1 00:00:04,559 --> 00:00:07,760 Speaker 1: Is the Drive with Dale Lolly and Matt Williamson on 2 00:00:09,119 --> 00:00:24,160 Speaker 1: Home of the Black and Goal. Steelers Nation Radio is 3 00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:27,680 Speaker 1: Matt Williamson, This is to drive on Steelers Nation Radio. 4 00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:31,120 Speaker 1: And Matt, you and I get a stat package. Uh well, 5 00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:32,680 Speaker 1: I get it first and then they send it to 6 00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:36,559 Speaker 1: you from the original list. It comes from the NFL, 7 00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:39,920 Speaker 1: And I thought this was interesting they put this stuff. 8 00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:42,640 Speaker 1: It's it's always chuck full of good stuff. But I 9 00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:44,959 Speaker 1: was looking at this little chart that they put out 10 00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:48,559 Speaker 1: on what team's records are and what it means for 11 00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:51,920 Speaker 1: their playoff chances every year. Now, I'm not saying that 12 00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:56,360 Speaker 1: the Steelers. We're not making predictions what's your playoff contenders 13 00:00:56,440 --> 00:00:59,640 Speaker 1: or anything like that right now. But here's the difference 14 00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:02,440 Speaker 1: right now between if if the Steelers win this game 15 00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:05,560 Speaker 1: on Sunday and if they don't. So real quick, do 16 00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:08,119 Speaker 1: you know how long this goes back? This goes back. 17 00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:12,080 Speaker 1: So it's a little and even so if you look 18 00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:15,360 Speaker 1: at it from that perspective, there wasn't seven teams the 19 00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:16,920 Speaker 1: whole time. That's what I was saying. There's not seven 20 00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:19,280 Speaker 1: teams playoffs, right, you know? Yeah, so that's only been 21 00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:22,399 Speaker 1: a common Yeah. Now maybe five years from that, we'll 22 00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:24,800 Speaker 1: have a different chart that comes out. Since the NFL 23 00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:28,039 Speaker 1: went to seven teams in the playoffs, higher, right, it 24 00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:31,360 Speaker 1: goes higher. Yeah, what I was saying, So if you 25 00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:34,920 Speaker 1: go five, if you get the five and seven, your 26 00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:39,920 Speaker 1: chances of making the playoffs are six point six percent. Now, 27 00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:43,120 Speaker 1: there's been a hundred and fifty one five and seven 28 00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:47,480 Speaker 1: teams since six point so ten of those have made 29 00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:51,120 Speaker 1: the playoffs in that span. As you just said, that 30 00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:56,400 Speaker 1: number is probably going seven teams obviously one going if 31 00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:59,000 Speaker 1: I'm sure if it was, if it was seven teams 32 00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:01,400 Speaker 1: going all the way back to nine nineties, probably twelve 33 00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:04,040 Speaker 1: or thirteen that have made the playoffs after five and 34 00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:07,240 Speaker 1: seven start, I will say, and you're talking about this yesterday, 35 00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:10,320 Speaker 1: to five and seven in the NFC is a lot different. 36 00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:15,520 Speaker 1: Five and without without a doubt, now, winning your division 37 00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:18,480 Speaker 1: at five after five and seven started, three teams have 38 00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:22,040 Speaker 1: done that, okay, and then the other seven teams that 39 00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:24,600 Speaker 1: have made the playoffs have gone in as wild cards. 40 00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:29,880 Speaker 1: Do you think again, we're not predicting the Steelers are 41 00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:32,240 Speaker 1: going the playoffs, win the Super Bowl are going undefeed 42 00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:34,440 Speaker 1: the rest of the way. I almost feel like They're 43 00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:37,160 Speaker 1: better chance of getting the playoffs is winning the division 44 00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:42,680 Speaker 1: because you play the Ravens twice. What if the Bengals 45 00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:44,480 Speaker 1: have an injury or two and don't look good, you 46 00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:47,360 Speaker 1: know what I mean, Like you could conceivably win the 47 00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:50,399 Speaker 1: division easier than you could get in a wild card. Yeah. 48 00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:53,320 Speaker 1: I mean if right now, if they want out, they would, 49 00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:56,800 Speaker 1: they would get to ten wins, ten and seven seven 50 00:02:57,080 --> 00:03:00,560 Speaker 1: you're getting in now. Again, not predicting that, yeah, but 51 00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:03,519 Speaker 1: here's the difference between that in going in, going to 52 00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:09,000 Speaker 1: three and eight, four eight, four and eight. Only one 53 00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:12,520 Speaker 1: team since nineteen ninety has made the playoffs after starting 54 00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:17,120 Speaker 1: four and eight, and that team is one one his division. Okay, 55 00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:20,120 Speaker 1: remember that one year there was like Seattle got in 56 00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:22,600 Speaker 1: with lynn seven and nine. Yeah, I wonder if that 57 00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:25,359 Speaker 1: was the maybe you know something or maybe who ever 58 00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:28,880 Speaker 1: in the a f C or NFC South this year 59 00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:31,200 Speaker 1: will be one of those type of teams if the 60 00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:34,560 Speaker 1: Saints get hot, or Atlantic or Carolina gets hot or something. 