Speaker 2: what a weekend for us. The Browns clinched the playoffs

13
00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:12,080
Speaker 2: by four o'clock on Saturday. We knew the Browns were

14
00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:15,679
Speaker 2: the five seed. It was fun just watching those games.

15
00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:18,399
Speaker 2: And he had the two games yesterday, just to have

16
00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:20,520
Speaker 2: that nice weekend to ring in the new year. It

17
00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:22,960
Speaker 2: was glorious. How how was your New Year's Eve?

18
00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:30,440
Speaker 3: I was in bed by eleven? What I was probably

19
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:32,480
Speaker 3: because the night before I went to bed at three.

20
00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:34,520
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, that'll catch up with you.

21
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:37,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, and then like the night before that was a

22
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:42,680
Speaker 3: buck Guy's watch party that set college football back forty years.

23
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:49,080
Speaker 3: College football is screwed up. It's awful outside of yesterday's

24
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:51,760
Speaker 3: Final four games. But I had no interest in even

25
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:54,560
Speaker 3: watching the Final four. Yeah, I didn't watch it.

26
00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:56,160
Speaker 2: Michigan Alabama was a great game.

27
00:01:56,240 --> 00:02:00,720
Speaker 3: I know. I was so disgusted after Friday. I'm like,

28
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:03,760
Speaker 3: I'm done. I don't know what college football is broken.

29
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:08,400
Speaker 3: I'm not here for it. I'm done. I don't know.

30
00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:11,000
Speaker 2: Well, the good news is you worked for an NFL team, So.

31
00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:14,720
Speaker 3: Thank god that's going for you. Beautiful Saturday night. A

32
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:17,880
Speaker 3: lot of controversy, Cowboys. I was with a bunch of

33
00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:21,960
Speaker 3: Lions fans. That was crazy. So what's where are we

34
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:24,560
Speaker 3: at now? I mean, you've got Dan Campbell saying that

35
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:27,160
Speaker 3: only one guy can report eligible. We report sixty eight

36
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:30,320
Speaker 3: and fifty three eligible together all the time, correct, So

37
00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:32,600
Speaker 3: I know that that's not true. This sounds like it

38
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:36,360
Speaker 3: got screwed up, like they they It sounds like the

39
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:39,760
Speaker 3: Lions outsmarted themselves, okay, and try to get like a

40
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:41,640
Speaker 3: bunch of guys in that area.

41
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:44,960
Speaker 2: They were trying to fake who was reporting as eligible.

42
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:48,000
Speaker 3: And Meanwhile, the one guy that needed to report maybe

43
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:51,160
Speaker 3: either didn't report or got lost in the shuffle.

44
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:53,680
Speaker 2: Supposedly he did report. The guy that they said report

45
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:56,000
Speaker 2: was the one who was fake reporting is seventy He

46
00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:58,000
Speaker 2: said basically, I'm not reporting.

47
00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:01,320
Speaker 3: Which the moment you heard that, if you were Dan Campbell,

48
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:03,320
Speaker 3: you should have called the time out.

49
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:07,280
Speaker 2: Supposedly they had a legal formation anyway. Yeah, and there

50
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:11,040
Speaker 2: was something with a tripping, but on the same they

51
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:15,799
Speaker 2: got I mean, clearly they didn't do. Clearly the refs

52
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:18,280
Speaker 2: mess this up because immediately that crew was taken out

53
00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:22,840
Speaker 2: of the playoffs within twenty four hours, right crazy, So

54
00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:25,840
Speaker 2: then they did not do it. They messed up, and

55
00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:29,760
Speaker 2: that could have massive implications for the seedings in the NFC,

56
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:32,160
Speaker 2: especially won that game.

57
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:34,840
Speaker 3: That's the first thing I thought of when I saw

58
00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:38,000
Speaker 3: the Philly final score come in against the Cartels. I

59
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:40,960
Speaker 3: was like, oh my god, Dan Campbell's gonna lose his mind,

60
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:44,480
Speaker 3: Like they have every reason to be angry now.

61
00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:47,080
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, And I think on top of that, there

62
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:50,200
Speaker 2: was a penalty that was called on Dallas earlier where

63
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:52,920
Speaker 2: they called the guy offsides offensive or he was back

64
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:54,640
Speaker 2: too far that was in there.

65
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:55,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, bad knock.

66
00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:58,880
Speaker 2: They've got to get the officiating stuff locked up. And

67
00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:01,440
Speaker 2: I'll say, you didn't watch yesyesterday, I thought watching the

68
00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:03,600
Speaker 2: Michigan Alabama game was awesome. The refs kind of just

69
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:07,480
Speaker 2: let them play. I was how big time football should be.

70
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:10,160
Speaker 2: I shouldn't say I didn't like. When it went to overtime,

71
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:12,120
Speaker 2: I was like, all right, I'll turn it on. I

72
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:14,880
Speaker 2: had just gotten home. We were outrun running around doing.

73
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 3: A couple of things and got home and I was like,

74
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:21,160
Speaker 3: I think we're going to overtime here. I might need

75
00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:23,440
Speaker 3: to watch. So I did watch overtime, but the rest

76
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:25,800
Speaker 3: of it. I just overtime was great. It was electric,

77
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:29,440
Speaker 3: exactly that. But that's all I needed to see. I

78
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:34,400
Speaker 3: just I again college foot it was depressing. There is

79
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:37,960
Speaker 3: a big problem with college football. NFL games were great.

80
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:42,960
Speaker 3: I mean the Bengals Chiefs was better than I thought

81
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:44,960
Speaker 3: it was going to be. Yeah, in part because the

82
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:45,840
Speaker 3: Chiefs are a mess.

83
00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:47,919
Speaker 2: Chiefs are a little bit of a mess. The Chiefs

84
00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 2: are most definitely a little bit of a mess, there's

85
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:55,279
Speaker 2: no doubt. And it feels like they're a little broken,

86
00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:56,840
Speaker 2: kind of like Philly's a little broken.

87
00:04:57,760 --> 00:04:59,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know. What's going on there? I don't

88
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:00,280
Speaker 3: know how you lose to the car.

89
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:02,800
Speaker 2: And you can tell with the Chiefs too, like there's

90
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:05,679
Speaker 2: they're starting to kind of fall apart at the seams

91
00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:08,159
Speaker 2: a little bit. They're starting to get very how do

92
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:11,880
Speaker 2: you say, antsy, And you see a lot of infighting

93
00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:14,760
Speaker 2: and people saying what I would call unkind things to

94
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:18,360
Speaker 2: one another, kind of like how I talk to you sometimes. Yeah,

95
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:22,680
Speaker 2: but we're not We're not falling apart like they are. No, no, no, no, no,

96
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:24,360
Speaker 2: let's be positive there.

97
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:27,040
Speaker 3: Yeah. Uh, it was. It was a good It was

98
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:30,760
Speaker 3: a great weekend. Man, I cannot It was great just

99
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:34,600
Speaker 3: to unplug like I did. We got out of here,

100
00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:36,720
Speaker 3: you know, and I got out of here about four

101
00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:40,479
Speaker 3: point thirty on Friday, Like I did not open my

102
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:44,120
Speaker 3: laptop again until yesterday. So great, so great, Like so

103
00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:47,520
Speaker 3: coach talked to the media at four o'clock yesterday. I

104
00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:51,560
Speaker 3: opened my laptop for that. That was it. I'm like,

105
00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:52,760
Speaker 3: I'll see on Tuesday.

106
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:57,279
Speaker 2: It's great. And you know, for the Browns, you know,

107
00:05:57,360 --> 00:05:59,480
Speaker 2: we had been talking about what did we want to

108
00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:01,200
Speaker 2: have happen and what do you have loved to have?

109
00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:03,960
Speaker 2: The dream for the number one seed still alive. Of

110
00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:08,040
Speaker 2: course you would have, but now that you know what's

111
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:09,920
Speaker 2: going on in Kevin stancaid, they haven't quite worked out

112
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:12,560
Speaker 2: the plan yet, but it will give you an opportunity

113
00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:16,040
Speaker 2: to rest some people, to get them healthy for the

114
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:18,800
Speaker 2: finale or for the playoff. I'm sorry the playoff opener,

115
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:22,640
Speaker 2: and so think about Amari needs that time. Elijah Moore

116
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:25,480
Speaker 2: probably needs that time, and thank goodness that he's okay.

117
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:28,400
Speaker 2: Real quick, I want to read just a couple of

118
00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:31,599
Speaker 2: tweets that he sent out because that was such a

119
00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:34,080
Speaker 2: scary thing. You know that I am a huge Elijah

120
00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:37,240
Speaker 2: Moore guy. I like him a great deal as not

121
00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:39,840
Speaker 2: only a player, but as a person. He tweeted out,

122
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:42,000
Speaker 2: this is about nineteen hours ago, so this would have

123
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:46,120
Speaker 2: been about five o'clock yesterday, six or six o'clock yesterday.

124
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:49,599
Speaker 2: Thank you to everyone for the love, support and to

125
00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:51,680
Speaker 2: all who lifted me up in prayer since Thursday night.

126
00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:53,880
Speaker 2: Thank you the Clinton Brown's doctors and staff at University

127
00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:55,920
Speaker 2: Hospital taking amazing care of me. I feel extremely blessed

128
00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:58,040
Speaker 2: to you. Feeling much better. I'm excited to get back

129
00:06:58,040 --> 00:06:59,880
Speaker 2: to work with my brothers as we embark on this

130
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:02,560
Speaker 2: playoff run. For the city of Cleveland. Most importantly, all

131
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:05,159
Speaker 2: praises to the most higphers covering and protection and everything

132
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:07,400
Speaker 2: else in between. All of this simply is a reminder

133
00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:09,400
Speaker 2: of how lucky and blessed we are to be doing

134
00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:11,400
Speaker 2: what we love, let alone waking up every day. You

135
00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:13,440
Speaker 2: never know how quick could be taken away. Love, love,

136
00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:16,200
Speaker 2: love and blessings. Elijah wore and could not be happier

137
00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:20,240
Speaker 2: for Elijah wore that he is feeling better and and

138
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:22,280
Speaker 2: that was, as we said, very very scary that day.

139
00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:23,960
Speaker 2: And so that's that's some very good news.

140
00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:27,280
Speaker 3: At the time, I don't think we understood or knew

141
00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:30,160
Speaker 3: the seriousness of it. We knew he was down, we

142
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:33,960
Speaker 3: knew it wasn't great. We figured it was probably a

143
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:37,520
Speaker 3: head injury. But the severity of it and not knowing

144
00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:40,880
Speaker 3: until later on in the night he was in the hospital,

145
00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:45,760
Speaker 3: spending the night in the hospital. Yeah, but you changes everything.

146
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:47,400
Speaker 3: He doesn't have to play this week.

147
00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:52,520
Speaker 2: It gives him to really seventeen days to be back

148
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:54,200
Speaker 2: and ready to go, which I think is a good

149
00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:55,480
Speaker 2: thing for man for the Browns.

150
00:07:57,120 --> 00:07:59,400
Speaker 3: Joe Flacco put it, as we like to say on

151
00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:01,840
Speaker 3: the show, put him bubble rap I'll see in two weeks.

152
00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:03,640
Speaker 2: Well, I think the fact that the Brown signed Jeff

153
00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:06,440
Speaker 2: Driscoll to the active roster and waves Sam Kamara tells

154
00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:08,160
Speaker 2: you all you need to know. My guess is it'll

155
00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:12,400
Speaker 2: be either Driscoll starting this weekend or PJ. Walker starting

156
00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:12,960
Speaker 2: this weekend.

00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:34,080
Speaker 2: Ford at this point because he's your start. Let Pierre

163
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:38,360
Speaker 2: Strong get all the work. Yeah, that's fine. Defensively, Miles Dalvin,

164

167
00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:54,480
Speaker 2: of those guys.

168
00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:59,400
Speaker 3: The problem is from a corner standpoint.

169
00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:00,720
Speaker 2: You're gonna have to dress. Yeah, but you'll bring it.

170
00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:03,199
Speaker 2: You can bring up AJ Green, so you'd have Cam Mitchell,

171
00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:06,160
Speaker 2: you'd have a J. Green, you'd have Mike Ford, but

172
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:08,960
Speaker 2: Ford had a calf calf. I think he's gonna be

173
00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:12,520
Speaker 2: fine from Thursday night. I think he'll be fine.

174
00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:15,920
Speaker 3: I just feel like, like, linebacker wise, where are you.

175
00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:21,200
Speaker 2: Define linebacker, You'd have Kunashik, Matt Adams, Diabate, Tony Fields.

176
00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:23,240
Speaker 3: Okay, so you've got enough there to get you.

177
00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:28,040
Speaker 2: For a defensive line, you'd have Alex Wright. You could

178
00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:30,720
Speaker 2: call up Isaiah Thomas if you wanted to. You'd have

179
00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:34,800
Speaker 2: Isaiah Maguire. Yep, you'd have on the interior Jordan Elliott,

180
00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:40,960
Speaker 2: Ika Siakika. Yeah, you'd probably Shelby, probably might get the veteran,

181
00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:43,080
Speaker 2: but might have. I mean, you need you still need

182
00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:43,720
Speaker 2: to be able to play.

183
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:45,640
Speaker 3: That's it. You've got to have a rotation still.

184
00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:45,880
Speaker 2: Yeah.

185
00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:48,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, So I mean there's guys that are gonna have

186
00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:48,920
Speaker 3: to play.

187
00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:51,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, if Kamara clears Waivers, they can bring him back

188
00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:54,120
Speaker 2: up and he could play, you know, both defensive Indian

189
00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:55,080
Speaker 2: defensive tackle.

190
00:09:57,080 --> 00:09:57,360
Speaker 3: Yeah.

191
00:09:57,440 --> 00:09:58,840
Speaker 2: I mean a lot of these guys are still gonna

192
00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:00,920
Speaker 2: have to dress because in the they might have to

193
00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:04,400
Speaker 2: play in the event of injuries to other people. But

194
00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:06,920
Speaker 2: now you want to you want to be as healthy

195
00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:10,880
Speaker 2: as you can be going into this playoff game.

196
00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:11,360

00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:30,160

00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:33,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, but a lot of people from while I went

00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:36,439
Speaker 2: to Michigan. I mean, like all my friends who went

207
00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:42,319
Speaker 2: to Michigan were born in Kia. Doctor the great doctor mcburnett,

208
00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:43,640
Speaker 2: mcburnet's at Michigan.

209
00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:47,080
Speaker 3: Man. People, it's a big day for them. Congratulations. Now

210
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:49,400
Speaker 3: you got to finish the game. You got to finish it.

211
00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:53,560
Speaker 2: There are four and a half point favorites in Las Vegas. Hmm.

212
00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:55,520
Speaker 2: It's a solid, solid number.

213
00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:56,600
Speaker 3: That's a good start.

214
00:10:56,920 --> 00:10:58,560
Speaker 2: So this game we were talking about how it doesn't

215
00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:01,000
Speaker 2: mean anything for us, it also means nothing for the Bengals.

216
00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:01,360
Speaker 5: Yeah.

217
00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:05,080
Speaker 2: Correct, they're done. Yeah, their season is done. So this

218
00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:10,400
Speaker 2: is a game that literally is an exhibition, say fifth

219
00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:13,199
Speaker 2: preseason game. Fourth Well, I guess this year we have

220
00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:16,319
Speaker 2: the game don't sell me short. There on that don't

221
00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:18,920
Speaker 2: sell us short. This will be this will be game.

222
00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:24,960
Speaker 2: This is going to be game twenty one for us. Yeah, yeah,

223
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:26,800
Speaker 2: and we're gonna hope for a twenty five. If we

224
00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:28,920
Speaker 2: had twenty five gibe, that means we will have had

225
00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:31,960
Speaker 2: a game almost every week for half of a year.

226
00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:34,600
Speaker 2: We would yes counting the bye week, we would have

227
00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:37,880
Speaker 2: correct well, actually, and then you count the bye week

228
00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:38,800
Speaker 2: if we made it all.

229
00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:44,959
Speaker 3: The way And I'm fine with totally totally down Jesus. Yeah,

230
00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:48,000
Speaker 3: it's going to require a few days off on the

231
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:50,120
Speaker 3: back end. Yep, yep, all right.

232
00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:52,640
Speaker 2: Based on Sunday's results, the Browns will play the winner

233
00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:54,320
Speaker 2: of the AFC South in the first round the playoffs.

234
00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:56,760
Speaker 2: We've beaten all of them already. We have beaten both

235
00:11:56,840 --> 00:11:59,720
Speaker 2: Houston and Indy in their buildings where this game we played,

236
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:01,840
Speaker 2: we would not. We have not beaten the Jags there.

237
00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:06,200
Speaker 2: If the Jags beat Tennessee, they win.

238
00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:08,360
Speaker 3: The division, correct, that's all they have to do.

239
00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:11,920
Speaker 2: If they lose, the winner of the Colts Texans game

240
00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:16,000
Speaker 2: on Saturday will get in. Saturday's got some good games,

241
00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:20,719
Speaker 2: Saturday's got some juice to it. Ravens Pukers, and then

242
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:23,120
Speaker 2: so the Ravens is interesting. I was talking about this

243
00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:26,160
Speaker 2: today with somebody Jim, They're like, are the Ravens gonna

244
00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:26,840
Speaker 2: sit everybody?

245
00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:29,200
Speaker 3: I mean, do you really sit people multiple weeks?

246
00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:31,959
Speaker 2: That's say two weeks you have the bye anyway, Yeah,

247
00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:35,080
Speaker 2: maybe they play a half, but probably get them some

248
00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:36,720
Speaker 2: I think you'd still want to get guys some action.

249
00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:40,040
Speaker 2: Now somebody's banged up, No sure, but two weeks off

250
00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:40,680
Speaker 2: is a long time.

251
00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:40,840
Speaker 5: Now.

252
00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:42,600
Speaker 2: Vegas has the Steelers as a three and a half

253
00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:45,280
Speaker 2: point favorite, which means they think the Ravens are shitting

254
00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:48,080
Speaker 2: people for sure. Uh, Texans Colts is a good game.

255
00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:53,160
Speaker 2: And then there's really I mean, the NFC game is

256
00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:55,640
Speaker 2: actually going to be a very good, good well NFC

257
00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:58,040
Speaker 2: South because the but they all the Bucks have to

258
00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:01,760
Speaker 2: do is beat They just have to beat the Pan Panthers.

259
00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:05,840
Speaker 2: Maybe they last week, I'll tell you that much. They

260
00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:08,240
Speaker 2: did not look good this week last week. So here's

261
00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:11,360
Speaker 2: the deal. Miami clinches the AFC East Division title with

262
00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:15,240
Speaker 2: a win. Jacksonville clinches with a win. Jacksonville clinches a

263
00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:19,920
Speaker 2: playoff berth with a tie and a Pittsburgh loss or tie,

264
00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:22,840
Speaker 2: or a Pittsburgh loss, a Denver loss, and Houston, Indy

265
00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:25,679
Speaker 2: doesn't end in a tie. Buffalo can clinch the se

266
00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:30,079
Speaker 2: Division title with a win. They clinch a playoff berth

267
00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:34,320
Speaker 2: with a tie or a Steelers loss, a Jaggs loss,

268
00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:37,520
Speaker 2: or a Houston Indianapolis tie. I hate when they get

269
00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:41,640
Speaker 2: in these tie scenario. You're taking segment two away from us. No, no, no, no,

270
00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:44,079
Speaker 2: that's okay. We haven't got to the NFC finished out,

271
00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:48,920
Speaker 2: finish out because I know no, no, no, you're fine

272
00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:49,559
Speaker 2: with no no.

273
00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:52,600
Speaker 3: We adjust on the fly. Mentioned it earlier. There's a

274
00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:56,880
Speaker 3: scenario where somehow the Bills cannot make the playoffs or

275
00:13:56,920 --> 00:13:58,200
Speaker 3: finished with the second seat.

276
00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:01,320
Speaker 2: So the Steelers would make make the playoffs if they

277
00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:06,440
Speaker 2: win and Buffalo loses, they win and Jacksonville loses, or

278
00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:09,880
Speaker 2: they win in a Houston Indianapolis tie, Houston gets into

279
00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:15,079
Speaker 2: the playoffs with a win and a Jacksonville loss. Houston

280
00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:16,880
Speaker 2: clinch the FC South Division with a win in a

281
00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:20,440
Speaker 2: Jacksonville loss. They get into the playoffs with a win,

282
00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:24,240
Speaker 2: a Jags loss, and a Pittsburgh loss. So it feels

283
00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:28,760
Speaker 2: like to me Buffalo would be out if if they

284
00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:38,000
Speaker 2: lose and Pittsburgh wins and the Jags win. Yeah, there's

285
00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:41,200
Speaker 2: these things need to be written, you know, write it more.

286
00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:41,560
Speaker 4: Clearly.

287
00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:45,240
Speaker 3: I literally took this from the NFL from the playoff. Yeah.

288
00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:47,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, so it doesn't give you like it doesn't spell

289
00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:50,120
Speaker 2: out as clear like how they would be eliminated as well.

290
00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:53,720
Speaker 2: But yes, Buffalo clinches with a win or a tie,

291
00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:57,640
Speaker 2: a Steelers loss, Jags loss. So my guess is they

292
00:14:57,680 --> 00:15:00,320
Speaker 2: were based on this, they would be out if they lose,

293
00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:02,560
Speaker 2: Pittsburgh wins and Jacksonville wins.

