Term Lawrence and the Jags riding high after 13 00:01:02,028 --> 00:01:05,988 Speaker 1: their epic wild Wild Card come back. A lot of 14 00:01:05,988 --> 00:01:08,548 Speaker 1: adjectives on that one, But now they turn their attention 15 00:01:08,628 --> 00:01:11,708 Speaker 1: to the one seed, the Kansas City Chiefs, who they 16 00:01:11,748 --> 00:01:13,988 Speaker 1: lost to in Week ten, despite a gritty performance by 17 00:01:14,068 --> 00:01:16,828 Speaker 1: Lawrence in that game. So how is the quarterback feeling 18 00:01:16,868 --> 00:01:21,468 Speaker 1: about a return trip to Arrowhead? I mean Week ten 19 00:01:21,508 --> 00:01:23,948 Speaker 1: seems so long ago. I mean so it's ten weeks ago, 20 00:01:24,028 --> 00:01:26,148 Speaker 1: so I think, speaking of the team, I think we're 21 00:01:26,148 --> 00:01:27,948 Speaker 1: in a really good spot. We have a lot of confidence, 22 00:01:28,228 --> 00:01:30,508 Speaker 1: played a lot of football since then. We've won a 23 00:01:30,508 --> 00:01:32,428 Speaker 1: lot of games since then. We left a lot on 24 00:01:32,468 --> 00:01:34,508 Speaker 1: the table. And you can say that every game, especially 25 00:01:34,508 --> 00:01:36,028 Speaker 1: when you don't win them, but you know, I really 26 00:01:36,028 --> 00:01:37,268 Speaker 1: just feel like we left a lot out there. And 27 00:01:37,268 --> 00:01:39,588 Speaker 1: as the game went on, I thought we'd played better offensively. 28 00:01:39,708 --> 00:01:41,788 Speaker 1: But you know, when you're playing a team like them 29 00:01:41,828 --> 00:01:43,908 Speaker 1: that has a great offense, a high powered offense that 30 00:01:43,708 --> 00:01:45,588 Speaker 1: can that can score a lot of points, and you know, 31 00:01:45,628 --> 00:01:47,348 Speaker 1: even if your defense is playing well, you got to 32 00:01:47,388 --> 00:01:49,708 Speaker 1: score to beat guys like this, especially a guy like 33 00:01:49,748 --> 00:01:51,668 Speaker 1: Patrick over there. So you know, you're aware of that. 34 00:01:51,748 --> 00:01:53,508 Speaker 1: And there's definitely some stuff we left out there and 35 00:01:53,548 --> 00:01:55,508 Speaker 1: excited to get, you know, get another opportunity. It's gonna 36 00:01:55,508 --> 00:01:58,508 Speaker 1: be fun. Now, that's what you have, Trevor. You have 37 00:01:58,548 --> 00:02:01,468 Speaker 1: another opportunity on your hands. But I don't know how 38 00:02:01,548 --> 00:02:04,228 Speaker 1: much fun it's going to be. As you are staring 39 00:02:04,548 --> 00:02:07,428 Speaker 1: down the barrel at the business end of a rowdy 40 00:02:07,548 --> 00:02:10,548 Speaker 1: Arrowhead stadium and one Patrick Mahomes, who has just been 41 00:02:10,588 --> 00:02:13,228 Speaker 1: waiting in the wings for playoffs to start for the Chiefs. 42 00:02:13,668 --> 00:02:16,348 Speaker 1: How can the Jaguars leave Kansas City with twin Peter? 43 00:02:16,468 --> 00:02:19,028 Speaker 1: What do they have to execute to get the jobs? 44 00:02:19,068 --> 00:02:20,948 Speaker 1: You know what, yesterday I came on the show and 45 00:02:21,028 --> 00:02:24,628 Speaker 1: I said, the NFC logos in the playoffs remaining are 46 00:02:24,668 --> 00:02:27,308 Speaker 1: like traditional blueblood franchise. You got the forty nine Ers 47 00:02:27,308 --> 00:02:29,948 Speaker 1: and the Cowboys, which are like historic franchises. You got 48 00:02:29,988 --> 00:02:32,828 Speaker 1: the Giants and Eagles, the AFC. Look at the four 49 00:02:32,908 --> 00:02:35,028 Speaker 1: quarterbacks we got in the AFC. Could you've written it 50 00:02:35,028 --> 00:02:37,068 Speaker 1: any better? If for the NFL to get Trevor Lawrence 51 00:02:37,108 --> 00:02:39,548 Speaker 1: the next guy versus Patrick Mahomes the guy with the torch, 52 00:02:39,588 --> 00:02:41,548 Speaker 1: and then Josh Allen and Joe Burrow. Right there, we're 53 00:02:41,548 --> 00:02:44,468 Speaker 1: talking logos on one end and then the quarterback story 54 00:02:44,508 --> 00:02:46,348 Speaker 1: on the other end. And to me, I look at 55 00:02:46,348 --> 00:02:48,388 Speaker 1: one of those other quarterbacks. I look at what Joe 56 00:02:48,388 --> 00:02:51,468 Speaker 1: Burrow did last year, going into Arrowhead in a big 57 00:02:51,508 --> 00:02:53,868 Speaker 1: spot as a huge underdog and saying, you know what 58 00:02:54,108 --> 00:02:56,508 Speaker 1: I'm at, dude, I'm the number one overall pick. I've 59 00:02:56,508 --> 00:02:59,988 Speaker 1: played in big college games before. I'm not scared of 60 00:03:00,028 --> 00:03:03,748 Speaker 1: this Arrowhead crowd. Jaguars can win this game in Kansas City, 61 00:03:03,788 --> 00:03:09,708 Speaker 1: if they are completely unintimidated by the situation. I think 62 00:03:09,708 --> 00:03:11,868 Speaker 1: you look down this Jaguars roster, they're all getting better. 63 00:03:11,908 --> 00:03:13,748 Speaker 1: There's a lot of guys who have been written off 64 00:03:13,788 --> 00:03:15,828 Speaker 1: and are coming back and they're making their plays, whether 65 00:03:15,868 --> 00:03:17,748 Speaker 1: it be having Ingraham or Zay Jones, or you go 66 00:03:17,868 --> 00:03:20,268 Speaker 1: right down the list. And then there's that quarterback Trevor Lawrence. 67 00:03:20,308 --> 00:03:22,508 Speaker 1: I watched Joe Burrow go into Arrowhead last year down 68 00:03:22,508 --> 00:03:25,028 Speaker 1: twenty one to three and get his guys back together 69 00:03:25,068 --> 00:03:28,268 Speaker 1: and do it. I watched Trevor Lawrence on Saturday night 70 00:03:28,308 --> 00:03:30,788 Speaker 1: be down twenty seven points and find a way to 71 00:03:30,868 --> 00:03:33,988 Speaker 1: get his guys to believe that we can do this. Hey, 72 00:03:34,348 --> 00:03:37,948 Speaker 1: we know Andy and Doug have a long history, and 73 00:03:38,028 --> 00:03:39,668 Speaker 1: we'll get into it this week. Trust man, I'm sure 74 00:03:39,708 --> 00:03:42,308 Speaker 1: we might get into it this segment. Doug Peterson was 75 00:03:42,308 --> 00:03:44,428 Speaker 1: a backup quarterback for Andy Reid. He was a starting 76 00:03:44,508 --> 00:03:46,468 Speaker 1: quarterback for Andy Reid. Then he was a coach under 77 00:03:46,508 --> 00:03:49,068 Speaker 1: Andy Reid. This team is not going to be out 78 00:03:49,108 --> 00:03:54,108 Speaker 1: coached necessarily on Saturday afternoon, but they might be outwitted, 79 00:03:54,188 --> 00:03:56,748 Speaker 1: and they might be intimidated, and they might just the 80 00:03:56,868 --> 00:03:59,028 Speaker 1: moment might just be too big. If they can go 81 00:03:59,068 --> 00:04:01,908 Speaker 1: in there with the focus of don't let the surroundings, 82 00:04:01,948 --> 00:04:05,068 Speaker 1: don't let them bet, Melissa Ethridge bang and a drum, 83 00:04:05,348 --> 00:04:07,828 Speaker 1: totally psyche out, don't let Paul Rudd and I got 84 00:04:07,988 --> 00:04:10,868 Speaker 1: Coal quit, Jersey freak you out, Eric stones Street, Eric 85 00:04:10,948 --> 00:04:14,668 Speaker 1: stone Street coming out and doing his brain like, don't 86 00:04:14,748 --> 00:04:17,188 Speaker 1: let that stuff seep in. It's the best crowd you 87 00:04:17,228 --> 00:04:19,588 Speaker 1: can imagine on a Saturday afternoon. They're gonna be ready 88 00:04:19,588 --> 00:04:21,548 Speaker 1: to go, and they're gonna be ready to scare the Jaguars. 89 00:04:21,748 --> 00:04:23,668 Speaker 1: If they can stay in their pocket and do what 90 00:04:23,788 --> 00:04:26,228 Speaker 1: Burrow did last year and just focus on the task 91 00:04:26,268 --> 00:04:27,828 Speaker 1: at hand, they've got a shot in this thing. But 92 00:04:27,828 --> 00:04:29,628 Speaker 1: if the moment's too big, the moment's too big, can't 93 00:04:29,708 --> 00:04:31,388 Speaker 1: let it happen. Yeah, don't be scared of Rob Riggle 94 00:04:31,428 --> 00:04:33,788 Speaker 1: either when he comes out, and he might because the 95 00:04:33,908 --> 00:04:36,908 Speaker 1: Chiefs fans they come out in swarms. You bring up 96 00:04:36,908 --> 00:04:40,148 Speaker 1: the Doug Peterson connection with Andy Reid and look the 97 00:04:40,308 --> 00:04:44,388 Speaker 1: similarities and the offensive and the concepts. You know, you 98 00:04:44,428 --> 00:04:46,308 Speaker 1: say he's not gonna be out Coach, I look at 99 00:04:46,428 --> 00:04:49,348 Speaker 1: this game. How do the Jaguars beat the Chiefs? It's 100 00:04:49,388 --> 00:04:52,028 Speaker 1: gas pedal, and Doug Peterson's been there before. I go 101 00:04:52,108 --> 00:04:54,748 Speaker 1: back to when the Eagles played the Patriots in the 102 00:04:54,788 --> 00:04:57,468 Speaker 1: Super Bowl. Look, Phil, that's how Philly Special was born, 103 00:04:57,548 --> 00:04:59,308 Speaker 1: and it was fourth down. It was hey, you want 104 00:04:59,308 --> 00:05:02,108 Speaker 1: to go for it? So it's him going to Trevor 105 00:05:02,188 --> 00:05:04,588 Speaker 1: Lawrence like, look, we are all gas pedal, like we're 106 00:05:04,588 --> 00:05:06,748 Speaker 1: not gonna win this game. Kick of field goals when 107 00:05:06,788 --> 00:05:08,628 Speaker 1: we get down the red zone, like just sid at 108 00:05:08,628 --> 00:05:11,028 Speaker 1: four down, Taylor, We're going for it. There's gonna be 109 00:05:11,068 --> 00:05:13,868 Speaker 1: a moment in this game where Doug's gonna have to 110 00:05:13,948 --> 00:05:15,828 Speaker 1: make that decision. It's probably gonna be early on height 111 00:05:15,948 --> 00:05:17,348 Speaker 1: fourth down? Do I go forward? Do I set up 112 00:05:17,348 --> 00:05:19,468 Speaker 1: for the field goal? And some of those players early 113 00:05:19,548 --> 00:05:21,868 Speaker 1: on can really dictate how that game ends up unfolding. 