61 00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:37,400 Speaker 1: Here's the thing. There's been one team that made the 62 00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:41,600 Speaker 1: postseason that started three eight and one that was one 63 00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:46,320 Speaker 1: of those teams you got the seven eight, Yeah, that 64 00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:48,520 Speaker 1: might have been Seattle and that team won his division. 65 00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:51,440 Speaker 1: But there's only been five one and they started with 66 00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:54,320 Speaker 1: twenty Of the time, if you start three eight and one, 67 00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:58,600 Speaker 1: you make two playoffs. So okay, the Steelers are what 68 00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:01,680 Speaker 1: they'd be five and eight with win? Yes, what's I 69 00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:04,120 Speaker 1: wonder what six and eight is or six and seven. 70 00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:07,040 Speaker 1: Six and seven is not on here yet because nobody's 71 00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:09,000 Speaker 1: played thirteen games. But if if you get to six 72 00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:13,760 Speaker 1: and six, you have a thirty seven point six percent 73 00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:18,080 Speaker 1: chance of making a lash conceivably. I'm just being regretful 74 00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:19,800 Speaker 1: and saying, what if they'd have got one more win? 75 00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:22,000 Speaker 1: I said that when when they lost those you know, 76 00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:24,960 Speaker 1: when they lost a couple of those games early, winning 77 00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:27,359 Speaker 1: one of those games one more back then, right, Because 78 00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:31,039 Speaker 1: here's the thing, if they win this game this week 79 00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:34,280 Speaker 1: against the Atlanta Falcons, they'll be four and four with 80 00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:37,320 Speaker 1: Kenny Pickett as a starter. Yeah, right, right, right, I 81 00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:42,000 Speaker 1: mean right, you know, uh, then you get the Ravens 82 00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:45,360 Speaker 1: at home. They're not playing well. I don't like where 83 00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:47,720 Speaker 1: the Ravens are at right now. I think I'd be 84 00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:51,480 Speaker 1: worried if I was a Ravens supporter. Of the saving graces. 85 00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:54,880 Speaker 1: They just have a great schedule, Yeah, um not part 86 00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:56,400 Speaker 1: of the reason they have a great Schuthers because they 87 00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:59,479 Speaker 1: play the Steelers twice. The Steelers have underachieved to this point. 88 00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:02,760 Speaker 1: If you're basing off winning percentages and things like that, 89 00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:04,680 Speaker 1: you know, right, but I think the Steelers are harder 90 00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:07,400 Speaker 1: play against now than they were a month ago. Yeah, 91 00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:10,760 Speaker 1: free by right, absolutely So. I just think that's interesting 92 00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:14,320 Speaker 1: here that that you know, that's the difference between you know, 93 00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:16,280 Speaker 1: winning this. You know, if they had that one more 94 00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:19,120 Speaker 1: win right now, if they were what would they be five? 95 00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:23,240 Speaker 1: And say let's say they pick off two of two 96 00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:25,520 Speaker 1: of those four and they get that win, it to 97 00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:28,400 Speaker 1: be a lot too, huge different, huge different difference. And 98 00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:30,440 Speaker 1: I understand people are like, none of this matters. We 99 00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:32,839 Speaker 1: can't win the super Bowl. I want the best I 100 00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:35,440 Speaker 1: just want the best draft pick I can get. I 101 00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:37,440 Speaker 1: hate to say this, folks, but the draft pick thing 102 00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:40,479 Speaker 1: isn't looking great for you right now in terms of 103 00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:43,279 Speaker 1: getting Jalen Carter or that You're not going to get 104 00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:47,000 Speaker 1: one of those guys because there's so many bad teams 105 00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:51,040 Speaker 1: in the league. Exactly the embarking, you know, wouldn't you 106 00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:55,040 Speaker 1: like to get can you pick at that first playoffs? 107 00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:57,000 Speaker 1: Start out of the way, you know. Yeah, I mean 108 00:05:57,040 --> 00:06:00,760 Speaker 1: if that, if that's possible, you know, but I do 109 00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:04,400 Speaker 1: think the chances of, oh, we'll just take the best 110 00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:06,080 Speaker 1: corner in the draft for the best left tackle in 111 00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:08,920 Speaker 1: the draft. That's dwindling, folks. Yeah. I mean, because there's 112 00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:11,280 Speaker 1: some bad franchises out there, and I think the series 113 00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:13,400 Speaker 1: is gonna win game. Yeah. I mean that one win 114 00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:16,720 Speaker 1: last week pushed you from seven to twelve. Yeah. I 115 00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:18,560 Speaker 1: don't think you're pick in the top ten. Yeah, I mean, 116 00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:20,640 Speaker 1: you'll get a good player, right, I don't think you're 117 00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:23,440 Speaker 1: gonna get a rare, transcendent prospect. You know, you might 118 00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:25,680 Speaker 1: you mighty end up being a Hall of Fame, but 119 00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:28,160 