294
00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:07,760
Speaker 3: Well, Miami's got Miami's got I mean, Miami's got some

295
00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:10,480
Speaker 3: things that they've got to decide. They got a quarterback

296
00:15:10,520 --> 00:15:14,080
Speaker 3: that's banged up. I believe Bradley Chubb as an ACL

297
00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:15,000
Speaker 3: he's done for the year.

298
00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:17,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, they shouldn't have had him in that game. Yeah,

299
00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:18,000
Speaker 2: they should not have had him.

300
00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:18,200
Speaker 6: In the game.

301
00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:23,160
Speaker 3: Wattle and Hill are both dinged up most Yeah, Like,

302
00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:25,400
Speaker 3: do you just because you're in the playoffs, do you

303
00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:29,200
Speaker 3: take the well maybe we win the division, but most

304
00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:32,560
Speaker 3: likely we don't and let's just move forward. Or are

305
00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:35,080
Speaker 3: you trying to get get the home game?

306
00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:38,680
Speaker 2: I think you want to win the division, I would

307
00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:41,760
Speaker 2: assume because you might have to play them again. Also,

308
00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:44,800
Speaker 2: you're Miami, you're much more of a warm weather team.

309
00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:47,600
Speaker 2: If you don't you're goal, it's cold everywhere that you

310
00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:48,520
Speaker 2: would most likely go.

311
00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:53,560
Speaker 3: Have you seen our forecast yep for this week in Cincy.

312
00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:59,600
Speaker 3: No believe that there could be a significant winter storm

313
00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:03,480
Speaker 3: comeing across the country that decides to make its presence

314
00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:06,880
Speaker 3: known in Saturday into Sunday.

315
00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:08,120
Speaker 2: I feel bad for Dread.

316
00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:13,480
Speaker 3: I feel bad for us traveling because I think it

317
00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:19,360
Speaker 3: could get very interesting. The weather forecast not great. Early

318
00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:22,560
Speaker 3: on we are the Weather Channel says we're watching a

319
00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:30,200
Speaker 3: potential for a major winter storm. Yeah, okay, winters, here happens.

320
00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:30,840
Speaker 2: What does happen?

321
00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:31,640
Speaker 3: All right?

322
00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:33,440
Speaker 2: Well, there you go. So it's like the as there's

323
00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:35,560
Speaker 2: still a lot to be determined. But this Sunday went

324
00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:40,240
Speaker 2: along way to Baltimore winning. That locked them into the

325
00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:43,560
Speaker 2: number one overall seed Kansas City. Because they won, they

326
00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:47,920
Speaker 2: won the AFC West eight time, and they stay ahead

327
00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:51,520
Speaker 2: of the AFC South. That's what was you were worried about.

328
00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:53,720
Speaker 2: There was a scenario, although to be honest with you,

329
00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:57,920
Speaker 2: I'm not that worried about them. When you watch them,

330
00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:01,920
Speaker 2: Kelsey unfortunately has lost like two steps. It feels like, yeah,

331
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:05,960
Speaker 2: he's shown every sign of his age, which he's thirty

332
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:07,639
Speaker 2: four thirty four years old. Yeah, and you know, I

333
00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:09,400
Speaker 2: remember going back, remember he got hurt in that game

334
00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:12,280
Speaker 2: against Minnesota, and it really feels like he hasn't been

335
00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:15,119
Speaker 2: quite the same since. Still had a great, great season.

336
00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:17,720
Speaker 2: I bet he probably is. I bet his stats this

337
00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:20,520
Speaker 2: year would surprise me because it just lately has not

338
00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:25,480
Speaker 2: been great. But he was. He was very productive this season.

339
00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:28,600
Speaker 2: Just you can tell he is not the dynamic threat

340
00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:32,199
Speaker 2: that he has been in the past, and their offense

341
00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:34,119
Speaker 2: is not the dynamic threat. So he's at ninety three

342
00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:38,040
Speaker 2: nine eighty four and five, which is a far cry

343
00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:39,919
Speaker 2: from one hundred and ten thirteen hundred and ninety two,

344
00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:41,679
Speaker 2: one hundred and twenty five and nine. I mean, he

345
00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:45,280
Speaker 2: had scored thirty two touchdowns this season before that. This

346
00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:47,480
Speaker 2: will be This is his lowest total of yards since

347
00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:49,840
Speaker 2: twenty fifteen. My guess is they'll play him to get

348
00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:52,800
Speaker 2: him to one thousand. But you look at like lately

349
00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:56,400
Speaker 2: sixteen forty four, twenty eight. He hasn't scored a touchdown

350
00:17:56,960 --> 00:18:02,639
Speaker 2: since November twentieth when they played the Eagles. Jeez, was

351
00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:05,040
Speaker 2: the last time. So he's gone six straight games without

352
00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:08,199
Speaker 2: a touchdown, six straight games without one hundred yarder. He

353
00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:11,600
Speaker 2: just hasn't quite quite good the same. In fact, he's

354
00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:14,920
Speaker 2: been under sixty yards receiving in six of his last

355
00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:18,440
Speaker 2: nine games. He was over sixty or better in five

356
00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:20,960
Speaker 2: of the first six, and the only one he was

357
00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:23,320
Speaker 2: and he had a touchdown. So it's been Yeah, he's

358
00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:27,080
Speaker 2: been struggling a little bit. But so you're locked in. Yeah,

359
00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:29,720
Speaker 2: you're locked in. We will watch now. I think it's

360
00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:35,240
Speaker 2: it's interesting that they put it's interesting that they put

361
00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:40,680
Speaker 2: the Titan, I mean the Texans Colts on Saturday, cause

362
00:18:41,119 --> 00:18:43,280
Speaker 2: the Jet. If they put the Jags Titans there, that

363
00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:47,360
Speaker 2: game still had juice. And then you know the AFC South.

364
00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:50,640
Speaker 2: I think it's so interesting that they put this one

365
00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:54,440
Speaker 2: where these guys aren't necessarily sure they're playing for anything, right, Like.

366
00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:57,320
Speaker 3: No, they can still make the playoffs. There's still a

367
00:18:57,359 --> 00:18:58,320
Speaker 3: playoff spot.

368
00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:02,919
Speaker 2: So if Indy wins, they make the playoffs over the

369
00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:07,760
Speaker 2: Steel If any wins, they would be in if Houston

370
00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:12,119
Speaker 2: wins there, so whoever loses, it seems like whoever loses

371
00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:15,080
Speaker 2: in the AFC South clinch is a playoff berth. No,

372
00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:18,200
Speaker 2: no matter what if the Jags were to win christ.

373
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:21,720
Speaker 3: In Indy, the winner is in the playoffs.

374
00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:25,360
Speaker 2: Christ is the division, Yes, right, exactly.

375
00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:29,680
Speaker 3: So that's why I like that. I don't I don't

376
00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:32,639
Speaker 3: think there's any you know, the Jacksonville game still means something.

377
00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:35,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, so but I kind of like that

378
00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:38,000
Speaker 2: one first because then you know, like that sets up

379
00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:39,480
Speaker 2: for the next one to be all right, is it

380
00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:41,440
Speaker 2: just for the playoffs? But then again, it still is

381
00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:43,240
Speaker 2: a win and get in game. You just don't know

382
00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:44,600
Speaker 2: if you're the four or the.

383
00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:48,760
Speaker 3: Correct even which is a big that's a big deal

384
00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:49,800
Speaker 3: right now in the AFC.

385
00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:55,919
Speaker 2: So Buffalo is automatically and if either if either Pittsburgh

386
00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:59,320
Speaker 2: or Jacksonville loses, they're automatically in.

387
00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:03,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, and somehow they somehow the Squealers who fit were

388
00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:06,800
Speaker 3: nine and seven, winning record for the seventeenth consecutive year.

389
00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:07,639
Speaker 2: It's unbelievable.

390
00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:10,840
Speaker 3: Are are still in with a chance.

391
00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:13,840
Speaker 2: They're in with a Buffalo los. They need to win,

392
00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:16,919
Speaker 2: and then they need a Buffalo loss, a JAG's loss,

393
00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:18,760
Speaker 2: or a Houston Indie tie.

394
00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:23,480
Speaker 3: So Pittsburgh's in with a Buffalo loss and a win.

395
00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:28,120
Speaker 2: Or a Jacksonville loss. If the Steelers lose, the Jags lose,

396
00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:29,000
Speaker 2: Denver wins.

397
00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:30,480
Speaker 3: There's a lot that needs to happen.

398
00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:32,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's a lot needs to happen, but they can

399
00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:32,960
Speaker 2: still get in there for.

400
00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:36,800
Speaker 3: Thirty and knowing how that franchise works, somehow, they're going

401
00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:37,360
Speaker 3: to find a way.

402
00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:40,160
Speaker 2: So they're playing Saturday four thirty a Steelers Ravens, which

403
00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:43,320
Speaker 2: is gonna be interesting in the sense that are the

404
00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:46,199
Speaker 2: Ravens going to play or not? And then you'll get

405
00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:51,040
Speaker 2: that game, the Houston Indie game. Yeah, nice little Saturday. Yeah,

406
00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:52,600
Speaker 2: it's not a bad Saturday at all. Not a bad

407
00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:53,920
Speaker 2: way to kick it off. I mean, the good news

408
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:56,240
Speaker 2: is for the Browns is that, you know, we haven't

409
00:20:56,240 --> 00:21:00,320
Speaker 2: been in this position. This last game doesn't mean anything.

410
00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:01,640
Speaker 3: We've been in the position.

411
00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:03,720
Speaker 2: We've just been on the other side now and from

412
00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:06,080
Speaker 2: a positive standpoint, right, Yes, we've certainly been in some

413
00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:07,920
Speaker 2: meaningless Week eighteen games, but I'm talking about from a

414
00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:11,720
Speaker 2: positive standpoint where this game can't enhance our standing and

415
00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:13,479
Speaker 2: we are in the playoffs. The Browns have punched their

416
00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:16,040
Speaker 2: tickets to the playoffs. And what a special time was.

417
00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:17,960
Speaker 2: By the way, I don't know about you, that game

418
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:19,720
Speaker 2: seems like it was like a year ago to me.

419
00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:20,800
Speaker 3: Thursday.

420
00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:26,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, like a week ago. Today was the

421
00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:28,400
Speaker 2: day after Christmas. That seems insane.

422
00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:33,480
Speaker 3: So the players had the players were off and coaches too, Friday, Saturday, Sunday.

423
00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:35,880
Speaker 3: Now I know there were guys in the building on Friday,

424
00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:38,800
Speaker 3: but by early afternoon it was a ghost town here

425
00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:42,760
Speaker 3: by about two o'clock. Yep. Everybody was off Saturday and

426
00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:47,320
Speaker 3: Sunday Monday, everybody coaches back in the building. Players late

427
00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:53,679
Speaker 3: day on Monday, they had meetings lift and you know,

428
00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:58,040
Speaker 3: preparations begin for Cincinnati week. And then they were done

429
00:21:58,080 --> 00:22:02,040
Speaker 3: for the day between four five o'clock. So and they're

430
00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:05,200
Speaker 3: off today. They're back tomorrow and we turn the page.

431
00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:10,119
Speaker 2: Yep, yep, So here we go again. Tomorrow we'll have

432
00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:12,240
Speaker 2: to hear from Kevin Stefanski. We'll probably get a little

433
00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:15,720
Speaker 2: bit more insight as to, you know, what the plan

434
00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:18,879
Speaker 2: is in this game, and my guess I think we

435
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:20,520
Speaker 2: I think we pretty much have it that there will

436
00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:25,040
Speaker 2: be a lot of people not necessarily playing for the

437
00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:26,800
Speaker 2: Cleveland Brown. So when we come back, we'll run through

438
00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:28,680
Speaker 2: the playoffs again real quickly on the a FC side,

439
00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:32,800
Speaker 2: but more jack on the NFC side. You are listening

440

Speaker 2: to Cleveland Brown's Daily brought to you by bally Bet.

445
00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:13,359
Speaker 2: live in Ohio. In the AFC, if the playoffs started today,

446
00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:15,919
Speaker 2: Ravens would have a first round bye. They've already clinched

447
00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:18,240
Speaker 2: at that as a fact. If they started today, the

448
00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:20,680
Speaker 2: two seed Miami Dolphins would be hosting the seven seed

449
00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:23,960
Speaker 2: Indianapolis Colts, the three seed Chiefs would be hosting the

450
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:27,199
Speaker 2: six seed Bills, and the four seed Jags would be

451
00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:29,800
Speaker 2: hosting the five seed Cleveland Browns. But as we told

452
00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:31,960
Speaker 2: you earlier, on the AFC side, there is still a

453
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:35,320
Speaker 2: lot to decide. Who wins the AFC South, who wins

454
00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:38,399
Speaker 2: the AFC East, and then what those final two wild

455
00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:41,480
Speaker 2: card spots look like. The teams that are still alive

456
00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:45,320
Speaker 2: are the Are, the Dolphins, the Jags, the Bills, the Colts,

457
00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:51,120
Speaker 2: the Texans, and the Pittsburgh Steelers. So there you go.

458
00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:54,280
Speaker 3: It's a little there are not as many teams in

459
00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:58,119
Speaker 3: the AFC. Broncos officially out Bengals officially out.

460
00:23:58,640 --> 00:24:02,479
Speaker 2: Yeah, eliminate Raders got four and twelve, Patriots five and eleven,

461
00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:06,000
Speaker 2: Chargers five and eleven, Tennessee Titans six and ten, Jets,

462
00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:09,280
Speaker 2: seven and nine, Raiders, eight and eight Chiefs, eight and eight,

463
00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:14,040
Speaker 2: Denver Broncos. There are just right now there are four teams. Well, really,

464
00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:15,920
Speaker 2: depending on how you look at it, I guess yeah,

465
00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:19,400
Speaker 2: six teams alive for four spots. There will be two

466
00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:22,080
Speaker 2: of the ones that are they're still eligible on the

467
00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:25,320
Speaker 2: outside looking in now. In the NFC, if the playoffs

468
00:24:25,359 --> 00:24:27,800
Speaker 2: were to start today, the first round by would go

469
00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:30,080
Speaker 2: to the San Francisco forty nine Ers. By the way,

470
00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:33,640
Speaker 2: that is also set in stone that has been clinched.

471
00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:36,640
Speaker 2: The two seed would be the Dallas Cowboys. They would

472
00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:39,520
Speaker 2: host the seven seed Green Bay Packers. The three seed

473
00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:42,160
Speaker 2: would be the Detroit Lions, who, by the way, feel

474
00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:44,760
Speaker 2: like they should be the two seed. They will host

475
00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:48,320
Speaker 2: have an argument. They will host currently the LA Rams,

476
00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:50,919
Speaker 2: and then the four seed Tampa Bay Buccaneers at eight

477
00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:54,239
Speaker 2: and eight would host the five seed Philadelphia Eagles at

478
00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:58,320
Speaker 2: eleven and five if it were today, But that is

479
00:24:58,520 --> 00:25:01,199
Speaker 2: not the scenario that we got. There's still much to

480
00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:04,560
Speaker 2: be decided here in the NFC. So here's what we've got.

481
00:25:04,560 --> 00:25:07,240
Speaker 2: Here's what's clinched. Niners have won the NFC West and

482
00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:09,240
Speaker 2: they are the one seed. The Lions have won the

483
00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:12,560
Speaker 2: NFC North. The Cowboys, Rams, and Eagles have all clinched

484
00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:15,960
Speaker 2: playoff berths. So similarly, we've got two spots. So here

485
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:22,760
Speaker 2: we go the the NFC South. Atlanta clinches and Atlanta

486
00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:28,520
Speaker 2: plays New Orleans. Tampa plays Carolina. Tampa clinches with a win,

487
00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:32,600
Speaker 2: right and a Tampa loss. No, Tampa, Tampa. Tampa clinches

488
00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:39,280
Speaker 2: with a win, yes period, Yes, Uno left. We didn't

489
00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:43,359
Speaker 2: Oh no said you know, I know you were out.

490
00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:46,800
Speaker 2: But it's twenty twenty four. We've got to be moving forward.

491
00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:48,119
Speaker 2: We've got to be better better than this.

492
00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:48,800
Speaker 3: They're bad.

493
00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:50,439
Speaker 2: Did you see on the rundown? Read the rundown?

494
00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:52,040
Speaker 3: Did I screw that up?

495
00:25:52,280 --> 00:25:54,520
Speaker 2: And if you if it's Gibe's fault, air that grievous,

496
00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:55,120
Speaker 2: I don't.

497
00:25:55,280 --> 00:25:57,720
Speaker 7: Really know whose fault it is because I he did

498
00:25:57,720 --> 00:25:59,840
Speaker 7: that segment, but then I had to do the formatting

499
00:25:59,840 --> 00:26:01,399
Speaker 7: for it because it was all out of wax.

500
00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:05,200
Speaker 2: It's probably it's probably a combination. Yeah, So so far,

501
00:26:05,359 --> 00:26:09,320
Speaker 2: me and Griff are unblemished. Yeah, Tampa clinches with a win.

502
00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:13,639
Speaker 2: Back from the dead. All right, So Tampa clinches with

503
00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:18,640
Speaker 2: a win. If Tampa loses, Atlanta clinches with a win,

504
00:26:19,040 --> 00:26:22,960
Speaker 2: and the Tampa loss, New Orleans would clinch. Then the

505
00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:25,359
Speaker 2: New Orleans plays Atlanta. If Tampa lows is the winner

506
00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:32,600
Speaker 2: of Atlanta, New Orleans wins, the NFC South Gross If

507
00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:35,280
Speaker 2: Tampa lows is the winner of Atlanta, New Orleans and

508
00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:38,239
Speaker 2: that's in Atlanta would clinch Sunday at one o'clock. By

509
00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:41,240
Speaker 2: the way, the NFC South by the ways on CBS.

510
00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:44,399
Speaker 2: By the way, if the if the Falcons, if the

511
00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:48,440
Speaker 2: Bucks lose and the Falcons win, they will the winner

512
00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:54,159
Speaker 2: of that division will be eight and nine. That is that,

513
00:26:55,440 --> 00:26:58,040
Speaker 2: and somehow they hit a home game. If the Bucks win,

514
00:26:58,240 --> 00:27:01,080
Speaker 2: get a home game. If the Bucks, they will be

515
00:27:01,200 --> 00:27:05,399
Speaker 2: nine and eight. If the Bucks lose and the Saints

516
00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:07,919
Speaker 2: when they will also beat nine and eight. All right,

517
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:11,760
Speaker 2: Dallas Cowboys, they clinch the and they play Washington. They

518
00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:15,320
Speaker 2: clinch the NFC the East with a win or a

519
00:27:15,359 --> 00:27:20,240
Speaker 2: Philly loss. The Eagles can clinch the NFC East Division

520
00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:23,280
Speaker 2: title with a win and a Dallas loss downas Giants

521
00:27:23,280 --> 00:27:25,520
Speaker 2: see both of those teams should win their games, correct

522
00:27:25,520 --> 00:27:27,920
Speaker 2: Eagles and Giants, which means the Eagles will stay five seed,

523
00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:32,000
Speaker 2: the Cowboys will stay most likely the two seed. Well,

524
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:33,720
Speaker 2: they would say the two seed. They would clinch that

525
00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:37,240
Speaker 2: up all right. For the wild card stuff, what's still

526
00:27:37,320 --> 00:27:46,120
Speaker 2: up is green Bay, Minnesota, New Orleans, Settle, Seattle are

527
00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:49,520
Speaker 2: all still alive for the wild card. So what would

528
00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:51,679
Speaker 2: have to happen here? Start with green Bay. They're in

529
00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:55,960
Speaker 2: with a win, that's it. Or they win Seattle they tie,

530
00:27:56,440 --> 00:27:59,920
Speaker 2: Seattle loses, New Orleans loses or tie, or they're in

531
00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:04,399
Speaker 2: with a Minnesota loss, a Seattle loss, and a Tampa

532
00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:08,080
Speaker 2: or New Orleans loss. Basically, Packers when they're in Minnesota

533
00:28:08,080 --> 00:28:12,119
Speaker 2: would get in with a Vikings win, a green Bay loss,

534
00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:15,240
Speaker 2: a Seattle loss, and a Tampa or New Orleans loss.

535
00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:18,760
Speaker 3: The Vikings are quite the uphill battle. Yes, the Vikings

536
00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:20,440
Speaker 3: are on the outside looking at right now.

537
00:28:20,480 --> 00:28:24,440
Speaker 2: New Orleans gets in if they win and Seattle and

538
00:28:24,520 --> 00:28:27,919
Speaker 2: Green Bay both lose, and green Bay plays Chicago.

539
00:28:28,800 --> 00:28:31,520
Speaker 3: That's not a gimme, given how Chicago's played so far.

540
00:28:31,440 --> 00:28:33,920
Speaker 2: In Chicago, I mean, in green Bay.

541
00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:36,680
Speaker 3: Versus nothing more than to ruin that party for sure.

542
00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:38,880
Speaker 2: Think about last year is the Lions who ruined green

543
00:28:38,920 --> 00:28:42,680
Speaker 2: Bay's party at green Bay so and then Seattle is

544
00:28:42,800 --> 00:28:46,880
Speaker 2: at Arizona frisky, frisky, the Cardinals are frisky. The Cardinals

545
00:28:46,920 --> 00:28:49,800
Speaker 2: are pretty frisky. So Seattle is in if they win

546
00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:53,600
Speaker 2: and green Bay loses, that's basically what they need. So

547
00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:55,840
Speaker 2: there's still is there's still some drama here to go

548
00:28:56,040 --> 00:28:58,560
Speaker 2: in the NFC, and a lot of it changed because

549
00:28:58,560 --> 00:29:01,480
Speaker 2: of that outcome on Saturday Night. I would love to

550
00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:04,440
Speaker 2: get I mean, the statement to me that tells you

551
00:29:04,440 --> 00:29:06,480
Speaker 2: all you need knows that that officiating crew is out

552
00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:09,000
Speaker 2: of the playoffs. But I would love to have somebody

553
00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:11,080
Speaker 2: actually like say what happens.

