Speaker 3: Is that correct? All right? One hundred percent?

16
00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:59,960
Speaker 2: I usually introduce Mike first, but Mike's not here tonight. Unfortunately,

17
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:03,760
Speaker 2: at the taping of this podcast, Mike lost his voice.

18
00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:05,880
Speaker 3: He has no voice whatsoever.

19
00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:08,160
Speaker 2: He tried to gut it out on his show with

20
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:10,959
Speaker 2: Jason Smith with Mike Sharp with Mike Harmon that you

21
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:14,720
Speaker 2: can hear weeknights on Fox Sports Radio. Mike tried to

22
00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:17,679
Speaker 2: give it a go. Thirty minutes in, had to throw

23
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:20,319
Speaker 2: in the white towel. The guy probably needs yeah, just

24
00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:23,880
Speaker 2: see you later. He got booted, but I give him

25
00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:26,800
Speaker 2: an a for effort and he probably needs to rest

26
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:29,200
Speaker 2: because he's usually awake like twenty one out of the

27
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:31,800
Speaker 2: twenty four hours of the day, so hopefully he can

28
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:32,520
Speaker 2: get some rest.

29
00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:34,200
Speaker 3: But Mike is not going to be with us.

30
00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:38,360
Speaker 2: I know he's kicking himself because Ian it's championship weekend

31
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:40,480
Speaker 2: or it just was in the NFL, and there's so

32
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:42,600
Speaker 2: much to talk about as we've got the.

33
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:44,760
Speaker 3: Super Bowl matchup that is set.

34
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:48,200
Speaker 2: It is the Eagles and Chiefs, a matchup that I

35
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:51,120
Speaker 2: must say, you predicted on our last podcast that you

36
00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:54,440
Speaker 2: thought that we would see. I had Eagles bills and

37
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:58,440
Speaker 2: Mike had Eagles bills, and I was trying to figure

38
00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:00,880
Speaker 2: out what my prediction was going to be for what

39
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:04,000
Speaker 2: my heart said, what my head said. Then to Mike's point,

40
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:06,200
Speaker 2: Mike had Philadelphia in the Super Bowl from the beginning

41
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:08,320
Speaker 2: of the year. I had the Bills in the Super Bowl.

42
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:09,840
Speaker 2: I think he may have had the Bills as well,

43
00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:13,040
Speaker 2: so his Super Bowl pick was still alive. I only

44
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:14,840
Speaker 2: had the Bills on that side, so I went with

45
00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:18,120
Speaker 2: the Bills. It's also where my heart was. But it

46
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:24,240
Speaker 2: was a weekend, quite honestly, on Sunday of disappointment. I

47
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:27,720
Speaker 2: was disappointed that the Eagles game became such a blow up,

48
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:30,800
Speaker 2: and I was honestly just disappointed that the Bills lost

49
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:31,560
Speaker 2: to the Chiefs won.

50
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:33,040
Speaker 3: That basically sums up.

51
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:34,240
Speaker 2: I didn't have a dog in the fight in the

52
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:37,160
Speaker 2: NFC Championship game, and I felt if the team really

53
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:38,840
Speaker 2: did deserve to get the Super Bowl, it.

54
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:40,200
Speaker 3: Was probably Philadelphia.

55
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:43,120
Speaker 2: But I wanted to see then Philadelphia against Buffalo for

56
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:46,239
Speaker 2: that matchup, and instead we get a rematch that we

57
00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 2: got from two years ago.

58
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:49,359
Speaker 3: I don't know if I'm in the minority.

59
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:51,520
Speaker 2: I don't think so unless everybody that I'm following on

60
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:52,440
Speaker 2: social media.

61
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:54,640
Speaker 3: Is the only people that are like me.

62
00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:57,800
Speaker 2: But I'm a little bit disappointed from a matchup even

63
00:02:57,840 --> 00:02:59,320
Speaker 2: though we've got two of the best teams in the

64
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:00,400
Speaker 2: National football.

65
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:01,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, everyone's disappointed.

66
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:04,480
Speaker 5: It's like I said it last week on the show,

67
00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:07,359
Speaker 5: before I made that prediction that it would be Eagles Chiefs,

68
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:11,400
Speaker 5: I said, I would prefer that it's you know, Commander's Bills.

69
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:13,760
Speaker 5: That would be the best case scenario, and instead we

70
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:16,200
Speaker 5: literally got the worst case scenario. Brandon, you know are

71
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:19,959
Speaker 5: editor Brandon Deutsch's he's been calling it Hitler versus Mussolini.

72
00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:23,840
Speaker 4: Is this cheese Chiefs Eagles matchup?

73
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:29,120
Speaker 2: There is a tough choice to root for. People will

74
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:31,960
Speaker 2: usually root for a Super Bowl if they're a sports

75
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:35,680
Speaker 2: fan like you am like you are, and I am Ian.

76
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:40,000
Speaker 2: You're a Jets fan. I'm a Seahawks fan. I wouldn't

77
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:43,160
Speaker 2: cheer for a team from the NFC West. Just wouldn't happen.

78
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:46,600
Speaker 2: I don't know if you have any sentimental feelings towards

79
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:49,320
Speaker 2: the Buffalo Bills, like so many do, considering they're a

80
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 2: division rival.

81
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:55,120
Speaker 5: But yeah, I'll say, personally, I'm not. I'm not rooting

82
00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:57,360
Speaker 5: for them. I can't, like you said, I can't root

83
00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:00,960
Speaker 5: for a division rival. So I'm, you know, unfortunately, going

84
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:02,920
Speaker 5: to kind of be pulling for the Chiefs here. Although

85
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:06,280
Speaker 5: again give back to the Hitler mussol anything.

86
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:09,560
Speaker 4: It is just there's no winning this one.

87
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:14,280
Speaker 2: The funny thing with the Buffalo Kansas City game, and

88
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:16,320
Speaker 2: we'll just start there. We'll get to the Eagles and

89
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:20,280
Speaker 2: Commanders a little bit later of the podcast. The thing

90
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:23,880
Speaker 2: about the Buffalo Kansas City game was we knew this

91
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:26,320
Speaker 2: is how it was going to play out. We knew

92
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:29,839
Speaker 2: this is what was going to happen. And even during

93
00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:34,320
Speaker 2: the game, my Sunday co host Carrie Rhodes, the show

94
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:37,680
Speaker 2: that you produce for us on Sunday afternoons on Fox

95
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:42,200
Speaker 2: Sports Radio, Carrie sends me a text and I'll even

96
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:46,080
Speaker 2: read it verbatim because I think we were both pulling

97
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:52,000
Speaker 2: for the for the Bills in this scenario. Carrie ends

98
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:56,599
Speaker 2: up texting me, got a ballgame, and ill right, I

99
00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:59,240
Speaker 2: keep thinking the more the Bills get close, the more

100
00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:03,040
Speaker 2: it will end heartbreak for them. And he texts me back,

101
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:08,599
Speaker 2: heartbreak again and the toughest the toughest part of the

102
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:12,400
Speaker 2: game on Sunday for the Bills to me, wasn't that

103
00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:17,080
Speaker 2: Josh Allen fourth and five Dalton Kincaid drop. It was

104
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:19,840
Speaker 2: the missed call. What I feel was a missed call

105
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:20,560
Speaker 2: on the fourth.

106
00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:22,479
Speaker 5: And one, yeah, where he was short well because one

107
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:24,640
Speaker 5: line judge literally had him as making it and the

108
00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:27,640
Speaker 5: other one was no. So I mean, yeah, it comes

109
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:29,880
Speaker 5: down to it. It's always with the Chiefs. It's these

110
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:32,520
Speaker 5: refs and the questionable calls and stuff.

111
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:32,919
Speaker 4: I don't know.

112
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:36,680
Speaker 5: I thought this one was a little less fishy compared

113
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:39,640
Speaker 5: to the Texans game last week. I like, really that

114
00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:42,200
Speaker 5: that fourth down call there with Josh Allen being short,

115
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:46,520
Speaker 5: it was really the only you know call that It

116
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:48,760
Speaker 5: really seemed like the refs really messed up.

117
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:50,040
Speaker 3: Is a big oney in it.

118
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:51,600
Speaker 4: I mean it was, it was.

119
00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:52,120
Speaker 3: A big one.

120
00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:54,040
Speaker 5: But I will say that there's plenty of other things

121
00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:56,680
Speaker 5: that went into it as opposed, Like if if the

122
00:05:56,720 --> 00:06:00,640
Speaker 5: game comes down to literal inches like that, then did

123
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:02,000
Speaker 5: the Bills really deserve to win?

124
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:05,960
Speaker 2: Well, did the Chiefs deserve to win if it came

125
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:08,839
Speaker 2: down to that and in that close of a call?

126
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:12,360
Speaker 2: I think is the other side of the coin with this.

127
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:15,200
Speaker 5: If that was the game, I would agree more. But

128
00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:17,000
Speaker 5: the fact that the game didn't come down to that

129
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:20,200
Speaker 5: exact play, it's hard to legitimately say that, Oh, here

130
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:20,640
Speaker 5: we go.

131
00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:22,440
Speaker 4: All hypotheticals.

132
00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:24,680
Speaker 3: I get it. It is all hypotheticals.

133
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:27,160
Speaker 2: And if you just go to the scenario, there's about

134
00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:30,160
Speaker 2: eleven minutes left in the game, It's twenty two to

135
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:33,680
Speaker 2: twenty one at that point. What ends up happening after

136
00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:36,400
Speaker 2: the no call is the Chiefs go down and score.

137
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:38,960
Speaker 2: Bills go down and answer, Chiefs go down and kick

138
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:42,719
Speaker 2: field goal. Bills then end end up turning it over

139
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:46,960
Speaker 2: on fourth and five. The stop on the fourth down

140
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:52,280
Speaker 2: had so many different ramifications. Number One, the Bills are

141
00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:55,080
Speaker 2: up by one at that point. If you go down

142
00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:58,000
Speaker 2: and score a touchdown, it is a two score game

143
00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:00,320
Speaker 2: with about nine minutes left.

144
00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:01,960
Speaker 3: So the Chiefs then have.

145
00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:06,880
Speaker 2: To be absolutely perfect with how they end up playing out,

146
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:10,600
Speaker 2: and they were perfect from that point on in terms

147
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:13,320
Speaker 2: of scoring the touchdown and scoring the field goal. But

148
00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:16,680
Speaker 2: I think it's it's completely different if the Bills end

149
00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:20,480
Speaker 2: up having a twenty nine to twenty one lead. I

150
00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:23,640
Speaker 2: think in that scenario, honestly, they probably go for two

151
00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:27,560
Speaker 2: and try to make that nine point lead if you

152
00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:30,520
Speaker 2: can make it thirty to twenty one, to try to

153
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:32,840
Speaker 2: make it that two score game, if you can get

154
00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:34,280
Speaker 2: it with nine minutes left.

155
00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:35,040
Speaker 3: And that's why I.

156
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:37,560
Speaker 2: Think it was such a big deal, as yeah, it

157
00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:38,960
Speaker 2: was only on one point lead. But if they go

158
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:40,720
Speaker 2: down and score a touchdown, I think they go for

159
00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:42,760
Speaker 2: two and they try to make it a two possession game,

160
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:47,960
Speaker 2: and now Kansas City is in complete makeup mode and

161
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:50,920
Speaker 2: Buffalo is in the driver's seat instead of them just

162
00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:52,560
Speaker 2: trading punches back and forth.

163
00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:53,760
Speaker 4: I guess I'm with you.

164
00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:56,640
Speaker 5: It's just that there still is no guarantee that Buffalo

165
00:07:56,680 --> 00:07:58,680
Speaker 5: then would have gone down the field and scored. And

166
00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:03,200
Speaker 5: it's just Kansas City has gotten so good at closing

167
00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:06,160
Speaker 5: out these these close games, and it just the whole

168
00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:08,320
Speaker 5: fourth quarter you just kind of knew because this game

169
00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:08,960
Speaker 5: is so close.

170
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:10,800
Speaker 4: It's at least I felt this way.

171
00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:12,520
Speaker 5: Is that because it's so close, you just kind of

172
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:14,239
Speaker 5: know that the Chiefs are going to pull this one out.

173
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:18,960
Speaker 2: Kansas City is so good in late game situations, in

174
00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:22,559
Speaker 2: how they handle the clock, how they work the clock

175
00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:25,680
Speaker 2: with a lead, totally, they're very good. I've always said

176
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:28,680
Speaker 2: they're very good at getting eleven yards on three plays.

177
00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:30,840
Speaker 3: So when it's six minutes left in the game.

178
00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:33,240
Speaker 2: I've talked about it on the podcast a bunch, they'll

179
00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:37,040
Speaker 2: just get eleven yards fresh seted downs and another one

180
00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:39,120
Speaker 2: hundred and twenty seconds comes off the clock and the

181
00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:41,040
Speaker 2: next thing you know, it's the two minute warning and

182
00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:43,439
Speaker 2: you're like, wait a second here, now we have to

183
00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:45,719
Speaker 2: stop them if we even want to get the ball back.

184
00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:49,800
Speaker 2: They're very good in those situations. I was shocked shocked

185
00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:51,880
Speaker 2: when Kansas City didn't score a touchdown when it was

186
00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:54,800
Speaker 2: tied at twenty nine. I was I was amazed. I

187
00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:58,040
Speaker 2: was like, wow, they actually because Buffalo got pressure on

188
00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:01,000
Speaker 2: my homes, ended up getting the sad. They ended up

189
00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:03,320
Speaker 2: settling for three, which I thought then was the ultimate

190
00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:05,480
Speaker 2: win and then a path for Josh Allen to go

191
00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:09,480
Speaker 2: down and score and have the Bills get that miraculous win.

