00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:14,640
Speaker 3: I mean he depleted roster.

22
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:17,600
Speaker 2: What a gutty performance.

23
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:19,560
Speaker 1: Hang a banner. It was. It was Jalen Brunson and

24
00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:22,080
Speaker 1: Unobi and I think John Starks played a few minutes

25
00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:24,720
Speaker 1: off the bench. Doesn't matter. The Knicks win Brunton, it's

26
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:27,839
Speaker 1: a big three, you heard it. Monsie's update. Then Indiana

27
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:30,759
Speaker 1: one last chance inbounding the ball o Gianna Noby gets

28
00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:33,880
Speaker 1: the steal, goes down, uh to the other end, time

29
00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:37,640
Speaker 1: runs out. Yeah, we'll look back at the season four

30
00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:41,160
Speaker 1: the Pacers as they have now been eliminated from playoff contentment.

31
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:44,680
Speaker 3: Well, they've already eliminated Halliburton too, right, I mean there's

32
00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:47,640
Speaker 3: all sorts of stuff going on. Well, he's everywhere, Dodger

33
00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:51,720
Speaker 3: fans everywhere, wrestling shows, I mean, he's out on the

34
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:52,640
Speaker 3: banquet circuit.

35
00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:55,520
Speaker 1: You got all of that. So yeah, it's chaotic.

36
00:01:55,600 --> 00:02:00,040
Speaker 3: Knight, Welcome back to the NBA in earnest right, a

37
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:02,520
Speaker 3: little more of a full schedule as we get ready

38
00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:04,360
Speaker 3: for the start of the regular season next week.

39
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:08,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, with the Christmas holiday, I mean, look all Halliburton

40
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:10,840
Speaker 1: had to do hit one shot, do the choke gesture,

41
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:13,480
Speaker 1: and now he doesn't have to play. He's everywhere. I see,

42
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:16,480
Speaker 1: he's every day, I see him doing something. He is everywhere.

43
00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:19,160
Speaker 1: Good for him, these pesky games, I don't need them anymore.

44
00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:21,240
Speaker 1: I hit the big shot last year. We're never getting

45
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:23,880
Speaker 1: back to the finals. Okay, Yeah, I'm gonna dine out

46
00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:25,240
Speaker 1: on this for a while, as you should.

47
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:28,160
Speaker 3: Hey, when you can find your wins man, like we

48
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:30,440
Speaker 3: talked about it, raise your banner, even if it's your

49
00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:33,840
Speaker 3: makeshift one. You should just make one to go to

50
00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:35,960
Speaker 3: the garden and just pin it on the back wall.

51
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 3: What's that guy doing in the three hundred level? Well,

52
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:40,600
Speaker 3: I'll tell you meanwhile.

53
00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:45,840
Speaker 1: Thursday night football, and it has been every bit the

54
00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:50,360
Speaker 1: close game we expected between the Rams and the Seahawks.

55
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:53,880
Speaker 1: Eight thirty nine to go in the third quarter and

56
00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:57,680
Speaker 1: the Rams have taken a sixteen to fourteen lead field

57
00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:01,200
Speaker 1: goal just seconds ago. Mevas is good, so give it

58
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:05,519
Speaker 1: a sixteen to fourteen lead. And this game it's it's

59
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:08,840
Speaker 1: one of those where you see the score and you

60
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:11,320
Speaker 1: think one thing, and you watch the game and you

61
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:14,959
Speaker 1: think another. Because the Rams have done anything they wanted

62
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:17,480
Speaker 1: to do in this game. They are up and down

63
00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:20,920
Speaker 1: the field against this Seahawks defense, up and down. But

64
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:23,200
Speaker 1: what have they not been able to do? They've not

65
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 1: been able to convert in the red zone. This is

66
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:28,120
Speaker 1: where they missed Devonte Adams, who of course is not

67
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:31,679
Speaker 1: playing tonight, on the sideline cheering his ass off. Oh yeah,

68
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:34,400
Speaker 1: but this is where you can tell boy down low.

69
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:36,400
Speaker 1: They really miss them. And they got screwed on a

70
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:40,440
Speaker 1: penalty the first drive on a touchdown play where they

71
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:43,200
Speaker 1: got ruled for an eligible man downfield on the one

72
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:47,000
Speaker 1: yard line, which it seems man, really, you really, and

73
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:50,040
Speaker 1: all the guard did was drive the defender back, defender

74
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:52,520
Speaker 1: pulls him down and you get called for that. Hey,

75
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:54,440
Speaker 1: go pookin a cool you want to insult the rest,

76
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 1: We're gonna take that touchdown away from you.

77
00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:59,400
Speaker 3: Oh no, you didn't just go down that kid, you

78
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:01,880
Speaker 3: know know, I'll tell you. But yeah, they've got three

79
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:04,520
Speaker 3: hundred and twenty three yards of total offense the end

80
00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:07,160
Speaker 3: of the first half. They had nearly twenty two minutes

81
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:11,800
Speaker 3: of possession. And as you we're watching this thing unfold,

82
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:15,880
Speaker 3: it's the Sam Darnold's got seven pass attempts. Yeah, you

83
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:18,880
Speaker 3: had a big play with Cooper Cup where he ends

84
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:23,520
Speaker 3: up getting the ball dislodged. H You've had JSN running sprints.

85
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:25,279
Speaker 3: He's been big fed zero.

86
00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:28,960
Speaker 1: J said, Big fed zero tonight, no judges for the

87
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:33,520
Speaker 1: best receiver in the NFL. In semi final week in fantasy,

88
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:37,039
Speaker 1: the guys got zero catches, big fat zero, big fed zero.

89
00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:41,200
Speaker 3: Montsy perked up, like what, yes, yeah, I know I

90
00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:46,120
Speaker 3: got from the WW I got the the worst of it. Like,

91
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:48,520
Speaker 3: I'll do the podcast right the iWatch of flax Dan

92
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:51,920
Speaker 3: byer Seahawks fan. If he gets a win and then

93
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:55,360
Speaker 3: I have nothing for j Jackson Smith and Jigba. Yeah,

94
00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:57,320
Speaker 3: I'm gonna be pissed. Yeah, it's gonna be tough, right,

95
00:04:57,360 --> 00:04:59,279
Speaker 3: I mean he gets to double down. Hey, not only

96
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:02,760
Speaker 3: is he eating the NFC, they'll have the twelve wins.

97
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:03,400
Speaker 4: It.

98
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:06,320
Speaker 1: I got it, Zero, I warned you last night. That's

99
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:08,480
Speaker 1: what's the last hour of the show. You're like, well, no,

100
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:10,479
Speaker 1: I don't worry about say I trusting. It's gonna be tough,

101
00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:11,280
Speaker 1: and now look where you are.

102
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:13,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, but you can't shut it. You know what, expected

103
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:15,520
Speaker 3: to get shut down altogether. In fact, Zero, I'm not

104
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:19,320
Speaker 3: expecting twenty five points. I'm not looking for a big

105
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:21,880
Speaker 3: Neither of us are getting points now now. I don't

106
00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:23,760
Speaker 3: know if I even get five points of them. I

107
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:25,080
Speaker 3: field like at least like a five.

108
00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:27,000
Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm gonna be many people care about

109
00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:30,520
Speaker 1: your fantasy team a lot of it. They care about him,

110
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:33,080
Speaker 1: they care about Jackson Smith and Jig but getting Er

111
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:36,160
Speaker 1: because they have them in fantasy, or they're going against it.