Speaker 1: you're not going to get you know, they got they 120 00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:29,919 Speaker 1: got T J. Watt and Cam Heyward at the end 121 00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:31,640 Speaker 1: of the first round. Oh yeah. I mean I'm not 122 00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:34,479 Speaker 1: implying that they won't add a high quality player in 123 00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:37,080 Speaker 1: the draft. But you're not gonna have your pick of no, 124 00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:39,480 Speaker 1: you know, any of the left tackles you want. Yeah, 125 00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:43,200 Speaker 1: that will be the situation. Arizona is just not gonna 126 00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:49,560 Speaker 1: take one. But yeah, so it's it's it's interesting, Um, 127 00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:54,520 Speaker 1: you know, if you look at the other situations here. Um, 128 00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:56,719 Speaker 1: I think if you start a loving and one, twenty 129 00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:59,839 Speaker 1: out of twenty times you've made the playoffs nine and three, 130 00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:03,680 Speaker 1: eighty six out of eighty nine, Like tonight's game has 131 00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:06,239 Speaker 1: a lot of playoff in oh, without a doubt, because 132 00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:09,520 Speaker 1: that division is so tight. If the Pats lose, I 133 00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:11,680 Speaker 1: don't say they're out of it, but boy, they would 134 00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:13,960 Speaker 1: be in. They would fall to six and six. And 135 00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:16,040 Speaker 1: even the Bills. I know the Bills are going the playoffs. 136 00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:18,280 Speaker 1: They lose to Night They're owing three in the East, 137 00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:21,880 Speaker 1: and they're probably going in as a wild card almost right. 138 00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:25,160 Speaker 1: So it's just Miller and I R and you know, like, yeah, 139 00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:27,280 Speaker 1: I mean there's there's a lot of football we played. 140 00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:30,200 Speaker 1: That's there's a lot of consequences. That's the thing here. 141 00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:33,400 Speaker 1: You know, usually as you head into December, you know 142 00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:35,520 Speaker 1: you've got you've got maybe four games left. Well, now 143 00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:38,520 Speaker 1: it's six six. It's a good point. It's a different 144 00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:42,440 Speaker 1: you know, somebody talking today about the you know, fantasy again, 145 00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:45,440 Speaker 1: I listened to a lot of fantasy football radio and 146 00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:48,280 Speaker 1: they're talking about how we're heading into the final quarter 147 00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:52,520 Speaker 1: of the fantasy football season. I'm like, not quite, Yeah, 148 00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:56,880 Speaker 1: I mean, I guess weeks of technically it is because 149 00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:02,440 Speaker 1: you got to two more weeks of regular season and playoffs. Yeah, 150 00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:06,640 Speaker 1: but it's different. Left, it's different. Um, what was I 151 00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:11,240 Speaker 1: gonna say? M h oh? I mean a month ago, 152 00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:14,160 Speaker 1: I firmly believe there were three teams that could win 153 00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:17,240 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. Yeah. Now I think there's eight, right, 154 00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:19,120 Speaker 1: you know what I mean, And I think that they're 155 00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:23,680 Speaker 1: Attrition happens, guys step up, and I'm certain there's ten 156 00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:27,400 Speaker 1: teams that are much worse than the Steelers right this minute, 157 00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:31,400 Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Yeah, Um, that's kind of 158 00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:35,680 Speaker 1: the the Brian Knowles on Football Outsiders took a look 159 00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:42,760 Speaker 1: at that, uh, you know, breaking down the teams that 160 00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:46,160 Speaker 1: that are completely out of it and the teams that aren't. Yeah, 161 00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:49,680 Speaker 1: I mean I do think that there's groups of those. Now, yeah, 162 00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:54,000 Speaker 1: he breaks, he breaks. He has the walking Dead listen 163 00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:58,160 Speaker 1: epitomizes listed as ten teams. I don't think the Steelers 164 00:08:58,160 --> 00:08:59,719 Speaker 1: are walking dead whether he puts them in he put 165 00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:01,679 Speaker 1: him in there. Okay, I get that because the record, 166 00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:04,360 Speaker 1: but the record is a record. Yeah. Uh. He said 167 00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:11,840 Speaker 1: that the the the Packers, Cardinals, Rams, Bears, Texans, Broncos Steelers, Brown's, Raiders, 168 00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:16,520 Speaker 1: and Colts have a combined twelve point four percent chance 169 00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:20,720 Speaker 1: that one of them makes the playoffs. See how much 170 00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:23,760 Speaker 1: that's not That's not that bad. That's not that bad. Actually, 171 00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:28,360 Speaker 1: I mean the Giants are currently in the playoffs. They 172 00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:32,920 Speaker 1: play Washington, Philly, Washington. I think that's oh and three 173 00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:37,959 Speaker 1: for the Giants as they're currently playing, right, so, could 174 00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:40,840 Speaker 1: Green Bay get in potentially? You know, I mean like 175 00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:45,200 Speaker 1: that walking dead. I guess I've misspoke earlier. There's really 176 00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:47,720 Speaker 1: probably six walking dead you know what I mean that 177 00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:50,360 Speaker 1: are dead on their feet. I mean Houston, Chicago, some 178 00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:54,080 Speaker 1: of those teams. And really you have to be dead 179 00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:57,199 Speaker 1: dead in the NFC to not be relevant at all. 180 00:09:57,360 --> 00:09:59,480 Speaker 1: I think you have to look you can't just look 181 00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:02,400 Speaker 1: at the record. You have to look at how the 182 00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:07,520 Speaker 1: team is currently playing. Yeah, so I look at the Steelers. 