1 00:00:07,760 --> 00:00:10,840 Speaker 1: Hi, and welcome to the official Good Morning Football Podcast. 2 00:00:11,160 --> 00:00:13,520 Speaker 1: I'm Will Selvan. Here are the best moments from this 3 00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:16,560 Speaker 1: week so far at the Breakfast Table. Week ten had 4 00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:20,079 Speaker 1: as glued to the screen, from a Patriot's upset in 5 00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:24,040 Speaker 1: Tennessee to the Saints continuing their wind streak against the Bengals. 6 00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:26,880 Speaker 1: Let's find out what the Breakfast Table thought about some 7 00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:30,320 Speaker 1: of the biggest games from Week ten. Okay, I look 8 00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:32,320 Speaker 1: at the Cowboys and what they were going through the 9 00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:34,479 Speaker 1: last five days, and I almost think of like hit 10 00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:36,760 Speaker 1: to be grimm. Here a coroner's office and there's this 11 00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:40,080 Speaker 1: corpse and people are just picking it apart. Second, because 12 00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:43,280 Speaker 1: that's how the national media was treating the Cowboys. Daks 13 00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:46,279 Speaker 1: thinks Jason Garrett's thanks Scotland Han should be fired. They 14 00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:48,919 Speaker 1: have no receivers, their offensive line is overrated. The defensive 15 00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:51,800 Speaker 1: they were awesome last night. And I love Jerry Jones's 16 00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:53,640 Speaker 1: quote afterwards. We didn't have it on this one. I'm 17 00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:55,280 Speaker 1: gonna give it to you. This is his quote to 18 00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:58,760 Speaker 1: the local Dallas reporters. This is particularly rewarding. We were 19 00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:00,920 Speaker 1: being laid to bear the past week and really building 20 00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:02,920 Speaker 1: up to this past week, we were being really operated 21 00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:05,440 Speaker 1: on and look to see what's there these guys, these players, 22 00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:07,560 Speaker 1: and frankly Jason Garrett and these coaches when we really 23 00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:09,560 Speaker 1: look deep into the surgery that came out and we 24 00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:13,119 Speaker 1: said it's not terminal, and it's not terminal. You look 25 00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:15,840 Speaker 1: around this locker room right now. Zeke played well. Gallop 26 00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:18,479 Speaker 1: played well, and Jason Garrett shout out to him because 27 00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:21,320 Speaker 1: with everybody picking him apart for being too conservative, not 28 00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:24,080 Speaker 1: having the courage. Here it is fourth and two, a 29 00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:27,319 Speaker 1: fake punt to Jeff Heath and gets the first down 30 00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:29,399 Speaker 1: and moves the chains and they would later make the 31 00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:31,680 Speaker 1: points to really get ahead in this game. And love 32 00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:34,520 Speaker 1: this call, and it's symbolic of the Cowboys. Look Todd 33 00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:37,080 Speaker 1: Bowles on the hot seat late and Egg yesterday, We're 34 00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:39,920 Speaker 1: going down to dirt cutter Late in Egg yesterday. Jason 35 00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:42,320 Speaker 1: Garrett might have coached the best game of the season yesterday, 36 00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:43,840 Speaker 1: finding a way to win on the road in the 37 00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:46,880 Speaker 1: defending champions House with all of the pomp and circumstance 38 00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:49,160 Speaker 1: of a former president and Veterans Day and everything going 39 00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:51,720 Speaker 1: on into this game. Jason Garrett in the Cowboys show 40 00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:53,920 Speaker 1: they're still America's team and he's still gonna be America's coach. 41 00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:55,280 Speaker 1: He is going to be the coach of the rest 42 00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:57,480 Speaker 1: of the season. Game like that really saves his job. 43 00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:00,920 Speaker 1: And I'll tell you takes all of us technicians and 44 00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:03,960 Speaker 1: doctors and everyone working on a play an operation. It 45 00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:05,800 Speaker 1: puts us at bay. And I gotta say, hats off 46 00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:07,320 Speaker 1: to the Cowboys. They got the job now. So it's 47 00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:08,880 Speaker 1: too early to say this statement, but it'll be so 48 00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:10,480 Speaker 1: interesting to see what they decided to do with Dak. 49 00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:13,600 Speaker 1: Dak is your franchise guy. He's gonna have to get 50 00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:15,680 Speaker 1: paid and extended. We'll see how that all turns out 51 00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:18,519 Speaker 1: after the season. Doctor shreikes, Doctor schreer, I'm looking on 52 00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:20,200 Speaker 1: the other side of the ball. Less than eight months 53 00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:22,640 Speaker 1: after a parade. Eagles fans booed the team last nights 54 00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:24,519 Speaker 1: and they should have they should have everyone's off in 55 00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:25,959 Speaker 1: their arms. How do you do that? They're going to 56 00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:28,560 Speaker 1: performance and everyone say, well, they brought you a super 57 00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:31,600 Speaker 1: Bowl at that time. Enough of that, and it's enough 58 00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:34,760 Speaker 1: of the Philly Special, enough of the dogs, enough of 59 00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:37,280 Speaker 1: the mummer's costume, because it's starting to sound a little 60 00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:38,799 Speaker 1: bit like a guy who goes back to his high 61 00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:42,519 Speaker 1: school campus after he graduate O'Connell exactly doing belches and 62 00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:44,880 Speaker 1: I mean trying to live up the glory days. Here's 63 00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:47,360 Speaker 1: the thing. Jerry Jones also said this week that he 64 00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:49,440 Speaker 1: saw the grim Reaper this week. He saw that for himself. 65 00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:51,800 Speaker 1: I was for the team. He thought, this is now 66 00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:54,840 Speaker 1: the Eagles Grim Reaper week. They're going to New Orleans. 67 00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:58,760 Speaker 1: If your dogs bite somebody, do something, all right, because 68 00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:00,799 Speaker 1: this is the game. If you lose this game, it's over. 69 00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:03,720 Speaker 1: This is not about Philly and me. This is about 70 00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:05,680 Speaker 1: Marley and me, because that's how the season is going 71 00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:10,640 Speaker 1: in do something right, That's what it's going. With the 72 00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:12,639 Speaker 1: Eagles fans. We were in London and I got in 73 00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:14,280 Speaker 1: the elevator with a bunch of Eagles fans who made 74 00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:15,840 Speaker 1: the trip over to London. I said, you guys, an 75 00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:17,680 Speaker 1: have to be loud. And this Eagles fan is a diehard, 76 00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:19,160 Speaker 1: looks at me and says, we've been loud all season. 77 00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:20,919 Speaker 1: They just haven't been good. And I'm like, all right, 78 00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:23,080 Speaker 1: Like it's quick that thing, right. You know, the Super 79 00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:25,280 Speaker 1: Bowl parade was nice. It was a long time ago. Now, 80 00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:28,000 Speaker 1: you know, I'm looking at the Patriots and Titans end 81 00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:31,360 Speaker 1: and for so long, I've looked at the Patriots as 82 00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:34,200 Speaker 1: an offense that is about as unpredictable as in my 83 00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:36,960 Speaker 1: Shamalan movies. It's six good ones. And you know what, 84 00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:40,080 Speaker 1: that team, that offense, that coach has been haunting as 85 00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:42,760 Speaker 1: former coaches and foreign players for a long time. Mike 86 00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:45,440 Speaker 1: Rabel comes in and he takes that approach. He says, 87 00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:47,160 Speaker 1: you know what, I'm going to be unpredictable, and they 88 00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:50,240 Speaker 1: come out passing the rock. You would think that with 89 00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:53,160 Speaker 1: the hand injury from Mariota, with the struggles of TD 90 00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:55,640 Speaker 1: to interception ratio, that they would come out they lean 91 00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:57,920 Speaker 1: on Dion Lewis, Leon Deck Henry early in the game. 92 00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:01,200 Speaker 1: That's what you would assume. Rabel say, no, no no, let's 93 00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:04,560 Speaker 1: take the approach and give our young quarterbacks, superstar quarterback 94 00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:07,360 Speaker 1: who's feeling better, a chance to open up the running 95 00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:09,840 Speaker 1: game by passing the rock, and then plays like this. 96 00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:12,680 Speaker 1: It only solidified the fact that a little bit of 97 00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:14,760 Speaker 1: Bill Belichick has rubbed off on this young coach. You 98 00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:16,720 Speaker 1: used to play for him, So for me, this was great. 99 00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:18,600 Speaker 1: And on top of that, Dean Lewis at the end 100 00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:20,479 Speaker 1: of the game, after the game saying, you know you 101 00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:22,560 Speaker 1: go cheap, you get your bleak kicked, and I feel 102 00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:24,720 Speaker 1: like that's like a kid that used to get it whooping. 103 00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:26,880 Speaker 1: And you know how you you would whisper like, oh man, 104 00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:30,120 Speaker 1: I hate getting whipping. Your mom be like what you say, boy? Nothing? Nothing, 105 00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:31,760 Speaker 1: and you would. They would say that about the Patriots 106 00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:33,760 Speaker 1: all the time. You know, the Patriots always go cheap. 107 00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:36,440 Speaker 1: They never pay anybody. What you say, nothing. But when 108 00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:38,120 Speaker 1: you get older and your mom tries to whoop and 109 00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:40,280 Speaker 1: you're like, mom, I'm seventeen, No, you grabbed that bell. 110 00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:43,440 Speaker 1: You know, just talk to me. An, that's these young 111 00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:47,640 Speaker 1: kids Patriots. Don't listen. You're not whooping me anymore. I'm 112 00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:50,120 Speaker 1: a grown man. And that was the Titans growing up. 113 00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:52,160 Speaker 1: It was, but it wasn't a close game like the 114 00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:54,720 Speaker 1: Eagles and the Cowboys that was. It could have been anyway. 