Speaker 1: you like turnovers and big plays and field goals, Monday

18
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:09,440
Speaker 1: Night was your night. The Chargers beat the Eagles twenty

19
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:13,440
Speaker 1: two to nineteen. LA improves to nine and four, Philadelphia

20
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:17,160
Speaker 1: drops to eight and five. Jalen Hurts is intercepted for

21
00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:19,800
Speaker 1: the fourth time of the night, a ball he tried

22
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:24,520
Speaker 1: to sneak in to Dotson that was better left, not thrown.

23
00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:28,959
Speaker 1: And the Eagles go down to defeat, and now you're

24
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:32,240
Speaker 1: wondering can they even hold on to the NFC East?

25
00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:34,560
Speaker 1: Now Dallas is going, Man, if we had just able

26
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:37,360
Speaker 1: to win, if we get a beaten Detroit, but there's

27
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:40,360
Speaker 1: still a lot. You're talking about four games left, man,

28
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:44,880
Speaker 1: and the Eagles are just completely on vapors now, and

29
00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:48,960
Speaker 1: it's tough to watch the defending champs, who have such

30
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:52,720
Speaker 1: a talented roster go the way they're going. But luckily,

31
00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:57,320
Speaker 1: Mike Harmon, I can solve all the eagles problems right now.

32
00:01:57,360 --> 00:01:59,080
Speaker 1: You can solve their problems.

33
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:03,680
Speaker 3: Yes, you are the figurative Jeff Goldbloom in this situation.

34
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:07,120
Speaker 1: We're off to see the Wizard. Oh, either gonna say

35
00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:09,480
Speaker 1: like Life finds Away like Jurassic Park. Oh, we can

36
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:12,520
Speaker 1: do that too, Life finds Away.

37
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:14,600
Speaker 3: He was he might have actually been construed as a

38
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:15,959
Speaker 3: good guy at a grand scale.

39
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:18,200
Speaker 1: There, all right, right, let me go otherwise, I you know,

40
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:19,839
Speaker 1: I don't know. Let me go back to the fly

41
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:21,880
Speaker 1: where he was a good guy and a bad guy.

42
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:25,560
Speaker 1: There you go, brundle sides of the Brundle fly fuses

43
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:30,760
Speaker 1: with pod. Oh no, that was kind of like if

44
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:33,399
Speaker 1: Harvey Kaitel was a dinosaur and he was mad.

45
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:37,720
Speaker 4: I'm sorry, I hurts to his teammates. Let through so

46
00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:39,320
Speaker 4: many bad pics.

47
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:47,239
Speaker 1: Now sorry, How can I solve the Eagles problems? Welcome

48
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:52,320
Speaker 1: to the Miami Dolphins. Wait what trading with the Dolphins?

49
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:52,480
Speaker 4: No?

50
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:56,640
Speaker 1: No, no, no, no, no no. The Dolphins hold the

51
00:02:56,720 --> 00:03:00,560
Speaker 1: key to what the Eagles need to do. Right. Dolphins.

52
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:03,680
Speaker 1: Yesterday they thumped the Jets right, a game in which

53
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:06,359
Speaker 1: the Jets clearly weren't ready. I don't know if they

54
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:09,440
Speaker 1: practiced all week. It's twenty one to nothing midway through

55
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:12,919
Speaker 1: the first quarter, and suddenly CBS is running the stats.

56
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:14,600
Speaker 1: When's the last time a team was up this big?

57
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:16,760
Speaker 1: The team scored twenty eight points in the first quarter.

58
00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:20,600
Speaker 1: It was absolutely a blow Again. I don't feel like

59
00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:23,760
Speaker 1: the Jets knew anything that the Dolphins were trying to do.

60
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:27,359
Speaker 1: And all the Dolphins did was just give the ball

61
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:30,720
Speaker 1: to Devon eight Chan and right a little bit of

62
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:33,680
Speaker 1: Oli Gordon later on, and they just ran the ball

63
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:36,680
Speaker 1: and ran over the Jets. That's all they did was

64
00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:39,120
Speaker 1: run the football. I saw the stop.

65
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:39,520
Speaker 4: Stop.

66
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:42,800
Speaker 3: He's already dead. Guy way too. Oh yeah, it was

67
00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:45,360
Speaker 3: really early too. I'm like, wait, yeah, eight minutes to

68
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:48,320
Speaker 3: go in the first quarter. Game was over, right, But

69
00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:51,400
Speaker 3: this is about the Dolphins. The Dolphins who started out

70
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:55,440
Speaker 3: one and six, it was over. McDaniel was getting fired

71
00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:57,240
Speaker 3: to it was going to be on a new team.

72
00:03:57,800 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 3: It was about as bad as it could be for

73
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:03,400
Speaker 3: Miami because everything was coming apart. It was going to

74
00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:07,200
Speaker 3: be a new regime in next year. Everything was going

75
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:11,160
Speaker 3: to be new. Now what's Miami done? Now they're six

76
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:14,120
Speaker 3: and seven, all right, they have figured out a way

77
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:17,320
Speaker 3: back into the back end of the playoff chase. Now

78
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:20,680
Speaker 3: they've won four in a row and five out of six. Okay,

79
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:22,120
Speaker 3: what have they done?

80
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:27,039
Speaker 1: They did exactly what the Eagles need to do. And

81
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:29,320
Speaker 1: it's a tough decision because you know, the Dolphins is

82
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:31,719
Speaker 1: kind of easy because look, we're terrible in one and six,

83
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:34,720
Speaker 1: Eagles are the champs. The Dolphins went from we were

84
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:40,159
Speaker 1: a high octane offense with Waddle and Tyreek Hill and Tua.

85
00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:42,720
Speaker 1: We still believe in Tua even though you know they don't. Yeah,

86
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:43,800
Speaker 1: Johnny Smith.

87
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:45,240
Speaker 3: With eighty eighth.

88
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:47,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, once upon a time, you know, and we have

89
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:48,880
Speaker 1: you know, and a Chan is a great running back

90
00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:50,359
Speaker 1: and we can you know, he's part of what we

91
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:51,800
Speaker 1: have going on. But we are going to be a

92
00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:54,000
Speaker 1: high octane offense going up and down the field. Well

93
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:58,040
Speaker 1: what happened. Tyreek Kill got hurt, and Mike McDaniel, I

94
00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:00,760
Speaker 1: give I give the guy credit because now not only

95
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:03,640
Speaker 1: he saved his career at Miami, he saved two his

96
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:08,000
Speaker 1: career in Miami, he saved their season. He decided we

97
00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:10,400
Speaker 1: need to change who we are. We're not gonna win

98
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:12,800
Speaker 1: that way, because they weren't going to win that way anyway.

99
00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:16,000
Speaker 1: Before Tyreek Hill got hurt, you could see two of

100
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:19,320
Speaker 1: the Dolphins got figured out as good as they were

101
00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:22,719
Speaker 1: fifteen months ago, they got figured out we need to

102
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:26,000
Speaker 1: become a run first football team. And for a Miami

103
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:29,200
Speaker 1: Dolphin team, that the leg you know, their hallmark has

104
00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:32,040
Speaker 1: always been we're throwing the football, right, no matter what

105
00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:35,039
Speaker 1: kind of situation, whatever kind of team they have, they're

106
00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:37,480
Speaker 1: always a team that throws the football. No, we are

107
00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:39,760
Speaker 1: going to become a ball control team. We have the

108
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:42,480
Speaker 1: horses offensively to do this. And two was going to

109
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:45,320
Speaker 1: become a game manager and he can still make plays

110
00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:47,600
Speaker 1: once in a while, which he did right. He made

111
00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:49,880
Speaker 1: the big throw for a touchdown in the first quarter yesterday,

112
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:52,240
Speaker 1: made a couple of throws at Jalen Waddle. But this

113
00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:54,360
Speaker 1: was a Dolphins team that ran for two hundred and

114
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:56,960
Speaker 1: eighty yards and eight chan before he left. He could

115
00:05:56,960 --> 00:05:58,760
Speaker 1: have gone back in the game, but McDaniel said there

116
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:00,800
Speaker 1: was no reason to because you have to worry about it.

