00:00:27,068 --> 00:00:30,668
Speaker 1: news is heavy this morning, as Franco Harris is beloved

7
00:00:30,868 --> 00:00:33,988
Speaker 1: in Pittsburgh within the Steelers organization. He played there for

8
00:00:34,148 --> 00:00:37,388
Speaker 1: twelve years. He was a Super Bowl champion time and

9
00:00:37,548 --> 00:00:40,748
Speaker 1: time again. And this week Franco Harris, we were remembering

10
00:00:40,828 --> 00:00:43,628
Speaker 1: him and talking about that team because of his powerful

11
00:00:43,748 --> 00:00:47,788
Speaker 1: role within the Immaculate Reception. The fiftieth anniversary is on Saturday.

12
00:00:47,828 --> 00:00:51,228
Speaker 1: The Pittsburgh Steelers were going to retire his number on Saturday.

13
00:00:51,308 --> 00:00:54,668
Speaker 1: Franco Harris has passed away, according to the Associated Press,

14
00:00:54,708 --> 00:00:57,988
Speaker 1: at the age of seventy two. We all have memories

15
00:00:58,028 --> 00:01:01,068
Speaker 1: of that game of Franco Harris, his impact on the Steelers,

16
00:01:01,108 --> 00:01:04,028
Speaker 1: the city, the organization. So a couple of minutes on

17
00:01:04,468 --> 00:01:07,228
Speaker 1: us to what we remember about Franco Harris. You know,

18
00:01:07,468 --> 00:01:09,908
Speaker 1: I think for everyone just turning on Good Morning football.

19
00:01:09,908 --> 00:01:12,748
Speaker 1: This news is jarring. Jamie excellent job bringing it in

20
00:01:12,828 --> 00:01:17,148
Speaker 1: just with such fresh eyes. Seventy two years old and

21
00:01:18,188 --> 00:01:22,508
Speaker 1: the Immaculate Reception was being celebrated this weekend fifty year anniversary,

22
00:01:22,788 --> 00:01:25,868
Speaker 1: and we lose Franco on Wednesday morning. We've had him

23
00:01:25,868 --> 00:01:29,308
Speaker 1: on the show so many times, one of the all

24
00:01:29,348 --> 00:01:32,348
Speaker 1: time legends of the NFL, but also the college game

25
00:01:32,388 --> 00:01:36,148
Speaker 1: at Penn State. We know his impact there, the Immaculate Reception.

26
00:01:36,228 --> 00:01:38,348
Speaker 1: Let me explain for everyone what this meant. This was

27
00:01:38,388 --> 00:01:41,988
Speaker 1: the first playoff win ever by the Pittsburgh Steelers. They

28
00:01:42,028 --> 00:01:44,748
Speaker 1: hadn't won a game from nineteen thirty nine to nineteen

29
00:01:44,828 --> 00:01:46,908
Speaker 1: seventy one in the postseason. It was their first game.

30
00:01:47,108 --> 00:01:49,828
Speaker 1: Franco Harris called the first touchdown pass ever for the

31
00:01:49,828 --> 00:01:52,508
Speaker 1: Steelers in the postseason. It was on that play, and

32
00:01:53,108 --> 00:01:55,268
Speaker 1: we were going to be celebrating Franco for the next

33
00:01:55,508 --> 00:01:58,028
Speaker 1: seventy two hours leading up to this amazing NFL Network

34
00:01:58,028 --> 00:02:01,508
Speaker 1: game on Saturday night. It's almost eerie but also poetic

35
00:02:01,628 --> 00:02:03,708
Speaker 1: that we are celebrating the life of Franco Harris, the

36
00:02:03,708 --> 00:02:07,268
Speaker 1: Stealer for playing, retiring his jersey and honoring thirty two

37
00:02:07,308 --> 00:02:10,548
Speaker 1: forever on Saturday night as well. I'm shocked as I

38
00:02:10,628 --> 00:02:12,668
Speaker 1: walk in here, but it's also a beautiful tribute that

39
00:02:12,708 --> 00:02:14,388
Speaker 1: this game is going to be played Saturday night, the

40
00:02:14,468 --> 00:02:19,668
Speaker 1: fifty year anniversary to the immaculate Reception and unbelievable, you know,

41
00:02:20,268 --> 00:02:22,668
Speaker 1: passing of the ships in the night, and yet we're

42
00:02:22,708 --> 00:02:25,388
Speaker 1: here to celebrate Franco's life. And if you look at it,

43
00:02:25,508 --> 00:02:27,348
Speaker 1: I'm a lot younger and I didn't get a chance

44
00:02:27,348 --> 00:02:29,668
Speaker 1: to see Frank o'hiri's play live, But when you look

45
00:02:29,668 --> 00:02:31,668
Speaker 1: at that play, when you hear the way people spoke

46
00:02:31,708 --> 00:02:33,788
Speaker 1: about him, when you see the impact that he had

47
00:02:33,828 --> 00:02:36,508
Speaker 1: on the game, it's incredible and it's a legacy, a

48
00:02:36,508 --> 00:02:39,388
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame guy that just continues to carry on.

49
00:02:39,468 --> 00:02:41,268
Speaker 1: And I think when you look at his life and

50
00:02:41,388 --> 00:02:43,508
Speaker 1: we know how good of a football player he was

51
00:02:43,548 --> 00:02:46,348
Speaker 1: and how dominant was out there, but the way everybody

52
00:02:46,388 --> 00:02:48,508
Speaker 1: talks about him as a man and as a person,

53
00:02:48,948 --> 00:02:51,388
Speaker 1: that's what special. When you finished playing, you live a

54
00:02:51,428 --> 00:02:54,388
Speaker 1: lot longer a life outside the NFL than when you

55
00:02:54,388 --> 00:02:56,388
Speaker 1: were in it, And the way you impact people and

56
00:02:56,428 --> 00:02:59,108
Speaker 1: the way you touch people go a lot longer than

57
00:02:59,508 --> 00:03:03,268
Speaker 1: the immaculate reception. Catching that first playoff touchdown and getting

58
00:03:03,268 --> 00:03:06,228
Speaker 1: that win for the Pittsburgh Steelers. So when I remember

59
00:03:06,308 --> 00:03:08,148
Speaker 1: him and I think about him, I think of the

60
00:03:08,188 --> 00:03:11,228
Speaker 1: words that people use to describe them and the feelings

61
00:03:11,228 --> 00:03:12,988
Speaker 1: that they probably had when they got to be in

62
00:03:13,028 --> 00:03:15,868
Speaker 1: his presence and that special and that's what it means

63
00:03:15,868 --> 00:03:17,788
Speaker 1: to be an NFL player, and that's what it means

64
00:03:17,788 --> 00:03:19,868
Speaker 1: to be a role model and to touch people. So

65
00:03:20,028 --> 00:03:22,628
Speaker 1: very sad to see him go and just want to

66
00:03:22,668 --> 00:03:25,108
Speaker 1: take this time to celebrate his life, to know how

67
00:03:25,148 --> 00:03:27,828
Speaker 1: special that he was to that organization and to so

68
00:03:27,908 --> 00:03:30,868
Speaker 1: many other people, very special. The news is jarring, the

69
00:03:30,988 --> 00:03:33,868
Speaker 1: timing is chilling in this week, as Peter was talking about,

70
00:03:34,428 --> 00:03:38,588
Speaker 1: this is an icon, an icon of Pittsburgh, an icon

71
00:03:38,628 --> 00:03:41,908
Speaker 1: of professional football. You land in Pittsburgh, there's the statue.

72
00:03:41,988 --> 00:03:45,028
Speaker 1: He's in many ways the face of the city of Pittsburgh,

73
00:03:45,388 --> 00:03:48,428
Speaker 1: more so than many other athletes might be. Think of

74
00:03:48,828 --> 00:03:52,068
Speaker 1: Dan Marino in Miami. It is that type of relationship.

75
00:03:52,148 --> 00:03:54,188
Speaker 1: I love the immaculate reception in the sense that it

76
00:03:54,268 --> 00:03:56,948
Speaker 1: keeps the young people involved in things that happened back then,

77
00:03:56,988 --> 00:03:59,148
Speaker 1: and it's this timeless play. If I have any frustration

78
00:03:59,188 --> 00:04:01,228
Speaker 1: with the immacuate reception is that I don't want to

79
00:04:01,268 --> 00:04:03,468
Speaker 1: construed and misconstrued at all that Franco Harris was part

80
00:04:03,508 --> 00:04:08,308
Speaker 1: of some one hit wonder or this was understand wildly productive,

81
00:04:08,388 --> 00:04:12,988
Speaker 1: consistent tough runners, so much so that some history here

82
00:04:13,108 --> 00:04:15,868
Speaker 1: in the mid eighties we look back as the time

83
00:04:15,908 --> 00:04:18,468
Speaker 1: when Walter Payton passed Jim Brown's rushing record, and that

84
00:04:18,548 --> 00:04:21,308
Speaker 1: is this historic moment. And Walter Payton is a god

85
00:04:21,388 --> 00:04:23,828
Speaker 1: in football. Franco was right there with him. He was

86
00:04:23,868 --> 00:04:26,468
Speaker 1: gonna pass Jim Brown's record, and they were right there together.

87
00:04:26,748 --> 00:04:28,628
Speaker 1: The tide shifting on his career. He ends up going

88
00:04:28,708 --> 00:04:30,948
Speaker 1: to Seattle and ends his career one hundred and ninety

89
00:04:30,948 --> 00:04:33,268
Speaker 1: two yards short of Jim Brown's Russian record, which for

90
00:04:33,508 --> 00:04:36,308
Speaker 1: years was a more to less than two hundred yards.

