1 00:00:01,360 --> 00:00:02,440 Speaker 1: The volume. 2 00:00:08,640 --> 00:00:13,160 Speaker 2: Novel for these your Deltol championships that should always do 3 00:00:13,200 --> 00:00:13,880 Speaker 2: the expectation. 4 00:00:14,040 --> 00:00:15,720 Speaker 3: All right, man Ax, you go ahead. 5 00:00:16,640 --> 00:00:19,640 Speaker 1: Welcome back to the Richard Sherman Podcast, presented by our 6 00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:23,160 Speaker 1: friends and partners over at Brightling. Got me shining right, 7 00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:26,000 Speaker 1: Got me shining bright. A lot of things to talk 8 00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:28,400 Speaker 1: about today, but we're gonna start it off with the 9 00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:32,080 Speaker 1: San Francisco forty nine ers in Brock Parties contract. It's 10 00:00:32,080 --> 00:00:34,360 Speaker 1: been a lot of debate. Should he get sixty million? 11 00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:37,559 Speaker 1: Deck got sixty million? You know there's other quarterbacks right 12 00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:40,280 Speaker 1: now with fifty five million. Trevor Lawrence got fifty five, 13 00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:43,479 Speaker 1: Jordan Love, Joe Burrow, all that fifty five million to 14 00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:46,600 Speaker 1: a tongue of billo at fifty three. What does Brock 15 00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:51,360 Speaker 1: Party deserve? They did a poll in the Bay Area. 16 00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:54,760 Speaker 1: Thirty eight percent say he deserves twenty to thirty million, 17 00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:57,480 Speaker 1: twenty nine percent say he deserves between thirty one and 18 00:00:57,560 --> 00:01:01,680 Speaker 1: forty million, nineteen percent say he deserves between forty one 19 00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:04,840 Speaker 1: million and fifty million, and fourteen percent say he deserves 20 00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:08,080 Speaker 1: between fifty one and sixty million. Let me tell you, 21 00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:11,000 Speaker 1: some people, I hear you. I'm with you, but this 22 00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:13,720 Speaker 1: is the National Football League. You guys are speaking like 23 00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:17,679 Speaker 1: fans and businesses don't quite work that way. I'm sure 24 00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:20,520 Speaker 1: you know you're not happy with his performance right now. 25 00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:25,800 Speaker 1: But I can name one, two, three, four, five quarterbacks 26 00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:27,880 Speaker 1: on that list making over fifty million that have not 27 00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:31,120 Speaker 1: even sniffed a Super Bowl, have not even sniffed the 28 00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:34,040 Speaker 1: second round of the playoffs, and haven't come close to 29 00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:37,120 Speaker 1: winning anything. And this guy's been to an NFC championship 30 00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:39,559 Speaker 1: in a super Bowl. I understand it's not going great 31 00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:42,720 Speaker 1: this season. That's fine. You know, not every season is 32 00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:43,880 Speaker 1: going to be go how you want it. You're not 33 00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:45,840 Speaker 1: going to go to the super Bowl every single season. 34 00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:47,960 Speaker 1: But he's been had a lot of success in the postseason. 35 00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:50,440 Speaker 1: He's played incredibly well in the postseason, better than most 36 00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:53,120 Speaker 1: of these quarterbacks on this list outside of Joe Burrow. 37 00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:54,920 Speaker 3: And that's it. That's it. 38 00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:56,960 Speaker 1: I mean, you can talk about Dak Prescott and his 39 00:01:57,040 --> 00:01:59,000 Speaker 1: playoff walls. You could talk about Jordan Love and his 40 00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:02,040 Speaker 1: playoff walls, and they ended the season last year on 41 00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:04,120 Speaker 1: an interception off his arm and a two minute drill. 42 00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:08,320 Speaker 1: Maybe that narrative changes this year, but Trevor Lawrence has 43 00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:12,080 Speaker 1: one playoff win and no playoffs since has been I 44 00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:15,520 Speaker 1: think he's fifteen over his last seventeen games or something 45 00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:17,560 Speaker 1: like that, to a tongue of Bailoa has had the 46 00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:18,639 Speaker 1: concussion issues. 47 00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:20,200 Speaker 3: So when you're. 48 00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:22,520 Speaker 1: Negotiating with a team, unless you're willing to move on 49 00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:24,920 Speaker 1: from brock Purty. 50 00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:26,440 Speaker 3: They're going to be paying him fifty plus million. 51 00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:30,079 Speaker 1: Now, how they maneuver that money, how they dish it out, 52 00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:34,040 Speaker 1: how much guaranteed, how much upfront money, how much is 53 00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:37,280 Speaker 1: injury guaranteed, et cetera, et cetera. That'll be up for debate, 54 00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:40,960 Speaker 1: but it'll be within the fifty to fifty five million 55 00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:43,600 Speaker 1: dollar ranges. I don't think it'll go to sixty. The 56 00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:47,919 Speaker 1: salary cap has jumped and it'll jump again. And quarterbacks always, 57 00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:51,080 Speaker 1: especially top quarterbacks, there are always a certain amount of 58 00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:55,320 Speaker 1: certain percentage of the cap. It's been getting really excessive 59 00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:58,200 Speaker 1: lately because they're closing in on like twenty four to 60 00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:01,480 Speaker 1: twenty five percent of the cap, but it's usually around 61 00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:03,919 Speaker 1: seventeen to twenty one percent of the cap it used 62 00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:07,040 Speaker 1: to be. Now that's kind of ballooned a little bit, 63 00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:10,440 Speaker 1: but I think he's gonna be around fifty to fifty 64 00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:13,640 Speaker 1: five million dollars. H Prague and John Lynch are gonna 65 00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:16,679 Speaker 1: figure out how to spread it out again. I'm sure 66 00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:20,480 Speaker 1: there are gonna be some some salary cap casualties this year. 67 00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:23,520 Speaker 1: I don't know who those guys will be. But that's 68 00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:25,400 Speaker 1: why you have to draft. Well, that's why you have 69 00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:28,360 Speaker 1: to to replenish your team through the draft and have 70 00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:30,160 Speaker 1: a lot of depth and have young guys ready to 71 00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:33,880 Speaker 1: step up because in order to be successful and sustainable 72 00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:35,680 Speaker 1: for a long time, that's the way you've got to 73 