11
00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:47,320
Speaker 1: here we are Monday Night football. Yes, scintillating battle, a

12
00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:51,440
Speaker 1: flugame that you are watching because it's on. Hey, Rogers

13
00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:56,200
Speaker 1: is almost perfect. Rogers is Aaron Rodgers tonight, sixteen out

14
00:00:56,240 --> 00:01:00,440
Speaker 1: of seventeen throwing the football. The Steelers lead the Dolphins

15
00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:04,160
Speaker 1: fourteen to three midway through the third quarter. But this

16
00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:06,560
Speaker 1: was supposed to be the Jalen Warren flu game. It

17
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:08,400
Speaker 1: was supposed to be that, and now it's not.

18
00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:11,000
Speaker 3: He was only supposed to blow the bloody doors though.

19
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:13,240
Speaker 1: It was supposed to be the Jalen Warren flu game,

20
00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:15,959
Speaker 1: and now this isn't. He's barely touching the football. They

21
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:17,240
Speaker 1: did give it to him twice in the goal and

22
00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:18,720
Speaker 1: he couldn't get in. He see, I'm watching it.

23
00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:19,679
Speaker 2: He didn't move forward.

24
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:23,840
Speaker 1: Kenneth Gainwell catching every other pass and Rogers, Hey, look

25
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:25,800
Speaker 1: at this, Look at me. It's a Dolphins defense.

26
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:26,320
Speaker 2: We're at home.

27
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:29,200
Speaker 1: I'm still good. I'm watching. This is supposed to be

28
00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:30,400
Speaker 1: the Jalen Warren flu game.

29
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:33,399
Speaker 4: Was this one of those where you celebrate the fortitude

30
00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:36,720
Speaker 4: of the Miami run defense to stiffen up or do

31
00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:39,399
Speaker 4: you just say the hell's wrong with your offensive line

32
00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:43,920
Speaker 4: and that tight end, slash offensive lineman, slash wizard that's

33
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:45,640
Speaker 4: supposed to clear.

34
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:48,000
Speaker 3: Up his path? He did nothing. He whiffed.

35
00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:51,800
Speaker 1: This is a game. Look now, this is It's tough

36
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:54,560
Speaker 1: to break this game down because it's a game of

37
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:57,440
Speaker 1: two teams that are just mediocre. Yet it has huge

38
00:01:57,440 --> 00:02:00,280
Speaker 1: implications on the playoffs in the AFC because you have

39
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:04,320
Speaker 1: the Steelers trying to stay atop the division at seven

40
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:06,680
Speaker 1: and six. Eight and six would be a huge a

41
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:10,080
Speaker 1: huge step for them. The Dolphins trying to stay in

42
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:13,080
Speaker 1: the playoff race as well. While the Steelers it's gonna

43
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:15,200
Speaker 1: come down to them winning the division or the Ravens

44
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:16,680
Speaker 1: winning it's gonna come down to one of those things.

45
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:20,399
Speaker 1: The Dolphins absolutely have to have this game if they're

46
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:22,120
Speaker 1: gonna stay in at six and seven. They've been red

47
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:24,400
Speaker 1: hot and now here they are. But they're down fourteen

48
00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:27,400
Speaker 1: to three zero offense, and this looks like the worst

49
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:30,360
Speaker 1: offense that you've seen under Tua. Like that's when when

50
00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:32,640
Speaker 1: when things are bad for the Dolphins and you think

51
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:34,880
Speaker 1: of how bad the offense looks, and Tua can't really

52
00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:37,000
Speaker 1: complete a pass and they can't run the football and

53
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:39,200
Speaker 1: the weather is too cold, like this is the game

54
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:41,200
Speaker 1: you think of. I just hate whether you get into

55
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:44,600
Speaker 1: the the how what the temperature is. When you're bad,

56
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:47,520
Speaker 1: you're bad. Yeah, you might have a little bit between

57
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:49,880
Speaker 1: the ears of boy my fingers, you're a little cold,

58
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:52,079
Speaker 1: but you're on a football field being chased by three

59
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:54,680
Speaker 1: hundred pound men at a high rate of speed. I

60
00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:57,600
Speaker 1: don't think the weather's the first thing on your damn mind. Hey,

61
00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:02,040
Speaker 1: look that reception was in explicable. That was just a

62
00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:05,480
Speaker 1: terrible throw. Otherwise we saw him take a sack on

63
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:09,760
Speaker 1: their last possessions. Like you're a left handed thrower rolling

64
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:12,440
Speaker 1: to the left, you're outside the pocket, yet you get

65
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:15,040
Speaker 1: chased down for a sack, Like, what are we doing?

66
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 1: It was cold when they played the Jets and they

67
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:20,320
Speaker 1: ran for two hundred and eighty yards. I mean Jets like, Oh,

68
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:22,960
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence is great, dude, Jets. Come on, I actually

69
00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:26,639
Speaker 1: watched the game, unlike everybody else. Yeah, I mean they're

70
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:30,840
Speaker 1: committed to anything. They're committing to nine touches. Come on,

71
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:32,440
Speaker 1: all right, what do you got?

72
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:32,880
Speaker 5: Well?

73
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:36,400
Speaker 1: First of all, congratulation to Justin Frossburg. Fresh off his

74
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:39,200
Speaker 1: plane trip back from Kansas City, where the Chargers ended

75
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:40,480
Speaker 1: the chief season.

76
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:44,280
Speaker 3: He ended Patrick Mahomes. You've been talking about it for

77
00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:44,880
Speaker 3: all these years.

78
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:47,760
Speaker 1: You ended Mahomes, man, You ended Mahomes.

79
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:50,440
Speaker 6: How many happy people are out there today because of the.

80
00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:53,680
Speaker 1: Chargers, because the Chargers won well for two fans one

81
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:58,200
Speaker 1: people wanted, Yeah they're bad. There's a lot of bad here, man,

82
00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:01,200
Speaker 1: A lot of coal being handed out old Sandy Closs

83
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:04,360
Speaker 1: because people really reveling in Mahomes injury. That's just a

84
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:06,600
Speaker 1: whole subset. Well, that's different. This is what we'll get

85
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:07,960
Speaker 1: to Mahomes injury in a minute.

86
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:11,200
Speaker 4: This is about the game Chiefs being vanquished once and

87
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:11,440
Speaker 4: for all.

88
00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:13,520
Speaker 3: What did I tell you that defense would get after

89
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:14,480
Speaker 3: what I will get it done.

90
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:16,680
Speaker 6: I will tell you about the playoff picture. That's why

91
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:18,480
Speaker 6: I said what I said. Oh okay, well, I was

92
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:20,160
Speaker 6: going to say, you know who's not in the playoffs?

93
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:21,440
Speaker 1: Who's not in the playoffs?

94
00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:21,960
Speaker 6: The Chiefs.

95
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:26,320
Speaker 1: The celebration, you know, the Chiefs are kind of and

96
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:29,680
Speaker 1: here here's the deal uh is for? And Frost, Well,

97
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:32,360
Speaker 1: you were off Friday and I very boldly said, listen,

98
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:34,559
Speaker 1: Justin Froster's gonna have a great plane ride back from

99
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:38,839
Speaker 1: from Kansas City. Because Patrick Mahomes has difficulty with good defenses.

100
00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:40,760
Speaker 1: The Chargers have a top five defense. It's going to

101
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:43,120
Speaker 1: be an ugly game, just like it was when the

102
00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:45,800
Speaker 1: Chargers beat the Eagles on Monday Night. But they're coming

103
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:48,320
Speaker 1: out with the victory. They come away with a victory,

104
00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:51,440
Speaker 1: the Chargers and the chief season. But it is a

105
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:55,480
Speaker 1: little bit of okay, yes, so many anti Chiefs fans

106
00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:57,880
Speaker 1: of last year is because they've been so dominant. You

107
00:04:57,920 --> 00:04:59,840
Speaker 1: look at the TV ratings of the biggest games in

108
00:04:59,839 --> 00:05:01,680
Speaker 1: the the NFL the last three years. They all have

109
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:04,520
Speaker 1: the baseball The Chiefs are the Cowboys. Chiefs Cowboys, Chiefs

110
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:07,040
Speaker 1: Cowboys Chiefs Cowboys so this is kind of like, hey,

111
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:10,240
Speaker 1: everybody hates the Yankees, love to see him get knocked out,

112
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:12,400
Speaker 1: but oh well, we don't not going to have him

113
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:12,919
Speaker 1: in the playoffs.

