1 00:00:02,000 --> 00:00:04,720 Speaker 1: Welcome in What's Driving the Great Episode three seventy five. 2 00:00:04,800 --> 00:00:07,320 Speaker 1: This episode of What's Right When the GRD is brought 3 00:00:07,360 --> 00:00:11,520 Speaker 1: to you by our friends at boost Mobile. We're a 4 00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:15,600 Speaker 1: little delayed today because there have been a lot of 5 00:00:15,680 --> 00:00:19,840 Speaker 1: forces that have been trying to tell me I maybe 6 00:00:19,880 --> 00:00:22,880 Speaker 1: shouldn't do this show today, but it feels like it'd 7 00:00:22,880 --> 00:00:28,040 Speaker 1: be a cop out. Force one demons. Today's actually the 8 00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:33,200 Speaker 1: rare October day off from work because there's no TV 9 00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:37,720 Speaker 1: show today, so I could have And Tuesdays, which is today, 10 00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:42,000 Speaker 1: are the day of the really big card game in 11 00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:44,800 Speaker 1: Philly that I sometimes in the summer like to go 12 00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:48,160 Speaker 1: play in but can never during the football regular season. 13 00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:50,559 Speaker 1: So that was reason one that I could have been 14 00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:53,840 Speaker 1: like not doing the show. Reason two, I got a 15 00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:59,120 Speaker 1: phone call yesterday from Spectrum saying they're redoing the internet 16 00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:02,200 Speaker 1: on this block and there's gonna be like an eight 17 00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:07,200 Speaker 1: hour period where the TV and internet and everything doesn't work. 18 00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:12,280 Speaker 1: And I put in a very pleading request. Granted this 19 00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:16,679 Speaker 1: was before the Chiefs lost if they could somehow delay 20 00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:19,679 Speaker 1: that start of work a bit. I don't know if 21 00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:21,160 Speaker 1: they listen to me or not, but we're on the 22 00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:25,119 Speaker 1: internet right now, so it's fine. Reason three, the reason 23 00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:27,840 Speaker 1: we are late to the show is because for the 24 00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:32,360 Speaker 1: last twenty minutes my camera was just showing an old 25 00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:36,800 Speaker 1: still image not from the pod, and it was kind 26 00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:39,759 Speaker 1: of creepy because it was showing an image of when 27 00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:42,840 Speaker 1: I wasn't in the room, when the lights weren't on, 28 00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:46,240 Speaker 1: which one would make you think, how did the camera 29 00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:50,160 Speaker 1: even capture that image if the computer was closed and 30 00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:53,200 Speaker 1: the camera's supposed to be off. We troubleshot that for 31 00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:56,640 Speaker 1: twenty minutes, poor Paul was about to drive over here. 32 00:01:56,920 --> 00:01:58,680 Speaker 1: We were figuring out if we could do an audio 33 00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:01,440 Speaker 1: only thing, and then the solution was unplug it and 34 00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:07,400 Speaker 1: plug it back in. So despite all of that, I'm here. 35 00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:13,320 Speaker 1: Your mom can attest to this. I've been for the 36 00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:22,240 Speaker 1: last ten hours a little restless that loss yesterday for 37 00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:32,480 Speaker 1: reasons I will explain hit differently than any non playoff 38 00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:37,080 Speaker 1: Chiefs loss in recent memory. And it also feels a 39 00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:42,240 Speaker 1: little I'll be honest, I've lived a blessed life, so 40 00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:45,560 Speaker 1: I can't really complain too much, but it felt a 41 00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:50,840 Speaker 1: little unfair that I am not able to fully bask 42 00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:56,440 Speaker 1: in the glory of the greatest day Trevor has had 43 00:02:56,560 --> 00:03:00,280 Speaker 1: in three years, the greatest day he's had in the 44 00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:03,960 Speaker 1: NFL since you were sitting next to me on the couch, 45 00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:10,720 Speaker 1: and he was down twenty seven points to Justin Herbert 46 00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:16,840 Speaker 1: and the Chargers and came back, and certainly the best 47 00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:19,799 Speaker 1: moment he's had since he got injured on Monday Night 48 00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:21,840 Speaker 1: Football when his team was playing for the one seed. 49 00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:26,560 Speaker 1: I couldn't even enjoy that, and so we will explain that. 50 00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:28,560 Speaker 1: We will get into all of that. I am for 51 00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:32,800 Speaker 1: reasons I don't again, when I agreed to do these things, 52 00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:37,120 Speaker 1: I anticipated the Chiefs were going to win the game. 53 00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:41,640 Speaker 1: But I am doing Colin's show, my regular Tuesday spot 54 00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:46,640 Speaker 1: from here now. I'll be honest. If Spectrum cuts out 55 00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:49,840 Speaker 1: the Internet sometime between when this show ends and colin 56 00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:54,080 Speaker 1: Shows begins, it's not that I do about that. That 57 00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:59,920 Speaker 1: is not playing that I will take issue with it. 58 00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:04,880 Speaker 1: But we must forge ahn and first we gotta go 59 00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:07,680 Speaker 1: straight to voicemail. Thanks brought to you by our friends 60 00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:10,840 Speaker 1: at boost Mobile. The Yankees are down two oh to 61 00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:14,320 Speaker 1: the Jays. They've been outscored twenty three to eight, and 62 00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:18,800 Speaker 1: I do not think it is an unfair statement to 63 00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:21,640 Speaker 1: say the series has not been as close as twenty 64 00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:25,880 Speaker 1: three to eight. It has been an utter, thorough total 65 00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:31,120 Speaker 1: domination by the Toronto Blue Jays. Hockey starts tonight. I 66 00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:33,480 Speaker 1: didn't know that, so I'm finding it out right now. 67 00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:37,760 Speaker 1: And Lebron teases the second decision which is coming up 68 00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:42,239 Speaker 1: in about an hour and ten minutes, and you should 69 00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:45,000 Speaker 1: be able to use the context clues of whether or 70 00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:48,360 Speaker 1: not I think that is going to be a major 71 00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:53,200 Speaker 1: basketball career related decision, or whether or not I think 72 00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:57,000 Speaker 1: that is going to be an advertisement based on the 73 00:04:57,040 --> 00:04:59,920 Speaker 1: fact that we did not delay this pod by ninety 74 00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:04,279 Speaker 1: minutes to react to it.

I don't know 81 00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:31,880 Speaker 1: if I said ten words to either one of them. 82 00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:35,760 Speaker 1: I then just laid on the couch, which I never 83 00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:39,120 Speaker 1: do in the mornings, and tried to like take a nap. 84 00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:43,360 Speaker 1: That didn't work, you know, how I can tell your 85 00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:51,000 Speaker 1: mom knows I'm in a teetering emotional place. Well, here's 86 00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:54,960 Speaker 1: here's how I know that she knows and that she's empathetic, 87 00:05:56,080 --> 00:06:01,080 Speaker 1: because there were she's doing like a whole giant house 88 00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:04,720 Speaker 1: cleaning thing prior to I knew it her birthday. I 89 00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:11,279 Speaker 1: knew it, well, no hold on there. Within the ninety 90 00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:15,800 Speaker 1: seconds when I came downstairs, there were three things I 91 00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:21,240 Speaker 1: saw her do that she had asked me to do previously, 92 00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:25,400 Speaker 1: and she wasn't even mad at me. Yep, I was like, oh, 93 00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:28,400 Speaker 1: she legit feels bad for me right now. She's like 94 00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:32,360 Speaker 1: she she is really showing a real amount of empathy 95 00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:34,760 Speaker 1: because I was supposed to put those coffee cups away. 96 00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:38,720 Speaker 1: I was supposed to throw that backpack away, and she's 97 00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:40,800 Speaker 1: doing all of it, and she's doing with a smile 98 00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:44,599 Speaker 1: on her face, which means she has correctly clocked that 99 00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:49,320 Speaker 1: I'm not doing great. Hopefully this will be my Catharsis. 100 00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:51,120 Speaker 1: Let's get to Monday night football. 101 00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:55,400 Speaker 2: Shout out to Audrie. So we saw what Trevor Lawrence 102 00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:58,320 Speaker 2: did to the Chiefs yesterday. It was also his twenty 103 00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:01,000 Speaker 2: sixth birthday, and he walked out of there with a dub. 104 00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:03,960 Speaker 2: What do you want to talk about first, your Prince's 105 00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:06,920 Speaker 2: success or your Chiefs downfall in this game. 106 00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:10,640 Speaker 1: Okay, as much as I'd like to start with Trevor, 107 00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:14,080 Speaker 1: we have to start with the Chiefs. And here's the reason. 108 00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:23,680 Speaker 1: That game is so so much more upsetting than the 109 00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:28,720 Speaker 1: Charger game or the Eagle game, and so much more 110 00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:37,080 Speaker 1: upsetting than any recent memory regular season loss. One thing 111 00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:44,520 Speaker 1: about the Chiefs being the Chiefs is they simply do 112 00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:49,480 Speaker 1: not lose games like that. Now, they get out played. 113 00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:52,760 Speaker 1: Sometimes the offense we've seen over the last couple of 114 00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:56,760 Speaker 1: years get stuck in the mud. They you know, there 115 00:07:56,840 --> 00:08:00,920 Speaker 1: are ways that they can lose a game, and other 116 00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:06,600 Speaker 1: people panic or you know, talk about in what bad 117 00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:10,800 Speaker 1: shape the team is in, and I do not because 118 00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:14,440 Speaker 1: of the full confidence that by the end of the 119 00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:17,240 Speaker 1: year Patrick will have figured stuff out, or the team 120 00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:21,080 Speaker 1: will get healthier or whatever it is. Losing a game 121 00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:26,880 Speaker 1: like that last night, they don't blow two touchdown leads. 122 00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:30,920 Speaker 1: Every other team in the league, mate, they don't. They 123 00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:42,280 Speaker 1: did last night countless countless special teams mistakes, the multiple 124 00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:48,560 Speaker 1: the same player Jack Cochrane, who held on a big 125 00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:52,800 Speaker 1: kick return earlier in the game does the only thing 126 00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:57,600 Speaker 1: he can't do on the final kickoff of the game, 127 00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:02,000 Speaker 1: which is hold again, Because in that moment, I thought, 128 00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:05,760 Speaker 1: while I didn't like what had happened, twenty three seconds, 129 00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:08,559 Speaker 1: three timeouts, the Chief's gonna have the ball around the 130 00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:11,640 Speaker 1: twenty five thirty yard line. I fully trusted that we 131 00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:14,280 Speaker 1: were at least going to get a kick to tie 132 00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:18,400 Speaker 1: the game. But that hold has the double whammy of 133 00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:21,480 Speaker 1: they returned it, so you burned six of the twenty 134 00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:30,080 Speaker 1: three seconds and you started on the fifteen. Also with 135 00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:35,000 Speaker 1: the special teams, Bucker kicking it out of bounds when 136 00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:37,959 Speaker 1: he has been shaky buck. We are now five for 137 00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:42,440 Speaker 1: five in games this year where Bucker makes a mistake 138 00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:47,280 Speaker 1: either missus an extra point, miss it, yes, missus an 139 00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:51,240 Speaker 1: extra point, misses a kick, or kicks it out of bounds. 