112
00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:40,600
Speaker 1: They're either very happy. It's all listen. I'm happy because

113
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:44,760
Speaker 1: the Knicks just eliminated the Pacer. We won the last night.

114
00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:47,599
Speaker 1: Now we eliminated the Pacers. It's a big couple of nights.

115
00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:50,600
Speaker 1: But you're a sick man from this game, like this

116
00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:52,880
Speaker 1: is the thing to worry about all of a sudden,

117
00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:55,600
Speaker 1: now with the with the sex that they've had two

118
00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:58,920
Speaker 1: plays tonight, they've had two plays, and and uh and

119
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:01,719
Speaker 1: and Walker's got both the screen pass for forty six

120
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:03,880
Speaker 1: yards and the big forty yard touchdown run a few

121
00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:06,560
Speaker 1: months ago. They have nothing else. They can do nothing

122
00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:08,040
Speaker 1: against this Rams defense.

123
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:11,880
Speaker 3: Dad the one drive that ends up getting chopped off

124
00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:14,000
Speaker 3: at the knees because Cup gets the ball to lives.

125
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:16,000
Speaker 1: They were gonna be first in goal from.

126
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:19,000
Speaker 3: The fifth, what from the nine or or whatever, first

127
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:22,080
Speaker 3: and ten from the fifteen or whatever whatever the marker was.

128
00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:24,520
Speaker 3: But the point was you finally hit out a big

129
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:26,839
Speaker 3: play over the middle and maybe you open things up,

130
00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:28,920
Speaker 3: it's like, nope, get it back to the Rams, who

131
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:32,120
Speaker 3: then can have another big, long, protracted drive.

132
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:34,159
Speaker 1: Big fat zero. They just try to go to Jackson

133
00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:36,840
Speaker 1: Smith the jigger right there, and somehow the ball hit

134
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:38,880
Speaker 1: the ground about ten feet in front of him, big

135
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:41,680
Speaker 1: fat zero. But that's the part of this game. And

136
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:44,719
Speaker 1: this is where, look, Sam Darnold, people have to understand,

137
00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:48,000
Speaker 1: he's a good quarterback. Is he worth thirty million a year? Absolutely,

138
00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:49,960
Speaker 1: I'd rather pay him thirty million, even though he's been

139
00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:51,640
Speaker 1: on a heater the last couple of weeks. I'd rather

140
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:54,120
Speaker 1: pay him thirty million than Trevor Lawrence fifty five million.

141
00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:58,400
Speaker 1: So yeah, is he a good quarterback. Yes, However, you

142
00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:02,200
Speaker 1: can see there's games where it's just not his night

143
00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:04,640
Speaker 1: and he has no idea what to do and he

144
00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:07,400
Speaker 1: looks lost. And the worst thing for the Seahawks is

145
00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:09,600
Speaker 1: I guarantee you every Seahawks fan watching this, you're seeing

146
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:11,880
Speaker 1: the two best teams in the NFL playing right now.

147
00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:13,800
Speaker 1: And this is why I said last night, I was

148
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:16,040
Speaker 1: picking the Rams on the road because I know their

149
00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:18,560
Speaker 1: defense is going to turn Sam Darnald to what he

150
00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:21,920
Speaker 1: was last time, which was four picks. Right, Sam Donald,

151
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:25,040
Speaker 1: this is a very bad matchup for him. This Rams

152
00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:28,160
Speaker 1: are a very bad matchup. And I'm not surprised you're

153
00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:31,800
Speaker 1: seeing him struggle like they are tonight because look four

154
00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:33,280
Speaker 1: picks last time. You know it's going to be in

155
00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:35,360
Speaker 1: his head coming into this game. You know that whatever

156
00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:38,680
Speaker 1: special sauce Sean McVeagh has for him, this is now

157
00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:41,239
Speaker 1: out here again. Again, the best receiver in the NFL

158
00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:43,000
Speaker 1: does not have a catch night. You have not figured

159
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:45,280
Speaker 1: out any way to get him the football at least

160
00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:48,040
Speaker 1: one time. No screen pass, no anything. No, we're just

161
00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:50,400
Speaker 1: gonna find a way to not give our best player

162
00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:53,520
Speaker 1: the football. So yeah, if you are the Seahawks, the

163
00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:56,280
Speaker 1: last team you want to see in any of this

164
00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:58,720
Speaker 1: in the playoffs going forward, you do not want to

165
00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:00,440
Speaker 1: see the Rams because even though there's some still in

166
00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:02,520
Speaker 1: this game, you do not want to see them because

167
00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:04,640
Speaker 1: you can see that Donald is not the same. Well,

168
00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:06,680
Speaker 1: but I mean they've done a great job playing a

169
00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:08,040
Speaker 1: keep away, right.

170
00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:12,520
Speaker 3: You haven't had anything in terms of defensive effort except

171
00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:15,120
Speaker 3: they stiffened at the goal line and you've been able

172
00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:18,400
Speaker 3: to force field goals. The faux penalty as you called it,

173
00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:21,360
Speaker 3: a little bit earlier help distall that drive and keep

174
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:24,000
Speaker 3: them out of the end zone. So fine, but when

175
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:26,680
Speaker 3: we're talking about twenty one minutes of possession, like you

176
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:28,120
Speaker 3: don't even have the ball, you don't even have to

177
00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:31,200
Speaker 3: get get started. The offensive line's been overwhelmed. They've done

178
00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:34,400
Speaker 3: a good job up front to where Donald he can't

179
00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:36,559
Speaker 3: even get to step up in the pocket and he's

180
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:40,520
Speaker 3: getting bludgeoned. So you know, for his part, not that

181
00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:43,319
Speaker 3: I'm gonna go and bang the bang the drum and

182
00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:45,320
Speaker 3: be the most ardent of Sam Darnald.

183
00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:48,000
Speaker 1: Whisperers and all of this stuff.

184
00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:50,960
Speaker 3: He's seven of ten, so not like he's he's thrown

185
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:53,120
Speaker 3: the ball into harm's way and he's been terrible. Well,

186
00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:54,840
Speaker 3: they just haven't been able to get anything.

187
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:58,600
Speaker 1: They can't. They keep going three and out right, and

188
00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:01,559
Speaker 1: you look at their plays. Their first okay it wasn't

189
00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:03,680
Speaker 1: but you got the big, the big forty five yard

190
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:06,079
Speaker 1: screen pass. Okay. Everything else has been three and out,

191
00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:07,640
Speaker 1: three and out, three and out, three and out, three

192
00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:09,920
Speaker 1: and out, and then they get the big run on

193
00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:13,520
Speaker 1: the last play fifty yards by Walker. That's been it. Like,

194
00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:15,960
Speaker 1: it's not like he's not been able to get anywhere

195
00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:18,160
Speaker 1: with the football they've not been able to look. And

196
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:22,079
Speaker 1: this is not suddenly that, Hey, Sam Darnald stinks people.

