Oh welcome to Good Morning Football, present 3 00:00:26,668 --> 00:00:28,788 Speaker 1: of my old Chapper Beef Jerky. We're live here in 4 00:00:28,788 --> 00:00:32,388 Speaker 1: New York City, Happy day after Thanksgiving. It's Friday and whenever, 5 00:00:32,508 --> 00:00:35,628 Speaker 1: twenty five. I'm Jamie Yurdolf's Kyle Brent, Peter Schrager, Jason mccordy. 6 00:00:35,668 --> 00:00:37,868 Speaker 1: We're here, we ate, we stuff, we face this d 7 00:00:38,228 --> 00:00:41,908 Speaker 1: we watch a lot of How to Feel. Last night 8 00:00:41,948 --> 00:00:44,308 Speaker 1: around second half, we've already had a full marathon. Their 9 00:00:44,388 --> 00:00:47,468 Speaker 1: first Thanksgiving home as a non player. However, it felt fine. 10 00:00:47,828 --> 00:00:50,668 Speaker 1: I had a bottle of wine myself, so yeah, I 11 00:00:50,788 --> 00:00:53,548 Speaker 1: enjoyed it. Don't have practice today. I said, yes, it's feeling, 12 00:00:53,828 --> 00:00:55,988 Speaker 1: but I was up late and I'm here early with 13 00:00:56,068 --> 00:00:58,508 Speaker 1: you guys. It seemed very un I want to say 14 00:00:58,628 --> 00:01:00,948 Speaker 1: great about that. But we're here. We're gonna have a blast. 15 00:01:01,148 --> 00:01:03,388 Speaker 1: Let's do it. That's great. Who had the better day 16 00:01:03,388 --> 00:01:08,548 Speaker 1: of the two? Mccordy's. Let's find out. Let's go to Minneapolis, Minnesota, 17 00:01:08,628 --> 00:01:12,948 Speaker 1: where the Patriots visited the Viking. Highly hyped game. Mac 18 00:01:12,988 --> 00:01:15,228 Speaker 1: Jones put up big numbers in this game, but they lost. 19 00:01:15,348 --> 00:01:18,148 Speaker 1: How about that former player and coach Kevin O'Connell, a 20 00:01:18,148 --> 00:01:19,908 Speaker 1: third round pickback in O. Eight and just shakes his 21 00:01:19,948 --> 00:01:21,428 Speaker 1: hand of his former head coach. Is pretty cool. The 22 00:01:21,508 --> 00:01:24,468 Speaker 1: Vikings win thirty three to twenty six. For the Vikings 23 00:01:24,468 --> 00:01:27,028 Speaker 1: after a brutal outing against Dallas last week, but they 24 00:01:27,068 --> 00:01:29,388 Speaker 1: made their Thanksgiving worth it. Jason, would you think about 25 00:01:29,388 --> 00:01:31,428 Speaker 1: the Purple They played really well, But I think on 26 00:01:31,468 --> 00:01:33,788 Speaker 1: top of that, when you get ready and Tony Dungee 27 00:01:33,788 --> 00:01:35,828 Speaker 1: and Jason Garrett, they talked about it all night. When 28 00:01:35,868 --> 00:01:38,428 Speaker 1: you're going against a Bill Belichick defense, he usually makes 29 00:01:38,428 --> 00:01:40,908 Speaker 1: you play with one arm top behind your back because 30 00:01:40,908 --> 00:01:44,028 Speaker 1: he takes away your most dangerous threat. And we all 31 00:01:44,068 --> 00:01:47,228 Speaker 1: know for the Vikings, Justin Jefferson is the guy. So 32 00:01:47,308 --> 00:01:49,268 Speaker 1: going into the game, I'm just like they're gonna double 33 00:01:49,348 --> 00:01:51,308 Speaker 1: him for a majority of the night. They're not going 34 00:01:51,348 --> 00:01:54,268 Speaker 1: to allow him to get loose. That was not the case, 35 00:01:54,268 --> 00:01:56,268 Speaker 1: and Jefferson said in the beginning of the season he 36 00:01:56,428 --> 00:01:58,788 Speaker 1: understood how Cooper cut was able to have so much 37 00:01:58,788 --> 00:02:01,708 Speaker 1: success in Kevin O'Connell's offense. He moves around, he gains 38 00:02:01,708 --> 00:02:05,988 Speaker 1: the ball, eleven targets, nine catches, one hundred and thirty 39 00:02:06,148 --> 00:02:09,548 Speaker 1: nine yards, but I was more surprised the Patriots doubled 40 00:02:09,628 --> 00:02:11,828 Speaker 1: him a little bit on third down. The Patriots had 41 00:02:11,868 --> 00:02:16,028 Speaker 1: three defenders following Justin Jefferson as he's going across the field, 42 00:02:16,068 --> 00:02:18,508 Speaker 1: which left feeling one on one with Jalen Mills and 43 00:02:18,508 --> 00:02:20,828 Speaker 1: he makes the catch. But the Patriots doubled him a 44 00:02:20,828 --> 00:02:22,668 Speaker 1: few times on third down, but a lot of it 45 00:02:22,708 --> 00:02:25,268 Speaker 1: was one on one coverage. And you just cannot play 46 00:02:25,348 --> 00:02:27,828 Speaker 1: Justin Jefferson that way. And he showed it last night. 47 00:02:27,868 --> 00:02:29,748 Speaker 1: If you leave me one on one, Kirk Cousin is 48 00:02:29,788 --> 00:02:32,428 Speaker 1: gonna give him an opportunity and he's gonna make play, 49 00:02:32,548 --> 00:02:34,468 Speaker 1: have to play and kill you. And he did that 50 00:02:34,628 --> 00:02:37,028 Speaker 1: last night. It was a bizarre game in a lot 51 00:02:37,028 --> 00:02:40,468 Speaker 1: of ways. I'm watching the Patriots defense and special teams 52 00:02:40,588 --> 00:02:42,668 Speaker 1: held the Jets to three points last week. They won 53 00:02:42,708 --> 00:02:44,548 Speaker 1: it on the Marcus Jones punt return, and then you 54 00:02:44,588 --> 00:02:46,828 Speaker 1: fast forward three days, you're like, all right, Kevin O'Connell, 55 00:02:46,828 --> 00:02:50,108 Speaker 1: first year coach, hasn't really been through the adversity yet. 56 00:02:50,268 --> 00:02:52,948 Speaker 1: Short week. Then you got Bill Belichick who's sitting there like, 57 00:02:53,028 --> 00:02:54,948 Speaker 1: h what do you got for me? And early on 58 00:02:54,988 --> 00:02:58,268 Speaker 1: Patriots are rolling defense and special teams killed the Patriots 59 00:02:58,348 --> 00:02:59,948 Speaker 1: last night. If you're watching this game and you're looking 60 00:02:59,948 --> 00:03:01,468 Speaker 1: at it, you're like, well, talk about the catch, talk 61 00:03:01,508 --> 00:03:03,828 Speaker 1: about the play with Henter Henry. Patriots gave this game 62 00:03:03,828 --> 00:03:05,428 Speaker 1: away in a lot of ways. I know a lot 63 00:03:05,428 --> 00:03:07,668 Speaker 1: of Pattersons thought that number thirty C. J. Hamm had 64 00:03:07,668 --> 00:03:09,788 Speaker 1: a hold on this return. You're not going to get 65 00:03:09,828 --> 00:03:12,828 Speaker 1: that necessarily. It didn't happen. Then Pierre Strong, who's the player, 66 00:03:12,868 --> 00:03:14,948 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, not Marcus Jones. We said Pierre Strong is 67 00:03:14,988 --> 00:03:17,348 Speaker 1: the one who had the roughing the punter at the 68 00:03:17,428 --> 00:03:19,388 Speaker 1: end of the game. And if they had just stayed 69 00:03:19,388 --> 00:03:21,908 Speaker 1: away completely and not even gone near the punter, you 70 00:03:21,908 --> 00:03:24,188 Speaker 1: get Mac Jones a chance. Instead, the Vikings get a 71 00:03:24,188 --> 00:03:26,908 Speaker 1: game winning touchdown. I thought Mac played well. I thought 72 00:03:26,908 --> 00:03:28,668 Speaker 1: that a lot of the offensive players we haven't seen 73 00:03:28,748 --> 00:03:32,708 Speaker 1: much from Hunter, Henry Agilore, they played well. Patriots special 74 00:03:32,708 --> 00:03:34,748 Speaker 1: teams in defense to me, lost this game. And yes, 75 00:03:34,788 --> 00:03:36,668 Speaker 1: the Vikings deserve a pat in the back, and they 76 00:03:36,708 --> 00:03:37,988 Speaker 1: got off the mat and all that, and we'll do 77 00:03:38,028 --> 00:03:40,348 Speaker 1: all that today, I promise you. But for the Patriots, 78 00:03:40,388 --> 00:03:43,468 Speaker 1: you now have four games left against AFC teams where 79 00:03:43,468 --> 00:03:46,588 Speaker 1: it's two against Buffalo, one against Miami, and one against Cincinnati. 80 00:03:47,188 --> 00:03:49,828 Speaker 1: Those are all must wins. Now. They haven't played well 81 00:03:49,868 --> 00:03:52,428 Speaker 1: against good quarterback. They have not played good. But you 82 00:03:52,468 --> 00:03:54,788 Speaker 1: know what, I haven't played that bad all season. I 83 00:03:54,788 --> 00:03:57,428 Speaker 1: haven't seen that. That was something. Defense couldn't stop Cousins. 84 00:03:57,428 --> 00:03:59,508 Speaker 1: And then the special teams was a complete non factor. 85 00:03:59,508 --> 00:04:01,748 Speaker 1: If anything, it was a huge negative. Yesterday I yelled 86 00:04:01,748 --> 00:04:04,628 Speaker 1: at my son yesterday, really loud, why being a jerk, 87 00:04:04,788 --> 00:04:07,468 Speaker 1: not listening, terrible attitude. He left me no choice, like 88 00:04:07,468 --> 00:04:08,908 Speaker 1: I tried, and I tried, and I tried. It was 89 00:04:08,988 --> 00:04:11,148 Speaker 1: on the front yard. I just screamed down. I didn't 90 00:04:11,148 --> 00:04:13,228 Speaker 1: I didn't relaship, but he left me no choice. And 91 00:04:13,388 --> 00:04:15,428 Speaker 1: I just look at the vikings I said last week, 92 00:04:15,468 --> 00:04:16,628 Speaker 1: I don't want to talk to you. I don't look 93 00:04:16,628 --> 00:04:17,948 Speaker 1: at you. Go to your room, get out of here. 94 00:04:17,948 --> 00:04:20,068 Speaker 1: You disappointed me so badly. I love you. I'm not mad, 95 00:04:20,068 --> 00:04:22,308 Speaker 1: but I'm disappointed. And then I feel like yesterday, like 96 00:04:22,348 --> 00:04:24,348 Speaker 1: you hear their door open, you know, they're up in 97 00:04:24,348 --> 00:04:27,588 Speaker 1: their room and they're like Dad, you know, like they're 98 00:04:27,628 --> 00:04:30,548 Speaker 1: like they're back here in the room, they're over and 99 00:04:30,668 --> 00:04:34,788 Speaker 1: you hear that door open dawn, Yeah, and they come 100 00:04:34,828 --> 00:04:37,028 Speaker 1: down and they like they got a letter, they wrote 101 00:04:37,028 --> 00:04:40,708 Speaker 1: a letter. I thought about what I did wrong? All right, 102 00:04:40,828 --> 00:04:44,028 Speaker 1: sit down, sit down, you gotta drink. Sit down, and 