192
00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:11,840
Speaker 3: But it did not happen that way.

193
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:14,120
Speaker 2: I just think that the Bills in terms of the

194
00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:16,439
Speaker 2: way that they came back in the first half, It's

195
00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:18,160
Speaker 2: difficult to do that twice.

196
00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:18,360
Speaker 3: In a game.

197
00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:21,160
Speaker 2: And that's why I feel the fourth down call was

198
00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:22,680
Speaker 2: so crucial, was because.

199
00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:24,880
Speaker 3: They had the lead at that time.

200
00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:30,319
Speaker 2: And I just don't I don't understand on how a

201
00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:34,920
Speaker 2: call like that gets made in the National Football League.

202
00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:38,800
Speaker 4: And when you start push no, just.

203
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:42,880
Speaker 2: No, the actual referee officials call that in that case

204
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:46,600
Speaker 2: in how you have an official where the ball carrier

205
00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:51,800
Speaker 2: has his back to that official and that's the side.

206
00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:53,840
Speaker 3: That the official.

207
00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:56,360
Speaker 2: The southelnds that the Chiefs were on, that's the sideline

208
00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:59,240
Speaker 2: that the official is at. He's the one that has

209
00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:01,719
Speaker 2: the worst angle of it. And even though at one

210
00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:04,440
Speaker 2: point he sees the football. If you look at the

211
00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:08,400
Speaker 2: other camera angle from the Buffalo sideline where Josh Allen

212
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:11,760
Speaker 2: is actually looking at the pylon to make sure that

213
00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:14,920
Speaker 2: he gets to that point, and while you can't see

214
00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:17,880
Speaker 2: the football, you know the football's in his arms, you

215
00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:21,120
Speaker 2: know what's there. His arms are folded. At one point

216
00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:24,719
Speaker 2: his torso does touch the line. And how that is

217
00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:29,720
Speaker 2: how that's not conclusive enough? I have no idea. And

218
00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:32,080
Speaker 2: that's the part of where the NFL is. And it

219
00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:35,760
Speaker 2: goes back to the other calls last week, and it's

220
00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:38,439
Speaker 2: the Chiefs and Texans game. It's how these rules are

221
00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:41,960
Speaker 2: written ian that I have the biggest problem with, because

222
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:45,440
Speaker 2: the officials then have to implement the rules the way

223
00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:48,760
Speaker 2: that they are written in the rule book and for

224
00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:51,160
Speaker 2: replay to not be able to get a look at

225
00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:55,240
Speaker 2: the football because there was so much congestion and everything

226
00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:57,240
Speaker 2: that went with it for them to be able to

227
00:10:57,240 --> 00:10:59,480
Speaker 2: not get a look at the football. I think that's

228
00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:01,920
Speaker 2: the reason why they said the call stood, because you

229
00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:05,360
Speaker 2: couldn't see the football with Josh Allen from the angle

230
00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:08,760
Speaker 2: that showed that he crossed the line. But just physics

231
00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:11,480
Speaker 2: or just normal thinking would tell you that the football

232
00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:14,760
Speaker 2: is in Josh Allen's arms, wrapped up under his two

233
00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:17,480
Speaker 2: arms because he's protecting it for dear life, because he

234
00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:19,920
Speaker 2: just fumbled on the previous fourth and one that he

235
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:22,400
Speaker 2: dove over the top like that's that tells you that

236
00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:24,720
Speaker 2: he got the first down. And for some reason the

237
00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:27,360
Speaker 2: NFL in the rule book is written in a way

238
00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:29,640
Speaker 2: where that sort of play cannot be said, Well, we

239
00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:31,720
Speaker 2: didn't see the football, but we assume the football was

240
00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:34,160
Speaker 2: in his grasp at that point and crossed the line

241
00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:34,920
Speaker 2: and is a first down.

242
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:37,360
Speaker 5: Well, it's also with the you know how the refs

243
00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:40,640
Speaker 5: with the call. The call on the field holds so

244
00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:42,680
Speaker 5: much weight because because of the fact that the ref

245
00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:45,360
Speaker 5: who you know, like you say, had the worst view,

246
00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:47,720
Speaker 5: he got the call on the field. It means that

247
00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:50,160
Speaker 5: then there has to be clear evidence to overturn that,

248
00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:52,880
Speaker 5: as opposed to had the other guy got it, there

249
00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:55,319
Speaker 5: wouldn't need to be clear evidence to overturn the fact

250
00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:56,640
Speaker 5: that he didn't get.

251
00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:57,080
Speaker 4: The first down.

252
00:11:57,200 --> 00:11:58,760
Speaker 3: Yes, so, very good point.

253
00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:00,600
Speaker 5: It really doesn't make a lot of sense that they

254
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:03,200
Speaker 5: that they went with the ref who had the worst view.

255
00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:04,680
Speaker 5: So that's a good point on your partner.

256
00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:07,719
Speaker 2: There's there's just a lot of frustration and no no

257
00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:09,800
Speaker 2: Chiefs fans probably don't want to hear about it, and

258
00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:12,880
Speaker 2: they're sick about it and sick of hearing people like

259
00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:13,800
Speaker 2: me complain about it.

260
00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:15,480
Speaker 3: But I do think it's a big deal.

261
00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:17,640
Speaker 4: I don't know if they're going to their third Super Bowl.

262
00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:21,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're probably right. They don't don't care what I say.

263
00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:25,120
Speaker 2: They've got a bigger fish to fry. It's just it

264
00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:28,480
Speaker 2: was frustrating. I can't imagine being a Bills fan because

265
00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:31,800
Speaker 2: here's the other portion of this. I was thinking about this.

266
00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:36,840
Speaker 2: Here you're Josh Allen, you're taking in the twenty eighteen

267
00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:41,200
Speaker 2: NFL Draft, and here we are twenty twenty four. He's

268
00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:43,360
Speaker 2: going to be twenty nine years old in May, so

269
00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:46,800
Speaker 2: he's not even thirty yet, so probably another decade in

270
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:50,160
Speaker 2: his career of playing football. But he's not gonna be

271
00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:53,840
Speaker 2: the same quarterback as he is when he's thirty eight,

272
00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:57,480
Speaker 2: as he is when he's twenty eight, right, But taking

273
00:12:57,520 --> 00:13:01,160
Speaker 2: Patrick Mahomes out of the equation, if he has ten

274
00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:05,199
Speaker 2: more years that he plays, I think it's an enormous

275
00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:11,240
Speaker 2: stretch for Josh Allen to be in five AFC championship

276
00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:14,439
Speaker 2: games over the next ten years. That is, that would

277
00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:17,480
Speaker 2: be that would be stuff that you would dream of entering.

278
00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:20,359
Speaker 2: If I were to say you have five AFC championship

279
00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:22,800
Speaker 2: games over the next ten years, would you agree with that?

280
00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:24,480
Speaker 2: If I would to say the Bills were to make

281
00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:27,760
Speaker 2: it back five times over the next ten years, yeah,

282
00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:28,360
Speaker 2: that is that.

283
00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:29,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, it is.

284
00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:33,080
Speaker 2: You're a Jets fan, right, like I mean.

285
00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:32,760
Speaker 4: I hope not.

286
00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:35,719
Speaker 2: I mean, you know, the Seahawks they went to back

287
00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:38,640
Speaker 2: to back NFC championship games where they ended up going

288
00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:39,920
Speaker 2: to the Super Bowl and.

289
00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:41,920
Speaker 3: Then haven't been back to one since.

290
00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:44,400
Speaker 2: They've made it to the wild card, they've made it

291
00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:46,760
Speaker 2: to the divisional playoffs, but they have not been back

292
00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:49,320
Speaker 2: to the conference championship game. So if he's not going

293
00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:52,320
Speaker 2: to make five, I think four would still be a lot.

294
00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:55,040
Speaker 2: So let's just settle on three. Sure, so you only

295
00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:58,760
Speaker 2: has three more chances, and then you have to think

296
00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:01,679
Speaker 2: how many times does the Buffalo curse come into play?

297
00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:05,400
Speaker 2: And so that's where we start getting down to the

298
00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:09,400
Speaker 2: all right, how many opportunities and oh maybe they'll be back,

299
00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:11,800
Speaker 2: not like you look at it next year, Like I

300
00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:14,200
Speaker 2: think Buffalo is not a complete disadvantage for making it

301
00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:15,240
Speaker 2: back to the title game.

302
00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:17,120
Speaker 3: I think Baltimore is in prime.

303
00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:19,440
Speaker 2: Position to make it back next year because guess what,

304
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:21,520
Speaker 2: they were knocked out this past year.

305
00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:23,360
Speaker 3: So now there's a little extra motivation.

306
00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:27,640
Speaker 2: Maybe Baltimore ends up being able to make that move

307
00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:30,440
Speaker 2: and Kansas City's not going anywhere. It's just the point

308
00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:33,200
Speaker 2: of when you look at what happens in the future

309
00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:36,920
Speaker 2: and how things can play out, it's just it's such

310
00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:39,920
Speaker 2: a missed opportunity for Buffalo, it really is.

311
00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:42,480
Speaker 5: I mean, I it's just that if you if you

312
00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:44,920
Speaker 5: look at it in a vacuum, it feels like Buffalo

313
00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:47,240
Speaker 5: should easily be able to get back because they were

314
00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:47,720
Speaker 5: just there.

315
00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:49,760
Speaker 4: Like it's it's always what it feels like.

316
00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:52,280
Speaker 5: It's why when the Bengals made it to the Super Bowl,

317
00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:53,800
Speaker 5: it felt like they were playing with house money.

318
00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:53,920
Speaker 3: You know.

319
00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:55,560
Speaker 5: It feels like, oh, they'll just make it back Burro,

320
00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:58,200
Speaker 5: so ye, yep. The point is you can't always bank

321
00:14:58,240 --> 00:14:59,720
Speaker 5: on that in a vacuum.

322
00:14:59,760 --> 00:14:59,920
Speaker 3: Though.

323
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:03,600
Speaker 5: This was sort of like a down year for the Bills. Though,

324
00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:06,080
Speaker 5: as weird as it is to think about, you know,

325
00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:09,560
Speaker 5: Keon Coleman's a rookie. Khalil Shakir was Josh Allen's number

326
00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:10,080
Speaker 5: one target.

327
00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:10,640
Speaker 3: Great point.

328
00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:13,440
Speaker 5: Dalton kin Paid was a first rounder last year. He's

329
00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:16,600
Speaker 5: kind of disappointed. It's just the point is, this has

330
00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:19,560
Speaker 5: kind of been a year where they weren't supposed to

331
00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:22,000
Speaker 5: have gone to the AFC Championship and they still did.

332
00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:24,200
Speaker 5: So if you were to, you know, theoretically, add a

333
00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:27,000
Speaker 5: number one target to their offense next year, I really

334
00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:30,040
Speaker 5: like their odds, but again, it's just so hard to

335
00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:32,760
Speaker 5: guarantee it. And they were just there and they came

336
00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:34,680
Speaker 5: up short. And I'm sure that they know that too,

337
00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:36,160
Speaker 5: so they're feeling pretty bad.

338
00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:37,480
Speaker 3: I think that you can.

339
00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:40,640
Speaker 2: I think you can, like as you said, Keon Coleman

340
00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:43,960
Speaker 2: can get better and maybe he can develop into that

341
00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:45,080
Speaker 2: number one wide receiver.

342
00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:46,920
Speaker 3: I mean, he better. They took him with the first

343
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:48,320
Speaker 3: drop pick of the second.

344
00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:50,800
Speaker 5: Round, and they traded their pick that they ended up

345
00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:52,200
Speaker 5: giving the Chiefs Xavier.

346
00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:55,400
Speaker 2: Worthy yep, exactly, So so you better turn into something.

347
00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:58,800
Speaker 2: But there's also the fact of I actually think that

348
00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:02,040
Speaker 2: this team needs to get better on defense. They need

349
00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:05,320
Speaker 2: to make it so Josh Allen doesn't have to bring

350
00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:08,000
Speaker 2: them back from a twenty to ten deficit and to

351
00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:10,360
Speaker 2: make it back and continue on like they need. They

352
00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:13,760
Speaker 2: need that defense to get better. They've got a couple

353
00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:17,240
Speaker 2: of good players. They've got Ed Oliver, Who's I mean,

354
00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:20,440
Speaker 2: but you know, von Miller's playing pass rushing downs. Their

355
00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:24,440
Speaker 2: secondaries banged up and they moved through different pieces. No

356
00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:28,200
Speaker 2: disrespect to Damar Hamlin, but Damorrow Hamlin last year in

357
00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:31,440
Speaker 2: his comeback when he did return, was inactive for many games.

358
00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:34,400
Speaker 2: And now Damar Hamlin's ending up starting at points because

359
00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:39,280
Speaker 2: and played significantly this year because the thinness of their secondary,

360
00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:42,200
Speaker 2: They've had to make moves from other years and letting

361
00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:45,400
Speaker 2: other guys go. They have to get better on defense,

362
00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:49,160
Speaker 2: and if that happens, I think then everything else falls

363
00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:49,480
Speaker 2: in place.

364
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:50,080
Speaker 3: With Buffalo.

365
00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:50,960
Speaker 4: That's a good point.