114
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:15,760
Speaker 4: We want to watch him spiral yea and be vanquished

115
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:16,920
Speaker 4: somewhere along that road.

116
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:18,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's no question about it.

117
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:18,760
Speaker 5: Uh.

118
00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:21,280
Speaker 4: And now it gets into that fun part of the

119
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:26,440
Speaker 4: year where we add extra games, right, Christmas Day, Saturday games, whatever.

120
00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:28,960
Speaker 4: A lot of these primetime games, they happen to feature

121
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:31,200
Speaker 4: well teams with a bunch of guys that are no

122
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:34,640
Speaker 4: longer available, including it's going to be Difficulty afore mentioned

123
00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:37,440
Speaker 4: Patrick Mahomes, it's going to be cardr minshew Mania is

124
00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:39,960
Speaker 4: going to be running wild during this holiday season.

125
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:40,200
Speaker 5: Yeah.

126
00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:42,719
Speaker 1: So now, yeah, let's get into it again. Fourteen three

127
00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:46,320
Speaker 1: A in a in a very tepidly exciting Monday night

128
00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:48,000
Speaker 1: football game. These Steelers lead it.

129
00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:51,560
Speaker 4: He's actually thrown the ball at Rogers is downfield more

130
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:54,119
Speaker 4: than the last four or five throws.

131
00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:57,520
Speaker 1: Suddenly he's worried having an okay night. He's having okay.

132
00:05:57,680 --> 00:05:59,800
Speaker 1: I'm telling you he's playing an average team. He's having

133
00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:02,000
Speaker 1: an okay with sixteen out of seventeen. I think his

134
00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:05,200
Speaker 1: average air yard was he you know what?

135
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:05,920
Speaker 3: It was effective?

136
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:08,560
Speaker 1: He's sixteen out of seventeen for thirty eight yards. All right,

137
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:11,920
Speaker 1: he's getting he's getting there, chasing real quick. Yeah, what

138
00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:12,640
Speaker 1: do you got f Rosburg?

139
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:18,400
Speaker 6: He was gonna say, you know who's not in the playoffs?

140
00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:21,680
Speaker 1: Who's that the Chiefs?

141
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:23,640
Speaker 7: Uh?

142
00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:26,920
Speaker 1: Dk metcalf is in the end zone. A touchdown from

143
00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:30,960
Speaker 1: Rogers make it twenty to three, extra point pending twenty

144
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:32,240
Speaker 1: eight yards from Metcalf.

145
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:32,840
Speaker 5: Uh.

146
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:34,960
Speaker 1: It looks like the Steeler is gonna walk out of

147
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:37,080
Speaker 1: this one with a victory. Yeah, but you never know. Hey,

148
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:39,800
Speaker 1: you know, being behind by by three touchdowns is when

149
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:43,279
Speaker 1: TWA does his best work. But the thing about the

150
00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:45,920
Speaker 1: Chiefs is this, right now, you have a double edged

151
00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:48,880
Speaker 1: sword with with this situation with they're eliminated from the

152
00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:54,200
Speaker 1: playoffs and Patrick Mahomes torn ACL already underwent surgery, a

153
00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:57,640
Speaker 1: surgery done like, no, he'll have it next week. We're

154
00:06:57,640 --> 00:07:00,719
Speaker 1: gonna wait till the swelling goes down. He was able

155
00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:04,599
Speaker 1: to avoid a more damage on his knee than you

156
00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:07,160
Speaker 1: normally get to see sometimes in an ACL injury. Right,

157
00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:08,800
Speaker 1: that's the best way to explain it. He was able

158
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:10,360
Speaker 1: to avoid some of the worst. It's still a torn

159
00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:12,960
Speaker 1: acl still long rehabs on everything else. But the fact

160
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:15,320
Speaker 1: that he was able to have surgery now didn't have

161
00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:17,000
Speaker 1: to postpone, it didn't have to wait a couple of

162
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:19,640
Speaker 1: weeks anything else. That's a good sign for his recovery.

163
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:19,920
Speaker 5: Yeah.

164
00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:23,160
Speaker 4: I cursed audibly as it happened. I want you could

165
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:25,000
Speaker 4: see his leg in the way it pot was like,

166
00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:29,000
Speaker 4: oh no, yeah, it was tough. It was tough because.

167
00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:34,840
Speaker 1: Whatever you think of the teams, we need stars. Yeah, no,

168
00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:37,600
Speaker 1: no stars in a league where we're at quarterback sixty.

169
00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:41,480
Speaker 1: And I want to say this, the fact that he

170
00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:44,640
Speaker 1: had surgery so fast, because now obviously this season is

171
00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:47,480
Speaker 1: cooked for the Chiefs and there's gonna be and and

172
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:49,160
Speaker 1: you know now that what are they doing? What are

173
00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:51,200
Speaker 1: they doing? It's an off season of change. No, I'll

174
00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:53,360
Speaker 1: tell you exactly what it's gonna be. And I'll tell

175
00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:57,360
Speaker 1: you this. Remember when when Colorado, when Dion first took over,

176
00:07:57,680 --> 00:07:59,480
Speaker 1: and you know, they owned September and they won a

177
00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:01,560
Speaker 1: bunch of games, and Dean was like yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

178
00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:03,160
Speaker 1: Then they lost like four in a row and his

179
00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:06,040
Speaker 1: thing was get us now, right, remember the big press commers,

180
00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:08,160
Speaker 1: get us now because after I you know, I get

181
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:10,360
Speaker 1: my guys coming in the future. Get us now, because

182
00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:11,800
Speaker 1: you're not gonna get us in the future. It turns

183
00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:13,800
Speaker 1: out now you can get them whenever. Right, we get

184
00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:16,440
Speaker 1: you now, we'll get you later, We'll get you next season.

185
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:18,440
Speaker 1: We're looking for you on our schedule. We're trying to

186
00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:20,120
Speaker 1: schedule a game with you. Yeah, we want to get

187
00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:21,960
Speaker 1: you any time, because maybe maybe you're not the coach

188
00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:23,480
Speaker 1: ot He was good SoundBite.

189
00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:28,520
Speaker 3: His son isn't walking back to that gar Shdi.

190
00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:30,120
Speaker 1: Walking out unless he's coming to say hi to his dad.

191
00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:32,559
Speaker 1: He's not walking back through that Travis Hunter aint walking

192
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:34,640
Speaker 1: back through that door. But I want to say this,

193
00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:38,600
Speaker 1: Get the Chiefs now because what they're going to do

194
00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:42,000
Speaker 1: in the off season is going to be the Chiefs

195
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:43,480
Speaker 1: back with a vengeance.

196
00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:43,719
Speaker 6: Right.

197
00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:46,600
Speaker 1: I talked about this early in the year. No one's

198
00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:48,920
Speaker 1: been a bigger Chiefs whisper this year than I've been.

199
00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:51,120
Speaker 1: I've told you a great year for Mahomes, rough year

200
00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:52,880
Speaker 1: for the Chiefs. They'll struggle to make the playoffs. Other

201
00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:56,160
Speaker 1: teams are younger, more athletic, and they're better. And you

202
00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:58,600
Speaker 1: watch this year, it was a struggle Mahomes played terrific.

