We have played this game on the last 24 00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:10,360 Speaker 1: word for many years. Yes we have. It may be seven, 25 00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:12,920 Speaker 1: I mean it could be eight years old. Factor Fiction's 26 00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:16,360 Speaker 1: coming at you right before the Super Bowl. Okay, all right, 27 00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:18,960 Speaker 1: you ready for it. Here's how it is, factor fiction. 28 00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:21,560 Speaker 1: I'm gonna discuss some bold statements with the voice of 29 00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:23,840 Speaker 1: the Colts, and you're gonna say, hey, are these fact 30 00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:27,160 Speaker 1: or are these fiction? A nice golden chalice or is 31 00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:29,120 Speaker 1: this horse craft? That's what we should have called it. 32 00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:29,839 Speaker 1: You're ready. 33 00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:32,000 Speaker 3: Roll describes this show perfectly. 34 00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:35,880 Speaker 1: Let's go. Colts have thirteen unrestricted free agents coming up 35 00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:38,520 Speaker 1: in March. Okay, that's a bold fact right there. I 36 00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:41,120 Speaker 1: mean that is something you're looking at, unrestricted free agents 37 00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:44,240 Speaker 1: thirteen coming up in March. But the player they should 38 00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:47,800 Speaker 1: prioritize bringing back the most is Michael Pittman junior. 39 00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:51,800 Speaker 3: May ta factor fiction. That's probably fact. We talked about 40 00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:53,920 Speaker 3: it last week on your free agent list. You've got 41 00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:56,440 Speaker 3: some heavy hitters, right, You've got your backup quarterback. 42 00:01:56,520 --> 00:02:01,080 Speaker 1: Yeah. Probably in fact, don't go together, I'm saying fast, Okay, 43 00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:04,360 Speaker 1: fact probably fat Factor fiction you're going with fact? Why? 44 00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:06,240 Speaker 3: I mean you hear it all the time, the debate 45 00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:09,239 Speaker 3: over Michael Pittman Junior. Is he a number one wide receiver? 46 00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:11,400 Speaker 3: Is he a deep threat? All I know is he's 47 00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:14,639 Speaker 3: a damn good football player. He's a really good receiver. 48 00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:16,600 Speaker 3: It would be great for this team to have him. 49 00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:19,399 Speaker 3: Where would this offense be? Where would it have been 50 00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:22,360 Speaker 3: last year without Michael Pittman Junior and is one hundred 51 00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:25,919 Speaker 3: and nine catches and he does everything you want. He blocks, 52 00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:28,520 Speaker 3: he catches, he's tough, he's great in the running game. 53 00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:31,359 Speaker 3: So when it comes to the success of this offense 54 00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:34,320 Speaker 3: next year with a young quarterback, I think you need 55 00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:38,320 Speaker 3: as many complimentary pieces as possible. Chris Ballard said it. 56 00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:41,320 Speaker 3: Wide receiver contracts are kind of like gas prices, Right, 57 00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:43,680 Speaker 3: If the price of gas is four dollars, what are 58 00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:45,799 Speaker 3: you gonna do? Right, that's just what you gotta do. 59 00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:49,560 Speaker 3: You gotta pay it. Obviously, that's an oversimplification of things 60 00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:52,920 Speaker 3: when it comes to Michael Pittman Junior in free agency, 61 00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:55,800 Speaker 3: but prioritizing him makes a lot of sense if you 62 00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:58,880 Speaker 3: can find that reasonable sweet spot in free agency. 63 00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:03,000 Speaker 1: Okay, reasonable sweets aside, I'm just saying you lose Michael 64 00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:05,760 Speaker 1: Pittman Junior in this wide receiver room, You're talking you're 65 00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:08,480 Speaker 1: relying heavy in free agency or relying heavy in the 66 00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:11,520 Speaker 1: draft for that position. Big pay raise this year, hopefully 67 00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:14,560 Speaker 1: right here in Indianapolis. And obviously that he fits so 68 00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:17,560 Speaker 1: well with this offense and with Anthony Richardson, that's a fact. 69 00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:20,760 Speaker 1: Let's move on. The Houston Texans may tay they are 70 00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:24,359 Speaker 1: here to stay and will be front runners to win 71 00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:28,200 Speaker 1: this AFC South in twenty twenty four. Is that factor fiction? 