20
00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:27,240

21
00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:29,760
Speaker 1: Uh and get in I should say gett out wouldn't

22
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:31,080
Speaker 1: have been a problem in Florida. But then they got

23
00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:33,960
Speaker 1: in on Sunday and then got them and we had

24
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:36,280
Speaker 1: the best time. Everybody loved their gifts. It was a

25
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:39,000
Speaker 1: great year of gifts, and and Ard and I got

26
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:42,480
Speaker 1: us gifts. She got some Christmas vacation ugly Christmas sweaters

27
00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:44,520
Speaker 1: that says, why is the floor wet? Todd, I don't know,

28
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:48,320
Speaker 1: Margo great um, and uh yeah, it was great. And

29
00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:51,480
Speaker 1: then we had everybody over, eleven people and did the

30
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:55,000
Speaker 1: prime rib up and it was delicious on the on

31
00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:59,000
Speaker 1: the videos, it's so beautiful. Did you have any left over?

32
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:01,160
Speaker 1: So there's a little bit left over? You I've had

33
00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:03,520
Speaker 1: a couple of bones already that were leftovers, and then

34
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:08,040
Speaker 1: there's like one probably two inch slab left over from

35
00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:11,440
Speaker 1: fourteen pounds. That's it. What is the reheat instructions? Because

36
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:15,280
Speaker 1: I feel like people just assume you just knuke it,

37
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 1: and for any kind of food, I'll re suviet So

38
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:22,080
Speaker 1: you just put it in and you put it like

39
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:24,440
Speaker 1: not quite the temperature that you had wanted it out.

40
00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:26,280
Speaker 1: So if it was I did one two point five,

41
00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:28,679
Speaker 1: So I'll just reuse suvia to like one nine and

42
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:30,560
Speaker 1: then I'll probably throw a pop it back in the

43
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:33,560
Speaker 1: oven at like four seventy five for like three minutes

44
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:35,800
Speaker 1: just to kind of crust outside again. Okay, it'll be

45
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:39,560
Speaker 1: like it'll be good as new. Yeah, did that had

46
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:45,560
Speaker 1: a So Sunday. I was down going in my fantasy

47
00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:49,799
Speaker 1: league going into Sunday. The guy that I was playing

48
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:54,560
Speaker 1: against was totally done. His whole squad was done. I

49
00:02:54,720 --> 00:03:01,480
Speaker 1: had still to go Christian Watson, the Denver defense, DeAndre

50
00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:07,600
Speaker 1: Hopkins Eckler, and the kicker of the charters. And I

51
00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:13,080
Speaker 1: was down twenty seven points with five people feeling pretty good.

52
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:15,960
Speaker 1: I was down maybe thirty seven points with five people.

53
00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:17,720
Speaker 1: Thirty seven with five people. Yeah, so they needed just

54
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:20,760
Speaker 1: average Like yeah, I should have won by like forty

55
00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:23,720
Speaker 1: obviously did not. So Watson in the first game on

56
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:26,600
Speaker 1: Christmas is playing well. He has like six catches forty

57
00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:28,840
Speaker 1: nine yards in the first half. It gets hurt, correct

58
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:32,720
Speaker 1: doesn't come back no, which I was looking at him.

59
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:34,960
Speaker 1: I'm like, I feel like you should have come out.

60
00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:36,320
Speaker 1: Would have liked to it. I would have liked him

61
00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:40,880
Speaker 1: to have come back. Second game is the Broncos Rams

62
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:45,240
Speaker 1: Denver had been like scoring a ton of defensive points.

63
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:47,720
Speaker 1: They had eight picks in their last three games. The

64
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:50,839
Speaker 1: Rams had been the worst offense, so like the best

65
00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:54,520
Speaker 1: for a fantasy defense to go against. Looking at the matchup,

66
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:57,320
Speaker 1: you would have said, this is a big They scored

67
00:03:57,320 --> 00:04:01,160
Speaker 1: opportunity zero, Like it's impo possible for defense on the

68
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:04,640
Speaker 1: score zero. It is almost impossible. They scored zero. That's

69
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:07,360
Speaker 1: how your coach gets fired. The next day, then DeAndre

70
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:11,800
Speaker 1: Hopkins goes out, gets ten targets, catches one pass for

71
00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 1: four yards. Now you're sweating. So now goes into Monday.

72
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:20,440
Speaker 1: I'm down twenty seven, I want to say, and all

73
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:24,479
Speaker 1: I have is Eckler and the kicker, dicker, the kicker,

74
00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:29,159
Speaker 1: and Eckler scores once in the first half and then

75
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:31,280
Speaker 1: he scored in the fourth quarter and that was it.

76
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:36,279
Speaker 1: So onto the finals, baby, uh four points ended up

77
00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:42,520
Speaker 1: winning by four. You were sweating. What had happened was

78
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:49,000
Speaker 1: what happened was the absolute worst. Is so on after Saturday.

79
00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:54,120
Speaker 1: His final game was the Pittsburgh Raiders game. He had

80
00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:57,400
Speaker 1: nag and Josh Jacobs. Josh Jacobs has been amazing all year.

81
00:04:57,400 --> 00:04:58,880
Speaker 1: He had his worst game the year. He scored like

82
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:02,400
Speaker 1: five points and nazi s like the Pittsburgh mystique ken whatever.

83
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:07,240
Speaker 1: So he was like text and every you know, conceding,

84
00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:11,200
Speaker 1: good game, it's over, blah blah blah. And I'm like,

85
00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:13,560
Speaker 1: and I'm trying to be like, I don't want to

86
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:15,839
Speaker 1: hear your reverse jinks, Like I got no time for it.

87
00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:17,719
Speaker 1: I tried to like block his reverse jinks. And then

88
00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:20,799
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, Saturday happened, or Sunday happens, Christmas

89
00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:23,160
Speaker 1: Day happens with those three games and those three performances,

90
00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:26,360
Speaker 1: and I'm like, you like you reverse jinks. So then

91
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:29,440
Speaker 1: so Saturday all day, Sunday night, and Monday on the

92
00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:31,760
Speaker 1: group text, I'm just keep talking about, you know, what

93
00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:33,560
Speaker 1: a great season we had and it was such a

94
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:35,960
Speaker 1: magical run and wishing Ricky the best of luck in

95
00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:40,200
Speaker 1: the finals. So I like quadruple reverse jinks, his reverse jinks.

96
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:42,800
Speaker 1: And then Austin Ekeler, We've drafted him first overall. He

97
00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:44,920
Speaker 1: delivered for us in the clutch, and so we're onto

98
00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:48,039
Speaker 1: the finals, taken on Mark, Monico and Vardi in search

99
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:51,119
Speaker 1: of their first ever George and I'm on my fourth

100
00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:53,160
Speaker 1: and the middle was like calling me yesterday and he's like,

101
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:56,200
Speaker 1: you're just trying to to be like, I got no chance.

102
00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:57,880
Speaker 1: So when you come back, I'm like, no, man, it's over.

103
00:05:57,920 --> 00:05:59,120
Speaker 1: I got no chance. And I don't know what you're

104
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:03,520
Speaker 1: talking about. And then on the finals, and it was

105
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:06,679
Speaker 1: only because did you watch any of the game. Oh yeah, okay,

106
00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:09,240
Speaker 1: yeah I watched. I watched up through halftime last night.

107
00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:11,800
Speaker 1: And then I was like, if Heenan Allen doesn't step

108
00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:16,320
Speaker 1: out of bounds by the slimmest of margins on that

109
00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:18,800
Speaker 1: one play, Eckler doesn't get his first touchdown, and then

110
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:20,960
Speaker 1: the second touchdown he got tackled at the one inch

111
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:23,479
Speaker 1: line and I thought he was in and I was

112
00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:24,960
Speaker 1: wanting them to review, and then I'm like they're just

113
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:27,640
Speaker 1: gonna quarterback sneak it and then they gave it to him.

114
00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:30,520
Speaker 1: Any scores, I was like, yes, screaming. My kids came

115
00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:32,040
Speaker 1: down says like did you make it? Did you win?

116
00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:34,920
Speaker 1: It's like yeah, sure did, sure did so it was good, good,

117
00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:37,719
Speaker 1: good capper to the holiday. I am bummed out though,

118
00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:39,800
Speaker 1: like this year, I don't know why. I feel like

119
00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:41,560
Speaker 1: December flew by and then all of a sudden it

120
00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:43,000
Speaker 1: was Christmas, and the now I'm like, but I still

121
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:45,760
Speaker 1: wanted like Christmas and Christmas hype and all of that.

122
00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:49,359
Speaker 1: Thanksgiving came. Yeah, and then all of a sudden, the

123
00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:56,000
Speaker 1: month December like a five time speed, I don't understand,

124
00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:58,120
Speaker 1: And next thing you know, it was Christmas and now

125
00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:03,120
Speaker 1: everybody is I don't know, there's some people working here today. Um,

126
00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:07,159
Speaker 1: it's like that there were not a lot of cars

127
00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:09,720
Speaker 1: in the parking lot today. No, well, it's a it's

128
00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:12,040
Speaker 1: a week between the two holidays, you know, well, and

129
00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:14,440
Speaker 1: the home portion of the schedule is over home schedule,

130
00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:17,320
Speaker 1: the people that spent a lot of time last week

131
00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:20,720
Speaker 1: working and we're here on Friday in a blizzard, you know, rightfully.

132
00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:24,000
Speaker 1: So four and four at home not great, not great,

133
00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:30,040
Speaker 1: not great, not great. So you're lost. Could have been Saints, Jets, Chargers,

134
00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:33,240
Speaker 1: Patriots at home where your losses and three of them

135
00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:36,440
Speaker 1: you had in the US swept the division at home.

136
00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:37,800
Speaker 1: You went three and o at home in the division.

137
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:39,000
Speaker 1: You still have a chance to go four and two

138
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:43,920
Speaker 1: in the division if you beat the Steelers the game TBD. Kids,

139
00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:46,680
Speaker 1: who was the last who was our other? Off top

140
00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:48,000
Speaker 1: of my head? Who else did we beat at home?

141
00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:51,080
Speaker 1: Why am I blinking on it? We beat the three

142
00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:52,720
Speaker 1: teams in the division. We have one other home one

143
00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:57,880
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay, Tampa Bay. That's right. Yeah, just it was

144
00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:01,520
Speaker 1: a very frustrating. I guess if there was a positive

145
00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:06,440
Speaker 1: on Saturday, it was you're onto Christmas, like you're onto

146
00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:09,240
Speaker 1: the holiday, because at four o'clock it was not a

147
00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:13,200
Speaker 1: great Well, it was great in our booth, it was awful.

148
00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:16,400
Speaker 1: It was it was awful. The feeling it was not great.

149
00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:20,120
Speaker 1: But you were like, Okay, it's Christmas. I gotta put

150
00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:23,320
Speaker 1: this to bed. I'll revisit this later when it was

151
00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:25,480
Speaker 1: settled out and not be angry. Yeah, and then to

152
00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:27,280
Speaker 1: just kind of to talk about the game for a second.

153
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:31,560
Speaker 1: Just it felt like it turned out very much like

154
00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:34,120
Speaker 1: and I appreciate everybody who tuned into the broadcast because

155
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:36,360
Speaker 1: it felt like, in some ways it laid out like

156
00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:37,760
Speaker 1: we said it was going to. Once they made that

157
00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:39,600
Speaker 1: switch to Taysom Hill and I had talked about your

158
00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:42,680
Speaker 1: height only we talked about it at quarterback and that

159
00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:44,640
Speaker 1: this would be, you know, probably the most that he

160
00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:46,560
Speaker 1: would have at quarterback all season. Once they kind of

161
00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:49,400
Speaker 1: made that switch, it was very difficult to defend and

162
00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:51,520
Speaker 1: and not surprisingly so. And and by the way, we

163
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:54,640
Speaker 1: also had success when we ran it with our quarterback,

164
00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:57,120
Speaker 1: but we just didn't, unfortunately, do that as much as

165
00:08:57,360 --> 00:08:59,720
Speaker 1: as they did. And Hills a beast and he got

166
00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:02,440
Speaker 1: come are going and they got their whole team going.

167
00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:05,800
Speaker 1: I thought that, you know, offensively, you had a chance.

168
00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:08,720
Speaker 1: I thought really to put it away early. But Amara

169
00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:10,960
Speaker 1: falls down and that touched in fourteen. Nothing would have

170
00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:14,439
Speaker 1: felt we really, we were talking in the booth that

171
00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:18,319
Speaker 1: that would have almost seemed insurmountable given the weather yep, yep,

172
00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:22,640
Speaker 1: and the way that we were playing defensively as well. Yeah,

173
00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:25,720
Speaker 1: and unfortunately, just it did not pan itself out that way,

174
00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:27,800
Speaker 1: and they were able to go out there and you know,

175
00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:30,120
Speaker 1: use the extra offensive line and they had Trevor Penny

176
00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:33,360
Speaker 1: out there for twenty snaps of their fifty four on offense.

177
00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:35,040
Speaker 1: They had the extra guy out there, and they just

178
00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:37,600
Speaker 1: ran it and ran it and ran it, and they

179
00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:41,320
Speaker 1: got after us, and unfortunately, you know, they were able

180
00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:44,000
Speaker 1: to get that win. And it was honestly, it was

181
00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:47,439
Speaker 1: a bad loss. Yeah, it was a bad loss. It

182
00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:49,640
Speaker 1: was a team that you should have beaten at home

183
00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:51,840
Speaker 1: out of their elements. They hadn't want outdoors all year.

184
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:54,440
Speaker 1: They couldn't throw the ball. The wind was clearly a factor.

185
00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:57,160
Speaker 1: Neither team could throw the ball. But their ability to

186
00:09:57,320 --> 00:09:59,680
Speaker 1: really just stick with that and run with you know,

187
00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:04,000
Speaker 1: take some hill and Camara overcame whatever we were doing

188
00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:06,559
Speaker 1: and you know, you blew it were it was ten nothing,

189
00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:08,920
Speaker 1: ten nothing lead to give seventeen non answered and that

190
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:10,880
Speaker 1: was just that was It was rough and it was

191
00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:13,640
Speaker 1: kind of in many ways a microcosm I feel like,

192
00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:16,440
Speaker 1: of of what happened this whole season, and the Browns

193
00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:18,800
Speaker 1: at the end had their chances. They dropped the ball

194
00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:23,000
Speaker 1: literally obviously incredibly difficult conditions to catch the football, and

195
00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:26,319
Speaker 1: I'm not trying to minimize that in any way, shape

196
00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:29,040
Speaker 1: or form, but certainly felt like some balls that were

197
00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:32,280
Speaker 1: catchable for the Browns and they didn't make those catches,

198
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:35,320
Speaker 1: and that ultimately proved to be the difference in this.

199
00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:37,760
Speaker 1: You know, Taysom Hill nine carries fifty six yards for them,

200
00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:40,640
Speaker 1: Watson three for twenty four for US average eight yards carry,

201
00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:42,959
Speaker 1: had a touchdown run, but we couldn't get enough going

202
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:46,000
Speaker 1: through the air. Two tipped interceptions that even each other

203
00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:50,000
Speaker 1: out for both sides. Um, just a rough game, a

204
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:52,719
Speaker 1: rough game, very disappointing game. I think if you're if

205
00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:55,839
Speaker 1: you're as a Browns fan, and disappointing season, right, I mean,

206
00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:59,320
Speaker 1: like that's really what it what it's been. Not the

207
00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:01,040
Speaker 1: last image do you want to give the fan base

208
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:05,040
Speaker 1: at No, No, And you had some you know, unlike

209
00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:08,679
Speaker 1: I thought Reggie Ragland was great in this game. Ten tackles.

210
00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:10,880
Speaker 1: It was the highest graded player on the Browns of

211
00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:14,720
Speaker 1: ProFootball focus. Um, this physicality and the run game was

212
00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:19,120
Speaker 1: readily apparent. Uh, it just it's like so many things

213
00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:22,120
Speaker 1: this year, just not enough to get the job done,

214
00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:24,400
Speaker 1: not enough to impactful plays. You know, we didn't get

215
00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:28,480
Speaker 1: a single sack in this game. Um, it was just

216
00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:30,600
Speaker 1: tough grant up at nice interception off the tip, you

217
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:33,200
Speaker 1: had good coverage from John Johnson and and then kind

218
00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:35,240
Speaker 1: of when things were good, then all of a sudden

219
00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:37,440
Speaker 1: they weren't good and then we just don't have that

220
00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:41,760
Speaker 1: that resiliency, that answer and that you know, it's just

221
00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:43,559
Speaker 1: kind of like I said, micro Cosmo, the year, let

222
00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:46,439
Speaker 1: one get away that you shouldn't have got out physical

223
00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:49,839
Speaker 1: when it mattered, got out clutched when it mattered, um

224
00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:52,920
Speaker 1: and and ultimately we're not able to overcome you know,

225
00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:55,760
Speaker 1: the deficiencies that we had, and obviously, you know, bringing

226
00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:58,960
Speaker 1: to Sean in it's I know people are upset with,

227
00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:02,600
Speaker 1: you know, the level of play that he's produced. It's

228
00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:04,760
Speaker 1: it's a work in progress, it is. But it would

229
00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:06,480
Speaker 1: be nice if we were able to play this game

230
00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:09,640
Speaker 1: in in decent weather. I mean, there was a pass

231
00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:12,520
Speaker 1: that through that the wind blew backwards and hit a

232
00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:14,680
Speaker 1: guy in the back of his head, and goodness because

233
00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:18,400
Speaker 1: he was open. But like it's it is, you're right,

234
00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:19,920
Speaker 1: it's December. But then you go when you watch some

235
00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:22,640
Speaker 1: of those games over the weekend, and you'd say the

236
00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:25,840
Speaker 1: ones that were played in decent environments actually looked like football.

237
00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:29,040
Speaker 1: The ones that were not too much. Yeah, you knew

238
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:33,000
Speaker 1: right away. Sunday we're in Washington, or landover Maryland, wherever

239
00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:36,280
Speaker 1: the heck we're going the worst press box in the NFL.

240
00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:39,840
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, way do you get a load of this one? Uh?

241
00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:47,360
Speaker 1: Fifty three and rain like it's it's been a weird

242
00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:51,319
Speaker 1: weather year fifty three and rain I was supposed to

243
00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:54,760
Speaker 1: be better weather. I think there might be rain just

244
00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:56,800
Speaker 1: in the morning. It might just be in the morning,

245
00:12:57,040 --> 00:12:59,560
Speaker 1: but fifty three. It was supposed to be in the

246
00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:02,079
Speaker 1: supposed to be around sixty and I've seen that it's

247
00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:03,760
Speaker 1: come down here a little bit over the last couple

248
00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:07,040
Speaker 1: of days Tuesday. Who knows a lot can happen, but

249
00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:12,280
Speaker 1: it just extremely disappointing, especially because you had them on

250
00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:14,800
Speaker 1: the ropes at halftime. Yeah, and you came out in

251
00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:17,080
Speaker 1: the second half and they scored, and I think we

252
00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:19,439
Speaker 1: all looked at each other and there was the they

253
00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:20,880
Speaker 1: got a two for one, A had two and they

254
00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:23,319
Speaker 1: got ten points field goal touchdown and that was and

255
00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:27,840
Speaker 1: then that's where, Yeah, just disappointing. It's been a disappointing season. Uh,

256
00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:31,360
Speaker 1: all around, this team more talent than the results have

257
00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:34,120
Speaker 1: yielded um, And I think it's you know, it falls

258
00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:36,480
Speaker 1: on everybody, right. I think there are certain situations where

259
00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:39,120
Speaker 1: the coaching and the scheme needed to be better. I

260
00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:41,120
Speaker 1: think there were certainly situations where the players in the

261
00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:43,640
Speaker 1: execution needed to be better and the performance need to

262
00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:46,040
Speaker 1: be better. And when all of that stuff is is

263
00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:47,600
Speaker 1: not at the level it needs to be, you end

264
00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:49,079
Speaker 1: up with a season like this and now you want

265
00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:51,040
Speaker 1: to go out and you want to win these last

266
00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:54,720
Speaker 1: two games. You can spoil Washington's playoff hopes. Spoil Washington.

267
00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:57,080
Speaker 1: You want to beat the Steelers in Pittsburg, Brown Steelers.

268
00:13:57,120 --> 00:13:59,080
Speaker 1: It gives you a chance to sweep the Steelers. When's

269
00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:01,560
Speaker 1: the last time we swept this Steelers. I don't know.

270
00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:04,480
Speaker 1: I would have to look. It's been a long time,

271
00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:06,880
Speaker 1: a long time, so you could. That's at least on

272
00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:10,480
Speaker 1: the because it's funny. We didn't sweep the Seiler screw,

273
00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:13,320
Speaker 1: so we can. That's what That's what you're that's where

274
00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:15,679
Speaker 1: you're at. You're out of the playoffs. You are eliminated.

