Speaker 1: like a two number one overall picks? Just hucking it?

20
00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:21,160

Speaker 1: and one Joe Burrow with a Thursday Night Crew. Joe,

24
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:35,760
Speaker 1: shoot us straight now? Is this the team different from

25
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:39,240
Speaker 1: last year? Let us know. You know, we're a completely

26
00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:41,800
Speaker 1: different team from last year. We would have folded under

27
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:44,480
Speaker 1: the pressure tonight if this game was last year. And

28
00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:46,280
Speaker 1: I'm just so proud of our guys. Why do you

29
00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:49,120
Speaker 1: believe last year you guys would have folded under pressure

30
00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:52,160
Speaker 1: and this year you did. Really the culture in the

31
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:54,920
Speaker 1: locker room. Zach does a great job of preaching every day,

32
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:57,480
Speaker 1: having a connected team, and we brought in some great

33
00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:00,440
Speaker 1: free agents that you know are really really hard workers

34
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:03,640
Speaker 1: and from winning teams that have come in and really

35
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:07,680
Speaker 1: taught us how to win. Big night for Cincinnati. Happy

36
00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 1: wearing by Joe Burrows sweatshirt LFG. Thank you for sending

37
00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:13,360
Speaker 1: this to me LFT since they get to three and

38
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:15,600
Speaker 1: one Straights, I like that. Burrows talking about Zach Taylor,

39
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:17,360
Speaker 1: I asked you about him, the influence he's had over

40
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:19,280
Speaker 1: these past couple of seasons and what he's done to

41
00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:22,120
Speaker 1: turn around a team and now a fan base that

42
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:24,160
Speaker 1: is genuinely so excited about what's ahead. What did you

43
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:27,320
Speaker 1: take away from this big primetime comeback when, Yeah, this

44
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:29,840
Speaker 1: team is resilient and they have now had two different

45
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:31,720
Speaker 1: games that are down fourteen points so they end up

46
00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:34,960
Speaker 1: being the victors in them down twenty one points at

47
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:37,639
Speaker 1: the half. Teams have lost one hundred and four straight

48
00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:41,040
Speaker 1: games when you're down by fourteen at the half. The

49
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:43,720
Speaker 1: last sixty five games, it's been four and sixty one.

50
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:45,760
Speaker 1: Will they get five and sixty one? They've found a way.

51
00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:49,240
Speaker 1: They are living dangerously in these games, but they are

52
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:52,040
Speaker 1: winning these games, and Zach Taylor is putting the faith

53
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:54,320
Speaker 1: in both the offense and the defense, say we can

54
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:56,280
Speaker 1: do it, and once they make those stops, the catalyst

55
00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:58,880
Speaker 1: has been started. I'm excited about the Bengals. It's been

56
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:01,880
Speaker 1: forever since they don't They've always had teams that were relevant.

57
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:05,000
Speaker 1: Now they're fun, and they're playing strong and in these

58
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:07,640
Speaker 1: fourth and one situations, they are finding ways to not

59
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:09,880
Speaker 1: only turn the ties with them to win these games.

60
00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:12,400
Speaker 1: They're no longer your lovable losers. The Bengals are here.

61
00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:14,240
Speaker 1: Are you excited for them? Are you willing to say

62
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:16,640
Speaker 1: anything else? Are we just excited and we're watching it

63
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:18,600
Speaker 1: as it goes? Or do we look at them as

64
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:21,799
Speaker 1: AFC North sort of like are we if we're other

65
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:24,320
Speaker 1: teams in the AFC North, are we nervous about them? Hell?

66
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:27,440
Speaker 1: Yeah you are? Yeah? I think so. The quarterback was moving,

67
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:29,320
Speaker 1: they look good, and they're three and one in a

68
00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:32,680
Speaker 1: division where Steelers we're not sure, and then Browns and Ravens.

69
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:35,560
Speaker 1: It's not an easy out anymore. Like I was always like, Okay,

70
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:37,520
Speaker 1: we got the bay, Yeah, we'll see it. What do

71
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:39,720
Speaker 1: you think? You know what? I think that the big

72
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:42,720
Speaker 1: turning point in this game was really coming out at halftime,

73
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:45,440
Speaker 1: right when Joe Burrow came out. They're down fourteen nothing.

74
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:47,880
Speaker 1: We always talk about shifting the momentum at the end

75
00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:49,920
Speaker 1: of that half in the first half, right they take

76
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:51,640
Speaker 1: the knee or and then they also try to do

77
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:53,480
Speaker 1: the quarterback sneak. But they come right out in the

78
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:55,920
Speaker 1: third quarter to start and he hits Jamar Chase down

79
00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:59,200
Speaker 1: the sideline on a perfect throw and that really changed

80
00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:01,160
Speaker 1: the field position. And then he comes back two plays

81
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:04,640
Speaker 1: later on the boot and hits Usman and now he

82
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:07,120
Speaker 1: takes it in. Well, that gives that team confidence. Right,

83
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:09,360
Speaker 1: it's now fourteen seven. Now you're putting the pressure back

84
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:12,800
Speaker 1: on Jacksonville. And it was incredible to watch Joe Burrow

85
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 1: in this offense and how he was able to orchestrate

86
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:17,920
Speaker 1: this offense throughout the second half. Right they went down.

87
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:21,599
Speaker 1: They scored on every possession of the second half, touchdown, touchdown, touchdown,

88
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:23,719
Speaker 1: field goal. And that's what they needed because in the

89
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:26,799
Speaker 1: first half they were dormant. Right, they had four first downs.

90
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:28,839
Speaker 1: The entire first second they had the ball, they barely

91
00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:30,640
Speaker 1: had the ball. They had four first downs, They couldn't

92
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:33,800
Speaker 1: get anything going and they're behind. So they needed that

93
00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:36,200
Speaker 1: momentum shift right there, and Joe Burrow was able to

94
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:37,880
Speaker 1: step up with some big time throws in a great

95
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:39,840
Speaker 1: possession for them, in that throw to Chase just like

96
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:41,880
Speaker 1: exactly what they You felt at tension come out of

97
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:44,120
Speaker 1: the stadium at the time, and look, you hear we're

98
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:46,240
Speaker 1: gonna change the culture. We're gonna change this, change this.

99
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:48,719
Speaker 1: Sometimes it's more than a win that you need to

100
00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:51,120
Speaker 1: do that. It's Friday. Let's bring in a good morning football.

101
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:54,200
Speaker 1: We do a segment now every week where we pick

102
00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:56,039
Speaker 1: one team we think is going to win, it's a

103
00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:58,560
Speaker 1: survival segment. It's competitive we want to do. We can

104
00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:02,320
Speaker 1: pick anybody. We were up there doing it yesterday, and

105
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:04,279
Speaker 1: this is the team of all the teams league that

106
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:08,600
Speaker 1: I picked. I'm going to go in prime time and

107
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:13,640
Speaker 1: take these Cincinnati Bengals tonight at home tonight against the

108
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:17,279
Speaker 1: winless Jaguars. I am going in. They lose to the

109
00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:19,919
Speaker 1: Bears a couple of weeks ago, they're home, they're in

110
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:24,000
Speaker 1: prime time showcase games. So I will go Bengals one

111
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:28,200
Speaker 1: more time, Week four survival. So this is why I

112
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:30,799
Speaker 1: bring this up, because the Bengals get down fourteen nothing

113
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:34,240
Speaker 1: and everyone is coming out saying, you're an idiot. Don't

114
00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:36,560
Speaker 1: you know these are the Bengals. Never count on the Bengals,

115
00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:39,719
Speaker 1: Never trust the Bengals. Don't you know about the Bengals

116
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:42,120
Speaker 1: in prime time? And I'm like, I think I do.

117
00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:44,159
Speaker 1: I know they lost some primetime games. I don't know

118
00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:46,400
Speaker 1: if you do know this nine and twenty four, and

119
00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:48,280
Speaker 1: that's after a win. By the way, the second worst

120
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:51,119
Speaker 1: is Jacksonville. How many times have you seen an Andy

121
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:54,400
Speaker 1: Dalton team or any other Bengals quarterback out in prime time.

122
00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:57,960
Speaker 1: When there's excitement in their home, there all goes out

123
00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:00,280
Speaker 1: of the balloons. So when people were sending me of

124
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:02,800
Speaker 1: Jeff Prokes putting torches out and stuff like that, the

125
00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:05,760
Speaker 1: Bengals saw them and said, screw you, guys, this is

126
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:08,360
Speaker 1: not the same Bengals team. Sometimes you need something else

127
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:11,120
Speaker 1: other than wins. Do change it. A primetime win when

128
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:13,800
Speaker 1: everybody gave up on you was a massive, massive thing,

129
00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:16,159
Speaker 1: huge night for the Bengals. And now, of course local

130
00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:19,960
Speaker 1: Wilson did this thing. Ten tackles, one sack, has got

131
00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:23,520
Speaker 1: three interceptions as a breakout season for the young linebacker

132
00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:25,760
Speaker 1: out of Waomi, who I love and I'll find dandy.

