Speaker 3: Is week fifteen of the NFL College Football Championship. Weekend
Speaker 3: is gone that we will get into that later in
Speaker 3: the month. Very special guest, the Man, the Myth, the legend,
Speaker 3: John Girl.
Speaker 2: Let's get this man around it?
Speaker 3: Why thank you? Are you kidding me? We were talking
Speaker 3: before the show and we were playing the Jags one
Speaker 3: time and I was like kind of jumping up and
Speaker 3: do a little spin, and you're talking about my enthusiasm
Speaker 3: playing and just hearing you, a legendary coach talk about me,
Speaker 3: It's like one of those like, Hey, holy I don't
Speaker 3: know if it's a lone and he's talking about me.
Speaker 3: Welcome to show how you feel.
Speaker 4: I'm nervous. I'm excited to be with de Landy Walker
Speaker 4: will comp the two of my favorite grinders. Oh yeah,
Speaker 4: they came from nowhere and they exploded onto the scene
Speaker 4: and they sustained fourteen years. I don't know how many
Speaker 4: years he got.
Speaker 3: But we know one knows.
Speaker 4: I'm a big fan of yours.
Speaker 2: You know that. I appreciate it.
Speaker 4: Really honored to be here. Thank you, guys.
Speaker 1: Hey, I got a question, having a big personality like
Speaker 1: Taylor coaching against him, what would be something you'd say about?
Speaker 4: Oh, I'd get in his head. I mean, how many
Speaker 4: offensive linemen act like this? I mean I would know,
Speaker 4: I would know stuff about Luwan that would piss him off.
Speaker 4: In pregame warm up, I would start early and I
Speaker 4: would stay after you. I would distract you big time.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm distractable. I am very distracted.
Speaker 2: You know how many times I say?
Speaker 3: Yeah, One thing you will never be distracted about is
Speaker 3: your choice of beverage you have on a tailgate in
Speaker 3: a pregame, and that is going to be Fireball. The
Speaker 3: Walker was presented by Fireball Whiskey Fireballs back again with
Speaker 3: the perfect party starter for the holidays where you're hanging it,
Speaker 3: slapping it, or pouring it. The non denominational holiday themed
Speaker 3: whiskey stocking is the must you have gift this year.
Speaker 3: It's Lily, a stalking full of fireball you can hang
Speaker 3: on your mantle or toss around the room with friends.
Speaker 3: It's literally a stalking full of fireball that you can
Speaker 3: hang on your mantle or toss around the room with friends.
Speaker 3: It's interesting how they say that two lines back to back,
Speaker 3: and I'm like Ron Burgundy, who will just say the
Speaker 3: line twice? It's so nice you say it twice. But yeah,
Speaker 3: i am. I'm very much was one of those guys.
Speaker 3: It's like, hey, you just talked shit to this guy.
Speaker 3: Trust me, he'll start focusing on you the rest of
Speaker 3: the game. That's how it was.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I remember you dancing between the plays. I mean,
Speaker 4: the band would be playing, a music would be and
Speaker 4: there's an offensive tackle damn into the music.
Speaker 3: You got a hit the facement, you know, it's all.
Speaker 3: You got to get that mobility in there. You got
Speaker 3: to make sure everything's good.
Speaker 5: Always standing, warm, helmet off, always off with it.
Speaker 1: He comes in just hype, meeting delaneing and talking about
Speaker 1: what was that small school Missouri you went to? Just
Speaker 1: knowing everything about him. The dude is an encyclopedia.
Speaker 2: Give me a little game.
Speaker 3: I know Will just did this for me, but I
Speaker 3: want a little game on Will Compton. Delandy Walker start
Speaker 3: with Will. We'll kind of talk about the locker room guy.
Speaker 3: He is what's you're getting as a player in Will Compton.
Speaker 4: Well, Will Compton comes out of Nebraska, doesn't get drafted.
Speaker 4: You know his way up. You got to respect what
Speaker 4: he did in college. He's an all academic guy, so
Speaker 4: you knew he was smart. He wasn't one of these
Speaker 4: dumbasses that can't learn the defense. So he was a
Speaker 4: great communicator, a really good coach on the field, and
Speaker 4: he made plays and he was consistent. He wasn't an
Speaker 4: impact player, but he was a guy that helped our
Speaker 4: defense be as impactful as they could. Everybody was lined up.
Speaker 4: He was a very good tackler. He's become a royal
Speaker 4: pain in the ass to a lot of people. But
Speaker 4: what a pleasure it was to coach him. I could
Speaker 4: count on him, man, dude.
Speaker 3: My first smile during that too. I mean he's here.
Speaker 1: Yeah, as far as me, Well, the time I did
Speaker 1: get the groen Grinder, you do these pre production meetings
Speaker 1: where you sit with him. He's getting to know you
Speaker 1: and then you know he's getting to know your background
Speaker 1: and everything else. So knowing that I got to be
Speaker 1: like a grooen Grinder and then play for him eventually
Speaker 1: because I played for your brother, Jay Gruden. It was
Speaker 1: awesome my first time going into the meeting when he
Speaker 1: introduced me to the team. Because I came in there
Speaker 1: was like six weeks left. I forget, but he was
Speaker 1: he runs a highlight tape. Obviously it didn't last very long,
Speaker 1: but he's running a highlight tape introducing me to the team.
Speaker 1: And the very last play it's it's uh, who is
Speaker 1: that thick running back?
Speaker 2: Could have been a full It was a rip Kowski.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Ripkowski running through my face, got the tackle, got
Speaker 1: to the ground. But the final play on the where everybody' laughing,
Speaker 1: it's a Ripkowski just running through my face As I
Speaker 1: have a falling down tackling him, he's like busting my balls.
Speaker 2: But yeah, it's awful. Yeah, I got him the ground,
Speaker 2: that's all. When I got down there was eight grade hit,
Speaker 2: I got you there.
Speaker 5: Sometimes you got to say stuff like that, Oh.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you guys, say.
Speaker 3: When Will was talking about playing for you, when this
Speaker 3: is what twenty nineteen, when you're when you're over there
Speaker 3: him talking about you putting highlight tapes up of guys,
Speaker 3: Where did you get that from? Because I've never seen
Speaker 3: a coach kind of gas guys up like that before.
Speaker 3: Usually it's you put the bat out there with our
Speaker 3: experience guy like Mike Brable. It's like you put up
Speaker 3: some practice film, like hey, what are we paying for?
Speaker 1: Or you don't or you don't get introduced at all.
Speaker 2: You're coming in you don't know anything, like I knew.
Speaker 1: I knew coach grew just from meeting from the groom
Speaker 1: grinder and then obviously playing for his brother. But you know,
Speaker 1: you're nervous walking in there. And then when he was
Speaker 1: kind of gassing me up, it's like, oh shit, this
Speaker 1: is and all the boys are kind of about it,
Speaker 1: like makes you welcome into the welcome into the team.
Speaker 4: Well, you want to make sure that you get some
Speaker 4: credibility with the guys on your team. I mean, we're
Speaker 4: bringing in Will Compton to be our middle linebacker. He's
Speaker 4: going to play on every down, run the green dot.
