Welcome to 11 00:00:55,868 --> 00:00:57,708 Speaker 1: Good Morning Football because on of my old trapper Beef 12 00:00:57,748 --> 00:01:00,348 Speaker 1: Jerky live in New York City. It's Monday of a 13 00:01:00,428 --> 00:01:03,548 Speaker 1: new year. Happy twenty twenty three, everybody. I'm Jamie ARTDLDS, 14 00:01:03,548 --> 00:01:07,628 Speaker 1: Peter Schrager, Jason mccordy, Shahara. Any resolutions for you this year? 15 00:01:07,708 --> 00:01:12,388 Speaker 1: My friends? Resolutions? Nothing? I haven't created anything like how 16 00:01:12,388 --> 00:01:15,108 Speaker 1: about win a playoff game? Okay, a team it's a 17 00:01:15,148 --> 00:01:17,708 Speaker 1: team oriented resolution, you too. We want to see anything 18 00:01:17,748 --> 00:01:20,508 Speaker 1: up for gonna be held accountable on live television. Four 19 00:01:20,548 --> 00:01:22,108 Speaker 1: for the rest of the year. We did on Friday. 20 00:01:22,148 --> 00:01:25,748 Speaker 1: You didn't come to work. I was come to work 21 00:01:25,868 --> 00:01:28,708 Speaker 1: breaking up a dance move. We saw what you call that? 22 00:01:28,748 --> 00:01:32,348 Speaker 1: That was? That was the way I think that video. Yeah, 23 00:01:32,388 --> 00:01:34,668 Speaker 1: you're right, you got to continue it. No, No, he 24 00:01:34,708 --> 00:01:37,228 Speaker 1: doesn't want to continue it now, Yeah, exactly all right, 25 00:01:37,308 --> 00:01:40,548 Speaker 1: let's got to lead block. I don't need to do moves. 26 00:01:40,588 --> 00:01:43,668 Speaker 1: Let's talk a little bit of football. Bills have the 27 00:01:43,668 --> 00:01:47,708 Speaker 1: easiest path a win tonight and in Week eighteen against 28 00:01:47,748 --> 00:01:50,948 Speaker 1: the Patriots, and the whole thing is theirs week off 29 00:01:51,228 --> 00:01:53,908 Speaker 1: home field by you name it, they got it. If 30 00:01:53,908 --> 00:01:57,348 Speaker 1: Buffalo loses tonight, the door opens up for the Kansas 31 00:01:57,388 --> 00:01:59,668 Speaker 1: City Chiefs, who would just need a win against the 32 00:01:59,748 --> 00:02:02,628 Speaker 1: Raiders again. That game is on Saturday night. To close 33 00:02:02,628 --> 00:02:05,148 Speaker 1: out the season. Bengals need to win in both of 34 00:02:05,188 --> 00:02:08,348 Speaker 1: their final dames and some help from Kansas City for 35 00:02:08,428 --> 00:02:10,948 Speaker 1: all this to work for Cincinnati. That's a lot. It's 36 00:02:10,988 --> 00:02:12,388 Speaker 1: a lot. But the af there's been a lock one 37 00:02:12,388 --> 00:02:14,188 Speaker 1: on the AFC all season long, so it kind of 38 00:02:14,228 --> 00:02:15,868 Speaker 1: makes sense that this is what it boils down to 39 00:02:16,228 --> 00:02:20,148 Speaker 1: in Week eighteen. Context, Peter, what will we have our 40 00:02:20,188 --> 00:02:22,748 Speaker 1: eyes on tonight? Because as we just mentioned a lot 41 00:02:22,788 --> 00:02:24,788 Speaker 1: of it hangs in the balance tonight. What are we 42 00:02:24,828 --> 00:02:28,028 Speaker 1: going to look at. We've had this amazing trifecta of 43 00:02:28,108 --> 00:02:30,148 Speaker 1: quarterbacks in the AFC, and I'll throw Herbert in there 44 00:02:30,148 --> 00:02:33,148 Speaker 1: because he's been awesome too. But it's been Burrow, Mahomes 45 00:02:33,148 --> 00:02:36,748 Speaker 1: and Alan Burrow, Mahomes and Alan. Now Burrow played Mahomes, 46 00:02:36,908 --> 00:02:42,228 Speaker 1: Mahomes won Okay, Mahomes played Alan Alan won Okay for 47 00:02:42,268 --> 00:02:44,588 Speaker 1: the first time in their careers and for the first 48 00:02:44,628 --> 00:02:47,868 Speaker 1: time the season. Obviously, we're getting Alan versus Burrow, and 49 00:02:47,948 --> 00:02:50,548 Speaker 1: it's this late in the season, in Monday night football 50 00:02:50,548 --> 00:02:54,348 Speaker 1: with huge implications. I got this stat yesterday. I asked 51 00:02:54,348 --> 00:02:58,148 Speaker 1: our excellent researcher Rich Goldberg to double check it. This 52 00:02:58,228 --> 00:03:03,028 Speaker 1: is the most combined touchdowns in an NFL game. Because 53 00:03:03,108 --> 00:03:05,468 Speaker 1: they're playing so late in the sea and they're having 54 00:03:05,508 --> 00:03:08,908 Speaker 1: such good seasons, Josh Allen, Joe Burrow, They're gonna break obviously, 55 00:03:08,988 --> 00:03:11,748 Speaker 1: Tannehill and Aaron Rodgers because of this, and I just 56 00:03:11,788 --> 00:03:13,868 Speaker 1: can't wait to see who this wins. This quarterback showed out. 57 00:03:13,868 --> 00:03:15,388 Speaker 1: I think these two are gonna be playing in big 58 00:03:15,428 --> 00:03:18,028 Speaker 1: games for the rest of their career. I think neither 59 00:03:18,108 --> 00:03:20,108 Speaker 1: franchise is ever gonna let either one of these guys go. 60 00:03:20,428 --> 00:03:22,148 Speaker 1: You know, I know Tom Brady plays for a different team. 61 00:03:22,148 --> 00:03:24,108 Speaker 1: I'm just saying in the near future, we're gonna be 62 00:03:24,108 --> 00:03:27,188 Speaker 1: seeing Burrow under center for the Bengals out our center 63 00:03:27,188 --> 00:03:29,828 Speaker 1: for the Bills. And this is for all the marvels. 64 00:03:29,868 --> 00:03:33,148 Speaker 1: And if the Bills lose this game, things get really, 65 00:03:33,268 --> 00:03:35,908 Speaker 1: really difficult for Buffalo. I don't want to see them 66 00:03:35,948 --> 00:03:39,308 Speaker 1: have to play a game against either the Steelers or 67 00:03:39,308 --> 00:03:41,788 Speaker 1: the Dolphins and the playoffs and then have to go 68 00:03:41,828 --> 00:03:44,148 Speaker 1: on the road in the AFC championship game. If you're 69 00:03:44,148 --> 00:03:46,708 Speaker 1: a Bills fan, and if you're the Bengals, well you 70 00:03:46,708 --> 00:03:48,948 Speaker 1: could secure that AFC North title and you've got a 71 00:03:48,988 --> 00:03:51,308 Speaker 1: home playoff game. And here away we go, two great 72 00:03:51,348 --> 00:03:55,548 Speaker 1: young quarterbacks on Monday Night Football with huge implications in 73 00:03:55,748 --> 00:03:59,028 Speaker 1: January or the regular season. This might be the coolest 74 00:03:59,188 --> 00:04:02,228 Speaker 1: Week seventeen game that we have seen that was put 75 00:04:02,268 --> 00:04:06,508 Speaker 1: on the schedule beforehand between two non divisional opponents. I'm 76 00:04:06,548 --> 00:04:08,708 Speaker 1: here for the fireworks. I think they both show up 77 00:04:08,868 --> 00:04:11,068 Speaker 1: and I think they both play big. If I'm Buffalo, 78 00:04:11,508 --> 00:04:12,988 Speaker 1: I know it's tough. I know you're on the road 79 00:04:13,028 --> 00:04:15,308 Speaker 1: the whole thing. Really can't lose this game. I don't 80 00:04:15,348 --> 00:04:17,268 Speaker 1: want to have to go back into Arrowhead. I don't. 81 00:04:17,348 --> 00:04:19,388 Speaker 1: I don't want to have to go into Cincinnati for 82 00:04:19,428 --> 00:04:21,868 Speaker 1: god forsaken reasons. If the Chiefs somehow losing, we gonna 83 00:04:21,868 --> 00:04:24,428 Speaker 1: go back like, take care of business, win tonight. I 84 00:04:24,468 --> 00:04:27,228 Speaker 1: love that full screen. Ryan Tannehill was on that full screen. 