00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:05,280
Speaker 2: blast here today. We all know, let's just dive into

95
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:07,320
Speaker 2: it right now. We all knew that this week, this

96
00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:09,680
Speaker 2: entire week, was going to be a wild.

97
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:10,920
Speaker 3: Week for head coaches.

98
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:14,240
Speaker 2: Yes, right, But I gotta be honest, there were a

99
00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:17,920
Speaker 2: couple that shook me, dude. Like this week we said

100
00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:21,320
Speaker 2: goodbye to some legendary coaches and their teams. Nick Saban

101
00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:25,280
Speaker 2: and Alabama. Man, what yeah, Pete Carroll and the Seahawks.

102
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:28,880
Speaker 2: What also? Like makes sense? But didn't see it coming.

103
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:32,200
Speaker 2: I didn't see it coming. But let's start with Bill

104
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:36,240
Speaker 2: Belichick leaving the Patriots after twenty four years.

105
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:38,400
Speaker 3: As I expected. This is what I said last Dick,

106
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:42,000
Speaker 3: if not the weekend before. It's it was a mutual agreement.

107
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:46,359
Speaker 2: They both sides agreed that they would go their separate ways,

108
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:47,680
Speaker 2: which is how it should be.

109
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:53,880
Speaker 3: Just Yes, you could fire Belichick that word, and it

110
00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:54,720
Speaker 3: was the right move.

111
00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:58,159
Speaker 2: It's now been four seasons of disappointment since Tom Brady left.

112
00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 2: Bill will go down as the greatest coach and page

113
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:01,800
Speaker 2: its history and possibly of all time.

114
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:03,560
Speaker 3: But it's a billion dollar business.

115
00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:06,000
Speaker 2: As we talked about and when you're not getting results,

116
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:09,320
Speaker 2: it's time to shake things up. But his farewell presser

117
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:11,279
Speaker 2: did not seem like he was done coaching.

118
00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:11,880
Speaker 6: Right.

119
00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:12,320
Speaker 3: That was the.

120
00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:15,600
Speaker 2: Nicest we've ever seen him dress, the clearest we have

121
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:16,880
Speaker 2: ever heard him speak.

122
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:19,960
Speaker 3: There was no mumbling oh no, and I was like, oh,

123
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:24,400
Speaker 3: you can speak clearly, Bill. There he is.

124
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:27,240
Speaker 2: Looked like he was presenting himself in a way that

125
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:31,680
Speaker 2: he's ready to coach a different team. Almost felt like

126
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:32,640
Speaker 2: a job interviewing.

127
00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:33,480
Speaker 3: Ye a bit.

128
00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:36,760
Speaker 2: He dressed for the occasion, And if he was planning

129
00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:40,239
Speaker 2: to retire, he would have told us, yes, he would

130
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:40,720
Speaker 2: have told us.

131
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:40,880
Speaker 3: Now.

132
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:44,040
Speaker 2: Both Bill and Robert Kraft had these like planned speeches

133
00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:48,239
Speaker 2: at the presser and said, you know, very nice things

134
00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:51,720
Speaker 2: about each other. Let's start with Robert Kraft talking about Bill.

135
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:55,760
Speaker 7: At heart, I will always be a sentimental sports fan,

136
00:05:56,120 --> 00:06:00,200
Speaker 7: So this is a very emotional day for me. Of

137
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:04,440
Speaker 7: my happiest and most memorable moments were celebrated with my

138
00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:09,559
Speaker 7: family during Bill's tenure here. Coach Belichick will forever be

139
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:14,320
Speaker 7: celebrated as a legendary sports icon here in New England,

140
00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:18,440
Speaker 7: which makes this decision so hard. But this is a

141
00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:22,800
Speaker 7: move that we mutually agreed that is needed at this time.

142
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:28,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, that perfectly put. Yeah, like he was legendary.

143
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:32,360
Speaker 4: He built a legacy like he he is the Patriots.

144
00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:36,799
Speaker 2: They were a dynasty. Yeah, for an incredible amount of time.

145
00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:41,440
Speaker 2: And Robert Kraft and the Patriots will be forever grateful

146
00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:46,039
Speaker 2: for what he did. But it's a business and it's

147
00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:48,680
Speaker 2: time to move on. And and Bill, like you could

148
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:51,480
Speaker 2: tell he even kind of understood it, and this is

149
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:54,320
Speaker 2: what he had to say, so.

150
00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:57,040
Speaker 5: Much, thanks for the opportunity to be a coach here

151
00:06:57,040 --> 00:06:57,920
Speaker 5: for twenty four years.

152
00:06:57,960 --> 00:06:58,840
Speaker 7: We had a vision of.

153
00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:01,600
Speaker 5: You know, Billy and Winner building championship football team here

154
00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:05,520
Speaker 5: that's exceeded, exceeded my wildest dreams. You know, fans and

155
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:08,599
Speaker 5: are amazing. You know, there's so many memories of the fans,

156
00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:13,679

157
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:17,040
Speaker 5: the whatever the situations are, the letters to support seeing

158
00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:18,880
Speaker 5: the fans you know away from here, you know, to

00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:23,960
Speaker 5: she bumped into them. Patriot fans here and not just

161
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:26,960
Speaker 5: in New England, but they extend nationally and even internationally.

162
00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:30,440
Speaker 5: As I've traveled, it's amazing how far the arm reaches.

163
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:33,480
Speaker 5: We saw that this year in Germany. So so appreciated

164
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:35,920
Speaker 5: the fans for all the support they've given me, my

165
00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:37,960
Speaker 5: family in this football team.

166
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:41,640
Speaker 3: The emotion. Yeah, in Bill's voice, I don't know if

167
00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:42,280
Speaker 3: we've ever heard that.

168
00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:45,960
Speaker 2: No, not to that clarity, not to that appreciation, not

169
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:48,960
Speaker 2: to I think it's the first time again twenty four years,

170
00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:51,800
Speaker 2: when you're in it, you don't actually you can't, you

171
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:53,360
Speaker 2: can't really like appreciate it.

172
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:54,680
Speaker 3: Us step them back.

173
00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:56,920
Speaker 2: To be like, whoa, look, we accomplished. But like, once

174
00:07:56,960 --> 00:07:58,600
Speaker 2: you know you're moving on, that's the first time you're

175
00:07:58,640 --> 00:07:59,760
Speaker 2: able to really.

176
00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:01,480
Speaker 3: Look.

177
00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:04,200
Speaker 2: And I've talked about this with a lot of players,

178
00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:06,280
Speaker 2: legendary Hall of Famer players, where it's like, when you're

179
00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:08,080
Speaker 2: in it, you don't want to get too caught up

180
00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:09,760
Speaker 2: in it, of course, but the moment you kind of

181
00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:11,880
Speaker 2: take a step back, you're like, wow, we did some

182
00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:15,160
Speaker 2: pretty cool stuff. Yeah, that was epic. Now, as I mentioned,

183
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:16,520
Speaker 2: I don't think Bill's done coaching.

184
00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:21,120
Speaker 4: I don't think so either. The way you just said it,

185
00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:23,560
Speaker 4: he just looked so perky.

186
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:26,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, he would have said I'm done, I'm done, he's here.

187
00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:29,080
Speaker 2: Bill does not beat around the bus, right, he tells

188
00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:30,760
Speaker 2: you how it is and that's who he is, that's

189
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:35,200
Speaker 2: his personality. He didn't say that, so I very strongly believe,

190
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:40,040
Speaker 2: I would say ninety nine percent that he is going

191
00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:44,640
Speaker 2: to land another coaching job. So possible landing spots for Bill,

192
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:48,760
Speaker 2: I would say, there's like three.

193
00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:56,120
Speaker 3: Okay. I have the Falcons, Yeah, good ownership.

194
00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:59,959
Speaker 2: They have a decent draft pick to get a solid quarterback,

195
00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:04,960
Speaker 2: eighth overall in the draft. Commanders another one. They just

196
00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:08,120
Speaker 2: hired their GM, Adam Peters from the forty nine Ers.

197
00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:10,400
Speaker 2: He was the assistant GM. I don't know if that

198
00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:13,040
Speaker 2: will necessarily help or hurt Bill wanting to go there

199
00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:16,160
Speaker 2: because he was the GM and head coach at the

200
00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:19,840
Speaker 2: Patriots and likes having that. Overall, I think power where

201
00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:21,119
Speaker 2: he goes, he's gonna.

202
00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:25,400
Speaker 4: Have to it's gonna be it's going to be nobody. Yes,

203
00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:27,360
Speaker 4: So wherever he goes, I don't think he's gonna have

204
00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:28,400
Speaker 4: that same power.

205
00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:30,440
Speaker 2: Not as much. I will definitely have a say, but

206
00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:31,520
Speaker 2: he won't have as much.

207
00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:31,839
Speaker 4: Correct.

208
00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:34,960
Speaker 2: Plus, Commanders have the second overall draft pick. They will

209
00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:38,439
Speaker 2: get a great quarterback. And this is an incredible quarterback

210
00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:41,760
Speaker 2: draft class and then there's a dark horse that's kind

211
00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:46,200
Speaker 2: of been rumoring this week and Philly.

212
00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:48,400
Speaker 3: Right, that's the one. If they lose this.

213
00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:53,760
Speaker 2: Weekend, they're saying Sirianna could be out right and that

214
00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:54,760
Speaker 2: could be a.

215
00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:57,200
Speaker 3: Great top spot for Bill.

216
00:09:57,520 --> 00:09:59,000
Speaker 2: Just just kind of keep that in the back of

217
00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:02,320
Speaker 2: your mind because it's all going to depend how.

218
00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:04,920
Speaker 3: The Eagles do right during the playoffs.

219
00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:07,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, Bill needs to go to a team that is

220
00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:11,720
Speaker 4: kind of already established and just needs to get pushed.

221
00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:13,559
Speaker 3: Over the hume he's not. It's not. I don't see

222
00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:14,920
Speaker 3: him doing a full rebul right.

223
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:16,120
Speaker 4: Like starting from scratch.

224
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:19,000
Speaker 2: But if he does have a top draft pick and

225
00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:22,800
Speaker 2: gets to like develop a new franchise quarterback or you

226
00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:25,600
Speaker 2: have a great system in place, I think that works.

227
00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:27,400
Speaker 2: I also don't see him coming to the West Coast.

228
00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:30,000
Speaker 2: He is an East Coast guy. So that's why I

229
00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:32,400
Speaker 2: think more of these Ice Coast teams, the.

230
00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:34,520
Speaker 4: Three you had are the three I actually had to

231
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:37,480
Speaker 4: okay for those reasons. Again, I just not even I

232
00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:40,200
Speaker 4: didn't even think about the East Coast. But good point. Yeah,

233
00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:41,960
Speaker 4: I just think he's not going to go to a

234
00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:44,959
Speaker 4: team that is starting new, starting fresh. He's got to

235
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:47,320
Speaker 4: go to an already kind of established team that just

236
00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:50,040
Speaker 4: needs to fine tune things that he can get them

237
00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:53,400
Speaker 4: over whatever hump they're stuck at. Yeah, you know, but

238
00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:57,320
Speaker 4: I think the dark horse is one to definitely keep

239
00:10:57,440 --> 00:10:58,359
Speaker 4: an eye.

240
00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:01,640
Speaker 3: On and see what happens in the playoff.

241
00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:04,640
Speaker 2: I know, but the Patriots didn't waste any time, you know,

242
00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:08,840
Speaker 2: hiring their new head coach. Craft hired Mayo. Yeah, I

243
00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:12,000
Speaker 2: love that Craft and Mayo. Gerard Mayo is a new

244
00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:14,920
Speaker 2: head coach of the Patriots. He played for Bill Belichick.

245
00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:16,839
Speaker 2: He won a Super Bowl in twenty fourteen. He's been

246
00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:20,560
Speaker 2: the Patriots linebackers coach since twenty nineteen, so he's coached

247
00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:25,760
Speaker 2: under Bill and last year the Panthers requested an interview,

248
00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:29,520
Speaker 2: Mayo declined the interview. It's now been reported that the

249
00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:31,680
Speaker 2: Patriots and Ford Mayo last year that he would be

250
00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:33,920
Speaker 2: the next in line to be the head coach. So

251
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:37,000
Speaker 2: this is this didn't come as a surprise to anybody

252
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:39,400
Speaker 2: within the organization or anybody that kind of had that

253
00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:43,280
Speaker 2: understanding of what was next. But it also kind of

254
00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:46,160
Speaker 2: feels like they're doing the same thing, right. This is

255
00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:51,040
Speaker 2: another Bill guy, He's another defensive guy. Doesn't have the

256
00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:54,720
Speaker 2: head coaching experience, but they are taking a risk on

257
00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:56,720
Speaker 2: a younger guy, similar to kind of what the Rams

258
00:11:56,720 --> 00:11:57,600
Speaker 2: did with Sean McVay.

259
00:11:57,679 --> 00:11:59,880
Speaker 3: Mayo is thirty seven years old. He's a part.

260
00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:04,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's a part of the Patriots family. The Patriots way.

261
00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:07,280
Speaker 2: It's such a specific culture and a way that they

262
00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:10,000
Speaker 2: do things there, So you kind of knew it was

263
00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:12,880
Speaker 2: going to be someone that was connected the Patriots.

264
00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:15,679
Speaker 4: I'm so surprised about it, But clearly they had decided this.

265
00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:17,520
Speaker 4: Now did they know that they were going to have

266
00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:22,959
Speaker 4: this many coaches available at this time because obviously this

267
00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:24,800
Speaker 4: was in the contract and I think it was supposed to.

268
00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:27,200
Speaker 3: Happen next year. Yeah, they just sped it up.

269
00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:31,040
Speaker 4: It was the worst season, as you said, Dollar, Yeah,

270
00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:33,600
Speaker 4: you know it wasn't working. They sped it up. But

271
00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:36,720
Speaker 4: it's like, I wonder how they feel, Like if Robert

272
00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:38,880
Speaker 4: Kraft is like, man, look at all these available coaches.

273
00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:41,599
Speaker 4: I just he didn't know this was going to be

274
00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:44,840
Speaker 4: the situation. I am surprised that they though had already

275
00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:48,600
Speaker 4: decided because of he's he is not a product of

276
00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:51,440
Speaker 4: Bill Belichick, but he has been under Belichick in so

277
00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:53,240
Speaker 4: many ways as a player and as a coach, you

278
00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:54,720
Speaker 4: can only imagine there's going to be a lot of

279
00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:56,320
Speaker 4: similarities in the way.

280
00:12:56,640 --> 00:12:58,240
Speaker 3: Definitely the Patriots move forward.

281
00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:00,559
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you have to remember the Paytriots are in

282
00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:03,640
Speaker 2: position to get a top quarterback with the third overall

283
00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:07,280
Speaker 2: draft pick, so that could be a key piece to

284
00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:09,280
Speaker 2: Mayo's success.

285
00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:09,560
Speaker 3: Right.

286
00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:14,160
Speaker 2: The roster they have right now is not good enough, obviously,

287
00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:19,560
Speaker 2: the record shows that, and they need pieces, they need

288
00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:20,520
Speaker 2: to upgrade some pieces.

289
00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:22,480
Speaker 3: There's a lot of top quarterbacks in the draft, Kaleb.

290
00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:26,559
Speaker 2: Williams, Drake may Jiden Daniels, Heisman winner, Michael PENNOCKX Junior

291
00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:31,080
Speaker 2: bo Nix, Like, there's plenty of to figure out who you.

292
00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:33,600
Speaker 3: Think is going to work best within your system.

293
00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:36,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, and I guess it helps the Patriots that Mayo

294
00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:38,760
Speaker 4: has been there, right, So he's not stepping into something

295
00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:41,480
Speaker 4: brand new, which is a positive. Yeah, he's stepping into

296
00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:42,679
Speaker 4: something he's familiar with.

297
00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:45,000
Speaker 3: Yeah. That has to help him in the long run.

298
00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:47,959
Speaker 4: So even though he is a rookie coach, Yeah, he's

299
00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:50,360
Speaker 4: not that rookie coming into that organization.

300
00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:52,600
Speaker 2: No, no, no, no, no, no, not totally no, Yeah, which is.

301
00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:53,679
Speaker 3: A good thing for him. Yeah.

302
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:56,800
Speaker 2: Okay, we're gonna do one more here just because we'll

303
00:13:56,840 --> 00:13:58,920
Speaker 2: stay in the NFL keep college coaches for the next

304
00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:03,720
Speaker 2: segment here, But Carol and the Seahawks. Pete also didn't

305
00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:05,880
Speaker 2: feel like he was done as of now. He's going

306
00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:07,679
Speaker 2: to be an advisor for the Seahawks and they moved

307
00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:11,520
Speaker 2: him from the field to the front office. But if

308
00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:14,000
Speaker 2: he gets another offer to be a head coach, I

309
00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:16,040
Speaker 2: believe he's out of there.

