Indeed, we are 3 00:00:29,068 --> 00:00:31,508 Speaker 1: presented by old trapper Beef Jerky. We're live here in 4 00:00:31,508 --> 00:00:34,148 Speaker 1: New York City. It's Tuesday, November twenty ninth. I'm Jamie 5 00:00:34,268 --> 00:00:36,468 Speaker 1: art All. It's Kyle Brent, Peter Schrager, Jason mccrewy. We 6 00:00:36,468 --> 00:00:38,228 Speaker 1: were just talking in the break about how many shows 7 00:00:38,308 --> 00:00:40,788 Speaker 1: we have done together. What does it feel like to you? 8 00:00:40,988 --> 00:00:43,628 Speaker 1: Thousand or one? Oh? Man, I get to wake up 9 00:00:43,668 --> 00:00:47,308 Speaker 1: next to you, guys, it feels like day one. Wake 10 00:00:47,388 --> 00:00:48,628 Speaker 1: up to you. The first thing I said to you 11 00:00:48,708 --> 00:00:49,948 Speaker 1: this morning, I looked at you. I looked at your 12 00:00:49,948 --> 00:00:51,468 Speaker 1: outfit and you look great. What did I say to you? 13 00:00:51,468 --> 00:00:56,788 Speaker 1: Look like Dball? Yeah? I don't think Debo from Friday. 14 00:00:58,948 --> 00:01:02,148 Speaker 1: I like him. We'll see I'm the one thousandth episode 15 00:01:02,148 --> 00:01:04,108 Speaker 1: of this of our group together. Kyle will have his 16 00:01:04,148 --> 00:01:05,748 Speaker 1: call or figured out on his button downs, which is 17 00:01:05,788 --> 00:01:07,388 Speaker 1: like he is in a T shirt. Now for the rest, 18 00:01:07,708 --> 00:01:09,908 Speaker 1: don't get him started right. Got to get those callers 19 00:01:09,908 --> 00:01:12,548 Speaker 1: to stay out. Man. That's inside stuff, but it hits 20 00:01:12,588 --> 00:01:16,788 Speaker 1: home now. I'm triggered. You know what else I'm game management. Yeah, 21 00:01:17,108 --> 00:01:19,908 Speaker 1: let's read this cool highlight. The Steelers cults. Everyone was 22 00:01:19,948 --> 00:01:22,108 Speaker 1: fired up for this game. Mike Tomlin is going to 23 00:01:22,148 --> 00:01:24,068 Speaker 1: have to finish five and one from here on out 24 00:01:24,108 --> 00:01:26,628 Speaker 1: to keep his never have a losing season record alive. 25 00:01:26,668 --> 00:01:28,828 Speaker 1: It's a really tough ask, but they came to fight 26 00:01:28,908 --> 00:01:30,788 Speaker 1: last night. They won twenty four to seven. Seen and 27 00:01:30,908 --> 00:01:34,628 Speaker 1: after the game, Mike Tomlin, as usual, asked about his 28 00:01:34,748 --> 00:01:39,948 Speaker 1: rookie quarterbacks progress. Guys, you guys ask me that every week. 29 00:01:40,188 --> 00:01:42,228 Speaker 1: You know, he's getting better every week, and it's in 30 00:01:42,268 --> 00:01:46,308 Speaker 1: a very natural way because of the experience. He's a competitor, 31 00:01:46,348 --> 00:01:48,668 Speaker 1: he's smart, but there's still a lot of meat on 32 00:01:48,708 --> 00:01:51,988 Speaker 1: the bone and it's just the process. But like I 33 00:01:52,068 --> 00:01:54,908 Speaker 1: always say, he's good enough and we're good enough to 34 00:01:54,908 --> 00:01:57,268 Speaker 1: win while that happens, and so we're not greating him 35 00:01:57,308 --> 00:01:59,908 Speaker 1: or us on a curve. We acknowledge that he's very 36 00:01:59,988 --> 00:02:02,388 Speaker 1: much in development. You can ask me next week and 37 00:02:02,428 --> 00:02:04,068 Speaker 1: I'll tell you he got better in all areas again 38 00:02:04,108 --> 00:02:08,388 Speaker 1: next week, because which each snap becomes exposure and sharp guys, 39 00:02:08,428 --> 00:02:13,708 Speaker 1: guys that are competitors, they grow from those things. All right, 40 00:02:13,748 --> 00:02:16,628 Speaker 1: let's hang within this division and talk elsewhere in the AFC. 41 00:02:16,788 --> 00:02:19,188 Speaker 1: Joe Burrow happy to have his old pal back this weekend. 42 00:02:19,228 --> 00:02:21,148 Speaker 1: Tom Pellisero, You're in my old pal, and I'm happy 43 00:02:21,148 --> 00:02:23,108 Speaker 1: to have you on the show to talk about Jamar Chase, 44 00:02:23,148 --> 00:02:25,188 Speaker 1: what's happening with the Bengals as they prepare to take 45 00:02:25,188 --> 00:02:29,868 Speaker 1: on the Chiefs. Happy to be here, Jamie. Jamar Chase 46 00:02:30,308 --> 00:02:34,668 Speaker 1: is expected to return for this week's AFC Championship rematch 47 00:02:34,748 --> 00:02:38,988 Speaker 1: against the Chiefs. This, according to our Ian Rappport yesterday, obviously, 48 00:02:39,068 --> 00:02:41,468 Speaker 1: would be a big addition for the Bengals at this 49 00:02:41,548 --> 00:02:44,228 Speaker 1: stage because Chase was on fire before he suffered that 50 00:02:44,348 --> 00:02:47,348 Speaker 1: hip injury back on October twenty third. Had fifteen catches 51 00:02:47,348 --> 00:02:49,428 Speaker 1: for over two hundred and sixty yards and four touchdowns 52 00:02:49,428 --> 00:02:53,588 Speaker 1: in the two games immediately preceding that injury. Meanwhile, the 53 00:02:53,708 --> 00:02:56,148 Speaker 1: coach Zack Taylor said that Joe Mixon remains in the 54 00:02:56,188 --> 00:02:59,748 Speaker 1: concussion proto call, but is making progress. The majority of 55 00:02:59,788 --> 00:03:02,148 Speaker 1: players do return two weeks after a concussion, So the 56 00:03:02,308 --> 00:03:05,508 Speaker 1: possibility here Jamie at the Bank, could have both of 57 00:03:05,508 --> 00:03:08,268 Speaker 1: those studs back for a big game against Kansas City. 58 00:03:09,628 --> 00:03:11,988 Speaker 1: That would be huge. That is a fantastic game to 59 00:03:12,028 --> 00:03:15,188 Speaker 1: look forward to Tom Pelaso. We appreciate you. Talk to 60 00:03:15,188 --> 00:03:16,948 Speaker 1: you in a little bit. Let's take a look at 61 00:03:16,948 --> 00:03:20,348 Speaker 1: the AFC playoff picture. The Bengals and the Ravens now 62 00:03:20,428 --> 00:03:24,228 Speaker 1: both sit at seven and four. However, Baltimore is sitting 63 00:03:24,268 --> 00:03:26,748 Speaker 1: a little bit prettier and the four seed thanks to 64 00:03:26,748 --> 00:03:31,228 Speaker 1: their Week five win over the current six seed Ravens. 