103 00:04:44,068 --> 00:04:46,348 Speaker 1: it's like, I know what I did wrong against the 104 00:04:46,388 --> 00:04:50,188 Speaker 1: Cowboys was not acceptable, and I promise it will never 105 00:04:50,308 --> 00:04:52,908 Speaker 1: happen again. I guess I love you. I love you. 106 00:04:52,948 --> 00:04:55,148 Speaker 1: Get over here, I love your kid, and I do 107 00:04:55,268 --> 00:04:58,748 Speaker 1: love the Vikings. And then I was listen, the headline here, guys, 108 00:04:58,868 --> 00:05:01,748 Speaker 1: is that the Vikings won a game in primetime against 109 00:05:01,748 --> 00:05:05,828 Speaker 1: Bill Belichick, and Kirk Cousins won. And I almost swore 110 00:05:06,148 --> 00:05:08,788 Speaker 1: everything Justin Jefferson does is not because Justin Jefferson is 111 00:05:08,788 --> 00:05:11,228 Speaker 1: the greatest player ever. Sometimes the ball is really well placed, 112 00:05:11,588 --> 00:05:14,588 Speaker 1: nobody can ever mention because I was like, oh my god, Jefferson, Jefferson, 113 00:05:14,828 --> 00:05:17,108 Speaker 1: he played well last night. He didn't play perfect. He 114 00:05:17,188 --> 00:05:19,908 Speaker 1: beat Bill Belichick in primetime and a national holiday, and 115 00:05:19,908 --> 00:05:21,948 Speaker 1: it's like, those are the rules, guys. If you want 116 00:05:21,948 --> 00:05:23,308 Speaker 1: to make fun of him when he can't do it, 117 00:05:23,348 --> 00:05:25,348 Speaker 1: you have to at least take two seconds to say, 118 00:05:25,468 --> 00:05:27,748 Speaker 1: you know what, Kirk, good job, man, really good job. 119 00:05:27,908 --> 00:05:30,508 Speaker 1: You guys needed that can he got that one? Never 120 00:05:30,548 --> 00:05:34,588 Speaker 1: mind the Cats Peter about the Cats fine cousins. He 121 00:05:34,708 --> 00:05:37,148 Speaker 1: was a great throw by Cousins. I'm really I'm happy 122 00:05:37,188 --> 00:05:39,028 Speaker 1: for the Vikings. They needed that really bad and they 123 00:05:39,028 --> 00:05:40,908 Speaker 1: got it at home and they're eating the turkey leg 124 00:05:41,068 --> 00:05:43,428 Speaker 1: not somebody else. I'm played with them. They're back in 125 00:05:43,468 --> 00:05:44,948 Speaker 1: good grace as you can play with your toys. I'm 126 00:05:44,988 --> 00:05:46,748 Speaker 1: very pleased, welcome back. I was a little hard on you, 127 00:05:46,868 --> 00:05:48,428 Speaker 1: That's okay. What about Calvin? Is he back in your 128 00:05:48,468 --> 00:05:51,548 Speaker 1: good graces? Two seconds later we're hugging where he's Sharon Pie. 129 00:05:51,668 --> 00:05:53,228 Speaker 1: I love the kids so much, but he pushed me 130 00:05:53,308 --> 00:05:56,628 Speaker 1: absolutely fish for any for any fan of any team, 131 00:05:56,628 --> 00:05:58,828 Speaker 1: Like if you want just to make sure every day 132 00:05:58,828 --> 00:06:01,788 Speaker 1: you have like this positive spin and dose on your team, 133 00:06:01,988 --> 00:06:04,268 Speaker 1: just make sure go to Twitter and follow your team's community. 134 00:06:04,388 --> 00:06:07,708 Speaker 1: Asians team like Vikings pr they just throw a stat 135 00:06:07,788 --> 00:06:12,508 Speaker 1: after stat, like TJ Hockinson, this history book Jackson Jefferson. 136 00:06:12,508 --> 00:06:14,828 Speaker 1: Now he's matching Adam Feeling with his number of catches 137 00:06:14,868 --> 00:06:16,828 Speaker 1: so far, and it's like that's just such a healthy 138 00:06:16,868 --> 00:06:19,348 Speaker 1: dose and I really appreciate that. But there is the 139 00:06:19,468 --> 00:06:22,348 Speaker 1: catch twenty two here, which is giving up twenty six 140 00:06:22,388 --> 00:06:25,348 Speaker 1: points to the new England Patriots team. Vikings offense looks spectacular. 141 00:06:25,428 --> 00:06:27,668 Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins played awesome. One of my friends, Phil Mathew, 142 00:06:27,668 --> 00:06:29,628 Speaker 1: who covers the team like he's got this whole Kirko 143 00:06:29,748 --> 00:06:32,868 Speaker 1: Chains thing going, which, like Kirk Cousins arrived at the stadium, 144 00:06:32,908 --> 00:06:35,268 Speaker 1: went into the locker room at halftime, second half, Kirko 145 00:06:35,388 --> 00:06:37,908 Speaker 1: Chains came out and then really spun the Vikings offense 146 00:06:37,948 --> 00:06:39,748 Speaker 1: in a different direction. But I got to focus on 147 00:06:39,788 --> 00:06:42,868 Speaker 1: the defense because I have a tepid optimism for the 148 00:06:42,948 --> 00:06:46,308 Speaker 1: Vikings coming after this game, which is I don't forget 149 00:06:46,628 --> 00:06:48,708 Speaker 1: maybe Kyle does, but I don't forget the fact that 150 00:06:48,748 --> 00:06:51,068 Speaker 1: they gave up thirty points at the Cowboys last week. 151 00:06:51,068 --> 00:06:53,148 Speaker 1: In fact, the Vikings defense, if you want to be 152 00:06:53,188 --> 00:06:55,548 Speaker 1: a team that we are taking seriously in January, because 153 00:06:55,588 --> 00:06:59,468 Speaker 1: you can't just be your grandmother's Vikings team, We're like, congratulations. 154 00:06:59,588 --> 00:07:02,228 Speaker 1: You want to Thanksgiving because that is the Vikings of 155 00:07:02,228 --> 00:07:04,468 Speaker 1: the past. Do you want to change your tune? You 156 00:07:04,508 --> 00:07:06,708 Speaker 1: want to change how people view you in primetime? You 157 00:07:06,748 --> 00:07:08,868 Speaker 1: can't just win on Thanksgiving in primetime. You gotta win 158 00:07:08,868 --> 00:07:12,228 Speaker 1: on primetime in January. So defense figure things out, props 159 00:07:12,308 --> 00:07:15,028 Speaker 1: the offense and Kirk Cousins justin Jefferson. But like it's 160 00:07:15,068 --> 00:07:17,908 Speaker 1: been a challenging I'm not gonna say rough challenging last 161 00:07:17,908 --> 00:07:20,268 Speaker 1: couple of weeks. I think if there is a place 162 00:07:20,308 --> 00:07:23,428 Speaker 1: of improvements, it would be the Vikings defense. Final drive, 163 00:07:23,748 --> 00:07:26,268 Speaker 1: mac Jones is there, let's go. Vikings defense puts the 164 00:07:26,308 --> 00:07:28,228 Speaker 1: claims down. Isn't that what you need? Yeah, but the 165 00:07:28,428 --> 00:07:30,468 Speaker 1: Vikings fans are so tough to please. I don't want to. 166 00:07:30,548 --> 00:07:32,308 Speaker 1: I want to. I want to see them and be 167 00:07:32,388 --> 00:07:34,628 Speaker 1: pleased by them in January, that's all. And like I 168 00:07:34,708 --> 00:07:36,588 Speaker 1: know it's not sustainable to be like that, but they 169 00:07:36,588 --> 00:07:39,548 Speaker 1: had been playing like even keeled football on both sides 170 00:07:39,628 --> 00:07:41,228 Speaker 1: the ball up until the last three weeks, and the 171 00:07:41,228 --> 00:07:43,948 Speaker 1: defense has been really challenged. So mac Jones had a 172 00:07:43,988 --> 00:07:46,068 Speaker 1: great game, but like, can you imagine if Hunter Henry 173 00:07:46,148 --> 00:07:47,788 Speaker 1: was eating the turkey leg in their stadium? Is to 174 00:07:47,788 --> 00:07:50,108 Speaker 1: come on, right, and we're not that far off from it, 175 00:07:50,588 --> 00:07:52,428 Speaker 1: not that far off. But they didn't have it. They 176 00:07:52,428 --> 00:07:55,908 Speaker 1: did not. Josh Allen, he's two and oh going into 177 00:07:55,948 --> 00:07:58,188 Speaker 1: Thanksgiving Day games. He's got looking to go to a 178 00:07:58,308 --> 00:08:02,348 Speaker 1: three and oz. Two wins in five days in ford Field, 179 00:08:02,348 --> 00:08:05,588 Speaker 1: a bizarre stat a bizarre season, and yet they find 180 00:08:05,748 --> 00:08:08,348 Speaker 1: their way into the win column. A lot of questions 181 00:08:08,348 --> 00:08:11,148 Speaker 1: about Dan Campbell's clock management at the end of this game, 182 00:08:11,468 --> 00:08:15,948 Speaker 1: no questions about Josh Allen's performance, and also, unfortunately, not 183 00:08:16,108 --> 00:08:19,188 Speaker 1: such great news about von Miller. Jamie take it away well, 184 00:08:19,188 --> 00:08:21,548 Speaker 1: Ian Rapport is going to join us now because it's 185 00:08:21,588 --> 00:08:24,988 Speaker 1: a big name. It's a heavy presence being carted off 186 00:08:24,988 --> 00:08:27,268 Speaker 1: the field. I'm Thanksgiving, as Peter said, not a site 187 00:08:27,268 --> 00:08:28,988 Speaker 1: you want to see. What is the news about von 188 00:08:29,028 --> 00:08:31,468 Speaker 1: Miller this morning as we wake up with some Thanksgiving 189 00:08:31,588 --> 00:08:34,148 Speaker 1: turkey hangover. Ian. Yeah. For the Buffalo Bills. There was 190 00:08:34,188 --> 00:08:36,708 Speaker 1: a lot to like today, a lot of like yesterday, 191 00:08:36,708 --> 00:08:39,388 Speaker 1: a lot of optimism, but certainly the von Miller potential 192 00:08:39,428 --> 00:08:42,268 Speaker 1: injury really hovered over everything and it seemed clouded some 193 00:08:42,308 --> 00:08:44,508 Speaker 1: of the optimism. First of all, here's what we know. 194 00:08:44,628 --> 00:08:47,748 Speaker 1: Based on the initial exam. It was diagnosed as a 195 00:08:47,868 --> 00:08:51,068 Speaker 1: knee sprain. So heading into the MRI today, the belief 196 00:08:51,148 --> 00:08:53,428 Speaker 1: is that von Miller has a sprain knee, which if 197 00:08:53,428 --> 00:08:55,868 Speaker 1: the MRI holds. If the MRI I confirms that, that 198 00:08:55,868 --> 00:08:58,628 Speaker 1: would be very good news. He is expected to miss 199 00:08:58,668 --> 00:09:01,148 Speaker 1: some time, which is not great news, but considered they 200 00:09:01,188 --> 00:09:03,268 Speaker 1: have more than a month a half to go until 201 00:09:03,308 --> 00:09:05,388 Speaker 1: the season. There's the old card. They have eighty one 202 00:09:05,468 --> 00:09:07,268 Speaker 1: days until the super Bowl. This is a team that 203 00:09:07,308 --> 00:09:10,748 Speaker 1: has Shirley super Bowl aspiration. So von Miller does have 204 00:09:10,828 --> 00:09:13,468 Speaker 1: to miss some time, which again is expected, and is 205 00:09:13,508 --> 00:09:15,788 Speaker 1: able to come back, that would be okay. The real 206 00:09:15,868 --> 00:09:18,628 Speaker 1: worry here is that there's something worse and no one 207 00:09:18,708 --> 00:09:20,508 Speaker 1: is going to know until the MRI. And again the 208 00:09:20,548 --> 00:09:23,348 Speaker 1: initial exam is that it was a nice sprain, but 209 00:09:23,388 --> 00:09:26,988 Speaker 1: there is some fear, some worry from those involved that 210 00:09:27,028 --> 00:09:29,428 Speaker 1: the MRI I could show something worse. We have seen 211 00:09:29,468 --> 00:09:31,108 Speaker 1: that happen where they think it's one thing on the 212 00:09:31,148 --> 00:09:33,828 Speaker 1: initial and the MRI shows something different. So a lot 213 00:09:33,868 --> 00:09:36,748 Speaker 1: of fingers crossed in Buffalo on the very very important 214 00:09:36,788 --> 00:09:39,188 Speaker 1: test that von Miller is going to have later today. 