Caleb Williams, with 13 00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:47,519 Speaker 1: the ball in his hands, makes a clutch pass to 14 00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:51,760 Speaker 1: Commet in the back of the end zone and you think, man, 15 00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:55,120 Speaker 1: these Bears, it's just destiny. I mean, Matthew Stafford played 16 00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:57,400 Speaker 1: a solid game. The Rams felt like they controlled it 17 00:00:57,440 --> 00:00:59,160 Speaker 1: a lot of it, a lot of the game. But 18 00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:03,480 Speaker 1: the Bears just battling and Caleb Williams gave him a chance. 19 00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:06,640 Speaker 1: Then you go to ot. Bears defense gets to stop. 20 00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:13,119 Speaker 1: Caleb Williams marches down the field. Ben Johnson goes forward 21 00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:18,319 Speaker 1: on fourth in inches from from about midfield, Caleb Williams 22 00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:22,720 Speaker 1: sneaks it around the edge of the left side first down, 23 00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:27,200 Speaker 1: walked up, looked at the camera. I said, these boys 24 00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:30,119 Speaker 1: are about to do it today. I said, good job 25 00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:33,039 Speaker 1: for the Bears. I said, congratulations. Either way, you gotta 26 00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:35,800 Speaker 1: come to Seattle and take an ale like cool Jay. 27 00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:42,720 Speaker 1: But if this is exciting, however, Caleb Williams got fancy 28 00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:44,800 Speaker 1: and he got sexy and they went to an old 29 00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:48,520 Speaker 1: faithful play mental. It's the same play that Luther Burton 30 00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:51,720 Speaker 1: scored on when they played the San Francisco forty nine 31 00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:55,800 Speaker 1: ers in that shootout in Levi Stadium a couple weeks ago. 32 00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:59,680 Speaker 1: It was a dig route with the clear out route 33 00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:03,240 Speaker 1: in the same way from Luther Burdon, and it puts 34 00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:05,000 Speaker 1: the safety in the bond. Do you go with the 35 00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:07,320 Speaker 1: high route and let him hit the dig or do 36 00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:09,720 Speaker 1: you drive the dig and you hit the high route. 37 00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:12,040 Speaker 1: Against the San Francisco forty nin ers, he could have 38 00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:13,600 Speaker 1: hit either one. I mean, it was such a bad, 39 00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:16,480 Speaker 1: bad football. They bit on the underneath tight end sit 40 00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:19,000 Speaker 1: and so he could have hit either one. On this one, 41 00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:23,640 Speaker 1: they the safety drove the dig. If he puts the 42 00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:27,000 Speaker 1: ball up to Luther Burdon. We're talking about the Chicago 43 00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:29,960 Speaker 1: Bears coming to Seattle, to Looming Field and playing the 44 00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:32,919 Speaker 1: Seattle Seahawks. But Mitchell is not about what ifs. It's 45 00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:36,320 Speaker 1: about what it is and what did happen. Caller Williams 46 00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:40,120 Speaker 1: throws an interception and incredible play by the Rams defense 47 00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:47,000 Speaker 1: and Matthew Stafford MVP. MVP drove his team down the 48 00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:53,800 Speaker 1: field easy, Kyern Williams Korm pooka nicol on third down 49 00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:57,239 Speaker 1: like just consistent, just steady, get us down the field, 50 00:02:57,480 --> 00:02:59,280 Speaker 1: took a few shots to the end zone with his 51 00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:02,480 Speaker 1: tight ends, and then kick the walk off field goal. 52 00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:06,880 Speaker 1: Welcome to Seattle for the NFC Championship Game Sunday night. 53 00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:07,959 Speaker 2: What'd you think, Mitchell? 54 00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:10,959 Speaker 3: What did I just watch? Is what I think, Richard. 55 00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:14,639 Speaker 3: Unbelievable performance by both teams here, the Chicago Bears, I mean, 56 00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:18,040 Speaker 3: hats off to them all season, grinding, scrapping, finishing dead 57 00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:20,480 Speaker 3: last in the NFC North last season, all the way 58 00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:24,519 Speaker 3: to rise up in moments away, one play away from 59 00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:28,640 Speaker 3: making the NFC Championship Game. Ben Jonson knows how this feels, 60 00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:31,639 Speaker 3: this agony of defeat. He we you know, he had 61 00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:34,000 Speaker 3: it in Detroit losing to San Francisco in that NFC 62 00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:37,400 Speaker 3: Championship game. He willed this team, He changed his culture 63 00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:39,920 Speaker 3: in just one season. What an incredible hire for the 64 00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:42,760 Speaker 3: Chicago Bears. That's what I think. I think he has 65 00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:45,920 Speaker 3: got Caleb Williams, a guy, perfect compliment to him, the 66 00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:49,240 Speaker 3: perfect QB for Ben Johnson. I'm afraid of this Bears 67 00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:51,680 Speaker 3: team going forward. But credit to the Rams, holy cow, 68 00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:56,040 Speaker 3: magnificent plays by their defense late in this game, because 69 00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:58,480 Speaker 3: the Rams, like you said, had ample opportunity to take 70 00:03:58,480 --> 00:03:59,760 Speaker 3: control of this game. 71 00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:00,680 Speaker 2: And to shit out. 72 00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:04,960 Speaker 3: Credit to Kayleb Williams, huge play, huge pass, scrambling back 73 00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:07,720 Speaker 3: on fourth down, all the way retreating to his forty 74 00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:10,440 Speaker 3: yard line and eaving it up to Cole Comet. Like 75 00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:12,720 Speaker 3: you said, this team looked like a team of destiny. 76 00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:15,800 Speaker 3: But you see it with Caleb Williams. You see it there. 77 00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:20,080 Speaker 3: There's a superstar in him, but you also see those youth, 78 00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:23,440 Speaker 3: that youth in him still getting too cute late. 79 00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:25,440 Speaker 2: Like you said, But I think there's gonna be some. 80 00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:29,200 Speaker 3: Questions out of Chicago tomorrow, and it's not about this performance, 81 00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:31,360 Speaker 3: because I think they could have won. I think it's 82 00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:33,799 Speaker 3: gonna come down to coaching. And I hesitate even saying 83 00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:37,480 Speaker 3: this because being a Detroit fan, I support Dan Campbell 84 00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:39,960 Speaker 3: going forward on fourth down. But when you look at 85 00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:42,440 Speaker 3: this game, you see the elements, right, you see the wind, 86 00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:45,960 Speaker 3: you see the weather, you see the snow falling. People 87 00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:48,640 Speaker 3: are gonna question why Ben Johnson didn't take the points 88 00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:50,600 