197
00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:25,079
Speaker 1: You know, the five best defenses in the NFL, you

198
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:27,479
Speaker 1: got two of them playing tonight. You got the Texans,

199
00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:30,720
Speaker 1: you have the Broncos. I mean, that's that's where that's

200
00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:32,960
Speaker 1: where you're at with with talk about teams that are

201
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:35,400
Speaker 1: the best defenses in the league, and and you're seeing

202
00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:37,880
Speaker 1: them do it tonight. Except the Rams are having a

203
00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:40,800
Speaker 1: little bit more success on this and they're playing it

204
00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:43,760
Speaker 1: like I thought it was going to be and the Rams,

205
00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:45,880
Speaker 1: if you played the Rams defense, you might be getting

206
00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:49,320
Speaker 1: a pick six because Sam Darnald just threw the ball

207
00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:52,280
Speaker 1: right to a dB. I can't tell who it was

208
00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:54,959
Speaker 1: was Wallace. I think with the pick, where's Wallace at string?

209
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:57,640
Speaker 1: That's what I want to know, Donald, where's Wallace at

210
00:09:57,760 --> 00:09:59,880
Speaker 1: That's all I want to know. Where's Wallace at? Wallace

211
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:02,680
Speaker 1: catches the pass, takes it all the way down to

212
00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:05,000
Speaker 1: the one yard by to believe he was tackled just

213
00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:07,959
Speaker 1: short of the goal job by Kenneth Walker. So this

214
00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:10,679
Speaker 1: is gonna be a first and goal for the Rams,

215
00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:15,319
Speaker 1: a near pick six. As Donald continues to struggle. I mean,

216
00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:17,600
Speaker 1: I don't know Wallace was standing in the flat. I

217
00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:19,600
Speaker 1: don't know why Darnald thought he could get it in there.

218
00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:21,640
Speaker 1: He thought a really.

219
00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:24,920
Speaker 3: Tough to say receiver going inside, thought he was going

220
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:25,760
Speaker 3: to trail with him.

221
00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:26,720
Speaker 1: Instead, he just stayed.

222
00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:29,520
Speaker 3: I had let the safety come up to pick him up,

223
00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:31,960
Speaker 3: and he was standing there saying, peekaboo.

224
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:34,920
Speaker 1: I got you. Yeah, there's literally on ce you get

225
00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:35,480
Speaker 1: the big hit.

226
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:38,240
Speaker 3: So look, if you got Blake corm or Kiron Williams,

227
00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:39,920
Speaker 3: will roll the dice, see which one of them comes

228
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:41,480
Speaker 3: out for the first in goal.

229
00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:44,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, Carrie, you are happy right now if you are

230
00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:44,440
Speaker 1: played ball.

231
00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:46,559
Speaker 3: Suddenly he got a gift because neither one of those

232
00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:49,319
Speaker 3: guys exactly lighting it up to this point, but potential

233
00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:50,840
Speaker 3: to get on the board here.

234
00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:52,720
Speaker 1: But look, this is why I went when when I

235
00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:55,240
Speaker 1: look and say who the best teams in the NFL

236
00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:57,720
Speaker 1: are and I talk about the Rams being the best team.

237
00:10:57,720 --> 00:10:59,680
Speaker 1: Blake Korms in the end zone from a yard out,

238
00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:03,000
Speaker 1: So give the touchdown to the Rams, extra point pending

239
00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:08,200
Speaker 1: twenty two to fourteen. The thing is is that now

240
00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:10,040
Speaker 1: the year in December, and I know we look at

241
00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:11,920
Speaker 1: it with teams like the Dolphins and teams a boy,

242
00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:13,880
Speaker 1: and they're not going on the road and winning in December.

243
00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:16,040
Speaker 1: But you have to understand that that's got to be

244
00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:18,520
Speaker 1: the same way for the contenders too. Not just you're

245
00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:20,720
Speaker 1: going on the road, but you can win in a

246
00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:23,600
Speaker 1: hostile environment, and you can win any kind of game.

247
00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:25,800
Speaker 1: And that's the thing about this Rams seam. They can

248
00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:27,520
Speaker 1: win a big shootout, right. Always look at the end

249
00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:29,560
Speaker 1: of the year. Who can win any kind of game?

250
00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:32,240
Speaker 1: The Rams can because as you've seen with Stafford's year,

251
00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:34,360
Speaker 1: they can win any kind of They can win a shootout,

252
00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:36,080
Speaker 1: they can win when they have to run the football,

253
00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:38,319
Speaker 1: they win when they have to lean on the defense

254
00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:39,959
Speaker 1: to be able to do it. They can do all

255
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:42,840
Speaker 1: of these things. Nobody else can do that like the Rams.

256
00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:44,800
Speaker 1: And here's a night where you think, Okay, it's gonna

257
00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:48,040
Speaker 1: be really tough, short week in Seattle, no DeVante Adams,

258
00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:49,920
Speaker 1: and here there are the nine point lead midway through

259
00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:53,280
Speaker 1: the third quarter and the Seahawks offense outside of two plays,

260
00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:56,440
Speaker 1: has done absolutely nothing. I mean, they had to stumble

261
00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:58,600
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago, but I don't know the

262
00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:01,320
Speaker 1: top to bottom there a team as good and this

263
00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:04,240
Speaker 1: solid as the Rams are right now in the NFL.

264
00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:08,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, we spoke that interception into existence certainly as we

265
00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:09,480
Speaker 3: started the show.

266
00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:10,280
Speaker 1: So there you got.

267
00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:14,280
Speaker 3: Sorry, Sam Darnold and Seahawks faithful for that one. But yeah, no,

268
00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:17,160
Speaker 3: Devonte Adams. So you change up your down distance and

269
00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:19,520
Speaker 3: how you go and do your play calling in the

270
00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:21,559
Speaker 3: red zone for sure, And I think you know to

271
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:24,640
Speaker 3: steal from other sports, right, it's one of those step

272
00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:26,840
Speaker 3: up in class kind of moments where you think you're

273
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:29,119
Speaker 3: a heavyweight in your conference.

274
00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:32,360
Speaker 1: We look at the NBA. Everybody can measure up really

275
00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:34,600
Speaker 1: well against the other teams in the West, and then

276
00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:37,400
Speaker 1: you've got okc out there. Doesn't mean they don't stub

277
00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:40,400
Speaker 1: their tone now and again doesn't mean that they're not gonna,

278
00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:43,280
Speaker 1: you know, maybe lose I don't know eight games, But

279
00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:45,560
Speaker 1: all of that to say that, you know, that's your

280
00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:49,160
Speaker 1: measuring stick of where you are between good and great,

281
00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:51,400
Speaker 1: And the same thing here with this Ram squad.

282
00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:53,920
Speaker 3: You got two carries for six yards out of Matthew

283
00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:54,800
Speaker 3: Stafford tonight.

284
00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:55,360
Speaker 1: Yeah.

285
00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:57,200
Speaker 3: I don't think his over under has been over a

286
00:12:57,240 --> 00:12:59,520
Speaker 3: half yard since he was a rookie.

287
00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:02,560
Speaker 1: He hasn't, he hasn't had six yards rushing in a

288
00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:06,120
Speaker 1: game since twenty ten with the lunch. I just made

289
00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:06,440
Speaker 1: that up, but.

290
00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:10,000
Speaker 3: It sounds good. It would I think everybody would believe that.

291
00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:12,440
Speaker 3: But you know, you look at the way they've distributed

292
00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:15,479
Speaker 3: the ball. You've got what six or seven different receivers.

