Speaker 1: Santa Claus at the mall is amazing, And it was

16
00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:49,680
Speaker 1: like such a beautiful image. And then you told me, well,

17
00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:51,239
Speaker 1: but I drugged the hell out of him too.

18
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:53,920
Speaker 5: Oh no, I gave him a tras doone and he

19
00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:57,640
Speaker 5: gets triggered easily by pretty much everything and anything. So

20
00:00:57,720 --> 00:01:01,080
Speaker 5: bringing Dasher to a mall where there's people and then

21
00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:04,360
Speaker 5: other dogs, yeah, you know, there's just things around every corner.

22
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:05,360
Speaker 2: You don't know what's gonna.

23
00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:08,440
Speaker 3: Happen among us has never popped the gummy and walked

24
00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:08,840
Speaker 3: the mall.

25
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:13,560
Speaker 1: Sure, it just felt like it was puncturing my idyllic

26
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:14,080
Speaker 1: you know.

27
00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:16,520
Speaker 5: So Dash had a great knife and then he just

28
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:18,200
Speaker 5: melted into the couch afterwards.

29
00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:19,400
Speaker 2: Yeah.

30
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:21,839
Speaker 4: Do you think the Santa was drugged up.

31
00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:28,360
Speaker 5: Or I cannot confirm friendly? Because very friendly, because poor Eric.

32
00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:30,960
Speaker 5: I don't know if you got a mic on you

33
00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:33,920
Speaker 5: right now. Eric goes to the mall earlier this week,

34
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:37,160
Speaker 5: brings his you know, lovely baby for the very first

35
00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:38,679
Speaker 5: time their panic and he doesn't have a MIC on

36
00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:41,080
Speaker 5: him right now, and.

37
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:45,080
Speaker 1: The Santa wasn't friendly to them at all because his baby,

38
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:45,720
Speaker 1: you explained.

39
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:48,000
Speaker 6: Yeah, so he me and my wife walked up to

40
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:50,480
Speaker 6: the Santa Claus and I think he kind of connected

41
00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:53,880
Speaker 6: the dots that hey, this baby's a baby six months old.

42
00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:56,760
Speaker 6: He didn't play the role at all connected. He's kind

43
00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:58,160
Speaker 6: of just talked to me my wife like it was

44
00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:01,440
Speaker 6: some regular dude. And he's talking as if my baby

45
00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:03,560
Speaker 6: saw him. He's like, who the hell's that guy? No,

46
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:05,960
Speaker 6: it's like, yeah, he did give you a ho ho

47
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:07,160
Speaker 6: ho a jolly laugh.

48
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:12,120
Speaker 3: Right, you should the illusion immediately. Yeah, an impressionable young child.

49
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:14,120
Speaker 3: Sanda never broke character with Dasher.

50
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:16,800
Speaker 4: That's your dog got a better experience than my baby.

51
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:21,000
Speaker 1: That's a professional Santa there. Now I do get it

52
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:24,000
Speaker 1: on some level as a parent. There is that year

53
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:26,160
Speaker 1: where you'll say whatever the hell you want in front

54
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:29,160
Speaker 1: of your baby because it's a baby. It doesn't really

55
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:31,520
Speaker 1: understand anything. And then he realized after a certain way,

56
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:33,160
Speaker 1: you can't. You can't say anything.

57
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:35,840
Speaker 3: The problem is, though, Eric, You're gonna have to be

58
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:39,400
Speaker 3: careful about how you tell that story, because that's gonna

59
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:41,640
Speaker 3: be a great story eventually that you and your wife

60
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:44,440
Speaker 3: tell over the holidays. But now you're gonna have to

61
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:46,560
Speaker 3: be careful about how you tell it and who it's

62
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:50,239
Speaker 3: in front of, because imagine saying, Santa broke the illusion.

63
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:51,960
Speaker 4: Yeah you can. You can't tell that story.