Speaker 3: in the first half on fourth down. He had two 89 00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:53,160 Speaker 3: occasions to do so, they failed to convert on fourth 90 00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:56,680 Speaker 3: down both times. Ultimately, Richard, that impacts the finish of 91 00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:59,599 Speaker 3: this game. I need to know your thoughts, man, about 92 00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:02,320 Speaker 3: the coach and what went into this game, you know, 93 00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:05,480 Speaker 3: and as a result the loss. I mean, do you 94 00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:09,039 Speaker 3: question Ben Johnson's decisions in the way this game turned out? 95 00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:14,599 Speaker 1: No, no, I don't. I think teams make mistakes when 96 00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:17,400 Speaker 1: you don't do what got you there. I think that's 97 00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:21,080 Speaker 1: the worst kind of way to approach a championship game 98 00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:24,640 Speaker 1: or a playoff game are meaningful late season game is 99 00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:26,680 Speaker 1: to start to make things up. If you go, if 100 00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:29,680 Speaker 1: you've been going four on fourth, go for it on fourth. 101 00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:33,760 Speaker 1: If you haven't been going, take the points. But to 102 00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:37,640 Speaker 1: go to a championship game and change the whole rhythm 103 00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:41,599 Speaker 1: and and and and aggression of your offense just doesn't 104 00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:43,560 Speaker 1: sound right to me. Sure it didn't go his way, 105 00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:45,760 Speaker 1: they didn't win the game, they had a chance, but 106 00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:48,680 Speaker 1: I don't. I think if you have a philosophy, you 107 00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:51,279 Speaker 1: have a foundation, you stick to it, you stick to 108 00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:53,880 Speaker 1: your philosophy, you live by it, you die by And 109 00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:56,119 Speaker 1: I think in the in the long run, over time, 110 00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:59,039 Speaker 1: it'll win more times than it loses. But it's when 111 00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:02,159 Speaker 1: you when you question your own philosophy, and the biggest 112 00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:04,400 Speaker 1: moments is when you start to fail. And I think 113 00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:06,159 Speaker 1: you got to give the Rams a lot of credit. 114 00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:08,080 Speaker 1: You got to give Cam Curll a lot of credit. 115 00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:10,160 Speaker 1: That took a lot of film watching. That wasn't the 116 00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:13,839 Speaker 1: first time they ran that play. His eyes were lasered 117 00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:18,120 Speaker 1: in on Caleb Williams. It's a layered route. He had 118 00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:21,800 Speaker 1: to make a decision, a really aggressive decision, and he 119 00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:26,800 Speaker 1: had to read Caleb Williams eyes, his arm angle and understand, hey, 120 00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:28,440 Speaker 1: is he going to put this up or is he 121 00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:30,680 Speaker 1: going to go for the dig? And he took a risk. 122 00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:34,400 Speaker 1: If he drove that dig, they are those two players 123 00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:37,760 Speaker 1: were right above each other. If he guesses wrong, that's 124 00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:41,520 Speaker 1: a touchdown and he's the person who cost him the game. 125 00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:44,320 Speaker 1: So that's how quickly you could go from he wrote 126 00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:46,640 Speaker 1: a zero in this league and he's the hero. He 127 00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:51,440 Speaker 1: made the play. Could Caleb Williams have made a better decision, Sure, 128 00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:54,080 Speaker 1: could he have said, hey, that lets a little that 129 00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:55,200 Speaker 1: lets a little muddy. 130 00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:56,120 Speaker 2: I hold it. 131 00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:58,560 Speaker 1: But also you look at DJ Moore, who had a 132 00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:01,800 Speaker 1: really good game, caught really well. Run your out, run 133 00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:03,640 Speaker 1: your out. He didn't think he was getting the ball 134 00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:06,160 Speaker 1: because he looked up and saw the safety there. But 135 00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:08,960 Speaker 1: finish your rout. He saw the safety, he saw self covered, 136 00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:11,600 Speaker 1: and he said, oh, it's gonna go to Luther this time. 137 00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:13,000 Speaker 2: It didn't. It went to you. 138 00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:15,120 Speaker 1: That's why you got to finish your route. And instead 139 00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:16,920 Speaker 1: of being able to compete for the ball at the 140 00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:20,360 Speaker 1: catch point, it's an interception. And that's something that he'll 141 00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:24,120 Speaker 1: i'm sure look back and kind of greet his teeth 142 00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:26,240 Speaker 1: at and be frustrated with itself because that was a 143 00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:28,400 Speaker 1: play that in the most critical moment of the game. 144 00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:31,120 Speaker 1: And sure, fatigue is a factor, this is overtime, but 145 00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:33,240 Speaker 1: this is a National football league. 146 00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:34,640 Speaker 2: For all the marbles. 147 00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:37,280 Speaker 1: People think, oh man and late in the season, what 148 00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:40,240 Speaker 1: does it feel like it hurts. Your body hurts, your 149 00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:43,160 Speaker 1: body doesn't feel good, your legs are dead, everybody's is. 150 00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:46,600 Speaker 1: The game isn't moving fast. Everybody's moving in and submit 151 00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:49,280 Speaker 1: looks like everybody's walking in the glasses. But it's the 152 00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:52,800 Speaker 1: guys who lock in for the extra step, the extra moment, 153 00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:55,000 Speaker 1: that stay locked in through the end of the game 154 00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:56,720 Speaker 1: that win these games. 155 00:07:57,600 --> 00:07:58,800 Speaker 2: Do you focus and finish? 156 00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:02,200 Speaker 1: Fatigue will make cowards of us, all Mitchell, That's what 157 00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:05,120 Speaker 1: my coach said. Don't be in shape, you will fail. 158 00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:08,880 Speaker 1: Fatigue will be get the best of you. Ever every 159 00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:11,680 Speaker 1: time when it comes to the most critical moments, if 160 00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:15,840 Speaker 1: you're tired, your brain will say quit, no question about it. 161 00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:19,680 Speaker 1: So fatigue is what costs people every single time in 162 00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:22,800 Speaker 1: these games and causes the mental errors. But give credit 163 00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:26,200 Speaker 1: to Matthew Stafford, Sean McVay this offense, Chris Shula and 164 00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:29,640 Speaker 1: his play calling down the stretch for that defense. Give 165 00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:33,000 Speaker 1: Dennis Allen credit for making u necessary adjustments bringing those 166 00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:36,760 Speaker 1: corner pressures. Jakwan Brisker played a fantastic game. Kyler Gordon 167 00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:40,040 Speaker 1: played his butt off in this game. In Caleb Williams, 168 00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:43,800 Speaker 1: he threw three interceptions. We're not gonna, We're not gonna 169 00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:47,480 Speaker 1: sugarcoat that. That's unacceptable for a quarterback of his caliber. 