15
00:00:48,988 --> 00:00:53,188
Speaker 3: Rap sheets coaches, let go yesterday injuries to cover this

16
00:00:53,268 --> 00:00:55,468
Speaker 3: morning ahead of the playoffs. Where do you take us first?

17
00:00:55,508 --> 00:00:56,948
Speaker 3: Ahead of Super wild Card weekend?

18
00:00:57,348 --> 00:00:59,348
Speaker 6: We will start with the football on the field of

19
00:00:59,388 --> 00:01:02,508
Speaker 6: though TJ. Watt, the star pass rush of potential defensive

20
00:01:02,508 --> 00:01:05,148
Speaker 6: player of the Year for the Pittsburgh Steelers is not

21
00:01:05,268 --> 00:01:07,708
Speaker 6: going to be on the field. Mike Tomlin making that

22
00:01:07,788 --> 00:01:10,428
Speaker 6: official yesterday saying Watt has been ruled out for their

23
00:01:10,468 --> 00:01:13,028
Speaker 6: big time game against the Buffalo Bills.

24
00:01:13,388 --> 00:01:15,108
Speaker 7: This week and it is a grade two.

25
00:01:15,348 --> 00:01:18,388
Speaker 6: MCLs frains actually better than they initially thought. They thought

26
00:01:18,428 --> 00:01:22,588
Speaker 6: grade three based on the first examination, MRI revealed grade two.

27
00:01:22,668 --> 00:01:24,268
Speaker 7: That's still a several week injury.

28
00:01:25,028 --> 00:01:28,388
Speaker 6: Understanding is the best case scenario absolute best case scenario

29
00:01:28,668 --> 00:01:31,548
Speaker 6: for TJ. Watt is two weeks and then put a

30
00:01:31,548 --> 00:01:33,388
Speaker 6: brace on it, so he is not going to be

31
00:01:33,428 --> 00:01:36,148
Speaker 6: on the field at least this week, likely next week,

32
00:01:36,188 --> 00:01:39,068
Speaker 6: and then we will see if the Steelers and Mason

33
00:01:39,148 --> 00:01:42,308
Speaker 6: Rudolph their starting quarterback advance. Meanwhile, you mentioned it right

34
00:01:42,308 --> 00:01:45,588
Speaker 6: off the top, we did have another coach move yesterday.

35
00:01:45,668 --> 00:01:48,428
Speaker 7: Mike Frabel is out as head coach of.

36
00:01:48,308 --> 00:01:50,868
Speaker 6: The Tennessee Titans, and I would say, based on the

37
00:01:50,868 --> 00:01:54,188
Speaker 6: way this was going the last couple weeks, not totally

38
00:01:54,228 --> 00:01:56,788
Speaker 6: a surprise. And Ran kart Thun, the general manager, came

39
00:01:56,828 --> 00:01:59,548
Speaker 6: out yesterday and talked about how good the relationship had

40
00:01:59,588 --> 00:02:02,788
Speaker 6: been between him and Mike Frabel. My understanding is that

41
00:02:02,908 --> 00:02:05,388
Speaker 6: is true. This was a decision made by Amy Adams

42
00:02:05,468 --> 00:02:08,068
Speaker 6: trunk one that she has been mowing for the last

43
00:02:08,108 --> 00:02:10,108
Speaker 6: several weeks. I would say maybe the last several months.

44
00:02:10,108 --> 00:02:13,348
Speaker 6: Ever since Mike Frabel went to New England took part

45
00:02:13,388 --> 00:02:15,268
Speaker 6: in the Hall of Fame day, and all the rumors

46
00:02:15,308 --> 00:02:18,468
Speaker 6: started floating about whether or not Mike Rabel would be

47
00:02:18,988 --> 00:02:21,388
Speaker 6: the Patriots coach next year, whether he'd be the Titans coach.

48
00:02:21,428 --> 00:02:23,668
Speaker 6: He never really addressed that internally. I know that didn't

49
00:02:23,908 --> 00:02:26,188
Speaker 6: sid great with the people there. He went into a

50
00:02:26,188 --> 00:02:29,868
Speaker 6: meeting yesterday with the owner. It was not a long meeting,

51
00:02:30,108 --> 00:02:32,308
Speaker 6: and he was presented with a couple different things.

52
00:02:32,508 --> 00:02:34,468
Speaker 7: Did not sound like he was into it. And he

53
00:02:34,588 --> 00:02:37,028
Speaker 7: is now out a six head coach opening.

54
00:02:37,028 --> 00:02:39,348
Speaker 6: And I think it's fair to say if the coach

55
00:02:39,868 --> 00:02:42,668
Speaker 6: job opens in New England currently held by Hall of

56
00:02:42,668 --> 00:02:45,468
Speaker 6: Fame coach Bill Belichick, Mike Frable would certainly be a

57
00:02:45,508 --> 00:02:46,148
Speaker 6: name to watch.

58
00:02:46,828 --> 00:02:47,028
Speaker 8: Well.

59
00:02:47,068 --> 00:02:49,908
Speaker 3: Sure, he was a Super Bowl champion with the Patriots.

60
00:02:49,988 --> 00:02:52,388
Speaker 3: He was inducted into their Ring of Honor this season.

61
00:02:52,508 --> 00:02:54,748
Speaker 3: He was sitting next to the Craft family during that

62
00:02:54,788 --> 00:02:56,908
Speaker 3: game during the bye week for the Titans, which was

63
00:02:56,948 --> 00:02:59,148
Speaker 3: odd imagery and it's one we should circle back to.

64
00:02:59,508 --> 00:03:01,988
Speaker 3: They noticed, rahps sheeet, thank you so much. All of

65
00:03:02,028 --> 00:03:04,748
Speaker 3: these things to consider. After Mike Rabel spent the last

66
00:03:04,948 --> 00:03:08,668
Speaker 3: half a dozen years in Tennessee, was not unsuccessful in

67
00:03:08,708 --> 00:03:10,628
Speaker 3: fact twenty twenty twenty, he was the AP Coach of

68
00:03:10,668 --> 00:03:13,508
Speaker 3: the Year in the NFL. Peter so Mike Raebel and

69
00:03:13,588 --> 00:03:16,988
Speaker 3: the Titans decide that the relationship no longer fruitful.

70
00:03:17,308 --> 00:03:20,028
Speaker 4: You know, I was watching The Quarterback, you know, the

71
00:03:20,068 --> 00:03:22,508
Speaker 4: Netflix series is on and Mahomes is on the watching

72
00:03:22,628 --> 00:03:25,508
Speaker 4: yesterday and Mahomes is on there, and it just so happened.

73
00:03:25,548 --> 00:03:27,828
Speaker 4: He's talking about Mike Vrabel and he's like, Mike Rabel

74
00:03:27,908 --> 00:03:29,148
Speaker 4: is one of the best coaches in the league. It's

75
00:03:29,148 --> 00:03:31,428
Speaker 4: like we're playing the two thousand Patriots every time we

76
00:03:31,468 --> 00:03:32,508
Speaker 4: play against these Titans.

77
00:03:32,508 --> 00:03:33,748
Speaker 9: And if you remember, this is two.

78
00:03:33,628 --> 00:03:37,068
Speaker 4: Years ago, Malik Willis and the Titans went into Arrowhead

79
00:03:37,068 --> 00:03:39,468
Speaker 4: on a Sunday night and almost gave the Chiefs all

80
00:03:39,508 --> 00:03:41,628
Speaker 4: they could handle until the very end, losing in overtime.

81
00:03:41,748 --> 00:03:43,948
Speaker 4: And that's the backdrop of me getting the news. Obviously

82
00:03:44,028 --> 00:03:46,548
Speaker 4: this went down now, some people were shocked online. If

83
00:03:46,628 --> 00:03:49,148
Speaker 4: you kind of know, and Ian knows, this was kind

84
00:03:49,148 --> 00:03:51,668
Speaker 4: of headed this way down the stretch here, and there's

85
00:03:51,668 --> 00:03:53,948
Speaker 4: a possibility to start hearing rumors and even Ian and

86
00:03:53,988 --> 00:03:56,468
Speaker 4: Tom were saying on Monday, on you know the day

87
00:03:56,468 --> 00:03:58,668
Speaker 4: where everyone's getting fired, like something to watch is Tennessee,

88
00:03:58,668 --> 00:04:03,228
Speaker 4: but Tennessee, Yes, Tennessee. Vrabel is a coach with a

89
00:04:03,348 --> 00:04:05,428
Speaker 4: vision and a coach of the vision that would permeate

90
00:04:05,468 --> 00:04:10,748
Speaker 4: throughout the entire organization. And he learned that from Bill Belichick,

91
00:04:10,788 --> 00:04:13,588
Speaker 4: who he was an assistant under or played under Urban Meyer,

92
00:04:13,628 --> 00:04:16,268
Speaker 4: who he was an assistant under Bill O'Brien, who he

93
00:04:16,308 --> 00:04:17,268
Speaker 4: was an assistant under.

94
00:04:17,708 --> 00:04:19,548
Speaker 9: That the head coach is kind of the head.

95
00:04:19,388 --> 00:04:20,828
Speaker 4: Of the snake, and it hey, it's my way, and

96
00:04:20,828 --> 00:04:23,108
Speaker 4: then everyone else is going to feed off that obviously

97
00:04:23,108 --> 00:04:24,708
Speaker 4: had a falling out with John Robinson.

98
00:04:24,748 --> 00:04:26,148
Speaker 9: The old GM did not.

99
00:04:26,188 --> 00:04:28,548
Speaker 4: From what I gather, have an incredibly loud voice in

100
00:04:28,588 --> 00:04:31,348
Speaker 4: the hiring of Rand Carthon the new GM, that was

101
00:04:31,388 --> 00:04:32,348
Speaker 4: kind of fly by night.

102
00:04:32,388 --> 00:04:33,548
Speaker 9: Let's see how this thing goes.

103
00:04:33,908 --> 00:04:36,068
Speaker 4: Amy Adams Strunk came out yesterday and said she had

104
00:04:36,068 --> 00:04:38,508
Speaker 4: a vision for her front office. She addressed that last year,

105
00:04:38,588 --> 00:04:40,068
Speaker 4: and she wanted to see if she can have a

106
00:04:40,108 --> 00:04:41,708
Speaker 4: new vision for the coaching staff that she's going to

107
00:04:41,708 --> 00:04:42,228
Speaker 4: address this here.

108
00:04:42,268 --> 00:04:43,428
Speaker 9: What was interesting is that they.

109
00:04:43,388 --> 00:04:45,668
Speaker 4: Didn't trade Verbel, They didn't hold onto Rabel like they

110
00:04:45,668 --> 00:04:47,628
Speaker 4: did with New Orleans and Sean Payton and say, can

111
00:04:47,668 --> 00:04:49,228
Speaker 4: we get some picks which just like get out of town,

112
00:04:49,348 --> 00:04:51,068
Speaker 4: we will just start now. We'd rather have a fresh

113
00:04:51,188 --> 00:04:53,988
Speaker 4: vision and get that out of the building. Meanwhile, I

114
00:04:53,988 --> 00:04:55,948
Speaker 4: think on the surface, everyone else on the outside look

115
00:04:55,948 --> 00:04:56,108
Speaker 4: at it.

116
00:04:56,108 --> 00:04:57,788
Speaker 9: It's like Vrabel's Coach of Theyear a couple of years ago,

117
00:04:57,948 --> 00:04:58,468
Speaker 9: got took.

118
00:04:58,268 --> 00:05:00,228
Speaker 4: His team to the AFC Championship game with Ryan Tannehill

119
00:05:00,228 --> 00:05:00,748
Speaker 4: at quarterback.

120
00:05:00,868 --> 00:05:01,588
Speaker 9: This guy's awesome.