65 00:03:31,868 --> 00:03:36,668 Speaker 1: But you may have felt like a slight seismic shift, 66 00:03:36,708 --> 00:03:40,348 Speaker 1: if those is an oxymoron, slight seismic when Cincinnati take 67 00:03:40,428 --> 00:03:42,988 Speaker 1: care of business against the Titans on the road and 68 00:03:43,028 --> 00:03:46,948 Speaker 1: the Ravens fell to Jacksonville. Just really unexpected Sunday outcomes 69 00:03:46,988 --> 00:03:49,948 Speaker 1: for these teams within that division. So let's talk AFC 70 00:03:50,148 --> 00:03:53,988 Speaker 1: North and the power shift that could have happened to Cincinnati. Say, 71 00:03:54,108 --> 00:03:56,228 Speaker 1: it feels like the vibe in the media is all 72 00:03:56,268 --> 00:03:59,348 Speaker 1: now going from Ravens to Bengals, and that's fair. They've 73 00:03:59,348 --> 00:04:01,068 Speaker 1: won three games in a row. They won in Tennessee 74 00:04:01,068 --> 00:04:03,228 Speaker 1: while the Ravens, of course lost. Let's look at what's 75 00:04:03,268 --> 00:04:05,028 Speaker 1: up ahead for these two teams. It's gonna be a 76 00:04:05,068 --> 00:04:07,308 Speaker 1: race to the finish. Obviously, the Ravens have the tiebreaker 77 00:04:07,348 --> 00:04:09,788 Speaker 1: they beat them, But on the left hand, side is 78 00:04:09,788 --> 00:04:15,948 Speaker 1: the Ravens, So Broncos struggling Steelers under five hundreds with 79 00:04:16,108 --> 00:04:19,588 Speaker 1: while the Falcons there's not. I mean that is on 80 00:04:19,628 --> 00:04:22,508 Speaker 1: the other end, you're looking at Brady trying to fight 81 00:04:22,548 --> 00:04:24,548 Speaker 1: to get in the playoffs, the Patriots fighting in the 82 00:04:24,548 --> 00:04:28,148 Speaker 1: playoffs to build. So you would say on paper, Bengals 83 00:04:28,268 --> 00:04:30,948 Speaker 1: have a tougher slate than the raven So, yes, this 84 00:04:31,108 --> 00:04:34,908 Speaker 1: shift then, Yet, gosh, have we not been here before? 85 00:04:34,988 --> 00:04:38,148 Speaker 1: I'm watching that game against Jacksonville and it is like 86 00:04:38,868 --> 00:04:41,668 Speaker 1: the definition of insanity is watching the same thing happen 87 00:04:41,788 --> 00:04:45,628 Speaker 1: over and over again. Why can't they stop anyone? And 88 00:04:45,668 --> 00:04:48,868 Speaker 1: when it matters, it's like there was no urgency and 89 00:04:48,908 --> 00:04:50,988 Speaker 1: this is a great defense all season and they've really 90 00:04:50,988 --> 00:04:54,028 Speaker 1: picked it up the last few weeks the Roqueans, And 91 00:04:54,428 --> 00:04:56,588 Speaker 1: this is against jackson So if we're gonna dismiss the 92 00:04:56,628 --> 00:04:59,108 Speaker 1: Bengals because of their schedule, that's remain against the Jaguar. 93 00:04:59,588 --> 00:05:02,428 Speaker 1: If you're losing to Jacksonville, you can lose to anybody, 94 00:05:02,668 --> 00:05:04,628 Speaker 1: can you pick it? Look all right, yesterday, I mean 95 00:05:04,708 --> 00:05:06,668 Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson's gonna be on the field for the Browns. 96 00:05:06,668 --> 00:05:10,908 Speaker 1: So to me, yeah, it's it's shifted and it's because 97 00:05:10,908 --> 00:05:12,908 Speaker 1: of that Ravens defense. And I go back one step further, 98 00:05:13,388 --> 00:05:15,508 Speaker 1: when Lamar would lose in the playoffs those first couple 99 00:05:15,508 --> 00:05:19,388 Speaker 1: of years, it would be like, all right, given the experience, 100 00:05:20,868 --> 00:05:23,068 Speaker 1: has anything changed on the coaching staff. I mean, yes, 101 00:05:23,108 --> 00:05:25,428 Speaker 1: Wink Martindale's no longer there and micaeldowns, but it's still 102 00:05:25,468 --> 00:05:28,548 Speaker 1: the Greg Roman offense. It's still horriball. It's still the 103 00:05:28,628 --> 00:05:31,668 Speaker 1: same way they operate without a big wide receiver. Like 104 00:05:32,628 --> 00:05:35,228 Speaker 1: when Steph Curry couldn't get up, they were like, all right, 105 00:05:35,388 --> 00:05:37,228 Speaker 1: let's make a couple of changes here and we'll get 106 00:05:37,268 --> 00:05:39,148 Speaker 1: you some different pieces and maybe Steve Kirk comes in 107 00:05:39,148 --> 00:05:41,148 Speaker 1: and does this. I feel like the Ravens are the 108 00:05:41,188 --> 00:05:43,588 Speaker 1: same team this year that they were three years ago, 109 00:05:43,748 --> 00:05:47,108 Speaker 1: four years ago, five standard. This is what it is. 110 00:05:47,108 --> 00:05:49,068 Speaker 1: Is they'll get into the playoffs and then they'll be 111 00:05:49,068 --> 00:05:51,108 Speaker 1: either on the road in the wildcard round or they'll 112 00:05:51,108 --> 00:05:52,868 Speaker 1: be at home. And like, I don't have much faith 113 00:05:52,908 --> 00:05:55,548 Speaker 1: that what we're watching Sundays to Sundays is going to 114 00:05:55,548 --> 00:05:57,148 Speaker 1: get over the hump. It is any different than it's 115 00:05:57,188 --> 00:05:58,988 Speaker 1: been in recent years. I hate to be such a 116 00:05:59,068 --> 00:06:01,588 Speaker 1: damper on this thing. But like that loss to Jacksonville 117 00:06:01,668 --> 00:06:03,908 Speaker 1: was really bad, really bad. They had that game in 118 00:06:03,908 --> 00:06:06,108 Speaker 1: their pocket and it felt like that one should have 119 00:06:06,108 --> 00:06:08,108 Speaker 1: been a winning If they're a different Ravens team, they 120 00:06:08,148 --> 00:06:11,428 Speaker 1: would have put them away. At the end. Cincinnati looks good. 121 00:06:11,468 --> 00:06:13,988 Speaker 1: I mean, they're scary right now. They're hitting on all 122 00:06:14,028 --> 00:06:16,908 Speaker 1: cylinders as they're getting their guys back, And you're right. 123 00:06:16,988 --> 00:06:19,468 Speaker 1: The loss that the Ravens just suffered to Jacksonville in 124 00:06:19,628 --> 00:06:22,508 Speaker 1: overtime was a tough one. But before that game, they 125 00:06:22,508 --> 00:06:24,228 Speaker 1: had ripped off four in a role and you look 126 00:06:24,228 --> 00:06:26,868 Speaker 1: at that game, it was a game of missed opportunities. 127 00:06:27,188 --> 00:06:29,908 Speaker 1: Multiple times in the red zone, they're walking away with 128 00:06:29,988 --> 00:06:33,508 Speaker 1: tucker Field goals instead of touchdowns. Mark Andrews drops a touchdown, 129 00:06:33,548 --> 00:06:37,268 Speaker 1: DeMarcus Robinson drops a touchdowns, Oliver drops a touchdown. Three 130 00:06:37,308 --> 00:06:41,548 Speaker 1: guys dropped touchdown passes in the red zone. And for me, 131 00:06:41,628 --> 00:06:44,188 Speaker 1: I look back. You talk about just Ravens defense struggling. 