Speaker 4: But guys, let's get.

56
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:28,920
Speaker 2: Started with all the coaches here in the NFL, because

57
00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:30,880
Speaker 2: this week has kind of felt like a speed dating

58
00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:33,800
Speaker 2: event for the teams and the coaches on the market.

59
00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:37,200
Speaker 2: I like that, right, We've heard who's talking to who,

60
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:41,000
Speaker 2: who's requested to talk to who, who's.

61
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:44,320
Speaker 4: On their second date with these teams. It really does.

62
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:47,240
Speaker 4: It's like a match making system only that was.

63
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:49,440
Speaker 3: Really how they did it. Everyone all together at the

64
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:52,160
Speaker 3: same time. Bring everyone in and you start eliminating if.

65
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:55,400
Speaker 2: Like the Bachelor, but everyone's there. It's like all in

66
00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:57,760
Speaker 2: one room, go and figure it out. I mean, I think,

67
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:02,079
Speaker 2: And it's a reality TV show. I tweeted out like yesterday,

68
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:04,560
Speaker 2: I was like, sports are my reality TV. I don't

69
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:09,000
Speaker 2: watch reality TV at all, Like, so sports, sports are

70
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:12,200
Speaker 2: my reality TV. Okay, So what we're going to share

71
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:15,959
Speaker 2: is what we think the best landing spot or match

72
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:20,600
Speaker 2: for coaches on the move, But first someone found their

73
00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:24,240
Speaker 2: match yesterday. Huge congrats to Antonio Pierce, officially named the

74
00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:26,400
Speaker 2: Raiders head coach on Friday.

75
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:29,240
Speaker 4: This was the right move, right. We heard key players

76
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:29,920
Speaker 4: on this team.

77
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:33,720
Speaker 2: DeVante Adams, Max Crosby be extremely vocal about wanting to

78
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:36,040
Speaker 2: keep Pierce as their head coach. I mean Crosby even

79
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:38,920
Speaker 2: said he would request a trade if Pierce wasn't the

80
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:41,840
Speaker 2: head coach. So, I mean the players kind of backed

81
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:45,240
Speaker 2: ownership into a corner, but in the best way possible

82
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:47,840
Speaker 2: because when they do, they went to fight for their guy.

83
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:50,839
Speaker 3: They knew, right he turned it and hired during the season.

84
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:51,000
Speaker 4: He could have.

85
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:54,560
Speaker 2: I mean, he turned this team's identity around mid season.

86
00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:57,680
Speaker 2: They still need a franchise quarterback. They still have Jimmy

87
00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:00,520
Speaker 2: g under contract for two more seasons. I mean he

88
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:02,680
Speaker 2: only started six games this season, miss two to injury,

89
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:03,360
Speaker 2: then got benched.

90
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:06,200
Speaker 4: So yeah, yeah, yeah, they got somewhere too.

91
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:09,520
Speaker 2: Okay, But let's get to the still available coaches, starting

92
00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:12,520
Speaker 2: with Bill Belichick, because you know what he's going on

93
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:15,560
Speaker 2: his second date with the Atlanta Falcons reported. It was

94
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:17,920
Speaker 2: reported that Bill went to dinner with the owner of

95
00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:19,480
Speaker 2: the Falcons on Thursday night.

96
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:24,240
Speaker 4: So at this point, I'm just curious who's interviewing who here? Right?

97
00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:28,240
Speaker 2: It feels more like do the Falcons work for Bill?

98
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:32,359
Speaker 2: And earlier this week on The Herd, they had Eric Mangini,

99
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:37,000
Speaker 2: former head coach and former Patriots defensive coordinator, talking about

100
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:38,760
Speaker 2: the Bill's situation.

101
00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:43,560
Speaker 4: Here, can we play that sound? Oh? Okay, we will

102
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:44,239
Speaker 4: take a week second.

103
00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:48,919
Speaker 2: We have that sound? So yeah, I think what this

104
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:54,640
Speaker 2: is going to come down to is does Bill want

105
00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:55,000
Speaker 2: to work?

106
00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:57,599
Speaker 4: We do have it? Okay, let's play Eric Mangini sound.

107
00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:01,800
Speaker 5: I don't understand why that's going to announced. And when

108
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:04,159
Speaker 5: they say interviewed, does that mean that Bill's interviewing them,

109
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:09,600
Speaker 5: like they're actually sitting down and interviewing Bill? What questions

110
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:12,480
Speaker 5: are they going to ask Bill that that's going to

111
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:16,279
Speaker 5: determine whether or not he qualified to coach the Atlanta FLA.

112
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:19,440
Speaker 5: I think it's I think it's really a function of

113
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:22,039
Speaker 5: him going and seeing whether or not he can fit

114
00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:24,600
Speaker 5: with the owner. And I doubt it's an interview as

115
00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:27,120
Speaker 5: much as as it is a get to know you.

116
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:30,640
Speaker 5: Can I be comfortable with you? Can we work together?

117
00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:34,720
Speaker 5: Not only from from Arthur Blank's perspective, but from Bill's perspective,

118
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:40,039
Speaker 5: because if that relationship is so critical, and especially for

119
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:44,200
Speaker 5: someone like Bill who is very set in his ways.

120
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:46,520
Speaker 4: It's a full vibe check. I mean, like that's all

121
00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:46,880
Speaker 4: it is.

122
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:50,640
Speaker 2: It's like almost courting, like they need to be courting him,

123
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:52,599
Speaker 2: like will you come here again?

124
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:54,880
Speaker 4: They was reported that he went to dinner with the owner.

125
00:05:56,560 --> 00:06:00,600
Speaker 2: On Thursday, so and he's getting another interview slash meet

126
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:05,040
Speaker 2: and greet. I think I think it can work.

127
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:09,880
Speaker 4: I can see it. I can see this working for

128
00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:11,279
Speaker 4: Bill totally.

129
00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:14,840
Speaker 3: Falcons look sexy right now for various reasons.

130
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:15,320
Speaker 4: They do.

131
00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:17,400
Speaker 2: I mean, they also have the eighth overall draft picks,

132
00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:19,680
Speaker 2: so they can they can get a quarterback. But I

133
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:22,400
Speaker 2: can also see them picking up a veteran during free

134
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:27,720
Speaker 2: agency as well. We heard Kirk Cousins talk about this week.

135
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:30,800
Speaker 2: He was asked about Bill and this is what he

136
00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:31,320
Speaker 2: had to say.

137
00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:35,239
Speaker 6: Yeah, great respect for him as a coach like everyone

138
00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:37,039
Speaker 6: else in pro football. I mean, if you go to

139
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:40,120
Speaker 6: that many Super bowls, win that many Super Bowls, go

140
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:44,359
Speaker 6: to that many conference championship games, you know, have the

141
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:47,479
Speaker 6: defensive production that he's had for years and years it

142
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:47,960
Speaker 6: says it.

143
00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:49,720
Speaker 3: All, would you ever play for him if you got

144
00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:50,120
Speaker 3: a chance.

145
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:52,640
Speaker 6: I'm not going to turn down an opportunity to play

146
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:55,040
Speaker 6: with a you know, future Hall of Fame coach. But

147
00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:58,279
Speaker 6: we'll have to see where March leads. It's just a

148
00:06:58,320 --> 00:06:59,479
Speaker 6: lot of unknowns right now.

149
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:02,400
Speaker 2: So I actually think that could work too. Cousins has

150
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:05,320
Speaker 2: that crazy discipline, that routine. We all saw that on

151
00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:08,920
Speaker 2: that Quarterback show Netflix, and there's a deep respect from

152
00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:12,000
Speaker 2: Kirk to Bill, which I think is really important for

153
00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:16,320
Speaker 2: Bill with his quarterback, doesn't have to go through all

154
00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:18,680
Speaker 2: of the nuances of a young, up and coming quarterback.

155
00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:20,720
Speaker 4: So who knows. I think the Falcons would be a

156
00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:22,280
Speaker 4: good fit for Bill.

157
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:26,520
Speaker 3: Not just that there's untapped potential in a couple of players.

158
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:29,200
Speaker 3: Running back by Jon Robinson. Oh yeah, also tied end

159
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:31,400
Speaker 3: Kyle Pitts, Like, we just don't know what they can

160
00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:34,040
Speaker 3: do offensively. They weren't used enough. No, there's that also

161
00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:38,080
Speaker 3: that division it's there to take. Yeah, you know what

162
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:40,160
Speaker 3: I mean, Like the NFC self doesn't have the Dovis

163
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:43,000
Speaker 3: opponents at the moment. The Bucks won the division with

164
00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:45,160
Speaker 3: the record of nine and eight. Nine and eight, You

165
00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:47,160
Speaker 3: go Bucks. It's not against you, but I'm saying that

166
00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:49,680
Speaker 3: division is ye is there for the taker grabs, right,

167
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:51,840
Speaker 3: Like the Panthers are rebuilding, the Saints are kind of

168
00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:53,840
Speaker 3: just there. I'm telling you, Like I didn't think this,

169
00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:55,840
Speaker 3: but the Falcons look a little sexy, right.

170
00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:58,440
Speaker 2: They look great And not to mention like Bill has

171
00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:03,040
Speaker 2: handed their booties to them a couple of times. Remember

172
00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:05,960
Speaker 2: Falcons fans, can you imagine now if he was on

173
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:07,800
Speaker 2: your side? So yeah, I think that's a good fit.

174
00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:11,240
Speaker 2: Let's move on to Ben Johnson. Okay, the current Lions

175
00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:15,000
Speaker 2: offensive coordinator. He has drawn six head coaching interview requests

176
00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:18,720
Speaker 2: overall so far Panthers, Titans, Chargers, Seahawks, Falcons, but the

177
00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:23,200
Speaker 2: Commanders is the first scheduled interview we're hearing for him,

178
00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:27,200
Speaker 2: and this week he was asked about the commander's new GM,

179
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:28,160
Speaker 2: Adam Peters.

180
00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:30,679
Speaker 7: I know him just very briefly.

181
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:34,800
Speaker 8: I've heard nothing but fantastic things about people that have

182
00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:38,320
Speaker 8: worked with him directly or have met him over the

183
00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:39,800
Speaker 8: course of scouting on the road.

184
00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:43,120
Speaker 7: So I'll look forward to meeting them and talking more so.

185
00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:45,320
Speaker 2: Ron Bradam Peters was a former assistant GM for the

186
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:48,400
Speaker 2: forty nine Ers, so he's coming from an incredible team

187
00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:52,120
Speaker 2: that he helped put together. Honestly, I gotta be honest, it

188
00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:53,959
Speaker 2: feels a little strange that you're in the middle of

189
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:59,199
Speaker 2: a historic run right now with the Lions and you're already.

190
00:08:58,880 --> 00:08:59,520
Speaker 4: Talking about it.

191
00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:01,600
Speaker 2: Feels like you one foot out the door talking about

192
00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:04,079
Speaker 2: your interview, head coach interview.

193
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:06,959
Speaker 4: Like, yes, we know he's he's getting the interview request.

194
00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:09,280
Speaker 2: He's gonna probably leave, most likely leave and be a

195
00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:12,280
Speaker 2: head coach, but just you know, wait a moment. Don't

196
00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:15,880
Speaker 2: talk about it the week between your like historic playoff games, like,

197
00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:17,160
Speaker 2: just hold a be.

198
00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:21,199
Speaker 3: I find it weird all of these coordinators that are

199
00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:25,640
Speaker 3: still in the playoffs are literally interviewing. I find that weird.

200
00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:28,360
Speaker 3: I wish, yeah, I wish they didn't tell us about it.

201
00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:31,520
Speaker 2: Well, no, it's like you can also like wait, no,

202
00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:33,480
Speaker 2: like have your agent deal with that stuff, and then

203
00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:37,199
Speaker 2: when you're asked about it at your team's press conference,

204
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:39,840
Speaker 2: just be like, that's not what I'm thinking about right now.

205
00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:42,480
Speaker 4: That's a good point. You can I can answer that.

206
00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:43,040
Speaker 3: That's a good point.

207
00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:45,400
Speaker 2: You know in a month, yeah, you know, hopefully like

208
00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:48,360
Speaker 2: when you're you know, in the super Bowl, after that

209
00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:53,760
Speaker 2: but I do believe the Commanders are a good fit.

210
00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:58,400
Speaker 2: Yeah for Johnson, right, good GM. Johnson is thirty seven

211
00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:00,280
Speaker 2: and look what he's done for the Lions off and

212
00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:03,520
Speaker 2: just two seasons as their offensive coordinator. The Commanders have

213
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:05,640
Speaker 2: the second overall pick in the draft, and there are

214
00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:09,199
Speaker 2: so many top quarterbacks this season to get your franchise guy.

215
00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:11,400
Speaker 2: And remember Johnson played at North Carolina and one of

216
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:15,120
Speaker 2: the top quarterbacks is Drake May. Drake May is like

217
00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:19,000
Speaker 2: a high number two kind of favorite in the draft

218
00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:20,760
Speaker 2: who was at North Carolina.

219
00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:24,120
Speaker 4: So, yeah, the stars feel like they're aligning in that way.

220
00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:26,720
Speaker 3: You know, I agree with you. I also, I know

221
00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:28,520
Speaker 3: it's not been it has not been talked about, but

222
00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:31,280
Speaker 3: I feel like Mike Rabel would also be great with

223
00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:33,800
Speaker 3: the Commanders. He would be but first, and there is

224
00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:36,440
Speaker 3: a connection with him and Adam Peters.

225
00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:38,360
Speaker 4: His name hasn't really been has.

226
00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:40,440
Speaker 2: I feel like he might be holding out for an

227
00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:43,760
Speaker 2: unexpected coaching opening. I don't know what it is, but

228
00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:47,360
Speaker 2: he is such a great coach, right, he might be

229
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:50,760
Speaker 2: waiting being patient see kind of what opens up after

230
00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:51,280
Speaker 2: the season.

231
00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:54,600
Speaker 3: Because yeah, the Commanders, like you just said, like Washington

232
00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:55,960
Speaker 3: is ready for a change.

233
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:59,319
Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying, need they and they desperately needed.

234
00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:02,600
Speaker 3: The fans are please we hated. Our old owner Josh

235
00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:04,360
Speaker 3: Harris was like, what do you want. I'm gonna throw

236
00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:08,800
Speaker 3: money at it. Let's go like they're welcoming, arms wide

237
00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:12,440
Speaker 3: open lips. Please come and change our culture from top

238
00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:14,640
Speaker 3: to bottom. We are ready and I like to me,

239
00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:16,880
Speaker 3: Mike Vrabel would fit in so well with that. But

240
00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:20,400
Speaker 3: you're right, that hasn't been the conversation. But now now you've.

241
00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:21,840
Speaker 4: Got sneaky, You're sneaky.

242
00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:24,360
Speaker 2: Don't don't count him out yet, but I think he's

243
00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:26,840
Speaker 2: gonna be a late if something pops up.

244
00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:27,000
Speaker 9: Heard.

245
00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:30,439
Speaker 2: Okay, first, let's move on to Dan Quinn, current Cowboys

246
00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:35,800
Speaker 2: defensive coordinator. Unfortunately for Quinn, that embarrassing loss didn't help

247
00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:37,920
Speaker 2: his case. As they say in the entertainment world, you're

248
00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:39,800
Speaker 2: only as good as your last performance, and if you're

249
00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:43,560
Speaker 2: going off his last game, yeah, one of their worst.

250
00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:47,640
Speaker 2: All right, but there's still a chance he might stay

251
00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:50,400
Speaker 2: in Dallas. We heard Michael Parsons talking about how much

252
00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:52,560
Speaker 2: dan Quinn means to him. Even joked if he leaves,

253
00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:53,960
Speaker 2: maybe he'll take him with.

254
00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:55,640
Speaker 4: He'll take me with him.

255
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:57,720
Speaker 2: But if he does leave, I think a good fit

256
00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:00,760
Speaker 2: could be the Seahawks. He used to be their defensive

257
00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:03,320
Speaker 2: coordinator in Seattle during that lesion of Boom. He has

258
00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:07,319
Speaker 2: history there. They'll need to pick up another quarterback, especially

259
00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:10,680
Speaker 2: if it's a defensive head coach coming in. You need

260
00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:15,160
Speaker 2: a great quarterback. So I yeah, I could see that working.

261
00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:18,080
Speaker 3: I can also see that working. I think there's pieces

262
00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:21,360
Speaker 3: that the Seahawks have offensively that he also likes, like

263
00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:25,400
Speaker 3: Jackson Smith and Jigba, like new talent out there that

264
00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:28,440
Speaker 3: I feel like he thinks I can untap this potential

265
00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:30,560
Speaker 3: right here. You know I wrote that I'm with you

266
00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:31,920
Speaker 3: on that one. Totally agree on that one.

267
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:36,079
Speaker 4: Okay, yeah, one more Jim Harbaugh.

268
00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:37,560
Speaker 3: Oh, I wonder where he's getting.