114 00:05:21,908 --> 00:05:23,708 Speaker 1: I expect Peterson to be all gas pedal, and I 115 00:05:23,708 --> 00:05:25,908 Speaker 1: expect him to pull out all the tricks, the gadgets 116 00:05:26,188 --> 00:05:28,348 Speaker 1: and about the Jaguars come out and they do the 117 00:05:28,748 --> 00:05:31,428 Speaker 1: snow globe, the ring. Wouldn't that be something coming to 118 00:05:31,588 --> 00:05:34,508 Speaker 1: arrowhead first drive. They're doing it and Peterson looks over 119 00:05:34,508 --> 00:05:40,028 Speaker 1: the reading goes, spe I got that bag just too 120 00:05:40,108 --> 00:05:42,708 Speaker 1: great Offensive minds and get an opportunity to see these 121 00:05:42,708 --> 00:05:44,908 Speaker 1: two guys face off. Is gonna be so much fun. 122 00:05:44,908 --> 00:05:47,868 Speaker 1: And as I look at this Jacksonville Jaguars team, they're 123 00:05:47,868 --> 00:05:50,348 Speaker 1: gonna have to score points to keep up with Kansas City. 124 00:05:50,348 --> 00:05:52,068 Speaker 1: And they played them, and they played them tough in 125 00:05:52,188 --> 00:05:54,188 Speaker 1: that game that Trevor Lawrence is alluding to it that 126 00:05:54,268 --> 00:05:56,948 Speaker 1: was so long ago, and they actually won the turnover battle. 127 00:05:56,948 --> 00:05:59,508 Speaker 1: They had three turnovers from Kansas City and didn't turn 128 00:05:59,548 --> 00:06:02,188 Speaker 1: the ball over themselves, but the only scored seventeen points. 129 00:06:02,228 --> 00:06:04,388 Speaker 1: Were gonna have to block Chris Jones up from US 130 00:06:04,428 --> 00:06:07,188 Speaker 1: fifteen and a half sacks. Can't let him wreck the game. 131 00:06:07,468 --> 00:06:09,828 Speaker 1: And for Jacksonville on the back end, they're going against 132 00:06:09,828 --> 00:06:12,508 Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes and they have a young secondary that has 133 00:06:12,508 --> 00:06:15,068 Speaker 1: played really well. And I know they gave up points 134 00:06:15,108 --> 00:06:16,668 Speaker 1: to the charges, but a lot of that was in 135 00:06:16,708 --> 00:06:19,508 Speaker 1: the first half when your offense turns the ball over 136 00:06:19,868 --> 00:06:22,948 Speaker 1: five different times and you're giving an opponent the ball 137 00:06:23,068 --> 00:06:25,588 Speaker 1: in scoring territory. But you look at them and they 138 00:06:25,668 --> 00:06:27,988 Speaker 1: have young guys and Tyson Campbell on the outside and 139 00:06:28,108 --> 00:06:30,748 Speaker 1: Darius Williams. These guys can cover and you're gonna have 140 00:06:30,788 --> 00:06:33,548 Speaker 1: to do that because Kansas City is throwing all their 141 00:06:33,548 --> 00:06:36,308 Speaker 1: weapons at you. The linebacker position of Louis conn who 142 00:06:36,348 --> 00:06:38,828 Speaker 1: has a ton of tackles, and Lloyd. You have Travis 143 00:06:38,908 --> 00:06:41,588 Speaker 1: Kelsey this week. You have to do more than just 144 00:06:41,668 --> 00:06:45,028 Speaker 1: tackle ball carriers because he's running routes all over you. 145 00:06:45,228 --> 00:06:48,228 Speaker 1: So to get into the exits and olds, Jacksonville put 146 00:06:48,308 --> 00:06:50,788 Speaker 1: up points. You have to put up points to stay 147 00:06:50,788 --> 00:06:53,828 Speaker 1: in the game with Kansas City. You mentioned Joe Burrow. 148 00:06:54,068 --> 00:06:56,228 Speaker 1: They had an offense, they had weapons. He went in there, 149 00:06:56,308 --> 00:06:57,868 Speaker 1: went toe to toe with him. They're got to do 150 00:06:57,908 --> 00:07:00,828 Speaker 1: the same this weekend. Arrowhead's a really special place to 151 00:07:00,908 --> 00:07:02,988 Speaker 1: play a game, especially if you play for the Chiefs. 152 00:07:02,988 --> 00:07:05,028 Speaker 1: It's a real nasty place to play. If you got 153 00:07:05,028 --> 00:07:08,268 Speaker 1: to go in in the postseason. Jaguars Trivel Larns can't 154 00:07:08,268 --> 00:07:09,788 Speaker 1: turn the ball over three times in the first half. 155 00:07:09,988 --> 00:07:11,868 Speaker 1: If you do it, you're gonna get down twenty seven 156 00:07:11,908 --> 00:07:13,828 Speaker 1: a thing and you are not coming back against the 157 00:07:13,868 --> 00:07:16,068 Speaker 1: Chiefs in Arrowhead if that happens. I'm sorry. It's just 158 00:07:16,348 --> 00:07:18,388 Speaker 1: that to me, I find one of the few truths 159 00:07:18,388 --> 00:07:21,228 Speaker 1: in the NFL. It's that is an impossible place to 160 00:07:21,268 --> 00:07:23,188 Speaker 1: come back from. They will not allow you to hear 161 00:07:23,228 --> 00:07:25,668 Speaker 1: your own thoughts. If you are down twenty seven, nothing 162 00:07:25,828 --> 00:07:28,468 Speaker 1: if you hand the ball back to their team three 163 00:07:28,508 --> 00:07:30,628 Speaker 1: times in the first half. The last two games we've 164 00:07:30,628 --> 00:07:33,068 Speaker 1: seen the Jags have been really fun. They've been a thriller, 165 00:07:33,228 --> 00:07:35,588 Speaker 1: was a win, and in game against the Titans it 166 00:07:35,748 --> 00:07:38,068 Speaker 1: was kind of ugly, but they did it. We felt 167 00:07:38,068 --> 00:07:39,948 Speaker 1: great for them. They play their way into the playoffs 168 00:07:39,948 --> 00:07:42,468 Speaker 1: and then would happened go down at halftime against the Chargers. 169 00:07:42,508 --> 00:07:46,308 Speaker 1: But guess what those games were at home. The Jags fans, 170 00:07:46,308 --> 00:07:48,628 Speaker 1: they're at home. They're like, guys, we're good. Let's stay quiet, 171 00:07:48,708 --> 00:07:51,708 Speaker 1: Let's keep the offense calm. You cannot go to arrowhead 172 00:07:51,748 --> 00:07:53,908 Speaker 1: and get down. If you have any chance of doing this, Jags, 173 00:07:53,948 --> 00:07:56,428 Speaker 1: you got to play even. You gotta play nasty. To 174 00:07:56,548 --> 00:07:59,508 Speaker 1: Jason's point, three turnovers. That seems to be the special number. 175 00:07:59,508 --> 00:08:01,068 Speaker 1: If you were able to do that in the regular 176 00:08:01,108 --> 00:08:03,148 Speaker 1: seasons against the Chiefs, maybe try to do it again. 177 00:08:03,188 --> 00:08:06,148 Speaker 1: But you certainly can't cough up yourselves when you're on 178 00:08:06,148 --> 00:08:07,868 Speaker 1: the road. Yeah, Jamie, that's such a big point, and 179 00:08:08,108 --> 00:08:10,468 Speaker 1: especially you're going up against basically the goliath of the 180 00:08:10,468 --> 00:08:13,988 Speaker 1: playoffs or the division round, right, Patrick Mahomes is undefeated. 181 00:08:14,108 --> 00:08:15,988 Speaker 1: He's four and old in divisional playoff games. As you 182 00:08:16,028 --> 00:08:18,868 Speaker 1: yet throw an interception. So I mean, if you're going 183 00:08:18,948 --> 00:08:20,868 Speaker 1: up against guy who's just not going to give it away, 184 00:08:20,948 --> 00:08:22,668 Speaker 1: you certainly can't do if you bring up a good 185 00:08:22,668 --> 00:08:24,988 Speaker 1: point of now going on the road, and Jacksonville ended 186 00:08:25,028 --> 00:08:28,268 Speaker 1: their season basically playing playoff games and two to one 187 00:08:28,308 --> 00:08:30,268 Speaker 1: Stars ended the season that they played on the role 188 00:08:30,428 --> 00:08:32,908 Speaker 1: was after New York Jets and out of Houston, Texas. 189 00:08:33,108 --> 00:08:36,068 Speaker 1: That's not the same point that they're going to face. 190 00:08:36,068 --> 00:08:37,988 Speaker 1: They had that great comeback against the Ravens, it was 191 00:08:38,068 --> 00:08:40,388 Speaker 1: at home. They had that great comeback against the Cowboys. 192 00:08:40,468 --> 00:08:42,628 Speaker 1: It was at home. They beat Tennessee in Week eighteen, 193 00:08:42,788 --> 00:08:45,068 Speaker 1: it was at home. They beat the Chargers in the wildcard. 194 00:08:45,148 --> 00:08:48,428 Speaker 1: It was at home. Going into Arrowhead is a different beast. 195 00:08:48,588 --> 00:08:50,868 Speaker 1: Such a good point. All right, rap sheet, what's happening? 196 00:08:50,908 --> 00:08:53,628 Speaker 1: We just talk Jags Chargers. Let's hang with the Chargers 197 00:08:53,628 --> 00:08:55,788 Speaker 1: as we check in with Ian Rappaport. They went up 198 00:08:55,828 --> 00:08:58,228 Speaker 1: twenty seven nothing on the Jags late in the second quarter. 199 00:08:58,348 --> 00:09:01,148 Speaker 1: The Bolts managed to only put up three points in 200 00:09:01,188 --> 00:09:04,668 Speaker 1: that dramatic collapse. What changes have the Chargers made since 201 00:09:04,708 --> 00:09:08,148 Speaker 1: then significant changes for the Los Angeles Chargers, and you're 202 00:09:08,228 --> 00:09:10,348 Speaker 1: right in that second half. Couldn't the run the ball 203 00:09:10,388 --> 00:09:12,868 Speaker 1: at all, couldn't stay on the field, couldn't get first 204 00:09:12,868 --> 00:09:15,068 Speaker 1: downs when they need to, could only execute the offense 205 00:09:15,068 --> 00:09:17,468 Speaker 1: and the identity of the offense. It was really kind 206 00:09:17,468 --> 00:09:20,068 Speaker 1: of a mystery all year. And now there has been 207 00:09:20,148 --> 00:09:23,508 Speaker 1: two people to basically take the blame for that. Joe Lombardi, 208 00:09:23,548 --> 00:09:25,508 Speaker 1: the offensive coordinator for the last two years for Brandon 209 00:09:25,588 --> 00:09:29,028 Speaker 1: Staley and the Los Angeles Chargers, has been fired. Pass 210 00:09:29,108 --> 00:09:32,948 Speaker 1: game coordinator and quarterbacks coach Shane Day fired as well, 211 00:09:33,148 --> 00:09:36,268 Speaker 1: So two big openings for the Chargers. Brandon Staley's job 212 00:09:36,308 --> 00:09:39,148 Speaker 1: status never really in doubt, didn't seem to be any 213 00:09:39,228 --> 00:09:42,308 Speaker 1: question there, but certainly on his staff there were some questions. 