275
00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:17,720
Speaker 1: That's what you have to play for. And they're gonna

276
00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:19,400
Speaker 1: be teams in the playoffs that you're gonna say, Man,

277
00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:21,400
Speaker 1: we I think at one point we were better than

278
00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:23,480
Speaker 1: those teams, but unfortunately lost a lot of them head

279
00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:26,040
Speaker 1: to head and and we blew it, blew our chances.

280
00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:29,760
Speaker 1: UM one roster update from yesterday, finally officially, though we've

281
00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:32,760
Speaker 1: been talking about it since late last week. Jack Conklin

282
00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:35,080
Speaker 1: has signed a four year contract extension with the Browns.

283
00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:37,080
Speaker 1: The right tackle who has had a very solid season

284
00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:39,760
Speaker 1: for this football team. Uh, he will be here for

285
00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:42,920
Speaker 1: a four more seasons and that gives them good depth there.

286
00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:45,040
Speaker 1: You know, you need Jed Wills to come along more,

287
00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:47,400
Speaker 1: but you've got James Hudson now backing up and and

288
00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:49,760
Speaker 1: keep your good depth at that tackle position, so that

289
00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:52,680
Speaker 1: that is a good move for the Cleveland Browns. All right,

290
00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:55,560
Speaker 1: when we come back, we're gonna hear Kevin Stefanski's press

291
00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:59,000
Speaker 1: conference from yesterday. Then give a and I will react

292
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:01,200
Speaker 1: to that. We've got one thought from every game at

293
00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:06,040
Speaker 1: one thirty, which will be a lot of fun. Oh boy.

294
00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:07,680
Speaker 1: All right, then we get the half coming in at

295
00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:10,960
Speaker 1: two o'clock for absolutely the half hour, and and there

296
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:13,320
Speaker 1: it is so lots to get to here on this show,

297
00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:16,320
Speaker 1: and we will look it is what it is right

298
00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:18,280
Speaker 1: where we are, where we are, the season is what

299
00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:19,720
Speaker 1: it is. And and and so we're still gonna have fun.

300
00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:21,800
Speaker 1: There's still plenty good football to talk about. And for

301
00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:23,880
Speaker 1: the Browns, as we talked about, still an opportunity to

302
00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:26,440
Speaker 1: to end the playoff dreams of the Washington Commanders, and

303
00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:29,960
Speaker 1: then an opportunity to sweep the Steelers, an opportunity to

304
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:33,320
Speaker 1: sweep the Pittsburgh Steelers, which is something that we'll we'll

305
00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:35,040
Speaker 1: look that up. We'll get countered and look that up

306
00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:36,960
Speaker 1: in the break. I kind of I feel like he

307
00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:40,120
Speaker 1: might even know that is with his Pittsburgh ties. It

308
00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:44,880
Speaker 1: had it wasn't when Roethlisberger was here. I don't know.

309
00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:48,600
Speaker 1: I gotta I gotta go back and look that. That

310
00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:52,080
Speaker 1: is definitely a look back into the we split which

311
00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:56,640
Speaker 1: was our best season one last year, the year we

312
00:15:57,080 --> 00:16:01,480
Speaker 1: beat out we lost Alex Mac. Do we split that? Yeah?

313
00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:10,200
Speaker 1: They beat yeah, yes, m yeah yeah, um yes, all right,

314

Speaker 1: with their families. UM. On the injury front, really, the

330
00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:18,960
Speaker 1: only thing to report is Jadeveon is still in the

331
00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:23,200
Speaker 1: concussion protocol. UM. I'll update anything else that comes out

332
00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:26,280
Speaker 1: of the next few days. On Wednesday, you know, watching

333
00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:29,119
Speaker 1: the tape, like we talked about that, there were opportunities

334
00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:32,680
Speaker 1: in that football game, UM, tough conditions for both football

335
00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:36,600
Speaker 1: teams and uh evenly match game, but in the end

336
00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:39,680
Speaker 1: didn't didn't make enough plays to win that game, which

337
00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:42,800
Speaker 1: was you know, tough, and the guys uh fought like crazy,

338
00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:46,720
Speaker 1: fought till the end. So disappointed about that. But we

339
00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:49,560
Speaker 1: know this still got some football left in US and

340
00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:52,640
Speaker 1: we know we have Washington starting this week on Sunday.

341
00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:55,680
Speaker 1: So with that, I will take any questions. Hey, Kevin,

342
00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:58,239
Speaker 1: hope you had a nice holiday as well. UM, In

343
00:17:58,359 --> 00:18:01,800
Speaker 1: terms of the last couple of games with Miles and Nick,

344
00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:04,400
Speaker 1: who have both been dealing with stuff, if you consider

345
00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:08,080
Speaker 1: sitting them for the last two yeah, those type of

346
00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:12,040
Speaker 1: conversations Tom really haven't gotten into I know this, Uh,

347
00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:15,760
Speaker 1: every single one of our players wants to compete once

348
00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:19,399
Speaker 1: the opportunity that all these Sundays provide. So UM, I

349
00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:21,360
Speaker 1: know all of our guys are excited about that, but

350
00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:24,240
Speaker 1: as far as it's type of conversations, haven't really discussed

351
00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:27,119
Speaker 1: that yet. And in reviewing Saturday's game, I know the

352
00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:31,080
Speaker 1: passing numbers probably started to skyrocket, especially because you had

353
00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:34,080
Speaker 1: to throw being behind on those last couple of drives.

354
00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:36,920
Speaker 1: But were you happy with the run pass mix? Did

355
00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:40,040
Speaker 1: you feel like the game plan was was what you

356
00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:43,480
Speaker 1: wanted it to be. Yeah, there were you know, obviously

357
00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:46,280
Speaker 1: trying to find any which way to move the ball,

358
00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:49,399
Speaker 1: trying to find ways to score points. Had some opportunities

359
00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:53,280
Speaker 1: in the run game, Uh, we probably weren't consistent enough,

360
00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:56,200
Speaker 1: especially on second down. Uh. And then just a couple

361
00:18:56,280 --> 00:18:59,920
Speaker 1: opportunities where conditions were hard and there was some third

362
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:02,320
Speaker 1: sounds where you know you were trying to throw up

363
00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:05,640
Speaker 1: but really in some tough looks. So all in all,

364
00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:08,400
Speaker 1: always trying to give our guys an opportunity to make

365
00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:11,439
Speaker 1: a play there where plays be made. Um. The the

366
00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:15,199
Speaker 1: win you know was was very strong at times and

367
00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:17,600
Speaker 1: then did die down at times as well, but tough

368
00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:21,160
Speaker 1: conditions for for really both teams. Yeah, coach and reviewing

369
00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:23,399
Speaker 1: the film, what did you you know, what did you

370
00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:27,399
Speaker 1: think of how Deshaun Watson played, how he handled the elements,

371
00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:32,760
Speaker 1: and just overall an assessment of his afternoon. Yeah, I

372
00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:37,200
Speaker 1: think you definitely consider how he played in the elements

373
00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:41,680
Speaker 1: in some very very tough situations. But that last drive

374
00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:44,960
Speaker 1: to to be on the field for that long, to

375
00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:48,159
Speaker 1: make some really really unbelievable throws in in that in

376
00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:50,480
Speaker 1: that moment um, I know, we didn't come down with

377
00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:53,159
Speaker 1: the ball. Again, it's our guys hold themselves at very

378
00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:57,040
Speaker 1: high standards. And and you know, I applauded Dave after

379
00:19:57,080 --> 00:19:59,080
Speaker 1: the game, you know, said he should make that play.

380
00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:02,879
Speaker 1: That's what he believed, um, and and and and we

381
00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:04,960
Speaker 1: know how tough it was. But for those guys to

382
00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:08,280
Speaker 1: battle in that situation, to to to have the plays

383
00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:10,159
Speaker 1: that they had late in the game, I think speaks

384
00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:13,000
Speaker 1: to how hard they're working. Does that bode well for

385
00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:16,000
Speaker 1: the future that Deshaun can uh, you know, can get

386
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:18,200
Speaker 1: the ball through some of those fierce winds and kind

387
00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:20,200
Speaker 1: of put it where it needs to go in that

388
00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:23,520
Speaker 1: type of situation. Yeah, and I think you know, obviously

389
00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:27,760
Speaker 1: that's his first time playing in those type of conditions. Again,

390
00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:29,960
Speaker 1: like I mentioned, there were at times when the wind

391
00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:32,920
Speaker 1: was very, very severe, and then late in that drive

392
00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:35,400
Speaker 1: and that two minute drive at the end there made

393
00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:39,600
Speaker 1: some really impressive throws h as the wind had died

394
00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:42,439
Speaker 1: down a bit. But to deal with those conditions for

395
00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:46,000
Speaker 1: the first time, obviously, that cold was was something that

396
00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:48,280
Speaker 1: he hasn't experienced. A lot of our guys haven't experienced

397
00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:51,679
Speaker 1: that type of cold in the football game. Kevin, another

398
00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:54,840
Speaker 1: Deshaun question, when you look back at it, could you

399
00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:58,560
Speaker 1: or should you maybe have run him more, especially considering

400
00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:01,040
Speaker 1: the same for having success with kind of those direct

401
00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:05,440
Speaker 1: snap runs. Yeah, there there were a couple opportunities Scott.

402
00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:08,879
Speaker 1: You know, to their credit, they adjusted as well, and

403
00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:11,280
Speaker 1: we're taking the safety out of the mill of field

404
00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:13,760
Speaker 1: and just playing him down for the quarterback run game,

405
00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:17,040
Speaker 1: really selling out for it. So there's always opportunities that

406
00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:21,160
Speaker 1: we're looking at um in that regard. Yes, and there

407
00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:22,560
Speaker 1: seems like there are a couple of players where he

408
00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:24,600
Speaker 1: would kind of roll out and he had a guy

409
00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:26,119
Speaker 1: in front of him, he could be the keeper or

410
00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:28,160
Speaker 1: dump it down, and a couple of times you dumped

411
00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:30,000
Speaker 1: it down, he didn't really go anywhere. Like, how do

412
00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:31,560
Speaker 1: you kind of coach him? And what do you guys

413
00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:34,200
Speaker 1: talk about the decision to keep it or get it

414
00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:37,480
Speaker 1: out of his hands? Yeah, there's those are all game

415
00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:40,960
Speaker 1: reps that I think you learn from. Uh, there's really

416
00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:43,200
Speaker 1: the one playing particularly I think you may be alluding

417
00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:45,960
Speaker 1: to with Donovan in the flat. Uh, he knew. I

418
00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:47,359
Speaker 1: think he knew it right away. You know, you can

419
00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:50,160
Speaker 1: always press the line of scrimmage as the quarterback and

420
00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:52,199
Speaker 1: and make those defenders come play you. And if they

421
00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:54,520
Speaker 1: play you, you you dish it. If they don't play you,

422
00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:58,959
Speaker 1: you run. So he understands that he's played that game before. Um.

423
00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:01,720
Speaker 1: So obviously there's places that he wishes he had done

424
00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:04,280
Speaker 1: something differently, but um, but by and large, I mean

425
00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:07,119
Speaker 1: he battled it crazy. Yeah, Kevin, we've seen you in

426
00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:10,200
Speaker 1: the past get real creative with the run game, even

427
00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:13,359
Speaker 1: using receivers, and it seemed like Saturday might have been

428
00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:18,240
Speaker 1: an opportunity to to do that. Just um, what was

429
00:22:18,280 --> 00:22:22,359
Speaker 1: your thought process on holding back on that, because if

430
00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:26,239
Speaker 1: I remember correctly, I think only uh Kareem Nick and

431
00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:29,440
Speaker 1: DeShawn ended up running the ball. Yeah, you know, there

432
00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:32,639
Speaker 1: were some things. Darrell just felt like the exchanges the

433
00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:36,680
Speaker 1: quarterback to a receiver or a running back pitching it

434
00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:39,880
Speaker 1: to a receiver just didn't feel like the conditions warranted

435
00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:43,240
Speaker 1: plays like that. I think the conditions really made you

436
00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:46,800
Speaker 1: think long and hard about center quarterback, you know, the

437
00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:49,840
Speaker 1: long snapper to the punter. All those operational things were

438
00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:53,320
Speaker 1: very front of mine. And then, um, just how do

439
00:22:53,359 --> 00:22:56,919
Speaker 1: you think Kade handled things he made? I know he

440
00:22:56,960 --> 00:23:00,199
Speaker 1: made his his couple of kicks there, but obviously some

441
00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:03,960
Speaker 1: of the home struggles that he is he's had this year,

442
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:06,280
Speaker 1: how do you think he handled things and how much

443
00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:09,640
Speaker 1: of an invaluable learning experience was that for him now

444
00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:12,800
Speaker 1: going forward playing and in those type of conditions and

445
00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:14,879
Speaker 1: that I thought he handled it well. I think, you know,

446
00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:19,159
Speaker 1: even in pregame, I think he was was handling it

447
00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:21,640
Speaker 1: really well and was kicking it well. And it's hard

448
00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:25,000
Speaker 1: because you can't mimic those conditions as you can imagine.

449
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:27,359
Speaker 1: You know, you go down to the stadium during the week,

450
00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:30,080
Speaker 1: but the winds not nearly what it's going to be. Obviously,

451
00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:31,479
Speaker 1: the coal is not where it's going to be, so

452
00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:34,840
Speaker 1: all of those reps are important for a young kicker,

453
00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:37,560
Speaker 1: Big Kevin. I know you mentioned David and Joeku being

454
00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:39,680
Speaker 1: hard on himself for not making that catch, but I

455
00:23:39,720 --> 00:23:41,840
Speaker 1: know David Bell was kind of hard on himself for

456
00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:45,639
Speaker 1: missing that catch that led to the Saint's interception and touchdown.

457
00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:47,879
Speaker 1: I guess for like a rookie, and especially a rookie

458
00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:50,680
Speaker 1: who's been kind of renowned for his hands so far

459
00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:52,879
Speaker 1: in his career, how much of a teaching moment is

460
00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:55,959
Speaker 1: this one like for him? Yeah? You know those are

461
00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:58,760
Speaker 1: the bang bang plays. We had a very similar play

462
00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:02,760
Speaker 1: on our interception to Uh that Grant got. Uh. You know,

463
00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:04,720
Speaker 1: he was stumbling a little bit coming out of his

464
00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:06,480
Speaker 1: break as he was trying to avoid a player, so

465
00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:08,399
Speaker 1: he was going to the ground. The ball was a

466
00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:11,840
Speaker 1: little more out in front because didn't anticipate to him

467
00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:15,000
Speaker 1: trying to avoid the other players. So a bang bang play,

468
00:24:15,320 --> 00:24:18,040
Speaker 1: you know. And you mentioned Davis a young man that

469
00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:24,360
Speaker 1: that we trust, the quarterbacks trust. He's been very dependable. Hey, coach, Um,

470
00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:26,080
Speaker 1: as far as we two games to go, what do

471
00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:29,159
Speaker 1: you feel like there is to accomplish? And are you

472
00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:33,320
Speaker 1: a believer that you can gain any momentum going into

473
00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:37,720
Speaker 1: the off season, you know, by finishing strong. And second,

474
00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:40,120
Speaker 1: do you look at this as an opportunity to look

475
00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:45,000
Speaker 1: at some of the younger players are just playing it straight? Well,

476
00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:48,399
Speaker 1: I think to your first point there, Fred, we do

477
00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:51,680
Speaker 1: want to finish strong. You want to finish everything you do. Um.

478
00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:55,040
Speaker 1: So we understand, you know, the scenario that we're in,

479
00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:57,719
Speaker 1: but we also understand that we have an opportunity this

480
00:24:57,760 --> 00:25:00,920
Speaker 1: week versus Washington, and we got another opportunity the final week.

481
00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:03,840
Speaker 1: So that's really where our focus is. Any of those

482
00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:08,480
Speaker 1: big picture type of conversations are for probably for another time. Hey, Kevin,

483
00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:11,320
Speaker 1: why did Miles not play that first series? That was

484
00:25:11,359 --> 00:25:15,120
Speaker 1: just a team thing. That was my decision. Okay, I

485
00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:19,080
Speaker 1: suppose you're not gonna elaborate on that, correct, And um,

486
00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:21,480
Speaker 1: why was it important for you in the organization to

487
00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:26,560
Speaker 1: resign Jack? Yeah, you know, just every we've talked about

488
00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:29,119
Speaker 1: Jack in the past, and just all the things he

489
00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:32,280
Speaker 1: stands for, and just think about, uh, the rehab that

490
00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:35,240
Speaker 1: he's gone through this past year, and how hard he

491
00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:37,720
Speaker 1: worked to get himself on the field, how hard he

492
00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:41,480
Speaker 1: works in the building. Uh, he's really a model citizen

493
00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:44,439
Speaker 1: in that regard and what we what we look for,

494
00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:46,480
Speaker 1: and he's played good football for us, So I just

495
00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:49,840
Speaker 1: felt like that was a great opportunity for us, a

496
00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:53,040
Speaker 1: great opportunity for him to get something done. Yeah, just wondering,

497
00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:57,920
Speaker 1: you know, why was it such tough sledding for Kareem Hunt? Uh,

498
00:25:58,359 --> 00:26:01,840
Speaker 1: obviously only you know it's on his seven carries? Was

499
00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:05,840
Speaker 1: it you know, the situations that he was in or

500
00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:08,080
Speaker 1: what was kind of going on there? Yeah, I don't

501
00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:12,440
Speaker 1: I don't really distinguish it, Mary Kay, between Kareem and Nick.

502
00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:15,600
Speaker 1: You know, Uh, we at times blocked it really well.

503
00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:19,879
Speaker 1: At times one or two guys really didn't uh executed

504
00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:22,880
Speaker 1: exactly how they could. And again in tough conditions and

505
00:26:22,880 --> 00:26:24,240
Speaker 1: where you had to come off the ball and it

506
00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:27,640
Speaker 1: was gonna be a lot of dirty runs and Nick

507
00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:30,000
Speaker 1: had a couple opportunities to scoot through there through some

508
00:26:30,040 --> 00:26:32,359
Speaker 1: of the holes and creamed it not. But it wasn't

509
00:26:32,359 --> 00:26:35,240
Speaker 1: for lack of effort. Yeah, Kevin. I obviously winning and

510
00:26:35,359 --> 00:26:37,879
Speaker 1: losing in the NFL is just such a real fine line.

511
00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:40,680
Speaker 1: We we've touched on the close call with with the

512
00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:43,520
Speaker 1: throw to David and stuff like that. Just seems like

513
00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:46,560
Speaker 1: that's been a little bit of an underlying theme this year.

514
00:26:47,080 --> 00:26:52,600
Speaker 1: Opportunities close, but just not able to make those key

515
00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:56,320
Speaker 1: plays just from you, from your perspective as a coach,

516
00:26:56,400 --> 00:27:00,760
Speaker 1: when you evaluate those situations, what do you think you

517
00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:03,440
Speaker 1: know you guys can do to get to a point

518
00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:07,960
Speaker 1: where you make those difference making plays when they matter

519
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:12,320
Speaker 1: the most going forward. Yeah, I think it's to your point. Listen,

520
00:27:12,359 --> 00:27:14,879
Speaker 1: They're gonna be plays in the game that are you know,

521
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:16,600
Speaker 1: game on the line, you gotta make a play. Dave

522
00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:19,359
Speaker 1: goes up versus Tampa on fourth down and makes the play.

523
00:27:20,040 --> 00:27:22,200
Speaker 1: Obviously we would have loved to have made the play

524
00:27:22,320 --> 00:27:24,320
Speaker 1: last week, But I think for us, so much of

525
00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:27,240
Speaker 1: the focus goes on those plays and and and as

526
00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:29,480
Speaker 1: a coach, I can go back to the first player,

527
00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:31,600
Speaker 1: second play of the game and talk about how we

528
00:27:31,640 --> 00:27:34,320
Speaker 1: could have done something differently, players, coaches, you name it.

529
00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:37,119
Speaker 1: So you never know when that play is gonna happen

530
00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:38,880
Speaker 1: in the course of the game that's gonna change the

531
00:27:39,040 --> 00:27:42,199
Speaker 1: course of the game. Um. And that's why the focus

532
00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:45,240
Speaker 1: really is in terms of playing a sixty minute football game.

533
00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:48,200
Speaker 1: And if you do that, if you're if you're playing

534
00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:51,879
Speaker 1: clean offense, defense, special teams, from the beginning. Maybe you

535
00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:54,760
Speaker 1: don't put yourself in the position where it's a type

536
00:27:54,760 --> 00:27:57,320
Speaker 1: ball game. So again, the guys are going to make

537
00:27:57,320 --> 00:28:00,119
Speaker 1: sure that they're working hard, understand what they have to do,

538
00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:02,040
Speaker 1: and we got just put in a position to make place.