269
00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:41,360
Speaker 2: I've been dead set on the Chargers being the best

270
00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:43,120
Speaker 2: fit for Jai Weeks.

271
00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:43,920
Speaker 3: You have been.

272
00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:46,199
Speaker 4: Months, months, months.

273
00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:50,320
Speaker 2: They have their franchise quarterback, They have a lot of

274
00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:54,920
Speaker 2: great pieces in place. They need a culture that Harbob brings.

275
00:12:56,559 --> 00:12:58,920
Speaker 2: He could get a say in their GM higher. It's

276
00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:02,800
Speaker 2: a beautiful place to live. Can you imagine Harbor on Hollywood?

277
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:06,319
Speaker 2: He's so Hollywood with his personality. He would thrive they

278
00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:09,040
Speaker 2: need to just like pull up the Brinks truck give

279
00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:10,480
Speaker 2: him whatever he wants, it.

280
00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:13,280
Speaker 3: Seems, and that's what the Chargers are. The latest stories

281
00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:16,120
Speaker 3: are that they are giving him whatever he wants, which

282
00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:19,760
Speaker 3: he needs because again there's not flexibility, so you have

283
00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:22,120
Speaker 3: to give him everything else, you hope, so right, because

284
00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:23,800
Speaker 3: he knows, all right, I'm gonna come in here and

285
00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:25,839
Speaker 3: I'm gonna like not be able to do a lot

286
00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:29,000
Speaker 3: of things because of all these contracts, specifically with the defense,

287
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:30,720
Speaker 3: which I which I think is where you need to

288
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:32,920
Speaker 3: kind of fix the little holes here and there.

289
00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:34,000
Speaker 4: I have draft picks.

290
00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:37,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, but you know the flexibilities honestly, So if they're

291
00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:40,400
Speaker 3: giving him and everything else, yeah, I have jumped on

292
00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:44,560
Speaker 3: your vanwagon that I had not been on for months

293
00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:47,760
Speaker 3: and weeks. I'm on it, Alex, Yes, Harbor to the Chargers.

294
00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:50,160
Speaker 4: Welcome to the dark side, baby. Yeah, I know.

295
00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:51,640
Speaker 3: It took me a lot. It took me a minute together.

296
00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:52,959
Speaker 4: Fan, that's okay.

297
00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:56,600
Speaker 2: You're you're emotional about this. Instead of thinking with your brain,

298
00:13:56,679 --> 00:13:57,800
Speaker 2: you're thinking with your heart, and.

299
00:13:57,720 --> 00:14:00,160
Speaker 3: That's probably and it's not. I was into it, like,

300
00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:01,920
Speaker 3: of course, I wont Harby. I just was like, how

301
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:03,880
Speaker 3: who why would you want to go to the Chargers

302
00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:07,280
Speaker 3: Like it seems like a what because of the ownership,

303
00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:10,319
Speaker 3: which is what I've been saying from the beginning. That's

304
00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:10,760
Speaker 3: what I'm saying.

305
00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:13,080
Speaker 2: Becaus long as he has his freedom a say in

306
00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:14,920
Speaker 2: the GM, I feel like it could be.

307
00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:16,079
Speaker 4: A YEP fit.

308
00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:17,320
Speaker 3: And it seems like that's what's happening.

309
00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:19,160
Speaker 4: It is it's up. So yeah, let's hope.

310
00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:20,960
Speaker 2: So we're gonna take a quick break here, but when

311

334
00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:33,520
Speaker 2: We'll keep you updated on all of that, but we've

335
00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:37,800
Speaker 2: got another great game tonight in San Francisco. So let's

336
00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:41,160
Speaker 2: bring in our first guest, a friend of the show founder,

337
00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:44,320
Speaker 2: a fangirl Sports network and forty nine Ers beat reporter,

338
00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:47,600
Speaker 2: joining us live from game day. Tracy Sandler, thank you

339
00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:48,920
Speaker 2: so much for hopping on the show.

340
00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:51,920
Speaker 10: Absolutely thanks for having me. Happy game Day.

341
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:53,240
Speaker 4: Happy game Day.

342
00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:57,840
Speaker 2: Now, after almost like two weeks of rest and prep

343
00:15:57,880 --> 00:16:00,360
Speaker 2: for most of the forty nine ers starters, take us

344
00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:01,960
Speaker 2: into that locker room.

345
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:03,840
Speaker 4: What has a vibe been like this week?

346
00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:07,320
Speaker 10: Definitely a group of guys who is ready to get

347
00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:09,760
Speaker 10: on the field. They were really smart with these two weeks.

348
00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:12,480
Speaker 10: So the four nanters did a great job managing the

349
00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:14,800
Speaker 10: quote unquote bye week because it wasn't like a bye

350
00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:17,520
Speaker 10: week you have during a regular season. They had practiced

351
00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:20,160
Speaker 10: that first week, three days or two days of practice,

352
00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:22,080
Speaker 10: the day of strength, they had the weekend off, and

353
00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:24,360
Speaker 10: then back to practice this week. But I think everyone

354
00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:27,440
Speaker 10: is ready to go, excited to get on the football field.

355
00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:29,640
Speaker 10: There's a little bit of that training Camp five where

356
00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:31,960
Speaker 10: they're sick of going against each other and ready to

357
00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:32,840
Speaker 10: go against another team.

358
00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:34,080
Speaker 4: Love I bet.

359
00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:37,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, So, Tracy, thanks for joining us. Is there any

360
00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:41,920
Speaker 3: talk about the shocking upsets that happened last week, you know,

361
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:45,800
Speaker 3: Packers beating the Cowboys, Buccaneers beating the Eagles. Is that

362
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:48,360
Speaker 3: something that has been a talk of conversation.

363
00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:51,920
Speaker 10: Well, the Packers game really more than the other obviously

364
00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:55,120
Speaker 10: for obviouslyasons. They were asked about the Eagles, and they

365
00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:57,800
Speaker 10: talked about a little, but really, Kyle Shanahan said, and

366
00:16:57,880 --> 00:17:00,320
Speaker 10: Chris First said it as well, once you started looking

367
00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:02,800
Speaker 10: at the tape, it wasn't as shocking that the Packers

368
00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:05,119
Speaker 10: beat the Cowboys. And you know, they feel they're a

369
00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:07,480
Speaker 10: really good football team, a team that runs the ball well,

370
00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:09,560
Speaker 10: a team with a quarterback that is playing at a

371
00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:11,879
Speaker 10: very high level. He's not turning the ball over, at

372
00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:14,399
Speaker 10: least not in the air, so they said once they

373
00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:16,679
Speaker 10: got to the tape, and Kyle said that he started

374
00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:20,520
Speaker 10: preparing for the Packers about halfway through that Cowboys Packers game.

375
00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:22,440
Speaker 10: But he said at that point it really wasn't surprising.

376
00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:26,040
Speaker 4: I love that he's like, yeah, this is happening, all right.

377
00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:28,440
Speaker 2: Well, Brock, party said, he's coming into this playoff run

378
00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:30,760
Speaker 2: kind of with a different mindset than last year. Right,

379
00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:34,240
Speaker 2: how do you expect him to perform, especially having a

380
00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:36,120
Speaker 2: couple weeks off to prepare.

381
00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:39,280
Speaker 10: I think he'll perform how Brock always performed. You know,

382
00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:41,919
Speaker 10: that Christmas side game was such a good game for

383
00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:44,760
Speaker 10: him in retrospect. They still ended up with the number

384
00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:47,120
Speaker 10: one seed. Obviously he did not play his best football,

385
00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:50,360
Speaker 10: but he admitted that going to that game, he listened

386
00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:52,000
Speaker 10: to a little bit of the noise and a little

387
00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:55,000
Speaker 10: bit of the hype and he maybe wasn't as focused

388
00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:57,200
Speaker 10: on the game as he normally is. And I don't

389
00:17:57,200 --> 00:17:59,720
Speaker 10: think that's the case this time. He also has last

390
00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:02,200
Speaker 10: year's playoff runt under his belt, and we saw him

391
00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:04,359
Speaker 10: as a wild card round last year with a little

392
00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:06,920
Speaker 10: adversity against the Seahawks. Obviously, the four Niners came out

393
00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:08,440
Speaker 10: on top and he ends up playing to the game.

394
00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:10,520
Speaker 10: But I think for him the mindset is just do

395
00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:13,040
Speaker 10: what I normally do, be brock perty, which is what

396
00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:15,640
Speaker 10: his teammates say about him, what his coaches say about him.

397
00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:18,520
Speaker 10: He really is the same guy week after week. So

398
00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:21,760
Speaker 10: I think for him it's more of fine tuning and

399
00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:23,679
Speaker 10: doing what he does and not so much having to

400
00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:26,359
Speaker 10: figure out what his playoff football like. Are their distractions,

401
00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:28,560
Speaker 10: Oh my gosh, now we're one and done. It's not

402
00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:30,120
Speaker 10: that kind of thing. And so I think he's able

403
00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:31,359
Speaker 10: to go in just kind of the way he's been

404
00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:32,360
Speaker 10: going in all season long.

405
00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:37,200
Speaker 3: What about Christian McCaffrey, Tracy, how's that calf? Yes, that's good,

406
00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:37,880
Speaker 3: that's good.

407
00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:41,560
Speaker 10: Calf is good, half is good. Christian McCaffrey is ready.

408
00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:42,560
Speaker 9: No pun intend I met.

409
00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:45,320
Speaker 10: McCaffrey was ready to go. I mean they had even

410
00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:47,879
Speaker 10: said that if that final game against the season, if

411
00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:51,399
Speaker 10: they had been in a different position, they probably would

412
00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:53,359
Speaker 10: have been able to play him. But having that rest

413
00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:55,639
Speaker 10: for him was amazing and honestly for him, having that

414
00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:57,760
Speaker 10: rest just for the amount that he plays in the

415
00:18:57,800 --> 00:18:59,040
Speaker 10: amount that he gets beat up.

416
00:18:59,359 --> 00:18:59,960
Speaker 9: It's incredible.

417
00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:01,720
Speaker 11: But the cap is good on McCaffrey.

418
00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:02,880
Speaker 12: So nothing to worry about there.

419
00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:04,240
Speaker 4: Oh good now, Teresa.

420
00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:06,240
Speaker 2: It feels like this forty nine Ers team has had

421
00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:09,520
Speaker 2: kind of a chip on their shoulder since last season

422
00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:12,040
Speaker 2: and the way that it ended against the Eagles. There's

423
00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:14,760
Speaker 2: obviously a lot of talk, Hey, if Rockberty was healthy,

424
00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:16,600
Speaker 2: we could have gotten there, We've could have gotten all

425
00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:20,440
Speaker 2: the way. How will that help them and fuel them tonight?

426
00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:23,960
Speaker 10: Well, I think they're just so aware that anything can

427
00:19:24,040 --> 00:19:26,520
Speaker 10: happen in a football game and you can't overlook anyone.

428
00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:28,119
Speaker 10: And not that that was the case of the Eagles

429
00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:31,040
Speaker 10: at all, but I think all of those playoff experiences

430
00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:33,800
Speaker 10: help you. A lot of these guys have gotten so

431
00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:37,080
Speaker 10: close and they're ready to get to the super Bowl,

432
00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:38,920
Speaker 10: to win the super Bowl. But you think about how

433
00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:42,040
Speaker 10: really their last couple of seasons have ended by almost

434
00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:44,439
Speaker 10: being there and not making it. But they are so

435
00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:47,320
Speaker 10: focused and if they've been the spaces training camp, super

436
00:19:47,359 --> 00:19:49,879
Speaker 10: Bowl or bus, they've never flat out said that, but

437
00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:52,280
Speaker 10: they have said, we have our goal in that final

438
00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:54,960
Speaker 10: game and we want to get there. We want to

439
00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:57,399
Speaker 10: win that final game. We've gotten so close, and so

440
00:19:57,440 --> 00:19:59,320
Speaker 10: we think that chip on their shoulder has really it's

441
00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:01,639
Speaker 10: helped them all season long. I mean, I think it

442
00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:04,399
Speaker 10: broke the Eagles, so in their minds, they're hoping it

443
00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:05,240
Speaker 10: breaks the Packers too.

444
00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:08,080
Speaker 3: So how do they plan on breaking the Packers? What

445
00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:10,080
Speaker 3: is the goal or goals that they have tonight?

446
00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:13,760
Speaker 10: They're going to have to stop the run because obviously

447
00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:16,640
Speaker 10: Aaron Jones has been really good and stopping the run

448
00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:18,840
Speaker 10: as something that they've struggled with a bit in the

449
00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:19,679
Speaker 10: last few weeks.

450
00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:20,440
Speaker 9: Now they will have.

451
00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:23,720
Speaker 10: Eric Armstead back, which is huge for that San Francisco

452
00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:26,760
Speaker 10: defensive line and will be tremendous in stopping the run game.

453
00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:28,320
Speaker 10: But they're going to have to do that and they're

454
00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:30,919
Speaker 10: going to have to bring pressure to Jordan Love. I

455
00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:33,480
Speaker 10: believe in his last I think it's nine games, he

456
00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:37,760
Speaker 10: has twenty one touchdowns to one interception. Those are good

457
00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:40,080
Speaker 10: numbers for a quarterback. I think they want to change

458
00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:42,159
Speaker 10: that because this will come down to who can take

459
00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:43,879
Speaker 10: care of the football. But I really think for both

460
00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:46,720
Speaker 10: teams it's going to be stopping the run and establishing

461
00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:48,560
Speaker 10: the run, and that's going to be the key for

462
00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:50,760
Speaker 10: both of these teams. It looks like it will rain

463
00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:54,320
Speaker 10: throughout the game, so that always adds an extra element

464
00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:55,639
Speaker 10: of fun if we want.

465
00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:56,280
Speaker 12: To put it that way.

466
00:20:56,400 --> 00:20:58,480
Speaker 9: But I think the run game.

467
00:20:58,320 --> 00:20:59,639
Speaker 10: On both sides of the ball is going to be

468
00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:00,359
Speaker 10: the key to victory.

469
00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:03,959
Speaker 2: Now, this forty nine ers team has a lot of experience, right,

470
00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:06,600
Speaker 2: They've been here before and they're going up, as you mentioned,

471
00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:09,959
Speaker 2: against a young Jordan Love who has been on fire

472
00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:13,159
Speaker 2: the second half of the season. So how do the

473
00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:16,119
Speaker 2: forty nine ers make sure that they use that experience

474
00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:17,240
Speaker 2: to their advantage.

475
00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:21,000
Speaker 10: Well, although he has not thrown very many interceptions, he

476
00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:24,199
Speaker 10: has fumbled the ball three times when he's running, and

477
00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:26,239
Speaker 10: so I think that becomes a big thing, you know,

478
00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:29,600
Speaker 10: go go to his weaknesses, pressure him a little bit,

479
00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:32,640
Speaker 10: maybe take him off his game. And I think that's

480
00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:34,359
Speaker 10: what they're going to have to do. And there's really

481
00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:37,920
Speaker 10: no reason that this defensive line combined with Fred Warner

482
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:40,640
Speaker 10: and Drake Greenlaw, if Drake green Law is able to play,

483
00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:43,440
Speaker 10: he was questionable the other day that they shouldn't be

484
00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:45,600
Speaker 10: able to bring him, bring pressure and throw him off

485
00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:47,680
Speaker 10: his game. And then that forty nine or secondary who

486
00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:50,840
Speaker 10: really has been great all season long. Is going to

487
00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:53,920
Speaker 10: have to continue and not let him get those deep passes.

488
00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:56,240
Speaker 10: You know, we saw in that Cowboys game that first drive,

489
00:21:56,280 --> 00:21:57,840
Speaker 10: it's like an eight minute drive.

490
00:21:58,080 --> 00:21:59,640
Speaker 12: They'd go ahead, and it was clear in.

491
00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:01,240
Speaker 10: My mind a second at the end of that drive,

492
00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:03,120
Speaker 10: I was like, the Packers are going to win this game.

493
00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:07,120
Speaker 10: They don't want to do that again. And for the Packers' defense,

494
00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:10,040
Speaker 10: their best defense is the offense, and so the fort

495
00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:12,160
Speaker 10: Niners are going to want to get that offense off

496
00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:14,520
Speaker 10: the field quickly because they don't want to give that

497
00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:16,960
Speaker 10: Packers defense along a lot of rest because although they

498
00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:19,480
Speaker 10: played great last week and taking nothing away from them,

499
00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:22,800
Speaker 10: they are overmatched by the fort Niners offensive weapons.

500
00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:24,800
Speaker 4: Are you allowed to give game predictions?

501
00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:25,679
Speaker 13: I am.

502
00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:28,439
Speaker 4: What is your game direction?

503
00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:31,880
Speaker 10: So I've been seeing this one all week, so I'm

504
00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:33,680
Speaker 10: just going to stick with it. Let's go forty nine

505
00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:35,680
Speaker 10: Ers thirty one, Packers seventeen.

