Okay, 10 00:00:49,028 --> 00:00:50,428 Speaker 1: that means we just got to jump right into the 11 00:00:50,468 --> 00:00:56,268 Speaker 1: lead block here Jason's take his Thanksgiving Okaya manipulation into football. 12 00:00:56,388 --> 00:00:59,588 Speaker 1: John Madden. John Madden is a legend. He called over 13 00:00:59,668 --> 00:01:03,188 Speaker 1: twenty Thanksgiving Day NFL games as a broadcaster, and Thursday 14 00:01:03,188 --> 00:01:07,188 Speaker 1: marks the inaugural John Madden Thanksgiving celebration, taking place across 15 00:01:07,228 --> 00:01:10,628 Speaker 1: all three broadcast networks, starting with Bill's Lions on CBS 16 00:01:10,708 --> 00:01:13,148 Speaker 1: at twelve thirty and then at four thirty on Fox 17 00:01:13,188 --> 00:01:16,228 Speaker 1: you have Giants, Cowboys, and then the nightcap is Patriots 18 00:01:16,268 --> 00:01:20,068 Speaker 1: Vikings at eight twenty pm. On NBC speaking of that 19 00:01:20,108 --> 00:01:23,868 Speaker 1: Giants game, though Daniel Jones had sadallas afterferring two interceptions 20 00:01:23,908 --> 00:01:27,068 Speaker 1: for the Giants week eleven loss to Detroit. Here's the 21 00:01:27,388 --> 00:01:30,908 Speaker 1: Giants QB on the need to limit those mistakes against 22 00:01:30,908 --> 00:01:35,388 Speaker 1: a very, very tough Cowboys defense. Anytime you turn the 23 00:01:35,388 --> 00:01:38,068 Speaker 1: ball over twice, it's it's tough to say you played well. 24 00:01:38,108 --> 00:01:40,308 Speaker 1: So I think that's the That's the biggest thing for me. 25 00:01:40,348 --> 00:01:42,788 Speaker 1: He's taking care of the ball and making sure we're 26 00:01:42,828 --> 00:01:45,748 Speaker 1: avoiding those situations and not putting our defense in a 27 00:01:45,748 --> 00:01:48,028 Speaker 1: bad spot go on the field, So, you know, looking 28 00:01:48,068 --> 00:01:51,068 Speaker 1: to clean up those things certainly and avoid making those mistakes. 29 00:01:52,148 --> 00:01:53,908 Speaker 1: So this is good to tee up this game on Thursday, 30 00:01:53,908 --> 00:01:56,748 Speaker 1: because Peter, on yesterday's show, we had our whiteboards out 31 00:01:56,788 --> 00:02:00,228 Speaker 1: and we were asked to rank our five NFC teams. 32 00:02:00,628 --> 00:02:03,188 Speaker 1: Not a single one of us, as a Giant will 33 00:02:03,268 --> 00:02:06,788 Speaker 1: jump in he haven't known, didn't, we didn't, Nobody didn't 34 00:02:06,788 --> 00:02:08,388 Speaker 1: put them. No one put the New York Football Giants 35 00:02:08,428 --> 00:02:10,868 Speaker 1: on their white board. Um, so I'll start with you, Peter, 36 00:02:11,108 --> 00:02:13,348 Speaker 1: what's it gonna take for the Giants to be considered 37 00:02:13,508 --> 00:02:16,028 Speaker 1: an NFC power team. Well, I don't blame you, guys, 38 00:02:16,068 --> 00:02:18,068 Speaker 1: because if the playoffs were to start to the six seed, 39 00:02:18,068 --> 00:02:20,428 Speaker 1: they're not a top five team. But the power teams 40 00:02:20,428 --> 00:02:23,028 Speaker 1: in this league they go on the road and they 41 00:02:23,068 --> 00:02:25,948 Speaker 1: come in bruise, they come in battered, they come in injured, 42 00:02:26,108 --> 00:02:29,108 Speaker 1: and they win big divisional games. That's what power teams do. 43 00:02:29,548 --> 00:02:31,188 Speaker 1: I think if the Chiefs were coming off a loss 44 00:02:31,228 --> 00:02:32,988 Speaker 1: like the Giants had last week, the Chiefs would go 45 00:02:33,028 --> 00:02:34,828 Speaker 1: on the road and win. I think if the Eagles 46 00:02:34,828 --> 00:02:37,428 Speaker 1: were coming off a loss like the Giants had last 47 00:02:37,428 --> 00:02:38,988 Speaker 1: week against the Lions, they would come out on the 48 00:02:39,028 --> 00:02:40,548 Speaker 1: road and they would go out there and they'd win. 49 00:02:41,068 --> 00:02:43,428 Speaker 1: I think the Bills coming up, they would go out 50 00:02:43,468 --> 00:02:47,268 Speaker 1: there and let's go, let's win. I don't know if 51 00:02:47,268 --> 00:02:49,708 Speaker 1: the Giants, I just don't know if they have it. 52 00:02:49,828 --> 00:02:51,828 Speaker 1: And I feel like a lot of Giants fans are 53 00:02:51,868 --> 00:02:53,948 Speaker 1: looking at these next few games on the schedule and 54 00:02:53,988 --> 00:02:56,468 Speaker 1: they're like, the season is still very much salvageable. These 55 00:02:56,468 --> 00:02:59,828 Speaker 1: are division opponents. Cleaning last week out of our brain 56 00:02:59,948 --> 00:03:02,908 Speaker 1: and go and take care of business. You beat the Cowboys, 57 00:03:03,348 --> 00:03:05,828 Speaker 1: you host the man There's you win those two games, 58 00:03:05,868 --> 00:03:07,268 Speaker 1: you're right back in it and you're one of those 59 00:03:07,268 --> 00:03:10,588 Speaker 1: power teams. You host the Eagles, and then you travel 60 00:03:10,668 --> 00:03:12,468 Speaker 1: to the Commanders, who are having a heck of a 61 00:03:12,588 --> 00:03:15,668 Speaker 1: run right now and are not to be overlooked. This 62 00:03:15,748 --> 00:03:17,748 Speaker 1: is it right here. You want to be a power team, 63 00:03:18,228 --> 00:03:20,668 Speaker 1: play power football, go win. I don't know anyone who's 64 00:03:20,668 --> 00:03:23,748 Speaker 1: given them a shock tomorrow. They're injured, they're coming off 65 00:03:23,748 --> 00:03:26,148 Speaker 1: this terrible loss. Jones to Tunes. It look like Jones 66 00:03:26,148 --> 00:03:28,428 Speaker 1: came down to earth a little bit. But don't forget. 67 00:03:28,588 --> 00:03:31,068 Speaker 1: They had won a lot of close games going into 68 00:03:31,148 --> 00:03:33,588 Speaker 1: last week's lost to the Lions, and they know what's 69 00:03:33,628 --> 00:03:36,028 Speaker 1: at stake. They know what the deal is. They've already 70 00:03:36,028 --> 00:03:38,468 Speaker 1: been embarrassed once by the Cowboys at home on a 71 00:03:38,508 --> 00:03:41,028 Speaker 1: Monday night football game where they pleaded for the entire 72 00:03:41,068 --> 00:03:44,508 Speaker 1: fan base to break out their white outfits and they lost. 73 00:03:44,668 --> 00:03:48,388 Speaker 1: And now it was there. It was a Brian daybos 74 00:03:48,468 --> 00:03:50,188 Speaker 1: light out. It was this year we did that Monday 75 00:03:50,228 --> 00:03:52,828 Speaker 1: night fotball. Everyone white were white, and they're not. A 76 00:03:52,908 --> 00:03:55,508 Speaker 1: year ago. It looked like they're wearing another color. Afterwards, Um, 77 00:03:55,628 --> 00:03:57,708 Speaker 1: I will just say that the Giants, if they're a 78 00:03:57,788 --> 00:03:59,548 Speaker 1: power team, they win this game. If they're not, it's 79 00:03:59,548 --> 00:04:01,628 Speaker 1: still Okay, like you can still figure things out. It's 80 00:04:01,628 --> 00:04:02,948 Speaker 1: not a power team, and you're not going to be 81 00:04:03,028 --> 00:04:05,108 Speaker 1: ranked in the top five because don't belong in the 82 00:04:05,188 --> 00:04:07,428 Speaker 1: top five. A lot of Giants fans that I'm friends 83 00:04:07,468 --> 00:04:09,868 Speaker 1: with are talking forty two to ten Cowboys win this. 84 00:04:10,068 --> 00:04:12,628 Speaker 1: Really it feels like that there's a sense that the 85 00:04:12,748 --> 00:04:15,468 Speaker 1: balloon burst last week, maybe for both New York teams, 86 00:04:16,348 --> 00:04:19,068 Speaker 1: but certainly the Giants. The crowd was there. It was 87 00:04:19,108 --> 00:04:22,428 Speaker 1: a Thanksgiving weekend. It was everyone has no work on Monday. 88 00:04:22,468 --> 00:04:24,548 Speaker 1: You got the Lions in town and they got the 89 00:04:24,588 --> 00:04:27,788 Speaker 1: doors blown off of How do you respond. I don't 90 00:04:27,788 --> 00:04:29,428 Speaker 1: have a ton of faith. I'm not picking them. I 91 00:04:29,508 --> 00:04:32,348 Speaker 1: think the Cowboys win. However, doesn't matter what I think. 92 00:04:32,388 --> 00:04:34,628 Speaker 1: It's what the Giants do, what they believe in that building. 