1
00:00:08,760 --> 00:00:11,960
Speaker 1: Hi, and welcome to the official Good Morning Football podcast

2
00:00:12,280 --> 00:00:14,320
Speaker 1: and Will solve and here are the best moments from

3
00:00:14,360 --> 00:00:17,440
Speaker 1: this week so far at the Breakfast Table week seventeen,

4
00:00:17,520 --> 00:00:21,160
Speaker 1: wrapping up the regular season in style, from record breaking

5
00:00:21,200 --> 00:00:25,200
Speaker 1: performances to a win, and in Sunday night showdown, let's

6
00:00:25,239 --> 00:00:27,520
Speaker 1: find out what the Breakfast Table thought about some of

7
00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:31,760
Speaker 1: the biggest games from week seventeen. What entries you, guys

8
00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:33,680
Speaker 1: and most about these two wild card matchups in the AFC.

9
00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:36,480
Speaker 1: I gotta say, because two weeks ago they did play

10
00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:40,000
Speaker 1: the Ravens and the Chargers, that one was at night

11
00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:43,720
Speaker 1: on West Coast time, in West Coast weather. I can't

12
00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:47,320
Speaker 1: imagine a worse draw for the Chargers that to go

13
00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:50,880
Speaker 1: and play at ten am local on Sunday ten am

14
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:53,320
Speaker 1: local on the East Coast, because they're a West Coast team,

15
00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:55,520
Speaker 1: that's not when their body clocks are set. They're going

16
00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:57,840
Speaker 1: into the cold weather, and they're playing a team that

17
00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:00,200
Speaker 1: just manhandled them just less than fourteen days to go.

18
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:02,720
Speaker 1: So I am curious to see how they use that

19
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:05,720
Speaker 1: experience to bounce back. But if you're an NFL team

20
00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:07,200
Speaker 1: and you're getting the draw of when you're playing and

21
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:09,440
Speaker 1: where you're playing and how you're playing. When I see

22
00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:12,600
Speaker 1: that one o'clock Eastern. If I'm a West Coast team,

23
00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:15,360
Speaker 1: i think the NFL did me dirty and I'm not happy.

24
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:18,040
Speaker 1: But you know what, especially with that record, go win

25
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:19,560
Speaker 1: the division and you don't have to deal with that.

26
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:20,920
Speaker 1: You have a home game and you can get it done.

27
00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:22,560
Speaker 1: There is there a case to be made for them

28
00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:26,640
Speaker 1: being better on the road this year. Yeah, They're two

29
00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:31,640
Speaker 1: best wins are in Kansas City and in Pittsbisburgh. Traveling,

30
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:34,000
Speaker 1: I mean I was ruining for Banker. I was ruined

31
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:35,800
Speaker 1: for Baker on that last drive. I was like, come on, Steelers,

32
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:37,520
Speaker 1: They've done, been there and done that. This is a

33
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:39,520
Speaker 1: way tougher draw because no one's able to stop the

34
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:42,120
Speaker 1: run in what Lamar Jackson is doing. Nobody Well that

35
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:45,560
Speaker 1: last clip of Baker Mayfield running off the field, yeah

36
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:47,120
Speaker 1: I didn't see that was my first time seeing that.

37
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:49,000
Speaker 1: So I would love to do a deeper dive on

38
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:51,880
Speaker 1: that because if indeed he didn't stop and say congratulations

39
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:54,840
Speaker 1: or just show Lamar Jackson love, I feel like that's

40
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:57,120
Speaker 1: taking the week way out. I think I did see

41
00:01:57,120 --> 00:01:59,040
Speaker 1: a shot of them hugging it out Okay, I think

42
00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:01,000
Speaker 1: I did all right, I didn't see I didn't see that,

43
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:03,280
Speaker 1: so I want to bring that up before I moved on.

44
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:06,320
Speaker 1: Now when it comes to this game Chargers in Baltimore,

45
00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:08,680
Speaker 1: I feel like the butt whooping the Chargers took helps them.

46
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:10,799
Speaker 1: You know, some people say, well, how does it because

47
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:13,680
Speaker 1: they got smacked up on their home field. It's true,

48
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:16,440
Speaker 1: but if you ever got in a fight in middle

49
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:19,760
Speaker 1: school or in elementary, getting the butt whooping helps, Yeah,

50
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:22,480
Speaker 1: because you know what's coming now. They're not caught off up.

51
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:24,640
Speaker 1: Now they can game plan for what they know. The

52
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:26,960
Speaker 1: Baltimore Ravens is going to do. So for me, I

53
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:28,760
Speaker 1: think that did help the fact that they got beat

54
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:30,480
Speaker 1: on their home field, the Chargers are going to be

55
00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:33,000
Speaker 1: in this game a little bit more focused than the previous. Yeah,

56
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:36,560
Speaker 1: I'll talk Colts Texas Texas quickly. That the Deshaun Watsons

57
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:38,080
Speaker 1: gonna be running for his life. He really needs to.

58
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:40,000
Speaker 1: He just said a record the most time is being

59
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:42,679
Speaker 1: sacked for a team that makes the playoffs. Ted Kenn

60
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:45,440
Speaker 1: O'Brien in nineteen eighty five. O'Brien the first round got

61
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:46,880
Speaker 1: knocked out of the game and knocking out of the

62
00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:49,160
Speaker 1: game that they lost. The Colts are coming for the Texas.

63
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:51,120
Speaker 1: We saw what happened last time. Deshaun Watson got to

64
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:53,000
Speaker 1: play the game of his life because he is running

65
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:57,200
Speaker 1: like crazy Indians one, nine to ten, and they they

66
00:02:57,240 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 1: whipped him last time. But they got some horses on this.

67
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:02,000
Speaker 1: Guess we'll talk about it all week. Yeah. Looking at

68
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:05,200
Speaker 1: these two matchups, Kyle Brandt or this matchup now between

69
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:08,239
Speaker 1: the Eagles and the Bears is an interesting one for you.

70
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:10,760
Speaker 1: Mom and dad are fighting now. It is the game

71
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:13,240
Speaker 1: of the year right here. Well, I'm so fired up.

72
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:15,280
Speaker 1: This is the game of the year. What would you

73
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:18,760
Speaker 1: rather have? Would you rather have the crazy, lights out

74
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:22,240
Speaker 1: playoff defense at home? That sounds good, right, yes? Against

75
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:25,680
Speaker 1: the hot quarterback. The hot quarterback twenty five straight completion

76
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:27,839
Speaker 1: just because he could, because he felt like it's this

77
00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:30,440
Speaker 1: isn't I'm telling you right now, I've been I've been

78
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:32,280
Speaker 1: hot with predictions. This is the game of the year.

79
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:34,000
Speaker 1: This is the game of the year. I don't know

80
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:36,160
Speaker 1: who I like yet. I like both these teams. This

81
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:38,560
Speaker 1: is going to be incredible. The Bears let the Eagles

82
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:40,480
Speaker 1: in at a certain point in that game. They're looking

83
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:43,200
Speaker 1: at that Ram scoreboard. They can pick and choose who

84
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:45,560
Speaker 1: do I want to face, And Kirk Cousins did not

85
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:47,360
Speaker 1: bring it yesterday. Easily you could say, I want the

86
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:49,760
Speaker 1: Viking Cliffs pull our stars to make it happen. They

87
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 1: want those Eagles. They have the number one scoring defense.

88
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:55,400
Speaker 1: They stole that from the Ravens yesterday. And I think

89
00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:57,480
Speaker 1: being at home, with the which Risky played it on

90
00:03:57,520 --> 00:03:59,119
Speaker 1: the road and the way he plays at home where

91
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:01,920
Speaker 1: he's seven and one, I'm pretty confident. As a Bears fan,

92
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:04,360
Speaker 1: I feel like the Bears they were gonna win that

93
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:06,400
Speaker 1: the way they wanted to win that, regardless. There was

94
00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:08,440
Speaker 1: no take your foot off the break, let's play the

95
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:11,360
Speaker 1: backup them. Yeah, they've malled him, and that's exactly what

96
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:13,120
Speaker 1: their plan was. Their plan wasn't all right, let's check

97
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:14,720
Speaker 1: the score, brother, let's figure out a way to get

98
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:16,840
Speaker 1: our second team. Man. No, you want to keep them

99
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:18,880
Speaker 1: momentum going because you have a young team. You don't

100
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:22,160
Speaker 1: want any inkling of doubt. You want any inkling of

101
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:25,000
Speaker 1: confidence being shaken up. I mean, I feel like they

102
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:26,760
Speaker 1: learned from last year. When you look at what the

103
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:28,400
Speaker 1: Rams did, you know, resting guys at the end of the

104
00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:30,280
Speaker 1: the season and then going into the playoffs and just

105
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:33,040
Speaker 1: not having the juice. Right now, the Bears have the juice,

106
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:36,520
Speaker 1: and to Kyle's point, so do the damn because they

107
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:39,119
Speaker 1: look strong and I'm not betting against Nick foles magic.

108
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:41,560
Speaker 1: Oh no, sir, he used the word damn. I wouldn't

109
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:45,080
Speaker 1: do that anywhere near Nick Foles either. That's Dolly Dolly

110
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:48,480
Speaker 1: is healthy? Is he hurt? I've spoken to guys that

111
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:50,960
Speaker 1: the Eagle's organization. They say he's gonna be okay, at

112
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:52,960
Speaker 1: least they hope. So that's gonna be somebody the track

113
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:55,120
Speaker 1: here because Nick Foles was playing better than any other

114
00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:57,000
Speaker 1: quarterback in the league. Yesterday was his Coo de gras,

115
00:04:57,040 --> 00:04:58,880
Speaker 1: and we've seen him to an amazing performance in the

116
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:01,680
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. Admit five straight compleation. I don't care if

117
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:04,200
Speaker 1: this is a banged up Redskins secondary. I don't care

118
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:06,359
Speaker 1: if this is with after the DJ swearing jer mess.