85 00:04:27,868 --> 00:04:31,108 Speaker 1: Burrow and Allen are great, and everybody's gonna be Washington tonight. 86 00:04:31,348 --> 00:04:34,028 Speaker 1: And because of that, I want to look at Leslie 87 00:04:33,668 --> 00:04:36,588 Speaker 1: Frazier and little Anna Romo. I want to see what 88 00:04:36,748 --> 00:04:39,428 Speaker 1: these guys are drawn up and how they're gonna attack 89 00:04:39,508 --> 00:04:42,708 Speaker 1: these quarterbacks and get after them. Because with great quarterback play, 90 00:04:42,908 --> 00:04:46,108 Speaker 1: there's defenses out there that are opportunistic and want to 91 00:04:46,148 --> 00:04:48,348 Speaker 1: make plays. You look at this Bengals defense and they 92 00:04:48,388 --> 00:04:51,068 Speaker 1: don't rank at the top statistically, they're more middle of 93 00:04:51,148 --> 00:04:53,108 Speaker 1: the pack. But you look at the last few weeks. 94 00:04:53,108 --> 00:04:55,028 Speaker 1: They're playing the Patriots, they come up with a huge 95 00:04:55,028 --> 00:04:57,948 Speaker 1: turnover lay in that game to secure the win. They're 96 00:04:57,948 --> 00:05:00,188 Speaker 1: playing the Buccaneers and it was just like, my goodness, 97 00:05:00,228 --> 00:05:02,588 Speaker 1: they're beating up on them. The defense comes up with 98 00:05:02,748 --> 00:05:05,748 Speaker 1: turnover after turnover and it's second, have to give Joe 99 00:05:05,788 --> 00:05:08,308 Speaker 1: Burrow on the offense the opportunity to come back in 100 00:05:08,388 --> 00:05:11,468 Speaker 1: that game. Both of these defensive coordinators names have been 101 00:05:11,508 --> 00:05:14,788 Speaker 1: mentioned as potential with head coaches with everything that they've 102 00:05:14,828 --> 00:05:16,548 Speaker 1: been able to draw up and how they've been able 103 00:05:16,708 --> 00:05:19,228 Speaker 1: to lead their units. Buffalo, on the other hand, has 104 00:05:19,268 --> 00:05:21,628 Speaker 1: been one of the best defenses in the league this 105 00:05:21,908 --> 00:05:25,628 Speaker 1: entire season points against taking a ball away. They've lost 106 00:05:25,708 --> 00:05:28,308 Speaker 1: Von Miller, Jenevieus White wasn't out there for a good 107 00:05:28,308 --> 00:05:30,828 Speaker 1: amount of the season. He's now back. These guys have 108 00:05:30,948 --> 00:05:33,428 Speaker 1: found a way through it all to continue to be 109 00:05:33,508 --> 00:05:35,548 Speaker 1: at the top of the league. And both of these 110 00:05:35,588 --> 00:05:38,628 Speaker 1: defensive coordinators are great at what they do. So for 111 00:05:38,708 --> 00:05:40,708 Speaker 1: me tonight, I want to watch you guys know I'm 112 00:05:40,708 --> 00:05:43,228 Speaker 1: a defensive guy. I want to watch what they draw up. 113 00:05:43,348 --> 00:05:46,228 Speaker 1: Do they blitz these guys, do they sit back in coverage? 114 00:05:46,268 --> 00:05:48,708 Speaker 1: I want to see how they go about attacking both 115 00:05:48,708 --> 00:05:51,108 Speaker 1: of these young quarterbacks who are so good at what 116 00:05:51,148 --> 00:05:53,308 Speaker 1: they do. Yeah, both DEFENSEI quarters hoping they could get 117 00:05:53,348 --> 00:05:55,308 Speaker 1: pressure with just force so they don't hold out about 118 00:05:55,308 --> 00:05:58,068 Speaker 1: suppose anybody put anybody in one on one. I feel 119 00:05:58,068 --> 00:06:00,468 Speaker 1: like these matchups like we always focus on the quarterbacks, 120 00:06:00,468 --> 00:06:02,868 Speaker 1: and when I was playing, I'd always be like, they're 121 00:06:02,908 --> 00:06:05,028 Speaker 1: not even on the field at the same time, like's 122 00:06:05,108 --> 00:06:07,588 Speaker 1: Burrow versus Josh at Nano. It's the I guess their 123 00:06:07,628 --> 00:06:10,348 Speaker 1: defense to your point, But it does feel like like 124 00:06:10,388 --> 00:06:12,348 Speaker 1: this is kind of bringing back the good old days, 125 00:06:12,428 --> 00:06:15,828 Speaker 1: right boomeris Sciason and Jim Kelly. That for the AFC, 126 00:06:16,028 --> 00:06:19,308 Speaker 1: we always had Manning and Brady, and you look at 127 00:06:19,388 --> 00:06:22,348 Speaker 1: these two teams right here. I'm gonna go just kind 128 00:06:22,348 --> 00:06:24,668 Speaker 1: of peel back down in a little bit here. The 129 00:06:24,748 --> 00:06:28,788 Speaker 1: quarterbacks drive the league, right, but it's who can protect 130 00:06:28,788 --> 00:06:32,468 Speaker 1: the offensive liness little wrinkles in this game that I'm 131 00:06:32,468 --> 00:06:36,548 Speaker 1: watching tonight while everybody's watching the Q let's go, Josh, 132 00:06:36,548 --> 00:06:39,348 Speaker 1: you gotta help me win my fantasy playoff team. I'm 133 00:06:39,348 --> 00:06:41,908 Speaker 1: watching Mitch Morre's coming back from concussion, all right against 134 00:06:41,988 --> 00:06:44,588 Speaker 1: DJ Reader quietly one of the better tack like league 135 00:06:44,628 --> 00:06:45,988 Speaker 1: right now. All right, that's gonna be a great matchup 136 00:06:45,988 --> 00:06:48,348 Speaker 1: to watch when the Bills have the football. But when 137 00:06:48,388 --> 00:06:50,948 Speaker 1: the Bengals have the ball, all right, Lyle Collins out, 138 00:06:51,148 --> 00:06:53,668 Speaker 1: all right. They brought in Lyle Collins. The whole narrative 139 00:06:53,708 --> 00:06:55,548 Speaker 1: after the Super Bowl loss was fixed the old line 140 00:06:55,588 --> 00:06:58,348 Speaker 1: and a Degi Dallas captain there a key Madonna Jay 141 00:06:58,828 --> 00:07:02,108 Speaker 1: can he hold up against Greg Russeau? Obviously no von Miller, 142 00:07:02,188 --> 00:07:04,308 Speaker 1: but that's what I'm watching all right? Who could keep 143 00:07:04,308 --> 00:07:06,588 Speaker 1: the quarterback up right? We know Burrows has been sacked 144 00:07:06,588 --> 