506
00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:40,200
Speaker 2: Oh all right, all right, Tracy, thank you so much

507

Speaker 10: Thank you so much. Guys, have a great day you too.

510
00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:48,879

Speaker 7: Cook in that game. He's active for Baltimore.

515
00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:04,000
Speaker 13: Will not see Mark Andrews the tight end or cornerback

516
00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:07,920
Speaker 13: Marlon Humphrey tomorrow. We won't see Chiefs wide receiver Gadarius Tony.

517
00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:10,240
Speaker 13: He's ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bills, and

518
00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:12,440
Speaker 13: the Bills apparently still need shovelers to help with snow

519
00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:16,359
Speaker 13: removal for their social media. Head coaching carousel continues to

520

Speaker 13: Right now, are nine minutes forty five seconds left in

544
00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:31,680
Speaker 13: the third quarter, and several Detroit Pistons beat writers for

545
00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:34,119
Speaker 13: tweeting out that there was a strong smell of weed

546
00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:34,840
Speaker 13: in the building.

547
00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:36,040
Speaker 7: So we'll see if.

548
00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:38,440
Speaker 13: That helps the Pistons win their fifth game of the year.

549
00:24:38,840 --> 00:24:43,080
Speaker 13: Right now, they trailed the Bucks seventy five to seventy one.

554
00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:56,280
Speaker 3: ye having games.

555
00:24:57,119 --> 00:25:02,639

557
00:25:07,080 --> 00:25:10,520
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, no, no, I'm just saying, I think we

558
00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:13,080
Speaker 3: have found the solution. If they win, if they beat

559
00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:13,840
Speaker 3: the Bucks.

560
00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:17,280
Speaker 4: I'm just saying, I'm gonna let you guys take this one. Martin,

561
00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:18,439
Speaker 4: Thank you for that.

562
00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:21,840
Speaker 2: Thanks Martin, you're listening to Fox Sports Saturday and Alex

563
00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:24,280
Speaker 2: Career here with Monsey Belogas we were broadcasting live Foe

564
00:25:24,320 --> 00:25:26,680
Speaker 2: Tyreck dot Com Studios in Los Angeles.

565
00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:30,159
Speaker 4: Thank you for spending your Saturday afternoon with Moncey and me.

566
00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:33,840
Speaker 2: But uh, Martin just mentioned this, But now we need

567
00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:39,000
Speaker 2: to address the biggest flop, upset, embarrassing loss of the

568
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:44,440
Speaker 2: playoffs so far because the Cowboys failed again. They fell

569
00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:48,040
Speaker 2: flat on their face this postseason.

570
00:25:48,160 --> 00:25:51,040
Speaker 4: I got fooled. I thought this was their year to

571
00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:53,240
Speaker 4: get over that playoff hump.

572
00:25:53,320 --> 00:25:57,000
Speaker 2: They had everything going for that, Moncey and they were

573
00:25:57,240 --> 00:26:00,600
Speaker 2: undefeated at home all season. I mean they had won

574
00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:04,879
Speaker 2: sixteen straight home games dating back to last season. They

575
00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:07,760
Speaker 2: got the second seed in the NFC to play at home,

576
00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:11,720
Speaker 2: which is what they needed because of that sixteen game

577
00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:15,879
Speaker 2: home win streak. They were facing a rookie quarterback and

578
00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:16,800
Speaker 2: then they got whooped.

579
00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:20,679
Speaker 4: It wasn't even close. That game was over before halftime.

580
00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:24,840
Speaker 2: We just heard Tracy Sandler say that Shanahan was preparing

581
00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:31,080
Speaker 2: for the Packers halfway through that Cowboys game. So the

582
00:26:31,119 --> 00:26:34,720
Speaker 2: stat remains, they only have four playoff game wins since

583
00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:39,359
Speaker 2: nineteen ninety seven. That's really bad for quote America's team.

584
00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:40,800
Speaker 2: That's unacceptable.

585
00:26:41,480 --> 00:26:44,600
Speaker 4: And what did Jerry Jones decide to do after that,

586
00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:46,639
Speaker 4: Absolutely nothing.

587
00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:51,320
Speaker 2: The Cowboys are keeping Mike McCarthy as their head coach,

588
00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:54,760
Speaker 2: and here's what he had to say in his first

589
00:26:54,800 --> 00:26:58,000
Speaker 2: presser kind of after all that news came out.

590
00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:01,639
Speaker 14: My message would be this, we have established a you know,

591
00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:04,760
Speaker 14: a championship program. It's just not the World championship.

592
00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:05,040
Speaker 7: Yet.

593
00:27:05,280 --> 00:27:07,480
Speaker 14: We know how to win, we know how to train

594
00:27:07,560 --> 00:27:10,480
Speaker 14: to win. We have the right people, but we have

595
00:27:10,560 --> 00:27:14,240
Speaker 14: not a crossed the threshold winning playoff games. And it's

596
00:27:14,480 --> 00:27:17,800
Speaker 14: extremely disappointed to be sitting here talking about it. I

597
00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:21,800
Speaker 14: know how to win and we will get over that threshold.

598
00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:25,520
Speaker 14: I have total confidence and that's why I'm standing here today.

599
00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:27,399
Speaker 4: This is all kinds of weird.

600
00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:33,399
Speaker 2: How can you be a championship program without a championship like,

601
00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:37,080
Speaker 2: you've only won four playoff games in twenty seven years.

602
00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:41,000
Speaker 2: You are not a championship program. You are not a

603
00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:42,040
Speaker 2: championship program.

604
00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:49,439
Speaker 3: It's a very weird situation. Obviously, Jerry Jones believes in

605
00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:52,600
Speaker 3: McCarthy and he still believes in Dak and you know what,

606
00:27:52,840 --> 00:27:55,720
Speaker 3: here's the thing. One of them is to blame. Unfortunately,

607
00:27:55,760 --> 00:27:58,040
Speaker 3: that's how it works, right, It's either the quarterback or

608
00:27:58,119 --> 00:28:02,160
Speaker 3: the coach, even though the defense couldn't get a stop

609
00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:02,879
Speaker 3: in the first half of that.

610
00:28:03,080 --> 00:28:06,719
Speaker 2: So this is where it's like he already said McCarthy Stang,

611
00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:09,760
Speaker 2: McCarthy said Dax Stang, And this is where someone has

612
00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:10,800
Speaker 2: to become a scapegoat.

613
00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:13,200
Speaker 4: It almost feels like it might be Quinn.

614
00:28:13,359 --> 00:28:14,280
Speaker 3: But he's gonna be fine.

615
00:28:14,359 --> 00:28:17,400
Speaker 2: He's gonna be I mean, he's interviewing for head coaching jobs.

616
00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:17,879
Speaker 4: So okay.

617
00:28:18,320 --> 00:28:21,480
Speaker 2: So Mike McCarthy has one year left on his contract, right,

618
00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:23,959
Speaker 2: he does have a super Bowl under his spell, so

619
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:27,520
Speaker 2: he can claim he has a championship mindset because he

620
00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:30,840
Speaker 2: has actually won one. That's more than the Cowboys have

621
00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:35,320
Speaker 2: in that timeframe. And when you compare Mike McCarthy to

622
00:28:35,800 --> 00:28:38,360
Speaker 2: other coaches who have been in the league kind of

623
00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:44,120
Speaker 2: his like same time frame with similar stats wins, Mike Tomlin,

624
00:28:44,400 --> 00:28:49,120
Speaker 2: Sean Payton, and Mike McCarthy almost have like identical stats.

625
00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:50,480
Speaker 4: Their numbers are very close.

626
00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:55,920
Speaker 2: Seventeen season sixteen for Sean Payton Mike McCarthy a six

627
00:28:55,960 --> 00:28:59,000
Speaker 2: point twenty win percentage one. They all have one Super

628
00:28:59,040 --> 00:29:02,240
Speaker 2: Bowl win. They're all kind of neck and neck sure

629
00:29:03,400 --> 00:29:05,720
Speaker 2: that in that category. So who would the Cowboys be

630
00:29:05,760 --> 00:29:08,320
Speaker 2: able to get off the market because remember they have

631
00:29:08,520 --> 00:29:11,320
Speaker 2: a very involved owner in Jerry Jones, who.

632
00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:13,000
Speaker 4: Is also the GM.

633
00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:18,480
Speaker 2: Right, he also holds his own personal press conferences.

634
00:29:18,440 --> 00:29:22,000
Speaker 4: Radio show hits like he is the team.

635
00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:28,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, so he also needs someone that is going to

636
00:29:28,320 --> 00:29:31,400
Speaker 2: allow that. In the top candidates, I do not see

637
00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:33,160
Speaker 2: wanting to work with an owner who is also the

638
00:29:33,200 --> 00:29:35,680
Speaker 2: GM calling all the shots, not Harbaugh and not Bill.

639
00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:39,320
Speaker 2: Takes a special person to be able to work with

640
00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:44,120
Speaker 2: Jerry Jones. So he's given McCarthy one more year to

641
00:29:44,160 --> 00:29:47,720
Speaker 2: figure it out. His contracts done after next season, so

642
00:29:47,840 --> 00:29:50,160
Speaker 2: I mean, this is this is the season that he

643
00:29:50,240 --> 00:29:52,360
Speaker 2: is playing for his job.

644
00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:54,040
Speaker 3: I mean, isn't that what it's been like the last

645
00:29:54,080 --> 00:29:56,120
Speaker 3: couple of years. I'm with you. I hear what you're saying,

646
00:29:56,120 --> 00:29:58,560
Speaker 3: and I agree that's it's hard to want to coach

647
00:29:58,560 --> 00:30:00,840
Speaker 3: a team under Jerry Jones, for sure, just because of

648
00:30:01,080 --> 00:30:03,720
Speaker 3: how involved he is day in and day out.

649
00:30:04,160 --> 00:30:05,840
Speaker 4: But obviously, like there's.

650
00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:08,080
Speaker 3: Talent on the Cowboys roster.

651
00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:12,040
Speaker 2: They were an incredible Dak was in the MVP conversation

652
00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:13,560
Speaker 2: a good chunk of the season.

653
00:30:13,600 --> 00:30:16,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, like, but that's the hard part. It's not how

654
00:30:16,840 --> 00:30:17,880
Speaker 4: you start, it's how you finish.

655
00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:20,440
Speaker 2: You can be a great regular season team, but you

656
00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:23,360
Speaker 2: only have four playoff wins in the last twenty seven years.

657
00:30:23,400 --> 00:30:26,000
Speaker 4: That is unacceptable. It is unacceptable.

658
00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:28,000
Speaker 3: And did you read or hear about the story that

659
00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:30,120
Speaker 3: it's like, oh, he doesn't care about winning because he

660
00:30:30,160 --> 00:30:32,360
Speaker 3: knows money is coming in because it's America's team and

661
00:30:32,400 --> 00:30:33,920
Speaker 3: people still come. And it's like, I don't believe that.

662
00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:36,720
Speaker 3: I think he's he wants to win, and obvious he

663
00:30:37,240 --> 00:30:39,400
Speaker 3: of course he does. It's not just about money. He

664
00:30:39,520 --> 00:30:43,000
Speaker 3: must still believe that what is in front of him

665
00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:46,520
Speaker 3: can pull it off, because obviously Dak Dak is about

666
00:30:46,520 --> 00:30:47,240
Speaker 3: to get an extension.

667
00:30:47,360 --> 00:30:49,800
Speaker 4: Well, that's this is the question. What do you do

668
00:30:49,880 --> 00:30:50,240
Speaker 4: with Dak?

669
00:30:50,280 --> 00:30:53,800
Speaker 2: He has one more year on his contract, so like

670
00:30:53,840 --> 00:30:55,920
Speaker 2: he'll be up for that extension at any point. Yeah,

671
00:30:56,120 --> 00:30:58,080
Speaker 2: next season if they do that. He's coming off his

672
00:30:58,240 --> 00:31:02,040
Speaker 2: best statistical season. But he hasn't been able to show

673
00:31:02,120 --> 00:31:04,920
Speaker 2: up in the postseason. He's two and five yea in

674
00:31:04,960 --> 00:31:08,520
Speaker 2: the postseasons. Two of those four wins in the last

675
00:31:08,560 --> 00:31:10,480
Speaker 2: twenty seven years have come from Dak.

676
00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:12,440
Speaker 4: So how many more chances you give him? He's thirty

677
00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:12,920
Speaker 4: years old.

678
00:31:13,360 --> 00:31:16,040
Speaker 2: He hasn't performed, as we just said, in the postseason,

679
00:31:16,960 --> 00:31:18,920
Speaker 2: because it's not how you start, it's how you finish.

680
00:31:19,080 --> 00:31:21,720
Speaker 2: And at what point do you say this isn't working

681
00:31:21,720 --> 00:31:22,080
Speaker 2: for us?

682
00:31:22,120 --> 00:31:22,280
Speaker 15: Is it?

683
00:31:22,360 --> 00:31:24,520
Speaker 4: Next season? See how far we can go, see if

684
00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:25,600
Speaker 4: anything changing.

685
00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:28,240
Speaker 3: If he didn't change this year, you know, Jerry, if

686
00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:30,200
Speaker 3: you didn't make the changes this year, I don't know

687
00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:33,040
Speaker 3: if he's going to change it next year. You gotta say, like,

688
00:31:33,040 --> 00:31:37,040
Speaker 3: it's it's shocking that no changes were made, but he

689
00:31:37,080 --> 00:31:38,240
Speaker 3: obviously believes in something.

690
00:31:40,840 --> 00:31:43,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean it's so hard.

691
00:31:43,320 --> 00:31:45,480
Speaker 2: I was talking with Jane Slater, who is like NFL

692
00:31:45,520 --> 00:31:48,480
Speaker 2: Networks Cowboys Insider, which we had on this we had

693
00:31:48,520 --> 00:31:50,960
Speaker 2: on the show last weekend heading into this, who was

694
00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:53,960
Speaker 2: also extremely confident, Like I think everyone was like, oh, yeah,

695
00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:54,400
Speaker 2: this is.

696
00:31:54,360 --> 00:31:55,120
Speaker 4: The Cowboys game.

697
00:31:55,200 --> 00:31:58,760
Speaker 2: This is great, easy rookie rookie, like not rookie, but

698
00:31:58,840 --> 00:32:02,680
Speaker 2: like first year star. Yeah, quarterback, his first experience in

699
00:32:02,720 --> 00:32:07,120
Speaker 2: the playoffs, and they just like, it's it's really hard

700
00:32:07,160 --> 00:32:09,000
Speaker 2: to wrap your head around. How can someone be that

701
00:32:09,040 --> 00:32:13,160
Speaker 2: great during the regular season and then just completely crumble.

702
00:32:13,800 --> 00:32:15,240
Speaker 4: She also in the posts.

703
00:32:14,920 --> 00:32:18,840
Speaker 3: Tweeted about how much the team or the players really

704
00:32:19,040 --> 00:32:19,800
Speaker 3: like McCarthy.

705
00:32:20,520 --> 00:32:23,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, and that was a doctor Dak went to bat

706
00:32:23,320 --> 00:32:26,560
Speaker 2: for McCarthy.

707
00:32:25,280 --> 00:32:26,320
Speaker 4: Had a weird situation.

708
00:32:26,440 --> 00:32:29,360
Speaker 2: The thing with Jerry Jones, he doesn't make like on

709
00:32:29,400 --> 00:32:33,440
Speaker 2: the spot irrational decisions. He holds on to people and

710
00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:38,760
Speaker 2: coaches and members within the organization for a long time.

711
00:32:39,240 --> 00:32:40,680
Speaker 4: I mean, he's a smart businessman.

712
00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:46,240
Speaker 2: It feels like twenty twenty four is a final straw

713
00:32:46,360 --> 00:32:48,760
Speaker 2: for Dak and McCarthy. I mean, Dak might get the extension.

714
00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:51,200
Speaker 2: It feels like, you know, obviously Jerry Jones is the

715
00:32:51,200 --> 00:32:53,880
Speaker 2: GM he found him out of the first round, so

716
00:32:53,920 --> 00:32:56,560
Speaker 2: it's kind of like, this is my guy. Yeah, it

717
00:32:56,640 --> 00:33:00,440
Speaker 2: kind of has that feeling alty to it. Yeah, yeah,

718
00:33:00,480 --> 00:33:03,600
Speaker 2: a lot of loyalty. Did you see that Zeke was

719
00:33:03,640 --> 00:33:07,280
Speaker 2: at the game in Dax's box? No, yeah, he was there.

720
00:33:07,160 --> 00:33:08,640
Speaker 4: Supporting his best friend Dak.

721
00:33:08,880 --> 00:33:13,640
Speaker 2: So that was a little like bittersweet. Yeah, right, do

722
00:33:13,640 --> 00:33:14,720
Speaker 2: do go support.

723
00:33:14,400 --> 00:33:17,200
Speaker 4: Your support your best friends. Yeah.

