You know what time it is. It's that 16 00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:55,520 Speaker 1: time of the night, Sunday night. Mitchell Mitchell, Mitchell over 17 00:00:55,640 --> 00:01:01,640 Speaker 1: time eight. What is that eighty four yard bro? Josh 18 00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:04,920 Speaker 1: Jacobs taking over rich The folks that are happy in 19 00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:08,320 Speaker 1: Seattle are the Josh Jacob Fantasy football owners. And that's 20 00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:11,440 Speaker 1: probably about it. Man, I mean, holy cow, he ran 21 00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:15,840 Speaker 1: all over the Seahawks. Rich. This was a crucial game 22 00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:18,560 Speaker 1: for the Hawks and they lost it to uh A, 23 00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:22,600 Speaker 1: Now four and seven Las Vegas Raiders. Your thoughts, man, 24 00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:25,640 Speaker 1: let's just kick it off right from here. Well, the 25 00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:28,720 Speaker 1: sky was falling front of Las Vegas Raiders and they 26 00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:32,040 Speaker 1: just thought the team obviously hasn't quit, they haven't given up. Seattle. 27 00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:34,520 Speaker 1: Uh you know was never in control of this game? 28 00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:36,480 Speaker 1: Is the back and forth game the whole game. In 29 00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:41,440 Speaker 1: the defense, it seemed they made a stop on Jacobs 30 00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:45,720 Speaker 1: and regulation shouldn't he fumbled the football? Um? The referees 31 00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:48,400 Speaker 1: determined that forward progress was stopped. That was a huge 32 00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:51,200 Speaker 1: play in the ball game. Both teams made huge plays, 33 00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:54,240 Speaker 1: but none bigger than that run. And I gotta see 34 00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:56,240 Speaker 1: the tape, but I don't know what the heck happened, 35 00:01:56,280 --> 00:02:00,000 Speaker 1: but Josh Jacobs three hundred and three yards from scrimmage? 36 00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:05,600 Speaker 1: Like what three? You underdine? Three? The Raiders decided defensive 37 00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:09,040 Speaker 1: line decided to just be beast the whole game and 38 00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:11,680 Speaker 1: dominate the run game and not allow your boy Kenneth 39 00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:14,920 Speaker 1: Walker outside of the one touchdown to really sniff anything. 40 00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:17,280 Speaker 1: It was really it was really an outstanding game. And 41 00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:20,760 Speaker 1: I mean, you know you still got solid played from Gino. Um, 42 00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:22,720 Speaker 1: so it wasn't like, you know, he just played a 43 00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:26,919 Speaker 1: terrible game. He threw for two touchdowns, he threw one interception, 44 00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:30,000 Speaker 1: could have been two interceptions. But you know you think, 45 00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:32,000 Speaker 1: I think when you throw twenty seven for thirty seven 46 00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:35,600 Speaker 1: two touchdowns, you think here winning that game. Um dk 47 00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:39,840 Speaker 1: metcalfe Levin receptions for ninety yards, Quandre two picks in 48 00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:42,280 Speaker 1: the first quarter. You would think you win that game. 49 00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:47,000 Speaker 1: But my goodness, the time of possession was was very 50 00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:50,040 Speaker 1: slanted and that seemed to be I mean they warmed down, 51 00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:53,079 Speaker 1: they sure did. I mean Josh Jacobs, this was a 52 00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:57,000 Speaker 1: guy that the Raiders organization seemingly wrote off heading into 53 00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:59,440 Speaker 1: this year. They didn't exercise the fifth year option on 54 00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:02,120 Speaker 1: his rookie deal. Rich. I mean, this was his prov 55 00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:05,040 Speaker 1: it season and he is he is proving it. I Mean, 56 00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:08,480 Speaker 1: the Raiders, let's be real here. They're there four and seven, 57 00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:10,440 Speaker 1: but they're probably a little bit better than their record. 58 00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:12,720 Speaker 1: I'm sure teams aren't lining up to play the Raiders. 59 00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:15,680 Speaker 1: They got some talented players on their roster and and 60 00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:18,119 Speaker 1: they hung with and ultimately beat the Hawks. But where 61 00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:20,000 Speaker 1: did the Hawks go from here? They're in a they're 62 00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:23,480 Speaker 1: in a tight division battle against the red hot forty Niners. 63 00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:26,080 Speaker 1: We'll get to them next. But what did the Seattle 64 00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:28,520 Speaker 1: Seahawks need to do to write this ship? They bet 65 00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:30,600 Speaker 1: and they better find a way to beat the Rams. 66 00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:33,000 Speaker 1: I'm not sure if if mass Stafford is gonna play 67 00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:35,080 Speaker 1: next week or if Perkins is gonna play again, but 68 00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:37,320 Speaker 1: they have to. That's to have to have a game, 69 00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:39,960 Speaker 1: you know, or it's gonna be a very difficult for 70 00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:41,840 Speaker 1: them to make the playoffs. You know, you've got teams 71 00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:45,360 Speaker 1: like the Washington Commanders. I ain't a key, I nic key. 72 00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:48,080 Speaker 1: They believe in him. Ron Rivera said, I don't know 73 00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:50,680 Speaker 1: what's going on. I don't know about the analytics, but 74 00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:53,600 Speaker 1: this team plays better when he's at quarterback. And that's 75 00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:55,640 Speaker 1: the truth. You can see that some things you just 76 00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:57,960 Speaker 1: can't measure, and that's one of them. So the Seahawks 77 00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:00,320 Speaker 1: better get it together. Are they gonna find him? Sells 78 00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:04,240 Speaker 1: with with a very good you know what I mean 79 00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:08,840 Speaker 1: season compared to what expectations were, but a missed opportunity. 