117
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:02,760
Speaker 1: If we were running all over the Jets, didn't matter

118
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:04,680
Speaker 1: who was running with us. Ricky Williams could have been

119
00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:06,960
Speaker 1: running the football. He's fifty years old, and we would

120
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:08,719
Speaker 1: have been able to have this kind of success against

121
00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:11,360
Speaker 1: the Jets. That's all we did, right, Jalen Wrights, you're

122
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:13,800
Speaker 1: leading Rushia. Yesterday he didn't get a carry until the

123
00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:15,839
Speaker 1: second quarter, ran for one hundred yards. Right, He had

124
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:18,560
Speaker 1: eight chan for ninety two you had. Gordon had seventeen

125
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:22,360
Speaker 1: in a touchdown. This is what the Dolphins did. They

126
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:25,440
Speaker 1: turned themselves into a ball control. We're going to run

127
00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:29,000
Speaker 1: the football first, and we're taking our identity and we're

128
00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:31,560
Speaker 1: changing it and we're changing from the throw first team

129
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:34,440
Speaker 1: that we are to this hey pinball team. We're gonna

130
00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:36,800
Speaker 1: light at the scoreboard and look what it's done. The

131
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:39,200
Speaker 1: Dolphins now have fought their way back in the back

132
00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:43,120
Speaker 1: end of contention. Right, they're six and seven. The Eagles

133
00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:45,880
Speaker 1: need to do the exact same sixty seven six seven

134
00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:47,840
Speaker 1: six seven, right, six seven had to do it, and

135
00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:50,279
Speaker 1: now the Eagles need to do the same thing. We

136
00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:53,640
Speaker 1: talked about this earlier in the show What's Been, but

137
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:57,200
Speaker 1: for a different reason. The Eagles coming into this year,

138
00:06:57,320 --> 00:06:59,320
Speaker 1: you knew it wasn't going to be a Saquon Barkley

139
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:01,680
Speaker 1: heavy year for most part because Barkley, with all the

140
00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:04,479
Speaker 1: carries coming off last year, you just don't have the

141
00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:07,000
Speaker 1: same kind of year. And Barkley has not been that guy.

142
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:10,160
Speaker 1: The Eagles have tried for a long time to try

143
00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:12,480
Speaker 1: to say, Okay, Jalen Hurts is gonna solve our problems.

144
00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:14,320
Speaker 1: We are gonna throw the football up and down the field.

145
00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:16,320
Speaker 1: We have the guys to do it, right. God, it's

146
00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:19,080
Speaker 1: a great tight end. We're gonna get aj Brown on track,

147
00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:21,680
Speaker 1: DeVante Smith is a great weapon. We're gonna find a

148
00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:23,360
Speaker 1: way to do it. Man, I don't care what. We

149
00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:26,320
Speaker 1: are gonna find a way to do it. And after

150
00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:30,040
Speaker 1: all these weeks into week thirteen, they still can't do

151
00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:34,280
Speaker 1: it right. Different reports about how much Jalen Hurts is

152
00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:36,760
Speaker 1: liked or not liked on the team, how much they

153
00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:39,240
Speaker 1: don't like or don't like, like or don't like each other,

154
00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:42,080
Speaker 1: how much they like or don't like Nick Sirianni, whatever

155
00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:45,000
Speaker 1: control Nick Sirianni has with the team, with the with

156
00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:48,560
Speaker 1: the offense when they throw the football, maybe or maybe not,

157
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:52,000
Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts is changing plays and and going rogue. We

158
00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:54,440
Speaker 1: had that report a couple of weeks ago. However, you

159
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:58,000
Speaker 1: want to shake it, shake it up. Going Jalen Hurts

160
00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:00,360
Speaker 1: driven is not working. They tried to make it work

161
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:02,320
Speaker 1: because you thought you had to. Well, he's our quarterback,

162
00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:05,000
Speaker 1: we're paying him, He's won a super Bowl. Now this

163
00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:07,960
Speaker 1: is he is. He is that good. But it's not working.

164
00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:10,280
Speaker 1: They give plenty of chances to do it. You have

165
00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:13,520
Speaker 1: to get back to being Saquon Barkley driven. Now It's okay, Saquon.

166
00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:15,960
Speaker 1: We haven't had the same kind of workload we gave

167
00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:18,360
Speaker 1: you last year because we've been a different team and

168
00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:20,600
Speaker 1: we know that you're not that guy. But now that

169
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:23,600
Speaker 1: we're into December, that's who you have to be. That's

170
00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:25,800
Speaker 1: who we have to be. They have to be Saquon

171
00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:28,200
Speaker 1: Barkley driven. And what did they do tonight? They gave

172
00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:30,280
Speaker 1: the ball to Saquon Barkley a lot, had the big

173
00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:33,920
Speaker 1: touchdown run. If you're Saquon Barkley driven, I can buy

174
00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:36,760
Speaker 1: back in on the on the Eagles because their roster

175
00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:39,760
Speaker 1: is just that talented. The rest of the offense and defensively.

176
00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:42,360
Speaker 1: If they can become more of a team like the

177
00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:45,080
Speaker 1: Dolphins where it Hurtz becomes a game manager, and you're

178
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:48,000
Speaker 1: Saquon Barkley driven, then I can believe in you because

179
00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:51,120
Speaker 1: I know I've seen Barkley do it. And after having

180
00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:55,000
Speaker 1: not and after having a first twelve or thirteen weeks

181
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:57,960
Speaker 1: where not as many carries, you're as fresh as you're

182
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:00,160
Speaker 1: gonna be at this point, and Barkley running up and

183
00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:03,439
Speaker 1: down the sideline after that big fifty yard touchdown run. Okay,

184
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:06,240
Speaker 1: let's be Saquon Barkley driven. What did the Eagles not

185
00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:08,160
Speaker 1: do in the rest of the fourth court in overtime?

186
00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:10,960
Speaker 1: Give the ball to Saquon Barkley and what happened? You

187
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:14,120
Speaker 1: have Jalen Hurts coming off a no touchdown for interception

188
00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:17,360
Speaker 1: performance and Saquon Barkley running for one hundred yards the

189
00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:20,679
Speaker 1: big go ahead touchdown. If this doesn't tell you we

190
00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:23,440
Speaker 1: have to change our philosophy and change who we are,

191
00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:27,320
Speaker 1: nothing else does. No scores, four picks for Jalen Hurts,

192
00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:30,400
Speaker 1: one hundred yards and a touchdown for Barkley. If they

193
00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:32,240
Speaker 1: are Barkley driven the rest of the way, I will

194
00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:34,160
Speaker 1: buy back in on the Eagles. I will get back

195
00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:35,920
Speaker 1: into them being a team that can cause damage in

196
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:38,960
Speaker 1: the playoffs because there's no great team anywhere, not in

197
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:41,600
Speaker 1: the NFC, not in the AFC. I will buy back in.

198
00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:43,600
Speaker 1: But this is the game that shows you they have

199
00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:46,080
Speaker 1: to do it, because you see, Hey, if the Eagles

200
00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:48,520
Speaker 1: keep trying to tread this and go on this line

201
00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:50,200
Speaker 1: of yeah, we're gonna throw the football a ton and

202
00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:52,520
Speaker 1: still try to make it work with Hurts and Brown

203
00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:55,040
Speaker 1: and DeVante Smith, you've tried it way too much. It's

204
00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:57,880
Speaker 1: not working to be the offense you were last year.

205
00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:00,360
Speaker 1: Because Barkley covered a lot of issues last year, covered

206
00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:02,120
Speaker 1: a lot of problems with the Eagles. Still had problems

207
00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:05,240
Speaker 1: offensively last year, but Barkley running for two thousand yards,

208
00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:06,880
Speaker 1: you're able to cover up a lot usually it's the

209
00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:09,480
Speaker 1: quarterback that covers up a lot of ills. Barkley coming

210
00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:12,439
Speaker 1: in the personality that he was. Everybody loves Saquon Barkley.

