It's ten o'clock Eastern time. We're just 18 00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:55,160 Speaker 4: getting to the middle of the third quarter. 19 00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:56,440 Speaker 3: Yeah, it is. 20 00:00:56,640 --> 00:01:01,160 Speaker 1: Uh, it's a long night, Torase, It's gonna be a 21 00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:05,720 Speaker 1: long and bumpy night night. We have seven minutes left 22 00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:08,759 Speaker 1: to go on the third quarter. Indiana thanks to four 23 00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:12,040 Speaker 1: touchdown passes for Fernando Mendoza, who is thirteen out of 24 00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:15,640 Speaker 1: fourteen tonight for one hundred and fifty yards. Indiana's on 25 00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:18,560 Speaker 1: top of Oregon forty two fifteen. They would be on 26 00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:21,680 Speaker 1: the doorstep of another score. However, a seventy one yard 27 00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:24,840 Speaker 1: run just got called back for a holding penalty. So 28 00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:28,920 Speaker 1: Indiana has the ball deep in their own territory, and hey. 29 00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:30,760 Speaker 3: At least we got some positivity for Oregon. 30 00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:34,319 Speaker 1: They get a touchdown, they go for two, and now 31 00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:36,640 Speaker 1: it's you know, now they've made it a twelve score 32 00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:39,120 Speaker 1: game where it was a thirteen score game, so you know, 33 00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:41,399 Speaker 1: you know they're they're cutting into this little by. 34 00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:44,240 Speaker 4: Little Well, three turnovers for Oregon tonight, and they threw 35 00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:48,200 Speaker 4: a pick six on the very first play from scrimmage tonight. 36 00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:49,280 Speaker 3: Yeah, not great, Bob. 37 00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:53,040 Speaker 4: You're going up against the number one team who's got 38 00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:56,160 Speaker 4: Have you seen Indiana play a great defense? And then 39 00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:58,600 Speaker 4: we saw the sacks coming all the way up till 40 00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:00,960 Speaker 4: halftime for the IU defense. 41 00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:02,000 Speaker 5: Not good? 42 00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:04,600 Speaker 4: And then you mentioned Mendoza, not just the touchdown passes, 43 00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:07,440 Speaker 4: the third down conversions eight of nine for India. 44 00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:10,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, look, the best thing is this will 45 00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:12,359 Speaker 1: give us plenty of time to break down the playoff 46 00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:14,840 Speaker 1: games this weekend in the NFL, right because of the 47 00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:17,480 Speaker 1: way the ball. We're not going to be spending the 48 00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:20,120 Speaker 1: entire show on like last night's classic game and the 49 00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:22,160 Speaker 1: pass interferrets at the end. In the back and forth, 50 00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:24,920 Speaker 1: this is Yeah, this has been over since maybe maybe 51 00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:26,920 Speaker 1: since the first play of the game, maybe since that 52 00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:27,440 Speaker 1: pick six. 53 00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:28,839 Speaker 3: You can look back and say that was it. 54 00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:30,800 Speaker 5: Well, it got rolling late first half. 55 00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:33,200 Speaker 4: I mean, I guess it was only twenty one to 56 00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:34,480 Speaker 4: seven until then. 57 00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:37,200 Speaker 3: That seems like a close game at that point. 58 00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:39,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, So look, let's deal with Dante Moore first before 59 00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:44,280 Speaker 1: we get to Fernanda Mendoza. Right, So more tonight watching Oregon, 60 00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:47,960 Speaker 1: sometimes there's a moment and whether it's a whether it's 61 00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:53,679 Speaker 1: a quarterback really talented gets too hyped up, or or 62 00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:58,920 Speaker 1: something happens emotionally, they the team just isn't ready and 63 00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:01,680 Speaker 1: he's not ready to meet the moment. And Dante Moore 64 00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:03,799 Speaker 1: has made a lot of mistakes tonight. Look, you can 65 00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:05,799 Speaker 1: go back and forth. Look, he collides the running back 66 00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:08,040 Speaker 1: and the ball winds up coming out, but he throws 67 00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:10,920 Speaker 1: the pick six early. He is taking sacks in the 68 00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:13,000 Speaker 1: pocket where he has to get rid of the football. 69 00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:16,040 Speaker 1: He is having a really bad game and it just 70 00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:19,560 Speaker 1: seems like it seems like Indiana has been one step 71 00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:23,120 Speaker 1: ahead of Oregon the entire way. You know, like this 72 00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:25,600 Speaker 1: technically is a semi final game, but this is like 73 00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:28,119 Speaker 1: the semifinal game of a youth tournament where oh wow, 74 00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:29,840 Speaker 1: the number one seed is there and this team that 75 00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:31,480 Speaker 1: won a couple of games again it oh wow, they're 76 00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:34,040 Speaker 1: just getting boat raced here like that. That's what's gone on. 77 00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:36,600 Speaker 1: There's not been one moment tonight where I thought, hey, 78 00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:39,600 Speaker 1: Oregon is here to meet the moment, whether it's Dante Moore, 79 00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:42,840 Speaker 1: whether it's the rest of the team. The mistakes everything 80 00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:46,520 Speaker 1: Indiana wants to do, they're executing defensively on third downs. 81 00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:48,800 Speaker 3: This is just you know, this is Indiana. 82 00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:51,120 Speaker 1: The only fear I have for them is they're not 83 00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:53,920 Speaker 1: gonna play a more perfect game than this. They're taking advantage, 84 00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:56,920 Speaker 1: they're forcing mistakes. They might get a bounce against Miami, 85 00:03:56,960 --> 00:03:59,600 Speaker 1: but we'll worry about that later on because this is 86 00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:02,600 Speaker 1: this is just an absolute bludgeting by Indiana against AM. 87 00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:04,680 Speaker 4: I thought that it wasn't possible to play a more 88 00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:07,760 Speaker 4: perfect game than the Rose Bowl where they just laid 89 00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:11,080 Speaker 4: waste to Alabama on New Year's Day, and yet they're 90 00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:13,840 Speaker 4: playing so well tonight. I mentioned still it's third quarter 91 00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:16,760 Speaker 4: and they have forty two points against a top five team. 92 00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:19,680 Speaker 5: And keep in mind these are conference opponents. 93 00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:23,080 Speaker 4: Oregon had them at home on the schedule in October 94 00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:26,599 Speaker 4: and Indiana played a very impressive fourth quarter and won 95 00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:27,119 Speaker 4: that game. 96 00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:29,520 Speaker 1: I feel awful that I picked Oregon to win this. Guy, 97 00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:31,159 Speaker 1: I feel awful. I feel like I felt like. 98 00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:33,200 Speaker 2: Flaud. 99 00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:35,720 Speaker 1: I can't believe. I can't I look at this game. 100 00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:37,720 Speaker 1: How did I pick Oregon? How did I do this? 101 00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:40,360 Speaker 1: I can't believe awful about. 102 00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:43,400 Speaker 4: Maybe somebody on the show had Indiana in their pool in. 103 00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:47,839 Speaker 1: The final line, might have so what what do you 104 00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:49,279 Speaker 1: have in the what'd you have? Inn R Fox Sports 105 00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:50,760 Speaker 1: Radio pool Indiana and Ohio State? 106 00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:51,680 Speaker 5: Yeah, it's correct. 107 00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:54,800 Speaker 4: In Ohio State, I maintained, still has a great defense. 