119
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:08,360
Speaker 1: This is an NFL defense that's coming and playing and

120
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:11,599
Speaker 1: HOLFL guys who are paid and playing at home. Falls

121
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:15,160
Speaker 1: is dialed in right now. Look, Brady's great. I love Mahomes.

122
00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:19,040
Speaker 1: Rivers is a really great quarterback, is tremendous. There may

123
00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:20,960
Speaker 1: be no quarterback in the NFL. I'd rather have undercent

124
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:22,680
Speaker 1: it right now for me than the Nick Foles and

125
00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:25,880
Speaker 1: the playoffs are here excited about this. The playoff pictures

126
00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:30,080
Speaker 1: are all set. What did you learn the Giants lost again?

127
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:33,279
Speaker 1: Forgotten season. I used to have this VHS tape that

128
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:35,400
Speaker 1: was Michael Jordan Come Fly with Me. It was the

129
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:37,560
Speaker 1: first video I ever put out, and it was the

130
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:41,400
Speaker 1: most unbelievably slow mo jumps I've ever seen. What Sequan

131
00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:45,280
Speaker 1: did at that goal line that was insane. This is

132
00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:47,760
Speaker 1: he takes off about the four I need the R.

133
00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:51,240
Speaker 1: Kelly music playing on the background. This is space jam.

134
00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:55,280
Speaker 1: Look at that and that should be the logo on

135
00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:58,480
Speaker 1: whatever corporation he starts for his own merchandise, which he should.

136
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:00,240
Speaker 1: And people are like, oh, it's never been done before.

137
00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:03,120
Speaker 1: Speaking of Chicago athletes, I remember the sweetness used to

138
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:05,560
Speaker 1: do it like that. Walter is the only guy. Oh

139
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:08,039
Speaker 1: my god, look, I mean there's the trampoline there. Walter

140
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:10,800
Speaker 1: Payton would get up like sa Quan and what we

141
00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:13,960
Speaker 1: saw in this season from the Giants lost season, bad season, Say,

142
00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:16,159
Speaker 1: Quan is so unbelievable, And I'll go to my graves

143
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:18,080
Speaker 1: and they did the right job taking him instead of

144
00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:19,880
Speaker 1: a quarterback. I don't care how good those guys are,

145
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:22,800
Speaker 1: because Sakelan's gonna be a Hall of Fame player. Unbelievable. Yeah.

146
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:24,680
Speaker 1: For me, I'm taking out a team that lost, also

147
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:26,200
Speaker 1: what I learned from them, and a guy that I

148
00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:29,160
Speaker 1: thought actually won the last two months. Greg Williams might

149
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:31,560
Speaker 1: never coach another game for the Cleveland Browns, but man,

150
00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:33,240
Speaker 1: what did he give us the last two months? Which

151
00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:36,200
Speaker 1: is awesome for the Browns five of seven? They win

152
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:38,240
Speaker 1: their last five of seven games, and they're gonna probably

153
00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:40,120
Speaker 1: look to interview a bunch of different candids. He's still

154
00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:43,000
Speaker 1: got a shot to get the job. But yesterday at

155

167
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:14,160
Speaker 1: a look at the teams in need of a head coach.

168
00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:18,640
Speaker 1: That is your eight spots, eight destinations. Gonna hit up

169
00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:21,040
Speaker 1: the LinkedIn and try to find their guy. But let

170
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:24,680
Speaker 1: us try our best to recruit coaches to these cities.

171
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:27,600
Speaker 1: I would like to know, out of those eight, where

172
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:30,760
Speaker 1: is the best job ever? Where's the best job ever?

173
00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:35,360
Speaker 1: Job ever? So the best job ever would be the

174
00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:39,040
Speaker 1: Cleveland Browns. There's nothing better than Cleveland Browns. They're anchored

175
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:40,360
Speaker 1: by one of the best vets in the league, a

176
00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:43,320
Speaker 1: guy who's passionate, Jarvis Landry. Okay, what about the young

177
00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:46,720
Speaker 1: players though? Starts with Baker Mayfield, a guy who sat

178
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:48,520
Speaker 1: before the draft. I want to be there. I want

179
00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:50,720
Speaker 1: to help change the culture. And then you got guys

180
00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:54,400
Speaker 1: like denzil Ward Nick Chubb. Are we forgetting about Miles

181
00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:57,360
Speaker 1: Garrett and just how good he is? Keep talking about

182
00:07:57,400 --> 00:07:59,680
Speaker 1: Khalil Mack and how Dominie is. Miles Garrett got the

183
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:02,880
Speaker 1: same Robin have sex. All right, let's move on to

184
00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:06,160
Speaker 1: what are you gonna do moving forward? You know, the

185
00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:09,640
Speaker 1: recipe of success for young quarterbacks is having a young QB,

186
00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:12,960
Speaker 1: don't pay him a lot, and you provide talent around him.

187
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:17,440
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson did in the second season Super Bowl. How

188
00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:20,520
Speaker 1: about Carson Wentz, young talent, Let's build around them. How

189
00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:23,600
Speaker 1: about Patrick Maha. You get warm going and they got

190
00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:27,440
Speaker 1: eighty million in cap Cleveland Browns the best location for

191
00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:32,160
Speaker 1: anybody to land. You never leave Cleveland. Good, Hey, just

192
00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:35,240
Speaker 1: do what Lebron did, baby, bring a championship back to Cleveland,

193
00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:37,720
Speaker 1: and it will never be the same. We're all gonna

194
00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:41,760
Speaker 1: be witnesses. We're all gonna be witnesses in Cleveland, no doubt.

195
00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:44,000
Speaker 1: I have friends. We all have friends who they played

196
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:45,280
Speaker 1: in the NFL for a little bit and to dry

197
00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:46,640
Speaker 1: it up. I asked one of my friends when I said,

198
00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:48,559
Speaker 1: why don't you get into coaching? You'd be great. This's hell. No,

199
00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:51,160
Speaker 1: my wife will not let me get into coaching. Terrible lifestyle.

200
00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:54,000
Speaker 1: I can't put up with that. For me, the best

201
00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:57,000
Speaker 1: job ever in coaching is one that you cannot lose.

202
00:08:57,320 --> 00:08:59,559
Speaker 1: I would go to Cincinnati, guys, because based on the

203
00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:01,840
Speaker 1: opportunit who is before me. This is how I think

204
00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:04,800
Speaker 1: the interview goes. Um, welcome to Cincinnati Bengals. Are you

205
00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:07,080

206
00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:09,400
Speaker 1: respect you? Yes? They Do you get in the community, yes?

207
00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:11,959
Speaker 1: When can you start? Now? Hold on? Hold on? Hold on.

208
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:13,760

Speaker 1: It's okay. I think we can win. We'll get to that.

210
00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:19,200
Speaker 1: Stop bragging. If you're a good person and the players

211
00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:21,360
Speaker 1: like you, and you don't embarrass us, you can come

212
00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:24,600
Speaker 1: to Cincinnati. It's great, Marvinous here forever. But I think

213
00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:27,240
Speaker 1: we can. We'll get into all that stuff later. That

214
00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:30,920
Speaker 1: to me is the job. There's a Cowboys job down

215
00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:33,080
Speaker 1: the road you can get sometime. You know, the guys

216
00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:35,360
Speaker 1: are gonna be America's team, the Bengals. I don't even

217
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:37,800
Speaker 1: think our Ohio's team at this point. Just show up,

218
00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:39,439

221
00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:45,719
Speaker 1: would be in my Bengos show because I want to

222
00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:48,440
Speaker 1: keep it. Look sincerely, from since my wife and I

223
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:50,080
Speaker 1: can buy a house, we can get our kids in

224
00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:53,480
Speaker 1: schools and stressed that much about playoffs and winning playoff games.

225
00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:56,000
Speaker 1: We're just gonna be there year after year after year.

226
00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:57,920
Speaker 1: So I'm going to since you guys sign me up

227
00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:03,079
Speaker 1: for that chili spaghetti stuff. What is that called chili

228
00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:05,720
Speaker 1: chi chilli? There we go. I'm gonna say green Bay

229
00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:08,080
Speaker 1: is the best play and I could tell you that

230
00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:11,120
Speaker 1: if you think of the NFL history and tradition, it's

231
00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:13,920
Speaker 1: all rooted in green Bay. The trophy that you get

232
00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:16,480
Speaker 1: fromin the Super Bowl is named after a green Bay coach.

233
00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:18,760
Speaker 1: To that is what is at stake here. Those are

234
00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:21,120
Speaker 1: the walls that you're walking through every day. I could

235
00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:24,800
Speaker 1: talk about their stability, that four coaches in twenty six years.

236
00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:26,800
Speaker 1: I can talk about what they mean you need to

237
00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:29,079
Speaker 1: play with. Aaron Rodgers also eve a ton of cap space.

238
00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:32,400
Speaker 1: You're you know, front office hasn't even called the front officer.

239
00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:34,880
Speaker 1: It is right. Their front office is being more bold

240
00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:38,559
Speaker 1: in free agency. There's cap space. Some toys for this guy.

241
00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:43,760
Speaker 1: I like it. Good Rogers as a closer girls the tape,

242
00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:46,040
Speaker 1: it's hard. It's hard to question that. Look. I can

243
00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:49,120
Speaker 1: tell you guys about Sam Darnold six foot three, son

244
00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:51,679
Speaker 1: of a firefighter with a golden arm and a chisel jawlane.

