Speaker 1: the song yet?

11
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:40,120

17
00:00:56,360 --> 00:00:58,600
Speaker 1: I don't know it's not a bad so I don't

18
00:00:58,640 --> 00:00:59,120
Speaker 1: know what it is.

19
00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:04,839

34
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:46,320
Speaker 1: what we need to do. What we need to have

35
00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:50,520
Speaker 1: a conversation about the AFC North. Okay, whatever the hell

36
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:53,600
Speaker 1: you call the AFC North this year because it's all

37
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:58,440
Speaker 1: on the line next Sunday Night. What a shocker. We

38
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:00,600
Speaker 1: we were on set last night, like, God, who do

39
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:02,360
Speaker 1: you think the Sunday night game is going to Because

40
00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:04,920
Speaker 1: they wait until the last minute to reveal it. It's like,

41
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:09,280
Speaker 1: who do you think the Ravens and the Steelers are

42
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:12,960
Speaker 1: playing for the AFC North? Based on Pittsburgh coming out

43
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:16,840
Speaker 1: and looking awful against the Cleveland Browns yesterday and Baltimore

44
00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:21,360
Speaker 1: dominating Green Bay with Snoop Puntley on Saturday night and

45
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:27,440
Speaker 1: so now it all comes down to Steelers, Ravens and

46
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:31,320
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh seeing if they can do it at home with

47
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:33,480
Speaker 1: no DK medk metcalflices.

48
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:39,639
Speaker 2: It's it's uh. He was sitting somewhere sick as hell yesterday, yep.

49
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:41,399
Speaker 2: Because he's the difference in the game.

50
00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:41,720
Speaker 4: Yep.

51
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:45,679
Speaker 2: They and and let me tell you something about yesterday

52
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 2: as well. And I mean some people said it made

53
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:52,200
Speaker 2: it kind of apparent and evident they were more interested

54
00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:57,440
Speaker 2: and not being the record for Miles Garrett than they

55
00:02:57,440 --> 00:02:59,840
Speaker 2: were winning that game. Oh you think so, Oh, they

56
00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:02,799
Speaker 2: were more interested in making sure that they could try

57
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:07,680
Speaker 2: to win that game while accomplishing not becoming making history

58
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:09,760
Speaker 2: with the Cleveland Browns.

59
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:14,840
Speaker 4: It was to me, it was so evident, and so.

60
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:18,800
Speaker 2: When you when you look at what they did, the

61
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:23,359
Speaker 2: one that was the most apparent and probably most egregious

62
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:30,120
Speaker 2: is the idea of not being under center as the

63
00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:37,960
Speaker 2: Pittsburgh Steelers, like you, aligned in a shotgun formation pretty

64
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:43,080
Speaker 2: much all game, Aaron Rodgers was not holding the ball

65
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:47,560
Speaker 2: long enough to take chances and take shots to create

66
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:51,080
Speaker 2: those big plays that help open up the run game.

67
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:54,560
Speaker 2: They've been very consistent with how they've ran the ball

68
00:03:55,760 --> 00:04:00,520
Speaker 2: They've been very consistent on opening up and accessing the

69
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:04,200
Speaker 2: second levels of in the third level of the defenses

70
00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:08,200
Speaker 2: for explosive plays based off of being aligned under center

71
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:12,840
Speaker 2: and running the football, and that's not what they did yesterday.

72
00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:17,360
Speaker 1: Mike Tomlin was asked about whether or not they changed

73
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:20,560
Speaker 1: the way they operated or whether or not that was

74
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:23,279
Speaker 1: more of a focus than was winning the game yesterday,

75
00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:25,560
Speaker 1: and he addressed the situation afterwards.

76
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:27,960
Speaker 5: We didn't do anything against Miles that we don't normally

77
00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:31,039
Speaker 5: do against Miles. The sack records irrelevant. We got to

78
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:34,000
Speaker 5: minimize him if we want to engineer victory. We did

79
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:36,120
Speaker 5: the same thing last time we played him. I didn't

80
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:38,400
Speaker 5: think he had any sacks in that game either, and

81
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:40,960
Speaker 5: so we didn't take a different approach because of the

82
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:44,680
Speaker 5: gravity of the record. It's just standard business when you

83
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:46,320
Speaker 5: when you play these guys and him.

84
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:48,960
Speaker 4: I don't I mean, I disagree with you.

85
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:51,880
Speaker 1: You're You're not alone, because I did see some people

86
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:55,599
Speaker 1: say that Pittsburgh looked like they were more concerned about

87
00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:59,599
Speaker 1: that than really anything else. And listen, you wouldn't be.

88
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:04,600
Speaker 2: It wouldn't be so obvious if Aaron Rodgers didn't wink

89
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:08,880
Speaker 2: at anymore whatever that was he did when Miles Garrett

90
00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:10,880
Speaker 2: came free and he just threw the ball away like

91
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:13,960
Speaker 2: they were more like while I'll say, yes, what Mike,

92
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:17,880
Speaker 2: what Mike Tomlin is saying is in theory, in fact,

93
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:22,720
Speaker 2: probably accurate. But the way they handled the things that

94
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:25,680
Speaker 2: they went about their business like we went about our business.

95
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:29,160
Speaker 2: They understood the gravity of what was going on, and

96
00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:35,920
Speaker 2: the gravity of that dictated quick releases. It was the

97
00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:40,000
Speaker 2: way things were handled on the field that made it

98
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:43,800
Speaker 2: seem as though that it was more important. And and

99
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:48,960
Speaker 2: and it's interesting because just on my little thread, one

100
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:52,600
Speaker 2: of the threads, there are a couple former Steelers on

101
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:56,680
Speaker 2: that thread, and they immediately was like, why are they

102
00:05:56,720 --> 00:06:00,320
Speaker 2: not under center? And I was like, well, it's explain

103
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:03,800
Speaker 2: to me what that represents to you. It is like, well,

104
00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:08,280
Speaker 2: they're clearly moving Aaron Rodgers away from the ball so

105
00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:11,359
Speaker 2: that he can see what's going on with Miles Garrett

106
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:15,480
Speaker 2: and get rid of the ball quickly. You're not now,

107
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:19,159
Speaker 2: I will say this, Well, never know, they didn't have

108
00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:24,240
Speaker 2: dk Metcalf, so they didn't you know, Valdad Scantling was

109
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:27,599
Speaker 2: you're probably your next best option or your tight ends

110
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:30,080
Speaker 2: the tight end, the big tight end goes out, he's

111
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:33,680
Speaker 2: jacked up. Now he's got a broken arm broken on

112
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:35,040
Speaker 2: in Washington, Washington.

113
00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:36,560
Speaker 4: You know it just.

114
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:40,600
Speaker 1: Maybe there's a little bit of.

115
00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:45,400
Speaker 2: The they did things a little bit differently, not based

116
00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:49,520
Speaker 2: off of Jess Miles Garrett, but based off of personnel.

117
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:54,200
Speaker 2: Maybe they had to do things a little differently. That's possible,

118
00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:57,400
Speaker 2: But I just think got a first glance the way

119
00:06:57,560 --> 00:07:01,840
Speaker 2: they went about things in that game, especially offensively speaking.

120
00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:04,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, they were aware of Miles Garrett.

121
00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:05,600
Speaker 2: And I'm gonna tell you how I know they were

122
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:09,640
Speaker 2: aware of them because they were trying to move him around.

123
00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:12,880
Speaker 2: The Browns were really trying to move him around, and

124
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:17,160
Speaker 2: they were like they were just so focused and dowed

125
00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:20,280
Speaker 2: in on. But you know, Miles Garrett has never sacked

126
00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:23,320
Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers. He's played against him, I believe three times.

127
00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:27,040
Speaker 2: He's never sacked them. So there is that. So I

128
00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:32,720
Speaker 2: will say to maybe Mike Tomlin's defense. I mean, they

129
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:35,880
Speaker 2: did play them once this year already, and he did

130
00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:38,600
Speaker 2: not get to Aaron Rodgers in that game either, So

131
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:40,000
Speaker 2: three times.

132
00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:45,040
Speaker 1: You know how in college football there's this conference pride,

133
00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:49,760
Speaker 1: which I always find odd because you're rooting against these

134
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:52,360
Speaker 1: teams the entire time, and then when your team's not

135
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:54,440
Speaker 1: in it, all of a sudden, it's SCC or it's

136
00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:57,280
Speaker 1: Big ten or whatever. It's like, you know, these are

137
00:07:57,320 --> 00:08:00,800
Speaker 1: your rivals, but you're supporting the conference the bigger picture.

138
00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:03,640
Speaker 1: I guess if you were one of those people with

139
00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:07,520
Speaker 1: the AFC North and you're all about supporting your AFC North,

140
00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:09,080
Speaker 1: you want to see it rec you want to see

141
00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:12,600
Speaker 1: it do big things in the postseason. If that's the case,

142
00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:17,200
Speaker 1: you definitely don't want Pittsburgh getting in because they are

143
00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:22,280
Speaker 1: one and done. If I've ever seen it, Baltimore feels

144
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:25,200
Speaker 1: like their ceiling is higher now, whether or not Lamar

145
00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:27,280
Speaker 1: Jackson plays and what the hell's going on with that

146
00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:30,240
Speaker 1: and all the reports from the Baltimore Sun and whatnot.

147
00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:33,960
Speaker 1: But Baltimore at least feels like you watch Derrick Henry

148
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:39,720
Speaker 1: and it's like, damn man four touchdown on the ground.

149
00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:41,040
Speaker 4: That's not sustainable.

150
00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:43,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, And it just it feels like Baltimore. And this

151
00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:47,160
Speaker 1: isn't just because you know, I'm pot committed because they

152
00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:49,200
Speaker 1: were my Super Bowl pick before the year, and so

153
00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:52,080
Speaker 1: it keeps the hope alive. I recognize neither one of

154
00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:56,360
Speaker 1: these teams has lived up to their expectation, especially Baltimore.

155
00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:58,959
Speaker 1: They've both been disappointments. But if you're one of those

156
00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:00,679
Speaker 1: people that's like, all right, but which one could make

157
00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:04,280
Speaker 1: noise in the postseason, I think it's the Ravens. Pittsburgh

158
00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:06,720
Speaker 1: looks like every other Pittsburgh team that's been to the

159
00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:10,760
Speaker 1: postseason the last ten years, one and done. And what

160
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:15,440
Speaker 1: yesterday showed me is, yeah, man, this DK Metcalf stuff

161
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:18,240
Speaker 1: was maybe a lot bigger of a deal on the

162
00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:19,720
Speaker 1: field than what people.

163
00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:20,960
Speaker 4: Wanted to make it out time you knew it.

164
00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:25,440
Speaker 1: They just they looked lost. There was no There was

165
00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:26,120
Speaker 1: just nothing.

166
00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:29,240
Speaker 2: They have no difference maker, nothing out there on the edges.

167
00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:32,800
Speaker 2: And it doesn't you can't open up and access a

168
00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:36,200
Speaker 2: defensive secondary if you don't have one guy that commands

169
00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:38,839
Speaker 2: a double team. You gotta have one that commands a

170
00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:41,320
Speaker 2: double team. You have to. If you don't have one,

171
00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:47,480
Speaker 2: then those guys that are out there being single covered,

172
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:52,000
Speaker 2: you had better be able to win win your matchups.

173
00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:55,120
Speaker 2: And again, like they were able to get the friar

174
00:09:55,160 --> 00:10:00,960
Speaker 2: moof a few times, but it just wasn't, you know,

175
00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:06,800
Speaker 2: it just wasn't as wide open a an offensive days

176
00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:10,000
Speaker 2: as you have seen in the past few weeks.

177
00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:12,360
Speaker 1: Like this is what it looks, and look, a lot

178
00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:14,679
Speaker 1: of this stuff is going to change. There's different scenarios

179
00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:16,360
Speaker 1: and whatnot that we can get in throughout the course

180
00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:18,800
Speaker 1: of the week. But as it stands right now, this

181
00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:21,280
Speaker 1: would be your four or five matchup. All right, let's

182
00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:24,240
Speaker 1: just say Pittsburgh wins next week. Let's just say those

183
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:26,520
Speaker 1: are the types of games they win. And by the way,

184
00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:29,959
Speaker 1: they're like, this is what the betting market thinks of Pittsburgh.

185
00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:32,760
Speaker 1: They're a three and a half point underdog at home

186
00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:35,520
Speaker 1: against Baltimore and we don't even know if Lamar Jackson

187
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:38,160
Speaker 1: is going to play. That's what everybody. So if you're

188
00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:41,200
Speaker 1: a Steelers fan and you get sensitive about this, that's

189
00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:45,719
Speaker 1: what that's what they think about your team. But this

190
00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:48,480
Speaker 1: would be your first round matchup if you're Pittsburgh. If

191
00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:50,240
Speaker 1: you were to win next week and you're hosting a

192
00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:54,400
Speaker 1: playoff game, you get the Houston Texans have fun with that.

193
00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:57,120
Speaker 1: As of right now, that's where we're at. That's the

194
00:10:57,240 --> 00:10:58,200
Speaker 1: four or five matchup.

195
00:10:58,240 --> 00:10:59,240
Speaker 4: Go and get out of that one.

196
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:02,600
Speaker 2: No, no, and I gonna get out of that one.

197
00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:05,400
Speaker 1: That's that's a nightmare. Like if you if you thought

198
00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:09,480
Speaker 1: Cleveland was getting after Rogers yesterday, what do you think

199
00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:11,360
Speaker 1: Houston's gonna do that?

200
00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:14,480
Speaker 2: And they've come on at the right time. Yes, they've

201
00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:18,000
Speaker 2: definitely started to They were still kind of like that

202
00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:20,960
Speaker 2: hot and cold type team. They've really kind of they've

203
00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:23,200
Speaker 2: they've turned it on for certain Yeah.

204
00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:27,360
Speaker 1: I just I look at this and I go, Baltimore

205
00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:30,080
Speaker 1: feels like the one of the two that you could go,

206
00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:33,200
Speaker 1: all right, maybe that's a sleeper. I just don't see

207
00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:34,280
Speaker 1: anything from Pittsburgh.

208
00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:38,240
Speaker 2: I don't see I feel the same way about Baltimore Personally.

