Speaker 1: Michael Robinson saying I can't wait to see the quarterbacks,

2
00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:23,760
Speaker 1: a former quarterback of Super Bowl Champion joining us at

Speaker 1: the breakfast table for one final day this week. He'll

00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:27,920
Speaker 1: be on Good Morning Football weekend. Check him out to

00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:34,839
Speaker 1: We are so much too good, Joe. So we're just

8
00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:37,040
Speaker 1: gonna kick it off right away with the lead block,

9
00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:40,839
Speaker 1: the lead block. Yes, Divisional Round one sleep away. It starts,

10
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:44,599
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, tomorrow in Nashville, Joe Burrow the four

11
00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:48,000
Speaker 1: seed Bengals taking on Ryan Tannehill and the one seed Titans.

12
00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:51,040
Speaker 1: In the nightcap, Jimmy g and the Niners head to

13
00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:54,040
Speaker 1: Lambo to score off against Aaron Rodgers and the Packers. Sunday,

14
00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:55,800
Speaker 1: Stafford and the Rams tick on Tom Brady and the

15
00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:59,080
Speaker 1: defending champion Buccaneers in Tampa, where I will be. And

16
00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:02,480
Speaker 1: to wrap it up in the weekend, it is Allen Mahomes.

17
00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:05,520
Speaker 1: The Bills have to go into Kansas City to take

18
00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:08,640
Speaker 1: all those chios. I think the Super Bowls look a

19
00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:14,080
Speaker 1: piece of chalk. We're in for a phenomenal weekend of football.

20
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:16,160
Speaker 1: We cannot wake Will the four of us be making

21
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:21,120
Speaker 1: picks on the program. Believe it, believe their motivational speeches,

22
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:23,640
Speaker 1: hype speeches potentially for these fan bases. We got a

23
00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:25,679
Speaker 1: couple of speeches. Yeah, we got all. This is the

24
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:27,400
Speaker 1: best week in of football of the year my opinion.

25
00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:29,240
Speaker 1: The vision a Round wild Cards got a little dead

26
00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:31,319
Speaker 1: wood in it. Title game usually a blow out. The

27
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:33,040
Speaker 1: Visional Round is the best weekend of the year. My

28
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:36,440
Speaker 1: hardest pick for you to make. Yesterday they hit us

29
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:40,720
Speaker 1: up with that dreaded email Chiefs Bills and I will

30
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:47,920
Speaker 1: do anything for love, but to pick that game. Loves

31
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:49,440
Speaker 1: been a big part of our shop. We have been

32
00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:52,000
Speaker 1: mentioning meat Loaf for five years and meat Loaf passed

33
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:54,760
Speaker 1: away over the knifing just waking up. So this one

34
00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:56,800
Speaker 1: we're dedicating to meet Loaf. And I cannot make a

35
00:01:56,840 --> 00:01:58,480
Speaker 1: pick between these two teams, so I got to figure

36
00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:01,040
Speaker 1: it out. I can't pick between the Rams and the Buccaneers.

37
00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:04,200
Speaker 1: I'll be in Tampa. I switched it as soon as

38
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:07,240
Speaker 1: five minutes ago, so I'm still switching it. If you

39
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:08,760
Speaker 1: want to convince me why I should go with the

40
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:11,880
Speaker 1: Rams or the Buccaneers. I can be swayed. So let's

41
00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:13,720
Speaker 1: do what you guys can send us anything you want

42
00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:16,480
Speaker 1: at gm B oh yeah, or hashtag GMFB. And as

43
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:18,560
Speaker 1: we look at this late of games, Michael Robinson wants

44
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:20,680
Speaker 1: the top quarterbacks. Let's do it. There's eight of them,

45
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:23,480
Speaker 1: eight left. Who has the most at steak? When I

46
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:25,400
Speaker 1: think at steak and Robbi think who is the most

47
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:27,919
Speaker 1: to gain and the most to lose? Oh well, that's

48
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:30,320
Speaker 1: a tough question. I mean, all of these quarterbacks to

49
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:32,360
Speaker 1: me have a lot at steak, right, But I'm gonna

50
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:34,800
Speaker 1: have to say Matthew Stafford. I mean, he's one of

51
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:37,520
Speaker 1: these quarterbacks who he doesn't have a championship. He's one

52
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:40,240
Speaker 1: of the quarterbacks that we've regarded as one of the

53
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:42,720
Speaker 1: best armed talents in the league. And then I just

54
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:45,000
Speaker 1: look at what the team gave up and what the

55
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:48,920
Speaker 1: team did to go all in for this singular season.

56
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:52,320
Speaker 1: You trade Jared Golf, a former number one overall pick.

57
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:55,320
Speaker 1: He got to the Super Bowl, apparently he wasn't enough.

58
00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:58,440
Speaker 1: You get Von Miller, you get Odell Beckham. To me,

59
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:02,359
Speaker 1: getting those two players added even more pressure to Matthew Stafford.

60
00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:04,800
Speaker 1: As Sean mcvain for that matter, to get the job

61
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:07,360
Speaker 1: done this year. I think it would be a shame.

62
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:11,680
Speaker 1: It would be a just a shame if Matthew Stafford

63
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:15,520
Speaker 1: ends his career with only one playoff win. I mean,

64
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:19,160
Speaker 1: the goat almost has sixty thousand passing yards, over three

65
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:23,000
Speaker 1: hundred passing touchdowns, armed talent. Crazy. When he was in

66
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:25,360
Speaker 1: Detroit and the losing, what's happening and we blamed it

67
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:28,799
Speaker 1: on everybody else. Now he has the team around him.

68
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:30,960
Speaker 1: To me, just for this singular season, it has to

69
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:33,480
Speaker 1: be Matthew Stafford. It's a great call. And yet, like

70
00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:36,680
Speaker 1: I can't physically tear my eyes away from Chiefs Bills

71
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:39,920
Speaker 1: every question, and my eyes keep going to them. And

72
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:42,640
Speaker 1: I answered this question with Josh Allen. I think Josh

73
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:44,680
Speaker 1: Allen's got to have this one. I really do. And

74
00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:48,320
Speaker 1: it just there's some intangible to it. It's like, now's

75
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:52,120
Speaker 1: the time. Now you are never going to be playing

76
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:54,440
Speaker 1: better as a team. I think this is the best

77
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:57,120
Speaker 1: Spills team we've seen. I don't think it's the best

78
00:03:57,200 --> 00:03:59,680
Speaker 1: Chiefs team we've seen it. There's this question of if

79
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:02,040
Speaker 1: you don't don't do it now, when are you gonna

80
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:04,920
Speaker 1: do it? As well as the quarterbacks is playing, as

81
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:07,400
Speaker 1: confident as the team is, you could have a better

82
00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:09,280
Speaker 1: I set up. I guess it could be in Buffalo,

83
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:11,880
Speaker 1: or it could not be. And what I hate right

84
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:15,920
Speaker 1: now is this false sense of security, this Monday take

85
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:18,080
Speaker 1: of Well, if they don't get it done this year,

86
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:19,880
Speaker 1: you know, they got a great young quarterback, they got

87
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:23,760
Speaker 1: a great coach, they'll get back. No, they won't. That's nonsense.

88
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:25,920
Speaker 1: Tell that to Aaron Rodgers. How many super bowls has

89
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:28,279
Speaker 1: even back to? How many years to Ben Roethlisberger go

90
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:30,960
Speaker 1: not getting back to the super Bowl. Having this idea

91
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:33,720
Speaker 1: that you're going to continually show up and grow and

92
00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:37,279
Speaker 1: escalate is folly. I know that the Mahomes is Mahomes,

93
00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:40,159
Speaker 1: But Josh Allen, when's this thing? He suddenly becomes the

94
00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:43,320
Speaker 1: prince of the AFC. He sits on the throne, He

95
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:45,560
Speaker 1: goes to the title game, he sends the Chiefs at home,

96
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:47,599
Speaker 1: Chiefs when this one is back to the shallow in

97
00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:49,440
Speaker 1: western New York. This is still our conference. I think

98
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:51,839
Speaker 1: it's huge stakes, and I think now is the time

99
00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:54,839
Speaker 1: for the Bills. I think you guys both had great responses,

100
00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:57,279
Speaker 1: and they're both accurate and It's all about legacy and

101
00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:00,320
Speaker 1: whether these guys can finally get in that conversation. And

102
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:01,880
Speaker 1: yet I look at a guy who has nothing to

103
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:04,760
Speaker 1: prove to any of us. And yet Tom Brady is

104
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:07,760
Speaker 1: in a very precarious situation right not because what are

105
00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:10,119
Speaker 1: we doing at age forty four if we're not winning

106
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:13,200
Speaker 1: Super Bowls? And I start wondering, what are we doing

107
00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:16,880
Speaker 1: next year? Next year? The bucks? Starting right after the season.

108
00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:20,240
Speaker 1: Godwins a free agent, Jpp's a free agent, Jensen, his

109
00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:22,119
Speaker 1: best friend on that offensive line, is a free agent.

110
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:24,719
Speaker 1: Sues a free agent, grants a free agent. Fournet's a

111
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:27,160
Speaker 1: free agent. OJ Howard's a free agent. What are we doing?

