I love the 57 00:02:54,988 --> 00:02:58,948 Speaker 6: best day in five thousand, ninety three days, I believe 58 00:02:59,028 --> 00:03:01,788 Speaker 6: was the number. That was the That's the duration since 59 00:03:01,788 --> 00:03:03,948 Speaker 6: the last time the Giants won the Super Bowl twenty twelve, 60 00:03:03,988 --> 00:03:06,588 Speaker 6: February fifth, I believe was the date super Bowl forty six. 61 00:03:06,988 --> 00:03:09,868 Speaker 5: There was a playoff win somewhere in between there. 62 00:03:09,748 --> 00:03:12,708 Speaker 6: They won a postseason game with Brian Dable as the 63 00:03:12,748 --> 00:03:17,588 Speaker 6: head coach. Given where this franchise is right now, best 64 00:03:17,628 --> 00:03:19,748 Speaker 6: day since that Super Bowl. For me, this is an 65 00:03:19,868 --> 00:03:24,908 Speaker 6: unbelievable coup for the biggest fish in the head coaching. 66 00:03:24,588 --> 00:03:27,588 Speaker 5: Pond and the Maraths and the. 67 00:03:27,468 --> 00:03:31,268 Speaker 6: Tishes and general manager Joe Shane reeling them in. 68 00:03:32,028 --> 00:03:34,588 Speaker 5: If you're Joe Shane, you know that gift where the 69 00:03:34,628 --> 00:03:38,348 Speaker 5: glasses come down onto the guy's deal with it.

You talked about 81 00:04:07,988 --> 00:04:09,628 Speaker 6: Elia the Mediterranean restaurant. 82 00:04:09,748 --> 00:04:11,268 Speaker 5: Oh bah, that's. 83 00:04:11,108 --> 00:04:12,948 Speaker 6: One of the things you could say today, cal You 84 00:04:12,948 --> 00:04:13,908 Speaker 6: can also say. 85 00:04:13,788 --> 00:04:15,948 Speaker 5: Who's got it better than Giants fans? This morning? 86 00:04:17,188 --> 00:04:18,668 Speaker 7: What body? 87 00:04:20,708 --> 00:04:24,508 Speaker 8: This huge deal? There's no skeptical turn for me. The 88 00:04:24,548 --> 00:04:27,388 Speaker 8: biggest media market, one of the most important franchises. And 89 00:04:27,468 --> 00:04:30,708 Speaker 8: it's not just that the Giants have struggled. This always 90 00:04:30,748 --> 00:04:34,148 Speaker 8: hits for me. The Giants have really struggled at home. 91 00:04:34,548 --> 00:04:37,348 Speaker 8: And I think that's really important. Since twenty seventeen, the 92 00:04:37,388 --> 00:04:40,188 Speaker 8: Giants have the worst home record in the entire NFL. 93 00:04:40,388 --> 00:04:42,428 Speaker 8: All the teams that have struggled, no one struggled more 94 00:04:42,428 --> 00:04:44,948 Speaker 8: at home, because that's when you tell the fans come 95 00:04:44,988 --> 00:04:48,028 Speaker 8: out to a Giants schame, bring your kids, bring your husband, 96 00:04:48,108 --> 00:04:49,868 Speaker 8: bring your wife. I did that this year. I went 97 00:04:49,868 --> 00:04:51,668 Speaker 8: and sit in the stands with my family and friends. 98 00:04:51,788 --> 00:04:53,588 Speaker 8: The Giants lost to the forty nine ers. They almost 99 00:04:53,628 --> 00:04:56,228 Speaker 8: always lose at home, so this is supposed to represent 100 00:04:56,268 --> 00:04:58,388 Speaker 8: the end to that. And let's remember how we got here. 101 00:04:59,228 --> 00:05:01,988 Speaker 8: Bring up the head coaches.

You got Robinson 149 00:07:11,668 --> 00:07:14,628 Speaker 9: coming back, You got Theo Johnson playing the tight end position, 150 00:07:14,708 --> 00:07:17,188 Speaker 9: which he is awesome. And then on the defensive side 151 00:07:17,228 --> 00:07:19,828 Speaker 9: of the ball, they are built to last.