72 00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:29,840 Speaker 1: I'm gonna split it up. 73 00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:31,920 Speaker 3: I think they're here to stay, but in terms of 74 00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:35,240 Speaker 3: them being front runners, I think it's fiction. I'm saying 75 00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:38,600 Speaker 3: the entire division are front runners next year. And yes 76 00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:41,360 Speaker 3: they are the defending champs, but they won the division 77 00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:43,839 Speaker 3: by one game. They won the division by one game 78 00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:46,120 Speaker 3: over the Colts and the Jaguar, So the arrow is 79 00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:48,920 Speaker 3: no doubt pointing up for them with CJ. Stroud and 80 00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:51,800 Speaker 3: Tamiko Ryans. And this week we find out that their 81 00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:55,960 Speaker 3: offensive coordinator, Bobby Slowak, who interviewed for several head coaching jobs, 82 00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:59,280 Speaker 3: he's coming back. He's coming back to remain the offensive coordinator, 83 00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:01,480 Speaker 3: which is great news for them, but the arrow is 84 00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:03,680 Speaker 3: also pointing up for the Colts as well, with Shane 85 00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:08,520 Speaker 3: Steik and Anthony Richardson. I fully expect the Jaguars to rebound, 86 00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:10,080 Speaker 3: and who knows what the Titans are going to be 87 00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:13,200 Speaker 3: under Brian Callahan. So my point is who would have 88 00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:16,000 Speaker 3: thought the Texans last year would win the division with 89 00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:19,279 Speaker 3: a rookie quarterback and so many unknowns. A lot of 90 00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:22,120 Speaker 3: people doubted them during the draft process. 91 00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:22,679 Speaker 1: I mean CJ. 92 00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:25,400 Speaker 3: Stroud was kind of a big question mark going into 93 00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:28,440 Speaker 3: his rookie campaign, and he certainly kind of squelched all 94 00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:30,800 Speaker 3: of that doubt. But you know, the Textans start of 95 00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:33,480 Speaker 3: the year zero and two and they rebounded nicely and 96 00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:34,960 Speaker 3: you have to give them a lot of credit, But 97 00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:37,000 Speaker 3: you know, who would have saw the slide from the 98 00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:39,200 Speaker 3: Jaguars at the end of the season. This is why 99 00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:42,279 Speaker 3: the NFL is the best reality TV going because of 100 00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:44,920 Speaker 3: stories like this. So, no, I don't think that there 101 00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:46,960 Speaker 3: is a front runner in the division. To be honest 102 00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:49,200 Speaker 3: with you. We still have free agency, we still have 103 00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:52,240 Speaker 3: the draft and a lot of personnel acquisition periods coming up, 104 00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:53,920 Speaker 3: and even then, I don't think we're gonna know. 105 00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:56,920 Speaker 1: Matt what we're talking about now between Richardson Shroud, between 106 00:04:57,200 --> 00:05:00,560 Speaker 1: will Levis obviously what Lawrence is gonna do. Now, They're 107 00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:03,159 Speaker 1: loaded at the quarterback position all across the age South, 108 00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:05,320 Speaker 1: and you want to implement that for the next ten years. 109 00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:07,200 Speaker 1: Knock on wood. Hopefully that's the case. Yeah. 110 00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:10,080 Speaker 3: So the division with maybe the most instability in short 111 00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:12,719 Speaker 3: order two years has a lot of stability and a 112 00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:14,560 Speaker 3: lot of parody, and there's going to be some major 113 00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:17,080 Speaker 3: battles really for the next eight to nine years. As 114 00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:20,440 Speaker 3: long as these quarterbacks stay as the franchise qbs and 115 00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:21,200 Speaker 3: stay healthy. 