554
00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:14,360
Speaker 3: Well, it goes back to this. You know, when something

555
00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:19,920
Speaker 3: happens in an officiated like an officiating question mark, it's

556
00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:24,040
Speaker 3: basically after a game ends, there is one reporter that

557
00:29:24,120 --> 00:29:28,880
Speaker 3: has designated the officiating pool reporter, So there's only one

558
00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:31,640
Speaker 3: reporter that gets to go in and meet with the

559
00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:34,160
Speaker 3: head official and ask him questions.

560
00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:38,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, but apparently that I But.

561
00:29:37,320 --> 00:29:42,240
Speaker 3: What I'm saying is like, you should put those gets,

562
00:29:42,240 --> 00:29:44,160
Speaker 3: you should put an entire referee and crew up on

563
00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:46,640
Speaker 3: the podium, and I'll let the media have at it

564
00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:51,400
Speaker 3: like this goes back to officials need to be full

565
00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:55,600
Speaker 3: time employees. Yep, Like we can't have them be on

566
00:29:55,680 --> 00:29:59,400
Speaker 3: a per game basis. Give up your jobs, yes, and

567
00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:01,440
Speaker 3: be held accountable.

568
00:30:02,680 --> 00:30:05,640
Speaker 2: Have we gotten any information on the things that happened

569
00:30:05,640 --> 00:30:09,080
Speaker 2: in our game that seemed insane? I mean, if we do,

570
00:30:09,480 --> 00:30:11,480
Speaker 2: you and I don't know about those things. Yeah, I'm

571
00:30:11,520 --> 00:30:14,480
Speaker 2: just kidding, like we don't. They use that sky judge

572
00:30:14,480 --> 00:30:16,960
Speaker 2: in ways that it has not been.

573
00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:17,720
Speaker 6: Used somehow.

574
00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:22,120
Speaker 3: Twelve Yeah, you can't reverse.

575
00:30:21,760 --> 00:30:26,040
Speaker 2: That, and I'm sorry when they they they ultimately got

576
00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:27,800
Speaker 2: the right Callso in theory, I don't have a problem

577
00:30:27,800 --> 00:30:29,440
Speaker 2: with that. On the Pierre Strong fumble, but that guy

578
00:30:29,440 --> 00:30:31,680
Speaker 2: blew that playdad, Yes, and there you're not supposed to

579
00:30:31,720 --> 00:30:34,680
Speaker 2: because once you blow the playdad's not reviewable. Correct. But

580
00:30:34,760 --> 00:30:36,160
Speaker 2: in that case, he blew the play dead and then

581
00:30:36,200 --> 00:30:39,120
Speaker 2: it somehow was reviewable even though it's a horrific call

582
00:30:39,240 --> 00:30:42,720
Speaker 2: and he did fumble. But it's just got to be consistent.

583
00:30:42,760 --> 00:30:44,440
Speaker 2: I'm fine with them using the sky judge to just

584
00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:45,480
Speaker 2: flat out get it right.

585
00:30:46,160 --> 00:30:47,560
Speaker 3: Fine, but then tell me the.

586
00:30:47,600 --> 00:30:50,080
Speaker 2: Man on the field is not that's not revealable.

587
00:30:50,200 --> 00:30:53,800
Speaker 3: No, out of nowhere. He's like, he's meeting, He's meeting.

588
00:30:53,840 --> 00:30:56,000
Speaker 3: I'm like, okay, what is this about. Yeah, we think

589
00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:59,000
Speaker 3: it's one thing. And then he throws a flag. Yeah, oh,

590
00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:01,200
Speaker 3: there's twelve men on the field. Now, we saw it

591
00:31:01,240 --> 00:31:03,600
Speaker 3: on the replay that there was twelve men. I knew

592
00:31:03,680 --> 00:31:08,080
Speaker 3: right away is that Darius hadn't gotten off the football field, but.

593
00:31:08,360 --> 00:31:09,400
Speaker 2: Still by a toe.

594
00:31:09,560 --> 00:31:10,400
Speaker 3: Yeah.

595
00:31:10,520 --> 00:31:13,600
Speaker 2: But like again, if you didn't throw in the flag

596
00:31:13,720 --> 00:31:16,840
Speaker 2: in that moment, you can't go back and change that.

597
00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:19,720
Speaker 2: To your point, though, the ratings are the highest they've

598
00:31:19,720 --> 00:31:22,360
Speaker 2: ever are the highest they've ever been. The money that

599
00:31:22,520 --> 00:31:25,680
Speaker 2: is around this league, obviously with not just TV but

600
00:31:25,720 --> 00:31:28,400
Speaker 2: with gambling now is the highest that it's ever been.

601
00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:31,760
Speaker 2: They need to get the officiating right.

602
00:31:31,880 --> 00:31:32,720
Speaker 3: In the playoffs.

603
00:31:33,080 --> 00:31:35,520
Speaker 2: Well you can leading up to the pluffs, you can't.

604
00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:39,400
Speaker 2: Right now, there's an alternate universe that exists where the

605
00:31:39,400 --> 00:31:42,080
Speaker 2: Lions should be the two seeded. Yeah, and so we're

606
00:31:42,120 --> 00:31:46,160
Speaker 2: not going to necessarily get to know how that version

607
00:31:46,200 --> 00:31:51,600
Speaker 2: of the playoffs unfolded. So that's the part about to me,

608
00:31:51,640 --> 00:31:53,920
Speaker 2: that's tough because it never that's something that can't be

609
00:31:53,960 --> 00:31:55,840
Speaker 2: made up. And now there are plenty of calls throughout

610
00:31:55,880 --> 00:31:58,600
Speaker 2: games that happened. Like the thing to me that it's

611
00:31:58,720 --> 00:32:01,280
Speaker 2: for example, where the sky Remember Amari Cooper caught the

612
00:32:01,320 --> 00:32:03,160
Speaker 2: touchdown against Tennessee and the guy said he stepped out

613
00:32:03,160 --> 00:32:05,760
Speaker 2: of bounds even though he's inbounds by a couple of feet. Yes,

614
00:32:06,080 --> 00:32:08,080
Speaker 2: Like that's one where they should be like entering the touchdown.

615
00:32:08,320 --> 00:32:10,360
Speaker 2: Now they well, we blew a dead Well, then it's

616
00:32:10,360 --> 00:32:11,760
Speaker 2: got to be one or the other. But there should

617
00:32:11,760 --> 00:32:13,960
Speaker 2: have been. There's got to be recourse for that. Just

618
00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:16,440
Speaker 2: get it right. Make the officials be full time. That's

619
00:32:16,520 --> 00:32:18,640
Speaker 2: all they should do is be NFL officials. And by

620
00:32:18,680 --> 00:32:22,160
Speaker 2: the way, they should be compensated plenty for them to be,

621
00:32:22,840 --> 00:32:26,640
Speaker 2: Like there's they already are money to go around. Yeah,

622
00:32:26,680 --> 00:32:29,720
Speaker 2: and then the sky judge we need to kind of say, look,

623
00:32:29,920 --> 00:32:32,000
Speaker 2: is the goal to just get everything right? Yes, I

624
00:32:32,040 --> 00:32:33,920
Speaker 2: think that would be the goal. Then let the sky

625
00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:35,720
Speaker 2: judge be involved in doing that. I think you'd have

626
00:32:35,760 --> 00:32:38,239
Speaker 2: no problem with that. Think you have no problems at all.

627
00:32:38,280 --> 00:32:41,120
Speaker 2: I don't even know, Like, if the sky judge is involved,

628
00:32:41,640 --> 00:32:45,560
Speaker 2: how much of a replay like system do you need? Yeah, yeah,

629
00:32:46,480 --> 00:32:48,800
Speaker 2: especially when they can turn it around as quickly as

630
00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:51,720
Speaker 2: they can. Well, this guy judge with some things. Yeah,

631
00:32:51,720 --> 00:32:54,840
Speaker 2: and you're seeing that. Yeah, and it's funny watching the games,

632
00:32:54,880 --> 00:32:57,840
Speaker 2: like you know, I don't. We don't often get to

633
00:32:57,840 --> 00:32:59,840
Speaker 2: just sit there and watch a full Sunday slate. No,

634
00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:03,000
Speaker 2: but you saw it being applied in various ways around

635
00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:05,480
Speaker 2: the league, Like some replays would take a long time

636
00:33:05,520 --> 00:33:07,560
Speaker 2: that were pretty obvious, and some would be super fast

637
00:33:07,560 --> 00:33:11,040
Speaker 2: because you're they're just like, yeah, no, I don't know.

638
00:33:11,640 --> 00:33:14,360
Speaker 2: Did you see Mike McDaniel talking about the Browns and

639
00:33:14,400 --> 00:33:17,240
Speaker 2: how cool it is they were love that guy. Yeah,

640
00:33:17,280 --> 00:33:18,040
Speaker 2: that's very cool.

641
00:33:18,720 --> 00:33:19,040
Speaker 6: Yeah.

642
00:33:19,080 --> 00:33:21,640
Speaker 2: But by the way the Ravens stomped.

643
00:33:21,240 --> 00:33:24,560
Speaker 3: Them, Well we'll get to that one thought. But my goodness,

644
00:33:25,440 --> 00:33:29,400
Speaker 3: that that's all I wanted to watch on Sunday. I

645
00:33:29,440 --> 00:33:31,440
Speaker 3: was like, yeah, I just want to watch that game.

646
00:33:31,800 --> 00:33:34,400
Speaker 2: When Tyreek Hill dropped the touchdown on the second drive

647
00:33:34,440 --> 00:33:36,360
Speaker 2: where like he never drops at and it was a

648
00:33:36,360 --> 00:33:39,800
Speaker 2: perfect little just floater, I was like, Okay, that's that

649
00:33:39,840 --> 00:33:40,720
Speaker 2: doesn't feel good.

650
00:33:40,840 --> 00:33:44,040
Speaker 3: No, because you couldn't. That was a game that you

651
00:33:44,120 --> 00:33:45,880
Speaker 3: could not go field goal.

652
00:33:46,120 --> 00:33:49,479
Speaker 2: So I had I had a Fantasy championship going on.

653
00:33:49,880 --> 00:33:53,040
Speaker 2: I had to I made two finals. One of them.

654
00:33:53,080 --> 00:33:55,920
Speaker 2: I had my quarterback all year had been Trevor Lawrence.

655
00:33:56,200 --> 00:33:58,120
Speaker 2: We had most shirt, we had Waddle, and we had

656
00:33:58,120 --> 00:34:00,840
Speaker 2: t J. Hawkins. And so in the fire we started

657
00:34:01,200 --> 00:34:04,360
Speaker 2: four people basically off the waiver wire, which was not ideal,

658
00:34:04,560 --> 00:34:07,840
Speaker 2: not enjoyable at all. And then we lost that one

659
00:34:07,920 --> 00:34:09,880
Speaker 2: and then the other one I won. It was funny.

660
00:34:10,360 --> 00:34:13,200
Speaker 2: The official Nana was over and she was, you know.

661
00:34:13,160 --> 00:34:14,000
Speaker 3: Who are we rooting for?

662
00:34:14,080 --> 00:34:17,680
Speaker 2: And we're like the Dolphins, I think, And then Zay

663
00:34:17,680 --> 00:34:20,160
Speaker 2: Flowers on the other league. I was in Zay Flowers

664
00:34:20,680 --> 00:34:22,839
Speaker 2: when he went for the seventy five yard house call.

665
00:34:22,920 --> 00:34:24,719
Speaker 2: I was jumping up and down, screaming and calling my

666
00:34:24,760 --> 00:34:26,799
Speaker 2: buddy and we were screaming at each other, and my

667
00:34:26,800 --> 00:34:31,640
Speaker 2: mom's like, you're a trader Fantasy super Bowl and this

668
00:34:32,160 --> 00:34:34,600
Speaker 2: tryumph trumps all of that for right now. I said,

669
00:34:34,600 --> 00:34:37,080
Speaker 2: I'd finally let the Dolphins come back. I'll root for that.

670
00:34:37,160 --> 00:34:39,759
Speaker 2: But part of me also wonders, while we wanted the

671
00:34:39,800 --> 00:34:41,640
Speaker 2: dream to be alive, that it's still is going to

672
00:34:41,680 --> 00:34:43,880
Speaker 2: be very unlikely. It feels like that the bread that

673
00:34:43,960 --> 00:34:46,520
Speaker 2: the brit I don't think the Ravens playing to win,

674
00:34:46,560 --> 00:34:48,839
Speaker 2: the difference between being the one seed and the five

675
00:34:48,880 --> 00:34:50,640
Speaker 2: Seed are losing at home to the Steelers, just the

676
00:34:50,680 --> 00:34:52,600
Speaker 2: way they're playing. Correct, thing that they are right now,

677
00:34:52,920 --> 00:34:55,840
Speaker 2: Happy New Year, she's.

678
00:34:55,680 --> 00:34:57,680
Speaker 3: Living the sweet life. Yeah, leave it already.

679
00:34:57,800 --> 00:34:58,439
Speaker 2: How about it?

680
00:34:58,480 --> 00:34:59,000
Speaker 3: Good for her?

681
00:34:59,200 --> 00:35:02,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, gotta love it. Yeah, But you know, I think

682
00:35:02,920 --> 00:35:04,479
Speaker 2: I think the fact that we know what the deal

683
00:35:04,560 --> 00:35:06,640
Speaker 2: is and we're gonna have an opportunity to get healthy,

684
00:35:06,719 --> 00:35:08,919
Speaker 2: I think is a good thing. Now, this game would

685
00:35:08,920 --> 00:35:10,960
Speaker 2: have been real interesting if it meant something only to

686
00:35:11,040 --> 00:35:13,400
Speaker 2: us and not the Bengals, how they would have approached it.

687
00:35:14,920 --> 00:35:16,520
Speaker 3: But it is what it is.

688
00:35:16,560 --> 00:35:18,239
Speaker 2: It doesn't mean anything. That's what we're gonna do.

689
00:35:18,400 --> 00:35:18,440
Speaker 4: That.

690
00:35:18,880 --> 00:35:23,080
Speaker 3: The way I looked at it was if the Dolphins win, Okay,

691
00:35:23,280 --> 00:35:27,520
Speaker 3: Week eighteen gets a little more interesting. If the Ravens win,

692
00:35:27,640 --> 00:35:29,960
Speaker 3: it sucks, but it's also like a chance for us

693
00:35:29,960 --> 00:35:30,520
Speaker 3: to get healthy.

694
00:35:30,600 --> 00:35:34,320
Speaker 2: It's all set. Hopefully it's all set exactly. Yes, indeed,

695
00:35:34,320 --> 00:35:35,880
Speaker 2: it is all right. When we come back, we'll do

696
00:35:35,880 --> 00:35:39,359
Speaker 2: a little after further review. Four things that stood out

697
00:35:39,360 --> 00:35:41,520
Speaker 2: on offense, Four things that sit out on defense from

698
00:35:41,520 --> 00:35:43,720
Speaker 2: the Browns win over the Jets, which feels like an attorney.

699
00:35:43,719 --> 00:35:45,160
Speaker 2: It wasn't even a week ago. I dont understand it.

700
00:35:45,400 --> 00:35:49,319
Speaker 2: Feels like it was. Yeah, ages and ages ago, but

701
00:35:49,360 --> 00:35:51,160
Speaker 2: that's where we are, right. We'll do that when we

712
00:36:51,239 --> 00:36:54,200
Speaker 3: I know it was like five days in review, but

713
00:36:54,360 --> 00:36:55,920
Speaker 3: still it was a long We should have put it

714
00:36:55,960 --> 00:36:58,360
Speaker 3: to bed. Yeah, it was a glorious night.

715
00:37:00,200 --> 00:37:01,680
Speaker 2: To relive it. I think we should have. I think

716
00:37:01,680 --> 00:37:04,719
Speaker 2: today's show should have just been a replay of the broadcast.

717
00:37:05,239 --> 00:37:06,479
Speaker 3: Trying to get that day off.

718
00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:08,600
Speaker 2: Well, I tiven for that just I mean, I feel like,

719
00:37:09,239 --> 00:37:10,879
Speaker 2: right now, let's be hosest about it. We're a little

720
00:37:10,920 --> 00:37:15,000
Speaker 2: we're kind of it's awesome. We're a Brown team. And

721
00:37:15,280 --> 00:37:17,719
Speaker 2: treading water right now, waiting for the Week one of

722
00:37:17,760 --> 00:37:19,920
Speaker 2: the playoffs, which is cool. It's what a position to

723
00:37:19,960 --> 00:37:21,400
Speaker 2: be in. We haven't been so lucky to be in

724
00:37:21,440 --> 00:37:26,480
Speaker 2: that position. It's awesome. But here we are, all right.

725
00:37:26,719 --> 00:37:33,640
Speaker 2: After further review number one, After further review Joe Flacco,

726
00:37:34,080 --> 00:37:38,080
Speaker 2: We're gonna start with Joe Flacco. Joe Flacco. We know

727
00:37:38,120 --> 00:37:40,360
Speaker 2: that he threw for the three hundred yards snap that

728
00:37:40,400 --> 00:37:43,160
Speaker 2: thirty three game streak. We know how effective he's been.

729
00:37:43,239 --> 00:37:45,759
Speaker 2: We know what he did, you know under pressure in

730
00:37:45,760 --> 00:37:48,160
Speaker 2: this game where he was unbelievable five of eight for

731
00:37:48,239 --> 00:37:50,359
Speaker 2: ninety one yards with a touchdown and a quarterback rating

732
00:37:50,400 --> 00:37:52,520
Speaker 2: of one fourteen. He was great from a clean pocket.

733
00:37:52,800 --> 00:37:54,400
Speaker 2: But what we're gonna talk about for a second is

734
00:37:54,440 --> 00:37:59,000
Speaker 2: Joe Flacco off a play action Joe Black average twelve

735
00:37:59,040 --> 00:38:02,319
Speaker 2: point three yards per attempt. He threw a touchdown off

736
00:38:02,320 --> 00:38:05,400
Speaker 2: of play action. And one of the reasons why I

737
00:38:05,440 --> 00:38:07,920
Speaker 2: think Joe Flacco has been so good this year is

738
00:38:07,960 --> 00:38:10,000
Speaker 2: on the play action. It's not just the scheme and

739
00:38:10,040 --> 00:38:12,839
Speaker 2: what's being designed by Kevin Stefanski, which is very, very good.

740
00:38:13,200 --> 00:38:16,120
Speaker 2: It's his ball handling. It's the way he executes these

741
00:38:16,120 --> 00:38:18,839
Speaker 2: hard play actions, the fact that he really sells them,

742
00:38:18,840 --> 00:38:20,799
Speaker 2: and I thought, no better example than the one where

743
00:38:20,800 --> 00:38:23,120
Speaker 2: he faked the handoff, kind of tucked the ball, stood

744
00:38:23,160 --> 00:38:25,080
Speaker 2: like he was still, and then rolled out to the

745
00:38:25,120 --> 00:38:27,160
Speaker 2: left and hit Jordan Akins. That was just that is

746
00:38:27,239 --> 00:38:30,520
Speaker 2: poetry right there. That is art. Joe Flacco. The play

747
00:38:30,560 --> 00:38:33,560
Speaker 2: action game has been unbelievable for him. And you look

748
00:38:33,600 --> 00:38:37,400
Speaker 2: at for this whole season for Joe Flacco in terms

749
00:38:37,400 --> 00:38:39,080
Speaker 2: of what he's been able to do off of play

750
00:38:39,160 --> 00:38:42,319
Speaker 2: action for the season, sixty four percent, twelve point eight

751
00:38:42,360 --> 00:38:44,920
Speaker 2: yards per attempt, seven touchdowns, three picks, one hundred and

752
00:38:45,040 --> 00:38:49,000
Speaker 2: twenty three quarterback rating. I mean, he has just been

753
00:38:49,520 --> 00:38:54,160
Speaker 2: sensational off of play action. Six big time throws, just stunning.

754
00:38:54,160 --> 00:38:56,920
Speaker 2: And it's a combination of his ability to take that

755
00:38:57,000 --> 00:38:59,719
Speaker 2: pre snap pitcher, turn his back to the defense, come around,

756
00:38:59,719 --> 00:39:02,120
Speaker 2: get it quick picture, know what to do with the football,

757
00:39:02,480 --> 00:39:05,640
Speaker 2: and then do it and make spectacular throws. But it's

758
00:39:05,680 --> 00:39:08,680
Speaker 2: a hard action. Is creating a lot of space in

759
00:39:08,680 --> 00:39:15,320
Speaker 2: that ten to nineteen yard window. Number two, after further review,

760
00:39:18,080 --> 00:39:24,000
Speaker 2: Elijah Moore in this game I thought was spectacular. I

761
00:39:24,040 --> 00:39:27,800
Speaker 2: thought Elijah Moore, the way that he stepped in for

762
00:39:27,880 --> 00:39:30,880
Speaker 2: Amari Cooper and really was the number one receiver, and

763
00:39:30,960 --> 00:39:33,319
Speaker 2: quite frankly, it was kind of obvious when he went

764
00:39:33,360 --> 00:39:36,640
Speaker 2: out right this offense, the passing attack. When he went out,

765
00:39:36,920 --> 00:39:39,200
Speaker 2: the passing attack went way down. Now, game flow had

766
00:39:39,200 --> 00:39:42,960
Speaker 2: something to do with that as well. But Elijah Moore

767
00:39:43,040 --> 00:39:45,200
Speaker 2: in that opportunity, now that we know that he's doing

768
00:39:45,200 --> 00:39:49,040
Speaker 2: all right, stepped up big. Six catches in the first half,

769
00:39:49,239 --> 00:39:53,600
Speaker 2: five target, six targets, five catches, sixty one yards in

770
00:39:53,600 --> 00:39:56,319
Speaker 2: a touchdown. Not to mention, the opening playoff of the

771
00:39:56,400 --> 00:39:59,960
Speaker 2: game on offense for US was a perfectly legal fourteen

772
00:40:00,120 --> 00:40:02,080
Speaker 2: yard catcher. So to Elijah more So it should have

773
00:40:02,120 --> 00:40:03,640
Speaker 2: been six for seventy five in a touchdown in the

774
00:40:03,680 --> 00:40:06,160
Speaker 2: first half. They called offense passing Farenzon one of the

775
00:40:06,680 --> 00:40:08,799
Speaker 2: in a weekend of some crazy bad calls, that was

776
00:40:08,880 --> 00:40:12,160
Speaker 2: maybe one of the worst. I thought that he was.