132 00:06:44,308 --> 00:06:46,188 Speaker 1: Yes they are, but I also look back at Week 133 00:06:46,228 --> 00:06:49,068 Speaker 1: five when they played the Cincinnati Bengals, and all week 134 00:06:49,148 --> 00:06:51,908 Speaker 1: we were playing the Marlon Humphrey sound with them being 135 00:06:52,028 --> 00:06:54,948 Speaker 1: thirty second in pass defense and getting ready to go 136 00:06:55,028 --> 00:06:58,068 Speaker 1: up against Jamaar Chase and see Higgins and mixing in 137 00:06:58,108 --> 00:07:00,188 Speaker 1: the backfield. However, were they going to be able to 138 00:07:00,188 --> 00:07:02,108 Speaker 1: handle these guys. And they go out and they win 139 00:07:02,228 --> 00:07:04,708 Speaker 1: this game, and they give up seventeen points to this 140 00:07:04,788 --> 00:07:07,268 Speaker 1: Cincinnati Bengals team. And I know it's been a while, 141 00:07:07,428 --> 00:07:10,068 Speaker 1: both teams have goal, both teams have gotten better. They're 142 00:07:10,068 --> 00:07:12,588 Speaker 1: playing at different levels right now. But let's just not 143 00:07:12,748 --> 00:07:15,268 Speaker 1: dismiss the fact that they beat them already and we 144 00:07:15,468 --> 00:07:18,268 Speaker 1: grave And I'm not saying the Baltimore Ravens are a 145 00:07:18,388 --> 00:07:21,308 Speaker 1: change team and they're destined for the super Bowl because Beer, 146 00:07:21,388 --> 00:07:23,908 Speaker 1: you bring up a lot of great points. They've struggled 147 00:07:23,908 --> 00:07:26,908 Speaker 1: into playoffs. The same offense that has been dominant throughout 148 00:07:26,908 --> 00:07:29,228 Speaker 1: the regular season hasn't been able to have that same 149 00:07:29,308 --> 00:07:31,628 Speaker 1: level of success when has been nutcutting time. And it's 150 00:07:31,628 --> 00:07:33,668 Speaker 1: the playoffs and you have to produce. Yeah, I said 151 00:07:33,708 --> 00:07:36,108 Speaker 1: to Kyle. And so I'm not saying they're in the 152 00:07:36,148 --> 00:07:38,188 Speaker 1: super Bowl. But this is a team I'm not ready 153 00:07:38,228 --> 00:07:41,148 Speaker 1: to say all of a sudden, I Cincinnati crowned them. 154 00:07:41,148 --> 00:07:43,748 Speaker 1: They're gonna win the Division's gonna be a battle between 155 00:07:43,788 --> 00:07:46,108 Speaker 1: these two teams. And I don't know If Baltimore has 156 00:07:46,188 --> 00:07:48,468 Speaker 1: given up that lead to the Bengals, they're still the 157 00:07:48,508 --> 00:07:50,588 Speaker 1: top of them in the division. It's gonna be a 158 00:07:50,588 --> 00:07:54,268 Speaker 1: really fun December for these two teams, that's for sure. Seismic. 159 00:07:54,308 --> 00:07:55,988 Speaker 1: I think we're on the doorstep of it of a 160 00:07:56,028 --> 00:07:59,148 Speaker 1: shift for the Bengals and this offense so far this season, 161 00:07:59,348 --> 00:08:01,668 Speaker 1: Joe Burrow, this is a little in the weeds, but 162 00:08:01,908 --> 00:08:04,388 Speaker 1: on passes that our seven yards are less, they don't 163 00:08:04,468 --> 00:08:07,108 Speaker 1: the game. They're owing four. When he passes for longer 164 00:08:07,148 --> 00:08:09,308 Speaker 1: than seven yards per tenth, they're seven and ol. So 165 00:08:09,388 --> 00:08:11,108 Speaker 1: what do you need back? Can need Jamar Chase back? 166 00:08:11,188 --> 00:08:14,148 Speaker 1: He's really good. He's been hurt. They've survived the last 167 00:08:14,148 --> 00:08:16,428 Speaker 1: four weeks without him. But a good Jamar Chase as 168 00:08:16,468 --> 00:08:19,468 Speaker 1: an opportunity downfield for a really good Joe Burrow is 169 00:08:19,508 --> 00:08:22,348 Speaker 1: something that every tim is going to struggle with, particularly 170 00:08:22,388 --> 00:08:24,388 Speaker 1: the Baltimore Ravens when they have to face them again, 171 00:08:24,468 --> 00:08:27,708 Speaker 1: but for any secondary, these two have a really special connection. 172 00:08:27,788 --> 00:08:30,628 Speaker 1: Jamar Chase was on pace to challenge that Justice Jefferson. 173 00:08:30,708 --> 00:08:34,228 Speaker 1: First three seasons, statistically, he's been really good. This injury 174 00:08:34,268 --> 00:08:36,468 Speaker 1: obviously set him back. He won't reach it now, but 175 00:08:36,708 --> 00:08:40,908 Speaker 1: He's really special. This Bengals offense is really special, especially 176 00:08:40,988 --> 00:08:43,548 Speaker 1: when the offensive line stands up, which they headed struggling 177 00:08:43,588 --> 00:08:45,908 Speaker 1: with to start this season. But it seems like every 178 00:08:45,948 --> 00:08:49,468 Speaker 1: group on this team, particularly the offense, has figured it out. 179 00:08:49,548 --> 00:08:51,548 Speaker 1: And what I like most is the confidence that Joe 180 00:08:51,548 --> 00:08:54,548 Speaker 1: Burrow has exuded throughout this entire time. He has never 181 00:08:54,588 --> 00:08:57,628 Speaker 1: looked rattled, He's never looked bothered. He looks really great. 182 00:08:57,628 --> 00:08:59,788 Speaker 1: And then he's been without his best buddy downfield for 183 00:08:59,828 --> 00:09:01,948 Speaker 1: the last four games and he's still figured it out. 184 00:09:01,988 --> 00:09:05,868 Speaker 1: The Bengals look good. The Ravens. They struggled against Jacksonville. 185 00:09:05,868 --> 00:09:07,708 Speaker 1: I think again, I was come back to when Achilles heel. 186 00:09:07,748 --> 00:09:09,868 Speaker 1: When a team like Jacksonville can expose something like that 187 00:09:09,908 --> 00:09:12,868 Speaker 1: for a Ravens defense, Bengals have been able to snowball this. 188 00:09:13,028 --> 00:09:15,388 Speaker 1: I think the shift is going their way. It feels 189 00:09:15,428 --> 00:09:17,788 Speaker 1: that way. And look, there's a stink on the Ravens. 190 00:09:18,028 --> 00:09:20,228 Speaker 1: And when you lose to Jacksonville in the last play 191 00:09:20,228 --> 00:09:21,628 Speaker 1: of the game, there's a stink on you. And I'm 192 00:09:21,628 --> 00:09:24,908 Speaker 1: sorry Jacksonville, but there's a stigma about the Jaguars. And 193 00:09:25,028 --> 00:09:28,868 Speaker 1: if this loss had been to the Raiders or even 194 00:09:28,908 --> 00:09:32,188 Speaker 1: the Lions out whatever, there's something about losing to Jacksonville. 195 00:09:32,228 --> 00:09:35,668 Speaker 1: It doesn't happen much, and especially in which your quarterback 196 00:09:35,868 --> 00:09:39,148 Speaker 1: was outplayed by their quarterback, and then your quarterback afterwards 197 00:09:39,148 --> 00:09:41,508 Speaker 1: when on social media and tweeted something really toxic and 198 00:09:41,508 --> 00:09:43,668 Speaker 1: abrasive and unprofessional and all that, and I'm sure he 199 00:09:43,708 --> 00:09:45,988 Speaker 1: regrets it, and then it becomes a story in the media. 200 00:09:46,068 --> 00:09:48,708 Speaker 1: There's a whole stink, and then there's the larger thing 201 00:09:48,708 --> 00:09:51,708 Speaker 1: about like, this is our quarter billion dollars quarterback and 202 00:09:51,748 --> 00:09:53,628 Speaker 1: he can't bet Jacksonville in a game that we need it. 203 00:09:53,628 --> 00:09:57,428 Speaker 1: And I get all of that. However, it is a 204 00:09:57,468 --> 00:09:59,948 Speaker 1: gut punch loss. There's not season anything. I'm actually doubling 205 00:09:59,948 --> 00:10:02,788 Speaker 1: down on Baltimore. Before that loss, they are on a 206 00:10:02,828 --> 00:10:06,308 Speaker 1: four game win streak, They're a first placed team. The 207 00:10:06,388 --> 00:10:08,788 Speaker 1: defense didn't look pretty in that loss. But like, if 208 00:10:08,788 --> 00:10:11,588 Speaker 1: we're sitting here with Buffalo and saying, well, they lost 209 00:10:11,588 --> 00:10:13,028 Speaker 1: two in a row and they lost to the Vikings, 210 00:10:13,028 --> 00:10:14,628 Speaker 1: they lost the Jets, but like we still kind of 211 00:10:14,668 --> 00:10:16,628 Speaker 1: believe in them, I'm not quite sure why we don't 212 00:10:16,628 --> 00:10:19,268 Speaker 1: give the same belief to Baltimore. What has Buffalo done 213 00:10:19,308 --> 00:10:21,788 Speaker 1: the Baltimore hasn't. I mean, they have a really talented 214 00:10:21,868 --> 00:10:23,388 Speaker 1: quarterback and they haven't been able to get to the 215 00:10:23,428 --> 00:10:25,988 Speaker 1: super Bowl. I still am in on Baltimore. I think 216 00:10:26,028 --> 00:10:28,388 Speaker 1: it was a really bad week, really bad. But this 217 00:10:28,468 --> 00:10:31,108 Speaker 1: is why you have that coaching staff that doesn't change. 