00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:38,600 Speaker 1: build your team. You're gonna pay guys you have good players, 74 00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:40,920 Speaker 1: you either let them walk or pay him. And you 75 00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:43,920 Speaker 1: could hear with the Dallas Cowboys now you hear them 76 00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:46,560 Speaker 1: talking Stephan Jones talking about they may not pay my 77 00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:50,480 Speaker 1: caparsons I said that this offseason they hadn't paid him yet. 78 00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:52,720 Speaker 3: So it doesn't look like they're gonna pay him. 79 00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:54,440 Speaker 1: They're gonna see if they can get a first round 80 00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:56,600 Speaker 1: or two for them and if somebody else wants to 81 00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:59,800 Speaker 1: pay him. And that's that's the unfortunate part in It's 82 00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:01,880 Speaker 1: like if they wanted to pay him, they would already 83 00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:04,200 Speaker 1: pay him, and the price is only going up. You know, 84 00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:07,600 Speaker 1: he's a great player. So I'd guess his demand is 85 00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:10,680 Speaker 1: thirty six thirty seven million dollars now, when before the 86 00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:12,840 Speaker 1: season it probably would have been thirty four to thirty five. 87 00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:15,960 Speaker 1: So I again think brock Perty's gonna get his money. 88 00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:18,680 Speaker 1: I think he's done a great job over you know, 89 00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:21,960 Speaker 1: a lot of his career, the majority of his career. Unfortunately, 90 00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:23,960 Speaker 1: this is a down year for him, This is an 91 00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:26,920 Speaker 1: off year. If we talk about stats and passer ratings, 92 00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:29,359 Speaker 1: he's still amongst the best in the National Football League. 93 00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:32,000 Speaker 1: And I think that's the part that's gonna help him. 94 00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:34,800 Speaker 1: I mean his passer rating compared to all the guys 95 00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:36,560 Speaker 1: we named, he's the top of all of them, one 96 00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:39,040 Speaker 1: hundred and six point three passer rating over his career. 97 00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:43,960 Speaker 1: That's fantastic football. He needs some offensive line help, he 98 00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:46,360 Speaker 1: needs a healthy roster. That's why you're paying all these 99 00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:48,240 Speaker 1: guys if you need him on the field in order 100 00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:50,880 Speaker 1: for your team to function the way they need to function. 101 00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:52,920 Speaker 1: And that's been a problem this year. And you can 102 00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:55,400 Speaker 1: say what you want about it, but that's how the 103 00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:57,720 Speaker 1: National Football League goes, Ladies and gentlemen. 104 00:04:57,760 --> 00:04:58,320 Speaker 3: I'm sorry. 105 00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:03,160 Speaker 1: Now we can keep to the Devondre Campbell fallout, John 106 00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:05,880 Speaker 1: Lynch officially announces that he'll be suspended for the rest 107 00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:09,119 Speaker 1: of the season, three games without pay. There are people 108 00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:12,120 Speaker 1: out there saying this is unfair, that this is not 109 00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:14,279 Speaker 1: how the world works. You shouldn't be able to stop him. 110 00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:18,000 Speaker 1: The NFLPA will likely appeal to this. To highly doubt it. 111 00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:23,200 Speaker 1: It's unprecedented territory, and when you're in unprecedented territory, you 112 00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:26,800 Speaker 1: get unprecedented punishment. And that's what's happening right now to 113 00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:30,599 Speaker 1: Devondre Campbell. He's not going to be rewarded for quitting 114 00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:33,360 Speaker 1: on his team because imagine the president that that sets 115 00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:35,960 Speaker 1: for other teams. Hey, you want to get out of here, 116 00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:37,920 Speaker 1: you want to go try to get on a playoff 117 00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:41,040 Speaker 1: team right before the season ends. Just walk out, Just 118 00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:43,520 Speaker 1: walk out the game on your team. You'll get cut, 119 00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:46,000 Speaker 1: somebody else will pick you up. You'll be playing in 120 00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:48,200 Speaker 1: the playoffs before you know it, and you might get 121 00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:48,640 Speaker 1: a ring. 122 00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:48,920 Speaker 3: Out of it. 123 00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:51,120 Speaker 1: I don't think the NFL wants that. I don't think 124 00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:53,480 Speaker 1: the NFLPA wants that. I don't think players want that. 125 00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:55,960 Speaker 1: They don't want guys quitting on their teams like this, 126 00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:58,599 Speaker 1: especially to get on to another team. 127 00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:00,159 Speaker 3: Now, you don't usually. 128 00:05:59,880 --> 00:06:02,560 Speaker 1: Have as much shatter as you have heard from the 129 00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:04,640 Speaker 1: San Francisco forty nine ers, but you can just tell 130 00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:07,719 Speaker 1: how much it hurt because this wasn't a blowout, This 131 00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:10,039 Speaker 1: wasn't a game that was out of hand. This is 132 00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:12,240 Speaker 1: what was a game that he could have impacted in 133 00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:14,880 Speaker 1: a positive way, and he chose to walk out in 134 00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:16,880 Speaker 1: a game he would have played a whole half of football. 135 00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:18,680 Speaker 1: He would have started for the second half, and he 136 00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:20,520 Speaker 1: would likely have started for the rest of the season. 