215 00:09:39,388 --> 00:09:41,748 Speaker 1: All right, Ian, thank you very much. Again a reminder 216 00:09:41,748 --> 00:09:44,068 Speaker 1: of the Bills. They're coming off a very strange travel 217 00:09:44,228 --> 00:09:46,388 Speaker 1: in game schedule week and now they have three games 218 00:09:46,388 --> 00:09:49,508 Speaker 1: straight within the division. Jason, I'll start with you von Miller, 219 00:09:49,588 --> 00:09:52,668 Speaker 1: not only his impact within this defense, but the locker room, 220 00:09:52,748 --> 00:09:54,908 Speaker 1: his presence. I mean, how does the team handle something 221 00:09:54,948 --> 00:09:57,148 Speaker 1: like this? And how does from an X and O standpoint, 222 00:09:57,148 --> 00:09:59,588 Speaker 1: even it's tough, And I'll start with the emotion side 223 00:09:59,588 --> 00:10:01,388 Speaker 1: of it. When you're watching that game, you're on that 224 00:10:01,468 --> 00:10:03,468 Speaker 1: team and you watch von Miller on the back of 225 00:10:03,508 --> 00:10:05,828 Speaker 1: that car, like your line starts to go all type 226 00:10:05,828 --> 00:10:08,268 Speaker 1: of places. And from an NEXT and NO standpoint, of course, 227 00:10:08,308 --> 00:10:10,068 Speaker 1: he's one of the best pass rushers to be in 228 00:10:10,108 --> 00:10:12,148 Speaker 1: this game. So they're gonna miss him, but it's so 229 00:10:12,228 --> 00:10:14,268 Speaker 1: much bigger than that. He's a leader on the team, 230 00:10:14,348 --> 00:10:16,548 Speaker 1: and like Ian just talked about, if it's a nice frame, 231 00:10:16,708 --> 00:10:18,668 Speaker 1: they'll be okay. He'll have a few weeks off, he'll 232 00:10:18,668 --> 00:10:20,828 Speaker 1: be back, but his presence will still be felt. He'll 233 00:10:20,868 --> 00:10:22,708 Speaker 1: be in the building every single day. He'll be in 234 00:10:22,788 --> 00:10:25,068 Speaker 1: meetings every single day. The tough thing is when you 235 00:10:25,148 --> 00:10:27,788 Speaker 1: lose guys for seasons and the surgery, and it's a 236 00:10:27,828 --> 00:10:30,988 Speaker 1: whole role to recovery. Those guys aren't around. You don't 237 00:10:30,988 --> 00:10:33,188 Speaker 1: have their presence on the sideline, you don't have them 238 00:10:33,188 --> 00:10:35,948 Speaker 1: in the meeting room keeping everybody together. They don't blinks 239 00:10:35,988 --> 00:10:38,228 Speaker 1: and those sayings that go on and on throughout the 240 00:10:38,228 --> 00:10:39,988 Speaker 1: course of a game, so they're gonna have to adjust. 241 00:10:40,028 --> 00:10:41,748 Speaker 1: I Von Dick said after the game, like, we have 242 00:10:41,828 --> 00:10:44,668 Speaker 1: to just roll with the punches, and that's an NFL season. 243 00:10:44,828 --> 00:10:47,548 Speaker 1: Good teams figure it out. They find ways to make 244 00:10:47,628 --> 00:10:50,228 Speaker 1: moves and do different things to replace guys and keep 245 00:10:50,228 --> 00:10:52,188 Speaker 1: it going. But a guy like von Miller, I mean, 246 00:10:52,188 --> 00:10:54,108 Speaker 1: we saw the impact yeah last year with the Rams, 247 00:10:54,148 --> 00:10:55,748 Speaker 1: and what he's done so far with the Bills this 248 00:10:55,828 --> 00:10:57,948 Speaker 1: year is you can't replace him. He's also been the 249 00:10:57,988 --> 00:10:59,708 Speaker 1: closer for them. In the game against the Chiefs, it 250 00:10:59,708 --> 00:11:01,788 Speaker 1: was von Miller who made the big play. In other games, 251 00:11:01,788 --> 00:11:03,948 Speaker 1: it's von Miller in the fourth quarter making the big play. 252 00:11:03,988 --> 00:11:06,348 Speaker 1: So on the field it's a huge deal too, But 253 00:11:06,588 --> 00:11:09,188 Speaker 1: you know, the leadership stuff is all very real and 254 00:11:09,268 --> 00:11:11,148 Speaker 1: very tangible. You hear from the Bills players all the time. 255 00:11:11,188 --> 00:11:12,428 Speaker 1: But I think he is one of the best pass 256 00:11:12,468 --> 00:11:14,108 Speaker 1: rushers in the game. And he's also in those big 257 00:11:14,148 --> 00:11:16,308 Speaker 1: spots in the fourth quarter, one of the clutchest players. 258 00:11:16,308 --> 00:11:18,628 Speaker 1: So this has been such a roller coaster season for 259 00:11:18,628 --> 00:11:21,228 Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills. They've been through so much adversity going 260 00:11:21,268 --> 00:11:23,188 Speaker 1: back to the summer. I think this is just another thing. 261 00:11:23,188 --> 00:11:24,788 Speaker 1: And when you win these Super Bowls at the end 262 00:11:24,828 --> 00:11:27,188 Speaker 1: of it, you look back and say yeah, and remember Thanksgiving, 263 00:11:27,228 --> 00:11:29,228 Speaker 1: we lost Von Miller and we overcame. If anything, they 264 00:11:29,228 --> 00:11:30,988 Speaker 1: need to rally around each other and rally around him. 265 00:11:31,068 --> 00:11:33,028 Speaker 1: He's the Obi wan Kenobi of the team too, Like 266 00:11:33,108 --> 00:11:35,268 Speaker 1: they look at him as this wise two times super 267 00:11:35,308 --> 00:11:37,068 Speaker 1: Bowl winner when they don't have that on the team. 268 00:11:37,108 --> 00:11:38,908 Speaker 1: Bond has this thing he's done all season where he 269 00:11:38,988 --> 00:11:40,948 Speaker 1: looks at every week on the schedule like a track 270 00:11:40,948 --> 00:11:43,388 Speaker 1: on an album, and they make a metaphor out of it, 271 00:11:43,388 --> 00:11:45,308 Speaker 1: and they look at him and remember they lost two 272 00:11:45,308 --> 00:11:46,588 Speaker 1: in a row. They lost to the Jets, and they 273 00:11:46,588 --> 00:11:48,788 Speaker 1: had lost that crazy game of the Vikings, and Von 274 00:11:48,868 --> 00:11:51,828 Speaker 1: afterwards was like, guys, we're six and three fine, Like 275 00:11:51,908 --> 00:11:53,588 Speaker 1: we're fine, they've won two in a row. Since I 276 00:11:53,588 --> 00:11:56,548 Speaker 1: think Bond himself would say about the Bond injury, guys, 277 00:11:56,788 --> 00:11:58,788 Speaker 1: we're fine. We're eight in three. We're gonna be okay. 278 00:11:58,908 --> 00:12:00,828 Speaker 1: Plus like we're talking right now, like he's out for 279 00:12:00,828 --> 00:12:02,668 Speaker 1: the season, Like it's a nice brand. We'll find out, 280 00:12:02,708 --> 00:12:04,828 Speaker 1: like maybe he misses a few weeks, maybe miss a month, 281 00:12:04,868 --> 00:12:06,748 Speaker 1: Maybe they get him back, we don't know. Have a 282 00:12:06,788 --> 00:12:09,068 Speaker 1: week they have a week before they face the Patriots, 283 00:12:09,108 --> 00:12:11,908 Speaker 1: And yeah, I can't speak to like from a game 284 00:12:11,988 --> 00:12:14,388 Speaker 1: planning perspective, you know, like in those coaches, you're just 285 00:12:14,388 --> 00:12:15,628 Speaker 1: going to have to rely on the fact that they 286 00:12:15,628 --> 00:12:17,348 Speaker 1: can shore things up over the next week. But I 287 00:12:17,388 --> 00:12:20,548 Speaker 1: find these divisional games way heavy on the Bills, considering 288 00:12:20,588 --> 00:12:22,988 Speaker 1: that they lost to the Dolphins earlier this season. But 289 00:12:23,108 --> 00:12:24,508 Speaker 1: I think a lot of maturity is going to have 290 00:12:24,548 --> 00:12:26,028 Speaker 1: to be stone together by a lot of other guys 291 00:12:26,028 --> 00:12:27,868 Speaker 1: on this team now. And you're hoping that thus far 292 00:12:28,068 --> 00:12:29,748 Speaker 1: von Miller has kind of shown them the way because 293 00:12:29,788 --> 00:12:31,068 Speaker 1: he can be present in the locker room, he can 294 00:12:31,108 --> 00:12:32,628 Speaker 1: be present on the sidelines. But like you need a 295 00:12:32,628 --> 00:12:35,148 Speaker 1: guy that's on the field when you're between the hashes 296 00:12:35,268 --> 00:12:37,228 Speaker 1: yelling at each other, who's going to become that guy 297 00:12:37,268 --> 00:12:40,028 Speaker 1: to lift each other up? Von Miller himself will probably say, guys, 298 00:12:40,108 --> 00:12:43,268 Speaker 1: chill everybody, you're fine, We'll figure it out. That's what 299 00:12:43,388 --> 00:12:47,188 Speaker 1: yesterday is about. You with family. You're having fun, having 300 00:12:47,228 --> 00:12:51,748 Speaker 1: a good time. Cowboys Giants. Cowboys were chilling. They're in Dallas, 301 00:12:52,148 --> 00:12:55,388 Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys figuring out a way to gain. They beat 302 00:12:55,428 --> 00:12:58,508 Speaker 1: the Giants twenty eight to twenty. The Cowboys are a 303 00:12:58,588 --> 