33
00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:07,040
Speaker 2: Richard Sherman Podcast. Another unpredictable and wild week in the

34
00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:13,079
Speaker 2: National Football League. Mitchell, what did you think, Richard?

35
00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:16,040
Speaker 1: My Lions weren't playing today, but your San Francisco forty

36
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:19,560
Speaker 1: nine ers were, and I didn't expect much of this game.

37
00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:23,600
Speaker 1: San Francisco took it to him early. Let's start with

38
00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:28,840
Speaker 1: San Francisco because their defense looked like San Francisco defense, Richard,

39
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:31,519
Speaker 1: I'm more curious about your thoughts here, because the name

40
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:35,680
Speaker 1: of the game today was defense for the San Francisco

41
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:38,320
Speaker 1: forty nine ers. Your thoughts, my friend.

42
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:41,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, they played phenomenal. The pass rush was back and

43
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:45,560
Speaker 2: you were getting it from everywhere. Moliite Collins was putting pressure.

44
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:48,160
Speaker 2: He played a phenomenal game. He has been an impact

45
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:51,680
Speaker 2: player throughout the beginning of the season. He's been a

46
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:55,240
Speaker 2: great addition. Kevin Gibvens had his best game as a pro.

47
00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:59,079
Speaker 2: Two and a half sacks, Nicholas john Bosa all day.

48
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:01,520
Speaker 2: He was chopped at the bitch all day. He was

49
00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:05,120
Speaker 2: just a inches away, inches away, inches away from getting

50
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:08,480
Speaker 2: a sack force fumble on Jacoby Brissett. And finally, you know,

51
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:11,520
Speaker 2: the end of the game, he gets home, gets a sack,

52
00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 2: forced fumble, recovers the fumble and you could see him

53
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:18,880
Speaker 2: looking up Mitchell. You could see Nicholas John Bolsas saying,

54
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:22,959
Speaker 2: thank God, finally all this hard work is paying off

55
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:25,680
Speaker 2: because he was working and it wasn't from lack of effort.

56
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:32,920
Speaker 2: He was working. Fred Rico all Pro. Fred Warner another interception,

57
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:37,280
Speaker 2: a game breaking play scored. The offense got two trips

58
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 2: into the red zone, stalled out both times settled for

59
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:42,720
Speaker 2: field goals. But what if Frederco do He says, you

60
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:46,440
Speaker 2: guys any points, throw it to me, Jacoby real quick,

61
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:50,240
Speaker 2: throw it to me, got it, gets up, runs it in,

62
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:54,160
Speaker 2: dives in picks six. Has to be the front runner

63
00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:58,280
Speaker 2: for defensive Player of the Year. There are people saying

64
00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:00,240
Speaker 2: it should be TJ. Watt, and I was one of

65
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:02,760
Speaker 2: those people. TJ. Watt has kind of slowed down as

66
00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:04,800
Speaker 2: the season is progressed. He only has three sacks on

67
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:07,480
Speaker 2: the season. He probably has four or five that have

68
00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:11,839
Speaker 2: been negated by penalties, you know, whether it's pass interference

69
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:15,960
Speaker 2: or holding or something else on somebody else on his team.

70
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:19,640
Speaker 2: But still having a phenomenal season. But Fred right now,

71
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:23,440
Speaker 2: it's hard to beat. He has one sack, three forced fumbles,

72
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:26,919
Speaker 2: two interceptions, and a pick six, along with a number

73
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:30,640
Speaker 2: of tackles and just being an overall menace every single

74
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:34,279
Speaker 2: week that a team has to game plan for. I

75
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:37,560
Speaker 2: think he gets the nod. Another really good game for

76
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:41,360
Speaker 2: Juwan Jennings, who was surprisingly the highest targeted guy on

77
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:45,279
Speaker 2: the football field after his huge performance last week versus

78
00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:49,160
Speaker 2: the Rams and that loss. Had six targets today, three

79
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:53,360
Speaker 2: catches for eighty eight yards. Deebo Samuel, That big post

80
00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:56,000
Speaker 2: got him on the board. Three catches fifty eight yards.

81
00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:01,840
Speaker 2: Jordan Mason Man another really productive day. He can't say

82
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:03,680
Speaker 2: enough about him. He deserves to be a starting and

83
00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:06,279
Speaker 2: running back in the league somewhere. It's just not gonna

84
00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:09,000
Speaker 2: be here. When Christian McCaffrey comes back, they're kind of

85
00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:12,240
Speaker 2: receiving good news. Gonna test it out next week and

86
00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:14,320
Speaker 2: see what he can do. What I got to say

87
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:19,799
Speaker 2: about that, Mitchell, that's all everybody. Patience is a virtue.

88
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:24,560
Speaker 2: All Niner fans nine or faithful patience is a virtue.

89
00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:28,960
Speaker 2: Don't sit here and get all tight trying to figure

90
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:32,120
Speaker 2: out when Christian's coming back. Be patient. He I guarantee

91
00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:34,719
Speaker 2: you he's not trying to milk this. He's not trying

92
00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:36,280
Speaker 2: to oh man, I'm just here from the money. He's

93
00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:38,160
Speaker 2: the whole one of the hardest working players in the

94
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:40,880
Speaker 2: National Football League. If he can play, he will be

95
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:43,080
Speaker 2: out on that football field. If he's not on that

96
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:46,480
Speaker 2: football field, it's because he can't play right now. And

97
00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:49,599
Speaker 2: the Achilles' injury is one of those that is so

98
00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:54,480
Speaker 2: touch and go every week. Coming from experience, I'm speaking

99
00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:58,520
Speaker 2: from experience both rupturing my achilles and having the Achilles

100
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:03,080
Speaker 2: tendonitis on the other ankle, with with with haggling, deformity

101
00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:05,040
Speaker 2: and all this other stuff, and having to go to

102
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:10,680
Speaker 2: specialists and get PRPs injected, cortison shots injected into my

103
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:13,559
Speaker 2: heel because you can't put it in attended. You can't.

104
00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:16,160
Speaker 2: It'll rupture your tendon. That's one thing you should know.

105
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:18,680
Speaker 2: Everybody's like, man, why can't you just put a shot.

106
00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:21,119
Speaker 2: You cannot put a cortizone shot into the Achilles tendon.

107
00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:24,040
Speaker 2: It'll rupture. It'll weaken it and rupture. So there's not

108
00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:26,520
Speaker 2: a lot of blood circulation there. So that's why you

109
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:31,279
Speaker 2: get PRP injections to help the healing process start and

110
00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:33,880
Speaker 2: get some white blood cells in there, et cetera, et cetera.

111
00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:37,280
Speaker 2: Sometimes you go stem cell route. I'm not sure. I

112
00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:39,680
Speaker 2: wasn't with Christian when he went to get these procedures.

113
00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:43,960
Speaker 2: Those are just things I did. Got dry needling, you

114
00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:47,200
Speaker 2: try everything. When I've ruptured my achilles, I was to

115
00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:49,120
Speaker 2: the point, Mitchell, so it was in so much pain,

116
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:51,680
Speaker 2: and they kept saying, oh, it won't rupture, it won't rupture.

117
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:55,240
Speaker 2: I was putting light of Kane patches and taping them around,

118
00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:58,560
Speaker 2: taping around them so they would stay in the spot.

119
00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:00,560
Speaker 2: And that's how it was playing through the season that

120
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:02,600
Speaker 2: year before it ruptured, because it was like, man, it's

121
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:04,800
Speaker 2: so much pain, but I'm just trying to get through

122
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:06,120
Speaker 2: these games and help our team win.

123
00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:09,600
Speaker 1: And so well, Richard, I want to stop right there,

124
00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:11,480
Speaker 1: because this is a story I think that needs to

125
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:11,960
Speaker 1: be told.

126
00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:14,800
Speaker 2: I mean, you and I go way back. I mean

127
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:21,320
Speaker 2: we go way way way back, and to.

128
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:23,840
Speaker 1: Deal with and to experience it on my side of

129
00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:26,320
Speaker 1: the fence and know the pain you were going through

130
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:30,040
Speaker 1: and knowing that essentially what you were told, I mean,

131
00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:33,440
Speaker 1: correct me if I'm wrong, was hey, you can sit out,

132
00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:35,400
Speaker 1: but you're gonna have to sit out the bulk of

133
00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:37,680
Speaker 1: the season, or you can play this thing out and

134
00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:42,080
Speaker 1: eventually it's gonna rupture. And Richard, when you went down

135
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:48,080
Speaker 1: in Arizona in that Thursday night football game, I knew,

136
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:50,880
Speaker 1: I mean you were a warrior and walked off the field,

137
00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:53,440
Speaker 1: but I knew darn well what happened, and I know

138
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:55,440
Speaker 1: you knew. I mean, it just goes to show you

139
00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:58,480
Speaker 1: the guttiness that you played with as a professional. And

140
00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:03,960
Speaker 1: Richard you can speak from experience to these calf strains

141
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:07,120
Speaker 1: and and achilles tendon. Night is any issue, this is

142
00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:11,119
Speaker 1: a severe issue. So to rush Christian McCaffrey back right now,

143
00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:14,800
Speaker 1: I just, I mean, you're the better man to speak

144
00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:17,080
Speaker 1: about its sense right now.

145
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:19,480
Speaker 2: It's not worth it. And and they're playing it as

146
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:23,640
Speaker 2: as correctly as they can from the forty nine ers perspective,

147
00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:26,320
Speaker 2: They're they're taking their time, allowing him to go get

148
00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:29,560
Speaker 2: the treatments that he can get. Because even if no

149
00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:33,120
Speaker 2: matter how tough you want to be, you got to

150
00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:36,120
Speaker 2: be tougher than your brain, and and you got to

151
00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:38,560
Speaker 2: send signals to your brain that you're okay when your

152
00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:41,679
Speaker 2: brain's telling you, hey, there's a there's there's a flat tire.

153
00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:44,240
Speaker 2: There's a flat tire. Hey, no matter what I do,

154
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:46,440
Speaker 2: my brain's telling me there's a flat tire. So even

155
00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:48,760
Speaker 2: if I want to keep driving my car, hey your

156
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:54,080
Speaker 2: tired flat, you're just gonna keep hearing that. And Christian

157
00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:58,679
Speaker 2: McCaffrey is a high functioning athlete. You can't play at

158
00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:00,719
Speaker 2: the speed, you can't play to the standard you want

159
00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:05,120
Speaker 2: to play until that flat tires fixed. And so he'll

160
00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:07,719
Speaker 2: do everything he can get back right. Hopefully he's back

161
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:10,320
Speaker 2: by November. I think that's the timeline they're putting on him.

162
00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:13,640
Speaker 2: Every single one is different. So if you're hearing from

163
00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:16,480
Speaker 2: an expert, oh he's he can be back here are

164
00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:18,679
Speaker 2: he won't be back till here? They don't know. They

165
00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:23,440
Speaker 2: really don't know, because nobody knows but Christian McCaffrey and

166
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:26,240
Speaker 2: his body. Because he may wake up tomorrow and feel

167
00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:29,760
Speaker 2: really really good and be able to do some sprints,

168
00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:32,000
Speaker 2: and then he may wake up the next day he'll

169
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:34,360
Speaker 2: really really good and be able to sprint again. And

170
00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:36,160
Speaker 2: then the third day he may wake up and can

171
00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:40,440
Speaker 2: barely walk. And that's just how crazy this, this injury

172
00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:43,320
Speaker 2: and the flare ups are and so you have to

173
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:45,520
Speaker 2: you have to manage it. However you can manage it.

174
00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:48,959
Speaker 2: And so you're gonna hear, you know, good things some days,

175
00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:51,040
Speaker 2: and then you're gonna hear things. Maybe there's a setback.

176
00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:53,720
Speaker 2: Don't be discouraged. When he can play, he will play.

177
00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:57,800
Speaker 2: But this forty nine ers defense this week is our

178
00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:03,440
Speaker 2: Uber Eats almost almost perfect defense. This segment is brought

179
00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:07,079
Speaker 2: to you by Uber Eats, where we highlight the NFL

180
00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:10,760
Speaker 2: defense that put on the week's most dominating performance with

181
00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:18,000
Speaker 2: the six sacks of Jacoby Brissett, the interception Fredericos picked six,

182
00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:21,880
Speaker 2: the chaos brought on by that d line and Nicholas

183
00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:26,080
Speaker 2: john Bosa's force fumble and fumble recovery, and holding Jacoby

184
00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:28,480
Speaker 2: Brissett relatively in check. I mean he got beat up.

185
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:30,600
Speaker 2: He was limping off the field by the end of

186
00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:32,480
Speaker 2: this game. Mitchell. He's gonna sit in a hot tub

187
00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:34,800
Speaker 2: and cold tub for a couple of days. This is

188
00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:37,880
Speaker 2: not a game he will soon forget. And that's why

189
00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:41,439
Speaker 2: the San Francisco forty nine Ers are this week's Uber

190
00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:47,559
Speaker 2: Eats almost almost perfect defense. Remember you can order almost

191
00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:50,760
Speaker 2: almost anything you want with Uber Eats, the official on

192
00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:55,840
Speaker 2: demand partner, on demand delivery partner of the NFL. Order

193
00:10:55,880 --> 00:11:00,880
Speaker 2: now next week, Mitchell, they got the Arizona Cardinal who

194
00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:06,960
Speaker 2: just got beat down by the Washington Commanders. I think

195
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:09,520
Speaker 2: that that could be another game they could feel good about.

196
00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:12,200
Speaker 2: But I just Kyler Murray and this chaos. I just

197
00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:16,280
Speaker 2: always hold my breath. It's a division fo my friend.

198
00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:21,640
Speaker 2: Thursday Night Football is on and it's only on Prime video.

208
00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:57,360
Speaker 1: Before we leave this game, let's talk a little bit

209
00:11:57,360 --> 00:12:00,760
Speaker 1: about the offense. They got George kittleback, huge catch in

210
00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:02,840
Speaker 1: the corner of the end zone. He just out jumped

211
00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:06,120
Speaker 1: three three defenders for that ball. He wanted it more.

212
00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:08,200
Speaker 1: It's got to feel good for brock Purdy to have

213
00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:08,680
Speaker 1: him back.

214
00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:09,440
Speaker 2: Richard.

215
00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:13,680
Speaker 1: This game, I saw what brock Purdy. You know, statistically,

216
00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:16,360
Speaker 1: not not the best game fifteen for twenty seven to

217
00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:21,400
Speaker 1: eighty eight, a touchdown, an interception, But goodness, he extends plays.

218
00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:25,559
Speaker 1: I mean he's so slippery in that pocket and evades

219
00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:28,920
Speaker 1: you know, defenders. I mean there was a Jabrill Peppers

220
00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:32,040
Speaker 1: had a surefire sack on him all day. He slipped

221
00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:35,680
Speaker 1: out of that. Richard brock Purty impressed me today. Despite

222
00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:37,760
Speaker 1: his numbers not being the best. But it's got to

223
00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:42,480
Speaker 1: feel good for him having George kittleback, having Deebo Samuel back,

224
00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:45,400
Speaker 1: and like you said, third and Juwan Juwan Jennings really

225
00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:49,120
Speaker 1: took advantage of this offseason and these injuries early in

226
00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:52,000
Speaker 1: the season, and he looks like another go to guy.

227
00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:54,920
Speaker 1: When they get Ricky Purcell back and Juwan Jennings going,

228
00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:57,760
Speaker 1: I mean, and they get healthy, the forty nine ers

229
00:12:57,800 --> 00:12:59,600
Speaker 1: are going to be the forty nine ers again. The

230
00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:02,080
Speaker 1: faith you guys can rest the shirt coming from a

231
00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:06,559
Speaker 1: Detroit Lion fan, this team is here still. But Richard,

232
00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:08,480
Speaker 1: I gotta crest you on one thing before we leave

233
00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:11,360
Speaker 1: this game. You said the defensive player of the year

234
00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:15,960
Speaker 1: can front runner right now is Frederico Frederica. Did you

235
00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:19,920
Speaker 1: forget about my boy Aiden Hutchinson leading the league in sacks? Richard,

236
00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:24,120
Speaker 1: He's gonna show tomorrow night against your Seattle Seahawks who

237
00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:27,480
Speaker 1: the real defensive player of the year is. We'll see,

238
00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:29,240
Speaker 1: but that's what I'm calling it right now.

239
00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:31,160
Speaker 2: I don't know how it'll look because we got a

240
00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:32,840
Speaker 2: couple of games to play, but it looks like brock

241
00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:36,080
Speaker 2: Party may be leading the league in yardage right now

242
00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:38,920
Speaker 2: and just some of the passes, because they're like, then,

243
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:41,199
Speaker 2: you know, every time there's something new that they say

244
00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:44,160
Speaker 2: about him. Every week, it's something new, you know, it's like, well,

245
00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:48,080
Speaker 2: he played great, but they lost, or he just threw

246
00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:50,440
Speaker 2: it to Dee Bo and are you and then they

247
00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:52,560
Speaker 2: had so much yack. But then he's he's second in

248
00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:56,320
Speaker 2: the league in yards and has the least amount of

249
00:13:56,360 --> 00:13:58,640
Speaker 2: yack in the league, And they're like, well, it's because

250
00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:01,320
Speaker 2: Kyle Shanahan. It's like, well, I'm gonna let you know something.

251
00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:04,280
Speaker 2: When you gotta work this hard one way or the other.

252
00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:06,440
Speaker 2: If you gotta work this hard to prove a point

253
00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:09,160
Speaker 2: about a player, like with brock Perty, I could just say, hey,

254
00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:12,160
Speaker 2: he's number one in just about every measurable stat. I

255
00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:13,680
Speaker 2: don't really have to work that hard. I could just

256
00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:16,880
Speaker 2: go to stats, close my eyes picked one. He's probably

257
00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:19,600
Speaker 2: near the top. When when you talk about that and

258
00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:21,840
Speaker 2: there's other quarterbacks, you got to sit there and say,

259
00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:24,920
Speaker 2: he's a generational talent. And it's because of the offense,

260
00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:27,080
Speaker 2: it's because the coach, it's because he doesn't have this,

261
00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:30,720
Speaker 2: it's because somebody was injured, it's because over here, well,

262
00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:32,600
Speaker 2: he was born over here. He was born on the

263
00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:34,760
Speaker 2: twenty third of January. You're not the twenty fourth. If

264
00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:36,160
Speaker 2: he was born on the twenty fourth, he would have

265
00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:41,160
Speaker 2: I get it, I get it. Brock Perty's elite, and

266
00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:44,000
Speaker 2: he continues to play that way, and he continues to

267
00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:46,960
Speaker 2: do it with other guys. So when Ricky Purcell comes back,

268
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:49,520
Speaker 2: it's just so many, so many mouths to feed on

269
00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:52,400
Speaker 2: this offense, So you forget about guys like George Kittle.

270
00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:55,720
Speaker 2: He makes an incredible play over three guys like for that.