137 00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:23,640 Speaker 1: But it is what it is. San Francisco forty nine 138 00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:25,440 Speaker 1: ers got to figure some things out. They're gonna likely 139 00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:28,359 Speaker 1: be playing for pride at this point and trust in 140 00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:30,200 Speaker 1: this team. You got to play for the guys that 141 00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:32,480 Speaker 1: are next to you, play for your spot next year, 142 00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:34,200 Speaker 1: show the coaches that you deserve to be on this 143 00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:37,719 Speaker 1: team the next season, and that your guy that regards 144 00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:39,680 Speaker 1: the circumstances will go out there and do his job 145 00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:45,680 Speaker 1: at a high level. Now I'll switch hats because we'll 146 00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:50,160 Speaker 1: talk about the Seattle Seahawks and Geno Smith. Mike McDonald 147 00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:53,280 Speaker 1: told reporters they're optimistic that he will be ready to 148 00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:56,920 Speaker 1: go against the Minnesota Vikings and that is great news 149 00:06:57,080 --> 00:07:01,200 Speaker 1: for the Seattle Seahawks, because I just don't think that 150 00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:04,200 Speaker 1: you want to see the other quarterbacks start another game. 151 00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:06,480 Speaker 1: I'm sorry. I know you're like, oh, he didn't have 152 00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:11,040 Speaker 1: the whole week. We saw enough. Gino Smith needs to 153 00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:14,680 Speaker 1: play against this Flores coach defense. His defense has played 154 00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:17,080 Speaker 1: well all season. They're going to bring a lot of 155 00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:20,440 Speaker 1: exotic looks, They're going to bring pressure. Geno handles it well. 156 00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:23,600 Speaker 1: Usually he's trying to stay in the pocket. He's delivering 157 00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:26,920 Speaker 1: the ball on time if he can, and if he's playing, 158 00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:29,000 Speaker 1: it gives the Seattle Seahawks the best chance to win. 159 00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:32,720 Speaker 1: And I'm happy to hear that. It's a lot better 160 00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:35,360 Speaker 1: than people thought. Then I thought because if the way 161 00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:37,040 Speaker 1: he walked off and not able to come back into 162 00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:40,640 Speaker 1: the game, it was really concerning because usually that means 163 00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:43,720 Speaker 1: it's a longer term injury. So, thank goodness, Gino's gonna 164 00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:47,360 Speaker 1: be okay. Right now, they're tied with the Rams at 165 00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:49,720 Speaker 1: the top of the NFC West, but the Rams hold 166 00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:52,480 Speaker 1: the tiebreaker obviously if they play at the end of 167 00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:55,000 Speaker 1: the season, and if the Seahawks can win a couple 168 00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:57,040 Speaker 1: and the Rams win a couple and they're both. Even 169 00:07:57,280 --> 00:07:59,240 Speaker 1: then their last game will be for all the marbles. 170 00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:02,400 Speaker 1: More than likely, we'll see how that goes. The Rams 171 00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:06,840 Speaker 1: play the Jets, Cardinals, and Seahawks. Those aren't considered tough 172 00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:11,120 Speaker 1: tasks for the Rams. Seahawks play Vikings, Bears, and then 173 00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:15,240 Speaker 1: Rams again. This Vikings game is the toughest of all 174 00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:18,160 Speaker 1: those games, so we'll see. They played really well tonight 175 00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:21,880 Speaker 1: against the Bears. Started off slow, Sam Darnold battled his 176 00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:24,520 Speaker 1: way through that game. They ran the ball, Aaron Jones 177 00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:27,400 Speaker 1: ran the ball really well. That defense made some plays, 178 00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:31,080 Speaker 1: pressure Caleb Williams into an early turnover early in that game, 179 00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:35,400 Speaker 1: came up with a crucial staying late deep into their 180 00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:38,800 Speaker 1: red zone to hold the Vikings to three. They're playing 181 00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:42,040 Speaker 1: good football and it's gonna be a really tough task 182 00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:43,800 Speaker 1: for the Seattle Seahawks to go in there and then 183 00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:46,600 Speaker 1: get a victory. But if they can, that keeps their 184 00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:49,120 Speaker 1: playoff hopes alive in a big way. A loss of 185 00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:52,920 Speaker 1: the Vikings really puts a damper on their playoff chances. 186 00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:55,720 Speaker 1: Unless the Rams stumble through one of those two games 187 00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:57,760 Speaker 1: between the Jets and the Cardinals. 188 00:08:57,520 --> 00:08:58,600 Speaker 3: That'll probably be it. 189 00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:01,319 Speaker 1: So this Vikings game pretty much for all the marbles 190 00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:03,040 Speaker 1: for the Seattle Seahawks. They got to bind a way 191 00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:05,720 Speaker 1: to get this win, and if they do, then they'll 192 00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:07,600 Speaker 1: have a chance to be playing in the postseason, and 193 00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:11,640 Speaker 1: likely if they get back into the postseason, they'll likely 194 00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:15,520 Speaker 1: have another another chance to play that same Packers team 195 00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:17,120 Speaker 1: that it looked like they kind of figured it out 196 00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:19,160 Speaker 1: in that second half, So we'll see how that goes 197 00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:20,680 Speaker 1: Seattle Seahawks fans. 198 00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:24,480 Speaker 2: It's the most wonderful time of the year for getting 199 00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:27,559 Speaker 2: in on all the hoops, football, and hockey action at 200 00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:31,720 Speaker 2: DraftKings Sportsbook and the season of giving.

The Chicago Bears four and ten continue 245 00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:08,000 Speaker 1: to struggle. Obviously, all the prayers and all the thoughts 246 00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:10,440 Speaker 1: go out to Randy Mallis and everything that he's going through. 247 00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:13,600 Speaker 1: A great Hall of famer, a great person, a guy 248 00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:15,360 Speaker 1: that played the game the right way, that lived the 249 00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:18,680 Speaker 1: game the right way, and we hope that he finds 250 00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:21,319 Speaker 1: himself in good health and he beats this and wins 251 00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:24,000 Speaker 1: this battle that he's going through. He was an idol 252 00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:28,600 Speaker 1: of mind growing up when I play receiver, So thoughts 253 00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:32,240 Speaker 1: and prayers. I hope it all goes great Randy. The 254 00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:35,480 Speaker 1: Vikings played in his honor today. We saw Chris Carter 255 00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:38,959 Speaker 1: and Jake Reid come out with his jersey pre game. 256 00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:43,120 Speaker 1: He saw all the players represent But this was a 257 00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:44,560 Speaker 1: good win for the Minnesota Vikings. 258 00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:45,360 Speaker 3: It's a great season. 