93 00:04:34,668 --> 00:04:36,468 Speaker 1: They have a chance to race a lot of doubt 94 00:04:36,508 --> 00:04:38,508 Speaker 1: from people. Kyla's a really good question. Once we had 95 00:04:38,548 --> 00:04:40,548 Speaker 1: our teams on the whiteboards, which was any of these 96 00:04:40,668 --> 00:04:42,988 Speaker 1: NFC teams rank in just the league right now at 97 00:04:43,028 --> 00:04:45,268 Speaker 1: top five because the AFC is playing out of their 98 00:04:45,348 --> 00:04:47,788 Speaker 1: minds right now. When I thought about, like the definition 99 00:04:47,868 --> 00:04:49,788 Speaker 1: of a power team, I want your direction first, Peter, 100 00:04:49,868 --> 00:04:51,108 Speaker 1: I was like, oh, you just have to win at 101 00:04:51,188 --> 00:04:52,468 Speaker 1: this point of the season, like you just have to 102 00:04:52,548 --> 00:04:55,068 Speaker 1: stack games. But to me, it's a power team. Is 103 00:04:55,268 --> 00:04:56,708 Speaker 1: one that you don't want to face for a full 104 00:04:56,788 --> 00:04:59,388 Speaker 1: sixty minutes. And to me, that's the Chiefs, that's the Bills, 105 00:04:59,428 --> 00:05:01,148 Speaker 1: that's the Eagles. Those are kind of my only three 106 00:05:01,268 --> 00:05:04,268 Speaker 1: right now. Can Brian Dable get this Giants team play 107 00:05:04,628 --> 00:05:07,428 Speaker 1: where you are a nightmare down the stretch, like a 108 00:05:07,548 --> 00:05:09,788 Speaker 1: game that you would wish it had just ended after 109 00:05:09,908 --> 00:05:12,148 Speaker 1: three quarters of football? To me, that's a power team. 110 00:05:12,388 --> 00:05:15,028 Speaker 1: And unless Davil can get this team right. And at 111 00:05:15,068 --> 00:05:17,068 Speaker 1: this point with the Giants, we all know this, frankly 112 00:05:17,108 --> 00:05:19,468 Speaker 1: about both teams here in New York City. It's not 113 00:05:19,588 --> 00:05:22,268 Speaker 1: just about this season anymore. It's building on a season 114 00:05:22,348 --> 00:05:24,148 Speaker 1: that we kind of least expected out of both the 115 00:05:24,228 --> 00:05:27,348 Speaker 1: Giants and the Jets. But for the Giants in particular, 116 00:05:27,588 --> 00:05:29,868 Speaker 1: how do you become a power team in the NFC? 117 00:05:30,708 --> 00:05:34,548 Speaker 1: Is becoming so powerful that you are relentless in the 118 00:05:34,628 --> 00:05:36,868 Speaker 1: fourth quarter? Is that quarterback the guy that's going to 119 00:05:36,868 --> 00:05:39,468 Speaker 1: be relentless for you? Saquon Barkley feels relentless right now. 120 00:05:39,828 --> 00:05:42,268 Speaker 1: But you have to build a roster an organization. Frankly, 121 00:05:42,308 --> 00:05:44,148 Speaker 1: I think Brian Davile is a relentless coach, But does 122 00:05:44,228 --> 00:05:46,388 Speaker 1: he have the guys that you don't want to face. 123 00:05:46,788 --> 00:05:48,548 Speaker 1: At the two minute warning where you're coming out of 124 00:05:48,588 --> 00:05:50,268 Speaker 1: the TV time out, you're like, oh, good God, the 125 00:05:50,388 --> 00:05:52,388 Speaker 1: Giants coming out of the TV is the worst the 126 00:05:52,508 --> 00:05:54,388 Speaker 1: Giants team you want to face? That, I think is 127 00:05:54,428 --> 00:05:56,748 Speaker 1: what makes a team powerful. Yeah, and I think there's 128 00:05:56,748 --> 00:05:59,348 Speaker 1: a sense just overall with the Giants that they've been overachieving, 129 00:05:59,548 --> 00:06:01,428 Speaker 1: and when you overachieve, it catch us up with you. 130 00:06:01,588 --> 00:06:03,628 Speaker 1: Also in the NFC, some weird stuff's gonna happen the 131 00:06:03,668 --> 00:06:05,628 Speaker 1: next six seven weeks. I think some teams are gonna 132 00:06:05,628 --> 00:06:07,468 Speaker 1: come running. I think some teams are gonna fade. We 133 00:06:07,588 --> 00:06:09,308 Speaker 1: did our top at the NFC. I had the Commanders 134 00:06:09,348 --> 00:06:11,148 Speaker 1: in my top five. I was. I liked the command 135 00:06:11,388 --> 00:06:13,428 Speaker 1: a lot. But your definition, Peter was you gotta go 136 00:06:13,508 --> 00:06:15,468 Speaker 1: on the road and you gotta make up for bad. 137 00:06:16,468 --> 00:06:19,028 Speaker 1: The elephant in the room is them versus Dak Prescott. 138 00:06:19,588 --> 00:06:21,828 Speaker 1: It is miserable. You want to you gotta take care 139 00:06:21,828 --> 00:06:24,548 Speaker 1: of business. You're in division. Look at Dak's last nine 140 00:06:24,588 --> 00:06:29,748 Speaker 1: starts against the Giants. It's blistering. It's embarrassing nine and 141 00:06:29,868 --> 00:06:34,028 Speaker 1: oh huge point differential thirteen. Now they beat Dallas earlier 142 00:06:34,108 --> 00:06:37,428 Speaker 1: this year, but that was the Cooper Rush experience. It's 143 00:06:37,428 --> 00:06:40,428 Speaker 1: a different deal, like that was not. It's not Dak. Guys, 144 00:06:40,468 --> 00:06:42,708 Speaker 1: you gotta take care of this really really quickly, because 145 00:06:43,388 --> 00:06:45,588 Speaker 1: you know, Patrick Mahomes doesn't have this. Yeah, but I 146 00:06:45,708 --> 00:06:48,708 Speaker 1: always lose to Derek carr every year. Now you kidding me, 147 00:06:49,548 --> 00:06:52,868 Speaker 1: it doesn't exist. Aaron Rodgers like, yeah, but whoever the 148 00:06:52,948 --> 00:06:55,588 Speaker 1: Barras has always gets me. That's what the Giants have. 149 00:06:55,828 --> 00:06:58,988 Speaker 1: So I just can't really take you seriously as someone 150 00:06:59,028 --> 00:07:01,588 Speaker 1: who's gonna win an NFC playoff game if the other 151 00:07:01,788 --> 00:07:04,828 Speaker 1: most famous, most high paid, best quarterback in your division 152 00:07:05,268 --> 00:07:09,348 Speaker 1: slaps you around every single time. Because there's another guy 153 00:07:09,428 --> 00:07:11,668 Speaker 1: we're not even talking about, Jalen Hurtz and Heineke is 154 00:07:11,668 --> 00:07:14,908 Speaker 1: coming running so power team. You can't let Dak Prescott 155 00:07:14,948 --> 00:07:16,308 Speaker 1: be one of your owners and as of right now 156 00:07:16,388 --> 00:07:18,388 Speaker 1: he is now. Listen, it's not it's not even Mahomes 157 00:07:18,508 --> 00:07:20,948 Speaker 1: or Alan or Rogers like the cream. Dak Prescott's a 158 00:07:20,988 --> 00:07:23,148 Speaker 1: really good quarterback. But like, you can't be O nine 159 00:07:23,188 --> 00:07:25,708 Speaker 1: against the last nine it's ridiculous. Gotta take care of that. Wow, 160 00:07:25,948 --> 00:07:29,228 Speaker 1: nine straight. I didn't realize that. Okay, Thanksgiving Day theme. 161 00:07:29,348 --> 00:07:33,028 Speaker 1: So tomorrow's Thanksgiving. You have this new girlfriend. Things against serious. 162 00:07:33,308 --> 00:07:36,948 Speaker 1: She wants to host Thanksgiving. You're extremely nervous because your 163 00:07:36,988 --> 00:07:40,228 Speaker 1: mom's judgmental, grandma has no filter. You don't have a 164 00:07:40,268 --> 00:07:43,028 Speaker 1: lot of faith going into this thing. But she wants 165 00:07:43,068 --> 00:07:44,668 Speaker 1: to do it. You're like, let's go for it. You 166 00:07:44,708 --> 00:07:46,948 Speaker 1: know her cookie is not as good as mom's. Family's 167 00:07:46,988 --> 00:07:50,628 Speaker 1: gonna hate it. Thursday comes, Thanksgiving's here. She's a hit. 168 00:07:51,148 --> 00:07:54,548 Speaker 1: Mom loves her. Grandma's fired off. Hey baby, when you 169 00:07:54,628 --> 00:07:58,588 Speaker 1: got married, everybody is fired up about her. That is 170 00:07:58,628 --> 00:08:02,308 Speaker 1: the New York Giants. You said, overachie, overachievers. Going into 171 00:08:02,388 --> 00:08:05,028 Speaker 1: this season, Giants fans weren't like, this is our year. 172 00:08:05,028 --> 00:08:07,108 Speaker 1: We're gonna make the playoffs. We're gonna make a run 173 00:08:07,228 --> 00:08:09,868 Speaker 1: to me a power five team in the NFC as 174 00:08:09,908 --> 00:08:12,988 Speaker 1: teams we're talking about as Super Bowl contenders. I don't 175 00:08:13,028 --> 00:08:16,428 Speaker 1: have the Giants there, but that's okay. Coming into this season, 176 00:08:16,468 --> 00:08:18,628 Speaker 1: it were just like, all right, Dabeles, just get in there. 