203
00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:01,280
Speaker 1: Now he is out, they were down to their third

204
00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:05,200
Speaker 1: and fourth string offensive tackles yesterday. They had guys playing

205
00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:07,880
Speaker 1: that beginning of the season. I don't think even not

206
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:09,680
Speaker 1: a glimmer in the eye of Andy Reid, They're gonna

207
00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:12,200
Speaker 1: have to play some games. So but you know what's

208
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:14,560
Speaker 1: gonna happen in the offseason because they know Mahomes looks

209
00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:16,240
Speaker 1: like the fact he has a surgery now avoided a

210
00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:18,439
Speaker 1: lot of damage. This means he should be able to

211
00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:19,880
Speaker 1: be back to the beginning of next year. You're talking

212
00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:23,000
Speaker 1: about twelve months recovery. Mahomes should be back. And I

213
00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:27,040
Speaker 1: guarantee you you are going to see big changes. And

214
00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:29,960
Speaker 1: the Chiefs are gonna attack the offseason like Jim Harbaugh

215
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:33,360
Speaker 1: attacks every day with a zeal unknown to mankind. They're

216
00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:36,280
Speaker 1: gonna fortify the offensive line again like they did four

217
00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:38,200
Speaker 1: years ago when they were coming off the Super Bowl

218
00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:40,160
Speaker 1: the loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Goes, hey, we

219
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:41,679
Speaker 1: gotta go out and get some guys out and got

220
00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:44,040
Speaker 1: Joe Tune, he got a couple of other players. They

221
00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:49,400
Speaker 1: know we need big change and it's gonna be offensive line. Obviously,

222
00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:52,080
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a number one running back, it's gonna

223
00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:54,240
Speaker 1: be another number one wide receiver, or at least a

224
00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:56,800
Speaker 1: one a wide receiver. It's gonna be a big stud

225
00:09:56,840 --> 00:09:59,720
Speaker 1: tight end because they know they need to make sure

226
00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:03,040
Speaker 1: that for the last half of Patrick Mahomes's prime, they

227
00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:05,000
Speaker 1: are in the best position possible and they can't go

228
00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:08,160
Speaker 1: with get by guys anymore. Look, Travis kelce is done.

229
00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:10,240
Speaker 1: How many times? Not not Sunday obviously, but how many

230
00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:12,280
Speaker 1: times did you have to see the headline this year

231
00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:15,560
Speaker 1: of boy, that Kelsey drop in the second half killed them,

232
00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:18,679
Speaker 1: or the Kelsey drop that turned into a karmed interception

233
00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:21,440
Speaker 1: really killed the Chiefs. Like three games they've lost because

234
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:24,120
Speaker 1: Travis Kelcey has dropped big passes. He's done. As much

235
00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:25,559
Speaker 1: as he might want to come back and not want

236
00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:27,320
Speaker 1: it to end this way, you don't always get to

237
00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:29,400
Speaker 1: pick your ending. And if you're the Chiefs, you need

238
00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:33,000
Speaker 1: another tight end because obviously Mahomes is using tight ends

239
00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:34,880
Speaker 1: in his for the last few years. Not gonna suddenly

240
00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:37,280
Speaker 1: not throw to the tight end anymore, but he's gonna

241
00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:40,079
Speaker 1: play a little bit differently. He's gonna have more weapons

242
00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:42,200
Speaker 1: at his disposal, and it's gonna be more of the

243
00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:44,640
Speaker 1: old Mahomes where instead of running to lead the to

244
00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:47,160
Speaker 1: lead the team in rushing, he's gonna keep plays alive

245
00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:49,600
Speaker 1: and he's gonna be able to use his big arm

246
00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:51,920
Speaker 1: to get the ball downfield. Two guys that can make plays.

247
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:54,560
Speaker 1: They know we can't just get buy anymore with Hey,

248
00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:57,160
Speaker 1: we're Mahomes driven, and we can put a bunch of

249
00:10:57,280 --> 00:10:59,439
Speaker 1: bunch of wide receivers out there that are Jags and

250
00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:01,720
Speaker 1: make it work. It's gonna be an off season of

251
00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:03,959
Speaker 1: We're coming for you, Breese Hall. We're coming from the

252
00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:06,560
Speaker 1: one a wide receiver to pair with Rushi Rice. We're

253
00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:09,040
Speaker 1: coming for a big time tight end. Maybe we're gonna

254
00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:11,280
Speaker 1: we'll do some kind of we'll make some kind of

255
00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:12,800
Speaker 1: move for a team that wants to get out from

256
00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:15,760
Speaker 1: a from it, maybe like a TJ. Hockinson type player

257
00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:17,720
Speaker 1: where hey, someone's making too much money will make a

258
00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:20,200
Speaker 1: deal for a player like that. You are going to

259
00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:23,160
Speaker 1: see big, bold moves by the Chiefs this offseason. So

260
00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:25,880
Speaker 1: they're gonna enter twenty twenty six saying yeah, you like

261
00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:28,000
Speaker 1: this last year when you hated us, Now now watch

262
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:30,560
Speaker 1: out because Mahomes has two great wide receivers and a

263
00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:33,040
Speaker 1: great tight end, a great running back. Look out. They

264
00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:36,760
Speaker 1: are going to absolutely come back next season with a vengeance.

265
00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:39,240
Speaker 1: Like I said, get them now. Unlike Dion, We're get

266
00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:41,440
Speaker 1: Colorado now. Do you get no? Get the Chiefs now,

267
00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:42,800
Speaker 1: because next season is gonna be a different story.

268
00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:45,599
Speaker 4: Yeah, the fun secondary storylines that have gone through all this,

269
00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:48,840
Speaker 4: Kyle Pitt's name comes up right the hero of Week fifteen,

270
00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:51,640
Speaker 4: going back to Thursday Night with his three touchdowns. He's

271
00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:53,840
Speaker 4: a free agent at the end of the year, so

272
00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:59,000
Speaker 4: potentially there's one domino to fall, but the other, you know,

273
00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:02,520
Speaker 4: Mahomes getting her when he did. The timeline is early

274
00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:06,720
Speaker 4: similar to when Brady had his injury and we watched

275
00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:09,960
Speaker 4: the Matt Castle and that that team rise up as

276
00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:13,320
Speaker 4: they did they missed the playoffs, but then you reset

277
00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:17,760
Speaker 4: and go that way towards the second iteration of the

278
00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:20,640
Speaker 4: the Brady run of dominance. But what they need to

279
00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:24,440
Speaker 4: look at is you've got what eleven guys that are

280
00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:27,440
Speaker 4: scheduled to make at least eleven million dollars on this

281
00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:30,520
Speaker 4: team next year, including Mahomes who counts for seventy eight

282
00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:35,160
Speaker 4: million against the cap, and Chris and Chris Jones, who

283
00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:37,880
Speaker 4: was a shell of himself oftentimes. Remember going all the

284
00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:39,520
Speaker 4: way back to early in the season, what he was

285
00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:43,079
Speaker 4: getting into it with teammates, over missed assignments and giving

286
00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:45,640
Speaker 4: up his run lane. Remember the game against the Chargers

287
00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:48,600
Speaker 4: early in the year, right, the game ceiling run that

288
00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:51,839
Speaker 4: Herbert had was because Jones took an inside path, And

289
00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:54,160
Speaker 4: I don't know that those guys ever got along thereafter,

290
00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:56,240
Speaker 4: Like there always seemed to be a bit of a riff.

291
00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:56,840
Speaker 3: But he's on the.

292
00:12:56,840 --> 00:13:00,319
Speaker 4: Books for forty four million dollars next year, so you're

293
00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:03,040
Speaker 4: gonna have to do what they call fuzzy math and

294
00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:05,319
Speaker 4: a reallocation. I think in some of this as well,

295
00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:08,360
Speaker 4: because in terms of available cap space, and obviously there's

296
00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:10,960
Speaker 4: a lot to change and you can slough off some

297
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:14,040
Speaker 4: money and rework some deals, but front offices has a

298
00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:16,040
Speaker 4: bunch of work to do as well. But this will

299
00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:18,120
Speaker 4: be the first time they'll actually draft in the upper

300
00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:18,880
Speaker 4: half for a while.

301
00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:21,720
Speaker 1: Yeah. Look, it'll be big. It'll be big changes. It'll

302
00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:24,199
Speaker 1: be absolutely big changes, and they're gonna have to do them.

303
00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:26,440
Speaker 1: But it's gonna be a different team. NeXT's not gonna

304
00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:28,439
Speaker 1: be a We're gonna get the band back together. No,

305
00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:31,760
Speaker 1: it's gonna be different guys, different, big playmakers, different, It's

306
00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:33,000
Speaker 1: be different everywhere.

