WEBVTT - Richard Sherman Podcast - NFL Week 16 Reaction 0:00:01.360 --> 0:00:02.360 The volume. 0:00:11.080 --> 0:00:14.400 Delto Bowl championship. That should always be the expectation. All right, 0:00:14.480 --> 0:00:15.680 man Ax, you go ahead. 0:00:16.360 --> 0:00:20.520 Welcome back to the Richard Sherman Podcast. Another incredible week, 0:00:20.720 --> 0:00:24.240 inching closer and closer to these playoffs, and a lot 0:00:24.280 --> 0:00:26.599 of things happen this week, a lot of games that 0:00:27.560 --> 0:00:31.560 had some expected outcomes and others not so expected. The 0:00:31.560 --> 0:00:35.240 Philadelphia Eagles lose to the Washington Commanders lose Jalen hurts 0:00:35.440 --> 0:00:38.600 early in that ball game. That's gonna be something to monitor. 0:00:38.880 --> 0:00:41.879 That helped the Washington Commanders. Even the Philadelphia Eagles have 0:00:42.000 --> 0:00:45.960 not yet secured this division yet. If I'm not mistaken, 0:00:46.280 --> 0:00:49.479 I think there's still a chance for the Washington Commanders 0:00:49.479 --> 0:00:51.560 to pull it out. Now it's a long shot because 0:00:51.840 --> 0:00:55.640 the Eagles play Dallas and the Giants to finish the season, 0:00:55.840 --> 0:00:57.920 but there's a lot of things that can happen. The 0:00:58.000 --> 0:01:02.400 Buffalo Bills had a really crazy from the New England Patriots. 0:01:02.400 --> 0:01:04.640 A game that should have been a walk away blowout 0:01:05.840 --> 0:01:08.120 was a dogfight down to the last seconds an on 0:01:08.240 --> 0:01:12.000 sidekick recovered by Buffalo Bills. Josh Allen does not have 0:01:12.040 --> 0:01:17.200 an MVP performance. Mitchell, your Detroit Lions find a way though. 0:01:17.880 --> 0:01:21.320 They're back, and Richard, I'm back, fresh off of laryngitis 0:01:21.400 --> 0:01:26.120 last week. I apologize I missed last week's episodes. Guys, 0:01:26.160 --> 0:01:31.000 I could not talk, and Richard heard me talk on 0:01:31.080 --> 0:01:33.280 the phone. It was not pretty. And I was fired 0:01:33.319 --> 0:01:35.720 up to watch these games. I mean, from a detroiter standpoint, 0:01:36.080 --> 0:01:39.480 I was rooting heavily for your Seattle Seahawks. It looked 0:01:39.480 --> 0:01:43.319 like everything was going right for Seattle. They it's vintage Seattle, 0:01:43.480 --> 0:01:46.520 you know, Geno Smith throwing for over three hundred yards 0:01:46.760 --> 0:01:50.320 and Jackson Smith and Jigba looks like a star in 0:01:50.400 --> 0:01:52.920 the making for the Seattle Seahawks team. But it's just 0:01:53.040 --> 0:01:55.720 not enough and they needed to win badly and they 0:01:55.760 --> 0:02:00.840 go down to Almighty Sam Darnold and Justin Jefferson late 0:02:00.960 --> 0:02:03.880 in this game. Your thoughts what went wrong for the 0:02:03.920 --> 0:02:05.680 Seattle Seahawks down the stretch. 0:02:06.840 --> 0:02:08.600 A lot of things went wrong, Mitchell, A lot of 0:02:08.600 --> 0:02:12.480 things went wrong, starting with the turnovers. You can't have them, 0:02:12.840 --> 0:02:15.680 and obviously the last one was to clinch the game. 0:02:16.360 --> 0:02:19.639 Trying to find dk Metcalf deep down the field. They 0:02:19.639 --> 0:02:22.000 were playing what looked like a form of too deep, 0:02:22.080 --> 0:02:23.920 you know, just keeping a shell on the defense not 0:02:23.960 --> 0:02:27.120 allowing a big play. Gino wanted it bad, he forced 0:02:27.120 --> 0:02:29.839 it in there. Unfortunately, that's what happened. He was under 0:02:29.880 --> 0:02:32.480 durest most of the day. Managed to