245
00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:53,839
Speaker 1: I can tell you about Jamal Adams might be the

246
00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:56,040
Speaker 1: most exciting young safety and football. I can tell you

247
00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:59,000
Speaker 1: about a player friendly owner, Christopher Johnson, who eats lunch

248
00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:01,800
Speaker 1: in the team cafeteria every day. This guy will do

249
00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:03,959
Speaker 1: whatever it takes for the coaches and the players to

250
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:07,240
Speaker 1: feel support. I can tell you all about that. But guys,

251
00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:10,560
Speaker 1: there's only one media market in the world. There's only

252
00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:13,000
Speaker 1: one number one media market in the world. There's only

253
00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:16,200
Speaker 1: one city so nice they named it twice. And if

254
00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:18,599
Speaker 1: all the coaching jobs, there's only one place where you

255
00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:21,000
Speaker 1: could be the biggest story in the biggest town in

256
00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:24,440
Speaker 1: the entire universe. Christopher Johnson said it yesterday on its

257
00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:27,000
Speaker 1: press commerdes If you win here, you can be a

258
00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:30,800
Speaker 1: freaking legend. Is a freaking legend? You want to be

259
00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:33,920
Speaker 1: a coach in the eighteenth media market? Yeah, how about

Speaker 1: like being a winner in New York City. There is

265
00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:54,800
Speaker 1: no place and no town that celebrates greatness better than

266
00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:58,040
Speaker 1: this place right here. Don't be scared of the bright lights. Baby.

267
00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:00,240
Speaker 1: If you want to be a coach and you want

268
00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:02,440
Speaker 1: to work to the Apex, come and bring the Jets

Speaker 1: I love the Appleton Airport. It's wonderful, the cheese Kurds.

273
00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:20,000
Speaker 1: But New York City that is a Sirens song right

274
00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:23,160
Speaker 1: singing right there. Don't you think that James Dolan have

275
00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:26,199
Speaker 1: the same pitch every mascot. If you win here in

276
00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:29,719
Speaker 1: the Garden, you're a star Tortarrella. If you win here

277
00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:35,599
Speaker 1: there through Yeah, it's aiming for the skis right for

278
00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:38,679
Speaker 1: the stars. Said you you made for security, You said Rogers,

279
00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:40,920
Speaker 1: You said young promising, I got the city, I got

00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:46,439
Speaker 1: the uniform, in the players, give me the city season, Like,

282
00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:50,599
Speaker 1: what kind of you most successful for those Jets in

283
00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:54,239
Speaker 1: New York? A competent coach who can work with ownership

284
00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:56,160
Speaker 1: in a front office and can get these guys to

285
00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:59,000
Speaker 1: play every Sunday. Okay, early in the season we were

286
00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:01,640
Speaker 1: skeptical if few of these teams would be playoff contenders,

287
00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:04,040
Speaker 1: and now they're making a push right in time for

288
00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:06,679
Speaker 1: the post season. Yesterday on the show, I said, I

289
00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:09,640
Speaker 1: just love this AFC guys. AFC just seems really wide open,

290
00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:13,720
Speaker 1: is it? And if it is cooty like, it's wild

291
00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:15,920
Speaker 1: because the teams that barely snuck in the club are

292
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:17,840
Speaker 1: really good. If you look at the back, I mean

293
00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:20,280
Speaker 1: the Colts, they haven't lost, They've lost one game in

294
00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:22,880
Speaker 1: three months. The Chargers are a twelve win team. Baltimore

295
00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:25,199
Speaker 1: is terrifying. And if you remember last year, take a

296
00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:26,719
Speaker 1: trip back last year. You remember at the end of

297
00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:30,040
Speaker 1: last season, the Niners and the Chargers with Garoppolo and

298
00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:32,439
Speaker 1: Rivers came tearing down the stretch and they didn't get

299
00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:34,520
Speaker 1: in and we kept saying, man, if those teams got

300
00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:37,200
Speaker 1: and they could have eaten anybody. This year, those teams

301
00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:40,080
Speaker 1: got in. The Colts, the Ravens, those teams the teams

302
00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:41,800
Speaker 1: that can knock anybody off. And let me say something

303
00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:44,200
Speaker 1: about the Ravens. We use the term table flipping all

304
00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:46,960
Speaker 1: the time, they're table breaking it. It's a Bills fans day.

305
00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:48,920
Speaker 1: And remember this, Lamar Jackson. I think it is going

306
00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:50,679
Speaker 1: to decide a lot of fates. Let's go back to

307
00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:52,240
Speaker 1: the draft. There was a very cool clip that was

308
00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:54,800
Speaker 1: floating around this week. He goes, last pick of the

309
00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:57,920
Speaker 1: first round, runs into Dion on stage. I want to

310
00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:00,199
Speaker 1: thank this team. This is what is Lamar jack have

311
00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:02,319
Speaker 1: to say the second he got drafted. Let's take a look.

312
00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:05,319
Speaker 1: Yesterday does not matter. You're looking forward to today. I'm

313
00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:07,360
Speaker 1: looking forward to being a rain What are they getting

314
00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:10,200
Speaker 1: everything out of me? They're gonna get a super Bowl

315
00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:14,280
Speaker 1: out of me? Leader, leader, believe that they're gonna get

316
00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:16,559
Speaker 1: a super Bowl out of mean. Oh, sir, Lamar, you're

317
00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:19,160
Speaker 1: behind Flacco. It's not gonna be you. Comes in, barely

318
00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:21,680
Speaker 1: loses any games. Now he's in the playoffs. Youngest starting

319
00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:25,800
Speaker 1: quarterback in the NFL playoffs every one years old, twenty

320
00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:27,600
Speaker 1: one year old ever to start a playoff. That's a

321
00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:30,360
Speaker 1: big part why the AFC is so wild for me.

322
00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:33,000
Speaker 1: I'm looking at the Colts, you know, with Andrew Luck.

323
00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:36,000
Speaker 1: He came in and he took this league by storm. Again.

324
00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:39,200
Speaker 1: Mom always said, you never know what you're missing till

325
00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:41,320
Speaker 1: you till it's gone. I remember Andrew Lucking. I'll bet

326
00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:42,560
Speaker 1: on the field. I'm like, you know what, he had

327
00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:44,880
Speaker 1: a good run, he's banged up. The guy's falling apart.

328
00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:46,840
Speaker 1: But then he comes back this year and I'm looking

329
00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:48,160
Speaker 1: at him play and then they get on that house

330
00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:50,720
Speaker 1: street and I'm thinking to myself, Man, I missed this

331
00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:52,840
Speaker 1: guy because he can do it all. He can do

332
00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:54,840
Speaker 1: it all, you know. We talked about the protection and

333
00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:56,880
Speaker 1: what they do they protect him this year seventeen sexes

334
00:14:57,000 --> 00:14:59,120
Speaker 1: as best in the league. We talked about the running game,

335
00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:01,760
Speaker 1: and then guys up like Marlon Mack the extension of

336
00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:04,280
Speaker 1: the ground game, and of course t Y Hilton in

337
00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:07,720
Speaker 1: the crew around him. This guy's may play after play

338
00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:09,640
Speaker 1: after play, and they can do it all. They can

339
00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:11,800
Speaker 1: do RPOs. He can sit back traditional in the pocket,

340
00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:14,000
Speaker 1: he can stand with his legs, he can take off

341
00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:15,960
Speaker 1: and run if he wants to. And this one makes

342
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:19,240
Speaker 1: him special. But then on the flip side, the other

343
00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:21,800
Speaker 1: side of the coin, that defense is playing at a

344
00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:24,600
Speaker 1: high level. Darius Slinner, he sent out a tweet that

345
00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:26,320
Speaker 1: I saw this morning on the way to work and

346
00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:30,080
Speaker 1: I love it because it simply says men lie, women lie,

347
00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:33,160
Speaker 1: but numbers don't. Chefs they never lie. Let's keep this

348
00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:35,800
Speaker 1: train rolling, man, We're not happy that we're in the playoffs.

349
00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:38,400
Speaker 1: We're trying to hold up that Lombard. Yeah. You know

350
00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:41,560
Speaker 1: what was attached to this a tweet that showed every

351
00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:44,640
Speaker 1: runner that they faced this year and none of them

352
00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:48,160
Speaker 1: got over one hundred yards zero zero. As much as

353
00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:50,520
Speaker 1: I love Daris understands one hundred and sixty three tackles,

354
00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:53,600
Speaker 1: the next guy is nineteen away from him. He's one

355
00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:55,440
Speaker 1: of the best linebackers in the business. I can go

356
00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:57,760
Speaker 1: on and on listens stats as tackles for laws, force

357
00:15:57,840 --> 00:16:00,840
Speaker 1: fumbles in whatever, the fact that they won't allow one

358
00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:03,200
Speaker 1: hundred yard wrestler and didn't. If they can do that

359
00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:05,400
Speaker 1: in the postseason alone with Andrew Luck taking care of

360
00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:08,000
Speaker 1: the ball, this is why this is so wild, because

361
00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:10,760
Speaker 1: they are balanced as they've ever been with Andrew Luck

362
00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:13,080
Speaker 1: and then that defense playing well strikes. That's great, and

363
00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:15,240
Speaker 1: I think Indianapolis has a really tough opponent in the

364
00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:17,520
Speaker 1: Houston Texans. And what's interesting to means I look at

365
00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:20,200
Speaker 1: the quarterbacks. Lamar Jackson's a twenty one year old, starting

366
00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:23,080
Speaker 1: his first playoff game, twenty one years old. Andrew Luck.