133
00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:28,200
Speaker 1: But now this team, Matt is sitting at three and one,

134
00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:30,680
Speaker 1: and they're not only first in the AFC North, there

135
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:34,159
Speaker 1: second second place in the AFC overall. I know they're

136
00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:37,200
Speaker 1: probably not going to stay there. I'm not an actual idiot,

137
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:39,440
Speaker 1: but I want to ask you if you think that

138
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:42,200
Speaker 1: you could see them as a contender for the playoffs.

139
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:44,680
Speaker 1: In the playoffs, I definitely think that this team, as

140
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:46,840
Speaker 1: long as they continue to progress and continue to get

141
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:49,120
Speaker 1: better with the leadership with Joe Burrow, the young talent

142
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:51,440
Speaker 1: that they have on the outside, the defense is playing better.

143
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:54,480
Speaker 1: I mean, this is definitely a team that could potentially

144
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:56,000
Speaker 1: be in the playoffs this year. What do you need

145
00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:57,560
Speaker 1: to see from them? Like? What should I be looking for?

146
00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:01,560
Speaker 1: I'm your family in Cincinnati. I've embraced this team. I

147
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:03,120
Speaker 1: really liked them. I really like the fan base. They're

148
00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:05,600
Speaker 1: genuinely excited. They're happy with what they're seeing, and I

149
00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:07,320
Speaker 1: think they deserve it after so many years of being

150
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:09,720
Speaker 1: at the bottom. What do I need to be looking

151
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:11,480
Speaker 1: for these next couple of weeks. Well, I think for

152
00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:14,240
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow, he's playing so well. And I said this

153
00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:16,600
Speaker 1: to you earlier, right, I was like, this kid really

154
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:20,720
Speaker 1: continues to impress. A great story. It's right, it's he's

155
00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:23,800
Speaker 1: an outstanding quarterback. He delivers the ball, he knows where

156
00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:26,720
Speaker 1: his matchups are, he looks very good and comfortable in

157
00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:29,280
Speaker 1: this Zach Taylor offense. And then not only that, but

158
00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:31,880
Speaker 1: his ability to get outside the pocket and create plays

159
00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:35,080
Speaker 1: when needed. But he he's the guy that's going to

160
00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:37,920
Speaker 1: be able to catapult this team forward and continue to

161
00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:39,920
Speaker 1: push them to the next level because they're going to

162
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:41,800
Speaker 1: go as he goes. Right. If he goes and shows

163
00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:43,560
Speaker 1: up like he did in the second half last night

164
00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:47,160
Speaker 1: and continues to utilize those weapons, they're going to continue

165
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:49,320
Speaker 1: to get score points. And then it's just a matter

166
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:51,440
Speaker 1: of whether or not this defense can hold off these

167
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:56,480
Speaker 1: opponents long enough and keep them to a minimum. Jacksonville

168
00:07:56,520 --> 00:08:02,720
Speaker 1: now lost nineteen string games going yes as Monks Church. Ever,

169
00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:05,480
Speaker 1: this game last night, like this is when losing teams

170
00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:08,240
Speaker 1: find ways to lose. When you're up fourteen nothing at

171
00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:10,480
Speaker 1: the half and a field goal makes at seventeen points

172
00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:11,960
Speaker 1: and you can go in there with a three score lead,

173
00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:13,960
Speaker 1: try to get cute, you go for it, you don't

174
00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:16,920
Speaker 1: get it. Finding ways to lose is something that losing.

175
00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:19,080
Speaker 1: This is what Trevor Lawrences up agains him. Because Trever

176
00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:23,040
Speaker 1: Lawrence last night looked really good, incredible throws. But this

177
00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:24,560
Speaker 1: is what it is as a rookie quarterback going to

178
00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:26,640
Speaker 1: the worst team. And let's talk about those Jags with

179
00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:29,920
Speaker 1: Ian Rapp Report or NFL Network insider joining this morning headlines,

180
00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:31,560
Speaker 1: you've got highlights if we will set you guys up

181
00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:34,280
Speaker 1: for a Sunday slate of action. But Jaguars wide receiver

182
00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:36,360
Speaker 1: DJ Chark was carted off the field last night in

183
00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:38,080
Speaker 1: the first half of this one, what is the latest

184
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:40,280
Speaker 1: with him? And then hey, will we have you? How

185
00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:43,360
Speaker 1: about you figure out a couple quarterback situations for me

186
00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:46,240
Speaker 1: Ravens very specifically, go for it. Well, we'll start with

187
00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:49,280
Speaker 1: the unfortunate situations running. DJ Chark one of the best

188
00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:51,360
Speaker 1: players on the jag. We're a young, up and coming

189
00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:54,560
Speaker 1: receiver in a contract year. He is expected to be

190
00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:57,840
Speaker 1: now out for this season. He suffered a fractured ankle

191
00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:01,640
Speaker 1: last night. My understanding is surgery is the most likely

192
00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:04,760
Speaker 1: option for a Shark that should happen sooner rather than

193
00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:07,760
Speaker 1: later and then out indefinitely. You're seeing got rolled up

194
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:10,800
Speaker 1: right there, carted off. We knew immediately it was serious,

195
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:13,720
Speaker 1: didn't quite know how serious until a little bit afterward.

196
00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:17,920
Speaker 1: Devastating injury for DJ Chark there. Meanwhile, in some other

197
00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:21,280
Speaker 1: newstance you mentioned the quarterbacks. Lamar Jackson did not practice

198
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:23,880
Speaker 1: yesterday for the Baltimore Ravens. A little bit of a surprise,

199
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:26,960
Speaker 1: just dealing with what offensive coordinator Greg Roman called a

200
00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:30,520
Speaker 1: flare up of a back injury, described to me on

201
00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:34,760
Speaker 1: Wednesday as general soreness, nothing much to worry about, nothing alarming,

202
00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:38,480
Speaker 1: I would expect Lamar Jackson back at practice today for

203
00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:41,000
Speaker 1: the Baltimore Ravens, then to play on Sunday. No one

204
00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:43,480
Speaker 1: I've talked to his alarm at all, so this should

205
00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:45,720
Speaker 1: be fine. I just giving Lamar a little extra rest

206
00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:49,360
Speaker 1: considering how much work he does on Sundays. And then,

207
00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:53,240
Speaker 1: of course, the intriguing quarterback situation these Chicago Bears. They

208
00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:56,360
Speaker 1: still have not yet named they started, nor has any

209
00:09:56,480 --> 00:09:59,680
Speaker 1: quarterback spoke in the media yet. That should happen today,

210
00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:02,760
Speaker 1: I would expect some sort of announcement of decision from

211
00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:05,320
Speaker 1: the Bears. Is it going to be Andy Dalton back

212
00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:07,400
Speaker 1: at practice the last two days still trying to come

213
00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:09,600
Speaker 1: back from a bone bruise. Would be a little quick

214
00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:12,360
Speaker 1: for him to come back, so, though still theoretically possible,

215
00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:14,319
Speaker 1: the fact that these practice has been good, is it

216
00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:17,640
Speaker 1: justin fields still badding a hand injury or even third

217
00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:20,840
Speaker 1: stringer and former Super Bowl MVP Nick Foles all in

218
00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:23,800
Speaker 1: the conversation for the Bears, all in the mix, maybe

219
00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:26,120
Speaker 1: gives them some sort of competitive advantageship to prepare for

220
00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:28,960
Speaker 1: two three quarterbacks on Sunday, But die see thank you

221
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:31,199
Speaker 1: so much. Ian Week four is officially kicked off as

222
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:33,240
Speaker 1: a great say that games coming to us on Sunday, Well,

223
00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:34,720
Speaker 1: here's what we're going to do. Break them down with

224
00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:38,760
Speaker 1: something we call a mad minuto sixty seconds on the clock.

225
00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:41,199
Speaker 1: You three share those sixty seconds about twenty seconds a

226
00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:44,080
Speaker 1: pop here, Matt Castle and start with an NFC North showdown.

227
00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:47,040
Speaker 1: Lions going to Soldier Field to take on dub Bears.