777
00:40:13,320 --> 00:40:15,319
Speaker 2: He was sensational and you got a glimpse of what

778
00:40:15,440 --> 00:40:20,160
Speaker 2: he could be, you know, obviously in a situation where

779
00:40:20,160 --> 00:40:22,239
Speaker 2: he's counted on more to be the main guy.

780
00:40:22,400 --> 00:40:24,560
Speaker 3: Twelve point two yards per reception, man.

781
00:40:24,520 --> 00:40:27,279
Speaker 2: Yep, solid five or sixty one in the touch love it.

782
00:40:27,520 --> 00:40:31,239
Speaker 3: Yeah, And he's got the chemistry with Flacco, Yes he is.

783
00:40:31,480 --> 00:40:36,160
Speaker 3: Just as we get further into this, he will become

784
00:40:36,360 --> 00:40:40,400
Speaker 3: just as important as Amari Cooper and David Nijoku because

785
00:40:40,440 --> 00:40:44,200
Speaker 3: you need that third option. Yep, you gotta find it somewhere.

786
00:40:44,200 --> 00:40:47,399
Speaker 3: Maybe it's Jerome Ford, maybe it's him, but you've got

787
00:40:47,400 --> 00:40:48,400
Speaker 3: to find a third option.

788
00:40:48,560 --> 00:40:50,759
Speaker 2: Well. I think it's kind of amazing that David Ajoku's

789
00:40:50,800 --> 00:40:54,680
Speaker 2: three of his four single game best single games of

790
00:40:54,719 --> 00:40:57,680
Speaker 2: his career have happened with Joe Flacco. Elijah, two of

791
00:40:57,719 --> 00:40:59,920
Speaker 2: his three best career games have happened with Joe Flacco.

792
00:41:00,440 --> 00:41:02,480
Speaker 2: All right, those are top two, speaking of the Chief.

793
00:41:02,600 --> 00:41:06,680
Speaker 2: Number three after further review, just an elite tight end.

794
00:41:06,719 --> 00:41:08,440
Speaker 2: I realized he finished with one thirty four, had one

795
00:41:08,520 --> 00:41:10,640
Speaker 2: hundred plus in the first quarter, was on pace. It

796
00:41:10,680 --> 00:41:12,200
Speaker 2: was the first Browns tight end to ever do that.

797
00:41:13,080 --> 00:41:14,800
Speaker 2: But it was the fact that he came up huge

798
00:41:14,800 --> 00:41:17,600
Speaker 2: on third downs. First drive, third and fifteen. He gets

799
00:41:17,600 --> 00:41:20,000
Speaker 2: the first down, second drive, third and twelve, the one

800
00:41:20,040 --> 00:41:22,480
Speaker 2: handed catch runs us down and then the Browns were

801
00:41:22,480 --> 00:41:24,920
Speaker 2: in business. That those are the money downs in the NFL.

802
00:41:25,200 --> 00:41:27,359
Speaker 2: Eight targets, six catches, one hundred and thirty four yards

803
00:41:27,400 --> 00:41:30,120
Speaker 2: average twenty two yards per catch, and think about what

804
00:41:30,160 --> 00:41:32,600
Speaker 2: he was able to do after the run. After the catch.

805
00:41:32,600 --> 00:41:34,520
Speaker 2: He's been the best yack tight end in the league.

806
00:41:34,920 --> 00:41:37,560
Speaker 2: He's one of the best blocking tight ends. He's unbelievable.

807
00:41:37,680 --> 00:41:40,880
Speaker 3: It was forty seven yards short of the record tight.

808
00:41:40,760 --> 00:41:43,640
Speaker 2: End record first single season for the Browns, no single game,

809
00:41:43,880 --> 00:41:44,880
Speaker 2: single game for the Brounce.

810
00:41:44,920 --> 00:41:47,680
Speaker 3: How's he knew soon? Yeah, he's got to be eighty one,

811
00:41:47,840 --> 00:41:49,200
Speaker 3: so you needed forty eight.

812
00:41:49,920 --> 00:41:51,520
Speaker 2: He was right, he had a chance, but I think

813
00:41:51,560 --> 00:41:53,160
Speaker 2: I think it was a different game script. He may

814
00:41:53,200 --> 00:41:54,799
Speaker 2: have gotten there, but we didn't necessarily need to throw

815
00:41:54,800 --> 00:41:55,960
Speaker 2: the ball in the second half. We just needed a

816
00:41:56,040 --> 00:41:58,400
Speaker 2: tick tick tick tick, a really roll and the Browns

817
00:41:58,440 --> 00:42:00,719
Speaker 2: were able to do that all right. Number four, After

818
00:42:00,920 --> 00:42:06,319
Speaker 2: further review, I thought the backs in this game played very,

819
00:42:06,520 --> 00:42:09,000
Speaker 2: very well. Jerome Ford twelve carries for sixty four yards,

820
00:42:09,040 --> 00:42:10,919
Speaker 2: but then out of the backfield two for fifty seven

821
00:42:10,960 --> 00:42:14,799
Speaker 2: and two touchdowns. Kareem Hunt exploded on that touchdown run.

822
00:42:14,880 --> 00:42:16,279
Speaker 2: That's the best I think we've seen him look in

823
00:42:16,280 --> 00:42:18,520
Speaker 2: a while. He had ten for thirty one in a touchdown,

824
00:42:19,520 --> 00:42:22,240
Speaker 2: and then Pierre Strong just hold onto the ball Pierre,

825
00:42:22,840 --> 00:42:25,799
Speaker 2: help us, help you, but he looks so dangerous. Four

826
00:42:25,840 --> 00:42:28,600
Speaker 2: carries twenty nine yards seven point three of pop. He continues.

827
00:42:29,040 --> 00:42:31,880
Speaker 2: Ford leads the team in rushing yards, Kareem leads the

828
00:42:31,920 --> 00:42:34,040
Speaker 2: team in rushing touchdowns. He has a career high nine,

829
00:42:34,239 --> 00:42:36,520
Speaker 2: and Pierre Strong leads in yards per carry. He's just

830
00:42:36,560 --> 00:42:38,560
Speaker 2: got to hold onto the football. But that was the

831
00:42:38,640 --> 00:42:40,799
Speaker 2: other thing. Stop turning the ball over.

832
00:42:40,920 --> 00:42:41,240
Speaker 3: Please.

833
00:42:41,640 --> 00:42:44,600
Speaker 2: We put the ball on the ground four times in

834
00:42:44,680 --> 00:42:47,080
Speaker 2: this game, lost two of them. Chief lost fumble, Pierre

835
00:42:47,120 --> 00:42:49,719
Speaker 2: lost the fumble. Joe Flacco had two fumbles but didn't

836
00:42:49,719 --> 00:42:52,000
Speaker 2: lose any of them. And then we had the one interception,

837
00:42:53,320 --> 00:42:55,400
Speaker 2: which was a kind of an incredible play by Jermaine Johnson.

838
00:42:55,440 --> 00:42:57,719
Speaker 2: But the Browns needed to stop turning the football over.

839
00:42:57,760 --> 00:42:59,880
Speaker 2: Brun stop turning the football over. There's no limit to

840
00:43:00,080 --> 00:43:03,000
Speaker 2: what this team is capable of doing. Now, you'd say, yeah,

841
00:43:03,040 --> 00:43:06,960
Speaker 2: but we turn it over and we're eleven and five anyway, true, true,

842
00:43:08,480 --> 00:43:09,880
Speaker 2: we're three and four on the road. I have a

843
00:43:09,960 --> 00:43:11,120
Speaker 2: chance to get to four and four on the road,

844
00:43:11,160 --> 00:43:12,680
Speaker 2: and we're gonna have to win on the road the

845
00:43:12,760 --> 00:43:14,160
Speaker 2: rest of the way. Pretty much. Now, there are some

846
00:43:14,239 --> 00:43:17,200
Speaker 2: scenarios where we could end up posting like THEFC Championship game,

847
00:43:17,280 --> 00:43:19,920
Speaker 2: but it's more likely that we're gonna have to go

848
00:43:19,920 --> 00:43:21,000
Speaker 2: out on the road. And when you go on the road,

849
00:43:21,040 --> 00:43:22,279
Speaker 2: you got to take care of the football. You can't

850
00:43:22,320 --> 00:43:26,080
Speaker 2: give away easy touchdowns on the other side. All right,

851
00:43:26,719 --> 00:43:33,279
Speaker 2: to the defense, we go after further review. All Right,

852
00:43:33,400 --> 00:43:39,799
Speaker 2: number one, how about Alex Right. Alex Right, Obo goes down. Yeah,

853
00:43:40,400 --> 00:43:42,880
Speaker 2: Alex Right now has a sack in three straight games.

854
00:43:43,280 --> 00:43:45,280
Speaker 2: He's got a career high four sacks on the season.

855
00:43:45,640 --> 00:43:47,960
Speaker 2: He has stepped up in a major, major way and

856
00:43:48,200 --> 00:43:50,399
Speaker 2: it's been awesome. Made the great play on the run

857
00:43:50,520 --> 00:43:52,640
Speaker 2: against in Chicago on that third down when they try

858
00:43:52,680 --> 00:43:55,080
Speaker 2: to run the Jets sweep, he's getting to the quarterback.

859
00:43:55,640 --> 00:43:56,720
Speaker 3: Had a pass defense.

860
00:43:57,400 --> 00:44:00,759
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, he's very good at daddy sacka tackle for

861
00:44:00,760 --> 00:44:02,719
Speaker 2: a loss. I think Alex Right, the way that he

862
00:44:02,840 --> 00:44:08,400
Speaker 2: has played has become a big, big deal for this

863
00:44:08,480 --> 00:44:10,880
Speaker 2: football team. Yeah, because you needed that third guy and

864
00:44:10,960 --> 00:44:13,239
Speaker 2: he stepped up. Obo. You know, you hope you get

865
00:44:13,280 --> 00:44:15,120
Speaker 2: him back. But Alex Right has stepped up and really

866
00:44:15,160 --> 00:44:16,879
Speaker 2: blossomed here in the secondary. They knew it was gonna

867
00:44:16,880 --> 00:44:19,440
Speaker 2: take some time for him, and you're seeing that payoff.

868
00:44:21,800 --> 00:44:24,960
Speaker 3: Number two, after further review.

869
00:44:27,360 --> 00:44:29,959
Speaker 2: I think the Browns have a diamond on their hands

870
00:44:30,000 --> 00:44:35,600
Speaker 2: in Ronnie Hickman. Pffs not the Despatter's highest graded safety

871
00:44:35,760 --> 00:44:37,879
Speaker 2: of the week in the National Football League last week.

872
00:44:38,160 --> 00:44:40,520
Speaker 2: You saw the vision, the athleticism on the pick six

873
00:44:41,320 --> 00:44:43,040
Speaker 2: right place at the right times. The guy the ball

874
00:44:43,080 --> 00:44:45,279
Speaker 2: found him. In the preseason, he's basically been a starter

875
00:44:45,480 --> 00:44:47,320
Speaker 2: now for it kind of three and a half weeks.

876
00:44:47,560 --> 00:44:49,680
Speaker 2: He's got to pick already, the ball does find him.

877
00:44:49,680 --> 00:44:55,800
Speaker 2: He's got big pass breakups. He's been so good it's exciting.

878
00:44:56,200 --> 00:44:58,480
Speaker 2: But I think that that is kudos Andrew Berry again,

879
00:44:58,680 --> 00:45:00,879
Speaker 2: because you have to load up, you know, the back

880
00:45:01,000 --> 00:45:03,600
Speaker 2: end of this roster. They did that and guys like

881
00:45:03,960 --> 00:45:05,880
Speaker 2: not only Higan, but the Anthony Bell's played very very

882
00:45:05,920 --> 00:45:07,919
Speaker 2: well since coming in. He had two tackles for lost round.

883
00:45:07,920 --> 00:45:10,480
Speaker 2: Harmon played well in this one also, so those safety

884
00:45:10,520 --> 00:45:11,200
Speaker 2: stepping up our right.

885
00:45:11,280 --> 00:45:15,000
Speaker 3: Number three, Harmon played really well taking out running backs. Yep.

886
00:45:15,280 --> 00:45:19,160
Speaker 3: Breisee Hall couple really nice plays in open field. YEP.

887
00:45:19,400 --> 00:45:25,600
Speaker 2: Couldn't agree more. Number three after further review, how about

888
00:45:25,600 --> 00:45:29,879
Speaker 2: Sioni Taki Taki sixteen tackles? Pretty sure? That's a career

889
00:45:29,960 --> 00:45:34,600
Speaker 2: high for him. Sixteen tackles. He was everywhere in this game.

890
00:45:34,680 --> 00:45:37,120
Speaker 2: I couldn't be happier for him getting the opportunity. I

891
00:45:37,200 --> 00:45:39,240
Speaker 2: think at this time last year he was on ir

892
00:45:39,480 --> 00:45:41,880
Speaker 2: just torn his ACL down in Houston, and now he

893
00:45:41,960 --> 00:45:44,399
Speaker 2: goes down to Houston, leads a team in tackles, goes

894
00:45:44,480 --> 00:45:47,800
Speaker 2: this week, leads a team and tackles sixteen of them. Awesome.

895
00:45:48,000 --> 00:45:49,000
Speaker 2: Couldn't be happier for him.

896
00:45:50,440 --> 00:45:53,320
Speaker 3: Number four after further review.

897
00:45:55,760 --> 00:45:58,279
Speaker 2: Just a quick Pro Bowl lobby here, because I don't

898
00:45:58,280 --> 00:45:59,719
Speaker 2: know that we're gonna see any of these guys again.

899
00:45:59,760 --> 00:46:01,879
Speaker 2: I think Denzel Ward is playing at a Pro Bowl level.

900
00:46:01,960 --> 00:46:03,719
Speaker 2: M j Emerson is playing at a Pro Bowl level.

901
00:46:03,719 --> 00:46:05,799
Speaker 2: I think, quite frankly, Greg Newsom, especially over the last

902
00:46:05,880 --> 00:46:07,200
Speaker 2: kind of half of the season's playing at a Pro

903
00:46:07,239 --> 00:46:11,040
Speaker 2: Bowl level. Jok eleven tackles two tackles for a loss,

904
00:46:11,040 --> 00:46:12,920
Speaker 2: giving him twenty of those on the season playing at

905
00:46:12,920 --> 00:46:15,719
Speaker 2: a Pro Bowl level. Miles Garrett fourteen sacks, only player

906
00:46:15,719 --> 00:46:17,320
Speaker 2: in the league with fourteen or more sacks in the

907
00:46:17,400 --> 00:46:20,799
Speaker 2: last three seasons. He had four quarterback hits in this one.

908
00:46:21,360 --> 00:46:23,680
Speaker 2: Just couldn't quite seal the deal. A few times was

909
00:46:23,719 --> 00:46:26,440
Speaker 2: getting held on every play. He's been unbelievable. But I

910
00:46:26,480 --> 00:46:30,280
Speaker 2: think there is a real path to five Pro bowlers

911
00:46:30,360 --> 00:46:33,560
Speaker 2: on the Browns defense this year. Absolutely no team's ever

912
00:46:33,600 --> 00:46:35,480
Speaker 2: had three corners make it. It would be historic and

913
00:46:35,560 --> 00:46:37,920
Speaker 2: quite frankly, I think that the Browns are deserving.

914
00:46:38,120 --> 00:46:41,520
Speaker 3: So I think last year the I think the Ravens

915
00:46:41,680 --> 00:46:45,480
Speaker 3: had eight guys on the Pro Bowl or Philly, Philly,

916
00:46:45,560 --> 00:46:49,160
Speaker 3: I think had eight players out Pro Bowl. And it

917
00:46:49,280 --> 00:46:50,920
Speaker 3: was one of our it was one of our factor

918
00:46:51,000 --> 00:46:54,719
Speaker 3: fictions on Thursday Night, Like, I think you can get

919
00:46:54,760 --> 00:46:56,239
Speaker 3: to eight on this team.

920
00:46:56,480 --> 00:47:00,560
Speaker 2: I think you, okay, best case scenario, and that's like

921
00:47:00,719 --> 00:47:04,840
Speaker 2: even remotely In makes it right, all right, So I

922
00:47:04,960 --> 00:47:08,160
Speaker 2: think best case scenario, this is best on the offense.

923
00:47:08,520 --> 00:47:12,120
Speaker 2: Potonio yep, Teller. I think Posik could make it. He

924
00:47:12,239 --> 00:47:17,240
Speaker 2: deserves that, Reckon, He's been a top center. Nadjoku yep, Chief.

925
00:47:17,719 --> 00:47:19,719
Speaker 2: I think you could certainly make case. Amari Cooper is

926
00:47:19,800 --> 00:47:23,239
Speaker 2: having a career year, and again this is totally best

927
00:47:23,280 --> 00:47:27,400
Speaker 2: case there, and then Dustin Hopkins, yeah okay, and then

928
00:47:27,480 --> 00:47:29,560
Speaker 2: on defense and then on d the five we said,

929
00:47:29,600 --> 00:47:32,759
Speaker 2: so my, what about my I don't I think you

930
00:47:32,840 --> 00:47:35,040
Speaker 2: could be more of a pass rusher to make it.

931
00:47:35,160 --> 00:47:41,040
Speaker 2: On the interior, Miles j Ok, Denzel, m J. Greg So,

932
00:47:41,160 --> 00:47:43,719
Speaker 2: I mean, I think there's a path to ten. Would

933
00:47:43,760 --> 00:47:46,960
Speaker 2: be everybody that's possible really to make it makes it.

934
00:47:47,080 --> 00:47:48,560
Speaker 2: But my guess it's going to be more. I think

935
00:47:48,600 --> 00:47:55,239
Speaker 2: you're gonna be it. I think Chief's a lock. I

936
00:47:55,280 --> 00:47:58,840
Speaker 2: think Dustin Hopkins is a lock. I think Miles is

937
00:47:58,840 --> 00:48:01,120
Speaker 2: a lock. I think j K is a lock. I

938
00:48:01,200 --> 00:48:04,680
Speaker 2: think one of Denzel and Mjr. Locks. I think you

939
00:48:04,760 --> 00:48:07,120
Speaker 2: have n Beotoni will be a lock. I think you'll

940
00:48:07,120 --> 00:48:09,319
Speaker 2: have six. I think you'll have six locks, and then

941
00:48:09,320 --> 00:48:11,799
Speaker 2: it'll just be who makes it around that, which will

942
00:48:11,840 --> 00:48:14,279
Speaker 2: be fun to see. Yep, speaking of somebody who would

943
00:48:14,280 --> 00:48:16,400
Speaker 2: be in the Pro Bowl if there was one. For announcers,

968
00:49:52,120 --> 00:49:54,680
Speaker 5: smile on my face since Thursday night. And a lot

969
00:49:54,719 --> 00:49:57,600
Speaker 5: of people around Cleveland are in the same type of

970
00:49:57,760 --> 00:50:00,640
Speaker 5: facial expression as I am. Right now. You know. I

971
00:50:00,760 --> 00:50:03,640
Speaker 5: went to the We went out on Saturday night to

974
00:50:06,760 --> 00:50:07,160

975
00:50:07,680 --> 00:50:11,560
Speaker 2: Down in downtown. Yeah, it's a good time though.

976
00:50:11,920 --> 00:50:15,680
Speaker 5: Oh my gosh, it was great. But the people were

977
00:50:15,760 --> 00:50:18,440
Speaker 5: in such a great mood and a lot of it

978
00:50:18,719 --> 00:50:21,680
Speaker 5: was spiced by the Browns. I mean, everybody was just

979
00:50:21,800 --> 00:50:24,200
Speaker 5: in such a great mood. And it's been that way

980
00:50:24,440 --> 00:50:26,160
Speaker 5: everywhere you go down around town.

981
00:50:26,200 --> 00:50:28,880
Speaker 2: I think, well, you're exactly right, all right. Before we

982
00:50:29,000 --> 00:50:31,840
Speaker 2: get into talking about Thursday night and all of those things,

983
00:50:32,320 --> 00:50:34,279
Speaker 2: because Bo's not here, I've got I got to fill

984
00:50:34,320 --> 00:50:35,960
Speaker 2: in form and ask you how are things out on

985
00:50:36,040 --> 00:50:39,239
Speaker 2: the Ponderosa right now? What's going on? Got some rain,

986
00:50:39,280 --> 00:50:41,359
Speaker 2: we got some snow, we got a wintery mix. How

987
00:50:41,440 --> 00:50:41,759
Speaker 2: you doing?