108 00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:56,600 Speaker 4: It was the pick six that cost them in their 109 00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:57,400 Speaker 4: playoff loss. 110 00:04:57,520 --> 00:04:58,920 Speaker 3: Yep, it was a difficult thing. 111 00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:01,080 Speaker 4: And then that it's going to be a thirteen to 112 00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:03,400 Speaker 4: ten final all over again when those two men. 113 00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:06,800 Speaker 5: Yeah, and now like any Texans. 114 00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:10,200 Speaker 4: Chargers game, it's got fifteen twelve over all over it. 115 00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:13,200 Speaker 1: Now, I think the biggest sobering thing that people have 116 00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:15,679 Speaker 1: to think about right now for a second. Is that, Okay, 117 00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:20,279 Speaker 1: the Indiana Hoosiers are going to win the national championship 118 00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:23,880 Speaker 1: in football? You got to say that, yeah, in foot, 119 00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:27,480 Speaker 1: the Indiana Hoosiers are going to win the national championship 120 00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:32,159 Speaker 1: in football, not basketball, not another sport. They're good and 121 00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:34,280 Speaker 1: I'm sure they're good in other things too. Now that 122 00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:39,919 Speaker 1: they're gonna win. They had absolutely zero zero football tradition, 123 00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:43,520 Speaker 1: zero until this beginning of last season. 124 00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:46,919 Speaker 3: Zero football tradition there going back to hey. 125 00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:50,440 Speaker 1: Over one hundred winners when Antoine randall El was the quarterback. 126 00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:51,080 Speaker 3: He was fun. 127 00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:54,000 Speaker 1: He made it to the NFL and Thompson finished in 128 00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:56,600 Speaker 1: the top three for Heisman troll. Not back in the eighties. 129 00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:58,880 Speaker 1: All right, Yeah, in four seconds, I got you back 130 00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:01,120 Speaker 1: to the mid eighties with football. 131 00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:03,440 Speaker 4: And their previous Rose Bawl appearance was the nineteen sixties. 132 00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:04,240 Speaker 3: This is it. 133 00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:10,120 Speaker 1: They had zero football tradition, football accomplishment until two years ago, 134 00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:13,520 Speaker 1: and now here they are They're gonna win the national championship. 135 00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:15,599 Speaker 3: I don't know that I can wrap my head around that. 136 00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:18,919 Speaker 1: I mean, there's there's stories of teams coming out of nowhere, 137 00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:22,240 Speaker 1: and Cinderella stories and and and and top to bottom 138 00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:27,520 Speaker 1: Indiana winning the national championship in football. I I really, 139 00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:30,600 Speaker 1: I don't know. There's certain things that still sound weird 140 00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:34,000 Speaker 1: to me. And and Indiana being this after having again zero, 141 00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:35,760 Speaker 1: It's not like they built towards It's not like, well, 142 00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:38,279 Speaker 1: there's been a long buil. Kurtzignette has been there since 143 00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:41,160 Speaker 1: twenty ten. Like you know, if Kirk Farenz at Iowa 144 00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:43,520 Speaker 1: eventually built Ohio into a national bill, the guy's been 145 00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:46,000 Speaker 1: there for twenty years, a great offensive coach. Eventually you're 146 00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:49,000 Speaker 1: gonna hit it big zero. They had nothing until two 147 00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:51,280 Speaker 1: years ago. I know something here there. They're gonna they 148 00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:54,480 Speaker 1: have the Heisman Trophy winner, They're gonna win the national championship, 149 00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:57,520 Speaker 1: and Indiana football's on the on top of the world. 150 00:06:57,120 --> 00:06:58,360 Speaker 3: I can't get over that. 151 00:06:58,400 --> 00:06:59,559 Speaker 5: I can't agree more. 152 00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:02,520 Speaker 4: This is kind of like, well, actually it's greater than 153 00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:05,840 Speaker 4: when you say out loud that the Marlins have won 154 00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:08,479 Speaker 4: the World Series twice, because what did they do after 155 00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:10,280 Speaker 4: those World Series sell off? 156 00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:10,880 Speaker 5: Did nothing? 157 00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:13,520 Speaker 4: They were back to being the Marlins again for long stretches, 158 00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:16,280 Speaker 4: or even the Giants with Bruce Bochi they won the 159 00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:18,720 Speaker 4: World Series three times? What did they do in between 160 00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:21,720 Speaker 4: those series. It's not like they had a Troy Aikman 161 00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:24,920 Speaker 4: Dallas Cowboys dynasty where they were threatening for Super Bowl 162 00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:28,000 Speaker 4: every year. It wasn't that type of thing in college 163 00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:32,960 Speaker 4: football history. Indiana had the most total losses of any 164 00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:36,600 Speaker 4: program until they hired this coach. It wasn't until just 165 00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:39,840 Speaker 4: a few weeks ago that the Indiana program had ever 166 00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:44,960 Speaker 4: been ranked number one for one week ever in the 167 00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:49,400 Speaker 4: history of the AP pole. This is unprecedented. What's going on? 168 00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:52,640 Speaker 1: I really just think about that. I mean, think about 169 00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:55,400 Speaker 1: that Indian Like for all the schools and all the 170 00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:57,640 Speaker 1: teams that say, oh, it takes so long to rebuild, 171 00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:00,360 Speaker 1: takes so long to do it, now they did more years. 172 00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:02,400 Speaker 1: They did it in two years. You know, this is 173 00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:04,960 Speaker 1: going to be an episode of Pablo Tory finds out. Okay, 174 00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:06,200 Speaker 1: how did Indiana do this? 175 00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:08,360 Speaker 3: Wet?

And the NIL support is a real 185 00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:30,880 Speaker 4: thing now. They picked up a quarterback from cal who 186 00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:34,959 Speaker 4: had started multiple years and was a solid addition and 187 00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:39,079 Speaker 4: got better during his Heisman season. It's just been sensational 188 00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:42,000 Speaker 4: the coaching job that's been done by Signetti. 189 00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:44,600 Speaker 1: Now, I do want to say, because there is somebody 190 00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:47,280 Speaker 1: I feel really sorry for.

If there's no no, no, no, no, no, 207 00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:30,040 Speaker 1: it's not about Indiana, because if we learned anything tonight 208 00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:33,080 Speaker 1: outside of how good Indiana is really and how dominant 209 00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:36,040 Speaker 1: they are, it's that Mendoza is the number one pick 210 00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:38,680 Speaker 1: in the draft. Dante Moore, if he comes out, is 211 00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:41,080 Speaker 1: the number two pick. Maybe he's the number two pick. 212 00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:44,000 Speaker 1: Maybe tonight, you know, turns the Jets off. I mean, 213 00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:45,680 Speaker 1: although you say, I've seen a lot of throws, he 214 00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:49,080 Speaker 1: made very Jets like already, a lot of decisions. Yeah, Varied, 215 00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:51,040 Speaker 1: you'll fit right in with the Jets already in Green, 216 00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:53,000 Speaker 1: Like I can kind of squint and look at the 217 00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:55,680 Speaker 1: TV and go, yeah, I could see that Dante more fumbling, 218 00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:56,240 Speaker 1: and I. 219 00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:57,079 Speaker 5: Saw some of these games. 220 00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:01,040 Speaker 3: I could see that.

I'm I'm leveling down now 248 00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:24,920 Speaker 1: to go to the Raiders. And suddenly it's gonna be 249 00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:27,959 Speaker 1: fans are gonna be mad, and I'm gonna and it's 250 00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:30,719 Speaker 1: gonna be crazy.