116 00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:24,080 Speaker 1: Of him, Anthony Richardson will be back twenty twenty four. Mate. 117 00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:25,719 Speaker 1: I know you're looking forward to that, so are you 118 00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:28,760 Speaker 1: Colts fans. Rock Purdy one of the most clutch quarterbacks 119 00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:31,320 Speaker 1: in the NFL. Fact or fiction, and you better go 120 00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:34,279 Speaker 1: with this one. I'm going fast, absolutely. The guy's already 121 00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:38,000 Speaker 1: won four playoffs. Nothing wrong in this career, zero nothing 122 00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:38,640 Speaker 1: in his career. 123 00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:41,000 Speaker 3: I mean, he's been in the NFC Title Game two 124 00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:43,080 Speaker 3: years in a row. Now, he's in a Super Bowl, 125 00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:46,400 Speaker 3: set a franchise record for passing yards this season. His 126 00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:49,880 Speaker 3: passer rating this year at one thirteen, was the best 127 00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:52,320 Speaker 3: in the NFL. And I know he's got great I mean, 128 00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:54,280 Speaker 3: here's the knock on him. He's always on too good 129 00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:56,559 Speaker 3: of a team. He's got a great coach, The play 130 00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:59,640 Speaker 3: caller is e Laitue, great weapons. Listen, if it was 131 00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:01,800 Speaker 3: that anybody could step in and do it. 132 00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:02,640 Speaker 1: Hey, how about that? 133 00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:04,799 Speaker 3: I mean, look at the last two games. Last seven 134 00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:08,120 Speaker 3: minutes of the Packers game right down four goes six 135 00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:10,720 Speaker 3: for seven passing for forty nine yards, and the second 136 00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:14,679 Speaker 3: half against the Lions down seventeen forty nine. Ers score 137 00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:18,640 Speaker 3: twenty four straight, thirteen out of sixteen passing through a touchdown, 138 00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:21,839 Speaker 3: ran four times for about fifty yards. I mean, he's 139 00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:24,640 Speaker 3: twenty one and five as a starting quarterback, Jeffrey, what 140 00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:25,240 Speaker 3: else do you want? 141 00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:28,040 Speaker 1: I missed her? Irrelevant to say that again, twenty one 142 00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:30,479 Speaker 1: and five as a starter. Absolute people are saying, hey, 143 00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:32,240 Speaker 1: this is a game manager. Hey, this is a guy 144 00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:34,920 Speaker 1: that's putting a good position with a great offensive mind. 145 00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:37,719 Speaker 3: And every game the quarterback is demanded to make four 146 00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:41,120 Speaker 3: or five game winning throws, game winning plays, and he 147 00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:42,080 Speaker 3: steps up and does that. 148 00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:44,240 Speaker 1: Go ahead, win yourself one. See what they say about 149 00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:46,400 Speaker 1: you after that? Pretty well done? All right? How about 150 00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:49,520 Speaker 1: this on factor fiction. Most of America they're over the Chiefs. 151 00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:52,680 Speaker 1: I don't know. Wait a minute, is that football wise 152 00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:55,920 Speaker 1: or is that generally off the field with some on 153 00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:57,760 Speaker 1: the field stuff. That's will you tell me? 154 00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:01,160 Speaker 3: It's the kind of have this orbit right now where 155 00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:03,800 Speaker 3: they're like picking up things on their way, you know, 156 00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:07,679 Speaker 3: around the sun and their revolution here, I would probably 157 00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:10,760 Speaker 3: say fact. I mean, listen, I appreciate greatness, right, I 158 00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:13,600 Speaker 3: appreciate a dynasty, I get it. But everybody was kind 159 00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:16,760 Speaker 3: of over the Patriots, right they made their run. I mean, 160 00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:20,040 Speaker 3: what was it, eight straight AFC Championship Game appearances. The 161 00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:22,760 Speaker 3: Chiefs have done that six straight years. They're in the 162 00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:24,920 Speaker 3: Super Bowl now for the third time in the last 163 00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:28,640 Speaker 3: four years. But stop bagging on Travis Kelsey, Stop bagging 164 00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:29,520 Speaker 3: on Taylor Swift. 