988
00:50:42,400 --> 00:50:44,600
Speaker 5: Come doing good? I am in the barn. As a

989
00:50:44,680 --> 00:50:47,759
Speaker 5: matter of fact, this is my studio for Cleveland Browns Daily.

990
00:50:48,120 --> 00:50:49,960
Speaker 5: When I appear on the show, I'm here in the

991
00:50:50,000 --> 00:50:52,800
Speaker 5: barn and all let me know that all present and

992
00:50:52,880 --> 00:50:56,439
Speaker 5: accounted for. As far as horses are concern, and they

993
00:50:56,520 --> 00:50:59,279
Speaker 5: are like football players during the cold weather that get

994
00:50:59,320 --> 00:51:02,600
Speaker 5: those big cat around. Yeah, they they've got all their

995
00:51:02,640 --> 00:51:05,120
Speaker 5: blankets on. So they're doing good. They're eating hay and

996
00:51:05,200 --> 00:51:07,000
Speaker 5: they got their blankets on. Life is good.

997
00:51:07,400 --> 00:51:09,279
Speaker 2: I was gonna say it sounds nice and cozy. Good

998
00:51:09,320 --> 00:51:11,440
Speaker 2: to be a horse on the Donovant at the Donovant

999
00:51:11,440 --> 00:51:14,920
Speaker 2: to stay all right. You've gotten to do, obviously, throughout

1000
00:51:14,920 --> 00:51:18,600
Speaker 2: your career, some very very cool things with everything that

1001
00:51:18,760 --> 00:51:22,080
Speaker 2: obviously you've gone through personally, what this team has gone

1002
00:51:22,120 --> 00:51:25,839
Speaker 2: through professionally for all these years. Where did Thursday Night

1003
00:51:25,920 --> 00:51:28,120
Speaker 2: and getting to make that final call? Where does that

1004
00:51:28,239 --> 00:51:30,000
Speaker 2: rank for you when you look back on your career

1005
00:51:30,320 --> 00:51:32,120
Speaker 2: in terms of some of the special moments you've gotten

1006
00:51:32,120 --> 00:51:32,560
Speaker 2: to be a part of.

1007
00:51:33,200 --> 00:51:35,239
Speaker 5: Oh, it's right on the top. It's right at the top.

1008
00:51:35,360 --> 00:51:39,080
Speaker 5: It really is. Because I and I know a lot

1009
00:51:39,120 --> 00:51:41,640
Speaker 5: of other people, but I'll speak for myself. I have

1010
00:51:41,880 --> 00:51:45,400
Speaker 5: always dreamed of being in a big game like that,

1011
00:51:45,800 --> 00:51:48,359
Speaker 5: and to be able to call it is even better.

1012
00:51:48,480 --> 00:51:52,239
Speaker 5: But to have that stadium, have a big game atmosphere

1013
00:51:52,760 --> 00:51:54,719
Speaker 5: with a lot riding on it, and that was the

1014
00:51:54,800 --> 00:51:59,600
Speaker 5: scenario on Thursday Night, and it exceeded what I always dreamed.

1015
00:51:59,600 --> 00:52:01,799
Speaker 5: It really did. The fact that it was a night

1016
00:52:01,880 --> 00:52:03,920
Speaker 5: game and it's the only game, and it's a nationally

1017
00:52:04,280 --> 00:52:07,600
Speaker 5: televised game and it's a winning your in game. Oh

1018
00:52:07,719 --> 00:52:10,600
Speaker 5: my gosh, it was. It was just incredible. As the

1019
00:52:10,640 --> 00:52:13,480
Speaker 5: game went along, it really was, and I would, you know,

1020
00:52:13,520 --> 00:52:15,040
Speaker 5: the two of us would look at each other every

1021
00:52:15,080 --> 00:52:18,240
Speaker 5: commercial break, and as the lead widened for the Browns

1022
00:52:18,280 --> 00:52:20,680
Speaker 5: and grew your you know, we would look at each

1023
00:52:20,719 --> 00:52:23,080
Speaker 5: other and say, hey, let's just look that clock, run

1024
00:52:23,960 --> 00:52:26,600
Speaker 5: this thing over with so we can you know, really

1025
00:52:26,760 --> 00:52:29,319
Speaker 5: celebrate this thing. But you know, it really is at

1026
00:52:29,360 --> 00:52:32,719
Speaker 5: the top of my list. It really was because everything

1027
00:52:32,920 --> 00:52:36,120
Speaker 5: was just so perfect. The crowd was perfect, you know,

1028
00:52:36,200 --> 00:52:39,360
Speaker 5: the pregame was perfect, the game was perfect, and the

1029
00:52:39,480 --> 00:52:41,040
Speaker 5: after celebration was amazing.

1030
00:52:42,440 --> 00:52:44,759
Speaker 2: It really was. And you know, this obviously second year

1031
00:52:44,800 --> 00:52:46,640
Speaker 2: that I've been able to have that vantage point on

1032
00:52:46,840 --> 00:52:49,800
Speaker 2: the crowd during games, and I've never seen anything like it.

1033
00:52:49,920 --> 00:52:53,319
Speaker 2: I mean, for people to understand, we would go into

1034
00:52:53,400 --> 00:52:55,960
Speaker 2: it like a commercial. They would play one of your

1035
00:52:56,040 --> 00:52:58,800
Speaker 2: touchdown calls on the big board, and then everybody in

1036
00:52:58,840 --> 00:53:00,640
Speaker 2: the sections in front of us would turn around and

1037
00:53:00,719 --> 00:53:02,840
Speaker 2: start like cheering for you and cheering for us in

1038
00:53:02,920 --> 00:53:06,000
Speaker 2: the Browns. It was just it was crazy. It was electric.

1039
00:53:06,040 --> 00:53:07,839
Speaker 2: I mean that's the word I keep using the electricity

1040
00:53:07,880 --> 00:53:10,680
Speaker 2: in that stadium, especially when we got that fourth down

1041
00:53:10,680 --> 00:53:12,080
Speaker 2: stop and then it was like, okay, now it's just

1042
00:53:12,160 --> 00:53:14,480
Speaker 2: a matter of time until this game ends. It was

1043
00:53:14,600 --> 00:53:17,920
Speaker 2: truly something special, right, I mean, we've seen this crowd,

1044
00:53:18,320 --> 00:53:20,719
Speaker 2: it's the best fans in the NFL, but there's just

1045
00:53:20,800 --> 00:53:22,960
Speaker 2: a belief and you could tell it's permeating from the

1046
00:53:23,040 --> 00:53:25,320
Speaker 2: team into the crowd, and I thought it was so

1047
00:53:25,440 --> 00:53:27,640
Speaker 2: special to kind of see that, and it felt like

1048
00:53:27,680 --> 00:53:29,879
Speaker 2: we almost had our own interactive theater right in front

1049
00:53:29,880 --> 00:53:32,000
Speaker 2: of us, of everybody turning around throughout the game.

1050
00:53:33,080 --> 00:53:35,400
Speaker 5: Yeah, it really was. I mean, and you know it's

1051
00:53:35,440 --> 00:53:37,640
Speaker 5: been that way. I mean, you've been there all year

1052
00:53:37,719 --> 00:53:40,120
Speaker 5: and I've been there in and out, but certainly down

1053
00:53:40,200 --> 00:53:43,080
Speaker 5: the stretch here when you know we've been coming down

1054
00:53:43,120 --> 00:53:46,160
Speaker 5: the stretch with these home games, and you know there's

1055
00:53:46,200 --> 00:53:49,320
Speaker 5: a bigness to every game because you're in that wild

1056
00:53:49,360 --> 00:53:52,160
Speaker 5: card category and you're wondering if you're gonna be if

1057
00:53:52,160 --> 00:53:54,400
Speaker 5: you're gonna get in. You still have some outside hopes

1058
00:53:54,400 --> 00:53:56,840
Speaker 5: of the division, but the games are all big and

1059
00:53:56,960 --> 00:54:01,359
Speaker 5: the crowd is so in telligent about that. There's such

1060
00:54:01,400 --> 00:54:04,440
Speaker 5: a good football I Q with our fans, and they

1061
00:54:04,600 --> 00:54:06,799
Speaker 5: know that they have a role in the game at

1062
00:54:06,840 --> 00:54:08,960
Speaker 5: Browns Stadium, and they know when it's third down and

1063
00:54:09,040 --> 00:54:11,239
Speaker 5: that defense is out there on the field that they

1064
00:54:11,280 --> 00:54:13,160
Speaker 5: want to get them going. And they don't have to

1065
00:54:13,200 --> 00:54:16,560
Speaker 5: be cued, you know, by any announcement that it's third down.

1066
00:54:16,600 --> 00:54:19,600
Speaker 5: They realize that and they're up and they're ready. But

1067
00:54:20,320 --> 00:54:23,720
Speaker 5: you know it's a big game, Nathan, when the crowd

1068
00:54:24,280 --> 00:54:27,920
Speaker 5: is so in that stadium and so pouring emotion out

1069
00:54:28,200 --> 00:54:30,440
Speaker 5: during the pregame warm up, And that was the situation

1070
00:54:30,800 --> 00:54:33,239
Speaker 5: on Thursday night. Any Browns player that came out of

1071
00:54:33,280 --> 00:54:37,239
Speaker 5: that tunnel was met with a rousing cheer and it

1072
00:54:37,400 --> 00:54:38,000
Speaker 5: was just great.

1073
00:54:39,480 --> 00:54:42,320
Speaker 2: It sure was just thinking back on to making me smile,

1074
00:54:42,400 --> 00:54:44,399
Speaker 2: And you're exactly right. Anywhere I went in the city,

1075
00:54:44,480 --> 00:54:47,280
Speaker 2: I mean, people are wearing Brown's gear everywhere, Brown's flags

1076
00:54:47,320 --> 00:54:51,040
Speaker 2: are everywhere. Everybody is smiling. It is a very special thing,

1077
00:54:51,080 --> 00:54:54,360
Speaker 2: and it leads us to something that we're both familiar

1078
00:54:54,560 --> 00:54:58,520
Speaker 2: and yet also unfamiliar with. We're familiar with our final

1079
00:54:58,600 --> 00:55:01,640
Speaker 2: game of the season not necessary meaning anything. We are

1080
00:55:01,800 --> 00:55:05,440
Speaker 2: unfamiliar with it not meaning anything because we're already locked

1081
00:55:05,480 --> 00:55:09,120
Speaker 2: into the playoffs, into the five seed. What do you

1082
00:55:09,200 --> 00:55:12,040
Speaker 2: make even of this week coming up, because it feels

1083
00:55:12,120 --> 00:55:14,120
Speaker 2: like there's no stakes for either team. It's kind of

1084
00:55:14,160 --> 00:55:17,279
Speaker 2: almost an exhibition, and you got to balance maybe the

1085
00:55:17,360 --> 00:55:20,200
Speaker 2: desire to keep this great rhythm and this winning going

1086
00:55:20,320 --> 00:55:23,480
Speaker 2: with let's get this battered team healthy and give us

1087
00:55:23,520 --> 00:55:25,680
Speaker 2: our best roster possible going into the playoffs.

1088
00:55:26,160 --> 00:55:30,200
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's a very very rare situation for really a

1089
00:55:30,280 --> 00:55:34,400
Speaker 5: lot of teams and certainly us. Yeah. I used to

1090
00:55:34,520 --> 00:55:37,239
Speaker 5: always when we would typically end the year against the

1091
00:55:37,280 --> 00:55:41,279
Speaker 5: Steelers and their playoff fate had already been decided, Yeah,

1092
00:55:41,280 --> 00:55:43,120
Speaker 5: and they were playing and we were way out of it,

1093
00:55:43,239 --> 00:55:45,960
Speaker 5: of course, and you would say, I used to say

1094
00:55:45,960 --> 00:55:49,120
Speaker 5: to myself, gosh, I envy them right now that they're

1095
00:55:49,160 --> 00:55:51,759
Speaker 5: in this position. How great it would be that there's

1096
00:55:51,840 --> 00:55:53,920
Speaker 5: Big Ben on the sideline and he doesn't have to

1097
00:55:53,960 --> 00:55:56,440
Speaker 5: worry a thing about this game because he's just wondering

1098
00:55:56,440 --> 00:55:58,600
Speaker 5: who they're going to play in the playoffs, And here

1099
00:55:58,680 --> 00:56:01,120
Speaker 5: we are, we are in that position. So it really

1100
00:56:01,280 --> 00:56:04,520
Speaker 5: is a very very unique position going down to Cincinnati

1101
00:56:05,040 --> 00:56:07,959
Speaker 5: and with them being eliminated after losing to Kansas City,

1102
00:56:08,600 --> 00:56:11,520
Speaker 5: the game is really kind of a you know, it's

1103
00:56:11,680 --> 00:56:13,799
Speaker 5: like an exhibition game. It really is like an extra

1104
00:56:13,880 --> 00:56:17,080
Speaker 5: preseason game, of which we had an extra preseason game

1105
00:56:17,360 --> 00:56:20,399
Speaker 5: this right, because of the Hall of Fame game. So yeah,

1106
00:56:20,400 --> 00:56:21,960
Speaker 5: I think we're going to be I think you and

1107
00:56:22,000 --> 00:56:23,680
Speaker 5: I are going to be deep in the depth chart,

1108
00:56:23,800 --> 00:56:27,960
Speaker 5: probably as we were like in Kansas City or you know,

1109
00:56:28,560 --> 00:56:30,800
Speaker 5: late in the game in Philadelphia during the summer.

1110
00:56:32,320 --> 00:56:34,640
Speaker 2: You know, it's wild, and you're right, I think we

1111
00:56:34,760 --> 00:56:37,040
Speaker 2: will be dipping into it. Here's something and I'm curious.

1112
00:56:37,040 --> 00:56:38,880
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go try to find Joe Flacco and confirm this.

1113
00:56:38,960 --> 00:56:41,160
Speaker 2: But I'm looking at Joe Flacco's you know, you think

1114
00:56:41,200 --> 00:56:43,719
Speaker 2: about his best years with the Ravens eleven and five,

1115
00:56:43,880 --> 00:56:46,080
Speaker 2: twelve and four in twenty ten, twelve and four in

1116
00:56:46,120 --> 00:56:48,080
Speaker 2: twenty eleven, the Super Bowl year, ten and six, ten

1117
00:56:48,120 --> 00:56:51,279
Speaker 2: and six. He played and started sixteen games in all

1118
00:56:51,360 --> 00:56:53,520
Speaker 2: those seasons, and that's back when it was a sixteen

1119
00:56:53,640 --> 00:56:56,600
Speaker 2: game season. So I don't know that he's had necessarily

1120
00:56:56,719 --> 00:56:59,920
Speaker 2: experience of sitting down in the final week of a season.

1121
00:57:00,480 --> 00:57:02,480
Speaker 2: So you wonder what he's saying about it.

1122
00:57:03,239 --> 00:57:06,360
Speaker 5: Yeah, I wonder, you know, and because he's really just

1123
00:57:06,440 --> 00:57:09,680
Speaker 5: getting this thing reffed up, right, now, and my gosh,

1124
00:57:09,719 --> 00:57:12,759
Speaker 5: he's got it reffed up and has played like a month.

1125
00:57:14,120 --> 00:57:17,360
Speaker 5: This is obviously a very unique situation for him, but

1126
00:57:17,480 --> 00:57:19,520
Speaker 5: it is going to be when we finally do get

1127
00:57:19,600 --> 00:57:22,680
Speaker 5: there beyond this week and get into the postseason, it

1128
00:57:22,880 --> 00:57:25,600
Speaker 5: really is going to be very, very noticeable to have

1129
00:57:25,760 --> 00:57:29,880
Speaker 5: a quarterback out there who has not just playoff experience,

1130
00:57:30,000 --> 00:57:34,080
Speaker 5: but a lot of playoff experience and the ultimate playoff experience,

1131
00:57:34,400 --> 00:57:36,320
Speaker 5: and that is going to be an advantage every time

1132
00:57:36,680 --> 00:57:38,760
Speaker 5: the Browns go into a playoff game with him right

1133
00:57:38,800 --> 00:57:41,600
Speaker 5: now this season as the starting quarterback for the Browns,

1134
00:57:41,640 --> 00:57:44,120
Speaker 5: that is going to help them a great deal because

1135
00:57:44,200 --> 00:57:48,720
Speaker 5: young quarterbacks can really going into the second season into

1136
00:57:48,760 --> 00:57:52,000
Speaker 5: the playoffs, can really have a tough time and unravel

1137
00:57:52,160 --> 00:57:54,480
Speaker 5: very very quickly if they don't get off to a

1138
00:57:54,520 --> 00:57:57,280
Speaker 5: good start. That shouldn't be the case here because he

1139
00:57:57,440 --> 00:57:59,440
Speaker 5: knows the drill. He knows it like the back of

1140
00:57:59,480 --> 00:57:59,840
Speaker 5: his hand.

1141
00:58:01,560 --> 00:58:04,200
Speaker 2: Jim, Where does the fact that we're talking about Joe

1142
00:58:04,280 --> 00:58:07,200
Speaker 2: Flacco as the quarterback of the Cleveland Browns, a guy

1143
00:58:07,240 --> 00:58:10,400
Speaker 2: that when you came back for your triumphant return Week

1144
00:58:10,440 --> 00:58:13,280
Speaker 2: eleven against the Pittsburgh Steelers was not even a pipe

1145
00:58:13,360 --> 00:58:15,880
Speaker 2: dream to be a Cleveland Brown And then we come

1146
00:58:15,960 --> 00:58:18,040
Speaker 2: back from the West Coast and you come back for

1147
00:58:18,080 --> 00:58:20,959
Speaker 2: the Jags game and it's Joe Flacco and he wins

1148
00:58:21,040 --> 00:58:22,880
Speaker 2: that one. He wins the Bears game, we go to Houston,

1149
00:58:22,920 --> 00:58:25,560
Speaker 2: he wins, he wins this Jets game. The fact that

1150
00:58:25,600 --> 00:58:28,360
Speaker 2: you've called so many Joe Flacco games, they often, as

1151
00:58:28,400 --> 00:58:30,200
Speaker 2: you mentioned in the very first one, ended with Joe

1152
00:58:30,280 --> 00:58:32,560
Speaker 2: Flacco winning. This time, though he does it for the

1153
00:58:32,560 --> 00:58:35,360
Speaker 2: Clevean Brons. Like, how crazy of a story somebody could

1154
00:58:35,440 --> 00:58:38,120
Speaker 2: have the perspective you can, is it that Joe Flacco

1155
00:58:38,320 --> 00:58:40,280
Speaker 2: is now the toast of this town, by the way,

1156
00:58:40,640 --> 00:58:42,880
Speaker 2: and that he's leading this team to the playoffs and

1157
00:58:43,280 --> 00:58:45,960
Speaker 2: looks poised to maybe make a deep run in the playoffs.

1158
00:58:46,640 --> 00:58:48,520
Speaker 5: He really is the touch of the town. You're right

1159
00:58:48,560 --> 00:58:51,080
Speaker 5: about that. There were two things, you know, all those

1160
00:58:51,160 --> 00:58:53,560
Speaker 5: years when you played the Ravens and the Browns would

1161
00:58:53,560 --> 00:58:56,360
Speaker 5: go into Baltimore and lose and have it and typically

1162
00:58:56,480 --> 00:58:58,680
Speaker 5: lose here. And he you know, he was like seventeen

1163
00:58:58,720 --> 00:59:01,000
Speaker 5: and three against the Browns as a Raven and then

1164
00:59:01,040 --> 00:59:02,840
Speaker 5: he's got the one winn as a Jet. But in

1165
00:59:02,920 --> 00:59:05,720
Speaker 5: those seventeen games, and in all of those games, there

1166
00:59:05,760 --> 00:59:09,200
Speaker 5: were two things that would always happen, always happened, and

1167
00:59:09,280 --> 00:59:12,080
Speaker 5: in particular at M and T Banks Stadium in Baltimore,

1168
00:59:12,520 --> 00:59:14,800
Speaker 5: Joe Flacco would get hot and make a big play,

1169
00:59:15,160 --> 00:59:17,000
Speaker 5: and on the other side, Ed Reid would get a

1170
00:59:17,080 --> 00:59:19,920
Speaker 5: pick and usually take it back for a touchdown and

1171
00:59:20,000 --> 00:59:22,200
Speaker 5: it would be game over. That's it. That's the way

1172
00:59:22,240 --> 00:59:25,960
Speaker 5: it went all those years. It is unbelievable. First of all,

1173
00:59:26,000 --> 00:59:29,439
Speaker 5: it was just unbelievable on the eyes, Nathan, to see

1174
00:59:29,480 --> 00:59:31,720
Speaker 5: him in a Brown's uniform, just to see him visually

1175
00:59:32,160 --> 00:59:34,320
Speaker 5: in the uniform of the Browns, I mean, after all

1176
00:59:34,360 --> 00:59:37,080
Speaker 5: those years were in the purple and black of the Ravens.