539
00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:04,960
Speaker 1: All right. That's Brown's head coach Kevin Sefanski at the

540

Speaker 1: I may or may not have gotten one before Christmas Eve,

573
00:30:11,040 --> 00:30:13,440
Speaker 1: I thought that was McDonald's. You tweeted out, I did,

574
00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:17,320
Speaker 1: and I got that too. Knocked him all out of

576

Speaker 1: hold on poison. Okay, he's selling right now, he's doing

577
00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:26,120
Speaker 1: he's doing the good work over here, so we don't

578
00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:31,440
Speaker 1: question the veracity of of what he's doing. Taco Bell

579
00:30:31,520 --> 00:30:33,480
Speaker 1: right now. So he's saying he had taco but you're like,

580
00:30:33,520 --> 00:30:35,920
Speaker 1: you don't have Taco Bell. You had McDonald's. I got you. Well,

581
00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:39,760
Speaker 1: you just said good. I bet it was great because

582
00:30:39,760 --> 00:30:42,840
Speaker 1: the Taco Bell is great. We'll have a conversation about McDonald's.

583
00:30:45,040 --> 00:30:49,000
Speaker 1: This segment is sponsored by Taco Bell. Glad to have

584

Speaker 1: them on board. One. He's gonna get the Kobe Jones

585
00:30:51,600 --> 00:30:54,760
Speaker 1: the kid treatment over here. One thought from every game

586
00:30:54,880 --> 00:31:01,240
Speaker 1: Saturday and Sunday, maybe even a little money night as well.

587
00:31:01,600 --> 00:31:06,160
Speaker 1: All right, kicking things off late Saturday night, Christmas Eve

588
00:31:06,480 --> 00:31:10,480
Speaker 1: in the Land of Hot Dog Water, the Squealers knocking

589
00:31:10,480 --> 00:31:13,760
Speaker 1: off the Raiders to ten to keep their playoffs playoff

590
00:31:13,760 --> 00:31:16,880
Speaker 1: hopes alive. Las Vegas playoff hopes still alive as well

591
00:31:16,880 --> 00:31:18,760
Speaker 1: at six and nine. I have no idea how, but

592
00:31:19,040 --> 00:31:21,240
Speaker 1: yet they are poison. One thought from you on the

593
00:31:21,240 --> 00:31:24,400
Speaker 1: big win over the Raiders by the Pukers. I mean, yeah,

594
00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:27,280
Speaker 1: the Steelers, they just they just don't die. And we've

595
00:31:27,280 --> 00:31:29,440
Speaker 1: known that for years and and that's gonna live up

596
00:31:29,760 --> 00:31:32,320
Speaker 1: again this year. Is that, you know, this is just

597
00:31:32,320 --> 00:31:34,720
Speaker 1: how it's been under Mike Tomlin. Is they just find

598
00:31:34,760 --> 00:31:37,040
Speaker 1: ways to stay in the playoff race until the very end.

599
00:31:37,160 --> 00:31:39,760
Speaker 1: And that's what they're doing again. Um did it obviously

600
00:31:39,800 --> 00:31:43,040
Speaker 1: on a very very chilly, cold, freezing just like we

601
00:31:43,080 --> 00:31:46,240
Speaker 1: had here night in Pittsburgh. Um, you know, it took advantage.

602
00:31:46,280 --> 00:31:48,560
Speaker 1: The defense played really well, they took advantage of Derek

603
00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:52,960
Speaker 1: carthrowing three interceptions. And uh and guess what it's It's

604
00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:55,120
Speaker 1: what week seventeen now and they're still in the playoff race.

605
00:31:55,440 --> 00:31:58,239
Speaker 1: Is a girl? One thought from you Kenny pick At

606
00:31:58,280 --> 00:32:01,000
Speaker 1: three game winning drives. But I love that Pickings. I

607
00:32:01,120 --> 00:32:04,200
Speaker 1: liked him going into the draft. Did he if he

608
00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:06,160
Speaker 1: looks like a study? Made the big play when they

609
00:32:06,200 --> 00:32:08,680
Speaker 1: needed on nice little slant route. Got a good pass

610
00:32:08,720 --> 00:32:12,360
Speaker 1: obviously from Kenny Pickett as well. The Steelers, they just

611
00:32:12,920 --> 00:32:15,320
Speaker 1: they just figure out how to win under Mike Tomlin.

612
00:32:15,360 --> 00:32:18,280
Speaker 1: It's crazy, it really is it's wild because they're not

613
00:32:18,320 --> 00:32:21,040
Speaker 1: a good football team, and the Raiders are just talk

614
00:32:21,080 --> 00:32:22,440
Speaker 1: about a team that is less than the some of

615
00:32:22,440 --> 00:32:24,160
Speaker 1: its parts. I mean. And then look, we're sitting here

616
00:32:24,160 --> 00:32:26,120
Speaker 1: and you can't throw you know, living glass houses, you

617
00:32:26,160 --> 00:32:29,240
Speaker 1: can't throw stones. But the Raiders have been dreadful given

618
00:32:29,280 --> 00:32:31,480
Speaker 1: what they should have been this year. Squealers were dead

619
00:32:31,520 --> 00:32:33,479
Speaker 1: and buried. We thought that Tomlin was going to get

620
00:32:33,520 --> 00:32:36,520
Speaker 1: his first losing season, as I had coach. He still

621
00:32:36,560 --> 00:32:39,440
Speaker 1: can still can't. We should, we should be trying to

622
00:32:39,440 --> 00:32:41,640
Speaker 1: make sure that that does not have very much in

623
00:32:41,760 --> 00:32:45,000
Speaker 1: Week eighteen late day games. By the way, the NFL

624
00:32:45,080 --> 00:32:48,240
Speaker 1: towing Washington no favors. It's one thing if you have

625
00:32:48,320 --> 00:32:50,640
Speaker 1: to travel when you play on Christmas Eve. We've had

626
00:32:50,640 --> 00:32:52,880
Speaker 1: to do it Chicago a couple of years ago, and

627
00:32:53,480 --> 00:32:56,480
Speaker 1: a few other places Christmas Eve. It's a whole another

628
00:32:56,880 --> 00:32:58,760
Speaker 1: to go to the West Coast and then have to

629
00:32:58,840 --> 00:33:02,200
Speaker 1: fly all night and then you're a vegetable all day

630
00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:06,040
Speaker 1: on Christmas Day. The Commies had to do that is

631
00:33:06,320 --> 00:33:10,560
Speaker 1: thirty seven Commies twenty Washington. UH got to take care

632
00:33:10,560 --> 00:33:13,000
Speaker 1: of some business. This is a big week game for them,

633
00:33:13,120 --> 00:33:15,640
Speaker 1: a big week for them. Versus the Browns forty. Niners

634
00:33:15,720 --> 00:33:18,960
Speaker 1: continue to put themselves in a nice little position to

635
00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:21,280
Speaker 1: make a playoff runs A girl one thought from you, Yeah,

636
00:33:21,280 --> 00:33:25,560
Speaker 1: the Niners are ridiculous. Brock Purty now the second quarterback

637
00:33:25,560 --> 00:33:27,840
Speaker 1: since nineteen fifty to start three and oh with multiple

638
00:33:27,920 --> 00:33:30,800
Speaker 1: touchdown passes in each of his first three career starts.

639
00:33:31,120 --> 00:33:35,600
Speaker 1: The other Hall of Famer in nine Kurt Warner, when

640
00:33:35,600 --> 00:33:36,960
Speaker 1: he won the m v P and the Super Bowl

641
00:33:37,080 --> 00:33:39,720
Speaker 1: m VP that season, which was also his first. The

642
00:33:39,800 --> 00:33:42,480
Speaker 1: Niners defense is so good it's wild. They're gonna get

643
00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:45,600
Speaker 1: debo back. They are. I think, are they the best

644
00:33:45,640 --> 00:33:47,640
Speaker 1: team in the NFL right now? I think they very well?

645
00:33:47,680 --> 00:33:53,480
Speaker 1: Maybe since you can. Yeah, Cincinnati though the way that

646
00:33:53,520 --> 00:33:55,320
Speaker 1: they and we'll get to that game later on, but

647
00:33:55,400 --> 00:33:58,600
Speaker 1: they were up twenty two to nothing. Yeah, they took

648
00:33:58,640 --> 00:34:01,760
Speaker 1: their foot off. Got to be careful. That's still that's

649
00:34:01,760 --> 00:34:05,360
Speaker 1: still not good. Niners are stomping everybody. And the Patriots

650
00:34:05,360 --> 00:34:08,279
Speaker 1: still had a chance to very much win that. I mean,

651
00:34:08,320 --> 00:34:10,839
Speaker 1: if it wasn't for that fumble, they would have had

652
00:34:10,840 --> 00:34:13,600
Speaker 1: it there. But but no, uh, Brock party, I think

653
00:34:13,719 --> 00:34:15,960
Speaker 1: is I mean you just read off that stat Nathan

654
00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:18,600
Speaker 1: like he's he's the real deal, I think right like

655
00:34:18,680 --> 00:34:21,560
Speaker 1: he's he's definitely gonna help the Niners win in the postseason.

656
00:34:21,560 --> 00:34:22,960
Speaker 1: I know a couple of weeks ago we were like

657
00:34:23,040 --> 00:34:25,480
Speaker 1: kind of coming back to practice this week too. Yeah,

658
00:34:25,520 --> 00:34:28,280
Speaker 1: I mean they're only going to get better in that way. So, um,

659
00:34:28,320 --> 00:34:31,040
Speaker 1: I think he has a real shot of potentially making

660
00:34:31,080 --> 00:34:33,160
Speaker 1: Trey Lance a backup QB next year if he's able

661
00:34:33,160 --> 00:34:34,960
Speaker 1: to win a few more playoff games. I don't really

662
00:34:34,960 --> 00:34:38,280
Speaker 1: know if there's even an argument for it. So um,

663
00:34:38,320 --> 00:34:40,440
Speaker 1: you know, the Commanders also had a top five defense

664
00:34:40,840 --> 00:34:42,839
Speaker 1: and they still put up thirty seven. This wasn't just

665
00:34:42,920 --> 00:34:45,000
Speaker 1: another you know, kind of like a squeaky win. This

666
00:34:45,040 --> 00:34:48,879
Speaker 1: was this was a dominant win. Um, So I think

667
00:34:48,920 --> 00:34:50,759
Speaker 1: that I think you're right now. I think Niners have

668
00:34:51,239 --> 00:34:52,880
Speaker 1: a legit argument to be the top team in the

669
00:34:52,960 --> 00:34:54,960
Speaker 1: league right now, and they'll be just finding the playoffs

670
00:34:55,120 --> 00:34:57,799
Speaker 1: all right. On we go to the NFC East, the

671
00:34:57,840 --> 00:35:03,239
Speaker 1: Eagles victory parade and uh NFC East clinching parade. Well,

672
00:35:03,400 --> 00:35:05,239
Speaker 1: I think they've won the NFC East, but they have

673
00:35:05,280 --> 00:35:08,600
Speaker 1: not clinched the number one seed. That is on hold

674
00:35:08,640 --> 00:35:11,479
Speaker 1: for another week. After Dallas goes in and knocks off

675
00:35:11,520 --> 00:35:14,840
Speaker 1: the Eagles fort thirty four. The final score is a

676
00:35:14,920 --> 00:35:17,319
Speaker 1: girl one thought from you, what a fun game this was.

677
00:35:17,680 --> 00:35:20,640
Speaker 1: This game was a ton of fun to watch. What

678
00:35:20,719 --> 00:35:23,520
Speaker 1: resilience by the Dallas Cowboys. He thought maybe after that

679
00:35:23,560 --> 00:35:25,439
Speaker 1: early pick six that would be it and then Dac

680
00:35:25,640 --> 00:35:30,319
Speaker 1: was unreal seed lamb A J. Brown, DeVante Smith. You

681
00:35:30,360 --> 00:35:33,400
Speaker 1: want just like stars in this game. I thought Minshew

682
00:35:33,440 --> 00:35:36,759
Speaker 1: played well. Um obviously couldn't get it done at the end.

683
00:35:36,800 --> 00:35:40,040
Speaker 1: There he was close did He played very very well.

684
00:35:40,160 --> 00:35:46,960
Speaker 1: It was just awesome, fun game, great fantasy game. It

685
00:35:47,080 --> 00:35:49,239
Speaker 1: had everything you wanted. Best game of the weekend, Yeah,

686
00:35:49,320 --> 00:35:51,319
Speaker 1: for sure. I The thing that I think I take

687
00:35:51,360 --> 00:35:52,880
Speaker 1: away most from that is really I just hope that

688
00:35:52,920 --> 00:35:54,759
Speaker 1: they play again in the postseason, and I hope they

689
00:35:54,760 --> 00:35:56,640
Speaker 1: play again in the postseason with Jalen Hurts as the

690
00:35:56,719 --> 00:36:00,000
Speaker 1: quarterback because I think that the Eagles can would probably

691
00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:01,759
Speaker 1: we have won that game if Jalen Hurts was the QB.

692
00:36:01,960 --> 00:36:05,400
Speaker 1: Although it's not saying gardnerments you didn't play bad. He

693
00:36:05,440 --> 00:36:07,759
Speaker 1: played great. Um. I just think that game can be

694
00:36:07,760 --> 00:36:10,880
Speaker 1: even better if Jalen Hurts is is under center for Philly. Um.

695
00:36:10,920 --> 00:36:12,560
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, what a great shootout. I just I

696
00:36:12,600 --> 00:36:14,279
Speaker 1: hope we get another rematch of that. And the so

697
00:36:14,680 --> 00:36:16,960
Speaker 1: this game was in Dallas. Dallas is eight and one

698
00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:19,160
Speaker 1: at home, three and three on the road. They're probably

699
00:36:19,200 --> 00:36:21,000
Speaker 1: gonna have to go on the road for the entire

700
00:36:21,320 --> 00:36:24,680
Speaker 1: duration of the NFL playoffs, and yet Tampa Bay, who

701
00:36:24,680 --> 00:36:27,480
Speaker 1: has a losing record, get at home game. Have you

702
00:36:27,480 --> 00:36:30,960
Speaker 1: guys garbage you bring it up with a hof later on? Yeah,

703
00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:33,959
Speaker 1: have you guys talked about just had an argument about

704
00:36:33,960 --> 00:36:36,040
Speaker 1: whether or not a team with a record that bad,

705
00:36:36,239 --> 00:36:38,319
Speaker 1: even though a division like that's been an argument that

706
00:36:38,320 --> 00:36:40,960
Speaker 1: people have been having all week about whether they annual tradition,

707
00:36:41,640 --> 00:36:43,920
Speaker 1: there's at least one hot garbage team that shouldn't be

708
00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:51,000
Speaker 1: hosting a playoff game, whatever it um. By the way,

709
00:36:51,040 --> 00:36:53,879
Speaker 1: that was Philly's first road loss of the year, So

710
00:36:54,120 --> 00:36:57,120
Speaker 1: they were seven and of going into the gate on

711
00:36:57,160 --> 00:37:01,640
Speaker 1: the road. Impressive indeed by the Dallas Cowboys. The Buffalo

712
00:37:01,719 --> 00:37:05,720
Speaker 1: Bills thirty five, the Chicago Bears thirteen. Bears now three

713
00:37:05,920 --> 00:37:11,319
Speaker 1: and twelve on the season, Buffalo twelve and three and

714
00:37:12,239 --> 00:37:15,000
Speaker 1: trying to buy for that number one seed points out

715
00:37:15,040 --> 00:37:17,239
Speaker 1: one thought from you, Yeah, I think the biggest thing

716
00:37:17,239 --> 00:37:19,239
Speaker 1: for me, here is just that the Bill's defense is

717
00:37:19,320 --> 00:37:21,400
Speaker 1: really peeking at the right time, which bodes well for

718
00:37:21,400 --> 00:37:22,919
Speaker 1: how they're going to do in the playoffs. They haven't

719
00:37:22,920 --> 00:37:24,399
Speaker 1: allowed I went back and look at this. They haven't

720
00:37:24,400 --> 00:37:26,520
Speaker 1: a lot more than thirty points in the last six games,

721
00:37:26,560 --> 00:37:27,880
Speaker 1: all of them have been wins. There on a six

722
00:37:27,960 --> 00:37:29,680
Speaker 1: game win streak now, and they haven't allowed more than

723
00:37:30,200 --> 00:37:32,279
Speaker 1: a hundred rushing yards in five of those games. So

724
00:37:32,280 --> 00:37:34,959
Speaker 1: they're playing really well against They played some good running backs,

725
00:37:34,960 --> 00:37:36,919
Speaker 1: not time to Nick Chubb was one of them, um,

726
00:37:37,160 --> 00:37:38,960
Speaker 1: and they're just seems like this is they're peaking at

727
00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:40,919
Speaker 1: the right time for the playoffs, which the same comp

728
00:37:40,920 --> 00:37:42,200
Speaker 1: be said about a lot of the teams that have

729
00:37:42,239 --> 00:37:44,440
Speaker 1: been at that in that top tier all year. And

730
00:37:44,480 --> 00:37:46,920
Speaker 1: I just think, you know, A thirteen went over the

731
00:37:46,920 --> 00:37:49,640
Speaker 1: Bears shows that even more. The girl I was most

732
00:37:49,680 --> 00:37:52,560
Speaker 1: impressed by their running attack. When they can do that,

733
00:37:52,800 --> 00:37:55,200
Speaker 1: I feel like they would be unstoppable on offense. Cooking

734
00:37:55,239 --> 00:37:58,359
Speaker 1: singletary twenty three carries, two hundred and five yards, two touchdowns,

735
00:37:58,360 --> 00:38:00,680
Speaker 1: just like a cook breakout game. It seems like it's happening.

736
00:38:00,719 --> 00:38:03,680
Speaker 1: It's been it's been kind of bubbling to the surface,

737
00:38:03,719 --> 00:38:05,479
Speaker 1: but then they never fully commit to it. I feel

738
00:38:05,480 --> 00:38:08,320
Speaker 1: like Cook could be star. I mean one of the

739
00:38:08,360 --> 00:38:10,000
Speaker 1: Bills ever committed to a ruin back. Like I think,

740
00:38:10,040 --> 00:38:12,320
Speaker 1: like it's good that they're going to have a variety

741
00:38:12,320 --> 00:38:14,399
Speaker 1: of guys. You want to have that guy, now tell

742
00:38:14,400 --> 00:38:16,479
Speaker 1: you what. They better get one and they better figure

743
00:38:16,520 --> 00:38:20,280
Speaker 1: out who they're writting with. Well, it's gonna be Singletary

744
00:38:20,360 --> 00:38:22,560
Speaker 1: or Cook for sure, but you know Cook's ready I

745
00:38:22,560 --> 00:38:25,239
Speaker 1: think to be a real Yeah. By the way, the

746
00:38:25,280 --> 00:38:29,479
Speaker 1: Bills maintained that number one overall seed. However, the tough

747
00:38:29,520 --> 00:38:31,880
Speaker 1: test comes a week from now when they go to

748
00:38:31,960 --> 00:38:35,280
Speaker 1: the Natty, the Nasty Natty to battle the Bengals. Alright,

749
00:38:35,480 --> 00:38:40,160
Speaker 1: Baltimore seventeen Falcons, nine Ravens continue to find ways to win.

750
00:38:40,520 --> 00:38:42,880
Speaker 1: They clinch a playoff spot now ten and five on

751
00:38:42,920 --> 00:38:46,479
Speaker 1: the years A girl one thought from you again enough

752
00:38:46,520 --> 00:38:49,359
Speaker 1: to win? Not pretty. They got to get Lamar Jackson back.

753
00:38:49,400 --> 00:38:50,719
Speaker 1: Gets weird. How they said he was going to be

754
00:38:50,760 --> 00:38:52,759
Speaker 1: back and then now that's so sure And if this

755
00:38:52,840 --> 00:38:56,120
Speaker 1: happened last year, yeah, this this went through the whole

756
00:38:56,120 --> 00:38:58,520
Speaker 1: month of December. He missed like the last six Maybe

757
00:38:58,560 --> 00:39:00,640
Speaker 1: you'll play, Maybe you won't play, and it's not good

758
00:39:00,680 --> 00:39:03,280
Speaker 1: that this is. You know, the contract is all looming

759
00:39:03,280 --> 00:39:05,960
Speaker 1: behind what's going to happen, and that's part of the problem.

760
00:39:06,040 --> 00:39:07,799
Speaker 1: He's gonna end up with the Jets. That's my hot take.

761
00:39:07,840 --> 00:39:12,640
Speaker 1: That's something called to Tampa. I mean, I think somewhere else.

762
00:39:12,680 --> 00:39:15,000
Speaker 1: I think the raven still franchise tag. I think they're

763
00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:17,160
Speaker 1: going to trade him. It sounds like that's a lot

764
00:39:17,200 --> 00:39:19,160
Speaker 1: of people talking about that. That's the way out there.