121
00:05:01,788 --> 00:05:03,708
Speaker 4: So we'll see what the market is for Frabel. He

122
00:05:03,748 --> 00:05:06,388
Speaker 4: is a pure agent right now. Anybody can hire him.

123
00:05:06,788 --> 00:05:09,828
Speaker 4: But I think his time in Tennessee ends as they're

124
00:05:09,828 --> 00:05:11,628
Speaker 4: trying to flip the page and maybe have I don't

125
00:05:11,668 --> 00:05:13,828
Speaker 4: want to say, a kinder, softer vision, but a different

126
00:05:13,908 --> 00:05:16,468
Speaker 4: vision than what Raybol had going on the last few years.

127
00:05:16,668 --> 00:05:18,308
Speaker 4: And I think he's okay to leave and we'll see

128
00:05:18,308 --> 00:05:19,668
Speaker 4: what happens next for him.

129
00:05:19,748 --> 00:05:21,228
Speaker 9: He won't be unemployed.

130
00:05:20,748 --> 00:05:23,548
Speaker 10: Along very interesting even when you talk about the trade

131
00:05:23,588 --> 00:05:26,228
Speaker 10: of a head coach, because I listen to Amy Adams

132
00:05:26,228 --> 00:05:28,228
Speaker 10: sit down with Mike Keith and she talked about and

133
00:05:28,268 --> 00:05:31,228
Speaker 10: sold it Ran Carthon of just all the logistics that

134
00:05:31,308 --> 00:05:33,428
Speaker 10: have to happen. Another team would have to satisfy the

135
00:05:33,508 --> 00:05:36,708
Speaker 10: Rooney rule, go through that interview process, all while Tennessee

136
00:05:36,708 --> 00:05:39,228
Speaker 10: would still be sitting there with Rabel as their coach

137
00:05:39,268 --> 00:05:41,828
Speaker 10: if they've already decided to move on. So they felt

138
00:05:41,828 --> 00:05:43,788
Speaker 10: like it was too complicated and they didn't want to

139
00:05:43,828 --> 00:05:47,028
Speaker 10: miss out on candidates that possibly would be available throughout

140
00:05:47,028 --> 00:05:47,708
Speaker 10: this process.

141
00:05:47,948 --> 00:05:48,588
Speaker 11: Straighter're right.

142
00:05:48,628 --> 00:05:51,508
Speaker 10: You look at Rabel six seasons, four playoff appearances. You said,

143
00:05:51,508 --> 00:05:54,148
Speaker 10: an AFC championship game. He's been pretty successful other than

144
00:05:54,188 --> 00:05:56,348
Speaker 10: these last two seasons. The one thing I will say

145
00:05:56,428 --> 00:05:59,428
Speaker 10: is spending eight years in that building. Different own the

146
00:05:59,428 --> 00:06:01,628
Speaker 10: Adams family always owned, but then Tommy it was a

147
00:06:01,708 --> 00:06:04,188
Speaker 10: lot of different things going on. Since Amy Adams shrunk

148
00:06:04,268 --> 00:06:06,868
Speaker 10: is taken over, You've seen improvements on the building. You've

149
00:06:06,868 --> 00:06:10,548
Speaker 10: seen a desire to win and put a championship level

150
00:06:10,628 --> 00:06:12,988
Speaker 10: team together. So, if you're a Titans fan, you're watching

151
00:06:12,988 --> 00:06:15,228
Speaker 10: this and you're like, but we love Raves, The players

152
00:06:15,268 --> 00:06:15,908
Speaker 10: love Raves.

153
00:06:16,668 --> 00:06:18,268
Speaker 11: Everybody did, and he had success.

154
00:06:18,308 --> 00:06:20,428
Speaker 10: But there had to be something that she saw of

155
00:06:20,468 --> 00:06:22,988
Speaker 10: a different vision moving forward that she thinks can get

156
00:06:23,028 --> 00:06:25,668
Speaker 10: this organization to a championship level.

157
00:06:25,908 --> 00:06:26,468
Speaker 8: I'm not going to.

158
00:06:26,508 --> 00:06:29,028
Speaker 10: Doubt her right now because everything she's done, she's been

159
00:06:29,068 --> 00:06:31,428
Speaker 10: there and been the controlling owner has been to improve

160
00:06:31,468 --> 00:06:33,748
Speaker 10: this team and improve this franchise from where it was

161
00:06:33,828 --> 00:06:35,028
Speaker 10: during the time that I was there.

162
00:06:35,108 --> 00:06:36,948
Speaker 5: If you're a Titans fan right now, you gotta be

163
00:06:36,948 --> 00:06:38,468
Speaker 5: scratching your head right now. You're like, well, what has

164
00:06:38,468 --> 00:06:41,468
Speaker 5: happened to our team? Like Derrick Henry is saying goodbye?

165
00:06:41,748 --> 00:06:44,308
Speaker 5: Vrabel's gone, Like where are we headed?

166
00:06:44,348 --> 00:06:45,828
Speaker 8: What's going on right now in Nashville?

167
00:06:46,068 --> 00:06:49,788
Speaker 5: And I think as the news broke, like you were saying,

168
00:06:49,828 --> 00:06:52,228
Speaker 5: some people weren't that surprised because maybe they saw this

169
00:06:52,268 --> 00:06:54,868
Speaker 5: coming down the road, like the Tennessee Titans just knocked

170
00:06:54,868 --> 00:06:57,028
Speaker 5: off the Jacksonville jack Owners, Like they basically ruined the

171
00:06:57,148 --> 00:07:00,108
Speaker 5: entire playoff scenarios that we all had. And we're all

172
00:07:00,108 --> 00:07:01,828
Speaker 5: the sheets we were looking at all week long. So

173
00:07:02,468 --> 00:07:04,268
Speaker 5: I look at this this team, and I look at

174
00:07:04,268 --> 00:07:05,908
Speaker 5: what's going on. Right So you mean to tell me

175
00:07:05,948 --> 00:07:08,708
Speaker 5: if if the Titans had won and made it in

176
00:07:08,788 --> 00:07:11,628
Speaker 5: the playoffs, somehow, some way, you're still going to possibly

177
00:07:11,668 --> 00:07:13,708
Speaker 5: fire Mike Rabel right now, like the train was already

178
00:07:13,908 --> 00:07:16,428
Speaker 5: off of the tracks. From that standpoint, I don't understand that.

179
00:07:16,548 --> 00:07:19,268
Speaker 5: I think that Mike Rabel, you talked about everybody loves him. Look,

180
00:07:19,308 --> 00:07:21,268
Speaker 5: Taylor Lawan was on the Rich Eisen Show when that

181
00:07:21,308 --> 00:07:23,628
Speaker 5: news broke and he was flabbergasted, Like when have you.

182
00:07:23,628 --> 00:07:24,988
Speaker 8: Ever seen Taylor Lawan speechles.

183
00:07:24,988 --> 00:07:27,188
Speaker 5: He didn't know what to say, like the guy always

184
00:07:27,228 --> 00:07:29,548
Speaker 5: has something, you know, some sort of angle, but he

185
00:07:29,668 --> 00:07:30,228
Speaker 5: was shocked.

186
00:07:30,268 --> 00:07:32,268
Speaker 8: I think we all were. I've known Mike Rabel a

187
00:07:32,308 --> 00:07:32,668
Speaker 8: long time.

188
00:07:32,708 --> 00:07:34,788
Speaker 5: I played against him, I've hung out with him, I've

189
00:07:34,788 --> 00:07:37,388
Speaker 5: crushed beers with him, like like he's the guys guy,

190
00:07:37,628 --> 00:07:39,948
Speaker 5: and every player loves that.

191
00:07:40,028 --> 00:07:40,708
Speaker 8: He drives you.

192
00:07:40,748 --> 00:07:42,868
Speaker 5: He pushes you hard, but he works hard and he

193
00:07:42,908 --> 00:07:45,788
Speaker 5: plays hard. And I think that Mike Rabel right now

194
00:07:45,948 --> 00:07:48,228
Speaker 5: is as soon as he was fired, he became the

195
00:07:48,308 --> 00:07:51,628
Speaker 5: most eligible bachelor out there right now in the coaching world,

196
00:07:51,828 --> 00:07:54,188
Speaker 5: because this guy's got grit. He's the kind of coach

197
00:07:54,188 --> 00:07:55,908
Speaker 5: that's going to get down and grab a shield. Hey,

198
00:07:55,948 --> 00:07:57,148
Speaker 5: you want, I'm going to show you how to hit

199
00:07:57,188 --> 00:07:58,788
Speaker 5: the sled, Like I'm I'm just going to tell you

200
00:07:58,828 --> 00:08:00,388
Speaker 5: how to do it. I'm gonna show you. He's still

201
00:08:00,388 --> 00:08:02,868
Speaker 5: got some vinegar in his body. And uh, I think

202
00:08:02,868 --> 00:08:06,268
Speaker 5: players love playing for him. So nobody fits the player

203
00:08:06,428 --> 00:08:09,388
Speaker 5: coach mentality mold better than Mike level right now, and

204
00:08:09,428 --> 00:08:11,428
Speaker 5: I think he brings a lot to the table, so

205
00:08:11,468 --> 00:08:13,908
Speaker 5: he's gonna ben He's not gonna be a free agent

206
00:08:13,948 --> 00:08:14,908
Speaker 5: for revery long as a coach.

207
00:08:15,028 --> 00:08:17,668
Speaker 3: We had a long conversation yesterday about like, how do

208
00:08:17,788 --> 00:08:22,108
Speaker 3: the Patriots go about their decision making tree essentially, and

209
00:08:22,188 --> 00:08:24,388
Speaker 3: what these meetings are gonna be like with Bill Belichick,

210
00:08:24,428 --> 00:08:27,148
Speaker 3: And at the time Mike Rabol was not available, so

211
00:08:27,188 --> 00:08:30,068
Speaker 3: we didn't really go down that path. But Rabel in

212
00:08:30,108 --> 00:08:33,588
Speaker 3: the most obvious sense, does seem like the best fit

213
00:08:33,748 --> 00:08:37,508
Speaker 3: because it's not Belichick, it's not Belichick's son, it's not

214
00:08:37,588 --> 00:08:40,068
Speaker 3: Yourrod Mayo who's been in house the last couple of years.

215
00:08:40,188 --> 00:08:42,428
Speaker 3: It is a new face, a new body, but a

216
00:08:42,508 --> 00:08:45,428
Speaker 3: similar voice and the tenor to what the Patriots are

217
00:08:45,508 --> 00:08:48,428
Speaker 3: used to doing, and somebody who is of youthful energy

218
00:08:48,788 --> 00:08:52,228
Speaker 3: but also has that same kind of culture that you

219
00:08:52,268 --> 00:08:55,068
Speaker 3: think Belichick has built that obviously the Craft family is

220
00:08:55,108 --> 00:08:55,788
Speaker 3: accustomed to.

221
00:08:56,268 --> 00:08:56,428
Speaker 1: Now.

222
00:08:56,508 --> 00:08:58,948
Speaker 3: The Titans, to your point and everybody's play the table,

223
00:08:59,188 --> 00:09:01,148
Speaker 3: they have not just fallen on their face this season.

224
00:09:01,148 --> 00:09:03,628
Speaker 3: They played a huge role in making this Super wildcard

225
00:09:03,628 --> 00:09:06,388
Speaker 3: matchup possible. Tennessee beat the Jags in week eighteen. They

226
00:09:06,388 --> 00:09:08,268
Speaker 3: also had a great win against the Dolphins a couple

227
00:09:08,348 --> 00:09:11,388
Speaker 3: weeks before that that led to the Steelers grabbing that

228
00:09:11,468 --> 00:09:14,308
Speaker 3: seventh seat sandwich shop, and the Pittsburgh has been sending

229
00:09:14,348 --> 00:09:17,308
Speaker 3: sandwiches to Tennessee to the Titans facility to thank them

230
00:09:17,388 --> 00:09:18,708
Speaker 3: very generous people.

