Speaker 4: Action as it goes down today.

97
00:03:57,040 --> 00:04:00,920
Speaker 2: But guys, we're gonna start with what would you grade

98
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:01,880
Speaker 2: this trade?

99
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:04,560
Speaker 4: Because Tuesday was a big day in America. I don't

100
00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:05,400
Speaker 4: know what happened.

101
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:08,960
Speaker 2: Oh, well, we're going to We're going to talk about

102
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:10,160
Speaker 2: the NFL trade deadline.

103
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:12,360
Speaker 5: It's so much less stressful doing the NFL trade deadline

104
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:14,880
Speaker 5: on the West Coast though, because everything's over oh yeah

105
00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:17,920
Speaker 5: by one pm. Although it is more stressful because you

106
00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:19,560
Speaker 5: have to wake up a lot earlier because by the

107
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:20,200
Speaker 5: time I.

108
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:22,479
Speaker 3: Was that better though, I mean, I don't know, like

109
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:24,360
Speaker 3: you have the rest of your day. Yeah, you got

110
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:25,000
Speaker 3: the rest of your day.

111
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:26,560
Speaker 4: I mean, but I'm also biased.

112
00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:30,920
Speaker 2: So okay, but we're going to start with what I

113
00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:35,440
Speaker 2: think the most shocking thing to me was is that

114
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:40,039
Speaker 2: the Cowboys were buyers not sellers. WTF, you guys, The

115
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:45,080
Speaker 2: Cowboys are doing something extremely delusional. They refuse to give

116
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:49,200
Speaker 2: up despite everything trending in the wrong direction. They traded

117
00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:53,200
Speaker 2: for wide receiver Jonathan Mingo and a seventh round pick

118
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:56,000
Speaker 2: and gave the Panthers a fourth round pick. Now, let

119
00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:58,960
Speaker 2: me just give you some notes on Jonathan Mingo. In

120
00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:02,160
Speaker 2: twenty four games, he's in a second season, he does

121
00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:05,480
Speaker 2: not have a career touchdown. He has fifty five catches,

122
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:08,040
Speaker 2: five hundred and thirty nine yards.

123
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:09,320
Speaker 4: And no touchdowns.

124
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:10,479
Speaker 3: You guys, no touch.

125
00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:13,160
Speaker 2: And just to put this into perspective, the Titans got

126
00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:16,599
Speaker 2: a conditional fifth round pick for DeAndre Hopkins from the Chiefs,

127
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:19,559
Speaker 2: who is a much better player than Mingo.

128
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:23,560
Speaker 4: This is crazy. This is Cowboys big get.

129
00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:26,440
Speaker 5: It's even crazier when you consider who the Cowboys have

130
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:28,360
Speaker 5: been able to get in the fourth round and therefore

131
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:31,640
Speaker 5: what they forfeited. Dak Prescott is a fourth round pick. Yes,

132
00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:34,680
Speaker 5: there have been multiple Cowboys starters because the Cowboys do

133
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:37,080
Speaker 5: for all of the things that they do wrong, what

134
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:39,040
Speaker 5: they do right is draft, which.

135
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:42,040
Speaker 2: Is why they should have knocked up on draft picks.

136
00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:45,479
Speaker 5: It it was an overpay, I think it. I mean

137
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:47,760
Speaker 5: it was a good call to go get a receiver,

138
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:50,600
Speaker 5: I guess. But then in the same breath you're going

139
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:52,680
Speaker 5: to talk about how Dak Prescott's season may be over.

140
00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:54,800
Speaker 5: He still hasn't been put on IR by.

141
00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:57,560
Speaker 4: The way, No, he did get put on I think yesterday.

142
00:05:58,000 --> 00:05:59,719
Speaker 5: No, he still hasn't. As of an hour ago. He

143
00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:02,280
Speaker 5: was it was the Cowboys did not actually put him

144
00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:02,880
Speaker 5: on IR yet.

145
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:05,080
Speaker 4: So they talked about putting him on IR yesterday.

146
00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:07,480
Speaker 2: Yes, but they're also like debating is he gonna get

147
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:10,320
Speaker 2: season ending surgery? Like he's dealing with a major hamstring

148
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:13,000
Speaker 2: issue where part of his tendant tore off the bones.

149
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:15,760
Speaker 2: That's not an easy like, Oh, he'll be back and

150
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:18,839
Speaker 2: he'll be at full strength. So like, not only did

151
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:21,080
Speaker 2: they not stuck up on draft picks, which is what

152
00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:24,120
Speaker 2: they should have done, because it feels like, Okay, we're

153
00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:27,240
Speaker 2: in a semi rebuild situation, but they think they could

154
00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:30,279
Speaker 2: still win even though they just lost Dak.

155
00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:33,040
Speaker 5: They're just trying to stay relevant. That is all Jerry

156
00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:35,719
Speaker 5: Jones ever wants to do, is be relevant. If you

157
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:38,360
Speaker 5: think that the Cowboys are trying to actually win, you're

158
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:41,120
Speaker 5: diluting yourself. They are trying to stay in the headlines.

159
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:43,720
Speaker 5: They are trying to stay relevant, and they are going

160
00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:46,040
Speaker 5: to hammer the whole We're five and one with Cooper

161
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:49,120
Speaker 5: Russia quarterback till the Cows come home. But this is

162
00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:51,680
Speaker 5: exactly what we've come to expect out of the Dallas Cowboys.

163
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 5: I mean, yes, did it make all of the sense

164
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:55,760
Speaker 5: in the world to sell off some pieces and offload

165
00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:57,719
Speaker 5: some different contracts that are gonna come down the pipe

166
00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:00,760
Speaker 5: and stockpile draft picks, because again, that is something that

167
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:01,640
Speaker 5: this team does.

168
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:02,279
Speaker 3: Very very well.

169
00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:04,400
Speaker 1: Sure were they ever.

170
00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:06,640
Speaker 5: Going to do that and admit in Week ten that

171
00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:09,600
Speaker 5: this was a lost season. Of course not that is

172
00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:12,560
Speaker 5: not Jerry Jones. That is not the Dallas Cowboys. And

173
00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:14,720
Speaker 5: I mean, for all intents and purposes, Cooper Rush is

174
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:16,560
Speaker 5: an excellent backup. They are going to be able to

175
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:19,680
Speaker 5: sneak through some wins. And you needed another receiver, but

176
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:22,880
Speaker 5: you overpaid for Jonathan Mango and you don't know what

177
00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:25,520
Speaker 5: he can be, but he is going to have to

178
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:28,760
Speaker 5: be immediately impactful given the fact that the only person

179
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:32,960
Speaker 5: now on this offense is Ceedee Lamb without Dak Prescott,

180
00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:33,600
Speaker 5: by the way.

181
00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:34,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, which is crazy.

182
00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:38,120
Speaker 2: Like I just want to remind people, like that rush,

183
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:40,880
Speaker 2: that rush, that run that you went on with Cooper

184
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:43,720
Speaker 2: Rush in twenty twenty two is a big difference. The

185
00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:47,640
Speaker 2: Cowboys then had a really solid run game in twenty

186
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:49,760
Speaker 2: twenty two. There were second in rushing touchdowns, they were

187
00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:52,200
Speaker 2: ninth in rushing yards per game. Now they have the

188
00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:55,000
Speaker 2: second worst rushing yards per game and they are tied

189
00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:57,920
Speaker 2: for last in rushing touchdowns. So my question is, what

190
00:07:57,960 --> 00:07:59,200
Speaker 2: do you think you're going to be able to do

191
00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:02,600
Speaker 2: with this team When you had Dak Prescott, who was

192
00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:07,640
Speaker 2: an MVP finalist last season at highest quarterback.

193
00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:08,800
Speaker 4: Rugling this year.

194
00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:11,920
Speaker 2: So if you can't do it with your starter, why

195
00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:13,280
Speaker 2: do you think you're going to be able to do

196
00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:15,680
Speaker 2: it with your backup when the team was in a

197
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:18,320
Speaker 2: completely different situation last time he came in.

198
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:21,280
Speaker 3: That's that's not the context that Jerry Jones is worried

199
00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:21,840
Speaker 3: about Alex.

200
00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:24,600
Speaker 4: He's not gonna say he's a zero sense, no zero sense.

201
00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:26,360
Speaker 5: Now they're they're trying to stay relevant. That is what

202
00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:29,320
Speaker 5: the Dallas Cowboys do and will continue to do. And

203
00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:32,480
Speaker 5: we're going to see Dak is currently seeking a second opinion,

204
00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:35,440
Speaker 5: that is. But Ian Rappaporre just came out literally right

205
00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:37,520
Speaker 5: before we got on saying it is thought to be

206
00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:39,760
Speaker 5: season ending. It looks like a season's over. He won't

207
00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:41,440
Speaker 5: have surgery, it's what it is. But he still is

208
00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:42,560
Speaker 5: going to get a second opinion.

209
00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:45,240
Speaker 3: But this also comes after longing the waiver ryer was

210
00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:48,040
Speaker 3: due already to declare whether or not these guys are

211
00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:50,079
Speaker 3: on IR and Cowboys still haven't put Dak Prescott, but

212
00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:52,360
Speaker 3: that should be coming. It's just they're not normal.

213
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:55,520
Speaker 2: They're not Okay, carm what do you grade this trade?

214
00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:58,200
Speaker 2: Oh God, I'm going to give this trade an F

215
00:08:58,360 --> 00:08:59,800
Speaker 2: because they should have been sellers not.

216
00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:02,560
Speaker 4: The whole situation to me is a fail.

217
00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:05,760
Speaker 5: I'm still going to give it a D because, like again,

218
00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:08,640
Speaker 5: this is going to be another This is going to

219
00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:12,080
Speaker 5: conceivably help Cooper Rush because he's going to be in

220
00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:15,400
Speaker 5: a better situation because there is another receiver on the field.

221
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:17,120
Speaker 3: But I'm not going to go beyond that.

222
00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:22,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, Okay, f failed situation for me, dfer Carmon. Let's

223
00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:23,800
Speaker 2: move on to some teams that did make some good

224
00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:27,640
Speaker 2: moves though, and we're gonna start with the Lions landing

225
00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:32,600
Speaker 2: Zadarius Smith from the Browns, which fills that Aiden Hutchinson

226
00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:36,640
Speaker 2: hole this season. That was kind of like the only

227
00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:40,520
Speaker 2: damper that the Lions had. It's a massive one, but yeah,

228
00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:43,880
Speaker 2: it's massive. This is already a complete powerhouse team. That

229
00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:47,680
Speaker 2: was a huge blow losing Hutchinson, but again, this team

230
00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:52,880
Speaker 2: has super Bowl expectations. Jared Goff is in the MVP conversation,

231
00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:55,240
Speaker 2: and this is a situation that if you can jump

232
00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:57,960
Speaker 2: on it, you have to. You're filling the whole, the

233
00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:02,200
Speaker 2: exact hole that you need to keep on pace. And

234
00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:06,160
Speaker 2: they they clearly know they are that team. And can

235
00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:09,280
Speaker 2: be that team and have the potential to reach that

236
00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:10,160
Speaker 2: super Bowl level.

237
00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:13,199
Speaker 3: I mean they are toying with their food.

238
00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:17,120
Speaker 5: Offensively, defensively, they've done some really interesting things after losing

239
00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:19,840
Speaker 5: eight Hudginson, because there is no replacing Aid Hudginson. He

240
00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:23,160
Speaker 5: still leads the league in pressures, by the way, even

241
00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:25,000
Speaker 5: though he's out, yes, and he's missed, and he's missed

242
00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:27,640
Speaker 5: the last month and a half. That's crazy, it's wild.

243
00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:30,400
Speaker 5: You know, he was on pace for We were really

244
00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:33,000
Speaker 5: robbed of a very special season from Adan Hutchinson, so

245
00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:35,040
Speaker 5: there is no replacing him. But what was interesting is

246
00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:37,480
Speaker 5: in the interim before they went out and made this move,

247
00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:41,440
Speaker 5: they actually increased their blitz rate to kind of account

248
00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:44,000
Speaker 5: for the fact that they weren't banking on getting pressure

249
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:44,840
Speaker 5: with four anymore.

250
00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:46,880
Speaker 1: So you now see.

251
00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:50,120
Speaker 5: That and like their whole offensive kind of strategy change.

252
00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:52,960
Speaker 5: They blitzed more, they blitzed from different levels of the defense,

253
00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:56,720
Speaker 5: and it was working because there's still a very good

254
00:10:56,720 --> 00:10:59,720
Speaker 5: defense and complimented by an offense that can score thirty

255
00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:00,559
Speaker 5: points in their sleep.

256
00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:01,079
Speaker 1: Yeah.

257
00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:02,800
Speaker 5: So now I'm going to be very interested to see though,

258
00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:05,760
Speaker 5: because when Aiden Hutchinson was in the lineup. This entire

259
00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:09,120
Speaker 5: defensive line was based on isolating a really good matchup

260
00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:11,520
Speaker 5: for him, So basically trying to take attention away and

261
00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:13,880
Speaker 5: that's a shout out to Alee McNeil, to DJ Reader,

262
00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:18,199
Speaker 5: taking attention away from the offensive line and making them

263
00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:21,240
Speaker 5: contend with those guys on the interior so that Aiden

264
00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:23,640
Speaker 5: Hutchinson could be one on one. Well, then since Aiden

265
00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:26,080
Speaker 5: Hutchinson went out again, you've got more guys involved in

266
00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:30,000
Speaker 5: the rush, You're blitzing more. Are you going to continue

267
00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:33,680
Speaker 5: doing that even with Zadarius Smith because he isn't the

268
00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:35,240
Speaker 5: player that Aiden Hutchinson is.

269
00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:37,880
Speaker 4: I mean, no one can be at this or are

270
00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:39,120
Speaker 4: you going to revert back.

271
00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:40,880
Speaker 5: To all right, We're going to try to get Zidarias

272
00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:43,199
Speaker 5: Smith as many good matchups as we possibly can, as

273
00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:45,319
Speaker 5: many of those one on one type things off the edge.

274
00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:49,120
Speaker 5: Is that going to be the you know, is we're

275
00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:50,920
Speaker 5: going to see an adjustment? Yeah, going forward, and I

276
00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:53,120
Speaker 5: think there will be some adjustment or you just add

277
00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:56,480
Speaker 5: him into the defense as it currently is. You can

278
00:11:56,920 --> 00:12:00,400
Speaker 5: you put him into this these blitz packages and everything

279
00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:02,880
Speaker 5: like that. It's just funny to me too, that like

280
00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:05,640
Speaker 5: Zadarius Smith is just collecting the NFC North like he's

281
00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:09,679
Speaker 5: the ash Pokemon, like ash in Pokemon of the NFC North.

282
00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:11,880
Speaker 5: He's collecting NFC North teams. Got to catch them all.

283
00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:14,120
Speaker 5: He's got to get to the Bears after this. But

284
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:17,280
Speaker 5: I do think that this is going to just fortify

285
00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:20,800
Speaker 5: the Detroit Lions that much more. And I mean, I

286
00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:23,079
Speaker 5: don't know who's going to be able to stop them.

287
00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:25,600
Speaker 5: Like they're going to make the postseason. They should win

288
00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:29,120
Speaker 5: the NFC North. Yeah, they should be the first seed

289
00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:32,199
Speaker 5: in the NFC. I think they're the best team in

290
00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:35,520
Speaker 5: the league. We're going to see if that translates finally

291
00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:36,800
Speaker 5: to a super Bowl for Detroit.

292
00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:37,600
Speaker 3: I would love to see it.

293
00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:39,080
Speaker 4: I think a lot of people would. So what would

294
00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:39,959
Speaker 4: you grade this trade?

295
00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:44,160
Speaker 5: Oh, this is the best possible person you could have

296
00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:46,040
Speaker 5: gotten without giving up too much?

297
00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:47,679
Speaker 3: Yeah, which is the which is?

298
00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:49,640
Speaker 5: That's the caveat here, Like if you were to get

299
00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:52,839
Speaker 5: a Max Crosby, then you're forfeiting so much future capital.

300
00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:54,079
Speaker 3: Yeah.

301
00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:54,320
Speaker 4: Same.

302
00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:55,640
Speaker 2: I'm also giving this an a because that was the

303
00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:57,520
Speaker 2: biggest thing for the Lions is like, we don't want

304
00:12:57,559 --> 00:12:59,240
Speaker 2: to give up anything because we are in such a

305
00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:01,920
Speaker 2: great place right now. How can we out, Well, yeah,

306
00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:04,480
Speaker 2: how can we add without losing our future and what

307
00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:06,760
Speaker 2: we have right now that's making us such a great right.

308
00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:08,840
Speaker 5: They weren't willing to sell their souls no for this,

309
00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:10,560
Speaker 5: and I think that that was the right call. Again

310
00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:12,960
Speaker 5: because Brad Holmes has such a wonderful track record in

311
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:13,440
Speaker 5: the draft.

312
00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:17,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, we're like semi SENDI same page.

313
00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:22,120
Speaker 4: Let's move on. Mike Williams to the Steelers. The Jets

314
00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:24,600
Speaker 4: traded Mike Williams to the season.

315
00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:29,240
Speaker 2: To the Steelers, and he had some interesting words about

316
00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:31,000
Speaker 2: playing with Rogers this week.

317
00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:31,559
Speaker 4: Take a listen.

318
00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:35,000
Speaker 7: Obviously going over there after you know acl not having

319
00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:39,080
Speaker 7: OTA's training camp. Oh, to get the chemistry right with

320
00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:42,480
Speaker 7: Aaron and it you know, he real detail, like what

321
00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:45,160
Speaker 7: he liked, so I for like me, not you know,

322
00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:48,440
Speaker 7: being able to go in there and transition in as quick.

323
00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:50,040
Speaker 7: Probably what went wrong.

324
00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:52,760
Speaker 2: I could feel he was sugarcoating that a little bit.

325
00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:55,360
Speaker 2: That's right, Yeah, I mean he just he didn't have

326
00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:59,240
Speaker 2: enough time to find chemistry and build the trust with Rogers.

327
00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:04,400
Speaker 2: Obviously the situations with the injuries, but then also Rogers

328
00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:07,080
Speaker 2: miss mandatory mini camp and in these situations is the

329
00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:10,480
Speaker 2: exact reason and issue why you need to be there

330
00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:14,240
Speaker 2: for every mandatory situation when you have new guys with

331
00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:16,280
Speaker 2: the team, when you need to build that chemistry, when

332
00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:19,360
Speaker 2: you need to build that trust. But honestly, Mike Williams

333
00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:21,160
Speaker 2: should be thanking the Jets. He is in a much

334
00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:24,479
Speaker 2: better situation. The Steelers are one of the better franchises,

335
00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:27,480
Speaker 2: not a dysfunctional franchise like the Jets. They have a

336
00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:32,320
Speaker 2: solid quarterback situation upgrade, they have a Hall of Fame coach,

337
00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:37,320
Speaker 2: great defense, They're in the playoff picture. I don't think

338
00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:41,400
Speaker 2: it changes a ton, but it will help the Steelers

339
00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:44,960
Speaker 2: having kind of another veteran wide receiver.

340
00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:45,120
Speaker 3: In the room.