64
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:54,880
Speaker 6: You'll tell that a like, oh, you know, he puts you,

65
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:57,160
Speaker 6: you gave him me, you google got God, you wanted

66
00:02:57,160 --> 00:02:59,520
Speaker 6: a rattle or whatever, and he laughed the day away

67
00:02:59,560 --> 00:02:59,840
Speaker 6: or whatever.

68
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:04,240
Speaker 1: I'm getting at a lot of hard questions from my son.

69
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:08,200
Speaker 1: Oh this year nine years old, that's about the time

70
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:09,440
Speaker 1: we got a big show today.

71
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:10,800
Speaker 4: I'm excited for this.

72
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:13,320
Speaker 2: It just keeps getting bigger and bigger too. It's beef

73
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:13,720
Speaker 2: a show.

74
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:18,240
Speaker 1: Okay, we're giving Christmas gifts. We're giving Christmas gifts to

75
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:21,040
Speaker 1: teams that that need it. It's a little bit of

76
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:23,840
Speaker 1: like a secret Sanda. Yeah, and that's going to be

77
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:27,000
Speaker 1: really exciting. We're going to preview Broncos and Chargers, but

78
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:29,000
Speaker 1: we're going to start with a very short segment that

79
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:29,960
Speaker 1: I added to the mix.

80
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:32,800
Speaker 4: And everyone with huh.

81
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:35,160
Speaker 1: Anxiety is and thrilled that we added a segment at

82
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:37,080
Speaker 1: the last second about the coaching carousel.

83
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:38,640
Speaker 4: I just feel like we haven't to.

84
00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:40,720
Speaker 2: Bring something to the show like information.

85
00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:43,680
Speaker 1: You do, you know a lot, You've been around the league,

86
00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:45,360
Speaker 1: you have takes, and the thing is, this is going

87
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:47,880
Speaker 1: to be really quick. We talked about maybe this could

88
00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 1: be its own show, but I just feel like now

89
00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:52,400
Speaker 1: is the time the coaching moves are going to happen.

90
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:53,160
Speaker 4: So what we're going to do.

91
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:55,160
Speaker 1: We're going to put a minute on the clock, Max,

92
00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:56,400
Speaker 1: But I don't even think we need a minute. I

93
00:03:56,400 --> 00:04:00,360
Speaker 1: just want to go through all the potential situations of

94
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:03,200
Speaker 1: what's out there for the coaches and who could and

95
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:05,800
Speaker 1: could not be losing their jobs over the next couple

96
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 1: of weeks.

97
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:08,600
Speaker 7: Lovely to discuss right around the holidays.

98
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:11,400
Speaker 1: Yes, okay, so let's go, let's put let's put a

99
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:14,000
Speaker 1: clock on. So three teams, by the way, have already

100
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:16,320
Speaker 1: fire their coaches. We don't need to talk about them.

101
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:20,200
Speaker 1: That's the Jets, the Saints, and the Bears. I only

102
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:23,920
Speaker 1: I have four categories. One categories he gone, which Doug

103
00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:25,360
Speaker 1: Peterson and the Jaguars.

104
00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:27,320
Speaker 4: I don't think there's much to say here.

105
00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:30,240
Speaker 1: I appreciate actually that they just decided we're just gonna

106
00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:31,960
Speaker 1: keeping the rest of the year. He's the best coach

107
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:35,000
Speaker 1: in the building, and we'll handle everything. It is interesting.

108
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:37,839
Speaker 1: Our friend Oli Connelly reported that Bill Belichick had a

109
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:40,920
Speaker 1: conversation with the Jaguars. He said that on his podcast.

110
00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:42,960
Speaker 1: So I feel like that's the public now, and it

111
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:45,039
Speaker 1: did not go well. So there we were already talking

112
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:47,239
Speaker 1: to people Peterson's well.

113
00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:50,200
Speaker 3: Like I mentioned that early in September, the time of year,

114
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:52,960
Speaker 3: I kept bringing this up about the Jaguars, in particular,

115
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:56,239
Speaker 3: that the vultures were starting to circle around a couple

116
00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:59,400
Speaker 3: of jobs, specifically that would undoubtedly be losing their head

117
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:03,480
Speaker 3: coaches either in season or at the end of the season.