I don't know that I want this. 254 00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:41,080 Speaker 1: I'm gonna this is a step down for me. 255 00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:42,600 Speaker 5: You're right in one respect. 256 00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:46,120 Speaker 4: The people that are running the Indiana football program have 257 00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:49,719 Speaker 4: things figured out, and from the top down, nobody at 258 00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:52,559 Speaker 4: the Raiders has things figured out. And if you've seen 259 00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:56,920 Speaker 4: the offensive line of the Raiders, actually seeing a Raiders 260 00:11:56,960 --> 00:12:00,480 Speaker 4: game this year, it's embarrassing to call them in NFL 261 00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:04,240 Speaker 4: franchise because you know, I know other teams have had 262 00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:08,120 Speaker 4: injuries and porous offensive lines, because these are the actual 263 00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:11,640 Speaker 4: guys that they wanted to be their offensive lineman and 264 00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:15,000 Speaker 4: the assistant that they actually chose to be their offensive line. 265 00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:18,560 Speaker 4: It's it's a disaster, and it's it's the fifth go 266 00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:22,280 Speaker 4: round of this ever since, I mean it, the top down, 267 00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:25,280 Speaker 4: ever since Mark Davis has had his hands in the 268 00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:28,320 Speaker 4: cookie jar. And sorry, Dad's not around, and this is 269 00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:31,240 Speaker 4: actually your team and you've got to produce, to say 270 00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:32,680 Speaker 4: the least they have not produced. 271 00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:35,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, I can't get over. 272 00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:37,400 Speaker 1: I mean, he's you talk about a culture shock, he's 273 00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:38,640 Speaker 1: going to be in for It's gonna. 274 00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:39,400 Speaker 3: Be what what the hell? 275 00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:39,680 Speaker 4: Man? 276 00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:41,920 Speaker 1: What the hell is going on around here? 277 00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:42,640 Speaker 3: This is? 278 00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:45,280 Speaker 1: And the thing is you look at Fernanda Mendoza and 279 00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:47,319 Speaker 1: you know, as goofy as he is and a fun 280 00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:49,240 Speaker 1: guy as he is, and you go, man, is that 281 00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:51,560 Speaker 1: really gonna fly with the Raiders? Like is that is 282 00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:54,080 Speaker 1: that the demeanor that that's gonna fly? Like you're gonna 283 00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:56,280 Speaker 1: suck all the joy out of him? There, there's gonna be. 284 00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:58,400 Speaker 1: I can already see the screen grabs for next season. 285 00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:00,960 Speaker 1: Like here's for Nanda Mendoza, Indie coming off the field 286 00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:02,800 Speaker 1: with a big smile. Here he is Vegas and a 287 00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:05,440 Speaker 1: big scowl on his face, like they're they're gonna they're 288 00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:07,400 Speaker 1: gonna just knock the fun right out of him, man, 289 00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:11,120 Speaker 1: Like I don't know, like certain certain quarterbacks, certain attitudes 290 00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:14,560 Speaker 1: working in certain places, right like Baker Mayfield coming into 291 00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:16,800 Speaker 1: the NFL said yeah, we're gonna go. I'm gonna go 292 00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:19,160 Speaker 1: take over this league and Cleveland come on, get on 293 00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:19,600 Speaker 1: my back. 294 00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:20,880 Speaker 3: We're gonna do it. Yeah, I get that. 295 00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:24,360 Speaker 1: But here's you know, happy, go lucky and goofy, Fernando Mendoza, 296 00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:27,200 Speaker 1: who's so much fun. He's going to a team that's 297 00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:29,800 Speaker 1: an absolute tire fire. I don't know. That's that's a 298 00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:32,520 Speaker 1: bad combo, man. Not that the Jets is any bargain either, 299 00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:34,800 Speaker 1: but I mean, but that's that's a that's a really 300 00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:35,680 Speaker 1: bad come Now. 301 00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:38,160 Speaker 4: With Caleb Williams stepped in as number one pick and 302 00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:41,160 Speaker 4: was running for his life and just flat running with 303 00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:44,440 Speaker 4: the old regime in Chicago and was sacked almost seventy 304 00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:48,920 Speaker 4: times in an NFL season, it makes you look up. Okay, 305 00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:52,440 Speaker 4: the record for being sacked one guy the most times 306 00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:56,360 Speaker 4: in an NFL season, it's seventy six. And the caveat 307 00:13:56,520 --> 00:14:00,240 Speaker 4: is David Carr was on a literal expansion team. It 308 00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:03,520 Speaker 4: was a roster of cast offs when the Houston Texans 309 00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:07,160 Speaker 4: began in two thousand and two. I think that this 310 00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:11,640 Speaker 4: has the makings of a quarterback getting sacked sixty seventy 311 00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:14,760 Speaker 4: times for a full season if and when he goes 312 00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:16,640 Speaker 4: to the Raiders, which is too bad, because they have 313 00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:19,360 Speaker 4: the running back, they have the tight end, They might 314 00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:22,200 Speaker 4: even have the quarterback if they draft him. But if 315 00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:24,840 Speaker 4: you can't protect the quarterback, I mean, look what the 316 00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:27,320 Speaker 4: offensive line has been with the Chargers. I know Harbaugh 317 00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:29,680 Speaker 4: has gotten them into the postseason. I'm not expecting a 318 00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:33,000 Speaker 4: run because they can't block anybody. I mean, this quarterback, 319 00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:36,160 Speaker 4: talented as he is, has been sacked over fifty times 320 00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:36,560 Speaker 4: this year. 321 00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:38,840 Speaker 1: He's already been sacked eight times with the Raiders. I 322 00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:40,120 Speaker 1: don't know if you know that or not. They've already 323 00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:42,040 Speaker 1: put that out there, Mendoz of the Raiders eight sacks. 324 00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:43,480 Speaker 1: He hasn't even played a full game. 325 00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:45,200 Speaker 4: I thought you were gonna say a Charger game hasn't 326 00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:46,240 Speaker 4: even started Sunday night. 327 00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:48,880 Speaker 5: He's already been said. He's already been said. 328 00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:52,080 Speaker 3: So this is where we sit right now. 329 00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:55,400 Speaker 1: Indiana has been putting on a clinic, but Oregon has 330 00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:58,280 Speaker 1: not quit. They are driving with the ball right now. 331 00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:01,320 Speaker 1: They just forced Indiana into a punt situation, so they 332 00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:04,960 Speaker 1: have it just past midfield forty two point fifteen. Look 333 00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:06,760 Speaker 1: they get in the end zone. Suddenly it's a three 334 00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:09,840 Speaker 1: score game going to the fourth quarter. Yeah, I'm trying, 335 00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:10,960 Speaker 1: I'm trying, right. 336 00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:13,000 Speaker 4: They need to do what the Seahawks did in that 337 00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:15,760 Speaker 4: huge comeback against the Rams. You remember on the Thursday 338 00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:19,280 Speaker 4: night game is they normally needed three incredible touchdowns. They 339 00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:22,400 Speaker 4: had to have three two point conversions on top of it. 340 00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:24,800 Speaker 4: It had to go eight sixteen twenty four. If you 341 00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:26,960 Speaker 4: know what I mean, this is they've already got the 342 00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:29,760 Speaker 4: one right the last touchdown.