throw for three 0:02:32.560 --> 0:02:36.240 hundred and fifteen yards three touchdowns, but the two interceptions 0:02:36.639 --> 0:02:37.440 were the difference in. 0:02:37.440 --> 0:02:38.080 The ball game. 0:02:39.760 --> 0:02:42.000 Your boy K nine only had eight carries but had 0:02:42.000 --> 0:02:44.680 thirty one yards. You know, had a few breakout runs there, 0:02:44.720 --> 0:02:47.360 but just just played from behind for a lot of 0:02:47.360 --> 0:02:51.079 this game and was chasing the Minnesota Vikings for an 0:02:51.560 --> 0:02:53.360 good portion of this game, so had to throw the 0:02:53.360 --> 0:02:54.600 ball forty three times. 0:02:55.800 --> 0:02:56.120 Again. 0:02:56.440 --> 0:02:59.440 Like you said, JSN had really another really consistent, really 0:02:59.440 --> 0:03:02.680 good game. Catches for ninety five yards and the touchdown 0:03:02.760 --> 0:03:07.160 had one really incredible grab in traffic, kind of flexing, 0:03:07.600 --> 0:03:10.080 you know, great catch. He's starting to develop into one 0:03:10.080 --> 0:03:12.919 of the better receivers in the National Football League. Obviously, 0:03:13.000 --> 0:03:16.360 DK had his touchdown. Three catches for fifty seven yards. 0:03:16.720 --> 0:03:20.120 Jaron Reed, Boye, Mafe, Derek Hall all record a sack 0:03:20.480 --> 0:03:25.480 against a really good Minnesota Vikings offensive line. Sam Donald 0:03:25.960 --> 0:03:29.200 just continues to amaze in a stown. If it if 0:03:29.200 --> 0:03:31.239 this was a different life, people will be talking about, 0:03:31.600 --> 0:03:34.280 you know, potential MVP for Sam Donald. But this isn't 0:03:34.320 --> 0:03:36.800 that life, and it's just a really good, feel good 0:03:36.800 --> 0:03:39.080 story right now, Sam Donald twenty two or thirty five 0:03:39.320 --> 0:03:42.560 two forty six, three touchdowns, no interceptions, Aaron Jones at 0:03:42.560 --> 0:03:45.920 eighteen carry sixty seven yards, another three catches for twenty 0:03:45.920 --> 0:03:49.520 six yards. But Justin Jefferson, the guy you had to 0:03:49.560 --> 0:03:51.720 find an answer for, the guy you had to stop 0:03:51.720 --> 0:03:54.160 in this game. Ten catches for one hundred and forty 0:03:54.160 --> 0:03:58.120 four yards and the two touchdowns. That is what killed him, obviously, 0:03:58.160 --> 0:04:00.840 the dagger thirty nine yard touchdown at the end of 0:04:00.840 --> 0:04:04.720 the game and to cover two. I wasn't sure what 0:04:04.840 --> 0:04:06.800 happened on that play. It looked like Jordan Love was 0:04:06.800 --> 0:04:10.240 trying to kind of give presidence sentimental the field, but 0:04:11.040 --> 0:04:12.760 you can't give presence in that situation. 0:04:12.840 --> 0:04:14.520 You got to get over to Justin Jefferson. 0:04:15.400 --> 0:04:19.479 It looked like Reek funneled him in, even got a 0:04:19.480 --> 0:04:21.719 lot of depth to make sure it wasn't a big window. 0:04:21.960 --> 0:04:25.600 Sam Donald got pressured, moved up in the pocket, down 0:04:25.720 --> 0:04:28.840 that window, yarded it in. There no air under the ball. 0:04:28.880 --> 0:04:30.800 If there was any under the ball, I think Julian 0:04:30.880 --> 0:04:34.280 Love would have picked it there wasn't any air. There 0:04:34.320 --> 0:04:36.599 was a dime. That was the difference in the game 0:04:36.640 --> 0:04:39.760 at the end. Obviously people talk about the as field goal, 0:04:39.800 --> 0:04:42.360 but that was a long, long, long field goal, sixty 0:04:42.440 --> 0:04:45.080 yarder that they tried to attempt to tie the game. 0:04:45.680 --> 0:04:47.760 I don't think anybody expected that one. You know, it'd 0:04:47.760 --> 0:04:52.560 been nice if you're to win, but sixty yard to 0:04:52.640 --> 0:04:55.440 tie the game is tough from anybody. They had a 0:04:55.520 --> 0:04:57.520 chance to go down there. I think the defense made 0:04:57.600 --> 0:04:59.560 enough stops in the second half to give the offense 0:04:59.560 --> 0:05:04.719 a chance. Unfortunately, the missfield gold and in the interception 0:05:04.880 --> 0:05:07.159 or what what doomed them. I mean, the Seahawks couldn't 0:05:07.160 --> 0:05:10.080 ask for to be in better position going near the 0:05:10.120 --> 0:05:13.240 end of that game, had the ball low backed up, 0:05:13.600 --> 0:05:15.440 but with a chance to win, to win the ball game, 0:05:15.520 --> 0:05:19.000 or at least drive down and tie it. That that 0:05:19.200 --> 0:05:21.800 interception was a was a gut punch. It was a 0:05:22.520 --> 0:05:27.839 really really really really killed the momentum, killed everything, killed 0:05:27.880 --> 0:05:30.280 the hopes of the Seattle Seahawks, at least for this season. 0:05:31.160 --> 0:05:33.599 You know, I don't think they're mathematically eliminated. I think, 0:05:33.680 --> 0:05:37.200 you know, if the Rams lose and some other crazy stuff, happens, 0:05:37.440 --> 0:05:40.680 there's a chance they could get in, but just a 0:05:40.720 --> 0:05:43.840 disappointing game for how well they played on both sides 0:05:43.880 --> 0:05:46.880 of the football, the plays they made. You know, obviously, 0:05:47.200 --> 0:05:51.080 the Minnesota Vikings are are a twelve ward twelve win 0:05:51.200 --> 0:05:53.919 ball club coming into this game. So it shows that 0:05:53.960 --> 0:05:56.560 Seattle Seahawks can play with anybody. They can keep the 0:05:56.600 --> 0:05:59.760 quarterback up right, they can cover with the best of them. 0:05:59.839 --> 0:06:01.640 Just Jefferson is one of the best, if not the 0:06:01.640 --> 0:06:04.200 best receiver in the National Football League. Reek was with 0:06:04.320 --> 0:06:06.560 him step for stepping a lot of these routes. Obviously, 0:06:07.240 --> 0:06:09.400 you know that was a cover two what they called 0:06:09.400 --> 0:06:12.479 where they scored a touchdown and there was a you know, 0:06:12.520 --> 0:06:14.240 he got beat on a couple, but you expect that 0:06:14.320 --> 0:06:16.160 this is the best receiver in the National FOOTBA League. 0:06:16.160 --> 0:06:19.520 He's gonna get his two. That's why you play the game. 0:06:19.600 --> 0:06:23.160 But the two interceptions by Dallas Turner and Theo Jackson 0:06:23.400 --> 0:06:26.160 are what ended up being the difference in this ball game. 0:06:26.800 --> 0:06:28.360 When you have a game like this, you have to 0:06:28.400 --> 0:06:32.320 execute on all cylinders. You have to be hitting on 0:06:32.440 --> 0:06:35.240 all cylinders in order to win this game. Seattle Seahawks 0:06:35.240 --> 0:06:38.600 weren't the Minnesota Vikings were they are now thirteen and two. 0:06:39.440 --> 0:06:42.120 They host the Green Bay Packers next week in a really, 0:06:42.200 --> 0:06:43.320 really pivotal. 0:06:42.920 --> 0:06:44.360 Game in that division. 0:06:44.480 --> 0:06:47.160 If they find a way to win that, there is 0:06:47.200 --> 0:06:51.280 a big, big, big time game with the Detroit Lions 0:06:51.480 --> 0:06:55.480 coming up that will decide perhaps the number one seed 0:06:55.600 --> 0:06:56.240 in the NFC. 0:06:56.760 --> 0:06:57.919 That's gonna be crazy. 