183 00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:09,960 Speaker 1: Steelers are three and three in the last six games. Yea, 184 00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:15,719 Speaker 1: with the losses being to Philadelphia, Miami and Cincinnati, three 185 00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:18,720 Speaker 1: of the teams. I think we're Super Bowl relevant, right, 186 00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:21,079 Speaker 1: So I look at the rest of the schedule, as 187 00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:23,480 Speaker 1: we've talked about multiple times on this show and saying 188 00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:26,640 Speaker 1: a lot of these games on the stretch are winnable, 189 00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:30,720 Speaker 1: and suddenly these these two games against the Ravens are massive, 190 00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:34,120 Speaker 1: look winnable. They look winnable, right. And I happened to 191 00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:35,960 Speaker 1: dig this up because I was looking at the Falcons 192 00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:39,160 Speaker 1: schedule and it actually stemmed from that packet you sent 193 00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:42,520 Speaker 1: me that the league puts out. The only team with 194 00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:45,480 Speaker 1: a winning record remaining on the Falcon schedule is the Ravens. 195 00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:47,679 Speaker 1: The only team with a winning record on the Steeler 196 00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:52,120 Speaker 1: schedule remaining. They're not playing well. So again, I don't 197 00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:53,880 Speaker 1: think the Steeler is gonna run the table. I mean, 198 00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:55,600 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna even I don't know if they'll beat 199 00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:57,480 Speaker 1: the Raiders. I don't know what they'll beat the Atlanta 200 00:10:57,559 --> 00:11:00,360 Speaker 1: this week, or or anyone for that matter. But it's 201 00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:03,719 Speaker 1: not that brutal. Yeah, it's not real, it's not outside 202 00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:06,679 Speaker 1: the realm of possibility. It's not. But boy, one more 203 00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:10,640 Speaker 1: would have one more win, would would be huge right now? Yes, huge? 204 00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:12,240 Speaker 1: I mean if then he would have given Miami a 205 00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:15,880 Speaker 1: loss or the Browns. Only the Browns are walking dead. No, 206 00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:18,360 Speaker 1: I mean it was it's is Cleveland Radio radio. I'm 207 00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:21,040 Speaker 1: having the same I guarantee they're having that conversation. Watson's 208 00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:23,040 Speaker 1: back and all that too, you know, and you're probably 209 00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:26,320 Speaker 1: gonna get a win this week. The staggering forwards. He 210 00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:29,280 Speaker 1: has four teams listed in that group, like I think 211 00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:32,440 Speaker 1: the Packers are still staggering. He has in that group 212 00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:37,480 Speaker 1: four teams. He has the Panthers, the Saints, that's just 213 00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:40,960 Speaker 1: because they're no terrible division, the Jaguars, And where's his 214 00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:42,800 Speaker 1: fourth team And I'm not seeing a fourth team here 215 00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:46,240 Speaker 1: on the Lions. That tells you how bad. That tells 216 00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:49,880 Speaker 1: you what the NFC is like, because the Panthers currently 217 00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:52,520 Speaker 1: have the third pick in the draft or fourth, and 218 00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:55,760 Speaker 1: they have the same record as the Steelers, but they're 219 00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:59,120 Speaker 1: in that division. But they're in that division division. The 220 00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:01,680 Speaker 1: Jaguars still have a four point four percent chance to 221 00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:06,440 Speaker 1: win the a f C South, but I mean, I 222 00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:08,880 Speaker 1: can't imagine how that would happen. Who's a better chance 223 00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:11,000 Speaker 1: for the South in your opinion, the Colts or Jags. 224 00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:14,559 Speaker 1: I think Jags are better like the Jags are better 225 00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:16,920 Speaker 1: football yea, yeah. I think they're a half game behind 226 00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:19,320 Speaker 1: the Colts though, because that tie, but the Colts have 227 00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:22,640 Speaker 1: also when they can't probably probably don't finish tied with Tennessee, 228 00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:27,280 Speaker 1: but they got swept by Tennessee. Yeah, Tennessee. I mean 229 00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:29,600 Speaker 1: it almost has no choice but the winning division. Yeah, 230 00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:31,800 Speaker 1: and I don't think they win this week, and they're 231 00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:34,400 Speaker 1: they're not particularly good either. They're in a great spot 232 00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:38,520 Speaker 1: coasting to have finished. There are five teams. Baltimore is 233 00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:41,319 Speaker 1: one of those, the Chiefs, the Titans, the Eagles, the Cowboys. 