Oregon 414 00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:05,840 Speaker 1: just had the football deep in Indiana territory. Obviously they 415 00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:08,520 Speaker 1: need scores because there are eleven scores down, and they 416 00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:10,840 Speaker 1: go for it on fourth and one, which you have 417 00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:13,480 Speaker 1: to write, and you get a score. Suddenly you're headed 418 00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:15,920 Speaker 1: to the fourth quarter. It's a three score game. Now, look, 419 00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:18,160 Speaker 1: it's not ideal, but how you started the game. Okay, 420 00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:21,240 Speaker 1: you have that. Uh, Oregon goes for it on fourth 421 00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:24,320 Speaker 1: and one and Harris has stopped for a one yard 422 00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:28,760 Speaker 1: loss turnover on downs. Indiana Uh kills the clock for 423 00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:30,760 Speaker 1: a little bit. But again, they just punted back to Oregon. 424 00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:34,440 Speaker 1: This is why on fourth and one you don't pitch 425 00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:36,840 Speaker 1: the ball back to a running back five yards behind 426 00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:39,640 Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage, Like I don't understand plays like that. 427 00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:42,400 Speaker 1: When you need a yard, you're either gonna throw. You're 428 00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:44,360 Speaker 1: either gonna give the football to you're running back as 429 00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:46,200 Speaker 1: close as you can to the line of scrimmage, you're 430 00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:48,960 Speaker 1: gonna you're gonna uh touh push it, or you're gonna 431 00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:51,359 Speaker 1: throw it right. And they decide, you know, we're not 432 00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:53,600 Speaker 1: gonna put the ball in their best player's hands. We're 433 00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:56,000 Speaker 1: gonna hand it off. But not only that, we're gonna 434 00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:59,120 Speaker 1: pitch it back five yards. Everybody's up on the line. 435 00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:01,280 Speaker 1: Indiana's defense is up on the line. When you give 436 00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:03,560 Speaker 1: the guy the ball five yards behind the line of scrimmage, 437 00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:05,760 Speaker 1: what do you think is gonna happen? I mean, really, 438 00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:09,320 Speaker 1: if this was hey, it's a it's a third and seven, 439 00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:12,919 Speaker 1: they're not expecting something. No, But you got guys up 440 00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:14,959 Speaker 1: on the line. This is fourth and one. They're crowding. 441 00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:17,000 Speaker 1: What do you think is gonna happen when you pitch 442 00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:19,439 Speaker 1: the ball to your running back five yards behind the 443 00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:20,919 Speaker 1: line of scrimmage. I look at that and I go 444 00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:24,000 Speaker 1: as Oregon even mentally in this game, like I think, 445 00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:26,280 Speaker 1: because I don't understand a call like that. When you 446 00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:28,440 Speaker 1: give the guy the ball in that kind of situation. 447 00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:32,600 Speaker 4: Dan, it's also akin to all the shotgun quarterbacks for 448 00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:34,879 Speaker 4: fourth and one, and then he takes it himself but 449 00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:37,600 Speaker 4: has to run five yards forward to reach the line 450 00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:40,439 Speaker 4: of scrimmage, and by then kind of the element of 451 00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:42,280 Speaker 4: surprise is lost. 452 00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:44,239 Speaker 3: Yeah, I really I don't get it. 453 00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:47,000 Speaker 1: And of course, you know the turnover on downs, Indiana 454 00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:50,000 Speaker 1: has the ball and look they're still throwing it down 455 00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:52,240 Speaker 1: the field. I'm surprised Indiana didn't try to at least 456 00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:54,400 Speaker 1: take a little bit of clock to get it down 457 00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:56,520 Speaker 1: here again, it is forty two to fifteen, and their 458 00:20:56,560 --> 00:20:59,159 Speaker 1: defense is playing terrific, but I'm surprised. Okay, we're going 459 00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:01,160 Speaker 1: to try to beat this game up here a little 460 00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:02,960 Speaker 1: bit and run the football a little while they're still 461 00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:05,040 Speaker 1: throwing the football downfield and trying to I mean, I 462 00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:08,280 Speaker 1: don't know, maybe there's some sort of nil, you know, 463 00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:11,320 Speaker 1: for Nanna Mendoza is one touchdown away from some crazy 464 00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:12,920 Speaker 1: nil bonus that he's gonna get. 465 00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:13,919 Speaker 3: I don't know, but I. 466 00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:16,680 Speaker 4: Season like the NFL did you see that list before 467 00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:18,919 Speaker 4: the final day of the regular season, Like if so 468 00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:21,560 Speaker 4: and so gets seven more yards from scrimmage, he gets 469 00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:22,560 Speaker 4: a million dollars. 470 00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:24,960 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, Oh I love that. Yeah. 471 00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:26,520 Speaker 1: Hey, why am I bench well you had a six 472 00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:28,840 Speaker 1: yard run. Why, well you're tired. Just say but I 473 00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:31,119 Speaker 1: need one more yard for a million dollars. Yeah, yeah, No, 474 00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:32,879 Speaker 1: you're good. We'll get you back in. Don't worry about it. 475 00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:33,680 Speaker 1: We'll get you back in the game. 476 00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:33,960 Speaker 3: Do worry. 477 00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:36,200 Speaker 5: Were you playing a part of Windy Johnson on that one? 478 00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:36,560 Speaker 3: Yeah? 479 00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:38,560 Speaker 1: Well, look, because you know it's funny you say that, 480 00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:41,040 Speaker 1: because what did what did the story come out today 481 00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:43,240 Speaker 1: that maybe the Wizards are just gonna sit Tray Young 482 00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:45,960 Speaker 1: for the rest of the season because they want to 483 00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:47,880 Speaker 1: preserve the draft pick that they would have to give 484 00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:50,480 Speaker 1: to the Knicks if they win too many games and 485 00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:52,760 Speaker 1: fall out and fall out of the top eight of 486 00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:55,040 Speaker 1: the lottery. So potentially they could sit him because he's 487 00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:56,800 Speaker 1: not playing now, they could sit him the rest of 488 00:21:56,800 --> 00:21:58,840 Speaker 1: the year and go, hey, we're not going anywhere this year. 489 00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:01,240 Speaker 1: We're gonna lose games on ping pong balls, X, Y 490 00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:02,399 Speaker 1: and Z. Don't want to give up a pick to 491 00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:05,040 Speaker 1: the Knicks, understand, So yes, so we're not gonna We're 492 00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:06,120 Speaker 1: not gonna play in the rest of the way. 493 00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:08,560 Speaker 4: But perhaps to combat that, they did list him as 494 00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:10,400 Speaker 4: out tonight with two injuries. 