6
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:19,760
Speaker 1: exciting as it would be to play fan duel like

7
00:00:19,880 --> 00:00:24,440
Speaker 1: Joey Watts, who won over one hundred thousand dollars. Okay,

8
00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:26,639

25
00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:31,400

Speaker 1: the phone and I gave no credit to my wife, Emmaica,

27

29
00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:43,160
Speaker 1: afterglow of bringing Walker home. I didn't thank the right people,

30
00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:45,840
Speaker 1: so of course she she was the star. Yes, how

33
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:53,960

34
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:56,120
Speaker 1: happy pill bringing him home. West. Did you happen to

35
00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:58,840
Speaker 1: check the podcast yesterday? I did. Did you hear about

36
00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 1: the cyborg warrior we're building in your and your body,

37
00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:06,520
Speaker 1: using your body as uh, the husk to build this

38
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:09,320
Speaker 1: machine if you don't procreate. I was asked the same

39
00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:12,800
Speaker 1: question by one of our big fans, Neil Dutton, on Twitter.

40
00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:16,440
Speaker 1: How do I feel about this idea? You have? Podcast?

41
00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:19,400
Speaker 1: Might be pass a in twenty or thirty years, and

42
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:21,919
Speaker 1: I might be in the mountains writing fiction or something

43
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:25,119
Speaker 1: that's true. I like that thought. I like you being

44
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 1: in the mountains, big old beard writing something really dark

45
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:34,480
Speaker 1: and interesting. Okay, I like that all right? So and Mark,

46
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:36,320
Speaker 1: how are you? You haven't say anything at I just

47
00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:38,440
Speaker 1: want to know what the difference is for you, Greg

48
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:42,400
Speaker 1: and being the boss and being a dad. Mmmm. Well,

49
00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:45,160
Speaker 1: I'm much nicer to my children. I hope you know

50
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:47,359
Speaker 1: what I mean. I you know, I like hold them

51
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:49,239
Speaker 1: in my arms. I never do that with you guys.

52
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:52,960
Speaker 1: Tell them I love them. Always wanted that. No, I

53
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:55,520
Speaker 1: don't think I could. Yeah. We're a small family too,

54
00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:57,560
Speaker 1: so that's you know. I like keeping it that way.

55
00:02:57,639 --> 00:02:59,919
Speaker 1: So it's great to have Greg here, even if it's

56
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:01,720
Speaker 1: only for a day. I don't know how often you're

57
00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:03,560
Speaker 1: gonna be around the next few days, but we have

58
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:06,920
Speaker 1: you today, and that's exciting because this is a deeply

59
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:12,400
Speaker 1: important show. This is Championship Preview podcast around the NFL

60
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:16,840
Speaker 1: Championship Preview Podcast, and and listen. We got two games

61
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:19,800
Speaker 1: to get to and that's fun because you know, usually

62
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:23,040
Speaker 1: we're going through sixteen games, fourteen games then it starts

63
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:25,239
Speaker 1: to get chopped down through the playoffs. But now there's

64
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:27,799
Speaker 1: just two. So I mean we're gonna dig in. It's

65
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:32,040
Speaker 1: gonna ferocious amount of analysis. I have my stack gut

66
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:34,120
Speaker 1: here and then I mean West, I've been digging through

67
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:35,800
Speaker 1: this all week. There's a lot of heat in my

68
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:38,920
Speaker 1: research guide, so I got that ready, get ready, I

69
00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:42,760
Speaker 1: say mine that you just took that off someone's desk downstairs. Yeah,

70
00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:45,320
Speaker 1: maybe nobody has to note. That's got a lot of

71
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:48,240
Speaker 1: print outs. I've impressed for that that I like that.

72
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:51,480
Speaker 1: So we're hopefully prepared compared to a normal show. I

73
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:56,160
Speaker 1: got some laid out on your bed sheets. That's that's understandable, Greg, though,

74
00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:58,760
Speaker 1: I mean your popa times too. But we have a

75
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:00,680
Speaker 1: little bit of news we wanted to get too before

76
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:03,600
Speaker 1: we got to the previews. TD. How are you, buddy?

77
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:06,840
Speaker 1: What's going on? Guys? You guys doing good? The independent

78
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:12,600
Speaker 1: investigation into Tuesday's podcast malfunctions still ongoing. Ted Wells, NFL

79
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:15,600
Speaker 1: gum Shoe Robert Muller. They have not gotten back to

80
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:17,320
Speaker 1: us yet, but I promise you you'll be the first

81
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:19,479
Speaker 1: one to know. Thank you guy. You guys didn't bring

82
00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:22,200
Speaker 1: this up he didn't bring us up on Wednesday, but

83
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:24,440
Speaker 1: that was twenty five of our best minutes of the year.

84
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:27,359
Speaker 1: That was a great minutes that we're lost into the East.

85
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:30,200
Speaker 1: It was a good show yesterday, but it pold in

86
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:33,440
Speaker 1: comparison to what the original minutes was. Well, that's that's

87
00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:36,000
Speaker 1: the other thing that hurts, and that's why the investigation

88
00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:37,800
Speaker 1: was losch. Let's face it. I do, I do have

89
00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:39,839
Speaker 1: to listen to this show from yesterday. I have not

90
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:44,479
Speaker 1: yet because I got a lot of tweets about TD's analysis.

91
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:47,920
Speaker 1: Stepping up to his analysis, I was more impressed with

92
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:52,360
Speaker 1: the drizzle in the background. He had a hyperman do

93
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:55,200
Speaker 1: over a beat. You know, it did seem like a

94
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:59,919
Speaker 1: tribute to Stewart. Scott would kill you to congratulate Greg.

95
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:08,160
Speaker 1: We're having a child. That's not fair play the celebration

96
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:10,599
Speaker 1: drop a couple of times when you now said I

97
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:13,000
Speaker 1: was really happy for Greg. I told him congratulations on

98
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:16,919
Speaker 1: the phone. Personally, it's a big human moment. I do

99
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:18,440
Speaker 1: have a question for you that I thought you can

100
00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:21,880
Speaker 1: really thank me by getting a new celebration drop. I

101
00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:24,040
Speaker 1: feel like we've got enough of that one. I'm just

102
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:26,880
Speaker 1: saying cool in the game we can have some more

103
00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:29,159
Speaker 1: happy time time. I do have a question for you, though,

104
00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:31,320
Speaker 1: I assume the first time you have a kid, it's

105
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:33,480
Speaker 1: a new feeling. About the second time, do you feel

106
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:35,800
Speaker 1: like a life has changed anymore? You feel like I'm

107
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:38,600
Speaker 1: a fit. I got this t D and damage control mode.

108
00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:41,880
Speaker 1: Right now you're more You're more confident. But no, I

109
00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:44,600
Speaker 1: would say it's like the same feelings. I would say

110
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:47,679
Speaker 1: it's the same. Right. With that out of the way,

111
00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:52,120
Speaker 1: t D some news way offs, we'll talk about why offs.

112
00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:57,880
Speaker 1: You're kidding me? All right? This is just one news bit,

113
00:05:57,920 --> 00:05:59,919
Speaker 1: but it's important enough that we wanted to get to it.

114
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:03,320
Speaker 1: Jim Harbaugh leaves the Niners. They mutually part ways. He

115
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:06,799
Speaker 1: ends up in Michigan. Good luck to you there. Jim

116
00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:09,600
Speaker 1: back in college. And now the Niners have found their man.

117
00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:12,240
Speaker 1: They found him on their own staff after an extended search.

118
00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:16,680
Speaker 1: Jim Tomsula, the defensive line coach, promoted to head coach

119
00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:19,720
Speaker 1: in a move that surprised a lot of people. Uh

120
00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:22,839
Speaker 1: it sounds like the only Uh. They're clearing out the

121
00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:26,920
Speaker 1: entire staff basically with the exception of one man. And

122
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:29,720
Speaker 1: tom Sula is now the guy. And I will say

123
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:33,200
Speaker 1: handsome hank uh New Tom Sula from the days in

124
00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:35,880
Speaker 1: the NFL europe League speaks highly of him, and we

125
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:38,360
Speaker 1: watch some videos where he seems like a very rah

126
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:41,840
Speaker 1: Ra fund guy. He has a press conference coming up later. However, guys,

127
00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:45,160
Speaker 1: this maybe is not the sexy higher mark. After you

128
00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:47,480
Speaker 1: just had Jim Harbaugh, one of the highest profiled coaches

129
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:49,880
Speaker 1: in the league. You know, this reminds me. Everyone has

130
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:52,400
Speaker 1: the friend that you kind of knew as they were

131
00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:55,720
Speaker 1: entering adulthood, and at one point they were dating an

132
00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:59,840
Speaker 1: absolute scorcher and they were on top of the world, right,

133
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:02,800
Speaker 1: they were going for it, but then they something goes wrong,

134
00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:06,880
Speaker 1: they get bounced, and they immediately go to the safest

135
00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:10,200
Speaker 1: opposite version of that woman. I'm just gonna huddle in

136
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:14,160
Speaker 1: with a very safe person, extending this alogy further. All right,

137
00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:17,240
Speaker 1: Jim harborw hot is what you're saying, but a little crazy,

138
00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:20,040
Speaker 1: little crazy He's going to go check out that Saved

139
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:22,360
Speaker 1: by the Bell episode that Harbor was in. He was

140
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:27,440
Speaker 1: a good Tomsula is the friend that the female friend

141
00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:29,520
Speaker 1: that you're always close to, but you never looked at

142
00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:32,200
Speaker 1: her that way. But then in this time of upheaval,

143
00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:35,280
Speaker 1: you're like, Wow, this is comforting. I like this. Let's

144
00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:39,200
Speaker 1: do this excellent job extending that analogy. Because that friend

145
00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:42,920
Speaker 1: was around first when Single Tarry was dismissed, Tom Sula

146
00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:45,600
Speaker 1: was the interim coach for a game. And if that

147
00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:49,120
Speaker 1: little friend wasn't good enough at the time, why is

148
00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:51,920
Speaker 1: he she good enough now? Because he has four to

149
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:54,000
Speaker 1: give the forty niner side, you could say he has

150
00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:56,600
Speaker 1: four or five more years of experience and especially knows

151
00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:59,239
Speaker 1: these players and knows the staff compared to before. Also,

152
00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:02,600
Speaker 1: he's one of the most successful head coaches in NFL history.

153
00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:05,560
Speaker 1: I mean he's he's undefeated and they won thirty eight seven.

154
00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:07,600
Speaker 1: And I don't know if he watched his press conferences

155
00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:09,440
Speaker 1: back then, even for that one week. I used to,

156
00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:11,680
Speaker 1: especially at my old job, I used to really rate

157
00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:15,120
Speaker 1: head coaches based on how entertaining I found their press

158
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:17,640
Speaker 1: conferences because I tended to watch most of them. And

159
00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:19,560
Speaker 1: he's he's going to be a delight. He's gonna give

160
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:22,600
Speaker 1: us a lot to Henry promised me downstairs this morning

161
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:26,240
Speaker 1: that his introductory press conference, which is happening in a

162
00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:29,160
Speaker 1: couple of hours we're taping this on Thursday, is going

163
00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:31,520
Speaker 1: to have a Rex Ryan level of pop to it

164
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:34,000
Speaker 1: that this guy is the type of guy that knows

165
00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:35,760
Speaker 1: how to talk, knows how to turn a phrase, and

166
00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:37,800
Speaker 1: he's gonna be a fun guy. He He is number

167
00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:42,240
Speaker 1: two in my all time interim head coaches press conference standings.