00:13:01,188 Speaker 1: nice little Thanksgiving tree. Yesterday. They have some big holiday 304 00:13:01,228 --> 00:13:04,708 Speaker 1: games coming up this season. But takeaways from a Porton 305 00:13:04,788 --> 00:13:08,028 Speaker 1: divisional win over the Giants. Peter Dak threw two interceptions 306 00:13:08,028 --> 00:13:10,508 Speaker 1: early and party is watching this like all right, like 307 00:13:10,588 --> 00:13:12,228 Speaker 1: what is this team? Man? I don't know what to 308 00:13:12,348 --> 00:13:14,828 Speaker 1: believe because the Vikings game, they're on fire and then 309 00:13:14,868 --> 00:13:16,868 Speaker 1: they come out of the gates slow and then Dak 310 00:13:16,948 --> 00:13:18,628 Speaker 1: just gets it going and gets it going. And I 311 00:13:18,668 --> 00:13:21,068 Speaker 1: saw Aaron Andrews was interviewing Dak Prescott after the game, 312 00:13:21,108 --> 00:13:23,188 Speaker 1: and you know, he gets the Madden Game Player of 313 00:13:23,228 --> 00:13:24,388 Speaker 1: the Game, and a lot of people were like, wait, 314 00:13:24,508 --> 00:13:26,588 Speaker 1: he threw the two picks. That was really good. Yesterday 315 00:13:26,668 --> 00:13:29,108 Speaker 1: Dak was really good again, and he's always good against 316 00:13:29,108 --> 00:13:32,068 Speaker 1: the Giants. It is so rare to see one quarterback 317 00:13:32,108 --> 00:13:35,588 Speaker 1: just absolutely own another team. This is something. He's got 318 00:13:35,628 --> 00:13:38,388 Speaker 1: a ten game winning he lost his first two games 319 00:13:38,388 --> 00:13:41,388 Speaker 1: against the Giants. Of his career ten game winning streak 320 00:13:41,588 --> 00:13:45,668 Speaker 1: against the New York Giants. You're looking at names Stallback, Kilmer, 321 00:13:45,788 --> 00:13:49,148 Speaker 1: Joe Warski, the longest win streaks versus the Giants. It's 322 00:13:49,148 --> 00:13:50,708 Speaker 1: a real thing. And it's almost like he sees that 323 00:13:50,708 --> 00:13:53,108 Speaker 1: opposing uniform and he has no fear and he plays loose. 324 00:13:53,268 --> 00:13:55,708 Speaker 1: Even after two interceptions, He's able to find it and 325 00:13:55,708 --> 00:13:58,148 Speaker 1: get it together. I thought Dak was excellent yesterday when 326 00:13:58,148 --> 00:13:59,828 Speaker 1: it mattered, and that's what I want to see. I 327 00:13:59,828 --> 00:14:02,348 Speaker 1: don't care about the wins in October or September. I 328 00:14:02,348 --> 00:14:04,628 Speaker 1: don't care about the first quarterstats. How was back in 329 00:14:04,628 --> 00:14:06,788 Speaker 1: the second half. Dak was great in the second half, 330 00:14:06,948 --> 00:14:10,508 Speaker 1: finding City Lamb, finding Michael Gallup, having a real confidence. 331 00:14:10,508 --> 00:14:12,228 Speaker 1: He was the player of the game yesterday. It was 332 00:14:12,308 --> 00:14:14,428 Speaker 1: his game to win, and he did. I think that 333 00:14:14,428 --> 00:14:17,268 Speaker 1: that streak you're talking about is way more meaningful than 334 00:14:17,388 --> 00:14:20,348 Speaker 1: the Patriots over the Jets streak because that Patriots of 335 00:14:20,348 --> 00:14:22,788 Speaker 1: the Jet streak goes over many players and many coaches 336 00:14:22,788 --> 00:14:25,708 Speaker 1: in many airs. This is all now a lot of 337 00:14:25,708 --> 00:14:27,988 Speaker 1: these guys on the Giants I've been on that receiving 338 00:14:28,068 --> 00:14:29,868 Speaker 1: end of those losses from Dak like this is not 339 00:14:29,948 --> 00:14:32,548 Speaker 1: some guys before we got here that many in a row. 340 00:14:32,628 --> 00:14:34,668 Speaker 1: And I would just look at Daniel Jones back, man, 341 00:14:34,708 --> 00:14:36,908 Speaker 1: this was your day to do something about as exciting 342 00:14:36,948 --> 00:14:38,708 Speaker 1: as Dak was in the second half, Daniel Jones was 343 00:14:38,748 --> 00:14:40,788 Speaker 1: really deflating. And I don't take any pleasure day after 344 00:14:40,788 --> 00:14:43,628 Speaker 1: Thanksgiving me like come on, Daniel Jones, Come on, Daniel Jones. 345 00:14:43,628 --> 00:14:45,628 Speaker 1: That fourth and short, like that is the throw that 346 00:14:45,708 --> 00:14:47,628 Speaker 1: gets you to the playoffs or not. That's how you 347 00:14:47,748 --> 00:14:49,908 Speaker 1: end the streak. And sae Quon's right there and if 348 00:14:49,908 --> 00:14:52,428 Speaker 1: he catches it, he's down the sideline like not just 349 00:14:52,468 --> 00:14:55,268 Speaker 1: the first down, like he's off and running. And this 350 00:14:55,348 --> 00:14:57,948 Speaker 1: is how seasons come apart. You lose last week to 351 00:14:58,028 --> 00:14:59,668 Speaker 1: the Lions, and then you miss a throw on a 352 00:14:59,708 --> 00:15:01,508 Speaker 1: fourth and short to your best player and you just 353 00:15:01,588 --> 00:15:03,708 Speaker 1: have to hit. And Daniel Jones has had this great 354 00:15:03,708 --> 00:15:05,508 Speaker 1: season this year in the sense that like he's been 355 00:15:05,548 --> 00:15:07,508 Speaker 1: a cool story and people rode against him, and he's 356 00:15:07,548 --> 00:15:09,788 Speaker 1: bad last week, bad in the second half this week, 357 00:15:09,828 --> 00:15:12,428 Speaker 1: and like we were worried as a table, did the 358 00:15:12,428 --> 00:15:15,108 Speaker 1: balloon burst on this New York Giant season last week? 359 00:15:15,188 --> 00:15:17,068 Speaker 1: They showed up yesterday and they fought and they competed. 360 00:15:17,228 --> 00:15:18,748 Speaker 1: I just wanted to see a few more plays from 361 00:15:18,828 --> 00:15:21,108 Speaker 1: Daniel Jones, but Dak made them because that's what he does. 362 00:15:21,228 --> 00:15:23,108 Speaker 1: And if you're the Giants, you're Jones, You're like enough 363 00:15:23,108 --> 00:15:25,068 Speaker 1: of this, Dac. We have to break the streak. They couldn't. 364 00:15:25,108 --> 00:15:27,108 Speaker 1: They didn't, and I'm worried about the Giants moving forward. 365 00:15:27,148 --> 00:15:29,548 Speaker 1: It sucks. Yeah, it was like a game of two halves. 366 00:15:29,548 --> 00:15:31,788 Speaker 1: You look at like you said Dak throwing the two interceptions, 367 00:15:31,828 --> 00:15:33,908 Speaker 1: and you mentioned Michael Gallup. There was a few passes 368 00:15:33,948 --> 00:15:36,188 Speaker 1: to him where he was blanketed and he came down 369 00:15:36,228 --> 00:15:38,228 Speaker 1: with the ball. I felt like what sparked him a 370 00:15:38,268 --> 00:15:40,588 Speaker 1: little bit too in that second half was Ceedee Lamb 371 00:15:40,668 --> 00:15:42,868 Speaker 1: when you're making some of the catches that he was making, 372 00:15:43,028 --> 00:15:45,788 Speaker 1: the circus catches one hand coming down with the ball. 373 00:15:45,868 --> 00:15:47,908 Speaker 1: Had to reverse here early in the game. And there's 374 00:15:47,948 --> 00:15:50,948 Speaker 1: been so much Odell Beckham Junior taught throughout the last 375 00:15:50,988 --> 00:15:52,708 Speaker 1: few weeks, and yes they could use him. And I 376 00:15:52,748 --> 00:15:54,708 Speaker 1: felt like, Ceede Lamb yesterday it was just like, don't 377 00:15:54,748 --> 00:15:57,468 Speaker 1: forget about me. I'm the number one receiver on the team, 378 00:15:57,628 --> 00:15:59,708 Speaker 1: and I can be there and I can produce for 379 00:15:59,788 --> 00:16:02,388 Speaker 1: us weekend and week out. That one hand catch on 380 00:16:02,388 --> 00:16:04,748 Speaker 1: the sideline with the pass interference and he's looking at 381 00:16:04,828 --> 00:16:07,228 Speaker 1: Darnay Holmes after the plane's just like you're too small, 382 00:16:07,588 --> 00:16:10,988 Speaker 1: Like that's the attitude of a Cowboys star receiver. The 383 00:16:11,028 --> 00:16:14,228 Speaker 1: eight and he showed up yesterday eighty eight. All things 384 00:16:14,268 --> 00:16:17,108 Speaker 1: given and those throwback uniforms were just stars on him, 385 00:16:17,148 --> 00:16:19,028 Speaker 1: like this is what you come to watch when you're 386 00:16:19,268 --> 00:16:21,308 Speaker 1: watching the Dallas Cowboys game. And then it was a 387 00:16:21,348 --> 00:16:23,108 Speaker 1: play in the end zone where he snags it, he 388 00:16:23,148 --> 00:16:25,188 Speaker 1: gets to heel down and then it looks like he 389 00:16:25,228 --> 00:16:27,828 Speaker 1: gets to toe down before the heel touches. That brings 390 00:16:27,868 --> 00:16:30,708 Speaker 1: up a whole nother scenario. What's a catching? Was not 391 00:16:30,788 --> 00:16:32,068 Speaker 1: a catch? And we're not going to go down here 392 00:16:32,068 --> 00:16:33,988 Speaker 1: eighty A and the Cowboys uniform was a catch? What's 393 00:16:33,988 --> 00:16:36,188 Speaker 1: a catch situation? Never heard that. As Brian's watching me, 394 00:16:36,228 --> 00:16:37,708 Speaker 1: heam like, what the hell is going on? We still 395 00:16:37,708 --> 00:16:40,108 Speaker 1: can't figure it out. But city lamb. I mean, it 396 00:16:40,148 --> 00:16:42,428 Speaker 1: was a joy to watch him yesterday jumping off the 397 00:16:42,468 --> 00:16:44,468 Speaker 1: couch moments with someone that catches. Yet want to cover 398 00:16:44,548 --> 00:16:47,028 Speaker 1: my bases and say, I love the Cowboys run game. 399 00:16:47,068 --> 00:16:49,028 Speaker 1: I love what's happening with the running backs. I love 400 00:16:49,068 --> 00:16:52,268 Speaker 1: their approach and how he utilize it within their offense. Yeah, Giants, 401 00:16:52,268 --> 00:16:54,668 Speaker 1: which can't do is cough up two games to the 402 00:16:54,708 --> 00:16:57,948 Speaker 1: Cowboys in a single season. I fear that the balloon 403 00:16:57,988 --> 00:16:59,988 Speaker 1: may have popped over the last two weeks for the Giants. 