307
00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:35,079
Speaker 4: Why can't they be like your team and just start

308
00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:37,240
Speaker 4: firing people? Hey, Matt Naggy beat it.

309
00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:39,600
Speaker 1: Well, there's only so many losses we can have where

310
00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:41,600
Speaker 1: we could just fire a guy because it was his fault.

311
00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:45,640
Speaker 4: N Dude, he's slopping off guys like rocks Awhank.

Speaker 1: Who this This looks like one of those Dolphins games

352
00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:54,680
Speaker 1: for the last couple of years where it's like, yeah,

353
00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:57,440
Speaker 1: end of the year and two is not great and

354
00:15:57,680 --> 00:16:00,000
Speaker 1: they just wind up mailing it into cold weather game

355
00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:02,640
Speaker 1: like this is every game of the Dolphins down the

356
00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:04,440
Speaker 1: stretch the last two years.

357
00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:08,200
Speaker 5: I don't want to say anything to drinks anything, but

358
00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:10,720
Speaker 5: if you watched one of that, you're feeling pretty good

Speaker 3: So we'll let it go.

364
00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:23,760
Speaker 1: Don't want to put it out there. Don't want to,

365
00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:25,760
Speaker 1: you know, don't want to ruin the carmb out there.

366
00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:29,760
Speaker 1: Uh So today, obviously the big story we've had Patrick

367
00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:33,800
Speaker 1: Mahomes's torn acl already having surgery. You know, the next

368
00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:36,080
Speaker 1: day he's had it. We talked about this a few

369
00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:39,320
Speaker 1: minutes ago. Big changes coming for the Chiefs neck this

370
00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:42,520
Speaker 1: coming off season, weapons, offensive line. You on board with

371
00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:44,800
Speaker 1: the big changes for them.

372
00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:47,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, and I wonder if Big Red becomes

373
00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:54,080
Speaker 5: one of them really well, yeah, I mean, this is

374
00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:58,280
Speaker 5: not your average pair. This is a guy who you

375
00:16:58,320 --> 00:17:00,480
Speaker 5: know has at this stage of his life, at this

376
00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:03,600
Speaker 5: stage of his career, given some of his health issues

377
00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:06,560
Speaker 5: in the past, he's you know, he's somebody who's it's

378
00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:10,680
Speaker 5: always some degree of conversation between him and his family

379
00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:18,080
Speaker 5: and doctors about you know, what makes sense. And I

380
00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:23,760
Speaker 5: don't know, guys, I just have a gut feeling that

381
00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:27,760
Speaker 5: this could be an opportunity for him to pull back,

382
00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:32,720
Speaker 5: for him to stay in the organization in some capacity,

383
00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:38,320
Speaker 5: for him to give ste Spagnolo, who certainly deserved the

384
00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:42,200
Speaker 5: second chance as a head coach, or Dave Tobe, who

385
00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:45,760
Speaker 5: absolutely deserved the first chance. And it's kind of staggering

386
00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:49,080
Speaker 5: that he never got an opportunity. But then again, these

387
00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:52,520
Speaker 5: are bobo NFL billionaire owners making them higher, so they

388
00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:57,800
Speaker 5: rarely get it right. And I mean they're not a

389
00:17:57,840 --> 00:18:00,560
Speaker 5: couple of players away, They're not an office in a way.

390
00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:04,800
Speaker 5: You've got a situation with Mahomes where he's probably not

391
00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:09,080
Speaker 5: going to be right again until twenty twenty seven. I

392
00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:12,480
Speaker 5: don't know. I just every year there's a surprise right

393
00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:16,920
Speaker 5: in the coaching ranks. Somebody gets fired who we didn't

394
00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:21,360
Speaker 5: see coming. Somebody retires who we didn't see coming. Teams

395
00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:24,200
Speaker 5: make a trade or pro or consider a coaching trade.

396
00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:26,400
Speaker 5: I mean even last year you could say, well, there

397
00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:29,560
Speaker 5: wasn't one except Bill Belichick wanted to Chapel Hill. I'm

398
00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:32,960
Speaker 5: going to say that qualifies. So I'm just you know,

399
00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:38,840
Speaker 5: it wouldn't shock me if sometime between now and let's

400
00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:41,239
Speaker 5: face it, this is the first time in forever that

401
00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:43,639
Speaker 5: he's not coaching games in late December that matter, and

402
00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:47,560
Speaker 5: he knows you won't be coaching in January, that he

403
00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:51,360
Speaker 5: doesn't reach out to Clark Hurnt or whatever, and they don't.

404
00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:54,560
Speaker 5: There aren't there aren't some discussions. I just wonder if

405
00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:58,800
Speaker 5: this is the football God's telling him, you know now

406
00:18:58,840 --> 00:19:02,760
Speaker 5: as the time you've endored tragedy. And I don't throw

407
00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:08,240
Speaker 5: that word around lately, tragedy in his family. He sacrificed

408
00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:10,960
Speaker 5: a lot for this game. If you were to tell

409
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:13,480
Speaker 5: Andy Reid right now and go back and rewind to

410
00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:18,919
Speaker 5: him walking out of you know, the the whatever it

411
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:20,440
Speaker 5: was called at the time, I guess it was still

412
00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:24,040
Speaker 5: thelink walking out of Philadelphia, walking out of that stadium,

413
00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:27,440
Speaker 5: clearing his office out at the team facility, and you're

414
00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:31,080
Speaker 5: gonna say, hey, coach, just letting you know. You're gonna

415
00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:33,520
Speaker 5: end up in Kansas City, and no one's gonna talk

416
00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:36,600
Speaker 5: about he can't win the championship game anymore. They're going

417
00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:39,119
Speaker 5: to talk about all he did is bing Lombardi trophies,

418
00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:44,359
Speaker 5: you know, And you're gonna draft this kid, and you're

419
00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:48,400
Speaker 5: going to have a Tom Brady esque arc for six

420
00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:51,400
Speaker 5: years with him or whatever. Seven years with him. I mean,

421
00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:53,560
Speaker 5: he would have signed up for all that. He wouldn't

422
00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:58,280
Speaker 5: have believed you, And now that's happened. And I don't know, man,

423
00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:01,040
Speaker 5: I just feels like a big circle closing to me.

424
00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:03,760
Speaker 5: Could just be caught up in the moment, could just

425
00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:08,159
Speaker 5: be pontificating, And that's really all I'm doing here. But

426
00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:11,600
Speaker 5: this is it for Kelsey. This is it for a while,

427
00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:14,000
Speaker 5: Like Mahomes is not going to do Mahomes again until again.

428
00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:16,959
Speaker 5: I'm telling you twenty twenty seven at the earliest. They

429
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:19,000
Speaker 5: need a new offensive line. They didn't need a new

430
00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:24,440
Speaker 5: defensive line. The division doesn't suck anymore, Like I mean,

431
00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:26,920
Speaker 5: they might have I mean, they were the third best

432
00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:29,800
Speaker 5: team in that division, and that's despite the Chargers not

433
00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:33,480
Speaker 5: having either their tackles for most of the year. I

434
00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:35,040
Speaker 5: don't know, I don't know.

435
00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:38,159
Speaker 1: How the plus side, you've always got the Raiders seventy

436
00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:41,119
Speaker 1: five yards of offense, all right, but that's enough about them.

437
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:45,080
Speaker 1: The other side of the injury coin, we've got the

438
00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:46,640
Speaker 1: Micah Parsons injury.

439
00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:51,320
Speaker 4: Christian Watson avoids a big damage, might be available as

440
00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:54,679
Speaker 4: early as Saturday, but from Micah Parsons the loss man,

441
00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:57,600
Speaker 4: how how huge is this to their playoff? Pitcher still

442
00:20:57,600 --> 00:20:59,600
Speaker 4: slight favorites against the Bears this week.

443
00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:03,720
Speaker 5: Oh, I mean, look in the moment, it was everything.