91
00:04:36,348 --> 00:04:40,268
Speaker 1: A great, long time, consistent, tough player. And I have

92
00:04:40,308 --> 00:04:42,388
Speaker 1: a small personal note I'm Franco Harris that has always

93
00:04:42,388 --> 00:04:44,828
Speaker 1: stuck with me and the nineties. I went to college

94
00:04:44,828 --> 00:04:47,268
Speaker 1: with Franco's son. We were in the same class in college.

95
00:04:47,348 --> 00:04:50,668
Speaker 1: Showed up in nineteen ninety seven and we're moving into

96
00:04:50,668 --> 00:04:53,868
Speaker 1: the dorms with our parents. And I was a huge

97
00:04:53,908 --> 00:04:56,468
Speaker 1: football fan and I knew Franco Harris was and I

98
00:04:56,548 --> 00:04:59,428
Speaker 1: see Franco Harris like down the quad and it was

99
00:04:59,428 --> 00:05:01,468
Speaker 1: outside of Butler Dining Hall, and I remember it vividly,

100
00:05:01,588 --> 00:05:03,068
Speaker 1: and I'm saying, my god that I've been telling him Ida,

101
00:05:03,308 --> 00:05:06,348
Speaker 1: that's Franco Harrison. It's freaking out. As an eighteen year

102
00:05:06,348 --> 00:05:08,508
Speaker 1: old who had not been around very many famous people,

103
00:05:08,828 --> 00:05:11,068
Speaker 1: I walked right up to him and I just said,

104
00:05:11,188 --> 00:05:13,868
Speaker 1: are you Franco Harris. Yes I am. I said, you

105
00:05:13,948 --> 00:05:17,028
Speaker 1: made the immaculate reception. He said, yes I did, And

106
00:05:17,068 --> 00:05:20,068
Speaker 1: I said that's crazy. What was that? Like, like just

107
00:05:20,108 --> 00:05:24,908
Speaker 1: the worst, most obnoxious question ever, And immediately, without blinking,

108
00:05:25,028 --> 00:05:26,788
Speaker 1: he says to me, well, you know, I was trying

109
00:05:26,788 --> 00:05:28,468
Speaker 1: to make a play for my team and I saw

110
00:05:28,588 --> 00:05:30,628
Speaker 1: the ball and I was able to get my hands down,

111
00:05:30,628 --> 00:05:32,228
Speaker 1: and then once I got the ball, I just ran

112
00:05:32,308 --> 00:05:33,748
Speaker 1: in my butt off and got to the end zone

113
00:05:33,788 --> 00:05:36,228
Speaker 1: like the story he had told for years, and he

114
00:05:36,348 --> 00:05:38,948
Speaker 1: was so patient and so kind. I got his autograph.

115
00:05:39,068 --> 00:05:42,548
Speaker 1: This is me at eighteen years old, And my reflection

116
00:05:42,548 --> 00:05:44,268
Speaker 1: of him is that he was dealing with his family,

117
00:05:44,628 --> 00:05:46,388
Speaker 1: is talking about a story head for years, and he

118
00:05:46,508 --> 00:05:49,468
Speaker 1: was so gracious and so kind and so sweet. And

119
00:05:49,588 --> 00:05:51,548
Speaker 1: one hell of a football player and one hell of

120
00:05:51,548 --> 00:05:54,268
Speaker 1: a loss for all Pro football today. As we mentioned

121
00:05:54,788 --> 00:05:58,348
Speaker 1: Saturday fiftieth anniversary game between the Readers and the Steelers

122
00:05:58,788 --> 00:06:01,868
Speaker 1: of the Immaculate Reception, and Mike Tomlin's been asked a

123
00:06:01,868 --> 00:06:04,188
Speaker 1: lot this week about Franco Harris and just what he's meant.

124
00:06:04,468 --> 00:06:06,828
Speaker 1: If you haven't seen it, there's a great clip from yesterday,

125
00:06:06,988 --> 00:06:09,988
Speaker 1: head coach of the Stealers, talking about what Jason just said,

126
00:06:10,028 --> 00:06:11,828
Speaker 1: which is I didn't know him as a player. This

127
00:06:11,908 --> 00:06:13,628
Speaker 1: is Mike Tomlin. I knew him as a man and

128
00:06:13,668 --> 00:06:15,308
Speaker 1: what he meant for the city and what he's meant.

129
00:06:15,348 --> 00:06:18,028
Speaker 1: And Mike Tomlin's wife was on a board with Franco

130
00:06:18,148 --> 00:06:20,188
Speaker 1: Harris and he just knew him to his core and

131
00:06:20,228 --> 00:06:23,228
Speaker 1: how impactful he was. And obviously that was ever present

132
00:06:23,228 --> 00:06:25,908
Speaker 1: throughout his life Franco Harris because he was the nineteen

133
00:06:25,988 --> 00:06:28,268
Speaker 1: seventy six Walter Peyton Man of the Year, which is

134
00:06:28,308 --> 00:06:31,308
Speaker 1: another conversation we've been having about how important that is

135
00:06:31,348 --> 00:06:34,828
Speaker 1: for players and what that must mean to teams and cities.

136
00:06:35,068 --> 00:06:37,348
Speaker 1: Another interesting note about Franco Harris, we were just talking

137
00:06:37,348 --> 00:06:39,588
Speaker 1: about this in the makeup room, is that he has

138
00:06:39,668 --> 00:06:44,788
Speaker 1: a fan base. Specifically, it's called Franco's Italian r and

139
00:06:44,868 --> 00:06:47,628
Speaker 1: Frank Sinatra was a member. And there's a picture of

140
00:06:47,748 --> 00:06:51,548
Speaker 1: famous picture of Terry Bradshaw wearing a Franco's Italian Army hat,

141
00:06:51,788 --> 00:06:54,708
Speaker 1: which is fantastic. And I think just to have that

142
00:06:54,748 --> 00:06:58,108
Speaker 1: ever worldly presence and to permeate your personality within a

143
00:06:58,148 --> 00:07:00,428
Speaker 1: city is pretty cool. Yeah, you get to Pittsburgh, you

144
00:07:00,468 --> 00:07:02,628
Speaker 1: fly in, you get to that elevator in the airport,

145
00:07:02,668 --> 00:07:06,108
Speaker 1: there's a statue of Franco har and it is it is,

146
00:07:06,148 --> 00:07:09,188
Speaker 1: it is Omni President. You're walking that I'm in Pittsburgh.

147
00:07:09,228 --> 00:07:12,188
Speaker 1: He is Pittsburgh, and he's Pennsylvania, and he's all of that.

148
00:07:12,268 --> 00:07:14,628
Speaker 1: And you know, he's the only Steeler to score a

149
00:07:14,628 --> 00:07:16,268
Speaker 1: touchdown and every one of their Super Bowl wins in

150
00:07:16,308 --> 00:07:18,308
Speaker 1: the seventies. Like if you go back and go into

151
00:07:18,308 --> 00:07:21,828
Speaker 1: the John Facinda Sam Spence Vault of NFL Films and

152
00:07:21,868 --> 00:07:24,468
Speaker 1: you want to type in nineteen seventies, Franco Harris is

153
00:07:24,548 --> 00:07:26,228
Speaker 1: all over it. And yet to your point, all of

154
00:07:26,268 --> 00:07:28,068
Speaker 1: you guys, it didn't end in the seventies. He was

155
00:07:28,068 --> 00:07:29,868
Speaker 1: a part of our lives in the eighties, the nineties,

156
00:07:29,908 --> 00:07:33,508
Speaker 1: the two two thousand tents right up until today, where

157
00:07:33,668 --> 00:07:36,388
Speaker 1: you know, we talk about Franco Harris as not only

158
00:07:36,388 --> 00:07:38,628
Speaker 1: an NFL luminary, but as like a part of the

159
00:07:38,668 --> 00:07:40,668
Speaker 1: fabric of the NFL in the Shield as a whole.

160
00:07:41,108 --> 00:07:42,948
Speaker 1: I'm at a loss for words because he's always been

161
00:07:42,988 --> 00:07:44,748
Speaker 1: a part of our lives and we could always tend

162
00:07:44,988 --> 00:07:47,348
Speaker 1: to have him on the show, and we're losing not

163
00:07:47,388 --> 00:07:50,548
Speaker 1: only a friend, but a legend to the NFL. This morning,

164
00:07:50,628 --> 00:07:54,868
Speaker 1: absolutely again eighteen Associated Press reporting that Franco Harris has

165
00:07:54,948 --> 00:07:57,708
Speaker 1: passed away at the age of seventy two. Franco Harris,

166
00:07:57,788 --> 00:08:01,068
Speaker 1: a four time Super Bowl champion, the nineteen seventy two

167
00:08:01,308 --> 00:08:04,348
Speaker 1: NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year, the nineteen seventy six

168
00:08:04,428 --> 00:08:07,308
Speaker 1: Walter Peyton Man of the Year, a fantastic man, a

169
00:08:07,388 --> 00:08:10,188
Speaker 1: great player. He will be remembered a Pro Football Hall

170
00:08:10,228 --> 00:08:13,028
Speaker 1: of Famer, a Pittsburgh legend, and just days before the

171
00:08:13,108 --> 00:08:16,228
Speaker 1: fiftieth anniversary of the Immaculate Reception, one of the most

172
00:08:16,388 --> 00:08:19,268
Speaker 1: iconic plays in NFL history, the cornerstone not only of

173
00:08:19,308 --> 00:08:21,868
Speaker 1: that play, but all of those special Steelers teams of

174
00:08:21,908 --> 00:08:25,228
Speaker 1: the seventies has passed away. Frank O' Harris gone at

175
00:08:25,228 --> 00:08:33,988
Speaker 1: the age of seventy two. Back on Good Morning Football.