259 00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:47,960 Speaker 1: I don't think anybody saw the Minnesota Vikings going twelve 260 00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:50,600 Speaker 1: and two at this point in the season, especially losing 261 00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:51,680 Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins the way. 262 00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:53,560 Speaker 3: They did Flores. 263 00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:56,319 Speaker 1: You know, this defense doesn't have a ton of big names, 264 00:12:56,960 --> 00:13:00,120 Speaker 1: but they got a lot of guys playing really good football, 265 00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:04,240 Speaker 1: and probably their best football. Jonathan Grenard and Jallas Turner 266 00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:06,920 Speaker 1: both had a sack in the game. Sam Darnold twenty 267 00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:10,160 Speaker 1: four or forty one touchdown, one interception, two hundred and 268 00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:13,199 Speaker 1: thirty one yards. Aaron Jones eighteen carries eighty six yards 269 00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:16,920 Speaker 1: in a touchdown. Justin Jefferson seven catches seventy three yards 270 00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:21,040 Speaker 1: in a touchdown. Caleb Williams a solid game eighteen for 271 00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:23,679 Speaker 1: thirty one one hundred and ninety one yards, one touchdown, 272 00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:27,600 Speaker 1: but he was you know, he got sacked a few times. 273 00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:28,040 Speaker 3: Again. 274 00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:30,680 Speaker 1: It's just a struggle of a season for the Chicago Bears. 275 00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:33,640 Speaker 1: They they've lost eight in a row on one seven 276 00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:36,480 Speaker 1: on the road. Obviously, they got a number of things 277 00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:39,000 Speaker 1: they need to fix. They've already fired their coach. Pete 278 00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:42,000 Speaker 1: Carroll is a name that I've heard that is at 279 00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:45,840 Speaker 1: least interested in getting the Chicago I'm sure Chicago job. 280 00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:48,280 Speaker 1: I think there will be a number of coaches that'll 281 00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:51,080 Speaker 1: be interested in that job. They have a really talented 282 00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:53,800 Speaker 1: receiving core, they have a talented defense, a lot of 283 00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:55,760 Speaker 1: great pieces that you can build around, a lot of 284 00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:58,719 Speaker 1: great pieces you're gonna you can win with. And I'm 285 00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:01,800 Speaker 1: looking forward to seeing who they pick as their coordinator. Obviously, 286 00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:04,480 Speaker 1: Ben Johnson and Aaron Glenn of the Detroit Lions will 287 00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:07,680 Speaker 1: be names that come up in that discussion. We'll see 288 00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:09,440 Speaker 1: how they go. We'll see where they go with that. 289 00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:12,160 Speaker 1: But another good game for the Vikings again, we just 290 00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:15,400 Speaker 1: talked about them. They played the Seattle Seahawks in Seattle 291 00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:19,120 Speaker 1: again next week. I'm looking forward to that game. I 292 00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:22,560 Speaker 1: can't wait. The Bears host the Lions. Might be their 293 00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:23,600 Speaker 1: ninth loss in a row. 294 00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:24,600 Speaker 3: I don't know. 295 00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:31,000 Speaker 1: Unfortunately, though, the Detroit Lions are now gonna be without 296 00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:33,760 Speaker 1: David Montgomery for the rest of the season, and he's 297 00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:35,000 Speaker 1: sprained his MCL. 298 00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:38,400 Speaker 3: That's unfortunate. 299 00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:41,360 Speaker 1: You know, Sonic and Knuckles have been a really great 300 00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:44,320 Speaker 1: combination all season long, and I was looking forward to seeing. 301 00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:46,880 Speaker 3: How they pan out in the playoffs. 302 00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:48,840 Speaker 1: You know, that's when you need to run the football, 303 00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:51,000 Speaker 1: That's when you need to lean on your run game. Obviously, 304 00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:53,080 Speaker 1: a lot of the weight is gonna fall on Jamior 305 00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:53,880 Speaker 1: gibbs shoulders. 306 00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:56,200 Speaker 3: Now he's gonna have to carry a heavier load. 307 00:14:56,480 --> 00:14:58,400 Speaker 1: He's gonna have to do more for this offense, and 308 00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:01,320 Speaker 1: he's already been doing a ton for this They also 309 00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:06,520 Speaker 1: lost another defensive player, detackle Allan McNeil torn his ACL 310 00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:10,120 Speaker 1: out for the season. Carlton Davis is out indefinitely with 311 00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:13,800 Speaker 1: a fractor jaw Khalil Dorsey out for the year with 312 00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:17,680 Speaker 1: an ankle injury. The Lions already have thirteen different defensive 313 00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:21,120 Speaker 1: players on IR heading into. 314 00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:21,680 Speaker 3: The Bills game. 315 00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:25,360 Speaker 1: Nobody Dan Campbell says nobody cares. Nobody's gonna give us 316 00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:27,800 Speaker 1: a pass or an asterisk next to their record and 317 00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:31,160 Speaker 1: He's right, nobody cares. But that's a lot of injuries 318 00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:32,800 Speaker 1: on the defensive side of the football. That's a lot 319 00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:35,120 Speaker 1: of injuries on a team to put on ir but 320 00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:37,880 Speaker 1: that's a lot of injuries on defense. We'll see if 321 00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:40,720 Speaker 1: they can continue to overcome that. Obviously they weren't able 322 00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:42,640 Speaker 1: to in the Buffalo Bills game. They battled in that 323 00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:45,200 Speaker 1: game when they lost by seven points. Their offense scores 324 00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:49,360 Speaker 1: forty two points in that game. But what I really 325 00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:52,600 Speaker 1: want to talk about if all of these Dan Campbell 326 00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:57,360 Speaker 1: haters coming out of their woodworks, it's like, now everybody's 327 00:15:57,400 --> 00:16:01,200 Speaker 1: like saying, you have to play mentally sound football, and 328 00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:02,920 Speaker 1: you have to. You can't go for it on fourth 329 00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:06,120 Speaker 1: you can't do things that are unexpected. That's not super 330 