495 00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:12,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, just want want you to make 496 00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:14,959 Speaker 1: sure the first one is serious. If you doubt that one, 497 00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:17,960 Speaker 1: there's another one we have for you. So we'll have 498 00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:20,680 Speaker 1: more on this game coming up again. Forty two to fifteen, 499 00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:24,879 Speaker 1: Oregon is punting, believe it or not, with thirteen minutes 500 00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:27,720 Speaker 1: to go in the fourth quarter. So yeah, Oregan's wave 501 00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:30,120 Speaker 1: the white flag. Yes, they're deep in their own territory. Yes, 502 00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:30,840 Speaker 1: it's fourth and six. 503 00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:33,359 Speaker 5: These last two drives took two and a half minutes total. 504 00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:36,879 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I mean, really, I I mean, I 505 00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:39,160 Speaker 1: understand you don't want to, but what's the difference beween 506 00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:41,440 Speaker 1: losing forty two to fifteen and forty nine to fifteen. 507 00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:43,320 Speaker 1: What if you get you get down there, you make 508 00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:45,520 Speaker 1: it forty two to twenty two. You know, you get 509 00:22:45,520 --> 00:22:47,480 Speaker 1: the on side kick, get a touchdown, get the on 510 00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:49,640 Speaker 1: side kick, get a touchdown, get the on side kick, 511 00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:51,960 Speaker 1: get a touchdown, get the on side kick, get a touchdown, 512 00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:53,600 Speaker 1: and you win. That's all you gotta do it and 513 00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:55,000 Speaker 1: you win. I mean, really, that's all you have to douce. 514 00:22:55,080 --> 00:22:57,680 Speaker 4: The problem is early in the game they already tried 515 00:22:58,160 --> 00:23:01,280 Speaker 4: giving Indiana the ball that they're all in twenty Oregon's 516 00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:03,840 Speaker 4: twenty to start a Hoosier's drive, and those weren't working 517 00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:07,119 Speaker 4: out well, so they are punting from there on twenty year. 518 00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:10,560 Speaker 1: Well, punting is in theory because it was just blocked 519 00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:15,560 Speaker 1: and recovered by Indiana. They have the ball inside Oregon's 520 00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:19,960 Speaker 1: ten yard line first of all, with thirteen minutes to go. Again, 521 00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:21,879 Speaker 1: the punt is blocked straight up in the air. I 522 00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:23,960 Speaker 1: really thought the guy was gonna catch it and run 523 00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:25,800 Speaker 1: for it. He looked like he had itchy hands, like, 524 00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:27,679 Speaker 1: come on, the ball, come down, I'm right here, I'm. 525 00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:28,080 Speaker 3: Gonna catch it. 526 00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:31,600 Speaker 1: I'm gonna catch it. It comes down to alignment catches. 527 00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:35,359 Speaker 1: It gets tackled just inside the ten, and now Indiana 528 00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:36,160 Speaker 1: is on the customers. 529 00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:38,919 Speaker 4: So bad enoughs is they not only go three and 530 00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:41,240 Speaker 4: out really quickly, then they line up to punt and 531 00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:43,600 Speaker 4: have a delay of game. And then they do actually 532 00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:46,560 Speaker 4: try and punt, and somebody coming straight up the middle 533 00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:49,439 Speaker 4: blocks it with the right hand, And you're right, he 534 00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:52,200 Speaker 4: waited for a while to that ball to float down 535 00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:54,560 Speaker 4: to his chest. And now it's first and goal from 536 00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:57,679 Speaker 4: the I believe seven yard line for Indiana already up 537 00:23:57,720 --> 00:23:59,119 Speaker 4: forty two to fifteen. 538 00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:01,959 Speaker 1: And I like that kurtz Signetti is staying completely on 539 00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:05,040 Speaker 1: brand by frowning and looking really pissed on the sideline, 540 00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:07,840 Speaker 1: like you like, I understand. And he had a great 541 00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:10,199 Speaker 1: comment about this yesterday, saying, hey, I have to be 542 00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:13,280 Speaker 1: the same guy on the field with them. I can't 543 00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:15,600 Speaker 1: be someone jumping around and celebrating because what kind of 544 00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:18,359 Speaker 1: messages that scent? And I agree, I completely agree with 545 00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:19,800 Speaker 1: him on that, right, you have to be the same 546 00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:22,600 Speaker 1: kind of guy because we'll go through some coaches later 547 00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:24,400 Speaker 1: on in the show where I'll tell you right away 548 00:24:25,119 --> 00:24:27,560 Speaker 1: they're not the same guy. And these guys aren't head 549 00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:29,679 Speaker 1: coaches anymore or don't deserve to be head coaches. 550 00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:32,600 Speaker 4: That's Honke Sean McVay who can do the positive thing 551 00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:35,960 Speaker 4: because he does within him have the positive thing. 552 00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:39,399 Speaker 1: But if that's who you are the whole time, that's great, right, Like, 553 00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:41,560 Speaker 1: if you're still positive no matter what's going on. And 554 00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:43,880 Speaker 1: Sean McVay is like that, if you're still if you're 555 00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:44,960 Speaker 1: if that guy, that's great. 556 00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:47,119 Speaker 3: I mean, I dig that. Kurt Signetti is you know, 557 00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:47,840 Speaker 3: is that kind of you know? 558 00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:50,879 Speaker 1: He even said yesterday, what sometimes I am happy, Like 559 00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:53,119 Speaker 1: he's got to be as happy as he's ever been before. 560 00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:54,800 Speaker 3: And he's still frowning and. 561 00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:58,600 Speaker 1: Staring like it like they've made drive Like you're watching 562 00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:01,399 Speaker 1: out well, like you're watching Indiana make mistake after mistake 563 00:25:01,480 --> 00:25:03,480 Speaker 1: in there. You know it's a it's a three point 564 00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:05,720 Speaker 1: game here early in the fourth quarter instead of forty 565 00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:08,439 Speaker 1: two fifteen. We're coming off a block punt and we 566 00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:10,840 Speaker 1: have the ball first and goal at the seven. I mean, 567 00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:12,840 Speaker 1: I get, I get it. I get you want to 568 00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:14,600 Speaker 1: be on brand, to be the same guy. But man, 569 00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:16,960 Speaker 1: look he's trying to call a time out and he's mad. 570 00:25:17,160 --> 00:25:20,440 Speaker 1: He's frowning at the officials now, like the officials are 571 00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:21,359 Speaker 1: bagging him on this. 572 00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:23,680 Speaker 3: I got to think that this is a performance. 