112
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:30,279
Speaker 1: If you're Brady and you lose this game? Am I

113
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:32,800
Speaker 1: really coming back? I know he says he wants to

114
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:35,920
Speaker 1: playing a forty five, but like after the Antonio Brown

115
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:38,840
Speaker 1: mess this season and being called out public, I know

116
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:40,800
Speaker 1: we as a media are like, yeah, I mean, Brady,

117
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:43,120
Speaker 1: he's not going anywhere. I mean we certainly would know

118
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:45,360
Speaker 1: if he was pulling up Ben Roethlisberger and saying I'm done.

119
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:49,720
Speaker 1: I don't know that Brady's got a clothing line. Brady's

120
00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:52,920
Speaker 1: got a crypto company. Brady's got a very successful TV

121
00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:55,440
Speaker 1: series on right now. Brady's got a kid who's gonna

122
00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:57,440
Speaker 1: be in in high school next year, forty four years old.

123
00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:00,039
Speaker 1: If they lose to the Rams, is it really like

124
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:02,000
Speaker 1: let's get I thought last off season ones, let's get

125
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:04,200
Speaker 1: the band back together for one mo was the honeymoon season.

126
00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:07,320
Speaker 1: This was it like, hey, everyone taken, let's money. God

127
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:10,400
Speaker 1: with tires Man, he led the league in touch. He's great,

128
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:13,000
Speaker 1: he's great through What else is there for him to do?

129
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:14,640
Speaker 1: Do you think he wants to go back next year

130
00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:16,799
Speaker 1: and say let's build it again without all those guys?

131
00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:20,160
Speaker 1: I think he I think he would stay. I think

132
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:21,680
Speaker 1: he would try to get guys to come back. I

133
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:23,840
Speaker 1: think he would try to go win another Super Bowl.

134
00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:26,440
Speaker 1: To be nothing about his game says that he should

135
00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:28,920
Speaker 1: give it up. The comparison to been Roethlisberger now and

136
00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:32,160
Speaker 1: then been Roethlisberger, anybody could look at him and say, yes,

137
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:35,320
Speaker 1: he doesn't have to leave Michael. It's does he want

138
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:37,960
Speaker 1: to come back? That is it all? Commit? If you're

139
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:40,480
Speaker 1: losing a divisional round, you're looking at this Tampa roster,

140
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:42,640
Speaker 1: it's not what you entered, and then suddenly it's like

141
00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:44,640
Speaker 1: all right, three hundred since five days with the arm

142
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:47,080
Speaker 1: bands and the and the workout and the TV twelve.

143
00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:49,120
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, no one in the media is talking

144
00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:50,920
Speaker 1: about this. They have to win this week and then

145
00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:53,719
Speaker 1: otherwise those questions do start larking. The way that he's

146
00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:56,560
Speaker 1: talking doesn't give me any indication he is it, you know,

147
00:06:56,839 --> 00:06:59,120
Speaker 1: his gameplay, I don't know if he'll even leave it

148
00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:00,560
Speaker 1: up to that. He might just say I'm done. When

149
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:02,480
Speaker 1: I'm done. I just don't get that feeling that he

150
00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:04,800
Speaker 1: would walk away. But I wonder he'll have a decision

151
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:07,320
Speaker 1: to make right. What's his contract deal? One more here? Okay,

152
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:10,240
Speaker 1: and he's going to be forty five in August. Yeah,

153
00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:11,760
Speaker 1: I think he'll go where he can, you know, like

154
00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:14,760
Speaker 1: be where he can win a Super Bowl, which hopefully

155
00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:16,440
Speaker 1: is Tampa. But the post free agents, I don't know.

156
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:21,000
Speaker 1: That's really interesting. Yeah, it'll be very a lot godwin,

157
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:22,880
Speaker 1: very interesting on that list. Okay, I'm going to look

158
00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:25,400
Speaker 1: at that game that's going on in Lambeaux. Both sides

159
00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:27,880
Speaker 1: are super interesting. So much at stake. Aaron Rodgers has

160
00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:31,360
Speaker 1: everything to lose, Jimmy Garoppolo has everything to gain. This

161
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:34,120
Speaker 1: is the best squad Rogers has had around him since

162
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:38,360
Speaker 1: that fifteen and one season way back when in twenty eleven.

163
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:41,280
Speaker 1: There are no excuses if this doesn't go well. This

164
00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:43,400
Speaker 1: is obviously the most obvious choice if we have to

165
00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:45,880
Speaker 1: bring it up. After talking to him this past week

166
00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:48,120
Speaker 1: and listening like we all do to everywhere, he says,

167
00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:52,400
Speaker 1: I'm pretty convinced that the way things go here are

168
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:55,160
Speaker 1: going to influence what he does. I don't know that

169
00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:57,120
Speaker 1: his mind is made up, so I think these things

170
00:07:57,200 --> 00:08:00,840
Speaker 1: all matter, and so that's really important. And we'll see.

171
00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:02,360
Speaker 1: I mean, if they get knocked out, this is an

172
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:06,480
Speaker 1: all time devastating worst loss scenario. And then Jimmy on

173
00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:09,360
Speaker 1: the other side, if he goes in well, leads the

174
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:12,040
Speaker 1: Niners to a win with all of their injuries, and

175
00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:14,320
Speaker 1: you know the way we'll criticize his play. Can you

176
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:17,240
Speaker 1: ditch him for Trey Lambs next year if he be

177
00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:20,280
Speaker 1: like we are we talking about Jimmy Garoppolo Kyle next year.

178
00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:22,480
Speaker 1: If he does well and has a postseason run, yeah,

179
00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:24,240
Speaker 1: I think it depends how he plays. I think it's

180
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:25,760
Speaker 1: all in front of him. If he throws two picks

181
00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:27,800
Speaker 1: and they lose, but if he wins, he wins in

182
00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:30,280
Speaker 1: Lambeau like and you're in the conversation. It swings his

183
00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:33,280
Speaker 1: future in the Bay either way. Yeah, and remember Alex

184
00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:35,000
Speaker 1: Smith took him to the NFCA Championship game with the

185
00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:37,240
Speaker 1: against the Giants. They lost their Like, we're not getting

186
00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:39,319
Speaker 1: over the humay, Alex. We need to go to Kaepernick like.

187
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:41,480
Speaker 1: It's one of those deals. But gosh, if Jimmy can

188
00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:45,240
Speaker 1: beat Rogers and Lambeau g mfe Ian Rappaport joining us

189
00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:48,440
Speaker 1: right now, We'll keep talking about these quarterbacks, these Titans.

190
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:50,079
Speaker 1: I promise when we'll get to you, we'll get to

191
00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:54,480
Speaker 1: the Bengals as well. Ian head coaching searches underway all

192
00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:57,280
Speaker 1: across the league while we're excited for the Divisional round

193
00:08:57,320 --> 00:09:00,800
Speaker 1: and the Texans interview Josh McCown yesterday thrown around this

194
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:03,079
Speaker 1: very breakfast table for the past couple of weeks. Is

195
00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:05,880
Speaker 1: he a named to watch in Houston? And what else

196
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:08,000
Speaker 1: is on tap? He is an him to watch in

197
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:10,040
Speaker 1: Houston And we know that because they interviewed him for

198
00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:12,920
Speaker 1: their vacant head coaching job for the second time last year.

199
00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:15,280
Speaker 1: A little bit of a curiosity. Everybody killed the Texans

200
00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:17,720
Speaker 1: when they did it. But they didn't end up hiring

201
00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:21,000
Speaker 1: David Culley instead, and now Josh McCown is back, and

202
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:24,920
Speaker 1: certainly as the Houston Texans go through their relatively under

203
00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:27,960
Speaker 1: the radar head coaching search, this is a name to watch.

204
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:30,520
Speaker 1: And not only is he someone who I think anyone

205
00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:32,520
Speaker 1: who has encountered him probably knew he was going to

206
00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:34,720
Speaker 1: be a head coach in the NFL at some point.

207
00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:37,600
Speaker 1: Don't have any experience coaching, but had plenty of experience

208
00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:41,040
Speaker 1: in the quarterback room helping young quarterbacks. He's also close

209
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:43,080
Speaker 1: with Jackie Easterby. They may go in a little bit

210
00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:45,080
Speaker 1: of a different direction here when it comes to their

211
00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:47,079
Speaker 1: coaching search, so I would at least keep an eye

212
00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:51,000
Speaker 1: on Josh McCown. Meanwhile, some key interviews. Today's team's going

213
00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:54,199
Speaker 1: to start the process of wrapping up their search. Raheem Morris,

214
00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:58,040
Speaker 1: the respected defensive coordinator for the Los Angeles Rams, a

215
00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:01,000
Speaker 1: favorite of our own Peter schre who's been campaigning for

216
00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:03,520
Speaker 1: him to get a head coach interview. He has one today.

217
00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:06,360
Speaker 1: He is going to speak with the Minnesota Vikings, who

218
00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:08,839
Speaker 1: also seemed to be wrapping up the GM side of

219
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:11,880
Speaker 1: their searches. Meanwhile, speaking of offensive coordinator. On the other

220
00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:14,600
Speaker 1: side of the ball, Kevin O'Connell is expected to speak

221
00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:17,520
Speaker 1: with the Minnesota Vikings. That is going to happen today.

222
00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:20,679
Speaker 1: Spoke with the Broncos recently, then has the Texans on

223
00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:24,000
Speaker 1: tap over the weekend, and finally is the Denver Broncos

224
00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:27,200
Speaker 1: round up their first round of search. Eric b Enemy

225
00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:31,760
Speaker 1: the off candidate and offensive coordinator for the Kansas City Chiefs.