231
00:09:18,748 --> 00:09:19,628
Speaker 11: Do not get one of those things.

232
00:09:19,748 --> 00:09:21,468
Speaker 3: Did not get one of those sandwiches.

233
00:09:21,548 --> 00:09:23,588
Speaker 4: Different he's just sitting on a desk set.

234
00:09:23,708 --> 00:09:27,308
Speaker 3: The Steelers will head to Buffalo now on Sunday. So

235
00:09:27,748 --> 00:09:29,948
Speaker 3: one thing that we were watching for for this Steelers

236
00:09:29,988 --> 00:09:33,228
Speaker 3: Bills matchup Peter that we didn't see it coming, but

237
00:09:33,348 --> 00:09:34,068
Speaker 3: I think we kind.

238
00:09:33,908 --> 00:09:34,428
Speaker 11: Of all like it.

239
00:09:34,668 --> 00:09:35,068
Speaker 9: It's good.

240
00:09:35,268 --> 00:09:35,548
Speaker 8: The t J.

241
00:09:35,668 --> 00:09:36,628
Speaker 9: Watt news is a killer.

242
00:09:36,708 --> 00:09:37,988
Speaker 11: Oh that's such a bummer.

243
00:09:38,108 --> 00:09:39,748
Speaker 4: You know, you want to see the best of the

244
00:09:39,788 --> 00:09:42,308
Speaker 4: best out there in Pittsburgh's best player is TJ.

245
00:09:42,348 --> 00:09:42,668
Speaker 9: Watt.

246
00:09:42,628 --> 00:09:44,588
Speaker 4: They hear he's not out there is devastating for the

247
00:09:44,668 --> 00:09:47,388
Speaker 4: viewer but also for the Steelers fans. And yet at

248
00:09:47,388 --> 00:09:49,388
Speaker 4: this point they've had their hands tied behind their backs

249
00:09:49,388 --> 00:09:50,748
Speaker 4: of the season and this is where they end up.

250
00:09:50,748 --> 00:09:51,428
Speaker 9: Ten win season.

251
00:09:51,468 --> 00:09:53,868
Speaker 4: You have never expected that when they were losing to

252
00:09:53,908 --> 00:09:56,948
Speaker 4: the Patriots on a Thursday night, or when they were

253
00:09:56,948 --> 00:09:58,908
Speaker 4: going out and they're losing to the Cardinals at home.

254
00:09:58,988 --> 00:10:01,908
Speaker 4: Crazy things happen in this NFL. But I look at

255
00:10:01,908 --> 00:10:04,588
Speaker 4: this Bills too, and hear me out. They might be

256
00:10:04,628 --> 00:10:07,828
Speaker 4: the hottest team on paper in the NFL. They've rattled

257
00:10:07,868 --> 00:10:09,868
Speaker 4: off all these wins, and they ran from an eleven

258
00:10:09,948 --> 00:10:11,868
Speaker 4: seed with fourteen percent chance of making.

259
00:10:11,708 --> 00:10:14,908
Speaker 9: The playoffs to a two seed. But I don't think

260
00:10:14,988 --> 00:10:15,668
Speaker 9: they look.

261
00:10:15,628 --> 00:10:17,668
Speaker 4: Like the hottest team when you actually watched them. I

262
00:10:17,668 --> 00:10:21,628
Speaker 4: think they're still incredibly sloppy. And I'm talking about Sunday night.

263
00:10:21,668 --> 00:10:23,988
Speaker 4: All this hype into this game and there we come.

264
00:10:24,028 --> 00:10:27,268
Speaker 4: We're in the red zone twice, interceptions in the red

265
00:10:27,348 --> 00:10:30,708
Speaker 4: zone from Josh Allen keeping this not only competitive, but

266
00:10:30,788 --> 00:10:31,788
Speaker 4: giving Miami.

267
00:10:31,468 --> 00:10:33,028
Speaker 7: The chance to be up fourteen to seven in the

268
00:10:33,028 --> 00:10:33,668
Speaker 7: third quarter.

269
00:10:34,228 --> 00:10:37,668
Speaker 4: Allen looked sloppy in these passes the offense. As much

270
00:10:37,708 --> 00:10:39,508
Speaker 4: as we want to say they're the hot team coming in,

271
00:10:40,068 --> 00:10:41,428
Speaker 4: remember I said this couple of weeks ago.

272
00:10:41,548 --> 00:10:42,988
Speaker 9: They looked terrible against.

273
00:10:42,628 --> 00:10:45,228
Speaker 4: The Chargers on that Saturday night game in Peacock World

274
00:10:45,548 --> 00:10:47,788
Speaker 4: where they where they almost lost to an LA.

275
00:10:47,668 --> 00:10:49,908
Speaker 9: Team lived by Easton Sticking Giftsmith.

276
00:10:50,028 --> 00:10:53,308
Speaker 4: They looked terrible against the Patriots two weeks ago. They

277
00:10:53,348 --> 00:10:55,468
Speaker 4: didn't look great in the first half here, but guess what,

278
00:10:56,108 --> 00:10:58,788
Speaker 4: Josh Allen found the way in the second half and.

279
00:10:58,788 --> 00:10:59,468
Speaker 8: Was able to do it.

280
00:10:59,668 --> 00:11:01,828
Speaker 4: I'm asking for this if I'm watching this, you know,

281
00:11:02,748 --> 00:11:06,388
Speaker 4: just start off, okay, take care of business here. Pittsburgh's

282
00:11:06,388 --> 00:11:08,428
Speaker 4: coming in with a ton of pride, toun momentum in

283
00:11:08,468 --> 00:11:09,788
Speaker 4: a fun storybook season.

284
00:11:09,948 --> 00:11:10,668
Speaker 9: But without TJ.

285
00:11:10,748 --> 00:11:13,548
Speaker 4: Watt, this should be a game that Buffalo should handle

286
00:11:13,588 --> 00:11:15,388
Speaker 4: at home. Don't sweat it out because you know what,

287
00:11:15,428 --> 00:11:17,108
Speaker 4: last year in the playoffs, Jason, we talked about it.

288
00:11:17,188 --> 00:11:20,988
Speaker 4: Yesterday they hosted a Skyler Thompson led Dolphins team and

289
00:11:21,068 --> 00:11:23,228
Speaker 4: had to fight two pin al and it went to

290
00:11:23,268 --> 00:11:25,948
Speaker 4: the final minute because Skyler Thompson was thrown all over

291
00:11:25,988 --> 00:11:28,148
Speaker 4: the defense and Josh Allen was throwing the ball right

292
00:11:28,188 --> 00:11:31,108
Speaker 4: to these Dolphins. For once, can this Bills team just

293
00:11:31,148 --> 00:11:33,348
Speaker 4: win a playoff game nice and easy and take care

294
00:11:33,388 --> 00:11:36,268
Speaker 4: of business. Don't make them sweat it out in Buffalo.

295
00:11:36,548 --> 00:11:38,548
Speaker 4: Get this one up early and get this one out

296
00:11:38,588 --> 00:11:40,668
Speaker 4: off it like, take care of business. Win this game

297
00:11:40,708 --> 00:11:43,188
Speaker 4: because you should, especially if TJ. Watts not on the field.

298
00:11:43,268 --> 00:11:45,068
Speaker 10: I love that you keep saying that, especially if TJ.

299
00:11:45,148 --> 00:11:47,548
Speaker 10: Watson not on the field, such a huge part of

300
00:11:47,588 --> 00:11:50,108
Speaker 10: the Pittsburgh Steelers for everything he does on the field

301
00:11:50,148 --> 00:11:52,508
Speaker 10: with this play, but just the inspiration out he gives

302
00:11:52,548 --> 00:11:55,508
Speaker 10: off the field around his teammates as well. You look

303
00:11:55,548 --> 00:11:58,108
Speaker 10: at the Steelers team and they fall and they've called

304
00:11:58,108 --> 00:12:00,828
Speaker 10: to get themselves into playoffs, and these are the games

305
00:12:00,868 --> 00:12:03,668
Speaker 10: that they've played without TJ. Watts since he was drafted

306
00:12:03,708 --> 00:12:04,388
Speaker 10: in twenty seven.

307
00:12:04,668 --> 00:12:06,348
Speaker 11: Team one victory.

308
00:12:06,388 --> 00:12:08,268
Speaker 10: You can go all the way back to the game

309
00:12:08,308 --> 00:12:10,868
Speaker 10: of twenty twenty two when the Bills played the Steelers

310
00:12:10,988 --> 00:12:13,548
Speaker 10: and TJ. Watt wasn't out there with a pectoral injury

311
00:12:13,748 --> 00:12:16,548
Speaker 10: and Josh Allen had four touchdown passes in the first half.

312
00:12:16,668 --> 00:12:18,308
Speaker 10: So shrikes to your point, as you're looking at this

313
00:12:18,308 --> 00:12:20,468
Speaker 10: Bills team, you're saying, Hey, find a way you're going

314
00:12:20,468 --> 00:12:22,668
Speaker 10: to get this team. For the Pittsburgh Steelers, I'm looking

315
00:12:22,708 --> 00:12:26,188
Speaker 10: at them, like, show me something different this time around

316
00:12:26,228 --> 00:12:27,148
Speaker 10: without TJ.

317
00:12:27,228 --> 00:12:27,508
Speaker 11: Watt.

318
00:12:27,788 --> 00:12:30,348
Speaker 10: This is a team that found some type of resiliency

319
00:12:30,548 --> 00:12:32,508
Speaker 10: throughout the course of this season. There were a moment

320
00:12:32,548 --> 00:12:35,028
Speaker 10: a few weeks ago where people were questioning whether Mike

321
00:12:35,068 --> 00:12:38,428
Speaker 10: Tomlin should remain the head coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers.

322
00:12:38,548 --> 00:12:41,308
Speaker 10: They've always been able to fight, and claud Mason Rudolph

323
00:12:41,308 --> 00:12:43,228
Speaker 10: has gotten in there, and you talk about a hot team.

324
00:12:43,228 --> 00:12:45,628
Speaker 10: Mason Rudolph is three and zero since he's been inserted

325
00:12:45,668 --> 00:12:46,908
Speaker 10: into the starting lineup.

326
00:12:47,108 --> 00:12:48,588
Speaker 11: So find a way.

327
00:12:48,388 --> 00:12:51,588
Speaker 10: To go out there and still perform, specially defensively, without

328
00:12:51,628 --> 00:12:52,348
Speaker 10: someone like TJ.

329
00:12:52,428 --> 00:12:53,028
Speaker 11: Watt out there.

330
00:12:53,148 --> 00:12:55,788
Speaker 8: Man, this matchup would feel totally different. If TJ.

331
00:12:55,828 --> 00:12:56,268
Speaker 11: Watt was out.

332
00:12:56,388 --> 00:12:58,508
Speaker 5: We'd be talking about him and alex My Heighsmith and

333
00:12:58,548 --> 00:13:00,348
Speaker 5: how are they going to not just get to Josh

334
00:13:00,348 --> 00:13:02,948
Speaker 5: Allen but bring him down, you know, to your point, Triggs, Like,

335
00:13:03,228 --> 00:13:04,868
Speaker 5: I'm looking at this Bill team like this is a

336
00:13:04,868 --> 00:13:07,308
Speaker 5: game they should win. They're on a hot streak, no

337
00:13:07,308 --> 00:13:09,668
Speaker 5: doubt about it. It's the gas that we can't get

338
00:13:09,708 --> 00:13:11,348
Speaker 5: over the end of the half gaff, the fact that

339
00:13:11,428 --> 00:13:13,948
Speaker 5: Josh Allen misses steff On Dick streaking down the sideline.