176
00:08:34,308 --> 00:08:37,308
Speaker 1: A somber tone this morning as we go through our

177
00:08:37,468 --> 00:08:40,828
Speaker 1: week fifteen as we normally would here on Good Morning Football.

178
00:08:41,068 --> 00:08:44,308
Speaker 1: Associated Press has reported that Frank o' harris, Steelers running

179
00:08:44,308 --> 00:08:47,868
Speaker 1: back legend, has passed away at the age of seventy two.

180
00:08:47,908 --> 00:08:50,788
Speaker 1: We just discussed him in his context within our lives,

181
00:08:50,788 --> 00:08:53,388
Speaker 1: within the game of football for several minutes to open

182
00:08:53,388 --> 00:08:55,828
Speaker 1: the show. We will continue to honor and talk about

183
00:08:55,868 --> 00:08:58,268
Speaker 1: Frank o' harris as the rest of our day runs

184
00:08:58,268 --> 00:09:01,348
Speaker 1: through here on the show. But until then, we're going

185
00:09:01,388 --> 00:09:04,068
Speaker 1: to welcome in tom Pella Sero, our NFL Network insider

186
00:09:04,588 --> 00:09:06,908
Speaker 1: Thursday Night Football to look ahead to The Jags are

187
00:09:06,948 --> 00:09:09,028
Speaker 1: traveling to MetLife here in New York to take on

188
00:09:09,108 --> 00:09:11,908
Speaker 1: the Jets tomorrow night. What's the latest with the quarterbacks

189
00:09:11,908 --> 00:09:15,108
Speaker 1: setting into that matchup, well, Jamie. Jets coach Robert Salis

190
00:09:15,108 --> 00:09:18,268
Speaker 1: says that Mike White has not been cleared for contact,

191
00:09:18,308 --> 00:09:22,548
Speaker 1: which means Zach Wilson gets another start on Thursday Night

192
00:09:22,588 --> 00:09:25,708
Speaker 1: against the Jaguars. Sali says that White is a week

193
00:09:25,748 --> 00:09:28,348
Speaker 1: to week evaluation. Of course, they will have a longer

194
00:09:28,388 --> 00:09:32,108
Speaker 1: break before their next game thanks to the Thursday night kickoff.

195
00:09:32,148 --> 00:09:35,428
Speaker 1: But for this week, it's another opportunity for Zach Wilson,

196
00:09:35,468 --> 00:09:37,868
Speaker 1: the former number two overall pick who has moved to

197
00:09:37,908 --> 00:09:40,148
Speaker 1: the bench a month or so ago to try to

198
00:09:40,188 --> 00:09:44,668
Speaker 1: get a reset mechanically and mentally, has another opportunity to

199
00:09:44,748 --> 00:09:47,268
Speaker 1: show that he's made enough growth to make this a

200
00:09:47,268 --> 00:09:51,708
Speaker 1: difficult decision once Mike White is fully healthy. Meanwhile, for

201
00:09:51,748 --> 00:09:55,108
Speaker 1: the Jaguars, Trevor Lawrence once again on the injury report

202
00:09:55,148 --> 00:09:57,588
Speaker 1: because of a toe injury. He was listed as a

203
00:09:57,628 --> 00:10:01,388
Speaker 1: limited participant in practice on Tuesday. This is something that

204
00:10:01,468 --> 00:10:04,068
Speaker 1: Lawrence has been playing with for multiple weeks now, and

205
00:10:04,388 --> 00:10:07,868
Speaker 1: at a really high level. Every expectation he will be

206
00:10:07,908 --> 00:10:10,668
Speaker 1: out there against the Jets in a game with big

207
00:10:10,708 --> 00:10:15,428
Speaker 1: time AFC playoff implications for both these teams. Jamie, absolutely, Tom,

208
00:10:15,428 --> 00:10:18,468
Speaker 1: and that's where our conversation will lead now. Fella, Sarah,

209
00:10:18,508 --> 00:10:20,028
Speaker 1: thank you very much. We'll talk to you later on

210
00:10:20,068 --> 00:10:21,948
Speaker 1: in the show. When the Jaguars come to New York

211
00:10:21,948 --> 00:10:24,228
Speaker 1: to face the Jets tomorrow night. We're going to get

212
00:10:24,228 --> 00:10:26,908
Speaker 1: to see twenty twenty ones first overall draft pick, Trevor

213
00:10:26,988 --> 00:10:29,668
Speaker 1: Lawrence go up against twenty twenty one second overall draft

214
00:10:29,708 --> 00:10:33,268
Speaker 1: pick Zach Wilson. Yesterday, Robert Salom was asked about easily

215
00:10:33,468 --> 00:10:36,908
Speaker 1: people could draw comparisons between these two. You never want

216
00:10:36,908 --> 00:10:40,268
Speaker 1: to compare. Everyone's situation is different, the styles a system

217
00:10:40,348 --> 00:10:42,828
Speaker 1: might be different. How they got to where they are different.

218
00:10:42,868 --> 00:10:45,068
Speaker 1: So it's to me, it's it's not fair to compare.

219
00:10:45,148 --> 00:10:47,468
Speaker 1: And the quarterback position is that it takes time. There's

220
00:10:47,508 --> 00:10:50,868
Speaker 1: quarterbacks through the history of time that needed just a

221
00:10:50,908 --> 00:10:53,908
Speaker 1: little bit longer to find their groove. And so when

222
00:10:53,948 --> 00:10:56,508
Speaker 1: you see Zach, he's got a lot of things that

223
00:10:56,588 --> 00:10:58,548
Speaker 1: you just can't teach. When he is in rhythm and

224
00:10:58,548 --> 00:11:00,668
Speaker 1: he is hitting on all cylinders, it's pretty cool. It's

225
00:11:00,668 --> 00:11:04,668
Speaker 1: pretty cool to watch. All right. Here's a look at

226
00:11:04,708 --> 00:11:07,748
Speaker 1: the AFC playoff picture as it stands. Here we're looking

227
00:11:07,788 --> 00:11:10,748
Speaker 1: at the Jets and the Jaguards, both lurking at the

228
00:11:10,828 --> 00:11:13,908
Speaker 1: nine and ten seeds, respectively. The Jags went out. If

229
00:11:13,908 --> 00:11:16,228
Speaker 1: they do, they win the AFC South, but a win

230
00:11:16,308 --> 00:11:18,308
Speaker 1: for either team tomorrow night would go a long way

231
00:11:18,868 --> 00:11:21,628
Speaker 1: in a fight for a playoff push. So here it

232
00:11:21,628 --> 00:11:23,668
Speaker 1: comes to the question, the game's gonna be played, We're

233
00:11:23,668 --> 00:11:25,468
Speaker 1: gonna find out a winner, and God forbid it's a tie,

234
00:11:25,468 --> 00:11:28,388
Speaker 1: Please do not. It means it has major playoff implications.

235
00:11:28,468 --> 00:11:31,068
Speaker 1: Let's play a game of what if? What if these teams,

236
00:11:31,068 --> 00:11:34,548
Speaker 1: both of them, one of them find themselves in the playoffs? Right, Jay,

237
00:11:34,708 --> 00:11:37,028
Speaker 1: which do you think is a more dangerous playoff team?

238
00:11:37,148 --> 00:11:40,508
Speaker 1: Is it the Jags or the Jets more dangerous playoff team?

239
00:11:40,588 --> 00:11:43,228
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with the Jags here, and they're a

240
00:11:43,228 --> 00:11:45,388
Speaker 1: team that we don't get to see often, but they're

241
00:11:45,468 --> 00:11:48,348
Speaker 1: a dangerous team in the sense that we know what

242
00:11:48,428 --> 00:11:50,708
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence is made off. We know what Travis atn

243
00:11:50,788 --> 00:11:52,868
Speaker 1: is may off, and how those guys have kind of

244
00:11:52,908 --> 00:11:54,908
Speaker 1: taken off late, and you look at him in the

245
00:11:54,908 --> 00:11:57,308
Speaker 1: past two weeks. They've gotten back to back wins, and

246
00:11:57,468 --> 00:11:59,868
Speaker 1: the defense is doing a great job of getting the

247
00:11:59,948 --> 00:12:03,108
Speaker 1: ball in the hands of Trevor Lawrence and allowing him

248
00:12:03,308 --> 00:12:05,308
Speaker 1: to do what he does. In the last two weeks,

249
00:12:05,348 --> 00:12:09,148
Speaker 1: these guys have six turnovers. Six turnovers. They got to

250
00:12:09,228 --> 00:12:11,908
Speaker 1: Ryan Tannehill. That was traybon Walker with a sag Win

251
00:12:11,988 --> 00:12:15,588
Speaker 1: guard and interceptions. Our guy long hair, don't care flowing

252
00:12:15,628 --> 00:12:18,548
Speaker 1: out through the back of his helmet. Shaquille Corterman making

253
00:12:18,588 --> 00:12:21,508
Speaker 1: a hit on Derek Henry. They have seven sacks in

254
00:12:21,548 --> 00:12:24,228
Speaker 1: that span two. And when you can do this on defense,

255
00:12:24,268 --> 00:12:27,308
Speaker 1: and no, they're not dominating out there and shutting opposing

256
00:12:27,348 --> 00:12:30,028
Speaker 1: offenses down, but when you can create turnovers and you

257
00:12:30,028 --> 00:12:31,868
Speaker 1: can get the ball back to the offense, give them

258
00:12:31,908 --> 00:12:35,828
Speaker 1: short fields, give them more opportunities game momentum. These are

259
00:12:35,868 --> 00:12:38,428
Speaker 1: big plays within the game that allow you to come

260
00:12:38,468 --> 00:12:40,388
Speaker 1: back from a deficit like they were facing when they

261
00:12:40,428 --> 00:12:42,988
Speaker 1: went against the Dallas Cowboys. It allows you to put

262
00:12:43,028 --> 00:12:44,908
Speaker 1: a ton of points on the board, like when they

263
00:12:44,908 --> 00:12:47,268
Speaker 1: were playing the Tennessee Titans. So this team, to me

264
00:12:47,668 --> 00:12:51,348
Speaker 1: is dangerous because they're confident, they're feeling themselves. Their coaching

265
00:12:51,348 --> 00:12:54,308
Speaker 1: staff has imparted the wisdom and the ability for those

266
00:12:54,308 --> 00:12:57,028
Speaker 1: guys to go out there and execute and play free.