765
00:39:19,719 --> 00:39:21,640
Speaker 1: One thing that stood out to me was that DeMarcus

766
00:39:21,719 --> 00:39:24,640
Speaker 1: Robinson scored the only touchdown the game, first wide receiver

767
00:39:24,680 --> 00:39:28,160
Speaker 1: of the Ravens to catch a touchdown since Week three. Yeah,

768
00:39:28,200 --> 00:39:34,839
Speaker 1: that's crazy. That's the ahead of fantasy team. Congratulations. If

769
00:39:34,880 --> 00:39:38,720
Speaker 1: you're starting him in a playoff team, then something bad happened. Yeah,

770
00:39:38,760 --> 00:39:43,000
Speaker 1: there were plenty of bad things all right. Carolina continues

771
00:39:43,360 --> 00:39:45,719
Speaker 1: to stay in the mix and they've set themselves up

772
00:39:45,719 --> 00:39:48,680
Speaker 1: with a big matchup with Tampa Bay on Sunday. Winner

773
00:39:48,840 --> 00:39:52,359
Speaker 1: pretty much taking all here. Carolina takes down the red

774
00:39:52,360 --> 00:39:55,719
Speaker 1: hot Detroit Lions thirty seven three points out. One thought

775
00:39:55,760 --> 00:39:58,240
Speaker 1: from you, I think Sam Darnold might be playing himself

776
00:39:58,280 --> 00:40:00,759
Speaker 1: into an opportunity to start again for line next year.

777
00:40:00,800 --> 00:40:03,280
Speaker 1: And um, he's three and one since he's came back.

778
00:40:03,560 --> 00:40:06,520
Speaker 1: Um hasn't necessarily been you know, blowing the roof off

779
00:40:06,560 --> 00:40:08,600
Speaker 1: the place. But obviously a three and one record when

780
00:40:08,640 --> 00:40:10,080
Speaker 1: a team like the Panthers is in the middle of

781
00:40:10,120 --> 00:40:13,400
Speaker 1: a playoff hunt is is pretty impressive. So um, And

782
00:40:13,440 --> 00:40:16,040
Speaker 1: I'm not saying it's it'll be great for Sam Donald

783
00:40:16,040 --> 00:40:18,080
Speaker 1: to be back for Carolina next year if that happens,

784
00:40:18,080 --> 00:40:20,759
Speaker 1: But I don't know how they're maybe going to get

785
00:40:20,760 --> 00:40:23,239
Speaker 1: a better quarterback than that, considering their draft position might

786
00:40:23,239 --> 00:40:25,520
Speaker 1: not be that high with the way that they've played,

787
00:40:25,520 --> 00:40:27,640
Speaker 1: and and I don't know what you know cap wise

788
00:40:27,640 --> 00:40:29,839
Speaker 1: and free agency what they do. So if Sam donnad

789
00:40:29,880 --> 00:40:32,480
Speaker 1: keeps playing well and even gets some spot in the playoffs,

790
00:40:32,480 --> 00:40:35,239
Speaker 1: and yeah, he's gonna be around next year. Last week

791
00:40:35,280 --> 00:40:37,640
Speaker 1: they couldn't run the ball. This week they could run

792
00:40:37,640 --> 00:40:41,880
Speaker 1: it like crazy. The Carolina Panthers so wild. Steve Wilkes

793
00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:43,879
Speaker 1: doing a heck of a job. He's doing a heck

794
00:40:43,880 --> 00:40:47,560
Speaker 1: of a job there. Um. Disappointing loss though for the Lions.

795
00:40:47,560 --> 00:40:49,200
Speaker 1: If you're the lines, you needed this was a game

796
00:40:49,239 --> 00:40:52,080
Speaker 1: that you wanted to to win and be able to

797
00:40:52,080 --> 00:40:53,839
Speaker 1: continue to control your own destiny, and they just got

798
00:40:53,920 --> 00:40:56,520
Speaker 1: beaten up by the Panthers all right up next, the

799
00:40:56,640 --> 00:41:01,080
Speaker 1: Vikings hold on yet again. The Giants. What seemed like

800
00:41:01,640 --> 00:41:05,200
Speaker 1: a horrible loss not so horrible considering everybody else in

801
00:41:05,239 --> 00:41:07,879
Speaker 1: the NFC did them a favor and lost as well.

802
00:41:08,040 --> 00:41:11,439
Speaker 1: Vikings seven, Giants four. As a girl, one thought, why

803
00:41:11,760 --> 00:41:14,759
Speaker 1: in the world did the Detroit Lions trade t J

804
00:41:14,960 --> 00:41:21,960
Speaker 1: Hockenson at all number two in their own division? What

805
00:41:22,520 --> 00:41:27,000
Speaker 1: It's stupefying. Thirteen catches, a hundred nine and yards and

806
00:41:27,040 --> 00:41:29,160
Speaker 1: two touchdowns. He's had at least three catches every game

807
00:41:29,200 --> 00:41:32,400
Speaker 1: that he's been with the Vikings. He's been huge. Justin Jefferson,

808
00:41:32,719 --> 00:41:36,320
Speaker 1: it's like giving him another weapon. And now they've got Hockinson, Jefferson,

809
00:41:36,480 --> 00:41:39,000
Speaker 1: Cook and then Feeland can still make plays. Osborne makes

810
00:41:39,000 --> 00:41:43,839
Speaker 1: plays at times absolutely insane. The Vikings they win close games,

811
00:41:43,880 --> 00:41:46,000
Speaker 1: they're gonna have that belief even into the playoffs, even

812
00:41:46,040 --> 00:41:49,960
Speaker 1: though they haven't been great. But he's unbelievable. Justin Jefferson,

813
00:41:50,080 --> 00:41:52,719
Speaker 1: by the way, has the single season receiving yard record,

814
00:41:52,800 --> 00:41:55,239
Speaker 1: breaking Randy Mosses from two thousand and three, and there's

815
00:41:55,239 --> 00:41:57,640
Speaker 1: still two games to go that Offensive Player of the

816
00:41:57,719 --> 00:41:59,160
Speaker 1: year one. I would know that we're not allowed to

817
00:41:59,239 --> 00:42:01,360
Speaker 1: being NFL and ease, but that would have been my

818
00:42:01,440 --> 00:42:03,600
Speaker 1: big red winner this year. I had Jefferson in our

819
00:42:03,640 --> 00:42:06,160
Speaker 1: pre season Offensive Player of the Year. Oh yeah, that

820
00:42:06,200 --> 00:42:08,120
Speaker 1: would have been the good case. I mean, I don't

821
00:42:08,160 --> 00:42:09,680
Speaker 1: think you can rule the Vikings out for the number

822
00:42:09,680 --> 00:42:11,600
Speaker 1: one seat at this point either. I know the Eagles

823
00:42:11,640 --> 00:42:13,640
Speaker 1: have been in that spot all right, but with the

824
00:42:13,680 --> 00:42:15,960
Speaker 1: way the Vikings are playing eleven and oh and one

825
00:42:16,040 --> 00:42:18,440
Speaker 1: score games this year, which is an all time record,

826
00:42:18,520 --> 00:42:20,440
Speaker 1: that's just insane if you think about it, right, So

827
00:42:21,080 --> 00:42:24,160
Speaker 1: I would not beeple in the Vikings out to it

828
00:42:24,239 --> 00:42:27,359
Speaker 1: should be a gimmea. But they host the Saints on Sunday, right,

829
00:42:27,960 --> 00:42:30,239
Speaker 1: so in the Saints still with something to play for.

830
00:42:30,440 --> 00:42:32,200
Speaker 1: And I know Minshew played well, but as long as

831
00:42:32,280 --> 00:42:34,879
Speaker 1: Hurts is out, that Eagles team is still not as

832
00:42:35,360 --> 00:42:38,239
Speaker 1: capable I think as it would be with hurt sinning.

833
00:42:38,280 --> 00:42:40,440
Speaker 1: All right, we're gonna rotate, guys since we're up against

834
00:42:40,480 --> 00:42:45,600
Speaker 1: Itzigura Chiefs, twenty four Seahawks, ten Seahawks fall the seven

835
00:42:45,680 --> 00:42:48,399
Speaker 1: and eight Gina Smith fallen back to reality a little

836
00:42:48,440 --> 00:42:51,360
Speaker 1: bit Chiefs. They finally beat somebody by double digits, but

837
00:42:51,400 --> 00:42:53,200
Speaker 1: it still feels like they could be doing a lot more.

838
00:42:53,360 --> 00:42:55,040
Speaker 1: Every week they're kind of just it feels like they're

839
00:42:55,040 --> 00:42:59,520
Speaker 1: in cruise control. Uh a p Bengals twenty two, Patriots eighteen.

840
00:42:59,520 --> 00:43:01,200
Speaker 1: I knows a girl, Actually you have a thought on this,

841
00:43:01,280 --> 00:43:02,920
Speaker 1: I'll come back to you. Yeah, I mean, I keep

842
00:43:02,960 --> 00:43:04,959
Speaker 1: going really big picture with some of these, just because

843
00:43:04,960 --> 00:43:06,080
Speaker 1: it's the end of the year and you kind of

844
00:43:06,160 --> 00:43:08,800
Speaker 1: really know where teams are going to end the season.

845
00:43:08,880 --> 00:43:10,920
Speaker 1: But how much better can the Patriots really get over

846
00:43:10,920 --> 00:43:12,640
Speaker 1: the next two years than this? Right? I mean, they're

847
00:43:12,680 --> 00:43:15,040
Speaker 1: very clearly a five team. It feels like that's their ceiling.

848
00:43:15,080 --> 00:43:17,520
Speaker 1: With Mac Jones as a QB. They like big playmakers

849
00:43:17,560 --> 00:43:20,399
Speaker 1: outside of Romandre Stevenson, who didn't even have a good game.

850
00:43:20,440 --> 00:43:22,239
Speaker 1: And uh and and now they're in a division where

851
00:43:22,280 --> 00:43:24,359
Speaker 1: three other teams all appear to have long term futures. Right,

852
00:43:24,680 --> 00:43:27,960
Speaker 1: Big Robert Crafts got some decisions to make hear this offseason.

853
00:43:28,000 --> 00:43:30,200
Speaker 1: So yeah, by the way, this this stat Marcus Jones

854
00:43:30,280 --> 00:43:33,440
Speaker 1: receiving touchdown, punt return, touchdown, interception return touchdown as a rookie.

855
00:43:33,480 --> 00:43:35,080
Speaker 1: Only other player in the Super Bowl here to score

856
00:43:35,080 --> 00:43:37,719
Speaker 1: forty plus yard touchdowns each of those ways in his

857
00:43:37,960 --> 00:43:40,440
Speaker 1: entire career, not just the one season, in his entire career.

858
00:43:43,040 --> 00:43:49,280
Speaker 1: It's got to be Neon dion a p somehow, Houston

859
00:43:49,360 --> 00:43:52,239
Speaker 1: Texans one another game. I mean, they've been knocking on

860
00:43:52,280 --> 00:43:54,280
Speaker 1: the door for a couple of weeks, but they finally

861
00:43:54,320 --> 00:43:56,840
Speaker 1: get one, and they do show at the hands of

862
00:43:56,960 --> 00:43:59,560
Speaker 1: the Tennessee Titans. This game was delayed two hours because

863
00:43:59,600 --> 00:44:03,279
Speaker 1: they didn't have enough power to the sim shut down. Yeah,

864
00:44:04,080 --> 00:44:08,279
Speaker 1: the power grid was out. Texans nineteen, Titans fourteen. Yeah.

865
00:44:08,320 --> 00:44:10,160
Speaker 1: I mean, this I think was a lot bigger with

866
00:44:10,239 --> 00:44:12,319
Speaker 1: reflection on where the Titans are going, more so than

867
00:44:12,360 --> 00:44:14,480
Speaker 1: where the Texans are going. I think we've seen why

868
00:44:15,160 --> 00:44:17,440
Speaker 1: Mike Willis wasn't drafted until the third round and why

869
00:44:17,480 --> 00:44:19,640
Speaker 1: he slid that far in the It's still a small

870
00:44:19,680 --> 00:44:21,239
Speaker 1: sample size, but I don't even know if he's throwing

871
00:44:21,239 --> 00:44:23,160
Speaker 1: his first career touchdown yet. Um, if he's the next

872
00:44:23,200 --> 00:44:24,920
Speaker 1: guy in Tennessee, and I think that's far from a

873
00:44:25,000 --> 00:44:26,800
Speaker 1: lock that he is, that it's going to take a

874
00:44:26,880 --> 00:44:28,279
Speaker 1: lot of time and a lot of growth for the

875
00:44:28,360 --> 00:44:30,600
Speaker 1: Titans to to be able to compete with the way

876
00:44:30,640 --> 00:44:32,319
Speaker 1: the Jags are playing right now, and with the picks

877
00:44:32,360 --> 00:44:33,880
Speaker 1: that the Texans are going to have and everything, so

878
00:44:34,719 --> 00:44:39,479
Speaker 1: I would expect if this holds out, Titans Jags Week

879
00:44:39,840 --> 00:44:42,880
Speaker 1: eight team will be your Sunday Night football game, winner,

880
00:44:42,920 --> 00:44:48,320
Speaker 1: take all, loser, probably out. I'm not kid, that's that's that,

881
00:44:49,600 --> 00:44:52,400
Speaker 1: But that's what Sunday Night football. They want the winning in.

882
00:44:52,560 --> 00:44:55,200
Speaker 1: They don't need like the Bengals in the ring. Is

883
00:44:55,360 --> 00:44:57,840
Speaker 1: enough of an attraction? Yeah, yeah, I guess it's the

884
00:44:57,920 --> 00:45:00,319
Speaker 1: winning in. I would bet money that that's your day night.

885
00:45:00,360 --> 00:45:03,400
Speaker 1: And what Trevor Lawrence is. He's fun to watch right

886
00:45:03,440 --> 00:45:05,120
Speaker 1: now and he's been fun to watch the last what

887
00:45:05,400 --> 00:45:09,120
Speaker 1: month of two now? So's the girl? Christmas Day? Tampa

888
00:45:09,200 --> 00:45:14,360
Speaker 1: Bay nineteen, Arizona sixteen in overtime gross can mixed sorely gross,

889
00:45:14,520 --> 00:45:17,800
Speaker 1: get called McCoy back in there. Clearly concussion probably call disgusting.

890
00:45:18,640 --> 00:45:21,880
Speaker 1: I don't know what Tom Brady and that team, uh a,

891
00:45:22,040 --> 00:45:28,799
Speaker 1: p This one was more gross Rams fifty one Broncos fourteen. Yeah,

892
00:45:28,960 --> 00:45:31,520
Speaker 1: almost maybe watch the NBA. You have to give Baker

893
00:45:31,560 --> 00:45:33,400
Speaker 1: a lot of credit for what's been a you know,

894
00:45:33,440 --> 00:45:35,640
Speaker 1: a pretty impressive start in l A Um, you know,

895
00:45:35,680 --> 00:45:37,520
Speaker 1: he's helped him get get them two wins. Now he's

896
00:45:37,560 --> 00:45:39,480
Speaker 1: he's starting just one reception. I think in the three

897
00:45:39,640 --> 00:45:41,920
Speaker 1: or or four games, maybe it's been and um, he

898
00:45:42,040 --> 00:45:43,920
Speaker 1: just helped the Rams top fifty points against the top

899
00:45:44,000 --> 00:45:46,759
Speaker 1: five defense. And the fact that he is doing this

900
00:45:46,840 --> 00:45:49,080
Speaker 1: all in a crash course with the Sean McVeigh offense

901
00:45:49,160 --> 00:45:51,720
Speaker 1: is is pretty impressive. Game of the day on Christmas,

902
00:45:51,840 --> 00:45:56,279
Speaker 1: Packers twenty six, Dolphins twenties. A girl one thought these

903
00:45:56,360 --> 00:45:59,520
Speaker 1: young receivers are so good all around the league. Wattle even,

904
00:45:59,560 --> 00:46:01,399
Speaker 1: I thought bats and then he got knocked out there.

905
00:46:01,440 --> 00:46:03,520
Speaker 1: But don't count out the Packers, and that's a team

906
00:46:03,560 --> 00:46:05,840
Speaker 1: nobody wants to face if they do get into the playoffs.

907
00:46:05,880 --> 00:46:09,640
Speaker 1: Their d is good, Rodgers is okay, by Ahuasca is

908
00:46:09,640 --> 00:46:11,759
Speaker 1: farther enough out of his system, so I think he's

909
00:46:11,760 --> 00:46:14,479
Speaker 1: starting to play a lot better. That is one thought

910
00:46:14,560 --> 00:46:18,160
Speaker 1: from Week sixteen in the NFL. And again it's sponsored

911

Speaker 1: not half. Joe Thomas joining us live. What's up? Half?

929
00:47:30,000 --> 00:47:32,320
Speaker 1: What's going on? Ze? It's good to be chatting with

930
00:47:32,480 --> 00:47:36,120
Speaker 1: you after a few days under the weather. The Christmas

931
00:47:36,280 --> 00:47:38,680
Speaker 1: was not as joyful as we had hoped. I think

932
00:47:38,719 --> 00:47:42,120
Speaker 1: I got whatever you had uh last week over the

933
00:47:42,200 --> 00:47:44,800
Speaker 1: Christmas holiday season, and I'm just starting to feel a

934
00:47:44,920 --> 00:47:47,840
Speaker 1: little bit better right now. Yeah, and so I got it.

935
00:47:47,960 --> 00:47:51,719
Speaker 1: I started to feel it last Saturday night and then

936
00:47:51,880 --> 00:47:54,360
Speaker 1: Sunday probably when it first started the Sunday after the

937
00:47:55,000 --> 00:47:56,600
Speaker 1: what game was at not the Saints game, the week

938
00:47:56,640 --> 00:47:59,640
Speaker 1: before the Ravens game. Sunday after the Ravens game, I'll

939
00:47:59,680 --> 00:48:01,840
Speaker 1: be that's with you off. It's now that Tuesday, so

940
00:48:01,920 --> 00:48:05,600
Speaker 1: we're a day ten. I'm still not I don't know what.

941
00:48:05,719 --> 00:48:08,680
Speaker 1: This thing was very nasty, but I'm planning on getting

942
00:48:08,680 --> 00:48:10,040
Speaker 1: back in the gym today though. This will be the

943
00:48:10,040 --> 00:48:12,439
Speaker 1: first time I've been able even felt like I could

944
00:48:12,480 --> 00:48:13,800
Speaker 1: get in the gym, and that's what i want to do.

945
00:48:14,000 --> 00:48:16,719
Speaker 1: So that's what I'm gonna do, so you'll get through it.

946
00:48:17,000 --> 00:48:20,640
Speaker 1: The good news is is that that the main symptoms

947
00:48:20,680 --> 00:48:22,520
Speaker 1: subside pretty quickly and then it's just more kind of

948
00:48:22,600 --> 00:48:24,759
Speaker 1: like your voice in general malaise. And I know for

949
00:48:24,840 --> 00:48:26,560
Speaker 1: you with your vocals in the past, you've had some

950
00:48:26,640 --> 00:48:28,880
Speaker 1: issues there, so just keep it rested. Well, I'll do

951
00:48:28,960 --> 00:48:32,080
Speaker 1: a lot of the heavy lifting today. Half there. I

952
00:48:32,120 --> 00:48:35,799
Speaker 1: appreciate you. I'm doing the Tennessee Titans Dallas Cowboys game

953
00:48:35,840 --> 00:48:39,320
Speaker 1: on Thursday for Westwood One Radio, my first ever foray

954
00:48:39,360 --> 00:48:43,040
Speaker 1: in the national color radio broadcast. And let's course I

955
00:48:43,160 --> 00:48:46,399
Speaker 1: can't smell anything because I'm so congested, So I'm I'm

956
00:48:46,480 --> 00:48:49,120
Speaker 1: hoping it works its way out before Thursday. The wise,

957
00:48:49,160 --> 00:48:51,279
Speaker 1: the radio listeners will not be very happy with my

958
00:48:51,960 --> 00:48:56,400
Speaker 1: first foray into the radio broadcast. Pump the halls, the

959
00:48:56,520 --> 00:49:00,560
Speaker 1: mental ones, the blues, those things. Just keep a steady

960
00:49:00,600 --> 00:49:03,080
Speaker 1: diet of those in your and that they'll open everything

961
00:49:03,160 --> 00:49:05,800
Speaker 1: up a little bit and then also cool, you know,

962
00:49:05,920 --> 00:49:08,080
Speaker 1: cool and soothe the throat, keep it moist in there

963
00:49:08,120 --> 00:49:11,000
Speaker 1: so you'll be good. Oh half, what a treat for everybody. Now,

964
00:49:11,040 --> 00:49:13,279
Speaker 1: I know what I'm doing on Thursday. I'm putting on

965
00:49:13,400 --> 00:49:17,080
Speaker 1: the radio. I'm listening to the half. That'll be fun.