341
00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:48,120
Speaker 5: I mean, the hard part about playing with Aaron Rodgers

342
00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:50,400
Speaker 5: is that you do there is so much detail that

343
00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:52,280
Speaker 5: goes into it, and it really does take a lot

344
00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:54,360
Speaker 5: of time. And like Mike Williams wouldn't have been there

345
00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:56,440
Speaker 5: for mandatory mini camp either, Like I get that point,

346
00:14:56,440 --> 00:14:57,760
Speaker 5: because he missed a lot of training camp.

347
00:14:57,920 --> 00:15:00,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, all of that coming off of that in injury.

348
00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:04,360
Speaker 5: And it's also though, and I've talked about this before,

349
00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:08,440
Speaker 5: all the reports that I've really seen from and I

350
00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:11,120
Speaker 5: haven't been at practice to know for myself. Yeah, but

351
00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:14,440
Speaker 5: it doesn't seem as if Aaron Rodgers really is taking

352
00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:17,400
Speaker 5: these guys aside when like the first team offense isn't

353
00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:20,960
Speaker 5: on the field and like really working through them. And

354
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:23,880
Speaker 5: maybe he is, but like, it is an extremely hard

355
00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:26,880
Speaker 5: thing to be a trusted receiver by Aaron Rodgers, and

356
00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:28,720
Speaker 5: it really does come with reps. And that's what was

357
00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:32,960
Speaker 5: so disappointing about so much of Aaron Rodgers missing out

358
00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:35,640
Speaker 5: last year and then you know, being in and out

359
00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:39,000
Speaker 5: of OTAs and then training camp comes around and it

360
00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:43,160
Speaker 5: just doesn't seem like he's in for the all right,

361
00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:45,400
Speaker 5: I'm gonna help you get on the same page with me.

362
00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:47,520
Speaker 5: He's just expecting you to be on the same page

363
00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:49,040
Speaker 5: with him, and he's like, this is how we're going

364
00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:51,160
Speaker 5: to do things. You fit in, And it's hard to

365
00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:52,320
Speaker 5: do that when you don't have the reps. So I

366
00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:54,400
Speaker 5: get it from Michael Avis perspective. He honestly got a

367
00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:56,000
Speaker 5: couple more targets than I thought he would after he

368
00:15:56,040 --> 00:15:58,840
Speaker 5: had that drop a couple of weeks ago. I do

369
00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:02,000
Speaker 5: really like him on the Steeler because he does exactly

370
00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:03,320
Speaker 5: what Russell Wilson wants to do.

371
00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:05,680
Speaker 3: Mike Williams is that true X kind of.

372
00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:08,400
Speaker 5: Outside receiver Russell Wilson wants to throw outside the numbers

373
00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:10,440
Speaker 5: down the field. That's exactly what Russell Wilson wants to do.

374
00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:12,800
Speaker 5: He can do it to George Pickens. And now there's

375
00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:16,760
Speaker 5: another threat on that offense in Pittsburgh. And Mike Williams

376
00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:19,760
Speaker 5: up until this point in the season, has seven catches

377
00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:22,720
Speaker 5: gaining fifteen or more yards. So this is something that

378
00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:25,920
Speaker 5: again is going to fit right in with this Pittsburgh offense.

379
00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:29,640
Speaker 5: And it's still a defensive led team. But if you

380
00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:32,480
Speaker 5: can get some true offensive production, I don't just see

381
00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:35,160
Speaker 5: them finishing with a winning record again and eking into

382
00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:37,840
Speaker 5: the playoffs. I say there could be a legitimate playoff

383
00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:39,520
Speaker 5: run with the way that they're playing now if they

384
00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:40,720
Speaker 5: get more offensive production.

385
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:44,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, they're what ahead in AFC North right now,

386
00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:50,560
Speaker 2: Like it's they're they're a solid team. They're a solid team.

387
00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:54,800
Speaker 2: Is for them to be LA coach? Yeah, Okay, what

388
00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:55,840
Speaker 2: would you grade this trade?

389
00:16:56,520 --> 00:16:57,160
Speaker 3: B plus?

390
00:16:57,200 --> 00:17:00,560
Speaker 2: That's exactly what I had it. That's exactly what I had. Okay,

391
00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:02,440
Speaker 2: real quick, We'll get to this one real quick. Commander's

392
00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:04,440
Speaker 2: trade for Marshawn Ladder the best.

393
00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:05,520
Speaker 4: Trade this is the best one.

394
00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:08,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, did like didn't have a huge need, but just

395
00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:11,159
Speaker 2: a great player to help boost their OH.

396
00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:13,280
Speaker 5: I would argue they had a huge needed quarner. Their

397
00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:16,320
Speaker 5: secondary is not go go up what it needs to be. Okay,

398
00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:19,280
Speaker 5: now you're going to put Marshawn Lattimore, four time Pro Bowler.

399
00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:21,360
Speaker 5: You're gonna hope you're going to get the Marshawn Lattimore

400
00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:24,040
Speaker 5: from like twenty twenty one more than the last couple

401
00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:25,920
Speaker 5: of seasons. He's played seventeen games of the last two

402
00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:28,879
Speaker 5: seasons leading into this year, had some injury issues, but

403
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:30,879
Speaker 5: if you get the Marshaw Lttimore, that's closer to what

404
00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:32,760
Speaker 5: you had in twenty twenty one. He now is opposite

405
00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:36,480
Speaker 5: Mike Sanders still, who's a wonderful young corner in Washington,

406
00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:40,200
Speaker 5: and he ups the value of this Washington secondary, which

407
00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:43,080
Speaker 5: is something that was a huge concern for them.

408
00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:45,720
Speaker 3: Coming into this season. Even this season in general.

409
00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:48,439
Speaker 5: And now with the Washington Commander's playing as well as

410
00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:52,280
Speaker 5: they are offensively, with Jayden Daniels their rookie quarterback, this

411
00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:56,720
Speaker 5: defense can now kind of sustain the success for them

412
00:17:56,760 --> 00:17:59,680
Speaker 5: and not have the Commanders have to go out and

413
00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:01,960
Speaker 5: score thirty five points a game, although we've seen them

414
00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:04,280
Speaker 5: be capable of that. Now you've got a defense that

415
00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:05,680
Speaker 5: you can kind of lean on a little bit more

416
00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:08,680
Speaker 5: because that defensive line is decent, is decently well. Their

417
00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:10,720
Speaker 5: offensive line, for that matter, is really really good. But

418
00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:13,680
Speaker 5: you have the secondary now that's shored up a little

419
00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:15,760
Speaker 5: bit with the splashiest trade of the trade deadline.

420
00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:17,920
Speaker 4: All right, what would you grade this trade?

421
00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:18,680
Speaker 3: Oh it's a nag.

422
00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:20,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, I also have any I just I hate that.

423
00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:23,560
Speaker 5: They're breaking up the marsha On Latimore Mike Evans rivalry.

424
00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:27,399
Speaker 5: But it could still happen in the postseason, could still happen,

425
00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:29,439
Speaker 5: but it's it's I'll miss that.

426
00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:31,639
Speaker 2: All right, guys, we're gonna take a quick break here,

427

Speaker 2: the College Football Playoff Selection Committee.

442
00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:20,280
Speaker 4: And I'm gonna be honest, I think they look pretty good.

443
00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:22,320
Speaker 4: I think they look pretty good.

444
00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:27,280
Speaker 2: At the top, you have unbeaten organ then you got Georgia,

445
00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:28,720
Speaker 2: my aunt, Wait where am I at?

446
00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:28,840
Speaker 6: No?

Speaker 4: Here we go? Thank you?

448
00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:32,919
Speaker 2: Sorry, Ohio State, Georgia, Miami, Texas. I was looking at

449
00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:37,639
Speaker 2: a different list, you guys, and honestly, I don't I

450
00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:39,240
Speaker 2: think this is a pretty fair.

451
00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:40,640
Speaker 9: One.

452
00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:41,120
Speaker 4: Through twelve.

453
00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:44,320
Speaker 2: Let me just run through Oregon, Ohio State, Georgia, Miami, Texas,

454
00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:48,880
Speaker 2: Penn State, Tennessee, Indiana, BYU, Notre Dame, Alabama, Boise State.

455
00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:50,480
Speaker 10: Yeah.

456
00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:51,200
Speaker 1: Yeah.

457
00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:53,879
Speaker 5: Well, first of all, with the new format, you've got

458
00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:56,040
Speaker 5: twelve teams in the playoff this year, which is very exciting.

459
00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:57,960
Speaker 3: So that's why this is a big deal, big deal.

460
00:19:58,400 --> 00:19:59,879
Speaker 5: But it also doesn't mean just because you're ranked the

461
00:19:59,880 --> 00:20:01,679
Speaker 5: T twelve, that's not necessarily the twelve teams that are

462
00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:02,159
Speaker 5: gonna get in.

463
00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:04,440
Speaker 3: It's not it's not like the former.

464
00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:06,760
Speaker 5: BCS where like it's the's arbitrary rankings and that's who

465
00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:09,520
Speaker 5: determines it. They are going to We're gonna have a

466
00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:11,480
Speaker 5: whole selection show. They're gonna make content out of it.

467
00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:14,560
Speaker 3: Whatever. Yeah, I love that Oregon is right at the top.

468
00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:16,480
Speaker 5: I mean, they're unbeaten Oregan, but they are putting on

469
00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:20,920
Speaker 5: for the shell of the PAC twelve because for so long,

470
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:23,480
Speaker 5: and to be fair, there were so many times where

471
00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:27,400
Speaker 5: Oregon kind of faltered in the postseason against especially SEC competition.

472
00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:31,640
Speaker 5: But now they're handling the Big ten just fine, time

473
00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:34,240
Speaker 5: zones and all. They have the second highest strength of

474
00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:38,960
Speaker 5: record rank per ESPN, behind Georgia. So not only are

475
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:42,120
Speaker 5: they unbeaten, but they have not had it easy and

476
00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:45,080
Speaker 5: that is something that I think is a very good

477
00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:47,440
Speaker 5: encouraging thing for a girl that was part of the

478
00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:49,920
Speaker 5: PAC twelve for so long. Yeah, they beat up on

479
00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:52,440
Speaker 5: Michigan last week, they beat Ohio State in week six.

480
00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:55,919
Speaker 5: They only have Maryland, Wisconsin, and Washington left. That should

481
00:20:55,920 --> 00:20:58,520
Speaker 5: be a cakewalk at this point. So Oregon is very

482
00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:01,320
Speaker 5: feasibly going to end the season on beaten yep, and

483
00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:05,719
Speaker 5: go into the playoff and hopefully kind of beating up

484
00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:08,080
Speaker 5: on the Big ten teams will prepare them to beat

485
00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:11,040
Speaker 5: up on some SEC teams in the playoff. I'm gonna

486
00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:12,879
Speaker 5: be very interested to see that. I do have an issue.

487
00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:17,359
Speaker 5: My biggest issue here is that Indiana is ranked eighth

488
00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:21,720
Speaker 5: because they're they are unbeaten to and I get that

489
00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:23,120
Speaker 5: they're Indiana.

490
00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:24,720
Speaker 4: But they haven't been ranked opponents.

491
00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:26,959
Speaker 1: No, that's not true. So they are.

492
00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:29,320
Speaker 5: They have the seventh highest strength of record rank. They

493
00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:32,199
Speaker 5: are still in a tent in top ten with strength

494
00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:35,719
Speaker 5: of record ranks so far this season per ESPN. They

495
00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:38,800
Speaker 5: just scored a touchdown right now over Michigan, so they're

496
00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:40,560
Speaker 5: gonna go up to They're gonna go up two scores

497
00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:44,479
Speaker 5: now on Michigan. They are They also like when you

498
00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:49,080
Speaker 5: watch these games, Indiana is like the Detroit Lions right now.

499
00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:51,679
Speaker 5: They are beating up on everybody. And I get that

500
00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:53,919
Speaker 5: there's some teams that they should beat up on, but

501
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:55,840
Speaker 5: this is not an Indiana team that we're used to

502
00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:56,520
Speaker 5: seeing being.

503
00:21:56,400 --> 00:21:57,159
Speaker 3: Able to do that.

504
00:21:57,760 --> 00:22:00,800
Speaker 5: And they are just they look so incredibly solid across

505
00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:01,280
Speaker 5: the board.

506
00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:03,880
Speaker 3: Offensively, they are scoring so many points.

507
00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:06,919
Speaker 5: This is something that I feel like you can absolutely

508
00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:08,520
Speaker 5: put them up and I think it's gonna happen though

509
00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:11,560
Speaker 5: after this week, after Miami just lost to Georgia Tech.

510
00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:15,440
Speaker 5: Miami previously ranked fourth, they were another unbeaten team, third

511
00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:18,480
Speaker 5: highest strength of record rank per ESPN, and now they

512
00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:20,399
Speaker 5: just lost to Georgia Tech, so that is going to

513
00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:23,399
Speaker 5: go down. I think that Indiana has the ability to

514
00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:25,919
Speaker 5: move up provided they take care of business here with Michigan.

515
00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:27,720
Speaker 5: But they should, and I know that Michigan isn't the

516
00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:31,680
Speaker 5: Michigan that they used to be. Sorry Martin, but he's

517
00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:34,840
Speaker 5: giving me the stank guy right now. Yep, it's true.

518
00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:39,080
Speaker 5: But like Indiana is still showing up, showing out. Kurt

519
00:22:39,119 --> 00:22:41,720
Speaker 5: Signetti has those boys ready to play every single week,

520
00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:43,480
Speaker 5: and I just think that we need to give a

521
00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:45,160
Speaker 5: little bit more credence to the eye test when we're

522
00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:46,840
Speaker 5: talking about the playoff rankings.

523
00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:50,159
Speaker 4: I they're in the top ten, which they deserve.

524
00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:55,040
Speaker 2: I don't think it doesn't matter though, it's it's the

525
00:22:55,080 --> 00:22:57,920
Speaker 2: teams that they have beaten. I think once they can

526
00:22:57,960 --> 00:23:00,280
Speaker 2: get through some other higher ranked teams.

527
00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:01,240
Speaker 4: Then they can move up.

528
00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:04,080
Speaker 2: As you said, with what Miami just losing for the

529
00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:06,280
Speaker 2: first time, and then if they can pull off this

530
00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:09,399
Speaker 2: win against Michigan unranked opponent, then it changes. Then it

531
00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:10,280
Speaker 2: can change next week.

532
00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:11,840
Speaker 4: But this week I think.

533
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:14,720
Speaker 5: Is tremendousness is we'll talked about rising about it later

534
00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:16,800
Speaker 5: in the show about how disrespected Indiana.

535
00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:18,280
Speaker 3: Husband Nah, I think.

536
00:23:18,080 --> 00:23:19,919
Speaker 4: This is right, all right, let's take it with Martin Wises.

537
00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:20,880
Speaker 4: He was trending.

538
00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:24,800
Speaker 11: Just as in Michigan and Love. I'm on karmess out

539
00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:27,480
Speaker 11: of this Indiana. They're putting B two A and they are.

540
00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:28,239
Speaker 4: Doing it right now.

541
00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:30,760
Speaker 1: Yes, watch the game when they're doing it.

542
00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:31,400
Speaker 4: Can it feel better?

543
00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:34,240
Speaker 11: They're doing it right now to Michigan twelve ten left

544
00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:38,080
Speaker 11: in the second quarter, fourteen to three Indiana. Right now

545
00:23:38,119 --> 00:23:39,840
Speaker 11: they're six to zero in the Big Ten, nine to

546
00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:43,879
Speaker 11: zero in the regular season, undefeated, obviously Roork for the

547
00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:46,880
Speaker 11: quarterback two touchdowns ten for twelve, one hundred and twenty

548
00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:47,600
Speaker 11: two yards a game.

549
00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:49,920
Speaker 1: Ten are twelve ten left in the second quarter.

550
00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:51,840
Speaker 11: There at the end of the first quarter, the Georgia

551
00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:55,320
Speaker 11: Bulldogs trailing to the Old Miss Rebels ten to seven,

552
00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:58,560
Speaker 11: Jackson dark through an interception that led to a Georgia touchdown.

553
00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:01,280
Speaker 1: He actually left the game on the locker room is

554
00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:02,240
Speaker 1: back in now.

555
00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:04,440
Speaker 11: PAIRAVN, so we'll see how it goes. But the due

556
00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:07,200
Speaker 11: old mis touchdowns drive vig enough Austin Simons led.

557
00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:10,040
Speaker 1: It was four for five and just right down the field.

558
00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:11,640
Speaker 3: Wow, just surgical there.

559
00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:14,960
Speaker 11: Yes, I with Dayton Kansas right now the Cyclones in

560

Speaker 11: Kansas with the lead seven to fourteen left in the

562
00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:20,160
Speaker 11: second quarter.

563
00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:23,440
Speaker 1: Jayden Daniels, sorry, Jayalen Daniels.

564
00:24:23,119 --> 00:24:26,160
Speaker 11: Six for nine, one hundred and seventy two yards, two touchdowns.

565
00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:28,800
Speaker 11: Who knows, maybe he'll also come out and never thrown

566
00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:32,720
Speaker 11: in completion in the NFL, too, Army in North Texas,

567
00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:34,879
Speaker 11: the twenty fifth ranked team in the nation. Army with

568
00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:37,000
Speaker 11: a seven to three lead over North Texas two or

569
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:38,160
Speaker 11: four left in the second.

570
00:24:38,359 --> 00:24:40,840
Speaker 1: Nine minutes left in the second quarter between Clemson.

571
00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:43,600
Speaker 11: And Virginia Tech, the twenty three ranked Tigers trailing the

572
00:24:43,640 --> 00:24:46,840
Speaker 11: Hokies seven to nothing. Kay Clublick has thrown an interception

573
00:24:47,160 --> 00:24:50,520
Speaker 11: and Colorado down early. The Colorado the twentieth team and

574
00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:52,920
Speaker 11: the nation right now trailing Texas Tech, who are wearing

575
00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:57,280
Speaker 11: their Patrick Mahorms Patrick Mahomes sponsored uniforms have Mahomes logo

576
00:24:57,359 --> 00:24:58,320
Speaker 11: right there with the Nike.

577
00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:01,919
Speaker 3: To have a former quarterback with on a half a

578
00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:03,000
Speaker 3: billion dollar contract.

579
00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:06,000
Speaker 1: When you do that, maybe new shoes for everybody.

580
00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:10,159
Speaker 11: Texas Tech ten to nothing to score over Colorado six

581
00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:11,640
Speaker 11: on one left in the first quarter.

582
00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:11,880
Speaker 6: There.

583
00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:15,560
Speaker 11: Earlier today, Ohio State pounded Purdue forty five to nothing.

584
00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:18,960
Speaker 11: Jeremiah Smith with a touchdown, Travion Smith, Travon Henderson with

585
00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:20,160
Speaker 11: a rushing touchdown.

586
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:21,680
Speaker 1: And Will Howard had three through the air.

587
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:25,880
Speaker 11: Miami lost to Georgia Towns twenty eight to twenty three.

588
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:28,679
Speaker 11: Cam wod did have three touchdown passes. But when you

589
00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:30,680
Speaker 11: give up what was it, I had it right here.