366
00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:53,560
Speaker 5: That's a good point, Dan, actually, because I actually when

367
00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:56,920
Speaker 5: I was watching the game Chief Spills, I had the thought,

368
00:16:57,920 --> 00:16:59,720
Speaker 5: you know, if one of these teams is going to

369
00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:02,440
Speaker 5: be playing the Eagles, how the heck are the Bills

370
00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:06,119
Speaker 5: defense gonna deal with Saquon Barkley. They were having so

371
00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:09,919
Speaker 5: much trouble stopping the Chiefs with you know, the corpse

372
00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:10,720
Speaker 5: of Durham Hunt.

373
00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:12,280
Speaker 4: How do you think they're gonna do against you?

374
00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:14,000
Speaker 5: Know, one of the best running backs we've ever seen,

375
00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:16,200
Speaker 5: you know, in one of the best seasons we've ever seen.

376
00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:18,760
Speaker 5: Not good, but the Chiefs I feel like at least

377
00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:22,479
Speaker 5: their defense has a chance to not shut down Barkley.

378
00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:25,360
Speaker 5: That's a tall ask, but at least, you know, stifle

379
00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:26,000
Speaker 5: them a little bit.

380
00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:28,399
Speaker 3: We shall see. We'll find out in two weeks.

381
00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:30,920
Speaker 2: We'll talk more about what's going to happen in Super

382
00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:34,520
Speaker 2: Bowl fifty nine on next week's episode. Hopefully Mike is

383
00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:38,280
Speaker 2: back in action and gets that voice back he is, Ian, Roddy,

384
00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:40,960
Speaker 2: I'm Dan Byer it is. I want your flags, and

385
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:43,120
Speaker 2: don't worry Chiefs fans. I know there was a lot

386
00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:45,199
Speaker 2: of Bills talk and a lot of Bills favor and

387
00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:47,960
Speaker 2: sorry about that. We try to split it down the middle,

388
00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:50,240
Speaker 2: but we're not. I'm not gonna lie. I really wanted

389
00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:52,840
Speaker 2: the Bills to win this past weekend. But we'll talk

390
00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:54,680
Speaker 2: about more about the Chiefs and egles coming up in

391
00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:58,800
Speaker 2: the Super Bowl preview coming up next. Ian mentioned Saquon

392
00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:01,920
Speaker 2: Barkley and the type of running back that he is

393
00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:04,160
Speaker 2: and the great season that he's had, and it continued

394
00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:07,600
Speaker 2: in the NFC Championship game. Will break down that, and

395
00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:11,520
Speaker 2: do I actually give the commanders some credit. I've been

396
00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:14,760
Speaker 2: getting some flak on social media about not get giving

397
00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:18,000
Speaker 2: Washington their flowers. You'll find out if they'll receive those

398
00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:22,560
Speaker 2: flowers next here. And I want your flex. It is

399
00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:25,600
Speaker 2: I want your flex. I'm Dan Byer, Mike Harmon is out,

400
00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:29,280
Speaker 2: ill Ian Roddy, our executive producer, is with me.

401
00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:30,560
Speaker 3: You know. It's funny.

402
00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:33,119
Speaker 2: I do have to say, because Mike talks about it

403
00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:36,080
Speaker 2: when we talk about going back to places and going

404
00:18:36,119 --> 00:18:38,640
Speaker 2: back to AFC Championship games like.

405
00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:40,119
Speaker 3: We were with the Buffalo Bills.

406
00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:43,760
Speaker 2: Mike what left the lasting impression on him was when

407
00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:46,720
Speaker 2: he was leaving Sofi Stadium after Super Bowl fifty six

408
00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:49,240
Speaker 2: when the Rams beat the Bengals, as the Bengals felt

409
00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:51,720
Speaker 2: that they were always going to be back. And it's

410
00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:54,639
Speaker 2: a tail, you know, as long as time in the

411
00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:57,520
Speaker 2: NFL of guys that you thought would end up being

412
00:18:57,560 --> 00:18:59,960
Speaker 2: back and getting a second chance and having another opt

413
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:02,920
Speaker 2: our tunity, and it doesn't happen as often as you think.

414
00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:05,240
Speaker 2: And we're not even talking about the Super Bowl in

415
00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:07,800
Speaker 2: those scenarios, we're just talking about getting to the AFC

416
00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:08,720
Speaker 2: Championship game.

417
00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:10,880
Speaker 3: But I still think it's going to be difficult.

418
00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:13,920
Speaker 2: When you see the you see the type of players,

419
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:16,400
Speaker 2: you see the type of quarterbacks that are in the AFC,

420
00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:18,000
Speaker 2: it's it's.

421
00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:18,440
Speaker 3: Gonna be tough.

422
00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:20,480
Speaker 2: And that actually makes what the Kansas City Chiefs have

423
00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:24,000
Speaker 2: done even more amazing. But moving off from the AFC

424
00:19:24,040 --> 00:19:27,080
Speaker 2: to the NFC, now, maybe we have a new contender

425
00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:29,920
Speaker 2: in the NFC. Because it seemed ian that we were

426
00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:32,440
Speaker 2: entering a season where it was going to be the Lions,

427
00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:35,159
Speaker 2: and we thought the Eagles could be good, But I

428
00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:36,680
Speaker 2: don't think we thought they were going to be that

429
00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:40,520
Speaker 2: good and this good in advancing the Super Bowl fifty

430
00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:43,280
Speaker 2: nine and the forty nine ers disappointed everybody this year

431
00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:46,240
Speaker 2: and having a complete letdown and not making the postseason.

432
00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:49,520
Speaker 2: But maybe the Washington Commanders are a team that steps

433
00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:53,320
Speaker 2: up to the window. I am kicking myself because I

434
00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:56,840
Speaker 2: know I've discredited Washington through out the way because I

435
00:19:57,000 --> 00:20:00,800
Speaker 2: haven't given them credit for their wins, and I need

436
00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:04,359
Speaker 2: to probably move off of that. Because if you beat

437
00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:07,040
Speaker 2: the Eagles in a regular season game like they did,

438
00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:09,159
Speaker 2: no matter how it happened, if you go on the

439
00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:11,320
Speaker 2: road and beat Detroit, I don't care if Detroit's missing

440
00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:15,479
Speaker 2: half their defense in a playoff game where their crowd

441
00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:18,520
Speaker 2: is jacked up. I have to give them credit. So

442
00:20:18,840 --> 00:20:23,000
Speaker 2: it's my bad in the previous episodes of not giving

443
00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:27,280
Speaker 2: Washington maybe the flowers that they were do. I still

444
00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:29,840
Speaker 2: believe in my Jaden Daniels take, and it's not meant

445
00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:33,159
Speaker 2: to be disrespectful to Jayden Daniels. It's just the fact

446
00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:36,120
Speaker 2: of I think that this year was a charmed year,

447
00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:38,719
Speaker 2: and I think that there's a lot of things that

448
00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:41,800
Speaker 2: went right and everything was new. Now it's up to

449
00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:45,000
Speaker 2: Dan Quinn and Cliff Kingsbury, if he's still there next year,

450
00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:49,359
Speaker 2: to be able to build off of that energy and

451
00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:52,040
Speaker 2: not have this new found winning and this new found

452
00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:56,159
Speaker 2: feel be the reason why you're carrying momentum through the season.

453
00:20:56,480 --> 00:20:59,040
Speaker 2: You're doing it because you're a good to great football team,

454
00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:01,600
Speaker 2: and I think that's going to be the biggest challenge.

455
00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:04,080
Speaker 2: I should have seen it coming from a mile away

456
00:21:04,119 --> 00:21:06,720
Speaker 2: that the Eagles were gonna run over the Commanders. When

457
00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:10,520
Speaker 2: you look back and think about it home game in Philadelphia,

458
00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:15,240
Speaker 2: emotional win that Washington had on the road. So you

459
00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:18,639
Speaker 2: go back to back road games, you go to Tampa,

460
00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:21,480
Speaker 2: you get that late win, you go to Detroit, you

461
00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:26,240
Speaker 2: knockoff Number one. It's difficult to have your your gas

462
00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:29,720
Speaker 2: tank full and then to have Philadelphia have a reason

463
00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:31,879
Speaker 2: to be motivated because of how you lost in the

464
00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:34,760
Speaker 2: regular season game. I don't know if I should have

465
00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:37,720
Speaker 2: seen fifty five to twenty three. I thought the Commanders

466
00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:42,040
Speaker 2: would cover, but unfortunately, unfortunately, now hindsight's twenty twenty.

467
00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:44,320
Speaker 3: I should have seen this coming from a mile away.

468
00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:46,600
Speaker 5: I think you're right. It's when you go back to

469
00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:52,240
Speaker 5: the regular season. Both the AFC and NFC championship contenders,

470
00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:55,200
Speaker 5: but both both teams faced each other during the regular season,

471
00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:58,399
Speaker 5: and both teams ended up having the opposite result. Because

472
00:21:58,400 --> 00:21:59,800
Speaker 5: you know, the Bills beat the Chiefs in the regular

473
00:21:59,800 --> 00:22:02,760
Speaker 5: sea and the Commanders managed to beat the Eagles in

474
00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:06,040
Speaker 5: the regular season. It's just that kind of differentiator, though,

475
00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:08,639
Speaker 5: that that at the margin, when when it's two teams

476
00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:11,440
Speaker 5: that in theory are so evenly matched. To me, it's

477
00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:13,639
Speaker 5: just like if one of them managed to get the

478
00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:15,960
Speaker 5: best of the other last time, I'm just gonna always

479
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:18,119
Speaker 5: give the edge to the to the one who lost.

480
00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:22,240
Speaker 2: And then in the Eagles, let's be honest, there the

481
00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:25,480
Speaker 2: better team they're the better team than Washington, and that's

482
00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:29,000
Speaker 2: not meant to be disrespectful to Washington. There are many

483
00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:31,639
Speaker 2: who say that the Eagles have the best roster in the.

484
00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:34,040
Speaker 3: National Football League from top to bottom.

485
00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:37,239
Speaker 2: There's no roster that's better than Philadelphia, and they've been

486
00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:42,120
Speaker 2: able to channel it in a way. I heard Nick

487
00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:46,560
Speaker 2: Siriani CEO over the last forty eight hours. Yeah, me too,

488
00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:49,800
Speaker 2: and I was I was surprised with that, and I

489
00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:54,440
Speaker 2: would I would say this, Nick Siriani, m I A

490
00:22:55,040 --> 00:22:57,560
Speaker 2: and what I mean by that, And it's not Miami.

491
00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:01,000
Speaker 2: I'm talking about missing an action in the fact of

492
00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:04,919
Speaker 2: you now have Kellen Moore running your offense and you

493
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:08,919
Speaker 2: have Vic Fangio running your defense. And I feel that

494
00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:12,119
Speaker 2: last year, because of the new coordinators that you had,

495
00:23:13,119 --> 00:23:16,680
Speaker 2: you had to if you're Nick Siriani, put your nose

496
00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:20,080
Speaker 2: in the things, dive into things. Why is Jalen Hurts

497
00:23:20,119 --> 00:23:23,879
Speaker 2: not having a successful season? What is going on with

498
00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:26,160
Speaker 2: our run game? Why is their dysfunction? Even though they're

499
00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:28,960
Speaker 2: winning games, we're not doing it in a great fashion.

500
00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:31,120
Speaker 3: And I feel that when you.

501
00:23:31,119 --> 00:23:36,080
Speaker 2: Hire two capable assistants, more than capable assistants, one who

502
00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:40,600
Speaker 2: was a longtime veteran NFL assistant who was a consultant

503
00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:43,800
Speaker 2: for you two years ago and actually has head coaching experience.

504
00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:47,359
Speaker 2: Vic Fangio doesn't need guidance from everyone. You just let

505
00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:50,320
Speaker 2: Vic Fangio run the defense and Kellen Moore could come

506
00:23:50,359 --> 00:23:52,960
Speaker 2: in and Nick Sirianni can give him his thoughts. But

507
00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:55,240
Speaker 2: it's like, we need to get our running game going.

508
00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:57,280
Speaker 2: We haven't been able to do it over the last

509
00:23:57,280 --> 00:23:59,720
Speaker 2: couple of years with our running back We now have

510
00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:03,439
Speaker 2: this supreme talent. Make it work. How did you do

511
00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:06,239
Speaker 2: it in Dallas? How did you do it with the

512
00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:08,520
Speaker 2: running backs that you had there? And Tony Pollard and

513
00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:12,680
Speaker 2: Ezekiel Elliott do your thing and he did. And when

514
00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:15,320
Speaker 2: you have Saquon Barkley and you make it work. Jalen

515
00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:17,520
Speaker 2: Hurts has been hurt and hasn't been great this year,

516
00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:20,119
Speaker 2: but the Philadelphia Egos have an offense right now that

517
00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:24,000
Speaker 2: looks unstoppable. And I think it's because Nick Sirianni isn't

518
00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:27,600
Speaker 2: isn't a part of possibly mixing things up.

519
00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:30,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's a good indicator that maybe you don't have

520
00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:33,119
Speaker 5: the right head coach. Is the fact that things are

521
00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:37,760
Speaker 5: working when he's not touching it. But to that point, though, Dan,

522
00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:41,879
Speaker 5: I just feel like he it feels unfair to not

523
00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:44,359
Speaker 5: give him credit for this because he's going to his

524
00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:47,280
Speaker 5: second Super Bowl. And also, you know who else is

525
00:24:47,280 --> 00:24:49,720
Speaker 5: a CEO head coach who gets credit for being a

526
00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:51,840
Speaker 5: great head coach is Dan Campbell, and he's someone who

527
00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:55,840
Speaker 5: also had two great coordinators, and it was never his

528
00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:58,200
Speaker 5: job to get too involved with the offense or too

529
00:24:58,200 --> 00:25:01,040
Speaker 5: involved with the defense. The difference though, is I feel

530
00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:05,000
Speaker 5: like with Dan Campbell there's he's giving speeches. It just

531
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:09,240
Speaker 5: feels like he's much more involved with both parts of

532
00:25:09,280 --> 00:25:11,320
Speaker 5: the team as opposed to neither parts of.