340
00:13:14,388 --> 00:13:16,948
Speaker 5: They can't play that type of ball. But Gabe Davis

341
00:13:17,108 --> 00:13:17,588
Speaker 5: banged up.

342
00:13:17,948 --> 00:13:18,628
Speaker 8: He hurt his knee.

343
00:13:18,668 --> 00:13:20,868
Speaker 5: I think its a PCL injury. His status is right

344
00:13:20,908 --> 00:13:22,148
Speaker 5: now is up in the air. So I'm looking at

345
00:13:22,148 --> 00:13:23,828
Speaker 5: the Buffalo Bills and if I'm the Steelers's like, we've

346
00:13:23,828 --> 00:13:25,748
Speaker 5: got to take digs away right, all right, So somebody

347
00:13:25,748 --> 00:13:26,628
Speaker 5: else has got to beat us.

348
00:13:26,748 --> 00:13:27,788
Speaker 8: Why not Dalton Kincaid.

349
00:13:28,028 --> 00:13:29,948
Speaker 5: I think Kincaid when you look at what he has

350
00:13:29,988 --> 00:13:32,188
Speaker 5: done for this offense and the element that he brings,

351
00:13:32,348 --> 00:13:35,228
Speaker 5: he's almost Travis Kelcey like with his route running, with

352
00:13:35,268 --> 00:13:37,828
Speaker 5: his like, the way that he looks. He didn't look

353
00:13:37,828 --> 00:13:39,508
Speaker 5: like a tight end. He's like another receiver out there.

354
00:13:39,548 --> 00:13:41,708
Speaker 5: So I think he could be a big factor in

355
00:13:41,748 --> 00:13:45,828
Speaker 5: this game. Now he's their second leading receiver and receptions

356
00:13:45,828 --> 00:13:46,308
Speaker 5: on that team.

357
00:13:46,388 --> 00:13:48,868
Speaker 4: It took a while this season, but on Sunday he

358
00:13:48,988 --> 00:13:49,908
Speaker 4: was the number one option.

359
00:13:50,228 --> 00:13:52,268
Speaker 5: He's like his coming out party has been like the

360
00:13:52,308 --> 00:13:54,348
Speaker 5: second half of the season. I just want to throw

361
00:13:54,388 --> 00:13:56,508
Speaker 5: a name out there. He just broke the record for

362
00:13:56,548 --> 00:13:58,548
Speaker 5: Pete Metzlar's. You want to not New Jersey.

363
00:13:58,628 --> 00:13:59,108
Speaker 8: If we see a.

364
00:13:59,108 --> 00:14:03,388
Speaker 5: Pete Metzler jersey in Bill Stadium, that'll make the show.

365
00:14:03,468 --> 00:14:05,428
Speaker 8: What the record rookie catches.

366
00:14:05,148 --> 00:14:08,308
Speaker 5: And most receiver, most receptions by tight end in the

367
00:14:08,348 --> 00:14:09,348
Speaker 5: history in franchise history.

368
00:14:09,428 --> 00:14:10,988
Speaker 8: It is a rookie just did it as a rookie.

369
00:14:11,028 --> 00:14:11,948
Speaker 8: So I think Kinkaid.

370
00:14:12,028 --> 00:14:13,828
Speaker 5: Look here and Josh Allen got a little relationship, they

371
00:14:13,828 --> 00:14:14,708
Speaker 5: got a little something going on.

372
00:14:14,788 --> 00:14:17,388
Speaker 3: We're gonna keep talking about this matchup in Buffalo because

373
00:14:17,388 --> 00:14:19,348
Speaker 3: Mason Rudolph also still part of the conversation that we

374
00:14:19,388 --> 00:14:20,748
Speaker 3: should get to still to come on our show.

375
00:14:20,748 --> 00:14:20,908
Speaker 2: Though.

376
00:14:21,028 --> 00:14:22,788
Speaker 10: Let's talk a little bit about players that we have

377
00:14:22,908 --> 00:14:27,228
Speaker 10: zero concerns about going into Super wild Card week.

378
00:14:27,108 --> 00:14:29,228
Speaker 9: And one of them, do you think so?

379
00:14:29,388 --> 00:14:31,228
Speaker 11: I don't know, right, I'm going to dive into it.

380
00:14:31,268 --> 00:14:34,148
Speaker 11: Maybe maybe don't Harrow have something to say about those birds?

381
00:14:34,228 --> 00:14:36,148
Speaker 11: Whiteboard Wednesday is next.

382
00:14:48,388 --> 00:14:53,148
Speaker 12: Good Morning Football, all right, tig with Whiteboard Wednesday, the

383
00:14:53,228 --> 00:14:55,908
Speaker 12: Dolphins get the first treatment of the day. When asked

384
00:14:55,908 --> 00:14:59,708
Speaker 12: about Tyreek Hills dropped passes this season, Miami's head coach

385
00:14:59,748 --> 00:15:03,388
Speaker 12: Mike McDaniel told reporters, quote, there are zero people that

386
00:15:03,428 --> 00:15:07,708
Speaker 12: are concerned about this. The person that quote zero people

387
00:15:07,828 --> 00:15:11,708
Speaker 12: should be concerned about heading into Super wild Card weekend,

388
00:15:11,788 --> 00:15:12,468
Speaker 12: Peter Is.

389
00:15:12,708 --> 00:15:14,988
Speaker 4: It's funny because we got this game between the Lions

390
00:15:15,068 --> 00:15:17,748
Speaker 4: and the Rams, and there's so much hype about the

391
00:15:17,868 --> 00:15:21,588
Speaker 4: Stafford return and Goff getting a chance to go against McVeigh,

392
00:15:21,668 --> 00:15:24,308
Speaker 4: and then of course you add in this element of, oh,

393
00:15:24,348 --> 00:15:26,428
Speaker 4: I don't know the first home playoff game in Detroit

394
00:15:26,468 --> 00:15:28,748
Speaker 4: in thirty years, and what that building's going to be.

395
00:15:29,068 --> 00:15:32,228
Speaker 4: And you'd think that everybody's head with me swimming. This

396
00:15:32,268 --> 00:15:34,348
Speaker 4: guy right here is only focused on the wall.

397
00:15:34,268 --> 00:15:36,028
Speaker 9: Not engaging in any of this.

398
00:15:36,148 --> 00:15:39,068
Speaker 4: Jared GoF Slander was very positive someday when asked about

399
00:15:39,068 --> 00:15:42,028
Speaker 4: it in his media And I have to think that

400
00:15:42,068 --> 00:15:42,908
Speaker 4: this guy going.

401
00:15:42,788 --> 00:15:45,748
Speaker 9: Up against Aaron Glenn, going up against Dan.

402
00:15:45,708 --> 00:15:47,908
Speaker 4: Campbell is in the lab right now to try to

403
00:15:47,948 --> 00:15:50,708
Speaker 4: figure out how to get Nikua opened, how to get

404
00:15:50,868 --> 00:15:53,748
Speaker 4: his guy cup open into, how to get Karen Williams

405
00:15:53,948 --> 00:15:56,348
Speaker 4: going early. Look the Rams, they come into this game

406
00:15:56,428 --> 00:15:59,388
Speaker 4: red hot. They lost the game, you know, a couple

407
00:15:59,428 --> 00:16:01,588
Speaker 4: of weeks back to the Ravens in Baltimore. Other than

408
00:16:01,588 --> 00:16:04,308
Speaker 4: that they have not lost in two months. They're feeling themselves.

409
00:16:04,748 --> 00:16:06,628
Speaker 4: I don't think this guy is someone who's worried about

410
00:16:06,628 --> 00:16:08,748
Speaker 4: what we're talking about in the drama and the narrative

411
00:16:08,788 --> 00:16:12,068
Speaker 4: off the field. Maybe Stafford's affected by it, maybe Goff's

412
00:16:12,068 --> 00:16:14,428
Speaker 4: affected by it. This guy's locked in and he's gonna

413
00:16:14,428 --> 00:16:15,668
Speaker 4: get the most out of that young team.

414
00:16:15,788 --> 00:16:16,788
Speaker 8: I love that Sean McVay.

415
00:16:16,828 --> 00:16:19,348
Speaker 10: All he's doing is changing diapers in those football stuff.

416
00:16:19,628 --> 00:16:21,628
Speaker 10: I'm going with a guy who's arguably been the best

417
00:16:21,668 --> 00:16:23,508
Speaker 10: at his position this season.

418
00:16:23,588 --> 00:16:26,468
Speaker 11: I'm going with CD Lamb, the wide receiver.

419
00:16:26,548 --> 00:16:28,308
Speaker 10: Those are my CDs at the bottom of that thing

420
00:16:28,388 --> 00:16:31,268
Speaker 10: right there. His seventeen tracks that he's put together this

421
00:16:31,428 --> 00:16:35,068
Speaker 10: year on the football field, has been amazing. Touchdowns and

422
00:16:35,228 --> 00:16:38,108
Speaker 10: is the last nine game that's nine straight of him

423
00:16:38,308 --> 00:16:41,628
Speaker 10: crossing that goal line. Peter, you said it the other day,

424
00:16:41,628 --> 00:16:43,508
Speaker 10: you were talking about Ceede Lamb. He said, everybody says

425
00:16:43,508 --> 00:16:45,708
Speaker 10: what's different about this Dallas Cowboys team. So I don't

426
00:16:45,708 --> 00:16:48,148
Speaker 10: know if they've had a player that's played like Ceedee

427
00:16:48,228 --> 00:16:50,988
Speaker 10: Lamb throughout the course of a season. He has broken

428
00:16:51,028 --> 00:16:55,308
Speaker 10: the records of Michael Irvin and all there this season, receptions,

429
00:16:55,388 --> 00:16:58,148
Speaker 10: yards and it all. Ceedee Lamb has been unbelievable, has

430
00:16:58,148 --> 00:17:01,028
Speaker 10: looked unguardable out there. I have no concerns about him

431
00:17:01,028 --> 00:17:02,828
Speaker 10: performing a Super Wildcard weekend.

432
00:17:03,068 --> 00:17:05,588
Speaker 3: Let's just like have one seas and then maybe put

433
00:17:05,628 --> 00:17:07,868
Speaker 3: like a little scratch trapped on it or something like that.

434
00:17:07,948 --> 00:17:08,388
Speaker 3: Looks like I.

435
00:17:08,388 --> 00:17:11,708
Speaker 11: Don't definitely have to have scratches seventeen.

436
00:17:11,748 --> 00:17:13,628
Speaker 3: Maybe we could just eighty eight over here and then

437
00:17:13,668 --> 00:17:15,428
Speaker 3: we're good. Okay, that's okay when.

438
00:17:15,268 --> 00:17:17,508
Speaker 8: There's two and looks funny.

439
00:17:17,628 --> 00:17:20,748
Speaker 3: Yeah, you save Sean putting pulls together.

440
00:17:22,308 --> 00:17:23,868
Speaker 11: I thought they were compact discs were good.

441
00:17:23,868 --> 00:17:28,268
Speaker 5: Guys were compact speed up for comfort CD. I think

442
00:17:28,668 --> 00:17:29,628
Speaker 5: his move right here, right.

443
00:17:31,748 --> 00:17:32,188
Speaker 3: On your board.

444
00:17:32,548 --> 00:17:35,908
Speaker 8: All right, you don't have to worry about this guy, right,

445
00:17:36,228 --> 00:17:36,708
Speaker 8: talk about it.

446
00:17:36,948 --> 00:17:38,348
Speaker 11: Give me, give me some Joe Flacco.

447
00:17:38,508 --> 00:17:41,468
Speaker 5: Look, everybody's worried about the quarterback and how they're going

448
00:17:41,548 --> 00:17:42,468
Speaker 5: to play in the playoffs.

449
00:17:42,548 --> 00:17:43,348
Speaker 11: How are they going to do in.