590
00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:33,400
Speaker 11: You give up like three hundred yards two hundred yards

591
00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:35,600
Speaker 11: rushing in the first half and then two hundred and

592
00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:37,280
Speaker 11: seventy one throughout the entire game.

593
00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:39,280
Speaker 1: That's gonna not the rest of people.

594
00:25:39,560 --> 00:25:42,080
Speaker 5: I picked Georgia Tech to cover, and I'm so glad

595
00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:45,320
Speaker 5: I did. Because Miami has not played a regular game.

596
00:25:45,520 --> 00:25:46,800
Speaker 1: They really liked that.

597
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:49,200
Speaker 11: I honestly feel like all the complaints that you would

598
00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:50,600
Speaker 11: have about Indiana.

599
00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:52,960
Speaker 1: Straight the schedule should be they apply to Miami.

600
00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:54,919
Speaker 5: Intern Miami has a good strength of schedule but like

601
00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:57,440
Speaker 5: they haven't won indominant fashion like Indiana House.

602
00:25:57,440 --> 00:25:58,800
Speaker 11: That's what I meant. Like the way that they were,

603
00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:00,920
Speaker 11: they should have lost. The cow end up catching them

604
00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:03,520
Speaker 11: here twenty eight to twenty three. Kem Wore did have

605
00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:06,680
Speaker 11: three touchdown passes, Buddy fumbled in the last possession that

606
00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:08,760
Speaker 11: would have given Miami a chance to play for the win.

607
00:26:09,119 --> 00:26:12,440
Speaker 11: Texas pounds Florida forty nine to seventeen. Quinn Yewers five

608
00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:15,480
Speaker 11: touchdown passes, and the NFL Tyreek Khill has a rist injury.

609
00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:18,760
Speaker 11: Head coach Mike McDaniel says he's neither optimistic nor pessimistic.

610
00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:20,840
Speaker 1: Could play questionable.

611
00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:23,520
Speaker 11: On the injury report, A Lave Chris Lave, out for

612
00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:26,240
Speaker 11: the Saints wide receiver, suffered a second concussion last week.

613
00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:30,520
Speaker 11: Adam Schefter's reporting that Cowboys quarterback Dave Prescott will likely

614
00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:34,640
Speaker 11: undergo season ending hamstring surgery. Astro and Cyberts ruled out

615
00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:36,960
Speaker 11: the kicker for the Commanders he will not play against

616
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:40,840
Speaker 11: Pittsburgh and Zion Williamson, Pelicans forward in the NBA, is

617
00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:42,760
Speaker 11: going to be out in definitely due to a left

618
00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:44,000
Speaker 11: hamstring injury.

619
00:26:44,119 --> 00:26:45,320
Speaker 1: Back to you guys, Thank.

00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:13,560
Speaker 5: It's so good to hear voice.

631
00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:13,800
Speaker 2: No.

632
00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:17,040
Speaker 9: I saw Dave the other day, so we chatted.

633
00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:19,680
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, he's been in our workout classes in the morning.

634
00:27:20,040 --> 00:27:20,240
Speaker 7: Yeah.

635
00:27:20,280 --> 00:27:22,680
Speaker 3: He's very good. He's very good at that. He's very diligent.

636
00:27:22,760 --> 00:27:25,040
Speaker 2: All right, Cynthia, you put in a lot of work

637
00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:28,760
Speaker 2: this week leading up to the trade deadline. So in

638
00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:30,879
Speaker 2: your opinion, which trade do you think will have the

639
00:27:30,920 --> 00:27:32,879
Speaker 2: biggest impact for the rest of the season.

640
00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:36,159
Speaker 9: I think it was the DeAndre Hopkins one. I know

641
00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:38,720
Speaker 9: Daria Smith is a huge one. I know Marshall Lattimore

642
00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:42,160
Speaker 9: that's also a really big one. However, I still think.

643
00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:45,280
Speaker 9: I actually think the combination of both josh Ucha and

644
00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:48,399
Speaker 9: DeAndre Hopkins to the chief makes a huge difference in

645
00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:52,159
Speaker 9: the AFC where that team is. So it's there. You know,

646
00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:55,040
Speaker 9: obviously they lost their wide receiver, she writes, but they're

647
00:27:55,080 --> 00:27:58,040
Speaker 9: just they're they're in such a great spot playing even

648
00:27:58,040 --> 00:27:59,720
Speaker 9: though they're playing a first place schedule, it's still a

649
00:27:59,800 --> 00:28:02,080
Speaker 9: light first play scheduled than usual because one of the

650
00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:04,800
Speaker 9: weird opponents they have this year is the entire NFC South.

651
00:28:05,119 --> 00:28:08,280
Speaker 9: So that's why you're seeing the ability for them to

652
00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:10,199
Speaker 9: kind of get that number one by in the AFC,

653
00:28:10,280 --> 00:28:12,360
Speaker 9: which is going to be a very big deal.

654
00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:15,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, And honestly, I don't think that Patrick Mahomes has

655
00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:17,399
Speaker 5: really ever had a guy like DeAndre Hopkins who can

656
00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:19,919
Speaker 5: really go up and he can catch, he can come

657
00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:22,000
Speaker 5: down with those prayers that Patrick Mahomes is going to

658
00:28:22,080 --> 00:28:24,880
Speaker 5: throw up into double driple coverage and there's no one

659
00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:27,040
Speaker 5: better right now at contested catches, and I just think

660
00:28:27,080 --> 00:28:29,520
Speaker 5: that that is lethal when it comes to the Kansas

661
00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:32,680
Speaker 5: Age cheese. But Sin, I need to give you some

662
00:28:32,680 --> 00:28:36,520
Speaker 5: some opportunity to talk about your lions, because I'm very

663
00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:38,240
Speaker 5: interested to see this is something that we talked about

664
00:28:38,760 --> 00:28:42,960
Speaker 5: just a couple of minutes ago, the way that the Lions.

665
00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:44,760
Speaker 3: Attributed or made up for the fact that they lost

666
00:28:44,760 --> 00:28:45,280
Speaker 3: Ain Hunderson.

667
00:28:45,320 --> 00:28:48,200
Speaker 5: Obviously there's no replacing him, but you see Aaron Glenn's defense,

668
00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:50,560
Speaker 5: he starts to blitz a little bit more rather than

669
00:28:50,680 --> 00:28:52,440
Speaker 5: trying to get pressure with FORO, knowing that he doesn't

670
00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:54,680
Speaker 5: have the power up front that he did when In

671
00:28:54,880 --> 00:28:55,840
Speaker 5: Hutchinson was playing.

672
00:28:56,400 --> 00:28:58,280
Speaker 3: What do you think that they do now going forward

673
00:28:58,320 --> 00:28:59,120
Speaker 3: with Zadarius Smith.

674
00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:01,560
Speaker 5: Do they kind of keep the same thing and usher

675
00:29:01,720 --> 00:29:04,560
Speaker 5: Zadarius Smith into what the adjustments are or do you

676
00:29:04,560 --> 00:29:06,160
Speaker 5: think they've got to go back and try to isolate

677
00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:08,080
Speaker 5: him on the edge and get him some better matchups.

678
00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:11,360
Speaker 9: To me, that's the that's the best question, because there

679
00:29:11,720 --> 00:29:14,200
Speaker 9: there's two different reasons to blitz. There's one there's blitzing

680
00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:16,960
Speaker 9: because you're manufacturing a pressure, and that's probably what we

681
00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:19,920
Speaker 9: were seeing when Aiden Hutchinson wasn't there. And two, there's

682
00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:22,280
Speaker 9: blitzing because you trust your secondary and that's kind of

683
00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:24,680
Speaker 9: how Denver does their blitzes. I hope they blitz the most,

684
00:29:24,960 --> 00:29:27,720
Speaker 9: so I think that secondary has kind of proven itself

685
00:29:27,760 --> 00:29:29,960
Speaker 9: to be really really good. I mean, between Brian Branch

686
00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:33,960
Speaker 9: and Kirby Joseph, those two staties alone are really really

687
00:29:34,040 --> 00:29:37,640
Speaker 9: ridiculously paying, like playing out of their minds. So I'm

688
00:29:37,720 --> 00:29:40,280
Speaker 9: curious to see if that will change now. I would

689
00:29:40,360 --> 00:29:43,080
Speaker 9: imagine in this particular game. You know, I don't know.

690
00:29:43,080 --> 00:29:45,160
Speaker 9: I don't think zvarious Smiths will end up playing, but

691
00:29:45,560 --> 00:29:47,760
Speaker 9: I think this is, you know, the interior of the

692
00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:50,440
Speaker 9: Texans O line is not the strongest one ever. In fact,

693
00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:52,800
Speaker 9: they've given up the most stacks and Ali McNeill is

694
00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:54,960
Speaker 9: like that's where he does his damage. So I think

695
00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:57,400
Speaker 9: they're okay this week, but I'm going to be curious

696
00:29:57,680 --> 00:30:00,000
Speaker 9: to watch it going forward because, like I said, there's

697
00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:01,880
Speaker 9: two blitz there's blitzing because you have to and there's

698
00:30:01,880 --> 00:30:03,040
Speaker 9: blitzing because you choose to.

699
00:30:03,360 --> 00:30:05,360
Speaker 4: Right right, all right, Cynthia.

700
00:30:05,400 --> 00:30:07,880
Speaker 2: One of the biggest shocks for me was that the

701
00:30:07,880 --> 00:30:12,160
Speaker 2: Cowboys were buyers and not sellers at the trade deadline.

702
00:30:12,160 --> 00:30:14,000
Speaker 2: And we're getting news that's coming out right now that

703
00:30:14,080 --> 00:30:18,640
Speaker 2: Doc is most likely getting seasoned ending surgery. Takeas like,

704
00:30:18,880 --> 00:30:22,000
Speaker 2: what was the thought process there? Why what do they

705
00:30:22,040 --> 00:30:23,120
Speaker 2: think they're going to be able to do?

706
00:30:24,520 --> 00:30:27,320
Speaker 9: I mean, I'm not really sure, but it would you know,

707
00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:30,520
Speaker 9: this one's a little bit more confounding than others. But

708
00:30:31,080 --> 00:30:33,040
Speaker 9: it would seem that if you're picking up a guy

709
00:30:33,080 --> 00:30:36,320
Speaker 9: who's on, you know, a second season and deep into

710
00:30:36,360 --> 00:30:40,480
Speaker 9: his rookie you know he's done for touchdowns, right, I

711
00:30:40,520 --> 00:30:42,280
Speaker 9: don't really know what It's not like he was in

712
00:30:42,320 --> 00:30:46,200
Speaker 9: a great circumstance. He's very unknown, So I would imagine

713
00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:49,000
Speaker 9: they believe it's they're just creating an option for the future.

714
00:30:49,120 --> 00:30:52,800
Speaker 9: I don't know. That's a very I'm going to be

715
00:30:52,800 --> 00:30:54,960
Speaker 9: honest with you, I have a hard time explaining that

716
00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:55,680
Speaker 9: one other than.

717
00:30:55,600 --> 00:30:57,600
Speaker 4: To stay the only what are you doing?

718
00:30:57,720 --> 00:31:00,000
Speaker 9: Yeah? And also like why are they not playing trailer?

719
00:31:00,360 --> 00:31:02,560
Speaker 9: Because I want to know who I have there? Because

720
00:31:02,720 --> 00:31:06,120
Speaker 9: you could be creating for yourself and so Cooper Rush,

721
00:31:06,320 --> 00:31:09,480
Speaker 9: you could be creating with Trey Lance, some value in

722
00:31:09,520 --> 00:31:11,360
Speaker 9: the trade market. I mean, if he's really good. If

723
00:31:11,440 --> 00:31:13,560
Speaker 9: Trey Lance is really good, great, you could trade him

724
00:31:13,560 --> 00:31:15,040
Speaker 9: away at the end of next year. If he's not

725
00:31:15,080 --> 00:31:17,080
Speaker 9: so good, then at least you know what you have.

726
00:31:17,520 --> 00:31:19,800
Speaker 9: It's very it's very confusing. Well, I don't know what

727
00:31:19,840 --> 00:31:20,040
Speaker 9: it is.

728
00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:22,160
Speaker 5: That would require the Cowboys to admit though that this

729
00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:23,840
Speaker 5: is kind of a lost season, and that they don't

730
00:31:23,840 --> 00:31:26,400
Speaker 5: really care about the quality of the quarterback play or

731
00:31:26,440 --> 00:31:27,680
Speaker 5: they can afford to roll the dice.

732
00:31:27,720 --> 00:31:30,840
Speaker 3: I just don't see Jerry Jones doing that. Unfortunately, I

733
00:31:32,280 --> 00:31:34,200
Speaker 3: don't have words. I don't I don't either.

734
00:31:34,280 --> 00:31:35,960
Speaker 2: Think that's why they already know what they have in

735
00:31:36,040 --> 00:31:38,880
Speaker 2: Trey Lance, and that's why they're just kind of similar

736
00:31:38,880 --> 00:31:42,000
Speaker 2: to like admitting defeat by not putting them in.

737
00:31:43,240 --> 00:31:44,440
Speaker 9: I don't know.

738
00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:47,920
Speaker 5: I think I think they're still trying to win, and

739
00:31:47,960 --> 00:31:49,640
Speaker 5: I think they feel like Cooper Rush gives them the

740
00:31:49,680 --> 00:31:50,520
Speaker 5: best shot to do that.

741
00:31:50,560 --> 00:31:51,920
Speaker 3: I don't know, sin Well.

742
00:31:51,720 --> 00:31:54,080
Speaker 9: Obviously that's what they'd say, right, Rush gives them the

743
00:31:54,080 --> 00:31:55,440
Speaker 9: best opportunity to win, But I don't know.

744
00:31:55,400 --> 00:31:57,440
Speaker 3: What that means right exactly how far are you going

745
00:31:57,520 --> 00:31:57,680
Speaker 3: to go?

746
00:31:58,600 --> 00:31:58,920
Speaker 8: Right?

747
00:31:59,040 --> 00:31:59,240
Speaker 11: Right?

748
00:31:59,280 --> 00:31:59,440
Speaker 8: When?

749
00:31:59,520 --> 00:32:02,200
Speaker 9: What in the draft pick for next year or like what,

750
00:32:02,320 --> 00:32:03,440
Speaker 9: I don't know.

751
00:32:02,760 --> 00:32:05,040
Speaker 3: Your draft position next year?

752
00:32:05,320 --> 00:32:08,480
Speaker 2: Really made no sense. Were there any teams that were

753
00:32:08,480 --> 00:32:11,320
Speaker 2: close to making a move that you knew about or

754
00:32:11,400 --> 00:32:13,360
Speaker 2: like kind of had some insight on that didn't anything

755
00:32:13,360 --> 00:32:13,760
Speaker 2: should have.

756
00:32:15,240 --> 00:32:18,200
Speaker 9: I mean, there's every team can use. I was actually

757
00:32:18,360 --> 00:32:22,120
Speaker 9: very surprised overall that no Olignement, other than Cam Robinson

758
00:32:22,440 --> 00:32:26,080
Speaker 9: going to replace Christian darrisaw were traded because when I'm

759
00:32:26,080 --> 00:32:28,480
Speaker 9: looking at next year's draft class, it is very light

760
00:32:28,640 --> 00:32:32,040
Speaker 9: in the olignement way. There's not a ton of day

761
00:32:32,040 --> 00:32:34,000
Speaker 9: one starters at least. I mean, I've done a lot

762
00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:35,720
Speaker 9: of work on this O line already, this O line

763
00:32:35,720 --> 00:32:38,240
Speaker 9: class already, and I can't seem to find any unless

764
00:32:38,400 --> 00:32:41,000
Speaker 9: they're hiding somewhere that I have not yet to see.

765
00:32:41,680 --> 00:32:43,480
Speaker 9: I guess they could be hiding in like Australia. This

766
00:32:43,520 --> 00:32:46,240
Speaker 9: wouldn't be the first time, but you know, like but

767
00:32:46,240 --> 00:32:48,640
Speaker 9: but you know, it's it's weird, so I would have

768
00:32:48,720 --> 00:32:50,920
Speaker 9: I think some teams should have made that move. But

769
00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:54,080
Speaker 9: you know, that's that was surprising to me just overall.

770
00:32:54,120 --> 00:32:56,960
Speaker 9: And I would imagine some teams probably were in the

771
00:32:57,000 --> 00:32:59,760
Speaker 9: market for some people, like you know, I think we've

772
00:32:59,760 --> 00:33:02,880
Speaker 9: probably we'll hear that Aziz al Jalaris price was just

773
00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:04,720
Speaker 9: too high for a number of teams that were looking

774
00:33:04,760 --> 00:33:07,080
Speaker 9: for his services too. But I don't think anyone was

775
00:33:07,120 --> 00:33:09,320
Speaker 9: going to be paying like second round or whatever they were.

776
00:33:09,600 --> 00:33:11,680
Speaker 9: You know, I never believed there were reports, right because

777
00:33:11,680 --> 00:33:14,800
Speaker 9: the agents are liars, so you know, I don't know,

778
00:33:15,040 --> 00:33:16,640
Speaker 9: I don't know what it is, but I think it

779
00:33:16,720 --> 00:33:18,880
Speaker 9: was probably too high for for whoever is looking.

780
00:33:19,080 --> 00:33:24,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, well then looking forward, do you foresee this? I mean,

781
00:33:24,560 --> 00:33:26,600
Speaker 5: I know we talked about this being like all right,

782
00:33:26,680 --> 00:33:28,680
Speaker 5: who's made them is going to make the biggest impact,

783
00:33:29,120 --> 00:33:31,680
Speaker 5: But does that then like shake up anything when you

784
00:33:31,720 --> 00:33:33,680
Speaker 5: look at all right down the line, who's going to

785
00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:36,080
Speaker 5: finish top of the conference? I mean, I think you're

786
00:33:36,080 --> 00:33:39,480
Speaker 5: dead on with the Chiefs being now like clear winners,

787
00:33:39,520 --> 00:33:42,680
Speaker 5: clear path to that first round by given DeAndre Hopkins.

788
00:33:42,720 --> 00:33:46,200
Speaker 3: But are there any teams that really like upped where

789
00:33:46,240 --> 00:33:49,000
Speaker 3: you think that they'll finish now given what they've done

790
00:33:49,320 --> 00:33:49,920
Speaker 3: at the trade.