218 00:10:31,268 --> 00:10:33,988 Speaker 1: That's why you have Lamar now there, Lamar might be 219 00:10:34,028 --> 00:10:36,308 Speaker 1: at a crossroads, not for his seasoning but like in 220 00:10:36,348 --> 00:10:40,348 Speaker 1: his whole career because the contract thing is massive. And 221 00:10:40,428 --> 00:10:42,868 Speaker 1: if we're sniffing some bad things that are happening and 222 00:10:42,868 --> 00:10:45,028 Speaker 1: this thing spirals out of control and the Bengals run 223 00:10:45,028 --> 00:10:46,788 Speaker 1: away with the North and they don't make it, then 224 00:10:46,828 --> 00:10:49,748 Speaker 1: we have like armageddon. In terms of Lamar, they lost 225 00:10:49,788 --> 00:10:51,548 Speaker 1: to Jacksonville. It was a bad loss. They were on 226 00:10:51,548 --> 00:10:53,908 Speaker 1: a four game winning street going into then. They're talented, 227 00:10:54,148 --> 00:10:55,868 Speaker 1: they've turned, they fixed some things. They have the same 228 00:10:55,868 --> 00:10:58,588 Speaker 1: coaching staff. Peter, you want to push back, just was 229 00:10:58,628 --> 00:11:00,508 Speaker 1: pose this on Twitter and I'm not asking for us 230 00:11:00,508 --> 00:11:03,148 Speaker 1: to do an answer. It sounds very offseason. Yeah, if 231 00:11:03,148 --> 00:11:04,708 Speaker 1: you had to build your team right now, you're taking 232 00:11:04,748 --> 00:11:08,948 Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson or Joe Burrow, bro Bro Bro Younger is 233 00:11:09,068 --> 00:11:10,748 Speaker 1: just I think he's shown a little bit more and 234 00:11:10,748 --> 00:11:12,948 Speaker 1: I can look at Mamars an MVP. I like Lamar. Yeah, 235 00:11:12,988 --> 00:11:15,468 Speaker 1: well answer your own question. It would be tough because 236 00:11:15,628 --> 00:11:18,028 Speaker 1: Lamar can win any game on his own. Burrow has 237 00:11:18,068 --> 00:11:20,428 Speaker 1: been to the AC Championship game in a second year. Like, 238 00:11:20,508 --> 00:11:22,108 Speaker 1: I just feel like Burrow right now. It's all the 239 00:11:22,108 --> 00:11:24,308 Speaker 1: momentum going towards sentiment. What do you guys say, Oh, 240 00:11:24,348 --> 00:11:27,468 Speaker 1: that's the tough one. Lamar's different. Yeah, that's a tough one. 241 00:11:28,068 --> 00:11:30,268 Speaker 1: I'll say Lamar to push back against your guys. But 242 00:11:30,508 --> 00:11:32,548 Speaker 1: either one of those guys, I'm taking him as my 243 00:11:32,628 --> 00:11:34,868 Speaker 1: quarterback and let's build around him, let's go win games. 244 00:11:35,028 --> 00:11:37,268 Speaker 1: I'm totally fine with Lamar under center as my quarterback. 245 00:11:37,308 --> 00:11:39,988 Speaker 1: It's like fifteen years around a one quarterback. You're gonna 246 00:11:39,988 --> 00:11:42,788 Speaker 1: build your team off them all go Burrow too, just 247 00:11:42,868 --> 00:11:44,908 Speaker 1: like it's just but the depends on what kind of 248 00:11:44,948 --> 00:11:47,108 Speaker 1: quarterback style you like to watch. You're in and you're out, 249 00:11:47,268 --> 00:11:53,948 Speaker 1: and what's sustainable for your team. Pitsburg gets a huge 250 00:11:54,028 --> 00:11:58,548 Speaker 1: road win on Monday night, keeping their mathematically slim playoff 251 00:11:58,588 --> 00:12:01,188 Speaker 1: hopes alive, but it was important important to see a 252 00:12:01,188 --> 00:12:03,428 Speaker 1: lot of things that went down last night. Takeaways from 253 00:12:03,428 --> 00:12:06,228 Speaker 1: the Steelers win over the Colts on a Monday night. Peter, Yeah, 254 00:12:06,268 --> 00:12:08,788 Speaker 1: you know, we're in the Zach Wilson world here at 255 00:12:08,908 --> 00:12:11,508 Speaker 1: good morning football in our back yard, and you hear 256 00:12:11,588 --> 00:12:14,268 Speaker 1: so much about well, Zach Wilson's young and he hasn't 257 00:12:14,308 --> 00:12:16,708 Speaker 1: had the experience yet and he's regressing and he doesn't 258 00:12:16,708 --> 00:12:19,788 Speaker 1: know it's Meanwhile, I'm watching a money night football. Kenny 259 00:12:19,788 --> 00:12:23,068 Speaker 1: Pickett is growing out before our very eyes into what 260 00:12:23,108 --> 00:12:25,028 Speaker 1: a starter should look like in the NFL. And he 261 00:12:25,188 --> 00:12:27,628 Speaker 1: wasn't this when he first got on the field. Last night, 262 00:12:27,628 --> 00:12:30,908 Speaker 1: they fall behind seventeen sixteen. Kenny Pickett takes his team says, 263 00:12:30,988 --> 00:12:35,188 Speaker 1: let's go on a drive. Two big third down conversions 264 00:12:35,228 --> 00:12:37,628 Speaker 1: that were huge here. This is third long on their own, 265 00:12:37,708 --> 00:12:40,948 Speaker 1: twenty picket across the field to Pikets, this is a 266 00:12:40,988 --> 00:12:44,268 Speaker 1: great combination. Already they're both first year guys. They're on 267 00:12:44,348 --> 00:12:47,268 Speaker 1: another third down conversion, nails this one to get to 268 00:12:47,268 --> 00:12:48,908 Speaker 1: the goal line. And then the story that we got 269 00:12:48,948 --> 00:12:51,268 Speaker 1: from the offensive line afterwards in the locker room is 270 00:12:51,268 --> 00:12:54,188 Speaker 1: that after a timeout because the injury, he called this 271 00:12:54,348 --> 00:12:56,508 Speaker 1: play to Benny snell I said he's the one who 272 00:12:56,548 --> 00:12:59,468 Speaker 1: was like, let's get this play going. So we're watching 273 00:12:59,468 --> 00:13:01,508 Speaker 1: someone grow up before our very eyes. You mentioned it. 274 00:13:01,508 --> 00:13:03,268 Speaker 1: It's been two weeks since he's throwing a turnover. That 275 00:13:03,348 --> 00:13:05,908 Speaker 1: was after the biweek. Has throwing a turnover yet. Last 276 00:13:05,908 --> 00:13:08,548 Speaker 1: week against Cincinnati, against a good Bengals team, he was 277 00:13:08,588 --> 00:13:10,988 Speaker 1: putting up points. He was moving the ball. I think 278 00:13:11,028 --> 00:13:13,508 Speaker 1: we're watching Kenny Pickett grow up before our very eyes. 279 00:13:13,548 --> 00:13:16,148 Speaker 1: And this might be a lost season in Pittsburgh. It 280 