168
00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:46,480
Speaker 1: Number one Joe Vitt by a long shot. Jovitt was

169
00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:49,400
Speaker 1: a legend just listening to that guy talk. Tony Sprano

170
00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:56,439
Speaker 1: is number six sat. Tom Sula thing has the feel

171
00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:59,480
Speaker 1: of the Chan Gailey Cowboys head coach. Hears to me,

172
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:03,400
Speaker 1: look at the brain drain. Leaving San Francisco, Jim Harbor,

173
00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:06,520
Speaker 1: one of the best coaches of the last half decade,

174
00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:09,200
Speaker 1: Greg Roman, who two years ago was the it boy

175
00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:13,160
Speaker 1: in the NFL, considered brilliant on all offense. Vick Foio,

176
00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:15,760
Speaker 1: people thought could have been the defensive coordinator of the

177
00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:19,240
Speaker 1: Year this year, all leaving San Francisco. This is gonna

178
00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:22,040
Speaker 1: be hard for Tom Sula to keep this team afloat.

179
00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:24,319
Speaker 1: I love in San Francisco. When the line isn't playing

180
00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:27,120
Speaker 1: the way it was two years ago, everyone attached to

181
00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:30,760
Speaker 1: that offense suddenly isn't creative, isn't innovative, doesn't know how

182
00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:33,160
Speaker 1: to develop a quarterback, or run a scheme. Are you

183
00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:36,200
Speaker 1: kidding me? Like Greg Roman, you're exactly right. We talked

184
00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:39,160
Speaker 1: about him when glowing terms because he deserved it. Tom

185
00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:42,720
Speaker 1: Sula has going to have trouble hiring a staff anywhere

186
00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:45,160
Speaker 1: close to this. Well. I like it in the sense

187
00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:50,040
Speaker 1: that it's York and Trent Balky putting everything on the table,

188
00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:55,640
Speaker 1: putting putting themselves out there, saying, we told you that

189
00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:58,800
Speaker 1: we didn't really think Harbaugh was the reason that we

190
00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:01,560
Speaker 1: were so good all these when we got rid of him.

191
00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:03,560
Speaker 1: Now we're gonna go to the point where we'll let

192
00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:05,560
Speaker 1: the coaching staff leave. We're just gonna pick the guy

193
00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:09,319
Speaker 1: that's more comfortable to us because our players are so

194
00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:12,800
Speaker 1: good and and it's Balky and it's York really putting

195
00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:15,439
Speaker 1: themselves out there. So as a fan that really doesn't

196
00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:17,400
Speaker 1: care if they're good or bad, I like that because

197
00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:19,600
Speaker 1: it's a good story. And if it goes, if it

198
00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:22,600
Speaker 1: goes poorly, it is all on them. They're they're saying,

199
00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:24,839
Speaker 1: it is all on us. It is our players. We

200
00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:27,320
Speaker 1: are so good at running an organization that we're just

201
00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:29,600
Speaker 1: gonna bring this guy in in the system. Is if

202
00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:32,120
Speaker 1: they really felt that way when they have instantly promoted

203
00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:34,520
Speaker 1: him instead of waited a couple of weeks interview people

204
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:36,960
Speaker 1: and then come to that conclusion. You get the sense

205
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:39,280
Speaker 1: that they wanted Adam Gaze and then maybe when they

206
00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:42,120
Speaker 1: got to Adam Gaze last year, Adam Gaze did not

207
00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:43,880
Speaker 1: want to be a head coach. We heard that over

208
00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:47,679
Speaker 1: and over that maybe that they some hint of that

209
00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:50,200
Speaker 1: leaked out again, is he ready to be a head coach?

210
00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:52,560
Speaker 1: Tom Seula was the safe pick. See, I thought all

211
00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:54,680
Speaker 1: along they wanted Tom sail and they were only bringing

212
00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:59,680
Speaker 1: in guys like Shanahan, McDaniels Engage to pick their brains

213
00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:01,760
Speaker 1: on how to fix Colin Kaepernick and then to use

214
00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:03,760
Speaker 1: that information with the new star to make it look

215
00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:06,280
Speaker 1: like that they're looking at everyone when they really know

216
00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:08,839
Speaker 1: it's gonna take a lot for someone to beat out

217
00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:10,520
Speaker 1: Tom sewella, but hey, we got this week and a

218
00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:13,400
Speaker 1: half away. But that also reeks of hubrist number one.

219
00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:16,120
Speaker 1: And secondly, you've got to sell that to your fan base. Hey,

220
00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:18,959
Speaker 1: we had Mike Shanahan and here we had four other

221
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:21,160
Speaker 1: guys whose names you've heard over and over, but we

222
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:22,959
Speaker 1: went and hired a defensive line that you've heard of

223
00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:26,120
Speaker 1: maybe once a year through the press. Well, check out

224
00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:29,280
Speaker 1: his mustache. That'll sell some tickets. He can turn perceptions.

225
00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:30,800
Speaker 1: But it's just it is on this and it's not

226
00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:33,240
Speaker 1: as hot as Jim Harbaugh. I mean, is that like

227
00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:37,520
Speaker 1: ultimately as all this what is about looks. All that matters.

228
00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:39,520
Speaker 1: All that matters is what he does the first two

229
00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:41,840
Speaker 1: months next year, there's six and two. Everyone loves him there,

230
00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:44,120
Speaker 1: you know, three and five everyone hates really and a

231
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:47,160
Speaker 1: lot of it comes down to what Colin Kaepernick does

232
00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:50,839
Speaker 1: with his Kurt Warner, his training session and if he

233
00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:52,679
Speaker 1: can get back on track and if that defense can

234
00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:55,480
Speaker 1: get healthy after all the injuries, they could still be

235
00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:58,400
Speaker 1: very good next year. What Kaepernick does under Charlie Weiss

236
00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:04,960
Speaker 1: or Rob chad Zinski. No, she was like a very

237
00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:08,560
Speaker 1: popular coordinator type guy. Why is he such a bad

238
00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:14,440
Speaker 1: high if they hired Charlie Weiss, that's brutal. Moving on.

239
00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:17,160
Speaker 1: So that is the that's the big news, and and

240
00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:19,480
Speaker 1: we'll be tracking. There's some other stuff going on, still shaking.

241
00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:22,079
Speaker 1: We got the John Fox Chicago thing. What else is

242
00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:24,120
Speaker 1: out there? What other jobs are open at this Atlanta

243
00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:27,480
Speaker 1: Atlanta still out there? I think that now and the

244
00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:29,480
Speaker 1: longer it goes on, the more it feels like they're

245
00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:31,680
Speaker 1: just gonna wait, which I like that, Like if if

246
00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:34,280
Speaker 1: he's there, guy, it's why why we go five for

247
00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:36,679
Speaker 1: six on a where will they land? Post? Who's we?

248
00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:41,480
Speaker 1: Mark Sessler? Well, but I conferred with with Wesse and

249
00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:45,800
Speaker 1: Chris before west End Chris Well, it was essentially west

250
00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:48,280
Speaker 1: and Christian. That was like what John Elway thanked himself.

251
00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:51,800
Speaker 1: Sounds good, but no, but Dan had an input there

252
00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:56,240
Speaker 1: some degree, some minor degree. So you you stubble over

253
00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:57,880
Speaker 1: your words and then bury me to get out of it.

254
00:12:57,920 --> 00:12:59,400
Speaker 1: I see where we're going today is the only way

255
00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:01,319
Speaker 1: I could get out that. All right, let's get into

256
00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:04,960
Speaker 1: the two games. Uh, this is championship weekend. We're almost

257
00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:06,600
Speaker 1: there to the big game. And like we said, we'll

258
00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:09,400
Speaker 1: be in Arizona all week, even Greg. Greg is going

259
00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:12,160
Speaker 1: to kiss his wife on the forehead and and pat

260
00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:14,560
Speaker 1: his little girl on her hair and then look at

261
00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:16,840
Speaker 1: the baby and say I'll be home young one. And hell,

262
00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:19,160
Speaker 1: he's gonna come with us Arizona. Making me sound like

263
00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:22,120
Speaker 1: a monster. You know, we got the mother in law

264
00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:24,880
Speaker 1: in place for that time, and then I'm gonna take

265
00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:29,000
Speaker 1: my paternity leave, which is, you know, generously provided by

266
00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:31,080
Speaker 1: the NFL and my boss, and take it after the

267
00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:35,360
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. Alright, I'm gonna have another child, so you

268
00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:38,720
Speaker 1: can have your Odell Beckham period. All right, let's start.

269
00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:41,360
Speaker 1: Why don't we start with We'll go in a time order,

270
00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:44,280
Speaker 1: and we'll start with a three oh five pm kickoff

271
00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:48,160
Speaker 1: the Green Bay Packers at Century Link Field to face

272
00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:52,600
Speaker 1: the Seattle Seahawks in a matchup. I think if you

273
00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:57,360
Speaker 1: asked the experts quote unquote experts, I guess lump us

274
00:13:57,360 --> 00:14:00,719
Speaker 1: in there. Uh before the season's started, a lot of

275
00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:02,480
Speaker 1: people would have said, or a lot of people are

276
00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:04,840
Speaker 1: probably thinking Seahawks Packers had a shot at it. I

277
00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:06,480
Speaker 1: went back and looked at her picks. By the way,

278
00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:10,000
Speaker 1: did you guys do that? Just no, Kevin, Kevin, Patrick

279
00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:12,800
Speaker 1: and I and West I think all had that as

280
00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:14,640
Speaker 1: the NFC. I'm not sure about West. Do you remember

281
00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:20,560
Speaker 1: what you had forgot? Sorry? Off, but yeah, I think

282
00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:23,960
Speaker 1: Patrick and I had that. Someone had Patriots colts. It's uh,

283
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:27,240
Speaker 1: we're good, alright, good. So the green Bay Packers and

284
00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:31,480
Speaker 1: the Hawks are facing off in and I do remember

285
00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:33,560
Speaker 1: when I was in Seattle week when we were on

286
00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:35,880
Speaker 1: the phone after the game, and we talked about how

287
00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:38,520
Speaker 1: that game could have decided who's going to host this game?