791
00:33:49,760 --> 00:33:52,360
Speaker 9: Then life I think didn't do Yeah, I mean, look,

792
00:33:52,400 --> 00:33:55,160
Speaker 9: we'll see this week. Obviously, Marshall Lattimore is not playing

793
00:33:55,160 --> 00:33:57,479
Speaker 9: this week, at least to everything I've heard, right, so

794
00:33:57,880 --> 00:34:00,840
Speaker 9: you know that will make a huge difference. Because this

795
00:34:01,160 --> 00:34:05,040
Speaker 9: Washington defense has been playing better and better every single week. However,

796
00:34:05,240 --> 00:34:08,200
Speaker 9: it's not like their corners are really really scary and intimidating,

797
00:34:08,239 --> 00:34:11,040
Speaker 9: and the quality of their opponents hasn't been as high

798
00:34:11,040 --> 00:34:13,120
Speaker 9: as some other teams. That is the one knock on them,

799
00:34:13,160 --> 00:34:16,160
Speaker 9: and that is very fair, But they could easily win

800
00:34:16,200 --> 00:34:19,239
Speaker 9: the division if they could. You know, the Eagles, they

801
00:34:19,280 --> 00:34:22,200
Speaker 9: seem to be making a stronger push as of late. However,

802
00:34:22,520 --> 00:34:24,360
Speaker 9: you know, they dropped some weird ones earlier in the

803
00:34:24,400 --> 00:34:27,520
Speaker 9: season two and that's confusing. And I think that, you know,

804
00:34:27,560 --> 00:34:30,319
Speaker 9: the Washington getting into the playoffs is a very very

805
00:34:30,320 --> 00:34:34,040
Speaker 9: good thing. Maybe not winning the division. They could get

806
00:34:34,040 --> 00:34:36,239
Speaker 9: in as a wild card. So you know, I think

807
00:34:36,280 --> 00:34:39,280
Speaker 9: there's a lot of things and that that specific trade.

808
00:34:39,360 --> 00:34:41,600
Speaker 9: I mean, Marshall Lattimore has been a little banged up

809
00:34:41,600 --> 00:34:43,560
Speaker 9: all season long, but if he decides to play, and

810
00:34:43,600 --> 00:34:45,760
Speaker 9: we know things were really weird down there in New Orleans,

811
00:34:45,760 --> 00:34:47,960
Speaker 9: so I'm sure some of that is kind of like

812
00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:52,360
Speaker 9: the same injury DeAndre Hopkins had with his hamstring in Tennessee. Right, right, right,

813
00:34:52,880 --> 00:34:53,840
Speaker 9: and Devanta.

814
00:34:54,600 --> 00:34:56,439
Speaker 5: Adams Right, all of a sudden, it starts to feel

815
00:34:56,440 --> 00:34:57,600
Speaker 5: a lot better in the new climate.

816
00:34:57,680 --> 00:34:59,600
Speaker 3: It's got to be the climate, right, the climate change.

817
00:35:00,200 --> 00:35:03,480
Speaker 9: Yeah, you know, everyone everyone gets a little like everyone

818
00:35:03,520 --> 00:35:06,279
Speaker 9: knows that Kansas City's weather is just absolutely better for

819
00:35:06,880 --> 00:35:08,960
Speaker 9: all injuries that can potentially have it.

820
00:35:09,080 --> 00:35:12,239
Speaker 2: Exactly, Cynthia, we love you, thank you so much for

Speaker 1: It's time for the dues and the don'ts in sports.

844
00:36:10,560 --> 00:36:10,880
Speaker 6: All right.

845
00:36:10,920 --> 00:36:13,680
Speaker 2: I'm gonna start with the do do go all out

846
00:36:13,960 --> 00:36:18,240
Speaker 2: for your hobbies. So, just after winning the World Series

847
00:36:18,760 --> 00:36:22,480
Speaker 2: like under two weeks ago, Mookie Bets finished second place

848
00:36:22,600 --> 00:36:26,080
Speaker 2: during an amateur scratch tournament at a random bowling alley

849
00:36:26,280 --> 00:36:28,239
Speaker 2: this last weekend, and.

850
00:36:28,160 --> 00:36:32,319
Speaker 4: There's a photo elite. There's a photo of him with

851
00:36:32,400 --> 00:36:33,840
Speaker 4: four other random.

852
00:36:33,480 --> 00:36:36,320
Speaker 2: Men, which is absolutely hilarious because Mookie is not like

853
00:36:36,400 --> 00:36:38,360
Speaker 2: a big guy, but like the other guys are like

854
00:36:38,560 --> 00:36:39,839
Speaker 2: very small compared.

855
00:36:39,520 --> 00:36:41,040
Speaker 4: To to Mookie.

856
00:36:41,400 --> 00:36:44,520
Speaker 2: And just like, can you imagine watching Mookie bets win

857
00:36:44,560 --> 00:36:46,440
Speaker 2: the World Series and then a week later he just

858
00:36:47,160 --> 00:36:50,560
Speaker 2: waltzes into your bowling alley and you beat him in

859
00:36:50,560 --> 00:36:51,680
Speaker 2: a bowling tournament a week later.

860
00:36:52,239 --> 00:36:56,560
Speaker 5: Hilarious athlete, athlete, It's so good. I gotta don't start

861
00:36:56,600 --> 00:37:01,440
Speaker 5: out all right, don't change your stripes. Why Louisiana's governor

862
00:37:01,960 --> 00:37:07,680
Speaker 5: right now is trying to import another tiger in for

863
00:37:08,160 --> 00:37:11,440
Speaker 5: the Bama LSU game, which is in Death Valley, because

864
00:37:11,840 --> 00:37:16,760
Speaker 5: so full context, LSU has a live tiger mascot, Mike. Yeah,

865
00:37:16,840 --> 00:37:19,880
Speaker 5: he is on campus. He is in this wonderful enclosure.

866
00:37:19,920 --> 00:37:22,320
Speaker 5: He's a rescue tiger, okay, and he is in this

867
00:37:22,360 --> 00:37:25,600
Speaker 5: wonderful enclosure. He is under the care of Louisiana State's

868
00:37:25,719 --> 00:37:30,280
Speaker 5: Veteran School or veterinary school. Okay, And about ten years

869
00:37:30,320 --> 00:37:33,279
Speaker 5: ago they decided, all right, you know what this is

870
00:37:33,280 --> 00:37:34,799
Speaker 5: putting too much stress on the tiger. We're not going

871
00:37:34,840 --> 00:37:36,600
Speaker 5: to bring him into the stadium before the game. Yeah

872
00:37:36,719 --> 00:37:38,400
Speaker 5: he didn't stay for the game, but he would he

873
00:37:38,400 --> 00:37:40,640
Speaker 5: would come in and parade around. They decided to, like

874
00:37:40,680 --> 00:37:43,160
Speaker 5: a decade ago, this wasn't okay for the tiger. We

875
00:37:43,239 --> 00:37:46,200
Speaker 5: need to you know whatever. So now, for whatever reason,

876
00:37:46,239 --> 00:37:49,520
Speaker 5: Louisiana's governor is saying we want the tiger back in

877
00:37:49,560 --> 00:37:53,920
Speaker 5: the stadium. And LSU's veterinary students and not even the students,

878
00:37:53,920 --> 00:37:56,880
Speaker 5: the real like he's got two actual vets on staff

879
00:37:56,880 --> 00:37:58,800
Speaker 5: for him, or like, no, we're not letting him in

880
00:37:58,840 --> 00:37:59,280
Speaker 5: the stadium.

881
00:37:59,520 --> 00:38:00,400
Speaker 3: That's not good for him.

882
00:38:00,440 --> 00:38:01,040
Speaker 4: Absolutely not.

883
00:38:01,280 --> 00:38:05,400
Speaker 5: So the governor wants to bring in another tiger imported

884
00:38:05,440 --> 00:38:09,360
Speaker 5: from somewhere else and bring him into the stadium.

885
00:38:09,560 --> 00:38:12,160
Speaker 3: Absolutely not. Mike the Tiger is Mike the Tiger.

886
00:38:12,280 --> 00:38:13,880
Speaker 5: Yes, students, go and say hi to him at his

887
00:38:13,920 --> 00:38:17,280
Speaker 5: habitat on their way to class. That is his domain.

888
00:38:17,800 --> 00:38:20,319
Speaker 5: Do not stress this tiger out. Also, we can all

889
00:38:20,320 --> 00:38:22,960
Speaker 5: tell the difference. Yeah, don't change your stripes.

890
00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:25,239
Speaker 4: That's gnarly it is.

891
00:38:25,840 --> 00:38:30,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, there are you Okay, I'm gonna do adu do

892
00:38:30,480 --> 00:38:33,920
Speaker 2: get that tattoo. A girl got a tattoo of the

893
00:38:33,960 --> 00:38:36,240
Speaker 2: Freddy Freeman Grand Slam.

894
00:38:36,360 --> 00:38:37,040
Speaker 3: Oh, I did see that.

895
00:38:37,080 --> 00:38:40,239
Speaker 2: Her post said sports girls are so weird, Like, what

896
00:38:40,280 --> 00:38:42,760
Speaker 2: do you mean you got the Reddy Freeman Grand Slam

897
00:38:42,800 --> 00:38:43,440
Speaker 2: tattoo on you?

898
00:38:43,600 --> 00:38:44,680
Speaker 4: It's me. I'm that girl.

899
00:38:44,920 --> 00:38:47,920
Speaker 2: And it's a drawing of like the diamond with the

900
00:38:47,920 --> 00:38:51,160
Speaker 2: player's numbers who were on base, and then the ball

901
00:38:51,280 --> 00:38:55,040
Speaker 2: where the home run went like leaving the ballpark.

902
00:38:54,760 --> 00:38:57,680
Speaker 5: Which is, it's so funny because actually this has been

903
00:38:57,719 --> 00:39:00,160
Speaker 5: a tattoo idea of mine since the Buccaneers one the

904
00:39:00,160 --> 00:39:02,160
Speaker 5: Super Bowl. I never got a Super Bowl tattoo, and

905
00:39:02,160 --> 00:39:03,600
Speaker 5: that was on my to do list, and I wanted

906
00:39:03,640 --> 00:39:08,440
Speaker 5: to get one of the play diagrams from that game, which.

907
00:39:08,280 --> 00:39:09,759
Speaker 3: Is and I'm still going to do it.

908
00:39:09,880 --> 00:39:13,359
Speaker 2: I'm still going to do it to be So that was.

909
00:39:13,320 --> 00:39:15,920
Speaker 5: The hard part is there wasn't like one defining play

910
00:39:16,080 --> 00:39:18,400
Speaker 5: of that game in the way that like there was

911
00:39:18,440 --> 00:39:21,279
Speaker 5: in Kansas City's like Super Bowl the year before, Like

912
00:39:21,320 --> 00:39:23,279
Speaker 5: that was that game was one defensively, So I think

913
00:39:23,280 --> 00:39:26,000
Speaker 5: I might just get like the Bucks defensive like base formation,

914
00:39:26,800 --> 00:39:27,640
Speaker 5: because I know it.

915
00:39:28,840 --> 00:39:29,560
Speaker 4: Get it on your rest rights.

916
00:39:29,560 --> 00:39:30,759
Speaker 3: I don't know what I'm gonna get on my wrist.

917
00:39:31,560 --> 00:39:32,080
Speaker 3: I know I was.

918
00:39:32,239 --> 00:39:32,520
Speaker 9: I was.

919
00:39:32,560 --> 00:39:34,319
Speaker 5: No, I have another different race. I might get it

920
00:39:34,320 --> 00:39:36,160
Speaker 5: maybe on my bicep or something. But I still want

921
00:39:36,200 --> 00:39:38,719
Speaker 5: to commemorate that. Yeah, because I was part of you know,

922
00:39:39,200 --> 00:39:40,200
Speaker 5: the organizations I do.

923
00:39:40,320 --> 00:39:43,080
Speaker 4: I've got three okay needles.

924
00:39:42,960 --> 00:39:45,040

00:40:30,920 --> 00:40:33,920
Speaker 2: trade deadline, the college football playoff rankings. We had Cynthia

943
00:40:33,960 --> 00:40:37,160
Speaker 2: Freelan on the show kind of breaking everything down, and

944
00:40:37,280 --> 00:40:41,120
Speaker 2: this hour we're gonna do our mid season awards coming up.

945
00:40:41,160 --> 00:40:42,840
Speaker 2: But the whole theme of the show is just like

946
00:40:43,320 --> 00:40:46,120
Speaker 2: having fun today, right, because this whole week was just

947
00:40:46,480 --> 00:40:47,920
Speaker 2: doing things that make you smile.

948
00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:49,920
Speaker 3: I've got my childhood best friend in the studio.

949
00:40:51,120 --> 00:40:51,719
Speaker 4: To workday.

950
00:40:51,920 --> 00:40:52,680
Speaker 3: It's so funny.

951
00:40:52,680 --> 00:40:54,040
Speaker 5: This is the first time I think she's ever done

952
00:40:54,080 --> 00:40:55,560
Speaker 5: something like this. Have you ever been to work with

953
00:40:55,600 --> 00:40:56,040
Speaker 5: me before?

954
00:40:56,120 --> 00:40:59,600
Speaker 3: Oh? Okay, yeah, I love that. I've like there's certain.

955
00:40:59,360 --> 00:41:01,520
Speaker 5: People in my life, Like I remember in college I

956
00:41:01,520 --> 00:41:03,680
Speaker 5: got to bring a friend of mine to like, like

957
00:41:03,760 --> 00:41:06,279
Speaker 5: we played Georgia at home at ASU and I got

958
00:41:06,280 --> 00:41:07,880
Speaker 5: to like bring him to the game with a credential

959
00:41:07,920 --> 00:41:10,040
Speaker 5: and everything. I've gotten friends of mine and stuff like

960
00:41:10,080 --> 00:41:12,480
Speaker 5: on the sideline or do anything like that. This is

961
00:41:13,000 --> 00:41:14,799
Speaker 5: you never actually got to come to a Bucks game,

962
00:41:14,880 --> 00:41:15,880
Speaker 5: So I got her parents.

963
00:41:15,880 --> 00:41:18,440
Speaker 3: Her parents have been to two bus games. Yeah, when

964
00:41:18,440 --> 00:41:20,880
Speaker 3: I was working for them and kids. It makes sense.

965
00:41:21,280 --> 00:41:24,160
Speaker 2: But this is cool. It is this is like a

966
00:41:24,200 --> 00:41:26,920
Speaker 2: smiley day. You know what We've been like trying to

967
00:41:26,920 --> 00:41:29,160
Speaker 2: watch like more classic movies. And you know what I

968
00:41:29,200 --> 00:41:30,640
Speaker 2: watched last night for the first time that I've never

969
00:41:30,680 --> 00:41:35,200
Speaker 2: seen Swingers. Oh no idea, Your Money, Baby, Your Money,

970
00:41:35,400 --> 00:41:39,160
Speaker 2: Your Money a class. That was like mind blowing seeing

971
00:41:39,239 --> 00:41:42,560
Speaker 2: Vince Vaughan like that tiny oh and that young.

972
00:41:42,480 --> 00:41:45,799
Speaker 3: I haven't seen that in forever, first time, first.

973
00:41:45,520 --> 00:41:46,919
Speaker 4: Time, but it was great. Also.

974
00:41:46,960 --> 00:41:48,480
Speaker 2: Okay, I know we touched on this last week real

975
00:41:48,520 --> 00:41:54,239
Speaker 2: quick before we get into this. After this week, I

976
00:41:54,280 --> 00:41:57,600
Speaker 2: think so many people just said if at it's Christmas time,

977
00:41:57,840 --> 00:41:59,760
Speaker 2: I need to like have some joy.

978
00:41:59,840 --> 00:42:03,600
Speaker 4: So I need to ask a question. We're going to

979
00:42:03,640 --> 00:42:04,200
Speaker 4: take a poll.

980
00:42:04,440 --> 00:42:07,880
Speaker 2: When is the appropriate time to start putting up Christmas

981
00:42:07,920 --> 00:42:11,359
Speaker 2: decorations and then to start playing Christmas music? Okay, because

982
00:42:11,400 --> 00:42:14,080
Speaker 2: right now I'm okay with Christmas decorations going up. This

983
00:42:14,160 --> 00:42:16,239
Speaker 2: week I saw a lot going up. There's a lot

984
00:42:16,239 --> 00:42:20,720
Speaker 2: of decorations going up. Music has to wait until after

985
00:42:20,760 --> 00:42:23,719
Speaker 2: Thanksgiving whenever you damn well please, no music has to

986
00:42:23,719 --> 00:42:27,279
Speaker 2: wait till after things. No music after Thanksgiving? Decorations put

987
00:42:27,320 --> 00:42:27,640
Speaker 2: them up.

988
00:42:27,680 --> 00:42:31,359
Speaker 5: It is so harmless. If it makes you happy and

989
00:42:31,400 --> 00:42:35,440
Speaker 5: you need that, fine, go for it. My Christmas decorations

990
00:42:35,719 --> 00:42:36,240
Speaker 5: the trees.

991
00:42:36,480 --> 00:42:38,160
Speaker 4: Yet partly see you were told there.

992
00:42:38,760 --> 00:42:39,800
Speaker 3: The tree is not up yet.

993
00:42:40,040 --> 00:42:42,319
Speaker 5: My Christmas decorations went up November first, and I make

994
00:42:42,400 --> 00:42:43,440
Speaker 5: no apologies about it.

995
00:42:43,600 --> 00:42:44,280
Speaker 4: I can't.

996
00:42:45,160 --> 00:42:49,080
Speaker 3: How great is my house, Christie right now? It's so cozy? Yeah, yeah,

997
00:42:49,120 --> 00:42:50,960
Speaker 3: we made ornaments. We made ornaments yesterday.

998
00:42:51,080 --> 00:42:54,799
Speaker 4: Love that. Yeah, at Arts and Craft's Day. Okay, Oh,

999
00:42:55,200 --> 00:42:56,920
Speaker 4: whatever you want, I'm not going to judge it.

1000
00:42:57,400 --> 00:42:58,520
Speaker 3: I'm not going to judge you. And do you want

1001
00:42:58,520 --> 00:43:00,880
Speaker 3: to Christmas music in your headphone? I'm fine with that.

1002
00:43:00,960 --> 00:43:04,120
Speaker 4: Cheetphones, yes, please, just don't haunt my dreams with that yet. Okay,

1003
00:43:04,320 --> 00:43:04,959
Speaker 4: she give me to live.

1004
00:43:04,960 --> 00:43:06,160
Speaker 3: I started watching Christmas movie.

1005
00:43:06,280 --> 00:43:10,480
Speaker 2: That's okay, that's okay. Alph is my comfort movie. All right, guys,

1018
00:43:45,719 --> 00:43:50,319
Speaker 2: regular season, so it is time for our mid season awards.

1019
00:43:50,760 --> 00:43:52,440
Speaker 2: Carmee and I are going to go through give our

1020
00:43:52,680 --> 00:43:55,120
Speaker 2: MVP so far, Rookie of the Year, Coach of the Year,

1021
00:43:55,200 --> 00:43:57,680
Speaker 2: Offensive Player of the Year, and then our biggest surprises,

1022
00:43:57,760 --> 00:44:02,960
Speaker 2: both good and bad. So let's start with the MVPs.

1023
00:44:03,000 --> 00:44:06,000
Speaker 2: I'm just gonna give the odds. As of now via FanDuel,

1024
00:44:06,239 --> 00:44:10,120
Speaker 2: you have Lamar Jackson at plus one seventy, Josh Allen

1025
00:44:10,360 --> 00:44:14,160
Speaker 2: at plus three forty, Mahomes plus five hundred, Jared Goff

1026
00:44:14,200 --> 00:44:16,400
Speaker 2: plus eight hundred, and Jane Daniels tied with GoF.

1027
00:44:16,280 --> 00:44:17,760
Speaker 4: At plus eight hundred.