271
00:14:55,880 --> 00:15:00,200
Speaker 2: He's an All Pro player that that's not really that

272
00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:03,000
Speaker 2: surprising win is him because you know what quality of

273
00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:05,680
Speaker 2: player he is, But he gets kind of lost in

274
00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:09,200
Speaker 2: this offense. So sometimes because you got Christian doing the

275
00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:12,800
Speaker 2: work he has, and because Debo is making these plays,

276
00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:15,480
Speaker 2: O Ba's making these plays. Our Juwan has the game

277
00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:18,120
Speaker 2: he had last week. Are you waiting for Ricky Pursl,

278
00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:21,800
Speaker 2: the first round pick to suit up. There's so much

279
00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:27,560
Speaker 2: talent and weapons on this offense. This offensive line has

280
00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:31,320
Speaker 2: been much maligned. Outside of Trent Williams, Poony Poony has

281
00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:34,360
Speaker 2: done phenomenal, has been phenomenal at the right guard position

282
00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:40,120
Speaker 2: coming into the season, Colton mckivitz less less than desirable

283
00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:42,760
Speaker 2: at times, played a solid game this week and deserves

284
00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:45,120
Speaker 2: some credit for that. And when they don't play solid

285
00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:48,600
Speaker 2: and when they don't hold up well, brock Purty does

286
00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:51,400
Speaker 2: a great job avoiding those sacks. Hey, when they get

287
00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:55,320
Speaker 2: beat early, brock Purty, Hey, dance around, boom boom, maneuvers,

288
00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:56,880
Speaker 2: gets in the pocket. He does not get a little

289
00:15:57,000 --> 00:15:59,000
Speaker 2: enough credit for that. I'm sure he gets credit from

290
00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:02,120
Speaker 2: them and gets in that offensive line room and from

291
00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:05,800
Speaker 2: Forrester to offensive line coach where he's like, hey, brock,

292
00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:07,960
Speaker 2: appreciate you. You're taking a lot of a lot of

293
00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:10,960
Speaker 2: these plays, all negative plays off my offensive line. Trent

294
00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:16,560
Speaker 2: Williams deserves credit for playing through injury. I know sometimes

295
00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:21,920
Speaker 2: fans get emotionally hijacked when players are demanding more money

296
00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:24,360
Speaker 2: or sitting out or things like that. Try not to

297
00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:27,160
Speaker 2: try your best not to. It's not just like when

298
00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:32,080
Speaker 2: the team makes decisions. It's business. It's business. You gotta

299
00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:33,880
Speaker 2: you gotta get the most while you can get it.

300
00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:36,760
Speaker 2: He's at the top this position, at a really late

301
00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:38,640
Speaker 2: stage in his career, trying to get as much as

302
00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:41,560
Speaker 2: he can. Is He's I guarantee you this. There were

303
00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:45,760
Speaker 2: times Trent Williams could have set out and not played.

304
00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:47,440
Speaker 2: And this was in the COVID year when we were

305
00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:50,720
Speaker 2: in Arizona, and I'll never forget this. Trim was Trent

306
00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:54,080
Speaker 2: was beat up, he was hurt and and he could

307
00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:56,360
Speaker 2: barely walk. He could barely you know, he's in the

308
00:16:56,360 --> 00:16:57,920
Speaker 2: training room every day and he probably could have set

309
00:16:57,920 --> 00:17:01,120
Speaker 2: the season out and been fine. Like we weren't really

310
00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:04,320
Speaker 2: playing for anything, you know, there's no real reason for

311
00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:06,720
Speaker 2: you to go out there. But he's the kind of

312
00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:08,680
Speaker 2: pro that says, hey, I don't care about the money,

313
00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:11,119
Speaker 2: I don't care about that. I'm out there for my teammates.

314
00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:13,720
Speaker 2: If I can go, if I'm healthy enough to step

315
00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:17,320
Speaker 2: on the field, I'm gonna go. So if he's healthy

316
00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:19,320
Speaker 2: enough to go, I promise you he deserves the money

317
00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:22,760
Speaker 2: he's getting. Please take take your negative energy towards him

318
00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:25,040
Speaker 2: away and throw it away somewhere because one of the

319
00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:27,720
Speaker 2: best players in football, and he was opening up colossal

320
00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:32,359
Speaker 2: gaps this week for Jordan Mason to run through, and

321
00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:35,400
Speaker 2: he's going to continue to protect brock Perty's blind side.

322
00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:38,800
Speaker 2: You gotta work through the kinks in the season. He's

323
00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:42,520
Speaker 2: for him to come off the streets and start an

324
00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:46,280
Speaker 2: NFL game at left tackle and play a relatively solid game.

325
00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:48,880
Speaker 2: You know. Obviously the standard for him is so high

326
00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:53,239
Speaker 2: that it's impossible to live up to sometimes, but he

327
00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:56,720
Speaker 2: is a generational out of this world and same player.

328
00:17:56,760 --> 00:17:59,240
Speaker 2: There's not very many players that can come off their

329
00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:01,679
Speaker 2: couch and no matter how hard you're working out and

330
00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:05,320
Speaker 2: playing an NFL game that week, that counts and say, hey,

331
00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:08,480
Speaker 2: he looks pretty good. Like You'll take that every time

332
00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:11,119
Speaker 2: and they'll continue to get better. And I think I

333
00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:15,639
Speaker 2: heard they're working Spencer Buford at right tackle, you know,

334
00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:18,960
Speaker 2: so they can just have more depth and just trust

335
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:21,080
Speaker 2: the process. You gotta trust the process with these guys.

336
00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:23,520
Speaker 2: Trust your quarterback. Buck Perty's making good decisions, getting the

337
00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:25,679
Speaker 2: balled out, knowing where the pressure is coming from. I

338
00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:27,359
Speaker 2: think this team's gonna be fine, and you got to

339
00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:31,040
Speaker 2: celebrate the victories while they're there, Richard.

340
00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:34,080
Speaker 1: We got to take it to Houston. The Texans played

341
00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:36,919
Speaker 1: one of your favorite teams in the NFL, one of

342
00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:41,959
Speaker 1: your favorite quarterbacks in the NFL, and Trevor Lawrence, and

343
00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:45,840
Speaker 1: he proved again that he is worthy of this colossal

344
00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:51,480
Speaker 1: contract he's signed this offseason, Richard. The Jacksonville Jaguars are

345
00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:54,240
Speaker 1: off to a remarkable start this year. At Z and four,

346
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:59,399
Speaker 1: Richard Houston wins late. The Texans are three to one. Now,

347
00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:03,800
Speaker 1: you talk to me about the Texans because they needed

348
00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:06,600
Speaker 1: this one bad and it came down to the wire,

349
00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:08,280
Speaker 1: a division fall in the Jags.

350
00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:14,600
Speaker 2: Talk to me, my friend. Well, the Jacksonville Jaguars battle.

351
00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:18,560
Speaker 2: It was one of their better games this season, both

352
00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:22,800
Speaker 2: offensively and defensively. Defensively, they were finding a way to

353
00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:25,840
Speaker 2: get stops. They led for a good portion of this game. Um,

354
00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:29,119
Speaker 2: gotta check my notes, Metell, because you know, some of

355
00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:31,440
Speaker 2: these fans are so hard on us because they don't

356
00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:35,000
Speaker 2: understand how tough it is to watch freaking six games

357
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:36,720
Speaker 2: at the same time and try to take notes and

358
00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:38,159
Speaker 2: try to watch this one, and try to watch this

359
00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:40,359
Speaker 2: one and think you may not miss something. You're like,

360
00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:42,359
Speaker 2: you're not watching this game because you didn't see everything

361
00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:46,520
Speaker 2: that happened to my team. Easy. Easy, you're on Third Street,

362
00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:50,200
Speaker 2: we're watching. It's just tough to keep up with every

363
00:19:50,280 --> 00:20:00,320
Speaker 2: dang play. We're talking about the Jacksonville game. Yes, Trevor

364
00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:03,600
Speaker 2: Lawrence played really good. Tank Bigsby played a really good

365
00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:07,320
Speaker 2: game running the football had more yards than Travis Etn

366
00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:11,240
Speaker 2: and and they're rushing attack. That's always the best friend

367
00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:13,080
Speaker 2: of a quarterback, a good running attack. And Trevor Or

368
00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:18,080
Speaker 2: Edie Travis Etn played really solid game, but Brian Thomas

369
00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:21,719
Speaker 2: getting involved getting that red zone touchdown off the muff hunt.

370
00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:28,920
Speaker 2: But Trevor Lawrence again played a game manager style gay

371
00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:35,439
Speaker 2: And again gets credit for being a generational talent, but

372
00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:38,960
Speaker 2: only really needs to manage the game. And I think

373
00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:41,760
Speaker 2: once we get to the point in the NFL where

374
00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:45,840
Speaker 2: the where the owners and gms understand you only need

375
00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:50,199
Speaker 2: a game manager, and most of these quarterbacks are only that.

376
00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:53,040
Speaker 2: I talked to a GM that said, hey, we're taking

377
00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:55,480
Speaker 2: guys in the top five right now that wouldn't have

378
00:20:55,480 --> 00:20:58,800
Speaker 2: been gotten a second round grade just because the quality

379
00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:02,000
Speaker 2: of player has dropped so so tremendously. And I think

380
00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:06,879
Speaker 2: that's something we got to recognize that we want everybody,

381
00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:10,159
Speaker 2: every draft class to have a generational guy, a Peyton

382
00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:16,800
Speaker 2: Mann and a Tom Brady Patrick Mahomes. That's not necessarily true,

383
00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:20,920
Speaker 2: like accept the guys for what they do when they're playing. Stop.

384
00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:24,160
Speaker 2: We got to stop labeling the pre snap and allow

385
00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:26,440
Speaker 2: them to play and then label because once they play,

386
00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:28,920
Speaker 2: you see what they're gonna be. Now, some guys you're like, hey,

387
00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:31,199
Speaker 2: I could see the potential there. Maybe if we get

388
00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:34,000
Speaker 2: him in a different system, maybe they need time to develop.

389
00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:34,760
Speaker 1: I E.

390
00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:38,840
Speaker 2: Geno Smith, I E. Sam Darnold right now in Minnesota,

391
00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:42,520
Speaker 2: Maybe maybe he needs to be put in a better situation.

392
00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:46,240
Speaker 2: II justin fields right now, finally taking the steps that

393
00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:49,240
Speaker 2: are necessary. They lost today in Indianapolis, but I think

394
00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:51,400
Speaker 2: that was more of a show of that defense kind

395
00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:53,440
Speaker 2: of taking a step back and having a rough game

396
00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:57,560
Speaker 2: than the offense. That defense has been all world the

397
00:21:57,560 --> 00:21:59,919
Speaker 2: first three wins, and the offense hasn't been given him.

398
00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:03,359
Speaker 2: And then CJ decides in the second half of this

399
00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:06,360
Speaker 2: game to play a phenomenal game. But back to where

400
00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:11,040
Speaker 2: we started. Trevor Lawrence has lost nine straight and not

401
00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:14,679
Speaker 2: that all wins and losses. They give quarterbacks credit for him,

402
00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:17,520
Speaker 2: So it's not a quarterback stat, but it's quarterback stat

403
00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:19,879
Speaker 2: because if he wins the games, they say Trevor Lawrence

404
00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:23,160
Speaker 2: has won none straight, you lose the games, they're gonna

405
00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:27,120
Speaker 2: say you lost nine straight. And he's not playing bad football.

406
00:22:27,119 --> 00:22:28,760
Speaker 2: He didn't play a bad game. He didn't turn the

407
00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:31,800
Speaker 2: ball over. He gave his team a chance. He had

408
00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:33,960
Speaker 2: two touchdown passes, even though one of them was just

409
00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:40,080
Speaker 2: a little short pass to Brian Brian Thomas. I see,

410
00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:41,680
Speaker 2: I knew when they called it. They called him Brian

411
00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:44,399
Speaker 2: Robinson multiple times in the broadcast. Now you got it

412
00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:46,840
Speaker 2: in they got it in my head, that is Brian Robbins.

413
00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:51,320
Speaker 2: But they didn't do enough. And this is the division game.

414
00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:55,600
Speaker 2: You're on four to start the season. You start to consider, like,

415
00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:59,119
Speaker 2: what's going so wrong? Because there are very few on

416
00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:04,080
Speaker 2: four teams that make the playoffs. Your defense isn't necessarily

417
00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:07,240
Speaker 2: playing well enough, even though at times they stood up.

418
00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:09,640
Speaker 2: They gave up a late drive, obviously the game winning

419
00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:13,399
Speaker 2: drive to Houston at the end, the touchdown to a

420
00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:17,840
Speaker 2: Goomba Wale. I knew I would butcher for that too,

421
00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:21,080
Speaker 2: But C J. Stroud threw for three hundred and forty

422
00:23:21,119 --> 00:23:24,240
Speaker 2: five yards two touchdowns. Nico Collins continues to lead the

423
00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:26,960
Speaker 2: league in receiving yards, a career high one hundred and

424
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:29,520
Speaker 2: fifty one I mean one hundred twelve receptions for one

425
00:23:29,560 --> 00:23:32,800
Speaker 2: hundred and fifty one yards and a touchdown. Stefan Diggs

426
00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:34,840
Speaker 2: had a really cool play where they rent or reverse

427
00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:37,840
Speaker 2: looks like it was supposed to be a pass, but

428
00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:40,119
Speaker 2: he didn't see the look that he wanted to see.

429
00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:43,000
Speaker 2: Cut it up the middle, easy touchdown, or he saw

430
00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:44,240
Speaker 2: the look that he wanted to see, and the look

431
00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:46,600
Speaker 2: that he wanted to see was me, Hey, this one,

432
00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:49,720
Speaker 2: this one's mine. Y'all not throwing me enough, so y'all

433
00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:51,240
Speaker 2: put it in my hands. I'm gonna get it in

434
00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:54,840
Speaker 2: an end zone. And this team is gonna be a

435
00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:56,840
Speaker 2: tough team to beat. You know, they stumbled a little

436
00:23:56,880 --> 00:23:59,120
Speaker 2: bit last week, but this is a team we expected

437
00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:03,080
Speaker 2: to see. They fought adversity. But Jacksonville is gonna have

438
00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:04,640
Speaker 2: to look at the man in the mirror figure out

439
00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:08,000
Speaker 2: what the problem is because it's so disappointing to have

440
00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:12,639
Speaker 2: a solid game like this and then come up short.

441
00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:15,880
Speaker 2: They just didn't make enough plays. And again, when you're

442
00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:19,400
Speaker 2: making fifty five million dollars, the microscope is on you,

443
00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:22,600
Speaker 2: and it's it's fair or unfair for you to elevate

444
00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:26,040
Speaker 2: your team to victory. And they're expecting that from not

445
00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:28,320
Speaker 2: only you, but the other quarterbacks. They expect that from

446
00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:30,879
Speaker 2: Joe Burrow, they expect that from Josh Allen. They expect

447
00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:34,320
Speaker 2: it from Patrick Mahomes, They expected from Dak Prescott. So

448
00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:38,280
Speaker 2: this isn't just a Trevor Lawrence thing. The criticism is

449
00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:40,920
Speaker 2: the same. You start to make that top five, top

450
00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:44,600
Speaker 2: three quarterback money, you have to give that top five,

451
00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:47,400
Speaker 2: top three quarterback play or else we need to stop

452
00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:50,440
Speaker 2: paying these quarterbacks like this that we know aren't elevating

453
00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:54,080
Speaker 2: their teams just because we're afraid of what the alternative is.

454
00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:56,879
Speaker 2: Because if the alternative is you take a couple of

455
00:24:56,920 --> 00:25:02,000
Speaker 2: years with Jacobe Prissett, Our Gardner Minshew or Derek Carr

456
00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:05,000
Speaker 2: or whoever the case may be, where you feel like

457
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:08,920
Speaker 2: they're not necessarily a generation but a bridge quarterback, then

458
00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:11,960
Speaker 2: you do it because sometimes those quarterbacks give you a

459
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:15,040
Speaker 2: better chance. That's why you got guys like they're thinking

460
00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:17,680
Speaker 2: about benching Daniel Jones or did they do it officially

461
00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:22,440
Speaker 2: because you say, hey, there's other quarterbacks that can get

462
00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:25,439
Speaker 2: us solid play, they can hit the plays. Because there

463
00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:26,840
Speaker 2: are a couple of plays in that game where the

464
00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:30,800
Speaker 2: Giants missed wide open guys, game changing plays. There are

465
00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:32,359
Speaker 2: two or three passes where it was like, hey, this

466
00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:34,000
Speaker 2: is a free play, just put the ball on him

467
00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:36,119
Speaker 2: and let's let's get down the field and we got

468
00:25:36,119 --> 00:25:39,080
Speaker 2: a huge play. Malik Neighbors makes it pretty easy for

469
00:25:39,119 --> 00:25:42,399
Speaker 2: you to just put it on him. He's open and

470
00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:45,119
Speaker 2: you're missing him. You just need competent NFL play, and

471
00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:47,120
Speaker 2: we're not getting that. He's not playing at a high

472
00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:49,760
Speaker 2: enough level that his team needs. And that's the problem

473
00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:50,800
Speaker 2: right now in Jacksonville.

474
00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:55,320
Speaker 1: Richard, do you want to talk about a guy that

475
00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:58,480
Speaker 1: got paid in the offseason and elevated his game unlike

476
00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:03,720
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence, Nico Collins. As you mentioned this guy. Talk

477
00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:08,240
Speaker 1: about a rare combination the Ohio State Buckeye CJ Stroud

478
00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:12,240
Speaker 1: throwing to the U of M Wolverine Nico Collins forming

479
00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:16,240
Speaker 1: arguably one of the best quarterback wide receiver duos in

480
00:26:16,280 --> 00:26:19,640
Speaker 1: the league right now. Richard, shout out to Nico Collins.

481
00:26:20,040 --> 00:26:22,880
Speaker 1: You gotta love to see it with a guy like this. Frankly,

482
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:24,680
Speaker 1: at U of M. They ran the ball, I mean

483
00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:26,800
Speaker 1: everyone knows they run the ball, and then see him

484
00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:30,440
Speaker 1: excel so much in the NFL. The Texans got to

485
00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:34,160
Speaker 1: steal in Nico Collins, Richard. Let's take it to La.

486
00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:39,359
Speaker 1: The Chargers gave the Kansas City Chiefs a problem early

487
00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:41,239
Speaker 1: and frankly, it looked like they were gonna win this

488
00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:44,320
Speaker 1: game and they just couldn't get things going in the

489
00:26:44,359 --> 00:26:48,040
Speaker 1: second half, and Mahomes just did his Mahomes thing. But

490
00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:50,679
Speaker 1: before we get into the game, there was a huge

491
00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:55,440
Speaker 1: injury that occurred early in this game. Mahomes hitting after

492
00:26:55,480 --> 00:26:57,840
Speaker 1: throwing the pick, hitting the friendly fire on his own

493
00:26:57,920 --> 00:27:01,560
Speaker 1: best wide receiver one Rashi I card it off the

494
00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:04,679
Speaker 1: field and Andy Reid says, it does not look good,

495
00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:08,600
Speaker 1: Richard if he's out for a large amount of time.