00:07:08,748 Speaker 1: a lot. He doesn't quite have the mobility Josh does. 145 00:07:08,828 --> 00:07:11,508 Speaker 1: But I'm holding it on those two guys. Those guys 146 00:07:11,508 --> 00:07:13,468 Speaker 1: have big a sign. It's a big point because we 147 00:07:13,548 --> 00:07:15,788 Speaker 1: talked about Whitworth coming back to the Bengals like right, 148 00:07:15,828 --> 00:07:18,708 Speaker 1: almost kiddingly, but then you know Whitworth is actually I'm 149 00:07:18,748 --> 00:07:20,908 Speaker 1: available if if they actually do call. They didn't. They 150 00:07:20,948 --> 00:07:23,548 Speaker 1: stuck with their guys. Do you see Burrow being under 151 00:07:23,588 --> 00:07:26,628 Speaker 1: siege tonight? I think that they're gonna give him some help. 152 00:07:26,708 --> 00:07:28,908 Speaker 1: Like if you have a right tackle, you can give 153 00:07:28,948 --> 00:07:30,508 Speaker 1: him a help. It's a lot easier to help him 154 00:07:30,548 --> 00:07:32,668 Speaker 1: than it is a left tackle. Chip them. You could 155 00:07:32,668 --> 00:07:34,548 Speaker 1: put the tight end over there, run the football a 156 00:07:34,548 --> 00:07:36,668 Speaker 1: little bit more with mixing um. So it's a lot 157 00:07:36,668 --> 00:07:38,308 Speaker 1: easier to give help to your right tackle than it 158 00:07:38,388 --> 00:07:40,388 Speaker 1: is your love. This game has so many layers. We're 159 00:07:40,388 --> 00:07:42,308 Speaker 1: talking about the nuances of how to help a right 160 00:07:42,308 --> 00:07:44,708 Speaker 1: tackle versus left tackle. Peter, what was that term you 161 00:07:44,828 --> 00:07:48,428 Speaker 1: used earlier? Rocking Cherokee. You know you have it from 162 00:07:48,428 --> 00:07:50,668 Speaker 1: the very start. You can smoke a cigar. But see, 163 00:07:50,668 --> 00:07:51,908 Speaker 1: I want to take I want to I want to 164 00:07:51,908 --> 00:07:54,468 Speaker 1: redefine a rocking chair game like this.

I was just looking 168 00:08:01,748 --> 00:08:04,468 Speaker 1: up special team stats. The Bills have one of the 169 00:08:04,508 --> 00:08:07,068 Speaker 1: best kickoff returners in the game. Like, you can go 170 00:08:07,228 --> 00:08:09,948 Speaker 1: so deep on how good these two teams are, and 171 00:08:09,988 --> 00:08:12,948 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, the joy of the hand the gentleman's handshake 172 00:08:13,028 --> 00:08:14,868 Speaker 1: that these two quarterbacks could have to say, let's just 173 00:08:14,908 --> 00:08:17,108 Speaker 1: do each other a favor, and somebody keep my homes 174 00:08:17,148 --> 00:08:19,908 Speaker 1: out of hosting a playoff game, because that's how deep 175 00:08:19,988 --> 00:08:22,548 Speaker 1: this game goes.

Buffalo chicken wing chill recipe. 191 00:09:04,908 --> 00:09:09,628 Speaker 1: O me Buffalo chicken wing chili recipe like this Cincinnati 192 00:09:09,788 --> 00:09:13,948 Speaker 1: Buffalo Fusion. Good morning football. We are gonna get out 193 00:09:14,028 --> 00:09:16,348 Speaker 1: our very first game balls of the year. It feels 194 00:09:16,348 --> 00:09:18,628 Speaker 1: a little different, huh. It's different in twenty twenty three. 195 00:09:19,028 --> 00:09:22,868 Speaker 1: Everything is different. Everything chirst didn't possibly could have got 196 00:09:22,908 --> 00:09:25,948 Speaker 1: a game ball. We'll see both. Brock Purty, he gotta 197 00:09:26,028 --> 00:09:28,108 Speaker 1: done as it got the victory. Can he be the 198 00:09:28,228 --> 00:09:31,188 Speaker 1: guy to lead these forty nine ers to go deep 199 00:09:31,308 --> 00:09:33,828 Speaker 1: in the playoffs. We'll discuss its coming up next. Do 200 00:09:33,908 --> 00:09:36,548 Speaker 1: you think I meet the wings first and then use 201 00:09:36,668 --> 00:09:54,108 Speaker 1: that chicken in the children. I guess what, Yeah, forty 202 00:09:54,188 --> 00:09:56,988 Speaker 1: nine ers, nine straight victories, twelve and four. They've got 203 00:09:57,108 --> 00:10:00,348 Speaker 1: three quarterbacks. Brock Purty, what do you got to say 204 00:10:00,348 --> 00:10:03,428 Speaker 1: after the game? I mean, obviously, I don't think anybody 205 00:10:03,708 --> 00:10:05,988 Speaker 1: wants the make a game close or anything. You always 206 00:10:05,988 --> 00:10:08,948 Speaker 1: want to put up points and win in a comfortable way. 207 00:10:09,028 --> 00:10:11,708 Speaker 1: But for us to go through that kind of you know, scenario, 208 00:10:11,868 --> 00:10:14,668 Speaker 1: and for our offense and then even for myself games 209 00:10:14,708 --> 00:10:16,188 Speaker 1: on the line, we have to move down the field 210 00:10:16,228 --> 00:10:18,108 Speaker 1: and put up points and trust the defense like all 211 00:10:18,148 --> 00:10:19,788 Speaker 1: that kind of stuff. So I think it was great 212 00:10:19,788 --> 00:10:21,148 Speaker 1: for our team and where we're at, you know, in 213 00:10:21,348 --> 00:10:23,388 Speaker 1: terms of what our goal is and all of this. 214 00:10:23,628 --> 00:10:25,268 Speaker 1: So you know, it's good good for us to go 215 00:10:25,348 --> 00:10:30,788 Speaker 1: through that. Sure, adversity builds character and it just Tally's 216 00:10:30,788 --> 00:10:33,788 Speaker 1: wins if you will. San Francisco now up to two seats. 217 00:10:33,828 --> 00:10:35,828 Speaker 1: They've still got a shot at home field advantage if 218 00:10:35,868 --> 00:10:39,588 Speaker 1: they win, and the Eagles loops in League eighteen. So 219 00:10:39,708 --> 00:10:42,988 Speaker 1: we talked a lot about handful of NFC teams so 220 00:10:43,148 --> 00:10:46,228 Speaker 1: far this morning. Let's focus on the forty nine ers. 221 00:10:46,508 --> 00:10:50,028 Speaker 1: They may be the best roster in football, but they 222 00:10:50,108 --> 00:10:52,068 Speaker 1: got this young kid at quarterback who's kind of making 223 00:10:52,068 --> 00:10:53,988 Speaker 1: a name for himself. Jason wanted to make it the squad. 