I think that's an interesting one 26 00:01:26,228 --> 00:01:28,508 Speaker 6: because I think the Raiders could play spoilers. So just 27 00:01:28,548 --> 00:01:31,148 Speaker 6: starting that out there here, I think brock Bauer is 28 00:01:31,148 --> 00:01:31,828 Speaker 6: going up against show. 29 00:01:32,148 --> 00:01:34,388 Speaker 2: That's how we're starting this Thursday.

It's part of the reason I'm wearing 37 00:01:45,108 --> 00:01:45,788 Speaker 8: it's great. 38 00:01:46,388 --> 00:01:46,588 Speaker 2: You know. 39 00:01:46,988 --> 00:01:49,308 Speaker 9: And I gotta say I like the Harball guys, like 40 00:01:49,548 --> 00:01:52,148 Speaker 9: the Harmball brothers.

What is the 54 00:02:24,028 --> 00:02:27,308 Speaker 5: San Francisco forty nine Ers against the Green Bay Packers. 55 00:02:27,348 --> 00:02:30,468 Speaker 4: The history of the series is never avolved playoff games. 56 00:02:30,588 --> 00:02:32,628 Speaker 5: What a throw by Brett Farr is the best passer 57 00:02:32,668 --> 00:02:33,628 Speaker 5: at football. 58 00:02:33,268 --> 00:02:35,748 Speaker 2: To it a no moment of the searching for the 59 00:02:35,788 --> 00:02:36,548 Speaker 2: Packers right now? 60 00:02:36,588 --> 00:02:38,388 Speaker 5: Will the forty nine Ers ever be able to beat 61 00:02:38,428 --> 00:02:38,828 Speaker 5: the Packers? 62 00:02:38,868 --> 00:02:41,268 Speaker 2: When accounts in the playoffs? The Packers back to the 63 00:02:41,308 --> 00:02:44,028 Speaker 2: Super Bowl, a series that's been dominated by the Green 64 00:02:44,028 --> 00:02:46,948 Speaker 2: Bay Packers.

Special teams 74 00:03:16,988 --> 00:03:18,108 Speaker 5: killing the Packers. 75 00:03:18,268 --> 00:03:19,708 Speaker 12: You have to be kidnaping. 76 00:03:22,628 --> 00:03:24,708 Speaker 3: That's always fun when someone says you have to be 77 00:03:24,788 --> 00:03:27,348 Speaker 3: kidding me. It's like what just went down for someone 78 00:03:27,428 --> 00:03:30,508 Speaker 3: to warrant them saying that, here's the NFC playoff picture. 79 00:03:30,548 --> 00:03:31,588 Speaker 5: What is about to go down? 80 00:03:31,628 --> 00:03:34,908 Speaker 3: How will these teams jockey for position as the second 81 00:03:34,908 --> 00:03:38,268 Speaker 3: half of the season comes to be. But the thing 82 00:03:38,468 --> 00:03:41,268 Speaker 3: is the forty nine Ers and the Packers, they sit 83 00:03:41,348 --> 00:03:45,108 Speaker 3: where they do ahead of this matchup. Peter Early thoughts 84 00:03:45,348 --> 00:03:47,908 Speaker 3: on what's going down at Lambo this weekend. Pack forty 85 00:03:47,948 --> 00:03:49,708 Speaker 3: nine Ers sit a five hundred. The Packers are seven 86 00:03:49,748 --> 00:03:50,068 Speaker 3: and three. 87 00:03:51,228 --> 00:03:54,708 Speaker 6: I'm watching that twenty twenty one divisional game highlight where 88 00:03:54,828 --> 00:03:57,268 Speaker 6: the forty nine Ers, you know, come in there as 89 00:03:57,308 --> 00:03:59,828 Speaker 6: the big underdogs. It snuck into the playoffs at the end, 90 00:03:59,828 --> 00:04:02,548 Speaker 6: and they go into green Bay and Rodgers is it's 91 00:04:02,868 --> 00:04:05,308 Speaker 6: he's smoking the cigar and he's kicked back, is feeling good, 92 00:04:05,308 --> 00:04:07,308 Speaker 6: and they come into their building and that's when they 93 00:04:07,348 --> 00:04:10,748 Speaker 6: ran Trent Williams in motion and that's when the special 94 00:04:10,788 --> 00:04:15,228 Speaker 6: teams has absolutely failed green Bay And I'm like, don't 95 00:04:15,588 --> 00:04:18,548 Speaker 6: I don't even recall, this is not that forty nine 96 00:04:18,628 --> 00:04:21,708 Speaker 6: Ers team right now. That team came in and they 97 00:04:21,708 --> 00:04:25,228 Speaker 6: were hungry and disciplined and we're ready. 98 00:04:24,908 --> 00:04:25,548 Speaker 2: To take on it. 99 00:04:25,748 --> 00:04:28,948 Speaker 6: This forty nine Ers team this year loses games they 100 00:04:28,988 --> 00:04:31,068 Speaker 6: should win and that they've typically won. 101 00:04:31,708 --> 00:04:34,828 Speaker 2: They lost last week to the Seahawks at home. 102 00:04:34,988 --> 00:04:36,588 Speaker 6: In a game where they were winning most of the game, 103 00:04:36,628 --> 00:04:39,268 Speaker 6: and they let Gino Smith just march right downfield and 104 00:04:39,348 --> 00:04:41,108 Speaker 6: go to the distance. When brock Perty needed to make 105 00:04:41,108 --> 00:04:44,748 Speaker 6: a big play, he overthrew Deebo Samuel when Deebo was 106 00:04:44,788 --> 00:04:47,788 Speaker 6: going underneath. The only guys that have really been playing 107 00:04:47,948 --> 00:04:49,348 Speaker 6: above what they played. 108 00:04:49,148 --> 00:04:50,588 Speaker 2: Last year in San Francisco. 109 00:04:51,948 --> 00:04:54,708 Speaker 6: Probably, I would say Juwan Jennings has evolved into like 110 00:04:54,748 --> 00:04:59,188 Speaker 6: the superstar player. He's been outstanding and maybe perty because 111 00:04:59,188 --> 00:05:02,628 Speaker 6: he's been carrying this team on his back. McCaffrey's getting back, 112 00:05:02,708 --> 00:05:07,148 Speaker 6: but we still don't see hundred percent Christian McCaffrey. I 113 00:05:07,188 --> 00:05:10,588 Speaker 6: look at the defense. Bosa's clearly hurt. He's out there 114 00:05:10,588 --> 00:05:12,588 Speaker 6: and he's barely getting by with those hip and the 115 00:05:12,588 --> 00:05:13,388 Speaker 6: oblique injuries. 116 00:05:13,388 --> 00:05:15,268 Speaker 2: You could obviously tell that he's not himself. 117 00:05:15,708 --> 00:05:18,428 Speaker 6: And they're five and five, they're a five hundred team 118 00:05:18,708 --> 00:05:21,268 Speaker 6: who has lost to the Arizona Cardinals this year, who 119 00:05:21,268 --> 00:05:24,668 Speaker 6: has lost in crazy fashion to the Los Angeles Rams 120 00:05:25,228 --> 00:05:27,668 Speaker 6: and has now lost to the Seattle Seahawks in the division. 121 00:05:27,708 --> 00:05:30,548 Speaker 6: I don't have that feeling of the guys with the 122 00:05:30,588 --> 00:05:33,148 Speaker 6: boom box and coming off the bus and you don't 123 00:05:33,188 --> 00:05:36,708 Speaker 6: want to face Trent Williams. This is a mediocre Niners 124 00:05:36,708 --> 00:05:38,588 Speaker 6: team and they are worse than they were last year. 125 00:05:38,868 --> 00:05:41,868 Speaker 6: They played five winning teams in their last seven games, 126 00:05:41,908 --> 00:05:44,988 Speaker 6: teams of winning records. Packers are one of them. Now 127 00:05:45,108 --> 00:05:48,508 Speaker 6: or never, guys like turn it on or maybe we 128 00:05:48,588 --> 00:05:50,748 Speaker 6: talk about let's see what else we've got to do 129 00:05:50,788 --> 00:05:54,708 Speaker 6: this offseason because a five and five Niners team. I 130 00:05:54,748 --> 00:05:56,668 Speaker 6: saw this and I sorry to eat up all the time. 131 00:05:56,708 --> 00:05:57,828 Speaker 2: I know we got a lot of people here. 132 00:05:58,108 --> 00:06:02,788 Speaker 6: Good right now, they're twenty seven percent chance to make 133 00:06:02,828 --> 00:06:05,548 Speaker 6: the playoffs right now, not great on the outside looking in. 134 00:06:06,188 --> 00:06:08,908 Speaker 2: A win bumps them to fifty percent. We're alive. 135 00:06:09,428 --> 00:06:13,268 Speaker 6: A loss brings them down to the teams like thirteen percent. 136 00:06:13,748 --> 00:06:16,908 Speaker 6: Huge game tonight, huge game, And if if we're being honest, 137 00:06:17,428 --> 00:06:18,948 Speaker 6: the last team I want to see in the playoffs 138 00:06:19,028 --> 00:06:21,748 Speaker 6: or the San Francisco forty nine ers with all their experience, and. 139 00:06:22,028 --> 00:06:24,228 Speaker 2: If McCaffrey gets going and they can get everywhere. 