496
00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:10,960
Speaker 1: I mean, we've seen my Homes do it in the past.

497
00:27:11,320 --> 00:27:14,920
Speaker 1: He's elevated, he elevates the guys around him. But how

498
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:17,680
Speaker 1: much can they withstand without Rashi Rice.

499
00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:22,560
Speaker 2: They can withstand it, I have no doubt about it.

500
00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:24,879
Speaker 2: It's just so unfortunate. You hate to see that play,

501
00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:30,639
Speaker 2: especially unnecessarily, and I think, and obviously it's nobody's fault.

502
00:27:33,119 --> 00:27:37,000
Speaker 2: Patrick throws the interception a bit overthrown for Travis Kelce.

503
00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:40,639
Speaker 2: They find a way to strip it and get the

504
00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:43,080
Speaker 2: ball on the ground. Everybody's just hustling. Football is a

505
00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:46,560
Speaker 2: hard sport. Things just accidents happen. You just hate to

506
00:27:46,560 --> 00:27:48,920
Speaker 2: see it, Like you know in a play like that,

507
00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:51,480
Speaker 2: you know, I'm sure Patrick gets sick about it because

508
00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:55,840
Speaker 2: he obviously never meant to do that. We wish nothing

509
00:27:55,880 --> 00:27:58,600
Speaker 2: about the best for Rashi Rice and his Hell, hopefully

510
00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:00,600
Speaker 2: you know, he's able to bounce back and he's not

511
00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:04,680
Speaker 2: out too long. Obviously, Andy Reid said, it's not looking great.

512
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:08,680
Speaker 2: But even then, sometimes you don't know, you know, there's

513
00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:11,200
Speaker 2: a lot of tests they have to do. Sometimes miraculous

514
00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:16,400
Speaker 2: things happen, they miss things, uh, And guys aren't hurt

515
00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:19,640
Speaker 2: as bad as initially you initially think. Sometimes and sometimes

516
00:28:19,640 --> 00:28:21,560
Speaker 2: it's a little bit worse. So we'll we'll see when

517
00:28:21,560 --> 00:28:24,800
Speaker 2: they when they decided. But this is the kind of

518
00:28:24,840 --> 00:28:28,600
Speaker 2: game that the Chiefs are are mastering right now. We

519
00:28:28,680 --> 00:28:32,000
Speaker 2: just talked to to Trim mcduffy about the culture of

520
00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:34,320
Speaker 2: this team and when when when the game is close

521
00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:37,919
Speaker 2: and the chips are down and everything's going going wrong

522
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:40,800
Speaker 2: and guys are are are getting tight on the other

523
00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:42,480
Speaker 2: side and you're like, man, are we gonna lose or

524
00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:48,400
Speaker 2: guys making mistakes, You're like, they're pretty calm, they're having fun.

525
00:28:48,760 --> 00:28:51,680
Speaker 2: Chris Jones is cracking jokes, and of course Chris Jones

526
00:28:52,080 --> 00:28:55,560
Speaker 2: is making making huge plays down the stretch to win

527
00:28:55,560 --> 00:29:00,280
Speaker 2: his team the ball game, as he always has. I

528
00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:04,200
Speaker 2: I never want to hear any Chris Jones slander from anybody, really,

529
00:29:04,320 --> 00:29:07,920
Speaker 2: because for this team he's been elite, and I don't

530
00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:10,520
Speaker 2: think it no matter how much he's getting paid, it's

531
00:29:10,640 --> 00:29:14,480
Speaker 2: underpaid for what he's doing for this team, not only

532
00:29:14,520 --> 00:29:18,040
Speaker 2: in the regular season, but in the playoffs and in

533
00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:21,760
Speaker 2: the Super Bowl. When a guy's helping you get rings.

534
00:29:23,120 --> 00:29:25,440
Speaker 2: And I guarantee you teams that are paying their guys

535
00:29:25,680 --> 00:29:29,840
Speaker 2: thirty five forty million dollars or nobody's paying forty million dollars,

536
00:29:29,840 --> 00:29:32,560
Speaker 2: but thirty five thirty three million, and they aren't getting

537
00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:34,840
Speaker 2: rings or sitting there like man I take. I pay

538
00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:39,280
Speaker 2: him whatever he wants to get us a ring. But

539
00:29:39,320 --> 00:29:41,760
Speaker 2: they're gonna be able to work weather it because Andy

540
00:29:41,800 --> 00:29:45,480
Speaker 2: Reid is a great coordinator, a great play caller. Patriorck

541
00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:49,800
Speaker 2: Mahomes after Tyreek Hill left has shown that it does

542
00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:53,040
Speaker 2: not matter. He is the engine. And you may have

543
00:29:53,120 --> 00:29:56,840
Speaker 2: different wheels, you may have different you may have a

544
00:29:56,840 --> 00:30:01,200
Speaker 2: different radiator, a different air conditioning unit, different steering wheel,

545
00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:06,960
Speaker 2: different seats, leather upholstery, But as long as the engine's

546
00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:09,800
Speaker 2: the same mental the car will win the race. You know,

547
00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:12,240
Speaker 2: this is this will this, this team will get over

548
00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:16,960
Speaker 2: the finish line. They're finding ways to win ugly, grimy, grimy,

549
00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:19,520
Speaker 2: grind it out games, and that's a good sign for

550
00:30:19,560 --> 00:30:22,160
Speaker 2: a championship team. I know some people are like, oh man,

551
00:30:22,160 --> 00:30:24,720
Speaker 2: they're almost they could be easily ohing four or one

552
00:30:24,720 --> 00:30:29,120
Speaker 2: in three if I was a fifth Mitchell, you know,

553
00:30:29,720 --> 00:30:32,160
Speaker 2: and you can't think about that. We all be drunk.

554
00:30:32,400 --> 00:30:36,840
Speaker 2: And Travis Kelcey had had a nice game, seven for

555
00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:40,880
Speaker 2: eighty nine yards, starting to warm up. Kareem Hunt back

556
00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:45,000
Speaker 2: in the fold. Fourteen carries for sixty nine yards. These

557
00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:48,480
Speaker 2: are all good signs, and it always comes back to like, hey,

558
00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:52,240
Speaker 2: they can just plug and play guys, they get guys. Hey,

559
00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:54,400
Speaker 2: we'll bring him back. We'll bring him back. Hey, what

560
00:30:54,440 --> 00:30:56,920
Speaker 2: about what about Micole Hartman? Just let's bring him back

561
00:30:56,920 --> 00:30:59,320
Speaker 2: in the playoffs and he's gonna make an impact for Hey,

562
00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:02,000
Speaker 2: didn't we have guy that played? Where's Juju? Did Juju

563
00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:04,320
Speaker 2: playing somewhere? Hey? Didn't he play good for us? Let's

564
00:31:04,360 --> 00:31:07,000
Speaker 2: bring him back. Hey, Kareem Hunt, Hey, we're beat up

565
00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:09,080
Speaker 2: at running back. Hey, Kareem you are you still you're

566
00:31:09,080 --> 00:31:11,240
Speaker 2: still in shape. You know, we love you over here,

567
00:31:11,480 --> 00:31:14,760
Speaker 2: come over here and again. As long as the engines there,

568
00:31:16,160 --> 00:31:20,880
Speaker 2: it seems like they're infallible Mitchell, and he's gonna continue

569
00:31:20,920 --> 00:31:22,920
Speaker 2: to do it. And Justin Herbert played a solid game.

570
00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:25,840
Speaker 2: You got to give him credit for being the the

571
00:31:26,040 --> 00:31:28,120
Speaker 2: iron man that he was trying to be, playing through

572
00:31:28,160 --> 00:31:32,520
Speaker 2: U sprained ankle, toughing it out, but his mobility wasn't there.

573
00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:34,600
Speaker 2: It led to a couple of sacks. You could tell

574
00:31:34,640 --> 00:31:37,920
Speaker 2: he wasn't moving like he wanted to. JK. Dobbins wasn't

575
00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:40,000
Speaker 2: able to have the kind of rushing game he was

576
00:31:40,040 --> 00:31:45,800
Speaker 2: having previously defensively, but dupre had two two sacks and

577
00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:49,480
Speaker 2: two TFLs and a quarterback hit. But that it just

578
00:31:49,600 --> 00:31:52,840
Speaker 2: wasn't enough. And you knew that Hardball and Greg Roman

579
00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:56,360
Speaker 2: would force Kansas City to have these kind of games

580
00:31:56,480 --> 00:31:58,160
Speaker 2: where it's just gonna be a grime and we're gonna

581
00:31:58,200 --> 00:32:00,960
Speaker 2: run the ball the clock. We're gonna run the clock.

582
00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:03,360
Speaker 2: It's gonna be a low scoring, grind it out, last

583
00:32:03,440 --> 00:32:08,160
Speaker 2: drive game. That's that's uh, everything that Jim Harball has

584
00:32:08,160 --> 00:32:10,640
Speaker 2: been for a long time, especially his first season with

585
00:32:10,680 --> 00:32:13,000
Speaker 2: a team. They're gonna have a chance at the end

586
00:32:13,560 --> 00:32:16,320
Speaker 2: for the most part, and unfortunately you're playing against Patrick Mahoons.

587
00:32:16,320 --> 00:32:18,920
Speaker 2: He's gonna find a way to get it done. Does

588
00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:24,200
Speaker 2: Patrick Mahons have an interception issue right now? No? I

589
00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:28,040
Speaker 2: mean is he throwing them? Yes, he is throwing them,

590
00:32:28,040 --> 00:32:31,040
Speaker 2: But when you really think about it, it becomes an

591
00:32:31,080 --> 00:32:34,800
Speaker 2: issue when it's losing. If you're losing, he could throw

592
00:32:34,880 --> 00:32:37,520
Speaker 2: for a bunch of touchdowns and they're winning. I mean

593
00:32:37,600 --> 00:32:40,280
Speaker 2: they're losing games, and you'd be like, oh man, he's

594
00:32:40,320 --> 00:32:43,560
Speaker 2: not doing enough. So I don't think it's an issue

595
00:32:43,600 --> 00:32:48,000
Speaker 2: because he's a he's a risk taking quarterback. He makes

596
00:32:48,040 --> 00:32:51,840
Speaker 2: throws and makes decisions other quarterbacks couldn't even fathom to make,

597
00:32:52,280 --> 00:32:54,440
Speaker 2: and so you're gonna have mistakes here and there. That

598
00:32:54,520 --> 00:32:57,400
Speaker 2: was an overthrow that he threw. Luckily, one of his

599
00:32:57,440 --> 00:32:59,600
Speaker 2: offensive linemen strips the ball from the defender and they

600
00:32:59,600 --> 00:33:02,200
Speaker 2: get it right back, so it didn't even end up

601
00:33:02,240 --> 00:33:05,720
Speaker 2: affecting the game that in a negative way. He has

602
00:33:05,840 --> 00:33:10,040
Speaker 2: continued to do that, but they've won, so maybe for

603
00:33:10,160 --> 00:33:13,600
Speaker 2: other players, like he's in a different category of criticism

604
00:33:13,600 --> 00:33:15,440
Speaker 2: as well. Mitchell, you got to put Mahomes in a

605
00:33:15,440 --> 00:33:20,400
Speaker 2: different category for praise and criticism and everything. And he's

606
00:33:20,440 --> 00:33:23,440
Speaker 2: earned that. He's earned that by winning and winning in

607
00:33:23,480 --> 00:33:26,160
Speaker 2: the playoffs, winning it when it matters against every single

608
00:33:26,200 --> 00:33:29,880
Speaker 2: quarterback we name the elite we outside of Burrow. I

609
00:33:29,880 --> 00:33:32,200
Speaker 2: think he's been beat by Burrow, but Burrow hasn't been

610
00:33:32,240 --> 00:33:34,040
Speaker 2: in the playoffs, so we don't get to have that

611
00:33:34,080 --> 00:33:38,200
Speaker 2: conversation as of late. But he's beat Lamar, he's beat

612
00:33:38,280 --> 00:33:40,960
Speaker 2: Josh Allen, he beat Brock Purdy in the super Bowl.

613
00:33:42,960 --> 00:33:44,840
Speaker 2: What do we say, beat to a tongue of biloa

614
00:33:45,360 --> 00:33:51,000
Speaker 2: in in uh in Kansas City. So when it comes

615
00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:53,480
Speaker 2: to criticism of Patrick Mahomes, you get to he gets,

616
00:33:53,800 --> 00:33:56,880
Speaker 2: he gets more grace. He's earned grace, not not because

617
00:33:57,200 --> 00:33:59,400
Speaker 2: oh man, he's hyped up and he's like this, because

618
00:33:59,400 --> 00:34:02,720
Speaker 2: he's earned the winning earns you grace, and you don't win,

619
00:34:02,800 --> 00:34:06,520
Speaker 2: you don't earn grace. So no, that the turnovers aren't

620
00:34:06,520 --> 00:34:08,880
Speaker 2: a problem right now. He deserves grace. He earned the

621
00:34:08,920 --> 00:34:12,600
Speaker 2: grace as long as his team's winning. If they're losing,

622
00:34:12,960 --> 00:34:17,680
Speaker 2: even then, what you're gonna say, what what're gonna say

623
00:34:17,680 --> 00:34:18,000
Speaker 2: about it?

624
00:34:18,880 --> 00:34:21,160
Speaker 1: You're not gonna say much. I mean, like you said,

625
00:34:21,280 --> 00:34:24,680
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes his engine. He might have got his Pirelli

626
00:34:24,760 --> 00:34:27,920
Speaker 1: tires back under him. This week with Travis Kelcey Richard,

627
00:34:27,960 --> 00:34:30,480
Speaker 1: I mean everyone was concerned. We asked a question to

628
00:34:30,520 --> 00:34:33,840
Speaker 1: you last week. Is this the end of Travis Kelcey?

629
00:34:33,880 --> 00:34:36,560
Speaker 1: I mean, he did nothing the first three weeks, and

630
00:34:36,640 --> 00:34:38,960
Speaker 1: sure enough, it's not the end. Seven catches for eighty

631
00:34:39,040 --> 00:34:42,480
Speaker 1: nine yards. Is it safe to say Travis Kelcey is back?

632
00:34:43,480 --> 00:34:45,839
Speaker 2: Yeah, I guess she's It's safe to say he's back.

633
00:34:45,880 --> 00:34:49,359
Speaker 2: He never left. They're they're undefeated, and I don't think

634
00:34:49,360 --> 00:34:52,080
Speaker 2: he cares if he if he has ten yards or

635
00:34:52,120 --> 00:34:54,600
Speaker 2: one hundred and fifty yards, as long as they're winning.

636
00:34:54,640 --> 00:34:56,399
Speaker 2: In this game, they needed him to step up more,

637
00:34:56,440 --> 00:35:01,560
Speaker 2: obviously with Rushi Rice out. But if Travis Kelsey's the Pirellis,

638
00:35:01,600 --> 00:35:05,439
Speaker 2: then Xavier Worthy has to be the nitrous because he's

639
00:35:05,480 --> 00:35:08,920
Speaker 2: injecting that kind of nitrous into this offense. They hadn't

640
00:35:08,920 --> 00:35:12,640
Speaker 2: scored a touchdown in the first half, and I want

641
00:35:12,640 --> 00:35:15,320
Speaker 2: to say it might have been two plays before the touchdown.

642
00:35:15,360 --> 00:35:18,960
Speaker 2: The broadcast had just said, oh man, Patrick Mahomes has

643
00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:22,640
Speaker 2: only been held scoreless once in his Hall of Fame career.

644
00:35:22,719 --> 00:35:26,640
Speaker 2: And then you look up and bomb Xavier Worthy touchdown.

645
00:35:27,200 --> 00:35:29,399
Speaker 2: They're like, yeah, that's why he You know, you better

646
00:35:29,400 --> 00:35:32,560
Speaker 2: be careful because he has another weapon where things can

647
00:35:32,600 --> 00:35:34,759
Speaker 2: turn around quick. These last few years, they've had to

648
00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:37,480
Speaker 2: walk the ball down the field, they've had to be conservative,

649
00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:43,040
Speaker 2: intermediate passing defense is running too high, keeping the ball

650
00:35:43,080 --> 00:35:45,600
Speaker 2: in front of him. But now he has Xavier Worthy.

651
00:35:45,640 --> 00:35:47,600
Speaker 2: So when you sit there and you say, hey, we're

652
00:35:47,640 --> 00:35:49,640
Speaker 2: gonna we're gonna sit on these routes, we're gonna guard

653
00:35:49,680 --> 00:35:52,560
Speaker 2: Patrick Mahons, you bet not, she bet it. You better

654
00:35:52,600 --> 00:35:56,000
Speaker 2: watch the one is because this can end quickly and

655
00:35:56,200 --> 00:35:59,200
Speaker 2: very bad. And that ended up being a deciding factor

656
00:35:59,200 --> 00:36:02,640
Speaker 2: in the game. Obviously, when they only score seventeen points

657
00:36:02,800 --> 00:36:05,920
Speaker 2: and seven of them come on an explosive bomb, it's

658
00:36:06,080 --> 00:36:10,520
Speaker 2: Xavier Worthy. So Chiefs fans have very little to worry about.

659
00:36:10,520 --> 00:36:12,920
Speaker 2: They have a game in New Orleans on Monday Night Football.

660
00:36:13,280 --> 00:36:16,400
Speaker 2: That'll be an interesting game. New Orleans coming off a

661
00:36:16,440 --> 00:36:22,800
Speaker 2: tough loss to the Atlanta Falcons. We'll see how they respond. Richeld.

662
00:36:22,840 --> 00:36:23,759
Speaker 2: Let's take it to New York.

663
00:36:24,360 --> 00:36:28,120
Speaker 1: The j e ts juts juts Jets had an easy

664
00:36:28,160 --> 00:36:30,960
Speaker 1: one at home against the Denver Broncos. Are so we

665
00:36:31,160 --> 00:36:34,919
Speaker 1: thought the Broncos come out victorious this one ten to nine,

666
00:36:34,960 --> 00:36:38,200
Speaker 1: in a kind of a nasty game, heavy rain throughout.

667
00:36:39,080 --> 00:36:44,320
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers beat up fourteen times, he was hit five sacks,

668
00:36:44,400 --> 00:36:47,520
Speaker 1: and he's limping a round all game. Richard, Are you

669
00:36:47,680 --> 00:36:52,000
Speaker 1: concerned at all about Aaron Rodgers right now, because this

670
00:36:52,080 --> 00:36:55,239
Speaker 1: is not a loss. I know he's not happy taking

671
00:36:55,280 --> 00:36:57,000
Speaker 1: any losses, but when you take a loss to the

672
00:36:57,000 --> 00:37:02,040
Speaker 1: Denver Broncos, I can't imagine he's thrilled at all.

673
00:37:02,560 --> 00:37:05,520
Speaker 2: I mean, it was a it was a heavy rain game. Mental,

674
00:37:05,560 --> 00:37:08,280
Speaker 2: it was a very heavy rain game. The weather was awful,

675
00:37:08,400 --> 00:37:14,200
Speaker 2: was pouring, which was in favor of the Denver Broncos.