288
00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:41,320
Speaker 1: And sure enough, here we are three months later, Seattle

289
00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:45,280
Speaker 1: has home field advantage in just a huge matchup between

290
00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:49,160
Speaker 1: two great teams. And I'll start with you, Mark, You

291
00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:53,320
Speaker 1: are very concerned that are you okay? By the way, Mark,

292
00:14:53,920 --> 00:15:00,680
Speaker 1: we're waiving yourself like a Southern bell. I think TV

293
00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:04,320
Speaker 1: is trying to get back at me, Uh, you said,

294
00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:06,840
Speaker 1: And I will turn down the I'll find the thermostat

295
00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:10,320
Speaker 1: after I asking this question. Uh, you worry about Aaron

296
00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:14,200
Speaker 1: Rodgers leg and whether that will decide this game essentially, Well,

297
00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:16,000
Speaker 1: I don't think I'm alone in that opinion. I mean,

298
00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:18,280
Speaker 1: if we want to take a look at what happened,

299
00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:20,920
Speaker 1: you know, for the majority the first three quarters of

300
00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:24,360
Speaker 1: that Dallas game in the newsroom West, who has got

301
00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:27,040
Speaker 1: to be one of the biggest Aaron Rodgers guys out there,

302
00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:29,480
Speaker 1: you were you were almost rooting for Green Bay not

303
00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:31,760
Speaker 1: to win the game, just because if this went into

304
00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:34,160
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl in the NFC Championship, it's just a

305
00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:37,760
Speaker 1: laydown scenario for whoever they're playing, Lamb for the slaughter

306
00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:40,920
Speaker 1: going against the Seahawks defense, I thought that he improved.

307
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:43,320
Speaker 1: I mean, as Greg said before, he still ends up

308
00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:45,520
Speaker 1: throwing for three d yards because he's Aaron Rodgers. They

309
00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:47,920
Speaker 1: won the game. We can talk about the final box score,

310
00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:49,760
Speaker 1: and we can talk about the final quarter and a half,

311
00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:52,320
Speaker 1: but you cannot deny how Aaron Rodgers looked for the

312
00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:53,680
Speaker 1: first two and a half quarters of that game. He

313
00:15:53,760 --> 00:15:55,640
Speaker 1: was I won't be playing that defense this week, and

314
00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:58,640
Speaker 1: he was inaccurate. And that is the problem I don't

315
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:01,680
Speaker 1: think of people think about, because not only does he

316
00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:05,120
Speaker 1: lose the mobility, but that injury affects his mechanics and

317
00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:07,720
Speaker 1: if he's not accurate and he can't move, then that's

318
00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:09,760
Speaker 1: a huge problem. And he did get away with it

319
00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:11,760
Speaker 1: a little bit in that game the way the end

320
00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:13,760
Speaker 1: of that first half ended, and they picked up kind

321
00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:15,880
Speaker 1: of a six point swing and they won a game

322
00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:18,640
Speaker 1: that they didn't necessarily look dominant in. But who knows.

323
00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:20,200
Speaker 1: The way I look at is like he could be

324
00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:22,680
Speaker 1: a much better player for four quarters this week. Why not?

325
00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:25,680
Speaker 1: Is the reason to believe though, that the calf has

326
00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:29,040
Speaker 1: even become marginally healthier, because it was what a three

327
00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:31,440
Speaker 1: month injury. The way he said it was no different

328
00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:34,400
Speaker 1: a couple of days ago. I think the only the

329
00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:36,000
Speaker 1: only thing that would make it different is if he

330
00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:39,240
Speaker 1: started warming up earlier and loosened up more quickly in

331
00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:41,880
Speaker 1: the game, or if whatever shots he's taken of Tora

332
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:47,240
Speaker 1: Doll or whatever pain killer, muscle relaxer. Well, no, but

333
00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:50,760
Speaker 1: does that these are the common I mean if if

334
00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:53,800
Speaker 1: he takes more shots, maybe he I don't know. To me,

335
00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:55,880
Speaker 1: I don't have any reason to believe he's going to

336
00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:58,680
Speaker 1: be any different than he was last week. Yeah, and that,

337
00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:02,000
Speaker 1: I mean, that's the biggest nightmare if you're a football fan,

338
00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:06,240
Speaker 1: is he's getting shot up by Toro rodel and and

339
00:17:06,320 --> 00:17:09,560
Speaker 1: all these other things. And that's not a person, that's

340
00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:14,000
Speaker 1: the actual Tory Laddell and and and you know he

341
00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:16,119
Speaker 1: shouldn't be playing on it. And it's like a Bud

342
00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:19,359
Speaker 1: Kilmer Varsity Blue scenario and the calf goes and then

343
00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:20,920
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, you got Matt Flynn against the

344
00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:24,760
Speaker 1: Seattle Matt Flynn revenge game. Did we think about that?

345
00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:27,640
Speaker 1: Though he might be spin it? So the worst situation

346
00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:32,120
Speaker 1: is Rogers heroically on that calf, building the thirty seven lead,

347
00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:35,600
Speaker 1: then gets hurt. Matt Flynn nurses an eight minute, you know,

348
00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:37,520
Speaker 1: rest of the game and goes into as the Super

349
00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:41,680
Speaker 1: Bowl starter, and people spent two weeks talking themselves into

350
00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:43,720
Speaker 1: Matt Flynn in the Super Bowl. Look, I think the

351
00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:46,320
Speaker 1: Seaks are better and their home, so they should be

352
00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:48,520
Speaker 1: the favorite. But I guess I have a problem with

353
00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:50,800
Speaker 1: people not giving the rest of the Packers credit as

354
00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:53,119
Speaker 1: a as a really good team that the Eddie Lacy

355
00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:56,919
Speaker 1: and this running attack has been one of the league's

356
00:17:56,960 --> 00:17:59,640
Speaker 1: best down the stretch. I think the defense has been

357
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:02,320
Speaker 1: a little up and down this year. Ultimately, they held

358
00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:06,119
Speaker 1: an awesome Cowboys offense to very little in the second

359
00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:09,240
Speaker 1: half of that game, and Julius Peppers playing better, Nick

360
00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:12,920
Speaker 1: Perry's getting a pass rush. Rogers needs his offensive line

361
00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:15,159
Speaker 1: and everyone else to play their best. But when you

362
00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:17,760
Speaker 1: look at that Packers roster, I don't see it as

363
00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:21,679
Speaker 1: some roster that's way more inferior and less talented than

364
00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:27,040
Speaker 1: the Seahawks. Seahawks have the best defense of a generation,

365
00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:30,000
Speaker 1: and the Packers have a middling defense. Packers do have

366
00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:32,600
Speaker 1: some talent with Clay Matthews and Julius Peppers, and they've

367
00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:36,040
Speaker 1: got a pretty decent secondary, but they're facing the NFL's

368
00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:38,960
Speaker 1: best best defense for three straight years. And you've said

369
00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:41,080
Speaker 1: it in the past, but they don't seven or eight

370
00:18:41,119 --> 00:18:43,639
Speaker 1: guys who can take over a game on Seattle's defense.

371
00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:45,800
Speaker 1: The Packers have to The Packers don't have to face

372
00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:48,359
Speaker 1: one of the greatest offenses though of the last three

373
00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:51,040
Speaker 1: or four years or generous they have to face they

374
00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:54,560
Speaker 1: all right, they have to face an offense that it's

375
00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:57,160
Speaker 1: sometimes it's very good, and they've definitely been better down

376
00:18:57,240 --> 00:18:59,680
Speaker 1: the stretch. But you know, sometimes they're tied with Sean

377
00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:01,640
Speaker 1: Hill going into the fourth quarter, like, oh, how could

378
00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:04,240
Speaker 1: they compete with a with a B grade Aaron Rodgers,

379
00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:07,399
Speaker 1: like Sean Hill could compete. Different teams can compete like

380
00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:10,240
Speaker 1: late in the season and the game last even the

381
00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:13,240
Speaker 1: game last weekend. While the Packers took care of business,

382
00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:15,040
Speaker 1: I mean, excuse me, the Seahawks took care of business.

383
00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:17,400
Speaker 1: Cam Newton, they moved the ball at times in that game.

384
00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:20,040
Speaker 1: They scored a couple of touchdowns. They found ways to

385
00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:23,119
Speaker 1: exploit that secondary and and not not a lot, but

386
00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:25,439
Speaker 1: they did so. If Cam Newton and that and that

387
00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:28,359
Speaker 1: woefull pass attack and Carolina could do it, why can't

388
00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:30,560
Speaker 1: uh Aaron Rodgers do it? I don't. I don't want

389
00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:33,600
Speaker 1: to overlook Seattle's ability on the ground too, because they're

390
00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:35,720
Speaker 1: running for thirty more yards per game and they were

391
00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:38,840
Speaker 1: last year. Marshawn Lynch, who everyone wants to run out

392
00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:41,480
Speaker 1: of town after this season, is on fire. I mean,

393
00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:44,800
Speaker 1: this is the twenty three run defense we're talking about.

394
00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:47,520
Speaker 1: And DeMarco Murray and the Cowboys got yardage on the ground.

395
00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:49,280
Speaker 1: They went and did what they wanted to do for

396
00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:51,600
Speaker 1: most of that game when they wanted to run the ball.

397
00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:54,000
Speaker 1: And I think Seattle, they don't need to go out

398
00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:56,240
Speaker 1: and throw for two hundred and fifty three hundred yards

399
00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:58,600
Speaker 1: that things go go courting. Here script here, here's the

400
00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:01,480
Speaker 1: question I have for you guys, because they replayed that

401
00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:03,879
Speaker 1: Week one game on NFL Network this week and I

402
00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:06,639
Speaker 1: was watching it and my heart was really, uh, you know,

403
00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:08,720
Speaker 1: I want to go with the Packers, and I'm watching

404
00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:12,040
Speaker 1: that game and I saw how how thoroughly Seattle beat

405
00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:14,800
Speaker 1: them in that game. How different are the Packers now

406
00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:18,440
Speaker 1: than then? Which would explain why this game would work

407
00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:22,359
Speaker 1: out differently for them. Well, they've got Eddie Lacy playing

408
00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:24,399
Speaker 1: in a much higher level, the offensive line playing at

409
00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:27,520
Speaker 1: a higher level, and You've got Davante Adams playing instead

410
00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:30,359
Speaker 1: of Jared borg Boykin, who was a zero in the

411
00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:33,919
Speaker 1: season opener when they sacrificed him to Richard Ran. Right,

412
00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:35,320
Speaker 1: this is a This is a Packers team that scored

413
00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:38,760
Speaker 1: seven points in Detroit two weeks after that, and a

414
00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:42,639
Speaker 1: team that was trailing the Jets at home, So I

415
00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:45,879
Speaker 1: think the team is different. They tried some funky defenses

416
00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:48,960
Speaker 1: out in that game. Dom Capers brought out this I

417
00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:51,960
Speaker 1: forget what he called it, some some plan where Clay

418
00:20:52,040 --> 00:20:54,080
Speaker 1: Matthews was on the outside and it was a totally

419
00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:56,680
Speaker 1: different formation in terms of how they lined up three

420
00:20:56,720 --> 00:20:59,280
Speaker 1: four four three, And that formation was gone by the

421
00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:01,600
Speaker 1: middle of the season because he tried it, it didn't work.