444
00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:05,560
Speaker 5: It took the air right out of the balloon. It

445
00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:10,040
Speaker 5: shifted that game. I like them coming in. I thought

446
00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:12,240
Speaker 5: they could be a super Bowl team coming in. But

447
00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:15,560
Speaker 5: then you get that shout of adrenaline and you make

448
00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:17,960
Speaker 5: that trade right before the season starts, and the defense

449
00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:21,000
Speaker 5: isn't just really good like it was last year. It

450
00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:24,240
Speaker 5: was menacing, it was intimidating. It had a different element

451
00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:26,520
Speaker 5: then last year, when they were still a top five

452
00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:30,320
Speaker 5: team in yards allowed for play. You had this sense of,

453
00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:33,879
Speaker 5: you know, for voting that there's imminent doom in a

454
00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:36,960
Speaker 5: close and laked situation that this one cat's going to

455
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:40,119
Speaker 5: take the game over and that's not there now. And

456
00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:42,480
Speaker 5: Halfway's a great coordinator and he'll scheme it up and

457
00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:45,920
Speaker 5: they'll go more zone and they'll they'll they'll make some adjustments.

458
00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:50,639
Speaker 5: But I do wonder if there's a hangover effect from that,

459
00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:54,399
Speaker 5: and this could be the Bears catching them at the

460
00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:55,120
Speaker 5: right time.

461
00:21:56,680 --> 00:21:59,960
Speaker 1: When it comes to quarterbacks and expecting what we've got

462
00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:03,840
Speaker 1: to see Sunday, we didn't expect to see Sunday. What's

463
00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:05,560
Speaker 1: your take on what you saw from Philip Rivers?

464
00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:11,520
Speaker 5: Come on, I mean, I'm glad he survived. I'm glad

465
00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:19,440
Speaker 5: all of acls are intact. It's impressive in some respects,

466
00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:23,959
Speaker 5: but it's also a bit of an indictment. You know,

467
00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:27,520
Speaker 5: otherwise that they that that's where the calls ended up.

468
00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:29,760
Speaker 5: You know that you didn't have somebody on your practice

469
00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:34,080
Speaker 5: squad or somebody sign off somebody else's practice squad, Like really,

470
00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:38,240
Speaker 5: I mean, it feels a little bit like a publicity stunt.

471
00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:41,159
Speaker 5: But then again, the team played so well, uh and

472
00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:45,320
Speaker 5: played so well, primarily defensively, and Sam Darnold, who does

473
00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:49,360
Speaker 5: have that choke team. I don't know what was going

474
00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:51,040
Speaker 5: on with him for a lot of that game. And

475
00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:52,680
Speaker 5: this is a big play offense that all of a

476
00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:55,159
Speaker 5: sudden didn't have a whole lot of big plays in it,

477
00:22:55,200 --> 00:23:01,600
Speaker 5: and they're kicking field goals left and right. But I

478
00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:04,000
Speaker 5: would try to get Richardson back out there. I mean,

479
00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:06,920
Speaker 5: that would be my priority as an organization, even it's

480
00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:08,600
Speaker 5: just for a game or two, even if it's just

481
00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:13,439
Speaker 5: to help boost his trade and potential or whatever. I

482
00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:18,159
Speaker 5: don't really I don't really understand honestly that Philip Rivers

483
00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:22,000
Speaker 5: is the best quarterback option for them on the entire planning.

484
00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:23,880
Speaker 5: But I guess he was, and.

485
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:27,480
Speaker 4: I guess he is, at least for one moment. We

486
00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:29,800
Speaker 4: always should hope to have one person who believes in

487
00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:32,800
Speaker 4: us that way, Jason, how about the belief that Joe

488
00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:35,159
Speaker 4: Burrow he gets out there Wednesday, he has all this

489
00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:38,280
Speaker 4: stuff and speculation swirls. He didn't look like he wanted

490
00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:40,560
Speaker 4: to play football in his shoutout loss to the to

491
00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:41,840
Speaker 4: the Ravens on Sunday.

492
00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:48,760
Speaker 5: That was his soulless, vacant, vapid, insipid, disinterested as I've

493
00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:55,080
Speaker 5: ever seen him. It was below below grade. It was shameful.

494
00:23:56,200 --> 00:24:00,960
Speaker 5: And you know, he can act like whatever that it

495
00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:04,560
Speaker 5: maybe wasn't that, or he can the comments he made

496
00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:06,119
Speaker 5: and then to come out there and look like you

497
00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:09,240
Speaker 5: wanted nothing to do with that football game, that football field,

498
00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:19,080
Speaker 5: those football fans. He's never going to play his whole

499
00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:20,760
Speaker 5: career there. He never was going to play his whole

500
00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:23,200
Speaker 5: career there. And there's plenty people in the league that

501
00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:25,600
Speaker 5: think he's got plenty of buyers remorse about re upping

502
00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:28,760
Speaker 5: with him, And if that's not the case, he's got

503
00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:35,000
Speaker 5: a funny way of showing it. And I just he's

504
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:38,560
Speaker 5: a pretty calculated guy, and he had two months during

505
00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:41,159
Speaker 5: this recovery to think about a lot of things, and

506
00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:44,840
Speaker 5: for this to turn as quickly as it did telt

507
00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:48,600
Speaker 5: me that he doesn't think that the people who run

508
00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:50,439
Speaker 5: that organization are ever going to win as much as

509
00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:53,520
Speaker 5: he wants to win. And he's a smart guy. He

510
00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:56,359
Speaker 5: understands the CBA, he understands the salary cap, and he

511
00:24:56,440 --> 00:24:59,720
Speaker 5: understands depth charts and talent, and that team is nowhere

512
00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:07,720
Speaker 5: near competing. And he the way he threw balls away,

513
00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:11,040
Speaker 5: the way he opted to not to run out of bounds,

514
00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:16,720
Speaker 5: the refusal to push the ball downfield. It almost looked

515
00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:19,280
Speaker 5: like in subordination, man, And it's staggering because that's a

516
00:25:19,320 --> 00:25:24,160
Speaker 5: stone cold assassin. But things are way off there and

517
00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:26,880
Speaker 5: there's gonna be another weird offseason in Cincinnati. But then again,

518
00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:28,000
Speaker 5: that's far for the course.

519
00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:31,800
Speaker 1: So what why do you think the whole Zach Taylor

520
00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:34,040
Speaker 1: Prescott today saying Joe Burrow is gonna play the rest

521
00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:36,000
Speaker 1: of the season. Is this Joe Burrow wanting to play

522
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:38,359
Speaker 1: the rest of the season or just a Bengal saying, hey, Blank,

523
00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:40,280
Speaker 1: you are making you play the rest of the season.

524
00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:41,920
Speaker 8: I don't.

525
00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:46,360
Speaker 5: I mean, I think it's more just that everybody who

526
00:25:46,359 --> 00:25:49,040
Speaker 5: knows anything about football and what any part of that

527
00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:53,480
Speaker 5: film is like, so what's up there? Like what's going on?

528
00:25:55,040 --> 00:25:57,080
Speaker 5: But he's the same guy who came out of league

529
00:25:57,080 --> 00:25:58,280
Speaker 5: go and said I get paid a ton of money

530
00:25:58,280 --> 00:25:59,760
Speaker 5: to play football and that's what I want to do,

531
00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:02,240
Speaker 5: and then three days later said I'm not really having

532
00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:06,680
Speaker 5: fun here anymore and I'm really frustrated, and man, I'm

533
00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:10,760
Speaker 5: just super angsty and paudy and ooh, life's tough, and

534
00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:13,000
Speaker 5: drop the whole bunch of sort of you know, non

535
00:26:13,040 --> 00:26:15,720
Speaker 5: sequiturs that could be taking a whole bunch of different ways,

536
00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:19,360
Speaker 5: and then didn't clear that up at all, like played

537
00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:22,479
Speaker 5: like he wanted anything other than to be there, and

538
00:26:22,520 --> 00:26:24,400
Speaker 5: then comes out after the game and it's like, yeah,

539
00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:27,919
Speaker 5: there's really nothing to see here, Like everything's fine. I

540
00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:30,880
Speaker 5: like Zach, you know whatever, Like I don't know, man,

541
00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:35,200
Speaker 5: he will not be a Bengal for life, I'll tell

542
00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:37,240
Speaker 5: you that much. And I don't think he'll be a Bengal.