676
00:37:14,200 --> 00:37:16,680
Speaker 2: You got a young quarterback, you got a really good

677
00:37:16,719 --> 00:37:20,040
Speaker 2: running back in Javonte Williams that they feel real good about.

678
00:37:20,120 --> 00:37:24,680
Speaker 2: He's finally starting to get to his pre knee injury form.

679
00:37:25,680 --> 00:37:27,680
Speaker 2: And and you're not You're not taking a lot of

680
00:37:27,680 --> 00:37:30,040
Speaker 2: shots with bow knicks in the first place. A guy

681
00:37:30,080 --> 00:37:32,480
Speaker 2: like Aaron Rodgers who likes to adjust and and throw

682
00:37:32,560 --> 00:37:35,839
Speaker 2: quick passes and audible and and move the ball that way,

683
00:37:36,239 --> 00:37:38,240
Speaker 2: it has much more of an impact on his game.

684
00:37:39,040 --> 00:37:43,040
Speaker 2: Both defenses played extraordinary obviously assisted by the weather in

685
00:37:43,080 --> 00:37:47,720
Speaker 2: some regards. But man, you got to give the Denver

686
00:37:47,840 --> 00:37:50,719
Speaker 2: defense a lot of credit for what they were able

687
00:37:50,760 --> 00:37:53,120
Speaker 2: to do because they were putting pressure. They hit Aaron

688
00:37:53,200 --> 00:37:56,800
Speaker 2: Rodgers fourteen times, and if you know Aaron Rodgers and

689
00:37:56,840 --> 00:37:59,480
Speaker 2: you've played against him, he does not get hit that often.

690
00:37:59,520 --> 00:38:02,160
Speaker 2: Even when protection is bad, he's usually getting the ball out.

691
00:38:02,360 --> 00:38:05,520
Speaker 2: He understands where the pressure's coming from. He adjusts his protection.

692
00:38:06,239 --> 00:38:08,839
Speaker 2: And I think there were obviously some mistakes made by

693
00:38:08,840 --> 00:38:12,080
Speaker 2: the offensive line, maybe by the backs a few times

694
00:38:12,400 --> 00:38:16,640
Speaker 2: where guys came free where he thought he had somebody

695
00:38:16,680 --> 00:38:19,120
Speaker 2: accounted for, he had at least a chip or to

696
00:38:19,160 --> 00:38:23,680
Speaker 2: slow him down. He got blindsided a few times. He

697
00:38:23,840 --> 00:38:26,760
Speaker 2: was limping at times, even on the scrambles. We watched

698
00:38:26,800 --> 00:38:29,879
Speaker 2: him a few weeks ago where he looked really good

699
00:38:29,880 --> 00:38:33,080
Speaker 2: scrambling around, moving around where you're like, hey, that's kind

700
00:38:33,120 --> 00:38:36,319
Speaker 2: of that. Aaron Rodgers of old. Obviously he's forty years old,

701
00:38:36,640 --> 00:38:39,840
Speaker 2: so you expect there to be some decline. But today

702
00:38:39,960 --> 00:38:42,400
Speaker 2: it looked like there were issues in his lower body,

703
00:38:42,440 --> 00:38:46,040
Speaker 2: perhaps that on top of the hits he was taking.

704
00:38:46,080 --> 00:38:49,000
Speaker 2: I mean, you just don't want to see it. And

705
00:38:49,040 --> 00:38:52,080
Speaker 2: that offensive line has to do a better job. Obviously,

706
00:38:52,480 --> 00:38:54,840
Speaker 2: Denver had a plan to attack them in every way

707
00:38:55,280 --> 00:38:57,040
Speaker 2: and make sure they didn't have time to get the

708
00:38:57,080 --> 00:38:59,200
Speaker 2: ball off, especially in this weather game where the ball

709
00:38:59,280 --> 00:39:04,080
Speaker 2: slipping out of the coquarterback's hands. But there wasn't a

710
00:39:04,080 --> 00:39:07,239
Speaker 2: lot of production from the Denver offense. They did just

711
00:39:07,400 --> 00:39:12,040
Speaker 2: enough to win the game. They leaned on their defense,

712
00:39:12,160 --> 00:39:14,560
Speaker 2: and their defense gave them everything they needed. This is

713
00:39:14,600 --> 00:39:19,400
Speaker 2: the first time Aaron Rodgers led team had zero touchdowns

714
00:39:19,400 --> 00:39:21,680
Speaker 2: at home, and it's some weather, but he's played in

715
00:39:21,719 --> 00:39:25,359
Speaker 2: bad weather before and it just it just didn't work

716
00:39:25,400 --> 00:39:28,399
Speaker 2: for him this time. Some of it is bad luck,

717
00:39:28,440 --> 00:39:33,799
Speaker 2: but to get sacked five times, it's tough. Obviously, Nathaniel

718
00:39:33,840 --> 00:39:36,680
Speaker 2: Hackett versus Sean Payton was the storyline in this game,

719
00:39:36,760 --> 00:39:39,719
Speaker 2: and Sean Payton gets his revenge of sorts. But a

720
00:39:39,760 --> 00:39:44,200
Speaker 2: ten to nine game, I mean, just just not a

721
00:39:44,239 --> 00:39:47,040
Speaker 2: great game offensively either side. I'm sure Aaron, you know,

722
00:39:47,080 --> 00:39:50,799
Speaker 2: everybody saw the last picture of him, just like, oh,

723
00:39:51,320 --> 00:39:54,400
Speaker 2: like woe was me? You know, after Greg zuor Line

724
00:39:54,719 --> 00:39:58,400
Speaker 2: missed the game potential game winning field goal, and again,

725
00:39:58,600 --> 00:40:02,480
Speaker 2: under these under ideal conditions, you expect Zerline to hit

726
00:40:02,480 --> 00:40:04,960
Speaker 2: that and the Jets to walk off with a win.

727
00:40:05,120 --> 00:40:06,680
Speaker 2: It's not like they didn't have a chance to win.

728
00:40:06,760 --> 00:40:08,480
Speaker 2: Let let's not get out of hand. They had a

729
00:40:08,560 --> 00:40:11,000
Speaker 2: chance a field goal to win the game. He obviously

730
00:40:11,040 --> 00:40:13,319
Speaker 2: misses it in a storyline is what it is. But

731
00:40:13,719 --> 00:40:17,600
Speaker 2: it still was a sloppy game. This is the first

732
00:40:17,680 --> 00:40:20,200
Speaker 2: time in the history of the National Football League and

733
00:40:20,200 --> 00:40:23,600
Speaker 2: at least in the Super Bowl era, quarterback average two

734
00:40:23,600 --> 00:40:25,719
Speaker 2: and a half yards in attempt and won the game.

735
00:40:25,960 --> 00:40:28,200
Speaker 2: So it's just it just goes to show you what

736
00:40:28,239 --> 00:40:29,040
Speaker 2: kind of game it was.

737
00:40:29,480 --> 00:40:32,560
Speaker 1: Let's talk about Bonnix's stats. He went twelve of twenty

738
00:40:32,600 --> 00:40:36,800
Speaker 1: five for sixty yards and a touchdown. Richard Courtland Sutton

739
00:40:36,880 --> 00:40:42,200
Speaker 1: caught all sixty yards of his passing yards three receptions

740
00:40:42,239 --> 00:40:45,239
Speaker 1: for sixty yards and a touchdown for Courtland Sutton. The

741
00:40:45,280 --> 00:40:48,880
Speaker 1: rest of the nine receptions amounted a grand total of

742
00:40:49,000 --> 00:40:49,880
Speaker 1: zero yards.

743
00:40:50,400 --> 00:40:50,720
Speaker 2: Richard.

744
00:40:50,719 --> 00:40:53,040
Speaker 1: This segment is brought to you by our friends and

Speaker 1: that had Garrett Wilson uh today. You knew going in

753
00:41:19,680 --> 00:41:21,160
Speaker 1: it was going to be a nasty day with the

754
00:41:21,200 --> 00:41:23,759
Speaker 1: weather and all that stuff. But when you're dealing with

755
00:41:23,800 --> 00:41:26,719
Speaker 1: Patrick Tartan on the other side of the ball, good luck.

756
00:41:26,800 --> 00:41:28,719

Speaker 2: Today, Patrick stan you can talk about about his performance

761
00:41:40,840 --> 00:41:42,960

00:41:42,960 --> 00:41:45,799
Speaker 2: Football League, and it's clear and abundant. You know, we

00:41:45,800 --> 00:41:48,759
Speaker 2: can talk about two, three through four, two through five.

764
00:41:48,880 --> 00:41:51,760
Speaker 2: After that, there's a number of guys there. Tariqu Wooland's

765
00:41:51,760 --> 00:41:55,319
Speaker 2: playing really well, whatever you want to say about him.

766
00:41:55,560 --> 00:42:01,600
Speaker 2: Sauce Gardner's there. Stingley out in Houston is an elite guy.

767
00:42:01,840 --> 00:42:03,960
Speaker 2: You know, I'm not trying to leave anybody out, but

768
00:42:04,040 --> 00:42:06,600
Speaker 2: there's a lot of guys that are playing good football.

769
00:42:06,640 --> 00:42:09,080
Speaker 2: But you talk about a technique standpoint, A guy that

770
00:42:09,200 --> 00:42:14,360
Speaker 2: never's panicked, whether it's press or off technique is always sound.

771
00:42:15,600 --> 00:42:18,960
Speaker 2: You literally can pick any clip, any game and it's

772
00:42:19,040 --> 00:42:21,520
Speaker 2: teach tape. You know, there's very few guys you could

773
00:42:21,520 --> 00:42:26,080
Speaker 2: say that about. Patrick Sartana's an elite all pro. You know,

774
00:42:26,120 --> 00:42:27,920
Speaker 2: you always want guys to get the ball more and

775
00:42:28,280 --> 00:42:30,640
Speaker 2: intercept it. And you say, hey, man, the best corner.

776
00:42:30,640 --> 00:42:32,480
Speaker 2: And now I'm a guy who says that best corners

777
00:42:32,480 --> 00:42:37,000
Speaker 2: intercepted football, whether he's intercepted in it or not. If

778
00:42:37,040 --> 00:42:40,399
Speaker 2: you in your fantasy league have a receiver that's going

779
00:42:40,440 --> 00:42:45,000
Speaker 2: against Patrick Certain, sit him. I don't care who he is.

780
00:42:45,239 --> 00:42:49,640
Speaker 2: Sit him because hit him in combination with Vance Joseph

781
00:42:49,680 --> 00:42:52,920
Speaker 2: and the pressure that this defense is bringing is causing

782
00:42:53,000 --> 00:42:56,080
Speaker 2: a lot of people problems. And it's not because they're

783
00:42:56,080 --> 00:42:59,040
Speaker 2: not good players, not great players. It's because he's a

784
00:42:59,200 --> 00:43:04,239
Speaker 2: freaking cognition. He is what you draw up create a

785
00:43:04,239 --> 00:43:07,759
Speaker 2: player on your my player, your your career mode in

786
00:43:07,920 --> 00:43:12,520
Speaker 2: NCAA twenty five, and you're talking about corner design Patrick Certain,

787
00:43:12,920 --> 00:43:15,200
Speaker 2: and you got a guy. He's one of the best

788
00:43:15,239 --> 00:43:18,200
Speaker 2: international Football league and he deserves to be our Ovation,

Speaker 1: a hot team. They're three and one. That be my

800
00:44:00,239 --> 00:44:03,160
Speaker 1: Detroit Lions in ford Field. I'm still a little beat

801
00:44:03,239 --> 00:44:07,000
Speaker 1: up about it, but whatever. We'll take care of Seattle

802
00:44:07,000 --> 00:44:10,160
Speaker 1: tomorrow and my I'll be on the up and up.

803
00:44:10,520 --> 00:44:13,120
Speaker 1: But Tampa Bay got it done against Philly, and Philly's

804
00:44:13,160 --> 00:44:15,200
Speaker 1: beat up right now. They're dealing with that. You know,

805
00:44:16,120 --> 00:44:19,680
Speaker 1: no Lane Johnson, no AJ Brown, Devonte Smith got oh

806
00:44:19,800 --> 00:44:21,880
Speaker 1: my goodness, got absolutely smoked last week.

807
00:44:22,200 --> 00:44:23,320
Speaker 2: Hopefully he's okay.

808
00:44:23,880 --> 00:44:26,080
Speaker 1: This team was beat up coming to this game and

809
00:44:26,120 --> 00:44:29,239
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay took care of him. Your thoughts on Tampa Bay.

810
00:44:29,239 --> 00:44:31,279
Speaker 1: But before we get to the game, I want to

811
00:44:31,320 --> 00:44:34,759
Speaker 1: talk about some comments that Baker made prior to this game.

812
00:44:34,800 --> 00:44:37,959
Speaker 1: I mean, you played with Tom Brady for a little

813
00:44:38,000 --> 00:44:41,120
Speaker 1: bit your last season in the league. Baker said that

814
00:44:41,239 --> 00:44:44,279
Speaker 1: everyone was stressed out with Tom and it was his

815
00:44:44,440 --> 00:44:48,440
Speaker 1: job to bring back the joy of football. Tom Brady's response,

816
00:44:49,160 --> 00:44:52,839
Speaker 1: stressful was not having Super Bowl rings. Richard, Your thought

817
00:44:53,000 --> 00:44:54,480
Speaker 1: on this exchange here.

818
00:44:54,960 --> 00:44:57,600
Speaker 2: Well, both of them smoke facts. You know, it's perspective.

819
00:44:57,640 --> 00:45:00,919
Speaker 2: Everything's perspective. Baker's playing some really good football right now,

820
00:45:01,239 --> 00:45:03,760
Speaker 2: and he's a different kind of leader than Tom Brady.

821
00:45:04,040 --> 00:45:06,759
Speaker 2: Tom Brady is a really fun guy. Let's not He's

822
00:45:06,800 --> 00:45:11,640
Speaker 2: not some dictator in the locker room. But he is

823
00:45:11,680 --> 00:45:13,600
Speaker 2: a guy that holds everybody to a high standard and

824
00:45:13,680 --> 00:45:16,160
Speaker 2: holds his receivers to a high standard, his offensive line,

825
00:45:16,200 --> 00:45:20,360
Speaker 2: his coaches, his offensive coordinator, his training staff, everybody in

826
00:45:20,360 --> 00:45:25,919
Speaker 2: the building. And sure, that's gonna be stressful, but he's

827
00:45:25,920 --> 00:45:28,319
Speaker 2: giving you that kind of performance. He's giving you that

828
00:45:28,480 --> 00:45:32,000
Speaker 2: kind of effort where you got to deal with a

829
00:45:32,000 --> 00:45:34,520
Speaker 2: little bit of stressful. He brought a ring to Tampa

830
00:45:34,560 --> 00:45:38,440
Speaker 2: Bay when at a time they didn't have a lot

831
00:45:38,480 --> 00:45:40,799
Speaker 2: of hope. I don't think they their fan based. I

832
00:45:40,800 --> 00:45:44,279
Speaker 2: don't think their players necessarily thought that they had the

833
00:45:44,320 --> 00:45:46,840
Speaker 2: team to win a Super Bowl when he was able

834
00:45:46,880 --> 00:45:51,240
Speaker 2: to run through the playoffs as a wild card team,

835
00:45:51,760 --> 00:45:55,880
Speaker 2: go to different stadiums and win. They beat Aaron Rodgers

836
00:45:55,880 --> 00:45:59,200
Speaker 2: in the NFC Championship game and then played a really

837
00:45:59,360 --> 00:46:03,279
Speaker 2: tough Super Bowl game where they against Patrick Mahomes and so,

838
00:46:04,800 --> 00:46:06,920
Speaker 2: and that defense played really good. But a bunch of

839
00:46:06,920 --> 00:46:08,880
Speaker 2: young players, a bunch of guys who hadn't had a

840
00:46:08,920 --> 00:46:11,400
Speaker 2: lot of playoff success, played at a high level. And

841
00:46:11,440 --> 00:46:13,320
Speaker 2: that's not because of Tom Brady. They stepped up and

842
00:46:13,840 --> 00:46:20,120
Speaker 2: elevated the moment. Antoine Winfield Junior. Everybody remembers the Tyreek keel,

843
00:46:20,280 --> 00:46:24,759
Speaker 2: the two fingers, two fingers, two fingers. But he's not wrong.

844
00:46:25,160 --> 00:46:27,680
Speaker 2: Like Baker, if you walked into the building and everybody

845
00:46:27,719 --> 00:46:31,960
Speaker 2: was stressed, but they got rings on their fingers, maybe

846
00:46:32,280 --> 00:46:35,360
Speaker 2: maybe it wasn't. Maybe the stress is what they need.

847
00:46:35,400 --> 00:46:37,520
Speaker 2: Maybe that's the kicking the butt they need, because that

848
00:46:37,600 --> 00:46:40,279
Speaker 2: pushed them to where they needed to go. Because the

849
00:46:40,360 --> 00:46:43,840
Speaker 2: difference between a Super Bowl championship team and just a

850
00:46:43,840 --> 00:46:48,400
Speaker 2: good team is inches Mitchell, it's it's details, it's attention

851
00:46:48,520 --> 00:46:53,960
Speaker 2: to detail, and Tom was incredible at those things. He

852
00:46:54,520 --> 00:46:57,080
Speaker 2: made sure. I mean, when you talk about getting done

853
00:46:57,080 --> 00:46:59,719
Speaker 2: with a football game, you fly back the next night.

854
00:46:59,800 --> 00:47:02,160
Speaker 2: Are the same night. You get on the bus right

855
00:47:02,200 --> 00:47:04,560
Speaker 2: after the game, you drive to the airport, you get

856
00:47:04,600 --> 00:47:09,560
Speaker 2: on the plane that night. Tom Brady has his computer

857
00:47:10,160 --> 00:47:13,280
Speaker 2: with all the games for the team we're going to play,

858
00:47:13,600 --> 00:47:17,080
Speaker 2: loaded everything. He wants, all his notes, and he's sitting

859
00:47:17,120 --> 00:47:20,120
Speaker 2: there game planning for the next week. He's not waiting

860
00:47:20,320 --> 00:47:23,800
Speaker 2: a moment, Mitchell. He's not. So if he's holding everybody

861
00:47:23,840 --> 00:47:26,200
Speaker 2: else to that standard, he's holding himself to an even

862
00:47:26,280 --> 00:47:30,799
Speaker 2: higher standard. So I'm not mad either way. Both of them.