404 00:17:00,068 --> 00:17:01,828 Speaker 1: What I truly fear is that it's been a slow 405 00:17:01,908 --> 00:17:04,708 Speaker 1: leak since that Monday night loss, and we just haven't 406 00:17:04,748 --> 00:17:07,508 Speaker 1: been realizing it's happening. They've had good wins, but in 407 00:17:07,508 --> 00:17:09,948 Speaker 1: this division, Giants, you can't do this. If I told 408 00:17:09,988 --> 00:17:11,988 Speaker 1: you that one of these teams in the fourth quarter 409 00:17:12,108 --> 00:17:15,668 Speaker 1: had an eleven play forty three yard drive that took 410 00:17:15,748 --> 00:17:17,948 Speaker 1: up almost six minutes of time, to think that was 411 00:17:17,948 --> 00:17:20,188 Speaker 1: the team that was up by fifteen, it was not. 412 00:17:20,388 --> 00:17:23,068 Speaker 1: That was done by the team that was down by fifteen, 413 00:17:23,188 --> 00:17:25,868 Speaker 1: the Giants in the fourth quarter. And what happened They 414 00:17:25,868 --> 00:17:28,148 Speaker 1: turned it over on downs? What else happened within that 415 00:17:28,188 --> 00:17:30,628 Speaker 1: eleven play drive? They ran the ball five times. I 416 00:17:30,668 --> 00:17:33,468 Speaker 1: was cleaning. I was just scrubbing that turkey pan right 417 00:17:33,468 --> 00:17:35,468 Speaker 1: around this time, was like seven thirty at night, and 418 00:17:35,508 --> 00:17:37,308 Speaker 1: I just was like, I kept looking up. They still 419 00:17:37,348 --> 00:17:39,748 Speaker 1: have the ball. They haven't scored yet. Why aren't they 420 00:17:39,788 --> 00:17:41,948 Speaker 1: getting down the field clean the entire turkey pan in 421 00:17:42,028 --> 00:17:44,108 Speaker 1: the tamp. Every time I looked up, they still had 422 00:17:44,148 --> 00:17:46,428 Speaker 1: the ball, and I was like, well, surely something is 423 00:17:46,428 --> 00:17:48,908 Speaker 1: going to come of this at the Nope, five minutes 424 00:17:48,948 --> 00:17:51,188 Speaker 1: of forty one seconds turn the ball over on downs, 425 00:17:51,308 --> 00:17:53,228 Speaker 1: don't put points on the board. They give the ball 426 00:17:53,228 --> 00:17:55,868 Speaker 1: back to the Cowboys with three minutes left, and then 427 00:17:55,868 --> 00:17:57,468 Speaker 1: they just went to the run game because that's what 428 00:17:57,468 --> 00:18:00,108 Speaker 1: the Cowboys are doing in a fantastic way possible. But Giants, 429 00:18:00,148 --> 00:18:01,868 Speaker 1: you can't do that down the stretch. You can't do 430 00:18:01,908 --> 00:18:04,108 Speaker 1: that when you're down fifteen. Come on. Fun to watch 431 00:18:04,148 --> 00:18:06,028 Speaker 1: a z k elliot Ye able to talk with him 432 00:18:06,028 --> 00:18:08,628 Speaker 1: and Paulard back and forth. Ezekiel was on ninety something 433 00:18:08,668 --> 00:18:11,428 Speaker 1: yards rushing getting it done a bigger carry. So it 434 00:18:11,468 --> 00:18:13,508 Speaker 1: was fun to watch those two guys back and forth. 435 00:18:13,548 --> 00:18:15,268 Speaker 1: Man just keep giving them both the ball. It was 436 00:18:15,268 --> 00:18:17,148 Speaker 1: a great day. It's great day for the Cowboys running 437 00:18:17,148 --> 00:18:20,468 Speaker 1: back Cowboys and for wide receivers across the league. Dig 438 00:18:20,548 --> 00:18:23,508 Speaker 1: slam justin Jefferson. How about Tyreek Hill? What's he gonna 439 00:18:23,508 --> 00:18:25,428 Speaker 1: have in store for us on Sunday with the Dolphins. 440 00:18:25,468 --> 00:18:26,868 Speaker 1: They're gonna seen him in a while. They were on 441 00:18:26,908 --> 00:18:29,028 Speaker 1: the bye week last week. He's gonna bring his name 442 00:18:29,028 --> 00:18:31,108 Speaker 1: back into the headlines. We're gonna talk about that game anymore. 443 00:18:31,108 --> 00:18:46,868 Speaker 1: Mad Minute is on the way. Here's a cup of coffee. 444 00:18:46,908 --> 00:18:49,428 Speaker 1: Mad Minute Week twelve kicked off yesterday and we've got 445 00:18:49,428 --> 00:18:51,988 Speaker 1: a great slate of games coming up on Sunday, though 446 00:18:52,148 --> 00:18:54,628 Speaker 1: you can't stop. Don't be like Peter, don't lose steam. 447 00:18:54,948 --> 00:18:57,548 Speaker 1: Keep up for Sunday. Let's break down some of the 448 00:18:57,628 --> 00:19:00,268 Speaker 1: best matchups. You gotta sixty seconds on the clock to 449 00:19:00,348 --> 00:19:02,868 Speaker 1: tell us what you're most excited for in this game. 450 00:19:03,188 --> 00:19:06,628 Speaker 1: Let's start with the Miami Dolphins playing host to the Texans. 451 00:19:06,628 --> 00:19:09,468 Speaker 1: Excitement to t J. What do you got to us? 452 00:19:09,988 --> 00:19:15,148 Speaker 1: Last three games plus seas? Oh yeah, someone really going 453 00:19:15,188 --> 00:19:19,148 Speaker 1: to talk about the Texas totally different ends of the spectrum. 454 00:19:19,268 --> 00:19:20,988 Speaker 1: Two are coming off to buy week. Has had three 455 00:19:20,988 --> 00:19:23,828 Speaker 1: short games with over three passing touchdowns. Can he keep 456 00:19:23,868 --> 00:19:26,628 Speaker 1: that going with his receivers and everything they have rolling 457 00:19:26,748 --> 00:19:29,268 Speaker 1: right now? Stop the Texas early in the game. They'll 458 00:19:29,308 --> 00:19:31,028 Speaker 1: bow out. They're not a team they're playing for the 459 00:19:31,068 --> 00:19:33,148 Speaker 1: first pick of the drafts. Yeah, there's certainly new quarterback 460 00:19:33,188 --> 00:19:34,668 Speaker 1: this week, but I'm not getting into that this This 461 00:19:34,788 --> 00:19:37,268 Speaker 1: Delphics would four in a row, and there's this sneaky 462 00:19:37,348 --> 00:19:39,348 Speaker 1: thing still that they haven't lost the game with two 463 00:19:39,388 --> 00:19:41,908 Speaker 1: US starting and finishing, And like, are they the second 464 00:19:41,908 --> 00:19:44,028 Speaker 1: best team in the FC? Are they the best team 465 00:19:44,108 --> 00:19:45,588 Speaker 1: the FC? I don't know if we learned that that 466 00:19:45,668 --> 00:19:47,708 Speaker 1: lesson this week. But let's just see them. The good 467 00:19:47,748 --> 00:19:50,468 Speaker 1: teams beat the bad teams win this game thirty three 468 00:19:50,508 --> 00:19:52,508 Speaker 1: to ten. They show us something. Yeah, if they win, 469 00:19:52,668 --> 00:19:54,388 Speaker 1: they're in first place in the division. It was like 470 00:19:54,388 --> 00:19:55,988 Speaker 1: a weird couple of weeks where it was like, if 471 00:19:55,988 --> 00:19:57,868 Speaker 1: the Jets win this game, if the Bills win this game. 472 00:19:57,948 --> 00:19:59,828 Speaker 1: Now it's like, all right, Dolphins win, you're in first 473 00:19:59,828 --> 00:20:02,428 Speaker 1: place and they'll be the two seed and they deserve 474 00:20:02,428 --> 00:20:04,068 Speaker 1: our respect. They played really good and I think two 475 00:20:04,148 --> 00:20:06,948 Speaker 1: is going have a day again against this bad Texans team. 476 00:20:07,028 --> 00:20:10,028 Speaker 1: Kyle Allen reportedly, Dad started, I'll just cover that just 477 00:20:10,068 --> 00:20:13,148 Speaker 1: in case to know exactly. Buccaneers head up to Cleveland 478 00:20:13,188 --> 00:20:14,588 Speaker 1: to battle it out against the Bronze. Feels like we 479 00:20:14,588 --> 00:20:17,548 Speaker 1: haven't seen Tampa Bay in a month. Peter, Yeah, I'm 480 00:20:17,588 --> 00:20:19,788 Speaker 1: curious to see what we get from Tampa Bay because 481 00:20:19,828 --> 00:20:21,868 Speaker 1: they had these two great wins. They go into the 482 00:20:21,908 --> 00:20:24,268 Speaker 1: bye after Munich and it's like, all right, take a breath. 483 00:20:24,348 --> 00:20:26,188 Speaker 1: If you remember when the Bucks made their Super Bowl 484 00:20:26,228 --> 00:20:28,108 Speaker 1: run a couple years ago, they lost to the Chiefs, 485 00:20:28,308 --> 00:20:30,148 Speaker 1: but they played really well. Then they had a bye week, 486 00:20:30,148 --> 00:20:31,308 Speaker 1: and then they came out of it and they never 487 00:20:31,348 --> 00:20:33,188 Speaker 1: lost again. It's one of those wild runs and they 488 00:20:33,228 --> 00:20:34,868 Speaker 1: end up win the Super Bowl. Does Brady have this 489 00:20:34,948 --> 00:20:36,868 Speaker 1: team ready to go out of the bye week? Are 490 00:20:36,868 --> 00:20:39,068 Speaker 1: they about to go on this rapid tear? Because I 491 00:20:39,108 --> 00:20:40,788 Speaker 1: look at the NFC, I don't know about you. Do 492 00:20:40,868 --> 00:20:44,708 Speaker 1: The Eagles, Cowboys or the Vikings look like they're unbeatable 493 00:20:44,708 --> 00:20:46,828 Speaker 1: teams in the playoffs. Brady, He's pretty good. It's gonna 494 00:20:46,828 --> 00:20:48,428 Speaker 1: be the start of it. Yeah, I believe that in 495 00:20:48,468 --> 00:20:50,148 Speaker 1: the forty nine is the only team as you mentioned, 496 00:20:50,148 --> 00:20:52,508 Speaker 1: that look kind of scary right now. Great opportunity for 497 00:20:52,668 --> 00:20:54,108 Speaker 1: Tampa Bay Bucks, and a lot of it I think 498 00:20:54,228 --> 00:20:56,028 Speaker 1: is going to start on the ground with the run game. 499 00:20:56,108 --> 00:20:58,468 Speaker 1: We saw Rashaw White in Germany take off over one 500 00:20:58,548 --> 00:21:00,508 Speaker 1: hundred yards. Can he bring that back state side as 501 00:21:00,548 --> 00:21:02,148 Speaker 1: they take on the Browns. Yeah, don't hit us with 502 00:21:02,148 --> 00:21:03,708 Speaker 1: the ropa dope though, and like all of a sudden, 503 00:21:03,708 --> 00:21:05,668 Speaker 1: look flat again because they look they got to win 504 00:21:05,708 --> 00:21:07,908 Speaker 1: the division to make the playoffs. The Falcons are right there, 505 00:21:07,948 --> 00:21:09,588 Speaker 1: and that the Falcons are those other teams that were like, 506 00:21:09,588 --> 00:21:11,108 Speaker 1: I think you're a thing. Oh you're not a thing. 