228
00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:49,440
Speaker 1: What is you Shriggs excited about this one? How do

229
00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:51,920
Speaker 1: these two teams respond to those two losses? Two of

230
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:55,520
Speaker 1: the worst losses you could ever the Lions losing heartbreaking

231
00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:57,400
Speaker 1: fashion on a fourth and nineteen, then at the lay

232
00:10:57,400 --> 00:10:59,679
Speaker 1: a game that wasn't called, then a sixty seven yard

233
00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:02,640
Speaker 1: field and the Bears have maybe the worst offensive game

234
00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:04,640
Speaker 1: in Bears history, which is saying a lot considering Bears

235
00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:07,640
Speaker 1: offensive history. Yeah. Uh, this one might be six to three,

236
00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:09,520
Speaker 1: it might be seven to four. I don't know two

237
00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:12,200
Speaker 1: safeties this. I just want to see what team responds.

238
00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:13,720
Speaker 1: And Dan Campbell, I have a feeling can get those

239
00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:15,400
Speaker 1: guys who ron through a wall right to me? It's

240
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:18,040
Speaker 1: who's gonna be put playing quarterback for the Chicago Bears.

241
00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:21,199
Speaker 1: Is Justin Field's gonna get another opportunity or is it

242
00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:23,559
Speaker 1: gonna be Andy Dalton? I mean I don't know, well,

243
00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:27,040
Speaker 1: I mean pretty quick, right, and so I'm interested to

244
00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:29,400
Speaker 1: see who's gonna be out there and how they perform

245
00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:33,080
Speaker 1: with the offense puttering right now, troubling times in Chicago.

246
00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:36,120
Speaker 1: It's it's it's strange, it's scary. The game is in

247
00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:39,040
Speaker 1: still Holdier Field. If they come out and it is

248
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:41,199
Speaker 1: fields and he gets sacked on the first play, like

249
00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:43,360
Speaker 1: there's gonna be torches being lit. There's this also this

250
00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:46,640
Speaker 1: subtext going on where the Bears appear to be maybe

251
00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:49,520
Speaker 1: making moves to leave Soldier Field, and the city is

252
00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:51,600
Speaker 1: furious about it, like they may have to leave that

253
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:53,199
Speaker 1: stadium because the Bears fans are gonna purn into the

254
00:11:53,240 --> 00:12:00,439
Speaker 1: ground lions and win this game. Of course, the Bears

255
00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:02,959
Speaker 1: have won five of the Bears have won five of

256
00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:06,120
Speaker 1: their last six against the lines. All right, undefeated Panthers

257
00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:08,760
Speaker 1: taken on the Cowboys are look, there's good and guards.

258
00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:10,280
Speaker 1: What are we looking for in this one? Matt kick

259
00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:12,000
Speaker 1: it off? You know what? I like this game And

260
00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:14,320
Speaker 1: the thing that I'm actually looking forward to watching in

261
00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:16,720
Speaker 1: this game is how Sam Donald does against a defense

262
00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:19,480
Speaker 1: that has eight takeaways on the season. They have the

263
00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:22,079
Speaker 1: NFL lead, but only that. Sam Donald's done a tremendous

264
00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:24,800
Speaker 1: job this season of taking care of the football. He's

265
00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:27,400
Speaker 1: done great in the Joe Brady system. So can he

266
00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:30,640
Speaker 1: keep that going? And can this offense be have the production?

267
00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:32,720
Speaker 1: Because we know that their defense is pretty good? Yeah?

268
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:34,880
Speaker 1: Are the Cowboys a great team? Like? Just are they

269
00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:37,400
Speaker 1: a top five team? I think a super Bowl winning team?

270
00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:39,640
Speaker 1: Or are they just really good? We know they're really good.

271
00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:42,000
Speaker 1: This is one of those weeks where, like, I think

272
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:43,600
Speaker 1: the Cowboys might be able to win the super Bowl

273
00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:45,960
Speaker 1: this year. This is a prestige piece, Peter. It's like

274
00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:48,280
Speaker 1: we're still have a little buy in that we're holding back.

275
00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:50,360
Speaker 1: I know they're really good. They might be great at Yeah,

276
00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:53,000
Speaker 1: and the defense that everyone's talking about is the Panthers

277
00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:54,640
Speaker 1: defense right now, But I don't think they've faced an

278
00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:56,440
Speaker 1: offense like the Cowboys. To your point, this is a

279
00:12:56,440 --> 00:12:58,199
Speaker 1: really good Panthers defense, their first in the league in

280
00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:00,679
Speaker 1: yards against their second league points again, and you here

281
00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:02,520
Speaker 1: come the Cowboys. I could see Dallas putting up forty

282
00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:05,080
Speaker 1: because that offense is so darn good. Cowboys might be

283
00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:07,120
Speaker 1: onto something, right, Carl and I love the Panthers. I

284
00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:08,920
Speaker 1: love what they're doing. This one might be too big

285
00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:11,520
Speaker 1: for them. Darnald not afraid of the Cowboys, lots of

286
00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:14,360
Speaker 1: success against the Cowboys they've met once before. Twenty nineteen,

287
00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:16,760
Speaker 1: Darnald threw for three hundred and thirty eight yards and

288
00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:19,040
Speaker 1: two touchdowns, leading the Jets to a twenty four to

289
00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:23,040
Speaker 1: twenty two victory over America's team. The Brothers got the Browns.

290
00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:25,880
Speaker 1: The Brothers, they head up north to face the up

291
00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:28,400
Speaker 1: against the Vikings in Minnesota. Matt Castle's telling me in

292
00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:30,160
Speaker 1: a commercial break, looking at the slate, this will be

293
00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:32,199
Speaker 1: a great game between these two, Kyle. What are you

294
00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:33,960
Speaker 1: looking for between the Browns and the Vikings? A lot

295
00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:37,360
Speaker 1: of things. The Vikings are the best bad record team

296
00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:39,200
Speaker 1: in the NFC. If the Chiefs have that in the FC,

297
00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:42,160
Speaker 1: it's the Vikings again. A ridiculous missed field goal that

298
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:43,600
Speaker 1: was a chip shot that would have them at two

299
00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:45,520
Speaker 1: and one instead of one and two. Cousins is playing

300
00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:47,440
Speaker 1: as good as any quarterback in the league. And no

301
00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:50,440
Speaker 1: one's discussing the Browns destroying the Bears because it's all

302
00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:52,920
Speaker 1: justin fields. And who's Matt Naggie starting? So two teams

303
00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:54,800
Speaker 1: We don't have a lot of shine on them right now,

304
00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:56,400
Speaker 1: and whoever comes out of this is in good shape.

305
00:13:56,480 --> 00:13:59,719
Speaker 1: Stefanski worked fourteen years for the Vikings and he had

306
00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:03,080
Speaker 1: different titles in six different years working with Zimmer. He

307
00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:05,800
Speaker 1: knows that defensive personnel inside and out. He knows exactly

308
00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:08,160
Speaker 1: what they've got on their team. He knows all the secrets,

309
00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:09,400
Speaker 1: and he's not going to be scared to come and

310
00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:11,400
Speaker 1: bring his team to Minnesota. I like the Browns. I

311
00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:13,280
Speaker 1: like the Browns big in this one. Yeah, And I'm

312
00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:14,920
Speaker 1: kind of with you on that with the Browns big,

313
00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:17,520
Speaker 1: because I don't know if the Minnesota Vikings defense can

314
00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:20,400
Speaker 1: stop that two headed monster of Nick Chubb and Kareem

315
00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:22,400
Speaker 1: Hunt and what they're able to do the play action

316
00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:25,080
Speaker 1: set up, and I know is defans. He is like

317
00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:28,240
Speaker 1: he was with me when I was there in Minnesota.

318
00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:32,080
Speaker 1: He's a great coach, incredible, but he also he's a

319
00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:34,440
Speaker 1: great play caller. And so I mean, all in all,

320
00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:35,760
Speaker 1: I think the Browns are going to go and get

321
00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:38,520
Speaker 1: after we makes so great. You know what he's got.