293
00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:19,200
Speaker 3: The all three tight ends have been involved in the

294
00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:22,120
Speaker 3: passing game, which is one of the things the thirteen

295
00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:24,480
Speaker 3: personnel Greg co Sell and I've talked about that a

296
00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:27,439
Speaker 3: lot on the Sunday Show, how in season all of

297
00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:29,840
Speaker 3: a sudden you had an adjustment there and it's meant

298
00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:33,960
Speaker 3: wonders for their run game. But certainly keeping Matthew Stafford

299
00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:37,360
Speaker 3: upright is first and foremost in paramount to your success,

300
00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:40,839
Speaker 3: and they've done such a great job with that in Nikua,

301
00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:43,199
Speaker 3: trying to make up for all sorts of stupidity. He's

302
00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:46,000
Speaker 3: got four catches for seventy four yards and you've gotten

303
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:48,280
Speaker 3: good balance and he's just owned time of possession.

304
00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:52,080
Speaker 1: The lean is real. Exit out about a Fresco exit

305
00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:55,160
Speaker 1: swelling down The Jason Smith Show with my best friend

306
00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:58,280
Speaker 1: Mike Harmon live from the Fox Sports Radio Studios. Extra

307
00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:01,640
Speaker 1: point is Up and good again. Twenty three to fourteen

308
00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:04,640
Speaker 1: is the lead for the Rams right now. Again, still

309
00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:07,400
Speaker 1: a lot of time left and JSN did catch a pass,

310
00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:09,520
Speaker 1: so it's got a big fat zero for him now anymore.

311
00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:11,240
Speaker 1: Now he's got about two and a half. So okay,

312
00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:14,520
Speaker 1: all right, Hey, long road begins with the first step. Yay,

313

Speaker 1: He is the way tire buying should be. Well, Thursday

352
00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:17,320
Speaker 1: Night Football, late third quarter, Rams with the lead and

353
00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:19,440
Speaker 1: the football. They have the ball first and ten their

354
00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:22,920
Speaker 1: own fifteen yard line. They lead the Seahawks twenty three

355
00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:25,920
Speaker 1: to fourteen. I know it seems close, but if you

356
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:28,080
Speaker 1: watch the game seen of it is like, wow, the

357
00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:31,920
Speaker 1: Rams are absolutely dominant. Stafford's thrown for two thirty. The

358
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:34,320
Speaker 1: Rams have run for one hundred. They have done whatever

359
00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:38,320
Speaker 1: they've wanted to. Meanwhile, Sam Darnold big pick that could

360
00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:40,960
Speaker 1: flip the game in the Rams favor forever. As the

361
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:43,520
Speaker 1: Rams get down to the one yard line, Blake corm

362
00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:47,360
Speaker 1: touchdown run gives them the big lead. They have thrown

363
00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:49,000
Speaker 1: for one hundred and twenty six yards to night. They're

364
00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:51,120
Speaker 1: running the ball, okay, right, Kenneth Kenneth Walker has a

365
00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:53,880
Speaker 1: couple of big plays. But this has been the Rams

366
00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:57,640
Speaker 1: defense putting a stamp on this game so far. And

367
00:16:57,680 --> 00:17:00,440
Speaker 1: here are the Seahawks chasing non you know, with a

368
00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:01,680
Speaker 1: little bit over a quarter left to go.

369
00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:04,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, great work by the Rams offensive line getting to

370
00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:08,560
Speaker 3: push and just dominant time of possession has been ridiculous.

371
00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:12,600
Speaker 3: Stafford's fourteen of twenty one on the night, had a

372
00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:16,680
Speaker 3: couple of big rushing efforts to extend drives, so all

373
00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:19,120
Speaker 3: of it, you know, it's been fantastic. In the next

374
00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:22,240
Speaker 3: score touchdown, the next touchdown takes us to the over.

375
00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:24,359
Speaker 1: So here we are again two and a half to

376
00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:26,480
Speaker 1: go in the third quarter, again Rams with the football

377
00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:29,000
Speaker 1: deep in their own end, nine point lead over the Seahawks.

378
00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:33,040
Speaker 1: So we've made it to the fact that, wow, you know,

379
00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:35,639
Speaker 1: bowl season I always it used to be before this

380
00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:38,200
Speaker 1: advanced playoff the way we go in now with with

381
00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:40,800
Speaker 1: with the twelve teams, something like, well, we take a

382
00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:42,920
Speaker 1: couple of weeks off and then slowly the bowl games

383
00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:44,640
Speaker 1: trickle in, and now it's like no no, no, no

384
00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:46,800
Speaker 1: no no no no, no, no, no, nout. We're starting

385
00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:49,359
Speaker 1: to bowl games right away. And now we've made it.

386
00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:52,840
Speaker 1: Our first playoff game is tomorrow. Way more at stake

387
00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:55,800
Speaker 1: than just Alabama Oklahoma the winner moving on to the

388
00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:58,919
Speaker 1: next round of the playoffs. This is probably gonna be

389
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:01,399
Speaker 1: the best game of the first round. You have a

390
00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:05,720
Speaker 1: couple of games out there like ooh man, really James Madison,

391
00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:09,560
Speaker 1: good luck, but uh more at stake tomorrow because now

392
00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:14,160
Speaker 1: for the game itself, neither of these offenses are playing well. Right,

393
00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:18,800
Speaker 1: You've seen the Alabama hasn't played well in weeks, and

394
00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:21,919
Speaker 1: and matiir and the and the Oklahoma offense was up early,

395
00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:23,440
Speaker 1: then it was down when he got hurt, and they're

396
00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:27,160
Speaker 1: still not back. Oklahoma's defense is I like it better

397
00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:30,480
Speaker 1: than Alabama. So I'm leaning Oklahoma in this game. But

398
00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:34,199
Speaker 1: the biggest thing is that all of a sudden, Calin

399
00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:38,040
Speaker 1: de Boor's situation is gonna take front and center tomorrow

400
00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:42,239
Speaker 1: night because his name has not disappeared from all of

401
00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:45,480
Speaker 1: the Michigan rumors as they look to replace Sharon More.

402
00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:48,560
Speaker 1: And they could have had any of the other guys

403
00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:50,919
Speaker 1: they wanted, right, if they really want Kenny Dillingham, Right,

404
00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:53,800
Speaker 1: if he was their first choice, they could hire the guy. Right,

405
00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:55,679
Speaker 1: they could get him now, because it went from all

406
00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:57,639
Speaker 1: where where are they gonna go? Who's it gonna be?

407
00:18:57,720 --> 00:18:59,960
Speaker 1: Is it gonna be Jed Fish? Well, if they want

408
00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:02,000
Speaker 1: to Jed Fish. If Jed Fish was the guy, they

409
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:04,120
Speaker 1: would hire him right after Washington won their bowl game

410
00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:06,719
Speaker 1: last week. Right, if you want Kenny Dillian, Kenny Dillian,

411
00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:09,000
Speaker 1: you can leave to go to Michigan. Right, you can leave.

412
00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:11,359
Speaker 1: They asked you to go to Michigan, right, but the

413
00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:15,040
Speaker 1: Boar's never changed. It's not been that case. And there

414
00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:18,440
Speaker 1: is all kinds of pressure for him to win tomorrow

415
00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:21,840
Speaker 1: night because if they lose tomorrow night, Kaylen de Boor's

416
00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:24,480
Speaker 1: going to Michigan. I'll go bowl with that right now,

417
00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:28,240
Speaker 1: because it's never been a throw our arms around to

418
00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:31,200
Speaker 1: Boor from the beginning. Last year was rough. This year

419
00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:34,399
Speaker 1: started out rough, then it got good. Now it's rough again.