140 00:06:24,428 --> 00:06:27,548 Speaker 6: But right now, if I'm the Packers, I'm not at 141 00:06:27,548 --> 00:06:29,628 Speaker 6: all scared of this team coming in and shocking you 142 00:06:29,748 --> 00:06:31,428 Speaker 6: like they did a couple of years ago in the playoffs. 143 00:06:31,468 --> 00:06:33,668 Speaker 9: You know, you're right, they should be scared. They absolutely 144 00:06:33,708 --> 00:06:37,308 Speaker 9: should be scared. You said it that they're playing very mediocre, 145 00:06:37,348 --> 00:06:39,708 Speaker 9: and it is surprising because we know what the forty 146 00:06:39,788 --> 00:06:41,668 Speaker 9: nine ers are capable of doing. But I think that 147 00:06:41,748 --> 00:06:44,068 Speaker 9: the way they're going to kind of set this thing 148 00:06:44,108 --> 00:06:46,428 Speaker 9: straight with the forty nine ers the Packers, They're going 149 00:06:46,468 --> 00:06:47,988 Speaker 9: to run the ball. And I think this is where 150 00:06:47,988 --> 00:06:50,828 Speaker 9: they're going to utilize Josh Jacob and what he's been doing. 151 00:06:50,868 --> 00:06:53,108 Speaker 9: He has been crushing it. He's going to take these 152 00:06:53,188 --> 00:06:56,028 Speaker 9: dudes to school. And I really love what these guys 153 00:06:56,028 --> 00:06:58,468 Speaker 9: have really done, especially on the run scheme. They have 154 00:06:58,548 --> 00:07:00,428 Speaker 9: been so dominant. You know, running the ball is not 155 00:07:00,508 --> 00:07:03,388 Speaker 9: just about controlling the clock. It's dominant, and I think 156 00:07:03,388 --> 00:07:05,588 Speaker 9: that's how they're going to us hurt their dominances team. 157 00:07:05,668 --> 00:07:06,948 Speaker 2: And I know the forty nine ers. 158 00:07:06,788 --> 00:07:10,108 Speaker 9: Have a really good defense, but it's very interesting when 159 00:07:10,108 --> 00:07:11,668 Speaker 9: I watch the Packers, and you look at them on 160 00:07:11,748 --> 00:07:14,108 Speaker 9: film and you see that the way they use schemes, 161 00:07:14,148 --> 00:07:17,908 Speaker 9: the way they schematically try to create distancing, open up lanes, 162 00:07:18,108 --> 00:07:20,828 Speaker 9: the offensive line up front, they have just been pushing 163 00:07:20,908 --> 00:07:24,028 Speaker 9: dudes around. When you watch that. There's a reason why 164 00:07:24,388 --> 00:07:27,268 Speaker 9: Josh Jacob has been the most explosive and one of 165 00:07:27,268 --> 00:07:30,068 Speaker 9: the most explosive players when it comes to run the 166 00:07:30,148 --> 00:07:32,908 Speaker 9: run game. He's had so many explosive runs, and I 167 00:07:32,908 --> 00:07:34,988 Speaker 9: think we're going to see that again in this game. 168 00:07:35,348 --> 00:07:37,788 Speaker 9: I like the Packers to really just punch it to 169 00:07:37,828 --> 00:07:40,948 Speaker 9: the forty nine ers and get them below five hundred. 170 00:07:41,428 --> 00:07:41,588 Speaker 12: You know. 171 00:07:41,668 --> 00:07:44,028 Speaker 4: I like everything that Peter said. I like the fact 172 00:07:44,028 --> 00:07:47,148 Speaker 4: that he talked about how it just looks a little 173 00:07:48,108 --> 00:07:50,068 Speaker 4: it just looks a little rough right now over there 174 00:07:50,068 --> 00:07:53,148 Speaker 4: in San Francisco, And he identified one person, Jawan Jennings, 175 00:07:53,188 --> 00:07:56,268 Speaker 4: as probably being the lone star there for the San 176 00:07:56,308 --> 00:07:58,468 Speaker 4: Francisco for nine ers, And I think I like to 177 00:07:58,468 --> 00:08:01,628 Speaker 4: make an argument that Jowan Jennings, out of everybody on 178 00:08:01,668 --> 00:08:03,748 Speaker 4: that for the Niners offense, is the only one that 179 00:08:03,748 --> 00:08:04,788 Speaker 4: has consistent. 180 00:08:04,668 --> 00:08:05,948 Speaker 5: Been there with brock Purty. 181 00:08:05,948 --> 00:08:08,628 Speaker 4: And there's no surprise, there's no surprise to me why 182 00:08:08,668 --> 00:08:12,308 Speaker 4: that connection seems to be the only connection that's been working. 183 00:08:12,028 --> 00:08:13,428 Speaker 5: For the San Francisco forty nine ers. 184 00:08:13,428 --> 00:08:16,148 Speaker 4: You think about Christian McCaffrey, this is just his third year, 185 00:08:16,428 --> 00:08:19,228 Speaker 4: his third week back from being on IR. You look 186 00:08:19,268 --> 00:08:22,108 Speaker 4: at Deebo Samuel and that connection with brock Party that's 187 00:08:22,148 --> 00:08:24,588 Speaker 4: been a little off, and you start to think about, well, 188 00:08:24,908 --> 00:08:27,228 Speaker 4: Deebel's been in and out a little bit. George Kittle 189 00:08:27,308 --> 00:08:29,508 Speaker 4: was out last week, so you can go down the list. 190 00:08:29,588 --> 00:08:33,228 Speaker 4: Ricky Pearsol was out for a while, Trent Williams is 191 00:08:33,228 --> 00:08:34,788 Speaker 4: on and off the field. And when you have all 192 00:08:34,828 --> 00:08:37,628 Speaker 4: of these guys, and that's not even considering the IR squad, 193 00:08:37,868 --> 00:08:40,148 Speaker 4: their whole IR squad could beat a lot of active 194 00:08:40,188 --> 00:08:43,868 Speaker 4: squads today. You think about what they have and what 195 00:08:43,908 --> 00:08:44,708 Speaker 4: they're dealing with. 196 00:08:45,548 --> 00:08:46,908 Speaker 5: Not only do they not have a lot of. 197 00:08:46,908 --> 00:08:49,428 Speaker 4: Their pieces, but the pieces that are there that are 198 00:08:49,468 --> 00:08:51,988 Speaker 4: constantly going in and out, you're not You're not able 199 00:08:52,028 --> 00:08:54,348 Speaker 4: to create that relationship and that chemistry that we've been 200 00:08:54,348 --> 00:08:56,188 Speaker 4: so used to seeing for the past few years. And 201 00:08:56,228 --> 00:08:58,828 Speaker 4: I know earlier in the year, during the preseason, I 202 00:08:58,828 --> 00:09:01,508 Speaker 4: said that this San Francisco forty nine Ers team does 203 00:09:01,588 --> 00:09:03,468 Speaker 4: not look the same, and I got a lot of 204 00:09:03,468 --> 00:09:05,268 Speaker 4: heat from it from a lot of family members. 205 00:09:05,268 --> 00:09:07,548 Speaker 5: But I think we can sit here at week eleven, 206 00:09:07,588 --> 00:09:10,108 Speaker 5: week twelve, whatever it is, and all agree. 207 00:09:09,788 --> 00:09:12,548 Speaker 4: That this isn't the same San Francisco Forda Niners team 208 00:09:12,548 --> 00:09:15,468 Speaker 4: that we've been used to seeing under Kyle Shanahan. And 209 00:09:15,508 --> 00:09:17,708 Speaker 4: you know, a lot has to do with their history 210 00:09:17,788 --> 00:09:21,668 Speaker 4: and and how how how many miles this this San 211 00:09:21,708 --> 00:09:24,668 Speaker 4: Francisco Forda Niners train has on them. But then also 212 00:09:25,708 --> 00:09:27,548 Speaker 4: the guys that they have a lot of guys out, 213 00:09:27,628 --> 00:09:30,108 Speaker 4: you know, and and and and it's hard to put 214 00:09:30,108 --> 00:09:33,588 Speaker 4: together a championship team when you don't have all your pieces. 215 00:09:33,628 --> 00:09:36,508 Speaker 4: So this is gonna be a big challenge for them 216 00:09:36,548 --> 00:09:39,388 Speaker 4: on on on Sunday, going on with going against a 217 00:09:39,508 --> 00:09:42,828 Speaker 4: very healthy Jordan Love who looks very different, and it's 218 00:09:42,868 --> 00:09:43,588 Speaker 4: going to be exciting. 