177 00:08:18,708 --> 00:08:20,748 Speaker 1: Let's see if they can start to get things going 178 00:08:20,828 --> 00:08:23,228 Speaker 1: in the right direction. I've been on many teams where 179 00:08:23,268 --> 00:08:25,828 Speaker 1: you get a new head coach, a new general manager, 180 00:08:26,108 --> 00:08:29,148 Speaker 1: and it's so hard to get players and people within 181 00:08:29,228 --> 00:08:31,908 Speaker 1: the organization to buy in because the thing you need 182 00:08:31,988 --> 00:08:35,148 Speaker 1: to do that are winning football games. They've done that, 183 00:08:35,348 --> 00:08:38,188 Speaker 1: They've won games. They see that the system works. They 184 00:08:38,268 --> 00:08:40,788 Speaker 1: know that what coach Dabele is preaching, if we could 185 00:08:40,868 --> 00:08:42,388 Speaker 1: execute it and we go out there and do what 186 00:08:42,468 --> 00:08:45,628 Speaker 1: we're supposed to do, we'll win games. The Giants are 187 00:08:45,628 --> 00:08:48,708 Speaker 1: a power team in the future. Let's see what the draft, rings, 188 00:08:49,068 --> 00:08:51,548 Speaker 1: cre agency, all of those things. It's not their year 189 00:08:51,628 --> 00:08:54,108 Speaker 1: to be a power team, but they're going to possibly 190 00:08:54,188 --> 00:08:56,108 Speaker 1: be in the playoffs and have a chance to have 191 00:08:56,228 --> 00:08:59,108 Speaker 1: a good season. Their girlfriend showed up on Thursday. She 192 00:08:59,268 --> 00:09:02,708 Speaker 1: cooked a good meal, she entertained, she impressed everybody. You 193 00:09:02,868 --> 00:09:05,588 Speaker 1: walk away, you're like things looking up, like the future 194 00:09:05,708 --> 00:09:07,548 Speaker 1: is bright for the Giants. That's what it is. If 195 00:09:07,788 --> 00:09:10,548 Speaker 1: so if the Giants crushing on Thanksgiving, people are gonna 196 00:09:10,548 --> 00:09:12,228 Speaker 1: want to jump on that bandwagon and to commit and 197 00:09:12,308 --> 00:09:15,108 Speaker 1: marry the girlfriend. But you're saying you need sustained the 198 00:09:15,268 --> 00:09:18,108 Speaker 1: need sustained performance. What do you guys think about? And 199 00:09:18,148 --> 00:09:19,188 Speaker 1: I love the now due what do you think of 200 00:09:19,268 --> 00:09:21,508 Speaker 1: my take that it's forty two ten? This thing is like, 201 00:09:21,668 --> 00:09:24,228 Speaker 1: this is the high likelihood, right? Doesn't it feel the 202 00:09:24,268 --> 00:09:25,828 Speaker 1: way coming off of what Dallas just did and what 203 00:09:25,908 --> 00:09:28,708 Speaker 1: the Giants is that I'm not They've played good football 204 00:09:28,788 --> 00:09:31,228 Speaker 1: under Dable. It hasn't been like is that Lions game? 205 00:09:31,508 --> 00:09:34,988 Speaker 1: It was twenty four they fell on their face a 206 00:09:35,068 --> 00:09:37,268 Speaker 1: little bit, but it wasn't forty two. Then. I know 207 00:09:37,388 --> 00:09:40,068 Speaker 1: the Lions obviously aren't the Cowboys, So it was just 208 00:09:40,268 --> 00:09:42,948 Speaker 1: like they just they played well enough to be in 209 00:09:43,228 --> 00:09:46,148 Speaker 1: games each and every week. I don't have a reason 210 00:09:46,188 --> 00:09:47,988 Speaker 1: to really believe that it just falls all the way 211 00:09:48,028 --> 00:09:50,068 Speaker 1: off the map, you know. I just I'm not convinced 212 00:09:50,148 --> 00:09:52,188 Speaker 1: by this. Giants. You shouldn't at this season. And that's 213 00:09:52,228 --> 00:09:54,508 Speaker 1: why I can't get on board with like the they're, oh, 214 00:09:54,668 --> 00:09:57,028 Speaker 1: they're gonna walk in somewhere against a really good team. 215 00:09:57,068 --> 00:09:59,588 Speaker 1: It's like really good football right now at their house 216 00:10:00,108 --> 00:10:03,188 Speaker 1: on their holiday in the NFL and say we're gonna 217 00:10:03,228 --> 00:10:06,428 Speaker 1: beat you game after I mean the Cowboys game after 218 00:10:06,508 --> 00:10:09,028 Speaker 1: the game as well. See how that had Daniel Jones 219 00:10:09,108 --> 00:10:11,668 Speaker 1: pieces massive if if if he does not play well 220 00:10:11,708 --> 00:10:13,628 Speaker 1: in this game there's a lot more at him. I'm 221 00:10:13,628 --> 00:10:16,348 Speaker 1: not kidding. Forty eight hours ago we're talking about the Giants, 222 00:10:16,548 --> 00:10:19,068 Speaker 1: or seventy two hours ago, giants being division leaders, we're 223 00:10:19,108 --> 00:10:21,228 Speaker 1: talking about Daniel Jones getting a long term extension. They 224 00:10:21,308 --> 00:10:23,068 Speaker 1: fall on their face on Thanksgiving. I think a lot 225 00:10:23,108 --> 00:10:24,908 Speaker 1: of that stuff can be erased. And suddenly we're back 226 00:10:24,908 --> 00:10:27,388 Speaker 1: at the drawing board. We really bringing Daniel jonesman. Michael 227 00:10:27,388 --> 00:10:29,828 Speaker 1: Parsons ate up the vics off like a turkey leg 228 00:10:29,908 --> 00:10:32,428 Speaker 1: on sun and that just may have been the appetizer 229 00:10:32,588 --> 00:10:36,148 Speaker 1: for the Cowboys defense. Oh gosh, fodder fodder for all 230 00:10:36,348 --> 00:10:41,908 Speaker 1: so special guests back in studio, Matt rules dealer and 231 00:10:42,028 --> 00:10:44,228 Speaker 1: of course he was in charge now with Carolina Panthers, 232 00:10:44,308 --> 00:10:48,108 Speaker 1: but now he's become a New York City tourist. That 233 00:10:48,268 --> 00:10:52,788 Speaker 1: was your name, Absolutely unbelievable, wicked last night Killed Serendipity 234 00:10:52,868 --> 00:10:54,748 Speaker 1: was amazing rate great to go there with three kids 235 00:10:54,748 --> 00:10:57,268 Speaker 1: because you get a little bit of everyone's dessert. But 236 00:10:57,388 --> 00:11:00,388 Speaker 1: I gotta tell you, guys, the rockets, I mean Chef's kiss. 237 00:11:00,948 --> 00:11:02,348 Speaker 1: Usually I go to those things. I look at my kids, 238 00:11:02,388 --> 00:11:03,828 Speaker 1: they're having fun, and I'm like looking, I'm like a 239 00:11:03,828 --> 00:11:07,028 Speaker 1: good dat my eyes were glued, so you have to 240 00:11:07,148 --> 00:11:09,468 Speaker 1: go all right, listen, um, we we're gonna try to 241 00:11:09,468 --> 00:11:13,028 Speaker 1: get it back to football. He comes out yesterday. Carolina Panthers, 242 00:11:13,028 --> 00:11:15,268 Speaker 1: who are playing Denver this weekend. They have decided to 243 00:11:15,788 --> 00:11:20,068 Speaker 1: sit Baker Mayfield and start Sam Darnold at quarterback. Your 244 00:11:20,108 --> 00:11:22,988 Speaker 1: thoughts on both of those developments, You know, it's obviously 245 00:11:23,028 --> 00:11:24,588 Speaker 1: hard for me to talk about, yeah, because because I 246 00:11:24,668 --> 00:11:27,148 Speaker 1: love I love Baker Mayfield. I love the competitor that 247 00:11:27,228 --> 00:11:29,868 Speaker 1: he is, and I'm sad for him. P J. Walker 248 00:11:29,908 --> 00:11:31,628 Speaker 1: obviously's close to my heart. I've known him since he 249 00:11:31,708 --> 00:11:33,828 Speaker 1: was seventeen years old, recruiting him at an Applebee's and 250 00:11:33,948 --> 00:11:35,908 Speaker 1: you know Elizabeth, New Jersey. Now he's in the NFL. 251 00:11:35,948 --> 00:11:39,188 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, oh yeah. And so for Sam, I'm so 252 00:11:39,308 --> 00:11:41,628 Speaker 1: happy for him because I remember when I called him 253 00:11:41,628 --> 00:11:42,908 Speaker 1: and let him know that we were going to make 254 00:11:42,948 --> 00:11:45,788 Speaker 1: the trade for Baker. He handled it not like a 255 00:11:45,908 --> 00:11:47,788 Speaker 1: good pro, like a great pro. He's like coach that 256 00:11:47,868 --> 00:11:49,308 Speaker 1: this will be great for the team, this will make 257 00:11:49,348 --> 00:11:51,828 Speaker 1: me a better quarterback. And then seeing him have that injury, 258 00:11:51,828 --> 00:11:55,028 Speaker 1: because he's got talent, I mean, he's he's smart, he's 259 00:11:55,028 --> 00:11:57,268 Speaker 1: a team guy. He's got a great arm, and he 260 00:11:57,348 --> 00:11:59,268 Speaker 1: brings some mobility, which I think you need versus that 261 00:11:59,428 --> 00:12:02,828 Speaker 1: that Denver's Denver defense. So I'm hoping for his sake, 262 00:12:02,908 --> 00:12:04,708 Speaker 1: he's such a good person. I'm hoping to Sam goes 263 00:12:04,708 --> 00:12:06,068 Speaker 1: out in place work. Likely he's going to be a 264 00:12:06,068 --> 00:12:07,748 Speaker 1: free agent. Would you if a coach college and he 265 00:12:07,828 --> 00:12:09,348 Speaker 1: was like, Hey, what am I getting in Sam Darnold, 266 00:12:09,428 --> 00:12:11,828 Speaker 1: you would speak Hylie and give him the seal of Hey, 267 00:12:11,988 --> 00:12:13,588 Speaker 1: I had him. This guy's a good dude. He's a 268 00:12:13,628 --> 00:12:16,588 Speaker 1: great dude. I would absolutely speak Kylie of Sam just 269 00:12:16,668 --> 00:12:18,588 Speaker 1: who he is as a person. But he's got traits. 