Speaker 4: I want the people to see what I saw. This
Speaker 4: guy's a hell of a player. This guy's had some
Speaker 4: great games in this league. He's a fiery sound betch
Speaker 4: I want these players to have some confidence when we
Speaker 4: go out in the practice field and we don't have
Speaker 4: some slaptick coming in here run on our defense. But
Speaker 4: I really appreciated him because he was a coach on
Speaker 4: the field between series. You know, I'm offense, I'm calling plays,
Speaker 4: dealing with these guys. You don't really interact with your
Speaker 4: defensive players much, and it really helps when you got
Speaker 4: some guys that see the big picture like you saw it,
Speaker 4: and it helps you make adjustments during the game, which
Speaker 4: we had to make a lot of adjustments when you
Speaker 4: were playing for us. We had some fires burning.
Speaker 2: Man exciting.
Speaker 3: I'm sup up.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we.
Speaker 3: Do get tough football. Do you want to hit that DraftKings?

Speaker 1: we have the rams at the forty nine ers. Forty
Speaker 1: nine ers are favored by minus two and a half
Speaker 1: the over unders forty nine and a half rams are
Speaker 1: rams are that the NFC bast just feels up in
Speaker 1: there because after a couple of weeks ago when the
Speaker 1: Niners lost in the snow to the Bills, they have
Speaker 1: injuries everywhere.
Speaker 2: You think they're kind of down and like Afrey that.
Speaker 1: Game, Yeah, lose McCaffrey that game, and Bosa he's hurt,
Speaker 1: and it's kind of like, all right, the Niners, aren't
Speaker 1: They kind of had this year like, hey, if they're
Speaker 1: gonna have an opportunity, this last year is gonna be
Speaker 1: it with the band of players that they have there,
Speaker 1: and you kind of counted them out and rode them off.
Speaker 1: And then last week they go, wait, wait wait, Niners
Speaker 1: played last week Bears the Bears. They walked the Bears
Speaker 1: when Caleb Williams was playing well, and they just handled
Speaker 1: the Bear. So it's like you had the Seahawks playing
Speaker 1: the Cardinals. That was a big game for the division.
Speaker 1: You got the Rams playing the Bills that was a
Speaker 1: big game, and both teams are making it interesting for.
Speaker 2: The NFC West right now.
Speaker 1: I think I'm taking the Rams just because I I
Speaker 1: don't know. I feel like the Niners. They'll be hot,
Speaker 1: they'll be very inconsistent, lose a game, win a game,
Speaker 1: lose a game, win a game, and coming off of
Speaker 1: win against the Bears, I'm gonna go I'm rocking with
Speaker 1: the Rams.
Speaker 3: If this was last week, I probably would have done
Speaker 3: the same thing with you. But watching Caleb willum Caleb
Speaker 3: Williams this year and how he's progressed and gotten better
Speaker 3: and better, and then he goes and plays against the
Speaker 3: forty nine Ers, team that's been beat up with a
Speaker 3: guy like Nick Bosa who's not on the field. And
Speaker 3: at one point there was a stat that came up
Speaker 3: in that game. It was two hundred and fifty six
Speaker 3: yards for the San Francisco forty nine Ers to three
Speaker 3: for the Bears. So what that's telling me is coaches
Speaker 3: are in there knowing guys are going down. They're bringing
Speaker 3: in their will, confidence, they're showing them the highlight table,
Speaker 3: and they're making guys know that Listen, we might not
Speaker 3: have the guys that we start the seasons with that
Speaker 3: we knew were going to be impact players for us,
Speaker 3: but what we can do is have eleven guys messing
Speaker 3: around and getting to the ball. When you see a
Speaker 3: team like that do what they did. And also the
Speaker 3: Rams are spicy.
Speaker 2: I mean they beat the Bills. Yeah, beat the Bills
Speaker 2: that Josh Allen six touchdowns.
Speaker 3: These two teams are interesting because the injuries that have
Speaker 3: been sustained, like the forty nine ers are now more
Speaker 3: beat up than ever. When the Rams in the beginning
Speaker 3: of the year, you lose Pooka Nakua for a little bit,
Speaker 3: you lose of tire, offensive line goes out and so
Speaker 3: the Rams kind of become an afterthought in the entire NFL. Now,
Speaker 3: after that winning against the Bills and Josh Allen, who's
Speaker 3: arguably the MVP this year, they're looking they're looking better
Speaker 3: and better. But I love the way the forty nine
Speaker 3: Ers defense is playing on. I think the forty nine
Speaker 3: ers two and a half.
Speaker 2: What do you think, coach?
Speaker 4: I think there's two thoughts for all three of you
Speaker 4: guys to think about. This is a division rivalry, man,
Speaker 4: this is the Rams and the forty nine Ers in
Speaker 4: the same state. Okay, so there is still some of
Speaker 4: that going on, and it's week fifteen, and it's a
Speaker 4: short week. All you guys feel like crap. You're beat up,
Speaker 4: you're pissed off. There's no practices, everything's all walk through,
Speaker 4: just real quick. How did you like third day Night Football,
Speaker 4: Week fifteen?
Speaker 1: Yeah, it wasn't the most enjoyable. The upside is you're
Speaker 1: just doing walkters. We just want to be in that gym.
Speaker 2: That's right. He'd be a rainy day, we'd be in
Speaker 2: a basketball gym doing walter.
Speaker 4: I think you want to say it's going to be
Speaker 4: a high scoring game, because when I watch the Rams
Speaker 4: defense Saquon ran for about four thousand yards against him.
Speaker 4: They gave up forty five points last week the forty
Speaker 4: nine ers. I think their defense is beat up as well.
Speaker 4: But I think it's gonna be a high scoring game.
Speaker 4: But because these teams know each other so well, there's
Speaker 4: so much at stake. I think the players are going
Speaker 4: to be a little bit feeling each other out early.
Speaker 2: But I do look for the.
Speaker 4: Rams to win this game because of those two receivers.
Speaker 4: They're dynamic man and this Puka Nakua, he's a vicious,
Speaker 4: savage man when he starts. Team's been my favorite player
Speaker 4: in the league right now.
Speaker 2: That catch he.
Speaker 3: Had on the sideline was unbelievable.
Speaker 4: And handed the ball five times. He's carrying the ball,
Speaker 4: he looks like a tight end.
Speaker 2: They like, give it, just give it to him. We
Speaker 2: see him on the preiter catching that quick screen on
Speaker 2: the out side. When he goes into scoring, he just
Speaker 2: rips it. He just rips it vertical.
Speaker 4: Don't you feel like every time he has the ball
Speaker 4: he's screening. You feel like he's a tess Mania wild man.
Speaker 4: The hot Yeah, I like the Rams.
Speaker 5: Where you go, I'm actually gonna go with the over
Speaker 5: just like you said, I think it's gonna be a
Speaker 5: taking over.
Speaker 2: I'm taking over away from all games. I'm taking the
Speaker 2: over on rival reason. If West is up in the
Speaker 2: air and you want to just take, you know.
Speaker 5: I can't go against the forty nine ers. Man, you
Speaker 5: know this, don't take them. I'm not taking the forty
Speaker 5: nine Ers right now. They just like he said, they're
Speaker 5: beat up. The Rams are looking good. They got two
Speaker 5: of their best players back. I even think they got
Speaker 5: the running back Williamson back last week. He came back
Speaker 5: and he's gonna be explosive again. It's gonna be hard
Speaker 5: trying to stop these boys when they're motivated being in
Speaker 5: the team like the Bills and the forty nine Ers,
Speaker 5: beating the team like the Bears. It doesn't compare. It
Speaker 5: really doesn't compare. So I really don't I want to
Speaker 5: stay away from the forty nine ers game.