1028
00:44:18,480 --> 00:44:25,200
Speaker 2: So I'm kind of torn between this MVP, who I

1029
00:44:25,280 --> 00:44:28,800
Speaker 2: think kind of deserves this first half of the season,

1030
00:44:28,840 --> 00:44:31,800
Speaker 2: because Lamar Jackson absolutely went off right Thursday Night Football

1031
00:44:31,840 --> 00:44:35,799
Speaker 2: made a very good case for his third MVP and

1032
00:44:35,960 --> 00:44:40,440
Speaker 2: he's yeah, he's pretty darn close to his twenty nineteen

1033
00:44:40,640 --> 00:44:46,400
Speaker 2: where he was unanimous MVP numbers, but he's actually better

1034
00:44:46,960 --> 00:44:51,719
Speaker 2: this season with completion percentage, passing yards, blow touched down.

1035
00:44:51,880 --> 00:44:55,000
Speaker 5: I was going to say his numbers ratings to anything

1036
00:44:55,080 --> 00:44:55,680
Speaker 5: he's ever gone.

1037
00:44:56,280 --> 00:44:59,879
Speaker 2: So that alone is an argument in itself for lam

1038
00:45:00,200 --> 00:45:03,800
Speaker 2: Jackson again to get his third MVP. But this is

1039
00:45:03,840 --> 00:45:08,719
Speaker 2: where I struggle. The Chiefs are undefeated, and they are

1040
00:45:08,960 --> 00:45:14,839
Speaker 2: undefeated because of Patrick Mahomes, and I don't know how

1041
00:45:14,880 --> 00:45:18,680
Speaker 2: you cannot say he is the not necessarily like number

1042
00:45:18,800 --> 00:45:19,959
Speaker 2: rankings wise.

1043
00:45:19,640 --> 00:45:20,080
Speaker 4: But like.

1044
00:45:22,000 --> 00:45:25,960
Speaker 2: He feels like an MVP halfway through the season because

1045
00:45:25,960 --> 00:45:27,920
Speaker 2: of what he's been able to do with what he

1046
00:45:28,000 --> 00:45:31,040
Speaker 2: has and his team, and they are undefeated. So between

1047
00:45:31,080 --> 00:45:34,719
Speaker 2: the two right now, I'm leaning towards Patrick Mahomes.

1048
00:45:34,440 --> 00:45:34,839
Speaker 4: As my envy.

1049
00:45:35,080 --> 00:45:36,440
Speaker 3: Oh, I'm going with Lamar Jackson.

1050
00:45:36,760 --> 00:45:40,440
Speaker 5: Wins aren't a quarterback stat and it's not just Patrick Mahomes,

1051
00:45:40,480 --> 00:45:44,480
Speaker 5: it's that defense too. I mean, like Steves Bagnolo and

1052
00:45:44,520 --> 00:45:49,000
Speaker 5: that Chiefs defense is has been ascending every single year

1053
00:45:49,520 --> 00:45:52,920
Speaker 5: and this year has been no different. They haven't allowed

1054
00:45:52,920 --> 00:45:54,480
Speaker 5: more than twenty five points in the game and that

1055
00:45:54,560 --> 00:45:58,200
Speaker 5: was back Week two with the Cincinnati Bengals. I mean

1056
00:45:58,520 --> 00:46:03,400
Speaker 5: they are stifled playing opponents and it has resulted in

1057
00:46:03,400 --> 00:46:05,920
Speaker 5: the fact that yet it's not looking like we're used

1058
00:46:05,960 --> 00:46:08,480
Speaker 5: to with the Chiefs offense, but they're still extraordinarily efficient.

1059
00:46:08,480 --> 00:46:10,719
Speaker 5: Patrick Mahomes is extraordinarily efficient. I'm not trying to take

1060
00:46:10,719 --> 00:46:13,560
Speaker 5: anything away from Patrick Mahomes because he hasn't had the

1061
00:46:13,600 --> 00:46:16,799
Speaker 5: talent around him, especially with losing Rashi Rice and not

1062
00:46:16,880 --> 00:46:18,359
Speaker 5: being able to lean as much on the run game

1063
00:46:18,360 --> 00:46:21,920
Speaker 5: without is Isaiah Pacheco. But he has a defense that

1064
00:46:21,960 --> 00:46:22,960
Speaker 5: he can fall back on.

1065
00:46:23,520 --> 00:46:24,239
Speaker 3: And I'm not.

1066
00:46:24,200 --> 00:46:26,840
Speaker 5: Gonna say that the Ravens defense isn't awesome too, because

1067
00:46:26,880 --> 00:46:30,360
Speaker 5: it is. But Lamar Jackson is on pace to shatter

1068
00:46:31,440 --> 00:46:36,919
Speaker 5: shatter any of his previous stats. We could see him

1069
00:46:37,239 --> 00:46:40,560
Speaker 5: be the first four thousand yard passer and thousand yard

1070
00:46:40,640 --> 00:46:42,160
Speaker 5: rusher right now.

1071
00:46:42,520 --> 00:46:43,839
Speaker 1: He is on pace.

1072
00:46:43,920 --> 00:46:45,359
Speaker 3: Let me see, I have these numbers right here.

1073
00:46:48,320 --> 00:46:50,279
Speaker 5: Oh, he leads the league in passerrating, leads the league

1074
00:46:50,280 --> 00:46:53,760
Speaker 5: in passing yards per attempt, fourth most scrambles, second lowest

1075
00:46:53,760 --> 00:46:56,200
Speaker 5: turnover worthy throw a percentage at one point three percent.

1076
00:46:56,680 --> 00:46:57,680
Speaker 3: I don't have the what.

1077
00:46:57,680 --> 00:47:00,319
Speaker 5: He's on pace for, but it is well over yea

1078
00:47:01,040 --> 00:47:05,720
Speaker 5: four thousand yards and he's averaging six yards to carry

1079
00:47:06,120 --> 00:47:08,280
Speaker 5: himself and then.

1080
00:47:08,360 --> 00:47:11,280
Speaker 4: Yes, I realized he has he's like the dual.

1081
00:47:11,080 --> 00:47:15,360
Speaker 5: Threat he has Dereck Henry. But again, this is an

1082
00:47:15,400 --> 00:47:19,480
Speaker 5: extraordinarily productive offense. At times they look completely unbeatable. There's

1083
00:47:19,520 --> 00:47:22,239
Speaker 5: a couple of really head scratching losses in there, but

1084
00:47:23,719 --> 00:47:26,719
Speaker 5: I can't conceivably say that there is somebody that is

1085
00:47:26,760 --> 00:47:31,200
Speaker 5: being more productive at the quarterback position than Lamar Jackson.

1086
00:47:31,200 --> 00:47:34,359
Speaker 3: And when you consider too that the O line is

1087
00:47:34,600 --> 00:47:35,480
Speaker 3: really good in.

1088
00:47:37,239 --> 00:47:41,840
Speaker 5: Baltimore, but it really comes down to the interior of

1089
00:47:41,840 --> 00:47:44,200
Speaker 5: that O line being pretty solid. Whereas you see on

1090
00:47:44,239 --> 00:47:47,920
Speaker 5: the tackles themselves, they're like they're more middle ground, and

1091
00:47:47,920 --> 00:47:50,279
Speaker 5: that's kind of what the big thing is keeping you

1092
00:47:50,440 --> 00:47:53,839
Speaker 5: from pressure, and especially with the way Lamar scrambles, he's

1093
00:47:53,880 --> 00:47:57,120
Speaker 5: doing it without all world tackles on either side of

1094
00:47:57,160 --> 00:48:00,239
Speaker 5: this offensive line. I just I cannot say enough about

1095
00:48:00,239 --> 00:48:03,520
Speaker 5: what Lamar Jackson is doing currently and the fact that

1096
00:48:03,560 --> 00:48:05,920
Speaker 5: he is pushing the ball down the field. He is

1097
00:48:05,920 --> 00:48:10,400
Speaker 5: so incredibly productive. But he's not throwing interceptions. He's taking

1098
00:48:10,400 --> 00:48:13,480
Speaker 5: care of the football, he's being responsible with his decision making.

1099
00:48:13,840 --> 00:48:19,240
Speaker 5: He's getting through progressions. They're longer, they're more complex. I can't,

1100
00:48:19,280 --> 00:48:21,040
Speaker 5: I cannot say enough about it, and I just think

1101
00:48:21,080 --> 00:48:22,600
Speaker 5: he is the front runner for the MVP. I think

1102
00:48:22,600 --> 00:48:25,000
Speaker 5: that conversation is Lamar. I think it's I think Patrick

1103
00:48:25,040 --> 00:48:28,080
Speaker 5: Mahomes does go into it. But I also think that

1104
00:48:28,120 --> 00:48:31,600
Speaker 5: we need to talk about Jared Goff and Josh Allen

1105
00:48:31,680 --> 00:48:33,080
Speaker 5: because I think Josh Allen.

1106
00:48:32,960 --> 00:48:34,920
Speaker 4: Josh Allen's number two, He's the second favorite.

1107
00:48:35,000 --> 00:48:38,839
Speaker 5: I think he's doing the most with the least. It

1108
00:48:38,880 --> 00:48:41,600
Speaker 5: is if you could argue team's success is based on

1109
00:48:41,640 --> 00:48:45,560
Speaker 5: one person for any team, it is the Buffalo Bills

1110
00:48:45,600 --> 00:48:46,640
Speaker 5: and it is Josh Allen.

1111
00:48:46,920 --> 00:48:49,480
Speaker 2: Again, you could literally make a case for any of

1112
00:48:49,520 --> 00:48:52,520
Speaker 2: these guys. Halfway through the season. Lamar Jackson has the numbers.

1113
00:48:53,320 --> 00:48:56,640
Speaker 2: Mahomes and the Chief I had those numbers somewhere defeated.

1114
00:48:57,160 --> 00:48:57,520
Speaker 1: Look up.

1115
00:48:57,560 --> 00:48:58,560
Speaker 4: I'm going with.

1116
00:48:58,480 --> 00:49:02,440
Speaker 5: What Lamar Jackson's on pace for right now because it's

1117
00:49:02,440 --> 00:49:03,240
Speaker 5: absolutely stupid.

1118
00:49:03,280 --> 00:49:06,480
Speaker 4: It's insane. Okay, let's move to Rookie of the Year.

1119
00:49:06,640 --> 00:49:11,120
Speaker 4: Odds were obviously doing Offensive Rookie of the Year right now.

1120
00:49:11,280 --> 00:49:12,640
Speaker 4: I have both, you have both.

1121
00:49:12,719 --> 00:49:13,120
Speaker 3: I have both.

1122
00:49:13,200 --> 00:49:16,360
Speaker 2: Okay, I did Offensive Rookie of the Year and Jaden

1123
00:49:16,440 --> 00:49:21,520
Speaker 2: Daniels is favored by eight lands minus thirteen fifty and

1124
00:49:21,560 --> 00:49:24,160
Speaker 2: then you have Bonux and Caleb Williams tied at plus

1125
00:49:24,200 --> 00:49:25,480
Speaker 2: three thousand below him.

1126
00:49:25,480 --> 00:49:27,520
Speaker 4: But hands down, it has to be Jadeen Daniels.

1127
00:49:27,640 --> 00:49:30,400
Speaker 2: This is a kid who has had a seamless transition

1128
00:49:31,080 --> 00:49:32,879
Speaker 2: into the NFL and you have to give so much

1129
00:49:32,920 --> 00:49:36,080
Speaker 2: credit to Cliff Kingsbury who has helped ease him. And

1130
00:49:36,080 --> 00:49:38,879
Speaker 2: we've talked about that over and over again on this show.

1131
00:49:38,960 --> 00:49:42,200
Speaker 2: But Jaden has been named Rookie of the Week seven

1132
00:49:42,239 --> 00:49:45,560
Speaker 2: times this season out of nine weeks. Seven out of

1133
00:49:45,600 --> 00:49:48,719
Speaker 2: the nine weeks. That is right now, that is a

1134
00:49:48,840 --> 00:49:53,640
Speaker 2: unanimous decision in my mind, if if the award was

1135
00:49:53,680 --> 00:49:55,640
Speaker 2: given out right now, I mean he's won away from

1136
00:49:55,680 --> 00:49:59,040
Speaker 2: the record which Justin Herbert got with eight Rookie of

1137
00:49:59,080 --> 00:50:04,840
Speaker 2: the weeks, it's just yeah.

1138
00:50:03,400 --> 00:50:06,480
Speaker 4: He's yeah, he's he is the offensive RIGI of the year.

1139
00:50:06,480 --> 00:50:09,520
Speaker 5: In my mind, I really appreciate what Jane Daniels has

1140
00:50:09,520 --> 00:50:11,959
Speaker 5: been able to do, because, yes, Cliff Kingsbury was able

1141
00:50:11,960 --> 00:50:14,120
Speaker 5: to ease him. And if you watch Jayde and Daniels

1142
00:50:14,120 --> 00:50:17,040
Speaker 5: in the first four weeks this season, it looks drastically different.

1143
00:50:16,719 --> 00:50:18,200
Speaker 3: Than the Jane Daniels. You'll see now.

1144
00:50:18,640 --> 00:50:22,480
Speaker 5: And initially Cliff Kingsbury allowed him to ease in very

1145
00:50:22,520 --> 00:50:27,520
Speaker 5: easily by not giving him overloading him with longer progressions

1146
00:50:27,600 --> 00:50:30,960
Speaker 5: or like trying to get him to do multiple reads

1147
00:50:31,239 --> 00:50:34,080
Speaker 5: before he throws the ball. It was quick decisions, it

1148
00:50:34,160 --> 00:50:36,759
Speaker 5: was short passes. It was just let's stink and dunk

1149
00:50:36,800 --> 00:50:39,240
Speaker 5: our way down the field as much as possible. Now

1150
00:50:39,760 --> 00:50:41,680
Speaker 5: you see that Jane Daniels has started to open up

1151
00:50:41,719 --> 00:50:43,600
Speaker 5: this offense more, or Cliff Kingsbury has opened up this

1152
00:50:43,600 --> 00:50:45,759
Speaker 5: offense more with Jane Danis because he trusts him. And

1153
00:50:45,840 --> 00:50:48,120
Speaker 5: now Jane Danis is throwing the ball down the field

1154
00:50:48,239 --> 00:50:50,960
Speaker 5: and yet again still taking care of the ball. He

1155
00:50:51,000 --> 00:50:53,759
Speaker 5: has just five turnover worthy plays this season, that's one

1156
00:50:53,800 --> 00:50:58,880
Speaker 5: point six percent, And he now has the what fifth

1157
00:50:58,920 --> 00:51:02,920
Speaker 5: longest averaged up of target in the league, which to

1158
00:51:02,920 --> 00:51:04,960
Speaker 5: start the season he had the fourth shortest ye. So

1159
00:51:05,000 --> 00:51:06,719
Speaker 5: he's still pushing the ball down the field. He's now

1160
00:51:06,760 --> 00:51:09,920
Speaker 5: being extraordinarily productive. He's very decisive, he's very confident. This

1161
00:51:10,080 --> 00:51:12,440
Speaker 5: is absolutely a unanimous thing where you're talking about all right,

1162
00:51:12,520 --> 00:51:15,279
Speaker 5: Jon Daniels has Offensive Player of the Year all but

1163
00:51:15,360 --> 00:51:18,839
Speaker 5: locked up, barring any sort of crazy either meltdown by

1164
00:51:18,880 --> 00:51:21,839
Speaker 5: him or Resurgence by Kayleb Williams. I think this goes

1165
00:51:21,880 --> 00:51:23,799
Speaker 5: to Jay and Daniels, but then I also wanted to

1166
00:51:23,800 --> 00:51:27,080
Speaker 5: just give some love defensive Rookie of the Year because

1167
00:51:27,200 --> 00:51:29,680
Speaker 5: there were so few defensive players taken in the first round.

1168
00:51:29,680 --> 00:51:31,880
Speaker 5: I think that this is a little bit more wide open,

1169
00:51:32,600 --> 00:51:35,359
Speaker 5: but I do think that Jared Verse of the Los

1170
00:51:35,400 --> 00:51:38,640
Speaker 5: Angeles Rams has to be the front runner here. He

1171
00:51:38,840 --> 00:51:41,719
Speaker 5: just turned twenty four, but he leads the league in

1172
00:51:41,760 --> 00:51:45,440
Speaker 5: pressure percentage, not just rookies, everybody.

1173
00:51:45,600 --> 00:51:48,760
Speaker 4: That's impressive, and he's honestly.

1174
00:51:49,040 --> 00:51:52,160
Speaker 5: The Rams defense has generated season highs in pressure rate

1175
00:51:52,200 --> 00:51:54,520
Speaker 5: this last week fifty nine point one percent, sack rate

1176
00:51:54,560 --> 00:51:57,279
Speaker 5: fifteen two point nine, and they have made up for

1177
00:51:57,320 --> 00:52:00,960
Speaker 5: the absence now of Aaron Donald so beautifully. Jared Verse

1178
00:52:01,560 --> 00:52:05,960
Speaker 5: is him, Kobe Turner. Those guys are the reason for it.

1179
00:52:06,000 --> 00:52:10,120
Speaker 5: Braydon Fisk, even Jared versus teammate in college. It's worked

1180
00:52:10,160 --> 00:52:13,400
Speaker 5: out so beautifully. But Jared Verse has been so incredibly

1181
00:52:13,800 --> 00:52:15,080
Speaker 5: productive for how.

1182
00:52:16,400 --> 00:52:17,080
Speaker 3: Young he is.

1183
00:52:17,200 --> 00:52:20,239
Speaker 5: He's had four games this season with at least five

1184
00:52:20,239 --> 00:52:21,640
Speaker 5: pressures generated, and.

1185
00:52:21,640 --> 00:52:22,680
Speaker 4: It's just that's great.

1186
00:52:22,760 --> 00:52:25,359
Speaker 5: He's and then he's starting to kind of turn those

1187
00:52:25,360 --> 00:52:27,880
Speaker 5: into more sacks. He has three and a half sacks

1188
00:52:27,880 --> 00:52:30,239
Speaker 5: on the year. But it's you can tell that the

1189
00:52:30,280 --> 00:52:32,920
Speaker 5: ascension is happening. So Jared Verse, shout out to you

1190
00:52:33,000 --> 00:52:35,160
Speaker 5: birthday boy this week just turned twenty four.

1191
00:52:35,520 --> 00:52:35,960
Speaker 8: Love that.