724
00:33:17,280 --> 00:33:19,160
Speaker 2: So they not only need to win a playoff game,

725
00:33:19,280 --> 00:33:23,120
Speaker 2: but if they don't get to the NFC Championship or

726
00:33:23,600 --> 00:33:26,600
Speaker 2: Super Bowl, I I don't see how you can bring

727
00:33:27,160 --> 00:33:29,600
Speaker 2: McCarthy back. I mean, Dak, on the other hand, he

728
00:33:29,720 --> 00:33:33,600
Speaker 2: might get that extension before mid the before season starts

729
00:33:33,600 --> 00:33:34,040
Speaker 2: mid season.

730
00:33:34,120 --> 00:33:39,920
Speaker 4: But it's just it's weird tough. I feel so bad

731
00:33:40,640 --> 00:33:42,400
Speaker 4: for all my Cowboy fan friends.

732
00:33:42,480 --> 00:33:46,360
Speaker 2: I have so many co workers and co hosts who

733
00:33:46,360 --> 00:33:48,360
Speaker 2: were Cowboy fans, and I was just checking.

734
00:33:48,080 --> 00:33:50,640
Speaker 4: On him after, like, hey are we breathing?

735
00:33:51,080 --> 00:33:51,160
Speaker 12: Ho?

736
00:33:51,280 --> 00:33:54,040
Speaker 4: We doing be okay? We didn't break anything right.

737
00:33:54,440 --> 00:33:56,200
Speaker 3: Or break something. I mean, sometimes you just need to

738
00:33:56,240 --> 00:33:57,120
Speaker 3: let it out, break a plate.

739
00:33:57,360 --> 00:33:59,120
Speaker 2: I mean, I can't even tell you the amount of

740
00:33:59,160 --> 00:34:04,600
Speaker 2: like jersey posters, Cowboys flags I saw getting destroyed last weekend.

741
00:34:04,600 --> 00:34:07,040
Speaker 2: But don't worry Cowboys fans because you know what, once again,

742
00:34:07,360 --> 00:34:09,760
Speaker 2: you're gonna go for it next season and they're probably

743
00:34:09,800 --> 00:34:12,880
Speaker 2: gonna let you down. Fool me once, fool me twice.

744
00:34:12,960 --> 00:34:15,600
Speaker 2: I am not getting fooled again next season. Win a

745
00:34:15,600 --> 00:34:19,680
Speaker 2: playoff game, win do playoff games. People, win three, then

746
00:34:19,680 --> 00:34:22,799
Speaker 2: I'll be on your side again. Until then, I'm out.

747
00:34:23,040 --> 00:34:24,799
Speaker 2: I'm out on the Cowboys, all right, guys, when we

748
00:34:24,840 --> 00:34:27,240
Speaker 2: come back, it's the dues and the don'ts in sports.

00:34:47,400 --> 00:34:49,480

Speaker 2: We will keep you up to date on all that

759
00:34:52,320 --> 00:34:55,880
Speaker 2: as any scoring or any good plays go down and happen.

760
00:34:55,960 --> 00:34:58,080
Speaker 4: But guess what, guys, it is time for the dues

761
00:34:58,239 --> 00:35:01,120
Speaker 4: and the don'ts in sports.

762
00:35:01,200 --> 00:35:02,160
Speaker 7: Highlighting the dues.

763
00:35:02,280 --> 00:35:05,320
Speaker 1: Oh I love that putting a spotlight on the don't.

764
00:35:05,400 --> 00:35:07,080
Speaker 4: The subject brings me no joy.

765
00:35:07,160 --> 00:35:09,240
Speaker 16: Don't are you on crack?

766
00:35:09,480 --> 00:35:12,400
Speaker 1: It's time for the dues and the don'ts in sports?

767
00:35:13,200 --> 00:35:15,560
Speaker 4: All right, I'm gonna get started with a two parter.

768
00:35:15,840 --> 00:35:16,680
Speaker 3: Due all right?

769
00:35:17,120 --> 00:35:24,239
Speaker 4: Okay, uruparter? Do women supporting women? Yeah? Taylor Swift and

770
00:35:24,280 --> 00:35:25,640
Speaker 4: Britney Mahomes wore.

771
00:35:25,760 --> 00:35:29,920
Speaker 2: Kristen used Check's cussed up jackets to the Chiefs Dolphins

772
00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:33,360
Speaker 2: playoff game. She also made one for Taylor Lautner that

773
00:35:33,480 --> 00:35:36,600
Speaker 2: was delivered on the field at the Lions game.

774
00:35:36,840 --> 00:35:40,719
Speaker 4: I love this. She is so talented, I know. I

775
00:35:40,760 --> 00:35:41,440
Speaker 4: mean it was.

776
00:35:41,560 --> 00:35:46,040
Speaker 2: I mean that jacket did more viral than anything. The

777
00:35:46,080 --> 00:35:48,560
Speaker 2: broadcaster was like, wow, Nike, you will make anything for

778
00:35:48,640 --> 00:35:50,839
Speaker 2: Taylor Swift. It's like no, no, no, no, no. This

779
00:35:50,880 --> 00:35:54,480
Speaker 2: is where my two parter comes in. Yeah, do support

780
00:35:54,520 --> 00:35:55,040
Speaker 2: your wife?

781
00:35:55,160 --> 00:35:57,480

00:42:47,440 --> 00:42:48,399
Speaker 4: I did that for ten years.

940
00:42:48,440 --> 00:42:51,320
Speaker 2: I'm in studio now now I'm like, oh, yeah, okay,

941
00:42:51,440 --> 00:42:52,320
Speaker 2: I am ready.

942
00:42:52,400 --> 00:42:54,719
Speaker 4: I am ready to be back in the mix. So

943
00:42:55,160 --> 00:42:57,520
Speaker 4: here we go. Here we go. Let's have a great

944
00:42:57,600 --> 00:42:58,160
Speaker 4: hour or two.

945
00:42:58,200 --> 00:43:01,600
Speaker 2: We're going to keep you updated on this Texans Ravens

946
00:43:01,640 --> 00:43:04,000
Speaker 2: game if anything else happens besides that field goal. We

947
00:43:04,080 --> 00:43:07,200
Speaker 2: have NFL Network Cynthia Freeland joining us in about fifteen

948
00:43:07,280 --> 00:43:10,600
Speaker 2: minutes live from Ford Field in Detroit to break down

949
00:43:10,600 --> 00:43:11,960
Speaker 2: that Lions Bucks game.

950
00:43:12,000 --> 00:43:14,480
Speaker 4: But first we're going to run through all.

951
00:43:14,360 --> 00:43:17,759
Speaker 2: The divisional matchups this weekend and talk about what's on

952
00:43:17,840 --> 00:43:22,520
Speaker 2: the line really in each game, starting with this Texans

953
00:43:23,040 --> 00:43:27,400
Speaker 2: at Ravens game, which is I think we're still in

954
00:43:27,400 --> 00:43:28,120
Speaker 2: the first quarter.

955
00:43:28,920 --> 00:43:29,319
Speaker 4: It's own.

956
00:43:29,360 --> 00:43:32,040
Speaker 2: There's only been a field goal so far, fifty three

957
00:43:32,080 --> 00:43:36,400
Speaker 2: yard field goal for the Ravens up by three. The

958
00:43:36,480 --> 00:43:42,000
Speaker 2: question here is is Lamar's legacy on the line this weekend?

959
00:43:42,280 --> 00:43:45,720
Speaker 2: All right, this game feels like it's all about Lamar

960
00:43:45,800 --> 00:43:48,600
Speaker 2: Jackson right now. He is the MVP favorite, as he

961
00:43:48,640 --> 00:43:51,919
Speaker 2: should be during the regular season, but he's only won

962
00:43:52,000 --> 00:43:57,000
Speaker 2: one playoff game in his six seasons. Right, he does

963
00:43:57,120 --> 00:44:01,480
Speaker 2: know what's at stake here, he said this week it

964
00:44:01,560 --> 00:44:04,720
Speaker 2: made me sit back and realize, Damn, I'm getting older.

965
00:44:05,239 --> 00:44:07,800
Speaker 2: I've got a lot of I've got to get a

966
00:44:07,880 --> 00:44:11,000
Speaker 2: championship now. That's the one reason I'm stressing that I

967
00:44:11,080 --> 00:44:13,840
Speaker 2: need to win. I'm not getting any younger. It's best

968
00:44:13,840 --> 00:44:21,080
Speaker 2: to win now. So hasn't been like a exciting, flashy

969
00:44:21,400 --> 00:44:25,440
Speaker 2: start so far to this game. Their star tight end

970
00:44:25,480 --> 00:44:28,760
Speaker 2: Mark Andrews wasn't available today, but this team has played

971
00:44:28,800 --> 00:44:33,120
Speaker 2: incredible without him. They were five and one since he's

972
00:44:33,160 --> 00:44:34,920
Speaker 2: gone down with his injury. The only loss came in

973
00:44:34,960 --> 00:44:38,560
Speaker 2: week eighteen when they sat most of their starters, plus

974
00:44:38,600 --> 00:44:41,320
Speaker 2: Isaiah Likely has been playing really well in his.

975
00:44:42,640 --> 00:44:49,160
Speaker 4: In his place, they activated Dalvin Cook. So they.

976
00:44:51,560 --> 00:44:54,640
Speaker 2: Should win this game. But it's also a great story

977
00:44:54,680 --> 00:44:57,080
Speaker 2: on the other side for CJ. Stroud, who's the Rookie

978
00:44:57,120 --> 00:45:00,560
Speaker 2: of the Year favorite, and Hiss turn this Texan franchise

979
00:45:00,920 --> 00:45:02,160
Speaker 2: completely around.

980
00:45:02,280 --> 00:45:06,680
Speaker 4: Also with a rookie head coach. The Texans are.

981
00:45:06,560 --> 00:45:09,880
Speaker 2: Set with their franchise quarterback, and he got them to

982
00:45:09,960 --> 00:45:12,080
Speaker 2: the playoffs in his first season.

983
00:45:12,160 --> 00:45:15,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, youngest rookie to win a playoff game. Yeah, yeah,

984
00:45:15,480 --> 00:45:20,719
Speaker 3: because he's quarterbacky. Yeah, you know what I'm saying. But

985
00:45:20,760 --> 00:45:23,360
Speaker 3: of course, of course Amar's legacy is on the line.

986
00:45:23,400 --> 00:45:24,960
Speaker 3: Of course, if.

987
00:45:24,920 --> 00:45:29,839
Speaker 2: Lamar Jackson, the best team this season with the MVP favorite,

988
00:45:30,360 --> 00:45:34,000
Speaker 2: loses this game to the rookie quarterback and rookie head coach,

989
00:45:35,760 --> 00:45:38,400
Speaker 2: there might need to be some hard conversations. This feels

990
00:45:38,400 --> 00:45:42,560
Speaker 2: like a must win game for Lamar Jackson. He got

991
00:45:42,560 --> 00:45:45,280
Speaker 2: his big contract, as he should have. He deserves every

992
00:45:45,360 --> 00:45:48,319
Speaker 2: penny of that contract he has an He's had an

993
00:45:48,440 --> 00:45:51,960
Speaker 2: MVP season. Now we just need to see him have

994
00:45:52,000 --> 00:45:55,320
Speaker 2: those results here in the postseason. There's a minute left

995
00:45:55,520 --> 00:45:58,960
Speaker 2: in the first quarter. Again, Raven's up just by a

996
00:45:58,960 --> 00:45:59,800
Speaker 2: field goal.

997
00:46:00,719 --> 00:46:04,280
Speaker 3: So plenty of game left. Yeah, you know he hasn't.

998
00:46:04,320 --> 00:46:06,680
Speaker 3: Lamar Jackson, because of injuries, hasn't played a playoff game

999
00:46:06,719 --> 00:46:08,560
Speaker 3: in one and ninety nine days.

1000
00:46:08,800 --> 00:46:11,200
Speaker 4: Like that sounds a very math how many?

1001
00:46:14,640 --> 00:46:17,200
Speaker 3: Like two for sure? Maybe three? I don't I'm not

1002
00:46:17,200 --> 00:46:18,839
Speaker 3: good with math either. It sounds like a lot because

1003
00:46:18,840 --> 00:46:21,239
Speaker 3: of injuries and stuff. But you know you mentioned it

1004
00:46:21,280 --> 00:46:25,040
Speaker 3: one in three in the playoffs. The playoff numbers are

1005
00:46:25,080 --> 00:46:27,960
Speaker 3: what was not good with Lamar Because like during the

1006
00:46:28,000 --> 00:46:30,600
Speaker 3: regular season, he's really great, you know what I'm saying,

1007
00:46:30,600 --> 00:46:33,359
Speaker 3: Like he does damage on the ground, in the air,

1008
00:46:33,480 --> 00:46:37,239
Speaker 3: throwing his best football this season, like he's he's doing

1009
00:46:37,280 --> 00:46:40,120
Speaker 3: really well. But in the playoffs, Yeah, the Ravens average

1010
00:46:40,160 --> 00:46:43,520
Speaker 3: thirteen points per game. He has four touchdowns, all have

1011
00:46:43,560 --> 00:46:45,239
Speaker 3: come in the fourth quarter when the team has been

1012
00:46:45,280 --> 00:46:47,839
Speaker 3: down by at least twelve points, to go along with

1013
00:46:47,880 --> 00:46:51,479
Speaker 3: seven turnovers. Like his playoffs are not what it's about.

1014
00:46:51,640 --> 00:46:54,000
Speaker 3: But he's about to win his second MVP as everyone

1015
00:46:54,080 --> 00:46:54,719
Speaker 3: is talking about.

1016
00:46:54,800 --> 00:46:57,359
Speaker 4: Yeah, so which is based off the regular season, off.

1017
00:46:57,280 --> 00:47:03,280
Speaker 3: The regular season. Yeah, you know, like it's this will

1018
00:47:03,320 --> 00:47:07,879
Speaker 3: this will matter, this will matter. Yeah, you cannot say

1019
00:47:07,880 --> 00:47:08,400
Speaker 3: it won't.

1020
00:47:08,560 --> 00:47:13,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's move on to tonight's game. Yeah, Packers at

1021
00:47:13,160 --> 00:47:18,479
Speaker 2: forty nine ers? Who needs this win more? I'm gonna say,

1022
00:47:18,920 --> 00:47:22,520
Speaker 2: Brock Party. The pressure is all on Brock Party and

1023
00:47:22,560 --> 00:47:25,360
Speaker 2: the forty nine ers, right because Party was top five

1024
00:47:25,520 --> 00:47:29,040
Speaker 2: in most of the quarterback stats this season passing yards, passing, touchdown,

1025
00:47:29,040 --> 00:47:32,600
Speaker 2: passer rating, completion percentage and all that talk last season

1026
00:47:32,640 --> 00:47:35,560
Speaker 2: after they're lost at Eagles, if Purdy was healthy, If

1027
00:47:35,600 --> 00:47:37,440
Speaker 2: Purdy was here, we would have made it to the

1028
00:47:37,440 --> 00:47:40,840
Speaker 2: super Bowl. This kind of feels like you need to

1029
00:47:40,920 --> 00:47:44,160
Speaker 2: prove he's as good as this team says he is.

1030
00:47:44,200 --> 00:47:46,799
Speaker 2: They had the best team in the NFC, the most

1031
00:47:46,840 --> 00:47:51,960
Speaker 2: well rounded roster, one of the top coaches in the league.

1032
00:47:52,040 --> 00:47:54,920
Speaker 2: They also had a week off to rest and prepare,

1033
00:47:55,120 --> 00:47:58,920
Speaker 2: even kind of like two weeks to recover and prepare

1034
00:47:58,920 --> 00:48:00,840
Speaker 2: for their starters because they rested most of them for

1035
00:48:00,880 --> 00:48:04,239
Speaker 2: Week eighteen, And as we just heard Tracy Sandler say,

1036
00:48:04,239 --> 00:48:09,480
Speaker 2: they've been preparing for this Packers team. Halfway through the

1037
00:48:09,520 --> 00:48:12,319
Speaker 2: Cowboys game, Shanahan was like, Yeah, it's looking like we're

1038
00:48:12,360 --> 00:48:17,760
Speaker 2: gonna play. We're gonna play the Packers. But they feel,

1039
00:48:17,880 --> 00:48:20,840
Speaker 2: as Tracy was telling us, locked and loaded and ready

1040
00:48:20,880 --> 00:48:23,200
Speaker 2: and know what's on the line and kind of using

1041
00:48:23,239 --> 00:48:26,760
Speaker 2: that experience in that pressure to their advantage.

1042
00:48:27,120 --> 00:48:29,799
Speaker 4: But on the other side, the Packers are kind of

1043
00:48:29,840 --> 00:48:30,560
Speaker 4: similar to the.

1044
00:48:30,560 --> 00:48:33,120
Speaker 2: Texans here where they have a first year starting quarterback

1045
00:48:33,120 --> 00:48:33,879
Speaker 2: in Jordan Love.