115 00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:59,200 Speaker 1: They choose your words. Whooped the Patriots. The Patriots always 116 00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:01,039 Speaker 1: have that one game that they lose. It doesn't make 117 00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:03,880 Speaker 1: any sense, and they somehow galvanize that's not this like 118 00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:06,159 Speaker 1: they've done that pretty much three times. They've ben't blown 119 00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:08,440 Speaker 1: out in these losses, which is so weird. But also 120 00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:10,320 Speaker 1: do credit to Mariota. You're saying his hand injury. You 121 00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:12,719 Speaker 1: thought they'd run. I feel like he's healthy. We saw 122 00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:14,159 Speaker 1: it last week. I sort of like he just he 123 00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:16,320 Speaker 1: looks a little bit different, a little bit more comfortable, 124 00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:18,960 Speaker 1: and he's four touchdowns no interceptions over the last two 125 00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:21,240 Speaker 1: stringing it together. Maybe it just took. He has a 126 00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:23,640 Speaker 1: new coach, new offensive coordinator, and Matt Lafloor, who I 127 00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:25,680 Speaker 1: spoke very highly of in the off season. Maybe it's 128 00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:28,560 Speaker 1: just like now, jelling and coming together at the right time. 129 00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:31,919 Speaker 1: The defense has been on point all season long, and 130 00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:34,800 Speaker 1: they held mister Brady in check. I also love the 131 00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:36,840 Speaker 1: creativity of what this offense is showing. Right, we saw 132 00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:39,320 Speaker 1: the thing with Brady and now here you have Darius 133 00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:42,280 Speaker 1: Jennings too, Mariota, this is less than a minute later, 134 00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:45,559 Speaker 1: Like this is absolute trolling and flexing on the field, 135 00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:47,120 Speaker 1: and I was kind of here for it. I was 136 00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:48,920 Speaker 1: like what Folds did in Super Bowl. Yeah he dropped 137 00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:51,160 Speaker 1: the foals, caught it. Yeah. We loved Todd Gurley, right, 138 00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:54,400 Speaker 1: Todd gros when everybody's fantasy league, incredible, incredible player. Every 139 00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:56,760 Speaker 1: once in a while we are reminded that the best 140 00:05:56,800 --> 00:05:59,360 Speaker 1: player on the Los Angeles Rams is Aaron Donald. He's 141 00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:02,240 Speaker 1: the guy. It's the dark room mafia loves him. But 142 00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:03,600 Speaker 1: every once in a while, you don't have to be 143 00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:05,359 Speaker 1: a dark room guy. Every once in a while he 144 00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:07,600 Speaker 1: comes out of the dark room. He had two and 145 00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:10,039 Speaker 1: a half sacks. That's great. There was a moment yesterday 146 00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:11,919 Speaker 1: that blew my mind, and it was late in the 147 00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:13,960 Speaker 1: game when Russell Wilson flipped it forward to avoid a 148 00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:16,479 Speaker 1: sack and came a fumble. Am we gonna watch Russell's 149 00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:18,320 Speaker 1: gonna step up and just toss that Aaron Donald's gonna 150 00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:21,760 Speaker 1: pick it up and start running around like Rod Woodson 151 00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:25,039 Speaker 1: Or that's a two hundred and ninety pound man right there. 152 00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:28,039 Speaker 1: I've never seen Jerome vettis. To be honest, Jerome bettis great, 153 00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:31,040 Speaker 1: even in the same old Rams uniform. Donald is such 154 00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:34,120 Speaker 1: a freak. I could not believe this play of all things, 155 00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:36,320 Speaker 1: take the sacks and the pass rushes away. I will 156 00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:37,839 Speaker 1: also say that at the end of this play and 157 00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:41,280 Speaker 1: after the game, there was some major extracurriculars with Seahawks 158 00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:44,520 Speaker 1: lineman Justin britt Ugly stuff that I don't condone. But 159 00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:46,679 Speaker 1: I will say this, as much as we talk about 160 00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:48,680 Speaker 1: the Rams and they're fast and they're flashy. I don't 161 00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:50,719 Speaker 1: think the word tough comes up very much. I don't 162 00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:53,280 Speaker 1: think the phrase don't bleep with us comes up very much. 163 00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:56,280 Speaker 1: It came up yesterday. And let me just say, maybe 164 00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:58,680 Speaker 1: it's in the playoffs. Maybe when it's Kamara and it's 165 00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:01,520 Speaker 1: Ingram and it's Breeze, it's ninety nine, who is going 166 00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:04,440 Speaker 1: to stop them? Best player on the best team outside 167 00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:05,960 Speaker 1: of the Saint Yes, And if you want to talk 168 00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:09,400 Speaker 1: about toughness, I don't think the country really realizes just 169 00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:11,800 Speaker 1: what that franchise went through. The beast few days we 170 00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:15,960 Speaker 1: saw the Thousand Oaks tragedy that was horrendous, and then 171 00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:18,000 Speaker 1: right off the heels of that, I could tell you 172 00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:22,040 Speaker 1: that seventy five different members of the Rams organizations, players, coaches, 173 00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:25,800 Speaker 1: staff had to leave their homes and evacuate Thursday or Friday. 174 00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:28,640 Speaker 1: Among them Jared Goff, Aaron Donald, Andrew Whitworth and the 175 00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:31,720 Speaker 1: kel Robie Coleman, general manager, Less Need and Wade Phillips, 176 00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:33,720 Speaker 1: all to leave their house not knowing if their house 177 00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:36,000 Speaker 1: is going to be upright when they come back out 178 00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:38,800 Speaker 1: of this game. They win this game, and they do so, 179 00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:41,480 Speaker 1: and they do so with the entire community around them. 180 00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:43,679 Speaker 1: Every team needs to hit that little level of adversity. 181 00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:45,440 Speaker 1: I hate making this about football because this is real 182 00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:48,320 Speaker 1: lifetime stuff. But for them to find a way to 183 00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:51,600 Speaker 1: focus on this game, come back from being down early 184 00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:54,200 Speaker 1: and say, okay, well for at least two three hours, 185 00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:55,960 Speaker 1: can we give our fans some entertainment. So I'm gonna 186 00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:57,680 Speaker 1: take their minds off of that and for us personally 187 00:07:57,720 --> 00:07:59,880 Speaker 1: to do it. They got the job done. You want 188 00:07:59,880 --> 00:08:02,200 Speaker 1: to adversity, that's real adversity, that's not an injury to 189 00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:05,040 Speaker 1: a player. That is serious life stuff. The Rams finding 190 00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:06,760 Speaker 1: a way to win and holding it down. I think 191 00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:08,760 Speaker 1: that is so impressive and I think that will only 192 00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:11,000 Speaker 1: aid them as they move forward in this journey. I'm 193 00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:14,920 Speaker 1: looking at that Saints offense and how you define a 194 00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:18,520 Speaker 1: connection between a quarterback and a wide receiver. Is the 195 00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:20,920 Speaker 1: frequency in which you go to that wide out and 196 00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:23,280 Speaker 1: how many catches he makes, and you look at Drew 197 00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:26,600 Speaker 1: Brees playing unbelievable and what he does with Mike Thomas. 198 00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:30,640 Speaker 1: The number in which the completion rate is it's the 199 00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:33,720 Speaker 1: same number as a radio station as hard to dial in. 200 00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:38,360 Speaker 1: It's eighty nine point seven. Eighty nine point that's exactly 201 00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:40,520 Speaker 1: what it is. He went eight for eight through the 202 00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:42,720 Speaker 1: ball to him eight times, he catches at eight times, 203 00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:44,960 Speaker 1: gets in the end zone twice. You talked about it 204 00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:47,920 Speaker 1: during the highlight. Mike Thomas is on a tear, and 205 00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:51,600 Speaker 1: he's on a tear while they're searching for his number two. 206 00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:55,200 Speaker 1: How many guys can play at this level when they're 207 00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:58,520 Speaker 1: still looking for his running mate. That's like them's just 208 00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:01,240 Speaker 1: saying a batman, he needs your utility beilt, you need 209 00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:03,880 Speaker 1: your backcar, batman build or the bad bike. You need everything, 210 00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:05,599 Speaker 1: But you're not gonna have Robin. You're not gonna have 211 00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:07,800 Speaker 1: him for a while to be the joker. We're still 212 00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:11,760 Speaker 1: looking for your roadog. And he doesn't have a wing man. Obviously, 213 00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:14,400 Speaker 1: he has these guys that playing unbelievable, mark Ingram and 214 00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:17,360 Speaker 1: alb Acamara. But I just have to appreciate Mike Thomas, 215 00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:18,679 Speaker 1: and I say it all the time, take it for 216 00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:21,240 Speaker 1: phase value. They're playing great right now. We know that 217 00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:24,200 Speaker 1: Drew Brees is a great quarterback. Mike Thomas is one 218 00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:26,120 Speaker 1: of the young great stars in this league. And if 219 00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:28,400 Speaker 1: you're paying attention to what they're doing, they are doing 220 00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:30,559 Speaker 1: something historical that doesn't happen every season. I love it. 221 00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:32,760 Speaker 1: And there's something about the energy Tony I think that 222 00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:34,640 Speaker 1: is most impressive. With the Saints. They have a coach 223 00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:38,280 Speaker 1: who gets under people's skin, who's passionate on the sideline 224 00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:40,800 Speaker 1: in the locker room clearly, and you know, besaw Marcus 225 00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:43,280 Speaker 1: Peter's reacting to that. You have mark Ingram. You'd think 226 00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:46,360 Speaker 1: that this hole does Bryant think could be a distraction 227 00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:48,320 Speaker 1: to this locker room. The media is all over it. 228 00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:51,319 Speaker 1: He's there, he's not there. The injury happens, not at all. 229 00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:54,160 Speaker 1: They rolled and instead they like embraced the moment and 230 00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:57,880 Speaker 1: like we're such good teammates and just brothers in this thing. 231 00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:00,440 Speaker 1: Mark Ingram tweeting this the night before the ex going up. 232 00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:02,960 Speaker 1: Bro it went up twice when he scored a touchdown 233 00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:04,560 Speaker 1: at least twice. It was the ones I saw. And 234 00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:07,280 Speaker 1: then Alvin Kamara did the same thing. So even just that, 235 00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:09,760 Speaker 1: there's just this attitude. You guys showed the highlights, all 236 00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:13,120 Speaker 1: the defensive players coming out to support Marcus, who obviously 237 00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:15,680 Speaker 1: was the punching bag for a while. All of those 238 00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:18,360 Speaker 1: things just so show how much of an awesome team 239 00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:20,640 Speaker 1: this is. And this was a bit of a trap game. 240 00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:22,760 Speaker 1: I love that they stayed focused, they executed, they got 241 00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:24,920 Speaker 1: it done. And I also love that they are now 242 00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:28,280 Speaker 1: five a O on the road. The last time the 243 00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:30,280 Speaker 1: Saints were five an O on the road, they won 244 00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:33,360 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. And there are some questions about Dez Bryant. 