310
00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:20,000
Speaker 3: In a moment and he goes back to college. Interesting.

311
00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:24,960
Speaker 3: What if he goes back to very very interesting?

312
00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:27,760
Speaker 2: I mean, and even in his presser he said he

313
00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:30,960
Speaker 2: wanted he fucked, yeah, he fun ye to stay the

314
00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:31,400
Speaker 2: head coach.

315
00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:34,600
Speaker 8: I see it one way, and I think I got

316
00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:36,640
Speaker 8: a way to fix it, and I'm not going to

317
00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:38,280
Speaker 8: kind of halfway fix it. I'm trying to fix it

318
00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:41,320
Speaker 8: so it's perfect. So I've got, you know, real precise

319
00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:44,840
Speaker 8: and specific thoughts. And they may not see it that way.

320
00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:46,760
Speaker 8: They may not agree with it, they may not see

321
00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:48,920
Speaker 8: that that's the right answer. Well, that's not the answer

322
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:52,800
Speaker 8: that makes them feel good. And the difficult part, if

323
00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:55,680
Speaker 8: you guys could know, it's really hard because they're not

324
00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:58,640
Speaker 8: football people, you know, they're not coaches and so to

325
00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:01,240
Speaker 8: get to the real detail of it, it's really difficult.

326
00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:05,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, he was he did not know he was shut us.

327
00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:07,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, you could tell he was shook a little. He

328
00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:12,320
Speaker 2: wasn't ready for it. Yeah, I could see Pete coaching

329
00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:15,960
Speaker 2: again again for Sure's who's who's gonna want to take

330
00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:17,800
Speaker 2: a chance on, you know.

331
00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:20,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, he's gonna go back to college and Russell Wilson's

332

Speaker 2: Yeah, you're listening to Fox Sports Saturday. I'm Alex Curry

373
00:16:56,920 --> 00:16:59,640
Speaker 2: here with Manti Bilanyos. We are broadcasting live from the

374
00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:03,360
Speaker 2: Tyro dot Com studios in Los Angeles, and you guys,

375
00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:07,399
Speaker 2: as we talked about in the first segment, this is

376
00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:09,760
Speaker 2: the week for head coaches. We didn't get to hit

377
00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:13,240
Speaker 2: Nick Saban in the first segment, so I just want

378
00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:15,520
Speaker 2: to give him his flowers because he officially retired from

379
00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:21,119
Speaker 2: Alabama and it feels like Saban is actually done coaching.

380
00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:22,200
Speaker 3: He said.

381
00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:24,399
Speaker 2: Obviously he's going to stick around to help with the transition.

382
00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:28,280
Speaker 2: But what an incredible career. Seven national championships, six with Bama,

383
00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:31,120
Speaker 2: won with LSU, five time SEC Coach of the Year,

384
00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:34,400
Speaker 2: two hundred and ninety seven career wins, US fifth all time,

385
00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:36,600
Speaker 2: twenty eight years of greatness, and.

386
00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:38,880
Speaker 4: Just like, I like that, twenty eight years of greatness.

387
00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:41,159
Speaker 2: Yeah, some of the NFL players that he produced. Let

388
00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:42,119
Speaker 2: me just I saw that.

389
00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:43,919
Speaker 4: Listen, You're just like, are you kidding me?

390
00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:44,520
Speaker 3: It's insane.

391
00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:48,360
Speaker 2: Quarterbacks Jalen Hurts, Tua, Bryce Young, Mac Jones, running back

392
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:52,640
Speaker 2: Derrick Henry, Josh Jacobs, Naji Harris, mark Ingram, Trent Richardson,

393
00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:55,920
Speaker 2: wide receiver, Julio Jones, Amari Cooper, DeVante Smith, Jalen Watal,

394
00:17:56,000 --> 00:18:00,879
Speaker 2: Jerry Judy, Calvin Ridley, like this man nose how to

395
00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:02,919
Speaker 2: form and create talent.

396
00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:04,600
Speaker 3: So congratulations.

397
00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:08,480
Speaker 2: I can't imagine how excited every team in college football

398
00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:11,439
Speaker 2: is right now to not have Nick Saban still coaching,

399
00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:15,800
Speaker 2: except for Washington, because just two days after he retired,

400
00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:20,200
Speaker 2: Alabama offered Washington's head coach Kaylin to bore the job.

401
00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:24,800
Speaker 3: So that's uh, that was quick. Yeah, they had to.

402
00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:26,800
Speaker 2: You got to think about it has to be quick

403
00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:31,480
Speaker 2: because of the transfer portal, because of just everything involved

404
00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:34,080
Speaker 2: with players and how quickly they will move on from

405
00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:36,160
Speaker 2: a team depending on the coach and the situation.

406
00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:39,720
Speaker 3: And you gotta, you gotta, you gotta keep it rolling.

407
00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:40,320
Speaker 3: You know.

408
00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:42,280
Speaker 4: Do you think Washington players are upset?

409
00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:43,280
Speaker 11: Oh?

410
00:18:43,359 --> 00:18:45,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, right, Like I would be so mad. We just

411
00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:47,720
Speaker 3: went to the championship. Ye, they're going to transference them.

412
00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:50,719
Speaker 2: We're gonna go with that probably yeah, oh yeah, they

413
00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:55,560
Speaker 2: leaves so nice. Caleb Williams, Hello, yeah, all right, but

414
00:18:55,680 --> 00:18:58,200
Speaker 2: let's shine a light on the champ you guys. Congrats

415
00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:02,560
Speaker 2: to Jim Harbor for overcoming all of the adversity and

416
00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:07,480
Speaker 2: winning the national championship. Michigan's first title since nineteen ninety seven.

417
00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:11,399
Speaker 2: Is the last time it's a fourteen playoff format. They

418
00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:15,960
Speaker 2: went undefeated, fifteen to zero, and they just absolutely dominated Washington.

419
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:16,840
Speaker 3: They really did, like.

420
00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:21,960
Speaker 2: It's it was not close, which is weird because it

421
00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:26,320
Speaker 2: felt like Pennix couldn't miss a pass against Texas and

422
00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:30,359
Speaker 2: then he just was not the same guy against Michigan.

423
00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:33,240
Speaker 4: Give it up for Michigan. Their game plan was way

424
00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:36,879
Speaker 4: more effective than whatever game plan Washington had and I had.

425
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:39,680
Speaker 4: I took Washington, You took that. You took Michigan's texting

426
00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:43,040
Speaker 4: you during Yeah, and you're right, Like the score, you know,

427
00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:46,679
Speaker 4: Michigan came out hot and the score stayed relatively close,

428
00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:50,480
Speaker 4: but the game didn't look close. That's what the problem was,

429
00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:53,159
Speaker 4: even though they didn't score again until the end. But

430
00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:56,080
Speaker 4: it was like Michael Pennock Junior did not look the

431
00:19:56,119 --> 00:19:58,440
Speaker 4: way we had seen him throughout the entire season.

432
00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:02,040
Speaker 2: Now, Jim Harbaugh absolutely USh, yeah, that that game plan.

433
00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:05,639
Speaker 2: So now the big question is will he stay or

434
00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:09,359
Speaker 2: will he move on and move back to the NFL,

435
00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:11,800
Speaker 2: because if he does, he's going to be the flashiest name,

436
00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:14,480
Speaker 2: one of the flashiest names on the market.

437
00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:16,200
Speaker 3: Plus you have to take into consideration.

438
00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:19,480
Speaker 2: You know, the NCAA is still investigating all of the allegations,

439
00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:23,200
Speaker 2: correcting allegations, everything that went down this year. I say,

440
00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:25,080
Speaker 2: you get out of there, have a fresh start, knowing

441
00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:28,280
Speaker 2: that you accomplish and you know, reach the ultimate goal

442
00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:31,160
Speaker 2: that you were trying to do at Michigan, and now

443
00:20:31,359 --> 00:20:34,800
Speaker 2: try to accomplish that next goal, which is win a

444
00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:36,080
Speaker 2: super Bowl in the NFL.

445
00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:39,640
Speaker 3: But Harbo was actually asked about that this week during

446
00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:41,240
Speaker 3: his presser, and.

447
00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:44,520
Speaker 8: All those accomplishments in the big person's table, would you

448
00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:45,960
Speaker 8: want to add winning a super Bowl to that?

449
00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:49,680
Speaker 12: I just want to enjoy this. I just want to

450
00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:53,159
Speaker 12: enjoy this kind of hope you give me that, you know,

451
00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:57,679
Speaker 12: kind of guy have that? Does it? Does it always

452
00:20:57,720 --> 00:21:01,000
Speaker 12: have to be? You know what's next? What's what's the future?

453
00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:02,280
Speaker 8: You know?

454
00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:03,840
Speaker 12: Like I said the other day, Yeah, I hope. I

455
00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:07,520
Speaker 12: hope to have a future. Hope there's a tomorrow, a

456
00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:10,520
Speaker 12: day after tomorrow, you know, and next week and next month,

457
00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:11,600
Speaker 12: the next year.

458
00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:15,280
Speaker 3: He's great, he is great. It's a perfect great point.

459
00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:18,399
Speaker 3: Can we just enjoy this like and it's true, yes, But.

460
00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:23,160
Speaker 2: But if he is moving on to the NFL, these

461
00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:26,879
Speaker 2: teams need to figure out their head coaching position fairly quickly.

462
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:30,040
Speaker 3: So what's the best landing spot for Jim Harbaugh And

463
00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:34,679
Speaker 3: why is it the Chargers just putting it out there.

464
00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:36,960
Speaker 3: I was listening to the.

465
00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:42,679
Speaker 2: NFL network this morning. There were reports that he has

466
00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:46,200
Speaker 2: a meeting set with the Chargers. The Chargers obviously keeping

467
00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:48,520
Speaker 2: options open, but are willing to do whatever it takes

468
00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:49,840
Speaker 2: if this is where he wants to go.

469
00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:52,400
Speaker 3: I personally think it's the best fit.

470
00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:54,440
Speaker 2: They have their franchise quarterback, they have a lot of

471
00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:55,960
Speaker 2: weapons and pieces in place.

472
00:21:56,080 --> 00:21:57,960
Speaker 3: The GM spot is open, so he could have a

473
00:21:58,040 --> 00:22:00,720
Speaker 3: say with who he works with. Full place to.

474
00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:04,639
Speaker 2: Live biased of course, it's my hometown and he can

475
00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:06,359
Speaker 2: walk in and just have a great team in place.

476
00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:07,000
Speaker 5: Yeah.

477
00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:10,000
Speaker 4: I still think there's a really big chance he stays

478
00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:13,040
Speaker 4: in Michigan, and I think we're waiting. There's stories out

479
00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:16,400
Speaker 4: there that he wants to be where he's wanted the most,

480
00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:19,119
Speaker 4: and that he wants confirmation from Michigan that if the

481
00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:21,840
Speaker 4: NCAA comes in here they're going to protect him. That

482
00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:24,600
Speaker 4: he wants that. There's also that he wants to stay

483
00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:27,639
Speaker 4: with JJ McCarthy. He has not declared for the draft yet.

484
00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:30,879
Speaker 3: They haven't until Monday, so I think it's really like

485
00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:36,639
Speaker 3: stay or the Chargers. But JJ McCarthy if he declares.

486
00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:39,399
Speaker 4: For the draft, everybody is pointing to he would probably

487
00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:42,360
Speaker 4: fall for maybe number thirteenth. You know who has thirteenth

488
00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:45,879
Speaker 4: pick the Raiders. So it's like he could go to

489
00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:46,800
Speaker 4: the Raiders.

490
00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:48,399
Speaker 3: Now and then they would draft J. J. McCarthy.

491
00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:52,640
Speaker 2: Antonio Peers is like, right, he's the players are right

492
00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:56,000
Speaker 2: or die for the head coach right now. Yes, that

493
00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:58,080
Speaker 2: he would request a trade if he doesn't get up

494
00:22:58,119 --> 00:23:00,760
Speaker 2: if Antonio Peers is not the next head coach. I

495
00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:04,720
Speaker 2: think it would hurt Raiders team morale if Pierce wasn't hired,

496
00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:10,040
Speaker 2: and Harbaugh would not feel wanted, like he wants to

497
00:23:10,160 --> 00:23:13,359
Speaker 2: feel wanted, as you just mentioned by the players as

498
00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:17,399
Speaker 2: much as if he was at Chargers or Michigan. I

499
00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:18,879
Speaker 2: don't think he's staying at Mission just because of all

500
00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:19,600
Speaker 2: the NCAAs.

501
00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:22,040
Speaker 4: Did you also happen to hear what he said to

502
00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:25,040
Speaker 4: Scott van Pell after he won the Natty. He said

503
00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:27,680
Speaker 4: he asked him, He's like, so, when do you guys

504
00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:30,280
Speaker 4: start practice again? He's like, well, we usually start practice

505
00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:32,639
Speaker 4: on February fourteenth because we love football, but we're going

506
00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:34,119
Speaker 4: to push it back one month and enjoy it, so

507
00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:36,159
Speaker 4: we're gonna start in March. That's what he said to

508
00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:38,480
Speaker 4: Scott van pel Yeah. So it's like I'm telling you.

509
00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:40,919
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, because right now he hasn't made a decision.

510
00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:42,639
Speaker 2: He is still the head coach at Michigan. So you

511
00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:46,000
Speaker 2: have to stay in that mentality until you make a public,

512
00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:48,000
Speaker 2: proper decision of where you're gonna go.

513
00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:49,480
Speaker 3: But we got it right now. We got to check

514
00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:52,240
Speaker 3: in with Eddie Garcia to see what's trending.

515
00:23:56,800 --> 00:23:57,000
Speaker 5: Well.

516
00:23:57,240 --> 00:24:01,160
Speaker 6: NFL Super Wild Card weekend is about to get underway.

517
00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:04,240
Speaker 6: They are ready to go in Houston where they Texans

518
00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:07,520
Speaker 6: are hosting the Cleveland Browns. Cleveland checks in eleven and

519
00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:10,560
Speaker 6: six Houston, the AFC South winners are ten and seven,

520
00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:12,040
Speaker 6: but they win the division so they get to host

521
00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:15,000
Speaker 6: the game. These two teams did face each other week sixteen.

522
00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:17,000
Speaker 6: That was a thirty six to twenty two win for

523
00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:19,400
Speaker 6: the Browns and aw CJ Stroud, the star rookie quarterback

524
00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:21,359
Speaker 6: for the Texans, did not play in that game. He

525
00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:23,880
Speaker 6: was out with a concussion. Joe Flacco, the old veteran

526
00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:26,560
Speaker 6: who joined the team late for Cleveland, was the quarterback

527
00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:29,520
Speaker 6: in that game for the Browns. One injury. Note of

528
00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:32,320
Speaker 6: in this one, the Cleveland kicker Dustin Hopkins is out,

529
00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:35,200

Speaker 6: That was a Kansas City twenty one fourteen victory. There

00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:46,560
Speaker 2: That's it, Hi, ladies, Happy Saturday, Happy Saturday, Nikki. Let's

575
00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:50,679
Speaker 2: start with Wildcard weekend RAMS taken on the lines tomorrow art.

576
00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:54,480
Speaker 2: There are so many great storylines surrounding this game, the

577
00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:58,639
Speaker 2: biggest being Matthew Stafford returning to Detroit fans wanting to

578
00:26:58,800 --> 00:27:03,280
Speaker 2: ban stafford journey. How has this been affecting the locker

579
00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:05,560
Speaker 2: room motivating the Rams locker room?

580
00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:08,400
Speaker 13: First of all, I love the move by Detroit.

581
00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:12,520
Speaker 11: You know they they've celebrated and heralded Matthew Stafford. He's

582
00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:15,280
Speaker 11: had his time there, but now they realize this is

583
00:27:15,359 --> 00:27:17,840
Speaker 11: a moment they've been waiting for over three decades for

584
00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:21,480
Speaker 11: to have that playoff game, get that playoff win. So

585
00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:26,000
Speaker 11: bravo to the fans. In the great City of Motown, right,

586
00:27:26,119 --> 00:27:29,280
Speaker 11: But when you talk about how it's affecting the Rams.

587
00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:33,040
Speaker 11: All the veterans spoke this week from Matthew Stafford, Cooper Cup,

588
00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:36,480
Speaker 11: Aaron Donald, and each one took the podium with the

589
00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:41,080
Speaker 11: same kind of approach as that, you know, just another game, obviously,

590
00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:45,520
Speaker 11: Matthew Stafford saying I'm not expecting anything. I know I'm

591
00:27:45,560 --> 00:27:46,760
Speaker 11: coming in as a bad guy.

592
00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:48,640
Speaker 13: I'm excited for the opportunity.

593
00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:51,080
Speaker 11: But he also added the biggest thing is to continue

594
00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:54,000
Speaker 11: to trust what we've been doing, because the Rams were

595
00:27:54,040 --> 00:27:56,320
Speaker 11: three and six at the bye week, and he says

596
00:27:56,359 --> 00:27:58,160
Speaker 11: they've been in playoff mode ever since then.

