00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:01,280
Speaker 1: Welcome back to Richard Sherman and Podcast. I'm here with

17
00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:04,160
Speaker 1: my god, some of you guys, his favorite guy, Mitch

18
00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:08,000
Speaker 1: eisens time. Mitchell, what's going on? Richard? How are you sir?

19
00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:11,400
Speaker 1: How are you? Another Monday night game? In the wraps,

20
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:13,800
Speaker 1: we didn't really see it going that way. But it's

21
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:17,440
Speaker 1: the way life's been going recently, where one team comes

22
00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:19,840
Speaker 1: in as an underdog and smacks living heck out of

23
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:23,320
Speaker 1: another team, and then that's it, right and life goes on.

24
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:26,200
Speaker 1: The thing that's predictable about the NFL right now is

25
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:29,040
Speaker 1: the unpredictable nature of the NFL right now. If you

26
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:31,880
Speaker 1: think your team has a gimme, they're likely gonna lose

27
00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:35,920
Speaker 1: whatever I got you. What else you got for me? Richard?

28
00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:37,960
Speaker 1: It's trade deadline time and we got a couple of

29
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:41,039
Speaker 1: trades that came hot off the press is for us today.

30
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:43,600
Speaker 1: I'm gonna start with one, a little bit of a

31
00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:46,840
Speaker 1: game changer here. The Baltimore Ravens go out and grab

32
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:51,960
Speaker 1: ro Quan Smith. Your thoughts on that move. Baltimore Ravens

33
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:56,760
Speaker 1: get a great defender. That pretty much sounds like the

34
00:01:56,800 --> 00:02:00,520
Speaker 1: way the NFL is, I mean Baltimore defense. I mean

35
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:03,840
Speaker 1: it's weird that Chicago give up a great defender and

36
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:07,600
Speaker 1: not pay them. Hmm. Sounds like a problematic move, a

37
00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:11,600
Speaker 1: dumb move, idiotic. You don't lost your dangn minds well.

38
00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:15,200
Speaker 1: And the other one is my hometown Lions traded t

39
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:19,200
Speaker 1: J Hockenson going to the Division rival, the Minnesota Vikings.

40
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:25,560
Speaker 1: Kurk Ko gets another weapon in Minnesota. I mean, nice

41
00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:27,960
Speaker 1: pick up for Minnesota. I mean, I'll let you chime

42
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 1: in if you want, but I think this speaks more

43
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:33,320
Speaker 1: to how poorly managed Detroit has been over the years.

44
00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:35,720
Speaker 1: Hockinson a top ten pick a few years back, and

45
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 1: now he's traded for a second and third round pick.

46
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:42,000
Speaker 1: Um your thoughts on on what this move means to

47
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:44,560
Speaker 1: the Minnesota Vikings. I mean, it's not as bad as

48
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:46,920
Speaker 1: Arizona picking a kid top ten and then trade him

49
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:50,440
Speaker 1: the next year for a pack of chips and some skittles.

50
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:53,000
Speaker 1: But whatever, Mitchell, Um, I think it's a fine move.

51
00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:55,240
Speaker 1: I don't think it moves the needle for either team. Um.

52
00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:59,080
Speaker 1: I don't think Hockinson was carrying the torch around Detroit.

53
00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:02,280
Speaker 1: I think Detroit is isn't on a fire sale. Mold Um.

54
00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:05,160
Speaker 1: I didn't like that they fired Pleasant. I mean, I

55
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:07,480
Speaker 1: don't You don't hear very often of a team firing

56
00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:10,639
Speaker 1: a DBS coach like like, I don't know what he

57
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:13,079
Speaker 1: did or say it, but I'm sure he isn't the

58
00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:15,799
Speaker 1: only problem. You know, he's not calling the place. But

59
00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:18,120
Speaker 1: for some reason, he's the reason. He's the guy falling

60
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:20,120
Speaker 1: on the sword, which is odd, but I think it's

61
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:22,959
Speaker 1: a fine trade. You know, I don't think outside of

62
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:26,120
Speaker 1: the McCaffrey trade is that's still the biggest one right now.

63
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:28,359
Speaker 1: You know, it's the one that's gonna have the most

64
00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:31,600
Speaker 1: long term and in the most immediate effects effects on

65
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:34,520
Speaker 1: this season. Uh And it showed last week. He had

66
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:38,080
Speaker 1: three touchdowns in three different ways through what called it

67
00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:40,400
Speaker 1: ran it out every way you could do. They were

68
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:42,200
Speaker 1: gonna put him at defense. We can get on defense.