170 00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:50,400 Speaker 1: But in the most critical moment, he made a play 171 00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:53,200 Speaker 1: to get his team to overtime. Sure, if you don't 172 00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:57,880 Speaker 1: have those plays, you don't necessarily need the overtime. But again, 173 00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:00,959 Speaker 1: they made enough plays to put themselves position. He made 174 00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:03,720 Speaker 1: a critical mistake at the end that cost him. That's 175 00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:06,480 Speaker 1: something he's gonna have to learn from. But it it 176 00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:09,600 Speaker 1: looks like there's gonna be a bright future in Chicago 177 00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:12,560 Speaker 1: for a long time, and I look forward to seeing it. Obviously, 178 00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:16,000 Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to this this Ram Seahawks game. It 179 00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:19,439 Speaker 1: was an incredible shootout a couple of weeks ago and 180 00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:24,920 Speaker 1: in loomen On, in Loomenfield. But the Seahawks defense is 181 00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:29,520 Speaker 1: playing even better, even faster, even more aggressive, with more confidence. 182 00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:34,320 Speaker 1: And again, if you're Sam Darnold, you thought you you 183 00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:37,560 Speaker 1: thought you overcame your nightmares with the Rams. You thought 184 00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:39,880 Speaker 1: you overcame. You thought, Hey, I only had to see 185 00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:43,120 Speaker 1: it once. I killed Freddy Coueger. I killed him. He's dead, 186 00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:47,679 Speaker 1: but they these nightmares don't die. Mitchell, you gotta kill 187 00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:49,679 Speaker 1: him again. That's how they got all these movies. They 188 00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:52,720 Speaker 1: never killed him. It's I Freddy won two Friday after 189 00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:56,319 Speaker 1: next Friday, thirteenth, Friday the thirteenth, the next year, twenty 190 00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:59,920 Speaker 1: twenty six, and all these other crazy movies. But he's 191 00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:03,120 Speaker 1: gonna have to overcome. They're gonna bring back all the 192 00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:07,040 Speaker 1: stats about the Rams pressure and how Sam Donald struggled 193 00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:10,280 Speaker 1: against it, and so as high as we are for 194 00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:12,720 Speaker 1: the Seattle Seahawks right now, they're on the moon. They 195 00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:16,319 Speaker 1: freaking are playing lights out football. Defensively, you got Rashid 196 00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:19,880 Speaker 1: Shahi and the special teams. This Rams defense is gonna 197 00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:23,720 Speaker 1: feel pretty good about things now. If I'm Sam Donald, 198 00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:26,200 Speaker 1: I watched the last drive in the fourth quarter of 199 00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:27,439 Speaker 1: that game against the Rams, and. 200 00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:30,560 Speaker 2: I feel pretty good. You were cooking with grease. You would. 201 00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:36,520 Speaker 1: James Harden in the clutch, cooking, cooking up, cooking. So 202 00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:40,320 Speaker 1: let's get back to cooking. Run the football. Can nine. 203 00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:42,760 Speaker 1: Your guy Canine is running as good as he has 204 00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:46,120 Speaker 1: in his entire career. Had three touchdowns in the last game, 205 00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:50,800 Speaker 1: tying Sewn Alexander for the franchise rec playoff record. If 206 00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:53,960 Speaker 1: they can do that and control and let that defense 207 00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:58,079 Speaker 1: just eat Seattle Seahawks back in the Super Bowl Levi Stadium. 208 00:10:58,080 --> 00:10:59,720 Speaker 2: See you're there, Be there, be square. 209 00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:02,040 Speaker 3: I would love to see it. This LA team is 210 00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:03,960 Speaker 3: going to be a tough task, Richard. These teams know 211 00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:06,080 Speaker 3: each other all too well. And when you thought you 212 00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:09,160 Speaker 3: could get away from the NFC West defeating San Francisco, 213 00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:12,360 Speaker 3: not so fast. Now you got the LA Rams to handle. 214 00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:16,240 Speaker 3: But I'm with you. I mean, Seattle, that environment was wild. 215 00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:16,800 Speaker 2: You were there. 216 00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:19,800 Speaker 3: Obviously, the team looked totally different. They looked like they 217 00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:22,240 Speaker 3: wanted it. And it's amazing to see of these final 218 00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:26,120 Speaker 3: four teams. Look at how dominant the defenses are, right, 219 00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:29,320 Speaker 3: I mean you look at Seattle's defense, and Richard, I 220 00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:32,600 Speaker 3: know you loved Houston's defense all season long, but my goodness, 221 00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:35,439 Speaker 3: what I saw last night from Seattle, they have made 222 00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:37,240 Speaker 3: me a believer. I think they might be the best 223 00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:39,760 Speaker 3: in the league, and they deserve to be in this situation. 224 00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:44,319 Speaker 3: Sam Donald, Holy cow, a battle of Sam Donald and 225 00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:46,920 Speaker 3: Matthew Stafford to go to the Super Bowl. Who would 226 00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:49,800 Speaker 3: have thought that Matthew Stafford this late in his career, 227 00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:52,440 Speaker 3: for him to battle all the injuries and overcome everything. 228 00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:54,079 Speaker 3: I never would have thought when he was traded from 229 00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:57,280 Speaker 3: Detroit that he would have this longevity with his career. 230 00:11:57,320 --> 00:11:59,600 Speaker 3: And I don't even know if La Rams thought that 231 00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:02,720 Speaker 3: so impressive for him to be putting up this caliber 232 00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:05,400 Speaker 3: of the season. And I know that as well as 233 00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:07,680 Speaker 3: these teams know each other, Richard, there's got to be 234 00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:10,760 Speaker 3: some level of frustration with man. We gotta face Pooka 235 00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:16,600 Speaker 3: and Nicoula again, kiraen Williams again, Richard, is what are 236 00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:18,520 Speaker 3: going to be the X factors in this game? Is 237 00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:21,760 Speaker 3: there any of that familiarity? I mean this Pooka Nkua 238 00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:24,359 Speaker 3: has got to be a tough task for the Seattle Seahawks. 