597
00:27:58,280 --> 00:27:59,639
Speaker 13: But if you really take a.

598
00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:02,479
Speaker 11: Step back and look big picture, like these guys can

599
00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:04,800
Speaker 11: talk to talk of being cool, calm, collected and not

600
00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:07,360
Speaker 11: being faced by, you know, the stage.

601
00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:08,240
Speaker 13: That they're about to set foot on.

602
00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:11,920
Speaker 11: But I think even Matthew Stafford, if you you know,

603
00:28:12,119 --> 00:28:15,160
Speaker 11: really poked at him and asked what he's feeling internally,

604
00:28:15,640 --> 00:28:18,240
Speaker 11: it's going to be an emotional return without a doubt.

605
00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:18,720
Speaker 3: Oh yeah.

606
00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:22,040
Speaker 2: Now, speaking of emotion, it's the first time in NFL

607
00:28:22,119 --> 00:28:26,640
Speaker 2: history two quarterbacks are playing. They're former teams in the playoffs,

608
00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:30,000
Speaker 2: So there is going to be so much emotion.

609
00:28:30,280 --> 00:28:33,360
Speaker 3: In this game. But also I don't think most people

610
00:28:33,520 --> 00:28:35,239
Speaker 3: thought that the Rams were going to be here.

611
00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:38,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, this was a quote rebuild season for the Rams,

612
00:28:38,800 --> 00:28:40,800
Speaker 2: and now Sean McVay has them in the playoffs and

613
00:28:40,920 --> 00:28:45,720
Speaker 2: looking extremely dangerous. What's been the most impressive thing about

614
00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:46,600
Speaker 2: the Rams this season?

615
00:28:47,280 --> 00:28:48,880
Speaker 13: Well, when you talk about that.

616
00:28:49,240 --> 00:28:51,960
Speaker 11: You know, nobody saw this coming.

617
00:28:52,120 --> 00:28:55,800
Speaker 13: I don't think anybody saw the emergence of Kiren.

618
00:28:55,520 --> 00:28:59,080
Speaker 11: And Puka Nakua as these two rookie stars in the

619
00:28:59,240 --> 00:29:03,520
Speaker 11: Rams offensive unit right, which they've just really powered and

620
00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:06,920
Speaker 11: been options for Matthew Stafford, taken the load off of

621
00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:10,240
Speaker 11: someone like Super Cups. So I would say that's been

622
00:29:10,600 --> 00:29:14,120
Speaker 11: the most pleasant surprise about this quote unquote rebuild year

623
00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:18,840
Speaker 11: is that these guys delivered when when all expectations weren't

624
00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:21,560
Speaker 11: even there. And it's it's been so fun to watch.

625
00:29:21,880 --> 00:29:25,360
Speaker 11: Puka naku is such a humble kid, and it's it's

626
00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:28,640
Speaker 11: when you see them breaking records and having everyone in

627
00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:31,440
Speaker 11: the around the league saying their names because they're not

628
00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:34,240
Speaker 11: just you know, dominant as rookies in their own rights

629
00:29:34,640 --> 00:29:37,880
Speaker 11: in their respective positions. They've had stand out seasons as

630
00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:39,600
Speaker 11: some of the best in the league. So for me,

631
00:29:39,760 --> 00:29:41,800
Speaker 11: that's something I have truly enjoyed.

632
00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:43,080
Speaker 13: About this Rams team.

633
00:29:43,160 --> 00:29:45,840
Speaker 11: And I think if you even talked to Rams fans

634
00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:49,080
Speaker 11: about this playoff game, and I've had these conversations with

635
00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:52,520
Speaker 11: some casual fans around me, is that, you know, being

636
00:29:53,120 --> 00:29:56,600
Speaker 11: being cheerleaders of Jared Goff and his journey, they would

637
00:29:56,920 --> 00:29:59,200
Speaker 11: they would not be upset if the Lions were the

638
00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:03,200
Speaker 11: ones to walk way victorious. And Rams nation is well

639
00:30:03,280 --> 00:30:05,560
Speaker 11: aware that if the Rams win this game, you know,

640
00:30:05,680 --> 00:30:09,160
Speaker 11: it's the task and the test gets taller and more

641
00:30:09,280 --> 00:30:12,360
Speaker 11: challenging as the playoffs progress. So I think if you

642
00:30:12,480 --> 00:30:14,760
Speaker 11: are a Rams fan, I know there are no moral

643
00:30:14,840 --> 00:30:17,160
Speaker 11: victories here, but I don't think you can lose in

644
00:30:17,240 --> 00:30:18,520
Speaker 11: this kid. I think it's awesome.

645
00:30:18,760 --> 00:30:23,480
Speaker 3: I'm with you on that. No, yeah, I no, you

646
00:30:23,600 --> 00:30:26,920
Speaker 3: are gone. It is gone. You are you are the

647
00:30:27,120 --> 00:30:30,560
Speaker 3: enemy now we are not. We can be friends off

648
00:30:30,600 --> 00:30:32,600
Speaker 3: of the field, but on the field it is on.

649
00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:34,800
Speaker 3: Like Donkey k I think both can be true.

650
00:30:35,320 --> 00:30:37,520
Speaker 11: No, yes, yeah, I think I think both can be

651
00:30:37,600 --> 00:30:40,080
Speaker 11: true to Alex yeah, like bring it on like Donkey ko.

652
00:30:40,560 --> 00:30:43,000
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, I know, of course I'm going to agree

653
00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:43,479
Speaker 3: to disagree.

654
00:30:45,040 --> 00:30:47,760
Speaker 4: All right, Nikki, let's talk about the Chargers this week.

655
00:30:48,160 --> 00:30:52,040
Speaker 4: Just crazy coach wise, retiring people, just being you know,

656
00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:55,320
Speaker 4: let go mutually parting ways. But the Chargers are still

657
00:30:55,680 --> 00:30:58,440
Speaker 4: the talk with who is going to be the next

658
00:30:58,480 --> 00:30:58,960
Speaker 4: head coach?

659
00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:00,720
Speaker 3: What is is that you've heard?

660
00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:03,400
Speaker 4: Obviously, Jim Harba is the name that keeps being attached

661
00:31:03,560 --> 00:31:05,960
Speaker 4: to the Chargers. Alex really wants that.

662
00:31:06,520 --> 00:31:08,520
Speaker 3: Tell her, tell her what you see it.

663
00:31:09,280 --> 00:31:12,920
Speaker 11: Well, I'm with Alex. You know, Harva is so great

664
00:31:13,040 --> 00:31:15,800
Speaker 11: for the sport of football, and how fun of an

665
00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:18,880
Speaker 11: opportunity would that be to have him in our market

666
00:31:18,960 --> 00:31:19,920
Speaker 11: and to engage with him.

667
00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:23,080
Speaker 13: The quote this man says, you know on the daily

668
00:31:23,160 --> 00:31:24,840
Speaker 13: are our gifts.

669
00:31:27,400 --> 00:31:30,160
Speaker 11: It's honestly, I can't get enough of him. And if

670
00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:33,800
Speaker 11: he if he brought all of that to Los Angeles,

671
00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:34,720
Speaker 11: oh my gosh.

672
00:31:34,520 --> 00:31:35,320
Speaker 13: I'd be so excited.

673
00:31:35,360 --> 00:31:38,200
Speaker 11: But I know the latest in terms of tangible candidates

674
00:31:38,280 --> 00:31:41,640
Speaker 11: the Chargers have interviewed. They did interview Todd Monkin, who's

675
00:31:42,520 --> 00:31:46,880
Speaker 11: Baltimore's offensive coordinator, and and you would hope they've all

676
00:31:47,040 --> 00:31:49,600
Speaker 11: that was their fourth coaching candidate they've spoke with. You

677
00:31:49,600 --> 00:31:53,160
Speaker 11: would hope that the Chargers do tend to lean offensively

678
00:31:53,600 --> 00:31:54,960
Speaker 11: with their selection when you've.

679
00:31:54,880 --> 00:31:58,600
Speaker 13: Got, you know, the talent that you have in Justin Herbert.

680
00:31:58,960 --> 00:32:01,840
Speaker 11: And I mean, if we just lean into this Harbond

681
00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:06,800
Speaker 11: native or narrative rather, how would that be him having

682
00:32:06,880 --> 00:32:09,200
Speaker 11: played for the Chargers. I think it was head coach

683
00:32:09,280 --> 00:32:11,800
Speaker 11: of University of San Diego when the Chargers were in

684
00:32:11,960 --> 00:32:14,440
Speaker 11: San Diego. And not to mention, he's a former Court

685
00:32:14,440 --> 00:32:18,280
Speaker 11: of Acts himself. So I'm all for the Harbond narrative

686
00:32:18,400 --> 00:32:24,840
Speaker 11: and storyline. Haven't heard any you know, tangible nuggets that

687
00:32:25,320 --> 00:32:28,000
Speaker 11: he is going to be the guy. But you hope

688
00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:30,840
Speaker 11: the Spanos family at least brings him in for an interview.

689
00:32:31,040 --> 00:32:31,360
Speaker 4: Totally.

690
00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:33,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, thank you. I got chilled as you were like

691
00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:36,040
Speaker 3: listening all those things. I was like, see, it just

692
00:32:36,240 --> 00:32:37,360
Speaker 3: feels right.

693
00:32:37,520 --> 00:32:38,000
Speaker 13: We love a.

694
00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:40,080
Speaker 11: Narrative, We love a good narrative.

695
00:32:40,440 --> 00:32:44,120
Speaker 2: He just he would fit in Hollywood, all right. He's made, Yes,

696
00:32:44,520 --> 00:32:45,640
Speaker 2: he's made for Hollywood.

697
00:32:45,680 --> 00:32:47,880
Speaker 11: Okay, I know he said he wants to be married

698
00:32:47,960 --> 00:32:48,760
Speaker 11: a Michigan man.

699
00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:50,400
Speaker 1: I mean he is.

700
00:32:50,640 --> 00:32:53,720
Speaker 2: He's already like etched in their history books like he

701
00:32:53,800 --> 00:32:54,080
Speaker 2: did that.

702
00:32:54,480 --> 00:32:56,440
Speaker 3: Now let's go to your next gol. Let's move on.

703
00:32:56,480 --> 00:32:58,800
Speaker 2: To the NBA though, because the Lakers have not looked

704
00:32:58,880 --> 00:33:01,160
Speaker 2: great since winning the end season tournament.

705
00:33:01,360 --> 00:33:03,360
Speaker 11: So how about those charges with those Clippers.

706
00:33:03,480 --> 00:33:05,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll get to them a second. We'll get to

707
00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:09,280
Speaker 2: them in a second. Okay, first, so it breaks my

708
00:33:09,320 --> 00:33:11,000
Speaker 2: heart to talk about Lake show right now. But what,

709
00:33:11,760 --> 00:33:13,800
Speaker 2: like can put your finger on it? Like, what is

710
00:33:13,880 --> 00:33:15,360
Speaker 2: the reason for their struggles right now?

711
00:33:16,240 --> 00:33:16,400
Speaker 13: Well?

712
00:33:16,720 --> 00:33:19,800
Speaker 11: I saw this so accurately tweeted by Alan Sliwa, who

713
00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:23,960
Speaker 11: hosts the Lakers radio postgame show. He said, thirty nine.

714
00:33:23,880 --> 00:33:26,640
Speaker 13: Games in, and I still have no clue what this

715
00:33:26,880 --> 00:33:27,400
Speaker 13: team is.

716
00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:32,800
Speaker 11: And the lack of consistency is the underlying route of

717
00:33:33,040 --> 00:33:35,920
Speaker 11: all of this team's issues right now at nineteen and twenty.

718
00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:38,440
Speaker 11: And it is remarkable to think that like just a

719
00:33:38,520 --> 00:33:41,120
Speaker 11: month ago, they were popping champagne and smoking cigars and

720
00:33:41,200 --> 00:33:46,880
Speaker 11: winning the in season tournament. And really, right, you don't

721
00:33:47,200 --> 00:33:50,280
Speaker 11: And another NBA player said, you don't want to be

722
00:33:50,360 --> 00:33:54,600
Speaker 11: playing your best basketball in December and right now, the

723
00:33:54,680 --> 00:33:58,880
Speaker 11: Lakers role players have been kind of plagued by injuries, illnesses, absences.

724
00:33:58,960 --> 00:34:01,080
Speaker 13: For whatever reason, this team.

725
00:34:00,960 --> 00:34:04,680
Speaker 11: Hasn't been able to have consistent rotations, consistent starting lineups,

726
00:34:04,800 --> 00:34:09,040
Speaker 11: consistent finishing lineups, and it's creating issues on the court

727
00:34:09,200 --> 00:34:12,759
Speaker 11: as to be expected, and you know, then you get

728
00:34:12,880 --> 00:34:15,880
Speaker 11: reports coming from the athletics that, like, you know, players

729
00:34:15,920 --> 00:34:17,120
Speaker 11: are unhappy with their.

730
00:34:17,040 --> 00:34:17,560
Speaker 14: Minutes, and.

731
00:34:19,040 --> 00:34:22,600
Speaker 11: As with any Lebron James team about mid season, when

732
00:34:22,680 --> 00:34:26,040
Speaker 11: things aren't going great, then questions about the coaching.

733
00:34:25,760 --> 00:34:28,440
Speaker 13: Stability starts coming in, you know, and so it's just

734
00:34:28,960 --> 00:34:31,239
Speaker 13: it's not what you I.

735
00:34:31,280 --> 00:34:34,120
Speaker 11: Would say, nine times out of tend the franchises that

736
00:34:34,280 --> 00:34:38,040
Speaker 11: go on to win championships in the NBA are a

737
00:34:38,160 --> 00:34:41,440
Speaker 11: source of you know, they're stable and they know what

738
00:34:41,680 --> 00:34:44,799
Speaker 11: Like look at Denver's locker room right now, you don't

739
00:34:44,840 --> 00:34:47,200
Speaker 11: hear anything out of them. And if even if they

740
00:34:47,239 --> 00:34:49,680
Speaker 11: do make moves of the trades trade deadline, you haven't.

741
00:34:49,480 --> 00:34:49,920
Speaker 13: Heard of them.

742
00:34:50,360 --> 00:34:54,680
Speaker 11: So it's it's just interesting. And figure that tru trade

743
00:34:54,680 --> 00:34:58,720
Speaker 11: deadline coming around February eighth, it's going to be intriguing

744
00:34:58,800 --> 00:35:01,360
Speaker 11: to see what moves the Lakers runt office makes.

745
00:35:01,640 --> 00:35:03,719
Speaker 4: Do you think if the Lakers do not make the

746
00:35:03,760 --> 00:35:08,040
Speaker 4: playoffs that the in season tournament just kind of now

747
00:35:08,120 --> 00:35:09,440
Speaker 4: it's like, what's the point of that.

748
00:35:09,760 --> 00:35:13,960
Speaker 2: No, you don't think it was trying to engage everybody right,

749
00:35:14,719 --> 00:35:16,440
Speaker 2: hit the goal, hit the goal when they were trying

750
00:35:16,480 --> 00:35:16,960
Speaker 2: to right.

751
00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:18,799
Speaker 4: But now for the future, if this team doesn't make

752
00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:20,319
Speaker 4: the playoffs, everyone's gonna be like the what's the point

753
00:35:20,320 --> 00:35:21,319
Speaker 4: of the tournament? What does this mean?

754
00:35:21,480 --> 00:35:25,120
Speaker 11: No, is that I don't think you I don't think

755
00:35:25,160 --> 00:35:28,440
Speaker 11: you can correlate right when you talk about causation and correlation.

756
00:35:28,600 --> 00:35:31,240
Speaker 11: I think you can look at like, yes, the Lakers

757
00:35:31,280 --> 00:35:33,480
Speaker 11: when the in season tournament and then they didn't go

758
00:35:33,600 --> 00:35:35,600
Speaker 11: on to win, you know, to make the playoffs. But

759
00:35:35,680 --> 00:35:39,440
Speaker 11: I don't think you say you know because of a

760
00:35:39,960 --> 00:35:42,239
Speaker 11: or a because of the right, Like I don't think

761
00:35:42,320 --> 00:35:42,920
Speaker 11: one thing.

762
00:35:43,200 --> 00:35:43,880
Speaker 13: Leads to the other.

763
00:35:43,960 --> 00:35:46,960
Speaker 11: I think it would be maybe more an indication of

764
00:35:47,600 --> 00:35:50,920
Speaker 11: the roster building and the talent that ultimately the Lakers

765
00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:51,560
Speaker 11: were working with.

766
00:35:52,120 --> 00:35:54,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, speaking of identity, the Clippers, I think I found

767
00:35:54,200 --> 00:35:56,440
Speaker 4: their identity and again yeah they did. You know, Oh

768
00:35:56,480 --> 00:35:58,120
Speaker 4: my god, I've seen five six in a row with

769
00:35:58,239 --> 00:36:00,960
Speaker 4: James Harden. They seem to know what they're doing. And

770
00:36:01,120 --> 00:36:03,279
Speaker 4: big thing that I see tell me if I'm wrong.

