Well, welcome to another edition of the Around 0:00:10.160 --> 0:00:13.160 the NFL podcast, presented by the United States Marine Corps. 0:00:13.520 --> 0:00:15.640 My name is Dan Hansons. I'm joining room. I'm just 0:00:15.800 --> 0:00:20.759 uh filled with heroes, Mark Seessler, Chris Wesley, Greg ros 0:00:20.760 --> 0:00:24.560 with thought. What is up? Boys? Hey dude, I just 0:00:24.640 --> 0:00:29.280 had an amazing conversation with a very famous X Raiders 0:00:29.280 --> 0:00:32.760 employee over the phone. Who was Amy Trask's first story 0:00:32.840 --> 0:00:38.160 working on Wow j Work, Little journal work. What's the story? 0:00:39.440 --> 0:00:42.120 I'm not what. I'm not ready to reveal what the 0:00:42.120 --> 0:00:43.919 story is about yet, but it's going to be explosive, 0:00:44.000 --> 0:00:45.760 you know what. It has been revealed. I do want 0:00:45.760 --> 0:00:48.760 to say thank you to the listeners who said they 0:00:49.000 --> 0:00:53.360 we are on episode today. It was double confirmed, and 0:00:53.440 --> 0:00:56.560 I don't know if that's enough. One more Yeah, a 0:00:56.560 --> 0:00:58.960 few more people check it out. But if that's true, 0:00:59.520 --> 0:01:02.880 that would in our thousand episode. Would be sometime in 0:01:02.920 --> 0:01:05.440 the off season April or May. I could figure it out, 0:01:05.480 --> 0:01:07.240 but you know, we won't do that right now. And 0:01:07.400 --> 0:01:10.160 we're already in the works of maybe doing some big 0:01:10.200 --> 0:01:13.399 time plans. Even the Shadowy League figures don't know about this. 0:01:13.720 --> 0:01:16.679 We're gonna present this idea to them of what we 0:01:16.720 --> 0:01:18.679 want to do, but thank you. I'm sure it will 0:01:18.720 --> 0:01:20.720 be met with a shrug and a yeah, let's do 0:01:20.760 --> 0:01:23.319 a follow up meeting about this, and then it will 0:01:23.360 --> 0:01:26.160 be September in week one. That that's just a guess, 0:01:26.880 --> 0:01:30.319 but maybe I'll be proven wrong. Some of the lesser 0:01:30.640 --> 0:01:36.720 enthusiastic Shadowys have been vaulted out of the company's hemisphere. 0:01:37.120 --> 0:01:39.840 Some of them vaulted themselves out of the hemisphere West. 0:01:39.880 --> 0:01:47.039 I imagine after yesterday's huge announcement that the Paramour is 0:01:47.080 --> 0:01:51.240 with Child, what a life changing experience that will be 0:01:51.320 --> 0:01:54.720 for you that you got a lot of feedback from 0:01:54.960 --> 0:01:57.600 the general general populace. I did, and I'd like to 0:01:57.640 --> 0:02:00.000 thank all of them for the messages on Twitter, the mes, 0:02:00.000 --> 0:02:05.240 sages on Instagram, text messages. Thank you all. Keisha and 0:02:05.280 --> 0:02:07.720 I are over the moon West and I had a 0:02:07.760 --> 0:02:10.359 couple of drinks of the Cozy Classy moved by the 0:02:10.400 --> 0:02:14.160 Zeuster after the move and I played baby Boy by 0:02:14.240 --> 0:02:17.760 John Lennon on the jukebox and then uh, Lukisha came 0:02:17.800 --> 0:02:19.920 in and I said, Lukisha, this is actually kind of 0:02:19.960 --> 0:02:22.280 more like a Me and West moment. So that's the 0:02:22.280 --> 0:02:27.119 way to handle your way to have the Christmas lights 0:02:27.200 --> 0:02:29.280 up there to celebrate what. No, but the woman behind 0:02:29.320 --> 0:02:31.440 the bar, which I'm sure you know her well, Mark 0:02:31.639 --> 0:02:34.920 the woman behind the bar, her husband puts up the 0:02:34.960 --> 0:02:37.239 lights every year for the past like twenty five years. 0:02:37.800 --> 0:02:40.080 And he's doing it tomorrow, I believe, or not tomorrow 0:02:40.120 --> 0:02:41.960 the day after thanks you. Oh so that's when they 0:02:42.800 --> 0:02:44.760 why don't pick stuff what we can get? It makes sense, 0:02:45.080 --> 0:02:47.600 makes sense. He's so that put the nails in the 0:02:47.639 --> 0:02:51.280 coffin for where we're going out. Cos he has been 0:02:51.320 --> 0:02:55.840 eliminated because there was a big, huge controversy over UM 0:02:56.000 --> 0:03:00.359 a text chain about the NFL media gathering for tonight 0:03:00.960 --> 0:03:03.519 UH to have some drinks on the EVA Thanksgiving a 0:03:03.639 --> 0:03:06.800 Newish tradition, and I had thrown out the cozy because 0:03:06.800 --> 0:03:09.360 we hadn't been there a lot lately, and Lakisha was 0:03:09.400 --> 0:03:11.440 pushing back and I didn't know what it was all about. 