573 00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:25,439 Speaker 5: Art where we get a delay a game. Why is 574 00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:27,000 Speaker 5: the play clock moving on us? 575 00:25:27,119 --> 00:25:29,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I'm gonna he's gonna pull Mendoza out 576 00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:31,119 Speaker 1: of the game for taking a delay a game. Like 577 00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:33,240 Speaker 1: I really feel like is this really performance art at 578 00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:34,960 Speaker 1: this point? Like I really feel like it has to 579 00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:37,000 Speaker 1: be like that. Yeah, you gotta be happy at some 580 00:25:37,080 --> 00:25:39,920 Speaker 1: point at least, you know, not be frowning and scowling. 581 00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:43,680 Speaker 4: Now, I will say Indiana Radio, before it got to halftime, 582 00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:47,040 Speaker 4: when things were really rolling in the Hoosiers favor. Even 583 00:25:47,119 --> 00:25:50,639 Speaker 4: they in the booth said Kurtzignetti is having a hard 584 00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:54,760 Speaker 4: time not breaking a smile on the sideline because they 585 00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:57,240 Speaker 4: know what they see, game after game, exactly what you're 586 00:25:57,280 --> 00:25:57,919 Speaker 4: talking about. 587 00:25:58,240 --> 00:26:00,520 Speaker 5: This following up a. 588 00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:05,040 Speaker 4: Dominant Rose Bowl against Alabama, a completely dominant first half 589 00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:08,240 Speaker 4: against Oregon in a rematch of what was a close 590 00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:11,320 Speaker 4: game in the regular season at Oregon. He's got to 591 00:26:11,359 --> 00:26:14,080 Speaker 4: be over the moon over these two results in the playoffs. 592 00:26:14,119 --> 00:26:15,720 Speaker 5: But no, no, not publicly. 593 00:26:17,119 --> 00:26:18,160 Speaker 3: So we'll have more on this. 594 00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:19,880 Speaker 1: Game coming up in a few minutes to continue about 595 00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:22,280 Speaker 1: Pete Futech coming up after him. Never too early to 596 00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:25,159 Speaker 1: preview Indiana and Miami, because that's what we're going to 597 00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:29,639 Speaker 1: be doing. But look, obviously a big playoff weekend in 598 00:26:29,680 --> 00:26:32,280 Speaker 1: the NFL, and you know the first thing I want 599 00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:35,280 Speaker 1: to say, Steve, is this is that for the team. 600 00:26:35,359 --> 00:26:39,640 Speaker 1: For teams like the Bears who play tomorrow, for the Chargers, 601 00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:42,840 Speaker 1: for the Eagles, for the Packers, for teams who have 602 00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:45,639 Speaker 1: clinched going into Week eighteen and then come up and 603 00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:47,399 Speaker 1: lay an egg week eighteen, right. 604 00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:48,600 Speaker 3: Like we saw this past weekend. 605 00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:51,280 Speaker 1: The Bears loss, but they backed their way in all 606 00:26:51,359 --> 00:26:55,080 Speaker 1: kinds of questions with Nick Sirianni, Hey, you know you 607 00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:56,120 Speaker 1: rested your starters. 608 00:26:56,200 --> 00:26:58,040 Speaker 3: You know, was that the right move? You know, same 609 00:26:58,080 --> 00:26:59,119 Speaker 3: thing Harbaugh. 610 00:26:58,840 --> 00:27:01,719 Speaker 1: Did the same thing for teams that are pre clinched 611 00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:03,760 Speaker 1: and they put up a goose egg or they play 612 00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:07,240 Speaker 1: they play crappy Week eighteen. I kind of put zero 613 00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:10,639 Speaker 1: stock in the Week eighteen games results of those teams 614 00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:13,359 Speaker 1: because they've decided this is okay, we're gonna rest our 615 00:27:13,359 --> 00:27:15,600 Speaker 1: players because we feel good about going on the road. 616 00:27:16,119 --> 00:27:17,800 Speaker 1: I don't really care if we're gonna be a seven 617 00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:19,560 Speaker 1: seed or a six seed. It doesn't matter. 618 00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:20,080 Speaker 7: You know. 619 00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:22,800 Speaker 1: Look, you could be playing a game where the opposition 620 00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:26,280 Speaker 1: is really jacked up to play this game for whatever reason, 621 00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:28,920 Speaker 1: and you wind up playing poorly. Look, the Lions were 622 00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:31,720 Speaker 1: jacked up to play that final game against the Bears 623 00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:33,560 Speaker 1: when clearly they could have quit and said, you know, look, 624 00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:35,480 Speaker 1: we're done. We're not making the playoffs. It's been a 625 00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:38,000 Speaker 1: long last three seasons. So there's a lot of things 626 00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:40,520 Speaker 1: out there, you know, And there's also not the same 627 00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:43,600 Speaker 1: motivation for teams that are playing for their playoff lives. 628 00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:47,240 Speaker 1: If you're playing for playoff seeding, or home field advantage 629 00:27:47,280 --> 00:27:51,240 Speaker 1: part to get right, but who knows. It's more about, Hey, 630 00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:53,320 Speaker 1: we want to make sure we're ready next week. 631 00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:54,880 Speaker 3: This week, the week eighteen. 632 00:27:55,040 --> 00:27:58,280 Speaker 1: If a team is playing for something, whether it's playoff 633 00:27:58,320 --> 00:28:00,840 Speaker 1: seeding or something like that, but not playing for their 634 00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:03,600 Speaker 1: playoff lives, if they played poorly, I kind of get it, 635 00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:06,399 Speaker 1: because it's really not the same thing to try the 636 00:28:06,440 --> 00:28:08,960 Speaker 1: motivation to play that week when your eye is on 637 00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:11,440 Speaker 1: something that's a week from now. So for those teams, 638 00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:14,240 Speaker 1: I'll tell you right now, like I put no stock 639 00:28:14,280 --> 00:28:16,560 Speaker 1: in the Bears or the Packers, or the Eagles or 640 00:28:16,560 --> 00:28:18,560 Speaker 1: the Chargers, any of those teams for this weekend. 641 00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:19,520 Speaker 3: Nothing zeroed on them. 642 00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:23,720 Speaker 4: I think your Charger example is great because I like 643 00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:28,400 Speaker 4: the theory that coach Harball was going by A, we've 644 00:28:28,440 --> 00:28:31,879 Speaker 4: clinched a playoffs, but B we have no chance of 645 00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:33,320 Speaker 4: a home game in the playoffs. 646 00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:35,040 Speaker 5: See, we need to get healthy. 