00:13:16,228 --> 00:13:18,068 Speaker 1: really might be. It might be, Hey, this finishes with 281 00:13:18,108 --> 00:13:20,028 Speaker 1: six wins or seven wins, or maybe it just ends 282 00:13:20,068 --> 00:13:22,348 Speaker 1: here and it's four wins. Whatever it is. But this 283 00:13:22,508 --> 00:13:25,668 Speaker 1: was the necessary lumps they needed. And now next year 284 00:13:25,748 --> 00:13:27,788 Speaker 1: Kenny Picket's gonna be a twenty five year old starter 285 00:13:27,828 --> 00:13:30,588 Speaker 1: in the NFL. Are no doubts. He's our guy. We've 286 00:13:30,588 --> 00:13:33,548 Speaker 1: got our quarterback situation assembly in New York right now. 287 00:13:33,588 --> 00:13:36,348 Speaker 1: You've got a younger quarterback in Wilson who's got another 288 00:13:36,428 --> 00:13:39,148 Speaker 1: year under his belt, and yet he's not quite figuring 289 00:13:39,188 --> 00:13:40,788 Speaker 1: it out and he's regressing. I think this is a 290 00:13:40,908 --> 00:13:43,228 Speaker 1: statement to the coaching shiven, to the young man, and 291 00:13:43,508 --> 00:13:45,468 Speaker 1: I come away from this thing. Big win for the 292 00:13:45,508 --> 00:13:47,508 Speaker 1: Steelers in that locker room, not a big win in 293 00:13:47,508 --> 00:13:50,188 Speaker 1: the overall AFC playoff pics necessarily, Yeah, I would agree 294 00:13:50,228 --> 00:13:52,428 Speaker 1: with that, and definitely not a law season because to 295 00:13:52,508 --> 00:13:54,948 Speaker 1: your point, when you have young players out of getting 296 00:13:54,948 --> 00:13:57,668 Speaker 1: a chance to develop in some games, whether it's meaningful 297 00:13:57,708 --> 00:14:01,108 Speaker 1: to the playoffs or not, like Mike Thomas said, it's 298 00:14:01,188 --> 00:14:03,708 Speaker 1: gained experience each time they're on the field. And you 299 00:14:03,788 --> 00:14:06,428 Speaker 1: just mentioned and he pick it in the George Pickens connection, 300 00:14:06,428 --> 00:14:09,308 Speaker 1: and my goodness, George Pickens looks good every time we 301 00:14:09,308 --> 00:14:11,188 Speaker 1: see a chance for him to go out down primetime. 302 00:14:11,228 --> 00:14:13,188 Speaker 1: We watched him early on in the season vers the 303 00:14:13,188 --> 00:14:16,548 Speaker 1: Browns make a ridiculous one hand catch and he's just 304 00:14:16,588 --> 00:14:19,908 Speaker 1: got started Monday night with another one deep down the sideline. 305 00:14:20,068 --> 00:14:22,428 Speaker 1: As I'm watching this, I'm like, face on the defender. 306 00:14:22,628 --> 00:14:25,708 Speaker 1: This is really good defense. Like Pickens stretches out catch 307 00:14:25,748 --> 00:14:27,988 Speaker 1: the ball across the sideline, he hits the ball and 308 00:14:27,988 --> 00:14:30,348 Speaker 1: he still is able to hold on to it. But 309 00:14:30,708 --> 00:14:32,988 Speaker 1: which stood out to me was he makes that huge catch, 310 00:14:33,108 --> 00:14:35,068 Speaker 1: but then throughout the course of the game he has 311 00:14:35,108 --> 00:14:38,308 Speaker 1: two drops after the cold score touchdown that in the 312 00:14:38,468 --> 00:14:42,068 Speaker 1: drive for the Pittsburgh Steelers, but he responds and you 313 00:14:42,108 --> 00:14:44,948 Speaker 1: showed that third and nine connection. Pick it to Pickens 314 00:14:45,028 --> 00:14:47,228 Speaker 1: and he makes a catch diving on the ground. Then 315 00:14:47,228 --> 00:14:49,308 Speaker 1: he comes up with a two point conversion later on 316 00:14:49,388 --> 00:14:52,028 Speaker 1: in that drive on the touchdown where he gets open 317 00:14:52,068 --> 00:14:54,268 Speaker 1: to give Pickett a chance to find the window to 318 00:14:54,308 --> 00:14:56,908 Speaker 1: make that throw. George Pickens is getting better, just like 319 00:14:57,028 --> 00:14:59,348 Speaker 1: Kenny Pikett, each week out, and he's gonna be a 320 00:14:59,348 --> 00:15:02,908 Speaker 1: superstar each time. He makes these miraculous catches, and it's 321 00:15:02,988 --> 00:15:05,468 Speaker 1: so fun and entertaining. The there's sometimes you'll see a 322 00:15:05,468 --> 00:15:07,468 Speaker 1: young receiver on the back end of a bad team, 323 00:15:07,548 --> 00:15:11,108 Speaker 1: like who just goes off? I'm thinking about Odell, Josh Gordon. 324 00:15:11,268 --> 00:15:13,708 Speaker 1: You're like, oh, these guys are great Darney Scott, Darnay 325 00:15:13,828 --> 00:15:17,948 Speaker 1: Scott Bengals teams. He would, Yeah, it looks really good. Though, 326 00:15:17,988 --> 00:15:20,548 Speaker 1: what do you guys, Jamie Ah, I have to flip 327 00:15:20,588 --> 00:15:22,828 Speaker 1: the table here and the final two minutes of that 328 00:15:22,868 --> 00:15:27,148 Speaker 1: game again, three timeouts again. I don't mean to sound snarky, 329 00:15:27,188 --> 00:15:29,828 Speaker 1: but like, you can't take them with you, Jeff Saturday. 330 00:15:29,868 --> 00:15:32,468 Speaker 1: And what I'm really curious about is the ball is 331 00:15:32,508 --> 00:15:34,308 Speaker 1: kept in bounce here for the Colts. They have four 332 00:15:34,308 --> 00:15:38,628 Speaker 1: opportunities than a two minute option. The clock is running 333 00:15:38,948 --> 00:15:42,068 Speaker 1: and Jeff Saturday's defense of his lack of time out 334 00:15:42,148 --> 00:15:44,828 Speaker 1: calling with three of them available to him was that 335 00:15:44,908 --> 00:15:48,068 Speaker 1: he felt like they had the right plays available and 336 00:15:48,108 --> 00:15:50,188 Speaker 1: they just didn't get them done in time. Well, coach, 337 00:15:50,228 --> 00:15:52,468 Speaker 1: that's your job to give them the opportunity to get 338 00:15:52,468 --> 00:15:54,908 Speaker 1: back to the line of scrimmage, to literally stop the 339 00:15:54,988 --> 00:15:57,588 Speaker 1: clock a game that we like to play and reset 340 00:15:58,188 --> 00:16:00,748 Speaker 1: have a minute with your team, with your coordinators. Here's 341 00:16:00,748 --> 00:16:02,348 Speaker 1: my question though, and this is kind of this is 342 00:16:02,348 --> 00:16:04,548 Speaker 1: a pestimistic way to look at it, but any I'm 343 00:16:04,548 --> 00:16:07,508 Speaker 1: screaming in Jeff Saturday's ear, anyone's telling him, coach, called 344 00:16:07,508 --> 00:16:10,308 Speaker 1: time out? What's happening? So one of two kind of 345 00:16:10,348 --> 00:16:12,268 Speaker 1: not great looks is happening with the Colts in the 346 00:16:12,308 --> 00:16:14,388 Speaker 1: final two minutes there. Either someone's barking at his ear 347 00:16:14,428 --> 00:16:17,468 Speaker 1: to call time out and he's so overwhelmed with the 348 00:16:17,508 --> 00:16:21,428 Speaker 1: situation not listening to have an awareness to have get 349 00:16:21,468 --> 00:16:26,148 Speaker 1: input in a game management situation like that, or people 350 00:16:26,188 --> 