0:03:11.720 --> 0:03:15.000 There was some more misinformation because Colleen was, you know, 0:03:15.440 --> 0:03:17.800 an agent of chaos without even realizing it during the 0:03:17.800 --> 0:03:20.799 planning process, planning the event with two people and then 0:03:20.800 --> 0:03:23.959 not connecting the dots. UM but Ultimately, when I found 0:03:24.000 --> 0:03:26.440 out Lakisha is pregnant, there's you know, the cozy is 0:03:26.760 --> 0:03:29.280 that's a workingman's bar, that's a blue collar bar, that's 0:03:29.320 --> 0:03:31.480 a third shifter bar, and there a lot of guys 0:03:31.480 --> 0:03:34.600 smoking outside, and she was worried about worried about secondhand 0:03:34.639 --> 0:03:36.839 smoke wafting in. So am I gonna pound the table 0:03:36.880 --> 0:03:39.200 about the cozy with a pregnant lady? No, we found 0:03:39.240 --> 0:03:41.680 out all the theories out there in the second guessing 0:03:41.680 --> 0:03:44.760 about whether the smoke factor was a little overplayed. It's real. 0:03:44.880 --> 0:03:47.920 Keisha even yesterday spent most of the time there with 0:03:47.960 --> 0:03:51.000 her shirt over her nose, and the late period of 0:03:51.360 --> 0:03:54.400 Jackson waft of smoke every couple of seconds. Although I 0:03:54.400 --> 0:03:57.040 do love the smell of secondhand smoke and realizab we 0:03:57.080 --> 0:03:59.960 have a younger time when your buddies would be smoking 0:04:00.000 --> 0:04:02.640 around you. I I don't smoke. I never was a smoker, 0:04:02.640 --> 0:04:06.400 but I do like like the social aspect of people 0:04:06.400 --> 0:04:09.440 smoking and drinking. In theory, that's what I used to think. 0:04:09.520 --> 0:04:12.480 But then I also remember in college all my clothes 0:04:12.520 --> 0:04:15.480 smelled like smoke at all times. You would in every 0:04:15.480 --> 0:04:18.120 bar in New Orleans, And so that's that's an egg. 0:04:18.160 --> 0:04:20.360 It's a little nostalgic, but I don't know. Lukisha also 0:04:20.360 --> 0:04:22.560 mentioned that there was no food options at the cozy. 0:04:22.680 --> 0:04:24.600 Not true. I do believe they have that like big 0:04:24.720 --> 0:04:28.200 jar of like eggs and framale hyde that had been 0:04:28.200 --> 0:04:31.960 there late seventies. Picks going to college in New England. 0:04:32.120 --> 0:04:33.920 You would go back to the dorms and you'd see 0:04:33.920 --> 0:04:36.360 everyone's jackets being hung out the window in the middle 0:04:36.360 --> 0:04:37.880 of the winter. Did you get aired out from all 0:04:37.920 --> 0:04:41.960 the smoke? Uh? Anyway, memories, memories, memories should be a 0:04:41.960 --> 0:04:45.520 good night Okay you coming? I am. Yeah. I was 0:04:45.560 --> 0:04:47.360 the one that suggested the place that we're actually gonna 0:04:47.400 --> 0:04:50.480 end up going. Okay, good So you played peacemaker look 0:04:50.480 --> 0:04:52.960 at you of course? Yeah? Remember you said, I all 0:04:52.960 --> 0:04:55.000 of a sudden changed my tune and you were like, oh, 0:04:55.080 --> 0:04:57.880 Lakisha must have put a knife in your tire. And 0:04:57.920 --> 0:05:01.440 I was like, wow, something something something that. What what 0:05:01.520 --> 0:05:05.280 are the odds that in the end something else comes up? 0:05:05.320 --> 0:05:07.200 For it just doesn't happen, you don't show up. I 0:05:07.240 --> 0:05:11.160 can see that personally. No, I've I've been planning on 0:05:11.240 --> 0:05:14.039 it because especially now nothing better to do. No, I 0:05:14.080 --> 0:05:15.800 have a lot. I have a lot to do, so 0:05:15.839 --> 0:05:19.640 it's a stop. It's it's stop. It's not the full 0:05:19.760 --> 0:05:23.920 night we can get. Yeah, thank you, But I would say, 0:05:23.920 --> 0:05:26.320 if you're just making it a stop, you get less 0:05:26.360 --> 0:05:29.479 say in the organization. I don't think she would agree 0:05:29.480 --> 0:05:32.960 with that concept, though, I like, I know what the 0:05:33.000 --> 0:05:35.279 people want and guess where we're going. Where I suggested 0:05:36.360 --> 0:05:40.320 all right doesn't sit with me. Well, Dan, stop by, Dan, 0:05:40.800 --> 0:05:43.120 I'm going you guys are we're starting at like eight 0:05:43.120 --> 0:05:49.720 o'clock like I don't normally go out to the generation. 0:05:51.160 --> 0:05:55.320 Shut up? All right, Okay, let's get it, let's get 0:05:55.360 --> 0:05:58.679 to work. It is the show's a day earlier because 0:05:58.720 --> 0:06:03.160 of the Thanksgiving holiday. The week thirteen previews upon us. 0:06:03.360 --> 0:06:07.120 Uh tomorrow, no excuse me, Friday, you will hear the 0:06:07.320 --> 0:06:10.039 recap of the three Thanksgiving games that we previewed on 0:06:10.120 --> 0:06:13.239 yesterday's show. Mark and I will be handling those duties. 0:06:14.320 --> 0:06:18.039 But until then, we have uh more games to get to. 0:06:18.080 --> 0:06:20.479 In fact, it's over for the buys. There's no more buys. 0:06:21.720 --> 0:06:28.599 Mixed feelings about that. Thirty two teams, three games Thursday. 0:06:28.640 --> 0:06:37.480 Thanks sorry to right to thirteen to talk about correct 0:06:37.560 --> 0:06:40.599 or incorrect that's correct, I fag I've had a pretty 0:06:40.600 --> 0:06:43.480 good math season. Yeah. I mean you've done that specific 0:06:43.560 --> 0:06:46.960 problem before, probably seventy you had to slip up in 0:06:47.120 --> 0:06:49.680 London when you couldn't divide thirty eight by two while 0:06:49.720 --> 0:06:52.279 we were playing darts. I think you made it into 0:06:52.360 --> 0:06:54.760 like eighteen. That's actually a tough that's a tough one. 0:06:54.880 --> 0:06:59.880 Let's put you on the two. Ah, what it's kind, 0:07:01.440 --> 0:07:04.000 it's hard. Wait was something about it? I mean that 0:07:04.160 --> 0:07:06.400 is fair. You had enough time? Was well? I wasn't 0:07:06.440 --> 0:07:11.200 listening before study up or else. Your coworkers can make 0:07:11.280 --> 0:07:13.840 fun of you twenty years late. Greg, are you coming tonight? 0:07:13.960 --> 0:07:16.640 You get off the off the hook? No, I am gonna, 0:07:16.760 --> 0:07:21.360 I'm gonna come. I'm no. I have not made any 0:07:22.120 --> 0:07:27.200 opinions made because I know my arrival time is uh 0:07:27.400 --> 0:07:30.280 in flux and my my family that's gonna come first, 0:07:30.320 --> 0:07:32.240 But then then I'll come afterwards. So I'm happy to 0:07:32.320 --> 0:07:34.320 go wherever you guys have to be be at that 0:07:34.400 --> 0:07:38.400 point on this a little late arrival. This threat has 0:07:38.440 --> 0:07:40.840 been raging for like six or seven days, and I 0:07:40.840 --> 0:07:43.320 don't think Greg and I've made a large impact on it. Um, 0:07:43.720 --> 0:07:46.960 all right, let's get into it draft style. The order 0:07:47.320 --> 0:07:51.200 this is gonna be interesting. The order is West, Dan, Mark, Greg. 0:07:52.080 --> 0:07:53.960 We have the game of the year on the schedule. 0:07:54.240 --> 0:07:56.640 We have the biggest Browns game, and so I remember 0:07:56.680 --> 0:07:59.760 what's happening with this. We have a lot cooking. Mark, 0:07:59.840 --> 0:08:03.160 you pick third, West, Uh, you pick first, So get 0:08:03.240 --> 0:08:06.200 us going. I mean it seems to me an obvious 0:08:06.360 --> 0:08:09.840 number one overall pick pick, but perhaps not well. I 0:08:10.000 --> 0:08:14.520 thought about skipping that game just to see if the 0:08:15.040 --> 0:08:18.680 game being the Ravens and forty Niners, because there were 0:08:18.720 --> 0:08:21.800 a lot of promises and posturing going on Sunday between 0:08:21.840 --> 0:08:25.320 you and Mark about what might happen between the Jets games. 