1 00:00:04,428 --> 00:00:06,668 Speaker 1: Good Morning Football is the production of the NFL in 2 00:00:06,748 --> 00:00:14,748 Speaker 1: partnership with iHeartRadio. 3 00:00:22,388 --> 00:00:23,868 Speaker 2: Good Morning Football. 4 00:00:25,068 --> 00:00:27,588 Speaker 3: Welcome back to Good Morning Football. We're now joined by 5 00:00:27,588 --> 00:00:30,268 Speaker 3: a friend of the show, former NFL quarterback all of 6 00:00:30,308 --> 00:00:33,188 Speaker 3: that stuff, but he is on Prime Video Thursday night 7 00:00:33,268 --> 00:00:34,668 Speaker 3: kickoff our. 8 00:00:34,508 --> 00:00:35,188 Speaker 2: Guy, Ryan. 9 00:00:37,588 --> 00:00:38,868 Speaker 4: Hey, guys, how's it going. 10 00:00:40,428 --> 00:00:42,788 Speaker 3: We're doing great. You look great. The hair, the comb 11 00:00:42,828 --> 00:00:45,668 Speaker 3: over is just a perfect style. I absolutely love it. 12 00:00:45,748 --> 00:00:47,868 Speaker 3: I can't do it, so I respect it. You know, 13 00:00:47,948 --> 00:00:48,428 Speaker 3: you look good? 14 00:00:48,468 --> 00:00:48,868 Speaker 5: All right? 15 00:00:49,068 --> 00:00:49,268 Speaker 6: Ryan? 16 00:00:49,308 --> 00:00:51,828 Speaker 3: Here in Pittsburgh tonight the game them and the Patriots. 17 00:00:51,948 --> 00:00:54,508 Speaker 3: You studied these offices leading up to this game. What's 18 00:00:54,548 --> 00:00:56,748 Speaker 3: something that either of these teams can do to put 19 00:00:56,788 --> 00:00:58,348 Speaker 3: some points on the board. 20 00:00:58,668 --> 00:01:01,148 Speaker 4: Oh my goodness. Well, I'll tell you what. Pittsburgh does 21 00:01:01,188 --> 00:01:04,668 Speaker 4: look better in the last few weeks, and unfortunately, you know, 22 00:01:04,748 --> 00:01:07,628 Speaker 4: Kenny Pickett goes down, but they do look better. They're 23 00:01:07,628 --> 00:01:09,828 Speaker 4: starting to take more shots down the field. I think 24 00:01:09,868 --> 00:01:12,628 Speaker 4: more play action for Pittsburgh because their running game has 25 00:01:12,748 --> 00:01:16,148 Speaker 4: looked good the last five weeks. And then for the Patriots, 26 00:01:16,148 --> 00:01:19,468 Speaker 4: I don't know, me, I just don't know. Hopefully we 27 00:01:19,588 --> 00:01:22,508 Speaker 4: see Zappi make some magic out there. But it's been 28 00:01:22,588 --> 00:01:24,308 Speaker 4: really tough on that side of the ball. You know, 29 00:01:24,348 --> 00:01:26,708 Speaker 4: they tried to get it to Devonte Parker last week. 30 00:01:26,868 --> 00:01:30,108 Speaker 4: Taekwon Thornton had a big run. But we're looking for 31 00:01:30,148 --> 00:01:33,628 Speaker 4: a defensive battle with lots of TJ. Watt touchdowns. 32 00:01:34,108 --> 00:01:34,588 Speaker 3: Awesome. 33 00:01:34,868 --> 00:01:37,268 Speaker 2: Hell, yes, we'll watch it either way. Dude. 34 00:01:37,628 --> 00:01:40,828 Speaker 7: No, right, you obviously had seventeen years in the league, 35 00:01:40,868 --> 00:01:43,068 Speaker 7: and you had a great little run with the Jets 36 00:01:43,108 --> 00:01:44,508 Speaker 7: here in New York, and when you were there you 37 00:01:44,548 --> 00:01:47,148 Speaker 7: became a media favorite, of course. But that thing can 38 00:01:47,148 --> 00:01:49,548 Speaker 7: go off the rails real quick. What do you make 39 00:01:49,588 --> 00:01:51,988 Speaker 7: of the whole Zach Wilson situation and now being put 40 00:01:52,028 --> 00:01:55,148 Speaker 7: under center again after what's been a rollercoaster every year 41 00:01:55,148 --> 00:01:55,748 Speaker 7: for that young man. 42 00:01:56,068 --> 00:01:58,588 Speaker 4: Yeah, you know I had a similar situation to him 43 00:01:58,588 --> 00:02:00,868 Speaker 4: when in twenty sixteen when I was with the Jets, 44 00:02:01,148 --> 00:02:04,748 Speaker 4: which was my second year there. Gut bench, Gino gets hurt, 45 00:02:04,908 --> 00:02:08,068 Speaker 4: go back in, got benched, brace Petty goes in, He 46 00:02:08,108 --> 00:02:10,668 Speaker 4: gets hurt, go back in in his heart. It's a 47 00:02:10,668 --> 00:02:12,708 Speaker 4: hard situation, you know. We heard about some of the 48 00:02:12,748 --> 00:02:15,948 Speaker 4: reports coming out about Zach and it takes a real 49 00:02:15,988 --> 00:02:19,588 Speaker 4: toll on you mentally and emotionally. It's difficult, but look, 50 00:02:19,628 --> 00:02:22,788 Speaker 4: I mean they haven't scored over thirteen points since the 51 00:02:22,788 --> 00:02:27,388 Speaker 4: middle of October, so expectations are low. He's got some players, 52 00:02:27,428 --> 00:02:30,308 Speaker 4: he's got a feed Garrett Wilson. But the other thing 53 00:02:30,388 --> 00:02:32,268 Speaker 4: is three to the last five on the road, which 54 00:02:32,268 --> 00:02:34,308 Speaker 4: I think will be helpful for him because he gets 55 00:02:34,348 --> 00:02:36,388 Speaker 4: out of that environment. You know, it's tough to be 56 00:02:36,468 --> 00:02:39,068 Speaker 4: booed after the first series, you know, and I think 57 00:02:39,148 --> 00:02:40,788 Speaker 4: a lot of us are reaching for him to hopefully 58 00:02:40,788 --> 00:02:42,188 Speaker 4: have some success at the end of the year. 59 00:02:42,188 --> 00:02:44,108 Speaker 2: Here, we definitely are. That's insightful too. 60 00:02:44,108 --> 00:02:46,588 Speaker 1: It's actually an advantage to be on the road given 61 00:02:46,628 --> 00:02:49,548 Speaker 1: how the season rights going. I hear completely what you're saying, 62 00:02:49,588 --> 00:02:53,068 Speaker 1: and right you probably know Josh Allen better than anybody 63 00:02:53,068 --> 00:02:55,068 Speaker 1: who talks about football for a living. And he's in 64 00:02:55,108 --> 00:02:57,668 Speaker 1: this kind of strange territory now where he's six and six. 65 00:02:58,068 --> 00:02:59,588 Speaker 1: They haven't able to figure it out all year, and 66 00:02:59,628 --> 00:03:02,788 Speaker 1: yet here he's coming off to buy Kansas City Dallas. 67 00:03:03,148 --> 00:03:05,068 Speaker 1: What do you think is going on between his years 68 00:03:05,148 --> 00:03:07,588 Speaker 1: right now? And can Buffalo really get off the mat 69 00:03:07,628 --> 00:03:08,988 Speaker 1: and make a playoff push? 70 00:03:09,148 --> 00:03:10,708 Speaker 4: I think they can. I think you saw it in 71 00:03:10,748 --> 00:03:13,708 Speaker 4: that Philly game, and unfortunately they didn't end up winning. 72 00:03:13,788 --> 00:03:16,668 Speaker 4: But this bye week, you know, in this first game 73 00:03:16,708 --> 00:03:18,588 Speaker 4: against Kansas City is going to say a lot. You know, 74 00:03:18,628 --> 00:03:21,228 Speaker 4: they bet ten wins. They may not get in, they 75 00:03:21,268 --> 00:03:23,268 Speaker 4: may have to win them all in order to get in. 76 00:03:23,428 --> 00:03:26,068 Speaker 4: But certainly in the next two games Kansas City Dallas, 77 00:03:26,108 --> 00:03:28,628 Speaker 4: they've got to win this Kansas City game, the game 78 00:03:28,828 --> 00:03:31,388 Speaker 4: you know in the conference. But Josh has had a 79 00:03:31,388 --> 00:03:32,148 Speaker 4: great season. 80 00:03:32,428 --> 00:03:32,628 Speaker 5: You know. 81 00:03:32,668 --> 00:03:35,508 Speaker 4: The interesting thing for me is if they do win 82 00:03:35,588 --> 00:03:37,468 Speaker 4: out here, if they do win these next two games, 83 00:03:37,468 --> 00:03:39,628 Speaker 4: all of a sudden, the hype is back on the Bills. 84 00:03:39,748 --> 00:03:41,908 Speaker 4: I think it can change quickly for these guys. And 85 00:03:42,028 --> 00:03:44,468 Speaker 4: momentum is a big thing in football, obviously. 