267
00:12:57,108 --> 00:12:59,468
Speaker 1: You can see it this season. So the Jaguars are

268
00:12:59,468 --> 00:13:01,428
Speaker 1: a very dangerous team if they can find a way

269
00:13:01,588 --> 00:13:03,588
Speaker 1: to slip into the playoffs. All right, I'm gonna push

270
00:13:03,628 --> 00:13:06,428
Speaker 1: back on you because if you came out and you said, look,

271
00:13:06,908 --> 00:13:09,588
Speaker 1: Doug Peterson's been there and he knows it, and you said,

272
00:13:09,708 --> 00:13:11,988
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence the number one pick and he's finally hitting it,

273
00:13:12,468 --> 00:13:14,668
Speaker 1: they give a thirty four points last year. That defa

274
00:13:14,708 --> 00:13:19,468
Speaker 1: You want to talk defense, the Jets defense, Jason, that's

275
00:13:19,468 --> 00:13:22,668
Speaker 1: where we're at right talking defense. I think that I

276
00:13:22,668 --> 00:13:24,548
Speaker 1: think no team wants to see that Jets defense line

277
00:13:24,628 --> 00:13:26,868
Speaker 1: up against them because they hurt you. They're just physical.

278
00:13:26,948 --> 00:13:29,028
Speaker 1: They're just like a nightmare to play. I look at

279
00:13:29,068 --> 00:13:31,228
Speaker 1: those Bills games. Buffalo got the best of them in

280
00:13:31,268 --> 00:13:32,788
Speaker 1: one of them, but the other one the Jets one.

281
00:13:32,828 --> 00:13:34,588
Speaker 1: And I promise you the Bills would not like to

282
00:13:34,588 --> 00:13:36,588
Speaker 1: see the Jets again. Look at the defensive ranks of

283
00:13:36,668 --> 00:13:40,268
Speaker 1: the Jets here talking outdoor football January. I mean, this

284
00:13:40,348 --> 00:13:42,708
Speaker 1: is what I would be scared to see. I'd be

285
00:13:42,988 --> 00:13:45,788
Speaker 1: I'd lose sleep over Lawrence. I would, I would. And

286
00:13:45,908 --> 00:13:48,468
Speaker 1: I think that their defense has is very um what's

287
00:13:48,468 --> 00:13:52,148
Speaker 1: the word opportunistic and they hit the touchdown. Jets store

288
00:13:52,028 --> 00:13:54,468
Speaker 1: are just like a pain in the butt. And I

289
00:13:54,588 --> 00:13:57,788
Speaker 1: look at those Buffalo games. Let's see some footage in here, like, yeah,

290
00:13:57,828 --> 00:14:00,708
Speaker 1: the footagey remember is Mike White getting crushed by Matt Milano.

291
00:14:00,828 --> 00:14:03,388
Speaker 1: But on the other end, Josh Allen has struggled in

292
00:14:03,548 --> 00:14:06,348
Speaker 1: two games. They lost to the Jets in New Jersey

293
00:14:06,628 --> 00:14:08,668
Speaker 1: and then in the rain the Jets even like Sauce

294
00:14:08,708 --> 00:14:11,108
Speaker 1: Gardner don't even throws them on anymore. Quinny Williams is

295
00:14:11,108 --> 00:14:13,268
Speaker 1: supposed to well, I was supposed to do. It's trending

296
00:14:13,308 --> 00:14:17,068
Speaker 1: towards coming back tomorrow night, and we'll play like Lurking

297
00:14:18,388 --> 00:14:21,988
Speaker 1: talking about Mahomes, Alan Burrow, all these guys. They line

298
00:14:22,028 --> 00:14:25,228
Speaker 1: up against the Jaguars, they say, Okayne up against the Jets,

299
00:14:25,228 --> 00:14:29,628
Speaker 1: Oh crap. Now the Jets don't have a quarterback. Jets

300
00:14:29,668 --> 00:14:31,828
Speaker 1: can't move the ball. The Jets are anima gun offense.

301
00:14:31,908 --> 00:14:35,108
Speaker 1: That's all whatever. I'm just talking anyway, football. I don't

302
00:14:35,108 --> 00:14:36,228
Speaker 1: want to see this. I don't want to get beat

303
00:14:36,268 --> 00:14:39,108
Speaker 1: up by Quinny Williams for sixty minutes. It's a good question.

304
00:14:39,308 --> 00:14:41,548
Speaker 1: Jaguars are worthy opponent. And look, it's interesting they both

305
00:14:41,548 --> 00:14:43,388
Speaker 1: can make it because the Jaguars, the way they make

306
00:14:43,428 --> 00:14:45,628
Speaker 1: it is they win the AFC South, they went out,

307
00:14:45,628 --> 00:14:48,388
Speaker 1: they'd beat the Titans. They're in the Jets they can

308
00:14:48,388 --> 00:14:50,308
Speaker 1: make it as a wild cards still, so it's not

309
00:14:50,348 --> 00:14:52,628
Speaker 1: like it's either or it could be both. I personally

310
00:14:52,668 --> 00:14:55,308
Speaker 1: am scared of Lawrence, but I don't want to face

311
00:14:55,868 --> 00:14:59,268
Speaker 1: that Jets depens. I can see where you're gone. But

312
00:14:59,388 --> 00:15:01,348
Speaker 1: the Jets offense is just like, yeah, I don't want

313
00:15:01,348 --> 00:15:02,988
Speaker 1: to play against their defense. They go out there, they

314
00:15:02,988 --> 00:15:04,748
Speaker 1: get the ball back. For the offense, you just go

315
00:15:04,788 --> 00:15:06,188
Speaker 1: back out there to take it away, and now you

316
00:15:06,268 --> 00:15:08,588
Speaker 1: give Trevor Launch a short field. So well, the crux

317
00:15:08,628 --> 00:15:10,588
Speaker 1: of this is like when I think of dangerous, who

318
00:15:10,708 --> 00:15:12,588
Speaker 1: is the team that could be, like, oh my god,

319
00:15:12,628 --> 00:15:15,068
Speaker 1: they beat the Chiefs, like they beat the Bengals they

320
00:15:15,108 --> 00:15:18,188
Speaker 1: win in in wildcard Week and holy crap, the Chiefs

321
00:15:18,188 --> 00:15:20,588
Speaker 1: just got knocked out, or the Bengals or whoever the Bills.

322
00:15:20,708 --> 00:15:23,428
Speaker 1: I tend to go in for that recipe too. I

323
00:15:23,508 --> 00:15:26,188
Speaker 1: tend to go defense as well. I do like maybe

324
00:15:26,268 --> 00:15:28,668
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence puts up forty and they win forty to

325
00:15:28,788 --> 00:15:30,428
Speaker 1: thirty eight. I don't think you're winning that game with

326
00:15:30,508 --> 00:15:32,868
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow or Patrick Mahomes or I just don't. I

327
00:15:33,188 --> 00:15:34,988
Speaker 1: don't think you can get in the shootout with them,

328
00:15:35,028 --> 00:15:37,348
Speaker 1: but I think you can beat them twenty to nineteen.

329
00:15:37,428 --> 00:15:39,108
Speaker 1: And that's why I would say the Jets too. The

330
00:15:39,148 --> 00:15:41,148
Speaker 1: problem is what Jason brought up is like, we gotta

331
00:15:41,148 --> 00:15:42,948
Speaker 1: get to that twenty points, you know, and we're not

332
00:15:42,988 --> 00:15:45,348
Speaker 1: going to score two or three defensive touchdowns. Who the

333
00:15:45,348 --> 00:15:47,588
Speaker 1: hell is playing quarterback for the Jets, And if it's

334
00:15:47,628 --> 00:15:49,748
Speaker 1: Zach Wilson, what the hell are we getting? I just

335
00:15:49,788 --> 00:15:52,308
Speaker 1: don't know. And there's a great theater right now, The

336
00:15:52,348 --> 00:15:54,508
Speaker 1: best theater in New York City right now is watching

337
00:15:54,828 --> 00:15:58,548
Speaker 1: the Jets team leaders talk about Zach Wilson because my gosh,

338
00:15:58,548 --> 00:16:02,068
Speaker 1: they're trying. Sala God Bless them, is putting throwing everything

339
00:16:02,108 --> 00:16:06,228
Speaker 1: against the wall, everything, So then coffee metaphors to we're

340
00:16:06,268 --> 00:16:09,028
Speaker 1: being too hard on him to and then CJ. Mosley

341
00:16:09,068 --> 00:16:11,868
Speaker 1: is doing the same thing that Wilson through an interception

342
00:16:11,908 --> 00:16:13,748
Speaker 1: in this game, and then he came back and played fine,

343
00:16:13,788 --> 00:16:16,068
Speaker 1: and they're like, see that was great. He didn't fold,

344
00:16:16,188 --> 00:16:17,788
Speaker 1: and sal I was like, well, in games past he

345
00:16:17,788 --> 00:16:21,108
Speaker 1: would have folded. So it's all these kind of backhanded compliments.