322
00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:42,120
Speaker 1: He's very intuitive, he relates to players, and he's a

323
00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:44,120
Speaker 1: great teacher as well. And he spent his time. He

324
00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:46,400
Speaker 1: spend his time not only as a quarterback coach, tight

325
00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:48,440
Speaker 1: ends coach. He's in the running back room. He's even

326
00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:50,200
Speaker 1: in the front office, like as an assistant for a

327
00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:53,840
Speaker 1: little while. So he understands the entirety of an organization

328
00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:56,120
Speaker 1: and I think that's why he has such a good

329
00:14:56,520 --> 00:14:59,400
Speaker 1: grip on what they're doing with that organization. In the Browns,

330
00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:02,160
Speaker 1: Good Wild. The Browns have beaten the Vikings just once

331
00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:04,920
Speaker 1: over the last thirty years, just once. Any guesses on

332
00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:07,000
Speaker 1: who the quarterback was of the Browns and that one

333
00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:14,160
Speaker 1: Kelly Browns were twenty thirteen thirteen Charlie Fry twenty thirteen

334
00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:19,000
Speaker 1: Derek Anderson Bretty by Quinn, You're the destroyer o game

335
00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:22,280
Speaker 1: running touchdowns to Jordan Cameron with just fifty one second. Cameron,

336
00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:26,200
Speaker 1: you single way off. Our next guest, a big game

337
00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:29,840
Speaker 1: in New England on Sunday, the host of NBC's Football

339
00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:45,560
Speaker 1: a little bit. Yeah, one of the most anticipated games

340
00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:47,800
Speaker 1: in recent NFL history. Let's welcome back one of our

341
00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:49,880

Speaker 1: friend of the show. I'm gonna see shretch everybody, Mat

Speaker 1: Kyle Kay, good morning guys, gonna be with you. K

345
00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:02,760
Speaker 1: What a great week game in South Bench for a

346
00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:05,960
Speaker 1: Notre Dame game on Saturday, a Top ten matchup with Cincinnati,

347
00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:07,920
Speaker 1: and then gets going to Foxborough on Sunday. Life is

348
00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:10,520
Speaker 1: way too good. Life is good. And you have covered

349
00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:14,720
Speaker 1: Bill and Brady for so long. And I know NBC

350
00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:18,520
Speaker 1: already had the Adele Hello trailer last week. I have

351
00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:21,720
Speaker 1: to imagine wall to wall coverage when they're bringing Mike

352
00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:24,400
Speaker 1: Tarrico to Foxboro. This is big deal. What do we

353
00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:26,920
Speaker 1: got from NBC this weekend. Yeah, there's a bunch of

354
00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:29,160
Speaker 1: good stuff in the hopper, looking back and looking ahead.

355
00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:31,400
Speaker 1: And I think one of the bigger things is we're

356
00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:34,280
Speaker 1: gonna be on the air live from the stadium, Me,

357
00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:38,320
Speaker 1: Tony Dungee, Drew Brees, Rodney Harrison, Jack Collinsworth. So our

358
00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:41,440
Speaker 1: pregame show, usually in the studio, usually highlight heavy, is

359
00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:44,080
Speaker 1: gonna be there to capture all of that and then

360
00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:46,840
Speaker 1: some as the game goes right up to kick off

361
00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:49,520
Speaker 1: without Chris and Michelle just a little bit after eight fifteen.

362
00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:51,720
Speaker 1: So we're gonna have the show on the road so

363
00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:54,240
Speaker 1: people can see that, because really, what's the game starts

364
00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:56,880
Speaker 1: the nostalgia, it tends to wane, the build up, the

365
00:16:57,000 --> 00:16:58,800
Speaker 1: reaction when he comes out there. We want to make

366
00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:00,920
Speaker 1: sure everybody sees it. So it's rare that you get

367
00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:02,520
Speaker 1: that for a week four game, but we're going to

368
00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:04,480
Speaker 1: give it to the folks on Sunday night. I love it.

369
00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:06,200
Speaker 1: I don't get to go to games anymore, but I

370
00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:07,880
Speaker 1: will be there for that one. So make a little

371
00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:09,439
Speaker 1: a couple of seconds to say hi to me, Mike

372
00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:11,520
Speaker 1: Terrika out there. Yea, lest there. Let's talk about the

373
00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:14,440
Speaker 1: football part of this matchup is, of course, you know,

374
00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:16,760
Speaker 1: seven times Super Bowl champion Tom Brady against one of

375
00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:19,160
Speaker 1: the greatest defensive minds of all time in Bill Belichick.

376
00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:22,480
Speaker 1: We've been talking about it for fifteen hours this week.

377
00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:25,560
Speaker 1: Who has the advantage in your opinion in this twenty

378
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:29,560
Speaker 1: year relationship. Well, what I love about this k is, look,

379
00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:32,480
Speaker 1: both sides know each other, so well, who's got a

380
00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:36,199
Speaker 1: better what bothers Brady list than Belichick? And who's got

381
00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:39,399
Speaker 1: a better what does Belichick like to do? List than Brady?

382
00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:43,080
Speaker 1: So these two are also two of the strongest mental

383
00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:46,359
Speaker 1: characters in the game, right, and they think about everything

384
00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:50,800
Speaker 1: all the time. Who zigs and zags more than they

385
00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:53,400
Speaker 1: have shown so far. I think that as we're going

386
00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:56,480
Speaker 1: through this is fascinating me. Well, you know somebody so well,

387
00:17:56,920 --> 00:17:59,159
Speaker 1: sometimes you try to do what you don't love to

388
00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:01,080
Speaker 1: do just so they don't get a beat on you.

389
00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:03,800
Speaker 1: I'll be fascinated to see how that plays out. Let's

390
00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:07,080
Speaker 1: be honest, people wise, Tom's got the better team, He's

391
00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:09,560
Speaker 1: got the better people. But if you can mess up

392
00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:11,280
Speaker 1: a quarterback match there, you know, you can mess up

393
00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:13,920
Speaker 1: a quarterback a little bit, you can stay in a game,

394
00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:16,200
Speaker 1: and I'm sure that's the plan for the Patriots. So

395
00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:19,040
Speaker 1: who has the advantage. I don't think either one does,

396
00:18:19,119 --> 00:18:21,000
Speaker 1: to be really honest, when you break it all down

397
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:23,360
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, it's really well said Mike.

398
00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:25,760
Speaker 1: I think the NBC has the advantage. Let's talk about

399
00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:27,720
Speaker 1: the cards that you guys are holding right now. So

400
00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:30,440
Speaker 1: not only do you get the Brady return to Foxborough,

401
00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:33,800
Speaker 1: you're going to get Brady breaking the all time passing record,

402
00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:36,119
Speaker 1: and you're going to get it as the gentleman he

403
00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:39,119
Speaker 1: passes is standing right next you, working with you and

404
00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:43,120
Speaker 1: Drew Brees. It's all coming together, Mike. We know Drew

405
00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:45,679
Speaker 1: is as classy as they come, but he's as competitive

406
00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:47,600
Speaker 1: as they come. How do you think he's gonna feel

407
00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:50,600
Speaker 1: when Brady inevitably passes his record. I don't know if

408
00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:52,000
Speaker 1: he's going to run back out on the field and

409
00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:53,760
Speaker 1: see if he can throw a couple to the Patriots

410
00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:58,040
Speaker 1: to keep his records as you go through. You know,

411
00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:00,920
Speaker 1: it's been interesting to watch Drew as he's gone through

412
00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:03,159
Speaker 1: the Notre Dame games with me and Football Night with

413
00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:06,040
Speaker 1: me and Tony in the game during the year. I

414
00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:09,760
Speaker 1: think he's at peace with the decision to walk away

415
00:19:09,840 --> 00:19:12,400
Speaker 1: when he did. I think he felt like his football

416
00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:16,160
Speaker 1: career had been disappointing at the end because they felt

417
00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:18,200
Speaker 1: in the last couple of years, New Orleans had a chance,

418
00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:20,320
Speaker 1: got to the raw end of a couple of calls

419
00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:23,200
Speaker 1: down the stretch of key games in the playoffs, lose

420
00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:24,840
Speaker 1: to Brady and the Bucks at home last year, as

421
00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:29,359
Speaker 1: we know in the divisional But I think Drew's accomplishments

422
00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:31,960
Speaker 1: stand forever, and the fact that Tom is going to

423
00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:35,359
Speaker 1: just pass this last one here is an inevitable type

424
00:19:35,359 --> 00:19:37,000
Speaker 1: of thing, but it will be pretty I don't think

425
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:39,280
Speaker 1: I've ever stood up. No, I can guarantee this. I've

426
00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:41,360
Speaker 1: never been standing next to the guy when the all

427
00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:43,879
Speaker 1: time NFL passing record has been broken. So at some

428
00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:45,880
Speaker 1: point in the first half when that happens, I'm gonna

429
00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:47,359
Speaker 1: make sure that I'm standing next to Drew and I

430
00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:49,679
Speaker 1: can go how do you feel? But what's your reaction?

431
00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:52,960
Speaker 1: And see that first half for sure, But there's so

432
00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:55,160
Speaker 1: much respect there with those guys. We saw that. Remember

433
00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:57,440
Speaker 1: that video at the end of the playoffs game with

434
00:19:57,680 --> 00:19:59,800
Speaker 1: Tom talking to Drew on the field of the Superdome.