211
00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:14,839
Speaker 1: It was a great moment in time. Eagles have to

212
00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:17,040
Speaker 1: draw back on that formula, and I'll buy back in.

213
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:21,839
Speaker 3: Yeah, we've talked a lot about the continuity, consistency, leadership

214
00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:24,160
Speaker 3: in the locker room, all of those things with Jay Glazer,

215
00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:28,599
Speaker 3: me and Cosell on Sunday Mornings a little bit, and

216
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:31,640
Speaker 3: you and I certainly have tossed this one back and

217
00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:35,280
Speaker 3: forth like a medicine ball in a big workout, oftentimes

218
00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:37,600
Speaker 3: trying to figure out exactly what we're doing here because

219
00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:40,640
Speaker 3: you've had the injuries on the offensive line. Obviously you

220
00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:44,000
Speaker 3: lose Jason Kelsey. He's hanging out in the podcast land

221
00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:48,080
Speaker 3: with his multi million dollar deal and all, and I'm

222
00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:50,480
Speaker 3: sure they wish he was back there as an anchor

223
00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:52,280
Speaker 3: and a locker room guy and all of that stuff

224
00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:55,320
Speaker 3: to kind of solidify. But we haven't seen the same

225
00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:58,240
Speaker 3: explosion off the line by the front five, right, so

226
00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:01,560
Speaker 3: we haven't had that. Jalen Hurts is right now in

227
00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:05,400
Speaker 3: half his yardage that he had rushing the football last year,

228
00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:07,800
Speaker 3: his passing numbers very much in line with what he

229
00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:10,440
Speaker 3: put across for a full season and what he played

230
00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:13,160
Speaker 3: last year. Last year had eighteen touchdowns against five picks,

231
00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:17,200
Speaker 3: basically at that same line at this point. Now he

232
00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:20,080
Speaker 3: goes over to the sixth pick with that game sealer.

233
00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:23,360
Speaker 3: But we watched them move the ball and actually commit

234
00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:25,560
Speaker 3: to say Kwan Barker, because we watched that. Over the

235
00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:28,079
Speaker 3: course of the season as well, you had a number

236
00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:30,240
Speaker 3: of games where he didn't get to double digit touches.

237
00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:33,680
Speaker 3: It hasn't been as active in the passing game, but

238
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:36,960
Speaker 3: certainly from a rushing perspective, they haven't tried to set

239
00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:40,120
Speaker 3: up balance. Hell I would have excused it even if

240
00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:42,640
Speaker 3: they brought in Tank Bigsby, who they traded for somebody

241
00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:44,160
Speaker 3: else had tried to run the ball. But they haven't

242
00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:48,080
Speaker 3: even done that. Hurts tonight four carries eight yards. Right,

243
00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:48,920
Speaker 3: you're not even.

244
00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:52,080
Speaker 4: Using what was a big part that helped make him.

245
00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:54,720
Speaker 3: Super a little bit more, especially kind of like we're

246
00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:59,400
Speaker 3: watching the diminished versions physically of Lamar Jackson and some

247
00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:02,320
Speaker 3: of these other quarterbatch Right, you're seeing more scrambles from

248
00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:05,400
Speaker 3: Patrick Mahoons, still seeing the Superman cape come out for

249
00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:07,880
Speaker 3: Josh Allen, but for Jalen Hurts, we're not seeing that,

250
00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:11,679
Speaker 3: and not even the tush push being utilized to the

251
00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:14,400
Speaker 3: same level of effectiveness. Remember the bear stole the ball

252
00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:17,720
Speaker 3: from him, but in that final possession, we kept looking

253
00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:20,800
Speaker 3: at each other just shrugging our shoulders because he's trying

254
00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:23,560
Speaker 3: to push down field. You got that big completion to Smith,

255
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:27,680
Speaker 3: got the big sideline route to Goddard, no calls to

256
00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:30,720
Speaker 3: put the ball back in Saquon Barkley's gut. You got

257
00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:34,680
Speaker 3: that defense that's been on the field a ton all night,

258
00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:37,200
Speaker 3: and you finally have a little bit of an advantage

259
00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:40,400
Speaker 3: where you're winning that trench warfare and you don't go

260
00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:43,400
Speaker 3: to that instead pushing the ball down the field. Great

261
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:46,480
Speaker 3: play by the defenders, no question about it. But for

262
00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:49,000
Speaker 3: the rest of this season, you're looking at a schedule

263
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:53,720
Speaker 3: that's really advantageous for them. Only the Saints and Giants

264
00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:56,760
Speaker 3: have lesser quality of opponents. You've got a game against

265
00:12:56,800 --> 00:12:58,960
Speaker 3: the Bills, and week to week we watched them still

266
00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:02,360
Speaker 3: a top ten scoring defense, but other issues. And then

267
00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:05,400
Speaker 3: you have the Raiders and two games against the whatever's

268
00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:06,439
Speaker 3: left to the Commanders.

269
00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:08,400
Speaker 4: Right at this point, I don't even know it.

270
00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:11,600
Speaker 3: I guess Marcus Mariona comes back, so they'll be winging

271
00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:15,120
Speaker 3: the ball around. But it's that that idea of you've

272
00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:19,120
Speaker 3: got a terrible team and whatever. You know, however you

273
00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:22,600
Speaker 3: want to describe either of those those squads with Buffalo

274
00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:25,559
Speaker 3: as your only plus team still on this and you

275
00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:28,360
Speaker 3: can still go get it right. It's still theirs for

276
00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:32,080
Speaker 3: the taking in terms of the division. But we're at

277
00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:34,920
Speaker 3: going into week fifteen and still scratching our heads, going

278
00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:35,439
Speaker 3: what are we doing?

279
00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:37,640
Speaker 1: Look, and here's the thing, and here's why you can

280
00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:40,480
Speaker 1: do it right. Last year, Barkley three hundred and forty

281
00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:43,720
Speaker 1: five carries, okay, three or forty five carries, and he

282
00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:47,320
Speaker 1: caught thirty three passes, and then what he had in

283
00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:50,640
Speaker 1: the playoffs. Right, it's nearly five hundred touches from Barkley

284
00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:52,679
Speaker 1: last year. Okay, he needed some time, you know, you

285
00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:54,559
Speaker 1: don't bounce back. Took some time to heal, right, and

286
00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:55,800
Speaker 1: you tell you, well, you had to take a lot

287
00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:57,559
Speaker 1: of time coming off of that. Five hundred touches is

288
00:13:57,600 --> 00:14:00,600
Speaker 1: a lot This season. Right now, with four games left,

289
00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:03,320
Speaker 1: he's at one hundred and ninety eight touches, so he

290
00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:07,000
Speaker 1: is far behind his pace of last year. So in theory,

291
00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:09,000
Speaker 1: he should be fresher. And I gotta tell you tonight,

292
00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:11,199
Speaker 1: it didn't look like he was running in mud. It

293
00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:13,280
Speaker 1: didn't look like he was someone who he looked like.

294
00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:16,480
Speaker 1: He looked like a guy that Okay. Now at Saquon

295
00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:19,440
Speaker 1: Barkley time, when he had that fifty two yard touchdown run.

296
00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:21,600
Speaker 1: He splits the defense and goes through and then he's

297
00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:23,480
Speaker 1: on the side. Look, you could del that was the

298
00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:26,000
Speaker 1: moment where the Eagle said, hey, wait a minute, Saquon

299
00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:28,600
Speaker 1: Barkley is back. He's our guy. Now he's had a

300
00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:30,920
Speaker 1: lot less carry. You look at his numbers week to week.