239 00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:28,440 Speaker 1: Mitchell, great defenses. Don't think like that, Minchell. That's how 240 00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:30,880 Speaker 1: I know you ain't been playing on great defenses, Mitchell, 241 00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:35,920 Speaker 1: because you relish the challenge. You relish getting the opportunity 242 00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:38,040 Speaker 1: to make up. They gave up thirty seven points in 243 00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:40,960 Speaker 1: that ball game. That's a ball game. They're ashamed of, Mitchell. 244 00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:45,240 Speaker 1: They're gonna be combing through that film every single day, 245 00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:48,280 Speaker 1: every mistake they made, every adjustment they have to make. 246 00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:48,760 Speaker 2: Mitchell. 247 00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:51,280 Speaker 1: They're looking forward to seeing pookin the cool and the 248 00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:53,880 Speaker 1: Rams coming to town so they can tell show the 249 00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:57,439 Speaker 1: world on the biggest stage that that was an aberration. 250 00:12:57,640 --> 00:13:00,600 Speaker 1: Baby y'all saw his battle and give up those points. 251 00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:03,280 Speaker 1: But that ain't who we are. We are one of 252 00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:05,800 Speaker 1: the best defenses, if not the best defense in the 253 00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:07,000 Speaker 1: National Football League. 254 00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:10,800 Speaker 2: It's gonna be electric. It's gonna be electric. 255 00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:16,080 Speaker 1: Nick em and Warri Witherspoon, Julian Love, then the D line, Mitchell, 256 00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:19,560 Speaker 1: Leonard Williams, the big Cat. He's gonna have himself a day, 257 00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:23,720 Speaker 1: Go Jaring Reid, go Byron Murphy, Ernest Jones is having 258 00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:27,679 Speaker 1: a Pro Bowl, All Pro season. They're gonna get this 259 00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:30,080 Speaker 1: showcase it. I think the Rams will be ready, but 260 00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:32,160 Speaker 1: I just can't imagine them being that ready. 261 00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:32,520 Speaker 2: Mitchell. 262 00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:36,400 Speaker 1: What the Seattle Seahawks right now are becoming what they're 263 00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:39,400 Speaker 1: the way they're playing, They're a freight train, Mitchell, and 264 00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:41,200 Speaker 1: you do not want to be on the tracks with 265 00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:45,120 Speaker 1: that defense going down the way. And I think that's sure. 266 00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:49,120 Speaker 1: It's a division game. Chris Shula and the Rams are 267 00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:52,120 Speaker 1: gonna dial up all these exotic pressures. But there's one 268 00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:55,320 Speaker 1: thing that changed for the Seattle Seahawks the last game 269 00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:59,360 Speaker 1: I saw them. I saw even with the abdominal injury, 270 00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:02,400 Speaker 1: the core injury, Sam Donald pushed the ball down the 271 00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:05,360 Speaker 1: field to Rashid Shaheed Mitchell on the tape. 272 00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:07,520 Speaker 2: It will happen. It will happen. 273 00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:09,600 Speaker 1: And if these Rams play as shallow as they did 274 00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:11,880 Speaker 1: the last couple of games, I need to see it 275 00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:14,560 Speaker 1: again and I think it's gonna go great. Rashid Shaheed 276 00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:17,240 Speaker 1: is the X factor in this game, Mitchell. And then 277 00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:19,760 Speaker 1: I'll just say the entire Seattle Seahawks defense, because I 278 00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:20,200 Speaker 1: can't pick. 279 00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:25,120 Speaker 2: Somebody. Might be the Marcus Lawrence, the guy who's just the. 280 00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:28,360 Speaker 1: Tone setter they can play after place, showing his effort 281 00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:32,320 Speaker 1: jumping off the tape. It might be Byron Murphy getting pressure. 282 00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:34,600 Speaker 1: It may be Nick emm and Warred. It may be 283 00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:38,680 Speaker 1: reawooling in the back end. It may be Kobe Bryant. 284 00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:42,120 Speaker 1: Like you never know what this defense, who's gonna make 285 00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:43,920 Speaker 1: the play? All you know is a play is gonna 286 00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:46,640 Speaker 1: be made. The lights are going off, Mitchell. It's the 287 00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:48,800 Speaker 1: dark side, Mitchell. They're turning in the lights down. 288 00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:52,480 Speaker 3: I love it. I love it. This team is so impressive, man. 289 00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:54,600 Speaker 3: It's give me vibes of your playing days with the 290 00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:58,560 Speaker 3: Legion of Boom. Such a dominant defense and Sam Donald 291 00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:01,000 Speaker 3: the pressure is gonna be on him. Can he deliver 292 00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:04,480 Speaker 3: enough offensively to knock off the LA Rams, which I'm 293 00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:06,720 Speaker 3: expecting a little bit of a shootout, my friend. I 294 00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:08,680 Speaker 3: know you might not think that, but I think that 295 00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:11,720 Speaker 3: Matthew Stafford's got something up his sleeve as well. Let's 296 00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:15,320 Speaker 3: take it to the AFC Richard, what we said going 297 00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:17,760 Speaker 3: into this game couldn't happen happened? 298 00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:18,520 Speaker 2: CJ. 299 00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:22,720 Speaker 3: Stroud, Oh boy, two games in a row. Man was 300 00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:28,000 Speaker 3: it was a CJ. Stroud pick after pick after pick 301 00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:32,400 Speaker 3: and then the fumbles in crucial moments. This Texans defense 302 00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:34,240 Speaker 3: tried to do everything they could to keep him in 303 00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:39,160 Speaker 3: the game, but ultimately the turnovers were insurmountable. The Texans 304 00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:42,400 Speaker 3: fall to the Patriots twenty nine or twenty eight to sixteen, 305 00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:45,080 Speaker 3: and the Pats go on to Denver to play the 306 00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:49,520 Speaker 3: bow nixless Denver Broncos. Richard, your thoughts on the Pats 307 00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:50,400 Speaker 3: in Texans game? 308 00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:53,080 Speaker 1: Well, first off, I want to give the Pets a 309 00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:55,600 Speaker 1: ton of credit. They battled to their defense, showed up 310 00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:58,240 Speaker 1: in a big way. Our guy Carlton Davis for into 311 00:15:58,280 --> 00:16:02,520 Speaker 1: the program, had two winners in the game, played magnificent football. 