140 00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:55,840 Speaker 1: And then and I'm not this oddly is the part 141 00:09:55,880 --> 00:10:00,640 Speaker 1: of the game that was least bothersome to me. But 142 00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:05,760 Speaker 1: it was the most damaging was you know, Patrick made 143 00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:09,360 Speaker 1: a mistake he simply doesn't make, which is that ninety 144 00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:12,560 Speaker 1: nine yard pick six that flipped the entire game. Now 145 00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:16,600 Speaker 1: that you can fairly say that cost them the game, 146 00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:22,040 Speaker 1: I mean that was a basically a true fourteen point swing. 147 00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:26,800 Speaker 1: But I know this might sound odd to the audience. 148 00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:32,760 Speaker 1: That is the least of my concerns. The committing that 149 00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:39,840 Speaker 1: many penalties that consistently. And now, what does make me 150 00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:43,080 Speaker 1: feel like the Chiefs are very close to being the 151 00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:50,000 Speaker 1: Chiefs again, is there is a direct correlation to how 152 00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:52,480 Speaker 1: scary the Chiefs are to the rest of the world 153 00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:58,040 Speaker 1: and how quickly and loudly we get the idiotic conspiracy 154 00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:04,319 Speaker 1: theories once again, when yes, they missed a DPI on 155 00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:08,040 Speaker 1: an interception, but this game would have been well, I 156 00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:09,880 Speaker 1: don't know that it was a TV. I don't know 157 00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:13,080 Speaker 1: that it was worse than when the Jags are down 158 00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:17,160 Speaker 1: fourteen to nothing and it's third and fifteen and there 159 00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:21,240 Speaker 1: is a phantom DPI that kept them in the game, 160 00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:24,880 Speaker 1: Like calls get missed in both directions. The people got 161 00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:29,400 Speaker 1: mad because Patrick correctly pointed out to the ref we 162 00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:33,880 Speaker 1: get one yard on the rub route on Kelsey's touchdown, 163 00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:36,160 Speaker 1: and I don't know what the hell Russell Yurke was 164 00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:40,520 Speaker 1: looking at. He says, the play was snapped at the two, 165 00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:44,680 Speaker 1: juju is setting the pick at the one. That is 166 00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:48,199 Speaker 1: the definition. You literally had the little hashmark showing you 167 00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:52,880 Speaker 1: it was a yard and so I unders listen, they missed. 168 00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:56,079 Speaker 1: The ref's missed a really bad call, there's no question 169 00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:57,679 Speaker 1: about it. And the Chiefs got a pick out of it. 170 00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:01,520 Speaker 1: The Chiefs were penalized I think ten times more or 171 00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:04,959 Speaker 1: nine times more than Jacksonville. That was not a oh. 172 00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:07,600 Speaker 1: The Chiefs got all the calls. But also those weren't 173 00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:11,880 Speaker 1: except for the DPI on third and fifteen. Those weren't 174 00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:16,000 Speaker 1: bad calls against the Chiefs. They were making mistakes. And 175 00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:19,080 Speaker 1: here's the other piece of it, and this is what 176 00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:24,560 Speaker 1: is so uh And Patrick kind of said it without 177 00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:28,080 Speaker 1: saying it when he said we've already lost too many games. 178 00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:34,960 Speaker 1: They they had a nightmare, nightmare opening two weeks of 179 00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:41,040 Speaker 1: the season, and they had the opportunity to make it 180 00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:46,400 Speaker 1: all back by week five, go from zero and two 181 00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:50,360 Speaker 1: to Tide for first in the division, one game out 182 00:12:50,640 --> 00:13:00,120 Speaker 1: of first place in the entire conference and two and 183 00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:03,240 Speaker 1: you guys, notice I didn't have Kansas City minus three 184 00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:07,439 Speaker 1: and a half in knicks picks. I actually think Jacksonville 185 00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:09,920 Speaker 1: is better than people gave him credit for it. And 186 00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:14,840 Speaker 1: I was saying all week Jacksonville was three and one 187 00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:19,880 Speaker 1: despite Trevor and that if Trevor played well, they're a 188 00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:22,600 Speaker 1: very dangerous team. And we'll get to Trevor later, because 189 00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:27,040 Speaker 1: that was just a perfect Trevor Lawrence game. Some horrible mistakes, 190 00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:31,800 Speaker 1: some great throws, used his legs, you know, better than 191 00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:35,480 Speaker 1: he usually does, even though he's great with that. The 192 00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:39,280 Speaker 1: So I didn't It's not that I think losing to 193 00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:40,040 Speaker 1: the Jags. 194 00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:43,080 Speaker 2: It's just that was a game that I feel like 195 00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:46,040 Speaker 2: they needed. They really wanted that game and they didn't 196 00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:48,040 Speaker 2: get it. And it was also like it was the 197 00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:50,360 Speaker 2: Jaguars at the same time, like's not. 198 00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:53,760 Speaker 1: They needed it, Demons, they wanted it and they had 199 00:13:53,800 --> 00:14:01,840 Speaker 1: it great like the While the Chiefs don't blow teams 200 00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:05,800 Speaker 1: out the way the other excellent teams in football do 201 00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:11,080 Speaker 1: over the last few years, they just simply never beat themselves, 202 00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:15,480 Speaker 1: and yesterday they beat themselves. Yesterday is the first game 203 00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:21,160 Speaker 1: in four years the Chiefs have won the turnover battle 204 00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:26,119 Speaker 1: and lost the game. There have only been three games 205 00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:30,040 Speaker 1: in the last four years where they have won or 206 00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:33,520 Speaker 1: tied the turnover battle and lost the game Week one 207 00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:36,760 Speaker 1: against Detroit couple of years ago, the Pick six Week 208 00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:39,240 Speaker 1: one against the Chargers this year, and neither team turned 209 00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:42,400 Speaker 1: it over, and then this week with a pick six, 210 00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:54,920 Speaker 1: and so all of that just it. It's just a 211 00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:58,960 Speaker 1: horrible loss. Let me add another thing before I get 212 00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:07,000 Speaker 1: to the other side of it. My biggest concern with 213 00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:12,440 Speaker 1: Kansas City after week one, when every there have been 214 00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:17,400 Speaker 1: let me rephrase it. There have been two concerns that 215 00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:23,280 Speaker 1: I have had about the Chiefs basically from week one 216 00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:31,040 Speaker 1: on that while everyone else was focused on Mahomes in 217 00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:34,960 Speaker 1: the passing game, I was simply not worried. One was 218 00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:39,920 Speaker 1: the lack of any type of burst or explosion in 219 00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:45,080 Speaker 1: the running game. Now I thought that was Pacheco and Hunts, 220 00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:48,240 Speaker 1: both of them, you know, one of their better If not, 221 00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:50,120 Speaker 1: they're each of their best games of the year. My 222 00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:54,440 Speaker 1: hair is a mess. I apologize, but it still feels 223 00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:57,520 Speaker 1: like that's a spot they need to upgrade. And Patrick 224 00:15:57,680 --> 00:16:03,520 Speaker 1: leading the team in rushing is is unacceptable and makes 225 00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:08,040 Speaker 1: me nervous. But the other thing that was greatly concerning 226 00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:13,440 Speaker 1: to me about week one was their total inability to 227 00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:18,640 Speaker 1: generate a pass rush without sending a blitz. And I 228 00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:24,080 Speaker 1: felt like you saw that again last night. So those 229 00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:30,000 Speaker 1: the running back position I think can be of all 230 00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:34,240 Speaker 1: the weaknesses you can have. That to me is the 231 00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:37,960 Speaker 1: simplest to attempt to remedy, because they should be able 232 00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:42,600 Speaker 1: to relatively cheaply trade for and upgrade at running back. 233 00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:47,800 Speaker 1: The pass rush just has to get better. And Chris 234 00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:53,200 Speaker 1: obviously has a brutal film on the play. When Trevor 235 00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:59,360 Speaker 1: fell down, Now, I don't actually think him standing there 236 00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:01,160 Speaker 1: or if he would have been going one hundred miles 237 00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:03,720 Speaker 1: an hour, it would have changed the impact of the play. 238 00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:06,880 Speaker 1: But that is brutal, brutal tape. 239 00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:09,600 Speaker 2: I think he could have absolutely made a play on it. 240 00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:12,199 Speaker 2: He could have stopped him from scoring touchdown. You think so, 241 00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:16,119 Speaker 2: I think I feel like he's watching the action from there. 242 00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:18,359 Speaker 2: If he starts running off to the right, might be 243 00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:19,879 Speaker 2: able to intercept Trevor Lawrence. 244 00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:24,159 Speaker 1: Oh, I right, I agree that right there he starts 245 00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:27,040 Speaker 1: running off to the right. My point is, by the 246 00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:32,280 Speaker 1: been going full bore. If he would have been going 247 00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:35,240 Speaker 1: full bore, he wouldn't have he wouldn't have been lying 248 00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:38,040 Speaker 1: to the right. He would have gone upfield and then 249 00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:40,760 Speaker 1: but it doesn't matter. I want to make this clear. 250 00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:44,280 Speaker 1: It doesn't matter that he wouldn't have made the I 251 00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:46,920 Speaker 1: don't think he would have made the play. What matters 252 00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:49,600 Speaker 1: is how the hell are you doing that in that spot? 253 00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:53,280 Speaker 1: But you know what I mean, like, what is the 254 00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:58,400 Speaker 1: uh he played it almost as if the Chiefs coaching 255 00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:01,000 Speaker 1: point there was let them score, so we get the 256 00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:03,760 Speaker 1: ball back with a chance to tie it. But no 257 00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:06,040 Speaker 1: one else on the defense was you know, had that 258 00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:11,640 Speaker 1: was feeling that way and so all of those things 259 00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:21,240 Speaker 1: Demon's are uh truly greatly real like issues and why 260 00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:27,719 Speaker 1: this has been so such a troubling twelve hours now 261 00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:39,840 Speaker 1: the flip side, Patrick looks great, and he looks great. 262 00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:43,200 Speaker 1: And the offenses, I mean they would they have five 263 00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:47,119 Speaker 1: hundred yards of offense yesterday almost like now, again that's 264 00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:51,840 Speaker 1: not the Andy said it, and he's right. The goal 265 00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:53,919 Speaker 1: of the game is not to put up a ton 266 00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:57,480 Speaker 1: of yards, put up points. And our red zone issues 267 00:18:57,880 --> 00:19:00,800 Speaker 1: that you know, he didn't say this, I'll say Patrick's 268 00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:06,440 Speaker 1: bad mistake. The penalties, those things are how you lose 269 00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:14,160 Speaker 1: football games. But Kansas City, particularly when Rashi gets back, 270 00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:17,680 Speaker 1: I think, is going to be back to being a 271 00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:22,720 Speaker 1: very explosive offense again. So that part is great, but 272 00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:30,800 Speaker 1: two and three is none and you just you had 273 00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:35,600 Speaker 1: the opportunity, had you taken care of going into last 274 00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:40,800 Speaker 1: night's game, you were like, there were there's the four 275 00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:44,520 Speaker 1: and one Bills who you play later this year, the 276 00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:47,440 Speaker 1: four and one Colts who you play later this year, 277 00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:51,159 Speaker 1: and the Jags were sitting there with one loss and 278 00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:55,560 Speaker 1: you were playing them that night. And so it also 279 00:19:55,960 --> 00:20:09,200 Speaker 1: puts a lot of pressure on next week. And next 280 00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:14,240 Speaker 1: week is the Detroit Lions, who post Week one have 281 00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:23,480 Speaker 1: looked like the best team in the league. By the way, 282 00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:27,679 Speaker 1: Lebron just posted, I guess did Hennessy front run him 283 00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:31,919 Speaker 1: on this? That's so funny? Real quick? 284 00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:35,200 Speaker 2: Is that the announcement? 285 00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:38,000 Speaker 1: Or hold on, I'm just gonna let you guys hear it. 286 00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:40,919 Speaker 1: I hope, hold on, let me see if I can 287 00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:45,800 Speaker 1: do this?