966
00:49:17,120 --> 00:49:20,120
Speaker 1: Too bad obviously, the Titans offenses struggling, but the Cowboys

967
00:49:20,160 --> 00:49:23,239
Speaker 1: that'll be that'll be a fun one for you. Yeah,

968
00:49:23,280 --> 00:49:26,080
Speaker 1: the Cowboys hot, so obviously it's it's a big game

969
00:49:26,120 --> 00:49:28,400
Speaker 1: for them to try to continue that momentum. And I

970
00:49:28,480 --> 00:49:30,800
Speaker 1: don't think there's a strong chance that they win the

971
00:49:30,920 --> 00:49:32,800
Speaker 1: NFC East with the Eagles, because the Eagles have to

972
00:49:32,880 --> 00:49:34,600
Speaker 1: lose their last two the Cowboys would have to win

973
00:49:34,640 --> 00:49:36,800
Speaker 1: their last two. But I think more than anything, just

974
00:49:37,080 --> 00:49:39,920
Speaker 1: kind of continuing their hot streak. Doc played probably his

975
00:49:40,000 --> 00:49:42,600
Speaker 1: best game in the season last week against the Eagles.

976
00:49:42,840 --> 00:49:44,879
Speaker 1: For them to continue that into the playoffs is huge.

977
00:49:45,239 --> 00:49:47,440
Speaker 1: The Titans, they're they're in all sorts, are of trouble.

978
00:49:47,440 --> 00:49:50,399
Speaker 1: I mean, they lost their last five games. This game

979
00:49:50,520 --> 00:49:53,680
Speaker 1: is meaningless now because they're gonna go play Jackson to

980
00:49:53,760 --> 00:49:56,200
Speaker 1: the last game of the season. Whoever wins that ends

981
00:49:56,280 --> 00:49:58,560
Speaker 1: up winning the a f C South, as putrid as

982
00:49:58,600 --> 00:50:01,359
Speaker 1: that division is this year. So um, it'll be an

983
00:50:01,400 --> 00:50:04,560
Speaker 1: interesting game to see how much of the starters you

984
00:50:04,640 --> 00:50:06,759
Speaker 1: see from the Tennessee Titans, because they got a bunch

985
00:50:06,800 --> 00:50:10,080
Speaker 1: of guys banged up and this is essentially a meaningless

986
00:50:10,560 --> 00:50:12,879
Speaker 1: game on a short week, so they may just kind

987
00:50:12,920 --> 00:50:15,280
Speaker 1: of rest their guys. So that adds another little wrench

988
00:50:15,320 --> 00:50:17,759
Speaker 1: into my preparation as a radio guy trying to figure out,

989
00:50:17,760 --> 00:50:19,680
Speaker 1: all right, it's almost like a preseason game. You gotta

990
00:50:19,719 --> 00:50:21,640
Speaker 1: learn all the backups in case they're rolling them out

991
00:50:21,640 --> 00:50:24,600
Speaker 1: there for the whole second half. Oh my half, I

992
00:50:24,640 --> 00:50:26,880
Speaker 1: got Derrick Henry in the Fantasy Finals. That you do

993
00:50:26,920 --> 00:50:29,960
Speaker 1: you get a production meeting doing national radio, do you

994
00:50:29,960 --> 00:50:34,080
Speaker 1: get a little excitement? No? Not, not a whole lot

995
00:50:34,120 --> 00:50:35,919
Speaker 1: of insight, like I'm gonna be talking to the radio

996
00:50:35,960 --> 00:50:38,440
Speaker 1: guy from the Titans and the Cowboys this week getting

997
00:50:38,440 --> 00:50:41,440
Speaker 1: ready for the game. Um, but Rabel, as you'd expect

998
00:50:41,520 --> 00:50:44,040
Speaker 1: being a former Patriots guy, is holding things close to

999
00:50:44,120 --> 00:50:46,680
Speaker 1: his vest on who he's gonna play. But Derrick Henry

1000
00:50:46,719 --> 00:50:48,040
Speaker 1: is a little bit banged up, so it wouldn't be

1001
00:50:48,080 --> 00:50:50,360
Speaker 1: a shocker if he at least doesn't get a lot

1002
00:50:50,440 --> 00:50:53,120
Speaker 1: of carries, probably not as normal workload. And they give

1003
00:50:53,400 --> 00:50:57,640
Speaker 1: Maliki the opportunity to kind of some Yes, you're gonna

1004
00:50:57,640 --> 00:51:00,560
Speaker 1: be not very happy screaming at your TV when Derrick

1005
00:51:00,560 --> 00:51:04,640
Speaker 1: Henry either doesn't play or gets like five carries. All right, off,

1006
00:51:04,760 --> 00:51:06,239
Speaker 1: I need you got to shoot me a text when

1007
00:51:06,280 --> 00:51:08,080
Speaker 1: you when you the more that we get here, you

1008
00:51:08,120 --> 00:51:09,600
Speaker 1: shoot me a text and let me know what's going

1009
00:51:09,640 --> 00:51:12,520
Speaker 1: on here, because this is a big, big steaks. Other

1010
00:51:12,600 --> 00:51:14,480
Speaker 1: than feeling a little under the weather, how's your Christmas?

1011
00:51:16,239 --> 00:51:19,360
Speaker 1: It was great. Um, kids were still at that perfect

1012
00:51:19,400 --> 00:51:22,719
Speaker 1: age like nine, eight, six and four, so we're all

1013
00:51:22,880 --> 00:51:26,239
Speaker 1: still loving the magic of Christmas and Santa such a

1014
00:51:26,280 --> 00:51:29,040
Speaker 1: great sweet spot. And um, we had a great Christmas

1015
00:51:29,080 --> 00:51:31,200
Speaker 1: Day with just our family and then a nice little

1016
00:51:31,239 --> 00:51:34,120
Speaker 1: candlelight Christmas dinner, which you know, I like to sit

1017
00:51:34,160 --> 00:51:37,000
Speaker 1: down just like you Z to a nice ninety minute

1018
00:51:37,040 --> 00:51:40,200
Speaker 1: to two hour meal with seven to ten courses, you know.

1019
00:51:40,360 --> 00:51:42,640
Speaker 1: And so we got momatas in the kitchen all day

1020
00:51:42,719 --> 00:51:45,359
Speaker 1: making the glorious Christmas ham and all the sides. When

1021
00:51:45,400 --> 00:51:48,640
Speaker 1: we sat down had the candlelight dinner, everything was perfect.

1022
00:51:48,680 --> 00:51:51,399
Speaker 1: I was ready for a good hour to two hour

1023
00:51:51,600 --> 00:51:54,879
Speaker 1: session at dinner, and as you know with kids, about

1024
00:51:54,960 --> 00:51:57,120
Speaker 1: ten minutes in, all of a sudden, they're all getting

1025
00:51:57,160 --> 00:51:59,000
Speaker 1: up from the table and they're storming off to go

1026
00:51:59,080 --> 00:52:01,440
Speaker 1: play with their toys. It was short lived, but it

1027
00:52:01,560 --> 00:52:04,480
Speaker 1: was still wonderful. How was yours? It was great. Well,

1028
00:52:04,640 --> 00:52:06,640
Speaker 1: you gotta just keep the adults there. The adults stay

1029
00:52:06,680 --> 00:52:10,520
Speaker 1: and the kids go play and then it's all good frolicking. Yeah,

1030
00:52:10,640 --> 00:52:13,000
Speaker 1: let them frolic a little, but it was great. Um

1031
00:52:13,840 --> 00:52:17,520
Speaker 1: did the uh the two prime ribs um and it

1032
00:52:17,680 --> 00:52:20,319
Speaker 1: it turned out as it does every I mean, it's

1033
00:52:20,640 --> 00:52:23,200
Speaker 1: it's perfect. And you know, everybody was saying, you're not

1034
00:52:23,320 --> 00:52:25,840
Speaker 1: even stressed. I'm like, I'm not stressed at all because

1035
00:52:26,600 --> 00:52:29,640
Speaker 1: the Suvie is just so perfect. So I uh, I

1036
00:52:29,719 --> 00:52:31,839
Speaker 1: got him rubbed up Now, my father in law does

1037
00:52:31,920 --> 00:52:33,520
Speaker 1: not like rosemary, so I had to make one that

1038
00:52:33,520 --> 00:52:35,880
Speaker 1: didn't have any rosemary in the rub. And then that

1039
00:52:36,000 --> 00:52:37,879
Speaker 1: was a small one, and then the big one. I know, sad,

1040
00:52:37,920 --> 00:52:40,440
Speaker 1: I don't get it, but and then the normal one.

1041
00:52:40,520 --> 00:52:43,239
Speaker 1: And I had this really good from our new knife set,

1042
00:52:43,480 --> 00:52:45,319
Speaker 1: this kind of long thin knife that I was able

1043
00:52:45,360 --> 00:52:47,440
Speaker 1: to kind of poke through the entire meat and then

1044
00:52:47,480 --> 00:52:50,160
Speaker 1: I could like line that hole with garlic cloves, so

1045
00:52:50,320 --> 00:52:52,919
Speaker 1: like right in the middle, one through the rib cap,

1046
00:52:53,000 --> 00:52:54,560
Speaker 1: and then a couple unders so there was probably like

1047
00:52:54,960 --> 00:52:57,680
Speaker 1: twenty garlic cloves in there too. And when you sliced it,

1048
00:52:57,920 --> 00:53:00,480
Speaker 1: like most pieces, got like a cooked garlic clove in there.

1049
00:53:00,640 --> 00:53:03,920
Speaker 1: That was really good. So yeah, rubbed it all up

1050
00:53:04,920 --> 00:53:08,960
Speaker 1: brounded at four seventy five for fifteen minutes, and then

1051
00:53:09,360 --> 00:53:10,960
Speaker 1: in the bag in the suv and I up the

1052
00:53:11,040 --> 00:53:13,040
Speaker 1: temp a little bit. This year I usually go right

1053
00:53:13,040 --> 00:53:15,160
Speaker 1: around the medium rare one nine. I uped to one

1054
00:53:15,239 --> 00:53:18,720
Speaker 1: thirty two point five. Very pleased with the decision because

1055
00:53:18,719 --> 00:53:21,320
Speaker 1: it got more of the fat melted in and it

1056
00:53:21,480 --> 00:53:23,920
Speaker 1: was just the perfect texture. So it was in the

1057
00:53:23,960 --> 00:53:26,279
Speaker 1: suv for about seven hours and then back into the

1058
00:53:26,320 --> 00:53:29,680
Speaker 1: oven again at four seventy for ten minutes to crust

1059
00:53:29,760 --> 00:53:31,480
Speaker 1: it up at the end, after I brushed it with

1060
00:53:31,600 --> 00:53:33,840
Speaker 1: some ge to give it a nice little crust on

1061
00:53:33,880 --> 00:53:36,400
Speaker 1: the outside. And when I started, I kind of do

1062
00:53:36,480 --> 00:53:37,920
Speaker 1: I sent you the video and I cut into it.

1063
00:53:38,440 --> 00:53:40,080
Speaker 1: I was moved. I was moved to tears. It was

1064
00:53:40,160 --> 00:53:44,279
Speaker 1: so it was so beautiful. That was a special video.

1065
00:53:44,320 --> 00:53:46,080
Speaker 1: I'm so I'm gonna save that on my phone if

1066
00:53:46,080 --> 00:53:48,920
Speaker 1: I'm ever feeling down. Just see the joy and the

1067
00:53:49,040 --> 00:53:54,000
Speaker 1: glory on your face when you sliced into that. There's

1068
00:53:54,040 --> 00:53:55,719
Speaker 1: nothing better. When you slice into it and you get

1069
00:53:55,760 --> 00:53:58,680
Speaker 1: to see the color, You're like success. And even though

1070
00:53:58,680 --> 00:54:01,120
Speaker 1: I knew it was gonna be good, then uh yeah,

1071
00:54:01,160 --> 00:54:02,719
Speaker 1: we just we keep it simple. You know. We had

1072
00:54:02,719 --> 00:54:04,600
Speaker 1: a bunch of different apps, so we had kind of

1073
00:54:04,600 --> 00:54:06,600
Speaker 1: like an hour and a half like app window with

1074
00:54:07,280 --> 00:54:10,080
Speaker 1: various wines and whatnot. And then, uh, the dinner is

1075
00:54:10,400 --> 00:54:14,040
Speaker 1: is a simple three ingredient dinner or three item dinner.

1076
00:54:14,080 --> 00:54:17,040
Speaker 1: You've got your prime rib, I make a fresh aju,

1077
00:54:17,239 --> 00:54:19,040
Speaker 1: use some of the bag juices and whats your sir,

1078
00:54:19,200 --> 00:54:22,479
Speaker 1: some red wine, a little bit of a little beef broth,

1079
00:54:22,560 --> 00:54:25,359
Speaker 1: and then a fresh rosemary sprig some garlic. Get that going.

1080
00:54:25,520 --> 00:54:29,960
Speaker 1: That was delicious. Um. So it's just the meat mashed potatoes,

1081
00:54:30,320 --> 00:54:33,840
Speaker 1: which I bought some amazing made mashed potoes at Metropolitan Market.

1082
00:54:33,960 --> 00:54:36,880
Speaker 1: They were came in like a like a six pound

1083
00:54:37,640 --> 00:54:42,440
Speaker 1: bag that was like vacuum sealed, and they were reasonably priced,

1084
00:54:42,480 --> 00:54:43,600
Speaker 1: and so all I had to do was get them

1085
00:54:43,640 --> 00:54:45,719
Speaker 1: heated up, and I added some gey to that, some

1086
00:54:45,880 --> 00:54:49,879
Speaker 1: milk and a bunch of roasted garlic and just whip

1087
00:54:50,040 --> 00:54:51,440
Speaker 1: that up. And so that was gonna then peas and

1088
00:54:51,480 --> 00:54:53,000
Speaker 1: pearls and that's it. That's all you got. Those are

1089
00:54:53,000 --> 00:54:55,719
Speaker 1: the three items, and it's just it was great. So

1090
00:54:55,840 --> 00:55:01,800
Speaker 1: fourteen pounds we had, I guess ten meat eaters, but

1091
00:55:01,880 --> 00:55:03,239
Speaker 1: one of those was art and another art. It's a

1092
00:55:03,280 --> 00:55:06,359
Speaker 1: pretty good portion. My mom not so much, but we had.

1093
00:55:06,400 --> 00:55:08,120
Speaker 1: All we had left was probably like a two inch

1094
00:55:08,160 --> 00:55:10,960
Speaker 1: slab is all that's left on some of the buttons.

1095
00:55:11,640 --> 00:55:15,080
Speaker 1: That's a good feeling. Like I did beef tenderline for

1096
00:55:15,360 --> 00:55:17,480
Speaker 1: our Christmas Eve dinner when I had my parents over

1097
00:55:17,600 --> 00:55:20,840
Speaker 1: and my sister. Yes, beautiful meat. Oh, it was glorious.

1098
00:55:20,880 --> 00:55:22,640
Speaker 1: So I did too, because the ladies they like a

1099
00:55:22,680 --> 00:55:24,680
Speaker 1: little more well done. So I did kind of like

1100
00:55:24,760 --> 00:55:28,000
Speaker 1: a well done that hurts. It hurt me a little bit, right,

1101
00:55:28,040 --> 00:55:31,520
Speaker 1: It doesn't mean you're beautiful beef ten Like you're cooking

1102
00:55:31,560 --> 00:55:33,520
Speaker 1: it at a hundred and sixty degrees, which is hotter

1103
00:55:33,600 --> 00:55:37,000
Speaker 1: than I cooked chicken. It doesn't even make sense, but hey,

1104
00:55:37,280 --> 00:55:41,759
Speaker 1: that's why they say it's their preference prefer things. That's right,

1105
00:55:41,800 --> 00:55:44,320
Speaker 1: because I've cooked it at one nine or one forty

1106
00:55:44,360 --> 00:55:46,839
Speaker 1: a million times and they don't like it every single time.

1107
00:55:46,960 --> 00:55:49,520
Speaker 1: So at some point I got stop being the bozoh

1108
00:55:49,600 --> 00:55:50,920
Speaker 1: and just cook it the way they liked it. So

1109
00:55:50,960 --> 00:55:52,799
Speaker 1: I finally did that, and then I did the one

1110
00:55:53,200 --> 00:55:55,600
Speaker 1: nine for people that like meat that tastes like meat.

1111
00:55:57,840 --> 00:56:01,239
Speaker 1: Turned out the amazing. Every little bit of it was

1112
00:56:01,400 --> 00:56:03,800
Speaker 1: like clean. There was no leftovers, which leaves you a

1113
00:56:03,880 --> 00:56:05,919
Speaker 1: little bit sad, but at the same time, it leaves

1114
00:56:05,960 --> 00:56:08,799
Speaker 1: you very happy that everyone enjoyed the meat and uh

1115
00:56:08,880 --> 00:56:10,799
Speaker 1: they consumed all of it. So I like your idea

1116
00:56:10,880 --> 00:56:15,239
Speaker 1: though on Christmas to have just three items, because that's

1117
00:56:15,280 --> 00:56:17,839
Speaker 1: one thing that I think we we could have done better.

1118
00:56:17,880 --> 00:56:20,800
Speaker 1: Maybe next year, different planning, Like in hindsight, this is

1119
00:56:20,880 --> 00:56:24,879
Speaker 1: my after action report. We do a huge secrudery plate,

1120
00:56:25,040 --> 00:56:28,520
Speaker 1: like Annie loves doing a giant secrudery board. And then

1121
00:56:29,160 --> 00:56:31,160
Speaker 1: for the adults, instead of buying each other gifts, we

1122
00:56:31,280 --> 00:56:34,040
Speaker 1: bring something that we can all share. So my wife

1123
00:56:34,080 --> 00:56:37,160
Speaker 1: had like a little champagne tasting. My dad had like

1124
00:56:37,280 --> 00:56:39,600
Speaker 1: a special drink. It was kind of a version of

1125
00:56:39,680 --> 00:56:42,279
Speaker 1: like a Manhattan that he had that for to make

1126
00:56:42,360 --> 00:56:44,600
Speaker 1: for everybody, and like it was mostly just booze and

1127
00:56:44,680 --> 00:56:46,640
Speaker 1: like food to share and stuff. And then we dig

1128
00:56:46,680 --> 00:56:50,240
Speaker 1: into this giant sorcrudery tray and then you go upstairs

1129
00:56:50,239 --> 00:56:54,680
Speaker 1: and then there's like thirteen side dishes and to like

1130
00:56:54,920 --> 00:56:59,320
Speaker 1: to meat courses and mash crotatas and we've got squash

1131
00:56:59,440 --> 00:57:03,279
Speaker 1: and it's like almost too much because your favorite thing.

1132
00:57:03,400 --> 00:57:06,520
Speaker 1: So I think streamlining is definitely one of the improvements

1133
00:57:06,560 --> 00:57:09,040
Speaker 1: we can make for next Christmas. Yeah, we went big

1134
00:57:09,120 --> 00:57:12,520
Speaker 1: on the apps. So I'll shout out again. Metropaliti markets

1135
00:57:12,560 --> 00:57:13,680
Speaker 1: this nice parking on the east side and they have

1136
00:57:13,760 --> 00:57:17,120
Speaker 1: this great kind of like frozen app section um and

1137
00:57:17,240 --> 00:57:20,200
Speaker 1: everything's really good. So we had I got those. I

1138
00:57:20,280 --> 00:57:22,720
Speaker 1: got these little like crab claws, you know, the kind

1139
00:57:22,760 --> 00:57:24,800
Speaker 1: of kind of the little I think there's maybe snow

1140
00:57:24,840 --> 00:57:26,520
Speaker 1: crab clause and it's like got a poof of meat

1141
00:57:26,600 --> 00:57:28,480
Speaker 1: that kind of comes out of it. So I got

1142
00:57:28,600 --> 00:57:31,040
Speaker 1: like sixty of those, like a couple of pounds of those,

1143
00:57:31,120 --> 00:57:33,760
Speaker 1: which were awesome. So that was kind of the cocktail.

1144
00:57:33,800 --> 00:57:36,439
Speaker 1: And then I served that with some almost cocktail sauce.

1145
00:57:36,560 --> 00:57:39,880
Speaker 1: We had this like mustardy dipping sauce. And then also

1146
00:57:39,960 --> 00:57:41,520
Speaker 1: I had some truff in case somebody want to just

1147
00:57:41,560 --> 00:57:43,360
Speaker 1: go straight into the truf because truff is so good.

1148
00:57:43,800 --> 00:57:46,920
Speaker 1: And then we got from Metropolitan Market. Duck Casity is

1149
00:57:46,960 --> 00:57:50,080
Speaker 1: so like Mini Duck Casity as it's easy, easy holding

1150
00:57:50,280 --> 00:57:54,320
Speaker 1: the delicious crab mini crab cakes which are always a win.