312 00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:05,200 Speaker 1: Got a little banged up, but came back and just 313 00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:10,119 Speaker 1: kept battling. Marcus Jones that picked six, just the incredible 314 00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:14,680 Speaker 1: speedster special teams, offense, defense doing it all, but got 315 00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:17,080 Speaker 1: a fumble recovery in this game, got a pick six 316 00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:20,600 Speaker 1: that really really flipped turned the tide of this game 317 00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:25,480 Speaker 1: because again the Houston Texans defense after the initial touchdown 318 00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:30,160 Speaker 1: where they ran the zero and Douglass caught the touchdown pass, 319 00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:33,920 Speaker 1: they didn't give up much. So in order for the 320 00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:38,120 Speaker 1: Patriots to get field position, they were depending on those 321 00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:42,560 Speaker 1: interceptions and turnovers from Stroud, and literally those turnovers turned 322 00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:46,320 Speaker 1: into no points. The only points that they turned was 323 00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:48,560 Speaker 1: the pick six because the defense didn't get a chance 324 00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:50,320 Speaker 1: to get on the field. If they would have got 325 00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:52,400 Speaker 1: him stopped, something tells me that would have been three 326 00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:54,360 Speaker 1: and that might have been a difference in the game. 327 00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:57,760 Speaker 1: But you got to give Mike Rabel all the credit 328 00:16:57,800 --> 00:17:03,400 Speaker 1: in the world because this Houston team on paper, obviously 329 00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:06,600 Speaker 1: without Nico Collins and they lost Dalton Schultz in the game, 330 00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:09,400 Speaker 1: but they're the more they were the more talented team. 331 00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:13,119 Speaker 1: This Patriots defense, you're not looking at them outside of 332 00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:16,240 Speaker 1: Christian Zalez and Carlton Davis and thinking, oh man. 333 00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:17,080 Speaker 2: These are world beaters. 334 00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:20,320 Speaker 1: It's a lot of guys that splane and play Von 335 00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:25,160 Speaker 1: Chason and guys bar More Milton Williams. Milton Williams got 336 00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:27,919 Speaker 1: his money and played fantastic with the Philadelphia Eagles and 337 00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:31,280 Speaker 1: continues his fantastic play with the New England Patriots. But 338 00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:34,679 Speaker 1: this isn't a big name defense, but they play with 339 00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:39,119 Speaker 1: an incredible effort and attention to detail that allows them 340 00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:41,880 Speaker 1: to be in every game they I think they heard 341 00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:44,160 Speaker 1: all the noise about the Houston Texans, and it may 342 00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:46,280 Speaker 1: have been just me, but I know everybody's talking about 343 00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:48,720 Speaker 1: the Houston Texans defense, and I thought they'd be enough 344 00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:50,560 Speaker 1: to overcome c J. 345 00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:51,919 Speaker 2: Stroud and his issues. 346 00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:54,520 Speaker 1: But I also never in the world thought after the 347 00:17:54,560 --> 00:17:56,800 Speaker 1: issues he had in the last game in Pittsburgh that 348 00:17:56,880 --> 00:18:00,000 Speaker 1: he would have a game even worse than that going forward. 349 00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:01,840 Speaker 2: I cannot imagine that. 350 00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:07,479 Speaker 1: And clearly my football prediction skills are a little rusty 351 00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:11,560 Speaker 1: with that because he had five fumbles in the in 352 00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:14,720 Speaker 1: the game before lost, I think he lost two or three, 353 00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:19,480 Speaker 1: and and in this game he threw four interceptions down 354 00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:22,240 Speaker 1: not all four wears fault three were his fault, one 355 00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:24,439 Speaker 1: was off the receiver's hands and got tipped in the 356 00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:27,159 Speaker 1: air and he probably should have caught that, but again, 357 00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:31,000 Speaker 1: you can't do it when your team needs better. You know, 358 00:18:31,359 --> 00:18:33,760 Speaker 1: there were times at halftime there were people calling for 359 00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:36,280 Speaker 1: him to get benched. He played better in the second half, 360 00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:41,040 Speaker 1: but it's gonna be a tough offseason for him. You know, 361 00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:43,880 Speaker 1: he as a rookie played like a top five quarterback. 362 00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:46,480 Speaker 1: He was the top five quarterback. So when you show 363 00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:49,200 Speaker 1: that kind of ceiling, when you show that kind of talent, 364 00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:55,480 Speaker 1: it's the scrutiny is gonna be just as high because people. 365 00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:56,119 Speaker 2: Know what you can be. 366 00:18:56,240 --> 00:19:00,159 Speaker 1: When when people don't know that you can reach this peak, 367 00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:03,840 Speaker 1: then everything they're judging you off of what each season, Hey, 368 00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:06,600 Speaker 1: how to do, how to do here? You know, critique him, 369 00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:09,080 Speaker 1: But when you play at such a high level so early, 370 00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:12,640 Speaker 1: that becomes your the place that they judge you from, 371 00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:15,520 Speaker 1: and anything below that is going to be highly scrutinized. 372 00:19:15,520 --> 00:19:17,760 Speaker 1: And that's you know, I'm sure he would accept the 373 00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:20,120 Speaker 1: scrutiny because he's a he's a he's a player that's 374 00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:23,200 Speaker 1: accountable to the performance that he puts on the field. 375 00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:25,119 Speaker 1: And it was not good enough. And I know his 376 00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:27,399 Speaker 1: teammates and his defense at all the right things. But 377 00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:30,560 Speaker 1: that's frustrating as a defense. I've you getting a game 378 00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:33,640 Speaker 1: where the quarterback those four interceptions. You're battling your butt off. 379 00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:40,200 Speaker 1: But Will Anderson forced two fumbles, three sacks, like he 380 00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:43,520 Speaker 1: was fighting. Daniel Hunter forced to fumble. I think he 381 00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:46,280 Speaker 1: should have just laid on the football and recovered that one. 382 00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:48,240 Speaker 1: But he was trying to make a big play, a 383 00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:53,040 Speaker 1: huge play in the game. But they have all the pieces. 384 00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:56,320 Speaker 1: They have all the pieces. They won ten straight games. 385 00:19:56,600 --> 00:20:00,520 Speaker 1: The futures brighton Houston. But when you have the opportunity 386 00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:05,520 Speaker 1: with a defense like that and an AFC championship team 387 00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:10,120 Speaker 1: waiting for you without their starting quarterback, you relish those 388 00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:12,440 Speaker 1: opportunities and you got to take advantage of them. And 389 00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:15,639 Speaker 1: I tell something tells me that Houston's going to look 390 00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:18,359 Speaker 1: back on this game and for years to come and 391 00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:21,919 Speaker 1: think about what could have been. Now for the New 392 00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:24,480 Speaker 1: England Patriots, you give Drake May a lot of credit. 