0:08:26.080 --> 0:08:30.840 You're thinking a little chaos, see what happens between Mark 0:08:30.920 --> 0:08:33.319 and Dan. But then Greg came in with a pretty 0:08:33.400 --> 0:08:38.080 strong trade offer. What he got it would be changing 0:08:38.240 --> 0:08:42.680 slots and um, which would give me back to back picks. 0:08:42.679 --> 0:08:44.560 I would only have to cover two games as well. 0:08:45.840 --> 0:08:48.960 And Greg also threw in if I have to write 0:08:49.120 --> 0:08:52.400 what we learned, he would write it for me. So 0:08:52.760 --> 0:08:58.400 I'm gonna have to turn him down. That's the best 0:08:58.440 --> 0:09:02.520 part for two reasons, one beyond his control both of them. One, 0:09:03.040 --> 0:09:06.079 I'm not writing what we learned, So that's attempting. Part 0:09:06.120 --> 0:09:09.200 of the offer. Would have maybe thrown in something else. 0:09:09.240 --> 0:09:11.600 I thought you guys were But okay, no, there's nothing 0:09:11.640 --> 0:09:14.240 you could have done, Greg, because you have analyzed this 0:09:14.360 --> 0:09:16.079 draft in the same way I have, and you know 0:09:16.200 --> 0:09:18.560 that this is a three game draft. I just want 0:09:18.640 --> 0:09:21.040 that first game. I didn't analyze anything beyond it that 0:09:21.120 --> 0:09:26.320 I wanted to give you what I could. Yeah, it's like, oh, 0:09:26.400 --> 0:09:28.880 you don't get to watch forty Niners Ravens, but here 0:09:28.920 --> 0:09:30.640 can we We can put you in a nice Titans 0:09:30.679 --> 0:09:34.839 cult today. Nor well, so you are you going with 0:09:34.920 --> 0:09:37.160 the game we all expect, all right, very good? The 0:09:37.240 --> 0:09:40.560 forty Niners at the Ravens ten and one against nine 0:09:40.600 --> 0:09:43.760 into the Ravens, the hottest team in football and west 0:09:44.360 --> 0:09:47.960 it's in the early window. A disgrace. It's all Patriots 0:09:47.960 --> 0:09:49.800 through and everything that they didn't want to move the 0:09:49.880 --> 0:09:52.760 Pats at a prime time on Sunday night football. Uh 0:09:53.000 --> 0:09:55.880 So instead of flexing in the best game of the year, 0:09:56.520 --> 0:09:58.079 a portion of this country, we won't even get to 0:09:58.120 --> 0:10:00.800 watch this game that doesn't see doesn't pass the smell 0:10:00.880 --> 0:10:02.960 testamate and and and you want to hear something else 0:10:03.080 --> 0:10:06.760 that was Cynthia Freeland made uh this point uh this 0:10:06.920 --> 0:10:09.480 morning on our Power Ranking show. This isn't even the 0:10:09.559 --> 0:10:12.840 Joe Buck Troy Aikman game. If you believe that they 0:10:12.880 --> 0:10:15.800 are not covering this game. It is the number two team. 0:10:16.840 --> 0:10:18.559 I don't recall who they are at the top of 0:10:18.600 --> 0:10:22.240 my head. Uh. So you have Davis Kevin Burkard. Nice team, 0:10:22.440 --> 0:10:24.280 it's a very nice team. But you have the number 0:10:24.320 --> 0:10:26.280 two team in the early time slot for the best 0:10:26.320 --> 0:10:27.760 game of the year. Maybe they don't trust it will 0:10:27.760 --> 0:10:32.000 be close. Well, this is as Greg talked about on 0:10:32.320 --> 0:10:36.840 on yesterday's podcast. This Ravens team is probably the closest 0:10:36.880 --> 0:10:39.360 thing we've seen to two thousand Patriots, two thousand seven 0:10:39.400 --> 0:10:42.920 Patriots over the last two months. What they're doing to teams, 0:10:42.960 --> 0:10:45.880 the margin of victory, the convincing style in which they're 0:10:45.880 --> 0:10:50.040 beating good teams and great quarterbacks. And the forty Niners 0:10:50.120 --> 0:10:52.720 past defense is historically great too. It's right up there 0:10:52.760 --> 0:10:55.160 with the Patriots this year. Maybe not quite as good, 0:10:55.880 --> 0:10:58.720 but where is The Patriots secondary is awesome, The forty 0:10:58.800 --> 0:11:03.440 Niners front line is awesome. It's a good matchup and um, 0:11:03.760 --> 0:11:06.880 another Greg statement, styles make fights. This is a good 0:11:06.920 --> 0:11:09.160 one more two different styles. It might be the most 0:11:09.200 --> 0:11:12.040 important first quarter of the year because both teams are 0:11:12.080 --> 0:11:15.400 so good playing with the lead, less because of their 0:11:15.480 --> 0:11:17.439 how good they're running the ball, you know, we know that, 0:11:17.559 --> 0:11:20.360 but more just because they played to their past defense. 