214 00:09:42,388 --> 00:09:45,188 Speaker 1: Now Lombardi is out, and I would say prime offensive 215 00:09:45,188 --> 00:09:48,668 Speaker 1: coordinator opening. You think they'll get some coordinator who might 216 00:09:48,708 --> 00:09:50,748 Speaker 1: want to work with Justin Herbert. I think they might 217 00:09:50,788 --> 00:09:52,588 Speaker 1: have a pretty long list there. Obviously, we will be 218 00:09:52,628 --> 00:09:55,908 Speaker 1: following that one, just like we will be following Sean Payton. 219 00:09:56,348 --> 00:09:59,428 Speaker 1: The most intriguing, I would say head coaching candidate. He 220 00:09:59,508 --> 00:10:02,988 Speaker 1: met with the Denver Broncos last night was one that 221 00:10:03,068 --> 00:10:06,148 Speaker 1: was his second I would a full interview with an 222 00:10:06,228 --> 00:10:09,348 Speaker 1: NFL team in this cycle. The Houston Texans went the 223 00:10:09,428 --> 00:10:11,468 Speaker 1: night before that. He's got the Carolina Panthers known or 224 00:10:11,548 --> 00:10:15,108 Speaker 1: Dave Pepper in New York later this week. Still remains 225 00:10:15,148 --> 00:10:17,028 Speaker 1: to be seen whether or not Peyton will take one 226 00:10:17,068 --> 00:10:20,388 Speaker 1: another's interest from his end. But will he leave the 227 00:10:20,428 --> 00:10:22,948 Speaker 1: Fox Booth and give up hanging out with Schreeger to 228 00:10:23,108 --> 00:10:26,188 Speaker 1: just be an NFL coach again? Obviously time will tell, 229 00:10:26,228 --> 00:10:30,868 Speaker 1: but a very important decision looming. Listen, I know there 230 00:10:30,868 --> 00:10:35,348 Speaker 1: are heavy terms that it would take for the New 231 00:10:35,428 --> 00:10:38,108 Speaker 1: Orleans Saints to give up Sean Payden, But what he 232 00:10:38,148 --> 00:10:40,428 Speaker 1: would have to give up sitting next to Peter Schreeker 233 00:10:40,468 --> 00:10:42,868 Speaker 1: every week on the Fox Gringhame Show more than a 234 00:10:42,948 --> 00:10:45,348 Speaker 1: one that might be the heaviest emotional list more than 235 00:10:45,468 --> 00:10:49,948 Speaker 1: one real quick of first round draft. As much as 236 00:10:49,988 --> 00:10:52,188 Speaker 1: we joke about an end's on here like I'll bring anything, 237 00:10:52,228 --> 00:10:55,028 Speaker 1: like I'm curious, and I'm saying I'm really honestly curious 238 00:10:55,108 --> 00:10:58,068 Speaker 1: to the Saints ask for more from Carolina than they 239 00:10:58,068 --> 00:11:01,468 Speaker 1: would from Denver Houston because their division rivals like all 240 00:11:01,508 --> 00:11:06,388 Speaker 1: that stuff is so does course on the fly? Yeah, yeah, 241 00:11:06,468 --> 00:11:10,188 Speaker 1: for Denver to this, but for Carolina it's this. Yeah, 242 00:11:10,188 --> 00:11:13,468 Speaker 1: that's a great point. And from my understanding, Carolina has 243 00:11:13,468 --> 00:11:15,868 Speaker 1: gone into this knowing that the Saints are going to 244 00:11:15,988 --> 00:11:18,868 Speaker 1: charge them more for Sean Payton. And that makes sense 245 00:11:18,948 --> 00:11:20,788 Speaker 1: because if you're the Saints and you don't want to 246 00:11:20,828 --> 00:11:22,788 Speaker 1: see Sean Payton twice a year, you gotta make someone 247 00:11:22,868 --> 00:11:25,668 Speaker 1: pay for it. That really is like the ultimate leverage 248 00:11:25,668 --> 00:11:28,068 Speaker 1: for Mickey Loomis. I don't know if he's going to Carolina, 249 00:11:28,108 --> 00:11:30,548 Speaker 1: but if he does, it's going to be very expensive. 250 00:11:30,788 --> 00:11:32,588 Speaker 1: That's it. He's a very good coach, so I would 251 00:11:32,588 --> 00:11:36,988 Speaker 1: imagine he'd be worth any of those prices. It's time 252 00:11:37,028 --> 00:11:39,108 Speaker 1: for what's your Beef? Presented by Old Trapper Beef Turke. 253 00:11:39,148 --> 00:11:40,948 Speaker 1: You have a little bit of a story. So watching 254 00:11:40,988 --> 00:11:43,788 Speaker 1: the game on Saturday afternoon between the forty nine Ers 255 00:11:43,828 --> 00:11:46,548 Speaker 1: and the Seahawks, and forty nine ers drive down, they 256 00:11:46,628 --> 00:11:49,468 Speaker 1: score touchdowns Chrish McCaffrey sixty eight yard run, then they 257 00:11:49,468 --> 00:11:52,428 Speaker 1: punch it in for a touchdown, and you know, naive 258 00:11:52,588 --> 00:11:55,228 Speaker 1: little me who enjoys watching football on a Saturday afternoon, 259 00:11:55,268 --> 00:11:58,828 Speaker 1: decides to tweet like, wow, how is brock Purty doing this? 260 00:11:59,468 --> 00:12:02,588 Speaker 1: And I subsequently lost my head by the Twitter followers 261 00:12:02,588 --> 00:12:05,188 Speaker 1: that were like, what are you saying? That wasn't him? 262 00:12:05,428 --> 00:12:08,348 Speaker 1: He's so basic, he's simple. He's got Hall of famers. 263 00:12:08,348 --> 00:12:09,948 Speaker 1: He's staring too, he's got a Hall of Fame coach. 264 00:12:10,028 --> 00:12:13,588 Speaker 1: All his coach does is wow. Sorry, okay, so forty 265 00:12:13,628 --> 00:12:16,868 Speaker 1: Niners win. They put up five hundred yards of offense 266 00:12:17,108 --> 00:12:19,028 Speaker 1: and brock Purty has a hell of a second half. 267 00:12:19,788 --> 00:12:22,588 Speaker 1: How am I allowed to tweet that rock Purty is good? 268 00:12:22,828 --> 00:12:25,428 Speaker 1: I'm so sick of this. I'm sick of the Rock 269 00:12:25,548 --> 00:12:28,268 Speaker 1: Purty is good. Dot dot dot Yeah, but he's got 270 00:12:28,468 --> 00:12:30,868 Speaker 1: Why can't it just be brock Purty is good? Period? 271 00:12:31,228 --> 00:12:34,148 Speaker 1: Why do we have to constantly be moving the goalposts 272 00:12:34,188 --> 00:12:36,628 Speaker 1: on this guy? Why is it like, oh, was his 273 00:12:36,748 --> 00:12:39,268 Speaker 1: home his first home start against Tom Brady of Tampa 274 00:12:39,308 --> 00:12:41,708 Speaker 1: Bay is not that good? His first roadstart he won 275 00:12:41,748 --> 00:12:44,388 Speaker 1: that well, Seattle is not that good. Well, his first 276 00:12:44,388 --> 00:12:47,548 Speaker 1: playoff win, he didn't have a good first half. No, no no, no, 277 00:12:47,748 --> 00:12:49,948 Speaker 1: he can just be good, period. I'm sick and tired 278 00:12:50,108 --> 00:12:53,068 Speaker 1: hearing this. It's not like he's it's tennis like Raphael 279 00:12:53,188 --> 00:12:57,028 Speaker 1: Nadal loss today. He's an individual sport player. That's on RAFA. 280 00:12:57,308 --> 00:12:59,268 Speaker 1: That's not on his strings or his racket, or his 281 00:12:59,388 --> 00:13:02,708 Speaker 1: coach or the ground. It's on Tom Brady. He didn't 282 00:13:02,708 --> 00:13:04,908 Speaker 1: have a great season. The team wasn't that great. They 283 00:13:04,908 --> 00:13:07,748 Speaker 1: were injured, the offensive line struggled. This guy is good 284 00:13:07,868 --> 00:13:10,508 Speaker 1: on a good team. Both can exist. It doesn't have 285 00:13:10,588 --> 00:13:12,788 Speaker 1: to be he's only good because he has good players. 286 00:13:13,308 --> 00:13:16,668 Speaker 1: He's just good, period. Stop knocking the guy. Sick of it. 287 00:13:16,828 --> 00:13:19,828 Speaker 1: He's not simple, He's not basic. That take isn't simple. 288 00:13:19,828 --> 00:13:23,548 Speaker 1: It's not basic anymore. Brock Pretty's good, period. That's it. 289 00:13:23,628 --> 00:13:25,828 Speaker 1: That's my beef. I just got my hend bit off 290 00:13:26,308 --> 00:13:28,628 Speaker 1: by people for saying that he was good just because 291 00:13:28,668 --> 00:13:30,748 Speaker 1: on one touchdown drive I did acknowledge the fact that 292 00:13:30,788 --> 00:13:34,028 Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey went sixty eight yards. I am sorry. Then 293 00:13:34,108 --> 00:13:35,828 Speaker 1: let's talk about the second half. And then people were 294 00:13:35,828 --> 00:13:37,268 Speaker 1: all up in arms about him. What did guys say? 295 00:13:37,268 --> 00:13:39,828 Speaker 1: Do you ever get this feel? People want to see 296 00:13:39,868 --> 00:13:42,188 Speaker 1: the other shoe to drop because historically the other shoe 297 00:13:42,188 --> 00:13:44,508 Speaker 1: always drops. It hasn't yet with Purdy, right, it hasn't 298 00:13:44,548 --> 00:13:47,108 Speaker 1: dropped yet. You are right on He's playing not only good, 299 00:13:47,228 --> 00:13:50,148 Speaker 1: he's playing great. Yes, he made plays where he had 300 00:13:50,188 --> 00:13:52,388 Speaker 1: to move around the pocket get people open. It was 301 00:13:52,428 --> 00:13:56,908 Speaker 1: a pastor Brandon Yoo got dropped. We're gonna talk about 302 00:13:56,908 --> 00:14:13,188 Speaker 1: these playoff teams. That's my beef, good beef. Signer Will 303 00:14:13,228 --> 00:14:15,948 Speaker 1: Selva out on the West Coast. He's gonna roll us 304 00:14:15,948 --> 00:14:17,828 Speaker 1: through a couple of news stories and then tee us 305 