69
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:44,160
Speaker 1: We can get a pick six at punk returners, so

70
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:46,080
Speaker 1: we can do that too, but you know, you gotta

71
00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:50,440
Speaker 1: keep him safe. We're I guess officially or close enough

72
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:53,280
Speaker 1: to the halfway point of this season. You know, we've

73
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:56,760
Speaker 1: kindly finally can really start assessing these teams, and it

74
00:03:56,880 --> 00:03:59,480
Speaker 1: there's some teams that appear to be on the brink

75
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:02,480
Speaker 1: of truble. You know, I don't want to call it

76
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:05,520
Speaker 1: a new segment. We're gonna dive into a new segment.

77
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:10,240
Speaker 1: I'm gonna call it the Shermanader. Rich You're now the Shermanator.

78
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:13,160
Speaker 1: You got an handful of teams in this league that

79
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:15,520
Speaker 1: either got life to him and got a fighting chance?

80
00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:21,040
Speaker 1: Or is it asta Levista baby for these teams? Okay, Okay,

81
00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:26,840
Speaker 1: get way to dude. This wasn't my idea. Okay, but

82
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:29,160
Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'll take the credit for it if I

83
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:33,160
Speaker 1: if I need to, But Rich, I'm gonna start with

84
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:37,960
Speaker 1: last night's loser, the Cincinnati Bengals. Is their life to

85
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:42,719
Speaker 1: this team? Or is it asta Leavista baby? Mitchell, there's life.

86
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:45,720
Speaker 1: He owned a sideline for a photo six weeks, but

87
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:49,200
Speaker 1: that is their only lifeline, Mitchell, that is that is

88
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:52,000
Speaker 1: their lifeline, Mitchell. If he is not back soon and

89
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:55,280
Speaker 1: it the ship isn't afloat when he gets back, then

90
00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:58,720
Speaker 1: it's likely. I star love East, but we will see.

91
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:00,760
Speaker 1: I mean, if they look like they do it yesterday,

92
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:03,360
Speaker 1: just go ahead and folded up. They volded up. Save

93
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:05,800
Speaker 1: your money, fans don't go to the games. But I

94
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:08,520
Speaker 1: will say they still have a chance for now. And

95
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:11,000
Speaker 1: Jamaar Chase is one of those guys. I think he's

96
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:14,120
Speaker 1: gonna change the game in the sense of how we

97
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:17,600
Speaker 1: value the wide receiver position, right, I mean, draft the

98
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:20,760
Speaker 1: top five overall helps have this resurgence of the Bengals

99
00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:23,080
Speaker 1: gets them to the Super Bowl. And then all of

100
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:25,480
Speaker 1: a sudden in the off season, guys like Christian Kirk

101
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:28,000
Speaker 1: are getting paid nineteen million bucks a year and you're wondering,

102
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:30,960
Speaker 1: how the heck are these wide receivers making this amount

103
00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:33,880
Speaker 1: of money. And it's kind of like that Jamaar Chase effect,

104
00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:36,520
Speaker 1: and Rich, I think your spot, I man, I mean

105
00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:42,599
Speaker 1: without Jamaar Chase, this offense is is stagg Nint stinks.

106
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:47,760
Speaker 1: Stinks to the NFC West. We've talked about him once

107
00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:50,840
Speaker 1: or twice on this show. You got friends on the team, Rich,

108
00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:55,480
Speaker 1: the Denver Broncos three and five, coming off a win.

109
00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:58,760
Speaker 1: They didn't leave Nathaniel hack it overseas. They brought him

110
00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:01,600
Speaker 1: back home with it. Run Hi back, Okay, I mean

111
00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:03,760
Speaker 1: is it did they have a life or is it

112
00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:09,240
Speaker 1: a sta Levista Um? I think it's trending towards Asta

113
00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:12,599
Speaker 1: Levista mitchell um, and not by no means of the defense,

114
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:14,880
Speaker 1: Like you said, their second in total defense first and

115
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:17,320
Speaker 1: past defense second in scoring. When you got a defense

116
00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:20,039
Speaker 1: like that, you're not expecting to be three and five,

117
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:22,680
Speaker 1: and in a play away from two and six, you're not.