That was a conclusion I woke up with 300 00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:17,639 Speaker 1: this morning. 301 00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:20,880 Speaker 2: Why I feel like it's gonna give me the best 302 00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:22,280 Speaker 2: opportunity to win more at hosting. 303 00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:25,800 Speaker 1: And not only that, when that signature and hotails, we 304 00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:29,360 Speaker 1: didn't have a good time, we. 305 00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:33,000 Speaker 2: At making memories, we didn't making it look easy, win 306 00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:34,600 Speaker 2: at leaving people wanting more. 307 00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:47,760 Speaker 1: Bron appreciate it. My decision. Okay, so real quick, quick 308 00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:52,920 Speaker 1: sidebar of course, like now listen, I would have been wrong. 309 00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:54,840 Speaker 1: I thought I had something to do with Amazon Prime 310 00:21:54,920 --> 00:22:03,160 Speaker 1: Day because he worked with Amazon. But Danny yesterday when 311 00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:06,320 Speaker 1: Lebron sent that tweet, he came, He's like, you saw 312 00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:11,280 Speaker 1: Lebron's thing.

But 316 00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:27,400 Speaker 1: it's why I knew it was an AD. I said, 317 00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:31,440 Speaker 1: because it's at noon.

Now he was 346 00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:16,199 Speaker 1: if you didn't get the and I didn't show you 347 00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:19,840 Speaker 1: the he's wearing the same shirt he wore to the 348 00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:27,000 Speaker 1: original decision, like kind of right, and the the script 349 00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:30,200 Speaker 1: is the questions he was asked, like the no powder 350 00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:35,240 Speaker 1: that it's all the exact same beats of the original decision. 351 00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:41,920 Speaker 1: But yes, listen shout. Also, by the way, I don't 352 00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:46,120 Speaker 1: know what Hennessy you know, paid Bron, but I do 353 00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:48,440 Speaker 1: know that they are now going to get a lot 354 00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:52,320 Speaker 1: of free media out of it by simply Lebron sending 355 00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:55,800 Speaker 1: one tweet like so, I don't know what his tweets 356 00:24:55,800 --> 00:25:00,040 Speaker 1: are worth, but that you know, I would consider that 357 00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:04,560 Speaker 1: likely money well spent. All right, back to the discussion 358 00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:08,800 Speaker 1: we were having. What were we talking about? Oh, the 359 00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:11,760 Speaker 1: Lions game now is massive. Oh that's why I saw 360 00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:15,359 Speaker 1: it because I was going to hard rock bet to 361 00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:19,720 Speaker 1: see going into last night And here's a fun one. 362 00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:25,080 Speaker 1: Demon's wait. No, going into last night, it was Casey 363 00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:30,120 Speaker 1: minus a point and a half. Now, typically, oddly, when 364 00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:33,919 Speaker 1: a good team loses, if they don't suffer real injury, 365 00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:38,080 Speaker 1: they become bigger favorites by a tiny bit. The next week, 366 00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:44,199 Speaker 1: I don't anticipate that's what will happen here. So what, oh, 367 00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:47,119 Speaker 1: what do you think? Do you think the line moved 368 00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:49,840 Speaker 1: or stayed the same, And if it moved in what direction? 369 00:25:50,119 --> 00:25:52,480 Speaker 2: You said yesterday it was minus one and a. 370 00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:54,320 Speaker 1: Half, Kansas City favored by a point and a. 371 00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:59,840 Speaker 2: Half a half. Yeah, I think it probably what is 372 00:25:59,880 --> 00:26:01,919 Speaker 2: it minus two now minus two? 373 00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:05,439 Speaker 1: It's it stayed, it stayed the same. I thought there 374 00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:07,320 Speaker 1: was a chance it would have gone the other way, 375 00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:12,439 Speaker 1: but I think the reason it didn't was because the 376 00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:16,040 Speaker 1: Chiefs offense did look really good and that Jack's defense 377 00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:19,560 Speaker 1: is legit. It's just so frustrating. And this is all 378 00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:22,320 Speaker 1: I said going into it was if they don't turn 379 00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:25,960 Speaker 1: the ball over, they can't lose, and they may listen, 380 00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:27,880 Speaker 1: it was the worst type of turnover you can make. 381 00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:31,120 Speaker 2: With that defense being how good it is, like Jacksonville's 382 00:26:31,119 --> 00:26:33,520 Speaker 2: defense is, it's legit. They even came in they got 383 00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:36,280 Speaker 2: to pick six against Patrick Malmes. Like with the Travis 384 00:26:36,359 --> 00:26:38,280 Speaker 2: Hunter thinks, I think it's so unfortunate that he wants 385 00:26:38,359 --> 00:26:40,879 Speaker 2: to play on both sides of the ball, because I 386 00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:43,560 Speaker 2: think he would make the defense that much more dominant, 387 00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:45,960 Speaker 2: or if he wanted to be one hundred percent offense, 388 00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:48,280 Speaker 2: he would just give Trevor Lawrence even that better of 389 00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:51,639 Speaker 2: a hand. But I think because it doesn't seem like 390 00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:54,880 Speaker 2: he's being super effective on either side, he's that guess 391 00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:56,560 Speaker 2: he's maxed out as lung right now. 392 00:26:56,760 --> 00:27:00,240 Speaker 1: No, right now, it's kind of the worst of both worlds, 393 00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:03,960 Speaker 1: right listen. I know he made one really big play 394 00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:07,359 Speaker 1: in this game. Yeah, but the Jags aren't at a 395 00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:18,520 Speaker 1: shortage of weapons, and right now, the the the they trade, 396 00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:21,760 Speaker 1: the only way you can justify trading what they traded 397 00:27:22,359 --> 00:27:25,600 Speaker 1: for a non quarterback is because you thought you were 398 00:27:25,600 --> 00:27:29,199 Speaker 1: getting two players. But right now he's having less of 399 00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:33,880 Speaker 1: an impact than all the guys drafted around him who 400 00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:38,520 Speaker 1: are just one way players. And so that's the really 401 00:27:39,359 --> 00:27:44,919 Speaker 1: disappointing part if you're Jacksonville, Like, let me go to 402 00:27:45,119 --> 00:27:50,200 Speaker 1: real quick. Because Mason Graham, who was the fifth pick, 403 00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:53,880 Speaker 1: who was part of essentially the Travis Hunter trade, has 404 00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:59,359 Speaker 1: been great. Abdua Carter is making a real impact. Will 405 00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:04,240 Speaker 1: Campbell's the everyday left tackle. Mason Graham has been excellent. Genty, 406 00:28:04,680 --> 00:28:07,119 Speaker 1: I know that there have been some questions about gent 407 00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:11,879 Speaker 1: Genty's great, He's just the how often is he getting 408 00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:15,120 Speaker 1: the ball and how often are they blocking for him? 409 00:28:15,119 --> 00:28:18,440 Speaker 1: But you've seen more from him already than you've seen 410 00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:23,920 Speaker 1: Travis Mimbo has been excellent at tackle for the Jets, 411 00:28:24,119 --> 00:28:27,960 Speaker 1: even though they've been terrible, and Teed McMillan has made 412 00:28:28,720 --> 00:28:33,639 Speaker 1: a bigger impact the wide receiver for Carolina. For Carolina, 413 00:28:33,760 --> 00:28:38,200 Speaker 1: no Tampa Bay receivers a Buka, who's been unbelievable. But 414 00:28:38,240 --> 00:28:40,920 Speaker 1: he was you know, he was a mid first round pick. 415 00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:44,600 Speaker 1: He was nineteen and so yeah, I do think that 416 00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:51,680 Speaker 1: they they haven't yet figured out how to use Travis. 417 00:28:52,040 --> 00:28:57,080 Speaker 1: Now listen on the Prince. This is why he's such 418 00:28:57,080 --> 00:29:01,520 Speaker 1: a tough player to quit, because he can make that 419 00:29:01,720 --> 00:29:07,760 Speaker 1: throw to Brian Thomas Junior down the sideline, and he 420 00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:12,440 Speaker 1: is he at Clemson, he ran a lot and he 421 00:29:12,600 --> 00:29:17,880 Speaker 1: is big and strong and all those things and fast. 422 00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:24,640 Speaker 1: He also loves that leap over the goal line QB sneak. 423 00:29:25,120 --> 00:29:27,120 Speaker 1: That's not the first time it's been knocked out of 424 00:29:27,120 --> 00:29:34,320 Speaker 1: his hands. He also will, as Aikman pointed out, miss 425 00:29:34,360 --> 00:29:39,560 Speaker 1: some layups and he's it's fair is fair. He should 426 00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:45,160 Speaker 1: be better at this point than he is. But he 427 00:29:45,280 --> 00:29:50,080 Speaker 1: is now positioning himself where he is going to have 428 00:29:51,120 --> 00:29:57,080 Speaker 1: a real opportunity to have, you know, another postseason and 429 00:29:57,720 --> 00:30:00,240 Speaker 1: the best moment of his career came in the postseason. 430 00:30:01,360 --> 00:30:05,880 Speaker 1: And so now like it's starting to take shape a 431 00:30:05,920 --> 00:30:10,200 Speaker 1: little bit right it feels to me demanse like like 432 00:30:10,280 --> 00:30:19,520 Speaker 1: the playoff teams we can say with confidence are Buffalo, Indie, Jacksonville, 433 00:30:20,600 --> 00:30:23,320 Speaker 1: the four and one teams, like we just got to 434 00:30:23,360 --> 00:30:28,200 Speaker 1: give them credit. One team out of the AFC North. 435 00:30:29,320 --> 00:30:31,840 Speaker 1: I can't write off Baltimore yet, but that's the only 436 00:30:31,880 --> 00:30:35,880 Speaker 1: way Baltimore does it is if Pittsburgh. The reason I'm 437 00:30:35,920 --> 00:30:38,280 Speaker 1: not saying two teams out of the North is if 438 00:30:38,320 --> 00:30:44,920 Speaker 1: Pittsburgh just continues winning, Baltimore's cooked Like Baltimore, Baltimore's path 439 00:30:45,040 --> 00:30:47,959 Speaker 1: is going to be that nine wins can win you 440 00:30:48,040 --> 00:30:53,880 Speaker 1: the division. So there's four and then I obviously believe 441 00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:58,959 Speaker 1: the Chiefs are going to be in the I can't. 442 00:30:59,600 --> 00:31:05,200 Speaker 1: It would be unfair for me to say Pencil that 443 00:31:05,280 --> 00:31:08,520 Speaker 1: she like to put the Chiefs in pen because they're 444 00:31:08,520 --> 00:31:15,720 Speaker 1: two and three. So if we have Buffalo, Indy, Jacksonville 445 00:31:16,240 --> 00:31:20,480 Speaker 1: and an AFC North team in then it would be 446 00:31:20,560 --> 00:31:30,040 Speaker 1: Deman's three spots, four Chiefs, Broncos Chargers, Patriots. Three spots 447 00:31:30,040 --> 00:31:34,880 Speaker 1: for those four teams, and right now the team that 448 00:31:35,080 --> 00:31:39,360 Speaker 1: probably of those four teams this moment, which team do 449 00:31:39,400 --> 00:31:43,000 Speaker 1: you think is most anxious? Because to me, I think 450 00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:50,240 Speaker 1: it's pretty clear out of Chiefs, Chargers, Broncos, Patriots, if. 451 00:31:50,120 --> 00:31:52,960 Speaker 2: One of them is gonna go, Chargers probably yeah, the 452 00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:54,680 Speaker 2: most anxious it's the Chargers. 453 00:31:55,400 --> 00:31:58,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, to me, it's definitely. 454 00:31:57,880 --> 00:32:02,120 Speaker 2: The Jay and Daniels is more respectable, but coming off injury. 455 00:32:02,400 --> 00:32:05,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, Jake and only scoring ten points and we'll 456 00:32:05,640 --> 00:32:12,040 Speaker 1: get to that game later. Wow. The producers don't always 457 00:32:12,920 --> 00:32:17,360 Speaker 1: nail it on this show. They always try with their humor, 458 00:32:17,920 --> 00:32:26,080 Speaker 1: but sometimes they they miss. This one's pretty good, Yeah, 459 00:32:26,800 --> 00:32:29,960 Speaker 1: because you know, I obviously coined the tackle that turned 460 00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:34,920 Speaker 1: the tide. And by the way, I given how Patrick 461 00:32:34,960 --> 00:32:38,080 Speaker 1: has played since that moment, I think it's still even 462 00:32:38,120 --> 00:32:40,040 Speaker 1: though they lost and he threw the pick six, I 463 00:32:40,040 --> 00:32:45,600 Speaker 1: think it still applies. I thought Patrick was for seventy 464 00:32:45,720 --> 00:32:49,640 Speaker 1: five out of seventy six plays excellent yesterday. Now, the 465 00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:52,560 Speaker 1: one mistake he made like fair is fair. It flipped 466 00:32:52,560 --> 00:32:55,000 Speaker 1: the game, and so I'm not giving I'm not giving 467 00:32:55,080 --> 00:32:58,200 Speaker 1: him a pass, but if I were, if I were saying, 468 00:32:58,920 --> 00:33:04,920 Speaker 1: was that encouraging? Yeah? They said, was that the pick 469 00:33:04,960 --> 00:33:08,520 Speaker 1: that made Nick sick? And you know who suggested that? 470 00:33:08,840 --> 00:33:09,120 Speaker 2: Vic? 471 00:33:09,560 --> 00:33:14,280 Speaker 1: All right, all right, well done, well done guys. But 472 00:33:14,400 --> 00:33:19,920 Speaker 1: they said, is Trevor's TD the stumble that started the succession? 473 00:33:21,760 --> 00:33:25,400 Speaker 1: That's pretty good. I think that's pretty good. I think 474 00:33:25,400 --> 00:33:28,360 Speaker 1: it's pretty good. I like it, guys. All Right, you 475 00:33:28,360 --> 00:33:32,880 Speaker 1: guys made me feel a little bit better. God, I 476 00:33:33,400 --> 00:33:37,360 Speaker 1: was upset. Dang, I'm gonna have to deal with It's 477 00:33:37,400 --> 00:33:39,520 Speaker 1: one thing that I'm gonna have to deal with Colin 478 00:33:40,200 --> 00:33:45,120 Speaker 1: in a couple hours.