80 00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:11,560 Speaker 1: Let's stick in the NFC West, I mean we've seen 81 00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:15,839 Speaker 1: the San Francisco. San Francisco forty Niners dominative late. Their 82 00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:18,440 Speaker 1: offense was a little off, but their defense has just 83 00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:21,960 Speaker 1: been a game after game, has been getting healthy and 84 00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:24,680 Speaker 1: your boy Nick Bosa comes up clutch at the end 85 00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:30,920 Speaker 1: of that game, Rich, Nicholas John Bosa again, Mitchell. Every 86 00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:34,039 Speaker 1: week it's like cliche. I could go to sleep and 87 00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:37,160 Speaker 1: wake up. If the San Francisco forty Niners have played 88 00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:39,919 Speaker 1: and Nick Bosa played the whole game, he's likely gonna 89 00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:42,440 Speaker 1: have a sack of the quarterback, or he's gonna have 90 00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:44,440 Speaker 1: a lot of holding cars and chips and things of that. 91 00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:48,680 Speaker 1: But key ingredient to that, the forty Niners get their 92 00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:52,560 Speaker 1: fourth win in a row, their longest streaks since Ming 93 00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:56,760 Speaker 1: nineteen when we went eight no to start the season. 94 00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:01,320 Speaker 1: The forty Niners defense ranks first, and points per game first, 95 00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:04,560 Speaker 1: in yards per game first, and rush yards per game. 96 00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:09,080 Speaker 1: My goodness, sounds like a pretty good defense. Wait till 97 00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:14,240 Speaker 1: Eric Armstead returns. I forgot about Eric Armstead and a 98 00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:17,400 Speaker 1: lot of people, but you know, didn't forget about him. 99 00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:22,279 Speaker 1: Does San Francisco forts and he's coming back? Rich, crazy 100 00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:24,840 Speaker 1: statistic for this forty Niners team. I don't know when 101 00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:28,279 Speaker 1: the last time this has been done, but since Week seven, 102 00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:32,760 Speaker 1: the forty Niners have been allowed exactly zero points in 103 00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:37,400 Speaker 1: the second half. Mitchell I told you at the beginning 104 00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:39,560 Speaker 1: of the season, Mitchell, this could be the best defense 105 00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:42,080 Speaker 1: in football. They are complete. All three levels of the 106 00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:46,279 Speaker 1: defense have big time playmakers, all Pro Pro Bowl type players. 107 00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:49,680 Speaker 1: Tayler Noah Hufanga will likely find himself on a Pro 108 00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:51,640 Speaker 1: Bowl team this year with the way he's been playing. 109 00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:54,719 Speaker 1: Fred Warner has been on all Pro Pro bowler, um 110 00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:57,600 Speaker 1: Nick Bolsa has been a Pro bowler. Char Various Ward 111 00:05:57,640 --> 00:05:59,640 Speaker 1: may find himself on a Pro Bowl team this year. 112 00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:03,200 Speaker 1: And Dre Greenlaw is playing as well as anybody and 113 00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:06,120 Speaker 1: with that kind of talent. And then you inject Eric 114 00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:09,000 Speaker 1: Armstead back, and then you potentially get Javon Kin long back, 115 00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:13,039 Speaker 1: and the death in like severity of dealing with that 116 00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:15,800 Speaker 1: defensive line just gets worse. And you do you see 117 00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:19,520 Speaker 1: teams wavering through through down the stretch and are all 118 00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:22,080 Speaker 1: of a sudden getting healthier there four and oh, getting 119 00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:24,760 Speaker 1: healthier and healthier and danger more and more dangerous. This 120 00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:28,479 Speaker 1: should have been a game that the Saints stole you know, 121 00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:31,520 Speaker 1: their defense played well enough. They they held the offense 122 00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:34,320 Speaker 1: and check Jimmy Garoppolo played a solid game, you know, 123 00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:38,200 Speaker 1: thirty seven to two, one such down, no turnovers, but 124 00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:41,720 Speaker 1: they were stagnant at times. They weren't scoring points, and 125 00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:44,159 Speaker 1: the defense stood up. The Saints haven't been shut out 126 00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:47,520 Speaker 1: since two thousand one. It's been twenty years, over twenty 127 00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:49,719 Speaker 1: years since they've been shut out. And you know who 128 00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:54,960 Speaker 1: it took. It took them seeing Nicholas John Bosa and 129 00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:59,279 Speaker 1: Fred Warner and the boys, Jimmy Ward and guess what, 130 00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:05,320 Speaker 1: guess Mitchell, what's that? Rich Mitchell, It's gonna be trouble 131 00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:11,560 Speaker 1: when they all get fully healthy. I know you're happy 132 00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:14,240 Speaker 1: and and all, you know, high on this defense, but 133 00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:16,440 Speaker 1: let's be real. They're playing Andy Dalton. Rich I mean, 134 00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:18,920 Speaker 1: come on, you know this was a game they'd probably 135 00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:21,000 Speaker 1: lose if they were playing by Detroit Lions, who could 136 00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:23,280 Speaker 1: slap fourteen on the board on him. Come on, I 137 00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:25,520 Speaker 1: hear you. But guess what they got a good game 138 00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:31,600 Speaker 1: next week They played Mike McDaniel. He's coming home. Okay, So, Richard, 139 00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:33,840 Speaker 1: what does this team have to do to get their 140 00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:36,120 Speaker 1: offense back to humming to get with to win this 141 00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:37,680 Speaker 1: next game. But this is gonna be a true test. 142 00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:40,480 Speaker 1: I know you like Miami. I do like my Amo. 143 00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:42,040 Speaker 1: I like the way to us playing, But you know 144 00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:46,520 Speaker 1: who I like better than Mitchell, Nicholas John Bos Mitchell. 145 00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:48,640 Speaker 1: It's not gonna be easy to a tour have been 146 00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:51,480 Speaker 1: playing really good football. They've been playing good offensively. They 147 00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:53,160 Speaker 1: got half a I think he got a little banged 148 00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:56,400 Speaker 1: up today, but they gotta deal with this fort Niners defense, 149 00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:59,280 Speaker 1: who's gonna be even more stout with Eric Armstead coming 150 00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:02,280 Speaker 1: back fresh air. Garmstead hasn't played since like week six. 151 00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:05,080 Speaker 1: He's gonna be fresh. Is his ankles healed up, his 152 00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:07,600 Speaker 1: foot healed up. It's gonna be a tough, tough game 153 00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:09,200 Speaker 1: for him. It's a Monday night game, so they get 154 00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:10,600 Speaker 1: a little bit more of a rest. They were kind 155 00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:13,960 Speaker 1: of lethargic through this game coming from Mexico, but they 156 00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:16,440 Speaker 1: gotta They just gotta execute better. You know, we gotta 157 00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:19,080 Speaker 1: call it better. They you know, they're rusty. They're rusty. 