I 175 00:08:19,028 --> 00:08:21,908 Speaker 6: don't care in the sense that I am a fan 176 00:08:22,068 --> 00:08:22,628 Speaker 6: of the team. 177 00:08:22,708 --> 00:08:23,108 Speaker 5: I am not. 178 00:08:23,228 --> 00:08:25,228 Speaker 6: I'm not a fan of anybody grew up an Eagles fan. 179 00:08:25,748 --> 00:08:26,228 Speaker 3: I am not. 180 00:08:26,388 --> 00:08:28,988 Speaker 6: I can't be anymore. It's impossible. I've got this job 181 00:08:29,028 --> 00:08:32,788 Speaker 6: to do. It's just so hard. However, I live in 182 00:08:32,828 --> 00:08:35,708 Speaker 6: this market, I work in this market. I've been extremely 183 00:08:35,708 --> 00:08:39,268 Speaker 6: frustrated that the two franchises that are in this market, 184 00:08:40,348 --> 00:08:43,028 Speaker 6: we get to Halloween and they haven't been relevant for 185 00:08:43,068 --> 00:08:45,868 Speaker 6: the better part of a decade, even back to that 186 00:08:45,868 --> 00:08:50,788 Speaker 6: fifteen year market that I'm talking about, Kyle. MetLife Stadium 187 00:08:51,028 --> 00:08:55,748 Speaker 6: opened in what year, twenty fifteen? How many postseason games 188 00:08:55,748 --> 00:08:59,508 Speaker 6: have been played at MetLife Stadium involving the teams that 189 00:08:59,628 --> 00:09:00,148 Speaker 6: play there? 190 00:09:02,028 --> 00:09:03,348 Speaker 3: Zero one one? 191 00:09:03,468 --> 00:09:06,268 Speaker 6: What was It's the Giants Falcons game on the way 192 00:09:06,308 --> 00:09:09,028 Speaker 6: to that super Bowl that I'm talking about. The Falcon's 193 00:09:09,068 --> 00:09:10,388 Speaker 6: gonna play eight quarters that day. 194 00:09:10,428 --> 00:09:11,188 Speaker 5: They weren't going to for. 195 00:09:11,308 --> 00:09:14,588 Speaker 6: A touchdown on that defense that day. The other game 196 00:09:15,388 --> 00:09:17,548 Speaker 6: was the Super Bowl that didn't involve the. 197 00:09:17,468 --> 00:09:19,068 Speaker 3: Giant, Seahawks Broncos. 198 00:09:19,148 --> 00:09:22,668 Speaker 6: Yes, so we've got two postseason I would like some 199 00:09:22,828 --> 00:09:26,948 Speaker 6: relevancy in the New York market and John Harball agreeing 200 00:09:26,988 --> 00:09:29,348 Speaker 6: to a five year deal eventually here this morning and 201 00:09:29,428 --> 00:09:33,708 Speaker 6: finalizing it brings some relevancy and we I mean it's good. 202 00:09:33,748 --> 00:09:36,348 Speaker 5: Winning football is going to follow him. That's going to happen. 203 00:09:36,388 --> 00:09:36,668 Speaker 3: You know that. 204 00:09:36,668 --> 00:09:38,228 Speaker 5: Are they gona win the Super Bowl with John Harball? 205 00:09:38,228 --> 00:09:40,428 Speaker 3: I have no idea to that. That point back on 206 00:09:40,468 --> 00:09:40,868 Speaker 3: the map. 207 00:09:41,588 --> 00:09:44,708 Speaker 5: We've got some juice, We've got some energy for us 208 00:09:44,748 --> 00:09:45,228 Speaker 5: to be here. 209 00:09:46,668 --> 00:09:48,628 Speaker 8: I feel I always looked through it in the lens 210 00:09:48,628 --> 00:09:50,828 Speaker 8: of since Good Morning Football start in the twenty sixteen 211 00:09:50,868 --> 00:09:54,108 Speaker 8: season and the Giants postseason. All right, so they beat 212 00:09:54,188 --> 00:09:55,628 Speaker 8: Kirk Cousins in the bike and that was great. Don't 213 00:09:55,628 --> 00:09:59,388 Speaker 8: take anything away the boat picture Odell going to Green Bay. 214 00:09:59,428 --> 00:10:01,668 Speaker 8: Odell drops everything, kicks a hole through the wall like 215 00:10:01,708 --> 00:10:04,548 Speaker 8: that was years ago, and that was their postseason. I 216 00:10:04,548 --> 00:10:06,588 Speaker 8: do have to say the skeptic finally came out and 217 00:10:06,588 --> 00:10:09,548 Speaker 8: there's thirty one other fan bases they're saying, Okay, so 218 00:10:09,628 --> 00:10:12,828 Speaker 8: the Giants hired the guy who usually loses in the playoffs, 219 00:10:12,828 --> 00:10:15,268 Speaker 8: like there's there a super Bowl coming. I'm not saying that. 220 00:10:15,468 --> 00:10:17,348 Speaker 8: I'm not saying the Giants going to Super Bowl. You've 221 00:10:17,348 --> 00:10:19,508 Speaker 8: got to understand where we're coming from. The Giants are 222 00:10:19,548 --> 00:10:21,388 Speaker 8: going to matter, The Giants are going to have a 223 00:10:21,428 --> 00:10:24,428 Speaker 8: professional product, The Giants are going to be in games 224 00:10:24,508 --> 00:10:27,748 Speaker 8: late in the season. That's a huge, huge leap, one 225 00:10:27,828 --> 00:10:30,148 Speaker 8: giant leap for Giant kind. I'm not saying they're going 226 00:10:30,188 --> 00:10:32,668 Speaker 8: to start hanging parades yet, although they might. It's just 227 00:10:32,708 --> 00:10:33,148 Speaker 8: that they. 228 00:10:33,028 --> 00:10:35,188 