0:06:58.160 --> 0:07:01.440 It's insane to me that this team is thirteen and two. 0:07:01.680 --> 0:07:04.440 I feel like they're not talked about enough. They deserve 0:07:04.520 --> 0:07:07.359 to be talked about more that they are. And they've 0:07:07.400 --> 0:07:10.320 always been a competitive team. It doesn't matter. You know 0:07:10.360 --> 0:07:13.080 who's at the helm, like clearly, I mean, Kirk Cousins 0:07:13.640 --> 0:07:16.640 led this team for years, and now you sub in 0:07:16.880 --> 0:07:21.000 Sam Darnold, who's had a resurgence, a career of vitalization. 0:07:21.480 --> 0:07:25.000 This team's locked and loaded, and they're so well coached defensively, 0:07:25.400 --> 0:07:28.440 they can gun anyone. And you go on the road 0:07:28.440 --> 0:07:32.000 against Seattle, who desperately needs a win. And by the way, Richard, 0:07:32.040 --> 0:07:34.280 they are not eliminated. They go on the road, like 0:07:34.320 --> 0:07:37.320 you said, and play against these lowly Chicago Bears, who 0:07:37.320 --> 0:07:39.760 we saw the Detroit Lions beat up on today, and 0:07:39.800 --> 0:07:43.040 then they finish up in what could be a deciding 0:07:43.160 --> 0:07:45.520 factor game at the end of the season against the 0:07:45.680 --> 0:07:49.080 La Rams. I don't know the tiebreakers. I'm not that 0:07:49.200 --> 0:07:52.160 guru Esse yet. I'd have to check exactly what has 0:07:52.200 --> 0:07:54.640 to go on here for the Seattle Seahawks to make 0:07:54.640 --> 0:07:57.640 the playoffs. But if it comes down to it and 0:07:57.680 --> 0:08:00.840 the Seattle Seahawks have to play the the La Rams 0:08:00.840 --> 0:08:04.520 for that final week, a playing game, potentially, I mean, Richard, 0:08:04.560 --> 0:08:07.840 this could be. This is exactly what the NFL wants 0:08:07.920 --> 0:08:09.640 at the tail end of the season. And to say why 0:08:09.680 --> 0:08:12.600 they schedule these division games at the end, the fact 0:08:12.640 --> 0:08:14.960 that the Detroit Lions at thirteen and two and the 0:08:14.960 --> 0:08:18.000 Minnesota Vikings at thirteen and two are fighting for the 0:08:18.040 --> 0:08:20.960 one seed and one of these teams is not going 0:08:21.040 --> 0:08:23.800 to have home field advantage in Week one of the 0:08:23.840 --> 0:08:28.520 playoffs is a complete Nutter joke. I would say confidently 0:08:28.640 --> 0:08:31.280 right now, these are the two best teams in the NFC. 0:08:31.640 --> 0:08:34.040 But the fact that two teams in the NFC North 0:08:34.240 --> 0:08:37.080 are both thirteen and two and it could potentially come 0:08:37.120 --> 0:08:40.679 down to that final week in Detroit, it is madness. 0:08:40.760 --> 0:08:45.040 And this is exactly what the NFL wants. Let's talk 0:08:45.120 --> 0:08:48.680 more about the Detroit game, because obviously this team has 0:08:48.720 --> 0:08:51.640 been oh my goodness, I mean to say they've been 0:08:52.240 --> 0:08:56.520 injured is an understatement. Twenty two guys on the IR 0:08:57.000 --> 0:09:00.600 entering this week. The next closest team with six. I mean, 0:09:00.640 --> 0:09:03.680 by a comparative factor for all the listeners out there, 0:09:03.800 --> 0:09:06.439 the Detroit Lions have twenty two guys on IR. The 0:09:06.520 --> 0:09:08.800 team they played last week, the Buffalo Bills have a 0:09:08.880 --> 0:09:12.640 total of three. It's a battle of attrition in the NFL. Richard, 0:09:12.679 --> 0:09:15.600 you know that better than anybody. These injuries can come 0:09:15.720 --> 0:09:18.920 up at random at any time, and this Detroit Lion 0:09:19.000 --> 0:09:22.320 team is battling injuries right now. Hopefully they can get 0:09:22.320 --> 0:09:26.360 some key guys back entering the playoffs, but right now, 0:09:26.600 --> 0:09:30.280 the focus and goal of this franchise is to take 0:09:30.320 --> 0:09:32.440 that one seed so that they can have a first 0:09:32.480 --> 0:09:35.960 one first round by and get healthy. They desperately need 0:09:36.040 --> 0:09:37.080 David Montgomery back. 0:09:37.280 --> 0:09:37.600 Today. 