270 00:12:18,628 --> 00:12:20,228 Speaker 1: He's got a skill set, and I think in the 271 00:12:20,348 --> 00:12:23,708 Speaker 1: right offense for him, his ability to run the football 272 00:12:24,028 --> 00:12:25,988 Speaker 1: come off on play action. He's got the big arm, 273 00:12:26,068 --> 00:12:28,268 Speaker 1: he can extend plays. I think in some of those 274 00:12:28,348 --> 00:12:31,668 Speaker 1: you know, wide zone naked offenses, he could really thrive. 275 00:12:32,668 --> 00:12:35,348 Speaker 1: But he's also the ultimate professional the locker room, which 276 00:12:35,348 --> 00:12:38,748 Speaker 1: I think you really needed a quarterback. Coaches, owners, they 277 00:12:38,788 --> 00:12:40,708 Speaker 1: could be calling you for lots of opinions on guys 278 00:12:40,748 --> 00:12:42,348 Speaker 1: that you've coaches, but we also just might be fielding 279 00:12:42,388 --> 00:12:45,188 Speaker 1: phone calls for maybe future jobs that you have what's 280 00:12:45,268 --> 00:12:46,908 Speaker 1: next for you? You know, I don't. I don't know. 281 00:12:47,348 --> 00:12:49,788 Speaker 1: I really don't. Um If I go back three years ago, 282 00:12:49,828 --> 00:12:53,188 Speaker 1: I was sitting at my table in Waco, Texas, and 283 00:12:53,228 --> 00:12:54,908 Speaker 1: I had had a pretty good life, you know, and 284 00:12:55,388 --> 00:12:57,708 Speaker 1: I made the decision to come to the NFL because 285 00:12:57,748 --> 00:12:59,868 Speaker 1: I wanted to do it and my son was My 286 00:12:59,948 --> 00:13:02,188 Speaker 1: son was going into his freshman year of high school. 287 00:13:02,268 --> 00:13:04,268 Speaker 1: And really I had two goals. I wanted to number 288 00:13:04,268 --> 00:13:06,188 Speaker 1: one one. I wanted to win the Super Bowl and 289 00:13:06,268 --> 00:13:08,508 Speaker 1: bring a championship to Carolina. I feel like they deserve that. 290 00:13:08,588 --> 00:13:10,388 Speaker 1: But I also wanted my son to graduate high school. 291 00:13:10,428 --> 00:13:11,908 Speaker 1: You know, I've moved around, He's been to so many 292 00:13:11,948 --> 00:13:13,588 Speaker 1: different schools, and I just wanted to give him the 293 00:13:13,628 --> 00:13:14,948 Speaker 1: gift of hey, you can go to high school in 294 00:13:14,988 --> 00:13:17,668 Speaker 1: one place. He's been to twelve thirteen different schools. So yeah, 295 00:13:17,708 --> 00:13:20,108 Speaker 1: so it'll be a senior next year. And you know, 296 00:13:20,148 --> 00:13:21,388 Speaker 1: I was kind of like a right, this happened. You know, 297 00:13:21,548 --> 00:13:23,788 Speaker 1: I'll obviously listen to things. I know this, I don't 298 00:13:23,828 --> 00:13:25,588 Speaker 1: care where I coach. It has to be the right fit, 299 00:13:25,908 --> 00:13:27,548 Speaker 1: has to be the right people. It's not really where 300 00:13:27,668 --> 00:13:29,268 Speaker 1: I've learned, it's who. But you know, my son said 301 00:13:29,268 --> 00:13:30,508 Speaker 1: to me. He actually said it to me last night. 302 00:13:30,548 --> 00:13:32,108 Speaker 1: If Dad, you need a coach, like I want you 303 00:13:32,188 --> 00:13:34,548 Speaker 1: to coach. I'm like, but it's your senior year. Man. 304 00:13:34,548 --> 00:13:36,308 Speaker 1: You're on the basketball team, You're on the golf team. 305 00:13:36,668 --> 00:13:39,948 Speaker 1: He's like, Dad, players, young people, that's what you do. 306 00:13:40,188 --> 00:13:41,668 Speaker 1: And so I mean I watched you do bravey On 307 00:13:41,708 --> 00:13:43,828 Speaker 1: earlier from in the Green like like I coached bravey 308 00:13:43,908 --> 00:13:46,188 Speaker 1: On in college, like my daughters know him. Like so, 309 00:13:46,508 --> 00:13:48,188 Speaker 1: so I don't know where I'll coach. I loved to 310 00:13:48,228 --> 00:13:51,268 Speaker 1: the NFL. I loved college football. Most importantly for me, 311 00:13:51,708 --> 00:13:54,828 Speaker 1: I loved pouring into young people. You know, it's things 312 00:13:54,828 --> 00:13:57,748 Speaker 1: getting fired. I mean it's terrible, but the calls and 313 00:13:57,828 --> 00:14:00,188 Speaker 1: the text messages like Deon Dawkins texted me, and I'll 314 00:14:00,228 --> 00:14:02,108 Speaker 1: tell you this, man, it meant more to me than 315 00:14:02,188 --> 00:14:04,028 Speaker 1: anything else, the things he said to me. And so 316 00:14:04,388 --> 00:14:06,028 Speaker 1: I just want to have an impact on people. So 317 00:14:06,348 --> 00:14:07,828 Speaker 1: whenever that comes, I don't know when it will be, 318 00:14:08,028 --> 00:14:09,788 Speaker 1: but I got my son pushing me. What it was, 319 00:14:09,868 --> 00:14:12,468 Speaker 1: go here, let's go there. So it could be monday, 320 00:14:12,548 --> 00:14:14,668 Speaker 1: it could be two years from now. But when it comes, 321 00:14:14,828 --> 00:14:16,588 Speaker 1: you know, I'll be ready. How do you reconcile that. 322 00:14:16,668 --> 00:14:18,108 Speaker 1: You know, you've had some success in college, and you 323 00:14:18,148 --> 00:14:20,748 Speaker 1: obviously loved the college game. Yet when you've tasted that, 324 00:14:20,948 --> 00:14:23,748 Speaker 1: that sweet nectar of NFL head coaching, it's the top 325 00:14:23,788 --> 00:14:25,428 Speaker 1: of the profession. Do you want to go back to 326 00:14:25,548 --> 00:14:27,748 Speaker 1: that or you just you're more inclined to the college game. 327 00:14:27,748 --> 00:14:29,628 Speaker 1: How do you make that decision? Yeah? I mean I 328 00:14:29,748 --> 00:14:31,428 Speaker 1: loved coaching in the NFL.

But now I know, like, hey, 349 00:15:19,468 --> 00:15:21,068 Speaker 1: I need to help them get a second contract, like 350 00:15:21,108 --> 00:15:22,348 Speaker 1: I need to help them get a third. I need 351 00:15:22,388 --> 00:15:24,348 Speaker 1: to help them play like you did. And you can 352 00:15:24,428 --> 00:15:26,548 Speaker 1: only do that by being a true pro. And um, 353 00:15:26,868 --> 00:15:28,468 Speaker 1: maybe that's why I came to the NFL. I don't know. 354 00:15:28,668 --> 00:15:30,948 Speaker 1: We had you on the show in Philadelphia and you 355 00:15:31,028 --> 00:15:32,428 Speaker 1: were the coach at Temple. I think you had just 356 00:15:32,588 --> 00:15:35,508 Speaker 1: accepted the job at Baylor and new Hassan Reddicks here 357 00:15:35,588 --> 00:15:37,028 Speaker 1: in the draft and you came out and talking. People 358 00:15:37,188 --> 00:15:38,628 Speaker 1: were blowing away like this is our guy, this is 359 00:15:38,628 --> 00:15:40,628 Speaker 1: our coach, and we've watched you rise. I have to 360 00:15:40,708 --> 00:15:42,788 Speaker 1: think you missed the recruiting bug a little bit too, 361 00:15:43,108 --> 00:15:45,348 Speaker 1: Or did coaching in the NFL where you can kick 362 00:15:45,428 --> 00:15:47,428 Speaker 1: back and kind of just watch film. Did you say 363 00:15:47,508 --> 00:15:48,748 Speaker 1: I don't want to get on the road and have 364 00:15:48,868 --> 00:15:52,388 Speaker 1: to go to some town in the middle of someone 365 00:15:52,628 --> 00:15:54,188 Speaker 1: way or do you have that bug of like there's 366 00:15:54,188 --> 00:15:55,588 Speaker 1: nothing I love more than being in a living room 367 00:15:55,628 --> 00:15:57,268 Speaker 1: and just selling Hey, let me provide and let me 368 00:15:57,308 --> 00:15:58,908 Speaker 1: show you what we can bring you. Yeah, I think 369 00:15:58,948 --> 00:16:00,868 Speaker 1: it's both. You know, I loved the draft process, and 370 00:16:01,028 --> 00:16:02,468 Speaker 1: you know, you go back and I did it with Marty, 371 00:16:02,548 --> 00:16:03,868 Speaker 1: I did with Scott Fitter or those are two of 372 00:16:03,868 --> 00:16:05,148 Speaker 1: the best gm if you could ever work with. But 373 00:16:05,268 --> 00:16:07,108 Speaker 1: I'm pretty proud of Derek Brown, like he I think 374 00:16:07,148 --> 00:16:08,948 Speaker 1: he should be in the Pro Bowls. I'm pretty proud 375 00:16:08,988 --> 00:16:10,668 Speaker 1: of JC Horn. I think he's gonna be one of 376 00:16:10,708 --> 00:16:13,028 Speaker 1: the best to play. I think Ikey. So I love 377 00:16:13,108 --> 00:16:15,468 Speaker 1: the draft process, but at the end of the day, 378 00:16:15,548 --> 00:16:18,108 Speaker 1: like I enjoyed recruiting too, a number one you can 379 00:16:18,188 --> 00:16:20,668 Speaker 1: go get yourself fifteen first round draft picks, not just one. 380 00:16:21,188 --> 00:16:22,748 Speaker 1: But you know, you meet a lot of great people. 381 00:16:22,828 --> 00:16:24,348 Speaker 1: You meet a lot of great What's it like when 382 00:16:24,348 --> 00:16:27,108 Speaker 1: you hear Hey, Sa Savings coming on Monday, Like, there's 383 00:16:27,148 --> 00:16:28,748 Speaker 1: no worse feeling in the world, Peter than you pull 384 00:16:28,828 --> 00:16:30,348 Speaker 1: up on a plane and you look out and you 385 00:16:30,388 --> 00:16:33,428 Speaker 1: see the Alabama playing day, You're like, all right, boy 386 00:16:34,788 --> 00:16:37,668 Speaker 1: who's here to see so he coach savn's the best 387 00:16:37,708 --> 00:16:40,028 Speaker 1: ever doing. But it's fun to get done. And you 388 00:16:40,148 --> 00:16:42,748 Speaker 1: talked about pouring into young people. You're just in the 389 00:16:42,868 --> 00:16:45,988 Speaker 1: NFL this passion been in college football. What is the 390 00:16:46,148 --> 00:16:48,268 Speaker 1: difference as you're going in there, you're coaching and you're 391 00:16:48,308 --> 00:16:51,348 Speaker 1: trying to upgrade somebody's life or just continue We talked 392 00:16:51,348 --> 00:16:54,908 Speaker 1: about second contracts are getting to the NFL. Age is 393 00:16:54,908 --> 00:16:57,668 Speaker 1: a huge thing. Guys have families. Compared to these eighteen 394 00:16:57,748 --> 00:17:00,228 Speaker 1: year olds. How different is it coaching and being a 395 00:17:00,348 --> 00:17:03,348 Speaker 1: leader of college players versus NFL player? It's it's a 396 00:17:03,428 --> 00:17:06,028 Speaker 1: lot different. And as you said, like you know, when 397 00:17:06,068 --> 00:17:07,628 Speaker 1: you're in college, man, I'm sitting there like you know, 398 00:17:07,868 --> 00:17:09,348 Speaker 1: they see me. I'm like, why didn't you end in 399 00:17:09,348 --> 00:17:11,388 Speaker 1: your assignment? Why why are you five minutes late to this? 400 00:17:11,548 --> 00:17:13,068 Speaker 1: How much can you service did you do last week? 401 00:17:13,068 --> 00:17:14,948 Speaker 1: You get to the NFL, it just becomes about hey, 402 00:17:15,028 --> 00:17:17,348 Speaker 1: just the football. But as I said yesterday, like you know, 403 00:17:17,588 --> 00:17:19,948 Speaker 1: I also learned there's so many similarities. You know, at 404 00:17:19,988 --> 00:17:21,748 Speaker 1: the end of the day, there's two kinds of coaches 405 00:17:21,788 --> 00:17:23,828 Speaker 1: in this world. The kinds of coaches who think players 406 00:17:23,868 --> 00:17:26,628 Speaker 1: are there to help them or players coaches who think 407 00:17:26,668 --> 00:17:28,388 Speaker 1: that they're there to help players. And I don't care 408 00:17:28,388 --> 00:17:30,188 Speaker 1: if that's the NFL, I don't care. If that's college, 409 00:17:30,228 --> 00:17:31,708 Speaker 1: I don't care if that's high school. Like you're either 410 00:17:31,748 --> 00:17:33,428 Speaker 1: there for the players or you're not. And so I 411 00:17:33,588 --> 00:17:36,308 Speaker 1: liked the experience in the NFL. I liked having those conversations. 412 00:17:36,348 --> 00:17:38,308 Speaker 1: I liked having fifty three guys that I could look at. 413 00:17:38,388 --> 00:17:40,548 Speaker 1: You know, I hated I hated coaching somebody and then 414 00:17:40,548 --> 00:17:41,908 Speaker 1: all of a sudden having to bring them in and say, hey, 415 00:17:41,908 --> 00:17:44,388 Speaker 1: we're letting you go. That's that's the hardest part for 416 00:17:44,708 --> 00:17:46,068 Speaker 1: that was the hardest part for me. And it's the 417 00:17:46,108 --> 00:17:48,148 Speaker 1: part I couldn't stand because just like I didn't like 418 00:17:48,188 --> 00:17:50,988 Speaker 1: getting fired, they didn't like getting fired. And so in college, 419 00:17:51,028 --> 00:17:52,548 Speaker 1: you have someone for four years, you know, it's a 420 00:17:52,548 --> 00:17:54,628 Speaker 1: little more developmental, you can see where they end up. 421 00:17:54,628 --> 00:17:55,908 Speaker 1: You have them for the rest of their lives. I 422 00:17:55,988 --> 00:17:57,308 Speaker 1: try to do that in the NFL, and I think 423 00:17:57,308 --> 00:17:59,228 Speaker 1: the best I think the Sean McVay is the world. 424 00:17:59,268 --> 00:18:01,268 Speaker 1: I think they do do that and that's why they're successful. 425 00:18:01,428 --> 00:18:04,748 Speaker 1: Coach Man is awesome. Talking to you peelback a little 426 00:18:04,748 --> 00:18:06,388 Speaker 1: bit we had questions on this car. We didn't ask 427 00:18:06,388 --> 00:18:08,388 Speaker 1: any of moment, so I'm like, lovely it is talking 428 00:18:08,428 --> 00:18:10,668 Speaker 1: to this man's fantastic. I just want to hear a coach. 429 00:18:10,708 --> 00:18:13,148 Speaker 1: You guys picked six this past draft year. What do 430 00:18:13,188 --> 00:18:15,228 Speaker 1: you think of Anne Hutchinson? What was the scouting report? 431 00:18:15,508 --> 00:18:16,988 Speaker 1: You know, Aiden was one of those guys that you know, 432 00:18:17,028 --> 00:18:19,548 Speaker 1: you heard about him. You kind of looked at his 433 00:18:19,588 --> 00:18:21,108 Speaker 1: stats and then you turn the tape on it, you 434 00:18:21,148 --> 00:18:23,908 Speaker 1: were like, oh my goodness. I mean he's just relentless 435 00:18:24,028 --> 00:18:26,068 Speaker 1: and fast. He can he can intercept the ball, he 436 00:18:26,068 --> 00:18:28,268 Speaker 1: can sack the quarterback, he can sing, he can do it, 437 00:18:28,428 --> 00:18:31,628 Speaker 1: I can dance. We get to see him on Thanksgiving Day, 438 00:18:31,708 --> 00:18:34,508 Speaker 1: try to chase Josh down and Rob Peter's top fab five. Peter, 439 00:18:34,588 --> 00:18:36,828 Speaker 1: we love it. We're out of here, Isaiah Pacheco. We 440 00:18:36,828 --> 00:18:38,308 Speaker 1: will see you next week. We see it every week. 441 00:18:39,588 --> 00:18:42,948 Speaker 1: I'm this with Matt Ruld uncle anywhere. Great job, Peter, 442 00:18:43,268 --> 00:18:58,988 Speaker 1: great job, coach.

They're not one 444 00:19:02,028 --> 00:19:04,068 Speaker 1: of them, though, but they're playing pretty great.

The Buffalo Bills. 450 00:19:16,388 --> 00:19:18,868 Speaker 1: For me, I think when you think about Thanksgiving, it's 451 00:19:18,908 --> 00:19:21,068 Speaker 1: just like it's your day to get your cheap meal, 452 00:19:21,188 --> 00:19:23,788 Speaker 1: to eat whatever you want.