Speaker 3: Matter, Mike, and they haven't, and that's a big deal. 229 00:10:35,268 --> 00:10:38,308 Speaker 2: And culturally, what is required in that market as well 230 00:10:38,428 --> 00:10:40,228 Speaker 2: is to be able to handle your business. And that 231 00:10:40,308 --> 00:10:43,028 Speaker 2: man's done so in Baltimore for a very long time, 232 00:10:43,108 --> 00:10:45,348 Speaker 2: and now he just takes that. We just going through 233 00:10:45,348 --> 00:10:47,548 Speaker 2: those faces of the men who were in charge of 234 00:10:47,588 --> 00:10:49,668 Speaker 2: the Giants in the past. It just hits different when 235 00:10:49,708 --> 00:10:51,548 Speaker 2: you know that guy's going to be standing at the podium. 236 00:10:51,708 --> 00:10:54,788 Speaker 2: As I mentioned Ian Rappaport, to finish the last thought 237 00:10:54,788 --> 00:10:57,468 Speaker 2: that you had, there were nine openings. Now there were eight. 238 00:10:57,748 --> 00:11:00,188 Speaker 2: I am a glutton for hiring news at this point. 239 00:11:00,668 --> 00:11:02,588 Speaker 2: What it would be the next thing to happen for 240 00:11:02,668 --> 00:11:04,228 Speaker 2: us if we were to just I don't know, have 241 00:11:04,548 --> 00:11:05,668 Speaker 2: have some conjecture about it. 242 00:11:06,828 --> 00:11:08,988 Speaker 4: You'll talk about the playoffs eventually, I promise. 243 00:11:09,108 --> 00:11:10,508 Speaker 3: Let's keep talking about the hiring. 244 00:11:10,548 --> 00:11:13,828 Speaker 4: You guys mentioned the Giants John Harbaugh hiring, no doubt, 245 00:11:13,868 --> 00:11:17,068 Speaker 4: brings some credibility back to New York. The kind of 246 00:11:17,148 --> 00:11:19,588 Speaker 4: hire where everyone the harries up their process and says, 247 00:11:19,588 --> 00:11:21,788 Speaker 4: you know what, we got to make sure we follow 248 00:11:21,788 --> 00:11:23,348 Speaker 4: all the rules, we do everything we need to do, 249 00:11:23,508 --> 00:11:25,268 Speaker 4: so we are poised to make a move. That's what 250 00:11:25,388 --> 00:11:28,508 Speaker 4: the Giants were. That's why the Giants, they fulfilled the 251 00:11:28,588 --> 00:11:30,108 Speaker 4: requirements by the NFL, they. 252 00:11:29,988 --> 00:11:31,108 Speaker 3: Were able to hire Harball. 253 00:11:31,228 --> 00:11:34,548 Speaker 4: The Tennessee Titans did the same thing for the possibility 254 00:11:34,548 --> 00:11:36,548 Speaker 4: of hiring Harbor. I remember they were supposed to visit 255 00:11:36,548 --> 00:11:39,868 Speaker 4: with him this morning until the deal got out last night. 256 00:11:40,308 --> 00:11:42,908 Speaker 4: So what this means is that the Tennessee Titans essentially 257 00:11:42,948 --> 00:11:45,028 Speaker 4: go back to their process. They are going to interview 258 00:11:45,188 --> 00:11:46,868 Speaker 4: a couple of coaches later in the week. They got 259 00:11:46,948 --> 00:11:50,588 Speaker 4: Robert Salid, they got Mike McCarthy deformer Cowboys coach, deformer 260 00:11:50,628 --> 00:11:53,428 Speaker 4: Packers coach. They're going to bring in finalists next week 261 00:11:53,468 --> 00:11:56,548 Speaker 4: and really just continue along with the process as it 262 00:11:56,588 --> 00:11:59,868 Speaker 4: should be. It certainly seems to me right now like 263 00:12:00,108 --> 00:12:03,988 Speaker 4: Harball is the outlier. Hire him, do that deal, do 264 00:12:04,028 --> 00:12:06,188 Speaker 4: the whole thing now. Do it fast, because that's how 265 00:12:06,268 --> 00:12:08,908 Speaker 4: quickly you had to strike. Everyone else will kind of 266 00:12:08,988 --> 00:12:12,188 Speaker 4: go about the other eight openings, and the Steelers are 267 00:12:12,188 --> 00:12:14,268 Speaker 4: obviously just getting started with a little bit of a 268 00:12:14,788 --> 00:12:18,788 Speaker 4: late start here this week. But everyone else will kind 269 00:12:18,788 --> 00:12:22,268 Speaker 4: of go through the process, bring in finalists next week 270 00:12:22,348 --> 00:12:25,268 Speaker 4: and try to hire next week and probably into the following. 271 00:12:24,988 --> 00:12:26,108 Speaker 3: Week before the Super Bowl. 272 00:12:26,668 --> 00:12:28,668 Speaker 4: This was the only one, it seems, where there'd be 273 00:12:28,668 --> 00:12:30,668 Speaker 4: a big flurry to make this happen. 274 00:12:31,108 --> 00:12:32,868 Speaker 2: All right, rap sheet, thank you so much, rap Sheet. 275 00:12:32,868 --> 00:12:34,708 Speaker 2: Real quick, before I let you go, you mentioned the 276 00:12:34,708 --> 00:12:36,508 Speaker 2: Todd Monkin news at the end of your last report. 277 00:12:36,868 --> 00:12:39,508 Speaker 2: What about Zach goor what's the defense for the Giants 278 00:12:39,588 --> 00:12:41,628 Speaker 2: going to look like with John Harbaugh as a boss. 279 00:12:43,108 --> 00:12:46,548 Speaker 4: I've not heard Zach Corr as definitively as Todd Monkett. 