158 00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:20,880 Speaker 1: You you play a game, you don't practice a lot. 159 00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:22,880 Speaker 1: Because Kyle is trying to take care of his players, 160 00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:25,560 Speaker 1: they gotta do better. But you know who did ball 161 00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:27,920 Speaker 1: out today, Mitchell, can I can I just say it 162 00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:32,880 Speaker 1: for you, Rich, please do. It's not Zack Wilson, I'll 163 00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:36,280 Speaker 1: tell you that much, is his buddy Mike White. Rich, 164 00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:39,120 Speaker 1: you talk to me about the Jets. They finally got 165 00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:40,960 Speaker 1: the right man in there, and it's not the number 166 00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:43,680 Speaker 1: two overall pick, Mitchell. Imagine if he was the number 167 00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:45,720 Speaker 1: two overall pick and he was playing like this, they'd 168 00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:48,040 Speaker 1: be so they'd be they'd be saying everything they were 169 00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:50,640 Speaker 1: saying about Trevor Lawrence about him, like this is what 170 00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:53,200 Speaker 1: he came in to do, Like that's what I hate 171 00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:55,840 Speaker 1: about this league. I hate the pedigrees. I hate all 172 00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:57,839 Speaker 1: the scouts at this guy. He had, all his talent. 173 00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:00,840 Speaker 1: His ceiling is so high it shut up. Either they 174 00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:03,720 Speaker 1: can play or they can't play. Like shut up. I 175 00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:05,240 Speaker 1: don't want to hear his ceiling. I don't want to 176 00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:07,560 Speaker 1: hear potential. I don't want what did what happened when 177 00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:10,199 Speaker 1: he got on the field, he played, did he played well? 178 00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:13,400 Speaker 1: Did he did he live up to the expectations? He didn't? Then, 179 00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:16,400 Speaker 1: don't say anything else about him. I don't care about potential. 180 00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:20,040 Speaker 1: Potential is the most overused, overrated thing I've ever heard, 181 00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:22,160 Speaker 1: and that's all you hear with these quarterbacks, these young 182 00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:27,760 Speaker 1: quarterback potential, potential, potential. I'm a production guy, production, production, production. 183 00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:31,240 Speaker 1: Mike White has production. I mean he started four times, 184 00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:34,959 Speaker 1: He's completed seventy percent of his ship passes, had three 185 00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:38,600 Speaker 1: hundred yards multiple times, he had three touchdowns and three 186 00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:42,520 Speaker 1: hundred yards multiple times. Like he's a good quarterback. And 187 00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:46,800 Speaker 1: if he just had the same moniker and pedigree that 188 00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:49,800 Speaker 1: Zack Wilson had, everybody would be over the moon about 189 00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:52,040 Speaker 1: what he's doing because he's a great player. But he 190 00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:54,400 Speaker 1: had to earn it from the bottom. He had to grind, 191 00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:56,200 Speaker 1: to grind, the grinding, he had to fight for an opportunity. 192 00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:58,320 Speaker 1: It's only thirty two starting quarterbacks in the National Football 193 00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:00,960 Speaker 1: League and without that pedigree, rare to get the opportunity. 194 00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:02,920 Speaker 1: So people are like, well, is Zach Wilson is still 195 00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:05,480 Speaker 1: gonna come back? Like for what? When? When has he 196 00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:07,679 Speaker 1: shown the kind of game that Mike White just played 197 00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:16,720 Speaker 1: at all? I can't, I can't point one out. And moreover, dude, 198 00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:19,480 Speaker 1: he's getting his guys involved. I mean Elijah more first 199 00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:22,079 Speaker 1: touchdown of the season. Ironically, as soon as Mike White 200 00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:24,320 Speaker 1: is under the center, and Zach Wilson is a plan 201 00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:27,800 Speaker 1: Darrell Wilson, you know, career day for him to Toddy's 202 00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:30,839 Speaker 1: yards five or five receptions. I mean, this team was 203 00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:34,480 Speaker 1: humming right from the jump. You know, Mike White put 204 00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:37,000 Speaker 1: all the critics to bed right away. I mean, this 205 00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:41,040 Speaker 1: is a guy that wants control of this team. First possession, boom, touchdown. 206 00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:43,640 Speaker 1: That's how you get it, don Rich Mitchell. They hadn't 207 00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:46,760 Speaker 1: scored on the first possession the entire year. They had 208 00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:49,720 Speaker 1: not scored on the first possession the entire that was 209 00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:51,760 Speaker 1: there were only two teams that hadn't scored on the 210 00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:53,920 Speaker 1: first possession, and they were one of them. And what 211 00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:56,480 Speaker 1: is Mike White doing his first start this year season? 212 00:10:56,720 --> 00:10:58,719 Speaker 1: He says, Oh, yeah, I wanna let's let's get it 213 00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:00,679 Speaker 1: down the field, Let's get an zone real, let's put 214 00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:02,680 Speaker 1: that to bed. And he does it. And then you 215 00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:04,800 Speaker 1: hear about how his teammates talking about him. They talk 216 00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:07,200 Speaker 1: about his work ethic, they talk about how prepared he is, 217 00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:09,319 Speaker 1: even when he was the number three quarterback. You talk. 218 00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:11,160 Speaker 1: You hear about how happy they are for him, how 219 00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:13,360 Speaker 1: much fun they're happy. That's when you know you got 220 00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:15,679 Speaker 1: a special guy. And and again, if this was the 221 00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:17,960 Speaker 1: number two pick in the draft, if we just took 222 00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:21,640 Speaker 1: everything away and swapped the stories of Zach Wilson and 223 00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:24,280 Speaker 1: Mike White and it was just Mike White drafted too, 224 00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:26,240 