346
00:16:21,668 --> 00:16:23,948
Speaker 1: You don't have to squint your eyes to read between

347
00:16:23,948 --> 00:16:26,188
Speaker 1: the lines to say that maybe they don't have these

348
00:16:26,268 --> 00:16:30,028
Speaker 1: this unbridled and incredible belief in him or love for him.

349
00:16:30,388 --> 00:16:32,268
Speaker 1: But Mike White has got ribs right now and that's

350
00:16:32,308 --> 00:16:34,668
Speaker 1: the best we can do. So listen, if the Jets

351
00:16:34,708 --> 00:16:37,828
Speaker 1: get to the playoffs, you better believe Mike White's gonna

352
00:16:37,868 --> 00:16:39,468
Speaker 1: be the man and should be the man, and Mike

353
00:16:39,508 --> 00:16:41,508
Speaker 1: White's a cowboy. I can see Mike White beating Joe

354
00:16:41,508 --> 00:16:43,628
Speaker 1: Burrow in a playoff game. I can't see Zach Wilson

355
00:16:43,708 --> 00:16:46,228
Speaker 1: doing it. So we're looking at medical reports and waiting

356
00:16:46,228 --> 00:16:48,508
Speaker 1: and waiting in Palace Erro's and rap reports. I don't

357
00:16:48,548 --> 00:16:50,428
Speaker 1: think Zach Wilson's shown anything to say they can go

358
00:16:50,468 --> 00:16:52,708
Speaker 1: in Arrowhead Stadium more Cincinnati and win a playoff game.

359
00:16:52,748 --> 00:16:54,628
Speaker 1: I think Mike White could. I this is the table

360
00:16:54,908 --> 00:16:56,748
Speaker 1: Sala has been, you know, on the podium and anything.

361
00:16:56,788 --> 00:16:59,388
Speaker 1: How would you play, media trainer? How would you handle it?

362
00:16:59,428 --> 00:17:01,388
Speaker 1: If you're talking to Robert Sala? How would you handle this?

363
00:17:01,428 --> 00:17:03,588
Speaker 1: If we know what's going on. Zach isn't where they

364
00:17:03,628 --> 00:17:05,588
Speaker 1: want them to be, and yet here's Trevor Lawrence, the

365
00:17:05,628 --> 00:17:07,988
Speaker 1: first overall thick How would you handle it? It's tough.

366
00:17:08,188 --> 00:17:11,428
Speaker 1: I think you got to just go cliche heavy, complimentary football.

367
00:17:11,548 --> 00:17:12,788
Speaker 1: He did the thing the other day when he was

368
00:17:12,788 --> 00:17:14,148
Speaker 1: he was kind of brushing back on you know, in

369
00:17:14,188 --> 00:17:16,428
Speaker 1: the instant coffee thing. He's taken so much is so

370
00:17:16,508 --> 00:17:18,588
Speaker 1: much flak, and I understand it. You got to do it.

371
00:17:18,708 --> 00:17:20,348
Speaker 1: But you shouldn't do it. Like I think he's a

372
00:17:20,348 --> 00:17:22,668
Speaker 1: little conflicted. I think he wants to coaching football and

373
00:17:22,708 --> 00:17:24,748
Speaker 1: this is not why he got into football. I don't

374
00:17:24,788 --> 00:17:27,028
Speaker 1: think there's a massive support for Zach Wilson right now

375
00:17:27,068 --> 00:17:28,828
Speaker 1: in the locker room. I'm reading between the lines, but

376
00:17:28,868 --> 00:17:30,628
Speaker 1: they're trying because he's the guy right now. So I

377
00:17:30,628 --> 00:17:33,508
Speaker 1: would just say to Sala, just short sweet in your seat,

378
00:17:33,628 --> 00:17:35,228
Speaker 1: you know, and just hopefully get a win the swag

379
00:17:35,268 --> 00:17:37,508
Speaker 1: in a way as it pertains to Zack Wilson. I

380
00:17:37,548 --> 00:17:39,228
Speaker 1: find it so odd that a couple of weeks ago

381
00:17:39,428 --> 00:17:42,188
Speaker 1: he was getting buried for his you know what he

382
00:17:42,268 --> 00:17:44,268
Speaker 1: said in the postgame interview and the fact that his

383
00:17:44,348 --> 00:17:46,508
Speaker 1: teammates didn't back him up, and you know, do you

384
00:17:46,548 --> 00:17:49,588
Speaker 1: feel responsible for no? It's like like that was not

385
00:17:49,708 --> 00:17:51,708
Speaker 1: good and then no one came to have his back.

386
00:17:51,828 --> 00:17:53,748
Speaker 1: Yet now this week people want to have his back.

387
00:17:53,788 --> 00:17:55,988
Speaker 1: It's strange and it's a strange kind of flipping on

388
00:17:56,068 --> 00:17:58,508
Speaker 1: a dime. And is it because Mike Way plays so well?

389
00:17:58,588 --> 00:18:00,148
Speaker 1: But I'm not gonna go Jets. I am gonna go

390
00:18:00,188 --> 00:18:02,468
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence because I think a shootout in the playoffs

391
00:18:02,508 --> 00:18:04,508
Speaker 1: is exactly what everybody wants to see. And if the

392
00:18:04,508 --> 00:18:06,308
Speaker 1: team is going to beat the Bengals or the chief

393
00:18:06,388 --> 00:18:08,388
Speaker 1: sometimes it is going to be in accordance to a

394
00:18:08,468 --> 00:18:11,428
Speaker 1: quarterback battle. And while I think Zach White or Zach

395
00:18:11,468 --> 00:18:15,428
Speaker 1: Wilson has kind of Trevor Lawrence is doing this and

396
00:18:15,668 --> 00:18:18,548
Speaker 1: it's all at the hands of Doug Peterson. Nothing more

397
00:18:18,588 --> 00:18:21,748
Speaker 1: important to me than the word comfortable, I think with

398
00:18:22,468 --> 00:18:25,428
Speaker 1: this quarterback, with Trevor Lawrence, because this is a guy

399
00:18:25,428 --> 00:18:27,948
Speaker 1: we saw kim out to Clemson who was an absolute star.

400
00:18:28,268 --> 00:18:30,188
Speaker 1: There is a reason why he went where he did

401
00:18:30,228 --> 00:18:34,788
Speaker 1: in the draft. There was massive understood potential there and

402
00:18:34,828 --> 00:18:37,628
Speaker 1: he is finally living up to that. Speaking of giving

403
00:18:37,628 --> 00:18:39,948
Speaker 1: someone some wiggle room to grow, what roberts All is

404
00:18:39,988 --> 00:18:43,628
Speaker 1: asking people to do, Zach Wilson, Hello, arrival of Trevor Lawrence.

405
00:18:43,668 --> 00:18:47,748
Speaker 1: Over the last couple of weeks, Week fifteen of this season,

406
00:18:47,948 --> 00:18:51,108
Speaker 1: he beats the Cowboys. He throws for three hundred eighteen yards,

407
00:18:51,628 --> 00:18:54,828
Speaker 1: four touchdowns, one pick, and he beats the Cowboys in overtime.

408
00:18:55,148 --> 00:18:58,628
Speaker 1: What do you do? Last year Texans lost two hundred

409
00:18:58,668 --> 00:19:02,388
Speaker 1: ten yards, not a TD, not a pick, seventy three

410
00:19:02,428 --> 00:19:06,388
Speaker 1: passer rating. Just these weird nine numbers that we didn't

411
00:19:06,428 --> 00:19:09,228
Speaker 1: really know what to do with last season. He wasn't himself.

412
00:19:09,468 --> 00:19:12,668
Speaker 1: He wasn't feeling comfortable, he wasn't feeling confident. Anyone who

413
00:19:12,708 --> 00:19:14,388
Speaker 1: feels good in the space at they're d that they're

414
00:19:14,428 --> 00:19:17,148
Speaker 1: allowed to operate in and work in. And I'm saying

415
00:19:17,148 --> 00:19:20,348
Speaker 1: all these things to say it was a head coaching problem. Yeah, Jamie,

416
00:19:20,348 --> 00:19:21,588
Speaker 1: he has a human being as a head coach. This

417
00:19:21,628 --> 00:19:24,108
Speaker 1: year he does. Yeah's a real human being. Doug Peterson

418
00:19:24,188 --> 00:19:26,668
Speaker 1: is there. Here's respect there. Doug Peterson puts his guys

419
00:19:26,668 --> 00:19:28,468
Speaker 1: in the right spot. He didn't field up. He's done

420
00:19:28,468 --> 00:19:31,228
Speaker 1: it everywhere he's gone in his career. So Trevor Lawrence

421
00:19:31,268 --> 00:19:32,948
Speaker 1: has talented, but he needed a guy and he found

422
00:19:32,948 --> 00:19:34,908
Speaker 1: it in Doug Peterson. And frankly, I think that to

423
00:19:34,988 --> 00:19:37,668
Speaker 1: me would mean the Jags because we're seeing growth here.