280 00:12:46,548 --> 00:12:48,868 Speaker 4: Now Monket is still by the way interviewing profits or 281 00:12:48,868 --> 00:12:52,348 Speaker 4: coordinator job talk to the Bucks. But essentially my understanding 282 00:12:52,388 --> 00:12:56,508 Speaker 4: is it's likely that he joined Harbaugh with Zach Orr. 283 00:12:56,588 --> 00:13:00,348 Speaker 4: It was not considered as likely possible possible He's interviewing 284 00:13:00,388 --> 00:13:02,348 Speaker 4: for some other jobs as well, interviewing for the Cowboys 285 00:13:02,388 --> 00:13:05,428 Speaker 4: defensive coordinator job. It just hadn't described to me as 286 00:13:05,468 --> 00:13:08,348 Speaker 4: a sure thing like it had for the Monkin situation. 287 00:13:08,428 --> 00:13:10,188 Speaker 2: All right, thanks, Ian, talk to you a little bit. 288 00:13:10,268 --> 00:13:14,348 Speaker 2: Mike Garrifoalo The sound yesterday from Steve Bushatti rings in 289 00:13:14,388 --> 00:13:16,668 Speaker 2: all of our years. When he was informed of Mike 290 00:13:16,708 --> 00:13:19,108 Speaker 2: Tomlin's release from his job, well, when he agreed to 291 00:13:19,108 --> 00:13:20,668 Speaker 2: step away from the Steelers. I want to make sure 292 00:13:20,668 --> 00:13:23,868 Speaker 2: I get that language correct. But Bashadi made a joke that, well, 293 00:13:23,868 --> 00:13:26,228 Speaker 2: Harbaugh could go to Pittsburgh if we get Tomlin. 294 00:13:26,508 --> 00:13:27,468 Speaker 3: This is not happening. 295 00:13:27,628 --> 00:13:30,348 Speaker 2: Instead, Harbaugh takes ninety five north. He ends up in 296 00:13:30,388 --> 00:13:33,948 Speaker 2: New Jersey. Now for shot pumps disvis. What do the 297 00:13:33,948 --> 00:13:35,948 Speaker 2: Steelers do now? As we mentioned, they are one of 298 00:13:35,988 --> 00:13:38,948 Speaker 2: eight dominance left Steelers are underway. 299 00:13:39,588 --> 00:13:42,228 Speaker 6: I may miss a couple here, Nate Scheelhouse, Chris Sula. 300 00:13:42,668 --> 00:13:45,988 Speaker 6: Shielhouse and Sula both with the Rams. We saw a 301 00:13:46,068 --> 00:13:50,388 Speaker 6: Brian Flores request as well. We saw Jesse Minterer. Jesse 302 00:13:50,468 --> 00:13:53,988 Speaker 6: Minter is scalding hot, the defensive coordinator of the Los 303 00:13:54,028 --> 00:13:56,588 Speaker 6: Angeles Chargers. So the Steelers going about this the way 304 00:13:56,588 --> 00:13:58,988 Speaker 6: that we thought they might, which is skewing toward the 305 00:13:59,068 --> 00:14:02,268 Speaker 6: younger assistance guys that could be there for quite some time. 306 00:14:02,308 --> 00:14:05,348 Speaker 6: And guys that would be in the mold of Mike 307 00:14:05,388 --> 00:14:07,748 Speaker 6: Tom and maybe you know, I don't know the average 308 00:14:07,788 --> 00:14:09,828 Speaker 6: fan has heard the name Nate Shieldhouse, but now you're 309 00:14:09,868 --> 00:14:12,668 Speaker 6: going to hear it extensively. We talked about him as 310 00:14:12,668 --> 00:14:15,788 Speaker 6: a scalding hot offensive coordinator candidate, while now he is 311 00:14:15,788 --> 00:14:19,828 Speaker 6: slipping into scalding hunt head coaching candidate as well. So 312 00:14:19,828 --> 00:14:22,188 Speaker 6: we're seeing a lot of moving parts in Pittsburgh. They're 313 00:14:22,188 --> 00:14:24,188 Speaker 6: going to take a while to settle because they've got 314 00:14:24,228 --> 00:14:25,108 Speaker 6: to go through the process. 315 00:14:25,108 --> 00:14:27,108 Speaker 5: They've got to go through the Rooney rule. 316 00:14:27,348 --> 00:14:29,988 Speaker 6: Yes, which was named for the Rooney is out there 317 00:14:29,988 --> 00:14:32,228 Speaker 6: in Pittsburgh. So they've got to go through the process. 318 00:14:32,228 --> 00:14:34,108 Speaker 6: But they're not panicking. They know it's going to be 319 00:14:34,508 --> 00:14:37,348 Speaker 6: a multi week process for them again expecting to skew 320 00:14:37,428 --> 00:14:40,548 Speaker 6: towards the younger assistant coaches here they go through there 321 00:14:40,828 --> 00:14:41,188 Speaker 6: enough with. 322 00:14:41,148 --> 00:14:43,308 Speaker 8: The Giants and Steelers announced the Cardinals hire. 323 00:14:43,428 --> 00:14:46,108 Speaker 3: Where are we with the Cardinals? Come on, Cardinals? 324 00:14:46,108 --> 00:14:48,788 Speaker 8: Fans want the New York media mark Pittsburgh, Give me 325 00:14:48,788 --> 00:14:50,948 Speaker 8: the Cardinals higher, and I'll take the Titans while. 326 00:14:50,748 --> 00:14:51,188 Speaker 3: You're at it. 327 00:14:52,228 --> 00:14:58,948 Speaker 2: Kyle, Mike Gee, Rashad Ian, thank you very much. A 328 00:14:59,108 --> 00:15:02,708 Speaker 2: high powered, high scoring Rams offense is headed to Chicago 329 00:15:02,908 --> 00:15:05,508 Speaker 2: on Sunday to take on the Bear in the Divisional Round. 