533
00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:13,000
Speaker 4: The team, which is what it feels like with Sirianni.

534
00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:13,600
Speaker 4: Does that make sense?

535
00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:14,040
Speaker 3: Yeah?

536
00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:17,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, Well Dan Campbell built a culture.

537
00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:20,199
Speaker 5: Right, and then he can't feels like just kind of

538
00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:21,840
Speaker 5: have an autopilot culture.

539
00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:23,080
Speaker 4: It's just because.

540
00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:26,480
Speaker 2: Their roster, yeah, and because their roster is so good yeah.

541
00:25:26,520 --> 00:25:28,520
Speaker 2: And the other the other thing that you have with

542
00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:30,879
Speaker 2: it and why I think you've actually seen some dysfunction

543
00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:34,280
Speaker 2: maybe on the offensive side, and there was something going

544
00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:37,440
Speaker 2: on last year even when Jason Kelsey was there. But

545
00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:41,080
Speaker 2: you do have veteran guys on defense I know Brandon

546
00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:43,919
Speaker 2: Graham is hurt now, but Brandon Graham was still in

547
00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:46,359
Speaker 2: that locker room for a decent amount of the season,

548
00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:50,560
Speaker 2: and so you have a player like that being able

549
00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:53,840
Speaker 2: to keep players in check. Jalen Carter's played out of

550
00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:57,920
Speaker 2: his mind. They've done really well. Quinnon Mitchell's great all year.

551
00:25:58,080 --> 00:25:58,800
Speaker 4: No one's super.

552
00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:04,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, the Degene's been great, you know, and so they've

553
00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:09,200
Speaker 2: got They've had guys that really step up, that are

554
00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:13,560
Speaker 2: top quality guys. And on offense with that offensive line,

555
00:26:14,119 --> 00:26:16,760
Speaker 2: I mean, it's amazing for how good they've been and

556
00:26:16,800 --> 00:26:19,959
Speaker 2: for how long they've been with pieces coming in and

557
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:23,199
Speaker 2: out at times. We mentioned Kelsey retiring, Jason Peters was

558
00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:27,800
Speaker 2: there forever, and they still continually have a great offensive line,

559
00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:30,679
Speaker 2: and now you put Saquon Barkley behind it, which I

560
00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:35,199
Speaker 2: think then lessons the Jalen Hurts responsibility of being a

561
00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:38,080
Speaker 2: leader on that team, even though he's the quarterback and

562
00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:41,840
Speaker 2: his voices, like, when you have the supreme talent of

563
00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:45,399
Speaker 2: Saquon Barkley, it all kind of defaults to that, and

564
00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:47,800
Speaker 2: I think that's helped Philadelphia this year definitely.

565
00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:50,800
Speaker 5: And to that point about about Saquon taking some of

566
00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:54,800
Speaker 5: the leadership responsibilities off of Jalen. I think Jalen actually

567
00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:56,800
Speaker 5: is a great leader. That's something he really does have

568
00:26:56,880 --> 00:26:59,920
Speaker 5: going for him. So it's not necessarily something he needs

569
00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:01,920
Speaker 5: is someone to help him take some of that off

570
00:27:01,960 --> 00:27:05,800
Speaker 5: his plate. But it doesn't hurt and Saquon, it's just

571
00:27:06,560 --> 00:27:08,639
Speaker 5: he doesn't get enough credit for some of the dirty

572
00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:11,600
Speaker 5: stuff he does. You see him picking up blocks. It's

573
00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:13,640
Speaker 5: like he's that's such a nerdy thing to talk about,

574
00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:16,879
Speaker 5: but it's like you literally see this guy meeting linebackers

575
00:27:17,040 --> 00:27:19,320
Speaker 5: in the hole and you just don't see it. Usually

576
00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:21,760
Speaker 5: we talk about guys like, you know, for the Chiefs,

577
00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:24,080
Speaker 5: that's what you have a samajp Ryan four on your roster,

578
00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:26,960
Speaker 5: is you know, to pick up the dirty work, show

579
00:27:27,040 --> 00:27:27,400
Speaker 5: up at the.

580
00:27:27,440 --> 00:27:30,520
Speaker 3: Late in the fourth quarter of the game, ceiling first down. Yeah.

581
00:27:30,560 --> 00:27:33,919
Speaker 5: But for Saquon to be doing all that stuff on

582
00:27:34,040 --> 00:27:36,879
Speaker 5: top of being the best running back in the NFL,

583
00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:39,480
Speaker 5: it's just remarkable, Like he deserves so much credit.

584
00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:43,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree with you that think that Jalen Hurts

585
00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:47,359
Speaker 2: is a leader, and I agree with you that Jalen

586
00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:50,640
Speaker 2: Hurts is probably a top ten person for what we

587
00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:54,040
Speaker 2: know in the National Football League. But there's no denying

588
00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:56,840
Speaker 2: that there was friction between him and Nick Sirianni. There's

589
00:27:56,880 --> 00:27:59,680
Speaker 2: no denying that he and AJ Brown have not been

590
00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:03,120
Speaker 2: on the ste page at various times throughout the ten

591
00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:05,360
Speaker 2: year in Philadelphia. And you know how I've been critical

592
00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:08,720
Speaker 2: of AJ Brown and those in those scenarios. So it's

593
00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:12,399
Speaker 2: difficult to be the leader that like Patrick Mahomes is

594
00:28:13,080 --> 00:28:17,880
Speaker 2: and that Josh Allen is, or heck, I'll even dare

595
00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:21,040
Speaker 2: to say it, Jayden Daniels is in his rookie season

596
00:28:21,040 --> 00:28:24,040
Speaker 2: for the Commanders when you have other guys pushing against it.

597
00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:26,359
Speaker 2: And that's one of the great things about the Commanders,

598
00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:29,399
Speaker 2: and at least with Jayden Daniels is you've had someone

599
00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:33,240
Speaker 2: like Bobby Wagner, who's leading the defense, who's won a

600
00:28:33,359 --> 00:28:36,879
Speaker 2: Super Bowl, who's been in the trenches, kind of taking

601
00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:39,520
Speaker 2: him under his wing, but also then allowing him to

602
00:28:39,520 --> 00:28:41,120
Speaker 2: be the leader that he needs to be.

603
00:28:41,080 --> 00:28:41,920
Speaker 3: As the quarterback.

604
00:28:42,280 --> 00:28:45,280
Speaker 2: Terry mclaurin's on that offense, Zach Ertz is on that offense.

605
00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:47,960
Speaker 2: They're all fully capable of being the leader, but they

606
00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:50,760
Speaker 2: also can defer to all, right, our quarterback is going

607
00:28:50,840 --> 00:28:52,560
Speaker 2: to be our guy. And they've done that in Washington

608
00:28:52,920 --> 00:28:55,080
Speaker 2: and it's worked. I don't think that Jalen Hurts gets

609
00:28:55,120 --> 00:28:58,720
Speaker 2: that from his other teammates, specifically a guy like AJ Brown.

610
00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:00,640
Speaker 3: So it's the only difference.

611
00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:03,280
Speaker 2: Shouldn'tay other teammates that should just say basically AJ Brown.

612
00:29:03,560 --> 00:29:07,320
Speaker 2: But with Saquan now there, it's it's hard to deny

613
00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:10,920
Speaker 2: that talent in a little way that's maybe comparable to Washington,

614
00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:13,640
Speaker 2: And you can't deny Jane Daniel's talent.

615
00:29:13,760 --> 00:29:15,120
Speaker 3: So let him run with it and let him be

616
00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:15,960
Speaker 3: the leader that he is.

617
00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:18,720
Speaker 5: So yeah, that's a good point. And like you said,

618
00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:23,080
Speaker 5: it's winning cures all. So not only DoD Saquon help

619
00:29:23,160 --> 00:29:25,680
Speaker 5: the leadership aspect and help the Eagles culture just from

620
00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:27,880
Speaker 5: being a good guy in a locker room presence, he

621
00:29:27,920 --> 00:29:30,040
Speaker 5: also helps them because he helps them actually win games,

622
00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:33,120
Speaker 5: so he indirectly influences their culture in that way too.

623
00:29:33,560 --> 00:29:37,040
Speaker 2: So I mentioned Washington and how things were crazy at

624
00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:39,960
Speaker 2: the end of the season. It's funny on Washington's road

625
00:29:40,760 --> 00:29:43,520
Speaker 2: in how things changed in week eighteen with the Packers

626
00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:47,320
Speaker 2: losing to the Bears and the Commanders ending up beating

627
00:29:47,320 --> 00:29:50,520
Speaker 2: the Cowboys. The Rams lost to the Seahawks, So there

628
00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:52,440
Speaker 2: was seeding, and there was changing. There was a bunch

629
00:29:52,440 --> 00:29:55,880
Speaker 2: of different stuff, but as it plays out, Commanders ended

630
00:29:55,960 --> 00:29:58,280
Speaker 2: up getting the six seed. They were second in the

631
00:29:58,360 --> 00:30:00,720
Speaker 2: NFC East this year. You want to know who their

632
00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:04,320
Speaker 2: opponents are for next year. I've got it in.

633
00:30:04,240 --> 00:30:04,600
Speaker 3: Front of me.

634
00:30:04,720 --> 00:30:07,240
Speaker 2: Sure, so you have to say yes, So you want

635
00:30:07,240 --> 00:30:09,800
Speaker 2: to know, yes, Okay, we know there are three NFC

636
00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:10,720
Speaker 2: East opponents.

637
00:30:10,840 --> 00:30:12,040
Speaker 3: We know them home and away.

638
00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:17,200
Speaker 2: They've also got Bears at home, Lions at home, Broncos

639
00:30:17,280 --> 00:30:20,400
Speaker 2: at home, Seahawks at home, Raiders at home.

640
00:30:22,280 --> 00:30:25,640
Speaker 3: So check this, yeah, yeah, tough.

641
00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:29,600
Speaker 2: Check out this on the road, Packers on the road,

642
00:30:29,920 --> 00:30:33,240
Speaker 2: Chiefs on the road, Chargers on the road, Vikings on

643
00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:35,880
Speaker 2: the road, Dolphins on the road, Falcons on the road.

644
00:30:37,560 --> 00:30:38,440
Speaker 3: It gets tougher.

645
00:30:38,640 --> 00:30:41,200
Speaker 4: Yes, I don't know if it's the same sophomore season.

646
00:30:41,360 --> 00:30:44,520
Speaker 2: And so it's one you know, those are those are

647
00:30:44,560 --> 00:30:47,400
Speaker 2: just some of the things that can happen. They had

648
00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:50,200
Speaker 2: a last place schedule this year. When you look at

649
00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:53,360
Speaker 2: the record and the winds that they had, that's what

650
00:30:53,400 --> 00:30:55,880
Speaker 2: I would point to and say, not only who did

651
00:30:55,880 --> 00:30:58,320
Speaker 2: they beat, but how many times did they escape? We

652
00:30:58,480 --> 00:31:01,280
Speaker 2: talked about the Bears, Hail Mary. We've talked about Week

653
00:31:01,320 --> 00:31:03,120
Speaker 2: two with the Giants, when the Giants don't have a

654
00:31:03,200 --> 00:31:06,880
Speaker 2: kicker and Washington kicks seven field goals to win a game.

655
00:31:07,280 --> 00:31:10,200
Speaker 2: That stuff doesn't follow up and happen the next year.

656
00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:11,600
Speaker 3: Look at Minnesota.

657
00:31:12,240 --> 00:31:14,760
Speaker 2: Remember Minnesota in the year a couple of years ago,

658
00:31:15,160 --> 00:31:17,640
Speaker 2: where we're like, man, how does Minnesota win all these games?

659
00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:20,760
Speaker 2: They took a step back. Well, Kirk Cousins leaves, they

660
00:31:20,840 --> 00:31:23,920
Speaker 2: bring in Sam Donald, but guess what, Kevin O'Connell's your

661
00:31:23,960 --> 00:31:26,440
Speaker 2: head coach. They go back this year. They have an

662
00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:29,120
Speaker 2: amazing season, and while it ended earlier than they would

663
00:31:29,120 --> 00:31:32,360
Speaker 2: have hoped, I think we feel that Minnesota has reached

664
00:31:32,400 --> 00:31:35,480
Speaker 2: a level where we expect them to be a competitor.

665
00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:39,480
Speaker 2: That's all I'm saying about Washington. I'm not saying they're

666
00:31:39,520 --> 00:31:43,680
Speaker 2: going to be erased from the NFL picture. But for

667
00:31:43,800 --> 00:31:47,880
Speaker 2: the last two weeks, we've had Jane Daniels top five

668
00:31:47,960 --> 00:31:52,760
Speaker 2: quarterback in the NFL, and I mean, there are five

669
00:31:52,840 --> 00:31:55,040
Speaker 2: quarterbacks that I think are better than I'm in the AFC.