0:09:37.600 --> 0:09:40.800 Didn't matter, right, you're playing the Chicago Bears on the road, 0:09:40.960 --> 0:09:43.720 you're projected to win. You take care of business. But 0:09:43.760 --> 0:09:46.600 the reality is you're playing a Division four Richard. You 0:09:46.679 --> 0:09:49.160 know all too well it doesn't matter the record when 0:09:49.160 --> 0:09:52.320 you play a division rival, especially on the road, it does, 0:09:53.120 --> 0:09:55.840 it's anyone's game, and for the Detroit Lions to come 0:09:55.880 --> 0:09:59.720 out with their hair on fire and go up numerous 0:09:59.760 --> 0:10:02.480 score early in this game, it was huge. You can't 0:10:02.520 --> 0:10:04.720 take more than than what the Lions have had to 0:10:04.720 --> 0:10:06.760 overcome this season, and they. 0:10:06.679 --> 0:10:08.520 Keep doing it and doing it and doing it. 0:10:08.960 --> 0:10:11.320 And I don't know, I'm curious to know where your 0:10:11.320 --> 0:10:14.360 head's at with the Detroit Lion team, despite the injuries. 0:10:14.679 --> 0:10:18.240 Do you believe still that they are the NFC's best 0:10:18.520 --> 0:10:19.679 team at this point? 0:10:20.960 --> 0:10:23.720 And I don't think it's particularly close, and I don't 0:10:24.400 --> 0:10:27.440 We watched what the Philadelphia Eagles were today without Jalen 0:10:27.520 --> 0:10:32.719 Hurts obviously, but until they lost CJ. Gardner Johnson. They're 0:10:32.720 --> 0:10:36.040 pretty old on defense, and Jalen Hurts doesn't play defense. 0:10:36.120 --> 0:10:39.640 So to see jayde and Daniels, a rookie quarterback, throw 0:10:39.720 --> 0:10:43.680 for five touchdowns against that defense, was concerning, and it's 0:10:43.720 --> 0:10:46.720 concerning on a number of levels. They scored thirty six 0:10:46.760 --> 0:10:50.199 points on this defense. So that's one of the strengths 0:10:50.280 --> 0:10:52.800 and has been a strength of this Philadelphia Eagles team 0:10:52.840 --> 0:10:55.800 down the stretch, and what we've started to really really 0:10:55.800 --> 0:10:57.960 count on and really give them credit for even when 0:10:58.040 --> 0:11:01.839 Jalen Hurts struggled, it was Akwon Barkley who picked up 0:11:02.120 --> 0:11:06.120 all the extra carried the extra weight. But I believe 0:11:06.120 --> 0:11:10.560 in this Detroit Lions team. I think it's inspiring what 0:11:10.600 --> 0:11:14.160 they're doing. It's inspiring that you talk about next man 0:11:14.280 --> 0:11:16.960 up mentality. It's been that and that's what it is 0:11:17.000 --> 0:11:20.240 for super Bowl caliber teams. You talk about the Kansas 0:11:20.240 --> 0:11:23.560 City Chiefs and what they overcome every single year. They 0:11:23.559 --> 0:11:26.040 lost Pacheco for a while, they put Kareem Hunt in there, 0:11:26.080 --> 0:11:29.160 and it was next man up. They lose a guy, 0:11:29.160 --> 0:11:31.280 they replace him. They lose a guy, they replace him, 0:11:31.320 --> 0:11:33.520 and the next man just keeps stepping up until they 0:11:33.520 --> 0:11:35.320 get to the super Bowl. That's what Detroit is gonna 0:11:35.360 --> 0:11:40.320 have to do. And it's unfortunate. Thankfully, they're saying David 0:11:40.320 --> 0:11:44.079 Montgomery isn't lost for the season. They're saying there's a 0:11:44.160 --> 0:11:46.880 chance that he can return, which would be huge. But 0:11:47.120 --> 0:11:49.400 right now, Jamir Gibbs is gonna have to carry a 0:11:49.480 --> 0:11:50.600 load and that's what he's doing. 