330 00:15:05,748 --> 00:15:08,548 Speaker 2: Their head coach the Bears, Ben Johnson, spoke yesterday about 331 00:15:08,988 --> 00:15:11,748 Speaker 2: how his team cannot afford to get behind LA. 332 00:15:13,308 --> 00:15:15,388 Speaker 10: We don't want to put ourselves in a hole against 333 00:15:15,428 --> 00:15:17,988 Speaker 10: a team like this, like like we've done a number 334 00:15:17,988 --> 00:15:20,108 Speaker 10: of times this year. You know, I think we need 335 00:15:20,148 --> 00:15:23,428 Speaker 10: to you know, we talked about playing a complete game 336 00:15:23,428 --> 00:15:26,188 Speaker 10: on offense, like this is the week that that needs 337 00:15:26,268 --> 00:15:29,348 Speaker 10: to happen for us to be able to beat this team. 338 00:15:29,468 --> 00:15:31,548 Speaker 2: It's such a trick because every other Bears game we've 339 00:15:31,588 --> 00:15:33,908 Speaker 2: watched this season, they do get behind on teams and 340 00:15:33,948 --> 00:15:35,548 Speaker 2: somehow they always find their. 341 00:15:35,348 --> 00:15:36,588 Speaker 3: Way clawing back. 342 00:15:36,668 --> 00:15:39,508 Speaker 2: Mike Garrifalo, but he's got a point against this Rams team. 343 00:15:39,548 --> 00:15:42,068 Speaker 2: Mike Gee, what else do we need to see, perhaps 344 00:15:42,108 --> 00:15:44,948 Speaker 2: besides a fast start. In addition to a fast start 345 00:15:45,068 --> 00:15:48,268 Speaker 2: for Bears Rams on Sunday, I. 346 00:15:48,228 --> 00:15:50,068 Speaker 5: Just don't think it's been in their DNA. I just 347 00:15:50,108 --> 00:15:51,748 Speaker 5: think it's been their second half team. 348 00:15:51,748 --> 00:15:53,988 Speaker 6: As a matter of fact, when it was halftime now, 349 00:15:54,108 --> 00:15:57,428 Speaker 6: Kyle had some posts on social media that he assessed 350 00:15:57,468 --> 00:15:59,148 Speaker 6: earlier in the week. His fans are always going to panic, 351 00:15:59,188 --> 00:16:00,668 Speaker 6: and there's one that said we suck. 352 00:16:01,468 --> 00:16:03,348 Speaker 3: You don't suck. Clearly don't. 353 00:16:03,708 --> 00:16:05,948 Speaker 6: But then I saw a was like, relax, this is 354 00:16:05,988 --> 00:16:07,428 Speaker 6: what we do, this is how we go. 355 00:16:07,628 --> 00:16:07,828 Speaker 7: Now. 356 00:16:07,868 --> 00:16:10,388 Speaker 6: I would say, you're looking at a Rams team that 357 00:16:10,548 --> 00:16:13,148 Speaker 6: I thought was going to put the game away early 358 00:16:13,228 --> 00:16:15,748 Speaker 6: last week and then didn't against the Panthers, and the 359 00:16:15,788 --> 00:16:19,548 Speaker 6: Panthers were able to scratching claw here. So look ideally, yes, 360 00:16:19,708 --> 00:16:22,188 Speaker 6: a fast start, but look at this game right here. 361 00:16:22,268 --> 00:16:24,548 Speaker 6: If you don't get it, you've got a team that 362 00:16:24,628 --> 00:16:26,748 Speaker 6: allowed this Panthers team to hang around last week, and 363 00:16:26,788 --> 00:16:28,708 Speaker 6: you've got a team in the Bears where you're. 364 00:16:28,468 --> 00:16:29,188 Speaker 3: Not going to padic. 365 00:16:29,508 --> 00:16:32,988 Speaker 6: I got it right where you want them, Rishut. I 366 00:16:33,028 --> 00:16:35,668 Speaker 6: think it's you want to be in this game early. 367 00:16:35,708 --> 00:16:38,108 Speaker 6: You don't want to be backs against the wall. But 368 00:16:38,388 --> 00:16:40,108 Speaker 6: if you get to that point though, panic Chicago. 369 00:16:40,548 --> 00:16:43,188 Speaker 9: Yeah, Michad, something I want to kind of talk about 370 00:16:43,268 --> 00:16:46,108 Speaker 9: picking backing off what you were saying they did. They 371 00:16:46,108 --> 00:16:48,188 Speaker 9: allowed Carolina to get back in the game. It was 372 00:16:48,188 --> 00:16:51,148 Speaker 9: a little bit scary for a moment, but unfortunately the 373 00:16:51,228 --> 00:16:54,148 Speaker 9: truth is their humors out there playing ball and sometimes 374 00:16:54,148 --> 00:16:56,788 Speaker 9: you play down to the team. 375 00:16:56,508 --> 00:16:57,148 Speaker 7: That you're playing. 376 00:16:57,348 --> 00:17:00,348 Speaker 9: So this game I do not expect at all the 377 00:17:00,468 --> 00:17:03,268 Speaker 9: Rams are going to slip at all. And when coach 378 00:17:03,308 --> 00:17:05,908 Speaker 9: Ben Johnson kind of says, you know, this isn't a 379 00:17:05,948 --> 00:17:07,228 Speaker 9: team that you want to get down on. 380 00:17:07,628 --> 00:17:10,148 Speaker 7: This is not the style of team. Here's why he's talking. 