86 00:03:44,708 --> 00:03:45,828 Speaker 8: Yeah, it definitely is. 87 00:03:45,908 --> 00:03:48,908 Speaker 6: And just hearing you talk about the Bills and the 88 00:03:49,028 --> 00:03:51,308 Speaker 6: Jets before, I know that you really went through the 89 00:03:51,468 --> 00:03:54,868 Speaker 6: entire AFC East, But I just when I think about 90 00:03:54,868 --> 00:03:57,748 Speaker 6: that twenty sixteen Jets team, I think that was the 91 00:03:57,788 --> 00:04:00,068 Speaker 6: year that was you and like lighting it up with 92 00:04:00,228 --> 00:04:02,948 Speaker 6: Eric Decker right, like that was you could have been 93 00:04:03,228 --> 00:04:05,708 Speaker 6: MVP at that And that's what I'm going to ask 94 00:04:05,708 --> 00:04:07,948 Speaker 6: you about here, because the MVP race, it has just 95 00:04:08,028 --> 00:04:11,628 Speaker 6: been a rotating list of guys at the top, and 96 00:04:11,708 --> 00:04:14,388 Speaker 6: right now you have Brock Party and Dak Prescott. 97 00:04:14,428 --> 00:04:16,308 Speaker 8: At one point it was Lamar Jackson. 98 00:04:16,668 --> 00:04:18,828 Speaker 6: Jalen Hurts has been in the mix too, and plenty 99 00:04:18,868 --> 00:04:21,188 Speaker 6: of guys that aren't even a quarterback, which is wild 100 00:04:21,228 --> 00:04:22,788 Speaker 6: because it is a quarterback award. 101 00:04:22,908 --> 00:04:25,108 Speaker 8: So who right now is your current leader? 102 00:04:25,268 --> 00:04:27,308 Speaker 6: And how do you see this unfolding over the final 103 00:04:27,348 --> 00:04:27,868 Speaker 6: five weeks? 104 00:04:28,268 --> 00:04:31,188 Speaker 4: Oh, it's going to be interesting. This one's awesome because 105 00:04:31,548 --> 00:04:34,068 Speaker 4: you know, for Brock Party to be in this, I mean, 106 00:04:34,108 --> 00:04:36,148 Speaker 4: I think we've now all forgotten that he was myster 107 00:04:36,188 --> 00:04:39,788 Speaker 4: irrelevant last year. I mean, it's absolutely crazy what he's doing. 108 00:04:40,148 --> 00:04:42,868 Speaker 4: But you know, for him, the big moment is going 109 00:04:42,948 --> 00:04:45,788 Speaker 4: to be Christmas Night Baltimore game. That's going to be 110 00:04:45,828 --> 00:04:49,028 Speaker 4: a tough defense, everybody's going to be watching. That's going 111 00:04:49,068 --> 00:04:50,628 Speaker 4: to be a huge moment for him to kind of 112 00:04:50,628 --> 00:04:52,748 Speaker 4: put his stamp on it. I think TWOA is still 113 00:04:52,748 --> 00:04:55,508 Speaker 4: in the mix too. In those last three games for TUA, 114 00:04:55,588 --> 00:04:58,748 Speaker 4: he's got Dallas, Baltimore and Buffalo. Can he do it? 115 00:04:58,788 --> 00:05:01,228 Speaker 4: In my two that are just kind of the you 116 00:05:01,268 --> 00:05:05,828 Speaker 4: know those dark horses c J. Stroud All, I mean, 117 00:05:05,988 --> 00:05:09,108 Speaker 4: if we're talking about these next two games, if Trevor 118 00:05:09,188 --> 00:05:12,468 Speaker 4: Lawrence is hurt Jacksonville. They could fall out of the 119 00:05:12,508 --> 00:05:16,668 Speaker 4: spot to be winning that conference to shuston that division, 120 00:05:16,748 --> 00:05:19,388 Speaker 4: which would be crazy. But CJ. Stroud's playing an MVP 121 00:05:19,508 --> 00:05:21,148 Speaker 4: level that My last one would just be Josh Allen. 122 00:05:21,348 --> 00:05:23,428 Speaker 4: If they went out, it's going to be because of 123 00:05:23,468 --> 00:05:25,948 Speaker 4: Josh Allen and I'd be really excited to see him 124 00:05:25,988 --> 00:05:26,868 Speaker 4: with the award as well. 125 00:05:27,068 --> 00:05:29,708 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think everybody would. It would be incredible to 126 00:05:29,748 --> 00:05:31,908 Speaker 3: see that level of play. And you started with Brock Perdy. 127 00:05:31,948 --> 00:05:34,828 Speaker 3: You talked about miss Irrelevant going from a backup quarterback 128 00:05:34,868 --> 00:05:37,628 Speaker 3: to a starter. You've experienced that throughout your career, and 129 00:05:37,708 --> 00:05:40,788 Speaker 3: yesterday on our show we discussed kind of the backups 130 00:05:40,788 --> 00:05:43,868 Speaker 3: that have an opportunity to finish out this season strong 131 00:05:43,908 --> 00:05:46,148 Speaker 3: and kind of go on a magical run. When you 132 00:05:46,188 --> 00:05:48,628 Speaker 3: look around the league and any list that you see 133 00:05:48,628 --> 00:05:50,548 Speaker 3: with the backups that are out there, who are the 134 00:05:50,588 --> 00:05:52,508 Speaker 3: guys and you see this was a list we came up. 135 00:05:52,988 --> 00:05:54,628 Speaker 3: Is there somebody that you look at this list and 136 00:05:54,628 --> 00:05:56,348 Speaker 3: you're like, hey, I think they can come up with 137 00:05:56,388 --> 00:05:58,388 Speaker 3: some magic down the stretch and really put their team 138 00:05:58,388 --> 00:06:00,428 Speaker 3: in a position to compete in the playoffs. 139 00:06:00,708 --> 00:06:02,988 Speaker 4: Well, I think Gardner minshe's done a great job all 140 00:06:03,068 --> 00:06:06,388 Speaker 4: year long. Of it is. We almost stopped talking about 141 00:06:06,428 --> 00:06:09,268 Speaker 4: him because it's normal to see him in that starting position, 142 00:06:09,348 --> 00:06:12,948 Speaker 4: but he really just stabilized that franchise with the way 143 00:06:12,948 --> 00:06:14,708 Speaker 4: that he's played the one on that list. I think 144 00:06:14,708 --> 00:06:17,868 Speaker 4: we're all excited about to bring a spark to the team. 145 00:06:18,068 --> 00:06:20,788 Speaker 4: You know, if Jameis Winston gets a chance, he gets 146 00:06:20,788 --> 00:06:23,228 Speaker 4: a chance. We know, you know he's instant offense. We 147 00:06:23,268 --> 00:06:25,668 Speaker 4: know the ball's going down the field. We know there's 148 00:06:25,708 --> 00:06:27,988 Speaker 4: going to be plays to be made, probably on both 149 00:06:28,028 --> 00:06:30,468 Speaker 4: sides of the ball. But you know, Jamis is a 150 00:06:30,508 --> 00:06:33,748 Speaker 4: guy that can provide us spark quickly. And you know 151 00:06:33,868 --> 00:06:36,668 Speaker 4: he he's fun to watch too. I think the game 152 00:06:36,708 --> 00:06:38,708 Speaker 4: needs it. I think the game needs more Jamis. 153 00:06:39,068 --> 00:06:41,708 Speaker 2: He's unbelievably entertaining. I mean it really is. I think 154 00:06:41,708 --> 00:06:43,068 Speaker 2: he's the most entertainment in Lampa. 155 00:06:43,188 --> 00:06:45,748 Speaker 1: It's such a good You're right, You're right before you go, Fitz, 156 00:06:45,788 --> 00:06:47,788 Speaker 1: we were talking, Jason, I were talking recently. Our wives 157 00:06:47,828 --> 00:06:49,588 Speaker 1: always come to us before the hot and say what 158 00:06:49,628 --> 00:06:51,348 Speaker 1: do you want for Christmas? And I was like, buy 159 00:06:51,388 --> 00:06:54,028 Speaker 1: me nothing. I do not buy me something. I'm not kidding. 160 00:06:54,348 --> 00:06:56,628 Speaker 1: How do you handle that? What do you want for Christmas? 161 00:06:56,708 --> 00:06:59,868 Speaker 4: Run? I agree, I want nothing. I want nothing. I 162 00:06:59,868 --> 00:07:03,508 Speaker 4: want my kids to be spoiled. I want experiences, you know. 163 00:07:03,588 --> 00:07:05,868 Speaker 4: I want experience is I want no fighting on the 164 00:07:05,948 --> 00:07:08,388 Speaker 4: day of Christmas, those type of things. But yeah, I 165 00:07:08,468 --> 00:07:11,788 Speaker 4: usually I pulled the same thing, and inevitably I get 166 00:07:11,828 --> 00:07:14,148 Speaker 4: fourteen presents under the tree, you know, And I got 167 00:07:14,188 --> 00:07:17,348 Speaker 4: to put a smile on my face. Yeah, but I'll 168 00:07:17,348 --> 00:07:20,748 Speaker 4: say too, it's absolute chaos in my house in the 169 00:07:20,788 --> 00:07:23,588 Speaker 4: morning on Christmas. We love it. It's so much fun. 170 00:07:23,708 --> 00:07:25,348 Speaker 4: And I'm sure you guys will have a great holiday 171 00:07:25,348 --> 00:07:25,708 Speaker 4: as well. 172 00:07:25,828 --> 00:07:28,028 Speaker 3: Youtubeer, Yeah, we hope you do too.