219 00:09:45,028 --> 00:09:47,068 Speaker 8: Niners are fascinating right now. I'm gonna talk to them 220 00:09:47,068 --> 00:09:49,268 Speaker 8: in a second. But I think the Packers, I think 221 00:09:49,268 --> 00:09:51,348 Speaker 8: they're in a great spot. 222 00:09:51,508 --> 00:09:52,788 Speaker 5: I like where the Packers are at. 223 00:09:52,828 --> 00:09:56,308 Speaker 8: For whatever reason, this Packers team just just doesn't pop 224 00:09:56,788 --> 00:09:58,908 Speaker 8: or click. It's a weird thing when you see that 225 00:09:59,028 --> 00:10:01,948 Speaker 8: logo and that record. I can't remember a time we've 226 00:10:01,948 --> 00:10:04,388 Speaker 8: talked about a Packers team at seven and three less 227 00:10:04,508 --> 00:10:06,428 Speaker 8: than this, with that type of history and that type 228 00:10:06,428 --> 00:10:08,188 Speaker 8: of franchise and that type of success they've had. 229 00:10:08,588 --> 00:10:09,308 Speaker 2: And I like it. 230 00:10:09,348 --> 00:10:11,348 Speaker 8: And I know it's a little bit because the Lions 231 00:10:11,388 --> 00:10:13,468 Speaker 8: suck all the oxygen and out of the NFC North 232 00:10:13,668 --> 00:10:15,668 Speaker 8: and to an extent sort of the Vikings and even 233 00:10:15,708 --> 00:10:18,908 Speaker 8: the Bears. The Packers had an incredible last minute win 234 00:10:18,988 --> 00:10:21,468 Speaker 8: last weekend and they're given no credit nothing. It's been 235 00:10:21,548 --> 00:10:24,268 Speaker 8: all about the Bears. I like where the Packers are at. 236 00:10:24,308 --> 00:10:27,068 Speaker 8: They're very, very under the radar, even at seven and 237 00:10:27,068 --> 00:10:29,028 Speaker 8: three for that team, which is tough. I think if 238 00:10:29,028 --> 00:10:31,588 Speaker 8: they smack the Niners tonight, it's welcome to the conversation 239 00:10:31,628 --> 00:10:33,988 Speaker 8: and can we talk about the Packers winning the NFC. 240 00:10:34,148 --> 00:10:36,828 Speaker 8: But for now, I like exactly where they are. As 241 00:10:36,868 --> 00:10:41,788 Speaker 8: for the Niners, I listen, Peter has a great relationship 242 00:10:41,788 --> 00:10:43,588 Speaker 8: with forty nine Ers and all the organization and all 243 00:10:43,588 --> 00:10:45,908 Speaker 8: their staff and all their coaches. I hope that they 244 00:10:46,068 --> 00:10:48,908 Speaker 8: played Peter's take before the team before the game tonight, 245 00:10:48,948 --> 00:10:51,108 Speaker 8: because Peter was sitting here being like, real talk, here's 246 00:10:51,108 --> 00:10:52,308 Speaker 8: what you are and here's what you aren't. 247 00:10:52,348 --> 00:10:54,228 Speaker 2: There's a lot of takes out there about. 248 00:10:53,988 --> 00:10:55,148 Speaker 5: The Niners right now, a lot. 249 00:10:56,388 --> 00:10:58,268 Speaker 2: I saw one of them that was, you. 250 00:10:58,188 --> 00:11:01,748 Speaker 8: Know what, this physical style of play they have their 251 00:11:01,788 --> 00:11:03,868 Speaker 8: personnel is just kind of getting old. 252 00:11:03,948 --> 00:11:05,428 Speaker 2: I don't know if they could do it anymore. 253 00:11:05,908 --> 00:11:06,268 Speaker 5: Niners. 254 00:11:06,268 --> 00:11:08,668 Speaker 8: I would say, the hell with that, Peter, you lose 255 00:11:08,708 --> 00:11:11,148 Speaker 8: this game, start thinking about the offseason. 256 00:11:11,268 --> 00:11:13,308 Speaker 2: Niners, I would say, the hell with that. Manta. 257 00:11:13,388 --> 00:11:15,668 Speaker 8: I see Manta is getting aggregated all over. 258 00:11:15,508 --> 00:11:18,708 Speaker 2: The internet for saying they look emotionally drained. The hell 259 00:11:18,748 --> 00:11:18,988 Speaker 2: with that. 260 00:11:19,468 --> 00:11:21,508 Speaker 8: I would say to the forty nine ers, you're five 261 00:11:21,548 --> 00:11:24,828 Speaker 8: and five. That team that went into Lambo in twenty 262 00:11:24,868 --> 00:11:27,828 Speaker 8: twenty one that Peter said he doesn't recognize was three 263 00:11:27,868 --> 00:11:29,348 Speaker 8: and five, and they. 264 00:11:29,268 --> 00:11:30,428 Speaker 2: Made it to the title game. 265 00:11:30,828 --> 00:11:33,548 Speaker 8: The next year they were three and four, and they 266 00:11:33,548 --> 00:11:36,548 Speaker 8: made it to the title game. Last year they went 267 00:11:36,588 --> 00:11:39,628 Speaker 8: a whole month without winning a game and they made 268 00:11:39,668 --> 00:11:40,668 Speaker 8: it to the Super Bowl. 269 00:11:41,228 --> 00:11:43,908 Speaker 2: And I get it. Injuries. The Niners were the book 270 00:11:43,948 --> 00:11:44,468 Speaker 2: on injuries. 271 00:11:44,508 --> 00:11:46,188 Speaker 8: They get out of bed in the morning with some 272 00:11:46,428 --> 00:11:50,148 Speaker 8: terrible injury to some terrible, really important player that they have. 273 00:11:50,668 --> 00:11:52,948 Speaker 8: This is perfect if you are right where you want 274 00:11:52,988 --> 00:11:55,588 Speaker 8: to be. This is a classic Niners season. There's too 275 00:11:55,628 --> 00:11:58,468 Speaker 8: many injuries, you're too old, it's not working perfect. 276 00:11:58,468 --> 00:11:59,388 Speaker 2: And guess where you're going. 277 00:11:59,628 --> 00:12:02,508 Speaker 8: You're going to Levi Stadium North that you own, that 278 00:12:02,548 --> 00:12:06,468 Speaker 8: you are more comfortable in. Get up, shut up, ball 279 00:12:06,548 --> 00:12:09,708 Speaker 8: out beat the Packers, and we'll be sitting here in 280 00:12:09,788 --> 00:12:12,708 Speaker 8: January like, well, there they are, the Niners back in 281 00:12:12,788 --> 00:12:15,468 Speaker 8: the title game. They overcame the injury, they found their mojo. 282 00:12:15,668 --> 00:12:17,148 Speaker 8: They had a crappy record in the middle of the 283 00:12:17,148 --> 00:12:20,148 Speaker 8: season like they almost always do, and here they are. 284 00:12:20,188 --> 00:12:22,668 Speaker 8: They put it together. I can't let go of this team. 285 00:12:22,828 --> 00:12:25,348 Speaker 8: I can't do it. I said it yesterday, I'll say 286 00:12:25,348 --> 00:12:30,108 Speaker 8: it again. Injuries, age, sluggishness, emotionally drained. I think they'd 287 00:12:30,148 --> 00:12:32,628 Speaker 8: go into Lambeo and win tonight. I like the Niners 288 00:12:32,628 --> 00:12:33,068 Speaker 8: in Lamba. 289 00:12:33,228 --> 00:12:35,228 Speaker 3: Kyle, what the forty nine ers have been through over 290 00:12:35,228 --> 00:12:36,428 Speaker 3: the last couple of years. 291 00:12:36,668 --> 00:12:42,388 Speaker 6: I like them Sunday Sunday yesday, so we wanted tonight night. 292 00:12:42,548 --> 00:12:45,308 Speaker 3: Yeah, Kyle, it almost like the forty nine ers said 293 00:12:45,308 --> 00:12:47,348 Speaker 3: that same affect that you were talking about with Bears 294 00:12:47,388 --> 00:12:49,788 Speaker 3: fans and how like they have a block field goal 295 00:12:49,868 --> 00:12:51,468 Speaker 3: to win and you're just like, I feel nothing like 296 00:12:51,468 --> 00:12:53,828 Speaker 3: the forty nine Ers, to your point, everything that has 297 00:12:53,868 --> 00:12:56,508 Speaker 3: happened to them emotionally physically over the last five years, 298 00:12:56,548 --> 00:12:59,428 Speaker 3: Like they just get up, they beat teams, like they 299 00:12:59,428 --> 00:13:01,668 Speaker 3: get to January and they're just like, until we're in 300 00:13:01,668 --> 00:13:04,348 Speaker 3: the NFC Championship, we will show no emotion. But whatever, 301 00:13:04,468 --> 00:13:06,108 Speaker 3: or they'll get there and if we're and if they do, 302 00:13:06,148 --> 00:13:09,348 Speaker 3: we won't be surprised because of their personnel.