Speaker 1: and he's playing this well, and his teammates are saying 225 00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:29,200 Speaker 1: this about him, you'd be like, hey, they made the 226 00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:31,760 Speaker 1: right pick, Like, man, look at they got a franchise guy. 227 00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:34,600 Speaker 1: But since he was a fifth round pick, since he's 228 00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:37,480 Speaker 1: an unherlded guy, you're not talking about, Oh, well, they 229 00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:40,360 Speaker 1: found their franchise quarterback. He's a franchise quarterback if you're 230 00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:43,520 Speaker 1: gonna sit there and wait for a guy who's obviously 231 00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:46,080 Speaker 1: shown he's not capable of playing this kind of football, 232 00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:49,480 Speaker 1: Like it went from an anemic offense to like, oh 233 00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:51,920 Speaker 1: my god, look how many playmakers they got on the field, 234 00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:54,319 Speaker 1: Like everybody was saying the season was lost. Wait till 235 00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:58,480 Speaker 1: Breese Hall comes back with this, Like, my goodness, Mike 236 00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:03,679 Speaker 1: White is the I that organizations literally dream of, Like 237 00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:06,520 Speaker 1: this is I'm not gonna call him Tom Brady, but 238 00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:09,560 Speaker 1: any time you get a quarterback fourth rounder later, I 239 00:12:09,559 --> 00:12:13,319 Speaker 1: mean love Dak Prescott, late round guy. Right, These quarterbacks 240 00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:18,000 Speaker 1: are organization changers from a cap space standpoint. They come 241 00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:20,679 Speaker 1: out of nowhere, right and the only thing holding Mike 242 00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:23,679 Speaker 1: White back right now is the fact that you drafted 243 00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:26,959 Speaker 1: someone else number two overall, Richard, I'm gonna put you 244 00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:30,720 Speaker 1: in a very tough position, right you are, Robert Sala. 245 00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:33,720 Speaker 1: You have a team that is seven and four, poised 246 00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:36,280 Speaker 1: to make the playoffs and potentially who knows, make it wrong. 247 00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:38,640 Speaker 1: We've talked about him a handful of times throughout the year. 248 00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:42,959 Speaker 1: They've got great playmakers. Young guys, what do you do 249 00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:47,240 Speaker 1: with this quarterback situation going forward? That's not a tough situation. 250 00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:50,320 Speaker 1: That's not tough at all. I run. I go with 251 00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:52,319 Speaker 1: Mike White. I know he gives my team the best 252 00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:55,400 Speaker 1: chance to succeed. I know my team is confident in him. 253 00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:57,320 Speaker 1: I know he's better for the locker room. I know 254 00:12:57,400 --> 00:13:00,000 Speaker 1: he's better for my defense. You you hurt Sauce Tom 255 00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:02,679 Speaker 1: about the defense. Like, hey man, we were talking on sideline. 256 00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:04,480 Speaker 1: We ain't got that long with a break during the game, 257 00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:07,240 Speaker 1: and so long because they don't have long drives with 258 00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:10,559 Speaker 1: Zach Wilson, he's not going to complete the normal everyday passes. 259 00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:13,200 Speaker 1: The running backs aren't getting checked downs. You you you 260 00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:16,280 Speaker 1: see everybody's hitting on all cylinders and they got a chance. 261 00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:19,480 Speaker 1: I guarantee you the Minnesota Vikings, the Buffalo Bills, the 262 00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:21,920 Speaker 1: teams that they're about to face in the upcoming weeks 263 00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:25,280 Speaker 1: are definitely not as comfortable or are confident as they 264 00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:28,120 Speaker 1: were when Zach Wilson was playing. They beat the Buffalo 265 00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:31,360 Speaker 1: Bills with Zach Wilson, Blay, Mike White's gonna be a 266 00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:34,120 Speaker 1: whole different animal for them to deal with. Whole different animals, 267 00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:38,160 Speaker 1: no question, Richard. I want to transition to another with Wilson, 268 00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:41,120 Speaker 1: Russell Wilson, and we'll keep it brief here because I 269 00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:43,600 Speaker 1: don't want this to be all about Russell Wilson. I mean, 270 00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:47,040 Speaker 1: this Broncos team is probably the biggest letdown of this season. 271 00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:50,400 Speaker 1: But there was there was a clip from today's game 272 00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:53,760 Speaker 1: that went viral. One of the defensive lineman for the 273 00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:56,160 Speaker 1: Broncos I can't remember his name right now, but gotten 274 00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:59,480 Speaker 1: Russell Wilson's face. And you talk about wanting to play 275 00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:01,800 Speaker 1: for a team mate like the Jets are with Mike 276 00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:05,360 Speaker 1: White right now, right and now you're talking with a 277 00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:09,760 Speaker 1: defense that is number one in red zone defense, playing 278 00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:13,120 Speaker 1: in supporting cast for an offense that is number thirty 279 00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:17,520 Speaker 1: two and red zone offense. And finally, the frustrations are 280 00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:20,920 Speaker 1: starting to boil over. Talk to me about what's going 281 00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:24,800 Speaker 1: on within this Broncos organization. You mentioned the jump of 282 00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:27,440 Speaker 1: the season. I'm just gonna let you take it's different 283 00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:29,520 Speaker 1: when the quarterback comes in and he's a rookie, he's 284 00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:33,160 Speaker 1: a young guy, and he struggles and everybody, everybody can 285 00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:35,720 Speaker 1: understand that. You know, you'll see guys have more patients, 286 00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:38,880 Speaker 1: they'll have more understanding. They they'll they'll just say, hey, man, 287 00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:40,800 Speaker 1: he's young guy. He's going through the mode. You know, 288 00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:43,560 Speaker 1: he's he's learning and he's doing this. You're like, okay, 289 00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:46,640 Speaker 1: but you see this this stat floating around that they 290 00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:48,400 Speaker 1: would have been nine and one if they had just 291 00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:51,280 Speaker 1: scored eighteen points in every ball game they've been nine 292 00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:54,880 Speaker 1: and one. Um if they average