1046
00:48:34,360 --> 00:48:35,719
Speaker 4: They're playing with house money.

1047
00:48:35,760 --> 00:48:39,080
Speaker 2: They got further I think than anyone other than Packers

1048
00:48:39,120 --> 00:48:41,080
Speaker 2: fans expected them.

1049
00:48:40,880 --> 00:48:44,400
Speaker 4: To get, which also makes them extremely dangerous. They have

1050
00:48:44,480 --> 00:48:46,759
Speaker 4: nothing to lose. No one was expecting them to go

1051
00:48:46,880 --> 00:48:50,640
Speaker 4: into Dallas and just embarrass the Cowboys. They have a

1052
00:48:50,640 --> 00:48:55,000
Speaker 4: great quarterback, great young weapons, and a solid head coach. Again,

1053
00:48:55,040 --> 00:48:57,200
Speaker 4: it should be the forty nine ers, and I feel

1054
00:48:57,239 --> 00:48:58,719
Speaker 4: like there's more on the line for.

1055
00:48:58,719 --> 00:49:02,759
Speaker 3: Them, one hundred more on the line, especially after what

1056
00:49:02,800 --> 00:49:05,120
Speaker 3: they did to the Cowboys. Like that adds, I think

1057
00:49:05,120 --> 00:49:06,400
Speaker 3: to the pressure to the forty nine ers.

1058
00:49:06,480 --> 00:49:06,719
Speaker 4: Yeah.

1059
00:49:06,719 --> 00:49:09,400
Speaker 3: If I'm you know, like, this is nothing against what

1060
00:49:09,520 --> 00:49:12,000
Speaker 3: Jordan Love is doing, because in the later half of

1061
00:49:12,000 --> 00:49:14,759
Speaker 3: the season, Jordan Love has been incredible. Yeah, and I

1062
00:49:14,800 --> 00:49:17,279
Speaker 3: know we're gonna talk more about quarterbacks later, but I

1063
00:49:17,760 --> 00:49:19,040
Speaker 3: said it. I think last week I was like, I

1064
00:49:19,040 --> 00:49:20,640
Speaker 3: feel like the Packers are like, we're just happy to

1065
00:49:20,680 --> 00:49:22,720
Speaker 3: be here. Now they beat the Cowboys, and of course

1066
00:49:22,880 --> 00:49:25,920
Speaker 3: that mentality changes where it's like, oh, we are supposed

1067
00:49:25,920 --> 00:49:27,919
Speaker 3: to be here, right, and it's like, you guys, go

1068
00:49:28,239 --> 00:49:30,160
Speaker 3: like do what you can. If you can beat the

1069
00:49:30,160 --> 00:49:33,640
Speaker 3: forty nine ers, good for you. But I think let's

1070
00:49:33,680 --> 00:49:37,279
Speaker 3: hypothetically say the Packers beat the forty nine ers. The

1071
00:49:37,320 --> 00:49:39,800
Speaker 3: conversation the next day is not gonna be the Packers

1072
00:49:39,840 --> 00:49:41,200
Speaker 3: beat the forty nine ers. It's gonna be the forty

1073
00:49:41,239 --> 00:49:43,880
Speaker 3: nine ers lost. Yeah, that's the conversation.

1074
00:49:43,520 --> 00:49:48,960
Speaker 2: Which is what it was last week, and Cowboys embarrassedly.

1075
00:49:48,200 --> 00:49:51,520
Speaker 3: Lost exactly, So the pressure is on the forty nine

1076
00:49:51,600 --> 00:49:54,279
Speaker 3: ers a one hundred percent. I don't want to say

1077
00:49:54,280 --> 00:49:57,399
Speaker 3: that it's on party, even though you're right, it is

1078
00:49:57,800 --> 00:49:58,880
Speaker 3: becaus ill doubted.

1079
00:49:59,040 --> 00:50:01,920
Speaker 2: He of course he He's been in the MVP conversation

1080
00:50:02,120 --> 00:50:05,000
Speaker 2: all season, led the league in a good chunk of

1081
00:50:05,040 --> 00:50:08,799
Speaker 2: the quarterback stats top five, and he's still like, well,

1082
00:50:08,840 --> 00:50:11,799
Speaker 2: it's his supporting cast, Well, it's his coach. It's like, yeah,

1083
00:50:12,120 --> 00:50:14,600
Speaker 2: he still has to like get the ball into their hands.

1084
00:50:14,600 --> 00:50:15,680
Speaker 4: He still has to like.

1085
00:50:15,719 --> 00:50:17,799
Speaker 3: I'm with you, yeah, yeah, yeah. I just think he's

1086
00:50:17,800 --> 00:50:20,600
Speaker 3: still so young, like the people, the way people have

1087
00:50:20,680 --> 00:50:23,520
Speaker 3: just brushed him aside, that he is just a system quarterback.

1088
00:50:23,560 --> 00:50:24,839
Speaker 3: It's like, but he's so young.

1089
00:50:24,880 --> 00:50:26,160
Speaker 4: This is his first year as a starter.

1090
00:50:26,440 --> 00:50:28,400
Speaker 3: He was thrown as a third string star as a

1091
00:50:28,440 --> 00:50:31,600
Speaker 3: third string quarterback last year, so it's like, he's still young,

1092
00:50:31,760 --> 00:50:34,000
Speaker 3: but you are right, you are right on the way

1093
00:50:34,040 --> 00:50:37,239
Speaker 3: he is criticized that it is a lot on him unfortunately,

1094
00:50:37,280 --> 00:50:39,319
Speaker 3: even though I just don't think it's fair. Maybe that's

1095
00:50:39,360 --> 00:50:41,080
Speaker 3: where I'm coming in on it, but you're right.

1096
00:50:41,040 --> 00:50:41,640
Speaker 4: It's not fair.

1097
00:50:41,880 --> 00:50:44,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, but he also wasn't a first round pick like

1098
00:50:44,320 --> 00:50:48,680
Speaker 2: he was the very lossy pick in the draft. I

1099
00:50:49,080 --> 00:50:51,840
Speaker 2: don't think it's he should be called mister irrelevant.

1100
00:50:51,920 --> 00:50:53,680
Speaker 4: He should not. He needs to be called a pretty

1101
00:50:53,680 --> 00:50:54,760
Speaker 4: good pick, a.

1102
00:50:54,640 --> 00:50:56,600
Speaker 3: Pretty good relevant.

1103
00:50:56,719 --> 00:50:58,680
Speaker 2: We're gonna leave it at that and move on to

1104
00:50:58,680 --> 00:51:02,320
Speaker 2: tomorrow's games, right Bucks at Lions.

1105
00:51:03,600 --> 00:51:06,360
Speaker 4: I feel like this is the Lions game to lose.

1106
00:51:06,960 --> 00:51:07,879
Speaker 4: I believe.

1107
00:51:09,560 --> 00:51:14,520
Speaker 2: The Lions hype has been so high coming into this season.

1108
00:51:14,719 --> 00:51:17,880
Speaker 2: They lived up to it during the season. They just

1109
00:51:17,920 --> 00:51:21,040
Speaker 2: won their first playoff game in thirty two years. Ford

1110
00:51:21,040 --> 00:51:26,520
Speaker 2: Field was on fire. Even Baker Mayfield shared what his

1111
00:51:26,680 --> 00:51:30,840
Speaker 2: former Rams teammates told him about the stadium.

1112
00:51:31,160 --> 00:51:33,640
Speaker 15: Playing in Kansas City during the playoffs was great as well,

1113
00:51:33,680 --> 00:51:35,480
Speaker 15: But just talking to some of those Rams guys, they

1114
00:51:35,480 --> 00:51:37,040
Speaker 15: said it was the loudest thing they've ever heard. So

1115
00:51:37,280 --> 00:51:39,279
Speaker 15: we got to be completely ready for that. It just

1116
00:51:39,320 --> 00:51:42,800
Speaker 15: comes down to everybody knowing exactly what our game plan is,

1117
00:51:42,840 --> 00:51:44,800
Speaker 15: all the calls to and from, because there could be

1118
00:51:44,840 --> 00:51:46,520
Speaker 15: certain times that they might not hear certain things, they

1119
00:51:46,600 --> 00:51:48,600
Speaker 15: might have to plug and play some of the words.

1120
00:51:49,000 --> 00:51:51,800
Speaker 15: So just everybody doing the mental work to get prepped

1121
00:51:51,800 --> 00:51:53,160
Speaker 15: for that. But it shouldn't be a surprise to us.

1122
00:51:53,239 --> 00:51:54,520
Speaker 15: It's going to be a great atmosphere.

1123
00:51:55,239 --> 00:51:58,160
Speaker 4: I mean you could see it just through the TV screen.

1124
00:51:58,360 --> 00:52:01,319
Speaker 2: We're going to talk to Cynthia of Freeland in a

1125
00:52:01,360 --> 00:52:04,239
Speaker 2: couple of minutes here, who was there in Detroit, lifelaying

1126
00:52:04,960 --> 00:52:08,680
Speaker 2: Lions fan. She's there for NFL Network all today, all

1127
00:52:08,719 --> 00:52:12,080
Speaker 2: tomorrow to kind of get that vibe of what the

1128
00:52:12,120 --> 00:52:14,200
Speaker 2: feeling is like in Detroit right now. But you even

1129
00:52:14,239 --> 00:52:16,960
Speaker 2: saw it, like we saw all the Dan Campbell hype

1130
00:52:17,000 --> 00:52:19,839
Speaker 2: videos in the locker room after the game telling Jared

1131
00:52:19,880 --> 00:52:22,720
Speaker 2: Goff you're good enough for Detroit, throwing him the game ball.

1132
00:52:22,800 --> 00:52:26,800
Speaker 2: I mean, it was like a movie scene in that moment.

1133
00:52:26,960 --> 00:52:31,400
Speaker 2: But this is one of those games that like could

1134
00:52:31,440 --> 00:52:33,840
Speaker 2: really go either way. The Lions are playing for history.

1135
00:52:33,880 --> 00:52:36,239
Speaker 2: Baker Mayfield is playing for his future.

1136
00:52:36,880 --> 00:52:39,120
Speaker 3: I feel like he's he's got his future. I think

1137
00:52:39,160 --> 00:52:42,560
Speaker 3: he's proven in himself at least for like the next

1138
00:52:43,040 --> 00:52:45,120
Speaker 3: three years type of thing. I'm not saying that Tampa

1139
00:52:45,120 --> 00:52:46,640
Speaker 3: Bay's gonna be like you want a ten year contract.

1140
00:52:46,640 --> 00:52:48,719
Speaker 3: But I think Tampa's like, let's keep you around. Let's

1141
00:52:48,760 --> 00:52:50,840
Speaker 3: keep you around a couple of years. Yeah, but I

1142
00:52:51,400 --> 00:52:53,040
Speaker 3: agree with you that I think it is more on

1143
00:52:53,040 --> 00:52:56,120
Speaker 3: the Lions than it is on the Buccaneers. I said

1144
00:52:56,239 --> 00:52:58,359
Speaker 3: I think last week too. I think the Buccaneers are

1145
00:52:58,560 --> 00:53:01,319
Speaker 3: We're just happy to be here. They won, and now

1146
00:53:01,360 --> 00:53:03,520
Speaker 3: maybe they're like, hey, we could do a little bit

1147
00:53:03,520 --> 00:53:07,399
Speaker 3: of damage. But the Lions have a little bit more

1148
00:53:07,440 --> 00:53:11,919
Speaker 3: expectation coming into the season now they won their first

1149
00:53:11,920 --> 00:53:14,880
Speaker 3: playoff game, when you know the division, like the pressure

1150
00:53:15,000 --> 00:53:17,719
Speaker 3: has been added more and more because they keep getting further. Yeah,

1151
00:53:17,719 --> 00:53:19,080
Speaker 3: which is a good thing. It's a good thing.

1152
00:53:19,120 --> 00:53:19,600
Speaker 4: It's a great thing.

1153
00:53:19,680 --> 00:53:21,440
Speaker 3: It's a great thing. So I'm with you. I think

1154
00:53:21,440 --> 00:53:23,640
Speaker 3: it's on them. It's their game to lose.

1155
00:53:23,960 --> 00:53:25,440
Speaker 4: Yep, Yeah, yep.

1156
00:53:25,840 --> 00:53:29,520
Speaker 2: We'll talk more about that with Cynthia coming appear in

1157
00:53:29,520 --> 00:53:33,680
Speaker 2: about ten minutes. Let's move to the final game. So

1158
00:53:33,760 --> 00:53:38,080
Speaker 2: excited about all at Bills is Josh Allen's legacy on

1159
00:53:38,120 --> 00:53:41,719
Speaker 2: the line this weekend. This game feels like it's Josh

1160
00:53:41,800 --> 00:53:47,080
Speaker 2: Allen's opportunity to finally get a win against the Chiefs

1161
00:53:47,360 --> 00:53:49,920
Speaker 2: in the postseason because He's zero and two in his

1162
00:53:50,000 --> 00:53:52,440
Speaker 2: career against them. Now, Josh Allen has been on an

1163
00:53:52,520 --> 00:53:56,319
Speaker 2: absolute tear since they fired their OC Bills have won

1164
00:53:56,400 --> 00:53:59,640
Speaker 2: six in a row. They've been playing for their lives

1165
00:53:59,760 --> 00:54:02,360
Speaker 2: in all of those games, so that's why their mindset

1166
00:54:02,480 --> 00:54:05,200
Speaker 2: has kind of been a little different. And Josh Allen

1167
00:54:05,280 --> 00:54:09,160
Speaker 2: talked this week about why they have been playing so calm.

1168
00:54:09,320 --> 00:54:13,279
Speaker 17: We're playing at a comfortable level because of the uncomfortable

1169
00:54:13,280 --> 00:54:16,080
Speaker 17: situations that we've been in this last six seven weeks.

1170
00:54:16,480 --> 00:54:19,239
Speaker 17: You know, it's almost a sense of our breath of

1171
00:54:19,320 --> 00:54:21,360
Speaker 17: fresh air and knowing that everybody's in the same position

1172
00:54:21,400 --> 00:54:23,640
Speaker 17: that we have been, you know, win or go home,

1173
00:54:23,680 --> 00:54:26,279
Speaker 17: and to be in that situation, like I said, the

1174
00:54:26,320 --> 00:54:28,520
Speaker 17: dividends that it's going to pay off. And I think

1175
00:54:28,520 --> 00:54:30,120
Speaker 17: you kind of saw that tonight of you know, we

1176
00:54:30,120 --> 00:54:32,680
Speaker 17: were cool, calm and collected, and nobody blinked and we

1177
00:54:32,719 --> 00:54:33,799
Speaker 17: just kind of went out there and did our job.

1178
00:54:33,840 --> 00:54:34,759
Speaker 12: And we're going to need to.

1179
00:54:34,760 --> 00:54:35,480
Speaker 7: Continue to do that.

1180
00:54:36,160 --> 00:54:36,319
Speaker 12: Now.

1181
00:54:36,320 --> 00:54:38,200
Speaker 2: Another thing that's kind of on the Bill side. This

1182
00:54:38,320 --> 00:54:42,279
Speaker 2: is Patrick Patrick Mahomes' first ever playoff road game and

1183
00:54:42,320 --> 00:54:45,360
Speaker 2: only his second game he's played in Buffalo, but the

1184
00:54:45,400 --> 00:54:46,600
Speaker 2: first one was in twenty twenty.

1185
00:54:46,640 --> 00:54:49,719
Speaker 4: No fans in the stands, so goodness.

1186
00:54:49,400 --> 00:54:53,680
Speaker 2: I forgot about that that has not experienced Bill's Mafia.

1187
00:54:54,080 --> 00:54:55,120
Speaker 4: It's going to be different.

1188
00:54:55,440 --> 00:54:58,200
Speaker 2: It's going to be crazy in the best kind of

1189
00:54:58,239 --> 00:55:01,400
Speaker 2: way in Buffalo with their fans. I don't know if

1190
00:55:01,440 --> 00:55:05,759
Speaker 2: you saw Bill's Mafia doing their famous table slams in

1191
00:55:05,880 --> 00:55:09,440
Speaker 2: the snow last weekend, but the tables were on fire.

1192
00:55:09,920 --> 00:55:10,920
Speaker 4: Ha ha, you.

1193
00:55:11,000 --> 00:55:14,480
Speaker 2: Guys, Bill's Mafia is just built different, and they're like,

1194
00:55:14,520 --> 00:55:19,160
Speaker 2: they're going knowing that Mahomes has never played a playoff

1195
00:55:19,160 --> 00:55:22,400
Speaker 2: game on the road, has never experienced Bill's Mafia in

1196
00:55:22,719 --> 00:55:23,720
Speaker 2: their house.

1197
00:55:25,040 --> 00:55:27,760
Speaker 4: Plus it's been kind of an off season for the Chiefs.