118
00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:25,159
Speaker 1: You're not You're expecting to be like, hey, we're leading

119
00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:28,520
Speaker 1: the league and these categories like we're a guaranteed playoff team,

120
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:32,000
Speaker 1: but thank goodness, everybody else in the division that is

121
00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:34,560
Speaker 1: in Kansas City is struggling. They're still in it. They

122
00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:37,120
Speaker 1: still have a chance, you know, but being thirty one

123
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:40,920
Speaker 1: and third down percentage thirty first and points per game offensively,

124
00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:42,920
Speaker 1: that has to change. It has to be rectified, and

125
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:44,680
Speaker 1: it has to be upside down, like they have to

126
00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:46,960
Speaker 1: have a second half of the season where they're leading

127
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:49,680
Speaker 1: the league, top five and a number of categories offensively

128
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:52,320
Speaker 1: to give them a chance, or else it's probably asked

129
00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:56,640
Speaker 1: to love East. Let's go to the NFC North Aaron

130
00:06:56,800 --> 00:07:01,560
Speaker 1: Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers. This team doesn't look

131
00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:04,160
Speaker 1: like themselves. Rich, I think I know the answer to

132
00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:06,320
Speaker 1: this question, but I'm gonna toss it your way to

133
00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:11,560
Speaker 1: get your input. Menstro mentro Mentell menstre or Hey Rod,

134
00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:17,960
Speaker 1: poor poor Hey Rock. But defensively again second in past defense,

135
00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:23,480
Speaker 1: second and third down defense, Hey Rod still there, last

136
00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:27,920
Speaker 1: year's MVP, but there twenty six and scoring twenty nine

137
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:34,440
Speaker 1: and rust defense. Aaron Rodgers don't trust nobody, Like who

138
00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:37,960
Speaker 1: does he trust nobody? Who are you gonna pass it to?

139
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:44,000
Speaker 1: In the clutch. Nobody like like like what I'm telling

140
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:47,760
Speaker 1: you right now is it's tough on a ride right now.

141
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:50,960
Speaker 1: So it's probably asta la vista unless you can get

142
00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:55,840
Speaker 1: a marriage and the noment of the trade from the

143
00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:58,960
Speaker 1: Raiders to the Green Bay Packers. Unless you can do that,

144
00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:02,280
Speaker 1: they say this is asta Levista because you got Kirk

145
00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:05,840
Speaker 1: Oh playing well, and then you got the NFC East

146
00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:09,440
Speaker 1: not being the NFC least, it's looking like the NFC Beast,

147
00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:13,200
Speaker 1: and then you got the NFC West with teams that

148
00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:15,480
Speaker 1: will likely take that seven seed away from you. The

149
00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:17,840
Speaker 1: only chance you got is that seventh seed, and that's

150
00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:20,640
Speaker 1: not gonna be easy to grab with the teams playing

151
00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:22,440
Speaker 1: well in front of them. I don't see a savior

152
00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:25,040
Speaker 1: in sight. I'm not thinking Christian Watson is gonna be

153
00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:28,120
Speaker 1: the savior. I'm not thinking Ellen's Art's gonna be the savior.

154
00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:30,920
Speaker 1: They Aaron Rodgers doesn't think they're gonna be a savior.

155
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:34,280
Speaker 1: So unless you O b J walks through that door

156
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:40,439
Speaker 1: and they can convince him, asta levista. You gotta think

157
00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:43,480
Speaker 1: this team has some plan, right, I mean, you just

158
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:47,760
Speaker 1: have a division foe and the Vikings pick up Hockinson.

159
00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:51,880
Speaker 1: It's doable. You can trade your future draft picks for

160
00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:55,360
Speaker 1: current assets. They just don't seem to want to. I

161
00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:57,880
Speaker 1: mean there's reports that the Rams offered up to first

162
00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:00,680
Speaker 1: for Brian Burns. I mean there's teams just earning picks.

163
00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:04,880
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers getting no younger. Uh. This team has a

164
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:07,720
Speaker 1: good defense. You know, they could make some noise if

165
00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:10,800
Speaker 1: you get Aaron a weapon or two. But I guess

166
00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:13,640
Speaker 1: they don't think they need that. And I'm with you,

167
00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:17,040
Speaker 1: rich I still Levista to the Packers. I hate to

168
00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:19,240
Speaker 1: do it to you, Richard, but we gotta go there.