367
00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:24,920
Speaker 1: I've seen him make some runs in the playoffs, never

368
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:27,440
Speaker 1: gotten to that big dance. Philip Rivers has had some

369
00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:30,280
Speaker 1: really big playoff moments, some of them didn't go so great.

370
00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:32,720
Speaker 1: And then Patrick Mahomes. I have no idea not only

371
00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:35,560
Speaker 1: in the playoffs, but no idea in any big game.

372
00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:38,360
Speaker 1: Texas Tech never played in a big game under Patrick Mahomes.

373
00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:40,120
Speaker 1: They were never good enough to play in that big

374
00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:43,640
Speaker 1: national title type game. Tom Brady's the goat. And this

375
00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:46,000
Speaker 1: is other guy that we are not talking about, and

376
00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:49,720
Speaker 1: it's DeShawn Watson, who is now entering the second season

377
00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:52,920
Speaker 1: of the NFL campaign. And if you watch DeShawn Watson

378
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:57,240
Speaker 1: in college, he saved his best for the biggest moments.

379
00:16:57,640 --> 00:16:59,280
Speaker 1: I can't tell you Luck is going to play better

380
00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:00,680
Speaker 1: in the playoffs and he did in the regular season,

381
00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:02,280
Speaker 1: because there's a body of work that says that's just

382
00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:05,120
Speaker 1: not true. I can't say Mahomes is gonna throw fifty

383
00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:07,480
Speaker 1: touchdowns or five thousand yards in the playoffs because I've

384
00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:10,040
Speaker 1: never seen him play under the bright lights in January.

385
00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:14,119
Speaker 1: Philip Rivers has done things in the playoffs that have

386
00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:16,920
Speaker 1: made you wonder whether he's meant for the moment. DeShawn

387
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:21,080
Speaker 1: Watson up against Alabama two straight years, saved his very

388
00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:24,040
Speaker 1: best for last when an entire country was watching. I

389
00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:26,879
Speaker 1: know Tom Brady's showing up in January. The other four guys,

390
00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:30,840
Speaker 1: I don't know yet. That guy Shawn Watson. There is

391
00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:33,240
Speaker 1: no question Deshaulan Watson is going to bring it in

392
00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:35,080
Speaker 1: the playoffs because I've seen him do it against the

393
00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:37,639
Speaker 1: best college team in the country two years in a row,

394
00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:40,440
Speaker 1: and he never shied away from the bright lights. Got

395
00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:47,600
Speaker 1: me going going. I want the AfD to be wide open.

396
00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:49,920
Speaker 1: I said it yesterday and then we went through this

397
00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:52,200
Speaker 1: whole day of coaches getting fired and all of this,

398
00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:55,600
Speaker 1: and I'm like, the Patriots defense wasn't even didn't even

399
00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:57,960
Speaker 1: have a standout year, and they still want Flora's He's

400
00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:00,280
Speaker 1: still getting love to be a head coach. There's never

401
00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:02,560
Speaker 1: any tumult in the front office. The AFC East is

402
00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:05,760
Speaker 1: always all over the place, and those Patriots guys, I

403
00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:07,359
Speaker 1: don't know if it's as wide open as I'd like

404
00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:08,879
Speaker 1: it to be or as I thought it was. I'm

405
00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:11,440
Speaker 1: looking at they lose to the Steelers. I didn't feel

406
00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:14,560
Speaker 1: like the same team. They lose Josh Gordon, that goes on,

407
00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:17,000
Speaker 1: I don't feel like they're the same team on characteristic

408
00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:21,080
Speaker 1: mistakes from Brady, they Colin Coward had this awesome take

409
00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:24,520
Speaker 1: yesterday that they were one gronk bad tackle away from

410
00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:26,880
Speaker 1: being the one seed. They have the tiebreaker, they beat

411
00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:29,000
Speaker 1: the Chiefs if he tackles him, which he should have.

412
00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:31,040
Speaker 1: That was like a freak thing. They're the one seed.

413
00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:33,800
Speaker 1: Even so they need to win two games to get

414
00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:35,159
Speaker 1: back to the super Bowl. You think they can't win

415
00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:37,560
Speaker 1: two games? Come on, and if the chief slip up

416
00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:39,920
Speaker 1: Andrew Luck looking like he looks, if he advances and

417
00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:43,439
Speaker 1: goes to fuck, goes to Arrowhead and he beats them.

418
00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:46,440
Speaker 1: They have home field throughout. So that's two games that

419
00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:48,640
Speaker 1: they have to win at home or even on the road.

420
00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:51,479
Speaker 1: I just feel like we are You just called him

421
00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:54,040
Speaker 1: the goat, like he's the goat. We have the Goat

422
00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:57,200
Speaker 1: and the AFC. Are these other teams ready to play

423
00:18:57,240 --> 00:18:59,120
Speaker 1: at his level? Yeah? Look, I'm with you, wait till

424
00:18:59,119 --> 00:19:00,359
Speaker 1: we get to what we learned. So I don't want

425
00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:02,920
Speaker 1: to be on the pulpit. Yeah really, because my whole

426
00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:04,880
Speaker 1: thing this whole season was, well, listen, every time they've

427
00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:06,879
Speaker 1: gone to the Super Bowl and won the Super Bowl, shrikes,

428
00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:08,919
Speaker 1: they've had a top five or top ten defense. They

429
00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:11,160
Speaker 1: hear they're in the twenties. I saw MS lows twenty five,

430
00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:13,680
Speaker 1: twenty six. I looked yesterday, so I was like, I

431
00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:15,200
Speaker 1: wonder where they are the end of the season, because

432
00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:17,520
Speaker 1: they played the Bills and then they played the Jets seventh,

433
00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:22,000
Speaker 1: So they have a top ten defense somehow, miraculously darkness

434
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:24,400
Speaker 1: and under the number four offense in the league somehow,

435
00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:28,200
Speaker 1: and they couldn't stop Jalen Samuel's or or Kenyan Drake

436
00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:30,360
Speaker 1: or Frank or anybody. All of a sudden, they stop

437
00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:33,399
Speaker 1: Josh Allen, who nobody can stop. They've put the brakes

438
00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:35,880
Speaker 1: on their run game. Another defense is coming into shape,

439
00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:39,040
Speaker 1: and I'm like, guys, go away. Well, really, that Indianapolis

440
00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:41,679
Speaker 1: Texans game is so huge because, like I said, if

441
00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:44,080
Speaker 1: the Colts meet the Texans, the Patriots are one seed.

442
00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:47,440
Speaker 1: The Patriots then suddenly have this homefield advantage thing. If

443
00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:49,359
Speaker 1: the Chiefs lose to the cold, you know, it's like

444
00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:52,159
Speaker 1: it's crazy process. The Chiefs slip up and they have

445
00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:54,479
Speaker 1: in the playoffs. The paths run the show. How can

446
00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:56,240
Speaker 1: you not see them in the super Bowl? And here's

447
00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:59,480
Speaker 1: the thing about the Patriots, this is familiar territory. It's

448
00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:02,359
Speaker 1: a StrEG point. There's a ton of coaches, ton of teams,

449
00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:04,760
Speaker 1: quarterbacks that are going into the playoffs, that have to

450
00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:07,080
Speaker 1: GPS their way to Atlanta. And they got to look

451
00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:09,080
Speaker 1: at that GPS, Look at the road, look at the GPS.

452
00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:10,800
Speaker 1: They're nervous. They don't know who, where to stop, who

453
00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:13,479
Speaker 1: to stop, who to pick up. Patriots, they can make

454
00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:15,960
Speaker 1: their way to Atlanta without typing n what's better for

455
00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:19,080
Speaker 1: the NFL landscape as a whole, Patriots in it again

456
00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:21,960
Speaker 1: or a new team from the AFC. I feel like

457
00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:24,280
Speaker 1: the Broncos made that run two years ago. They beat

458
00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:26,840
Speaker 1: up Brady and then they've been irrelevant ever since. Is

459
00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:29,840
Speaker 1: it better for football? Is it better for our twenty twenty,

460
00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:32,679
Speaker 1: the new year and beyond to have a new king

461
00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:34,600
Speaker 1: of the AFC? Or is it better to have the

462
00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:37,080
Speaker 1: old guard. It's a great question. I love new places,

463
00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:40,359
Speaker 1: but I'm partial to a dynasty, and I want twenty

464
00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:41,800
Speaker 1: years from now to be able to look back and

465
00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:44,840
Speaker 1: say I witnessed greatness and I witnessed the dynasty and

466
00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:46,280
Speaker 1: they had a hell of a run. So I would

467
00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:47,760
Speaker 1: love to see the Patriots back. You could have both

468
00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:50,680
Speaker 1: in the AFC Championship game between Mahomes and Brady, that

469
00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:53,240
Speaker 1: could clearly come down to that in Arrowhead, where, by

470
00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:55,000
Speaker 1: the way, the Patriots have struggled three and five on

471
00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:58,960
Speaker 1: the road, road eight and oh undefeated in Foxytown. There's

472
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:01,840
Speaker 1: people who get so hiring of Patriots fatigue. For me,

473
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:04,000
Speaker 1: the Patriots super Bowl are the ones that matter. Like

474
00:21:04,119 --> 00:21:06,960
Speaker 1: I look at the two NBA finals that the Houston

475
00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:09,879
Speaker 1: Rockets were in against the Knicks, and the most memorable

476
00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:12,560
Speaker 1: things about those finals it was a bull hitting two

477
00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:14,080
Speaker 1: h five and a Bill hitting the four or five,

478
00:21:14,119 --> 00:21:15,760
Speaker 1: and that's all we remember about those You know what

479
00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:18,080
Speaker 1: I'm saying. I like the Patriots. Those are American histories,

480
00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:20,600
Speaker 1: are ones that matter. However, in the FSA PLAYFFS, there's

481
00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:23,160
Speaker 1: a lot of firepower. The Chargers have a lot of firepower.