226
00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:35,079
Speaker 1: He is expected interview with the Denver Broncos. This is

227
00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:38,520
Speaker 1: another one to watch. He is locally from University of Colorado,

228
00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:41,560
Speaker 1: a Buffalo, and he's going to interview with his hometown team.

229
00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:46,760
Speaker 1: Tim gonna talk Brightest Stars presented by Oakley. We're approaching

230
00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:49,079
Speaker 1: another huge weekend in football. It's really time for players

231
00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:51,160
Speaker 1: to step up and get their teams a win. So

232
00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:55,960
Speaker 1: who will shine brightest in the throwdown round? Microp I'm

233
00:10:56,000 --> 00:11:00,360
Speaker 1: gonna go with Ram's new edition. Von Miller. Okay, dude

234
00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:03,000
Speaker 1: is a playmaker. I'm starting to see him. Seemed like

235
00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:05,880
Speaker 1: he's getting his legs back Right's that that first step

236
00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:08,360
Speaker 1: has come back and again he's starting to dance. He's

237
00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:10,800
Speaker 1: starting to celebrate. You can see that he's starting to

238
00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:13,599
Speaker 1: get acclimated. With the Los Angeles Rams nine and a

239
00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:17,240
Speaker 1: half sacks this season seven and a half sacks versus

240
00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:19,920
Speaker 1: Tom Brady. He understands how to get to Tom Brady

241
00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:23,280
Speaker 1: in a quick fashion. He's going to be singled up.

242
00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:26,320
Speaker 1: He has Aaron Donald inside. I think he's gonna shine

243
00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:30,439
Speaker 1: bright come Sunday Vama to show up. He's scary man.

244
00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:32,920
Speaker 1: That's a good reason to pick the rounds to beat

245
00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:37,120
Speaker 1: the box. I got a text our producers last Packers

246
00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:39,240
Speaker 1: playoff run if you can just take and think back

247
00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:42,160
Speaker 1: to it to boil down to Green Bay, needing someone

248
00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:44,640
Speaker 1: other than DeVante Adams to step up and make a

249
00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:47,920
Speaker 1: critical play down the stretch well this offseason. As one

250
00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:50,960
Speaker 1: of Aaron's requests, as he got back into the building

251
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:55,000
Speaker 1: and was reconciling with Packers management, he demanded something that

252
00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:57,280
Speaker 1: a lot of people scoffed out, a trade to bring

253
00:11:57,400 --> 00:12:00,040
Speaker 1: Randall Cobb back to Green Bay. Randall spoke about the

254
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:02,240
Speaker 1: trade yesterday. Here's what he said, quote, it gives you

255
00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:04,320
Speaker 1: all the confidence in the world. One of the best

256
00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:07,760
Speaker 1: players in the history of the world is asking for you,

257
00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:12,080
Speaker 1: says he needs you. I just try to prove him right.

258
00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:16,199
Speaker 1: So my brightest star is Randall Cobb. He's proven to

259
00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:18,800
Speaker 1: be the right move in some moments, scoring five touchdowns

260
00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:21,440
Speaker 1: in just twelve games. That's really impressive, including a proved

261
00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:23,679
Speaker 1: to be the game winner to knock off the undefeated

262
00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:26,760
Speaker 1: Cardinals on that Thursday night football game before landing i

263
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:29,520
Speaker 1: R with a core muscle injury in November. He was

264
00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:33,640
Speaker 1: activated yesterday. He will play for the first time in

265
00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:37,199
Speaker 1: almost two months. And let's be honest, this might not

266
00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:40,320
Speaker 1: be couldn't be at a better time. Marquez Valda's scant

267
00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:43,240
Speaker 1: Lane friend of the show is likely to miss Saturday's game.

268
00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:45,160
Speaker 1: Keep your eyes on I Rapp Report for all of that.

269
00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:48,480
Speaker 1: But is this not why a Cobb was brought into

270
00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:51,480
Speaker 1: the building to show you show that he can step

271
00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:54,439
Speaker 1: up on this playoff runs? What doesn't end the way

272
00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:56,080
Speaker 1: he did? And just like this, when you're looking at

273
00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:58,120
Speaker 1: this was back what we wanted to shake twenty sixteen.

274
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:01,120
Speaker 1: Twenty sixteen, three touchdown in that win over the Giants.

275
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:05,360
Speaker 1: He's got the experience, he's got the connection with his quarterback,

276
00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:07,319
Speaker 1: and he's going to be out there and they're down

277
00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:09,160
Speaker 1: a wide receiver and looks like a war goes the

278
00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:11,520
Speaker 1: hail Mary pass that he had against them before halftime.

279
00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:14,120
Speaker 1: This is why you bring him in right playoff experience

280
00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:17,240
Speaker 1: and if Valdes scantly came out all right. So there

281
00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:21,000
Speaker 1: are four quarterbacks in the AFC playoffs this weekend. I

282
00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:23,840
Speaker 1: know we have spent ninety nine percent of our show

283
00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:27,040
Speaker 1: talking about Burrow and Alan and Mahomes this week, but

284
00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:29,120
Speaker 1: I do think Ryan Tannehill plays a role. He is,

285
00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:31,000
Speaker 1: after all, the quarterback of the number one seed. I

286
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:32,880
Speaker 1: will put the sunglasses on and I'm going to go

287
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:36,080
Speaker 1: back in time a little bit. Ryan Tannehill played at

288
00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:38,959
Speaker 1: Texas A and M out of college. There's a wide receiver.

289
00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:42,079
Speaker 1: He then changed positions to quarterback. The GA at Texas

290
00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:43,920
Speaker 1: A M for the four years, and then the tight

291
00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:47,040
Speaker 1: ends coach was a guy named Zach Taylor. Zach Taylor's

292
00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:49,240
Speaker 1: father in law is Mike Sherman, who was the head

293
00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:51,920
Speaker 1: coach of Texas A and M. Zach Taylor was a

294
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:53,959
Speaker 1: young assistant a baby right out of college and was

295
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:56,959
Speaker 1: coaching Ryan Tannehill. Then Ryan Tannehill gets drafted by the

296
00:13:57,040 --> 00:14:00,400
Speaker 1: Miami Dolphins and for four years, one of the assistant

297
00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:03,680
Speaker 1: coaches on that staff was some young kid named Zach Taylor.

298
00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:08,839
Speaker 1: Eight years. Zach Taylor coached Ryan Tannehill eight years. That

299
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:11,360
Speaker 1: is a lifetime. That is a football lifetime, that is

300
00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:15,320
Speaker 1: an NFL lifetime, And now they are squaring off against

301
00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:19,160
Speaker 1: each other. Tannehill fourteen interceptions did not light up the

302
00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:21,400
Speaker 1: stat sheet. Doesn't maybe deserve to be in the conversation

303
00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:24,920
Speaker 1: with Burrow and with Mahomes and with Alan. But I

304
00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:28,520
Speaker 1: think on Saturday, whole nation watching Tannehill not only trying

305
00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:30,080
Speaker 1: to make a statement to the rest of the country,

306
00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:32,920
Speaker 1: but also to his former coach. Eight years he was

307
00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:35,920
Speaker 1: learning and listening to Zach Taylor. Now he's gonna have

308
00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:38,000
Speaker 1: to go and knock him out of the playoffs. Ryan Tannehill,

309
00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:39,880
Speaker 1: go have a day. Make us talk about you. On

310
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:42,160
Speaker 1: Monday as well, the Green Bay Packers had three first

311
00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:45,000
Speaker 1: team All pros, and Matt Lafleur came out to practice

312
00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:47,280
Speaker 1: and announced them to the team before they knew. And

313
00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:52,200
Speaker 1: it went like this, Aaron Rodgers, Davante Adams, and the

314
00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:55,800
Speaker 1: third one was Davandre Campbell. And to each player, they

315
00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:59,640
Speaker 1: went nuts, they had a party, they went ballistic. Davandre

316
00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:01,200
Speaker 1: camp Wait a second, they have a first team All

317
00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:03,240
Speaker 1: Pro middle linebacker. But I thought the Niners were just

318
00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:05,240
Speaker 1: gonna run right through them. They have no one to

319
00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:07,440
Speaker 1: resist them. It's gonna have to be this guy, a

320
00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:11,240
Speaker 1: first team All Pro, first time with the Packers, and

321
00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:14,560
Speaker 1: so much to celebrate in the GMFB world about this

322
00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:18,440
Speaker 1: guy is a juco guy. Hutchinson Community College in Kansas,

323
00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:21,000
Speaker 1: the only place that would offer him fourth round pick.

324
00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:24,120
Speaker 1: He wears number fifty nine because his mother, Katherine, was

325
00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:27,080
Speaker 1: born in nineteen fifty nine. He said in the summer,

326
00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:28,840
Speaker 1: I said it before, I'm gonna say it again. This

327
00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:33,000
Speaker 1: season is one hundred percent personal. His Twitter handle is

328
00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:36,360
Speaker 1: at came a long way like he has at all

329
00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:39,120
Speaker 1: going on and during the season. Devandre Campbell will have

330
00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:40,840
Speaker 1: to have the game of his life this weekend, says,

331
00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:43,800
Speaker 1: I've always kind of been the robin to somebody else's batman,

332
00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:46,400
Speaker 1: but now I'm actually having the opportunity to showcase my talent.

333
00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:49,320
Speaker 1: This is your Batman moment, my friend. And guess what

334
00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:51,840
Speaker 1: big number eighty five for the forty Niners. George Kittle

335
00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:55,360
Speaker 1: has tattooed all over his forearm a joker. So go

336
00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:57,520
Speaker 1: get it, dude, because you're gonna have to be that

337
00:15:57,640 --> 00:16:00,760
Speaker 1: new Robert Pattinson Batman, just crack and skulls in the streets.