543
00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:39,399
Speaker 5: Like he'll probably be a Bengal next year, but I

544
00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:41,359
Speaker 5: don't think he'll be a Bengal for the totality of

545
00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:42,080
Speaker 5: that extension.

546
00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:46,359
Speaker 4: Finally, operations shut down one that does go through Jayden

547
00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:51,399
Speaker 4: Daniels after another reoccurrence of the injury. This doesn't play

548
00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:53,760
Speaker 4: this week, and they finally make that announcement.

549
00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:57,280
Speaker 5: Well yeah, I mean that's just a common sense, obvious

550
00:26:57,320 --> 00:27:00,679
Speaker 5: thing to do. And at this point, again, that's an

551
00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:03,840
Speaker 5: organization that misread their talent level, that believed their own

552
00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:06,880
Speaker 5: press clippings and went out and had a pretty nonchalant

553
00:27:06,920 --> 00:27:10,440
Speaker 5: collect all the old guys off season. And they've paid

554
00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:14,000
Speaker 5: the price for it. But they need draft picks. They

555
00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:16,200
Speaker 5: need high draft picks that I don't see a whole

556
00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:18,359
Speaker 5: lot of blue chip down there, and especially don't see

557
00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:20,399
Speaker 5: a whole lot of young blue chip talent there except

558
00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:24,360
Speaker 5: for the quarterbacks. So yeah, it makes all the sense

559
00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:25,840
Speaker 5: in the world for them to be picking as high

560
00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:28,760
Speaker 5: as possible and to make that quarterback as healthy as

561
00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:29,960
Speaker 5: possible for the offseason.

562
00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:34,080
Speaker 1: You can followhim on Twitter at Jason lock and four.

563
00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:37,280
Speaker 1: That is at Jason lock and for Odyssey one oh

564
00:27:37,280 --> 00:27:40,320
Speaker 1: five seven the fan in Baltimore, Washington Post. Jay is

565
00:27:40,320 --> 00:27:42,560
Speaker 1: always buddy, appreciate it, man, We'll talk to you next week.

566
00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:43,320
Speaker 1: I have a great one.

567
00:27:43,560 --> 00:27:45,680
Speaker 5: Always my pleasure gunmen. Thank you, Jays.

568
00:27:45,800 --> 00:27:49,160
Speaker 1: Wow, this could be it for Andy Reid. The one

569
00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:51,320
Speaker 1: thing is that you know, Jason talked about, hey, maybe

570
00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:53,440
Speaker 1: the Chiefs aren't good till twenty twenty seven. I mean

571
00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:56,480
Speaker 1: the fact that Mahomes had his surgery. Now he's not

572
00:27:56,560 --> 00:27:58,680
Speaker 1: gonna take any He's everything he can to be back

573
00:27:58,720 --> 00:28:01,760
Speaker 1: for next year. They're not gonna take a year to say, ah.

574
00:28:01,880 --> 00:28:05,679
Speaker 1: I don't know now Andy Reid leaving. I could see that,

575
00:28:05,840 --> 00:28:09,960
Speaker 1: but I don't believe we're gonna see the Chiefs say yeah,

576
00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:11,640
Speaker 1: maybe twenty twenty six is a punt.

577
00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:11,840
Speaker 5: Year.

578
00:28:12,119 --> 00:28:14,200
Speaker 1: I don't think that's gonna happen. Yeah, it would be interesting,

579
00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:17,719
Speaker 1: just again with the that you have to retool that

580
00:28:17,840 --> 00:28:21,080
Speaker 1: roster in addition to him coming back from the injury

581
00:28:21,240 --> 00:28:23,600
Speaker 1: that I don't think they'll be good again until twenty

582
00:28:23,760 --> 00:28:25,639
Speaker 1: I agree with that part of it, But does that

583
00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:28,439
Speaker 1: mean Andy Reid doesn't stick around for a year. I

584
00:28:28,440 --> 00:28:31,080
Speaker 1: think I'd start being on air shaming him like I

585
00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:33,399
Speaker 1: did Sean McVeigh when he was thinking about going to

586
00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:36,439
Speaker 1: television and then he ended up back in the coaching box.

587
00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:39,520
Speaker 1: For over forty years, Tirerack's been up and customers find

588
00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:41,520
Speaker 1: the right tires for how, what and where they drive.

589
00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:44,600
Speaker 1: Shipped fast and free backed by free Road, has protection

590
00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:48,479
Speaker 1: with convenient installation options like mobile tire installation. Tire rack

591
00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:51,720
Speaker 1: dot Com is the way tire buying should be. Well,

592
00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:53,720
Speaker 1: I'm gonna find out what's trending in the wide world

593
00:28:53,760 --> 00:28:56,360
Speaker 1: of sports from someone who's been called the Aaron Rodgers

594
00:28:56,360 --> 00:28:59,640
Speaker 1: of Fox Sports Radio. All his updates from tonight have

595
00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:02,000
Speaker 1: almost it has been perfect. It's Steve de Segrich.

596
00:29:02,520 --> 00:29:05,320
Speaker 7: Aaron Rodgers is twenty two of twenty six through the

597
00:29:05,360 --> 00:29:08,320
Speaker 7: air at Pittsburgh Tonight two hundred and nineteen yards passing

598
00:29:08,360 --> 00:29:12,080
Speaker 7: two scores. Steelers are leading twenty eight to three over

599
00:29:12,120 --> 00:29:15,400
Speaker 7: the Miami Dolphins with twelve minutes to go. Dolphins were

600
00:29:15,480 --> 00:29:18,080
Speaker 7: up three nothing late first half, and the Steelers have

601
00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:22,400
Speaker 7: scored touchdowns on four consecutive drives. For those of us

602
00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:25,880
Speaker 7: who've seen this offense throughout the year, touchdowns on four

603
00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:30,120
Speaker 7: consecutive drives is news. My goodness, Pittsburgh about to go

604
00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:32,840
Speaker 7: to eight and six. And by the way, this will

605
00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:35,880
Speaker 7: be twenty three straight wins at home on Monday Night

606
00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:39,400
Speaker 7: football for the franchise dating back to nineteen ninety one.

607
00:29:39,760 --> 00:29:42,680
Speaker 7: The Jets fired defensive coordinator Steve Wilkes, who was in

608
00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:45,320
Speaker 7: his first year there. The team is allowing twenty eight points.

609
00:29:45,320 --> 00:29:47,080
Speaker 1: He was also in his last year there, Steve, Just

610
00:29:47,120 --> 00:29:49,880
Speaker 1: so you know, it is officially his last year there.

611
00:29:50,520 --> 00:29:53,160
Speaker 7: The Jets still have no interceptions, by the way, this season,

612
00:29:53,160 --> 00:29:56,000
Speaker 7: for those keeping score at home. The Colts will start

613
00:29:56,120 --> 00:29:59,200
Speaker 7: Philip Rivers at quarterback again next Monday Night against the

614
00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:02,520
Speaker 7: forty nine Ers. Washington shutdown quarterback Jaden Daniels for the

615
00:30:02,560 --> 00:30:05,520
Speaker 7: rest of the season. He aggravated his dislocated left elbow

616
00:30:05,520 --> 00:30:09,480
Speaker 7: a week ago, so Marco Mariota will start. Still, the

617
00:30:09,560 --> 00:30:12,280
Speaker 7: Bengals are due to keep starting quarterback Joe Burrow even

618
00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:15,480
Speaker 7: though they've been eliminated. Packers defensive end Micah Parsons has

00:33:51,800 --> 00:33:57,840
Speaker 1: Nassist dot com. Haileyon Assist dot com. So here we

694
00:33:57,920 --> 00:34:01,800
Speaker 1: are in the fourth quarter, a twenty eight to nine

695
00:34:02,080 --> 00:34:07,560
Speaker 1: lead for the Steelers. They have the Football Dolphins touchdown

696
00:34:07,640 --> 00:34:09,880
Speaker 1: Darren Waller. They do not get the two point conversion,

697
00:34:10,040 --> 00:34:13,879
Speaker 1: so the Steelers have a chance to take some time

698
00:34:13,920 --> 00:34:17,640
Speaker 1: off the clock here and walk away with the victory.