00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:10,040 Speaker 1: Bowl winning. That's not gonna win you super Bowls. I 331 00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:14,720 Speaker 1: don't know about that, especially coming from Acho a Cho's 332 00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:18,800 Speaker 1: watched the Philadelphia Eagles and Doug Peterson in a game 333 00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:22,160 Speaker 1: against the New England Patriots. Doug Peterson and the Philadelphia 334 00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:25,320 Speaker 1: Eagles that year went for and on fourth down as 335 00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:28,640 Speaker 1: much as anyone. They were second in the league, and 336 00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:30,280 Speaker 1: they went forward and went forward and went for it. 337 00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:32,920 Speaker 1: They were going forward on fourth down all the time 338 00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:35,320 Speaker 1: and just living by the edge of their seats, because 339 00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:39,240 Speaker 1: why not if you have the momentum, everybody else loses 340 00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:41,600 Speaker 1: to There are people that do it exactly as you should. Hey, 341 00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:43,640 Speaker 1: we're gonna kick it on fourth and three from the three. 342 00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:45,640 Speaker 1: We're gonna kick it every fourth down. Hey, we're just 343 00:16:45,640 --> 00:16:47,640 Speaker 1: gonna kick it. We're gonna kick field goals. We're gonna 344 00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:51,200 Speaker 1: punt the ball and they go home. It's not like 345 00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:53,840 Speaker 1: that's a strategy that guarantees you success. 346 00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:56,920 Speaker 3: It doesn't. This strategy doesn't guarantee you failure. 347 00:16:57,560 --> 00:17:00,400 Speaker 1: It's just like when the when the Warriors start shooting 348 00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:03,400 Speaker 1: threes and they start shooting a boatload of threes, a 349 00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:05,600 Speaker 1: boatload of threes, and everybody's like, this is gonna work 350 00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:08,160 Speaker 1: in the playoffs. It never works in the playoffs. Every oh, 351 00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:10,240 Speaker 1: this is gonna this is gonna stop. They're gonna get 352 00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:12,280 Speaker 1: beat by a team that just dominates them in the paint. 353 00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:15,640 Speaker 1: And then the Warriors had a dynasty, and now everybody's 354 00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:18,840 Speaker 1: shooting threes, and now people forget that you used to 355 00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:20,960 Speaker 1: play from the post. You used to Oh, it used 356 00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:23,119 Speaker 1: to be mid range. You have to drive the basketball. 357 00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:25,520 Speaker 1: You couldn't just live on Live and die by threes. 358 00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:30,080 Speaker 1: It's changed, literally changed the way basketball is played on 359 00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:32,400 Speaker 1: a lot of levels, for better or for worse. It's 360 00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:36,520 Speaker 1: changed it. But before it was unthinkable that this strategy 361 00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:40,480 Speaker 1: would work. And so Doug Peterson in that Super Bowl. 362 00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:43,760 Speaker 1: Everybody remembers the Philly Special in that crazy play right 363 00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:44,400 Speaker 1: before the half. 364 00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:46,440 Speaker 3: They were up fifteen to twelve. 365 00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:50,119 Speaker 1: It was fourth down, about twenty seven or so seconds 366 00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:53,520 Speaker 1: to go in the half, fourth down from the one. 367 00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:57,959 Speaker 1: They run a Philly Special on fourth down and get it, 368 00:17:58,520 --> 00:17:59,400 Speaker 1: score a touchdown. 369 00:17:59,480 --> 00:17:59,919 Speaker 3: Now they're in. 370 00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:03,600 Speaker 1: Instead of being up six points, they're up ten points, 371 00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:07,400 Speaker 1: and they win the super Bowl that year. That's risk, Oh, 372 00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:09,760 Speaker 1: that's unnecessary risk. They shouldn't have done that. They should 373 00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:13,520 Speaker 1: have kicked it. They won the super Bowl. We could 374 00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:16,600 Speaker 1: talk about last year's Wildcard round when the Lions went 375 00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:19,000 Speaker 1: for it on fourth and one in the second quarter. 376 00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:22,200 Speaker 1: Sam Laporter scored a touchdown, and that on that play 377 00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:24,639 Speaker 1: they could have kicked the field goal. They won that 378 00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:28,640 Speaker 1: game by one point. So again, when you sit here 379 00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:32,000 Speaker 1: and say all this craziness, are you saying you don't 380 00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:34,080 Speaker 1: want teams to go for it on fourth down? Because 381 00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:40,359 Speaker 1: you think that strategy is unsustainable. Perhaps, but not going 382 00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:43,160 Speaker 1: going forward on fourth down has lost people games too, 383 00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:45,200 Speaker 1: So there are two sides of the coin. There are 384 00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:48,000 Speaker 1: times teams go for it and get it and it 385 00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:51,000 Speaker 1: propels them to the next round. And there are times 386 00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:54,159 Speaker 1: that they don't go for it and they kicked the 387 00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:56,439 Speaker 1: field goal and they take the points and they go 388 00:18:56,560 --> 00:18:58,679 Speaker 1: home anyway, because they played it by the book, And 389 00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:01,040 Speaker 1: all people can say is they played it by the book. 390 00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:04,719 Speaker 1: They did what they should have done, but maybe they 391 00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:07,760 Speaker 1: should have gone for it, Like hindsight is always twenty twenty. 392 00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:12,280 Speaker 1: But was the on side kick unnecessary? Yes, because the 393 00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:15,240 Speaker 1: strategy isn't what it used to be. But when Sean 394 00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:17,760 Speaker 1: Payton kicked an on side kick against Peyton Manning and 395 00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:20,400 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl and it works and the Saints going 396 00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:23,560 Speaker 1: to win their first Super Bowl in franchise history, it's 397 00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:27,800 Speaker 1: a legendary play because he was a risk taker. And 398 00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:30,920 Speaker 1: now that's how legends are born, that's how tides changed. 