245 00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:36,280 Speaker 1: Two coaches like um, two organizations like him. How do 246 00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:38,520 Speaker 1: teammates feel about him? And how you approaches the game? 247 00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:41,040 Speaker 1: What does that say about how he's respected? One day, 248 00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:44,680 Speaker 1: they were a young generation of superstars and Kamara did that. 249 00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:46,480 Speaker 1: You know, they did the tantem interviews after game all 250 00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:48,720 Speaker 1: the time, and they're peppered with these questions about why 251 00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:51,680 Speaker 1: you guys not even one full practice here. It doesn't 252 00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:53,600 Speaker 1: They're like, we just liked them. He fit in right 253 00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:55,640 Speaker 1: away with us. He was one of our guys immediately. 254 00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:57,640 Speaker 1: Everybody tries to define chemistry and how the hell do 255 00:10:57,640 --> 00:10:58,840 Speaker 1: you get it? I don't know how to define it. 256 00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:01,920 Speaker 1: The Saints have him a tribute. Drew Brees connected on 257 00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:04,000 Speaker 1: eighty eight percent of his passes yesterday. Hey look at 258 00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:09,319 Speaker 1: that still on the team. Yeah. Oh, and he could 259 00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:11,960 Speaker 1: rehab there and he's gonna get a super Bowl ring. 260 00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:14,760 Speaker 1: If the playoff bonus does is part of the Saints. 261 00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:17,880 Speaker 1: He's on the Saints. Where should the blame be placed 262 00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:20,320 Speaker 1: if we're looking at the back pages here in New York, 263 00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:21,920 Speaker 1: I actually don't want to look at those back pages. 264 00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:25,080 Speaker 1: They're brutal this morning as far as the Jets are concerned. 265 00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:27,280 Speaker 1: If you want to say what the radio shows are saying, 266 00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:29,160 Speaker 1: but typically there radio shows have been on the back pages. 267 00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:31,960 Speaker 1: Even listen to those shows, what do they say, Yeah, 268 00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:35,200 Speaker 1: it wasn't Francessa on the back page, it was Todd Bowles. 269 00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:37,960 Speaker 1: And hey, again, we don't take any joy in this, 270 00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:40,480 Speaker 1: but when you have a player Maurice Claiborne, who's a 271 00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:42,920 Speaker 1: veteran who's been through the games, come out after the 272 00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:45,199 Speaker 1: game and say we didn't come to play today in 273 00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:48,720 Speaker 1: no way offense, defense or special teams. Like I said, 274 00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:50,439 Speaker 1: it's one of the first times I can honestly say 275 00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:53,640 Speaker 1: that someone came in and whooped us. We kind of 276 00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:58,079 Speaker 1: laid down. It's stressful. We kind of laid down. If 277 00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:00,360 Speaker 1: Todd Bowles can't get his players to get motive for 278 00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:02,800 Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills at home where there's a full house 279 00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:05,240 Speaker 1: of fans who are paying to see their team, it 280 00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:08,120 Speaker 1: might be time to move on. And again, no emotion 281 00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:12,120 Speaker 1: from no coach, no emotion from the players, an absolute 282 00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:15,640 Speaker 1: butt whipping from Matt Barkley. Brady comes in, light you up, 283 00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:18,920 Speaker 1: it happens, Ramps come in, Saints come in. Matt Barkley 284 00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:21,320 Speaker 1: to Dion Dawkins was the death knell for this. And 285 00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:23,640 Speaker 1: you look at the whole The whole future is about Donald, right, 286 00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:25,880 Speaker 1: the whole future is gonna be Donald. Baker Mayfield is 287 00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:27,760 Speaker 1: gonna get him a nice little offensive coach. As we're 288 00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:30,319 Speaker 1: walking watching Deon Dawkins, who somehow with that name is 289 00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:32,600 Speaker 1: not a defensive back, but that's an interest issue. Baker 290 00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:34,880 Speaker 1: Mayfield is gonna get a great offensive guru as a 291 00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:37,720 Speaker 1: head coach. Mister Trubisky's got the most incredible head coach 292 00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:40,640 Speaker 1: to nurture him. You gotta get Donald someone who's a 293 00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:42,920 Speaker 1: whiz kid on offense. Todd Bowles is a great football man, 294 00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:44,120 Speaker 1: but I don't know if he's the guy for Donald. 295 00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:46,000 Speaker 1: I think they'll get somebody perfect for him. I was 296 00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:48,400 Speaker 1: looking at the game yesterday and I'm sitting at the 297 00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:51,960 Speaker 1: NFL today in the group of Jets fans that are there. 298 00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:55,240 Speaker 1: They are heating up that seat for Tod Bowles, and 299 00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:56,800 Speaker 1: it's unfortunate. They want to see something. They want to 300 00:12:56,800 --> 00:12:58,840 Speaker 1: see emotion they want not going to happen from him. No, 301 00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:01,080 Speaker 1: I think they want to see him going. And I'm 302 00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:03,120 Speaker 1: not going to speak on anybody losing their job, but 303 00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:05,440 Speaker 1: it's going to be tough for him to convince people 304 00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:07,240 Speaker 1: that he's the right guy for the job moving forward. 305 00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:10,600 Speaker 1: Do we think if the worst case scenario for the 306 00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:13,400 Speaker 1: Patriots were to happen and they reach the Super Bowl 307 00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:15,520 Speaker 1: without home field advantage. I guess that's not the worst 308 00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:18,040 Speaker 1: case for them obviously, but couldn't they make it back? Guys, 309 00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:21,000 Speaker 1: if they don't play at home. I'm gonna say resounding yes. 310 00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:22,760 Speaker 1: Not only did I take a blood oath on October 311 00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:24,240 Speaker 1: one of this year, it's to never give up on them, 312 00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:26,280 Speaker 1: which I will stick to. You know, it comes to mind. 313 00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:27,880 Speaker 1: I remember them losing in Denver. We talked about that 314 00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:29,839 Speaker 1: game all the time a couple of years ago. Denver 315 00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:33,240 Speaker 1: is Denver. It's a brutal, brutal home field you ever 316 00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:36,280 Speaker 1: go there. I'm looking at this graphic. I'm not afraid 317 00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:39,000 Speaker 1: of Pittsburgh gonna beat some every single time. Objectively, they 318 00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:41,959 Speaker 1: own them change that and then Kansas City, like it's 319 00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:45,320 Speaker 1: a great atmosphere, it's really loud. They lose every single 320 00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:47,480 Speaker 1: year at home in the playoffs. Just facts, and you're 321 00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:49,240 Speaker 1: gonna say, well, they've never done it with the Homes. 322 00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:51,280 Speaker 1: They've done it with Reid, they did it last year, 323 00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:53,800 Speaker 1: they did it the year before. But it's super loud 324 00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:55,240 Speaker 1: and they had a great barbecue and all that. But 325 00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:58,120 Speaker 1: I'm not terrified of going into Arrowhead unless it's the seventies. 326 00:13:58,200 --> 00:13:59,880 Speaker 1: It's just I'm not so I'm gonna say a big yes, 327 00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:02,439 Speaker 1: Newland am I need to see what we get at 328 00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:06,319 Speaker 1: a Gronk and Edelman that version of the Patriots, yes, say, 329 00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:08,719 Speaker 1: with Josh Gordon going now with his finger injury and 330 00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:11,079 Speaker 1: we're relying on guys and they don't throw to Chris 331 00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:12,800 Speaker 1: Hogan at all. Like that was not a good version 332 00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:15,280 Speaker 1: of the Patriots. That version there is getting blown out 333 00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:16,840 Speaker 1: by the Chiefs and the Steelers are gonna run all 334 00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:18,680 Speaker 1: over them. So they have the buy A lot of 335 00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:20,760 Speaker 1: times used to buy to get right to figure it out. 336 00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:22,440 Speaker 1: It's a good time in the season. I'm sure they 337 00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:24,240 Speaker 1: would have rather come in off a win after beating 338 00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:27,080 Speaker 1: the Packers and then coming into this. But I don't know. 339 00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:29,080 Speaker 1: I don't know if that version of the Patriots stands 340 00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:31,000 Speaker 1: a chance against the Chiefs in Kansas City this year. 341 00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:33,200 Speaker 1: And yes, they do have Mahomes, Like that's a different 342 00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:36,360 Speaker 1: team beat Kansas Cities a two weeks ago because they did. 343 00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:38,000 Speaker 1: They did. They scored a bunch of points with a 344 00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:40,760 Speaker 1: healthy bunch of players. Gronk has the big play, and 345 00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:42,800 Speaker 1: Sony Michelle makes the big play, and Edelman's all over 346 00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:46,280 Speaker 1: the plays like Patrick Mahomes makes the Chiefs a much 347 00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:47,800 Speaker 1: better team than they were a year ago. So I 348 00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:50,640 Speaker 1: can't let the Chiefs ghosts of their past haunt them 349 00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:52,440 Speaker 1: this year if they were played right now in Arrowhead 350 00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:55,280 Speaker 1: in a playoff game taking Kansas City. And that's not 351 00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:57,960 Speaker 1: even with Pittsburgh in the conversation, who also looks amazing. 352 00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:00,360 Speaker 1: Patriots can look like what they have three brutal losses, 353 00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:01,920 Speaker 1: it's as many as they had all of last season. 