Speaker 2: Even though I like the Rams.
Speaker 3: The Rams, I'm.
Speaker 2: Gonna take the over man, he doesn't want to.
Speaker 5: I'm gonna take over because you got to what.
Speaker 4: That is is.
Speaker 3: They put it in season records this week, and Delaney's
Speaker 3: looking at his right now forty four percent. He's thinking
Speaker 3: to himself, I want to make sure.
Speaker 2: We both forty four percent.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but I'm not worried about my record. I'm not wiring, brother,
Speaker 3: I'm gonna keep going.
Speaker 2: I'm always worried about the word because I win. That's
Speaker 2: what I do.
Speaker 1: According to this year, right.
Speaker 3: This year?
Speaker 2: But last year?
Speaker 4: Where was that we're talking about?
Speaker 2: Like, Hey, that's what last year?
Speaker 3: This time you were probably around forty four percent. We
Speaker 3: still got game because we start hot, I start real hot.
Speaker 3: A couple of twenty percent, you're having to lose the season.
Speaker 3: You're going there, Hey, but that super Bowl run? We
Speaker 3: had that Super Bowl.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I believe it's all about the current.
Speaker 2: I can give it last year. Yeah, I know. I'm
Speaker 2: just letting them knows. He's looking at the record.
Speaker 4: They're all highlighted. Are you putting that on the big screen?
Speaker 3: Walker?
Speaker 4: Forty four percent? Last episode you were thirty one percent?
Speaker 4: But the last episode talk No, I want to take
Speaker 4: the niners.
Speaker 3: The last episode before.
Speaker 2: That, I was sixty percent?
Speaker 3: Was I not?
Speaker 2: You're talking? You're still yeah I am. I always talk
Speaker 2: about the past, baby, I live in the glory days.
Speaker 5: You know, I'm retired, but yeah, I'm gonna take the over, man.
Speaker 2: I gotta. I don't want to. I don't want to
Speaker 2: put it. We got a bad.
Speaker 5: Tasted with the forty nine got No, you know I
Speaker 5: always got balls, A lot of those.
Speaker 3: Just two of those, if you have more than two
Speaker 3: we got.
Speaker 2: I thought you said you like to have like options.
Speaker 4: Last week?
Speaker 2: What all about the bisexual comment?
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I feel like you guys thought about it
Speaker 3: the wrong way, toxic masculine. All right, boys, don't do that.
Speaker 2: I'm trying to.
Speaker 3: I'm trying to be a good impression. This is our
Speaker 3: first time meeting face to face.
Speaker 2: The best impression.
Speaker 3: What's that?

Speaker 2: They keeping proof.
Speaker 3: Georgia Boots got it all right there and it looked
Speaker 3: good too. Game of the Week Will Compton. Once you
Speaker 3: start on soft, it's from the top there.
Speaker 1: I'm going Indianapolis at Denver. Playing in Denver this late
Speaker 1: in the season, it's getting cold. The spread right now
Speaker 1: is minus four, the over unders forty four. I'm a
Speaker 1: bow Leaver. I'm into bow Knicks. I love the progress
Speaker 1: he's made throughout the year. Obviously he started off throwing
Speaker 1: some interceptions. His ratio now is incredible. He's up for
Speaker 1: Offensive Rookie of the Year. I like what they're doing
Speaker 1: on offense, and their defense is vicious, one of the
Speaker 1: best defenses in the league. And I just feel like
Speaker 1: the points here at minus four in Denver, when Denver's
Speaker 1: got a lot to play for. I love this situation.
Speaker 1: And again Indianapolis like their season is pretty much done.
Speaker 1: They're going out to Denver. You hate going out to
Speaker 1: Denver this late in the year. You talk about practices
Speaker 1: like how easier practice is getting out because of the
Speaker 1: wear and tear on guys. You know, as a coach,
Speaker 1: I'm assuming you're really worried about guys conditioning levels, because again,
Speaker 1: if you're gonna do extra work, it's outside of gasers
Speaker 1: just getting on the bike and going out and playing.
Speaker 1: In a place like Denver, in that altitude, I think
Speaker 1: it's going to get to the Indianapols coach.
Speaker 2: So I feel like the Broncos blow them out.
Speaker 3: Oh okay, I thought you're seeing the Colts at first.
Speaker 1: No, I'm all in on Denver. I love what Denver's
Speaker 1: doing right now, and I love the chemistry. It seems
Speaker 1: like in coach you can speak to this. It feels
Speaker 1: like the head coach that quarterback chemistry is so important.
Speaker 1: It feels like they're driving well. And that's why I'm
Speaker 1: all in on Denver. I like Denver a lot.
Speaker 2: I do.
Speaker 3: I think the Broncos that's a huge pick. Like you said,
Speaker 3: the cold season is pretty much over. Going into Mile
Speaker 3: High City is always it paying the ass, especially when
Speaker 3: you get in December, the tans now war off the body.
Speaker 3: You're putting the joggers on instead of the cleats. You're
Speaker 3: you're just slowly getting that like melted snowman. Look for
Speaker 3: all the white pail guys out there grinding it out,
Speaker 3: and then you fly over there. Let me walking up
Speaker 3: the flight of stairs, you know what it's like. You
Speaker 3: walk off that plane, even going down though the blow stairs,
Speaker 3: you're hurting. And so I think there's going to be
Speaker 3: a big one. I love I love the thought of
Speaker 3: process about the head coach and the quarterback Bo troop pro.
Speaker 1: Yeah, what you thought on how they've been, how they've
Speaker 1: been dialed into it the season and then progress that
Speaker 1: bow knicks to rookies made.
Speaker 4: I think Bo's been good. I don't think he's been
Speaker 4: over the top grade. I think he's been good. Courtland
Speaker 4: Sutton has really arrived back onto the scene. He's become
Speaker 4: a go to guy. They can run the ball decent,
Speaker 4: they don't make a lot of big runs. They're a
Speaker 4: ball control offense, low risk where they have really made strides.
Speaker 4: His defense, they were a bad defense two years ago
Speaker 4: and right now they were really rolling until Jamis went
Speaker 4: in there and lit them up. I'm hoping they get
Speaker 4: their moss, their other corner back because they put in
Speaker 4: a guy Levi something he got shredded last week. Yeah,
Speaker 4: they have to be alert for Anthony Richardson to run
Speaker 4: around and throw bombs to this young receiver Pierce. If
Speaker 4: they can stay away from the big plays. I really
Speaker 4: like Denver because of their ball control and their defense.
Speaker 1: Fortunately, they come out of that the Browns game with
Speaker 1: a win. It's like it's one of those kind of
Speaker 1: reset where you can go into the defensive room kind
Speaker 1: of challenging a little bit more, knowing you got to win.
Speaker 2: It's like, hey, this isn't our standards.
Speaker 4: That's right, and they see bow knicks every day in practice.
Speaker 4: Who runs the zone reads keeps it so Anthony Richardson
Speaker 4: won't be a completely foreign offense to him.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Good.
Speaker 4: I think that's gonna really help their preparation.
Speaker 3: For this What is your thought on Anthony Richardson right now?