Frankly, when things weren't going that great for 493 00:21:16,908 --> 00:21:18,988 Speaker 1: the Lions this year, he felt a little vally for 494 00:21:19,028 --> 00:21:20,668 Speaker 1: Campbell because the world fell in love with him during 495 00:21:20,708 --> 00:21:23,748 Speaker 1: hard Knocks. I think the Lions could host the Bills 496 00:21:23,828 --> 00:21:26,588 Speaker 1: after having a tumultuous knock that cookie back on the floor, 497 00:21:26,748 --> 00:21:28,748 Speaker 1: give the Bills maybe some business. It's gonna be hard 498 00:21:28,788 --> 00:21:30,268 Speaker 1: to beat him, but I think this game is a 499 00:21:30,348 --> 00:21:32,628 Speaker 1: lot more exciting to watch and some people expect. I'm 500 00:21:32,668 --> 00:21:34,708 Speaker 1: with you, Jamie, and I'm so happy to say that 501 00:21:34,748 --> 00:21:38,388 Speaker 1: I'm interested in the Lions. Yeah, it's unbelievable, Peter, he 502 00:21:38,508 --> 00:21:40,828 Speaker 1: made it. We've sat through. We'll get this tomorrow. Some 503 00:21:41,148 --> 00:21:44,868 Speaker 1: bad Lions teams on Thanksgiving, some bad Lions quarterback. The 504 00:21:44,948 --> 00:21:46,708 Speaker 1: Lions are in a three game win streak. This is 505 00:21:46,788 --> 00:21:50,148 Speaker 1: the second time since the nineteen sixties that they have 506 00:21:50,228 --> 00:21:51,988 Speaker 1: had a three game win streak going in Thanksgiving. It 507 00:21:52,148 --> 00:21:54,908 Speaker 1: just doesn't happen. And not only the win streak. Oh, 508 00:21:54,948 --> 00:21:56,548 Speaker 1: the Bears missed the next point and they beat the 509 00:21:56,828 --> 00:22:00,148 Speaker 1: crappy Bears. Last week's win was a real win against 510 00:22:00,188 --> 00:22:02,708 Speaker 1: a real team that matters on the road, in which 511 00:22:02,788 --> 00:22:06,028 Speaker 1: they thumped a winning Giants team. And it wasn't just 512 00:22:06,148 --> 00:22:08,628 Speaker 1: Jared Goffro on the ball sixty times. It was defense, 513 00:22:08,748 --> 00:22:10,868 Speaker 1: and it was running and it was created turnovers like 514 00:22:10,948 --> 00:22:13,468 Speaker 1: real stuff. And I feel very patronizing into the Lions. 515 00:22:13,468 --> 00:22:15,548 Speaker 1: I mean, like they're a real team. But we've been 516 00:22:15,588 --> 00:22:17,108 Speaker 1: through a lot with the Lions. They have a coach, 517 00:22:17,188 --> 00:22:19,508 Speaker 1: they believe in, they have star players, like Jamie said, 518 00:22:19,588 --> 00:22:22,388 Speaker 1: and it's not just cute anymore. It's not cute. Oh 519 00:22:22,588 --> 00:22:24,188 Speaker 1: nice for the Lions. They won a game or two. 520 00:22:25,188 --> 00:22:28,468 Speaker 1: Talking to Josh yesterday, I just mentioned this Aiden Hutchinson 521 00:22:28,588 --> 00:22:30,188 Speaker 1: and you know, it's this rookie. What are you think 522 00:22:30,228 --> 00:22:32,468 Speaker 1: of him? Immediately I didn't finish the sentence. He jumped 523 00:22:32,508 --> 00:22:34,628 Speaker 1: into the spiel about, yeah, that guy's got two interceptions 524 00:22:34,708 --> 00:22:36,188 Speaker 1: like that. You don't do that at that position. That's 525 00:22:36,228 --> 00:22:38,468 Speaker 1: t J. Watt stuff, like nobody does that. He's a 526 00:22:38,508 --> 00:22:40,348 Speaker 1: hell of a player, Like we have huge game plans 527 00:22:40,388 --> 00:22:42,068 Speaker 1: for him, like all kinds of things, like he is 528 00:22:42,188 --> 00:22:44,668 Speaker 1: on it. He is about Campbell. This is a real game. 529 00:22:44,828 --> 00:22:47,228 Speaker 1: I can't believe it when you saw the schedule in August, 530 00:22:47,428 --> 00:22:52,228 Speaker 1: oh Man, Thanksgiving Bills, the Lions out pass the Peas. 531 00:22:52,708 --> 00:22:55,148 Speaker 1: It's not It's a real game for against two real teams. Peter, 532 00:22:55,228 --> 00:22:56,868 Speaker 1: I'm so fired off. You know they're four and six 533 00:22:57,068 --> 00:22:59,148 Speaker 1: right now, and I'm looking at this this sheet that 534 00:22:59,268 --> 00:23:01,388 Speaker 1: has all the different teams that you know the Packers 535 00:23:01,428 --> 00:23:03,788 Speaker 1: are four and seven, like they're right in this thing, 536 00:23:03,948 --> 00:23:06,468 Speaker 1: and we're gonna say, hey, the Packers still are alive. 537 00:23:06,548 --> 00:23:08,868 Speaker 1: The Lions are very much alive, and they're playing better football. 538 00:23:08,908 --> 00:23:10,908 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go to a team in a quarterback all right. 539 00:23:10,908 --> 00:23:13,108 Speaker 1: If I told you blind taste tests don't look at anything, 540 00:23:13,788 --> 00:23:16,788 Speaker 1: quarterback went twenty three of twenty seven for two hundred 541 00:23:16,828 --> 00:23:18,908 Speaker 1: and forty six yards and his team won. Would you 542 00:23:18,948 --> 00:23:21,668 Speaker 1: say that quarterback had a good day or twenty seven 543 00:23:22,988 --> 00:23:25,348 Speaker 1: and bad weather. That was what Mac Jones did on 544 00:23:25,468 --> 00:23:28,588 Speaker 1: Sunday ten to three win where they didn't score any touchdowns. 545 00:23:28,668 --> 00:23:31,828 Speaker 1: Mac Jones said he committed a full audit of his 546 00:23:31,868 --> 00:23:34,268 Speaker 1: performance in this season during the Bible. A full audit. 547 00:23:34,308 --> 00:23:35,908 Speaker 1: I mean he watched every snap they had and he's 548 00:23:35,908 --> 00:23:39,148 Speaker 1: gonna come back better. No turnovers twenty three or twenty seven. 549 00:23:39,308 --> 00:23:41,028 Speaker 1: And here we are, and just like you're saying about 550 00:23:41,028 --> 00:23:43,788 Speaker 1: the Lions, I'm saying about the Patriots six and four 551 00:23:44,508 --> 00:23:46,988 Speaker 1: right in the thick of things, just when you wanted 552 00:23:47,028 --> 00:23:49,068 Speaker 1: to say that this team had major problems after a 553 00:23:49,148 --> 00:23:52,508 Speaker 1: few losses early on. I think the Patriots are really interesting. 554 00:23:52,668 --> 00:23:55,468 Speaker 1: And last year Jones rattled off seven straight wins and 555 00:23:55,508 --> 00:23:58,068 Speaker 1: we crowned him and they fell off late. Right now, Jones, 556 00:23:58,268 --> 00:23:59,828 Speaker 1: whether you think he's going to the Pro Bowl and 557 00:23:59,948 --> 00:24:01,668 Speaker 1: doing the gritty this year or not, he is still 558 00:24:01,828 --> 00:24:04,868 Speaker 1: rattling off wins and this team is getting the done. 559 00:24:05,028 --> 00:24:08,068 Speaker 1: I look at this thing, New England at Minnesota. We 560 00:24:08,188 --> 00:24:09,908 Speaker 1: know all eyes are on the Vikings and what they 561 00:24:09,948 --> 00:24:12,468 Speaker 1: are coming off of New England wins again, Guys, suddenly 562 00:24:12,548 --> 00:24:14,868 Speaker 1: they're seven and four. We're talking they might be in 563 00:24:14,908 --> 00:24:16,588 Speaker 1: there with the Dolphins and the Bills all the way 564 00:24:16,588 --> 00:24:18,988 Speaker 1: to the who knows. The Patriots might be the ones 565 00:24:18,988 --> 00:24:20,948 Speaker 1: who win the AFC East when it's all said and done. 566 00:24:21,028 --> 00:24:23,108 Speaker 1: I'm watching New England. I think they've got something going on, 567 00:24:23,228 --> 00:24:25,708 Speaker 1: even if the stats and the big scores aren't happening. 568 00:24:26,228 --> 00:24:28,708 Speaker 1: Mac played better. Mac played really be a better game 569 00:24:28,788 --> 00:24:31,988 Speaker 1: last week. Fascinating that we are upon Thanksgiving with three 570 00:24:32,108 --> 00:24:35,188 Speaker 1: games and yet we're not talking about the Dallas Cowboys. 571 00:24:35,508 --> 00:24:37,908 Speaker 1: And it might be because they played so well. They've 572 00:24:37,948 --> 00:24:40,388 Speaker 1: been playing so well. Are they just so convincing right 573 00:24:40,428 --> 00:24:42,188 Speaker 1: now that they're not catching all right? Well, we'll see 574 00:24:42,228 --> 00:24:45,348 Speaker 1: how they fare on their holiday. Cowboys in the Salvation 575 00:24:45,428 --> 00:24:48,588 Speaker 1: Army are once again partnering for the Red Kettle campaign. 576 00:24:48,908 --> 00:24:50,628 Speaker 1: Here to tell us about the twenty six the year 577 00:24:50,668 --> 00:24:54,588 Speaker 1: of partnership our Cowboys owner, president and General Manager Jerry Jones, 578 00:24:54,668 --> 00:24:57,388 Speaker 1: the executive vice president and Chief Brand Officer of the Cowboys, 579 00:24:57,468 --> 00:25:00,628 Speaker 1: Charlotte Jones, and the Commissioner and National Commander of the 580 00:25:00,708 --> 00:25:10,268 Speaker 1: Salvation Army, Kenneth Harror.

Last year's 583 00:25:16,428 --> 00:25:19,668 Speaker 1: campaign supported more than twenty five million Americans. Why is 584 00:25:19,708 --> 00:25:22,668 Speaker 1: the Red Kettle campaign and this partnership with the Salvation 585 00:25:22,788 --> 00:25:26,508 Speaker 1: Army so important to your family, Well, it's important to 586 00:25:26,588 --> 00:25:29,948 Speaker 1: all of us with our family and obviously with our 587 00:25:30,108 --> 00:25:33,268 Speaker 1: entire team, because this gives us an opportunity to take 588 00:25:33,348 --> 00:25:37,828 Speaker 1: the visibility of Thanksgiving Day, playing in front of over 589 00:25:38,028 --> 00:25:40,868 Speaker 1: seventy million people. We expect when we face off with 590 00:25:40,948 --> 00:25:44,228 Speaker 1: the Giants, to couple that with an incredible entertainer of 591 00:25:44,308 --> 00:25:48,068 Speaker 1: the Jonas Brothers, and use that visibility to talk about 592 00:25:48,068 --> 00:25:51,388 Speaker 1: the Salvation Army and to talk about how they help 593 00:25:51,508 --> 00:25:54,308 Speaker 1: the people who meet it most in our communities at 594 00:25:54,308 --> 00:25:57,348 Speaker 1: a time when people really are struggling. And for us 595 00:25:57,428 --> 00:26:00,348 Speaker 1: to be able to take that game and that visibility 596 00:26:00,468 --> 00:26:03,508 Speaker 1: and to inspire the millions of people around the country 597 00:26:03,788 --> 00:26:06,548 Speaker 1: to support the Salvation Army to support those who need 598 00:26:06,588 --> 00:26:09,588 Speaker 1: it most. That is our purpose. That's what we should 599 00:26:09,668 --> 00:26:12,388 Speaker 1: use in the NFL. Who we are to make a 600 00:26:12,468 --> 00:26:15,268 Speaker 1: difference and to make an impact in our community. Charlotte, 601 00:26:15,268 --> 00:26:17,588 Speaker 1: I'll follow up asking you another question here, because this 602 00:26:17,748 --> 00:26:21,748 Speaker 1: campaign has raised more than two point nine billion dollars 603 00:26:22,268 --> 00:26:26,628 Speaker 1: since the national kickoff began. Two point nine billion.