0:11:50.679 --> 0:11:53.000 He's and that's what he did today. 0:11:53.080 --> 0:11:55.600 Twenty three carries, one hundred and nine yards, one touchdown, 0:11:55.840 --> 0:12:00.000 four catchers for forty five yards pacted both both phases 0:12:00.280 --> 0:12:03.560 of the offensive game plan. Jamison Williams with his best 0:12:03.600 --> 0:12:05.760 game career high one hundred and forty three yards in 0:12:05.880 --> 0:12:09.280 five catches with the one touchdown. That's what you expected 0:12:09.320 --> 0:12:13.640 from him. And sometimes these injuries allow for other guys 0:12:13.640 --> 0:12:16.360 to flourish and other guys to develop. And these are 0:12:16.360 --> 0:12:19.760 still NFL players you got, you gotta find more, you 0:12:19.840 --> 0:12:23.000 gotta get other guys. Guys are gonna have to step up, 0:12:23.200 --> 0:12:25.560 and it's going to be an inspirational story at the 0:12:25.600 --> 0:12:27.960 end of the day if the Detroit Lions can pull 0:12:28.000 --> 0:12:31.359 it all together and win a Super Bowl under these circumstances, 0:12:31.400 --> 0:12:35.880 with everything against them. They're not making any excuses. They're 0:12:35.920 --> 0:12:38.240 just going out there and getting to work. This was 0:12:38.280 --> 0:12:43.400 a beautifully game plan game by both Aaron Glenn and 0:12:43.800 --> 0:12:46.760 Ben Johnson. Again, the same thing that makes you laugh 0:12:46.760 --> 0:12:49.280 can make you cry. And hopefully the team is able 0:12:49.320 --> 0:12:52.280 to finish a job this year because those coordinators are 0:12:52.360 --> 0:12:55.360 likely going to get head coaching jobs other places. You 0:12:55.440 --> 0:12:59.720 heard Ben Johnson earlier in the week talk about Caleb 0:12:59.760 --> 0:13:02.320 Wodlliams and what's what makes him special and what he'd 0:13:02.360 --> 0:13:04.600 do and how he'd fix him and you know, he 0:13:04.640 --> 0:13:06.600 hasn't looked at a lot of tape, and it's like, 0:13:08.640 --> 0:13:11.200 what are we saying, Ben Johnson? But I hear you 0:13:11.240 --> 0:13:13.800 focus on where your feet are. Focus on where your 0:13:13.800 --> 0:13:15.520 feet are, and that's what he said. He's saying all 0:13:15.559 --> 0:13:18.440 the right things. But that was very curious for me, Metell, 0:13:18.520 --> 0:13:21.600 that was very curious for me to hear. And Caleb 0:13:21.600 --> 0:13:25.000 Williams over the last five games, sixty three percent completion percentage, 0:13:25.000 --> 0:13:28.520 ten touchdowns, no interceptions, one hundred and one point nine 0:13:28.640 --> 0:13:29.400 passer rating. 0:13:29.920 --> 0:13:30.160 Hmm. 0:13:30.320 --> 0:13:33.480 These are things that make me say, hmm. Now he's 0:13:33.520 --> 0:13:36.520 gotten sacked a lot over those games, and I think 0:13:36.559 --> 0:13:40.280 he's held a lot of footballs he could have thrown away, 0:13:40.320 --> 0:13:42.560 which would have lowered that passer rating and things like that, 0:13:42.600 --> 0:13:44.440 And those are things the fans don't really know, but 0:13:44.480 --> 0:13:47.800 an offensive lineman would because an offensive lineman is credited 0:13:47.800 --> 0:13:50.400 with those sacks, but the quarterback's not credited with it 0:13:50.400 --> 0:13:51.080 any completion. 