422
00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:04,320
Speaker 1: It's like teams adjust during the season. I do think

423
00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:05,840
Speaker 1: this is a much better Packers and it's a team

424
00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:07,720
Speaker 1: that last year didn't have Raynal Cobb for a big

425
00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:10,120
Speaker 1: chunk of the year. And in the opening game what

426
00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:14,080
Speaker 1: Lacey had thirty four yards was out. I mean he

427
00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:17,400
Speaker 1: if he if Lacey is only running for eight less

428
00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:19,640
Speaker 1: yards per game this season and Lynch, I mean, he's

429
00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:21,520
Speaker 1: he's been great. I mean, will he be able to

430
00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:23,520
Speaker 1: do it against this defense. I'm not sure about that

431
00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:26,040
Speaker 1: other fun subplot of this game. You mentioned it with

432
00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:30,280
Speaker 1: a boy Kin West. They never threw at Richard Sherman once,

433
00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:32,640
Speaker 1: and that became a kind of a major talking point

434
00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:35,040
Speaker 1: coming out of that game that, Wow, if Aaron Rodgers

435
00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:38,320
Speaker 1: is afraid to throw Richard Sherman, everyone's gonna be that way.

436
00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:40,919
Speaker 1: It didn't end up that way exactly, but I'm curious

437
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:44,320
Speaker 1: how their game plan changes now. And uh they asked that,

438
00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:48,440
Speaker 1: of course, during Championship Wednesday on NFL Network, they asked

439
00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:51,640
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers, are you gonna, you know, go towards Shermany said,

440
00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:53,880
Speaker 1: you know, I'm gonna Are you gonna keep in the mill?

441
00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:55,360
Speaker 1: He's like, I'm gonna keep in the middle, or I'm

442
00:21:55,359 --> 00:21:57,040
Speaker 1: gonna go to the left. If there's someone open the

443
00:21:57,119 --> 00:21:59,040
Speaker 1: left and some of the right, I'll go to someone

444
00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:01,600
Speaker 1: in the right. So he did the Aaron Rodgers aloof

445
00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:04,840
Speaker 1: you know, playboy move, which is fine. I imagine I

446
00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:07,880
Speaker 1: imagine that. Imagine Dan's hands shaking in the air as

447
00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:11,360
Speaker 1: he makes the way to loof. I do I imagine

448
00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:13,840
Speaker 1: that Because I I Rogers as a karismatic guy. I

449
00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:15,680
Speaker 1: think he's gonna make a point of it to try

450
00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:17,600
Speaker 1: to throw at Sherman and make some plays and see

451
00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:21,399
Speaker 1: what happens. But who knows. Here's an incredibly misleading stat

452
00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:23,840
Speaker 1: just looking at the Seahawks schedule if you really want

453
00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:27,240
Speaker 1: to feel good as a Packers fan, Seahawks haven't beaten

454
00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:30,199
Speaker 1: a winning team with their starting quarterback in the lineup

455
00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:33,240
Speaker 1: since Week three against the Broncos and Peyton Manning. So

456
00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:37,080
Speaker 1: you're saying some of their total dominance is at least

457
00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:41,760
Speaker 1: based on opponents. He said, it's incredibly misleading. It's not

458
00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:46,960
Speaker 1: totally misleading. If if some other team didn't face high

459
00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:49,640
Speaker 1: level quarterback for two months, I mean we would mention it.

460
00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:52,520
Speaker 1: Why not they haven't. Who's the best quarterback they face,

461
00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:58,960
Speaker 1: Colin Kaepernick, Mark Sanchez, I don't know Jews stamping that.

462
00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:01,439
Speaker 1: You're right, it's a was an amazing little run they

463
00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:04,119
Speaker 1: got on. So that's Joe bag of bananas as he

464
00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:06,399
Speaker 1: it's misleading, but it's I think you're right. It's a

465
00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:09,400
Speaker 1: very fair point to make that they've had a better

466
00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:11,960
Speaker 1: defense statistically over the last two months than they did

467
00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:15,280
Speaker 1: last season. But that's facing on some really poor competition.

468
00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:18,879
Speaker 1: I mean, does Cam Newton count there. Yes, Cam Newton

469
00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:21,080
Speaker 1: is the best quarterback they they faced in that run.

470
00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:26,080
Speaker 1: It's not a great right. Michael Bennett said yesterday that

471
00:23:26,119 --> 00:23:28,760
Speaker 1: he leaves the Seahawks the is the best of the era,

472
00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:31,560
Speaker 1: and it's hard to deny it. And that's the case

473
00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:34,120
Speaker 1: if you're really gonna sell the Seahawks beyond the Aaron

474
00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:36,760
Speaker 1: Rodgers stuff. Uh, and that they might just be a

475
00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:38,840
Speaker 1: better team pound for a pound that playing in their

476
00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:42,679
Speaker 1: building with a potentially historic defense, it's just hard to

477
00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:46,240
Speaker 1: imagine them not taking care of business. Um. And on

478
00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:48,360
Speaker 1: that note, fellas, but they were one play away from

479
00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:53,680
Speaker 1: it last week. Uh, it is seven years exactly. I

480
00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:55,879
Speaker 1: don't know when does it start or end? What do

481
00:23:55,880 --> 00:23:58,200
Speaker 1: you mean you don't think it does, Michael Bennett remember

482
00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:00,600
Speaker 1: the two thousand Ravens. I would say this defense is

483
00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:03,800
Speaker 1: collectively better for multiple seasons. But when does an era?

484
00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:07,440
Speaker 1: I would say two is a different era than Yeah,

485
00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:10,080
Speaker 1: maybe a decade of years or so. Well, two thousand

486
00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:14,119
Speaker 1: four is when all of the passing stats started to inflate,

487
00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:16,879
Speaker 1: so maybe that's the beginning of a different I do

488
00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:20,720
Speaker 1: think it's already time to put them with the best

489
00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:23,160
Speaker 1: defenses of any era because they've done it for three

490
00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:26,080
Speaker 1: straight years. I count the year that they lost in

491
00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:28,280
Speaker 1: the second round of the playoffs, because their defense really

492
00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:30,159
Speaker 1: wasn't any worse that year than it was at a

493
00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:32,479
Speaker 1: time when players are shuffling from team to team at

494
00:24:32,560 --> 00:24:34,840
Speaker 1: rapid pace, but that wasn't the case in nineteen sixty

495
00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:37,640
Speaker 1: four or whatever, and in the most offensive friendly era

496
00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:40,320
Speaker 1: in history. It's kind of what Pedro was doing in

497
00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:43,000
Speaker 1: that type of thing where it's just like this awesome.

498
00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:45,480
Speaker 1: You know, a Red Sox fan shooting his arms in

499
00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:47,879
Speaker 1: the air. Come on, it's like a two crazy rind.

500
00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:50,560
Speaker 1: That was like the most fun player to watch all time,

501
00:24:51,359 --> 00:24:53,480
Speaker 1: shooting his hands in the air because he's a new dad.

502
00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:58,000
Speaker 1: You don't know why, but no, Pedro, what made him

503
00:24:58,080 --> 00:25:00,720
Speaker 1: so special beyond anything else is that he is dominant

504
00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:03,159
Speaker 1: and or when everybody was jacked up on steroids and

505
00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:06,720
Speaker 1: hitting fifty homers a year, Seahawks are somewhere in that way. Gentlemen,

506
00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:11,600
Speaker 1: it's time. It's time to make our picks. And Mark,

507
00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:13,720
Speaker 1: I know sometimes when we throw it to you to

508
00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:16,160
Speaker 1: make your pick, you're not ready, but I think today

509
00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:18,359
Speaker 1: you are. You have that glow to you. Well, you know,

510
00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:21,119
Speaker 1: I was tasked with writing the preview yesterday, and I

511
00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:25,240
Speaker 1: picked Seattle thirty three, Packers twenty and I don't have

512
00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:28,240
Speaker 1: a problem with that. Who is give us one player

513
00:25:28,320 --> 00:25:30,280
Speaker 1: that will just pop out of nowhere in this game

514
00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:34,800
Speaker 1: pop and play we call it, I think where, Well,

515
00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:38,560
Speaker 1: maybe not out of nowhere. How about something Max Unger

516
00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:41,679
Speaker 1: picks up a fumble and runs fifty six yards with

517
00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:44,320
Speaker 1: it for a touchdown, just like when Sessler gets random.

518
00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:51,159
Speaker 1: But I guess I was asking for it anyway, the

519
00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:54,280
Speaker 1: Sessler of all Sessler's, it feels more alive than either ever.

520
00:25:54,400 --> 00:25:56,520
Speaker 1: The Peyton Manning thing is scary right now. You guys

521
00:25:56,520 --> 00:25:59,080
Speaker 1: probably talked about it. We did. You You were right,

522
00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:00,880
Speaker 1: We did, actually know. We talked about it a lot

523
00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:04,160
Speaker 1: in the Lost show, um, and then we didn't really

524
00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:06,119
Speaker 1: touch on it too much, but we did touch on

525
00:26:06,119 --> 00:26:08,960
Speaker 1: it a little bit yesterday. Cessler with the call the Century,

526
00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:14,640
Speaker 1: Potentially that might retire the entire industry of the predictions.

527
00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:18,199
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have Cessler invest on my child's money for

528
00:26:18,240 --> 00:26:20,960
Speaker 1: the rest of his life if it happens. If this happened,

529
00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:26,000
Speaker 1: all right, christ show this continuous to grow. Yeah, we

530
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:28,159
Speaker 1: could just sell everything happened in that show. Who's who

531
00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:30,640
Speaker 1: would ever know? All? Right, here we go, Chris Westling

532
00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:33,280
Speaker 1: your pick. I feel like I made all my points

533
00:26:34,040 --> 00:26:36,520
Speaker 1: heavily on the side of the Seahawks, but then Greg

534
00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:38,840
Speaker 1: kind of gave me the old Sean Hill factor. And

535
00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:43,040
Speaker 1: Seahawks keep it close through three quarters they struggle quite

536
00:26:43,040 --> 00:26:46,400
Speaker 1: a bit. And if they keep it close against Sean Hill,

537
00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:47,920
Speaker 1: I don't know. I kind of want to see Aaron

538
00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:50,080
Speaker 1: Rodgers play at a higher level than he did last week.

539
00:26:50,560 --> 00:27:00,000
Speaker 1: I'll make this a close one. Seahawks Packers, And who

540
00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:04,760
Speaker 1: is your popping player? Luke Wilson Seahawks tighten like he

541
00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:08,440
Speaker 1: might be their number one receiver at this point. It's ridiculous. Um,

542
00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:11,320
Speaker 1: I will uh wait, actually go to you, Greg, because

543
00:27:11,320 --> 00:27:13,080
Speaker 1: I'm not sure what we might have some cooking here?

544
00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:14,679
Speaker 1: What do you mean something? We could have a hero

545
00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:16,159
Speaker 1: pick at play. I don't know what your pick is.

546
00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:20,520
Speaker 1: You do have a hero pick, because I'm gonna we do.