234 00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:45,440 Speaker 1: To like, what he means by this is it's they're 235 00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:47,840 Speaker 1: probably the probably going to get in even if they 236 00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:51,160 Speaker 1: only win two more games. Titans are perfect for that. Yeah, 237 00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:54,000 Speaker 1: Like the Bengals can't be in that, not yet, because 238 00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:57,079 Speaker 1: there's tied with Baltimore for the division. The Chiefs this week, 239 00:12:57,200 --> 00:12:59,280 Speaker 1: Yeah right, they're not coasting anywhere, but I think they're 240 00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:02,960 Speaker 1: really good. Uh. And then you've got four teams still 241 00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:07,760 Speaker 1: plugging away, the forty niners because they because there's seven 242 00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:10,079 Speaker 1: and four. Yeah, you lost in a swamp in Chicago, 243 00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:12,840 Speaker 1: and I mean that's a team. It's like, we should 244 00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:16,040 Speaker 1: have one more win. Yeah yeah, right, if not to 245 00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:22,200 Speaker 1: the Bills because they lose to Night. I've had the 246 00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:27,080 Speaker 1: Dolphins and the Ravens agreed. Yeah, I mean the Ravens 247 00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:29,040 Speaker 1: have an easy schedule but I don't know anything's easy 248 00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:32,600 Speaker 1: for them, right, Okay, Yeah, I see the categories. I 249 00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:35,000 Speaker 1: won't fight them too much. I think the Walking Dead 250 00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:38,040 Speaker 1: is too big. I would probably make a fifth category. 251 00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:40,600 Speaker 1: They actually does have a thick fifth one in the 252 00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:43,640 Speaker 1: thick of the race. Nine teams there, okay, is not 253 00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:47,760 Speaker 1: like the Chargers. That's the Buccaneers and the Falcons, the Seahawks, 254 00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:53,720 Speaker 1: the Giants and Commanders, um, the Bengals, Jets, Patriots, and Chargers. 255 00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:56,760 Speaker 1: There's a lot of teams in this group. They're going 256 00:13:56,840 --> 00:14:00,280 Speaker 1: the wrong direction. I was gonna say, Giants, Seattle, they're 257 00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:02,520 Speaker 1: coming back to Earth. I was about to ask you 258 00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:04,920 Speaker 1: do to think anyone in that category can win the 259 00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:08,840 Speaker 1: Super Bowl? But I think Cincinnati win. Cincinnati is probably 260 00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:11,040 Speaker 1: the only the Chargers would have to get healthy. They'd 261 00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:13,720 Speaker 1: have to get really hot boasts back and every you know, 262 00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:16,880 Speaker 1: and and maybe even then. I don't see it. I 263 00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:18,480 Speaker 1: did at the beginning of the year, But they just 264 00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:20,720 Speaker 1: they have some fatal flaws. Like I could see them 265 00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:23,160 Speaker 1: getting hot and getting into the playoffs, But are they 266 00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:29,080 Speaker 1: going to go two Buffalo or Kansas City with weather 267 00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:34,000 Speaker 1: and wind and do it again the next week? That 268 00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:38,360 Speaker 1: happen in the run defense not happen. But I mean 269 00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:42,440 Speaker 1: if you look at the teams in this group, the Buccaneers, 270 00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:49,880 Speaker 1: the Falcons, Commanders, the Bengals, Jets, Patriots, Chargers, Steelers have 271 00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:53,680 Speaker 1: actually beaten some of these teams, and again the Jets 272 00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:56,360 Speaker 1: and Patriots very well, it could have beaten those teams. 273 00:14:56,400 --> 00:14:59,320 Speaker 1: That's again there's there's Jets and Patriots game. To get 274 00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:02,560 Speaker 1: us back to the to the context of what we're 275 00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:05,840 Speaker 1: talking about. Initially, you win those two games, you're in 276 00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:08,600 Speaker 1: this category. One of the games during that category, Yeah, 277 00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:11,520 Speaker 1: I mean, if you would have beat the Patriots, Jets, Browns, 278 00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:13,320 Speaker 1: I think the Browns were obviously the better team that 279 00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:15,320 Speaker 1: or Miami. Miami to me was the most winnable with 280 00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:17,280 Speaker 1: those because he was throwing the ball too and you 281 00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:18,920 Speaker 1: just didn't catch it right. But if you happen to 282 00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:20,720 Speaker 1: get one more win out of that group, I think 283 00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:22,800 Speaker 1: you're in this group. I look at that Patriots game 284 00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:25,160 Speaker 1: like that's what was there for the taking. It was. 285 00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:27,360 Speaker 1: I mean, again, they don't fumble, they don't have the 286 00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:31,560 Speaker 1: fumble punt. They probably win that football game. Maybe that 287 00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:35,040 Speaker 1: one is more winnable than Miami, but there they might 288 00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:38,240 Speaker 1: they might still be playing a ten ten tie right 289 00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:40,400 Speaker 1: right or even, But I thought the Steelers were the 290 00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:43,520 Speaker 1: better team overall. I did to the Jets one I 291 00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:45,960 Speaker 1: have mixed feelings onto. Yeah, they were the They were 292 00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:48,000 Speaker 1: the better team against the Jets most of the game, 293 