118
00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:06,599
Speaker 3: The Jaguars were one of those teams that kept coming

119
00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:08,920
Speaker 3: up in those conversations as coaches who are currently free

120
00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:11,640
Speaker 3: agents were identifying and putting together staffs.

121
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:13,080
Speaker 7: Bill Belichick included.

122
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:15,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, and he obviously didn't get that job. They'll probably

123
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:16,520
Speaker 1: replace their I wonder.

124
00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:18,880
Speaker 2: If will end up there, just back in the division.

125
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:21,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, it doesn't seem like the Browns are gonna hire him.

126
00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:23,960
Speaker 1: He's in the building there. So the next category's three teams.

127
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:27,160
Speaker 1: I just solid chance, like there's a decent chance. So

128
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:29,839
Speaker 1: Doug would take it to four changes. There's usually about

129
00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:32,160
Speaker 1: six to seven. We could have more this year. Start

130
00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:35,640
Speaker 1: with a Giants. They've been publicly out there John Mara,

131
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:40,160
Speaker 1: their owner, that they're committed to Brian Dable.

132
00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:43,960
Speaker 4: It was like a room, Yeah, you gotta you gotta

133
00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:48,280
Speaker 4: worry kids. Uh, we're waving at them.

134
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:49,520
Speaker 7: We're recording right now.

135
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:52,520
Speaker 2: Hello, will the Giants be waving by?

136
00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:56,520
Speaker 1: There you go, Brian Able, I think he's probably gone

137
00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:59,200
Speaker 1: the way this is going. I don't believe John Mara

138
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:01,400
Speaker 1: in this case, like I believe he meant it when

139
00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:01,840
Speaker 1: he said it.

140
00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:05,080
Speaker 4: But you got the you got the airplane going overhead.

141
00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:07,320
Speaker 3: But the only thing that trips me up on this

142
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:10,160
Speaker 3: is he so publicly said he was going to give

143
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:12,919
Speaker 3: them another year, both of them. I get that, but

144
00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:15,680
Speaker 3: he also like, why not do it already then?

145
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:16,280
Speaker 5: Right?

146
00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:18,279
Speaker 7: That's that's the only thing. It keeps tripping me up.

147
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:20,800
Speaker 3: Like we kind of already have known that Doug Peterson

148
00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:23,119
Speaker 3: is a foregone conclusion, and by the way, ownership hasn't

149
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:25,360
Speaker 3: come out and emphatically stated he's going to give him

150
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:27,520
Speaker 3: more time. That's what's tripping me up about this situation

151
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:29,760
Speaker 3: with John Mara and you hear kind of you know,

152
00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:31,960
Speaker 3: people go back and forth up in that market, Well,

153
00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:34,479
Speaker 3: could could they really get give them more time or not.

154
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:39,440
Speaker 3: It's just the fact that it hasn't already happened is

155
00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:40,200
Speaker 3: what's tripping me up.

156
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:42,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, and that's why I say solid chance that one

157
00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:43,520
Speaker 1: I'm going to go like sixty forty.

158
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:46,520
Speaker 4: Okay, Antonio Pearce in Vegas gone.

159
00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:48,800
Speaker 2: I know he just said that he's under contract for

160
00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:49,360
Speaker 2: next year.

161
00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:53,240
Speaker 1: But I think that Tom Brady factor is a real

162
00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:57,040
Speaker 1: factor people around the league, you know, those in the know,

163
00:06:57,120 --> 00:06:58,920
Speaker 1: they think Tom Brady's going to be a pretty active

164
00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:02,320
Speaker 1: owner considering the relatively low percentage state.

165
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:05,040
Speaker 3: Mark Davis was on the record with my colleague DeShawn

166
00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:08,360
Speaker 3: Reid last week at the league meetings, or at the

167
00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:10,720
Speaker 3: one of the many league meetings that take place, saying

168
00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:13,400
Speaker 3: he was going to be a significant factor in making

169
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:15,760
Speaker 3: decisions for this franchise. You know, he has Mark Davis'

170
00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:17,800
Speaker 3: zer already and that's a factor here.