All right, let's get two. The rest of 513 00:35:46,840 --> 00:35:48,600 Speaker 1: Week five in the NFL. 514 00:35:48,280 --> 00:35:51,919 Speaker 2: Pal So, the Eagles were up two touchdowns going into 515 00:35:51,920 --> 00:35:54,480 Speaker 2: the fourth of the Broncos and ended up blowing that game. 516 00:35:54,840 --> 00:35:56,920 Speaker 2: So the Broncos ended up winning, and they haven't won 517 00:35:56,960 --> 00:36:00,719 Speaker 2: an important game in over a year. How different are 518 00:36:00,760 --> 00:36:02,879 Speaker 2: you thinking about these two teams after that one? 519 00:36:04,040 --> 00:36:07,360 Speaker 1: Yeah? Your your point about the Broncos is because I 520 00:36:07,400 --> 00:36:08,920 Speaker 1: know Broncos fans will be like, what do you mean? 521 00:36:09,120 --> 00:36:11,600 Speaker 1: Won an important game? Made the playoffs. They haven't beaten 522 00:36:11,640 --> 00:36:15,120 Speaker 1: a quality opponent since Week three of last season, or 523 00:36:15,120 --> 00:36:17,839 Speaker 1: whenever they played Tampa might have been Week two. That 524 00:36:18,120 --> 00:36:25,040 Speaker 1: was the first great win of the Sean Peyton era 525 00:36:25,840 --> 00:36:29,920 Speaker 1: and of bo Nix's career. Now I know you know, 526 00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:33,239 Speaker 1: my pal Schrager, I think overstated it a bit. When 527 00:36:34,400 --> 00:36:39,239 Speaker 1: he said that was a career defining and regime defining 528 00:36:39,360 --> 00:36:43,440 Speaker 1: moment for Sean Payton. That's a bit much. But Schrager 529 00:36:43,560 --> 00:36:46,720 Speaker 1: is you know, Schrager's my guy, and he's very open 530 00:36:46,719 --> 00:36:49,520 Speaker 1: and honest about the fact that he loves Sean Payton 531 00:36:49,840 --> 00:36:52,799 Speaker 1: and he's rooting for Sean Payton. So that's fine. I 532 00:36:52,840 --> 00:36:56,680 Speaker 1: think that was you know, a touch, A touch, more 533 00:36:58,080 --> 00:37:02,120 Speaker 1: touch too much. I want to do the Broncos. Then 534 00:37:02,160 --> 00:37:04,160 Speaker 1: I'll do the Eagles because I think it'll be we'll 535 00:37:04,200 --> 00:37:06,680 Speaker 1: spend more time on the Eagles. Yeah. So the last 536 00:37:06,680 --> 00:37:09,720 Speaker 1: time they beat a playoff team was September twenty second 537 00:37:10,160 --> 00:37:12,879 Speaker 1: of last year, so more than a year before they 538 00:37:13,200 --> 00:37:15,319 Speaker 1: had what I would call it, you know, a high 539 00:37:15,400 --> 00:37:22,759 Speaker 1: quality win. That defense is spectacular, Okay, there is no 540 00:37:23,640 --> 00:37:26,399 Speaker 1: getting around that. And we knew coming into the year 541 00:37:26,880 --> 00:37:29,960 Speaker 1: that the defense could be really, really good. And Nick 542 00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:34,239 Speaker 1: Benito has a legit case for Defensive Player of the Year. 543 00:37:34,600 --> 00:37:40,560 Speaker 1: He's been that caliber of player. And in that fourth quarter, 544 00:37:41,520 --> 00:37:45,719 Speaker 1: bo Nicks was excellent after starting the game off terribly 545 00:37:46,440 --> 00:37:50,719 Speaker 1: and kind of getting lucky that they let it. I 546 00:37:50,760 --> 00:37:53,320 Speaker 1: thought it was a pretty clear strip sack that somehow 547 00:37:53,400 --> 00:37:56,400 Speaker 1: they called an incomplete pass. He then was twelve to 548 00:37:56,520 --> 00:38:02,479 Speaker 1: fourteen some big conversions touchdown like he was really good 549 00:38:02,520 --> 00:38:05,319 Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter of that game. So here is 550 00:38:05,400 --> 00:38:12,640 Speaker 1: what is true for the Broncos. If they get anywhere 551 00:38:12,920 --> 00:38:17,560 Speaker 1: close to the bow Knicks they got late in that game, 552 00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:22,000 Speaker 1: then they are a legit dangerous team. The defense is excellent. 553 00:38:22,600 --> 00:38:25,560 Speaker 1: Sean Payton, why I might think he's a touch overrated 554 00:38:25,600 --> 00:38:27,920 Speaker 1: by some of his friends in the media, is obviously 555 00:38:27,960 --> 00:38:33,919 Speaker 1: a good coach, very good coach, and they just need 556 00:38:33,960 --> 00:38:39,360 Speaker 1: to have an above average offense to be a really 557 00:38:39,400 --> 00:38:44,959 Speaker 1: good team. I am still skeptical of that. They will 558 00:38:45,000 --> 00:38:49,520 Speaker 1: get an above average offense from bow Knicks. We'll see, 559 00:38:49,800 --> 00:38:53,080 Speaker 1: and we'll see how much Sean Payton can coach him up. Now, 560 00:38:53,600 --> 00:38:58,040 Speaker 1: demon's say they have back to back absolute must win 561 00:38:58,200 --> 00:39:02,239 Speaker 1: games to get to five and two. They get the 562 00:39:02,600 --> 00:39:05,360 Speaker 1: best thing you can ask for in the NFL this century, 563 00:39:05,400 --> 00:39:10,120 Speaker 1: which is back to back New York games the Jets 564 00:39:10,120 --> 00:39:12,880 Speaker 1: and the Giants. Now the by the way, neither is 565 00:39:12,920 --> 00:39:15,880 Speaker 1: in New York, ones in London, and then ones in Denver. 566 00:39:16,320 --> 00:39:22,439 Speaker 1: But that's what they have. And if you remember, oh yeah, 567 00:39:22,520 --> 00:39:27,440 Speaker 1: Broncos Giants. Broncos Giants is better than Broncos Jets. 568 00:39:28,160 --> 00:39:31,799 Speaker 2: Broncos Jets. 569 00:39:31,880 --> 00:39:35,560 Speaker 1: So but Broncos Jets Demons is going to be on 570 00:39:35,800 --> 00:39:39,279 Speaker 1: is a London game, So that's a six AM. That'll 571 00:39:39,320 --> 00:39:45,799 Speaker 1: be a zero watch from you. But after if you 572 00:39:45,920 --> 00:39:52,279 Speaker 1: remember with my Broncos preseason skepticism, I said, I think 573 00:39:52,320 --> 00:39:55,640 Speaker 1: they'll get off to an early start, people will start 574 00:39:55,719 --> 00:39:59,640 Speaker 1: chirping at me, and then we'll see what they're really 575 00:39:59,680 --> 00:40:04,640 Speaker 1: made up of late and after that Broncos, after that 576 00:40:04,760 --> 00:40:09,960 Speaker 1: Jets Giant stretch. It's not that it's an impossible stretch 577 00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:14,560 Speaker 1: of football, but it's not easy. Aside from the Raiders games, 578 00:40:14,600 --> 00:40:16,680 Speaker 1: because again when I was talking about it being, you know, 579 00:40:16,760 --> 00:40:19,080 Speaker 1: a brutal stretch, I didn't think the Raiders were going 580 00:40:19,120 --> 00:40:29,640 Speaker 1: to be as bad as they are. But they go Cowboys, Texans, Raiders, Chiefs, Commanders, Raiders, Packers, Jags, Chiefs, Chargers, 581 00:40:30,239 --> 00:40:33,440 Speaker 1: That's how they end the year. So they need to 582 00:40:33,480 --> 00:40:37,080 Speaker 1: be five and two and then hope that they can 583 00:40:37,120 --> 00:40:42,439 Speaker 1: go what with five and five in their final ten 584 00:40:42,880 --> 00:40:45,399 Speaker 1: and that gets you in the playoffs. Ten wins will 585 00:40:45,400 --> 00:40:49,919 Speaker 1: get you in. And so this was a great win 586 00:40:50,080 --> 00:40:52,680 Speaker 1: for them in a game they had no signs of 587 00:40:52,719 --> 00:40:57,680 Speaker 1: life for the first three quarters, which then takes us 588 00:40:57,680 --> 00:41:01,239 Speaker 1: to Philadelphia. Demonse and I don't know if you saw 589 00:41:01,280 --> 00:41:03,440 Speaker 1: the report yesterday that. 590 00:41:05,000 --> 00:41:05,320 Speaker 2: A. J. 591 00:41:06,400 --> 00:41:13,479 Speaker 1: Siriani and Jalen talked for a couple Oh no, no, no, 592 00:41:13,640 --> 00:41:15,799 Speaker 1: you know what, You're right. I don't think it was Siriani. 593 00:41:16,120 --> 00:41:21,520 Speaker 1: I think it was Jalen. Yeah, that's right, that they 594 00:41:21,600 --> 00:41:29,800 Speaker 1: talked for quote a few hours end quote. This is 595 00:41:29,840 --> 00:41:31,319 Speaker 1: gonna be one of those things I say that I 596 00:41:31,400 --> 00:41:35,480 Speaker 1: know I'm right, but if it gets captioned or aggregated it, 597 00:41:35,600 --> 00:41:38,560 Speaker 1: I'm gonna get killed for it, and it's going to 598 00:41:38,640 --> 00:41:41,440 Speaker 1: seem unfair. But I know I'm right, and all the 599 00:41:41,480 --> 00:41:48,040 Speaker 1: listeners know I'm right. That's too long to talk. You 600 00:41:48,160 --> 00:41:52,040 Speaker 1: can't be you can't you can't be talking for a 601 00:41:52,160 --> 00:41:59,279 Speaker 1: quote a couple hours. A couple's therapy is fifty five minutes. Like, 602 00:42:01,040 --> 00:42:04,680 Speaker 1: that's too long. That is too long to have a 603 00:42:04,840 --> 00:42:08,879 Speaker 1: conversation about the first five weeks of your season. It's 604 00:42:08,920 --> 00:42:14,520 Speaker 1: just too long. And if it couldn't whatever, you couldn't 605 00:42:14,600 --> 00:42:18,040 Speaker 1: come to a resolution on after forty five minutes to 606 00:42:18,120 --> 00:42:22,239 Speaker 1: an hour, you weren't gonna have this massive breakthrough in 607 00:42:22,320 --> 00:42:25,919 Speaker 1: the in hout and minute ninety eight. I know I'm right. 608 00:42:26,560 --> 00:42:29,880 Speaker 1: You know I'm right. Everyone knows I'm right. That's too long. 609 00:42:30,280 --> 00:42:36,680 Speaker 1: All right, to the more serious piece of it. Why 610 00:42:36,760 --> 00:42:40,600 Speaker 1: can demands they not just have a normal game. 611 00:42:41,000 --> 00:42:44,680 Speaker 2: They're a weird football team. Their team's so weird. 612 00:42:45,520 --> 00:42:47,799 Speaker 1: I give them credit for Listen. I know they lost 613 00:42:47,840 --> 00:42:50,480 Speaker 1: this week, but they obviously know how to win games, 614 00:42:50,800 --> 00:42:52,600 Speaker 1: and they have a bunch of different ways to beat you. 615 00:42:52,640 --> 00:42:55,120 Speaker 1: They've blocked a punt to flip a game, They've blocked 616 00:42:55,160 --> 00:42:58,120 Speaker 1: a kick to win a game, Jalen's run to win, 617 00:42:58,640 --> 00:43:03,279 Speaker 1: Jalen's throne to win, and like they've I give them 618 00:43:03,400 --> 00:43:10,480 Speaker 1: credit for that. But in the last three weeks, they 619 00:43:10,600 --> 00:43:16,239 Speaker 1: played a half a football with negative passing yards. They 620 00:43:16,280 --> 00:43:20,520 Speaker 1: then played a half of football with zero completions. They 621 00:43:20,600 --> 00:43:26,600 Speaker 1: then played half a football demonse that they led for 622 00:43:26,680 --> 00:43:31,560 Speaker 1: almost the entirety of and they called two running plays. 623 00:43:32,200 --> 00:43:38,080 Speaker 1: They called two running plays. I it feels to me 624 00:43:39,120 --> 00:43:42,440 Speaker 1: like the offensive coordinator is on a little bit of 625 00:43:42,480 --> 00:43:46,560 Speaker 1: tiltier because I don't. 626 00:43:46,680 --> 00:43:48,680 Speaker 2: Do you think that he gets like flustered with like 627 00:43:48,719 --> 00:43:51,040 Speaker 2: how is r receivers are complaining and just doesn't know 628 00:43:51,080 --> 00:43:54,160 Speaker 2: how to how to go about it, Like it seems 629 00:43:54,200 --> 00:43:54,759 Speaker 2: like they might. 630 00:43:54,880 --> 00:43:57,880 Speaker 1: I don't know. Like we all were saying, try to 631 00:43:57,960 --> 00:44:00,919 Speaker 1: work on the passing game some but it didn't mean 632 00:44:00,960 --> 00:44:03,480 Speaker 1: that in the game you're winning, Saquon s you'd have 633 00:44:03,680 --> 00:44:07,960 Speaker 1: six carries, like it just doesn't make sense they are. 634 00:44:08,680 --> 00:44:15,440 Speaker 1: It's these vast, drastic over corrections. And here is the 635 00:44:15,480 --> 00:44:22,560 Speaker 1: other the under disgusted but maybe more important story for 636 00:44:22,640 --> 00:44:28,040 Speaker 1: the Eagles demons is this. And I think it's a 637 00:44:28,040 --> 00:44:31,520 Speaker 1: fair question, but out of respect to the player and 638 00:44:31,560 --> 00:44:39,319 Speaker 1: what he's accomplished, I want to ask it quietly, what's 639 00:44:39,400 --> 00:44:50,840 Speaker 1: going on with Saquon? Like Saquon has last year, So 640 00:44:50,960 --> 00:44:53,040 Speaker 1: let me just give a little context for this. Okay, 641 00:44:54,760 --> 00:45:01,839 Speaker 1: last year in he played twenty games for Philly. Last year, 642 00:45:03,280 --> 00:45:12,680 Speaker 1: he had one, two, three, four, five, six where he 643 00:45:12,800 --> 00:45:19,040 Speaker 1: did not have one hundred yards, and he had four 644 00:45:20,040 --> 00:45:25,239 Speaker 1: where he did not have at least eighty yards. His 645 00:45:25,440 --> 00:45:30,080 Speaker 1: real quiet games were a win against the Browns in 646 00:45:30,120 --> 00:45:34,960 Speaker 1: Week five eighteen for forty seven the Steelers game, which 647 00:45:35,040 --> 00:45:39,839 Speaker 1: was right after AJ Brown said we need to, you know, 648 00:45:40,640 --> 00:45:43,200 Speaker 1: work on the passing game, and Jalen had a big game. 649 00:45:43,480 --> 00:45:46,240 Speaker 1: They won by two touchdowns. He had nineteen for sixty 650 00:45:46,280 --> 00:45:50,080 Speaker 1: five the Cowboys game where one of them where he 651 00:45:50,160 --> 00:45:52,799 Speaker 1: was fourteen for sixty six but they won by twenty eight, 652 00:45:52,920 --> 00:45:55,720 Speaker 1: and the Super Bowl where he's twenty five for fifty seven. 653 00:45:56,040 --> 00:46:02,919 Speaker 1: So here's what's noteworthy. His his four quietest games last year. 654 00:46:03,400 --> 00:46:05,239 Speaker 1: One of them was a nip and tuck game with 655 00:46:05,280 --> 00:46:09,239 Speaker 1: the Browns. The other ones were a blowout against the Cowboys, 656 00:46:09,360 --> 00:46:13,000 Speaker 1: a blowout against the Steelers, and a blowout against the Chiefs. 657 00:46:13,600 --> 00:46:16,680 Speaker 1: But he had six games where he didn't have one 658 00:46:16,719 --> 00:46:20,560 Speaker 1: hundred and only four games where he didn't have eighty. 