Forty nine Ers the show. 312 00:13:30,988 --> 00:13:33,308 Speaker 3: Whenever you want, toy, it happens. 313 00:13:33,588 --> 00:13:35,188 Speaker 2: All right, how about a little bit of good news. 314 00:13:35,428 --> 00:13:38,228 Speaker 10: Let start with some good news for the forty nine Ers. 315 00:13:38,228 --> 00:13:41,908 Speaker 10: Their tight end George Kittle says he will play in 316 00:13:41,948 --> 00:13:43,908 Speaker 10: the game on Sunday. 317 00:13:43,788 --> 00:13:44,708 Speaker 2: Against the Packers. 318 00:13:44,748 --> 00:13:47,148 Speaker 10: Kittle set out last week because he was dealing with 319 00:13:47,148 --> 00:13:50,228 Speaker 10: some hamstring sortus. He's not even listed on the injury 320 00:13:50,268 --> 00:13:53,228 Speaker 10: report this week. That means they expect he is going 321 00:13:53,308 --> 00:13:56,188 Speaker 10: to be good to go, certainly a boost for that 322 00:13:56,228 --> 00:13:59,988 Speaker 10: forty nine Ers offense. Quarterback Brock Party listed as limited 323 00:14:00,068 --> 00:14:02,428 Speaker 10: on the injury report as he continues to deal with 324 00:14:02,548 --> 00:14:05,268 Speaker 10: a sore throwing shoulder. I told you on the show 325 00:14:05,308 --> 00:14:09,108 Speaker 10: on Tuesday, it's not anything that should impact his availability 326 00:14:09,108 --> 00:14:12,148 Speaker 10: for Sunday. That remains true. They do want to be 327 00:14:12,188 --> 00:14:15,388 Speaker 10: cautious with his reps, though. During the course of the week, 328 00:14:15,748 --> 00:14:17,948 Speaker 10: Kyle Shanahan is saying that the concerned level is not 329 00:14:18,108 --> 00:14:19,788 Speaker 10: much right now, and they'll see how the rest of 330 00:14:19,828 --> 00:14:23,348 Speaker 10: this week goes. Shanahan also said of star pass rusher 331 00:14:23,428 --> 00:14:26,268 Speaker 10: Nick Bosa, he definitely might be ready and he definitely 332 00:14:26,348 --> 00:14:28,668 Speaker 10: might not be ready. In other words, stay tuned. They'll 333 00:14:28,668 --> 00:14:30,628 Speaker 10: give him all the way up to kickoff. As Bosa 334 00:14:30,628 --> 00:14:33,588 Speaker 10: deals with hip and oblique injuries, this is something that's 335 00:14:33,588 --> 00:14:34,508 Speaker 10: been ongoing. 336 00:14:34,788 --> 00:14:37,428 Speaker 2: He aggravated it last week against the Seahawks. 337 00:14:37,468 --> 00:14:39,868 Speaker 10: You can see how much pain he was in limping 338 00:14:39,908 --> 00:14:42,868 Speaker 10: off the field at one point. Certainly that would be 339 00:14:42,908 --> 00:14:45,268 Speaker 10: a huge loss if Bosa is not able to go, 340 00:14:45,348 --> 00:14:47,388 Speaker 10: But as you guys have been documenting, this is a 341 00:14:47,428 --> 00:14:50,348 Speaker 10: big game tonight, I mean on Sunday for the forty 342 00:14:50,428 --> 00:14:51,908 Speaker 10: nine ers. If there's a way for Nick Bosa to 343 00:14:51,908 --> 00:14:53,468 Speaker 10: be out there, they want to make sure that they 344 00:14:53,508 --> 00:14:54,828 Speaker 10: give him every opportunity to do that. 345 00:14:57,308 --> 00:15:00,828 Speaker 3: All right, everybody a signer Beneath the Surface presented by 346 00:15:00,908 --> 00:15:02,588 Speaker 3: Microsoft Service. I'm not gonna lie to you. We've been 347 00:15:02,628 --> 00:15:04,148 Speaker 3: doing this segment a long time. I don't know if 348 00:15:04,148 --> 00:15:06,188 Speaker 3: I want to gobnat the surface on this scenario. We've 349 00:15:06,188 --> 00:15:10,948 Speaker 3: got Giants starting quarterback Tommy DeVito keep track here, and 350 00:15:10,988 --> 00:15:14,148 Speaker 3: the still QB two for the New York Giants. Even 351 00:15:14,188 --> 00:15:16,148 Speaker 3: though he was QB two and then got bench, he 352 00:15:16,188 --> 00:15:18,548 Speaker 3: didn't become QB one. It's a whole complicated thing. Daniel 353 00:15:18,588 --> 00:15:21,108 Speaker 3: Jones is no longer the starter. Tommy DeVito is. The 354 00:15:21,148 --> 00:15:24,268 Speaker 3: Giants announced that this week. And Andrew Locke was asked 355 00:15:24,308 --> 00:15:27,468 Speaker 3: about these roster decisions. That is locker yesterday. 356 00:15:27,948 --> 00:15:28,868 Speaker 2: Take a listen. 357 00:15:30,468 --> 00:15:33,508 Speaker 10: When they tell you, you know, it's based on what 358 00:15:33,508 --> 00:15:35,788 Speaker 10: they saw last year that the kind of the juice. 359 00:15:35,548 --> 00:15:39,228 Speaker 5: Said it gave the team. How do you not wonder, well, 360 00:15:39,228 --> 00:15:41,508 Speaker 5: why was I the number two the whole time? Then 361 00:15:41,508 --> 00:15:43,508 Speaker 5: why was he? Why was he the number two? Then 362 00:15:43,548 --> 00:15:44,028 Speaker 5: if that's week. 363 00:15:44,228 --> 00:15:48,508 Speaker 13: Yeah, again, that's you know, that's a question I might 364 00:15:48,548 --> 00:15:53,468 Speaker 13: still have for myself, and Knows expressed to me that 365 00:15:53,508 --> 00:15:56,028 Speaker 13: I was going to be the two, and I know 366 00:15:56,028 --> 00:16:01,268 Speaker 13: it's just an interesting situation. How much I can really 367 00:16:01,308 --> 00:16:03,948 Speaker 13: say about it. Besides, again, I'm gonna I'm gonna be 368 00:16:03,988 --> 00:16:07,788 Speaker 13: here for him, and you know we're still communicating, still 369 00:16:07,908 --> 00:16:11,388 Speaker 13: very good friends, believe it or not. No, yeah, I'm 370 00:16:11,388 --> 00:16:13,548 Speaker 13: gonna be your forum. As team needs to get a win, 371 00:16:13,628 --> 00:16:17,748 Speaker 13: and we start winning, everything gets a little better on here, all. 372 00:16:17,788 --> 00:16:20,268 Speaker 3: Right, So Tommy DeVito and Drew Locke will remain as 373 00:16:20,268 --> 00:16:22,668 Speaker 3: the quarterbacks available to the Giants. And I know, Peter, 374 00:16:22,788 --> 00:16:26,148 Speaker 3: you're going to be able to inspect this situation appropriately 375 00:16:26,188 --> 00:16:27,748 Speaker 3: because not only do you know the Giants so well, 376 00:16:27,788 --> 00:16:30,028 Speaker 3: but also I heard on the Season with Peter Schrager 377 00:16:30,108 --> 00:16:32,908 Speaker 3: this week, Shaan Stillato, Tommy DeVito's agent, is back on 378 00:16:32,948 --> 00:16:35,148 Speaker 3: the pod. So now you got that take too. 379 00:16:35,268 --> 00:16:38,148 Speaker 6: So Peter, go right ahead, everyone go listen to the 380 00:16:38,148 --> 00:16:40,828 Speaker 6: podcast called The Season with Peter Schreger. Quick plug Shaun 381 00:16:40,828 --> 00:16:43,948 Speaker 6: Stallato tells a story about meeting the Pope and not 382 00:16:44,068 --> 00:16:46,428 Speaker 6: Mike Francessa, not someone down there in New Orleans, the 383 00:16:46,468 --> 00:16:47,948 Speaker 6: actual Pope this off season. 384 00:16:48,628 --> 00:16:50,388 Speaker 2: Yes, at the Vatican, Stillado and. 385 00:16:50,348 --> 00:16:53,908 Speaker 6: He presented him with a gift of football from Tommy 386 00:16:53,908 --> 00:16:57,828 Speaker 6: DeVito opposite, and I said, that is just incredible. So 387 00:16:57,828 --> 00:17:00,788 Speaker 6: Shaun Stellato is the agent for Tommy DeVito. And yet 388 00:17:00,828 --> 00:17:03,668 Speaker 6: I don't feel like this is a giant circus situation. 389 00:17:03,868 --> 00:17:05,308 Speaker 2: I actually I feel like Davito. 390 00:17:06,068 --> 00:17:08,668 Speaker 6: The Giants coaching staff felt more comfortable with DeVito under 391 00:17:08,708 --> 00:17:09,548 Speaker 6: center than Drew Locke. 