eighteen points. Uh, And 293 00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:57,040 Speaker 1: that's tough. That's tough for defense to deal with. And 294 00:14:57,640 --> 00:15:00,160 Speaker 1: the way they were talking about Russell Wilson, if you 295 00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:01,720 Speaker 1: go back to the off season, the way they're talking 296 00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:03,600 Speaker 1: about it, like hey, we're one quarterback away, we're a 297 00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:06,240 Speaker 1: quarterback away, We're a quarterback away. Then they got him 298 00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:08,400 Speaker 1: and they were like, he's the peace, he's the leader, 299 00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:11,160 Speaker 1: he's what we needed. He's exactly what They're likely going 300 00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:13,280 Speaker 1: to have a worst record this year than they did 301 00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:17,360 Speaker 1: last year. And they traded for him, and I told 302 00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:21,440 Speaker 1: you they signed him to the big deal before they 303 00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:25,320 Speaker 1: ever saw him play. And that is troubling for a 304 00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:29,080 Speaker 1: team in general. Like sure, the teammates that nobody's gonna 305 00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:31,240 Speaker 1: say anything while it's happening. They're like, okay, you got 306 00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:34,720 Speaker 1: the franchise quarterback, like things are good, like cool. But 307 00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:38,320 Speaker 1: as the as adversity comes, as things kind of fall 308 00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:41,320 Speaker 1: apart as they have over last and he's not playing well, 309 00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:44,600 Speaker 1: then the doubt starts to creep in, the anger starts 310 00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:48,440 Speaker 1: to creep in, the frustration, the lasting out starts to happen. 311 00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:50,480 Speaker 1: And you'll see it likely more and more throughout the 312 00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:53,920 Speaker 1: season because that defense has played well well enough to 313 00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:56,560 Speaker 1: win some of these games this year, and they've struggled 314 00:15:56,560 --> 00:15:58,440 Speaker 1: and they've lost. You know, you you get in the 315 00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:00,360 Speaker 1: game where you've given up one touch down in the 316 00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:03,240 Speaker 1: game and you lose the game, it's frustrating. And so 317 00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:06,600 Speaker 1: that's what's gonna be hard for this team going forward, 318 00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:09,160 Speaker 1: is that there is so much given to him so 319 00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:12,880 Speaker 1: early on without like it's proven. Like when I got 320 00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:17,360 Speaker 1: to San Francisco, you your reputation procede you. I'm all pro, 321 00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:20,480 Speaker 1: I'm a pro bowler. I'm a guy. But you still 322 00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:22,720 Speaker 1: gotta put it on tape. You can't go out there 323 00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:25,120 Speaker 1: and play bad. So I during the Super Bowl year, 324 00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:27,880 Speaker 1: I'm an all pro. I'm a pro bowler. Like I've 325 00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:29,920 Speaker 1: put it on tape again, I've reminded you. I've done 326 00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:32,560 Speaker 1: it in front of you. So now the respect level 327 00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:35,400 Speaker 1: it's back to where it should be. The claim. Otherwise 328 00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:37,200 Speaker 1: they're just telling you about man. I used to watch 329 00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:39,160 Speaker 1: your videos. You used to be such and such and 330 00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:41,440 Speaker 1: such thing you used to be man, I used to 331 00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:45,200 Speaker 1: watch such. No watch me. Now I'm bawling. And so 332 00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:48,040 Speaker 1: that's the hard part for that defense is that they're 333 00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:51,600 Speaker 1: playing at a high level and it's it's going without reward. 334 00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:53,960 Speaker 1: And he's got he's making a lot of money. He's 335 00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:55,760 Speaker 1: gonna continue to make a lot of money. The Denver 336 00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:58,680 Speaker 1: Broncos cannot get out of that deal. They can they, 337 00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:01,080 Speaker 1: I mean, the cap hits are ridiculous. I think it's 338 00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:02,880 Speaker 1: a hundred and five next year if they cut him 339 00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:05,159 Speaker 1: eighty five after that, forty nine after that, they have 340 00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:07,640 Speaker 1: no way of getting out of these contracts. Everybody's gonna 341 00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:10,600 Speaker 1: call for firing people. But at the end of the day, 342 00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:12,399 Speaker 1: they gotta find a way to make it work. They 343 00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:13,879 Speaker 1: have to find a way to make it work. And 344 00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:17,680 Speaker 1: the Seattle Seahawks are benefited right now. Seattle Seahawks traded him, 345 00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:19,640 Speaker 1: and right now they're sitting at the number three draft 346 00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:21,840 Speaker 1: pick in the next next draft, and I'm sure they're 347 00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:23,879 Speaker 1: pretty happy with them. I'll say it for you. I 348 00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:26,240 Speaker 1: think this goes down. I would love to see. I mean, 349 00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:29,800 Speaker 1: trades in the NFL are are not as prevalent as MLB, 350 00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:33,159 Speaker 1: and you know n B a NHL. This goes to 351 00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:35,000 Speaker 1: show you why not a whole lot of teams trade 352 00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:39,080 Speaker 1: in the NFL. This goes down. Probably is the worst trade, 353 00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:42,480 Speaker 1: and I'm gonna call it in sports history right now. Rich. 354 00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:46,560 Speaker 1: I mean, you're giving up a top five pick most 355 00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:49,680 Speaker 1: certainly what it looks like for next year to get 356 00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:51,600 Speaker 1: a guy. You gotta pay two dred and forty plus 357 00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:54,600 Speaker 1: million dollars and it's gonna anchor down your cap space 358 00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:57,200 Speaker 1: and roster flexibility for the next five plus years. I mean, 359 00:17:57,240 --> 00:18:00,440 Speaker 1: if I guarantee you, if you pulled Denver and Base, 360 00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:04,720 Speaker 1: would you rather have Teddy Bridgewater Russell Wilson independent of 361 00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:06,960 Speaker 1: all the nonsense with the draft picks in the cap 362 00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:09,560 Speaker 1: space you gotta hell, I got, I had a lot 363 00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:12,600 Speaker 1: of fans asked for Teddy two gloves