482
00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:25,800
Speaker 1: The Ravens have a whole different breed of firepower. There's

483
00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:28,560
Speaker 1: no cakewalk. I like New England tubes. There's there's guys

484
00:21:28,560 --> 00:21:30,280
Speaker 1: who can throw punch. I got put some working. It's

485
00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:33,480
Speaker 1: just crazy that they're quietly, they're just there. They're there again,

486
00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:36,000
Speaker 1: and they're so close to being there the whole time.

487
00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:39,840
Speaker 1: We're always here to learn new things. Each week in

488
00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:43,680
Speaker 1: Week seventeen was no different. Here's what the Breakfast Table

489
00:21:43,800 --> 00:21:46,760
Speaker 1: learned from the action in Week seventeen. I was just

490
00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:48,760
Speaker 1: catching up on some reading. I've been back behind. I

491
00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:50,480
Speaker 1: was catching up in some reading about the Patriots in

492
00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:52,560
Speaker 1: the past few weeks. I need a binge read. There's

493
00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:54,240
Speaker 1: a couple of headlines just from a few weeks ago

494
00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:57,720
Speaker 1: the New England Daily News. So this is how every

495
00:21:57,800 --> 00:22:01,240
Speaker 1: city feels just before Christmas. Will our team make the tournament?

496
00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:04,560
Speaker 1: Will they host a wild card? It's interesting CBS Boston.

497
00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:07,240
Speaker 1: The Patriots are playing like a JV high school team.

498
00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:10,280
Speaker 1: All that adds up to plan on wild card weekend,

499
00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:14,080
Speaker 1: Peter Steger, Good Morning Football, chalks up, puts the weightlifting

500
00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:16,720
Speaker 1: belt on, does the heavy lifting. This year is different,

501
00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:19,520
Speaker 1: This year is different, is different, This year is different.

502
00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:23,920
Speaker 1: This year ain't different. Fam ain't different at all. You

503
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:26,040
Speaker 1: know what we do, what we learn, It's what all

504
00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:30,359
Speaker 1: the other dummies didn't learn and learn squats. Nothing is different, guys,

505
00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:33,639
Speaker 1: because you know there's there's things that people root for

506
00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:36,560
Speaker 1: to happen so badly, like they already have the columns written,

507
00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:38,480
Speaker 1: they already have their take. They just want it. I

508
00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:40,880
Speaker 1: think the Patriots empire collapsing is one of them. It's

509
00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:44,680
Speaker 1: like everyone wants Miami Hurricane football to be back so badly.

510
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:48,439
Speaker 1: They want hover boards, they want Kanye, they want all

511
00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:50,600
Speaker 1: those things. You know. They want just to stop running

512
00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:53,440
Speaker 1: that radio to commercial it's never happening. It reduced his

513
00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:56,200
Speaker 1: urge to smoke. It's not gonna happen. And the whole

514
00:22:56,240 --> 00:22:57,920
Speaker 1: Patriots thing, I know, you want it so bad that

515
00:22:58,119 --> 00:23:01,080
Speaker 1: it's great copying. It sells newspapers, guys, that ain't happening.

516
00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:04,879
Speaker 1: Because it's funny. People started doing backflips about you know,

517
00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:07,680
Speaker 1: oh they lost that Miami so what they do every

518
00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:10,400
Speaker 1: single year. Brady was incredible in that game. They lost

519
00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:12,800
Speaker 1: that Pittsburgh. We all know the Steelers sold their sould

520
00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:14,080
Speaker 1: at the devil to win that game, right, we can

521
00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:17,320
Speaker 1: all agree on that. They had no other recourse, said Satan,

522
00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:19,760
Speaker 1: get up here and help us, and it worked. And

523
00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:21,919
Speaker 1: it's funny because I don't know if people have ever

524
00:23:22,040 --> 00:23:25,080
Speaker 1: watched a single Patriots game, like Josh Gordon goes out like, well,

525
00:23:25,119 --> 00:23:27,639
Speaker 1: that's it. Josh scorn is a passenger this year. He

526
00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:29,760
Speaker 1: was a shell of himself. He did some good football.

527
00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:32,120
Speaker 1: He was not Cleveland Brown chef Scorning. And they're like, well,

528
00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:35,120
Speaker 1: who does that leave Tom Brady with Chris Hogan? Who

529
00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:37,399
Speaker 1: Chris Hogan at one hundred and eighty yards and an

530
00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:40,080
Speaker 1: AFC title game? Chris Hogan exploded in the Super Bowl.

531
00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:43,960
Speaker 1: Julian Allen, Have you ever watched the Patriots? Says? Anyone

532
00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:46,680
Speaker 1: ever answered the bell more than Julian Edelman at every

533
00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:50,119
Speaker 1: big moment? Everybody, Well, no, the Gronkowski is now right.

534
00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:51,920
Speaker 1: Let me tell you what Gronkowski's doing right now. He's

535
00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:55,520
Speaker 1: got a week off. He's sitting back in his underwear, elevating,

536
00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:58,560
Speaker 1: scratching himself and watching a Larry the Cable guy moving,

537
00:23:58,640 --> 00:24:02,440
Speaker 1: laughing his ass off list protection, probably Delta Farce, and

538
00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:04,480
Speaker 1: he's just getting right. And you know what's so like,

539
00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:06,880
Speaker 1: who's gonna come into Foxburun the next round? Let's see

540
00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:11,120
Speaker 1: who's gonna be the guests of the Craft family in Foxboro, Houston.

541
00:24:11,359 --> 00:24:14,879
Speaker 1: The Patriots beating them eight straight times, Indie, the Patriots

542
00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:17,639
Speaker 1: beating them eight straight times. The Charges. You know the

543
00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:19,840
Speaker 1: last time Tom Brady lost the Chargers, he lost the

544
00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:22,639
Speaker 1: bleeping Drew Breese. It was in two thousand and five.

545
00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:26,560
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson, Lamar Jackson's great. I love that defense. Here's

546
00:24:26,600 --> 00:24:28,680
Speaker 1: the list right here of the rookie quarterbacks that Bill

547
00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:31,160
Speaker 1: Belichick is lost to just playing. There's no list. It's

548
00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:34,200
Speaker 1: never ever happened, guys. It'll happen at some point that

549
00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:37,200
Speaker 1: Empires are crumbling down and Brady walking off and hugging

550
00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:39,280
Speaker 1: Giselle and crying a boat. Blah blah blah. It ain't

551
00:24:39,359 --> 00:24:42,840
Speaker 1: this year. The title games in Foxboro. Go watch Delta

552
00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:44,760
Speaker 1: Farst and have a laugh, because that's the real farcet.

553
00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:47,840
Speaker 1: The Patriots are still alive. Sorry, you learn nothing, dummies,

554
00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:51,879
Speaker 1: all out, all out nothing. I was like an ad.

555
00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:55,520
Speaker 1: That's exactly what Ron's doing right now. We know it.

556
00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:58,440
Speaker 1: We think they get home. Feel throughout. If the Chiefs

557
00:24:58,480 --> 00:25:00,560
Speaker 1: get knocked off, which is not something far fetched the

558
00:25:00,640 --> 00:25:03,000
Speaker 1: fairy tale. I don't know if they're gonna and maybe

559
00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:05,240
Speaker 1: they have to go to Kansas City. They already beat

560
00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:07,359
Speaker 1: the Chiefs Swans. There's a long time ago, a different place.

561
00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:09,600
Speaker 1: I know they're going to the title game. Whether it's

562
00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:11,960
Speaker 1: in Foxboro way, I know they're happened. I know it's happening.

563
00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:15,480
Speaker 1: So headed towards the playoffs, and what I learned, guys,

564
00:25:16,040 --> 00:25:18,560
Speaker 1: is that the future of the AFC North belongs in

565
00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:21,840
Speaker 1: the palms of two rookie quarterbacks, the two best rookie

566
00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:25,119
Speaker 1: quarterbacks in the league. Lamar Jackson up against Baker Mayfield.

567
00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:26,840
Speaker 1: This was the game of the week in my opinion.

568
00:25:27,080 --> 00:25:30,240
Speaker 1: It's a new rivalry for the Ages. Batman Joker whatever,

569
00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:34,520
Speaker 1: Spider Man King Fin move over, Danny o'sheay Kevin O'sheay

570
00:25:34,960 --> 00:25:38,000
Speaker 1: go annex something else. After a down to the wire

571
00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:41,240
Speaker 1: Week seventeen shootout where the pair combined for six hundred

572
00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:43,639
Speaker 1: forty five total yards, I'm pretty positive the future of

573
00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:46,639
Speaker 1: this division and maybe the conference, lies in the hands

574
00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:50,359
Speaker 1: of these two exciting rookies. So going back to may

575
00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:53,000
Speaker 1: Baker Lamar book ending the first round of the twenty

576
00:25:53,040 --> 00:25:55,080
Speaker 1: eighteen draft. There are a lot of question marks though

577
00:25:55,160 --> 00:25:57,800
Speaker 1: regarding both. Can Baker Mayfield the deaf? Can they handle

578
00:25:57,920 --> 00:26:02,040
Speaker 1: his personalities? Lamar Jackson a true dual threat quarterback. Can

579
00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:04,600
Speaker 1: he throw all of this stuff? Will either of them

580
00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:06,639
Speaker 1: be able to lead their teams to success. Should they

581
00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:10,200
Speaker 1: even start their rookie seasons. Well, here we go, twenty

582
00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:13,159
Speaker 1: eighteen regular season officially behind us, and the answer to

583
00:26:13,280 --> 00:26:16,520
Speaker 1: all of those questions is shut up everybody, because it's like,

584
00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:21,040
Speaker 1: we finally have what we've wanted. We wanted to Marcus Mariota,

585
00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:23,240
Speaker 1: Jameis Winston, we wanted that, right Why it didn't happen?