338
00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:03,240
Speaker 1: It's gonna have to be dark and nasty. If you

339
00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:06,560
Speaker 1: are a first team All Pro line bracker, bring on us, check,

340

Speaker 1: bring on debot, bring them all on. You have to

00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:12,280
Speaker 1: be a star this weekend. First team All Pro de

342
00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:15,200
Speaker 1: Vandre Campbell, go get it, my bright star, Vandre Campbell

343
00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:17,520
Speaker 1: at you if we who did we miss on your team?

344
00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:19,600
Speaker 1: Who are not looking at and giving enough love to you?

345
00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:22,080
Speaker 1: Please let us know. We've got a big show coming up.

346
00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:24,960
Speaker 1: We will be making our picks. Oh my goodness, we'll

347
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:27,920
Speaker 1: talk a little packers. We've got some playoff predictions coming up.

348
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:31,520
Speaker 1: These picks are tough one do we can we just

349
00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:36,240
Speaker 1: enjoy really this round? I struggled last week. You're a

350
00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:56,720
Speaker 1: real well last week. Ye favorites. The picks are in,

351
00:16:56,840 --> 00:16:59,960
Speaker 1: we'll decide who we think we'll wing the divisional round matchup.

352
00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:01,960
Speaker 1: That all happen right here, right now on Good Morning

353
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:04,800
Speaker 1: Football Live in New York City, Friday, January twenty First

354
00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:08,119
Speaker 1: Peter Schreyer sipping some coffee. Kyle Brent, Super Bowl champion

355
00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:11,200
Speaker 1: Michael Robinson is here. Thank you for being here with

356
00:17:11,320 --> 00:17:14,760
Speaker 1: us all week always tremendous. As always tremendous. My name

357
00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:17,520
Speaker 1: is Kadams. That it's time four lead block, lead block.

358
00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:21,040
Speaker 1: We're sitting here one sleep away, so it's time to

359
00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:23,600
Speaker 1: make picks for the divisional round. We're going to do

360
00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:26,480
Speaker 1: this conference by conference. We're going to start in the

361
00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:30,680
Speaker 1: NFC AFC a little later. So it's the Niners coming

362
00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:34,040
Speaker 1: off that huge upset win against the Cowboys and now

363
00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:36,800
Speaker 1: they head to Lamb Boa to take on Aaron Rodgers

364
00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:42,000
Speaker 1: and the one seed Packers. Who survives and advances so

365
00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:45,159
Speaker 1: much at stake Niners Packers? We will go Kyle and

366
00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:49,119
Speaker 1: Rob Peter met how much at stake Niners Packers. I

367
00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:51,600
Speaker 1: agree with you on both. I think if the first

368
00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:53,200
Speaker 1: of all, I think if the Niners win the toss,

369
00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:55,280
Speaker 1: I think they should take the ball to start the game.

370
00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:57,680
Speaker 1: That breaks convention. Most teams don't do it. I think

371
00:17:57,720 --> 00:17:59,560
Speaker 1: you have to start with the ball because otherwise I

372
00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:01,480
Speaker 1: think you'll please start down seven nothing. You have to

373
00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:03,240
Speaker 1: establish what you're going to do right from the get go.

374
00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:07,160
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers has sworn this week that the Niners thing

375
00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:10,040
Speaker 1: is not a thing. It's not something. These are different teams,

376
00:18:10,359 --> 00:18:14,040
Speaker 1: I respectfully call bs on that completely. The Niners tattoo

377
00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:17,040
Speaker 1: on this person seems to keep following him through his

378
00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:19,320
Speaker 1: whole career, from where he grew up to the draft

379
00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:21,560
Speaker 1: to all these playoff losses. I think he is one

380
00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:23,600
Speaker 1: of the most motivated athletes we have in pro sports.

381
00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:25,359
Speaker 1: I think it is a thing. I think he wants

382
00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:28,439
Speaker 1: stupat them. I think the Fred Warner injury is going

383
00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:30,560
Speaker 1: to loom large. They say he's going to be out there,

384
00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:32,359
Speaker 1: I don't know if he's gonna be Fred Warner. And

385
00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:34,760
Speaker 1: some of these picks are harder than others. This was

386
00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:36,600
Speaker 1: not a difficult one for me. I think it is

387
00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:38,560
Speaker 1: the Packers at home, and I actually think it's the

388
00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:42,320
Speaker 1: Packers easy. This was tough for me because the forty

389
00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:45,640
Speaker 1: Nineers is such a physical team, and in the playoffs,

390
00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:47,679
Speaker 1: that's one thing you can count on. Man, you can

391
00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:50,159
Speaker 1: count on we know where the ball is going, but

392
00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:52,760
Speaker 1: we're just bigger, stronger than you, and that is nothing

393
00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:54,920
Speaker 1: you can do about it. So this was very tough

394
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:58,160
Speaker 1: for me. I go back to when Matt Lafleur first

395
00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:00,880
Speaker 1: got there, and I think it was the playoff year

396
00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:04,040
Speaker 1: that they just got beat by the Niners in the playoffs.

397
00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:07,720
Speaker 1: And they just got outmatched from a physical standpoint. And

398
00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:11,040
Speaker 1: I think over the last two years, Brian Guducus and

399
00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:13,399
Speaker 1: Matt Lafloor, they have built a physical team. I mean

400
00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:15,480
Speaker 1: they run the ball over one hundred yards. You just

401
00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:18,719
Speaker 1: talked about Devandre Campbell making the All Pro team. Very

402
00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:21,440
Speaker 1: physical points. I got the Packers winning this one as well.

403
00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:24,240
Speaker 1: I don't think it's a blowout. I do think it'll

404
00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:28,119
Speaker 1: be close. But Aaron Rodgers has a physical system that

405
00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:30,880
Speaker 1: he can operate in and that's scary for the rest

406
00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:32,800
Speaker 1: of the National Football League. And I don't think this

407
00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:36,480
Speaker 1: is Aaron rodgers last year there. Okay, I don't know

408
00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:39,359
Speaker 1: what news with this team. The Niners. I agree with

409
00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:41,959
Speaker 1: you are going to give absolute hell to the Packers,

410
00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:44,359
Speaker 1: give them everything they can handle, especially now that we

411
00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:47,680
Speaker 1: do know that Warner and Nikobosa are going to be

412
00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:51,080
Speaker 1: out there. That said, a couple big defensive plays I

413
00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:53,080
Speaker 1: think are on our way for this defense. And I

414
00:19:53,119 --> 00:19:55,159
Speaker 1: don't think Aaron Rodgers at home is going to go

415
00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:58,159
Speaker 1: Finally into the night. The injury Jimmy is going to

416
00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:00,879
Speaker 1: have to play through shoulder, hand whatever in that cold.

417
00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:03,720
Speaker 1: The Packers are getting healthy and they're the healthiest they've

418
00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:05,879
Speaker 1: been all season at the perfect time to do it.

419
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:10,120
Speaker 1: So I just can't see the Packers slipping away at home.

420
00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:12,639
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go Packers over Niners. And that was the

421
00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:15,240
Speaker 1: easiest pick of them. Will it be a clean sweep?

422
00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:18,120
Speaker 1: I will give my pick later on in the show,

423
00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:21,119
Speaker 1: and I am torn on this one, and I think

424
00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:24,920
Speaker 1: you all made really compelling points. Next night, I'm so

425
00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:27,840
Speaker 1: squarely about making all of these okay. Next step in

426
00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:31,120
Speaker 1: the NF three on Sunday, it's Matthew Stafford and Rams.

427
00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:34,360
Speaker 1: They're heading down to Tampa where the Tampa Bay Buccaneers

428
00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:36,960
Speaker 1: won the Super Bowl last year, and they're waiting for

429
00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:39,560
Speaker 1: them Kyle who comes out on top and ends up

430
00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:42,600
Speaker 1: in the NFC Championship game. It was pretty cool that

431
00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:45,080
Speaker 1: the Rams won last week, and I celebrated Matthew Stafford

432
00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:46,440
Speaker 1: went in a playoff game. And I say that with

433
00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:49,600
Speaker 1: no sarcasm whatsoever. I really do mean that Tom Brady

434
00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:54,200
Speaker 1: has won nine straight divisional round playoff games. There's something

435
00:20:54,280 --> 00:20:57,360
Speaker 1: about this time of year where he is psychologically, where

436
00:20:57,400 --> 00:20:59,960
Speaker 1: his body feels in this divisional round, where he doesn't lose.

437
00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:03,440
Speaker 1: The only quarterback in history to have more total playoff

438
00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:06,760
Speaker 1: wins than Brady has merely divisional round wins. Is Joe Montana.

439
00:21:07,119 --> 00:21:10,000
Speaker 1: That is how dominant he has been in this round.