Speaker 3: Obviously it gets benched at the beginning of the year. Joe,
Speaker 3: they blame Joe Flacco for a bad loss, they put
Speaker 3: him back in. If you're the coach of the Unapolis Colts,
Speaker 3: So how are you talking to Anthony Richardson?
Speaker 4: Anthony? He reminds me of taste some hill of the Saints.
Speaker 4: I mean he's a great runner, he's a competitive freak.
Speaker 4: I mean, this guy's unbelievable. You don't want to defend
Speaker 4: this man in two point plays, New England found out.
Speaker 4: You don't want to defend him in short yardage. But
Speaker 4: passing the ball, throwing the ball to all five eligibles
Speaker 4: in rhythm, He's got a long way to go. This
Speaker 4: is a one dimensional quarterback right now. I don't think
Speaker 4: he has a great feel for the passing part of
Speaker 4: professional football. Yet they have a real challenge, I think
Speaker 4: to get better because of that. And if they shut
Speaker 4: down the run, they're in trouble.
Speaker 3: If you and all your years of coaching, have you
Speaker 3: ever seen a quarterback tapis helmet take a playoff?
Speaker 4: No, I have not. I've never seen an offensive tackle
Speaker 4: do that. I've never seen a quarterback do that. And
Speaker 4: that's something that he'll never live down. But I gotta
Speaker 4: tell you, I'm really respectful for how he's come back
Speaker 4: from adversity and done some really good things.
Speaker 2: For the Colts. Yeah, definitely, Yeah.
Speaker 5: You getting in on the game, are you gonna Yeah,
Speaker 5: I'll definitely take Denver over to Colts for sure, I mean,
Speaker 5: but I love it.
Speaker 2: If you want, that's my game of the week. That's
Speaker 2: my pick. That's my favorite pick of the week, is it? Yeah?
Speaker 2: What do you got?
Speaker 3: My favorite pick of the week is Ravens was fourteen
Speaker 3: and a half against the Giants. I don't know what
Speaker 3: it is this year about me picking massive spreads, but
Speaker 3: it seems like it's kind of working out for me.
Speaker 3: The losses I quickly forget about, but all the wins
Speaker 3: I remember. Giants are not Giants allions. A couple of
Speaker 3: weeks ago, two times in a row they had eight
Speaker 3: and then a thirteen and a half. If you're the
Speaker 3: Giants and you're a blue collar man who works a
Speaker 3: nine to five job as working patchrick to paycheck, and
Speaker 3: you have the audacity to get a Serus one point
Speaker 3: eight two put that thing into the air with a
Speaker 3: sign saying essentially burned down the entire franchise. That cost
Speaker 3: about fifteen hundred dollars. That's a lot of hard work
Speaker 3: you have to put in. So that says what your
Speaker 3: fan base is at when it comes to the Giants.
Speaker 3: They had the veto that was a fun thought process,
Speaker 3: is a fun storyline for the Giants. Italian guy. His
Speaker 3: agents got the cocked Fedora, had the Frank Sinatra look
Speaker 3: and all that. But this, this franchise is in maybe
Speaker 3: the worst state any franchise has ever seen. Like it's
Speaker 3: been in before the Ravens they've there, they have been
Speaker 3: a little more up and down. The thing that's so
Speaker 3: apparent and can he used to be a parent, is
Speaker 3: if Dereck Henry gets over twenty yards, they win the game.
Speaker 3: All the twenty carries, they win the game. If you
Speaker 3: look at his stat sheet, every game he gets under
Speaker 3: twenty carries, he gets under one hundred yards. Every game
Speaker 3: he gets twenty carries or more, you're talking about one
Speaker 3: forty one point fifty multiple touchdowns. Now the Ravens are
Speaker 3: going into a situation where they have three games in
Speaker 3: ten days. It's one of those back to back to
Speaker 3: back type of situations, which personally I liked this late
Speaker 3: in the season because you're so you're just so callous
Speaker 3: and so much in pain. It's like, let's just let's
Speaker 3: motor through the rest of this. It's gonna be interesting
Speaker 3: to see how they handle handle this game when they
Speaker 3: are such heavily high favorites. But if they stay with
Speaker 3: the basics. They stay with Lamar Jackson, him under center
Speaker 3: still thirty three percent of the time for Derrick Henry,
Speaker 3: and they were working that play action pass. I think
Speaker 3: the Ravens will run away with this thing in a
Speaker 3: big way. We're talking about a blowout in the NFL,
Speaker 3: which is crazy.
Speaker 1: Coach Gruden, if you're the head coach of the Ravens,
Speaker 1: what are you worried about going to New York knowing
Speaker 1: that you're this favorite?
Speaker 2: Like Giants are done?
Speaker 4: Probably the first ten minutes of the game. You know,
Speaker 4: let's guard against trickery. Let's make sure we don't give
Speaker 4: up anything cheap. I want our team to come out
Speaker 4: and dominate the first ten minutes. The first two possessions
Speaker 4: on defense, the first two possessions on offense. We got
Speaker 4: to knock this team out. But be alert for trickery.
Speaker 4: Anything goes in the first ten to fifteen minutes of
Speaker 4: this game.
Speaker 2: Are you getting in on this one?
Speaker 4: I'm all over the Ravens. They're coming off of bye week.
Speaker 4: They didn't have their best showing against Philly. I agree
Speaker 4: with Taylor. The Giants are in disarray. They're looking at
Speaker 4: Sakwan down the street. Ex Giant they're looking at Xavier
Speaker 4: McKinney with seven picks, ex giant. They're looking at how
Speaker 4: about Leonard Williams. What he's doing in Seattle? He's kicking
Speaker 4: everybody's asking another ex giant. They just cut Daniel Jones
Speaker 4: for what what? What are we doing here? I think
Speaker 4: that the guy flying around with the airplane probably had
Speaker 4: it right.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna take the under in this one. That's fred.
Speaker 3: We're gonna stop doing numbers in.
Speaker 5: This still taking it under in this So I'm gonna
Speaker 5: take the under forty three on this one. See, we'll
Speaker 5: see how the Ravens show up again. I know the
Speaker 5: Giants is a struggling team, but sometimes I feel like
Speaker 5: good teams play to their opponent's level. So we'll see
Speaker 5: what type of Ravens team we're gonna have out there.
Speaker 3: I mean, you look at the Giants versus Tampa Bay
Speaker 3: a few weeks ago, and Baker Mayfield looked like he
Speaker 3: was Tom Brady out there. The holes that the Giants
Speaker 3: have in that zone defense is just crazy. They were
Speaker 3: running on them, they were throwing on them. It doesn't
Speaker 3: seem like a team that's very fired up, fired up
Speaker 3: playing football on a Sunday afternoon.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm still going to be fired up about I
Speaker 2: see you got your boys for your game of the week.
Speaker 5: Of course, come on now, the.
Speaker 2: Chargers, Chargers.
Speaker 5: The reason why I'm taking the Chargers again. Look, if
Speaker 5: you look at Tampa Bay, they they're plagued with injuries
Speaker 5: right now, they're two star receivers down. Now, who do
Speaker 5: we really have to throw to the big playmakers to
Speaker 5: make them plays down the field when we really need them.
