Speaker 2: the way tire buying should be. As Martin and VJ

8
00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:33,360
Speaker 2: just told you, we officially have a situation in Detroit.

9
00:00:33,960 --> 00:00:38,320
Speaker 2: The Lions are driving, but currently trail forty five to

10
00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:44,440
Speaker 2: twenty eight five forty to go. Disastrous game for the Lions.

11
00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:49,479
Speaker 2: Legend growing in Jaden Daniels. Even if they score here,

12
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:51,400
Speaker 2: j Martin, if my math is correct, it's still going

13
00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:57,480
Speaker 2: to be a two score game with five minutes to go. Unbelievable. Unbelievable,

14
00:00:57,560 --> 00:00:58,520
Speaker 2: jaymar unbelievable.

15
00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:01,960
Speaker 3: So there was this weird play early in this game

16
00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:05,759
Speaker 3: where they brought in Marcus Mariota on a fourth and one.

17
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:08,200
Speaker 3: Jane Daniels was also in the game. They brought in

18
00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:11,039
Speaker 3: Mariota and put him underneath center, moved him in right

19
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:13,960
Speaker 3: at the last second, and then he and Brian Robinson

20
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:18,160
Speaker 3: had a bad exchange and the Lions took over and

21
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:20,520
Speaker 3: then went down its cord, and I was thinking to myself,

22
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:22,560
Speaker 3: oh man, we might have a blowout here, because it

23
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:25,240
Speaker 3: doesn't look like they can stop Jamir Gibbs. And that's

24
00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:28,000
Speaker 3: the kind of mistake that a team that's not really

25
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:31,199
Speaker 3: used to being in this kind of a spot does,

26
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:35,640
Speaker 3: and then when it goes wrong, they usually crumble. And

27
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:40,039
Speaker 3: since that point, the Washington Commanders have not made a mistake,

28
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:43,480
Speaker 3: and the Lions have made multiple mistakes, throwing the football

29
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:46,880
Speaker 3: to guys wearing the opposite jerseys, putting it on the ground,

30
00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:49,640
Speaker 3: getting too cute with some of their offensive calls. This

31
00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:53,360
Speaker 3: hasn't been one of Ben Johnson's best nights, and the

32
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:57,440
Speaker 3: injury attrition for the Lions, especially on the defensive side

33
00:01:57,480 --> 00:02:01,720
Speaker 3: of the football, has just put them in a bad spot.

34
00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:06,080
Speaker 3: But make no mistake, no one is going to care

35
00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:13,520
Speaker 3: about that after this game. This is a gigantic, gigantic

36
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:17,040
Speaker 3: fail if you're a Lions fan, like the stuff that

37
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:19,520
Speaker 3: you're seeing from them when they're showing them in the stands,

38
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 3: they look like they've looked for the better part of

39
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:25,520
Speaker 3: the last four decades. When you actually watch this and

40
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:28,520
Speaker 3: Jaden Daniels just looks like he has made for this

41
00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:31,919
Speaker 3: moment in a way that well, if he wins this game,

42
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:34,960
Speaker 3: he becomes only the second rookie quarterback to win two

43
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:37,520
Speaker 3: playoff games in this rookie season. The other one was

44
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:41,600
Speaker 3: Ben Roethlisberger. That's the list. It becomes Benn Roethlisberger and

45
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:44,400
Speaker 3: Jaden Daniels and that's it. And let me tell you something.

46
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:49,880
Speaker 3: Jaden Daniels against either Jalen Hurts or that Matthew Stafford

47
00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:54,720
Speaker 3: Rams team, they could go to the super Bowl. It

48
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:57,800
Speaker 3: is possible based on the way this offense is playing

49
00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:00,520
Speaker 3: right now, that this is a team that would make

50
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:02,200
Speaker 3: it to a super Bowl. It's not like they haven't

51
00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:06,120
Speaker 3: seen the Philadelphia Eagles this season twice already. So this

52
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:11,320
Speaker 3: is stunning, quite frankly, that this Lions team has just

53
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:15,040
Speaker 3: been manhandled like this for a number of different reasons.

54
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:18,400
Speaker 3: But they have just looked undisciplined. Not that they weren't ready,

55
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:21,360
Speaker 3: but I'm not sure they were expecting the Commanders to

56
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:24,079
Speaker 3: come in and do this to them in their house.

57
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:27,600
Speaker 2: So a lot of different angles that we can start on.

58
00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:30,519
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't even know where to start. First

59
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:32,640
Speaker 2: of all, I should start with the fact that the

60
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:34,960
Speaker 2: Lions did elect to kick a field goal, cuts the

61
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:37,960
Speaker 2: lead to fourteen. There's a little over five minutes to go,

62
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:41,760
Speaker 2: so it is in fact a two possession game. Lions

63
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:44,720
Speaker 2: do still have all three timeouts, but they haven't really

64
00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:48,119
Speaker 2: stopped Jaydon Daniels all night, maybe since the first first

65
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:50,120
Speaker 2: series or two of the game. By the way, the

66
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:54,160
Speaker 2: Commanders were twenty eight second quarter points, the highest scoring

67
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:58,360
Speaker 2: second quarter I believe in NFL history, but certainly in

68
00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:01,920
Speaker 2: playoff history. They shared both stats during the halftime show,

69
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:03,680
Speaker 2: so I'm not sure exactly which one is accurate, or

70
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:06,200
Speaker 2: if both are accurate. But it is currently forty five

71
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:10,160
Speaker 2: thirty one, five oh one left. It looks like Washington

72
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:12,200
Speaker 2: is preparing for an on side kick. It looks like

73
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:19,000
Speaker 2: what Detroit will kick the on side kick? We can't

74
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:23,800
Speaker 2: do play by play here. Washington has recovered, so this

75
00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:26,160
Speaker 2: is the I mean, Jason, I think that that play

76
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:28,000
Speaker 2: is a perfect metaphor for the entire night. I know

77
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:30,640
Speaker 2: there are thousands of you all over the country driving around.

78
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:34,200
Speaker 2: You're not watching this game live, but Detroit trailing by

79
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:36,680
Speaker 2: fourteen points. For those of you just joining us, forty

80
00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:39,520
Speaker 2: five thirty one, about five minutes to go, Detroit did

81
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:41,240
Speaker 2: just kick a field goal line up for an on

82
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:44,200
Speaker 2: side kick, and it was actually a great kick, bounces

83
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:47,120
Speaker 2: over one guy's head, two or three lines touch it,

84
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:49,960
Speaker 2: and it ends up being recovered by the Commanders. I

85
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:52,159
Speaker 2: just think that's a metaphor for the entire night, is

86
00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:56,119
Speaker 2: that things are just going wrong at the worst possible time. Listen,

87
00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:58,040
Speaker 2: and this sounds like I'm gonna be taking away from

88
00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:00,400
Speaker 2: the Commanders. It's not, but it does just feel like

89
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:02,400
Speaker 2: their night. Every time they need to pick up a

90
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:05,159
Speaker 2: big yard on fourth down, they do a couple really

91
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:09,400
Speaker 2: boneheaded mistakes by Detroit, including you know, I think Ben

92
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:12,080
Speaker 2: Johnson trying to show just how deep his bag is.

93
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:16,240
Speaker 2: Jamison Williams pick at the worst possible time. Yes, Jamison

94
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:20,640
Speaker 2: Williams was dropping back to pass down two scores. But

95
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:24,320
Speaker 2: I just think that that that that that onside kick

96
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:26,400
Speaker 2: is a metaphor for tonight, Jason. It just feels like

97
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:30,360
Speaker 2: nothing is going right, and it just feels like it's

98
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:33,480
Speaker 2: Washington's night, And that makes it sound negative that Washington

99
00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:35,640
Speaker 2: somehow doesn't know that they're clearly the better team. They

100
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:38,080
Speaker 2: are clearly more deserving, but I'm just trying to make

101
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:40,520
Speaker 2: the point of it just does not really feel like

102
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:44,160
Speaker 2: Washington's night tonight.

103
00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:48,039
Speaker 3: It definitely feels like washing tonight. I'm still stunned. Like

104
00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:52,120
Speaker 3: Jamiir Gibbs, they haven't been able to stop all night long.

105
00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:54,359
Speaker 3: He has fourteen carries in this game for one hundred

106
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:56,760
Speaker 3: and five yards. He's averaging seven and a hot half

107
00:05:56,800 --> 00:05:59,479
Speaker 3: every time he totes it. He's got two touchdowns in

108
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:02,520
Speaker 3: the game. He's five catches for sixty one yards in

109
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:06,440
Speaker 3: this game. This thing did not have to go this way.

110
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:10,560
Speaker 3: I don't know why Ben Johnson and the offense decided

111
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:13,080
Speaker 3: that they were going to throw it as often as

112
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:16,640
Speaker 3: they've thrown it, especially being kind of ineffective and Golf

113
00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:18,839
Speaker 3: maybe having his best night. Yeah, go ahead.

114
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:21,239
Speaker 2: You know what, it really reminds me of remember last

115
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:24,400
Speaker 2: year Baltimore. Oh my goodness, you r where you're.

116
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:26,680
Speaker 3: Going because you've you've said it before. I mean, we've

117
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:29,920
Speaker 3: talked about it so many times that it is. It's

118
00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:32,400
Speaker 3: like it's getting away from the thing that you do.

119
00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:35,040
Speaker 2: Yes, and when the reference I was going to make

120
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:37,200
Speaker 2: for people who didn't pick up on that right away,

121
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:39,200
Speaker 2: as jam Martis said, I have said it many times.

122
00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:41,000
Speaker 2: Ja mart and I have talked about this game many

123
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:44,400
Speaker 2: times last year's AFC Championship game, and the parallel to

124
00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:48,120
Speaker 2: me is Baltimore falls down early, and I don't have

125
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:49,640
Speaker 2: the box score in front of me. I don't know

126
00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:52,840
Speaker 2: if it was, you know, seven nothing, fourteen to three,

127
00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:55,719
Speaker 2: whatever it was, and they just completely got away from it,

128
00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:57,799
Speaker 2: and they basically felt like it felt like they felt

129
00:06:57,839 --> 00:06:59,320
Speaker 2: like they had to be in a two minute offense

130
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:01,320
Speaker 2: the rest of the game. And I will say where

131
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:03,799
Speaker 2: I think the parallel works as well, is it felt

132
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:07,080
Speaker 2: like they were more afraid this is the Ravens of

133
00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:10,200
Speaker 2: the threat of Patrick Mahomes, and they actually were of

134
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:12,560
Speaker 2: Patrick Mahomes. And that's where I feel like the Lions

135
00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:16,080
Speaker 2: were tonight. Was I get that they didn't feel that

136
00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:18,400
Speaker 2: they felt like, Okay, we're playing a special quarterback in

137
00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:21,080
Speaker 2: Jayden Daniels who's having a special night, a historic night.

138
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:23,560
Speaker 2: But it just felt like they completely went away from

139
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:25,280
Speaker 2: who they were. And then I did cutch you off,

140
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:27,840
Speaker 2: James Martz, I want you to continue. But as you said,

141
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:32,120
Speaker 2: Jamir Gibbs was gashing them every single time he touched

142
00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:34,280
Speaker 2: the ball. I understand now with four minutes to go

143
00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:36,520
Speaker 2: down fourteen points. Even if you get the ball back,

144
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:39,400
Speaker 2: that's a different conversation. But I just felt like they

145
00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:41,200
Speaker 2: went into panic mode way too early, I guess is

146
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:42,080
Speaker 2: the point I'm trying to make.

147
00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:46,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean again, they had no answer for him,

148
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:48,000
Speaker 3: and I still don't think that they have an answer

149
00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:51,080
Speaker 3: for him. He is perfect for their offense against this

150
00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:54,560
Speaker 3: Washington defense, and it helps you control the clock and

151
00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:59,040
Speaker 3: keep the robot on the sidelines, keep that freak show

152
00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:03,200
Speaker 3: on the side lines in Jayden Daniels, and that is

153
00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:05,520
Speaker 3: becoming a thing. The other thing that is becoming a

154
00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:11,560
Speaker 3: thing watching this is I happened to see a comment

155
00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:16,679
Speaker 3: from someone that basically suggested, are we watching Ryan Leaf

156
00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:20,760
Speaker 3: Peyton Manning Volume two. I don't think we are to

157
00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:24,640
Speaker 3: that point yet, but you are certainly seeing that Jaden

158
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:27,440
Speaker 3: Daniels is more ready right now for this moment than

159
00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:30,320
Speaker 3: Caleb Williams appeared to be so now. At the same time,

160
00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:33,040
Speaker 3: it's a different leadership structure, it's a different There's a

161
00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:35,840
Speaker 3: lot of things that Jaden Daniels has in terms of advantages.

162
00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:40,439
Speaker 3: That's it. I do not think that Caleb Williams would

163
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:42,880
Speaker 3: have them where Jaden Daniels has them right now.

164
00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:45,280
Speaker 2: Didn't you ask? Were you the one that asked me

165
00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:46,360
Speaker 2: that like three weeks ago?

166
00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:48,719
Speaker 3: You we we talked about it at some point. I

167
00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:50,800
Speaker 3: don't know who asked too, but we definitely had this

168
00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:53,720
Speaker 3: discussion three quarters of the way through the season. But

169
00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:57,240
Speaker 3: I think now that you've seen Jaden Daniels beat Tampa

170
00:08:57,280 --> 00:08:59,040
Speaker 3: Bay on the road and then go to the number

171
00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:02,640
Speaker 3: one seed and just show out in prime time in

172
00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:06,840
Speaker 3: front of the whole country, I think it's probably worth mentioning. Again.

173
00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:11,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, what I would say about that is one, first

174
00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:12,560
Speaker 2: of all, I just feel bad for Caleb.

175
00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:13,400
Speaker 3: I mean either too.

176
00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:15,760
Speaker 2: You know, you see how this coaching search is going.

177
00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:19,200
Speaker 2: There's no rhyme or reason anything. We've heard Pete Carroll,

178
00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:22,320
Speaker 2: I think Brian Flores, there's some brid and it's like

179
00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:25,760
Speaker 2: it just speaks to how dysfunctional that organization is and

180
00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:30,760
Speaker 2: Washington obviously has historically been dysfunctional. But and again I

181
00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:32,760
Speaker 2: don't want this to sound like I'm tearing down Jayden

182
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:35,840
Speaker 2: when he is having a historic, a star is born

183
00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:38,800
Speaker 2: performance in front of our eyes here, But like you know,

184
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:42,319
Speaker 2: I just you look at the Bears and it's or

185
00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:43,800
Speaker 2: you look at the commanders. Excuse me. I know that

186
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:47,040
Speaker 2: they've historically been a totally dysfunctional organization in the last

187
00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:52,199
Speaker 2: twenty years. But fresh start, new head coach, new offensive coordinator,

188
00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:56,680
Speaker 2: new management, new ownership, and everybody in that building is

189
00:09:56,800 --> 00:10:00,000
Speaker 2: bought in on Jayden Daniels, Whereas in a you know,

190
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:01,760
Speaker 2: we don't have to make this a Caleb versus Jaden

191
00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:04,520
Speaker 2: conversation the second, but like it is kind of important,

192
00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:06,040
Speaker 2: and you and I talked about it. We talked about

193
00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:09,680
Speaker 2: dating back to last February. It's like, so Caleb's going

194
00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:13,760
Speaker 2: in in a hot seat coach situation, and you know

195
00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:16,800
Speaker 2: it's a defensive coach that has to win and what

196
00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:19,520
Speaker 2: is he and it's just it just I do think

197
00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:21,960
Speaker 2: what it shows I don't want to say more than

198
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:23,640
Speaker 2: anything because it feels like it would be taking away

199
00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:26,600
Speaker 2: from Jadon Daniels. But what it does show is that

200
00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:29,840
Speaker 2: where you land matter, where who you land with matters.

201
00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:32,000
Speaker 2: How much better do we feel about Drake may going

202
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:34,640
Speaker 2: into next year with Mike rabel as his head coach

203
00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:37,080
Speaker 2: as opposed to Gerard Mayo or even if it had

204
00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:39,720
Speaker 2: been Bill Belichick. So I don't want to take away

205
00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:41,840
Speaker 2: from Jayden Daniels. I think it's a good point by you,

206
00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:45,480
Speaker 2: and I think, listen independent what we think about Caleb Williams,

207
00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:47,680
Speaker 2: this feels like one of the first steps to Jade

208
00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:50,840
Speaker 2: and Daniels. If things go well, I mean, we could

209
00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:52,680
Speaker 2: be talking about him doing a lot. I don't want

210
00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:55,200
Speaker 2: to start putting labels on him, but I think we

211
00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:58,000
Speaker 2: all know what he is potentially capable of if he

212
00:10:58,000 --> 00:10:59,439
Speaker 2: can continue to play at this level.

213
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:03,880
Speaker 3: I also think, and just because of the geography of

214
00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:09,400
Speaker 3: the country, the possibility of Jade and Daniels v Lamar

215
00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:13,120
Speaker 3: Jackson over the next you know, even half a decade

216
00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:17,200
Speaker 3: or so, if Jaden continues to grow and Lamar obviously

217
00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:19,240
Speaker 3: we already know what level he's playing at. I mean,

218
00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:22,120
Speaker 3: they're not separated by a whole lot of real estate,

219
00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:25,360
Speaker 3: like they're very close together. That could become quite a rivalry.

220
00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:28,840
Speaker 3: Now it's certainly interconference, but there's a shot you could

221
00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:31,640
Speaker 3: see that Super Bowl this year. I'm not gonna say

222
00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:33,960
Speaker 3: that's what you are going to see, but it's possible.

223
00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:36,760
Speaker 2: Can I can I just say if Jaden Daniels makes

224
00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:40,440
Speaker 2: a Super Bowl, that's insane. Do you understand the Olympics

225
00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:42,960
Speaker 2: that is going to go on on sports talk debate

226
00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:47,640
Speaker 2: shows to like how quickly that would escalate to who

227
00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:51,400
Speaker 2: can say the craziest thing about Jade and Daniels. I'm

228
00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:53,640
Speaker 2: just thinking about, honestly, and I know this is another

229
00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:55,280
Speaker 2: reference I've made a hundred times, but I'm just thinking

230
00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:58,040
Speaker 2: about Anthony Edwards last year where it went from wow,

231
00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:00,640
Speaker 2: he's one of the best players in the league, to wow,

232
00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:04,080
Speaker 2: he's the next face of the NBA to oh, my goodness, is.

233
00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:05,640
Speaker 3: He likes better than Michael Chum?

234
00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:05,920
Speaker 4: Yeah?

235
00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:08,160
Speaker 2: And I'm like, can we all chill out here for you?

236
00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:10,120
Speaker 2: Can we let the guy win maybe like two or

237
00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:13,520
Speaker 2: three rings before we compare him to mjuh By the way,

238
00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:16,559
Speaker 2: we do have an update in Detroit. Positive if you're

239
00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:20,800
Speaker 2: a Lions fan, Zane Gonzalez did just miss a field

240
00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:25,679
Speaker 2: goal forty five thirty one is the score. Lions will

241
00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:29,080
Speaker 2: get the ball back to twenty six to go. That

242
00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:32,720
Speaker 2: obviously that that that that field goal essentially would have

243
00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:37,440
Speaker 2: iced the game. Detroit still does trail by fourteen points

244
00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:40,480
Speaker 2: with two minutes and change to go, and so their

245
00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:42,680
Speaker 2: backs are against the wall. It does not look good,

246
00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:45,400
Speaker 2: but there is a glimmer of hope a Zane Gonzalez

247
00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:48,800
Speaker 2: miss field goal has given Detroit the ball back with

248
00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:52,080
Speaker 2: to twenty six left. Fox Sports Radio Errors Jason Martin.

Speaker 2: hope you're not a Lions fan. I know you're not,

269
00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:01,280
Speaker 2: but I hope if you're listening you're not a Lions fan.

270
00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:03,880
Speaker 2: It's going to be a tough one. We have thirty

271
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:07,880
Speaker 2: nine seconds left. Detroit is driving. They do still have

272
00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:12,079
Speaker 2: the football, but they're trailing forty five thirty one, thirty

273
00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:17,040
Speaker 2: nine seconds to go in this game. You know they're

274
00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:21,240
Speaker 2: in range to score and potentially kick the on side kick.

275
00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:23,880
Speaker 2: But not looking good if you're if you're a Lions

276
00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:25,520
Speaker 2: fan right now, as they have just gotten in the

277
00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:27,480
Speaker 2: red zone thirty nine seconds to go.

278
00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:33,400
Speaker 3: So, assuming this ends the way we think it is

279
00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:37,280
Speaker 3: going to end, the AFC North zero to three in

280
00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:39,760
Speaker 3: the playoffs and all of them are done. Oh my goodness,

281
00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:43,600
Speaker 3: Packer's lost to the Eagles. Vikings got absolutely embarrassed by

282
00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:48,240
Speaker 3: the Rams, and now the Lions look to be dropping

283
00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:51,359
Speaker 3: as the number one seed to Jaydon Daniels rookie quarterback

284
00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:54,600
Speaker 3: and the Washington Commanders. So the AFC North that was

285
00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:57,800
Speaker 3: touted all season long looks like they may be exiting

286
00:14:57,840 --> 00:14:59,520
Speaker 3: the playoffs without a single victory.

287
00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:04,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, So, by the way, keep things going Detroit again

288
00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:07,960
Speaker 2: in the in the red zone forty five thirty one.

289
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:11,120
Speaker 2: We are now under thirty seconds to go, and we

290
00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:14,920
Speaker 2: officially have a ballgame. Interception by Jared Goff in the

291
00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:18,920
Speaker 2: red zone. That is his third interception of the game,

292
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:23,320
Speaker 2: the Lions fourth interception of the game. Detroit will not

293
00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:26,800
Speaker 2: be able to stop the clock. The Washington Commanders will

294
00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:31,440
Speaker 2: take a knee with twenty five seconds to go. Jason Martin,

295
00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:36,320
Speaker 2: the Washington Commanders have beaten the Detroit Lions forty five

296
00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:40,440
Speaker 2: to thirty one. The Washington Commanders will head to the

297
00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:43,880
Speaker 2: NFC Championship game. All right, let's do this, Jason. First

298
00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:45,600
Speaker 2: of all, want to go ahead, open the phone lines

299
00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:49,200
Speaker 2: one eight ninety nine on Fox one eight seven seven

300
00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:53,320
Speaker 2: nine nine six six three six nine. And what I

301
00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:57,000
Speaker 2: think I want to start with is this is this

302
00:15:57,080 --> 00:16:02,560
Speaker 2: story more about the Commanders rising to the challenge or

303
00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:06,960
Speaker 2: is it more about Detroit after a record setting season

304
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:11,680
Speaker 2: for that franchise, disappointing ending to the season. Is it

305
00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:14,960
Speaker 2: more about Washington winning? Is it more about Detroit losing?

306
00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:17,680
Speaker 2: But we do have a final. The two coaches are

307
00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:23,000
Speaker 2: shaking hands at midfield. Final score in Detroit forty five

308
00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:27,120
Speaker 2: to thirty one. The Detroit Lions, as the number one

309
00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:31,440
Speaker 2: seed in the NFC have been eliminated. The Washington Commanders

310
00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:34,960
Speaker 2: will advance. As Jason Martin just told you, Jaden Daniels

311
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:39,480
Speaker 2: becomes just the second rookie quarterback in the history of

312
00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:43,680
Speaker 2: the NFL to win two playoff games as a rookie

313
00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:46,320
Speaker 2: to open his career. I think part of the story

314
00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:48,680
Speaker 2: is Jade and Daniels. We're certainly going to talk about him.

315
00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:52,080
Speaker 2: I think part of the story is probably as well,

316
00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:55,720
Speaker 2: the performance by the Detroit Lions and Jared Goff one touchdown,

317
00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:58,800
Speaker 2: three interceptions for golf. Tell you what Jamart will come

318
00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:00,800
Speaker 2: back first of all again the phone umber one seven

319
00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:04,360
Speaker 2: seven ninety nine on Fox one eight seven seven nine

320
00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:07,600
Speaker 2: nine six six three six ' nine. Before we get

321
00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:10,320
Speaker 2: to it, though, let's get over the news desk. He's

322
00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:13,120
Speaker 2: gonna have all sorts of details to set up the conversations.

323
00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:16,480
Speaker 2: It's more about Washington winning or Detroit losing. First time

324
00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:18,320
Speaker 2: though this evening for our show, Let's get it to

325
00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:20,400
Speaker 2: the news desk. Steve Desager, take it away, sir.

326
00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:23,359
Speaker 6: Hello to you, gentlemen, and Jaden Daniels, the first rookie

327
00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:27,600
Speaker 6: quarterback to have multiple TD passes in two different playoff

328
00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:30,760
Speaker 6: games his rookie year forty five thirty one the final

329
00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:33,119
Speaker 6: in the upset at Detroit. And by the way, I

330
00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:36,720
Speaker 6: believe when Dan Campbell came out to midfield to congratulate

331
00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:39,159
Speaker 6: the opposing coach tonight, he did not say see you

332
00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:39,840
Speaker 6: in two weeks.

333
00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:43,320
Speaker 2: That was our Brandon Deutsch just tweeted out when he

334
00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:45,479
Speaker 2: set c in two weeks? Did he mean in Cabo

335
00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:47,320
Speaker 2: or can kuon or what did he mean there?

336
00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:50,240
Speaker 6: You're right, Minnesota's out, Detroit's out. As you mentioned Green

337
00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:53,320
Speaker 6: Bay as well. So AP has this stat for us.

338
00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:56,480
Speaker 6: There have been more than just a few times that

339
00:17:56,560 --> 00:18:00,680
Speaker 6: a division has had three different teams make the playoffs. Apparently,

340
00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:03,480
Speaker 6: since the merger with the AFL in nineteen seventy, it's

341
00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:07,520
Speaker 6: thirty four different times division's had three teams same season

342
00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:10,920
Speaker 6: go into the playoffs. This is the only time where

343
00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:15,840
Speaker 6: all three went winless. The NFC north of twenty twenty four, already,

344
00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:19,320
Speaker 6: some people are saying online, could it possibly be the

345
00:18:19,359 --> 00:18:22,680
Speaker 6: neighbors in the Super Bowl? Washington and Baltimore?

346
00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:27,040
Speaker 2: Jason Martins That was Jason Martin's take. That would be amazing.

347
00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:28,640
Speaker 3: Washington, such a fun.

348
00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:34,760
Speaker 6: Rivalry already people have said, so they're this good as

349
00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:36,320
Speaker 6: soon as Daniel Snyder leaves.

350
00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:37,280
Speaker 3: What does that say?

351
00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:41,480
Speaker 6: My goodness, Commanders fourteen and five beat a Detroit team

352
00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:45,200
Speaker 6: that was fifteen and two, and I need to say

353
00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:48,280
Speaker 6: out loud, if the Rams can pull off the upset tomorrow,

354
00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:51,800
Speaker 6: the La Rams will be hosting the NFC Championship game

355
00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:55,560
Speaker 6: next weekend. To say snow is in the forecast for

356
00:18:55,600 --> 00:19:00,080
Speaker 6: Philadelphia tomorrow is an understatement that Eagles Rams game. The

357
00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:05,159
Speaker 6: current forecast at kickoff ninety six percent chance of snow

358
00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:08,320
Speaker 6: and thirty four degrees. You mentioned all the scoring in

359
00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:11,840
Speaker 6: the second quarter of this Washington win at Detroit tonight.

360
00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:14,520
Speaker 6: In fact, it was four touchdowns for the Commanders and

361
00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:18,159
Speaker 6: two touchdowns for Detroit, all in the second quarter right

362
00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:21,240
Speaker 6: before halftime. The Fox stat at halftime was those two

363
00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:24,920
Speaker 6: had the highest scoring quarter in playoff history in the NFL,

364
00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:29,480
Speaker 6: forty two points combined. And the rookie does it again.

365
00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:33,040
Speaker 6: Jayden Daniels up to thirty five touchdowns this season, rushing

366
00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:36,199
Speaker 6: and passing combined. The rookie record is thirty six in

367
00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:40,359
Speaker 6: a season. Playoffs included justin Herbert's rookie year in twenty

368
00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:44,199
Speaker 6: twenty on on the day or on the night, I

369
00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:47,040
Speaker 6: should say now Jadon Daniels two hundred and ninety nine

370
00:19:47,119 --> 00:19:50,400
Speaker 6: yards passing and two scores, and on the ground sixteen

371
00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:55,320
Speaker 6: carries fifty one yards. The Washington run defense all season

372
00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:57,840
Speaker 6: not good, was among the worst in the league. It

373
00:19:57,920 --> 00:20:01,000
Speaker 6: allowed almost one hundred forty yards round rushing per game

374
00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:06,080
Speaker 6: on average. Tonight, yeah, they got rushing yards over two

375
00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:09,480
Speaker 6: hundred for Detroit, and yet Jamiir Gibbs only had fourteen

376
00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:12,879
Speaker 6: carries in this game. Fourteen carries, one hundred five yards,

377
00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:15,680
Speaker 6: two scores. The Lions are out forty five thirty one.