0:11:20.480 --> 0:11:23.559 I think the Ravens maybe you could run on them, 0:11:23.760 --> 0:11:25.959 and I'm sure the forty Niners are gonna try. And 0:11:26.000 --> 0:11:28.720 then the forty Niners especially love to get ahead because 0:11:28.800 --> 0:11:33.400 then they can send that defensive line wild uh and 0:11:33.679 --> 0:11:35.839 shut you down. In their secondary is very good. I 0:11:35.880 --> 0:11:38.720 mean they're deep. Sherman's playing great, their safeties are playing great, 0:11:38.760 --> 0:11:41.679 Mosley plays great. If there's ever a game where Lamar 0:11:41.800 --> 0:11:45.079 Jackson is going to struggle throwing the ball, this is 0:11:45.240 --> 0:11:47.720 the chance. Like if they if they put up forty 0:11:47.800 --> 0:11:51.400 points on the forty Niners and their passing game is 0:11:51.559 --> 0:11:53.920 as efficient and he's as accurate as it's been, It's like, 0:11:54.000 --> 0:11:56.160 I don't know who's gonna stop him like this. This 0:11:56.360 --> 0:11:58.160 is the team that you would think could make them 0:11:58.240 --> 0:12:01.160 a little one dimensional and have a chance to slow 0:12:01.200 --> 0:12:02.599 it down. And I don't think this is gonna be 0:12:02.640 --> 0:12:05.320 a blow. I have too much respect for the forty nine. Well, 0:12:05.400 --> 0:12:09.079 I think losing Matt Scurrow your center is an issue 0:12:09.160 --> 0:12:11.520 for Baltimore, and that was sort of drowned out in 0:12:11.640 --> 0:12:15.079 the hoop. Love that evening it. There was a game 0:12:15.080 --> 0:12:17.920 when Cleveland beat Baltimore and you had Myles Garrett and 0:12:17.920 --> 0:12:20.760 Olivier Vernon coming in off the edges. That was a 0:12:20.800 --> 0:12:23.839 game where Lamar Jackson was not very productive through the 0:12:23.920 --> 0:12:26.439 air and he was sloppy, and there were issues with 0:12:26.559 --> 0:12:29.000 their offense from wire to wire that day. But I 0:12:29.160 --> 0:12:31.120 think it's tough even if you have a great pass 0:12:31.200 --> 0:12:33.480 rush to just sort of as they say, pen your 0:12:33.520 --> 0:12:37.880 eyears back whatever that means, and fly towards Lamar Jackson 0:12:37.920 --> 0:12:40.920 because he's a magician. He's suddenly seven yards to the right, 0:12:41.040 --> 0:12:45.000 galloping up field and a dog thing pen years back. Yes, 0:12:45.120 --> 0:12:48.240 I just figured that out. They do that, do no, no, 0:12:48.400 --> 0:12:52.800 I I dogs theirs get pinned back. Well that's that's 0:12:52.800 --> 0:12:54.280 a nice thing for dogs. I guess, I don't know, 0:12:54.920 --> 0:12:58.560 is it. I love this. I mean something else hidden 0:12:58.600 --> 0:13:00.840 in that last game for the dog and like painfall 0:13:00.920 --> 0:13:02.880 and stuff like that, But I don't like it. Yeah, 0:13:02.880 --> 0:13:06.040 exactly good things for dogs is what was on the 0:13:06.080 --> 0:13:08.040 show when Mark said, I don't like it. He winked, 0:13:08.160 --> 0:13:10.959 so he does like it. I don't. I'm largely like 0:13:11.200 --> 0:13:15.000 I'm largely don't think about dogs, but I wish them well. 0:13:15.480 --> 0:13:23.240 Hollywood Brown, Hollywood Brown has been awesome. And the le future. 