00:16:28,108 Speaker 1: are leaving them out to dry and they're not telling 351 00:16:28,188 --> 00:16:30,508 Speaker 1: him to call time out and it's just crickets and 352 00:16:30,628 --> 00:16:35,788 Speaker 1: that's his own decision. I mean, the owner doubled down 353 00:16:35,948 --> 00:16:37,948 Speaker 1: so hard on it, and everyone was so happy if 354 00:16:38,148 --> 00:16:40,188 Speaker 1: for fun, is anyone even allowed to be critical of 355 00:16:40,228 --> 00:16:42,068 Speaker 1: Jeff Saturday in the building, are they? Or is it 356 00:16:42,228 --> 00:16:44,788 Speaker 1: like oh the boss, Yeah, I'm not. I'm not messing 357 00:16:44,788 --> 00:16:46,908 Speaker 1: with him. The owner picked him of Jans Do they 358 00:16:46,908 --> 00:16:49,068 Speaker 1: want to do they want? Are they just like? But 359 00:16:49,148 --> 00:16:50,988 Speaker 1: here's that's what makes me think so it was crickets 360 00:16:50,988 --> 00:16:53,068 Speaker 1: in his ear because they're just like, Okay, if you're 361 00:16:53,108 --> 00:16:55,908 Speaker 1: gonna do this, then you're gonna. Well. I think what 362 00:16:55,988 --> 00:16:58,988 Speaker 1: this is is like, this is cat nip for anyone 363 00:16:59,028 --> 00:17:01,908 Speaker 1: who is rooting against Jeff Saturday, which I'm definitely not. 364 00:17:01,988 --> 00:17:03,708 Speaker 1: I still think the higher was ridiculous, But this is 365 00:17:03,748 --> 00:17:06,348 Speaker 1: the moment you've been waiting for. And what's strange to 366 00:17:06,388 --> 00:17:08,508 Speaker 1: me about it, Jamee, is that in the middle of 367 00:17:08,548 --> 00:17:10,068 Speaker 1: this and the clock's running and you have three and 368 00:17:10,108 --> 00:17:12,628 Speaker 1: you're losing you when you see him on the sideline, 369 00:17:12,668 --> 00:17:15,428 Speaker 1: like he's kind of just standing there. He's not saying anything, 370 00:17:15,508 --> 00:17:18,388 Speaker 1: he's not coaching. I love the visual. Uh, he's not coaching. 371 00:17:18,508 --> 00:17:23,268 Speaker 1: He's just kind of there. Um. Meanwhile, aikman, you know, 372 00:17:23,268 --> 00:17:26,348 Speaker 1: it's like really burning a lot of clock here and 373 00:17:26,508 --> 00:17:28,948 Speaker 1: been Buck's like, oh, I'm sure they'll call a time 374 00:17:28,948 --> 00:17:32,028 Speaker 1: out now, and Aikman's like wow. A couple other things. 375 00:17:32,348 --> 00:17:34,308 Speaker 1: I can't believe Matt Ryan didn't call it time out. 376 00:17:34,308 --> 00:17:36,548 Speaker 1: Who feels like he's been playing thirty years. After he 377 00:17:36,948 --> 00:17:39,068 Speaker 1: makes the long run, he would think call a time out. 378 00:17:39,108 --> 00:17:42,708 Speaker 1: Get involved. Um. Also, I'm really disappointed there was not 379 00:17:42,748 --> 00:17:45,788 Speaker 1: a Manning cast last night because obviously, you know, Peyton 380 00:17:45,788 --> 00:17:48,028 Speaker 1: and Jeff are very close, and Peyton's thing is always 381 00:17:48,188 --> 00:17:52,148 Speaker 1: time out. He's always screaming at the camera. Would he 382 00:17:52,148 --> 00:17:53,868 Speaker 1: have screamed him? Would you have said that a boy? 383 00:17:54,108 --> 00:17:57,948 Speaker 1: I think he probably would have screamed, but we didn't 384 00:17:57,948 --> 00:18:00,588 Speaker 1: get it, so it's irrelevant. Um, I think it's I 385 00:18:00,628 --> 00:18:02,828 Speaker 1: think it's it's two teams that are not going anywhere 386 00:18:02,908 --> 00:18:05,188 Speaker 1: right now. But this was the Jeff's Saturday moment, and 387 00:18:05,228 --> 00:18:07,988 Speaker 1: the excuse afterwards was kind of floundering. I find it 388 00:18:08,108 --> 00:18:10,748 Speaker 1: very strange. He's on the sideline, not coaching or yelling 389 00:18:10,868 --> 00:18:13,548 Speaker 1: or talking or gesticulated. He's just kind of there. So 390 00:18:13,628 --> 00:18:15,908 Speaker 1: that leads me to Jamie's questions about what is the 391 00:18:15,988 --> 00:18:18,668 Speaker 1: chain of command, who is in control, who's in the 392 00:18:18,748 --> 00:18:21,028 Speaker 1: driver's seat. There should have been all the time out 393 00:18:21,028 --> 00:18:22,988 Speaker 1: called for sure, they didn't lose the game because but 394 00:18:23,028 --> 00:18:24,628 Speaker 1: they lose the game because they ran out of downs. 395 00:18:24,628 --> 00:18:25,948 Speaker 1: But if you if you're watching the end of the 396 00:18:25,948 --> 00:18:27,588 Speaker 1: game and we're really getting really deep in the weeds, now, 397 00:18:27,988 --> 00:18:30,388 Speaker 1: if they get the first down, they would have eventually 398 00:18:30,468 --> 00:18:31,988 Speaker 1: run out of time or not been able to use 399 00:18:31,988 --> 00:18:33,628 Speaker 1: Taylor because they didn't call time out. So the game 400 00:18:33,668 --> 00:18:35,668 Speaker 1: management just went They went the hell out the window. 401 00:18:35,828 --> 00:18:37,628 Speaker 1: And I don't know who is in charge there. Look, 402 00:18:37,668 --> 00:18:39,148 Speaker 1: that's the thing. No one's at the wheel, Jason. What 403 00:18:39,188 --> 00:18:41,188 Speaker 1: did you see your point when you say, like even 404 00:18:41,188 --> 00:18:42,988 Speaker 1: Matt Ryan call the time out a lot of times 405 00:18:42,988 --> 00:18:45,428 Speaker 1: in those team meetings, the head coach says, I'm in 406 00:18:45,508 --> 00:18:47,948 Speaker 1: charge of the captain. Now I will be You'll see 407 00:18:47,948 --> 00:18:50,388 Speaker 1: the quarterback call it as a play cocks running down. 408 00:18:50,388 --> 00:18:52,668 Speaker 1: Stuff's not comfortable you call the time out in a 409 00:18:52,708 --> 00:18:55,588 Speaker 1: two minute situation. Players are on the field, they have 410 00:18:55,668 --> 00:18:57,828 Speaker 1: to play. That is where you have the coaches on 411 00:18:57,828 --> 00:19:01,268 Speaker 1: the sideline because the players everything's moving fast. To control 412 00:19:01,388 --> 00:19:03,868 Speaker 1: everything going on. And when you say, like you just said, 413 00:19:03,868 --> 00:19:05,788 Speaker 1: they ran out of downs, they didn't get to play. 414 00:19:05,908 --> 00:19:08,028 Speaker 1: But when you see a sack, when you see your 415 00:19:08,068 --> 00:19:11,308 Speaker 1: hand and people are scrambling a timeout just puts everybody 416 00:19:11,388 --> 00:19:14,588 Speaker 1: cannot So Stefan Dick makes a big catch and immediately 417 00:19:14,628 --> 00:19:17,468 Speaker 1: gets up and does this. Is that not usually advisable? 418 00:19:17,868 --> 00:19:19,788 Speaker 1: How many times do you see guys do that? Very rarely? 