209
00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:41,719
Speaker 2: I feel I feel as though Baltimore this year more

210
00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:45,680
Speaker 2: like I thought they were eliminated from the playoffs. To

211
00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:48,040
Speaker 2: be honest with you, they they've been a very, very

212
00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:51,520
Speaker 2: average team this year. They've been a very average team

213
00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:56,120
Speaker 2: this year, and I guess they're rewarded in the sense

214
00:11:56,200 --> 00:12:00,160
Speaker 2: that it's been an average year for the AFC North. Yeah,

215
00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:03,120
Speaker 2: and and so they're in the position that they're in

216
00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:08,240
Speaker 2: to get in by winning the division. Uh, but I

217
00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:11,800
Speaker 2: don't I don't listen. I asked this the other week

218
00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:14,880
Speaker 2: and and you guys got all weird and Clammy, I

219
00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:18,520
Speaker 2: guess because Harball isn't you know Mike Tomlin?

220
00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:18,920
Speaker 4: You know?

221
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:22,920
Speaker 2: But I compared the two and said, why should we

222
00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:26,760
Speaker 2: be looking at Mike Tomlin any differently than the way

223
00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:29,160
Speaker 2: we're looking at at Harball? Why should we be looking

224
00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:32,080
Speaker 2: at Harball any differently than the way we're looking at Tomlin.

225
00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:32,559
Speaker 1: Because he's white?

226
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:36,439
Speaker 2: There you go, Yeah, I'm glad you said it.

227
00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:37,240
Speaker 1: What do you mean?

228
00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:40,880
Speaker 2: I feel like Baltimore has hit their ceiling and and

229
00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:44,600
Speaker 2: if I'm being honest, there's a chance that Lamar Jackson

230
00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:46,960
Speaker 2: hit his There's a chance.

231
00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:50,679
Speaker 1: Oh did you see the uh the article that came

232
00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:53,520
Speaker 1: out in the Baltimore Sun. Lust But I'm surprised it

233
00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:55,760
Speaker 1: didn't get maybe because it was a holiday week. I'm

234
00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:59,400
Speaker 1: surprised that it didn't get more maybe more attention or

235
00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:01,320
Speaker 1: more run then.

236
00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:05,120
Speaker 2: But I've been saying this for a little while. Now,

237
00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:11,240
Speaker 2: Why isn't Harball on the hot seat in Baltimore?

238
00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:14,880
Speaker 1: Do you want to hear some of the quotes about

239
00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:20,000
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson here? So this was from Mike Preston of

240
00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:24,240
Speaker 1: the Baltimore Sun. Quote the breakdown of an NFL player's

241
00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:27,760
Speaker 1: body is natural, but Jackson could help himself. He doesn't

242
00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:30,000
Speaker 1: need to be up late at night playing video games

243
00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:32,679
Speaker 1: or falling asleep in team meetings. He needs to train

244
00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:36,120
Speaker 1: more around the castle instead of only attending mandatory mini

245
00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:39,480
Speaker 1: camps where he disappears after one day. A major problem,

246
00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:41,480
Speaker 1: a lot of it is on the Ravens, is that

247
00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:43,360
Speaker 1: there are team rules and then there are rules for

248
00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:46,199
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson. That's why Baltimore practices in the heat of

249
00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:49,280
Speaker 1: the afternoon instead of in the morning. Once the Ravens

250
00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:52,840
Speaker 1: become critical of Jackson, he becomes more withdrawn. It's a

251
00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:55,839
Speaker 1: shame because Jackson isn't a mean spirited person, just an

252
00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:58,480
Speaker 1: overgrown kid and an adult's body. It's clear that coach

253
00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:02,000
Speaker 1: John Harbaugh has become tired of Jackson, even though he

254
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:04,880
Speaker 1: builds him up after every game. He has to or

255
00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:08,920
Speaker 1: Jackson will go into his self exile. Boy, that seems

256
00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:13,439
Speaker 1: like a fun relationship. And I'll say this, I reached

257
00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:15,520
Speaker 1: out to somebody who would know a little bit more

258
00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:18,720
Speaker 1: about this and close to that situation than I would,

259
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:21,120
Speaker 1: and they said that there's one hundred percent validity to

260
00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:25,360
Speaker 1: all that. So it does feel like if Baltimore doesn't

261
00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:29,000
Speaker 1: get in the conversation you're having about John Harbaugh is

262
00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:31,200
Speaker 1: a real one. And I don't know if this is

263
00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:33,280
Speaker 1: a either or you got to keep one or the

264
00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:36,160
Speaker 1: other because that relationship has run its course. But it

265
00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:39,320
Speaker 1: does feel like this game Sunday Night there's going to

266
00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:43,440
Speaker 1: be some changes. Like whoever loses this game on Sunday Night,

267
00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:46,600
Speaker 1: there's going to be some changes. If Pittsburgh loses, that

268
00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:48,280
Speaker 1: could be the end of Aaron Rodgers. If I re

269
00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:50,000
Speaker 1: betting right now, that's probably it.

270
00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:54,920
Speaker 2: I feel like, I feel like when you look at

271
00:14:54,960 --> 00:15:02,640
Speaker 2: the Lamar Jackson situation, it it's not going to be

272
00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:06,360
Speaker 2: an easy fix one way or the other. If it's

273
00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:09,440
Speaker 2: as if it's what it sounds like and what you're

274
00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:12,040
Speaker 2: you know what you just read, and if it does

275
00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:15,640
Speaker 2: have validity to it, it's not an easy fix. And

276
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:18,240
Speaker 2: you look at it from the standpoint, it's not easy.

277
00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:21,080
Speaker 2: If you hadn't noticed, it's not easy to find quarterbacks

278
00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:25,800
Speaker 2: that can impact your team. That's one, And how much

279
00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:30,880
Speaker 2: time does a coach get with that changing of the QB.

280
00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:34,920
Speaker 2: Then two, you have a quarterback that at times flash

281
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:40,480
Speaker 2: is brilliance, two time MVP and and has shown the

282
00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:46,080
Speaker 2: ability to be hid and shoulders better than everybody else

283
00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:48,760
Speaker 2: out there on the field.

284
00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:52,160
Speaker 4: But then you look at.

285
00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:55,560
Speaker 2: The shortcomings when the games are on the line and

286
00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:58,760
Speaker 2: they really matter, and listen, some of that is not

287
00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:02,560
Speaker 2: at the field of Lamar Jackson. Not to blame him

288
00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:06,440
Speaker 2: for some of the things that have happened in playoff games,

289
00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:11,440
Speaker 2: but nonetheless they happened. I think what brings to life

290
00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:17,440
Speaker 2: the real life concern of this situation, or if those

291
00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:20,240
Speaker 2: quotes are real, if those are the things that are

292
00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:24,760
Speaker 2: going on, you know, at some point players start to

293
00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:28,880
Speaker 2: look at it from the standpoint of maybe we have

294
00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:33,640
Speaker 2: a whole lot more to do with this ship running

295
00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:38,320
Speaker 2: smoothly through all of the moments that y'all have, with

296
00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:41,760
Speaker 2: what y'all got going on. And if that is the case,

297
00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:48,720
Speaker 2: if that becomes more of a pronounced situation, then that ultimately,

298
00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:52,800
Speaker 2: which has been the same conversation we've had about Tomlin

299
00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:56,680
Speaker 2: and Pittsburgh. If you're doing things that have led to

300
00:16:56,840 --> 00:17:02,200
Speaker 2: consistent shortcomings at a certain position and it's led to

301
00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:09,640
Speaker 2: the team maybe their ultimate demise each season, then you're

302
00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:13,479
Speaker 2: talking about, oh, has he lost the locker room? And

303
00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:17,400
Speaker 2: then I would ask the same question about horrorball in Baltimore.

304
00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:23,399
Speaker 2: If Indeed, Lamar Jackson is somewhat hitting a plateau in

305
00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:27,000
Speaker 2: his career. Maybe I won't go as far as to

306
00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:29,040
Speaker 2: say his ceiling, but it's possible he could have hit

307
00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:29,520
Speaker 2: his ceiling.

308
00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:33,800
Speaker 1: And look if he did reach his ceiling, Damn, that's

309
00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:34,560
Speaker 1: a high ceiling.

310
00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:36,080
Speaker 4: I mean he hit a high ceiling.

311
00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:40,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, but if your harball, how do you handle this situation?

312
00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:43,479
Speaker 2: And if you're handling it the way that this article

313
00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:46,000
Speaker 2: is saying it, then you're running the risk of losing

314
00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:48,480
Speaker 2: your locker room. When if you're not running it that way,

315
00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:50,880
Speaker 2: you're running the risk of losing your quarterback. Which one

316
00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:51,480
Speaker 2: is worth it?

317
00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:54,679
Speaker 1: They look pretty damn good on Saturday Night, Like that

318
00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:57,400
Speaker 1: didn't look like a team that was like f this guy.

319
00:17:57,480 --> 00:17:59,159
Speaker 1: And I'm not Look, I don't. I don't want to

320
00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:01,280
Speaker 1: pick sides because I love Lamar Jackson. He's one of

321
00:18:01,320 --> 00:18:03,960
Speaker 1: my favorite players in the league. I think he's been fantastic.

322
00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:07,040
Speaker 1: But I have noticed, and I think a lot of

323
00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:10,000
Speaker 1: people have. Damn, he misses a lot of time. And

324
00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:12,840
Speaker 1: it's either he's sick, or he's this, or he's and

325
00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:23,040
Speaker 1: it's those like those quotes from that article. Those I'm sorry,

326
00:18:23,040 --> 00:18:28,600
Speaker 1: I those quotes like those quotes from the article stays

327
00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:31,680
Speaker 1: up too late at night playing video games, they falls

328
00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:35,080
Speaker 1: asleep in team meetings like those aren't just generic, you know,

329
00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:39,240
Speaker 1: painting a broad picture type of quote. Those are specific,

330
00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:43,080
Speaker 1: which leads me to believe this got out because somebody

331
00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:45,840
Speaker 1: wanted it to get out, because maybe somebody's tired of

332
00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:48,919
Speaker 1: the fact that he is sick all the time, that

333
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:52,200
Speaker 1: he can't stay healthy, that he doesn't practice full weeks,

334
00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:55,800
Speaker 1: that he's missed like seven straight Wednesday practices, and everything

335
00:18:55,840 --> 00:18:58,040
Speaker 1: that comes along with it. And so yeah, maybe it

336
00:18:58,119 --> 00:19:01,400
Speaker 1: is to the point to where it's reached its ceiling,

337
00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:06,120
Speaker 1: and it's a really high ceiling. And people can say, well, yeah,

338
00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:08,120
Speaker 1: but you never won a Super Bowl. Man, not everybody

339
00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:11,320
Speaker 1: can win super Bowls, Like it's really hard to do.

340
00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:13,359
Speaker 1: Not everybody can do it. There's a lot of great

341
00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:16,640
Speaker 1: quarterbacks that have gone through the history of the NFL

342
00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:19,520
Speaker 1: that never won a Super Bowl or never even got

343
00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:23,640
Speaker 1: to a Super Bowl. I just I think that this

344
00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:28,400
Speaker 1: game coming up on Sunday night for the loser, there's

345
00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:31,200
Speaker 1: going to be changes based on how this season is

346
00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:33,040
Speaker 1: look for both of them. And the one that's the

347
00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:35,800
Speaker 1: most interesting is the one that we're talking about, Lamar Jez.

348
00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:39,400
Speaker 2: I thought I've always thought it was the most interesting one, honestly.

349
00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:43,760
Speaker 2: But I will say Pittsburgh is a super Pittsburgh is

350
00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:45,879
Speaker 2: the more discussed topic.

351
00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:47,399
Speaker 4: It's the more talked about topic.

352
00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:51,080
Speaker 2: But I feel like they both are in the same situation,

353
00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:57,000
Speaker 2: and I feel like both conversations are conversations that probably

354
00:19:57,080 --> 00:19:58,040
Speaker 2: will be ensuing.

355
00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:02,159
Speaker 4: It's not going to be ignored. I'll say that. I

356
00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:02,840
Speaker 4: don't see it.

357
00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:07,480
Speaker 2: Being a it goes and and listen, Jonas, It's not

358
00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:12,760
Speaker 2: over after that game. If they go in, whoever doesn't

359
00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:15,880
Speaker 2: make it in right because whoever loses, basically they go home.

360
00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:19,240
Speaker 2: Yeah they're done. Yeah that's an issue. But then the

361
00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:22,560
Speaker 2: next team is going to go in and what if

362
00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:23,680
Speaker 2: they are one and done team.

363
00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:25,720
Speaker 1: So and that's why I look at Pittsburgh and I

364
00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:28,280
Speaker 1: go they feel like a one and done team. Who

365
00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:31,880
Speaker 1: would let me ask you this, if it is, you know, Houston,

366
00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:35,080
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh or Houston. If it's Houston versus the AFC North

367
00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:38,080
Speaker 1: winner in the first three, who would you trust more

368
00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:40,480
Speaker 1: in that game against you? I don't trust either one

369
00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:43,840
Speaker 1: of them. I would trust Baltimore. Why because it's the

370
00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:46,440
Speaker 1: same team because they can run the ball and the

371
00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:49,320
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh and they've got a mobile quarterback to get away from.

372
00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:51,200
Speaker 4: That Pastwsburgh doesn't have a mobile quarterback.

373
00:20:51,320 --> 00:20:55,040
Speaker 1: Why not? And you don't know you don't because he's white? No,

374
00:20:55,320 --> 00:20:59,280
Speaker 1: because don't no, Just go with that, please, LaVar Arrington says,

375
00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:03,639
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh's quarterback is not mobile because he's white. Run for

376
00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:06,639
Speaker 1: that anyway, tag Ryan Clark.

377
00:21:06,359 --> 00:21:06,920
Speaker 4: If you because.

378
00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:14,280
Speaker 2: That's a good one. I was joking everyone, because they'll

379
00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:16,359
Speaker 2: they'll pick that up. Of course they'll run out in

380
00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:20,600
Speaker 2: Pittsburgh too. About everybody has a sense anymore. I was joking.

381
00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:24,560
Speaker 2: I mean Aaron Rodgers, I don't care if he was black.

382
00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:28,440
Speaker 2: He's old as hell and he can't he can't run anymore.

383
00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:31,520
Speaker 2: I mean that that one pat he went back for

384
00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:34,320
Speaker 2: the past and tried to run for the first down.

385
00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:36,280
Speaker 2: It was like two yards to get the first down.