00:14:17,908 --> 00:14:21,628 Speaker 1: up for a fascinating conversation on the back end. What's up, Will? Oh? Yes, 306 00:14:21,788 --> 00:14:24,468 Speaker 1: I can't wait for that conversation, and know you guys 307 00:14:24,508 --> 00:14:28,308 Speaker 1: can't either, Jamie. I will do my obligation right now 308 00:14:28,348 --> 00:14:31,228 Speaker 1: and do the news, starting with Detroit, a team that 309 00:14:31,268 --> 00:14:34,868 Speaker 1: we certainly at least from AFAR liked what they were building, 310 00:14:35,268 --> 00:14:38,988 Speaker 1: like what they were doing. Their offensive coordinator Ben Johnson 311 00:14:39,108 --> 00:14:41,948 Speaker 1: became a real hot coaching candidate that was mentioned a 312 00:14:41,988 --> 00:14:45,388 Speaker 1: lot in these vacancies. He was scheduled to interview with 313 00:14:45,428 --> 00:14:49,508 Speaker 1: the Panthers today after already interviewing with the Cults and 314 00:14:49,628 --> 00:14:53,588 Speaker 1: the Texans. But now he's telling teams thanks but no thanks, 315 00:14:53,988 --> 00:14:57,388 Speaker 1: I'm good. NFL networking side or Tom Paula Sarah reporting, 316 00:14:57,468 --> 00:15:01,108 Speaker 1: Johnson has informed interested clubs that he will remain on 317 00:15:01,188 --> 00:15:05,628 Speaker 1: Dan Campbell's staff, Tom adding that Johnson is of the 318 00:15:05,628 --> 00:15:09,268 Speaker 1: belief that something special is being built in Detroit and 319 00:15:09,348 --> 00:15:11,428 Speaker 1: he wants to see it through his first year in 320 00:15:11,468 --> 00:15:15,188 Speaker 1: the Motor City. Detroit's offense finished third in total yards, 321 00:15:15,308 --> 00:15:21,028 Speaker 1: up from twenty second this season before down in Tampa. 322 00:15:21,428 --> 00:15:23,628 Speaker 1: Tom Brady's future with the Bucks up in the air, 323 00:15:23,788 --> 00:15:27,588 Speaker 1: as is that of offensive coordinator Byron Lepwich. Head coach 324 00:15:27,668 --> 00:15:31,188 Speaker 1: Todd Bowles, saying there hasn't been any decision made on 325 00:15:31,308 --> 00:15:34,348 Speaker 1: Leptwich's status and that he'll meet with the staff at 326 00:15:34,388 --> 00:15:37,348 Speaker 1: the end of the week. The Bucks were twenty fifth 327 00:15:37,388 --> 00:15:40,668 Speaker 1: and points per game this season, after finishing second in 328 00:15:40,788 --> 00:15:45,108 Speaker 1: twenty twenty one. The season in Green Bay didn't go 329 00:15:45,188 --> 00:15:47,988 Speaker 1: with Aaron Rodgers and the pack had hoped, missing the 330 00:15:48,028 --> 00:15:51,268 Speaker 1: playoffs for the first time since twenty eighteen. Now, much 331 00:15:51,308 --> 00:15:55,228 Speaker 1: like Tom Brady's future in Tampa, Rogers career with the 332 00:15:55,268 --> 00:15:58,468 Speaker 1: Packers in Limbo. He's what he had to say on 333 00:15:58,508 --> 00:16:00,988 Speaker 1: The Pat mcavie Show on Tuesday. We had all the 334 00:16:00,988 --> 00:16:03,428 Speaker 1: conversations like we wanted to have about football for now, 335 00:16:03,788 --> 00:16:07,268 Speaker 1: you know, the pressing for any type of specific answer, 336 00:16:07,308 --> 00:16:10,508 Speaker 1: and I'm not mentally or emotionally at that point to 337 00:16:10,588 --> 00:16:12,868 Speaker 1: give one Do I still think I can play? Of course, 338 00:16:13,308 --> 00:16:15,628 Speaker 1: of course can't play at high level? Yeah, the highest 339 00:16:15,908 --> 00:16:19,188 Speaker 1: you can win MVP again, the right situation. Right situation 340 00:16:19,308 --> 00:16:20,988 Speaker 1: is that Green Bay or is that somewhere else. I'm 341 00:16:21,028 --> 00:16:24,028 Speaker 1: not sure. Roger's coming out the season where he had 342 00:16:24,068 --> 00:16:27,388 Speaker 1: his second lowest passer rating since two thousand and six, 343 00:16:27,748 --> 00:16:30,988 Speaker 1: which was his second year in the league, but it 344 00:16:31,028 --> 00:16:33,468 Speaker 1: sounds like he has a lot in the tank. It's 345 00:16:33,508 --> 00:16:35,588 Speaker 1: just a matter of whether he's going to be in 346 00:16:35,748 --> 00:16:39,548 Speaker 1: Green Bay or somewhere else. Either way, I'm just glad 347 00:16:39,628 --> 00:16:42,508 Speaker 1: As a show, Jamie and guys will just casually touch 348 00:16:42,588 --> 00:16:45,148 Speaker 1: upon it in the off season, not really give it 349 00:16:45,188 --> 00:16:49,028 Speaker 1: a lot of attention, you know, just maybe occasional talks 350 00:16:49,068 --> 00:16:52,188 Speaker 1: about it, and we'll just leave a little bit of 351 00:16:52,228 --> 00:16:55,188 Speaker 1: time in the show. He says, one thing, we clear 352 00:16:55,228 --> 00:16:57,948 Speaker 1: out an entire block pertaining to a team that's still 353 00:16:57,948 --> 00:16:59,668 Speaker 1: in the playoffs to talk about this now. We have 354 00:16:59,708 --> 00:17:02,148 Speaker 1: to because it's interesting. What do we think of Rogers 355 00:17:02,228 --> 00:17:04,988 Speaker 1: saying not only is that he needs the right situation, 356 00:17:05,108 --> 00:17:07,508 Speaker 1: whether that be in Green Bay or somewhere else, but 357 00:17:07,588 --> 00:17:10,988 Speaker 1: also that he can win another MVP Jason waiting with 358 00:17:11,148 --> 00:17:13,508 Speaker 1: this as I listened to him tall and I know 359 00:17:13,668 --> 00:17:15,828 Speaker 1: everybody's saying, like, oh, do you think he can still 360 00:17:15,828 --> 00:17:18,348 Speaker 1: play at a high level? And MVPN is at there 361 00:17:18,348 --> 00:17:20,588 Speaker 1: the most important thing or what's stuck out to meet 362 00:17:20,628 --> 00:17:23,068 Speaker 1: him most? Is it in Green Bay? I don't know. 363 00:17:23,508 --> 00:17:26,548 Speaker 1: For Green Bay fans, do you want Aaron Rodgers back? 364 00:17:26,588 --> 00:17:28,748 Speaker 1: Do you think he's the answer? Are You're like, Hey, 365 00:17:28,828 --> 00:17:31,508 Speaker 1: let's get his cap, get that offer, Let's go add 366 00:17:31,628 --> 00:17:34,268 Speaker 1: good players and see what we can do. Aaron Rodgers 367 00:17:34,348 --> 00:17:36,468 Speaker 1: is still a very good quarterback. Can he still win 368 00:17:36,508 --> 00:17:38,948 Speaker 1: an MVP? I have no reason to doubt that if 369 00:17:38,948 --> 00:17:41,308 Speaker 1: he's in the right situation with a ton of weapons 370 00:17:41,348 --> 00:17:44,428 Speaker 1: around him. We watched Tom Brady in two and nineteen 371 00:17:44,668 --> 00:17:47,148 Speaker 1: where he loses his last game with annoyingman Patriots, throws 372 00:17:47,148 --> 00:17:49,628 Speaker 1: an interception to Logan Ryan, and then he goes to 373 00:17:49,708 --> 00:17:51,988 Speaker 1: Tampa Bay, a team that hadn't been in the playoffs forever, 374 00:17:52,228 --> 00:17:54,148 Speaker 1: but a ton of weapons around him in a good 375 00:17:54,188 --> 00:17:57,148 Speaker 1: defense for Aaron Rodgers. If he's not in Green Bay 376 00:17:57,308 --> 00:17:59,948 Speaker 1: next year and he joins a team with some really 377 00:17:59,948 --> 00:18:02,708 Speaker 1: good receivers on the outside, good coaching in the defense, 378 00:18:03,148 --> 00:18:05,028 Speaker 1: I have no reason to believe that he can't play 379 00:18:05,068 --> 00:18:07,348 Speaker 1: at an extremely high level and be right amongst the 380 00:18:07,388 --> 00:18:09,828 Speaker 1: top quarterbacks in the NFL, one of the best quarterbacks 381 00:18:09,828 --> 00:18:12,668 Speaker 1: I've ever seen play live in person and on TV. 382 00:18:12,988 --> 00:18:14,668 Speaker 1: I mean, Aaron Rodgers. If he pulled his wallet out 383 00:18:14,748 --> 00:18:18,028 Speaker 1: right now, I would say bad mffort on it. I 384 00:18:18,108 --> 00:18:22,188 Speaker 1: think the thing that I just I have I WinCE 385 00:18:22,468 --> 00:18:25,388 Speaker 1: when I hear that interview is yeah, I think I 386 00:18:25,388 --> 00:18:28,668 Speaker 1: can come back and win an MVP. No, I want 387 00:18:28,668 --> 00:18:31,108 Speaker 1: to win a LOBARTI like, yeah, Like that's the thing 388 00:18:31,148 --> 00:18:34,508 Speaker 1: that I wins at is like, like Aaron Rodgers, I mean, 389 00:18:34,828 --> 00:18:36,588 Speaker 1: he's gonna go down to one of the best quarterbacks 390 00:18:36,588 --> 00:18:39,308 Speaker 1: who've ever played this game. He has made Packers fans 391 00:18:39,348 --> 00:18:42,428 Speaker 1: forget about Brett Farr, respectfully, but when you look at 392 00:18:42,468 --> 00:18:45,068 Speaker 1: what he's done, it's unbelievable. This last season was an 393 00:18:45,108 --> 00:18:48,028 Speaker 1: anomaly to me. Yeah, I think about this. Aaron Rodgers 394 00:18:48,028 --> 00:18:49,948 Speaker 1: did not throw for three hundred yards one time this 395 00:18:50,148 --> 00:18:53,828 Speaker 1: entire season once. That's pretty remarkable, and when you think 396 00:18:53,868 --> 00:18:56,548 Speaker 1: about what he has done throughout his career. But to me, 397 00:18:56,668 --> 00:19:01,108 Speaker 1: I think that's a missed opportunity. MVPs are great that's awesome. 398 00:19:01,108 --> 00:19:03,828 Speaker 1: But I've never heard a quarterback, a Hall of Fame 399 00:19:03,908 --> 00:19:06,028 Speaker 1: quarterback talk about I really loved when an MVP. No, 400 00:19:06,108 --> 00:19:09,028 Speaker 1: it's all about the trophy, the team, the Lombardi you 401 00:19:09,028 --> 00:19:12,308 Speaker 1: played for, the Packers, and Lombardi's name is on that trophy. 