670
00:31:55,920 --> 00:31:58,560
Speaker 2: And that's my whole point in gis of trying to

671
00:31:58,640 --> 00:32:02,280
Speaker 2: determine who'd where are we on this And it's not

672
00:32:02,560 --> 00:32:05,200
Speaker 2: meant to be any disrespect, but now you go from

673
00:32:05,240 --> 00:32:08,400
Speaker 2: one season where you're the hunter and now guess what,

674
00:32:08,520 --> 00:32:12,400
Speaker 2: now you're the hunted, and those things can change. And

675
00:32:12,440 --> 00:32:14,480
Speaker 2: it's the only thing that I'm warning about, and I

676
00:32:14,520 --> 00:32:18,240
Speaker 2: will be I will gladly, gladly admit that I'm wrong.

677
00:32:18,280 --> 00:32:21,200
Speaker 2: If the Commanders go thirteen and four next year and

678
00:32:21,280 --> 00:32:23,840
Speaker 2: win the division, I just think it's a different it's

679
00:32:23,880 --> 00:32:26,400
Speaker 2: a different road for them, and with Jayden Daniels, we

680
00:32:26,560 --> 00:32:29,000
Speaker 2: just have to play the long game. But a stellar,

681
00:32:29,200 --> 00:32:31,960
Speaker 2: stellar rookie season. I wish it wouldn't have ended as

682
00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:34,960
Speaker 2: poorly for them in that championship game, but I don't

683
00:32:34,960 --> 00:32:37,640
Speaker 2: think it takes away anything that they've done because that

684
00:32:37,760 --> 00:32:39,880
Speaker 2: win in Detroit, the win in Tampa, and the playoffs,

685
00:32:39,920 --> 00:32:41,440
Speaker 2: that think are the things that are going to carry

686
00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:42,959
Speaker 2: over when we remember this season.

687
00:32:43,040 --> 00:32:43,680
Speaker 4: I'm with you, Dan.

688
00:32:43,720 --> 00:32:45,880
Speaker 5: And one more thing to remember too is also the

689
00:32:45,920 --> 00:32:48,400
Speaker 5: fact that that Saints head coaching job is still opening,

690
00:32:48,440 --> 00:32:52,120
Speaker 5: are still open, And yeah, Cliff Kingsbury, I mean, obviously

691
00:32:52,120 --> 00:32:54,920
Speaker 5: it's no guarantee, but if he's gone, I would probably

692
00:32:54,960 --> 00:32:56,280
Speaker 5: hurt Jayden as well.

693
00:32:56,520 --> 00:32:59,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely, those things happen. Most things happened every single

694
00:32:59,840 --> 00:33:03,600
Speaker 2: year in the NFL, and it's it's just bound to

695
00:33:03,680 --> 00:33:06,800
Speaker 2: and by the way, if it doesn't happen this year,

696
00:33:07,040 --> 00:33:10,640
Speaker 2: it very well could happen next year. It's theirs and hey,

697
00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:14,840
Speaker 2: and while I name those opponents, the same thing can

698
00:33:14,880 --> 00:33:16,520
Speaker 2: be said is we don't know if Detroit's going to

699
00:33:16,560 --> 00:33:19,240
Speaker 2: be the same team. We don't know if Kansas City

700
00:33:19,320 --> 00:33:21,080
Speaker 2: is going to be the same team. We don't know

701
00:33:21,080 --> 00:33:23,320
Speaker 2: if Green Bay is gonna I mentioned Minnesota, We don't.

702
00:33:23,520 --> 00:33:27,120
Speaker 2: I mean, you know, there's questions with everybody, but it's

703
00:33:27,160 --> 00:33:32,320
Speaker 2: different than the schedule that we saw them navigate this past.

704
00:33:32,120 --> 00:33:33,640
Speaker 3: Year, which was a last place schedule.

705
00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:37,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, so kudos to the commanders on what was a

706
00:33:38,040 --> 00:33:42,360
Speaker 2: magnificent rookie season with Jayden Daniels. And imagine him with

707
00:33:42,920 --> 00:33:46,600
Speaker 2: maybe more of a running game or trying to develop

708
00:33:46,640 --> 00:33:49,560
Speaker 2: that or even a few more weapons on the outside

709
00:33:49,640 --> 00:33:52,640
Speaker 2: with Terry McLaurin. Yeah, it could be could be fun

710
00:33:52,680 --> 00:33:55,040
Speaker 2: times in Washington and hopefully they move back to the

711
00:33:55,160 --> 00:33:59,320
Speaker 2: RFK Stadium location. All Right, that's our NFC Championship recap

712
00:33:59,600 --> 00:34:02,680
Speaker 2: coming out next Ian Roddy and myself, Dan Byer will

713
00:34:02,680 --> 00:34:06,200
Speaker 2: take a look at what happened in the NFL coaching carousel,

714
00:34:06,600 --> 00:34:10,799
Speaker 2: because four NFL head coaches were introduced on Monday, will

715
00:34:10,840 --> 00:34:14,719
Speaker 2: break down who actually has an opportunity to succeed in

716
00:34:14,800 --> 00:34:17,960
Speaker 2: their first year with their new team. Mike Carmon's out sick,

717
00:34:18,200 --> 00:34:20,520
Speaker 2: but don't leave us. We'll be back for more next year.

718
00:34:20,640 --> 00:34:25,520
Speaker 2: And I want your flex. Welcome back to I want

719
00:34:25,520 --> 00:34:29,120
Speaker 2: your flex again. Mike Harmon is ill. So you got me,

720
00:34:29,280 --> 00:34:33,160
Speaker 2: Dan Byer and our executive producer Ian Roddy hanging out

721
00:34:33,200 --> 00:34:36,759
Speaker 2: with me as we just recap championship weekend and then

722
00:34:36,760 --> 00:34:38,200
Speaker 2: we deal with some of the other things in the

723
00:34:38,280 --> 00:34:41,400
Speaker 2: NFL before we get to the head coaches. One point

724
00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:44,360
Speaker 2: that was brought up not a shocker in Pittsburgh that

725
00:34:45,239 --> 00:34:48,000
Speaker 2: arn't runny the second the team owners said that he

726
00:34:48,120 --> 00:34:51,080
Speaker 2: believes they'll bring back either Justin Fields or Russell Wilson

727
00:34:51,120 --> 00:34:55,480
Speaker 2: next year, but wouldn't bring back both. That makes total sense.

728
00:34:55,840 --> 00:34:59,360
Speaker 2: The question is if you bring back Fields, is he

729
00:34:59,440 --> 00:35:03,839
Speaker 2: your starter? And if you bring back Russell Wilson, is

730
00:35:04,080 --> 00:35:06,240
Speaker 2: Russell Wilson going to have to compete with anybody else?

731
00:35:06,840 --> 00:35:08,960
Speaker 2: And I would think that if you bring back Russell Wilson,

732
00:35:09,040 --> 00:35:11,560
Speaker 2: he'd be your starter. And if you brought back Justin

733
00:35:11,560 --> 00:35:14,520
Speaker 2: Fields that there may be a competition, but we'll see.

734
00:35:14,560 --> 00:35:16,360
Speaker 2: I don't think you could just give Justin Fields the

735
00:35:16,400 --> 00:35:19,520
Speaker 2: starting job right now, but we'll see how things play

736
00:35:19,520 --> 00:35:21,480
Speaker 2: out in Pittsburgh because it was a rough end to

737
00:35:21,560 --> 00:35:26,520
Speaker 2: their campaign. The Jets, Aaron Glenn introduced as the head

738
00:35:26,520 --> 00:35:29,120
Speaker 2: coach of the Jets and not closing the door. Ian

739
00:35:29,520 --> 00:35:33,240
Speaker 2: on your team bringing back Aaron Rodgers for next season,

740
00:35:33,760 --> 00:35:38,839
Speaker 2: Glenn did say that the team would consider it, talk

741
00:35:38,880 --> 00:35:39,279
Speaker 2: about it.

742
00:35:39,280 --> 00:35:40,399
Speaker 3: They've communicated with.

743
00:35:40,480 --> 00:35:42,319
Speaker 2: Rogers, but they want to get a look at the

744
00:35:42,320 --> 00:35:46,200
Speaker 2: whole picture before deciding. As it stands right now, do

745
00:35:46,239 --> 00:35:48,239
Speaker 2: you have a lean on if you think Rogers will

746
00:35:48,239 --> 00:35:49,279
Speaker 2: return next year or not?

747
00:35:50,920 --> 00:35:54,040
Speaker 5: In terms of if I think he'll return, I'm a

748
00:35:54,360 --> 00:35:57,520
Speaker 5: full disclosure. I have no idea, and I really feel

749
00:35:57,520 --> 00:36:00,800
Speaker 5: like Rogers has no idea. Aaron Gwent has no idea.

750
00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:04,280
Speaker 5: Just the Jets in general have no idea. That's something

751
00:36:05,040 --> 00:36:06,839
Speaker 5: they're gonna have to figure out over the next few

752
00:36:06,880 --> 00:36:09,480
Speaker 5: weeks as Aaron Rodgers himself comes to that decision. But

753
00:36:10,239 --> 00:36:12,680
Speaker 5: in terms of do I want him back, I might

754
00:36:12,680 --> 00:36:14,279
Speaker 5: be in the minority here because I know a lot

755
00:36:14,320 --> 00:36:16,360
Speaker 5: of Jets fans are ready to have him back, especially

756
00:36:16,440 --> 00:36:17,680
Speaker 5: with how the season ended.

757
00:36:17,760 --> 00:36:19,399
Speaker 4: You know, he was pretty strong to end the year.

758
00:36:19,440 --> 00:36:22,120
Speaker 5: But I just for me, I just I just want

759
00:36:22,160 --> 00:36:25,000
Speaker 5: him gone, not because I don't think, like I don't

760
00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:27,719
Speaker 5: think there's a better quarterback option out there, which which

761
00:36:27,719 --> 00:36:30,160
Speaker 5: I guess is kind of a bad thing there to

762
00:36:30,239 --> 00:36:32,640
Speaker 5: let him go in that in that case, but but

763
00:36:32,719 --> 00:36:35,680
Speaker 5: he's Uh, the culture that they had last year was

764
00:36:35,719 --> 00:36:38,719
Speaker 5: so centered on just finger pointing. And it wasn't just him,

765
00:36:38,800 --> 00:36:41,120
Speaker 5: it was just other teammates too. It was Sauce Gardener,

766
00:36:41,239 --> 00:36:44,880
Speaker 5: it was Garrett Wilson, it was you know, Quincy Williams,

767
00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:48,080
Speaker 5: other players on the team, just pointing finger fingers, deflecting

768
00:36:48,080 --> 00:36:50,400
Speaker 5: blame from themselves. And that starts at the top with

769
00:36:50,440 --> 00:36:54,719
Speaker 5: Aaron Rodgers in my opinion, and to me, I just

770
00:36:54,800 --> 00:36:56,480
Speaker 5: I just want to get that out of there. You know,

771
00:36:56,560 --> 00:36:59,279
Speaker 5: it's it's even if he's the best quarterback option, I'm

772
00:36:59,360 --> 00:37:02,440
Speaker 5: fine with rolling with Tyrod Taylor and maybe you know,

773
00:37:02,560 --> 00:37:05,640
Speaker 5: a rookie second rounder or something. Obviously you're not gonna,

774
00:37:06,800 --> 00:37:08,760
Speaker 5: you know, have as much hype going into the season.

775
00:37:08,880 --> 00:37:11,920
Speaker 5: You can't really expect them to make the playoffs in

776
00:37:11,920 --> 00:37:14,719
Speaker 5: that case. But it's Aaron Glenn's first year. There's not

777
00:37:14,760 --> 00:37:17,480
Speaker 5: exactly gonna be a playoff mandate, but you know, who knows,

778
00:37:17,520 --> 00:37:18,279
Speaker 5: Maybe they sneak in.

779
00:37:18,360 --> 00:37:20,440
Speaker 4: But I'm kind of rambling at this point. No, I

780
00:37:20,440 --> 00:37:21,399
Speaker 4: don't want Rogers back.

781
00:37:21,680 --> 00:37:25,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, and that's I think that I think that is

782
00:37:26,320 --> 00:37:31,320
Speaker 2: the more than likely outcome. I actually have a feeling

783
00:37:32,080 --> 00:37:34,360
Speaker 2: Rogers is going to call it quits himself.

784
00:37:34,760 --> 00:37:36,000
Speaker 4: You know, I've thought that too.

785
00:37:36,040 --> 00:37:37,960
Speaker 5: And it's funny because it doesn't seem like that's being

786
00:37:37,960 --> 00:37:40,480
Speaker 5: discussed very much. No, it just kind of seems like

787
00:37:40,520 --> 00:37:42,720
Speaker 5: he needs to decide if he's playing for the Jets.

788
00:37:42,760 --> 00:37:44,160
Speaker 4: But I don't know.

789
00:37:44,239 --> 00:37:48,000
Speaker 5: He finished finished the season with a four touchdown game,

790
00:37:48,440 --> 00:37:51,640
Speaker 5: had a touchdown pass to Devonte Adams through his five

791
00:37:51,719 --> 00:37:53,799
Speaker 5: hundred career touchdown. It wouldn't be the worst way for

792
00:37:53,840 --> 00:37:54,480
Speaker 5: him to walk out.

793
00:37:55,080 --> 00:37:58,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, that seems like hitting those milestones and just of

794
00:37:58,560 --> 00:38:00,240
Speaker 2: what we saw with him at the end of the year.

795
00:38:00,320 --> 00:38:03,399
Speaker 2: And there were injuries too at the end of the

796
00:38:03,400 --> 00:38:06,360
Speaker 2: the at the end of the season that he was

797
00:38:06,400 --> 00:38:07,160
Speaker 2: dealing with.