399 00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:35,159 Speaker 1: If the Lions win the Super Bowl playing it this way, 400 00:19:35,359 --> 00:19:37,640 Speaker 1: it's going to change the way a lot of teams play, 401 00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:41,439 Speaker 1: because what do you have to lose? Everybody's done it 402 00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:45,560 Speaker 1: the same way for so long. Eventually things have to adapt, 403 00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:48,320 Speaker 1: things have to change, things have to evolve, and maybe 404 00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:51,200 Speaker 1: this is the next evolution and iteration of the NFL. 405 00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:54,080 Speaker 1: Maybe this is what the three point shot was in 406 00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:57,080 Speaker 1: the NBA. And you sit there and say every team 407 00:19:57,119 --> 00:19:59,760 Speaker 1: has four downs and you got to live with it. 408 00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:00,760 Speaker 3: You're gonna live with it. 409 00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:04,439 Speaker 1: If not, then you're going home anyway, Like, there are 410 00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:06,160 Speaker 1: a lot of bad teams out there that are doing 411 00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:07,840 Speaker 1: everything by the book. Hey, we kick it when we're 412 00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:10,119 Speaker 1: supposed to, where we punting when we're supposed to. We 413 00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:12,280 Speaker 1: don't go for it, we don't take unnecessary risks. And 414 00:20:12,359 --> 00:20:14,720 Speaker 1: guess what they've they've got four wins on the season. 415 00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:18,320 Speaker 1: So let's not go there with that because I don't 416 00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:20,240 Speaker 1: think that's the right way to see it. But we're 417 00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:22,639 Speaker 1: gonna keep moving forward and move on to the Kansas 418 00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:26,600 Speaker 1: City Chiefs. Matt Ryan says they should sit Mahomes. I'm 419 00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:28,920 Speaker 1: not totally against that, but you gotta win this next one. 420 00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:33,520 Speaker 1: You gotta win this next one to clinch and if 421 00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:36,280 Speaker 1: they win the next one and they clinch the number 422 00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:39,360 Speaker 1: one seed, then then you can sit him. But if 423 00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:41,400 Speaker 1: he's able to play, I think you have to play 424 00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:44,000 Speaker 1: him unless you feel comfortable putting Carson Wentz in there 425 00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:46,880 Speaker 1: and letting him go. I think you have to play him, 426 00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:49,040 Speaker 1: but you know I'm not the coach. Andy Reid has 427 00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:51,760 Speaker 1: usually played in. Patrick Mahomes has been injured before in 428 00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:54,639 Speaker 1: the playoffs or right before the playoffs, he's usually played, 429 00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:58,679 Speaker 1: so I would guess he's gonna play. They play Houston, Pittsburgh, 430 00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:02,119 Speaker 1: and the Broncos. The Broncos are a scary team and 431 00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:04,360 Speaker 1: you don't want to lose those three games. It's not 432 00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:07,240 Speaker 1: like you've lived in blown teams out this season and 433 00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:11,159 Speaker 1: played some world beater football. There have been nail biders 434 00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:14,840 Speaker 1: throughout this season, throughout every single week, whether the team 435 00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:18,760 Speaker 1: is good or not good by record standards, they've usually 436 00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:20,600 Speaker 1: struggled and it's come down to the end. And you 437 00:21:20,640 --> 00:21:23,440 Speaker 1: don't want Patrick mahone sitting on the sideline with a 438 00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:27,639 Speaker 1: sweatsuit on when those moments come, especially against teams that 439 00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:31,080 Speaker 1: you could potentially see in the playoffs. The problems that 440 00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:33,880 Speaker 1: you're gonna have again are your offensive line. You're left 441 00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:36,720 Speaker 1: and right tackle, and you're talking about two of the 442 00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:39,480 Speaker 1: premier pass rushers in the National Football League in Houston, 443 00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:41,720 Speaker 1: so again I see why he wants to send him. 444 00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:45,360 Speaker 1: Having these Kansas City Chiefs tackles deal with Will Anderson 445 00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:48,840 Speaker 1: and Daniel Hunter. Do you really want a banged up 446 00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:51,800 Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes trying to evade those guys. 447 00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:53,240 Speaker 3: Probably not. 448 00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:56,920 Speaker 1: But also do you want Carson Wentz out there dealing 449 00:21:56,960 --> 00:22:00,720 Speaker 1: with that and potentially you lose this game, you lose 450 00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:03,520 Speaker 1: the next game against the Pittsburgh Steelers team. Now they 451 00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:06,320 Speaker 1: may be without TJ. Watt, that's still up in the air. 452 00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:09,679 Speaker 1: But the next three games, the Chiefs play against some 453 00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:12,400 Speaker 1: of the premier pass rushers in the National Football League. 454 00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:14,879 Speaker 1: Bendo for the Broncos, the second in the league in 455 00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:17,240 Speaker 1: sacks with eleven and a half they got I think 456 00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:19,639 Speaker 1: they got five guys with at least five sacks for 457 00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:22,880 Speaker 1: the Broncos, you talk about Alex high Smith, Cam Hayward, 458 00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:27,639 Speaker 1: Preston Smith. Now with the Steelers, there's not gonna get 459 00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:32,400 Speaker 1: any breaks. So if you rest them, you don't rest them. 460 00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:34,800 Speaker 1: These are gonna be really, really tough games to win 461 00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:36,359 Speaker 1: if those tackles can't stand up. 462 00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:37,920 Speaker 3: But what about the league. 463 00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:40,800 Speaker 1: The league is doing a great, great job of scheduling 464 00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:45,000 Speaker 1: these games. The Steelers, Chiefs Texans Ravens all have to 465 00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:49,919 Speaker 1: play three games in eleven days, and they're all meaningful games. 