What did you learn 645 00:28:24,268 --> 00:28:26,948 Speaker 1: about the guys with the stars on their helmets, and 646 00:28:27,308 --> 00:28:29,548 Speaker 1: how are you feeling as you head towards tomorrow's game 647 00:28:29,708 --> 00:28:32,988 Speaker 1: against the Giants. Well, to begin with, I wanted to 648 00:28:33,108 --> 00:28:37,508 Speaker 1: see how we responded against State's real setback against the 649 00:28:37,588 --> 00:28:40,628 Speaker 1: Packers the week before, and we had our hearts on 650 00:28:40,788 --> 00:28:43,788 Speaker 1: that game and we didn't get it done. And when 651 00:28:43,828 --> 00:28:46,508 Speaker 1: you find out the most about yourself, it's when you've 652 00:28:46,548 --> 00:28:48,388 Speaker 1: got to pull it out. You've got to come up, 653 00:28:48,508 --> 00:28:50,828 Speaker 1: straighten up, and you've got to go get it the 654 00:28:50,948 --> 00:28:53,988 Speaker 1: way this team responded after the loss to the Packers, 655 00:28:54,348 --> 00:28:57,788 Speaker 1: the disappointing that was Mike McCarthy's go home game. It's 656 00:28:57,828 --> 00:29:00,308 Speaker 1: where it had come from, been fired from after winning 657 00:29:00,308 --> 00:29:02,788 Speaker 1: a super Bowl. Well, then we didn't get it done. 658 00:29:02,908 --> 00:29:05,828 Speaker 1: Here they come back and play probably is complete a 659 00:29:05,868 --> 00:29:10,388 Speaker 1: game as I've seen with the Cowboys, that really shows 660 00:29:10,548 --> 00:29:13,948 Speaker 1: me something about this team. Now I'm sitting here on 661 00:29:14,068 --> 00:29:17,428 Speaker 1: this chair and this ends Z. I'm guarding this spot. 662 00:29:17,548 --> 00:29:20,708 Speaker 1: I don't want to Giant and this ENDSZ tomorrow with 663 00:29:20,868 --> 00:29:25,348 Speaker 1: our guys. But what that's really going to do is 664 00:29:25,708 --> 00:29:29,628 Speaker 1: really not inspire our team. But it makes a point 665 00:29:29,708 --> 00:29:32,548 Speaker 1: to be here before the game talking about what the 666 00:29:32,668 --> 00:29:35,868 Speaker 1: Salvation Army is about. You know the NFL is the 667 00:29:36,028 --> 00:29:40,628 Speaker 1: greatest place to get an eyeball in the country. Today, 668 00:29:41,228 --> 00:29:43,548 Speaker 1: more people are watching it, More people will be watching 669 00:29:43,588 --> 00:29:48,308 Speaker 1: that game tomorrow than anything in a perfect setting. Thanksgiving Day, 670 00:29:48,988 --> 00:29:53,148 Speaker 1: that's when we want to show them compassion, grace. That's 671 00:29:53,188 --> 00:29:55,268 Speaker 1: when we want to show how to reach out and 672 00:29:55,428 --> 00:29:57,588 Speaker 1: help the guy that doesn't have it going so good. 673 00:29:57,908 --> 00:30:00,588 Speaker 1: We can do that through the Salvation Army. And when 674 00:30:00,668 --> 00:30:03,908 Speaker 1: we do it, although it's the Cowboys playing, will be 675 00:30:04,028 --> 00:30:08,388 Speaker 1: going ever town in this country, ever city in this country. 676 00:30:08,788 --> 00:30:11,148 Speaker 1: That's why I'm so special about it. I hope our 677 00:30:11,188 --> 00:30:14,228 Speaker 1: players jump in that red kettle like Zike did about 678 00:30:14,308 --> 00:30:19,268 Speaker 1: fifteen times. I hope they do too, because we will 679 00:30:19,308 --> 00:30:22,148 Speaker 1: never forget Zeke doing it. You guys are so wonderful 680 00:30:22,188 --> 00:30:25,268 Speaker 1: with this, and Jerry, you've always been a visionary. Indulge 681 00:30:25,348 --> 00:30:29,148 Speaker 1: us another vision. Let's talk to twenty twenty three Thanksgiving game. 682 00:30:29,228 --> 00:30:31,508 Speaker 1: It's home, the Cowboys are playing next year, and the 683 00:30:31,588 --> 00:30:34,868 Speaker 1: kettles are there. How about a vision of Odell Beckham 684 00:30:34,948 --> 00:30:37,788 Speaker 1: Junior jumping into the kettle with the star in his 685 00:30:37,908 --> 00:30:40,468 Speaker 1: helmet and the place goes crazy. Can you talk to 686 00:30:40,588 --> 00:30:43,228 Speaker 1: us about this and could this possibly happen. We'd love it. 687 00:30:44,748 --> 00:30:47,428 Speaker 1: That may see if I say the same vision, Yes, 688 00:30:47,948 --> 00:30:52,148 Speaker 1: I see it, you can see it. It's there, Oh, 689 00:30:52,308 --> 00:31:01,348 Speaker 1: there it is there. It is a miracle. Here you go. 690 00:31:02,988 --> 00:31:06,508 Speaker 1: It's a Thanksgiving miracle. James thanks giving me your visions 691 00:31:06,588 --> 00:31:09,788 Speaker 1: of Odell Beckham Junior dancing in his head. Hey, guys, 692 00:31:09,948 --> 00:31:14,028 Speaker 1: let's rack up that two point nine number that Joneses 693 00:31:14,068 --> 00:31:16,988 Speaker 1: and Kenneth Hotter I've put together for the Salvation Army. 694 00:31:17,028 --> 00:31:20,068 Speaker 1: It's so fantastic. We want to thank that group so much. Best. 695 00:31:21,228 --> 00:31:24,348 Speaker 1: He has visions of OBJ For more information on Salvation 696 00:31:24,428 --> 00:31:28,668 Speaker 1: Room and please visit Salvation Army USA dot org. That 697 00:31:28,788 --> 00:31:31,788 Speaker 1: was tremendous. Really are Kenneth Charlotte, Jerry, you guys are 698 00:31:31,828 --> 00:31:36,268 Speaker 1: the best. Love those cattles Ode. He said he's gonna 699 00:31:36,308 --> 00:31:38,868 Speaker 1: flip into the will, right, do you hear that? Jo? Right? 700 00:31:39,068 --> 00:31:42,308 Speaker 1: He can see it. Pat and Mahomes we'll talk about 701 00:31:42,388 --> 00:31:44,108 Speaker 1: him some more. Chavis Kelsey is the greatest tenant of 702 00:31:44,148 --> 00:31:46,148 Speaker 1: all time. Someone at the table has a very strong 703 00:31:46,188 --> 00:31:49,548 Speaker 1: take about it. Love the Cowboys. Patrick Mahomes said it 704 00:31:49,708 --> 00:32:02,428 Speaker 1: not mean all right. Every week we do a segment 705 00:32:02,468 --> 00:32:04,708 Speaker 1: called What's your Beef? My old trappery. Each one of 706 00:32:04,828 --> 00:32:06,308 Speaker 1: us has something they want to get off their chest. 707 00:32:06,548 --> 00:32:09,668 Speaker 1: After Sunday's superhero effort from the two of them, Patrick 708 00:32:09,748 --> 00:32:12,748 Speaker 1: Mahomes came out and said the following about tight end 709 00:32:12,948 --> 00:32:15,308 Speaker 1: Travis Kelsey, take a listen at special bottom is he 710 00:32:15,388 --> 00:32:17,148 Speaker 1: just competes at the end of the day. He's gonna 711 00:32:17,228 --> 00:32:19,388 Speaker 1: keep fighting until the very end. When you see that, 712 00:32:19,508 --> 00:32:21,788 Speaker 1: I think it not only is impressive for him, but 713 00:32:21,828 --> 00:32:23,788 Speaker 1: it gets other guys going. It shows that, I mean, 714 00:32:23,868 --> 00:32:25,348 Speaker 1: he's one of the best, not the best tight end 715 00:32:25,348 --> 00:32:26,988 Speaker 1: of all time, and he's coming to work every single 716 00:32:27,108 --> 00:32:28,828 Speaker 1: day to get better. And so that shows you whenever 717 00:32:28,828 --> 00:32:30,708 Speaker 1: you step into the facility, you're like, man, I gotta 718 00:32:30,708 --> 00:32:32,068 Speaker 1: get to work. If this guy's doing it, I have 719 00:32:32,148 --> 00:32:33,628 Speaker 1: to be able to at least match that. So that 720 00:32:33,748 --> 00:32:35,468 Speaker 1: leadership that he brings as well as the play he 721 00:32:35,508 --> 00:32:37,348 Speaker 1: brings in the field is special and it takes a 722 00:32:37,348 --> 00:32:40,348 Speaker 1: lot off my shoulders. Here. You heard it. Mahoms says, 723 00:32:41,548 --> 00:32:45,468 Speaker 1: Travis Kelsey is the best, if not the best tight 724 00:32:45,628 --> 00:32:47,628 Speaker 1: end of all time, and the immediate reaction online was 725 00:32:47,668 --> 00:32:50,668 Speaker 1: not one of lir It was actually, what about grong? 