224 00:10:54,108 --> 00:10:57,308 Speaker 1: I like brock Party and I think he's undefeated as 225 00:10:57,348 --> 00:10:59,028 Speaker 1: a starter. But a lot of those we've said, well, 226 00:10:59,068 --> 00:11:01,108 Speaker 1: the defense has played so well and he hasn't been 227 00:11:01,108 --> 00:11:03,908 Speaker 1: asked to do much and he's continued to be efficient 228 00:11:04,028 --> 00:11:06,948 Speaker 1: but well. Impressed me about yesterday's victories. They were down 229 00:11:07,028 --> 00:11:10,188 Speaker 1: twenty four to fourteen in the second half and Stidham 230 00:11:10,228 --> 00:11:12,308 Speaker 1: played out of his mind. I'm watching this game. I 231 00:11:12,428 --> 00:11:14,548 Speaker 1: played with Stitty for a few years, and I'm like, 232 00:11:14,628 --> 00:11:17,828 Speaker 1: go City, go for brock Purty. He answered the call 233 00:11:18,148 --> 00:11:20,588 Speaker 1: each and every time when they would go scoring and 234 00:11:20,708 --> 00:11:23,308 Speaker 1: Raiders will make a play, San Francisco will going to 235 00:11:23,388 --> 00:11:25,228 Speaker 1: drive and they'd come back and they'd make a play 236 00:11:25,268 --> 00:11:27,668 Speaker 1: as well. So when you watch brock Purty as numbers 237 00:11:27,708 --> 00:11:29,668 Speaker 1: every time he goes out there are efficient twenty two 238 00:11:29,708 --> 00:11:32,588 Speaker 1: of thirty five, two hundred and eighty four yards, two touchdowns, 239 00:11:32,628 --> 00:11:35,948 Speaker 1: one interception. But for me, it's the resiliency, it's the 240 00:11:36,108 --> 00:11:38,588 Speaker 1: poison he's back when he's out there as their quarterback. 241 00:11:38,948 --> 00:11:41,508 Speaker 1: No one seems to panic. Everybody has a lot of 242 00:11:41,588 --> 00:11:43,548 Speaker 1: belief in his kid, and he shows up each and 243 00:11:43,708 --> 00:11:46,228 Speaker 1: every week. So the rushing we continue to ask us, 244 00:11:46,308 --> 00:11:48,508 Speaker 1: all right, what is brock Purdy gonna do when San 245 00:11:48,588 --> 00:11:51,628 Speaker 1: Francisco's down, when the defense doesn't perform well? Can he 246 00:11:51,788 --> 00:11:53,668 Speaker 1: do what they need? Can he put the team on 247 00:11:53,788 --> 00:11:55,708 Speaker 1: his back? Can he do a game winning drive? And 248 00:11:55,868 --> 00:11:57,948 Speaker 1: we saw that yesterday fourth quarter they need to go 249 00:11:58,068 --> 00:12:01,708 Speaker 1: into overtime and Brock Purdy continue to make plays, not 250 00:12:01,908 --> 00:12:04,228 Speaker 1: losing the game, but making plays to win the game 251 00:12:04,508 --> 00:12:06,628 Speaker 1: for San Francisco to be able to squeak out a win. 252 00:12:06,908 --> 00:12:10,108 Speaker 1: Defense didn't play perfect, but there's still the most talented defense, 253 00:12:10,188 --> 00:12:12,508 Speaker 1: best defense in the NFL. So you have to feel 254 00:12:12,588 --> 00:12:15,148 Speaker 1: really good of you a forty nine Ers team, third 255 00:12:15,188 --> 00:12:17,508 Speaker 1: string quarnerback at his point, but he's playing really well 256 00:12:17,548 --> 00:12:19,908 Speaker 1: and the defense will bounce back. Listen, the Vikings and 257 00:12:19,988 --> 00:12:22,828 Speaker 1: the Eagles made the forty nine Ers look better yesterday 258 00:12:22,988 --> 00:12:25,948 Speaker 1: in the NFC conversation. As a whole, Rock Purty I 259 00:12:26,068 --> 00:12:28,948 Speaker 1: find so fascinating he has not at one moment, and 260 00:12:28,988 --> 00:12:30,708 Speaker 1: I'm a little worried this is gonna happen in January, 261 00:12:30,708 --> 00:12:32,268 Speaker 1: and please hear God I hope it does not. I 262 00:12:32,348 --> 00:12:34,188 Speaker 1: hope rock Perty does not go through like the awkward 263 00:12:34,268 --> 00:12:37,388 Speaker 1: teenager phase as a new quarterback because he's just kind 264 00:12:37,428 --> 00:12:40,628 Speaker 1: of been a grown man this entire time as a rookie. 265 00:12:40,668 --> 00:12:42,068 Speaker 1: And we're going to use the name that we do 266 00:12:42,188 --> 00:12:44,108 Speaker 1: not use for the player that has drafted last in 267 00:12:44,148 --> 00:12:47,748 Speaker 1: the draft because he looks mature. He looks calm. I 268 00:12:48,228 --> 00:12:51,148 Speaker 1: click around the game, I'm watching red zone. The forty 269 00:12:51,268 --> 00:12:54,868 Speaker 1: nine ers are like an adverse offensive situation. Third and seven. 270 00:12:55,228 --> 00:12:58,228 Speaker 1: He drops back. He doesn't look scared. He just he 271 00:12:58,388 --> 00:13:01,068 Speaker 1: when he scrambles, he looks like he still knows what 272 00:13:01,188 --> 00:13:04,228 Speaker 1: his reeds are. I'm so impressed by him. But all 273 00:13:04,468 --> 00:13:08,268 Speaker 1: so Deebo and Christian looked fantastic that the two headed monster. Peter. 274 00:13:08,308 --> 00:13:09,988 Speaker 1: I think it's what you said, like they look good. 275 00:13:10,068 --> 00:13:12,308 Speaker 1: It looked really good. Yeah, Purty, he looks composed. He 276 00:13:12,548 --> 00:13:15,068 Speaker 1: looks yeah composed. Yeah, bit, he's definitely spent some time 277 00:13:15,108 --> 00:13:16,908 Speaker 1: in a rocking chair. I think when you look at 278 00:13:17,108 --> 00:13:18,788 Speaker 1: at this team, you mentioned the roster is huge. So 279 00:13:18,988 --> 00:13:20,628 Speaker 1: we got to give lowth to John Lynch, right, the 280 00:13:20,668 --> 00:13:24,148 Speaker 1: general manager assembling this roster and then making the tray 281 00:13:24,188 --> 00:13:27,068 Speaker 1: for Christian McCaffrey. When you look at what this run 282 00:13:27,148 --> 00:13:28,908 Speaker 1: that the four and iis have been on log it's 283 00:13:28,948 --> 00:13:31,508 Speaker 1: directly correlated to McCaffrey comming. He came in week seven, 284 00:13:31,708 --> 00:13:34,268 Speaker 1: he didn't start that game, but since Week eight they've 285 00:13:34,268 --> 00:13:37,188 Speaker 1: been on a heater and I know they went into Vegas. 286 00:13:37,228 --> 00:13:39,268 Speaker 1: Look crazy things happened in Vegas. So that game, you 287 00:13:39,268 --> 00:13:40,868 Speaker 1: can kind of just throw that one out there with 288 00:13:41,188 --> 00:13:42,708 Speaker 1: what happened to the defense right there. I give him 289 00:13:42,708 --> 00:13:44,508 Speaker 1: a ton of points early on, but I look at 290 00:13:44,548 --> 00:13:48,188 Speaker 1: the McCaffrey effect on this offense and one hundred and 291 00:13:48,268 --> 00:13:51,428 Speaker 1: ninety two scrimmage yards yesterday. When you look at what 292 00:13:51,548 --> 00:13:53,588 Speaker 1: he's doing for this offense, the different wrinkles that he's 293 00:13:53,628 --> 00:13:56,948 Speaker 1: given now, it lets Purty have that play actually passing. 