435
00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:01,920
Speaker 1: That's one of the coolest pieces of video with the

436
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:05,840
Speaker 1: kids and all that. There's such a respective between the

437
00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:08,320
Speaker 1: two of them. And I'm sure you're allowed that from

438
00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:10,880
Speaker 1: true other night. Yeah, Mike, Mike, we know that you're

439
00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:13,719
Speaker 1: in South Bend right now for tomorrow's game Notre Dame Cincinnati,

440
00:20:14,119 --> 00:20:16,320
Speaker 1: and you know you are one of the best play

441
00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:18,879
Speaker 1: by play guys in the business. I always love listening

442
00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:21,320
Speaker 1: to you and this year with Drew Brees now in

443
00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:24,440
Speaker 1: the booth as your game analyst and all that stuff.

444
00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:27,240
Speaker 1: Wanted to know other than you know, maybe recommending a

445
00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:32,879
Speaker 1: new barber firm because that I also wanted to know

446
00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:37,160
Speaker 1: how helped him transition, you know, into the broadcast booth.

447
00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:40,160
Speaker 1: And also, you know in Football Night in America, you've

448
00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:42,200
Speaker 1: been drinking for that Kyle Brand coffee in the morning.

449
00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:47,200
Speaker 1: You're bringing it a castle like I'm just it's fighting

450
00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:50,680
Speaker 1: Irish coffee. That's what they call it. Mike, that's you

451
00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:53,200
Speaker 1: gotta Kyle. You're exactly right, Matt. You know what's cool

452
00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:56,800
Speaker 1: is and I got the great fortune of getting a

453
00:20:56,960 --> 00:20:59,720
Speaker 1: doctorate in football, sitting next to John Gruden for seven

454
00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:03,000
Speaker 1: years and learning so much stuff. And now it's watching

455
00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:06,600
Speaker 1: film Withdrew and watching him watch a game and pick

456
00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:10,000
Speaker 1: up stuff. And you know, for anybody who's out there

457
00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:13,919
Speaker 1: calling games, you have so many options when the game's

458
00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:15,760
Speaker 1: going on. And for Drew to sit up at the

459
00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:18,200
Speaker 1: fifty yard line and watch a game in addition to

460
00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:20,240
Speaker 1: all the monitors we have, is something brand new. So

461
00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:22,440
Speaker 1: it's been kind of fun to watch him not just

462
00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:26,120
Speaker 1: do that, but also learned college football and the schemes

463
00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:28,119
Speaker 1: and all that stuff. To see him get really excited

464
00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:31,080
Speaker 1: about what noted name does on offense, what Cincinnati does

465
00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:33,720
Speaker 1: on offense. It's one of the most enjoyable things for

466
00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:37,640
Speaker 1: me too. You have this knowledge of calling games over

467
00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:39,680
Speaker 1: the years a thirty something years now for me, I

468
00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:41,760
Speaker 1: can help Drew learn the TV part. But at the

469
00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:43,919
Speaker 1: same time, you're getting the education in football from one

470
00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:46,240
Speaker 1: of the best of all times. So to sit next

471
00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:47,960
Speaker 1: to two Hall of famers on the set on Sunday

472
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:50,480
Speaker 1: nights with Tony and Drew Brees that hour is fun,

473
00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:52,560
Speaker 1: but the best of the six hours watching all the

474
00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:55,080
Speaker 1: NFL games at once and hearing from two guys who've

475
00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:57,960
Speaker 1: been there and done it, what's really going on behind

476
00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:01,359
Speaker 1: the scenes, what leads to plays, and it just is

477
00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:03,600
Speaker 1: one of the joys of this job to take people

478
00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:05,720
Speaker 1: like you who lived it and for us to kind

479
00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:09,320
Speaker 1: of sponge off of your legacy and knowledge to share

480
00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:12,320
Speaker 1: the information with the fans. It's well sad, mister Tarico.

481
00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:14,200
Speaker 1: You mentioned Gruden. Let's talk about you and Gruden. I

482
00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:16,399
Speaker 1: think it was seven years you spent together on Monday

483
00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:19,120
Speaker 1: Night football. The Raiders want to start for them? Three

484
00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:20,959
Speaker 1: and oh this season, how much credit do you think

485
00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:23,640
Speaker 1: Gruden should receive for the raiders best start in nearly

486
00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:26,000
Speaker 1: two decades? Oh? My man, gets all of it. K

487
00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:30,119
Speaker 1: Come on, they played fourteen quarters in fourteen days, right.

488
00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:33,399
Speaker 1: I mean they played a fifth quarter twice yere in

489
00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:35,760
Speaker 1: the first couple of weeks of the season. Boy, John's

490
00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:38,879
Speaker 1: got You can see John's teams play with his spirit

491
00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:41,840
Speaker 1: and his fight. He never gives up on a game ever,

492
00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:45,000
Speaker 1: and you can hear it as you hear Carr talk. Now,

493
00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:47,399
Speaker 1: Derek's starting to sound a lot like John, which just

494
00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:49,560
Speaker 1: cracks me up, because I know there are things I

495
00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:51,560
Speaker 1: say at the end of the football game, and I'll

496
00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:53,520
Speaker 1: go fourth quarter pass rush, and I can hear John

497
00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:56,240
Speaker 1: Gruden in my head because John would say that every game,

498
00:22:56,440 --> 00:22:58,520
Speaker 1: you gotta have a fourth quarter pass rush. Do you

499
00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:00,760
Speaker 1: love football? Three knocks? If with all the stuff you

500
00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:05,000
Speaker 1: saw on hard knots, that's real John, and I love

501
00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:08,359
Speaker 1: seeing it. You know, we're neutral because you have to be,

502
00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:11,159
Speaker 1: because we cover all thirty two teams for everyone's home

503
00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:14,600
Speaker 1: announcer or home studio host every week. But I gotta

504
00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:16,359
Speaker 1: tell you, I really hope that they can keep this

505
00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:20,400
Speaker 1: thing going Vegas the Raiders. Gruden like, there's a there's

506
00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:24,000
Speaker 1: a three three parlay that works perfectly right, And I'd

507
00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:26,320
Speaker 1: love to see this thing continue on into the second

508
00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:28,640
Speaker 1: half of the season. Mike Real quick before we wrap.

509
00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:30,800
Speaker 1: We had a great day with Brady his last regular

510
00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:33,200
Speaker 1: season game in Foxborough. You and I were part of

511
00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:35,280
Speaker 1: the broadcast team that did it for NFL Network. I

512
00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:39,240
Speaker 1: was sent this picture this week of Austin, Kurtwarner and Brady.

513
00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:43,720
Speaker 1: Tom was in a different place mentally that day two

514
00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:46,200
Speaker 1: years ago, knowing what was up ahead, and now that

515
00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:48,840
Speaker 1: he's a buccaneer. Tell me, did you ever imagine that

516
00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:51,000
Speaker 1: we would be talking about Tom Brady, the Super Bowl

517
00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:53,680
Speaker 1: champion of the Tampay Buccaneers, coming back into Foxborough less

518
00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:56,320
Speaker 1: than two years later. Never shrikes. This has got to

519
00:23:56,359 --> 00:23:58,800
Speaker 1: be the most anticipated game in NFL history. The all

520
00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:02,160
Speaker 1: time winning Super Bowl champion quarterback with the greatest head

521
00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:05,320
Speaker 1: coach of all time in Belichick coming back there that

522
00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:07,800
Speaker 1: ovation when he comes out whenever, that is before the

523
00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:10,080
Speaker 1: game and the game starts, it's gonna be amazing. It's

524
00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:13,360
Speaker 1: Larry Byrd coming back with the Phoenix Suns, right, It's

525
00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:16,480
Speaker 1: Ted Williams coming back with the Chicago White Sox's it's

526
00:24:16,520 --> 00:24:20,159
Speaker 1: an all time Boston mount Rushmore coming back with some

527
00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:23,440
Speaker 1: team you never thought he'd be back with, And that's

528
00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:25,600
Speaker 1: gonna be a moment we'll remember forever. I can't wait.

529
00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:28,119
Speaker 1: I can't wait for it. Larry Bird in a sun's

530
00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:33,480
Speaker 1: purple jersey. Yes exactly, Hey on behalf of all of us.

531
00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:35,680
Speaker 1: We love when you join the show. It adds a

532
00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:38,359
Speaker 1: little gravitas to our table. But we always appreciate your

533
00:24:38,359 --> 00:24:40,960
Speaker 1: friendship with us. I mean so much, thanks, Mike, I

534
00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:44,119
Speaker 1: love you, guys. Keep it up. Time now for some

535
00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:49,560
Speaker 1: five Friday the Remix. I'm going to give you my

536
00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:53,560
Speaker 1: five favorite Fantasy values for Week four. I will admit

537
00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:55,760
Speaker 1: but a little shaky this year. It's been up and down.