507 00:21:11,148 --> 00:21:13,188 Speaker 1: I think you are the Buccaneers. The thing are we good? Now? 508 00:21:13,188 --> 00:21:14,868 Speaker 1: You're gonna run away with this and finish strong and 509 00:21:14,868 --> 00:21:16,268 Speaker 1: win the soft because if you don't, you're not gonna 510 00:21:16,268 --> 00:21:18,628 Speaker 1: make the playoffs, and that'd be really awkward. Promising production 511 00:21:18,628 --> 00:21:20,628 Speaker 1: offensively for the Bucks, Mike Evans has kind of touchdown 512 00:21:20,668 --> 00:21:23,828 Speaker 1: pass and last six straight games pretty good. It's a 513 00:21:23,868 --> 00:21:26,268 Speaker 1: rematch of last year's divisional round, with the Bengals heading 514 00:21:26,268 --> 00:21:29,068 Speaker 1: to Nashville to face off against the Titans. Peter Entry, 515 00:21:29,268 --> 00:21:31,068 Speaker 1: I think it's the game of the day, honestly, that 516 00:21:31,188 --> 00:21:32,908 Speaker 1: both the Bengals and the tight ends of him slaying 517 00:21:32,948 --> 00:21:35,548 Speaker 1: good strong football. They had a great playoff matchup last 518 00:21:35,588 --> 00:21:37,348 Speaker 1: year where the Bengals up set the Titans in their 519 00:21:37,388 --> 00:21:40,308 Speaker 1: building when they were the one seed. I look at Cincinnati. 520 00:21:40,348 --> 00:21:42,028 Speaker 1: I think Jamar Chase is gonna go for this. I 521 00:21:42,068 --> 00:21:44,788 Speaker 1: think Jamar Chase might play. Obviously he's off the crutches 522 00:21:44,828 --> 00:21:47,108 Speaker 1: and he's been working in practicing this week. But Mixon 523 00:21:47,188 --> 00:21:49,388 Speaker 1: might not. Like the Bengals, this is a team as 524 00:21:49,388 --> 00:21:50,828 Speaker 1: in the Super Bowl last year. If you can go 525 00:21:50,868 --> 00:21:53,268 Speaker 1: into Tennessee and give them the business this week, like 526 00:21:53,308 --> 00:21:55,028 Speaker 1: we're talking about you the same way we talk about 527 00:21:55,028 --> 00:21:57,188 Speaker 1: the Chiefs and the other powers and in the conference. Yeah, 528 00:21:57,228 --> 00:21:59,508 Speaker 1: I'm excited to watch this game. And we know Derek 529 00:21:59,548 --> 00:22:02,108 Speaker 1: Henry Tannehill is gonna be a Henry Shall. I want 530 00:22:02,108 --> 00:22:03,988 Speaker 1: to see trailing Burkes. We watched him the last time 531 00:22:04,028 --> 00:22:07,668 Speaker 1: algas Green Bay. He's making catches against Jayer Alexander. We 532 00:22:07,708 --> 00:22:10,308 Speaker 1: saw a little bit of swag from big plays coming up. 533 00:22:10,508 --> 00:22:12,468 Speaker 1: How is he able to follow it up? Like Peter 534 00:22:12,548 --> 00:22:14,628 Speaker 1: always says, the game, after the game, after the guys, 535 00:22:14,668 --> 00:22:16,828 Speaker 1: a rookie, you have the high point? Can you follow 536 00:22:16,828 --> 00:22:18,628 Speaker 1: it up the next week? Here's the Haters take on 537 00:22:18,668 --> 00:22:20,788 Speaker 1: the Bengals. Right now, they're six and four. They don't 538 00:22:20,828 --> 00:22:24,348 Speaker 1: have a quality win, let alone a signature win. They've 539 00:22:24,388 --> 00:22:26,668 Speaker 1: beaten the NFC South, they've beaten the Steelers, they beat 540 00:22:26,708 --> 00:22:28,868 Speaker 1: the Dolphins in the game the two was knocked out of. 541 00:22:29,388 --> 00:22:32,228 Speaker 1: This would be a really legitimate quality win and that's 542 00:22:32,228 --> 00:22:34,988 Speaker 1: a big one like this in their tournament seating whatever 543 00:22:35,028 --> 00:22:36,668 Speaker 1: it may be, like, oh, you have that quality win 544 00:22:36,708 --> 00:22:38,548 Speaker 1: against the Titans. They have a good record, but like 545 00:22:38,628 --> 00:22:40,588 Speaker 1: they'd haven't beaten a bunch of bad dudes yet, this 546 00:22:40,628 --> 00:22:42,108 Speaker 1: would be one of them. This feels like a battle 547 00:22:42,108 --> 00:22:45,708 Speaker 1: of legitimacy between I agree justin Fields and the Bears 548 00:22:45,748 --> 00:22:47,828 Speaker 1: come to the Big Apple to take on a Mike 549 00:22:47,868 --> 00:22:51,548 Speaker 1: White led Jets, Kyle Jets or Bears to talk about 550 00:22:51,588 --> 00:22:54,788 Speaker 1: in this one Jets, Yeah, Jets quarterback, great theater. I'm 551 00:22:54,828 --> 00:22:56,788 Speaker 1: here for all of it. I'm here for Mike White. 552 00:22:56,828 --> 00:22:59,428 Speaker 1: I'm here for solid I'm also here for like shots 553 00:22:59,428 --> 00:23:01,908 Speaker 1: of Wilson on the sideline and what is he doing 554 00:23:01,988 --> 00:23:04,388 Speaker 1: and how is he contributing? What is this body language? 555 00:23:04,588 --> 00:23:07,268 Speaker 1: I brought this up before. Guys, we have greatly, greatly 556 00:23:07,428 --> 00:23:10,268 Speaker 1: exaggerated our respect for Mike White's abilities. Like we've seen 557 00:23:10,268 --> 00:23:11,788 Speaker 1: a lot of Mike White. It's been some fun times 558 00:23:11,788 --> 00:23:13,548 Speaker 1: in some terrible times. What if he is bad in 559 00:23:13,588 --> 00:23:15,588 Speaker 1: this game, and what if they're down sixteen to three 560 00:23:15,588 --> 00:23:16,948 Speaker 1: and at half time and he's thrown two picks? Do 561 00:23:16,988 --> 00:23:19,188 Speaker 1: you make a move and would it be to put Wilson? 562 00:23:19,228 --> 00:23:22,508 Speaker 1: I just don't know, like dressing right, yeah, right now, 563 00:23:22,628 --> 00:23:24,468 Speaker 1: that's not Jack's not dressing, so they won't play him 564 00:23:24,508 --> 00:23:27,268 Speaker 1: black black? Yeah, but that's more to your point, Like 565 00:23:27,308 --> 00:23:29,508 Speaker 1: I want to see what Wilson looks like on the sideline. Yeah, 566 00:23:29,508 --> 00:23:31,748 Speaker 1: even better wants to have a positive attitude, But now 567 00:23:31,788 --> 00:23:33,828 Speaker 1: you're in street clothes as a hat on the cold 568 00:23:33,908 --> 00:23:36,428 Speaker 1: So I want to see what this is like, Mike White, Like, 569 00:23:36,508 --> 00:23:39,308 Speaker 1: this is your opportunity, a big chance to step up 570 00:23:39,348 --> 00:23:41,308 Speaker 1: this Jets defense, though they're gonna have to be the 571 00:23:41,308 --> 00:23:43,268 Speaker 1: ones to lead to charge with so much going on 572 00:23:43,268 --> 00:23:45,588 Speaker 1: on the offense. I'm here for the New York City drama. 573 00:23:45,668 --> 00:23:47,988 Speaker 1: What if they lose? Like what if Justin Fields does 574 00:23:48,068 --> 00:23:50,148 Speaker 1: play and comes out and runs all over their defense 575 00:23:50,188 --> 00:23:52,148 Speaker 1: and the Jets have their one bad defensive game of 576 00:23:52,148 --> 00:23:53,628 Speaker 1: the season, and then what do we do? What if 577 00:23:53,628 --> 00:23:55,828 Speaker 1: the dramas the Jets are incredible too or the Jets 578 00:23:55,828 --> 00:23:59,268 Speaker 1: come out Either way, it's all about the Jets for me, 579 00:24:00,268 --> 00:24:02,788 Speaker 1: so confusing this matter that one is very confusing. Oh, 580 00:24:02,828 --> 00:24:05,948 Speaker 1: the seven and three Ravens travel to Jacksonville to face 581 00:24:05,988 --> 00:24:08,788 Speaker 1: off against Trevor Lawrence and the Jaguars. Jason Ravens have 582 00:24:08,868 --> 00:24:11,428 Speaker 1: won their last four games. We're talking about it. We 583 00:24:11,508 --> 00:24:13,988 Speaker 1: haven't like gave them a lot of love Lamar Jackson 584 00:24:14,028 --> 00:24:16,708 Speaker 1: and the whole crew, but they're doing what they're supposed 585 00:24:16,708 --> 00:24:18,788 Speaker 1: to do. And we talked just about the Bengals and 586 00:24:18,828 --> 00:24:21,948 Speaker 1: they haven't had a legitimate when the Ravens are coming. 587 00:24:21,948 --> 00:24:24,308 Speaker 1: They're a team of playoff push around this time. Well, 588 00:24:24,308 --> 00:24:25,988 Speaker 1: I want to continue to see what they're able to 589 00:24:25,988 --> 00:24:28,788 Speaker 1: do versus Jacksonville team who hasn't really done much this 590 00:24:28,868 --> 00:24:30,788 Speaker 1: season after we talked about him for like the first 591 00:24:30,828 --> 00:24:35,268 Speaker 1: two weeks of the seasons. Yeah, silent quiet. And here's 592 00:24:35,268 --> 00:24:37,668 Speaker 1: my sneaky take about the Ravens. I think that they're 593 00:24:37,708 --> 00:24:40,068 Speaker 1: going to be the two seed in the AFC. They 594 00:24:40,108 --> 00:24:42,548 Speaker 1: may fight for the one because just name the team 595 00:24:42,548 --> 00:24:48,468 Speaker 1: that they're gonna struggle against down the stretch Jags, Broncos, Steelers, Browns, Falcons, Steelers. 