450
00:17:43,348 --> 00:17:45,668
Speaker 8: The bright lights? You don't have to worry about Joe Flacco.

451
00:17:46,148 --> 00:17:47,548
Speaker 8: Guess who is ten.

452
00:17:47,428 --> 00:17:50,868
Speaker 5: Playoff victories in his Guess who's never lost a wildcard

453
00:17:50,868 --> 00:17:52,388
Speaker 5: playoff game in his career.

454
00:17:52,708 --> 00:17:54,428
Speaker 8: That's right, Joe Flacco. Look c J.

455
00:17:54,508 --> 00:17:56,708
Speaker 5: Stroud a phenomenal season. I love what he's done. He's

456
00:17:56,708 --> 00:17:59,348
Speaker 5: done a great job. Would take care of football. But

457
00:17:59,428 --> 00:18:00,948
Speaker 5: when I got on air When when I get on

458
00:18:00,948 --> 00:18:02,428
Speaker 5: airplane and I know I'm going on a long flight,

459
00:18:03,148 --> 00:18:05,588
Speaker 5: I don't want the guy who's done in his simulator

460
00:18:05,668 --> 00:18:08,148
Speaker 5: but this is his first flight. Like I want the

461
00:18:08,148 --> 00:18:11,988
Speaker 5: guy following that flight one hundred thousand times. I want

462
00:18:11,988 --> 00:18:14,468
Speaker 5: the forty five year old gray bearded guy That's what

463
00:18:14,548 --> 00:18:15,268
Speaker 5: I wanted my pilot.

464
00:18:15,268 --> 00:18:16,188
Speaker 8: That's who Joe Flacco was.

465
00:18:16,308 --> 00:18:19,788
Speaker 3: You want solely, you want the pilot in the river.

466
00:18:20,068 --> 00:18:22,188
Speaker 3: But if Joe Flacco needed to, he could land the

467
00:18:22,188 --> 00:18:23,268
Speaker 3: Browns to a playoffs.

468
00:18:23,348 --> 00:18:23,708
Speaker 8: Got that in.

469
00:18:24,268 --> 00:18:27,708
Speaker 4: That's pigeons, Birds birds.

470
00:18:27,908 --> 00:18:32,188
Speaker 3: Yesterday, Peter revealed his final Rookie Fab five list of

471
00:18:32,308 --> 00:18:34,988
Speaker 3: twenty twenty three. No defensive players could have been so

472
00:18:35,148 --> 00:18:37,988
Speaker 3: fun to watch these five guys. Peter quickly cj Stroud

473
00:18:38,108 --> 00:18:40,348
Speaker 3: lands at the top. You had the Tommy DeVito appearance

474
00:18:40,388 --> 00:18:42,948
Speaker 3: throughout the season. So here's the question, by the way.

475
00:18:42,788 --> 00:18:45,868
Speaker 4: Real quick, Jordan Addison fans and Jordan Adison, I've heard you.

476
00:18:45,948 --> 00:18:49,428
Speaker 4: I got literally over two thousand tweets from Jordan Addison,

477
00:18:49,468 --> 00:18:52,548
Speaker 4: people saying he had Nick Mullens, Josh Dobbs, Jaren Hall,

478
00:18:52,588 --> 00:18:55,028
Speaker 4: and he still had way better numbers than all those guys.

479
00:18:55,028 --> 00:18:57,788
Speaker 4: How do you not have Jordan Addison? I didn't have Jordanissen.

480
00:18:57,788 --> 00:18:59,508
Speaker 4: He might be number six, seven, eight on the list.

481
00:18:59,668 --> 00:19:01,188
Speaker 4: All those guys are going to the playoffs.

482
00:19:01,228 --> 00:19:03,028
Speaker 3: The great part about that list exactly is that we're

483
00:19:03,028 --> 00:19:04,988
Speaker 3: going to see all of them this weekend. So let's

484
00:19:04,988 --> 00:19:06,948
Speaker 3: write the rookie doesn't have to be off Peter's list

485
00:19:07,028 --> 00:19:09,828
Speaker 3: that you're most excited to see play on Super wild

486
00:19:10,028 --> 00:19:11,108
Speaker 3: Card weekend.

487
00:19:11,388 --> 00:19:14,068
Speaker 4: Peter start, you know what the other guy who got

488
00:19:14,068 --> 00:19:15,428
Speaker 4: a lot of feedback and it was coming from the

489
00:19:15,548 --> 00:19:19,388
Speaker 4: Kansas City fans better numbers across the board than Zay Flowers.

490
00:19:19,428 --> 00:19:21,588
Speaker 9: How could I not include Rashi Rice.

491
00:19:21,668 --> 00:19:24,028
Speaker 4: Take a look at this got some analysis from many

492
00:19:24,068 --> 00:19:29,308
Speaker 4: a Chiefs fans. Statistically across the board, every single stat

493
00:19:29,788 --> 00:19:32,068
Speaker 4: was in favor of rash Rice over Jay Flowers.

494
00:19:32,108 --> 00:19:33,028
Speaker 9: I win Za Flowers.

495
00:19:33,028 --> 00:19:35,428
Speaker 4: I thought Jay Flowers and this sounds like it's just

496
00:19:35,428 --> 00:19:36,548
Speaker 4: me talking esoterics.

497
00:19:36,548 --> 00:19:37,428
Speaker 9: Whatever I thought.

498
00:19:37,508 --> 00:19:40,788
Speaker 4: Jay Flowers got that Ravens offense over the hump totally

499
00:19:40,868 --> 00:19:42,748
Speaker 4: changed them. It was he and Odell they came in

500
00:19:42,748 --> 00:19:45,588
Speaker 4: and the receiving room is what really worked with Todd

501
00:19:45,628 --> 00:19:46,468
Speaker 4: munkin coming in as the.

502
00:19:46,428 --> 00:19:47,388
Speaker 9: New offensive coordinator.

503
00:19:47,748 --> 00:19:49,548
Speaker 4: I looked at the Chiefs offense and yes, ra Shee

504
00:19:49,628 --> 00:19:52,188
Speaker 4: Rice was the most dynamic receiver on the team. I

505
00:19:52,268 --> 00:19:54,508
Speaker 4: wasn't trying to slight Rashi Rice not including him by

506
00:19:54,508 --> 00:19:57,228
Speaker 4: putting Flowers over him. I think they both could be included.

507
00:19:57,468 --> 00:19:59,148
Speaker 4: I think Rache Rice is going to have a day

508
00:19:59,508 --> 00:20:02,228
Speaker 4: Saturday night in that freezing cold against the Dolphins.

509
00:20:02,508 --> 00:20:04,068
Speaker 9: I'm so excited to see the rookie.

510
00:20:04,468 --> 00:20:06,268
Speaker 4: Everyone's talking about the Chiefs wide receivers.

511
00:20:06,348 --> 00:20:07,228
Speaker 2: None of it matters.

512
00:20:07,588 --> 00:20:09,548
Speaker 9: If they can step up in the playoffs, none of

513
00:20:09,548 --> 00:20:10,788
Speaker 9: it matter. It's all and afterthought.

514
00:20:10,788 --> 00:20:12,468
Speaker 4: If the Chief's going to run and the receiver's catched

515
00:20:12,508 --> 00:20:14,468
Speaker 4: the ball. Rashie Rice has been their best one off season.

516
00:20:14,468 --> 00:20:16,108
Speaker 4: I can't wait to see him. I'm sorry for leaving

517
00:20:16,148 --> 00:20:17,508
Speaker 4: you off the top five rookie.

518
00:20:17,268 --> 00:20:20,348
Speaker 10: List six seven, eight, somewhere on there. He's on the list,

519
00:20:20,508 --> 00:20:23,308
Speaker 10: just not in the five. It was Schrager's Fab five

520
00:20:23,388 --> 00:20:24,108
Speaker 10: and that's what matters.

521
00:20:24,228 --> 00:20:24,948
Speaker 11: That old pilot.

522
00:20:25,068 --> 00:20:27,148
Speaker 10: You know, as you get older, sometimes your vision starts

523
00:20:27,228 --> 00:20:29,428
Speaker 10: to go. So you might have been really fast and

524
00:20:29,508 --> 00:20:31,588
Speaker 10: been able to do your thing, but sometimes you get

525
00:20:31,628 --> 00:20:33,468
Speaker 10: the young guy in there and he's just at the

526
00:20:33,588 --> 00:20:34,588
Speaker 10: top of his class.

527
00:20:34,868 --> 00:20:35,828
Speaker 11: I'm going with CJ.

528
00:20:35,988 --> 00:20:39,148
Speaker 10: Stroud was number one on Schrager's list, and sometimes you

529
00:20:39,508 --> 00:20:40,468
Speaker 10: hear about things, but.

530
00:20:40,548 --> 00:20:42,428
Speaker 11: You haven't really seen him. There's this new TV show.

531
00:20:42,468 --> 00:20:44,868
Speaker 10: Everybody's talking about it at work, like I haven't really

532
00:20:44,908 --> 00:20:45,828
Speaker 10: gotten a chance to see it.

533
00:20:45,908 --> 00:20:47,988
Speaker 11: For a lot of NFL fans, you haven't gotten a

534
00:20:48,108 --> 00:20:48,828
Speaker 11: chance to really.

535
00:20:48,668 --> 00:20:51,348
Speaker 10: See Houston until last weekend and you got the Nico

536
00:20:51,468 --> 00:20:55,508
Speaker 10: Collins CJ. Shroud experience. This guy has been unbelievable for

537
00:20:55,628 --> 00:20:58,068
Speaker 10: a rookie, the way he processes, how fast he gets

538
00:20:58,108 --> 00:21:00,908
Speaker 10: the ball out, how accurate he is. I am excited.

539
00:21:00,988 --> 00:21:02,668
Speaker 10: I will be in the building. I want to see

540
00:21:02,668 --> 00:21:05,588
Speaker 10: it up close and personal. See Jay Shroud the number

541
00:21:05,668 --> 00:21:08,028
Speaker 10: two overall pick as advertised.

542
00:21:08,028 --> 00:21:08,708
Speaker 11: Can't wait to see it.

543
00:21:09,348 --> 00:21:11,988
Speaker 5: There's a lot of stars out in La right and

544
00:21:12,548 --> 00:21:16,388
Speaker 5: when the Rams, when award season comes along, they might

545
00:21:16,468 --> 00:21:18,228
Speaker 5: have two rookies of the years.

546
00:21:18,428 --> 00:21:19,508
Speaker 11: We know about Poka Nicola.

547
00:21:19,508 --> 00:21:21,228
Speaker 8: I'm not talking about that star. Talk about a guy

548
00:21:21,268 --> 00:21:22,148
Speaker 8: named Kobob Turner.

549
00:21:22,348 --> 00:21:24,308
Speaker 11: Give me Kobe Turner. Talk about it. Show one for

550
00:21:24,388 --> 00:21:26,948
Speaker 11: the La Rams. He leads the team in sacks.

551
00:21:27,028 --> 00:21:30,188
Speaker 5: This is not Aaron Donald. Kobe Turner. Now when you

552
00:21:30,228 --> 00:21:32,028
Speaker 5: turn on the film, Kobe Turner's popping up the film.

553
00:21:32,348 --> 00:21:35,268
Speaker 5: The Rams played the giants right here in Metlake Stadium.

554
00:21:35,388 --> 00:21:38,748
Speaker 5: This guy was unblockable. He was phenomenal. I kept looking donaldist,

555
00:21:38,788 --> 00:21:40,428
Speaker 5: who is this guy? Who's ninety one? What's going on

556
00:21:40,948 --> 00:21:43,908
Speaker 5: this guy is? He's been phenomenal. I think the Rams

557
00:21:43,948 --> 00:21:45,708
Speaker 5: could end up having the offensive rookie of the Year

558
00:21:45,708 --> 00:21:48,428
Speaker 5: in Pokakua and the defensive rookie of the year, and Kobe.