659 00:46:21,360 --> 00:46:28,080 Speaker 1: This year, he has had one hundred zero times, he 660 00:46:28,120 --> 00:46:32,920 Speaker 1: has had eighty one time, and he is averaging three 661 00:46:33,040 --> 00:46:38,240 Speaker 1: point two yards per carry. He was eighteen for sixty 662 00:46:38,280 --> 00:46:42,520 Speaker 1: in the opener, twenty two for eighty eight against the Chiefs, 663 00:46:43,320 --> 00:46:48,320 Speaker 1: eighteen for forty six against the Rams, nineteen for forty 664 00:46:48,400 --> 00:46:56,080 Speaker 1: three against Tampa, and six for thirty against Denver. And 665 00:46:57,080 --> 00:47:00,200 Speaker 1: one of the things that comes to mind on that 666 00:47:00,400 --> 00:47:08,680 Speaker 1: is for a guy who has been banged up throughout 667 00:47:08,760 --> 00:47:17,640 Speaker 1: his career, when so his rookie year he had three 668 00:47:17,719 --> 00:47:23,000 Speaker 1: hundred and fifty regular season touches and then the next 669 00:47:23,120 --> 00:47:27,200 Speaker 1: year his production dipped a bit and the following year 670 00:47:27,200 --> 00:47:32,400 Speaker 1: he suffered a serious injury. In twenty twenty two, he 671 00:47:32,600 --> 00:47:37,080 Speaker 1: had three hundred and fifty regular season touches, and the 672 00:47:37,120 --> 00:47:40,600 Speaker 1: next year his production dipped a bit and he missed 673 00:47:40,640 --> 00:47:46,279 Speaker 1: a little bit of time. Last year he had three 674 00:47:46,360 --> 00:47:50,280 Speaker 1: hundred and fifty regular I'm sorry, three hundred and eighty 675 00:47:50,400 --> 00:47:55,799 Speaker 1: five regular season touches plus another seventy. He had like 676 00:47:55,800 --> 00:47:59,680 Speaker 1: four hundred and fifty touches last year, and now is 677 00:47:59,680 --> 00:48:05,920 Speaker 1: puction is DipEd massively. If Saquon is just not gonna 678 00:48:05,920 --> 00:48:09,560 Speaker 1: have it this year, then they do need to work 679 00:48:09,600 --> 00:48:14,320 Speaker 1: on the offense significantly. And I think that's a fair concern. 680 00:48:16,280 --> 00:48:20,040 Speaker 1: And so I think the Eagles are an excellent team 681 00:48:20,160 --> 00:48:23,160 Speaker 1: and that I was most worried about the past defense 682 00:48:23,600 --> 00:48:26,839 Speaker 1: after Week one. But Dallas has now thrown the ball 683 00:48:26,880 --> 00:48:29,920 Speaker 1: on everybody, and the young players in their secondary have 684 00:48:29,960 --> 00:48:33,800 Speaker 1: gotten better. But the angst and here's the other concern. 685 00:48:33,840 --> 00:48:36,799 Speaker 1: And by the way, reminder everybody watching like rate, subscribe 686 00:48:36,840 --> 00:48:41,600 Speaker 1: review and if you're just tuning in when the show ends, 687 00:48:41,640 --> 00:48:44,600 Speaker 1: you can go back and listen to my you know, 688 00:48:46,080 --> 00:48:51,040 Speaker 1: crisis about the Chiefs loss yesterday. But subscribe on YouTube 689 00:48:51,200 --> 00:48:59,520 Speaker 1: like great review, do all that subscribe on iTunes Spotify. 690 00:49:00,080 --> 00:49:05,399 Speaker 1: Two years ago, Demons, they were winning games, but they 691 00:49:05,440 --> 00:49:09,840 Speaker 1: were angsty like this. It was always like, yeah, we're winning, 692 00:49:10,280 --> 00:49:12,880 Speaker 1: but we're not playing the way we want to play. 693 00:49:12,960 --> 00:49:17,080 Speaker 1: They started ten to one that season and then they 694 00:49:17,800 --> 00:49:22,560 Speaker 1: had a historic collapse. They were winning a lot of 695 00:49:22,800 --> 00:49:26,680 Speaker 1: ugly games, nip and tuck, and there was a lot 696 00:49:26,680 --> 00:49:31,200 Speaker 1: of chatter, and then it all unraveled on them. They 697 00:49:31,239 --> 00:49:35,600 Speaker 1: lost five of their final six and then basically flat 698 00:49:35,719 --> 00:49:40,440 Speaker 1: quit in the playoff game against Tampa. And so that 699 00:49:40,640 --> 00:49:44,799 Speaker 1: to me is because there is a little bit of 700 00:49:45,000 --> 00:49:52,279 Speaker 1: history as to this team having a good record but 701 00:49:52,920 --> 00:49:57,880 Speaker 1: not trusting it fully and then falling apart. It's noteworthy, 702 00:49:58,880 --> 00:50:03,040 Speaker 1: and so that I'm not it's no reason to panic 703 00:50:03,080 --> 00:50:09,879 Speaker 1: about Philadelphia, but things are not totally copasetic there. And 704 00:50:09,960 --> 00:50:15,759 Speaker 1: now they also get a nice little gift before their 705 00:50:15,800 --> 00:50:21,640 Speaker 1: bye week where their next three games are Giants Vikings Giants, 706 00:50:22,560 --> 00:50:27,360 Speaker 1: so that's nice. And the fact that they have played 707 00:50:27,719 --> 00:50:30,879 Speaker 1: they've played a brutal schedule. I think they're the only 708 00:50:30,960 --> 00:50:35,439 Speaker 1: team in the league that has played nothing but good 709 00:50:35,480 --> 00:50:42,640 Speaker 1: teams Cowboys, Chiefs, Rams, Bucks, Denver, and so you give 710 00:50:42,680 --> 00:50:45,520 Speaker 1: them a lot of credit, But it does feel a 711 00:50:45,680 --> 00:50:47,560 Speaker 1: little off the. 712 00:50:49,160 --> 00:50:56,600 Speaker 2: Make you nervous at all, though for your Chiefs. 713 00:50:55,040 --> 00:50:57,480 Speaker 1: I'm not worried about the Broncos. I do listen, the 714 00:50:57,560 --> 00:51:03,080 Speaker 1: Chiefs losing yesterday, they had become briefly the favorites to 715 00:51:03,120 --> 00:51:06,920 Speaker 1: win the AFC West again, and now I would imagine, 716 00:51:06,960 --> 00:51:09,759 Speaker 1: in fact, I'm gonna look at that too with our 717 00:51:09,880 --> 00:51:12,640 Speaker 1: friends at hard Rock. 718 00:51:12,760 --> 00:51:13,000 Speaker 2: Bet. 719 00:51:13,280 --> 00:51:24,600 Speaker 1: I'm pulling it up right now. The Futures Division winner, the. 720 00:51:23,480 --> 00:51:24,319 Speaker 2: I think Vegas might be. 721 00:51:25,640 --> 00:51:32,560 Speaker 1: I'll find it. It's basically a three way tie. One 722 00:51:32,680 --> 00:51:36,480 Speaker 1: seventy five for the Chargers, one seventy five for the Broncos, 723 00:51:36,560 --> 00:51:40,320 Speaker 1: one ninety for the Chiefs. So you know they're calling 724 00:51:40,360 --> 00:51:44,480 Speaker 1: it a three way coin flip right now, And honestly, 725 00:51:44,640 --> 00:51:48,200 Speaker 1: like a fair is fair. That Chiefs lost yesterday is 726 00:51:48,200 --> 00:51:50,520 Speaker 1: real damaging in a lot of different ways. All right, 727 00:51:50,600 --> 00:51:51,600 Speaker 1: let's go to the next game. 728 00:51:52,120 --> 00:51:55,520 Speaker 2: The comeback story continues for Bake Show. He was down 729 00:51:55,600 --> 00:51:58,400 Speaker 2: seven to three minutes left, led a game tying touchdown 730 00:51:58,520 --> 00:52:01,520 Speaker 2: drive and his defense came over forced to turnover. You 731 00:52:01,560 --> 00:52:03,880 Speaker 2: said that this team is the best team in the NFC, 732 00:52:03,960 --> 00:52:06,400 Speaker 2: but they just lost to Philly. How are you feeling 733 00:52:06,440 --> 00:52:07,280 Speaker 2: about the Baker. 734 00:52:07,600 --> 00:52:11,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, no, No, Listen, I think that their ability to 735 00:52:12,239 --> 00:52:15,279 Speaker 1: They have dealt with a ton of injuries and they're 736 00:52:15,320 --> 00:52:21,240 Speaker 1: four and one, and I know they lost to Philly. However, 737 00:52:21,320 --> 00:52:24,680 Speaker 1: they even with the head to have lost to Philly, 738 00:52:25,200 --> 00:52:28,560 Speaker 1: doesn't their four and one vibes wise feel so much 739 00:52:28,600 --> 00:52:31,840 Speaker 1: better than Philly's four and one. Yes, like they feel 740 00:52:33,480 --> 00:52:36,160 Speaker 1: they're getting They're gonna get some of their offensive linemen back, 741 00:52:36,200 --> 00:52:39,799 Speaker 1: They're gonna get Mike Evans back. Chris Godwin is only 742 00:52:39,800 --> 00:52:43,040 Speaker 1: gonna get better coming off the injury they didn't have. 743 00:52:43,120 --> 00:52:49,040 Speaker 1: Bucky Irving, Abuka is awesome, The Seahawks are legit, and 744 00:52:49,120 --> 00:52:53,920 Speaker 1: Baker walked their asses down too, like and this is 745 00:52:54,040 --> 00:52:57,520 Speaker 1: I know sometimes I can do this too much, but 746 00:52:57,920 --> 00:53:00,279 Speaker 1: where I talk schedule and stuff and it might be 747 00:53:00,320 --> 00:53:05,440 Speaker 1: a better visual thing. But one of the reasons I 748 00:53:05,560 --> 00:53:09,400 Speaker 1: believed in Tampa was I said I thought they could 749 00:53:09,400 --> 00:53:15,359 Speaker 1: start Demon's a six and five and potentially still get 750 00:53:15,440 --> 00:53:19,319 Speaker 1: the one seed at twelve and five. They're now four 751 00:53:19,320 --> 00:53:23,720 Speaker 1: and one. Here's the reason I'm pointing this out. Their 752 00:53:23,840 --> 00:53:28,239 Speaker 1: final six games, six games more than a third of 753 00:53:28,280 --> 00:53:38,920 Speaker 1: the season are Cardinals Saints Falcons on a Thursday at 754 00:53:38,960 --> 00:53:48,480 Speaker 1: home Panthers, Dolphins, Panthers, bro. So if they are like, 755 00:53:48,560 --> 00:53:50,960 Speaker 1: they're four and one right now. So if you just 756 00:53:51,000 --> 00:53:54,040 Speaker 1: look at the Bucks, put their season in little buckets. 757 00:53:54,320 --> 00:53:58,720 Speaker 1: This first bucket's done with. They're four and one now. 758 00:53:59,120 --> 00:54:11,240 Speaker 1: The lead up two that stretch of football, it's very tough. Niners, Lions, Saints, Patriots, Bills, Rams. 759 00:54:12,600 --> 00:54:17,400 Speaker 1: If they can just Niners, Lions, Saints, Patriots, Bills, Rams, 760 00:54:18,560 --> 00:54:27,440 Speaker 1: Honest to god, if they go two and four in 761 00:54:27,480 --> 00:54:31,520 Speaker 1: that stretch, that would put them at six and five 762 00:54:32,360 --> 00:54:35,560 Speaker 1: and still I think be on pace for eleven or 763 00:54:35,640 --> 00:54:40,520 Speaker 1: twelve wins if they can go. But right now, two 764 00:54:40,520 --> 00:54:44,799 Speaker 1: and four, right they're home for the Niners. They're the 765 00:54:44,840 --> 00:54:49,520 Speaker 1: better team. The Saints are not good. They're home for 766 00:54:49,600 --> 00:54:53,040 Speaker 1: the Patriots, and while the Patriots are good, they're the 767 00:54:53,040 --> 00:54:56,080 Speaker 1: better team. And then you have very tough road games 768 00:54:56,120 --> 00:54:59,560 Speaker 1: at the Lions, at the Bills, at the Rams. I 769 00:54:59,719 --> 00:55:03,160 Speaker 1: really I think this team can win thirteen games, and 770 00:55:03,200 --> 00:55:06,160 Speaker 1: they're only gonna get healthier. So yeah, I mean I 771 00:55:06,200 --> 00:55:11,080 Speaker 1: think that right now, Baker Mayfield's the league MVP. 772 00:55:11,960 --> 00:55:15,600 Speaker 2: Oh and he's doing all this with all these injuries. Yeah, 773 00:55:15,640 --> 00:55:17,040 Speaker 2: seems like a very good candidate. 774 00:55:17,920 --> 00:55:20,439 Speaker 1: Yeah, Yeah, started the year at thirty five to one. 775 00:55:20,480 --> 00:55:23,200 Speaker 1: He's now I think twelve to one. I think that 776 00:55:23,960 --> 00:55:27,759 Speaker 1: I think people are the reason he's not higher is 777 00:55:27,800 --> 00:55:31,120 Speaker 1: people haven't caught on to the fact that Tampa has 778 00:55:31,160 --> 00:55:34,279 Speaker 1: a very decent shot of being the one seed and 779 00:55:34,400 --> 00:55:37,239 Speaker 1: Baker with these comebacks, plus if they're the one of 780 00:55:37,320 --> 00:55:40,920 Speaker 1: the two seed, I just think he absolutely could win 781 00:55:41,000 --> 00:55:48,440 Speaker 1: League MVP. And also right now Abuca is even money 782 00:55:48,440 --> 00:55:51,600 Speaker 1: to win Offensive Rookie of the Year, and so yeah, 783 00:55:51,680 --> 00:55:55,760 Speaker 1: I really believe in Tampa. A Chiefs Buck super Bowl 784 00:55:55,840 --> 00:55:58,920 Speaker 1: was my pick before. It would be very painful for 785 00:55:59,000 --> 00:56:02,719 Speaker 1: me to Monsey because I've gotten I've never quite hit 786 00:56:02,760 --> 00:56:05,840 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl exacta since we've been doing this show. 787 00:56:06,200 --> 00:56:10,840 Speaker 1: I came very close one year, one game away Chiefs Niners. 788 00:56:11,600 --> 00:56:15,279 Speaker 1: I then had Chiefs Cowboys. The Cowboys won twelve games 789 00:56:15,320 --> 00:56:17,640 Speaker 1: but lost to Jordan Love. I then had Chiefs Bears 790 00:56:17,680 --> 00:56:23,760 Speaker 1: and was a disaster. If I hit the long shot 791 00:56:23,840 --> 00:56:27,279 Speaker 1: piece of it in the Bucks, but the Chiefs are 792 00:56:27,280 --> 00:56:29,640 Speaker 1: the side that lets me down, it'd be devastating. That 793 00:56:29,640 --> 00:56:32,799 Speaker 1: would be hard, just devastating, all right, before we get 794 00:56:32,880 --> 00:56:36,920 Speaker 1: to some of the other games. Now it's time for 795 00:56:37,000 --> 00:56:42,360 Speaker 1: our new segment, College Footballs Walk On Mount Rushmore, presented 796 00:56:42,400 --> 00:56:45,560 Speaker 1: by Chad Powers, now streaming on Hulu and Hulu on 797 00:56:45,640 --> 00:56:49,280 Speaker 1: Disney Plus for Bundle subscribers. For the next few weeks, 798 00:56:49,600 --> 00:56:53,240 Speaker 1: I'll be revealing my Mount Rushmore college Football walk Ons, 799 00:56:53,400 --> 00:56:56,480 Speaker 1: paying tribute to the legends who started with no scholarship, 800 00:56:56,760 --> 00:57:02,000 Speaker 1: no spotlight, and still carved out unforgettable careers. Last week, 801 00:57:02,040 --> 00:57:06,600 Speaker 1: we started off with a no doubter, Baker Mayfield. Perfect segue. 802 00:57:06,640 --> 00:57:08,960 Speaker 1: Now we're talking about HM winning league. MVP had to 803 00:57:09,000 --> 00:57:13,200 Speaker 1: be on there. This next guy is just as much 804 00:57:13,200 --> 00:57:16,560 Speaker 1: of a no doubter, and that is a guy who 805 00:57:18,040 --> 00:57:24,800 Speaker 1: has an argument that he has the greatest four year 806 00:57:25,040 --> 00:57:30,480 Speaker 1: stretch of defensive football and NFL history. And I was 807 00:57:30,520 --> 00:57:33,600 Speaker 1: able to cover that in person. And that is one 808 00:57:34,200 --> 00:57:40,600 Speaker 1: JJ Watt. JJ Watt was a scholarship player at Central 809 00:57:40,680 --> 00:57:45,280 Speaker 1: Michigan as a tight end. They then wanted to move 810 00:57:45,400 --> 00:57:51,320 Speaker 1: him to tackle. He gave up his scholarship to go 811 00:57:51,360 --> 00:57:56,040 Speaker 1: to Wisconsin and walk on as a defensive end. He 812 00:57:56,240 --> 00:58:01,560 Speaker 1: switched to d end and after a year redshirting. His 813 00:58:01,800 --> 00:58:06,520 Speaker 1: first year playing he had sixteen tackles for loss and 814 00:58:06,640 --> 00:58:09,720 Speaker 1: four and a half sacks, and the next year was 815 00:58:09,760 --> 00:58:14,120 Speaker 1: an All American with seven sacks, a pick, and twenty 816 00:58:14,320 --> 00:58:17,960 Speaker 1: one tackles for loss and turning himself into a no 817 00:58:18,000 --> 00:58:21,400 Speaker 1: doubt first round pick. He followed that up with again, 818 00:58:22,120 --> 00:58:25,720 Speaker 1: what I think is and we talk about Aaron Donald, 819 00:58:26,040 --> 00:58:32,160 Speaker 1: and I understand Aaron Donald. His career is absolutely unbelievable. 820 00:58:32,880 --> 00:58:38,240 Speaker 1: What JJ Watt did from twenty twelve to twenty fifteen 821 00:58:38,320 --> 00:58:43,600 Speaker 1: in the NFL hard to find a higher peak on 822 00:58:43,840 --> 00:58:46,920 Speaker 1: bad Texans teams. One of them was good that didn't 823 00:58:46,920 --> 00:58:52,160 Speaker 1: have the lead that often. In twenty twelve, he forced 824 00:58:52,200 --> 00:58:56,520 Speaker 1: four fumbles, had twenty and a half sacks, and had 825 00:58:56,720 --> 00:59:01,479 Speaker 1: thirty nine tackles for loss, again playing three to four 826 00:59:01,560 --> 00:59:05,880 Speaker 1: defensive end. The next year ten and a half sacks 827 00:59:05,960 --> 00:59:10,680 Speaker 1: and twenty two tackles for loss, the next year, twenty 828 00:59:10,720 --> 00:59:14,440 Speaker 1: and a half sacks, twenty nine tackles for loss, and 829 00:59:14,480 --> 00:59:17,880 Speaker 1: then seventeen and a half sacks and twenty nine tackles 830 00:59:17,920 --> 00:59:22,400 Speaker 1: for loss. In that four year stretch, JJ won three 831 00:59:22,480 --> 00:59:28,080 Speaker 1: Defensive Player of the Year awards. Had played sixty four games. 832 00:59:28,680 --> 00:59:36,120 Speaker 1: In those games, forced fifteen fumbles recovered ten, had sixty 833 00:59:36,240 --> 00:59:41,240 Speaker 1: nine sacks and one hundred and nineteen TFLs so he 834 00:59:41,640 --> 00:59:48,280 Speaker 1: averaged over a four year stretch three tackles for a 835 00:59:48,360 --> 00:59:53,960 Speaker 1: loss or sack per game, and one of those years 836 00:59:54,320 --> 00:59:58,280 Speaker 1: he added I think I'm gonna try to find it. Yeah. 837 00:59:58,320 --> 01:00:02,560 Speaker 1: One of those years he also add three touchdown catches. 838 01:00:03,160 --> 01:00:07,520 Speaker 1: Twenty fourteen, he was a walk on at Wisconsin. He 839 01:00:07,640 --> 01:00:11,960 Speaker 1: and Baker are no doubters on the college football walk 840 01:00:12,000 --> 01:00:15,240 Speaker 1: on Mount Rushmore.