402 00:19:12,428 --> 00:19:15,628 Speaker 1: It's title town. It's not MVP town. Good point. You know, 403 00:19:15,708 --> 00:19:18,188 Speaker 1: it's last year. At this time, it was a fascinating 404 00:19:18,228 --> 00:19:20,308 Speaker 1: topic and that Aaron Rodgers was coming off an MVP 405 00:19:20,468 --> 00:19:23,348 Speaker 1: season and the Packers just came up just short, losing 406 00:19:23,388 --> 00:19:25,548 Speaker 1: to that forty niners team in the division around at 407 00:19:25,548 --> 00:19:26,668 Speaker 1: home and they were the number one seat and all 408 00:19:26,668 --> 00:19:28,268 Speaker 1: this stuff. I feel like this doesn't have the same 409 00:19:28,428 --> 00:19:30,108 Speaker 1: teeth in it that it might have had last year. 410 00:19:30,268 --> 00:19:33,308 Speaker 1: You know, he got the monster contract. He comes back 411 00:19:33,708 --> 00:19:36,388 Speaker 1: and like to hear that now it's okay, Like if 412 00:19:36,428 --> 00:19:38,548 Speaker 1: he goes to Vegas, like all right, so then there's okay. 413 00:19:38,828 --> 00:19:42,108 Speaker 1: What's Lamar doing or what's Brady doing. I was fixated 414 00:19:42,148 --> 00:19:44,028 Speaker 1: on this last year. I thought was most fascinating story 415 00:19:44,068 --> 00:19:46,308 Speaker 1: in football as the team that had it wins, missed 416 00:19:46,348 --> 00:19:48,548 Speaker 1: the playoffs and their quarterbacks thirty eight years old and 417 00:19:48,588 --> 00:19:50,468 Speaker 1: makes a billion dollars like if you go somewhere else, 418 00:19:50,468 --> 00:19:51,988 Speaker 1: to go somewhere else and we'll talk about him there 419 00:19:51,988 --> 00:19:53,868 Speaker 1: and he can bring it back and maybe he and 420 00:19:53,948 --> 00:19:55,948 Speaker 1: Davante are in Vegas and that's an awesome story and 421 00:19:55,988 --> 00:19:57,308 Speaker 1: we can do that. But like right now, with the 422 00:19:57,308 --> 00:19:59,508 Speaker 1: playoffs going on and all right, let's back burner that 423 00:19:59,548 --> 00:20:02,188 Speaker 1: a little bit, because I think the Lamar situation's fascinating, 424 00:20:02,228 --> 00:20:05,308 Speaker 1: the Brady situation's fascinating. I think where Sean Payton goes 425 00:20:05,428 --> 00:20:07,428 Speaker 1: is fascinating. I think where the Rams do with their 426 00:20:07,508 --> 00:20:09,988 Speaker 1: roster right now is fascinating, like it's a storyline. But 427 00:20:10,468 --> 00:20:12,188 Speaker 1: I don't think it's the fixation it might have been 428 00:20:12,228 --> 00:20:14,588 Speaker 1: maybe a year ago today here, I'm right there with you. 429 00:20:15,228 --> 00:20:17,508 Speaker 1: It definitely has a Yeah, just let us know when 430 00:20:17,548 --> 00:20:21,268 Speaker 1: it's done because the obsession there, And I am absolutely 431 00:20:21,268 --> 00:20:23,228 Speaker 1: with you Sean. On the if Tom Brady said all 432 00:20:23,228 --> 00:20:24,628 Speaker 1: I want to do is in an MVP next year, 433 00:20:24,628 --> 00:20:27,708 Speaker 1: people would be up in arms, just weird, strange like 434 00:20:28,148 --> 00:20:30,588 Speaker 1: goal setting in the off season. I think he said 435 00:20:30,748 --> 00:20:32,508 Speaker 1: I can win the MVD. I don't think it's all 436 00:20:32,548 --> 00:20:34,468 Speaker 1: I want to do it just in his defense, he 437 00:20:34,508 --> 00:20:37,348 Speaker 1: didn't say that, but I can't. It's easy to say. 438 00:20:37,588 --> 00:20:39,388 Speaker 1: I can go on and lead a team to a 439 00:20:39,428 --> 00:20:42,348 Speaker 1: long He's an MVP. He's done everything in his power 440 00:20:42,668 --> 00:20:45,948 Speaker 1: to win in Lombardi. If you're the MVP in the league, 441 00:20:45,988 --> 00:20:49,508 Speaker 1: you are the best player. Patrick Mahomes wins MVP this year, 442 00:20:49,748 --> 00:20:52,268 Speaker 1: that means to I'll the season. He did everything he 443 00:20:52,388 --> 00:20:55,348 Speaker 1: can to put his team in the best possible position 444 00:20:55,748 --> 00:20:59,268 Speaker 1: to win a Lombardi. There's more variables and assets that 445 00:20:59,508 --> 00:21:01,428 Speaker 1: have to help win a Lombardi. You just said he 446 00:21:01,428 --> 00:21:03,348 Speaker 1: didn't throw for three hundred yards. A lot of that 447 00:21:03,508 --> 00:21:05,748 Speaker 1: was he was handing the ball all to the running 448 00:21:05,748 --> 00:21:07,828 Speaker 1: backs because that was the strength of the team that's 449 00:21:07,908 --> 00:21:10,188 Speaker 1: making a sacrifice to win it. It's a huge story 450 00:21:10,428 --> 00:21:12,908 Speaker 1: Rogers in his future. I'd be curious in the commercial 451 00:21:12,948 --> 00:21:14,348 Speaker 1: we could talk about and bringing back Is it a 452 00:21:14,388 --> 00:21:17,188 Speaker 1: bigger story than Brady or Lamar? Yeah? And last year 453 00:21:17,388 --> 00:21:20,708 Speaker 1: it was all Roger. Yeah. I'll do this podcast called 454 00:21:20,748 --> 00:21:22,708 Speaker 1: the Season with Peter Schreeger take a lot of pride, 455 00:21:22,748 --> 00:21:25,468 Speaker 1: and I actually love doing it. It's with iHeartRadio in 456 00:21:25,508 --> 00:21:27,468 Speaker 1: the NFL Network and get a chance to speak with 457 00:21:27,588 --> 00:21:30,468 Speaker 1: current coaches, current gms, and in this week's episode, I 458 00:21:30,588 --> 00:21:33,828 Speaker 1: spoke with a two time Super Bowl champion, a Walter 459 00:21:33,948 --> 00:21:35,708 Speaker 1: Payton Man of the Year and a real friend of 460 00:21:35,868 --> 00:21:38,668 Speaker 1: mine and the show, Chris Long. Of course, we talked 461 00:21:38,708 --> 00:21:40,348 Speaker 1: about the latest stuff in the NFL, and he had 462 00:21:40,388 --> 00:21:43,468 Speaker 1: a really interesting take on Lamar Jackson and Baltimore. Take 463 00:21:43,508 --> 00:21:45,468 Speaker 1: a listen. Right out of the gates. I said that 464 00:21:45,708 --> 00:21:48,428 Speaker 1: I think you could see Lamar in Miami before it's 465 00:21:48,428 --> 00:21:50,068 Speaker 1: all said and done, which I think would be a 466 00:21:50,108 --> 00:21:52,548 Speaker 1: lot of fun. Okay, So, like I'm saying that to say, 467 00:21:52,908 --> 00:21:55,508 Speaker 1: it's interesting when you look at certain teams that might 468 00:21:55,588 --> 00:21:57,908 Speaker 1: be suitors for Lamar, because I do think it's he's 469 00:21:57,908 --> 00:21:59,908 Speaker 1: played his last game in Baltimore. I mean they do. 470 00:22:00,188 --> 00:22:02,268 Speaker 1: You don't think that every bridges and burns a player, 471 00:22:02,348 --> 00:22:04,428 Speaker 1: Like once you go through this stuff publicly, it's that 472 00:22:05,068 --> 00:22:07,628 Speaker 1: I think it's I think the bridge was quietly burning 473 00:22:07,708 --> 00:22:09,628 Speaker 1: for a long time, you know, but then this was 474 00:22:09,748 --> 00:22:13,268 Speaker 1: like I do think he was hurt. Obviously was hurt. 475 00:22:13,588 --> 00:22:16,668 Speaker 1: I think we've been dealing in a lot of hypotheticals. Hey, 476 00:22:17,268 --> 00:22:19,068 Speaker 1: we don't know how hurt he is. Some of the 477 00:22:19,148 --> 00:22:22,468 Speaker 1: quotes after the game were like, Lamar's walking around fifty percent, 478 00:22:22,508 --> 00:22:25,628 Speaker 1: He's limping around the facility. I also think after their 479 00:22:25,868 --> 00:22:29,868 Speaker 1: their season finale game against the Bengals that reading the 480 00:22:29,988 --> 00:22:33,628 Speaker 1: quotes from the players, it was pretty telling. Isaiah likely 481 00:22:33,748 --> 00:22:36,308 Speaker 1: had a quote that was like, Lamar will always be family, 482 00:22:37,228 --> 00:22:38,868 Speaker 1: Like what does that mean? It's a rookie in the 483 00:22:38,948 --> 00:22:40,948 Speaker 1: fourth round? Like who just got to know him? Like 484 00:22:41,188 --> 00:22:43,628 Speaker 1: already he's got his back, Yeah, it already got his back. 485 00:22:43,748 --> 00:22:46,828 Speaker 1: He's got his back, but he's always going to be family. 486 00:22:46,988 --> 00:22:51,948 Speaker 1: Sounds like goodbye, use your QR, cod take your camera 487 00:22:52,028 --> 00:22:53,588 Speaker 1: out on the phone. Do it right there. We have 488 00:22:53,828 --> 00:22:57,988 Speaker 1: a great conversation about Lamar. We also talk about why 489 00:22:58,268 --> 00:23:00,748 Speaker 1: my Cliff Kings Merit to Thailand story took off, and 490 00:23:01,188 --> 00:23:03,828 Speaker 1: Chris kind of goes into the NFL industrial complex about 491 00:23:03,828 --> 00:23:05,828 Speaker 1: how everyone's so supposed to do it one way, so 492 00:23:05,948 --> 00:23:08,588 Speaker 1: anytime anyone goes outside the box, as he has done 493 00:23:08,588 --> 00:23:11,108 Speaker 1: with his post playing career, people react in a different way. 494 00:23:11,148 --> 00:23:13,548 Speaker 1: But let's get back to Lamar. Lots to unpack there. 