559
00:21:48,228 --> 00:21:50,028
Speaker 8: Turner can't wait to watching him ball out in the playoff.

560
00:21:50,068 --> 00:21:50,948
Speaker 9: Absolutely, now that.

561
00:21:51,068 --> 00:21:53,228
Speaker 3: That scratched, it is for you too. We love him

562
00:21:53,228 --> 00:21:56,908
Speaker 3: over here, Yep, Jersey twenty four years ago today. I'm

563
00:21:56,908 --> 00:21:59,668
Speaker 3: actually shocked we're doing this part of the segment without

564
00:21:59,748 --> 00:22:03,148
Speaker 3: Kyle Brandt. But it leaves room for creative freedom, if

565
00:22:03,188 --> 00:22:05,668
Speaker 3: you will. The ground Four years ago today, the groundbreaking

566
00:22:05,748 --> 00:22:08,708
Speaker 3: series The Sopranos debuted on HBO, with critics dubbing it

567
00:22:08,828 --> 00:22:12,708
Speaker 3: quote the greatest pop culture masterpiece of its day. Surely

568
00:22:12,748 --> 00:22:15,748
Speaker 3: there are other less heralded masterpieces that might be on

569
00:22:15,868 --> 00:22:18,788
Speaker 3: your list, so let's talk about those. The most underrated

570
00:22:18,868 --> 00:22:21,948
Speaker 3: TV series in your opinion, Peter of all time.

571
00:22:21,988 --> 00:22:23,988
Speaker 4: Is I'm gonna go way off the board on this thing,

572
00:22:24,028 --> 00:22:25,708
Speaker 4: and it's going to hit a nostalgic bone for a

573
00:22:25,708 --> 00:22:28,068
Speaker 4: lot of you viewers at home. And Sean, I think

574
00:22:28,148 --> 00:22:30,388
Speaker 4: you are in my generation a little bit more than

575
00:22:30,468 --> 00:22:31,308
Speaker 4: Jamie and Jason.

576
00:22:31,348 --> 00:22:32,788
Speaker 11: So we're going to go through this.

577
00:22:32,868 --> 00:22:35,428
Speaker 4: What what have I told you that in nineteen ninety one,

578
00:22:35,628 --> 00:22:39,228
Speaker 4: mc hammer was playing left center field, while David Fostino,

579
00:22:39,308 --> 00:22:42,908
Speaker 4: who played Bud Bundy, was playing designated hitter, and Roger

580
00:22:42,988 --> 00:22:46,108
Speaker 4: McDowell was in a quilte The MTV Rock and Jock.

581
00:22:46,228 --> 00:22:49,068
Speaker 4: Do you guys remember Dan Cortes and the MTV Rock

582
00:22:49,148 --> 00:22:53,188
Speaker 4: and Jock. This is celebrities and athletes would play in

583
00:22:53,308 --> 00:22:57,588
Speaker 4: a basketball game, ay softball game, and it was amazing.

584
00:22:57,908 --> 00:23:00,148
Speaker 4: It was Dan Cortes, of course, but you had Mark

585
00:23:00,188 --> 00:23:02,748
Speaker 4: McGuire out there then in the Rock and Jock White

586
00:23:02,788 --> 00:23:05,868
Speaker 4: didn't Jalia White played a lot in the basketball which

587
00:23:05,948 --> 00:23:08,948
Speaker 4: was amazing. You would get John Sally, Luke Perry, Kirk

588
00:23:09,068 --> 00:23:10,428
Speaker 4: Rambis and then you'd come out there and all of

589
00:23:10,428 --> 00:23:10,988
Speaker 4: a sudden.

590
00:23:10,828 --> 00:23:13,308
Speaker 9: Ron Harper and Lottie Divak and Donnie Wahlberg.

591
00:23:12,988 --> 00:23:13,588
Speaker 11: Are all up there.

592
00:23:14,108 --> 00:23:15,908
Speaker 9: Rock and Jock was the coolest. So it was MTV

593
00:23:16,268 --> 00:23:17,468
Speaker 9: back when MTV was a thing.

594
00:23:17,548 --> 00:23:20,028
Speaker 4: Yeah, And you would have the biggest pop stars and

595
00:23:20,108 --> 00:23:21,588
Speaker 4: then the biggest athletes and.

596
00:23:21,628 --> 00:23:22,948
Speaker 9: Everyone was cool and chill.

597
00:23:22,988 --> 00:23:25,508
Speaker 4: Then you'd have the mtvvj's hosting it. And this was

598
00:23:25,588 --> 00:23:27,668
Speaker 4: for years throughout the nineties, and then it went away

599
00:23:27,788 --> 00:23:28,828
Speaker 4: and I will forever miss it.

600
00:23:28,948 --> 00:23:32,268
Speaker 9: It was basketball and it was softball. They never quite

601
00:23:32,348 --> 00:23:33,108
Speaker 9: had football.

602
00:23:33,188 --> 00:23:34,828
Speaker 4: I think with the Pro Bowl games, it wouldn't be

603
00:23:34,908 --> 00:23:38,788
Speaker 4: bad if we had a celebrity football flag football thing.

604
00:23:39,708 --> 00:23:42,388
Speaker 4: That said, my celebrities are probably going to be a

605
00:23:42,548 --> 00:23:44,188
Speaker 4: different group than They'll not pick me a bunch of

606
00:23:44,228 --> 00:23:44,988
Speaker 4: YouTube influencers.

607
00:23:44,988 --> 00:23:46,348
Speaker 11: I'll be like, I don't know any celebrities.

608
00:23:46,508 --> 00:23:47,588
Speaker 7: I don't know any of these kids.

609
00:23:47,828 --> 00:23:49,868
Speaker 9: Who is that? How many? How many likes does he

610
00:23:49,908 --> 00:23:50,508
Speaker 9: have on TikTok?

611
00:23:50,548 --> 00:23:53,148
Speaker 4: I don't care where the heck is Debbie Gibson.

612
00:23:53,308 --> 00:23:55,348
Speaker 9: So that's what I'm thinking, So Rock and Jock that

613
00:23:55,548 --> 00:23:56,428
Speaker 9: that is my choice.

614
00:23:56,468 --> 00:23:58,268
Speaker 10: And if you know, you know I was an MTV

615
00:23:58,428 --> 00:24:01,108

631
00:24:34,868 --> 00:24:36,468
Speaker 5: I might be turning back the clock a little bit here,

632
00:24:36,668 --> 00:24:38,548
Speaker 5: but I'm gonna go back to nineteen eighty five.

633
00:24:39,308 --> 00:24:41,188
Speaker 11: I mean, this show had one name.

634
00:24:41,308 --> 00:24:43,468
Speaker 5: This guy has one name, And if you say this

635
00:24:43,748 --> 00:24:46,908
Speaker 5: to anybody, they know exactly what you mean. Like if

636
00:24:46,908 --> 00:24:48,748
Speaker 5: you're trying to fix something on a whim and you

637
00:24:48,788 --> 00:24:49,868
Speaker 5: don't have all the right materials.

638
00:24:49,988 --> 00:24:51,668
Speaker 11: Just mcgui for Ritt, this was unbelievable.

639
00:24:51,668 --> 00:24:54,468
Speaker 5: The Phoenix Foundation, right, that's who Richard Dean Erson played mcgiver.

640
00:24:54,628 --> 00:24:57,348
Speaker 5: He was a former US Armed Forces Special Forces guy.

641
00:24:57,388 --> 00:25:00,668
Speaker 5: He could build anything, He could create anything. He always

642
00:25:00,708 --> 00:25:03,268
Speaker 5: found himself in these life and dest situations and the

643
00:25:03,308 --> 00:25:04,748
Speaker 5: only way you get out of was to build a

644
00:25:04,748 --> 00:25:05,388
Speaker 5: bazook out of.

645
00:25:05,388 --> 00:25:07,948
Speaker 11: A ten speed and some bubble gun and thirty seconds,

646
00:25:08,548 --> 00:25:09,508
Speaker 11: all with the Swiss Army.

647
00:25:09,908 --> 00:25:11,268
Speaker 8: Like, this guy was so creative.

648
00:25:11,588 --> 00:25:13,228
Speaker 5: I think a lot of head coaches probably feel like

649
00:25:13,268 --> 00:25:15,108
Speaker 5: they have to mcgiver their team as they're going to

650
00:25:15,108 --> 00:25:17,148
Speaker 5: the playoffs sometimes to hold it all together.

651
00:25:17,188 --> 00:25:19,468
Speaker 8: But that show, it just brings back great memories of.

652
00:25:19,428 --> 00:25:21,668
Speaker 5: Watching it with my dad and then just like trying

653
00:25:21,708 --> 00:25:23,668
Speaker 5: to figure out as now you are a dad, you

654
00:25:23,748 --> 00:25:24,908
Speaker 5: have to mcgiver a lot of things.

655
00:25:25,468 --> 00:25:26,988
Speaker 8: You act like you know what you're doing, but we don't.

656
00:25:27,108 --> 00:25:30,028
Speaker 9: Trivia, who is the executive producer of mcguiver?

657
00:25:31,628 --> 00:25:35,268
Speaker 7: Yeah, Sean, it right out of the keats I read.

658
00:25:35,588 --> 00:25:38,068
Speaker 11: I just read Winkler's just read Winkler's memoir.

659
00:25:38,188 --> 00:25:42,548
Speaker 2: There's a whole section on how he produced mcguiver. Love

660
00:25:42,628 --> 00:25:43,148
Speaker 2: that you know that.

661
00:25:43,348 --> 00:25:44,268
Speaker 8: Yeah, it was a great show.

662
00:25:45,828 --> 00:25:48,748
Speaker 3: Also the first name of Ryan Leaf's son, Macgiver. Yeah,

663
00:25:48,788 --> 00:25:53,268
Speaker 3: coming up, I know Trivia as well. Watch could the

664
00:25:53,348 --> 00:25:56,828
Speaker 3: Packers young roster on it? Dude, you probably have never

665
00:25:56,948 --> 00:26:00,028
Speaker 3: heard of mcguiver. I bet how many Packers players would

666
00:26:00,068 --> 00:26:02,308
Speaker 3: know the show mcgiver. Right now, let's ask him how

667
00:26:02,388 --> 00:26:04,748
Speaker 3: how are they actually benefit against the Cowboys this weekend

668
00:26:04,788 --> 00:26:06,748
Speaker 3: in terms of their energy and.

669
00:26:06,828 --> 00:26:08,068
Speaker 11: Jaden Reid fans, we hear you.

670
00:26:08,228 --> 00:26:22,588
Speaker 2: Also, we know we forgot you too, Good Morning Football.

671
00:26:23,468 --> 00:26:27,068
Speaker 3: We've got a huge matchup on Super Wildcard weekend when

672
00:26:27,068 --> 00:26:29,948
Speaker 3: the Cowboys host the Packers. There's a cool Mike McCarthy

673
00:26:29,948 --> 00:26:32,468
Speaker 3: connection there, But this will be a new experience for

674
00:26:32,668 --> 00:26:34,908
Speaker 3: a lot a lot of the guys in Green Bay.

675
00:26:35,108 --> 00:26:37,868
Speaker 3: They are the youngest team to make the playoffs in decades.

676
00:26:38,028 --> 00:26:40,628
Speaker 3: Their coach, Matt Lafleur, spoke about how he's going to

677
00:26:40,668 --> 00:26:42,908
Speaker 3: coach this team up heading into the postseason.