1151
00:57:54,960 --> 00:57:58,840
Speaker 1: Um uh Kayla loves this. A brie and like raspberry

1152
00:57:58,920 --> 00:58:02,240
Speaker 1: puff pastry that's again frozen and you just popping right

1153
00:58:02,240 --> 00:58:04,960
Speaker 1: in the oven. And then uh these Maui it called

1154
00:58:04,960 --> 00:58:08,520
Speaker 1: a Maui shrimp spring rolls and they were a little

1155
00:58:08,600 --> 00:58:10,760
Speaker 1: white sized spring rolls with a full shrimp and each

1156
00:58:10,800 --> 00:58:13,840
Speaker 1: little spring roll. And so people went to town there

1157
00:58:13,920 --> 00:58:15,480
Speaker 1: was nothing left on the app so that kind of

1158
00:58:15,520 --> 00:58:17,560
Speaker 1: gave you all your seafood and your variety right there.

1159
00:58:17,600 --> 00:58:20,560
Speaker 1: And then the streamline was good because the oven was

1160
00:58:20,600 --> 00:58:22,720
Speaker 1: all I needed to do was just to finish the meat.

1161
00:58:23,520 --> 00:58:25,200
Speaker 1: And then I had the stovetop and I just had

1162
00:58:25,280 --> 00:58:27,360
Speaker 1: mashtatoes in one pot and the peas and pearls in

1163
00:58:27,400 --> 00:58:29,000
Speaker 1: the other, and I just had to get them you know,

1164
00:58:29,120 --> 00:58:31,880
Speaker 1: warm basically, and then it was then we were just

1165
00:58:31,920 --> 00:58:33,840
Speaker 1: good to go, man, good to go. It was. It

1166
00:58:33,920 --> 00:58:36,640
Speaker 1: was a delight. How is the littour that you were able?

1167
00:58:36,720 --> 00:58:40,600
Speaker 1: Was the nose that allow you to enjoy the sweet tastes? Yeah,

1168
00:58:40,680 --> 00:58:43,360
Speaker 1: I mean I certainly enjoyed it. But like I was

1169
00:58:43,480 --> 00:58:46,480
Speaker 1: telling you, you can tell it's a fantastic bottle one

1170
00:58:46,520 --> 00:58:49,040
Speaker 1: and you can't fully appreciate it if you can't smell anything,

1171
00:58:49,200 --> 00:58:52,920
Speaker 1: you know, an important sense. It was crazy, but um

1172
00:58:53,080 --> 00:58:56,880
Speaker 1: definitely enjoyed it. Uh. The wife loved it. She was,

1173
00:58:57,200 --> 00:58:59,920
Speaker 1: you know, kind of on. She was like, I don't

1174
00:59:00,000 --> 00:59:01,400
Speaker 1: know if I want any wine. As soon as I

1175
00:59:01,480 --> 00:59:04,919
Speaker 1: popped at she was like, all right, she smelled mine,

1176
00:59:04,920 --> 00:59:06,240
Speaker 1: and she goes, why didn't you just pour me a

1177
00:59:06,280 --> 00:59:08,600
Speaker 1: little glass? And we ended up both threek and half

1178
00:59:08,640 --> 00:59:10,640
Speaker 1: and half in the whole bottle because it was yes,

1179
00:59:11,680 --> 00:59:14,920
Speaker 1: thank you for that. That was oh yeah, sure, Christmas,

1180
00:59:15,000 --> 00:59:17,880
Speaker 1: thank you. What a treat. Absolutely good all right. So

1181
00:59:17,920 --> 00:59:19,800
Speaker 1: we've talked about all the joy, all the merriment. Now

1182
00:59:19,840 --> 00:59:22,760
Speaker 1: we gotta talk about just real quickly some we'll do

1183
00:59:22,840 --> 00:59:24,200
Speaker 1: it after you wanna do it after the break, Gibbe

1184
00:59:24,440 --> 00:59:26,520
Speaker 1: Gibe says, after the break. And Gibby's the head honcho.

1185
00:59:26,640 --> 00:59:28,200
Speaker 1: So when we come back, we'll talk a little bit

1186
00:59:28,200 --> 00:59:30,600
Speaker 1: about what happened with the Browns on Christmas Eve. A

1187
00:59:30,760 --> 00:59:33,000
Speaker 1: little you know, not as pleasant as the other things

1188
00:59:33,040 --> 00:59:35,560
Speaker 1: we've been discussing. But it is the half hour. We're

1189
00:59:35,640 --> 00:59:37,360
Speaker 1: having a great time here. We'll be back more clean.

1190
00:59:37,400 --> 00:59:39,280
Speaker 1: Brown's Daily brought to you by bally Bet. Coming soon

1191
00:59:39,400 --> 00:59:53,280
Speaker 1: to Ohio Cleveland. Brown's Daily brought to you by ballely Bet,

1192
00:59:53,600 --> 01:00:05,880
Speaker 1: coming soon to Ohio on ESPN Cleveland. There's nothing quite

1193
01:00:05,920 --> 01:00:08,480
Speaker 1: like tailgating, touchdowns and twisted tea. If it tastes just

1194
01:00:08,560 --> 01:00:11,000
Speaker 1: like real iced tea, you know why because it's made

1195
01:00:11,040 --> 01:00:13,160
Speaker 1: with real brood t cool, refreshing it with a five

1196
01:00:13,200 --> 01:00:16,160
Speaker 1: percent kick of alcohol. It's thirst down and goal twisted

1197
01:00:16,200 --> 01:00:19,760
Speaker 1: t hard. I see keep it twisted. Nathan'sigara and the

1198
01:00:19,920 --> 01:00:22,960
Speaker 1: Hof Joe Thomas, all right, hop Saturday the Browns race

1199
01:00:23,040 --> 01:00:26,280
Speaker 1: out ten nothing lead. You're feeling good the weather is awful,

1200
01:00:26,440 --> 01:00:30,120
Speaker 1: it's cold, and then the Browns go cold, ice cold.

1201
01:00:30,240 --> 01:00:33,600
Speaker 1: They give up seventeen unanswered, they lose seventeen to ten.

1202
01:00:34,680 --> 01:00:37,560
Speaker 1: What went wrong? What did you see? What? What? What

1203
01:00:37,760 --> 01:00:42,160
Speaker 1: happened tof Well? The biggest thing that I take away

1204
01:00:42,360 --> 01:00:45,120
Speaker 1: was there just inability to get touchdowns when they get

1205
01:00:45,760 --> 01:00:48,640
Speaker 1: near the end zone, in that red zone area and

1206
01:00:49,680 --> 01:00:51,520
Speaker 1: playing a really cool game. It's gonna be a low

1207
01:00:51,600 --> 01:00:53,920
Speaker 1: scoring affair. I've played in a few of these in

1208
01:00:54,040 --> 01:00:57,040
Speaker 1: my career. The few that stick out is the Snowball

1209
01:00:57,120 --> 01:00:59,560
Speaker 1: that we want eight zero against the Bills, and then

1210
01:00:59,800 --> 01:01:01,560
Speaker 1: the Thursday night game. I want to say we won

1211
01:01:01,680 --> 01:01:05,640
Speaker 1: like euro against the Pittsburgh Steelers, which was a really

1212
01:01:05,680 --> 01:01:07,800
Speaker 1: cold game where you sacked Roethlisberger a bunch of times.

1213
01:01:08,240 --> 01:01:11,240
Speaker 1: And then we lost one in December in two thousand

1214
01:01:11,320 --> 01:01:14,040
Speaker 1: and eight against the Bengals. That was the coldest game

1215
01:01:14,080 --> 01:01:16,800
Speaker 1: of my career that I would maybe consider it similar

1216
01:01:16,800 --> 01:01:17,960
Speaker 1: to this game, and I want to say it was

1217
01:01:18,040 --> 01:01:21,800
Speaker 1: ten zero or seven zero, something like that. But either way,

1218
01:01:22,080 --> 01:01:24,360
Speaker 1: all those games are gonna be low scoring because you're

1219
01:01:24,400 --> 01:01:26,320
Speaker 1: just not moving very fast. You're not gonna have a

1220
01:01:26,400 --> 01:01:30,280
Speaker 1: lot of downfield opportunities. For explosive plays because the weather

1221
01:01:30,320 --> 01:01:32,840
Speaker 1: it's just so bad. It's cold and windy. Uh. And

1222
01:01:32,920 --> 01:01:34,960
Speaker 1: so when you get an opportunity to get close to

1223
01:01:34,960 --> 01:01:37,480
Speaker 1: your opponents goal line, you gotta find a way to

1224
01:01:37,560 --> 01:01:40,240
Speaker 1: finish with seven. Uh. You can't kick field goals and

1225
01:01:40,280 --> 01:01:42,480
Speaker 1: you certainly, like we saw on the final drive of

1226
01:01:42,520 --> 01:01:45,320
Speaker 1: the game, you can't come away with no points, especially

1227
01:01:45,360 --> 01:01:47,880
Speaker 1: when you have opportunities, and they had some opportunities like

1228
01:01:48,440 --> 01:01:51,160
Speaker 1: to that stick out of my head is the Marii

1229
01:01:51,240 --> 01:01:53,640
Speaker 1: Cooper when he slips in the end zone and then

1230
01:01:54,040 --> 01:01:55,880
Speaker 1: David and Joke with the drop at the end of

1231
01:01:55,920 --> 01:01:59,040
Speaker 1: the game, and and it's just a couple of plays

1232
01:01:59,440 --> 01:02:01,720
Speaker 1: in the NFL usually determine the outcome of a game,

1233
01:02:01,760 --> 01:02:04,120
Speaker 1: but especially in these cold games where it's a low

1234
01:02:04,200 --> 01:02:06,560
Speaker 1: scoring game and it's gonna be tight, like one or

1235
01:02:06,600 --> 01:02:08,600
Speaker 1: two plays, and sometimes it's just bad luck, like when

1236
01:02:08,640 --> 01:02:10,960
Speaker 1: Amor slipped. It's just bad luck because the fields first

1237
01:02:11,000 --> 01:02:14,560
Speaker 1: and you're just not used to that. But with the Chief,

1238
01:02:14,720 --> 01:02:16,840
Speaker 1: when you got an opportunity to make a play in

1239
01:02:16,960 --> 01:02:19,280
Speaker 1: a tight game like this, you got to make them. Unfortunately,

1240
01:02:19,360 --> 01:02:22,360
Speaker 1: the Browns were not good in those moments, and that's

1241
01:02:22,440 --> 01:02:24,800
Speaker 1: kind of been a little bit of a a window

1242
01:02:24,840 --> 01:02:28,120
Speaker 1: into what's happened whole season in those critical moments, those

1243
01:02:28,200 --> 01:02:31,080
Speaker 1: third downs, those fourth downs, those red zone opportunities, like

1244
01:02:31,160 --> 01:02:33,200
Speaker 1: those big moments in the game. They're not making the

1245
01:02:33,240 --> 01:02:36,400
Speaker 1: plays when they have to. Half, Why can't we run

1246
01:02:36,440 --> 01:02:39,560
Speaker 1: our kind of slow developing pin polls anymore? It feels

1247
01:02:39,600 --> 01:02:43,720
Speaker 1: like they just do not work. That's a good point.

1248
01:02:44,320 --> 01:02:47,360
Speaker 1: I think one of the possible things is that with

1249
01:02:47,560 --> 01:02:50,439
Speaker 1: DeShawn you're running a little bit more shotgun, and those

1250
01:02:50,520 --> 01:02:54,680
Speaker 1: pin polls typically they they work a little bit better

1251
01:02:54,800 --> 01:02:57,120
Speaker 1: when you're under center and the and the running backs

1252
01:02:57,160 --> 01:03:00,439
Speaker 1: behind you because it's a balanced look. Um, you can't

1253
01:03:00,720 --> 01:03:03,160
Speaker 1: it's harder to run those pin pulls from shotgun because

1254
01:03:03,560 --> 01:03:07,120
Speaker 1: the defense knows it's pretty tough to have your back

1255
01:03:07,200 --> 01:03:09,280
Speaker 1: off set one way and then come all the way

1256
01:03:09,320 --> 01:03:11,560
Speaker 1: across the formation it's pretty slow and go the other way,

1257
01:03:11,800 --> 01:03:13,200
Speaker 1: so you kind of have to grab it and pitch

1258
01:03:13,240 --> 01:03:15,360
Speaker 1: it to the same side. Now that's not saying that's

1259
01:03:15,360 --> 01:03:16,680
Speaker 1: the only way you can do it, but it's sort of.

1260
01:03:17,200 --> 01:03:19,880
Speaker 1: It tightens your playbook and the number of different ways

1261
01:03:19,920 --> 01:03:22,040
Speaker 1: you can get to those concepts, and the defense knows

1262
01:03:22,080 --> 01:03:25,640
Speaker 1: it right so that they can have little tips pre snap. Um,

1263
01:03:25,960 --> 01:03:27,760
Speaker 1: that would be maybe one of those things I would

1264
01:03:27,760 --> 01:03:31,640
Speaker 1: say possibly, But I still think that was one of

1265
01:03:31,680 --> 01:03:34,280
Speaker 1: the things that they were the best at, you know,

1266
01:03:34,480 --> 01:03:38,800
Speaker 1: for since Kevin Stefanski got here with Bill Callahan and

1267
01:03:40,160 --> 01:03:43,200
Speaker 1: you know, having Ethan Poseck back at center was important,

1268
01:03:43,200 --> 01:03:46,560
Speaker 1: I think because he's a pretty good polar But um,

1269
01:03:46,800 --> 01:03:49,280
Speaker 1: other than that, I mean, typically those plays they're they're

1270
01:03:49,320 --> 01:03:51,480
Speaker 1: not working if there's not not a good down block,

1271
01:03:51,920 --> 01:03:53,800
Speaker 1: and that's not always the case. It's just it's just

1272
01:03:53,880 --> 01:03:57,680
Speaker 1: a little bit cloudy. And you know, I think a

1273
01:03:57,800 --> 01:03:59,440
Speaker 1: lot of it's just being a little bit on an

1274
01:03:59,520 --> 01:04:02,200
Speaker 1: edge and not being tight with your details when you're

1275
01:04:02,200 --> 01:04:05,240
Speaker 1: getting those plays called. Yeah, because the ground game it's

1276
01:04:05,280 --> 01:04:07,600
Speaker 1: struggling in. This game really came down to who could

1277
01:04:07,600 --> 01:04:10,280
Speaker 1: impose their will physically, and I thought that, you know,

1278
01:04:10,360 --> 01:04:12,919
Speaker 1: the Saints, we expected to see a lot of Taysom Hills,

1279
01:04:12,920 --> 01:04:14,680
Speaker 1: something I talked about pretty much leading up to the

1280
01:04:14,760 --> 01:04:16,960
Speaker 1: game all week and talked about on the broadcast extensively,

1281
01:04:17,040 --> 01:04:19,400
Speaker 1: and that really flipped it for them, that last possession

1282
01:04:19,400 --> 01:04:20,800
Speaker 1: the end of the first half, first possession of the

1283
01:04:20,840 --> 01:04:23,440
Speaker 1: second half, and it became a good formula for them,

1284
01:04:23,600 --> 01:04:25,640
Speaker 1: made the defense play eleven on eleven and then for

1285
01:04:25,760 --> 01:04:29,080
Speaker 1: us offensively, you know, we ran it effectively with Watson,

1286
01:04:29,120 --> 01:04:32,880
Speaker 1: but did so sparingly. And you know, you look hindsightwy

1287
01:04:32,920 --> 01:04:35,120
Speaker 1: and he's not built like Taysom Hill, who's a tight

1288
01:04:35,280 --> 01:04:37,920
Speaker 1: end as well. But what did you make of kind

1289
01:04:37,920 --> 01:04:39,960
Speaker 1: of that difference and then their ability to kind of

1290
01:04:40,000 --> 01:04:42,840
Speaker 1: just impose their will. Well, that was one thing that

1291
01:04:42,920 --> 01:04:45,919
Speaker 1: was disappointed to me. That was sort of my air

1292
01:04:46,200 --> 01:04:49,360
Speaker 1: as I was drinking the Great Nathan's a Girl wine

1293
01:04:50,000 --> 01:04:54,160
Speaker 1: after this game on Christmas Eve. Um, I was disappointed

1294
01:04:54,200 --> 01:04:57,120
Speaker 1: with our tackling. I know it's cold. I know that

1295
01:04:57,480 --> 01:05:01,120
Speaker 1: it's not tackle dudes that are big like Taysom Hill

1296
01:05:01,200 --> 01:05:05,520
Speaker 1: and uh David Johnson, Alvin Kamara, Like that's not fun,

1297
01:05:05,600 --> 01:05:08,560
Speaker 1: But that's your job in those environments, and to allow

1298
01:05:08,600 --> 01:05:12,160
Speaker 1: a team like the Saints in an in an environment

1299
01:05:12,240 --> 01:05:14,640
Speaker 1: where it's really difficult to throw the ball downfield, so

1300
01:05:14,720 --> 01:05:17,160
Speaker 1: you know the run games coming, like that's what they're bringing.

1301
01:05:17,520 --> 01:05:20,040
Speaker 1: It's that type of mindset game. Uh so you gotta

1302
01:05:20,120 --> 01:05:21,760
Speaker 1: just go in with that mindset like it's gonna hurt,

1303
01:05:22,120 --> 01:05:24,640
Speaker 1: but that's behind me and I'm gonna go do my job,

1304
01:05:24,720 --> 01:05:26,360
Speaker 1: and we're gonna stop the run, and we're gonna make

1305
01:05:26,360 --> 01:05:28,440
Speaker 1: any Dalton throw it down field to beat us. And

1306
01:05:28,480 --> 01:05:30,040
Speaker 1: they didn't do that. I mean, the Saints at a

1307
01:05:30,120 --> 01:05:32,439
Speaker 1: hunting fifty two yards rushing, and they're not a great

1308
01:05:32,840 --> 01:05:35,680
Speaker 1: rushing team. They're not like the Browns. They're not like

1309
01:05:35,760 --> 01:05:37,040
Speaker 1: some of these other teams that you know, like the

1310
01:05:37,080 --> 01:05:39,280
Speaker 1: Titans that I'm seeing on Thursday, like that's what they do.

1311
01:05:40,160 --> 01:05:42,800
Speaker 1: The Saints, that's not exactly who they are. And I

1312
01:05:42,880 --> 01:05:44,520
Speaker 1: thought the tackling was poor, and I thought that was

1313
01:05:44,560 --> 01:05:46,760
Speaker 1: a big part of why the second half kind of

1314
01:05:47,320 --> 01:05:50,280
Speaker 1: flip the momentum is they were just able to churn

1315
01:05:50,320 --> 01:05:53,000
Speaker 1: out those five, six seven yard runs where you know,

1316
01:05:53,080 --> 01:05:55,760
Speaker 1: maybe we made contact at the line of scrimmage or

1317
01:05:55,800 --> 01:05:57,800
Speaker 1: one or two yards down the field, but then they

1318
01:05:57,880 --> 01:06:00,440
Speaker 1: just kind of pushed and surged and lurched forward for

1319
01:06:00,520 --> 01:06:03,760
Speaker 1: five or six yards, and pretty soon it's second and

1320
01:06:03,840 --> 01:06:06,600
Speaker 1: four and they have their whole playbook available to him,

1321
01:06:06,680 --> 01:06:09,560
Speaker 1: right Whereas all you gotta do in those situations is

1322
01:06:09,600 --> 01:06:11,200
Speaker 1: you get to stop on first down. And now it's

1323
01:06:11,240 --> 01:06:13,720
Speaker 1: second and ten and they realize that it's gonna be

1324
01:06:13,800 --> 01:06:16,760
Speaker 1: hard to convert long third downs, right, so the pressure

1325
01:06:16,840 --> 01:06:19,840
Speaker 1: becomes so much greater on an offense when they don't

1326
01:06:19,880 --> 01:06:22,840
Speaker 1: have a successful play on first down in these really cold,

1327
01:06:23,040 --> 01:06:25,680
Speaker 1: terrible environments. And then on the offensive side of the ball,

1328
01:06:25,680 --> 01:06:28,760
Speaker 1: I would like to have seen DeShawn get more opportunities

1329
01:06:28,800 --> 01:06:31,400
Speaker 1: a round the football because looking forward to the last

1330
01:06:31,440 --> 01:06:33,760
Speaker 1: two games of the season, I want to see what

1331
01:06:33,920 --> 01:06:36,360
Speaker 1: this rushing attack is going to look like next year,

1332
01:06:36,480 --> 01:06:38,880
Speaker 1: and for me, it's gonna be a healthy dose of

1333
01:06:38,960 --> 01:06:42,280
Speaker 1: Nick Chubb and then Deshaun Watson like more opportunities with

1334
01:06:42,360 --> 01:06:45,840
Speaker 1: the r p o s, more opportunities with the more

1335
01:06:46,280 --> 01:06:48,600
Speaker 1: creative ways to get to some of those pin polls

1336
01:06:48,640 --> 01:06:52,320
Speaker 1: when maybe Deshaun Watson's in the pistol, or maybe you

1337
01:06:52,400 --> 01:06:54,840
Speaker 1: are in the gun and you got your back off set,

1338
01:06:54,920 --> 01:06:57,200
Speaker 1: but it's a fake to the pin pole. And now

1339
01:06:57,280 --> 01:06:59,520
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson's running a bootleg and he has an option

1340
01:06:59,600 --> 01:07:01,840
Speaker 1: of either on it or dumping it into the flat

1341
01:07:02,320 --> 01:07:04,280
Speaker 1: where you see a lot of times, like the backside

1342
01:07:04,320 --> 01:07:06,200
Speaker 1: tight end, he'll run down the line of scrimmage like

1343
01:07:06,240 --> 01:07:08,280
Speaker 1: he's blocking, and all of a sudden he'll pivot and

1344
01:07:08,360 --> 01:07:10,600
Speaker 1: then he'll flatten out and as the quarterback's booting out.