495 00:23:13,588 --> 00:23:15,348 Speaker 1: But the one thing that Chris Long said that I 496 00:23:15,388 --> 00:23:17,908 Speaker 1: thought really resumated me with was that the bridges have 497 00:23:18,028 --> 00:23:20,948 Speaker 1: been burned between Lamar Jackson and the Ravens. Jason, do 498 00:23:20,948 --> 00:23:22,988 Speaker 1: you believe that, like this could be the last time 499 00:23:23,028 --> 00:23:25,108 Speaker 1: we see Lamar Jackson in a Ravens jersey. Yeah, it 500 00:23:25,108 --> 00:23:27,308 Speaker 1: definitely could be. I mean, he's going to be a 501 00:23:27,348 --> 00:23:29,188 Speaker 1: free agent, and yes, I know they have the franchise 502 00:23:29,268 --> 00:23:31,468 Speaker 1: sag that they can place on him. And from my 503 00:23:31,668 --> 00:23:34,268 Speaker 1: own opinion, I'm looking at this Baltimore Ravens franchise, I'm like, 504 00:23:34,468 --> 00:23:37,468 Speaker 1: there's no way you let Lamar Jackson walk out the door. 505 00:23:37,548 --> 00:23:40,988 Speaker 1: But what we just watched from the outside unfold over 506 00:23:41,028 --> 00:23:44,268 Speaker 1: the past the change in a way that the organization 507 00:23:44,348 --> 00:23:46,828 Speaker 1: has talked about his injury, him feeling the need to 508 00:23:46,988 --> 00:23:49,308 Speaker 1: go and tweet about his injury, the different things that 509 00:23:49,428 --> 00:23:52,028 Speaker 1: players have said. There's been so much drama, and then 510 00:23:52,748 --> 00:23:55,748 Speaker 1: what has changed from this past offseason where they weren't 511 00:23:55,788 --> 00:23:58,228 Speaker 1: able to get a deal done that now we believe 512 00:23:58,388 --> 00:24:01,628 Speaker 1: this offseason they're going to get a deal done. Lamar 513 00:24:01,708 --> 00:24:04,308 Speaker 1: went out there, he played knowing he didn't have that security. 514 00:24:04,628 --> 00:24:07,028 Speaker 1: So I'm an agree as with Chris law I do 515 00:24:07,188 --> 00:24:08,828 Speaker 1: think this could be the last time that we see 516 00:24:08,908 --> 00:24:12,228 Speaker 1: Lamar in that Baltimore Ravens jersey. And I kind of hope. 517 00:24:12,268 --> 00:24:15,228 Speaker 1: So we really saw all off season where we're talking 518 00:24:15,268 --> 00:24:18,228 Speaker 1: about things Lamar as a free agent is a lot 519 00:24:18,308 --> 00:24:21,188 Speaker 1: of fun. It's interesting. I said yesterday that the jet 520 00:24:21,228 --> 00:24:23,668 Speaker 1: should go all in the amount of tweets I had 521 00:24:23,828 --> 00:24:26,748 Speaker 1: four and against it. The debate was just a ton 522 00:24:26,828 --> 00:24:29,908 Speaker 1: of fun. Lamar Jackson is an exciting football player and 523 00:24:29,948 --> 00:24:32,268 Speaker 1: I think he can change a franchise around. So Robert 524 00:24:32,308 --> 00:24:35,468 Speaker 1: Griffin came out yesterday and said, you know, not only 525 00:24:35,628 --> 00:24:37,428 Speaker 1: was he hurt, but the reason he didn't travel was 526 00:24:37,468 --> 00:24:40,188 Speaker 1: he was sick. We haven't heard this from Lamar, the 527 00:24:40,268 --> 00:24:42,708 Speaker 1: fact he didn't travel to the playoff game. Do you 528 00:24:42,788 --> 00:24:44,268 Speaker 1: make a big deal out of that? If he was 529 00:24:44,348 --> 00:24:47,148 Speaker 1: really sick, then no. But I do think it's a 530 00:24:47,188 --> 00:24:50,268 Speaker 1: big deal because the week before the game was in 531 00:24:50,388 --> 00:24:54,028 Speaker 1: the same location in Cincinnati, and he's on the sideline, 532 00:24:54,068 --> 00:24:56,628 Speaker 1: and they said during the game they talked about how 533 00:24:56,748 --> 00:24:59,588 Speaker 1: helpful he had been for Huntley and for Brown being 534 00:24:59,668 --> 00:25:02,948 Speaker 1: there as an experienced quarterback. As a veteran sean, I'm 535 00:25:02,948 --> 00:25:04,708 Speaker 1: sure you've too, You've been in a position where you 536 00:25:04,788 --> 00:25:06,828 Speaker 1: might have been hurt, and you've traveled with the team. 537 00:25:06,908 --> 00:25:09,188 Speaker 1: It was a year that I was doing the blue 538 00:25:09,268 --> 00:25:12,988 Speaker 1: surface on the sideline, injured, helping guys out. Lamar Jackson, 539 00:25:13,108 --> 00:25:16,828 Speaker 1: his experienced quarterback or former MVP, a leader on that team. 540 00:25:17,348 --> 00:25:20,708 Speaker 1: Him being there, his presence, his energy is huge for 541 00:25:20,788 --> 00:25:22,908 Speaker 1: those quarterbacks, and the fact that he wasn't there I 542 00:25:23,028 --> 00:25:25,348 Speaker 1: do think it's a big deal because they're an organization. 543 00:25:25,388 --> 00:25:28,388 Speaker 1: I obviously travels injured God one more because Huntley had 544 00:25:28,428 --> 00:25:30,508 Speaker 1: a quote after the game. Do you think it was 545 00:25:30,588 --> 00:25:32,348 Speaker 1: the team who told him not to come or it 546 00:25:32,388 --> 00:25:34,148 Speaker 1: was Lamar say and I ain't going. If we're reading 547 00:25:34,188 --> 00:25:37,348 Speaker 1: into quotes like Isaiah Likely's He'll always be family stup, 548 00:25:37,468 --> 00:25:39,268 Speaker 1: Huntley said it would have been nice if he could 549 00:25:39,348 --> 00:25:42,308 Speaker 1: have come, could have come and say, you know your 550 00:25:42,348 --> 00:25:44,148 Speaker 1: parents wouldn't let you go, then people, you could have 551 00:25:44,228 --> 00:25:46,988 Speaker 1: come outside and play. So there's a couple of wrinkles 552 00:25:47,028 --> 00:25:49,148 Speaker 1: to all this to where you're talking about and to 553 00:25:49,268 --> 00:25:52,548 Speaker 1: your point, there are times where teams will say, no, 554 00:25:52,748 --> 00:25:55,348 Speaker 1: you are not coming and injured, especially because if you 555 00:25:55,468 --> 00:25:58,188 Speaker 1: have an injured leg on the sideline, I can't get 556 00:25:58,188 --> 00:26:00,108 Speaker 1: out of the way to protect yourself. We went through 557 00:26:00,148 --> 00:26:02,108 Speaker 1: that with Jeremy Shocky when won Super Bowl. He was 558 00:26:02,148 --> 00:26:05,548 Speaker 1: up sideline and it was because he was injured and 559 00:26:05,868 --> 00:26:08,228 Speaker 1: they didn't want something bad to happen. But I also 560 00:26:08,388 --> 00:26:11,108 Speaker 1: think when you look at John Harbaugh, he's always had 561 00:26:11,148 --> 00:26:13,308 Speaker 1: a great pulse on his locker room and what's what's 562 00:26:13,388 --> 00:26:15,588 Speaker 1: best for the team. If Lamar knows there's all this 563 00:26:15,628 --> 00:26:17,508 Speaker 1: stuff going on, all his drama, and I'm you, guys 564 00:26:17,548 --> 00:26:18,948 Speaker 1: are going to the playoffs and me being on the 565 00:26:18,988 --> 00:26:20,788 Speaker 1: sidline is going to be a distraction. If he was 566 00:26:20,828 --> 00:26:24,388 Speaker 1: on the sideline, every time Snoopuntley did something wrong or 567 00:26:24,508 --> 00:26:26,868 Speaker 1: something bad or whatever, it's painted to Lamar, it's taken 568 00:26:26,908 --> 00:26:28,908 Speaker 1: away from the team. The one thing he doesn't know that. 569 00:26:29,148 --> 00:26:32,068 Speaker 1: But I'm just saying if John Harbaugh and I talked 570 00:26:32,068 --> 00:26:33,908 Speaker 1: to Lamar and they had a conversation, it was, look, 571 00:26:33,988 --> 00:26:35,308 Speaker 1: I want to be there to support my team. I 572 00:26:35,348 --> 00:26:37,348 Speaker 1: don't want to be distraction, and I don't want other 573 00:26:37,468 --> 00:26:38,948 Speaker 1: I don't want that to be distraction for the other 574 00:26:39,028 --> 00:26:41,308 Speaker 1: quarterbacks or whatever you know they're painting to me on 575 00:26:41,348 --> 00:26:43,788 Speaker 1: the sideline. I think Lamar has always done a good 576 00:26:43,868 --> 00:26:47,108 Speaker 1: job of making about the team. Like Lamar anytime he 577 00:26:47,188 --> 00:26:48,948 Speaker 1: talked about it was like, look, I'm here to win games. 578 00:26:49,708 --> 00:26:51,908 Speaker 1: It's about football. It's about the team. This isn't my team, 579 00:26:51,988 --> 00:26:54,268 Speaker 1: this is our team. Like those are all the things 580 00:26:54,308 --> 00:26:56,148 Speaker 1: that he has said, and I truly think that he 581 00:26:56,228 --> 00:26:58,628 Speaker 1: believes that. And that's not just speak, that's not just 582 00:26:59,028 --> 00:27:01,988 Speaker 1: you know, turning on the filter. The thing that I 583 00:27:02,268 --> 00:27:04,788 Speaker 1: that I hope for Baltimore and for Lamar, I hope 584 00:27:04,828 --> 00:27:06,308 Speaker 1: he stays. I hope we haven't seen the last of 585 00:27:06,348 --> 00:27:08,308 Speaker 1: him in a Ravens jersey for a number of reasons. Look, 586 00:27:08,428 --> 00:27:10,908 Speaker 1: number one, they're gonna franchise, tell you like you have 587 00:27:11,028 --> 00:27:12,988 Speaker 1: no say in it. But I think his relationship with 588 00:27:13,068 --> 00:27:15,068 Speaker 1: John Harbor is the most crucial piece to this and 589 00:27:15,868 --> 00:27:18,828 Speaker 1: what they do with the offense, that's TBD. But if 590 00:27:18,868 --> 00:27:21,948 Speaker 1: he leaves Baltimore, he's just another quarterback to go to 591 00:27:21,948 --> 00:27:23,948 Speaker 1: another team. How to work out for Russell Wilson, Right, 592 00:27:24,388 --> 00:27:26,748 Speaker 1: if you stay in Baltimore, if you find a way 593 00:27:26,788 --> 00:27:30,188 Speaker 1: to bring that Lombardi home in Baltimore. I feel like 594 00:27:30,348 --> 00:27:33,628 Speaker 1: he represents Baltimore as a city more than any other 595 00:27:33,708 --> 00:27:36,708 Speaker 1: player that's ever played for the Ravens, and there's been 596 00:27:36,708 --> 00:27:38,268 Speaker 1: a lot of stars and a lot of still player 597 00:27:38,748 --> 00:27:40,628 Speaker 1: that I hope for his own legacy, I hope that 598 00:27:40,948 --> 00:27:43,468 Speaker 1: is he's able to find a way to mend those 599 00:27:43,508 --> 00:27:46,188 Speaker 1: bridges if they are burned. Is that on him. Are 600 00:27:46,188 --> 00:27:48,028 Speaker 1: you saying that both of them? Are you saying there's 601 00:27:48,028 --> 00:27:50,548 Speaker 1: a knock on quarterbacks that might go to a different place. 