165 00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:31,640 Speaker 1: Who cares? Just let people be happy. They seem to 166 00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:32,160 Speaker 1: be happy. 167 00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:34,040 Speaker 3: But I think a lot of people were kind of 168 00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:37,880 Speaker 3: alarmed at how big of sore losers they were when 169 00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:40,760 Speaker 3: they hit some rough patches, like the season. That was 170 00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:44,160 Speaker 3: kind of eye opening for me. When adversity struck, they 171 00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:47,400 Speaker 3: didn't necessarily lose with grace, if you know what I'm saying. 172 00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:49,240 Speaker 3: I think that's where some people are with the Chiefs. 173 00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:51,920 Speaker 1: What about you. Well, Mahomes took a little bit of 174 00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:54,480 Speaker 1: a backstep, but that is pure greatness. It's fun for 175 00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:55,600 Speaker 1: me watching greatness. 176 00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:55,960 Speaker 2: That is it. 177 00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:58,880 Speaker 1: The likes of Brady and Mahomes. Yeah, I finally thrown 178 00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:00,520 Speaker 1: them in that case conversation. 179 00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:04,000 Speaker 3: The crazy thing about Mahomes is he's getting better, getting 180 00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:07,720 Speaker 3: better in terms of his savviness, his football IQ, which 181 00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:10,320 Speaker 3: is on full display during this playoff run because he's 182 00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:14,160 Speaker 3: not putting up marvelous numbers. But more important than anything, 183 00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:16,120 Speaker 3: when you watch the Chiefs the last couple of games, 184 00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:18,720 Speaker 3: he's not making mistakes and that's what playoff games come 185 00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:19,040 Speaker 3: down to. 186 00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:21,080 Speaker 1: I got him winning another one mayte, But we'll talk 187 00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:23,120 Speaker 1: about that next week. Let's move on. How about this 188 00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:26,000 Speaker 1: one coach Pro Bowlers, Let's talk about it. It's not fact, 189 00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:28,640 Speaker 1: it's not fiction. They are there. I'm talking about the 190 00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:32,040 Speaker 1: Forrest Buckner Gardner Minshew. Ryan Kelly is there and I 191 00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:34,079 Speaker 1: did see some of it last night on the Pro 192 00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:37,319 Speaker 1: Bowl Games. Ryan Kelly went bubkiss on the long snap 193 00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:39,719 Speaker 1: trying to win points. I mean didn't hit He hit 194 00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:41,360 Speaker 1: the board, which is good, but he didn't hit the 195 00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:43,200 Speaker 1: he didn't put the football in the hole is what 196 00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:45,800 Speaker 1: I'm talking about. So Ryan, Oh, a great job out there. 197 00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:47,319 Speaker 1: I know they got a tug of war and stuff 198 00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:49,480 Speaker 1: coming up, and the game will be out there on Sunday, 199 00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:52,000 Speaker 1: coach By, you know the Manning brothers on both sides 200 00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:54,160 Speaker 1: of the ball. That's gonna be a quittin. Nelson obviously 201 00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:56,520 Speaker 1: is another one that'll be there. So you watching any 202 00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:58,559 Speaker 1: of that, Yeah, I think it's fun. I watched last night. 203 00:08:58,600 --> 00:08:58,960 Speaker 1: It's good. 204 00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:01,839 Speaker 3: I mean, the game certainly ran its course for a 205 00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:04,120 Speaker 3: variety of reasons we don't need to get into. We're 206 00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:05,640 Speaker 3: all aware of those. But I think this is a 207 00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:08,960 Speaker 3: nice alternative. They've got their helmets off, right, it's just them. 208 00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:11,400 Speaker 3: You can see their face, you can see their personalities. 