Speaker 5: You saw two weeks ago they needed that and those
Speaker 5: guys was dropping passes. Now you got the Chargers with
Speaker 5: Jim Harball. That's getting those guys fired up. I mean
Speaker 5: you're seeing a whole different team when Jim Marball stepped
Speaker 5: in there. How do you feel about Jim more Ball?
Speaker 2: Oh? I like him.
Speaker 4: I don't like him like you. You played for him.
Speaker 4: I can understand the soapbox you're dancing.
Speaker 5: So I want to go with him because you know
Speaker 5: he got Justin Herbert going. He is a quarterback coach
Speaker 5: that can get quarterbacks fired up, get them going. And
Speaker 5: you're starting to see that happen with Justin Herbert. Don't
Speaker 5: get me wrong, he was a great quarterback in college,
Speaker 5: a great quarterback when he got to the NFL. But
Speaker 5: you starting to see him blossom now again. They don't
Speaker 5: have big threats to catch the ball down the field,
Speaker 5: but he's making it work. You know, he's finding guys
Speaker 5: to get open. You got lad to explosive rookie that's
Speaker 5: out there making plays. And now you got Gus Edward
Speaker 5: because they put JK. Dobbins on a ir but Gus
Speaker 5: Everard is out there still toting the ball, being able
Speaker 5: to run the ball like they like to do with
Speaker 5: Gero offense. So I gotta take the Chargers minus three.
Speaker 5: This is the game of the week for the Chargers
Speaker 5: to be explosive, to keep that winning, to keep on
Speaker 5: track getting to where they want to get to, and
Speaker 5: that's getting into the playoffs. So gotta go with the
Speaker 5: Charges on this one.
Speaker 2: I kind of like the Bucks. I kind of like them.
Speaker 4: Oh he back, Okay, how about Bucky Irby?
Speaker 2: Do you know? I kind of like the Bucks.
Speaker 1: It's like, you know, they have an opportunity to control
Speaker 1: the NFC South, as bad as that as that division is,
Speaker 1: and you know, obviously you're getting counted out going out
Speaker 1: to LA and facing the Chargers very good on defense,
Speaker 1: that you alluded to all their offensive weapons.
Speaker 2: But there's just you know, when you're.
Speaker 1: The underdog team in the league, knowing that you have
Speaker 1: an opportunity to control the division, and then also travel,
Speaker 1: get away from everything and go out to LA and
Speaker 1: beat a team like the Chargers, I just I don't know.
Speaker 1: I like the momentum, I like the chip that they
Speaker 1: have on the shoulder. And again Mike Evans being back,
Speaker 1: that's gonna be.
Speaker 2: Let me give you a stat though.
Speaker 5: So the Buccaneers have entered the game at underdogs seven times,
Speaker 5: they only won twice since they've been the underdogs seven times.
Speaker 2: What a great opportunity to win the third time? Okay,
Speaker 2: the great opportunity.
Speaker 5: And then the Bucks. I mean, the Chargers are eight
Speaker 5: and one as favorites. So you get out some great days,
Speaker 5: go away. You're right, You're right.
Speaker 2: But they playing in LA.
Speaker 5: It's gonna be It's gonna be good LA.
Speaker 2: Right now.
Speaker 5: Look when you first saw the beginning of the season,
Speaker 5: when you went to the LA and watched the Chargers,
Speaker 5: it was empty, I mean empty. No one is in
Speaker 5: the stands. Now you look around, it is packed. It
Speaker 5: is Chargers Kingdom now out there. So you got the
Speaker 5: two mixed La Rams and the Chargers, and they divided right.
Speaker 5: But now everyone is coming to the games watching the
Speaker 5: Chargers because they see what the Chargers is doing this year.
Speaker 4: I don't know.
Speaker 5: I think it's gonna be a big game. I'm excited
Speaker 5: about this one. That's why it's my game of the week.
Speaker 3: We met the Chargers. I like the Chargers, strong defense,
Speaker 3: strong run game. I want to give a shout out
Speaker 3: to Joe Alt, a guy that played left tackle his
Speaker 3: entire career in college. Now he told me at the
Speaker 3: Comedies and I do not want to play right tackle.
Speaker 3: I don't want to go to the Chargers because I'm
Speaker 3: nervous about switching my stands hips on and work a
Speaker 3: certain way. I was the same way too. Can only
Speaker 3: play one position. He's gone. He's gone to the Chargers now.
Speaker 3: Fifth overall, they say, hey, we've got our left tackles
Speaker 3: play right tackle. He works in the offseason, and the
Speaker 3: kids playing really good football, were sustaining the run game,
Speaker 3: doing a great job in pass protection. That offensive line
Speaker 3: of serious business. And when you have those key ingredients,
Speaker 3: it's it's a great time to win against a team
Speaker 3: that's flying across the country. I didn't think across the
Speaker 3: country was that big of a deal. Like you, you
Speaker 3: like to bring it up a lot. But then I
Speaker 3: see the Bills fly the Rams.
Speaker 2: Last week and look what happened there.
Speaker 3: We're happy so and the Bills are a much better
Speaker 3: team on tape last week. So I think I'm definitely
Speaker 3: going Chargers here.
Speaker 2: What's your breakdown on this game?
Speaker 4: You know where I'm from, boys, I'm from Tampa, and
Speaker 4: I'm telling you I've seen the Bucks play the forty
Speaker 4: nine ers. I saw him against the Raiders last week.
Speaker 4: Baker Mayfield played on a GUMPI ankle. He's had an
Speaker 4: unbelievable year. Mike Evans is healthy.
Speaker 2: Yeah, thirty straight.
Speaker 4: One thousand yard seasons. The Bucks are playing for the
Speaker 4: NFC South title. The Chargers are scrambling right now. The
Speaker 4: Ravens beat him, the Chiefs beat him. They have no firepower.
Speaker 4: Mconkee didn't play last week. Qwenton Johnson. What routes does
Speaker 4: he run? They don't have a passing game, and you
Speaker 4: can say Gus Edwards and Gus Edwards he ain't no JK. Dobbins.
Speaker 4: The Buccaneers have two guys on defense. Cancy, former first
Speaker 4: round picket Pitt. He's coming alive, man, and they got
Speaker 4: a guy inside who will whoop your ass. Vita Vaya.
Speaker 4: He tried buying me that, David. He is a pros pro.
Speaker 4: He figures it out. I just look for Tampa to
Speaker 4: win this game. Somehow, some way. It's gonna be held
Speaker 4: of a game. But I've seen your stats. I'm going
Speaker 4: against the lady Walker. I've taken Tampa.
Speaker 3: From now in every game we pick. I'm gonna wait
Speaker 3: till after Coach Cruden talks. He talks like, Yeah, the
Speaker 3: Bucks do kind of good right now, don't they.
Speaker 4: You've seen Bucky Irving play though the rookie they have, Yeah,
Speaker 4: they've got He's like a combination of Charlie Garner, Napoleon
Speaker 4: Coff and guys I've been around, only he might be better.
Speaker 4: He's a he's a hell of a receiver. He's he's
Speaker 4: got impact playmaking ability. He did not play a against
Speaker 4: the Raiders very much last week. If he plays, he's
Speaker 4: a dominant player again.
Speaker 2: Mike Evans back and Baker Mayfield man.