All right, demand, let's 843 01:00:23,280 --> 01:00:26,120 Speaker 1: get to your sad team. 844 01:00:26,200 --> 01:00:29,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, so Matt Ravens got abused this weekend. We obviously 845 01:00:29,160 --> 01:00:32,320 Speaker 2: had a backup quarterback in We couldn't get anything going. 846 01:00:32,760 --> 01:00:35,280 Speaker 2: Our defense had CJ. Stroud out there thinking he was 847 01:00:35,360 --> 01:00:37,760 Speaker 2: young again. Man. But you're saying that we can still 848 01:00:37,760 --> 01:00:41,000 Speaker 2: win the division. I don't see it. I gotta say, 849 01:00:41,280 --> 01:00:44,560 Speaker 2: I don't know how much the Steelers are gonna slip. 850 01:00:45,840 --> 01:00:49,640 Speaker 1: So you making the playoffs, but well, I think the 851 01:00:49,680 --> 01:00:53,200 Speaker 1: only way they can make the playoffs is winning this division. Yeah, 852 01:00:53,440 --> 01:00:56,240 Speaker 1: because I think that the So they're one and four 853 01:00:56,280 --> 01:00:59,560 Speaker 1: and they're bad. They's a bad team right now. And 854 01:00:59,680 --> 01:01:03,320 Speaker 1: Lamar is gonna and listen, I thought they could win 855 01:01:03,440 --> 01:01:08,560 Speaker 1: that game. Yeah, with that, I certainly didn't think they 856 01:01:08,560 --> 01:01:15,800 Speaker 1: were just gonna quit and get annihilated. I mean, I 857 01:01:15,840 --> 01:01:22,600 Speaker 1: can check. Uh that was uh really disheartening performance and 858 01:01:22,800 --> 01:01:27,880 Speaker 1: that's probably couldn't understating it. It was thirty six to 859 01:01:28,000 --> 01:01:32,160 Speaker 1: twenty is thirty seven to twenty three, right, Derek Well. 860 01:01:32,280 --> 01:01:35,800 Speaker 1: Derrick Henry is another guy I'm worried about this year. 861 01:01:36,440 --> 01:01:39,160 Speaker 1: Dereck Henry was unbelievable in Week one, has not done 862 01:01:39,240 --> 01:01:46,200 Speaker 1: much since then. So you guys would need, obviously the 863 01:01:46,280 --> 01:01:50,080 Speaker 1: Steelers to slip up what you have going for you. 864 01:01:50,160 --> 01:01:56,520 Speaker 1: Demonse is you let's just assume you lose to the Rams. 865 01:01:57,800 --> 01:02:01,200 Speaker 1: You then have a bye week, Lamar will be. You 866 01:02:01,320 --> 01:02:05,320 Speaker 1: then face an absolute bunch of must wins in a row, 867 01:02:05,760 --> 01:02:09,920 Speaker 1: but they're very winnable must wins home for the Bears, 868 01:02:09,960 --> 01:02:14,360 Speaker 1: off a bye at Miami on a Thursday at the 869 01:02:14,440 --> 01:02:19,120 Speaker 1: Vikings with extra rest at the Browns home for the Jets, 870 01:02:19,480 --> 01:02:23,240 Speaker 1: home for the Bengals, before you face the Steelers at 871 01:02:23,240 --> 01:02:26,560 Speaker 1: home than at the Bengals, and then a very tough 872 01:02:26,600 --> 01:02:29,720 Speaker 1: final three games of the year home for the Patriots 873 01:02:29,760 --> 01:02:33,280 Speaker 1: at the Packers, at the Steelers. The defense is awful, 874 01:02:34,000 --> 01:02:39,960 Speaker 1: just awful. And listen, it's going to take a herculean 875 01:02:40,080 --> 01:02:48,800 Speaker 1: Lamar performance once he comes back. But I can't because 876 01:02:48,840 --> 01:02:52,840 Speaker 1: I don't yet fully believe in Pittsburgh. I can't write 877 01:02:52,880 --> 01:02:59,600 Speaker 1: off Baltimore entirely. But they look terrible. And we said 878 01:02:59,640 --> 01:03:03,640 Speaker 1: going in of the year, every year there's a team 879 01:03:03,720 --> 01:03:06,720 Speaker 1: that everyone expects to be excellent as the year from hell. 880 01:03:07,920 --> 01:03:10,520 Speaker 1: Last year it was the Niners. The year before that, 881 01:03:10,720 --> 01:03:15,200 Speaker 1: it was the Bengals, the year before that it was 882 01:03:15,440 --> 01:03:19,440 Speaker 1: the Rams. The Rams are coming off of Super Bowl. 883 01:03:19,480 --> 01:03:21,440 Speaker 1: They missed the playoffs. The Bengals were coming off back 884 01:03:21,440 --> 01:03:24,120 Speaker 1: to back AFC Championship Game appearances. They missed the playoffs. 885 01:03:24,440 --> 01:03:26,920 Speaker 1: The Niners were coming off a Super Bowl appearance. They 886 01:03:26,960 --> 01:03:31,880 Speaker 1: missed the playoffs. This year, the five teams that would 887 01:03:31,920 --> 01:03:37,320 Speaker 1: have qualified for everyone thinks they're going to be good Eagles, Lions, Chiefs, 888 01:03:37,440 --> 01:03:42,400 Speaker 1: Bill's Ravens. I understand the Chiefs have had been shaky, 889 01:03:43,040 --> 01:03:51,280 Speaker 1: but there it's the Ravens right now. Yeah, and it is. Yes, 890 01:03:51,440 --> 01:03:53,800 Speaker 1: you know, you guys have just been a bad team. Yeah, 891 01:03:54,040 --> 01:04:02,720 Speaker 1: you've just been bad and everyone. Yeah, but the defense 892 01:04:02,800 --> 01:04:05,800 Speaker 1: was pretty bad even before the injury started piling up, 893 01:04:06,280 --> 01:04:10,720 Speaker 1: which is what concerns me. All right, let's go to 894 01:04:10,800 --> 01:04:11,440 Speaker 1: Pats Bills. 895 01:04:12,320 --> 01:04:15,120 Speaker 2: Uh yeah, so maybe rollercoaster Josh Allen is back. They 896 01:04:15,120 --> 01:04:18,440 Speaker 2: had a few turnovers in that game. Drake may looked amazing, 897 01:04:19,320 --> 01:04:23,280 Speaker 2: But looking back on things, Buffalo came close to Baltimore 898 01:04:23,400 --> 01:04:26,000 Speaker 2: my Ravens in that one game, and one by a point. Like, 899 01:04:26,040 --> 01:04:27,600 Speaker 2: if you look at the teams these guys have played, 900 01:04:27,600 --> 01:04:29,800 Speaker 2: they haven't really beaten the best teams. What's going on 901 01:04:29,920 --> 01:04:30,440 Speaker 2: with the Bills? 902 01:04:31,080 --> 01:04:33,240 Speaker 1: Well, listen, I do think the Bills were a little 903 01:04:33,280 --> 01:04:38,960 Speaker 1: over inflated, right. They played Baltimore and had that stirring comeback, 904 01:04:39,560 --> 01:04:42,080 Speaker 1: and people looked at that as a huge badge of honor. 905 01:04:42,480 --> 01:04:44,200 Speaker 1: I think you now look at it and you're like, man, 906 01:04:44,240 --> 01:04:48,680 Speaker 1: why'd you like? Everybody's scoring on Baltimore the and so 907 01:04:48,880 --> 01:04:55,200 Speaker 1: that's a little different. They then blew out the Jets, 908 01:04:55,840 --> 01:04:58,880 Speaker 1: and that was you know, you play a bad team, 909 01:04:58,920 --> 01:05:00,880 Speaker 1: you're supposed to blow them out. They did blow him out. 910 01:05:00,920 --> 01:05:02,520 Speaker 1: They get credit a ton of credit for that, not 911 01:05:02,600 --> 01:05:06,320 Speaker 1: a ton, but credit for that. Then the Dolphins game, 912 01:05:06,720 --> 01:05:10,400 Speaker 1: they're tied midway through the fourth. The Saints game, it's 913 01:05:10,440 --> 01:05:12,760 Speaker 1: a two point game midway through the fourth and then 914 01:05:12,760 --> 01:05:15,640 Speaker 1: they get to just get stone beat by the Pats. 915 01:05:17,240 --> 01:05:22,800 Speaker 1: He I have two slight concerns for the Bills. One 916 01:05:23,000 --> 01:05:25,760 Speaker 1: is more than slight. Actually, I don't think the defense 917 01:05:25,840 --> 01:05:29,800 Speaker 1: is very good, and I think the defense is, you know, 918 01:05:29,920 --> 01:05:33,680 Speaker 1: slightly below average, and I think that's concerning. The other 919 01:05:33,800 --> 01:05:38,760 Speaker 1: thing isn't so much a concern, is an observation. They 920 01:05:38,800 --> 01:05:41,480 Speaker 1: have changed what they're asking Josh to do. The last 921 01:05:41,520 --> 01:05:44,800 Speaker 1: couple of years. They have asked him not to put 922 01:05:44,840 --> 01:05:48,200 Speaker 1: the cape on his often, just take care of the ball, 923 01:05:49,080 --> 01:05:51,840 Speaker 1: and he's done a great job of doing that until 924 01:05:51,840 --> 01:05:56,480 Speaker 1: the last couple of weeks. It is if you are 925 01:05:56,560 --> 01:06:05,200 Speaker 1: going to remove the explosives, then it's a prerequisite you 926 01:06:05,240 --> 01:06:08,560 Speaker 1: don't turn the ball over. Like the Bills have become 927 01:06:08,680 --> 01:06:14,440 Speaker 1: kind of a ball control methodical offense, and it's worked 928 01:06:14,480 --> 01:06:20,280 Speaker 1: great for them. Back when Josh used to turn the 929 01:06:20,280 --> 01:06:23,400 Speaker 1: ball over a lot, they also had to play eighty 930 01:06:23,520 --> 01:06:27,280 Speaker 1: yard touchdown drives and so you could offset it a bit. 931 01:06:28,280 --> 01:06:35,640 Speaker 1: With this style of offense, Demanse, you just can't turn the 932 01:06:35,680 --> 01:06:38,480 Speaker 1: ball over and that's what got him in this game. 933 01:06:38,880 --> 01:06:41,400 Speaker 1: And so again I think the Bills are going to 934 01:06:41,480 --> 01:06:44,400 Speaker 1: be fine, and the Bills. 935 01:06:44,400 --> 01:06:46,440 Speaker 2: Well, one of them was. I feel like, I don't 936 01:06:46,480 --> 01:06:48,880 Speaker 2: want to say dumb luck. Keon Coleman one can't really 937 01:06:48,880 --> 01:06:52,680 Speaker 2: blame on Josh, that's kind of I mean, obviously the pick. 938 01:06:52,560 --> 01:06:55,120 Speaker 1: Is on him, but the fumble, what was the Keon 939 01:06:55,200 --> 01:06:55,680 Speaker 1: Coleman one? 940 01:06:56,080 --> 01:06:58,280 Speaker 2: Well, you passed ke On Coleman. They ended up getting 941 01:06:58,320 --> 01:06:58,760 Speaker 2: a fumble. 942 01:07:00,440 --> 01:07:02,400 Speaker 1: Oh no, that one's not on Josh at all. 943 01:07:02,840 --> 01:07:05,080 Speaker 2: No, no, no, the mistakes. 944 01:07:05,160 --> 01:07:09,360 Speaker 1: No, they had three turnovers. Keon Coleman fumbles on Keon Coleman. 945 01:07:09,600 --> 01:07:12,320 Speaker 1: The interception was bad, and then they had a missed pitch. 946 01:07:12,480 --> 01:07:18,040 Speaker 1: I'm really just talking about the interception. And so listen 947 01:07:18,280 --> 01:07:26,280 Speaker 1: at the Falcons is their game Monday night, and then 948 01:07:26,320 --> 01:07:29,560 Speaker 1: they have a bye and then they play. They're at 949 01:07:29,600 --> 01:07:32,720 Speaker 1: the Panthers before their big Chiefs game. So I think 950 01:07:32,760 --> 01:07:36,160 Speaker 1: they're fine. But I did not view them before this 951 01:07:36,280 --> 01:07:39,240 Speaker 1: game as a juggernaut, and I don't view them currently 952 01:07:39,400 --> 01:07:41,800 Speaker 1: as a juggernaut. You want to talk about the Patriots 953 01:07:41,840 --> 01:07:42,800 Speaker 1: real quick before we move on. 954 01:07:43,440 --> 01:07:46,400 Speaker 2: So the Patriots are minus two hundred to make the playoffs. 955 01:07:46,520 --> 01:07:49,720 Speaker 2: Can you name seven better AFC teams? 956 01:07:50,080 --> 01:07:55,600 Speaker 1: No? I don't and that was the best win they've 957 01:07:55,640 --> 01:07:59,040 Speaker 1: had since Bill Belichick was coaching the team, and so 958 01:08:00,600 --> 01:08:05,880 Speaker 1: and Drake May played great and so. Like I said 959 01:08:05,880 --> 01:08:09,280 Speaker 1: this on the show yesterday, and I think it's fair 960 01:08:09,880 --> 01:08:15,480 Speaker 1: if you're a Patriot fan, I think a realistic ceiling 961 01:08:15,560 --> 01:08:21,920 Speaker 1: of your season now is you get you're the highest 962 01:08:21,960 --> 01:08:26,840 Speaker 1: seeded wild card team, so you're the five seed, and 963 01:08:26,880 --> 01:08:33,000 Speaker 1: you go on the road to Pittsburgh in round one 964 01:08:33,640 --> 01:08:38,880 Speaker 1: and beat them Like that would be that the Pittsburgh's 965 01:08:38,920 --> 01:08:42,559 Speaker 1: the lowest ranked, the lowest seeded divisional winner, the Patriots 966 01:08:42,600 --> 01:08:46,760 Speaker 1: are the highest seeded, you know, wild card team, and 967 01:08:46,800 --> 01:08:49,719 Speaker 1: you go get a playoff win. That would be awesome. 968 01:08:50,120 --> 01:08:52,360 Speaker 1: And I think they could do that, like I do. 969 01:08:52,439 --> 01:08:54,599 Speaker 1: I think that's in play for them. I picked them 970 01:08:54,600 --> 01:08:57,519 Speaker 1: to make the playoffs before the year. Partly was because 971 01:08:57,560 --> 01:09:01,439 Speaker 1: the schedule is so soft and and they now and 972 01:09:01,479 --> 01:09:04,280 Speaker 1: again sorry to do so much schedule stuff today that 973 01:09:04,479 --> 01:09:09,599 Speaker 1: it is now absolutely incumbent upon them. They they are 974 01:09:09,640 --> 01:09:14,120 Speaker 1: three and two. They must get to six and two. 975 01:09:14,760 --> 01:09:20,960 Speaker 1: Their next three demands at Saints, at Titans, home for Browns. Like, 976 01:09:21,240 --> 01:09:25,439 Speaker 1: if you are a real team, which you are supposed 977 01:09:25,439 --> 01:09:27,439 Speaker 1: to be right now, you've got to go take care 978 01:09:27,479 --> 01:09:31,360 Speaker 1: of business like that flatly, and I think they can 979 01:09:31,400 --> 01:09:32,760 Speaker 1: do it. I think they can get to six and 980 01:09:32,800 --> 01:09:35,639 Speaker 1: two and be, you know, a pain in Buffalo's side 981 01:09:35,640 --> 01:09:38,720 Speaker 1: all year.