209 00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:13,640 Speaker 3: I do think it's a nice alternative, and I think 210 00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:16,000 Speaker 3: it's only going to continue to grow in terms of popularity. 211 00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:19,240 Speaker 1: The quarterback dropouts there were plenty. Gardner Minshew joined C J. 212 00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:22,600 Speaker 1: Stroud and two at Taga Bayoloa from the AFC, Jalen Hurts, 213 00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:26,480 Speaker 1: Gino Smith and Baker Mayfield from the NFC. Only Taga 214 00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:30,199 Speaker 1: Bayaloa remains the only quarterback who was initially named to 215 00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:33,000 Speaker 1: the Pro Bowlers. That's still playing Matthew Stafford, YadA, YadA, 216 00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:35,960 Speaker 1: those guys obviously Brock Perdy and Patrick Mahomes not playing. 217 00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:39,120 Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson either. He was out, So well done Gardner, Minshew. 218 00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:42,040 Speaker 1: Hopefully you guys will have some fun Tyler dragonfolks from 219 00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:44,280 Speaker 1: USA Today covers the NFL and does a heck of 220 00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:46,079 Speaker 1: a job.

Moody right there, 235 00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:27,400 Speaker 1: All right, let's talk some football. One of the greatest 236 00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:29,880 Speaker 1: names as a journalist I've ever run across. I'm gonna 237 00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:32,400 Speaker 1: say that right out of the great love It Tyler Dragon, 238 00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:35,520 Speaker 1: NFL insider from USA. How you doing today, Tyler? 239 00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:39,800 Speaker 4: Hey, I get that a lot. I just hope I 240 00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:41,120 Speaker 4: live up to the YouTube. 241 00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:45,480 Speaker 1: I can tell already you do. Let's have some fun here. Obviously, 242 00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:49,160 Speaker 1: some coaching changes around the NFL. You're out at Jim 243 00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:54,120 Speaker 1: Harbaugh's introductory press conference overall, with no Mike Rabol, no 244 00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:57,240 Speaker 1: Bill Belichick around. Who got it right this year? Who 245 00:10:57,240 --> 00:10:59,439 Speaker 1: got it wrong? Maybe not so much wrong, but who 246 00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:01,720 Speaker 1: really did get it right this year? In your eyes? 247 00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:04,120 Speaker 1: As far as the new hires go, Yeah, so. 248 00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:07,600 Speaker 4: I'll stay in the West Coast obviously. Jim Harball, I 249 00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:12,160 Speaker 4: think that is definitely the right hire for the LA Chargers. 250 00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:15,199 Speaker 4: They need a guy that can change the culture and 251 00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:19,040 Speaker 4: create a winning franchise for a Chargers team that has 252 00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:22,840 Speaker 4: never hoisted a Lombardi Trophy. And Jim Harball, He's won 253 00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:26,760 Speaker 4: every single stop in his coaching career, so I think 254 00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:30,839 Speaker 4: he's an excellent addition for the Chargers. And then I 255 00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:35,040 Speaker 4: like Antonio Pierce with the Las Vegas Raiders as well. 256 00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:38,559 Speaker 4: He went five and four as an interim head coach 257 00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:41,520 Speaker 4: with the Raiders kind of right at the ship during 258 00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:47,320 Speaker 4: a tumultuous season in Las Vegas, and he really got 259 00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:51,800 Speaker 4: the endorsement from their franchise, Cornerstone Pieces and talking about 260 00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:55,880 Speaker 4: a player like Max Crosby, talking about Davonte Adams. So 261 00:11:56,360 --> 00:12:01,200 Speaker 4: when you turn around what was a rocket season in 262 00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:05,520 Speaker 4: Las Vegas, and you have the respect and admiration of 263 00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:09,640 Speaker 4: Cornerstone Pieces and your two best players, and you really 264 00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:12,520 Speaker 4: have proven that you are the right man for the job. 265 00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:15,880 Speaker 4: So I think the Raiders got it right in Antonio 266 00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:16,640 Speaker 4: Pierce as well. 267 00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:19,600 Speaker 1: All right, that's d Tyler Dragon on Twitter x again 268 00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:22,600 Speaker 1: at d Tyler Dragon that covers the NFL for USA today. 