538
00:24:55,800 --> 00:24:58,639
Speaker 1: I'd like to Kyle Pitts, you can do anything, Wolf

539
00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:01,000
Speaker 1: I like Daniel Jones, last week did not work out.

540
00:25:01,080 --> 00:25:02,840
Speaker 1: Let's get back on track, people, and let's start with

541
00:25:02,920 --> 00:25:06,520
Speaker 1: a quarterback named Sam Donald against the Cowboys. Little risky,

542
00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:08,880
Speaker 1: not really to me. He's a QB one in fantasy

543
00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:12,600
Speaker 1: this year. He's outscoring guys like Justin Ober, like Dak.

544
00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:14,800
Speaker 1: He's not scoring Aaron Rodgers so far as I think

545
00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:17,200
Speaker 1: I think that you know keeps going. Probably not, but

546
00:25:17,320 --> 00:25:19,720
Speaker 1: I do think you'll put up numbers even with McCaffrey

547
00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:23,159
Speaker 1: sidelined up against this Cowboys secondary game. Scriptal matter and

548
00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:25,520
Speaker 1: this is a defense that is still despite being better.

549
00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:27,960
Speaker 1: And we love Micah Parson Triggs with their top five

550
00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:31,600
Speaker 1: most generous in terms of fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks.

551
00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:33,360
Speaker 1: It's just putting up points. They're gonna put up point.

552
00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:35,399
Speaker 1: You gotta put up points. Back him to Dja more.

553
00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:37,680
Speaker 1: It's got to happen at running back. How about Jack

554
00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:40,760
Speaker 1: Moss against the Texans. He's been on a tear lately.

555
00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:43,400
Speaker 1: He's raped of three touchdowns over the last two weeks.

556
00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:46,399
Speaker 1: He's ranking as a top ten running back over that span.

557
00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:48,880
Speaker 1: Are we kidding? He's going to punch in at least

558
00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:51,520
Speaker 1: one more the touchdowns? Are you know? They've got the

559
00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:54,480
Speaker 1: Texans defense this week. I think that's absolutely going to happen.

560
00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:57,280
Speaker 1: Much of the dismay of Stefan Diggs fantasy owners and

561
00:25:57,440 --> 00:26:00,560
Speaker 1: Josh Allen fantasy owners who expects all those points from them, Kyle,

562
00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:02,520
Speaker 1: it's good for the Bills in real life that this

563
00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:04,440
Speaker 1: guy's going, but it's not so great that they're so

564
00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:06,000
Speaker 1: well rounded. But they can't they score for it to

565
00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:09,480
Speaker 1: turn around too. Didn't dress week one the best? I

566
00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:11,399
Speaker 1: like him in daily fantasy, and you can still somehow

567
00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:13,320
Speaker 1: get him in your shallow league. Go ahead and grab

568
00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:16,000
Speaker 1: him at wide receiver, Robbie Anderson, how about him against

569
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:17,960
Speaker 1: the Cowboy? Was going back to the well here. I

570
00:26:18,119 --> 00:26:19,840
Speaker 1: like him as a stack with Donald if you're playing

571
00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:22,640
Speaker 1: daily fantasy this week. He's been really quiet lately, which

572
00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:24,680
Speaker 1: has just really made him a bargain. He's fifty one

573
00:26:25,359 --> 00:26:27,480
Speaker 1: hundred dollars on draft teams right now. I don't know

574
00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:29,920
Speaker 1: where you play, but if you do there, please scoop

575
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:32,399
Speaker 1: him up. I think it's a breakout week. The Panthers

576
00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:35,000
Speaker 1: are looking to find big plays without CMC on the field.

577
00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:38,159
Speaker 1: Another wide receiver for you, Jacobe Myers against the books. No,

578
00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:39,640
Speaker 1: one's a lot of more fantasy points to the wide

579
00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:42,760
Speaker 1: receiver spot then the Buccaneers. We know the secondary Shrigs

580
00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:45,760
Speaker 1: banged up. Why not Jacobe Wires. It's if ever there

581
00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:48,639
Speaker 1: was a time, this is the Richard Sherman might be

582
00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:50,399
Speaker 1: like him. Hey, let's not expect Richard Sherman to come

583
00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:53,159
Speaker 1: out and be lights out week one. Maybe he might be,

584
00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:55,119
Speaker 1: but they're gonna have to get the ball to somebody.

585
00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:58,520
Speaker 1: And really, Myers has emerged as Mac Jones's favorite target.

586
00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:01,119
Speaker 1: He had fourteen tars last week. You gotta love that.

587
00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:03,359
Speaker 1: I mean, he's the most consistent of all the receivers

588
00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:05,639
Speaker 1: he's been in the system. Obviously they've got Nelson Aguilar

589
00:27:05,680 --> 00:27:08,000
Speaker 1: and Kendrick Borne, but they're new to this system. Jacobe

590
00:27:08,119 --> 00:27:10,800
Speaker 1: handles the slot. He can play inside, outside, and he,

591
00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:13,640
Speaker 1: like I said, he's definitely had some tremendous growth over

592
00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:16,040
Speaker 1: these first few seasons. Jones is looking for him. He'll

593
00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:18,639
Speaker 1: have plenty of opportunities to make some plays on Sunday Night. Finally,

594
00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:22,520
Speaker 1: at tight end, Tyler Conklin against the Browns. IRV Smith,

595
00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:25,760
Speaker 1: we love Tim Schrag. Irv Smith worried, but you know Conklin,

596
00:27:25,840 --> 00:27:28,639
Speaker 1: though he's been stepping it up for Minnesota. We know

597
00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:30,960
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins loves tight ends. We've talked about this a lot,

598
00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:34,040
Speaker 1: and he went to Conklin eight times last weekend. Tyler

599
00:27:34,119 --> 00:27:37,720
Speaker 1: holt in seven of those for seventy yards and a touchdown.

600
00:27:37,760 --> 00:27:39,399
Speaker 1: I think we could easily see him find the end

601
00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:41,639
Speaker 1: zone again this week against the Browns. It should be

602
00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:43,440
Speaker 1: a good game. Castle you're all over it and there's

603
00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:45,480
Speaker 1: a lot of guys on the squad, a lot of

604
00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:48,840
Speaker 1: mouse to feed. But Conklin could be a nice little sleepers.

605
00:27:49,040 --> 00:27:51,159
Speaker 1: It's a quarterback's best friend, especially when you have the

606
00:27:51,200 --> 00:27:54,719
Speaker 1: two outside threats with Adam Cleland justin Jefferson, right, they

607
00:27:54,800 --> 00:27:56,560
Speaker 1: have to be the focal point of that offense when

608
00:27:56,600 --> 00:27:58,240
Speaker 1: they're going downfield, but then all of a sudden, you

609
00:27:58,359 --> 00:28:00,160
Speaker 1: get a tight end involved. He'll get the one one

610
00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:02,119
Speaker 1: matchups with the linebackers, He'll get the one on one

611
00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:05,680
Speaker 1: matchup with the safeties, which is a good factor and

612
00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:08,600
Speaker 1: a good outlet for Kirk Cousins. We's got three weeks

613
00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:11,360
Speaker 1: of matchups, three weeks of data that sort of show

614
00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:13,280
Speaker 1: us what matchups to exploit. That's why I like the

615
00:28:13,359 --> 00:28:16,360
Speaker 1: Carolina Panthers, even without Christian McCaffrey. I don't think they'll

616
00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:18,680
Speaker 1: just fall apart. I trust to a Hubbard too. He's

617
00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:20,680
Speaker 1: not going to be Christian McCaffrey. Nobody can, but he

618
00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:23,399
Speaker 1: can do something to sort of keep this balanced and

619
00:28:23,560 --> 00:28:25,960
Speaker 1: keep them going up against a Cowboys secondary that's top

620
00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:29,159
Speaker 1: five most generous to the past and those matchups. What

621
00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:30,879
Speaker 1: do you guys think? I think that it's it's the

622
00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:33,880
Speaker 1: Zach Moss game, because you if they're up early, you're

623
00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:35,800
Speaker 1: not gonna want to have to trot out Josh Allen

624
00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:38,000
Speaker 1: and haven't run all over the field, and they're the

625
00:28:38,080 --> 00:28:40,200
Speaker 1: biggest favorites this week. I would assume they get a

626
00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:41,640
Speaker 1: lead early and then they just run him and just

627
00:28:41,720 --> 00:28:43,040
Speaker 1: keep them going, So I think that's a good start.