354 00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:04,600 Speaker 1: But Nate, the competition, like you're saying, has risen in 355 00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:07,120 Speaker 1: the AFC, Like that's the difference. If you're like you're in, 356 00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:09,360 Speaker 1: you're out. It's oh, the path of least resistance. The 357 00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:11,240 Speaker 1: Patriots are going to be there but the Chargers have 358 00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:13,120 Speaker 1: a better rucker, the Chiefs have a better record. The 359 00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:15,440 Speaker 1: Texans are within like half a game of being right 360 00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:18,920 Speaker 1: there with them. The competition of the a FCS is fer. Yes, 361 00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:21,640 Speaker 1: their competition has risen and it has improved. But I 362 00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:23,240 Speaker 1: feel like this is like three hundred and I'm like, 363 00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:26,640 Speaker 1: choose your next words carefully, something right. Thanks, you are 364 00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:32,800 Speaker 1: very carefully. Question maybe you're last as king. Really, I'm 365 00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:35,000 Speaker 1: with you, Kyle, You're enriched one. You have this on 366 00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:39,560 Speaker 1: their show today. The competition has risen. But until somebody 367 00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:41,680 Speaker 1: knocks the Patriots off the top of the mountain of 368 00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:44,360 Speaker 1: the AFC, I'm not going to give anybody else credit. 369 00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:46,680 Speaker 1: I don't care how good their season is going, even 370 00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:50,680 Speaker 1: after yesterday, until their until their bags are packed. They 371 00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:52,680 Speaker 1: can get their butts kicked, but until their bags are packed, 372 00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:54,880 Speaker 1: because I was right there with you in October. On 373 00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:57,360 Speaker 1: the road, they're gonna have to They're gonna have to 374 00:15:57,360 --> 00:15:59,760 Speaker 1: pack their backs win two games on the road. Potentially, 375 00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:01,680 Speaker 1: if the playoffs start to get tomorrow, they'd be a 376 00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:03,480 Speaker 1: wild card, two teams on the road to get to 377 00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:05,200 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. Can they do that? The playoffs don't 378 00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:08,320 Speaker 1: start tomorrow, the payoffs starting in January, and Patriots are 379 00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:10,240 Speaker 1: one of the best teams in January. And I was 380 00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:12,000 Speaker 1: right there which in October when we took that blood 381 00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:14,560 Speaker 1: off like the first movie A hangover, sitting on that rooftop, 382 00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:16,600 Speaker 1: and I said, I will never bet against the Patriots again. 383 00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:19,760 Speaker 1: And what I do appreciate about the Patriots, it's just 384 00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:22,560 Speaker 1: like us nowadays with our cell phones. We all lean 385 00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:25,720 Speaker 1: on autocorrect and we sit there and we'll type in whatever, 386 00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:28,320 Speaker 1: hoping that our phone fixes it for us. The Patriots 387 00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:31,080 Speaker 1: are the best at having self correct. They correct them 388 00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:34,720 Speaker 1: both their tackles got introduced today. Josh Gordon was injured 389 00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:36,800 Speaker 1: and there's no gronk and there's no elements. So why 390 00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:39,160 Speaker 1: everything we've said about the Patriots before? You know that 391 00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:40,640 Speaker 1: the best and next man up, that the best of 392 00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:42,600 Speaker 1: self correct and the best of fifty things in November, 393 00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:44,800 Speaker 1: December and January there one of the best teams. I'm 394 00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:47,040 Speaker 1: not going to abandon my thoughts now until they prove 395 00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:49,760 Speaker 1: me otherwise. You know, I can care less about who's 396 00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:52,160 Speaker 1: on who's on that field. As long as they got 397 00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:54,720 Speaker 1: Bill Belchet coaching and Tom Brady points quarterback, they will 398 00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:56,040 Speaker 1: always be in it. That's why I chose to talk 399 00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:58,360 Speaker 1: about the other teams, because the depths in this conference 400 00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:01,280 Speaker 1: is amazing. I know that today we're going to leave 401 00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:03,160 Speaker 1: here and be going through Twitter and there's going to 402 00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:06,760 Speaker 1: be tweets about, There'll be articles we'retten about is it Brady? 403 00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:09,600 Speaker 1: Is it Brady? Is Brady the issue he's getting pulled 404 00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:11,680 Speaker 1: for Brian hoy or is that something that you we're 405 00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:13,760 Speaker 1: going to discuss here At the time, they're just wrestling. 406 00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:17,399 Speaker 1: There's nothing to that, right, got beat up? Yeah? I 407 00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:20,679 Speaker 1: think they'll bounce back because Patriots, That's why. And Chris Hogan, 408 00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:22,600 Speaker 1: maybe you should, maybe you should step up a little 409 00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:24,200 Speaker 1: bit here. Guys on the game. You're a guy who's 410 00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:26,520 Speaker 1: been there before. You're not some new acquisition. They don't 411 00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:28,679 Speaker 1: throw to Hogan, you know, open on fourth down. They 412 00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:30,880 Speaker 1: didn't throw to him on that one. Some of these 413 00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:33,080 Speaker 1: guys need to step up when things really hit the skids, 414 00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:35,000 Speaker 1: and no one did yesterday, not a single player on 415 00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:37,240 Speaker 1: that Patriots elevated their game when they needed the most. Hell, 416 00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:39,880 Speaker 1: hath no fury like a Bill Belichick off a bye week, 417 00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:44,320 Speaker 1: So see how that goes? How enticing is it? Guys? 418 00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:47,119 Speaker 1: For the next up and coming coach, the guy on 419 00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:49,760 Speaker 1: Schrager's ones to watch to sort of look at the 420 00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:52,200 Speaker 1: Browns a little bit differently now, maybe not in a 421 00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:53,440 Speaker 1: I don't know if I want to go there. It 422 00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:56,320 Speaker 1: seems a little messy. They're losing a lot to what 423 00:17:56,480 --> 00:17:58,520 Speaker 1: it is now with Baker Mayfield and Companies. Is the 424 00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:00,520 Speaker 1: number one job for me, and I think the Jess 425 00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:02,399 Speaker 1: job might come up, the Tampa job might come up. 426 00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:05,480 Speaker 1: You have a franchise quarterback who looks the part and 427 00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:09,399 Speaker 1: obviously walks the walk as well, and then you've got 428 00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:11,719 Speaker 1: all these other pieces, like Chum's a first round talent 429 00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:13,119 Speaker 1: who's up to the second round and he's gonna be 430 00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:15,240 Speaker 1: a second year guy. Then on defense, you've got Miles Garrett, 431 00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:16,879 Speaker 1: a first overall pick. I can go through the roster 432 00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:19,480 Speaker 1: for the Browns. But finally, even though they don't have 433 00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:21,639 Speaker 1: the head coach sorted out and Greg Williams done a 434 00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:24,960 Speaker 1: good job, there is stability at the quarterback position, something 435 00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:29,120 Speaker 1: they have not had since they moved back to Cleveland, honestly, 436 00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:31,440 Speaker 1: and that includes the Tim Couches and the Derek Anderson's 437 00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:34,680 Speaker 1: and everybody. This is a team that has budding superstars, 438 00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:36,800 Speaker 1: and it's there both on offense and defense. I think 439 00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:39,399 Speaker 1: this is the most attractive job this offseason, and that 440 00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:42,199 Speaker 1: market is so hungry for a winner that you can 441 00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:44,600 Speaker 1: pair with a John Dorsey and an Elliot Wolf and 442 00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:47,560 Speaker 1: Alonso Heisman, all those guys and say all of it 443 00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:49,480 Speaker 1: is there on paper, it just needs to happen on 444 00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:52,120 Speaker 1: the field. I think the right coach could be the guy. Yeah, 445 00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:54,400 Speaker 1: I'm looking at this team, and for the first time 446 00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:56,919 Speaker 1: in a long time, I think coaches are coming in 447 00:18:56,960 --> 00:19:00,679 Speaker 1: not looking at this as excuse a lack of better words, 448 00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:03,639 Speaker 1: career suicide, because you would go to Cleveland and you 449 00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:05,040 Speaker 1: would think this is going to be the end of 450 00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:07,400 Speaker 1: my career. I'm not gonna be a head coach again. 451 00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:09,440 Speaker 1: You put yourself in a position where if you're not successful, 452 00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:11,040 Speaker 1: then you're going to be an O coordinator and you're 453 00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:12,720 Speaker 1: gonna have to take a step back in your career. 454 00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:15,560 Speaker 1: It's kind of like what Baker Mayfield said, you know, 455 00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:17,680 Speaker 1: I woke up from the pretty dangerous Most coacheres would 456 00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:19,919 Speaker 1: think this is a pretty dangerous job because the Cleveland 457 00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:21,919 Speaker 1: Browns they didn't have the talent for so long, and 458 00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:24,000 Speaker 1: of course they have the budding superstars. And you know 459 00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:26,200 Speaker 1: it's tough to credit coaches that have been fired, but 460 00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:29,240 Speaker 1: you know, to Hugh's credit, they brought in some talented 461 00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:31,240 Speaker 1: guys over the last couple of years and these are 462 00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:33,680 Speaker 1: the staples of the organization before these guys are locked 463 00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:35,680 Speaker 1: in on young contracts. And what do we talk about 464 00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:37,840 Speaker 1: all this time? And you did this last year on 465 00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:40,320 Speaker 1: the show when talking about young quarterbacks now making a 466 00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:42,600 Speaker 1: ton of money and building around that. Now you got 467 00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:45,320 Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield on a rookie deal, You have the running 468 00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:48,119 Speaker 1: back wide receivers taking care of. You got d n 469 00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:51,679 Speaker 1: cornerback play. You have the young talented wide receivers to 470 00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:56,080 Speaker 1: compliment Jervis Landry. This is everything that a new coach wants. 471 00:19:56,080 --> 00:19:57,400 Speaker 1: And I feel like this is one of the best 472 00:19:57,480 --> 00:19:59,160 Speaker 1: jobs in this office. Should they can buy some time, 473 00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:01,200 Speaker 1: I don't know how much longer Big Ben's gonna play 474 00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:03,600 Speaker 1: Flacco and Company Like now you have you are a 475 00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:06,600 Speaker 1: step ahead of those organizations that have killed you. For 476 00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:09,640 Speaker 1: the paste boxes, the quarterback, the pass rusher are huge. 477 00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:11,520 Speaker 1: And then a division rothles Ring night be around forever. 