386
00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:39,280
Speaker 2: And his mind said, you can go fast like the

387
00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:41,520
Speaker 2: old Aaron, but his body was like, I can't go

388
00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:44,439
Speaker 2: fast like the old Aaron, and his legs started spinning

389
00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:47,199
Speaker 2: real fast and he just fell down like missed the

390
00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:49,480
Speaker 2: first down, didn't get it anyways. I knew he was

391
00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:53,159
Speaker 2: done at that, but this is a bigger question for

392
00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:56,720
Speaker 2: Lamar Jackson and where do you go from here? How

393
00:21:56,760 --> 00:22:02,800
Speaker 2: do you view Lamar Jackson moving forward. One, if they

394
00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:04,800
Speaker 2: were to lose this game and not make it to

395
00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:07,720
Speaker 2: the playoffs, is it just off season, let's see what happens.

396
00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:11,320
Speaker 2: Or Two, they make it to the playoffs and it

397
00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:15,200
Speaker 2: isn't the type of playoff run that people were hoping

398
00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:18,520
Speaker 2: for from the Baltimore Ravens. I don't have confidence that

399
00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:21,080
Speaker 2: either one of these teams can do well in the playoffs.

400
00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:23,760
Speaker 2: So it's almost like you got a big ass scab

401
00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:26,879
Speaker 2: on it, and one is going to get the scab

402
00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:31,440
Speaker 2: pulled off next week, well, this week, another is going

403
00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:33,720
Speaker 2: to get the scab, which which one is more painful.

404
00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:34,640
Speaker 4: I'd rather get the.

405
00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:38,440
Speaker 2: Scab pulled off now, Oh yeah, just get it out.

406
00:22:38,359 --> 00:22:38,639
Speaker 4: Of the way.

407
00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:38,920
Speaker 3: Ye have.

408
00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:40,679
Speaker 1: At least she get to the playoffs. It's you know,

409
00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:41,919
Speaker 1: it's fun.

410
00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:45,520
Speaker 2: These are two teams that have not had losing seasons, which,

411
00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:50,359
Speaker 2: by the way, I do believe if what are the

412
00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:51,399
Speaker 2: Steelers right now?

413
00:22:52,119 --> 00:22:56,880
Speaker 1: The Pittsburgh Steelers' efforting, efforting, efforting, The Pittsburgh Steelers are

414
00:22:57,000 --> 00:22:59,719
Speaker 1: nine and seven, Okay, so they'll still end up with it.

415
00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:02,640
Speaker 2: But the Ravens for eight and eight, Yeah, they could

416
00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:04,040
Speaker 2: be an eight, So they could be an eight to

417
00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:11,480
Speaker 2: nine team. I'm just saying I think either way there's

418
00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:15,639
Speaker 2: going to be a tremendous judgment if a team makes it.

419
00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:17,800
Speaker 2: If one of those teams makes it, to which one

420
00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:21,320
Speaker 2: will make it to the playoffs and they're not competitive

421
00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:25,200
Speaker 2: in the playoffs, I think that that's more damning than

422
00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:29,439
Speaker 2: missing the playoffs against a divisional opponent that historically, you

423
00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:31,640
Speaker 2: guys have been the top and the crest and which

424
00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:34,800
Speaker 2: you are because you're playing for the divisional title. So

425
00:23:37,119 --> 00:23:40,080
Speaker 2: I would rather lose that game than losing the playoffs.

426
00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:43,080
Speaker 1: Honestly, I know it's going to be a tough road regardless.

427
00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:45,000
Speaker 1: And by the way, the road to Milan runs through

428
00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:50,400
Speaker 1: Saint Louis see Iliam allenin Alyssa lou and Amber Glenn

429

437
00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:20,800

438
00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:22,520
Speaker 1: with this whole thing. They don't deserve to be in

439

Speaker 1: buying should be. So the other big one, though, there

515
00:28:21,359 --> 00:28:24,120
Speaker 1: are two games in the in the late window yesterday,

516
00:28:24,680 --> 00:28:26,920
Speaker 1: and you had to choose, right, you could either watch

517
00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:30,040
Speaker 1: the Eagles and the Bills. You have to choose, or

518
00:28:30,160 --> 00:28:34,359
Speaker 1: you can watch the Giants and the Raiders. And I mean,

519
00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:38,040
Speaker 1: I think we all know what you should have watched. Yeah,

520
00:28:38,080 --> 00:28:40,400
Speaker 1: that's that's a couple of bad teams in the other one.

521
00:28:40,520 --> 00:28:46,520
Speaker 1: But Eagles Bills yesterday you mentioned Philadelphia's defense. Jalen Carter

522
00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:52,040
Speaker 1: is a beast and whatever whatever that guy's going to get,

523
00:28:52,160 --> 00:28:56,160
Speaker 1: whatever his contract's going to look like, he deserves every penny.

524
00:28:56,640 --> 00:28:59,200
Speaker 1: That guy's a game wrecker. He missed the last three

525
00:28:59,280 --> 00:29:06,000
Speaker 1: games and he was involved in seemingly every single defensive series,

526
00:29:06,200 --> 00:29:09,840
Speaker 1: situation scenario they were in that that had a positive outcome.

527
00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:12,320
Speaker 1: Jalen Carter was involved in all of it. Blocked an

528
00:29:12,320 --> 00:29:16,880
Speaker 1: extra point. He's unbelievable. And yesterday the Philadelphia Eagles go

529
00:29:17,160 --> 00:29:22,040
Speaker 1: on the road in Buffalo in the rain, was not pretty,

530
00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:25,920
Speaker 1: did not look like the most glorious victory in the world,

531
00:29:26,040 --> 00:29:29,200
Speaker 1: but still championship pedigree and Philly gets it done on

532
00:29:29,280 --> 00:29:29,520
Speaker 1: the road.

533
00:29:29,640 --> 00:29:32,600
Speaker 2: If they had an offense, this team would be far

534
00:29:32,680 --> 00:29:37,680
Speaker 2: and away probably the favorite to win it again if

535
00:29:37,720 --> 00:29:41,400
Speaker 2: they that's how good their defense is. Is that their

536
00:29:41,600 --> 00:29:46,920
Speaker 2: offense isn't that good at all. And they're still an

537
00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:51,640
Speaker 2: eleven and five team. That's a top of the NFC East,

538
00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:54,280
Speaker 2: that that is one of the top teams in the

539
00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:59,320
Speaker 2: NFC going into and some would say, you know, I

540
00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:01,560
Speaker 2: got Group two, that's one one one of the people

541
00:30:01,640 --> 00:30:03,600
Speaker 2: in the group chat. Sit, man, they're getting hot at

542
00:30:03,600 --> 00:30:10,360
Speaker 2: the right time. Let's see no offense, no offense. They're

543
00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:13,560
Speaker 2: they're in trouble. If you ask me, it's a team

544
00:30:13,640 --> 00:30:17,320
Speaker 2: that's in trouble because you have you have to bring

545
00:30:17,560 --> 00:30:21,560
Speaker 2: more offense to the table than what the Philadelphia Eagles

546
00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:24,239
Speaker 2: are doing. That's there, that's their a kiellzeel right now.

547
00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:27,600
Speaker 2: They don't have their offense. Isn't a good offense?

548
00:30:27,760 --> 00:30:30,760
Speaker 1: That's your problem. Man, You're just like every other Eagles fan,

549
00:30:31,080 --> 00:30:33,320
Speaker 1: you know, only looking at the negative side. I mean,

550
00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:35,840
Speaker 1: I mean you want you want to hear Nick Sirianni.

551
00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:39,160
Speaker 1: He's got a little message to Philadelphia Eagles fans who

552
00:30:39,160 --> 00:30:40,480
Speaker 1: aren't happy about the performance.

553
00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:42,840
Speaker 8: If you come out of this and you have, then

554
00:30:42,880 --> 00:30:45,760
Speaker 8: you're you're just thinking about all the negative things that

555
00:30:45,800 --> 00:30:47,800
Speaker 8: happen that makes for a miserable existence.

556
00:30:48,080 --> 00:30:49,960
Speaker 1: We'll get there, We'll get to what we need to

557
00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:50,440
Speaker 1: clean up.

558
00:30:50,560 --> 00:30:52,840
Speaker 8: And you know, a really good first half by the offense,

559
00:30:52,880 --> 00:30:54,960
Speaker 8: not a great second half, and a lot of a

560
00:30:55,040 --> 00:30:56,320
Speaker 8: lot of different reasons why.

561
00:30:56,640 --> 00:31:00,880
Speaker 1: When he says we'll get there, it's this week seventeen.

562
00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:02,400
Speaker 4: But maybe they'll get there.

563
00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:06,320
Speaker 2: I mean, you're eleven and five, and this is why

564
00:31:06,360 --> 00:31:09,240
Speaker 2: I'll give them credit for you're eleven and five.

565
00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:14,120
Speaker 1: And you won a really, really really hard game.

566
00:31:14,120 --> 00:31:18,720
Speaker 4: That was not that was not an easy game to win.

567
00:31:19,520 --> 00:31:21,920
Speaker 2: To go into Orchard and be able to pull off

568
00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:25,719
Speaker 2: that victory, that is as quality of victory as it get.

569
00:31:26,600 --> 00:31:29,360
Speaker 1: Even though the Buffalo.

570
00:31:29,120 --> 00:31:31,840
Speaker 2: Bills have been known to be a little bit you know,

571
00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:36,920
Speaker 2: they have multiple personalities. Yeah, it's a multiple personality team

572
00:31:37,040 --> 00:31:39,640
Speaker 2: that you know, sometimes you don't know what you're going

573
00:31:39,720 --> 00:31:43,120
Speaker 2: to get. But that isn't the team you got yesterday.

574
00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:45,640
Speaker 2: You got a team that was ready to win, and

575
00:31:45,760 --> 00:31:48,360
Speaker 2: they almost won. They you know, they were a little

576
00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:52,440
Speaker 2: bit off. I, for one, would have after having that

577
00:31:52,600 --> 00:31:57,760
Speaker 2: type of opportunity. I get in a lot of ways.

578
00:31:57,920 --> 00:32:01,520
Speaker 2: Why you know, you you went for the two, The

579
00:32:01,680 --> 00:32:05,560
Speaker 2: defense was playing really well. Maybe you didn't want to

580
00:32:06,600 --> 00:32:10,360
Speaker 2: risk the tie coming in overtime, but I might have.

581
00:32:11,200 --> 00:32:13,080
Speaker 2: I might have kicked the field goal and took it

582
00:32:13,160 --> 00:32:15,720
Speaker 2: to overtime and saw what we could get done in overtime.

583
00:32:15,800 --> 00:32:16,480
Speaker 1: No extra point.

584
00:32:16,960 --> 00:32:19,720
Speaker 2: I really I really felt as though. But you know,

585
00:32:19,800 --> 00:32:24,560
Speaker 2: there's the paranoia you got a field goal blocked earlier. Carter, Yeah,

586
00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:28,040
Speaker 2: I mean there's I get it. I get it, But

587
00:32:28,320 --> 00:32:32,760
Speaker 2: I would rather have lost taking a field goal an

588
00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:36,520
Speaker 2: extra point attempt and seeing what we could do in

589
00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:41,040
Speaker 2: overtime versus versus going for the two point.

590
00:32:41,120 --> 00:32:43,600
Speaker 1: In that moment, Sean McDermott, the coach of the Bills,

591
00:32:43,680 --> 00:32:46,400
Speaker 1: spoke about the decision to go for two and go

592
00:32:46,600 --> 00:32:48,760
Speaker 1: for the win late in that game. Let's take a listen,

593
00:32:52,320 --> 00:32:54,080
Speaker 1: I want to be aggressive going for the win.

594
00:32:55,880 --> 00:32:57,920
Speaker 3: You know, would you feel like, you know, on a

595
00:32:58,000 --> 00:33:02,000
Speaker 3: certain amount of time left at that point, and so

596
00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:04,840
Speaker 3: like we had a great, great call, great opportunity.

597
00:33:04,480 --> 00:33:06,280
Speaker 6: To go wining, and I'm going to be aggressive. So

598
00:33:06,360 --> 00:33:11,600
Speaker 6: I sit back the j blot earlier impactures making.

599
00:33:12,280 --> 00:33:17,040
Speaker 1: Potentially it wasn't everything, but I trust Josh Allen with

600
00:33:17,120 --> 00:33:18,840
Speaker 1: the ball in his hands, and I do it over again.

601
00:33:19,840 --> 00:33:23,440
Speaker 1: Josh Allen even admitted afterwards, like I just I made

602
00:33:23,480 --> 00:33:26,640
Speaker 1: it back throw. Yeah, So the I mean, the call

603
00:33:26,840 --> 00:33:29,680
Speaker 1: was there, the play was there, the opportunity was there,

604
00:33:29,840 --> 00:33:32,360
Speaker 1: and you know, he just he rolled with it and

605
00:33:32,440 --> 00:33:36,320
Speaker 1: decided I'm going to go and trust my MVP and

606
00:33:36,400 --> 00:33:37,960
Speaker 1: my best player with the ball in his hands.

607
00:33:38,040 --> 00:33:38,200
Speaker 3: Late.

608
00:33:38,280 --> 00:33:40,320
Speaker 4: But I think they what's that supposed to say?

609
00:33:40,360 --> 00:33:40,400
Speaker 3: That?

610
00:33:40,520 --> 00:33:41,400
Speaker 4: Well it didn't work.

611
00:33:41,640 --> 00:33:43,880
Speaker 1: Well, it didn't work, But I also think it says

612
00:33:44,160 --> 00:33:48,040
Speaker 1: a lot about Philly's defense because they had him rattled

613
00:33:48,120 --> 00:33:51,800
Speaker 1: and scrambled the entire game. Like Buffalo's offense did not

614
00:33:51,920 --> 00:33:54,640
Speaker 1: look and they struggled last week as well too. And

615
00:33:54,680 --> 00:33:56,680
Speaker 1: I don't know if Josh Allen's more hurt than he's

616
00:33:56,760 --> 00:33:58,960
Speaker 1: leading on. There was a report that he went in

617
00:33:59,040 --> 00:34:00,760
Speaker 1: to get an X ray after the game. We tried

618
00:34:00,760 --> 00:34:03,239
Speaker 1: to tell everybody, I'm not injured, I'm not banged up.