269 00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:25,360 Speaker 1: Shane Stikeen. Let's say, let's stay close to home here. 270 00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:28,719 Speaker 1: What's the overall national view of what Shane Stiken did 271 00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:31,680 Speaker 1: in year one? Obviously with a lot of rolling quarterbacks 272 00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:33,560 Speaker 1: and head coaches in the last couple of years here 273 00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:36,240 Speaker 1: studying the ship. What do you guys like about what 274 00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:38,560 Speaker 1: Shane Styken brings to this Colts program. 275 00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:42,240 Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, he righted the ship as well. You know, 276 00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:46,880 Speaker 4: it was kind of a quarterback carousel when Anthony Richardson 277 00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:50,520 Speaker 4: went down, but the Colts were still in the playoff time, 278 00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:54,160 Speaker 4: second in the AFC South, and I like how he 279 00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:58,319 Speaker 4: turned things around in Indianapolis. And I really do think 280 00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:02,320 Speaker 4: the sky's the limit or a young Colts team with 281 00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:06,480 Speaker 4: a lot of salary cap room this coming season where 282 00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:10,280 Speaker 4: they can try to build out their roster and get 283 00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:14,040 Speaker 4: some more players in there for Anthony Richardson and kind 284 00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:16,600 Speaker 4: of build out that defense as well. But nine to 285 00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:19,680 Speaker 4: eight in the AFC South and almost a playoff Berth, 286 00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:23,040 Speaker 4: I really liked what they did in twenty twenty three. 287 00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:27,080 Speaker 3: That's Tyler Dragon with u NFL Insider from USA Today 288 00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:29,320 Speaker 3: along with Jeffrey Gorman, I Matt Taylor. This is the 289 00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:31,520 Speaker 3: last word on ninety three to five and one oh 290 00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:34,800 Speaker 3: seven five the Fan and looking ahead a little bit, Tyler, 291 00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:37,720 Speaker 3: the Chiefs, they just keep getting it done right. They've 292 00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:39,840 Speaker 3: had their speed bumps in the middle of the season. 293 00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:43,360 Speaker 3: Losses to the Bills, a lost to the Raiders on 294 00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:45,760 Speaker 3: Christmas Day, those kind of stand out. But yet here 295 00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:48,520 Speaker 3: they are again in the Super Bowl. What do you 296 00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:51,880 Speaker 3: attribute their turnaround to, if you want to call it 297 00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:54,560 Speaker 3: that in terms of them getting their way back into 298 00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:55,880 Speaker 3: the Super Bowl with Patrick Mahomes. 299 00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:59,040 Speaker 4: Yet again, you said it, Patrick Mahomes, he's the best 300 00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:02,079 Speaker 4: player in football. In my opinion, He's probably going to 301 00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:05,760 Speaker 4: go down as the best quarterback ever to play. He's 302 00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:10,920 Speaker 4: just that good. And the team really rallies behind him. 303 00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:14,680 Speaker 4: In the middle of the season. Beginning season, they had 304 00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:20,760 Speaker 4: some drops issues. Receivers weren't creating separation, they weren't catching passes. 