392 00:17:09,548 --> 00:17:10,668 Speaker 2: Otherwise you'd played Drew Lock. 393 00:17:10,708 --> 00:17:13,068 Speaker 6: Drew Loock's been number two all along, Drew Lock was 394 00:17:13,068 --> 00:17:15,988 Speaker 6: signed to a five million dollar contract over this offseason, 395 00:17:16,308 --> 00:17:18,588 Speaker 6: and Devido's been the number three, and Da Vido. 396 00:17:18,428 --> 00:17:19,788 Speaker 2: Gets the nod over Drew Lock. 397 00:17:19,908 --> 00:17:22,228 Speaker 6: Now there's a lot of controversy in New York because 398 00:17:22,268 --> 00:17:24,788 Speaker 6: Dexter Lawrence came out and was like, Daniel Jones is 399 00:17:24,788 --> 00:17:26,228 Speaker 6: the best quarterback on our team. I don't know what 400 00:17:26,268 --> 00:17:28,908 Speaker 6: we're doing, Like I want Daniel Jones on the field 401 00:17:29,468 --> 00:17:31,828 Speaker 6: whether or not you know, financials make sense because there's 402 00:17:31,828 --> 00:17:33,828 Speaker 6: an injury clause, Like I want to win and I 403 00:17:33,828 --> 00:17:36,588 Speaker 6: want Daniel Jones. Well, now you have a controversy because the. 404 00:17:36,548 --> 00:17:39,508 Speaker 2: Number two was actually the number three. 405 00:17:39,348 --> 00:17:43,468 Speaker 6: All along, they go against Tampa. Now, Davito Mania took 406 00:17:43,508 --> 00:17:45,628 Speaker 6: Storm last year. They were two and eight last year, 407 00:17:45,628 --> 00:17:47,468 Speaker 6: and he won three straight games and got them to 408 00:17:47,508 --> 00:17:47,908 Speaker 6: five and eight. 409 00:17:47,948 --> 00:17:50,548 Speaker 2: They're two and eight this year. They have some winnable 410 00:17:50,548 --> 00:17:51,348 Speaker 2: games coming up. 411 00:17:51,708 --> 00:17:55,668 Speaker 6: They're not going to the playoffs, but with Daniel Jones's 412 00:17:55,748 --> 00:17:56,828 Speaker 6: days likely. 413 00:17:56,788 --> 00:17:59,268 Speaker 2: Done in New York, these games matter. 414 00:17:59,308 --> 00:18:01,308 Speaker 6: And this is always tricky because if you win these games, 415 00:18:01,348 --> 00:18:03,708 Speaker 6: they're a fun ride Thanksgiving to Christmas. 416 00:18:03,708 --> 00:18:06,388 Speaker 2: It's a fun ride and like, okay, well you can actually. 417 00:18:06,108 --> 00:18:09,028 Speaker 6: Root for the Giants, but they also really hurt you 418 00:18:09,068 --> 00:18:11,308 Speaker 6: in the draft coming up, when you're clearly in the 419 00:18:11,348 --> 00:18:14,508 Speaker 6: market for a quarterback. I'm very interested to see the 420 00:18:14,508 --> 00:18:16,988 Speaker 6: conversations in the quarterbacks room, not with the other quarterbacks. 421 00:18:16,988 --> 00:18:20,188 Speaker 6: I feel like Daniel Jones to veto and in this 422 00:18:20,268 --> 00:18:22,588 Speaker 6: case Locke and they even signed Tim Boyle. The four 423 00:18:22,588 --> 00:18:24,508 Speaker 6: of them seem to be getting along, just swimmingly. Everything 424 00:18:24,508 --> 00:18:27,268 Speaker 6: they've said. It's like it's not about them, Dable communicating 425 00:18:27,308 --> 00:18:29,748 Speaker 6: with these guys to say, yeah, that's the number one. 426 00:18:29,748 --> 00:18:31,668 Speaker 6: He's probably the best player, he's healthy, but he's not 427 00:18:31,668 --> 00:18:33,468 Speaker 6: going to be the guy you've been number two and 428 00:18:33,508 --> 00:18:35,228 Speaker 6: we signed you to a free agent contract, but you're 429 00:18:35,268 --> 00:18:35,708 Speaker 6: not the guy. 430 00:18:35,988 --> 00:18:36,228 Speaker 2: Three. 431 00:18:36,268 --> 00:18:38,548 Speaker 6: We like you, you're cool, you're in and four we 432 00:18:38,548 --> 00:18:40,068 Speaker 6: don't know you, but you're in two because you're a 433 00:18:40,148 --> 00:18:43,268 Speaker 6: veteran and we got you in the room. So fascinating conversations, 434 00:18:43,668 --> 00:18:46,588 Speaker 6: all four of them young quarterbacks going in different paths, 435 00:18:46,708 --> 00:18:48,668 Speaker 6: and Tommy DeVito's got the first chance to say, you 436 00:18:48,668 --> 00:18:50,748 Speaker 6: know what, I'm an NFL quarterback in this league. 437 00:18:50,748 --> 00:18:51,508 Speaker 2: Go get it, dude. 438 00:18:51,868 --> 00:18:54,348 Speaker 9: Yeah, you know, I have a totally different take on this. 439 00:18:55,428 --> 00:18:58,268 Speaker 9: You know, just from a player's perspective. You know, you 440 00:18:58,428 --> 00:19:01,348 Speaker 9: label a player a number two and you say, hey, 441 00:19:01,428 --> 00:19:04,348 Speaker 9: you're my number two guy. You prep him like he's 442 00:19:04,548 --> 00:19:07,788 Speaker 9: your number two guy, and then you turn around and say, yep, 443 00:19:08,268 --> 00:19:10,628 Speaker 9: you're not the number two. You're actually the number three, 444 00:19:10,628 --> 00:19:11,188 Speaker 9: and you bring. 445 00:19:11,068 --> 00:19:11,548 Speaker 5: In this guy. 446 00:19:11,708 --> 00:19:13,708 Speaker 9: They can make that decision however they want. But I 447 00:19:13,748 --> 00:19:15,908 Speaker 9: think the thing that is a little disconcerting is the 448 00:19:15,908 --> 00:19:19,908 Speaker 9: fact that he's hearing that outside of the facility first 449 00:19:20,028 --> 00:19:22,828 Speaker 9: when that kind of decision is made. And so, you know, 450 00:19:22,868 --> 00:19:25,308 Speaker 9: I think about that. I think, you know, like just 451 00:19:25,948 --> 00:19:28,308 Speaker 9: tell the person, right, like, how do you develop players? 452 00:19:28,348 --> 00:19:30,508 Speaker 9: You develop players and let them know, hey, you're not 453 00:19:30,588 --> 00:19:33,028 Speaker 9: doing this well, so we need you to do exactly this. 454 00:19:33,148 --> 00:19:34,948 Speaker 9: Here's the structure, and this is what we need. But 455 00:19:34,988 --> 00:19:37,148 Speaker 9: if he wasn't meeting expectations, he should have kind of. 456 00:19:37,148 --> 00:19:37,828 Speaker 2: Known that already. 457 00:19:37,908 --> 00:19:39,948 Speaker 9: Like but he's sitting there thinking, Hey, I'm the number 458 00:19:39,948 --> 00:19:43,348 Speaker 9: two guy. You can build this false sense of Okay, 459 00:19:43,588 --> 00:19:46,388 Speaker 9: you know I've earned this spot. But this takes me 460 00:19:46,468 --> 00:19:48,788 Speaker 9: back to when I was with the Chargers and how 461 00:19:48,828 --> 00:19:51,748 Speaker 9: do you handle personnel decision? And you know, I have 462 00:19:51,828 --> 00:19:55,188 Speaker 9: the great opportunity to play for the late great coach 463 00:19:55,308 --> 00:20:00,628 Speaker 9: Marty Schottenheimer. And I remember it was December and we 464 00:20:00,628 --> 00:20:04,068 Speaker 9: were in Buffalo. We're playing at Buffalo and Sean Merriman 465 00:20:04,188 --> 00:20:08,188 Speaker 9: was coming back from suspension and I needed, you know, 466 00:20:08,388 --> 00:20:10,788 Speaker 9: I know that there was gonna be this situation going on, 467 00:20:11,188 --> 00:20:14,748 Speaker 9: and Coach Marty Schottenheimer in the tunnel, he comes up 468 00:20:14,748 --> 00:20:16,628 Speaker 9: to me. He puts both of his hands on my 469 00:20:16,708 --> 00:20:19,468 Speaker 9: shoulders and he says, you know, at Ocbar, we're gonna 470 00:20:19,508 --> 00:20:20,068 Speaker 9: have to let you go. 471 00:20:20,748 --> 00:20:21,628 Speaker 2: I start crying. 472 00:20:22,068 --> 00:20:24,828 Speaker 9: He starts crying, why am I telling you that story? 473 00:20:25,108 --> 00:20:27,628 Speaker 9: I'm telling you that story because that's how he came 474 00:20:27,868 --> 00:20:30,068 Speaker 9: man to man and told me right to my face. 475 00:20:30,268 --> 00:20:32,388 Speaker 9: He didn't have one of his guys. He didn't release 476 00:20:32,428 --> 00:20:35,468 Speaker 9: it to the media. He came to me first and 477 00:20:35,588 --> 00:20:37,948 Speaker 9: told me, and I'm like, you know what, that's leadership. 478 00:20:37,988 --> 00:20:40,308 Speaker 9: That's what people respect in the locker room. And when 479 00:20:40,308 --> 00:20:42,428 Speaker 9: people see that in the locker room, they go, man, 480 00:20:42,788 --> 00:20:45,028 Speaker 9: I can respect that. He didn't go out outside of 481 00:20:45,028 --> 00:20:48,068 Speaker 9: the facility. He did it inside of the facility before 482 00:20:48,108 --> 00:20:50,468 Speaker 9: it was ever released. So I'm just saying, like, you know, 483 00:20:50,508 --> 00:20:53,228 Speaker 9: and that season too, by the way, Chargers fourteen and two, 484 00:20:53,428 --> 00:20:56,428 Speaker 9: that just speaks to the type of leadership.