798
00:38:07,080 --> 00:38:08,680
Speaker 5: And injuries for a forty one year old are not

799
00:38:08,719 --> 00:38:11,080
Speaker 5: the same for injuries for a twenty one year old.

800
00:38:11,400 --> 00:38:14,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, correct, and I honestly like with Aaron Glenn being

801
00:38:14,560 --> 00:38:18,080
Speaker 2: brought in in how that is. I think that you're

802
00:38:18,120 --> 00:38:24,960
Speaker 2: taking Aaron Glenn and it is imperative for him to

803
00:38:25,120 --> 00:38:27,080
Speaker 2: change that culture that has been there.

804
00:38:27,560 --> 00:38:29,840
Speaker 3: So to change the culture, there's also.

805
00:38:29,640 --> 00:38:31,960
Speaker 2: Got to be a lot of change in personnel to

806
00:38:32,080 --> 00:38:34,439
Speaker 2: what you're saying of You just want it to get

807
00:38:34,520 --> 00:38:37,799
Speaker 2: rid of it, and I think that's step one. I

808
00:38:37,800 --> 00:38:40,760
Speaker 2: don't think that Ben Johnson was brought in for his mind.

809
00:38:41,600 --> 00:38:45,520
Speaker 2: Aaron Glenn, I think was brought in to change everything.

810
00:38:45,040 --> 00:38:46,600
Speaker 3: That was around it.

811
00:38:46,719 --> 00:38:49,799
Speaker 2: That's right, Like Ben Johnson isn't going to Chicago to

812
00:38:49,880 --> 00:38:52,720
Speaker 2: change the culture. You're trying to make sure that Caleb

813
00:38:52,760 --> 00:38:56,600
Speaker 2: Williams works, where Aaron Glenn is trying to do what

814
00:38:56,680 --> 00:38:58,360
Speaker 2: Dan Campbell kind of did in Detroit.

815
00:38:59,160 --> 00:39:00,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think that's totally right.

816
00:39:00,719 --> 00:39:04,000
Speaker 5: And I mean he kind of you know, that came

817
00:39:04,040 --> 00:39:08,080
Speaker 5: across pretty clearly in his press conference, his introductory press

818
00:39:08,080 --> 00:39:08,720
Speaker 5: conference today.

819
00:39:09,239 --> 00:39:12,600
Speaker 4: There's something a quote you know where the Jets were

820
00:39:12,640 --> 00:39:13,600
Speaker 4: built for this bleep?

821
00:39:13,640 --> 00:39:17,320
Speaker 5: It's yeah, good stuff, man. He knows how to pander

822
00:39:17,400 --> 00:39:19,360
Speaker 5: to the fans. It doesn't mean he's going to be successful,

823
00:39:19,400 --> 00:39:21,280
Speaker 5: but you know, he at least won the press conference.

824
00:39:21,480 --> 00:39:24,040
Speaker 2: No, but there is also something too when you spend

825
00:39:24,040 --> 00:39:27,000
Speaker 2: a majority of your career with a team, right, Like

826
00:39:27,120 --> 00:39:29,960
Speaker 2: I actually, I don't think that's going to pay off

827
00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:32,040
Speaker 2: in Week eight, in the third quarter of a game,

828
00:39:32,680 --> 00:39:35,440
Speaker 2: but I do think that it helps in this scenario

829
00:39:35,920 --> 00:39:38,560
Speaker 2: and does help in your passion. I don't think you're

830
00:39:38,600 --> 00:39:42,480
Speaker 2: gonna work any less because you didn't play for a team,

831
00:39:42,960 --> 00:39:45,959
Speaker 2: But I do think that when he says something like that,

832
00:39:46,960 --> 00:39:51,000
Speaker 2: it's different than another coach you just came in who's

833
00:39:51,040 --> 00:39:54,240
Speaker 2: not familiar with anything, right, and says those sort of things.

834
00:39:54,400 --> 00:39:56,680
Speaker 5: And he was part of a Jets turnaround as a

835
00:39:56,719 --> 00:39:59,600
Speaker 5: player when he was, you know, playing under Bill Parcells.

836
00:39:59,680 --> 00:40:04,120
Speaker 5: That sure they were a dumpster, dumpster fire franchise going

837
00:40:04,120 --> 00:40:06,640
Speaker 5: into the two thousands, and he was He was on

838
00:40:06,680 --> 00:40:08,880
Speaker 5: that team when it when it turned around, and you know,

839
00:40:09,280 --> 00:40:11,680
Speaker 5: they kept a strong culture all the way through the

840
00:40:11,680 --> 00:40:14,480
Speaker 5: Rex Ryan years and then obviously since then it's fallen apart.

841
00:40:14,520 --> 00:40:17,759
Speaker 2: But he was one of the fore head coaches that

842
00:40:17,880 --> 00:40:21,239
Speaker 2: was introduced the Monday. Pete Carroll was another with the

843
00:40:21,320 --> 00:40:25,680
Speaker 2: Raiders on John in John Spytech coming over from the Buccaneers,

844
00:40:25,719 --> 00:40:29,320
Speaker 2: introduced as the general manager. One thing has changed. Pete

845
00:40:29,320 --> 00:40:32,319
Speaker 2: Carroll does not shut up. He does not shut up

846
00:40:32,360 --> 00:40:35,760
Speaker 2: at all, just keeps talking and talking and talking. And

847
00:40:35,960 --> 00:40:38,520
Speaker 2: that was the case still with all the energy in

848
00:40:38,560 --> 00:40:42,000
Speaker 2: the world. It's the same Pete Carroll that goes on

849
00:40:42,040 --> 00:40:44,000
Speaker 2: and on. And there was a point where a reporter

850
00:40:44,239 --> 00:40:48,279
Speaker 2: actually asked John spy Tech a question and Pete was like, sorry,

851
00:40:48,320 --> 00:40:49,160
Speaker 2: I didn't see where you were.

852
00:40:49,160 --> 00:40:50,240
Speaker 3: What was the question?

853
00:40:50,320 --> 00:40:55,439
Speaker 2: And the reporter goes John, and then he's talking about yea, Pete,

854
00:40:55,640 --> 00:40:58,440
Speaker 2: guess what. They actually may want to talk to somebody else.

855
00:40:58,960 --> 00:41:01,359
Speaker 2: There was nothing different about Pete Carroll except that maybe

856
00:41:01,400 --> 00:41:03,479
Speaker 2: he was a year older since we last saw him

857
00:41:04,200 --> 00:41:07,279
Speaker 2: as the Seahawks head coach talking the way that he

858
00:41:07,480 --> 00:41:10,200
Speaker 2: was with the Raiders. Just a long way to go

859
00:41:10,239 --> 00:41:13,000
Speaker 2: in terms of roster building there. You know, your Jets

860
00:41:13,000 --> 00:41:16,520
Speaker 2: pick seventh, the Raiders pick ahead of them at six,

861
00:41:17,040 --> 00:41:19,160
Speaker 2: and I don't think that's necessarily a bad thing for

862
00:41:19,280 --> 00:41:23,239
Speaker 2: either team because just of the questions that we have

863
00:41:23,360 --> 00:41:28,320
Speaker 2: about this quarterback class with cam Ward and Shador Sanders,

864
00:41:29,160 --> 00:41:31,680
Speaker 2: I actually think for these teams in the long haul,

865
00:41:31,960 --> 00:41:36,000
Speaker 2: they probably need better picks in the top ten, more

866
00:41:36,120 --> 00:41:40,800
Speaker 2: foundation picks as opposed to drafting the future quarterback right now.

867
00:41:41,600 --> 00:41:44,120
Speaker 2: I think that the Raiders and Jets, while it may

868
00:41:44,120 --> 00:41:46,840
Speaker 2: not be identical, at least for they pick in the draft,

869
00:41:47,360 --> 00:41:49,440
Speaker 2: if you have Pete Carroll, they're trying to change the culture.

870
00:41:49,760 --> 00:41:51,080
Speaker 3: Same thing with Aaron Glenn.

871
00:41:51,320 --> 00:41:53,640
Speaker 2: I don't know if youd necessarily do that with a quarterback,

872
00:41:53,880 --> 00:41:55,759
Speaker 2: and so at least they have I think they have.

873
00:41:55,800 --> 00:41:57,680
Speaker 3: That going for them. I know you'd love it.

874
00:41:57,760 --> 00:42:00,520
Speaker 2: Maybe a one, two or top three pick six or

875
00:42:00,560 --> 00:42:03,120
Speaker 2: seven right now. I think they could get a solid player.

876
00:42:03,120 --> 00:42:05,320
Speaker 2: And what is a draft that may only be top

877
00:42:05,400 --> 00:42:08,520
Speaker 2: eight or you know, top nine or ten in terms

878
00:42:08,600 --> 00:42:11,880
Speaker 2: of real true first round prospects. I think the Jets

879
00:42:11,880 --> 00:42:15,880
Speaker 2: and Raiders are sitting in decent spots to rebuild teams

880
00:42:15,880 --> 00:42:17,000
Speaker 2: like they need to be rebuilt.

881
00:42:17,120 --> 00:42:17,520
Speaker 4: They are.

882
00:42:17,560 --> 00:42:19,799
Speaker 5: But that's also I think it's so interesting that that

883
00:42:19,880 --> 00:42:22,400
Speaker 5: Pete Carroll is, you know, it's only a three year contract.

884
00:42:22,640 --> 00:42:25,640
Speaker 5: It's three years, right, yep, Okay, that it's only a

885
00:42:25,640 --> 00:42:27,719
Speaker 5: three year thing, so it's pretty short term. And then

886
00:42:27,760 --> 00:42:30,880
Speaker 5: he himself, like you mentioned, he said at the press conference,

887
00:42:31,080 --> 00:42:33,120
Speaker 5: you know we're going for it right away. This isn't

888
00:42:33,160 --> 00:42:37,080
Speaker 5: some slow rebuild so I guess in that sense, it's

889
00:42:37,160 --> 00:42:41,240
Speaker 5: not the ideal year to not be able to grab

890
00:42:41,280 --> 00:42:44,120
Speaker 5: your quarterback when you need one, because the Raiders don't

891
00:42:44,160 --> 00:42:46,560
Speaker 5: have it. You know, it's aid O, Aidan O'Connell and

892
00:42:46,600 --> 00:42:48,800
Speaker 5: Gardner Minshew right now. So I don't know how quickly

893
00:42:48,840 --> 00:42:50,800
Speaker 5: Pete's going to be able to turn around the franchise

894
00:42:51,120 --> 00:42:53,120
Speaker 5: if he's not able to get a young rookie quarterback

895
00:42:53,120 --> 00:42:53,439
Speaker 5: in there.

896
00:42:53,880 --> 00:42:58,040
Speaker 2: It was in Seattle and Pete actually made this comment

897
00:42:58,280 --> 00:43:01,960
Speaker 2: in the press conference on Monday, saying, we are going

898
00:43:02,000 --> 00:43:04,279
Speaker 2: to go through a lot of guys. There are a

899
00:43:04,320 --> 00:43:08,719
Speaker 2: lot of we we go through the roster and this

900
00:43:08,800 --> 00:43:11,399
Speaker 2: is this is who we're going to go through. We're

901
00:43:11,400 --> 00:43:13,360
Speaker 2: going to be They're going to leave the league in

902
00:43:13,360 --> 00:43:17,080
Speaker 2: transactions like there is there's no doubt about that. And

903
00:43:17,440 --> 00:43:19,000
Speaker 2: so there's gonna be a lot of guys that are

904
00:43:19,080 --> 00:43:22,080
Speaker 2: in and out and they're going to try to find

905
00:43:22,280 --> 00:43:25,759
Speaker 2: their right guys. It sounds very cliche, but it was

906
00:43:25,800 --> 00:43:28,960
Speaker 2: a system that allowed that team to turn around and

907
00:43:29,920 --> 00:43:32,720
Speaker 2: be good and you know the two or three years

908
00:43:32,920 --> 00:43:36,600
Speaker 2: and then compete for a Super Bowl when Carol was there. Granted,

909
00:43:36,600 --> 00:43:40,160
Speaker 2: they had you know, Earl Thomas, and Russell o'coon were

910
00:43:40,200 --> 00:43:42,360
Speaker 2: first round picks in a year where you know, Seattle

911
00:43:42,400 --> 00:43:45,480
Speaker 2: had two first round picks. He had two cornerstone guys

912
00:43:45,520 --> 00:43:47,560
Speaker 2: that were a part of that. Raiders are going to

913
00:43:47,640 --> 00:43:50,760
Speaker 2: have to find that. Jets may have to find something

914
00:43:50,800 --> 00:43:53,840
Speaker 2: like that as well. But I think that I don't

915
00:43:53,880 --> 00:43:56,120
Speaker 2: know how quickly it's going to be within that division

916
00:43:56,400 --> 00:43:57,880
Speaker 2: you're going to be able to turn it around, but

917
00:43:58,480 --> 00:44:00,920
Speaker 2: they'll win some games. It's just a tough task, I

918
00:44:00,960 --> 00:44:03,440
Speaker 2: think overall for them to turn it completely around.

919
00:44:03,640 --> 00:44:06,439
Speaker 5: Yeah, how do you feel Dan about Pete Carroll seeing

920
00:44:06,520 --> 00:44:07,439
Speaker 5: him coach another team?

921
00:44:07,480 --> 00:44:07,759
Speaker 3: Does that?

922
00:44:08,520 --> 00:44:09,879
Speaker 4: I don't know? Are you? Are you rooting for him

923
00:44:09,880 --> 00:44:10,160
Speaker 4: at all?