547
00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:22,800
Speaker 1: He made it during the show. I gave him a

548
00:27:22,840 --> 00:27:25,399
Speaker 1: text he has chosen the Seahawks. I am going to

549
00:27:25,520 --> 00:27:27,879
Speaker 1: choose the Seahawks. I was making the case for the

550
00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:30,120
Speaker 1: Packers partly because you know, you guys are going hard

551
00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:34,040
Speaker 1: on the seats. I do think no I fully expected

552
00:27:34,119 --> 00:27:35,800
Speaker 1: to be a great game. Why would it not be

553
00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:39,240
Speaker 1: a great game, Aaron Rodgers, Why would Randall Cobb and

554
00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:42,280
Speaker 1: Jordy Nelson, you know, not play a little better this week?

555
00:27:42,359 --> 00:27:44,400
Speaker 1: Jordy Nelson's coming off a very poor game. I think

556
00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:45,960
Speaker 1: if you just look at the talent, and I do

557
00:27:46,040 --> 00:27:48,600
Speaker 1: include the defense and that, I think the Packers are

558
00:27:49,280 --> 00:27:51,040
Speaker 1: as talented as any team in the league. They might

559
00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:52,919
Speaker 1: be the second best team in the league. They just

560
00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:55,040
Speaker 1: happen to have to go to Seattle and we should

561
00:27:55,040 --> 00:27:57,320
Speaker 1: be treated to a great NFC championship like last year.

562
00:27:57,359 --> 00:27:59,119
Speaker 1: I mean, people act like Seattle can't lose at home

563
00:27:59,119 --> 00:28:00,840
Speaker 1: in a big spot. There they were an inch away

564
00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:02,760
Speaker 1: from losing. I mean, they made the play, but it's

565
00:28:02,760 --> 00:28:05,000
Speaker 1: not like they're undefeating. You know, they can't be beaten.

566
00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:11,600
Speaker 1: I'll go and who's your popping player? Presented by Pop

567
00:28:11,720 --> 00:28:17,120
Speaker 1: Rocks kJ Right, Yeah, but he's just someone no one

568
00:28:17,119 --> 00:28:19,960
Speaker 1: ever notices, and he's just I feels like every one

569
00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:23,200
Speaker 1: of these Seahawks defenders gets to have one playoff game

570
00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:34,520
Speaker 1: where suddenly they're the superstar. So kJ writes to defend

571
00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:39,360
Speaker 1: your hero we we talked about this Packers a team,

572
00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:41,320
Speaker 1: and I've talked all week about how I see them

573
00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:43,920
Speaker 1: a little bit as of a team of destiny. So

574
00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:45,560
Speaker 1: I think that this is the game where they get

575
00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:49,000
Speaker 1: revenge and and I'm always hoping west I'm trying to

576
00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:51,560
Speaker 1: will it to happen because I love Aaron Rodgers and

577
00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:53,800
Speaker 1: I would This feels to me right that he's gonna

578
00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:56,960
Speaker 1: get this done and he's got every everything's working against him.

579
00:28:57,000 --> 00:28:59,840
Speaker 1: But maybe he's Rocky and Rocky four and he's on

580
00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:03,200
Speaker 1: Christmas Day and Russia, and uh, he'll never be the

581
00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:05,520
Speaker 1: same after the game. I don't know, but I I

582
00:29:05,560 --> 00:29:08,000
Speaker 1: just think they're gonna steal this game, and it's gonna

583
00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:10,160
Speaker 1: be seen as the great moment of his career, to

584
00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:13,160
Speaker 1: the point where beating Billy Belichick and Tom Brady will

585
00:29:13,160 --> 00:29:17,240
Speaker 1: almost be an afterthought because this super Bowl after that,

586
00:29:17,360 --> 00:29:21,320
Speaker 1: this will be a win for the Packers. And the

587
00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:25,320
Speaker 1: impact player besides Aaron Rodgers, who will be heroic, Clay Matthews,

588
00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:27,840
Speaker 1: I think who who was all over the place. I

589
00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:29,400
Speaker 1: don't know if he had like a big stat day

590
00:29:29,520 --> 00:29:32,160
Speaker 1: stat day last week, ran a lot of play, He

591
00:29:32,280 --> 00:29:34,520
Speaker 1: was in the mix a lot he and it seemed

592
00:29:34,520 --> 00:29:36,840
Speaker 1: like he was just missing plays. I think he's gonna

593
00:29:36,880 --> 00:29:39,280
Speaker 1: get and make at least one huge play, cause a

594
00:29:39,320 --> 00:29:42,440
Speaker 1: turnover that helps swing the game. I think Dan snake pit.

595
00:29:42,520 --> 00:29:44,000
Speaker 1: I'm sorry to say it. I just feel that you're

596
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:47,680
Speaker 1: gonna go into in the conference championship rounds. I hope

597
00:29:48,040 --> 00:29:50,480
Speaker 1: wouldn't you rather cover the Packers in the Super Bowl?

598
00:29:50,520 --> 00:29:52,480
Speaker 1: I know that's not how he should pick games, Yes,

599
00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:54,719
Speaker 1: but when that is, what I would like to do

600
00:29:54,920 --> 00:29:58,440
Speaker 1: is to see the Packers. Do you guys agree? Okay,

601
00:29:58,560 --> 00:30:01,400
Speaker 1: glad you went with Rocky Ford him because Rogers cannot

602
00:30:01,440 --> 00:30:04,160
Speaker 1: chase chickens with his injured calf, but he can like

603
00:30:04,400 --> 00:30:07,240
Speaker 1: raise up railroad ties over his hit. Oh yeah, yeah,

604
00:30:07,280 --> 00:30:09,640
Speaker 1: he could scale a mountaintop if they shoot up enough

605
00:30:09,680 --> 00:30:15,560
Speaker 1: gerarodall into his Alright, those are so those are picks.

606
00:30:15,720 --> 00:30:19,320
Speaker 1: One pick for the Packers, three for the Seahawks to

607
00:30:19,360 --> 00:30:21,640
Speaker 1: get back to the Super Bowl, and and that would

608
00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:23,200
Speaker 1: be the first team a team returned to the Super

609
00:30:23,240 --> 00:30:25,760
Speaker 1: Bowl since your Patriots in the mid two Thousand's right,

610
00:30:25,880 --> 00:30:28,800
Speaker 1: They're already the first team since oh five to even

611
00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:32,480
Speaker 1: win a playoff game, which is outrageous. It's an outrageous stat. Alright,

612
00:30:32,520 --> 00:30:35,440
Speaker 1: so let's now move to the other side. This game

613
00:30:36,440 --> 00:30:40,080
Speaker 1: kicks off, gentlemen at six forty Eastern time. It is

614
00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:44,360
Speaker 1: Gregory's excuse me, greg with two g's. I got a

615
00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:46,760
Speaker 1: lot of support, by the way from a few Twitter

616
00:30:46,840 --> 00:30:48,880
Speaker 1: followers that have the double G at the end that

617
00:30:48,920 --> 00:30:51,360
Speaker 1: they felt my pain and they were glad I stuck

618
00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:56,160
Speaker 1: up for it. So didn't feel it wasn't attacking your name.

619
00:30:56,240 --> 00:30:59,080
Speaker 1: I just it was simply an error. I forgot that

620
00:30:59,120 --> 00:31:03,040
Speaker 1: it was not Gregory but the New England Patriots. They

621
00:31:03,040 --> 00:31:05,960
Speaker 1: are in their building once again, the ninth a f

622
00:31:06,040 --> 00:31:09,239
Speaker 1: C Championship game in the Brady Belichick era, and the

623
00:31:09,280 --> 00:31:12,320
Speaker 1: only team standing in the in their way another trip

624
00:31:12,360 --> 00:31:16,000
Speaker 1: to the Super Bowl. The Indianapolis Colts, who of course

625
00:31:16,120 --> 00:31:20,600
Speaker 1: had had a big, huge win, upset win over the

626
00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:23,840
Speaker 1: Denver Broncos knocking off Peyton Manning. So now the Colts

627
00:31:23,840 --> 00:31:26,800
Speaker 1: get a chance to knock off Peyton Manning and Tom

628
00:31:26,840 --> 00:31:29,600
Speaker 1: Brady and back to back weeks. That hasn't happened since

629
00:31:29,640 --> 00:31:32,400
Speaker 1: the two thousand ten Jets. Greg got the Jets in there,

630
00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:38,680
Speaker 1: We're live somehow relevant. Um, So here we go the

631
00:31:38,720 --> 00:31:43,160
Speaker 1: big matchup. Luck for his Brady Colts first Patriots, Greg,

632
00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:46,320
Speaker 1: you get us going on this one. I went back

633
00:31:46,360 --> 00:31:49,320
Speaker 1: and I watched the Colts, you know, Broncos game, and

634
00:31:49,680 --> 00:31:52,120
Speaker 1: the more I watched, I wanted to give a lot

635
00:31:52,160 --> 00:31:55,640
Speaker 1: of credit to their offensive line, especially Anthony Costanza, who

636
00:31:55,720 --> 00:32:00,960
Speaker 1: had a dominant They ran behind him, left him against

637
00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:03,560
Speaker 1: where one on one the whole game, and he was great.

638
00:32:03,920 --> 00:32:08,160
Speaker 1: And they have a guy Joe Wrights right tackle who's

639
00:32:08,160 --> 00:32:10,880
Speaker 1: going up against von Miller. It's just you would think

640
00:32:10,880 --> 00:32:13,400
Speaker 1: they're gonna lose these matchups. And the more I watched

641
00:32:13,400 --> 00:32:17,160
Speaker 1: the game, the less impressed I was with the offensive line,

642
00:32:17,440 --> 00:32:21,120
Speaker 1: especially everyone to the right of Costanzo, and the more

643
00:32:21,160 --> 00:32:23,560
Speaker 1: impressed I was with Andrew Luck. It doesn't matter there

644
00:32:23,640 --> 00:32:26,000
Speaker 1: was pressure on Andrew Luck. He just reacts to it

645
00:32:26,240 --> 00:32:30,920
Speaker 1: so fast and makes a great play anyways that I

646
00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:33,280
Speaker 1: don't know if he's the best to do it that

647
00:32:33,320 --> 00:32:35,120
Speaker 1: I've ever seen, but he's the best to do it

648
00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:37,640
Speaker 1: since early Tom Brady. And he's so much more athletic.

649
00:32:38,120 --> 00:32:40,440
Speaker 1: It's just impossible to get this guy down. I love

650
00:32:40,480 --> 00:32:43,280
Speaker 1: the run, the touchdown run that got called back by

651
00:32:43,320 --> 00:32:46,280
Speaker 1: Andrew Luck. And there's a good reason right there why

652
00:32:46,320 --> 00:32:49,360
Speaker 1: Belichick called him basically a six receiver that you have

653
00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:52,360
Speaker 1: to cover out on the field. I mean, this guy,

654
00:32:52,560 --> 00:32:59,600
Speaker 1: come on, what are you talk there's there's a career.