0:13:25.240 --> 0:13:26.920 I want to tell you one little one, another little 0:13:26.960 --> 0:13:29.079 thing I think I love about the Ravens, so I 0:13:29.240 --> 0:13:31.520 believe it tapped into like a higher power. At this point, 0:13:31.920 --> 0:13:34.280 they now have like pat Rickard their fullback. Did you 0:13:34.360 --> 0:13:37.120 see the clip of him taking the Rams player and 0:13:37.200 --> 0:13:40.360 moving him like fifteen yards off the ball, like the 0:13:40.520 --> 0:13:43.120 whole play went somewhere else. And he is a vicious, 0:13:43.600 --> 0:13:46.959 rumbling wild man and they call it Project Pat. He 0:13:47.040 --> 0:13:49.600 goes out there and just punishes people. I'm gonna say, 0:13:49.679 --> 0:13:51.400 for the third week in a row, everyone's like, this 0:13:51.559 --> 0:13:53.440 is the week the Ravens are gonna be They are 0:13:53.480 --> 0:13:55.559 not going to be tested. This game will not be close. 0:13:55.760 --> 0:13:57.920 I'll be wrong. At some point, I don't think they nut. 0:13:57.960 --> 0:14:00.440 You cannot convince me the Niners, who are a great 0:14:00.480 --> 0:14:03.080 team or anywhere close to the Ravens. I just don't 0:14:03.120 --> 0:14:05.080 know how you'd convinced me of that at this Here's 0:14:05.080 --> 0:14:08.120 a good stat that kind of backs your thought on 0:14:08.200 --> 0:14:10.600 this a little bit. So I saw this on Twitter 0:14:10.640 --> 0:14:13.959 at forty Niners passer rating allowed verse eight pocket passers. 0:14:14.120 --> 0:14:16.600 It's a tick below fifty two, which is terrible. They 0:14:16.640 --> 0:14:19.720 were great for the Niners versus Russell Wilson and Kyler 0:14:19.800 --> 0:14:22.280 Murray this year. Guys that move around and make plays 0:14:22.400 --> 0:14:25.080 like Lamar Jackson. Only Lamar Jackson's better than both those 0:14:25.120 --> 0:14:27.840 guys doing that. The rating shoots up to one oh four. 0:14:27.920 --> 0:14:31.320 So perhaps Lamar Jackson, who's a bad match up for everybody, 0:14:31.640 --> 0:14:35.160 but especially potentially against this front seven of the Niners. 0:14:35.360 --> 0:14:38.880 Yours use of the research pack that was nice was 0:14:39.080 --> 0:14:41.240 like packet I got it off Twitter, having haven't had 0:14:41.240 --> 0:14:43.840 a lot of research packet pop this year, but they've 0:14:43.880 --> 0:14:46.440 been loved that research. Jeff Reholts, the whole team, they 0:14:46.600 --> 0:14:48.840 kill it. It's a large team now. Something that people 0:14:49.040 --> 0:14:52.600 very hard to measure in stats is tackling, and I 0:14:52.680 --> 0:14:54.920 think that was a great point that Collinsworth made on 0:14:55.000 --> 0:14:56.480 the Sunday Night game, is that this might be the 0:14:56.520 --> 0:14:58.720 best tackling team in the league. The forty Niners defense, 0:14:58.760 --> 0:15:02.040 which is very similar to the Seahawks teams over the years. 0:15:02.480 --> 0:15:05.360 Uh they teach tackling in a certain way. They don't 0:15:05.400 --> 0:15:07.480 give up a lot of yards after contact, and that's 0:15:07.520 --> 0:15:09.560 what the Ravens do better than anyone. A lot of 0:15:09.760 --> 0:15:12.680 Ingram and Jackson in the tight ends, a lot of 0:15:12.720 --> 0:15:15.240 their yards are after contact, especially in the running game. 0:15:15.280 --> 0:15:18.120 And if they can tackle well and you have George 0:15:18.200 --> 0:15:20.720 Kittle on the field, it's a different team. And I 0:15:20.760 --> 0:15:23.760 don't think it's some crazy mis mismatch. You would never 0:15:24.520 --> 0:15:28.040 give Kittle the m v P but for non quarterbacks, 0:15:28.720 --> 0:15:30.600 and I know he doesn't have the numbers. It just 0:15:30.720 --> 0:15:33.960 reminds me so much of Gronk that when he's on 0:15:34.080 --> 0:15:38.760 the field, they are a completely different, more dangerous team. 0:15:38.920 --> 0:15:40.880 And he is gonna be on the field. This is 0:15:40.960 --> 0:15:44.880 like the football head, this is their dream matchup. Like, 0:15:46.200 --> 0:15:47.760 I don't know enough to say if this is true, 0:15:47.760 --> 0:15:49.440 but it seems to me you have the number one 0:15:49.920 --> 0:15:53.320 scheming team run game wise versus the number one scheming 0:15:53.440 --> 0:15:56.720 team