619
00:34:03,320 --> 00:34:04,880
Speaker 1: You know, he had something going on with his foot

620
00:34:04,960 --> 00:34:07,160
Speaker 1: going into the game. He went in to get an

621
00:34:07,280 --> 00:34:11,320
Speaker 1: X ray afterwards. That's something to monitor. But I just

622
00:34:11,480 --> 00:34:18,960
Speaker 1: think Philadelphia's defense had them scrambled, and you know, like

623
00:34:19,040 --> 00:34:22,000
Speaker 1: the goal line stop, Like there were so many opportunities

624
00:34:22,080 --> 00:34:24,960
Speaker 1: there for Buffalo to punch it in to make a

625
00:34:25,080 --> 00:34:27,960
Speaker 1: run at this thing, and Philadelphia just stood up. And

626
00:34:28,239 --> 00:34:32,400
Speaker 1: that's why in a wide open NFC where you have

627
00:34:32,560 --> 00:34:36,200
Speaker 1: no idea who to really trust going into it, how

628
00:34:36,239 --> 00:34:40,200
Speaker 1: do you not trust Philadelphia? Who's been there, won those

629
00:34:40,239 --> 00:34:44,120
Speaker 1: big games, has that defense, and as has the talent

630
00:34:44,200 --> 00:34:47,239
Speaker 1: on offense. It just hasn't clicked so far this year.

631
00:34:47,400 --> 00:34:50,799
Speaker 2: As long as their defense shows up they had, they

632
00:34:50,840 --> 00:34:56,440
Speaker 2: should be in every game, every game. But again, as

633
00:34:56,520 --> 00:34:59,080
Speaker 2: long as their defense shows up. I mean, imagine if

634
00:34:59,120 --> 00:35:01,440
Speaker 2: they found themselves in the type of game that San

635
00:35:01,560 --> 00:35:04,480
Speaker 2: fran and Chicago found themselves in last night. They don't

636
00:35:04,480 --> 00:35:06,880
Speaker 2: have enough firepower to be in a game like that,

637
00:35:07,320 --> 00:35:09,400
Speaker 2: and they should have enough firepower. They should have more

638
00:35:09,480 --> 00:35:15,440
Speaker 2: than enough firepower. I mean, personnel wise, you have Sakwan Barkley,

639
00:35:15,480 --> 00:35:18,759
Speaker 2: you have aj Brown, you have Johan Dotson, you have

640
00:35:19,600 --> 00:35:22,239
Speaker 2: Smith Levante Smith, Like.

641
00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:26,120
Speaker 1: You're loaded. You have a really really fine offensive front.

642
00:35:27,200 --> 00:35:30,440
Speaker 4: I mean, you you have what you need.

643
00:35:31,800 --> 00:35:35,879
Speaker 2: It doesn't make sense. It does not make sense other

644
00:35:36,040 --> 00:35:41,719
Speaker 2: than to think that Jalen Hurts will always protect the

645
00:35:41,840 --> 00:35:45,360
Speaker 2: best interests of the integrity of what's going on with

646
00:35:45,600 --> 00:35:49,000
Speaker 2: the game. In other words, he's going to protect the ball,

647
00:35:50,520 --> 00:35:54,759
Speaker 2: not going to take very many risks, and is going

648
00:35:55,480 --> 00:36:01,040
Speaker 2: like he's going to proudly and and with honor.

649
00:36:02,120 --> 00:36:02,799
Speaker 4: He's going to.

650
00:36:02,960 --> 00:36:07,440
Speaker 2: Manage the games. He's going to manage almost like a parent.

651
00:36:07,560 --> 00:36:10,920
Speaker 2: He's like a parent on the football field, you know

652
00:36:10,960 --> 00:36:13,080
Speaker 2: what I mean, Like you're not as a parent. You're

653
00:36:13,120 --> 00:36:15,600
Speaker 2: not going to have like you go to the park

654
00:36:15,760 --> 00:36:21,480
Speaker 2: or you go somewhere, You're always managing. You're always managing always.

655
00:36:22,640 --> 00:36:26,160
Speaker 2: Yet hey, no, not on there no get down, get down,

656
00:36:26,360 --> 00:36:30,640
Speaker 2: down right, leave him alone? Watch your watch, your footing,

657
00:36:30,800 --> 00:36:33,719
Speaker 2: what are you doing? Put your shoe back on. That's

658
00:36:33,840 --> 00:36:36,719
Speaker 2: Jayalen Hurts. In my estimation, he's like a dad, and

659
00:36:37,040 --> 00:36:39,160
Speaker 2: maybe that's why it gets under people's scaling.

660
00:36:38,880 --> 00:36:39,399
Speaker 4: In my case.

661
00:36:39,480 --> 00:36:51,359
Speaker 1: Alto vom no Moss true, Thank you, Jerry.

662
00:36:53,080 --> 00:36:56,879
Speaker 4: I'm just saying. I mean, they won a super Bowl

663
00:36:56,920 --> 00:36:59,120
Speaker 4: and he won a m v P of wh I mean,

664
00:36:59,200 --> 00:37:00,480
Speaker 4: it's not like a doesn't work.

665
00:37:00,600 --> 00:37:04,080
Speaker 1: And you know that the offense looks significantly better last

666
00:37:04,160 --> 00:37:06,640
Speaker 1: year as opposed to this year. Yeah, I just think

667
00:37:06,920 --> 00:37:09,840
Speaker 1: that speaks volumes about the NFC that you're going to

668
00:37:09,920 --> 00:37:13,160
Speaker 1: get a team like Philly who's not going to have

669
00:37:13,320 --> 00:37:15,320
Speaker 1: the one seed, who's not gonna have anywhere close to

670
00:37:15,360 --> 00:37:16,600
Speaker 1: the one seed, who's going.

671
00:37:16,480 --> 00:37:16,680
Speaker 3: To be.

672
00:37:18,400 --> 00:37:20,920
Speaker 1: A real threat to make what they're playing for that

673
00:37:21,160 --> 00:37:21,759
Speaker 1: second seed?

674
00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:22,399
Speaker 4: Right Yeah?

675
00:37:22,600 --> 00:37:25,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, And if they get that second seed, I mean

676
00:37:25,719 --> 00:37:28,439
Speaker 2: you have to go through Philly to get it done.

677
00:37:28,719 --> 00:37:30,160
Speaker 2: A plan against Philly, yeah, you.

678
00:37:30,160 --> 00:37:30,520
Speaker 4: Got to do.

679
00:37:30,800 --> 00:37:32,520
Speaker 1: They'll get the two to seven matchup and then you

680
00:37:32,600 --> 00:37:34,759
Speaker 1: wait to see the first round how that shapes up.

681
00:37:35,480 --> 00:37:37,399
Speaker 1: But yeah, they're going to get at least a game

682
00:37:37,560 --> 00:37:42,200
Speaker 1: at home, and that's a problem. There's also the outside

683
00:37:42,320 --> 00:37:44,000
Speaker 1: chance they could end up with the Rams in the

684
00:37:44,080 --> 00:37:47,719
Speaker 1: first round, and we saw what happened last year in

685
00:37:47,719 --> 00:37:50,040
Speaker 1: the playoffs. That was a really close game. Rams probably

686
00:37:50,040 --> 00:37:52,319
Speaker 1: should have won the game earlier this year.

687
00:37:52,520 --> 00:37:55,880
Speaker 2: So look, but at what point do you get to

688
00:37:56,040 --> 00:38:00,480
Speaker 2: a place where you say that about the Eagles last night?

689
00:38:00,719 --> 00:38:03,319
Speaker 2: If you're watching that Eagles game, what do you say

690
00:38:03,360 --> 00:38:07,200
Speaker 2: about the Buffalo Bills. It's probably a game that the

691
00:38:07,239 --> 00:38:09,640
Speaker 2: Buffalo bill should have got away, I should have got

692
00:38:09,719 --> 00:38:11,719
Speaker 2: out of and won. They should have been able to

693
00:38:11,760 --> 00:38:13,960
Speaker 2: get that two point conversion and win the game. But

694
00:38:14,120 --> 00:38:16,520
Speaker 2: when you look at the game and its entirety and

695
00:38:16,640 --> 00:38:21,040
Speaker 2: its whole Philadelphia did what they needed to do and

696
00:38:21,160 --> 00:38:23,400
Speaker 2: they won the game. They got a lead that protected

697
00:38:23,440 --> 00:38:26,880
Speaker 2: the lead. It's always going to be hard the further

698
00:38:27,120 --> 00:38:30,359
Speaker 2: they go and the more they do it, it's going

699
00:38:30,440 --> 00:38:32,520
Speaker 2: to get harder and harder to say that's a game

700
00:38:32,560 --> 00:38:35,759
Speaker 2: they should have lost, because that's kind of the way

701
00:38:36,040 --> 00:38:39,279
Speaker 2: they fight on their backs. They went on their back,

702
00:38:40,400 --> 00:38:43,040
Speaker 2: and you don't have to dump that. You know, they

703
00:38:43,120 --> 00:38:46,279
Speaker 2: fight on their backs and they're pretty dang good at it. Yeah,

704
00:38:46,840 --> 00:38:49,560
Speaker 2: some people are so some people aren't they.

705

00:40:35,239 --> 00:40:36,040
Speaker 1: Is that getting away?

Speaker 2: Oh?

748
00:40:45,800 --> 00:40:47,560
Speaker 3: Okay for a little bit, not long.

749
00:40:47,719 --> 00:40:48,680
Speaker 4: That's what I'm talking about.

750
00:40:48,760 --> 00:40:48,960
Speaker 3: Work.

751
00:40:50,600 --> 00:40:54,480
Speaker 1: Your big takeaway from the classic we saw last night

752
00:40:54,680 --> 00:40:55,680
Speaker 1: between the Bears and the.

753
00:40:56,239 --> 00:40:56,880
Speaker 4: Niners was what.

754
00:40:59,560 --> 00:41:04,160
Speaker 3: To be coaching the year? It's incredible. Think about who

755
00:41:04,239 --> 00:41:08,040
Speaker 3: wasn't playing last night? They have five Okay, Party is

756
00:41:08,080 --> 00:41:10,360
Speaker 3: not a star of stars. There's a really good quarterback.

757
00:41:10,400 --> 00:41:13,239
Speaker 3: But if you take their stars off that team, five

758
00:41:13,360 --> 00:41:17,000
Speaker 3: top players off that team, Krent Williams has won, George

759
00:41:17,080 --> 00:41:20,759
Speaker 3: Kittle's won, Christian McCaffrey, Fred Warner, and Nick Bosa, and

760
00:41:20,880 --> 00:41:22,680
Speaker 3: how many of them were in the lineup last night?

761
00:41:22,920 --> 00:41:26,520
Speaker 3: One Trent Williams went out one. I mean, it's incredible.

762
00:41:26,840 --> 00:41:29,239
Speaker 3: It's absolutely incredible what they've done with that team. And

763
00:41:29,760 --> 00:41:33,799
Speaker 3: and if they win, uh this week against Seattle, which

764
00:41:33,880 --> 00:41:36,359
Speaker 3: we know Sam Darnold's on the road, and I don't

765
00:41:36,360 --> 00:41:38,360
Speaker 3: care how bad San francis because defenses, they're going to

766
00:41:38,400 --> 00:41:42,240
Speaker 3: win that game. Then they win two games in the playoffs,

767
00:41:42,320 --> 00:41:44,480
Speaker 3: and they played the super Bowl at home, which is

768
00:41:44,520 --> 00:41:47,720
Speaker 3: absolutely incredible. Now having said that their defense is awful,

769
00:41:48,120 --> 00:41:51,239
Speaker 3: but but I do think that they get Party in

770
00:41:51,320 --> 00:41:53,040
Speaker 3: that group gives them a legitimate chance to be a

771
00:41:53,080 --> 00:41:54,759
Speaker 3: threat in the postseason, no question about it.

772
00:41:55,480 --> 00:41:59,919
Speaker 2: I gotta say, listen, there's there's no real door priz

773
00:42:00,400 --> 00:42:05,600
Speaker 2: or or feel good loss, but this this this Chicago

774
00:42:05,680 --> 00:42:08,239
Speaker 2: Bears team is for real. I mean, could you have

775
00:42:08,360 --> 00:42:13,200
Speaker 2: come away from that game last last evening, feeling just

776
00:42:13,320 --> 00:42:16,920
Speaker 2: as confident about the Bears and a loss as you

777
00:42:17,080 --> 00:42:19,600
Speaker 2: do about maybe the Niners in that win.

778
00:42:20,719 --> 00:42:22,279
Speaker 3: Well, I think both their defenses are bad.

779
00:42:23,280 --> 00:42:25,919
Speaker 1: I mean, you know who run, Yeah, they can't rush

780
00:42:25,960 --> 00:42:27,760
Speaker 1: the passer, and neither one can get to the quarterback,

781
00:42:27,800 --> 00:42:28,800
Speaker 1: can rush the quarterback.

782
00:42:28,840 --> 00:42:30,359
Speaker 3: And when you play in the playoffs and you can't

783
00:42:30,400 --> 00:42:32,160
Speaker 3: rush the quarterback, that's going to be a problem. So

784
00:42:33,000 --> 00:42:36,120
Speaker 3: and let's not forget they're an on site kick, boxed

785
00:42:36,200 --> 00:42:38,279
Speaker 3: on side kick away from losing that game to Green

786
00:42:38,360 --> 00:42:41,640
Speaker 3: Bay last week, and so we would be thinking differently

787
00:42:41,760 --> 00:42:43,520
Speaker 3: of them. But I'm more going Look, I think Caleb

788
00:42:43,560 --> 00:42:45,520
Speaker 3: Williams is taking big strikes. I think Ben Johnson is

789
00:42:45,560 --> 00:42:47,400
Speaker 3: a big, big time play caller. I think they can

790
00:42:47,520 --> 00:42:49,959
Speaker 3: run the ball. The line's good, They're going to score

791
00:42:50,000 --> 00:42:52,640
Speaker 3: points on offense. But I'm worried about that defense. I mean,

792
00:42:52,719 --> 00:42:55,840
Speaker 3: they're when you can't rush the passer and most quarterbacks

793
00:42:55,880 --> 00:42:58,440
Speaker 3: had all day, I think that's a big problem for

794
00:42:58,520 --> 00:42:59,560
Speaker 3: both teams going forward.

795
00:42:59,600 --> 00:43:01,880
Speaker 2: Which you rather have though, Pete, would you rather have

796
00:43:02,160 --> 00:43:04,080
Speaker 2: offense or would you have defense? Because it seems like

797
00:43:04,200 --> 00:43:05,880
Speaker 2: you got to make a choice these days. I mean,

798
00:43:05,960 --> 00:43:06,920
Speaker 2: you look at the Eagles.

799
00:43:07,320 --> 00:43:08,080
Speaker 4: You got to choose.