419 00:19:19,988 --> 00:19:21,628 Speaker 1: Because does he have the power to do it? And 420 00:19:21,628 --> 00:19:24,788 Speaker 1: that watch McVay sprinting down the sideline because as a coach, 421 00:19:25,028 --> 00:19:27,388 Speaker 1: I don't have an helmet on. I am at ease 422 00:19:27,508 --> 00:19:31,148 Speaker 1: my mind talking to me upstairs. I'm looking at it like, 423 00:19:31,228 --> 00:19:33,348 Speaker 1: all right, we're going right now. If we catch a 424 00:19:33,428 --> 00:19:35,148 Speaker 1: pass down the middle, we have to get a time out. 425 00:19:35,188 --> 00:19:37,548 Speaker 1: So coach should always be one to two steps ahead 426 00:19:37,588 --> 00:19:39,508 Speaker 1: as soon as that pass is completed. It's a great 427 00:19:39,548 --> 00:19:41,748 Speaker 1: job by Diggs, but he's running down the sideline time 428 00:19:41,748 --> 00:19:44,708 Speaker 1: out of time out for Matt Ryan, you start calling timehouse. 429 00:19:44,748 --> 00:19:48,028 Speaker 1: If Jeff Saturday's thinking something different, now you're conflicting and 430 00:19:48,068 --> 00:19:49,828 Speaker 1: he may want to save them, so it's it's a 431 00:19:49,828 --> 00:19:53,748 Speaker 1: little difficult. Diggs's play is so big, it's so obvious that, hey, 432 00:19:53,788 --> 00:19:56,708 Speaker 1: we're calling the time out the next play. I hear 433 00:19:56,788 --> 00:19:59,868 Speaker 1: that in any other game situation than in the sub 434 00:19:59,948 --> 00:20:02,228 Speaker 1: two minute when your clock is going I hear that 435 00:20:02,228 --> 00:20:04,228 Speaker 1: if it's a third quarter and you're like, dude, what 436 00:20:04,388 --> 00:20:06,068 Speaker 1: are you doing? I wanted to save that for X, 437 00:20:06,188 --> 00:20:08,628 Speaker 1: Y and Z, but I don't think anyone would have 438 00:20:08,748 --> 00:20:13,468 Speaker 1: argued against Matt Ryan or Jonathan's not my job. To 439 00:20:13,548 --> 00:20:16,308 Speaker 1: my point, what then? That feels very like you're on 440 00:20:16,348 --> 00:20:18,588 Speaker 1: an island, coach. I would have loved to see the 441 00:20:18,628 --> 00:20:21,388 Speaker 1: all twenty two of that whole two minute drive. It's 442 00:20:21,388 --> 00:20:26,388 Speaker 1: just an intern. Anybody going up, coach, Maybe a timeout, like, 443 00:20:26,828 --> 00:20:31,068 Speaker 1: just somebody have the guys back. Maybe Aman, I don't know, 444 00:20:31,388 --> 00:20:36,548 Speaker 1: he screaming from the broadcast. I was trying, Hey, jeff Right, 445 00:20:37,188 --> 00:20:42,468 Speaker 1: it's weird ending, all right? Tuesday morning, we do a segment, 446 00:20:42,508 --> 00:20:45,308 Speaker 1: we enter, wee out. We've got so many storylines across 447 00:20:45,428 --> 00:20:47,308 Speaker 1: the league and so many teams to talk about. One 448 00:20:47,308 --> 00:20:49,468 Speaker 1: team we didn't really talk a lot about on Monday, 449 00:20:50,388 --> 00:20:53,548 Speaker 1: the San Francisco forty nine ers. They're on a four 450 00:20:53,588 --> 00:20:57,468 Speaker 1: game winning streak, and it's the cost of necessarily McCaffrey 451 00:20:57,548 --> 00:21:02,428 Speaker 1: or Garoppolo. It's the defense that has been incredible. This 452 00:21:02,508 --> 00:21:04,828 Speaker 1: is in the second half of the last four games, 453 00:21:05,588 --> 00:21:10,428 Speaker 1: zero points, allowed, only less than one hundred yards per game, 454 00:21:10,828 --> 00:21:14,068 Speaker 1: and their most recent performance was a shutout against the Saints. 455 00:21:14,068 --> 00:21:16,468 Speaker 1: It's the first time the Saints have been shut out 456 00:21:16,788 --> 00:21:21,828 Speaker 1: since Week seventeen against two Oddly enough, the forty nine 457 00:21:21,908 --> 00:21:24,948 Speaker 1: ers in two thousand and one. Two thousand and one 458 00:21:25,068 --> 00:21:27,828 Speaker 1: nine Ers, twenty one year since the Saints went a 459 00:21:27,868 --> 00:21:29,868 Speaker 1: game without putting a point on the board. Here's the game. 460 00:21:30,308 --> 00:21:33,188 Speaker 1: That's our guy, Jeff Garcia. On the Saint side, it 461 00:21:33,268 --> 00:21:36,588 Speaker 1: was Aaron Brooks and Ricky Williams and they failed to 462 00:21:36,588 --> 00:21:40,228 Speaker 1: score against Steve mary Uchi. Yeah, what's up, mooch see 463 00:21:40,308 --> 00:21:43,188 Speaker 1: mary Uchi's forty nine ers. But enough about the past. 464 00:21:44,068 --> 00:21:46,428 Speaker 1: Let's talk about the current guy who we got there 465 00:21:46,908 --> 00:21:49,628 Speaker 1: as a deep, incomplete path to thigh streets. Bad I'll 466 00:21:49,668 --> 00:21:53,268 Speaker 1: take it. That's why we're here network. Here's my statement, 467 00:21:53,828 --> 00:21:58,068 Speaker 1: Damiko Ryans's defense the forty nine ers d In all 468 00:21:58,148 --> 00:22:02,068 Speaker 1: of football, you've got offense, defense and special teams, the 469 00:22:02,188 --> 00:22:05,988 Speaker 1: scariest unit in the sport right now are the forty 470 00:22:06,068 --> 00:22:10,788 Speaker 1: Niners defense. Jason, Yeah, I am in on this one, 471 00:22:10,908 --> 00:22:13,468 Speaker 1: Yes I am. And it's not all about stats. I know. Yes, 472 00:22:13,468 --> 00:22:16,108 Speaker 1: they're the number one scoring defense in the NFL, the 473 00:22:16,348 --> 00:22:19,108 Speaker 1: first in yards allowed in the NFL. But when you 474 00:22:19,148 --> 00:22:22,228 Speaker 1: talk about being scary. It's on each level of the defense. 475 00:22:22,388 --> 00:22:26,228 Speaker 1: Nick Bolsa up front, the pressure getting after quarterbacks, Fred 476 00:22:26,268 --> 00:22:29,308 Speaker 1: Warren on the second level, hitting people running the defense, 477 00:22:29,468 --> 00:22:34,468 Speaker 1: and then our guy talent fun and the back end 478 00:22:34,588 --> 00:22:38,988 Speaker 1: causing fumbles take sixes. This defense is scary because they're 479 00:22:39,388 --> 00:22:41,308 Speaker 1: up at the top when it comes to stats, but 480 00:22:41,308 --> 00:22:43,868 Speaker 1: they have scary players on defense, guys who can make 481 00:22:43,908 --> 00:22:46,708 Speaker 1: plays weekend and week out. I'm all in on the 482 00:22:46,748 --> 00:22:50,188 Speaker 1: forty nine ers defense getting it done each and every week. 483 00:22:50,348 --> 00:22:52,188 Speaker 1: Reason to do the segment is just to say, tell 484 00:22:52,468 --> 00:22:54,708 Speaker 1: who I'd like to say that guy's name and we 485 00:22:54,868 --> 00:22:57,708 Speaker 1: like to watch him play. For me. This comes down to, um, 486 00:22:57,828 --> 00:22:59,748 Speaker 1: would you want to be down four points and have 487 00:22:59,868 --> 00:23:01,748 Speaker 1: to draft go the whole field to beat the forty 488 00:23:01,828 --> 00:23:04,388 Speaker 1: nine ers or would you rather be up four points 489 00:23:04,388 --> 00:23:06,268 Speaker 1: went enough to face the Kansas City Chiefs And I'm 490 00:23:06,308 --> 00:23:08,748 Speaker 1: gonna go out on the Niners and look, I'm scary 491 00:23:08,788 --> 00:23:10,148 Speaker 1: in terms of like they're gonna beat me up and 492 00:23:10,148 --> 00:23:12,268 Speaker 1: they're gonna be my nightmares and they're gonna make me fumble. 