771
00:36:03,480 --> 00:36:06,640
Speaker 4: They seem to be like happy and like having to fly.

772
00:36:06,920 --> 00:36:07,440
Speaker 3: That's the key.

773
00:36:07,760 --> 00:36:11,640
Speaker 11: Well and Monty, I have to give you know, all

774
00:36:12,080 --> 00:36:14,800
Speaker 11: the credit to James Harden here because I spoke to

775
00:36:14,920 --> 00:36:17,279
Speaker 11: someone on the Clippers coaching staff and I said, what

776
00:36:17,520 --> 00:36:22,280
Speaker 11: is working and why? And you talk about James Harden

777
00:36:22,360 --> 00:36:27,360
Speaker 11: and what he brings offensively to this Clippers team. He

778
00:36:27,880 --> 00:36:31,600
Speaker 11: has been putting in the work after practice to develop

779
00:36:31,680 --> 00:36:35,480
Speaker 11: pick and roll chemistry with role players, building their confidence.

780
00:36:35,600 --> 00:36:38,239
Speaker 11: But not only that, his presence in the pick and roll.

781
00:36:38,560 --> 00:36:42,040
Speaker 11: I mean, Paul George went on to have thirty seven

782
00:36:42,040 --> 00:36:44,359
Speaker 11: points and thirty five minutes last night, and he made

783
00:36:44,400 --> 00:36:46,439
Speaker 11: it look easy. He didn't have to work too hard

784
00:36:46,520 --> 00:36:50,840
Speaker 11: for those he because of the gravity that James has.

785
00:36:50,800 --> 00:36:53,480
Speaker 13: On the court. So what you're saying is a group.

786
00:36:53,280 --> 00:36:56,120
Speaker 11: Of veteran players who really get it, and.

787
00:36:56,160 --> 00:36:58,719
Speaker 13: That get that, you know, not every guy has to have.

788
00:36:58,760 --> 00:37:02,560
Speaker 11: A big night every night, and that maturity is really

789
00:37:02,640 --> 00:37:07,320
Speaker 11: helping them develop and become I would put them in

790
00:37:07,400 --> 00:37:09,799
Speaker 11: a championship contender this right now?

791
00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:12,480

00:37:18,840 --> 00:37:22,400

Speaker 3: But now the game is moved to Monday.

829
00:38:45,719 --> 00:38:48,840
Speaker 2: So I'm curious if if it's still crazy, they'll probably

830
00:38:48,960 --> 00:38:52,800
Speaker 2: do that then Sunday or like all of Monday. And

831
00:38:52,920 --> 00:38:56,920

836
00:39:05,719 --> 00:39:08,120
Speaker 3: love that. All right, I've got a du.

837
00:39:08,160 --> 00:39:12,440
Speaker 4: And this is great. So there are regulations where sometimes

838
00:39:12,520 --> 00:39:14,520
Speaker 4: you can't use a highlight, right if a game is

839
00:39:14,560 --> 00:39:17,520
Speaker 4: going on. Okay, so this guy, Sam Ali, the sports

840
00:39:17,560 --> 00:39:21,200
Speaker 4: director for mid Michigan, now big Michigan fan, the game

841
00:39:21,320 --> 00:39:24,360
Speaker 4: is going on, he's working, he can't use highlights, so

842
00:39:24,600 --> 00:39:29,120
Speaker 4: he draws like pictures of the players, and these illustrations

843
00:39:29,200 --> 00:39:31,920
Speaker 4: come up and he's like, oh, Donovan Edwards and it's

844
00:39:31,920 --> 00:39:33,200
Speaker 4: a stick figure with the jersey.

845
00:39:33,480 --> 00:39:35,719
Speaker 3: Wait, dude, so good.

846
00:39:35,840 --> 00:39:38,440
Speaker 4: And then at the end it's harball holding a trophy

847
00:39:38,520 --> 00:39:40,560
Speaker 4: and like draw like he just did him on the spot.

848
00:39:40,680 --> 00:39:41,920
Speaker 3: That's cute, and used it.

849
00:39:42,320 --> 00:39:45,200
Speaker 4: To tell what was happening in the Michigan Washington game.

850
00:39:45,400 --> 00:39:46,759
Speaker 4: So good, so good.

851
00:39:47,000 --> 00:39:47,520
Speaker 3: I love that.

852
00:39:47,800 --> 00:39:53,680
Speaker 2: Okay, another dude, do support and surprise your former teammates

853
00:39:53,880 --> 00:39:57,800
Speaker 2: family coaches. So Russell Wilson surprise Pete Carroll at his

854
00:39:57,960 --> 00:40:01,040
Speaker 2: farewell party earth like you know, yeah, farewell from coaching.

855
00:40:01,120 --> 00:40:04,480
Speaker 2: He's still in the front office as of now in Seattle,

856
00:40:04,600 --> 00:40:06,719
Speaker 2: which was interesting because he didn't have a great ending

857
00:40:06,760 --> 00:40:08,880
Speaker 2: a couple of years ago. But Russ is probably missing

858
00:40:08,960 --> 00:40:11,760
Speaker 2: Meete now compared to what he's dealing with in Denver,

859
00:40:11,880 --> 00:40:13,400
Speaker 2: being told they don't really know what his future is.

860
00:40:13,400 --> 00:40:15,040
Speaker 3: They haven't made a decision yet, and he's just.

861
00:40:15,080 --> 00:40:18,160
Speaker 2: Like, Pete, I miss you what we had, Like, wasn't

862
00:40:18,200 --> 00:40:20,200
Speaker 2: that bad. You don't realize what you got till it's gone.

863
00:40:20,440 --> 00:40:22,840
Speaker 2: It's true, perfect scenario, it's true.

864
00:40:23,040 --> 00:40:26,320
Speaker 4: Uh big, don't don't boo a dead man. Did you

00:40:27,680 --> 00:40:29,920
Speaker 3: Jerry Cross in his heartbreaking I know, y'all, this is

867
00:40:30,080 --> 00:40:30,360
Speaker 3: just like.

868

Speaker 3: The guy, And it's just like that.

00:42:10,840 --> 00:42:12,799
Speaker 2: right We don't know what it's gonna be, but it's

905
00:42:12,880 --> 00:42:15,120

906
00:42:15,120 --> 00:42:18,480
Speaker 2: go through every game in order. Okay, we're gonna share

907
00:42:18,800 --> 00:42:21,279
Speaker 2: who needs to win more and why. You give me

908
00:42:21,360 --> 00:42:23,239
Speaker 2: your thoughts as to why are there any jobs on

909
00:42:23,320 --> 00:42:26,799
Speaker 2: the line like that? What is what's the low down here?

910
00:42:26,920 --> 00:42:27,120
Speaker 4: Yeah?

911
00:42:27,160 --> 00:42:29,640
Speaker 2: Okay, so let's get started with the game that's happening

912
00:42:30,400 --> 00:42:32,960
Speaker 2: right now. Okay, Brown's at Texans. As we mentioned, the

913
00:42:33,000 --> 00:42:36,279
Speaker 2: game is underway. Houston is up three nothing in the

914
00:42:36,520 --> 00:42:41,080
Speaker 2: first but the Browns are on a good little run

915
00:42:41,840 --> 00:42:43,680
Speaker 2: right now. We'll let you know if anything happens. There

916
00:42:44,200 --> 00:42:46,760
Speaker 2: two incredible quarterback stories here, right you have Joe Flacco

917
00:42:46,800 --> 00:42:50,000
Speaker 2: and the Browns who came off the couch went four

918
00:42:50,080 --> 00:42:50,480
Speaker 2: and one.

919
00:42:51,520 --> 00:42:55,480
Speaker 3: It's insane. CJ. Stroud, second overall.

920
00:42:55,160 --> 00:42:58,880
Speaker 2: Pick in the draft, you know, just put on a

921
00:42:58,960 --> 00:43:01,960
Speaker 2: rookie of the year camp pain with the rookie head coach.

922
00:43:02,080 --> 00:43:05,040
Speaker 2: But who needs to win more here? First of all,

923
00:43:05,080 --> 00:43:08,799
Speaker 2: the Browns made their bed with Deshaun Watson. Now they're

924
00:43:08,800 --> 00:43:11,200
Speaker 2: stuck with it. That I'm wrong. I think they made

925
00:43:11,200 --> 00:43:13,359
Speaker 2: the wrong move, but they're stuck with it, and now

926
00:43:13,480 --> 00:43:16,759
Speaker 2: they hard just in a quarterback carousel. Okay, and Joe

927
00:43:16,840 --> 00:43:18,680
Speaker 2: Flacco has come to save the day for them. So

928
00:43:18,920 --> 00:43:21,440
Speaker 2: I think the Texans need to win this one more

929
00:43:21,520 --> 00:43:24,160
Speaker 2: to prove that they are the real deal. And a

930
00:43:24,200 --> 00:43:27,319
Speaker 2: playoff win with a rookie quarterback a rookie head coach

931
00:43:27,360 --> 00:43:32,920
Speaker 2: would just be absolutely incredible. Oh Flacco, Oh okay almost

932
00:43:33,200 --> 00:43:34,080
Speaker 2: did he get the touchdown?

933
00:43:34,719 --> 00:43:35,080
Speaker 4: Very close?

934
00:43:35,520 --> 00:43:37,520
Speaker 3: I was close bill yard out.

935
00:43:38,360 --> 00:43:40,600
Speaker 2: It would be their first playoff win since twenty nineteen,

936
00:43:40,600 --> 00:43:44,239
Speaker 2: the Texans that they had with Deshaun watch Watson, and

937
00:43:44,320 --> 00:43:50,360
Speaker 2: they've completely turned this franchise around this year with c J. Stroud,

938
00:43:51,239 --> 00:43:53,200
Speaker 2: and it feels like the Texans are just getting started.

939
00:43:53,280 --> 00:43:55,440
Speaker 2: So I think it would be bigger for them to

940
00:43:55,600 --> 00:43:56,279
Speaker 2: win this game.

941
00:43:56,880 --> 00:44:00,200
Speaker 4: So I think for both of them, they're playing with

942
00:44:00,280 --> 00:44:03,880
Speaker 4: house money. I really think they're both kind of like,

943
00:44:04,200 --> 00:44:09,040
Speaker 4: we're happy to be here type of thing. The Texans, Yeah, no,

944
00:44:09,200 --> 00:44:12,480
Speaker 4: patch Dad, I don't think the Texans touchdown? Yes, and

945
00:44:12,560 --> 00:44:14,160
Speaker 4: maybe a push up while we're at it. Why not

946
00:44:15,280 --> 00:44:20,000
Speaker 4: the Texans a bran new coach, a bran new quarterback.

947
00:44:20,360 --> 00:44:22,400
Speaker 3: I don't think many people thought they were gonna be

948
00:44:22,840 --> 00:44:23,399
Speaker 3: this good.

949
00:44:23,560 --> 00:44:26,600
Speaker 4: They are good, and so I think they're just happy

950
00:44:26,680 --> 00:44:27,120
Speaker 4: to be here.

951
00:44:27,560 --> 00:44:29,000
Speaker 3: With the Browns is the same thing.

952
00:44:29,160 --> 00:44:33,439
Speaker 4: After losing Nick Chubb in what week two? I think

953
00:44:33,760 --> 00:44:36,120
Speaker 4: the Browns were also like, man, what are we gonna do?

954
00:44:36,600 --> 00:44:40,680
Speaker 4: Especially not just Deshaun Watson and that stupid contract he

955
00:44:40,760 --> 00:44:42,560
Speaker 4: hadn't played in how long, Like, I don't think they

956
00:44:42,640 --> 00:44:44,320
Speaker 4: knew what they were gonna do, And the fact that

957
00:44:44,360 --> 00:44:48,120
Speaker 4: they're still here alive and kicking and looking good. I

958
00:44:48,200 --> 00:44:51,120
Speaker 4: feel like they're both playing with house money. Honestly, I

959
00:44:51,880 --> 00:44:54,359
Speaker 4: don't think one needs to win more than the other,

960
00:44:54,400 --> 00:44:56,160
Speaker 4: if I'm being honest for this particular game.

961
00:44:56,840 --> 00:45:00,480
Speaker 2: But this was my toughest game to choose, to choose

962
00:45:00,760 --> 00:45:03,239
Speaker 2: it because I really believe, I mean, it could go

963
00:45:03,520 --> 00:45:04,960
Speaker 2: like Cleveland has.

964
00:45:05,120 --> 00:45:08,759
Speaker 3: The best defense, Yeah, no question. This season, I think CJ.

965
00:45:08,880 --> 00:45:11,520
Speaker 2: Stroud and the Texans are one of the cooler stories

966
00:45:11,560 --> 00:45:15,320
Speaker 2: of turning the season around. So it really can go

967
00:45:16,200 --> 00:45:18,600
Speaker 2: either way. But we'll get We'll get to those picks

968
00:45:19,320 --> 00:45:21,720
Speaker 2: a little later. Let's move on to the game tonight. Okay,

969
00:45:22,360 --> 00:45:26,480
Speaker 2: Dolphins at Chiefs. It's going down the freezer bawl in

970
00:45:27,080 --> 00:45:29,960
Speaker 2: Kansas City. I mean, game conditions are insane.

971
00:45:30,080 --> 00:45:30,640
Speaker 4: I can'not.

972
00:45:30,800 --> 00:45:34,360
Speaker 2: It's like zero below like minus what thirty with a

973
00:45:34,400 --> 00:45:37,239
Speaker 2: wind child, No one can properly function, you guys in

974
00:45:37,360 --> 00:45:38,920
Speaker 2: this weather. We talked about it a little in the

975
00:45:38,960 --> 00:45:42,040
Speaker 2: first first segment top of the show, Like your body

976
00:45:42,160 --> 00:45:45,480
Speaker 2: does not function properly below zero like anything, like so,

977
00:45:45,640 --> 00:45:47,440
Speaker 2: like imagine trying to catch a frozen ball.

978
00:45:48,000 --> 00:45:50,319
Speaker 3: Like imagine trying to throw a frozen ball.

979
00:45:50,680 --> 00:45:54,200
Speaker 2: Feeling conditions like it's going to be a running game,

980
00:45:55,120 --> 00:45:56,080
Speaker 2: a handoff running game.

981
00:45:56,160 --> 00:46:02,319
Speaker 3: Yeah, like it's going to be crazy. Okay, this one,

982
00:46:02,560 --> 00:46:03,600
Speaker 3: this one's really interesting.

983
00:46:03,680 --> 00:46:08,120
Speaker 2: Obviously, Tyreek Hill going home playing his former teammate.

984
00:46:09,040 --> 00:46:13,359
Speaker 3: He had some interesting things to say about that this week.

985
00:46:13,760 --> 00:46:16,200
Speaker 16: I haven't take my home since they beat by ass

986
00:46:17,000 --> 00:46:20,359
Speaker 16: and I takes Kelsey. He still hasn't takes me back.

987
00:46:20,680 --> 00:46:24,080
Speaker 16: He's probably still in his tennis school bag. But yeah, man,

988
00:46:24,760 --> 00:46:27,040
Speaker 16: those guys are too famous film and I guess you.

989
00:46:27,080 --> 00:46:30,600
Speaker 2: Know, good bullet to board material for Tyreek not hearing

990
00:46:30,719 --> 00:46:33,160
Speaker 2: back from Mahomes or Kelsey. But again, like I just said,

991
00:46:33,200 --> 00:46:35,480
Speaker 2: it's dog mentality, like we're not friends right now. We

992
00:46:35,600 --> 00:46:38,200
Speaker 2: are enemies going against each other. But also not the

993
00:46:38,280 --> 00:46:40,960
Speaker 2: usual trash talk that you hear from Tyreek Hill, like

994
00:46:41,200 --> 00:46:43,960
Speaker 2: the week before the game, Like he's not hyping up

995
00:46:43,960 --> 00:46:45,680
Speaker 2: his team, he's not hyping up him in Tua. That

996
00:46:45,800 --> 00:46:47,880
Speaker 2: was kind of like his stick the first half of

997
00:46:47,920 --> 00:46:50,600
Speaker 2: the season when they were rolling. He's probably not going

998
00:46:50,680 --> 00:46:55,680
Speaker 2: to get a ton of passes in these conditions. It's

999
00:46:55,800 --> 00:46:58,359
Speaker 2: interesting here because the Chiefs, I don't I don't think

1000
00:46:58,400 --> 00:47:01,640
Speaker 2: it's as bad. This is weird saying if they lose

1001
00:47:01,680 --> 00:47:04,479
Speaker 2: because they're not their best version of themselves. We've seen

1002
00:47:04,840 --> 00:47:06,840
Speaker 2: the issues they have all season. They don't have a

1003
00:47:06,920 --> 00:47:11,360
Speaker 2: ton of offensive weapons. They have the most drops in

1004
00:47:11,480 --> 00:47:14,040
Speaker 2: the league this season. It feels like it's going to

1005
00:47:14,160 --> 00:47:17,919
Speaker 2: be a very low scoring game with some There's gonna

1006
00:47:17,920 --> 00:47:21,240
Speaker 2: be a lot of luck involved, lucky bounces, lucky slips,

1007
00:47:21,320 --> 00:47:24,960
Speaker 2: lucky whatever it goes. I think the Dolphins have more

1008
00:47:25,000 --> 00:47:27,279
Speaker 2: to prove if they like they need to prove, like

1009
00:47:27,360 --> 00:47:29,399
Speaker 2: to win this to prove like we are the real deal.