424
00:19:37,908 --> 00:19:40,548
Speaker 1: So come January, Jags are a bigerous in the playoffs

425
00:19:40,988 --> 00:19:46,828
Speaker 1: opening around, Jags would be at home awesome than an interesting.

426
00:19:46,828 --> 00:19:48,868
Speaker 1: A little wrinkle on that too. The Titan still exists

427
00:19:48,868 --> 00:19:50,748
Speaker 1: as an organization. He lost for straight and tag bars

428
00:19:50,788 --> 00:19:52,748
Speaker 1: have one for straight. They might make you waffle. We're

429
00:19:52,748 --> 00:19:55,188
Speaker 1: going to talk teams that make you waff Yeah, yeah,

430
00:19:55,308 --> 00:20:00,988
Speaker 1: I put them on. Come well, coach Frabel's coach in

431
00:20:01,028 --> 00:20:04,948
Speaker 1: the year. Let's go all right Tomorrow night, Sma lawn Springs.

432
00:20:05,028 --> 00:20:07,788
Speaker 1: This high powered Jags offensive met life to take on

433
00:20:07,908 --> 00:20:10,788
Speaker 1: Sauce Garner. Did they even throw his way? We'll see

434
00:20:11,228 --> 00:20:15,108
Speaker 1: Jets defenses dominant. It's Jags Jets Thursday Night Football. That's

435

Speaker 1: to Good Morning Football and more on our breaking news

438
00:20:25,668 --> 00:20:29,148
Speaker 1: out of Pittsburgh. Pro Football Hall of Famer and Steeler's

439
00:20:29,268 --> 00:20:32,748
Speaker 1: legend Frank o'harris has passed away at the age of

440
00:20:32,868 --> 00:20:36,788
Speaker 1: seventy two, just days before the fiftieth anniversary of the

441
00:20:36,828 --> 00:20:41,548
Speaker 1: Immaculate Reception, just days before his uniform number thirty two

442
00:20:41,708 --> 00:20:45,628
Speaker 1: was to be retired at halftime of the Raiders Steelers

443
00:20:45,748 --> 00:20:48,908
Speaker 1: game the Star at Penn State. He made his presence

444
00:20:48,908 --> 00:20:52,708
Speaker 1: felt immediately. As Rookie of the Year, he topped one

445
00:20:52,788 --> 00:20:57,788
Speaker 1: thousand yards rushing in a season eight times. Fellow Hall

446
00:20:57,828 --> 00:21:01,108
Speaker 1: of Famer and roommate of his frequently on road trips,

447
00:21:01,188 --> 00:21:04,988
Speaker 1: Lynn Swan saying quote when the head coach Chuck Noel

448
00:21:05,348 --> 00:21:09,228
Speaker 1: drafted Harris. He gave the offense heart, he gave it discipline,

449
00:21:09,508 --> 00:21:12,228
Speaker 1: he gave a desire, He gave it the ability to

450
00:21:12,308 --> 00:21:16,748
Speaker 1: win a championship in Pittsburgh. He was integral to those

451
00:21:16,988 --> 00:21:22,148
Speaker 1: four Super Bowl titles for the Steelers. During his Hall

452
00:21:22,188 --> 00:21:25,908
Speaker 1: of Fame speech back in nineteen ninety, Harris once said, quote,

453
00:21:25,908 --> 00:21:29,388
Speaker 1: each player had their strengths and weaknesses, each of their

454
00:21:29,388 --> 00:21:34,028
Speaker 1: own thinking, each their own method, just each each had

455
00:21:34,068 --> 00:21:38,428
Speaker 1: their own. But then it was amazing it all came together,

456
00:21:38,828 --> 00:21:42,628
Speaker 1: and it stayed together to forge the greatest team of

457
00:21:42,668 --> 00:21:47,868
Speaker 1: all times. Once again, the NFL world, the football world

458
00:21:48,268 --> 00:21:52,788
Speaker 1: as a whole, mourning the loss of legendary running back

459
00:21:52,868 --> 00:21:56,708
Speaker 1: Frank o' Harris, who passed away at the age of

460
00:21:56,788 --> 00:21:59,988
Speaker 1: seventy two. We will have plenty more on the life

461
00:22:00,028 --> 00:22:03,348
Speaker 1: and legacy of Frank O. Harris throughout the day here

462
00:22:03,868 --> 00:22:08,348
Speaker 1: on NFL Network. Certainly a big loss for the franchise

463
00:22:08,548 --> 00:22:12,668
Speaker 1: and a big loss for the NFL once again. This

464
00:22:12,788 --> 00:22:17,388
Speaker 1: comes days before the fiftieth anniversary of the Immaculate Reception

465
00:22:17,868 --> 00:22:23,148
Speaker 1: and also days before Champion Guys. His uniform number thirty

466
00:22:23,148 --> 00:22:26,948
Speaker 1: two was to be retired at halftime of the Steelers

467
00:22:27,188 --> 00:22:31,708
Speaker 1: Raiders game. Thank you well. It's really sad news this morning, because,

468
00:22:31,788 --> 00:22:34,148
Speaker 1: as we had mentioned, Franco Harris is oftentimes in our

469
00:22:34,188 --> 00:22:36,828
Speaker 1: memories when we reflect on the game and we think

470
00:22:36,828 --> 00:22:39,148
Speaker 1: about answers to questions that we talk about every day

471
00:22:39,188 --> 00:22:41,228
Speaker 1: on this show, the immaculate reception is always a very

472
00:22:41,228 --> 00:22:43,468
Speaker 1: easy one to go to. Therefore, Franco Harris is always

473
00:22:43,468 --> 00:22:46,628
Speaker 1: a very easy guy to talk about, and to consider

474
00:22:46,748 --> 00:22:48,748
Speaker 1: that this week we were going to talk about him

475
00:22:48,788 --> 00:22:52,148
Speaker 1: so much. It's sad. It's really really sad, and what

476
00:22:52,228 --> 00:22:54,508
Speaker 1: he has meant to the Steelers, the organization, and the

477
00:22:54,548 --> 00:22:56,308
Speaker 1: city itself. I'm trying to spend it in a way

478
00:22:56,308 --> 00:22:58,268
Speaker 1: that this is a beautiful tribute. Now we had this

479
00:22:58,388 --> 00:23:01,468
Speaker 1: amazing tribute this weekend and the Raiders playing the Steelers

480
00:23:01,468 --> 00:23:05,028
Speaker 1: in the weekend fiftieth anniversary of the AMA, that reception,

481
00:23:05,308 --> 00:23:08,028
Speaker 1: and now he can celebrate Franco, as Will said, the

482
00:23:08,108 --> 00:23:10,788
Speaker 1: jersey will be forever, thirty two will be his and

483
00:23:10,828 --> 00:23:13,388
Speaker 1: every one and again that was planned long before today's news.

484
00:23:13,668 --> 00:23:16,148
Speaker 1: Oh gosh, let's celebrate the life this weekend. Let's enjoy

485
00:23:16,188 --> 00:23:17,708
Speaker 1: it in what a cool moment it will be a

486
00:23:17,788 --> 00:23:21,148
Speaker 1: New Jersey native, Penn State football product, Franco Harris, a

487
00:23:21,228 --> 00:23:24,108
Speaker 1: four time Super Bowl champion, a Pro Football Hall of

488
00:23:24,108 --> 00:23:28,028
Speaker 1: Famer Pittsburgh legend. Franco Harris gone at the age of

489
00:23:28,148 --> 00:23:41,908
Speaker 1: seventy two. In Dallas, Dak Prescott he might want to

490
00:23:41,948 --> 00:23:45,668
Speaker 1: forget his Week fifteen performance the Cowboys overtime loss to

491
00:23:45,828 --> 00:23:48,988
Speaker 1: the Jacksonville Jaguars. Dack through two picks, including the one

492
00:23:49,028 --> 00:23:52,508
Speaker 1: that would lead to Jacksonville's walk off win. Cowboys owner

493
00:23:52,588 --> 00:23:56,468
Speaker 1: Jerry Jones, however, sounding more upbeat yesterday, how did you

494
00:23:56,548 --> 00:24:00,828
Speaker 1: evaluate Dak's play on Sunday? Outstanding? We can win with

495
00:24:01,068 --> 00:24:03,388
Speaker 1: see him playing? My head to be tried. I thought

496
00:24:03,388 --> 00:24:07,028
Speaker 1: he played outstanding. And as we see, he wasn't playing

497
00:24:07,068 --> 00:24:09,948
Speaker 1: against jap Liver out there, and so I thought he

498
00:24:09,988 --> 00:24:13,108
Speaker 1: did really well. I thought he made good decisions. Overall.

499
00:24:13,988 --> 00:24:16,348
Speaker 1: We can if you'll play like that, we can win

500
00:24:16,428 --> 00:24:21,668
Speaker 1: mostescape all right, So the Eagles are sitting there atop

501
00:24:21,748 --> 00:24:24,068
Speaker 1: the NFC standings with the one seed. They were the

502
00:24:24,108 --> 00:24:27,388
Speaker 1: first team to clinch a playoff wor the Cowboys seated

503
00:24:27,508 --> 00:24:29,668
Speaker 1: at five right now at the top of the wild

504
00:24:29,748 --> 00:24:32,468
Speaker 1: car both teams they have their playoff Berth. They're in.