back, Rich, I mean, 364 00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:17,720 Speaker 1: my goodness. And it's only gone to continue to get 365 00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:21,080 Speaker 1: worse and worse and worse with the added pressure going 366 00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:23,680 Speaker 1: season by season by season, because we're seeing what that 367 00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:26,359 Speaker 1: happens with the Rams. When you don't have first arm picks, 368 00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:29,520 Speaker 1: different parts of your rosters start to slip down. And 369 00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:32,080 Speaker 1: that's what's gonna happen with the Broncos, Rich. They're only 370 00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:34,280 Speaker 1: gonna get worse before they get better, right, And I 371 00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:36,679 Speaker 1: feel almost feel bad for him because it's not like 372 00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:38,359 Speaker 1: he asked for this. He's I mean, I guess he 373 00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:40,720 Speaker 1: kind of did. He asked for the train. But this 374 00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:44,240 Speaker 1: is a lesson to teams. You do not pay people 375 00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:47,720 Speaker 1: until you see them play for your team. You not 376 00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:50,639 Speaker 1: be them up until you see them play. But he 377 00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:52,400 Speaker 1: had two years on his deal, and if they would 378 00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:54,840 Speaker 1: have saw him played the first ten games, they likely 379 00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:57,520 Speaker 1: would have never signed the extension. They likely would have 380 00:18:57,560 --> 00:19:00,000 Speaker 1: never extended him. They would have been like, hey, okay, 381 00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:02,600 Speaker 1: we see what we got. It's unfortunate. We can cut 382 00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:04,720 Speaker 1: our losses or we can eat it. We can we 383 00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:06,840 Speaker 1: can move on from this. It's it goes down as 384 00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:11,040 Speaker 1: a bad trade, but they compounded it exponentially when they 385 00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:13,080 Speaker 1: gave him such a big deal, unlocked them in such 386 00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:15,840 Speaker 1: so long term that they can't do anything. You can 387 00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:18,480 Speaker 1: fire hack it, you can fire everybody and say, oh 388 00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:21,080 Speaker 1: we we fired the coaches. Well, you're still stuck with 389 00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:24,159 Speaker 1: the same team. And it's not a roster that a 390 00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:26,360 Speaker 1: head coach, a good head coach is gonna say, hmm, 391 00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:28,560 Speaker 1: I'm excited to go in there and deal with that roster. 392 00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:31,240 Speaker 1: It's a good defense, it's got playmakers on the defense, 393 00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:34,000 Speaker 1: you've got playmakers on offense. But it's not coming together well. 394 00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:35,720 Speaker 1: And it's very few coaches that are stepping into that 395 00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:38,520 Speaker 1: situation and be like, hey, I'm ready to take the helm. 396 00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:41,080 Speaker 1: So it's like, no matter what, you're sitting there and 397 00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:43,800 Speaker 1: saying fire, fire, fire fire, that's not always the answer. 398 00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:48,040 Speaker 1: The grass ain't always greener.

I'll leave you 418 00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:55,960 Speaker 1: with this rich the Broncos are averaging four team point 419 00:20:55,960 --> 00:20:58,960 Speaker 1: two points per game as a franchise. That is their 420 00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:05,919 Speaker 1: worst in history through eleven games since nineteen That is that. Now, 421 00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:07,760 Speaker 1: I'm gonna take you to a quarterback, and you've already 422 00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:10,680 Speaker 1: right ferenced him that a team is happy to play 423 00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:17,800 Speaker 1: for Taylor Heineke. These commanders looked somewhat for real. Mitchell, Mitchell, 424 00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:20,920 Speaker 1: you keep messing with it. It almost happened to Tom 425 00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:23,120 Speaker 1: Brady a few years ago on the Super Bowl run. 426 00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:26,160 Speaker 1: He ran into Taylor Heineke and he almost got sent 427 00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:29,920 Speaker 1: home by a kid nobody knew, nobody expected, a little 428 00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:32,920 Speaker 1: gun slinger. And he's out there playing with no fear. 429 00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:35,879 Speaker 1: And he's still that guy. He gets in the playoffs 430 00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:39,159 Speaker 1: this year, he's already beat the Eagles. Philadelphia does not 431 00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:40,720 Speaker 1: want to see him again. They do not want to 432 00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:42,560 Speaker 1: see that team. And you can say, what do you 433 00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:44,960 Speaker 1: want about it? They don't. It's not it's not a 434 00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:47,960 Speaker 1: good matchup for him. They're not aspraid of him. Obviously, 435 00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:50,640 Speaker 1: Jordan Davis will be back. They got they got sued. Now, 436 00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:55,120 Speaker 1: they got reinforcements. But he's gonna They're gonna make life 437 00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:57,560 Speaker 1: very difficult for somebody if they played them in the 438 00:21:57,560 --> 00:22:00,119 Speaker 1: first round of the playoffs. Nobody's gonna go and hey, 439 00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:01,960 Speaker 1: hey man, we want to see to watch ta commanders 440 00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:05,360 Speaker 1: and and and get this easy win and you might 441 00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:07,919 Speaker 1: beat him. It's not gonna be easy. It's gonna be 442 00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:10,520 Speaker 1: adult fight. And this is the story of the coach 443 00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:12,359 Speaker 1: and Ron Rivera. I know he was helped in his 444 00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:16,000 Speaker 1: decision by the injury to Carson Wentz, but things were 445 00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:18,720 Speaker 1: not going right with Carson Wentz, and then all of 446 00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:21,680 Speaker 1: a sudden they were going great when Taylor Heineke took over. 447 00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:23,960 Speaker 1: Here's a coach, and Ron river has got a number 448 00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:26,679 Speaker 1: of years experience in this league and is giving the 449 00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:29,840 Speaker 1: hot hand ample opportunity to put this team on his 450 00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:32,760 Speaker 1: back and get him wins. And I think your boy 451 00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:36,320 Speaker 1: Robert Sala can probably take the same notes and give 452 00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:39,400 Speaker 1: the keys to the car over to Mike White, right 453 00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:42,600 Speaker 1: and let