440
00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:13,800
Speaker 1: It just doesn't happen. Respect to McVeigh, respect all the things,

441
00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:15,840
Speaker 1: and that the rams up going on. I think this

442
00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:18,359
Speaker 1: is Brady. I think this is Gronk. I think this

443
00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:21,760
Speaker 1: is Evans Brady, Brady, Brady, Brady Brady, and bring on

444
00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:24,200
Speaker 1: Rogers in the title game. I think it is the

445
00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:26,480
Speaker 1: Bucks in this game. I don't I don't know. This

446
00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:29,080
Speaker 1: is tough man, and I think this could change. But

447
00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:31,960
Speaker 1: Tom Brady can't throw the ball to himself. Okay, he

448
00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:35,080
Speaker 1: can't go out there and tackle. He can't block people

449
00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:38,359
Speaker 1: for himself. I think the Christian Worth's injury is a

450
00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:41,560
Speaker 1: big one. I think even if he's out there, it's

451
00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:44,000
Speaker 1: a huge injury that happened last week and it's going

452
00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:47,359
Speaker 1: to be tough for him to move around. Oh yeah, Jens,

453
00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:51,600
Speaker 1: I forgot about that. Thanks. That's the center and I

454
00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:57,080
Speaker 1: know that we put Tom Brady on this this pedestal, right.

455
00:21:57,240 --> 00:21:59,399
Speaker 1: I mean he's been great man, all the Super Bowls,

456
00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:01,159
Speaker 1: all the Super Bowls, parents is all of that, but

457
00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:03,320
Speaker 1: he does not do it without talent, and I think

458
00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:06,119
Speaker 1: in the first matchup of these two teams earlier in

459
00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:08,560
Speaker 1: the season, when he did have Chris Godwin, who was

460
00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:11,720
Speaker 1: his best offensive asset. I know he has Gronk, I

461
00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:14,200
Speaker 1: know he has Mike Evans, but Chris Godwin was always

462
00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:16,720
Speaker 1: available for him. He's not a He's no longer in

463
00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:19,040
Speaker 1: this game. So I do think the Tampa Bay Buccaneers

464
00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:22,800
Speaker 1: are less explosive. I got the Rams win. Wow. Yeah,

465
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:25,920
Speaker 1: I think Tom Brady makes an early exit. I think

466
00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:30,280
Speaker 1: we immediately start asking if he's gonna retire, and Tom

467
00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:33,000
Speaker 1: Brady's gonna get pissed off and he come back next year.

468
00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:36,840
Speaker 1: But yeah, this is it. Last year, I got on

469
00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:40,240
Speaker 1: that Bucks train around week fifteen and I was like, Wow,

470
00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:43,000
Speaker 1: they just beat the snot out of the Lions, and

471
00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:45,240
Speaker 1: wow they look at and it was one of those

472
00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:48,840
Speaker 1: things where it was a wave and it was momentum

473
00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:52,320
Speaker 1: and everyone was healthy and everyone was right. I think

474
00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:55,880
Speaker 1: to beat the Rams, Breshad Perriman needs to make a play.

475
00:22:56,240 --> 00:22:59,280
Speaker 1: I think Scotti Miller needs to make more than a play.

476
00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:03,040
Speaker 1: I think j Bernard needs to go for sixty yards

477
00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:05,480
Speaker 1: on the ground and we need to see some stud

478
00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:08,640
Speaker 1: play by cam Brad Tonio Brown's not there this year.

479
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:12,000
Speaker 1: Chris Godwin's not there this year. Worf's is coming in

480
00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:16,399
Speaker 1: hobbling Jensen, who is Brady's bodyguard. The Rams are not

481
00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:19,000
Speaker 1: scared of this team, and they've got Aaron Donald and

482
00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:23,119
Speaker 1: they've got von Miller, and they've got Leonard Floyd, and

483
00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:26,320
Speaker 1: they've got offensive weapons like Cooper Cup and Odell Beckham

484
00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:28,840
Speaker 1: that I don't think matchup well with that Tampa Bay

485
00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:31,879
Speaker 1: defensive backfield. I know the game's in Tampa. I know

486
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:34,439
Speaker 1: Brady's the greatest ever and this is nothing against him

487
00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:37,119
Speaker 1: or his legacy. I too, am taking the Los Angeles

488
00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:40,119
Speaker 1: Rams to go into the big Sombrero and come out

489
00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:42,160
Speaker 1: of there with a win. I think the Rams get

490
00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:44,680
Speaker 1: the w and I think McVeagh gets the best of

491
00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:49,400
Speaker 1: Bruce Arians. Hey good, do you protect a forty four

492
00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:52,840
Speaker 1: year old quarterback when those two offensive linemen that are

493
00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:55,560
Speaker 1: so huge might not be out there and it might

494
00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:57,080
Speaker 1: not be a one hundred percent when you have Aaron

495
00:23:57,160 --> 00:23:59,760
Speaker 1: Donald and Von Miller waiting for you on the other side,

496
00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:02,680
Speaker 1: and the buck secondary nothing to write home about, Like

497
00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:06,120
Speaker 1: Stafford could have a huge game, but I'm gonna pick

498
00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:09,200
Speaker 1: the Dampa my Buccaneers because I just switched this like

499
00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:11,320
Speaker 1: twenty seconds. I hope they get it right. It might stick,

500
00:24:11,359 --> 00:24:12,520
Speaker 1: pop up run. I don't know if they got it

501
00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:17,159
Speaker 1: right something. And Brady spoke at length, not uncharacteristically so,

502
00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:20,280
Speaker 1: but he was talking about playing at home yesterday and

503
00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:22,920
Speaker 1: how important that is, and he really went into it's

504
00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:25,119
Speaker 1: almost like calling your shot. He's like, no, it's huge

505
00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:27,920
Speaker 1: that we're here, that I'll be able to hear communication

506
00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:30,240
Speaker 1: and all of that, even just hearing strikes his motivation

507
00:24:30,320 --> 00:24:32,560
Speaker 1: there of like what this week is about and how

508
00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:34,800
Speaker 1: focused this team is. I'm not saying the Rams aren't.

509
00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:38,040
Speaker 1: I'm saying on the road, it's hard to pick Stafford

510
00:24:38,119 --> 00:24:40,200
Speaker 1: for me over at Tom Brady. It came down and

511
00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:44,320
Speaker 1: it's as simple as that. Even Rappaport, oh Man, rustful.

512
00:24:44,560 --> 00:24:46,760
Speaker 1: Let's check in on a couple of star players on

513
00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:50,520
Speaker 1: the NFC side of the bracket this weekend. Will Tom

514
00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:52,480
Speaker 1: Brady who are chose to win this game? Will we

515
00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:55,520
Speaker 1: have Leonard Fournette? Is Nick Bosa suiting up for the

516
00:24:55,680 --> 00:24:57,600
Speaker 1: nine Ers. They've got a big battle and he's super

517
00:24:57,680 --> 00:25:00,520
Speaker 1: important to sort of put pressure on Aaron Rodger a

518
00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:02,719
Speaker 1: little bit of optimism for those who are hanging out

519
00:25:02,760 --> 00:25:04,400
Speaker 1: in the middle of the ocean on a tiny boat

520
00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:07,840
Speaker 1: picking the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Leonard Fournette, who of course

521
00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:10,880
Speaker 1: became playoff Lenny last year and then eventually Lombardi Lenny,

522
00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:13,800
Speaker 1: having maybe the best stretch of his entire career. He

523
00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:16,359
Speaker 1: could actually be back this weekend. He was supposed to

524
00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:19,080
Speaker 1: be back last weekend dealing with the hamstring injury that

525
00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:22,159
Speaker 1: he incurred late late this season. But Bruce arians just

526
00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:24,520
Speaker 1: being a little cast just didn't seem quite get to

527
00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:27,720
Speaker 1: full speed, didn't really open it up. And for hamstring injuries,

528
00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:29,840
Speaker 1: if you're not able to open it up, then really

529
00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:32,280
Speaker 1: you aren't risk of reinjuring this thing over and over.

530
00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:35,280
Speaker 1: So we didn't play last week. Back at practice yesterday,

531
00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:37,080
Speaker 1: we'll see where the status is today. But if he

532
00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:39,600
Speaker 1: gets through the week okay, I would expect him to

533
00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:44,080
Speaker 1: be out there for Tampa. Meanwhile, similarly positive situation for

534
00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:47,360
Speaker 1: Nick Bosa and the San Francisco forty nine ers. Their

535
00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:50,120
Speaker 1: standout pass rusher did not finish the game last week

536
00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:53,119
Speaker 1: dealing with a concussion. After this hit right there, a

537
00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:55,960
Speaker 1: little friendly fire. Was not able to practice early in

538
00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:59,800
Speaker 1: the week, then was limited and was a full participant yesterday.

539
00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:02,160
Speaker 1: That is a very good sign that he is progressing

540
00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:06,000
Speaker 1: through the NFL's concussion protocol. Still Listen is questionable, but

541
00:26:06,119 --> 00:26:08,480
Speaker 1: if he clears from the independent neurologists today, could be

542
00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:10,840
Speaker 1: removed from the injury report. It should be good to

543
00:26:10,920 --> 00:26:13,480
Speaker 1: go this weekend. Okay, we're gonna flow over the AFC

544
00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:15,320
Speaker 1: side of things right now. The gating that kicks off

545
00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:17,200
Speaker 1: the divisional round is the Bengals. They're coming off the

546
00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:20,280
Speaker 1: first playoff wind since nineteen ninety one years ago, and

547
00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:23,120
Speaker 1: now they are in Nashville to take on the one seed,

548
00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:25,399
Speaker 1: the team with rust, the team that gets Derek Henry

549
00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:27,960
Speaker 1: back and Rob You're gonna kick us off here. You'll

550
00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:29,879
Speaker 1: be on Good Morning Football weekend tomorrow if you're on

551
00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:31,639
Speaker 1: an update or change your pick. Yeah, I do have

552
00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:35,200
Speaker 1: another shot. But this is hard, guys, because there's this bright,

553
00:26:35,320 --> 00:26:39,600
Speaker 1: new shiny objects all the Cincinnati Bengals, right, I mean,

554
00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:43,439
Speaker 1: they're awesome. Have a run game, right, they have Joe Burrow.