393 00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:26,960 Speaker 1: He's been having an incredible year and he had his 394 00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:30,119 Speaker 1: own set of issues. He threw an interception, fumbled the 395 00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:35,159 Speaker 1: ball three times, and was poised enough down the stretch 396 00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:39,080 Speaker 1: to deliver a beautiful pass to Kai Shan Boody over 397 00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:42,400 Speaker 1: Derek Stingley, first team All Pro, one of the best 398 00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:45,920 Speaker 1: corners in the National Football League. One handed catch during 399 00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:48,840 Speaker 1: a critical moment. That's a growing moment for him as well. 400 00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:52,480 Speaker 1: It was really cool to see him grow. The defense 401 00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:57,520 Speaker 1: continue to battle. Remandre Stevenson and Trey Hendricks. Henderson were 402 00:20:57,640 --> 00:21:01,360 Speaker 1: you know, tandem getting it done on the ground. Stefan 403 00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:04,000 Speaker 1: Diggs made a critical play late in the game, and 404 00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:06,680 Speaker 1: again their defense made the plays they had to. And 405 00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:11,399 Speaker 1: I would expect this new England Patriots team to be 406 00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:14,600 Speaker 1: able to beat this Denver Broncos team. The Denver Broncos 407 00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:17,359 Speaker 1: will create a lot of issues. Will Campbell's gonna have 408 00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:20,119 Speaker 1: to figure some things out because Danil Hunter had his 409 00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:22,400 Speaker 1: way with him, just like Miles Garrett had their way 410 00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:25,400 Speaker 1: with him. And I'm sure Cooper and Bonito are looking 411 00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:27,440 Speaker 1: at that tape and saying, hey, we got some of 412 00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:29,800 Speaker 1: those moves in our bag too, and we look forward 413 00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:33,000 Speaker 1: to seeing you brother. I think he's gonna have to 414 00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:36,280 Speaker 1: end up bouncing into to guard at some point. But 415 00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:38,959 Speaker 1: that was the that was the conversation about him coming 416 00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:40,840 Speaker 1: out of college. But I'm not an offensive line expert. 417 00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:45,560 Speaker 1: So I'm not gonna go down that argument, but I 418 00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:48,000 Speaker 1: think the Denver Broncos defense can do it. But I'm 419 00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:49,840 Speaker 1: not sure about Jared Sidham. I mean, I'm not sure 420 00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:52,040 Speaker 1: about him because he's only started four games he's won, 421 00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:55,320 Speaker 1: and four we don't have a lot of tape on him. 422 00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:57,399 Speaker 1: He was drafted by the New England Patriots in the 423 00:21:57,440 --> 00:21:59,600 Speaker 1: fourth round, so if anybody has the tape on him 424 00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:04,840 Speaker 1: and the scouting report on him, it's the New England Patriots. Obviously, 425 00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:07,000 Speaker 1: he's been with Sean Payton for the last three years 426 00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:08,840 Speaker 1: and been getting coached by him. 427 00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:12,080 Speaker 2: But it's gonna be a tough task. 428 00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:15,480 Speaker 1: It's good tall mountain to climb for Jared Stidham to 429 00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:20,280 Speaker 1: be making his first playoff start in the AFC Championship Game. 430 00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:23,639 Speaker 1: His four starts are the least amount of starts for 431 00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:26,280 Speaker 1: a quarterbacks starting an AFC Championship game in the history 432 00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:28,440 Speaker 1: of the National Football League, and that says a lot. 433 00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:32,520 Speaker 3: It's unbelievable, man, I mean, just the circumstances how they 434 00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:37,360 Speaker 3: played out. Boone's taking a knee, breaking his ankle. Man, 435 00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:39,800 Speaker 3: it's got to suck the energy out of that building. 436 00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:42,600 Speaker 3: I can only imagine. I mean, we talked about injuries 437 00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:45,919 Speaker 3: all season long with the forty nine ers and the devastation, 438 00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:49,440 Speaker 3: but losing your quarterback, your signal caller. I don't know 439 00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:52,000 Speaker 3: if there's a worse feeling in the world, because, like 440 00:22:52,119 --> 00:22:55,119 Speaker 3: you said, Jared Stidham coming in with four career starts. 441 00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:57,560 Speaker 3: We'll see how it plays out. But credit to this 442 00:22:57,680 --> 00:23:01,320 Speaker 3: New England Patriots team. They clearly won the offseason. They 443 00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:04,720 Speaker 3: had a dominant free agency class, and they also killed 444 00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:06,960 Speaker 3: it in the draft and we see that playing itself 445 00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:09,200 Speaker 3: out on the field. For Drake may to have this 446 00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:12,040 Speaker 3: much success this early in his career, and for the 447 00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:14,960 Speaker 3: New England Patriots to go from bottom to top so 448 00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:19,000 Speaker 3: quick after Tom Brady, we saw a massive falloff from them. 449 00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:21,800 Speaker 3: To rise from the ashes and be back to you know, 450 00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:25,840 Speaker 3: league relevance is an unbelievable story under Mike Vrabel with 451 00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:29,119 Speaker 3: the failed experiment of Gerrod Mayo last year, what a 452 00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:32,960 Speaker 3: turnaround for this franchise. Franchise and they have the pieces 453 00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:36,359 Speaker 3: in place for this to be stable for years to come. 454 00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:40,040 Speaker 3: In terms of the Houston Texans, you touched on CJ. Stroud. 455 00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:43,400 Speaker 3: He set a very high bar for himself his rookie year, 456 00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:46,639 Speaker 3: he had a very stable offensive line protecting him in 457 00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:50,160 Speaker 3: some solid wide out weapons. Last year was a different story. 458 00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:53,400 Speaker 3: The story was about the offensive line not protecting him, tanked, 459 00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:56,280 Speaker 3: Dell goes out. At this point in the season, c J. 460 00:23:56,400 --> 00:23:59,200 Speaker 3: Stroud has made do with everything he could. But I 461 00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:01,679 Speaker 3: think this was the first game we witnessed that they 462 00:24:01,880 --> 00:24:05,719 Speaker 3: truly needed Joe Mixon. Wood He marks with a massive fumble, 463 00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:07,359 Speaker 3: I mean, Richard, they were they were going in to 464 00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:09,640 Speaker 3: potentially tie that game, and way through the third quarter, 465 00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:13,040 Speaker 3: Woody Marx puts it on the ground and momentum. 