628
00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:45,920
Speaker 1: Bills are interesting because this is the game before the

629
00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:48,280
Speaker 1: game they play the Chiefs in two weeks, so I

630
00:28:48,320 --> 00:28:50,000
Speaker 1: don't know if they do get up if they play

631
00:28:50,040 --> 00:28:52,520
Speaker 1: a conservative which will help Zach Moss. I like seeing

632
00:28:52,560 --> 00:28:54,200
Speaker 1: a Viking on there, whoever it is. Right now, the

633
00:28:54,320 --> 00:28:56,640
Speaker 1: Vikings are let Kirk Cook like he is the best

634
00:28:56,720 --> 00:28:59,760
Speaker 1: player on the team because Dalvin got hurt. Any Viking

635
00:28:59,800 --> 00:29:01,600
Speaker 1: with horn on his helmet, I would put him in fantasy.

636
00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:03,880
Speaker 1: Kirk's that good, right, Tyler Conklin. On the other side, people,

637
00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:06,040
Speaker 1: I told you last week on Sunday Odell Beckham Junior

638
00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:08,040
Speaker 1: and his first game back, he got peppered with the targets.

639
00:29:08,040 --> 00:29:09,760
Speaker 1: He ended up having a decent game. I expect that

640
00:29:09,880 --> 00:29:12,800
Speaker 1: to continue. Without Jarvis Landry on the field at g

641
00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:15,400
Speaker 1: MFP Friday wouldn't be the same if we didn't welcome

642
00:29:15,440 --> 00:29:21,520
Speaker 1: back or old old friend. Not an old friend. Hey,

643
00:29:21,560 --> 00:29:24,080
Speaker 1: Tiffany Blackman, there's an old friend. The benefone Network. Right there,

644
00:29:24,320 --> 00:29:26,920
Speaker 1: we will welcome in Nate from CBS after this What

645
00:29:27,080 --> 00:29:30,880
Speaker 1: was going on there? I don't remember, Yeah, but when

646
00:29:30,920 --> 00:29:42,720
Speaker 1: he was a nerd tape glass, I don't remember the segment. Hey,

647
00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:45,840
Speaker 1: it's time for today's makeup Call, presented by Verizon, and

648
00:29:46,080 --> 00:29:47,440
Speaker 1: we're gonna bringing a friend of ours. So you're a

649
00:29:47,440 --> 00:29:49,000
Speaker 1: friend who got a shout out from Troy when on

650
00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:52,600
Speaker 1: the broadcast last night, who is married to his college sweetheart,

651
00:29:52,640 --> 00:29:55,400
Speaker 1: and who is afraid of Octopie. It's a Nate burliston

652
00:29:55,440 --> 00:29:57,320
Speaker 1: from CBS Mornings. What's up, Bud? I know you're also

653
00:29:57,360 --> 00:30:00,400
Speaker 1: said for Bucks Patriots, and we've dissected every part of this, dude,

654
00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:01,800
Speaker 1: here at the table. One of the parts that I've

655
00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:03,440
Speaker 1: brought up, and I'd like to hear your thoughts, is

656
00:30:03,520 --> 00:30:06,560
Speaker 1: the idea of Belichick and Brady after this game. What

657
00:30:06,840 --> 00:30:09,440
Speaker 1: is the handshake? Is it an embrace? Nate? We're gonna

658
00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:11,840
Speaker 1: break this thing down. How do you see it playing out? Yeah?

659
00:30:12,040 --> 00:30:14,360
Speaker 1: I see it as love. I see it as two

660
00:30:14,400 --> 00:30:19,560
Speaker 1: individuals that were once in a relationship and they split ways,

661
00:30:19,760 --> 00:30:21,760
Speaker 1: and once they see each other again, it's going to

662
00:30:21,800 --> 00:30:23,600
Speaker 1: be nothing but respect. And I feel like it's going

663
00:30:23,680 --> 00:30:26,240
Speaker 1: to be the same thing for him returning to Foxborough.

664
00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:28,600
Speaker 1: I don't know if you guys saw Julian Edelman this

665
00:30:28,760 --> 00:30:31,560
Speaker 1: past week, he posted some images of him being back

666
00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:35,560
Speaker 1: there and they gave him a rucous standing ovation, and

667
00:30:35,680 --> 00:30:37,120
Speaker 1: I feel like they're going to do the same thing.

668
00:30:37,240 --> 00:30:40,120
Speaker 1: So if in that moment where the crowd is chanting

669
00:30:40,280 --> 00:30:42,880
Speaker 1: and screaming because Brady's back, even some of his former

670
00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:45,760
Speaker 1: teammates and guys just just respect him, you don't think

671
00:30:45,800 --> 00:30:48,600
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick is going to reciprocate that same type of energy.

672
00:30:48,720 --> 00:30:50,800
Speaker 1: So I don't feel like this is going to be cold.

673
00:30:50,920 --> 00:30:52,680
Speaker 1: I don't feel like there will be a cold handshake

674
00:30:52,800 --> 00:30:55,200
Speaker 1: or cold shoulder. I'm looking forward to it. It's like

675
00:30:55,240 --> 00:30:57,440
Speaker 1: a family reunion and we're all witnessed to it. Front

676
00:30:57,520 --> 00:31:00,240
Speaker 1: roll seats. I love this energy. It is all love

677
00:31:00,360 --> 00:31:03,480
Speaker 1: as always. Nate, good to see you happy Friday. As

678
00:31:03,520 --> 00:31:06,040
Speaker 1: you know, your friend Golden Tate was here earlier this week.

679
00:31:06,160 --> 00:31:08,160
Speaker 1: I want you to listen to what he said about

680
00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:12,440
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers and Matthew Stafford. If you take Matthew Stafford

681
00:31:12,520 --> 00:31:15,080
Speaker 1: and Aaron Rodgers and you switch their situations, I think

682
00:31:15,240 --> 00:31:18,880
Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford is equally, if not more successful than Aaron

683
00:31:18,960 --> 00:31:21,880
Speaker 1: Rodgerson personally, if you're saying if Rodgers was in Detroit,

684
00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:23,920
Speaker 1: he would have no more success than Stafford, it it

685
00:31:23,960 --> 00:31:25,640
Speaker 1: would have been tough on him. It would have been

686
00:31:25,680 --> 00:31:29,200
Speaker 1: tough on him. He got got a little bit, Nate.

687
00:31:29,240 --> 00:31:31,960
Speaker 1: Do you agree with Golden or did he oversimplify things

688
00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:35,600
Speaker 1: a little bit? I agree, Producers, go ahead and get

689
00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:37,600
Speaker 1: ready to clip this off. If Matt Stafford was in

690
00:31:37,760 --> 00:31:39,920
Speaker 1: Green Bay, if he was in New England, if he

691
00:31:40,080 --> 00:31:42,760
Speaker 1: was in New Orleans, he'd be a Super Bowl champion,

692
00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:45,360
Speaker 1: maybe twice over. He'd also be looked at as one

693
00:31:45,400 --> 00:31:47,720
Speaker 1: of the best quarterbacks of his era, not just one

694
00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:49,800
Speaker 1: of those guys that can throw the ball downfield is

695
00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:52,400
Speaker 1: going to have major numbers when he's done playing football.

696
00:31:52,560 --> 00:31:55,160
Speaker 1: But I truly do believe you're a product of your environment.

697
00:31:55,280 --> 00:31:57,320
Speaker 1: And this isn't me taking a shout at Detroit. I'm

698
00:31:57,360 --> 00:32:00,560
Speaker 1: being completely honest in this moment. You know, there's been

699
00:32:00,640 --> 00:32:02,280
Speaker 1: times where Matt Stafford has been at the top of

700
00:32:02,360 --> 00:32:05,920
Speaker 1: his game, handcuffed to Calvin Johnson, and everybody's curious why

701
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:10,160
Speaker 1: they can't have more success when you have coaching turnover,

702
00:32:10,320 --> 00:32:12,720
Speaker 1: when you have offensive coordinator turnover, and when you have

703
00:32:12,840 --> 00:32:16,280
Speaker 1: inconsistency on offensive line playing running backs, it makes it difficult.