Eastern 257 00:10:58,468 --> 00:11:01,508 Speaker 6: on Prime Video. What's the latest this morning with Naji 258 00:11:01,628 --> 00:11:03,268 Speaker 6: Harris Colleen. 259 00:11:03,308 --> 00:11:07,068 Speaker 9: Naji Harris, officially listed as questionable, did not practice on 260 00:11:07,188 --> 00:11:09,788 Speaker 9: the short week because of a knee issue, but I 261 00:11:09,828 --> 00:11:14,228 Speaker 9: am told Harris is expected to play tonight against the Patriots. 262 00:11:14,468 --> 00:11:17,068 Speaker 9: This is not a new injury for Najie Harris. He's 263 00:11:17,068 --> 00:11:20,028 Speaker 9: been managing that knee for a while now. This is 264 00:11:20,068 --> 00:11:22,268 Speaker 9: something where he just didn't feel good coming out of 265 00:11:22,308 --> 00:11:24,388 Speaker 9: the game. They decided to rest him on the short week. 266 00:11:24,588 --> 00:11:26,748 Speaker 9: If it were a normal week, a Sunday game, he 267 00:11:26,868 --> 00:11:30,148 Speaker 9: probably practiced today, But instead it's Thursday night football and 268 00:11:30,268 --> 00:11:33,788 Speaker 9: they do anticipate bardon setback that Harris is going to 269 00:11:33,788 --> 00:11:36,828 Speaker 9: be out there. In other news, Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence 270 00:11:36,908 --> 00:11:40,468 Speaker 9: did not practice on Wednesday while managing that right high 271 00:11:40,508 --> 00:11:44,228 Speaker 9: ankle spray. Lawrence spoke with reporters that he's thankful that 272 00:11:44,308 --> 00:11:47,628 Speaker 9: the injury was not worse. Also said that if he's 273 00:11:47,668 --> 00:11:49,468 Speaker 9: able to be out there and more or less move 274 00:11:49,628 --> 00:11:52,268 Speaker 9: like himself, then he intends to be out there this 275 00:11:52,348 --> 00:11:55,748 Speaker 9: week against the Browns. If Lawrence cannot go, then the 276 00:11:55,788 --> 00:11:58,548 Speaker 9: backup is CJ. Bethod who also popped upon the injury 277 00:11:58,548 --> 00:12:01,548 Speaker 9: report as limited with a shoulder issue does not seem 278 00:12:01,588 --> 00:12:03,948 Speaker 9: like a great cause for concern. We will be monitoring 279 00:12:04,108 --> 00:12:08,388 Speaker 9: both these situations throughout the week. Meanwhile, in Minnesota, Vikings 280 00:12:08,388 --> 00:12:11,908 Speaker 9: wide receiver Justin Jefferson a full participant in practice for 281 00:12:11,948 --> 00:12:14,868 Speaker 9: the first time since he suffered a hamstring injury back 282 00:12:14,908 --> 00:12:18,628 Speaker 9: in Week five. All systems go. Jefferson expected to return 283 00:12:18,668 --> 00:12:21,548 Speaker 9: to the lineup this week against the Raiders. Throwing him 284 00:12:21,588 --> 00:12:25,068 Speaker 9: passes will be Joshua Dobbs, who, of course got off 285 00:12:25,108 --> 00:12:27,428 Speaker 9: to a hot start his first couple of games in Minnesota, 286 00:12:27,588 --> 00:12:30,988 Speaker 9: then through four interceptions in Minnesota's last game Monday Night 287 00:12:30,988 --> 00:12:33,668 Speaker 9: Football a couple of weeks ago against the Bears. Not 288 00:12:33,788 --> 00:12:38,068 Speaker 9: all those interceptions were his fault. Kevin O'Connell mon Mold 289 00:12:38,188 --> 00:12:41,388 Speaker 9: a change potentially during the bye week, but decided to 290 00:12:41,388 --> 00:12:43,668 Speaker 9: stick with Dobbs. He's still growing in the offense. There's 291 00:12:43,668 --> 00:12:45,868 Speaker 9: still more that they can do to gear the offense 292 00:12:46,108 --> 00:12:48,748 Speaker 9: around him. And now Dobbs gets oh yeah, one of 293 00:12:48,748 --> 00:12:51,268 Speaker 9: the best receivers in the NFL out there on Sunday 294 00:12:51,308 --> 00:12:52,868 Speaker 9: in Vegas, Cally just a. 295 00:12:52,948 --> 00:12:54,748 Speaker 8: Small little detail. We love it. 296 00:12:54,788 --> 00:12:57,348 Speaker 6: We can't wait to see Justin Jefferson back on the field. 297 00:12:57,708 --> 00:13:00,508 Speaker 6: Tom Pelaso there with the latest this morning, Time four 298 00:13:00,588 --> 00:13:01,508 Speaker 6: Throwdown Thursday. 299 00:13:02,148 --> 00:13:03,428 Speaker 8: Let's start in. 300 00:13:03,228 --> 00:13:05,508 Speaker 6: Baltimore where it's I guess a little bit of a 301 00:13:05,508 --> 00:13:08,748 Speaker 6: reunion for Odell Beckham junior back during the Rams run 302 00:13:08,748 --> 00:13:12,148 Speaker 6: to the Super Bowl. Odell made some big catches against 303 00:13:12,228 --> 00:13:16,988 Speaker 6: the Ravens in Week seventeen, including the game winning touchdown. Well, 304 00:13:17,108 --> 00:13:19,868 Speaker 6: these two teams, they are going up against each other 305 00:13:19,948 --> 00:13:23,388 Speaker 6: again this week on Sunday. So which wide receiver duo 306 00:13:23,548 --> 00:13:26,468 Speaker 6: will have the bigger game? The Rams with Cooper Cup 307 00:13:26,508 --> 00:13:30,868 Speaker 6: and Pookinakua or the Ravens with Obj and Davey Lower. 308 00:13:31,108 --> 00:13:31,748 Speaker 2: It's a tough one. 309 00:13:31,788 --> 00:13:34,028 Speaker 3: You guys know how much I love the young rookie 310 00:13:34,268 --> 00:13:36,868 Speaker 3: Jay of Flowers. He had the celebration last week. He 311 00:13:36,908 --> 00:13:38,588 Speaker 3: was throwing the bouquet a whole nine la. 312 00:13:38,588 --> 00:13:39,468 Speaker 5: Margin like it. 313 00:13:39,748 --> 00:13:42,148 Speaker 3: I loved it too. Baltimore is a sexier pick. You 314 00:13:42,148 --> 00:13:45,628 Speaker 3: got Lamar's electric I'm going with Pooka and I'm going 315 00:13:45,708 --> 00:13:47,988 Speaker 3: with Cup. I think for those two guys, I think 316 00:13:47,988 --> 00:13:49,628 Speaker 3: they're gonna have a chance to have a bigger day. 317 00:13:49,668 --> 00:13:51,668 Speaker 3: I think for Baltimore's side of it, when you talk 318 00:13:51,668 --> 00:13:54,828 Speaker 3: about Zay Flowers and Odell Beckham Junior. Rasha Bateman is 319 00:13:54,868 --> 00:13:56,668 Speaker 3: a big part of their past game as well. I 320 00:13:56,668 --> 00:13:59,948 Speaker 3: think he's gonna get some opportunities. I think Isaiah Likely's 321 00:13:59,988 --> 00:14:03,628 Speaker 3: gonna step up liv for Matthew Stafford. These are his guys, Cup, 322 00:14:03,668 --> 00:14:06,228 Speaker 3: Pooka Nicole. One of those two guys are going to 323 00:14:06,268 --> 00:14:09,188 Speaker 3: be on the other end of his passes. And we 324 00:14:09,228 --> 00:14:10,348 Speaker 3: don't know if both of them are gonna have a 325 00:14:10,388 --> 00:14:12,108 Speaker 3: big game, but I think for the Rams to begin 326 00:14:12,188 --> 00:14:14,388 Speaker 3: it as either Pooka or Cup, one of those guys 327 00:14:14,468 --> 00:14:15,388 Speaker 3: are going to be going off. 328 00:14:15,428 --> 00:14:17,388 Speaker 7: I have a couple thoughts on this matchup. First off, 329 00:14:17,388 --> 00:14:19,628 Speaker 7: the Odell thing can't be understraated. That game that he 330 00:14:19,668 --> 00:14:21,268 Speaker 7: had it was in the rain in Baltimore. They would 331 00:14:21,268 --> 00:14:23,388 Speaker 7: actually win the NFC West because of that. They would 332 00:14:23,428 --> 00:14:25,908 Speaker 7: beat the forty nine Ers in the NFC Championship game 333 00:14:25,908 --> 00:14:27,828 Speaker 7: because they partially had the home field and they were 334 00:14:27,828 --> 00:14:29,228 Speaker 7: gonna come back like it was a huge game. 335 00:14:29,308 --> 