00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:50,640 Speaker 1: and then they gave up a couple of drives later, 294 00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:53,360 Speaker 1: but they were I thought they were better for the 295 00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:55,840 Speaker 1: majority of the game. But it's a sixty minute football game, 296 00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:58,000 Speaker 1: as we know, and I don't know. I mean, I'm 297 00:15:58,000 --> 00:15:59,800 Speaker 1: not trying to be a Steeler apologist or make people 298 00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:02,480 Speaker 1: feel better, but I think they're playing like this category 299 00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:04,560 Speaker 1: one of those teams better than some of them. You know, 300 00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:07,040 Speaker 1: some of those times are not, particularly if they played 301 00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:08,800 Speaker 1: the Giants right now, I think I'm taking the Steelers 302 00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:10,640 Speaker 1: all day long. Yeah, I mean, we know where the 303 00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:12,400 Speaker 1: Saints are at, and some of them are just because 304 00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:16,560 Speaker 1: they're in a bad division. Mostly those NFC teams are 305 00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:18,480 Speaker 1: going to see one of those teams this week, the Falcons. 306 00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:21,480 Speaker 1: The more I think about it, a team like Green Bay, 307 00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:24,160 Speaker 1: if they're five hundred the rest of the way or 308 00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:26,840 Speaker 1: just start to play well. That's why Rogers isn't giving 309 00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:30,120 Speaker 1: up on the season. I mean, Yes, it's a disappointing year, 310 00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:34,800 Speaker 1: but they could beat anyone, and the Giants can't, and 311 00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:39,880 Speaker 1: Seattle can't, and can Washington keep this up? Maybe, I mean, 312 00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:43,720 Speaker 1: but I mean they're not really a contender. Yeah, the 313 00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:48,000 Speaker 1: Buccaneers and Falcons have a combined nine five chance to 314 00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:51,600 Speaker 1: win the NFC South. One of those two teams Falcons. Yeah, 315 00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:53,960 Speaker 1: but you really want to be the five seed. You 316 00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:55,720 Speaker 1: want to be the best wild card team because you're 317 00:16:55,720 --> 00:16:58,640 Speaker 1: gonna get one of those those buildings, which isn't that bad, 318 00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:01,560 Speaker 1: and you're gonna be favored. If you look at the 319 00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:04,479 Speaker 1: wild cards spot going to the Eagles, Cowboys runner up 320 00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:06,760 Speaker 1: one of those two. There's those tours givens at this 321 00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:10,320 Speaker 1: point from Yeah, the Seahawks, Giants, and Commanders will be 322 00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:14,640 Speaker 1: fighting for two spots and that's yucky. They're not yeah right, Yeah, 323 00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:16,960 Speaker 1: they're gonna The NFC is gonna have two non playoffs, 324 00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:19,479 Speaker 1: three non playoff teams. Yeah, it might open and then 325 00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:21,720 Speaker 1: people will start complaining again like they did last year. 326 00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:24,960 Speaker 1: It's too many playoff teams. Yeah. I have a problem 327 00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:28,080 Speaker 1: with that. Either you're a playoff team or not. Yeah, 328 00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:30,520 Speaker 1: And I don't have a big strong feeling of you 329 00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:32,600 Speaker 1: should only have one team on to buy as opposed 330 00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:35,560 Speaker 1: to to like it used to be, it's an honor 331 00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:37,639 Speaker 1: to get that one. So the fact that there's an 332 00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:39,879 Speaker 1: odd number in the play yeah, I actually kind of 333 00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:42,840 Speaker 1: like the fact that the number one seed gets the 334 00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:45,320 Speaker 1: week off and the number two dozen't you know? To me, 335 00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:47,960 Speaker 1: that was always kind of unfair because there could be 336 00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:50,960 Speaker 1: a big gap between those. Oh yeah, yeah, Steelers are 337 00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:52,720 Speaker 1: fifteen and one. I mean, how many years did did 338 00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:56,480 Speaker 1: New England finishes the two seed and in a bad 339 00:17:56,480 --> 00:17:58,600 Speaker 1: division and got the rest. Yeah, and then everybody's going 340 00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:00,680 Speaker 1: there until the SEC championship game, and then you know, 341 00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:02,679 Speaker 1: the other team gets knocked off and they you know, 342 00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:06,680 Speaker 1: they never leave home. Um. Yeah, that's that's an interesting 343 00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:08,720 Speaker 1: problem with the playoffs the way they're constructed. Now. I 344 00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:11,120 Speaker 1: didn't love a seventh team going in there when it happened, 345 00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:13,960 Speaker 1: But I also remember when it did happen. I thought 346 00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:16,320 Speaker 1: the two years before they made this rule, the Steelers 347 00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:17,760 Speaker 1: would have been the seven. They would have been the seventh. 