678
00:26:43,548 --> 00:26:45,588
Speaker 13: Yeah, I think it's going to be the same mindset

679
00:26:45,708 --> 00:26:49,268
Speaker 13: that we've had. You can preach that and talk about

680
00:26:49,308 --> 00:26:51,748
Speaker 13: it all the time, but I think there's another thing going,

681
00:26:51,988 --> 00:26:54,708
Speaker 13: you know, actually going and doing it. So I think

682
00:26:54,708 --> 00:26:56,828
Speaker 13: it's going to be just a great experience for our

683
00:26:56,868 --> 00:26:59,428
Speaker 13: guys to go through this, and we're looking forward to

684
00:26:59,468 --> 00:27:01,908
Speaker 13: the challenge. We've got a great opponent at their home

685
00:27:01,948 --> 00:27:04,868
Speaker 13: stadium and they're playing some really good foot right now.

686
00:27:06,028 --> 00:27:09,188
Speaker 3: All right on the surface, blind faith in the youth

687
00:27:09,348 --> 00:27:12,028
Speaker 3: could be an approach that Matt Laflora could take. But Peter,

688
00:27:12,148 --> 00:27:14,948
Speaker 3: when you consider the youth on this Packers roster, can

689
00:27:15,068 --> 00:27:16,668
Speaker 3: you look at it as a good thing when they

690
00:27:16,708 --> 00:27:17,948
Speaker 3: head the Dallas, They don't.

691
00:27:17,828 --> 00:27:20,268
Speaker 9: Know any better. They're going into Dallas.

692
00:27:20,468 --> 00:27:22,748
Speaker 4: These guys have not played in playoff games, They have

693
00:27:22,868 --> 00:27:25,308
Speaker 4: not played in huge college games, they are going into

694
00:27:25,388 --> 00:27:29,908
Speaker 4: this thing and they are completely wide eyed. And guess

695
00:27:29,948 --> 00:27:32,148
Speaker 4: what Laflor's got them playing. I said, they don't play

696
00:27:32,188 --> 00:27:34,148
Speaker 4: in big college cans. Let me talking about the offense specifically,

697
00:27:34,148 --> 00:27:36,268
Speaker 4: and I'm talking about the receiving and tight end group.

698
00:27:36,668 --> 00:27:39,748
Speaker 4: Take a look at the ages of Jordan Love's top

699
00:27:39,988 --> 00:27:43,668
Speaker 4: receivers and targets here. Dontavian Wicks had the two touchdowns

700
00:27:43,708 --> 00:27:44,068
Speaker 4: last week.

701
00:27:44,108 --> 00:27:44,788
Speaker 9: He's twenty two.

702
00:27:44,988 --> 00:27:48,228
Speaker 4: Romeo Doves is twenty three, Tucker Kraft is twenty three,

703
00:27:48,388 --> 00:27:51,348
Speaker 4: Luke Musgrave is twenty three, Jaden Reid is twenty three.

704
00:27:51,428 --> 00:27:53,228
Speaker 2: Christian Watson is the grizzled old.

705
00:27:53,188 --> 00:27:56,908
Speaker 4: Veteran at twenty four, and most of these guys are

706
00:27:56,948 --> 00:27:59,388
Speaker 4: in their first and second years. I gave the stat

707
00:27:59,548 --> 00:28:03,068
Speaker 4: yesterday on the show and this has been confirmed. Fifteen

708
00:28:03,348 --> 00:28:07,668
Speaker 4: different players on the Packers fifty three man roster were

709
00:28:07,708 --> 00:28:11,028
Speaker 4: born after the year two thousand. Think about the year

710
00:28:11,108 --> 00:28:13,348
Speaker 4: two thousand. I think of the year two thousand and

711
00:28:13,428 --> 00:28:15,388
Speaker 4: I have a very vivid memory of where I was

712
00:28:15,468 --> 00:28:19,468
Speaker 4: as an adult. These guys were not born yet, they

713
00:28:19,508 --> 00:28:20,868
Speaker 4: were not on this earth yet.

714
00:28:21,308 --> 00:28:23,628
Speaker 9: We're talking twenty to twenty three years old.

715
00:28:24,068 --> 00:28:26,028
Speaker 7: They don't know any better, and Laflora in a way

716
00:28:26,468 --> 00:28:28,668
Speaker 7: can almost mold them the way he wants.

717
00:28:28,708 --> 00:28:31,108
Speaker 4: They don't have scar tissue of horrible playoff losses a

718
00:28:31,108 --> 00:28:32,948
Speaker 4: couple of years ago to the forty nine ers. They

719
00:28:32,988 --> 00:28:35,748
Speaker 4: don't have scar tissue of being told, yeah, but the

720
00:28:35,868 --> 00:28:38,028
Speaker 4: Dallas Cowboys are eight and zero at home and they

721
00:28:38,108 --> 00:28:38,588
Speaker 4: can't loot.

722
00:28:39,028 --> 00:28:40,148
Speaker 9: This team is going in there.

723
00:28:40,348 --> 00:28:42,148
Speaker 4: I didn't say they snuck in the playoffs, but I'll

724
00:28:42,188 --> 00:28:44,988
Speaker 4: say this. Three weeks ago, not everyone had the Packers

725
00:28:45,028 --> 00:28:46,388
Speaker 4: going to the playoffs, and they come in as one

726
00:28:46,388 --> 00:28:49,108
Speaker 4: of the hottest teams. An awesome New Year's Eve victory,

727
00:28:49,228 --> 00:28:52,108
Speaker 4: an awesome win against the Chicago Bears, despite Kyle Brandt's

728
00:28:52,308 --> 00:28:56,108
Speaker 4: riveting speech to Justin Fields on Friday, which got fifteen

729
00:28:56,548 --> 00:29:00,628
Speaker 4: thousand retweets because it was so good and so inspirational Chicago.

730
00:29:00,828 --> 00:29:03,268
Speaker 4: Those Packers guys probably watched it and said, who's that guy?

731
00:29:03,508 --> 00:29:04,228
Speaker 11: Who's that team?

732
00:29:04,548 --> 00:29:05,068
Speaker 8: What do we care?

733
00:29:05,148 --> 00:29:07,308
Speaker 4: We're gonna go win and take care of business at Lambeau,

734
00:29:07,388 --> 00:29:07,908
Speaker 4: which they did.

735
00:29:07,988 --> 00:29:09,468
Speaker 9: I think it is a good thing. We got to

736
00:29:09,508 --> 00:29:10,028
Speaker 9: make picks.

737
00:29:10,268 --> 00:29:12,468
Speaker 4: Obviously, Cowboys fans think I'm a Cowboys hater, as if

738
00:29:12,508 --> 00:29:14,108
Speaker 4: I'm like Steven a or someone like this, and I

739
00:29:14,188 --> 00:29:15,428
Speaker 4: get like it throws off this thing.

740
00:29:16,108 --> 00:29:18,108
Speaker 9: I don't know if I'm picking against this Packers.

741
00:29:18,668 --> 00:29:21,468
Speaker 4: I think they are so young and so free and

742
00:29:21,588 --> 00:29:23,908
Speaker 4: playing with such little baggage that they can go in

743
00:29:23,948 --> 00:29:25,868
Speaker 4: there and say, let's shock the world. Why not?

744
00:29:26,028 --> 00:29:26,548
Speaker 8: We can do it?

745
00:29:26,668 --> 00:29:28,308
Speaker 4: And I don't know there's a quarterback in football playing

746
00:29:28,348 --> 00:29:29,308
Speaker 4: better than Jordan Love right now.

747
00:29:29,628 --> 00:29:31,508
Speaker 3: In along that line, I feel like the Cowboys. They

748
00:29:31,548 --> 00:29:34,868
Speaker 3: have the ultimate bagage. They got suitcases on suitcases, they

749
00:29:35,028 --> 00:29:36,108
Speaker 3: check everything.

750
00:29:35,828 --> 00:29:38,028
Speaker 11: On their race, the coaches on the hot sety. They

751
00:29:38,028 --> 00:29:38,428
Speaker 11: don't win.

752
00:29:38,588 --> 00:29:41,068
Speaker 4: The quarterback can't win a big game. You haven't lost

753
00:29:41,108 --> 00:29:43,468
Speaker 4: at home all season. The path is there.

754
00:29:44,548 --> 00:29:45,468
Speaker 8: You're the oversize.

755
00:29:45,628 --> 00:29:45,828
Speaker 11: Yes.

756
00:29:46,268 --> 00:29:49,748
Speaker 4: Packers come in zero buzz, zero expectations, and a team

757
00:29:49,788 --> 00:29:51,948
Speaker 4: that nobody had going to the playoffs for the season exact.

758
00:29:52,028 --> 00:29:54,508
Speaker 9: I love their I love their young little receiving squad too.

759
00:29:54,508 --> 00:29:54,948
Speaker 9: They're fun.

760
00:29:55,068 --> 00:29:57,188
Speaker 10: Guys are playing so fun and their ball and I

761
00:29:57,228 --> 00:29:58,668
Speaker 10: love you. So you just got your book bad when

762
00:29:58,668 --> 00:30:00,188
Speaker 10: you're going to airport for a fifteen day.

763
00:30:00,108 --> 00:30:00,868
Speaker 11: Trip or something like that.

764
00:30:01,348 --> 00:30:03,828
Speaker 10: I look at this team and you talk about the playoffs.

765
00:30:03,828 --> 00:30:06,668
Speaker 10: I remember from it took ten years of playing experience

766
00:30:06,708 --> 00:30:08,588
Speaker 10: to finally be able to get in the playoffs and

767
00:30:08,668 --> 00:30:10,548
Speaker 10: see what that's like. And I remember the week leading

768
00:30:10,628 --> 00:30:12,508
Speaker 10: up to it, Belichick got in front of us and

769
00:30:12,548 --> 00:30:14,628
Speaker 10: he would say, everybody talks about this time of the

770
00:30:14,748 --> 00:30:18,468
Speaker 10: year and how important experiences. Having guys that have been

771
00:30:18,508 --> 00:30:20,188
Speaker 10: through have been to the playoffs, been through so well.

772
00:30:20,388 --> 00:30:25,028
Speaker 10: He said, it doesn't mean ylife, doesn't mean anything. His

773
00:30:25,108 --> 00:30:27,788
Speaker 10: whole thing was, who cares how many playoff games you've played?

774
00:30:27,828 --> 00:30:28,468
Speaker 11: In super Bowls?

775
00:30:28,508 --> 00:30:30,348
Speaker 10: All this down and the third If you're not better

776
00:30:30,428 --> 00:30:32,148
Speaker 10: than your opponent on Sunday, it.

777
00:30:32,268 --> 00:30:34,068
Speaker 11: Means absolutely nothing.

778
00:30:34,308 --> 00:30:37,028
Speaker 10: For this young Packers team, It's about going out there,

779
00:30:37,348 --> 00:30:38,628
Speaker 10: having fun and competing.

780
00:30:38,908 --> 00:30:42,108
Speaker 11: Now they are very young. Strenger showed you that receiving

781
00:30:42,148 --> 00:30:43,508
Speaker 11: group and their ages of their team.

782
00:30:44,428 --> 00:30:47,068
Speaker 10: The optimum goal is to have a nice mix of

783
00:30:47,148 --> 00:30:49,668
Speaker 10: those young guys also with some veterans on that team.

784
00:30:49,868 --> 00:30:52,188
Speaker 10: Look at a guy like Aaron Jones who has been around.

785
00:30:52,268 --> 00:30:54,428
Speaker 10: He was there with Rogers, he saw what some of

786
00:30:54,468 --> 00:30:57,228
Speaker 10: those things look like. Even a Jordan Love experienced so

787
00:30:57,388 --> 00:30:59,308
Speaker 10: much in his young career because.

788
00:30:59,068 --> 00:31:00,548
Speaker 11: He's had to sit down and just watch.

789
00:31:00,588 --> 00:31:03,468
Speaker 10: Aaron Rodgers comes in as a first round drafting expected

790
00:31:03,508 --> 00:31:06,668
Speaker 10: to go out there write a Devondre Campbell, Press the Smith.