420
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:37,600
Speaker 1: You go out in the first round and you lose

421
00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:40,800
Speaker 1: twice to the same team in a year. Are you?

422
00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:43,119
Speaker 1: Are you bringing Kaalen de Bor back? And he really

423
00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:47,959
Speaker 1: has the confidence of the team, of the of the

424
00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:51,480
Speaker 1: school of the nil guys, because remember the nil guys,

425
00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:52,960
Speaker 1: the guys who are going to make changes, right, This

426
00:19:53,119 --> 00:19:55,760
Speaker 1: is who makes coaching changes in the in college football. Now,

427
00:19:55,880 --> 00:19:58,840
Speaker 1: it's not about how you feel a coach is done

428
00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:02,520
Speaker 1: with moving a team forward achieving. It's if the nil

429
00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:05,400
Speaker 1: guys say, hey, I don't like Kaylen Debor and you're

430
00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:07,640
Speaker 1: not getting any of my money until you get them out. Well,

431
00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:10,600
Speaker 1: guess what, Calen de Bor is out. It would have

432
00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:12,520
Speaker 1: been put to bed by now, it would have been

433
00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:15,400
Speaker 1: it wouldn't be out there, Michigan would have their coach.

434
00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:17,439
Speaker 1: What are they waiting for? If it was somebody that

435
00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:19,800
Speaker 1: didn't have a job right now, or someone they could

436
00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:22,439
Speaker 1: go get, they would have right someone who's coaching in

437
00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:27,200
Speaker 1: a non playoff situation or is leaving and they can

438
00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:29,040
Speaker 1: go they can go get. They would have had that

439
00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:31,800
Speaker 1: personal ready because Michigan knows they got to act fast. Right.

440
00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:33,920
Speaker 1: You gotta be able to say, hey, you don't want

441
00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:36,800
Speaker 1: players to transfer. Right you're Bryce Underwood sitting around waiting

442
00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:38,399
Speaker 1: to see what would go on. A lot of players,

443
00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:40,159
Speaker 1: a lot of recruits are wondering what's going on. You

444
00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:43,000
Speaker 1: can't wait very long. The fact they don't have a

445
00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:45,200
Speaker 1: coach and it's been some time now, I know it's

446
00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:47,480
Speaker 1: been shocker, but you know this is a college football

447
00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:50,040
Speaker 1: moves pretty fast, right you get you know, it's not

448
00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:52,040
Speaker 1: like Ferris Bueller, where you stop around look a while

449
00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:54,720
Speaker 1: you miss it. No college football moves fast. The fact

450
00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:57,440
Speaker 1: they don't have their guy yet tells me that if

451
00:20:57,520 --> 00:21:00,520
Speaker 1: Alabama loses tomorrow night, Michigan's gonna have yeah. Mean you

452
00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:01,280
Speaker 1: go back to us.

453
00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:05,040
Speaker 3: Leading into the beginning of bowl season with Washington and

454
00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:07,240
Speaker 3: Boise State and a lot of talk here in Los

455
00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:10,040
Speaker 3: Angeles that Fish was going to win that game, they

456
00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:12,119
Speaker 3: had a big effort, and that he was going to

457
00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:15,800
Speaker 3: show up immediately as the next Michigan head man.

458
00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:17,200
Speaker 1: So he got him.

459
00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:20,200
Speaker 3: And as you said, you know, you're talking Arizona State

460
00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:24,640
Speaker 3: and they're done and non essential to what we're doing

461
00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:28,120
Speaker 3: in terms of playoffs. But the curious thing fordbors get

462
00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:30,280
Speaker 3: if he loses, does Michigan want him?

463
00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:33,600
Speaker 1: I'm just kidding. Seven and one, ten and three.

464
00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:35,720
Speaker 3: As they come into this game, you talk about the

465
00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:39,080
Speaker 3: offense being broken, and you wonder how much that plays

466
00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:41,320
Speaker 3: into the last couple of weeks because you've got a

467
00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:43,159
Speaker 3: lot of players that are trying to figure out what

468
00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:47,720
Speaker 3: their options are coach days or goes. They're trying to

469
00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:51,119
Speaker 3: figure out their future because they're watching other players all

470
00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:55,440
Speaker 3: announced there. They're re signing with schools, or others who've

471
00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:59,119
Speaker 3: entered the portal quarterbacks deciding hey, I'm staying in school.

472
00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:01,840
Speaker 3: There's a lot of other dominoes falling while you play

473
00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:06,600
Speaker 3: the waiting game and you have no real set line

474
00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:09,919
Speaker 3: for your coach. He's still at plus five point fifty

475
00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:13,400
Speaker 3: du Bor as we get ready for this one and

476
00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:16,600
Speaker 3: we're looking at both offenses have stalled.

477
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:18,919
Speaker 1: This is one where you might want to pound the

478
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:22,480
Speaker 1: under well. And the thing is this is that right

479
00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:25,560
Speaker 1: now is there's it's twenty four hours right. This is

480
00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:28,440
Speaker 1: what makes us so fascinating is that it's twenty four

481
00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:33,040
Speaker 1: hours into I stay or I go, because right now,

482
00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:35,840
Speaker 1: I think you look at Alabama and you look at

483
00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:39,080
Speaker 1: Crimson Tide Nation and I anything, it's like, Okay, okay,

484
00:22:39,119 --> 00:22:43,040
Speaker 1: well we're in the playoff. Gotta win this game. It's

485
00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:47,359
Speaker 1: first playoff game. Gotta win. If we win, Okay, we

486
00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:49,960
Speaker 1: win a game, we're moving on. Okay, but that's the

487
00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:52,399
Speaker 1: thing now. And you can say everything is sunshine, lollipops

488
00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:54,120
Speaker 1: and rainbows, and Dibor said this week, no, I haven't

489
00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:55,760
Speaker 1: talked to anybody. I have no plans to leave.

490
00:22:55,960 --> 00:22:56,040
Speaker 4: No.

491
00:22:56,280 --> 00:23:00,920
Speaker 1: And that's great. But if you lose, everything changes, well

492
00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:02,800
Speaker 1: it does. Everything changes.

493
00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:05,760
Speaker 3: But those are always my favorite kind of statements from coaches.

494
00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:09,200
Speaker 3: Doesn't mean that your representatives haven't doesn't mean that they

495
00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:13,240
Speaker 3: haven't come to you with fourteen different options and different

496
00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:16,720
Speaker 3: proposals along the way. When we're talking about contracts, I

497
00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:19,560
Speaker 3: mean you talk about Dillingham and others who are in

498
00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:22,680
Speaker 3: the waiting game like some of that. Their leverage is

499
00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:26,280
Speaker 3: all dependent on what happens tomorrow night, right, I mean,

500
00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:29,040
Speaker 3: because they win a game, and to your point, the

501
00:23:29,119 --> 00:23:32,440
Speaker 3: nil where the money flows, you know, you might get

502
00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:36,040
Speaker 3: a couple of those folks back on, but you might not. Right,

503
00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:38,520
Speaker 3: if it's not an impressive win. It still becomes the

504
00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:40,760
Speaker 3: wait and see and eventually Michigan's got to start into

505
00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:42,000
Speaker 3: the next round of stuff.

506
00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:42,520
Speaker 1: Right.

507
00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:45,720
Speaker 3: You can't sit around and wait forever on a coach.