348 00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:20,560 Speaker 1: Who knows what would happen. They weren't great teams, but 349 00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:22,600 Speaker 1: they would have gone in the show. There were a 350 00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:24,520 Speaker 1: couple of those years though they didn't make it at 351 00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:26,879 Speaker 1: like eight and eight. I'm trying to think like the 352 00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:29,960 Speaker 1: twenty thirteen season when they went six and two in 353 00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:32,560 Speaker 1: the second half, they would have been a bit I mean, 354 00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:34,720 Speaker 1: nobody would have wanted to play that team to the 355 00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:38,320 Speaker 1: definition of those teams, right. Um, So it's it's interesting 356 00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:40,960 Speaker 1: as we had here into December, it's a lot of 357 00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:44,000 Speaker 1: mine is there's still a lot of meaningful football left. Yeah, 358 00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:46,400 Speaker 1: just because it's December and people were hanging Christmas stuff. 359 00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:48,480 Speaker 1: If you think the seasons near the end, it really 360 00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:50,960 Speaker 1: isn't it really is not. You know, there's a lot 361 00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:54,760 Speaker 1: you know, you you you listen to you know, fantasy 362 00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:57,000 Speaker 1: radio and I listened to podcasts all the time, and 363 00:18:57,359 --> 00:18:59,600 Speaker 1: so many of the podcasts have opened and I do 364 00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:02,960 Speaker 1: it too. It's week thirteen already. I can't believe it. Well, yeah, 365 00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:05,600 Speaker 1: but there's eighteen of them in a bunch of playoffs. Like, 366 00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:09,160 Speaker 1: there's a lot more stuff to happen, um, a lot 367 00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:14,600 Speaker 1: more injuries. You know, who's your rookie Let's let's talk 368 00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:18,200 Speaker 1: about this real quick as we head into December. Who's 369 00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:22,520 Speaker 1: your offensive Rookie of the Year pick? It can't be 370 00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:27,840 Speaker 1: Kenny can't be it could be Kenny and done. It's 371 00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:29,920 Speaker 1: all said and done. This is the time where you 372 00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:31,760 Speaker 1: you kind of separate. This is the time of year 373 00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:35,200 Speaker 1: when Baker Mayfield wanted, Oh yeah, a couple three years, 374 00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:40,159 Speaker 1: way better than any other Canadida. Yeah, total stud like 375 00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:43,520 Speaker 1: Breece Hall would have been in the mix, but no, yea, 376 00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:45,800 Speaker 1: Damian Pierce would have been in the mix until three 377 00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:50,080 Speaker 1: weeks ago. Three In the last month, I think Walker's 378 00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:52,920 Speaker 1: in the mix. He's in the mix. I think is 379 00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:57,000 Speaker 1: in the mix. London isn't anymore. But those guys aren't 380 00:19:57,000 --> 00:19:59,960 Speaker 1: overwhelming favorites at this point. That's what I'm saying. Justin Jeffers, 381 00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:05,120 Speaker 1: it's it's there. If finishes strong, Let's say he's five 382 00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:08,520 Speaker 1: or a game over as a starter, plays like he 383 00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:10,640 Speaker 1: has the last couple of weeks, doesn't have a huge 384 00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:14,560 Speaker 1: number of interceptions, he could end up being the obvious choice, 385 00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:17,080 Speaker 1: not even you know, and Walker would have to keep 386 00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:18,560 Speaker 1: it up. I think right now I would give it 387 00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:21,560 Speaker 1: the Walker, but it's easy to forget the first month 388 00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:24,280 Speaker 1: he wasn't. He didn't do anything. Part time play, Yeah, 389 00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:26,720 Speaker 1: they didn't do anything. How about defensive rookie of the Year. 390 00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:30,199 Speaker 1: I think it's Sauce Gardner as well. Yeah, and we'll 391 00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:32,320 Speaker 1: get we'll get a chance to see him. They play 392 00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:37,119 Speaker 1: the Vikings this week. Can he shut down Jefferson? He 393 00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:41,360 Speaker 1: doesn't travel, contrary to popular belief, but they'll line up 394 00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:44,080 Speaker 1: a lot. By the way, I did a little bit 395 00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:48,240 Speaker 1: of research on Terrell. He traveled. Nobody travels every snap, 396 00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:51,640 Speaker 1: but they will. He followed the Chlorin around a lot 397 00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:54,240 Speaker 1: last week. I bet he does something of that nature 398 00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:56,400 Speaker 1: of this game somebody. I would do it with Pickens, 399 00:20:57,240 --> 00:20:59,080 Speaker 1: but most people look at Johnson as the one and 400 00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:01,600 Speaker 1: this isn't one verse thing. It's just a style thing. Yeah, 401 00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:04,800 Speaker 1: he's big and long and contested catch type guy, which 402 00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:07,000 Speaker 1: is more his style. I would follow him with Pickens 403 00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:10,720 Speaker 1: and roll coverage to Johnson. Yeah, you know, we'll see um. 404 00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:14,920 Speaker 1: How about say like Hutchinson. I don't think it's in 405 00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:17,560 Speaker 1: it for defensive Rookie of the Year. Yeah, I think 406 00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:20,560 Speaker 1: it's Sauce Gardener. What's his face of the corner in 407 00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:22,600 Speaker 1: Seattle has had a good year, but I think it's 408 00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:26,960 Speaker 1: gotta be yeah, yeah, uh, Coach of the Year. I 409 00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:32,440 Speaker 1: don't know. There's ten really good candidates. It's tough. Mahomes 410 00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:34,240 Speaker 1: is the m v P, right, Mahomes