294 00:13:57,108 --> 00:14:00,188 Speaker 1: It gives this offensive tea. So I think McCaffrey has 295 00:14:00,228 --> 00:14:02,588 Speaker 1: been huge for them. And you know, look as good 296 00:14:02,628 --> 00:14:05,748 Speaker 1: as Purty has been. The biggest asked that he has 297 00:14:05,828 --> 00:14:09,028 Speaker 1: going right now is he's accurate, Like he doesn't miss. 298 00:14:09,588 --> 00:14:11,988 Speaker 1: And I'll tell you what, four Niners might have a 299 00:14:12,068 --> 00:14:14,708 Speaker 1: Lambarti Trophy if they had a quarterback they didn't miss 300 00:14:14,748 --> 00:14:15,988 Speaker 1: on a couple of throws earlier, you know, a couple 301 00:14:16,028 --> 00:14:18,388 Speaker 1: of years ago, so that that's such a part of 302 00:14:18,508 --> 00:14:21,228 Speaker 1: this game. It's real. It's not shade. It's just look, 303 00:14:21,268 --> 00:14:23,508 Speaker 1: will you have a play to be made, You've got 304 00:14:23,588 --> 00:14:25,268 Speaker 1: to you've gotta make it. You've got to make the throw. 305 00:14:25,428 --> 00:14:28,828 Speaker 1: And he's doing that. Whether whether some McCaffrey, Um, you 306 00:14:28,908 --> 00:14:30,908 Speaker 1: hope you get Debo back into the mix at some point, 307 00:14:30,948 --> 00:14:33,188 Speaker 1: But Purdy, he looks wise, be on his ears, and 308 00:14:33,908 --> 00:14:36,748 Speaker 1: I liked this team, but I think he's the least 309 00:14:36,788 --> 00:14:39,868 Speaker 1: scary quarterback because there's no point of But they don't 310 00:14:39,868 --> 00:14:42,828 Speaker 1: want him, they don't need him to be scared. Oh Um, 311 00:14:42,908 --> 00:14:44,428 Speaker 1: to your point, you mentioned Ebo, same, it's been on 312 00:14:44,468 --> 00:14:46,828 Speaker 1: the field of months, but he eventually will be and 313 00:14:46,908 --> 00:14:49,668 Speaker 1: then Elijah Mitchell will eventually be back. And then you're like, 314 00:14:50,108 --> 00:14:53,068 Speaker 1: wait a second, we do have all these weapons and 315 00:14:53,148 --> 00:14:55,748 Speaker 1: we haven't even had a chance to gel with Purdy 316 00:14:55,868 --> 00:14:57,668 Speaker 1: being the version that we've seen in the last few weeks. 317 00:14:57,668 --> 00:15:00,228 Speaker 1: Purdie's getting better every single week and yet he was 318 00:15:00,468 --> 00:15:02,828 Speaker 1: the second best quarterback on the field yesterday. Can we 319 00:15:02,908 --> 00:15:05,108 Speaker 1: take a moment to just go through yard stid please? 320 00:15:05,148 --> 00:15:08,828 Speaker 1: Do they bench Derek Carr and Everyone's up in arms. 321 00:15:08,868 --> 00:15:10,988 Speaker 1: How could you do this? It's not Derek Carr's fault. 322 00:15:11,868 --> 00:15:14,228 Speaker 1: Everything I've been hearing out of Vegas is that, you 323 00:15:14,308 --> 00:15:17,988 Speaker 1: know what, Stidham's been playing really good in practice. Stidham 324 00:15:18,068 --> 00:15:21,268 Speaker 1: has been the guy all season that's just been quiet 325 00:15:21,308 --> 00:15:24,228 Speaker 1: and like holding the clipboard. And I think Josh McDaniels 326 00:15:24,228 --> 00:15:25,828 Speaker 1: wanted to see what they had in Stidham and now 327 00:15:25,868 --> 00:15:28,828 Speaker 1: you get them in and that Derek Carr conversation was 328 00:15:28,908 --> 00:15:31,908 Speaker 1: like over the second Stidham started playing. I was like, 329 00:15:31,988 --> 00:15:33,828 Speaker 1: this is the Raiders what they could have been with 330 00:15:33,868 --> 00:15:35,788 Speaker 1: all these offensive weapons. And I'm not trying to insult 331 00:15:35,828 --> 00:15:38,188 Speaker 1: Derek Carr here. He's had some big games too, But 332 00:15:38,748 --> 00:15:40,588 Speaker 1: for Stidham to come in off the bench amidst what 333 00:15:40,868 --> 00:15:43,308 Speaker 1: this was a crazy week. After quarterback for nine years 334 00:15:43,508 --> 00:15:45,988 Speaker 1: was the face of the franchise and stidhams is basically 335 00:15:46,068 --> 00:15:48,468 Speaker 1: like thrown into the mix and then lights up the 336 00:15:48,588 --> 00:15:51,588 Speaker 1: number one defense in the league five yards five yards. 337 00:15:52,548 --> 00:15:54,588 Speaker 1: Hats off to Jared Stidham. And I'm gonna give a 338 00:15:54,708 --> 00:15:57,588 Speaker 1: rare compliment in the sports media world to Josh McDaniels 339 00:15:57,628 --> 00:15:59,668 Speaker 1: to just say, and you know what, I'll take the Bullets, like, 340 00:15:59,868 --> 00:16:01,628 Speaker 1: I want to see Stidham out in the field this week, 341 00:16:01,628 --> 00:16:03,388 Speaker 1: and we're gonna show what we've got here in Jared 342 00:16:03,428 --> 00:16:05,628 Speaker 1: Sam Stidham was mc daniels. This guy up in New England, 343 00:16:05,708 --> 00:16:08,188 Speaker 1: brings him over in a train and hey, they're playing 344 00:16:08,228 --> 00:16:10,428 Speaker 1: the Chiefs next week, Like if I'm Kansas City, they 345 00:16:10,508 --> 00:16:12,348 Speaker 1: need that game for homefield advantage and all that stuff 346 00:16:12,348 --> 00:16:13,828 Speaker 1: like that's the last thing you wanted to see with Sidham, 347 00:16:13,828 --> 00:16:14,988 Speaker 1: just lighting him up. This is not gonna be a 348 00:16:15,068 --> 00:16:17,068 Speaker 1: cakewalk next week and shout out to the leaders in 349 00:16:17,148 --> 00:16:19,148 Speaker 1: that locker room. I think for McDaniels to make a 350 00:16:19,268 --> 00:16:21,428 Speaker 1: move like that, he had to know that the guys 351 00:16:21,468 --> 00:16:23,628 Speaker 1: in that locker room, the leaders, they were okay with 352 00:16:23,748 --> 00:16:26,068 Speaker 1: it and probably believed in. And it's not a knock 353 00:16:26,148 --> 00:16:28,548 Speaker 1: on Derek Carr, but at that point in the season, 354 00:16:28,668 --> 00:16:31,508 Speaker 1: some struggles and Stidham's a guy who knows the offense 355 00:16:31,628 --> 00:16:34,188 Speaker 1: was with Josh McDaniels in New England was just like, hey, 356 00:16:34,348 --> 00:16:36,348 Speaker 1: let's give Stadham a chance and see what he can do. 357 00:16:36,508 --> 00:16:38,548 Speaker 1: And the one thing Stiddy got in there, he was 358 00:16:38,588 --> 00:16:40,788 Speaker 1: just like, Hey, if Davante Adams is one on one, 359 00:16:41,068 --> 00:16:42,908 Speaker 1: the hell with the offense, I'm throwing the ball up 360 00:16:42,948 --> 00:16:45,108 Speaker 1: to him and DeVante, you go out there and make 361 00:16:45,148 --> 00:16:46,828 Speaker 1: a play. So it was fun to watch him get 362 00:16:46,868 --> 00:16:48,868 Speaker 1: out there and throw the ball all over the field. 