00:14:29,468 Speaker 6: Yeah. 336 00:14:29,508 --> 00:14:29,788 Speaker 3: Yeah. 337 00:14:29,788 --> 00:14:32,268 Speaker 7: Odell was on the podium yesterday and they were like, oh, 338 00:14:32,308 --> 00:14:33,748 Speaker 7: you going up against the Rams, Let's feel like a 339 00:14:33,788 --> 00:14:35,948 Speaker 7: revenge game, and he was like, I owe it all 340 00:14:35,988 --> 00:14:38,788 Speaker 7: to the Rams. Like I found my joy in football 341 00:14:38,948 --> 00:14:41,148 Speaker 7: from the Rams. He's like, I forgot the Super Bowl. 342 00:14:41,148 --> 00:14:42,908 Speaker 7: He's like, and he said him and Stafford and Cup 343 00:14:42,908 --> 00:14:45,188 Speaker 7: have been texting and like he's like McVeigh brought joy 344 00:14:45,228 --> 00:14:47,188 Speaker 7: back to it. So it's just really a lovely thing 345 00:14:47,708 --> 00:14:50,468 Speaker 7: I'm going with with OBJ and Flowers like this one. 346 00:14:50,508 --> 00:14:52,308 Speaker 7: And I think it's because Mark Andrews is out and 347 00:14:52,348 --> 00:14:54,468 Speaker 7: they had a mind league and we're drawing an offense 348 00:14:54,548 --> 00:14:56,308 Speaker 7: up here, and it's like, we have to figure out 349 00:14:56,308 --> 00:14:58,428 Speaker 7: what we're gonna do for the remainder of this season. 350 00:14:58,428 --> 00:15:01,308 Speaker 7: And Obj got signed to this huge contract. No people 351 00:15:01,348 --> 00:15:02,828 Speaker 7: rolled their eyes. They're like, all right, I don't even 352 00:15:02,828 --> 00:15:03,748 Speaker 7: know if there was a market for this. 353 00:15:04,388 --> 00:15:05,348 Speaker 2: He chose that deal. 354 00:15:05,228 --> 00:15:08,068 Speaker 7: Over one that the Rams were offering for less, and 355 00:15:08,148 --> 00:15:09,908 Speaker 7: he went to the Ravens and he's like, all right, 356 00:15:09,948 --> 00:15:11,548 Speaker 7: I'll go to the if you want the highest bidder, 357 00:15:11,548 --> 00:15:14,108 Speaker 7: but also a team that might have a better chance 358 00:15:14,148 --> 00:15:16,348 Speaker 7: to win this season. I think Odell is gonna be fine. 359 00:15:16,388 --> 00:15:17,548 Speaker 7: I think say Flower's. 360 00:15:17,228 --> 00:15:17,628 Speaker 2: Gonna be fine. 361 00:15:17,628 --> 00:15:19,388 Speaker 7: I think the passing game is gonna be fine. Yeah, 362 00:15:19,428 --> 00:15:22,588 Speaker 7: Mark Andrews went down and Todd Munkin and John Arbaugh 363 00:15:22,588 --> 00:15:23,788 Speaker 7: had a chance to get in the lab for a 364 00:15:23,828 --> 00:15:25,788 Speaker 7: week while they were on the by I'm gonna go 365 00:15:25,828 --> 00:15:28,028 Speaker 7: with Baltimore on this one, but I love the fact 366 00:15:28,028 --> 00:15:30,508 Speaker 7: that Odell is it revenge against the Rams. No, he 367 00:15:30,548 --> 00:15:32,188 Speaker 7: wants to super Bowl with them. He loves those guys. 368 00:15:32,348 --> 00:15:33,748 Speaker 7: I think he's also going to show out against his 369 00:15:33,788 --> 00:15:34,588 Speaker 7: old teammates. 370 00:15:34,308 --> 00:15:35,668 Speaker 2: Too, doing God's work to end. 371 00:15:35,668 --> 00:15:38,588 Speaker 1: The term revenge game and one of my least favorite terms, 372 00:15:38,628 --> 00:15:41,068 Speaker 1: one of the most untrue, tritest, lamest things. 373 00:15:41,068 --> 00:15:43,068 Speaker 2: So good job, Odell. I didn't go with the Rams. 374 00:15:43,228 --> 00:15:45,788 Speaker 1: There was this idea that Pooka is banged up and 375 00:15:45,828 --> 00:15:48,348 Speaker 1: he's got the sprained ac joint or anything. McVeigh had 376 00:15:48,388 --> 00:15:51,188 Speaker 1: an all time quote yesterday. So mcvayh was asked in 377 00:15:51,188 --> 00:15:53,148 Speaker 1: his session about Pooka and this is a quote. 378 00:15:53,228 --> 00:15:55,548 Speaker 2: Yeah, Puka was limiting the walk through, but I don't 379 00:15:55,548 --> 00:15:56,188 Speaker 2: know what the hell. 380 00:15:56,068 --> 00:15:57,788 Speaker 1: That means because he just did everything. 381 00:15:58,308 --> 00:16:00,308 Speaker 2: No, that was his quote. 382 00:16:00,588 --> 00:16:03,068 Speaker 1: So he's like mcvah at this point. It maybe it 383 00:16:03,068 --> 00:16:04,788 Speaker 1: has to do with his his homewife right now and 384 00:16:04,828 --> 00:16:06,868 Speaker 1: the child, like he's kind of not giving a bleep 385 00:16:06,908 --> 00:16:09,308 Speaker 1: about and lives, you know what I'm saying, Like he's 386 00:16:09,308 --> 00:16:11,028 Speaker 1: just like, yeah, something about limited. 387 00:16:11,268 --> 00:16:12,428 Speaker 2: What the hell does that even mean? 388 00:16:12,788 --> 00:16:13,428 Speaker 5: I watched him. 389 00:16:13,428 --> 00:16:16,028 Speaker 1: He did everything, there was no limits. It's great we 390 00:16:16,148 --> 00:16:17,988 Speaker 1: waited for a few years for McVeigh. He's not the 391 00:16:18,068 --> 00:16:20,508 Speaker 1: young coach anymore. He's like kind of the the OG's 392 00:16:20,548 --> 00:16:21,348 Speaker 1: the super Bowl champs. 393 00:16:21,348 --> 00:16:21,508 Speaker 4: I had. 394 00:16:21,628 --> 00:16:23,788 Speaker 1: What the hell's limited even mean? Pier's pointed this out 395 00:16:23,788 --> 00:16:26,588 Speaker 1: a few times this week. Poka did the Browns twice 396 00:16:26,748 --> 00:16:28,868 Speaker 1: on long runs. One got called back, the everyone was 397 00:16:28,868 --> 00:16:31,868 Speaker 1: a thirty one yard run. Both times it worked really well. 398 00:16:31,988 --> 00:16:33,668 Speaker 1: I think they'll hit him again with the run. I 399 00:16:33,708 --> 00:16:35,908 Speaker 1: think Puka and Cooper are gonna go big. 400 00:16:35,948 --> 00:16:36,708 Speaker 2: I like this game. 401 00:16:36,868 --> 00:16:39,788 Speaker 1: It is in most leagues week one of fantasy playoffs, 402 00:16:40,108 --> 00:16:43,628 Speaker 1: and you people who like me who picked up Pooka 403 00:16:43,708 --> 00:16:46,268 Speaker 1: off waivers like after Week one, had just been riding 404 00:16:46,308 --> 00:16:46,828 Speaker 1: him all year. 405 00:16:46,828 --> 00:16:48,748 Speaker 2: I think the right continues like run. You feel upset 406 00:16:48,788 --> 00:16:49,188 Speaker 2: on this one. 407 00:16:49,308 --> 00:16:51,628 Speaker 7: Rams Ravens. They're in Baltimore and the Rams are the 408 00:16:51,628 --> 00:16:52,908 Speaker 7: hottest team, and I think a lot of people are 409 00:16:52,908 --> 00:16:54,668 Speaker 7: picking them as like the sexy pick. But then it's 410 00:16:54,708 --> 00:16:58,028 Speaker 7: like Ravens coming off a bye who. 411 00:16:57,828 --> 00:16:59,268 Speaker 8: They have the following week Niners? 412 00:16:59,388 --> 00:17:01,908 Speaker 1: Yes, you know, I remember I felt that way about 413 00:17:01,948 --> 00:17:04,108 Speaker 1: the Broncos last week. They were on a ride and 414 00:17:04,108 --> 00:17:05,988 Speaker 1: I thought that they were going to beat Houston and 415 00:17:06,028 --> 00:17:07,908 Speaker 1: then they didn't. Baltimore homes tough. 