378
00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:18,720
Speaker 6: Commanders win It a franchise that had not won a

379
00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:22,440
Speaker 6: playoff game since the two thousand and five season until

380
00:20:22,520 --> 00:20:25,959
Speaker 6: last Sunday night and the upset at Detroit tonight, Kansas

381
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:29,719
Speaker 6: City eliminated Houston today twenty three to fourteen. Texans end

382
00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:34,119
Speaker 6: up eleven and eight. Travis Kelcey seven receptions, one hundred

383
00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:38,000
Speaker 6: and seventeen yards and a touchdown. Texas Longhorns coach Steve

384
00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:41,359
Speaker 6: Sarkeishan got an extension through twenty thirty one. In the

385
00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:45,240
Speaker 6: NBA Atlanta in overtime one at Boston one, nineteen to

386
00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:48,800
Speaker 6: one fifteen. In college hoops tonight, Santa Clara wins at

387
00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:53,520
Speaker 6: number sixteen Gonzaga one three to ninety nine NHL Tampa

388
00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:56,520
Speaker 6: Bay five to one over Detroit. Nashville sixty two winners

389
00:20:56,560 --> 00:20:58,960
Speaker 6: against Minnesota. Back to you, Thank you very.

390
00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:01,600
Speaker 2: Much, Steve Desager. This this is Fox Sports Radio, Fox

391
00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:04,440
Speaker 2: Sports Saturday or towards Jason Martin broadcasting live on the

392
00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:07,120
Speaker 2: tyreck dot Com studios to say you got you caught

393
00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:10,280
Speaker 2: up on everything else that happened in sports on Saturday.

394
00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:14,200
Speaker 2: But the story of the moment is exactly what we

395
00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:16,120
Speaker 2: plan on talking about quite a bit for the rest

396
00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:20,879
Speaker 2: of the night. Washington Commanders Final in Detroit beat the

397
00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:25,399
Speaker 2: Detroit Lions, final score forty five to thirty one. Jaden

398
00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:27,720
Speaker 2: Daniels as de Segre just told you. Two hundred ninety

399
00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:32,680
Speaker 2: nine yards passing, two touchdowns, fifty one yards rushing, converted

400
00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:35,960
Speaker 2: a couple of crucial fourth downs late in the game

401
00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:38,800
Speaker 2: to keep Detroit off of the field in that offense.

402
00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:41,879
Speaker 2: The other story it was just listen, it was a

403
00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:44,359
Speaker 2: disc There are a lot there is a lot of

404
00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:46,880
Speaker 2: blame to go around in Detroit, but it is worth

405
00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:49,320
Speaker 2: noting Jared goff Is, the quarterback. Quarterback gets a lot

406
00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:52,000
Speaker 2: of credit and also a lot of blame. One touchdown,

407
00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:57,000
Speaker 2: three interceptions, one pick six in this game, also an

408
00:21:57,040 --> 00:22:00,960
Speaker 2: interception in the final thirty seconds to seal the Detroit lost.

409
00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:05,640
Speaker 2: Jmart I'll just ask you right now, bigger story the

410
00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:10,760
Speaker 2: emergence of the Washington Commanders and Jaden Daniels or the disappointing,

411
00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:13,919
Speaker 2: stunning end to the season of the Detroit Lions.

412
00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:17,680
Speaker 3: I think it's the former, because I think that the

413
00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:23,679
Speaker 3: star matters, and because this was prime time and it

414
00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:26,560
Speaker 3: was kind of the coming out party for Jaden Daniels.

415
00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:31,320
Speaker 3: That will be the bigger story long term, because if

416
00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:33,640
Speaker 3: Jaden Daniels goes on to have the career that he's

417
00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:36,199
Speaker 3: capable of having, this is going to be one of

418
00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:38,879
Speaker 3: those moments, along with the Hail Mary craziness at the

419
00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:40,600
Speaker 3: end of the Bears game and a couple of other

420
00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:43,440
Speaker 3: highlights during the season. But you recall about week ten

421
00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:45,560
Speaker 3: or so, we were all kind of looking at the

422
00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:47,240
Speaker 3: Commanders and saying they may have hit a bit of

423
00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:50,240
Speaker 3: a wall, no doubt, and I think that they did.

424
00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:53,560
Speaker 3: And then Jaden Daniels realized that he could still scale

425
00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:56,720
Speaker 3: that wall, and so he then started climbing it as

426
00:22:56,720 --> 00:22:59,680
Speaker 3: opposed to just running into it. And so now we're

427
00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:02,240
Speaker 3: waiting to see if a second wall emerges, because I

428
00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:04,240
Speaker 3: don't think the first one was enough to hold them

429
00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:07,280
Speaker 3: back for an entire half season. So I think the story,

430
00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:10,840
Speaker 3: I'm gonna think positively and choose joy and say it's

431
00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:12,880
Speaker 3: not gonna be about the Lions as much as it's

432
00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:16,360
Speaker 3: gonna be about Jaden Daniels becoming a superstar to the

433
00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:20,240
Speaker 3: entire country in front of a major audience, being the

434
00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:24,679
Speaker 3: only football game on and just putting forth one of

435
00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:28,159
Speaker 3: those kind of performances where it's just, oh my gosh,

436
00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:31,000
Speaker 3: he is faster than you think he is. He's making

437
00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:33,560
Speaker 3: every play. The Lions don't look like they know what

438
00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:35,919
Speaker 3: to do against him on defense. And remember this is

439
00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:38,720
Speaker 3: a coordinator and Aaron Glenn who's one of the top

440
00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:41,480
Speaker 3: candidates in the coaching cycle, and they were in EP

441
00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:43,840
Speaker 3: tonight they had no answer for him. Yes, they were

442
00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:48,240
Speaker 3: certainly depleted defensively big time, but nobody cares about that.

443
00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:51,800
Speaker 3: Like at this stage, it's gonna be I think about

444
00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:55,439
Speaker 3: Jaden Daniels first, and then the Lions. One b I

445
00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:57,240
Speaker 3: don't think this is gonna be forgotten about. It's gonna

446
00:23:57,240 --> 00:23:59,399
Speaker 3: be talked about as a big time failing, and you're

447
00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:01,159
Speaker 3: gonna look at you golf and that's going to be

448
00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:03,560
Speaker 3: talked about quite a bit as well. But I think

449
00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:06,760
Speaker 3: the big story, the big takeaway is number five in

450
00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:07,920
Speaker 3: the commander's uniform.

451
00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:09,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, so let's stick with this for a little bit.

452
00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:12,080
Speaker 2: We got plenty of time to get to the Detroit

453
00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:13,560
Speaker 2: side of things. By the way, if you do want

454
00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:15,879
Speaker 2: to call in one eight seven, seven ninety nine on

455
00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:18,800
Speaker 2: Fox one eight seven seven nine nine six six three

456
00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:21,480
Speaker 2: sixty nine, we do have a couple callers already. We'll

457
00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:24,720
Speaker 2: get to them momentarily. I listen, I tend to agree

458
00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:27,440
Speaker 2: with you, j Martin. I do think probably the story

459
00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:30,479
Speaker 2: coming tomorrow is Jaden Daniels because it was such a

460
00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:34,480
Speaker 2: dominant effort. Right if it was a star quarterback, rookie quarterback,

461
00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:39,120
Speaker 2: and the final score here was, uh, you know, twenty

462
00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:42,480
Speaker 2: one seventeen and Jared Goff had three picks, it's a

463
00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:46,359
Speaker 2: completely different conversation. So to me, listen, we've been watching

464
00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:48,639
Speaker 2: this story. I think, like you said, the cool part was,

465
00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:51,439
Speaker 2: as you said, throughout the season, it felt like he

466
00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:53,600
Speaker 2: was hitting a little bit of a wall there at

467
00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:56,440
Speaker 2: the beginning. They have that hot start, they're four and one,

468
00:24:56,440 --> 00:24:58,960
Speaker 2: they're seven and two, then they end up losing three

469
00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:02,360
Speaker 2: straight to right in the middle of the season, they

470
00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:04,679
Speaker 2: had a weird late bye week and I think that

471
00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:08,040
Speaker 2: really rejuvenated them. And then what's been fun is that

472
00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:10,840
Speaker 2: they've just had a lot of high profile games late

473
00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:13,040
Speaker 2: in the year. Right is that you know, you have

474
00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:15,800
Speaker 2: the game against Michael Pennix that goes to overtime, rookie

475
00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:19,320
Speaker 2: on rookie in Week seventeen. You of course have the

476
00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:22,680
Speaker 2: crazy finish last week against Tampa. But this was absolutely,

477
00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:25,679
Speaker 2: in my opinion, the coming out party. And now you know,

478
00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:28,080
Speaker 2: I'll say this is that that as we look ahead

479
00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:32,920
Speaker 2: to what could potentially be an upcoming opponent, Like, think

480
00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:35,200
Speaker 2: it's kind of worth noting. I know the Eagle, they

481
00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:37,480
Speaker 2: beat the Eagles when Jalen Hurts got hurt with the

482
00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:40,119
Speaker 2: concussion and he went out. I know Jalen Hurts is back,

483
00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:43,880
Speaker 2: but they did just beat the Eagles a few weeks ago. Think,

484
00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:46,400
Speaker 2: if you can go into Detroit, I don't think you're

485
00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:48,439
Speaker 2: going to be scared to go into Sofi stadium if

486
00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:50,440
Speaker 2: that's who the opponent is. And so I know it's

487
00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:53,879
Speaker 2: kind of hard to have this conversation based on the

488
00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:56,280
Speaker 2: fact that we don't yet know who they will be playing,

489
00:25:56,640 --> 00:25:58,000
Speaker 2: but I bring it up to say, if you can

490
00:25:58,040 --> 00:26:00,199
Speaker 2: go in Detroit and beat these Lions. And I know

491
00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:02,439
Speaker 2: that NFC North did not have a good postseason, but

492
00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:04,520
Speaker 2: that is a legitimate Lions team, and there's a lot

493
00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:07,119
Speaker 2: to talk about from the Lion's perspective. I don't think

494
00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:08,959
Speaker 2: there's any reason to think that they can't keep this

495
00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:10,919
Speaker 2: going next week depending on who the opponent is.

496
00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:16,359
Speaker 3: No, I don't either not in any way, shape or form. Again,

497
00:26:17,359 --> 00:26:21,679
Speaker 3: they are and Jayden Daniels especially is too young to

498
00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:24,520
Speaker 3: know how big what he's doing actually is. Like the

499
00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:27,120
Speaker 3: moment isn't too big for him. He hasn't even realized

500
00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:29,879
Speaker 3: it yet, probably, But I mean everybody else is seeing it,

501
00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:32,520
Speaker 3: and you're seeing some guys that have played for Washington

502
00:26:32,560 --> 00:26:34,199
Speaker 3: for a long time. Like if you happen to be

503
00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:36,040
Speaker 3: watching right now, you're seeing some of the locker room

504
00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:38,600
Speaker 3: celebration as Jaden Daniels just came into the locker room.

505
00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:42,040
Speaker 3: But I saw Terry McLaurin scary Terry's been one of

506
00:26:42,040 --> 00:26:44,200
Speaker 3: the best receivers in the league for a long time

507
00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:48,440
Speaker 3: and he's had nobody to throw him the football in ages.

508
00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:52,360
Speaker 3: That dude looks like the happiest human being other than

509
00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:55,360
Speaker 3: Donald Trump in the country right now, Like he is

510
00:26:55,760 --> 00:26:59,840
Speaker 3: just over the moon because he has been there through

511
00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:03,000
Speaker 3: the thin of the thin and now he's got the

512
00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:05,320
Speaker 3: thick of the thick, and he's one game away from

513
00:27:05,359 --> 00:27:08,800
Speaker 3: a Super Bowl. And again they know the Eagles. I

514
00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:11,879
Speaker 3: think that right now, if you were to give everybody

515
00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:15,560
Speaker 3: truth serum inside the NFL and say which quarterback scares

516
00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:17,760
Speaker 3: you more, Jay when Hurtzir, Jayden Daniels, I think the

517
00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:20,399
Speaker 3: answer is going to be Jaden Daniels. At this point,

518
00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:23,080
Speaker 3: the Rams look that Rams defense is coming of age,

519
00:27:23,119 --> 00:27:24,800
Speaker 3: and they got some young guys, but they got some

520
00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:27,720
Speaker 3: young studs and you know what Stafford is capable of doing.

521
00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:31,800
Speaker 3: So it's not a cakewalk. But if at this stage

522
00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:34,000
Speaker 3: now that you look at the field and you look

523
00:27:34,040 --> 00:27:37,160
Speaker 3: at everything that is to come, if the Commanders make

524
00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:39,800
Speaker 3: the Super Bowl, I don't think we should be surprised. Now,

525
00:27:40,040 --> 00:27:43,080
Speaker 3: Like if they were to win next week against whoever

526
00:27:43,119 --> 00:27:45,960
Speaker 3: they see, I don't think that should be a giant shock,

527
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:49,000
Speaker 3: it should be a major accomplishment. But I actually think

528
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:51,320
Speaker 3: that they've earned the right for it not to be

529
00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:54,840
Speaker 3: some Oh my goodness, this couldn't possibly have happened, Like,

530
00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:57,720
Speaker 3: yes it can. Like what we saw tonight did not

531
00:27:57,840 --> 00:28:00,439
Speaker 3: feel like a fluke. It felt like a t that

532
00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:04,040
Speaker 3: has arrived faster than anyone anticipated.

533
00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:06,680
Speaker 2: We got two and a half hours to break this down. Still,

534
00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:09,440
Speaker 2: but let's get to the Detroit side, because I will say, well,

535
00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:12,000
Speaker 2: I think the story should be about Jaden Daniels and

536
00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:14,919
Speaker 2: the Washington Commanders. First of all, I'll say this, like,

537
00:28:15,080 --> 00:28:17,520
Speaker 2: I am happy for that organization. I'm happy for those

538
00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:20,720
Speaker 2: fans dealt with a lot of nonsense the last two

539
00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:24,199
Speaker 2: three decades, and you know, you just you hope for

540
00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:26,720
Speaker 2: a moment like this, You hope for a player like

541
00:28:26,800 --> 00:28:29,960
Speaker 2: Jayden Daniels, and you have it. I think there's a

542
00:28:29,960 --> 00:28:31,919
Speaker 2: lot of layers to the Detroit thing, though, And I

543
00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:35,120
Speaker 2: guess the first thing that I would ask, I don't

544
00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:38,720
Speaker 2: even know where to start. I don't even know where

545
00:28:38,720 --> 00:28:42,400
Speaker 2: to start, right, Like, it's like, one, it's just stunning. Two,

546
00:28:42,760 --> 00:28:45,000
Speaker 2: you know, you have two coordinators that we both feel

547
00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:48,280
Speaker 2: like not we both feel but that everybody feels like

548
00:28:48,320 --> 00:28:51,160
Speaker 2: are both going to get head coaching jobs in this

549
00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:56,160
Speaker 2: in this cycle. And I think, as excite, I guess

550
00:28:56,240 --> 00:28:59,320
Speaker 2: this is probably in my opinion, probably the biggest takeaway

551
00:28:59,800 --> 00:29:05,320
Speaker 2: is in my opinion realistically, I think the way that

552
00:29:05,400 --> 00:29:08,720
Speaker 2: I look at it is you always talk j mart

553
00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:12,400
Speaker 2: about windows and sports, and I do wonder if Detroit

554
00:29:12,520 --> 00:29:14,560
Speaker 2: just missed their best window last year. We know what

555
00:29:14,640 --> 00:29:16,920
Speaker 2: happened in San Francisco. If you kick the field goal

556
00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:18,640
Speaker 2: and you make it, it's twenty seven to twenty seven

557
00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:20,800
Speaker 2: with whatever, six seven minutes to go, they don't San

558
00:29:20,840 --> 00:29:23,880
Speaker 2: Francisco immediately scores, that game is over. You're up twenty

559
00:29:23,880 --> 00:29:26,960
Speaker 2: four to seven at the half. Now you have a

560
00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:30,040
Speaker 2: team that has been, you know, incredibly well put together

561
00:29:30,080 --> 00:29:32,960
Speaker 2: by Brad Holmes, but a lot of those guys are

562
00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:35,560
Speaker 2: coming off of rookie contracts. In the next year or two,

563
00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:40,080
Speaker 2: they're gonna start to get paid. You're almost certainly gonna

564
00:29:40,120 --> 00:29:43,280
Speaker 2: lose probably both coordinator, certainly at least one. But I

565
00:29:43,280 --> 00:29:46,360
Speaker 2: would have guessed probably both. And I do just wonder, man,

566
00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:50,040
Speaker 2: I do just look at this team and say, fourteen

567
00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:55,400
Speaker 2: and one, excuse me, sixteen and one at home home

568
00:29:55,400 --> 00:29:57,680
Speaker 2: field advantage because this was the big conversation, right, I mean.

569
00:29:57,560 --> 00:30:00,560
Speaker 3: I'm entertaining two actually right, Oh.

570
00:30:00,480 --> 00:30:02,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, because they lost the final week, final week

571
00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:05,360
Speaker 2: of the regular season. But I remember talking to Bernie

572
00:30:05,360 --> 00:30:08,960
Speaker 2: Fratto about this in August, because Bernie's the big Detroit guy,

573
00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:10,960
Speaker 2: he covered the team for years, and he said, Man,

574
00:30:11,360 --> 00:30:14,200
Speaker 2: the thing that I worry about with that team, they

575
00:30:14,320 --> 00:30:16,760
Speaker 2: need home field advantage, They need the game in a dome,

576
00:30:16,920 --> 00:30:19,200
Speaker 2: and if they don't get it, what's gonna happen. So

577
00:30:19,520 --> 00:30:21,800
Speaker 2: I just bring it up because a lot of guys

578
00:30:21,880 --> 00:30:24,400
Speaker 2: coming off rickey contracts, A lot of guys have already

579
00:30:24,520 --> 00:30:26,680
Speaker 2: signed those extensions, even if they haven't kicked in yet.

580
00:30:26,720 --> 00:30:29,120
Speaker 2: But you're gonna have to make tough decisions. You could

581
00:30:29,240 --> 00:30:32,560
Speaker 2: and almost certainly will lose both coordinators you had. Home

582
00:30:32,640 --> 00:30:36,200
Speaker 2: field advantage just feels like a really really, really tough,

583
00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:38,000
Speaker 2: tough situation for the Lions.

584
00:30:38,160 --> 00:30:42,040
Speaker 3: It's tough. Yeah, I mean, you're probably gonna lose both coordinators,

585
00:30:42,120 --> 00:30:44,800
Speaker 3: as we both thought, and what the rest of the

586
00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:47,360
Speaker 3: league and everything else, And that always becomes the talking

587
00:30:47,400 --> 00:30:49,760
Speaker 3: point when the team loses, because you start to wonder

588
00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:52,880
Speaker 3: there will be talk I guarantee you on Detroit Sports

589
00:30:52,920 --> 00:30:55,760
Speaker 3: Talk this week that Ben Johnson and Aaron glam were

590
00:30:55,760 --> 00:30:59,280
Speaker 3: already looking towards the next job that happens. It happened

591
00:30:59,320 --> 00:31:01,200
Speaker 3: with the Titans when they lost in that first round

592
00:31:01,240 --> 00:31:04,240
Speaker 3: against the Cincinnati Bengals years ago, when they were a

593
00:31:04,360 --> 00:31:06,800
Speaker 3: number one seed on this kind of a Saturday in

594
00:31:06,960 --> 00:31:11,560
Speaker 3: January and managed to lose that game on a field goal.

595
00:31:11,640 --> 00:31:13,520
Speaker 3: At the end, it was all about, well, these guys

596
00:31:13,560 --> 00:31:15,160
Speaker 3: are looking to the future and all this stuff, and

597
00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:18,360
Speaker 3: that's going to happen again. Like let's say the Eagles

598
00:31:18,400 --> 00:31:21,000
Speaker 3: lose tomorrow, Well, Philadelphia is in their offense looks bad. Well,

599
00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:23,840
Speaker 3: then it's going to be about Kellen Moore and his

600
00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:27,120
Speaker 3: possibility of ending up in Dallas and all this. Washington

601
00:31:27,120 --> 00:31:29,320
Speaker 3: didn't have that problem, Like Kingsbury's been mentioned a couple

602
00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:32,440
Speaker 3: of times, but he's not like a red hot candidate

603
00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:35,400
Speaker 3: like you look at, for instance, a Kellen Moore or

604
00:31:35,440 --> 00:31:37,680
Speaker 3: a Todd Monkin, who came out this weekend said the

605
00:31:37,760 --> 00:31:40,920
Speaker 3: timing on all these interviews is yeah, yeah, yeah, sorry

606
00:31:41,760 --> 00:31:44,320
Speaker 3: that yeah. And Joe Brady's another example. It's just like

607
00:31:44,760 --> 00:31:48,640
Speaker 3: these are guys that are kind of having to play

608
00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:51,520
Speaker 3: two hats, because there's the jobs are open now and

609
00:31:51,600 --> 00:31:53,760
Speaker 3: these teams want to try and fill these vacancy so

610
00:31:53,920 --> 00:31:55,960
Speaker 3: they can get to their offseason planning, get ready for

611
00:31:56,040 --> 00:32:00,440
Speaker 3: the draft, all of these kinds of things, and it

612
00:32:00,560 --> 00:32:02,960
Speaker 3: all has to be done in kind of a tight timetable.

613
00:32:03,360 --> 00:32:05,600
Speaker 3: So the fact that the Lions have two coordinators that

614
00:32:05,680 --> 00:32:07,760
Speaker 3: are likely not going to be there next year, this

615
00:32:07,960 --> 00:32:11,440
Speaker 3: does feel a little bit to me like the Eagles

616
00:32:11,520 --> 00:32:15,560
Speaker 3: losing the Super Bowl to the Chiefs and then losing

617
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:19,840
Speaker 3: one coach to Arizona, one coach to Indianapolis and coming

618
00:32:19,920 --> 00:32:22,920
Speaker 3: back and taking what was an obvious step back and

619
00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:25,120
Speaker 3: then bringing in Kellen Moore this year and kind of

620
00:32:25,200 --> 00:32:28,560
Speaker 3: finding that groove. But also along with Kellen Moore, you

621
00:32:28,680 --> 00:32:32,240
Speaker 3: also bring in Sakuon Barkley and that made a gigantic deal.

622
00:32:32,400 --> 00:32:34,920
Speaker 3: So you know, you talk about the rookie contracts and

623
00:32:34,960 --> 00:32:40,560
Speaker 3: all this, I mean situation for the Washington Commanders, they

624
00:32:40,720 --> 00:32:44,960
Speaker 3: have a quarterback that is the guy we can already

625
00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:47,920
Speaker 3: see that who is on a rookie deal, similar to

626
00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:48,800
Speaker 3: what the Texans did.

627
00:32:48,880 --> 00:32:49,000
Speaker 7: Now.

628
00:32:49,040 --> 00:32:51,560
Speaker 3: Stroud didn't have a great year this year. He dealt

629
00:32:51,600 --> 00:32:53,760
Speaker 3: with some injuries, certainly to a lot of his offense,

630
00:32:54,320 --> 00:32:57,000
Speaker 3: but maybe regressed a bit, but you know, I still

631
00:32:57,000 --> 00:32:58,640
Speaker 3: think he found himself a little at the end of

632
00:32:58,680 --> 00:33:00,800
Speaker 3: the season. But you have to take advantage of these

633
00:33:00,880 --> 00:33:04,280
Speaker 3: rookie windows, and you actually have that now. And when

634
00:33:04,320 --> 00:33:06,600
Speaker 3: you said I talk a lot about windows, I talk

635
00:33:06,680 --> 00:33:09,360
Speaker 3: about them in terms of them not existing. That if

636
00:33:09,400 --> 00:33:12,080
Speaker 3: you don't win now, you can't say, oh, we're definitely

637
00:33:12,080 --> 00:33:14,400
Speaker 3: gonna be back for the next five years, because a

638
00:33:14,480 --> 00:33:16,240
Speaker 3: lot of teams and a lot of groups that you

639
00:33:16,440 --> 00:33:21,080
Speaker 3: think are just built for that aren't. And the Lions

640
00:33:21,120 --> 00:33:23,040
Speaker 3: may be one of those cases. They may have already

641
00:33:23,120 --> 00:33:25,640
Speaker 3: had their best shot, they may have had their only shot.

642
00:33:25,720 --> 00:33:28,680
Speaker 3: I'm not saying that, but Dan Campbell's probably gonna have

643
00:33:28,720 --> 00:33:32,240
Speaker 3: to build a completely new staff, and he's certainly gonna

644
00:33:32,280 --> 00:33:35,000
Speaker 3: lose some guys, and we're gonna see exactly what they're

645
00:33:35,040 --> 00:33:35,840
Speaker 3: made of next year.

646
00:33:36,440 --> 00:33:38,440
Speaker 2: We will see what they're made of next year, and

647
00:33:38,520 --> 00:33:40,840
Speaker 2: there will be a lot of discussion going forward. This

648
00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:43,880
Speaker 2: is Fox Sports Radio ERN towards Jason Martin. We're taking

649
00:33:43,920 --> 00:33:45,920
Speaker 2: the up till two am Eastern, so we'll come back,

650
00:33:45,960 --> 00:33:47,920
Speaker 2: We'll get to some of your calls, we will get

651
00:33:47,960 --> 00:33:52,400
Speaker 2: to more reaction as the Washington Commanders have pulled off

652
00:33:52,480 --> 00:33:56,560
Speaker 2: the stunner. They go to Detroit in the opening game

653
00:33:57,000 --> 00:33:59,760
Speaker 2: for the Detroit Lions of these playoffs and beat the

654
00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:04,240
Speaker 2: Troit Lions. Washington Commanders advance to the NFC Championship Game.

655
00:34:04,640 --> 00:34:06,960
Speaker 2: More reaction plus. Of course, we have to get to

656
00:34:07,040 --> 00:34:09,600
Speaker 2: the early game. We have to preview the two games

657
00:34:09,640 --> 00:34:12,040
Speaker 2: on Sunday. We got to talk about the coaching carousel,

658
00:34:12,320 --> 00:34:14,920
Speaker 2: and oh there's a college football playoff game still to come.

659
00:34:15,040 --> 00:34:17,879
Speaker 2: So we got a lot to get to, Jamart, got

660
00:34:17,920 --> 00:34:20,120
Speaker 2: a lot to get to. We'll come back. We'll continue

661
00:34:20,160 --> 00:34:23,680
Speaker 2: the conversation Detroit, Washington and the rest of a wild

662
00:34:24,040 --> 00:34:27,000
Speaker 2: couple days in football. This is Fox Sports Radio.

663
00:34:29,600 --> 00:34:32,319
Speaker 1: You're listening to Fox Sports Radio Radio.

664
00:34:32,920 --> 00:34:36,839
Speaker 2: Welcome back, everybody. Fox Sports Radio er Tors Jason Martin,

Speaker 2: broadcasting live fromtheti iraq dot com studios. By the way,

666
00:34:42,520 --> 00:34:44,160
Speaker 2: if you want to call into the show one eight

667
00:34:44,239 --> 00:34:46,600
Speaker 2: seven seven ninety nine on Fox one eight seven seven

668
00:34:47,320 --> 00:34:50,520
Speaker 2: six six three six nine. We're on until two am Eastern,

669
00:34:50,600 --> 00:34:52,080
Speaker 2: so we're gonna take some of your calls here. In

670
00:34:52,160 --> 00:34:54,840
Speaker 2: just a minute, Jymart, I do have a question for you.