Speaker 3: This the run he sprung against the Giants like ten
Speaker 3: minutes thirty seconds left in the entire game. The fourth
Speaker 3: quarter and Bucky starts running up the middle, and then
Speaker 3: all of a sudden, Baker Mayfield comes the pictures blocking
Speaker 3: thirty yards downfield. That's a quarterback you can get behind
Speaker 3: as always can get behind. Fireball the ball z Pro
Speaker 3: picked up the Week is sponsored by Fireball. Fireball is
Speaker 3: a perfect shot for game Bay. Whether you're buying those
Speaker 3: sneaky little shooters before going to the stadium, We're going
Speaker 3: big with a Fireball keg for your tailgate. Whether it's
Speaker 3: a pregame shot, a tailgate lot, or a salvatory touchdown
Speaker 3: shot at the bar. No matter what, it's guaranteed to
Speaker 3: turn up your game day balls.
Speaker 2: Pick of the Week, go ahead, De Lanny Ballsy.
Speaker 4: Pick of the week Man.
Speaker 5: Okay, look what y'all see on that paper?
Speaker 4: I changed that.
Speaker 2: That was ridiculous.
Speaker 5: I don't know what I was thinking when I did that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the paper says you got Saints upset that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that is ridiculous, ridiculous.
Speaker 5: I did not see the text message at that time,
Speaker 5: and I took Taylor's and then they say, hey, you
Speaker 5: want to switch it, And I just threw one out there.
Speaker 2: But I switched it to the Dolphins.
Speaker 4: Versus the Texans.
Speaker 5: I'm taking the Dolphins obviously money line. While I'm taking
Speaker 5: the Dolphins too. The concussion is gone. My man head
Speaker 5: is back. He's not seeing stars for now, but you
Speaker 5: can see he's sliding. He's getting down when he needs
Speaker 5: to get down. He's not taking those shots, the Mextra
Speaker 5: shots that you know, we all know that he used
Speaker 5: to take. So seeing those boys get on fire, you
Speaker 5: got Tyreek, you got Waddle. John ou Smith is coming
Speaker 5: to live making big plays.
Speaker 2: He can't.
Speaker 5: He had that game winning touchdown last week. A man,
Speaker 5: I just think those boys is firing. The defense is
Speaker 5: looking good. This is a game I feel like they
Speaker 5: can get against the Texans. Game you had the Titans
Speaker 5: beat the Texans. I think Miami is a way better
Speaker 5: team than the Titans. So I gotta go with the
Speaker 5: Dolphins plus three money line and I may just take
Speaker 5: that over as well.
Speaker 2: Your thoughts on the Texans. They had the year that
Speaker 2: they had last year.
Speaker 1: They're riding either picked to kind of win the day,
Speaker 1: possibly being the AFC Championship, possibly be in the Super Bowl.
Speaker 4: Yeah, preseason, you know, preseason darlings, after the acquisitions they made.
Speaker 4: But something's wrong with their offensive line. You should know
Speaker 4: better than anybody. These are well known high picks. They
Speaker 4: got a lot of money in that offensive line. They
Speaker 4: can't pick up a blitz, they don't pick up twists.
Speaker 4: The quarterback has been hit a lot. Stroud has not
Speaker 4: played well. I love their running back, Joe Mixon has
Speaker 4: come over there and been great, but they have really
Speaker 4: been hit or miss on offense. I'm really disappointed in
Speaker 4: their past protection and their defense, missing some linebackers. They've
Speaker 4: been chaotic over there. I like the Dolphins in this game.
Speaker 4: The conditions are going to be perfect, and I have
Speaker 4: nightmares a Tyreek Hill that's some bits put scars on me.
Speaker 4: He can and Wattle's coming alive. The guy that's it's
Speaker 4: hard to stop is a little running back from Texas
Speaker 4: A and m eight chance. He's a freak man in
Speaker 4: the running game, in the passing game. I just look
Speaker 4: for Miami to go down into this dome and rip them.
Speaker 3: I wasn't gonna take the Texans, but no.
Speaker 2: Dolphins, No, no, I mean I like the Dolphin. I
Speaker 2: like the Dolphin.
Speaker 3: Jonas Smith he's got three he's got three receptions in overtime,
Speaker 3: obviously gets the overtime touchdown.
Speaker 2: In the game.
Speaker 3: Two is coming alive, I think.
Speaker 1: And what do you like too about two is when
Speaker 1: they're asking about the concussions and getting down and everything else,
Speaker 1: like he takes all of the accountability and responsibility for that.
Speaker 1: And when you see that from your quarterback, like in
Speaker 1: the locker room and everything else, and the way he
Speaker 1: carries himself, like it's just a guy you can get behind.
Speaker 4: Let me tell you one thing about Miami. All the
Speaker 4: films we sit and study back in Tampa, I don't
Speaker 4: see anybody playing offense like Miami. I can't even draw
Speaker 4: the I don't even know what these plays are. I
Speaker 4: don't know if there are RPOs or what. But the
Speaker 4: ball comes out so fast. I don't care who you
Speaker 4: have on the d line the ball. The ball's coming
Speaker 4: out before the rush can get there. And this kid
Speaker 4: has the quickest release. I think half the time he
Speaker 4: throws it without the laces. The ball is out quicker
Speaker 4: than you can say dolphin. It's accurate, and they're averaging
Speaker 4: almost twenty eight points a game since two. It came back.
Speaker 4: And when you put them in perfect condition in a
Speaker 4: dome like this on a fast track with Tyreek Hill
Speaker 4: and Waddle good God.
Speaker 2: I love it. I like I'm gonna save yours because
Speaker 2: I love you.
Speaker 4: Guys are easily impressed.
Speaker 3: Easily impressed.
Speaker 4: I mean I can bullshit you guys into walking right
Speaker 4: through the freaking tunnel here.
Speaker 3: Yeah, dude, Oh you let me run through a wallway,
Speaker 3: especially because I've done a lot of games.
Speaker 2: Just got motor we're buying.
Speaker 3: And you attached coach to her name. Obviously all of
Speaker 3: our brains just recently.
Speaker 2: Do it.
Speaker 1: I'm taking the Seahawks money line. They're hosting the Packers
Speaker 1: this week. The spread right now is Packers favored by
Speaker 1: two and a half. I just the Seahawks have been
Speaker 1: four to no since the bye week, and you when
Speaker 1: you're going to that bye week, they dropped some games.
Speaker 1: And there's two different types of teams that come out
Speaker 1: of the bye week, and they're both in the NFC
Speaker 1: West Division. You got the Cardinals that came out of
Speaker 1: by week and they've lost every game since the bye week.
Speaker 1: And then you got the Seattle Seahawks who came out
Speaker 1: of the bye week and they've won every game. Because
Speaker 1: there's a there's this idea of when you get to
Speaker 1: the bye week, you see it as a reward and opportunity,
Speaker 1: and the Seahawks have taken it as an opportunity. I
Speaker 1: feel like they're humming right now. They're clicking all the offense.
Speaker 1: Their defense is starting to come alive with with McDonald
Speaker 1: being the head coach.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 2: I just I like them at home against the Packers,
Speaker 2: and Packers are gonna be a good team late.
Speaker 1: That whole NFC North with the Vikings, Packers and Lions
Speaker 1: is gonna be awesome. But I like the Sea. I
Speaker 1: like Seattle right now, they're taking they're trying to take
Speaker 1: control of the division. When you look at whooping the
Speaker 1: Cardinals ass, you're kind of hoping the Bills take care
Speaker 1: of business against the Rams. That helps solidify them more.