699
00:34:17,640 --> 00:34:18,920
Speaker 1: On Monday night, they had.

700
00:34:18,800 --> 00:34:21,480
Speaker 4: A long handoff also known as a quick swing pass

701
00:34:21,480 --> 00:34:24,640
Speaker 4: to your guy Jalen Warren. Another one point six points

702
00:34:24,640 --> 00:34:26,919
Speaker 4: for you. But they're a big guy in the Flu night,

703
00:34:28,120 --> 00:34:32,360
Speaker 4: the flu game for Warren as the Steelers tried to

704
00:34:32,440 --> 00:34:34,840
Speaker 4: salt this one away. We've watched Aaron Rodgers over the

705
00:34:34,840 --> 00:34:37,719
Speaker 4: course of the night, a lot of short things that

706
00:34:37,760 --> 00:34:40,400
Speaker 4: people would be to take the pejorative dink and dunk.

707
00:34:40,600 --> 00:34:43,200
Speaker 4: It's been winning football, yeah right, if you can scheme

708
00:34:43,239 --> 00:34:46,040
Speaker 4: it up. And I've been long a critic of the

709
00:34:46,080 --> 00:34:50,560
Speaker 4: shortcomings of Arthur Smith. Tonight he and Rodgers perfect game plan.

710
00:34:50,680 --> 00:34:52,480
Speaker 1: Can we find a way to be just a little

711
00:34:52,480 --> 00:34:54,680
Speaker 1: bit better than average? Yes, I can do that for you,

712
00:34:54,800 --> 00:34:57,200
Speaker 1: all right? That that should be enough against this Miami

713
00:34:57,239 --> 00:34:57,879
Speaker 1: Dolphins team.

714
00:34:57,880 --> 00:35:01,399
Speaker 4: But in the twenty twenty five NFL season, and can't

715
00:35:01,440 --> 00:35:03,279
Speaker 4: you say that for the most part, that's kind of.

716
00:35:03,239 --> 00:35:06,520
Speaker 1: Where we're playing. That's true. Yeah, yeah, yeah, Look the Dolphins.

717
00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:10,800
Speaker 1: The Dolphins did win a game in forty ish degree

718
00:35:10,800 --> 00:35:12,760
Speaker 1: whether a couple of weeks ago, but it was the Jets.

719
00:35:12,760 --> 00:35:15,120
Speaker 1: So temper expectations because you see what happens tonight when

720
00:35:15,160 --> 00:35:16,880
Speaker 1: they're playing a team that's just a little bit better

721
00:35:17,360 --> 00:35:19,440
Speaker 1: they're getting boat raced. And that's why I want to

722
00:35:19,440 --> 00:35:23,000
Speaker 1: tell you, Oh, Trevor Lawrence is great. This is the

723
00:35:23,040 --> 00:35:26,480
Speaker 1: best version of himself he's ever been. Trevor law Hang

724
00:35:26,520 --> 00:35:29,520
Speaker 1: on one second. Trevor Lawrence has played pretty well. I will

725
00:35:29,520 --> 00:35:32,120
Speaker 1: say that he has played pretty well. But from someone

726
00:35:32,160 --> 00:35:34,439
Speaker 1: who actually watched the game yesterday and didn't you didn't

727
00:35:34,480 --> 00:35:38,240
Speaker 1: just look and say, wow, six touchdowns. It was the Jets.

728
00:35:38,640 --> 00:35:41,680
Speaker 1: The Jets. I'm telling you, man again, with eight minutes

729
00:35:41,719 --> 00:35:43,880
Speaker 1: to go in the first quarter, another week where the

730
00:35:43,920 --> 00:35:46,480
Speaker 1: Jets game is over right, I mean, but Aaron Glenn's

731
00:35:46,520 --> 00:35:48,480
Speaker 1: got it all fixed. He's gonna keep firing guys like

732
00:35:48,520 --> 00:35:51,560
Speaker 1: Steve Wilkes because Aaron Glenn's got it. The Jets are quitting.

733
00:35:51,760 --> 00:35:55,640
Speaker 1: They're not prepared. The Jets run. The Jets were so

734
00:35:55,960 --> 00:35:57,920
Speaker 1: unprepared for this game. This is where I go. You know,

735
00:35:57,960 --> 00:35:59,960
Speaker 1: you're the head coaches said here, tell me about create

736
00:36:00,160 --> 00:36:04,120
Speaker 1: a culture and X, Y and Z and how you're building.

737
00:36:04,320 --> 00:36:05,920
Speaker 1: I don't know what the hell the Jets are building.

738
00:36:06,160 --> 00:36:08,520
Speaker 1: They have nothing. The Jets next season are gonna go

739
00:36:08,520 --> 00:36:10,759
Speaker 1: win with no optimism. Right now, if you said, hey,

740
00:36:10,840 --> 00:36:12,399
Speaker 1: what are you gonna go into next year. Say we're

741
00:36:12,400 --> 00:36:14,960
Speaker 1: building off this for next year. There's not one thing

742
00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:18,399
Speaker 1: you are building on that's every season. Your offense is terrible, right,

743
00:36:18,400 --> 00:36:20,640
Speaker 1: maybe your offensive line is a little bit okay, and

744
00:36:20,880 --> 00:36:23,680
Speaker 1: you get Garrett Wilson back, but that's not you can't

745
00:36:23,680 --> 00:36:25,880
Speaker 1: build on that. This cat, Brady Cook, he had a

746
00:36:25,920 --> 00:36:29,560
Speaker 1: couple of years are you are absolutely terrible. And I'll

747
00:36:29,560 --> 00:36:32,480
Speaker 1: tell you this that when Trevor Lawrence scampered in for

748
00:36:32,520 --> 00:36:35,400
Speaker 1: his first touchdown run right, it's a big third and

749
00:36:35,480 --> 00:36:39,359
Speaker 1: fifteen play. The Jets had all his receivers covered and ah,

750
00:36:39,440 --> 00:36:42,279
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence runs at fifty one. Watch the replay of

751
00:36:42,280 --> 00:36:45,400
Speaker 1: that play. The Jets had five guys standing in the

752
00:36:45,400 --> 00:36:48,880
Speaker 1: middle of the field. Standing in middlefield at the goal line, okay,

753
00:36:49,080 --> 00:36:51,399
Speaker 1: twenty yards away from where Trevor Lawrence was. You had

754
00:36:51,440 --> 00:36:53,520
Speaker 1: five defenders just dead. But I guess we're here. I

755
00:36:53,520 --> 00:36:56,080
Speaker 1: guess you know. We're hanging out. We're having conversations like

756
00:36:56,960 --> 00:36:58,719
Speaker 1: I look at that, I go, how the hell do

757
00:36:58,760 --> 00:37:01,560
Speaker 1: you have so many players around on one player at

758
00:37:01,560 --> 00:37:04,320
Speaker 1: the goal line and he just scampers. He's you shouldn't

759
00:37:04,360 --> 00:37:07,120
Speaker 1: be running fifteen yards for a touchdown on a play

760
00:37:07,160 --> 00:37:10,640
Speaker 1: where everybody is covered. You can't throw the football right

761
00:37:10,719 --> 00:37:12,560
Speaker 1: you want to. You have some kind of play where

762
00:37:12,600 --> 00:37:15,239
Speaker 1: it's a fake or it's a it's a draw and

763
00:37:15,520 --> 00:37:18,160
Speaker 1: and it's a design play. Great, but you shouldn't be

764
00:37:18,160 --> 00:37:21,000
Speaker 1: scrambling that way for a touchdown. It was easy for

765
00:37:21,080 --> 00:37:24,040
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence yesterday. It was easy. It was the Jets,

766
00:37:24,320 --> 00:37:27,600
Speaker 1: and the Jets fired their defensive coordator who's been absolutely terrible,

767
00:37:27,640 --> 00:37:30,440
Speaker 1: Steve Wilks. You know why, he's one year everywhere, one year,

768
00:37:30,600 --> 00:37:32,680
Speaker 1: not even one year here with the Jets. He was awful.