586
00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:25,760
Speaker 1: And here it is the Week sevent team matchup. It

587
00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:27,760
Speaker 1: had it all game of the week. I'm serious. It

588
00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:29,720
Speaker 1: was back and forth the whole time. There were moments

589
00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:33,240
Speaker 1: from both quarterbacks that were truly impressive, whether it was

590
00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:36,479
Speaker 1: Lamar on the run or Baker staying calm under pressure

591
00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:40,000
Speaker 1: in the pocket. These two showed everybody in Week seventeen

592
00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:41,879
Speaker 1: that they can put on a real show. Not to

593
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:45,080
Speaker 1: mention the scene following the game, right, we haven't even

594
00:26:45,119 --> 00:26:47,359
Speaker 1: really dug into this, Kyle, what did you make of

595
00:26:48,359 --> 00:26:50,959
Speaker 1: you know, Baker's game ceiling interception, of course, and then

596
00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:53,159
Speaker 1: what do you think of that was that controversial? Was

597
00:26:53,200 --> 00:26:55,840
Speaker 1: that enough? I thought there was others, But now I

598
00:26:55,880 --> 00:26:57,840
Speaker 1: don't know if there's another moment. If that was it,

599
00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:00,480
Speaker 1: that's not enough. I feel like you can feel the

600
00:27:00,560 --> 00:27:03,440
Speaker 1: respectful disrespect in that moment, and I love it and

601
00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:05,639
Speaker 1: I cannot wait to see it twice a year. And

602
00:27:05,680 --> 00:27:07,600
Speaker 1: it wasn't really just this past week. Baker and Lamar

603
00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:09,960
Speaker 1: basically number one and number two in every stack category

604
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:13,800
Speaker 1: for workie quarterbacks this year, win loss record, complete, sup percentage,

605
00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:16,280
Speaker 1: faster rating, you name it. Baker and Lamar are likely

606
00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:18,080
Speaker 1: to be in the top two spots. And I didn't

607
00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:19,800
Speaker 1: even mention. The best part is that we do get

608
00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:23,400
Speaker 1: to see them play one another twice a year. After

609
00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:25,600
Speaker 1: the game, Baker sent to the media, I think it's

610
00:27:25,600 --> 00:27:27,600
Speaker 1: going to be me versus him for a while in

611
00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:30,320
Speaker 1: this division, and I'm looking forward to it. So with

612
00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:33,040
Speaker 1: Big Ben at the back half of his career the Bengals,

613
00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:35,000
Speaker 1: I don't know what's going on in a new post

614
00:27:35,119 --> 00:27:37,560
Speaker 1: Marvin Lewis era. We shall love it. Ready for a

615
00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:40,280
Speaker 1: whole lot of Baker versus Lamar, and thank you, gentlemen,

616
00:27:40,280 --> 00:27:41,760
Speaker 1: because it's going to be a lot of fun. I

617
00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:43,720
Speaker 1: love it. Carry here. I'll tell you what that the

618
00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:45,880
Speaker 1: factor in the same division means they're gonna play two

619
00:27:45,960 --> 00:27:48,240
Speaker 1: times every year. I'm trying to rack my brain. I

620
00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:51,480
Speaker 1: honestly go back to the eighty three draft Marino and Kelly,

621
00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:54,239
Speaker 1: Bills and Dolphins twice a year. I don't know if

622
00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:56,200
Speaker 1: there's a rivalry of inter division quite from the same

623
00:27:56,280 --> 00:27:58,359
Speaker 1: draft class that played each other all that many time.

624
00:27:58,440 --> 00:28:00,200
Speaker 1: kN that is going to be awesome for a Okay,

625
00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:02,159
Speaker 1: I cannot wait for the AFC North games. Usually it

626
00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:04,679
Speaker 1: was always big Ben versus Flacco. Give me this instead.

627
00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:08,840
Speaker 1: This is better. If you look at Rivers, Brady, Roths, Rodgers,

628
00:28:08,880 --> 00:28:10,800
Speaker 1: they're all over the country. They don't get it like

629
00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:12,560
Speaker 1: we should. That game I did not want to end.

630
00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:14,359
Speaker 1: It makes me oppress. There's not that much football out me.

631
00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:16,240
Speaker 1: What do you got? All right, let's start this thing off.

632
00:28:16,280 --> 00:28:17,760
Speaker 1: So what I learned this week there are plenty of

633
00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:21,160
Speaker 1: guys who won't be playing January football who had impressive

634
00:28:21,200 --> 00:28:24,239
Speaker 1: two thousand and eighteen campaigns. Now the regular season is over,

635
00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:25,800
Speaker 1: so that's in the rearview. What do I want to

636
00:28:25,800 --> 00:28:28,639
Speaker 1: do is show some love to some guys who are eliminated.

637
00:28:28,680 --> 00:28:31,600
Speaker 1: But these are eliminated superstars of two eighteen. First step,

638
00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:35,320
Speaker 1: we got mister George Kittle aka stonecok. We had an

639
00:28:35,359 --> 00:28:38,959
Speaker 1: amazing breakout here in San Francisco. He finished with one thousand,

640
00:28:39,320 --> 00:28:42,000
Speaker 1: three hundred and seventy seven receiving yards. Checked this out.

641
00:28:42,040 --> 00:28:44,959
Speaker 1: That's a single season record for a tight end. Now,

642
00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:47,920
Speaker 1: imagine what he's gonna do when the starting quarterback, mister

643
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:51,440
Speaker 1: Jimmy Garoppolo comes back nice and healthy. All right. Next,

644
00:28:51,880 --> 00:28:56,160
Speaker 1: there was that rookie sensation, mister Qua, give it to me,

645
00:28:56,200 --> 00:28:58,920
Speaker 1: give me the battle Giants rookie runner as he finished

646
00:28:58,920 --> 00:29:02,080
Speaker 1: two thousand and eighteen with two twenty eight total scrimmage yards,

647
00:29:02,160 --> 00:29:05,560
Speaker 1: joining who else, Eric Dickerson and Edge and James absolute

648
00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:08,800
Speaker 1: legends as the only rookies and NFL history to rack

649
00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:13,760
Speaker 1: up over two thousand plus yards. Also, Reggie Bush's record

650
00:29:13,880 --> 00:29:16,480
Speaker 1: for most receptions by a rookie running back. Not bad

651
00:29:16,520 --> 00:29:19,040
Speaker 1: for the number two Saguan might be joining us in

652
00:29:19,120 --> 00:29:22,800
Speaker 1: the angry run segment. Oh all right, how about this though,

653
00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:26,600
Speaker 1: Joe Mixon with the Bengals, despite playing fourteen games, did

654
00:29:26,640 --> 00:29:29,520
Speaker 1: you guys know this finished fourth in the NFL? I

655
00:29:29,640 --> 00:29:32,800
Speaker 1: did not, behind Zeke Gurley and Say Cross did not

656
00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:36,280
Speaker 1: know that? Absolutely awesome. What about Christian McCaffrey, remember that dude,

657
00:29:36,320 --> 00:29:39,080
Speaker 1: This dude one one hundred and seven receptions. This here,

658
00:29:39,280 --> 00:29:42,240
Speaker 1: that's the NFL single season record for receptions. By a

659
00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:45,719
Speaker 1: running back. How about the quarterback Josh Shalon, Right, these

660
00:29:45,760 --> 00:29:48,560
Speaker 1: are guys we forget about. Salon was great the second

661
00:29:48,680 --> 00:29:50,959
Speaker 1: rookie quarterback thanks to Cam Newton to rush for eight

662
00:29:51,040 --> 00:29:54,160
Speaker 1: touchsdowns this season. I expect plenty more from these guys

663
00:29:54,320 --> 00:29:56,440
Speaker 1: in two thousand nineteen. What I'm trying to say is, look,

664
00:29:56,480 --> 00:29:58,280
Speaker 1: even though these guys were going to be sitting at

665
00:29:58,360 --> 00:30:00,880
Speaker 1: home watching the playoffs from the couches, it's like we will,

666
00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:03,640
Speaker 1: we should respect the work that they put in. So

667
00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:07,040
Speaker 1: it's all you guys out there, who's vacation started yesterday? Jess, No,

668
00:30:07,120 --> 00:30:08,840
Speaker 1: we don't forget about to play this year and we

669
00:30:08,960 --> 00:30:12,080
Speaker 1: can't wait to see what to do next. Man, great

670
00:30:12,440 --> 00:30:14,520
Speaker 1: great players in the Unit tournament, Right, they don't always

671
00:30:14,520 --> 00:30:16,840
Speaker 1: have the big dance great players. I'm so mad about

672
00:30:16,840 --> 00:30:19,240
Speaker 1: this Christian McCaffrey taking him off the field. He could

673
00:30:19,240 --> 00:30:21,479
Speaker 1: have gone two thousand scrimmin yards and he took him out.

674
00:30:21,480 --> 00:30:24,880
Speaker 1: He's like sitting there like nineteen thirty five or sixty five.

675
00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:27,880
Speaker 1: Come on, leave him in there. Let him get that letter.