555
00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:46,480
Speaker 1: He's so cool. He wears glasses, right, you know, he

556
00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:48,800
Speaker 1: talks to the media, has kind of like a certain

557
00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:51,639
Speaker 1: attitude toward the media. Which I love right as confidence

558
00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:55,840
Speaker 1: the wide receiver Stee Higgins, Jamar Chase Tyler, boy Joe Mixing,

559
00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:58,400
Speaker 1: but something about him just won't let me pick him.

560
00:26:58,520 --> 00:27:00,440
Speaker 1: I have to pick the Tennessee Titans. And you know

561
00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:03,040
Speaker 1: how you convinced me a little bit earlier in the

562
00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:05,800
Speaker 1: show Man with how we need to start remembering the Titans.

563
00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:08,760
Speaker 1: They're gritty bunch. They beat you up at the line

564
00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:11,600
Speaker 1: of scrimmage on both sides of the football. Jeffrey Simmons,

565
00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:14,960
Speaker 1: I mean this year he has bawled out. I gotta

566
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:16,760
Speaker 1: pick the Titans in this one. I'm not so sure

567
00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:19,360
Speaker 1: what they're gonna do the following week, but yeah, I'm

568
00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:21,680
Speaker 1: gonna something. What is it? Do you have you figured

569
00:27:21,720 --> 00:27:23,720
Speaker 1: out what it is about the Bengals team that made

570
00:27:23,760 --> 00:27:26,240
Speaker 1: you not pick them. They remind me kind of of

571
00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:29,760
Speaker 1: my Seahawks team of twenty twelve. If the guys remember,

572
00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:33,000
Speaker 1: we were really freaking good. We were the new kind

573
00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:35,320
Speaker 1: of the new kids on the block, so to speaking, Washington,

574
00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:38,760
Speaker 1: Washington in the wild Car Round and if you guys remember,

575
00:27:38,840 --> 00:27:41,680
Speaker 1: we had averaged like forty five points the last three

576
00:27:41,760 --> 00:27:45,240
Speaker 1: games of the season, just screaming into the into the playoffs,

577
00:27:45,800 --> 00:27:49,320
Speaker 1: and we lost to Atlanta because one of our defensive backs,

578
00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:51,680
Speaker 1: you know, let something get behind them and they kicked

579
00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:53,880
Speaker 1: the field goal. One. We just were a year two early.

580
00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:57,640
Speaker 1: I'm afraid this may be sensible, that's fair. I think

581
00:27:57,640 --> 00:27:59,200
Speaker 1: it right. I picked the Titans earlier in the show.

582
00:27:59,320 --> 00:28:02,400
Speaker 1: I am in no way anti Cincinnati. I'm pro Tennessee

583
00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:05,280
Speaker 1: and I am pro teams that have already beaten the

584
00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:08,040
Speaker 1: Bills and the Chiefs and are playing at home unrest

585
00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:10,800
Speaker 1: have been there, are getting their workhorse back. It's an

586
00:28:10,800 --> 00:28:13,119
Speaker 1: amazing thing that they are. Even if and when they

587
00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:15,280
Speaker 1: win this game, it's already like, well, you're just lamps

588
00:28:15,320 --> 00:28:17,000
Speaker 1: to the slaughter to the Bills or Chiefs the real

589
00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:18,600
Speaker 1: title game, I don't know about that. And I think

590
00:28:18,640 --> 00:28:20,240
Speaker 1: the Titans are going to win this week. I actually

591
00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:21,840
Speaker 1: think it's not going to be that close. Yeah. I

592
00:28:22,119 --> 00:28:24,679
Speaker 1: look at this matchup and I think if you can

593
00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:28,119
Speaker 1: slow down Jamar Chase, you can beat the Cincinnati Bengals.

594
00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:31,560
Speaker 1: Question is can you slow down Jamar Chase And Mike

595
00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:34,840
Speaker 1: Varibel has had two weeks to prepare for this game,

596
00:28:35,040 --> 00:28:37,240
Speaker 1: and Mike Varibel can draw up a defense with the

597
00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:39,640
Speaker 1: best of them and I think Mike Varraibel is going

598
00:28:39,720 --> 00:28:41,760
Speaker 1: to be the key. I look at those guys you mentioned,

599
00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:45,400
Speaker 1: Jeffrey Simmons, it's also Denico Autry, it's also Bud Duprie,

600
00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:49,040
Speaker 1: It's also Harold Landry. I think the Tennessee front seven

601
00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:51,040
Speaker 1: is most underrated unit in all of football. And I

602
00:28:51,120 --> 00:28:54,480
Speaker 1: think Jeffrey Simmons, not Derrick Henry, not AJ Brown, not

603
00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:57,120
Speaker 1: Julio Jones. Jeffrey Simmons is going to be the household

604
00:28:57,240 --> 00:28:59,640
Speaker 1: name after Saturday. I think he wrecks shop. And I

605
00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:01,720
Speaker 1: love the Bengals. I love what they're doing. I love

606
00:29:01,840 --> 00:29:03,920
Speaker 1: Zach Taylor's young bunch. But like you, I feel like

607
00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:07,040
Speaker 1: this might not be the year. Next year is the year,

608
00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:08,920
Speaker 1: and then they are going to need this game to

609
00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:10,640
Speaker 1: maybe see what they've got to do next year to

610
00:29:10,680 --> 00:29:13,160
Speaker 1: conquer the AFC. I'm going Titans to defend their home

611
00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:15,520
Speaker 1: turn and beat the Cincinnati, but it makes I mean,

612
00:29:15,560 --> 00:29:18,520
Speaker 1: they're the one seed, they should be the overwhelming favorite

613
00:29:18,560 --> 00:29:21,640
Speaker 1: in this and I'm trying to think, like, yes, I obvious, well,

614
00:29:21,640 --> 00:29:24,000
Speaker 1: I obviously love the Bengals, but I didn't think that,

615
00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:26,200
Speaker 1: Like we sort of surprised me earlier when you said

616
00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:28,680
Speaker 1: most people are a lot of people are picking the

617
00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:31,560
Speaker 1: Bengals to upset the Titans. That's a little had GMF

618
00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:34,080
Speaker 1: researcher Riz Golberg look into it people in the media,

619
00:29:34,320 --> 00:29:37,560
Speaker 1: and there's a long list of people taking the Bengals

620
00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:39,720
Speaker 1: in this game. I think I would have picked I'm

621
00:29:39,720 --> 00:29:41,520
Speaker 1: going to pick the Bengals, but I would have picked

622
00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:44,840
Speaker 1: the Titans had Trey Hendrickson up and cleared from concussion protocol.

623
00:29:45,040 --> 00:29:46,960
Speaker 1: I think he's that important. I think it's going to

624
00:29:47,040 --> 00:29:49,320
Speaker 1: be so hard to stop the rushing attack with what

625
00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:52,640
Speaker 1: Tennessee does and Derrick Henry and Trey Hendrickson, it really

626
00:29:52,720 --> 00:29:55,880
Speaker 1: is a game breaker, game changing player if he's out there.

627
00:29:56,360 --> 00:29:59,200
Speaker 1: I'm picking the Bengals just because I don't think Joe

628
00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:02,040
Speaker 1: Borrow's going to ki if he has pressure or not pressure.

629
00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:04,360
Speaker 1: I don't know what motivates him. Maybe nothing. Does you

630
00:30:04,440 --> 00:30:06,800
Speaker 1: compare him to Dexter. If Burrow is just like he

631
00:30:06,880 --> 00:30:09,840
Speaker 1: usually is, they can absolutely win this game. And I think,

632
00:30:10,640 --> 00:30:13,080
Speaker 1: all right, all right, I am, I am all right

633
00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:15,600
Speaker 1: now the game to wrap up the divisional round in

634
00:30:15,720 --> 00:30:19,000
Speaker 1: primetime at Arrowhead, Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills take

635
00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:22,760
Speaker 1: on Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs, Mike rob Bills, Chiefs,

636
00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:26,240
Speaker 1: Who are you taking? Is this a question? I think

637
00:30:26,280 --> 00:30:28,280
Speaker 1: I made my pick a week ago. I think I

638
00:30:28,400 --> 00:30:31,520
Speaker 1: made my pick six months ago. It's the Bills for me, guys.

639
00:30:31,640 --> 00:30:33,880
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna give it, you know, intrigue. I'm not

640
00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:35,400
Speaker 1: going to try to lead up to what you guys

641
00:30:35,480 --> 00:30:37,560
Speaker 1: think my pick is. I think Josh Allen in this

642
00:30:37,720 --> 00:30:40,560
Speaker 1: playoffs right now, he's playing the best football of anybody

643
00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:44,280
Speaker 1: in that quarterback, anybody in the National Football League, And

644
00:30:44,280 --> 00:30:46,920
Speaker 1: I think this is his opportunity to show everybody that

645
00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:49,440
Speaker 1: he's the guy. Here's why I come out as for Buffalo.

646
00:30:49,600 --> 00:30:52,480
Speaker 1: I don't have a movie quote. I don't have a skit.