800
00:43:08,480 --> 00:43:09,880
Speaker 2: Do you do you want a team that has a

801
00:43:09,960 --> 00:43:12,040
Speaker 2: defense that's going to make it make it work? Or

802
00:43:12,080 --> 00:43:14,000
Speaker 2: do you want to have a team like the Niners

803
00:43:14,160 --> 00:43:17,279
Speaker 2: or the Bears that have a offense that can make

804
00:43:17,360 --> 00:43:17,600
Speaker 2: it work.

805
00:43:17,640 --> 00:43:19,120
Speaker 4: Which one? Which one would be better?

806
00:43:19,920 --> 00:43:22,279
Speaker 3: I'd rather be the Eagles because I think that there's

807
00:43:22,320 --> 00:43:24,439
Speaker 3: always a chance that Barkley's going to get it going,

808
00:43:24,840 --> 00:43:26,960
Speaker 3: you know what I mean. And that defense is suffocating,

809
00:43:27,000 --> 00:43:28,960
Speaker 3: and I think that Barkley can We've seen him do it,

810
00:43:29,080 --> 00:43:30,320
Speaker 3: so I think they can get a god. I just

811
00:43:30,360 --> 00:43:32,839
Speaker 3: think the play calling is bad for them, and Jalen

812
00:43:32,920 --> 00:43:35,680
Speaker 3: Hurts is not play very well. But I'd rather be

813
00:43:35,800 --> 00:43:38,000
Speaker 3: the Eagles. I think you have to be able to

814
00:43:38,040 --> 00:43:41,520
Speaker 3: knock the other guy's quarterback down. It's disaster, and I

815
00:43:41,560 --> 00:43:43,280
Speaker 3: don't see that for either one of those two teams.

816
00:43:44,120 --> 00:43:46,680
Speaker 1: Pete Prisco joining us here on Fox Sports Radio, senior

817
00:43:46,800 --> 00:43:50,080
Speaker 1: NFL columns for CBS Sports, CBS Sports HQ analysts. You

818
00:43:50,080 --> 00:43:52,359
Speaker 1: can get him on x at Prisco CBS. All right,

819
00:43:52,440 --> 00:43:54,200
Speaker 1: So I mentioned this earlier that I was going to

820
00:43:54,239 --> 00:43:57,040
Speaker 1: ask you about it, because back in August, when you

821
00:43:57,120 --> 00:44:00,200
Speaker 1: were doing your training camp tour. Uh oh, you were

822
00:44:00,280 --> 00:44:04,560
Speaker 1: speaking glowingly about what you saw from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers,

823
00:44:05,239 --> 00:44:09,520
Speaker 1: And I don't know what transpired halfway through the season,

824
00:44:10,080 --> 00:44:12,719
Speaker 1: but they are a shell of themselves and they find

825
00:44:12,760 --> 00:44:15,480
Speaker 1: themselves still with an opportunity to win at home and

826
00:44:15,560 --> 00:44:18,040
Speaker 1: get into the playoffs and probably most likely be a

827
00:44:18,080 --> 00:44:20,719
Speaker 1: one and done. What the f is going on in

828
00:44:20,800 --> 00:44:22,719
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay with the Buccaneers.

829
00:44:23,160 --> 00:44:27,280
Speaker 3: Injuries, That team's been decimated. You know, they played yesterday

830
00:44:27,320 --> 00:44:29,920
Speaker 3: without their two starting guards and without Tristan Wurris on

831
00:44:29,960 --> 00:44:33,120
Speaker 3: the offensive line. And I don't care what Baker Mayfield says.

832
00:44:33,200 --> 00:44:37,319
Speaker 3: He's hurt, he's hurt. He got hurt, and it very

833
00:44:37,400 --> 00:44:39,160
Speaker 3: thinks he got hurt in the Rams game. I think

834
00:44:39,200 --> 00:44:41,000
Speaker 3: he got hurt in the forty nine Ers game. And

835
00:44:41,040 --> 00:44:43,400
Speaker 3: it's kind of played through it. He's not throwing the

836
00:44:43,480 --> 00:44:45,719
Speaker 3: ball close to what he was throwing at early in

837
00:44:45,760 --> 00:44:48,480
Speaker 3: the season. And now they have their weapons back. It's

838
00:44:48,520 --> 00:44:50,879
Speaker 3: been one of those years. They didn't have the offensive line. Early,

839
00:44:50,960 --> 00:44:53,640
Speaker 3: they had the wide receivers going in out of the lineup.

840
00:44:54,000 --> 00:44:56,000
Speaker 3: Now the wide receivers are all back, the offensive line

841
00:44:56,040 --> 00:44:57,880
Speaker 3: continues to be banged up. And you go to the

842
00:44:57,960 --> 00:44:59,480
Speaker 3: defensive side of the ball. You talk about a team

843
00:44:59,480 --> 00:45:02,160
Speaker 3: that doesn't rush, pass or that, well, that's them. They

844
00:45:02,200 --> 00:45:04,359
Speaker 3: went out and got Reddick, thinking that they who had

845
00:45:04,440 --> 00:45:06,360
Speaker 3: joined Diabbi to be able to rush the quarterback with

846
00:45:06,480 --> 00:45:10,080
Speaker 3: Kanty inside, Canty's not playing very isn't playing because he's

847
00:45:10,120 --> 00:45:12,160
Speaker 3: been hurt all year. The other guys aren't playing well.

848
00:45:12,239 --> 00:45:14,040
Speaker 3: The secondary has been giving up a bunch of bus

849
00:45:14,440 --> 00:45:17,080
Speaker 3: It's not a good look. And you know, and when

850
00:45:17,920 --> 00:45:20,920
Speaker 3: they can't score offensively, that's a problem because I don't

851
00:45:20,920 --> 00:45:23,920
Speaker 3: think they're very good defensively. Now, having said all that,

852
00:45:24,320 --> 00:45:26,680
Speaker 3: they're playing a quarterback or crow for fifty four yards

853
00:45:26,760 --> 00:45:31,200
Speaker 3: last this past week, fifty four for Ice Young, as

854
00:45:31,239 --> 00:45:35,120
Speaker 3: they started calling him in Carolina. He melted yesterday because

855
00:45:35,120 --> 00:45:37,560
Speaker 3: he was awful, and so I mean, yeah, did you

856
00:45:37,600 --> 00:45:39,480
Speaker 3: see that the teammates because he's been cool at the

857
00:45:39,600 --> 00:45:41,400
Speaker 3: end of games, he's won some games, so they started

858
00:45:41,440 --> 00:45:42,319
Speaker 3: calling him Ice Young.

859
00:45:43,520 --> 00:45:46,759
Speaker 1: Wait a second, have you identified the next quarterback on

860
00:45:46,840 --> 00:45:47,439
Speaker 1: your hit list?

861
00:45:47,840 --> 00:45:48,080
Speaker 3: Have you?

862
00:45:48,400 --> 00:45:50,160
Speaker 1: Says Bryce Young? Now, the guy you're going to.

863
00:45:50,160 --> 00:45:52,960
Speaker 3: Go after he's been on he's been on my list.

864
00:45:53,120 --> 00:45:54,160
Speaker 3: I don't think he's very good.

865
00:45:54,760 --> 00:45:56,719
Speaker 2: I mean, you guys are the same size. I would

866
00:45:56,760 --> 00:45:59,520
Speaker 2: think that should be like looking out for him, like.

867
00:46:00,000 --> 00:46:00,680
Speaker 4: Looking up for him.

868
00:46:01,400 --> 00:46:03,040
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, I'm in the same size and I'm not

869
00:46:03,080 --> 00:46:05,040
Speaker 3: playing quarterback in the NFL for a reason because I

870
00:46:05,080 --> 00:46:08,640
Speaker 3: am that size, right, I mean, I don't think he's

871
00:46:08,719 --> 00:46:12,400
Speaker 3: very good. And they have a tough situation now because

872
00:46:13,040 --> 00:46:13,799
Speaker 3: what do you do with them?

873
00:46:13,840 --> 00:46:16,560
Speaker 2: You're stronger, well, you're built stronger, like you could probably

874
00:46:16,600 --> 00:46:18,920
Speaker 2: lift more weights than him though probably.

875
00:46:19,080 --> 00:46:22,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, And so I just think that one of those

876
00:46:22,239 --> 00:46:24,000
Speaker 3: two teams is going into the playoffs. So if you're

877
00:46:24,000 --> 00:46:26,000
Speaker 3: at the NFC teams, you want to be the number five.

878
00:46:26,000 --> 00:46:28,920
Speaker 3: Wouldn't rather be number five, the number six or seven?

879
00:46:29,040 --> 00:46:31,000
Speaker 3: For sure? Right? You might might be number five than

880
00:46:31,360 --> 00:46:34,000
Speaker 3: than three because you could go play them. You go

881
00:46:34,120 --> 00:46:35,719
Speaker 3: play one of those two teams on the road and

882
00:46:35,800 --> 00:46:37,719
Speaker 3: I can't carry you know, like I know it's on

883
00:46:37,800 --> 00:46:39,879
Speaker 3: the road. But you would think that that's a good

884
00:46:40,000 --> 00:46:41,799
Speaker 3: pass for you to try and get to the next round.

885
00:46:41,840 --> 00:46:43,840
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, totally agree.

886
00:46:44,080 --> 00:46:47,200
Speaker 2: Speaking of trying to get to the round, the first pick,

887
00:46:47,840 --> 00:46:51,480
Speaker 2: your your raiders did what everybody thought that they would do,

888
00:46:51,640 --> 00:46:55,320
Speaker 2: but even in more impressive fashion than the Maybe what

889
00:46:55,480 --> 00:46:57,880
Speaker 2: I had originally thought I didn't think that they'd be

890
00:46:57,920 --> 00:47:00,960
Speaker 2: able to lose that badly to a team like the

891
00:47:01,080 --> 00:47:05,360
Speaker 2: New York Giants, but they did. What what's your Is

892
00:47:05,400 --> 00:47:07,320
Speaker 2: it a rap? Is it a rap for Pete Carroll?

893
00:47:07,400 --> 00:47:09,279
Speaker 2: Is it a rap for this this coaching staff? Is

894
00:47:09,320 --> 00:47:10,319
Speaker 2: it another one and done?

895
00:47:11,400 --> 00:47:13,560
Speaker 3: I don't know if it is for Pete Carroll, in

896
00:47:13,680 --> 00:47:16,440
Speaker 3: large part because I don't know if they can continue

897
00:47:16,480 --> 00:47:19,200
Speaker 3: to pay head coaches. I think the Gruden thing's still

898
00:47:19,200 --> 00:47:22,560
Speaker 3: in litigation for money they're paying him, They're still paying

899
00:47:22,640 --> 00:47:26,000
Speaker 3: what McDaniels, they're still paying Peers, they're paying they were

900
00:47:26,040 --> 00:47:28,680
Speaker 3: paying Chip Kelly six million a year. They're still paying

901
00:47:28,719 --> 00:47:31,200
Speaker 3: that contract out How much can you keep letting go

902
00:47:31,280 --> 00:47:33,920
Speaker 3: out the door? And so I don't know if they

903
00:47:34,000 --> 00:47:37,319
Speaker 3: fire them. But they're awful and that was a tank job.

904
00:47:37,480 --> 00:47:40,000
Speaker 3: I don't care what anybody they can they can. I mean,

905
00:47:40,400 --> 00:47:43,759
Speaker 3: the thing they did with with Crosby was terrible and

906
00:47:44,239 --> 00:47:47,560
Speaker 3: they just looked lifeless. But the problem with that team

907
00:47:47,719 --> 00:47:53,120
Speaker 3: is they overvalued Gino Smith, which everybody in the league

908
00:47:53,160 --> 00:47:56,399
Speaker 3: did last year. And you know, remember when the Raiders signed,

909
00:47:56,400 --> 00:47:58,880
Speaker 3: oh great signing Gino Smith. Look what he did well?

910
00:47:58,920 --> 00:48:01,080
Speaker 3: Do you think Seattle didn't know something when they let

911
00:48:01,160 --> 00:48:03,920
Speaker 3: him go? And so I think that's their problem. And

912
00:48:04,000 --> 00:48:05,719
Speaker 3: now they're in the number one pick spot and they

913
00:48:05,719 --> 00:48:07,799
Speaker 3: should stay there because they probably won't win next week.

914
00:48:08,160 --> 00:48:10,720
Speaker 3: And if they're there, what do you do you stante

915
00:48:10,840 --> 00:48:13,440
Speaker 3: more Fernando Mendozer. In the battle for the number one pick,

916
00:48:13,520 --> 00:48:15,440
Speaker 3: one of those guys has to be the pick of

917
00:48:15,719 --> 00:48:18,759
Speaker 3: the Raiders, and the Giants messed up by winning. They

918
00:48:18,800 --> 00:48:20,359
Speaker 3: could have had the number one overall pick, and if

919
00:48:20,360 --> 00:48:22,960
Speaker 3: they had the number one overall pick, if they truly

920
00:48:23,000 --> 00:48:25,480
Speaker 3: believe Jackson Darter is their guy, then they could have

921
00:48:25,640 --> 00:48:27,960
Speaker 3: used that to trade and get a haul picks. And

922
00:48:28,080 --> 00:48:30,200
Speaker 3: yet they went out and won the game. So you win,

923
00:48:30,600 --> 00:48:32,320
Speaker 3: but you lose for winning in that situation.