671
00:34:55,560 --> 00:34:59,480
Speaker 2: Uh and I'm curious for your perspective. You talked about, well,

672
00:34:59,560 --> 00:35:02,120
Speaker 2: we both we talked about kind of the coordinators, what

673
00:35:02,320 --> 00:35:05,040
Speaker 2: their futures are, of course Ben Johnson and Aaron Glenn,

674
00:35:05,960 --> 00:35:08,359
Speaker 2: and you kind of talked about the idea of will

675
00:35:08,400 --> 00:35:11,960
Speaker 2: there be blame for this loss? That they were maybe

676
00:35:11,960 --> 00:35:13,960
Speaker 2: a little bit distracted with some of the interview process,

677
00:35:14,080 --> 00:35:16,279
Speaker 2: et cetera. Let me let me kind of flip it

678
00:35:16,360 --> 00:35:19,160
Speaker 2: on its head and go the exact opposite route. Do

679
00:35:19,320 --> 00:35:21,880
Speaker 2: you think in your eyes this is you know, just

680
00:35:21,960 --> 00:35:25,680
Speaker 2: your opinion, but do you think anyone do you think

681
00:35:26,320 --> 00:35:29,879
Speaker 2: either of these guys should be second guest about their

682
00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:34,160
Speaker 2: their coaching candidacy. I mean, you know, Ben Ben Johnson called,

683
00:35:34,280 --> 00:35:37,040
Speaker 2: you know listed you know, he's so into it, so

684
00:35:37,160 --> 00:35:40,080
Speaker 2: into the creativity, and when it works, it looks great.

685
00:35:40,200 --> 00:35:42,440
Speaker 2: But when it doesn't, you have Jamison Williams throwing an

686
00:35:42,440 --> 00:35:45,439
Speaker 2: interception at the worst possible time, and of course Aaron

687
00:35:45,480 --> 00:35:48,239
Speaker 2: Glenn's defense gave up forty five points in this game.

688
00:35:48,280 --> 00:35:50,239
Speaker 2: I guess thirty eight if you take away the pick

689
00:35:50,320 --> 00:35:52,919
Speaker 2: six that Jared Goff throw. Should either of these guys

690
00:35:52,920 --> 00:35:57,360
Speaker 2: should we be reconsidering them as head coaching candidates or

691
00:35:57,440 --> 00:35:58,600
Speaker 2: is that just part of the deal here.

692
00:36:00,120 --> 00:36:03,440
Speaker 3: I think it is very knee jerk and very social

693
00:36:03,560 --> 00:36:08,200
Speaker 3: media age or comment board ye to start second guessing

694
00:36:08,280 --> 00:36:12,520
Speaker 3: guys because they had a bad night, Like, I don't

695
00:36:12,560 --> 00:36:15,799
Speaker 3: think that if you thought Ben Johnson was a mad

696
00:36:15,960 --> 00:36:19,000
Speaker 3: scientist genius before tonight, that all of a sudden he's

697
00:36:19,080 --> 00:36:23,839
Speaker 3: not one. Now. Maybe you overvalued him then, but even there,

698
00:36:24,080 --> 00:36:27,800
Speaker 3: like the stuff that he's capable of, he's still capable of.

699
00:36:28,640 --> 00:36:30,919
Speaker 3: When you get to this level, it's one and done

700
00:36:31,160 --> 00:36:33,879
Speaker 3: deal here. It's not best four of seven. You get

701
00:36:33,960 --> 00:36:36,120
Speaker 3: one shot. And he had a bad night and they

702
00:36:36,160 --> 00:36:38,640
Speaker 3: had a good game plan against him and Jaden Daniels

703
00:36:38,840 --> 00:36:42,000
Speaker 3: was I think jayde and Daniels shook everybody, and then

704
00:36:42,000 --> 00:36:44,160
Speaker 3: all of a sudden the Lions were trying to grip

705
00:36:44,239 --> 00:36:46,319
Speaker 3: and maybe do too much, and as we talked about,

706
00:36:46,360 --> 00:36:49,320
Speaker 3: they got away from what they've done throughout the season

707
00:36:49,840 --> 00:36:53,520
Speaker 3: and put themselves in risk situations as opposed to continuing

708
00:36:53,600 --> 00:36:55,719
Speaker 3: to feed the rock to Jamir Gibbs, who was just

709
00:36:55,920 --> 00:36:59,400
Speaker 3: tearing it up when he was given a chance to shine.

710
00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:03,200
Speaker 3: Can he look at Aaron Glenn like, if you want

711
00:37:03,239 --> 00:37:06,800
Speaker 3: to give Aaron Glenn a little bit more leeway? He

712
00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:10,040
Speaker 3: was dealing with more than half his starters, maybe even

713
00:37:10,080 --> 00:37:12,520
Speaker 3: three quarters of his starters not available for him. Like,

714
00:37:12,640 --> 00:37:15,080
Speaker 3: he just kept on losing guys. Some people would say

715
00:37:15,080 --> 00:37:17,799
Speaker 3: he was fielding almost a practice squad defense out there

716
00:37:18,320 --> 00:37:20,800
Speaker 3: compared to what he had at the beginning of the season.

717
00:37:20,880 --> 00:37:23,600
Speaker 3: And it's it's not that you. I mean, you have

718
00:37:23,680 --> 00:37:24,880
Speaker 3: to be able to do it with who you have.

719
00:37:25,120 --> 00:37:28,080
Speaker 3: But he kept losing guys all year long, and he

720
00:37:28,239 --> 00:37:31,359
Speaker 3: was losing critical guys in critical spots. Their secondary got

721
00:37:31,440 --> 00:37:36,040
Speaker 3: absolutely obliterated by injury. Of course, we know about Hutchinson

722
00:37:36,080 --> 00:37:38,279
Speaker 3: and we know what was even happening with the linebacking court.

723
00:37:38,360 --> 00:37:40,800
Speaker 3: Angelone just came back at the end of the season.

724
00:37:41,239 --> 00:37:45,520
Speaker 3: But I just think if you were looking, if you're

725
00:37:45,560 --> 00:37:49,080
Speaker 3: an NFL executive and you look at one game and say,

726
00:37:49,160 --> 00:37:51,560
Speaker 3: I don't know about this guy, then you probably shouldn't

727
00:37:51,560 --> 00:37:55,120
Speaker 3: be in that job. You can't be that reactionary to

728
00:37:55,200 --> 00:37:57,839
Speaker 3: one performance. You just can't because you're gonna miss out

729
00:37:57,920 --> 00:38:00,320
Speaker 3: on a lot of really talented people. Because there is

730
00:38:00,480 --> 00:38:03,960
Speaker 3: nobody ever to play or coach or do something in

731
00:38:04,080 --> 00:38:06,799
Speaker 3: sports at a high level that hasn't had a really

732
00:38:06,880 --> 00:38:12,520
Speaker 3: bad night. And unfortunately in sports Oftentimes that bad night

733
00:38:12,640 --> 00:38:15,759
Speaker 3: happens in the playoffs and that's the lasting impression. So

734
00:38:15,880 --> 00:38:17,799
Speaker 3: then it makes it feel like you went to bed

735
00:38:17,840 --> 00:38:20,960
Speaker 3: without brushing your teeth and you realize, yeah, ah, it's

736
00:38:21,040 --> 00:38:22,880
Speaker 3: kind of an ugly taste in my mouth right now.

737
00:38:23,560 --> 00:38:25,239
Speaker 3: I just think you have to be a little bit

738
00:38:25,280 --> 00:38:28,279
Speaker 3: more patient, a little bit more reserved, and you have

739
00:38:28,400 --> 00:38:30,920
Speaker 3: to know, like they've done way too much vetting on

740
00:38:31,080 --> 00:38:34,480
Speaker 3: these guys to look at one performance and say, oh, well,

741
00:38:34,520 --> 00:38:36,640
Speaker 3: we can't hire that guy, Like, I think that's insane.

742
00:38:36,719 --> 00:38:39,560
Speaker 3: The same stuff was being said about Brian Flores after

743
00:38:39,640 --> 00:38:42,440
Speaker 3: the Vikings defense performance on Monday night. It's like, if

744
00:38:42,480 --> 00:38:46,479
Speaker 3: you liked Brian Flores before Monday night, hopefully one bad

745
00:38:46,680 --> 00:38:49,919
Speaker 3: night where the guy who you might not like also

746
00:38:50,200 --> 00:38:52,920
Speaker 3: wasn't the guy on the field making the mistake in

747
00:38:53,040 --> 00:38:55,080
Speaker 3: some cases, like there were twelve men on the field

748
00:38:55,719 --> 00:38:58,240
Speaker 3: late in the game for Detroit in a key spot.

749
00:38:58,680 --> 00:39:01,359
Speaker 3: That was just a horrible stake by the defense. Right,

750
00:39:02,080 --> 00:39:05,359
Speaker 3: that shouldn't just disqualify Aaron Glenn, Like he's not all

751
00:39:05,360 --> 00:39:08,400
Speaker 3: of a sudden a moron because of that one penalty.

752
00:39:08,760 --> 00:39:10,879
Speaker 3: But I think that we live in such a reactionary

753
00:39:10,920 --> 00:39:12,120
Speaker 3: age that that's what's happened.

754
00:39:12,960 --> 00:39:16,279
Speaker 2: The best example of why you probably shouldn't overreact to

755
00:39:16,480 --> 00:39:19,239
Speaker 2: a bad playoff performance by a candidate for a head

756
00:39:19,280 --> 00:39:22,279
Speaker 2: coaching job at a coordinator position. It was on the

757
00:39:22,320 --> 00:39:24,480
Speaker 2: other sideline tonight. You remember last time Dan Quinn wore

758
00:39:24,520 --> 00:39:28,520
Speaker 2: a Cowboys hat, jmut Away his defense gave up forty

759
00:39:28,560 --> 00:39:31,839
Speaker 2: eight to the Green Bay Packers last year, and listen,

760
00:39:31,920 --> 00:39:33,960
Speaker 2: I was the dummy that went on air and said, hey,

761
00:39:34,040 --> 00:39:36,400
Speaker 2: maybe he should be maybe we should be reconsidering him

762
00:39:36,400 --> 00:39:38,879
Speaker 2: as him as a head coach. I think it's safe

763
00:39:38,920 --> 00:39:41,239
Speaker 2: to say that he is doing just fine. As the

764
00:39:41,480 --> 00:39:45,399
Speaker 2: Washington Commanders do win in Detroit final score forty five

765
00:39:45,520 --> 00:39:48,040
Speaker 2: thirty one. They are headed to the NFC Championship game.

766
00:39:48,280 --> 00:39:51,160
Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio air towards Jason Martin. We are broadcasting

767
00:39:51,239 --> 00:39:54,480
Speaker 2: live from the Tyreck dot Com studios Dean and Michigan.

768
00:39:54,640 --> 00:39:57,200
Speaker 2: Stay on the phone. We will get to top of

769
00:39:57,239 --> 00:39:59,040
Speaker 2: the next hour. We're gonna take your calls.

770
00:39:59,239 --> 00:39:59,880
Speaker 3: More reaction.

771
00:40:00,520 --> 00:40:03,800

Speaker 2: have our phone lines are jam packed. I want to

796
00:41:22,680 --> 00:41:25,560
Speaker 2: get to a couple of callers. But any any thoughts here?

797
00:41:25,719 --> 00:41:29,200
Speaker 2: As the Detroit Lions have been eliminated final score forty

798
00:41:29,280 --> 00:41:32,279

Speaker 2: and ninety nine yards passing excuse me, two touchdowns, also

801
00:41:38,120 --> 00:41:41,120
Speaker 2: had fifty one yards rushing, and the forty five points

802
00:41:41,200 --> 00:41:45,080
Speaker 2: the Commanders put up, but also the Lions being eliminated

803
00:41:45,120 --> 00:41:48,759
Speaker 2: as the number one seed in the NFC. Jared Goff

804
00:41:48,960 --> 00:41:53,000
Speaker 2: with three interceptions one pick six, one in the final

805
00:41:53,120 --> 00:41:55,239
Speaker 2: seconds when they were in the red zone with a

806
00:41:55,360 --> 00:41:58,520
Speaker 2: chance to potentially stay in the game. Any any quick

807
00:41:58,600 --> 00:42:00,360
Speaker 2: thoughts here before we get to some of the that

808
00:42:00,440 --> 00:42:01,560
Speaker 2: have been staying on the line.

809
00:42:01,400 --> 00:42:03,800
Speaker 3: Here, only that during the break, I was listening to

810
00:42:03,960 --> 00:42:06,759
Speaker 3: Dan Campbell as he came up to the podium to

811
00:42:06,800 --> 00:42:10,879
Speaker 3: do his post game. He is devastated, like I don't

812
00:42:10,960 --> 00:42:13,800
Speaker 3: know that I've ever seen Dan Campbell sad like this,

813
00:42:14,880 --> 00:42:17,319
Speaker 3: like so sad. And the first question when he first say,

814
00:42:17,320 --> 00:42:19,120
Speaker 3: he's just like we didn't play well enough. We just

815
00:42:19,239 --> 00:42:21,200
Speaker 3: we didn't play together tonight and all this, but it

816
00:42:21,320 --> 00:42:24,160
Speaker 3: looked like looked like he was fighting back tears almost.

817
00:42:24,840 --> 00:42:28,280
Speaker 3: But he was asked like the first question was about

818
00:42:28,360 --> 00:42:30,919
Speaker 3: what a great season. He's just like, I can't even

819
00:42:30,960 --> 00:42:32,920
Speaker 3: talk to the guys like that. He's like, because none

820
00:42:32,960 --> 00:42:36,320
Speaker 3: of us feel that way. He said, you know, I

821
00:42:36,480 --> 00:42:39,080
Speaker 3: love those guys, but this is just is not the

822
00:42:39,200 --> 00:42:41,120
Speaker 3: time to talk about what kind of good season we

823
00:42:41,320 --> 00:42:43,520
Speaker 3: had and all this kind of like he's not even

824
00:42:43,640 --> 00:42:46,040
Speaker 3: listening to any of that. He looked like a guy

825
00:42:46,080 --> 00:42:51,680
Speaker 3: who knows what a great shot they had, yep, and understands.

826
00:42:51,920 --> 00:42:53,480
Speaker 3: And he even said, he goes, it doesn't matter if

827
00:42:53,480 --> 00:42:55,719
Speaker 3: he was seven seed to six seed to five seed.

828
00:42:55,800 --> 00:42:59,239
Speaker 3: The one seed I've lost in all of them, he said,

829
00:42:59,440 --> 00:43:02,520
Speaker 3: and he said, and he said, and it hurts, It hurts,

830
00:43:02,640 --> 00:43:07,200
Speaker 3: It stings, and it stays with you. And it's a

831
00:43:07,239 --> 00:43:09,520
Speaker 3: guy that just looking on his face, it's just like

832
00:43:10,120 --> 00:43:11,759
Speaker 3: we're never gonna have a better look at it than

833
00:43:11,800 --> 00:43:15,880
Speaker 3: maybe we just did. And it's tough. It's tough to

834
00:43:15,920 --> 00:43:19,279
Speaker 3: watch that. Like he was very raw and emotional in

835
00:43:20,080 --> 00:43:21,640
Speaker 3: all of those things. Of course, he said a lot

836
00:43:21,680 --> 00:43:24,840
Speaker 3: of stuff nicely about the commanders, but you know, he

837
00:43:24,960 --> 00:43:28,120
Speaker 3: talked about the turnovers and all of these kinds of things.

838
00:43:28,200 --> 00:43:30,000
Speaker 3: He even said he's just like everything was just a

839
00:43:30,080 --> 00:43:31,960
Speaker 3: little bit off. He's like it was just one of

840
00:43:32,040 --> 00:43:34,640
Speaker 3: those weird days. And I think all of that is accurate.

841
00:43:35,719 --> 00:43:38,520
Speaker 3: But it just shows again all these people. You can

842
00:43:38,600 --> 00:43:41,239
Speaker 3: talk about windows all you want, don't talk to Dan

843
00:43:41,360 --> 00:43:46,080
Speaker 3: Campbell about windows. And there's many stories throughout history that

844
00:43:46,200 --> 00:43:49,239
Speaker 3: will indicate, Yeah, you can say all you want, Oh,

845
00:43:49,320 --> 00:43:52,600
Speaker 3: they'll be back, but no one knows if you're ever

846
00:43:52,680 --> 00:43:54,080
Speaker 3: going to have a better look at it than you

847
00:43:54,320 --> 00:43:57,040
Speaker 3: just did. And you can look at his face and

848
00:43:57,360 --> 00:43:59,520
Speaker 3: listen to what he had to say, and no, right

849
00:43:59,600 --> 00:44:03,879
Speaker 3: there they realize that they just blew a golden opportunity.

850
00:44:04,360 --> 00:44:06,600
Speaker 2: Well, it's a disappointing night for the Detroit Lions, but

851
00:44:06,680 --> 00:44:10,480
Speaker 2: it is an incredible night for the Washington Commanders organization.

852
00:44:10,760 --> 00:44:13,720
Speaker 2: And joining us now, we have a very special guest

853
00:44:15,800 --> 00:44:22,800
Speaker 2: from the Washington Commanders. Jeremy McNichols is joining us now. Jeremy,

Speaker 3: Jeremy, you know, I do my part of this show

868
00:44:54,200 --> 00:44:57,080
Speaker 3: out of Nashville, and I covered you day after day

869
00:44:57,280 --> 00:44:59,279
Speaker 3: when you were here with the Tennessee Titans, and I

870
00:44:59,360 --> 00:45:02,600
Speaker 3: saw you in the playoffs. You're a guy that's been

871
00:45:02,640 --> 00:45:05,160
Speaker 3: around the block a little bit. But you guys are

872
00:45:05,200 --> 00:45:08,400
Speaker 3: one win away from a super Bowl with a rookie

873
00:45:08,480 --> 00:45:10,640
Speaker 3: quarterback that looks like he's been in the league for

874
00:45:10,719 --> 00:45:13,319
Speaker 3: ten years. What can you say about your quarterback at

875
00:45:13,360 --> 00:45:13,799
Speaker 3: this point?

876
00:45:14,600 --> 00:45:17,600
Speaker 7: I mean, just on display every single weekday in and

877
00:45:17,760 --> 00:45:20,319
Speaker 7: day out, and once he put in his building when

878
00:45:20,320 --> 00:45:22,680
Speaker 7: he got drafted here, we knew it, you know, and

879
00:45:23,120 --> 00:45:25,839
Speaker 7: it's just amazing to see him just a humble kid,

880
00:45:25,960 --> 00:45:29,960
Speaker 7: you know, faithful man, and just go out there every

881
00:45:30,000 --> 00:45:32,919
Speaker 7: single weekend, put the team on his on his back

882
00:45:33,000 --> 00:45:35,880
Speaker 7: when it needs to happen and lead us to the victory.

883
00:45:37,040 --> 00:45:39,279
Speaker 7: I'm so excited for him and so excited for his

884
00:45:39,400 --> 00:45:40,280
Speaker 7: future in his career.

885
00:45:40,920 --> 00:45:45,160
Speaker 2: Jeremy Jeremy McNichols joining US Washington Commander's running back who

886
00:45:45,160 --> 00:45:47,440
Speaker 2: of course Washington has scored a touchdown tonight as the

887
00:45:47,520 --> 00:45:51,920
Speaker 2: Commanders win forty five to twenty eight in Detroit. Jason

888
00:45:52,040 --> 00:45:54,880
Speaker 2: just asked you about your rookie quarterback, what about your

889
00:45:54,920 --> 00:45:56,520
Speaker 2: head coach? I mean, first of all, let me ask

890
00:45:56,560 --> 00:46:00,560
Speaker 2: you this Dan Quinn backwards hat. You know, like, what

891
00:46:00,800 --> 00:46:03,360
Speaker 2: is that guy like day to day because it feels like,

892
00:46:04,520 --> 00:46:06,440
Speaker 2: you know, can be stern when it needs to be,

893
00:46:06,640 --> 00:46:10,719
Speaker 2: but guys like him, but empowers his assistant coaches, and

894
00:46:11,000 --> 00:46:12,920
Speaker 2: he just seems like a guy that everybody would want

895
00:46:12,960 --> 00:46:13,279
Speaker 2: to play for.

896
00:46:14,200 --> 00:46:17,000
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean for his president. He's not much that

897
00:46:17,120 --> 00:46:19,359
Speaker 7: needs to be said. He's done it for a long

898
00:46:19,440 --> 00:46:22,560
Speaker 7: time in this league, got a successful and successful and

899
00:46:23,080 --> 00:46:25,160
Speaker 7: you know, all these guys in the locker room don't

900
00:46:25,200 --> 00:46:27,120
Speaker 7: want to run to a wall for him. I mean,

901
00:46:28,040 --> 00:46:30,440
Speaker 7: he show he shows the players love, He shows us love,

902
00:46:30,520 --> 00:46:33,239
Speaker 7: and he loves his game. And that's what we got

903
00:46:33,360 --> 00:46:36,239
Speaker 7: to get back to him. So that's we love our coach.

904
00:46:37,800 --> 00:46:40,160
Speaker 7: He's one of the best in the league, so we're

905
00:46:40,200 --> 00:46:42,279
Speaker 7: gonna give it all for him every single week.

906
00:46:43,520 --> 00:46:49,480
Speaker 3: Jeremy, you know, look at guys like Terry McLaurin, Brian Robinson, yourself,

907
00:46:49,600 --> 00:46:52,720
Speaker 3: certainly Austin Eckler. One thing I noticed about your offense

908
00:46:52,840 --> 00:46:55,000
Speaker 3: is it doesn't seem to matter who it is that's

909
00:46:55,080 --> 00:46:57,719
Speaker 3: doing the work, as long as the work is getting done.

910
00:46:58,000 --> 00:47:01,360
Speaker 3: Like you are three running backs, some guys that you

911
00:47:01,440 --> 00:47:03,719
Speaker 3: know you want to carry the carry the load, but

912
00:47:03,800 --> 00:47:06,839
Speaker 3: you've got no problem watching those other guys succeed. Does

913
00:47:06,880 --> 00:47:09,160
Speaker 3: it feel kind of like a selfless offense in that

914
00:47:09,280 --> 00:47:11,280
Speaker 3: way where you're all just kind of in it together

915
00:47:11,400 --> 00:47:13,919
Speaker 3: and there's not really any kind of a diva factor there.

916
00:47:14,680 --> 00:47:14,879
Speaker 8: Yeah.

917
00:47:14,920 --> 00:47:16,880
Speaker 7: I mean, like you said, it's no this year.

918
00:47:16,960 --> 00:47:17,520
Speaker 3: We're brothers.

919
00:47:18,400 --> 00:47:21,440
Speaker 7: Everybody has a role, and everybody masters in their role.

920
00:47:21,800 --> 00:47:25,480
Speaker 7: Everybody respect their roles, and whenever your number is called,

921
00:47:26,280 --> 00:47:27,920
Speaker 7: that's what we got to go out there and execute.

922
00:47:28,200 --> 00:47:30,400
Speaker 7: And that's been like that since day once. And I

923
00:47:30,560 --> 00:47:33,879
Speaker 7: just believe everybody on this roster, from top down practice squad,

924
00:47:33,920 --> 00:47:36,880
Speaker 7: whoever gets called up, whoever gets signed in this building,

925
00:47:37,000 --> 00:47:39,040
Speaker 7: is on the same page with that, and we respect

926
00:47:39,080 --> 00:47:41,640
Speaker 7: each other and all we want to do is win.

927
00:47:41,760 --> 00:47:44,800
Speaker 7: So whoever's out there, they're going to execute and we

928
00:47:44,920 --> 00:47:47,239
Speaker 7: believe that they're going to execute it because we do

929
00:47:47,400 --> 00:47:50,680
Speaker 7: it from you know, Monday till Saturday. That preparation is

930
00:47:51,360 --> 00:47:53,800
Speaker 7: done and that trust is there between the teammates and

931
00:47:53,880 --> 00:47:56,680
Speaker 7: the coaches when we go out there and you see

932
00:47:56,719 --> 00:47:57,480
Speaker 7: it up, you.

933
00:47:57,520 --> 00:47:58,200

00:47:59,080 --> 00:48:02,360
Speaker 2: Jeremy McNichols joining us Fox Sports Radio last one for me, Jeremy.

Speaker 2: And if you do, do you watch as a as

941
00:48:14,239 --> 00:48:16,960
Speaker 2: a fan? Do you watch as an upcoming opponent? Like

942
00:48:17,080 --> 00:48:20,560
Speaker 2: how will Jeremy McNichols take in Eagles Rams, assuming of

943
00:48:20,600 --> 00:48:21,360

946
00:48:29,400 --> 00:48:33,399
Speaker 9: and then watching tomorrow's game between Philly in LA.

947
00:48:34,480 --> 00:48:37,760
Speaker 7: You know, I'll be watching it like like film. Honestly,

948
00:48:37,960 --> 00:48:41,719
Speaker 7: whichever team we play, we'll be ready for and win

949
00:48:41,800 --> 00:48:44,520
Speaker 7: to practice throughout the week and prepare, and we'll be

950
00:48:44,600 --> 00:48:46,080
Speaker 7: ready for him the following a week.

951
00:48:47,239 --> 00:48:51,760
Speaker 2: That is Jeremy McNichols running back for the Washington Commandies.

952
00:48:51,760 --> 00:48:54,120
Speaker 2: I do actually have one more question. See her from

953
00:48:54,200 --> 00:48:57,800
Speaker 2: Rancho Santa Margarita, California. If you guys play the Rams

954
00:48:57,840 --> 00:49:00,480
Speaker 2: in the NFC Championship game, how many gets you think

955
00:49:00,560 --> 00:49:02,239
Speaker 2: Jeremy McNichols is going to need for that game?

956
00:49:02,840 --> 00:49:04,640
Speaker 3: Oh man, A lot, a lot, a lot.

957
00:49:06,000 --> 00:49:09,320
Speaker 7: But it'd be so cool just coming back home and

958
00:49:09,640 --> 00:49:13,320
Speaker 7: playing in front of the home crowd. You know, it's

959
00:49:13,360 --> 00:49:17,719
Speaker 7: so much love and support, just being raised from there

960
00:49:17,800 --> 00:49:20,840
Speaker 7: and growing up there and just having so many teammates

961
00:49:20,920 --> 00:49:23,520
Speaker 7: and friends and family out there. It'd be awesome.

962
00:49:24,280 --> 00:49:27,040
Speaker 2: That is Jeremy McNichols. Man, We thank you so much

963
00:49:27,080 --> 00:49:29,239
Speaker 2: for your time. We know it's a crazy night. The

964
00:49:29,400 --> 00:49:32,920
Speaker 2: locker room sounds awesome. Jeremy McNichols live from the Commander's

965
00:49:33,239 --> 00:49:35,640
Speaker 2: locker room. Jeremy, congrats on the win.

966
00:49:36,040 --> 00:49:36,440
Speaker 3: Enjoy it.

967
00:49:36,520 --> 00:49:38,600
Speaker 2: I know they give you twenty four hours to enjoy it,

968
00:49:38,719 --> 00:49:39,360
Speaker 2: so enjoy it.

969
00:49:39,520 --> 00:49:40,040
Speaker 3: Have fun.

970
00:49:40,760 --> 00:49:43,200
Speaker 2: We cannot wait to watch you guys next week against

971
00:49:43,239 --> 00:49:44,240
Speaker 2: either Philly or the Rams.

972
00:49:44,640 --> 00:49:46,239
Speaker 7: Oh thank you so much, thank you for having me.

973
00:49:47,440 --> 00:49:50,320
Speaker 2: That was Jeremy McNichols, the running back, one of the

974
00:49:50,400 --> 00:49:53,560
Speaker 2: running backs for the Washington Commanders, a touchdown this evening

975
00:49:54,120 --> 00:49:57,920
Speaker 2: for the Commander's Commanders forty five to twenty one victory.

976
00:49:58,040 --> 00:49:59,040
Speaker 2: Jamis just came.

977
00:49:59,000 --> 00:50:01,880
Speaker 3: Very full circle for Okay, late on me, go ahead.

978
00:50:03,800 --> 00:50:06,719
Speaker 3: So let's just say that his last name, if you

979
00:50:06,800 --> 00:50:08,840
Speaker 3: were to mispronounce it, there would be a way to

980
00:50:09,040 --> 00:50:13,080
Speaker 3: mispronounce it that would be very unfortunate on the radio.

981
00:50:13,960 --> 00:50:16,560
Speaker 3: It would be very funny for a lot of people,

982
00:50:17,080 --> 00:50:19,239
Speaker 3: but it would also become a sound drop that might

983
00:50:19,360 --> 00:50:22,920
Speaker 3: talk about when that guy might play in your city

984
00:50:23,600 --> 00:50:26,360
Speaker 3: for the time. And let's just say that a certain

985
00:50:26,480 --> 00:50:31,520
Speaker 3: radio host formerly that did daily radio in Nashville made

986
00:50:31,560 --> 00:50:34,560
Speaker 3: that mistake and it got saved and played I don't know,

987
00:50:35,000 --> 00:50:39,160
Speaker 3: several hundred times throughout the course of his radio career

988
00:50:39,239 --> 00:50:42,319
Speaker 3: in Nashville, and then he talked to him just now

989
00:50:42,400 --> 00:50:43,439
Speaker 3: on Fox Sports Radio.