171
00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:20,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, when I have to shine back on the show.

172
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:21,720
Speaker 1: We were talking about having him back on the show,

173
00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:22,760
Speaker 1: and then the Raiders.

174
00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:25,200
Speaker 7: Just they're just he was about talking to market.

175
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:27,320
Speaker 1: I was, they're so not relevant. I said, look, if

176
00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:29,160
Speaker 1: they make a coaching change, we got to get I

177
00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:30,760
Speaker 1: hope that's not the only time he can be on,

178
00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:32,080
Speaker 1: but let's get him back on the show.

179
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:32,720
Speaker 4: Let's go to the.

180
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:36,000
Speaker 1: Cowboys Mike McCarthy. The longer this goes and they're more

181
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:39,960
Speaker 1: reporting around the Cowboys, is actually that Mike McCarthy has

182
00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:43,240
Speaker 1: a decent chance to stay is Yeah? Do you think

183
00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:46,000
Speaker 1: like Jerry Jones and Stephen Jones and their sources are

184
00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:48,960
Speaker 1: just like gas lading us, Because it's a pretty surprising

185
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:52,320
Speaker 1: development that the season went as poorly as humanly possible

186
00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:54,640
Speaker 1: and Mike McCarthy would be back.

187
00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:55,600
Speaker 4: That doesn't make sense to me.

188
00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:58,440
Speaker 5: Uh No, Well, especially with what Dak said when he

189
00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:00,640
Speaker 5: was like, you know, if mcarthy, he comes back and

190
00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:02,520
Speaker 5: is allowed or sort of like, you know, give it

191
00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:05,920
Speaker 5: a little bit more. I don't know, responsibility to tax

192
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:07,400
Speaker 5: on the offense, yeah.

193
00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:08,040
Speaker 2: To do his thing.

194
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:09,200
Speaker 4: I don't buy it.

195
00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:13,040
Speaker 1: I actually still think McCarthy is more than likely gone.

196
00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:15,440
Speaker 1: I just think they're like raising the intrigue.

197
00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:17,960
Speaker 3: I think this is another way of planting the seeds

198
00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:19,920
Speaker 3: to get us to talk about the Cowboys for a

199
00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:22,680
Speaker 3: lot longer into the off season. But the fact that

200
00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:26,120
Speaker 3: Dak Prescott was lobbying for McCarthy, that is someone that

201
00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:28,560
Speaker 3: Jerry Jones is going to listen to. And he won't

202
00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:31,880
Speaker 3: necessarily listen to a lot of people, but Dak Prescott,

203
00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:33,920
Speaker 3: who he just paid the most money to any player

204
00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:36,760
Speaker 3: he's ever paid, Like he's going to listen to Dak.

205
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:38,960
Speaker 1: Jerry Jones is getting up there in life too, and

206
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:41,559
Speaker 1: it's like, do I really want to find another coach

207
00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:44,440
Speaker 1: that might I might not work with. Well, Mike McCarthy's

208
00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:48,439
Speaker 1: very comfortable. He knows his place in the Cowboys' ecosystem,

209
00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:50,600
Speaker 1: or the reverse of that, he'd like each other personally,

210
00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:51,600
Speaker 1: clearly having.

211
00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:54,080
Speaker 2: Time is ticking and do you want to just like keep.

212
00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:54,520
Speaker 4: Shooting your shot?

213
00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:57,440
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, if McCarthy can get another contract out of them, like,

214
00:08:57,679 --> 00:09:02,240
Speaker 1: go get it. He is didn't any reasonable expectation for

215
00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:04,520
Speaker 1: how much money he has made, and good on him.

216
00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:06,240
Speaker 7: Ever since that PFF subscription.