pass game wise with the forty Niners. Kyle Shanahan 0:15:56.840 --> 0:15:59.760 is scheming receivers open all the time. Pro Football Reference 0:15:59.800 --> 0:16:03.160 had a great stat sorry and um that they the 0:16:03.320 --> 0:16:05.760 Ravens are the first team since the fifty nine Colts 0:16:05.840 --> 0:16:08.920 to have two thousand rushing and two thousand passing yards 0:16:09.000 --> 0:16:12.360 through eleven weeks. They actually have twenty three hundred of each. 0:16:12.640 --> 0:16:15.560 So that's the first team in NFL history to do that. 0:16:15.760 --> 0:16:18.160 So when people talk about balance, it's just like there's 0:16:18.200 --> 0:16:20.680 never been a team like we're seeing something very specially 0:16:20.760 --> 0:16:22.920 with the Ravens. And that's why I have so and 0:16:23.040 --> 0:16:25.120 everybody does. But a lot of respect with the Niners 0:16:25.200 --> 0:16:26.800 been able to do this season. I just don't see 0:16:26.840 --> 0:16:28.280 how you could pick the Niners in this game. I 0:16:28.320 --> 0:16:31.120 think this the Ravens are on a special run that 0:16:31.160 --> 0:16:34.440 we're gonna remember. I think for a long time. Um, 0:16:35.200 --> 0:16:37.000 we all got the Ravens in it. I do, but 0:16:37.120 --> 0:16:40.800 I I picked the forty Niners to keep it closer 0:16:41.040 --> 0:16:42.920 than the desert. You know, the Ravens are a heavy 0:16:42.960 --> 0:16:45.080 favor in this game. I think it will be a good, 0:16:45.480 --> 0:16:49.040 good late, you know, fourth quarter type of game. West. 0:16:49.160 --> 0:16:55.560 What Jamal Adams didn't understand during that trade deadline situation was, yeah, 0:16:55.680 --> 0:16:57.640 you have the note that you have to pick. You 0:16:57.720 --> 0:17:00.600 have this beautiful game. But if some it's calling you 0:17:00.840 --> 0:17:04.320 pick up the phone. You need to hear what people 0:17:04.720 --> 0:17:07.199 are saying to you. You're not doing your job. Otherwise, 0:17:07.240 --> 0:17:09.320 So I thought you did the right move. You didn't count. 0:17:09.320 --> 0:17:11.280 You didn't give me any other offer. Who knows that 0:17:11.400 --> 0:17:13.720 maybe I would have raised it. There was no counter. 0:17:13.800 --> 0:17:15.240 It just got to the point where I looked at 0:17:15.280 --> 0:17:17.680 the four and five seeds on my board and didn't 0:17:17.680 --> 0:17:19.520 want anything to do with them. Greg's eleven it open 0:17:19.560 --> 0:17:23.000 that like maybe VENMO could have been. Yeah, how desperate 0:17:23.080 --> 0:17:25.520 was Greg for that game? Oh? I strategized. I waited 0:17:25.640 --> 0:17:27.560 till like about half an hour before the show. I 0:17:27.600 --> 0:17:29.440 didn't know what you guys are doing behind the scenes. 0:17:29.480 --> 0:17:31.719 They thought i'd I'd hit him right at the last second. Well, 0:17:31.760 --> 0:17:33.480 the same guy who predicted a couple of weeks ago 0:17:33.520 --> 0:17:37.520 that you'd be watching whatever game it was anyway, tweeted 0:17:37.560 --> 0:17:40.720 again that he's doubling down that Greg says he's gonna 0:17:40.760 --> 0:17:43.960 watch this game. I'm not. You can't. It depends on 0:17:44.040 --> 0:17:45.880 how many games are in the morning, and I think 0:17:45.920 --> 0:17:48.080 I'm I'm I didn't realize you could trade into the 0:17:48.160 --> 0:17:50.080 spot of the person with two games. I would have 0:17:50.160 --> 0:17:52.440 been dropping hundred dollar bills on you all season for 0:17:52.560 --> 0:17:54.440 that option. I didn't. I'm gonna get stuck with three 0:17:54.480 --> 0:17:56.320 one for the eighth time and around. You don't even 0:17:56.359 --> 0:17:57.639 have to run about him all used to do us 0:17:57.640 --> 0:18:00.080 talk about I don't know. All right, Mark, let's do 0:18:00.200 --> 0:18:02.520 some business because I'm picking two overall, and I know 0:18:02.640 --> 0:18:04.639 you want the biggest one, the biggest Browns game in 0:18:04.800 --> 0:18:09.399 a decade, decades, decades