1177
00:59:37,120 --> 00:59:41,200
Speaker 5: But then to see him perform, and I do remember,

1178
00:59:41,480 --> 00:59:43,960
Speaker 5: and it pains me to remember this a year ago

1179
00:59:44,080 --> 00:59:46,320
Speaker 5: September when he did beat the Browns as the Jet

1180
00:59:46,480 --> 00:59:49,960
Speaker 5: and I remember, and I'm sure you do too, how

1181
00:59:50,080 --> 00:59:52,640
Speaker 5: hot he got at the end of that game, and

1182
00:59:52,760 --> 00:59:54,840
Speaker 5: you know, just red hot, throwing the ball to the

1183
00:59:54,880 --> 00:59:57,960
Speaker 5: point where we just couldn't stop him and get to

1184
00:59:58,080 --> 01:00:01,480
Speaker 5: him and get him down, and he's just rifling the

1185
01:00:01,520 --> 01:00:03,920
Speaker 5: ball all over the ballpark and you just had this

1186
01:00:04,080 --> 01:00:07,240
Speaker 5: sinking feeling that he was so hot that they were

1187
01:00:07,320 --> 01:00:09,800
Speaker 5: unstoppable once they got the ball. Of course they did,

1188
01:00:09,840 --> 01:00:12,520
Speaker 5: and they ended up beating us. So I mean, that's

1189
01:00:12,600 --> 01:00:14,560
Speaker 5: the way he plays though, And you know, he was

1190
01:00:14,640 --> 01:00:17,200
Speaker 5: hot on Thursday night, and he might go through a

1191
01:00:17,240 --> 01:00:20,280
Speaker 5: low rough patch, but then he gets himself collected once again,

1192
01:00:20,560 --> 01:00:22,560
Speaker 5: doesn't get rattled, and he you know, he picks up

1193
01:00:22,560 --> 01:00:23,280
Speaker 5: where he started.

1194
01:00:24,560 --> 01:00:28,040
Speaker 2: He has been something else for this football team. This

1195
01:00:28,200 --> 01:00:31,480
Speaker 2: team every week it feels like it's overcoming something else.

1196
01:00:31,560 --> 01:00:34,640
Speaker 2: Amari Cooper was the late scratch on Thursday night, and

1197
01:00:34,840 --> 01:00:37,120
Speaker 2: yet this offense through for almost three hundred yards in

1198
01:00:37,160 --> 01:00:40,280
Speaker 2: the first half the chief has been sensational. What does

1199
01:00:40,320 --> 01:00:42,360
Speaker 2: it kind of say to you with somebody who's you know,

1200
01:00:42,600 --> 01:00:45,400
Speaker 2: calling these games, immersing it, watching it, preparing for it.

1201
01:00:45,960 --> 01:00:48,280
Speaker 2: What this team has been able to overcome this year,

1202
01:00:48,320 --> 01:00:50,960
Speaker 2: to have this magical eleven win season, eight of those

1203
01:00:51,040 --> 01:00:53,920
Speaker 2: wins a franchise record, coming in front of the home fans,

1204
01:00:54,240 --> 01:00:56,600
Speaker 2: kind of what's kind of been that secret sauce as

1205
01:00:56,680 --> 01:00:57,080
Speaker 2: you see it?

1206
01:00:58,440 --> 01:00:59,960
Speaker 5: Well, for me, the first thing that hits me is

1207
01:01:00,120 --> 01:01:04,320
Speaker 5: that defense, you know, because that's that's the main deal.

1208
01:01:05,000 --> 01:01:07,640
Speaker 5: And we only saw a little bit of them together

1209
01:01:08,200 --> 01:01:11,320
Speaker 5: during the preseason. You probably saw more when you were

1210
01:01:11,320 --> 01:01:14,800
Speaker 5: at Greenbrier and you know, during the practice sessions there.

1211
01:01:15,120 --> 01:01:17,200
Speaker 5: But as far as the games were concerned, Hall of

1212
01:01:17,280 --> 01:01:19,360
Speaker 5: Fame game, all the way through Kansas City, I mean,

1213
01:01:19,400 --> 01:01:21,440
Speaker 5: we only really saw a little bit of the defense,

1214
01:01:21,560 --> 01:01:23,760
Speaker 5: but even that little look at them, you could tell

1215
01:01:23,840 --> 01:01:27,240
Speaker 5: whether there was a different aggressive speed to them. And

1216
01:01:27,360 --> 01:01:30,000
Speaker 5: then that just came right out in the opening game

1217
01:01:30,000 --> 01:01:32,680
Speaker 5: against Cincinnati when they just and I know Joe Burrow

1218
01:01:32,840 --> 01:01:35,320
Speaker 5: was playing with a bad cap, but they just smothered

1219
01:01:35,360 --> 01:01:37,880
Speaker 5: that Bengal offense that day and there was just no

1220
01:01:37,960 --> 01:01:40,600
Speaker 5: way Cincinnati was going to score. So that's the first

1221
01:01:40,640 --> 01:01:43,080
Speaker 5: thing that really is the calling cards. But when you

1222
01:01:43,160 --> 01:01:46,560
Speaker 5: think about it, Nathan, because of all the different quarterbacks

1223
01:01:46,960 --> 01:01:49,240
Speaker 5: that the Browns have had this year, numbering now four,

1224
01:01:49,800 --> 01:01:52,800
Speaker 5: they've really had to play four different kinds of offense

1225
01:01:53,280 --> 01:01:57,400
Speaker 5: because each quarterback was different. And that then goes to

1226
01:01:57,520 --> 01:02:01,120
Speaker 5: the head coach and Alex Van Pelt, Bill Callahan and

1227
01:02:01,200 --> 01:02:04,440
Speaker 5: Shadowshay and Stuff Mitchell and all of those guys that

1228
01:02:04,480 --> 01:02:07,480
Speaker 5: are putting together to that offensive side, because with each

1229
01:02:07,560 --> 01:02:10,880
Speaker 5: quarterback came a different style of play and they and

1230
01:02:11,000 --> 01:02:12,880
Speaker 5: they won with all of them too. I mean they

1231
01:02:12,960 --> 01:02:15,720
Speaker 5: won with Watson, they won with PJ. Walker. I mean

1232
01:02:15,760 --> 01:02:18,680
Speaker 5: they knocked off San Francisco. You know, they won with

1233
01:02:18,840 --> 01:02:21,640
Speaker 5: dtr in that game that they scratched out against Pittsburgh.

1234
01:02:21,880 --> 01:02:24,800
Speaker 5: And obviously they're winning big now with Flaco. But it's

1235
01:02:24,960 --> 01:02:28,080
Speaker 5: all very different because each guy is so different in

1236
01:02:28,240 --> 01:02:30,800
Speaker 5: style of play, and that is indeed one of the

1237
01:02:30,880 --> 01:02:32,480
Speaker 5: amazing parts of this whole story.

1238
01:02:33,640 --> 01:02:36,240
Speaker 2: You mentioned Kevin's the fancier city a lot of affection

1239
01:02:36,440 --> 01:02:39,240
Speaker 2: for the Browns head coach. He's now the betting favorite

1240
01:02:39,280 --> 01:02:40,560
Speaker 2: to be the Coach of the Year, which would be

1241
01:02:40,600 --> 01:02:42,880
Speaker 2: the second time in four seasons that he has done it.

1242
01:02:43,440 --> 01:02:45,680
Speaker 2: He is what I think there are two names in

1243
01:02:45,720 --> 01:02:48,920
Speaker 2: Cleveland Brown's franchise history that have had multiple eleven win seasons.

1244
01:02:48,920 --> 01:02:52,120
Speaker 2: I think it's Paul Brown and Kevin Stefanski. That's the list.

1245
01:02:52,520 --> 01:02:54,640
Speaker 2: What is he meant to this organization? What he and

1246
01:02:54,760 --> 01:02:57,120
Speaker 2: Andrew Berry who obviously you look at the depth of

1247
01:02:57,200 --> 01:02:58,800
Speaker 2: the roster and the people stepping up, you've got to

1248
01:02:58,800 --> 01:03:00,440
Speaker 2: tip your cap to him. He should be the conversation

1249
01:03:00,840 --> 01:03:02,680
Speaker 2: for Executive the Year. But back to the head coach

1250
01:03:02,760 --> 01:03:05,280
Speaker 2: for now, what about the job that he has done

1251
01:03:05,800 --> 01:03:08,040
Speaker 2: to get this team not only to handle the different

1252
01:03:08,040 --> 01:03:10,280
Speaker 2: styles of quarterbacks, but you know, you go back to

1253
01:03:10,400 --> 01:03:14,320
Speaker 2: the week that you returned against the Pittsburgh Steelers, that

1254
01:03:14,480 --> 01:03:17,240
Speaker 2: this team was flying high after beating the Ravens. They

1255
01:03:17,320 --> 01:03:21,040
Speaker 2: were devastated Wednesday morning by the news, devastated that Deshaun

1256
01:03:21,080 --> 01:03:23,160
Speaker 2: Watson was done for the year. We'd finally seen the

1257
01:03:23,520 --> 01:03:26,520
Speaker 2: best half of Deshaun Watson since becoming a Cleveland Brown

1258
01:03:26,640 --> 01:03:28,120
Speaker 2: and he got them ready to play and got a

1259
01:03:28,160 --> 01:03:30,320
Speaker 2: rookie quarterback ready to play and got a huge win

1260
01:03:30,360 --> 01:03:32,560
Speaker 2: at home at a time when you certainly needed it.

1261
01:03:33,920 --> 01:03:35,960
Speaker 5: Well, I've always thought he's very smart. I mean, I

1262
01:03:36,320 --> 01:03:38,640
Speaker 5: just I love talking to him because he's just very smart.

1263
01:03:38,960 --> 01:03:41,400
Speaker 5: I think he's a very very smart guy. And I

1264
01:03:41,520 --> 01:03:45,480
Speaker 5: know there was a loud bellowing a times cry during

1265
01:03:45,520 --> 01:03:49,280
Speaker 5: the offseason where people were saying, hey, please give up

1266
01:03:49,320 --> 01:03:51,960
Speaker 5: the play calling, you know, just be the CEO head

1267
01:03:52,000 --> 01:03:54,400
Speaker 5: coach of the team. But he's too good at it.

1268
01:03:54,600 --> 01:03:58,320
Speaker 5: I really believe. I've always enjoyed his game plans. Sure,

1269
01:03:58,400 --> 01:04:01,120
Speaker 5: you can pick on a call sometimes you can do

1270
01:04:01,240 --> 01:04:03,240
Speaker 5: that with you can do that with any coach in

1271
01:04:03,360 --> 01:04:05,439
Speaker 5: any game. You can say and then like that call

1272
01:04:05,520 --> 01:04:07,400
Speaker 5: on third down. You can do that. But I mean

1273
01:04:07,960 --> 01:04:10,440
Speaker 5: to watch him and to talk to him, and you

1274
01:04:10,520 --> 01:04:13,080
Speaker 5: and I get a chance to talk to him in

1275
01:04:13,480 --> 01:04:16,400
Speaker 5: the interviews and before interviews and after interviews and things

1276
01:04:16,440 --> 01:04:18,800
Speaker 5: like that. He's just he's just a very smart guy.

1277
01:04:19,000 --> 01:04:21,760
Speaker 5: But I would say this, that one and oh theme

1278
01:04:22,320 --> 01:04:26,080
Speaker 5: that he preaches every week has really resounded with this

1279
01:04:26,240 --> 01:04:29,080
Speaker 5: team because it was very very important to just focus

1280
01:04:29,200 --> 01:04:32,280
Speaker 5: in every week on that game. And sometimes people say, ah,

1281
01:04:32,400 --> 01:04:35,080
Speaker 5: that's just a coaching cliche, let's go let's go one

1282
01:04:35,160 --> 01:04:38,080
Speaker 5: and oh, But this team really kind of grabbed onto that,

1283
01:04:38,240 --> 01:04:41,800
Speaker 5: I think, and and really played every week because every

1284
01:04:41,880 --> 01:04:45,280
Speaker 5: week was so different because of the quarterbacks and because

1285
01:04:45,320 --> 01:04:48,040
Speaker 5: of the the two new tackles and because there's no

1286
01:04:48,200 --> 01:04:51,080
Speaker 5: Nick Chubb and and and yes, and there were injuries

1287
01:04:51,480 --> 01:04:53,320
Speaker 5: you know on the other side. And then oh yeah

1288
01:04:53,400 --> 01:04:55,640
Speaker 5: on Thursday night, you know, we we have a new

1289
01:04:55,720 --> 01:04:59,120
Speaker 5: punter and a new kicker and all of those things.

1290
01:04:59,200 --> 01:05:01,760
Speaker 5: When you when you start talking about them, it's just amazing.

1291
01:05:01,840 --> 01:05:04,280
Speaker 5: But I think that that one to oh theme that

1292
01:05:04,440 --> 01:05:06,479
Speaker 5: he has embedded in them, and they they.

1293
01:05:06,480 --> 01:05:08,800
Speaker 2: All you know, talk about it too totally.

1294
01:05:09,200 --> 01:05:11,760
Speaker 5: I think that that has been a very very key

1295
01:05:11,880 --> 01:05:14,760
Speaker 5: thing for them, and he's just done an incredible drop

1296
01:05:14,840 --> 01:05:17,280
Speaker 5: this year. I mean he was great in twenty twenty,

1297
01:05:17,360 --> 01:05:20,280
Speaker 5: no doubt about it, with the COVID situation getting them

1298
01:05:20,320 --> 01:05:22,880
Speaker 5: to the playoffs. But what he's done this year, I

1299
01:05:23,000 --> 01:05:26,360
Speaker 5: mean he is really When people say he was just

1300
01:05:26,440 --> 01:05:30,360
Speaker 5: an offensive coordinator that became a head coach, I always

1301
01:05:30,400 --> 01:05:33,400
Speaker 5: think he's a brilliant offensive coordinator, but now he is

1302
01:05:33,640 --> 01:05:36,640
Speaker 5: really a head coach. He has grown in the four years.

1303
01:05:38,000 --> 01:05:40,160
Speaker 2: There's no doubt that he has. And he's great. He's

1304
01:05:40,440 --> 01:05:42,200
Speaker 2: got complete command and you mentioned the one and oh

1305
01:05:42,240 --> 01:05:44,439
Speaker 2: mantra when you see Amari go up in his post

1306
01:05:44,440 --> 01:05:47,680
Speaker 2: game speech, he says, want to know Flacos Zadarius everybody.

1307
01:05:47,720 --> 01:05:50,880
Speaker 2: They are all bought in, which is awesome. So all right,

1308
01:05:50,960 --> 01:05:52,960
Speaker 2: once the Browns punched their ticket, I'm sure your head

1309
01:05:53,000 --> 01:05:55,080
Speaker 2: had to go there and correct me if I'm wrong

1310
01:05:55,120 --> 01:05:57,280
Speaker 2: on the math. But I'm pretty sure it's been over

1311
01:05:57,440 --> 01:06:00,160
Speaker 2: twenty years, two thousand and two the last time that

1312
01:06:00,240 --> 01:06:04,720
Speaker 2: you were live in attendance for a Cleveland Browns playoff game,

1313
01:06:04,880 --> 01:06:08,200
Speaker 2: So this is a long time coming. How excited are

1314
01:06:08,240 --> 01:06:08,640
Speaker 2: you for that?

1315
01:06:09,800 --> 01:06:13,440
Speaker 5: Oh? I'm really excited. I really am. It's it really is.

1316
01:06:13,800 --> 01:06:17,280
Speaker 5: It's a different type of atmosphere once the playoffs, you know,

1317
01:06:17,440 --> 01:06:19,880
Speaker 5: come and I know there was no atmosphere you were

1318
01:06:19,920 --> 01:06:21,880
Speaker 5: over in Pittsburgh that night. I mean, you know, it's

1319
01:06:21,960 --> 01:06:24,000
Speaker 5: great to beat them and where they beat them, but

1320
01:06:24,080 --> 01:06:28,000
Speaker 5: it wasn't a typical heins Field game. It really is something.

1321
01:06:28,080 --> 01:06:29,640
Speaker 5: I mean, it's it's incredible.

1322
01:06:30,640 --> 01:06:30,840
Speaker 4: You know.

1323
01:06:31,040 --> 01:06:32,840
Speaker 5: The funny thing about I have to tell you this

1324
01:06:32,920 --> 01:06:35,240
Speaker 5: story though, The funny thing about the two thousand and

1325
01:06:35,280 --> 01:06:38,400
Speaker 5: two team when they made the playoffs that day and

1326
01:06:38,440 --> 01:06:41,400
Speaker 5: they beat the Atlanta Falcons when we were getting they

1327
01:06:41,440 --> 01:06:44,200
Speaker 5: had beaten the Falcons, but they still weren't in the playoffs,

1328
01:06:45,040 --> 01:06:47,840
Speaker 5: and they needed New England to lose, and New England

1329
01:06:47,960 --> 01:06:50,440
Speaker 5: was playing Miami, and we're in the postgame show, and

1330
01:06:50,520 --> 01:06:52,120
Speaker 5: I was kind of doing the postgame show but had

1331
01:06:52,160 --> 01:06:54,280
Speaker 5: an eye to the television set ye in the boot

1332
01:06:54,280 --> 01:06:57,760
Speaker 5: because we had flipped it over there. The Patriots miraculously

1333
01:06:57,880 --> 01:07:00,520
Speaker 5: came back. They were losing the whole game. They the game,

1334
01:07:00,600 --> 01:07:03,360
Speaker 5: got it into overtime and beat the Dolphins. So now

1335
01:07:03,840 --> 01:07:06,840
Speaker 5: that card isn't gonna work for us. So we're still

1336
01:07:07,520 --> 01:07:09,880
Speaker 5: not in the playoffs. So we go out into the

1337
01:07:09,960 --> 01:07:12,080
Speaker 5: parking lot to leave, and now it's gotta be the

1338
01:07:12,240 --> 01:07:15,160
Speaker 5: Jets have to beat Green Bay. And I'm in the

1339
01:07:15,280 --> 01:07:18,640
Speaker 5: cards pulling out of the Port parking lot and Butch

1340
01:07:18,760 --> 01:07:21,880
Speaker 5: Davis and his twelve year old son Drew drive up

1341
01:07:21,920 --> 01:07:24,520
Speaker 5: to me. Butch's in this huge black truck and he

1342
01:07:24,680 --> 01:07:27,040
Speaker 5: rolls down the window and this is typical of Butcher.

1343
01:07:27,040 --> 01:07:29,520
Speaker 5: I'll go into my Butch Davis imitation right now. He goes,

1344
01:07:29,720 --> 01:07:34,640
Speaker 5: Getty kiddy. I go, what? And he goes, I find

1345
01:07:34,720 --> 01:07:38,200
Speaker 5: out what the Jets are doing. Being a radio nerd,

1346
01:07:38,640 --> 01:07:41,080
Speaker 5: I say to him, knowing I know where all the

1347
01:07:41,160 --> 01:07:44,120
Speaker 5: games are on the radio. I go, Butch, go to

1348
01:07:44,200 --> 01:07:49,760
Speaker 5: your AM radio hit six six zero six sixty wfa N.

1349
01:07:50,200 --> 01:07:52,760
Speaker 5: That's where the Jets games are. And because it's this

1350
01:07:52,960 --> 01:07:54,840
Speaker 5: time of day, which it was like six o'clock, now

1351
01:07:54,960 --> 01:07:57,320
Speaker 5: that signal is going to boom in and you'll be

1352
01:07:57,360 --> 01:07:59,600
Speaker 5: able to heal. And he's going six six to zero,

1353
01:08:00,280 --> 01:08:03,600
Speaker 5: and all of a sudden he gets the Jets game

1354
01:08:03,680 --> 01:08:07,000
Speaker 5: on the radio and pulls away. And Chad Pennington did

1355
01:08:07,040 --> 01:08:10,640
Speaker 5: it for us. He blew out the Packers and le

1356
01:08:10,720 --> 01:08:13,680
Speaker 5: Bron's at about seven to fifteen. That night making the playoffs.

1357
01:08:13,720 --> 01:08:15,120
Speaker 5: It was a great day.

1358
01:08:16,160 --> 01:08:18,840
Speaker 2: That is awesome. What a great story. I like how

1359
01:08:18,920 --> 01:08:20,519
Speaker 2: we did it here got to just win a game

1360
01:08:20,560 --> 01:08:23,599
Speaker 2: at home. Everybody parties and we get to relax. Well, Jim,

Speaker 8: I don't know.

1380
01:09:33,400 --> 01:09:35,080
Speaker 2: I think it's because it only goes into one of

1381
01:09:35,120 --> 01:09:36,720
Speaker 2: the two years. I think I need to have this

1382
01:09:36,880 --> 01:09:37,960
Speaker 2: year that I can.

1383
01:09:37,920 --> 01:09:40,120
Speaker 3: Kind of hear it. You should be able to hear

1384
01:09:40,200 --> 01:09:40,680
Speaker 3: it out of two.

1385
01:09:40,960 --> 01:09:43,200
Speaker 2: I'm telling you I had no idea. Well, and the

1386
01:09:43,280 --> 01:09:45,920
Speaker 2: other time I got confused because he said, all are

1387
01:09:45,960 --> 01:09:46,439
Speaker 2: you ready to go?

1388
01:09:46,479 --> 01:09:48,840
Speaker 3: And I said something, and then you you hit your

1389
01:09:48,920 --> 01:09:50,160
Speaker 3: box after you said it.

1390
01:09:50,520 --> 01:09:53,240
Speaker 2: Well, here you go, We're back. You know who else

1391
01:09:53,360 --> 01:09:57,640
Speaker 2: is back? Jerome Ford at the podium. He of over

1392
01:09:57,680 --> 01:10:00,479
Speaker 2: one hundred total yards and two touchdowns. Certainly, I'm sure

1393
01:10:00,520 --> 01:10:02,280
Speaker 2: many of you in your fantasy titles. In addition to

1394
01:10:02,320 --> 01:10:05,040
Speaker 2: getting the Browns into the playoffs, he was at the

1395
01:10:05,080 --> 01:10:06,320
Speaker 2: podium yesterday.