924
00:44:10,239 --> 00:44:14,799
Speaker 2: Or I I've been a Seahawks fan long enough that

925
00:44:15,480 --> 00:44:16,160
Speaker 2: I am not.

926
00:44:17,480 --> 00:44:22,280
Speaker 3: I am not tied to him only being a.

927
00:44:22,160 --> 00:44:26,480
Speaker 2: Seahawks head coach, gotcha. Plus there's the USC years, yep,

928
00:44:27,600 --> 00:44:28,439
Speaker 2: I remember though.

929
00:44:28,600 --> 00:44:30,960
Speaker 3: I remember a lot of Seahawks eras.

930
00:44:31,040 --> 00:44:34,799
Speaker 2: The home Gren era, which was great, the Dennis Eriksson era,

931
00:44:34,920 --> 00:44:38,279
Speaker 2: which was just basically eight and eight, the Tom Flora's era,

932
00:44:38,440 --> 00:44:42,080
Speaker 2: which was atrocious, the Chuck Knox era, which was great

933
00:44:42,120 --> 00:44:46,440
Speaker 2: at times and fluctuating. And so I feel like I've run

934
00:44:46,480 --> 00:44:49,080
Speaker 2: the Gamut did. Jim mora Era only lasted one season.

935
00:44:49,440 --> 00:44:52,520
Speaker 2: So while it was well, Pete Carroll has been such

936
00:44:52,560 --> 00:44:56,400
Speaker 2: a fixed uere with Seattle and the Seahawks in the NFL,

937
00:44:56,400 --> 00:44:58,080
Speaker 2: and I think one of the reasons why they became

938
00:44:58,120 --> 00:45:01,560
Speaker 2: one of the marquee teams in the NFL. It doesn't

939
00:45:01,640 --> 00:45:03,400
Speaker 2: have the effect on me that it may have with

940
00:45:03,480 --> 00:45:05,879
Speaker 2: other Seahawk fans, just because I just feel like I've

941
00:45:06,480 --> 00:45:08,520
Speaker 2: I followed the team for forty years and he's been

942
00:45:08,560 --> 00:45:10,799
Speaker 2: a big part of it. But I also remember him

943
00:45:10,840 --> 00:45:13,600
Speaker 2: at usc heck, I remembered him. I remembered him with

944
00:45:13,640 --> 00:45:16,960
Speaker 2: the Patriots and the Jets, and I remember him even

945
00:45:17,120 --> 00:45:20,800
Speaker 2: as the assistant was when he did the choke call

946
00:45:21,239 --> 00:45:25,560
Speaker 2: on the kick like against the Dolphins when Pete Stoyanovitch,

947
00:45:25,600 --> 00:45:27,680
Speaker 2: I think it was missed kick. Like I remember those

948
00:45:27,719 --> 00:45:31,160
Speaker 2: things about Pete Carroll. So it's not necessarily as weird

949
00:45:31,200 --> 00:45:32,799
Speaker 2: as it would seem to be that he was in

950
00:45:34,040 --> 00:45:35,800
Speaker 2: that he's coaching again. It was a little different to

951
00:45:35,800 --> 00:45:38,040
Speaker 2: see him in the black instead of just like a

952
00:45:38,080 --> 00:45:39,760
Speaker 2: gray or blue longsleeve shirt.

953
00:45:39,880 --> 00:45:41,080
Speaker 3: But yeah, a.

954
00:45:41,080 --> 00:45:44,040
Speaker 4: Little off pudding for sure, But yeah.

955
00:45:43,719 --> 00:45:46,239
Speaker 2: It was weirder honestly, to see Mike McDonald on the

956
00:45:46,280 --> 00:45:49,279
Speaker 2: sideline as the head coach for a game than it

957
00:45:49,360 --> 00:45:51,600
Speaker 2: was to see Pete, Like it was weirder to see

958
00:45:51,600 --> 00:45:54,719
Speaker 2: Pete not there than it was to see Pete in

959
00:45:54,760 --> 00:45:56,480
Speaker 2: different colors, if that makes anything.

960
00:45:56,560 --> 00:45:58,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's not interesting way of putting it, for sure.

961
00:45:59,040 --> 00:46:03,640
Speaker 2: The headline we'll say for last, Brian Schottenheimer at the Cowboys.

962
00:46:04,080 --> 00:46:06,239
Speaker 2: I'll tell you what, I think Liam Cohen's going to

963
00:46:06,320 --> 00:46:09,960
Speaker 2: do really well with the Jaguars because I don't think

964
00:46:10,040 --> 00:46:13,520
Speaker 2: that the press conference or at least the social media

965
00:46:13,560 --> 00:46:15,120
Speaker 2: efforts could have gone any worse.

966
00:46:17,920 --> 00:46:20,720
Speaker 3: That was really good. Ian, that was really good.

967
00:46:21,040 --> 00:46:24,360
Speaker 2: I felt so bad for him because all and honestly,

968
00:46:24,400 --> 00:46:26,160
Speaker 2: if I'm a Jaguars fan, I'm like, I don't care.

969
00:46:26,239 --> 00:46:27,520
Speaker 3: I just want him to coach football.

970
00:46:27,800 --> 00:46:29,839
Speaker 2: I want him to make sure that Trevor Lawrence is right,

971
00:46:30,080 --> 00:46:31,720
Speaker 2: and I want him to get the football to Brian

972
00:46:31,760 --> 00:46:35,200
Speaker 2: Thomas and get it to Travis Etn And I want

973
00:46:35,200 --> 00:46:37,640
Speaker 2: to score a bunch of points and that's what he's

974
00:46:37,680 --> 00:46:40,000
Speaker 2: there to do. So I don't care if he says duval,

975
00:46:40,120 --> 00:46:44,120
Speaker 2: I do not think it's an Adam Gase eyes, Yeah,

976
00:46:44,120 --> 00:46:47,520
Speaker 2: crazy eyes sort of thing. I'm actually glad that my

977
00:46:48,400 --> 00:46:53,560
Speaker 2: offensive minded coach may not be as well suited into

978
00:46:53,560 --> 00:46:55,080
Speaker 2: the cool social media stuff.

979
00:46:55,120 --> 00:46:57,280
Speaker 5: So you think it's closer to the Dan Campbell biting

980
00:46:57,320 --> 00:47:02,080
Speaker 5: kneecaps version of a press opposed to the gase.

981
00:47:02,200 --> 00:47:05,359
Speaker 2: In the possibilities of how it could turn out, Yeah,

982
00:47:05,360 --> 00:47:07,279
Speaker 2: I think it would lean more towards the Campbell than

983
00:47:07,280 --> 00:47:09,480
Speaker 2: it would the gay scenario.

984
00:47:09,520 --> 00:47:12,160
Speaker 5: I'm sure Jaguars fans will be happy to hear that.

985
00:47:12,160 --> 00:47:13,880
Speaker 2: That would be the least of my worries that he

986
00:47:13,960 --> 00:47:18,200
Speaker 2: knows how to say do all. They had him doing

987
00:47:18,239 --> 00:47:21,040
Speaker 2: a bunch of stuff too. I saw him do I

988
00:47:21,080 --> 00:47:23,320
Speaker 2: think it may have been a thing with maybe members

989
00:47:23,320 --> 00:47:26,000
Speaker 2: of the staff, or if it was.

990
00:47:26,000 --> 00:47:28,480
Speaker 5: I did see that, yeah, where it was the auditorium

991
00:47:28,520 --> 00:47:28,880
Speaker 5: behind it.

992
00:47:29,000 --> 00:47:30,600
Speaker 4: Yet one he had.

993
00:47:30,520 --> 00:47:32,440
Speaker 2: A cell phone. You know that he's trying to do

994
00:47:32,480 --> 00:47:35,640
Speaker 2: a selfie. It's tough enough to do a selfie like that,

995
00:47:35,719 --> 00:47:36,880
Speaker 2: and then he's got to do it in front of

996
00:47:36,920 --> 00:47:39,080
Speaker 2: like one hundred people and turn around.

997
00:47:39,280 --> 00:47:41,399
Speaker 5: But at least he said it correctly that time, did

998
00:47:41,440 --> 00:47:43,839
Speaker 5: he Yeah? I mean, I mean maybe he did, because

999
00:47:43,880 --> 00:47:45,520
Speaker 5: it was a whole crowd. You heard it as like

1000
00:47:46,080 --> 00:47:49,919
Speaker 5: a wave of you know an audience saying it, but still.

1001
00:47:50,000 --> 00:47:52,240
Speaker 3: I would not be worried about that. I would.

1002
00:47:52,360 --> 00:47:54,840
Speaker 2: I'm actually glad that, if I'm a Jaguars fan, that

1003
00:47:54,880 --> 00:47:57,839
Speaker 2: my head coach does it poorly, because that means he's

1004
00:47:57,840 --> 00:48:00,600
Speaker 2: focused on the right things. And then we finally we

1005
00:48:00,640 --> 00:48:04,080
Speaker 2: get to Brian Schottenheimer, who I actually feel bad for,

1006
00:48:04,840 --> 00:48:07,520
Speaker 2: and I said this on my I think I said

1007
00:48:07,520 --> 00:48:08,359
Speaker 2: this on the Sunday Show.

1008
00:48:08,400 --> 00:48:08,560
Speaker 3: Ian.

1009
00:48:08,600 --> 00:48:10,440
Speaker 2: If not, it was in my notes, and you can

1010
00:48:10,480 --> 00:48:13,520
Speaker 2: vouch for me. He can look at my notes. Schottenheimer's

1011
00:48:13,560 --> 00:48:17,319
Speaker 2: fifty one years old, has a last name that is

1012
00:48:18,320 --> 00:48:21,239
Speaker 2: may not be royalty in the NFL, but it is

1013
00:48:21,360 --> 00:48:25,480
Speaker 2: very highly thought of carry and cashe yes, absolutely with

1014
00:48:25,560 --> 00:48:28,880
Speaker 2: his dad, the late great Marty Schottenheimer. And he's getting

1015
00:48:28,880 --> 00:48:32,600
Speaker 2: his chance at fifty one to coach the Dallas Cowboys

1016
00:48:33,000 --> 00:48:36,759
Speaker 2: and it should be a feel good story and it

1017
00:48:36,840 --> 00:48:39,719
Speaker 2: is anything but. And that's because of Jerry Jones. That's

1018
00:48:39,719 --> 00:48:42,480
Speaker 2: because of what Jerry Jones says, and Jerry Jones even

1019
00:48:42,520 --> 00:48:45,719
Speaker 2: said it was it was not a glamorous higher I

1020
00:48:45,800 --> 00:48:47,160
Speaker 2: think it was his phrase that.

1021
00:48:47,160 --> 00:48:49,319
Speaker 4: He used as he's sitting right there, yeah, Like, I.

1022
00:48:50,160 --> 00:48:53,160
Speaker 2: Like, how can you say that when he's sitting right there.

1023
00:48:53,320 --> 00:48:55,680
Speaker 5: Yeah, but I think Brian, Yeah, he's saying how he's

1024
00:48:55,840 --> 00:48:58,360
Speaker 5: out of his comfort zone making this higher and stuff.

1025
00:48:58,400 --> 00:49:00,160
Speaker 4: It's like he's sitting right there, Jerry.

1026
00:49:00,080 --> 00:49:03,960
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, read the room. But that's Jerry. I hope.

1027
00:49:04,040 --> 00:49:07,120
Speaker 2: I actually hope he succeeds, like in a way that

1028
00:49:07,200 --> 00:49:11,880
Speaker 2: I hope Mike McCarthy succeeds. People want Jerry Jones to fail,

1029
00:49:12,320 --> 00:49:14,799
Speaker 2: and so then they mock the hires, and I end

1030
00:49:14,880 --> 00:49:19,719
Speaker 2: up rooting for these guys to succeed because people said

1031
00:49:19,760 --> 00:49:22,879
Speaker 2: that they can't do it, or that they're dumb, or

1032
00:49:23,080 --> 00:49:24,280
Speaker 2: it's just a bad hire.

1033
00:49:24,920 --> 00:49:27,400
Speaker 3: I hope Brian Schottenheimer does have.

1034
00:49:27,320 --> 00:49:30,719
Speaker 2: Some success and the Cowboys can continue their ways because

1035
00:49:30,760 --> 00:49:33,000
Speaker 2: I'll tell you this, he's going to be their coach

1036
00:49:33,040 --> 00:49:35,839
Speaker 2: for the next four years, oh however long that contract is.

1037
00:49:36,360 --> 00:49:38,480
Speaker 2: So I hope it at least works out for him.

1038
00:49:38,920 --> 00:49:41,000
Speaker 2: Otherwise we're going to see the complete downfall of the

1039
00:49:41,040 --> 00:49:43,120
Speaker 2: Dallas Cowboys because Jerry Jones is not going to fire

1040
00:49:43,200 --> 00:49:45,279
Speaker 2: him if he just gave him a new contracts.

1041
00:49:45,360 --> 00:49:49,480
Speaker 5: It's true, but also I'm going to say hearing Carrie Rhodes,

1042
00:49:49,960 --> 00:49:52,839
Speaker 5: who played under him, say that he doesn't think he'll

1043
00:49:52,840 --> 00:49:54,680
Speaker 5: make a good head coach. That to me was all

1044
00:49:54,719 --> 00:49:56,719
Speaker 5: I needed to hear, you know, someone who actually played

1045
00:49:56,800 --> 00:49:59,040
Speaker 5: under him saying he doesn't believe it's good. Yeah, because

1046
00:49:59,120 --> 00:50:01,400
Speaker 5: at least the coaches who don't end up working out

1047
00:50:01,480 --> 00:50:03,799
Speaker 5: at least going into it, there's optimism around it. But

1048
00:50:03,840 --> 00:50:05,880
Speaker 5: this is it just feels like from the start people

1049
00:50:05,880 --> 00:50:08,880
Speaker 5: are just doubting it, including people like Carry who played

1050
00:50:08,960 --> 00:50:12,279
Speaker 5: under him. So and I don't think that's unfair to Shotenheim.