508
00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:48,680
Speaker 3: And we're at the point is if he was leaving

509
00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:53,479
Speaker 3: and he was the guy sign sealed, delivered, you know,

510
00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:56,760
Speaker 3: you would have had another lane Kiffin's situation.

511
00:23:57,800 --> 00:24:02,280
Speaker 1: If if he wins, I will say likely he stays

512
00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:04,439
Speaker 1: because now Michigan says, okay, now we have to move on.

513
00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:07,560
Speaker 1: They won a playoff game, even if they lose the

514
00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:09,919
Speaker 1: next game. Okay. That's why I mean, it's crazy to

515
00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:13,520
Speaker 1: think that his future is gonna come down to one

516
00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:15,040
Speaker 1: game in time tomorrow.

517
00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:15,280
Speaker 4: Right.

518
00:24:15,320 --> 00:24:17,560
Speaker 1: It's like, okay, well, I took over for Saban, you know,

519
00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:19,680
Speaker 1: all right, Yeah, it wasn't great, but it wasn't awful.

520
00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:21,720
Speaker 1: This year we're in the playoff. I know it was

521
00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:24,439
Speaker 1: a little controversial, but we made the playoff, but it

522
00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:28,200
Speaker 1: doesn't matter. One game changes off. Michigan Pivots and Baby

523
00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:31,400
Speaker 1: Dillingham is their second choice. They have somebody else, but

524
00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:34,879
Speaker 1: they're sitting in limbo right now, because Okay, after tomorrow

525
00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:37,680
Speaker 1: night they will know because I guarantee you things will

526
00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:40,400
Speaker 1: change for Alabama. They love the guy now, love love

527
00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:42,840
Speaker 1: and love, love love. But then he loses again to

528
00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:46,400
Speaker 1: Oklahoma and out of the playoff and first unt, everything's

529
00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:48,960
Speaker 1: gonna change all of a sudden. The viewpoint of him

530
00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:52,080
Speaker 1: is gonna be different, how they see, how they view

531
00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:55,479
Speaker 1: him long term, everything will change with a lost tomorrow night.

532
00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:57,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, I just don't know how much there's love, love

533
00:24:57,400 --> 00:24:59,520
Speaker 3: love love. Remember there were there was a lot of

534
00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:03,960
Speaker 3: noise after the loss to Florida State about is he

535
00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:07,080
Speaker 3: the guy? And I mean we're just getting the season started,

536
00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:10,720
Speaker 3: and it was already when odds coming out of first

537
00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:13,880
Speaker 3: big coach fired and Kyalen de Moore's name was there,

538
00:25:13,960 --> 00:25:16,640
Speaker 3: people were already starting to line up, Hey, what would

539
00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:20,560
Speaker 3: be the alternatives? Who's the uh, the hot next prospect

540
00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:23,040
Speaker 3: you know at a smaller school that would make the

541
00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:26,400
Speaker 3: jump up. So it's not surprising with three losses, even

542
00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:29,359
Speaker 3: with a playoff appearance. And again to me, this is

543
00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:33,600
Speaker 3: all just insane. Right with my Northwestern squad, You with

544
00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:37,240
Speaker 3: your Syracuse squad, they're like, you made the playoffs and

545
00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:40,439
Speaker 3: you're still pissy and might throw the guy out.

546
00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:44,920
Speaker 1: All right, not good enough we want to get rid of.

547
00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:47,400
Speaker 1: But but that, but that's but that, that's the reality.

548
00:25:47,480 --> 00:25:50,560
Speaker 1: But right, and that schools like Alabama that at that

549
00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:53,040
Speaker 1: play at a level above the rim that I'm like,

550
00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:55,000
Speaker 1: if I could win, if I could go nine and

551
00:25:55,040 --> 00:25:57,400
Speaker 1: fourths here, I'm very happy with nine and four Man,

552
00:25:57,560 --> 00:25:59,959
Speaker 1: I'm pretty good. I'm pretty good squeaking into the playoff,

553
00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:03,080
Speaker 1: I'm okay with that. But at different schools it's there.

554
00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:06,120
Speaker 1: Why do you think Ohio State fans if you hook

555
00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:08,640
Speaker 1: them all up to lie detectors and said, okay now,

556
00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:10,680
Speaker 1: or give them that whatever? What do they give people?

557
00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:12,840
Speaker 1: We used to give polygraft ten no, no, no, no, no

558
00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:14,840
Speaker 1: no no. It was in the seventies and eighties. Every

559
00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:16,320
Speaker 1: movie when they wanted to get people the truth, that

560
00:26:16,359 --> 00:26:19,640
Speaker 1: you gave them a shot of something. Oh it was

561
00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:25,479
Speaker 1: so sodium pentothal right, yeah, what it was? Sodium pentethol.

562
00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:27,040
Speaker 1: Get you to tell the truth, like what I remember

563
00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:28,960
Speaker 1: what growing up like, I always thought, Man, I don't

564
00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:31,800
Speaker 1: want anybody to hit me to injecting the sodium pentathol.

565
00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:33,439
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to tell the truth on stuff, just

566
00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:38,240
Speaker 1: like I was worried about quicksand the Remuta triangles. Things

567
00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:39,200
Speaker 1: were very huge.

568
00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:44,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, I visioned myself in the sodium pentathol. You know,

569
00:26:44,359 --> 00:26:47,080
Speaker 3: but you never know, you in your principal's office, people

570
00:26:47,080 --> 00:26:50,600
Speaker 3: in your lives that you know, your six degrees of separation,

571
00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:52,639
Speaker 3: You just don't know one of the kids did one

572
00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:54,560
Speaker 3: of the kids did something, you know, I mean, who

00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:03,080
Speaker 3: playing baseball princip with Jason Smith before your principal's.

00:27:06,119 --> 00:27:06,679
Speaker 1: give you a little bit.

Speaker 2: Here you go.

578
00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:08,560
Speaker 1: That's so that's just alcohol patch. Don't worry. But I

00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:10,280
Speaker 1: haven't done anyth yet. All right, Great, now you're gonna

00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:34,359
Speaker 3: now here, we are ready for this play.

589
00:27:35,119 --> 00:27:38,000
Speaker 1: I can go back in time last year. I can

590
00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:40,760
Speaker 1: give you the win over Michigan. Yeah, but I'll take

591
00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:45,880
Speaker 1: away the national championship. Sixty percent think that Ohio State

592
00:27:45,960 --> 00:27:49,960
Speaker 1: fans would say, yes, yes, give me the win over Michigan.

593
00:27:50,040 --> 00:27:52,119
Speaker 1: I don't care that we lost the playoff. Yeah, no,

594
00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:55,640
Speaker 1: we guarantee guarantee. Do they guarante have that many people

595

Speaker 1: in their lives that make it miserable? Yes, it's it's

596
00:27:58,760 --> 00:28:01,600
Speaker 1: they lived that game for hundred and sixty five days. Man,

Speaker 1: they don't live playing in the in the National championship

598
00:28:04,680 --> 00:28:05,400
Speaker 1: or in the playoff.

599
00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:08,399
Speaker 3: You gotta get out of your head, get off social media.

600
00:28:08,520 --> 00:28:13,840

616
00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:03,400

Speaker 1: or they win the title but it.

708
00:33:00,600 --> 00:33:03,560
Speaker 5: Just maybe not an important game in the Western Conference finals.

709
00:33:03,600 --> 00:33:04,280
Speaker 1: Well what do you pick?