him win some games. He's already done it. 454 00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:46,119 Speaker 1: But listen to this. This is a stat. Everybody's a stat. 455 00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:49,840 Speaker 1: Guy wins our quarterback stat wins our quarterback stat. I 456 00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:52,000 Speaker 1: hate it. I hate it, but since that's what they 457 00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:54,560 Speaker 1: want to live by. Taylor Heineke and his last four 458 00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:58,359 Speaker 1: team starts. It's ten and four Taylor Heineken and his 459 00:22:58,440 --> 00:23:01,080 Speaker 1: last four team start. That's why is always weird when 460 00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:04,159 Speaker 1: they made the Carson Wentz trade, because it's like, like 461 00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:06,960 Speaker 1: he's not a word. Taylor Heinek is not a world beater, 462 00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:11,040 Speaker 1: but like, you made a lateral move. You know what 463 00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:14,359 Speaker 1: I mean Again, you talk about potential ceiling, You know 464 00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:16,800 Speaker 1: things like that, like you made a lateral move, and 465 00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:18,880 Speaker 1: you made a lateral move. When you have a guy 466 00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:22,120 Speaker 1: that the team plays for, they rally behind, like it's 467 00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:24,560 Speaker 1: just like the San Francisco for nineers with Jimmy Garoppolo. 468 00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:28,520 Speaker 1: Sure they believe in trade trade lance, but they play 469 00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:31,160 Speaker 1: for Jimmy Garoppolo. You you can just hear the way 470 00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:34,040 Speaker 1: their teammates talk about them, the way they fight for him, 471 00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:36,959 Speaker 1: the way the quarterback fights for the team. You see it. 472 00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:40,560 Speaker 1: They may not be the most talented, high ceiling guys, 473 00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:44,480 Speaker 1: a armed talent or make these crazy arm angle throws, 474 00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:48,160 Speaker 1: they are winners. Though. You look at Jimmy Garoppolo's record 475 00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:54,000 Speaker 1: to winning. He wins. Mitchell, I understand that, Rich, Let's 476 00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:57,640 Speaker 1: go to the NFC South. That's not that's not not. 477 00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:00,800 Speaker 1: We have the only reason we have to is because 478 00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:03,040 Speaker 1: you played for him last year, which otherwise we wouldn't 479 00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:05,720 Speaker 1: be talking about this team. But I mean, let's just 480 00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:07,720 Speaker 1: start with the Buccaneers. I mean, I don't know who 481 00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:10,080 Speaker 1: who wants to win this Can we take a poll 482 00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:12,960 Speaker 1: amongst players in the NFC South who wants to win 483 00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:15,560 Speaker 1: this division? Because it certainly doesn't look like anyone wants 484 00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:18,879 Speaker 1: to rich Apparently is the Carolina Panthers. The Carolina Panthers 485 00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:21,800 Speaker 1: gonna win it. They just got to win. Um this week. Um. 486 00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:23,840 Speaker 1: They're the only team in the NFC South to win 487 00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:26,520 Speaker 1: this week. UM, so apparently they want to win it 488 00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:28,840 Speaker 1: this week. Right now, the Bucks are still first in 489 00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:31,240 Speaker 1: the division. Um, even with that loss, it was a 490 00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:35,480 Speaker 1: heartbreaking loss. UM. Deshaun Watson comes back this week for 491 00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:37,920 Speaker 1: the Cleveland Brown. So it was good for Jacoby Prisette. 492 00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:40,520 Speaker 1: He really wanted to beat Tom Brady obviously he played 493 00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:42,359 Speaker 1: behind him for a number of years and it was 494 00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:44,879 Speaker 1: cool moment and cool story for him. But it's just 495 00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:48,239 Speaker 1: unfortunate for that Tampa Bay Buccaneers team who continually they 496 00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:50,800 Speaker 1: they're getting more and more beat up throughout the season. 497 00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:53,919 Speaker 1: They lost Tristan Worth, they're starting right tackle, who has 498 00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:56,600 Speaker 1: been a foundational piece. He has not missed game. He 499 00:24:56,640 --> 00:24:59,399 Speaker 1: has not missed He does not miss games. He is foundational. 500 00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:00,880 Speaker 1: You know he's to be there and you know he's 501 00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:03,360 Speaker 1: gonna play well. So thankfully they got some positive news 502 00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:06,040 Speaker 1: in that respect that that it's not as serious as 503 00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:08,199 Speaker 1: they thought, but still for him to get beat up 504 00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:11,240 Speaker 1: with that offensive line already so beat up. They're hoping 505 00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:14,640 Speaker 1: Ryan Jensen comes back, who would be an enormous boost 506 00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:17,679 Speaker 1: for them. But you gotta tread water until then, Like 507 00:25:17,840 --> 00:25:21,160 Speaker 1: things will get better, but you gotta win in the meantime. 508 00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:23,280 Speaker 1: You gotta find a way to pull these games out. 509 00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:25,280 Speaker 1: And they had a chance. They had a chance in 510 00:25:25,359 --> 00:25:27,240 Speaker 1: regulation to pull it out. They had a chance to 511 00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:30,000 Speaker 1: make better decisions in terms of how they use their 512 00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:33,720 Speaker 1: time outs, and they just didn't. It's just and they 513 00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:36,879 Speaker 1: host the Saints on Monday night football. It's gonna be 514 00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:38,680 Speaker 1: a dog fight. Man, It's gonna be a dog fight, 515 00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:40,560 Speaker 1: and it always is a dog fight in that division. 516 00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:42,680 Speaker 1: But man, they gotta find they gotta stack some wins 517 00:25:42,720 --> 00:25:46,080 Speaker 1: together soon. What sucks most about that game, especially with 518 00:25:46,119 --> 00:25:47,960 Speaker 1: it being on Monday night. I'm sure going into the season, 519 00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:49,240 Speaker 1: everyone thought it was gonna be a Hall of the 520 00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:52,560 Speaker 1: Game and I can we flex out of that one? 521 00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:56,840 Speaker 1: Rich you think, Mitchell, I'm a flex out of it. 522 00:25:57,600 --> 00:25:59,480 Speaker 1: I'm a flex on it. And I don't know that. 523 00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:03,719 Speaker 1: Here's the statistic for you. Tom Brady going into this 524 00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:06,960 Speaker 1: week had not lost a game on his career while 525 00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:09,720 Speaker 1: leading seven or seven points or more in the final 526 00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:13,520 Speaker 1: two minutes. He was two eighteen and oh the Browns 527 00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:19,360 Speaker 1: snap that record for him, sent okay with the brown 528 00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:21,960 Speaker 1: Next week is different for the Browns ritually got the 529 00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:25,080 Speaker 1: Shawn Watson coming in. I mean, the Browns are four 530 00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:28,000 Speaker 1: and seven. What can do Shaun give him? You know 531 00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:31,000 Speaker 1: they could do they can they do anything for him? 532 00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:34,879 Speaker 1: Do they have an outside shot of turning this around? Mitch? 