1198
00:55:27,760 --> 00:55:30,040
Speaker 2: So if you're Josh Allen, you don't know how many

1199
00:55:30,040 --> 00:55:32,279
Speaker 2: more of these opportunities you were going to get with

1200
00:55:32,400 --> 00:55:35,920
Speaker 2: Patrick Mahomes. She's led the league in drops, he doesn't

1201
00:55:35,920 --> 00:55:38,760
Speaker 2: have a ton of offensive weapons. He trusts Travis Kelcey

1202
00:55:39,160 --> 00:55:41,000
Speaker 2: or Kelse. I don't know if you saw that this week.

1203
00:55:41,000 --> 00:55:43,800
Speaker 2: Apparently the real way you say his name is Kelse.

1204
00:55:44,280 --> 00:55:47,040
Speaker 2: Oh yeah. Fun fact when that came out has not

1205
00:55:47,160 --> 00:55:50,040
Speaker 2: been one hundred percent. So the doors open for the

1206
00:55:50,080 --> 00:55:52,960
Speaker 2: Bills to take this and run with it. You're at home,

1207
00:55:53,000 --> 00:55:56,439
Speaker 2: you're on a roll. You're facing a weaker Chiefs team

1208
00:55:56,480 --> 00:55:58,800
Speaker 2: than they are in years past.

1209
00:55:58,880 --> 00:56:02,160
Speaker 4: So this is your moment.

1210
00:56:02,520 --> 00:56:05,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm with you. You know, same draft class as

1211
00:56:05,280 --> 00:56:07,680
Speaker 3: Lamar Jackson. He is now five and four after winning

1212
00:56:07,719 --> 00:56:11,560
Speaker 3: this last playoff game, so it is his perfect opportunity.

1213
00:56:11,600 --> 00:56:13,920
Speaker 3: He's been on a tear. We've talked about how like

1214
00:56:13,960 --> 00:56:16,239
Speaker 3: the end of the season he was he put the

1215
00:56:16,239 --> 00:56:19,200
Speaker 3: team on his shoulders. Yeah, Diggs, who everyone was like

1216
00:56:19,360 --> 00:56:21,880
Speaker 3: Jevon Diggs, who everyone was expecting to be, you know,

1217
00:56:22,520 --> 00:56:25,080
Speaker 3: a killer in the game, like, has been very up

1218
00:56:25,160 --> 00:56:27,399
Speaker 3: and down this season, not what you expected. Yet here

1219
00:56:27,520 --> 00:56:29,920
Speaker 3: is Josh Allen. There is a lot writing on this game.

1220
00:56:29,960 --> 00:56:31,680
Speaker 3: He needs to take advantage of what you just said,

1221
00:56:31,800 --> 00:56:34,480
Speaker 3: the Chiefs being not the typical Chiefs that we have

1222
00:56:34,560 --> 00:56:36,560
Speaker 3: seen the last couple of years. And I think I

1223
00:56:36,760 --> 00:56:39,359
Speaker 3: said this also, like the entire AFC needs to take

1224
00:56:39,360 --> 00:56:41,360
Speaker 3: advantage that Joe Burrow the Bengals aren't.

1225
00:56:41,160 --> 00:56:45,680
Speaker 4: Here, Okay, Joe Burrow, like you know, like all all

1226
00:56:45,880 --> 00:56:48,400
Speaker 4: the homes. A weaker Chiefs team, like there's Wally.

1227
00:56:48,200 --> 00:56:51,600
Speaker 3: Hughes needs to take advantage and Josh Allen, you like

1228
00:56:51,800 --> 00:56:53,880
Speaker 3: he said, We're not blinking. He ain't blinking.

1229
00:56:53,960 --> 00:56:55,520
Speaker 4: No, this is his time, This is his time.

1230
00:56:55,719 --> 00:56:57,200
Speaker 2: All right, We're gonna take a quick break here, but

1231
00:56:57,200 --> 00:56:59,759
Speaker 2: when we come back, NFL Network Cynthia Frielan is joining

1235
00:57:09,040 --> 00:57:12,520

1236
00:57:12,640 --> 00:57:15,080
Speaker 2: just scored a touchdown and are now up ten to

1237
00:57:15,239 --> 00:57:19,240
Speaker 2: three in the second quarter. But right now, let's get

00:57:42,400 --> 00:57:44,000
Speaker 2: in Detroit right now and.

1245
00:57:44,000 --> 00:57:46,680
Speaker 4: You get to witness Lions playoff football.

1246
00:57:46,720 --> 00:57:49,440
Speaker 2: How did it feel to watch your Lions get their

1247
00:57:49,480 --> 00:57:51,640
Speaker 2: first playoff win in thirty two years?

1248
00:57:51,840 --> 00:57:55,240
Speaker 10: I mean I was tears and laughing, and there were

1249
00:57:55,240 --> 00:57:56,080
Speaker 10: squares and.

1250
00:57:56,000 --> 00:57:58,520
Speaker 12: There I just was like there was a lot of

1251
00:57:58,640 --> 00:58:02,160
Speaker 12: nerves becausebviously it wasn't like a there was no slam

1252
00:58:02,240 --> 00:58:04,520
Speaker 12: dunk in that case at all. It was down to

1253
00:58:04,560 --> 00:58:07,320
Speaker 12: the very last moment, and I just thought it was

1254
00:58:07,360 --> 00:58:10,120
Speaker 12: so special for you know, the people of Detroit. Like

1255
00:58:10,560 --> 00:58:13,040
Speaker 12: I keep joking that we couldn't have even texted each

1256
00:58:13,040 --> 00:58:13,880
Speaker 12: other the last.

1257
00:58:13,680 --> 00:58:17,040
Speaker 9: Time that the Lions won because there were no cell phones. Yes,

1258
00:58:17,160 --> 00:58:19,600
Speaker 9: there had like those weird bag phones that you.

1259
00:58:19,560 --> 00:58:21,880
Speaker 4: Were like one of the people who had it, so lucky.

1260
00:58:22,600 --> 00:58:23,480
Speaker 12: Yeah, if you were lucky.

1261
00:58:23,480 --> 00:58:24,680
Speaker 9: So it's just most funny.

1262
00:58:24,680 --> 00:58:27,120
Speaker 12: And you know, as I when I landed, the people

1263
00:58:27,120 --> 00:58:27,640
Speaker 12: coming off the.

1264
00:58:27,600 --> 00:58:28,760
Speaker 9: Plane were so happy.

1265
00:58:28,840 --> 00:58:31,800
Speaker 12: And today we got a chance to broadcast from Ford

1266
00:58:31,880 --> 00:58:34,680
Speaker 12: Field and all the workers there. Everyone just feels like

1267
00:58:34,720 --> 00:58:35,640
Speaker 12: it's so special.

1268
00:58:35,800 --> 00:58:37,800
Speaker 9: So it's really cool to see.

1269
00:58:37,840 --> 00:58:40,720
Speaker 12: And it's great to you know, Detroit such like a

1270
00:58:40,760 --> 00:58:43,760
Speaker 12: the pardon the pun, but it's a gritty city. So

1271
00:58:43,840 --> 00:58:46,320
Speaker 12: it's nice to see kind of the coach and the

1272
00:58:46,360 --> 00:58:49,520
Speaker 12: team embodying what the entire city is about.

1273
00:58:49,600 --> 00:58:50,080
Speaker 4: I love that.

1274
00:58:50,160 --> 00:58:54,080
Speaker 2: What is the environment like in Detroit right now, like

1275
00:58:54,200 --> 00:58:57,120
Speaker 2: at the field around the stadium, as you mentioned, fans

1276
00:58:57,160 --> 00:59:00,360
Speaker 2: coming in for the game tomorrow.

1277
00:59:00,120 --> 00:59:03,240
Speaker 12: Every single like I don't you know, local news is hilarious.

1278
00:59:03,240 --> 00:59:04,640
Speaker 12: I don't watch a ton of it in LA, but

1279
00:59:04,720 --> 00:59:06,720
Speaker 12: like you know, it's every single station.

1280
00:59:06,640 --> 00:59:09,360
Speaker 11: Has on you know, really fun like sizzle packages of

1281
00:59:09,640 --> 00:59:12,600
Speaker 11: all of the cool like with stories like my grandpa

1282
00:59:12,840 --> 00:59:17,919
Speaker 11: cook me through my first all these like family stories and.

1283
00:59:18,080 --> 00:59:20,680
Speaker 12: These like really nice like I don't know, just like

1284
00:59:20,760 --> 00:59:23,720
Speaker 12: people like people really care, you know, like there's fans

1285
00:59:23,720 --> 00:59:27,600
Speaker 12: who buried their dat and a line jacket twenty years ago.

1286
00:59:27,680 --> 00:59:30,640
Speaker 12: It's everyone's like kind of saying their story, and I

1287
00:59:30,680 --> 00:59:33,000
Speaker 12: don't know, I'm obviously from here, So it's just it's

1288
00:59:33,000 --> 00:59:34,120
Speaker 12: really special to have.

1289
00:59:34,040 --> 00:59:36,640
Speaker 9: Something that was a very long playoff.

1290
00:59:36,360 --> 00:59:39,840
Speaker 12: Drought finally be over and now the chance to potentially

1291
00:59:40,120 --> 00:59:42,760
Speaker 12: win one more game that leads you know, the season's

1292
00:59:42,800 --> 00:59:45,440
Speaker 12: not over yet. This hasn't happened in the story in Forever.

1293
00:59:46,440 --> 00:59:49,080
Speaker 3: I gotta know you, did you expect to feel differently

1294
00:59:49,200 --> 00:59:52,560
Speaker 3: like you're working? How are you not fanning out?

1295
00:59:52,680 --> 00:59:52,760
Speaker 12: Like?

1296
00:59:52,760 --> 00:59:55,280
Speaker 3: Did you expect to be to be feeling differently in

1297
00:59:55,320 --> 00:59:59,160
Speaker 3: this situation now that you're there working second playoff game?

1298
01:00:00,080 --> 01:00:01,800
Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean, I'm with you. I didn't.

1299
01:00:01,800 --> 01:00:03,680
Speaker 12: I don't know if I ever like thought this would happen,

1300
01:00:04,600 --> 01:00:09,320
Speaker 12: But no, like I think I feel like they get nice,

1301
01:00:09,520 --> 01:00:12,600
Speaker 12: like it makes you really grateful for all your opportunities, right, Like,

1302
01:00:13,120 --> 01:00:15,840
Speaker 12: you know, it just makes you remind me, like what

1303
01:00:15,880 --> 01:00:17,560
Speaker 12: this is all about and why we're doing this. And

1304
01:00:17,800 --> 01:00:20,880
Speaker 12: sometimes the season can feel long, and sometimes there's things

1305
01:00:20,880 --> 01:00:22,960
Speaker 12: that are tough along the way, just like everything else

1306
01:00:23,000 --> 01:00:25,800
Speaker 12: in life, and there's some nice reminders that it's all

1307
01:00:25,880 --> 01:00:27,800
Speaker 12: kind of going to work out in life. Is this

1308
01:00:27,880 --> 01:00:30,880
Speaker 12: a good metaphor for life in general? So I just

1309
01:00:30,920 --> 01:00:33,400
Speaker 12: feel like happy and grateful.

1310
01:00:33,040 --> 01:00:34,960
Speaker 9: And it's it's cool to kind of.

1311
01:00:34,920 --> 01:00:39,760
Speaker 12: Stay in those emotions because I definitely didn't expect that

1312
01:00:39,840 --> 01:00:40,760
Speaker 12: this would be.

1313
01:00:42,160 --> 01:00:44,919
Speaker 2: So so, as you mentioned, everybody is talking about how

1314
01:00:44,960 --> 01:00:47,760
Speaker 2: long it's been since it, like they want a playoff

1315
01:00:47,760 --> 01:00:50,840
Speaker 2: game thirty two years. So how did this Lion's team

1316
01:00:50,920 --> 01:00:54,680
Speaker 2: make sure that there's no hangover from that first playoff win?

1317
01:00:55,720 --> 01:00:57,600
Speaker 12: Well, the first thing they got to do is, you know,

1318
01:00:57,920 --> 01:01:01,040
Speaker 12: remember that this isn't the same team on both sides

1319
01:01:01,080 --> 01:01:03,440
Speaker 12: that played in Week six. Right, they were missing The

1320
01:01:03,480 --> 01:01:05,959
Speaker 12: Lions are missing a bunch of pieces, and.

1321
01:01:05,920 --> 01:01:07,959
Speaker 9: So were the Bucks. They were missing some pieces as well.

1322
01:01:08,040 --> 01:01:11,760
Speaker 12: And the Bucks obviously they've got to you know, some

1323
01:01:11,800 --> 01:01:15,280
Speaker 12: of their rookies Yaya Dab and Elijah Canty, who are.

1324
01:01:15,280 --> 01:01:16,600
Speaker 9: Pressure cookers up front.

1325
01:01:16,800 --> 01:01:19,320
Speaker 12: They've become a long way since Week six, so they

1326
01:01:19,360 --> 01:01:21,320
Speaker 12: just have to remember it's not quite the same team

1327
01:01:21,360 --> 01:01:23,320
Speaker 12: as before, so they're good to blitz.

1328
01:01:23,360 --> 01:01:24,880
Speaker 9: You know that Todd bold blitz is it is.

1329
01:01:24,800 --> 01:01:26,880
Speaker 12: The third highest rate in the National Football League. So

1330
01:01:27,120 --> 01:01:29,960
Speaker 12: how are you going to keep Jared Goff out of trouble?

1331
01:01:30,000 --> 01:01:31,000
Speaker 9: Because we know what happens.

1332
01:01:31,000 --> 01:01:33,560
Speaker 12: He has the biggest decrease in passer rating in the

1333
01:01:33,640 --> 01:01:35,760
Speaker 12: National Football League when he's under pressure.

1334
01:01:35,800 --> 01:01:38,560
Speaker 9: So how are you are they going to nullify that blitz?

1335
01:01:38,560 --> 01:01:40,440
Speaker 12: How are they going to make sure that the blitz

1336
01:01:40,480 --> 01:01:43,000
Speaker 12: doesn't turn into a pressure which could potentially cause a turnover?

1337
01:01:43,720 --> 01:01:45,680
Speaker 3: Alex and I were talking about how weird it is

1338
01:01:45,680 --> 01:01:47,480
Speaker 3: that all of these coordinators that are still in the

1339
01:01:47,480 --> 01:01:50,600
Speaker 3: playoffs are out there interviewing for head coaching jobs, are

1340
01:01:50,640 --> 01:01:54,280
Speaker 3: talking about or talking about it coming up. Is that

1341
01:01:54,360 --> 01:01:57,680
Speaker 3: a distraction you think, specifically because allions both of your

1342
01:01:57,680 --> 01:01:59,000
Speaker 3: coordinators are being looked at.

1343
01:02:00,120 --> 01:02:03,120
Speaker 12: Keep your grubby pause off right.

1344
01:02:04,440 --> 01:02:04,640
Speaker 4: Either.

1345
01:02:06,400 --> 01:02:09,080
Speaker 12: No, to be honest with you, you know, the good

1346
01:02:09,120 --> 01:02:11,880
Speaker 12: news is is like good coaches.

1347
01:02:11,640 --> 01:02:13,160
Speaker 9: Like head coaches like Dan Campbell.

1348
01:02:13,520 --> 01:02:15,960
Speaker 12: They it's a it's actually a really nice thing when

1349
01:02:16,000 --> 01:02:18,800
Speaker 12: your coordinators get interviews like this, it's a it's a

1350
01:02:18,800 --> 01:02:19,720
Speaker 12: sign of respect.

1351
01:02:19,840 --> 01:02:21,440
Speaker 9: And when you have that respect.

1352
01:02:21,120 --> 01:02:23,480
Speaker 12: Like it's not like they're going in there for these

1353
01:02:23,480 --> 01:02:26,840
Speaker 12: interviews and it's eight hours and they're having to create

1354
01:02:26,840 --> 01:02:29,040
Speaker 12: a new game plan or it's not like, you know,

1355
01:02:29,280 --> 01:02:31,720
Speaker 12: a lot of these at least initial interviews are a

1356
01:02:31,760 --> 01:02:34,280
Speaker 12: lot about fit and philosophy, and these are things that

1357
01:02:34,320 --> 01:02:37,160
Speaker 12: they talk about a lot, So it's it's less especially

1358
01:02:37,240 --> 01:02:39,760
Speaker 12: in the kind of early goings, it's less like it's

1359
01:02:39,800 --> 01:02:41,919
Speaker 12: a it's a conversation, and of course that takes time

1360
01:02:41,960 --> 01:02:44,880
Speaker 12: out of a day, but it's such a nice honor,

1361
01:02:45,040 --> 01:02:47,920
Speaker 12: and which is kind of it's just a backhanded honor

1362
01:02:47,920 --> 01:02:49,480
Speaker 12: because like it kind of stinks if they do end

1363
01:02:49,520 --> 01:02:49,960
Speaker 12: up leaving.

1364
01:02:50,320 --> 01:02:53,080
Speaker 9: But you know, it's one of those things where it.