990
00:50:43,800 --> 00:50:45,920
Speaker 2: Well it makes you feel better. I don't know what

991
00:50:46,120 --> 00:50:48,840
Speaker 2: the flood would be, And I googled, you don't I

992
00:50:49,000 --> 00:50:52,680
Speaker 2: googled Jason Martin, Jeremy McNichols, and nothing came up on

993
00:50:53,480 --> 00:50:54,239
Speaker 2: on the Google search.

994
00:50:54,760 --> 00:50:58,359
Speaker 3: Well, think about Nichols and think about what it's very

995
00:50:58,480 --> 00:51:02,359
Speaker 3: close to Nichols. I mean if you were to take

996
00:51:02,400 --> 00:51:06,160
Speaker 3: the C H out and replace it, I don't know

997
00:51:06,400 --> 00:51:10,480
Speaker 3: with a P for instance. Oh okay, I.

998
00:51:10,520 --> 00:51:12,479
Speaker 2: Could see where I could see where that would happen.

999
00:51:12,800 --> 00:51:14,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, well it did happen.

1000
00:51:14,920 --> 00:51:16,840
Speaker 2: I mean listen. So when I heard that, I was

1001
00:51:16,920 --> 00:51:20,080
Speaker 2: just kind of like, Okay, now, did you no, no, no,

1002
00:51:20,320 --> 00:51:22,160
Speaker 2: that that was really him? I think as far as

1003
00:51:22,200 --> 00:51:24,799
Speaker 2: I could tell him, So did you say it while

1004
00:51:24,960 --> 00:51:28,040
Speaker 2: interviewing him? Or you just said it like talking about it?

1005
00:51:28,080 --> 00:51:31,479
Speaker 3: Think I just said it during analysis, like talking about

1006
00:51:31,520 --> 00:51:33,840
Speaker 3: a game. I don't. I actually don't think we have

1007
00:51:33,960 --> 00:51:37,319
Speaker 3: Actually I had actually interviewed him on the radio until there.

1008
00:51:37,520 --> 00:51:39,840
Speaker 3: I've interviewed a whole lot of those guys, but not

1009
00:51:39,960 --> 00:51:42,040
Speaker 3: sure him. But certainly we talked about him after a

1010
00:51:42,080 --> 00:51:46,120
Speaker 3: couple of good performances that he had with the Titans,

1011
00:51:46,680 --> 00:51:50,440
Speaker 3: and uh, yeah, I made the one mistake that you know,

1012
00:51:50,719 --> 00:51:52,800
Speaker 3: you can be perfect and then one percent of the

1013
00:51:52,840 --> 00:51:54,520
Speaker 3: time you can be bad and that's all that people

1014
00:51:54,600 --> 00:51:57,160
Speaker 3: know you FORO talked to Bill Buckner about it. Well,

1015
00:51:57,719 --> 00:52:01,879
Speaker 3: for me, it was Jeremy MCB it's there. He was, well,

1016
00:52:01,920 --> 00:52:03,719
Speaker 3: you know what his career is, O, we're gonna get

1017
00:52:03,719 --> 00:52:07,319
Speaker 3: sane or still? Uh that we've already had him before we.

1018
00:52:07,440 --> 00:52:11,080
Speaker 2: Have yeah after when one of the college football playoff games? Right, crazy?

1019
00:52:11,160 --> 00:52:12,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, Michigan, Yeah, Michigan.

1020
00:52:12,640 --> 00:52:14,600
Speaker 2: Okay, hey, I'll tell you no, No, we got them

1021
00:52:14,600 --> 00:52:16,920
Speaker 2: after the beat Ohio State. I think I think he

1022
00:52:17,000 --> 00:52:19,120
Speaker 2: might be right. I know we had him on at

1023
00:52:19,239 --> 00:52:22,759
Speaker 2: some point and all that. I'll tell you what though, Listen,

1024
00:52:22,920 --> 00:52:25,400
Speaker 2: there's a guy named Dean in Michigan. Who is I

1025
00:52:25,480 --> 00:52:27,560
Speaker 2: want to talk to Ben on the phone, and I

1026
00:52:27,719 --> 00:52:30,920

1027
00:52:31,000 --> 00:52:34,680
Speaker 2: is now twelve thirteen, twelve fourteen. Dean has been on

1028
00:52:34,800 --> 00:52:38,359
Speaker 2: the phone. Bigger is the bigger story, the Commanders win

1029
00:52:38,600 --> 00:52:41,080
Speaker 2: or the Lions loss. I believe I know where Dean

1030
00:52:41,239 --> 00:52:43,239
Speaker 2: is going to go with this. Dean, you're on with

1031

Speaker 2: The floor is yours, my friend. You have earned the floor,

1033
00:52:47,960 --> 00:52:48,600
Speaker 2: no doubt about it.

1034
00:52:50,680 --> 00:52:53,560
Speaker 7: Well, first off, I just want to talk about.

1035
00:52:54,960 --> 00:52:57,480
Speaker 10: I hate I hate the Commanders so much.

1036
00:52:57,680 --> 00:53:01,000
Speaker 4: I love This line seemed way too much Ben Johnson

1037
00:53:01,800 --> 00:53:03,879
Speaker 4: third and one and wear an empty set with two

1038
00:53:03,920 --> 00:53:05,480
Speaker 4: of the bets running backs in the league.

1039
00:53:08,120 --> 00:53:08,319
Speaker 2: Point.

1040
00:53:08,640 --> 00:53:10,480
Speaker 10: Hey, I'm not even gonna blame Jamo.

1041
00:53:10,320 --> 00:53:10,799
Speaker 1: For that one.

1042
00:53:11,120 --> 00:53:12,520
Speaker 7: You can thrown in prole.

1043
00:53:12,640 --> 00:53:13,040
Speaker 4: He cares.

1044
00:53:13,400 --> 00:53:14,320
Speaker 7: Why are you call him that?

1045
00:53:15,000 --> 00:53:16,120
Speaker 5: So let do you tell me why?

1046
00:53:17,560 --> 00:53:17,759
Speaker 3: Dean?

1047
00:53:17,840 --> 00:53:18,800
Speaker 2: Let me ask you a question.

1048
00:53:18,920 --> 00:53:21,279
Speaker 7: Man, Nah, you go on going?

1049
00:53:21,880 --> 00:53:25,400
Speaker 2: So Ben Johnson, do you and like, does the cuteness

1050
00:53:25,600 --> 00:53:29,120
Speaker 2: outweigh the stupidity? Like it's all fun in games when

1051
00:53:29,160 --> 00:53:31,480
Speaker 2: you're up twenty seven to three against the Bears or

1052
00:53:31,560 --> 00:53:34,600
Speaker 2: whatever it is, and you're faking falling down. But then,

1053
00:53:34,640 --> 00:53:37,439
Speaker 2: as you said, as j mart said earlier, Jamiir Gibbs

1054
00:53:37,520 --> 00:53:40,200
Speaker 2: is getting almost eight yards per carry and you decide

1055
00:53:40,200 --> 00:53:43,680
Speaker 2: to let Jamison Jamison Williams throw the football, Like is

1056
00:53:43,760 --> 00:53:46,839
Speaker 2: it cute or is it just obnoxious? And I think

1057
00:53:47,120 --> 00:53:48,640
Speaker 2: you know it's tough to ask in this moment, but.

1058
00:53:48,719 --> 00:53:51,799
Speaker 4: Go ahead, obnoxious obnoxious by flat out, I don't care

1059
00:53:52,560 --> 00:53:54,520
Speaker 4: how up we are, how down we are.

1060
00:53:54,920 --> 00:53:57,760
Speaker 7: You have a punch in the mouth running back like Montgomery,

1061
00:53:57,920 --> 00:53:58,160
Speaker 7: or you have.

1062
00:53:58,200 --> 00:54:00,680
Speaker 4: A human joints like Jamir Gids, but you want to

1063
00:54:00,719 --> 00:54:03,040
Speaker 4: pass it and then let me let me tell you

1064
00:54:03,080 --> 00:54:06,080
Speaker 4: about this man All year it's when everybody else is injured,

1065
00:54:06,120 --> 00:54:06,680
Speaker 4: all injured.

1066
00:54:06,719 --> 00:54:09,759
Speaker 7: Bill, It's oh a ton of bull ball, man. Let

1067
00:54:09,840 --> 00:54:10,360
Speaker 7: me tell you this.

1068
00:54:10,800 --> 00:54:13,160
Speaker 4: What about the guy who played his first snaps lay

1069
00:54:13,160 --> 00:54:16,439
Speaker 4: on our defense? Brian branches out for whatever reason.

1070
00:54:16,480 --> 00:54:17,040
Speaker 1: I don't even know.

1071
00:54:17,360 --> 00:54:20,319
Speaker 4: Amik Robertson's in the hospital with an elbow injury. Right now,

1072
00:54:20,600 --> 00:54:23,640
Speaker 4: you got Kirby, Jack Campbell and alex Anzeloni. I'm just saying,

1073
00:54:23,680 --> 00:54:26,279
Speaker 4: with a broken leg, what more are we supposed to do?

1074
00:54:26,640 --> 00:54:28,920
Speaker 4: It's a practice squad of a defense right now, and

1075
00:54:29,360 --> 00:54:32,080
Speaker 4: Maddy's gonna be started. Jack Campbell, you are about probably

1076
00:54:32,120 --> 00:54:34,960
Speaker 4: two hundred and fifty to two hundred and eighty pounds player.

1077
00:54:35,120 --> 00:54:36,080
Speaker 5: Goddamns all the.

Speaker 2: Right of them all right. That was Dean in Michigan

1079
00:54:40,880 --> 00:54:43,280
Speaker 2: taking the loss in stride. Thank you, Dean. We appreciate

1080
00:54:43,320 --> 00:54:47,000
Speaker 2: the call. Uh, we got time for one more. Let

1081
00:54:47,040 --> 00:54:48,440
Speaker 2: me let's see we got time for one more. I

1082
00:54:48,480 --> 00:54:50,279
Speaker 2: don't know if you could top Dean in Michigan. But

1083
00:54:50,400 --> 00:54:52,920
Speaker 2: who do we got here? We got let me see here,

1084
00:54:53,600 --> 00:54:57,640
Speaker 2: we got Jared in Boston. You're on Fox Sports Radio, Aeron, Torurris,

1085
00:54:57,760 --> 00:55:01,160
Speaker 2: Jason Martin, Jared, Well, what's the story of the game

1086
00:55:01,239 --> 00:55:04,200
Speaker 2: to you, sir, how.

1087
00:55:04,080 --> 00:55:04,520
Speaker 7: Are we doing?

1088
00:55:04,920 --> 00:55:05,359
Speaker 2: Doing good?

1089
00:55:05,400 --> 00:55:05,719
Speaker 3: How are you?

1090
00:55:08,080 --> 00:55:13,439
Speaker 10: I'm a little shocked after that game, and I don't

1091
00:55:13,440 --> 00:55:17,520
Speaker 10: really know where did the Lions go from here? I

1092
00:55:17,800 --> 00:55:21,440
Speaker 10: cannot like of me thinking about like they'll be back

1093
00:55:21,520 --> 00:55:26,400
Speaker 10: next year. Right, it's a good sam good coding, but like,

1094
00:55:27,440 --> 00:55:31,920
Speaker 10: what the hell happened? One of my good friends, Danciata,

1095
00:55:32,000 --> 00:55:36,640
Speaker 10: he said, he coins the phrase darnald, Well, that's what Jared.

1096
00:55:36,480 --> 00:55:40,560
Speaker 2: Go Hey, Jared, I apologize your Your connection is tough.

1097
00:55:40,719 --> 00:55:42,680
Speaker 2: So this is what we'll do. We'll come back and

1098
00:55:42,760 --> 00:55:45,920
Speaker 2: we're actually gonna answer Jared's question, where do the Lions

1099
00:55:46,000 --> 00:55:49,360
Speaker 2: go from here? Gonna lose both coordinators almost certainly, despite

1100
00:55:49,440 --> 00:55:54,800
Speaker 2: Dean's disgruntledness with Ben Johnson, Gonna lose both coordinators. You know,

1101
00:55:55,239 --> 00:55:57,759
Speaker 2: can you win big with Jared Goff? Can you win big?

1102
00:55:57,920 --> 00:56:01,680
Speaker 2: Especially if you if you cannot go through Detroit in

1103
00:56:01,800 --> 00:56:04,239
Speaker 2: the playoffs. We'll come back, And Jared did have a

1104
00:56:04,280 --> 00:56:06,959
Speaker 2: good question what is next for these Detroit Lions? Because,

1105
00:56:07,000 --> 00:56:10,280
Speaker 2: as Dan Campbell said, there's no solace in winning fifteen

1106
00:56:10,320 --> 00:56:12,760
Speaker 2: regular season games when the season ends like it did tonight.

1107
00:56:13,080 --> 00:56:15,879
Speaker 2: We'll talk all that next. This is Fox Sports Radio.

1108
00:56:18,000 --> 00:56:21,000
Speaker 8: And you lose these games. Man, It's like the players

1109
00:56:23,480 --> 00:56:26,560
Speaker 8: what they put into it. A lot of people don't know,

1110
00:56:27,200 --> 00:56:29,160
Speaker 8: you know what they go through. You have to get

1111
00:56:29,280 --> 00:56:33,160
Speaker 8: up bodies, beaches, you know, mentally, stay locked in and

1112
00:56:33,440 --> 00:56:36,120
Speaker 8: do those things. So long season.

1113
00:56:38,280 --> 00:56:42,520
Speaker 2: That was an emotional Dan Campbell after the game tonight

1114
00:56:42,680 --> 00:56:44,920
Speaker 2: for people just joining us if you've somehow been under

1115
00:56:44,960 --> 00:56:48,000
Speaker 2: a rock for the last couple hours. Detroit Lions, as

1116
00:56:48,080 --> 00:56:51,000
Speaker 2: the number one seed in the NFC fifteen and two

1117
00:56:51,040 --> 00:56:54,080
Speaker 2: in the regular season, do fall at home to open

1118
00:56:54,160 --> 00:56:57,440
Speaker 2: the playoffs to the Washington Commander's final score forty five

1119
00:56:57,440 --> 00:56:59,880
Speaker 2: to thirty one. We are Er Torris Jason Martin broadcasting

1128
00:57:23,760 --> 00:57:25,720
Speaker 2: have a lot about this game, as well as the

1129
00:57:25,840 --> 00:57:28,560
Speaker 2: two games on Sunday. At some point we'll get to those.

1130
00:57:28,680 --> 00:57:30,160
Speaker 2: J Mart, but do want to put a little bit

1131
00:57:30,200 --> 00:57:33,040
Speaker 2: of a bow on this because you know, Jaydon Daniels

1132
00:57:33,080 --> 00:57:35,720
Speaker 2: and Washington are the feel good story. But I still

1133
00:57:35,880 --> 00:57:40,760
Speaker 2: think the conversation has to be about the Detroit Lions again,

1134
00:57:41,000 --> 00:57:44,000
Speaker 2: because you have so many guys on rookie contracts, because

1135
00:57:44,040 --> 00:57:46,520
Speaker 2: you have two coordinators that are probably gonna be gone,

1136
00:57:47,160 --> 00:57:52,520
Speaker 2: and because you know, listen, these these opportunities just aren't guaranteed.

1137
00:57:52,600 --> 00:57:54,040
Speaker 2: And you know, you look at somebody like the San

1138
00:57:54,080 --> 00:57:56,160
Speaker 2: Francisco forty nine ers this year, they go from the

1139
00:57:56,200 --> 00:57:58,240
Speaker 2: super Bowl to missing the playoffs, and I think that

1140
00:57:58,440 --> 00:58:01,160
Speaker 2: team has a lot of uncertainty in its future. I'm

1141
00:58:01,160 --> 00:58:03,360
Speaker 2: not saying we're there with the Detroit Lions, but I

1142
00:58:03,480 --> 00:58:05,640
Speaker 2: don't know that they will have a better two year

1143
00:58:05,760 --> 00:58:09,920
Speaker 2: window anytime soon than they just had losing in the

1144
00:58:10,000 --> 00:58:12,600
Speaker 2: NFC Championship Game last year, getting the number one seed

1145
00:58:12,680 --> 00:58:15,919
Speaker 2: this year, having zero Super Bowl appearances and obviously zero

1146
00:58:16,040 --> 00:58:17,680
Speaker 2: Super Bowl titles to show for it.

1147
00:58:19,600 --> 00:58:23,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, and you know, we talked about that division all

1148
00:58:23,320 --> 00:58:28,120
Speaker 3: year long, and again they come up completely empty in

1149
00:58:28,240 --> 00:58:31,960
Speaker 3: the playoffs with the Packers that started bad and never

1150
00:58:32,080 --> 00:58:35,400
Speaker 3: got better in kind of an ugly game against the Eagles.

1151
00:58:35,880 --> 00:58:37,560
Speaker 3: The Vikings are just going to want to try to

1152
00:58:37,640 --> 00:58:40,480
Speaker 3: forget what happened on Monday against the Rams, and then

1153
00:58:40,560 --> 00:58:45,000
Speaker 3: of course the Lions coming up empty tonight against the Commanders.

1154
00:58:45,360 --> 00:58:47,920
Speaker 3: But the other thing about the future for the Lions

1155
00:58:48,040 --> 00:58:51,520
Speaker 3: is the Bears still have Caleb Williams and they're going

1156
00:58:51,560 --> 00:58:53,960
Speaker 3: to have a new coach and we're going to see

1157
00:58:54,000 --> 00:58:58,440
Speaker 3: what they do there. The Packers, they dealt with Jordan

1158
00:58:58,520 --> 00:59:00,760
Speaker 3: Love being in and out of hell, and maybe he's

1159
00:59:00,800 --> 00:59:03,280
Speaker 3: going to grow a bit. He certainly this year started

1160
00:59:03,320 --> 00:59:05,000
Speaker 3: to look like somebody that might have been paid a

1161
00:59:05,040 --> 00:59:07,800
Speaker 3: hair too early. And then the Vikings are likely going

1162
00:59:07,880 --> 00:59:12,200
Speaker 3: to be rolling with JJ McCarthy. The division is going

1163
00:59:12,280 --> 00:59:15,040
Speaker 3: to look different, it's going to feel different, but it's

1164
00:59:15,120 --> 00:59:17,640
Speaker 3: still got a ton of talent, it's still got a

1165
00:59:17,800 --> 00:59:20,600
Speaker 3: lot of problems in terms of being able to get

1166
00:59:20,640 --> 00:59:23,080
Speaker 3: out of there. And you know, you realize that the

1167
00:59:23,200 --> 00:59:26,240
Speaker 3: Lions are the first team to win fifteen games in

1168
00:59:26,320 --> 00:59:30,520
Speaker 3: the regular season and lose in the playoffs in their

1169
00:59:30,560 --> 00:59:34,680
Speaker 3: first game, like It's never happened before, So you winning

1170
00:59:34,720 --> 00:59:37,400
Speaker 3: fifteen games again next year is likely not going to

1171
00:59:37,440 --> 00:59:40,760
Speaker 3: happen again. You weren't healthy this year. But you're also

1172
00:59:40,840 --> 00:59:43,760
Speaker 3: going to have to do something to replace Ben Johnson

1173
00:59:43,920 --> 00:59:47,400
Speaker 3: and something likely to replace Aaron Glenn and come back

1174
00:59:47,480 --> 00:59:50,360
Speaker 3: after a heartbreaking loss here when you were the number

1175
00:59:50,400 --> 00:59:53,680
Speaker 3: one seed at home and do that. And is golf

1176
00:59:54,160 --> 00:59:56,320
Speaker 3: going to be a little fractured year? What are the

1177
00:59:56,360 --> 00:59:58,160
Speaker 3: fans going to think of him? But how is he

1178
00:59:58,280 --> 00:59:58,800
Speaker 3: going to feel?

1179
00:59:59,000 --> 00:59:59,040
Speaker 7: Like?

1180
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:02,040
Speaker 3: Here's a guy that scored three points in a Super

1181
01:00:02,080 --> 01:00:06,160
Speaker 3: Bowl against the Patriots defense, Here's a guy who lost

1182
01:00:06,280 --> 01:00:10,200
Speaker 3: after being up seventeen in an NFC Championship game against

1183
01:00:10,200 --> 01:00:12,640
Speaker 3: San Francisco a year ago. And then here's a guy

1184
01:00:12,720 --> 01:00:15,160
Speaker 3: that got out dueled by a rookie quarterback on his

1185
01:00:15,320 --> 01:00:20,800
Speaker 3: home field tonight where the commander scored forty five and

1186
01:00:22,440 --> 01:00:24,520
Speaker 3: he ends up with three interceptions. I would agree with

1187
01:00:24,600 --> 01:00:26,520
Speaker 3: Dan Campbell and say the last one he kind of

1188
01:00:26,560 --> 01:00:28,360
Speaker 3: throws out one away, but he still had two picks

1189
01:00:28,400 --> 01:00:31,960
Speaker 3: in this game and a fumble to go along with it,

1190
01:00:32,080 --> 01:00:35,200
Speaker 3: and just wasn't very good. So in the biggest moments

1191
01:00:35,280 --> 01:00:39,320
Speaker 3: in his career, he has managed to underperform, and at

1192
01:00:39,360 --> 01:00:42,680
Speaker 3: some point that's something that sticks with you within your psyche,

1193
01:00:42,760 --> 01:00:44,600
Speaker 3: not even with the end of the organization and the

1194
01:00:44,680 --> 01:00:47,680
Speaker 3: fan base. It's something you have to get over. So

1195
01:00:47,880 --> 01:00:49,720
Speaker 3: how is golf going to come out of the gates

1196
01:00:49,800 --> 01:00:52,960
Speaker 3: next year? There's just so many things that you don't know,

1197
01:00:53,640 --> 01:00:57,320
Speaker 3: and the offseason ends up becoming critically important. And the

1198
01:00:57,440 --> 01:01:00,520
Speaker 3: Lions they were in win now mode, they really were,

1199
01:01:00,760 --> 01:01:03,520
Speaker 3: and they were put together for that. Injury certainly took

1200
01:01:03,560 --> 01:01:06,440
Speaker 3: their toll. But I don't know where they go from

1201
01:01:06,480 --> 01:01:08,640
Speaker 3: here because they're probably going to have to find a

1202
01:01:08,720 --> 01:01:11,520
Speaker 3: new OC in DC and Dan Campbell's going to have

1203
01:01:11,600 --> 01:01:15,480
Speaker 3: to work harder, maybe than he ever has. Considering the

1204
01:01:15,560 --> 01:01:18,040
Speaker 3: success that they've had. It would be very easy for

1205
01:01:18,120 --> 01:01:19,360
Speaker 3: them to fall off a cliff.

1206
01:01:20,400 --> 01:01:23,480
Speaker 2: Tell you what, jmart So one, I agree with pretty

1207
01:01:23,560 --> 01:01:25,840
Speaker 2: much everything you said. You feel bad, but this is

1208
01:01:25,880 --> 01:01:29,320
Speaker 2: the reality of life in the NFL. Speaking of life

1209
01:01:29,360 --> 01:01:31,880
Speaker 2: in the NFL, there was another game on Saturday. We

1210
01:01:32,000 --> 01:01:34,480
Speaker 2: have not gotten to it yet. We will discuss all

1211
01:01:34,560 --> 01:01:37,360
Speaker 2: of that. We got to start looking ahead to Sunday

1212
01:01:37,360 --> 01:01:41,000
Speaker 2: because my goodness to X two very exciting matchups, including

1213
01:01:41,000 --> 01:01:43,560
Speaker 2: obviously the headliner in Buffalo. We'll come back. We'll do

1214
01:01:43,680 --> 01:01:45,560
Speaker 2: all that, but first though, let's get it over the

1215
01:01:45,640 --> 01:01:47,920
Speaker 2: news desk Steve Seger. What is trending?

1216
01:01:48,040 --> 01:01:50,680
Speaker 6: And as we've mentioned, chance of snow and Philadelphia for

1217
01:01:50,800 --> 01:01:53,720
Speaker 6: Eagles Rams Sunday three pm Eastern time, and then it's

1218
01:01:53,800 --> 01:01:57,520
Speaker 6: Baltimore at Buffalo and the forecast is Buffalo. It's not

1219
01:01:57,600 --> 01:01:59,600
Speaker 6: great there. It's due to be under twenty degrees for

1220
01:01:59,680 --> 01:02:02,480
Speaker 6: that round game. By the way, Jay Glazer did mention

1221
01:02:02,640 --> 01:02:05,680
Speaker 6: on postgame show after the Lions lost tonight that, regarding

1222
01:02:05,760 --> 01:02:09,160
Speaker 6: the Chicago Bears head coach opening, Chicago is going to

1223
01:02:09,200 --> 01:02:12,560
Speaker 6: talk to Eddie George Tomorrow, who has been Tennessee State

1224
01:02:12,880 --> 01:02:13,680
Speaker 6: football coach.

1225
01:02:13,920 --> 01:02:15,600
Speaker 2: Can you do me a favorite that it is correct?

1226
01:02:15,680 --> 01:02:18,040
Speaker 2: Can you just next update, just list the people that

1227
01:02:18,160 --> 01:02:19,880
Speaker 2: Chicago's not talking to for their head coaching.

1228
01:02:19,920 --> 01:02:22,200
Speaker 6: That's right, because I stopped counting at twelve.

1229
01:02:22,520 --> 01:02:25,000
Speaker 2: It's embarrassing, Jamart, we might have to talk about this

1230
01:02:25,040 --> 01:02:27,560
Speaker 2: an hour. I know we have like thirty seven topics

1231
01:02:27,600 --> 01:02:29,880
Speaker 2: to get to an hour three. The Bears are a

1232
01:02:29,960 --> 01:02:33,080
Speaker 2: freaking embarrassment. I'm officially feeling bad for Caleb Williams. Sorry

1233
01:02:33,120 --> 01:02:36,680
Speaker 2: to say, you're apparently Jeff Olbrick not available now so well.

1234
01:02:36,840 --> 01:02:39,240
Speaker 2: And to be clear, Eddie George is having success as

1235
01:02:39,240 --> 01:02:43,560
Speaker 2: an HBCU head coach. This is an abomination to a

1236
01:02:43,800 --> 01:02:46,920
Speaker 2: young quarterback that, as we said last week, if they

1237
01:02:47,040 --> 01:02:51,200
Speaker 2: mess up this this higher, they can ruined him for

1238
01:02:51,640 --> 01:02:55,440
Speaker 2: his career probably never recovers. By the way, depending on

1239
01:02:55,520 --> 01:02:57,400
Speaker 2: who the higher is, if I was Caleb Williams, he

1240
01:02:57,440 --> 01:02:59,840
Speaker 2: should demand a trade. That sounds crazy. I'm not being stark.

1241
01:03:00,360 --> 01:03:00,920
Speaker 2: I think he should.

1242
01:03:00,920 --> 01:03:03,360
Speaker 6: But anyway, and you mentioned as far as openings, there

1243
01:03:03,400 --> 01:03:06,960
Speaker 6: could be coordinator openings now with Detroit. Can this franchise

1244
01:03:07,080 --> 01:03:10,439
Speaker 6: be like Philadelphia and lose coordinators? And my goodness, they're

1245
01:03:10,440 --> 01:03:13,240
Speaker 6: still here on the doorstep of the conference championship. If

1246
01:03:13,280 --> 01:03:16,040
Speaker 6: they win tomorrow, that's a game they would now host.

1247
01:03:16,160 --> 01:03:19,640
Speaker 6: By the way, Rams Eagles winner will host the NFC

1248
01:03:19,800 --> 01:03:23,360
Speaker 6: title game next weekend because Detroit is out. Washington beat

1249
01:03:23,400 --> 01:03:27,640
Speaker 6: him forty five to thirty one. Jaden Daniels two hundred

1250
01:03:27,720 --> 01:03:31,120
Speaker 6: ninety nine yards passing two touchdowns. The NFL passed along

1251
01:03:31,200 --> 01:03:34,760
Speaker 6: this stat tonight. He has beaten yet another quarterback who

1252
01:03:34,880 --> 01:03:38,480
Speaker 6: was drafted number one overall. That's five times in his

1253
01:03:38,680 --> 01:03:41,720
Speaker 6: rookie year, Jaden Daniels has done that. No rookie has

1254
01:03:41,800 --> 01:03:45,520
Speaker 6: ever done that going back to nineteen fifty including postseason,

1255
01:03:46,040 --> 01:03:49,480
Speaker 6: and so with the two results today in the divisional playoffs,

1256
01:03:49,800 --> 01:03:53,440
Speaker 6: this trivia question needs no updating. Who are the four

1257
01:03:53,600 --> 01:03:56,439
Speaker 6: NFL teams that have never been to a Super Bowl?