0:13:51.520 --> 0:13:51.840 Mitchell. 0:13:51.880 --> 0:13:54.080 You see how that works there, When a quarterback coats 0:13:54.120 --> 0:13:56.360 the ball and he doesn't have something, he could throw 0:13:56.400 --> 0:13:59.680 it away and lived by another down, but they eat 0:13:59.720 --> 0:14:02.839 it so they can protect their passer rating and things 0:14:02.840 --> 0:14:04.840 of that nature, and offensive linemen have to deal with 0:14:04.840 --> 0:14:07.440 the sac numbers, so we'll get to that at another time. 0:14:07.480 --> 0:14:10.200 But Caleb Williams throws for three hundred and thirty four yards, 0:14:10.200 --> 0:14:12.920 who touchdowns ran it for thirty four yards. But again, 0:14:12.960 --> 0:14:16.040 playing from behind most of this game, it wasn't there. 0:14:16.280 --> 0:14:18.960 They were never really a threat in this game. Keenan Allen, 0:14:19.000 --> 0:14:21.080 the veteran did have nine catches for one hundred and 0:14:21.160 --> 0:14:23.920 forty one yards and one touchdown on a double move, 0:14:23.960 --> 0:14:26.080 which I don't understand why you're biting on in this. 0:14:26.080 --> 0:14:28.600 Situation, but it is what it is. 0:14:28.720 --> 0:14:33.840 Our guy Sonic gets our Brightling players in prime time, 0:14:34.360 --> 0:14:37.360 brought to you by our friends and partners over at Brightling. 0:14:38.120 --> 0:14:40.160 He had a heck of a game. Mitt what they 0:14:40.200 --> 0:14:44.240 asked for more and he delivered. He delivered more in 0:14:44.280 --> 0:14:47.240 both phases of the game. And I think he's going 0:14:47.280 --> 0:14:50.000 to continue to do that. He's going to continue to say, Hey, 0:14:50.160 --> 0:14:53.040 if you don't have knuckles here, I can carry it. 0:14:53.320 --> 0:14:55.480 I can show you I'm a viable back. I am 0:14:55.520 --> 0:14:57.960 a Pro Bowl running back in the National Football League, 0:14:58.080 --> 0:14:59.680 and if you need me to be that, I will 0:14:59.720 --> 0:15:02.280 be that for every down, not just third down. Not 0:15:02.400 --> 0:15:05.000 just past situations. I will be at one hundred percent 0:15:05.040 --> 0:15:07.080 of the time until my guy gets back. And I 0:15:07.160 --> 0:15:10.520 love the unselfishness of this locker room. Whatever it takes, 0:15:10.640 --> 0:15:13.160 seems to be the mentality of everybody in this locker room. 0:15:13.160 --> 0:15:16.360 Mitchell, you gotta be proud, Richard. I am, and you 0:15:16.360 --> 0:15:17.960 know what I am proud about. I was just at 0:15:18.000 --> 0:15:21.600 the Brightling store, you know, this week, flashing off my 0:15:21.680 --> 0:15:25.000 Honolulu Blue Brightling and I'm pretty sure Jamir Gibbs has 0:15:25.000 --> 0:15:26.760 got to match in one of these. And they said, 0:15:26.760 --> 0:15:30.080 the Detroit Lions Brightlings have sold out, my friend. But 0:15:30.160 --> 0:15:33.280 if you yeah, Richard, that's how hot this team is 0:15:33.360 --> 0:15:35.800 right now. These bad boys have sold out. But if 0:15:35.840 --> 0:15:38.520 you are a fan of another team in the NFL 0:15:38.520 --> 0:15:41.720 and you want one, go get you on. Brightling's doing 0:15:41.760 --> 0:15:44.200 some special stuff with teams across the NFL. You guys 0:15:44.240 --> 0:15:47.040 got to check them out. But Richard, this team was 0:15:47.200 --> 0:15:50.080 laughed at. The Detroit Lions were laughed at for drafting 0:15:50.120 --> 0:15:53.560 Jamiir Gibbs at number twelve, and Brad Holmes said he 0:15:53.560 --> 0:15:55.640 would have drafted him at number six if