1365
01:02:53,440 --> 01:02:56,080
Speaker 12: Kind of brings even more recognition to the great job

1366
01:02:56,120 --> 01:02:58,479
Speaker 12: that they've done, which in turn makes the players feel

1367
01:02:58,480 --> 01:03:00,280
Speaker 12: more special and in turn, you know, I think just

1368
01:03:00,280 --> 01:03:02,560
Speaker 12: so many more positive things that happened from it than

1369
01:03:02,560 --> 01:03:03,440
Speaker 12: the negative ones.

1370
01:03:04,200 --> 01:03:06,320
Speaker 9: So I just think that the good outweighs the bad.

1371
01:03:06,760 --> 01:03:10,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, Cynthia Dan Campbell. You just talked about

1372
01:03:10,680 --> 01:03:12,680
Speaker 2: how great of a head coach he is. He has

1373
01:03:12,720 --> 01:03:15,360
Speaker 2: turned this Lions team around in just a few years

1374
01:03:15,360 --> 01:03:18,320
Speaker 2: and has created a culture that everyone has really bought into.

1375
01:03:18,360 --> 01:03:21,520
Speaker 2: You can see it on the field just through the TV.

1376
01:03:21,680 --> 01:03:23,560
Speaker 2: We see it in the hype videos that are posted

1377
01:03:23,600 --> 01:03:25,800
Speaker 2: after the games. What's going to be the key for

1378
01:03:25,840 --> 01:03:29,000
Speaker 2: the Lions to make it to the NFC Championship Game.

1379
01:03:30,000 --> 01:03:32,160
Speaker 12: Well, of course the offense needs to stay sure, but

1380
01:03:32,480 --> 01:03:34,400
Speaker 12: we've seen some weird things from the defense. I mean,

1381
01:03:34,520 --> 01:03:37,320
Speaker 12: rams fans will not this specifically, there was so many

1382
01:03:37,440 --> 01:03:39,680
Speaker 12: yards after the cash in last week's game.

1383
01:03:39,960 --> 01:03:41,040
Speaker 9: You saw the deep pass.

1384
01:03:41,080 --> 01:03:43,880
Speaker 12: You saw a ton of those, like sixteen plus passes

1385
01:03:43,920 --> 01:03:44,600
Speaker 12: throughout the season.

1386
01:03:44,640 --> 01:03:46,320
Speaker 9: In fact, the Lions gave.

1387
01:03:46,200 --> 01:03:48,560
Speaker 12: Up the most at one hundred and three, So explosive

1388
01:03:48,640 --> 01:03:51,960
Speaker 12: passes were a problem for the Lions defense. We know

1389
01:03:52,040 --> 01:03:54,600
Speaker 12: that Baker Mayfield can tote the rock. We know that

1390
01:03:54,880 --> 01:03:56,640
Speaker 12: Mike Evans knows how to find the end zone.

1391
01:03:56,640 --> 01:03:59,240
Speaker 9: We saw Chris Godwinwick. You know what's going to happen,

1392
01:03:59,440 --> 01:04:00,760
Speaker 9: and I'm curios is to see CG.

1393
01:04:00,840 --> 01:04:03,760
Speaker 12: Gardner Johnson, who obviously didn't plan that first matchup, if

1394
01:04:03,760 --> 01:04:06,560
Speaker 12: he can help nullify some of the things that have

1395
01:04:06,640 --> 01:04:09,760
Speaker 12: been the real thorn in the side of that Lion's defense,

1396
01:04:09,800 --> 01:04:12,200
Speaker 12: because this is not a defense that they thought would

1397
01:04:12,240 --> 01:04:15,280
Speaker 12: necessarily be ready to be this big time this fest.

1398
01:04:15,320 --> 01:04:18,960
Speaker 12: Perhaps they're on track faster than expected. But look like

1399
01:04:19,040 --> 01:04:21,439
Speaker 12: at the end of the day, you are where you are,

1400
01:04:21,440 --> 01:04:24,360
Speaker 12: and you got to you got to kind of minimize

1401
01:04:24,360 --> 01:04:26,200
Speaker 12: your flaws and maximize your strength.

1402
01:04:26,960 --> 01:04:28,920
Speaker 2: All right, Cynthia, before we let you go, you're the

1403
01:04:29,000 --> 01:04:33,680
Speaker 2: numbers woman, right, this is your strength. What is the

1404
01:04:33,760 --> 01:04:37,600
Speaker 2: final score? What are you predicting the final score of

1405
01:04:37,640 --> 01:04:38,160
Speaker 2: this game?

1406
01:04:39,000 --> 01:04:41,760
Speaker 12: I mean, I hate saying it because it freaks me out,

1407
01:04:41,840 --> 01:04:44,360
Speaker 12: but I have a four point win for the Lions.

1408
01:04:44,400 --> 01:04:47,120
Speaker 12: I think it's going to be right, Yeah, between fifty

1409
01:04:47,120 --> 01:04:49,880
Speaker 12: and fifty three points. So if that tells you kind

1410
01:04:49,880 --> 01:04:51,760
Speaker 12: of anything, and I have a four point win in favor,

1411
01:04:52,080 --> 01:04:53,800
Speaker 12: I kind of can't believe. Again, I do all my

1412
01:04:53,880 --> 01:04:56,200
Speaker 12: mass blind so I can talk about it. I feel

1413
01:04:56,200 --> 01:04:58,600
Speaker 12: like I'm like very dissociated for it because you know,

1414
01:04:58,600 --> 01:04:59,040
Speaker 12: I got to.

1415
01:04:58,960 --> 01:04:59,640
Speaker 4: Take a heart out of it.

1416
01:05:00,080 --> 01:05:02,000
Speaker 9: I don't know what it is. Yeah, it comes out

1417
01:05:02,040 --> 01:05:04,120
Speaker 9: one way or the other. So you know, I have

1418
01:05:04,160 --> 01:05:05,520
Speaker 9: a four pointment for the Lions.

1419
01:05:05,800 --> 01:05:09,960
Speaker 12: Yeah, this is the best quote unquote weather of the

1420
01:05:10,000 --> 01:05:13,720
Speaker 12: game because despite it being terrible outside here, you know,

1421
01:05:13,920 --> 01:05:16,680
Speaker 12: we it's I thought maybe Santa Clara would give us

1422
01:05:16,680 --> 01:05:18,520
Speaker 12: a run for our money, but you know, they looks

1423
01:05:18,560 --> 01:05:21,240
Speaker 12: like they're having rain there today, so I'm thinking, you know, look,

1424
01:05:21,360 --> 01:05:23,240
Speaker 12: the most favorable conditions indoor.

1425
01:05:23,040 --> 01:05:25,800
Speaker 10: Cat Yes, Jared Goff right there, also.

1426
01:05:25,640 --> 01:05:27,600
Speaker 4: Me, Cynthia.

1427
01:05:27,800 --> 01:05:30,920
Speaker 2: Thank you, I love you. Have the best time tomorrow

1428
01:05:31,040 --> 01:05:32,960
Speaker 2: and bring home a Lions win, will you.

1429
01:05:33,240 --> 01:05:35,720
Speaker 12: Oh, dear God, I hope though your your mouth to

1430
01:05:35,880 --> 01:05:39,040
Speaker 12: whoever decide things Earth, thank you so much for having me.

1431
01:05:39,080 --> 01:05:40,680
Speaker 9: Love you guys, love you bye. Thanks.

1432
01:05:40,760 --> 01:05:42,800
Speaker 4: All right, now, let's check in with Martin Weiss and

1433
01:05:42,840 --> 01:05:44,240
Speaker 4: see what's trending.

1434
01:05:46,480 --> 01:05:46,919
Speaker 7: Right now.

1435
01:05:46,960 --> 01:05:49,320
Speaker 13: The Baltimore Ravens just got well, I don't know if

1436
01:05:49,320 --> 01:05:51,280
Speaker 13: it was a sac or or rushing attempt for no yards,

1437
01:05:51,280 --> 01:05:54,160
Speaker 13: but Lamar Jackson took a tackle after breaking three of them.

1438
01:05:54,360 --> 01:05:56,919
Speaker 13: They'll be punting now. They lead ten to three over

1439
01:05:57,000 --> 01:06:00,200
Speaker 13: the Texans with five minutes fifteen seconds left in this

1440
01:06:00,280 --> 01:06:04,120
Speaker 13: second quarter. Lamar with one hundred and two total yards

1441
01:06:04,680 --> 01:06:07,000
Speaker 13: fifty two through the year, seven for nine, passing one

1442
01:06:07,040 --> 01:06:10,200
Speaker 13: touchdown on Nelson Aglar who didn't drop it and six

1443
01:06:10,280 --> 01:06:12,400
Speaker 13: carries for fifty yards. I'll think about that video every

1444
01:06:12,440 --> 01:06:16,600
Speaker 13: time I see Nelson Aclet make a flood. It's his bad, mom,

1445
01:06:16,800 --> 01:06:18,919
Speaker 13: it's his fault. As the Texans are returning this point,

1446
01:06:18,960 --> 01:06:21,080
Speaker 13: this is gonna be a touchdown right here live only

1447
01:06:21,120 --> 01:06:22,160
Speaker 13: in the middle of the updates.

1448
01:06:22,160 --> 01:06:23,920
Speaker 7: You gotta love that, right Monci? All right?

1449
01:06:23,920 --> 01:06:27,840
Speaker 13: Now tied score, extra point pending, I should say, as

1450
01:06:27,840 --> 01:06:30,800
Speaker 13: the Texans return a sixty seven yard punt return for

1451
01:06:30,840 --> 01:06:34,360
Speaker 13: a touchdown. Steven Simms the punt return to for Houston.

1452
01:06:34,600 --> 01:06:37,680
Speaker 13: They're pumped on the sideline. Extra point pending again. Second quarter,

1453
01:06:37,760 --> 01:06:41,560
Speaker 13: four to seventeen left and update, that's fair Barn attempts

1454
01:06:41,560 --> 01:06:43,320
Speaker 13: to the extra porter. Maybe they go for two, who knows.

1455
01:06:43,520 --> 01:06:46,320
Speaker 13: I'm just doing this update live. Running back Dalvin Cook,

1456
01:06:46,320 --> 01:06:49,040
Speaker 13: he's active for Baltimore. Hasn't got a carry yet. Tight

1457
01:06:49,120 --> 01:06:53,320
Speaker 13: end Mark Andrews. Marlon Humphries cornerback, not active tomorrow. Kadarius

Speaker 13: Tony for the wide for the Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver.

1459
01:06:56,000 --> 01:07:00,480
Speaker 13: He is inactive as well. Against the Bills and coaching

1460
01:07:00,560 --> 01:07:03,680
Speaker 13: carousel World, everybody's interviewing for the Chargers. You guys just

1461
01:07:03,720 --> 01:07:06,919
Speaker 13: talked about it with Cynthia Freeland, Lions fan, but both

1462
01:07:06,920 --> 01:07:09,800
Speaker 13: of her coordinators are Ben Johnson offensive and Aaron Glenn

1463
01:07:09,840 --> 01:07:13,160
Speaker 13: defensive interviewing for the Chargers. Ben Johnson also with the

1464
01:07:13,200 --> 01:07:16,040
Speaker 13: Falcons and the Seahawks, Aaron Glenn with the Commanders as well.

1465
01:07:16,040 --> 01:07:19,400
Speaker 13: In Rams defensive quarter coordinator Raheem Morris interviewing for the

1466
01:07:19,480 --> 01:07:22,720
Speaker 13: Chargers head coaching job too. Bike McCarthy not interviewing. He's

1467
01:07:22,720 --> 01:07:25,200
Speaker 13: gonna keep his job, but Gary Jones not extending his

1468
01:07:25,280 --> 01:07:28,120
Speaker 13: contract either past twenty twenty four. He says he wants

1469
01:07:28,120 --> 01:07:31,800
Speaker 13: to see more results. CBS reports CBS Sports is reporting

1470
01:07:31,800 --> 01:07:34,640
Speaker 13: that the Atlanta owner, Arthur Blank, desperately wants to hire

1471
01:07:34,680 --> 01:07:37,920
Speaker 13: former Patriots head coach Bill Belichick that run the Falcons,

1472
01:07:38,120 --> 01:07:40,880
Speaker 13: saying Belichick will get the job if he wants it.

1473
01:07:41,120 --> 01:07:42,680
Speaker 7: That extra point was good.

1474
01:07:42,400 --> 01:07:44,720
Speaker 13: By the way Kenymie fairbarn Bank did in ten to

1475
01:07:44,760 --> 01:07:48,520
Speaker 13: ten Forrest eventeen left in the second quarter and looks

1476
01:07:48,560 --> 01:07:50,560
Speaker 13: like the Pistons are gonna go ahead and lose this game.

1477
01:07:50,600 --> 01:07:53,360
Speaker 13: So I don't think anyone concert before the concert before

1478
01:07:53,360 --> 01:07:53,600
Speaker 13: the game.

1479
01:07:53,800 --> 01:07:55,800
Speaker 4: Contact time, no contact guy.

1480
01:07:56,160 --> 01:07:58,440
Speaker 7: It was a little look good for a minute for.

1481
01:07:58,520 --> 01:08:02,600
Speaker 13: A minute, but in Dame right now, the Milwaukee Bucks

1482
01:08:02,640 --> 01:08:04,880
Speaker 13: with a one thirty eight to one thirty two twenty

1483
01:08:04,920 --> 01:08:07,720
Speaker 13: seconds left in the fourth Quarterback to you guys.

1484
01:08:07,720 --> 01:08:08,320
Speaker 4: Thank you Martin.

1485
01:08:08,360 --> 01:08:10,560
Speaker 2: You're listening to Fox Sports Saturday am. Alex Curry here

1486
01:08:10,560 --> 01:08:13,120
Speaker 2: with Moncey Bolanios. We are broadcasting live from the Tyrek

1487
01:08:13,160 --> 01:08:16,400
Speaker 2: dot Com studios in Los Angeles. Thank you for spending

1488
01:08:16,439 --> 01:08:19,880
Speaker 2: your Saturday afternoon with Monsey and me. Now we're gonna

1489
01:08:19,920 --> 01:08:24,320
Speaker 2: have some fun with the remaining quarterbacks in the playoffs

1490
01:08:24,320 --> 01:08:28,559
Speaker 2: by ranking the quarterbacks that are left in the divisional round. Now,

1491
01:08:28,600 --> 01:08:31,759
Speaker 2: remember seven of the eight we're all first round picks,

1492
01:08:31,840 --> 01:08:35,719
Speaker 2: so Brock Purty obviously being the only one not taken

1493
01:08:36,200 --> 01:08:39,120
Speaker 2: in the first round as many used to call him,

1494
01:08:39,160 --> 01:08:43,000
Speaker 2: mister Irrelevant, the very last pick in the draft.

1495
01:08:43,160 --> 01:08:46,360
Speaker 4: So we're gonna rank one through eight. But it is

1496
01:08:46,560 --> 01:08:47,440
Speaker 4: very important.

1497
01:08:47,960 --> 01:08:51,200
Speaker 2: We are doing these rankings based on this season, right,

1498
01:08:52,200 --> 01:08:54,880
Speaker 2: this regular season, not overall.

1499
01:08:55,240 --> 01:08:57,320
Speaker 4: It is not overall. That is very crucial.

1500
01:08:57,520 --> 01:09:01,080
Speaker 3: Yes, two round playoffs, just not play regular.

1501
01:09:01,080 --> 01:09:05,559
Speaker 2: Season, yeah right here, Yes, this season. Yes, we're gonna

1502
01:09:05,560 --> 01:09:08,240
Speaker 2: go back and forth. We're gonna go one through eight, Okay,

1503
01:09:08,240 --> 01:09:09,880
Speaker 2: which is weird. You don't normally start at the top,

1504
01:09:09,880 --> 01:09:10,760
Speaker 2: but we're gonna start at the top.

1505
01:09:10,800 --> 01:09:11,280
Speaker 3: You're at the top.

1506
01:09:11,320 --> 01:09:14,479
Speaker 4: Okay. My number one is playing right now.

1507
01:09:14,840 --> 01:09:17,959
Speaker 2: Lamar Jackson, ten and one in his last eleven games,

1508
01:09:18,280 --> 01:09:21,400
Speaker 2: is gonna be the MVP. This has been his season

1509
01:09:21,640 --> 01:09:24,040
Speaker 2: and his moment to make it all the way.

1510
01:09:23,880 --> 01:09:24,960
Speaker 4: To the Super Bowl.

1511
01:09:25,560 --> 01:09:28,240
Speaker 2: If he can win this game, which it's currently tied

1512
01:09:28,720 --> 01:09:30,400
Speaker 2: right now in the second quarter.

1513
01:09:31,240 --> 01:09:33,559
Speaker 4: He knows what's at stake. He talked about it.