All right, let's get 992 01:10:09,840 --> 01:10:11,600 Speaker 1: to the last game we're to spend real time on 993 01:10:11,640 --> 01:10:13,040 Speaker 1: before we get to the quick hitters. 994 01:10:13,439 --> 01:10:16,080 Speaker 2: So the Chargers have dropped two straight. Now what first? 995 01:10:16,200 --> 01:10:19,760 Speaker 2: The Giants? Now it's the Commanders. Those MVP chants for 996 01:10:19,800 --> 01:10:22,479 Speaker 2: Herbert have gotten a little quiet. He's now seventh place. 997 01:10:23,760 --> 01:10:26,439 Speaker 2: They've obviously got injuries, but you know, as justin Herbert, 998 01:10:26,439 --> 01:10:28,519 Speaker 2: you got to throw for these two hundred yards while 999 01:10:28,600 --> 01:10:32,840 Speaker 2: being down big as any any other quarterback had more excuses. 1000 01:10:34,760 --> 01:10:39,200 Speaker 1: Listen is made for them. Yeah, Herbert's not making the excuses, 1001 01:10:39,240 --> 01:10:43,960 Speaker 1: but his defenders are. And again, he's obviously a good player. 1002 01:10:44,680 --> 01:10:48,880 Speaker 1: He's obviously a good player, and he's obviously more than 1003 01:10:48,920 --> 01:10:52,400 Speaker 1: good when it comes out talented, he is. But and 1004 01:10:52,520 --> 01:10:56,000 Speaker 1: I know that that he's had some bad luck. But 1005 01:10:57,439 --> 01:11:02,000 Speaker 1: he's in year six. Man in year six, and this 1006 01:11:02,120 --> 01:11:05,479 Speaker 1: is the third straight game. And this is what is 1007 01:11:05,520 --> 01:11:14,160 Speaker 1: really concerning to me. The Broncos game, Okay, they're up 1008 01:11:14,439 --> 01:11:22,160 Speaker 1: ten to nothing moments into the second quarter. They then 1009 01:11:23,080 --> 01:11:30,040 Speaker 1: they are sitting on thirteen with three minutes left in 1010 01:11:30,120 --> 01:11:35,200 Speaker 1: the game. They now, he made that unbelievable play to 1011 01:11:35,520 --> 01:11:37,840 Speaker 1: that touchdown pass, one of the best plays of the year, 1012 01:11:38,120 --> 01:11:40,000 Speaker 1: to tie that game. Then they end up winning at 1013 01:11:40,000 --> 01:11:44,520 Speaker 1: the gun. But the Broncos game, they score ten immediately, 1014 01:11:45,080 --> 01:11:47,880 Speaker 1: then the offense goes quiet until the very end of 1015 01:11:47,880 --> 01:11:55,559 Speaker 1: the game. The Giants game, they just loose. You know. 1016 01:11:55,640 --> 01:11:58,880 Speaker 1: They they have ten at halftime, they finished the game 1017 01:11:58,920 --> 01:12:03,360 Speaker 1: with eighteen points. They have multiple possessions in the fourth quarter, 1018 01:12:03,800 --> 01:12:07,560 Speaker 1: down three, chance to tie or win, they can't take advantage, 1019 01:12:08,040 --> 01:12:12,439 Speaker 1: and the Commander's game, they have ten points with three 1020 01:12:12,520 --> 01:12:17,360 Speaker 1: minutes left in the first and they finish with ten points, 1021 01:12:17,800 --> 01:12:24,160 Speaker 1: like they have really quieted down, and that like if 1022 01:12:24,680 --> 01:12:27,800 Speaker 1: they were in such a great position being three to 1023 01:12:27,920 --> 01:12:32,919 Speaker 1: zero in the division, and now all of a sudden 1024 01:12:33,680 --> 01:12:39,280 Speaker 1: they're in a real dog fight with And we've known 1025 01:12:39,360 --> 01:12:44,479 Speaker 1: this all year about them that they have arguably the 1026 01:12:44,720 --> 01:12:50,599 Speaker 1: toughest December of any team in the league. December they 1027 01:12:50,640 --> 01:12:54,880 Speaker 1: do they go Eagles, Chiefs, Cowboys, Texans, Broncos with Chiefs, 1028 01:12:54,880 --> 01:12:58,360 Speaker 1: Cowboys and Broncos being on the road so they need 1029 01:13:00,280 --> 01:13:03,880 Speaker 1: a margin of error built in. And losing to the 1030 01:13:03,920 --> 01:13:08,800 Speaker 1: Giants and losing to the Commanders at home the first game, 1031 01:13:08,920 --> 01:13:13,920 Speaker 1: Jaden's back. When you're up ten, nothing is not great. 1032 01:13:14,800 --> 01:13:18,000 Speaker 1: And so listen, they looked awesome against the Chiefs, and 1033 01:13:18,040 --> 01:13:20,559 Speaker 1: I give him a ton of credit for that and 1034 01:13:21,320 --> 01:13:23,880 Speaker 1: they but now all of a sudden you look back 1035 01:13:23,880 --> 01:13:27,600 Speaker 1: and you're like that the Raiders have been terrible. So 1036 01:13:28,160 --> 01:13:30,320 Speaker 1: you know, that's what it is. And you know that 1037 01:13:30,400 --> 01:13:32,480 Speaker 1: was just a whiff by me up to this point. 1038 01:13:36,360 --> 01:13:38,559 Speaker 1: And the Broncos game that's a really you know, that's 1039 01:13:38,600 --> 01:13:43,240 Speaker 1: a really good win. But the Giants loss is awful 1040 01:13:43,640 --> 01:13:48,320 Speaker 1: and the Commander's loss was ugly, and Herbert, after starting 1041 01:13:48,360 --> 01:13:52,639 Speaker 1: the year with those amazing numbers, has fallen right back 1042 01:13:52,680 --> 01:13:55,960 Speaker 1: down to earth, and the injuries are piling up. Alt 1043 01:13:56,080 --> 01:13:59,879 Speaker 1: is injured, Mac is still injured. Their rookie running back Hampton, 1044 01:14:00,080 --> 01:14:02,960 Speaker 1: he just got put on the ir So Naji Harris 1045 01:14:03,040 --> 01:14:07,439 Speaker 1: obviously done for the year. Like, the injuries are really mounting, 1046 01:14:07,479 --> 01:14:14,160 Speaker 1: and so I I think that there is real concern 1047 01:14:14,280 --> 01:14:19,280 Speaker 1: with the Chargers, and I think that you're not gonna 1048 01:14:19,280 --> 01:14:22,439 Speaker 1: be able to blame the coach on this one. Like hardball, 1049 01:14:22,560 --> 01:14:25,160 Speaker 1: everybody thinks he's great. And again, I don't think Herbert's 1050 01:14:25,160 --> 01:14:28,400 Speaker 1: played terribly or anything. I just you just want a 1051 01:14:28,400 --> 01:14:32,120 Speaker 1: little more. You just want a little bit more. All right, 1052 01:14:32,160 --> 01:14:33,120 Speaker 1: what's the follow up here? 1053 01:14:33,720 --> 01:14:36,400 Speaker 2: So Jayde Daniels obviously just came back beat the charges 1054 01:14:36,439 --> 01:14:38,599 Speaker 2: coming off that injury. We were just talking about Drake 1055 01:14:38,680 --> 01:14:41,880 Speaker 2: may Do you think that Jaydon Daniels has some competition 1056 01:14:41,960 --> 01:14:43,400 Speaker 2: and best quarterback in the class? 1057 01:14:44,240 --> 01:14:46,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, listen, I still think it's a three way race. 1058 01:14:48,320 --> 01:14:53,000 Speaker 1: And by the way, Jaden against Caleb Monday night, who's 1059 01:14:53,000 --> 01:15:00,599 Speaker 1: the third and Jayden Caleb Drake, Oh, Caleb, Yeah, that's what. No, 1060 01:15:00,640 --> 01:15:03,759 Speaker 1: I think Caleb's still in it. He hasn't. Again, Caleb's 1061 01:15:03,800 --> 01:15:07,599 Speaker 1: had at this point as good of, if not a better, 1062 01:15:07,680 --> 01:15:11,920 Speaker 1: career than Drake May. Like the Drake May just got 1063 01:15:11,920 --> 01:15:14,439 Speaker 1: a signature win, you know what I mean. We just 1064 01:15:14,520 --> 01:15:17,639 Speaker 1: saw Drake May with a signature win in a standalone game. 1065 01:15:17,960 --> 01:15:20,559 Speaker 1: Caleb might get that this weekend. I mean it's Monday 1066 01:15:20,640 --> 01:15:26,559 Speaker 1: Night against Jayden. Like, I just think the it wasn't 1067 01:15:26,640 --> 01:15:30,639 Speaker 1: too early to say CJ was better than Bryce because 1068 01:15:30,680 --> 01:15:34,679 Speaker 1: Bryce was so bad and CJ was so good. But 1069 01:15:34,720 --> 01:15:37,479 Speaker 1: with and Jayden was so good, no doubt about it. 1070 01:15:37,800 --> 01:15:41,960 Speaker 1: But Drake and Caleb weren't terrible. They just weren't last 1071 01:15:42,840 --> 01:15:47,679 Speaker 1: was immediately. Yeah, Jayden had an amazing start to his career, 1072 01:15:47,720 --> 01:15:51,760 Speaker 1: but the the injuries with I think he's going to 1073 01:15:51,800 --> 01:15:53,519 Speaker 1: be more of an injury risk than the other two 1074 01:15:53,600 --> 01:15:56,920 Speaker 1: as well, which is a real concern. All right, let's 1075 01:15:56,920 --> 01:15:58,479 Speaker 1: do the real quick. 1076 01:15:58,520 --> 01:16:01,320 Speaker 2: All the other games, uh, Thursday night football, we had 1077 01:16:01,400 --> 01:16:04,719 Speaker 2: Niners defeating the Rams twenty six to twenty three going overtime. 1078 01:16:04,960 --> 01:16:10,000 Speaker 1: Unbelievable job by Kyle Shanahan and by Mac Jones, and 1079 01:16:10,040 --> 01:16:14,320 Speaker 1: a brutal loss for the Rams. Just a painful. You 1080 01:16:14,360 --> 01:16:15,519 Speaker 1: can't lose that game. 1081 01:16:16,040 --> 01:16:18,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, listen, hey, they're paying him too much, but. 1082 01:16:18,439 --> 01:16:22,080 Speaker 1: They're paying him. Yeah, they not paid him, there would 1083 01:16:22,080 --> 01:16:24,880 Speaker 1: be a real quarterback controversy, but they paid him. And 1084 01:16:24,920 --> 01:16:27,360 Speaker 1: I think Purty's better than Mac by the way, but 1085 01:16:28,400 --> 01:16:29,040 Speaker 1: this is one. 1086 01:16:28,960 --> 01:16:32,200 Speaker 2: Of those things they disagree. 1087 01:16:32,400 --> 01:16:37,800 Speaker 1: But also I I think people expect me to take 1088 01:16:37,920 --> 01:16:40,759 Speaker 1: like a I told you so, Victory lap On party 1089 01:16:40,800 --> 01:16:43,720 Speaker 1: in the Shanahan system and all this stuff. I don't 1090 01:16:43,800 --> 01:16:48,759 Speaker 1: really need to because it was so clear all along 1091 01:16:49,040 --> 01:16:55,120 Speaker 1: for anyone without an agenda, that I was right. And 1092 01:16:55,160 --> 01:16:59,320 Speaker 1: it's not that Purty's not good. It's that Kyle Shanahan's system, 1093 01:17:00,160 --> 01:17:03,280 Speaker 1: particularly once you had Christian McCaffrey, particularly once you had 1094 01:17:03,360 --> 01:17:07,599 Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey and all these other weapons, is a great 1095 01:17:07,720 --> 01:17:10,720 Speaker 1: inflation system for whatever quarterbacks in it, as long as 1096 01:17:10,720 --> 01:17:16,040 Speaker 1: they have just baseline starting ability. And he can make 1097 01:17:16,120 --> 01:17:20,360 Speaker 1: Jimmy Garoppolo look really good, can make Mac Jones look 1098 01:17:20,640 --> 01:17:23,719 Speaker 1: really good, and can make Purdy, who's better than both 1099 01:17:23,760 --> 01:17:29,439 Speaker 1: of those guys, look great, even though Garoppolo is flatly bad. 1100 01:17:29,840 --> 01:17:32,599 Speaker 1: Mac Jones, prior to his time with the Niners, had 1101 01:17:32,680 --> 01:17:35,439 Speaker 1: been flatly bad and party. We don't, you know, I 1102 01:17:35,439 --> 01:17:38,559 Speaker 1: think is fine, but he can like that. It's a 1103 01:17:38,640 --> 01:17:42,160 Speaker 1: Shanahan thing. And credit to the Niners. They've dealt with 1104 01:17:42,200 --> 01:17:44,960 Speaker 1: all these injuries and they're fine, and they're four and 1105 01:17:45,080 --> 01:17:48,439 Speaker 1: one and now play a huge game this weekend against Tampa. 1106 01:17:48,800 --> 01:17:52,120 Speaker 2: Next there are London game this week. Vikings to feeding 1107 01:17:52,120 --> 01:17:53,599 Speaker 2: the Browns twenty one seventeen. 1108 01:17:55,320 --> 01:17:59,920 Speaker 1: Uh, yeah, that I watched this whole game. I also 1109 01:18:00,680 --> 01:18:04,200 Speaker 1: made just a as square of a bet as one 1110 01:18:04,240 --> 01:18:10,080 Speaker 1: can make. I I the Browns were getting four before kickoff. 1111 01:18:11,439 --> 01:18:16,040 Speaker 1: At halftime, I bet the Browns laying two and a 1112 01:18:16,040 --> 01:18:19,719 Speaker 1: half because I thought Carson Wentz was out for the game, 1113 01:18:21,120 --> 01:18:25,080 Speaker 1: and then he wasn't, and then the Vikings won, and 1114 01:18:25,160 --> 01:18:28,760 Speaker 1: so that was a painful one. We don't need Dylan. Listen, 1115 01:18:28,840 --> 01:18:32,320 Speaker 1: Dylan Gabriel was fine. Dylan Gabriel was not great. He 1116 01:18:32,400 --> 01:18:34,439 Speaker 1: was fine and he'll be the start of there for 1117 01:18:34,439 --> 01:18:35,439 Speaker 1: the foreseeable future. 