Akbar. 487 00:21:00,908 --> 00:21:02,868 Speaker 4: You know, I think of I went last night and 488 00:21:02,868 --> 00:21:05,148 Speaker 4: I tried to figure out why this whole thing happened 489 00:21:05,148 --> 00:21:07,668 Speaker 4: where they promoted Tommy DeVito, and so. 490 00:21:07,588 --> 00:21:10,028 Speaker 5: I looked up the interview with Brian Dabon. 491 00:21:10,108 --> 00:21:12,708 Speaker 4: He said simply that they needed a spark and because 492 00:21:12,748 --> 00:21:15,028 Speaker 4: of the history with Tommy DeVito, that they knew that 493 00:21:15,068 --> 00:21:16,308 Speaker 4: he could create that spark. 494 00:21:17,068 --> 00:21:18,828 Speaker 5: I don't know if anybody knows this at the table. 495 00:21:18,868 --> 00:21:20,868 Speaker 4: I don't know if anybody knows this with the GMFU fan, 496 00:21:20,948 --> 00:21:24,148 Speaker 4: But I'm an ego scout and one of the first 497 00:21:24,188 --> 00:21:25,508 Speaker 4: things we've learned scout for. 498 00:21:25,468 --> 00:21:28,628 Speaker 3: The Eagles and Eagle Scout yeah yeah, boy scouts the 499 00:21:28,668 --> 00:21:29,148 Speaker 3: highest rank. 500 00:21:29,268 --> 00:21:30,388 Speaker 5: Yeah yeah, highest rank. 501 00:21:30,508 --> 00:21:32,308 Speaker 4: So one of the first things that we learn as 502 00:21:32,348 --> 00:21:34,068 Speaker 4: an ego scout is how to how to build a 503 00:21:34,108 --> 00:21:36,108 Speaker 4: fire and how to do it safely. And one of 504 00:21:36,148 --> 00:21:38,788 Speaker 4: the first things you learn is wherever you decide to 505 00:21:39,148 --> 00:21:41,268 Speaker 4: pick a fire, that you need to build a barrier. 506 00:21:41,308 --> 00:21:43,828 Speaker 4: That you have to enclose this thing, whether that you 507 00:21:43,908 --> 00:21:46,588 Speaker 4: put rocks around it or you diggle hole to ensure 508 00:21:46,628 --> 00:21:49,228 Speaker 4: that when you like this fire, that it doesn't go 509 00:21:49,468 --> 00:21:52,828 Speaker 4: everywhere right now, based on what I heard as far 510 00:21:52,828 --> 00:21:57,308 Speaker 4: as the reactions to the benching of Danny Dimes, you know, 511 00:21:57,508 --> 00:22:01,228 Speaker 4: you talk about Dexter Lawrence, his remarks, Drew Locke, how 512 00:22:01,268 --> 00:22:04,388 Speaker 4: he feels you don't have an enclosed area right now, 513 00:22:04,588 --> 00:22:08,188 Speaker 4: New York. So be careful when you implement this spark 514 00:22:08,228 --> 00:22:10,548 Speaker 4: in Tommy DeVito, that you don't like this thing and 515 00:22:10,588 --> 00:22:13,508 Speaker 4: you have kindling everywhere in the forest, that this thing 516 00:22:13,588 --> 00:22:14,748 Speaker 4: lights up and this whole. 517 00:22:14,588 --> 00:22:15,748 Speaker 5: Thing comes crashing down. 518 00:22:15,868 --> 00:22:18,148 Speaker 4: Just look next door at the New York Jets that 519 00:22:18,148 --> 00:22:21,028 Speaker 4: we're happy what's happening over there, Be very very careful 520 00:22:21,348 --> 00:22:23,988 Speaker 4: I know you guys are trying to create this this 521 00:22:24,108 --> 00:22:27,308 Speaker 4: excitement and and like how I quote Brian Dave all 522 00:22:27,508 --> 00:22:30,788 Speaker 4: a spark. But from my experience, if you don't have 523 00:22:30,908 --> 00:22:34,348 Speaker 4: things enclosed, and you don't have things have things in 524 00:22:34,388 --> 00:22:37,028 Speaker 4: place to ensure that this thing when it lights that 525 00:22:37,068 --> 00:22:40,228 Speaker 4: it's a beautiful bonfire that everybody can feel safe around, 526 00:22:40,548 --> 00:22:43,948 Speaker 4: you better make sure that things are all all safe 527 00:22:44,028 --> 00:22:46,308 Speaker 4: or none and and and based on the reactions from 528 00:22:46,308 --> 00:22:47,988 Speaker 4: a lot of people in that in that locker room, 529 00:22:48,188 --> 00:22:51,068 Speaker 4: it doesn't it doesn't seem like they have they have 530 00:22:51,188 --> 00:22:52,868 Speaker 4: everything in the same area wildfire. 531 00:22:54,148 --> 00:22:56,668 Speaker 8: Huge respect for an Eagle scout. David Montgomery from the Lions, 532 00:22:56,748 --> 00:22:59,548 Speaker 8: also an Eagle scout. But yeah, to Jamie's points, I 533 00:22:59,548 --> 00:23:02,068 Speaker 8: don't think Eagles scouts are worried about Tommy DeVito. 534 00:23:02,948 --> 00:23:04,028 Speaker 2: Michael, I'm gonna throw. 535 00:23:03,868 --> 00:23:08,508 Speaker 8: This out if his so you think it, maybe Drew 536 00:23:08,508 --> 00:23:10,028 Speaker 8: Locke was going to start, and he's played some good 537 00:23:10,068 --> 00:23:13,868 Speaker 8: football here and there. If Tommy DeVito's name was Tom Smith, 538 00:23:13,988 --> 00:23:14,948 Speaker 8: is he getting this job? 539 00:23:15,588 --> 00:23:16,908 Speaker 2: If he did not have the. 540 00:23:16,868 --> 00:23:19,148 Speaker 8: Same name as a good fella's character was not doing 541 00:23:19,188 --> 00:23:21,988 Speaker 8: sketches with Keegan Michael Key last year with not his 542 00:23:22,068 --> 00:23:25,308 Speaker 8: mother's famous chicken cutlets. Is it any part of that, 543 00:23:25,428 --> 00:23:28,348 Speaker 8: then just hear me out. The Giants are terrible. They 544 00:23:28,348 --> 00:23:31,868 Speaker 8: have almost no goodwill whatsoever. Their next game is at home. 545 00:23:32,468 --> 00:23:35,108 Speaker 8: Three out of the next four at home. Tommy DeVito 546 00:23:35,188 --> 00:23:37,428 Speaker 8: is a hero to a large section of the fan base. 547 00:23:37,748 --> 00:23:40,188 Speaker 8: He's a guy who made some great memories last year, 548 00:23:40,508 --> 00:23:41,668 Speaker 8: who created. 549 00:23:41,228 --> 00:23:43,548 Speaker 2: His own gesture the fans are doing in the stands. 550 00:23:44,068 --> 00:23:46,588 Speaker 8: Is this strictly a football decision, because I don't even 551 00:23:46,668 --> 00:23:48,828 Speaker 8: care if it's not. I see where the Giants are going. 552 00:23:48,948 --> 00:23:52,628 Speaker 8: If they are that, we are almost always terrible at home. 553 00:23:52,708 --> 00:23:53,948 Speaker 2: The fans are so miserable. 554 00:23:54,228 --> 00:23:56,668 Speaker 8: Why not let them have a happy holiday season instead 555 00:23:56,668 --> 00:23:59,028 Speaker 8: of Drew Locke, a one year guy who is not 556 00:23:59,108 --> 00:24:01,708 Speaker 8: a New York Giant to his core. Let's put in 557 00:24:01,748 --> 00:24:04,308 Speaker 8: this kid from Jersey and everybody can have a black 558 00:24:04,468 --> 00:24:06,148 Speaker 8: and we can show that and you know what, maybe 559 00:24:06,148 --> 00:24:06,908 Speaker 8: he does catch. 560 00:24:06,788 --> 00:24:08,868 Speaker 2: Lightning a bottle and do some winning. We can show 561 00:24:08,868 --> 00:24:11,428 Speaker 2: his agent that can jump up and down. There's the thing, 562 00:24:11,508 --> 00:24:12,428 Speaker 2: there's a little bit of a. 563 00:24:12,348 --> 00:24:14,588 Speaker 8: Magic if you put the stat side by side with 564 00:24:14,668 --> 00:24:15,788 Speaker 8: Locke and DeVito. 