381 00:17:09,948 --> 00:17:11,868 Speaker 9: About that, because they just came playing against Jordan Love, 382 00:17:11,908 --> 00:17:15,308 Speaker 9: but now they're playing against Matthew Stafford. The running backs, 383 00:17:15,548 --> 00:17:18,828 Speaker 9: that duo they combined for two k rushing four hundred 384 00:17:18,868 --> 00:17:22,188 Speaker 9: yards out the backfield. Also Caleb Williams, he was running 385 00:17:22,228 --> 00:17:26,548 Speaker 9: around not from a Parsons, but now he's going against 386 00:17:26,548 --> 00:17:29,668 Speaker 9: the best duo in the NFL. And the defensive end 387 00:17:29,668 --> 00:17:32,388 Speaker 9: with Barron Young and Jared Verson also an upgrade from 388 00:17:32,468 --> 00:17:36,428 Speaker 9: Romeo Dobbs and Christian Watson to now Pooka Nkoop and 389 00:17:36,468 --> 00:17:38,588 Speaker 9: Davonte Adams and three tight ends. 390 00:17:38,628 --> 00:17:40,788 Speaker 7: So I don't think you want to start off slow. 391 00:17:40,868 --> 00:17:43,348 Speaker 9: You have to get fast quick, in a hurry because 392 00:17:43,348 --> 00:17:44,988 Speaker 9: this Rams team is loaded. 393 00:17:46,828 --> 00:17:47,508 Speaker 3: They really are. 394 00:17:48,228 --> 00:17:52,028 Speaker 8: And listen, there are many, many, many positions where the 395 00:17:52,148 --> 00:17:55,348 Speaker 8: Rams guy is better or more experienced or both than 396 00:17:55,388 --> 00:17:57,668 Speaker 8: the Bears guy. And I would probably include quarterback and 397 00:17:57,668 --> 00:17:58,548 Speaker 8: head coaching both of those. 398 00:17:59,028 --> 00:18:00,268 Speaker 3: This is a tough, tough, tough game. 399 00:18:00,428 --> 00:18:02,108 Speaker 8: There's a couple of things that I think Bears fans 400 00:18:02,148 --> 00:18:03,908 Speaker 8: feel that maybe they don't want to say out loud, 401 00:18:03,948 --> 00:18:05,868 Speaker 8: and if you do, they'll say you're lying, but you're not. 402 00:18:06,508 --> 00:18:10,108 Speaker 8: One of which is this is a gravy game, meaning like, 403 00:18:10,908 --> 00:18:13,468 Speaker 8: you lose this game to the Rams and divisional, great season, 404 00:18:14,068 --> 00:18:16,748 Speaker 8: incredible win last week, it's fine, last week against the Packers, 405 00:18:16,748 --> 00:18:20,068 Speaker 8: can't lose that game really tarnishes a lot of the season. Bitter, 406 00:18:20,428 --> 00:18:23,668 Speaker 8: terrible personal fine, you lose this game, you know, thirty 407 00:18:23,668 --> 00:18:27,108 Speaker 8: one twenty Rams, great season, great job, leave happy. I 408 00:18:27,108 --> 00:18:28,948 Speaker 8: think there's some of that going on. The other thing 409 00:18:29,028 --> 00:18:32,428 Speaker 8: is I think Puka Naku could have like eight hundred yards. 410 00:18:32,268 --> 00:18:32,628 Speaker 11: In this game. 411 00:18:32,908 --> 00:18:34,388 Speaker 3: It's He's terrifying. 412 00:18:34,988 --> 00:18:37,148 Speaker 8: If you know this Bears team, you know there's some 413 00:18:37,148 --> 00:18:39,068 Speaker 8: things they're good at, you know somethings are not good at. 414 00:18:39,508 --> 00:18:42,148 Speaker 8: He's I think, top to bottom, he's probably the best 415 00:18:42,148 --> 00:18:44,268 Speaker 8: player in the NFL right now, like at his position, 416 00:18:44,308 --> 00:18:46,428 Speaker 8: pound from pound, I don't think there's anybody who's playing 417 00:18:46,468 --> 00:18:49,388 Speaker 8: better than Puka. He I don't know if the Bear 418 00:18:49,428 --> 00:18:51,388 Speaker 8: secondary is ready for this and I know there's gonna 419 00:18:51,388 --> 00:18:53,228 Speaker 8: be weather, and I know that they are great at 420 00:18:53,228 --> 00:18:55,628 Speaker 8: turnovers and takeaways and all that. I'm just saying he 421 00:18:55,668 --> 00:18:57,828 Speaker 8: could have been hundred yards. It's I don't know what 422 00:18:57,868 --> 00:19:00,348 Speaker 8: the playoff record is. I'm sure that would set one. Mike, Yeah, 423 00:19:00,348 --> 00:19:02,308 Speaker 8: I'm thinking he could have eight hundred yards and I'm 424 00:19:02,308 --> 00:19:05,428 Speaker 8: really worried about that if you're a Bears fane. Okay, 425 00:19:05,748 --> 00:19:09,908 Speaker 8: So Mike brought up the point about these Bears comebacks 426 00:19:09,908 --> 00:19:11,828 Speaker 8: and all this stuff, and you never count them out. 427 00:19:12,268 --> 00:19:16,388 Speaker 8: I've been asked, what is the number whereby you would 428 00:19:16,388 --> 00:19:18,548 Speaker 8: count out the Bears, Like, if they got down by 429 00:19:18,588 --> 00:19:20,268 Speaker 8: this much, you'd be like, they're done. 430 00:19:20,548 --> 00:19:21,388 Speaker 3: I have an answer. 431 00:19:22,148 --> 00:19:25,108 Speaker 8: So we've seen so twenty eight to three in this 432 00:19:25,188 --> 00:19:26,428 Speaker 8: modern era is kind of the standard. 