is running away 411 00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:36,719 Speaker 1: with him. Yeah, I mean that's not even a question anymore, 412 00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:39,080 Speaker 1: not the way Allen's played lately. I'm sure some people 413 00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:42,760 Speaker 1: are thinking Hurts. I think my Homes is just so 414 00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:45,680 Speaker 1: much better than everybody else right now. About Offensive Player 415 00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:48,760 Speaker 1: of the Year, I thought that was a slam dunk 416 00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:54,240 Speaker 1: for Tyreek. Diggs is in the mix. No one gives 417 00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:56,560 Speaker 1: Digs that kind of credit. You reminded me just a 418 00:21:56,560 --> 00:21:58,800 Speaker 1: week or so ago, he's the number one fantasy receiver 419 00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:01,840 Speaker 1: with Tyreek. I mean, he's having a monster year. Tyreek 420 00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:05,000 Speaker 1: hasn't got to touchdown catches that. Yeah, that's that's kind 421 00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:07,720 Speaker 1: of the separator. I don't think any back is in that. Yeah, 422 00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:10,240 Speaker 1: not this year, not this year. And it's usually the 423 00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:12,680 Speaker 1: quarterbacks get their own way. They get the m v pH, 424 00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:14,920 Speaker 1: they don't get the Yeah. I mean, maybe you give 425 00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:16,800 Speaker 1: it the Hurts with my Homes wins the m v P. 426 00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:21,880 Speaker 1: But I think it's probably Tyreek or Jefferson Defensive Player 427 00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:30,600 Speaker 1: of the Year. Micah, You'll get a lot of votes. Um. 428 00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:33,960 Speaker 1: I'm just trying to think if there's anybody outside m 429 00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:36,800 Speaker 1: M there's not a linebacker that time. About both in 430 00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:40,480 Speaker 1: San Francisco, I was actually thinking Warner in San Francisco. Yeah, 431 00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:42,040 Speaker 1: one of those two guys. I mean, they've got the 432 00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:46,679 Speaker 1: toughest defense to play against, the most complete defense. I 433 00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:48,479 Speaker 1: bet Garrett gets a voter or two that will make 434 00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:51,520 Speaker 1: you mad. He's not just I don't think you can't. 435 00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:53,840 Speaker 1: You can't take a guy off a defense. It's that 436 00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:56,440 Speaker 1: bad him. Tell him, tell me that there, he's he's 437 00:22:56,440 --> 00:22:58,600 Speaker 1: the defensive player that here. Donald will still get votes. 438 00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:02,920 Speaker 1: I think it's parts. Yeah, Donald can't win it this year. 439 00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:06,359 Speaker 1: I don't think anybody in the secondary stands out a 440 00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:09,680 Speaker 1: vous like Corner, you know, or something like that. Coach 441 00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:11,520 Speaker 1: of the Year is a hard one for me, Like 442 00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:13,800 Speaker 1: I to make case for rabel or I mean some 443 00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:16,760 Speaker 1: of the guys that are like I think, like a 444 00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:19,560 Speaker 1: month ago, it was Brian Table. It was the name 445 00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:20,880 Speaker 1: I was about to throw out, like, I can't give 446 00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:24,000 Speaker 1: the Giants anymore. No, they may make the playoffs, they're 447 00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:25,480 Speaker 1: coming back to Earth. I mean, I can't give it 448 00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:29,200 Speaker 1: to Pete Carroll anymore. About Connell in Minnesota, pretty good, 449 00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:31,479 Speaker 1: pretty good. I don't hear a lot of people talk 450 00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:33,240 Speaker 1: about him. I mean, I think the Eagles are certainly 451 00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:40,560 Speaker 1: in the mix without doubt. Want Andy Reid, Well, yeah, 452 00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:43,080 Speaker 1: they did it themselves. Yeah, and they got draft picks 453 00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:45,040 Speaker 1: and they're rebuilding and all that stuff. There's a method 454 00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:49,040 Speaker 1: behind them, Sirian Absolutely one loss, you know. I mean 455 00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:51,240 Speaker 1: there's some there's some candidates. There's a lot of good ones. 456 00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:53,919 Speaker 1: I mean that kind of lean towards Rabel more I 457 00:23:53,920 --> 00:23:57,280 Speaker 1: think about it. I'm definitely missing somebody though. I thought 458 00:23:57,280 --> 00:23:59,240 Speaker 1: about this a couple of weeks ago and thought, and 459 00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:02,040 Speaker 1: I can get that can case for eight dude. Miami. 460 00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:06,240 Speaker 1: Miami is a good one. Yeah, yeah, it's a good one. Jets. Yeah, 461 00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:09,480 Speaker 1: I mean they don't have a quarterback all year. That's 462 00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:11,840 Speaker 1: a big deal, kind of a big deal when they're 463 00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:15,639 Speaker 1: highly competitive about movie. They could miss started three different quarterbacks. 464 00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:19,680 Speaker 1: I like their chances in Minnesota. It's something Mike White's great. 465 00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:24,240 Speaker 1: But I think that's a coin flip game. Yeah. Yeah, interesting, um, 466 00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:26,360 Speaker 1: but that's what it is with as we head into 467 00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:29,280 Speaker 1: the final month and a half of the season. Yeah, 468 00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:31,439 Speaker 1: there we go. So that's the stretch here. As we 469 00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:36,359 Speaker 1: get into the stretch, run um.