505
00:24:32,668 --> 00:24:34,668
Speaker 1: They're good. But the only teams to have clinched their

506
00:24:34,708 --> 00:24:37,828
Speaker 1: divisions right now are the Vikings and the forty nine ers,

507
00:24:37,828 --> 00:24:41,268
Speaker 1: So technically the NFC he's still up for grabs. However,

508
00:24:41,268 --> 00:24:43,308
Speaker 1: that could change this weekend. If the Eagles beat or

509
00:24:43,428 --> 00:24:46,948
Speaker 1: tie the Cowboys, they would clinch the division. Let me

510
00:24:46,988 --> 00:24:49,468
Speaker 1: confuse this a little bit more fun more words, the

511
00:24:49,468 --> 00:24:51,708
Speaker 1: Eagles could clinch the NFC with a one seed with

512
00:24:51,748 --> 00:24:55,108
Speaker 1: that win or a Vikings loss or a tie with

513
00:24:55,188 --> 00:24:57,348
Speaker 1: the Giants. But here, let's just make it easy for you.

514
00:24:57,668 --> 00:25:00,148
Speaker 1: Eagles win or tie. It's a really important game. There's

515
00:25:00,148 --> 00:25:02,468
Speaker 1: a ton of storylines to pick a part in this

516
00:25:02,548 --> 00:25:05,188
Speaker 1: early Christmas gift for us. A what are we going

517
00:25:05,228 --> 00:25:06,668
Speaker 1: to have our eyes on when it comes to the

518
00:25:06,708 --> 00:25:09,388
Speaker 1: Eagles taking on the Cowboys on Saturday, Peter, A game

519
00:25:09,428 --> 00:25:12,588
Speaker 1: we have looked forward to for so long it is here.

520
00:25:12,748 --> 00:25:14,668
Speaker 1: Does it lose some of the steam? Now that the

521
00:25:14,708 --> 00:25:18,308
Speaker 1: Cowboys it takes like a lot of them to somehow

522
00:25:18,548 --> 00:25:20,668
Speaker 1: thwart the Eagles the NFC East. Yeah, it does it

523
00:25:20,668 --> 00:25:22,748
Speaker 1: lose a little bit of the steam that it's Gardner Minshew,

524
00:25:22,908 --> 00:25:25,548
Speaker 1: gotta be honest. Yeah, does it lose a little bit

525
00:25:25,548 --> 00:25:27,868
Speaker 1: of the steam now that we see the Cowboys are

526
00:25:27,868 --> 00:25:30,868
Speaker 1: coming off a bad loss to the Jaguars. Yeah, but

527
00:25:31,028 --> 00:25:33,548
Speaker 1: I'm watching. You better believe I'm watching because I want

528
00:25:33,588 --> 00:25:35,508
Speaker 1: to see what we get from Dak Prescott. Jerry Jones's

529
00:25:35,548 --> 00:25:38,948
Speaker 1: quote was mind bending for me. He thought Dak Preston

530
00:25:39,028 --> 00:25:43,148
Speaker 1: played outstanding last week. I don't know what was standing

531
00:25:43,228 --> 00:25:46,308
Speaker 1: about this performance. They're up twenty seven to ten and Dak,

532
00:25:46,428 --> 00:25:48,548
Speaker 1: you know, through a game, losing pick at the end,

533
00:25:48,548 --> 00:25:50,588
Speaker 1: and you could say, well, that one was really not

534
00:25:50,668 --> 00:25:53,308
Speaker 1: his fault. It was a great play by the defensive player. Oh,

535
00:25:53,428 --> 00:25:55,228
Speaker 1: it was a bad pass to Noah Brown. It was bad.

536
00:25:56,468 --> 00:25:58,428
Speaker 1: I'm a huge Dak supporter on the show, and I

537
00:25:58,428 --> 00:26:01,628
Speaker 1: think that Dak is a franchise quarterback. But in his

538
00:26:01,708 --> 00:26:04,228
Speaker 1: last six games, he started an interception in five of them,

539
00:26:04,228 --> 00:26:07,428
Speaker 1: and four of the six he's throwing two interceptions in

540
00:26:07,508 --> 00:26:11,868
Speaker 1: those games. The Eagles defense isn't injured, Hassan Reddick's still coming.

541
00:26:12,468 --> 00:26:14,588
Speaker 1: You better believe Fletcher Cox and the Boys are bringing

542
00:26:14,628 --> 00:26:16,988
Speaker 1: this thing. The Eagles want to win this game, and

543
00:26:17,028 --> 00:26:19,188
Speaker 1: I gotta see what Dak Prescott is gonna bring it

544
00:26:19,268 --> 00:26:22,148
Speaker 1: to the table. Because Kyle you say it so many

545
00:26:22,188 --> 00:26:23,988
Speaker 1: times on the show, and you say it's so eloquently.

546
00:26:24,148 --> 00:26:29,468
Speaker 1: Are the Cowboys good? Yes? Are the Cowboys special? I

547
00:26:29,548 --> 00:26:32,508
Speaker 1: don't know. I'm watching Dak Prescott here. The Eagles are

548
00:26:32,508 --> 00:26:34,868
Speaker 1: favorite and their favorite big in this game. Everyone thinks

549
00:26:34,868 --> 00:26:37,828
Speaker 1: that the Cowboys are favorite. I'm sorry, Cowboys are favorite

550
00:26:37,828 --> 00:26:39,348
Speaker 1: and the Cowboys are favorite big in this game. I

551
00:26:39,388 --> 00:26:41,508
Speaker 1: think everyone's expecting the Eagles to either take the foot

552
00:26:41,548 --> 00:26:43,388
Speaker 1: off the gas They're not gonna be the same without Minshoe,

553
00:26:43,468 --> 00:26:45,188
Speaker 1: or that they don't need this game as much as Dallas.

554
00:26:45,268 --> 00:26:48,228
Speaker 1: Dallas should win this game. Dak should play a clean game.

555
00:26:48,348 --> 00:26:50,668
Speaker 1: I'm fascinated to see if that Eagles defense gets after

556
00:26:50,788 --> 00:26:52,748
Speaker 1: him and if Dak is shaky again. You cannot win

557
00:26:52,828 --> 00:26:54,548
Speaker 1: games in the playoffs if you throw one, two, three

558
00:26:54,588 --> 00:26:57,508
Speaker 1: interceptions in a game. To me, it's interesting because though

559
00:26:57,548 --> 00:26:59,748
Speaker 1: they are not the team that's on top of the standings,

560
00:26:59,828 --> 00:27:02,268
Speaker 1: they are expected to win this game and the playoffs.

561
00:27:02,308 --> 00:27:03,908
Speaker 1: They're most likely going on the road. They're not gonna

562
00:27:03,908 --> 00:27:05,428
Speaker 1: be expected to in any of these games. You gotta

563
00:27:05,428 --> 00:27:06,948
Speaker 1: take care of business this week and against the Eagles.

564
00:27:06,948 --> 00:27:09,108
Speaker 1: I don't care if it's division rivals, one laws Eagles

565
00:27:09,188 --> 00:27:11,348
Speaker 1: or what. Dac needs to have a game and silence

566
00:27:11,428 --> 00:27:13,668
Speaker 1: all the doubters. Jerry Jones might be as big a supporter,

567
00:27:13,828 --> 00:27:15,388
Speaker 1: I might not be on that same train. From what

568
00:27:15,428 --> 00:27:17,028
Speaker 1: I've seen in the last couple of weeks. I'm with you,

569
00:27:17,108 --> 00:27:19,548
Speaker 1: I'm with Dak. I think maybe thirty five forty million

570
00:27:19,588 --> 00:27:21,108
Speaker 1: people are gonna watch this game. He needs to have

571
00:27:21,148 --> 00:27:23,308
Speaker 1: a moment. This needs to be his night. Because here's

572
00:27:23,308 --> 00:27:26,828
Speaker 1: the deal. In the Dak conversation, in the media and

573
00:27:27,108 --> 00:27:29,148
Speaker 1: in the bars and the stands, there's a lot of

574
00:27:29,148 --> 00:27:33,028
Speaker 1: different opinions. He's good, he's great, he's elite, he's he's overpaid.

575
00:27:33,028 --> 00:27:35,268
Speaker 1: Who blah blah blah blah blah. The one weapon that

576
00:27:35,388 --> 00:27:39,108
Speaker 1: the Cowboys fans and Dak supporters always have. It's just

577
00:27:39,308 --> 00:27:41,388
Speaker 1: right here in the inside pocket. And they set it

578
00:27:41,428 --> 00:27:44,188
Speaker 1: down and they say, Dak against the Eagles, Dak against

579
00:27:44,228 --> 00:27:46,588
Speaker 1: the Eagles, he owns them, he beats them. Say whatever

580
00:27:46,628 --> 00:27:49,708
Speaker 1: you want, Dak always plays great and beats the Eagles.

581
00:27:49,908 --> 00:27:51,828
Speaker 1: Gotta do it now. You don't want to lose that

582
00:27:51,868 --> 00:27:54,268
Speaker 1: weapon because the first time they played around, Dack was injured.