466 00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:52,439 Speaker 1: If they lose win, there could be a lot of 467 00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:56,160 Speaker 1: movement in terms of seeding. The Steelers can go from 468 00:22:56,560 --> 00:23:00,399 Speaker 1: you know, leading the North to fighting for a playoff spot. 469 00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:03,400 Speaker 1: If they lose a number of these games. The Ravens 470 00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:06,600 Speaker 1: could be from go from five to six seed to 471 00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:10,440 Speaker 1: three seed, two seed, depending on how these games shake out. 472 00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:13,360 Speaker 1: That's why you love the National Football League. Obviously, Buffalo 473 00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:17,560 Speaker 1: is gonna have a great, great chance, easier schedule right now, 474 00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:19,560 Speaker 1: and if they win their games, they'll likely be the 475 00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:22,560 Speaker 1: one or two seed. The Chiefs have probably stay the 476 00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:24,440 Speaker 1: one seed if they can win one of these last 477 00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:25,160 Speaker 1: three games. 478 00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:27,320 Speaker 3: I'm excited. I'm excited. 479 00:23:27,359 --> 00:23:30,680 Speaker 1: It's the most wonderful time of the year, not only 480 00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:35,000 Speaker 1: because it's Christmas, but because the schedule is so phenomenal. 481 00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:41,000 Speaker 1: We're gonna get a lot of answers here soon. Now 482 00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:44,320 Speaker 1: stim to move on to some college football. Obviously, there's 483 00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:46,720 Speaker 1: a lot of discussion about Trav Hunter winning your Heisman. 484 00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:52,600 Speaker 1: Deserve special talent, generational talent, never seen it before. Receiver, 485 00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:56,480 Speaker 1: you know, in ninety two catches over a thousand yard 486 00:23:56,760 --> 00:24:01,360 Speaker 1: fourteen touchdowns at corner have been up for the Thorpe 487 00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:03,840 Speaker 1: you know, won all the worst defensive player of the year, 488 00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:06,880 Speaker 1: Offensive player of the year in Heisman. I think it's 489 00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:08,640 Speaker 1: gonna be a really long time before we ever see 490 00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:12,960 Speaker 1: anything like that again. So congratulations to him. Now I'm 491 00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:18,119 Speaker 1: hearing CJ. Stroud wants Derek Stingley to play receiver because 492 00:24:18,119 --> 00:24:20,359 Speaker 1: of his elite ball tracking ability. 493 00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:23,760 Speaker 3: I love it. Give him a shot. He's a heck 494 00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:24,440 Speaker 3: of an athlete. 495 00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:28,000 Speaker 1: Obviously, they've had some injuries that fin Diggs's out for 496 00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:29,680 Speaker 1: the season, Nico Collins. 497 00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:31,639 Speaker 3: Was out for a while. Give him a shot. 498 00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:34,119 Speaker 1: I'm always happy to see a corner play both sides 499 00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:37,200 Speaker 1: and make an impact. I mean, Travis Hunter winning the Heisman. 500 00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:41,680 Speaker 1: Maybe that's inspiring people to say, let's break these football 501 00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:44,280 Speaker 1: rules and put guys out there and give him a 502 00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:47,160 Speaker 1: chance to make plays on both sides of the football. 503 00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:51,119 Speaker 1: The more the merrier. I'm happy for it. But again, 504 00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:57,280 Speaker 1: this transfer portal stuff is insane. Penn State's Bowl prabula 505 00:24:57,880 --> 00:25:01,800 Speaker 1: enters the transfer portal less than a week before they 506 00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:08,560 Speaker 1: play the college Football playoff game versus SMU. Why I 507 00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:11,840 Speaker 1: don't get that because it's not like you're leaving for 508 00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:13,359 Speaker 1: the draft or you're saying, hey, I don't want to 509 00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:15,320 Speaker 1: get injured going into the NFL. I could kind of 510 00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:19,159 Speaker 1: respect that, But you've battled all season long to get 511 00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:22,119 Speaker 1: to the playoffs. You got a chance to win a 512 00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:25,440 Speaker 1: national championship or at least compete for one, and you're 513 00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:27,040 Speaker 1: leaving like that. 514 00:25:27,320 --> 00:25:30,080 Speaker 3: That's a bad look. There's no way you. 515 00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:33,040 Speaker 1: Could justify that and say that's a good look wherever 516 00:25:33,040 --> 00:25:35,960 Speaker 1: you're transferring to whatever team you're playing going to play for. 517 00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:39,320 Speaker 1: I think Penn State had him in the game plan 518 00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:42,679 Speaker 1: against SMU. When you leave, you leave your teammates. You 519 00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:45,280 Speaker 1: quit on your teammates to go somewhere else. I mean, 520 00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:48,400 Speaker 1: I feel like NFL teams have to take that into 521 00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:51,120 Speaker 1: consideration when talking about drafting these kids. And thinking about 522 00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:52,920 Speaker 1: drafting these kids, it's got to be some kind of 523 00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:56,040 Speaker 1: competitive makeup where I'm like, hey, I'm gonna come finish 524 00:25:56,040 --> 00:25:58,320 Speaker 1: these playoffs and I'm gonna get what I earned because 525 00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:00,359 Speaker 1: I battled all this time my teammates, And if I 526 00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:03,000 Speaker 1: want to leave, I'm gonna leave after we get eliminated, 527 00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:03,600 Speaker 1: not before. 528 00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:05,480 Speaker 3: I'm not gonna leave before I do. 529 00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:07,440 Speaker 1: All this work and then be like, all right, fellas, 530 00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:10,240 Speaker 1: we did everything, We did what we said we would do. 531 00:26:10,280 --> 00:26:13,439 Speaker 3: We made the playoffs. But y'all, good luck, Mike. I 532 00:26:13,440 --> 00:26:13,800 Speaker 3: don't know. 533 00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:16,320 Speaker 1: I never thought i'd be the guy saying this generation, 534 00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:18,679 Speaker 1: but what's wrong with these dudes? 