596 00:24:48,788 --> 00:24:50,748 Speaker 1: I think we're looking at curteen and four team like 597 00:24:50,828 --> 00:24:52,548 Speaker 1: that is an incredible record. They could be in the 598 00:24:52,548 --> 00:24:55,068 Speaker 1: mix for the one. Maybe watching the footage from last 599 00:24:55,068 --> 00:24:57,308 Speaker 1: week's game against Carolina and Lamar Jackson's in the tunnel 600 00:24:57,308 --> 00:25:00,788 Speaker 1: and he's shaking every single veteran's hand, He's shaking every 601 00:25:00,788 --> 00:25:03,108 Speaker 1: single police officer's hand. He's looking them right in the eyes, 602 00:25:03,188 --> 00:25:05,548 Speaker 1: and I feel like this guy is so dialed in 603 00:25:05,668 --> 00:25:08,868 Speaker 1: right now, everything right, and we're forgetting is a contract year. 604 00:25:08,988 --> 00:25:11,388 Speaker 1: Has anyone had a performance like this wire to wire 605 00:25:11,428 --> 00:25:13,388 Speaker 1: like Lamar? I think the Jaguars are in for another 606 00:25:13,588 --> 00:25:15,588 Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson big game, and I think he might run 607 00:25:15,588 --> 00:25:17,748 Speaker 1: all over them. It's like an embarrassment of riches for 608 00:25:17,788 --> 00:25:19,548 Speaker 1: the Ravens. You can talk about Lamar Jackson, but their 609 00:25:19,548 --> 00:25:22,628 Speaker 1: defense has been incredible too. Time now for a segment 610 00:25:22,748 --> 00:25:24,708 Speaker 1: we call Sunday Spotlight, where we focus on a key 611 00:25:24,788 --> 00:25:28,188 Speaker 1: player coach situation and this weekend's matchups. Say I get 612 00:25:28,228 --> 00:25:30,588 Speaker 1: to TuS off. Let me take you to a game 613 00:25:30,668 --> 00:25:36,148 Speaker 1: that has ferocious NFC Wildcards implications. A very specific graphic 614 00:25:36,228 --> 00:25:39,228 Speaker 1: I asked for is the NFC Playoff picture. But at 615 00:25:39,268 --> 00:25:41,308 Speaker 1: the cutoff line. All right, you've got some pretty important 616 00:25:41,308 --> 00:25:44,428 Speaker 1: teams here. This had a big implication on Thanksgiving. But 617 00:25:44,548 --> 00:25:47,028 Speaker 1: I'm going here because these two teams play each other. 618 00:25:47,068 --> 00:25:49,548 Speaker 1: Here's the cutoff line, and here's where we hang this 619 00:25:49,588 --> 00:25:52,188 Speaker 1: game being played in Washington. But most importantly, it's the 620 00:25:52,188 --> 00:25:54,428 Speaker 1: two guys that lead the offenses for these team, Marcus 621 00:25:54,468 --> 00:25:58,508 Speaker 1: Mariota Taylor Heineke collectively make about three million dollars two 622 00:25:58,508 --> 00:26:00,788 Speaker 1: of them. But can you imagine the money on this 623 00:26:00,868 --> 00:26:03,588 Speaker 1: game and the implications for a future career earnings for 624 00:26:03,628 --> 00:26:06,908 Speaker 1: them if they boost one of their teams into the playoffs. 625 00:26:06,908 --> 00:26:10,308 Speaker 1: Taylor Heineke was recently named the starting quarterback for the Commanders. 626 00:26:10,308 --> 00:26:13,068 Speaker 1: Everyone's healthy and he's the guy. He's got new Jordans 627 00:26:13,068 --> 00:26:15,388 Speaker 1: in his closets because he's been racking up wins. He 628 00:26:15,548 --> 00:26:18,468 Speaker 1: is calling this a dream of a lifetime as a 629 00:26:18,548 --> 00:26:21,428 Speaker 1: child for him to be the quarterback. Marcus Mariota also 630 00:26:21,468 --> 00:26:24,628 Speaker 1: has this Falcons team hanging around the Buccaneers in that division. 631 00:26:24,868 --> 00:26:27,028 Speaker 1: These two, what are you gonna do on Sunday? Make 632 00:26:27,028 --> 00:26:28,748 Speaker 1: a name for yourself, make a name for your team 633 00:26:28,748 --> 00:26:31,468 Speaker 1: and push them into the playoffs. Let's go. Okay, let's 634 00:26:31,508 --> 00:26:35,068 Speaker 1: go and get keep it right in a quarterback area, 635 00:26:35,428 --> 00:26:37,548 Speaker 1: and you talked about two guys taking advantage of the 636 00:26:37,628 --> 00:26:41,668 Speaker 1: opportunities of Heineken now the starter, Mariota going in there 637 00:26:41,708 --> 00:26:44,588 Speaker 1: after coming from the Raiders. How about Mike White? Now, 638 00:26:44,708 --> 00:26:47,468 Speaker 1: how about an opportunity? How about a spotlight being shown 639 00:26:47,508 --> 00:26:49,628 Speaker 1: on you to go show what you can do? He 640 00:26:49,668 --> 00:26:52,068 Speaker 1: said this week, you never know when your opportunities are 641 00:26:52,068 --> 00:26:54,028 Speaker 1: going to come. The last time he was a starter, 642 00:26:54,108 --> 00:26:56,988 Speaker 1: his first ever career start too for over four hundred yards. 643 00:26:57,028 --> 00:26:58,988 Speaker 1: I'm not holding him to that, but can he go 644 00:26:59,028 --> 00:27:01,268 Speaker 1: out there and turn this Jets team in their offense 645 00:27:01,348 --> 00:27:04,788 Speaker 1: around from the performance this past week. Mike White, have 646 00:27:04,948 --> 00:27:08,588 Speaker 1: yourself a day. Take advantage of this opportunity you've been 647 00:27:08,628 --> 00:27:13,068 Speaker 1: preparing for. It is not luck. Preparation meets opportunity. Take off, 648 00:27:13,148 --> 00:27:16,268 Speaker 1: my friend, get it done. Jason's in the Mike White hive. 649 00:27:16,788 --> 00:27:19,508 Speaker 1: There is a vibrant hive from Mike White. I thought 650 00:27:19,508 --> 00:27:21,508 Speaker 1: it was interesting this week. I saw that Aaron Rodgers 651 00:27:21,588 --> 00:27:25,148 Speaker 1: said he was spending Thanksgiving with Mason Crosby, and I 652 00:27:25,188 --> 00:27:28,148 Speaker 1: picture these two old, thirty eight year old gray beards 653 00:27:28,228 --> 00:27:31,108 Speaker 1: just reflecting on what's been and what got away from us, 654 00:27:31,308 --> 00:27:32,908 Speaker 1: and I thought maybe they might think about some of 655 00:27:32,908 --> 00:27:35,468 Speaker 1: the headlines I saw this morning just now on my computer, 656 00:27:35,988 --> 00:27:40,668 Speaker 1: the fall of Aaron Rodgers life after football, consider starting 657 00:27:40,788 --> 00:27:43,588 Speaker 1: Jordan Love and that is eight months after he sat 658 00:27:43,628 --> 00:27:46,308 Speaker 1: there to receive his second straight MVP award. I wonder 659 00:27:46,348 --> 00:27:48,468 Speaker 1: also if a Thanksgiving they discussed the idea that people 660 00:27:48,468 --> 00:27:50,868 Speaker 1: like Dak Prescott and Kirk Cousins will be in the 661 00:27:50,988 --> 00:27:54,108 Speaker 1: NFC playoffs and not Aaron Rodgers. All I have to 662 00:27:54,108 --> 00:27:55,428 Speaker 1: say is this, I don't know if they're gonna make 663 00:27:55,428 --> 00:27:57,068 Speaker 1: the ploffsho. I don't know if they're gonna turn it around. 664 00:27:57,108 --> 00:27:58,748 Speaker 1: But when we look back at this year, I want 665 00:27:58,788 --> 00:28:01,028 Speaker 1: us to say, yeah, it went bad, it went real bad. 666 00:28:01,188 --> 00:28:04,268 Speaker 1: But remember that night in Philly when Bill said, one 667 00:28:04,588 --> 00:28:07,308 Speaker 1: more into the breach, mother Bleeper, I am the baddest 668 00:28:07,308 --> 00:28:09,388 Speaker 1: man on the planet, and I'm gonna go down like 669 00:28:09,428 --> 00:28:11,428 Speaker 1: Butch Cassidy and this thing I'm gonna give him. Hell, 670 00:28:11,668 --> 00:28:16,108 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers go having nights. It's not over yet. Wrap 671 00:28:16,148 --> 00:28:19,068 Speaker 1: it up with another quarterback here, twenty five years old, 672 00:28:19,188 --> 00:28:22,188 Speaker 1: a former top three pick in the NFL draft, and 673 00:28:22,228 --> 00:28:25,708 Speaker 1: he's getting his first start of the season, Sam Darnold. 674 00:28:25,828 --> 00:28:29,388 Speaker 1: Let's see what you got. Carolina Panthers playing the Denver 675 00:28:29,508 --> 00:28:31,508 Speaker 1: Broncos and Sam Donald's in the final year of a 676 00:28:31,588 --> 00:28:34,428 Speaker 1: contract situation. If he goes out there the final few 677 00:28:34,428 --> 00:28:36,308 Speaker 1: weeks in the season, it shows that he not only 678 00:28:36,388 --> 00:28:38,508 Speaker 1: is a competent quarterback, but he's the guy that we 679 00:28:38,628 --> 00:28:40,548 Speaker 1: thought he was going to be when he was a 680 00:28:40,708 --> 00:28:44,148 Speaker 1: top three pick in New York. This guy could find himself. 681 00:28:44,548 --> 00:28:46,628 Speaker 1: Maybe it could be one next year, maybe it couldb two. 682 00:28:46,668 --> 00:28:49,468 Speaker 1: But something to go from this is it. He's finally 683 00:28:49,508 --> 00:28:52,068 Speaker 1: getting the start, Sam Donald. You have nothing to lose 684 00:28:52,228 --> 00:28:57,388 Speaker 1: just gave the people's elbow. The people's elbow. Just gave 685 00:28:57,428 --> 00:29:12,428 Speaker 1: a people's elbow. Don't know why Cowboys get to win. 686 00:29:12,588 --> 00:29:15,348 Speaker 1: Dak Prescott spoke about his team's performance and how they 687 00:29:15,348 --> 00:29:17,548 Speaker 1: were able to turn it around in the second half. 688 00:29:17,628 --> 00:29:19,748 Speaker 1: Let's see, we tried to say that we got off 689 00:29:19,748 --> 00:29:21,508 Speaker 1: of our own feet, we stopped stepping on our toes, 690 00:29:21,548 --> 00:29:24,108 Speaker 1: making self inflicted mistakes, didn't turn the ball over. We're 691 00:29:24,148 --> 00:29:25,668 Speaker 1: able to get in that rhythm, get back to what 692 00:29:25,708 --> 00:29:28,388 Speaker 1: I talked about in the past, our standard and expectation 693 00:29:28,388 --> 00:29:30,628 Speaker 1: and pretty much scoring on every drive except the last, 694 00:29:30,868 --> 00:29:32,788 Speaker 1: the last one and then the nil possession, going out 695 00:29:32,788 --> 00:29:34,908 Speaker 1: there and kneeling, and that's what we're capable of doing. 