478 00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:13,479 Speaker 1: The Ravens might be on the bottom reboot, and then 479 00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:16,679 Speaker 1: also guys expectations. You know, you look at what happens 480 00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:19,200 Speaker 1: with Mike Vrabel. He had a huge expectations this year, 481 00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:21,720 Speaker 1: replacing winning coach. What what's happening with Matt Patricia got 482 00:20:21,840 --> 00:20:23,560 Speaker 1: to replace a winning coach. You come in there in 483 00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:26,359 Speaker 1: Cleveland and you scratch a wild card somehow, you're a 484 00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:29,160 Speaker 1: king of the city. Expectations are great for you. It's 485 00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:32,080 Speaker 1: an awesome gig right now, cowboys are not can't go ahead, 486 00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:34,960 Speaker 1: Greg Williams, though, he's gonna be in there. This this 487 00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:37,320 Speaker 1: hat is going to be in this conversation. Keeps winning, 488 00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:39,600 Speaker 1: especially if they keep winning. Fond you see the way 489 00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:41,640 Speaker 1: these guys are rallying around. Of course, I didn't necessarily 490 00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:43,439 Speaker 1: necessarily see that the past year would go a young 491 00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:45,920 Speaker 1: offensive guy. We gotta get Baker, right, Let's talk about 492 00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:49,119 Speaker 1: the rest of the NFC. Which team I feel like 493 00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:51,440 Speaker 1: we know the rooms on the Saints, they're at the top. 494 00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:54,880 Speaker 1: Is there a team or which team is the biggest 495 00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:57,879 Speaker 1: threat to those two? Okay, go ahead, Peter, I'm gonna 496 00:20:58,000 --> 00:20:59,760 Speaker 1: I'm gonna lay it out here because I feel like 497 00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:02,679 Speaker 1: these two are like the Mario and Luigi and the 498 00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:07,199 Speaker 1: rest of the supporting characters, the Yoshi Yoshi there why 499 00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:12,000 Speaker 1: Thursday night was horrible for the Panthers. They got embarrassed 500 00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:14,240 Speaker 1: on national TV in their first primetime game. So most 501 00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:15,680 Speaker 1: of the country is like, all right, I saw enough 502 00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:17,720 Speaker 1: on out, no more hyper done. Let me give you 503 00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:21,040 Speaker 1: their schedule coming up the Carolina Panthers. They played Detroit 504 00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:23,000 Speaker 1: that should be a win. They played Seattle at home 505 00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:24,960 Speaker 1: that should be a win. They played the Buccaneers that 506 00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:26,960 Speaker 1: should be a win. They played the Browns that should 507 00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:29,119 Speaker 1: be a win, and then they finished the season with 508 00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:32,440 Speaker 1: Saints Falcon Saints. We're gonna know if the Panthers are 509 00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:35,560 Speaker 1: that team by Week fifteen, and then we'll really know 510 00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:37,480 Speaker 1: by the end of the regular season after those last 511 00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:39,880 Speaker 1: three games. But there is no reason the Panthers shouldn't 512 00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:43,560 Speaker 1: rattle off four straight wins with Lions, Seahawks, Buccaneers, and 513 00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:46,240 Speaker 1: Browns coming up. And if that's the case, they should 514 00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:47,880 Speaker 1: be coming with a full head of steam for those 515 00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:50,600 Speaker 1: final three divisional matchups. I'm going to say the Carolina 516 00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:53,280 Speaker 1: Panthers are forgotten because we're not going to talk about 517 00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:54,520 Speaker 1: them for the next couple of months. I have a 518 00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:56,120 Speaker 1: feeling for the next five weeks they're out of sight, 519 00:21:56,160 --> 00:21:58,400 Speaker 1: out of mind. They lost their primetime shot, and they 520 00:21:58,400 --> 00:21:59,919 Speaker 1: were blown out in a game that we hyped them 521 00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:01,680 Speaker 1: up for and they ain't gonna be on primetime and 522 00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:04,560 Speaker 1: any of these ones. But I'm gonna say that the Panthers, 523 00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:06,600 Speaker 1: they could get a little steam, could a little moment. 524 00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:08,680 Speaker 1: Maybe that was the best thing that could have happened 525 00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:11,320 Speaker 1: to them. Get the doors blown off, you be humbled, 526 00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:15,760 Speaker 1: check your egos. You're with cams. I'm saying the Panthers 527 00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:17,440 Speaker 1: can use that. They can use that to motivate, and 528 00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:19,159 Speaker 1: they've got wins on the schedule left. A lot of 529 00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:21,880 Speaker 1: these teams have brutal schedules. Panthers don't go win those 530 00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:24,359 Speaker 1: four games and come in strong for the Saints. They 531 00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:26,000 Speaker 1: have to face the scenes twice at the end of 532 00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:28,840 Speaker 1: the season, a team that beat them three times last year. 533 00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:31,119 Speaker 1: I see Christian McCaffrey as the toad, you know, the 534 00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:34,600 Speaker 1: little guy take small fast Yahoo. But you know, when 535 00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:36,760 Speaker 1: I play Mario Kart, I'm not making a joke. I 536 00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:39,960 Speaker 1: like Warrio. I like being the big bad guy and 537 00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:41,919 Speaker 1: the Warrio in the NFC R And I'm gonna take 538 00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:43,720 Speaker 1: a shot at this. We saw something yesterday. We haven't 539 00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:45,840 Speaker 1: seen it in about six months, and that was Khalil 540 00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:49,200 Speaker 1: Macket his full powers. Khalil mac did terrible, terrible things 541 00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:52,480 Speaker 1: to the lines at Soldier Field yesterday. So the Bears 542 00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:54,879 Speaker 1: are not the Rams, are not the Saints. I'm looking forward. 543 00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:57,239 Speaker 1: I'm taking a shot. I think if you got them 544 00:22:57,280 --> 00:22:59,440 Speaker 1: in a playoff game and you had one of those 545 00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:01,840 Speaker 1: signature defensive performance has been a pass. I think that's 546 00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:03,200 Speaker 1: the only way you're gonna beat these We've seen it 547 00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:04,960 Speaker 1: from Von Miller and Big games, right we saw it. 548 00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:06,880 Speaker 1: We've seen it from Cam Jordan in big Games. We've 549 00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:09,800 Speaker 1: seen pass rushers who can take over the game. And 550 00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:12,159 Speaker 1: I just think, unless you hit breeze, unless you hit 551 00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:14,360 Speaker 1: golf like, they're gonna hit you and knock you out. 552 00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:17,439 Speaker 1: Khalil Mack rested for weeks, and they risk that they 553 00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:19,400 Speaker 1: could have played. They said, I think he's our best player. 554 00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:20,760 Speaker 1: We're gonna take a shot. We're gonna beat the Bills, 555 00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:22,520 Speaker 1: We're gonna beat the Jets. And then they unleashed him 556 00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:24,199 Speaker 1: yesterday and it looked like the same one we saw 557 00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:26,840 Speaker 1: a week one, week two. Should the Bears continue to 558 00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:30,720 Speaker 1: develop and Trubisky develops, a big time Khalil matt game 559 00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:32,760 Speaker 1: is the kind of game that could knock off a 560 00:23:32,760 --> 00:23:34,760 Speaker 1: breeze or a golf That's what it's gonna take. I 561 00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:36,400 Speaker 1: don't think any man offense can do it. I don't 562 00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:38,560 Speaker 1: think there's a Rogers and a Brady who can beat 563 00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:40,080 Speaker 1: them offensively. I think Gift to beat them with the 564 00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:42,080 Speaker 1: defensive star and I think he's right now the best 565 00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:44,280 Speaker 1: in the league. I think the Vikings can do it. 566 00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:46,520 Speaker 1: The Vikings, yeah, I think they can. I think Kirk Cousins, 567 00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:48,960 Speaker 1: you're talking offense. He's having a better year statistically than 568 00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:52,120 Speaker 1: Tom Brady is right now, and he's an upgrade on 569 00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:53,879 Speaker 1: what they had last year. He's a guy that can 570 00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:56,200 Speaker 1: stretch the field. I have this weird feeling that they're 571 00:23:56,480 --> 00:23:59,439 Speaker 1: everything's happening at the right time right They were not 572 00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:02,200 Speaker 1: great on defense to start, then they got Everson Griffin back. 573 00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:05,440 Speaker 1: They're doing celebrations after big plays. They're starting to look 574 00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:08,800 Speaker 1: like they did last year off defensively right now, and 575 00:24:08,840 --> 00:24:10,600 Speaker 1: they are the number one defense, by the way over 576 00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:13,200 Speaker 1: the last four weeks. And I feel like Davin Cook's back. 577 00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:15,399 Speaker 1: Stefan Diggs was dealing with a bit of an injury. 578 00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:18,320 Speaker 1: The bye week came, I feel like right at the 579 00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:22,320 Speaker 1: best time, and I just feel like in the NFC North, 580 00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:24,360 Speaker 1: they're still going to sort of run the show to'll 581 00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:26,040 Speaker 1: be a huge game against the Bears in the weekend. 582 00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:27,879 Speaker 1: Guess what, They beat the Saints last year in a 583 00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:29,440 Speaker 1: playoff game, so they're not scared of them there, and 584 00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:31,399 Speaker 1: they beat the Rams in a regular season game last year. 585 00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:32,880 Speaker 1: They're not scared of them there. It was one four 586 00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:34,480 Speaker 1: or five. Sorry the Ras beat the last year, but 587 00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:36,600 Speaker 1: day and how they gave Saints in that playoff game. 588 00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:39,439 Speaker 1: The world deserves the Saints Vikings playoff redens, right, I mean, 589 00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:44,159 Speaker 1: that'd be incredible. Which teams an NFC pose the biggest 590 00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:47,680 Speaker 1: threat to the Rams Saints? After thinking about it, nobody 591 00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:49,760 Speaker 1: just think about these offenses and now it's hard to 592 00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:52,399 Speaker 1: they are. It's hard to find one. And here's the thing, 593 00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:54,720 Speaker 1: since we're talking Mario Kart. When you battle with Mario Kart, 594 00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:57,359 Speaker 1: what are you trying to do? You're trying to burst 595 00:24:56,960 --> 00:25:00,520 Speaker 1: the Bore's three balloons on these The only thing that's 596 00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:02,840 Speaker 1: going to happen if balloons burst within these teams, and 597 00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:05,479 Speaker 1: that's injuries. And I know injuries are inevitable. But if 598 00:25:05,520 --> 00:25:07,080 Speaker 1: you get healthy at the end of the year and 599 00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:09,480 Speaker 1: you can maintain that, I feel like nobody's gonna stop 600 00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:11,320 Speaker 1: these guys and they will meet up at the end 601 00:25:11,359 --> 00:25:14,480 Speaker 1: and the championship game. You gotta give credit to the 602 00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:18,280 Speaker 1: team that's the biggest bully, and that's the Saints right now. 603 00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:21,120 Speaker 1: They proved to be the better team when they played. 