647 00:28:35,280 --> 00:28:37,960 Speaker 4: So if we're going to make a run, health is 648 00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:40,520 Speaker 4: probably the number one thing for us, not the location 649 00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:43,800 Speaker 4: of the game or the opponent in the playoff game. 650 00:28:43,920 --> 00:28:47,040 Speaker 4: So that's why they sat not just Herbert but multiple 651 00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:50,600 Speaker 4: starters in their finale and predictably did not look good 652 00:28:50,760 --> 00:28:54,120 Speaker 4: and lost. The Bears were a little different because a 653 00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:56,880 Speaker 4: win and they themselves would clinch the two seed, not 654 00:28:56,960 --> 00:28:59,960 Speaker 4: having to rely on a Philly loss. And yet again, 655 00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:02,040 Speaker 4: and kind of like the game against the Packers a 656 00:29:02,040 --> 00:29:05,000 Speaker 4: few weeks ago, the offense did nothing the first three quarters. 657 00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:07,720 Speaker 4: The Bears at home, were down sixteen zips start the 658 00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:11,160 Speaker 4: fourth quarter last weekend against Detroit, and then they had 659 00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:13,880 Speaker 4: a chance here a tie game. It's gonna be another 660 00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:17,920 Speaker 4: magical Bears comeback, right, And no, it was the visitors. 661 00:29:17,480 --> 00:29:19,680 Speaker 5: That got the field goal on the final play to wins. 662 00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:22,760 Speaker 4: So it's not quite the same thing with what you're 663 00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:25,840 Speaker 4: talking about the Bears last weekend and the Chargers last weekend. 664 00:29:26,280 --> 00:29:29,480 Speaker 4: I think if it hurts anybody, I do agree that 665 00:29:29,520 --> 00:29:31,360 Speaker 4: would be too strong a word, it would be the 666 00:29:31,400 --> 00:29:33,960 Speaker 4: Bears because they actually played people and didn't win at home. 667 00:29:34,760 --> 00:29:37,080 Speaker 1: Now to start our preview, Look, we're gonna preview all 668 00:29:37,120 --> 00:29:39,400 Speaker 1: the big games this weekend. Throughout the show tonight, you 669 00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:41,400 Speaker 1: mentioned the Bears and the Packers that they're playing for 670 00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:42,760 Speaker 1: the seventh time this season. 671 00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:47,000 Speaker 4: This month, I think it's always about this fun Yeah, yeah, 672 00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:47,440 Speaker 4: this month. 673 00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:49,240 Speaker 3: Look everything Bears. 674 00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:52,720 Speaker 1: I've been on the Bears bandwagon. From the beginning of 675 00:29:52,720 --> 00:29:54,720 Speaker 1: the season. I knew they were going to be better. 676 00:29:54,720 --> 00:29:57,080 Speaker 1: I knew Ben Johnson was what they needed. Caleb Bllliams 677 00:29:57,160 --> 00:29:59,960 Speaker 1: was going to be this good. The Bears have proven 678 00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:02,040 Speaker 1: throughout the season they can win any game, They can 679 00:30:02,080 --> 00:30:05,480 Speaker 1: win games late. They are just a better team. They 680 00:30:05,520 --> 00:30:08,800 Speaker 1: are healthier. The only fear I have, and this is 681 00:30:08,840 --> 00:30:11,600 Speaker 1: a big deal, and I can say this because Harmon's 682 00:30:11,600 --> 00:30:14,280 Speaker 1: not here. This is my only found I'm not lying, Steve. 683 00:30:14,360 --> 00:30:17,960 Speaker 1: My only fear is that they wind up bearing at 684 00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:22,880 Speaker 1: some point and there is a huge Newsworthy double doink 685 00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:25,680 Speaker 1: type play that blows the game for the Bears. 686 00:30:25,720 --> 00:30:26,720 Speaker 3: There's one play. 687 00:30:26,520 --> 00:30:29,120 Speaker 1: That we're going to talk about a week next week, Yes, 688 00:30:29,480 --> 00:30:31,520 Speaker 1: all week. We'll talk about it next week that, Oh 689 00:30:31,560 --> 00:30:34,400 Speaker 1: my god, can you believe the Bears? Can you believe 690 00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:38,760 Speaker 1: that pass by Jordan Love hit the skycam deflected to 691 00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:41,760 Speaker 1: the receiver for a seventy five yard touchdown and replay 692 00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:44,120 Speaker 1: couldn't see it, and so they allowed it to stand 693 00:30:44,200 --> 00:30:47,000 Speaker 1: even though it hit the camera. Like that's how the 694 00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:48,800 Speaker 1: Bears are. I could see that being the way the 695 00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:52,080 Speaker 1: Bears lose. They have a completely Bear play that happens 696 00:30:52,320 --> 00:30:54,080 Speaker 1: that costs them and you shrug your shoulders and go, 697 00:30:54,480 --> 00:30:57,000 Speaker 1: what else do you expect? But outside of that, give 698 00:30:57,040 --> 00:30:58,720 Speaker 1: me the Bears in this one, right, I mean, what 699 00:30:58,840 --> 00:31:00,720 Speaker 1: being a Bears fan is, being doue is just around 700 00:31:00,720 --> 00:31:02,600 Speaker 1: the corner. But that's the only thing I have. They're 701 00:31:02,600 --> 00:31:05,640 Speaker 1: the better football team, They're better everywhere. This should be 702 00:31:05,680 --> 00:31:07,840 Speaker 1: a Bear victory going on in the next round of 703 00:31:07,840 --> 00:31:08,320 Speaker 1: the playoffs. 704 00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:10,680 Speaker 4: Packers have really slumped in the last month as well. 705 00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:14,479 Speaker 4: The thing that surprises me we'll talk more about Packers Bears, 706 00:31:14,520 --> 00:31:17,480 Speaker 4: which is a Saturday night wildcard game, is the Bears 707 00:31:17,480 --> 00:31:20,200 Speaker 4: have a losing record in division games this year. They 708 00:31:20,320 --> 00:31:23,800 Speaker 4: just have the magical comebacks in the final two minutes 709 00:31:23,840 --> 00:31:26,600 Speaker 4: and that's why that's the only reason why they're the 710 00:31:26,640 --> 00:31:31,320 Speaker 4: two seeds. Statistically, they're really not what you would draw 711 00:31:31,440 --> 00:31:33,719 Speaker 4: up as a two seed, and yet that's what they 712 00:31:33,760 --> 00:31:36,880 Speaker 4: wind up being because of what's been magic during the season. 713 00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:38,440 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, give me the Bear. 714 00:31:39,240 --> 00:31:42,920 Speaker 1: If the Packers were a little bit healthier, it may 715 00:31:43,280 --> 00:31:45,280 Speaker 1: I maybe would have me feel a little bit better. 716 00:31:45,280 --> 00:31:48,360 Speaker 1: But they just they're really banged up and the look 717 00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:50,680 Speaker 1: I know people are just wait, like I said, I'm 718 00:31:50,720 --> 00:31:53,120 Speaker 1: not waiting for disaster for the Bears, but outside of 719 00:31:53,160 --> 00:31:56,040 Speaker 1: a play like that happening, the Bears are just too good. 720 00:31:56,120 --> 00:31:58,360 Speaker 1: Not that they're too big to fail, but the people 721 00:31:58,360 --> 00:32:00,520 Speaker 1: don't understand just how good of a football team. This 722 00:32:00,640 --> 00:32:02,320 Speaker 1: is how clutch they are, how they can do. They 723 00:32:02,360 --> 00:32:05,040 Speaker 1: have the playmakers for everything, whether it's whether it's DJ 724 00:32:05,160 --> 00:32:06,960 Speaker 1: Moore with a big game or Loveland who seems to 725 00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:07,600 Speaker 1: be breaking out. 726 00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:11,440 Speaker 4: Two running back starter on any other team. Pretty much yeah, 727 00:32:11,480 --> 00:32:11,840 Speaker 4: those you. 728 00:32:11,720 --> 00:32:14,640 Speaker 1: Get the turnovers, opportunistic defense, a little like like that. 729 00:32:14,680 --> 00:32:16,560 Speaker 1: They're that they are that good. 730 00:32:16,600 --> 00:32:18,160 Speaker 3: I know. Ah, but it's the Bears. 731 00:32:18,240 --> 00:32:20,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, Outside of that, Bears are winning this game. 732 00:32:20,920 --> 00:32:23,760 Speaker 1: Moving on in the playoffs, exit out about a fresca 733 00:32:23,880 --> 00:32:24,440 Speaker 1: Jason Smith. 734 00:32:24,440 --> 00:32:26,560 Speaker 3: Steve Desager in from Mike Harmon tonight. 735 00:32:26,640 --> 00:32:29,240 Speaker 1: Well, I'd like to say it's getting closer in the 736 00:32:29,240 --> 00:32:31,840 Speaker 1: Peach Bowl, except it's not.