863
00:47:30,960 --> 00:47:34,520
Speaker 2: Both of them are are right. But Tom has seven

864
00:47:34,600 --> 00:47:36,960
Speaker 2: rings and he's saying I got seven for a reason. Baker,

865
00:47:37,360 --> 00:47:42,040
Speaker 2: you want to get one. Maybe fun is not the

866
00:47:42,120 --> 00:47:43,920
Speaker 2: right word we want to use right now, even though

867
00:47:43,960 --> 00:47:45,480
Speaker 2: you having fun and you're doing a great job with

868
00:47:45,520 --> 00:47:48,000
Speaker 2: this offense. Had a heck of a game. Let's not

869
00:47:48,040 --> 00:47:50,640
Speaker 2: take anything away from Baker Mayfield. He's thirty or forty seven,

870
00:47:50,680 --> 00:47:53,719
Speaker 2: three forty seven, two touchdowns and he ran one end.

871
00:47:54,080 --> 00:47:56,000
Speaker 2: He looks like he's having a good time. He looks

872
00:47:56,040 --> 00:48:00,160
Speaker 2: like he's a great fit in Tampa Bay. But if

873
00:48:00,160 --> 00:48:02,439
Speaker 2: you have nobody has more fun. If you ain't getting

874
00:48:02,440 --> 00:48:04,840
Speaker 2: a ring, yeah, you get put out in the playoffs

875
00:48:04,960 --> 00:48:08,360
Speaker 2: or you go home after the first round. I guarantee

876
00:48:08,360 --> 00:48:09,960
Speaker 2: you look at that locker room and nobody's gonna be

877
00:48:10,000 --> 00:48:14,880
Speaker 2: having fun Richard. Prior to this game, CJ.

878
00:48:15,000 --> 00:48:18,799
Speaker 1: Gardner Johnson put a little bulletin board material out there

879
00:48:18,840 --> 00:48:20,719
Speaker 1: saying I'm putting belt.

880
00:48:20,760 --> 00:48:22,440
Speaker 2: To ask uh.

881
00:48:22,600 --> 00:48:26,560
Speaker 1: Safe to say that did not happen for the Philadelphia Eagles.

882
00:48:27,000 --> 00:48:30,560
Speaker 1: When CJGJ was in Detroit, he was known for this

883
00:48:30,719 --> 00:48:35,480
Speaker 1: kind of smack talking and you know, frankly, it kind

884
00:48:35,480 --> 00:48:40,160
Speaker 1: of wore fans thin without that production to back it.

885
00:48:40,280 --> 00:48:42,560
Speaker 1: And I know he's earned, you know, a name for

886
00:48:42,680 --> 00:48:45,480
Speaker 1: himself in Philly, and obviously he had a great career

887
00:48:45,480 --> 00:48:48,800
Speaker 1: before that with the Saints. But Richard having a teammate

888
00:48:48,960 --> 00:48:53,120
Speaker 1: that vocalizes something like this pre game, like what what

889
00:48:53,239 --> 00:48:55,479
Speaker 1: is your thoughts like? Is that something you're just saying, Hey,

890
00:48:55,640 --> 00:48:58,640
Speaker 1: just s or are you welcome that?

891
00:49:00,040 --> 00:49:04,920
Speaker 2: Ah? It depends. Everybody's different, And I don't think we

892
00:49:05,040 --> 00:49:07,799
Speaker 2: have many many times where we said anything pregame because

893
00:49:07,840 --> 00:49:12,680
Speaker 2: it's just not it's not worth it. But usually, I mean,

894
00:49:13,040 --> 00:49:15,120
Speaker 2: you feel good about it, you feel good as a team,

895
00:49:15,120 --> 00:49:16,919
Speaker 2: You're not scared, you don't play this, you don't play

896
00:49:16,920 --> 00:49:20,640
Speaker 2: this game if you don't have the confidence and to

897
00:49:20,719 --> 00:49:22,960
Speaker 2: bow up and say yeah, yeah, we're about that. We're

898
00:49:22,960 --> 00:49:24,799
Speaker 2: about what he said, We're about you know. It's not

899
00:49:24,840 --> 00:49:27,879
Speaker 2: like he guaranteed to win or he said he said, hey,

900
00:49:27,920 --> 00:49:29,560
Speaker 2: you know, we're about to blow him out. I think

901
00:49:29,600 --> 00:49:31,680
Speaker 2: they knew it was a dogfight. But he showed confidence

902
00:49:31,680 --> 00:49:34,080
Speaker 2: in himself and his teammates. But for some guys, I

903
00:49:34,120 --> 00:49:36,160
Speaker 2: guarantee you, it rubbed them the wrong way. For some,

904
00:49:36,680 --> 00:49:38,640
Speaker 2: you know, guys who don't speak a lot, who let

905
00:49:38,680 --> 00:49:41,120
Speaker 2: their play speak, I'm sure it rubbed them the wrong way.

906
00:49:41,160 --> 00:49:44,120
Speaker 2: And especially when you go into that game and you lose,

907
00:49:44,239 --> 00:49:46,000
Speaker 2: and the way they lost, in the fashion in which

908
00:49:46,040 --> 00:49:50,600
Speaker 2: they lost, then internally there becomes a little bit of discord,

909
00:49:50,600 --> 00:49:53,279
Speaker 2: whether it's offense versus defense, whether it's other guys on

910
00:49:53,320 --> 00:49:55,759
Speaker 2: the defense who are playing at a high level who

911
00:49:56,800 --> 00:50:00,920
Speaker 2: they were just like, Bro, that's enough. You're playmaker in

912
00:50:00,920 --> 00:50:04,799
Speaker 2: this league and CJ. Gardner Johnson has made plays during

913
00:50:04,800 --> 00:50:06,759
Speaker 2: his time in this league and deserves credit. Let's not

914
00:50:06,840 --> 00:50:08,759
Speaker 2: sit here and act like he's some kind of bomb

915
00:50:08,880 --> 00:50:10,600
Speaker 2: or something. He's not. He's a He's a guy who's

916
00:50:10,760 --> 00:50:13,040
Speaker 2: made plays. You know he's missed some tackles this year,

917
00:50:13,080 --> 00:50:16,080
Speaker 2: and you know, people have gone overboard trying to criticize

918
00:50:16,120 --> 00:50:18,440
Speaker 2: him just because he's he's a guy who talks a lot.

919
00:50:18,680 --> 00:50:22,920
Speaker 2: But you got to back things like that up. If

920
00:50:22,960 --> 00:50:25,600
Speaker 2: you say that and lose, then your your word starts

921
00:50:25,640 --> 00:50:28,520
Speaker 2: to count for less. Then it's hey, the next time

922
00:50:28,600 --> 00:50:30,520
Speaker 2: you say something, it's kind of falling on deaf ears.

923
00:50:30,600 --> 00:50:32,719
Speaker 2: Or you might see some other players like hey, bro,

924
00:50:33,080 --> 00:50:36,360
Speaker 2: shut up, man, that's enough, Like, hey, you're doing too

925
00:50:36,440 --> 00:50:41,279
Speaker 2: much are The head coach might say, hey, CJ, it's

926
00:50:41,320 --> 00:50:43,880
Speaker 2: not let's not let's stay out of the media this

927
00:50:43,920 --> 00:50:47,239
Speaker 2: week because we need to get back on track. We

928
00:50:47,440 --> 00:50:50,200
Speaker 2: were coming off a win. Sure you feel good, but

929
00:50:50,520 --> 00:50:52,120
Speaker 2: when we lose a game, and the way we lost

930
00:50:52,160 --> 00:50:54,520
Speaker 2: it wasn't as close as the score looks. You know.

931
00:50:54,640 --> 00:50:58,560
Speaker 2: Obviously Keeley Ringo returned to the two point conversion seventy

932
00:50:58,680 --> 00:51:04,120
Speaker 2: yards good Friend of Mine full play, But this game

933
00:51:04,160 --> 00:51:07,719
Speaker 2: wasn't even this clase. Jalen Hurts had one of his

934
00:51:07,800 --> 00:51:12,800
Speaker 2: worst games of the season, and just I mean, without

935
00:51:12,800 --> 00:51:15,560
Speaker 2: your two top weapons, any any quarterback put out the

936
00:51:15,640 --> 00:51:18,160
Speaker 2: two top receivers that you expected to have when you

937
00:51:18,200 --> 00:51:19,960
Speaker 2: start the season. I don't care which team it is

938
00:51:20,320 --> 00:51:24,759
Speaker 2: you're going to struggle, except maybe Patrick Mahomes because it

939
00:51:24,800 --> 00:51:27,160
Speaker 2: doesn't seem to matter for him or Josh Allen. Right now,

940
00:51:27,239 --> 00:51:30,480
Speaker 2: Josh Allen, as everybody eats putting the ball wherever the

941
00:51:30,520 --> 00:51:33,040
Speaker 2: open guy, wherever the offense, wherever the rhythm takes him,

942
00:51:33,040 --> 00:51:36,440
Speaker 2: that's where he's putting it. But right now Hurts has

943
00:51:36,440 --> 00:51:40,240
Speaker 2: had twenty seven turnovers in twenty two games. That's an issue.

944
00:51:40,280 --> 00:51:42,640
Speaker 2: And I know we just talked about Patrick Mahoons and like, hey,

945
00:51:42,760 --> 00:51:45,120
Speaker 2: it's not an issue, but it's only an issue when

946
00:51:45,160 --> 00:51:48,400
Speaker 2: you start to loose. And again, Patrick Mahoons is in

947
00:51:48,400 --> 00:51:53,720
Speaker 2: a different category of criticism than Jalen Hurts. Jalen Hurts

948
00:51:54,960 --> 00:51:57,560
Speaker 2: has to be able to play better. This offensive line

949
00:51:57,680 --> 00:51:59,480
Speaker 2: is so banged up right now. They used to be

950
00:52:00,000 --> 00:52:02,440
Speaker 2: obviously one of the best offensive lines in football, and

951
00:52:02,480 --> 00:52:05,440
Speaker 2: it was non negotiable. It's non debatable. You could not

952
00:52:05,480 --> 00:52:09,360
Speaker 2: debate that when they had Jason Kelce, they had Lane Johnson.

953
00:52:09,719 --> 00:52:12,880
Speaker 2: They have all these guys that you're like Landon Dickerson,

954
00:52:13,040 --> 00:52:16,600
Speaker 2: you got you got guys where you feel good that, oh,

955
00:52:16,640 --> 00:52:20,920
Speaker 2: they're gonna bulldoze people similar to your Detroit Lions and

956
00:52:20,960 --> 00:52:24,320
Speaker 2: the offensive line they put together with Ragno and Decker

957
00:52:24,400 --> 00:52:28,120
Speaker 2: and pen Seoul, but they they're banged up right now

958
00:52:28,160 --> 00:52:30,399
Speaker 2: and they're getting He's getting more pressure than he has

959
00:52:30,440 --> 00:52:35,600
Speaker 2: in the past. Uh Levante David had a sack, force

960
00:52:35,680 --> 00:52:38,080
Speaker 2: fumbling this game, two sacks, Vita Vea had a sack,

961
00:52:38,360 --> 00:52:41,400
Speaker 2: and they ran into situations where there were goal to go,

962
00:52:42,440 --> 00:52:45,080
Speaker 2: ran the ball and Viata Vea in this defensive line

963
00:52:45,120 --> 00:52:49,960
Speaker 2: just said no, hey, no, we're no again and again

964
00:52:50,000 --> 00:52:52,640
Speaker 2: and again. And even the tush push they got, they

965
00:52:52,680 --> 00:52:55,120
Speaker 2: got a touchdown off of it. But again, it's not

966
00:52:55,200 --> 00:52:57,720
Speaker 2: as consistent as it once was when they had Jason

967
00:52:57,800 --> 00:53:01,000
Speaker 2: Kelsey and he was getting that push and it's almost automatic.

968
00:53:01,040 --> 00:53:04,919
Speaker 2: It's not as automatic as it once was, and you're

969
00:53:04,960 --> 00:53:10,200
Speaker 2: just not seeing the same consistency from this team. Sakuon

970
00:53:10,280 --> 00:53:13,720
Speaker 2: Barkley has been awesome. He's been awesome. He's been everything

971
00:53:13,760 --> 00:53:15,640
Speaker 2: I think they would have expected him to be, and

972
00:53:15,680 --> 00:53:18,239
Speaker 2: I think, you know, for a lot of it. He

973
00:53:18,400 --> 00:53:22,359
Speaker 2: won that game last week against New Orleans. You know,

974
00:53:22,560 --> 00:53:25,360
Speaker 2: obviously there was some yardage thrown by Jalen Hurts, but

975
00:53:25,840 --> 00:53:29,000
Speaker 2: without that big play by Sakwon Barkley I don't think

976
00:53:29,040 --> 00:53:32,719
Speaker 2: they win that game. And you're just not seeing them

977
00:53:32,719 --> 00:53:36,719
Speaker 2: put up the points they have in the pass, and

978
00:53:36,760 --> 00:53:40,080
Speaker 2: you wonder what it is that the new OC defensively

979
00:53:40,080 --> 00:53:42,880
Speaker 2: they're giving up points. Have they just not caught on

980
00:53:42,960 --> 00:53:45,200
Speaker 2: to vic scheme? Because last week they were able to

981
00:53:45,239 --> 00:53:47,359
Speaker 2: hold the Saints down. This week they give up thirty

982
00:53:47,360 --> 00:53:52,000
Speaker 2: three points, and so something has to give. Something has

983
00:53:52,080 --> 00:53:54,920
Speaker 2: to give. It's unacceptable to only score sixteen points and

984
00:53:55,320 --> 00:53:57,040
Speaker 2: to give up thirty three points. This is a really

985
00:53:57,080 --> 00:53:59,440
Speaker 2: talented team and they got to figure out what's wrong.

986
00:54:00,200 --> 00:54:02,400
Speaker 2: Give credit to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Todd Bowles.

987
00:54:02,400 --> 00:54:04,600
Speaker 2: This team has played together for a long time. They

988
00:54:04,640 --> 00:54:08,320
Speaker 2: have the pieces, two elite receivers and Chris Godwin and

989
00:54:09,360 --> 00:54:12,680
Speaker 2: Mike Evans, and they're gonna give teams problems. Mike Evans

990
00:54:12,480 --> 00:54:15,920
Speaker 2: got another touchdown, eight catches for ninety four yards. Chris Evans,

991
00:54:16,040 --> 00:54:18,800
Speaker 2: I mean Chris Godwin called a number of third, crucial

992
00:54:18,840 --> 00:54:22,919
Speaker 2: third downs throughout the game. And then defensively Beata veya,

993
00:54:23,160 --> 00:54:25,719
Speaker 2: Levonte David. Those are still names you need to know.

994
00:54:26,080 --> 00:54:29,200
Speaker 2: Those are still names that will have impacts every single time,

995
00:54:29,560 --> 00:54:32,680
Speaker 2: and they're doing it again. Todd Bowles is gonna give

996
00:54:32,680 --> 00:54:36,480
Speaker 2: you a tough scheme to deal with. Mike Evans became

997
00:54:36,560 --> 00:54:41,200
Speaker 2: the bucks all time leading scores. Their congratulations to him,

998
00:54:41,360 --> 00:54:47,640
Speaker 2: passing Martine Formatica. That's incredible. Congratulations Mike. The Eagles have

999
00:54:47,680 --> 00:54:51,680
Speaker 2: a bye. The Bucks are with us this Thursday at

1000
00:54:51,680 --> 00:54:56,560
Speaker 2: seven pm only on Prime Video. Will be in Atlanta

1001
00:54:56,640 --> 00:55:01,000
Speaker 2: to see if the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Baker Mayfield

1002
00:55:01,280 --> 00:55:04,719
Speaker 2: can continue this hot streak in Atlanta.

1003
00:55:04,840 --> 00:55:07,920
Speaker 1: And Richard shout out to Baker Mayfield. He's this week's

1004
00:55:08,000 --> 00:55:11,000
Speaker 1: player in Prime Time, brought to you by our friends

1005
00:55:11,080 --> 00:55:15,240
Speaker 1: and partners over at Brightling. Baker Mayfield went off thirty

1006
00:55:15,239 --> 00:55:18,600
Speaker 1: for forty seven three hundred and forty seven yards, two touchdowns,

1007
00:55:18,920 --> 00:55:22,000
Speaker 1: and like you said, he got Mike Evans involved early

1008
00:55:22,040 --> 00:55:26,200
Speaker 1: and often. Baker Mayfield, I don't think a whole lot

1009
00:55:26,239 --> 00:55:28,399
Speaker 1: of folks saw this coming. I mean, he had his

1010
00:55:28,480 --> 00:55:33,680
Speaker 1: moments in Cleveland, he was cast away, some argued it,

1011
00:55:33,800 --> 00:55:35,680
Speaker 1: you know, they went in favor of Shan Watson. Then

1012
00:55:35,680 --> 00:55:38,400
Speaker 1: he goes to the Rams and has his moments of

1013
00:55:38,800 --> 00:55:42,759
Speaker 1: flair bringing them back against the Raiders a couple years back.

1014
00:55:42,800 --> 00:55:45,440
Speaker 1: And then he goes to the Bucks and turns his

1015
00:55:45,520 --> 00:55:48,200
Speaker 1: career around, and like you said, it's about the right

1016
00:55:48,280 --> 00:55:51,120
Speaker 1: situation for some of these quarterbacks. It seems that Baker

1017
00:55:51,160 --> 00:55:54,399
Speaker 1: Mayfield has found his right situation and now he's our

1018
00:55:54,760 --> 00:55:57,480
Speaker 1: honoree for Players in Primetime, brought to you by Brightling.

1019
00:55:58,120 --> 00:55:58,520
Speaker 2: Richard.

1020
00:55:58,719 --> 00:56:01,480
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be rocking my bright tomorrow on Monday Night

1021
00:56:01,520 --> 00:56:06,400
Speaker 1: Football showcasing this bad boy as I go to ford Field,

1022
00:56:06,520 --> 00:56:11,040
Speaker 1: you know, to take on the Seattle Seahawks. We gotta

1023
00:56:11,080 --> 00:56:13,400
Speaker 1: thank you viewers, though, I mean the fact that we

1024
00:56:13,520 --> 00:56:17,239
Speaker 1: have these these partners bright like Brightling, like Uber.

1025
00:56:17,000 --> 00:56:18,680
Speaker 2: Eats like ovation.

1026
00:56:18,960 --> 00:56:21,080
Speaker 1: This goes to show, you know, the hard work that

1027
00:56:21,440 --> 00:56:24,239
Speaker 1: Richard's put into this, and we really really appreciate all

1028
00:56:24,280 --> 00:56:27,040
Speaker 1: of you guys tuning in from across the country. Shout

1029
00:56:27,080 --> 00:56:30,720
Speaker 1: out to Baker Mayfield, Brightling's player in prime Time, Richard.

1030
00:56:30,800 --> 00:56:34,719
Speaker 1: Let's take it to Green Bay, Minnesota stays hot. I

1031
00:56:34,760 --> 00:56:38,200
Speaker 1: don't think anyone saw this team being this good coming

1032
00:56:38,239 --> 00:56:41,240
Speaker 1: into the season. They rode them off in the NFC North.