433 00:19:26,428 --> 00:19:29,788 Speaker 3: Not twenty five points. That's four scores. That's that is 434 00:19:29,908 --> 00:19:32,708 Speaker 3: four separate scores. So I think that's possible. 435 00:19:33,108 --> 00:19:35,748 Speaker 8: So my answer is if the Bears get down by 436 00:19:35,828 --> 00:19:37,828 Speaker 8: five scores, I think it's over. In other words, if 437 00:19:37,868 --> 00:19:39,028 Speaker 8: they get down by thirty three. 438 00:19:38,908 --> 00:19:40,268 Speaker 3: Points, that's when I will count them out. 439 00:19:40,428 --> 00:19:44,108 Speaker 8: If they go to the fourth quarter and it's thirty 440 00:19:44,108 --> 00:19:47,708 Speaker 8: eight to thirty eight to thirty five, thirty eight to five, 441 00:19:47,868 --> 00:19:48,588 Speaker 8: they have a safety. 442 00:19:48,748 --> 00:19:49,428 Speaker 11: I think it's over. 443 00:19:49,788 --> 00:19:52,468 Speaker 8: Thirty three points is my mark. If they're down thirty two, 444 00:19:52,468 --> 00:19:53,508 Speaker 8: I still think they can come. 445 00:19:53,348 --> 00:19:55,628 Speaker 5: Back thirty two at halftime or thirty. 446 00:19:55,468 --> 00:19:56,188 Speaker 3: Any point in the game. 447 00:19:56,228 --> 00:19:58,908 Speaker 8: At any that's four touchdowns and four two point conversions. 448 00:19:59,188 --> 00:20:01,788 Speaker 8: So if you want you're like, don't you ever give up? 449 00:20:01,868 --> 00:20:05,188 Speaker 8: Of course, thirty three points is my mark. Down thirty three, 450 00:20:05,228 --> 00:20:07,348 Speaker 8: the Rams are gonna win. Other than that, I still 451 00:20:07,348 --> 00:20:08,668 Speaker 8: think that Bears Cannon will come It. 452 00:20:08,708 --> 00:20:10,428 Speaker 6: Is that if thirty five to three was the Bills 453 00:20:10,508 --> 00:20:11,748 Speaker 6: come back, I believe was the score. 454 00:20:11,868 --> 00:20:14,588 Speaker 8: Frank right, Yeah, Yeah, that's the all I mean, it's 455 00:20:14,628 --> 00:20:17,348 Speaker 8: in that territory. I still would believe it's They've done 456 00:20:17,388 --> 00:20:20,068 Speaker 8: this too many times now, and to Mike's point, the 457 00:20:20,148 --> 00:20:22,228 Speaker 8: Rams kind of just coughed it up against the Panthers. 458 00:20:22,588 --> 00:20:25,188 Speaker 8: So thirty three points is the number. Anything less than that, 459 00:20:25,188 --> 00:20:26,068 Speaker 8: I think they can come back. 460 00:20:26,548 --> 00:20:29,788 Speaker 2: I don't know if it's really bad or really exciting 461 00:20:29,828 --> 00:20:33,668 Speaker 2: that Kyle's never done that before. Picked a numbers difference 462 00:20:33,748 --> 00:20:37,068 Speaker 2: that like he thinks that a team couder could not 463 00:20:37,148 --> 00:20:38,428 Speaker 2: come back from thirty three. 464 00:20:38,468 --> 00:20:38,788 Speaker 7: It is. 465 00:20:39,148 --> 00:20:41,868 Speaker 2: The other layer to this is something that we have 466 00:20:41,908 --> 00:20:43,668 Speaker 2: fallen in love with you on GMFB, which is the 467 00:20:43,708 --> 00:20:47,428 Speaker 2: interaction between the head coaches, specifically any interaction that the 468 00:20:47,468 --> 00:20:50,228 Speaker 2: head coach in Chicago has with anybody else in the NFL. 469 00:20:50,268 --> 00:20:52,308 Speaker 2: Now we know what went down last weekend with Matt Lafleur. 470 00:20:52,988 --> 00:20:56,188 Speaker 2: Now in the weeds is that Mike Lafleur is on 471 00:20:58,308 --> 00:21:01,748 Speaker 2: the Rams staff exactly. Okay, they're on Sean mcvay's staff. 472 00:21:01,788 --> 00:21:04,268 Speaker 2: So Sean McVay was asked yesterday about his relationship with 473 00:21:04,268 --> 00:21:06,068 Speaker 2: the floor Flammy and like kind of how this all 474 00:21:06,108 --> 00:21:07,548 Speaker 2: plays into the Ben Johnson stuff. 475 00:21:09,588 --> 00:21:10,148 Speaker 5: What would you guess? 476 00:21:11,188 --> 00:21:11,388 Speaker 3: Now? 477 00:21:11,468 --> 00:21:11,828 Speaker 11: You know what. 478 00:21:12,668 --> 00:21:13,948 Speaker 3: We watched the tape. 479 00:21:13,988 --> 00:21:15,868 Speaker 6: We do our work, and you know, Matt is a 480 00:21:15,948 --> 00:21:17,948 Speaker 6: very close friend of mine. 481 00:21:20,028 --> 00:21:22,508 Speaker 2: Okay, who wants to pick from that tree? 482 00:21:24,068 --> 00:21:24,748 Speaker 3: I do it. 483 00:21:25,868 --> 00:21:29,508 Speaker 8: Sewn just admitted what's going on here. We watched the tape. 484 00:21:29,668 --> 00:21:31,868 Speaker 8: I think he's talking about the handshake tape and everything 485 00:21:31,908 --> 00:21:33,948 Speaker 8: that's going on, and Matt is a very close friend 486 00:21:33,948 --> 00:21:36,308 Speaker 8: of mine. That's not Sean's usual deal, Like he doesn't 487 00:21:36,348 --> 00:21:38,388 Speaker 8: want to get into that crap.