1192
00:52:36,520 --> 00:52:39,680
Speaker 2: All right, Let's move to coach of the Year, and

1193
00:52:39,760 --> 00:52:43,160
Speaker 2: I think it's Dan Quinn. There was so much uncertainty

1194
00:52:43,400 --> 00:52:47,439
Speaker 2: and transition with this commander's team and he came in

1195
00:52:47,560 --> 00:52:51,120
Speaker 2: and has handled it perfectly. Dan is a defensive guy,

1196
00:52:51,400 --> 00:52:54,360
Speaker 2: and he went out and got the perfect offensive coordinator,

1197
00:52:54,440 --> 00:52:58,280
Speaker 2: as we just talked with Jane Daniels being the offensive

1198
00:52:58,320 --> 00:53:01,480
Speaker 2: Rookie of the Year is offensive coordinator Cliff Kingsbury. So

1199
00:53:01,480 --> 00:53:03,879
Speaker 2: a great leader knows how to delegate. You know, your

1200
00:53:03,960 --> 00:53:06,359
Speaker 2: strength is strength is defense. You go out and you

1201
00:53:06,440 --> 00:53:10,640
Speaker 2: find someone to help on the other side. And he

1202
00:53:10,680 --> 00:53:14,239
Speaker 2: did that. And we saw with Dan Quinn as a

1203
00:53:14,280 --> 00:53:17,120
Speaker 2: defensive coordinator in Dallas, players loved him. People thought he

1204
00:53:17,200 --> 00:53:20,280
Speaker 2: was going to be next in line as a Dallas

1205
00:53:20,320 --> 00:53:22,120
Speaker 2: head coach. But now I think he's in a much

1206
00:53:22,120 --> 00:53:23,560
Speaker 2: better and functional situation.

1207
00:53:24,320 --> 00:53:26,479
Speaker 4: And this is just this is.

1208
00:53:26,520 --> 00:53:29,000
Speaker 2: Just the beginning, and they are already so ahead of

1209
00:53:29,000 --> 00:53:30,080
Speaker 2: schedule and it's so fun.

1210
00:53:30,120 --> 00:53:30,520
Speaker 4: To watch.

1211
00:53:30,960 --> 00:53:33,080
Speaker 5: His defense is out performing their talent level too. I

1212
00:53:33,080 --> 00:53:34,920
Speaker 5: think nobody was really sold on that defense, and now

1213
00:53:34,920 --> 00:53:36,560
Speaker 5: you're starting to kind of reckon with the fact that

1214
00:53:36,600 --> 00:53:38,239
Speaker 5: it is. And I agree that dan Quinn has done

1215
00:53:38,239 --> 00:53:40,879
Speaker 5: a beautiful job, but don't forget he's been a head

1216
00:53:40,880 --> 00:53:43,200
Speaker 5: coach before. He knows how to do this. I got

1217
00:53:43,200 --> 00:53:45,479
Speaker 5: to give it to Kevin O'Connell. This is his first

1218
00:53:45,480 --> 00:53:47,920
Speaker 5: head coaching job. He's now been with the Minnesota Vikings, right,

1219
00:53:47,920 --> 00:53:50,480
Speaker 5: I believe this is third fourth year, and he has

1220
00:53:50,840 --> 00:53:55,280
Speaker 5: re like Sam Darnold has gone through a complete resurgence

1221
00:53:55,400 --> 00:53:58,040
Speaker 5: in his career. He was given up on by multiple

1222
00:53:58,080 --> 00:54:02,160
Speaker 5: teams and he gets to Minnesota and he is now thriving.

1223
00:54:02,200 --> 00:54:04,600
Speaker 5: He's on pace for his first four thousand yard season.

1224
00:54:04,800 --> 00:54:07,080
Speaker 5: He's already matched his touchdown total from his rookie year

1225
00:54:07,120 --> 00:54:10,000
Speaker 5: at seventeen. He's on pace for thirty six touchdowns this year.

1226
00:54:10,480 --> 00:54:13,360
Speaker 5: And when you consider that they have a new running

1227
00:54:13,360 --> 00:54:15,080
Speaker 5: back in Aaron Jones in the backfield.

1228
00:54:15,239 --> 00:54:15,520
Speaker 3: TJ.

1229
00:54:15,600 --> 00:54:18,520
Speaker 5: Hodginson just rejoined the lineup this last week. Of course,

1230
00:54:18,560 --> 00:54:20,719
Speaker 5: you have Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison, and you have

1231
00:54:20,760 --> 00:54:22,800
Speaker 5: a ton of talent on that offensive side of the ball.

1232
00:54:23,200 --> 00:54:26,640
Speaker 5: But you needed in order for this to work, Sam

1233
00:54:26,760 --> 00:54:30,239
Speaker 5: Darnald had to be good, and he has been. He

1234
00:54:30,280 --> 00:54:33,800
Speaker 5: has done He's outperformed all expectations. He has potentially researched,

1235
00:54:33,800 --> 00:54:36,600
Speaker 5: like revived his entire career so that even if he

1236
00:54:36,640 --> 00:54:38,600
Speaker 5: doesn't stay in Minnesota because they do end up making

1237
00:54:38,640 --> 00:54:41,440
Speaker 5: the switch to JJ McCarthy, he's.

1238
00:54:41,360 --> 00:54:43,480
Speaker 3: Going to be able to go somewhere and do well.

1239
00:54:43,600 --> 00:54:45,879
Speaker 5: I think that the things that Kevin O'Connell has taught

1240
00:54:45,920 --> 00:54:48,040
Speaker 5: him and how they have he has developed under Kevin

1241
00:54:48,080 --> 00:54:50,960
Speaker 5: O'Connell is stuff that Sam Donald can take with him.

1242
00:54:50,960 --> 00:54:54,480
Speaker 3: And then on top of that, two years ago, Kevin.

1243
00:54:54,200 --> 00:54:57,880
Speaker 5: O'Connell was the driving force behind getting Brian Flores to

1244
00:54:58,120 --> 00:55:01,080
Speaker 5: Minnesota and do and to head up the defensive side

1245
00:55:01,080 --> 00:55:03,480
Speaker 5: of the ball, and Brian Flores is defense. Save for

1246
00:55:03,560 --> 00:55:06,359
Speaker 5: Matthew Stafford and Jared Goff, no other quarterback has been

1247
00:55:06,360 --> 00:55:08,960
Speaker 5: able to figure them out. And they are getting so

1248
00:55:09,080 --> 00:55:11,600
Speaker 5: much better every single year that now Brian Floyes has

1249
00:55:11,640 --> 00:55:13,920
Speaker 5: been there, he is asking guys to do just the

1250
00:55:14,080 --> 00:55:18,239
Speaker 5: craziest stuff and it's working. It's so creative, it has

1251
00:55:18,400 --> 00:55:21,000
Speaker 5: very little tendencies and there are not a lot of

1252
00:55:21,080 --> 00:55:23,960
Speaker 5: quarterbacks that can beat it because it essentially just requires

1253
00:55:24,000 --> 00:55:28,000
Speaker 5: a very high IQ. So putting those two together and

1254
00:55:28,040 --> 00:55:31,960
Speaker 5: then having Kevin O'Connell, I honestly think that three of

1255
00:55:31,960 --> 00:55:33,640
Speaker 5: the four coaches in the NFC North have a case

1256
00:55:33,680 --> 00:55:35,520
Speaker 5: to be coach of the year. Between Dan Campbell, what

1257
00:55:35,560 --> 00:55:37,640
Speaker 5: Mattlafloor was able to do when Jordan Love hasn't been

1258
00:55:37,640 --> 00:55:39,879
Speaker 5: in the lineup, able to win those games with Malik

1259
00:55:39,960 --> 00:55:43,319
Speaker 5: Willis under center and switch up the scheme so drastically

1260
00:55:43,880 --> 00:55:46,279
Speaker 5: sometimes in the middle of a game, I think all

1261
00:55:46,320 --> 00:55:49,440
Speaker 5: three of those coaches really have a case to be

1262
00:55:49,520 --> 00:55:50,759
Speaker 5: Coach of the Year. But I'm going to give the

1263
00:55:50,840 --> 00:55:51,719
Speaker 5: edge Kevin O'Connell.

1264
00:55:51,760 --> 00:55:55,880
Speaker 2: All Right, I went Dan Quinn, Kevin O'Connell, both honestly

1265
00:55:56,080 --> 00:55:59,120
Speaker 2: great choices. Okay, I think we can get one more

1266
00:55:59,160 --> 00:56:01,360
Speaker 2: in here. Let's go to do you want to do

1267
00:56:01,400 --> 00:56:02,719
Speaker 2: Offensive Player of the Year or do you want to

1268
00:56:02,760 --> 00:56:03,480
Speaker 2: do biggest.

1269
00:56:03,160 --> 00:56:06,720
Speaker 4: Surprises Offensive player of the year? Ossive Player of the Year? Okay,

1270
00:56:06,760 --> 00:56:08,040
Speaker 4: so offensive player of the Year.

1271
00:56:08,080 --> 00:56:10,239
Speaker 2: There are two names that are taking over right now,

1272
00:56:10,239 --> 00:56:14,240
Speaker 2: and like these are Week nine numbers since Derrick Henry

1273
00:56:14,280 --> 00:56:17,680
Speaker 2: played on Thursday. But as of that, it's Derrick Henry

1274
00:56:17,760 --> 00:56:20,919
Speaker 2: and Saquon Barkley that are the two I think front

1275
00:56:20,960 --> 00:56:23,960
Speaker 2: runners right now for Offensive Player of the Year. I'm

1276
00:56:23,960 --> 00:56:25,719
Speaker 2: going to go with Saquon Barkley because he has just

1277
00:56:25,800 --> 00:56:29,040
Speaker 2: been he Henry has the better numbers, but Barkley has

1278
00:56:29,200 --> 00:56:33,160
Speaker 2: just been electric with this new team. He has a

1279
00:56:33,200 --> 00:56:36,960
Speaker 2: new energy. He's creating new moves at Barkley hurdle that

1280
00:56:37,000 --> 00:56:39,439
Speaker 2: we saw last weekend, the spin move backwards hurdle.

1281
00:56:39,480 --> 00:56:40,719
Speaker 3: Oh, you just want to do that again?

1282
00:56:40,920 --> 00:56:44,759
Speaker 4: No, no, but it was like the freshest move I

1283
00:56:44,880 --> 00:56:45,920
Speaker 4: have ever seen it.

1284
00:56:46,000 --> 00:56:47,799
Speaker 2: Just seen the reaction of all of his teammates, these

1285
00:56:47,840 --> 00:56:51,640
Speaker 2: grown men on the sidelines who have watched football their

1286
00:56:51,840 --> 00:56:55,800
Speaker 2: entire lives, just like full shock mouth, open hands on face,

1287
00:56:55,960 --> 00:56:57,840
Speaker 2: like absolutely insane.

1288
00:56:58,080 --> 00:57:00,000
Speaker 4: I just he's halfway through.

1289
00:56:59,920 --> 00:57:02,279
Speaker 2: The season and he is on track to blow his

1290
00:57:02,320 --> 00:57:05,279
Speaker 2: career highs in rushing yards out of the water. He's

1291
00:57:05,320 --> 00:57:07,319
Speaker 2: already at nine hundred and twenty five rushing yards right now.

1292
00:57:07,360 --> 00:57:11,520
Speaker 2: His career highs two thousand and twenty two in twenty

1293
00:57:11,560 --> 00:57:14,880
Speaker 2: twenty two is one thousand, three hundred and twelve. I yeah,

1294
00:57:15,200 --> 00:57:18,000
Speaker 2: I'm I'm high and so happy for Saquon Barkley.

1295
00:57:18,200 --> 00:57:19,760
Speaker 3: I don't know how you go with anybody other than

1296
00:57:19,760 --> 00:57:20,560
Speaker 3: Derrick Henry, though.

1297
00:57:20,600 --> 00:57:23,960
Speaker 5: I mean, he is on pace for nineteen hundred over

1298
00:57:24,000 --> 00:57:27,600
Speaker 5: nineteen hundred rushing yards very easily could eclipse two thousand,

1299
00:57:27,840 --> 00:57:32,480
Speaker 5: has twelve touchdowns already this season on the ground, could

1300
00:57:32,560 --> 00:57:34,680
Speaker 5: end up well. He's on pace for twenty touchdowns by

1301
00:57:34,680 --> 00:57:36,440
Speaker 5: the end of the year. He's tied for the second

1302
00:57:36,440 --> 00:57:39,880
Speaker 5: most explosive runs, fifth most mistackle is forced with thirty three.

1303
00:57:40,200 --> 00:57:42,840
Speaker 5: He's rushed for a league leading forty five first downs.

1304
00:57:43,040 --> 00:57:47,240
Speaker 5: He is moving the chains almost single handedly for the

1305
00:57:47,240 --> 00:57:50,560
Speaker 5: Baltimore Ravens offense, which is coupled now not single handedly,

1306
00:57:50,920 --> 00:57:53,640
Speaker 5: but he is now coupled with how well Lamar Jackson

1307
00:57:53,680 --> 00:57:57,560
Speaker 5: is passing the ball. I cannot like Derrick Henry is

1308
00:57:57,640 --> 00:58:00,320
Speaker 5: just it's so funny because he's like the first to

1309
00:58:00,400 --> 00:58:02,520
Speaker 5: do this since and then you think back on like

1310
00:58:02,520 --> 00:58:05,600
Speaker 5: the performances we've seen from like Ladanian, Tomlinson, Adrian Peterson,

1311
00:58:05,840 --> 00:58:08,480
Speaker 5: and you realize really how ridiculous those guys were, because

1312
00:58:08,640 --> 00:58:13,360
Speaker 5: what Derek Henry is doing is absolutely insane, and he's

1313
00:58:13,360 --> 00:58:15,280
Speaker 5: doing it for one of the most productive offenses. But

1314
00:58:15,320 --> 00:58:18,240
Speaker 5: it's still a run first offense, which is just wild

1315
00:58:18,320 --> 00:58:20,120
Speaker 5: to me that they are this productive, but that's what

1316
00:58:20,160 --> 00:58:24,120
Speaker 5: happens when you're running back already has twelve touchdowns on

1317
00:58:24,160 --> 00:58:24,560
Speaker 5: the season.

1318
00:58:25,360 --> 00:58:27,919
Speaker 4: Wild, So the best one to best one two punch

1319
00:58:27,960 --> 00:58:28,280
Speaker 4: over there.

1320
00:58:28,360 --> 00:58:29,880
Speaker 5: So all right, Defensive Player of the Year shout out

1321
00:58:29,880 --> 00:58:31,880
Speaker 5: Dexter Lawrence Sexy DEXI. I need to get my lineman

Speaker 5: in there. I need the trenches. Got I need the

1323
00:58:33,760 --> 00:58:35,720
Speaker 5: trenches in there. He's got a good case and I

00:58:35,720 --> 00:58:36,360
Speaker 5: want it for him.

1325
00:58:36,400 --> 00:58:37,400

00:59:18,760 --> 00:59:19,840
Speaker 5: missed any of today's show.

1341
00:59:20,080 --> 00:59:21,720
Speaker 2: So one of the things we didn't get to in

1342
00:59:21,720 --> 00:59:24,200
Speaker 2: the last segment where the kind of the biggest surprises

1343
00:59:24,720 --> 00:59:27,400
Speaker 2: this year, and this one was definitely a surprise because

1344
00:59:27,400 --> 00:59:30,400
Speaker 2: the forty nine Ers were favored in every game this season.

1345
00:59:30,440 --> 00:59:31,640
Speaker 4: They were a super Bowl favorite.

1346
00:59:31,680 --> 00:59:34,040
Speaker 2: They're currently four and four, fourth in the NFC West,

1347
00:59:34,480 --> 00:59:36,720
Speaker 2: but they've been plagued with a lot of injuries this year, right,

1348
00:59:36,800 --> 00:59:40,840
Speaker 2: so that is their excuse. However, they're getting a big

1349
00:59:40,920 --> 00:59:45,480
Speaker 2: name back this week, CMC. You are their only hope.

1350
00:59:45,560 --> 00:59:49,680
Speaker 2: Christan McCaffrey is back at practice. Can he save the

1351
00:59:49,720 --> 00:59:53,880
Speaker 2: forty nine ers season? And when you look at the numbers,

1352
00:59:53,880 --> 00:59:57,240
Speaker 2: the numbers speak for themselves, right with Christian McCaffrey. Without

1353
00:59:57,360 --> 01:00:01,720
Speaker 2: Christian McCaffrey, their record obviously sleeve. He's played a lot

1354
01:00:01,720 --> 01:00:04,720
Speaker 2: more than he's missed twenty six and seven without seven

1355
01:00:04,720 --> 01:00:10,480
Speaker 2: and eight. He is a game changing player. But my

1356
01:00:10,640 --> 01:00:12,960
Speaker 2: question is we all know he was getting treatment over

1357
01:00:13,000 --> 01:00:15,560
Speaker 2: in Germany for his achilles tendonitis.

1358
01:00:16,400 --> 01:00:17,680
Speaker 4: Is he going to be the same player?

1359
01:00:18,800 --> 01:00:21,280
Speaker 2: Are you like, are there going to be any sort

1360
01:00:21,320 --> 01:00:25,160
Speaker 2: of restrictions on the explosiveness, on the agility, things like that.

1361
01:00:25,240 --> 01:00:28,320
Speaker 2: I hope so, because it is so much better for

1362
01:00:28,320 --> 01:00:30,800
Speaker 2: the league when the best players are at their peak

1363
01:00:30,880 --> 01:00:36,439
Speaker 2: and able to play and the division is still up

1364
01:00:36,560 --> 01:00:40,040
Speaker 2: for grabs the NFC West.

1365
01:00:41,720 --> 01:00:44,080
Speaker 5: The real question isn't if he can save the forty

1366
01:00:44,160 --> 01:00:46,280
Speaker 5: nine Ers, because the forty nine Ers have the seventh

1367
01:00:46,360 --> 01:00:48,440
Speaker 5: most points per game. They have the second ranked offense

1368
01:00:48,520 --> 01:00:51,000
Speaker 5: in the league. Jordan Mason has the second most rushing yards,

1369
01:00:51,000 --> 01:00:54,520
Speaker 5: behind only Derrick Henry, So he not that there is

1370
01:00:54,600 --> 01:00:58,080
Speaker 5: a comp for Christian McAfrey, because Christian McCaffrey is one

1371
01:00:58,120 --> 01:00:59,959
Speaker 5: of the best dual threatbacks we've ever seen.

1372
01:01:01,480 --> 01:01:02,840
Speaker 3: But they've also.

1373
01:01:02,680 --> 01:01:07,640
Speaker 5: Had the unfortunate aspect of having to play a first

1374
01:01:07,640 --> 01:01:11,960
Speaker 5: place schedule in the NFC West, and the defense has

1375
01:01:12,080 --> 01:01:14,880
Speaker 5: faltered a little bit more than we're used to seeing.

1376
01:01:15,720 --> 01:01:16,040
Speaker 4: Now.

1377
01:01:16,120 --> 01:01:19,040
Speaker 5: They have their twenty eighth in total EPA per play

1378
01:01:19,080 --> 01:01:21,400
Speaker 5: allowed defensively, which means forty four percent of the plays

1379
01:01:21,400 --> 01:01:24,120
Speaker 5: against them have generated a positive EPA for the other team.

1380
01:01:24,800 --> 01:01:25,720
Speaker 1: That's not good.

1381
01:01:26,040 --> 01:01:27,520
Speaker 3: You need all of this to happen.