1345
01:07:10,880 --> 01:07:14,040
Speaker 1: Now he gives them a short opportunity for an easy completion,

1346
01:07:14,320 --> 01:07:16,040
Speaker 1: or the coureback can run, or a lot of times

1347
01:07:16,080 --> 01:07:19,600
Speaker 1: then you have a player from the far sideline who's

1348
01:07:19,920 --> 01:07:21,920
Speaker 1: streaking all the way across on like a deep over.

1349
01:07:22,000 --> 01:07:23,520
Speaker 1: So if you have a shot, you can take it.

1350
01:07:23,600 --> 01:07:26,160
Speaker 1: But I think those type of concepts are what fits

1351
01:07:26,280 --> 01:07:28,520
Speaker 1: this offense, and I would have liked to have seen

1352
01:07:29,000 --> 01:07:31,760
Speaker 1: more of that in this game, more opportunities to run

1353
01:07:31,800 --> 01:07:34,400
Speaker 1: the football with Deshaun Watson, especially in some of those

1354
01:07:34,800 --> 01:07:38,160
Speaker 1: third and short, fourth and short situations. You just wish

1355
01:07:38,200 --> 01:07:40,320
Speaker 1: in some ways that you know these games were being

1356
01:07:40,360 --> 01:07:42,560
Speaker 1: played on the road in domes, so that you would

1357
01:07:42,600 --> 01:07:44,920
Speaker 1: have an opportunity to kind of see everything you want

1358
01:07:44,960 --> 01:07:46,920
Speaker 1: from Deshaun Watson. I think that's the hard part is

1359
01:07:47,360 --> 01:07:49,600
Speaker 1: you haven't been I mean this game was you mentioned it.

1360
01:07:49,800 --> 01:07:52,160
Speaker 1: It looked like, I kept commenting on the broadcast. It

1361
01:07:52,280 --> 01:07:54,880
Speaker 1: looked like everybody was moving in slow motion like that.

1362
01:07:55,080 --> 01:07:57,800
Speaker 1: Clearly guys did not trust they're footing. It looked like

1363
01:07:57,880 --> 01:07:59,760
Speaker 1: it was almost hard for the body to run it full.

1364
01:08:00,360 --> 01:08:03,080
Speaker 1: The acceleration and burst you're used to was not there

1365
01:08:03,200 --> 01:08:05,840
Speaker 1: for really anybody on either side. It was. It was

1366
01:08:05,920 --> 01:08:08,000
Speaker 1: kind of weird to watch the game unfold. I don't

1367
01:08:08,000 --> 01:08:09,600
Speaker 1: know if it looked that way on TV, but certainly

1368
01:08:09,640 --> 01:08:11,760
Speaker 1: it did, you know, from the vantage point up above,

1369
01:08:12,640 --> 01:08:14,960
Speaker 1: Yeah it did. And I remember playing in some of

1370
01:08:15,040 --> 01:08:17,880
Speaker 1: those cold games in college in the NFL, and even

1371
01:08:18,000 --> 01:08:20,160
Speaker 1: like as a kid, just going out and throwing the

1372
01:08:20,200 --> 01:08:22,680
Speaker 1: ball around during Christmas break in the snow piles, like

1373
01:08:23,080 --> 01:08:25,320
Speaker 1: your body just moved slower when your muscles are cold,

1374
01:08:25,479 --> 01:08:28,160
Speaker 1: and it's kind of like as a reporter, you know,

1375
01:08:28,240 --> 01:08:30,800
Speaker 1: being on the sideline for those games. I remember doing

1376
01:08:30,960 --> 01:08:35,080
Speaker 1: some pregame and halftime postgame shows with Thursday Night Football

1377
01:08:35,120 --> 01:08:36,839
Speaker 1: where it was pretty cold, and all of a sudden,

1378
01:08:36,880 --> 01:08:39,200
Speaker 1: as soon as your face gets cold, you're talking slower,

1379
01:08:39,600 --> 01:08:41,960
Speaker 1: and everything's just moving slower. It's harder to get those

1380
01:08:41,960 --> 01:08:43,840
Speaker 1: things out. And it's the same thing when you're out

1381
01:08:43,840 --> 01:08:45,920
Speaker 1: there trying to play, like you're just moving slower. It's

1382
01:08:46,000 --> 01:08:49,040
Speaker 1: kind of like the slow mo button got hit. But

1383
01:08:49,200 --> 01:08:52,080
Speaker 1: for an offensive lineman, you like that because it slows

1384
01:08:52,120 --> 01:08:54,759
Speaker 1: those dudes down to your speed. Right, the defensive lineman

1385
01:08:54,800 --> 01:08:57,040
Speaker 1: now are not running as fast, and you saw the

1386
01:08:57,120 --> 01:08:59,320
Speaker 1: impact there. I think a little bit Myles Garrett really

1387
01:08:59,360 --> 01:09:01,880
Speaker 1: didn't have actual impact at all in the game because

1388
01:09:02,080 --> 01:09:04,680
Speaker 1: as a pass rusher, as a fast guy, you kind

1389
01:09:04,680 --> 01:09:08,080
Speaker 1: of get neutralized, especially on the defensive side, because you're

1390
01:09:08,080 --> 01:09:10,760
Speaker 1: already slower now right because of the cold. But then

1391
01:09:10,840 --> 01:09:13,320
Speaker 1: you're also trying to react to what the offense is doing.

1392
01:09:13,880 --> 01:09:17,880
Speaker 1: And when it's good at good conditions, you can react

1393
01:09:17,960 --> 01:09:20,479
Speaker 1: and a split second, but when the conditions are bad

1394
01:09:20,560 --> 01:09:23,720
Speaker 1: and fields frozen, it takes even longer, and so it

1395
01:09:24,200 --> 01:09:28,160
Speaker 1: seems even longer by the time on defense you recognize

1396
01:09:28,200 --> 01:09:30,280
Speaker 1: what's happening and you can respond to it, and so

1397
01:09:30,320 --> 01:09:32,559
Speaker 1: a lot of times the pass rush is almost uh

1398
01:09:32,720 --> 01:09:35,479
Speaker 1: completely ineffective because of the cold and because of the

1399
01:09:35,560 --> 01:09:40,720
Speaker 1: field conditions. Half Jack Conklin for your contract extension. I

1400
01:09:40,800 --> 01:09:42,800
Speaker 1: thought he's played pretty well this year, especially kind of

1401
01:09:42,880 --> 01:09:45,000
Speaker 1: his pass blocking over the last you know, you'd say

1402
01:09:45,040 --> 01:09:47,080
Speaker 1: second half of the season has been very, very good.

1403
01:09:47,560 --> 01:09:49,799
Speaker 1: What did you think about that deal and how important

1404
01:09:49,840 --> 01:09:52,680
Speaker 1: is it to kind of have that continuity. I think

1405
01:09:52,720 --> 01:09:55,439
Speaker 1: it's huge. I think Jack's played really well, especially coming

1406
01:09:55,479 --> 01:09:59,160
Speaker 1: back from such a gruesome injury. He's gotten better each

1407
01:09:59,240 --> 01:10:02,320
Speaker 1: week for the most part, as he's trusting that need

1408
01:10:02,320 --> 01:10:04,479
Speaker 1: a little bit more. And I think it's really important

1409
01:10:04,520 --> 01:10:07,280
Speaker 1: because this offensive line I don't think anybody would say

1410
01:10:07,360 --> 01:10:09,960
Speaker 1: is the best in the NFL this season. Um, they've

1411
01:10:09,960 --> 01:10:11,960
Speaker 1: had some highs and lows, but they're still one of

1412
01:10:12,000 --> 01:10:14,400
Speaker 1: the better offensive lines in the NFL. And I think

1413
01:10:14,439 --> 01:10:17,760
Speaker 1: the key to the success the formula that Andrew Berry

1414
01:10:17,840 --> 01:10:19,559
Speaker 1: is trying to build here is is a very good

1415
01:10:19,600 --> 01:10:23,639
Speaker 1: offensive line pass block who's a good run blocking, physical

1416
01:10:23,760 --> 01:10:26,400
Speaker 1: offensive line. You can run the football, and then you

1417
01:10:26,479 --> 01:10:28,880
Speaker 1: got Deshaun Watson who keeps you in every game because

1418
01:10:28,920 --> 01:10:30,599
Speaker 1: you can throw the football in the pocket, he can

1419
01:10:30,640 --> 01:10:33,280
Speaker 1: get outside of the pocket, he can make plays off schedule.

1420
01:10:33,600 --> 01:10:35,680
Speaker 1: Like I think having Jack there and the and the

1421
01:10:35,840 --> 01:10:38,400
Speaker 1: right tackle, especially as you look around the league and

1422
01:10:38,479 --> 01:10:40,679
Speaker 1: see how hard it is for teams to be able

1423
01:10:40,680 --> 01:10:44,160
Speaker 1: to find those starting or better quality offensive lineman, like

1424
01:10:44,280 --> 01:10:46,679
Speaker 1: it was a no brainer to keep Jack here, especially

1425
01:10:46,720 --> 01:10:49,800
Speaker 1: a guy that so desperately wanted to continue his career

1426
01:10:49,880 --> 01:10:52,960
Speaker 1: in Cleveland. Yeah, he did, and he will get the

1427
01:10:53,040 --> 01:10:55,760
Speaker 1: opportunity to do that when we come back. Will quickly

1428
01:10:55,800 --> 01:10:57,639
Speaker 1: go around the a f C. North will go around

1429
01:10:57,720 --> 01:11:00,599
Speaker 1: the league as well. You're listening to the half hour

Speaker 1: of the Cleveland Browns. Joe Thomas with us. Let's go

1437
01:11:27,520 --> 01:11:30,400
Speaker 1: quickly around the a f C North. The Bengals in

1438
01:11:30,560 --> 01:11:33,240
Speaker 1: first eleven and four, raven second ten and five. Steelers

1439
01:11:33,320 --> 01:11:35,599
Speaker 1: jumped to third at seven and eight after that late

1440
01:11:35,760 --> 01:11:39,439
Speaker 1: rally to defeat the Raiders on Saturday night. So half,

1441
01:11:39,560 --> 01:11:41,200
Speaker 1: let me ask you this, What's what's going on with

1442
01:11:41,280 --> 01:11:43,400
Speaker 1: the Raiders and and what did you think of Kenny

1443
01:11:43,400 --> 01:11:46,240
Speaker 1: Pickett to George Pickens, couple of rookies, big plays late

1444
01:11:46,280 --> 01:11:48,640
Speaker 1: for the Steelers. Yeah, I'm not sure what's going on

1445
01:11:48,800 --> 01:11:51,640
Speaker 1: with the Raiders. They started the game pretty good and

1446
01:11:51,720 --> 01:11:54,040
Speaker 1: then all of a sudden, it's like the wheels just off.

1447
01:11:54,120 --> 01:11:57,000
Speaker 1: They weren't really able to do anything offensively pretty much

1448
01:11:57,040 --> 01:11:59,800
Speaker 1: the rest of the afternoon. Uh Pittsburgh's got a good

1449
01:11:59,840 --> 01:12:01,559
Speaker 1: D sense, but you've got to be able to score

1450
01:12:01,600 --> 01:12:04,919
Speaker 1: more than ten points in a game if you're expecting

1451
01:12:05,360 --> 01:12:08,040
Speaker 1: to win. Uh, they were able to keep it close.

1452
01:12:08,080 --> 01:12:11,080
Speaker 1: They lost thirteen to ten, but Um, Kenny Pickett kind

1453
01:12:11,080 --> 01:12:12,880
Speaker 1: of had a little bit of a signature moment already

1454
01:12:12,920 --> 01:12:16,080
Speaker 1: in his rookie year being able to come back on night.

1455
01:12:16,200 --> 01:12:18,200
Speaker 1: That was very special for a lot of Steelers fans

1456
01:12:18,240 --> 01:12:21,720
Speaker 1: as they honored franko' harris with his tragic passing this

1457
01:12:21,840 --> 01:12:25,960
Speaker 1: past week. Um, and George Pickens looks like an absolute

1458
01:12:26,120 --> 01:12:29,639
Speaker 1: stud out there. I mean, watching Kenny Picketts George Pickens,

1459
01:12:29,880 --> 01:12:32,120
Speaker 1: that makes Steelers fans pretty happy. And I'm I'm not

1460
01:12:32,240 --> 01:12:35,400
Speaker 1: really happy but myself because I was hoping for some

1461
01:12:35,640 --> 01:12:39,920
Speaker 1: offensive lack of success there for several years, trying to

1462
01:12:39,920 --> 01:12:42,800
Speaker 1: figure out their quarterback position. But Kenny Pickett looks like

1463
01:12:43,040 --> 01:12:46,360
Speaker 1: he's grown really well into that position every week. He's

1464
01:12:46,360 --> 01:12:49,479
Speaker 1: got the confidence, he's got the moxie, and he's putting

1465
01:12:49,479 --> 01:12:52,960
Speaker 1: together some pretty good performances here already in his rookie season.

1466
01:12:54,160 --> 01:12:57,120
Speaker 1: All right around the NFL, the Broncos fired head coach

1467
01:12:57,200 --> 01:12:59,400
Speaker 1: Dathaniel Hackett. They should have done this weeks ago. They

1468
01:12:59,400 --> 01:13:01,559
Speaker 1: should have done it really after the first game when

1469
01:13:01,600 --> 01:13:03,320
Speaker 1: it was obvious he did not know what he was doing.

1470
01:13:04,040 --> 01:13:07,040
Speaker 1: But they made the decision after an absolute debacle against

1471
01:13:07,080 --> 01:13:09,960
Speaker 1: the Rams. What do you think of that? Yeah, I

1472
01:13:10,000 --> 01:13:13,200
Speaker 1: mean it was a long time coming, which is weird

1473
01:13:13,280 --> 01:13:15,080
Speaker 1: to say about the head coach who's only been there

1474
01:13:15,120 --> 01:13:18,720
Speaker 1: one season. Um, but the team just looks disorganized, their

1475
01:13:18,840 --> 01:13:22,000
Speaker 1: disarray constantly. There was no progress at any point during

1476
01:13:22,040 --> 01:13:24,800
Speaker 1: the season. And you give a first time head coach

1477
01:13:24,880 --> 01:13:28,920
Speaker 1: who's you know, figuring things out with Russell Wilson, a

1478
01:13:28,960 --> 01:13:30,479
Speaker 1: little bit of leeway at the beginning of the season,

1479
01:13:30,520 --> 01:13:32,600
Speaker 1: but you want to see some progress and to be

1480
01:13:32,720 --> 01:13:35,599
Speaker 1: embarrassed by Bakers and Mayfield in the Rams fifty one

1481
01:13:35,760 --> 01:13:37,679
Speaker 1: four team. I mean, Baker has been there a couple

1482
01:13:37,680 --> 01:13:40,080
Speaker 1: of weeks and he looked like the one that had

1483
01:13:40,080 --> 01:13:45,599
Speaker 1: been there forever. Uh not Russell Wilson going against Baker Mayfield.

1484
01:13:45,600 --> 01:13:48,240
Speaker 1: It was just sort of a bizarre game. Bad the

1485
01:13:48,280 --> 01:13:50,479
Speaker 1: Broncos are because they's just have a pretty good defense.

1486
01:13:50,920 --> 01:13:53,080
Speaker 1: But I guess when you can't just puts the drop

1487
01:13:53,160 --> 01:13:55,680
Speaker 1: on offense, it just puts so much pressure in your

1488
01:13:55,720 --> 01:13:58,200
Speaker 1: defense and then all of a sudden, the levies end

1489
01:13:58,280 --> 01:14:01,080
Speaker 1: up breaking, and I think it will be interesting. We

1490
01:14:01,160 --> 01:14:03,360
Speaker 1: kind of knew that Nathaniel Hackett was gonna get tired.

1491
01:14:03,400 --> 01:14:05,240
Speaker 1: But i'll'll see what the Broncos are gonna do with

1492
01:14:05,360 --> 01:14:09,040
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson, right, because you've got the big contract. Obviously

1493
01:14:09,320 --> 01:14:11,760
Speaker 1: they gave up a lot to get him, but they've

1494
01:14:11,800 --> 01:14:14,400
Speaker 1: got new ownership. The Walton family bought the team, and

1495
01:14:14,479 --> 01:14:17,840
Speaker 1: they might be willing to just swallow their medicine and

1496
01:14:17,960 --> 01:14:20,160
Speaker 1: just say, hey, we gotta give her Russell. Find out

1497
01:14:20,280 --> 01:14:21,960
Speaker 1: what we can get for him and just start over

1498
01:14:22,360 --> 01:14:25,519
Speaker 1: at the top with head coach, quarterback and wipe the

1499
01:14:25,560 --> 01:14:28,240
Speaker 1: slate clean. Be a lot of dead money they'd be

1500
01:14:28,320 --> 01:14:30,040
Speaker 1: dealing with. But then maybe it's a bet it's a

1501
01:14:30,080 --> 01:14:33,520
Speaker 1: sun cost at this point for the Denver Broncos. The Buccaneers.

1502
01:14:33,600 --> 01:14:36,919
Speaker 1: They gotta win in overtime over the Cardinals on Sunday.

1503
01:14:37,400 --> 01:14:40,040
Speaker 1: But today, Cardinals defensive end J. J. Watt announced that

1504
01:14:40,080 --> 01:14:42,960
Speaker 1: he will be retiring after the season. J J. Watt,

1505
01:14:43,600 --> 01:14:45,759
Speaker 1: it's certainly at the beginning of his career in Houston,

1506
01:14:45,920 --> 01:14:48,839
Speaker 1: was probably the most dominant defensive player on the planet.

1507
01:14:49,200 --> 01:14:51,640
Speaker 1: Where does he rank for you? You know, peak of

1508
01:14:51,680 --> 01:14:53,519
Speaker 1: his powers as guys that you had to deal with,

1509
01:14:53,680 --> 01:14:55,280
Speaker 1: and and how often did you have to deal with

1510
01:14:55,360 --> 01:14:57,400
Speaker 1: him or was he always inside of when we played them,

1511
01:14:58,760 --> 01:15:01,519
Speaker 1: who's mostly inside when we played against him, Occasionally he'd

1512
01:15:01,520 --> 01:15:04,320
Speaker 1: bump outside. And then later on in his career he

1513
01:15:04,479 --> 01:15:06,000
Speaker 1: kind of found a home a little bit more on

1514
01:15:06,040 --> 01:15:08,360
Speaker 1: the right side of the offensive line, playing kind of

1515
01:15:08,439 --> 01:15:11,960
Speaker 1: over that right guard, right tackle, and he had so

1516
01:15:12,080 --> 01:15:14,160
Speaker 1: much freedom, especially when he was in Houston, to kind

1517
01:15:14,160 --> 01:15:15,560
Speaker 1: of do whatever he wants, and then the guys that

1518
01:15:15,600 --> 01:15:18,439
Speaker 1: were playing behind him a linebacker would just try to

1519
01:15:18,560 --> 01:15:20,479
Speaker 1: clean up the mess. And I think that's part of

1520
01:15:20,560 --> 01:15:23,760
Speaker 1: the thing that made him so special was his unpredictability.

1521
01:15:23,840 --> 01:15:26,000
Speaker 1: Like he'd be lining up over the guard and you

1522
01:15:26,080 --> 01:15:28,439
Speaker 1: look at the defense and the structure and where guys

1523
01:15:28,880 --> 01:15:33,280
Speaker 1: usually our gap assigned, and you couldn't predict whether he

1524
01:15:33,360 --> 01:15:35,160
Speaker 1: was going to be in that B gap, the SE gap,

1525
01:15:35,240 --> 01:15:37,240
Speaker 1: the A gap, because they gave him freedom to go

1526
01:15:37,320 --> 01:15:38,800
Speaker 1: where ever he wants because he was just so good

1527
01:15:38,920 --> 01:15:41,360
Speaker 1: making guys missed with that swim move. I mean, I

1528
01:15:41,439 --> 01:15:43,479
Speaker 1: think he probably had the best swim move of any

1529
01:15:43,520 --> 01:15:46,840
Speaker 1: guy that I've ever seen um and that's still to

1530
01:15:47,000 --> 01:15:51,000
Speaker 1: day what's getting him home in Arizona, like his ability

1531
01:15:51,120 --> 01:15:54,120
Speaker 1: to kind of feel the way the offensive lineman is leaning,

1532
01:15:54,720 --> 01:15:56,680
Speaker 1: put enough pressure on the offensive lineman to get the

1533
01:15:56,720 --> 01:15:59,240
Speaker 1: lineman leaning out over his toes a little bit and

1534
01:15:59,320 --> 01:16:02,040
Speaker 1: then do a quick snatching a swim with the arm over.