1010
00:47:29,760 --> 00:47:31,640
Speaker 4: So I totally agree with you that that's what the

1011
00:47:31,719 --> 00:47:33,920
Speaker 4: Dolphins need the win for to prove that they're not

1012
00:47:34,160 --> 00:47:37,960
Speaker 4: just this offensive powerhouse that can only beat mediocre teams.

1013
00:47:38,040 --> 00:47:39,359
Speaker 3: Right, they have that to prove.

1014
00:47:39,880 --> 00:47:42,120
Speaker 4: But I want to give the edge to Kansas City.

1015
00:47:42,520 --> 00:47:44,840
Speaker 4: They're trying to establish themselves as a dynasty.

1016
00:47:45,000 --> 00:47:47,759
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's that. It's a big picture. Oh, and they

1017
00:47:47,800 --> 00:47:48,400
Speaker 3: definitely are.

1018
00:47:48,520 --> 00:47:50,440
Speaker 4: But this is not that some people aren't giving it

1019
00:47:50,520 --> 00:47:52,879
Speaker 4: to them. And if they don't have it this year,

1020
00:47:53,360 --> 00:47:55,759
Speaker 4: next year with Joe Burrow back, AFC is going to

1021
00:47:55,800 --> 00:47:56,319
Speaker 4: be a lot harder.

1022
00:47:56,480 --> 00:47:59,120
Speaker 2: So I'm big on the like, you need three titles

1023
00:47:59,239 --> 00:48:01,560
Speaker 2: to be considered dynasty. Mahomes has even come out and

1024
00:48:01,600 --> 00:48:03,640
Speaker 2: said so it's yeah, they are.

1025
00:48:04,040 --> 00:48:08,520
Speaker 4: And they also in the midd, I think like next year,

1026
00:48:09,680 --> 00:48:10,880
Speaker 4: to be right.

1027
00:48:11,160 --> 00:48:13,000
Speaker 2: They're gonna go out, they're gonna get weapons, they're gonna

1028
00:48:13,040 --> 00:48:14,560
Speaker 2: they need to And if they don't, like, what are

1029
00:48:14,560 --> 00:48:14,839
Speaker 2: you doing?

1030
00:48:14,920 --> 00:48:17,880
Speaker 4: But the AFC, as we can see, is already looking

1031
00:48:17,960 --> 00:48:20,839
Speaker 4: really good this year. Bring the Bengals next year. Oh,

1032
00:48:21,040 --> 00:48:23,320
Speaker 4: it's gonna be even harder. So you have to you

1033
00:48:23,480 --> 00:48:26,440
Speaker 4: have to win now. And so I'm giving the Chiefs

1034
00:48:26,640 --> 00:48:29,680
Speaker 4: that they they need to win more than the Dolphins.

1035
00:48:30,320 --> 00:48:31,200
Speaker 4: That's I'm gonna give it.

1036
00:48:31,440 --> 00:48:33,759
Speaker 2: Yeah. And also just a reminder us saying who needs

1037
00:48:33,800 --> 00:48:35,920
Speaker 2: to win more is not necessarily who we are picking

1038
00:48:35,960 --> 00:48:38,120
Speaker 2: to win the games. Okay, we're gonna give that later.

1039
00:48:38,239 --> 00:48:41,920
Speaker 2: This is just like who we think needs organization. We

1040
00:48:42,120 --> 00:48:46,279
Speaker 2: obviously like they both need it, right, they need That's

1041
00:48:46,320 --> 00:48:49,359
Speaker 2: how it works. Okay, let's move on to Steelers at Bills,

1042
00:48:49,440 --> 00:48:52,040
Speaker 2: which has officially been moved to Monday at four thirty

1043
00:48:52,040 --> 00:48:59,000
Speaker 2: Eastern due to extreme dangerous weather conditions. But where they

1044
00:48:59,200 --> 00:49:00,960
Speaker 2: they were the next game? You know when we were

1045
00:49:01,000 --> 00:49:04,120
Speaker 2: putting this togetter, but it's got now. It's going to

1046
00:49:04,160 --> 00:49:06,600
Speaker 2: be interesting to see what the weather is like on Monday.

1047
00:49:06,800 --> 00:49:08,840
Speaker 2: If it's as bad, I don't think it's going to

1048
00:49:08,880 --> 00:49:11,120
Speaker 2: be great. I don't like obviously hopefully it's going to

1049
00:49:11,160 --> 00:49:13,680
Speaker 2: be better because they're moving it. So who needs to

1050
00:49:13,800 --> 00:49:16,759
Speaker 2: win more? Here? I am all over the Bills and

1051
00:49:16,840 --> 00:49:19,640
Speaker 2: Josh Allen. The Bills have been super Bowl like in

1052
00:49:19,760 --> 00:49:22,960
Speaker 2: that Super Bowl conversation for years and have underperformed. Now

1053
00:49:23,080 --> 00:49:26,520
Speaker 2: you have a playoff game at home versus backup quarterback

1054
00:49:26,640 --> 00:49:27,120
Speaker 2: No TJ.

1055
00:49:27,320 --> 00:49:27,560
Speaker 1: Watt.

1056
00:49:27,640 --> 00:49:30,360
Speaker 2: The Bills have to win this game. They've been on

1057
00:49:30,440 --> 00:49:32,440
Speaker 2: a they've been on a role winning their last five

1058
00:49:32,480 --> 00:49:34,920
Speaker 2: games of the regular season. Like they have to win

1059
00:49:35,000 --> 00:49:35,359
Speaker 2: this game.

1060
00:49:35,640 --> 00:49:39,120
Speaker 4: I am one hundred percent with you. The Bills need

1061
00:49:39,560 --> 00:49:42,120
Speaker 4: to win this game. You just mentioned. They have been

1062
00:49:42,239 --> 00:49:46,399
Speaker 4: in the conversation of being the team for what three

1063
00:49:46,680 --> 00:49:49,880
Speaker 4: years now four years, and they have not been able

1064
00:49:50,000 --> 00:49:54,160
Speaker 4: to deliver to what everybody was expecting, even just reaching

1065
00:49:54,200 --> 00:49:56,560
Speaker 4: the Super Bowl, right, and so they need to do it.

1066
00:49:56,719 --> 00:50:00,320
Speaker 4: I think like jobs are on the line in Buffalo. Also,

1067
00:50:00,600 --> 00:50:03,440
Speaker 4: like they they need to capitalize on the fact that

1068
00:50:03,520 --> 00:50:05,000
Speaker 4: they turn the season around.

1069
00:50:04,840 --> 00:50:07,640
Speaker 3: After a rough start. So that's one game where you

1070
00:50:07,719 --> 00:50:09,160
Speaker 3: feel like jobs are on the line.

1071
00:50:09,239 --> 00:50:10,759
Speaker 4: I do feel like jobs could be on the line

1072
00:50:10,760 --> 00:50:11,520
Speaker 4: in Buffalo, all.

1073
00:50:11,480 --> 00:50:13,000
Speaker 2: Right, this next game, I feel like jobs can win.

1074
00:50:14,239 --> 00:50:17,680
Speaker 2: Packers at Cowboys, this 'd be the most interesting matchup.

1075
00:50:18,360 --> 00:50:20,759
Speaker 2: To me, who needs to win more? I'm gonna say

1076
00:50:20,760 --> 00:50:24,840
Speaker 2: the Cowboys hands down everyone because the Cowboys are heavy favorites.

1077
00:50:25,280 --> 00:50:26,920
Speaker 2: But there's a couple things to think about here, right.

1078
00:50:27,440 --> 00:50:29,839
Speaker 2: They don't have a great playoff record. They've only won

1079
00:50:30,040 --> 00:50:33,920
Speaker 2: four playoff games since nineteen ninety seven. Yeah, okay, Cowboys

1080
00:50:33,920 --> 00:50:37,320
Speaker 2: are undefeated at home this season, so if their first

1081
00:50:37,440 --> 00:50:40,000
Speaker 2: loss is this wild card game, it's not gonna look

1082
00:50:40,000 --> 00:50:41,480
Speaker 2: good for their main guys. I feel like Dak and

1083
00:50:41,600 --> 00:50:45,640
Speaker 2: Mike McCarthy are playing for their jobs. Tomorrow, We're going

1084
00:50:45,719 --> 00:50:49,160
Speaker 2: to talk to NFL Networks Cowboys insider Jane Slater at

1085
00:50:49,160 --> 00:50:51,200
Speaker 2: the bottom of the hour. She'll give us all the

1086
00:50:51,280 --> 00:50:54,560
Speaker 2: inside information there. She has been like with this team

1087
00:50:54,600 --> 00:50:58,120
Speaker 2: not only all season, but every day this week. But

1088
00:50:58,200 --> 00:51:00,319
Speaker 2: the other thing to look at the other side, love

1089
00:51:00,360 --> 00:51:02,719
Speaker 2: and the Packers are coming in with nothing to lose, right,

1090
00:51:03,000 --> 00:51:05,440
Speaker 2: No one is expecting them to win, and that is

1091
00:51:05,560 --> 00:51:08,600
Speaker 2: the most dangerous time to face a team that underdog

1092
00:51:08,719 --> 00:51:12,200
Speaker 2: mentality of like, yeah, come on, doubt me, let me

1093
00:51:12,280 --> 00:51:12,799
Speaker 2: prove you wrong.

1094
00:51:13,080 --> 00:51:15,600
Speaker 4: Right, I one, one hundred percent agree with you. With

1095
00:51:15,680 --> 00:51:19,360
Speaker 4: Dallas needs this win way more than the Packers. The

1096
00:51:19,480 --> 00:51:22,480
Speaker 4: Packers I think are like, again, we're happy to be here.

1097
00:51:22,640 --> 00:51:25,120
Speaker 4: We found our franchise quarterback when we weren't sure at

1098
00:51:25,120 --> 00:51:27,000
Speaker 4: the start of the season, and here they are.

1099
00:51:28,160 --> 00:51:28,640
Speaker 3: I agree.

1100
00:51:28,960 --> 00:51:32,000
Speaker 4: It's nobody's thinking that they're gonna make any moves against

1101
00:51:32,000 --> 00:51:35,640
Speaker 4: the Cowboys, which is dangerous because they have nothing to lose.

1102
00:51:35,960 --> 00:51:38,279
Speaker 4: But yeah, the Cowboys, I mean, like the last time

1103
00:51:38,400 --> 00:51:40,640
Speaker 4: that they went as far as the NFC Championship and

1104
00:51:40,920 --> 00:51:42,640
Speaker 4: was nineteen ninety five when they went on to win

1105
00:51:42,640 --> 00:51:43,120
Speaker 4: the Super Bowl.

1106
00:51:43,160 --> 00:51:46,240
Speaker 3: But you mentioned four playoff wins in how many twenty

1107
00:51:46,920 --> 00:51:50,239
Speaker 3: seven ish years, twenty five years whatever, that's nineteen ninety seven. Yeah,

1108
00:51:50,440 --> 00:51:53,200
Speaker 3: like long, pack it's a long for sake.

1109
00:51:53,280 --> 00:51:56,160
Speaker 2: I want to believe that the Cowboys can do it,

1110
00:51:56,360 --> 00:51:58,480
Speaker 2: but there hasn't been a track record to show me

1111
00:51:58,560 --> 00:52:00,000
Speaker 2: that they can get it done in the playoff.

1112
00:52:00,280 --> 00:52:02,480
Speaker 4: The only reason you should feel comfortable if you're a

1113
00:52:02,560 --> 00:52:04,680
Speaker 4: Cowboys fan is cow how the season ended.

1114
00:52:04,760 --> 00:52:06,719
Speaker 3: It ended on a really positive note. Fall also that

1115
00:52:06,760 --> 00:52:09,000
Speaker 3: you're undefeated at home and you're playing it correct, So

1116
00:52:09,239 --> 00:52:10,680
Speaker 3: that's that's the upside there. Yeah.

1117
00:52:10,760 --> 00:52:12,600
Speaker 4: So, I but I think jobs are on the line

1118
00:52:12,640 --> 00:52:15,040
Speaker 4: for sure. Definitely in Dallas if they are eliminated in

1119
00:52:15,080 --> 00:52:16,600
Speaker 4: the first round. Okay, we're gonna get to two more

1120
00:52:16,600 --> 00:52:18,520
Speaker 4: real quick here. Rams at Lions.

1121
00:52:18,600 --> 00:52:21,080
Speaker 2: It's the lions first home playoff game in thirty years,

1122
00:52:21,120 --> 00:52:23,520
Speaker 2: and they are facing their formal face of the franchise,

1123
00:52:23,960 --> 00:52:26,320
Speaker 2: Matthew Stafford. It's also the first time in history that

1124
00:52:26,400 --> 00:52:29,360
Speaker 2: both starting quarterbacks will be facing their former teams in

1125
00:52:29,520 --> 00:52:31,840
Speaker 2: the playoffs, so there's gonna be a lot of emotion

1126
00:52:32,000 --> 00:52:34,200
Speaker 2: in this game. There's been reports that Lion fans want

1127
00:52:34,239 --> 00:52:39,040
Speaker 2: a Matthew Stafford jersey band at this game, so it's tough.

1128
00:52:39,120 --> 00:52:39,239
Speaker 11: You know.

1129
00:52:39,360 --> 00:52:41,359
Speaker 3: He he left and then immediately won.

1130
00:52:41,280 --> 00:52:44,120
Speaker 2: A Super Bowl his first year with the Rams, didn't

1131
00:52:44,200 --> 00:52:47,000
Speaker 2: win a single playoff game with the Lions, so fans

1132
00:52:47,000 --> 00:52:49,399
Speaker 2: are a little salty, like rightfully, so, so who needs

1133
00:52:49,440 --> 00:52:52,040
Speaker 2: this win more? I'm gonna say the Lions. This is

1134
00:52:52,080 --> 00:52:55,440
Speaker 2: their first home playoff game in thirty years. They got

1135
00:52:55,640 --> 00:52:58,400
Speaker 2: robbed with that win against the Cowboys. They have a

1136
00:52:58,440 --> 00:53:01,200
Speaker 2: lot to prove that again. They are the real deal

1137
00:53:01,440 --> 00:53:04,959
Speaker 2: and it's gonna be tough. Sean McVay knows Jared Goff

1138
00:53:05,160 --> 00:53:08,480
Speaker 2: very well. He knows his weaknesses, he knows how to

1139
00:53:08,560 --> 00:53:12,640
Speaker 2: play him and GoF has a lot to prove, a

1140
00:53:12,719 --> 00:53:17,080
Speaker 2: lot to prove here. So yeah, I mean, I am

1141
00:53:17,200 --> 00:53:18,480
Speaker 2: so excited for this one tomorrow.

1142
00:53:18,600 --> 00:53:22,880
Speaker 4: Like you said it, Detroit in six plus decades, have

1143
00:53:23,360 --> 00:53:26,880
Speaker 4: one playoff victory Detroit in six plus decades.

1144
00:53:26,960 --> 00:53:27,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, they need it.

1145
00:53:28,040 --> 00:53:29,360
Speaker 4: They need it for the sake of the city, for

1146
00:53:29,440 --> 00:53:31,120
Speaker 4: the sake of the team, especially having such a good

1147
00:53:31,160 --> 00:53:35,480
Speaker 4: team and such a good season. Right yeah, Matthew Stafford

1148
00:53:35,560 --> 00:53:38,160
Speaker 4: and the Rams. We said it to Nikki Kay. Everybody

1149
00:53:38,200 --> 00:53:40,279
Speaker 4: at the start was like, rebuild season, They're gonna tank,

1150
00:53:40,320 --> 00:53:41,680
Speaker 4: They're going for Caleb Williams.

1151
00:53:42,080 --> 00:53:43,399
Speaker 3: I mean, I thought it was a risk.

1152
00:53:43,560 --> 00:53:46,480
Speaker 2: I was in Vegas before the season started, and I

1153
00:53:46,560 --> 00:53:48,359
Speaker 2: love going to a sports book and like betting out

1154
00:53:48,360 --> 00:53:51,320
Speaker 2: the sports book. I took Rams over six and a

1155
00:53:51,320 --> 00:53:52,239
Speaker 2: half wins, and everyone's like.