924
00:48:32,560 --> 00:48:37,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, the Max Crosby story is just it's wild how

925
00:48:37,360 --> 00:48:41,200
Speaker 1: obvious it is. They Pete Carroll comes out and says, well,

926
00:48:41,239 --> 00:48:42,600
Speaker 1: you know, we took a look at him. He was

927
00:48:42,640 --> 00:48:45,120
Speaker 1: hobbling to get on the team bus and we're looking

928
00:48:45,160 --> 00:48:47,359
Speaker 1: at him, and you know, we just made the right

929
00:48:47,480 --> 00:48:50,600
Speaker 1: call to send him home or to say he's not

930
00:48:50,680 --> 00:48:53,560
Speaker 1: going to play. He leaves the facility because he's pissed

931
00:48:53,600 --> 00:48:56,560
Speaker 1: off and then Max Crosby posts to social media later

932
00:48:56,640 --> 00:49:00,319
Speaker 1: on that day him moving around fine, playing basket ball,

933
00:49:00,480 --> 00:49:03,480
Speaker 1: hanging out with his daughter like everything, like to let

934
00:49:03,520 --> 00:49:06,520
Speaker 1: everybody know, Hey, this is a tank job. I want

935
00:49:06,560 --> 00:49:08,640
Speaker 1: to play and they're not letting me play, Like, I

936
00:49:08,719 --> 00:49:12,040
Speaker 1: don't know. Do you think does the NFL look into

937
00:49:12,160 --> 00:49:15,160
Speaker 1: this if the Raiders aren't being forthright about his injury

938
00:49:15,840 --> 00:49:18,880
Speaker 1: and he's at home basically saying, look, I'm fine, but

939
00:49:18,960 --> 00:49:20,839
Speaker 1: they won't let me play because we're trying to tank

940
00:49:20,920 --> 00:49:22,320
Speaker 1: so we can get the first pick, Like, do you

941
00:49:22,400 --> 00:49:24,440
Speaker 1: think the NFL looks into this? Because you know the

942
00:49:24,560 --> 00:49:26,960
Speaker 1: NBA's had problems with this, but it feels as blatant

943
00:49:26,960 --> 00:49:28,879
Speaker 1: as you can get with the Raiders and how they've

944
00:49:28,880 --> 00:49:29,279
Speaker 1: handled it.

945
00:49:30,000 --> 00:49:32,400
Speaker 3: Well, the problem with looking into it is he probably

946
00:49:32,480 --> 00:49:35,320
Speaker 3: has played the last five game, six games with a

947
00:49:35,400 --> 00:49:38,680
Speaker 3: knee injury, and he probably does need some kind of

948
00:49:38,760 --> 00:49:41,239
Speaker 3: procedure on the knee so they can get around it

949
00:49:41,320 --> 00:49:44,359
Speaker 3: that way. The problem is, did you put the tape

950
00:49:44,400 --> 00:49:46,759
Speaker 3: on last week when he did play? I mean, he

951
00:49:46,920 --> 00:49:50,880
Speaker 3: was a monster against the Texans. He was unblockable, and

952
00:49:51,040 --> 00:49:53,880
Speaker 3: so how can they justify it that way? So I

953
00:49:54,040 --> 00:49:56,360
Speaker 3: get it, but the reality is is it probably not

954
00:49:56,440 --> 00:49:58,640
Speaker 3: going to get much of anything coming back on him

955
00:49:58,680 --> 00:50:01,920
Speaker 3: in March, part because he probably does need some kind

956
00:50:01,920 --> 00:50:04,360
Speaker 3: of procedure done on his leg. So the reality is

957
00:50:04,400 --> 00:50:06,920
Speaker 3: he's hurt. He could have played through it, and they packed,

958
00:50:07,080 --> 00:50:09,280
Speaker 3: even if they would never admit it crazy.

959
00:50:09,360 --> 00:50:14,680
Speaker 2: We've had a long conversation about the Stillers and the Ravens.

960
00:50:15,360 --> 00:50:17,960
Speaker 2: It's clearly going to be a big topic this week

961
00:50:18,080 --> 00:50:21,800
Speaker 2: because they're going for the divisional title against one another,

962
00:50:22,400 --> 00:50:26,080
Speaker 2: yet the loser will not be in the playoffs. They'll

963
00:50:26,120 --> 00:50:30,720
Speaker 2: go home, and for I guess what it's worth, whichever

964
00:50:30,840 --> 00:50:35,439
Speaker 2: team loses that it's got to be considered a hard

965
00:50:35,560 --> 00:50:39,680
Speaker 2: disappointing year for that team. And then I think the

966
00:50:39,840 --> 00:50:44,320
Speaker 2: question still remains, is it still considered the same for

967
00:50:44,480 --> 00:50:48,840
Speaker 2: the team that advances if they're not successful in the playoffs.

968
00:50:49,320 --> 00:50:51,879
Speaker 2: What's your take on the current You know, I guess

969
00:50:51,920 --> 00:50:54,879
Speaker 2: state of the Steelers and the Ravens because I feel

970
00:50:54,960 --> 00:50:59,040
Speaker 2: like they're very interchangeable conversations with the season, the team

971
00:50:59,600 --> 00:51:01,440
Speaker 2: as well as the coaches.

972
00:51:02,880 --> 00:51:05,879
Speaker 3: You know, about ten weeks ago when these two teams

973
00:51:05,920 --> 00:51:08,319
Speaker 3: were meriandering through the season, and you think one would

974
00:51:08,360 --> 00:51:09,960
Speaker 3: get hot and the other one was done and the

975
00:51:10,040 --> 00:51:12,359
Speaker 3: other one would get hot. You know, ten weeks ago,

976
00:51:12,520 --> 00:51:15,400
Speaker 3: maybe even longer, we said, ah, that division's going to

977
00:51:15,440 --> 00:51:16,920
Speaker 3: come down to the final week of the season when

978
00:51:16,960 --> 00:51:19,040
Speaker 3: the Steelers play the Ravens and you looked at and

979
00:51:19,120 --> 00:51:21,279
Speaker 3: people say, what are you talking about? Well, it always does,

980
00:51:22,200 --> 00:51:25,240
Speaker 3: and you know what it will in large part because

981
00:51:25,280 --> 00:51:27,560
Speaker 3: neither one of them are very good. I mean, if

982
00:51:27,600 --> 00:51:30,920
Speaker 3: you look at it, the Steelers without dk Metcalf yesterday

983
00:51:31,000 --> 00:51:34,839
Speaker 3: couldn't do anything. And you look at the Ravens. They

984
00:51:35,000 --> 00:51:37,040
Speaker 3: ran the ball and ran it right down Green Bay's

985
00:51:37,160 --> 00:51:41,520
Speaker 3: throat the other day, but their defense is awful right now,

986
00:51:41,640 --> 00:51:43,680
Speaker 3: and so you look at it and you go, who's

987
00:51:43,719 --> 00:51:47,560
Speaker 3: the better team? I'd say the Ravens would be the

988
00:51:47,640 --> 00:51:49,560
Speaker 3: one that could get fired in the playoffs if Lamar

989
00:51:49,680 --> 00:51:51,759
Speaker 3: Jackson is healthy and can turn and he gives the

990
00:51:51,800 --> 00:51:54,759
Speaker 3: ball to Henry. But the reality is they're like the

991
00:51:54,920 --> 00:51:58,560
Speaker 3: NFC teams. Is anybody not jockeying to be the number

992
00:51:58,600 --> 00:52:00,279
Speaker 3: five team and go play one of those too? With

993
00:52:00,320 --> 00:52:03,520
Speaker 3: the playoffs? I mean I'd rather play them for sure.

994
00:52:03,800 --> 00:52:06,520
Speaker 3: So and the other part of that is is Lamar

995
00:52:06,640 --> 00:52:09,320
Speaker 3: Jackson playing this week. You know, I had the back injury.

996
00:52:09,400 --> 00:52:12,400
Speaker 3: What was it back bruise? You missed the game for

997
00:52:12,480 --> 00:52:15,880
Speaker 3: a back bruise, And so that you're starting to hear

998
00:52:15,960 --> 00:52:18,960
Speaker 3: rumblings out of Baltimore. There was a story last week

999
00:52:19,000 --> 00:52:21,560
Speaker 3: by Mike Preston about how they're tiring of him not

1000
00:52:21,719 --> 00:52:24,160
Speaker 3: training at the facility and he needs to take better

1001
00:52:24,239 --> 00:52:27,040
Speaker 3: care of himself. And so I think there's a lot

1002
00:52:27,120 --> 00:52:29,959
Speaker 3: of stuff at stake in this game. Is it Aaron

1003
00:52:30,040 --> 00:52:33,040
Speaker 3: Rodgers last game? It has everything the NFL wants. We

1004
00:52:33,120 --> 00:52:35,520
Speaker 3: were joking around watching the game yesterday, the Steelers game,

1005
00:52:35,600 --> 00:52:37,920
Speaker 3: saying well, if the NFL can do anything in their

1006
00:52:37,960 --> 00:52:39,959
Speaker 3: power to make them lose that game, they would because

1007
00:52:39,960 --> 00:52:42,120
Speaker 3: they want that game at prime time. That's what they wanted.

1008
00:52:42,160 --> 00:52:44,440
Speaker 3: They wanted Marque game and one now they got one.

1009
00:52:44,520 --> 00:52:46,360
Speaker 3: So I'm looking forward to it. It's going to be

1010
00:52:46,520 --> 00:52:49,040
Speaker 3: ugly football, and I don't think the team that wins

1011
00:52:49,120 --> 00:52:51,880
Speaker 3: it really can go on a run. But if you

1012
00:52:52,040 --> 00:52:54,239
Speaker 3: had to ask me which one could possibly go on

1013
00:52:54,239 --> 00:52:55,759
Speaker 3: a run to the two of them, I would pick

1014
00:52:55,800 --> 00:52:57,000
Speaker 3: the Ravens. Yeah.

1015
00:52:57,320 --> 00:52:59,320
Speaker 1: Pete Prisco with us year on Fox Sports Rady for

1016
00:52:59,360 --> 00:53:00,920
Speaker 1: those that aren't for million and we talked about this

1017
00:53:00,960 --> 00:53:02,680
Speaker 1: a little bit earlier, but if you're just joining us,

1018
00:53:03,000 --> 00:53:05,120
Speaker 1: it was Mike Preston of The Baltimore Son who wrote

1019
00:53:05,120 --> 00:53:08,839
Speaker 1: an article talking about Lamar Jackson, you know, sources saying,

1020
00:53:09,200 --> 00:53:12,800
Speaker 1: you know, he stays up late playing video games and

1021
00:53:12,920 --> 00:53:16,279
Speaker 1: falls asleep during team meetings, and you know he's not.

1022
00:53:16,920 --> 00:53:20,320
Speaker 1: You know, they've changed the practice times and John Harborough's

1023
00:53:20,400 --> 00:53:22,359
Speaker 1: kind of growing tired of it and it's worn out,

1024
00:53:22,400 --> 00:53:25,040
Speaker 1: it's welcome a little bit like that just feels like

1025
00:53:25,120 --> 00:53:27,239
Speaker 1: and I was saying this earlier, Pete, that feels like

1026
00:53:27,360 --> 00:53:29,480
Speaker 1: it's a little bit too specific for it to just

1027
00:53:29,560 --> 00:53:31,680
Speaker 1: be nothing, that it just was made up at of

1028
00:53:31,719 --> 00:53:34,239
Speaker 1: thin air. And from what I've heard, you know, Mike

1029
00:53:34,280 --> 00:53:39,000
Speaker 1: Preston's pretty connected, and it's not He's not just making

1030
00:53:39,120 --> 00:53:41,960
Speaker 1: stuff up, even though John Harbord dismisses it. Where does

1031
00:53:42,480 --> 00:53:46,120
Speaker 1: that report and those details land with you as somebody

1032
00:53:46,120 --> 00:53:47,560
Speaker 1: who's been in this business a long time.

1033
00:53:48,200 --> 00:53:51,359
Speaker 3: Oh, I've known Mike Preston a long time a long time,

1034
00:53:51,600 --> 00:53:54,319
Speaker 3: and Mike Press is not going to just make that up.

1035
00:53:54,760 --> 00:53:57,440
Speaker 3: That's not what he is as a journalist. So he

1036
00:53:57,560 --> 00:54:00,720
Speaker 3: got that from people inside the building, and it obviously

1037
00:54:00,960 --> 00:54:04,200
Speaker 3: is an issue. Look, you know Lamar Jackson throws it

1038
00:54:04,400 --> 00:54:06,200
Speaker 3: in the off season. He comes down to South Florida,

1039
00:54:06,239 --> 00:54:08,520
Speaker 3: down here and throws at parks with his buddies and stuff.

1040
00:54:08,600 --> 00:54:10,320
Speaker 3: You can't you got to be around a facility. You

1041
00:54:10,320 --> 00:54:13,759
Speaker 3: got to take care of yourself. And and so that's

1042
00:54:13,840 --> 00:54:16,239
Speaker 3: that's something I've never quite grasped. And you know, I

1043
00:54:16,360 --> 00:54:19,320
Speaker 3: was talking to Fred. One of the guys told me

1044
00:54:19,360 --> 00:54:22,839
Speaker 3: Fred Warner of the forty nine ers trains year round

1045
00:54:23,040 --> 00:54:25,560
Speaker 3: at the facility. You know, he doesn't go These guys

1046
00:54:25,640 --> 00:54:27,839
Speaker 3: go to these facilities and LaVar you know all about them.

1047
00:54:27,880 --> 00:54:29,960
Speaker 3: They pay big money to go train at the you know,

1048
00:54:30,080 --> 00:54:32,480
Speaker 3: these facilities in South Florida, and they get together and

1049
00:54:32,560 --> 00:54:35,680
Speaker 3: work out down there. When you can stay with your team,

1050
00:54:36,239 --> 00:54:40,080
Speaker 3: train with your own trainers, take advantage of your your

1051
00:54:40,400 --> 00:54:43,719
Speaker 3: free food and free you know, nutrition, and deal with

1052
00:54:43,800 --> 00:54:46,799
Speaker 3: your nutritionists. Why would you not do that if you're

1053
00:54:47,000 --> 00:54:50,560
Speaker 3: if you're like Fred Warner, goes, drives to the facility

1054
00:54:50,600 --> 00:54:54,160
Speaker 3: every day, works out there, gets some advice from the trainers,

1055
00:54:54,239 --> 00:54:55,919
Speaker 3: knows what he has to do to train for his job,

1056
00:54:56,600 --> 00:54:59,919
Speaker 3: and you know, eat all their food. And these guys

1057
00:55:00,160 --> 00:55:02,399
Speaker 3: leave and go scurry all over the country and pay

1058
00:55:02,440 --> 00:55:04,960
Speaker 3: big money to go train with trainers who have no

1059
00:55:05,080 --> 00:55:08,080
Speaker 3: idea what it's like to train for football. So I

1060
00:55:08,120 --> 00:55:10,560
Speaker 3: don't know. I just think sometimes we overthink it and

1061
00:55:10,680 --> 00:55:13,000
Speaker 3: Lamar Jackson needs to be more focused and stay around

1062
00:55:13,040 --> 00:55:14,000
Speaker 3: that facility.

1063
00:55:13,680 --> 00:55:16,880
Speaker 4: Moore, has he done like, has he hit his ceiling?