1514
01:09:33,600 --> 01:09:35,479
Speaker 2: He knows he's not getting any younger, and this is

1515
01:09:35,520 --> 01:09:39,000
Speaker 2: his time to win a championship. If he's going to

1516
01:09:39,080 --> 01:09:41,240
Speaker 2: do that. We played that sound early. I read that

1517
01:09:41,320 --> 01:09:45,240
Speaker 2: quote earlier. So yeah, I have Lamar Jackson at number one.

1518
01:09:45,360 --> 01:09:48,320
Speaker 3: My number one for the season is Josh Allen, who

1519
01:09:48,439 --> 01:09:52,120
Speaker 3: led the Bills to end the season. Didn't I change

1520
01:09:52,160 --> 01:09:52,559
Speaker 3: my mind?

1521
01:09:53,080 --> 01:09:55,679
Speaker 2: Beginning of the season. I was liaeving about Josh Allen.

1522
01:09:55,760 --> 01:09:56,920
Speaker 2: You're like, no way.

1523
01:09:56,920 --> 01:09:57,720
Speaker 4: No way, man.

1524
01:09:57,840 --> 01:10:01,479
Speaker 3: I gotta give him credit, like commanding went over the

1525
01:10:01,520 --> 01:10:04,439
Speaker 3: Cowboys towards the end winning the division, when at the

1526
01:10:04,479 --> 01:10:05,880
Speaker 3: beginning I was like, I don't even know if they're

1527
01:10:05,880 --> 01:10:08,000
Speaker 3: gona make the playoffs. There were six and six. I

1528
01:10:08,200 --> 01:10:11,759
Speaker 3: just cannot believe that they pulled this off without Stefan

1529
01:10:11,800 --> 01:10:14,680
Speaker 3: Diggs being the stud that we all expected him to be.

1530
01:10:15,000 --> 01:10:18,040
Speaker 3: Josh Allen threw for four three hundred and six yards,

1531
01:10:18,200 --> 01:10:20,600
Speaker 3: fourth most in the NFL for the season. He produced

1532
01:10:20,680 --> 01:10:23,720
Speaker 3: a league leading forty four touchdowns, including twenty nine in

1533
01:10:23,800 --> 01:10:26,479
Speaker 3: the air fifteen on the ground, which is a record

1534
01:10:26,560 --> 01:10:30,439
Speaker 3: time for a rushing for rushing touchdowns by a quarterback. Obviously,

1535
01:10:30,479 --> 01:10:33,120
Speaker 3: there were eighteen interceptions. We can't forget that. But I

1536
01:10:33,280 --> 01:10:35,120
Speaker 3: to me, Josh Allen what he did in the later

1537
01:10:35,200 --> 01:10:37,759
Speaker 3: half of the season, I'm just like, wow, was I wrong?

1538
01:10:38,000 --> 01:10:38,320
Speaker 4: Yeah?

1539
01:10:38,360 --> 01:10:41,240
Speaker 3: So Josh Allen, you go, yeah, yeah.

1540
01:10:41,040 --> 01:10:44,599
Speaker 2: Okay, on to number two new mad Noads. Brock Perty

1541
01:10:45,000 --> 01:10:50,760
Speaker 2: right for me. He was also an MBV m VTB

1542
01:10:52,000 --> 01:10:57,160
Speaker 2: favorite this whole season. He's was top five in all

1543
01:10:57,240 --> 01:10:59,200
Speaker 2: of the big quarterback stats.

1544
01:10:59,320 --> 01:11:01,160
Speaker 4: He has been lights out.

1545
01:11:01,560 --> 01:11:05,320
Speaker 2: This is also his time to shine improve all of

1546
01:11:05,360 --> 01:11:08,559
Speaker 2: the haters wrong in the postseason. But I mean, he

1547
01:11:08,680 --> 01:11:11,479
Speaker 2: has all the weapons he had during the regular season,

1548
01:11:11,479 --> 01:11:13,400
Speaker 2: all the weapons to succeed, and he has them all

1549
01:11:13,439 --> 01:11:18,000
Speaker 2: here in the postseason with McCaffrey, Samuels Ayuke, So brock

1550
01:11:18,040 --> 01:11:19,439
Speaker 2: Perty just needs to keep it rolling.

1551
01:11:19,520 --> 01:11:20,840
Speaker 4: But yeah, he's my number two.

1552
01:11:21,040 --> 01:11:24,840
Speaker 3: My number two is c J. Stroud right now, most

1553
01:11:24,920 --> 01:11:28,160
Speaker 3: passes without an interception for a rookie. He had great

1554
01:11:28,280 --> 01:11:31,000
Speaker 3: comeback drives this year, like in Week nine against the Bucks,

1555
01:11:31,040 --> 01:11:34,559
Speaker 3: he threw five touchdown passes, a rookie record four hundred

1556
01:11:34,600 --> 01:11:37,479
Speaker 3: and seventy passing yards. He also had a game winning

1557
01:11:37,560 --> 01:11:41,000
Speaker 3: drive with forty six seconds remaining to beat the Buccaneers.

1558
01:11:41,080 --> 01:11:42,840
Speaker 3: Or that was the same. That was a thirty nine

1559
01:11:42,920 --> 01:11:45,400
Speaker 3: thirty seven was the final forty six seconds left? Then

1560
01:11:45,439 --> 01:11:48,479
Speaker 3: he did again against the Bengals. He set up for

1561
01:11:48,520 --> 01:11:50,240
Speaker 3: them to win it off with the field goal had

1562
01:11:50,240 --> 01:11:54,040
Speaker 3: over a minute to go. Imagine if he was if

1563
01:11:54,080 --> 01:11:56,320
Speaker 3: he didn't miss two weeks with a concussion. Yeah, like

1564
01:11:56,400 --> 01:11:59,280
Speaker 3: what because he was also an MVP conversation people didn't

1565
01:11:59,280 --> 01:12:01,760
Speaker 3: want him to because he was rookie either, are like no, no, no, no, no.

1566
01:12:02,080 --> 01:12:05,320
Speaker 3: Imagine if he would not have suffered that concussion in

1567
01:12:05,360 --> 01:12:05,960
Speaker 3: missed two weeks.

1568
01:12:06,040 --> 01:12:06,280
Speaker 16: Yeah.

1569
01:12:06,479 --> 01:12:07,880
Speaker 3: CJ. Strout is a baller.

1570
01:12:08,000 --> 01:12:10,240
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, ball in all right?

1571
01:12:11,360 --> 01:12:16,000
Speaker 2: Number three, No Miro tris Josh Allen put this team

1572
01:12:16,040 --> 01:12:18,480
Speaker 2: on his back and carried the Bills to the postseason.

1573
01:12:18,520 --> 01:12:19,479
Speaker 4: They've won six.

1574
01:12:19,360 --> 01:12:23,760
Speaker 2: Straight he's having a better season than Mahomes, which I

1575
01:12:23,800 --> 01:12:26,920
Speaker 2: don't know if he's been able to say throughout his career,

1576
01:12:28,240 --> 01:12:30,439
Speaker 2: but he hasn't beat him yet in the postseason, which

1577
01:12:30,479 --> 01:12:34,480
Speaker 2: is why, like, this is his time to shine tomorrow.

1578
01:12:34,640 --> 01:12:37,640
Speaker 2: He has the opportunity of a lifetime against the struggling

1579
01:12:38,040 --> 01:12:41,679
Speaker 2: Chiefs team. So, Josh Allen, just like, way to turn

1580
01:12:41,720 --> 01:12:44,479
Speaker 2: your season around. He's at number three. Who's your number three?

1581
01:12:44,600 --> 01:12:48,479
Speaker 3: Patrick Mahomes. Okay, Patrick Mahomes. This has been the hardest

1582
01:12:48,560 --> 01:12:51,280
Speaker 3: year for the best quarterback. Yeah in the NFL, he's

1583
01:12:51,320 --> 01:12:53,320
Speaker 3: the best quarterback, like, no no questions.

1584
01:12:53,360 --> 01:12:53,519
Speaker 12: Yeah.

1585
01:12:53,600 --> 01:12:56,559
Speaker 3: Yeah, we saw him get emotional for the first time.

1586
01:12:56,840 --> 01:12:59,720
Speaker 3: He was pushed in ways we have never seen and

1587
01:12:59,760 --> 01:13:03,920
Speaker 3: we heard it all season, the most dropped passes by

1588
01:13:03,960 --> 01:13:06,559
Speaker 3: a team. How many of those did we see? This

1589
01:13:06,600 --> 01:13:09,040
Speaker 3: poor guy? In spite of all that, he still led

1590
01:13:09,080 --> 01:13:10,120
Speaker 3: his team to win the division.

1591
01:13:10,240 --> 01:13:10,479
Speaker 4: Yeah.

1592
01:13:10,520 --> 01:13:12,760
Speaker 3: Five out of the six games that they lost won

1593
01:13:12,800 --> 01:13:13,360
Speaker 3: score games.

1594
01:13:13,439 --> 01:13:14,839
Speaker 4: Yeah, Patrick Mahomes.

1595
01:13:15,040 --> 01:13:18,679
Speaker 2: Yeah, Well he's my number four, all right, Patrick Mahomes. Now,

1596
01:13:18,800 --> 01:13:21,200
Speaker 2: he may be having the worst season of his career,

1597
01:13:21,240 --> 01:13:25,160
Speaker 2: but he is the best quarterback in the league talent wise.

1598
01:13:25,960 --> 01:13:27,760
Speaker 2: He always shows up in the biggest moments in the

1599
01:13:27,760 --> 01:13:29,880
Speaker 2: biggest games, which is why he needs to be in

1600
01:13:29,920 --> 01:13:34,280
Speaker 2: my top four. He's also the only one with Super

1601
01:13:34,320 --> 01:13:35,559
Speaker 2: Bowl wins in this group.

1602
01:13:35,640 --> 01:13:35,840
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1603
01:13:36,000 --> 01:13:37,920
Speaker 4: Two, he's still mahomie. Just like.

1604
01:13:39,439 --> 01:13:41,679
Speaker 2: Wasn't a great season that with not a great season,

1605
01:13:41,720 --> 01:13:43,040
Speaker 2: he's still one of the best.

1606
01:13:43,120 --> 01:13:46,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, for sure, he's your four. No Midoquetrol Lamar Jackson.

1607
01:13:46,280 --> 01:13:47,800
Speaker 4: Okay, you've said it.

1608
01:13:48,000 --> 01:13:50,400
Speaker 3: You remember how you ended the season versus how you

1609
01:13:50,439 --> 01:13:53,640
Speaker 3: start the season, and you cannot, you know, eliminate that

1610
01:13:53,720 --> 01:13:57,840
Speaker 3: forty nine ers beat down, that his team had five interceptions.

1611
01:13:58,439 --> 01:14:01,559
Speaker 3: Then he went on to throw five touchdowns against Miami.

1612
01:14:02,000 --> 01:14:03,960
Speaker 3: He's thrown the ball better this year than he has

1613
01:14:04,000 --> 01:14:06,840
Speaker 3: in the past. Losing his favorite target, it didn't matter.

1614
01:14:06,880 --> 01:14:10,040
Speaker 3: I'm talking about Mark Andrews. He's still his team won

1615
01:14:10,080 --> 01:14:15,080
Speaker 3: the AFC. He's about to win his second MVP, I mean, Lamar.

1616
01:14:15,000 --> 01:14:17,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, Okay, we're gonna go pretty quickly through go for

1617
01:14:17,640 --> 01:14:19,519
Speaker 4: these next ones. Number five is C. J.

1618
01:14:19,600 --> 01:14:21,760
Speaker 2: Stroud for me, Rookie of the Year, first rookie ever

1619
01:14:21,880 --> 01:14:25,320
Speaker 2: to lead the NFL in passing yards per game, youngest

1620
01:14:25,479 --> 01:14:28,800
Speaker 2: quarterback to ever win a playoff game. He exceeded all

1621
01:14:28,920 --> 01:14:31,080
Speaker 2: expectations this year, and it feels like it's just the beginning.

1622
01:14:31,160 --> 01:14:34,600
Speaker 3: Number five, Brock Party So what if he's a system quarterback.

1623
01:14:34,680 --> 01:14:38,040
Speaker 3: It's working, Why would you change it if it's working?

1624
01:14:39,520 --> 01:14:39,680
Speaker 12: Right?

1625
01:14:39,720 --> 01:14:41,439
Speaker 4: No, I I've just got had.

1626
01:14:41,360 --> 01:14:42,760
Speaker 3: To give him, Josh Allen all the crowd in the

1627
01:14:42,760 --> 01:14:45,200
Speaker 3: world because I was talking smack, you know, I was saying,

1628
01:14:45,560 --> 01:14:48,080
Speaker 3: but yeah, Brock Party, like threw for over three hundred

1629
01:14:48,160 --> 01:14:50,559
Speaker 3: yards in five games this season, and it's he's he's

1630
01:14:50,600 --> 01:14:52,400
Speaker 3: it's his first year as a starter. Yeah, you know,

1631
01:14:52,880 --> 01:14:54,800
Speaker 3: five games this season with over three hundred yards.

1632
01:14:54,800 --> 01:14:55,040
Speaker 9: All right.

1633
01:14:55,160 --> 01:14:58,800
Speaker 2: Number six Jordan Love also an incredible first season at

1634
01:14:58,840 --> 01:15:02,240
Speaker 2: starting quarterback. He had all those a perfect passer rating

1635
01:15:02,280 --> 01:15:06,080
Speaker 2: in his first playoff game against the Cowboys last weekend

1636
01:15:06,240 --> 01:15:08,400
Speaker 2: at one fifty seven point two. He had the highest

1637
01:15:08,400 --> 01:15:11,799
Speaker 2: passer rating in a road playoff game in NFL history.

1638
01:15:12,160 --> 01:15:13,200
Speaker 4: Quarter I Love at number.

1639
01:15:13,000 --> 01:15:15,519
Speaker 3: Six quarter back for me, number six, Jared Goff. I

1640
01:15:15,560 --> 01:15:16,880
Speaker 3: give him a lot of credit because I think a

1641
01:15:16,920 --> 01:15:18,880
Speaker 3: lot of people went like he went to Detroit. People

1642
01:15:18,880 --> 01:15:20,360
Speaker 3: are like, he's gonna go there and just kind of

1643
01:15:20,400 --> 01:15:23,559
Speaker 3: like just be, just be exactly and eventually, you know,

1644
01:15:24,040 --> 01:15:26,000
Speaker 3: be out of the NFL. Or not be a starting

1645
01:15:26,080 --> 01:15:28,519
Speaker 3: quarterback anymore. There were up and down games kind of

1646
01:15:28,560 --> 01:15:30,759
Speaker 3: like towards the end. But I think he has really

1647
01:15:30,880 --> 01:15:34,120
Speaker 3: led Detroit along with Dan Campbell to what they're doing now.

1648
01:15:34,479 --> 01:15:36,160
Speaker 3: And he has I know we're thinking just for the

1649
01:15:36,160 --> 01:15:38,200
Speaker 3: regular season, but he does have experience, you know in

1650
01:15:38,200 --> 01:15:38,719
Speaker 3: the postseason.

1651
01:15:38,800 --> 01:15:40,200
Speaker 4: Yes, man, who is super Bowl exactly?

1652
01:15:40,200 --> 01:15:40,439
Speaker 7: Okay?

1653
01:15:40,520 --> 01:15:42,920
Speaker 2: He is at my number seven all the reasons you

1654
01:15:42,960 --> 01:15:44,120
Speaker 2: just mentioned. Who's your number seven?

1655
01:15:44,240 --> 01:15:46,640
Speaker 3: Jordan Love, Jordan Love, And it's kind of everything you

1656
01:15:46,760 --> 01:15:49,439
Speaker 3: just said. It's it's just that we saw week one.

1657
01:15:49,640 --> 01:15:51,800
Speaker 3: I picked up Jordan Love for my fantasy and then

1658
01:15:51,800 --> 01:15:53,599
Speaker 3: he went down and then he went back up. You go,

1659
01:15:53,680 --> 01:15:55,000
Speaker 3: Jordan Love, You go, Jordan Love.

1660
01:15:55,040 --> 01:15:56,400
Speaker 4: So we both have Baker Mayfield AD eight.

1661
01:15:56,560 --> 01:15:59,879
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, Okay, this season problem this year got revamped

1662
01:15:59,880 --> 01:16:01,960
Speaker 2: in in LA with the Rams, but it looks like

1663
01:16:02,000 --> 01:16:04,760
Speaker 2: he found his home in Tampa. Baker Mayfield, all right,

1664
01:16:04,800 --> 01:16:06,200
Speaker 2: we're gonna take one more break here, but when we

01:20:00,280 --> 01:20:03,800
Speaker 2: I picked the Bills on the herd yesterday, so I

1748
01:20:03,880 --> 01:20:07,360
Speaker 2: am rolling with it, even though I get schooled or

1749
01:20:07,360 --> 01:20:10,240
Speaker 2: slapped in the face anytime I pick against Patrick Mahomes.

1750