301
00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:33,440
Speaker 1: This is where he should be. Fresh Right, We're into

302
00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:35,760
Speaker 1: early part of December and there's you know, we have

303
00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:39,520
Speaker 1: four games left and the divisions there for you. It's

304
00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:41,760
Speaker 1: an easy It's honestly, I think it's an easy call

305
00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:44,400
Speaker 1: to make. I mean, really, it's an easy call to make.

306
00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:47,720
Speaker 1: And the because the Eagles live in dysfunction. Man, it's

307
00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:50,280
Speaker 1: of course, Hey, Jalen, you're gonna be a game manager now,

308
00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:52,960
Speaker 1: Saquan Gohdrena, you're gonna get twenty five carries a game. Now,

309
00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:54,840
Speaker 1: it's been that we're gonna win games. Now, We're gonna

310
00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:57,320
Speaker 1: control the football, We're gonna limit our turnovers. This is

311
00:14:57,360 --> 00:14:59,680
Speaker 1: what we're gonna do, right, Like, I mean, I think

312
00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:01,360
Speaker 1: it's a pretty easy decision to.

313
00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:07,000
Speaker 3: Make defenses against the run. Let's see, Commanders are twenty ninth,

314
00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:09,040
Speaker 3: the Bills are twenty eighth.

315
00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:11,360
Speaker 4: Raiders you can do whatever you want on them. So

316
00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:12,440
Speaker 4: it's a little balance.

317
00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:15,320
Speaker 1: That could be a forfeit though, I mean maybe I

318
00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:17,080
Speaker 1: have thought, chuh, that could be a forfeit.

319
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:20,040
Speaker 4: Maybe you kick a field goal late. I don't know,

320
00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:21,760
Speaker 4: and Raider fans get.

321
00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:24,800
Speaker 1: Mad, Well, you forfeit. I think you win two nothing, right, Yeah,

322
00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:26,840
Speaker 1: you can look at that score of ten years now,

323
00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:29,200
Speaker 1: going wow, what a game that would have been safety

324
00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:31,600
Speaker 1: to nothing. Wow, what the defense must't have been awesome?

325
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:37,880
Speaker 1: Nuts exit up, out of Fresco, Exit swollen down The

374
00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:17,680
Speaker 1: John Cena makes a very uh very good case, even

375
00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:18,399
Speaker 1: better in French.

376
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:22,080
Speaker 3: I should probably start watching that instead of all the

377
00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:25,919
Speaker 3: uh bad Christmas movies I've been digesting.

378
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:35,280
Speaker 1: Yes, Fox Sports Radio, the Jason Smith Mike Harmon we

379
00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:37,520
Speaker 1: got more from Monday Night Football coming up in a bit,

380
00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:40,359
Speaker 1: but a headline that I gotta say, I like to

381
00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:42,840
Speaker 1: think that I can see things coming, you know, certain

382
00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:44,600
Speaker 1: things in the world of sports. You can see him

383
00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:47,600
Speaker 1: coming right Like like I could see Skip Bayless trying

384
00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:48,720
Speaker 1: to get back together with Stephen A.

385
00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:49,119
Speaker 4: Smith.

386
00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:51,760
Speaker 1: I can see that, I would. I can see that right, Yeah, I.

387
00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:52,240
Speaker 4: Can see that.

388
00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:54,960
Speaker 3: Hey days yelling. I got a lot of more certain

389
00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:56,320
Speaker 3: flexing and everything.

390
00:18:56,359 --> 00:18:59,399
Speaker 1: I can see certain things I did. I did not

391
00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:04,440
Speaker 1: see that due to the Colts quarterback Saga Daniel Jones,

392
00:19:05,160 --> 00:19:08,320
Speaker 1: you know, tearing his achilles yesterday. He's out for the year.

393
00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:12,200
Speaker 1: Riley Leonard, rookie out of Notre Dame coming in injuring

394
00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:16,040
Speaker 1: his knee. He is now week to week. I did

395
00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:19,919
Speaker 1: not see that. Tomorrow, the Indianapolis Colts are going to

396
00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:23,240
Speaker 1: bring in Philip Rivers to get a workout, not really

397
00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:25,000
Speaker 1: a try, but just to work out to see where

398
00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:28,679
Speaker 1: he's at. He hasn't played in the NFL since twenty twenty. Now,

399
00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:30,919
Speaker 1: he did finish with the Colts that year. With the Colts,

400
00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:35,080
Speaker 1: they've not yet decided whether to sign Philip Rivers, and

401
00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:37,240
Speaker 1: he hasn't determined whether or not he wants to play.

402
00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:42,000
Speaker 1: But according to ESPN's Adam Schefter, Philip Rivers Happy birthday,

403
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:47,719
Speaker 1: Philip Rivers. Forty four today, Philip Rivers. He's gonna come

404
00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:49,840
Speaker 1: in and work out now he's familiar with the system.

405
00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:52,960
Speaker 1: He could, in theory, be a guy who slides right

406
00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:58,960
Speaker 1: in because he knows Shane Steiken's system. This is one

407
00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:04,000
Speaker 1: of those stories. The idea of it, I think, is

408
00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:07,440
Speaker 1: a hell of a lot better than the actual product

409
00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:10,720
Speaker 1: you would see on the field. I mean, Rivers was

410
00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:13,119
Speaker 1: a great quarterback, and he was even a little bit

411
00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:14,840
Speaker 1: better than I thought he was in twenty twenty. But

412
00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:16,719
Speaker 1: you could tell at the end of twenty twenty he

413
00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:20,480
Speaker 1: was done. Right, he was done. Now four years away,

414
00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:23,160
Speaker 1: your body hasn't gone through the pounding. You can still

415
00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:26,679
Speaker 1: throw the football, Rivers is if Rivers is going in

416
00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:29,080
Speaker 1: to get a workout with the Colts, obviously has kept

417
00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:31,280
Speaker 1: himself in shape, can still throw the football right.

418
00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:34,200
Speaker 3: He's off coaching. F he's like a human jugs gun

419
00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:36,840
Speaker 3: for that. Saint Michael Catholic High School, thirteen and one

420
00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:37,960
Speaker 3: state semifinalist.

421
00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:41,120
Speaker 1: That oh, that's great. That's great. When you're forty four

422
00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:43,320
Speaker 1: and you're coaching. Yeah, you're in your prime, man, You're

423
00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:48,399
Speaker 1: starting good. You're starting your coaching prime. I really, I

424
00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:53,960
Speaker 1: really would worry about him, about the Colts, about his legacy,

425
00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:57,159
Speaker 1: about everything, if he went back out there to play.

426
00:20:57,520 --> 00:21:00,320
Speaker 1: I mean again, at the end, he looked like someone

427
00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:03,159
Speaker 1: who was near the end. Right, I can't tell you

428
00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:06,320
Speaker 1: where is his arm now? He had a tough enough time,

429
00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:09,200
Speaker 1: you know, showing arm strength, you know, five years ago.

430
00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:12,040
Speaker 1: I mean you talk the guy played in twenty twenty

431
00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:15,639
Speaker 1: Man twenty twenty. Yes, he was there. It sounds like

432
00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:18,240
Speaker 1: a great headline, and there would be a I would

433
00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:20,600
Speaker 1: want to watch, just like kind of when you have

434
00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:23,040
Speaker 1: two hands over your eyes you're watching a horror movie,

435
00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:24,639
Speaker 1: but you're kind of peeking through because you want to

436
00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:28,040
Speaker 1: see what's happening. Uh. Yeah, I don't think it's gonna

437
00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:31,320
Speaker 1: go well for Philip Rivers. I really don't, man. I mean,

438
00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:34,160
Speaker 1: you've been away from the game a long time. Look

439
00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:35,560
Speaker 1: at guys that are away from the game, that are

440
00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:37,920
Speaker 1: in their twenties for a year, and now they come

441
00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:40,000
Speaker 1: back and they're able to do it. They look like

442
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:41,919
Speaker 1: they've been away from the game for a decade. Right,

443
00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:44,720
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson was away from here. He's still never made

444
00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:47,320
Speaker 1: it back, right, I mean this is and Rivers is

445
00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:50,920
Speaker 1: now in his forties, four years away, dude, father Time.