726 00:32:51,628 --> 00:32:54,508 Speaker 1: Did you forget about Shannon Sharp? There were some who 727 00:32:54,588 --> 00:32:57,788 Speaker 1: are quick to insist that Kelsey is not the greatest 728 00:32:57,988 --> 00:32:59,868 Speaker 1: Chief's tight end of all time and not in fact 729 00:33:00,028 --> 00:33:03,988 Speaker 1: titled belongs to Tony Gonzalig. Then there are others who 730 00:33:04,068 --> 00:33:08,308 Speaker 1: are like, it's Antonio Gates, it's Ozzie Newsome, it's Kellen Winslow, 731 00:33:08,428 --> 00:33:10,308 Speaker 1: it's Mike dick Cup. The list goes on and on 732 00:33:10,428 --> 00:33:12,748 Speaker 1: and on of everyone having an alternative. And you know, 733 00:33:13,028 --> 00:33:15,108 Speaker 1: I'll just say this, I think Travis Kelsey might be 734 00:33:15,148 --> 00:33:17,108 Speaker 1: the best at end of all time. I'm beginning to 735 00:33:17,148 --> 00:33:19,348 Speaker 1: think Mahomes could be right. Travis Kelsey might be the 736 00:33:19,468 --> 00:33:21,988 Speaker 1: best tight end to ever play this game. And if 737 00:33:22,028 --> 00:33:25,428 Speaker 1: he's not firmly number one, he's certainly in the conversation 738 00:33:25,548 --> 00:33:27,388 Speaker 1: and he is well on his way to getting that crowd. 739 00:33:27,428 --> 00:33:30,188 Speaker 1: Consider this, Travis Kelsey is thirty three right now and 740 00:33:30,308 --> 00:33:32,228 Speaker 1: is unquestionably the best tight end of the entire sport 741 00:33:32,348 --> 00:33:35,068 Speaker 1: thirty three. This is a season where we heard all 742 00:33:35,108 --> 00:33:38,468 Speaker 1: summer about Darren Waller and Kyle Pitts and George Kittle 743 00:33:38,508 --> 00:33:41,348 Speaker 1: and Hawkinson and you name it, Mark Andrews. They were 744 00:33:41,348 --> 00:33:43,268 Speaker 1: all supposed to challenge him for the top dog status. 745 00:33:43,388 --> 00:33:46,108 Speaker 1: It's week twelve, and Kelsey's already wrapped up another First 746 00:33:46,148 --> 00:33:49,348 Speaker 1: team All Pro selection. Nobody's even close. He leaves the 747 00:33:49,548 --> 00:33:52,388 Speaker 1: entire league in touchdown receptions right now with eleven. The 748 00:33:52,548 --> 00:33:54,708 Speaker 1: entire league, and of all the great tight ends in 749 00:33:54,828 --> 00:33:58,548 Speaker 1: NFL history, Kelsey was the fastest to nine thousand receiving yards. 750 00:33:58,588 --> 00:34:00,868 Speaker 1: If he gets one hundred and thirty nine yards in 751 00:34:00,948 --> 00:34:02,988 Speaker 1: the next thirty nine games, they'll be the fastest to 752 00:34:03,068 --> 00:34:06,548 Speaker 1: ten thousand. It's thirteen less games been Gronk to get 753 00:34:06,588 --> 00:34:09,188 Speaker 1: to nine grand. He'll do ten grand. Last weekend, Kelsey 754 00:34:09,228 --> 00:34:11,148 Speaker 1: set the NFL record for most games of one hundred 755 00:34:11,148 --> 00:34:12,948 Speaker 1: plus receiving yards by a tight end in the history, 756 00:34:13,068 --> 00:34:16,468 Speaker 1: notching his thirty third in justice tenth season. Historically, this 757 00:34:16,628 --> 00:34:19,308 Speaker 1: dude is in the top five just about every tight 758 00:34:19,428 --> 00:34:22,388 Speaker 1: end statistical category. But I look at this right here, 759 00:34:22,788 --> 00:34:26,028 Speaker 1: most postseason receptions in the history of the sport, luc 760 00:34:26,068 --> 00:34:29,788 Speaker 1: Who's number three, Travis Kelsey. I know he doesn't have 761 00:34:30,388 --> 00:34:33,868 Speaker 1: the rings that maybe Gronk has yet or Shannon Sharpe had, 762 00:34:34,388 --> 00:34:37,228 Speaker 1: but he is undoubtedly saved his best for the biggest moments. 763 00:34:37,228 --> 00:34:40,308 Speaker 1: Consider this, Kelsey already the third most postseason receptions in history. 764 00:34:40,628 --> 00:34:42,508 Speaker 1: He churns only Rice and Edelman. As you see there. 765 00:34:42,708 --> 00:34:46,108 Speaker 1: He's also tied for third in postseason touchdowns for all time, 766 00:34:46,268 --> 00:34:49,228 Speaker 1: third any player history of the sport, Travis Kelsey's third. 767 00:34:49,308 --> 00:34:51,988 Speaker 1: He also has averaged eighty six receiving yards per game 768 00:34:52,028 --> 00:34:54,268 Speaker 1: in the playoffs in his career. That's tied for second 769 00:34:54,308 --> 00:34:56,388 Speaker 1: most in NFL history, and he's by far the most 770 00:34:56,468 --> 00:34:58,228 Speaker 1: by any tight end who's played in a minimum of 771 00:34:58,308 --> 00:35:01,748 Speaker 1: ten games. Any big moment, any big spot, Travis Kelsey's 772 00:35:01,788 --> 00:35:04,828 Speaker 1: always there. My beef is with those who dismiss Kelsey. 773 00:35:05,108 --> 00:35:07,028 Speaker 1: He's a first ballot Hall of Famer already and he 774 00:35:07,148 --> 00:35:09,308 Speaker 1: may very well be the greatest tight end to ever 775 00:35:09,668 --> 00:35:15,308 Speaker 1: play the game. Come at me, he's gonna catch Rice. 776 00:35:15,348 --> 00:35:17,988 Speaker 1: I think he's forty five short in the playoff receptions. 777 00:35:17,988 --> 00:35:19,308 Speaker 1: I think he's gonna do that in the next couple 778 00:35:19,348 --> 00:35:21,428 Speaker 1: of years. So pass Edelman this year. The way this 779 00:35:21,548 --> 00:35:23,468 Speaker 1: goes as you shout that out and then the Gronk 780 00:35:23,588 --> 00:35:26,748 Speaker 1: army comes and they come with with tape and with highlight, really, 781 00:35:26,748 --> 00:35:29,668 Speaker 1: and they're incredible. I'm actually gonna zag here. I'm still 782 00:35:29,708 --> 00:35:32,468 Speaker 1: a Tony loyalist. Yeah, I like Gonzalez and I just 783 00:35:32,548 --> 00:35:34,668 Speaker 1: think you get into the era conversation and if you 784 00:35:34,788 --> 00:35:36,748 Speaker 1: put him in the b enemy read offense as a 785 00:35:36,828 --> 00:35:39,028 Speaker 1: young guy coming out of Cow, I think Gonzalez would 786 00:35:39,028 --> 00:35:41,668 Speaker 1: have torn the world up. So it's getting harder to 787 00:35:41,748 --> 00:35:45,028 Speaker 1: make the case against Kelsey. I'm clinging onto Tony Gonzalez still, 788 00:35:45,188 --> 00:35:47,348 Speaker 1: But like Kelsey's, the argument for Tony is that he 789 00:35:47,468 --> 00:35:51,548 Speaker 1: never had a Tom Brady or at Patrick mahomesters where 790 00:35:51,588 --> 00:35:55,268 Speaker 1: by against the Trent Greens or the Matt Ryans, but 791 00:35:55,348 --> 00:35:59,828 Speaker 1: he never had had I'm not big on the playoff 792 00:35:59,908 --> 00:36:03,748 Speaker 1: stats because if you're on a good team, like really 793 00:36:03,788 --> 00:36:07,148 Speaker 1: good received were, like Gronk's on there. Gron played ten seasons, 794 00:36:07,228 --> 00:36:09,268 Speaker 1: nine of those is with New England. You're on a 795 00:36:09,348 --> 00:36:12,028 Speaker 1: really good football team. You're in the playoffs every single year. 796 00:36:12,188 --> 00:36:15,268 Speaker 1: You're going far into playoffs. You're gonna have more catches, 797 00:36:15,388 --> 00:36:17,308 Speaker 1: you're gonna have more receiving guards. I think my brothers 798 00:36:17,348 --> 00:36:19,988 Speaker 1: towards the top and tackles in the playoffs. He's played 799 00:36:19,988 --> 00:36:22,788 Speaker 1: in a ton of playoff games. I do think Kelsey's 800 00:36:22,828 --> 00:36:26,028 Speaker 1: in that conversation the Tony Gonzalez for me, like you 801 00:36:26,148 --> 00:36:29,028 Speaker 1: just said the game was so different then and but 802 00:36:29,148 --> 00:36:31,428 Speaker 1: when you look at games played, and this is why 803 00:36:31,548 --> 00:36:33,428 Speaker 1: for me, Kelsey's up there. He's at the top of 804 00:36:33,468 --> 00:36:35,628 Speaker 1: a lot of these stats. Just overall in the season 805 00:36:35,708 --> 00:36:38,468 Speaker 1: one hundred and thirty seven games, Tony Gonzalez played two 806 00:36:38,548 --> 00:36:41,068 Speaker 1: hundred and seventy games, Jason went in two hundred and 807 00:36:41,148 --> 00:36:44,588 Speaker 1: seventy one, and Kelsey's already at the top of somebody 808 00:36:44,588 --> 00:36:47,708 Speaker 1: these stats challenging these guys. So the conversation he's in it, 809 00:36:47,748 --> 00:36:50,548 Speaker 1: it's still going just I don't like the playoff conversation 810 00:36:50,588 --> 00:36:53,228 Speaker 1: because he's played in seventy less postseason games than Gronk 811 00:36:53,268 --> 00:36:55,708 Speaker 1: and already has eclips to me a lot of those numbers. Though, Yeah, 812 00:36:55,828 --> 00:36:59,108 Speaker 1: no doubt biggest games matter to me.