416 00:17:08,028 --> 00:17:10,588 Speaker 6: Yeah yeah, I mean for me, I'm looking at Cup 417 00:17:10,668 --> 00:17:13,988 Speaker 6: and Nikua going up against this Ravens defense. Their pass 418 00:17:14,068 --> 00:17:17,068 Speaker 6: defense has been so good all season long. They've allowed 419 00:17:17,108 --> 00:17:20,668 Speaker 6: the fewest passing touchdowns the second few is passing yards 420 00:17:20,708 --> 00:17:23,548 Speaker 6: per game. It's been really difficult for teams, especially to 421 00:17:23,588 --> 00:17:26,628 Speaker 6: go into Baltimore and pass on them. Take a look 422 00:17:26,628 --> 00:17:29,708 Speaker 6: at what the Lions and the Seahawks did against the Ravens, 423 00:17:29,868 --> 00:17:33,388 Speaker 6: and Golf and Gino both finished with zero touchdowns and 424 00:17:33,508 --> 00:17:36,668 Speaker 6: one interception, and going into Week nine, the Seahawks were 425 00:17:36,708 --> 00:17:39,388 Speaker 6: five and two. The Seahawks lost by thirty four points. 426 00:17:39,428 --> 00:17:42,028 Speaker 6: Going into Week seven, when you guys crowned the Lions 427 00:17:42,068 --> 00:17:44,228 Speaker 6: as the best team in the NFL because everyone was 428 00:17:44,268 --> 00:17:46,148 Speaker 6: doing that at that point five and one, they lost 429 00:17:46,148 --> 00:17:48,908 Speaker 6: by thirty two points. So by default, I'm going to 430 00:17:48,988 --> 00:17:52,228 Speaker 6: go with Obj and ze Flowers. I do feel like 431 00:17:52,388 --> 00:17:55,508 Speaker 6: Puka and Cup were kind of matchup proof, but this 432 00:17:55,628 --> 00:17:57,108 Speaker 6: Ravens defense is really really good. 433 00:17:57,228 --> 00:17:58,188 Speaker 5: Quickly correct ourselves. 434 00:17:58,188 --> 00:18:00,188 Speaker 2: They played the Jaguars first, then they played the Niners. 435 00:18:00,228 --> 00:18:03,148 Speaker 7: Ah, that's it, that's it's too teams come. 436 00:18:03,268 --> 00:18:06,588 Speaker 8: They have a really tough skifle the rest of the way. Yesterday, guys, 437 00:18:06,668 --> 00:18:07,748 Speaker 8: Robert sala He. 438 00:18:07,748 --> 00:18:11,068 Speaker 6: Announced that they are turning back to Zach Wilson at 439 00:18:11,148 --> 00:18:13,628 Speaker 6: quarterback for the Jets. So another twist in what's been 440 00:18:13,668 --> 00:18:16,228 Speaker 6: an absolute roller coaster of a season in New York. 441 00:18:16,268 --> 00:18:18,268 Speaker 8: Who has more at stake this weekend? 442 00:18:18,788 --> 00:18:21,028 Speaker 6: Zach Wilson or Justin Fields? 443 00:18:21,108 --> 00:18:21,468 Speaker 8: Jason. 444 00:18:21,508 --> 00:18:23,588 Speaker 3: I'm gonna go with Justin Fields on this one. I 445 00:18:23,628 --> 00:18:27,108 Speaker 3: think as the season finishes out, the play of Justin 446 00:18:27,148 --> 00:18:29,588 Speaker 3: Fields is connection with Dj Moore, how he runs offense, 447 00:18:29,668 --> 00:18:33,668 Speaker 3: all of those things will dictate offseason decisions. On the 448 00:18:33,748 --> 00:18:35,948 Speaker 3: other hand, I look at Zach Wilson. I think whatever 449 00:18:35,988 --> 00:18:37,908 Speaker 3: decision the Jets are going to make in the offseason, 450 00:18:38,028 --> 00:18:40,628 Speaker 3: those are already made. They're already in that process. For 451 00:18:40,708 --> 00:18:42,748 Speaker 3: Zach Wilson, I look at it as I remember being 452 00:18:42,788 --> 00:18:45,308 Speaker 3: in Cleveland. We had gotten to double digit games, so 453 00:18:45,348 --> 00:18:47,308 Speaker 3: that means we had lost double digit games at that 454 00:18:47,388 --> 00:18:50,148 Speaker 3: point in twenty seventeen. I remember standing out there in 455 00:18:50,148 --> 00:18:53,028 Speaker 3: the pregame speech and saying to the guys, at this point, 456 00:18:53,228 --> 00:18:55,108 Speaker 3: played for the little kid that grew up in Pop 457 00:18:55,148 --> 00:18:57,748 Speaker 3: Warner and just loved the game of football. For Zach 458 00:18:57,788 --> 00:19:00,148 Speaker 3: Wilson who out didn't have a blast, that helped with 459 00:19:00,268 --> 00:19:03,068 Speaker 3: the fans bulling or what anybody else has to say 460 00:19:03,308 --> 00:19:05,788 Speaker 3: about your play or rumors are this, that, and the 461 00:19:05,828 --> 00:19:08,268 Speaker 3: third you grew up as a little kid playing the 462 00:19:08,268 --> 00:19:11,228 Speaker 3: game of football, dreaming about being in the NFL and 463 00:19:11,268 --> 00:19:13,708 Speaker 3: having an opportunity to just go out there and compete, 464 00:19:14,028 --> 00:19:16,948 Speaker 3: and you get that you're the starter again. Go out there, 465 00:19:17,148 --> 00:19:20,268 Speaker 3: have a blast, let it lose. The hell with everything else, 466 00:19:20,308 --> 00:19:23,588 Speaker 3: those decisions, next year, future, all of those things probably 467 00:19:23,588 --> 00:19:25,788 Speaker 3: not gonna change in these last few games. Go out 468 00:19:25,788 --> 00:19:27,308 Speaker 3: there and just play a game of football for the 469 00:19:27,308 --> 00:19:27,668 Speaker 3: love of it. 470 00:19:27,788 --> 00:19:30,068 Speaker 7: The ANSWER's fields who's got more at stake? Because of 471 00:19:30,108 --> 00:19:32,788 Speaker 7: the obvious draft position that Chicago's gonna be, and they're 472 00:19:32,788 --> 00:19:35,108 Speaker 7: gonna have Carolina's pick, and they're gonna have Chicago's pick. 473 00:19:35,108 --> 00:19:39,028 Speaker 7: What suddenly becomes interesting is the Jets went from being like, oh, 474 00:19:39,028 --> 00:19:41,108 Speaker 7: they'll have a pick in the teens to they have 475 00:19:41,188 --> 00:19:42,508 Speaker 7: a pick in the early teens. 476 00:19:43,468 --> 00:19:45,028 Speaker 2: If the draft was tomorrow. 477 00:19:44,708 --> 00:19:47,148 Speaker 7: The Jets would have the sixth pick. With what we 478 00:19:47,228 --> 00:19:49,548 Speaker 7: know of Aaron Rodgers and how he's probably got one 479 00:19:49,548 --> 00:19:51,908 Speaker 7: more year left. But we also know that Aaron Rodgers 480 00:19:51,948 --> 00:19:54,708 Speaker 7: likes to have his guys and likes to get his protected. Yeah, 481 00:19:54,828 --> 00:19:59,388 Speaker 7: how would Aaron Rodgers react if the Jets took a quarterback? 482 00:19:59,908 --> 00:20:02,628 Speaker 2: After we know how we reacted when the Packers. 483 00:20:02,228 --> 00:20:04,268 Speaker 5: Drafted a quarterback? What he felt he was that close? 484 00:20:04,308 --> 00:20:05,708 Speaker 3: Like there's simply because. 485 00:20:05,548 --> 00:20:07,508 Speaker 7: This way, like I don't think Zach Wilson's gonna be 486 00:20:07,508 --> 00:20:09,868 Speaker 7: the Jets future. I think that's fair to say that 487 00:20:09,988 --> 00:20:12,748 Speaker 7: this is the last ride for Zach and play loose, 488 00:20:12,788 --> 00:20:14,908 Speaker 7: have fun or whatever. But if the Jets continue to 489 00:20:14,948 --> 00:20:17,748 Speaker 7: lose games and they're suddenly in that top three, do 490 00:20:17,828 --> 00:20:20,988 Speaker 7: the Jets consider a quarterback when they have all of 491 00:20:21,028 --> 00:20:23,348 Speaker 7: these needs, that offensive line and that we want to 492 00:20:23,348 --> 00:20:26,108 Speaker 7: get Rogers a Super Bowl ring? But that's what becomes 493 00:20:26,108 --> 00:20:28,708 Speaker 7: fascinating to me. Did the Jets suddenly insert themselves and they. 494 00:20:28,948 --> 00:20:30,668 Speaker 8: Have to draft seasons coming up? 495 00:20:30,788 --> 00:20:32,788 Speaker 2: It's probably smart to take the quarter you have to. 496 00:20:32,868 --> 00:20:34,388 Speaker 1: You're gonna get one year out of Rogers and then 497 00:20:34,388 --> 00:20:37,588 Speaker 1: you have nothing. But if you really like that one year, 498 00:20:37,988 --> 00:20:42,748 Speaker 1: you know the answer is objectively, it's fields. Here's what's 499 00:20:42,788 --> 00:20:45,708 Speaker 1: at stake with Fields. I think Justin Fields is great 500 00:20:45,788 --> 00:20:47,388 Speaker 1: this weekend and beats the Lions. 