Now, the Patriots last year they were 582 00:26:35,268 --> 00:26:38,828 Speaker 9: four and thirteen. You joined them. How long did it 583 00:26:38,868 --> 00:26:41,388 Speaker 9: take and what was the thing that made you realize, Wow, 584 00:26:41,868 --> 00:26:44,588 Speaker 9: we actually got a chance to make a Super Bowl 585 00:26:44,628 --> 00:26:45,348 Speaker 9: run on this team. 586 00:26:45,748 --> 00:26:48,148 Speaker 12: I always say that the first thing I saw for 587 00:26:48,268 --> 00:26:52,548 Speaker 12: the first game we that we won was the earlier 588 00:26:52,508 --> 00:26:54,108 Speaker 12: in the year, and we went in the Buffalo and 589 00:26:54,148 --> 00:26:57,148 Speaker 12: won that game. And then throughout the season, you know, 590 00:26:57,628 --> 00:27:01,308 Speaker 12: constantly just stacking wins and just building that confidence weekend 591 00:27:01,388 --> 00:27:04,388 Speaker 12: and week out. We dealt with a couple of injuries, 592 00:27:04,628 --> 00:27:07,308 Speaker 12: but you know when guys like I think we were 593 00:27:07,308 --> 00:27:12,068 Speaker 12: getting pretty healthy around this time of the year. So man, 594 00:27:12,108 --> 00:27:15,188 Speaker 12: it's just I can see it now, like you know 595 00:27:15,228 --> 00:27:17,828 Speaker 12: what I'm saying, Like we're getting healthy at the right time. 596 00:27:19,148 --> 00:27:21,788 Speaker 11: We just beat a pretty good opponent in the first round. 597 00:27:21,788 --> 00:27:24,908 Speaker 12: We've got another good opponent coming up, getting ready for 598 00:27:24,948 --> 00:27:28,628 Speaker 12: that challenge. But the vision definitely is there, and we 599 00:27:28,748 --> 00:27:32,588 Speaker 12: definitely got an opportunity to do something special. But you 600 00:27:32,588 --> 00:27:35,308 Speaker 12: got to keep everything simple, keep doing what we've been 601 00:27:35,348 --> 00:27:38,748 Speaker 12: doing all season long, and you know, the rest to 602 00:27:38,748 --> 00:27:39,508 Speaker 12: take care of itself. 603 00:27:39,668 --> 00:27:41,508 Speaker 2: I have to imagine guys are looking at you with 604 00:27:41,548 --> 00:27:44,308 Speaker 2: the vast experience you have in a postseason run to 605 00:27:44,348 --> 00:27:46,468 Speaker 2: make sure they are handling their business the right way. 606 00:27:46,508 --> 00:27:48,188 Speaker 2: So they're grateful to have you in that locker room. 607 00:27:48,388 --> 00:27:50,148 Speaker 2: You just mentioned it.

However, when you turn 609 00:27:52,988 --> 00:27:56,508 Speaker 2: on the tape from the Texans offense last weekend wasn't 610 00:27:56,508 --> 00:27:59,908 Speaker 2: the most prolific of showings. What have you dissected from 611 00:28:00,028 --> 00:28:02,548 Speaker 2: watching CJ. Stroud try to run whatever the Texans are 612 00:28:02,588 --> 00:28:04,748 Speaker 2: accomplishing on offense and how do you think can take 613 00:28:04,748 --> 00:28:05,348 Speaker 2: advantage of that? 614 00:28:05,828 --> 00:28:08,548 Speaker 12: Obviously, he's still a young player in this league. He's 615 00:28:08,588 --> 00:28:11,428 Speaker 12: still he's still I mean, he's a he's a good player. 616 00:28:11,428 --> 00:28:15,948 Speaker 12: He's still figuring figuring things out. But it ain't really 617 00:28:15,988 --> 00:28:19,628 Speaker 12: about what they do. It's about what we do and 618 00:28:19,708 --> 00:28:22,508 Speaker 12: how we approach every day and what we do as 619 00:28:22,508 --> 00:28:25,468 Speaker 12: a defensive line. I said this, every we've got an 620 00:28:25,468 --> 00:28:28,948 Speaker 12: opportunity to to win the game. And that's with us 621 00:28:29,028 --> 00:28:33,108 Speaker 12: being upfront, no stopping the team from from doing what 622 00:28:33,148 --> 00:28:35,548 Speaker 12: they want to do and creating havoc and you know, 623 00:28:35,908 --> 00:28:38,308 Speaker 12: on us.