583
00:27:54,308 --> 00:27:56,868
Speaker 1: This year, he was not there that Trump cards supposedly

584
00:27:56,908 --> 00:27:59,508
Speaker 1: the Cowboys fans and Dak fans throw down. Not only

585
00:27:59,548 --> 00:28:01,428
Speaker 1: are you losing to the Eagles, you're losing the Eagles

586
00:28:01,428 --> 00:28:03,628
Speaker 1: with a backup quarterback on your home field. That would

587
00:28:03,628 --> 00:28:07,108
Speaker 1: be a terrible, terrible, terrible loss and confirm all of

588
00:28:07,148 --> 00:28:10,668
Speaker 1: our suspicions. As Peter said, sure, this Cowboys team is good,

589
00:28:10,868 --> 00:28:13,428
Speaker 1: blah blah blah. I've seen a million good Cowboys teams

590
00:28:13,468 --> 00:28:15,388
Speaker 1: and own amount to anything. I feel like this game

591
00:28:15,428 --> 00:28:18,028
Speaker 1: should be thirty one to twenty Dallas, like you're they

592
00:28:18,068 --> 00:28:20,788
Speaker 1: have their backup, they're superstar, their MVP is out. You

593
00:28:20,868 --> 00:28:23,548
Speaker 1: got your guys. They're coming here. You're the Cowboys. They're

594
00:28:23,588 --> 00:28:25,428
Speaker 1: not beat them, beat them convincingly. And I'd do it

595
00:28:25,428 --> 00:28:27,108
Speaker 1: on Dak's shoulders. I would like to Dact to have

596
00:28:27,188 --> 00:28:29,068
Speaker 1: a night. And it's not about Jaylon or it's not

597
00:28:29,068 --> 00:28:31,188
Speaker 1: about We're more interested in Garner Minshew. Right now they

598
00:28:31,188 --> 00:28:32,988
Speaker 1: are in Dak Prescott. He should be pissed about that,

599
00:28:33,028 --> 00:28:35,268
Speaker 1: and he should perform on that. Cooper Rush already kind

600
00:28:35,268 --> 00:28:37,508
Speaker 1: of took care of business in the namesake of backup

601
00:28:37,588 --> 00:28:40,108
Speaker 1: quarterbacks this season, Like this is where you earn your money,

602
00:28:40,148 --> 00:28:42,708
Speaker 1: This is why you're brought on to a roster, Gardner Minshew,

603
00:28:42,748 --> 00:28:47,068
Speaker 1: you have an opportunity here to retain Minshew mania, to

604
00:28:47,188 --> 00:28:49,908
Speaker 1: make sure that you just keep the boat steady, Eddie. No,

605
00:28:49,948 --> 00:28:51,908
Speaker 1: one's not on the offensive line. You still have your

606
00:28:51,988 --> 00:28:54,508
Speaker 1: running backs, you still have your wide receivers. Gardner Minshew,

607
00:28:54,748 --> 00:28:57,348
Speaker 1: just maintain what you have going on. Already, he said,

608
00:28:57,388 --> 00:29:00,628
Speaker 1: four pass attempts this season with the Eagles. So let's

609
00:29:00,628 --> 00:29:02,828
Speaker 1: look back at what he did in his two starts

610
00:29:02,828 --> 00:29:05,108
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty one. He actually played the Cowboys. He

611
00:29:05,108 --> 00:29:07,468
Speaker 1: had one hundred and eighty six yards. They lost to

612
00:29:07,508 --> 00:29:09,588
Speaker 1: the Cowboys. Now he's already got a bounce back moment

613
00:29:09,628 --> 00:29:12,428
Speaker 1: from there. Twenty nineteen, though, that was where minsheu many

614
00:29:12,468 --> 00:29:15,188
Speaker 1: it was born six and sixth record. That's fine with

615
00:29:15,268 --> 00:29:18,188
Speaker 1: Jacksonville Jaguarth, but he through twenty one passing interceptions. Take

616
00:29:18,228 --> 00:29:21,028
Speaker 1: care of the ball this weekend. I no, that's not exciting,

617
00:29:21,068 --> 00:29:24,428
Speaker 1: it's not sexy. But you have a great team around you. Frankly,

618
00:29:24,468 --> 00:29:26,348
Speaker 1: it's a lot of why Jalen Hurts is having such

619
00:29:26,348 --> 00:29:29,388
Speaker 1: an unbelievable season. But Gardner Minshew, come in and be

620
00:29:29,428 --> 00:29:31,708
Speaker 1: the reason why you are there, the reason why you

621
00:29:31,748 --> 00:29:35,268
Speaker 1: were considered to battle for this job a while back

622
00:29:35,268 --> 00:29:37,228
Speaker 1: in the offseason. But there's a reason why you're there,

623
00:29:37,228 --> 00:29:39,108
Speaker 1: why you're being paid to be the backup quarterback for

624
00:29:39,148 --> 00:29:41,668
Speaker 1: the Eagles. On a personal note, Gardner Minshew excused from

625
00:29:41,668 --> 00:29:43,868
Speaker 1: walk through yesterday from the Eagles walk through to go

626
00:29:43,948 --> 00:29:47,188
Speaker 1: to Mike Leach's funeral and speak there. So he played

627
00:29:47,228 --> 00:29:49,748
Speaker 1: for Mike Leach in his final season at Washington State,

628
00:29:49,788 --> 00:29:52,348
Speaker 1: so he had this really amazing connection. A heavy week

629
00:29:52,428 --> 00:29:54,548
Speaker 1: potentially for Gardner Minshew, but also a moment for him

630
00:29:54,588 --> 00:29:56,588
Speaker 1: to rise to an occasion that feels like a big spot.

631
00:29:56,628 --> 00:29:59,828
Speaker 1: I would advise everyone to find the eulogy that he gave.

632
00:29:59,868 --> 00:30:03,068
Speaker 1: It's online. Minshew was beautiful at the podium talking at

633
00:30:03,108 --> 00:30:05,868
Speaker 1: the ceremony or the survey for Mike Leach. What an

634
00:30:05,868 --> 00:30:08,828
Speaker 1: emotional wild ride for Gardner Minshew. Now forty million Americans

635
00:30:08,828 --> 00:30:10,988
Speaker 1: are gonna watching him play against the Dallas Cowboys. Pretty

636
00:30:10,988 --> 00:30:12,828
Speaker 1: crazy week. Yeah, And I would say from what we've

637
00:30:12,828 --> 00:30:15,788
Speaker 1: seen from Minshew throughout his career, like he's somebody that

638
00:30:15,828 --> 00:30:18,548
Speaker 1: can handle this scene. Looks like he's never shied away

639
00:30:18,588 --> 00:30:20,988
Speaker 1: from the moment or the pressure. He's ready to go

640
00:30:21,028 --> 00:30:23,628
Speaker 1: out there and have a performance. This week and as

641
00:30:23,668 --> 00:30:26,148
Speaker 1: I look at Gardner Minshew and we always talk about

642
00:30:26,188 --> 00:30:28,988
Speaker 1: the Eagles offensive line, and obviously on the other side,

643
00:30:29,028 --> 00:30:31,348
Speaker 1: they're going against the Dallas Cowboys. Who has a guy

644
00:30:31,428 --> 00:30:34,148
Speaker 1: by the name of Michael Parsons. And not too long

645
00:30:34,188 --> 00:30:36,588
Speaker 1: ago he was on vomitlist podcast and he has some

646
00:30:36,668 --> 00:30:40,028
Speaker 1: things to say about Jael and Hurts and the Eagles team.

647
00:30:40,108 --> 00:30:42,748
Speaker 1: Can we take a listen to it here, look at Hughes.

648
00:30:43,188 --> 00:30:46,588
Speaker 1: Is it Hurts or the team? I think it's a

649
00:30:46,588 --> 00:30:49,788
Speaker 1: little bit of both man. I think it's I think

650
00:30:49,828 --> 00:30:53,108
Speaker 1: it system and team. I think it's a little bit

651
00:30:53,108 --> 00:30:54,948
Speaker 1: of both man. Because they got a great deep they

652
00:30:54,988 --> 00:30:57,788
Speaker 1: got a great offensive line, which helps Hurts. Hurts has

653
00:30:57,908 --> 00:31:00,588
Speaker 1: a j Brown and Devanta Smith. They got a good

654
00:31:00,668 --> 00:31:03,988
Speaker 1: running game. I mean said the scheme that the scheme

655
00:31:04,068 --> 00:31:10,308
Speaker 1: that they old line, I mean bur like like and

656
00:31:10,428 --> 00:31:13,508
Speaker 1: his Eagle Cowboys, the Eagle Cowboys coming up, and yeah,

657
00:31:13,548 --> 00:31:16,548
Speaker 1: it's coming up. I'm not trying to make no enemies.

658
00:31:17,828 --> 00:31:20,268
Speaker 1: Just a week ago, as the Eagles are getting ready

659
00:31:20,308 --> 00:31:22,828
Speaker 1: to play against the Bears, Michael Parsons was talking about

660
00:31:22,828 --> 00:31:25,388
Speaker 1: the Eagles in their offense and as jillen Hurst really

661
00:31:25,428 --> 00:31:28,348
Speaker 1: the guys that the system. What isn't in for Michael Parsons,

662
00:31:28,388 --> 00:31:30,188
Speaker 1: he feels as though he feels as though that is

663
00:31:30,268 --> 00:31:32,868
Speaker 1: his truth. Does that make it the overall truth? Does

664
00:31:32,908 --> 00:31:35,708
Speaker 1: that make it factual? I don't know. The Eagles gonna

665
00:31:35,708 --> 00:31:37,188
Speaker 1: have a lot to say about it, and Jordan my

666
00:31:37,308 --> 00:31:39,668
Speaker 1: Alotta as a guy who definitely is gonna have a

667
00:31:39,668 --> 00:31:41,668
Speaker 1: lot to say about it. They'll be matched up a

668
00:31:41,708 --> 00:31:44,788
Speaker 1: ton come this weekend. And my Alatta was asked about

669
00:31:44,788 --> 00:31:46,908
Speaker 1: it as they prepared for the Bears last week, and

670
00:31:46,948 --> 00:31:49,188
Speaker 1: he said to him, I don't worry about that, mate,

671
00:31:49,188 --> 00:31:52,148
Speaker 1: I'm focused on the Chicago Bears. He says, I don't