1258
01:03:57,320 --> 01:04:02,760
Speaker 6: The Lions, the Texans, Xonville and the Cleveland Browns. Those

1259
01:04:02,800 --> 01:04:03,440
Speaker 6: are the four.

1260
01:04:03,400 --> 01:04:05,720
Speaker 2: That's depressing fear Browns fan or Lions fan.

1261
01:04:05,960 --> 01:04:08,640
Speaker 6: We have a rookie quarterback in the NFC title Game

1262
01:04:08,960 --> 01:04:11,760
Speaker 6: next weekend, and in fact, to knock off the top

1263
01:04:11,920 --> 01:04:15,320
Speaker 6: seed as a rookie QB. Apparently that had only been

1264
01:04:15,400 --> 01:04:17,480
Speaker 6: done once over fifteen years ago.

1265
01:04:17,640 --> 01:04:18,520
Speaker 2: Joe Flacco is.

1266
01:04:18,520 --> 01:04:23,640
Speaker 6: A rookie against Tennessee in this game, and Washington did

1267
01:04:23,720 --> 01:04:26,520
Speaker 6: score a lot we mentioned earlier, four touchdowns second quarter

1268
01:04:26,600 --> 01:04:29,520
Speaker 6: for them, two touchdowns second quarter for Detroit, highest scoring

1269
01:04:29,640 --> 01:04:33,240
Speaker 6: quarter in NFL playoff history, but red zone tds for

1270
01:04:33,320 --> 01:04:37,520
Speaker 6: the Commanders four for four, red zone tds for Lions

1271
01:04:38,240 --> 01:04:41,920
Speaker 6: three for six. Lions lost by two tds, and keep

1272
01:04:41,960 --> 01:04:44,360
Speaker 6: in mind they threw a pick six in the first half.

1273
01:04:45,000 --> 01:04:49,120
Speaker 6: Washington no turnovers, took no sacks, and a franchise that

1274
01:04:49,240 --> 01:04:51,560
Speaker 6: hadn't won a playoff game since the two thousand and

1275
01:04:51,680 --> 01:04:56,200
Speaker 6: five season, is going to the NFC Championship. Meanwhile, Kansas

1276
01:04:56,240 --> 01:04:58,320
Speaker 6: City is into a conference title game for the seventh

1277
01:04:58,360 --> 01:05:02,800
Speaker 6: straight year. The Chiefs eliminated Houston today twenty three to fourteen.

1278
01:05:03,120 --> 01:05:06,160
Speaker 6: The falcons new defensive coordinator is Jeff Ulbrich, who was

1279
01:05:06,240 --> 01:05:10,200
Speaker 6: the Jets interim head coach. Texas Longhorns coach Steve Sarkejian

1280
01:05:10,280 --> 01:05:13,320
Speaker 6: got an extension through twenty thirty one. He had been

1281
01:05:13,400 --> 01:05:17,280
Speaker 6: contacted by NFL teams two or three, reportedly the late

1282
01:05:17,360 --> 01:05:20,000
Speaker 6: game in the NBA's A Final. Houston wins again one

1283
01:05:20,080 --> 01:05:22,160
Speaker 6: twenty five, one to oh three at Portland, which has

1284
01:05:22,240 --> 01:05:26,440
Speaker 6: dropped five straight. Shay Gilgess Alexander of OKC is questionable

1285
01:05:26,480 --> 01:05:29,000
Speaker 6: for Sunday with a spring wrist. He missed their Friday

1286
01:05:29,040 --> 01:05:31,360
Speaker 6: game Atlanta one in overtime at Boston.

1287
01:05:31,440 --> 01:05:34,080
Speaker 2: Back to you, thank you very much, Steve Seger. This

1288
01:05:34,280 --> 01:05:38,440
Speaker 2: is Fox Sports Radio, Fox Sports Saturday into Sunday, depending

1289
01:05:38,440 --> 01:05:40,760
Speaker 2: on where you are towards d Smart broadcasting live from

1290
01:05:40,800 --> 01:05:44,760
Speaker 2: the Tyreck dot Com studios. Jmart. We should should talk

1291
01:05:44,760 --> 01:05:48,640
Speaker 2: about the other game some point. Kansas City does get

1292
01:05:48,680 --> 01:05:53,480
Speaker 2: the win over the Houston Texans. Final score in Kansas

1293
01:05:53,520 --> 01:05:57,680
Speaker 2: City twenty three to fourteen, a late safety, by the way,

1294
01:05:57,840 --> 01:06:01,680
Speaker 2: was interesting for betters to say the least. One hand,

1295
01:06:02,560 --> 01:06:05,680
Speaker 2: On the one hand, Kansas City does win again. On

1296
01:06:05,920 --> 01:06:07,920
Speaker 2: the other hand, And I don't know if you want

1297
01:06:07,960 --> 01:06:10,400
Speaker 2: to talk about the game itself, but there's two interesting things.

1298
01:06:10,520 --> 01:06:14,439
Speaker 2: One Chris Plank shared this stat earlier. According to ESPN

1299
01:06:14,480 --> 01:06:17,280
Speaker 2: Stats and Info, Texans are the first team to outgain

1300
01:06:17,320 --> 01:06:20,000
Speaker 2: their opponent by one hundred plus yards, not turn the

1301
01:06:20,080 --> 01:06:24,680
Speaker 2: ball over and lose a postseason game. Previous such teams

1302
01:06:24,760 --> 01:06:28,800
Speaker 2: were forty nine and zero in the playoffs. Also worth noting,

1303
01:06:29,080 --> 01:06:32,080
Speaker 2: there's a couple just things I want to get to here. One,

1304
01:06:32,680 --> 01:06:36,680
Speaker 2: I don't want to solely blame the refs because Houston

1305
01:06:36,720 --> 01:06:38,760
Speaker 2: missed a field goal right before the half. They had

1306
01:06:38,800 --> 01:06:40,840
Speaker 2: a field goal blocked and missed an extra point that

1307
01:06:40,840 --> 01:06:43,200
Speaker 2: would have tied the game at thirteen. But it is

1308
01:06:43,280 --> 01:06:47,200
Speaker 2: also worth noting j mart two very questionable roughing. The

1309
01:06:47,280 --> 01:06:48,920
Speaker 2: passer penalties extended.

1310
01:06:48,920 --> 01:06:50,880
Speaker 3: Oh, they were bad calls. They were bad calls.

1311
01:06:51,240 --> 01:06:53,000
Speaker 2: Uh, I'm just gonna say it too. Rough in the

1312
01:06:53,040 --> 01:06:58,880
Speaker 2: passing penalties extended drives Kansas City scores on both of them.

1313
01:06:58,960 --> 01:07:01,520
Speaker 2: They end up winning by nine. And by the way,

1314
01:07:01,560 --> 01:07:03,440
Speaker 2: after the game, will Will Anderson said, I told you

1315
01:07:03,480 --> 01:07:06,400
Speaker 2: all week, Uh, it was gonna be US against the

1316
01:07:06,760 --> 01:07:08,880
Speaker 2: US against Earth, It's gonna be Houston against the refs.

1317
01:07:08,960 --> 01:07:12,920
Speaker 2: So anyway, if there's an angle outside of the refs

1318
01:07:12,960 --> 01:07:14,840
Speaker 2: that you want to talk to, I'm happy to do it.

1319
01:07:15,240 --> 01:07:17,160
Speaker 2: But I just felt like I should at least reference.

1320
01:07:17,200 --> 01:07:19,800
Speaker 2: It feels like that was the talking point after the

1321
01:07:19,840 --> 01:07:20,920
Speaker 2: game more than anything else.

1322
01:07:21,000 --> 01:07:23,920
Speaker 3: You look, it's gonna be when it's the Chiefs. It's

1323
01:07:24,040 --> 01:07:26,440
Speaker 3: actually very tired as far as I'm concerned. Like I

1324
01:07:26,480 --> 01:07:29,000
Speaker 3: thought those two calls were really bad calls. I do.

1325
01:07:30,360 --> 01:07:33,320
Speaker 3: I can't stand the rest and the league are on

1326
01:07:33,440 --> 01:07:36,000
Speaker 3: the take. They want Kansas City in the super Bowl.

1327
01:07:36,120 --> 01:07:38,480
Speaker 3: Like I can't listen to this garbage. I just can't.

1328
01:07:38,600 --> 01:07:41,680
Speaker 3: Like we live in such a conspiracy theory society at

1329
01:07:41,720 --> 01:07:44,400
Speaker 3: this point that it's just become incredibly old.

1330
01:07:44,720 --> 01:07:44,960
Speaker 5: For me.

1331
01:07:45,320 --> 01:07:47,600
Speaker 3: Again, I thought both those calls were bad. I actually

1332
01:07:47,680 --> 01:07:49,640
Speaker 3: do have one point to make about the game lease

1333
01:07:50,400 --> 01:07:55,600
Speaker 3: with the yardage discrepancy, So Houston's offensive line is an abomination,

1334
01:07:56,160 --> 01:07:59,760
Speaker 3: Like they are absolutely horrendous They've dealt with some injuries, certainly,

1335
01:07:59,840 --> 01:08:02,520
Speaker 3: but they haven't been able to keep CJ. Stroud upright

1336
01:08:03,400 --> 01:08:05,560
Speaker 3: All season long. He was sacked the second most in

1337
01:08:05,640 --> 01:08:08,120
Speaker 3: the league, and he was sacked eight times in this

1338
01:08:08,280 --> 01:08:11,880
Speaker 3: game by the Kansas City defense. Two things about that,

1339
01:08:12,360 --> 01:08:15,040
Speaker 3: a lot of them came on third down early in

1340
01:08:15,160 --> 01:08:18,600
Speaker 3: this game when they were moving the ball down the

1341
01:08:18,720 --> 01:08:22,280
Speaker 3: field against Kansas City, and then on a third down CJ.

1342
01:08:22,439 --> 01:08:24,880
Speaker 3: Stroud would be sacked and it turned a field goal

1343
01:08:25,000 --> 01:08:29,640
Speaker 3: into a fifty plus yarder that Fairburn missed and or

1344
01:08:30,080 --> 01:08:32,559
Speaker 3: would result in a punt. It stopped them from being

1345
01:08:32,600 --> 01:08:34,760
Speaker 3: able to advance. If they could have found a way

1346
01:08:35,080 --> 01:08:37,679
Speaker 3: not to give up sacks on third down, that would

1347
01:08:37,720 --> 01:08:39,479
Speaker 3: have been in better shape. And I also want to

1348
01:08:39,479 --> 01:08:42,760
Speaker 3: point this out again game related, even though we're going

1349
01:08:42,800 --> 01:08:44,519
Speaker 3: to talk more about the officials. I know that, but

1350
01:08:46,280 --> 01:08:48,720
Speaker 3: a couple of hes are on Stroud. Like Stroud did

1351
01:08:48,840 --> 01:08:52,559
Speaker 3: play well, but Stroud's got to get rid of the football.

1352
01:08:53,040 --> 01:08:56,479
Speaker 3: When you realize that your offensive line is a dumpster fire,

1353
01:08:57,080 --> 01:08:59,320
Speaker 3: then get the ball out of your hand. Like I

1354
01:08:59,439 --> 01:09:02,679
Speaker 3: know he's trying to make a play, but stop taking

1355
01:09:02,800 --> 01:09:04,639
Speaker 3: these sacks. And there were a couple of times where

1356
01:09:04,680 --> 01:09:06,719
Speaker 3: he ran the ball when he should have just thrown

1357
01:09:06,760 --> 01:09:09,320
Speaker 3: it away. One of them tweaked his ankle, it looked

1358
01:09:09,360 --> 01:09:11,519
Speaker 3: like or tweaked his knee, and he came back in

1359
01:09:11,600 --> 01:09:13,880
Speaker 3: he one hundred percent after missing a little bit of time,

1360
01:09:14,000 --> 01:09:16,800
Speaker 3: and some of those kinds of things. He's he is

1361
01:09:16,920 --> 01:09:19,800
Speaker 3: a competitor and he's trying to make plays, but there

1362
01:09:19,840 --> 01:09:21,519
Speaker 3: are spots where it's like, dude, you got to get

1363
01:09:21,560 --> 01:09:23,080
Speaker 3: the ball out of your hands, like you realize you

1364
01:09:23,200 --> 01:09:25,200
Speaker 3: don't have the time that you want to have to

1365
01:09:25,280 --> 01:09:27,639
Speaker 3: make this play. If the play ain't there, get out

1366
01:09:27,640 --> 01:09:31,599
Speaker 3: of the pocket and throw the football into the stands somewhere,

1367
01:09:32,080 --> 01:09:36,439
Speaker 3: as opposed to getting dropped again and losing yardage. Those

1368
01:09:36,520 --> 01:09:39,040
Speaker 3: were things that frustrated me in this game for the

1369
01:09:39,160 --> 01:09:42,519
Speaker 3: Texans and for Stroud, because I know what Stroud was

1370
01:09:42,640 --> 01:09:45,240
Speaker 3: dealing with. But at the same time, I don't think

1371
01:09:45,280 --> 01:09:48,200
Speaker 3: he helped himself because he really he just held the

1372
01:09:48,240 --> 01:09:51,040
Speaker 3: ball too long when his offensive line clearly wasn't able

1373
01:09:51,080 --> 01:09:51,559
Speaker 3: to hold up.

1374
01:09:52,560 --> 01:09:52,800
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1375
01:09:53,160 --> 01:09:57,560
Speaker 2: No, And I think you know that's that game was

1376
01:09:57,640 --> 01:09:59,800
Speaker 2: kind of a metaphor for the Houston Texans season up

1377
01:09:59,840 --> 01:10:03,439
Speaker 2: in down you know, ten and seven in a obviously

1378
01:10:03,560 --> 01:10:07,200
Speaker 2: a not great division, just a weird year for them,

1379
01:10:07,880 --> 01:10:11,000
Speaker 2: and uh with them season comes to an end, they

1380
01:10:11,040 --> 01:10:13,760
Speaker 2: have some issues. And by the way, so it's tough,

1381
01:10:13,880 --> 01:10:15,760
Speaker 2: right because I don't just want to make it about

1382
01:10:15,800 --> 01:10:18,160
Speaker 2: the refs because again, missed the field goal that was

1383
01:10:18,280 --> 01:10:21,639
Speaker 2: very makeable at a field goal, blocked extra point, would

1384
01:10:21,640 --> 01:10:23,960
Speaker 2: it's tied it, But it does feel like the refs

1385
01:10:24,040 --> 01:10:27,800
Speaker 2: were the topic of conversation, so like I don't know

1386
01:10:27,840 --> 01:10:29,679
Speaker 2: what to do, j Mark, because it's all anybody wants

1387
01:10:29,680 --> 01:10:30,880
Speaker 2: to talk about, Like I don't know.

1388
01:10:30,960 --> 01:10:33,840
Speaker 3: Like like we can do you know what I'm saying, right,

1389
01:10:34,040 --> 01:10:36,600
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, no, I just the idea of like the

1390
01:10:36,720 --> 01:10:39,920
Speaker 3: conspiracy theory crap, Like I'm just over it, Like it's

1391
01:10:40,360 --> 01:10:43,120
Speaker 3: not every game is the league is not on the

1392
01:10:43,280 --> 01:10:46,120
Speaker 3: take and these officials are not on the take every

1393
01:10:46,200 --> 01:10:48,479
Speaker 3: time your team or a team you don't like gets

1394
01:10:48,520 --> 01:10:48,800
Speaker 3: a call.

1395
01:10:49,280 --> 01:10:51,280
Speaker 2: So I so that part I absolutely agree with. And

1396
01:10:51,600 --> 01:10:55,760
Speaker 2: the other thing is is that I don't know, like

1397
01:10:56,800 --> 01:11:01,920
Speaker 2: it's so tough right because the Chiefs are the you

1398
01:11:02,000 --> 01:11:05,720
Speaker 2: know there the evil empire right now and people want

1399
01:11:05,720 --> 01:11:08,439
Speaker 2: to see him lose. And so I do think there

1400
01:11:08,640 --> 01:11:12,680
Speaker 2: is an element of like the league, I don't know

1401
01:11:12,720 --> 01:11:14,880
Speaker 2: if the league wants them there, Like, is it great,

1402
01:11:15,920 --> 01:11:18,720
Speaker 2: it's tough? Is it great? Our dynasty is good?

1403
01:11:18,800 --> 01:11:18,960
Speaker 3: Yes?

1404
01:11:19,200 --> 01:11:22,000
Speaker 2: Is having a team that half of the audience will

1405
01:11:22,080 --> 01:11:23,840
Speaker 2: tune in because they want to see them lose? Is

1406
01:11:23,880 --> 01:11:24,799
Speaker 2: that good for ratings?

1407
01:11:24,920 --> 01:11:25,080
Speaker 3: Yes?

1408
01:11:25,720 --> 01:11:29,400
Speaker 2: I also don't know that. I feel like the league, like, like,

1409
01:11:29,479 --> 01:11:31,479
Speaker 2: let's work under the assumption that that's true, right, Let's

1410
01:11:31,479 --> 01:11:34,360
Speaker 2: work under the assumption that the league is actively trying

1411
01:11:34,400 --> 01:11:36,760
Speaker 2: to help them win games. I don't know why they're not.

1412
01:11:37,240 --> 01:11:39,439
Speaker 2: By the way, they're not a very fun watch right now.

1413
01:11:41,439 --> 01:11:44,439
Speaker 2: There's a lot of other great storylines. I mean, imagine

1414
01:11:44,479 --> 01:11:46,919
Speaker 2: how big Super Bowl Week would be if Lamar Jackson

1415
01:11:47,000 --> 01:11:49,160
Speaker 2: gets there. Imagine how big it would be if it

1416
01:11:49,400 --> 01:11:52,479
Speaker 2: was Raven's Commanders. Imagine how big it would be if

1417
01:11:52,520 --> 01:11:55,800
Speaker 2: it was Raven's Eagles. Like he go on and on

1418
01:11:55,920 --> 01:11:58,760
Speaker 2: down the list, Josh, so like that to me is

1419
01:11:58,840 --> 01:12:04,440
Speaker 2: the weird part is I get it. I don't necessarily

1420
01:12:04,520 --> 01:12:06,560
Speaker 2: think that even if we worked under the assumption that

1421
01:12:06,640 --> 01:12:08,760
Speaker 2: there might be truth to it, I don't know that

1422
01:12:08,840 --> 01:12:10,599
Speaker 2: the league would want them there. And then the other

1423
01:12:10,680 --> 01:12:13,240
Speaker 2: thing I'll just say really quick is I did think

1424
01:12:13,320 --> 01:12:15,280
Speaker 2: that Troy Aikman brought up a great point during the

1425
01:12:15,360 --> 01:12:18,479
Speaker 2: game is that I do think that while we want

1426
01:12:18,560 --> 01:12:22,840
Speaker 2: to protect quarterbacks, we have to evaluate the rules as

1427
01:12:22,840 --> 01:12:27,559
Speaker 2: they're currently structured. Because Mahomes al was talking to Brandon Deutsch,

1428
01:12:27,600 --> 01:12:29,840
Speaker 2: who does all of our audio editing in the back.

1429
01:12:29,880 --> 01:12:31,519
Speaker 2: He does an awesome job. I was talking to him

1430
01:12:31,520 --> 01:12:35,000
Speaker 2: about it before the game, and Aikman brought brought it up.

1431
01:12:35,040 --> 01:12:38,200
Speaker 2: He didn't necessarily use this exact analogy, but there's almost

1432
01:12:38,280 --> 01:12:41,840
Speaker 2: like a James Harden quality to Patrick mahomes right now

1433
01:12:41,920 --> 01:12:44,519
Speaker 2: where he's found this little glitch in the system where

1434
01:12:45,040 --> 01:12:49,080
Speaker 2: and Troy Aikman basically said he's dancing around waiting for

1435
01:12:49,320 --> 01:12:53,479
Speaker 2: a hit, so that you know, basically I don't I'm

1436
01:12:53,920 --> 01:12:54,880
Speaker 2: rambling and this is all.

1437
01:12:54,960 --> 01:12:58,240
Speaker 3: Basically when they basically he's gonna tiptoe down the sidelines,

1438
01:12:58,880 --> 01:13:01,799
Speaker 3: or he's gonna freezes before he goes out of bounds.

1439
01:13:01,920 --> 01:13:03,960
Speaker 3: He's gonna wait for somebody to launch, and he's gonna

1440
01:13:03,960 --> 01:13:05,800
Speaker 3: step out of bounds so it looks like he got

1441
01:13:05,880 --> 01:13:08,120
Speaker 3: hit out of back or immediately he dropped that up

1442
01:13:08,160 --> 01:13:10,920
Speaker 3: from Aaron Rodgers because Rogers was the master of that

1443
01:13:11,040 --> 01:13:14,000
Speaker 3: in Green Bay and Patrick Mahomes has been doing it

1444
01:13:14,120 --> 01:13:16,720
Speaker 3: now for years and people can't stand it. But the

1445
01:13:16,800 --> 01:13:19,439
Speaker 3: problem is it's because all he's doing is doing what

1446
01:13:19,560 --> 01:13:20,720
Speaker 3: the rules allow him to do.

1447
01:13:21,360 --> 01:13:25,720
Speaker 2: Yes, and or dropped to the ground, you know, like

1448
01:13:25,960 --> 01:13:28,640
Speaker 2: there was a slide where he hadn't even begun the

1449
01:13:28,800 --> 01:13:31,960
Speaker 2: slide and they didn't even hit him, and it was

1450
01:13:32,000 --> 01:13:33,880
Speaker 2: called for a fifteen yard penalty. And it is worth

1451
01:13:33,960 --> 01:13:37,000
Speaker 2: noting it was a thirteen to twelve game at that point.

1452
01:13:37,040 --> 01:13:39,519
Speaker 2: It was on a third and long, they get the

1453
01:13:39,840 --> 01:13:42,320
Speaker 2: first down and they end up scoring a touchdown and

1454
01:13:42,400 --> 01:13:45,120
Speaker 2: never obviously Houston was never able to catch up. So

1455
01:13:45,680 --> 01:13:48,160
Speaker 2: so yeah, I agree with you. The league is not

1456
01:13:48,320 --> 01:13:51,080
Speaker 2: out to help Kansas City. I also agree with anybody

1457
01:13:51,120 --> 01:13:54,000
Speaker 2: who feels like it's frustrating. And by the way, that

1458
01:13:54,120 --> 01:13:56,800
Speaker 2: includes people in the Houston Texans locker room who were

1459
01:13:56,960 --> 01:14:00,320
Speaker 2: clearly very frustrated after that game. And frustrated. When I

1460
01:14:00,320 --> 01:14:02,320
Speaker 2: say that, I mean with the refs. Fox Sports radio

01:14:28,479 --> 01:14:31,280
Speaker 2: we look ahead, gotta look back. Steve Desager at this

1470
01:14:31,479 --> 01:14:35,200
Speaker 2: time every Sunday morning catches us up on what we

1471
01:14:35,280 --> 01:14:36,760
Speaker 2: miss Saturday to Saga take it away.

1472
01:14:37,160 --> 01:14:39,760
Speaker 6: If the Eagles can win in what's forecasted to be

1473
01:14:39,840 --> 01:14:42,920
Speaker 6: snow for their divisional playoff at home tomorrow against the Rams,

1474
01:14:43,040 --> 01:14:47,320
Speaker 6: Philly would be hosting Washington after the Commander's upset Detroit tonight.

1475
01:14:48,200 --> 01:14:50,360
Speaker 6: It would be only the second time in the last

1476
01:14:50,439 --> 01:14:53,439
Speaker 6: decade you would have a conference title game featuring two

1477
01:14:53,520 --> 01:14:56,240
Speaker 6: teams from the same division. The Rams hosted the forty

1478
01:14:56,320 --> 01:14:58,320
Speaker 6: nine Ers few years ago with a ton of Niner

1479
01:14:58,400 --> 01:15:00,880
Speaker 6: fans there, but the Rams did win in the home park.

1480
01:15:01,720 --> 01:15:04,559
Speaker 6: As for Kansas City, they're into a conference title game

1481
01:15:04,680 --> 01:15:08,760
Speaker 6: for the seventh straight year after eliminating Houston today. Caseyes

1482
01:15:08,840 --> 01:15:12,200
Speaker 6: will be hosting next weekend. And as this game progressed,

1483
01:15:12,320 --> 01:15:15,720
Speaker 6: I'm sure there were millions of people watching saying this

1484
01:15:15,840 --> 01:15:17,800
Speaker 6: game seems a little closer than it should be, and

1485
01:15:17,960 --> 01:15:20,880
Speaker 6: yet again Kansas City wins. This is like a sentence

1486
01:15:20,960 --> 01:15:23,960
Speaker 6: to be repeated for about four to five months now,

1487
01:15:24,080 --> 01:15:27,519
Speaker 6: because this is the twelfth time this season that the

1488
01:15:27,640 --> 01:15:31,519
Speaker 6: Chiefs have won by single digits, a record in NFL history,

1489
01:15:31,600 --> 01:15:34,120
Speaker 6: most such wins in a single season by any team

1490
01:15:34,160 --> 01:15:38,760
Speaker 6: regular season in playoffs twelve wins by single digits. Here

1491
01:15:38,840 --> 01:15:41,680
Speaker 6: we had Detroit tonight, not only a one seed for

1492
01:15:41,720 --> 01:15:45,640
Speaker 6: their conference, Detroit was the number one total offense in

1493
01:15:45,720 --> 01:15:48,200
Speaker 6: the NFC over four hundred yards a game. They had

1494
01:15:48,280 --> 01:15:51,519
Speaker 6: offense over five hundred yards worth tonight and did not win.

1495
01:15:52,200 --> 01:15:55,960
Speaker 6: Detroit was averaging thirty three points a game, best in

1496
01:15:56,040 --> 01:15:58,280
Speaker 6: the NFL. Had thirty one tonight.

1497
01:15:58,479 --> 01:15:59,120
Speaker 2: Did not win.

1498
01:16:00,040 --> 01:16:03,280
Speaker 6: Did Kansas City ever score thirty three points in any

1499
01:16:03,360 --> 01:16:04,040
Speaker 6: game this year?

1500
01:16:04,880 --> 01:16:05,960
Speaker 3: No, not one.

1501
01:16:06,520 --> 01:16:09,400
Speaker 6: Kansas City did not score over thirty points in any

1502
01:16:09,520 --> 01:16:12,160
Speaker 6: game the whole season, and yet had the best record.

1503
01:16:12,280 --> 01:16:16,040
Speaker 6: In fact, it's now sixteen and two. So Kansas City

1504
01:16:16,120 --> 01:16:21,360
Speaker 6: advances today. Washington advances tonight. Washington's franchise is into the

1505
01:16:21,479 --> 01:16:24,719
Speaker 6: NFC Championship Game for the first time in over thirty years,

1506
01:16:25,280 --> 01:16:28,719
Speaker 6: and They're going there with a rookie quarterback. Jaden Daniels

1507
01:16:28,800 --> 01:16:31,240
Speaker 6: had over two hundred and forty yards passing just in

1508
01:16:31,360 --> 01:16:34,360
Speaker 6: the first half, setting a rookie record. He and his

1509
01:16:34,479 --> 01:16:37,679
Speaker 6: team yet again, no turnovers, They took no sacks tonight,

1510
01:16:38,400 --> 01:16:41,680
Speaker 6: and that's seven straight wins for Washington. As Tonight's game

1511
01:16:41,760 --> 01:16:45,400
Speaker 6: went along, it reminded me of an upset loss that

1512
01:16:45,520 --> 01:16:49,479
Speaker 6: Joe Montana suffered in his San Francisco career, because here

1513
01:16:49,560 --> 01:16:52,920
Speaker 6: you had Detroit as the one seed and divisional round

1514
01:16:53,320 --> 01:16:55,519
Speaker 6: and at home, and no one expecting him to lose.

1515
01:16:55,680 --> 01:16:59,240
Speaker 6: All that was the case when Montana and company late

1516
01:16:59,320 --> 01:17:02,120
Speaker 6: eighties were hosting the Minnesota Vikings. And keep in mind,

1517
01:17:02,200 --> 01:17:05,080
Speaker 6: aside from that upset, Joe Montana was thirteen and three

1518
01:17:05,160 --> 01:17:07,720
Speaker 6: in the playoffs in the nineteen eighties and they were

1519
01:17:07,800 --> 01:17:10,880
Speaker 6: one seed in this particular year and hosting a Minnesota

1520
01:17:10,960 --> 01:17:14,680
Speaker 6: team that went eight and seven, and still there was,

1521
01:17:15,080 --> 01:17:17,760
Speaker 6: like tonight, a pick six thrown in the first half.