1118 01:18:35,560 --> 01:18:38,920 Speaker 2: Next, we got the Cowboys defeating the Jets thirty seven 1119 01:18:38,960 --> 01:18:39,559 Speaker 2: to twenty two. 1120 01:18:40,680 --> 01:18:43,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, we said before the year that Dak was gonna 1121 01:18:43,320 --> 01:18:45,200 Speaker 1: and the Cowboys were gonna have to do their best. 1122 01:18:45,280 --> 01:18:47,960 Speaker 1: Joe Burrow and the Bengals impersonation from last year, and 1123 01:18:48,000 --> 01:18:51,360 Speaker 1: it's exactly what they're doing right around five hundred. They 1124 01:18:51,360 --> 01:18:55,599 Speaker 1: are actually exactly five hundred and two to two and one, 1125 01:18:55,760 --> 01:19:05,960 Speaker 1: and and they and Dak is putting up an MVP 1126 01:19:06,160 --> 01:19:09,759 Speaker 1: caliber season. If we don't care about the team's record, 1127 01:19:09,880 --> 01:19:10,960 Speaker 1: just like Joe did last. 1128 01:19:10,840 --> 01:19:13,679 Speaker 2: Year, next we got the Saints to feed the Giants 1129 01:19:13,720 --> 01:19:14,839 Speaker 2: twenty six to fourteen. 1130 01:19:15,720 --> 01:19:18,200 Speaker 1: I have no interest in discussing this game. I guess 1131 01:19:18,280 --> 01:19:21,360 Speaker 1: Rattler's been fine. Good for him for avoiding going zero 1132 01:19:21,360 --> 01:19:24,040 Speaker 1: to eleven as a starter. That's a horrible loss for 1133 01:19:24,080 --> 01:19:28,080 Speaker 1: the Giants. And if you remember, we said that that 1134 01:19:28,240 --> 01:19:31,479 Speaker 1: line was fishy, that who in the world was betting 1135 01:19:31,520 --> 01:19:35,360 Speaker 1: the Saints laying points against the Giants team coming off 1136 01:19:35,400 --> 01:19:37,400 Speaker 1: that win and the Saints control the whole game. 1137 01:19:39,640 --> 01:19:41,639 Speaker 2: Colts defeat the Raiders forty to six. 1138 01:19:42,479 --> 01:19:44,759 Speaker 1: All Right, I might have been wrong about the Raiders. 1139 01:19:45,400 --> 01:19:49,400 Speaker 1: They just have to accept it. Gino's been brutal, the 1140 01:19:49,439 --> 01:19:55,120 Speaker 1: team's been awful. And here's here is something else that 1141 01:19:55,400 --> 01:20:00,360 Speaker 1: I was saying Demanse that the Colts after or two 1142 01:20:00,400 --> 01:20:05,479 Speaker 1: weeks they reminded me of last year's Saints. I want 1143 01:20:05,520 --> 01:20:09,160 Speaker 1: to amend that because I found a way better comp 1144 01:20:10,600 --> 01:20:15,920 Speaker 1: They are last year's Vikings, the team out of nowhere 1145 01:20:16,760 --> 01:20:23,960 Speaker 1: with the retread quarter that puts up these crazy numbers, 1146 01:20:24,200 --> 01:20:27,679 Speaker 1: gets off to a gaudy record in the regular season 1147 01:20:28,080 --> 01:20:33,960 Speaker 1: and then gets clocked in their first playoff games. 1148 01:20:34,040 --> 01:20:34,639 Speaker 2: Playoff game. 1149 01:20:35,280 --> 01:20:37,400 Speaker 1: Well, I listen, it won't be the first of his 1150 01:20:37,479 --> 01:20:42,519 Speaker 1: career because he but yeah, yeah, yes, yeah. I think 1151 01:20:42,560 --> 01:20:45,600 Speaker 1: the a f C Wild Guard I think whatever the 1152 01:20:45,680 --> 01:20:48,720 Speaker 1: a f C Wild Guard teams are demons are going 1153 01:20:48,800 --> 01:20:52,560 Speaker 1: to have a real good chance of beating the a 1154 01:20:52,720 --> 01:20:56,200 Speaker 1: f C South and a f C North Division winners 1155 01:20:56,280 --> 01:21:00,479 Speaker 1: on the road in the playoffs. So but the rule, 1156 01:21:01,680 --> 01:21:04,960 Speaker 1: I mean, listen to the Colts. The Colts have played 1157 01:21:05,360 --> 01:21:08,320 Speaker 1: two legitimate teams and played them both to the wire, 1158 01:21:08,720 --> 01:21:11,080 Speaker 1: the Broncos, who they won and the Rams who they lost. 1159 01:21:11,360 --> 01:21:15,599 Speaker 1: And they've played three bad teams and just smoked them all. 1160 01:21:16,120 --> 01:21:17,000 Speaker 1: So credit to them. 1161 01:21:17,479 --> 01:21:21,280 Speaker 2: Next, Panthers defeat the Dolphins twenty seven to twenty four. 1162 01:21:22,680 --> 01:21:26,200 Speaker 1: Man, Mike McDaniels seems so sad. Uh. 1163 01:21:26,360 --> 01:21:28,679 Speaker 2: Yeah, I saw the oppressor that he did. It seemed 1164 01:21:28,680 --> 01:21:32,519 Speaker 2: like he said nothing for like thirty seconds. I don't know, 1165 01:21:32,600 --> 01:21:34,639 Speaker 2: man's trying to get fired. 1166 01:21:34,920 --> 01:21:38,160 Speaker 1: I don't think he's trying to get fired. But he's 1167 01:21:38,800 --> 01:21:44,040 Speaker 1: he he's he's on till and it's not great. 1168 01:21:44,200 --> 01:21:44,840 Speaker 2: Sad to see. 1169 01:21:45,160 --> 01:21:48,360 Speaker 1: Uh. And and by the way, like Bryce has some 1170 01:21:48,400 --> 01:21:50,600 Speaker 1: of the worst plays you've ever seen in your life, 1171 01:21:50,760 --> 01:21:53,680 Speaker 1: and then late in these games rallies a bit. But 1172 01:21:53,800 --> 01:21:56,680 Speaker 1: like that fumble was just unbelievable. All right, let's go 1173 01:21:56,680 --> 01:21:57,280 Speaker 1: to the next thame. 1174 01:21:57,360 --> 01:22:01,080 Speaker 2: Think like the Jackson Dart fumble to feed the Cardinals 1175 01:22:01,080 --> 01:22:02,760 Speaker 2: twenty two to twenty one. 1176 01:22:03,200 --> 01:22:08,840 Speaker 1: I turned this game off and went full screen Baker Seahawks, 1177 01:22:09,160 --> 01:22:13,040 Speaker 1: and I couldn't believe what when I saw. 1178 01:22:13,120 --> 01:22:16,160 Speaker 2: That touchdown I've ever seen in my life. I don't 1179 01:22:16,160 --> 01:22:18,200 Speaker 2: think I've ever seen a touchdown scored in that type 1180 01:22:18,200 --> 01:22:18,679 Speaker 2: of fashion. 1181 01:22:18,680 --> 01:22:22,000 Speaker 1: Why literally the fumble and then that and then all 1182 01:22:22,080 --> 01:22:25,040 Speaker 1: of it. Also Jonathan Gannon getting a bit of a 1183 01:22:25,080 --> 01:22:28,919 Speaker 1: pass for seemingly punching his couple of times. That was crazy. 1184 01:22:29,640 --> 01:22:31,880 Speaker 1: That was crazy. Also, let me say one other thing 1185 01:22:32,479 --> 01:22:33,920 Speaker 1: I think he scored. 1186 01:22:35,240 --> 01:22:37,760 Speaker 2: That was that I thought that one was really close too. 1187 01:22:38,640 --> 01:22:41,479 Speaker 1: I thought it was way too close to overturn. It 1188 01:22:41,560 --> 01:22:45,880 Speaker 1: felt like they were that they overturned it, like on principle, 1189 01:22:46,360 --> 01:22:50,320 Speaker 1: like you shouldn't have been screwing around making an example. Yeah, 1190 01:22:50,520 --> 01:22:52,840 Speaker 1: I thought that was a Listen, obviously the guy made 1191 01:22:52,880 --> 01:22:54,680 Speaker 1: a big mistake, but I think he I thought he 1192 01:22:54,800 --> 01:22:55,760 Speaker 1: scored all. 1193 01:22:55,680 --> 01:22:59,160 Speaker 2: Right, Last Lives to Feed the Bengals thirty seven to 1194 01:22:59,160 --> 01:22:59,719 Speaker 2: twenty four. 1195 01:23:00,240 --> 01:23:04,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, Lions look excellent. The Bengals are cooked the bank. 1196 01:23:04,320 --> 01:23:07,400 Speaker 1: I mean, the Bengals are just flat cooked. All right, 1197 01:23:07,479 --> 01:23:09,160 Speaker 1: Let's get to a few listener questions. 1198 01:23:11,600 --> 01:23:15,439 Speaker 2: If uh waffle says Nick, the Knick's hair will never 1199 01:23:15,479 --> 01:23:18,479 Speaker 2: be as nice as Trevor's and we're gonna throw away. 1200 01:23:18,560 --> 01:23:21,599 Speaker 1: Well, no, that's obviously true that. I mean, that's listen. 1201 01:23:21,680 --> 01:23:24,720 Speaker 1: The guy's got the guy's got glorious hair. There's no 1202 01:23:24,800 --> 01:23:27,880 Speaker 1: there's no question my nice as Trevers. I'm not going 1203 01:23:27,960 --> 01:23:35,000 Speaker 1: for it. The producers are trying to do a bit here. Graphically, 1204 01:23:35,040 --> 01:23:36,880 Speaker 1: they figured out how to do it. They're trying to 1205 01:23:36,920 --> 01:23:39,519 Speaker 1: put They need me to, like, I think, rotate in 1206 01:23:39,520 --> 01:23:41,840 Speaker 1: my chair. Guys, we're gonna have to save this for 1207 01:23:41,880 --> 01:23:43,920 Speaker 1: another time. Let's go on to the question. 1208 01:23:44,160 --> 01:23:46,479 Speaker 2: Curtis asked, if the Lions beat the Chiefs next week, 1209 01:23:46,520 --> 01:23:49,120 Speaker 2: are they the Super Bowl favorites? I feel like, uh, 1210 01:23:49,240 --> 01:23:51,639 Speaker 2: it's Lions here due to the lack of any serious 1211 01:23:51,640 --> 01:23:52,439 Speaker 2: threats in the UNFC. 1212 01:23:56,840 --> 01:24:01,160 Speaker 1: They might be favorites already. But here's the thing, No, 1213 01:24:01,280 --> 01:24:06,439 Speaker 1: the Bills are still the favorites the I don't think. 1214 01:24:07,040 --> 01:24:11,479 Speaker 1: Right now, the NFC looks harder than the AFC. Right now, 1215 01:24:11,520 --> 01:24:15,200 Speaker 1: it looks like So here's the part. If you're let 1216 01:24:15,240 --> 01:24:20,000 Speaker 1: me real quick, Josh and Patrick are gonna make the 1217 01:24:20,000 --> 01:24:25,080 Speaker 1: playoffs and look around at the other quarterbacks and they 1218 01:24:25,080 --> 01:24:29,799 Speaker 1: are going to see old man Aaron Rodgers, Daniel Jones, 1219 01:24:30,240 --> 01:24:35,479 Speaker 1: Drake may maybe bone knicks my guy, Trevor Right, that's 1220 01:24:35,479 --> 01:24:41,360 Speaker 1: what they're gonna be looking at. In the NFC, it's 1221 01:24:41,400 --> 01:24:47,000 Speaker 1: gonna be Super Bowl champion, Jalen Hurts, playoff stud, Baker Mayfield, 1222 01:24:47,760 --> 01:24:51,360 Speaker 1: Matt Stafford, Jared Goff, who's been to a Super Bowl, 1223 01:24:51,640 --> 01:24:54,720 Speaker 1: Jaden Daniels, who's been to NFC champion. You know what 1224 01:24:54,760 --> 01:24:58,040 Speaker 1: I mean. It's this has not been how it's been 1225 01:24:58,160 --> 01:25:02,519 Speaker 1: the last decade. But the projected quarterback field in the 1226 01:25:02,640 --> 01:25:06,640 Speaker 1: NFC is way deeper than the projected quarterback field in 1227 01:25:06,680 --> 01:25:07,160 Speaker 1: the AFC. 1228 01:25:07,600 --> 01:25:11,680 Speaker 2: It's like school in the AFC, younger guy, ye new 1229 01:25:11,760 --> 01:25:14,000 Speaker 2: school AFC, older guys n FC. 1230 01:25:14,320 --> 01:25:16,799 Speaker 1: Right, which is not how it's been. It's very interesting. 1231 01:25:16,840 --> 01:25:17,160 Speaker 1: All right. 1232 01:25:17,280 --> 01:25:21,600 Speaker 2: Next, Danny, as, is Chris Jones having a save my 1233 01:25:21,680 --> 01:25:24,439 Speaker 2: best effort for the playoff season or is he washed? 1234 01:25:25,080 --> 01:25:28,200 Speaker 1: He's definitely not washed. But he's got to play better. Listen, 1235 01:25:28,280 --> 01:25:34,240 Speaker 1: Chris has to play better. And I'm not you know, 1236 01:25:34,400 --> 01:25:37,559 Speaker 1: last week was special when he went to that funeral, 1237 01:25:37,760 --> 01:25:40,720 Speaker 1: flew back day of and you know, played in that 1238 01:25:40,840 --> 01:25:45,559 Speaker 1: Ravens game. Uh. But and he's getting double teamed or 1239 01:25:45,560 --> 01:25:49,320 Speaker 1: triple team to every play. I get that. But he's 1240 01:25:49,360 --> 01:25:51,320 Speaker 1: got to play better and he's gotta, you know, give 1241 01:25:51,560 --> 01:25:53,840 Speaker 1: better effort on the final plays. Like that's all fair. 1242 01:25:54,680 --> 01:25:57,439 Speaker 1: But I believe Chris Jones future first ballot Hall of Famer. 1243 01:25:57,439 --> 01:26:00,600 Speaker 1: I believe in him.