501 00:20:47,708 --> 00:20:49,988 Speaker 2: That could be it. The Bears in their mind could 502 00:20:49,988 --> 00:20:50,868 Speaker 2: be like, we're gonna stick with. 503 00:20:50,908 --> 00:20:54,428 Speaker 1: Justin this year, which means which entails the Bears are 504 00:20:54,428 --> 00:20:56,988 Speaker 1: on the clock. If the Panthers finish the things, then 505 00:20:56,988 --> 00:20:59,388 Speaker 1: the Bears will have the number one overall pick, and 506 00:20:59,468 --> 00:21:01,908 Speaker 1: someone in that organization would have to have the stones 507 00:21:01,948 --> 00:21:04,628 Speaker 1: to say we are not gonna draft the quarterback for 508 00:21:04,708 --> 00:21:06,548 Speaker 1: the second year in a row. We're gonna not use 509 00:21:06,548 --> 00:21:08,548 Speaker 1: that pick for a quarterback. We're gonna stick with Justin. 510 00:21:08,868 --> 00:21:11,468 Speaker 1: On the other hand, he can make up their mind 511 00:21:11,508 --> 00:21:13,748 Speaker 1: the opposite way this weekend, like it could be that big. 512 00:21:13,748 --> 00:21:15,708 Speaker 1: They lose in another divisional game, he's not great, he throws 513 00:21:15,748 --> 00:21:17,068 Speaker 1: a couple of picks, they lose, They could be like, 514 00:21:17,148 --> 00:21:17,508 Speaker 1: that's it. 515 00:21:17,588 --> 00:21:18,428 Speaker 2: I think we've seen it enough. 516 00:21:18,468 --> 00:21:19,028 Speaker 5: I just don't know. 517 00:21:19,148 --> 00:21:21,708 Speaker 1: I think he's playing for everything over the next several weeks. 518 00:21:21,948 --> 00:21:23,988 Speaker 2: I don't know what Zach Wilson's playing for. 519 00:21:24,108 --> 00:21:26,188 Speaker 7: It's crazy with Fields because he's now going into his 520 00:21:26,188 --> 00:21:28,068 Speaker 7: fourth year next year, and it's like, not only is 521 00:21:28,108 --> 00:21:29,988 Speaker 7: it is he our guy? When you're at that point, 522 00:21:30,028 --> 00:21:32,428 Speaker 7: in your career, you get a giant contract extension, So like, 523 00:21:32,468 --> 00:21:35,348 Speaker 7: are the Bears gonna pass on to quarterbacks? 524 00:21:35,388 --> 00:21:39,388 Speaker 2: Not only we keep them and we have a rookie 525 00:21:39,468 --> 00:21:40,468 Speaker 2: usc all of that. 526 00:21:40,548 --> 00:21:42,588 Speaker 3: We got a rookie contract and be able to build 527 00:21:42,628 --> 00:21:44,068 Speaker 3: around it for the next few years. 528 00:21:44,068 --> 00:21:46,628 Speaker 1: And there's base fans where like you'd spend the number 529 00:21:46,628 --> 00:21:48,388 Speaker 1: one pick on Marvin Harrison's ju and you're like, you're 530 00:21:48,388 --> 00:21:50,628 Speaker 1: gonna span a wide receiver and then traded again. 531 00:21:50,748 --> 00:21:51,308 Speaker 2: Are you traded? 532 00:21:51,628 --> 00:21:52,268 Speaker 8: You trade back. 533 00:21:54,148 --> 00:21:55,988 Speaker 1: Or you just take the quarterback and be like, sorry, dude, 534 00:21:55,988 --> 00:21:58,388 Speaker 1: we gave you three years for that organization. 535 00:21:58,588 --> 00:22:01,908 Speaker 6: For the Bears, like, they have so many big decisions 536 00:22:01,948 --> 00:22:05,628 Speaker 6: to make that will absolutely change the course of the future. 537 00:22:05,748 --> 00:22:09,068 Speaker 6: With if the Panthers continue on this course, yeah, they'll 538 00:22:09,068 --> 00:22:11,668 Speaker 6: have the number one overall pick and the fifth overall pick. 539 00:22:11,708 --> 00:22:12,908 Speaker 8: That's where they're slotted right now. 540 00:22:12,988 --> 00:22:17,108 Speaker 6: So you could continue to build around Justin Fields, or 541 00:22:17,828 --> 00:22:20,508 Speaker 6: you could blow it all up start over again. But 542 00:22:20,748 --> 00:22:24,748 Speaker 6: these next five games are so crucial because sure they 543 00:22:24,788 --> 00:22:27,588 Speaker 6: may already have their decision made up, but Justin Fields 544 00:22:27,628 --> 00:22:29,428 Speaker 6: could change their mind just looking. 545 00:22:29,228 --> 00:22:31,348 Speaker 8: At what they have next. Obviously, they play. 546 00:22:31,148 --> 00:22:34,228 Speaker 6: The Lions this week, then they have the Browns, they 547 00:22:34,268 --> 00:22:37,548 Speaker 6: have the Cardinals, the Falcons, and the Packers. 548 00:22:37,708 --> 00:22:40,068 Speaker 8: So it's just when you see. 549 00:22:39,788 --> 00:22:43,148 Speaker 6: All of the pressure that Justin Fields is under, I 550 00:22:43,268 --> 00:22:46,148 Speaker 6: wonder if he can, as you mentioned, just like go. 551 00:22:46,228 --> 00:22:48,988 Speaker 8: Out there play his game, be loose. 552 00:22:49,068 --> 00:22:51,628 Speaker 6: It's tough because you just don't know where you're going 553 00:22:51,628 --> 00:22:54,148 Speaker 6: to be next season, and these games can dictate it. 554 00:22:54,348 --> 00:22:55,068 Speaker 8: So that's that. 555 00:23:07,188 --> 00:23:12,268 Speaker 6: Good morning, fall Arnick Guest played twelve seasons in the NFL. 556 00:23:12,308 --> 00:23:15,148 Speaker 6: He's a two time pro bowler and a former Walter 557 00:23:15,268 --> 00:23:18,348 Speaker 6: Peyton Man of the Year nominee.

Tell us how 587 00:24:38,988 --> 00:24:42,388 Speaker 7: important the community involvement was when you played, and how 588 00:24:42,388 --> 00:24:45,188 Speaker 7: it's impacted your life now that you are a former player. 589 00:24:45,468 --> 00:24:49,068 Speaker 10: Well, that's exactly it, Peter. You know, for me personally, 590 00:24:49,388 --> 00:24:51,948 Speaker 10: I knew my time as a player as a tight 591 00:24:52,068 --> 00:24:54,308 Speaker 10: end in the NFL was going to come to an end. 592 00:24:54,388 --> 00:24:56,948 Speaker 10: The NFL was around far before I got there, and 593 00:24:56,988 --> 00:24:59,108 Speaker 10: it's going to be there long after I played. But 594 00:24:59,188 --> 00:25:01,188 Speaker 10: to me, it was about the legacy that I'm able 595 00:25:01,228 --> 00:25:03,548 Speaker 10: to leave in the communities that I played in, and 596 00:25:03,708 --> 00:25:06,548 Speaker 10: I think for me it was Look, I haven't eve 597 00:25:06,548 --> 00:25:08,988 Speaker 10: been out of Minnesota for three years, and yet they 598 00:25:08,988 --> 00:25:11,788 Speaker 10: already have another Pro Bowl tight end. They're doing way 599 00:25:11,828 --> 00:25:14,308 Speaker 10: better than I did when I was there. So football 600 00:25:14,348 --> 00:25:17,228 Speaker 10: will always be there. But the legacy that you're able 601 00:25:17,268 --> 00:25:19,908 Speaker 10: to create off of the field, that's what it was 602 00:25:19,948 --> 00:25:22,068 Speaker 10: about for me. And now that I'm a former player, 603 00:25:22,308 --> 00:25:25,028 Speaker 10: I still can lean on that. That's still a part 604 00:25:25,108 --> 00:25:27,548 Speaker 10: of who I am, and that doesn't lead just because 605 00:25:27,588 --> 00:25:30,308 Speaker 10: now I'm former Minnesota Vikings tight end. 606 00:25:30,748 --> 00:25:34,388 Speaker 3: Well, said Kyle in that same vein a few years back, 607 00:25:34,428 --> 00:25:37,748 Speaker 3: you start a fundraising platform called All True, which helps 608 00:25:37,788 --> 00:25:41,028 Speaker 3: current Walter Payton Man of the Year nominees raise additional 609 00:25:41,068 --> 00:25:43,148 Speaker 3: funds for their charities.