655
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:02,920
Speaker 1: Email is gonna win this game? I am sorry, Greg,

656
00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:06,200
Speaker 1: let me let me write that down. Mark Sessler, Andrew Luck.

657
00:33:06,520 --> 00:33:10,880
Speaker 1: This guy, come on, I think everyone know that you

658
00:33:12,480 --> 00:33:17,440
Speaker 1: this guy he's doing. He is mowing down legendary quarterbacks

659
00:33:17,480 --> 00:33:22,920
Speaker 1: week after week. It was Peyton, man, it was Brady,

660
00:33:23,480 --> 00:33:28,640
Speaker 1: it was Andy Dalton. Alright, why are you so much

661
00:33:28,760 --> 00:33:30,960
Speaker 1: more hot than the rest of us? I don't know.

662
00:33:30,960 --> 00:33:32,720
Speaker 1: Because the sort of light I'm looking up at a

663
00:33:32,840 --> 00:33:35,800
Speaker 1: light that is burning on my turned the thermoset down

664
00:33:35,840 --> 00:33:39,640
Speaker 1: to I'm trying. I will tell a photo for the

665
00:33:39,640 --> 00:33:42,080
Speaker 1: listeners at home of this light that is staring into

666
00:33:42,120 --> 00:33:45,360
Speaker 1: my face and why is it on? Why do we

667
00:33:45,400 --> 00:33:50,200
Speaker 1: need it? It is burning into my skin? All right,

668
00:33:50,840 --> 00:33:56,400
Speaker 1: get back on track your your first thoughts about this game.

669
00:33:57,200 --> 00:34:00,760
Speaker 1: Andrew Luck has been excellent, Greg's right. Sixteen He's last week,

670
00:34:00,760 --> 00:34:03,959
Speaker 1: according to Pro Football Focus, not a single sack. The

671
00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:06,960
Speaker 1: Colts are playing offense differently than they did during the season.

672
00:34:06,960 --> 00:34:09,040
Speaker 1: They're going with more three tight end sets to help

673
00:34:09,080 --> 00:34:12,360
Speaker 1: with protection and Luck is taking a lot more short

674
00:34:12,400 --> 00:34:15,959
Speaker 1: passes to boom Heron and the tight ends to keep

675
00:34:16,360 --> 00:34:19,520
Speaker 1: the pass rush. Honest, he's done an excellent job. So

676
00:34:19,560 --> 00:34:21,480
Speaker 1: I think that the offense is just kind of different

677
00:34:21,520 --> 00:34:24,600
Speaker 1: than it was during the season. He's maturing. And you

678
00:34:24,640 --> 00:34:27,239
Speaker 1: mentioned it in the video we did for NFL Now

679
00:34:27,280 --> 00:34:29,560
Speaker 1: What to watch for this weekend. You guys can check

680
00:34:29,560 --> 00:34:32,399
Speaker 1: out in her folder on NFL Now and and you

681
00:34:32,400 --> 00:34:36,680
Speaker 1: you said they're designing quick throws, but sometimes they're designing

682
00:34:37,239 --> 00:34:40,799
Speaker 1: deep throws and he's not forcing it anymore. That there

683
00:34:40,800 --> 00:34:42,839
Speaker 1: were two plays that really stuck out to me last

684
00:34:42,880 --> 00:34:45,160
Speaker 1: week where that happened. One of them was the flee flicker,

685
00:34:45,640 --> 00:34:48,799
Speaker 1: which boom Heron didn't really sell for long enough, so

686
00:34:48,920 --> 00:34:51,640
Speaker 1: none of the Broncos fell forward at all. They send

687
00:34:51,719 --> 00:34:55,080
Speaker 1: two guys deep, including Hilton, and it was covered well

688
00:34:55,239 --> 00:34:58,080
Speaker 1: and Luck just sat there forever. And it seems like

689
00:34:58,120 --> 00:35:00,680
Speaker 1: such an unlucky thing to do, and he's took Dwayne

690
00:35:00,719 --> 00:35:02,759
Speaker 1: Allen for five yards and he kept the job. Was

691
00:35:02,800 --> 00:35:04,680
Speaker 1: one of my favorite players in the game because a

692
00:35:04,680 --> 00:35:07,080
Speaker 1: lot of other young quarterbacks would have thrown a pick

693
00:35:07,120 --> 00:35:09,399
Speaker 1: on that thing. Yeah, like Andrew Luck usually or last

694
00:35:09,520 --> 00:35:12,000
Speaker 1: year makes the patented Matt Shop checked down on a

695
00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:15,479
Speaker 1: flea flicker, right, But it was smart in this case,

696
00:35:15,560 --> 00:35:17,680
Speaker 1: like I thought, he just took the conceit took whatever

697
00:35:17,800 --> 00:35:20,040
Speaker 1: yards were available to him. He was And there was

698
00:35:20,080 --> 00:35:26,120
Speaker 1: another touchdown drive in the second half early where he

699
00:35:26,320 --> 00:35:28,960
Speaker 1: had uh I think it was a second and long

700
00:35:29,320 --> 00:35:31,279
Speaker 1: and again they had dialed up a couple of deep

701
00:35:31,320 --> 00:35:33,560
Speaker 1: shots and he didn't take and he took four yards

702
00:35:33,560 --> 00:35:35,160
Speaker 1: to set up third and four and they get the

703
00:35:35,160 --> 00:35:37,080
Speaker 1: third and four and then they go on too a touchdown.

704
00:35:37,120 --> 00:35:39,279
Speaker 1: So that's that's kind of the maturation of a young

705
00:35:39,360 --> 00:35:42,200
Speaker 1: quarterback who is used to being more of a gun slinger.

706
00:35:43,360 --> 00:35:45,400
Speaker 1: All of the numbers are working in the Patriots favor.

707
00:35:45,480 --> 00:35:48,520
Speaker 1: Here Mark mentioned all the quarterbacks that luck is beating.

708
00:35:49,200 --> 00:35:52,319
Speaker 1: He beat two quarterbacks who have combined for thirteen one

709
00:35:52,320 --> 00:35:55,680
Speaker 1: and ounce in postseason, and Dalton and Manning. Now he

710
00:35:55,719 --> 00:35:58,120
Speaker 1: gets but with Dalton, I was being there was an

711
00:35:58,120 --> 00:36:01,200
Speaker 1: element of start and in my mention at Alton, absolutely

712
00:36:01,200 --> 00:36:03,120
Speaker 1: and I get that. But now he's facing a guy

713
00:36:03,200 --> 00:36:05,360
Speaker 1: who is making his ninth appearance in the n f

714
00:36:05,440 --> 00:36:08,319
Speaker 1: C Championship Game. It's a little bit different. The Patriots

715
00:36:08,320 --> 00:36:11,479
Speaker 1: are sixty and seven and Tom Brady's last sixties seven

716
00:36:11,480 --> 00:36:14,200
Speaker 1: home starts. He also has the best winning percentage in

717
00:36:14,320 --> 00:36:17,719
Speaker 1: NFL history in games under forty degrees eight sixty five

718
00:36:17,800 --> 00:36:22,240
Speaker 1: winning percentage, all of the numbers, and then you twenty

719
00:36:22,239 --> 00:36:25,560
Speaker 1: two is the average Patriots the Colts score. In the

720
00:36:25,640 --> 00:36:28,520
Speaker 1: last three games since Luck was drafted, they've run over.

721
00:36:28,560 --> 00:36:31,120
Speaker 1: They've had. Two of the most impressive rushing games in

722
00:36:31,120 --> 00:36:33,960
Speaker 1: the last half decade have been the Patriots against the Colts,

723
00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:36,359
Speaker 1: and the last two times they've played. I think with Indianapolis,

724
00:36:36,440 --> 00:36:38,480
Speaker 1: it's like we talked about them as they aren't a

725
00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:40,680
Speaker 1: good team, we said for weeks and weeks. Right, there's

726
00:36:40,680 --> 00:36:42,719
Speaker 1: just things about them to make them not a complete team,

727
00:36:42,719 --> 00:36:45,000
Speaker 1: not as complete as any of the other three teams

728
00:36:45,760 --> 00:36:48,520
Speaker 1: this week. But I kind of think sometimes with the

729
00:36:48,520 --> 00:36:50,840
Speaker 1: playoffs and with it the way it works with momentum

730
00:36:50,840 --> 00:36:53,479
Speaker 1: and a quarterback like Luck, that I just don't really care.

731
00:36:54,480 --> 00:36:56,640
Speaker 1: I just don't care. It's like you can throw anything

732
00:36:56,680 --> 00:36:59,279
Speaker 1: you want me. I think Indianapolis wins this game. Well,

733
00:36:59,320 --> 00:37:02,640
Speaker 1: they're playing like a great defense there the Broncos. I

734
00:37:02,680 --> 00:37:06,840
Speaker 1: know how many points did the Patriots give up last week? Right? Exactly?

735
00:37:06,920 --> 00:37:09,080
Speaker 1: The Patriots are coming off a game where they really

736
00:37:09,120 --> 00:37:12,280
Speaker 1: didn't look good, where they had to dip into every

737
00:37:12,320 --> 00:37:15,200
Speaker 1: bag of trick possible. If if another team had won

738
00:37:15,239 --> 00:37:17,520
Speaker 1: that game, and people probably wouldn't have given him that

739
00:37:17,640 --> 00:37:19,880
Speaker 1: much credit. They would say, oh, they almost they almost

740
00:37:19,960 --> 00:37:22,080
Speaker 1: lucked into that. They have their you know, running wide

741
00:37:22,120 --> 00:37:25,520
Speaker 1: receiver throwing touchdown passes, and they got four offensive linemen.

742
00:37:25,840 --> 00:37:27,839
Speaker 1: I look at as a Patriots fans like, maybe Tom

743
00:37:27,880 --> 00:37:30,239
Speaker 1: Brady can play a little looser with that out of

744
00:37:30,239 --> 00:37:32,360
Speaker 1: the way, because he's been a little tight sometimes in

745
00:37:32,400 --> 00:37:34,960
Speaker 1: these early early playoff games. I think he didn't even

746
00:37:35,120 --> 00:37:38,160
Speaker 1: psychotic at the at that in the Ravens game. Dan

747
00:37:38,200 --> 00:37:40,080
Speaker 1: and I were watching that. I'm wrong. Yeah, he was

748
00:37:40,120 --> 00:37:42,680
Speaker 1: a little overly intense. They asked him about that yesterday

749
00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:44,520
Speaker 1: and he said that's that's just who he is. But

750
00:37:44,560 --> 00:37:46,520
Speaker 1: it never affects him when he's in the pocket in

751
00:37:46,560 --> 00:37:48,839
Speaker 1: the huddle. And he didn't play well in the first half,

752
00:37:49,360 --> 00:37:52,239
Speaker 1: and he didn't really have a great game. I would

753
00:37:52,239 --> 00:37:54,480
Speaker 1: say he had a good game, you know, a solid

754
00:37:54,480 --> 00:37:56,759
Speaker 1: game with a good with a great, great finish. And

755
00:37:57,200 --> 00:37:59,839
Speaker 1: I'll say this, as far as that game goes, I mean,

756
00:38:00,239 --> 00:38:02,520
Speaker 1: it's always gonna be a dog fight with the Ravens

757
00:38:02,520 --> 00:38:04,359
Speaker 1: and Patriots in the playoffs. We see that all the time,

758
00:38:04,920 --> 00:38:07,000
Speaker 1: and the and the and the big thing with that

759
00:38:07,120 --> 00:38:09,439
Speaker 1: you were worried about, Greg, And that's why when we're

760
00:38:09,440 --> 00:38:12,520
Speaker 1: talking pe and your pants and potential for your nation

761
00:38:12,760 --> 00:38:16,239
Speaker 1: and your underpants. Uh, we had mentioned that you're the

762
00:38:16,320 --> 00:38:18,759
Speaker 1: offense scared you. But there they go. They pile up

763
00:38:18,760 --> 00:38:20,319
Speaker 1: a good amount of points in this game, and they

764
00:38:20,360 --> 00:38:22,879
Speaker 1: get better as the game goes along so that you

765
00:38:22,880 --> 00:38:24,480
Speaker 1: you don't have to worry about them being in a

766
00:38:24,520 --> 00:38:28,239
Speaker 1: funk offensively anymore. UM. I just love them playing in

767
00:38:28,320 --> 00:38:31,160
Speaker 1: this building. And I think I think Andrew luck is playing.