217
00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:09,080
Speaker 1: Let's know, let's go to the let's go to the

218
00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:12,520
Speaker 1: less than likely. This is under fifty percent chance, but

219
00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:14,400
Speaker 1: I'm gonna put it in. Maybe I have two teams here.

220
00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:18,280
Speaker 1: It's drowed Mayo and it's Todd Bowles in Tampa, which

221
00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:20,400
Speaker 1: would sound crazy because the Bucks are playing well, We'll

222
00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:24,079
Speaker 1: start with Mayo. He's part of my next segment. So

223
00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:26,640
Speaker 1: I won't even go on here. Okay, I'm going to

224
00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:29,760
Speaker 1: give him just a short gift, but I don't know.

225
00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:32,760
Speaker 1: Every week there's something here, but this is.

226
00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:35,200
Speaker 5: Like the beginning of the beginning. So I feel like

227
00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:37,440
Speaker 5: you need to give him at least another year.

228
00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:40,560
Speaker 1: Sometimes when you know, you know though, and it would

229
00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:42,400
Speaker 1: be admitting defeat if you're Robert Kraft.

230
00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:44,400
Speaker 4: But I don't know.

231
00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:45,360
Speaker 7: I don't know.

232
00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:48,360
Speaker 3: I think I feel like he should get a longer runway.

233
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:50,240
Speaker 3: I think some of the external there there have been

234
00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:52,679
Speaker 3: some big snaffoos like I don't get me wrong, I'm

235
00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:56,480
Speaker 3: not excusing those, but we've seen young head coaches who

236
00:09:56,480 --> 00:09:58,800
Speaker 3: have gone on to be very successful have some of those,

237
00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:02,240
Speaker 3: like public verbal f ups Dan Campbell. I wouldn't call

238
00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:03,800
Speaker 3: that an f up, but everyone was making fun of

239
00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:06,240
Speaker 3: Dan Campbell. Everyone was making fun of Nick Sirianni. Now

240
00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:09,400
Speaker 3: I'm not saying Drodmeo is necessarily going to evolve into

241
00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:10,840
Speaker 3: that caliber of a coach.

242
00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:12,480
Speaker 7: I mean Nick Sirianni is still having.

243
00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:15,920
Speaker 3: Verbal snaffoos left and right, even when nobody else What

244
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:16,400
Speaker 3: about the.

245
00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:19,800
Speaker 4: Footballing is the look lost?

246
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:21,920
Speaker 3: Yeah? But I think if you are a young head

247
00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:25,040
Speaker 3: coach and you are being given the reins by ownership

248
00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:28,320
Speaker 3: like this, with the understanding that you're going to adapt

249
00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:32,479
Speaker 3: and evolve in the job. Like there's ownership and timeline

250
00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:36,400
Speaker 3: patients and ecosystemic patients, and then there is impatience from

251
00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:39,120
Speaker 3: the outside in. And I think those two are not congrassed.

252
00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:40,679
Speaker 1: I just think they're one of the most poorly coached

253
00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:43,560
Speaker 1: teams in the league. And you have you have a gift, and.

254
00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:46,360
Speaker 3: That can be true. That can be true. It doesn't

255
00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:48,160
Speaker 3: mean that it has to stay that way. That's my

256
00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:51,040
Speaker 3: that's my only point. Like people who are football, people

257
00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:54,000
Speaker 3: who are committed to that type of leveluce.

258
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:55,560
Speaker 4: Okay, we're way over. Let's go to Todd Balls.

259
00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:57,400
Speaker 7: You wanted to talk about the Patriots a lot.

260
00:10:57,520 --> 00:11:00,760
Speaker 1: No, we were going on the actually good go into

261
00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:03,920
Speaker 1: the minute every time Todd Bowles stays. The only reason

262
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:06,040
Speaker 1: I brought this out why, First of all, they would

263
00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:07,839
Speaker 1: have to lose down the stretch and probably not win

264
00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:11,840
Speaker 1: the division. But in that scenario, I just think they

265
00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:16,040
Speaker 1: can't let Liam Cohen out of the building. And they

266
00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:18,240
Speaker 1: have promoted from within a couple times before, for what

267
00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:20,920
Speaker 1: it's worth, so there is some history with this ownership.