1382
01:01:27,640 --> 01:01:31,000
Speaker 5: So what you need to see is a little bit more,

1383
01:01:31,080 --> 01:01:33,240
Speaker 5: like you need to see the defense kick into gear

1384
01:01:33,240 --> 01:01:35,040
Speaker 5: a little bit more. What you need to see from

1385
01:01:35,120 --> 01:01:38,400
Speaker 5: Christian McCaffrey is can you take this team from scoring

1386
01:01:38,440 --> 01:01:41,560
Speaker 5: twenty six point three points per game to maybe more

1387
01:01:41,640 --> 01:01:43,640
Speaker 5: like thirty points game? Because this is who they have

1388
01:01:43,720 --> 01:01:48,320
Speaker 5: coming up, The Buccaneers, the Seahawks, the Packers, the Packers, wow,

1389
01:01:48,400 --> 01:01:51,440
Speaker 5: my Midwest just came out, and the Bills. Yeah, this

1390
01:01:51,600 --> 01:01:53,840
Speaker 5: is a tough schedule coming up. They are going to

1391
01:01:53,920 --> 01:01:56,720
Speaker 5: need every bit of offensive firepower that they can muster.

1392
01:01:57,480 --> 01:02:01,400
Speaker 5: But there is precedent for this too. Two years ago,

1393
01:02:01,440 --> 01:02:03,280
Speaker 5: the forty nine ers were sitting at four and four

1394
01:02:03,360 --> 01:02:06,280
Speaker 5: on their bye week like they did this year, and

1395
01:02:06,320 --> 01:02:11,200
Speaker 5: then they ran the table, won every single game except

1396
01:02:11,280 --> 01:02:13,480
Speaker 5: for their last one against the Philadelphia Eagles when it

1397
01:02:13,520 --> 01:02:14,080
Speaker 5: does matter.

1398
01:02:14,160 --> 01:02:16,640
Speaker 4: But that's so they went down, right, Is that what

1399
01:02:16,680 --> 01:02:17,520
Speaker 4: you're talking about now?

1400
01:02:17,840 --> 01:02:21,560
Speaker 3: No, this is they won, they won out and then.

1401
01:02:21,520 --> 01:02:23,200
Speaker 5: They lost that last game to the Eagles, which it

1402
01:02:23,200 --> 01:02:25,360
Speaker 5: didn't matter because they were already in the playoffs. So like,

1403
01:02:25,800 --> 01:02:27,400
Speaker 5: there is precedent for the forty nine ers to be

1404
01:02:27,480 --> 01:02:29,040
Speaker 5: able to do this, and that they just kind of

1405
01:02:29,120 --> 01:02:32,320
Speaker 5: reset after their bye week and that makes the difference

1406
01:02:32,320 --> 01:02:33,000
Speaker 5: going there forward.

1407
01:02:33,040 --> 01:02:34,960
Speaker 3: So they were on there by this last week. We're

1408
01:02:35,000 --> 01:02:36,120
Speaker 3: going to see them come out of it.

1409
01:02:36,720 --> 01:02:40,920
Speaker 5: And I really think that they in general, I don't

1410
01:02:40,960 --> 01:02:43,760
Speaker 5: think it's up to Christian McCaffrey to save their season.

1411
01:02:43,760 --> 01:02:45,400
Speaker 3: I don't think their season needs to be saved. We've

1412
01:02:45,440 --> 01:02:46,720
Speaker 3: seen them do this before.

1413
01:02:46,720 --> 01:02:49,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, but it hasn't like for someone that like for

1414
01:02:49,160 --> 01:02:51,200
Speaker 2: a team that was favored in every single game.

1415
01:02:51,560 --> 01:02:53,960
Speaker 4: It happen an office they four and four.

1416
01:02:54,320 --> 01:02:57,240
Speaker 2: They are lucky though that like the NFC West is

1417
01:02:57,280 --> 01:03:00,400
Speaker 2: like a game or two away from like if they

1418
01:03:00,600 --> 01:03:02,600
Speaker 2: go on a good little street because we get the

1419
01:03:02,640 --> 01:03:06,160
Speaker 2: Cards in first at five and four Rams and forty

1420
01:03:06,240 --> 01:03:08,040
Speaker 2: nine Ers or four and four and the Seahawks at

1421
01:03:08,080 --> 01:03:13,000
Speaker 2: four and five, it's very doable within the division. But

1422
01:03:13,240 --> 01:03:15,720
Speaker 2: I do think they need to start if they want

1423
01:03:15,760 --> 01:03:18,160
Speaker 2: to get to the expectations of what everyone had them

1424
01:03:18,160 --> 01:03:21,200
Speaker 2: for this season, it needs to happen like now.

1425
01:03:21,720 --> 01:03:24,720
Speaker 5: Like I'm saying that's happened before. It happened in twenty

1426
01:03:24,720 --> 01:03:27,080
Speaker 5: twenty two. It happened in twenty twenty one. After their

1427
01:03:27,080 --> 01:03:30,080
Speaker 5: bye week. They have done like they have done tremendously

1428
01:03:30,120 --> 01:03:33,600
Speaker 5: better and getting a guy like Christian McCaffrey back, even

1429
01:03:33,600 --> 01:03:36,000
Speaker 5: if he's not the same exact player as he was,

1430
01:03:36,120 --> 01:03:37,440
Speaker 5: or he has a little bit of rust that he

1431
01:03:37,480 --> 01:03:39,800
Speaker 5: needs to shake off, that is still another component to

1432
01:03:39,840 --> 01:03:41,840
Speaker 5: that offense that you need to respect as a defense.

1433
01:03:42,120 --> 01:03:44,480
Speaker 5: And that is where you're going to see Kyle Shanahan's

1434
01:03:44,480 --> 01:03:47,360
Speaker 5: play calling ability really come into play, because we know

1435
01:03:47,400 --> 01:03:49,320
Speaker 5: that he's a really good offensive play caller. Half the

1436
01:03:49,360 --> 01:03:52,040
Speaker 5: teams in the league play a system now based on

1437
01:03:52,560 --> 01:03:57,920
Speaker 5: the Shanahan McVeigh three essentially, So I have faith in

1438
01:03:57,640 --> 01:04:00,000
Speaker 5: in Kyle Shanahan being able to tweak what he needs

1439
01:04:00,080 --> 01:04:01,880
Speaker 5: into tweak in the bye week for the forty nine

1440
01:04:01,960 --> 01:04:04,000
Speaker 5: ers to come out swinging. And it's not going to

1441
01:04:04,080 --> 01:04:06,640
Speaker 5: be easy. Like I said, their next four games are

1442
01:04:06,680 --> 01:04:08,240
Speaker 5: against very quality opponents.

1443
01:04:08,320 --> 01:04:10,480
Speaker 4: Yep, but yeah, bucks of them putting up a fight.

1444
01:04:10,440 --> 01:04:12,840
Speaker 5: With Yeah, their defense is still incredible and they've done

1445
01:04:12,840 --> 01:04:15,200
Speaker 5: well against the forty nine ers historically under Todd Bowles

1446
01:04:15,280 --> 01:04:17,120
Speaker 5: or with Todd Bowles as the defensive coordinator.

1447
01:04:17,760 --> 01:04:19,360
Speaker 3: I really do think.

1448
01:04:19,400 --> 01:04:22,200
Speaker 5: That you just need a little bit of a spark.

1449
01:04:22,240 --> 01:04:23,800
Speaker 5: But like Christian McCaffery is going to be able to

1450
01:04:23,840 --> 01:04:25,840
Speaker 5: give that for give that to you, and he doesn't

1451
01:04:25,880 --> 01:04:29,120
Speaker 5: even need to be an all world beater to do it.

1452
01:04:29,120 --> 01:04:30,720
Speaker 2: It's going to be interesting, all right. Let's check in

1453
01:04:30,720 --> 01:04:32,800
Speaker 2: with Martin Wise now and see what's trending.

1454

1458
01:04:51,760 --> 01:04:53,720
Speaker 11: did leave this game early, but he came back and

1459

1520
01:07:47,520 --> 01:07:48,560
Speaker 5: I had to bring you on.

1521
01:07:50,040 --> 01:07:53,880
Speaker 6: How about them Hoosiers? I have a bet with Taylor L.

1522
01:07:54,000 --> 01:07:54,280
Speaker 1: Lawn.

1523
01:07:54,520 --> 01:07:56,360
Speaker 6: He thought that Michigan was going to be able to

1524
01:07:56,400 --> 01:07:59,720
Speaker 6: handle business the way that they have basically our entire

1525
01:07:59,800 --> 01:08:02,880
Speaker 6: life time and yet down seventeen to three, looking like

1526
01:08:02,920 --> 01:08:05,840
Speaker 6: a bunch of sad boys in Bloomington, Indiana.

1527
01:08:06,120 --> 01:08:10,800
Speaker 2: Okay, well, then let's start. Let's start with your Hoosiers.

1528
01:08:10,840 --> 01:08:14,600
Speaker 2: Because Carmie was talking about, you know, you got a

1529
01:08:14,600 --> 01:08:17,080
Speaker 2: lot of love for this team. How surprising has it

1530
01:08:17,400 --> 01:08:20,120
Speaker 2: been to see this start for Indiana.

1531
01:08:21,360 --> 01:08:25,200
Speaker 6: Well, let's start there first and foremost, because none of

1532
01:08:25,360 --> 01:08:29,519
Speaker 6: no Indiana alum know that Indiana football existence until this year.

1533
01:08:29,520 --> 01:08:32,560
Speaker 6: I'll tell you that love that right now, we tailgate,

1534
01:08:32,600 --> 01:08:34,520
Speaker 6: we go home, we watch Notre Dame.

1535
01:08:35,640 --> 01:08:37,680
Speaker 1: So the idea that is brutal.

1536
01:08:38,320 --> 01:08:41,680
Speaker 6: Indiana in the middle of November. I'm doing you know,

1537
01:08:41,800 --> 01:08:44,800
Speaker 6: Fox Sports Radio national hits talking about Indiana, but it's

1538
01:08:44,840 --> 01:08:48,519
Speaker 6: not The basketball team is a completely foreign concept. So

1539
01:08:48,640 --> 01:08:50,479
Speaker 6: it's awesome to see. I mean, it's the coolest story

1540
01:08:50,520 --> 01:08:52,599
Speaker 6: in college football this year. I don't know how much

1541
01:08:52,640 --> 01:08:56,559
Speaker 6: you guys know about Kurt Signetti. The coaches gone gone

1542
01:08:57,280 --> 01:09:00,879
Speaker 6: a very interesting route to take and on a program

1543
01:09:00,920 --> 01:09:03,519
Speaker 6: that nobody believed in rightfully, so they have more losses

1544
01:09:03,920 --> 01:09:06,240
Speaker 6: in college football than any program in the history of

1545
01:09:06,280 --> 01:09:09,759
Speaker 6: the sport. It's a pretty nice dragging point. Radiana football

1546
01:09:09,800 --> 01:09:11,960
Speaker 6: have been playing football a long long time and they've

1547
01:09:11,960 --> 01:09:15,720
Speaker 6: been losing a long, long long time. So it is

1548
01:09:16,120 --> 01:09:18,840
Speaker 6: it's really really cool to see. And you know, even

1549
01:09:18,880 --> 01:09:21,719
Speaker 6: the text former players like the guys on the Titans

1550
01:09:21,800 --> 01:09:24,160
Speaker 6: roster Nick westber Kakia, guys who have played for the

1551
01:09:24,160 --> 01:09:26,400
Speaker 6: Titans that it's the team that I cover. Roger Sapples,

1552
01:09:26,400 --> 01:09:30,080
Speaker 6: who's in Bloomington today, taken in the game. They're shocked

1553
01:09:30,080 --> 01:09:32,439
Speaker 6: that people are paying attention that Indiana has a sellout

1554
01:09:32,439 --> 01:09:35,760
Speaker 6: crowd their fourth sellout out of the year. It's unthinkable.

1555
01:09:35,880 --> 01:09:37,560
Speaker 5: It's so funny because it took me a while to

1556
01:09:38,080 --> 01:09:41,040
Speaker 5: trust this team, as I think I'm justified in doing so.

1557
01:09:41,560 --> 01:09:43,880
Speaker 5: But now you see the college football rankings come out

1558
01:09:43,960 --> 01:09:47,400
Speaker 5: and playoff rankings rather come out this week and Indiana

1559
01:09:47,479 --> 01:09:50,439
Speaker 5: at nine and zero with the seventh hardest strength of

1560
01:09:50,520 --> 01:09:55,479
Speaker 5: record score according to ESPN, is sitting at eight even

1561
01:09:55,520 --> 01:09:58,000
Speaker 5: though they're nine to zero. I mean, there's now I

1562
01:09:58,000 --> 01:10:00,280
Speaker 5: think we need to catch up. There's little little bit

1563
01:10:00,280 --> 01:10:02,280
Speaker 5: of disrespect for Indiana. I was I was putting on

1564
01:10:02,360 --> 01:10:03,960
Speaker 5: for them, thinking that they should have been higher.

1565
01:10:05,040 --> 01:10:07,880
Speaker 6: No, it's it's a crime. And I love that given

1566
01:10:07,920 --> 01:10:11,679
Speaker 6: this work and live in the state of Tennessee, where

1567
01:10:11,720 --> 01:10:15,480
Speaker 6: they have been desperately climb climbing back to football relevancy

1568
01:10:16,000 --> 01:10:19,200
Speaker 6: for basically the better part of twenty years since Lane

1569
01:10:19,280 --> 01:10:20,960
Speaker 6: Kiffin kind of hit it and quit it and got

1570
01:10:21,000 --> 01:10:24,040
Speaker 6: on his way onto his next job. I mean, it

1571
01:10:24,160 --> 01:10:27,800
Speaker 6: is unbelievable to see how big a turnaround that is.

1572
01:10:27,840 --> 01:10:29,920
Speaker 6: And right now you know the first college football playoff

1573
01:10:30,000 --> 01:10:32,320
Speaker 6: rankings has come out, Indiana is in the top twelve.

1574
01:10:32,400 --> 01:10:37,479
Speaker 6: Obviously that's a big play. A game at Kneeland stadium

1575
01:10:37,600 --> 01:10:40,400
Speaker 6: if things held correctly right now in the first round

1576
01:10:40,400 --> 01:10:43,519
Speaker 6: of the College football dying to hold that over the

1577
01:10:43,680 --> 01:10:48,080
Speaker 6: entire state of Tennessee to my own detriment, my own that's.

1578
01:10:47,880 --> 01:10:49,920
Speaker 4: Going to make your friends, all right, buck Well, you're

1579
01:10:49,920 --> 01:10:50,360
Speaker 4: in LA.

1580
01:10:50,520 --> 01:10:54,200
Speaker 2: You're in town covering Titans Chargers game tomorrow, and the

1581
01:10:54,240 --> 01:10:56,440
Speaker 2: Titans are switching back to all of us at quarterback

1582
01:10:56,560 --> 01:10:59,800
Speaker 2: now that he's recovered from the shoulder injury.

1583
01:11:00,920 --> 01:11:04,439
Speaker 4: Okay, that that was everything right there? Just go go off,

1584
01:11:04,920 --> 01:11:05,320
Speaker 4: go off.

1585
01:11:05,800 --> 01:11:05,920
Speaker 9: Uh.

1586
01:11:06,360 --> 01:11:10,040
Speaker 6: He's very stressful, and you know he's he's very well meaning,

1587
01:11:10,120 --> 01:11:12,439
Speaker 6: but he's very stressful in the way that he plays quarterback.

1588
01:11:12,520 --> 01:11:15,479
Speaker 6: And it's not been terribly seamless this year. And you know,

1589
01:11:15,600 --> 01:11:18,480
Speaker 6: I'm honest to God, I would not wish this situation

1590
01:11:18,640 --> 01:11:23,040
Speaker 6: on anybody. He's in. He is very tightly round and

1591
01:11:23,080 --> 01:11:24,559
Speaker 6: he's got a lot of pressure on him. And they

1592
01:11:24,600 --> 01:11:26,360
Speaker 6: spent a ton of money to invest around him. They

1593
01:11:26,400 --> 01:11:28,880
Speaker 6: hired a coaching staff that's there to maximize him, and

1594
01:11:29,080 --> 01:11:31,200
Speaker 6: it's fallen flat on its face. I mean, people in Nashville,

1595
01:11:31,240 --> 01:11:33,240
Speaker 6: for the amount of money they spent, they expected to

1596
01:11:33,240 --> 01:11:36,559
Speaker 6: be meaningfully competitive this year, and instead, the team identity

1597
01:11:36,600 --> 01:11:41,240
Speaker 6: is that of Will Levis and his means like it's yeah,

1598
01:11:41,280 --> 01:11:44,280
Speaker 6: and the man that's the other thing. Like, you know,

1599
01:11:44,320 --> 01:11:46,639
Speaker 6: there were a couple of smart people like Peyton Manning

1600
01:11:46,680 --> 01:11:49,240
Speaker 6: and Mike Rabel who told him, hey, you know, he's

1601
01:11:49,320 --> 01:11:52,360
Speaker 6: easy on the marketing stuff until make the football part first.

1602
01:11:52,360 --> 01:11:54,280
Speaker 6: And there's even equips of him and the Manning passing

1603
01:11:54,320 --> 01:11:57,479
Speaker 6: academy asking Peyton about the marketing side of things. So

1604
01:11:57,479 --> 01:11:59,960
Speaker 6: it just makes the mayonnaise campaign that's a national campaig

1605
01:12:00,200 --> 01:12:02,320
Speaker 6: still running even though the guy hasn't played it. I

1606
01:12:02,360 --> 01:12:04,880
Speaker 6: just saw it pop up on the spend today for

1607
01:12:05,000 --> 01:12:07,040
Speaker 6: Hellman's No Free ads. And you know how much less the

1608
01:12:07,040 --> 01:12:09,519
Speaker 6: offense of doing Hellman's over dukes in the South. I mean,

1609
01:12:09,560 --> 01:12:10,920
Speaker 6: it's it's criminal what he's done here.

1610
01:12:11,640 --> 01:12:12,520
Speaker 3: It's hilarious.

1611
01:12:13,360 --> 01:12:16,479
Speaker 5: There's so much, so much there. But all right, so

1612
01:12:16,520 --> 01:12:19,200
Speaker 5: then what do we expect out of Will Levison coming

1613
01:12:19,200 --> 01:12:22,400
Speaker 5: into this game? Are we expecting to see anything drastically different?

1614
01:12:22,400 --> 01:12:25,200
Speaker 5: Do we think that he's you know, sitting down has

1615
01:12:25,320 --> 01:12:27,280
Speaker 5: been beneficial for him?

1616
01:12:27,560 --> 01:12:27,880
Speaker 3: What?

1617
01:12:27,880 --> 01:12:28,160
Speaker 1: What?

1618
01:12:28,160 --> 01:12:29,240
Speaker 3: What do we expect tomorrow?

1619
01:12:29,920 --> 01:12:33,600
Speaker 6: I mean, it can't get worse. Carmen, I saw you

1620
01:12:33,640 --> 01:12:36,559
Speaker 6: week one in Chicago when he literally gave the game

1621
01:12:36,600 --> 01:12:38,680
Speaker 6: away on that on that one of the weirdest looking

1622
01:12:38,920 --> 01:12:39,760
Speaker 6: sis I've ever seen.

1623
01:12:39,840 --> 01:12:41,320
Speaker 3: Yes, we did in my life.