1051
00:50:12,560 --> 00:50:14,520
Speaker 5: I think it's they know better than we do. And yeah,

1052
00:50:14,800 --> 00:50:15,759
Speaker 5: I'm going to listen to them.

1053
00:50:16,080 --> 00:50:18,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I wasn't even thinking of Kerry's opinion. And

1054
00:50:18,600 --> 00:50:20,600
Speaker 2: I'm glad that Kerry gave his opinion because he was

1055
00:50:20,600 --> 00:50:24,880
Speaker 2: an honest opinion and was from his experience of playing

1056
00:50:25,480 --> 00:50:29,960
Speaker 2: under a staff that included Brian Schottenheimer. I will say

1057
00:50:30,840 --> 00:50:35,160
Speaker 2: that if Schottenheimer isn't going to have that sort of

1058
00:50:35,200 --> 00:50:38,680
Speaker 2: ability to have that role, I'd be a little worried

1059
00:50:38,840 --> 00:50:42,600
Speaker 2: on you would have to fill out a staff that

1060
00:50:42,680 --> 00:50:46,319
Speaker 2: would be able to carry that role. And considering Matt

1061
00:50:46,360 --> 00:50:49,520
Speaker 2: Eberfluss is expected to be the guy of defensive coordinator,

1062
00:50:49,960 --> 00:50:54,040
Speaker 2: that does not vode great for Dallas, but Iberflus's defense

1063
00:50:54,320 --> 00:50:58,720
Speaker 2: at times, the bar defense was really good, and hopefully

1064
00:50:58,719 --> 00:51:00,920
Speaker 2: he can do it with Dallas once to get everything straight.

1065
00:51:00,960 --> 00:51:04,359
Speaker 2: Schottenheimer's obviously got the offense. It's the reason why he's

1066
00:51:04,400 --> 00:51:08,000
Speaker 2: the head coach. But yeah, we shall see. I am

1067
00:51:08,040 --> 00:51:11,600
Speaker 2: actually rooting for Brian Schottenheimer though in the to at

1068
00:51:11,640 --> 00:51:13,439
Speaker 2: least succeed to prove some people wrong.

1069
00:51:14,440 --> 00:51:15,000
Speaker 3: We'll see.

1070
00:51:15,719 --> 00:51:18,759
Speaker 2: Those were the head coach hirings that we had obviously,

1071
00:51:18,920 --> 00:51:24,560
Speaker 2: Mike Vrabel introduced with the Patriots previously, Ben Johnson introduced

1072
00:51:24,680 --> 00:51:27,279
Speaker 2: last week as the Bears head coach. Those were the

1073
00:51:27,280 --> 00:51:30,160
Speaker 2: two biggest names Ian mentioned earlier on the podcast.

1074
00:51:30,160 --> 00:51:32,359
Speaker 3: There's just one left to go and that's the New

1075
00:51:32,520 --> 00:51:33,240
Speaker 3: Orleans Saints.

1076
00:51:33,840 --> 00:51:38,319
Speaker 2: And I just actually I just had some odds sent

1077
00:51:38,400 --> 00:51:44,000
Speaker 2: to me on the Saints hire of the Let me

1078
00:51:44,000 --> 00:51:46,640
Speaker 2: see if I can quick bring this up.

1079
00:51:46,840 --> 00:51:48,799
Speaker 4: Well, who would you hire if you were if you

1080
00:51:48,800 --> 00:51:49,440
Speaker 4: were the Saints?

1081
00:51:49,560 --> 00:51:56,240
Speaker 2: Well, Mike McCarthy was the odds on leader of having

1082
00:51:56,600 --> 00:51:58,000
Speaker 2: of having the best odds.

1083
00:51:58,040 --> 00:52:00,600
Speaker 5: I feel like that's who I would go with, just

1084
00:52:00,600 --> 00:52:03,279
Speaker 5: because I mean not that I view him as some

1085
00:52:03,440 --> 00:52:06,239
Speaker 5: end all, be all incredible coach, but he's someone with

1086
00:52:06,320 --> 00:52:09,080
Speaker 5: where the Saints are at, especially because they're the last

1087
00:52:09,120 --> 00:52:11,520
Speaker 5: ones to hire a coach. I think they just need

1088
00:52:11,560 --> 00:52:14,239
Speaker 5: someone with experience who knows how to win games, and

1089
00:52:14,280 --> 00:52:17,440
Speaker 5: that's something both stops. McCarthy's been at. He's won games,

1090
00:52:17,600 --> 00:52:19,919
Speaker 5: So that's where I'm that's where my head space would

1091
00:52:19,960 --> 00:52:20,120
Speaker 5: be at.

1092
00:52:20,160 --> 00:52:23,320
Speaker 2: Of on the Saints, Kellen Moore is gonna interview with them.

1093
00:52:23,680 --> 00:52:26,680
Speaker 2: This This is the This is the odds list that

1094
00:52:26,800 --> 00:52:32,560
Speaker 2: was said to me vssports Betting dot AG Mike McCarthy

1095
00:52:32,800 --> 00:52:36,319
Speaker 2: minus three hundred so the clear favorite right now, one

1096
00:52:36,360 --> 00:52:39,040
Speaker 2: to three odds. Kellen Moore, who will interview with the

1097
00:52:39,040 --> 00:52:42,480
Speaker 2: Saints plus two fifty, Darren Rizzy who is the inner

1098
00:52:42,680 --> 00:52:47,439
Speaker 2: interim head coach seven to one, Anthony Weaver nine to one,

1099
00:52:47,640 --> 00:52:51,239
Speaker 2: Mike Kafka nine to one, and Cliff Kingsbury ten to one.

1100
00:52:52,080 --> 00:52:55,560
Speaker 5: It's interesting, I mean, I Mike Kafka being on there's

1101
00:52:55,640 --> 00:52:59,080
Speaker 5: interesting because, like I remember him being a hot head

1102
00:52:59,080 --> 00:53:01,880
Speaker 5: coaching name or offensive coordinator name, because he was the

1103
00:53:01,920 --> 00:53:04,600
Speaker 5: quarterbacks coach for the Chiefs when they kind of when

1104
00:53:04,640 --> 00:53:07,319
Speaker 5: Mahomes was having his ascension. But since then, what's he

1105
00:53:07,400 --> 00:53:09,360
Speaker 5: really done? You know, he failed Daniel Jones.

1106
00:53:09,960 --> 00:53:11,239
Speaker 4: I don't know. I don't want to make this a

1107
00:53:11,360 --> 00:53:12,600
Speaker 4: Mike Kafka piling on.

1108
00:53:13,719 --> 00:53:15,600
Speaker 2: Well, I like how you do it with Harmon's out

1109
00:53:15,680 --> 00:53:19,200
Speaker 2: because he's a Northwestern guy Kafka is, and so you

1110
00:53:19,280 --> 00:53:22,920
Speaker 2: did it in a safe place where Carmon wouldn't get

1111
00:53:22,920 --> 00:53:27,560
Speaker 2: after you. That Kafka I think was in conversations last year,

1112
00:53:27,600 --> 00:53:30,160
Speaker 2: even with the Seahawks as a possibility.

1113
00:53:30,239 --> 00:53:31,400
Speaker 4: Well, you're right, I remember that.

1114
00:53:31,800 --> 00:53:32,719
Speaker 3: So yeah, but.

1115
00:53:34,320 --> 00:53:36,799
Speaker 2: The McCarthy odds are tough to turn away from. But

1116
00:53:37,280 --> 00:53:40,200
Speaker 2: the fact that all these teams, the fact that we

1117
00:53:40,239 --> 00:53:45,600
Speaker 2: had four introductory press conferences on Monday, Yeah, just tells

1118
00:53:45,640 --> 00:53:49,000
Speaker 2: me that maybe teams were just itching to make hires

1119
00:53:49,080 --> 00:53:52,360
Speaker 2: and go. And now with the late, the late Super

1120
00:53:52,400 --> 00:53:55,239
Speaker 2: Bowl stuff that we have, if the Saints are the

1121
00:53:55,239 --> 00:53:58,040
Speaker 2: only one out there, why rush as a wait to

1122
00:53:58,120 --> 00:54:00,680
Speaker 2: hear from everybody you can. And if it's going to

1123
00:54:00,760 --> 00:54:03,800
Speaker 2: be Kellen Moore, fine, wait for Cliff Kingsbury. His season's

1124
00:54:03,840 --> 00:54:06,480
Speaker 2: now over. Talk to him. You've got nobody else to

1125
00:54:06,520 --> 00:54:08,879
Speaker 2: compete with, so you might as well just take your time.

1126
00:54:08,960 --> 00:54:10,920
Speaker 2: The only thing that you would have a disadvantage of

1127
00:54:11,040 --> 00:54:13,960
Speaker 2: is maybe figuring out who that person's.

1128
00:54:13,560 --> 00:54:14,960
Speaker 3: Going to have as a staff.

1129
00:54:15,200 --> 00:54:17,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, when you bring them in because of the hirings

1130
00:54:17,600 --> 00:54:20,680
Speaker 2: that are made, but you're not running up against anybody

1131
00:54:20,680 --> 00:54:22,200
Speaker 2: competing to make any hires.

1132
00:54:22,040 --> 00:54:22,960
Speaker 4: It's the staff.

1133
00:54:22,960 --> 00:54:24,960
Speaker 5: And then I would also say you're at a disadvantage

1134
00:54:25,000 --> 00:54:27,759
Speaker 5: because you can't go to like draft events like the

1135
00:54:27,800 --> 00:54:29,879
Speaker 5: Senior Bowl. Because the Senior Bowl is going on right now,

1136
00:54:29,880 --> 00:54:32,200
Speaker 5: and that's sure that tons of NFL teams like to go,

1137
00:54:32,280 --> 00:54:37,480
Speaker 5: and every year there's a few prospects who rise significantly

1138
00:54:37,760 --> 00:54:40,480
Speaker 5: because they get good tape in front of NFL scouts.

1139
00:54:40,520 --> 00:54:42,720
Speaker 5: So for the Saints to not be able to go

1140
00:54:43,040 --> 00:54:45,520
Speaker 5: because they don't have a I mean, well, actually Mickey

1141
00:54:45,560 --> 00:54:47,279
Speaker 5: Loomis is still there, so I guess they do have

1142
00:54:47,320 --> 00:54:49,080
Speaker 5: a scouting staff going scratch that.

1143
00:54:49,239 --> 00:54:50,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, you can get you can get a look in

1144
00:54:50,840 --> 00:54:51,640
Speaker 3: plus some.

1145
00:54:51,640 --> 00:54:53,120
Speaker 4: Of your head coach, though still hurts.

1146
00:54:53,160 --> 00:54:56,600
Speaker 2: I would say, I think I think it's I think

1147
00:54:56,600 --> 00:55:00,839
Speaker 2: it's I think it's minimal for what we've what we've

1148
00:55:00,880 --> 00:55:03,719
Speaker 2: got right now. I would not want to wait this song.

1149
00:55:03,760 --> 00:55:06,600
Speaker 2: Seahawks said they waited the second the longest last year

1150
00:55:07,040 --> 00:55:10,000
Speaker 2: to name a head coach. I don't I don't think

1151
00:55:10,000 --> 00:55:12,719
Speaker 2: it's great, but at least if you're in the situation,

1152
00:55:13,400 --> 00:55:16,839
Speaker 2: take the advantages of it and use it to your advantage,

1153
00:55:17,000 --> 00:55:20,200
Speaker 2: and we'll find we'll find out soon enough, just who

1154
00:55:20,239 --> 00:55:23,000
Speaker 2: knows if we'll find out before Super Bowl Sunday. Speaking

1155
00:55:23,080 --> 00:55:26,279
Speaker 2: of which, we'll have our another normal episode next week

1156
00:55:26,320 --> 00:55:29,000
Speaker 2: where we will preview super Bowl fifty nine and also

1157
00:55:29,080 --> 00:55:31,040
Speaker 2: talk about the other.

1158
00:55:30,840 --> 00:55:32,560
Speaker 3: News that it's gone on in the NFL.

1159
00:55:32,600 --> 00:55:34,879
Speaker 2: For the week post super Bowl, we'll have a post

1160
00:55:34,920 --> 00:55:39,040
Speaker 2: super Bowl episode, and then we'll have another episode where

1161
00:55:39,080 --> 00:55:42,920
Speaker 2: we will do our first draft of the twenty twenty

1162
00:55:43,000 --> 00:55:46,719
Speaker 2: five fantasy football season. We draft the top sixty players,

1163
00:55:47,160 --> 00:55:50,440
Speaker 2: something we do preseason going into the season, and then

1164
00:55:50,480 --> 00:55:52,120
Speaker 2: something we do at the end of the season on

1165
00:55:52,160 --> 00:55:54,640
Speaker 2: who we would take if the draft was held. Those

1166
00:55:54,680 --> 00:55:57,359
Speaker 2: are going to be our upcoming episodes. It'll give Mike

1167
00:55:57,520 --> 00:56:00,000
Speaker 2: enough time to rest his voice. We hope he feels better.

1168
00:56:00,360 --> 00:56:02,400
Speaker 2: I'll be in New Orleans for the super Bowl for

1169