676
00:30:27,920 --> 00:30:30,720
Speaker 1: What you got. Last summer, after the Ravens traded back

677
00:30:30,800 --> 00:30:33,320
Speaker 1: into the first round and drafted Lamar Jackson with the

678
00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:37,400
Speaker 1: thirty second overall pick. John Harbaugh invited Joe Flacco out

679
00:30:37,440 --> 00:30:39,880
Speaker 1: for a round of golf. They played eighteen holes. It

680
00:30:39,960 --> 00:30:41,760
Speaker 1: was civil, it was fun. These two men have been

681
00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:44,360
Speaker 1: through so much together. They didn't really talk about much

682
00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:48,160
Speaker 1: during the round of golf, but then afterwards they sat

683
00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:50,280
Speaker 1: down and they had a cup of iced tea. This

684
00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:53,320
Speaker 1: is true. I spoke to Harball about this. What they

685
00:30:53,360 --> 00:30:56,680
Speaker 1: did was they discussed Joe Flacco's future here with the

686
00:30:56,840 --> 00:30:59,400
Speaker 1: Ravens Okay man in quarterback. These guys been through so

687
00:30:59,520 --> 00:31:01,600
Speaker 1: much together. They addressed the elephant in the room. And

688
00:31:01,680 --> 00:31:04,400
Speaker 1: when I asked John Harball, what did you guys talk about?

689
00:31:04,480 --> 00:31:07,640
Speaker 1: He said, Here's how the talk went. Conversation was right

690
00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:11,120
Speaker 1: after Lamar was drafted, and basically Joe Flacco stopped him

691
00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:13,520
Speaker 1: before anyone could lay out any reasons to get into

692
00:31:13,560 --> 00:31:18,800
Speaker 1: the decision. Joe Flacco said, Coach, it's okay, I get it. Wow.

693
00:31:19,280 --> 00:31:21,400
Speaker 1: Harbaugh started back up, trying to explain the love for

694
00:31:21,480 --> 00:31:23,400
Speaker 1: Joe Flacco, both within the organization in that city and

695
00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:25,800
Speaker 1: Flacco to a man. Looked at John Harbaugh, the only

696
00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:28,160
Speaker 1: head coach he's ever known in the NFL, and said coach,

697
00:31:28,720 --> 00:31:30,480
Speaker 1: you guys gotta do what you have to do, and

698
00:31:30,600 --> 00:31:34,240
Speaker 1: know this, I will never ever do anything to get

699
00:31:34,280 --> 00:31:37,080
Speaker 1: in the way of this team. Wow. And that was that.

700
00:31:37,600 --> 00:31:39,880
Speaker 1: The dark balloon that could have hung over this entire

701
00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:43,400
Speaker 1: twenty eighteen raven season was immediately punctured, and the fear

702
00:31:43,480 --> 00:31:46,920
Speaker 1: of stepping on toes, insulting a legacy, and worst of all,

703
00:31:47,200 --> 00:31:49,760
Speaker 1: ruining a relationship that has led to so much between

704
00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:52,920
Speaker 1: the two was completely averted. Flacco's getting a lot of

705
00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:56,120
Speaker 1: comparisons right now to Alex Smith this month, because back

706
00:31:56,160 --> 00:31:58,480
Speaker 1: in twenty twelve, the forty nine Ers were placed a

707
00:31:58,600 --> 00:32:02,760
Speaker 1: well liked, proven starter Alex Smith for Colin Kaepernick. The

708
00:32:02,920 --> 00:32:05,880
Speaker 1: only difference is that for as good a player and

709
00:32:05,960 --> 00:32:08,280
Speaker 1: as solid as a dude that Alex Smith was and is,

710
00:32:08,600 --> 00:32:11,440
Speaker 1: he never won a Super Bowl, MVP Award or hoisted

711
00:32:11,480 --> 00:32:14,000
Speaker 1: a Lombardi for that city. He never threw a team

712
00:32:14,040 --> 00:32:15,800
Speaker 1: on his back, and with a nation of critics doubting

713
00:32:15,880 --> 00:32:18,400
Speaker 1: his every move and matchup, went on the road and

714
00:32:18,520 --> 00:32:22,400
Speaker 1: beat Peyton Manning in Denver, Tom Brady in New England,

715
00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:24,880
Speaker 1: and then the forty nine Ers in the Super Bowl.

716
00:32:24,920 --> 00:32:28,280
Speaker 1: I think this Ravens run has been awesome. But before

717
00:32:28,440 --> 00:32:31,200
Speaker 1: we turn the page to Lamar Jackson and the future

718
00:32:31,280 --> 00:32:34,040
Speaker 1: of what this franchise will be, I wanted to give

719
00:32:34,320 --> 00:32:38,120
Speaker 1: Joe Flacco his due. This transition could have been handled

720
00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:41,440
Speaker 1: a myriad of ways, and many quarterbacks in his shoes

721
00:32:41,800 --> 00:32:46,120
Speaker 1: would have and have gone about it very differently. Flacco,

722
00:32:46,160 --> 00:32:49,120
Speaker 1: who will no doubt be a starter somewhere else next season,

723
00:32:49,440 --> 00:32:53,040
Speaker 1: he put that organization that drafted him and he said, listen,

724
00:32:53,640 --> 00:32:56,480
Speaker 1: you guys are before me. He put everything else that

725
00:32:56,640 --> 00:32:58,800
Speaker 1: was in that quarterbacks room and said, I will be

726
00:32:58,960 --> 00:33:01,520
Speaker 1: there for whoever it is Lamar Jackson or Robert Griffin,

727
00:33:01,760 --> 00:33:05,040
Speaker 1: and I will be the perfect perfect mentor and citizen

728
00:33:05,120 --> 00:33:07,800
Speaker 1: in this room. Lamar Jackson is no doubt the future

729
00:33:07,880 --> 00:33:10,160
Speaker 1: for the Baltimore Ravens, but I have learned this week

730
00:33:10,240 --> 00:33:13,080
Speaker 1: that Joe Flacco is just as much a part of

731
00:33:13,120 --> 00:33:16,200
Speaker 1: this awesome Ravens ride as anyone. And without him riding

732
00:33:16,280 --> 00:33:21,719
Speaker 1: shotgun happily selflessly, this season could have gone so much differently.

733
00:33:21,800 --> 00:33:24,040
Speaker 1: It could have been so much more difficult for Lamar Jackson,

734
00:33:24,240 --> 00:33:26,360
Speaker 1: and it could have been a mess for John Harbaugh.

735
00:33:26,600 --> 00:33:30,000
Speaker 1: Hats off to Joe Flacco, a Super Bowl MVP and

736
00:33:30,160 --> 00:33:33,560
Speaker 1: now an amazing teammate who might get a second Super

737
00:33:33,600 --> 00:33:39,160
Speaker 1: Bowl ring. Respect Joe out to Joelas said, I get it.

738
00:33:39,280 --> 00:33:40,760
Speaker 1: I understand you guys have to do what you do.

739
00:33:40,800 --> 00:33:43,120
Speaker 1: I will never get in the way of what you're

740
00:33:43,160 --> 00:33:45,720
Speaker 1: doing and what I love about Flacco Nationally, there's kind

741
00:33:45,720 --> 00:33:48,480
Speaker 1: of like a punchline with them all Joe Flaccos locally

742
00:33:48,600 --> 00:33:51,400
Speaker 1: and regionally. Those Ravens fans love Joe Flacco because he

743
00:33:51,480 --> 00:33:53,080
Speaker 1: got them that Super Bowl ring when a lot of

744
00:33:53,160 --> 00:33:55,600
Speaker 1: quarterbacks in this league have not done that for their sison.

745
00:33:55,760 --> 00:33:58,360
Speaker 1: Players respect Joe Flacco for many different reasons. One, he

746
00:33:58,480 --> 00:34:00,640
Speaker 1: had free agency at the perfect time and broke the bank.

747
00:34:00,800 --> 00:34:03,520
Speaker 1: As players, we love guys and making money. Super Bowl

748
00:34:04,040 --> 00:34:07,200
Speaker 1: champion first and foremost. And he's a great teammates. Like

749
00:34:07,240 --> 00:34:10,279
Speaker 1: you said, Hey, he's healthy, fully healthy, and he's ready

750
00:34:10,320 --> 00:34:11,680
Speaker 1: to go if they need them. So you're saying that

751
00:34:11,719 --> 00:34:14,440
Speaker 1: he will be a starting quarterback somewhere else, Yeah, anybody

752
00:34:14,520 --> 00:34:18,120
Speaker 1: cared to like wear it. Like potential hypothetical landing spots

753
00:34:18,200 --> 00:34:20,760
Speaker 1: for him, there's lots of them. Could the Washington Redskins,

754
00:34:20,800 --> 00:34:22,480
Speaker 1: he's a quarterback of Alex Smith is in back. Could

755
00:34:22,480 --> 00:34:25,560
Speaker 1: the Miami dolphin, the jackson the Jacksonville Jaguars, could the

756
00:34:25,600 --> 00:34:29,600
Speaker 1: New York Giants. He's a little rival there. In today's age,

757
00:34:29,840 --> 00:34:31,440
Speaker 1: it could be hard to find the time to sit

758
00:34:31,520 --> 00:34:34,280
Speaker 1: down and learn more, especially with the likes of social

759
00:34:34,400 --> 00:34:37,719
Speaker 1: media can be so addictive and time consuming, so you

760
00:34:37,840 --> 00:34:39,959
Speaker 1: may think you don't have time to read a book

761
00:34:40,040 --> 00:34:43,320
Speaker 1: or to develop yourself. Well, think again. Blinks is the

778
00:35:37,360 --> 00:35:40,320
Speaker 1: other guys to break out this January. Let's see the

779
00:35:40,400 --> 00:35:44,000
Speaker 1: breakfast table. Thanks, we'll breakthrough in the playoffs. Which player

780
00:35:44,080 --> 00:35:47,320
Speaker 1: do you think we'll have a breakthrough performance in twenty

781
00:35:47,480 --> 00:35:51,640
Speaker 1: eighteen postseason? You know, I'm so excited for Sunday afternoon

782
00:35:52,080 --> 00:35:55,080
Speaker 1: Soldier Field. There's something so cool about a late game

783
00:35:55,160 --> 00:35:57,400
Speaker 1: in Soldier Field when the sun is just setting and

784
00:35:57,480 --> 00:35:59,439
Speaker 1: everyone's watching in America when you talk about the wild

785
00:35:59,480 --> 00:36:02,279
Speaker 1: card round, Literally thirty one or thirty other teams around

786
00:36:02,280 --> 00:36:04,160
Speaker 1: the league are sitting on their couches watching this game

787
00:36:04,200 --> 00:36:06,439
Speaker 1: as the final game of the weekend. And I feel

788
00:36:06,440 --> 00:36:08,120
Speaker 1: like Tarik Cohen is about to put on a show.