647
00:30:52,760 --> 00:30:55,360
Speaker 1: I don't have a motivational phrase. This is not about

648
00:30:55,440 --> 00:30:58,560
Speaker 1: mounting up. This is about looking back to January twenty four,

649
00:30:58,760 --> 00:31:02,480
Speaker 1: twenty one. Your season ended in the same stadium against

650
00:31:02,520 --> 00:31:05,000
Speaker 1: the same team, and your head coach, you're fearless leader,

651
00:31:05,120 --> 00:31:08,680
Speaker 1: the ultimate tough guy, talked about the pain it stays.

652
00:31:08,760 --> 00:31:11,160
Speaker 1: I mean to get this far, you know, sometimes it's

653
00:31:11,160 --> 00:31:13,240
Speaker 1: fully you go, the harder it is to lose. And

654
00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:15,160
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, this is our measurings to.

655
00:31:15,440 --> 00:31:18,200
Speaker 1: You know, if you lose an AFC championship game, that's

656
00:31:18,240 --> 00:31:20,080
Speaker 1: the team we gotta beat, though, and so we've got

657
00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:23,040
Speaker 1: to do everything with that in mind. This off season.

658
00:31:24,160 --> 00:31:26,920
Speaker 1: That was a year ago, and here they come, soaking

659
00:31:26,960 --> 00:31:29,960
Speaker 1: these images one last time. That's your superstar leaving the

660
00:31:30,040 --> 00:31:33,840
Speaker 1: field after losing. Every Bill's player sulking off the field

661
00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:37,280
Speaker 1: through the confetti, Spending every offseason workout thinking about this,

662
00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:40,400
Speaker 1: spending every in season meeting in a small place in

663
00:31:40,480 --> 00:31:42,560
Speaker 1: your mind, knowing that you had a date with Destiny

664
00:31:42,600 --> 00:31:46,120
Speaker 1: and Arrowhead Stadium, and here you are. It all plays

665
00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:48,280
Speaker 1: out like it's supposed to. Sometimes the football gods have

666
00:31:48,320 --> 00:31:51,160
Speaker 1: a sixth sense of humor, Patrick Mahomes, that's the picture

667
00:31:51,240 --> 00:31:53,040
Speaker 1: that you put up on the mirror while you're working

668
00:31:53,120 --> 00:31:54,600
Speaker 1: out in the off season, and you look at it

669
00:31:54,720 --> 00:31:56,920
Speaker 1: and eventually you just rip that thing down. Now you're

670
00:31:56,920 --> 00:31:59,160
Speaker 1: gonna have to go through hell worse than any nightmare

671
00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:01,640
Speaker 1: you've ever seen. But in the end, I know you'll

672
00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:05,880
Speaker 1: be the one standing. Buffalo thirty seven Kansas City thirty one.

673
00:32:06,280 --> 00:32:08,840
Speaker 1: That's my pick. The Bills win. But before we move on,

674
00:32:09,200 --> 00:32:12,120
Speaker 1: you wouldn't believe what happened here in the GYMFBN mail room.

675
00:32:12,760 --> 00:32:17,040
Speaker 1: Our friends at Anchor Bar came through with the hats.

676
00:32:17,400 --> 00:32:19,920
Speaker 1: They said, we were watching, we heard it, and Peter,

677
00:32:20,120 --> 00:32:22,520
Speaker 1: here's the hat you requested, So go ahead and put

678
00:32:22,560 --> 00:32:24,320
Speaker 1: that on and make your pick. To wear this hat

679
00:32:24,480 --> 00:32:27,600
Speaker 1: would mean I'm taking the Buffalo bills in this right. Okay,

680
00:32:28,200 --> 00:32:31,800
Speaker 1: get this out of my finger, Peter, how do you

681
00:32:31,920 --> 00:32:34,840
Speaker 1: think Patrick Mahomes has been watching our show and ESPN

682
00:32:35,040 --> 00:32:38,080
Speaker 1: and all these other networks this week as we crowned

683
00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:42,280
Speaker 1: Josh Allen as the new pride of the AFC, the

684
00:32:42,440 --> 00:32:45,520
Speaker 1: new young quarterback, the guy who is the king of

685
00:32:45,600 --> 00:32:48,240
Speaker 1: the Mountain. I think Patrick Mahomes is a little something

686
00:32:48,280 --> 00:32:50,120
Speaker 1: to him. And I also think the first time these

687
00:32:50,160 --> 00:32:53,720
Speaker 1: two teams played, Chris Jones was not on the field,

688
00:32:53,880 --> 00:32:56,760
Speaker 1: Willie Gay was barely on the Frank Clark was coming

689
00:32:56,800 --> 00:32:59,320
Speaker 1: off an injury. They didn't have Melvin Ingram, they didn't

690
00:32:59,320 --> 00:33:01,520
Speaker 1: have a lot of their eyes that are dominating on defense.

691
00:33:01,600 --> 00:33:04,240
Speaker 1: There's last few weeks it's gonna take everything. Would you say,

692
00:33:04,240 --> 00:33:06,080
Speaker 1: it's gonna be like it's gonna go through hell. You

693
00:33:06,120 --> 00:33:07,840
Speaker 1: have to go through hell. I don't think the Chiefs

694
00:33:07,880 --> 00:33:09,600
Speaker 1: are gonna give it to him. I think just one

695
00:33:09,680 --> 00:33:12,400
Speaker 1: more year, one more stand, and a little bit of

696
00:33:12,480 --> 00:33:14,800
Speaker 1: disrespect come in Kansas City's way. This week on the

697
00:33:14,880 --> 00:33:18,160
Speaker 1: national media outlets will all play a role. I love Buffalo,

698
00:33:18,760 --> 00:33:21,440
Speaker 1: I love that anchor bar I'm sorry, I've been rolling

699
00:33:21,480 --> 00:33:23,360
Speaker 1: with him all season. But when it comes to this

700
00:33:23,480 --> 00:33:26,360
Speaker 1: matchup in Arrowhead, gosh, if you had just beat in Jacksonville,

701
00:33:26,360 --> 00:33:27,840
Speaker 1: it might be in Buffalo and this thing might go.

702
00:33:28,600 --> 00:33:30,600
Speaker 1: And that's where that's where. That's where I come in

703
00:33:30,640 --> 00:33:32,960
Speaker 1: because this is such an even matchup. You've got too

704
00:33:33,120 --> 00:33:37,880
Speaker 1: superhi taking back Sorry the Kansas Sorry City, and so

705
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:39,479
Speaker 1: am I. You guys can just keep it going here

706
00:33:39,480 --> 00:33:40,880
Speaker 1: and I'll just add quickly because we got to get

707
00:33:40,880 --> 00:33:42,440
Speaker 1: out of here. We've gone way too long this hour.

708
00:33:42,560 --> 00:33:44,280
Speaker 1: I will go Chiefs because when it's so even, you

709
00:33:44,400 --> 00:33:46,440
Speaker 1: gotta go with Arrowhead and where it's played. If it

710
00:33:46,520 --> 00:33:49,520
Speaker 1: was in Buffalo, I would pick Buffalo. Mape Rolson's up next.

711
00:33:49,720 --> 00:33:56,240
Speaker 1: He's gonna be Pips. It was like a Sunday Sunday

712
00:33:56,320 --> 00:33:59,640
Speaker 1: thing for him or Saturday. We'll see. We'll see tomorrow.

713
00:34:00,840 --> 00:34:13,359
Speaker 1: Maybe got the Titans Bankers game. It's Friday as oh

714
00:34:13,440 --> 00:34:15,560
Speaker 1: way is we welcome in our good friend Nate Burlison.

715
00:34:15,680 --> 00:34:17,920
Speaker 1: He is back. I'm sure we'll see you at the

716
00:34:17,960 --> 00:34:20,239
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. Nate. How are you? I'm good. How are

717
00:34:20,280 --> 00:34:23,759
Speaker 1: you guys doing this weekend? Patrick Mahomes, Josh Allen. A

718
00:34:23,800 --> 00:34:26,720
Speaker 1: lot of momentum building towards Josh Allen and the Bills

719
00:34:26,760 --> 00:34:29,200
Speaker 1: pulling off the upset Triggs and I picked the Chiefs.

720
00:34:29,400 --> 00:34:32,000
Speaker 1: What impressed you most about Allen and how do you

721
00:34:32,040 --> 00:34:34,320
Speaker 1: think he's grown over the past year. It's his composure,

722
00:34:34,520 --> 00:34:36,520
Speaker 1: composure on and off the field. We know he's a

723
00:34:36,560 --> 00:34:39,360
Speaker 1: true leader when he talks, when he walks, guys follow,

724
00:34:39,920 --> 00:34:42,000
Speaker 1: But it's his composure in the pocket that is the

725
00:34:42,080 --> 00:34:45,680
Speaker 1: most impressive thing. You know, Kyle would joke around when

726
00:34:45,719 --> 00:34:48,600
Speaker 1: it comes to Josh Allen and how he would get

727
00:34:48,640 --> 00:34:51,520
Speaker 1: out of control sometimes and call him sugar hide Josh Allen.