they had 0:15:55.680 --> 0:15:58.240 stayed there, but they chose to trade back, and they 0:15:58.280 --> 0:16:01.120 got him at twelve and it showing why they did that. 0:16:01.320 --> 0:16:04.840 And obviously this team is wanting to grind it out 0:16:04.880 --> 0:16:08.440 and beat teams up between the tackles, Jamier Gibbs, They're 0:16:08.440 --> 0:16:10.160 gonna have to lean on them quite a bit, you know, 0:16:10.200 --> 0:16:11.560 down the stretch. They're gonna have to go to San 0:16:11.600 --> 0:16:14.600 Francisco next week. Rich I'm Monday Night Football, and they're 0:16:14.600 --> 0:16:17.920 gonna have to get another dub A redemption tour continues 0:16:18.200 --> 0:16:21.240 in San Francisco.

I know it's tough. I know it's tough, 0:18:47.040 --> 0:18:50.000 and here comes the hat change, the infamous hat change 0:18:50.800 --> 0:18:52.760 to the San Francisco forty nine Ers. 0:18:53.200 --> 0:18:53.560 Richard. 0:18:54.160 --> 0:18:57.520 This team needed it bad, they know the head coach 0:18:57.560 --> 0:19:01.000 from the Miami Dolphins all too well. Going on the road, 0:19:01.320 --> 0:19:04.879 especially from West coast time zone the East Coast time zone, 0:19:05.000 --> 0:19:07.600 is not easy, and it didn't look easy out there 0:19:07.640 --> 0:19:09.720 for the San Francisco forty nine ers at all. Today 0:19:10.080 --> 0:19:14.080 Miami had a field day. Devon ah Chan got wild 0:19:14.080 --> 0:19:16.720 on him for one hundred and twenty one yards. I 0:19:16.760 --> 0:19:19.000 don't know what's going on with Tyreek Hill, though, Rich 0:19:19.520 --> 0:19:21.640 I want to start there with Tyreek before we get 0:19:21.640 --> 0:19:24.600 more into the San Francisco forty nine ers. What the 0:19:24.640 --> 0:19:27.240 hell is going on with Tyreek Hill? He puts out 0:19:27.280 --> 0:19:33.040 some cryptic tweet earlier today saying that I don't know 0:19:33.040 --> 0:19:34.680 if he wants out of town, or if he wants 0:19:34.680 --> 0:19:37.280 a coaching position, or what the hell's going on. But 0:19:37.359 --> 0:19:40.360 this Tyreek Hill does not look like the Tyreek Hill 0:19:40.520 --> 0:19:44.320 we've become accustomed to. Know what's your mindset with Tyreek? 0:19:45.760 --> 0:19:46.360 I don't know. 0:19:46.920 --> 0:19:48.600 I got to make some phone calls and try to 0:19:48.600 --> 0:19:51.960 figure it out. I got some guys on that coaching staff, 0:19:52.040 --> 0:19:55.720 but he doesn't look like the same guy. He's not 0:19:55.800 --> 0:19:59.639 making the same impact. He looks disinteresting, and obviously you 0:19:59.680 --> 0:20:02.400 see all the he's dropping some passes that he used 0:20:02.400 --> 0:20:06.080 to catch, and that's outside of all the social media theatrics. 0:20:07.440 --> 0:20:11.400 He's just not playing well and they're winning almost in 0:20:11.440 --> 0:20:14.440 spite of him and his performances. To a tunnel Billow 0:20:14.480 --> 0:20:17.280 of twenty two of thirty four two fifteen one touchdown, 0:20:17.359 --> 0:20:20.119 no interceptions, But they need more out of him, and 0:20:20.119 --> 0:20:22.680 they're starting to lead on guys like Jon new Smith 0:20:22.680 --> 0:20:24.760 who's had six catches for sixty two yards, a couple 0:20:24.720 --> 0:20:29.600 of crucial catches in that game. But Devon a Chan 0:20:29.720 --> 0:20:32.840 also six catches for seventy yards. You know, starting to 0:20:32.840 --> 0:20:37.040 become a real factor in the passing game. This was 0:20:37.080 --> 0:20:39.080 a tough one to watch. And I'm not sure what's 0:20:39.119 --> 0:20:40.880