169
00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:23,839
Speaker 1: The NFC South, Tom Brady, I know you love Tom,

170
00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:27,319
Speaker 1: and they have a fighting chance anytime Tom straps on

171
00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:31,240
Speaker 1: the pads, But be realistic for me here, rich Tampa

172
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:39,600
Speaker 1: Bay natural. Yes, they can do it Mitchell. I mean

173
00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:42,840
Speaker 1: they're in the South. That's the only reason they can

174
00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:44,839
Speaker 1: do in Mitchell. That's the only reason. It's not a

175
00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:47,520
Speaker 1: hunt of us that I stall Levista because there. But

176
00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:49,959
Speaker 1: defensively they're playing well. They're getting a lot of sacks

177
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:53,280
Speaker 1: still their fifth and passing six and scoring defense. Tom

178
00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:55,800
Speaker 1: Brady ain't missed the playoffs in twenty years, so you

179
00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:58,199
Speaker 1: gotta expect it's not gonna This is not gonna be

180
00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:00,720
Speaker 1: the first, but it's gonna be tough. But they're last

181
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:02,760
Speaker 1: in Russian. They have to find a way to rush

182
00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:05,120
Speaker 1: the ball, run the ball, and you hope that Ryan

183
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:08,400
Speaker 1: Jensen comes back and that can freaking change things on

184
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:11,640
Speaker 1: that offensive line. Whenever they're saying December maybe, which would

185
00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:14,520
Speaker 1: be really cool or cool comeback story. I don't know.

186
00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:16,480
Speaker 1: If they were in any of the other divisions in

187
00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:18,400
Speaker 1: the in the NFC, then it'd be a no. But

188
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:21,040
Speaker 1: they have a chance because right now it's being led

189
00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:26,560
Speaker 1: by Atlanta Falcons and could have been the Carolina Panthers

190
00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:28,880
Speaker 1: had somebody not taking their hit helmet off or a

191
00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:33,160
Speaker 1: kicker did his job. Um. So, so yeah, I think

192
00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:35,280
Speaker 1: they you know, I think they got a chance. It's

193
00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:38,280
Speaker 1: miraculous at the one time in his career, Tom Brady

194
00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:41,160
Speaker 1: has a terrible you know team season, if you will,

195
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:43,920
Speaker 1: He's still got a chance because he's in a ship division.

196
00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:51,680
Speaker 1: So that is Tom's luck. Yes, sir, Yes, sir. Start

Speaker 1: dot com. All right, and we we kind of covered

219
00:11:57,360 --> 00:12:00,200
Speaker 1: it on the last podcast, I asked you where where?

220
00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:02,480
Speaker 1: What's the future of the Rams look like the season

221
00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:05,559
Speaker 1: you said they're gonna be at home? But does that

222
00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:07,679
Speaker 1: hold true now? Is it? Is it they have some

223
00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:10,880
Speaker 1: life to him or is it? I don't. I mean

224
00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:13,200
Speaker 1: they're trying to get some life by by by trading

225
00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:15,960
Speaker 1: to first for Brian Burns. But I'm like, what first

226
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:18,760
Speaker 1: do they have, Like they're gonna be sitting there, My

227
00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:21,000
Speaker 1: son's gonna be in the league. But if it next

228
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:24,720
Speaker 1: time they draft first, like, my goodness, but their fifth

229
00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:26,599
Speaker 1: in total defense. They've got a lot of talent on

230
00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:29,680
Speaker 1: that side of the football. Um fourth and third down offense,

231
00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:33,959
Speaker 1: but thirty first in Russian, thirty in total offense, fewest

232
00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:38,439
Speaker 1: points per game in NFC. Like it's bad, Mitchell, it's

233
00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:42,359
Speaker 1: bad offensively and not to jump on the Stafford Titanic,

234
00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:46,439
Speaker 1: but my goodness, like I tried to tell you, like

235
00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:49,600
Speaker 1: it's just not built that way. And the reason he's

236
00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:53,000
Speaker 1: struggling is because that offensive line it's really bad. It's

237
00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:56,360
Speaker 1: it's it's like what they call a dumpster fire of sorts, Mitchell,

238
00:12:56,880 --> 00:13:01,000
Speaker 1: dumpster fire, and it's getting worse, Like the good guy,

239
00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:03,240
Speaker 1: like they're giving up on guy. So you would think, hey,

240
00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:06,040
Speaker 1: they're going to trade for an offensive alignement, like they're

241
00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:08,120
Speaker 1: going to trade a first round or two to get

242
00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:11,199
Speaker 1: them some offensive alignment. But you're working on defense and

243
00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:14,319
Speaker 1: you can't score points. So that doesn't make a whole

244
00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:18,200
Speaker 1: lot of sense to me either. I mean, I don't

245
00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:21,640
Speaker 1: quite understand it, Rich. I mean, they have glaring, glaring holes,

246
00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:25,240
Speaker 1: and they don't seem to be wanting to address them.