768
00:38:31,160 --> 00:38:33,640
Speaker 1: It's such a high level that would I be shocked

769
00:38:33,640 --> 00:38:35,719
Speaker 1: if he's like the guy, the magic carpet ride guy

770
00:38:35,719 --> 00:38:37,760
Speaker 1: that goes into the super Bowl. Now, I wouldn't be shocked,

771
00:38:38,000 --> 00:38:40,640
Speaker 1: But I'm not. I'm not betting against Brady, not at

772
00:38:40,640 --> 00:38:42,279
Speaker 1: this stage of his career, and not the way how

773
00:38:42,360 --> 00:38:44,920
Speaker 1: much he wants it, how much his team uh seems

774
00:38:44,960 --> 00:38:47,000
Speaker 1: primed and they have they win the coach battle easily.

775
00:38:47,040 --> 00:38:49,880
Speaker 1: To come on, Billy Belichick's involved. I don't know if

776
00:38:49,920 --> 00:38:54,759
Speaker 1: I'll call it a but I'm starting to get very

777
00:38:54,800 --> 00:38:57,000
Speaker 1: fascinated with this Cools team. The more I watch him play,

778
00:38:57,080 --> 00:39:00,360
Speaker 1: I'm starting to develop a feeling that they might just

779
00:39:00,480 --> 00:39:04,920
Speaker 1: knock off the Patriots, like you might switch. Are you

780
00:39:04,920 --> 00:39:10,960
Speaker 1: gonna take him? But when you sit guys like Key

781
00:39:11,080 --> 00:39:13,520
Speaker 1: Knicks making plays like he did with the Giants, you

782
00:39:13,560 --> 00:39:18,240
Speaker 1: see Kobe Fleaner becoming a different player, Dante Moncrief making plays.

783
00:39:18,280 --> 00:39:21,480
Speaker 1: How about Corey Reading He was dominant last week. I

784
00:39:21,520 --> 00:39:24,760
Speaker 1: mean he was the best. He was the best defensive

785
00:39:24,760 --> 00:39:28,160
Speaker 1: player on the field, and a monster game was Davis

786
00:39:28,200 --> 00:39:29,640
Speaker 1: the two of them. I don't know if our listeners

787
00:39:29,640 --> 00:39:33,160
Speaker 1: know about Jonathan Newsome, rookie fifth rounder, second in the

788
00:39:33,239 --> 00:39:35,520
Speaker 1: NFL among rookies and sacks this year, and made a

789
00:39:35,600 --> 00:39:38,319
Speaker 1: huge play against the Broncos last week. This guy's been

790
00:39:38,360 --> 00:39:41,239
Speaker 1: making plays for the last month. By the way, how

791
00:39:41,239 --> 00:39:43,799
Speaker 1: many teams in the last five ten years have gone

792
00:39:43,800 --> 00:39:47,400
Speaker 1: into the Super Bowl with defenses ranked or worst but

793
00:39:47,560 --> 00:39:50,719
Speaker 1: super hot offenses. The Giants did that, the Packers did

794
00:39:50,719 --> 00:39:54,000
Speaker 1: that at one point. I'm just not really overly concerned

795
00:39:54,080 --> 00:39:57,239
Speaker 1: with Indianapolis where they ranked defensively, and well, I don't

796
00:39:57,320 --> 00:40:01,520
Speaker 1: I don't think they ranked above the Patriots. I don't

797
00:40:01,520 --> 00:40:04,040
Speaker 1: think the defense is gonna win them this game, though.

798
00:40:04,080 --> 00:40:06,399
Speaker 1: I just don't see the Patriots being held down. Who's

799
00:40:06,440 --> 00:40:10,080
Speaker 1: covering Gronk Landry. I mean, give me a break. I

800
00:40:10,160 --> 00:40:11,960
Speaker 1: think they're gonna They've shown that they can run the

801
00:40:11,960 --> 00:40:14,960
Speaker 1: ball on the Colt chat like even the Broncos. They

802
00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:18,040
Speaker 1: pushed Chapman out of the way very easily in that game,

803
00:40:18,080 --> 00:40:19,839
Speaker 1: and they ran up the gut very well. I'm sure

804
00:40:19,880 --> 00:40:21,960
Speaker 1: the Patriots saw that they ran at them. I think

805
00:40:21,960 --> 00:40:24,120
Speaker 1: the Patriots are gonna score a lot of points. I

806
00:40:24,120 --> 00:40:26,439
Speaker 1: think if the Colts are gonna win this game, it's

807
00:40:26,480 --> 00:40:29,440
Speaker 1: by scoring thirty eight points, and I think they're capable

808
00:40:29,600 --> 00:40:32,640
Speaker 1: of doing that. Just one thing though, again a week ago,

809
00:40:32,800 --> 00:40:35,600
Speaker 1: we were saying the same thing about Denver's offense against

810
00:40:35,680 --> 00:40:39,799
Speaker 1: Indies defense. I'm just but we've seen the Patriots drop

811
00:40:39,880 --> 00:40:42,160
Speaker 1: forty on that. We've seen the Patriots drop thirty eight

812
00:40:42,160 --> 00:40:45,000
Speaker 1: on the Ravens a very good defense last week. So

813
00:40:45,280 --> 00:40:48,000
Speaker 1: I just think the colts is route to win is

814
00:40:48,040 --> 00:40:50,560
Speaker 1: by getting t Y Hilton behind defense. They couldn't do

815
00:40:50,600 --> 00:40:53,480
Speaker 1: it last time. Kyle Arrington took t Y Hilton out

816
00:40:53,480 --> 00:40:55,560
Speaker 1: of the game, which is bizarre. They didn't have vas

817
00:40:55,880 --> 00:40:59,759
Speaker 1: the Patriots fan. Is there not some nervousness about dealing

818
00:40:59,840 --> 00:41:03,040
Speaker 1: with Andrew Luck versus anyone else in this spot? Oh,

819
00:41:03,080 --> 00:41:07,040
Speaker 1: it's time to do it. Pepant scale. There, we are

820
00:41:07,080 --> 00:41:10,480
Speaker 1: welcome to the pee pants Scale with Greg Rosendale, father

821
00:41:10,600 --> 00:41:15,000
Speaker 1: of two Los Angeles Greg one to ten one aviators on.

822
00:41:15,320 --> 00:41:17,440
Speaker 1: Pop the collar of your leather jacket, hop on your

823
00:41:17,480 --> 00:41:21,920
Speaker 1: Harley and ride to the beach. Ten. I gotta be honest.

824
00:41:21,960 --> 00:41:24,279
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm flying high. Maybe it's I just can't

825
00:41:24,320 --> 00:41:26,760
Speaker 1: believe anything bad could happen on the week that Walker

826
00:41:26,840 --> 00:41:30,600
Speaker 1: Rosenthal in the world. I just think that I'm confident.

827
00:41:30,640 --> 00:41:35,560
Speaker 1: I'm feeling good. So you are to I believe a

828
00:41:35,680 --> 00:41:40,239
Speaker 1: six with the Ravens H three and I like the Yeah,

829
00:41:40,280 --> 00:41:43,160
Speaker 1: the sun the Walker move, I like that. And you're

830
00:41:43,160 --> 00:41:47,360
Speaker 1: gonna pick against the Patriots walking You're basically picking against

831
00:41:47,360 --> 00:41:49,160
Speaker 1: my son. Well, I don't like the way you frame

832
00:41:49,239 --> 00:41:54,960
Speaker 1: the narrative where I'm sort of betraying. That's not how

833
00:41:54,960 --> 00:41:57,480
Speaker 1: this is going. You know what it's like animals. I'm

834
00:41:57,520 --> 00:42:00,680
Speaker 1: not gonna sit here and let you insult America. I'm

835
00:42:00,719 --> 00:42:03,520
Speaker 1: just being honest. I mean, you're looking at this Colts team.

836
00:42:03,560 --> 00:42:05,799
Speaker 1: I mean as a team to get into the an

837
00:42:05,800 --> 00:42:08,319
Speaker 1: FC Championship, you have. If you were on the other side,

838
00:42:08,360 --> 00:42:10,400
Speaker 1: if the Browns were facing the Colts, you would you

839
00:42:10,480 --> 00:42:13,360
Speaker 1: at least pick out their weaknesses. I mean, Luck is worrisome,

840
00:42:13,360 --> 00:42:15,680
Speaker 1: but I would never happened. I counter that at least

841
00:42:15,680 --> 00:42:18,840
Speaker 1: they have a secondary and they have very athletic guys

842
00:42:18,920 --> 00:42:21,919
Speaker 1: rushing Luck. So if anyone's gonna somehow take down Luck,

843
00:42:22,080 --> 00:42:25,120
Speaker 1: it's gonna be Chandler Jones or Dante Hightower or Jamie

844
00:42:25,160 --> 00:42:27,520
Speaker 1: Collins three the most athletic guys you can find. None

845
00:42:27,520 --> 00:42:29,680
Speaker 1: of them and your boy West. By the way, we

846
00:42:29,719 --> 00:42:35,880
Speaker 1: should talk about Danny Amendola because he's coming off. He's

847
00:42:38,160 --> 00:42:40,600
Speaker 1: on the line with the heart. The heart wants what

848
00:42:40,640 --> 00:42:44,000
Speaker 1: the heart wants. When a Mendola is making a play.

849
00:42:44,160 --> 00:42:46,600
Speaker 1: Chris Wessling likes up like a Christmas tree. Is a

850
00:42:46,680 --> 00:42:51,080
Speaker 1: Mendola riding a golden haired horse towards the stable of

851
00:42:51,160 --> 00:42:56,680
Speaker 1: boys he is, but the stable doors locked to look.