1033
00:56:41,280 --> 00:56:42,920
Speaker 1: I think a lot of folks thought the Bears were

1034
00:56:42,960 --> 00:56:45,239
Speaker 1: going to take over him no problem. But now we

1035
00:56:45,280 --> 00:56:50,440
Speaker 1: have Sam Darnold. I mean again, Sam Donald goes crazy

1036
00:56:50,480 --> 00:56:52,880
Speaker 1: in the first half. He now says the fourth highest

1037
00:56:52,960 --> 00:56:56,480
Speaker 1: odds on DraftKings to win the MVP at plus fifteen hundred.

1038
00:56:56,760 --> 00:57:01,360
Speaker 1: He's tied with Lamar Jackson. This is relatively unheard of.

1039
00:57:01,640 --> 00:57:05,080
Speaker 1: Rich The Minnesota Vikings pull off a stunner on the

1040
00:57:05,120 --> 00:57:07,840
Speaker 1: road against the Packers. Your thoughts on this game.

1041
00:57:08,520 --> 00:57:10,040
Speaker 2: Well, first off, I want to double down on what

1042
00:57:10,120 --> 00:57:12,359
Speaker 2: you said. We appreciate you fans, even the ones who

1043
00:57:12,400 --> 00:57:14,680
Speaker 2: don't agree with everything I'm saying. You know and think

1044
00:57:14,760 --> 00:57:18,720
Speaker 2: I'm crazy and absolutely totally offbeat, and then put in

1045
00:57:18,800 --> 00:57:21,800
Speaker 2: the comments I try to I accept all criticism. Baby,

1046
00:57:21,840 --> 00:57:24,520
Speaker 2: I appreciate you either way. You could be anywhere in

1047
00:57:24,520 --> 00:57:26,920
Speaker 2: the world, but you here with us, and we appreciate

1048
00:57:27,000 --> 00:57:29,520
Speaker 2: you subscribing and watching us. We try to give you

1049
00:57:29,560 --> 00:57:34,280
Speaker 2: the best content, honest opinion, accurate info. Every now and

1050
00:57:34,280 --> 00:57:36,080
Speaker 2: then we may slip up and say the wrong thing.

1051
00:57:36,120 --> 00:57:38,120
Speaker 2: We apologize and we try to correct the one we can.

1052
00:57:38,440 --> 00:57:43,320
Speaker 2: But we appreciate you. Sam Darnell and the Minnesota Vikings

1053
00:57:43,840 --> 00:57:47,480
Speaker 2: are an incredible story. Mitchell. You talk about a surprise,

1054
00:57:47,760 --> 00:57:50,160
Speaker 2: You talk about out of left field, and maybe not

1055
00:57:50,160 --> 00:57:55,360
Speaker 2: for the Minnesota Vikings fans, but for me. The way

1056
00:57:55,400 --> 00:57:59,400
Speaker 2: they're winning, and this became a lot closer and a

1057
00:57:59,400 --> 00:58:01,840
Speaker 2: lot more of a burder then I'm sure they wanted

1058
00:58:01,880 --> 00:58:05,200
Speaker 2: it to be. Late in this game, Jordan Love struggled

1059
00:58:05,240 --> 00:58:08,280
Speaker 2: early on, was able to find a little bit of

1060
00:58:08,320 --> 00:58:11,840
Speaker 2: a rhythm late get some yards. He threw up some

1061
00:58:11,920 --> 00:58:14,520
Speaker 2: fifty to fifty balls that his receivers were able to

1062
00:58:14,520 --> 00:58:20,680
Speaker 2: come up with, some they weren't, and Byron Murphy gave

1063
00:58:20,800 --> 00:58:23,320
Speaker 2: up a touchdown then also got an interception on the

1064
00:58:23,360 --> 00:58:26,760
Speaker 2: fifty to fifty ball, got a force fumble. But you

1065
00:58:26,840 --> 00:58:33,920
Speaker 2: talk about guys like showing up, Como Grudger Heel with

1066
00:58:34,000 --> 00:58:37,880
Speaker 2: the interception. Shaq Griffin, the old Seattle Seahawk had an

1067
00:58:37,920 --> 00:58:41,120
Speaker 2: interception of off a tip pass or through the receiver's hands,

1068
00:58:41,120 --> 00:58:44,040
Speaker 2: whichever way you want to put it. But they're just

1069
00:58:44,040 --> 00:58:47,720
Speaker 2: playing with so much confidence. And Brian Flores has put

1070
00:58:47,760 --> 00:58:52,120
Speaker 2: a lot of pressure on teams with his scheme. You know,

1071
00:58:52,200 --> 00:58:55,320
Speaker 2: every week you hear another quarterback talking about how tough

1072
00:58:55,360 --> 00:58:58,160
Speaker 2: his scheme is to deal with. He's made some adjustments,

1073
00:58:58,400 --> 00:59:00,760
Speaker 2: he's got the right personnel, the right people in the

1074
00:59:00,800 --> 00:59:04,080
Speaker 2: right places. But Sam Darnold and Kevin O'Connell are match

1075
00:59:04,120 --> 00:59:07,080
Speaker 2: made in heaven, And we said this earlier in the year.

1076
00:59:08,560 --> 00:59:11,959
Speaker 2: Sometimes it takes a little second to develop, It takes

1077
00:59:11,960 --> 00:59:13,720
Speaker 2: a second to get in the right scheme in a

1078
00:59:13,840 --> 00:59:18,000
Speaker 2: right place, And Kevin O'Connell did a great job articulating

1079
00:59:18,000 --> 00:59:21,240
Speaker 2: that point that sometimes it's not the players fail in

1080
00:59:21,280 --> 00:59:24,520
Speaker 2: the organization, it's the organizations that are failing. These players

1081
00:59:24,720 --> 00:59:27,760
Speaker 2: they don't have they don't have the right guys in

1082
00:59:27,800 --> 00:59:32,520
Speaker 2: place to develop, because these same players can be productive

1083
00:59:33,160 --> 00:59:36,400
Speaker 2: other places. So that means it's not the player. Maybe

1084
00:59:36,440 --> 00:59:39,520
Speaker 2: you're not doing enough to play into his strengths or

1085
00:59:39,600 --> 00:59:43,280
Speaker 2: understand his strengths in designing a scheme that allows him

1086
00:59:43,320 --> 00:59:45,720
Speaker 2: to flourish in that way. And I don't think we

1087
00:59:45,760 --> 00:59:49,480
Speaker 2: talk about that enough, both offensively and defensively. We talk

1088
00:59:49,520 --> 00:59:53,320
Speaker 2: about these top picks being bused, sometimes at the cornerback

1089
00:59:53,360 --> 00:59:58,120
Speaker 2: position sometimes d lineman on. Offensively, quarterback is obviously a

1090
00:59:58,160 --> 01:00:02,959
Speaker 2: big one. But in the wrong scheme, everybody can look bad.

1091
01:00:03,240 --> 01:00:05,240
Speaker 2: You know, if you're sitting there and you're a you're

1092
01:00:05,280 --> 01:00:07,960
Speaker 2: a man corner and you're in his own scheme and

1093
01:00:08,000 --> 01:00:10,560
Speaker 2: they're like, man, he's getting cooked. Well, maybe his IQ

1094
01:00:10,760 --> 01:00:16,880
Speaker 2: is different, Maybe he wants he's a he's a what

1095
01:00:16,880 --> 01:00:22,840
Speaker 2: what do they call him? Oh, it's it's cat coverage.

1096
01:00:22,880 --> 01:00:24,560
Speaker 2: They call it cat coverage because you'd be like, I

1097
01:00:24,560 --> 01:00:26,640
Speaker 2: got that cat, you got that cat. I got that cat.

1098
01:00:26,680 --> 01:00:29,560
Speaker 2: You got that cat. And some guys are better in that, like, hey,

1099
01:00:30,680 --> 01:00:32,920
Speaker 2: I just need a guy to study that I can

1100
01:00:32,960 --> 01:00:35,720
Speaker 2: follow all week. I don't want to understand route concepts.

1101
01:00:35,720 --> 01:00:37,800
Speaker 2: I don't want to understand combinations. I don't want to

1102
01:00:37,840 --> 01:00:40,840
Speaker 2: understand all that. Give me the guy and I'll stop

1103
01:00:40,920 --> 01:00:43,240
Speaker 2: him catching the ball. I was a different kind of

1104
01:00:43,240 --> 01:00:45,040
Speaker 2: guy than that. I want the whole scheme. I want

1105
01:00:45,040 --> 01:00:47,520
Speaker 2: the whole picture. I'm sometimes gonna steal a route that

1106
01:00:47,560 --> 01:00:49,600
Speaker 2: has nothing to do with me and intercept it for

1107
01:00:49,640 --> 01:00:53,320
Speaker 2: the game. And and everybody's different, but you have to

1108
01:00:53,400 --> 01:00:56,400
Speaker 2: understand who you're recruiting, who you're drafting, and be able

1109
01:00:56,440 --> 01:00:59,640
Speaker 2: to design your scheme if you're a good enough coordinator

1110
01:00:59,760 --> 01:01:02,840
Speaker 2: to fit your personnel and your personnel to fit your scheme.

1111
01:01:03,440 --> 01:01:07,800
Speaker 2: And Sam Donald is the perfect example, eleven touchdowns on

1112
01:01:07,840 --> 01:01:12,160
Speaker 2: the season, leading the National Football League, coming from Kyle

1113
01:01:12,160 --> 01:01:15,120
Speaker 2: Shanahan's system, where he backed up Brock Party and got

1114
01:01:15,160 --> 01:01:17,760
Speaker 2: a few opportunities to showcase his talent A little bit,

1115
01:01:17,760 --> 01:01:21,400
Speaker 2: but not a ton. But he showed a massive development,

1116
01:01:21,440 --> 01:01:23,880
Speaker 2: a massive step forward from what he was dealing with

1117
01:01:23,920 --> 01:01:26,200
Speaker 2: when he was with the New York Jets. When he

1118
01:01:26,240 --> 01:01:28,440
Speaker 2: got drafted, it just was not the right situation, the

1119
01:01:28,520 --> 01:01:31,920
Speaker 2: right fit, the right offense, the right scheme, the right personnel,

1120
01:01:32,000 --> 01:01:34,800
Speaker 2: and he didn't succeed Mitchell. People were calling him a

1121
01:01:34,840 --> 01:01:38,080
Speaker 2: bus And now if you if you go back in

1122
01:01:38,160 --> 01:01:40,080
Speaker 2: time and you erased all that and you said, hey,

1123
01:01:40,160 --> 01:01:43,360
Speaker 2: Sam Donald was a was a top pick and he's

1124
01:01:43,440 --> 01:01:47,880
Speaker 2: leading the league in touchdowns, you say, obviously they thought

1125
01:01:47,880 --> 01:01:50,200
Speaker 2: he was a top pick. They thought the talent was there.

1126
01:01:50,640 --> 01:01:54,040
Speaker 2: They saw what people saw at USC. But now he

1127
01:01:54,120 --> 01:01:58,320
Speaker 2: has the supporting cast and justin Jefferson Addison had a

1128
01:01:58,360 --> 01:02:00,680
Speaker 2: really good game, a really good curl go route for

1129
01:02:00,720 --> 01:02:03,520
Speaker 2: a touchdown where he dropped the dime on him. He

1130
01:02:03,560 --> 01:02:06,760
Speaker 2: has a supporting defense, you know, just like a young game.

1131
01:02:06,800 --> 01:02:09,360
Speaker 2: He has a run game and Aaron Jones, who had

1132
01:02:09,360 --> 01:02:14,080
Speaker 2: a fantastic revenge game against the Green Bay Packers, who

1133
01:02:14,120 --> 01:02:16,360
Speaker 2: I don't think should have ever let him walk, not

1134
01:02:16,480 --> 01:02:18,560
Speaker 2: for that price. You know, it does stuff like that

1135
01:02:18,640 --> 01:02:21,240
Speaker 2: I don't understand because it comes back to bite you

1136
01:02:21,240 --> 01:02:24,000
Speaker 2: in the butt when it's when you're sitting there, one

1137
01:02:24,120 --> 01:02:28,120
Speaker 2: two million dollars homegrown guy who's played well in the

1138
01:02:28,120 --> 01:02:31,840
Speaker 2: playoffs for you, understands your system, understands your fan base.

1139
01:02:31,920 --> 01:02:34,840
Speaker 2: The fans seem to love him, embrace the culture like

1140
01:02:36,160 --> 01:02:39,440
Speaker 2: it's so rare that not that Jacobs isn't Josh Jacobs

1141
01:02:39,480 --> 01:02:42,200
Speaker 2: isn't a phenomenal back. He is a phenomenal talent. But

1142
01:02:43,040 --> 01:02:45,520
Speaker 2: you had a guy who is both a great receiver,

1143
01:02:45,640 --> 01:02:48,640
Speaker 2: a great running back, fits your scheme, understands your quarterback

1144
01:02:48,720 --> 01:02:52,160
Speaker 2: blocks well. And now he had twenty two rushes for

1145
01:02:52,240 --> 01:02:55,800
Speaker 2: ninety three yards against you, four receptions for forty six yards,

1146
01:02:56,160 --> 01:02:58,840
Speaker 2: and it's first and he's doing Lambeau Leaks with the

1147
01:02:58,880 --> 01:03:01,919
Speaker 2: Minnesota Vikings for them on after the game. And don't

1148
01:03:01,920 --> 01:03:04,880
Speaker 2: be mad at him. He wanted to stay. And now

1149
01:03:04,960 --> 01:03:07,360
Speaker 2: his team is four and zero. You got a division

1150
01:03:07,520 --> 01:03:10,520
Speaker 2: rival that you just helped get better with a back

1151
01:03:10,640 --> 01:03:15,520
Speaker 2: you could have kept home. And that's that's one of

1152
01:03:15,520 --> 01:03:18,520
Speaker 2: those decisions I'm sure they'll look back on as a mistake.

1153
01:03:19,840 --> 01:03:22,640
Speaker 1: Will you talk about a good scheme fit and a

1154
01:03:22,680 --> 01:03:25,760
Speaker 1: good team fit, I mean, Aaron Jones was both of

1155
01:03:25,800 --> 01:03:27,920
Speaker 1: those things with the Green Bay Packers and they let

1156
01:03:28,000 --> 01:03:32,360
Speaker 1: him walk. And we talked about it in our free

1157
01:03:32,400 --> 01:03:36,320
Speaker 1: agency recap midway through the offseason, Richard, we both were

1158
01:03:36,400 --> 01:03:39,720
Speaker 1: kind of shrugging, like, Okay, like you just said, Josh Jacobs,

1159
01:03:39,720 --> 01:03:43,200
Speaker 1: great player, bruiser, you know, younger than Aaron Jones. I

1160
01:03:43,200 --> 01:03:45,280
Speaker 1: know Aaron Jones was a little beat up his last

1161
01:03:45,280 --> 01:03:48,200
Speaker 1: two years with the Packers. But how you can just

1162
01:03:48,280 --> 01:03:49,960
Speaker 1: let a guy like this walk out the door? And

1163
01:03:50,000 --> 01:03:53,480
Speaker 1: then you look at the other side at Minnesota all

1164
01:03:53,560 --> 01:03:55,640
Speaker 1: last year, They've got all these weapons, right, they go

1165
01:03:55,680 --> 01:03:57,920
Speaker 1: out and spend a high draft pick on Jordan Addison,

1166
01:03:57,920 --> 01:04:01,240
Speaker 1: they already got Justin Jefferson. Hockinson's going to be coming

1167
01:04:01,280 --> 01:04:03,840
Speaker 1: off ir tiar two. But what they did not have

1168
01:04:04,000 --> 01:04:06,880
Speaker 1: last year is a running game. They relied heavily on

1169
01:04:06,920 --> 01:04:09,360
Speaker 1: Alexander Madison. He wasn't the guy they thought he could

1170
01:04:09,440 --> 01:04:11,480
Speaker 1: be in Prior to that, they had Dalvin Cook, who

1171
01:04:11,840 --> 01:04:14,360
Speaker 1: who we talked about off here, had his fumbling issues,

1172
01:04:14,440 --> 01:04:17,800
Speaker 1: had his injury issues, was one hit away from being

1173
01:04:17,840 --> 01:04:20,280
Speaker 1: out of every game, it seemed. And now they had

1174
01:04:20,280 --> 01:04:23,160
Speaker 1: a reliable veteran in Aaron Jones. And you gotta sit

1175
01:04:23,200 --> 01:04:25,280
Speaker 1: back and wonder, man, you've got a guy you can

1176
01:04:25,280 --> 01:04:27,720
Speaker 1: trust with the ball in his hands in the backfield,

1177
01:04:27,720 --> 01:04:29,800
Speaker 1: and Aaron Jones, and then you got those wideouts, and

1178
01:04:29,840 --> 01:04:32,240
Speaker 1: now you just insert a game manager and Sam Darnold.

1179
01:04:32,800 --> 01:04:36,120
Speaker 1: The Vikings have been objectively, I don't think there's much

1180
01:04:36,160 --> 01:04:38,920
Speaker 1: debate the most dominant team in the NFL this year

1181
01:04:38,960 --> 01:04:41,720
Speaker 1: thus far. They've only trailed for less than three and

1182
01:04:41,720 --> 01:04:44,800
Speaker 1: a half minutes all season, and they jumped out twenty

1183
01:04:44,840 --> 01:04:47,280
Speaker 1: eight to nothing on the road against the Pack. As

1184
01:04:47,320 --> 01:04:49,680
Speaker 1: a Lions fan, I'm nervous about this team because, like

1185
01:04:49,720 --> 01:04:53,480
Speaker 1: you said, they got Brian Flores, this defense stays humming.

1186
01:04:54,040 --> 01:04:57,840
Speaker 1: The Minnesota Vikings are a team to watch out for

1187
01:04:58,520 --> 01:05:02,320
Speaker 1: on a league scaled not just divisionally, and this.

1188
01:05:02,240 --> 01:05:06,720
Speaker 2: Was a big game, but for all intents and purposes,

1189
01:05:06,760 --> 01:05:09,520
Speaker 2: this is a division game. You're in Green Bay, you're

1190
01:05:09,560 --> 01:05:13,360
Speaker 2: at Lambeau. Your team's four and oh now and now

1191
01:05:13,440 --> 01:05:15,680
Speaker 2: they got to continue. Now this is the standard. And

1192
01:05:15,720 --> 01:05:18,160
Speaker 2: they go to play a Jets team that's coming off

1193
01:05:18,200 --> 01:05:21,240
Speaker 2: a very tough loss. The defense has been playing really well,

1194
01:05:22,320 --> 01:05:24,640
Speaker 2: but a quarterback that was hit fourteen times. So you

1195
01:05:24,680 --> 01:05:27,200
Speaker 2: talk about Brian Flores licking his chops and his defense

1196
01:05:27,240 --> 01:05:29,120
Speaker 2: looking at their chops. They're gonna continue. They're going to

1197
01:05:29,160 --> 01:05:31,560
Speaker 2: look at everything the Denver Broncos did and they're gonna

1198
01:05:31,560 --> 01:05:33,800
Speaker 2: do it again to the Jets. So this team could

1199
01:05:33,840 --> 01:05:37,240
Speaker 2: be looking at five and zero and we're talking about

1200
01:05:37,840 --> 01:05:40,280
Speaker 2: the potential, like we have to start talking about number

1201
01:05:40,320 --> 01:05:43,400
Speaker 2: one seed in the playoffs as they continue to go

1202
01:05:43,480 --> 01:05:49,880
Speaker 2: through their schedule because they have favorable matchups. They do

1203
01:05:50,160 --> 01:05:50,560
Speaker 2: they do.