Speaker 1: They're in a race right now with the Rams. And
Speaker 1: I like I like Seattle. I like Seattle money line.
Speaker 2: I talk you into that one.
Speaker 4: I like your take on that. I really like Green
Speaker 4: Bay because I coached there. I got feelings, you know,
Speaker 4: I got tashing for the Packers. But playing in Seattle,
Speaker 4: that's a long trip. You feel like you're flying to Tokyo.
Speaker 4: It's weird, man, it's loud. It's gonna be in packed
Speaker 4: well for the offensive line, Josh Jacobs, though, is you
Speaker 4: gotta admit been a hell of a player for Green
Speaker 4: the league. I think this is gonna be a tight game,
Speaker 4: one of the favorite games I've had all year to watch.
Speaker 4: I can't wait, But I'm gonna take the Seattle Seahawks
Speaker 4: at home in a real tight game.
Speaker 2: Anybody.
Speaker 5: I like the Packers. They barely lost to the Lions
Speaker 5: three points. I mean, I think the Package is a
Speaker 5: tough team to beat, right they are.
Speaker 2: I mean they got they got guys at every position, and.
Speaker 3: North is that division lose so close to the lines,
Speaker 3: So I think it is the most complete team in.
Speaker 4: All three phases.
Speaker 3: Josh Jacobs, great running game, Jordan Love great quarterback. And
Speaker 3: then Matt Lafleur. Love Matt la to his creativity and
Speaker 3: play calling, his situational awareness when it comes to four minute,
Speaker 3: two minutes, some of those situations we're getting off the
Speaker 3: field fast for field goals. Like he understands every piece
Speaker 3: of the game, and you can tell that as players
Speaker 3: understand every piece of the game too. Not taken with
Speaker 3: anything from the Seahawks. I love to take that their
Speaker 3: foe Noos is the bye week. I love. I love
Speaker 3: the fact that the Seahawks are playing in Seattle, because
Speaker 3: that's that's a very difficult place to twelve man. Just
Speaker 3: something about the Packers, man, something about the frozen tungs
Speaker 3: in trouble anywhere.
Speaker 2: Right, they travel anywhere they look good. I kind of
Speaker 2: like the Packers there.
Speaker 3: My ballsy pick of the week is going to be
Speaker 3: the Steelers money line versus the Eagles. We had Wallow
Speaker 3: and Gillian, are you familiar with million dollars with a game?
Speaker 4: A little bit?
Speaker 3: Okay? So Gilly comes on. That man smokes more weavy
Speaker 3: than Snoop dogg himself, more than Willie Nelson himself. He
Speaker 3: hot bocks the entire bus. I'm sure when you walk
Speaker 3: and you might have to contact tie a little bit.
Speaker 3: But this man is such a passionate Philly fan, And
Speaker 3: I love how passionate Philly fans are in general. They're
Speaker 3: nasty people. They are blue collar nasty people. They'll say
Speaker 3: all the craziest things. So I feel a little scared
Speaker 3: taking this pick. But Mike Toman is forty one twenty
Speaker 3: eight and one. When he is an underdog on the
Speaker 3: road in his career, we talk about culture guys. We
Speaker 3: talk about guy that will pull a pouncy brother off
Speaker 3: the field that we're making a big mistake and getting
Speaker 3: a flag with everything on the line, and we'll going
Speaker 3: to grab a guy like that and look in the
Speaker 3: eyes and says it's bigger than you. This team is
Speaker 3: bigger than you, and him say nothing more than yes, sir,
Speaker 3: and go back to the bench. That is the leader
Speaker 3: of men, Mike Tomlin, Russell Wilson. I've publicly apologized to
Speaker 3: him because I was saying some nasty things about Russell Wilson.
Speaker 3: He seems to be doing a lot better. Arthur Smith,
Speaker 3: who I feel like has brought up every single week
Speaker 3: on the show, great guy, friend of the show, great
Speaker 3: play caller, understands the passion of mixing the run game
Speaker 3: with the past game. And then also TJ Watt two
Speaker 3: sacks in the last three games. He went over last
Speaker 3: week and then two weeks ago went oh for again.
Speaker 3: I'm feeling like he's getting a little hungry right now.
Speaker 3: We will go out there and eat a little bit.
Speaker 3: I got the Steelers money line.
Speaker 1: I love the pick and Steeers are a great football team.
Speaker 1: But I also feel like there's some drama starting to
Speaker 1: leak in to the Philadelphia Eagles.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, it's coming he J Brown.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you see, you saw You see the clips when
Speaker 1: he's open, when it hurts, eyes are on him. Hey
Speaker 1: rip the ball, just cut it loose. You see the
Speaker 1: postgame presser where AJ just simply says he said, yeah,
Speaker 1: he's just keeping it very short. And then you got
Speaker 1: Brandon Graham going on a radio show. He's on ir
Speaker 1: right talking about the situation.
Speaker 2: Oh my god. Those are the things late in the
Speaker 2: year you do not want to see.
Speaker 5: Especial when your record is as good as it is.
Speaker 1: They're the team that you look at against, like the Lions,
Speaker 1: the physical team you don't want to get if you're
Speaker 1: close to at halftime. They're gonna run away with in
Speaker 1: the second half because they out physical you.
Speaker 2: But just that drama that starts to seep in and
Speaker 2: go on.
Speaker 1: I don't like it, And I think that's the big
Speaker 1: storyline for me of why I would like to take
Speaker 1: the Dealers this week.
Speaker 3: If Mike Tomlin is the head coach of the Eagles.
Speaker 3: I'm not taking anything away from Sirianni. I just think
Speaker 3: Mike has done. You see the characters, the personalities that
Speaker 3: he's had to deal with in the past, AJ being
Speaker 3: able to play with AJ Brown. He is obviously an
Speaker 3: elite talent. He's incredible wide elite competitors.
Speaker 2: Rock.
Speaker 3: He wants the rock. You got to get him the
Speaker 3: ball early and often, whether it's a bubble screen, quick slant,
Speaker 3: something like that. Make the man happy, because the happier
Speaker 3: he is, the more he's gonna go off. I think that.
Speaker 3: I mean, if you're the Eagles, as you're thinking your
Speaker 3: first fifteen players, those fifteen players that you feel best
Speaker 3: about going into a game, you know more than half
Speaker 3: of those gotta be Yeah.
Speaker 2: How are you handling that situation?
Speaker 1: Knowing that that postgame presser came out with AJ, Brandon
Speaker 1: Graham's talking in the media like how are you going
Speaker 1: about this week?
Speaker 2: Trying to get back on tracking usiness.
Speaker 4: I wasn't as sensitive as you guys. I mean, I
Speaker 4: don't give a shit who's complaining about the ball. I'm
Speaker 4: worried about winning the game. There you go, and everybody
Speaker 4: needs to get in a huddle in Philadelphia and we
Speaker 4: need to introduce all of you guys to the star.
Speaker 4: His name is Saquon Barkley and the films I have
Speaker 4: just so you know, the offensive line this. Makai Beckton
Speaker 4: playing right guard. He's three hundred and fifty pounds. He
Speaker 4: almost killed an La Ram on the second level. I
Speaker 4: really have the Philadelphia Eagles getting the boot and sticking
Speaker 4: it up Pittsburgh's ass in this game. They are physical
Speaker 4: on the line. Man, but Ki Becton Dickerson at left guard,
Speaker 4: Sakwon Barkley's chasing Eric Dickerson's all time single season rushing record.