Am 807 00:36:13,120 --> 00:36:15,920 Speaker 4: I going out on a limb? I'm saying this for 808 00:36:16,040 --> 00:36:18,719 Speaker 4: crying out allowed. It's six minutes left in a semi five. 809 00:36:18,800 --> 00:36:19,759 Speaker 5: That killing him? 810 00:36:20,040 --> 00:36:22,720 Speaker 3: Yeah, no, that's true. That's why. Kurt Signetti, Kurt Signette, 811 00:36:22,719 --> 00:36:24,759 Speaker 3: you never know, you never know. You got am out there. 812 00:36:25,560 --> 00:36:28,200 Speaker 4: So yeah, another guy named Mendoza that you could just 813 00:36:28,239 --> 00:36:29,919 Speaker 4: pull off the bench and put in there. 814 00:36:30,280 --> 00:36:32,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, Mario Mendoza, you can put him in there. He 815 00:36:32,400 --> 00:36:33,880 Speaker 1: won't hit very well, but just got to hand the 816 00:36:33,920 --> 00:36:34,840 Speaker 1: ball off, that's all you have to do. 817 00:36:36,960 --> 00:36:42,320 Speaker 4: The guy's brother was already Alberto, was already at Indiana 818 00:36:42,400 --> 00:36:43,840 Speaker 4: when Fernando transferred in. 819 00:36:44,800 --> 00:36:46,520 Speaker 1: So we'll have more on this game and the big 820 00:36:46,560 --> 00:36:49,680 Speaker 1: takeaways coming up in about ten minutes. But two more 821 00:36:49,719 --> 00:36:53,040 Speaker 1: big NFL playoff games to preview, and look, I'd love 822 00:36:53,120 --> 00:36:55,080 Speaker 1: to be the guy to tell you that, Hey, I 823 00:36:55,120 --> 00:36:57,719 Speaker 1: think the Carolina Panthers can upset the let No, not 824 00:36:57,840 --> 00:37:02,440 Speaker 1: happening The Rams should win this game by twenty points. 825 00:37:02,480 --> 00:37:05,120 Speaker 1: If they don't, it's an embarrassment. I know Carolina beat 826 00:37:05,200 --> 00:37:08,000 Speaker 1: him once. Blah blah blah blah blah. Rams didn't end 827 00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:09,880 Speaker 1: the season on as big of an upswing as you 828 00:37:09,880 --> 00:37:13,520 Speaker 1: would expect, but this is a team that is playoff tested. 829 00:37:13,760 --> 00:37:16,560 Speaker 1: They're waiting for this moment. They didn't get home field, 830 00:37:16,600 --> 00:37:18,400 Speaker 1: which was their goal. They played great early on in 831 00:37:18,400 --> 00:37:20,640 Speaker 1: the season. They had a chance to snag home field. 832 00:37:20,680 --> 00:37:22,960 Speaker 1: They didn't do it. But it doesn't matter. This is 833 00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:26,240 Speaker 1: a game where the best team in the NFC playing 834 00:37:26,239 --> 00:37:28,879 Speaker 1: against a team that's lucky to get in. Hey, this 835 00:37:28,920 --> 00:37:30,640 Speaker 1: is where the Rams need to do this and win 836 00:37:30,680 --> 00:37:33,680 Speaker 1: this game early and win by twenty. The fun ride 837 00:37:33,880 --> 00:37:36,120 Speaker 1: ends for Carolina. No matter how you want to look 838 00:37:36,120 --> 00:37:38,840 Speaker 1: at this, it's been an incredibly successful year for Carolina. 839 00:37:38,920 --> 00:37:40,719 Speaker 1: I love the fact they've been able to make it work. 840 00:37:40,840 --> 00:37:42,600 Speaker 1: They made it work with Bryce Young. There's a lot 841 00:37:42,600 --> 00:37:45,680 Speaker 1: of excitement there. Teed McMillan, Rookie of the Year favorite 842 00:37:46,040 --> 00:37:49,880 Speaker 1: great stuff. They get absolutely blitzed by the Rams and 843 00:37:50,320 --> 00:37:52,560 Speaker 1: the best defense on display this weekend is going to 844 00:37:52,600 --> 00:37:54,800 Speaker 1: get it done and you watch them win this game. 845 00:37:54,960 --> 00:37:57,400 Speaker 1: If it's not the Rams by twenty Steve, I'll be shocked. 846 00:37:57,640 --> 00:37:59,799 Speaker 4: I could see like a twenty seven to ten type 847 00:37:59,800 --> 00:38:02,920 Speaker 4: of and frankly, I was shocked that it was even close. 848 00:38:02,960 --> 00:38:05,800 Speaker 4: When they played at Carolina during the season, that was 849 00:38:05,840 --> 00:38:08,759 Speaker 4: an embarrassing loss to me. I don't care that Carolina 850 00:38:08,760 --> 00:38:11,480 Speaker 4: eventually won its division. This is not a winning team. 851 00:38:11,760 --> 00:38:16,279 Speaker 4: The Rams have had some shockingly bad losses on the road. 852 00:38:16,400 --> 00:38:19,480 Speaker 4: I mean blowing the game at Seattle and then blowing 853 00:38:19,480 --> 00:38:22,600 Speaker 4: the game at Philadelphia early in the season. And this game. 854 00:38:23,080 --> 00:38:26,600 Speaker 4: I don't think Matthew Stafford can play that badly as 855 00:38:26,640 --> 00:38:29,960 Speaker 4: he did at Carolina in this playoff opener coming up 856 00:38:29,960 --> 00:38:32,600 Speaker 4: on Saturday. And I'm not sure that Bryce Young can 857 00:38:32,640 --> 00:38:35,200 Speaker 4: play that well against the Rams defense as he did 858 00:38:35,239 --> 00:38:39,080 Speaker 4: before come this game on Saturday afternoon. The Rams are 859 00:38:39,120 --> 00:38:43,400 Speaker 4: the best scoring team in the NFL. They average thirty 860 00:38:43,440 --> 00:38:45,520 Speaker 4: points a game, and I know people are used to 861 00:38:45,560 --> 00:38:48,840 Speaker 4: seeing scores in the thirties because we all watch college 862 00:38:48,840 --> 00:38:52,640 Speaker 4: football as well, Averaging thirty points a game just doesn't 863 00:38:52,680 --> 00:38:55,680 Speaker 4: happen in the NFL. The Rams are the best at 864 00:38:55,719 --> 00:38:59,600 Speaker 4: scoring this year. They also averaged close to four hundred 865 00:38:59,680 --> 00:39:02,680 Speaker 4: total yards a game. That is the best. I'd be 866 00:39:02,719 --> 00:39:05,359 Speaker 4: shocked if the Rams don't win. It should be by 867 00:39:05,400 --> 00:39:06,680 Speaker 4: a couple tds. 868 00:39:06,920 --> 00:39:11,400 Speaker 1: And give me a double Los Angeles victory. This weekend, 869 00:39:11,680 --> 00:39:16,240 Speaker 1: I'll take the Chargers to the Patriots. Look, defense travels 870 00:39:16,239 --> 00:39:18,680 Speaker 1: in the playoffs. The weather's not gonna be so so 871 00:39:18,800 --> 00:39:20,239 Speaker 1: bad in New England at least right now. I mean, 872 00:39:20,239 --> 00:39:24,960 Speaker 1: who knows, maybe they face bring in snow. Look, they're 873 00:39:25,000 --> 00:39:28,319 Speaker 1: gonna cause major problems for the Patriots. Chargers play their 874 00:39:28,360 --> 00:39:31,040 Speaker 1: best game of the year. New England front runs great. 875 00:39:31,120 --> 00:39:33,360 Speaker 1: Right when they get out against bad teams and score 876 00:39:33,480 --> 00:39:36,160 Speaker 1: first and they can run the game, They're terrific at it. 877 00:39:36,200 --> 00:39:38,759 Speaker 1: They're terrific front runners. But what's gonna happen when they 878 00:39:38,800 --> 00:39:40,919 Speaker 1: get punched in the mouth by this Charger defense, which 879 00:39:40,960 --> 00:39:42,800 Speaker 1: is one of the top five defense in the NFL, 880 00:39:43,080 --> 00:39:44,440 Speaker 1: and they have to go back and forth. 881 00:39:44,560 --> 00:39:45,280 Speaker 3: It is different. 882 00:39:45,640 --> 00:39:48,600 Speaker 1: First playoff game after an easy schedule. Give me the 883 00:39:48,680 --> 00:39:51,960 Speaker 1: Chargers defense to fluster Drake May. It's a hard fought win, 884 00:39:52,280 --> 00:39:55,040 Speaker 1: but the Chargers play great all around, and it's two 885 00:39:55,120 --> 00:39:57,560 Speaker 1: wins for both Los Angeles teams this weekend in the NFL, 886 00:39:57,760 --> 00:39:59,080 Speaker 1: Go Chargers Go. 887 00:40:00,040 --> 00:40:01,359 Speaker 5: It is a night game. Sunday night. 888 00:40:01,680 --> 00:40:04,520 Speaker 4: I just don't trust the offensive line that the Chargers 889 00:40:04,600 --> 00:40:06,440 Speaker 4: have to throw out there. So, by the way, being 890 00:40:06,480 --> 00:40:08,720 Speaker 4: a night game, it'll be in the thirties, not forty degrees. 891 00:40:09,080 --> 00:40:09,759 Speaker 3: Yeah, but that's fine. 892 00:40:09,800 --> 00:40:11,960 Speaker 1: But it's not going to be zero degrees and snow 893 00:40:12,080 --> 00:40:14,320 Speaker 1: and freezing rain like like the weather's going to cooperate 894 00:40:14,360 --> 00:40:15,760 Speaker 1: as much as it can for the Chargers. 895 00:40:16,040 --> 00:40:18,279 Speaker 4: Now, Drake may has had a great season, and I 896 00:40:18,360 --> 00:40:21,720 Speaker 4: don't want to say anything bad about the Patriots season 897 00:40:22,000 --> 00:40:26,120 Speaker 4: or his season. People constantly bring up the easier schedule. 898 00:40:26,280 --> 00:40:29,560 Speaker 4: I would tack on the Patriots earned that schedule. They 899 00:40:29,600 --> 00:40:32,920 Speaker 4: were atrocious the previous two years. They earned the schedule 900 00:40:32,960 --> 00:40:36,040 Speaker 4: that they played this year. Congratulations for going fourteen and 901 00:40:36,160 --> 00:40:37,960 Speaker 4: three on it. I would not be shocked to see 902 00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:40,960 Speaker 4: the Pats win at home because of even though without 903 00:40:40,960 --> 00:40:43,320 Speaker 4: a great pass rush, because of the offensive line the 904 00:40:43,440 --> 00:40:43,920 Speaker 4: Chargers have. 905 00:40:44,480 --> 00:40:45,240 Speaker 3: Oh you non. 906 00:40:45,160 --> 00:40:48,520 Speaker 1: Believer, you Chargers non But Jim Harbor's gonna come here 907 00:40:48,840 --> 00:40:49,600 Speaker 1: the line, sho you up. 908 00:40:50,040 --> 00:40:51,080 Speaker 3: He's going to get Justin. 909 00:40:51,600 --> 00:40:54,600 Speaker 4: Justin Herbert has been hit more than any other quarterback 910 00:40:54,640 --> 00:40:55,600 Speaker 4: in the NFL this year. 911 00:40:56,440 --> 00:40:59,280 Speaker 1: More Big Football Preview and more from the College football 912 00:40:59,360 --> 00:41:00,800 Speaker 1: semi next right here on Fox