704
00:32:16,560 --> 00:32:19,320
Speaker 1: So I agree with Golden Tate one hundred percent, and

705
00:32:19,400 --> 00:32:21,360
Speaker 1: even add a little bit more to it, saying that

706
00:32:21,440 --> 00:32:23,000
Speaker 1: he would be looked at as one of the greats

707
00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:27,360
Speaker 1: of his era if he was elsewhere. Seeing Aaron Rodgers'

708
00:32:27,680 --> 00:32:31,960
Speaker 1: new hair's long, it's kind of gross. He revealed this

709
00:32:32,040 --> 00:32:34,080
Speaker 1: week that he's growing it out this way for a

710
00:32:34,200 --> 00:32:37,440
Speaker 1: Halloween costume. We've been taking guesses all week. What's the

711
00:32:37,600 --> 00:32:41,200
Speaker 1: Rogers Halloween costume? Long hair? What is your guess? All right?

712
00:32:41,240 --> 00:32:43,080
Speaker 1: So I was thinking a movie character, and I was like, no,

713
00:32:43,200 --> 00:32:45,760
Speaker 1: it's too easy. Aaron Rodgers is growing out as here

714
00:32:45,760 --> 00:32:48,240
Speaker 1: for a Halloween costume. And you know when he does things,

715
00:32:48,320 --> 00:32:51,240
Speaker 1: he's always sending a message. So I gave this some thought.

716
00:32:52,240 --> 00:32:55,760
Speaker 1: Hallelujah prayers the Lord. I think he's going as Jesus Halloween.

717
00:32:56,680 --> 00:33:00,760
Speaker 1: I think he's going full religious. Listen, because Aaron Rodgers

718
00:33:01,040 --> 00:33:04,480
Speaker 1: has been praised. He's been praised if you listen to

719
00:33:04,600 --> 00:33:07,480
Speaker 1: Kyle Brand everybody else he talks about. He's the greatest

720
00:33:07,520 --> 00:33:12,120
Speaker 1: thing the quarterbacks since the quarterback position was invented. He's good,

721
00:33:12,240 --> 00:33:13,800
Speaker 1: and he kicked my butt when I played. I'm not

722
00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:15,480
Speaker 1: taking a shot in Aaron. Aaron, you know, I love you.

723
00:33:15,680 --> 00:33:17,680
Speaker 1: But I think he's sitting the message though, by the

724
00:33:17,760 --> 00:33:20,080
Speaker 1: way that people have described his play. I mean he's fast,

725
00:33:20,160 --> 00:33:22,240
Speaker 1: you can throw the ball a mile, and he walks

726
00:33:22,280 --> 00:33:24,560
Speaker 1: on water in Green Bay. And he might not be

727
00:33:24,600 --> 00:33:26,760
Speaker 1: able to turn water into wine, but he could turn

728
00:33:26,800 --> 00:33:29,040
Speaker 1: a fan into a cheesehead. So I think he's going

729
00:33:29,120 --> 00:33:31,920
Speaker 1: as Jesus on Halloween. We are hyping up his Halloween

730
00:33:31,960 --> 00:33:34,480
Speaker 1: cop and it better be epic, epic cost because we

731
00:33:34,560 --> 00:33:37,120
Speaker 1: talked about it every day on this program. Jesus would

732
00:33:37,120 --> 00:33:38,920
Speaker 1: probably do that. Thank you so much, Nate, we got

733
00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:42,960
Speaker 1: to talk about Yes, nailed it, Nate, so to speak.

734
00:33:44,160 --> 00:33:45,560
Speaker 1: We'll talk to you in a bit. I guess man,

735
00:33:45,560 --> 00:33:48,000
Speaker 1: I think we're done with you. Enjoy your weekend. We

736
00:33:48,120 --> 00:33:50,080
Speaker 1: love you. Have a drink tonight, Nate, Love Yeah, I

737
00:33:50,160 --> 00:33:55,400
Speaker 1: have a cow kisses. We're gonna wrap up the show

738
00:33:55,840 --> 00:33:57,520
Speaker 1: here on Friday, and then you watch the show tomorrow.

739
00:33:57,560 --> 00:33:59,960

742
00:34:05,840 --> 00:34:08,880
Speaker 1: is going to do a signature fantasy series from Boston.

00:34:09,600 --> 00:34:12,239
Speaker 1: There might be an accent involved. This show is so fun,

744
00:34:12,440 --> 00:34:14,799
Speaker 1: so well done. That's all they do for three hours

00:34:38,600 --> 00:34:41,960
Speaker 1: the week with one more dollarp of ridiculousness, but actually

756
00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:44,160
Speaker 1: this segment is pretty serious. So it's week four in

00:35:01,640 --> 00:35:05,200
Speaker 1: I mentioned working in one place for fourteen years, fourteen

764
00:35:05,280 --> 00:35:07,359
Speaker 1: years and working all the way up that ORG chart,

765
00:35:07,440 --> 00:35:10,040
Speaker 1: starting off in one spot and doing every different role

766
00:35:10,080 --> 00:35:12,520
Speaker 1: in working, working, working, working, and then you finally get

767
00:35:12,520 --> 00:35:16,279
Speaker 1: a job opportunity for another company. But then you get

768
00:35:16,360 --> 00:35:18,320
Speaker 1: to go back into the building where you worked for

769
00:35:18,400 --> 00:35:21,880
Speaker 1: fourteen years and show what you've become. Kevin Stefanski is

770
00:35:21,920 --> 00:35:25,800
Speaker 1: not losing this. I'm going with the Browns as my

771
00:35:30,280 --> 00:35:42,560
Speaker 1: certip the week. All Right, Matt, all right, I'm up.

772
00:35:45,080 --> 00:35:48,480
Speaker 1: This is uh that was great. All Right. I've got

773
00:35:48,560 --> 00:35:53,400
Speaker 1: the Bills at home against the Houston Texans. Let's be honest.

774
00:35:53,480 --> 00:35:56,480
Speaker 1: The Bills of outscored opponents seventy eight to twenty one

775
00:35:56,520 --> 00:36:01,360
Speaker 1: over the last Tampa Bay Patriots. I mean they have

776
00:36:01,680 --> 00:36:04,440
Speaker 1: won eight out of the last nine games. I mean,

777
00:36:04,520 --> 00:36:07,000
Speaker 1: this team's rolling. Their defense is good, They've got the weapons.

778
00:36:07,080 --> 00:36:09,919
Speaker 1: Josh Allen looks like the guy that we saw Matt.

779
00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:14,399
Speaker 1: So with that being said, the pick of my going, well,

780
00:36:15,040 --> 00:36:32,719
Speaker 1: that's why I'm going, yells as why yeah, and I

781
00:36:32,760 --> 00:36:36,160
Speaker 1: haven't sound effect. Again, I don't know if that was

782
00:36:36,160 --> 00:36:42,400
Speaker 1: the middle of like like wrangling up something laughter to

783
00:36:42,520 --> 00:36:45,520
Speaker 1: make schragger and I'm quite uncomfortable. Try to focus on

784
00:36:45,600 --> 00:36:47,880
Speaker 1: the sound effective at all. All right, I've got my

785
00:36:47,960 --> 00:36:51,279
Speaker 1: eyes on the Cardinals. They're visiting the Rams, the Cardinals,

786
00:36:51,480 --> 00:36:54,200
Speaker 1: the Kyler Cliff. They can't beat the Rams. They're oh

787
00:36:54,280 --> 00:36:55,880
Speaker 1: and eight against the Rams. They can't get a win.

788
00:36:56,160 --> 00:36:59,680
Speaker 1: I don't care. I think that Kyler Murray, go electric Cliff.

789
00:36:59,800 --> 00:37:01,440
Speaker 1: This is how you do the sec We're not builds

790

Speaker 1: Cardinals on the back of the arm and the legs

792
00:37:07,280 --> 00:37:09,920
Speaker 1: of Kyler Murray too. Rondale, more out there for some

793

Speaker 1: big explosive But lect your play as my grade RASP

794
00:37:22,200 --> 00:37:27,840
Speaker 1: to the week. For some reason, I guess, Fra, your

795
00:37:27,840 --> 00:37:30,440
Speaker 1: hair's gonna light on fire. There's so much fire and

796
00:37:30,520 --> 00:37:32,680
Speaker 1: so much hair, It's like it makes me nervous. But

797
00:37:32,719 --> 00:37:34,560

802
00:37:50,719 --> 00:37:52,840
Speaker 1: there in the Chicago Bears. We don't know who the

803
00:37:52,880 --> 00:37:54,320
Speaker 1: hell the quarterback is going to be. As if this

804
00:37:54,480 --> 00:37:58,320
Speaker 1: live broadcast right now, I actually have this weird feeling

805
00:37:58,400 --> 00:38:00,480
Speaker 1: that it's going to be Nick Foles. I really do.

806
00:38:00,719 --> 00:38:02,719

810
00:38:12,080 --> 00:38:14,879
Speaker 1: will find some way to win this game, and incredibly,

811
00:38:15,200 --> 00:38:17,919