602 00:27:50,788 --> 00:27:53,268 Speaker 1: Stafford did it, and I'm saying there's a knock. I'm 603 00:27:53,308 --> 00:27:56,148 Speaker 1: just saying that it's different quarterback for him and his 604 00:27:56,228 --> 00:27:58,588 Speaker 1: relationship with Baltimore. I'm not not not putting that on it, 605 00:27:58,708 --> 00:28:00,748 Speaker 1: but about the city. Talk about for him in his 606 00:28:00,788 --> 00:28:02,948 Speaker 1: connection with the city, he goes and wins it for 607 00:28:02,988 --> 00:28:07,428 Speaker 1: some somewhere else. All right, that's eight. Yeah, you're watch 608 00:28:07,508 --> 00:28:08,988 Speaker 1: over there. Look, you win a super Bowl with another team, 609 00:28:09,028 --> 00:28:11,108 Speaker 1: it's s great. But to your point, Lamar is in 610 00:28:11,188 --> 00:28:15,588 Speaker 1: a different You mentioned that NFL teams like everything you 611 00:28:15,628 --> 00:28:18,668 Speaker 1: know or lined up. Dealing with Lamar is not like 612 00:28:18,908 --> 00:28:21,108 Speaker 1: dealing with other players. He's got a different circle, He's 613 00:28:21,148 --> 00:28:23,028 Speaker 1: got a different representation. I don't even think he has 614 00:28:23,028 --> 00:28:27,028 Speaker 1: an agent. So there's different aspects of this that are 615 00:28:27,108 --> 00:28:30,148 Speaker 1: creating different levels of Hey, look, the communication has got 616 00:28:30,228 --> 00:28:32,708 Speaker 1: to be different. So I think it's on both side. 617 00:28:32,748 --> 00:28:34,468 Speaker 1: It's on Lamar and it's on the team. But I 618 00:28:34,508 --> 00:28:36,668 Speaker 1: think John Harbaugh could be the biggest piece in all that. 619 00:28:38,868 --> 00:28:40,428 Speaker 1: And they figured it out with hund a million, got 620 00:28:40,508 --> 00:28:43,668 Speaker 1: a lawyer representing him a million, but hey, that's a linebacker. 621 00:28:43,948 --> 00:28:46,948 Speaker 1: A lot of the frustration for Lamar might be okay, here, 622 00:28:46,948 --> 00:28:48,868 Speaker 1: I am looking at this and you you, of course, 623 00:28:49,148 --> 00:28:50,868 Speaker 1: Rashod Bateman goes down, what is the first thing the 624 00:28:50,948 --> 00:28:56,228 Speaker 1: Ravens do trade for a linebacker? Draft? Linebackers, defense, jabo, Like, 625 00:28:57,108 --> 00:28:59,068 Speaker 1: I think there's also some of that stuff like why 626 00:28:59,148 --> 00:29:00,828 Speaker 1: can't I get those guys? You know, I don't know, 627 00:29:00,948 --> 00:29:03,828 Speaker 1: that's me, that's me project the decision tree here. I 628 00:29:03,868 --> 00:29:05,948 Speaker 1: always like when we find ourselves kind of like in 629 00:29:06,348 --> 00:29:08,708 Speaker 1: sticky waters, if you will, muddy waters. I'd like to 630 00:29:08,788 --> 00:29:10,868 Speaker 1: go back, like where did this thing start, you know, 631 00:29:10,988 --> 00:29:14,828 Speaker 1: back in August, back last June, when everyone saw the 632 00:29:15,068 --> 00:29:18,148 Speaker 1: contract conversation looming, and every day we'd come to work 633 00:29:18,188 --> 00:29:20,428 Speaker 1: here and be like, maybe it'll break today in training camp. 634 00:29:20,508 --> 00:29:22,548 Speaker 1: Maybe today after practice they'll go up to that office 635 00:29:22,588 --> 00:29:24,348 Speaker 1: have a discussion. I'll come back down and it'll be done. 636 00:29:24,708 --> 00:29:28,788 Speaker 1: Didn't get done this game, this the NFL, these meetings, 637 00:29:28,828 --> 00:29:32,548 Speaker 1: it's it's a situation of egos at times. And I 638 00:29:32,748 --> 00:29:35,828 Speaker 1: don't know, I'm not sure if things have been done 639 00:29:35,908 --> 00:29:39,508 Speaker 1: here between Harbaugh and Lamar, and I'm not saying one 640 00:29:39,588 --> 00:29:41,428 Speaker 1: is at fault or the other. But I just don't 641 00:29:41,468 --> 00:29:43,628 Speaker 1: know how after some of the things that have gone on, 642 00:29:43,788 --> 00:29:46,068 Speaker 1: little things, but little things add up, can they come 643 00:29:46,108 --> 00:29:48,868 Speaker 1: back from this and have this like unbelievable long term 644 00:29:48,948 --> 00:29:51,028 Speaker 1: success relationship. And if it's not going to be good, frankly, 645 00:29:51,068 --> 00:29:52,708 Speaker 1: I don't want to watch it there. I'd rather him 646 00:29:52,708 --> 00:29:54,948 Speaker 1: go somewhere and be happy and play like the Lamar 647 00:29:54,988 --> 00:29:56,948 Speaker 1: that we the franchise him. He can choose not to 648 00:29:57,028 --> 00:29:58,748 Speaker 1: play on. Of course, I want to make a correct 649 00:29:59,108 --> 00:30:00,828 Speaker 1: because the timeline's been murky, and I'm going to correct 650 00:30:00,868 --> 00:30:02,228 Speaker 1: you a little bit just so we don't all right. 651 00:30:02,308 --> 00:30:05,388 Speaker 1: So when they played at Pittsburgh, he was on the sideline, 652 00:30:05,508 --> 00:30:08,548 Speaker 1: arm around Huntley, the whole deal. Week seventeen was a 653 00:30:08,628 --> 00:30:10,868 Speaker 1: home game. He was on the sidelines with the gods. 654 00:30:11,268 --> 00:30:13,788 Speaker 1: Week eighteen Cincinnati. A lot of us were like he 655 00:30:13,908 --> 00:30:18,388 Speaker 1: was there. He wasn't there either, So yeah, and I 656 00:30:18,428 --> 00:30:20,908 Speaker 1: think that's an important piece and I've gotten that wrong also. 657 00:30:20,988 --> 00:30:22,468 Speaker 1: But everyone's trying to figure out, well, I saw him 658 00:30:22,468 --> 00:30:24,588 Speaker 1: on the sidelines all all the stuff that was Pittsburgh, 659 00:30:25,028 --> 00:30:27,788 Speaker 1: that was at Pittsburgh. Now that's me means something changed 660 00:30:28,388 --> 00:30:31,748 Speaker 1: as well, something changed. He was there in Pittsburgh, arm 661 00:30:31,748 --> 00:30:33,828 Speaker 1: around Huntley with the tablet talking him through it. That 662 00:30:33,948 --> 00:30:36,188 Speaker 1: was earlier in the season. I don't know the one 663 00:30:36,228 --> 00:30:38,148 Speaker 1: thing I love about Lamar, and you alluded to it. 664 00:30:38,348 --> 00:30:40,948 Speaker 1: He's said all the right things. He has represented himself 665 00:30:41,028 --> 00:30:44,908 Speaker 1: in that organization extremely well since the moment they drafted him. 666 00:30:45,188 --> 00:30:47,788 Speaker 1: I do not want to hear any Lamar bad teammate, 667 00:30:47,908 --> 00:30:49,628 Speaker 1: selfish and I mean you didn't say that, but just 668 00:30:49,748 --> 00:30:52,308 Speaker 1: in general, he has done everything the right way and 669 00:30:52,628 --> 00:30:56,588 Speaker 1: perform on top of that. Absolutely, it's good the season. 670 00:30:56,708 --> 00:31:14,308 Speaker 1: Peter Schreger, Russia. It's time for a segment I'd love 671 00:31:14,348 --> 00:31:17,108 Speaker 1: to avoid because I despise math. It's called long division. 672 00:31:17,548 --> 00:31:19,868 Speaker 1: The stage is set for the divisional round, and today 673 00:31:19,908 --> 00:31:22,228 Speaker 1: we'll be focusing on the four teams left in the NFC. 674 00:31:22,548 --> 00:31:24,948 Speaker 1: Each of us will focus on one aspect of the game, 675 00:31:25,148 --> 00:31:26,748 Speaker 1: give the player or coach we think will have the 676 00:31:26,788 --> 00:31:29,628 Speaker 1: biggest impact this weekend, and then crunch some numbers on 677 00:31:29,788 --> 00:31:34,308 Speaker 1: why uh something about Matt Sean you start? I love math? Yeah, 678 00:31:34,748 --> 00:31:36,708 Speaker 1: A square plus b square equal seas where I think 679 00:31:36,748 --> 00:31:39,388 Speaker 1: that's calculus right there? A little algebra Mamber all right, listen, 680 00:31:39,508 --> 00:31:43,948 Speaker 1: long division here, NFC West, let's go with the forty 681 00:31:44,068 --> 00:31:46,468 Speaker 1: nine ers. Deebo Samuel, I think he's gonna have a 682 00:31:46,588 --> 00:31:48,548 Speaker 1: huge game. You look back at what he did last week, 683 00:31:49,268 --> 00:31:52,388 Speaker 1: one hundred and sixty five all purpose yards. Deebo Samuel 684 00:31:52,508 --> 00:31:54,108 Speaker 1: can do it all. And look there you see. I 685 00:31:54,148 --> 00:31:55,988 Speaker 1: think that is at the PolyGram theorem over there. Yes 686 00:31:56,068 --> 00:31:59,388 Speaker 1: it is Deebo Samuel. All these crossing routes, and I 687 00:31:59,468 --> 00:32:01,268 Speaker 1: think when you look at this Cowboys defense, this is 688 00:32:01,308 --> 00:32:03,628 Speaker 1: gonna be big. But don't don't be shocked. Seen line 689 00:32:03,668 --> 00:32:05,388 Speaker 1: up a running back did it last year against them. 690 00:32:05,428 --> 00:32:07,748 Speaker 1: He killed one hundred and ten yards and the division 691 00:32:07,828 --> 00:32:09,468 Speaker 1: round knocked him out of it. And that was Jimmy 692 00:32:09,468 --> 00:32:12,028 Speaker 1: Garoppolo quarterback. But I also saw a couple of plays 693 00:32:12,068 --> 00:32:14,308 Speaker 1: where Deebo was lined up as running BA. Christian McCaffrey's 694 00:32:14,308 --> 00:32:16,908 Speaker 1: actually his lee blocker. So Deebo Samuel, he said, to 695 00:32:16,948 --> 00:32:19,548 Speaker 1: have a big game. Absolutely, that's a good one. Jot 696 00:32:21,028 --> 00:32:23,588 Speaker 1: in your