696 00:29:34,908 --> 00:29:37,748 Speaker 1: When we're hightening our focus, executing between the wilstle and 697 00:29:37,788 --> 00:29:39,668 Speaker 1: just finishing. That is our standard. That's where we're gon 698 00:29:39,708 --> 00:29:41,188 Speaker 1: hold each other too. And when we're not doing that 699 00:29:41,228 --> 00:29:43,508 Speaker 1: in the first half, it's tough, but we understand that 700 00:29:43,548 --> 00:29:45,228 Speaker 1: this is the NFL and it's tough. It's not going 701 00:29:45,268 --> 00:29:47,108 Speaker 1: to always go away and always be perfect, but we've 702 00:29:47,108 --> 00:29:49,068 Speaker 1: got to be committed to each other, committed to our 703 00:29:49,108 --> 00:29:52,708 Speaker 1: game plan and just stay at it. Yeah, committed enough 704 00:29:52,708 --> 00:29:55,308 Speaker 1: to follow up for Dallas a big win over Minnesota, 705 00:29:55,388 --> 00:29:58,108 Speaker 1: and then they'd a great showing on Thanksgiving to move 706 00:29:58,108 --> 00:30:00,548 Speaker 1: to eight and three. They are fifth in the NFC. 707 00:30:01,388 --> 00:30:04,868 Speaker 1: The rest of Week twelve still supplace. I don't care 708 00:30:04,908 --> 00:30:07,628 Speaker 1: how much of an Ebenezer Scrooge you are, but it's 709 00:30:07,628 --> 00:30:10,788 Speaker 1: after Thanksgiving. We've officially entered the Christmas Carol seats in 710 00:30:10,828 --> 00:30:13,548 Speaker 1: And to me, no one speaks more to a Christmas 711 00:30:13,548 --> 00:30:15,908 Speaker 1: Carol parallel than the one Dallas Cowboys. They have the 712 00:30:15,908 --> 00:30:18,748 Speaker 1: ghosts of Christmas pass, or the ghosts of seasons past, 713 00:30:18,828 --> 00:30:21,468 Speaker 1: the ghosts of seasons present, and how can they change 714 00:30:21,508 --> 00:30:24,548 Speaker 1: things to have a very friendly ghost of seasons future? 715 00:30:24,708 --> 00:30:27,828 Speaker 1: So we know this twenty twenty two Cowboys team feels different. 716 00:30:27,868 --> 00:30:30,548 Speaker 1: They might look different, but are you believing that they 717 00:30:30,588 --> 00:30:33,468 Speaker 1: are truly different? Are you referring to me a scrooge? 718 00:30:33,948 --> 00:30:37,108 Speaker 1: Not you in particular, not you with the Christmas sweater us. 719 00:30:37,188 --> 00:30:40,428 Speaker 1: I am one of the joy and great light, and 720 00:30:40,548 --> 00:30:43,268 Speaker 1: yet I felt like I's in a team at home 721 00:30:43,308 --> 00:30:47,468 Speaker 1: have more false start penalties in the Costa Humbug and 722 00:30:47,628 --> 00:30:50,508 Speaker 1: the slowdown, and the Cowboys be a Giants team that 723 00:30:50,588 --> 00:30:53,348 Speaker 1: had seven guys on the roster that we're there from 724 00:30:53,348 --> 00:30:55,388 Speaker 1: the opening day, not there on the trip. And I'm 725 00:30:55,428 --> 00:30:58,348 Speaker 1: watching this game early on fourth and one, Mike McCarthy, 726 00:30:58,348 --> 00:31:00,748 Speaker 1: just punk the ball, Just punk the ball. Mike McCarthy 727 00:31:00,828 --> 00:31:03,228 Speaker 1: trots out his offense fourth and one. We're stuffed. And 728 00:31:03,628 --> 00:31:06,068 Speaker 1: if the Giants would have a peculiar penalty about the 729 00:31:06,188 --> 00:31:09,268 Speaker 1: offensive lineman called downfield when he was a yard off scurage, 730 00:31:10,148 --> 00:31:13,108 Speaker 1: maybe it's a different story. I like that Dak rolled 731 00:31:13,148 --> 00:31:15,068 Speaker 1: around it in the first hour. I was way in 732 00:31:15,148 --> 00:31:17,308 Speaker 1: on Dak having a great bounce back second half, and 733 00:31:17,348 --> 00:31:19,548 Speaker 1: to his point, they scored on every possession except the 734 00:31:19,588 --> 00:31:21,748 Speaker 1: last one and second half, and that's great. This Giants 735 00:31:21,788 --> 00:31:24,428 Speaker 1: team is not the Niners. This Giants team is not 736 00:31:24,508 --> 00:31:27,908 Speaker 1: the Eagles. This Giants team is one that was injured, hobbled, 737 00:31:27,988 --> 00:31:29,948 Speaker 1: coming in and playing above their heads the whole season. 738 00:31:30,028 --> 00:31:33,148 Speaker 1: They had thirteen penalties at home. Yesterday they had another 739 00:31:33,268 --> 00:31:36,388 Speaker 1: curious fourth down decision right there. Look, I'm not doing 740 00:31:36,388 --> 00:31:39,068 Speaker 1: flips over the fact that they just finally won on Thanksgiving. 741 00:31:39,228 --> 00:31:43,548 Speaker 1: They don't feel different to you yet, title game, not necessarily. 742 00:31:44,468 --> 00:31:46,428 Speaker 1: They're in the conversation howboys Niners? Right now on the 743 00:31:46,428 --> 00:31:48,508 Speaker 1: playoffs yeah, and I'm sure like Michael Irvin will come 744 00:31:48,508 --> 00:31:50,628 Speaker 1: out and he'll tell us how great the Colos were, 745 00:31:50,628 --> 00:31:53,868 Speaker 1: and that's what those Cowboys supporters will do. I'm here 746 00:31:53,868 --> 00:31:55,948 Speaker 1: to be a realist this morning. If you watch that game, 747 00:31:55,988 --> 00:31:58,948 Speaker 1: they had thirteen penalties and they had about eleven false 748 00:31:58,988 --> 00:32:02,108 Speaker 1: starts at home in their own stadium. Slow down. So 749 00:32:02,188 --> 00:32:04,188 Speaker 1: I remember last year they go in the playoff games, 750 00:32:04,388 --> 00:32:07,468 Speaker 1: takes at the end, penalties and weird decisions by Mike McCarthy. 751 00:32:07,508 --> 00:32:09,428 Speaker 1: I didn't see anything that's erasing that. Right now. You 752 00:32:09,588 --> 00:32:12,908 Speaker 1: heard us think I got to win. The Cowboys are 753 00:32:12,948 --> 00:32:16,228 Speaker 1: figuring it out. You look at them defensively. Michael Parsons 754 00:32:16,268 --> 00:32:18,108 Speaker 1: earlier on in the season, we talked when they got 755 00:32:18,148 --> 00:32:20,508 Speaker 1: ready to play Minnesota. Hey, the past two games they've 756 00:32:20,548 --> 00:32:23,348 Speaker 1: given up over four hundred yards on the ground. Well 757 00:32:23,388 --> 00:32:25,828 Speaker 1: in four days. They shut down Dalvin Cook with the 758 00:32:25,828 --> 00:32:29,788 Speaker 1: Minnesota Vikings. They shut down sae Quon Barkley yesterday eleven 759 00:32:29,948 --> 00:32:34,548 Speaker 1: carries for thirty nine yards. The Giants didn't score in 760 00:32:34,588 --> 00:32:37,028 Speaker 1: the second half until the very end of the game, 761 00:32:37,188 --> 00:32:39,268 Speaker 1: where it's like the only people that were still watching 762 00:32:39,428 --> 00:32:41,828 Speaker 1: were people that bet on the game. The overrun, I 763 00:32:41,868 --> 00:32:44,548 Speaker 1: think it was ten points, like, OK, just sweak one out. 764 00:32:44,908 --> 00:32:47,268 Speaker 1: I don't know anything about the betting. It was Thanksgiving, 765 00:32:47,268 --> 00:32:50,668 Speaker 1: I have family over. But give these cowboys some credit 766 00:32:50,708 --> 00:32:53,788 Speaker 1: their defense, figuring it out at the right time, guys 767 00:32:53,868 --> 00:32:56,588 Speaker 1: making plays and figuring out a way to stack these 768 00:32:56,628 --> 00:33:00,668 Speaker 1: wins late in the game. Football starts on things after yes, 769 00:33:00,668 --> 00:33:04,988 Speaker 1: you're being screwed. No, you're a realist, he's yeah, the 770 00:33:05,068 --> 00:33:07,868 Speaker 1: ghost of Christmas. Reality is what you are being here. Well, 771 00:33:08,068 --> 00:33:10,908 Speaker 1: you know what words always making this is when it's 772 00:33:10,908 --> 00:33:14,188 Speaker 1: like a fresh take on a classic. Have you seen 773 00:33:14,228 --> 00:33:17,828 Speaker 1: this trailer that you're talking about the Christmas Carrol and 774 00:33:17,868 --> 00:33:21,148 Speaker 1: now they're doing a Will Farrell and roynd Reynolds. It's 775 00:33:21,148 --> 00:33:23,828 Speaker 1: a fresh take on a classic. And I like those guys, 776 00:33:24,108 --> 00:33:26,708 Speaker 1: But isn't that doesn't that feel like this, Like they 777 00:33:26,788 --> 00:33:29,588 Speaker 1: got a bunch of famous guys and like it looks 778 00:33:29,628 --> 00:33:32,108 Speaker 1: fun and the trailer and Will Farrell's falling down and 779 00:33:32,188 --> 00:33:34,308 Speaker 1: doing all that. Ryan Reynolds just being so witty and 780 00:33:34,348 --> 00:33:36,748 Speaker 1: like it feels a little bit like the Compoys and 781 00:33:37,028 --> 00:33:39,228 Speaker 1: look elephant in the room. If you think that's a 782 00:33:39,268 --> 00:33:42,588 Speaker 1: fresh take on a classic. The director, the executive producer 783 00:33:42,588 --> 00:33:44,988 Speaker 1: of this movie was on the program and we said, 784 00:33:45,148 --> 00:33:50,188 Speaker 1: mister Jones, you're such a visionary. Can you envision Odell 785 00:33:50,348 --> 00:33:52,908 Speaker 1: jumping into one of those kettles? And here's what he said, 786 00:33:54,508 --> 00:33:59,668 Speaker 1: that may see if the same vision. Yeah, I see it, 787 00:34:00,188 --> 00:34:03,468 Speaker 1: you can see it. It's there. Oh, there it is there, 788 00:34:03,508 --> 00:34:15,388 Speaker 1: It is there. You see like his visions of sugar plums, 789 00:34:15,988 --> 00:34:20,068 Speaker 1: is Odell flipping into the kettle and right into the bank. 790 00:34:20,348 --> 00:34:23,068 Speaker 1: I've seen Cowboys teams in the dak era eight and four, 791 00:34:23,308 --> 00:34:25,668 Speaker 1: eight one, eight and three. It always has the same 792 00:34:25,828 --> 00:34:27,668 Speaker 1: endings of the fresh take. So look, they had a 793 00:34:27,708 --> 00:34:30,108 Speaker 1: good win on Thanksgiving. I'm not trying to slap them around, 794 00:34:30,148 --> 00:34:32,108 Speaker 1: but like, am I ready to be? Like it's over? 795 00:34:32,908 --> 00:34:36,188 Speaker 1: Super Bowl? I can't get there yet, No, no, not yet. 796 00:34:36,348 --> 00:34:39,548 Speaker 1: Too much scar tissue nineteen ninety five. I've seen a 797 00:34:39,548 --> 00:34:41,108 Speaker 1: lot of teams since then. That was the last title 798 00:34:41,188 --> 00:34:44,148 Speaker 1: game coming up. I'll go marine football did the right 799 00:34:44,228 --> 00:34:48,348 Speaker 1: move benching Zach Wilson. He reportedly isn't gonna even dressed 800 00:34:48,428 --> 00:34:50,908 Speaker 1: this weekend. So we're gonna find out soon enough because 801 00:34:50,908 --> 00:34:53,188 Speaker 1: we're gonna talk about that game in mad minute. How 802 00:34:53,228 --> 00:34:57,068 Speaker 1: many false star petals? Several several at home,