1624
01:12:41,360 --> 01:12:45,040
Speaker 6: It was. It's been it's been pretty pretty ghastly for

1625
01:12:45,120 --> 01:12:47,880
Speaker 6: will Levis. So you know, I really don't know what

1626
01:12:47,960 --> 01:12:50,200
Speaker 6: to expect. Their offensive line was honestly just starting to

1627
01:12:50,240 --> 01:12:52,720
Speaker 6: improve with Mason Rudolfi quarterback. They've been giving up a

1628
01:12:52,720 --> 01:12:55,200
Speaker 6: lot less sex, but that's because Mason's decisive, he gets

1629
01:12:55,200 --> 01:12:56,720
Speaker 6: the ball out. I want to know if that's going

1630
01:12:56,760 --> 01:12:59,439
Speaker 6: to have an impact a negative impact on the offensive line,

1631
01:12:59,439 --> 01:13:01,080
Speaker 6: because that was kind of the book on Levis. He

1632
01:13:01,120 --> 01:13:03,759
Speaker 6: doesn't feel pressure terribly well. He takes a lot of sacks,

1633
01:13:03,760 --> 01:13:05,479
Speaker 6: he holds onto the ball, he's trying to make the

1634
01:13:05,520 --> 01:13:07,479
Speaker 6: home run play down the field, and then all of

1635
01:13:07,479 --> 01:13:10,479
Speaker 6: a sudden he's got Quinn Williams in his face mask.

1636
01:13:10,520 --> 01:13:12,760
Speaker 6: He's a meme yet again. Are separating his shoulder in

1637
01:13:12,800 --> 01:13:16,000
Speaker 6: Miami or a spraining an ac joint, not separating a shoulder,

1638
01:13:16,439 --> 01:13:19,680
Speaker 6: But it's the expectation is I have no expectations. They

1639
01:13:19,800 --> 01:13:22,400
Speaker 6: just started to figure things out, and now he's dropping

1640
01:13:22,439 --> 01:13:24,120
Speaker 6: back in here as an agent of chaos, and it

1641
01:13:24,240 --> 01:13:25,280
Speaker 6: may nuke the entire play.

1642
01:13:26,640 --> 01:13:28,880
Speaker 3: I ran for chaos that all the time. So as

1643
01:13:28,920 --> 01:13:29,720
Speaker 3: you know by us.

1644
01:13:30,360 --> 01:13:35,160
Speaker 2: Okay, so how do the Titans stop Justin Herbert and

1645
01:13:35,200 --> 01:13:35,799
Speaker 2: the Chargers?

1646
01:13:35,840 --> 01:13:38,320
Speaker 4: Like, is it possible? Is there any hope in your soul?

1647
01:13:39,000 --> 01:13:39,160
Speaker 9: Oh?

1648
01:13:39,200 --> 01:13:41,519
Speaker 6: Yeah, because the defense is good. I mean, the defense

1649
01:13:41,640 --> 01:13:44,439
Speaker 6: is not the issue here. It's a it's a defense

1650
01:13:44,520 --> 01:13:47,479
Speaker 6: of a playoff caliber team, and that's really without getting

1651
01:13:47,479 --> 01:13:50,320
Speaker 6: that much pressure, which has made the thing astonishing this

1652
01:13:50,439 --> 01:13:52,360
Speaker 6: year because they don't have any top tier pass pressures.

1653
01:13:52,400 --> 01:13:54,639
Speaker 6: Jeff Simons is that a busted UCL all year, which

1654
01:13:54,680 --> 01:13:56,920
Speaker 6: is difficult for an interior defensive lineman to deal with.

1655
01:13:56,960 --> 01:13:59,760
Speaker 6: And he's still playing pretty high level ball right now.

1656
01:13:59,800 --> 01:14:01,880
Speaker 6: So I mean, the only the key to beating the

1657
01:14:01,960 --> 01:14:04,160
Speaker 6: Chargers is for will e Us to not turn it over,

1658
01:14:04,240 --> 01:14:07,800
Speaker 6: because he had. At the time that he exited the

1659
01:14:07,920 --> 01:14:10,800
Speaker 6: lineup with this injury, he was leading the NFL for

1660
01:14:10,840 --> 01:14:15,120
Speaker 6: the most individual turnovers. He's got five cutsdowns to seven interceptions.

1661
01:14:15,120 --> 01:14:17,120
Speaker 6: He's got three loss fumbles and some of the ugliest

1662
01:14:17,280 --> 01:14:20,719
Speaker 6: turnover situations that you will see. Given that the maniac

1663
01:14:20,840 --> 01:14:24,080
Speaker 6: moments as we've done them at home are are the

1664
01:14:24,120 --> 01:14:28,280
Speaker 6: primary source or the primary instance where these turnovers are happening.

1665
01:14:28,320 --> 01:14:30,160
Speaker 6: But if they can like clean it up football, they

1666
01:14:30,160 --> 01:14:31,920
Speaker 6: can hang with these teams. They've got the defense in

1667
01:14:31,920 --> 01:14:33,439
Speaker 6: the running game to do it. Tony Pollard's for.

1668
01:14:33,479 --> 01:14:36,560
Speaker 4: The stud Yeah, Buck, you were great. Thank you so

1669
01:14:36,640 --> 01:14:38,760
Speaker 4: much for joining us. We needed that last.

1670
01:14:39,280 --> 01:14:40,120
Speaker 1: We needed that last.

1671
01:14:40,600 --> 01:14:43,000
Speaker 6: I know, I know these things, but it's nice to

1672
01:14:43,040 --> 01:14:44,439
Speaker 6: hear it every once in a while, so I really

1673
01:14:44,439 --> 01:14:44,880
Speaker 6: appreciate it.

1674
01:14:45,080 --> 01:14:48,160
Speaker 3: I certainly don't tell him, Alex, so I do.

1675
01:14:49,320 --> 01:14:51,000
Speaker 4: People that are great when they are You made me laugh.

1676
01:14:51,040 --> 01:14:54,280
Speaker 4: That was awesome. Have a great time out here in

1677
01:14:54,360 --> 01:14:55,720
Speaker 4: LA and thank you so much for joining us.

01:15:19,960 --> 01:15:22,040
Speaker 2: have you last week, so we need an update.

1688
01:15:22,080 --> 01:15:25,320
Speaker 4: How are we doing well? Lead us through this week.

1689
01:15:25,600 --> 01:15:28,880
Speaker 10: Well, with that, I do have the updated stuff of

1690
01:15:29,000 --> 01:15:32,479
Speaker 10: what BO has left me. I thank you, by the way, Bo.

1691
01:15:33,120 --> 01:15:36,880
Speaker 10: And with that, I have both your records with the

1692
01:15:36,920 --> 01:15:39,840
Speaker 10: five games. One of you is five and oh the

1693
01:15:39,920 --> 01:15:43,760
Speaker 10: other one is also pretty commendably four and one's Yeah.

1694
01:15:44,080 --> 01:15:47,120
Speaker 3: It was it was It was close.

1695
01:15:47,360 --> 01:15:48,040
Speaker 1: It was close.

1696
01:15:48,560 --> 01:15:51,280
Speaker 3: It was because I was almost so right.

1697
01:15:51,520 --> 01:15:55,720
Speaker 10: You are, Carmen the Buccaneers yet again, Just do I

1698
01:15:55,840 --> 01:15:56,240
Speaker 10: get it?

1699
01:15:56,560 --> 01:15:57,479
Speaker 3: I get close.

1700
01:15:57,560 --> 01:15:57,960
Speaker 4: Not even that.

1701
01:15:58,200 --> 01:15:59,960
Speaker 5: I really don't think that they matched up really well

1702
01:16:00,800 --> 01:16:03,439
Speaker 5: had they gone. I don't know, like which over side

1703
01:16:03,439 --> 01:16:04,759
Speaker 5: you land on that two point version.

1704
01:16:04,760 --> 01:16:05,719
Speaker 3: I get why you didn't.

1705
01:16:05,760 --> 01:16:07,360
Speaker 5: I get why you try it, like, but trying to

1706
01:16:07,360 --> 01:16:09,880
Speaker 5: win an overtime against that team is a tough bill.

1707
01:16:10,160 --> 01:16:13,439
Speaker 3: But they forced them into overtime. It was so close.

1708
01:16:13,680 --> 01:16:15,679
Speaker 1: I like the moxie. I will continue.

1709
01:16:15,720 --> 01:16:17,320
Speaker 10: I will give you that one on that one the

1710
01:16:18,000 --> 01:16:21,360
Speaker 10: record right now, Alex, you are thirty and nineteen. Carmen,

1711
01:16:21,400 --> 01:16:24,719
Speaker 10: you are twenty five and twenty four, five games below.

1712
01:16:25,080 --> 01:16:27,720
Speaker 10: But fear not, we're still a lot more to go.

1713
01:16:27,760 --> 01:16:29,840
Speaker 10: We're a mid season here, but Alex, you are a

1714
01:16:29,880 --> 01:16:33,200
Speaker 10: fearless leader. Okay, and we are starting off with number

1715
01:16:33,240 --> 01:16:37,519
Speaker 10: one here the forty nine ers are taking on Carmen

1716
01:16:37,800 --> 01:16:41,599
Speaker 10: the Bucks here. Bucks are actually six and a half

1717
01:16:41,680 --> 01:16:47,599
Speaker 10: point favorites at home. Oddly enough, with that said, Alex,

1718
01:16:48,160 --> 01:16:49,080
Speaker 10: take it, take.

1719
01:16:48,920 --> 01:16:51,000
Speaker 4: It away, I'm taking the forty nine ers.

1720
01:16:51,040 --> 01:16:51,200
Speaker 9: Now.

1721
01:16:51,240 --> 01:16:54,160
Speaker 2: The Bucks have been hanging in there, even without their

1722
01:16:54,680 --> 01:16:55,639
Speaker 2: top wide receivers.

1723
01:16:55,680 --> 01:16:58,120
Speaker 4: They've put up a fight the last few weeks, but.

1724
01:17:00,240 --> 01:17:03,160
Speaker 2: They get a little boost of energy with Christian McCaffrey

1725
01:17:03,200 --> 01:17:06,519
Speaker 2: coming back. And as we were talking about earlier, Carmen

1726
01:17:06,560 --> 01:17:09,160
Speaker 2: brought up they've been in this position before where they've

1727
01:17:09,160 --> 01:17:11,280
Speaker 2: had this record and come out of the by and

1728
01:17:11,360 --> 01:17:14,960
Speaker 2: just went absolutely insane. So I'll bank on that and

1729
01:17:15,000 --> 01:17:16,840
Speaker 2: I just the fort nine is going to turn it

1730
01:17:16,880 --> 01:17:19,000
Speaker 2: around if they want to keep their playoff hopes alive,

1731
01:17:20,160 --> 01:17:21,280
Speaker 2: and I do think they're going to.

1732
01:17:21,600 --> 01:17:24,320
Speaker 5: But just just to be you know, I'm picking with

1733
01:17:24,360 --> 01:17:26,280
Speaker 5: my heart. You're right, and I'm picking with my heart,

1734
01:17:26,600 --> 01:17:29,000
Speaker 5: and I'm gonna go to the Bucks day. They've done

1735
01:17:29,000 --> 01:17:31,559
Speaker 5: well against the forty nine ers. Todbles knows what to

1736
01:17:31,600 --> 01:17:34,000
Speaker 5: do against Kyle Shanahan. I do think that they've got

1737
01:17:34,040 --> 01:17:36,479
Speaker 5: a shot here defensively, and I do think a lot

1738
01:17:36,520 --> 01:17:37,600
Speaker 5: of this game that was going to come down to

1739
01:17:37,640 --> 01:17:40,000
Speaker 5: who runs the ball better, because you're going to have

1740
01:17:40,040 --> 01:17:41,919
Speaker 5: the three headed monster in the backfield of the Buccaneers,

1741
01:17:41,920 --> 01:17:43,840
Speaker 5: which needs to get going and wasn't going against the

1742
01:17:43,880 --> 01:17:47,280
Speaker 5: Chiefs last week. But I think they can do that now.

1743
01:17:47,320 --> 01:17:48,400
Speaker 5: And then it's going to be like, what do you

1744
01:17:48,479 --> 01:17:50,360
Speaker 5: do with Christian McCaffrey and Jordan Mason.

1745
01:17:50,439 --> 01:17:50,800
Speaker 3: I don't know.

1746
01:17:50,960 --> 01:17:53,680
Speaker 10: We'll say, well, speaking of picking with your heart and

1747
01:17:53,720 --> 01:17:56,160
Speaker 10: probably picking with or your heart and your.

1748
01:17:56,160 --> 01:17:57,200
Speaker 1: Head will align on this.

1749
01:17:57,600 --> 01:18:00,759
Speaker 10: We have the Broncos taking on the chief Kansas City

1750
01:18:00,840 --> 01:18:03,280
Speaker 10: is home and a seven and a half point favorite.

1751
01:18:03,360 --> 01:18:06,120
Speaker 1: By the way Carmen take it away, I.

1752
01:18:06,040 --> 01:18:07,960
Speaker 5: Wish we were picking against the spread, and honestly, I

1753
01:18:07,960 --> 01:18:09,479
Speaker 5: think we should pick against the fur like every week

1754
01:18:09,520 --> 01:18:12,200
Speaker 5: because I feel like I would be doing so much better.

1755
01:18:12,280 --> 01:18:14,599
Speaker 5: Because I do I would pick the Broncos to cover

1756
01:18:14,680 --> 01:18:18,000
Speaker 5: this game because they've also I just think it would

1757
01:18:18,040 --> 01:18:22,240
Speaker 5: be very quintessential of the AFC West, especially given what

1758
01:18:22,280 --> 01:18:25,000
Speaker 5: happened last year, that the Broncos win this game. Even

1759
01:18:25,040 --> 01:18:27,080
Speaker 5: though it's an arrowhead, I do think they match up

1760
01:18:27,120 --> 01:18:29,679
Speaker 5: really well. But I'm still gonna go with the Chiefs. Yeah,

1761
01:18:29,920 --> 01:18:31,719
Speaker 5: We're going and we're playing straight up but I would.

1762
01:18:31,800 --> 01:18:33,840
Speaker 3: I would. I'm picking the Broncos to cover. Let that

1763
01:18:33,880 --> 01:18:34,240
Speaker 3: be known.

1764
01:18:34,479 --> 01:18:35,759
Speaker 4: No brainer. Chiefs.

1765
01:18:36,240 --> 01:18:38,360
Speaker 2: I mean also with Andy Reeve going up against a

1766
01:18:38,400 --> 01:18:42,960
Speaker 2: rookie quarterback, Chiefs are undefeated. Mahomes and DeAndre Hopkins are rolling.

1767
01:18:43,160 --> 01:18:45,400
Speaker 2: It is a great match for him. So I'm picking

1768
01:18:45,400 --> 01:18:46,000
Speaker 2: the Chiefs, all right.

1769
01:18:46,000 --> 01:18:48,599
Speaker 10: Well, sticking with Roland here, we got the Steelers taking

1770
01:18:48,600 --> 01:18:50,280
Speaker 10: on the Commanders, who are two and a half point

1771
01:18:50,360 --> 01:18:51,120
Speaker 10: favorites at home.

1772
01:18:51,400 --> 01:18:52,320
Speaker 1: Alex, what are we feeling?

1773
01:18:52,360 --> 01:18:56,439
Speaker 2: Yeahmandazon defeated at home and we've been raving about their

1774
01:18:56,439 --> 01:18:59,880
Speaker 2: coaching staff, their quarterback all show. They won all my

1775
01:19:00,080 --> 01:19:02,200
Speaker 2: mid season awards. I can't turn my back on them now.

1776
01:19:02,240 --> 01:19:03,360
Speaker 2: I am going with the Commanders.

1777
01:19:03,439 --> 01:19:04,439
Speaker 3: I'm going with the Steelers.

1778
01:19:06,000 --> 01:19:08,600
Speaker 5: They now have the I don't know that Michaels is

1779
01:19:08,640 --> 01:19:10,840
Speaker 5: gonna play a whole lot, but I do think that

1780
01:19:10,880 --> 01:19:14,360
Speaker 5: this offense is rolling now with Russell Wilson not rolling quite,

1781
01:19:14,400 --> 01:19:17,080
Speaker 5: but they are a defensive first team. That defense is

1782
01:19:17,120 --> 01:19:19,040
Speaker 5: really hard to go against. I think they're gonna give

1783
01:19:19,160 --> 01:19:21,320
Speaker 5: Jane Daniels all he can handle in Washington.

1784
01:19:21,320 --> 01:19:22,639
Speaker 3: I'm going to Steelers, all right, all right?

1785
01:19:22,720 --> 01:19:24,560
Speaker 10: Well, next up, we got the Lions three and a

1786
01:19:24,600 --> 01:19:27,400
Speaker 10: half point favorites on the road taking on the Houston Texans.

1787
01:19:27,400 --> 01:19:29,760
Speaker 3: Carmenal would Phil. I just think the Lions are gonna

1788
01:19:29,760 --> 01:19:30,559
Speaker 3: beat up on the Texans.

1789
01:19:30,560 --> 01:19:32,400
Speaker 5: They're not what we were used to seeing, and I

1790
01:19:32,400 --> 01:19:34,000
Speaker 5: do think that they're gonna get better as the season

1791
01:19:34,040 --> 01:19:36,280
Speaker 5: goes on. But what it comes down to is what

1792
01:19:36,320 --> 01:19:40,599
Speaker 5: Cynthia said. The interior of that Texans offensive line worries

1793
01:19:40,640 --> 01:19:42,200
Speaker 5: the hell out of me when they're going against Alee

1794
01:19:42,280 --> 01:19:44,040
Speaker 5: McNeil and DJ Reader in Detroit.

1795
01:19:44,520 --> 01:19:46,519
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm also taking the Lions. They are too hot

1796
01:19:46,600 --> 01:19:49,720
Speaker 2: right now. Yeah, let's let's get to the last one,

1797
01:19:49,760 --> 01:19:50,439
Speaker 2: our last one.

1798
01:19:50,479 --> 01:19:53,000
Speaker 10: Dolphins on the road taking on the La Ram to

1799
01:19:53,240 --> 01:19:55,599
Speaker 10: turn two point favorite Alex take it away.

1800
01:19:56,120 --> 01:19:57,599
Speaker 4: I'm gonna pick with my heart with this. When I'm

1801
01:19:57,640 --> 01:19:59,559
Speaker 4: going with the Rams. They have both Cooper Cup and

1802
01:19:59,560 --> 01:20:00,400
Speaker 4: book and back.

1803
01:20:00,400 --> 01:20:02,400
Speaker 2: They are coming off a huge ot wind all the

1804
01:20:02,439 --> 01:20:04,400
Speaker 2: way Rams, baby Dolphins.

1805
01:20:04,080 --> 01:20:06,760
Speaker 5: Are much more productive. But that Tyree kill injury, I

1806
01:20:06,800 --> 01:20:08,080
Speaker 5: don't know. I'm going with Rams too.

1807
01:20:08,080 --> 01:20:10,360
Speaker 2: All right, Thank you for spending your Saturday afternoon with us.

1808
01:20:10,439 --> 01:20:12,400
Speaker 2: We'll see you next week, same time, same place,