565 00:24:16,188 --> 00:24:17,508 Speaker 2: Tovito's actually kind of better too. 566 00:24:17,628 --> 00:24:19,348 Speaker 8: I know, we have a higher opinion of Drew Lockes 567 00:24:19,428 --> 00:24:21,228 Speaker 8: is where he was drafted, and he seems like a 568 00:24:21,228 --> 00:24:23,508 Speaker 8: really good guy, and every time he talks it seems like, oh. 569 00:24:23,428 --> 00:24:26,388 Speaker 2: I like Drew Locke. That's not much to like there. 570 00:24:26,628 --> 00:24:28,068 Speaker 2: So is it? 571 00:24:28,188 --> 00:24:28,388 Speaker 12: That? 572 00:24:28,668 --> 00:24:28,828 Speaker 5: Is it? 573 00:24:28,908 --> 00:24:29,668 Speaker 2: The personality? 574 00:24:29,828 --> 00:24:29,988 Speaker 9: Is it? 575 00:24:30,068 --> 00:24:30,988 Speaker 2: All of that stuff. 576 00:24:31,028 --> 00:24:33,668 Speaker 8: I'm not hearing jokes about Tommy DeVito, the throwing Jay 577 00:24:33,708 --> 00:24:35,588 Speaker 8: Leno down a hill at the Hampton in I don't 578 00:24:35,628 --> 00:24:36,428 Speaker 8: need to hear any of that. 579 00:24:36,828 --> 00:24:38,148 Speaker 2: But I know you know where I'm going. 580 00:24:38,588 --> 00:24:41,988 Speaker 8: And I think there's a little something extra with Tommy 581 00:24:42,068 --> 00:24:45,428 Speaker 8: DeVito that if the giants behind closed doors said put 582 00:24:45,428 --> 00:24:48,228 Speaker 8: the Vito in, I get it. What else you gonna 583 00:24:48,228 --> 00:24:50,348 Speaker 8: put in two and eight? Let him play interesting? 584 00:24:50,708 --> 00:24:53,148 Speaker 6: I obviously don't think this is like a publicity stunt, obviously, 585 00:24:53,148 --> 00:24:55,708 Speaker 6: but to your point, there was magic there last year, 586 00:24:55,748 --> 00:24:59,268 Speaker 6: and those same guys who lined up with him did 587 00:24:59,308 --> 00:25:00,628 Speaker 6: have that magic with him. 588 00:25:00,668 --> 00:25:02,468 Speaker 2: So maybe that's what the spark is. 589 00:25:02,508 --> 00:25:04,268 Speaker 6: And I'll go back to Jamie on this, but it's 590 00:25:04,268 --> 00:25:07,588 Speaker 6: like you were in Munich. Drew lock has been the 591 00:25:07,628 --> 00:25:09,828 Speaker 6: number two the whole way through, and Davido's been the 592 00:25:09,908 --> 00:25:12,668 Speaker 6: number three. This is pretty out of character for a 593 00:25:12,708 --> 00:25:14,428 Speaker 6: team to say, actually, you know what we're going with 594 00:25:14,428 --> 00:25:15,468 Speaker 6: the third guy, not the second. 595 00:25:15,548 --> 00:25:18,748 Speaker 3: Yeah, there's there's real life execution of Daniel Johnes sitting 596 00:25:18,788 --> 00:25:20,708 Speaker 3: on the bench. He has to stand up and warm up. 597 00:25:20,748 --> 00:25:22,708 Speaker 3: Who is the guy that he is throwing two to 598 00:25:22,788 --> 00:25:24,668 Speaker 3: make sure that that guy is warmed up as well. 599 00:25:25,028 --> 00:25:27,388 Speaker 3: It was Drew Locke the entire time, the entire game, 600 00:25:27,508 --> 00:25:29,868 Speaker 3: Danny Tommy DeVito is standing there with his hands and 601 00:25:29,868 --> 00:25:32,188 Speaker 3: that little puffer as a quarterback with this thing over 602 00:25:32,268 --> 00:25:33,548 Speaker 3: his jersey and his pads on. 603 00:25:33,828 --> 00:25:35,188 Speaker 2: He was the emergency third. 604 00:25:35,268 --> 00:25:37,988 Speaker 3: He was not available until Drew Locke even went down. 605 00:25:38,068 --> 00:25:40,908 Speaker 3: So the actual mindset of a QB two saying I 606 00:25:40,988 --> 00:25:42,988 Speaker 3: prepare like I'm a starter, and that's why if a 607 00:25:42,988 --> 00:25:45,988 Speaker 3: guy gets thrown into action, they succeed. This is why 608 00:25:46,028 --> 00:25:47,668 Speaker 3: you listen some one as a QB two. I'd be 609 00:25:47,668 --> 00:25:49,788 Speaker 3: pissed off if I was Drew Locke. I also get 610 00:25:49,828 --> 00:25:51,828 Speaker 3: it if the Giants why they went with Tommy DeVito. 611 00:25:51,828 --> 00:25:54,708 Speaker 3: To Kyle's point or at anybody's point, I see both sides, 612 00:25:54,708 --> 00:25:56,068 Speaker 3: all right, But Drew Lock, we see you. 613 00:25:55,948 --> 00:25:56,708 Speaker 5: You are a good guy. 614 00:25:56,748 --> 00:25:58,668 Speaker 3: We like when you talk.

We're 663 00:27:59,188 --> 00:28:01,668 Speaker 11: willing to give up our time, a lot of time spent, 664 00:28:01,948 --> 00:28:04,388 Speaker 11: less time spent with our families. But we got a 665 00:28:04,508 --> 00:28:07,668 Speaker 11: special play, special city in Detroit, uh and then just 666 00:28:07,708 --> 00:28:08,588 Speaker 11: special players. 667 00:28:08,588 --> 00:28:11,828 Speaker 12: Man, the people around here make us sacrifice, you. 668 00:28:11,788 --> 00:28:13,588 Speaker 9: Know, Scotty, I just got to take this time to 669 00:28:13,628 --> 00:28:17,508 Speaker 9: give you your flowers. Man, you know, your journey has 670 00:28:17,548 --> 00:28:19,828 Speaker 9: just been absolutely amazing. You and I were both in 671 00:28:20,308 --> 00:28:23,348 Speaker 9: Oakland with the Raiders back in two thousand and three, 672 00:28:24,028 --> 00:28:26,948 Speaker 9: and just to see how you've, you know, impressively just 673 00:28:27,348 --> 00:28:30,628 Speaker 9: have developed these running backs, you know, over your coaching career, 674 00:28:30,828 --> 00:28:33,508 Speaker 9: from your time in Indianapolis to your time now. 675 00:28:33,868 --> 00:28:36,268 Speaker 2: So let's go back to last week. You know, what 676 00:28:36,348 --> 00:28:37,148 Speaker 2: was it like on the. 677 00:28:37,068 --> 00:28:42,348 Speaker 9: Sideline when you're scoring I mean on seven seven straight possessions. 678 00:28:42,388 --> 00:28:44,868 Speaker 9: I mean, like that's got to be crazy. Like were 679 00:28:44,908 --> 00:28:46,668 Speaker 9: you were? You guys were just out of your mind 680 00:28:46,668 --> 00:28:48,548 Speaker 9: on the sideline, like, Yo, this thing is clicking. 681 00:28:49,868 --> 00:28:50,748 Speaker 12: Yeah, I mean we were. 682 00:28:50,828 --> 00:28:52,188 Speaker 11: You know, first of all, we were coming off a 683 00:28:52,228 --> 00:28:54,028 Speaker 11: game where we didn't feel like we had did our best, 684 00:28:54,108 --> 00:28:55,708 Speaker 11: you know, playing as simple, we felt like we could 685 00:28:55,708 --> 00:28:57,188 Speaker 11: have played a lot better offensively. 686 00:28:57,948 --> 00:28:58,988 Speaker 12: But in practice we. 687 00:28:59,108 --> 00:29:01,468 Speaker 11: Noticed that, you know, we took it to another level 688 00:29:01,508 --> 00:29:04,748 Speaker 11: in practice last week. I really thought the schematically and 689 00:29:04,788 --> 00:29:06,508 Speaker 11: you know, and just the detail and the hustle that 690 00:29:06,508 --> 00:29:09,188 Speaker 11: our guys gave last week in practice. We kind of 691 00:29:09,188 --> 00:29:10,708 Speaker 11: felt like we were going to have a big day 692 00:29:10,748 --> 00:29:13,468 Speaker 11: with nothing and nobody's going to turn into a square 693 00:29:13,468 --> 00:29:15,148 Speaker 11: every time you touch it. But it was very, very 694 00:29:15,188 --> 00:29:16,748 Speaker 11: impressive by our guys all week. 695 00:29:17,228 --> 00:29:19,348 Speaker 3: I love the video Scotti that we rolled in of 696 00:29:19,428 --> 00:29:22,348 Speaker 3: you before the interview and the fact that you so 697 00:29:22,548 --> 00:29:25,668 Speaker 3: authentically on the sideline before the game say I want 698 00:29:25,668 --> 00:29:27,948 Speaker 3: to be a fan tonight. Like you've done your work 699 00:29:28,108 --> 00:29:30,388 Speaker 3: Monday through Saturday. Now you get to sit back and 700 00:29:30,428 --> 00:29:33,628 Speaker 3: watch what you have developed into the top scoring offense 701 00:29:33,668 --> 00:29:35,948 Speaker 3: in the NFL. And a lot of that has to 702 00:29:35,948 --> 00:29:40,628 Speaker 3: do with this stunningly lethal two headed monster in Jamier 703 00:29:40,668 --> 00:29:43,428 Speaker 3: Gibbs and David Montgomery. How fun has it been to 704 00:29:43,468 --> 00:29:45,348 Speaker 3: coach these two up and how would you get them 705 00:29:45,348 --> 00:29:47,748 Speaker 3: to buy into this type of system? 