1396
01:10:06,760 --> 01:10:07,200
Speaker 3: Here he is.

1397
01:10:07,600 --> 01:10:10,440
Speaker 6: Why do you think the run game was so successful

1398
01:10:10,560 --> 01:10:12,960
Speaker 6: versus Jets after the struggles of the previous a couple

1399
01:10:12,960 --> 01:10:13,640
Speaker 6: of weeks, we.

1400
01:10:13,680 --> 01:10:15,960
Speaker 8: Were just able to hone in on our coaching this week,

1401
01:10:16,040 --> 01:10:19,560
Speaker 8: you know, and you know, jail together old line was

1402
01:10:19,600 --> 01:10:23,240
Speaker 8: clicking and we were clicking as a running back group.

1403
01:10:23,439 --> 01:10:24,560
Speaker 8: So I feel like that was that was one of

1404
01:10:24,600 --> 01:10:26,040
Speaker 8: the big things, being able to get that done in

1405
01:10:26,120 --> 01:10:27,920
Speaker 8: practice this week and go out there and do it

1406
01:10:28,000 --> 01:10:28,439
Speaker 8: on the field.

1407
01:10:28,800 --> 01:10:31,559
Speaker 6: Did you feel like you ran any differently in that game.

1408
01:10:31,720 --> 01:10:32,960
Speaker 6: It looked like you ran really hard.

1409
01:10:34,280 --> 01:10:37,040
Speaker 8: Uh yeah, just just you know, like I said, the

1410
01:10:37,240 --> 01:10:40,080
Speaker 8: offensive line, you know, just seeing them push dudes out

1411
01:10:40,200 --> 01:10:43,840
Speaker 8: and reset the line of scrimmage, put dudes on their back,

1412
01:10:44,200 --> 01:10:46,560
Speaker 8: you know, it just it kind of just you know,

1413
01:10:47,000 --> 01:10:48,680
Speaker 8: traveled to the backs and we're like, yeah, we got

1414
01:10:48,920 --> 01:10:49,280
Speaker 8: gotta do it.

1415
01:10:49,400 --> 01:10:49,800
Speaker 6: Hey, Drome.

1416
01:10:49,880 --> 01:10:53,000
Speaker 9: As a player heading into this this last regular season game,

1417
01:10:53,120 --> 01:10:56,360
Speaker 9: knowing a lot of starters have the potential to rest,

1418
01:10:56,439 --> 01:10:58,960
Speaker 9: what's that mindset in preparation for the Bengals?

1419
01:10:59,360 --> 01:10:59,479
Speaker 4: Uh?

1420
01:10:59,640 --> 01:11:02,479
Speaker 9: And and even looking forward to that first playoff game.

1421
01:11:03,520 --> 01:11:05,479
Speaker 4: Uh, you know, we pretty much has been the same

1422
01:11:05,560 --> 01:11:06,720
Speaker 4: focus as every other game.

Speaker 4: Gonna be there.

1441
01:11:51,000 --> 01:11:53,200
Speaker 10: Oh yeah, Jerome, just wondering, you know, when you got

1442
01:11:53,280 --> 01:11:57,400
Speaker 10: a chance to watch your fifty yard catch and run

1443
01:11:57,640 --> 01:12:01,679
Speaker 10: over again? Uh, you know, were you you know, pretty

1444
01:12:01,680 --> 01:12:03,880
Speaker 10: proud of the way you looked, you know, just like

1445
01:12:04,400 --> 01:12:07,599
Speaker 10: ready to run through a wall on that particular play. Uh,

1446
01:12:07,800 --> 01:12:09,519
Speaker 10: you know, the tackles that you broke and all that

1447
01:12:09,600 --> 01:12:12,360
Speaker 10: kind of stuff. And did the fact that you know,

1448
01:12:12,760 --> 01:12:14,840
Speaker 10: were you a little even extra fired up? You know

1449
01:12:14,960 --> 01:12:17,519
Speaker 10: that Nick was there smashed the guitar. I mean, did

1450
01:12:17,560 --> 01:12:19,640
Speaker 10: you feel like you had to go out and you know,

1451
01:12:19,800 --> 01:12:21,920
Speaker 10: represent for him and all that sort of stuff.

1452
01:12:22,880 --> 01:12:23,599
Speaker 4: Yeah, definitely.

1453
01:12:23,680 --> 01:12:26,240
Speaker 8: Always, you know, ever since Nick went down, you know,

1454
01:12:26,520 --> 01:12:28,000
Speaker 8: we kind of been like, you know, we're gonna play

1455
01:12:28,040 --> 01:12:29,519
Speaker 8: for Nick and that kind of stuff. But my favorite

1456
01:12:29,520 --> 01:12:31,599
Speaker 8: part about to play actually is if you look at

1457
01:12:31,640 --> 01:12:33,519
Speaker 8: the very end of the pay play, you can see

1458
01:12:33,560 --> 01:12:36,000
Speaker 8: Mark he's good one shoot across the field and just

1459
01:12:36,400 --> 01:12:38,560
Speaker 8: knock somebody out. And I feel like I was a

1460
01:12:38,600 --> 01:12:41,120
Speaker 8: big helping a touchdown, and like I didn't realize it

1461
01:12:41,200 --> 01:12:43,320
Speaker 8: until I watched it again on film and I'm like, dang,

1462
01:12:44,160 --> 01:12:45,360
Speaker 8: he really smacked that dude.

1463
01:12:45,400 --> 01:12:46,880
Speaker 4: So yeah, that's my favorite part of that play.

1464
01:12:47,000 --> 01:12:50,800
Speaker 6: And Jerome, you've obviously looked really hard this year. Would

1465
01:12:50,800 --> 01:12:53,760
Speaker 6: you like some time off Sunday to rest up for

1466
01:12:53,880 --> 01:12:57,439
Speaker 6: the playoffs or how do you look through that personally?

1467
01:12:57,560 --> 01:12:57,760
Speaker 5: For you?

1468
01:12:58,720 --> 01:12:58,840
Speaker 4: Uh?

1469
01:12:59,080 --> 01:13:01,720
Speaker 8: Like I said before AFC opponent, you know in our

1470
01:13:01,800 --> 01:13:07,120
Speaker 8: division looking to go one and know so I'm ready

1471
01:13:07,160 --> 01:13:08,560
Speaker 8: to come up, step up, do what i gotta do

1472
01:13:08,600 --> 01:13:09,080
Speaker 8: to get the win.

1473
01:13:09,320 --> 01:13:10,040
Speaker 4: My numbers called.

1474
01:13:10,800 --> 01:13:13,160
Speaker 3: But do you think you need rests? Uh?

1475
01:13:13,720 --> 01:13:17,320
Speaker 4: That's probably a coach some for coach of Fanski Jrome.

1476
01:13:17,680 --> 01:13:19,639
Speaker 11: I was looking at what you said about that fifty

1477
01:13:19,680 --> 01:13:21,640
Speaker 11: years touchdown after the game, and you talked about the

1478
01:13:21,760 --> 01:13:25,160
Speaker 11: scramble drills like aspect of it. I guess what's that

1479
01:13:25,320 --> 01:13:28,559
Speaker 11: been like developing those kind of plays and that kind

1480
01:13:28,560 --> 01:13:31,160
Speaker 11: of chemistry with Joe since he got here so late.

1481
01:13:31,280 --> 01:13:32,559
Speaker 11: And how do you think you guys have done.

1482
01:13:32,439 --> 01:13:34,960
Speaker 8: That we had already been practicing it, and you know,

1483
01:13:35,120 --> 01:13:37,479
Speaker 8: just to get join ball. You can see it paid

1484
01:13:37,479 --> 01:13:40,240
Speaker 8: off for us on Thursday. I was wanna say Sunday,

1485
01:13:40,439 --> 01:13:43,280
Speaker 8: but Thursday, and you know, just continuing to drid the

1486
01:13:43,320 --> 01:13:45,799
Speaker 8: little things because when the game come in, a situation's

1487
01:13:45,800 --> 01:13:47,080
Speaker 8: come up, they could be a big plays for us.

1488
01:13:47,160 --> 01:13:50,280
Speaker 6: Hero going to the playoffs will be your first time, Like,

1489
01:13:50,680 --> 01:13:53,080

1490
01:13:53,120 --> 01:13:55,479
Speaker 6: you player don't, Just kind of getting prepared, whether it's

1491
01:13:55,520 --> 01:13:57,639
Speaker 6: mentally and physically for the trip.

1492
01:13:57,520 --> 01:13:58,040
Speaker 3: To the playoffs.

1493
01:13:59,240 --> 01:14:01,760
Speaker 8: Right now, we're not even looking at the playoffs. You know,

1494
01:14:01,800 --> 01:14:04,479
Speaker 8: I'm just continuing my routine and getting ready for the

1495
01:14:04,520 --> 01:14:07,200
Speaker 8: Bengals right now. So just making sure my routine is

1496
01:14:07,760 --> 01:14:12,120
Speaker 8: still intact and making sure that I'm ready with my numbers.

1497
01:14:12,160 --> 01:14:13,719
Speaker 4: Called on Sunday to play against the Bengals.

1498
01:14:14,200 --> 01:14:16,080
Speaker 6: And I know you had that big touchdown to play

1499
01:14:16,160 --> 01:14:19,040
Speaker 6: after Elijah got hurt. But I was watching the replay

1500
01:14:19,040 --> 01:14:21,719
Speaker 6: and you're standing right there, you're calling for the medical people.

1501
01:14:21,760 --> 01:14:24,479
Speaker 6: So how scary was that moment for you to see

1502
01:14:24,520 --> 01:14:25,320
Speaker 6: Elijah down like that?

1503
01:14:25,680 --> 01:14:26,400
Speaker 4: It was really scary.

1504
01:14:26,439 --> 01:14:28,519
Speaker 8: I ran over there to pick him up, and you know,

1505
01:14:29,600 --> 01:14:33,160
Speaker 8: just everybody could see what happened on you know, the play,

1506
01:14:33,280 --> 01:14:36,280
Speaker 8: but he wouldn't get up, and you know, he kind

1507
01:14:36,280 --> 01:14:39,799
Speaker 8: of jolted and like it was scary for me, especially

1508
01:14:39,840 --> 01:14:43,040
Speaker 8: seeing a teammate like that, and I didn't know what

1509
01:14:43,240 --> 01:14:45,000
Speaker 8: was going on. I just knew we needed help, and

1510
01:14:45,040 --> 01:14:46,160
Speaker 8: I wanted to make sure that you got to help

1511
01:14:46,160 --> 01:14:47,040
Speaker 8: as fast as possible.

1512
01:14:48,000 --> 01:14:50,960
Speaker 10: Had Jerome and watching some of the highlights again over

1513
01:14:51,600 --> 01:14:54,800
Speaker 10: you know, you see Joe out there yelling, you know,

1514
01:14:54,960 --> 01:14:58,000
Speaker 10: let's effing go, and you know, you know, fist bumping,

1515
01:14:58,520 --> 01:14:59,920
Speaker 10: you know, and pointing to the sky after your touch

1516
01:15:00,080 --> 01:15:02,960
Speaker 10: down and just the all the things that he did

1517
01:15:03,240 --> 01:15:05,479
Speaker 10: during the game. And you know, I think a lot

1518
01:15:05,520 --> 01:15:07,000
Speaker 10: of people think of him sometimes as sort of a

1519
01:15:07,040 --> 01:15:09,600
Speaker 10: buttoned up guy. So my question is, just you know,

1520
01:15:09,680 --> 01:15:12,920
Speaker 10: how fiery is he, how fired up does he get,

1521
01:15:13,120 --> 01:15:15,679
Speaker 10: and how maybe I don't know, are you surprised about

1522
01:15:15,680 --> 01:15:17,040
Speaker 10: any of that stuff.

1523
01:15:17,560 --> 01:15:19,439
Speaker 8: Joe get real fired up, as you can see on

1524
01:15:20,360 --> 01:15:24,160
Speaker 8: those big plays. He gets fired up all the town. Yeah,

1525
01:15:24,160 --> 01:15:26,240
Speaker 8: he can. He can be a button up dude, like

1526
01:15:26,360 --> 01:15:28,200
Speaker 8: you said, but I feel like for the most part,

1527
01:15:28,400 --> 01:15:30,280
Speaker 8: you know, in practicing and games, he can get real

1528
01:15:30,439 --> 01:15:30,840
Speaker 8: fired up.

1529
01:15:30,880 --> 01:15:32,519
Speaker 4: And he'll bring a lot of juice and energy to

1530
01:15:32,640 --> 01:15:32,960
Speaker 4: the team.

1531
01:15:34,200 --> 01:15:37,160
Speaker 2: All right, That is Jerome Ford. They're actually tough for

1532
01:15:37,240 --> 01:15:39,160
Speaker 2: a guy to be asked on Monday what the plans are.

1533
01:15:39,240 --> 01:15:41,040
Speaker 2: Nobody knows exactly what the Browns are going to do

1534
01:15:41,160 --> 01:15:45,200
Speaker 2: this Sunday against the Bengals. Yeah, but I in fairness,

1535
01:15:45,240 --> 01:15:48,680
Speaker 2: you got to ask because I mean, they you know,

1536
01:15:48,920 --> 01:15:51,760
Speaker 2: I'm sure some people have already been told. I would

1537
01:15:51,800 --> 01:15:55,160
Speaker 2: imagine I would think, so they'll get or they're going

1538
01:15:55,200 --> 01:15:56,880
Speaker 2: to find out the correct Yeah.

1539
01:15:57,360 --> 01:16:00,200
Speaker 3: I think that the coaching staff's working through all this,

1540
01:16:00,479 --> 01:16:05,479
Speaker 3: so I get it. But yeah, I mean, and frankly,

1541
01:16:06,120 --> 01:16:08,040
Speaker 3: as is the case, like we're not going to give

1542
01:16:08,080 --> 01:16:11,320
Speaker 3: you a lot, like we're focused on like coach said

1543
01:16:11,360 --> 01:16:14,559
Speaker 3: it yesterday, we want to win this game Sunday. We're

1544
01:16:14,720 --> 01:16:16,760
Speaker 3: we're putting together a game play. We're not just gonna

1545
01:16:16,800 --> 01:16:19,400
Speaker 3: lay down and get ready for the playoffs of course.

1546
01:16:20,040 --> 01:16:22,840
Speaker 3: So I mean there's a little bit of gamesmanship still,

1547
01:16:22,920 --> 01:16:25,720
Speaker 3: and it's a divisional game. You heard Jerome Ford say it,

1548
01:16:25,800 --> 01:16:26,760
Speaker 3: it's still important.

1549
01:16:27,280 --> 01:16:27,519
Speaker 4: It is.

1550
01:16:27,800 --> 01:16:31,479
Speaker 2: It is very important, by the way. Watching the playback,

1551
01:16:31,640 --> 01:16:34,120
Speaker 2: and I love what he loved was Marquis Goben so

1552
01:16:34,160 --> 01:16:36,120
Speaker 2: when he catches bout to forty Marquis Gobns that completely

1553
01:16:36,160 --> 01:16:39,200
Speaker 2: on the other sideline, sprints around and is able to

1554
01:16:39,200 --> 01:16:40,880
Speaker 2: get a nice block right at the very end he

1555
01:16:41,040 --> 01:16:42,519
Speaker 2: takes out number ninety four.

1556
01:16:42,920 --> 01:16:43,200
Speaker 5: Amazing.

1557
01:16:43,240 --> 01:16:46,800
Speaker 2: The defensive tackle Solomon Thomas, which was unbelievable, The great

1558
01:16:46,840 --> 01:16:49,519
Speaker 2: little effort, the little extra things that turned big plays

1559
01:16:49,880 --> 01:16:52,759
Speaker 2: into touchdowns, and that was huge for the Cleveland Browns.

1560
01:16:52,800 --> 01:16:54,840
Speaker 2: Great job by the way of Joe Flacco getting Now

1561
01:16:54,840 --> 01:16:57,040
Speaker 2: they're still crazy. There was not a penalty called on

1562
01:16:57,200 --> 01:17:00,679
Speaker 2: Quinnin Williams on that one, but nonetheless touched down Brown's

1563
01:17:00,720 --> 01:17:03,160
Speaker 2: one of those great iconic moments. By the way, the

1564
01:17:03,200 --> 01:17:05,320
Speaker 2: white uniforms. If it weren't for a lot of crazy

1565
01:17:05,360 --> 01:17:07,120
Speaker 2: stuff happening in Pittsburgh, you might have gone three and

1566
01:17:07,160 --> 01:17:08,800
Speaker 2: oh in those you beat the Niners, you beat the Jets,

1567
01:17:08,800 --> 01:17:10,760
Speaker 2: you won. You're two in a row. So that's good

1568
01:17:10,760 --> 01:17:13,599
Speaker 2: because I think they look awesome and I'm excited, yes,

1569
01:17:13,720 --> 01:17:17,720
Speaker 2: that there's going to be some positives going forward. All

Speaker 3: Frank Ryan guy, Yes, very big fan.

1601
01:19:07,040 --> 01:19:09,799

1602
01:19:10,200 --> 01:19:12,280
Speaker 2: you more in the loss of a Cleveland Browns legend.

1603
01:19:12,439 --> 01:19:15,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, indeed, our guy Tom McCarthy on the call of

1604
01:19:15,960 --> 01:19:16,799
Speaker 3: the game, by the way.

1605
01:19:16,800 --> 01:19:18,160
Speaker 2: I know how about it.

1606
01:19:18,400 --> 01:19:22,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, games days ago. Yeah, we haven't had we haven't

1607
01:19:22,960 --> 01:19:23,920
Speaker 3: had James in forever.

1608
01:19:24,439 --> 01:19:25,920
Speaker 2: So I think the last time we had him was

1609
01:19:25,960 --> 01:19:28,040
Speaker 2: the Browns Bills in Detroit.

1610
01:19:28,720 --> 01:19:34,479
Speaker 3: Oh, the one crew couldn't get there. Yeah I did. Yeah,

1611
01:19:34,560 --> 01:19:38,400
Speaker 3: you're right, all right, let's go because we have ten

1612
01:19:38,479 --> 01:19:43,840
Speaker 3: minutes to do. Fourteen games one thought every week, seventeen

1613
01:19:44,000 --> 01:19:48,479
Speaker 3: game Cowboys twenty Leon's nineteen zigir.

1614
01:19:49,960 --> 01:19:52,360
Speaker 2: I still don't really feel like I totally understand what

1615
01:19:52,439 --> 01:19:53,720
Speaker 2: happened at the end of that game. By the way,

1616
01:19:53,760 --> 01:19:55,680
Speaker 2: Brad Allen's crew, which is how the playoffs is doing

1617
01:19:55,720 --> 01:19:58,959
Speaker 2: Steelers Ravens on national TV and not make either.

1618
01:19:58,800 --> 01:20:01,000
Speaker 3: One of the can't make the Steelers feel good but.

1619
01:20:01,240 --> 01:20:04,560
Speaker 2: Good, I don't know about that. You just got to

1620
01:20:04,560 --> 01:20:06,880
Speaker 2: get these things right. This was an awesome game, awesome

1621
01:20:06,960 --> 01:20:10,559
Speaker 2: finish it was. It helped Miss k win her fantasy league.

1622
01:20:10,680 --> 01:20:14,320
Speaker 2: She won by only a couple points. Uh, but if

1623
01:20:14,439 --> 01:20:16,560
Speaker 2: you if we tuned in late to this game, and

1624
01:20:16,640 --> 01:20:20,559
Speaker 2: so all we watched was the Lions from the point

1625
01:20:20,600 --> 01:20:23,560
Speaker 2: that the Cowboys made that forty yard field goal to

1626
01:20:23,640 --> 01:20:26,439
Speaker 2: take the lead and then the Lions went down or

1627
01:20:26,479 --> 01:20:29,800
Speaker 2: to go up seven, the Lions went down. So she

1628
01:20:29,920 --> 01:20:32,679
Speaker 2: had the Dallas kicker that was four. It's a PPR league.

1629
01:20:32,680 --> 01:20:35,120
Speaker 2: She had aman Ross, Saint Brown, and Laporta. They caught

1630
01:20:35,200 --> 01:20:37,519
Speaker 2: every pass on that drive. Every single pass that was

1631
01:20:37,560 --> 01:20:39,320
Speaker 2: thrown by Golf on that drive was to Laporta or

1632
01:20:39,320 --> 01:20:42,120
Speaker 2: Amra and then a'man Ras scored and that won her

1633
01:20:42,400 --> 01:20:44,000
Speaker 2: the title. So she won that league. Now the first

1634
01:20:44,080 --> 01:20:46,519
Speaker 2: year that was in existence and now here, so they

1635
01:20:46,520 --> 01:20:48,920
Speaker 2: said you're the bookend champion. You're the only person who

1636
01:20:48,920 --> 01:20:50,120
Speaker 2: ever gonna be the Book D champion and you're the

1637
01:20:50,120 --> 01:20:53,479
Speaker 2: Book D champions. No, but she is as a right

1638
01:20:53,520 --> 01:20:54,880
Speaker 2: for a calendar year at least she's gonna be the

1639
01:20:54,880 --> 01:20:58,080
Speaker 2: Book D champion. Okay, I was gonna say it was confused.

1640
01:20:59,000 --> 01:21:05,720
Speaker 2: Ravens fifty six, Dolphins nineteen back to back weeks. They

1641
01:21:05,880 --> 01:21:08,360
Speaker 2: blasted the Niners and they blasted Dolphins. You gotta give

1642
01:21:08,400 --> 01:21:10,599
Speaker 2: them their respect. They are playing currently like the best

1643
01:21:10,640 --> 01:21:11,920
Speaker 2: team in the National Football League.