363 00:16:48,908 --> 00:16:51,188 Speaker 1: So nice for Stidam. It's such a good point because 364 00:16:51,188 --> 00:16:53,108 Speaker 1: I think a lot of people thought that Davante Adams 365 00:16:53,268 --> 00:16:56,628 Speaker 1: his thoughts about Derek Carr getting Dan She like, Oh, 366 00:16:56,708 --> 00:16:59,268 Speaker 1: he's gonna be mad, He's gonna put Nope. He was like, 367 00:16:59,388 --> 00:17:01,668 Speaker 1: I'll catch a ball from anyone who want to. I 368 00:17:01,828 --> 00:17:04,228 Speaker 1: want to ball over the ball. Make me the money, right. Okay, 369 00:17:04,388 --> 00:17:08,908 Speaker 1: here's a little of the updated NFC playoff picture. Eagles 370 00:17:09,228 --> 00:17:11,108 Speaker 1: still hanging in the balance on the left side of 371 00:17:11,188 --> 00:17:14,228 Speaker 1: the screen. But the Buccaneers at the fourth spot have 372 00:17:14,388 --> 00:17:16,828 Speaker 1: clinched the NFC South, which was kind of an atrocious 373 00:17:16,868 --> 00:17:19,708 Speaker 1: division all season long. It was up for grabs. They 374 00:17:19,788 --> 00:17:22,108 Speaker 1: took care of business when it mattered most. And now 375 00:17:22,188 --> 00:17:24,468 Speaker 1: we sit here Peter on Good Morning Football on a 376 00:17:24,548 --> 00:17:27,468 Speaker 1: Monday talking Tom Brady and the Buccaneers. They are the 377 00:17:27,548 --> 00:17:31,028 Speaker 1: winners in that division. Yeah, Brady's unbelievable. That performance yesterday. 378 00:17:31,268 --> 00:17:34,788 Speaker 1: It was as it's been all season. Buccaneers stink to 379 00:17:34,868 --> 00:17:36,628 Speaker 1: start the game, they're fourteen nothing. You don't want to 380 00:17:36,628 --> 00:17:38,588 Speaker 1: see them ever play again. You're like, I cannot watch 381 00:17:38,668 --> 00:17:40,628 Speaker 1: this team play another down. You've got You should be 382 00:17:40,868 --> 00:17:43,668 Speaker 1: so so honored that they even sent the Fox A 383 00:17:43,788 --> 00:17:45,908 Speaker 1: crew to cover this game because it was so bad. 384 00:17:45,988 --> 00:17:48,308 Speaker 1: And then second half, Wait a second, this is the 385 00:17:48,348 --> 00:17:51,108 Speaker 1: best player to ever play the sport. And he's lighting 386 00:17:51,188 --> 00:17:53,588 Speaker 1: up CJ. Henderson and he's lightning up Keith Taylor, and 387 00:17:53,668 --> 00:17:55,668 Speaker 1: he's like, I've got my guys, and we're gonna find 388 00:17:55,708 --> 00:17:58,948 Speaker 1: a way. I'm gonna pass us through this thing. Buccaneers again, 389 00:17:59,068 --> 00:18:01,228 Speaker 1: no showed the first half, and then second half day 390 00:18:01,548 --> 00:18:05,268 Speaker 1: come out and they're explosive. Mike Evans has nine straight 391 00:18:05,468 --> 00:18:08,228 Speaker 1: seasons with a thousand yards to start his career, the 392 00:18:08,268 --> 00:18:10,468 Speaker 1: first player in NFL history to do that. He gets 393 00:18:10,548 --> 00:18:14,028 Speaker 1: his with two hundred yards yesterday, and Brady was dialed in, Look, 394 00:18:14,068 --> 00:18:16,108 Speaker 1: the Bucks are going to probably play the Cowboys in 395 00:18:16,188 --> 00:18:18,268 Speaker 1: the first round of the playoffs, and they're gonna be 396 00:18:18,348 --> 00:18:20,628 Speaker 1: at home. And I know you don't want to hear 397 00:18:20,628 --> 00:18:23,308 Speaker 1: it here if you're a Cowboys fan, but like it's 398 00:18:23,348 --> 00:18:25,668 Speaker 1: a fresh season come playoff time, and they might do 399 00:18:25,788 --> 00:18:28,628 Speaker 1: exactly what they've done all season. Stink in the first half. 400 00:18:29,068 --> 00:18:31,348 Speaker 1: You want to fire left Foot, you want to fire Bawls, 401 00:18:31,428 --> 00:18:33,828 Speaker 1: you want to bring in Blaine Gabbert. And then at 402 00:18:33,828 --> 00:18:36,148 Speaker 1: the end of the game, Brady's hugging an executive, Jason 403 00:18:36,228 --> 00:18:39,228 Speaker 1: light the GM, or hugging the offensive coordinator Byron left Woot, 404 00:18:39,468 --> 00:18:42,428 Speaker 1: or hugging Mike Greenberg, the salary cab guy, because Brady 405 00:18:42,468 --> 00:18:44,388 Speaker 1: saved the day again and he should be hugging all 406 00:18:44,388 --> 00:18:46,148 Speaker 1: of those guys, and they want to never let go 407 00:18:46,508 --> 00:18:49,228 Speaker 1: because that's what Brady brings them a chance to win 408 00:18:49,348 --> 00:18:51,988 Speaker 1: these games. He was awesome yesterday. Yet again Brady when 409 00:18:52,028 --> 00:18:53,428 Speaker 1: it mattered. I don't know what happened to the start 410 00:18:53,468 --> 00:18:55,628 Speaker 1: of these games, but Brady finishes the job. Yeah, in 411 00:18:55,668 --> 00:18:58,188 Speaker 1: the fourth quarter. I mean he's turning on. He's got 412 00:18:58,428 --> 00:19:01,508 Speaker 1: that next level energy and for the first time in 413 00:19:01,588 --> 00:19:04,668 Speaker 1: franchise history, back to back division titles. I mean, that's 414 00:19:04,668 --> 00:19:06,868 Speaker 1: why you brought Tom to Tampa Bay, and that's the 415 00:19:06,908 --> 00:19:09,828 Speaker 1: whole purpose of this. I just still marvel at Tom 416 00:19:09,948 --> 00:19:14,108 Speaker 1: versus time because while everybody his age is cutting back 417 00:19:14,188 --> 00:19:18,148 Speaker 1: and you know, resting and recovering, Tom Brady's throwing more 418 00:19:18,188 --> 00:19:20,108 Speaker 1: passes than any other quarterback in the NFL. Right now, 419 00:19:20,148 --> 00:19:23,508 Speaker 1: He's got more completions, more attempts than any quarterback in 420 00:19:23,548 --> 00:19:25,668 Speaker 1: the NFL. Right now. He's leading the NFL on that, 421 00:19:26,668 --> 00:19:30,268 Speaker 1: like he's showing no signs of slowing down. And yet 422 00:19:30,348 --> 00:19:32,828 Speaker 1: it was these deep throws, these deep bombs right here. 423 00:19:33,228 --> 00:19:35,748 Speaker 1: That not just the throws, not just the catch. How 424 00:19:35,788 --> 00:19:38,028 Speaker 1: about the time like Tom versus time, but how about 425 00:19:38,028 --> 00:19:42,508 Speaker 1: the protection time to throw the ball. Tristan Worth's healthy again, 426 00:19:42,868 --> 00:19:46,388 Speaker 1: the probag factor right there, And I feel like this 427 00:19:46,508 --> 00:19:49,108 Speaker 1: team has this belief because they have Tom there. Hey, look, 428 00:19:49,308 --> 00:19:50,548 Speaker 1: just get the game in the fourth quarter. It's like 429 00:19:50,708 --> 00:19:52,708 Speaker 1: it's like watching NBA games sometimes, get the game in 430 00:19:52,748 --> 00:19:54,308 Speaker 1: the fourth quarter. Our best player is going to find 431 00:19:54,348 --> 00:19:57,028 Speaker 1: a way to make a shot, make a play, score 432 00:19:57,068 --> 00:19:58,908 Speaker 1: some points, and we're gonna get a win. Yeah, most 433 00:19:58,948 --> 00:20:01,908 Speaker 1: guys Tom's age just sitting at tables like this discussing 434 00:20:02,028 --> 00:20:04,668 Speaker 1: sports or rocking chairs. Yeah, like these two guys. But yes, 435 00:20:04,788 --> 00:20:07,148 Speaker 1: Tom Brady is unbelievable. By at his age forty five 436 00:20:07,228 --> 00:20:09,748 Speaker 1: years old, you're typically talking about a quarterback and you're 437 00:20:09,788 --> 00:20:12,228 Speaker 1: just like, all right, he's making timing throws. He's throwing 438 00:20:12,268 --> 00:20:14,228 Speaker 1: the ball before it gets the receiver gets out of 439 00:20:14,308 --> 00:20:16,588 Speaker 1: his break. He's just making the right decision because his 440 00:20:16,748 --> 00:20:20,268 Speaker 1: arms not as strong. No, Brady's throwing touchdown passes of 441 00:20:20,428 --> 00:20:24,508 Speaker 1: sixty three yards, fifty seven yards, throwing bombs down the 442 00:20:24,748 --> 00:20:27,708 Speaker 1: right sideline, which is just unbelievable, and you can never 443 00:20:27,788 --> 00:20:30,108 Speaker 1: write this guy off the goal the greatest of all time, 444 00:20:30,348 --> 00:20:32,868 Speaker 1: no matter what we say, we can say, Brady is Brady, 445 00:20:32,948 --> 00:20:35,668 Speaker 1: that they're struggling his personal life, this that in the third. 446 00:20:35,908 --> 00:20:39,388 Speaker 1: This guy's commitment, his excellence, his level of greatness, how 447 00:20:39,588 --> 00:20:42,708 Speaker 1: he picks up everybody around him. It continues to exude 448 00:20:42,748 --> 00:20:46,028 Speaker 1: himself each and every week. He finds a way. And 449 00:20:46,188 --> 00:20:47,948 Speaker 1: we said it earlier on Kyle put up all the 450 00:20:48,028 --> 00:20:50,748 Speaker 1: pictures in the NFC South, which quarterback is going to 451 00:20:50,828 --> 00:20:53,108 Speaker 1: win this division and knock Brady out? And we kept 452 00:20:53,148 --> 00:20:55,628 Speaker 1: that question mark going none of them. Brady is right 453 00:20:55,668 --> 00:20:58,148 Speaker 1: back in the picture going to the playoffs and who 454 00:20:58,228 --> 00:21:01,548 Speaker 1: the NFL playoffs just doesn't feel right without Tom Brady 455 00:21:01,588 --> 00:21:03,028 Speaker 1: in it. So excited to see him going, yeah, I 456 00:21:03,068 --> 00:21:04,948 Speaker 1: don't think whatever. You might be able to get close 457 00:21:05,028 --> 00:21:07,108 Speaker 1: enough to Tom Brady due to good security in great 458 00:21:07,148 --> 00:21:09,068 Speaker 1: pr to give him a hug but like, I want 459 00:21:09,068 --> 00:21:11,268 Speaker 1: to hug you, Tom Brady because it gives us fodder 460 00:21:11,388 --> 00:21:13,708 Speaker 1: for the rest of the season. We're a little confused 461 00:21:13,828 --> 00:21:16,468 Speaker 1: this all this year. We're asking questions like, what's going 462 00:21:16,508 --> 00:21:18,748 Speaker 1: on with their defense, what's going on with their run game. 463 00:21:19,188 --> 00:21:21,308 Speaker 1: The Wall Street Journal has a headline today that says, 464 00:21:21,428 --> 00:21:24,148 Speaker 1: this is the revenge of the geezer quarterbacks. And that's 465 00:21:24,188 --> 00:21:28,308 Speaker 1: from a heralded journalistic standard of the Wall Street Journal, 466 00:21:28,708 --> 00:21:31,428 Speaker 1: talking about Tom Brady, Aaron Rodgers, but Tom Brady, you 467 00:21:31,508 --> 00:21:33,028 Speaker 1: know who he went to. It's the guy that we've 468 00:21:33,028 --> 00:21:36,148 Speaker 1: been wanting to see all season long, and that's Mike Evans. 469 00:21:36,228 --> 00:21:39,388 Speaker 1: Three touchdowns for Mike Evans, and I'm frankly surprised that 470 00:21:39,428 --> 00:21:40,788 Speaker 1: we didn't see a hug between the two of them 471 00:21:41,068 --> 00:21:44,468 Speaker 1: last season. Look at these numbers. Thousand yard receiving seasons. 472 00:21:44,588 --> 00:21:48,548 Speaker 1: That's nine straight for Mike Evans, just behind Jerry Rice. 473 00:21:48,868 --> 00:21:50,228 Speaker 1: I mean, a lot of that has to do with 474 00:21:50,308 --> 00:21:52,308 Speaker 1: the last couple of years in the quarterback but he 475 00:21:52,428 --> 00:21:54,588 Speaker 1: didn't have Tom Brady for a lot of those seasons. 476 00:21:54,668 --> 00:21:58,628 Speaker 1: And here's Mike Evans being available to Brady, putting himself 477 00:21:58,668 --> 00:22:02,588 Speaker 1: in spots. His next highest receiving yards this season one 478 00:22:02,668 --> 00:22:05,188 Speaker 1: hundred and twenty three. This is the second most times 479 00:22:05,228 --> 00:22:08,868 Speaker 1: he's been targeted in the game efficiency three touchdowns. But 480 00:22:09,028 --> 00:22:11,188 Speaker 1: it just means Brady's got eyes for the right guy. 481 00:22:11,828 --> 00:22:14,708 Speaker 1: And we have just been so confused by this offense 482 00:22:14,748 --> 00:22:17,228 Speaker 1: all season long. Why can't I get together one? Frankly, 483 00:22:17,228 --> 00:22:19,508 Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. Brady's a gamer. He I don't care 484 00:22:19,628 --> 00:22:21,628 Speaker 1: what looks ugly in the first quarter. I don't care 485 00:22:21,668 --> 00:22:24,028 Speaker 1: what's having the second quarter in the fourth quarter. These 486 00:22:24,068 --> 00:22:26,828 Speaker 1: two connect when it matters. Brady has the team going 487 00:22:26,868 --> 00:22:29,268 Speaker 1: in the right direction, and he has him hug and everybody. 488 00:22:29,348 --> 00:22:34,788 Speaker 1: When it matters most has kept that ball right, spit 489 00:22:34,828 --> 00:22:38,148 Speaker 1: it back out. It was just another thousand yards. So Brady, 490 00:22:39,108 --> 00:22:41,468 Speaker 1: thanks for giving us something to talk about this Monday morning. 491 00:22:41,628 --> 00:22:59,068 Speaker 1: Shout out Brady back I Good morning football.