mathematical acquis, guys can guess I'm going on 697 00:32:23,788 --> 00:32:26,748 Speaker 1: the defensive side of the ball, and I am talking 698 00:32:26,828 --> 00:32:31,028 Speaker 1: about yes one. Micah Parsons. He said, when the playoffs 699 00:32:31,028 --> 00:32:33,268 Speaker 1: come around, like you need to shine bright if you 700 00:32:33,348 --> 00:32:36,348 Speaker 1: want to be a big time player, and Mica Parsons 701 00:32:36,468 --> 00:32:39,348 Speaker 1: did that Monday night against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Had 702 00:32:39,388 --> 00:32:42,388 Speaker 1: a sack, but he was all over the field tackles 703 00:32:42,468 --> 00:32:44,748 Speaker 1: for losses and to me when it was so impressive, 704 00:32:44,908 --> 00:32:48,068 Speaker 1: which were loom large this week against San Francisco, as 705 00:32:48,108 --> 00:32:50,428 Speaker 1: you see him running over Leonard Fournette, he was lined 706 00:32:50,468 --> 00:32:53,508 Speaker 1: up at middle linebacker in that play. Dan Quinn did 707 00:32:53,588 --> 00:32:57,188 Speaker 1: a great job of moving Micah Parsons all over the field, 708 00:32:57,228 --> 00:32:58,868 Speaker 1: the right side of the field, the left side of 709 00:32:58,948 --> 00:33:02,708 Speaker 1: the field, and then drawing up defenses around him to 710 00:33:02,868 --> 00:33:06,068 Speaker 1: allow him to get pressure on the quarterback. So Micah 711 00:33:06,108 --> 00:33:08,708 Speaker 1: Parsons will play a huge role when the Dallas Cowboys 712 00:33:08,748 --> 00:33:10,988 Speaker 1: taken to forty nine ers. It's like, great, Peter strap 713 00:33:11,068 --> 00:33:13,388 Speaker 1: on your coaching helmet, do some long division on a 714 00:33:13,468 --> 00:33:15,348 Speaker 1: coach that you think will have the biggest impact. Hey, 715 00:33:15,388 --> 00:33:17,228 Speaker 1: you know who won fourteen games and all he hears 716 00:33:17,228 --> 00:33:19,468 Speaker 1: about is the other guy across the sideline. I think 717 00:33:19,548 --> 00:33:23,028 Speaker 1: Nick Sirianni's gonna have a huge day. Everyone raves about 718 00:33:23,068 --> 00:33:24,868 Speaker 1: dayble on what he's done in the Giants, But Nick 719 00:33:24,908 --> 00:33:27,468 Speaker 1: Sirianni won fourteen games with a team that did not 720 00:33:27,588 --> 00:33:30,108 Speaker 1: win in the playoffs last year, and I think Sirianni's 721 00:33:30,108 --> 00:33:32,268 Speaker 1: been sitting back and he's been waiting, and he's been watching. 722 00:33:32,308 --> 00:33:34,268 Speaker 1: He had a great quote this week. They asked I 723 00:33:34,268 --> 00:33:36,268 Speaker 1: think Howard Eskin asked it. I'm like, where'd you watch 724 00:33:36,308 --> 00:33:38,908 Speaker 1: the Giants game? He said, we had a giant stuff 725 00:33:38,988 --> 00:33:41,708 Speaker 1: Cruss pizza and the coaching staff watched the entire game 726 00:33:41,868 --> 00:33:45,948 Speaker 1: in my office that Sunday afternoon. That's where we watched it. 727 00:33:46,028 --> 00:33:48,788 Speaker 1: And while he's eating that stuff cross pizza, I promise 728 00:33:48,868 --> 00:33:51,068 Speaker 1: you Nick is not only drawing up an offensive scheme 729 00:33:51,148 --> 00:33:53,308 Speaker 1: that is going to give link Martin del Fitz. He's 730 00:33:53,308 --> 00:33:55,828 Speaker 1: also working on the motivational tactics that it's gonna take 731 00:33:56,028 --> 00:33:57,508 Speaker 1: to get his team ready to go and play the 732 00:33:57,588 --> 00:34:00,788 Speaker 1: best game possible at eight thirty at night on Saturday. 733 00:34:01,148 --> 00:34:03,668 Speaker 1: I think Sirianni in a world of dayble. This guy 734 00:34:03,668 --> 00:34:05,348 Speaker 1: had a pretty darn good year too, and I think 735 00:34:05,388 --> 00:34:07,788 Speaker 1: he's ready to show the world's worlds. All right. I'll 736 00:34:07,988 --> 00:34:10,828 Speaker 1: wrap it up with the limit that does not exist. 737 00:34:10,988 --> 00:34:14,148 Speaker 1: It's the special themes in this wild card category. It 738 00:34:14,228 --> 00:34:17,028 Speaker 1: can range anywhere from fan bases to personality traits, and 739 00:34:17,068 --> 00:34:19,508 Speaker 1: that's where I'm going to go. I like annoyed Josh Allen, 740 00:34:19,628 --> 00:34:21,988 Speaker 1: I like happy Trevor Lawrence, and I kind of like 741 00:34:22,228 --> 00:34:25,708 Speaker 1: cocky Daniel Jones. There's this version of Daniel Jones that 742 00:34:25,788 --> 00:34:27,828 Speaker 1: we have been gifted so far. And this is coming 743 00:34:27,868 --> 00:34:29,668 Speaker 1: from a Vikings fan. It was really fun to watch 744 00:34:29,788 --> 00:34:32,668 Speaker 1: him last week. My god, Daniel Jones three hundred plus 745 00:34:32,708 --> 00:34:35,868 Speaker 1: passing yards in Minnesota goes into their house in a 746 00:34:35,948 --> 00:34:38,548 Speaker 1: wild card weekend and acts like he's playing at home. 747 00:34:39,588 --> 00:34:42,068 Speaker 1: They trade away Young Joker to Kansas City in the 748 00:34:42,108 --> 00:34:44,508 Speaker 1: middle of the season. He pays no attention to that 749 00:34:44,628 --> 00:34:47,628 Speaker 1: he's making guys better, making guys like Isaiah Hodgens look 750 00:34:47,908 --> 00:34:50,988 Speaker 1: unbelievable in this second half of the season. We had 751 00:34:51,028 --> 00:34:52,908 Speaker 1: a conversation and will always stick out to me in 752 00:34:52,948 --> 00:34:55,468 Speaker 1: September about what Daniel Jones has to do to get 753 00:34:55,468 --> 00:34:58,188 Speaker 1: a great contract. I was like, well, if they if 754 00:34:58,308 --> 00:35:00,148 Speaker 1: they make the playoffs, as it has to be on 755 00:35:00,228 --> 00:35:02,948 Speaker 1: his shoulders. It has to be because of him. Yes, 756 00:35:03,308 --> 00:35:06,988 Speaker 1: and yes they're winning in the playoffs because of Daniel Jones. 757 00:35:07,068 --> 00:35:09,828 Speaker 1: It's not defense is great. Tacon Barkley is great, but 758 00:35:09,948 --> 00:35:12,868 Speaker 1: this guy is taken on this aura, this special theme, 759 00:35:12,908 --> 00:35:14,908 Speaker 1: if you will in the postseason that I think if 760 00:35:14,948 --> 00:35:17,228 Speaker 1: we see that again. Oh you think it's gonna be 761 00:35:17,348 --> 00:35:19,628 Speaker 1: rough and rowdy in Philadelphia this weekend? Just wait if 762 00:35:19,668 --> 00:35:22,028 Speaker 1: you get cocky Daniel Jones walking off the bus. Well, 763 00:35:22,428 --> 00:35:24,668 Speaker 1: he's got the right demeanor too. You played with Eli 764 00:35:24,828 --> 00:35:26,748 Speaker 1: for a year. It's like you get the feeling that 765 00:35:26,868 --> 00:35:29,508 Speaker 1: this guy is not phased by a rowdy Philadelphia crowd. 766 00:35:29,548 --> 00:35:31,508 Speaker 1: You get I know they've never won in Philadelphia, and 767 00:35:31,508 --> 00:35:33,148 Speaker 1: I know there's all those stories, but does he not 768 00:35:33,268 --> 00:35:36,508 Speaker 1: have Sean that Eli esque kind of approach to the 769 00:35:36,628 --> 00:35:38,988 Speaker 1: big games? Yeah? He does. He's I call him Eli 770 00:35:39,068 --> 00:35:40,748 Speaker 1: two point always, like when you upgrade your phone, it's 771 00:35:40,748 --> 00:35:42,588 Speaker 1: the same phone and everything, just it's a little bit faster, 772 00:35:42,748 --> 00:35:45,988 Speaker 1: a little more speed. But look, Minnesota is louder. Minnesota 773 00:35:46,108 --> 00:35:48,868 Speaker 1: was louder last week than Philly's gonna be as Rawckessys 774 00:35:48,988 --> 00:35:50,548 Speaker 1: is going to be in crazy, He's gonna be crowd 775 00:35:50,628 --> 00:35:53,708 Speaker 1: noise in Minnesota in a dome. Absolutely the solidccount. They 776 00:35:53,708 --> 00:35:55,868 Speaker 1: were working that all week. But I'm glad I like 777 00:35:55,948 --> 00:35:57,628 Speaker 1: the new nickname. Now I know what the C stands for. 778 00:35:57,908 --> 00:36:00,748 Speaker 1: That's gutsy. You may have just ted off Philadelphia in 779 00:36:00,828 --> 00:36:02,308 Speaker 1: a way that they have never heard before. You just 780 00:36:02,428 --> 00:36:05,708 Speaker 1: said it was always louder Minnesota. Yeah, it's a dome. 781 00:36:06,068 --> 00:36:08,748 Speaker 1: I mean, it's simple, Matt. I agree, it's not long 782 00:36:08,828 --> 00:36:13,428 Speaker 1: division here. We're talking about something with the roof allowed. 783 00:36:13,428 --> 00:36:15,388 Speaker 1: The stadiums in the NFL that they always talk about 784 00:36:16,188 --> 00:36:19,548 Speaker 1: that crap. I'm talking about the dog I know, right, 785 00:36:20,148 --> 00:36:23,788 Speaker 1: I'm not getting into this. Minnesota, New Orleans, Minnesota. Those 786 00:36:23,828 --> 00:36:26,708 Speaker 1: places go rocky, those those deciplos. No one talks about 787 00:36:26,788 --> 00:36:30,268 Speaker 1: those stadiums as all these louds. That was the first 788 00:36:30,308 --> 00:36:32,468 Speaker 1: time I've ever heard that about. When you watch the 789 00:36:32,508 --> 00:36:35,868 Speaker 1: film in Minnesota games on third down, even in the 790 00:36:35,908 --> 00:36:38,948 Speaker 1: old Metrodome, the film camera used to shake because the 791 00:36:38,988 --> 00:36:41,468 Speaker 1: crowd was so loud to challenge. Never seen that, Never 792 00:36:41,548 --> 00:36:44,468 Speaker 1: seen that in any other stadium other than in Minnesota. 793 00:36:44,548 --> 00:36:50,388 Speaker 1: Link some of giants, the Link, I know all we