769
00:37:32,680 --> 00:37:34,800
Speaker 1: The Jets defense is terrible again. The last couple of

770
00:37:34,840 --> 00:37:37,560
Speaker 1: weeks has been bad. They've lit up points all year long.

771
00:37:37,719 --> 00:37:40,080
Speaker 1: Whether they had Quinn Williams and Sauce Gardner, don't have

772
00:37:40,200 --> 00:37:44,080
Speaker 1: these guys. You can't measure your success in a game

773
00:37:44,120 --> 00:37:46,759
Speaker 1: against the Jets. You just can't. You can't give me

774
00:37:46,800 --> 00:37:48,879
Speaker 1: a better team again. I talked about the Dolphins, Hey,

775
00:37:48,920 --> 00:37:50,880
Speaker 1: cold weather game they run for two to eighty against

776
00:37:50,880 --> 00:37:52,840
Speaker 1: the Jets. Yeah, it was the Jets tonight. It looks

777
00:37:52,880 --> 00:37:55,359
Speaker 1: like they looks like they've quit and they can't even

778
00:37:55,400 --> 00:37:58,760
Speaker 1: They're not even gonna break double digits against the Steelers. Right. Again,

779
00:37:58,800 --> 00:38:01,680
Speaker 1: you can't measure how good you are in one game

780
00:38:01,719 --> 00:38:04,480
Speaker 1: against the Jets and say always back. Let Trevor Lawrence

781
00:38:04,480 --> 00:38:06,000
Speaker 1: do with the rest of the season. The Jaguars are

782
00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:08,600
Speaker 1: having a good season right top of the AFC South.

783
00:38:08,600 --> 00:38:10,919
Speaker 1: They figured out a way around him for the first

784
00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:13,080
Speaker 1: half of the year. We're running the football well and

785
00:38:13,120 --> 00:38:15,160
Speaker 1: playing good defense. Right, they figured out a way around

786
00:38:15,239 --> 00:38:17,880
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence. Yeah, he's had a couple of good games.

787
00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:21,839
Speaker 1: This was the Jets. You cannot measure success in one

788
00:38:21,880 --> 00:38:25,000
Speaker 1: game against the Jets. It's like me measuring success like, Hey,

789
00:38:25,000 --> 00:38:27,719
Speaker 1: I can beat my dog in a video game. I

790
00:38:27,800 --> 00:38:29,959
Speaker 1: just won that game of Madden against my dog. Didn't

791
00:38:29,960 --> 00:38:31,520
Speaker 1: even press the button at all, just sat there and

792
00:38:31,560 --> 00:38:34,400
Speaker 1: slept the whole time, and I won thirty one to nothing.

793
00:38:34,480 --> 00:38:37,360
Speaker 1: I mean, you can't do that. You equated these Jets

794
00:38:37,400 --> 00:38:40,040
Speaker 1: to your dog. Which one.

795
00:38:40,440 --> 00:38:41,640
Speaker 6: Oh, Benny's got more game.

796
00:38:41,760 --> 00:38:44,640
Speaker 3: Yes, Benny's been around a minute. He's pretty crafty that

797
00:38:44,680 --> 00:38:45,759
Speaker 3: he's been eyeballing you.

798
00:38:45,719 --> 00:38:46,080
Speaker 5: For a while.

799
00:38:46,200 --> 00:38:48,359
Speaker 1: He's got more game. Bareley likes to sleep a little

800
00:38:48,400 --> 00:38:52,040
Speaker 1: bit more so. Yeah. But when we look at the

801
00:38:52,080 --> 00:38:55,719
Speaker 1: totality of it, for Trevor Lawrence, this year has been

802
00:38:55,800 --> 00:38:59,120
Speaker 1: uneven to your point, running the football well, dual headed

803
00:38:59,120 --> 00:39:02,239
Speaker 1: monster Travis et massive game yesterday.

804
00:39:02,880 --> 00:39:05,959
Speaker 4: It was his first three hundred yard game of the year,

805
00:39:06,400 --> 00:39:09,560
Speaker 4: just so you know at three thirty. But I think

806
00:39:09,680 --> 00:39:13,560
Speaker 4: the big thing is fantasy playoff wise, and just the

807
00:39:13,600 --> 00:39:15,799
Speaker 4: fact that that game kept coming back up on the

808
00:39:15,840 --> 00:39:18,000
Speaker 4: red zone channel. It was in your face a bunch.

809
00:39:18,239 --> 00:39:20,600
Speaker 4: And what you can do is say, over the last

810
00:39:20,640 --> 00:39:25,080
Speaker 4: four weeks, hey, he's got twelve touchdowns now against three interceptions,

811
00:39:25,080 --> 00:39:28,560
Speaker 4: plus the rushing efforts whatever. So those are stats that

812
00:39:28,680 --> 00:39:32,839
Speaker 4: you can you can mythologize, right that is that a

813
00:39:32,880 --> 00:39:34,000
Speaker 4: word I'm looking for here?

814
00:39:34,080 --> 00:39:34,279
Speaker 3: Right?

815
00:39:34,520 --> 00:39:37,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, now it is now I just might have. But

816
00:39:37,680 --> 00:39:40,040
Speaker 4: you create a myth of hey, he's rolling. Well, their

817
00:39:40,080 --> 00:39:43,600
Speaker 4: schedule has been soft, but you can only beat who's

818
00:39:43,600 --> 00:39:46,319
Speaker 4: on it. And they've been putting up points, what is it,

819
00:39:46,360 --> 00:39:49,560
Speaker 4: twenty five or more in seven straight games. So you

820
00:39:49,640 --> 00:39:53,439
Speaker 4: go back and they got absolutely drummed by the Seahawks

821
00:39:54,000 --> 00:39:56,239
Speaker 4: and the Rams. They were shut down. They scored fewer

822
00:39:56,320 --> 00:39:58,399
Speaker 4: than ten points in both of those games. So when

823
00:39:58,400 --> 00:40:01,600
Speaker 4: you have that decided step up and class not quite there,

824
00:40:01,960 --> 00:40:04,080
Speaker 4: but in the AFC right now, you got a lot

825
00:40:04,120 --> 00:40:06,800
Speaker 4: of middling teams go take advantage of what's on the schedule.

826
00:40:06,960 --> 00:40:10,919
Speaker 4: In this case, it was a dead from the neck

827
00:40:11,000 --> 00:40:14,120
Speaker 4: of Jets squad and you had the next fall guy.

828
00:40:14,920 --> 00:40:18,439
Speaker 1: Look it's it's Lawrence is playing better. Is a little

829
00:40:18,440 --> 00:40:19,920
Speaker 1: bit better, don't get me wrong, but he's still a

830
00:40:20,000 --> 00:40:22,160
Speaker 1: league average quarterback. Look at the guys who had big

831
00:40:22,200 --> 00:40:26,360
Speaker 1: games against the Jets. Everybody does everybody. But that's just it.

832
00:40:26,440 --> 00:40:30,400
Speaker 1: And was it the roster as constructed or is Wilk's

833
00:40:30,400 --> 00:40:33,319
Speaker 1: that bad? It's it's everything. It's the Jets. That's all

834
00:40:33,360 --> 00:40:36,719
Speaker 1: you have to say is Jets and Jets. So I

835
00:40:36,719 --> 00:40:38,640
Speaker 1: have says, oh yeah, Jets, right right, I got it,

836
00:40:38,719 --> 00:40:40,239
Speaker 1: I got it. That's it, I got it.

837
00:40:40,440 --> 00:40:43,840
Speaker 3: Just that that's your that's gonna be the way. Is

838
00:40:43,880 --> 00:40:44,600
Speaker 3: that what you're right on?

839
00:40:44,719 --> 00:40:51,279
Speaker 1: Cards Jets? Coming up next, the quarterback story. I was

840
00:40:51,320 --> 00:40:54,440
Speaker 1: happy to be sort of wrong on this weekend Fox