533 00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:37,320 Speaker 1: If they win straight sixth straight with Deshaun Watson, they 534 00:26:37,359 --> 00:26:40,240 Speaker 1: may give him another two million, Mitchell. I don't. I 535 00:26:40,240 --> 00:26:43,320 Speaker 1: don't see that happening. If Deshaun Watson gets this this 536 00:26:43,359 --> 00:26:45,679 Speaker 1: Brown's team to the playoffs, Mitchell, they may make a 537 00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:48,879 Speaker 1: statue of him and and and give him property and 538 00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:53,160 Speaker 1: part part ownership in the Browns. Like it's gonna be crazy, 539 00:26:53,200 --> 00:26:55,800 Speaker 1: It's gonna take it remarkable. But defensively they played a 540 00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:58,399 Speaker 1: really solid game. They held Tom Brady and check the 541 00:26:58,480 --> 00:27:00,879 Speaker 1: hell Mike Evans and check Tom Brady some throws that 542 00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:03,479 Speaker 1: he could have made, um that he didn't. It's just 543 00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:07,479 Speaker 1: a weird, weird year, and nobody seems to It's almost 544 00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:10,200 Speaker 1: like the NFC South and the NFC East traded places 545 00:27:10,320 --> 00:27:13,199 Speaker 1: and the NFC East is balling. They're they're balling. You've 546 00:27:13,240 --> 00:27:16,160 Speaker 1: got you've got multiple teams that that could win it. Yuh, 547 00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:19,760 Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys are playing well. Zeke had when it probably 548 00:27:19,800 --> 00:27:22,600 Speaker 1: his best game of the season last week on Thanksgiving. 549 00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:25,919 Speaker 1: Your Detroit Lions gave the Buffalo Bills all they could handle. 550 00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:29,960 Speaker 1: That was crazy. Watch out. You know the future is 551 00:27:30,040 --> 00:27:34,679 Speaker 1: bright in Detroit, right or not? But whatever, I don't know, 552 00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:37,680 Speaker 1: I know it's there. The future is there, and Jamison 553 00:27:37,720 --> 00:27:40,879 Speaker 1: Williams is practicing. That's gonna be something positive for them. 554 00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:43,560 Speaker 1: Um and and then the Giants. The Giants gave the 555 00:27:44,119 --> 00:27:46,080 Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys all they could handle. It's gonna be a 556 00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:48,800 Speaker 1: fun fight in these playoffs. The playoffs are gonna be interesting. 557 00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:52,000 Speaker 1: I gotta feeling it's gonna be some freak team is 558 00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:54,640 Speaker 1: going to beat somebody they should not beat. And it's 559 00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:57,439 Speaker 1: gonna I'm not saying it's gonna be the Bengals in 560 00:27:57,440 --> 00:27:59,840 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl again, but it's gonna be something like that. 561 00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:02,879 Speaker 1: I think, as you said, Rich, this year just seems 562 00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:05,040 Speaker 1: a little different, you know. I mean there's a lot 563 00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:08,440 Speaker 1: of teams that are all very, very competitive, and the 564 00:28:08,480 --> 00:28:12,080 Speaker 1: top dogs don't seem to have that much separation as 565 00:28:12,119 --> 00:28:15,520 Speaker 1: they've had in years past. I mean, the Bills seem beatable, 566 00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:17,680 Speaker 1: you know. I mean Detroit almost beat them. I Mean, 567 00:28:17,840 --> 00:28:20,600 Speaker 1: Kansas City looks great, but they don't you know, they 568 00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:23,320 Speaker 1: don't have Tyreek anymore. They might be beatable. You know. 569 00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:25,720 Speaker 1: I think you called at the beginning of season. I 570 00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:28,000 Speaker 1: think the Miami Dolphins are the team that looks like 571 00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:31,240 Speaker 1: they're they're playing with some extra ammo right now. I mean, 572 00:28:31,440 --> 00:28:35,280 Speaker 1: they looked. I know they're playing Houston, but goodness, and 573 00:28:35,600 --> 00:28:41,560 Speaker 1: that division, the a f C East, look out, it's good. 574 00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:43,960 Speaker 1: It's a dog fight. And they they're trying to send 575 00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:46,280 Speaker 1: four teams to the playoffs in that division. I mean, 576 00:28:46,360 --> 00:28:50,800 Speaker 1: it's not it's not a crazy, crazy thought, Mitchell. They 577 00:28:50,840 --> 00:28:53,000 Speaker 1: may they could. They could, and you're gonna be in 578 00:28:53,080 --> 00:28:56,000 Speaker 1: Foxboro next Thursday. Rich, I mean, you got finally a 579 00:28:56,040 --> 00:28:59,960 Speaker 1: big time game Thursday night football, Buffalo at New New England. Mitchell, 580 00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:02,920 Speaker 1: it's a freaky scenario where those New York Jets win 581 00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:05,080 Speaker 1: this division and get a home game in the playoffs. 582 00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:09,520 Speaker 1: Mitchell on Twitter. May implode and I may help it 583 00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:13,000 Speaker 1: and if that happens, but there are scenarios where it 584 00:29:13,040 --> 00:29:15,480 Speaker 1: could happen. Buffalo has been beat a ball, um, And 585 00:29:15,600 --> 00:29:18,600 Speaker 1: the Miami Dolphins have some very tough games down the stretch. 586 00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:20,280 Speaker 1: They have a tough schedule. They have to beat the 587 00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:24,160 Speaker 1: forty niners. You know, they lose that game. Their their 588 00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:27,480 Speaker 1: four losses, and the Jets are looking at four losses. 589 00:29:27,480 --> 00:29:29,120 Speaker 1: So it's seven and four, seven and four. What are 590 00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:33,040 Speaker 1: we talking about? We're right here, um, and so anything 591 00:29:33,080 --> 00:29:35,880 Speaker 1: can happen down in stretch Mentell, in those playoffs, home 592 00:29:35,920 --> 00:29:39,200 Speaker 1: field kind of matters. But we watched we watched teams 593 00:29:39,320 --> 00:29:42,920 Speaker 1: literally go on the road every game and win it. 594 00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:45,400 Speaker 1: And it didn't happen last year, but it happened with 595 00:29:45,440 --> 00:29:48,760 Speaker 1: Tampa Bay they played the Super Bowl in their home city. 596 00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:50,800 Speaker 1: I don't think the Cardinals will be doing that this year. 597 00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:54,280 Speaker 1: But you know, anything is possible right now. No, No, 598 00:29:54,320 --> 00:29:57,520 Speaker 1: that's not possible. That's did not get too crazy. This 599 00:29:57,640 --> 00:30:03,280 Speaker 1: concludes our our our Sunday what week twelve, Sunday Week twelve. 600 00:30:03,280 --> 00:30:06,760 Speaker 1: We got a big game this evening.