1156
00:53:52,200 --> 00:53:52,800
Speaker 3: You're crazy.

1157
00:53:53,000 --> 00:53:56,880
Speaker 2: I was like, come out, crazy, Now, come at me, Brokay,

1158
00:53:56,920 --> 00:53:58,680
Speaker 2: that's gonna pay out and they're gonna pay out.

1159
00:53:58,840 --> 00:54:01,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, and look at them the Lions over six and

1160
00:54:01,400 --> 00:54:02,000
Speaker 3: a half wins.

1161
00:54:02,480 --> 00:54:04,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm with you. I think the Lions need to

1162
00:54:04,960 --> 00:54:09,040
Speaker 4: win more, but the Rams are I here, It's like,

1163
00:54:09,200 --> 00:54:11,040
Speaker 4: I don't know what.

1164
00:54:11,160 --> 00:54:13,160
Speaker 3: They have, but man, they have something, They got something.

1165
00:54:13,200 --> 00:54:17,240
Speaker 2: Okay, let's get to our final game here, Eagles at Bucks.

1166
00:54:17,520 --> 00:54:20,160
Speaker 2: What a crazy turn of events for the Eagles, going

1167
00:54:20,200 --> 00:54:25,040
Speaker 2: from Super Bowl favorites to a complete unraveling, like just

1168
00:54:25,320 --> 00:54:28,160
Speaker 2: disaster at the end of the season, losing their last

1169
00:54:28,200 --> 00:54:30,600
Speaker 2: five of six games. Who needs to win this one

1170
00:54:30,680 --> 00:54:33,480
Speaker 2: more the Eagles do. If they don't win, it's already

1171
00:54:33,520 --> 00:54:35,680
Speaker 2: being reported that Nick sirianni is on the hot seat,

1172
00:54:35,760 --> 00:54:38,399
Speaker 2: could be out of Philly. But also, like, let's take

1173
00:54:38,400 --> 00:54:40,640
Speaker 2: into consideration, this is an example of how tough it

1174
00:54:40,719 --> 00:54:42,200
Speaker 2: is to be a head coach in the NFL.

1175
00:54:42,840 --> 00:54:45,440
Speaker 3: He's had a winning season every year that he's been there.

1176
00:54:45,480 --> 00:54:47,880
Speaker 2: Okay, twenty twenty one, nine, eight, twenty twenty two, he

1177
00:54:48,000 --> 00:54:50,120
Speaker 2: was in the Super Bowl twenty twenty.

1178
00:54:49,920 --> 00:54:52,239
Speaker 3: Three, eleven and six, And like, if you.

1179
00:54:54,000 --> 00:54:56,719
Speaker 2: If he loses this, there's a good chance that he

1180
00:54:56,880 --> 00:54:59,360
Speaker 2: is out, and those rumors that like Bill Belichick could be.

1181
00:54:59,360 --> 00:55:01,640
Speaker 3: In and it's just losing this game.

1182
00:55:01,760 --> 00:55:03,759
Speaker 4: It's just how you mentioned it, the way it kind

1183
00:55:03,800 --> 00:55:06,960
Speaker 4: of spiraled out of control a lot of the games.

1184
00:55:07,000 --> 00:55:08,279
Speaker 3: And I said this, you know, when we.

1185
00:55:08,320 --> 00:55:10,919
Speaker 4: Were talking about the Eagles throughout the season, they won

1186
00:55:11,120 --> 00:55:13,320
Speaker 4: a lot of games by a by one score, and

1187
00:55:13,400 --> 00:55:15,880
Speaker 4: I said to you, I was like, they don't they

1188
00:55:16,040 --> 00:55:19,240
Speaker 4: don't look great. They're winning, which good job because somebody

1189
00:55:19,280 --> 00:55:21,759
Speaker 4: has to win. But they have not been the same

1190
00:55:21,800 --> 00:55:24,360
Speaker 4: team since last year. Their secondary is not what it

1191
00:55:24,520 --> 00:55:26,759
Speaker 4: was last year. And so I think it's not just

1192
00:55:26,880 --> 00:55:28,839
Speaker 4: oh you lost this game. We're getting Nikka, We're getting

1193
00:55:28,920 --> 00:55:33,000
Speaker 4: rid of Sirianni. It's so many other factors spiraling out

1194
00:55:33,040 --> 00:55:36,880
Speaker 4: at the end. Oh yeah, remember what happens at the

1195
00:55:36,920 --> 00:55:38,400
Speaker 4: end more than you remember what happened at the beginning

1196
00:55:38,400 --> 00:55:38,799
Speaker 4: of the season.

1197
00:55:38,920 --> 00:55:40,920
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, that's how you started till you finished, right

1198
00:55:41,040 --> 00:55:44,920
Speaker 2: in everything that every career, every season. Everything, all right,

1199
00:55:45,160 --> 00:55:46,680
Speaker 2: we're gonna take a quick break here, but when we

1200
00:55:46,760 --> 00:55:48,400
Speaker 2: come back our end of season awards.

1201
00:55:48,440 --> 00:55:49,799
Speaker 3: You're listening to Fox Sports Radio.

1202
00:55:50,280 --> 00:55:54,000
Speaker 17: Zagonted six at the Browns fifteen, Stroud under center, fakes

1203
00:55:54,040 --> 00:55:56,080
Speaker 17: to toss, now flows it back to the left, has.

1204
00:55:55,960 --> 00:55:58,400
Speaker 1: College ten five to the corner.

1205
00:55:58,640 --> 00:56:03,799
Speaker 15: Reason touch Poston, what Texans take the lead?

1206
00:56:04,520 --> 00:56:05,800
Speaker 13: Just like that?

1207
00:56:06,520 --> 00:56:09,719
Speaker 4: And just like that, the Browns have now taken the lead.

1208
00:56:09,760 --> 00:56:12,560
Speaker 4: But you just heard Texans Radio network they were on top.

1209
00:56:12,640 --> 00:56:13,360
Speaker 3: That was true.

1210
00:56:13,760 --> 00:56:16,000
Speaker 4: But in a matter of a minute ago, the Browns

1211
00:56:16,040 --> 00:56:19,080
Speaker 4: have taken the lead, Joe Flacco connecting with Kareem Hunts,

1212
00:56:19,120 --> 00:56:22,120
Speaker 4: so Browns on top of the Texans fourteen to ten

1213
00:56:22,480 --> 00:56:23,919
Speaker 4: early in the second quarter.

1214
00:56:24,160 --> 00:56:26,640
Speaker 3: This is actually turning out to be an epic game.

1215
00:56:26,880 --> 00:56:27,120
Speaker 13: Yeah.

1216
00:56:27,320 --> 00:56:31,640
Speaker 2: It is back and forth battle, a strong defense, like

1217
00:56:31,760 --> 00:56:33,800
Speaker 2: the best defense in the league with the Browns and

1218
00:56:34,080 --> 00:56:34,360
Speaker 2: c J.

1219
00:56:34,480 --> 00:56:36,200
Speaker 3: Stroud and Flacco just going at it.

1220
00:56:36,360 --> 00:56:39,319

1258
00:58:24,960 --> 00:58:27,760
Speaker 2: let's get to our end of season awards. Mons and

1259
00:58:27,800 --> 00:58:30,480
Speaker 2: I are gonna go through our MVP, Offensive Player of

1260
00:58:30,480 --> 00:58:32,400
Speaker 2: the Year, Defensive Player of the Year, Rookie of the Year,

1261
00:58:32,480 --> 00:58:35,640
Speaker 2: and Coach of the Year. So let's get started with

1262
00:58:35,840 --> 00:58:38,280
Speaker 2: our MVP. I'll go first. I'm gonna give it to

1263
00:58:38,400 --> 00:58:42,080
Speaker 2: Lamar Jackson. What he was able to accomplish this season

1264
00:58:42,640 --> 00:58:45,680
Speaker 2: without being a leader in majority of the quarterback stats,

1265
00:58:45,760 --> 00:58:48,400
Speaker 2: I think speaks so highly to his greatness and his

1266
00:58:48,600 --> 00:58:51,680
Speaker 2: ability to win big games, but also shows how well

1267
00:58:51,800 --> 00:58:54,240
Speaker 2: rounded of a player he is. Right, Ravens had the

1268
00:58:54,280 --> 00:58:57,680
Speaker 2: best rushing offensive season, Lamar played a huge part as

1269
00:58:57,800 --> 00:59:00,320
Speaker 2: that dual threat. He led all quarterbacks in rushing yards

1270
00:59:00,320 --> 00:59:03,240
Speaker 2: eight hundred and twenty one. This man went out and

1271
00:59:03,360 --> 00:59:06,280
Speaker 2: defeated every top team that he played in the league

1272
00:59:06,320 --> 00:59:09,040
Speaker 2: forty nine Ers, Dolphins, Texans, Rams, Lions.

1273
00:59:09,120 --> 00:59:11,760
Speaker 3: He is my MVP, Lamar Jackson.

1274
00:59:12,400 --> 00:59:15,520
Speaker 4: My MVP has been the same MVP all season, mister

1275
00:59:16,000 --> 00:59:18,360
Speaker 4: Christian McCaffrey. Obviously, I've been saying this since what Week

1276
00:59:18,640 --> 00:59:21,479
Speaker 4: four or something, that Christian McCaffrey should be the MVP

1277
00:59:21,600 --> 00:59:25,040
Speaker 4: in a season where there was no dominant quarterback. This

1278
00:59:25,240 --> 00:59:28,080
Speaker 4: was the perfect time to give the award to a

1279
00:59:28,200 --> 00:59:30,360
Speaker 4: non quarterback. We know it's going to a quarterback. Al

1280
00:59:30,480 --> 00:59:31,280
Speaker 4: it's a quarterback award.

1281
00:59:31,280 --> 00:59:32,160
Speaker 3: It's a quarterback award.

1282
00:59:32,160 --> 00:59:34,080
Speaker 4: And I thought this was a perfect year because the

1283
00:59:34,360 --> 00:59:37,560
Speaker 4: MVP conversation changed from quarterback to quarterback week to week,

1284
00:59:37,840 --> 00:59:40,840
Speaker 4: and so Christian McCaffrey was a stud the whole season.

1285
00:59:41,240 --> 00:59:44,600
Speaker 4: He ended with one four hundred and fifty nine rushing yard,

1286
00:59:44,640 --> 00:59:47,760
Speaker 4: scored twenty one touchdowns, tied with Raie Moster for the

1287
00:59:47,840 --> 00:59:50,200
Speaker 4: most this season. He didn't even play the final game.

1288
00:59:50,360 --> 00:59:53,760
Speaker 4: He also had two thousand scrimmage yards, joining Eric Dickerson

1289
00:59:53,840 --> 00:59:56,600
Speaker 4: and Marshall Folks as the only players in NFL history

1290
00:59:56,800 --> 00:59:59,479
Speaker 4: to do that for two different teams. In a team

1291
00:59:59,720 --> 01:00:02,640
Speaker 4: full of stars, McCaffrey still stood out.

1292
01:00:02,800 --> 01:00:06,919
Speaker 3: All right, Offensive Player of the Year. I have Christian McCaffrey. Yeah,

1293
01:00:06,960 --> 01:00:08,760
Speaker 3: so I'm still giving him as flowers.

1294
01:00:09,240 --> 01:00:12,080
Speaker 2: He had an incredible season and this man is a

1295
01:00:12,120 --> 01:00:14,680
Speaker 2: big reason that the forty nine ers team had the

1296
01:00:14,760 --> 01:00:16,520
Speaker 2: success that they had. But they also have a lot

1297
01:00:16,520 --> 01:00:18,480
Speaker 2: of other weapons on that team, right that helped get

1298
01:00:18,520 --> 01:00:20,600
Speaker 2: them there. As you mentioned, he led the league in

1299
01:00:20,680 --> 01:00:24,120
Speaker 2: rushing yards, nearly three hundred more than the next person. Second,

1300
01:00:24,200 --> 01:00:27,520
Speaker 2: in rushing touchdowns, he had fourteen among all running backs

1301
01:00:27,760 --> 01:00:30,640
Speaker 2: and second in receiving yards among all running backs seven

1302
01:00:30,720 --> 01:00:34,520
Speaker 2: receiving touchdowns, most among running backs. So yeah, Christian McCaffrey

1303
01:00:34,520 --> 01:00:38,000
Speaker 2: has definitely getting some sort of hardware sure at the

1304
01:00:38,120 --> 01:00:38,760
Speaker 2: end of this season.

1305
01:00:38,840 --> 01:00:39,760
Speaker 3: Okay, who do you got.

1306
01:00:39,880 --> 01:00:42,160
Speaker 4: For Offensive Player of the Year. I have Tyreek Kill

1307
01:00:42,200 --> 01:00:45,120
Speaker 4: who led the league with seven hundred and ninety nine

1308
01:00:45,160 --> 01:00:48,360
Speaker 4: receiving yards, A big part of the best offensive team

1309
01:00:48,440 --> 01:00:51,480
Speaker 4: that we would see throughout the season. Explosive, right, the Dolphins,

1310
01:00:51,600 --> 01:00:54,360
Speaker 4: just their offense was the best offense. They led in

1311
01:00:54,440 --> 01:00:57,280
Speaker 4: total yards per game four hundred and one, most passing

1312
01:00:57,360 --> 01:01:00,200
Speaker 4: yards per game to sixty five. But yet again, and

1313
01:01:00,960 --> 01:01:03,920
Speaker 4: surrounded by a bunch of weapons, Tyreek Kill still stood out.

1314
01:01:04,080 --> 01:01:06,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, and he watch he's been in the MVP conversation.

1315
01:01:06,920 --> 01:01:11,600
Speaker 2: He wasn't outside of like the favorites. I think fans sure,

1316
01:01:11,760 --> 01:01:13,440
Speaker 2: because yeah, he stood out, you know.

1317
01:01:13,520 --> 01:01:17,080
Speaker 4: And it's unfortunate that they didn't win bigger games because

1318
01:01:17,200 --> 01:01:18,880
Speaker 4: obviously that was a ding for him.

1319
01:01:19,080 --> 01:01:21,520
Speaker 3: But I think he was he is the offensi Player

1320
01:01:21,560 --> 01:01:21,840
Speaker 3: of the Year.

1321
01:01:21,920 --> 01:01:25,240
Speaker 2: Okay, defensive player of the Year. I'm gonna go Miles Garrett.

1322
01:01:25,480 --> 01:01:28,640
Speaker 2: Brown's defense was great this season and he was a

1323
01:01:28,680 --> 01:01:31,280
Speaker 2: big part of that. Brown's defense allowed the fewest yards

1324
01:01:31,320 --> 01:01:34,200
Speaker 2: per game. They were sixth in sacks. Garrett had a

1325
01:01:34,680 --> 01:01:38,480
Speaker 2: fourteen of forty nine, twenty nine percent of brown sacks.

1326
01:01:38,520 --> 01:01:40,280
Speaker 2: Bottom line, he was the best player on the best

1327
01:01:40,360 --> 01:01:43,080
Speaker 2: defense this season, and their defense is a big reason

1328
01:01:43,120 --> 01:01:45,840
Speaker 2: they're playing right now in this wildcard game.

1329
01:01:46,000 --> 01:01:46,400
Speaker 3: I'm with you.

1330
01:01:46,480 --> 01:01:49,280
Speaker 4: I have Miles Garrett as well, forteen sacks. Like you mentioned,

1331
01:01:49,360 --> 01:01:52,840
Speaker 4: he's second in pass rush win rate despite facing the

1332
01:01:52,880 --> 01:01:55,320
Speaker 4: third highest double team rate. Like you throw everyone at

1333
01:01:55,480 --> 01:01:57,240
Speaker 4: him and he's still successful.

1334
01:01:57,360 --> 01:01:59,840
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, part of the big You know, the reason

1335
01:01:59,920 --> 01:02:02,400
Speaker 3: the Dolphins the Browns are so good is their defense.

1336
01:02:02,520 --> 01:02:05,960
Speaker 4: Like yeah, but he's still He's still attracted so much

1337
01:02:06,240 --> 01:02:08,880
Speaker 4: attention and made it easier for the rest of his

1338
01:02:09,000 --> 01:02:11,439
Speaker 4: team to be so good on defense. So yeah, Miles

1339
01:02:11,520 --> 01:02:12,960
Speaker 4: Garrett for sure Defensive Player of the Year.

1340
01:02:12,960 --> 01:02:15,360
Speaker 2: Okay, let's get through these last two pretty quick so

1341
01:02:15,400 --> 01:02:17,120
Speaker 2: we can get to Jane Slater in just a couple

1342
01:02:17,120 --> 01:02:17,439
Speaker 2: of minutes.

Speaker 2: passing yards and a passer rating over one hundred as

1347

Speaker 2: a rookie, set the rookie set the record for passing

1348

Speaker 2: yards in a single game by a rookie.

01:02:31,520 --> 01:02:33,040
Speaker 3: And he completely turned this franchise around.