710
00:33:04,440 --> 00:33:08,320

721

722
00:33:35,240 --> 00:33:36,680

00:33:49,280 --> 00:33:52,200
Speaker 1: They got a banner that says signed Kawhi Leonard, and

729
00:33:52,200 --> 00:33:57,040

730
00:33:57,080 --> 00:33:57,280
Speaker 1: come on.

731
00:33:57,600 --> 00:33:58,280

733
00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:07,600
Speaker 1: time about his future since he was injured, and oh boy,

00:34:08,440 --> 00:34:10,680

735
00:34:10,680 --> 00:34:13,719
Speaker 1: sit right now. That's next. Jason and Mike Fox Sports Radio,

736
00:34:16,160 --> 00:34:17,160
Speaker 1: I want to be a liquor.

737
00:34:17,760 --> 00:34:20,400
Speaker 2: Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith

738
00:34:20,400 --> 00:34:23,520
Speaker 2: Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven

739
00:34:23,560 --> 00:34:24,440
Speaker 2: pm Pacific.

740
00:34:26,400 --> 00:34:29,760
Speaker 1: I want a punt return for a touchdown for Christmas.

741
00:34:31,040 --> 00:34:33,719
Speaker 1: Only a punt return for a touchdown. I'll make a close.

742
00:34:35,040 --> 00:34:39,640
Speaker 1: Don't want another fumble a Sam Darnald Dick. I need

743
00:34:39,760 --> 00:34:43,040
Speaker 1: Rashid Shahed to take it all the way to the house.

744
00:34:44,600 --> 00:34:48,600
Speaker 1: That is what has happened. A two touchdown lead is

745
00:34:48,640 --> 00:34:52,200
Speaker 1: now a one touchdown lead for the Rams. Rashid Shahed

746
00:34:53,440 --> 00:34:56,360
Speaker 1: just return the punt fifty eight yards for a touchdown.

747
00:34:57,040 --> 00:35:00,319
Speaker 1: They get the two point conversion and now it is

748
00:35:00,360 --> 00:35:04,360
Speaker 1: a thirty twenty two lead for the Rams. Still tons

749
00:35:04,440 --> 00:35:07,319
Speaker 1: of time left in this eight minutes ago. They kick

750
00:35:07,400 --> 00:35:11,320
Speaker 1: right to Shahed and he's the best returner in the NFL.

751
00:35:11,440 --> 00:35:13,600
Speaker 1: He's the one guy that's gonna break things open for

752
00:35:13,680 --> 00:35:16,440
Speaker 1: you and certainly does it here. It didn't even look

753
00:35:16,480 --> 00:35:18,440
Speaker 1: like it was difficult. You know, this is one of

754
00:35:18,440 --> 00:35:21,239
Speaker 1: those short field punt returns where I'm gonna just try

755
00:35:21,280 --> 00:35:23,720
Speaker 1: to evade as often as I can and get people

756
00:35:23,760 --> 00:35:26,239
Speaker 1: over pursuing, and you have to do that. He was

757
00:35:26,280 --> 00:35:29,560
Speaker 1: able to hit full stride pretty early in this and

758
00:35:29,600 --> 00:35:31,040
Speaker 1: take it all the way for a touchdown.

759
00:35:31,280 --> 00:35:33,920
Speaker 3: Why you made the deal to go get him. Hopefully

760
00:35:34,360 --> 00:35:37,440
Speaker 3: spur some things and keep safeties honest in the secondary

761
00:35:37,480 --> 00:35:40,640
Speaker 3: on offense, but certainly in the return game. It's been

762
00:35:40,719 --> 00:35:44,040
Speaker 3: him in DK one of the great return men of

763
00:35:44,080 --> 00:35:48,320
Speaker 3: all purpose yards going over in Tennessee. But a huge

764
00:35:48,360 --> 00:35:52,239
Speaker 3: play here the defense finally stood up for Seattle to

765
00:35:52,400 --> 00:35:55,400
Speaker 3: Blake Korum runs at an incomplete pass, they get the

766
00:35:55,440 --> 00:35:58,279
Speaker 3: opportunity for the ball back and instead of putting it

767
00:35:58,320 --> 00:36:01,560
Speaker 3: back in Sam's hands, you get it return score and

768
00:36:01,600 --> 00:36:04,680
Speaker 3: then the two point conversion is good. Cooper Cup hangs

769
00:36:04,680 --> 00:36:06,640
Speaker 3: onto the ball this time, and we got ourselves an

770
00:36:06,640 --> 00:36:07,319
Speaker 3: eight point game.

771
00:36:07,400 --> 00:36:10,200
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean, you really want the ball in

772
00:36:10,239 --> 00:36:13,799
Speaker 1: the hands of Sam Darnold as much as possible. You know,

773
00:36:13,880 --> 00:36:16,040
Speaker 1: you want at this point, you want the ball in

774
00:36:16,120 --> 00:36:18,160
Speaker 1: his hands. You don't want it in anybody else's hands.

775
00:36:18,320 --> 00:36:20,799
Speaker 1: You're He's one of the I mean, Shahid probably has

776
00:36:20,800 --> 00:36:22,560
Speaker 1: had one of the two or three best years of

777
00:36:22,640 --> 00:36:26,880
Speaker 1: anybody returning kicks in the NFL. And it's a short field.

778
00:36:26,920 --> 00:36:28,360
Speaker 1: He just takes it all the way and he was

779
00:36:28,400 --> 00:36:31,000
Speaker 1: kicked right to him like there was no there was

780
00:36:31,080 --> 00:36:33,200
Speaker 1: no I got a drift to the side, I got it. No,

781
00:36:33,320 --> 00:36:36,160
Speaker 1: it was right there, catch and go. Coming into the game.

782
00:36:36,200 --> 00:36:38,800
Speaker 3: When you took at all purpose yards in the National

783
00:36:38,800 --> 00:36:41,160
Speaker 3: Football League this courtesy of Fox sports dot Com.

784
00:36:41,200 --> 00:36:43,400
Speaker 1: Shahid was thirteenth.

785
00:36:43,440 --> 00:36:46,680
Speaker 3: He'll pass Rico Dwell at least short term number one,

786
00:36:46,840 --> 00:36:49,560
Speaker 3: the aforementioned DK who's at twenty one hundred yards.

787
00:36:49,640 --> 00:36:53,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, but teams that matter though, he's probably number one.

788
00:36:54,640 --> 00:36:57,160
Speaker 1: So here we are thirty to twenty two. We'll keep

789
00:36:57,200 --> 00:37:00,280
Speaker 1: your presence all matter. Eight minutes to go in the game,

790
00:37:00,680 --> 00:37:03,080
Speaker 1: Rams with the football again eight point lead now after

791
00:37:03,120 --> 00:37:04,960
Speaker 1: he either did the Jets, but.

792
00:37:05,080 --> 00:37:06,759
Speaker 3: Trying to give a guy a little bit of love

793
00:37:07,080 --> 00:37:08,840
Speaker 3: who's operating.

794
00:37:08,320 --> 00:37:11,800
Speaker 1: Undercover of darkness and you just want to hate on him.

795
00:37:12,320 --> 00:37:15,360
Speaker 1: Hell man, you know, now, once in a while on

796
00:37:15,400 --> 00:37:17,440
Speaker 1: the show, not very often, but once in a great,

797
00:37:17,520 --> 00:37:19,759
Speaker 1: great while, you know, like as often as you see

798
00:37:19,760 --> 00:37:22,839
Speaker 1: a YETI you like to hear me say go New York,

799
00:37:22,880 --> 00:37:25,319
Speaker 1: Go New York, Go. I do that. It is very

800
00:37:25,640 --> 00:37:27,200
Speaker 1: very rare, very rare.