305 00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:23,920 Speaker 4: But Patrick Mahomes would go up in front of the 306 00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:27,120 Speaker 4: podium every Sunday at Sunday wherever their game was and 307 00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:31,320 Speaker 4: give his receivers a voter confidence that he's going to 308 00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:33,840 Speaker 4: keep on passing them, the football keep on going to them. 309 00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:36,920 Speaker 4: And what do you know, the last couple of games 310 00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:41,920 Speaker 4: there went on the road and mvs is catching balls 311 00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:45,800 Speaker 4: and she Rice is still one of the premier rookies 312 00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:49,560 Speaker 4: in the National Football League. So the receivers now they're 313 00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:52,640 Speaker 4: playing better, they're creating a little bit more separation, and 314 00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:56,120 Speaker 4: they're not having the drops issues. And now you see 315 00:14:56,160 --> 00:15:00,800 Speaker 4: the Chiefs being a team that could legit mentley win 316 00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:04,680 Speaker 4: the Super Bowl against the forty nine ers because he 317 00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:08,680 Speaker 4: stayed by his receivers and believed in them. Even that 318 00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:13,680 Speaker 4: offensive line that was having problems, particularly the two tackles 319 00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:17,800 Speaker 4: with penalties and holdings and false starts and whatnot. So 320 00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:21,080 Speaker 4: when you have a leader that believes in your team 321 00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:25,840 Speaker 4: and believes in the players and doesn't yell at you 322 00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:28,920 Speaker 4: and doesn't get on you for making mistakes at the 323 00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:33,120 Speaker 4: mistakes and encouraging you, then eventually you're going to get 324 00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:36,640 Speaker 4: better and you're going to start wanting to play for 325 00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:40,360 Speaker 4: a quarterback and a head coach like Andy Reid. And 326 00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:43,840 Speaker 4: then their defense as well. Their defense has been a 327 00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:47,760 Speaker 4: top five defense all year and led by Chris Jones, 328 00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:52,360 Speaker 4: and they've really had a solid, solid attack held the 329 00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:57,200 Speaker 4: Ravens to ten points. Premiere Ravens offense with Lamar Jackson's 330 00:15:57,200 --> 00:16:00,000 Speaker 4: gonna win the MVP. So I look at the Chiefs 331 00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:03,920 Speaker 4: as a complete football team and they don't need their 332 00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:08,520 Speaker 4: offense to explode, but they just need plays here and there. 333 00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:10,480 Speaker 4: And you have one of the best players in all 334 00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:14,400 Speaker 4: the football ever in Patrick Mahomes to do that. Especially, 335 00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:17,400 Speaker 4: I think they're going to do well in the Super 336 00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:19,760 Speaker 4: Bowl because they have that experience factor as well. 337 00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:21,960 Speaker 3: Yeah, meanwhile, Tyler on the other side of the ball, 338 00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:24,520 Speaker 3: the other quarterback, Rock Purty, we were talking about him 339 00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:26,800 Speaker 3: earlier in the show, and he seems to take so 340 00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:29,880 Speaker 3: much junk for no reason. Tyler, where do you stand 341 00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:32,840 Speaker 3: on the party debate in terms of the respect that 342 00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:34,400 Speaker 3: he does and does not get? 343 00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:39,000 Speaker 4: So yeah, I hear that game manager debate all the 344 00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:41,600 Speaker 4: time with Rock Purty. And don't get me wrong, the 345 00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:44,720 Speaker 4: forty nine Ers have an embarrassment of riches on the 346 00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:47,080 Speaker 4: offensive side of the football. When he talked about a 347 00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:52,080 Speaker 4: Christian McCaffery at debo, Samuel Brandon Naive, George Kittle and 348 00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:56,040 Speaker 4: Trent Williams and on the offensive line. But Rock Purty 349 00:16:56,120 --> 00:17:00,600 Speaker 4: still has to give those players the football. And the 350 00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:04,119 Speaker 4: thing that I like about brock Purty is he avoids 351 00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:08,480 Speaker 4: huge turnovers and constlate mistakes. He's like a point guard 352 00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:11,480 Speaker 4: out there, and that's why he was an a front 353 00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:15,840 Speaker 4: runner to get the MVP Trophy before Lamar Jackson kind 354 00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:19,800 Speaker 4: of ran away with things. And yes, I mean it. 355 00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:23,639 Speaker 4: Does he have the biggest arm, No, Does he have 356 00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:28,399 Speaker 4: the most athleticism, No, but he gets the job done 357 00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:31,200 Speaker 4: as the point guard of the forty nine ers offense. 