852
00:42:56,719 --> 00:42:58,719
Speaker 1: I just feel like he's gotten a raw deal from

853
00:42:58,719 --> 00:43:02,359
Speaker 1: Patriots fans who will not admit that he basically had

854
00:43:02,400 --> 00:43:04,919
Speaker 1: a hundred yards and ten catches in his first game

855
00:43:04,960 --> 00:43:07,640
Speaker 1: ever with the Patriots. Then had a torn groin. You're

856
00:43:07,640 --> 00:43:10,160
Speaker 1: not going to be the same player. He has been

857
00:43:10,200 --> 00:43:13,279
Speaker 1: a huge factor in two big Patriots wins. He was

858
00:43:13,400 --> 00:43:15,400
Speaker 1: he was monstrous in the game against the Jets that

859
00:43:15,440 --> 00:43:18,239
Speaker 1: clinched home field, and he was huge last week. The

860
00:43:18,320 --> 00:43:20,239
Speaker 1: play he made on third and six is one of

861
00:43:20,280 --> 00:43:22,239
Speaker 1: the most memorable plays of that game that he was

862
00:43:22,239 --> 00:43:24,280
Speaker 1: fighting for first round. It's set up the game winner.

863
00:43:24,560 --> 00:43:26,840
Speaker 1: And if you and we've heard for years that that

864
00:43:26,920 --> 00:43:29,040
Speaker 1: Brady hasn't had a lot of weapons, but Gronk is

865
00:43:29,080 --> 00:43:32,000
Speaker 1: the best tight end maybe ever. As we said, Ed

866
00:43:32,400 --> 00:43:35,560
Speaker 1: Edelman is, uh, you know, a great little receiver that

867
00:43:35,600 --> 00:43:40,960
Speaker 1: had a hundred catches almost and rand O Fel makes plays.

868
00:43:40,960 --> 00:43:43,840
Speaker 1: And now if if Ammadle is making some plays all

869
00:43:43,840 --> 00:43:45,440
Speaker 1: of a sudden, there's a lot of guys that have

870
00:43:45,520 --> 00:43:48,080
Speaker 1: to worry about if you're the Cults defense. By the way,

871
00:43:48,120 --> 00:43:51,520
Speaker 1: I put Vante Davis on Gronk, that is a that

872
00:43:51,560 --> 00:43:54,440
Speaker 1: would be interesting and it would make a lot of sense.

873
00:43:55,120 --> 00:43:57,759
Speaker 1: Maybe they will do that. I'm interested to watch how

874
00:43:57,760 --> 00:44:00,440
Speaker 1: they call this game because the Colts got away with

875
00:44:00,480 --> 00:44:04,080
Speaker 1: a lot of holding on the Broncos last week, and

876
00:44:04,120 --> 00:44:06,160
Speaker 1: I like that. I don't mind them playing physical. The

877
00:44:06,200 --> 00:44:09,120
Speaker 1: Patriots wrote the book on holding and playing physical in

878
00:44:09,160 --> 00:44:12,279
Speaker 1: the playoffs. But it's two secondaries that like to get

879
00:44:12,360 --> 00:44:16,400
Speaker 1: up in your right. That's Greg, I mean Greg Toler

880
00:44:16,640 --> 00:44:18,279
Speaker 1: got away with a bunch of holes that didn't get

881
00:44:18,280 --> 00:44:20,400
Speaker 1: I'd like to see Vante Davis bumping Gronk at the

882
00:44:20,400 --> 00:44:23,799
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage. Anger the gronk man, so you can

883
00:44:24,000 --> 00:44:25,960
Speaker 1: use a linebacker to bump him at the line of scrimmage.

884
00:44:25,960 --> 00:44:28,399
Speaker 1: Didn't put Davis on him? All right, here we go,

885
00:44:28,840 --> 00:44:34,879
Speaker 1: it's time. I'd use a taser. And this thing, well,

886
00:44:34,920 --> 00:44:36,800
Speaker 1: you know, you take the worst guy on the team,

887
00:44:37,040 --> 00:44:39,399
Speaker 1: Take the worst guy on the team, taser the hell

888
00:44:39,400 --> 00:44:42,640
Speaker 1: out of rock. He gets tossed. And you know, pagano I,

889
00:44:42,640 --> 00:44:44,600
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't believe in that method. I don't

890
00:44:44,600 --> 00:44:46,440
Speaker 1: know where that came. I mean, it's basically on the

891
00:44:46,440 --> 00:44:51,319
Speaker 1: back page of the Let Hughie play for a game.

892
00:44:51,400 --> 00:44:54,359
Speaker 1: Remember that Hie guy. They have Trent richardson, get one

893
00:44:54,360 --> 00:44:59,720
Speaker 1: of the get one of the brothers event brother tas

894
00:45:01,120 --> 00:45:06,920
Speaker 1: have t rich Active just for one play the taste play.

895
00:45:07,040 --> 00:45:08,760
Speaker 1: All right, here we go sign to make our picks

896
00:45:08,800 --> 00:45:11,680
Speaker 1: for the game. And we'll start with Mark, who We

897
00:45:11,719 --> 00:45:14,840
Speaker 1: already what was that quote again from earlier, We already

898
00:45:14,840 --> 00:45:19,680
Speaker 1: know it. You're gonna go with Markus Andrew Luck. Come on,

899
00:45:20,040 --> 00:45:22,399
Speaker 1: sell it one more time, Mark with the final score.

900
00:45:22,440 --> 00:45:26,360
Speaker 1: It's not always overly complex, it's simple. Andrew Luck is

901
00:45:26,440 --> 00:45:36,600
Speaker 1: on a absolute chain towards the Super Bowl five like that,

902
00:45:37,360 --> 00:45:40,279
Speaker 1: and who is your tough number to get to? But

903
00:45:40,360 --> 00:45:42,840
Speaker 1: you could do it? Who is your what was our phrase,

904
00:45:42,920 --> 00:45:46,839
Speaker 1: popping player? It's a team effort. I'm not picking one person.

905
00:45:46,880 --> 00:45:49,239
Speaker 1: This is They're all gonna come together and hoist that

906
00:45:49,320 --> 00:45:52,520
Speaker 1: a f C championship trophy in the middle of Gillette Stadium.

907
00:45:52,719 --> 00:45:57,759
Speaker 1: Come on, give me somebody, no alright, here we go.

908
00:45:59,680 --> 00:46:02,279
Speaker 1: You know I wrote up the preview for this and

909
00:46:02,360 --> 00:46:06,439
Speaker 1: I have Patriots thirty to four winning. I'm switching. I'm

910
00:46:06,480 --> 00:46:12,560
Speaker 1: on Mars Andrew Luck chained to success. I'm going thirty

911
00:46:13,239 --> 00:46:19,120
Speaker 1: Colts Hockey nicks. And the fallout from this game is

912
00:46:19,120 --> 00:46:27,359
Speaker 1: that Walker Rosenthal ends up being a Colts fan. Well,

913
00:46:27,360 --> 00:46:30,240
Speaker 1: the other fallout is that Dickie Vernon Trone is gonna

914
00:46:30,280 --> 00:46:34,680
Speaker 1: face criminal charges. But it does wrong. But the Browns

915
00:46:34,760 --> 00:46:37,000
Speaker 1: trade both first round picks and next year's first for

916
00:46:37,080 --> 00:46:42,200
Speaker 1: Tom Brady All right, let's let's let's get back to Saturday.

917
00:46:42,200 --> 00:46:44,319
Speaker 1: The Patriots gonna win at home in the NFT title

918
00:46:44,400 --> 00:46:46,400
Speaker 1: game against the Colts team that they're better than, and

919
00:46:46,400 --> 00:46:48,799
Speaker 1: they're gonna do it because they're the Patriots, and you

920
00:46:48,840 --> 00:46:52,280
Speaker 1: know what else they This is a classic Belichick movement.

921
00:46:52,280 --> 00:46:54,840
Speaker 1: We're gonna see what was the rushing breakdown of this

922
00:46:54,960 --> 00:46:57,560
Speaker 1: last week? The last game they had I think they're

923
00:46:57,640 --> 00:47:02,160
Speaker 1: leading restaurants seven yards play like they had fourteen, which

924
00:47:02,239 --> 00:47:05,719
Speaker 1: was less than half of the lowest previous total in

925
00:47:05,760 --> 00:47:08,200
Speaker 1: playoff history. Okay, this is gonna be the game where

926
00:47:08,280 --> 00:47:10,880
Speaker 1: Legarrett Blunt gets twenty four carriers or a hundred and

927
00:47:10,880 --> 00:47:13,480
Speaker 1: thirteen yards and three touchdowns. They're gonna lean on the

928
00:47:13,520 --> 00:47:16,120
Speaker 1: running game. They're gonna go over two yards rushing. That's

929
00:47:16,120 --> 00:47:19,120
Speaker 1: how they're gonna beat the Cults, and they advance easily

930
00:47:20,200 --> 00:47:27,880
Speaker 1: thirty That was last year's I'm looking ahead. He's not

931
00:47:27,880 --> 00:47:29,920
Speaker 1: gonna have five touchdowns or whatever. Bad to see how

932
00:47:29,960 --> 00:47:31,719
Speaker 1: that game. But they're gonna lean harder the run, and

933
00:47:31,719 --> 00:47:34,040
Speaker 1: it's gonna catch the Colts off bounce. The peace scale

934
00:47:34,080 --> 00:47:37,200
Speaker 1: is low, my respect for the Colts is high. I

935
00:47:37,239 --> 00:47:39,719
Speaker 1: do think people forget these last two Colts games were

936
00:47:39,760 --> 00:47:42,200
Speaker 1: one score games going into the fourth quarter, and the

937
00:47:42,239 --> 00:47:45,960
Speaker 1: Patriots do what they've done well at Foxburg, which is finished.

938
00:47:45,960 --> 00:47:47,839
Speaker 1: So I see a similar type of game where I'm

939
00:47:47,880 --> 00:47:50,560
Speaker 1: sweating it out. Maybe there's a few trickles early, but

940
00:47:50,600 --> 00:47:57,040
Speaker 1: then they do win thirty one seventeen seventeen points. Sure,

941
00:47:57,080 --> 00:48:01,759
Speaker 1: why not get some turnovers? That's not it's gonna be.

942
00:48:01,920 --> 00:48:05,400
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a close game. The popping, popping player, damnit,

943
00:48:06,800 --> 00:48:09,279
Speaker 1: just Chandler Jones work. I feel like he's he had

944
00:48:09,320 --> 00:48:11,839
Speaker 1: a better game than I thought last week. He gets

945
00:48:11,840 --> 00:48:13,759
Speaker 1: a couple of sacks, big game, and I'm on the

946
00:48:13,800 --> 00:48:16,319
Speaker 1: side of Walker Rosenthalso, I'm feeling pretty good. That's all

947
00:48:16,360 --> 00:48:19,560
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say. He's got the mojo. He's a happy

948
00:48:19,600 --> 00:48:23,480
Speaker 1: little guy. Enemies a progeny. You guys, that's your fantasy

949