466 00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:14,119 Speaker 2: Quickly shifts to New England. 467 00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:17,080 Speaker 3: This Houston Texan team, no question about it, has a 468 00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:19,879 Speaker 3: championship defense, but so much has to be addressed on 469 00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:22,359 Speaker 3: the offensive side of the ball. And my main question 470 00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:25,479 Speaker 3: for you is is CJ. Stroud that guy in Houston? 471 00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:29,040 Speaker 3: Because they have clearly have a champion, championship defense, But 472 00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:31,800 Speaker 3: these last two years have made start to question that. 473 00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:35,920 Speaker 1: It's They're gonna have to figure that out. They're gonna 474 00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:38,480 Speaker 1: have to figure that out. After his rookie year, I 475 00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:40,159 Speaker 1: would have said, no question about it, Why aren't we 476 00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:42,560 Speaker 1: paying this guy? Pay him top of the market money. 477 00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:46,920 Speaker 1: You know, with this playoff performance over the last two games, 478 00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:50,800 Speaker 1: I'm sure they're they're having their own internal conversations. There 479 00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:52,960 Speaker 1: were people and a lot of people, and the noise 480 00:24:53,080 --> 00:24:57,040 Speaker 1: was really loud on Twitter and social media. To replace 481 00:24:57,119 --> 00:24:59,399 Speaker 1: him with Davis Mills at halftime, that's how bad it 482 00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:01,600 Speaker 1: was getting for this team. To just give them a 483 00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:04,160 Speaker 1: chance to move the ball down the field. Don't ruin 484 00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:06,840 Speaker 1: this really good defense that you have because we can't 485 00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:08,399 Speaker 1: push the ball down the field. We can't throw it 486 00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:12,480 Speaker 1: at all without holding our breath. And I just I 487 00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:15,960 Speaker 1: don't know if it's the coordinator. Some of it is confidence. 488 00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:20,639 Speaker 1: Maybe he needs to work with somebody this offseason and 489 00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:22,600 Speaker 1: try to get some things fixed and correct it. 490 00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:25,440 Speaker 2: But you saw it early on. You know, his confidence 491 00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:27,159 Speaker 2: just wasn't there. Early in the season. 492 00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:30,000 Speaker 1: They lost three games and we started the season oh three, 493 00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:32,280 Speaker 1: and he just looked like a different kind of quarterback. 494 00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:34,760 Speaker 1: He started to You saw moments and flashes throughout the 495 00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:36,960 Speaker 1: season where he looked like the guy. He looked like 496 00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:39,120 Speaker 1: the c. J. Stroud of old. You know, where he's 497 00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:43,040 Speaker 1: pinpoint pass, is accurate, reading the defense, poisoning in the pocket, 498 00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:47,639 Speaker 1: great pocket movement going through his progressions, but it hasn't 499 00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:51,119 Speaker 1: been that way in these playoffs consistently enough, and so 500 00:25:51,359 --> 00:25:52,800 Speaker 1: I don't think they're gonna get rid of him. 501 00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:53,000 Speaker 2: I don't. 502 00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:54,520 Speaker 1: I don't expect him to move off of him. I 503 00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:58,200 Speaker 1: think he's shown too much immense potential, and he use 504 00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:00,800 Speaker 1: so much draft capital on him him. I don't think 505 00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:02,440 Speaker 1: you move off of him that quick. You don't have 506 00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:05,320 Speaker 1: a ready made plan. So I think they they're obviously 507 00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:08,000 Speaker 1: gonna stick with him for this next season and just 508 00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:11,680 Speaker 1: hope that he gets through these these issues. But I 509 00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:13,879 Speaker 1: think if they start to pop up again next season, 510 00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:17,119 Speaker 1: that's gonna be a serious conversation and something they seriously consider. 511 00:26:18,119 --> 00:26:19,520 Speaker 2: Well, Richard, this is it. 512 00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:23,240 Speaker 3: We have the AFC and NFC Championship games next weekend, 513 00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:26,119 Speaker 3: and we're gonna be bringing you guys another you Know 514 00:26:26,280 --> 00:26:28,840 Speaker 3: episode later this week, breaking down these matchups in more 515 00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:32,040 Speaker 3: detail before we leave, Man, how fired up? I see 516 00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:34,720 Speaker 3: you with the Seattle Seahawks hat, and I gonna swap over. 517 00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:36,720 Speaker 3: I'm gonna jump on the bandwagon for the rest of 518 00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:40,320 Speaker 3: the season. I'm gonna rock my Seattle Seahawks hat, you know, 519 00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:42,360 Speaker 3: and hopefully they can pull this thing off and keep 520 00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:45,080 Speaker 3: this train rolling. How fired up are you for for 521 00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:47,640 Speaker 3: them to be back in the NFC Championship game. 522 00:26:48,520 --> 00:26:51,600 Speaker 1: I'm really fired up. I'm excited for him. Especially the 523 00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:54,440 Speaker 1: way this defense is playing and the way Kenneth Walker 524 00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:56,639 Speaker 1: is running the ball. It just seems like they're firing 525 00:26:56,720 --> 00:26:59,680 Speaker 1: on all cylinders, every all three phases of the football. 526 00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:05,360 Speaker 1: They're dominating, their detailed, their incredible. The job that Mike 527 00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:09,119 Speaker 1: McDonald has done building this colchure, building this coaching staff, 528 00:27:09,320 --> 00:27:12,000 Speaker 1: building this roster. Give John Snyder a ton of credit 529 00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:14,760 Speaker 1: for what he's done building this team, building this roster, 530 00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:19,440 Speaker 1: continuing to to not be complacent throughout the season, and 531 00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:22,840 Speaker 1: making the trade for Rashid Saheit in mid season because 532 00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:24,800 Speaker 1: he felt like they needed a spark. And of course, 533 00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:27,119 Speaker 1: I think there's probably two or three games this season 534 00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:29,720 Speaker 1: that Rashid Shaheed has had a hand in winning for 535 00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:34,280 Speaker 1: the Seattle Seahawks. So I think it's it's gonna be 536 00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:39,200 Speaker 1: a fantastic game. It's gonna be great. But this defense 537 00:27:39,359 --> 00:27:40,800 Speaker 1: is showing that they can get it done at a 538 00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:42,200 Speaker 1: high level, and I can't wait to see it. 539 00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:44,760 Speaker 3: Before we leave, Richard, we got to talk about these 540 00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:50,080 Speaker 3: NFL coaching carousel going down right now. Kevin Stefanski, the 541 00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:52,440 Speaker 3: courtesy of the Cleveland Browns, takes a job with the 542 00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:56,440 Speaker 3: Atlanta Falcons. One of the best situations I think out 543 00:27:56,480 --> 00:27:59,800 Speaker 3: there for a prospective head coach. Kevin Stefanski jumps from 544 00:27:59,800 --> 00:28:03,399 Speaker 3: the Rounds to the Falcons. How happy would you be 545 00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:06,119 Speaker 3: with him? I feel like that's a massive upgrade in 546 00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:08,200 Speaker 3: personnel for him as a coach. 