801
00:37:27,640 --> 00:37:31,240
Speaker 3: I think it's one like your Jets Super Bowl prediction.

802
00:37:31,280 --> 00:37:33,640
Speaker 3: It happened once and then lives forever.

803
00:37:33,840 --> 00:37:36,000
Speaker 1: But now I feel like as Berman would do this

804
00:37:36,080 --> 00:37:40,080
Speaker 1: story and TJ maybe for Yannis. It's no New York,

805
00:37:40,400 --> 00:37:46,880
Speaker 1: No New York, no uh. Yann has talked today publicly

806
00:37:47,080 --> 00:37:50,080
Speaker 1: for the first time about his future since suffering his

807
00:37:50,239 --> 00:37:54,920
Speaker 1: injury in the beginning of December, and there was talk before. Obviously,

808
00:37:55,000 --> 00:37:57,200
Speaker 1: we had heard stories that his agent was spending time

809
00:37:57,280 --> 00:37:59,400
Speaker 1: talking with the Bucks about his future and whether or

810
00:37:59,480 --> 00:38:03,360
Speaker 1: not jan It's on Kokumpo's future was best with Milwaukee

811
00:38:03,520 --> 00:38:06,480
Speaker 1: or someplace else. So Jannis is asked about it today

812
00:38:06,560 --> 00:38:09,480
Speaker 1: and he says this quote. If my agent is talking

813
00:38:09,520 --> 00:38:11,920
Speaker 1: to the Bucks about it, he's his own person. He

814
00:38:11,960 --> 00:38:16,600
Speaker 1: can have any conversation he wants. I'm locked in, locked

815
00:38:16,640 --> 00:38:18,480
Speaker 1: in on my teammates, locked and ready to get back.

816
00:38:19,760 --> 00:38:22,280
Speaker 1: So so, because what I forget is that the agent

817
00:38:22,360 --> 00:38:25,760
Speaker 1: doesn't work for you. The agent just has conversations about you,

818
00:38:25,840 --> 00:38:28,759
Speaker 1: no matter what. There is not one agent that is

819
00:38:28,840 --> 00:38:32,920
Speaker 1: just randomly or on his own talking to teams about

820
00:38:33,000 --> 00:38:36,080
Speaker 1: you and about your future and about where you want

821
00:38:36,120 --> 00:38:37,600
Speaker 1: to go and where where are you going to stay

822
00:38:37,719 --> 00:38:43,480
Speaker 1: or go without your express approval. No, I don't disagree.

823
00:38:43,520 --> 00:38:46,160
Speaker 1: He is not Janni's agent is not calling the Bucks

824
00:38:46,239 --> 00:38:48,600
Speaker 1: freelancing about Hey, what do you think about it?

825
00:38:48,680 --> 00:38:52,280
Speaker 3: I'm not saying he's not an outgoing calls not happening.

826
00:38:52,360 --> 00:38:54,359
Speaker 1: I mean he's gonna take anything. He's going.

827
00:38:54,360 --> 00:38:57,839
Speaker 3: Hey, how's Gianni's feeling, how's his recovery? He's feeling good. Yeah, No,

828
00:38:57,920 --> 00:38:59,799
Speaker 3: Nucky's going to be back on the door. Hey, No,

829
00:39:00,080 --> 00:39:03,239
Speaker 3: by the way, you talk about swirling a lot of

830
00:39:03,280 --> 00:39:05,760
Speaker 3: stuff swirling about. You know, the team's not very good,

831
00:39:06,040 --> 00:39:09,520
Speaker 3: and he seems he seemed frustrated before the injury. There's

832
00:39:09,560 --> 00:39:11,920
Speaker 3: easy ways to Hey, by the way, how the kids

833
00:39:12,080 --> 00:39:12,480
Speaker 3: you can have?

834
00:39:12,520 --> 00:39:15,800
Speaker 1: Any kids? I heard the first semester was going, well,

835
00:39:15,920 --> 00:39:18,040
Speaker 1: you know in seart school, believe what you're saying. Do

836
00:39:18,040 --> 00:39:21,719
Speaker 1: you really believe what you come on? Man, you live

837
00:39:21,760 --> 00:39:24,360
Speaker 1: in fantasy land that eventually.

838
00:39:23,920 --> 00:39:25,600
Speaker 3: Your agent comes back and says, hey, you know what,

839
00:39:25,640 --> 00:39:26,480
Speaker 3: I had a conversation.

840
00:39:26,600 --> 00:39:27,680
Speaker 1: I got a call. Uh.

841
00:39:27,880 --> 00:39:30,720
Speaker 3: They was from an area code I understood and knew,

842
00:39:30,800 --> 00:39:32,400
Speaker 3: so I figured I should pick it up. And it

843
00:39:32,440 --> 00:39:33,960
Speaker 3: wasn't someone just trying to fleece me.

844
00:39:34,200 --> 00:39:36,960
Speaker 1: Things are getting a little difficult, and you're seeing a

845
00:39:36,960 --> 00:39:39,400
Speaker 1: little bit of weirdness now with Giannie's take on this,

846
00:39:39,520 --> 00:39:45,120
Speaker 1: because after Tuesday night doesn't look like the Knicks, which

847
00:39:45,160 --> 00:39:48,880
Speaker 1: could be if, according to reports, Gianna's preferred destination doesn't

848
00:39:48,880 --> 00:39:51,080
Speaker 1: look like that's gonna happen. At the end of February,

849
00:39:51,280 --> 00:39:53,719
Speaker 1: the Knicks feel, hey, they have everything going on, They

850
00:39:53,719 --> 00:39:56,360
Speaker 1: believe in Mike Brown, they have a bench that's playing well.

851
00:39:56,600 --> 00:39:59,560
Speaker 1: The Knicks don't knockwood. The Knicks have a direction. They

852
00:40:00,120 --> 00:40:02,400
Speaker 1: that's why they needed to win the E Cup title

853
00:40:02,400 --> 00:40:04,480
Speaker 1: because they needed a little bit of proof that, hey,

854
00:40:04,480 --> 00:40:07,280
Speaker 1: what we're doing is working. What they're doing is working.

855
00:40:07,320 --> 00:40:09,240
Speaker 1: They're not upsetting the apple cart. So now if Joannist

856
00:40:09,239 --> 00:40:11,399
Speaker 1: wants to go someplace else, he's got to figure out

857
00:40:11,400 --> 00:40:13,799
Speaker 1: with this man. No, we've talked about that a lot.

858
00:40:14,000 --> 00:40:17,319
Speaker 3: Is you know, trying to figure out exactly what other

859
00:40:17,360 --> 00:40:21,080
Speaker 3: potential destinations that there were rumors there in Chicago for

860
00:40:21,160 --> 00:40:23,799
Speaker 3: a bit as well. There'll be other suitors that come

861
00:40:24,520 --> 00:40:26,080
Speaker 3: stacked with with chips.

862
00:40:26,320 --> 00:40:29,200
Speaker 1: No New York, No New York. No, you're not done yet.

863
00:40:29,320 --> 00:40:31,440
Speaker 1: That lumin Field next Fox