493 00:23:12,348 --> 00:23:14,788 Speaker 1: The Niners scariest in terms of, like our season's gonna 494 00:23:14,788 --> 00:23:16,228 Speaker 1: over and I'm gonna get fired, or cut. I still 495 00:23:16,228 --> 00:23:18,028 Speaker 1: think it's the Kansas City Chiefs. I still think Patrick 496 00:23:18,068 --> 00:23:20,588 Speaker 1: Mahomes is the bad, bad, bad dude. I've seen him 497 00:23:20,588 --> 00:23:22,548 Speaker 1: do it a thousand times, thirteen seconds, you name it. 498 00:23:22,588 --> 00:23:24,468 Speaker 1: I think it is the Chiefs offense and Patrick Mahomes 499 00:23:24,588 --> 00:23:26,628 Speaker 1: is the scariest on the field. I'm gonna go with 500 00:23:26,668 --> 00:23:29,348 Speaker 1: the forty nine ers defense too. Okay, they play the 501 00:23:29,468 --> 00:23:32,348 Speaker 1: Dolphins this week, and Mike McDaniel had this fantastic story 502 00:23:32,868 --> 00:23:34,828 Speaker 1: because he's the offensive coordiney for the forty Nineers. He's 503 00:23:34,868 --> 00:23:37,708 Speaker 1: been watching this young man, Nick Moosa firsthand the last 504 00:23:37,748 --> 00:23:39,828 Speaker 1: couple of years. He goes he's the best pass rusher 505 00:23:39,868 --> 00:23:41,388 Speaker 1: in the NFL. That guy has a pulse. You have 506 00:23:41,468 --> 00:23:43,988 Speaker 1: to be concerned about him. He's hit a quarterback thirty 507 00:23:44,028 --> 00:23:46,348 Speaker 1: times so far the season, which leads the NFL. He's 508 00:23:46,348 --> 00:23:48,828 Speaker 1: got eleven and a half sacks. Feels like he's everywhere. 509 00:23:48,908 --> 00:23:50,868 Speaker 1: His name doesn't roll off the tongue the same way 510 00:23:50,948 --> 00:23:54,508 Speaker 1: Talo who fungus does Nick Umosa. But man, he rolls 511 00:23:54,548 --> 00:23:57,108 Speaker 1: off an offensive line like it's not even a problem. 512 00:23:57,308 --> 00:23:59,188 Speaker 1: Here's the favorite part of my Mike McDaniel story, though, 513 00:23:59,268 --> 00:24:01,628 Speaker 1: or the story he shared yesterday. In the media, says 514 00:24:01,748 --> 00:24:03,788 Speaker 1: Nick Bosa. You see him walking around the facility and 515 00:24:04,028 --> 00:24:06,468 Speaker 1: you know he's in the strength room. He looks awesome 516 00:24:06,628 --> 00:24:08,908 Speaker 1: and I gotta come back on Cameron order show you 517 00:24:08,988 --> 00:24:11,788 Speaker 1: this example. But so Mike Daniel goes he's in the 518 00:24:11,868 --> 00:24:14,268 Speaker 1: facility and he just does pass rush moves like on 519 00:24:14,428 --> 00:24:17,628 Speaker 1: indamant objects in the facility, like the soap dispenser. So 520 00:24:17,748 --> 00:24:19,868 Speaker 1: like I'm seeing this work monitor here and like if 521 00:24:19,908 --> 00:24:23,388 Speaker 1: I'm if I'm Nick Bosa, I'm like, yeah, who you 522 00:24:23,508 --> 00:24:25,868 Speaker 1: swim the vert monitor. He's just swam the verba. That's 523 00:24:25,908 --> 00:24:27,148 Speaker 1: just that's what you have to deal with. If you're 524 00:24:27,348 --> 00:24:29,868 Speaker 1: you would have got blocked. Yeah, I mean I'm not 525 00:24:30,348 --> 00:24:39,188 Speaker 1: pretty good swim. Is that is any other move there? Peters? Yeah, 526 00:24:40,908 --> 00:24:43,548 Speaker 1: classically he does that move around the facility. He does ya. 527 00:24:43,748 --> 00:24:46,188 Speaker 1: That's amazing. Um. I have a friend who everywhere it's 528 00:24:46,228 --> 00:24:48,108 Speaker 1: really obnoxious. Everywhere we go, he just like he's doing 529 00:24:48,148 --> 00:24:51,388 Speaker 1: his golf swing. Is that bos with like the swim 530 00:24:55,308 --> 00:24:58,308 Speaker 1: guys at him a little bit, you know, and you're 531 00:24:58,348 --> 00:25:03,468 Speaker 1: like backing down. I hate golf guys. An all right, Uh, 532 00:25:03,988 --> 00:25:07,188 Speaker 1: Chiefs Offense Jets defense has been really good. Nothing the 533 00:25:07,268 --> 00:25:09,228 Speaker 1: most dominant. But there is a common thread here with 534 00:25:09,388 --> 00:25:13,108 Speaker 1: like Robert Sala, but Jets offense has been hideous all 535 00:25:13,188 --> 00:25:15,668 Speaker 1: season until last week and they were winning football games 536 00:25:15,748 --> 00:25:18,668 Speaker 1: and the Jets defense, so to me, the most dominant 537 00:25:18,788 --> 00:25:21,108 Speaker 1: unit and the scariest unit, of course is the Niners. 538 00:25:21,588 --> 00:25:23,668 Speaker 1: But if anyone has gone up against the Jets defense, 539 00:25:23,708 --> 00:25:26,148 Speaker 1: the thing afterwards like they're so physical, they're so good. 540 00:25:26,428 --> 00:25:28,388 Speaker 1: They don't have the wins, they don't have the numbers 541 00:25:28,428 --> 00:25:32,868 Speaker 1: and the explosive plays the Jets defense this week big game, obviously, 542 00:25:33,228 --> 00:25:39,748 Speaker 1: see what happens typical Monday in New England. The captains 543 00:25:39,748 --> 00:25:42,388 Speaker 1: speak at the podium. Devin mccordy, your brother got to 544 00:25:42,428 --> 00:25:45,428 Speaker 1: speak and you got an unexpected visitor with a bit 545 00:25:45,468 --> 00:25:50,068 Speaker 1: of a surprise to take a watch. What's going on here? 546 00:25:50,228 --> 00:25:57,988 Speaker 1: How are you hurt? You know, we don't usually give 547 00:25:58,148 --> 00:26:05,268 Speaker 1: personal lotting to anyone, but special achieving them, made by 548 00:26:05,428 --> 00:26:13,268 Speaker 1: special people, deserve special recognition. And on Thursday night, Devin 549 00:26:13,388 --> 00:26:18,788 Speaker 1: mccordy will appear in his two hundredth NFL game. He 550 00:26:18,988 --> 00:26:24,268 Speaker 1: started every game he has appeared in, he has started 551 00:26:24,508 --> 00:26:27,948 Speaker 1: for the last thirteen years. So I want to be 552 00:26:28,068 --> 00:26:36,068 Speaker 1: the first to congratulate you. He's ever played two hundred games. 553 00:26:36,188 --> 00:26:38,948 Speaker 1: He gets a mural of himself, a collage of all 554 00:26:38,948 --> 00:26:41,788 Speaker 1: two hundred games, moments and pictures. Pretty cool moment for him. 555 00:26:41,788 --> 00:26:45,348 Speaker 1: What was your reaction? All's awesome. This guy has started 556 00:26:45,388 --> 00:26:47,948 Speaker 1: in every single game he's played in. I remember a 557 00:26:48,068 --> 00:26:50,428 Speaker 1: few weeks ago the PR team hit me up and 558 00:26:50,468 --> 00:26:52,068 Speaker 1: I was like, wow, is it two hundred stars or 559 00:26:52,068 --> 00:26:54,628 Speaker 1: two hundred games? And they coincide with each other? Very 560 00:26:54,668 --> 00:26:56,868 Speaker 1: special for him, I joked on Twitter.