for me. So I think I 0:18:09.520 --> 0:18:12.920 have what a very fair trade offer that I think 0:18:13.000 --> 0:18:20.000 you'll you'll find appetizing. We swap the two and three picks. Okay, 0:18:20.000 --> 0:18:22.639 I'll take your third, you move up to two, and 0:18:22.760 --> 0:18:28.880 in return, we flip second round picks, so I moved 0:18:28.920 --> 0:18:31.919 one spot ahead of you in the next round. Uh, 0:18:32.000 --> 0:18:36.000 and a conditional pick. And the conditional pick is if 0:18:36.240 --> 0:18:41.639 I um, if this Brown's game goes to overtime, I 0:18:41.840 --> 0:18:44.000 get your first round pick next week and you get 0:18:44.080 --> 0:18:50.159 my last round pick. So this front office operates in 0:18:50.280 --> 0:18:53.040 its own way, and I'm not looking. I don't do 0:18:53.240 --> 0:18:56.239 this to just grab some game that I'm fetishizing over 0:18:56.320 --> 0:18:58.959 all week and must watch on television in our news room, 0:18:59.000 --> 0:19:01.359 which is impossible to con and trade anyways. So I 0:19:01.480 --> 0:19:04.280 will take it because all I really want is to 0:19:04.359 --> 0:19:07.000 watch the Cleveland versus Pittsburgh game. And if if you 0:19:07.080 --> 0:19:09.040 were going to go The other thing when we talked 0:19:09.040 --> 0:19:11.080 about this, and we'll be I'll be brief, was you 0:19:11.160 --> 0:19:12.639 were going to take the Browns game, and I was 0:19:12.680 --> 0:19:14.360 gonna take the Jets game. We're gonna sit a foot 0:19:14.400 --> 0:19:19.040 away from each other. Total annoyance move. And I don't 0:19:19.119 --> 0:19:20.960 like that either, So I will take your trade. I 0:19:21.000 --> 0:19:22.800 don't have the chart. I don't even see what happens 0:19:22.840 --> 0:19:25.240 down the road. You have to approved by the league office. 0:19:26.000 --> 0:19:29.240 I got lost in the conditions. Yeah, I'm very confused. 0:19:30.240 --> 0:19:33.880 It doesn't unfair, and I thank you for not calling 0:19:33.920 --> 0:19:35.719 my bluff because I wouldn't have done it to you anyway. 0:19:35.840 --> 0:19:38.360 But it's been filed with a league office. So Mark, 0:19:38.440 --> 0:19:41.800 you pick second, alright, So I'm gonna pick Jets Bengals. 0:19:42.920 --> 0:19:46.800 I am gonna obviously go Brown Steelers. And you could 0:19:46.880 --> 0:19:48.959 argue that there have been bigger games, like in two 0:19:49.040 --> 0:19:52.320 thousand seven when they had a chance to beat Cincinnati 0:19:52.520 --> 0:19:56.080 and essentially take that division or go to the playoffs 0:19:56.119 --> 0:20:01.520 with it, and they lost. Pittsburgh's a difference situation in Cincinnati, though, 0:20:01.880 --> 0:20:05.720 because the Browns Steelers rivalry essentially has not been one 0:20:06.119 --> 0:20:09.760 for a long, long long time. The Browns have not swept. 0:20:10.200 --> 0:20:13.720 Where were you in n I was in Pearl River, 0:20:13.840 --> 0:20:16.200 in the cold Town. I was a third grader. That 0:20:16.359 --> 0:20:18.680 is the last time when you were in third grade 0:20:18.720 --> 0:20:22.480 that the Browns swept the Steelers in a season. Utterly absurd. 0:20:23.480 --> 0:20:28.040 It is ridiculous. It is ridiculous, and this is going 0:20:28.160 --> 0:20:30.840 to require the Browns. I thought against Miami, you know 0:20:30.960 --> 0:20:33.399 we all watched that by now, I would imagine played 0:20:33.440 --> 0:20:36.200 the best game they've had all year on offense, because 0:20:36.240 --> 0:20:38.040 I thought against the Ravens and Greg, you noted this 0:20:38.080 --> 0:20:39.720 first thing. You're write that it was big plays that 0:20:39.760 --> 0:20:42.960 happen against Baltimore, It wasn't. Uh, you know, can drive 0:20:43.000 --> 0:20:45.200 after drive. The Browns went a little flat against Miami 0:20:45.280 --> 0:20:48.680 the second half, but they used all their weapons for 0:20:48.760 --> 0:20:50.760 the first time I've seen really this whole season. I 0:20:50.800 --> 0:20:53.520