1535
01:16:02,680 --> 01:16:06,200
Speaker 1: I mean, that's basically his entire game, and it's still

1536
01:16:06,240 --> 01:16:09,040
Speaker 1: amazing for a guy that doesn't have a ton of

1537
01:16:09,120 --> 01:16:13,200
Speaker 1: moves for us almost every time. And I think at

1538
01:16:13,200 --> 01:16:16,320
Speaker 1: the peak of his dominance, he wasn't as dominant as

1539
01:16:16,400 --> 01:16:19,439
Speaker 1: Aaron Donald on a one play basis, but on a

1540
01:16:20,439 --> 01:16:22,760
Speaker 1: seventy play throughout the entire course of the game, I

1541
01:16:22,800 --> 01:16:25,200
Speaker 1: would say he's the most dominant player I ever saw

1542
01:16:25,880 --> 01:16:28,640
Speaker 1: because he just played so hard. Like the sideline, the

1543
01:16:28,680 --> 01:16:30,519
Speaker 1: sideline he was in on every play, he was knocking

1544
01:16:30,600 --> 01:16:32,760
Speaker 1: balls down if he couldn't get to the quarterback, he

1545
01:16:32,960 --> 01:16:35,200
Speaker 1: was back from the running back in the backfield for

1546
01:16:35,280 --> 01:16:39,000
Speaker 1: TFLs in run game. I mean, he just did it

1547
01:16:39,120 --> 01:16:42,040
Speaker 1: all and he was impactful on every play. You know,

1548
01:16:42,760 --> 01:16:44,960
Speaker 1: not to say Aaron Donald ever disappears, but he will

1549
01:16:45,000 --> 01:16:47,280
Speaker 1: go stretches where he's not making big plays and then

1550
01:16:47,280 --> 01:16:49,679
Speaker 1: all of a sudden he shows up with some enormous

1551
01:16:49,720 --> 01:16:52,280
Speaker 1: plays when it matters. But I just I can't even

1552
01:16:52,320 --> 01:16:54,880
Speaker 1: remember any even his brother t J. Like I don't.

1553
01:16:54,920 --> 01:16:57,439
Speaker 1: I don't think I ever remember seeing anybody play as

1554
01:16:57,560 --> 01:17:00,600
Speaker 1: hard as JJ was playing in those three seasons that

1555
01:17:00,680 --> 01:17:03,600
Speaker 1: he one defensive Player of the year. Hey, he's a

1556
01:17:03,600 --> 01:17:06,920
Speaker 1: special and incredible career. He will likely head to Canton

1557
01:17:07,000 --> 01:17:08,759
Speaker 1: when it is all said and done, I would imagine,

1558
01:17:08,800 --> 01:17:11,719
Speaker 1: because dominant, I mean, the resume more than speaks for itself.

1559
01:17:12,000 --> 01:17:14,080
Speaker 1: All right, half, this is from Gibbe. He wants to

1560
01:17:14,160 --> 01:17:16,439
Speaker 1: know do we need to recede playoff teams at the

1561
01:17:16,560 --> 01:17:18,240
Speaker 1: end of the season. As of now, the Jags and

1562
01:17:18,280 --> 01:17:20,040
Speaker 1: Bucks would have home field advantage in the first round

1563
01:17:20,080 --> 01:17:22,719
Speaker 1: the playoffs with losing records because they won their division.

1564
01:17:23,160 --> 01:17:25,400
Speaker 1: I think it's fine, it ain't broke, don't fix it.

1565
01:17:25,439 --> 01:17:29,240
Speaker 1: What do you think of I actually like the idea.

1566
01:17:29,479 --> 01:17:32,000
Speaker 1: UM I know a lot is always said, you have

1567
01:17:32,120 --> 01:17:35,240
Speaker 1: these teams that win their division with losing records. Um

1568
01:17:35,400 --> 01:17:37,920
Speaker 1: about you know what what should we redo in the

1569
01:17:37,960 --> 01:17:40,920
Speaker 1: playoffs to maybe make it more fair? And you know

1570
01:17:41,000 --> 01:17:43,639
Speaker 1: one of the options is just take the best seven

1571
01:17:43,760 --> 01:17:46,479
Speaker 1: teams record wise with tiebreakers. Right. I don't like that.

1572
01:17:46,640 --> 01:17:49,719
Speaker 1: I like giving credit to guys that win their division.

1573
01:17:49,760 --> 01:17:51,800
Speaker 1: Two teams that win their division, right, so I think

1574
01:17:51,840 --> 01:17:54,040
Speaker 1: that's good. But once you get into the playoffs, I

1575
01:17:54,080 --> 01:17:56,320
Speaker 1: would like to see a received so you aren't seeing

1576
01:17:56,360 --> 01:18:00,040
Speaker 1: these teams that are just bad like I'm gonna be this.

1577
01:18:00,160 --> 01:18:02,200
Speaker 1: Did the Buccaneers make it? I think they're a bad team.

1578
01:18:02,520 --> 01:18:06,479
Speaker 1: They should not be hosting a home field home playoff

1579
01:18:06,560 --> 01:18:09,680
Speaker 1: game just because they won their division. The Jaguars, now,

1580
01:18:09,720 --> 01:18:12,040
Speaker 1: they're actually a better team because they kind of started slow,

1581
01:18:12,120 --> 01:18:14,519
Speaker 1: and I think it was because of the newness of

1582
01:18:14,600 --> 01:18:17,840
Speaker 1: the offense, the newness of that team with a new

1583
01:18:17,960 --> 01:18:20,840
Speaker 1: head coach coming in there, Doug Peterson. Um. But now

1584
01:18:20,920 --> 01:18:22,680
Speaker 1: that they're rolling a little bit like third team that

1585
01:18:22,760 --> 01:18:24,360
Speaker 1: you look at them and you feel like they would

1586
01:18:24,400 --> 01:18:27,160
Speaker 1: be deserving if they win their division to host the

1587
01:18:27,200 --> 01:18:30,679
Speaker 1: home playoff game. Um. But I do like the idea

1588
01:18:30,680 --> 01:18:32,760
Speaker 1: of a receipt just to make it a little bit

1589
01:18:32,840 --> 01:18:36,200
Speaker 1: more fair, uh, and not give guys credit for kind

1590
01:18:36,200 --> 01:18:38,320
Speaker 1: of falling off the log and winning a crappy division.

1591
01:18:41,320 --> 01:18:44,600
Speaker 1: M mmmmmm, well, I know, I hear you. I just

1592
01:18:44,640 --> 01:18:46,639
Speaker 1: think when in your division is something to it you play.

1593
01:18:46,680 --> 01:18:49,400
Speaker 1: Everybody played this game schedule basically right in terms of

1594
01:18:49,840 --> 01:18:52,680
Speaker 1: in that division and that and that gets you something. Um,

1595
01:18:54,120 --> 01:18:56,599
Speaker 1: I go back to and if I'm trying to remember

1596
01:18:56,680 --> 01:19:00,200
Speaker 1: what year this is, the Seahawks one when into the

1597
01:19:00,200 --> 01:19:03,400
Speaker 1: playoffs with a seven and nine record and the New

1598
01:19:03,560 --> 01:19:05,960
Speaker 1: Orleans Saints had to come in and play them, and

1599
01:19:06,040 --> 01:19:08,839
Speaker 1: that was the one where they, like the director registered

1600
01:19:08,880 --> 01:19:11,160
Speaker 1: on the Richter scale, beast Mode had his big touchdown

1601
01:19:11,320 --> 01:19:14,240
Speaker 1: sixty seven yard touchdown running. Look, I mean it's the playoffs.

1602
01:19:14,360 --> 01:19:16,200
Speaker 1: I think it's cool that you win your division, you

1603
01:19:16,240 --> 01:19:18,200
Speaker 1: get a home playoff game. If listen, if you happen

1604
01:19:18,240 --> 01:19:20,800
Speaker 1: to be the best of the worst, lucky for you.

1605
01:19:20,920 --> 01:19:24,800
Speaker 1: I guess yeah. I like to eliminate luck when it

1606
01:19:24,840 --> 01:19:27,680
Speaker 1: comes to the NFL playoffs as much as we can know.

1607
01:19:27,760 --> 01:19:30,960
Speaker 1: I understand the excitement and the joy, but maybe, if anything,

1608
01:19:31,040 --> 01:19:33,679
Speaker 1: that game is an example of what you should receive.

1609
01:19:33,800 --> 01:19:36,719
Speaker 1: Because so the Saints, you know, they're a Dome team,

1610
01:19:37,360 --> 01:19:40,599
Speaker 1: they're obviously if they're gonna be playing in New Orleans,

1611
01:19:41,120 --> 01:19:43,760
Speaker 1: that's a much different game. It goes completely differently. It

1612
01:19:43,880 --> 01:19:47,080
Speaker 1: might have even won that game, I mean, obviously hindsights. Uh,

1613
01:19:47,680 --> 01:19:49,920
Speaker 1: best to be talking about a game that happened that

1614
01:19:50,000 --> 01:19:54,320
Speaker 1: long ago, but they need to win their division. Yeah,

1615
01:19:54,439 --> 01:19:56,320
Speaker 1: I get I get it, but the division is tough.

1616
01:19:56,439 --> 01:19:58,800
Speaker 1: Like sometimes you look at the NFC East right on,

1617
01:19:58,920 --> 01:20:01,479
Speaker 1: the two best teams in the entire NFC, or the

1618
01:20:01,560 --> 01:20:04,439
Speaker 1: Giants and the Cowboys. I mean you could, I mean

1619
01:20:04,640 --> 01:20:06,240
Speaker 1: not the Giants of the Eagles and the Cowboys, and

1620
01:20:06,280 --> 01:20:08,800
Speaker 1: the Giants are probably gonna make the playoffs too, um,

1621
01:20:09,320 --> 01:20:11,439
Speaker 1: And so you're gonna say, like, the two best teams

1622
01:20:12,120 --> 01:20:14,320
Speaker 1: in the conference are going to potentially go down to

1623
01:20:14,400 --> 01:20:16,640
Speaker 1: the wire, and one team is gonna win and get

1624
01:20:16,680 --> 01:20:19,240
Speaker 1: the number one seed, get a buy and the team

1625
01:20:19,280 --> 01:20:21,800
Speaker 1: that maybe it's edged out let's just say by a

1626
01:20:21,960 --> 01:20:24,519
Speaker 1: tiebreaker in their own division, is gonna have to go

1627
01:20:24,640 --> 01:20:26,840
Speaker 1: off the road and play one of these teams at

1628
01:20:26,880 --> 01:20:29,040
Speaker 1: seven and nine and maybe get bumped. Now, I like,

1629
01:20:29,120 --> 01:20:31,519
Speaker 1: there's more storylines with it. So I totally understand that

1630
01:20:31,600 --> 01:20:37,880
Speaker 1: side of it, But from a potentially fairness standpoint, making

1631
01:20:37,880 --> 01:20:42,160
Speaker 1: sure that the regular season has as much value as possible,

1632
01:20:42,280 --> 01:20:46,000
Speaker 1: especially as we're adding games, giving teams that finished with

1633
01:20:46,120 --> 01:20:50,880
Speaker 1: a much better record, better favorability with home field, and

1634
01:20:50,920 --> 01:20:53,120
Speaker 1: who they have to go and play in the playoffs,

1635
01:20:53,200 --> 01:20:55,040
Speaker 1: I think seems like a fair trade off as you're

1636
01:20:55,040 --> 01:20:58,720
Speaker 1: adding regular games there it is. There's the case from

1637
01:20:58,760 --> 01:21:00,439
Speaker 1: the half mine, I say, keep it the same. I

1638
01:21:00,520 --> 01:21:02,240
Speaker 1: like the fact that the vision you get to if

1639
01:21:02,280 --> 01:21:03,760
Speaker 1: you wanted to beat some of your divisions, sweep them

1640
01:21:03,800 --> 01:21:05,600
Speaker 1: in the season, you've got a chance to control. I

1641
01:21:05,640 --> 01:21:08,000
Speaker 1: feel like there's more control over who wins their division

1642
01:21:08,120 --> 01:21:11,400
Speaker 1: rather than the other stuff because you play basically the

1643
01:21:11,479 --> 01:21:14,200
Speaker 1: same record or the same schedule. Basically there are certain

1644
01:21:14,240 --> 01:21:16,240
Speaker 1: differences where you matched in seating, but you'll play the

1645
01:21:16,400 --> 01:21:18,880
Speaker 1: you know, the same representative in the other divisions. It's

1646
01:21:18,960 --> 01:21:22,519
Speaker 1: it's an interesting one. It's funny, you know. On one hand,

1647
01:21:22,960 --> 01:21:24,639
Speaker 1: you know, you say, oh man, I gotta go play

1648
01:21:24,760 --> 01:21:26,680
Speaker 1: these teams. But on the other hand, those teams have

1649
01:21:26,840 --> 01:21:28,479
Speaker 1: losing records, so you should be able to beat them

1650
01:21:28,640 --> 01:21:30,320
Speaker 1: if you're ready to take care of your business and

1651
01:21:30,520 --> 01:21:33,080
Speaker 1: and get it done. I like that though. I like competition.

1652
01:21:33,120 --> 01:21:36,400
Speaker 1: I think it's fun. We're gonna be in in d C. Well,

1653
01:21:36,400 --> 01:21:38,120
Speaker 1: and actually no we're not. We're gonna be in Maryland

1654
01:21:38,720 --> 01:21:40,720
Speaker 1: for New Year's Eve. Do you have any big New

1655
01:21:40,840 --> 01:21:44,800
Speaker 1: Year's Eve plans? Off? Nothing crazy? So I'll be coming

1656
01:21:44,840 --> 01:21:48,160
Speaker 1: back from Tennessee. On Friday, UH pick up kids go

1657
01:21:48,200 --> 01:21:50,320
Speaker 1: out to the farm for a couple of days, and

1658
01:21:50,360 --> 01:21:52,960
Speaker 1: we're gonna celebrate New Year's Eve at the farm with

1659
01:21:53,040 --> 01:21:55,479
Speaker 1: the cows and the coats and the chickens. So it

1660
01:21:55,479 --> 01:21:58,720
Speaker 1: should be fun with the kids. UH will probably set

1661
01:21:58,840 --> 01:22:02,240
Speaker 1: the New Year's alow at ten PM and play a

1662
01:22:02,320 --> 01:22:05,240
Speaker 1: recording of last year's New Year's ball drop so that

1663
01:22:05,320 --> 01:22:09,800
Speaker 1: we can get to wait till midnight. That is an

1664
01:22:09,880 --> 01:22:12,599
Speaker 1: elite trick right there from the half folks play last

1665
01:22:12,720 --> 01:22:15,040
Speaker 1: year's ball drop, and when they do you just when

1666
01:22:15,080 --> 01:22:18,479
Speaker 1: you when they say welcome to say twenty three really loud,

1667
01:22:18,560 --> 01:22:25,480
Speaker 1: So they just misspoke. It was they didn't want two

1686
01:23:43,960 --> 01:23:46,840
Speaker 1: we'll get back to turn the page. We will meet

1687
01:23:46,880 --> 01:23:49,320
Speaker 1: the Commanders. They have not announced who will start at

1688
01:23:49,360 --> 01:23:53,280
Speaker 1: quarterback yet. They have a debacle on their hands. Sinicky Wentz,

1689
01:23:54,439 --> 01:23:56,800
Speaker 1: give me the big game. I'd love to see big

1690
01:23:56,960 --> 01:23:59,680
Speaker 1: game for them. Yeah, it's a huge game for them

1691
01:24:00,000 --> 01:24:01,960
Speaker 1: as they try to keep their playoff hopes alive. And

1692
01:24:02,000 --> 01:24:03,880
Speaker 1: we'll be able to should look and see who our

1693
01:24:03,920 --> 01:24:06,960
Speaker 1: TV crew is for this right now, they are currently

1694
01:24:07,080 --> 01:24:10,280
Speaker 1: the seven seed in the NFC. Are the Commanders because

1695
01:24:10,320 --> 01:24:14,280
Speaker 1: of their tie they are seven seven and one. They're

1696
01:24:14,680 --> 01:24:18,559
Speaker 1: one game ahead of Seattle, Detroit, Green Bay. So if

1697
01:24:18,600 --> 01:24:22,479
Speaker 1: they can't afford to slip they lose, those teams could

1698
01:24:22,479 --> 01:24:25,800
Speaker 1: pass them with a win. This week, I feel like

1699
01:24:25,920 --> 01:24:30,400
Speaker 1: the pack Packs looking almost control their their destiny. So

1700
01:24:30,479 --> 01:24:38,559
Speaker 1: the Commanders play the Browns, the Packers play the Vikings,

1701
01:24:38,680 --> 01:24:40,640
Speaker 1: so tough game for the Packers there. They play the

1702
01:24:40,800 --> 01:24:44,439
Speaker 1: Vikings in Green Bay though in green Bay. And then

1703
01:24:44,560 --> 01:24:48,120
Speaker 1: we said the Seahawks. They play the Jets at home,

1704
01:24:48,160 --> 01:24:50,280
Speaker 1: who are reeling, so Seahawks could easily win. And then

1705
01:24:50,320 --> 01:24:54,840
Speaker 1: the Lions play the Bears also in Detroit. So those

1706
01:24:54,880 --> 01:24:57,720
Speaker 1: three teams that are behind them all are at home.

1707
01:24:57,880 --> 01:25:00,439
Speaker 1: They're all favored to win. The Browns and the Commanders

1708
01:25:00,439 --> 01:25:02,479
Speaker 1: will see if the Browns can play a little spoiler.

1709
01:25:02,520 --> 01:25:04,080
Speaker 1: And that's really that's all you that's all you can

1710
01:25:04,120 --> 01:25:06,519
Speaker 1: hope for at this point. That's it. TV Game is

1711
01:25:06,680 --> 01:25:10,880
Speaker 1: on Fox this week. Okay, Adam a mean, Mark Schlareth

1712
01:25:11,600 --> 01:25:16,599
Speaker 1: and Christina Pink alright, Mark schlaireth there it is, yeah,

1713
01:25:17,040 --> 01:25:22,400
Speaker 1: there you go. Unbelievable, unbelievable, this is where we are.

1714
01:25:22,479 --> 01:25:24,360
Speaker 1: But it is. And and for the Browns, it's your

1715
01:25:24,400 --> 01:25:27,040
Speaker 1: opportunity to try to go ahead and make the best

1716
01:25:27,120 --> 01:25:28,479
Speaker 1: of it, get a win here and then go on

1717
01:25:28,640 --> 01:25:30,679
Speaker 1: and try to sweep the Steelers, and we just found

1718
01:25:30,760 --> 01:25:37,360
Speaker 1: out for the first time. Since that's a big deal.

1719
01:25:37,760 --> 01:25:39,680
Speaker 1: It's a really big I'd obviously like to win this game,

1720
01:25:39,720 --> 01:25:40,800
Speaker 1: so you have a little momentum. We can have a

1721
01:25:40,800 --> 01:25:43,240
Speaker 1: little fund next weekend when we talk about that. Let's

1722
01:25:43,280 --> 01:25:46,160
Speaker 1: go on and go. Let's let's go get two wins here. Please,

1723
01:25:47,320 --> 01:25:49,400
Speaker 1: gotta do it. Gotta do it. Steeler's line. If you

1724
01:25:49,439 --> 01:25:50,519
Speaker 1: have to win one of these two, you want to

1725
01:25:50,520 --> 01:25:53,320
Speaker 1: wait beet the Steelers. Yes, four and two in the division.

1726
01:25:54,200 --> 01:25:57,000
Speaker 1: That's how weird a year it's been, you know, four

1727
01:25:57,040 --> 01:25:59,120
Speaker 1: and two in the division and still and that means

1728
01:25:59,160 --> 01:26:03,120
Speaker 1: that you would go four and seven outside of the division.

1729
01:26:04,080 --> 01:26:09,120
Speaker 1: Not great. That's that's with a win over the Commanders,

1730
01:26:09,200 --> 01:26:12,360
Speaker 1: by the way, Yeah, without that, you could go three

1731
01:26:12,439 --> 01:26:16,880
Speaker 1: and outside of the division. Come on, it's New Year's

1732