268
00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:24,000
Speaker 1: I just think if it's gonna cost you Todd Bowles

269
00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:26,880
Speaker 1: and Olli Connelly, who was on the show, he's made

270
00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:29,960
Speaker 1: this point too, like, then you need to just find

271
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:31,079
Speaker 1: a way to keep Liam Cohen.

272
00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:33,280
Speaker 4: It's just too important that pr hit.

273
00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:38,120
Speaker 5: I mean, like, I just don't see the who I

274
00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:39,760
Speaker 5: mean getting rid of Todd Bowles.

275
00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:40,720
Speaker 7: He's had the success.

276
00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:42,480
Speaker 5: If they end up winning the division and they're in

277
00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:44,800
Speaker 5: the playoffs, like, how can you get rid of Todd

278
00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:46,720
Speaker 5: Bowles and promote Liam Cohen?

279
00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:48,400
Speaker 2: That would be such a slap in the face.

280
00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:51,240
Speaker 1: If they win the division, You're right, and people make

281
00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:53,840
Speaker 1: the this is why it's in a way less than likely.

282
00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:55,880
Speaker 1: But if they lost one of these games and the

283
00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:59,560
Speaker 1: Falcons somehow get it, it's unlikely. I just I just

284
00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:02,120
Speaker 1: think it's so important to have that offensive clips letting

285
00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:02,640
Speaker 1: Cohen leap.

286
00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:03,840
Speaker 4: Maybe I'll give him a lot of money.

287
00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:06,720
Speaker 1: And then the final section, it's five guys in the AH,

288
00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:08,880
Speaker 1: and these can be quick. I think most of them

289
00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:11,520
Speaker 1: would would be quick. Zach Taylor, I don't believe that

290
00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:14,680
Speaker 1: this would happen. But this league, this has been a

291
00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:16,520
Speaker 1: fiasco this year kind.

292
00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:18,920
Speaker 3: Of depends on what Burrow wants. Really it's going to

293
00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:21,040
Speaker 3: we don't know what he wants or doesn't want.

294
00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:23,560
Speaker 5: In this case, and so much has just been bad

295
00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:25,240
Speaker 5: luck and bad timing.

296
00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:27,840
Speaker 4: Why why is that?

297
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:30,360
Speaker 5: I just think like the way that Joe Burrow and

298
00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:33,440
Speaker 5: Jamar Chase are playing, like the defense is bad. I

299
00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:37,920
Speaker 5: feel like lou Anarumo potentially he's probably gone. But I

300
00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:41,000
Speaker 5: don't think this is on Zach Taylor, Like he still

301
00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:44,079
Speaker 5: has the players with it. They still want to play

302
00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:46,560
Speaker 5: for him, they want to be involved. Like it's like

303
00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:48,320
Speaker 5: you're not losing the locker room at this point.

304
00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:55,280
Speaker 3: This would be probably more nuanced on like a longer segment,

305
00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:58,800
Speaker 3: but a lot of what owners ask themselves this time

306
00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:02,400
Speaker 3: of year is how many other teams would immediately go

307
00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:04,920
Speaker 3: hire that guy if I were to fire him, yeah,

308
00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:06,800
Speaker 3: or if I were to let him go? And then also,

309
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:08,800
Speaker 3: do I already have someone in mind who I can

310
00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:10,480
Speaker 3: guarantee will be better than that guy?

311
00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:14,360
Speaker 5: And then the Jags hire Zach Taylor after getting rid

312
00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:15,760
Speaker 5: of Press Taylor.

313
00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:18,480
Speaker 1: Right, I think the answer for Zach Taylor would be

314
00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:19,920
Speaker 1: he wouldn't get hired.

315
00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:22,720
Speaker 4: He's got great things.