446
00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:55,080
Speaker 1: There's not many tenants in sports where you can say, yeah, blanketly,

447
00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:58,439
Speaker 1: father Time is undefeated forty four coming off of this.

448
00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:01,440
Speaker 1: I hope that this is just one of those things where, hey,

449
00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:04,479
Speaker 1: it sounds kind of fun and in the end, cooler

450
00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:08,480
Speaker 1: heads prevail, because I don't know how this works out.

451
00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:12,480
Speaker 1: You can find somebody to hand the ball off to

452
00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:15,480
Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor, you know, thirty eight times a game and

453
00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:19,960
Speaker 1: just throw the football couple of times. I understand the

454
00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:23,159
Speaker 1: allure of this, but while the reality on the field,

455
00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:24,520
Speaker 1: I think that's gonna be a different story.

456
00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:28,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, this will be a curiosity, certainly. I always celebrate

457
00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:31,399
Speaker 3: when guys are a bit older, even the antics of

458
00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:35,879
Speaker 3: a Lebron James, the final throes of Tom Brady, Aaron

459
00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:39,320
Speaker 3: Rodgers where he's at now in Matthew Stafford, different levels

460
00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:43,960
Speaker 3: of brilliant success and odd moments along the way. For

461
00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:46,639
Speaker 3: Philip Rivers, he was one of a long line of

462
00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:50,080
Speaker 3: guys who became the the stop gap. They fit the

463
00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:53,639
Speaker 3: suit veteran quarterback for the Colts after Andrew Luck abruptly

464
00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:58,040
Speaker 3: walked away. Right now, GM of Yours, Stanford Cardinal. But

465
00:22:58,760 --> 00:23:01,800
Speaker 3: for Philip Rivers, you go back to his final year,

466
00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:07,440
Speaker 3: twenty four touchdowns, eleven picks, air yards were actually higher

467
00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:11,680
Speaker 3: than four or five of his final years with the Chargers,

468
00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:14,680
Speaker 3: and he hasn't been thrown as much. I mean, maybe

469
00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:17,200
Speaker 3: there's some magic left in that arm. There must have

470
00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:19,840
Speaker 3: been some magic well, and you can do that.

471
00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:23,080
Speaker 1: It is Christmas. It's Christmas, a time of miracles.

472
00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:24,600
Speaker 4: But I mean, look at it.

473
00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:26,560
Speaker 3: Five to seven step down, it's not like you're worried

474
00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:29,280
Speaker 3: about For Daniel Jones, what happened. He couldn't he couldn't move,

475
00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:32,600
Speaker 3: and then he had the broken leg and now he's done.

476
00:23:32,760 --> 00:23:34,560
Speaker 3: And that was sad to watch. It was really sad

477
00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:36,960
Speaker 3: to see that that end. Very cool that he was

478
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:39,520
Speaker 3: back out on the sideline trying to rally his guys

479
00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:42,080
Speaker 3: and talk to them up and see if he couldn't

480
00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:44,520
Speaker 3: get them together for the back half of that game

481
00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:48,600
Speaker 3: while Riley Leonard was out there. But for Philip Rivers,

482
00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:50,800
Speaker 3: it's not like mobility was every hell. That guy didn't

483
00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:54,240
Speaker 3: even do quarterback sneaks. Forget about tush pushes. He didn't

484
00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:56,119
Speaker 3: even do a quarterback sneak when he was there. So

485
00:23:56,280 --> 00:23:58,320
Speaker 3: I don't need his mobility. I just need to know

486
00:23:58,359 --> 00:23:59,960
Speaker 3: his shoulders got one hundred and fifty three.

487
00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:03,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what I mean. Like it's it sounds great

488
00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:05,919
Speaker 1: and that you know, you know like that this is

489
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:06,719
Speaker 1: this is a story.

490
00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:10,000
Speaker 3: It's a Christmas miracle, Caryl Brady getting her voice back

491
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:11,440
Speaker 3: when she needed to sing in church.

492
00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:14,320
Speaker 1: So call me when you hit the last lock. I

493
00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:18,200
Speaker 1: call this story. This is fun for five minutes, right,

494
00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:20,720
Speaker 1: It's fun for five minutes to think about Philip Rivers

495
00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:23,000
Speaker 1: and the career he had and how much funny he

496
00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:25,960
Speaker 1: was and his trash talking and boy him coming back.

497
00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:29,000
Speaker 1: Because we're going back in time, you feel five years

498
00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:32,000
Speaker 1: younger because Philip Rivers is still playing quarterback in the NFL.

499
00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:33,199
Speaker 4: I get it.

500
00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:35,840
Speaker 1: It's fun. It's when you walk in the mall and

501
00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:38,760
Speaker 1: you're walking by the kiosk which are all filled up

502
00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:41,600
Speaker 1: now at holiday time, and you see the guy flying

503
00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:42,840
Speaker 1: the helicopter.

504
00:24:43,119 --> 00:24:44,399
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, helicopter.

505
00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:46,439
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, it's you know, and you stop and you

506
00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:48,120
Speaker 1: watch and you go, man, that'd be pretty cool.

507
00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:51,040
Speaker 4: I always swat it down like I'm king came, No, I'm.

508
00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:54,320
Speaker 1: Just whether you have a kid with you and say

509
00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:57,320
Speaker 1: it looks like it's fun. It's fun for about five minutes,

510
00:24:57,440 --> 00:24:59,320
Speaker 1: and then eventually it's gonna crash your.

511
00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:02,520
Speaker 4: Kid into a glass something and something's.

512
00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:03,840
Speaker 1: Gonna break and you're never able to use it again,

513
00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:06,159
Speaker 1: and it's done right. It's fun for five minutes and

514
00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:09,240
Speaker 1: then okay, we're moving on. This is a story that's

515
00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:11,760
Speaker 1: fun for five minutes. It's fun to think about and

516
00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:15,680
Speaker 1: and and romanticize. But the reality, my good. You talk

517
00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:18,040
Speaker 1: about teams pinning their ears back and going. Because Philip

518
00:25:18,119 --> 00:25:21,000
Speaker 1: Rivers wasn't wasn't real mobile when he was younger, think

519
00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:22,880
Speaker 1: about what it's gonna be now when he's forty four.

520
00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:25,600
Speaker 1: He might take the snap twelve yards deep in the shotgun.

521
00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:27,560
Speaker 1: Lan's right, I gotta I gotta take it this deep,

522
00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:29,639
Speaker 1: So I snap it like we're punting. Yes, yes, but

523
00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:31,480
Speaker 1: I'm gonna throw it from here so we're all good.

524
00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:35,800
Speaker 1: Don't want a bad move. If it worked, I couldn't

525
00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:38,879
Speaker 1: fall a fault the strategy. Yeah, to your point, I

526
00:25:39,040 --> 00:25:40,800
Speaker 1: I truly do. Uh.

527
00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:43,760
Speaker 3: I just enjoyed the theater of more than anything else.

528
00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:46,160
Speaker 3: Just that this is an option, But like what else

529
00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:50,400
Speaker 3: is out there? Like in terms of side who's available?

530
00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:53,199
Speaker 1: Well, you got you got guys on practice squads that

531
00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:54,600
Speaker 1: have been in the game for a little bit that

532
00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:57,320
Speaker 1: you can find. Hey, what offense? Uh do they run?

533
00:25:57,359 --> 00:26:00,480
Speaker 1: That's close to the run. There's you know, there's some thing, man, right,

534
00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:02,639
Speaker 1: I mean, Brett Rippen's on me on the practice squad.