604 00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:24,160 Speaker 1: And not only that, they're playing almost like collegiate football 605 00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:26,399 Speaker 1: right now, where they're running up to score on teams 606 00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:28,800 Speaker 1: for their own personal confidence but also to send a 607 00:25:28,840 --> 00:25:32,000 Speaker 1: message to everybody else. But right now, Rams and Saints 608 00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:33,960 Speaker 1: to the best offenses in the business. Those guys will 609 00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:36,680 Speaker 1: be in the playoffs. And Vikings did beat the Rams 610 00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:38,800 Speaker 1: in the regular season last year, so they have that 611 00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:40,919 Speaker 1: little But then again, the Rams beat them this year, 612 00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:44,000 Speaker 1: which is probably more important. All great takeaways, But the 613 00:25:44,080 --> 00:25:46,959 Speaker 1: Browns job is intriguing with John Dorsey and all that 614 00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:51,080 Speaker 1: young talent there. Bruce Arians in fact, has already expressed interest, 615 00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:53,840 Speaker 1: so we'll see what happens. Well, We're always here to 616 00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:57,000 Speaker 1: learn new things each week. In Week ten was no different. 617 00:25:57,160 --> 00:25:59,359 Speaker 1: Here's what the Breakfast Table learned from the action in 618 00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:02,760 Speaker 1: week ten. Would you learn from week ten. We have 619 00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:05,520 Speaker 1: lost the great stan Lee at ninety five years old. 620 00:26:05,560 --> 00:26:07,199 Speaker 1: If you're not familiar with Stanley, even if you are, 621 00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:10,320 Speaker 1: Stanley was really the Steve Jobs of superheroes. He was 622 00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:13,360 Speaker 1: a little Thomas Edison, even a little Vince Lombardi. If 623 00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:16,080 Speaker 1: you were a kid, adult, whatever, whoever, the superhero was 624 00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:19,360 Speaker 1: on your lunchbox or your bedsheets, your trapper keeper. Stanley 625 00:26:19,560 --> 00:26:23,360 Speaker 1: probably thought of that superhero. We're talking spider Man, Iron Man, 626 00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:26,440 Speaker 1: Incredible Hall, Black, Panther or Fantastic Four, GUARDI into the Galaxy, 627 00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:29,040 Speaker 1: the X Men, thor he thought of them, he drew them. 628 00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:30,920 Speaker 1: It's an incredible thing he came up with, and he's 629 00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:33,320 Speaker 1: had such an impact on so many people. Here's the 630 00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:36,280 Speaker 1: Daily News with his catchphrase, Excelsior at the bottom and 631 00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:39,280 Speaker 1: if you flip it, it's perfect. The Giants win the Avenger, 632 00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:41,600 Speaker 1: which is also on him, so he's got both sides 633 00:26:41,640 --> 00:26:44,480 Speaker 1: of it. Stanley in the comic books in nineteen fifties 634 00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:48,120 Speaker 1: were dominated by DC Superman, and it was Wonder Woman 635 00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:50,760 Speaker 1: and Batman, and he came in and said, I wonder 636 00:26:50,800 --> 00:26:52,480 Speaker 1: just don't be different. I wanted to be more dynamic, 637 00:26:52,520 --> 00:26:55,280 Speaker 1: more flesh and blood more relatable, and he created all 638 00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:57,720 Speaker 1: these characters were much more down to earth and it 639 00:26:57,760 --> 00:27:00,840 Speaker 1: had such an impact on so many, especially NFL players. 640 00:27:01,200 --> 00:27:03,520 Speaker 1: How many players have we seen who channel their whole 641 00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:06,840 Speaker 1: identity after superheroes. Those people came from Stanley. And when 642 00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:09,120 Speaker 1: he passed, there's Levian who's got a lot going on, 643 00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:11,600 Speaker 1: who took some time to said rip. Stan Lee a 644 00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:14,360 Speaker 1: real legend, and some of these were really effusive, meant 645 00:27:14,359 --> 00:27:16,360 Speaker 1: a lot to a lot of people. Russell Khne sat 646 00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:17,960 Speaker 1: next to stand on a flight one time, such a 647 00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:20,399 Speaker 1: great man with incredible presence. I was surprisingly too nervous 648 00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:23,159 Speaker 1: introduced myself at first, but glad I did. Definitely a 649 00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:25,960 Speaker 1: pioneer at one of the most world's most creative minds. 650 00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:28,280 Speaker 1: These are guys in the heart of their career. Next, 651 00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:30,440 Speaker 1: what else do we have? We also had Brian Dawkins. 652 00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:34,120 Speaker 1: Now Dawkins is the standard. Dawkins is a Hall of Famer, 653 00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:37,320 Speaker 1: probably in part because of stan Lee. You got various 654 00:27:37,320 --> 00:27:39,639 Speaker 1: Emil Dawkins talks, and mister Stanley never the honor of 655 00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:42,120 Speaker 1: pleasure of meeting you, Yet I've known you my entire life. 656 00:27:42,119 --> 00:27:44,399 Speaker 1: Thank you for blessing me and all the other sci 657 00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:47,480 Speaker 1: fi geeks with your beautiful mind, showing us what else 658 00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:49,399 Speaker 1: there is out there for us to tap into and 659 00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:53,439 Speaker 1: escape to. Dawkins was Wolverine. He was Weapon X. This 660 00:27:53,520 --> 00:27:55,520 Speaker 1: is the guy who ended in Canton, Ohio because he 661 00:27:55,520 --> 00:27:58,080 Speaker 1: would channel the creative mind of stan Lee on the 662 00:27:58,200 --> 00:28:01,320 Speaker 1: field and flip the switch. It's not just Dawkins either. 663 00:28:01,359 --> 00:28:03,960 Speaker 1: There's some great ones, some guys Hall of famers, some 664 00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:07,879 Speaker 1: guys you barely remember. Peyton hillis had a run with Cleveland, 665 00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:11,440 Speaker 1: and Cleveland fans named him the Juggernaut who could run 666 00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:13,840 Speaker 1: through any substances. There it is right there. There were 667 00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:17,520 Speaker 1: Juggernaut t shirts, there was Internet threads. Everything about Peyton 668 00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:20,320 Speaker 1: hillis a Stanlee character. Right here in the show we 669 00:28:20,359 --> 00:28:24,040 Speaker 1: advanced McDonald right. I called him Vanos, another Avengers thing. 670 00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:25,800 Speaker 1: But if you look in the background of the Angry 671 00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:28,480 Speaker 1: Runs trophy, he has a thor hammer right there that 672 00:28:28,560 --> 00:28:31,600 Speaker 1: his wife had commissioned for him from an actual steel 673 00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:36,080 Speaker 1: worker to make a stan Lee creation. And lastly, another 674 00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:38,920 Speaker 1: fantastic player might need to remember this. Andrea Risen, we 675 00:28:38,920 --> 00:28:40,640 Speaker 1: talked about all the time. Do you know Andre Risen 676 00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:43,200 Speaker 1: became Spider Man at the end of this Gase Webb slinging. 677 00:28:43,320 --> 00:28:45,800 Speaker 1: Right there, he decided, at the end of his career, 678 00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:50,200 Speaker 1: I'm going to start slinging Webbs. All came Stanlee, who 679 00:28:50,280 --> 00:28:53,040 Speaker 1: has impacted not only this world but this game so much, 680 00:28:53,200 --> 00:28:55,320 Speaker 1: and I went with a quote that I find very relatable, 681 00:28:55,320 --> 00:28:56,760 Speaker 1: and I think maybe the four of us might too. 682 00:28:56,800 --> 00:28:59,280 Speaker 1: Give them what we do every day, Stanley said, I 683 00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:01,360 Speaker 1: used to be because I was just a comic book 684 00:29:01,360 --> 00:29:03,600 Speaker 1: writer while other people were building bridges or going on 685 00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:06,560 Speaker 1: to medical careers. Then I began to realize that entertainment 686 00:29:06,640 --> 00:29:08,760 Speaker 1: is one of the most important things in people's lives. 687 00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:10,840 Speaker 1: Without it, they might go off the deep end. I 688 00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:13,240 Speaker 1: feel that if you're able to entertain people, you're doing 689 00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:17,120 Speaker 1: a good thing. Stanley, incredible life. Entertain the world, made 690 00:29:17,160 --> 00:29:19,600 Speaker 1: the NFL part of what it is today, which just 691 00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:24,880 Speaker 1: drawing a few cartoon characters. Really incredible life, Stanley, Stanley, 692 00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:29,600 Speaker 1: well done. You guys don't know the name Ezra Castro. 693 00:29:29,880 --> 00:29:31,680 Speaker 1: It's not a name that people know. He's not on 694 00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:33,880 Speaker 1: your fancy football team. But you do know Matt Barkley, 695 00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:35,680 Speaker 1: you do know the Shan McCoy, and you do know 696 00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:38,120 Speaker 1: that the Buffalo Bills came out of nowhere where the 697 00:29:38,200 --> 00:29:40,600 Speaker 1: quarterback who had been the team for eleven days and 698 00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:42,680 Speaker 1: beat the New York Jets in their building forty one 699 00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:46,520 Speaker 1: to ten. What you don't know is about Ezra Castro's 700 00:29:46,560 --> 00:29:49,240 Speaker 1: performance the night before. Guys, I'm gonna toss to the 701 00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:53,320 Speaker 1: speech that Ezra Castro gave to the Bills Saturday night 702 00:29:53,600 --> 00:29:57,280 Speaker 1: a fan of the team. I wanted to let you 703 00:29:57,360 --> 00:30:00,560 Speaker 1: all know that, would you guys go through through us? 704 00:30:00,640 --> 00:30:05,520 Speaker 1: Regular people go through what I'm going through Stage four metastatic. 705 00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:09,720 Speaker 1: I don't know carcinoma of the biliary pancreatic. It took 706 00:30:09,760 --> 00:30:13,200 Speaker 1: me a while to learn that my last scan didn't 707 00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:16,600 Speaker 1: look too good. Things got worse. The doctor wasn't too 708 00:30:16,640 --> 00:30:20,240 Speaker 1: promising about it. I know it's crazy. I seriously take 709 00:30:20,320 --> 00:30:22,960 Speaker 1: my mask and all the time to every treatment because 710 00:30:22,960 --> 00:30:25,440 Speaker 1: when I put the mask on, it just gives me 711 00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:28,320 Speaker 1: an extra boost of energy. I'm sure just as you 712 00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:30,520 Speaker 1: guys put on the helmet, it gives you an extra 713 00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:34,600 Speaker 1: boost of energy. So I can relate to you guys 714 00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:39,800 Speaker 1: in that aspect. Obviously, I'm getting poison pushed through me. 715 00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:44,200 Speaker 1: You guys are getting hit. It's the same thing the 716 00:30:44,360 --> 00:30:53,800 Speaker 1: fans everywhere. I get messages from Germany, guys, Chile, Argentina, Africa. 717 00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:57,280 Speaker 1: There's Bill's mafia everywhere. I get a messages from everywhere 718 00:30:57,600 --> 00:31:01,920 Speaker 1: pushing for me. That family they love you guys, just 719 00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:05,280 Speaker 1: like my family loves me, and they show up to 720 00:31:05,400 --> 00:31:08,560 Speaker 1: the next chemo treatment with me with that same positive attitude. 721 00:31:09,880 --> 00:31:14,000 Speaker 1: We show up every Sunday for you guys. Lastly, I 722 00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:15,720 Speaker 1: won't take much more of your time. I want to 723 00:31:17,080 --> 00:31:24,240 Speaker 1: unmask myself a bit because you guys ain't wearing your helmets. 