316
00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:26,880
Speaker 1: Jamar Chas and Joe Burrow examples to me is the

317
00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:30,920
Speaker 1: proving the point against Stefanski, by all accounts, is going

318
00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:34,080
Speaker 1: to be safe. So despite that record, it really does

319
00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:36,120
Speaker 1: sound like they're they're going to go back for the

320
00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:37,760
Speaker 1: two time coach of the Year and that he would

321
00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:40,360
Speaker 1: be safe Stich and I just wanted to mention he's

322
00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:42,080
Speaker 1: going to be on the hot seat most likely going

323
00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:44,720
Speaker 1: into next year when you're going into year three, But

324
00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:46,839
Speaker 1: I think they're going to be committed to him. Dave

325
00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:52,560
Speaker 1: Canalis has helped to improve everything in Carolina. I will

326
00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:55,320
Speaker 1: say I've seen it so many times that all the

327
00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:58,840
Speaker 1: surprising moves happen when surprising things happen.

328
00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:01,800
Speaker 4: The last couple of weeks, like if the floor.

329
00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:04,079
Speaker 1: Just fell out and they lost three straight games like

330
00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:07,240
Speaker 1: they lost to the Cowboys, than any who knows anything

331
00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:07,880
Speaker 1: out table.

332
00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:12,120
Speaker 3: I actually I politely disagree. I think that Canalis and

333
00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:14,680
Speaker 3: his offensive staff will be safe. I think that they're

334
00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:16,520
Speaker 3: going He's going to want to bring in his own

335
00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:19,360
Speaker 3: choice for defensive coordinator and a Giro ever was going

336
00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:21,480
Speaker 3: to go get a job somewhere else. But we have

337
00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:23,800
Speaker 3: to remember what some of the reporting was before entering

338
00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:26,480
Speaker 3: the year, where other teams thought that they could get

339
00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:28,560
Speaker 3: a Giro out of the last year of his contract

340
00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:31,760
Speaker 3: and recording that possibility, and Dave Tepper did not let

341
00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:35,000
Speaker 3: him go. That's not Dave Canalis is higher, and now

342
00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:37,400
Speaker 3: after this year, I think that that's what he might

343
00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:40,880
Speaker 3: do is go and look for his own guy to

344
00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:44,160
Speaker 3: bring in and do make that higher versus being paired

345
00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:46,480
Speaker 3: with somebody and somebody a team is going to get

346
00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:47,520
Speaker 3: a great DC in Ajiro.

347
00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:49,920
Speaker 1: If that's the case, Yeah, he would get hired quickly.

348
00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:51,200
Speaker 1: And then finally Kyle Shanahan.

349
00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:52,880
Speaker 5: I would say the Falcons too. By the way, if

350
00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:54,880
Speaker 5: he ends up anywhere else, I don't know why. That's

351
00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:55,600
Speaker 5: just like the.

352
00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:56,000
Speaker 7: As a DC.

353
00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:58,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, oh hell yeah, yeah, that would make sense.

354
00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:02,360
Speaker 4: He could. I mean, he he'll probably have options.

355
00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:04,440
Speaker 3: Of where he gets hiring committees. Are you listening to Colleen?

356
00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:04,880
Speaker 2: Yes?

357
00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:07,200
Speaker 1: I have no reason to believe that John Lynch and

358
00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:10,240
Speaker 1: the forty nine ers are anything but truthful on their

359
00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:13,040
Speaker 1: stance that Kyle Shannan is going to be there forever.

360
00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:15,480
Speaker 1: But when Troy Aikman throws it out there on Monday

361
00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:18,840
Speaker 1: Night Football, like he just starts talking about Caleb Caleb

362
00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:21,200
Speaker 1: and Kyle Shanahan and that they should try to trade

363
00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:24,440
Speaker 1: for Kyle Shannan, I was like, Okay, I was like, Troy,

364
00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:27,800
Speaker 1: I could be wrong, but I feel like Troy wouldn't

365
00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:30,640
Speaker 1: just throw that out there, you know what I mean.