535
00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:05,159
Speaker 1: He started games in the NFL before, like you know,

536
00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:07,600
Speaker 1: and more recently. Not that I'd be that excited about

537
00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:09,240
Speaker 1: Brett Rippon, but still I got it. You know, you

538
00:26:09,320 --> 00:26:12,119
Speaker 1: have guys out there. That's fine, you know, I mean

539
00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:17,040
Speaker 1: you this is not gonna get the Nate Looking at

540
00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:19,919
Speaker 1: the back of Philip Rivers football card doesn't make this

541
00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:22,320
Speaker 1: a great story. Boy. If they're getting this Philip right right,

542
00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:24,000
Speaker 1: because I can't wait to see that. If the cults

543
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:26,640
Speaker 1: are getting this Philip Rivers, watch out rest of the AFC,

544
00:26:26,720 --> 00:26:29,399
Speaker 1: And here's a highlight, like from twenty fourteen of Rivers

545
00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:31,640
Speaker 1: just slinging it down the field to Keenan Allen, who's

546
00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:34,560
Speaker 1: twenty one. Hey, we're great, man, we're feeling awesome.

547
00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:36,520
Speaker 4: That's not so we can do it in AI. That'd

548
00:26:36,520 --> 00:26:39,400
Speaker 4: be kind of fun. Stats for days. No, you got enough.

549
00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:42,520
Speaker 1: You got enough great real life Philip Rivers highlights. You

550
00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:45,000
Speaker 1: can get that it's not enough. Your timeline is just

551
00:26:45,359 --> 00:26:47,800
Speaker 1: is flooded with all the great trash talking that he's

552
00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:49,760
Speaker 1: done again. Fun for five minutes, and they go get

553
00:26:49,760 --> 00:26:53,320
Speaker 1: Bailey's appy fun for five minutes. Yeah, anybody, Hey, you

554
00:26:53,359 --> 00:26:56,080
Speaker 1: get anybody who want to that started games? Okay? Because

555
00:26:56,119 --> 00:26:59,000
Speaker 1: the thing is you have pretty good weapons on this team,

556
00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:02,119
Speaker 1: like the the The sunny side up part for the

557
00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:05,440
Speaker 1: Colts is that hey, yes, and again I feel bad

558
00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:07,520
Speaker 1: now because now my whole you know, hopefully you got

559
00:27:07,560 --> 00:27:09,679
Speaker 1: paid out if you took my advice about the Colts

560
00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:11,439
Speaker 1: being the dark horse super Bowl team because now the day.

561
00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:17,120
Speaker 1: But the fact that Daniel Jones came in when nobody

562
00:27:17,119 --> 00:27:19,280
Speaker 1: thought he was any good and he was a backup quarterback,

563
00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:21,400
Speaker 1: and I told you he can come in. He can

564
00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:22,959
Speaker 1: do pretty well in this offense. They have a lot

565
00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:25,680
Speaker 1: of playmakers. There's some guys out there that I think

566
00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:27,280
Speaker 1: can make some place for you that you can bring

567
00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:30,239
Speaker 1: in because you still have pretty good guys to throw to, right, Like,

568
00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:33,479
Speaker 1: it's not the same. It's not the same as it

569
00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:35,600
Speaker 1: was a year and a half ago, where you're your

570
00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:39,119
Speaker 1: pecking order was, Hey, Michael Pittman's your a Josh Downs

571
00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:41,800
Speaker 1: is your up and coming next great wide receiver. Alec

572
00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:44,400
Speaker 1: Pierce is your deep threat, right Okay, now it's okay.

573
00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:48,040
Speaker 1: It's a little bit different where Alec Pearce has come

574
00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:50,320
Speaker 1: up the depth chart a bit and maybe he's more

575
00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:52,280
Speaker 1: of your go to guy explosive, but he got more

576
00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:53,840
Speaker 1: and as your tight end and he's become one of

577
00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:56,320
Speaker 1: the best tight ends in the NFL as a rookie. Right, Still,

578
00:27:56,440 --> 00:27:58,600
Speaker 1: Pittman still have downs, There are still guys to catch passes,

579
00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:00,960
Speaker 1: but you have weapons. So it's just you know, a

580
00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:03,320
Speaker 1: warm body that's throwing the football with the young, quick

581
00:28:03,320 --> 00:28:06,119
Speaker 1: twitch muscles. That's still a better case than going to

582
00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:08,240
Speaker 1: a guy in forty four. I mean, come on, man,

583
00:28:08,480 --> 00:28:10,600
Speaker 1: what's next? Vinie testaverdy Vinnie sixty?

584
00:28:11,600 --> 00:28:12,800
Speaker 4: Bet he can still sling it.

585
00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:15,080
Speaker 1: Oh, No one throws a pretty er deep ball than

586
00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:15,640
Speaker 1: Vintie Testa.

587
00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:21,120
Speaker 3: Final four games for the Indianapolis Colts at Seattle, Oh,

588
00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:21,880
Speaker 3: good luck.

589
00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:24,040
Speaker 4: Pigna Pinata, whoever that is.

590
00:28:24,680 --> 00:28:26,920
Speaker 3: Richard Sherman will come out of retirement just to play

591
00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:29,400
Speaker 3: in that game home against the forty nine ers.

592
00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:33,800
Speaker 1: The Jacksonville Jaguars come out of retirement just to play

593
00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:34,040
Speaker 1: in that.

594
00:28:34,080 --> 00:28:36,480
Speaker 3: Jaguars, who are twelve and a half point favorites against

595
00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:41,040
Speaker 3: your Jets this week, and then you finish the season

596
00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:43,560
Speaker 3: against the Houston Texans.

597
00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:45,400
Speaker 1: Oh oh my, oh, please.

598
00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:47,880
Speaker 3: Tell you what I'll come back to weeks fifteen through seventeen.

00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:50,640
Speaker 3: I'm taking the eighteen now, please no, please not please

600
00:28:50,680 --> 00:28:53,000
Speaker 3: the I mean see part of me. I don't want

601
00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:54,360
Speaker 3: to see it, but I really want to see that

602
00:28:54,920 --> 00:28:58,200
Speaker 3: the pinata effect there. No, I don't need to see that.

603
00:28:58,400 --> 00:29:01,640
Speaker 1: It's gonna every play is gonna be like remember necessary roughness.

604
00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:03,600
Speaker 1: They lined up for the first play, right, they were

605
00:29:03,600 --> 00:29:06,920
Speaker 1: scrimmaging against the everybody from the prison and it was

606
00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:10,640
Speaker 1: you know, Evander Holyfield and Dick Buckis and Jim Kelly

607
00:29:10,640 --> 00:29:12,560
Speaker 1: and all that. And the first play the ball was

608
00:29:12,600 --> 00:29:16,120
Speaker 1: snapped and everybody defense just tackled the guy on offense

609
00:29:16,160 --> 00:29:17,040
Speaker 1: and beat.

610
00:29:16,840 --> 00:29:18,000
Speaker 4: The crash out of beat him up.

611
00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:20,480
Speaker 1: That would be every play of the Texans Colts if

612
00:29:20,520 --> 00:29:23,760
Speaker 1: Philip Rivers is playing in that game. Evander Holyfield says, God,

613
00:29:23,800 --> 00:29:25,640
Speaker 1: that a feel so good. I think I swallowed a finger.

614
00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:29,800
Speaker 3: How long can you keep? Will Anderson? What's the number

615
00:29:29,800 --> 00:29:31,280
Speaker 3: of snaps before the first sack?

616
00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:31,680
Speaker 4: Is that?

617
00:29:31,760 --> 00:29:33,920
Speaker 1: It prop that week you get in on. I don't know,

618
00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:36,680
Speaker 1: but the first play of the game is a sack.

619
00:29:36,840 --> 00:29:40,280
Speaker 3: Can he do the Peyton manning those choice where he

620
00:29:40,400 --> 00:29:42,719
Speaker 3: pressed the bottom and their legs fall down so they

621
00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:45,440
Speaker 3: can avoid the hit. Has Philip Rivers figured out how

622
00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:46,120
Speaker 3: to do that move?