Yes, exactly. 649 00:27:39,148 --> 00:27:42,068 Speaker 6: So, Kyle, when I think of when I think of you, 650 00:27:42,108 --> 00:27:45,228 Speaker 6: I think of the Vikings. It's just you two are synonymous. 651 00:27:45,268 --> 00:27:48,068 Speaker 6: So this current Vikings team, I know you have plenty 652 00:27:48,108 --> 00:27:51,468 Speaker 6: of opinions. So I just want to start with Kirk Cousins, 653 00:27:51,548 --> 00:27:54,348 Speaker 6: who went down with the season ending injury. You have 654 00:27:54,468 --> 00:27:56,668 Speaker 6: obviously played with him, you have history with him, you 655 00:27:56,708 --> 00:27:59,228 Speaker 6: know him well, you know that organization really well. So 656 00:27:59,308 --> 00:28:02,188 Speaker 6: what do you think the future holds for Kirk Cousins. 657 00:28:02,588 --> 00:28:06,828 Speaker 10: Well, I think you know that Kirk's age, the nature 658 00:28:06,868 --> 00:28:09,628 Speaker 10: of the injury. Modern medicine is incredible. I think we're 659 00:28:09,668 --> 00:28:12,588 Speaker 10: seeing it right now with Aaron Rodgers. Certainly, I understand 660 00:28:12,628 --> 00:28:14,788 Speaker 10: there was a different procedure or a different approach to 661 00:28:14,828 --> 00:28:17,988 Speaker 10: the rehab, but he's proven that it doesn't matter. We've 662 00:28:17,988 --> 00:28:20,468 Speaker 10: seen a lot of people have this injury around this 663 00:28:20,588 --> 00:28:23,228 Speaker 10: time and their career and they come back. Especially for 664 00:28:23,308 --> 00:28:26,468 Speaker 10: someone who's a pocket passer, you know, this really won't 665 00:28:26,468 --> 00:28:29,028 Speaker 10: affect Kirk's style of play all that much. 666 00:28:29,508 --> 00:28:30,268 Speaker 2: In my opinion. 667 00:28:30,308 --> 00:28:31,268 Speaker 5: The biggest thing that's. 668 00:28:31,148 --> 00:28:33,948 Speaker 10: Going to determine Kirk's future moving forward with the Minnesota 669 00:28:33,988 --> 00:28:37,708 Speaker 10: Vikings is the market. This is a guy quarterbacks are 670 00:28:37,748 --> 00:28:39,708 Speaker 10: hard to find, and he's a really good one, and 671 00:28:39,828 --> 00:28:41,948 Speaker 10: he's able to hit the open market. It's going to 672 00:28:41,948 --> 00:28:44,148 Speaker 10: be completely up to him whether, you know, he has 673 00:28:44,228 --> 00:28:46,988 Speaker 10: the opportunity to cash in one more time through the 674 00:28:47,068 --> 00:28:49,508 Speaker 10: end of his career, or if he ultimately decides that 675 00:28:49,628 --> 00:28:51,588 Speaker 10: Minnesota is the place that I want to stay, the 676 00:28:51,628 --> 00:28:53,628 Speaker 10: place that I want to finish my career. I think 677 00:28:53,708 --> 00:28:55,668 Speaker 10: ultimately they'll have to be maybe a little bit more 678 00:28:55,708 --> 00:28:57,708 Speaker 10: of a team friendly deal because they have a pretty 679 00:28:57,708 --> 00:28:59,908 Speaker 10: good wide receiver there that needs to be paid, and 680 00:29:00,028 --> 00:29:02,708 Speaker 10: also a pretty good left tackle. That contract is coming 681 00:29:02,788 --> 00:29:05,028 Speaker 10: up here soon as well, so there's only so many 682 00:29:05,068 --> 00:29:07,108 Speaker 10: dollars to go around. And they've got a lot of 683 00:29:07,148 --> 00:29:08,348 Speaker 10: really good young players on that. 684 00:29:08,348 --> 00:29:11,268 Speaker 6: Roster, and we'll see that pretty good wide receiver hopefully 685 00:29:11,428 --> 00:29:15,188 Speaker 6: this someday. Justin Jefferson coming back and finally having a 686 00:29:15,228 --> 00:29:18,548 Speaker 6: game with Josh Dobbs at the quarterback position. So a 687 00:29:18,588 --> 00:29:21,028 Speaker 6: lot to look forward to if you are a Vikings fan. 688 00:29:21,108 --> 00:29:24,188 Speaker 6: Thank you so much for coming on, mister Rudolph.

Now. 706 00:30:03,108 --> 00:30:05,548 Speaker 11: I know that Tyreek Kill is getting out there and 707 00:30:05,548 --> 00:30:08,428 Speaker 11: getting all that MVP conversation. But you, Kyle know as 708 00:30:08,428 --> 00:30:11,948 Speaker 11: well as everybody this isn't like mister Perfect out there 709 00:30:11,988 --> 00:30:15,268 Speaker 11: throwing the pass to himself, which was perfectly replicated by 710 00:30:15,308 --> 00:30:17,708 Speaker 11: you and Kirk Cousins. I might add, but listen to 711 00:30:17,828 --> 00:30:20,188 Speaker 11: us had at least three touchdowns in two of his 712 00:30:20,268 --> 00:30:22,868 Speaker 11: last three games. He's had seven games with at least 713 00:30:22,868 --> 00:30:26,628 Speaker 11: two hundred and eighty passing yards. Miami is averaging close 714 00:30:26,668 --> 00:30:28,868 Speaker 11: to forty yards per game. If you're sitting there and 715 00:30:28,868 --> 00:30:31,908 Speaker 11: you're wondering if you should start two instead of Patrick Mahomes, 716 00:30:31,948 --> 00:30:32,508 Speaker 11: I would say. 717 00:30:32,468 --> 00:30:36,588 Speaker 3: Yes, Oh tell them who Adam. Everyone in Fantasy Fight 718 00:30:36,628 --> 00:30:39,668 Speaker 3: Club knows that what they'll sacrifice, we have nothing. 719 00:30:39,908 --> 00:30:41,108 Speaker 8: Give us an under. 720 00:30:40,908 --> 00:30:43,668 Speaker 3: The radar player who you think will light it up 721 00:30:43,668 --> 00:30:44,428 Speaker 3: in Week fourteen. 722 00:30:45,788 --> 00:30:48,028 Speaker 11: You know what I'm gonna go with with somebody play 723 00:30:48,068 --> 00:30:50,188 Speaker 11: for your former team is Szekil Elliott, And I know 724 00:30:50,268 --> 00:30:52,548 Speaker 11: this game tonight is going to be about as empty 725 00:30:52,588 --> 00:30:55,348 Speaker 11: as Jillians when Jason, when you're out there doing remotes 726 00:30:55,388 --> 00:30:56,948 Speaker 11: for the local WEEI. 727 00:30:57,028 --> 00:30:57,748 Speaker 5: But here's my thing. 728 00:30:57,908 --> 00:30:58,348 Speaker 2: Awesome. 729 00:30:58,508 --> 00:31:02,428 Speaker 11: I love the opportunity for is Zekiel Elliott here all right, 730 00:31:02,508 --> 00:31:04,828 Speaker 11: don't they going to don't listen during the break? I 731 00:31:05,068 --> 00:31:07,588 Speaker 11: love the opportunity for him everything. He's at at least 732 00:31:07,588 --> 00:31:10,588 Speaker 11: twenty one touches. He had twenty more touches last week. 733 00:31:10,588 --> 00:31:12,868 Speaker 11: In Week thirteen, he's at least ten Fantasy points in 734 00:31:12,948 --> 00:31:15,268 Speaker 11: two out of his last three games. He's scoring up 735 00:31:15,268 --> 00:31:17,268 Speaker 11: against the Pittsburgh Steelers, who just gave up a lot 736 00:31:17,308 --> 00:31:19,908 Speaker 11: of production to James Connor. So I know, like this 737 00:31:19,988 --> 00:31:22,148 Speaker 11: is again, this is not going to be a pretty game. 738 00:31:22,348 --> 00:31:24,108 Speaker 11: This is not one that we're gonna remember for a 739 00:31:24,148 --> 00:31:26,428 Speaker 11: long time. But I think that Ezekiel Elliott can have 740 00:31:26,508 --> 00:31:29,348 Speaker 11: a great night on Thursday, Adam. 741 00:31:29,428 --> 00:31:31,068 Speaker 7: I love that you're listening in the break, and we 742 00:31:31,148 --> 00:31:32,748 Speaker 7: love listening to you during the show. 743 00:31:32,868 --> 00:31:35,188 Speaker 2: It's either fight or go home this week. 744 00:31:35,668 --> 00:31:38,188 Speaker 7: Give us a receiver you believe will lay it all 745 00:31:38,188 --> 00:31:38,788 Speaker 7: on the line. 746 00:31:38,908 --> 00:31:41,748 Speaker 11: For Week fourteen, you know, I'm going to go with 747 00:31:41,908 --> 00:31:43,708 Speaker 11: two two at well, which I know is going to 748 00:31:43,788 --> 00:31:46,068 Speaker 11: go against a lot of the conventional wisdom. 