guess this is his name. He is a defensive line coach.

383
00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:09,000
Speaker 2: He steps in between Carter and Sirianni and is basically saying, no,

384
00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:10,600
Speaker 2: you're not talking to him, coach, we need him to

385
00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:14,040
Speaker 2: cool down. But the problem is you can see Carter

386
00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:17,920
Speaker 2: right behind him kind of laughing about it. He's talking

387
00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:19,760
Speaker 2: to a g man like smiling and laughing. Cool that

388
00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:22,360
Speaker 2: what are you talking about the fact that a defensive

389
00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:25,120
Speaker 2: line coach would tell Sirianni know, you can't talk to him,

390
00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:29,040
Speaker 2: don't go there. And Sirianni kind of took it. He's

391
00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:32,959
Speaker 2: the freaking head coach. I don't know, guys, we can

392
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:35,200
Speaker 2: brush this off all we want, Oh, there's nothing, But

393
00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:37,400
Speaker 2: to me, that's a lack of respect for your head

394
00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:41,840
Speaker 2: coach from Carter and from the defensive line coach. If

395
00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:44,080
Speaker 2: the head coaches get over here, I don't care. If

396
00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:46,320
Speaker 2: you're making more money than the coach, you gotta get

397
00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:49,879
Speaker 2: over there. It's from great school on up. So I

398
00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:53,080
Speaker 2: don't know if they're just a really weird situation in Philadelphia.

399
00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:56,440
Speaker 2: But anyways, back to the Vikings game. I don't think

400
00:20:56,440 --> 00:20:58,560
Speaker 2: they'll get the number one seed, and I don't think

401
00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:01,560
Speaker 2: anybody's really scared of them. If you're ranking who are

402
00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:04,760
Speaker 2: you most scared of, I would say Eagles, Packers, then

403
00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:07,439
Speaker 2: Lions than Vikings. Like Vikings are really good, and the

404
00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:10,879
Speaker 2: Flores defense is playing out of its mind, but ultimately

405
00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:14,000
Speaker 2: Minnesota probably scares you the least because Donald is prone

406
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:18,320
Speaker 2: to make it some mistakes and even last night, you know,

407
00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:21,879
Speaker 2: Donald was very, very good. It helps to have Justin Jefferson,

408
00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:26,560
Speaker 2: It helps to have Jordan Addison, helps to have TJ. Hawkinson,

409
00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:29,960
Speaker 2: like they got weapons galore and Aaron Jones was running well.

410
00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:34,639
Speaker 2: The Bears clearly playing the too high shell, keep everything

411
00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:37,240
Speaker 2: in front of him, nothing deep and the longest play

412
00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:39,800
Speaker 2: from scrimmage for the Vikings. They had one play over

413
00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:42,359
Speaker 2: twenty yards and that was justin Jefferson twenty one yards.

414
00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:47,720
Speaker 2: That's it. That's not an explosive offense. They can be explosive,

415
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:50,240
Speaker 2: but you can bottle them up. And it was just

416
00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:53,760
Speaker 2: kind of a not going through the motions, but it

417
00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:56,480
Speaker 2: just felt like, Okay, Minnesota is the better team here,

418
00:21:56,480 --> 00:21:59,959
Speaker 2: but are they great? I don't know. Again, Sam Donald's

419
00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:01,919
Speaker 2: gonna have to prove it in the playoffs. No, that

420
00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:04,359
Speaker 2: should not surprise anybody if they want to take the

421
00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:08,320
Speaker 2: Viking seriously. So I am thankful to the NFL for

422
00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:11,040
Speaker 2: giving us the two games on Monday night football. I mean,

423
00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:13,600
Speaker 2: you know, obviously they didn't. It didn't go well for

424
00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:16,560
Speaker 2: me in fantasy. The gambling was good. I guess we

425
00:22:16,600 --> 00:22:21,840
Speaker 2: can close on this. The early report on the Patrick

426
00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:26,080
Speaker 2: Mahomes injury is high ankle sprain. Those can be anywhere

427
00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:29,320
Speaker 2: from two to four weeks. But depending on which reporter