1522
01:17:18,439 --> 01:17:22,400
Speaker 6: Like tonight, a shocking double digit deficit at halftime at home,

1523
01:17:22,520 --> 01:17:25,080
Speaker 6: those Niners were down twenty to three at break, and

1524
01:17:25,439 --> 01:17:27,800
Speaker 6: like tonight, it seemed like the home team that we

1525
01:17:27,880 --> 01:17:31,599
Speaker 6: all thought should have won, just couldn't stop the opponent

1526
01:17:32,200 --> 01:17:35,559
Speaker 6: on that day. Also a Saturday, Minnesota won by twelve

1527
01:17:35,720 --> 01:17:39,800
Speaker 6: and advanced. Tonight, Washington wins by fourteen and advances. So

1528
01:17:39,960 --> 01:17:43,160
Speaker 6: this is two playoff wins for Washington, a franchise that

1529
01:17:43,240 --> 01:17:45,759
Speaker 6: had won a single playoff game since the two thousand

1530
01:17:45,760 --> 01:17:48,400
Speaker 6: and five season. Until last weekend, had been zero to

1531
01:17:48,520 --> 01:17:51,799
Speaker 6: five in the postseason since. But what a run already

1532
01:17:51,880 --> 01:17:55,520
Speaker 6: there on this postseason. Add up the two games, Commander's

1533
01:17:55,600 --> 01:18:00,439
Speaker 6: offense has had sixteen drives, one punt. They scored eleven

1534
01:18:00,600 --> 01:18:05,600
Speaker 6: times and had one punt. In fact, it's seven touchdowns

1535
01:18:05,640 --> 01:18:08,639
Speaker 6: plus four field goals. There was a missfield goal late tonight,

1536
01:18:09,600 --> 01:18:13,160
Speaker 6: dan Quinn, can he actually take his team to a

1537
01:18:13,240 --> 01:18:17,680
Speaker 6: Super Bowl in his first full season there in the

1538
01:18:17,760 --> 01:18:21,559
Speaker 6: last fifteen years, that's happened once Gary Kubiak Broncos about

1539
01:18:21,600 --> 01:18:25,360
Speaker 6: a decade ago. But more amazing, guys, we've never had

1540
01:18:25,400 --> 01:18:29,479
Speaker 6: a rookie quarterback start a Super Bowl. Jaden Daniels is

1541
01:18:29,640 --> 01:18:33,160
Speaker 6: one win away from being the first. And we've had

1542
01:18:33,200 --> 01:18:36,759
Speaker 6: almost sixty Super Bowls in history. Who've had five different

1543
01:18:36,840 --> 01:18:40,599
Speaker 6: rookies get to conference title games, all of them lost

1544
01:18:40,720 --> 01:18:44,680
Speaker 6: the conference title games brock Purty recently Mark Sanchez when

1545
01:18:44,760 --> 01:18:47,920
Speaker 6: he was a rookie. Meanwhile, if, as I mentioned earlier,

1546
01:18:48,040 --> 01:18:50,479
Speaker 6: if the Rams can pull off the upset at Philly

1547
01:18:50,600 --> 01:18:53,439
Speaker 6: in the snow tomorrow, a four seed's going to be

1548
01:18:53,520 --> 01:18:56,400
Speaker 6: hosting a conference title game. The Rams did that just

1549
01:18:56,439 --> 01:18:59,600
Speaker 6: a few years ago, and Kurt Warner's Cardinals did that

1550
01:18:59,800 --> 01:19:02,479
Speaker 6: in two thousand and eight. Aside from that, those are

1551
01:19:02,520 --> 01:19:05,240
Speaker 6: the only two instances where a four seed has hosted

1552
01:19:05,640 --> 01:19:08,800
Speaker 6: the conference title game. Washington, by the way, and this

1553
01:19:09,080 --> 01:19:12,720
Speaker 6: was the great stat of last weekend, fulfilled something that's

1554
01:19:12,800 --> 01:19:16,280
Speaker 6: so rare in NFL history with a rookie starting quarterback

1555
01:19:16,920 --> 01:19:19,400
Speaker 6: go through a whole game with no punts and no turnovers.

1556
01:19:19,720 --> 01:19:23,000
Speaker 6: In NFL history, only three instances of that, all three

1557
01:19:23,120 --> 01:19:26,599
Speaker 6: with Aiden Daniels this year, the playoff win last weekend

1558
01:19:26,960 --> 01:19:31,120
Speaker 6: and twice early in this season. So Washington against somebody

1559
01:19:31,240 --> 01:19:35,000
Speaker 6: for the NFC title next weekend, Kansas City against somebody

1560
01:19:35,120 --> 01:19:38,200
Speaker 6: for the NFC title, AFC title next weekend.

1561
01:19:38,720 --> 01:19:42,080
Speaker 2: Thank you so much to Seger great recap of just

1562
01:19:42,160 --> 01:19:45,679
Speaker 2: an insane night in Detroit as the Detroit Lions followed

1563
01:19:45,680 --> 01:19:48,479
Speaker 2: the Washington Commanders. Of course, also Kansas City advances to

1564
01:19:48,600 --> 01:19:51,680
Speaker 2: yet another AFC Championship game. But I'll tell you what,

1565

1580
01:20:50,400 --> 01:20:53,240
Speaker 2: their pre and postgame, so you know he is gonna

1581
01:20:53,280 --> 01:20:56,479
Speaker 2: have plenty to discuss as the Detroit Lions fall on

1582
01:20:56,840 --> 01:21:01,760
Speaker 2: Saturday night final score in Detroit, Washington five Detroit thirty one.

1583
01:21:02,960 --> 01:21:06,840
Speaker 2: The other early game, Kansas City beats Houston. Kansas City

1584
01:21:06,920 --> 01:21:11,680
Speaker 2: headed to their seventh straight AFC Championship game. Kind of

1585
01:21:11,720 --> 01:21:12,559
Speaker 2: crazy to think about.

1586
01:21:12,640 --> 01:21:13,519
Speaker 3: J Martin, you know, the.

1587
01:21:13,560 --> 01:21:17,280
Speaker 2: Guy that was calling the the NFC game, played Mahomes

1588
01:21:17,360 --> 01:21:20,400
Speaker 2: in his first AFC Championship game and then of course

1589
01:21:20,439 --> 01:21:22,479
Speaker 2: in a Super Bowl a few years later. So this

1590
01:21:22,600 --> 01:21:24,920
Speaker 2: streak has been going on for a while. But I'll

1591
01:21:24,920 --> 01:21:26,639
Speaker 2: tell you what, Jamar, this is what I want to do. Listen,

1592
01:21:26,880 --> 01:21:29,760
Speaker 2: if you're just joining us. We spent the first two

1593
01:21:29,880 --> 01:21:34,040
Speaker 2: hours really diving into Detroit Lions loss, what it means,

1594
01:21:35,520 --> 01:21:38,080
Speaker 2: you know, the big picture ramifications for the organization as

1595
01:21:38,120 --> 01:21:41,960
Speaker 2: they now could lose both coordinators. They obviously have question

1596
01:21:42,160 --> 01:21:44,519
Speaker 2: marks with some of their roster spots and this and

1597
01:21:44,600 --> 01:21:48,000
Speaker 2: that whatever, including Jared Goffu through three interceptions. If you

1598
01:21:48,080 --> 01:21:50,000
Speaker 2: missed any of that, go back and download the podcast,

1599
01:21:50,160 --> 01:21:52,679
Speaker 2: because I do want to start to look ahead to Sunday,

1600
01:21:52,760 --> 01:21:55,080
Speaker 2: J mart and I want to start to look ahead

1601
01:21:55,120 --> 01:21:58,599
Speaker 2: to just what is going to be an unbelievable game.

1602
01:21:59,360 --> 01:22:03,280
Speaker 2: Bill's hosting the Baltimore Ravens, and obviously, look there's two games.

1603
01:22:03,320 --> 01:22:06,479
Speaker 2: We'll get to Philly Los Angeles in a minute, but

1604
01:22:06,640 --> 01:22:11,880
Speaker 2: Buffalo hosting Baltimore. Just, I mean, I don't even know

1605
01:22:11,880 --> 01:22:13,599
Speaker 2: what there is to say, and I know that everybody

1606
01:22:13,680 --> 01:22:16,280
Speaker 2: on this network all week long has been talking about

1607
01:22:16,320 --> 01:22:20,760
Speaker 2: this game, but you know, I just as a football fan,

1608
01:22:21,280 --> 01:22:23,639
Speaker 2: we were hoping for this as we kind of saw

1609
01:22:23,720 --> 01:22:27,280
Speaker 2: how the bracket was gonna play itself out. And I'm

1610
01:22:27,320 --> 01:22:30,320
Speaker 2: just so excited because you know, we've had Lamar in

1611
01:22:30,360 --> 01:22:33,280
Speaker 2: the playoffs, We've had Josh Allen in the playoffs, but

1612
01:22:33,400 --> 01:22:35,360
Speaker 2: there's always been you know, there was the year where

1613
01:22:35,360 --> 01:22:37,360
Speaker 2: the Bills were really down, and then there's been a

1614
01:22:37,400 --> 01:22:39,439
Speaker 2: few years where Lamar has been banged up, and there's

1615
01:22:39,479 --> 01:22:41,840
Speaker 2: been a few years where the Ravens have disappointed where

1616
01:22:41,840 --> 01:22:44,720
Speaker 2: the Bills have disappointed. Both of these teams playing in

1617
01:22:44,720 --> 01:22:48,800
Speaker 2: an elite level, both of them obviously trying to exercise

1618
01:22:48,840 --> 01:22:51,759
Speaker 2: the demons from previous years, get a chance at Kansas

1619
01:22:51,800 --> 01:22:54,680
Speaker 2: City again next week, and obviously both hoping to get

1620
01:22:54,720 --> 01:22:58,200
Speaker 2: to their first super Bowl in this era and regime.

1621
01:22:58,400 --> 01:22:59,960
Speaker 2: For both Lamar Jackson and h.

1622
01:23:01,800 --> 01:23:04,519
Speaker 3: I mean, it's everything you want, the whole country is

1623
01:23:04,560 --> 01:23:07,040
Speaker 3: gonna watch the game. It's I mean, it's we're all

1624
01:23:07,160 --> 01:23:10,200
Speaker 3: going to be talking about it. And the only unfortunate

1625
01:23:10,280 --> 01:23:13,639
Speaker 3: thing about it is both these quarterbacks need to win

1626
01:23:13,720 --> 01:23:15,880
Speaker 3: the game, and the one that loses it, there's gonna

1627
01:23:15,880 --> 01:23:17,760
Speaker 3: be a lot said about them, and I'm not sure

1628
01:23:17,800 --> 01:23:22,240
Speaker 3: it's gonna be a fair fight, like because they could

1629
01:23:22,320 --> 01:23:24,600
Speaker 3: both go out there and play their guts out, but

1630
01:23:24,720 --> 01:23:27,960
Speaker 3: one of them still got to lose, and that becomes

1631
01:23:28,000 --> 01:23:31,240
Speaker 3: a I mean, it's just a huge It's just the

1632
01:23:31,280 --> 01:23:33,320
Speaker 3: reality of sports. Only one guy is gonna be able

1633
01:23:33,360 --> 01:23:37,960
Speaker 3: to win, and you look at it, your guess is

1634
01:23:38,000 --> 01:23:40,400
Speaker 3: as good as mine. Honestly, I think Buffalo might be

1635
01:23:40,520 --> 01:23:45,680
Speaker 3: the best team, but I think the most frightening might

1636
01:23:45,760 --> 01:23:48,639
Speaker 3: be Baltimore when it comes to their offense. I think

1637
01:23:48,680 --> 01:23:51,800
Speaker 3: I trust John Harball more than I trust Sean McDermott.

1638
01:23:52,439 --> 01:23:55,800
Speaker 3: But I think the question that everybody wants to try

1639
01:23:55,880 --> 01:23:58,320
Speaker 3: and find the answer to is to which quarterback is

1640
01:23:58,400 --> 01:24:04,519
Speaker 3: this game more important? And again, I think you could

1641
01:24:04,600 --> 01:24:08,960
Speaker 3: sell me on either argument. And I don't even know

1642
01:24:08,960 --> 01:24:10,920
Speaker 3: who the MVP is going to be at this stage.

1643
01:24:11,000 --> 01:24:13,920
Speaker 3: Based on the all pro voting, it could be Lamar. Again,

1644
01:24:14,160 --> 01:24:16,400
Speaker 3: if it's not him, it will be Josh Allen, and

1645
01:24:16,800 --> 01:24:19,120
Speaker 3: it would have been Allen for me this year. But

1646
01:24:19,320 --> 01:24:21,080
Speaker 3: I'm not going to argue if it goes to Lamar

1647
01:24:21,240 --> 01:24:24,320
Speaker 3: Jackson either. Allen is playing the best of his career

1648
01:24:24,439 --> 01:24:27,400
Speaker 3: right now. Lamar might be also, But Lamar's also got

1649
01:24:27,479 --> 01:24:30,840
Speaker 3: that safety blanket in Derrick Henry where it's not all

1650
01:24:31,000 --> 01:24:34,280
Speaker 3: on his back the way it has been in the past.

1651
01:24:34,640 --> 01:24:38,240
Speaker 3: So it just feels like to me that the team

1652
01:24:38,320 --> 01:24:41,000
Speaker 3: that makes fewer mistakes, it's gonna sound like analysis. It's

1653
01:24:41,160 --> 01:24:44,400
Speaker 3: that you could get at a dime store somewhere, But

1654
01:24:44,840 --> 01:24:46,880
Speaker 3: the team that makes fewer mistakes is gonna win. I

1655
01:24:46,960 --> 01:24:48,920
Speaker 3: mean we even saw that against I mean, look, the

1656
01:24:48,920 --> 01:24:50,920
Speaker 3: Commanders Lions games a little bit different, but they had

1657
01:24:51,120 --> 01:24:53,000
Speaker 3: the Lions turned the ball over five times. You're just

1658
01:24:53,080 --> 01:24:56,439
Speaker 3: not gonna win turn the ball over five times. If

1659
01:24:56,479 --> 01:24:58,880
Speaker 3: they both go on a spotless resume. Let's say that

1660
01:24:59,040 --> 01:25:01,439
Speaker 3: the quarterbacks just out of their minds. They both have

1661
01:25:01,680 --> 01:25:06,120
Speaker 3: like one twenty plus passer ratings and everything happens and

1662
01:25:06,240 --> 01:25:09,679
Speaker 3: you don't see any fumbles from Cook or Derrick Henry

1663
01:25:09,800 --> 01:25:12,559
Speaker 3: or whatever like that. It's just gonna turn on either

1664
01:25:12,600 --> 01:25:15,559
Speaker 3: a special team's play or who's got the ball last.

1665
01:25:16,560 --> 01:25:16,880
Speaker 2: I don't.

1666
01:25:17,200 --> 01:25:20,519
Speaker 3: I just I'm so excited to watch the game, and

1667
01:25:20,680 --> 01:25:26,720
Speaker 3: I have absolutely no real feeling that I am particularly

1668
01:25:26,880 --> 01:25:30,360
Speaker 3: convicted by one way or the other. I think I

1669
01:25:30,400 --> 01:25:34,439
Speaker 3: will lean Buffalo, but I'm not even sure that I

1670
01:25:34,520 --> 01:25:36,920
Speaker 3: can say that out loud. But without changing it, before

1671
01:25:36,960 --> 01:25:39,040
Speaker 3: i even get to the period in the sentence.

1672
01:25:40,960 --> 01:25:43,880
Speaker 2: I'll say a couple of things stand out leading into

1673
01:25:43,960 --> 01:25:47,639
Speaker 2: this game. Is that one, I do hope that, barring

1674
01:25:48,160 --> 01:25:51,360
Speaker 2: just an abomination of a performance by one of them,

1675
01:25:51,960 --> 01:25:55,519
Speaker 2: that the lead of the thing is not Oh that

1676
01:25:55,680 --> 01:25:57,599
Speaker 2: this guy sucks or this guy can't win the big

1677
01:25:57,640 --> 01:25:59,560
Speaker 2: one or whatever. I understand that, by the way, I

1678
01:25:59,600 --> 01:26:01,160
Speaker 2: understand it, But sometimes you got to talk about the

1679
01:26:01,240 --> 01:26:03,280
Speaker 2: losing team and the losing star player, because we just

1680
01:26:03,320 --> 01:26:05,160
Speaker 2: did it for two hours with the Detroit Lions. So

1681
01:26:05,200 --> 01:26:10,000
Speaker 2: I'm not saying that whoever loses is immune to criticism,

1682
01:26:10,120 --> 01:26:12,120
Speaker 2: and we'll see how the game actually plays out before

1683
01:26:12,240 --> 01:26:15,280
Speaker 2: make any sweeping judgments. But listen, this is sports. Only

1684
01:26:15,400 --> 01:26:17,200
Speaker 2: one team can raise that trophy at the end of

1685
01:26:17,240 --> 01:26:20,479
Speaker 2: the year, and one of these teams is not going

1686
01:26:20,520 --> 01:26:23,439
Speaker 2: to make it to Kansas City next week. So that's

1687
01:26:23,560 --> 01:26:27,880
Speaker 2: first second of all, I totally agree with you in

1688
01:26:28,080 --> 01:26:32,120
Speaker 2: terms of just I don't know how you can feel

1689
01:26:32,200 --> 01:26:35,439
Speaker 2: good picking either side. Both teams are obviously playing at

1690
01:26:35,479 --> 01:26:36,400
Speaker 2: such an elite level.

1691
01:26:37,320 --> 01:26:37,479
Speaker 8: You know.

1692
01:26:37,840 --> 01:26:41,559
Speaker 2: The Bills, of course, did lose that week's eighteen game

1693
01:26:41,640 --> 01:26:45,040
Speaker 2: to the Patriots. That meant absolutely nothing. But also before that,

1694
01:26:45,920 --> 01:26:48,719
Speaker 2: they were on what they had won at that point.

1695
01:26:49,800 --> 01:26:53,760
Speaker 2: Let's see here ten of their previous eleven games, so

1696
01:26:54,200 --> 01:26:58,200
Speaker 2: they were playing well. Baltimore's playing really well. As far

1697
01:26:58,280 --> 01:27:02,799
Speaker 2: as which quarterback needs it more, I'll give you my opinion, Jmartin,

1698
01:27:02,840 --> 01:27:05,680
Speaker 2: I'll toss it back to you. I think either one

1699
01:27:05,800 --> 01:27:09,479
Speaker 2: is gonna face criticism, maybe unfairly after the game. I

1700
01:27:09,600 --> 01:27:11,320
Speaker 2: do kind of think it's I do think kind of

1701
01:27:11,360 --> 01:27:14,479
Speaker 2: think it's Lamar. We've seen Josh Allen go toe for

1702
01:27:14,600 --> 01:27:19,519
Speaker 2: toe with Patrick Mahomes. They led them at the half.

1703
01:27:20,160 --> 01:27:22,080
Speaker 2: Was it last year? I guess it was last year? Yeah,

1704
01:27:22,120 --> 01:27:25,680
Speaker 2: in the in this round, they led Kansas City at

1705
01:27:25,680 --> 01:27:28,479
Speaker 2: the half. We all remember the thirteen second game when

1706
01:27:28,520 --> 01:27:31,439
Speaker 2: they had the lead with thirteen seconds to go. I

1707
01:27:31,600 --> 01:27:36,160
Speaker 2: don't I think it's gonna be again, not knowing how

1708
01:27:36,280 --> 01:27:40,240
Speaker 2: the game plays out, I think if Buffalo does not win,

1709
01:27:40,840 --> 01:27:43,439
Speaker 2: I think it will be more an indictment on maybe

1710
01:27:43,640 --> 01:27:48,479
Speaker 2: the future of Sean McDermott. Then it will be Josh

1711
01:27:48,520 --> 01:27:51,320
Speaker 2: Allen's ability to go head to head with the elite

1712
01:27:51,400 --> 01:27:55,120
Speaker 2: quarterbacks in this league with Lamar Jackson. And I know

1713
01:27:55,200 --> 01:27:57,120
Speaker 2: I've said it a million times because he actually caught

1714
01:27:57,200 --> 01:27:59,120
Speaker 2: me saying it again to lead the show when we

1715
01:27:59,200 --> 01:28:02,040
Speaker 2: were talking to Troy Washington with Lamar Jackson, I think

1716
01:28:02,160 --> 01:28:05,920
Speaker 2: some of last year should fall on the play calling

1717
01:28:06,000 --> 01:28:08,320
Speaker 2: and the coordinator, and it felt like they panicked when

1718
01:28:08,320 --> 01:28:11,800
Speaker 2: they fell behind early. But I'll also say I do

1719
01:28:11,920 --> 01:28:13,960
Speaker 2: think if he loses, I do think it becomes a

1720
01:28:14,000 --> 01:28:17,320
Speaker 2: bigger question of okay man, this is now year five,

1721
01:28:17,400 --> 01:28:20,840
Speaker 2: year six of this couldn't get past Patrick Mahomes last year,

1722
01:28:20,880 --> 01:28:24,519
Speaker 2: couldn't get past Josh Allen. This year, what is you know,

1723
01:28:24,840 --> 01:28:28,639
Speaker 2: what is Lamar Jackson in the postseason, So we'll see

1724
01:28:29,240 --> 01:28:33,960
Speaker 2: again tough to say without knowing who actually gets to win.

1725
01:28:34,080 --> 01:28:35,800
Speaker 2: I think that that and by the way, the other

1726
01:28:35,880 --> 01:28:37,519
Speaker 2: thing that you and I have talked about a million times,

1727
01:28:37,560 --> 01:28:40,560
Speaker 2: and I think it's important as well, got Lamar a

1728
01:28:40,640 --> 01:28:42,519
Speaker 2: lot of help in the in the offseason. You know,

1729
01:28:42,680 --> 01:28:45,559
Speaker 2: got him Derrick Henry. Josh Allen, on the other hand,

1730
01:28:45,920 --> 01:28:48,360
Speaker 2: lost a couple of star players, headlined by Stefan Diggs,

1731
01:28:48,439 --> 01:28:50,280
Speaker 2: some guys on defense. This was the year that his

1732
01:28:50,479 --> 01:28:52,240
Speaker 2: contract really kicked in and they had to make some

1733
01:28:52,320 --> 01:28:55,960
Speaker 2: tough decisions. So I think there's probably a little bit

1734
01:28:56,040 --> 01:28:58,439
Speaker 2: more uh press. It's weird. I think I've said this.

1735
01:28:58,560 --> 01:29:02,040
Speaker 2: I think there's more pressure on Lamar individually, but probably

1736
01:29:02,120 --> 01:29:04,600
Speaker 2: the Buffalo Bills as an organization.

1737
01:29:05,280 --> 01:29:07,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, I mean I agree with all of that.

1738
01:29:07,360 --> 01:29:10,160
Speaker 3: The only thing I actually don't know if this is

1739
01:29:10,280 --> 01:29:14,960
Speaker 3: in the favor of Lamar or against Lamar. But Lamar

1740
01:29:15,120 --> 01:29:19,160
Speaker 3: is a two time MVP. Josh Allen's a zero time MVP,

1741
01:29:20,080 --> 01:29:23,719
Speaker 3: so he has no real accolades to go with everything

1742
01:29:23,800 --> 01:29:24,720
Speaker 3: that we've seen him do.

1743
01:29:25,400 --> 01:29:27,360
Speaker 2: So if they get beat again, who did you argue

1744
01:29:27,360 --> 01:29:28,400
Speaker 2: that makes it worse though?

1745
01:29:28,600 --> 01:29:30,240
Speaker 3: Well, see that's what I'm saying, Like, I think you

1746
01:29:30,280 --> 01:29:32,160
Speaker 3: can make this argument either way, and I'm not sure

1747
01:29:32,240 --> 01:29:35,040
Speaker 3: if this plays two or against one or the other. Like,

1748
01:29:35,200 --> 01:29:39,680
Speaker 3: I think what you're saying is right basically, But if

1749
01:29:39,720 --> 01:29:43,799
Speaker 3: Allen gets beat again, then that means he still doesn't

1750
01:29:43,800 --> 01:29:48,479
Speaker 3: hold the MVPs yet and he still hasn't advanced to

1751
01:29:48,560 --> 01:29:51,200
Speaker 3: a Super Bowl in his career. Lamar would still have

1752
01:29:51,280 --> 01:29:53,560
Speaker 3: to see the Chiefs next week, but this would be

1753
01:29:53,720 --> 01:29:56,160
Speaker 3: beating a guy that might be the front runner for

1754
01:29:56,200 --> 01:29:59,800
Speaker 3: the MVP after already winning two MVPs and advancing to

1755
01:29:59,880 --> 01:30:03,080
Speaker 3: a conference championship game for the second scutive year or whatever.

1756
01:30:03,680 --> 01:30:05,960
Speaker 3: So I think that that's part of it. I think

1757
01:30:06,000 --> 01:30:10,000
Speaker 3: that Lamar already has achieved more. His accolades are already there,

1758
01:30:10,200 --> 01:30:12,160
Speaker 3: his trophies are already on the wall in a way

1759
01:30:12,200 --> 01:30:15,200
Speaker 3: that Josh Allens aren't. So we just keep saying Josh

1760
01:30:15,240 --> 01:30:18,080
Speaker 3: Allen's good because we have eyes and we understand how

1761
01:30:18,120 --> 01:30:20,320
Speaker 3: good he is. But at the same time, he hasn't

1762
01:30:20,400 --> 01:30:25,040
Speaker 3: done anything really as of yet, so I don't Again,

1763
01:30:25,080 --> 01:30:27,200
Speaker 3: I don't know if that means that there's more on Lamar,

1764
01:30:27,479 --> 01:30:31,040
Speaker 3: because you've got to eventually win in the playoffs to

1765
01:30:31,240 --> 01:30:35,240
Speaker 3: validate all of what you've already been given in terms

1766
01:30:35,280 --> 01:30:37,000
Speaker 3: of awards and all that. So I don't know if

1767
01:30:37,040 --> 01:30:40,160
Speaker 3: I made or broke the case for either guy. Again,

1768
01:30:40,280 --> 01:30:41,920
Speaker 3: I think that we're both of the same mind, and

1769
01:30:41,960 --> 01:30:44,360
Speaker 3: I think most people are this way. I just so

1770
01:30:44,640 --> 01:30:47,400
Speaker 3: both guys go out and fall out and it comes

1771
01:30:47,479 --> 01:30:50,120
Speaker 3: down to the final possession so that you can feel

1772
01:30:50,160 --> 01:30:53,160
Speaker 3: good about everything that you saw and it can just

1773
01:30:53,240 --> 01:30:56,920
Speaker 3: go down as one of those iconic performances, iconic games

1774
01:30:56,920 --> 01:30:59,160
Speaker 3: where one team had to lose. If we get Bill's

1775
01:30:59,240 --> 01:31:04,519
Speaker 3: Chiefs Volume two here with Ravens Bills, I think that'll

1776
01:31:04,560 --> 01:31:07,800
Speaker 3: be an all time classic performance. What I would rather

1777
01:31:07,960 --> 01:31:11,040
Speaker 3: not see from either guy is a bad day. Sure,

1778
01:31:11,120 --> 01:31:13,679
Speaker 3: I really don't want that. I don't want that for them,

1779
01:31:14,080 --> 01:31:16,040
Speaker 3: and I don't want it for the bottom feeders in

1780
01:31:16,120 --> 01:31:18,400
Speaker 3: the industry that will use it to try and bury

1781
01:31:18,479 --> 01:31:21,120
Speaker 3: one of these guys, because I think it's complete garbage.

1782
01:31:21,600 --> 01:31:23,800
Speaker 2: Well, make our official picked in the show. But let's

1783
01:31:23,800 --> 01:31:26,960
Speaker 2: switch gears. Let's talk about the other game. Obviously, Los

1784
01:31:27,000 --> 01:31:30,040
Speaker 2: Angeles Rams coming off the Monday night winds, so a

1785
01:31:30,080 --> 01:31:33,080
Speaker 2: little bit of a short week. Philly obviously played on

1786
01:31:33,280 --> 01:31:36,519
Speaker 2: Sunday instead of Monday. But the game is in Philly.