749 00:31:46,268 --> 00:31:48,628 Speaker 5: You know, these people out there that are bruising. 750 00:31:48,188 --> 00:31:51,308 Speaker 11: The IKEA catalog living, these mundane lives are going to 751 00:31:51,348 --> 00:31:53,308 Speaker 11: look at the Marcus Robinson and think that that's a 752 00:31:53,348 --> 00:31:55,508 Speaker 11: great play. But listen, we don't want to chase the herd. 753 00:31:55,748 --> 00:31:57,028 Speaker 11: You don't want to be one of those sheep. You 754 00:31:57,068 --> 00:31:59,308 Speaker 11: want to go out there and stand out on your own. 755 00:31:59,348 --> 00:31:59,468 Speaker 1: Now. 756 00:31:59,468 --> 00:32:00,908 Speaker 5: I know that his snaps were down. 757 00:32:00,748 --> 00:32:03,548 Speaker 11: But Sean mcminnay just said to Loos it was a 758 00:32:03,548 --> 00:32:04,308 Speaker 11: hot hand sit you. 759 00:32:04,668 --> 00:32:06,068 Speaker 5: They went with de Marcus Robinson. 760 00:32:06,108 --> 00:32:09,068 Speaker 11: But now with Cooper Cup and Pooka and Akua both 761 00:32:09,108 --> 00:32:12,628 Speaker 11: battling injuries and what is perceived as a tough matchup, 762 00:32:12,668 --> 00:32:14,548 Speaker 11: I think that TO two at well could go out 763 00:32:14,548 --> 00:32:15,588 Speaker 11: there and as an. 764 00:32:15,508 --> 00:32:17,628 Speaker 5: Opportunity to get into the end zone. 765 00:32:17,708 --> 00:32:20,068 Speaker 11: So this is probably more of a DFS play for you. 766 00:32:20,388 --> 00:32:22,388 Speaker 11: But TO two as well is somebody that I'm watching 767 00:32:22,428 --> 00:32:22,828 Speaker 11: this week. 768 00:32:23,148 --> 00:32:25,668 Speaker 8: Okay, all right, Ryan, what up? Listen? 769 00:32:25,988 --> 00:32:28,988 Speaker 6: I need a reliable tight end, someone who is going 770 00:32:29,068 --> 00:32:32,068 Speaker 6: to go to work with a lunch pail, get the 771 00:32:32,148 --> 00:32:33,188 Speaker 6: hands dirty. 772 00:32:32,988 --> 00:32:34,908 Speaker 8: Do all of it. Who do you think for this weekend? 773 00:32:35,068 --> 00:32:37,188 Speaker 11: Well, I got my eye on Dalton Schultz. Now, last 774 00:32:37,228 --> 00:32:40,228 Speaker 11: week he was obviously inactive. He was battling a hamstring injury. 775 00:32:40,268 --> 00:32:43,708 Speaker 11: He's returned on a limited basis. This is something that 776 00:32:44,148 --> 00:32:45,468 Speaker 11: we're going to monitor over the. 777 00:32:45,428 --> 00:32:47,508 Speaker 5: Next couple of days, so keep an eye out for him. 778 00:32:47,548 --> 00:32:49,948 Speaker 11: But this is a great opportunity going up against the 779 00:32:49,988 --> 00:32:52,828 Speaker 11: New York Jets. Last week gave up a touchdown to 780 00:32:52,908 --> 00:32:55,908 Speaker 11: that Falcons tight end, as Michael Prude. It wasn't Kyle Fitz, 781 00:32:55,988 --> 00:32:58,828 Speaker 11: but still they give up a lot of production to. 782 00:32:58,748 --> 00:33:01,988 Speaker 5: The opposing tight ends. And here's the thing. If Dalton 783 00:33:01,988 --> 00:33:04,508 Speaker 5: Schultz is unable to go, Brevin Jordan is actually a 784 00:33:04,628 --> 00:33:05,788 Speaker 5: great play, you know. 785 00:33:05,828 --> 00:33:07,388 Speaker 11: And this is the thing you know your first night 786 00:33:07,428 --> 00:33:08,708 Speaker 11: at fight club, you gotta fight. 787 00:33:09,228 --> 00:33:11,428 Speaker 5: Last week, that's exactly what Brevin Jordan did. 788 00:33:11,468 --> 00:33:13,468 Speaker 11: So I think this is a good opportunity for any 789 00:33:13,588 --> 00:33:16,068 Speaker 11: Textings tight end against the New York That's let's take 790 00:33:16,068 --> 00:33:17,508 Speaker 11: a look at these picks one more time. To a 791 00:33:17,548 --> 00:33:19,628 Speaker 11: tongue of isollone for a lot of people who've been 792 00:33:19,668 --> 00:33:23,388 Speaker 11: struggling at the quarterback position, quietly quietly having a great 793 00:33:23,388 --> 00:33:24,188 Speaker 11: fantasy season. 794 00:33:24,188 --> 00:33:25,108 Speaker 5: Ezekiel Elliott. 795 00:33:25,428 --> 00:33:30,268 Speaker 11: Opportunity against the Steelers not great to two at well. Again, 796 00:33:30,428 --> 00:33:33,028 Speaker 11: the Rams wide receivers are difficult to project, but we 797 00:33:33,148 --> 00:33:34,948 Speaker 11: love to two at well in this one at Dalton 798 00:33:34,988 --> 00:33:38,628 Speaker 11: Schultz ramding it out, especially with Trey McBride out this week. 799 00:33:38,988 --> 00:33:41,428 Speaker 1: I am Adam Ranks, beautiful mind and you know what, 800 00:33:41,588 --> 00:33:43,148 Speaker 1: plays Zeke. It's fun to have a guy in the 801 00:33:43,148 --> 00:33:45,348 Speaker 1: fithhday night and we always say it. The odds are 802 00:33:45,348 --> 00:33:47,028 Speaker 1: in favor of him to get that first touchdown. We 803 00:33:47,028 --> 00:33:49,308 Speaker 1: even showed it ranking the best. We love you, We'll 804 00:33:49,308 --> 00:33:51,908 Speaker 1: see you next week, and great scenior as always. 805 00:33:52,748 --> 00:33:56,148 Speaker 6: Week fourteen kicks off tonight in Pittsburgh, where the Mitch 806 00:33:56,228 --> 00:34:00,748 Speaker 6: Trubisky led Steelers take on Barely is Happy and the 807 00:34:00,788 --> 00:34:03,948 Speaker 6: Patriots and so. Among all of the storylines heading into 808 00:34:03,988 --> 00:34:06,388 Speaker 6: this game, the one that's getting the most attention is 809 00:34:06,428 --> 00:34:09,308 Speaker 6: the historically low point total given by the odds. 810 00:34:08,988 --> 00:34:10,948 Speaker 8: Makers at thirty points. 811 00:34:10,988 --> 00:34:13,708 Speaker 6: It's not only the lowest we've ever seen the season, 812 00:34:13,828 --> 00:34:15,868 Speaker 6: but it's also the lowest since at least two. 813 00:34:15,868 --> 00:34:16,788 Speaker 8: Thousand and eight. 814 00:34:17,148 --> 00:34:19,068 Speaker 6: So with that mind, we thought we'd, you know, do 815 00:34:19,188 --> 00:34:22,148 Speaker 6: some little over unders here for tonight's game. Let's start 816 00:34:22,188 --> 00:34:25,628 Speaker 6: here with the number of angry Bill Belichick shots with 817 00:34:25,708 --> 00:34:29,308 Speaker 6: the over under of point five fallen over under. 818 00:34:29,748 --> 00:34:32,668 Speaker 3: I'm definitely going over on that one. We're gonna see 819 00:34:32,708 --> 00:34:34,748 Speaker 3: probably quite a few of them, just because that's his 820 00:34:34,948 --> 00:34:37,708 Speaker 3: natural face. Sal I'm going over on that one. On 821 00:34:37,748 --> 00:34:39,508 Speaker 3: the angry Bill Belichick. 822 00:34:39,068 --> 00:34:40,908 Speaker 8: Place five, resting Bill face. 823 00:34:41,148 --> 00:34:41,948 Speaker 2: That's Bill face. 824 00:34:42,108 --> 00:34:44,108 Speaker 8: That's what it is. Huh Okay. 825 00:34:44,108 --> 00:34:46,668 Speaker 6: Next up, we got all the new England quarterback issues. 826 00:34:46,708 --> 00:34:48,468 Speaker 6: There's a lot you have to imagine Tom Brady is 827 00:34:48,508 --> 00:34:50,508 Speaker 6: going to be brought up at least once or twice 828 00:34:50,548 --> 00:34:53,268 Speaker 6: in this broadcast. So over under four and a half 829 00:34:53,428 --> 00:34:55,708 Speaker 6: mentions of Brady during tonight's game. 830 00:34:55,708 --> 00:34:58,348 Speaker 7: Peter, I'm gonna say under, and I'm gonna say under 831 00:34:58,588 --> 00:35:01,348 Speaker 7: five times a lot. Amazon has no connection to Brady. 832 00:35:01,388 --> 00:35:04,268 Speaker 7: They're pushing their own Guy Fitzpatrick.