You deserve it, 497 00:23:15,468 --> 00:23:18,548 Speaker 1: Brian Dable, cheers hats off to you. All right, game ball, 498 00:23:18,668 --> 00:23:21,388 Speaker 1: game ball could give it to coach Sean who earned 499 00:23:21,428 --> 00:23:24,108 Speaker 1: your game ball for their performance this week. All right, yeah, 500 00:23:24,148 --> 00:23:26,428 Speaker 1: this one, look at this ball is going to Daniel Jones. 501 00:23:26,468 --> 00:23:28,628 Speaker 1: And and you know, I've got a couple of things 502 00:23:28,708 --> 00:23:30,228 Speaker 1: that I'm gonna bring up there. There's been a lot 503 00:23:30,268 --> 00:23:33,308 Speaker 1: of discussion about Daniel Jones, a lot of things that 504 00:23:33,348 --> 00:23:35,788 Speaker 1: were said about him over the last year. I just 505 00:23:35,868 --> 00:23:37,348 Speaker 1: kind of we went back and looked at some of 506 00:23:37,388 --> 00:23:39,268 Speaker 1: the things that leads A report had to report out 507 00:23:39,308 --> 00:23:42,308 Speaker 1: by Christopher Knox earlier this year saying, don't expect Dabel 508 00:23:42,348 --> 00:23:44,548 Speaker 1: to turn Jones into a star. A right, fans will 509 00:23:44,588 --> 00:23:48,508 Speaker 1: likely be disappointed the marginal growth that Jones shows twenty two. 510 00:23:48,788 --> 00:23:51,108 Speaker 1: All right, how about our our colleague, James Jones on 511 00:23:51,148 --> 00:23:52,468 Speaker 1: the end of a network side, I think he's a 512 00:23:52,548 --> 00:23:54,788 Speaker 1: backup in this league. The Giants will be looking for 513 00:23:54,828 --> 00:24:00,708 Speaker 1: a quarterback after the season is over. Jif there's all controversy, coward, 514 00:24:01,268 --> 00:24:04,908 Speaker 1: all right on Daniel Jones. He is he isn't good 515 00:24:04,988 --> 00:24:08,188 Speaker 1: enough to elevate this mediocre franchise. So all of that 516 00:24:08,388 --> 00:24:10,628 Speaker 1: shade on Daniel Jones, And I'm gonna give him the 517 00:24:10,668 --> 00:24:13,148 Speaker 1: game ball for what he did. He willed the Giants 518 00:24:13,228 --> 00:24:15,748 Speaker 1: into the playoffs, not just the game ball. He might 519 00:24:15,828 --> 00:24:19,268 Speaker 1: have secured that bag too. Not mad at that. Daniel 520 00:24:19,388 --> 00:24:23,228 Speaker 1: Jones to Mike Evans down and Tampa Bay ten catches, 521 00:24:23,428 --> 00:24:26,748 Speaker 1: two hundred and seven yards and three touchdowns. It was 522 00:24:26,868 --> 00:24:30,308 Speaker 1: eleven straight games without a touchdown and then he just 523 00:24:30,548 --> 00:24:35,708 Speaker 1: goes all nine straight seasons over a thousand yards. But 524 00:24:35,828 --> 00:24:37,628 Speaker 1: on top of that, listen to what he had to 525 00:24:37,668 --> 00:24:42,348 Speaker 1: say after the game and watch what he's rocking just 526 00:24:42,428 --> 00:24:44,108 Speaker 1: makes it all worth it. You know, the ball hasn't 527 00:24:44,148 --> 00:24:47,188 Speaker 1: been bouncing our way this year, Penalties being on discipline, 528 00:24:47,428 --> 00:24:49,828 Speaker 1: guys getting injured, losing games that we should win. And 529 00:24:50,228 --> 00:24:52,908 Speaker 1: it feels really good to know punch our tickets to 530 00:24:52,948 --> 00:24:55,108 Speaker 1: the postseason. I feel like we played better when our 531 00:24:55,108 --> 00:24:56,948 Speaker 1: backs are against the wall. It feels like that. It's 532 00:24:56,988 --> 00:25:00,108 Speaker 1: been that scenario for most of this year too. Today though, 533 00:25:00,188 --> 00:25:02,308 Speaker 1: the deep ball for you for Brady three touchdowns and 534 00:25:02,388 --> 00:25:04,908 Speaker 1: monster game two hundred and seven yards is the difference 535 00:25:04,948 --> 00:25:07,228 Speaker 1: for you guys on that connection, Tom was giving me 536 00:25:07,628 --> 00:25:09,468 Speaker 1: a lot of opportunities and he just kept telling me, 537 00:25:09,468 --> 00:25:12,508 Speaker 1: I'm gonna keep coming to you and run some good 538 00:25:12,548 --> 00:25:15,148 Speaker 1: routes and he threw some unbelievable passes and they hit 539 00:25:15,188 --> 00:25:20,628 Speaker 1: me righting the brave baskets. It rocking the CAROLINEA. Michael 540 00:25:20,708 --> 00:25:24,228 Speaker 1: Jordan was a secret sand to gift from Chris Godwin 541 00:25:24,668 --> 00:25:26,948 Speaker 1: and Ward to the game. Yes, and had a Jordan 542 00:25:27,188 --> 00:25:30,668 Speaker 1: esque performance. Yeah, where the goat jersey? Getting balls from 543 00:25:30,708 --> 00:25:33,588 Speaker 1: the goat? You know, the Packers defense has been much 544 00:25:33,668 --> 00:25:37,428 Speaker 1: maligned over the years, and this season, particularly the way 545 00:25:37,468 --> 00:25:40,268 Speaker 1: they started off all these first round picks, and yet 546 00:25:40,428 --> 00:25:42,148 Speaker 1: they were getting lit up week after week after week. 547 00:25:42,228 --> 00:25:44,348 Speaker 1: The Packers' defense looks like the best defensive unit in 548 00:25:44,388 --> 00:25:47,028 Speaker 1: football outside of San Francisco. Right now, my game ball 549 00:25:47,068 --> 00:25:50,788 Speaker 1: goes to Joe Barrys, a coordinator. Barry's unit has been 550 00:25:51,308 --> 00:25:53,708 Speaker 1: working on all cylinders this whole entire hot streak. Now. 551 00:25:53,748 --> 00:25:56,948 Speaker 1: I know you can say, well, they beat the they 552 00:25:57,028 --> 00:25:59,188 Speaker 1: beat the Rams, and they beat the Bears, and they 553 00:25:59,268 --> 00:26:01,668 Speaker 1: beat they beat the Dolphins with too a concust in 554 00:26:01,708 --> 00:26:03,708 Speaker 1: the fourth quarter. What are you talking about? No, no, no, no, 555 00:26:03,988 --> 00:26:06,148 Speaker 1: there are no doubts right now that this unit is 556 00:26:06,148 --> 00:26:09,388 Speaker 1: playing their best football. And I'll tell you what, Shame 557 00:26:09,468 --> 00:26:11,468 Speaker 1: on you. The rest of the NFC shame on you 558 00:26:11,668 --> 00:26:13,788 Speaker 1: for letting these guys hang around. If they get in, 559 00:26:14,388 --> 00:26:15,948 Speaker 1: they play at two seed. I don't care if it's 560 00:26:15,988 --> 00:26:18,668 Speaker 1: the Niners, if it's the Vikings, or whoever. I'm watching 561 00:26:18,708 --> 00:26:20,828 Speaker 1: this game because his defense is playing the best football 562 00:26:20,868 --> 00:26:23,388 Speaker 1: it's ever played under. Joe Back Kenny Clark, unblockable, It's 563 00:26:23,588 --> 00:26:26,788 Speaker 1: unblockable Darnell Savage first pick six. We see, Peter, you 564 00:26:26,908 --> 00:26:29,468 Speaker 1: told de Jared cinneam story of the week for his week, 565 00:26:29,548 --> 00:26:31,548 Speaker 1: for his first start in the NFL for the Raiders. 566 00:26:31,708 --> 00:26:34,188 Speaker 1: How about just this young man's life.