1644
01:21:13,600 --> 01:21:17,080
Speaker 3: Nasty. I know the narrative is out there about the Dolphins.

1645
01:21:17,240 --> 01:21:21,320
Speaker 2: Lamar's nasty, but clearly the Dolphins are not living up

1646
01:21:21,360 --> 01:21:23,640
Speaker 2: to the hype of being able to win a on

1647
01:21:23,800 --> 01:21:29,479
Speaker 2: the road and b correct to be fair, fair, and

1648
01:21:29,640 --> 01:21:32,800
Speaker 2: you're right, No, you're right. They were without most hurt

1649
01:21:32,920 --> 01:21:35,920
Speaker 2: and they were without Wattle, and that's a big deal.

1650
01:21:36,000 --> 01:21:37,879
Speaker 2: Those are most are I think I had twenty touchdowns

1651
01:21:37,920 --> 01:21:40,760
Speaker 2: this year, yes, said twenty one. Yeah, so twenty one.

1652
01:21:41,160 --> 01:21:44,600
Speaker 2: Wattle's very good. So they were kind of in it.

1653
01:21:44,800 --> 01:21:48,720
Speaker 2: But I'll tell you what, Lamar is just eighteen to

1654
01:21:48,800 --> 01:21:51,360
Speaker 2: twenty one to three twenty one five touchdowns he ran for.

1655
01:21:51,520 --> 01:21:56,320
Speaker 2: I mean, he's playing unbelievable football, just unbelievable football.

1656
01:21:57,000 --> 01:22:02,160
Speaker 3: Bill's twenty seven Patriots twenty one closer.

1657
01:22:01,880 --> 01:22:05,360
Speaker 2: Than it should have been. Yeah, honestly, considering that they

1658
01:22:05,479 --> 01:22:08,240
Speaker 2: had I'm pretty sure Bailey'szappi because I played against the

1659
01:22:08,280 --> 01:22:10,439
Speaker 2: Bills d in the one league I didn't win. They

1660
01:22:10,479 --> 01:22:12,640
Speaker 2: had like three picks, including a pick six in the

1661
01:22:12,720 --> 01:22:16,960
Speaker 2: first quarter. He has Zappy threw three picks. I don't

1662
01:22:17,040 --> 01:22:18,760
Speaker 2: understand this one ended up twenty seven to twenty one.

1663
01:22:18,760 --> 01:22:19,240
Speaker 3: I really don't.

1664
01:22:19,240 --> 01:22:21,760
Speaker 2: I don't quite get it. I don't know why they

1665
01:22:21,760 --> 01:22:25,080
Speaker 2: didn't destroy it. They were up twenty to seven in

1666
01:22:25,160 --> 01:22:28,120
Speaker 2: the second quarter and then twenty seven to fourteen to

1667
01:22:28,120 --> 01:22:29,560
Speaker 2: the third, and they kind of just cruised home. I

1668
01:22:29,600 --> 01:22:30,160
Speaker 2: guess that's as all.

1669
01:22:30,200 --> 01:22:31,920
Speaker 3: The Bills have won four in a row since that

1670
01:22:32,120 --> 01:22:36,000
Speaker 3: lost to the to the Eagles, yep, and really they

1671
01:22:36,040 --> 01:22:39,679
Speaker 3: had a chance to win that one. So I don't

1672
01:22:39,680 --> 01:22:43,280
Speaker 3: know something that bears watching up next Bears thirty seven,

1673
01:22:43,360 --> 01:22:50,439
Speaker 3: Gutlass Falcons seventeen. The Bears, they're seven to nine kids, Yep,

1674
01:22:51,040 --> 01:22:51,599
Speaker 3: they've won.

1675
01:22:51,520 --> 01:22:52,120
Speaker 2: Two in a row.

1676
01:22:52,320 --> 01:22:56,519
Speaker 3: They're playing really good football. So here's the deal.

1677
01:23:01,560 --> 01:23:04,240
Speaker 2: Are in an interesting situation, and I still think Justin

1678
01:23:04,280 --> 01:23:06,080
Speaker 2: Fields will play for the Atlanta Falcons next year. But

1679
01:23:06,120 --> 01:23:08,400
Speaker 2: I think they have the most fascinating off season of

1680
01:23:08,479 --> 01:23:11,160
Speaker 2: any team in the league. Fields is good, he played

1681
01:23:11,200 --> 01:23:13,240
Speaker 2: great in this one. Let me this ship. Thank you

1682
01:23:13,360 --> 01:23:16,200
Speaker 2: very much, Justin. We said by all year. They're a

1683
01:23:16,400 --> 01:23:19,320
Speaker 2: fascinating Their off season is going to be fascinating. What

1684
01:23:19,560 --> 01:23:21,840
Speaker 2: do they do? Do they draft a quarterback? My guess

1685
01:23:21,960 --> 01:23:24,160
Speaker 2: is yes, and they trade Fields for I think at

1686
01:23:24,160 --> 01:23:26,120
Speaker 2: this point you can get a one for him. I

1687
01:23:26,160 --> 01:23:29,559
Speaker 2: think he's looked that good, that improved. It's gonna be wild.

1688
01:23:29,680 --> 01:23:31,439
Speaker 2: Or do they trade the one number one pick for

1689
01:23:31,560 --> 01:23:34,800
Speaker 2: like three ones and just build a super team around them. Yeah,

1690
01:23:34,840 --> 01:23:36,760
Speaker 2: they have a lot of options. It's gonna be fascinating.

1691
01:23:37,360 --> 01:23:40,960
Speaker 2: Falcons stink, by the way. Some developing news from Tom Pelasero.

1692
01:23:41,520 --> 01:23:43,680
Speaker 2: Four time Pro Bowl running back Dalvin Cook and the

1693
01:23:43,800 --> 01:23:46,519
Speaker 2: Jets have mutually agreed to part ways, allowing Cook the

1694
01:23:46,600 --> 01:23:50,400
Speaker 2: opportunity to play for a playoff team for his agency

1695
01:23:51,040 --> 01:23:55,519
Speaker 2: la A Sports Entertainment. The dynamic playmaker has fresh legs

1696
01:23:55,560 --> 01:23:57,720
Speaker 2: after minimal usage in New York, can now compete for

1697
01:23:57,760 --> 01:24:02,080
Speaker 2: a Super Bowl? Be interesting? I mean he knows our

1698
01:24:02,160 --> 01:24:04,720
Speaker 2: offense and our scheme. Well, Stefanski knows him from his

1699
01:24:04,880 --> 01:24:07,640
Speaker 2: time in Minnesota. You know, with the Browns, be a

1700
01:24:07,680 --> 01:24:11,160
Speaker 2: team that would consider it. He appears to have lost

1701
01:24:11,200 --> 01:24:14,080
Speaker 2: a step this year, but he knows this offense and

1702
01:24:14,240 --> 01:24:17,639
Speaker 2: he knows this scheme. So as a short term rental

1703
01:24:18,320 --> 01:24:21,439
Speaker 2: to kind of buttress drone forward and Kareem and Pierre,

1704
01:24:21,640 --> 01:24:24,080
Speaker 2: would you consider it? I think you'd probably take a look.

1705
01:24:24,479 --> 01:24:24,679
Speaker 3: Yep.

1706
01:24:24,720 --> 01:24:26,840
Speaker 2: I'm sure you have the discussions. I think that's for sure.

1707
01:24:27,160 --> 01:24:27,360
Speaker 5: Yep.

1708
01:24:28,120 --> 01:24:31,400
Speaker 3: All right to the AFC South Texans get back on track. CJ.

1709
01:24:31,560 --> 01:24:36,120
Speaker 3: Stroud back twenty six to three over the Tennessee Titans. Yeah,

1710
01:24:36,439 --> 01:24:38,760
Speaker 3: Levis left, Yeah, they knocked him out of the game.

1711
01:24:38,920 --> 01:24:42,280
Speaker 3: The Texans are the Texans to me, are the scariest

1712
01:24:42,439 --> 01:24:47,080
Speaker 3: NFC South team AFC South teams. Yeah, they're the scariest

1713
01:24:47,120 --> 01:24:50,840
Speaker 3: one because they've got the quarterback, they've got an offense

1714
01:24:50,880 --> 01:24:52,200
Speaker 3: that can put points up on the board, and then

1715
01:24:52,200 --> 01:24:55,120
Speaker 3: their defense, when they're healthy, that defense can get after

1716
01:24:55,160 --> 01:24:55,719
Speaker 3: the quarterbacks.

1717
01:24:55,760 --> 01:24:59,400
Speaker 2: Stroud two thirteen in a touchdown. Singletary's running it well,

1718
01:24:59,479 --> 01:25:01,800
Speaker 2: Niko Koa is the top target and he's been very,

1719
01:25:01,920 --> 01:25:04,680
Speaker 2: very good. And then you think about the defense. You

1720
01:25:04,760 --> 01:25:07,320
Speaker 2: know they got Will Anderson back in this one. He

1721
01:25:07,439 --> 01:25:10,680
Speaker 2: had two sacks. They still are without their leading SEC

1722
01:25:10,720 --> 01:25:13,920
Speaker 2: get Or Grenard, but Derek Barnett's getting sacks every week.

1723
01:25:15,520 --> 01:25:20,160
Speaker 2: They're good. They're good. They're the team that I think

1724
01:25:20,400 --> 01:25:22,200
Speaker 2: is if you were to rank the three teams, I'm

1725
01:25:22,200 --> 01:25:23,560
Speaker 2: not afraid of any of them. We've never lost the

1726
01:25:23,760 --> 01:25:26,479
Speaker 2: AFC South or with Kevin Sefanski as the head coach,

1727
01:25:26,920 --> 01:25:29,720
Speaker 2: but they'd probably be the team that I would least

1728
01:25:29,840 --> 01:25:30,320
Speaker 2: like to play.

1729
01:25:30,520 --> 01:25:33,760
Speaker 3: Yep, next I'd like to play. Yeah, Colts twenty three

1730
01:25:33,960 --> 01:25:39,160
Speaker 3: Raiders twenty Raiders came back made it interesting. But uh, Minshew,

1731
01:25:39,240 --> 01:25:41,800
Speaker 3: Mania hangs on and the Colts, where's this?

1732
01:25:41,920 --> 01:25:44,519
Speaker 2: DeVante Adams been all year? Good? Better late than never.

1733
01:25:44,640 --> 01:25:46,599
Speaker 2: We'll take it in the title game. Thirteen for one

1734
01:25:46,640 --> 01:25:49,720
Speaker 2: to twenty six and two touchdowns. Yeah, this one was

1735
01:25:49,800 --> 01:25:51,680
Speaker 2: closer than maybe you thought it would be. It was

1736
01:25:51,720 --> 01:25:54,080
Speaker 2: fourteen to three at the half. They did a good job.

1737
01:25:54,160 --> 01:25:57,800
Speaker 2: Minshew Taylor, you know this is an offense though, I

1738
01:25:57,920 --> 01:25:59,519
Speaker 2: really think the Colts are the team that i'd probably

1739
01:25:59,520 --> 01:26:02,040
Speaker 2: be the most excited to play. I think that offense

1740
01:26:02,160 --> 01:26:04,760
Speaker 2: is easy. It is you can shut that offense down.

1741
01:26:05,320 --> 01:26:09,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, Uh, Jacksonville shuts out Carolina twenty six. Nothing, the

1742
01:26:09,960 --> 01:26:12,760
Speaker 3: Panthers owner creating all the news story and this one

1743
01:26:12,840 --> 01:26:14,080
Speaker 3: throwing a drink out of fans.

1744
01:26:14,120 --> 01:26:14,800
Speaker 2: What's going to happen?

1745
01:26:15,840 --> 01:26:18,840
Speaker 3: You have to send a message that that is not acceptable,

1746
01:26:18,920 --> 01:26:21,840
Speaker 3: Number one. Number two, if you don't want to deal

1747
01:26:21,920 --> 01:26:24,760
Speaker 3: with the fans and heckling fans, which is going to

1748
01:26:24,840 --> 01:26:29,280
Speaker 3: happen when the windows are open, close the windows, yep.

1749
01:26:29,720 --> 01:26:31,840
Speaker 3: Enjoy the game with the windows closed. Yep.

1750
01:26:33,240 --> 01:26:37,240
Speaker 2: Just a pretty calm, easy win here for the for

1751
01:26:37,320 --> 01:26:40,680
Speaker 2: the Jacksonville Jags with a backup quarterback. The backup quarterback, Yah,

1752
01:26:40,760 --> 01:26:42,960
Speaker 2: as easy as it could be each big game.

1753
01:26:43,320 --> 01:26:45,760
Speaker 3: Uh, the Rams got everything they could handle and then

1754
01:26:45,880 --> 01:26:48,559
Speaker 3: some from the New York Football Giants Rams twenty six,

1755
01:26:48,720 --> 01:26:49,719
Speaker 3: Giants twenty five.

1756
01:26:49,800 --> 01:26:51,920
Speaker 2: As the Rams go, they should have lost this game,

1757
01:26:52,280 --> 01:26:55,280
Speaker 2: by the way, Kyrone Williams, thank you very much, not one,

1758
01:26:55,400 --> 01:26:58,160
Speaker 2: not two, but three touchdowns. Chefs, yess, thank you so much.

1759
01:26:58,760 --> 01:26:58,880
Speaker 5: Uh.

1760
01:26:59,080 --> 01:27:02,160
Speaker 2: Phukanakua now as the second most receiving yards by a

1761
01:27:02,240 --> 01:27:05,519
Speaker 2: rookie in NFL history. The list of people that he's on,

1762
01:27:05,680 --> 01:27:10,960
Speaker 2: I think it's Jamar Chase him Justin Jefferson Odell like

1763
01:27:11,120 --> 01:27:13,320
Speaker 2: pretty good company for Puka Nakua. He had five for

1764
01:27:13,400 --> 01:27:15,160
Speaker 2: one to eighteen in this one. Giant should have won

1765
01:27:15,240 --> 01:27:16,920
Speaker 2: this game. It would have been really cool if it

1766
01:27:16,960 --> 01:27:18,400
Speaker 2: got to be Kaid York that got to kick that

1767
01:27:18,479 --> 01:27:20,479
Speaker 2: field goal, but he got hurt. It was Mason Crosby

1768
01:27:20,560 --> 01:27:20,960
Speaker 2: he missed it.

1769
01:27:21,320 --> 01:27:24,519
Speaker 3: Uh interesting, you know that was that could have been

1770
01:27:24,520 --> 01:27:27,479
Speaker 3: a huge loss. We talked about Stefanski, we talk about

1771
01:27:27,920 --> 01:27:30,479
Speaker 3: Coach of the Year candidates I think under the radar,

1772
01:27:31,000 --> 01:27:32,920
Speaker 3: and a guy who probably should get mentioned in the

1773
01:27:32,960 --> 01:27:36,679
Speaker 3: conversation is probably McVeigh because no one thought this team

1774
01:27:36,800 --> 01:27:39,120
Speaker 3: was gonna be guess anything. We thought it they'd be

1775
01:27:39,240 --> 01:27:41,400
Speaker 3: fire sailing at the trade deadline. Instead they're going to

1776
01:27:41,439 --> 01:27:45,439
Speaker 3: the playoffs. Yep. Next Cardinals thirty five, Eagles thirty one

1777
01:27:45,640 --> 01:27:48,360
Speaker 3: in a game that I don't understand how the Eagles lost,

1778
01:27:48,479 --> 01:27:49,200
Speaker 3: but they did.

1779
01:27:50,120 --> 01:27:52,640
Speaker 2: It's wild. Kyler Murray twenty five of thirty one, two

1780
01:27:52,760 --> 01:27:55,439
Speaker 2: thirty two and three. Connor won twenty eight and a touchdown.

1781
01:27:55,479 --> 01:27:58,720
Speaker 2: Connor also caught a touchdown. Uh, they played great. This

1782
01:27:58,880 --> 01:28:02,640
Speaker 2: Eagles team, they're just they're just off. They're not explosive

1783
01:28:02,680 --> 01:28:07,280
Speaker 2: at all. You know AJ Brown earlier this year. Listen

1784
01:28:07,320 --> 01:28:09,000
Speaker 2: to what he did. This is the start of the season.

1785
01:28:09,479 --> 01:28:11,479
Speaker 2: Seven for seventy nine, four for twenty nine. Then he

1786
01:28:11,520 --> 01:28:13,920
Speaker 2: goes on a tear nine for one thirty one, nine

1787
01:28:14,000 --> 01:28:16,240
Speaker 2: for one seventy five and two six for one twenty seven,

1788
01:28:16,320 --> 01:28:18,599
Speaker 2: seven for one thirty one, ten for one thirty seven,

1789
01:28:18,720 --> 01:28:21,680
Speaker 2: eight for one thirty. He has only had one one

1790
01:28:21,800 --> 01:28:26,040
Speaker 2: hundred yard game though in November and December. He has

1791
01:28:26,160 --> 01:28:30,080
Speaker 2: not scored since November the twenty sixth. They just have

1792
01:28:30,280 --> 01:28:32,760
Speaker 2: lost their way. There's something broken with that offense. I

1793
01:28:32,800 --> 01:28:33,800
Speaker 2: don't know exactly what it is.

1794
01:28:34,160 --> 01:28:37,439
Speaker 3: All Right, rapid fire here. We don't need to talk

1795
01:28:37,439 --> 01:28:39,320
Speaker 3: about the forty nine ers beating the Commies. They took

1796
01:28:39,360 --> 01:28:41,760
Speaker 3: care of business. They got back on track out on

1797
01:28:41,840 --> 01:28:45,200
Speaker 3: a short week. Good job by them. Broncos beat the Chargers,

1798
01:28:45,640 --> 01:28:48,240
Speaker 3: doesn't matter. They're eliminated at eight and eight and they're

1799
01:28:48,520 --> 01:28:52,960
Speaker 3: trying to find a new quarterback. Chiefs twenty five, Bengals seventeen.

1800
01:28:54,600 --> 01:28:58,599
Speaker 2: Again, Chiefs are having issues as well. Yep, they saw

1801
01:28:58,640 --> 01:29:00,960
Speaker 2: people fighting on the sideline again for the second straight week.

1802
01:29:01,000 --> 01:29:04,400
Speaker 2: It just they don't they don't feel like a team

1803
01:29:04,520 --> 01:29:06,200
Speaker 2: that is that is making a run. But they've been

1804
01:29:06,240 --> 01:29:08,840
Speaker 2: to five straight AFC championship games and so they've got

1805
01:29:08,880 --> 01:29:10,360
Speaker 2: some that mystique. But they're gonna have to go do

1806
01:29:10,400 --> 01:29:12,080
Speaker 2: it on the road. Mahomes has never played a road

1807
01:29:12,120 --> 01:29:15,040
Speaker 2: playoff game, and he's going to have to, yeah this year.

1808
01:29:15,040 --> 01:29:17,360
Speaker 2: And then the other one was Saints Tampa. Yep, not

1809
01:29:17,479 --> 01:29:19,920
Speaker 2: a great performance from the Bucks. They were down twenty

1810
01:29:20,000 --> 01:29:21,760
Speaker 2: nothing going into the fourth court. So this game was

1811
01:29:21,800 --> 01:29:24,040
Speaker 2: not even as close as it appears to have been.

1812
01:29:24,240 --> 01:29:26,240
Speaker 3: And the Packers get back on track. They beat the

1813
01:29:26,360 --> 01:29:29,400
Speaker 3: Vikings thirty three to ten on Sunday night football. Gross

1814
01:29:29,560 --> 01:29:31,519
Speaker 3: game that should have been flexed. That should have never

1815
01:29:31,640 --> 01:29:33,840
Speaker 3: stayed on Sunday night. I don't know why it did.

1816
01:29:35,160 --> 01:29:38,960
Speaker 3: Should have never stayed, but yep, so be it. And

1817
01:29:39,040 --> 01:29:42,599
Speaker 3: then the steel Steelers beat the Seahawks thirty to twenty three. Whatever.

1818
01:29:43,439 --> 01:29:46,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, still not going to get into the playoffs, Yeah, exactly. Whatever?

1819
01:29:46,560 --> 01:29:48,479
Speaker 2: All right, so much more to come here. You are

1826
01:30:20,439 --> 01:30:24,480
Speaker 3: Turn the page to the Bengals, the Northern Kentucky Bengals.

1827
01:30:24,520 --> 01:30:26,400
Speaker 2: That's right, I'm going to call them at this first Friday.

1828
01:30:26,960 --> 01:30:31,800
Speaker 2: First Friday. Uh, the business might be picking up on

1829
01:30:31,960 --> 01:30:34,439
Speaker 2: the set by Friday. What's that mean?

1830
01:30:35,520 --> 01:30:40,280
Speaker 3: Could be some larger than life luminaries making an appearance

1831
01:30:40,360 --> 01:30:41,880
Speaker 3: on this show. Why are you keeping me in the

1832
01:30:41,960 --> 01:30:44,479
Speaker 3: dark because I haven't had a chance to even talk.

1833
01:30:44,360 --> 01:30:44,840
Speaker 4: To you about it?

1834
01:30:45,120 --> 01:30:46,640
Speaker 2: All right, Well, hopefully you can do that. It's going

1835
01:30:46,680 --> 01:30:48,759
Speaker 2: to be heard about it earlier.

1836
01:30:49,240 --> 01:30:51,720
Speaker 7: You know, it was mentioned to me that it's a

1837
01:30:51,800 --> 01:30:53,719
Speaker 7: possibility would be a really fun surprise.

1838
01:30:53,960 --> 01:30:54,920