706 00:29:48,268 --> 00:29:50,148 Speaker 11: You know, first things first, we had to build a 707 00:29:50,188 --> 00:29:53,388 Speaker 11: relationship between each of us all together, and just making 708 00:29:53,388 --> 00:29:54,788 Speaker 11: sure that all of them know that I had their 709 00:29:54,828 --> 00:29:58,228 Speaker 11: best interests, you know, going forward, both of them, just 710 00:29:58,268 --> 00:30:00,508 Speaker 11: making sure that we understand that. But the thing that 711 00:30:00,548 --> 00:30:02,828 Speaker 11: I'm most impressed about these guys, both of them have 712 00:30:02,948 --> 00:30:04,148 Speaker 11: ridiculous football IQ. 713 00:30:04,988 --> 00:30:07,228 Speaker 12: So we're teaching them like we would teach a quarterback. 714 00:30:07,348 --> 00:30:09,628 Speaker 11: And when you can teach guys like that, they see 715 00:30:09,628 --> 00:30:12,308 Speaker 11: the second level, they see the third level. The game 716 00:30:12,388 --> 00:30:15,708 Speaker 11: slows down protection wise, I'm just so impressed with where 717 00:30:15,748 --> 00:30:18,788 Speaker 11: Jamiri is from, just like I said FBI. And then 718 00:30:19,028 --> 00:30:22,228 Speaker 11: the ability to teach and coach in the room that 719 00:30:22,348 --> 00:30:24,748 Speaker 11: David has on the things that we brought to him 720 00:30:24,748 --> 00:30:27,188 Speaker 11: and we continue to let him grow in it just 721 00:30:27,228 --> 00:30:29,948 Speaker 11: makes it a duo that's just unbelievable. 722 00:30:29,948 --> 00:30:30,868 Speaker 12: I Mean, people don't know. 723 00:30:30,868 --> 00:30:33,748 Speaker 11: That part of it, but the football IQ is just 724 00:30:33,828 --> 00:30:35,108 Speaker 11: out of the roof in that room. 725 00:30:35,468 --> 00:30:38,788 Speaker 4: Coach speaking about coaches, man your head coach, Coach Dan Campbell, 726 00:30:38,828 --> 00:30:41,108 Speaker 4: he is one of my favorite human beings of all time. 727 00:30:41,228 --> 00:30:42,708 Speaker 4: He was with me when I was down in New 728 00:30:42,828 --> 00:30:46,028 Speaker 4: Orleans from twenty seventeen to twenty nineteen, and I was 729 00:30:46,028 --> 00:30:48,868 Speaker 4: going through some hard times down there with the politics 730 00:30:48,908 --> 00:30:50,948 Speaker 4: of NFL, and he would come over to me and 731 00:30:50,988 --> 00:30:53,108 Speaker 4: he'd always give me some word of you know, some 732 00:30:53,228 --> 00:30:56,028 Speaker 4: encouraging words and tell me to always believe in myself. 733 00:30:56,028 --> 00:30:57,908 Speaker 4: And I see a lot of the stuff that he's 734 00:30:57,948 --> 00:30:59,988 Speaker 4: doing with his players and how he gets emotional, how 735 00:30:59,988 --> 00:31:02,548 Speaker 4: he really loves his guys, and how he feels when 736 00:31:02,548 --> 00:31:04,508 Speaker 4: they lose, he lets them down. 737 00:31:04,708 --> 00:31:06,068 Speaker 5: I know you've been coaching. 738 00:31:05,708 --> 00:31:08,188 Speaker 2: For so long, but what's the difference with coach. 739 00:31:08,028 --> 00:31:10,508 Speaker 4: Dan Campbell that you've seen that sets him apart from 740 00:31:10,508 --> 00:31:11,868 Speaker 4: any other coach that you coach with. 741 00:31:12,828 --> 00:31:13,028 Speaker 12: Yeah. 742 00:31:13,108 --> 00:31:15,988 Speaker 11: So, first of all, like you know, he's amazing. I've 743 00:31:16,068 --> 00:31:18,428 Speaker 11: learned so much from him since I've been here. I've 744 00:31:18,468 --> 00:31:22,468 Speaker 11: grown so much in two years. The authenticity that he 745 00:31:22,588 --> 00:31:25,868 Speaker 11: has it really really works, you know. And then also 746 00:31:25,948 --> 00:31:28,148 Speaker 11: showing himself to be vulnerable. I think that's one of 747 00:31:28,188 --> 00:31:30,188 Speaker 11: the things that I've learned the most since I've gotten here. 748 00:31:30,588 --> 00:31:34,068 Speaker 11: Completely okay to be transparent and show you vulnerabilities. Guys 749 00:31:34,148 --> 00:31:36,508 Speaker 11: really see that and they buy into it. And at 750 00:31:36,548 --> 00:31:38,108 Speaker 11: the end of the day, man, we're all trying to 751 00:31:38,108 --> 00:31:41,148 Speaker 11: get better. So if he brings us the information that's 752 00:31:41,188 --> 00:31:43,268 Speaker 11: going to give us better, you can't get anyr feelings 753 00:31:43,268 --> 00:31:46,348 Speaker 11: about that. But also he does not ride the ebb 754 00:31:46,388 --> 00:31:48,828 Speaker 11: and flows of good and bad. You're getting the same 755 00:31:48,828 --> 00:31:50,708 Speaker 11: guy every single day. Just like you said, Man, we 756 00:31:50,788 --> 00:31:52,668 Speaker 11: can have a great game, we can have a bad game. 757 00:31:52,668 --> 00:31:54,628 Speaker 11: He's gonna have something encouraging to say to you. We 758 00:31:54,708 --> 00:31:57,228 Speaker 11: really appreciate our head coach, and that juice and energy 759 00:31:57,268 --> 00:31:58,748 Speaker 11: runs all through our program. 760 00:31:59,108 --> 00:32:00,268 Speaker 12: I need to have that's my voice. 761 00:32:00,268 --> 00:32:05,628 Speaker 6: Mess Yeah, I got a question for you. 762 00:32:05,628 --> 00:32:08,148 Speaker 7: You were at Duke in the late nineties, in the 763 00:32:08,188 --> 00:32:11,188 Speaker 7: glory years of Duke basketball, and then you were with 764 00:32:11,268 --> 00:32:14,868 Speaker 7: the Broncos in the early two thousands with Kyle Shanahang 765 00:32:15,548 --> 00:32:18,188 Speaker 7: Mike Shanahan bigger presence overall. 766 00:32:18,308 --> 00:32:22,308 Speaker 2: Coach K or Mike Shanahan take us there as a coach. 767 00:32:22,108 --> 00:32:24,148 Speaker 6: Who if you learn more from this watching from afar 768 00:32:24,228 --> 00:32:25,748 Speaker 6: and then obviously being in the room. 769 00:32:26,268 --> 00:32:28,668 Speaker 11: Come on, man, I got I got Duke Blue rolling 770 00:32:28,748 --> 00:32:32,348 Speaker 11: through me.

He did grow me in this business and 777 00:32:48,828 --> 00:32:51,228 Speaker 11: he's the guy who really made me responsible for wanting 778 00:32:51,228 --> 00:32:51,788 Speaker 11: to be a coach. 779 00:32:52,268 --> 00:32:54,028 Speaker 2: Wow, that's awesome, stunning. 780 00:32:54,188 --> 00:32:56,868 Speaker 3: There is an aura around Coach K and I'm sure 781 00:32:56,908 --> 00:32:59,908 Speaker 3: a lot of coaches want to have that aura.