428
00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:35,159
Speaker 2: you read, Rapaport, Schefter, whoever, it's either not that bad

429
00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:38,840
Speaker 2: or he's week to week. Okay, based on how this

430
00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:41,480
Speaker 2: game was lined, Houston Texans minus two and a half,

431
00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:44,600
Speaker 2: I'm going to go ahead and guess somebody believes Patrick

432
00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:47,920
Speaker 2: Mahomes is not playing. Now, Yes, I'm the I'm the

433
00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:49,800
Speaker 2: dummy who took de bait. I have already bet the

434
00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:54,040
Speaker 2: Texans minus two and a half, and wouldn't you know it? Yeah?

435
00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:58,679
Speaker 2: I mean, does this surprise you? Currently the line is

436
00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:01,280
Speaker 2: Texans minus two, but it's close to two and a half.

437
00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:03,640
Speaker 2: It's a minus one fifteen. Let me see what exactly

438
00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:07,680
Speaker 2: what I got? Yeah, I have a minus two and

439
00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:11,600
Speaker 2: a half and I think the Texans, I think they

440
00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:14,240
Speaker 2: can win this game. I'm certainly not afraid of Carson

441
00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:18,360
Speaker 2: friggin Wentz. Are you who's afraid of Carson Wentz? Come on,

442
00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:22,720
Speaker 2: he's not a good quarterback. We've seen Carson Wentz. I

443
00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:24,280
Speaker 2: don't think there's any fear at all. This is a

444
00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:26,840
Speaker 2: Houston team, though, the problem is how is CJ. Stroud

445
00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:28,480
Speaker 2: going to handle the pressure? He is don handled the

446
00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:32,560
Speaker 2: well this year. I'm hopeful Texans. By the way, how

447
00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:34,960
Speaker 2: good is Saturday? I didn't realize that this is the

448
00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:42,200
Speaker 2: lineup Saturday. So one o'clock you have Texans chiefs and

449
00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:47,800
Speaker 2: then I'm trying to transfer the time to Pacific time.

450
00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:53,520
Speaker 2: So I guess that's three point thirty. Damn it. Okay,

451
00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:56,520
Speaker 2: so ten Am you ten Am West Coast time, you

452
00:23:56,600 --> 00:23:58,920
Speaker 2: got Texans Chiefs. I can't believe I'm struggling with this

453
00:23:58,920 --> 00:24:03,920
Speaker 2: this early in the morning. And then at thirteen thirty. Yeah,

454
00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:06,800
Speaker 2: so that's one thirty you get Steelers Ravens. But that's

455
00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:12,239
Speaker 2: just the NFL. Don't forget. The college football playoff is

456
00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:16,399
Speaker 2: Saturday now. The early kickoff is SMU Penn State. Then

457
00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:19,520
Speaker 2: you have Clemson Texas, and the nightcap. The best game

458
00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:23,120
Speaker 2: is Tennessee Ohio State. That is going to be really good.

459
00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:25,360
Speaker 2: I'm fired up. Now Friday night you get to they

460
00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:29,520
Speaker 2: wet your beak with Indiana at Notre Dame. I think

461
00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:32,320
Speaker 2: I've already told you guys, I'm on a teaser that's

462
00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:35,840
Speaker 2: Notre Dame, Penn State, and Ohio State. I think they

463
00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:38,240
Speaker 2: all win, but I do believe they will be closed.

464
00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:40,800
Speaker 2: This is uncharted territory. That's what I love so much

465
00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:44,439
Speaker 2: about this. We just nobody knows what to expect in

466
00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:49,840
Speaker 2: a college football playoff. That's twelve team's home field advantage,

467
00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:51,680
Speaker 2: like we just haven't had that before. I'm so excited

468
00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:54,199
Speaker 2: it should because Saturday should be a phenomenal day. We'll

469
00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:56,520
Speaker 2: preview it all, we'll have all the best bets. Keep

470
00:24:56,560 --> 00:24:59,040
Speaker 2: it locked here on straight fire. Happy holidays, talk to

471
00:24:59,080 --> 00:24:59,520
Speaker 2: you tomorrow