247
00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:28,640
Speaker 1: They want to make their position of strength stronger, and um,

248
00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:31,640
Speaker 1: at some point in time, these these draft picks, I

249
00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:33,840
Speaker 1: get it. You guys want a super Bowl, and hats

250
00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:36,080
Speaker 1: off to the l A Rams for that. I mean

251
00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:39,319
Speaker 1: certainly teams would give up, you know, three years of

252
00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:41,040
Speaker 1: picks just to have a shot at being in the

253
00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:44,040
Speaker 1: super Bowl. But at some point time this is gonna

254
00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:46,360
Speaker 1: catch up to him, and it probably has already caught

255
00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:47,959
Speaker 1: up to him with this lack of depth on the

256
00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:51,319
Speaker 1: offensive line. Yeah, that's what it looks like, Andrew Woodworth

257
00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:53,440
Speaker 1: and not being there is glaring. I'm sure they call

258
00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:55,720
Speaker 1: him every week and offer him a little bit more money,

259
00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:58,400
Speaker 1: and uh, his wife tells him no every week. But

260
00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:06,559
Speaker 1: what Amazon's got deep pockets to rac Yeah, yes, so,

261
00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:09,559
Speaker 1: rich It's that time of the week. Everyone's got to

262
00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:13,160
Speaker 1: know what is Richard Sherman's power rankings top five for

263
00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:16,679
Speaker 1: culmination a week eight. You put so much stress on

264
00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:19,880
Speaker 1: me in Mitchell, you put so much stress. This one's

265
00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:23,120
Speaker 1: gonna be tough. It's not about top three has yet

266
00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:29,560
Speaker 1: to change, Mitchell. It's still the Eagles, Buffalo, Kansas City, Minnesota,

267
00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:34,480
Speaker 1: kirk O Kirko and the Dallas Cowboys. It polished their

268
00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:38,240
Speaker 1: starting back. It is not then. I gotta Richard. You

269
00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:41,360
Speaker 1: sent me a text yesterday. It was a quote from

270
00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:44,360
Speaker 1: the owner, Jerry Jones, and we talked about it, and

271
00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:47,080
Speaker 1: I don't want to hammer this point home more because

272
00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:49,040
Speaker 1: we talked about the last podcast and it was in

273
00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:52,440
Speaker 1: regards to Tony Pollard, and the text said something along

274
00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:55,640
Speaker 1: the lines of Zeke Elliott will always be the lead back.

275
00:14:56,040 --> 00:14:58,720
Speaker 1: He's a home run hitter, just like Tony Pollard, and

276
00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:01,960
Speaker 1: he's always gonna be in position one A and there's

277
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:05,200
Speaker 1: no second guessing it from the Cowboys organization. I don't

278
00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:08,360
Speaker 1: get it, rich I get I understand Dallas is a

279
00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:10,880
Speaker 1: hot team right now, and you don't want to ruffle

280
00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:15,000
Speaker 1: the feathers of any teammates on your team, But come on, man, like,

281
00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:17,600
Speaker 1: give it to my boy Tony for the love of God.

282
00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:20,440
Speaker 1: Mitchell Mitchell Mitchell, and I love Zeke. I'm a good

283
00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:22,480
Speaker 1: friends with zig. Zeke's a good human being. He's a

284
00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:25,520
Speaker 1: good football player. But if I'm on that team and

285
00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:28,200
Speaker 1: I'm watching a guy average ten yards to carry and

286
00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:31,280
Speaker 1: the only game he starts and it's doing being dynamic

287
00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:33,880
Speaker 1: and every facet of the game, the run game, the

288
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:38,480
Speaker 1: past game, and it's just the walking explosive play, I'm

289
00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:41,960
Speaker 1: gonna probably have a have some questions about we're making

290
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:44,600
Speaker 1: that We're making that call based on like zek is

291
00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:47,160
Speaker 1: a good player and he deserved the ball observed to

292
00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:50,440
Speaker 1: tote it, But this guy probably deserves just you know

293
00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:52,480
Speaker 1: what I mean, just the dad a few more. He

294
00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:55,360
Speaker 1: deserves it in every aspect of the game. And he

295
00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:57,880
Speaker 1: showed that. And when he's not on the field, they're

296
00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:01,000
Speaker 1: less of a thread offensively. When it's not on the field,

297
00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:03,560
Speaker 1: teams are Teams are happy to to to go head

298
00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:05,920
Speaker 1: to head with with Zeke and play the physical game

299
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:07,960
Speaker 1: as much as you want to, but he creates an

300
00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:10,240
Speaker 1: element that they do not have without him on the field.

301
00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:13,800
Speaker 1: No question, you got a big Thursday night game. I

302
00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:16,080
Speaker 1: know you're going down to Houston. At least you get

303
00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:18,000
Speaker 1: to see a hot team in Philly. I don't know

304
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:19,440
Speaker 1: if it's gonna be much of a game, but what

305