547 00:28:12,119 --> 00:28:15,880 Speaker 1: You know, you go from Miles Garrett, the defensive player 548 00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:19,560 Speaker 1: of the year, to to to Pierce Who's Who's a 549 00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:22,760 Speaker 1: young guy who had I mean, there's talent on that defense. 550 00:28:22,840 --> 00:28:25,639 Speaker 1: But let's not act like the Cleveland Browns weren't weren't 551 00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:27,480 Speaker 1: talented a talented football team. 552 00:28:27,520 --> 00:28:27,720 Speaker 2: We're not. 553 00:28:27,920 --> 00:28:31,520 Speaker 1: We're not gonna do that offensively. I think obviously Bejehon 554 00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:35,200 Speaker 1: Robinson is a incredible talent. Will they retain Kyle Pitts. 555 00:28:35,280 --> 00:28:38,320 Speaker 1: That's up in the air. Drake London's a big time talent. 556 00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:40,760 Speaker 1: I'm sure they'll draft well. But guess where their draft 557 00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:43,719 Speaker 1: picks going. Metell. It's going to the l A Rams 558 00:28:43,840 --> 00:28:46,920 Speaker 1: because because they wanted to make some moves in that draft, 559 00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:51,400 Speaker 1: they wanted to get get sexy. But I think I 560 00:28:51,560 --> 00:28:53,920 Speaker 1: think that it's it's a good fit. It's a solid fit. 561 00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:56,120 Speaker 1: I don't feel like it's a splash pick. I think 562 00:28:56,160 --> 00:28:58,959 Speaker 1: it's a safe bet. I think Matt Matt Ryan went 563 00:28:59,040 --> 00:29:02,080 Speaker 1: in there and said, hey, who's the safest guy. He 564 00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:04,440 Speaker 1: didn't want to go in there and get blamed if 565 00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:07,160 Speaker 1: it didn't go well. He knows Kevin Stefanski can build 566 00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:09,880 Speaker 1: a culture. He's a two time NFL Coach of the Year, 567 00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:12,000 Speaker 1: even though I think Kyle Shanahan should have got one 568 00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:14,720 Speaker 1: of those, but the story for a different day. He's 569 00:29:14,760 --> 00:29:16,760 Speaker 1: a two time coach of the Year. He's a guy 570 00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:19,760 Speaker 1: that that that knows how to build a staff, knows 571 00:29:19,840 --> 00:29:22,640 Speaker 1: how to win football games. The NFC South hasn't been 572 00:29:22,680 --> 00:29:25,440 Speaker 1: incredibly competitive as we can As we saw this year, 573 00:29:25,760 --> 00:29:28,200 Speaker 1: it came down to the team that lost and the 574 00:29:28,280 --> 00:29:31,120 Speaker 1: team that depending on another team to win for you 575 00:29:31,240 --> 00:29:34,040 Speaker 1: to make your way in, even though the Carolina Panthers 576 00:29:34,120 --> 00:29:36,240 Speaker 1: got in and put up an incredible fight with the 577 00:29:36,520 --> 00:29:40,040 Speaker 1: with the l A. Rams, I think it's a solid pick. 578 00:29:40,160 --> 00:29:42,560 Speaker 1: I think John Harball with the New York Giants is 579 00:29:42,600 --> 00:29:45,480 Speaker 1: a bit of the same. He'll do a great job. 580 00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:50,360 Speaker 1: I knew there would be issues with with with Shane 581 00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:57,040 Speaker 1: because power power dynamics. When Harball went in there, I 582 00:29:57,120 --> 00:29:59,440 Speaker 1: think that was a hold up. And I'm not speaking 583 00:29:59,520 --> 00:30:02,240 Speaker 1: from any kind of insider information or insider knowledge, but 584 00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:04,160 Speaker 1: I knew that would be the hold up of any 585 00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:07,640 Speaker 1: veteran coach going into the Giants. Who gets finals say 586 00:30:07,760 --> 00:30:10,600 Speaker 1: on the roster and the picks. And I'm sure that 587 00:30:10,760 --> 00:30:13,400 Speaker 1: that was a little touch and go there for a second, 588 00:30:13,480 --> 00:30:18,040 Speaker 1: because I'm not sure he's gonna accept, Hey, Sean Shane's 589 00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:19,920 Speaker 1: making all the picks. And then we'll let you know 590 00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:22,760 Speaker 1: how it goes with John Harball and what he's done, 591 00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:24,720 Speaker 1: how long he's been in this league, what he knows 592 00:30:24,760 --> 00:30:27,160 Speaker 1: about the National Football League. And I'm sure his brother, 593 00:30:27,240 --> 00:30:29,000 Speaker 1: Jim Harball is happy. He was hoping he would go 594 00:30:29,120 --> 00:30:30,840 Speaker 1: to the NFC so he wouldn't have to play him 595 00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:33,320 Speaker 1: if they got all the way through. And guess what, 596 00:30:33,800 --> 00:30:37,160 Speaker 1: he's in the NFC, Jim, and you're in AFC, which 597 00:30:37,240 --> 00:30:39,200 Speaker 1: is a weird swap because they played in the Super 598 00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:41,440 Speaker 1: Bowl once and it was vice versa. But story for 599 00:30:41,480 --> 00:30:44,800 Speaker 1: a different day. I think it's a good pick. I 600 00:30:44,800 --> 00:30:46,720 Speaker 1: think it's a solid pick. I think Robert sala is 601 00:30:46,720 --> 00:30:49,880 Speaker 1: gonna get a job. I would think Baltimore would be 602 00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:53,240 Speaker 1: the place for him if he wants to go there. 603 00:30:53,320 --> 00:30:56,560 Speaker 1: Pittsburgh again, just feels like that kind of those kind 604 00:30:56,600 --> 00:31:00,960 Speaker 1: of defensive minded NFC I mean, af See North teams 605 00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:04,760 Speaker 1: that are just grinded out, good cultures keep coaches for 606 00:31:04,800 --> 00:31:08,760 Speaker 1: a long time. I've heard there's there's interest from Tennessee. 607 00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:13,640 Speaker 1: They they recently moved up there. Their their interview with him, 608 00:31:13,760 --> 00:31:16,960 Speaker 1: so that there's some movement there. I think the Cardinals 609 00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:19,800 Speaker 1: have an interview with him, But I don't know if 610 00:31:19,840 --> 00:31:21,560 Speaker 1: I would suggest him going to the Cardinals. I mean, 611 00:31:21,600 --> 00:31:23,440 Speaker 1: he's been in the NFC the West long enough to 612 00:31:23,520 --> 00:31:25,560 Speaker 1: know what's going on with all these teams and know 613 00:31:25,720 --> 00:31:28,080 Speaker 1: that that's a tough place to you're gonna be fighting 614 00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:31,880 Speaker 1: for the second and third seed. Seattle Seahawks are a 615 00:31:31,960 --> 00:31:35,120 Speaker 1: fantastic football team at a bright future. Sean McVay and 616 00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:38,520 Speaker 1: the Rams are back in the NFC Championship again. The 617 00:31:38,600 --> 00:31:40,640 Speaker 1: San Francisco forty nine is are a team he knows 618 00:31:40,680 --> 00:31:43,120 Speaker 1: it's incredibly well, So I don't think he would take 619 00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:46,320 Speaker 1: that job. But like I said, if Baltimore is a 620 00:31:46,320 --> 00:31:49,560 Speaker 1: great fit, Pittsburgh is a great fit. But I'm here 621 00:31:49,600 --> 00:31:51,480 Speaker 1: in Tennessee, you know, has some traction. 622 00:31:52,640 --> 00:31:55,520 Speaker 3: We shall see what happens. I think Baltimore or Pittsburgh, 623 00:31:55,640 --> 00:31:57,360 Speaker 3: like you said, would be the best fit for him. 624 00:31:57,480 --> 00:32:00,400 Speaker 3: I mean, just teams that identify with their D defense. 625 00:32:01,320 --> 00:32:03,480 Speaker 3: He would certainly bring that heat there for him. And 626 00:32:03,600 --> 00:32:06,640 Speaker 3: I mean, let's be frank, the AFC North Richard is 627 00:32:06,680 --> 00:32:08,760 Speaker 3: pretty much up for grabs right now. So for him 628 00:32:08,800 --> 00:32:11,479 Speaker 3: to go to either Pittsburgh or Baltimore, I think those 629 00:32:11,520 --> 00:32:13,400 Speaker 3: will be fantastic landing spots for him. 630 00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:18,240 Speaker 1: Welcome back.