724 00:31:24,960 --> 00:31:29,400 Speaker 1: There's my master's my helmet. I'm a regular guy, two kids. 725 00:31:29,680 --> 00:31:31,840 Speaker 1: I'm a mortician. That's what I do for a living, 726 00:31:31,960 --> 00:31:35,640 Speaker 1: been doing it for seventeen years. I'm thirty nine years old. 727 00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:40,240 Speaker 1: I'm just regular guy on the street and I'm just 728 00:31:40,280 --> 00:31:43,800 Speaker 1: a big Buffalo Bills fan. But when I put on 729 00:31:43,880 --> 00:31:46,440 Speaker 1: that mask, it's on, baby, I know it's on when 730 00:31:46,440 --> 00:31:48,719 Speaker 1: you guys put on that helmet. Can you say Puncho 731 00:31:48,760 --> 00:31:55,880 Speaker 1: Power one two three? Yeah? Baby. That was Saturday night 732 00:31:56,040 --> 00:31:58,320 Speaker 1: before the game, and his name is Zar Castro. You 733 00:31:58,360 --> 00:31:59,960 Speaker 1: guys know him as Puncho Billy. He did a day 734 00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:02,720 Speaker 1: to pick for the Bills this year. The team was 735 00:32:02,760 --> 00:32:06,360 Speaker 1: so motivated, so enthused, they went out and they blew 736 00:32:06,440 --> 00:32:08,760 Speaker 1: the doors off the New York Jets. The next day, 737 00:32:09,040 --> 00:32:12,000 Speaker 1: Zay Jones scores a touchdown and you'll see here this 738 00:32:12,040 --> 00:32:15,120 Speaker 1: is from Matt Barkley. Z Jones gets the catch, scores it, 739 00:32:15,560 --> 00:32:18,840 Speaker 1: and immediately what he does is he unravels a towel 740 00:32:18,960 --> 00:32:21,920 Speaker 1: and the talis is Poncho power. And this is for 741 00:32:22,280 --> 00:32:25,800 Speaker 1: Poncho Billa. This was his moment to give love to him. 742 00:32:25,840 --> 00:32:27,960 Speaker 1: After the game, they brought it all in in the 743 00:32:27,960 --> 00:32:32,840 Speaker 1: locker room, said Poncho, this is why we love the sport. 744 00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:35,880 Speaker 1: This is why we love the fans. This is what 745 00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:40,040 Speaker 1: football means to people across the country. Buffalo Bills won 746 00:32:40,160 --> 00:32:41,920 Speaker 1: forty one to ten, and Matt Barkley played great. And 747 00:32:41,920 --> 00:32:43,680 Speaker 1: we're not taking any credit away from the players or 748 00:32:43,680 --> 00:32:45,920 Speaker 1: the coaching staff. They brought it. But don't for a 749 00:32:46,040 --> 00:32:49,720 Speaker 1: second question the power of the fans and also vice versa, 750 00:32:49,800 --> 00:32:52,040 Speaker 1: what football can do for the fans. Shout out to 751 00:32:52,040 --> 00:32:54,800 Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills organization, and shout out to Ezra Castro, 752 00:32:54,920 --> 00:32:57,200 Speaker 1: a thirty nine year old father of two who is 753 00:32:57,240 --> 00:32:58,960 Speaker 1: just a normal guy in the street who loves the 754 00:32:58,960 --> 00:33:01,400 Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills and got to see his team win a 755 00:33:01,440 --> 00:33:04,720 Speaker 1: game on Sunday. What I learned this week is that 756 00:33:04,760 --> 00:33:07,160 Speaker 1: we don't need to worry about Andrew Luck in the 757 00:33:07,240 --> 00:33:11,520 Speaker 1: Colts offensive line any more. Skeptics skeptives has made us 758 00:33:11,520 --> 00:33:14,200 Speaker 1: believe that Andrew Luck is a fragile, bearded boy and 759 00:33:14,240 --> 00:33:18,080 Speaker 1: he can't stay healthy, he can't be protected. In the numbers, 760 00:33:18,920 --> 00:33:23,080 Speaker 1: the numbers, Luck to the most QB hits between two 761 00:33:23,120 --> 00:33:25,800 Speaker 1: thy twelve in two thousand and sixteen. As we all know, 762 00:33:25,920 --> 00:33:28,840 Speaker 1: Lucking this twenty six of a possible forty eight games 763 00:33:28,880 --> 00:33:32,000 Speaker 1: in the last three seasons. In the preseason, there was 764 00:33:32,040 --> 00:33:35,640 Speaker 1: an actual, actual research note sent out we got Despite 765 00:33:35,640 --> 00:33:38,040 Speaker 1: the Colts effort to protect Andrew Luck, he continues to 766 00:33:38,040 --> 00:33:40,320 Speaker 1: get hit at a very high rting forty three snaps 767 00:33:40,320 --> 00:33:43,800 Speaker 1: this preseason, Luck has taken three sacks and three QB hits. 768 00:33:43,800 --> 00:33:47,080 Speaker 1: When projecting that sacks per rates snap out for the 769 00:33:47,160 --> 00:33:51,240 Speaker 1: full sixteen weeks season, Luck would finish with seventy seven 770 00:33:51,360 --> 00:33:56,680 Speaker 1: snaps taken this season. Chill out on pay Sky just 771 00:33:58,720 --> 00:34:01,760 Speaker 1: eats it up. Mann. Do all right, listen, my friends, 772 00:34:01,800 --> 00:34:04,520 Speaker 1: I'm here to tell you that the stats are real, 773 00:34:04,560 --> 00:34:07,320 Speaker 1: but the stats are different. Here we are ten weeks 774 00:34:07,320 --> 00:34:10,640 Speaker 1: into the season, and the latest number speaks for themselves. 775 00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:13,960 Speaker 1: Luck has only been sacked ten times in the last 776 00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:18,000 Speaker 1: four games. He's been sacked zero times. Unheard of? Is 777 00:34:18,239 --> 00:34:20,759 Speaker 1: unheard of? That hasn't happened since two thousand and nine. 778 00:34:20,760 --> 00:34:22,520 Speaker 1: I was glad you said that. And to put that 779 00:34:22,560 --> 00:34:24,759 Speaker 1: in perspective in two thousand and nine when Avatar was 780 00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:27,680 Speaker 1: out in the theaters, Listen, you want to go even deeper. 781 00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:30,240 Speaker 1: How about the deep passes? Luk at it perfect passer 782 00:34:30,320 --> 00:34:33,360 Speaker 1: rating for passes over twenty yards up against the Jacks. 783 00:34:34,040 --> 00:34:36,640 Speaker 1: That's two hundred and thirty yards three TVs. Up against 784 00:34:36,680 --> 00:34:38,359 Speaker 1: one of the best defense that we're supposed to take 785 00:34:38,400 --> 00:34:42,319 Speaker 1: their team to the Super Bowl. And Luck outside the pocket, well, 786 00:34:42,320 --> 00:34:44,680 Speaker 1: he's starting to protect himself. And this is the most 787 00:34:44,719 --> 00:34:47,759 Speaker 1: important part of it. He's making better decisions. Here he 788 00:34:47,880 --> 00:34:51,080 Speaker 1: is back in two fifteen, trying to make something happen, 789 00:34:51,760 --> 00:34:54,399 Speaker 1: taking an unnecessary hit. So the last time we've seen 790 00:34:54,440 --> 00:34:57,120 Speaker 1: him on the field before he got back on the field. 791 00:34:57,960 --> 00:35:00,400 Speaker 1: And how about this season. Let's flash four to this 792 00:35:00,480 --> 00:35:05,200 Speaker 1: past week Andrew Luck making a decision stepping outside the pocket. 793 00:35:05,280 --> 00:35:08,919 Speaker 1: You remember all the luck You're gonna take that hit now? 794 00:35:08,960 --> 00:35:13,480 Speaker 1: He's working harder and he's working smarter. So for all 795 00:35:13,520 --> 00:35:16,640 Speaker 1: those they want to do the whole bubble boy mean 796 00:35:16,760 --> 00:35:20,080 Speaker 1: for and zow luck, those days are over. Man, the 797 00:35:20,200 --> 00:35:22,480 Speaker 1: Saint the same old team, and the Saint the same 798 00:35:22,560 --> 00:35:28,319 Speaker 1: old quarterback. Indie's offense is back baby rip to Stanley 799 00:35:28,480 --> 00:35:31,479 Speaker 1: Well put kb. He is the reason my son, in fact, 800 00:35:31,840 --> 00:35:35,080 Speaker 1: was Spider Man for Halloween. Well. The league is full 801 00:35:35,120 --> 00:35:38,200 Speaker 1: of personalities who don't usually get the love they deserve, 802 00:35:38,400 --> 00:35:41,319 Speaker 1: and that's where Good Morning Football comes in. Let's find 803 00:35:41,320 --> 00:35:43,719 Speaker 1: out the stories we should have been paying attention too 804 00:35:44,040 --> 00:35:48,360 Speaker 1: with this week's under appreciated storyline. So every week we 805 00:35:48,440 --> 00:35:50,760 Speaker 1: like to shine a bit of a spotlight on players 806 00:35:50,760 --> 00:35:53,880 Speaker 1: on storylines that aren't mainstream, that aren't getting all of 807 00:35:53,880 --> 00:35:56,080 Speaker 1: the love, all the trends on Twitter, all of that. 808 00:35:56,280 --> 00:35:58,960 Speaker 1: We call him underappreciated storylines. It's my favorite thing we 809 00:35:59,040 --> 00:36:01,799 Speaker 1: do every week. And Nate, you get to confirm. I 810 00:36:01,840 --> 00:36:03,560 Speaker 1: get to go first and start the sting off. All right, 811 00:36:03,640 --> 00:36:07,759 Speaker 1: So my underappreciated storyline is just how great of a 812 00:36:07,800 --> 00:36:11,160 Speaker 1: defensive genius Mike Zimmer really is. Now you might know 813 00:36:11,239 --> 00:36:13,359 Speaker 1: him as this sixty two year old head coach who 814 00:36:13,440 --> 00:36:16,319 Speaker 1: rocks his glasses with more swag than I do. But 815 00:36:16,360 --> 00:36:19,640 Speaker 1: his journey started decades ago, back when he was coaching 816 00:36:19,760 --> 00:36:22,960 Speaker 1: defensive backs like Hall of famers Dion Sanders, Darren Woodson. 817 00:36:23,040 --> 00:36:25,439 Speaker 1: Pretty sure you heard of him. That's fast forward though 818 00:36:25,520 --> 00:36:29,000 Speaker 1: twenty fourteen when he takes over as the Vikings head coach, 819 00:36:29,480 --> 00:36:31,520 Speaker 1: and from then on he's been putting players in the 820 00:36:31,640 --> 00:36:34,759 Speaker 1: best position to be successful. Now here's the thing. If 821 00:36:34,760 --> 00:36:37,360 Speaker 1: a guy doesn't win Defensive Player of the Year or 822 00:36:37,440 --> 00:36:40,239 Speaker 1: get a Pro Bowl, knot, the next best thing is 823 00:36:40,360 --> 00:36:42,880 Speaker 1: Defensive Player of the Week, which for us is like 824 00:36:42,920 --> 00:36:46,440 Speaker 1: a chef being employer of the monk. And boy has 825 00:36:46,520 --> 00:36:49,799 Speaker 1: Zimmer been cooking up some winners. Since fourteen, Zimmer has 826 00:36:49,840 --> 00:36:53,520 Speaker 1: had eight different NFC Defensive Players of the Week eight 827 00:36:54,040 --> 00:37:00,560 Speaker 1: Anthony Barr, Lynvall, Joseph Terrence Knew every Sing Griffin twice, Kinds, 828 00:37:01,120 --> 00:37:06,359 Speaker 1: Xavier Rhodes, Harrison Smith twice and most recently Dan Hunter. Now, 829 00:37:06,880 --> 00:37:09,200 Speaker 1: by no means am I dismissing the individual efforts of 830 00:37:09,200 --> 00:37:12,800 Speaker 1: each player. Are the assistant coaches who were instrumental along 831 00:37:12,840 --> 00:37:16,600 Speaker 1: the way, But everything starts and ends with the head coach. 832 00:37:16,920 --> 00:37:21,040 Speaker 1: As kids, we've all sang the words like Mike, if 833 00:37:21,080 --> 00:37:24,440 Speaker 1: I could be like my I'm bum bum. Well, listen, 834 00:37:24,480 --> 00:37:26,720 Speaker 1: if you're on defense in NFL, you should be saying 835 00:37:27,360 --> 00:37:31,680 Speaker 1: with Mike, if I could play with Mike, because guys 836 00:37:31,719 --> 00:38:12,360 Speaker 1: love him. Here's a prime example of that. We're small 837 00:38:12,400 --> 00:38:14,240 Speaker 1: every time we see that Dion one of the greatest 838 00:38:14,280 --> 00:38:16,879 Speaker 1: talents this league I've ever seen, and as great as 839 00:38:16,880 --> 00:38:20,480 Speaker 1: a coach, he was the player in him. They connect 840 00:38:20,600 --> 00:38:24,160 Speaker 1: very well now, all these men, they went from super 841 00:38:24,280 --> 00:38:28,120 Speaker 1: collegiate players to superheroes on the pro level. So, in 842 00:38:28,160 --> 00:38:33,200 Speaker 1: the words of the great Stanlee, Okay, love it man. 843 00:38:33,320 --> 00:38:37,680 Speaker 1: Shout out to zimmers all coming together at the right time. 844 00:38:37,719 --> 00:38:42,160 Speaker 1: That's good. I'll go next. Underappreciated One Steelers player or 845 00:38:42,800 --> 00:38:45,480 Speaker 1: non player as a four PM yesterday has been a 846 00:38:45,520 --> 00:38:48,160 Speaker 1: discussion point on our show this week. But I did 847 00:38:48,160 --> 00:38:49,920 Speaker 1: want to shout out a player in the Black and 848 00:38:49,960 --> 00:38:52,880 Speaker 1: Gold who deserves a little airtime from the four of us, 849 00:38:52,880 --> 00:38:56,560 Speaker 1: and that's left tackle Alejandro Villaneuva. Villaneueva's path to the 850 00:38:56,640 --> 00:38:59,160 Speaker 1: NFL is as noble and as cool as any in 851 00:38:59,200 --> 00:39:01,200 Speaker 1: the league. And you might not know his story, and 852 00:39:01,200 --> 00:39:03,359 Speaker 1: if you do already, then you'll appreciate it even more 853 00:39:03,440 --> 00:39:05,360 Speaker 1: once we talk about his play on the field this season. 854 00:39:05,920 --> 00:39:09,600 Speaker 1: Villanueva went to Army up in West Point, he played football, 855 00:39:09,640 --> 00:39:12,520 Speaker 1: and then he went undrafted in the NFL Draft. He 856 00:39:12,600 --> 00:39:15,800 Speaker 1: then went on to be a captain in the US Army. 857 00:39:16,400 --> 00:39:20,480 Speaker 1: He served three tours in Afghanistan as an Army ranger, 858 00:39:20,920 --> 00:39:25,000 Speaker 1: and he earned the Bronze Star for valor. This is 859 00:39:25,120 --> 00:39:30,440 Speaker 1: all after college football. Then, after five years and serving 860 00:39:30,520 --> 00:39:33,879 Speaker 1: three tours in the military, he went and tried out 861 00:39:33,880 --> 00:39:37,080 Speaker 1: for the Eagles in a regional workout. He got signed 862 00:39:37,120 --> 00:39:39,640 Speaker 1: by the Eagles, he got waived by the Eagles, and 863 00:39:39,640 --> 00:39:43,080 Speaker 1: eventually latches on with the Steelers prior to the twenty 864 00:39:43,120 --> 00:39:46,120 Speaker 1: fifteen season. That is an amazing NFL story if it 865 00:39:46,200 --> 00:39:48,520 Speaker 1: ends right there. Guy goes and is an Army ranger, 866 00:39:49,160 --> 00:39:51,319 Speaker 1: starts three tours in Afghanist and you can make a movie. 867 00:39:51,320 --> 00:39:53,480 Speaker 1: He can write a book on that journey alone. From 868 00:39:53,560 --> 00:39:56,600 Speaker 1: Fort Benning where he was trained to protect, to Pittsburgh 869 00:39:56,600 --> 00:39:58,759 Speaker 1: where he does that for Big ben But here's where 870 00:39:58,760 --> 00:40:01,520 Speaker 1: I want to go with it today, different chapter. His play. 871 00:40:01,600 --> 00:40:03,839 Speaker 1: He's awesome this year, like Villeneueva, has been more than 872 00:40:03,880 --> 00:40:06,160 Speaker 1: just a feel good story. He made the Pro Bowl 873 00:40:06,280 --> 00:40:09,239 Speaker 1: last season, and that was great in itself. This year, though, 874 00:40:09,280 --> 00:40:11,440 Speaker 1: the Steeler's offensive line is the best in the league, 875 00:40:11,719 --> 00:40:15,520 Speaker 1: and Villeneueva is in the conversation as a first team 876 00:40:15,719 --> 00:40:18,440 Speaker 1: All Pro left tackle. When he's all said and done 877 00:40:18,480 --> 00:40:20,680 Speaker 1: this season, he could end up being the very best 878 00:40:20,800 --> 00:40:25,759 Speaker 1: left tackle in the entire world. The Steelers offensive line 879 00:40:25,800 --> 00:40:28,080 Speaker 1: has given up just twelve sacks the entire season, this 880 00:40:28,239 --> 00:40:30,520 Speaker 1: third fewest in the league, and last week on national television, 881 00:40:30,560 --> 00:40:33,400 Speaker 1: Big Ben had all day to pass against that vaunted 882 00:40:33,440 --> 00:40:37,480 Speaker 1: Panthers defense. I love this dude's story. Obviously, Army Ranger, 883 00:40:37,600 --> 00:40:40,400 Speaker 1: decorated veteran goes on to the NFL player, that's your book, 884 00:40:40,440 --> 00:40:43,000 Speaker 1: that's your movie, But this, to me is the coolest chapter. 