1204
01:05:53,400 --> 01:05:55,480
Speaker 1: I want to move on here, Richard. We already kind

1205
01:05:55,480 --> 01:05:58,160
Speaker 1: of touched on it a little bit, but the Washington we.

1206
01:05:58,120 --> 01:06:01,560
Speaker 2: Can't not touch on Xavier McKinney getting his fourth interception

1207
01:06:01,960 --> 01:06:05,840
Speaker 2: in four games mitche leading the league, National Football League

1208
01:06:05,840 --> 01:06:08,520
Speaker 2: and interceptions and a lot of these are covered twos.

1209
01:06:08,560 --> 01:06:10,600
Speaker 2: He just has such a great field for the game,

1210
01:06:11,040 --> 01:06:16,480
Speaker 2: a great understanding, obviously, great ball skills, and he's been

1211
01:06:16,480 --> 01:06:20,400
Speaker 2: one of their most underrated pickups this offseason. No question

1212
01:06:20,480 --> 01:06:21,400
Speaker 2: is Xavier McKenny.

1213
01:06:22,040 --> 01:06:24,360
Speaker 1: The Giants should have never let him walk, But the

1214
01:06:24,360 --> 01:06:27,640
Speaker 1: Giants will continue to do Giants things. Let's talk about

1215
01:06:27,680 --> 01:06:31,480
Speaker 1: another player that's just really taking the league by storm

1216
01:06:31,520 --> 01:06:33,680
Speaker 1: here at Jade and Daniels and I know you touched

1217
01:06:33,720 --> 01:06:36,920
Speaker 1: on it briefly earlier, but the Washington Commanders are one

1218
01:06:36,960 --> 01:06:40,040
Speaker 1: of those teams, and we've talked about it the last

1219
01:06:40,120 --> 01:06:42,440
Speaker 1: couple of weeks. If Jade and Daniels can come in

1220
01:06:42,480 --> 01:06:47,040
Speaker 1: here and pull a CJ. Stroud and elevate everyone around him,

1221
01:06:47,040 --> 01:06:49,480
Speaker 1: which it looks like he's doing. Look out for the

1222
01:06:49,560 --> 01:06:51,760
Speaker 1: Washington Commanders and I know you got a buddy on

1223
01:06:51,800 --> 01:06:55,320
Speaker 1: that on that defense and Bobby Wagner leading the charge

1224
01:06:55,360 --> 01:06:58,320
Speaker 1: for this team defensively. They go on the road against

1225
01:06:58,360 --> 01:07:01,080
Speaker 1: Arizona Cardinals, who's been a tough matchup for every team

1226
01:07:01,120 --> 01:07:04,040
Speaker 1: they played this year, and they absolutely shall lack them

1227
01:07:04,120 --> 01:07:07,160
Speaker 1: forty two to fourteen. Jayden Daniels goes twenty six of

1228
01:07:07,240 --> 01:07:09,480
Speaker 1: thirty Richard for two hundred and thirty three yards. I mean,

1229
01:07:10,000 --> 01:07:12,600
Speaker 1: this kid's a rookie. I mean, are you kid me?

1230
01:07:12,800 --> 01:07:17,040
Speaker 1: Eighty nine percent completion percentage the last two weeks. Is

1231
01:07:17,080 --> 01:07:20,880
Speaker 1: it safe to say the defense or the Rookie Player

1232
01:07:20,920 --> 01:07:23,080
Speaker 1: of the Year is wrapped up with Jayden Daniels.

1233
01:07:23,240 --> 01:07:25,800
Speaker 2: Well, it's a long season, so let's not wrap up anything.

1234
01:07:25,920 --> 01:07:29,680
Speaker 2: Let's not give anybody that before it is due. But

1235
01:07:30,320 --> 01:07:33,880
Speaker 2: he's definitely in the lead, Mitchell, and he's done. He's

1236
01:07:33,880 --> 01:07:38,840
Speaker 2: done a great job earning it before before they punted

1237
01:07:38,960 --> 01:07:45,160
Speaker 2: this game, they had fifteen straight you know, with it

1238
01:07:45,240 --> 01:07:49,080
Speaker 2: continuing in this into this game, fifteen straight scoring drives

1239
01:07:49,320 --> 01:07:53,240
Speaker 2: without a punt. They punted this game. And this is

1240
01:07:53,240 --> 01:07:55,920
Speaker 2: a rookie quarterback. I mean it goes to the offensive

1241
01:07:55,960 --> 01:07:58,480
Speaker 2: coordinator and the job that he's doing. It goes to

1242
01:08:00,000 --> 01:08:03,680
Speaker 2: obviously Jayden Daniel's efficiency eighty nine percent over the last

1243
01:08:03,720 --> 01:08:09,000
Speaker 2: two games, completion percentage. But the kids just poised and

1244
01:08:09,000 --> 01:08:12,240
Speaker 2: he's having a good time. He's dancing, he's running when

1245
01:08:12,280 --> 01:08:14,320
Speaker 2: he needs to. He's keeping his body out of trouble,

1246
01:08:14,440 --> 01:08:16,280
Speaker 2: out of harm's way. He's not taking a lot of hits.

1247
01:08:16,320 --> 01:08:18,439
Speaker 2: He was Week one. He took a couple week one

1248
01:08:18,479 --> 01:08:21,080
Speaker 2: that I kind of cringed at and said, h be careful.

1249
01:08:21,160 --> 01:08:25,400
Speaker 2: I mean, we saw with Anthony Richardson him once again

1250
01:08:25,479 --> 01:08:27,599
Speaker 2: go out with an injury. Like last year he went

1251
01:08:27,640 --> 01:08:30,400
Speaker 2: out with a season ending injury. We're praying that it's

1252
01:08:30,400 --> 01:08:33,040
Speaker 2: not a season ending hip injury this time and maybe

1253
01:08:33,080 --> 01:08:34,840
Speaker 2: it's just a stinger or a hit pointer and he'll

1254
01:08:34,880 --> 01:08:38,200
Speaker 2: be back next week. But it's a dangerous game, and

1255
01:08:38,240 --> 01:08:40,720
Speaker 2: as a mobile quarterback, you have to get yourself out

1256
01:08:40,760 --> 01:08:44,480
Speaker 2: of harm's way. You can run. You can be dynamic,

1257
01:08:45,120 --> 01:08:47,160
Speaker 2: get down or get out of bounds, and he's doing

1258
01:08:47,160 --> 01:08:48,840
Speaker 2: a great job of doing that. But let's talk about

1259
01:08:48,840 --> 01:08:52,160
Speaker 2: his arm metal, his decision making. He had He had

1260
01:08:52,200 --> 01:08:54,479
Speaker 2: one pass that I got away from him ended up

1261
01:08:54,520 --> 01:08:57,880
Speaker 2: being interception in the ball game, which I'm sure he

1262
01:08:57,920 --> 01:09:00,759
Speaker 2: wants that one back. But for all into and purposes,

1263
01:09:00,800 --> 01:09:03,120
Speaker 2: this kid has had great command. He looks a lot

1264
01:09:03,160 --> 01:09:05,160
Speaker 2: like CJ. Stroud did last year. And not to take

1265
01:09:05,200 --> 01:09:08,000
Speaker 2: anything away from what he's doing because he's his own man,

1266
01:09:08,680 --> 01:09:12,840
Speaker 2: but just making the game look really easy, and this

1267
01:09:12,880 --> 01:09:14,840
Speaker 2: is a hard game to play. It's definitely a hard

1268
01:09:14,840 --> 01:09:17,680
Speaker 2: game to quarterback, and we've seen that a number of

1269
01:09:17,720 --> 01:09:20,880
Speaker 2: times from other quarterbacks. He just seems like he's prepared

1270
01:09:20,880 --> 01:09:26,559
Speaker 2: for the moment. Dan Quinn Bobby Wagner had this defense

1271
01:09:26,680 --> 01:09:29,960
Speaker 2: right where they need to be competing in these ball games.

1272
01:09:30,120 --> 01:09:33,200
Speaker 2: They held the Arizona Cardinals. And the Arizona Cardinals have

1273
01:09:33,320 --> 01:09:35,320
Speaker 2: had some up and down games where they scored a

1274
01:09:35,360 --> 01:09:37,439
Speaker 2: lot of points, They've not scored a lot of points,

1275
01:09:37,439 --> 01:09:40,479
Speaker 2: et cetera, et cetera. But they held this offense to

1276
01:09:40,560 --> 01:09:43,920
Speaker 2: fourteen points and they were able to get huge stops

1277
01:09:43,920 --> 01:09:48,080
Speaker 2: in this offense and run game man Brian Robinson and

1278
01:09:48,120 --> 01:09:51,439
Speaker 2: these receivers. He's spreading the ball around, these veterans, zach

1279
01:09:51,600 --> 01:09:55,240
Speaker 2: Ertz catching them passes. This is gonna be a team

1280
01:09:55,520 --> 01:09:58,760
Speaker 2: that has a chance, really has a chance to win

1281
01:09:58,800 --> 01:10:02,120
Speaker 2: this division because the other teams that you would think

1282
01:10:02,439 --> 01:10:06,800
Speaker 2: are favored and dominant, the Dallas Cowboys, incredibly talented team,

1283
01:10:06,840 --> 01:10:10,040
Speaker 2: are now really beat up and really just not looking

1284
01:10:10,160 --> 01:10:13,760
Speaker 2: like they're on track offensively to be dominant. And then

1285
01:10:13,800 --> 01:10:17,280
Speaker 2: you look at the Philadelphia Eagles, who just got beat

1286
01:10:17,320 --> 01:10:20,639
Speaker 2: pretty handily by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Without Aj Brown

1287
01:10:20,680 --> 01:10:24,000
Speaker 2: and Devonte Smith and Lane Johnson just look vulnerable. And

1288
01:10:24,000 --> 01:10:26,439
Speaker 2: if you let this team get too many wins ahead,

1289
01:10:26,520 --> 01:10:28,680
Speaker 2: you're not gonna be able to catch up. And if

1290
01:10:28,720 --> 01:10:31,760
Speaker 2: they can find a way to beat the Dallas Cowboys

1291
01:10:31,880 --> 01:10:37,160
Speaker 2: or to beat the Philadelphia Eagles once, maybe twice, Mitchell,

1292
01:10:37,200 --> 01:10:39,200
Speaker 2: we're talking about a changing of the guard because this

1293
01:10:39,320 --> 01:10:40,799
Speaker 2: quarterback isn't going anywhere.

1294
01:10:41,880 --> 01:10:44,120
Speaker 1: And I like the changing of the guard call because

1295
01:10:44,120 --> 01:10:46,040
Speaker 1: I like this team in the division. I mean, you

1296
01:10:46,120 --> 01:10:48,919
Speaker 1: go on the road last week and beat the Cincinnati Bengals,

1297
01:10:49,120 --> 01:10:52,920
Speaker 1: who are desperate for a win on the road. Richard

1298
01:10:53,200 --> 01:10:55,360
Speaker 1: and dominate that game for the most part. I know

1299
01:10:55,400 --> 01:10:58,200
Speaker 1: it got a little close late, but dude, I mean

1300
01:10:58,280 --> 01:11:01,679
Speaker 1: the Washington Commanders had that game controlled for the bulk

1301
01:11:01,720 --> 01:11:03,360
Speaker 1: of that game. And then they go on the road

1302
01:11:03,400 --> 01:11:05,760
Speaker 1: again against the Cardinals team that is again another team

1303
01:11:05,800 --> 01:11:09,440
Speaker 1: that's desperate for a win, and they dominate. Jaden Daniels.

1304
01:11:09,520 --> 01:11:12,040
Speaker 1: I like the Washington Commanders. I like him in the division.

1305
01:11:12,240 --> 01:11:14,720
Speaker 1: They can take advantage because who knows what's gonna happen

1306
01:11:14,800 --> 01:11:19,000
Speaker 1: with Micah Parsons, with Exeter Lawrence being out. The Cowboys

1307
01:11:19,000 --> 01:11:21,200
Speaker 1: could go on a little dry spell here too. And

1308
01:11:21,320 --> 01:11:24,240
Speaker 1: like you said, they did not look themselves at all

1309
01:11:24,400 --> 01:11:26,599
Speaker 1: on Thursday night. I know they walked away with a win,

1310
01:11:27,120 --> 01:11:30,439
Speaker 1: but you're telecast everyone. Tony Gonzalez said it best. I mean,

1311
01:11:30,479 --> 01:11:33,160
Speaker 1: this team just does not look like the Dallas Cowboys.

1312
01:11:33,760 --> 01:11:36,639
Speaker 1: And you see the Eagles reeling with injuries. I think

1313
01:11:36,680 --> 01:11:38,679
Speaker 1: this might be the Washington Commander's division.

1314
01:11:39,760 --> 01:11:40,080
Speaker 2: Richard.

1315
01:11:40,120 --> 01:11:43,840
Speaker 1: Let's take it to Indianapolis. We saw justin Fields. You know,

1316
01:11:43,880 --> 01:11:48,639
Speaker 1: he played decent twenty two to thirty four, three hundred

1317
01:11:48,640 --> 01:11:51,280
Speaker 1: and twelve yards in a loss. You know, had one

1318
01:11:51,320 --> 01:11:54,519
Speaker 1: blunder there with the fumble. What are your thoughts. You're

1319
01:11:54,600 --> 01:11:57,839
Speaker 1: Mike Tomlin, you experience your first loss of the season.

1320
01:11:58,439 --> 01:12:01,719
Speaker 1: If Russell Wilson's bad and ready to go next week,

1321
01:12:02,000 --> 01:12:04,479
Speaker 1: where's your mind at? Are you sticking with Justin Fields?

1322
01:12:04,479 --> 01:12:06,040
Speaker 1: Are you moving over to Russell Wilson?

1323
01:12:06,680 --> 01:12:08,960
Speaker 2: I think you have to play the hot hand. You

1324
01:12:09,000 --> 01:12:13,439
Speaker 2: can't risk you know, RUSS trying to get up to speed.

1325
01:12:13,600 --> 01:12:15,839
Speaker 2: You know, it's tough to come into the National Football

1326
01:12:15,920 --> 01:12:19,120
Speaker 2: League and play a game for five games into the

1327
01:12:19,160 --> 01:12:22,080
Speaker 2: season because everybody else is up to speed. Everybody else

1328
01:12:22,120 --> 01:12:25,080
Speaker 2: is moving five games, they're on rhythm. Now they're not.

1329
01:12:25,560 --> 01:12:28,800
Speaker 2: You know, first couple of games, you're rusty, you're knocking

1330
01:12:28,840 --> 01:12:32,360
Speaker 2: off for RUSS. Coverages are knocking off RUSS players may

1331
01:12:32,360 --> 01:12:34,720
Speaker 2: have more bust offensive line and still trying to get

1332
01:12:34,840 --> 01:12:38,439
Speaker 2: some continuity. Defensive linemen are you know, trying to work

1333
01:12:38,439 --> 01:12:42,360
Speaker 2: out their moves. But five games in, teams are roaring,

1334
01:12:42,920 --> 01:12:45,640
Speaker 2: raring to go, and for Justin Fields to take the

1335
01:12:45,720 --> 01:12:48,240
Speaker 2: kind of step he did in the second half of

1336
01:12:48,280 --> 01:12:51,519
Speaker 2: this game, first half is still kind of rough. We

1337
01:12:51,560 --> 01:12:54,320
Speaker 2: can talk about the fumble, you know, just a bad

1338
01:12:54,320 --> 01:12:55,880
Speaker 2: play where he should have just got rid of it

1339
01:12:56,240 --> 01:12:58,760
Speaker 2: and saved the bad play. But trying to do too much.

1340
01:12:59,280 --> 01:13:03,920
Speaker 2: But he could have folded right there. He could have

1341
01:13:03,920 --> 01:13:05,599
Speaker 2: went into the two. We could have went into the hole,

1342
01:13:05,640 --> 01:13:08,080
Speaker 2: and at times last year with Chicago Bears he did,

1343
01:13:08,560 --> 01:13:11,720
Speaker 2: and you know, problems got compounded. But he showed a

1344
01:13:11,760 --> 01:13:14,679
Speaker 2: real growth in this game. Three hundred and twelve yards,

1345
01:13:14,720 --> 01:13:17,280
Speaker 2: ten rushes for fifty five yards and two touchdowns. When

1346
01:13:17,320 --> 01:13:20,920
Speaker 2: he needed to use his legs, he did, and he

1347
01:13:20,920 --> 01:13:22,840
Speaker 2: didn't lean on him. He didn't say, man, I got

1348
01:13:22,880 --> 01:13:26,040
Speaker 2: to use my legs to so you know, I'm scared

1349
01:13:26,080 --> 01:13:28,799
Speaker 2: to throw it. He threw it when he could. George

1350
01:13:28,800 --> 01:13:31,880
Speaker 2: Pickens hit him a number of times. Unfortunately, that was

1351
01:13:31,920 --> 01:13:35,400
Speaker 2: another play that could have that hurt him was a

1352
01:13:35,479 --> 01:13:38,280
Speaker 2: George Pickens fumble in the red zone where he just

1353
01:13:38,360 --> 01:13:40,479
Speaker 2: hit him with a good pass. George Pickens trying to

1354
01:13:40,479 --> 01:13:45,320
Speaker 2: get more yards fumbles gives the ball back and you

1355
01:13:45,400 --> 01:13:47,840
Speaker 2: lose a really close ball game where if you don't

1356
01:13:47,880 --> 01:13:50,240
Speaker 2: have that turnover, maybe you win that game. And this

1357
01:13:50,360 --> 01:13:53,639
Speaker 2: wasn't their defense's best performance. As I said before, they

1358
01:13:53,640 --> 01:13:57,000
Speaker 2: had been playing freaking world class football the first couple

1359
01:13:57,080 --> 01:14:01,920
Speaker 2: games of the season. TJ. Watt single handedly pretty much

1360
01:14:01,920 --> 01:14:04,240
Speaker 2: winning games or scoring on defense They're doing a lot

1361
01:14:04,240 --> 01:14:06,759
Speaker 2: of great things this game, you know, against the offense

1362
01:14:06,800 --> 01:14:09,320
Speaker 2: that you're not expecting a ton up from and a

1363
01:14:09,400 --> 01:14:12,560
Speaker 2: defense that's been statistically one of the worst in the

1364
01:14:12,640 --> 01:14:15,639
Speaker 2: National Football League. You thought this was a layup game.