791
00:31:06,908 --> 00:31:09,148
Speaker 11: These are guys that have been around the NFL for

792
00:31:09,268 --> 00:31:10,028
Speaker 11: a long time.

793
00:31:10,308 --> 00:31:12,388
Speaker 10: So when you have those young guys who are showing up,

794
00:31:12,468 --> 00:31:15,628
Speaker 10: why I don't you have those presences where they can

795
00:31:15,708 --> 00:31:18,428
Speaker 10: settle everybody down and bring peace amongst the group. But

796
00:31:18,548 --> 00:31:20,788
Speaker 10: at the same time, we're young guns and we're going

797
00:31:20,828 --> 00:31:22,868
Speaker 10: out there to destroy everything and we could care less

798
00:31:23,148 --> 00:31:24,828
Speaker 10: about what transpired in the past.

799
00:31:25,028 --> 00:31:27,228
Speaker 11: We can care less about Aaron Rodgers stuff, this, that,

800
00:31:27,268 --> 00:31:27,748
Speaker 11: and the third.

801
00:31:27,948 --> 00:31:30,228
Speaker 10: We're just going out there and we're trying to play

802
00:31:30,508 --> 00:31:33,148
Speaker 10: ball and get a victory. And they're a fun team

803
00:31:33,188 --> 00:31:35,268
Speaker 10: to watch because of that. They're a young group that

804
00:31:35,348 --> 00:31:37,908
Speaker 10: has probably geled together to hang out on the field

805
00:31:38,028 --> 00:31:39,868
Speaker 10: off the field, and they have built a bond through that.

806
00:31:40,108 --> 00:31:41,628
Speaker 10: So they're gonna be excited to watch as they go

807
00:31:41,828 --> 00:31:43,268
Speaker 10: on the road and try to get a victory.

808
00:31:43,308 --> 00:31:43,468
Speaker 11: Yeah.

809
00:31:43,468 --> 00:31:45,508
Speaker 5: I know we're talking about age, and I look at

810
00:31:45,548 --> 00:31:48,148
Speaker 5: it differently. I look at it from an energy standpoint, Like,

811
00:31:48,628 --> 00:31:50,388
Speaker 5: you love the young guys on your team because they

812
00:31:50,428 --> 00:31:52,228
Speaker 5: bring the funk, they bring the energy, and they bring

813
00:31:52,308 --> 00:31:54,868
Speaker 5: the possessed. Now, you need a couple of old souls

814
00:31:54,908 --> 00:31:56,388
Speaker 5: to kind of let them know, like, hey, young buck,

815
00:31:57,028 --> 00:31:58,828
Speaker 5: don't use it all up in the first half. Settle down,

816
00:31:59,268 --> 00:32:01,828
Speaker 5: Like this is a long game and the postseason is

817
00:32:01,868 --> 00:32:03,948
Speaker 5: a long stretch. We've already been through the regular season,

818
00:32:04,148 --> 00:32:05,628
Speaker 5: Like now we've got to crank it up. So it's

819
00:32:05,668 --> 00:32:08,988
Speaker 5: all about energy manufacturing. But I also think, like the

820
00:32:09,068 --> 00:32:11,188
Speaker 5: age thing, once the game starts, like okay, that goes

821
00:32:11,228 --> 00:32:13,668
Speaker 5: out the window here, all right. It's the pressure and

822
00:32:13,868 --> 00:32:15,948
Speaker 5: young players sometimes they don't even know how they're going

823
00:32:15,988 --> 00:32:17,428
Speaker 5: to respond over it because maybe this is the first

824
00:32:17,428 --> 00:32:19,068
Speaker 5: time they're playing in a playoff game, maybe the first

825
00:32:19,108 --> 00:32:20,788
Speaker 5: time they've been on this big stage. But I also

826
00:32:20,868 --> 00:32:22,788
Speaker 5: look at the pressure from a coach standpoint. I look

827
00:32:22,788 --> 00:32:24,788
Speaker 5: at the floor right now. Look the last couple of

828
00:32:24,788 --> 00:32:26,748
Speaker 5: times he was in the playoffs, they were thirteen and three.

829
00:32:26,868 --> 00:32:29,308
Speaker 5: The pressure was on them to win. The pressure is

830
00:32:29,348 --> 00:32:31,268
Speaker 5: off right now, like nobody expected them to even be

831
00:32:31,348 --> 00:32:34,188
Speaker 5: in this dance right now, let alone go into Dallas

832
00:32:34,268 --> 00:32:35,588
Speaker 5: right now and get to win. So the pressure right

833
00:32:35,628 --> 00:32:37,348
Speaker 5: now is on the Dallas Cowboys. I think that's a

834
00:32:37,388 --> 00:32:39,628
Speaker 5: big factor as well as the age. But I love

835
00:32:39,748 --> 00:32:42,108
Speaker 5: young guys, young players at this point in the season

836
00:32:42,188 --> 00:32:44,428
Speaker 5: right now, they've had the fresh springs. They're the ones

837
00:32:44,468 --> 00:32:46,508
Speaker 5: that are coming with all the energy, bringing the funk.

838
00:32:46,548 --> 00:32:49,348
Speaker 5: So can you guys floors leading on with those guys.

839
00:32:49,188 --> 00:32:50,388
Speaker 9: I was gonna say, you mentioned Lafloor.

840
00:32:50,508 --> 00:32:52,308
Speaker 4: So we did the coach of the Year debate Jason

841
00:32:52,308 --> 00:32:55,228
Speaker 4: and I yesterday and I said it love Demko, loves Stefanski.

842
00:32:55,268 --> 00:32:56,308
Speaker 9: I'm going Stefanski.

843
00:32:56,628 --> 00:32:58,708
Speaker 4: And we got a lot of responses from green Baby

844
00:32:58,748 --> 00:33:01,708
Speaker 4: and like, no one mentions what Lafloor just did. Is

845
00:33:01,788 --> 00:33:04,748
Speaker 4: lafleour worthy of Coach of the Year candidacy during what

846
00:33:04,828 --> 00:33:07,028
Speaker 4: he did with that young team in the post Rogers era,

847
00:33:07,148 --> 00:33:10,028
Speaker 4: And this is pretty amazing, youngest team in football to

848
00:33:10,108 --> 00:33:12,548
Speaker 4: go to the playoffs in like forty years.

849
00:33:12,668 --> 00:33:15,148
Speaker 5: I think Jordan Love is the first one to do

850
00:33:15,268 --> 00:33:17,268
Speaker 5: it right. Like Farv didn't do it his first year start,

851
00:33:17,428 --> 00:33:18,708
Speaker 5: Rodgers didn't do it his first year starter.

852
00:33:18,868 --> 00:33:19,308
Speaker 2: Love goes.

853
00:33:19,548 --> 00:33:21,588
Speaker 5: I think the fact that Love's not a rookie to me,

854
00:33:21,748 --> 00:33:24,588
Speaker 5: I think that's why I would say Demiko going over.

855
00:33:24,948 --> 00:33:27,588
Speaker 5: And then with Stefanski, I think he went through to

856
00:33:27,628 --> 00:33:30,908
Speaker 5: Shawn Now I miss Chill Flacco. So yeah, I like

857
00:33:31,028 --> 00:33:34,748
Speaker 5: Demiko first time head coach and CJ. Stroud what he's

858
00:33:34,828 --> 00:33:38,308
Speaker 5: done just five interceptions as a rookie. That to me,

859
00:33:38,388 --> 00:33:38,828
Speaker 5: Trump's it.

860
00:33:39,068 --> 00:33:40,828
Speaker 10: Yeah, there's so many guys, but it's like, at the

861
00:33:40,868 --> 00:33:42,908
Speaker 10: same time, you got to choose one, and I think

862
00:33:43,188 --> 00:33:45,628
Speaker 10: the case that those other guys bring. I think it

863
00:33:45,788 --> 00:33:47,948
Speaker 10: superseeds what Lafloora did as well as good as it

864
00:33:47,988 --> 00:33:48,228
Speaker 10: has been.

865
00:33:48,388 --> 00:33:51,708
Speaker 3: I love Super Wildcard weekend because it reminds me of

866
00:33:51,748 --> 00:33:54,548
Speaker 3: the nc DOABA basketball tournament, Like it's just roll the

867
00:33:54,628 --> 00:33:57,588
Speaker 3: ball out and play. You've got the better teams waiting

868
00:33:57,708 --> 00:33:59,748
Speaker 3: for you on the other side of the bracket. The

869
00:33:59,868 --> 00:34:01,868
Speaker 3: Ravens are just watching, the forty nine ers are watching.

870
00:34:02,308 --> 00:34:04,388
Speaker 3: Last year, I was in Columbus, Ohio for the NCADL

871
00:34:04,668 --> 00:34:08,748
Speaker 3: tournament and the FAU the Florida Atlantic Owls, who you

872
00:34:08,828 --> 00:34:11,148
Speaker 3: ended up watching go through Madison Square guarded and make

873
00:34:11,228 --> 00:34:13,108
Speaker 3: it to the final four. I have them in their

874
00:34:13,148 --> 00:34:16,028
Speaker 3: first win against Memphis and their second one against FTU.

875
00:34:16,468 --> 00:34:19,188
Speaker 3: That coach, his name is Dusty May. Okay, Dusty May.

876
00:34:19,348 --> 00:34:22,908
Speaker 3: He had this group of FAU Owls, transfers guys that

877
00:34:23,268 --> 00:34:25,708
Speaker 3: you know, let's be honest with FAU basketball. At the time,

878
00:34:25,868 --> 00:34:28,228
Speaker 3: you're not getting like the Indiana cast offs, Like you're

879
00:34:28,308 --> 00:34:31,148
Speaker 3: just like these guys were piecemeal together. And I remember

880
00:34:31,228 --> 00:34:32,868
Speaker 3: him at the shoot around the day before being like,

881
00:34:32,948 --> 00:34:35,028
Speaker 3: I don't barely want them to shoot here because they're

882
00:34:35,068 --> 00:34:37,828
Speaker 3: looking at the bands. They're looking at Memphis band and

883
00:34:37,868 --> 00:34:39,548
Speaker 3: they're like what is going on? Because they get forty

884
00:34:39,588 --> 00:34:42,268
Speaker 3: five minutes before. Dusty May, though, was a Bob Knight disciple,

885
00:34:42,428 --> 00:34:46,588
Speaker 3: and so he knew how to bring this group of youthful, energetic,

886
00:34:46,908 --> 00:34:49,308
Speaker 3: wide eyed guys in and he almost like kept their

887
00:34:49,388 --> 00:34:51,548
Speaker 3: eyes down. And then the ball starts. The ball gets

888
00:34:51,588 --> 00:34:53,148
Speaker 3: rolled out and tipped and played, and they're just like,

889
00:34:53,188 --> 00:34:55,748
Speaker 3: beat Memphis, They beat FDU, Tennessee, Kansas State, they go

890
00:34:55,788 --> 00:34:57,788
Speaker 3: to the Final four. This fantastic story. But I remember

891
00:34:57,988 --> 00:35:00,668
Speaker 3: it's the experience of the coach and how he can

892
00:35:00,748 --> 00:35:02,948
Speaker 3: really put that upon a young team.

893
00:35:03,068 --> 00:35:04,948
Speaker 8: I'll bet on any coach named Usk any day.

894
00:35:05,028 --> 00:35:07,828
Speaker 3: Dusty May. And then they signed. They were like, he's gone,

895
00:35:07,868 --> 00:35:10,028
Speaker 3: He's no. Dusty May signed a long time. But having

896
00:35:10,428 --> 00:35:11,308
Speaker 3: kept her Green.

897
00:35:11,188 --> 00:35:15,748
Speaker 4: Bay Packers and Owls, let's go talk about legendary franchises.