728
00:34:52,080 --> 00:34:54,680
Speaker 1: He doesn't do that anymore. He doesn't lose himself in

729
00:34:54,719 --> 00:34:58,080
Speaker 1: the moment. But then also outside of the pocket, it's

730
00:34:58,120 --> 00:35:01,000
Speaker 1: his ability to throw on the run and a match

731
00:35:01,400 --> 00:35:03,239
Speaker 1: of two of the best in the game truly that

732
00:35:03,360 --> 00:35:06,440
Speaker 1: I'm talking statistically, You've got Patrick Mahomes and Josh Shallon

733
00:35:06,480 --> 00:35:08,239
Speaker 1: when they get outside the pocket. They are the most

734
00:35:08,320 --> 00:35:10,919
Speaker 1: dangerous quarterbacks. Now, I'm not just talking about them using

735
00:35:10,960 --> 00:35:12,840
Speaker 1: their legs like we're seeing with Josh Shallon. I'm just

736
00:35:12,840 --> 00:35:15,120
Speaker 1: talking about his ability to lead the pocket, extend to

737
00:35:15,120 --> 00:35:17,520
Speaker 1: play a long ago wide receiver, to run not one,

738
00:35:17,880 --> 00:35:20,560
Speaker 1: not two, but sometimes three different routes in the play.

739
00:35:21,160 --> 00:35:23,120
Speaker 1: And that's why I think that he has made this

740
00:35:23,239 --> 00:35:25,400
Speaker 1: evolution into the space where we could talk about him

741
00:35:25,440 --> 00:35:29,200
Speaker 1: as a potential MVP. Every single season Nate Chiefs Bills.

742
00:35:29,320 --> 00:35:31,640
Speaker 1: The game is on CBS. It's something. It's going to

743
00:35:31,680 --> 00:35:34,480
Speaker 1: be the most watched game of maybe the year. You're

744
00:35:34,520 --> 00:35:37,080
Speaker 1: gonna be in studio over there with Phil and Boomer

745
00:35:37,120 --> 00:35:40,160
Speaker 1: and JB. I think everyone always wonders, what's the setup

746
00:35:40,200 --> 00:35:42,239
Speaker 1: there when you're watching a game of that magnitude. Can

747
00:35:42,239 --> 00:35:43,960
Speaker 1: you actually focus on the game or is there too

748
00:35:44,080 --> 00:35:46,520
Speaker 1: much going on? That's a good question. The setup is

749
00:35:46,760 --> 00:35:49,439
Speaker 1: us all sitting together. It's like we're in this locker

750
00:35:49,560 --> 00:35:51,560
Speaker 1: room and it's just us, even though there's other people

751
00:35:51,680 --> 00:35:53,560
Speaker 1: on the set. And we watched this game on a

752
00:35:53,960 --> 00:35:57,440
Speaker 1: large screen almost close to movie size, and then we

753
00:35:57,560 --> 00:35:59,960
Speaker 1: sit back and we just talk and watch the game.

754
00:36:00,280 --> 00:36:02,360
Speaker 1: And that's the best thing about sitting there with Boom

755
00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:04,759
Speaker 1: and Field and coach and jab is that we can

756
00:36:04,840 --> 00:36:07,759
Speaker 1: have these conversations about the game as it's going on.

757
00:36:07,960 --> 00:36:10,680
Speaker 1: But it's amazing, though. I gotta shout out CBS because

758
00:36:10,760 --> 00:36:12,320
Speaker 1: on the set we can watch the game and I

759
00:36:12,360 --> 00:36:14,879
Speaker 1: have people running around bringing me food. Life is good

760
00:36:15,080 --> 00:36:19,359
Speaker 1: on Sundays and Saturdays. This weekend, Derek Henry makes his return. Oh,

761
00:36:19,440 --> 00:36:22,000
Speaker 1: he probably will make his return after suffering that broken

762
00:36:22,040 --> 00:36:24,520
Speaker 1: foot back in week eight. If he's out there, like,

763
00:36:24,719 --> 00:36:27,200
Speaker 1: what should we expect from him? Should we expect him

764
00:36:27,200 --> 00:36:29,320
Speaker 1: to pick up right where he left off or should

765
00:36:29,360 --> 00:36:32,959
Speaker 1: tighten fans kind of tempered their expectations. No, we should

766
00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:35,919
Speaker 1: expect him to be explosive. We saw cam Akers show

767
00:36:36,040 --> 00:36:38,239
Speaker 1: up on the field after being out for quite some time.

768
00:36:38,480 --> 00:36:42,080
Speaker 1: He's looking more explosive as he plays more games, of course,

769
00:36:42,120 --> 00:36:44,239
Speaker 1: but Dereck Henry is going to be the king, or

770
00:36:44,320 --> 00:36:46,320
Speaker 1: maybe he will be the King of distraction. What do

771
00:36:46,400 --> 00:36:48,120
Speaker 1: I mean by that? You'll get two versions of him.

772
00:36:48,320 --> 00:36:52,040
Speaker 1: You'll either see Dereck Henry strong, refreshed, running through tackles.

773
00:36:52,400 --> 00:36:55,440
Speaker 1: I'm reminding us who he was before he was banged up,

774
00:36:55,680 --> 00:36:58,719
Speaker 1: leading the NFL and all statistical categories for a running back,

775
00:36:59,440 --> 00:37:02,520
Speaker 1: or he'll be the King of distraction. We're talking play

776
00:37:02,560 --> 00:37:05,719
Speaker 1: action football, you know, Ryan Tannehill putting that ball right

777
00:37:05,760 --> 00:37:07,239
Speaker 1: in the middle of his stun, they pulling it out,

778
00:37:07,280 --> 00:37:10,799
Speaker 1: and that that linebacking cord, even those those dbs, those

779
00:37:10,920 --> 00:37:14,640
Speaker 1: safeties and cornerbacks peeking into the backfield. Ryan Tannahill picking

780
00:37:14,719 --> 00:37:16,800
Speaker 1: that ball up and then delivering the ball to his

781
00:37:16,920 --> 00:37:19,360
Speaker 1: white outs. So for me, it's either the king we

782
00:37:19,440 --> 00:37:20,920
Speaker 1: will see, the guy that we're used to, or the

783
00:37:21,040 --> 00:37:23,319
Speaker 1: King of distraction him being on the field. And Mike

784
00:37:23,400 --> 00:37:24,920
Speaker 1: you know this, Yeah, I mean you're a running back.

785
00:37:25,040 --> 00:37:27,439
Speaker 1: Sometimes you're best running back. Being on the field, even

786
00:37:27,480 --> 00:37:29,640
Speaker 1: if he's banged up, is a good enough decoy to

787
00:37:29,719 --> 00:37:32,799
Speaker 1: distract the defense long enough to feed other guys. Now, Nate,

788
00:37:32,920 --> 00:37:34,800
Speaker 1: before we let you go, I just got to know

789
00:37:35,360 --> 00:37:37,960
Speaker 1: a player that you're most excited to see take the

790
00:37:38,040 --> 00:37:42,760
Speaker 1: field this weekend. How about Debo de Bo? Yeah, Debo's

791
00:37:42,800 --> 00:37:46,480
Speaker 1: coming and he is out here snatching chains and bikes,

792
00:37:46,760 --> 00:37:49,719
Speaker 1: a straight up bully like Debo from Friday, and he

793
00:37:49,800 --> 00:37:53,000
Speaker 1: can do it all. Wide receiver I guess by title,

794
00:37:53,239 --> 00:37:56,160
Speaker 1: but really he's a running back. There's two guys in

795
00:37:56,239 --> 00:37:58,480
Speaker 1: this league that we have to give much more credit to.

796
00:37:58,560 --> 00:38:01,040
Speaker 1: That's Deebo Samuel, coldor Patterson. We'll talk about the critical

797
00:38:01,120 --> 00:38:03,719
Speaker 1: Patterson a little bit later. But Deebo Samuel is a

798
00:38:03,800 --> 00:38:05,960
Speaker 1: dude that when he lines up, this isn't a decord.

799
00:38:06,200 --> 00:38:08,480
Speaker 1: When he ends up in the backfield usually, let me

800
00:38:08,520 --> 00:38:10,920
Speaker 1: tell you, from a wide receiver for perspective, they put

801
00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:12,800
Speaker 1: me in the backfield, I know that there might be

802
00:38:12,920 --> 00:38:16,000
Speaker 1: some type of trick play. I might be a glorified decord.

803
00:38:16,200 --> 00:38:19,320
Speaker 1: I mean even the defense know's like, hey, thirteens in

804
00:38:19,400 --> 00:38:21,640
Speaker 1: the back, thirteens in the back. They're worried about me,

805
00:38:21,880 --> 00:38:25,040
Speaker 1: But not really. When Debo's in the backfield, they look

806
00:38:25,040 --> 00:38:26,960
Speaker 1: at him as a running back. He is not a

807
00:38:27,040 --> 00:38:29,480
Speaker 1: wide receiver anymore. So for me, I'm looking forward to

808
00:38:29,520 --> 00:38:30,960
Speaker 1: seeing what he can do because they're gonna need him

809
00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:32,880
Speaker 1: to step up. I mean, especially out there. If you

810
00:38:32,920 --> 00:38:35,439
Speaker 1: can control the ground with Deebo Samuel and keep Aaron

811
00:38:35,520 --> 00:38:37,520
Speaker 1: Rodgers off the field, the San Francisco forty nine as

812
00:38:37,520 --> 00:38:39,239
Speaker 1: well have a shot of doing what they did a

813
00:38:39,320 --> 00:38:41,319
Speaker 1: couple of years ago, which was beaten up on those

814
00:38:41,360 --> 00:38:45,000
Speaker 1: packers can get more of that analysis from Nate Burrelson

815
00:38:45,120 --> 00:38:48,160
Speaker 1: covering the AFC Divisional Packer playoffs all week and long.

816
00:38:48,280 --> 00:38:52,040
Speaker 1: Cincinnati at Tennessee that one on CBS. Also Buffalo at