1350
01:02:33,080 --> 01:02:35,120
Speaker 4: And now all of that, and he still got hurt

1351
01:02:35,200 --> 01:02:35,920
Speaker 4: and still all of that.

1352
01:02:36,080 --> 01:02:37,840
Speaker 3: You know, I'm saying, like, did you have him? He did?

1353

Speaker 1: My goodness.

1382
01:03:47,280 --> 01:03:51,520
Speaker 15: The Texans go seventy six yards in one play to

1383
01:03:51,680 --> 01:03:52,480
Speaker 15: retake the lead.

1384
01:03:52,560 --> 01:03:56,320
Speaker 6: On Cleveland Texans Radio with the call that just the

1385
01:03:56,440 --> 01:03:59,480
Speaker 6: latest big play. As Houston has a seventeen to fourteen

1386
01:03:59,560 --> 01:04:02,680
Speaker 6: lead over the Browns early in the second quarter, both

1387
01:04:02,760 --> 01:04:05,320
Speaker 6: quarterbacks starting to put on a show here for CJ.

1388
01:04:05,480 --> 01:04:08,120
Speaker 6: Stroud seven of eleven one hundred and eighty three yards

1389

Speaker 6: and two touchdowns in just a little over a quarter

1390
01:04:10,720 --> 01:04:14,080

1393
01:04:18,640 --> 01:04:22,280
Speaker 6: quite the shootout in Houston. Texans again leading the Browns

1394
01:04:22,720 --> 01:04:26,440

1424
01:05:52,280 --> 01:05:54,760
Speaker 2: hold of Jane, I mentioned that Monty and I filled.

Speaker 3: Out our playoff brockets.

1426
01:05:55,760 --> 01:05:58,720
Speaker 2: We did like fifteen minutes before we went live yet today,

1427
01:05:58,880 --> 01:06:02,120
Speaker 2: and there were a couple a couple of moments of

1428
01:06:02,320 --> 01:06:06,280
Speaker 2: like I changed my Super Bowl champion, like right before

1429
01:06:06,320 --> 01:06:08,520
Speaker 2: we went live. I've got I've gone back and forth

1430
01:06:08,560 --> 01:06:12,240
Speaker 2: between this so many times. But we're just gonna run

1431
01:06:12,240 --> 01:06:14,560
Speaker 2: through real quick. Okay, let's get and we're gonna we're

1432
01:06:14,600 --> 01:06:16,000
Speaker 2: gonna say who we took.

1433
01:06:16,200 --> 01:06:20,320
Speaker 3: Are you ready? So let's start in the divisional round

1434
01:06:21,840 --> 01:06:24,040
Speaker 3: this game? Right now? Are you taking Houston or Cleveland?

1435
01:06:24,600 --> 01:06:24,680
Speaker 13: Oh?

1436
01:06:24,720 --> 01:06:27,360
Speaker 4: I'm taking Cleveland. I wrote Cleveland, you did confidently?

1437
01:06:27,520 --> 01:06:27,840
Speaker 8: You know what?

1438
01:06:28,000 --> 01:06:29,880
Speaker 2: I actually don't know if I want it? Like, is

1439
01:06:29,960 --> 01:06:32,960
Speaker 2: this going to be giving away our picks for the

1440
01:06:33,160 --> 01:06:33,920
Speaker 2: next segment?

1441
01:06:34,720 --> 01:06:35,000
Speaker 3: Okay?

1442
01:06:35,080 --> 01:06:39,320
Speaker 2: Then maybe just who do you have in the conference championship?

1443
01:06:39,520 --> 01:06:41,600
Speaker 2: That might kind of give away picks, but maybe not.

1444
01:06:41,760 --> 01:06:45,400
Speaker 2: Maybe it is a little obvious. Yeah, I think if

1445
01:06:45,440 --> 01:06:45,960
Speaker 2: you want to do that.

1446
01:06:46,160 --> 01:06:47,600
Speaker 3: It's gonna take a moment to get there.

1447
01:06:47,760 --> 01:06:47,960
Speaker 5: Yeah.

1448
01:06:49,320 --> 01:06:55,439
Speaker 3: How about this? Which one are you least confident about? Okay? Yeah,

1449
01:06:55,600 --> 01:06:55,920
Speaker 3: I am.

1450
01:06:56,040 --> 01:06:59,840
Speaker 4: The most uncomfortable matchup is actually Tampa Bay and.

1451
01:07:00,000 --> 01:07:01,160
Speaker 3: Philadelphia for me right now?

1452
01:07:01,280 --> 01:07:05,000
Speaker 4: Okay, that's the most uncomfortable matchup where I keep changing

1453
01:07:05,080 --> 01:07:05,479
Speaker 4: my mind.

1454
01:07:05,600 --> 01:07:07,920
Speaker 3: Okay, I wrote down Tampa first, and then I took

1455
01:07:07,960 --> 01:07:11,000
Speaker 3: it off and I put Eagles. Okay that's how I'm.

1456
01:07:10,760 --> 01:07:12,080
Speaker 4: Very and I want to take it off now.

1457
01:07:12,120 --> 01:07:13,400
Speaker 3: But you told me I can't change it. Yeah, you

1458
01:07:13,400 --> 01:07:15,720
Speaker 3: can't change it anymore. We can't do that. So that's

1459
01:07:15,760 --> 01:07:18,280
Speaker 3: where I'm at, Like, I don't know Okay.

1460
01:07:18,440 --> 01:07:19,960
Speaker 2: You know what, I'm actually happy that we're not going

1461
01:07:20,000 --> 01:07:21,160
Speaker 2: through this because I want to save this for the

1462
01:07:21,200 --> 01:07:24,600
Speaker 2: next segment we have. Jane Slater, is you here? Yes, okay,

1463
01:07:24,840 --> 01:07:27,960
Speaker 2: it is time. That's one of my favorite humans, the

1464
01:07:28,080 --> 01:07:31,920
Speaker 2: best in the biz. NFL Networks Cowboys reporter Jane Slater,

1465
01:07:32,040 --> 01:07:34,720
Speaker 2: you have been putting in the work today and this

1466
01:07:35,000 --> 01:07:35,439
Speaker 2: entire week.

1467
01:07:35,520 --> 01:07:35,760
Speaker 3: Woman.

1468
01:07:36,760 --> 01:07:41,040
Speaker 13: Hello, you know it's fun. It's playoffs, right, so we

1469
01:07:41,120 --> 01:07:44,800
Speaker 13: get into all the fun storylines, and I mean, there's

1470
01:07:44,880 --> 01:07:48,080
Speaker 13: just so much with the Playoffs in general. I mean, gosh,

1471
01:07:48,280 --> 01:07:50,760
Speaker 13: I was joking today I was the indoor cat because

1472
01:07:50,760 --> 01:07:53,160
Speaker 13: I didn't I know, you look.

1473
01:07:53,120 --> 01:07:56,680
Speaker 3: So beautiful and warm in Dallas.

1474
01:07:56,800 --> 01:07:59,200
Speaker 2: And then I was watching and if I'll Network this

1475
01:07:59,280 --> 01:08:01,000
Speaker 2: morning and they were going to all the different reporters.

1476
01:08:01,400 --> 01:08:04,440
Speaker 3: I was like, Jane has it so good right now?

1477
01:08:05,680 --> 01:08:07,680
Speaker 3: She is glowing and she looks warm.

1478
01:08:08,280 --> 01:08:11,880
Speaker 2: Everyone else is like outside freezing, trying to figure out

1479
01:08:12,040 --> 01:08:14,200
Speaker 2: what are they gonna do. I love it so much,

1480
01:08:14,280 --> 01:08:16,519
Speaker 2: but this is a big one, Jane for the Cowboys.

1481
01:08:16,720 --> 01:08:19,840
Speaker 2: So take us, take us into the locker room. What

1482
01:08:20,000 --> 01:08:22,679
Speaker 2: has been the mood this whole week?

1483
01:08:22,800 --> 01:08:24,839
Speaker 3: And are they feeling any outside pressure?

1484
01:08:25,960 --> 01:08:28,799
Speaker 13: You know, they're not. It's it's crazy watching the evolution

1485
01:08:28,920 --> 01:08:33,120
Speaker 13: of this team, because this team and the continuity and

1486
01:08:33,240 --> 01:08:36,879
Speaker 13: the confidence reminds me so much of Dax's the meteoric

1487
01:08:37,040 --> 01:08:39,800
Speaker 13: rise at rookie season. It is remember that's when he

1488
01:08:39,880 --> 01:08:42,719
Speaker 13: came in and he took the job from Tony Romo,

1489
01:08:43,000 --> 01:08:45,280
Speaker 13: and you know, there were so many twists and turns

1490
01:08:45,280 --> 01:08:47,320
Speaker 13: in that season alone, but that was just a team

1491
01:08:47,439 --> 01:08:52,400
Speaker 13: that really felt like they had something. And then since

1492
01:08:52,439 --> 01:08:55,240
Speaker 13: then there were all sorts of setbacks and coaching changes.

1493
01:08:55,560 --> 01:09:00,240
Speaker 13: But this week, you know, I would it's interesting seeing

1494
01:09:00,280 --> 01:09:04,080
Speaker 13: all this outside talk about the coaching carousel, uh, and

1495
01:09:04,320 --> 01:09:08,080
Speaker 13: whether Dan Quinn, who had you know, been one of

1496
01:09:08,120 --> 01:09:10,320
Speaker 13: the top candidates the last couple of years. Oh yeah,

1497
01:09:10,880 --> 01:09:14,240
Speaker 13: this year it feels very real, uh that he could

1498
01:09:14,360 --> 01:09:16,680
Speaker 13: move on, And why wouldn't you you know, the opportunity

1499
01:09:16,760 --> 01:09:19,320
Speaker 13: to you know, potentially if again they're not going to

1500
01:09:19,360 --> 01:09:20,960
Speaker 13: talk about it right now because I'm getting ready to

1501
01:09:20,960 --> 01:09:22,960
Speaker 13: go in the postseason, but what if he went back

1502
01:09:23,000 --> 01:09:25,280
Speaker 13: to Seattle as the legion of boom? And Micah Parson

1503
01:09:25,360 --> 01:09:27,880
Speaker 13: sort of alluded to this this week that you know,

1504
01:09:28,000 --> 01:09:30,680
Speaker 13: this might be the last one for DQ and jay

1505
01:09:30,760 --> 01:09:33,120
Speaker 13: Ron Curse told me this week that you know, the

1506
01:09:33,240 --> 01:09:35,439
Speaker 13: love and respect they had for their coach who had

1507
01:09:35,479 --> 01:09:38,240
Speaker 13: these opportunities. I mean, Denver was, you know one we

1508
01:09:38,320 --> 01:09:40,519
Speaker 13: heard about last year and that he kept coming back

1509
01:09:40,560 --> 01:09:44,240
Speaker 13: because he felt like they had unfinished business. And this defense,

1510
01:09:44,920 --> 01:09:48,400
Speaker 13: the way they played in the absence of Trayvon Diggs

1511
01:09:48,439 --> 01:09:50,520
Speaker 13: starting off the season, we said this was a championship

1512
01:09:50,600 --> 01:09:53,120
Speaker 13: level defense. And Trayvon had just signed the extension and

1513
01:09:53,200 --> 01:09:56,360
Speaker 13: a fleep accident in practice rendered him out for the season,

1514
01:09:56,840 --> 01:09:59,200
Speaker 13: and then in steps to Ron's land, and then you

1515
01:09:59,320 --> 01:10:01,439
Speaker 13: lose Laighton van Address. She was so key as one

1516
01:10:01,479 --> 01:10:04,680
Speaker 13: of your linebackers helping stop the run. He gets a

1517
01:10:04,760 --> 01:10:07,400
Speaker 13: season ending injury, and then you've gotten guys like Marquise

1518
01:10:07,479 --> 01:10:10,360
Speaker 13: Bell to step up, and you know, this defensive line

1519
01:10:10,400 --> 01:10:12,320
Speaker 13: and it allows you to continue to use Mica Parsons

1520
01:10:12,360 --> 01:10:14,400
Speaker 13: at this chess piece. And so it just can't be

1521
01:10:14,560 --> 01:10:17,080
Speaker 13: understated what dan Quinn has done for them. And to

1522
01:10:17,200 --> 01:10:20,280
Speaker 13: go back to your question, I feel this sense of

1523
01:10:20,439 --> 01:10:23,240
Speaker 13: urgency in the locker room because of that. Yeah, And

1524
01:10:23,320 --> 01:10:25,840
Speaker 13: so I think that's an interesting sort of subplot that's

1525
01:10:25,880 --> 01:10:28,080
Speaker 13: going on in Dallas as a result of all of

1526
01:10:28,200 --> 01:10:32,240
Speaker 13: this exterior pressure. But also, you know, the big issue

1527
01:10:32,360 --> 01:10:35,120
Speaker 13: for Dallas heading into the postseason last year was remember

1528
01:10:35,200 --> 01:10:37,840
Speaker 13: they also finished up the regular season finale on the

1529
01:10:37,920 --> 01:10:41,320
Speaker 13: road against Washington. Laid An Egg and Dak have all

1530
01:10:41,360 --> 01:10:44,120
Speaker 13: of those interceptions last year and we were talking about,

1531
01:10:44,720 --> 01:10:46,840
Speaker 13: you know, leading the league in interceptions. Well, this year,

1532
01:10:46,840 --> 01:10:50,280
Speaker 13: he's leading the league in touchdowns. And you know, we

1533
01:10:50,320 --> 01:10:53,600
Speaker 13: had a really interesting discussion this week about some of

1534
01:10:53,640 --> 01:10:57,000
Speaker 13: the struggles both last year and at times this year.

1535
01:10:57,160 --> 01:11:00,599
Speaker 13: Was sometimes when they were getting single safe, he looks

1536
01:11:00,840 --> 01:11:04,200
Speaker 13: and you know, when you're throwing the ball in tight windows.

1537
01:11:05,160 --> 01:11:08,400
Speaker 13: Sometimes Dad could explain to me that, you know, he

1538
01:11:08,720 --> 01:11:11,360
Speaker 13: was getting greedy at times, but he's gonna throw it.

1539
01:11:11,680 --> 01:11:14,080
Speaker 13: And this year he's only throwing one you know that's

1540
01:11:14,120 --> 01:11:17,160
Speaker 13: a heat check, but he's still throwing those tight throws.

1541
01:11:17,320 --> 01:11:21,080
Speaker 13: It's just now the receivers are very familiar with where

1542
01:11:21,160 --> 01:11:23,439
Speaker 13: he's going to throw that ball. But more importantly, they're

1543
01:11:23,520 --> 01:11:26,640
Speaker 13: familiarizing themselves with some of the coverages they're getting in

1544
01:11:26,720 --> 01:11:30,000
Speaker 13: terms of their depth of speed, where's the linebacker, where's

1545
01:11:30,040 --> 01:11:33,680
Speaker 13: the safety, where's the corner. And because of that enhanced communication,

1546
01:11:34,040 --> 01:11:36,960
Speaker 13: that's why you're seeing some of his success, and then

1547
01:11:37,320 --> 01:11:39,920
Speaker 13: the steam routes really working well for them this year

1548
01:11:39,960 --> 01:11:42,800
Speaker 13: with Jake Ferguson. And so I say all this to you, guys,

1549
01:11:42,920 --> 01:11:46,559
Speaker 13: because all of these pieces have been clicking this year,

1550
01:11:46,640 --> 01:11:48,960
Speaker 13: and that Texas Coast offense, I know we have talked

1551
01:11:48,960 --> 01:11:51,360
Speaker 13: about that at times, guys. It was sort of slow

1552
01:11:51,400 --> 01:11:54,519
Speaker 13: to come along. But now that it's you know, they've

1553
01:11:54,680 --> 01:11:58,960
Speaker 13: seemingly gotten that together. They've seemingly gotten the defensive side

1554
01:11:58,960 --> 01:12:01,640
Speaker 13: of the ball, right, I mean the kicking situation last year,

1555
01:12:01,760 --> 01:12:04,720
Speaker 13: Brett Varher, You know, we were nervous when we saw

1556
01:12:04,960 --> 01:12:08,120
Speaker 13: Aubrey missed that one quick last weekend. Of course it was,

1557
01:12:08,320 --> 01:12:10,240
Speaker 13: you know, a block, and then he missed a field

1558
01:12:10,320 --> 01:12:12,559
Speaker 13: goal and he was like perfect, Kevin burk Cart, you're

1559
01:12:12,560 --> 01:12:14,000
Speaker 13: my boy, But why'd you jinks him?

1560
01:12:14,320 --> 01:12:14,600
Speaker 6: Love it?