1064
00:55:17,920 --> 00:55:20,680
Speaker 2: Of all the quarterbacks around the league that you would say,

1065
00:55:21,200 --> 00:55:24,359
Speaker 2: you know what, they had a good run, but maybe

1066
00:55:24,360 --> 00:55:27,800
Speaker 2: they hit their ceiling, where does where does Lamar Jackson

1067
00:55:28,000 --> 00:55:29,280
Speaker 2: fall in that category?

1068
00:55:29,800 --> 00:55:33,680
Speaker 3: Well? His is different in large part because he's improved

1069
00:55:33,680 --> 00:55:36,160
Speaker 3: as a passer, But we still got to admit the

1070
00:55:36,200 --> 00:55:37,880
Speaker 3: big part of what he is is his ability to

1071
00:55:37,960 --> 00:55:41,120
Speaker 3: move around, and it's the threat of him to run

1072
00:55:41,520 --> 00:55:43,719
Speaker 3: and the threat of him to help open up the run.

1073
00:55:44,200 --> 00:55:46,720
Speaker 3: And so far since he's been back from his injuries,

1074
00:55:47,080 --> 00:55:48,640
Speaker 3: he hasn't been able to run like he did. He

1075
00:55:48,719 --> 00:55:51,359
Speaker 3: hasn't been he's been reluctant, his speeds have been down.

1076
00:55:51,840 --> 00:55:53,719
Speaker 3: And so when you take that away from him, what

1077
00:55:53,960 --> 00:55:56,560
Speaker 3: is he as a quarterback? He's a small guy that

1078
00:55:56,640 --> 00:55:58,879
Speaker 3: can make plays in the pocket and he's gotten better

1079
00:55:58,920 --> 00:56:01,600
Speaker 3: at it, but he's not great at it unless he's

1080
00:56:01,640 --> 00:56:04,200
Speaker 3: got the threat to run. And so that's the concern

1081
00:56:04,280 --> 00:56:08,480
Speaker 3: with Lamar Jackson. If I were him, I would reinvent

1082
00:56:08,600 --> 00:56:12,560
Speaker 3: myself and become a fitness guy who you know is

1083
00:56:12,640 --> 00:56:15,920
Speaker 3: focused on the football and not playing video games, if

1084
00:56:15,960 --> 00:56:18,719
Speaker 3: that's indeed true, and and take care of yourself is

1085
00:56:18,760 --> 00:56:21,279
Speaker 3: stay around the facility and be more more present with

1086
00:56:21,440 --> 00:56:23,680
Speaker 3: your teammates in the off season and go from there,

1087
00:56:23,719 --> 00:56:26,720
Speaker 3: because right now the injuries have become a major factor

1088
00:56:26,760 --> 00:56:28,680
Speaker 3: for him. He's not a big guy. Let's not forget that.

1089
00:56:28,800 --> 00:56:29,680
Speaker 3: He's not a big guy.

1090
00:56:29,840 --> 00:56:32,120
Speaker 1: And also, like it seems like he's got the flu

1091
00:56:32,239 --> 00:56:35,040
Speaker 1: every week, like he like there's a practice he's he's

1092
00:56:35,080 --> 00:56:36,640
Speaker 1: got the flu, like it. I think he's in this

1093
00:56:36,800 --> 00:56:40,359
Speaker 1: like seven straight Wednesday practices at this point. It just yeah,

1094
00:56:40,360 --> 00:56:42,320
Speaker 1: it just feels like there's a there's a lot going on.

1095
00:56:42,400 --> 00:56:44,040
Speaker 3: Well, if you have if you're if you're if you're

1096
00:56:44,080 --> 00:56:46,160
Speaker 3: saying you have the flu and you don't sleep all

1097
00:56:46,239 --> 00:56:48,200
Speaker 3: night because you're up playing video games, isn't that right?

1098
00:56:48,320 --> 00:56:48,800
Speaker 3: Yuh for you?

1099
00:56:49,000 --> 00:56:49,160
Speaker 4: Yeah?

1100
00:56:49,200 --> 00:56:51,600
Speaker 1: That's yes, that Yeah, that's what you know. Who needs

1101
00:56:51,680 --> 00:56:53,960
Speaker 1: chicken noodle soup when you can just play you know,

1102
00:56:54,080 --> 00:56:55,560
Speaker 1: call of duty until for that.

1103
00:56:55,760 --> 00:56:58,000
Speaker 3: And we don't I mean, look, I might press him

1104
00:56:58,000 --> 00:56:59,880
Speaker 3: a damn good reporter, so I kind of, you know,

1105
00:57:00,120 --> 00:57:02,680
Speaker 3: trust his sources on it. But if again, we don't

1106
00:57:02,719 --> 00:57:04,560
Speaker 3: know if that's true. But if it is, it's just

1107
00:57:04,600 --> 00:57:07,320
Speaker 3: a bad look for a franchise quarterback. It's just, you know,

1108
00:57:07,719 --> 00:57:10,880
Speaker 3: is it better than he's out, you know, getting bombed

1109
00:57:10,920 --> 00:57:13,680
Speaker 3: every night running the streets and getting in trouble. Absolutely,

1110
00:57:13,840 --> 00:57:16,280
Speaker 3: But the good side of this is if you're staying

1111
00:57:16,360 --> 00:57:18,720
Speaker 3: up all night, you're not getting asleep and your habits

1112
00:57:18,720 --> 00:57:20,880
Speaker 3: aren't great to come in and practice hard every day.

1113
00:57:21,400 --> 00:57:23,680
Speaker 1: Are the Bills a viable Super Bowl contender?

1114
00:57:24,960 --> 00:57:26,800
Speaker 3: Well? One good thing that came out of it, and

1115
00:57:26,880 --> 00:57:28,480
Speaker 3: I don't know how we take this. One good thing

1116
00:57:28,520 --> 00:57:30,080
Speaker 3: they came out of the game on Sunday is this

1117
00:57:30,760 --> 00:57:32,960
Speaker 3: they played good defense. But is that because they played

1118
00:57:32,960 --> 00:57:34,840
Speaker 3: good defense because the Eagles thing on offense or they

1119
00:57:34,840 --> 00:57:37,560
Speaker 3: actually showed up and played good defense. I mean, it's

1120
00:57:37,600 --> 00:57:40,880
Speaker 3: something something has to give there. But look, with Josh

1121
00:57:40,920 --> 00:57:43,560
Speaker 3: Allen playing quarterback, of course they're a viable Super Bowl

1122
00:57:43,640 --> 00:57:46,040
Speaker 3: contender and they can get hot in the moment, and

1123
00:57:46,120 --> 00:57:48,800
Speaker 3: if their defense can play like that, sure they are.

1124
00:57:49,280 --> 00:57:51,080
Speaker 3: Now I don't know if they can or is that

1125
00:57:51,240 --> 00:57:53,600
Speaker 3: just because the Eagles are so bad on offense right now.

1126
00:57:53,960 --> 00:57:56,360
Speaker 3: They did dominating. Do you realize the Eagles didn't have

1127
00:57:56,440 --> 00:58:00,760
Speaker 3: any yards passing in the second half, none, zero, not

1128
00:58:01,640 --> 00:58:05,200
Speaker 3: one completion. And I think that's the second game that's

1129
00:58:05,240 --> 00:58:09,160
Speaker 3: happened for them. And one of our guys had a

1130
00:58:09,160 --> 00:58:11,040
Speaker 3: stat last night. I said, this the first time since

1131
00:58:11,080 --> 00:58:13,600
Speaker 3: they started to keep in that stat in nineteen seventy

1132
00:58:13,600 --> 00:58:16,360
Speaker 3: eight that a guy hasn't had completed passes in two

1133
00:58:16,440 --> 00:58:19,240
Speaker 3: games in the same season in the second half. So

1134
00:58:20,240 --> 00:58:22,080
Speaker 3: you know, but the Bill defense did show up and

1135
00:58:22,120 --> 00:58:24,280
Speaker 3: play better, and I give them that. And if they

1136
00:58:24,320 --> 00:58:27,360
Speaker 3: can play good on defense, they're dangerous to everybody. We

1137
00:58:27,480 --> 00:58:29,400
Speaker 3: know Cook can run the ball. You know, Allen can

1138
00:58:29,480 --> 00:58:32,600
Speaker 3: make those plays down the field and outside the pocket.

1139
00:58:32,720 --> 00:58:35,280
Speaker 3: So I'd be careful of any team in the playoffs

1140
00:58:35,280 --> 00:58:39,360
Speaker 3: in the AFC they're saying, oh, Bills might be, you know, vulnerable,

1141
00:58:39,440 --> 00:58:41,640
Speaker 3: because I don't think you want to play them. In fact,

1142
00:58:42,000 --> 00:58:43,720
Speaker 3: of all the teams that you have a chance to

1143
00:58:43,760 --> 00:58:45,800
Speaker 3: sit at home and get ready to play, that's the

1144
00:58:45,880 --> 00:58:46,919
Speaker 3: one I wouldn't want to play.

1145
00:58:47,600 --> 00:58:50,000
Speaker 2: I know, before we let you go, I was done,

1146
00:58:50,080 --> 00:58:52,720
Speaker 2: but I just kind of thought about this. I never

1147
00:58:52,800 --> 00:58:56,800
Speaker 2: got your opinion on DK metcalfs. The dude came out

1148
00:58:57,400 --> 00:59:00,920
Speaker 2: and held a full out press conference about him not being.

1149
00:59:00,760 --> 00:59:03,240
Speaker 4: A racist or whatever.

1150
00:59:03,320 --> 00:59:07,320
Speaker 2: He's he's sensitive about animal rights and stuff like that

1151
00:59:07,520 --> 00:59:07,880
Speaker 2: or whatever.

1152
00:59:08,040 --> 00:59:10,880
Speaker 4: But what what's your take on on that?

1153
00:59:11,160 --> 00:59:14,440
Speaker 2: Like him saying his kids are getting you know, threats,

1154
00:59:14,800 --> 00:59:18,720
Speaker 2: you know, valent threats, you know, all kinds of different

1155
00:59:18,800 --> 00:59:22,640
Speaker 2: I guess fallout and repercussions from what took place. What

1156
00:59:22,840 --> 00:59:26,000
Speaker 2: what's your you know, what's your take on DK in

1157
00:59:26,120 --> 00:59:28,800
Speaker 2: this this scenario. What what's your take on the fan

1158
00:59:29,080 --> 00:59:30,800
Speaker 2: like the interaction of it all.

1159
00:59:31,080 --> 00:59:33,480
Speaker 3: The fans, the fans of jack ass. Okay, the fans,

1160
00:59:33,480 --> 00:59:35,160
Speaker 3: shut your shut your mouth. You were trying to get

1161
00:59:35,200 --> 00:59:36,680
Speaker 3: a rise out of him. You wanted that to happen.

1162
00:59:36,760 --> 00:59:38,360
Speaker 3: You wanted something to happen. And now you're going on

1163
00:59:38,440 --> 00:59:40,480
Speaker 3: a tour, the publicity tour. You're probably gonna file suit

1164
00:59:40,560 --> 00:59:42,720
Speaker 3: against them and then and go from there. So fans

1165
00:59:42,760 --> 00:59:45,040
Speaker 3: an idiot? Me Kay's more of an idiot for going

1166
00:59:45,080 --> 00:59:47,320
Speaker 3: over and doing what he did. I mean, look what

1167
00:59:47,440 --> 00:59:50,440
Speaker 3: happened to the Steelers yesterday. Technically you could sit here

1168
00:59:50,440 --> 00:59:52,920
Speaker 3: and say, if the Steelers don't beat the Ravens on Sunday,

1169
00:59:53,160 --> 00:59:56,240
Speaker 3: the dk metcalf stupidity cost him a playoff. Broth, Yeah,

1170
00:59:56,280 --> 00:59:58,840
Speaker 3: because they had they had They had three catches by

1171
00:59:58,880 --> 01:00:01,960
Speaker 3: Scotty Miller yesterday would led the team, and catches by

1172
01:00:02,040 --> 01:00:04,960
Speaker 3: receiver yesterday. They were limited on offense in large part

1173
01:00:05,000 --> 01:00:07,200
Speaker 3: because dk Metcalff is the guy to stretched the field

1174
01:00:07,200 --> 01:00:08,560
Speaker 3: and get the ball down the field. Well, where was

1175
01:00:08,640 --> 01:00:11,440
Speaker 3: he one playing? Because he was so caught up in

1176
01:00:11,480 --> 01:00:12,640
Speaker 3: the moment that he had to go over there and

1177
01:00:12,720 --> 01:00:14,680
Speaker 3: tug on a fan or slap him or whatever he

1178
01:00:14,760 --> 01:00:17,520
Speaker 3: did because the guy said something about him, and so

1179
01:00:17,920 --> 01:00:20,920
Speaker 3: dk Metcalff has to be smarter. But the fans of jackass,

1180
01:00:20,960 --> 01:00:22,200
Speaker 3: he knew what he was doing. He was trying to

1181
01:00:22,200 --> 01:00:24,800
Speaker 3: get a rise at him. He did it before, and

1182
01:00:24,920 --> 01:00:28,360
Speaker 3: so that's a guy's a just it's mild to think

1183
01:00:28,440 --> 01:00:31,160
Speaker 3: what he's doing right now because he's trying to take

1184
01:00:31,160 --> 01:00:33,400
Speaker 3: advantage of the situation. He knew what he was doing.

1185
01:00:33,640 --> 01:00:36,680
Speaker 3: It was all calculated. Chuck your mouth. Look, it's okay

1186
01:00:36,720 --> 01:00:38,560
Speaker 3: to heckle players. I've done that before.

1187
01:00:38,760 --> 01:00:39,160
Speaker 4: Believe me.

1188
01:00:39,240 --> 01:00:41,080
Speaker 3: Back in the day, I used to heckle like crazy.

1189
01:00:41,480 --> 01:00:44,160
Speaker 3: But don't get to the point where you're making it

1190
01:00:44,320 --> 01:00:46,280
Speaker 3: personal and the guy's going to come over and give

1191
01:00:46,280 --> 01:00:47,680
Speaker 3: you a slap. Now, we don't know what he said,

1192
01:00:48,320 --> 01:00:50,280
Speaker 3: and it doesn't sound like it was anything racial. You

1193
01:00:50,360 --> 01:00:53,080
Speaker 3: hope like it wasn't. But DK has to be above that.

1194
01:00:53,160 --> 01:00:55,120
Speaker 3: And LaVar, you played the game. I'm sure you're plenty

1195
01:00:55,160 --> 01:00:56,360
Speaker 3: of craft that you wanted to go up in the

1196
01:00:56,400 --> 01:00:58,000
Speaker 3: stands and beat the day like that of a guy.