623
00:29:46,840 --> 00:29:49,880
Speaker 1: I mean, it's it sounds great, it sounds awesome. It's

624
00:29:49,920 --> 00:29:51,640
Speaker 1: just the reality is not going to be what you

625
00:29:51,680 --> 00:29:52,080
Speaker 1: think it is.

626
00:29:52,440 --> 00:29:53,560
Speaker 4: It's not gonna.

627
00:29:53,800 --> 00:29:56,640
Speaker 3: Could you get Cincinnati to send Joe Flacco back? I mean,

628
00:29:56,760 --> 00:29:58,840
Speaker 3: did you release me so i'd go play for them again?

629
00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:01,000
Speaker 1: If the Texans and cults, I don't know if I

630
00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:03,240
Speaker 1: really want to see that or if I have no

631
00:30:03,320 --> 00:30:03,960
Speaker 1: desire to see it.

632
00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:06,440

633
00:30:06,440 --> 00:30:10,720
Speaker 3: of teams that are not motivated. Whereas the Houston Texans right.

Speaker 3: potential holiday how holiday holiday?

703
00:33:25,480 --> 00:33:27,680

Speaker 4: It is.

705
00:33:28,400 --> 00:33:32,120
Speaker 1: No, it's not just because they say hallelujah. Listen to

706
00:33:32,200 --> 00:33:32,880

00:33:44,080 --> 00:33:47,000
Speaker 1: how to shoot somebody who outdrew you. One thing I've

712
00:33:47,040 --> 00:33:47,840
Speaker 1: learned that.

713
00:33:47,880 --> 00:33:50,640

728
00:34:39,680 --> 00:34:42,560
Speaker 1: Leonard Cohens, Hallelujah is not a Christmas song. It's about faith,

729
00:34:42,640 --> 00:34:45,640
Speaker 1: love and loss with religious imagery woven into its verses.

730
00:34:45,840 --> 00:34:48,080
Speaker 1: Tell Tay Shirt, he's full of crap. But at the

731
00:34:48,080 --> 00:34:49,799
Speaker 1: holiday holiday holidays, what do you do?

732
00:34:49,840 --> 00:34:52,279
Speaker 3: You gather around you think of people that you love

733
00:34:52,360 --> 00:34:54,600
Speaker 3: and have lost, and you remember them.

734
00:34:54,719 --> 00:34:57,160
Speaker 1: Right, you put up the pictures. It talks about love

735
00:34:57,280 --> 00:34:59,279
Speaker 1: and sex and failure and brokenness.

736
00:34:59,360 --> 00:35:03,200
Speaker 3: That's not that's humanity. That's the holidays and nuts show.

737
00:35:03,280 --> 00:35:05,600
Speaker 1: Did you just trust ai? You learned nothing that is

738
00:35:05,719 --> 00:35:09,280
Speaker 1: not John Cena. I'll there you trust the hive, Carol.

739
00:35:09,360 --> 00:35:12,160
Speaker 1: We are John Cena. And a few things we want

740
00:35:12,239 --> 00:35:16,359
Speaker 1: to tell you. Uh so hey for positivity Monday. Here

741
00:35:16,480 --> 00:35:19,320
Speaker 1: couple of things, all right, two players who were absolute

742
00:35:19,360 --> 00:35:22,440
Speaker 1: heroes tonight Monday Night football. The Charges went it over

743
00:35:22,480 --> 00:35:24,880
Speaker 1: the Eagles twenty two to nineteen. We gave you the

744
00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:28,360
Speaker 1: Eagle side of things a little while ago. Justin Herbert

745
00:35:28,360 --> 00:35:31,080
Speaker 1: tonight did not have a great night. Throwing the football

746
00:35:31,480 --> 00:35:33,600
Speaker 1: right twelve out of twenty six, a buck thirty nine

747
00:35:33,600 --> 00:35:36,480
Speaker 1: a touchdown in the pick. He was sacked seven times,

748
00:35:36,800 --> 00:35:40,760
Speaker 1: turned the ball over, fumbled, did run for sixty six yards.

749
00:35:41,760 --> 00:35:43,520
Speaker 1: This is a game where I don't care about the

750
00:35:43,560 --> 00:35:47,440
Speaker 1: stats because Justin Herbert was the guy that willed this

751
00:35:47,560 --> 00:35:50,840
Speaker 1: team to victory. He got hit on every single play.

752
00:35:51,120 --> 00:35:55,080
Speaker 1: The Eagles, they they were they were running and whooping

753
00:35:55,120 --> 00:35:58,800
Speaker 1: it up after every play because they hit him every

754
00:35:59,120 --> 00:36:02,440
Speaker 1: single time he threw the football. He ran with the football,

755
00:36:02,800 --> 00:36:06,399
Speaker 1: and somehow Herbert's able to get them down enough point.

756
00:36:06,440 --> 00:36:08,359
Speaker 1: This is one of those nights where it doesn't matter.

757
00:36:08,440 --> 00:36:10,879
Speaker 1: There's two columns, a win column, a lost column. Doesn't

758
00:36:10,920 --> 00:36:13,040
Speaker 1: matter that you're only twelve out of twenty six for

759
00:36:13,080 --> 00:36:16,319
Speaker 1: a buck thirty nine. You got them down, you won

760
00:36:16,400 --> 00:36:19,359
Speaker 1: the game, and you got hit every single play. Right.

761
00:36:19,400 --> 00:36:21,759
Speaker 1: We'll get to the Chargers side of their imagery and

762
00:36:21,800 --> 00:36:26,279
Speaker 1: identity next hour, but this is a tough slog for

763
00:36:26,400 --> 00:36:29,680
Speaker 1: the Chargers. No Rashwan Slater, no Joe Alt, who may

764
00:36:29,719 --> 00:36:32,399
Speaker 1: wind up being the real MVP of the NFL. This

765
00:36:32,440 --> 00:36:35,520
Speaker 1: is what it is for Justin Herbert every single week.

766
00:36:35,600 --> 00:36:38,319
Speaker 1: And it doesn't matter because they're nine and four and

767
00:36:38,360 --> 00:36:41,680
Speaker 1: they're making noise, and they're making noise. Potentially they still

768
00:36:41,680 --> 00:36:44,600
Speaker 1: have an outside shot at the division title, but they're

769
00:36:44,640 --> 00:36:48,600
Speaker 1: a big time playoff team. Justin Herbert was outstanding tonight

770
00:36:48,680 --> 00:36:51,040
Speaker 1: because one of the things is a quarterback, you do

771
00:36:51,120 --> 00:36:53,319
Speaker 1: what you have to do to win, and all those

772
00:36:53,400 --> 00:36:55,880
Speaker 1: hits he took. Man, that ice bath is gonna feel great.

773
00:36:56,160 --> 00:36:57,640
Speaker 1: But man, was he something tonight.

774
00:36:57,719 --> 00:36:57,879
Speaker 4: Yeah.

775
00:36:57,920 --> 00:36:59,880
Speaker 3: I mean you saw the overload and every time he

776
00:37:00,160 --> 00:37:03,360
Speaker 3: had a route to escape and over pursuit by the

777
00:37:03,400 --> 00:37:06,880
Speaker 3: defensive line, he slipped straight through and made big plays

778
00:37:06,920 --> 00:37:09,520
Speaker 3: got to the sideline. There were a couple of anxious

779
00:37:09,560 --> 00:37:12,000
Speaker 3: moments we were watching as as a group during one

780
00:37:12,040 --> 00:37:13,920
Speaker 3: of the commercial breaks and looking at it, He's like,

781
00:37:13,920 --> 00:37:16,719
Speaker 3: you get there, oh, and the guy pulled up. Otherwise

782
00:37:16,960 --> 00:37:18,960
Speaker 3: I think it was Cooper Dejeene who could have absolutely

783
00:37:19,040 --> 00:37:23,279
Speaker 3: obliterated him and Knockett it tomorrow Rock and instead save

784
00:37:23,320 --> 00:37:27,720
Speaker 3: Philadelphia instead let him get out of bounds. But coming

785
00:37:27,719 --> 00:37:31,759
Speaker 3: into the night, he had one fewer pressure for the

786
00:37:31,840 --> 00:37:35,719
Speaker 3: year than cam Ward. He was coming off a hands surgery.