1787
01:31:36,720 --> 01:31:39,000
Speaker 2: They're expecting potential snow. By the way, should mention the

1788
01:31:39,040 --> 01:31:42,240
Speaker 2: weather in Buffalo is not going to be much better,

1789
01:31:42,360 --> 01:31:46,000
Speaker 2: but in Philly they could have snow. But they are

1790
01:31:46,120 --> 01:31:49,280
Speaker 2: hosting the Los Angeles Rams. Of course, these two teams

1791
01:31:49,320 --> 01:31:52,280
Speaker 2: played earlier in the year, kind of like the Saquon

1792
01:31:52,400 --> 01:31:55,360
Speaker 2: Barkley coming out party. I think that was really the

1793
01:31:55,439 --> 01:31:57,639
Speaker 2: game that it was like, Oh, this guy should probably

1794
01:31:57,640 --> 01:32:02,160
Speaker 2: be in consideration for MVP. Two rushing touchdowns of seventy

1795
01:32:02,240 --> 01:32:06,160
Speaker 2: plus yards in that game, and I'll tell you, I'm

1796
01:32:06,200 --> 01:32:10,639
Speaker 2: fascinated by this game. And I'm curious too. Eagles didn't

1797
01:32:10,840 --> 01:32:14,040
Speaker 2: really play their best football last week as Jalen Hurts

1798
01:32:14,320 --> 01:32:16,840
Speaker 2: is still trying to come back from injury. The Rams,

1799
01:32:16,880 --> 01:32:19,080
Speaker 2: on the other hand, played about as well as you can.

1800
01:32:19,560 --> 01:32:21,800
Speaker 2: So I think it becomes an interesting conversation, kind of

1801
01:32:21,840 --> 01:32:23,280
Speaker 2: like what you were just saying, Jason. You could look

1802
01:32:23,280 --> 01:32:25,559
Speaker 2: at it either way. You were talking about Lamar versus

1803
01:32:25,640 --> 01:32:27,960
Speaker 2: Josh Allen, I'll talk about it Eagles versus Rams.

1804
01:32:28,200 --> 01:32:28,840
Speaker 3: You could look at it.

1805
01:32:28,840 --> 01:32:30,920
Speaker 2: And say, well, well, you know, Eagles coming off a

1806
01:32:31,000 --> 01:32:33,839
Speaker 2: bad performance, Rams looked awesome. That's bad news for the Eagles.

1807
01:32:34,200 --> 01:32:37,200
Speaker 2: You could also say that Rams can't really play much better.

1808
01:32:37,880 --> 01:32:42,400
Speaker 2: Eagles certainly can. Maybe that is advantage Philly in Philly.

1809
01:32:42,640 --> 01:32:43,720
Speaker 2: What are your thoughts on this one?

1810
01:32:44,720 --> 01:32:47,000
Speaker 3: So to the weather real quick in Buffalo, It's going

1811
01:32:47,040 --> 01:32:49,280
Speaker 3: to be nineteen degrees, but it feels like temperature of

1812
01:32:49,320 --> 01:32:52,760
Speaker 3: who knows what, and then thirty four with almost guaranteed

1813
01:32:52,800 --> 01:32:55,760
Speaker 3: snow happening any other game. Let me just be real

1814
01:32:55,840 --> 01:32:58,879
Speaker 3: about this. I think the Rams are playing better football

1815
01:32:58,960 --> 01:33:01,680
Speaker 3: right now than the Eagles, but I don't think they

1816
01:33:01,720 --> 01:33:06,599
Speaker 3: can win in this environment. This RAMS team going into

1817
01:33:06,760 --> 01:33:10,120
Speaker 3: that cold temperature, I just don't think that's a recipe

1818
01:33:10,200 --> 01:33:13,200
Speaker 3: for success. I do not think this Rams team is

1819
01:33:13,240 --> 01:33:15,479
Speaker 3: built to go in there and do their thing in

1820
01:33:15,640 --> 01:33:17,880
Speaker 3: that kind of weather. I'm not saying they're soft, because

1821
01:33:17,920 --> 01:33:20,880
Speaker 3: I no way do I believe that they are. I

1822
01:33:21,040 --> 01:33:23,719
Speaker 3: just think it's a tall order to go into cold, cold,

1823
01:33:23,920 --> 01:33:27,640
Speaker 3: cold in January and be able to deal with that

1824
01:33:27,760 --> 01:33:31,240
Speaker 3: Eagles defense that I think becomes the biggest difference. And

1825
01:33:32,479 --> 01:33:35,400
Speaker 3: if it does get into a ground game, this can

1826
01:33:35,479 --> 01:33:38,360
Speaker 3: be a seguon Barkley all day kind of day where

1827
01:33:38,439 --> 01:33:41,120
Speaker 3: they're not throwing it very much, which they don't really

1828
01:33:41,200 --> 01:33:45,000
Speaker 3: want to do anyway. Aj Brown can continue reading self

1829
01:33:45,040 --> 01:33:49,320
Speaker 3: help books on the sidelines if need be, but Barkley

1830
01:33:49,360 --> 01:33:52,120
Speaker 3: can go over one hundred easy, the defense can grab

1831
01:33:52,200 --> 01:33:54,560
Speaker 3: a couple of turnovers. I just feel like this is

1832
01:33:54,600 --> 01:33:57,679
Speaker 3: the perfect recipe for an Eagles win. If the weather

1833
01:33:57,840 --> 01:34:00,200
Speaker 3: we're different, If it was a little bit more of

1834
01:34:00,280 --> 01:34:03,040
Speaker 3: a mild day and all those things. I might feel

1835
01:34:03,080 --> 01:34:05,360
Speaker 3: differently right now, because I do think that the Rams

1836
01:34:05,400 --> 01:34:09,160
Speaker 3: are trending in better in a better position than the

1837
01:34:09,240 --> 01:34:11,800
Speaker 3: Eagles are in terms of the football that I've seen

1838
01:34:11,840 --> 01:34:14,320
Speaker 3: them both play over the last month. But I just

1839
01:34:14,400 --> 01:34:16,800
Speaker 3: think it's the wrong matchup at the wrong time, in

1840
01:34:16,880 --> 01:34:19,080
Speaker 3: the wrong city with the wrong climate.

1841
01:34:19,840 --> 01:34:21,599
Speaker 2: I think that's all totally fair. I think the big

1842
01:34:21,640 --> 01:34:23,960
Speaker 2: thing that stands out to me, you know, the Rams

1843
01:34:24,120 --> 01:34:28,720
Speaker 2: defensive line was so good last game. I think the

1844
01:34:28,920 --> 01:34:32,519
Speaker 2: what was it, ten tackles for lost nine sacks and

1845
01:34:32,600 --> 01:34:34,640
Speaker 2: obviously gets Philly. You're just not gonna be able to

1846
01:34:34,760 --> 01:34:38,880
Speaker 2: do that. No, and so again we'll save our picks

1847
01:34:38,880 --> 01:34:40,160
Speaker 2: for the end of the show. But I think that's

1848
01:34:40,200 --> 01:34:42,679
Speaker 2: gonna be the X factor. Philly obviously has a much

1849
01:34:42,800 --> 01:34:46,160
Speaker 2: much better offensive line than the Minnesota Vikings. By the way, Jamart,

1850
01:34:46,200 --> 01:34:48,160
Speaker 2: this is the part that sucks about a three hour show.

1851
01:34:48,720 --> 01:34:51,400
Speaker 2: I got so many Sam Darnold takes, and I'm just

1852
01:34:51,520 --> 01:34:53,320
Speaker 2: gonna I'm probably gonna have to take them to the

1853
01:34:53,360 --> 01:34:55,320
Speaker 2: grave because I don't think we're gonna get to them today.

1854
01:34:55,800 --> 01:34:57,680
Speaker 2: Because I don't want to discredit the Rams. They're the

1855
01:34:57,720 --> 01:35:01,439
Speaker 2: ones that advanced. But yeah, I got some Sam Donald takes.

1856
01:35:01,479 --> 01:35:04,200
Speaker 3: So Donald made I think Donald made the offseason a

1857
01:35:04,240 --> 01:35:05,559
Speaker 3: lot easier for the Vikings.

1858
01:35:06,240 --> 01:35:10,080
Speaker 2: He did his last two games, all I'll say. And

1859
01:35:10,160 --> 01:35:12,640
Speaker 2: I think we talked about this in the lead up.

1860
01:35:12,720 --> 01:35:14,160
Speaker 2: I think we might have even talked about it in

1861
01:35:14,240 --> 01:35:17,080
Speaker 2: the lead up to the Lions game, but certainly in

1862
01:35:17,200 --> 01:35:19,559
Speaker 2: the lead up to the Rams game. You look at

1863
01:35:19,600 --> 01:35:21,479
Speaker 2: that hot streak that they went on the back end

1864
01:35:21,479 --> 01:35:24,320
Speaker 2: of the year. Went over the Colts, went over the Jags,

1865
01:35:24,360 --> 01:35:27,240
Speaker 2: went over the Titans, two wins over the Bears, went

1866
01:35:27,320 --> 01:35:29,920
Speaker 2: over the Falcons, and what ultimately was the second to

1867
01:35:30,080 --> 01:35:36,040
Speaker 2: last start of Kirk Cousins time, probably in Atlanta, you know,

1868
01:35:36,160 --> 01:35:38,439
Speaker 2: and then even went over the Packers. Doesn't look quite

1869
01:35:38,439 --> 01:35:40,400
Speaker 2: as good after what happened with the Packers the last

1870
01:35:40,439 --> 01:35:41,400
Speaker 2: few weeks, So you.

1871
01:35:41,439 --> 01:35:43,559
Speaker 3: Know what, it kind of feels like just a little bit.

1872
01:35:43,600 --> 01:35:46,400
Speaker 3: I'm not saying to this because they're a really talented team, right,

1873
01:35:47,400 --> 01:35:50,640
Speaker 3: that Giants team that made the playoffs that ended that

1874
01:35:50,760 --> 01:35:54,120
Speaker 3: resulted in Daniel Jones getting money, yeah, and setting that

1875
01:35:54,240 --> 01:35:57,840
Speaker 3: franchise back and inevitably leading to Saquon Barkley. Now now

1876
01:35:57,920 --> 01:36:01,599
Speaker 3: is the Philadelphia Eagle that Giants team that we all thought,

1877
01:36:02,000 --> 01:36:05,680
Speaker 3: at least this show all thought, Yeah, that's not legit, Like,

1878
01:36:05,880 --> 01:36:09,120
Speaker 3: that's not coming back that way again next year. I

1879
01:36:09,240 --> 01:36:11,720
Speaker 3: think the Vikings are in a much better position. But

1880
01:36:11,800 --> 01:36:14,120
Speaker 3: I think you have the same danger of the Daniel

1881
01:36:14,200 --> 01:36:16,360
Speaker 3: Jones effect right now that you need to dodge.

1882
01:36:17,400 --> 01:36:19,360
Speaker 2: So I agree with that one hundred percent. Well, now

1883
01:36:19,400 --> 01:36:21,120
Speaker 2: that we're talking Donald, we can talk it really quick.

1884
01:36:21,160 --> 01:36:23,519
Speaker 2: Of course, the Vikings lose in the divisional round to

1885
01:36:24,120 --> 01:36:27,200
Speaker 2: the Los Angeles Rams. You know, I'll just say really quick.

1886
01:36:27,479 --> 01:36:29,760
Speaker 2: Is I think it works kind of both ways. And

1887
01:36:30,240 --> 01:36:33,439
Speaker 2: what I think is, first of all, I know that

1888
01:36:33,800 --> 01:36:36,960
Speaker 2: there is simply go let's say he doesn't stay in Minnesota.

1889
01:36:38,160 --> 01:36:41,679
Speaker 2: I understand that there is going to be the supply

1890
01:36:41,840 --> 01:36:47,439
Speaker 2: and demand of teams that need quarterbacks versus teams the

1891
01:36:47,520 --> 01:36:49,880
Speaker 2: difference between supplying demand of teams that are going to

1892
01:36:50,040 --> 01:36:52,800
Speaker 2: need quarterbacks versus the quarterbacks that are available. We know

1893
01:36:52,880 --> 01:36:55,559
Speaker 2: it's a week draft. Then you're talking about an old

1894
01:36:55,680 --> 01:36:59,720
Speaker 2: Kirk Cousins, maybe at old Aaron Rodgers. I understand Sam

1895
01:36:59,760 --> 01:37:03,200
Speaker 2: darn doesn't look terrible relative to the competition, but I

1896
01:37:03,280 --> 01:37:05,800
Speaker 2: would have to sit there and say, you know, if

1897
01:37:05,840 --> 01:37:08,320
Speaker 2: you can't do it with Kevin. When I say do it,

1898
01:37:08,400 --> 01:37:11,120
Speaker 2: I mean when it win beyond a bunch of regular

1899
01:37:11,160 --> 01:37:13,040
Speaker 2: season games, I mean the biggest games of the year.

1900
01:37:13,120 --> 01:37:15,800
Speaker 2: He was not good. You can't do it with Kevin

1901
01:37:15,840 --> 01:37:19,240
Speaker 2: O'Connell calling plays, Justin Jefferson at wide receiver, a good

1902
01:37:19,360 --> 01:37:22,679
Speaker 2: run game. I just have doubts that you can pretty

1903
01:37:22,720 --> 01:37:24,439
Speaker 2: much do it anywhere. Like if I'm the Raiders and

1904
01:37:24,479 --> 01:37:27,920
Speaker 2: I'm picking seventh and I'm not gonna get Shadora kim Ward,

1905
01:37:28,000 --> 01:37:30,720
Speaker 2: let's work under that assumption. It's like, I don't know

1906
01:37:30,840 --> 01:37:34,600
Speaker 2: that I feel great, you know, signing Sam Darnold. So

1907
01:37:34,760 --> 01:37:37,600
Speaker 2: that's one. Then to the reverse of it is, you

1908
01:37:37,680 --> 01:37:39,599
Speaker 2: know all of this like three or four weeks ago, Well,

1909
01:37:39,640 --> 01:37:41,880
Speaker 2: you can't hit it over to JJ McCarthy. Now, it's like,

1910
01:37:42,720 --> 01:37:46,639
Speaker 2: I don't know JJ McCarthy with Justin Jefferson, with Kevin

1911
01:37:46,640 --> 01:37:48,960
Speaker 2: O'Connell callen plays, I don't know. I mean, I think

1912
01:37:49,040 --> 01:37:50,200
Speaker 2: I think they're still pretty good team.

1913
01:37:50,240 --> 01:37:52,320
Speaker 3: Next year, you know, yeah, I mean I agree. I mean,

1914
01:37:52,320 --> 01:37:54,280
Speaker 3: I don't know what McCarthy's going to be as a pro.

1915
01:37:55,320 --> 01:37:58,160
Speaker 3: We'll find out. But I know what Kevin O'Connell has

1916
01:37:58,200 --> 01:38:00,760
Speaker 3: said about him. I do think that there's no reason

1917
01:38:00,840 --> 01:38:02,840
Speaker 3: to think you don't put him out there and find

1918
01:38:02,880 --> 01:38:06,040
Speaker 3: out like that. If you believe he's the guy, go

1919
01:38:06,080 --> 01:38:08,120
Speaker 3: ahead and do it now. Like like to what your

1920
01:38:08,160 --> 01:38:10,559
Speaker 3: point about the Raiders, I mean, are the Browns going

1921
01:38:10,640 --> 01:38:12,920
Speaker 3: to draft another quarterback at this stage? I don't know.

1922
01:38:13,120 --> 01:38:15,120
Speaker 3: Are they going to bring in a Sam Donald? They could,

1923
01:38:15,280 --> 01:38:18,400
Speaker 3: because Sam Donald would advance them a little bit and

1924
01:38:18,520 --> 01:38:20,639
Speaker 3: help them and probably wouldn't cost a ton of money.

1925
01:38:20,840 --> 01:38:23,640
Speaker 3: Some team will do that, some team that wants to

1926
01:38:23,720 --> 01:38:26,519
Speaker 3: get better but isn't able to get to the top

1927
01:38:27,240 --> 01:38:30,000
Speaker 3: or doesn't have the quarterback, so you bring in that guy,

1928
01:38:30,000 --> 01:38:31,760
Speaker 3: and maybe he's a bridge for a year or two

1929
01:38:32,479 --> 01:38:35,240
Speaker 3: who has built a little bit of confidence. But I

1930
01:38:35,400 --> 01:38:38,120
Speaker 3: do think you're right, you better have a whole lot

1931
01:38:38,200 --> 01:38:42,439
Speaker 3: around him, because even with all of that, and you

1932
01:38:42,560 --> 01:38:45,679
Speaker 3: even mentioned Addison Hawkinson and some of these other weapons

1933
01:38:45,720 --> 01:38:48,519
Speaker 3: that he has on top of everything else, a solid

1934
01:38:48,600 --> 01:38:50,840
Speaker 3: defense and Brian Flores who probably won't even be there

1935
01:38:50,920 --> 01:38:55,080
Speaker 3: next year. You know, all of that, he still came

1936
01:38:55,160 --> 01:38:57,439
Speaker 3: up small in those big moments, and I'm not sure

1937
01:38:57,439 --> 01:38:59,240
Speaker 3: he's built for him I think he might have been

1938
01:38:59,280 --> 01:39:00,960
Speaker 3: coming out of colleg but I think there was a

1939
01:39:01,000 --> 01:39:04,720
Speaker 3: lot of damage done to his psyche early on with

1940
01:39:04,880 --> 01:39:08,439
Speaker 3: the Jets, and so those tendencies show back up when

1941
01:39:08,479 --> 01:39:10,320
Speaker 3: he's pressured or when he faces stress.

1942
01:39:11,080 --> 01:39:14,240
Speaker 2: There's no doubt about it. Vikings lose, Rams advanced, Rams

1943
01:39:14,320 --> 01:39:17,200
Speaker 2: and Eagles play the early game on Sunday, and then

1944
01:39:17,280 --> 01:39:20,000
Speaker 2: of course the late one, six thirty Eastern, the one

01:40:30,200 --> 01:40:35,960
Speaker 2: Lions falling to the Washington Commanders by two touchdowns in

1970
01:40:36,120 --> 01:40:39,120

01:40:59,439 --> 01:40:59,880
Speaker 3: So JM.

1980
01:41:00,600 --> 01:41:03,080
Speaker 2: We got to spend a few minutes talking about this

1981
01:41:03,360 --> 01:41:09,400
Speaker 2: situation in Dallas. It's just such a debacle. It's such

1982
01:41:09,439 --> 01:41:13,840
Speaker 2: a debacle. We've spent so much time talking about this organization,

1983
01:41:15,240 --> 01:41:18,840
Speaker 2: everything that has gone on. Well, the season ends a

1984
01:41:18,920 --> 01:41:22,200
Speaker 2: few weeks ago, they bring you know, Mike McCarthy gets

1985
01:41:22,200 --> 01:41:25,519
Speaker 2: to the finish line with no contract. Then they drag

1986
01:41:25,600 --> 01:41:28,160
Speaker 2: it out negotiating with him. Are they gonna bring him back?

1987
01:41:28,200 --> 01:41:28,560
Speaker 3: Are they not?

1988
01:41:29,320 --> 01:41:32,080
Speaker 2: They can't agree to terms. He walks he may be

1989
01:41:32,160 --> 01:41:34,040
Speaker 2: a head coach next year. He might not be because

1990
01:41:34,360 --> 01:41:36,519
Speaker 2: the Bears feels like the obvious spot and they want

1991
01:41:36,560 --> 01:41:39,080
Speaker 2: to interview every single human being under the sun, and

1992
01:41:39,200 --> 01:41:41,880
Speaker 2: it's getting embarrassing over there. But I bring it up

1993
01:41:41,960 --> 01:41:46,479
Speaker 2: because they completely mishandle this thing, and really I think

1994
01:41:46,520 --> 01:41:50,920
Speaker 2: that to me, there's two different cowboys conversations. There is

1995
01:41:51,080 --> 01:41:55,240
Speaker 2: the Dion conversation, which I certainly think picked up steam

1996
01:41:55,360 --> 01:41:57,400
Speaker 2: over the course of the week. If you believe, if

1997
01:41:57,439 --> 01:42:00,439
Speaker 2: you don't believe, whatever, but you know, we what what

1998
01:42:00,600 --> 01:42:03,840
Speaker 2: was it? Edward or reporting basically that Dion would accept

1999
01:42:03,880 --> 01:42:07,640
Speaker 2: the job if offered. My whole thing is this, and

2000
01:42:07,760 --> 01:42:10,160
Speaker 2: I know Kellen Moore potentially could be in play there

2001
01:42:10,160 --> 01:42:14,680
Speaker 2: as well. My whole thing is I almost feel like

2002
01:42:15,600 --> 01:42:19,360
Speaker 2: you might have to seriously pursue Dion because I don't

2003
01:42:19,479 --> 01:42:21,880
Speaker 2: know what kind of coach would want this job.

2004
01:42:21,920 --> 01:42:22,000
Speaker 7: Now.

2005
01:42:22,040 --> 01:42:25,200
Speaker 2: I understand there's only thirty two of these things and whatever,

2006
01:42:26,080 --> 01:42:29,240
Speaker 2: but the counterpoint is you're stuck with Dak, you have

2007
01:42:29,560 --> 01:42:33,880
Speaker 2: no cap flexibility. Jerry's just off his rocker at this point.

2008
01:42:35,000 --> 01:42:38,960
Speaker 2: I guess what I want to start by asking you

2009
01:42:39,240 --> 01:42:43,080
Speaker 2: putting Deanna side, is this an attractive job? Because to me,

2010
01:42:43,360 --> 01:42:46,280
Speaker 2: if you have options, I just don't know why you

2011
01:42:46,320 --> 01:42:49,000
Speaker 2: would take this. And then the counterpoint to that is

2012
01:42:49,080 --> 01:42:51,160
Speaker 2: the people that don't have options are probably gonna be

2013
01:42:51,240 --> 01:42:53,360
Speaker 2: worse candidates than Mike McCarthy. I don't think it's a

2014
01:42:53,400 --> 01:42:55,920
Speaker 2: good job, and I think anybody that has options I

2015
01:42:55,960 --> 01:42:58,080
Speaker 2: would not take it. What are your thoughts.

2016
01:42:59,439 --> 01:43:01,439
Speaker 3: Would you like to be the Lakers head coach? If

2017
01:43:01,520 --> 01:43:05,320
Speaker 3: Lebron James wasn't a Laker, if he was not part

2018
01:43:05,360 --> 01:43:08,240
Speaker 3: of the franchise, and really probably even Anthony Davis might

2019
01:43:08,320 --> 01:43:13,080
Speaker 3: not be there either, because it's still the franchise, rights

2020
01:43:13,080 --> 01:43:16,080
Speaker 3: still the Dallas Cowboys. You know, it's different in terms

2021
01:43:16,120 --> 01:43:18,800
Speaker 3: of how it's talked about, how much coverage it gets,

2022
01:43:19,439 --> 01:43:23,799
Speaker 3: all of that kind of thing, but it's a disaster

2023
01:43:24,000 --> 01:43:29,240
Speaker 3: waiting to happen. Also, because your quarterback situation is what

2024
01:43:29,400 --> 01:43:32,880
Speaker 3: it is. It's not bad, but it's always going to

2025
01:43:32,920 --> 01:43:36,240
Speaker 3: be over criticized. Like everyone that's ever played quarterback. There

2026
01:43:36,400 --> 01:43:41,200
Speaker 3: for the most part, you've got some personality, certainly in

2027
01:43:41,280 --> 01:43:44,320
Speaker 3: the locker room. But the biggest problem is the problem

2028
01:43:44,400 --> 01:43:47,240
Speaker 3: that's always been there, and that's the owner. Because the

2029
01:43:47,320 --> 01:43:51,560
Speaker 3: owner wants to be the star, and it gets in

2030
01:43:51,680 --> 01:43:55,200
Speaker 3: the way of the success of the team. The wins

2031
01:43:55,240 --> 01:43:58,120
Speaker 3: and losses matter, but I think there's a seiling to that,

2032
01:43:58,360 --> 01:44:02,240
Speaker 3: there's a win loss that that it can't rise to

2033
01:44:02,360 --> 01:44:05,200
Speaker 3: be more than the ego of the owner. I've heard

2034
01:44:05,280 --> 01:44:07,200
Speaker 3: before about how much he wants to win and all

2035
01:44:07,280 --> 01:44:10,639
Speaker 3: this other kind of stuff. I just if that's the case,

2036
01:44:11,840 --> 01:44:14,639
Speaker 3: then he needs to surround himself with some realists as

2037
01:44:14,680 --> 01:44:17,800
Speaker 3: opposed to yes men. He's to surround himself with people

2038
01:44:17,840 --> 01:44:19,599
Speaker 3: that will say, well, if you want to win, Jerry,

2039
01:44:19,920 --> 01:44:22,400
Speaker 3: stop doing your weekly radio show and recede into the

2040
01:44:22,439 --> 01:44:25,240
Speaker 3: background and let the football team do its thing. And

2041
01:44:26,840 --> 01:44:29,200
Speaker 3: that is where I think some of this Dion talk

2042
01:44:29,280 --> 01:44:33,479
Speaker 3: comes from. Because Dion is a big enough supernova of

2043
01:44:33,600 --> 01:44:36,439
Speaker 3: his own, that he will take up a lot of

2044
01:44:36,520 --> 01:44:39,800
Speaker 3: that oxygen. I just think that's a powder keg. Though,

2045
01:44:40,120 --> 01:44:42,400
Speaker 3: Like I just I agree with you. By the way,

2046
01:44:42,439 --> 01:44:44,760
Speaker 3: I don't think it's a particularly good job that you

2047
01:44:44,800 --> 01:44:47,439
Speaker 3: would want at this point either, because it just turns

2048
01:44:47,520 --> 01:44:51,320
Speaker 3: into more of the national inquirer than something with respect.

2049
01:44:51,560 --> 01:44:55,000
Speaker 3: You're always trying to overcome so much of a circus

2050
01:44:55,160 --> 01:44:58,800
Speaker 3: there and an environment that it's just not conducive. It's

2051
01:44:58,840 --> 01:45:03,479
Speaker 3: probably stressful, it's thankless in many respects. You're never going

2052
01:45:03,520 --> 01:45:06,519
Speaker 3: to be good enough, you know. I mean, I just

2053
01:45:07,360 --> 01:45:11,240
Speaker 3: and if I'm Dion, I I just don't understand the

2054
01:45:11,360 --> 01:45:13,640
Speaker 3: number of people that have come out and tried to

2055
01:45:13,800 --> 01:45:18,400
Speaker 3: say this week on television, radio, wherever, that Dion's the

2056
01:45:18,479 --> 01:45:21,680
Speaker 3: guy for this job. I'm like, really like him and

2057
01:45:21,800 --> 01:45:28,360
Speaker 3: Jerry Jones coexisting and Dion coaching this team in the

2058
01:45:28,520 --> 01:45:32,680
Speaker 3: NFL at this point in time, when they already had

2059
01:45:32,840 --> 01:45:36,439
Speaker 3: Dak Prescott in his situation, and he's already talked about

2060
01:45:36,560 --> 01:45:38,720
Speaker 3: how he, you know, wants to coach his sons and

2061
01:45:38,800 --> 01:45:41,439
Speaker 3: all this other kind of stuff. It just seems like,

2062
01:45:41,680 --> 01:45:43,559
Speaker 3: all right, And I've heard some other I think I've

2063
01:45:43,600 --> 01:45:45,800
Speaker 3: heard some people on this network say this this week,

2064
01:45:45,840 --> 01:45:48,000
Speaker 3: and I agree, Like do you want to win a

2065
01:45:48,040 --> 01:45:50,240
Speaker 3: super Bowl or do you want to be a celebrity,

2066
01:45:50,479 --> 01:45:52,040
Speaker 3: because I don't know that you can do both. And

2067
01:45:52,080 --> 01:45:54,240
Speaker 3: I'm not asking this to Dion Sanders. I'm asking this

2068
01:45:54,360 --> 01:45:59,040
Speaker 3: to Jerry Jones like that that to me, his involvement

2069
01:45:59,560 --> 01:46:04,040
Speaker 3: and interstageness is the biggest problem with the Dallas Cowboys,

2070
01:46:04,400 --> 01:46:07,320
Speaker 3: and it's something that until that gets fixed, I don't

2071
01:46:07,360 --> 01:46:08,519
Speaker 3: want any part of that job.