535 00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:21,000 Speaker 3: Man? What the heck is wrong with these dudes? I 536 00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:21,679 Speaker 3: don't get that. 537 00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:25,560 Speaker 1: But now it's time for our Thursday night football preview 538 00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:29,840 Speaker 1: presented by Prime Video. The Denver Broncos are playing the 539 00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:36,840 Speaker 1: La Chargers. The Denver Broncos are playing great football defensively. Offensively, 540 00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:39,720 Speaker 1: bow Knicks had a really really grind of a game 541 00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:43,400 Speaker 1: through three interceptions, but again they found a way to win. 542 00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:45,960 Speaker 1: They found a way for their defense to step up 543 00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:50,359 Speaker 1: and make plays again. Nick Bonito has a pick six 544 00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:54,359 Speaker 1: in a game, is second this season along with his 545 00:26:54,440 --> 00:26:56,680 Speaker 1: eleven and a half sacks. If you knew the name, 546 00:26:57,080 --> 00:26:59,320 Speaker 1: we'd be talking about an All Pro season for the kid. 547 00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:00,520 Speaker 1: But I think he's going to be a couple of 548 00:27:00,560 --> 00:27:03,520 Speaker 1: years away because people just don't know enough about him 549 00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:07,120 Speaker 1: and the Denver Broncos. Obviously, him and Cooper have been 550 00:27:07,119 --> 00:27:10,680 Speaker 1: playing really outstanding on the edges for the Broncos. Broncos 551 00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:13,879 Speaker 1: have a four game winning streak. The Chargers have dropped 552 00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:16,119 Speaker 1: two in the row. But this is gonna be a 553 00:27:16,160 --> 00:27:19,520 Speaker 1: game with a lot of ramifications for the end of 554 00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:22,800 Speaker 1: this season, for this division, for the playoff seeding, etc. 555 00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:26,760 Speaker 1: Both of these teams have really really good defenses, have 556 00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:31,760 Speaker 1: pretty average sporadic offenses, but I love a great defensive game. 557 00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:34,919 Speaker 1: Hopefully we get to see Patrick certain get into this 558 00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:38,960 Speaker 1: ball game. Obviously he's questionable with an injury. The Chargers 559 00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:41,760 Speaker 1: defense has been playing really good football, with some really 560 00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:45,879 Speaker 1: unsung heroes out at the edges and at the cornerback position, 561 00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:47,720 Speaker 1: some fifth round picks that are playing at a really 562 00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:50,080 Speaker 1: high level. I think it's gonna come down to the 563 00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:53,880 Speaker 1: pass rushers getting home. Justin Herbert on a bum leg 564 00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:56,520 Speaker 1: He's on a bum ankle, He's battling through, showing a 565 00:27:56,520 --> 00:27:59,560 Speaker 1: lot of toughness. I'm looking forward to this game and 566 00:27:59,560 --> 00:28:02,439 Speaker 1: seeing who can step up when it matters the most. 567 00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:05,959 Speaker 1: This is where champions are made, this is when legends 568 00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:09,320 Speaker 1: are made. December football. Usually it's not in a dome, 569 00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:12,560 Speaker 1: but hey, so far is a beautiful stadium. I can't wait. 570 00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:16,560 Speaker 1: But that was this week's Thursday Night Football preview. Presented 571 00:28:16,600 --> 00:28:19,800 Speaker 1: by Prime Video, and be sure to watch the Broncos 572 00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:24,520 Speaker 1: take on the Chargers this Thursday. I'll be there. It'll 573 00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:27,760 Speaker 1: be entertaining, for sure. It'll be an entertaining game and 574 00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:32,679 Speaker 1: an entertaining show by the best crew in football. Of 575 00:28:32,680 --> 00:28:36,800 Speaker 1: course I'm biased. Now it's time for my power rankings. 576 00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:40,080 Speaker 1: Oh it's gonna be a really tough call because Mitchell 577 00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:44,160 Speaker 1: is Detroit Honolulu Blue. Detroit Lions have been on a tear. 578 00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:47,440 Speaker 1: They take a bad loss, I mean not an awful loss, 579 00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:51,080 Speaker 1: because Buffalo bill are a really good team and they're 580 00:28:51,160 --> 00:28:53,360 Speaker 1: up there in the power rankings too, but I gotta 581 00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:55,720 Speaker 1: move them down. They now have two losses on the season. 582 00:28:55,880 --> 00:28:58,600 Speaker 1: I'm gonna move the Kansas City Chiefs up, even though 583 00:28:58,840 --> 00:29:02,840 Speaker 1: again they've hadwhelming wins, but they still only have one 584 00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:05,840 Speaker 1: loss on the season. There's a bunch of two loss teams. 585 00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:08,719 Speaker 1: The Philadelphia Eagles are gonna be two. They're playing some 586 00:29:08,760 --> 00:29:11,840 Speaker 1: really great football and impressive win versus the Pittsburgh Steelers 587 00:29:12,120 --> 00:29:15,160 Speaker 1: puts them there. I gotta put Buffalo at three win 588 00:29:15,240 --> 00:29:18,040 Speaker 1: against the number one team in our power rankings, but 589 00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:21,080 Speaker 1: they're still they still have three losses on the season. 590 00:29:21,560 --> 00:29:23,320 Speaker 1: Then I'm gonna then it's gonna be tough, but I'm 591 00:29:23,360 --> 00:29:26,000 Speaker 1: gonna have to put the Minnesota Vikings in there. 592 00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:27,720 Speaker 3: At four, they're twelve and two. 593 00:29:28,560 --> 00:29:31,920 Speaker 1: Again, that Flores coach defense, Sam Darnold doing enough, Kevin 594 00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:35,480 Speaker 1: O'Connell drawing it up, justin, Jefferson continuing to make plays, 595 00:29:35,560 --> 00:29:39,200 Speaker 1: Jordan Addison flourishing. You gotta appreciate what they're doing out there, 596 00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:41,880 Speaker 1: and then we gotta have the Detroit Lions backing it up. 597 00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:44,360 Speaker 1: At five, that defense has just struggled so much and 598 00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:47,280 Speaker 1: they're getting more and more banged up every single week. 599 00:29:47,720 --> 00:29:49,959 Speaker 1: Hopefully they're able to turn it around and figure out 600 00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:52,280 Speaker 1: a way. Aaron Glenn is doing everything he can to 601 00:29:52,440 --> 00:29:56,240 Speaker 1: duct tape and and hold this defense together with band 602 00:29:56,240 --> 00:30:00,280 Speaker 1: aids and bubblegum. But if they can find a to 603 00:30:00,280 --> 00:30:03,040 Speaker 1: get healthy going into these playoffs, they are gonna be 604 00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:04,960 Speaker 1: a tough team to beat. And I'm sure they'll move up, 605 00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:07,120 Speaker 1: but we have to bump them down with a loss 606 00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:09,800 Speaker 1: where they give up that many points they gave up 607 00:30:10,600 --> 00:30:12,320 Speaker 1: was it forty eight points in that game? 608 00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:14,200 Speaker 3: That's tough. That's tough. 609 00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:18,240 Speaker 1: Obviously, Buffalo's offense is a really impressive offense. And Detroit's 610 00:30:18,280 --> 00:30:20,560 Speaker 1: offense was able to score forty two points. Jared golf 611 00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:23,000 Speaker 1: through for almost five hundred yards. We give them credit 612 00:30:23,040 --> 00:30:25,840 Speaker 1: for that, but you got to find a way to 613 00:30:25,840 --> 00:30:27,440 Speaker 1: win these games. You gotta find a way to hold 614 00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:30,280 Speaker 1: the scores down. I'm sure Detroit will finish this season 615 00:30:30,320 --> 00:30:33,560 Speaker 1: off strong, hopefully continue to go move towards that number 616 00:30:33,560 --> 00:30:35,560 Speaker 1: one seed, and they will move closer to the number 617 00:30:35,640 --> 00:30:37,080 Speaker 1: one rankings in. 618 00:30:37,040 --> 00:30:39,560 Speaker 3: These power rankings. Yeah, I know how it is. 619 00:30:40,080 --> 00:30:44,040 Speaker 1: I appreciate you guys every week joining me, supporting me, 620 00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:48,880 Speaker 1: watching me, arguing with me, disagreeing with me.