1197
01:00:58,440 --> 01:01:01,320
Speaker 2: I've heard some really really really bad I told the

1198
01:01:01,360 --> 01:01:05,920
Speaker 2: story the other day Kansas City one year. It was

1199
01:01:06,720 --> 01:01:10,360
Speaker 2: it was really really bad, Like it was bad the

1200
01:01:10,480 --> 01:01:13,120
Speaker 2: things they were saying. To me, it's so bad that

1201
01:01:13,520 --> 01:01:16,800
Speaker 2: you almost would ask yourself the people in between or

1202
01:01:16,840 --> 01:01:20,760
Speaker 2: the people beside those people who were saying the viscenities

1203
01:01:20,840 --> 01:01:24,840
Speaker 2: that they were saying, why, Like why wasn't something done?

1204
01:01:25,440 --> 01:01:28,920
Speaker 1: That's how bad it was, Like, shut up.

1205
01:01:30,640 --> 01:01:31,120
Speaker 3: The problem.

1206
01:01:32,080 --> 01:01:34,120
Speaker 4: I turned around to look good, good.

1207
01:01:34,000 --> 01:01:36,840
Speaker 3: God, here's the problem, because if you start opening your mouth,

1208
01:01:36,920 --> 01:01:38,960
Speaker 3: next thing, you know, you're in a fight in the stands,

1209
01:01:38,960 --> 01:01:40,640
Speaker 3: and that I wants that, you know what I mean.

1210
01:01:40,800 --> 01:01:43,240
Speaker 2: I'm not letting nobody pull me out of my character

1211
01:01:43,360 --> 01:01:46,680
Speaker 2: that way. I'm there to perform. I realize it's a

1212
01:01:46,760 --> 01:01:49,840
Speaker 2: show and we are the actors in the show. I

1213
01:01:50,000 --> 01:01:54,000
Speaker 2: realized that, you know, it's reality television, but nonetheless, you

1214
01:01:54,080 --> 01:01:55,200
Speaker 2: play yourself in the show.

1215
01:01:55,240 --> 01:01:55,880
Speaker 1: So I get it.

1216
01:01:56,480 --> 01:02:02,200
Speaker 2: And I often wonder why why people are allowed to

1217
01:02:02,760 --> 01:02:05,600
Speaker 2: holler out certain obscenities the way that they are, Like

1218
01:02:06,120 --> 01:02:10,640
Speaker 2: I did get racial obscenities, hollered at me in that

1219
01:02:10,840 --> 01:02:15,000
Speaker 2: moment in particular, and a ton of profanity. But you know,

1220
01:02:15,040 --> 01:02:17,320
Speaker 2: I always said that where they're like, well, how'd you react?

1221
01:02:17,360 --> 01:02:19,200
Speaker 2: How'd you re act? Turned around at first and it

1222
01:02:19,360 --> 01:02:21,560
Speaker 2: was like come on, man, like it's it's a game,

1223
01:02:21,920 --> 01:02:26,200
Speaker 2: Like like are you okay? Then as they kept going on,

1224
01:02:26,720 --> 01:02:29,200
Speaker 2: I always I did this on the field with players

1225
01:02:29,200 --> 01:02:30,960
Speaker 2: who would try to get me, but I would do

1226
01:02:31,000 --> 01:02:32,880
Speaker 2: it with fans too. I'd always tell them their mother,

1227
01:02:33,440 --> 01:02:36,520
Speaker 2: like like, if you're calling me all those obscenities, I'd

1228
01:02:36,560 --> 01:02:38,680
Speaker 2: be like, ah, your mother is or oh your mother

1229
01:02:38,840 --> 01:02:41,560
Speaker 2: is that, or ah, ah you're talking about your mom

1230
01:02:41,760 --> 01:02:44,560
Speaker 2: Like I just always that was always my comeback, and

1231
01:02:44,840 --> 01:02:47,800
Speaker 2: and so I didn't take myself too seriously. So I

1232
01:02:47,920 --> 01:02:50,600
Speaker 2: make myself laugh by being like that probably hurt their

1233
01:02:50,640 --> 01:02:52,720
Speaker 2: feelings or something. Maybe their mom is there.

1234
01:02:53,520 --> 01:02:55,840
Speaker 3: You should have said, look, you should have said, look, dude,

1235
01:02:55,880 --> 01:02:58,880
Speaker 3: you're over there. I'm over here. But I guarantee if

1236
01:02:59,040 --> 01:03:00,600
Speaker 3: you were here and I was right in front of you,

1237
01:03:00,680 --> 01:03:02,000
Speaker 3: you would be saying that to my face.

1238
01:03:02,400 --> 01:03:05,320
Speaker 2: But I don't even I don't even you know, for me,

1239
01:03:05,480 --> 01:03:08,080
Speaker 2: I ain't even take it. It wasn't that he if

1240
01:03:08,120 --> 01:03:10,480
Speaker 2: he wants violence, it's never been that deep to me.

1241
01:03:10,800 --> 01:03:11,960
Speaker 2: That's that's the thing about it.

1242
01:03:12,080 --> 01:03:13,240
Speaker 1: Like he wants an altercation.

1243
01:03:13,520 --> 01:03:15,840
Speaker 3: It doesn't that I don't because you know why nowadays

1244
01:03:15,880 --> 01:03:18,280
Speaker 3: you have an altercation, somebody ends up there. You don't

1245
01:03:18,280 --> 01:03:20,080
Speaker 3: want any mean right?

1246
01:03:20,840 --> 01:03:21,320
Speaker 4: Doesn't that?

1247
01:03:21,600 --> 01:03:23,840
Speaker 1: But doesn't that concern you even more?

1248
01:03:23,960 --> 01:03:24,439
Speaker 4: With DK?

1249
01:03:24,720 --> 01:03:27,200
Speaker 2: Like you know, if you watch the video, he's standing

1250
01:03:27,240 --> 01:03:31,400
Speaker 2: there with a police officer. He's standing there talking to

1251
01:03:31,520 --> 01:03:34,880
Speaker 2: a police officer. He clearly says something that has to

1252
01:03:34,960 --> 01:03:39,960
Speaker 2: do with this fan because he he finishes the conversation

1253
01:03:40,120 --> 01:03:43,240
Speaker 2: and then works his way over to the fan. Once

1254
01:03:43,280 --> 01:03:44,920
Speaker 2: he works his way over to the fan, it's a

1255
01:03:45,000 --> 01:03:49,560
Speaker 2: totally it's a total violent like act. It's an aggressive act.

1256
01:03:49,640 --> 01:03:53,520
Speaker 2: Not that I won't say valent, it's a very aggressive act.

1257
01:03:53,720 --> 01:03:55,040
Speaker 4: And what it is that he needs.

1258
01:03:55,560 --> 01:03:57,200
Speaker 3: You don't even go over him. You gave him what

1259
01:03:57,360 --> 01:04:00,600
Speaker 3: he wanted by going over there first and foremost. I mean,

1260
01:04:01,040 --> 01:04:03,560
Speaker 3: whether he pulled his hair or hit him or whatever

1261
01:04:03,600 --> 01:04:06,080
Speaker 3: he did to him, you would that guy. I don't

1262
01:04:06,080 --> 01:04:08,520
Speaker 3: think that was the guy's seat either. If you look

1263
01:04:08,600 --> 01:04:11,640
Speaker 3: at it, he's down like where there's a security person

1264
01:04:11,760 --> 01:04:14,560
Speaker 3: behind him. He's standing hanging over the railing in the aisle.

1265
01:04:14,600 --> 01:04:16,000
Speaker 3: I don't think that's where he was sitting.

1266
01:04:16,600 --> 01:04:19,120
Speaker 2: And so no one reacted to what the guy said,

1267
01:04:19,280 --> 01:04:21,600
Speaker 2: So I don't think there was. He didn't say anything

1268
01:04:21,760 --> 01:04:22,520
Speaker 2: crazy out.

1269
01:04:22,400 --> 01:04:24,560
Speaker 3: His mouth because he said he was making fun of

1270
01:04:24,640 --> 01:04:28,240
Speaker 3: his real name, right, yeah, right, I'm not going like,

1271
01:04:28,320 --> 01:04:29,320
Speaker 3: why are you going to grab.

1272
01:04:29,240 --> 01:04:30,439
Speaker 4: Somebody by their hand.

1273
01:04:30,560 --> 01:04:33,920
Speaker 1: It's like you remember when when Miles Garrett clubbed Mason

1274
01:04:34,000 --> 01:04:36,600
Speaker 1: Rudolph over the head with the helmet and then afterwards said,

1275
01:04:36,640 --> 01:04:38,960
Speaker 1: well there's a racial slur, yelled and nobody heard it.

1276
01:04:39,120 --> 01:04:41,000
Speaker 1: Like there were people there and nobody heard it, Like

1277
01:04:41,400 --> 01:04:43,800
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't think he said but the guy,

1278
01:04:43,920 --> 01:04:45,840
Speaker 1: But that was still like there were people.

1279
01:04:48,320 --> 01:04:50,400
Speaker 3: My hecking back in the day was kind of fun,

1280
01:04:50,520 --> 01:04:52,280
Speaker 3: Like I remember one time we went to a baseball

1281
01:04:52,360 --> 01:04:55,160
Speaker 3: game here and we had a few afternoon in the

1282
01:04:55,240 --> 01:04:57,960
Speaker 3: spring training and the Braves were playing down in Fort

1283
01:04:58,040 --> 01:05:01,080
Speaker 3: Lauderdale and Ozzie Virgil was a player on the Braze

1284
01:05:01,120 --> 01:05:03,960
Speaker 3: back then, and he struck out and he was walking

1285
01:05:04,040 --> 01:05:07,320
Speaker 3: over and I'm like, hey, Azie, you know any realtors

1286
01:05:07,360 --> 01:05:09,480
Speaker 3: in Richmond, because that's where they're triple agents.

1287
01:05:10,480 --> 01:05:13,840
Speaker 1: That's rupete. Yes, I was trying to make the team

1288
01:05:14,000 --> 01:05:15,760
Speaker 1: got to you gotta clown them like that. You ought

1289
01:05:15,800 --> 01:05:18,200
Speaker 1: to be ashamed of yourself. Hey, let me ask you

1290
01:05:18,360 --> 01:05:20,480
Speaker 1: this before we let you go. We're going to be

1291
01:05:20,520 --> 01:05:23,840
Speaker 1: talking to you next Monday. It's Black Monday yearly tradition.

1292
01:05:24,040 --> 01:05:27,280
Speaker 1: That's not good news for coaches in the NFL. Do

1293
01:05:27,400 --> 01:05:31,480
Speaker 1: you have one or two potential surprising coaching casualties that

1294
01:05:31,520 --> 01:05:32,640
Speaker 1: could take place on Monday?

1295
01:05:33,280 --> 01:05:36,200
Speaker 3: I don't know if surprising surprising is the word, but

1296
01:05:36,720 --> 01:05:39,520
Speaker 3: you know what if the Bucks don't make the playoffs, Yeah,

1297
01:05:39,560 --> 01:05:41,800
Speaker 3: there's one. I mean, if they don't make the playoffs,

1298
01:05:41,800 --> 01:05:43,440
Speaker 3: I think Todd Bowles could be in trouble, even though

1299
01:05:43,480 --> 01:05:46,960
Speaker 3: he got a contract extension last year. And then you

1300
01:05:47,000 --> 01:05:49,480
Speaker 3: know what happens with Zach Taylor. I think that's another

1301
01:05:49,520 --> 01:05:51,560
Speaker 3: one to keep an eye on as well. You know,

1302
01:05:52,040 --> 01:05:53,720
Speaker 3: they keep saying that they're not going to fire him,

1303
01:05:53,760 --> 01:05:56,160
Speaker 3: but we'll see. Yeah, So I think those are two.

1304
01:05:56,720 --> 01:05:59,240
Speaker 3: You know what happens with McDaniel, they wanted to keep them,

1305
01:06:00,040 --> 01:06:02,000
Speaker 3: made a little run, went rotten for a couple of

1306
01:06:02,000 --> 01:06:05,440
Speaker 3: weeks anyone again, so I think ultimately they might decide

1307
01:06:05,480 --> 01:06:07,760
Speaker 3: to keep him. The bad news with that, though, they're

1308
01:06:07,800 --> 01:06:09,440
Speaker 3: going to hire a general manager. So if you hire

1309
01:06:09,440 --> 01:06:12,240
Speaker 3: a general manager, you're stuck with Mike McDaniel as your guy,

1310
01:06:12,320 --> 01:06:14,840
Speaker 3: at least for a year. I mean that that's that's

1311
01:06:14,880 --> 01:06:17,120
Speaker 3: a tough situation to take over a job unless you're

1312
01:06:17,200 --> 01:06:18,920
Speaker 3: one of his guys. And then the reality is, if

1313
01:06:18,920 --> 01:06:21,160
Speaker 3: you're hiring a guy that likes Mike McDaniel, you're not

1314
01:06:21,280 --> 01:06:23,000
Speaker 3: hiring might not be hiring the best guy for the

1315
01:06:23,120 --> 01:06:25,040
Speaker 3: organization to run it. So I think they have a

1316
01:06:25,120 --> 01:06:26,560
Speaker 3: problem in Miami if they keep them.

1317
01:06:27,080 --> 01:06:30,080
Speaker 1: Get him on X at Prisco CBS. He is Pete Prisco,

1318
01:06:30,200 --> 01:06:34,040
Speaker 1: senior NFL columnists for CBS Sports, CBS Sports HQ analyst.

1319
01:06:34,440 --> 01:06:37,440
Speaker 1: Always a good conversation here on a Monday, Pete. We

1320
01:06:37,560 --> 01:06:39,640
Speaker 1: appreciate it. Happy Brady.

1321
01:06:41,800 --> 01:06:43,240
Speaker 4: Oh, come on, don't do that, Pete.

1322
01:06:43,400 --> 01:06:45,720
Speaker 1: I don't know, Pete, don't don't draw attention to that.

1323
01:06:45,960 --> 01:06:48,520
Speaker 1: Come on, Pete, ask him.

1324
01:06:50,520 --> 01:06:53,400
Speaker 4: Is the great p Prisko? Why do you do that? Radio?

1325
01:06:53,480 --> 01:06:57,240
Speaker 1: By the way, the road to Milan runs through Saint

1326