2072
01:46:09,000 --> 01:46:12,040
Speaker 2: So a couple of things. One, so first of all,

2073
01:46:12,080 --> 01:46:15,400
Speaker 2: I agree with that, and I don't think this is

2074
01:46:15,439 --> 01:46:20,200
Speaker 2: gonna sound so cruel. I don't think it gets fixed

2075
01:46:20,280 --> 01:46:23,240
Speaker 2: until Jerry Jones is I mean, how else do we

2076
01:46:23,320 --> 01:46:25,559
Speaker 2: say it no longer with us? I mean, I don't,

2077
01:46:25,880 --> 01:46:28,519
Speaker 2: you know. And it's funny. I've used this analogy or

2078
01:46:28,600 --> 01:46:33,680
Speaker 2: this story before. But my nephew diehard Cowboys fan, and

2079
01:46:33,800 --> 01:46:35,479
Speaker 2: you know, we used to text all the time. Now

2080
01:46:35,520 --> 01:46:37,800
Speaker 2: we don't. But I saw him, I think it was

2081
01:46:37,880 --> 01:46:40,679
Speaker 2: right before the Dak injury and he just said I've

2082
01:46:40,760 --> 01:46:43,000
Speaker 2: given up hope, like he you know, because I thought

2083
01:46:43,040 --> 01:46:46,639
Speaker 2: it was, you know, the typical arc of a football fan.

2084
01:46:46,800 --> 01:46:49,479
Speaker 2: I talked myself into it in the preseason whatever, blah blah.

2085
01:46:49,680 --> 01:46:53,760
Speaker 2: He's like, this organization is just stuck in the it's

2086
01:46:53,960 --> 01:46:56,280
Speaker 2: never going to get better. And I have an incredible

2087
01:46:56,360 --> 01:47:01,040
Speaker 2: stat that Michael Mahailich just sent us on Twitter, and

2088
01:47:01,120 --> 01:47:05,200
Speaker 2: I appreciate you doing it, Jymart. Do you realize this

2089
01:47:05,280 --> 01:47:09,240
Speaker 2: is gonna sound crazy, but it is true. Every single

2090
01:47:09,920 --> 01:47:15,680
Speaker 2: other team in the NFC has made the NFC Championship

2091
01:47:15,760 --> 01:47:22,120
Speaker 2: Game at least once since two thoy ten. The Chicago

2092
01:47:22,240 --> 01:47:25,720
Speaker 2: Bears made the NFC Championship Game in twenty ten, the

2093
01:47:25,840 --> 01:47:30,479
Speaker 2: Carolina Panthers in twenty fifteen, the Arizona Cardinals in twenty fifteen.

2094
01:47:30,560 --> 01:47:33,599
Speaker 2: The New Orleans Saints, who are Debaco right now played

2095
01:47:33,640 --> 01:47:38,000
Speaker 2: for an NFC title as recently as twenty eighteen. The

2096
01:47:38,120 --> 01:47:41,120
Speaker 2: Dallas Cowboys have not made an NFC championship game since

2097
01:47:41,200 --> 01:47:45,080
Speaker 2: nineteen ninety five. They have been fifteen years longer than

2098
01:47:45,120 --> 01:47:48,439
Speaker 2: the second worst team in the NFC in terms of

2099
01:47:48,600 --> 01:47:50,479
Speaker 2: just making it to a conference championship game. Now, the

2100
01:47:50,520 --> 01:47:52,559
Speaker 2: obviously won a Super Bowl that year, but ninety five

2101
01:47:52,640 --> 01:47:54,200
Speaker 2: is a long time ago. We're getting to the point

2102
01:47:54,200 --> 01:47:56,800
Speaker 2: where there's some people with gray hair that aren't old

2103
01:47:56,880 --> 01:48:00,200
Speaker 2: enough to remember when when the Dallas Cowboys last made

2104
01:48:00,200 --> 01:48:02,960
Speaker 2: an NFC championship game. So to me, it's a one

2105
01:48:03,080 --> 01:48:07,320
Speaker 2: hundred percent Jerry thing. And on the one hand, I

2106
01:48:07,520 --> 01:48:10,840
Speaker 2: agree with you that are you trying to you know,

2107
01:48:10,960 --> 01:48:13,360
Speaker 2: have a reality show or you try to be whatever.

2108
01:48:14,160 --> 01:48:17,719
Speaker 2: My counter to that, though, is, again, what other real

2109
01:48:17,920 --> 01:48:21,880
Speaker 2: options do you have? Like, doesn't seem like Ben Johnson

2110
01:48:21,960 --> 01:48:25,519
Speaker 2: wants this job, doesn't seem like whoever else you DM,

2111
01:48:25,600 --> 01:48:28,880
Speaker 2: Mike Frabole is off the table, Bill Belichick is coaching

2112
01:48:28,960 --> 01:48:31,280
Speaker 2: in college, like and I was just talking to producer

2113
01:48:31,360 --> 01:48:33,960
Speaker 2: Ian about this. This thing has been so screwed up

2114
01:48:33,960 --> 01:48:36,960
Speaker 2: from the beginning, like and again it speaks to the dysfunction.

2115
01:48:37,160 --> 01:48:38,760
Speaker 2: I don't want to say if the Cowboys because they

2116
01:48:38,800 --> 01:48:42,120
Speaker 2: do a lot of things, well, the dysfunction of ownership

2117
01:48:42,320 --> 01:48:46,120
Speaker 2: with Jerry Jones, because you come into the year with

2118
01:48:46,240 --> 01:48:49,080
Speaker 2: Mike McCarthy. Uh, it's not even on the hot seat.

2119
01:48:49,080 --> 01:48:51,680
Speaker 2: He didn't have a contract beyond this year, and you

2120
01:48:52,040 --> 01:48:57,760
Speaker 2: start the season three and seven. I mean you have

2121
01:48:58,000 --> 01:49:00,320
Speaker 2: to get rid of him at that point you know

2122
01:49:00,520 --> 01:49:03,040
Speaker 2: you're not bringing him back. You keep him around long

2123
01:49:03,160 --> 01:49:05,280
Speaker 2: enough for him to win a few games, you keep

2124
01:49:05,400 --> 01:49:07,760
Speaker 2: him through the final week of the regular season and

2125
01:49:08,000 --> 01:49:12,240
Speaker 2: then you start negotiations. So let's work under the assumption

2126
01:49:12,720 --> 01:49:14,720
Speaker 2: that Mike Frable would have been interested in the job.

2127
01:49:14,840 --> 01:49:16,800
Speaker 2: I don't think he would have. Certainly, it seems like

2128
01:49:16,880 --> 01:49:19,000
Speaker 2: behind the scenes he was working for that Patriot's job.

2129
01:49:19,040 --> 01:49:21,960
Speaker 2: But whatever, he's not available because it took too long.

2130
01:49:22,560 --> 01:49:25,439
Speaker 2: Bill Belichick took another job because you took too long

2131
01:49:25,479 --> 01:49:27,920
Speaker 2: if you believe that he was a legitimate candidate. And

2132
01:49:28,160 --> 01:49:31,920
Speaker 2: so now I just I don't even know what they do.

2133
01:49:32,800 --> 01:49:36,080
Speaker 2: And again, I think the Dion thing is only realistic

2134
01:49:36,160 --> 01:49:39,360
Speaker 2: because I don't know who else is going to want

2135
01:49:39,560 --> 01:49:44,400
Speaker 2: this job, because if you have options, again, if you're

2136
01:49:44,479 --> 01:49:47,280
Speaker 2: Aaron Glenn, if you're Ben Johnson, why do you want

2137
01:49:47,360 --> 01:49:49,360
Speaker 2: this place where you have a sixty million dollars a

2138
01:49:49,400 --> 01:49:52,200
Speaker 2: year quarterback in eighty four year old head coach owner

2139
01:49:52,240 --> 01:49:55,280
Speaker 2: who's not gonna stop doing press conferences. We gotta get

2140
01:49:55,280 --> 01:49:57,000
Speaker 2: to disagre j Mar, But let's put a ball on this.

2141
01:49:57,080 --> 01:49:59,920
Speaker 2: Any last thoughts on just this situation, because I think

2142
01:50:00,120 --> 01:50:02,519
Speaker 2: Dion is actually a metaphor for I don't know why

2143
01:50:02,560 --> 01:50:04,880
Speaker 2: anybody would watch this job because of Jerry.

2144
01:50:06,120 --> 01:50:07,960
Speaker 3: I mean, I think I think Kellen Moore is going

2145
01:50:08,040 --> 01:50:11,120
Speaker 3: to be the guy. But if it's not, I understand.

2146
01:50:11,479 --> 01:50:13,080
Speaker 2: Is he a candidate for any other job?

2147
01:50:13,160 --> 01:50:13,280
Speaker 8: Though?

2148
01:50:13,280 --> 01:50:15,000
Speaker 2: I mean, has he in I'm not mefix, That's what

2149
01:50:15,040 --> 01:50:17,960
Speaker 2: I'm saying. That's what I'm saying. Maybe he's done interviews

2150
01:50:18,000 --> 01:50:20,040
Speaker 2: and I missed it. I don't think he's a candidate

2151
01:50:20,080 --> 01:50:22,120
Speaker 2: anywhere else, And he wouldn't be a candidate if he

2152
01:50:22,240 --> 01:50:25,599
Speaker 2: hadn't already been an offensive coordinator. Who oh, by the way,

2153
01:50:26,080 --> 01:50:29,000
Speaker 2: you ran out to let Mike McCarthy call play, so

2154
01:50:29,280 --> 01:50:31,080
Speaker 2: j Mart, I cut you off. I apologize.

2155
01:50:31,240 --> 01:50:32,560
Speaker 3: Well, I mean, I don't know, I don't know that

2156
01:50:32,680 --> 01:50:34,720
Speaker 3: it's that. I mean, I think he's in some of

2157
01:50:34,760 --> 01:50:36,439
Speaker 3: the odds for some of the other teams and stuff.

2158
01:50:36,439 --> 01:50:38,320
Speaker 3: But I think he was always tied to the Cowboys

2159
01:50:38,400 --> 01:50:41,320
Speaker 3: because of that, kind of similar to Vary bol with

2160
01:50:41,360 --> 01:50:43,800
Speaker 3: the Patriots, not quite as certainly, not as he hadn't

2161
01:50:44,160 --> 01:50:46,960
Speaker 3: he wasn't tied to him quite as long, certainly, and

2162
01:50:47,080 --> 01:50:50,960
Speaker 3: didn't play the same role with them. But I just

2163
01:50:51,040 --> 01:50:53,920
Speaker 3: feel like Kellen Moore in the offense, I think he

2164
01:50:54,000 --> 01:50:55,800
Speaker 3: probably would have a lot of respect for Dak. He

2165
01:50:55,920 --> 01:51:00,600
Speaker 3: understands that division. Ceedee, Lamb, you know he's working with

2166
01:51:00,680 --> 01:51:04,080
Speaker 3: wide receivers, they are dynamic with what he's done in Philadelphia.

2167
01:51:04,360 --> 01:51:05,840
Speaker 3: I think that would make a lot of sense. But

2168
01:51:05,880 --> 01:51:09,479
Speaker 3: everything else that you're saying is one thousand percent right,

2169
01:51:09,720 --> 01:51:13,880
Speaker 3: and I don't understand any of how they've gone about it.

2170
01:51:13,920 --> 01:51:15,280
Speaker 3: I think I got it wrong when I made that

2171
01:51:15,400 --> 01:51:19,840
Speaker 3: Lakers analogy. I think the better analogies the Knicks until

2172
01:51:19,920 --> 01:51:22,920
Speaker 3: last year, because the Knicks were just that again, they

2173
01:51:22,960 --> 01:51:25,839
Speaker 3: were an IT franchise, but they hadn't done anything in ages,

2174
01:51:26,280 --> 01:51:28,680
Speaker 3: but they were good in the nineties and since that

2175
01:51:28,800 --> 01:51:30,439
Speaker 3: point in time, it just been like it didn't matter.

2176
01:51:30,479 --> 01:51:32,800
Speaker 3: You bring into Carmelo Anthony, they still weren't able to win.

2177
01:51:32,880 --> 01:51:35,240
Speaker 3: You draft Kristaps Porzingis, they still weren't able to win.

2178
01:51:35,680 --> 01:51:37,880
Speaker 3: They went through phil they even had Phil Jackson there,

2179
01:51:38,640 --> 01:51:41,120
Speaker 3: and they still, you know, it still wasn't gonna work again.

2180
01:51:41,240 --> 01:51:43,000
Speaker 3: And you know, they've had all these kinds of things

2181
01:51:43,040 --> 01:51:46,120
Speaker 3: and they finally have seemingly struck gold because they found

2182
01:51:46,200 --> 01:51:48,360
Speaker 3: the right stuff. So I think that's part of it there.

2183
01:51:48,479 --> 01:51:52,400
Speaker 3: But yeah, there's definitely I think Kellen Moore will be

2184
01:51:52,520 --> 01:51:56,240
Speaker 3: the guy personally. The Dion thing would be great for

2185
01:51:56,360 --> 01:51:59,160
Speaker 3: our content I just think that that's a powder keg

2186
01:51:59,280 --> 01:52:01,719
Speaker 3: with him, and I don't think those two egos co exist.

2187
01:52:01,840 --> 01:52:04,479
Speaker 2: Well, tell you what, we are running short on time.

2188
01:52:04,560 --> 01:52:06,800
Speaker 2: Let's toss it right over the news desk, Steve de Sager,

2189
01:52:06,880 --> 01:52:08,080
Speaker 2: what is trending at this hour?

2190
01:52:08,280 --> 01:52:10,640
Speaker 6: I did read that Kellen Moore today interviewed with the

2191
01:52:10,680 --> 01:52:11,240
Speaker 6: Saints Spidery.

2192
01:52:11,280 --> 01:52:12,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, I thought I did see a headline where he

2193
01:52:13,000 --> 01:52:13,559
Speaker 2: interviewed somewhere.

2194
01:52:13,560 --> 01:52:13,800
Speaker 3: OK.

2195
01:52:13,960 --> 01:52:16,000
Speaker 6: But problem with Jerry Jones, he needs to fire his

2196
01:52:16,120 --> 01:52:18,479
Speaker 6: GM and that's never gonna happen.

2197
01:52:18,320 --> 01:52:20,080
Speaker 3: Because Chah, that's a problem.

2198
01:52:20,439 --> 01:52:24,000
Speaker 6: But Troy Aikman's Cowboys early to mid nineties made the

2199
01:52:24,120 --> 01:52:26,760
Speaker 6: NFC Championship four years in a row, and they haven't

2200
01:52:26,800 --> 01:52:30,400
Speaker 6: made it back since Washington had not made the conference

2201
01:52:30,479 --> 01:52:32,880
Speaker 6: title game since the nineteen ninety one season.

2202
01:52:33,320 --> 01:52:33,840
Speaker 2: They're going.

2203
01:52:34,080 --> 01:52:36,479
Speaker 6: These Commanders have won seven in a row. This year's

2204
01:52:36,600 --> 01:52:39,960
Speaker 6: Washington team was seven and five as of Thanksgiving. Hasn't

2205
01:52:40,000 --> 01:52:43,320
Speaker 6: lost since the Commander's win at top seeded Detroit tonight

2206
01:52:43,439 --> 01:52:46,240
Speaker 6: forty five thirty one, Jade and Daniels two hundred and

2207
01:52:46,280 --> 01:52:49,479
Speaker 6: ninety nine yards passing in two scores. Lions had over

2208
01:52:49,560 --> 01:52:52,800
Speaker 6: five hundred yards of offense had thirty first downs in

2209
01:52:52,960 --> 01:52:56,920
Speaker 6: twenty six minutes time of possession, but Detroit with five turnovers,

2210
01:52:57,000 --> 01:53:01,240
Speaker 6: four by quarterback Jared Goff. Washington meanwhile no turnovers, took

2211
01:53:01,360 --> 01:53:04,640
Speaker 6: no sacks, and the Commander scored four touchdowns in the

2212
01:53:04,720 --> 01:53:07,760
Speaker 6: second quarter, including a pick six forty five thirty one.

2213
01:53:07,840 --> 01:53:10,639
Speaker 6: The final Detroit after a fifteen and two regular season,

2214
01:53:10,840 --> 01:53:13,960
Speaker 6: is out Kansas City, now sixteen and two. They advanced

2215
01:53:13,960 --> 01:53:16,519
Speaker 6: to the AFC Title Game for the seventh straight year

2216
01:53:17,160 --> 01:53:20,719
Speaker 6: after eliminating Houston today twenty three to fourteen. The Texans

2217
01:53:20,760 --> 01:53:23,080
Speaker 6: missed an extra point try, missed a field goal attempt

2218
01:53:23,160 --> 01:53:26,360
Speaker 6: into the win, had another field goal attempt block. Chiefs

2219
01:53:26,400 --> 01:53:29,799
Speaker 6: defense had eight sacks, three by George car loftis temperature

2221
01:53:33,320 --> 01:53:36,040
Speaker 6: one hundred and seventeen yards in a score, but Casey

2222
01:53:36,160 --> 01:53:39,479
Speaker 6: had only ninety five other yards in this game three

2223
01:53:39,560 --> 01:53:42,679
Speaker 6: short field goals from Harrison Butker. A reminder for tomorrow,

2224
01:53:42,760 --> 01:53:45,759
Speaker 6: the Ravens had listed wide receiver Za Flowers is doubtful

2225
01:53:45,800 --> 01:53:48,120

01:53:48,200 --> 01:53:50,880
Speaker 6: missed another practice on Friday, he missed their wild card

2227
01:53:50,960 --> 01:53:53,880
Speaker 6: game last weekend. Temperature in Buffalo due to be under

Speaker 6: linebacker Nakobe Dean is out for the postseason due to

2234
01:54:13,720 --> 01:54:17,200
Speaker 6: a torn pateeller tendon. The falcons new defensive coordinator is

2235
01:54:17,240 --> 01:54:21,360
Speaker 6: Jeff Ulbrick. Texas Longhorns coach Steve Sarkisian got an extension

2236
01:54:21,400 --> 01:54:25,360

2240
01:54:34,840 --> 01:54:38,200
Speaker 6: win at fourteenth ranked Yukon sixty eight sixty three. Connecticut

2241
01:54:38,280 --> 01:54:41,160
Speaker 6: had one twenty eight straight at home over the last

2242
01:54:41,200 --> 01:54:41,680
Speaker 6: two years.

2243
01:54:41,760 --> 01:54:45,240
Speaker 2: Back to you very controversial quality into that game, but that's.

2244
01:54:45,120 --> 01:54:47,240
Speaker 3: Neither that was con to that game. We're gonna get

2245
01:54:47,240 --> 01:54:48,560
Speaker 3: an update on that at some point.

2246
01:54:48,760 --> 01:54:52,840
Speaker 2: Listen, we gotta get the break. But I'll say, abominable

2247
01:54:52,960 --> 01:54:57,000
Speaker 2: call final seconds of the game Yukon. It was a

2248
01:54:57,080 --> 01:55:01,600
Speaker 2: clear foul up three situation for Creighton and they were

2249
01:55:01,680 --> 01:55:04,040
Speaker 2: just showing the replay on Sports Center. So this isn't

2250
01:55:04,080 --> 01:55:08,600
Speaker 2: Tours talking out of as you know what the refs anticipated.

2251
01:55:08,640 --> 01:55:10,680
Speaker 2: The call on the floor Hassandi Area was in the

2252
01:55:10,760 --> 01:55:12,640
Speaker 2: act of shooting, should have been for three free throws.

2253
01:55:12,680 --> 01:55:15,080
Speaker 2: Doesn't guarantee they would have won the game. They have issues,

2254
01:55:15,480 --> 01:55:17,680
Speaker 2: but yes they lose to creating on a very controversial

2255

2265
01:55:48,880 --> 01:55:52,240
Speaker 2: download the podcast wherever you get podcasts. A lot of

2266
01:55:52,240 --> 01:55:55,200
Speaker 2: reaction to Lions Commanders as well as Kansas City and

2267
01:55:55,480 --> 01:56:00,879
Speaker 2: Washington Jamart really quick, we didn't talk to college football playoffs.

2268
01:56:01,000 --> 01:56:02,760
Speaker 3: Totally didn't realize that we were at the end of

2269
01:56:02,800 --> 01:56:04,960
Speaker 3: the show and had not even talked about the thing

2270
01:56:05,080 --> 01:56:07,080
Speaker 3: we talk about more than anything else.

2271
01:56:07,720 --> 01:56:07,760
Speaker 4: No.

2272
01:56:08,120 --> 01:56:10,720
Speaker 2: I know, I was telling Ian this, listen. I know

2273
01:56:11,080 --> 01:56:13,440
Speaker 2: it's not perfect. I think we got to figure out

2274
01:56:13,440 --> 01:56:15,360
Speaker 2: a way, and there's a very easy solution. We got

2275
01:56:15,440 --> 01:56:18,280
Speaker 2: to start the playoff earlier, and let me ask you

2276
01:56:18,400 --> 01:56:20,800
Speaker 2: really quick, before we make our pick, we would be

2277
01:56:20,880 --> 01:56:22,800
Speaker 2: talking about it no matter what, because we both love

2278
01:56:22,840 --> 01:56:25,280
Speaker 2: college football. This is our national post game show here

2279
01:56:25,360 --> 01:56:28,840
Speaker 2: on Fox Sports Radio. But I feel like in the

2280
01:56:29,040 --> 01:56:32,680
Speaker 2: sports discourse, like I don't feel like people are talking

2281
01:56:32,680 --> 01:56:34,720
Speaker 2: about this. Am I am I crazy on that? Or

2282
01:56:34,760 --> 01:56:37,480
Speaker 2: do you feel pretty confident that it just feels like

2283
01:56:37,520 --> 01:56:39,280
Speaker 2: it's gotten a little lost in the shuffles we get

2284
01:56:39,280 --> 01:56:40,480
Speaker 2: deeper in the NFL playoffs.

2285
01:56:40,520 --> 01:56:42,640
Speaker 3: I mean, I think that's right. I don't think there's

2286
01:56:42,680 --> 01:56:44,880
Speaker 3: any way around it. I don't It's not that this

2287
01:56:45,040 --> 01:56:47,320
Speaker 3: game is not going to be paid attention to talked

2288
01:56:47,320 --> 01:56:50,360
Speaker 3: about enjoyed on Monday. It's going to do very well.

2289
01:56:50,440 --> 01:56:52,960
Speaker 3: Hopefully it's going to be a great game. But you

2290
01:56:53,080 --> 01:56:55,520
Speaker 3: get swallowed up by the NFL. You just do. When

2291
01:56:55,560 --> 01:57:00,560
Speaker 3: the NFL playoffs start happening, that just overtakes everything else.

2292
01:57:00,640 --> 01:57:03,400
Speaker 3: There's just not enough oxygen in the room for everything.

2293
01:57:04,040 --> 01:57:06,720
Speaker 3: You do. Feel like this college football season needs to

2294
01:57:06,800 --> 01:57:09,320
Speaker 3: find a way to end in the first week of January.

2295
01:57:09,680 --> 01:57:11,840
Speaker 3: Like it's just it's going too deep. It's kind of

2296
01:57:11,880 --> 01:57:15,040
Speaker 3: like baseball still trying to be as relevant once football starts.

2297
01:57:15,080 --> 01:57:18,240
Speaker 3: Football is just it's a different animal, and pro football

2298
01:57:18,280 --> 01:57:24,280
Speaker 3: in America, it's just hard to get national airtime. I mean,

2299
01:57:24,360 --> 01:57:26,720
Speaker 3: we give it more than just about anybody, but it's

2300
01:57:26,720 --> 01:57:29,200
Speaker 3: hard to get national airtime right now because the NFL

2301
01:57:29,320 --> 01:57:31,720
Speaker 3: is going to soak up everything that's out there. There's

2302
01:57:31,720 --> 01:57:33,600
Speaker 3: going to be storylines for all four of these games,

2303
01:57:33,680 --> 01:57:36,280
Speaker 3: and then the scraps turn out to be Notre Dame

2304
01:57:36,320 --> 01:57:41,080
Speaker 3: Ohio State, and that's that's stinks, honestly. They deserve more.

2305
01:57:41,400 --> 01:57:44,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, really quick, you know, I think I hope we

2306
01:57:44,280 --> 01:57:46,840
Speaker 2: get to a point where maybe we eliminate those conference

2307
01:57:46,920 --> 01:57:50,200
Speaker 2: championship games and the regular season a week earlier, we

2308
01:57:50,240 --> 01:57:52,960
Speaker 2: don't need the conference championship games, and then started earlier

2309
01:57:53,080 --> 01:57:55,600
Speaker 2: and finish it earlier because I agree have I think

2310
01:57:55,640 --> 01:57:57,920
Speaker 2: the way it was New Year's even New Year's Day,

2311
01:57:57,960 --> 01:58:02,160
Speaker 2: semi finals championship a week really quickly, what is your

2312
01:58:02,200 --> 01:58:03,840
Speaker 2: pick for the game, And we haven't made our NFL

2313
01:58:03,880 --> 01:58:05,680
Speaker 2: picks either, So go ahead, give me your quick pick

2314
01:58:05,760 --> 01:58:07,600
Speaker 2: on Ohio State Notre Dame. We'll get to our picks

2315
01:58:07,680 --> 01:58:08,280
Speaker 2: on Sunday.

2316
01:58:08,840 --> 01:58:11,040
Speaker 3: Man, I would love to pick Notre Dame. I think

2317
01:58:11,040 --> 01:58:13,320
Speaker 3: I've got to go with Ohio State just the talent

2318
01:58:13,440 --> 01:58:17,680
Speaker 3: and the way that they have played throughout this postseason run.

2319
01:58:18,000 --> 01:58:20,240
Speaker 3: I love Marcus Freeman and I would love to see

2320
01:58:20,280 --> 01:58:22,720
Speaker 3: them win. Quite frankly, I just don't know that they're

2321
01:58:22,760 --> 01:58:25,560
Speaker 3: going to. I will say this though, Jeremiah Smith gave

2322
01:58:25,600 --> 01:58:29,440
Speaker 3: them some bulletin board material. Very confident young man deserves

2323
01:58:29,480 --> 01:58:31,480
Speaker 3: to be. He's going to be an absolute superstar on

2324
01:58:31,520 --> 01:58:35,120
Speaker 3: the next level. He's already a superstar. But he said

2325
01:58:35,160 --> 01:58:37,400
Speaker 3: he can't wait to put on a show against Notre

2326
01:58:37,480 --> 01:58:42,480
Speaker 3: Dame on Monday night. There's no question that is all

2327
01:58:42,680 --> 01:58:46,040
Speaker 3: over the Notre Dame locker room for them to see.

2328
01:58:46,480 --> 01:58:48,680
Speaker 3: Saying that he knows they play a lot of man

2329
01:58:48,800 --> 01:58:52,640
Speaker 3: coverage and he will own them. Okay, I'm not saying

2330
01:58:52,680 --> 01:58:55,120
Speaker 3: he won't, but let's pay attention to that on Monday.

2331
01:58:55,160 --> 01:58:57,160
Speaker 3: But I do have Ohio State winning Notre.

2332
01:58:57,080 --> 01:59:00,240
Speaker 2: Dame second in college football and turnovers. The only I

2333
01:59:00,240 --> 01:59:02,240
Speaker 2: see Nor Dame winning the game is if Will Howard

2334
01:59:02,320 --> 01:59:05,920
Speaker 2: throws the ball away. I'm gonna pick Ohio State twenty

2335
01:59:06,040 --> 01:59:09,960
Speaker 2: four to ten really quickly. Early game. Eagles, Rams.

2336
01:59:10,040 --> 01:59:13,560
Speaker 3: What he got, Eagles, the weather, the circumstances. I just

2337
01:59:13,640 --> 01:59:15,640
Speaker 3: look at that Rams team and I cannot see them,

2338
01:59:16,280 --> 01:59:18,760
Speaker 3: you know, seeing their own breath and beating the Eagles

2339
01:59:18,800 --> 01:59:19,920
Speaker 3: in Philly. So I like Philly.

2340
01:59:19,960 --> 01:59:21,640
Speaker 2: I think that's a good way to put it. I

2341
01:59:21,720 --> 01:59:24,000
Speaker 2: have the Eagles winning as well. Bill's Ravens. I know

2342
01:59:24,080 --> 01:59:27,000
Speaker 2: you were undecided forty five minutes ago. I need an answer.

2343
01:59:27,040 --> 01:59:28,200
Speaker 2: We only got thirty seconds left.

2344
01:59:28,240 --> 01:59:28,280
Speaker 7: Go.

2345
01:59:29,120 --> 01:59:31,640
Speaker 3: I'm so torn. I don't even know what to say

2346
01:59:31,800 --> 01:59:34,600
Speaker 3: right now. I've got to pick a team. I've got

2347
01:59:34,720 --> 01:59:38,520
Speaker 3: to pick some. I'm picking Baltimore. Oh, I'm picking Baltimore.

2348
01:59:38,560 --> 01:59:40,720
Speaker 3: I think Derek Henry makes the difference in the cold

2349
01:59:40,760 --> 01:59:43,480
Speaker 3: because I just don't think anybody wants to tackle him tomorrow.

2350
01:59:43,600 --> 01:59:45,240
Speaker 2: I will take the bills. We gotta get out of here.