Speaker 4: Man AJ Brown just stand over there, and as soon
Speaker 4: as they come into the eight man fronts and start
Speaker 4: playing single high coverage, just be patient. We're gonna get
Speaker 4: you the ball. That's what I'm telling to Aj. Just
Speaker 4: be patient. One of the reasons Saquan is ripping people
Speaker 4: is people are scared the death of Devonte Smith and
Speaker 4: AJ Brown. We're trying to win a super Bowl here, Compton.
Speaker 4: We're not trying to win a radio show ratings contest,
Speaker 4: you know. I mean the Miami Dolphins went undefeated. Just
Speaker 4: so you guys are all on the same page. How
Speaker 4: many catches did Paul Warfield have for the Dolphins? He
Speaker 4: led their team in receiving on a perfect team twenty
Speaker 4: nine catches. He had the whole freaking year so let's
Speaker 4: win the Super Bowl, get our ring, and then you
Speaker 4: guys can enter the transfer portal at the end of
Speaker 4: the year. You know what I mean, that's the message.
Speaker 4: I think Philadelphia. Shit, we got the Pittsburgh Steelers. They're
Speaker 4: owing their last ten coming to Philadelphia. They go into Philly, man,
Speaker 4: you better check yourself before you wreck yourself. These Billy fans,
Speaker 4: the environment they've created there, it's exciting. I'm going with
Speaker 4: the Eagles in this game.
Speaker 6: If you had a wide receiver bitching about not getting
Speaker 6: the ball in every running throw rocks at me.
Speaker 4: Everybody wants the ball. You want guys that want the ball.
Speaker 4: But you know, Hell's bells. I watch every channel in
Speaker 4: the hotel. Everybody's talking about a j Brown. I'm like,
Speaker 4: you think they're on thirteen?
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, exactly like that starts to get in you.
Speaker 3: I want you to tall. You brought him with Kai
Speaker 3: back down, so he was the first round pick from
Speaker 3: went to the Jets and then widely considered a bust
Speaker 3: in the NFL, comes over to the Eagles. Now you're
Speaker 3: talking to him throwing guys into the rafters at the Rams.
Speaker 3: What do you think is different for him and the
Speaker 3: Eagles that it was the Jets. I think it's an
Speaker 3: answer two things. I think he's playing guard. He's inside,
Speaker 3: he's playing guard. He's playing next to Lane Johnson. And
Speaker 3: he's got the best line coach in.
Speaker 4: The league arguably. Jeff Stoutland is a hell of a
Speaker 4: line coach. And you know, as well as anybody if
Speaker 4: you have a great line coach that prepares you in
Speaker 4: the meeting room, the individual drills, the team drills. They
Speaker 4: put a guy that you're going to have to block.
Speaker 4: They show you the looks and the kind of rushers
Speaker 4: you're going to see, the counter moves. They get into
Speaker 4: your head, they get into your body, they motivate you.
Speaker 4: Stoutland's unbelievable, you know. And I go back to Barkley. Now,
Speaker 4: this guy here is benefiting from Stoutland's offensive line, his coaching,
Speaker 4: and the targets, the threats they have on the outside.
Speaker 4: And don't forget Jalen Hurts. He's got thirteen rushing touchdowns.
Speaker 4: They only throw the ball twenty five times a game.
Speaker 4: You know why, because they don't have to throw it.
Speaker 4: They could take a boot stick it right up your ass.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I would love to play for that offense.
Speaker 2: Tis.
Speaker 3: Yes, you was stress free life. No oh yeah you
Speaker 3: you know.
Speaker 7: Not you They gonna find ways and give me the ball,
Speaker 7: but I damn twenty five times I'm blocking the whole.
Speaker 3: Yeah you're not.
Speaker 2: But you're winning.
Speaker 3: Super Bowl, super Bowl, Ye win super Bowl that record.

Speaker 3: best week of mine.
Speaker 2: You like the Browns over the Chiefs.
Speaker 4: The Chiefs haven't won a game by more than four
Speaker 4: points all year.
Speaker 2: It's cold as hell.
Speaker 3: I think the Chiefs. The Chiefs obviously end up winning
Speaker 3: it somehow, some way.
Speaker 4: They cover something like Jameis Winston. Doesn't he wake up
Speaker 4: when this ship is totally stacked against him? That's what
Speaker 4: he snowing outside that horrible will win.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know what, I hope they fucking do you know?
Speaker 2: I mean the Chiefs have dropped some games.
Speaker 3: Unless you say the better I know, I don't even
Speaker 3: speak because Will is slowly so. Will has had e
Speaker 3: been dead against the Chiefs for two years now, lost
Speaker 3: two super Bowls they once and they're gonna lose the
Speaker 3: AFC West. They're gonna go the Super Bowl. They've won
Speaker 3: two times in a year, two times in a row. Now,
Speaker 3: it's like, hey, Will, if you just don't speak on
Speaker 3: the Chiefs, they might lose yours will come Thiscis. You're
Speaker 3: willing the Chiefs and do a dynasty right now? And
Speaker 3: it's tough.
Speaker 1: Are all on Chiefs. We're going Bills. They're gonna be
Speaker 1: the one seed. Chiefs won't get all the home time.
Speaker 4: Have you seen the left tackle for the Chiefs? Seriously
Speaker 4: tell me about them. I mean it's bad. They had
Speaker 4: the rookie playing over there. Then they put Morris in there.
Speaker 4: Now they got DJ Humphreys. Humphreys gets hurt. I think
Speaker 4: Miles Garrett, Miles Garrett at home on a shitty day
Speaker 4: in a cold weather, he could get three or four sacks.
Speaker 2: Let's go.
Speaker 3: The Nashville man himself, David Boktiari, bring him back in
Speaker 3: the fold.
Speaker 4: Is he ready to play?
Speaker 3: He's ready to play.
Speaker 2: Do you think he gets uh?
Speaker 4: If Andy Reid got him for the stretch?
Speaker 3: God, I think. I mean, I've seen black. He looks good.
Speaker 3: I've seen the boy moving around a little bit. That
Speaker 3: changed direction, looks nice. I think he can go.
Speaker 4: If you were smart, you'd hit the weights and get
Speaker 4: your butt back in there.
Speaker 2: For a month.
Speaker 3: That could be a good blocking time for a month,
Speaker 3: for a month of what going to Super Bowl?
Speaker 2: Run?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Only, Yeah, go to a team that's broken.
Speaker 1: Man.

Speaker 4: Pro every year, almost Brown great, one of the great
Speaker 4: Detroit Lions, every nine Pro Bowls, ten Pro Bowls. We
Speaker 4: signed them in Tampa the year we won the Super Bowl.
Speaker 4: He had a little gray in his beard, you know,
Speaker 4: But when you needed somebody to go in, you know,
Speaker 4: for a series. Here go block that guy for It's
Speaker 4: great to have a veteran tackle that's been there and
Speaker 4: done it.
Speaker 2: You know, David your ten.
Speaker 3: My life is over, my NFL life. I'm to be
Speaker 3: sitting here with you right now.
Speaker 4: Stress for you.