885 00:40:43,040 --> 00:40:46,120 Speaker 1: He's dominating the NFL this season. He's going head to 886 00:40:46,120 --> 00:40:48,000 Speaker 1: head with Terrell Suggs and shutting him down. He's up 887 00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:50,799 Speaker 1: against Myles Garrett shutting him down, Julius Peppers taking care 888 00:40:50,800 --> 00:40:53,359 Speaker 1: of business. And he's more than just merely on the 889 00:40:53,440 --> 00:40:56,799 Speaker 1: field as a veteran, he is actually one of the 890 00:40:56,880 --> 00:41:00,080 Speaker 1: best in the sports. So Veterans Day was Monday. I 891 00:41:00,080 --> 00:41:02,239 Speaker 1: spent the weekend at Fort Benning, where he actually did 892 00:41:02,280 --> 00:41:04,719 Speaker 1: his training as an Army ranger. And we are in 893 00:41:04,719 --> 00:41:07,319 Speaker 1: the midst of the NFL Salute to Service initiatives, so 894 00:41:07,480 --> 00:41:09,160 Speaker 1: we're also in the midst of the Steelers four game 895 00:41:09,200 --> 00:41:11,680 Speaker 1: winning streaking. Their left tackle might be as good as 896 00:41:11,719 --> 00:41:15,320 Speaker 1: any in the sport. Alejandro Villaneueva shout out to you, 897 00:41:15,400 --> 00:41:17,799 Speaker 1: underappreciate not just your story but your play on the field. 898 00:41:18,080 --> 00:41:20,799 Speaker 1: Awesome at that position. It's crazy like what he's doing 899 00:41:20,800 --> 00:41:23,160 Speaker 1: that he's transcended and really making an impact. This year's 900 00:41:23,160 --> 00:41:25,000 Speaker 1: Salut to Service. Guess what how much they were able 901 00:41:25,000 --> 00:41:29,120 Speaker 1: to five point seven plus we could do better, do better? 902 00:41:29,160 --> 00:41:34,279 Speaker 1: The windows open up this tab hashtag salute. I like 903 00:41:34,400 --> 00:41:36,319 Speaker 1: hearing about him as a player. Yeah, there's a real 904 00:41:36,400 --> 00:41:39,839 Speaker 1: species of player who their backstory gets so distracted. Kurt 905 00:41:39,840 --> 00:41:42,360 Speaker 1: Warner in the grocery store and feeling and James Connor 906 00:41:42,400 --> 00:41:44,919 Speaker 1: when he went through the play is great and that's 907 00:41:44,920 --> 00:41:47,879 Speaker 1: what they're into now. I love that three tours, did 908 00:41:47,920 --> 00:41:51,120 Speaker 1: three tours of Afghanistan. He's a decorative Army Ranger, a 909 00:41:51,200 --> 00:41:56,160 Speaker 1: bronze medal for valor protecting this country. He kept protecting 910 00:41:56,160 --> 00:41:59,160 Speaker 1: his quarterback. That's awesome, man. I will hit you with mine, 911 00:41:59,200 --> 00:42:01,879 Speaker 1: all right, And I feel like I want to talk 912 00:42:01,880 --> 00:42:04,520 Speaker 1: about the veterans in the National Football League because we 913 00:42:04,600 --> 00:42:07,279 Speaker 1: love talking flashy new players in the draft and Baker 914 00:42:07,320 --> 00:42:09,800 Speaker 1: Mayfield fields dangerous when he wakes up. But in a 915 00:42:09,920 --> 00:42:12,920 Speaker 1: season where no rookie quarterback has a team with a 916 00:42:13,000 --> 00:42:16,040 Speaker 1: winning record, Vets are the ones showing that they still 917 00:42:16,120 --> 00:42:18,919 Speaker 1: run the show. Here's what I mean. We all saw 918 00:42:18,960 --> 00:42:21,200 Speaker 1: this yesterday. I can't watch it enough. I hadn't seen 919 00:42:21,200 --> 00:42:22,960 Speaker 1: it until you showed it to me. At the ripe 920 00:42:23,000 --> 00:42:26,320 Speaker 1: age thirty five, Gore is running angerers and the grumpy 921 00:42:26,360 --> 00:42:29,600 Speaker 1: old men like he just is. Coincidentally, he also reached 922 00:42:29,600 --> 00:42:32,759 Speaker 1: five hundred rushing yards for the fourteenth consecutive season. That 923 00:42:32,960 --> 00:42:37,800 Speaker 1: is a new NFL record, surpassing Walter Payton and Emmett Smith. 924 00:42:37,920 --> 00:42:41,160 Speaker 1: That is unbelievable. He is putting Father Time in a 925 00:42:41,280 --> 00:42:44,600 Speaker 1: chokehold and giving it a noogie. That's it. Next. He's 926 00:42:44,600 --> 00:42:47,200 Speaker 1: been setting and breaking records left and right. So let's 927 00:42:47,239 --> 00:42:50,160 Speaker 1: look at his most recent achievement against the Bengals. Drew Brees, 928 00:42:50,200 --> 00:42:52,920 Speaker 1: that's who we're talking about here, three first half touchdowns 929 00:42:52,920 --> 00:42:56,080 Speaker 1: helping him reach number two all time for career passing touchdowns, 930 00:42:56,080 --> 00:42:59,360 Speaker 1: surpassing Brett Farve. He is just bawling. He should be 931 00:42:59,400 --> 00:43:01,880 Speaker 1: the MVP. He's thirty touchdowns away from time Manning by 932 00:43:01,880 --> 00:43:05,040 Speaker 1: the way at number one. Next another bet in New Orleans, 933 00:43:05,239 --> 00:43:08,359 Speaker 1: Ben Watson celebrating his wife's newest pregnancy with twins by 934 00:43:08,400 --> 00:43:13,759 Speaker 1: the way after scoring against the Rams in week Now. 935 00:43:13,920 --> 00:43:17,680 Speaker 1: This isn't it? That is Fitzy. No, there we go, 936 00:43:18,200 --> 00:43:20,879 Speaker 1: there's been Watson. They're having I mean, no work. He's 937 00:43:20,880 --> 00:43:27,160 Speaker 1: doing this six and seven hopefully not hopefully. Ben Watson 938 00:43:27,280 --> 00:43:31,319 Speaker 1: has two on the way and he's doing it well 939 00:43:31,360 --> 00:43:33,200 Speaker 1: over thirty five years of age. And I don't know 940 00:43:33,200 --> 00:43:35,200 Speaker 1: if you guys saw this one, but you guys did 941 00:43:35,280 --> 00:43:38,520 Speaker 1: just see it on TV the Bryan Fitzpatrick. Did you 942 00:43:38,520 --> 00:43:42,000 Speaker 1: guys see this? This is fantastic. Okay, he looks like 943 00:43:42,600 --> 00:43:45,600 Speaker 1: he looks like a practice squatter rookie trying to trying 944 00:43:45,600 --> 00:43:48,480 Speaker 1: to like make the roster. Like he looks like somebody 945 00:43:48,520 --> 00:43:51,719 Speaker 1: who's who's like a tweener ye at this age to 946 00:43:51,880 --> 00:43:53,840 Speaker 1: be doing this, I mean, Kyle, it is wild. Yeah. 947 00:43:54,320 --> 00:43:56,239 Speaker 1: I pulled my hamstring watching it. I feel like he 948 00:43:56,280 --> 00:43:58,400 Speaker 1: could have injured himself at this point. Past screw it. 949 00:43:58,520 --> 00:44:00,400 Speaker 1: I'm playing with borrowed time. I'm gonna lay it all 950 00:44:00,400 --> 00:44:02,000 Speaker 1: out on the field. I love it. Quaen. Aren't you 951 00:44:02,000 --> 00:44:04,279 Speaker 1: a veteran and you say I'm gonna, I don't know, 952 00:44:04,400 --> 00:44:09,680 Speaker 1: protect my body. Why not live it up? Five hundred 953 00:44:09,760 --> 00:44:11,919 Speaker 1: yards and three points. Yeah, he'll do everything. I think 954 00:44:12,040 --> 00:44:13,319 Speaker 1: this may be the last game I ever played. They 955 00:44:13,360 --> 00:44:15,080 Speaker 1: may put Jamison next week. I'm just gonna leave it 956 00:44:15,080 --> 00:44:17,000 Speaker 1: all here, play every downlis my last. I like it. 957 00:44:17,160 --> 00:44:20,040 Speaker 1: NFL veterans are feeling some kind of way. And if 958 00:44:20,040 --> 00:44:22,920 Speaker 1: that wasn't enough for you, how much Shady McCoy all 959 00:44:22,960 --> 00:44:24,919 Speaker 1: of a sudden, either ready thirty we haven't heard from 960 00:44:24,920 --> 00:44:26,799 Speaker 1: a bit. That didn't stop him from putting up over 961 00:44:26,800 --> 00:44:30,200 Speaker 1: one hundred yards and two touchdowns last week. Larry Fitzgerald, 962 00:44:30,200 --> 00:44:33,960 Speaker 1: he passed TiO for second all time receiving yards. Julius 963 00:44:33,960 --> 00:44:36,520 Speaker 1: Peppers is thirty eight, but he's still sacked Big Ben 964 00:44:36,640 --> 00:44:39,759 Speaker 1: last week. He's still sacking people. It's unbelievable. Rivers became 965 00:44:39,800 --> 00:44:42,879 Speaker 1: the fourth quarterback to make at least two hundred consecutive 966 00:44:42,920 --> 00:44:45,640 Speaker 1: starts and Rivers he's also getting in on the brand thing. 967 00:44:45,640 --> 00:44:48,879 Speaker 1: He has this Latin phrase. He's like reinvented himself hashtag brand. 968 00:44:48,880 --> 00:44:50,960 Speaker 1: It's like something Juju Smith Schuster would say. I can't 969 00:44:51,000 --> 00:44:55,680 Speaker 1: pronounce it. It It said like coepi nunc Latin phrase. It's 970 00:44:55,680 --> 00:44:58,000 Speaker 1: on hats and T shirts like Philip Rivers like it 971 00:44:58,080 --> 00:45:00,840 Speaker 1: went from bolo tie to that. What is going on now? 972 00:45:01,680 --> 00:45:04,880 Speaker 1: We all wonder what these guys might do after they retire. Um, 973 00:45:05,120 --> 00:45:09,000 Speaker 1: here's my pitch. I'm going to call it Vet's Talk. Okay, 974 00:45:09,040 --> 00:45:11,600 Speaker 1: It's a talk show where we get all of the guys, 975 00:45:11,880 --> 00:45:14,600 Speaker 1: all of these they're killing talk season. I'm not telling 976 00:45:14,640 --> 00:45:16,640 Speaker 1: that they're almost done, because clearly they're not. But it's 977 00:45:16,680 --> 00:45:18,400 Speaker 1: just something to think about in the future. It'll be 978 00:45:18,520 --> 00:45:22,239 Speaker 1: Vet's Talk. Okay, it's like Ted Talk or Let's Talk. Yes, 979 00:45:22,960 --> 00:45:25,759 Speaker 1: I wanted to do a play on Vet Cemetery, but 980 00:45:25,840 --> 00:45:28,040 Speaker 1: it didn't sure it didn't go over real well. So 981 00:45:28,080 --> 00:45:30,120 Speaker 1: a bunch of X players get on a panel and 982 00:45:30,160 --> 00:45:33,239 Speaker 1: talk football. Yeah I've seen that before. Ye I don't 983 00:45:33,280 --> 00:45:36,560 Speaker 1: like it. Have you ever seen a Vet cemetery coming 984 00:45:36,560 --> 00:45:39,799 Speaker 1: back to life and they just won't go away? Thank you? 985 00:45:40,160 --> 00:45:43,520 Speaker 1: Breakdown film? My point's proven. Then engaged the little kid. 986 00:45:43,680 --> 00:45:47,720 Speaker 1: What do you got? I got layers of players underappreciation. 987 00:45:48,400 --> 00:45:51,640 Speaker 1: The Jets Bills game got crazy and it gave us 988 00:45:51,680 --> 00:45:54,560 Speaker 1: something that I appreciate that I have never seen in 989 00:45:54,600 --> 00:45:57,040 Speaker 1: all my years of watching football. Let's just roll it. 990 00:46:00,080 --> 00:46:49,400 Speaker 1: M look at Todd Bull's face. First of all, underappreciated 991 00:46:49,640 --> 00:46:52,920 Speaker 1: the official Ronald Torbert, who nailed all three of the 992 00:46:53,000 --> 00:46:56,279 Speaker 1: calls and the jersey numbers. That's underappreciated. But I also 993 00:46:56,320 --> 00:46:58,560 Speaker 1: look at this as an underappreciated Jets, so it's a 994 00:46:58,600 --> 00:47:01,000 Speaker 1: positive Jet story. Let me tell you why. First of all, 995 00:47:01,360 --> 00:47:03,560 Speaker 1: that was their only penalty of the game. They lose 996 00:47:03,640 --> 00:47:06,640 Speaker 1: by thirty points three holding on one only a penalty 997 00:47:06,680 --> 00:47:08,239 Speaker 1: of the game, and I choose to look at the 998 00:47:08,239 --> 00:47:11,080 Speaker 1: glass half full of this. Three players called on one 999 00:47:11,120 --> 00:47:14,520 Speaker 1: play for holding. That means eight we're not called for holding, 1000 00:47:14,600 --> 00:47:17,720 Speaker 1: and let's give me, give me the give me the names. 1001 00:47:18,120 --> 00:47:21,120 Speaker 1: Here we go, guys, I'm my under appreciates Brandon Shell, 1002 00:47:21,400 --> 00:47:25,000 Speaker 1: Brian Winters, Jonathan Harrison, James Carpenter, Eric Thomason Quincy and No. 1003 00:47:25,160 --> 00:47:27,319 Speaker 1: One Josh McCown not called for holding on the play, 1004 00:47:27,440 --> 00:47:31,080 Speaker 1: and the running back Elijah McGuire not called for holding 1005 00:47:31,200 --> 00:47:33,440 Speaker 1: on the play. Let's just roll it because we had 1006 00:47:33,480 --> 00:47:36,600 Speaker 1: eight New York Jets duing their jobs by the rules 1007 00:47:36,600 --> 00:47:40,040 Speaker 1: of this game, blocking just absolutely more than half. Everybody's 1008 00:47:40,120 --> 00:47:42,480 Speaker 1: laughing about the three that held, how about the eighth 1009 00:47:42,520 --> 00:47:45,160 Speaker 1: that didn't hold, and everything's negative and all that. Let's 1010 00:47:45,200 --> 00:47:47,200 Speaker 1: look at a positive story for once, because there were 1011 00:47:47,239 --> 00:47:49,640 Speaker 1: eight guys who did their job. And I also, I'm 1012 00:47:49,640 --> 00:47:52,759 Speaker 1: just reminded of the fact that this now is really 1013 00:47:52,800 --> 00:47:57,680 Speaker 1: the most second second most infamous Jets offensive line. So 1014 00:47:57,719 --> 00:48:00,480 Speaker 1: why don't we look at the other one, because let 1015 00:48:00,520 --> 00:48:02,440 Speaker 1: me tell you why, Peter, let me just tell you why. 1016 00:48:02,600 --> 00:48:05,359 Speaker 1: Mark Sanchez blah blah blah. Brandon Moore was doing his job. 1017 00:48:05,440 --> 00:48:09,200 Speaker 1: Number sixty five blocking, Jeff Cumberland, number eighty six was blocking. 1018 00:48:09,320 --> 00:48:11,480 Speaker 1: They had nothing to do with this sitious yet they 1019 00:48:11,520 --> 00:48:13,480 Speaker 1: were doing their jobs and they will forever be in 1020 00:48:13,560 --> 00:48:16,880 Speaker 1: this play. It reminds me of guys like Bob Stanley 1021 00:48:16,960 --> 00:48:19,560 Speaker 1: is the pitcher during the Bill Buckner gromble. Bob Stanley 1022 00:48:19,560 --> 00:48:21,840 Speaker 1: got a weak groundball and down the first base line. Easy. 1023 00:48:22,000 --> 00:48:25,520 Speaker 1: We're gonna always show David Tyree over Rodney Harrison. Ellis 1024 00:48:25,520 --> 00:48:28,000 Speaker 1: Hobbs was like, I was doing my job on that play. 1025 00:48:28,040 --> 00:48:30,120 Speaker 1: When Kay and I were doing the Kelly Pickler interview 1026 00:48:30,239 --> 00:48:34,000 Speaker 1: Nayton Peter like, that's not on us. We're just bystanders here. 1027 00:48:34,160 --> 00:48:38,000 Speaker 1: Sometimes even when terrible things happened, there's good people doing 1028 00:48:38,000 --> 00:48:41,120 Speaker 1: their jobs have nothing to do with it. Underappreciated. The 1029 00:48:41,400 --> 00:48:44,919 Speaker 1: eight eight New York Jets did not hold on that play, 1030 00:48:44,960 --> 00:48:47,160 Speaker 1: and I respect all the Gang Green eight. I love it. 1031 00:48:47,200 --> 00:48:49,279 Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying that there's the document the Gang 1032 00:48:49,320 --> 00:48:52,560 Speaker 1: Green Eight, the butt fumble. Really, why are you holding 1033 00:48:52,600 --> 00:48:54,319 Speaker 1: on that play? Kyle? I want to give a credit 1034 00:48:54,360 --> 00:48:56,919 Speaker 1: to the guy that as the most famous button football history, 1035 00:48:57,000 --> 00:48:59,480 Speaker 1: Brandon Moore, and he's sitting there blocking. It's not his fause. 1036 00:48:59,560 --> 00:49:02,680 Speaker 1: Sanchez did what he did, my fault. I like it. 1037 00:49:03,239 --> 00:49:05,120 Speaker 1: How much do you want to bet that that Kelly 1038 00:49:05,160 --> 00:49:08,040 Speaker 1: Pickler interview was in our Emmy nomination reel? Well, that's 1039 00:49:08,040 --> 00:49:10,080 Speaker 1: why we didn't win. Is that your point? I'm just saying, 1040 00:49:11,560 --> 00:49:15,160 Speaker 1: did not interview Pickler? We look, we love Kelly Pickler, 1041 00:49:15,480 --> 00:49:18,920 Speaker 1: and thanks to Alejandro Villanueva for his service and to 1042 00:49:19,040 --> 00:49:22,400 Speaker 1: those who have served and continue to serve.