1365
01:14:15,680 --> 01:14:18,000
Speaker 2: But there's no layups. There's no guarantees in the National

1366
01:14:18,040 --> 01:14:22,400
Speaker 2: Football League, as we continue to see. And in a

1367
01:14:22,439 --> 01:14:26,800
Speaker 2: game where they were struggling and Flacco came in a

1368
01:14:26,880 --> 01:14:29,280
Speaker 2: veteran quarterback who can just get the job done. Hit

1369
01:14:29,320 --> 01:14:32,759
Speaker 2: the open guy, complete the easy passes, complete the layoffs.

1370
01:14:33,280 --> 01:14:36,519
Speaker 2: Really gave them issues and they needed Justin Fields to

1371
01:14:36,560 --> 01:14:38,720
Speaker 2: play over and beyond and for a while he did.

1372
01:14:38,840 --> 01:14:40,920
Speaker 2: He had a chance with two minutes to go and

1373
01:14:41,320 --> 01:14:42,800
Speaker 2: at the end of the game to drive the ball

1374
01:14:42,840 --> 01:14:47,480
Speaker 2: down the field. Again, they had some mishaps, a misssnap

1375
01:14:47,840 --> 01:14:50,360
Speaker 2: put them behind the eight ball, couldn't could never recover

1376
01:14:50,479 --> 01:14:53,680
Speaker 2: and get back ahead of the sticks. But this has

1377
01:14:53,760 --> 01:14:56,600
Speaker 2: to be very, very encouraging if you're Mike Tomlin and

1378
01:14:56,640 --> 01:14:58,760
Speaker 2: you're just thinking about the development of Justin Fields and

1379
01:14:58,760 --> 01:15:02,040
Speaker 2: what he could be in the future. But who knows,

1380
01:15:02,080 --> 01:15:04,000
Speaker 2: I don't make the call. Maybe they play Russell Wilson

1381
01:15:04,040 --> 01:15:06,200
Speaker 2: next week and they say, hey, man, they didn't see

1382
01:15:06,240 --> 01:15:10,040
Speaker 2: enough from justin fields to continue. But it just wouldn't

1383
01:15:10,040 --> 01:15:11,680
Speaker 2: feel right now. I don't think the fans or the

1384
01:15:11,680 --> 01:15:12,640
Speaker 2: players would expect that.

1385
01:15:14,280 --> 01:15:17,719
Speaker 1: You gotta love Joe Flacco just coming into this game

1386
01:15:17,800 --> 01:15:20,559
Speaker 1: and continuing his hot streak from last year. I mean,

1387
01:15:20,680 --> 01:15:23,920
Speaker 1: comes in late Salvage is a Brown season, like really

1388
01:15:24,040 --> 01:15:27,280
Speaker 1: turns around his career, and then he comes in here

1389
01:15:27,600 --> 01:15:31,400
Speaker 1: and it's like, I bet the Steelers fans and coaching

1390
01:15:31,400 --> 01:15:34,680
Speaker 1: staff were probably wishing that Anthony Richardson was still in

1391
01:15:34,720 --> 01:15:37,439
Speaker 1: the game, because he goes sixteen to twenty six, one

1392
01:15:37,560 --> 01:15:40,960
Speaker 1: sixty eight, two touchdowns, pushing the ball all over the place,

1393
01:15:41,040 --> 01:15:45,080
Speaker 1: getting Josh Downs involved, who really hasn't done anything all season.

1394
01:15:45,120 --> 01:15:47,120
Speaker 1: It goes to show you when you have a quarterback

1395
01:15:47,160 --> 01:15:49,680
Speaker 1: that can distribute the football and you got weapons like

1396
01:15:49,720 --> 01:15:53,160
Speaker 1: the Colts have, you know, Joe Flacco might have just

1397
01:15:53,200 --> 01:15:56,320
Speaker 1: found himself another home Richard. Who knows how long Anthony

1398
01:15:56,400 --> 01:16:02,160
Speaker 1: Richardson's out, but Flacco continues doing Flacco things. Let's take

1399
01:16:02,200 --> 01:16:06,240
Speaker 1: it to Chicago. Chicago gets a much much needed win.

1400
01:16:06,800 --> 01:16:10,400
Speaker 1: Caleb Williams has arguably his best game as a pro,

1401
01:16:10,920 --> 01:16:13,360
Speaker 1: seventeen to twenty three for one p fifty seven in

1402
01:16:13,400 --> 01:16:17,439
Speaker 1: a touchdown. But Richard, what are your thoughts on him

1403
01:16:17,479 --> 01:16:21,760
Speaker 1: thus far? Because you're not seeing the same fanfare that

1404
01:16:21,800 --> 01:16:24,960
Speaker 1: you see with Jade and Daniels. You see with Jayden Daniels,

1405
01:16:25,040 --> 01:16:27,120
Speaker 1: you see, Hey, this guy is going to be a superstar.

1406
01:16:27,840 --> 01:16:29,800
Speaker 1: I don't know if I feel the same way about

1407
01:16:29,840 --> 01:16:32,880
Speaker 1: Caleb Williams just yet. What are your thoughts on him?

1408
01:16:33,280 --> 01:16:35,400
Speaker 2: Well, you know, just give him credit. You know, it's

1409
01:16:35,400 --> 01:16:37,519
Speaker 2: hard to win this league, and this defense has given

1410
01:16:37,600 --> 01:16:42,240
Speaker 2: him a lot of chance chances to win. They're keeping

1411
01:16:42,280 --> 01:16:45,080
Speaker 2: him in the game. They're playing great football. Jakwan Brisker

1412
01:16:45,160 --> 01:16:47,920
Speaker 2: could have had two interceptions in this game. One of

1413
01:16:47,920 --> 01:16:50,400
Speaker 2: them he's stepped out of bounds leading to a field

1414
01:16:50,400 --> 01:16:54,320
Speaker 2: goal for the Rams, but got the game ceiling interception

1415
01:16:54,439 --> 01:16:57,840
Speaker 2: at the end. I just saw Caleb Williams miss a

1416
01:16:57,840 --> 01:17:00,559
Speaker 2: few passes that you expect an NFL quarterback to make,

1417
01:17:00,600 --> 01:17:04,080
Speaker 2: and he's young, and he did get sacked three times.

1418
01:17:04,080 --> 01:17:06,160
Speaker 2: And I you know, I've been very tough on the

1419
01:17:06,200 --> 01:17:09,080
Speaker 2: offensive line of the Chicago Bears, and they did a

1420
01:17:09,160 --> 01:17:12,200
Speaker 2: much better job in this game. They did a much

1421
01:17:12,200 --> 01:17:14,960
Speaker 2: better job in this game opening holes up for DeAndre

1422
01:17:15,080 --> 01:17:17,360
Speaker 2: Swift to get through. He had a number of big

1423
01:17:17,439 --> 01:17:20,800
Speaker 2: runs that helped him, and that's that's again the best

1424
01:17:20,840 --> 01:17:22,840
Speaker 2: friend of a young quarterback is a run game and

1425
01:17:22,880 --> 01:17:26,040
Speaker 2: your defense and take pressure off of him so that

1426
01:17:26,160 --> 01:17:28,679
Speaker 2: he can develop and he can miss a few throws

1427
01:17:28,720 --> 01:17:31,280
Speaker 2: and then maybe he start to learn within the game

1428
01:17:31,360 --> 01:17:34,200
Speaker 2: and win and hit those throws later on. And he

1429
01:17:34,439 --> 01:17:38,120
Speaker 2: ended up hitting Dj Moore for a touchdown late in

1430
01:17:38,160 --> 01:17:40,760
Speaker 2: the game, a really good pass. But he missed on

1431
01:17:40,880 --> 01:17:46,080
Speaker 2: a few and he benefited from a defensive pi on

1432
01:17:46,160 --> 01:17:49,800
Speaker 2: Tradavious White when he was guarding Keenan Allen got it

1433
01:17:49,840 --> 01:17:53,200
Speaker 2: to the one yard line. They run it in. So

1434
01:17:53,400 --> 01:17:57,680
Speaker 2: you appreciate his development, you know, and him being more

1435
01:17:57,680 --> 01:18:00,160
Speaker 2: efficient caring about the ball. But those sacks, so a

1436
01:18:00,160 --> 01:18:03,040
Speaker 2: lot of those sacks were him holding the ball too long.

1437
01:18:04,520 --> 01:18:06,400
Speaker 2: Things he has to learn. You got to speed up

1438
01:18:06,400 --> 01:18:09,360
Speaker 2: your process. Understand when it collapses, you don't have more

1439
01:18:09,400 --> 01:18:11,120
Speaker 2: than four or five seconds to get that ball out

1440
01:18:11,160 --> 01:18:14,080
Speaker 2: of there. Don't always try to play hero ball. There

1441
01:18:14,080 --> 01:18:16,240
Speaker 2: were times he got out the pocket. He looked like

1442
01:18:16,280 --> 01:18:18,120
Speaker 2: he did in college, that quick flick of the wrist

1443
01:18:18,160 --> 01:18:22,040
Speaker 2: that everybody's falling in love with. That. Patrick Mahon's like movement,

1444
01:18:23,320 --> 01:18:25,360
Speaker 2: but when you're in that pocket and it's collapsing and

1445
01:18:25,360 --> 01:18:27,679
Speaker 2: you say hey, sometimes you just got to say, hey,

1446
01:18:28,120 --> 01:18:30,120
Speaker 2: we don't got it, display let it go, and that

1447
01:18:30,200 --> 01:18:33,400
Speaker 2: would avoid some of those sacks. And some offensive linemen,

1448
01:18:33,920 --> 01:18:37,559
Speaker 2: you know, would say those should be counted differently because

1449
01:18:37,600 --> 01:18:41,439
Speaker 2: offensive linemen say get rid of the football and quarterbacks

1450
01:18:41,439 --> 01:18:43,000
Speaker 2: say hold on to the football because I want to

1451
01:18:43,000 --> 01:18:46,280
Speaker 2: protect my efficiency. But the sacks fall off on the

1452
01:18:46,280 --> 01:18:49,080
Speaker 2: offensive line. So if you throw it away, it's incompletion,

1453
01:18:49,160 --> 01:18:50,800
Speaker 2: but it's not a sack on the offensive line. But

1454
01:18:50,800 --> 01:18:52,920
Speaker 2: if you hold it, it's a sack on the offensive line,

1455
01:18:53,000 --> 01:18:56,679
Speaker 2: but it's not incompletion, so it's not necessarily a negative

1456
01:18:56,680 --> 01:18:59,000
Speaker 2: play on a quarterback stat sheet. So he has to

1457
01:18:59,040 --> 01:19:01,439
Speaker 2: find a way to to get that ball out. But

1458
01:19:01,600 --> 01:19:04,800
Speaker 2: congratulations to him. Another win, and it's hard to win

1459
01:19:04,840 --> 01:19:05,679
Speaker 2: in this league.

1460
01:19:07,240 --> 01:19:09,840
Speaker 1: We got a big game tomorrow night, and you're wearing

1461
01:19:09,880 --> 01:19:15,559
Speaker 1: the Seattle Seahawks cap. And I'm gonna be at the game, Richard.

1462
01:19:15,960 --> 01:19:19,280
Speaker 1: The Detroit Lions take on your Seattle Seahawks. Let's talk

1463
01:19:19,320 --> 01:19:22,280
Speaker 1: about this game real quick. I need a little prediction

1464
01:19:22,360 --> 01:19:24,160
Speaker 1: from you. I mean, where's your hat at with this game?

1465
01:19:24,200 --> 01:19:27,400
Speaker 1: Do you believe that the Seattle Seahawks can go on

1466
01:19:27,439 --> 01:19:31,720
Speaker 1: the road again and spoil the Monday night for the

1467
01:19:31,760 --> 01:19:32,479
Speaker 1: Detroit Lions.

1468
01:19:32,840 --> 01:19:35,280
Speaker 2: Well, I'll say this, and I'll you know, I always

1469
01:19:35,320 --> 01:19:37,400
Speaker 2: like to leave with facts and things that that makes

1470
01:19:37,400 --> 01:19:41,080
Speaker 2: it okay. I do the Seattle Seahawks have not necessarily

1471
01:19:41,120 --> 01:19:43,559
Speaker 2: played the greatest defense the last few years, and that's

1472
01:19:43,560 --> 01:19:46,400
Speaker 2: statistically speaking, and still found a way to battle in

1473
01:19:46,479 --> 01:19:50,800
Speaker 2: those games. They have a new a new look. They're

1474
01:19:50,800 --> 01:19:54,040
Speaker 2: playing some of their best football you talk about Witherspoon

1475
01:19:54,120 --> 01:19:59,800
Speaker 2: and Tarik wooland playing honestly really lockdown defense within McDonald's

1476
01:19:59,800 --> 01:20:03,880
Speaker 2: ski Boye Mafe, who's not playing this game, Leonard Williams,

1477
01:20:04,000 --> 01:20:07,000
Speaker 2: Byron Murphy all out for this game, but other guys

1478
01:20:07,040 --> 01:20:14,080
Speaker 2: have stepped up and made tremendous impact. And I think schematically,

1479
01:20:14,240 --> 01:20:16,360
Speaker 2: Mike McDonald puts a lot of pressure on himself to

1480
01:20:16,400 --> 01:20:20,240
Speaker 2: make things right, and the Detroit Lions, when facing this

1481
01:20:20,400 --> 01:20:23,960
Speaker 2: scheme against Baltimore last year, did not fare well. I

1482
01:20:24,000 --> 01:20:25,880
Speaker 2: think it was thirty eight to six or something along

1483
01:20:25,920 --> 01:20:29,840
Speaker 2: those lines. So it's a lot of those things that

1484
01:20:29,960 --> 01:20:33,920
Speaker 2: lead me to believe that Mike McDonald has answers for

1485
01:20:33,960 --> 01:20:36,400
Speaker 2: what Ben Johnson was trying to do last year. Maybe

1486
01:20:36,400 --> 01:20:39,759
Speaker 2: Ben Johnson makes an adjustment, Maybe Jared Golf plays better.

1487
01:20:40,800 --> 01:20:42,960
Speaker 2: Maybe this offensive line just says, hey, screw it, We're

1488
01:20:43,000 --> 01:20:45,240
Speaker 2: just gonna play bully ball and we run it down

1489
01:20:45,280 --> 01:20:48,360
Speaker 2: your throats the entire game. Who knows, but you know,

1490
01:20:48,439 --> 01:20:51,519
Speaker 2: Tyrrell Dotson has stepped up and played a great role

1491
01:20:51,560 --> 01:20:55,120
Speaker 2: in his defense. Jaron Reid's gonna have a phenomenal game.

1492
01:20:55,160 --> 01:20:57,040
Speaker 2: I believe this will be a breakout game for him.

1493
01:20:57,080 --> 01:21:01,559
Speaker 2: Derek Hale, who's been really a menace as an outside linebacker,

1494
01:21:01,600 --> 01:21:04,000
Speaker 2: slash d in, whatever you want to label him. But

1495
01:21:04,840 --> 01:21:07,559
Speaker 2: anything can happen. You know, Detroit is an incredible team,

1496
01:21:07,680 --> 01:21:10,519
Speaker 2: especially at home here at Golf is playing good football.

1497
01:21:10,520 --> 01:21:14,800
Speaker 2: But if they start to get to Jared early, you

1498
01:21:14,840 --> 01:21:17,200
Speaker 2: know how that goes. I do.

1499
01:21:18,479 --> 01:21:21,439
Speaker 1: Detroit needs to go out there and prove themselves again.

1500
01:21:21,520 --> 01:21:24,400
Speaker 1: I mean, even that Arizona game, they put twenty points

1501
01:21:24,400 --> 01:21:26,080
Speaker 1: on the board in the first half and didn't score

1502
01:21:26,120 --> 01:21:27,680
Speaker 1: the rest of the game. They need to come out

1503
01:21:27,680 --> 01:21:30,280
Speaker 1: and be a little bit more consistent. Sam Laporte is

1504
01:21:30,280 --> 01:21:31,800
Speaker 1: a little dinged up, but they got to get them

1505
01:21:31,840 --> 01:21:32,400
Speaker 1: more involved.

1506
01:21:32,560 --> 01:21:32,920
Speaker 2: Richard.

1507
01:21:33,320 --> 01:21:35,920
Speaker 1: For me, I need to see the Lions score thirty

1508
01:21:35,920 --> 01:21:40,080
Speaker 1: plus points this week to feel a little calm because

1509
01:21:40,080 --> 01:21:44,559
Speaker 1: their defenses looked good, but offensively they haven't showcased their

1510
01:21:44,600 --> 01:21:47,360
Speaker 1: same skill set as they did last year. So I'm

1511
01:21:47,400 --> 01:21:50,120
Speaker 1: hoping and praying. But I got the Lions winning thirty

1512
01:21:50,120 --> 01:21:53,000
Speaker 1: one to twenty one tomorrow. That's my take on it.

1513
01:21:53,200 --> 01:21:56,280
Speaker 1: I need a little score present. Give me a score prediction,

1514
01:21:56,400 --> 01:21:57,200
Speaker 1: Richard before.

1515
01:21:57,240 --> 01:22:02,679
Speaker 2: Prediction Mitchell four or seventeen a Seattle Seahawks pull away

1516
01:22:02,960 --> 01:22:07,160
Speaker 2: with the victory. My wild card in this, Mitchell is

1517
01:22:07,240 --> 01:22:11,519
Speaker 2: that is that defensive line versus of Detroit's versus the

1518
01:22:11,520 --> 01:22:17,559
Speaker 2: offensive line of Seattle Seahawks. That can be the oil

1519
01:22:17,800 --> 01:22:21,200
Speaker 2: and in all this party, that can be the thing

1520
01:22:21,280 --> 01:22:25,880
Speaker 2: that ruins this day for Gino Smith, DK Metcalf JSCN,

1521
01:22:27,120 --> 01:22:31,519
Speaker 2: Tyler Lockett and the boys K nine supposedly playing this game.

1522
01:22:31,560 --> 01:22:33,519
Speaker 2: He's he's healthy for the first time in a couple

1523
01:22:33,520 --> 01:22:35,799
Speaker 2: of weeks. That'll be a boost that this offense needs.

1524
01:22:35,880 --> 01:22:38,640
Speaker 2: But if they cannot protect Geno Smith, if Aiden Hutchinson

1525
01:22:38,880 --> 01:22:40,880
Speaker 2: continues to go off in the way he has as

1526
01:22:40,880 --> 01:22:44,240
Speaker 2: the you know, league leader in sacks, then that that

1527
01:22:44,360 --> 01:22:46,840
Speaker 2: changes the whole equation. Because you got to be able

1528
01:22:46,880 --> 01:22:49,880
Speaker 2: to protect the quarterback. When Geno's kept clean, he's very

1529
01:22:49,880 --> 01:22:52,519
Speaker 2: tough to deal with. Richard.

1530
01:22:52,560 --> 01:22:55,360
Speaker 1: I will let you sign us off as we can conclude.

1531
01:22:55,439 --> 01:22:58,160
Speaker 1: I mean, shoot, we're already through week four. This is

1532
01:22:58,720 --> 01:23:00,840
Speaker 1: time flies sign us.

1533
01:23:00,640 --> 01:23:04,240

1536