358 00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:35,439 Speaker 4: Now will he win the sexiest quarterback competition? Though? Is 359 00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:39,320 Speaker 4: he the fifth best player on the team? Top five. 360 00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:42,719 Speaker 4: Probably not, but he doesn't have to be that. There 361 00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:45,159 Speaker 4: are a lot of times a quarterback isn't the best 362 00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:48,600 Speaker 4: player on the team or a top five player on 363 00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:52,560 Speaker 4: the team, but they play. He plays the most important position, 364 00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:56,480 Speaker 4: has a position with the biggest impact. And the things 365 00:17:56,520 --> 00:18:00,600 Speaker 4: that I like about brock Purty is he manages games 366 00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:05,440 Speaker 4: well and runs Kyle Shanahan's offense at an efficient level. 367 00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:08,280 Speaker 4: And that's all you can ask for from him at 368 00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:12,600 Speaker 4: this point. Now, he led a comeback victory last week 369 00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:16,800 Speaker 4: against Detroit Lions. He led another comeback victory the previous 370 00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:20,000 Speaker 4: week against the Green Bay Packers. So he has to 371 00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:22,080 Speaker 4: be a little bit more than a game manager if 372 00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:26,320 Speaker 4: he's leading comeback victory. So I think he deserves a 373 00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:29,520 Speaker 4: little bit more respect that he's getting. But is he 374 00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:33,080 Speaker 4: an upper echelon quarterback. No, but there's not too many 375 00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:36,120 Speaker 4: upper echelon quarterbacks in the NFL for sure. 376 00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:40,160 Speaker 1: NFL Insider from USA Today that is Tyler Dragon.

This cat already has fourteen playoff 452 00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:22,679 Speaker 1: wins in six seasons. Only two quarterbacks in NFL history 453 00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:28,040 Speaker 1: have more playoff wins than Mahomes. Who are they mate? 454 00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:33,159 Speaker 1: Gotta be Brady. Here's one who's I'll say Peyton Manning. 455 00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:36,480 Speaker 1: Oh good poll, but it's Joe Montana and he has sixteen. 456 00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:39,760 Speaker 1: Mahomes has fourteen. He's tied with Peyton Manning at the 457 00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:42,080 Speaker 1: fourteen with l he was already tied with Peyton Many. 458 00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:44,480 Speaker 1: He's already tied with Manning through six seasons. How about 459 00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:46,440 Speaker 1: that playoff victories? He's a walk in Hall of Famer 460 00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:48,919 Speaker 1: if it ended, you know a week from this Sunday, 461 00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:50,280 Speaker 1: that kids in the Hall of fame.

Patrick Mahomes me think his own wing there. 466 00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:05,480 Speaker 3: I mean absolutely, let me think about it. He could 467 00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:09,440 Speaker 3: play for twenty years. Brady played for what twenty twenty 468 00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:11,639 Speaker 3: three years? He's only played six Some of. 469 00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:13,919 Speaker 1: The goats are still playing like right now, Like Mahomes 470 00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:15,760 Speaker 1: could end up to be the goat, Kelsey could be 471 00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:18,920 Speaker 1: the goat. Gronkowski who the goat? The greatest ever play 472 00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:20,600 Speaker 1: the position is no doubt, are right in front of 473 00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:23,440 Speaker 1: our eyes, Golden era of quarterbacks.

There are 482 00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:56,560 Speaker 5: three players in NFL history that have receptions in the 483 00:23:56,640 --> 00:23:58,360 Speaker 5: NFL over the age of forty. 484 00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:01,840 Speaker 1: Okay, I like three. 485 00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:05,000 Speaker 5: Now one of them you just mentioned who you would 486 00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:07,800 Speaker 5: have never thought has a reception. But Tom Brady is 487 00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:08,480 Speaker 5: one of those. 488 00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:10,560 Speaker 1: Guys, So you need to you need two more.