787
00:37:36,040 --> 00:37:38,200
Speaker 3: There were times where it's like, can he even get

788
00:37:38,200 --> 00:37:41,360
Speaker 3: a snap from under center? And we talk about the

789
00:37:41,440 --> 00:37:43,279
Speaker 3: hits that he's taken over the course of the year.

790
00:37:43,320 --> 00:37:46,799
Speaker 3: With those two bookends, Slater and Alt being out, you

791
00:37:46,840 --> 00:37:50,239
Speaker 3: get a Hampton back, you got Videll, and you're you're

792
00:37:50,239 --> 00:37:52,720
Speaker 3: expecting more of the run game. Instead, the most effective

793
00:37:52,800 --> 00:37:55,359
Speaker 3: runner became a Herbert you know, they did a good job.

794
00:37:55,800 --> 00:37:58,640
Speaker 3: You know, the aforementioned degene on Lad McConkie did a

795
00:37:58,640 --> 00:38:01,400
Speaker 3: great job of neutralizing him over the course of the

796
00:38:01,480 --> 00:38:03,560
Speaker 3: night on a couple of balls that they tried to

797
00:38:03,640 --> 00:38:06,759
Speaker 3: hit down field. He was up to the task. But

798
00:38:07,080 --> 00:38:09,560
Speaker 3: the toughness quotient man, because that was when we talked

799
00:38:09,560 --> 00:38:11,560
Speaker 3: about Philip Rivers just a few minutes ago. That was

800
00:38:11,560 --> 00:38:13,680
Speaker 3: the one thing about him, right, He kept getting back

801
00:38:13,719 --> 00:38:17,600
Speaker 3: up immobile, never part of his game, but he played.

802
00:38:18,160 --> 00:38:20,360
Speaker 3: And that's where justin Herbert, you want to talk about

803
00:38:20,440 --> 00:38:21,680
Speaker 3: growing your own legend.

804
00:38:21,920 --> 00:38:24,440
Speaker 4: Was it a pretty game? No, But it's a w the.

805
00:38:24,440 --> 00:38:26,319
Speaker 1: Other guy, And it feels weird to talk about how

806
00:38:26,360 --> 00:38:27,960
Speaker 1: tough he was of doing all of this. But we're

807
00:38:27,960 --> 00:38:31,120
Speaker 1: going to talk about a kicker, uh, Cameron Dicker. Five

808
00:38:31,200 --> 00:38:33,840
Speaker 1: field goals tonight, right, the last one from over fifty

809
00:38:33,920 --> 00:38:37,319
Speaker 1: yards and it's enough for the Chargers to win. He's

810
00:38:37,360 --> 00:38:39,239
Speaker 1: your number one kicker in fantasy. He's been one of

811
00:38:39,239 --> 00:38:41,640
Speaker 1: the best kickers in the NFL the last four years.

812
00:38:42,120 --> 00:38:45,400
Speaker 1: But this is something and I can't well, I couldn't

813
00:38:45,400 --> 00:38:47,319
Speaker 1: believe this stat when it came out tonight, Like we

814
00:38:47,320 --> 00:38:48,720
Speaker 1: don't want to kill you with a lot of stats,

815
00:38:48,760 --> 00:38:50,319
Speaker 1: but once in a while when something comes up, Hey,

816
00:38:50,560 --> 00:38:52,160
Speaker 1: I want to throw this out the next day with

817
00:38:52,200 --> 00:38:55,320
Speaker 1: my friends. Yeah, take this, especially stats about kickers after

818
00:38:55,440 --> 00:39:01,480
Speaker 1: tonight Cameron Dicker ninety nine, oh sorry, one hundred out

819
00:39:01,480 --> 00:39:05,719
Speaker 1: of one hundred and two in his career field goals

820
00:39:05,920 --> 00:39:09,640
Speaker 1: under fifty yards, not under forty yards, not thirty five,

821
00:39:10,360 --> 00:39:13,520
Speaker 1: one hundred out of one hundred and two inside of

822
00:39:13,600 --> 00:39:17,120
Speaker 1: fifty yards. The guys as automatic as can be from

823
00:39:17,320 --> 00:39:19,759
Speaker 1: inside of fifty and oh, by the way, pretty good

824
00:39:19,800 --> 00:39:20,560
Speaker 1: from over fifty.

825
00:39:20,520 --> 00:39:21,960
Speaker 4: Ye, he's five of six on right.

826
00:39:22,840 --> 00:39:25,240
Speaker 1: I mean, you talk about a guy taking the mantles

827
00:39:25,239 --> 00:39:27,880
Speaker 1: the next great kicker in the NFL, Like, who's that

828
00:39:28,040 --> 00:39:30,439
Speaker 1: guy there? Look, we're we've never been in a better

829
00:39:30,719 --> 00:39:33,279
Speaker 1: time now for kickers than we are now. Overall, the

830
00:39:33,320 --> 00:39:36,920
Speaker 1: top of the kicker list is just insane. But one

831
00:39:37,040 --> 00:39:39,680
Speaker 1: hundred out of one he's missed two field goals from

832
00:39:39,719 --> 00:39:43,719
Speaker 1: inside of fifty yards in his entire career. I don't

833
00:39:43,719 --> 00:39:46,720
Speaker 1: know that there's a better, more impressive stat for kickers

834
00:39:46,760 --> 00:39:48,560
Speaker 1: than that. I really don't know if there's something more

835
00:39:48,600 --> 00:39:51,000
Speaker 1: impressive than one hundred out of one oh two in

836
00:39:51,040 --> 00:39:52,360
Speaker 1: your career inside of fifty.

837
00:39:52,600 --> 00:39:57,200
Speaker 3: It's better than most guys on their pats. All right,

838
00:39:57,200 --> 00:39:58,240
Speaker 3: you're talking around a guy.

839
00:39:58,120 --> 00:39:58,600
Speaker 4: Fir his career.

840
00:39:58,600 --> 00:40:01,839
Speaker 3: He's at ninety four plus per Yeah, after tonight's game.

841
00:40:02,000 --> 00:40:06,200
Speaker 3: I mean it just insane level of accuracy, including that

842
00:40:06,239 --> 00:40:09,320
Speaker 3: acumen beyond fifty yards, like he knows his distance and

843
00:40:09,840 --> 00:40:13,040
Speaker 3: something that they've figured out. All right, here's the threshold

844
00:40:13,680 --> 00:40:14,799
Speaker 3: and worked accordingly.

845
00:40:15,239 --> 00:40:15,799
Speaker 4: He comes on.

846
00:40:15,880 --> 00:40:19,719
Speaker 1: It's automatic exit up out of Fresca, exit swollen down

847
00:40:19,760 --> 00:40:22,920
Speaker 1: the Jason Smith Show with my best friend Mike Carmon.

848
00:40:23,160 --> 00:40:25,520
Speaker 1: We have more NFL on the way. You'll hear from

849
00:40:25,560 --> 00:40:28,919
Speaker 1: Nick Sirianni meeting the media right now following Jalen Hurts

850
00:40:28,960 --> 00:40:33,120
Speaker 1: his four interception night, but coming up next. It was

851
00:40:33,160 --> 00:40:36,359
Speaker 1: twenty four hours ago this team was the darling of

852
00:40:36,440 --> 00:40:39,960
Speaker 1: the entire football world. Everybody felt bad for them, was sympathetic.

853
00:40:40,880 --> 00:40:44,520
Speaker 1: Twenty four hours later, they're the biggest villains in the sport.

854
00:40:45,120 --> 00:40:47,600
Speaker 1: How did that happen? We'll tell you next Fox