789
00:36:08,120 --> 00:36:10,520
Speaker 1: If you hadn't watched Tarik Cohen, this guy might be

790
00:36:10,560 --> 00:36:12,759
Speaker 1: the most dynamic player in the NFL this season not

791
00:36:12,920 --> 00:36:16,160
Speaker 1: named Tyreek Hill. Watch this play from weeks look where

792
00:36:16,200 --> 00:36:19,160
Speaker 1: he takes off. This is a five foot eight running

793
00:36:19,200 --> 00:36:21,680
Speaker 1: back who that might be generous on it and he

794
00:36:21,800 --> 00:36:23,440
Speaker 1: just is able to do everything he wants out of

795
00:36:23,480 --> 00:36:25,920
Speaker 1: the back field. But they also use him on trick plays.

796
00:36:25,920 --> 00:36:28,239
Speaker 1: And if you know Matt Naggie. He loves the trickeration.

797
00:36:28,600 --> 00:36:31,120
Speaker 1: Check out this play with the game on the line

798
00:36:31,280 --> 00:36:33,360
Speaker 1: against the Giants at the end of regulation. Then he

799
00:36:33,440 --> 00:36:34,840
Speaker 1: put the hands and the ball in the hands of

800
00:36:34,880 --> 00:36:36,960
Speaker 1: Trabisky and they put it in Tarik Cohen. They run

801
00:36:37,040 --> 00:36:39,040
Speaker 1: the play, it's called upa loompa. They get the ball

802
00:36:39,080 --> 00:36:43,000
Speaker 1: to another rookie, Anthony Miller. Look at us, double reverse

803
00:36:43,280 --> 00:36:47,080
Speaker 1: flip pass. Guys, it's not the first time. Last year

804
00:36:47,200 --> 00:36:50,839
Speaker 1: as a rookie. If you recall, Tarik Cohen also throw

805
00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:54,040
Speaker 1: a touchdown pass. This one was when he spoke the

806
00:36:54,160 --> 00:36:57,080
Speaker 1: record for being the shortest player in NFL history since

807
00:36:57,200 --> 00:36:59,759
Speaker 1: nineteen forty to throw a touchdown pass. He did it

808
00:37:00,360 --> 00:37:02,759
Speaker 1: hit Zach Miller. Remember who we beat we Willie Smith?

809
00:37:03,000 --> 00:37:07,120
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah yeah. This guy has such an arrangement

810
00:37:07,200 --> 00:37:09,399
Speaker 1: of skills and can do so much and is such

811
00:37:09,520 --> 00:37:13,120
Speaker 1: a diverse and difficult matchup for everyone else. Sunday Night,

812
00:37:13,280 --> 00:37:15,040
Speaker 1: Bucking Akman on the call. I feel like the lights

813
00:37:15,080 --> 00:37:18,080
Speaker 1: are gonna be on. Everyone's watching Tariko and the little

814
00:37:18,120 --> 00:37:20,800
Speaker 1: guy from North Carolina, A and T. That's my breakthrough

815
00:37:20,840 --> 00:37:23,160
Speaker 1: player for the way, so fun. Mine is number seven overall.

816
00:37:23,239 --> 00:37:25,839
Speaker 1: Pick Mike Williams, who did break out already. When Keen

817
00:37:25,960 --> 00:37:28,440
Speaker 1: Allen sat out against the Chiefs, he had three touchdowns

818
00:37:28,480 --> 00:37:31,279
Speaker 1: a million yards. He looked awesome. Why then against the

819
00:37:31,320 --> 00:37:33,759
Speaker 1: first matchup with the Ravens did he have one catch

820
00:37:33,840 --> 00:37:36,319
Speaker 1: and only three targets. Give this guy the ball more.

821
00:37:36,400 --> 00:37:38,600
Speaker 1: Baltimore's defense is tough, but you know what, he's six

822
00:37:38,719 --> 00:37:41,319
Speaker 1: four and two twenty. It doesn't matter who's covering him.

823
00:37:41,480 --> 00:37:43,560
Speaker 1: He's a guy who's going to make a play if

824
00:37:43,600 --> 00:37:46,040
Speaker 1: you give him enough opportunities. Mike Williams will have been

825
00:37:46,080 --> 00:37:49,040
Speaker 1: a breakout start. It might happen against the Ravens in Baltimore.

826
00:37:49,120 --> 00:37:51,160
Speaker 1: I'd be in for that. I always gauge the space

827
00:37:51,239 --> 00:37:53,600
Speaker 1: on my wife. My wife Brooke knows like ten NFL players.

828
00:37:53,880 --> 00:37:55,959
Speaker 1: I think as of this weekend, she's gonna know Colts

829
00:37:56,040 --> 00:37:59,040
Speaker 1: running back Marlon Mack. Okay, first of all, great name,

830
00:37:59,160 --> 00:38:01,719
Speaker 1: sounds like a sex fish. Marlon Mack. I'm way into it.

831
00:38:01,920 --> 00:38:03,560
Speaker 1: Do you know how good Marlin Mack has been for

832
00:38:03,600 --> 00:38:05,759
Speaker 1: this team? Coulture ten and two in games that he

833
00:38:05,840 --> 00:38:08,920
Speaker 1: plays on and four without him, Andrew Luck never has

834
00:38:08,960 --> 00:38:11,800
Speaker 1: a workhorse running back Already, Marlin Mack has four of

835
00:38:11,880 --> 00:38:15,160
Speaker 1: the top five rushing performances of the Andrew Luck era.

836
00:38:15,480 --> 00:38:17,800
Speaker 1: My friends, he is doing things in the coach organization

837
00:38:17,840 --> 00:38:20,359
Speaker 1: that's put him with the ranks of Dickerson and Edgar

838
00:38:20,440 --> 00:38:23,000
Speaker 1: and James. He is twenty two years old. He carries

839
00:38:23,000 --> 00:38:25,439
Speaker 1: the load. Big game for Marlon Mack. You're welcome, honey.

840
00:38:26,080 --> 00:38:29,919
Speaker 1: I'm looking at the Sunday night game Seattle Seahawks Dallas

841
00:38:30,160 --> 00:38:32,880
Speaker 1: Saturday night, Saturday night game at eight pms A Seattle

842
00:38:32,880 --> 00:38:35,600
Speaker 1: Seahawks versus Dallas Cowboys. I'm looking at Chris Carson. It's

843
00:38:35,600 --> 00:38:37,160
Speaker 1: a guy we should be paying attention. There's the load,

844
00:38:37,320 --> 00:38:40,439
Speaker 1: one one hundred fifty one yards. I'm in his fifth

845
00:38:40,480 --> 00:38:43,080
Speaker 1: in Russian. Quietly just worked his way into the top five.

846
00:38:43,360 --> 00:38:46,200
Speaker 1: He's an absolute monster. My guy had two oh eight

847
00:38:46,400 --> 00:38:49,880
Speaker 1: look at this in the least four games of the season,

848
00:38:50,239 --> 00:38:53,000
Speaker 1: getting busy. What I love about him, though, is that

849
00:38:53,080 --> 00:38:55,240
Speaker 1: he can go out there and bring the in between

850
00:38:55,280 --> 00:38:58,120
Speaker 1: the tackles, the gritty runs. He can go outside, he

851
00:38:58,160 --> 00:38:59,960
Speaker 1: can catch out the backfield. I was trying to think

852
00:39:00,080 --> 00:39:02,239
Speaker 1: of the perfect acronym form, and I'm coming up with

853
00:39:02,400 --> 00:39:05,680
Speaker 1: MTM right because it's miraculous that they haven't running game

854
00:39:05,760 --> 00:39:08,600
Speaker 1: since Marshawn has been gone, it's been transforming for this

855
00:39:08,760 --> 00:39:11,480
Speaker 1: offense and it's vital to this offense. So MTV and

856
00:39:11,560 --> 00:39:13,319
Speaker 1: I was thinking about it. If defense want to focus

857
00:39:13,360 --> 00:39:15,680
Speaker 1: on they should focus on him Carson daily right, focus

858
00:39:15,760 --> 00:39:18,120
Speaker 1: on that, and then Saturday Night is a night game,

859
00:39:18,160 --> 00:39:20,440
Speaker 1: so it's going to be the Tonight Show with Chris Carson.

860
00:39:20,520 --> 00:39:23,040
Speaker 1: So do you thank Chris Carson? He's an absolute beast.

861
00:39:23,080 --> 00:39:25,160
Speaker 1: Old school running back years ago they played on a

862
00:39:25,200 --> 00:39:27,040
Speaker 1: Saturday night and they played against Detroit Lions on a

863
00:39:27,040 --> 00:39:31,439
Speaker 1: walk right, and it was Thomas Rawl. So I feel

864
00:39:31,440 --> 00:39:35,160
Speaker 1: like Carson might have that game. Thanks for tuning in