1561
01:12:15,479 --> 01:12:17,760
Speaker 13: But I think everybody's very comfortable with Aubrey. I mean,

1562
01:12:17,800 --> 01:12:19,720
Speaker 13: Aubrey himself thinks that he can back it up to

1563
01:12:19,800 --> 01:12:23,080
Speaker 13: the seventy. And so all these pieces that I had

1564
01:12:23,360 --> 01:12:26,479
Speaker 13: questions in Mark question Mark or for Dallas last year

1565
01:12:26,479 --> 01:12:29,080
Speaker 13: having the postseason, I don't know if they're necessarily there.

1566
01:12:29,280 --> 01:12:32,120
Speaker 13: And then a little bit of luck lately, right the

1567
01:12:32,240 --> 01:12:35,400
Speaker 13: Detroit Lions game seemingly changes them from the fifth seed

1568
01:12:35,800 --> 01:12:38,200
Speaker 13: to the two seed. And while I think Green Bay

1569
01:12:38,240 --> 01:12:42,160
Speaker 13: is incredibly talented on offense, their defense has really hurt

1570
01:12:42,280 --> 01:12:44,320
Speaker 13: them this year. And then jay R Alexander this week

1571
01:12:44,400 --> 01:12:47,400
Speaker 13: gets a freak injury and rolls his ankle, So now

1572
01:12:47,479 --> 01:12:50,559
Speaker 13: you might be missing one of your starting corners, which

1573
01:12:50,640 --> 01:12:53,519
Speaker 13: is wild. So it's just, you know, maybe there is

1574
01:12:53,560 --> 01:12:55,400
Speaker 13: something to the Jimmy curse give me, you know, for

1575
01:12:55,520 --> 01:12:57,760
Speaker 13: fans that don't know, finally went into the ring of

1576
01:12:57,840 --> 01:13:00,840
Speaker 13: honor that Jerry was so petty out not putting him

1577
01:13:00,840 --> 01:13:04,080
Speaker 13: for years, and then all these things started clicking. So

1578
01:13:04,160 --> 01:13:06,520
Speaker 13: I do think it's really really interesting interesting.

1579
01:13:07,400 --> 01:13:08,160
Speaker 15: I've covered.

1580
01:13:10,280 --> 01:13:13,320
Speaker 13: For twelve years out and we know, I always feel

1581
01:13:13,360 --> 01:13:15,960
Speaker 13: like it's it's Murphy's law with them. Anything that can

1582
01:13:16,080 --> 01:13:18,479
Speaker 13: go wrong does but this year and again this long

1583
01:13:18,520 --> 01:13:21,040
Speaker 13: way to answer, but anything that can go right seemingly

1584
01:13:21,200 --> 01:13:22,320
Speaker 13: has right.

1585
01:13:22,840 --> 01:13:25,640
Speaker 4: Alex and I were talking that we feel that there

1586
01:13:25,720 --> 01:13:28,240
Speaker 4: are may be jobs on the line here, Like if

1587
01:13:28,320 --> 01:13:31,920
Speaker 4: for whatever reason, the Cowboys lose to the Packers, do

1588
01:13:32,040 --> 01:13:35,240
Speaker 4: you think Mike McCarthy and maybe Dak's job is on

1589
01:13:35,320 --> 01:13:35,639
Speaker 4: the line.

1590
01:13:37,560 --> 01:13:41,120
Speaker 13: I think Dak's safe in Dallas. I think it's so

1591
01:13:41,479 --> 01:13:45,479
Speaker 13: hard to find a franchise quarterback in I think Dak

1592
01:13:45,640 --> 01:13:48,280
Speaker 13: only thirty one, so I mean in terms of age

1593
01:13:48,360 --> 01:13:49,960
Speaker 13: for a quarterback, I mean he's beginning to sort of

1594
01:13:50,040 --> 01:13:53,479
Speaker 13: hit his stride right, so I think he's safe. I

1595
01:13:53,520 --> 01:13:56,240
Speaker 13: don't think Todd France is going to make these negotiations easy.

1596
01:13:56,600 --> 01:13:59,439
Speaker 13: He certainly didn't make him easy in the past. They've

1597
01:13:59,439 --> 01:14:01,960
Speaker 13: been content and then they've got to figure out ways

1598
01:14:02,000 --> 01:14:04,760
Speaker 13: to sign Sadie Lamb. And then Micah Parsons was a

1599
01:14:04,880 --> 01:14:08,080
Speaker 13: really interesting nugget this week when he talked about Dan

1600
01:14:08,200 --> 01:14:10,760
Speaker 13: Quinn leaving. He said, well, Dan might take me with him,

1601
01:14:11,240 --> 01:14:14,920
Speaker 13: and we were all like, that's an interesting shot over

1602
01:14:15,000 --> 01:14:18,800
Speaker 13: the mouth. But as for Mike McCarthy, here's what I

1603
01:14:18,800 --> 01:14:23,479
Speaker 13: would say about that. There's a lot of smoke. Sometimes

1604
01:14:23,520 --> 01:14:25,439
Speaker 13: there's smokes in a lot of fire. And I found

1605
01:14:25,479 --> 01:14:28,040
Speaker 13: it very interesting that Adam Schefter had something to say

1606
01:14:28,080 --> 01:14:30,760
Speaker 13: about this. Peter King flips that stuff in and we

1607
01:14:30,880 --> 01:14:32,120
Speaker 13: know that those guys talk to Jerry.

1608
01:14:32,479 --> 01:14:32,800
Speaker 3: Oh yeah.

1609
01:14:34,720 --> 01:14:38,320
Speaker 13: But what I know about Jerry because I know some

1610
01:14:38,439 --> 01:14:40,840
Speaker 13: of the moving pieces in the past. Man, he's thrown

1611
01:14:40,840 --> 01:14:43,479
Speaker 13: out Sean Payton for yours I mean the myth and

1612
01:14:43,600 --> 01:14:47,719
Speaker 13: the legend that was Sean Payton just hovered over Jason

1613
01:14:47,760 --> 01:14:50,800
Speaker 13: garrett shoulder for so long and he ultimately didn't do

1614
01:14:50,920 --> 01:14:54,920
Speaker 13: it right. Sometimes I feel like Jerry and Stephen Jones

1615
01:14:54,920 --> 01:14:57,160
Speaker 13: alluded to this this week on one of Fight Through

1616
01:14:57,160 --> 01:15:00,360
Speaker 13: the Fans. You know, we're in a talent evaluation business

1617
01:15:00,400 --> 01:15:03,040
Speaker 13: and the coach is no different. And so I think

1618
01:15:03,080 --> 01:15:05,559
Speaker 13: it all depends because I would like to credit Mike

1619
01:15:05,640 --> 01:15:09,280
Speaker 13: McCarthy for three twelve one season, you know, a third

1620
01:15:09,360 --> 01:15:13,320
Speaker 13: straight trip to the postseason. What's hurt him is those

1621
01:15:13,439 --> 01:15:18,240
Speaker 13: two not just losses but embarrassing losses. You know, Dack

1622
01:15:18,640 --> 01:15:21,320
Speaker 13: failing to spike the ball in time against Jimmy Garoppolo

1623
01:15:21,600 --> 01:15:24,000
Speaker 13: in the forty nine ers in Dallas. And then last year,

1624
01:15:24,600 --> 01:15:28,280
Speaker 13: you know our lingering image of Zeke lining up at

1625
01:15:28,400 --> 01:15:31,799
Speaker 13: center and lasted. You know, it's last time in the uniform.

1626
01:15:31,880 --> 01:15:34,799
Speaker 13: When Tony Pollard went down. They seemingly had no answers

1627
01:15:35,000 --> 01:15:39,040
Speaker 13: on offense. And so if they were to get if

1628
01:15:39,080 --> 01:15:42,280
Speaker 13: they were to get beat at home to Green Bay,

1629
01:15:42,439 --> 01:15:46,960
Speaker 13: Green Bay by this team with this young defense, then

1630
01:15:47,080 --> 01:15:49,560
Speaker 13: I think we're having a more serious discussion about the

1631
01:15:49,640 --> 01:15:53,519
Speaker 13: hot seat that is Mike McCarthy. But I think finding

1632
01:15:53,640 --> 01:15:58,200
Speaker 13: continuity is hard, and I think finding a coach that

1633
01:15:58,360 --> 01:16:01,800
Speaker 13: has sort of delegated and endeared himself to that locker

1634
01:16:01,880 --> 01:16:03,600
Speaker 13: room in the sense that he lets them sleep in

1635
01:16:03,680 --> 01:16:07,240
Speaker 13: their beds before home games, which a lot of fans

1636
01:16:07,320 --> 01:16:12,360
Speaker 13: may not know. That's that's not normal, that is correct,

1637
01:16:12,920 --> 01:16:14,560
Speaker 13: And to the players it may not sound like a

1638
01:16:14,600 --> 01:16:16,200
Speaker 13: big gilt of those of us on the outside, but

1639
01:16:16,280 --> 01:16:19,360
Speaker 13: the players say, might trust them as men, and to

1640
01:16:19,520 --> 01:16:22,360
Speaker 13: their credit, you would think these guys might be outpointing

1641
01:16:22,360 --> 01:16:24,960
Speaker 13: the night before old Cowboys teams, I covered dead Alex.

1642
01:16:25,680 --> 01:16:25,960
Speaker 1: And then.

1643
01:16:27,600 --> 01:16:32,000
Speaker 13: Right they they haven't uh and they haven't lost one

1644
01:16:32,120 --> 01:16:35,720
Speaker 13: yet at home. The kids more better in rest days.

1645
01:16:35,760 --> 01:16:37,720
Speaker 13: And if you talk to a player, the one thing

1646
01:16:37,800 --> 01:16:39,639
Speaker 13: they love the most about a coach is a coach

1647
01:16:39,680 --> 01:16:42,240
Speaker 13: that preserves their body so that they can play longer.

1648
01:16:42,840 --> 01:16:47,880
Speaker 13: And so those little things, and whether Mike deserves the

1649
01:16:47,920 --> 01:16:50,679
Speaker 13: credit for this offense or some would say DAK and CD.

1650
01:16:50,920 --> 01:16:52,760
Speaker 13: After the bye week, so it came together and said,

1651
01:16:52,760 --> 01:16:55,519
Speaker 13: we're not doing these short you know, passing routes. We're

1652
01:16:55,520 --> 01:16:58,679
Speaker 13: going to open this book up. Blah blah blah. Who knows,

1653
01:16:58,840 --> 01:17:01,599
Speaker 13: But I was talking curse about this this weekend. He said,

1654
01:17:02,000 --> 01:17:05,599
Speaker 13: it's not a dictatorship around here. Mike values our input

1655
01:17:06,160 --> 01:17:09,160
Speaker 13: so that stuff can't be understated. So I don't know

1656
01:17:09,240 --> 01:17:11,400
Speaker 13: what to make of these rumors. I think it's easy

1657
01:17:11,439 --> 01:17:13,599
Speaker 13: and it's low hanging fruit. Bill Belichick is out there.

1658
01:17:14,520 --> 01:17:17,120
Speaker 13: A couple of years ago, back in twenty nineteen, Jerry

1659
01:17:17,160 --> 01:17:19,280
Speaker 13: went on the radio and talked about this really interesting

1660
01:17:19,360 --> 01:17:21,680
Speaker 13: story where he was on the ski slope in a

1661
01:17:21,840 --> 01:17:25,160
Speaker 13: snowmous and acid, and Bill of all people, tapped him

1662
01:17:25,160 --> 01:17:27,839
Speaker 13: on the shoulder Wiles rinting out skis for his grandkids,

1663
01:17:27,880 --> 01:17:30,160
Speaker 13: and said, you know I can coach. Do you ever

1664
01:17:30,200 --> 01:17:33,040
Speaker 13: have a head coaching job? Think of me? And Bill,

1665
01:17:33,160 --> 01:17:36,000
Speaker 13: a man of very few words to reporters, we had

1666
01:17:36,040 --> 01:17:40,040
Speaker 13: a very lengthy conversation about his love and admiration for Jerry.

1667
01:17:40,080 --> 01:17:41,920
Speaker 13: When I ran into him in Miami. It's a super Bowl,

1668
01:17:42,479 --> 01:17:45,840
Speaker 13: and so I think that they're intrigue as it relates

1669
01:17:45,880 --> 01:17:47,240
Speaker 13: it to put money on it.

1670
01:17:48,120 --> 01:17:50,479
Speaker 2: You taking it, you're taking cowboys are doing pretty good.

1671
01:17:50,640 --> 01:17:53,519
Speaker 2: You think they're can do, but they're going to Jane,

1672
01:17:53,600 --> 01:17:55,840
Speaker 2: I love you so much. I am getting waived by

Speaker 17: Here's a little drop back and I'll pass to Previn

1684
01:18:21,960 --> 01:18:24,360
Speaker 17: Jordan right side across the thirty five puns inside forty

1685
01:18:24,479 --> 01:18:27,120
Speaker 17: fifty the forty right side on Who's gonna go all

1686
01:18:27,160 --> 01:18:32,600
Speaker 17: the way? Brevin Jordan to the end zone? No flex touchdown.

1687
01:18:33,080 --> 01:18:34,640
Speaker 17: My goodness, the.

1688
01:18:34,840 --> 01:18:39,439
Speaker 15: Texans go seventy six yards in one play to retake

1689
01:18:39,479 --> 01:18:40,519
Speaker 15: the lead on Cleveland.

1690
01:18:40,920 --> 01:18:42,640
Speaker 4: My goodness is right. You heard it all on the

1691
01:18:42,680 --> 01:18:45,639
Speaker 4: Texans radio network. They're up on the Brown seventeen fourteen,

1692
01:18:45,680 --> 01:18:46,960
Speaker 4: two minutes to go in the first half.

1693
01:18:47,000 --> 01:18:47,800
Speaker 3: And it has been an.

1694
01:18:47,760 --> 01:18:51,920
Speaker 4: Exciting first half, first game of Super Wald Card Weekend.

1695
01:18:52,560 --> 01:18:56,080

Speaker 14: Through last week? Alex? You went to and two, Moncey,

1708
01:19:27,760 --> 01:19:29,680
Speaker 14: I hate that. I'm gonna say this four and oh

1709
01:19:30,280 --> 01:19:32,280
Speaker 14: last week I didn't even know.

1710
01:19:32,560 --> 01:19:32,720
Speaker 7: Yeah.

1711
01:19:32,800 --> 01:19:36,200
Speaker 14: Season totals Alex thirty eight, twenty two or thirty eight

1712
01:19:36,240 --> 01:19:38,320
Speaker 14: and maybe some of the nose I did my math wrong.

1713
01:19:38,640 --> 01:19:41,000
Speaker 14: Twenty two Yeah, okay, forty seven to twenty one for Monty.

1714
01:19:41,600 --> 01:19:44,360
Speaker 14: We're gonna do this pretty quickly. Here, guys, Dolphins at Chiefs.

1715
01:19:44,439 --> 01:19:45,839
Speaker 14: Chiefs of four and a half point favorite.

1716
01:19:45,920 --> 01:19:48,000
Speaker 2: I'm taking the Chiefs. This is Mahomes bread and butter.

1717
01:19:48,120 --> 01:19:51,200
Speaker 2: They're playing at home, it is in freezing conditions. It's

1718
01:19:51,240 --> 01:19:53,600
Speaker 2: gonna be a running game, and because of that, I

1719
01:19:53,680 --> 01:19:56,040
Speaker 2: think it evens the playing field a little more for

1720
01:19:56,200 --> 01:19:56,760
Speaker 2: Kansas City.

1721
01:19:57,280 --> 01:19:59,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, I also I am taking Kansas City all right.

1722
01:20:00,040 --> 01:20:02,400
Speaker 14: Steelers at the Bills. This game got moved to Monday.

1723
01:20:02,520 --> 01:20:04,280
Speaker 14: It did the Bills. I believe they're a nine and

1724
01:20:04,320 --> 01:20:05,400
Speaker 14: a half ten point favorite.

1725
01:20:05,600 --> 01:20:06,600
Speaker 1: I go.

1726
01:20:06,880 --> 01:20:09,120
Speaker 4: I'm taking the Bills. I think they're on a good

1727
01:20:09,200 --> 01:20:11,680
Speaker 4: roll right now, and as much as the Steelers have

1728
01:20:11,800 --> 01:20:14,800
Speaker 4: a really good defense that Josh Allen is not going

1729
01:20:14,880 --> 01:20:15,400
Speaker 4: to lose that game.

1730
01:20:15,479 --> 01:20:17,200
Speaker 3: No, this is a must win for Josh Allen and

1731
01:20:17,240 --> 01:20:18,800
Speaker 3: the Bills. I'm taking the Bills, all right.

1732
01:20:18,920 --> 01:20:22,160
Speaker 14: Packers at Cowboys Cowboys seven point favorite at home.

1733

1734
01:20:24,320 --> 01:20:26,560
Speaker 2: They're undefeated at home this season, and this is a

1735
01:20:26,960 --> 01:20:29,120
Speaker 2: must win game for Doc and McCarthy's jobs.

1736
01:20:29,160 --> 01:20:29,560
Speaker 3: I'm with you.

1737