366
00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:32,800
Speaker 1: It's like when you have reporters just say things like

367
00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:35,000
Speaker 1: they're not just saying it, it's coming from something. So

368
00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:37,600
Speaker 1: I'm like, all right, well, if Troy threw that out there, at.

369
00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:39,800
Speaker 2: Least he doesn't have an original thought like.

370
00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:41,360
Speaker 4: That he would, But I don't.

371
00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:43,480
Speaker 1: I don't think he would throw I think he's careful

372
00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:47,240
Speaker 1: enough he wouldn't throw it out there in that spot unless.

373
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:51,119
Speaker 3: Millions of people watching something my crazy crazy, my craziest

374
00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:53,520
Speaker 3: take if the tiny table was here, I would stand

375
00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:56,320
Speaker 3: on I do think because there's a gap between maybe

376
00:15:56,360 --> 00:15:59,320
Speaker 3: the perception of coaches who are ready, who are offensive

377
00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:02,640
Speaker 3: coaches who are to take the big job, and the

378
00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:06,280
Speaker 3: actual existing hiring pool. It's like Ben Johnson, who may

379
00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:08,000
Speaker 3: or may not even want to go to your franchise

380
00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:12,200
Speaker 3: depending on the situation. And I think the Bears genuinely

381
00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:15,720
Speaker 3: are looking into the possibility of trading for somebody. But

382
00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:20,760
Speaker 3: my my hottest theory take it's not based on any reporting,

383
00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:24,200
Speaker 3: but just based on what this team has to.

384
00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:25,960
Speaker 7: Be and is looking for right now.

385
00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:29,400
Speaker 3: You know, Kevin O'Connell has not gotten his extension yet

386
00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:32,560
Speaker 3: for some God only knows why reason, and he's gotten

387
00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:35,080
Speaker 3: till twenty twenty five. How what if you what if

388
00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:36,640
Speaker 3: you try to what if you're the Bears and you say,

389
00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:36,960
Speaker 3: how much?

390
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:38,800
Speaker 7: Would I know they would never do it? Greg.

391
00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:40,400
Speaker 3: I know you're giving me Greg face. I know that,

392
00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:44,120
Speaker 3: But I'm just saying the hot like the crazy face.

393
00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:46,120
Speaker 7: The crazy always said.

394
00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:50,480
Speaker 3: Like that's like image. Just imagine you're like the Vikings

395
00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:52,720
Speaker 3: and you're like, oh, yeah, you know what, we could

396
00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:53,800
Speaker 3: find another one of these.

397
00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:56,640
Speaker 7: They haven't extended him yet. Extend the man.

398
00:16:57,160 --> 00:16:58,040
Speaker 2: They should extend it.

399
00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:00,640
Speaker 4: He could, he could leverage this maybe.

400
00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:02,680
Speaker 3: Into I'm just saying I wouldn't be surprised if you

401
00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:07,240
Speaker 3: heard like some weird, crazy like Shenanigan rumors about this

402
00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:09,639
Speaker 3: based on trying to get that extension done.

403
00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:11,840
Speaker 4: He is the new favorite for Coach of the Year.

404
00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:12,919
Speaker 4: We did it, we did it quickly.

405
00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:14,720
Speaker 1: I think it was good, just just a little like

406
00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:18,080
Speaker 1: where we're at, temperature check, temperature check.

407
00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:21,800
Speaker 4: We're at four head coaching openings.

408
00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:24,720
Speaker 1: If Doug is gone as we expect, I'm putting the

409
00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:29,320
Speaker 1: over under at seven this year. I feel like there's

410
00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:32,440
Speaker 1: going to be a handful more would be interesting watch

411
00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:34,080
Speaker 1: this space, all right, let's get to I mean that

412
00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:36,880
Speaker 1: is kind of like Grinch stuff. That's why it's even

413
00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:38,560
Speaker 1: better not to do it on our next show, which

414
00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:41,919
Speaker 1: we're taping on Christmas Eve, Mourning, so that would be

415
00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:45,120
Speaker 1: rude for that. Colleen, We're going to try to check

416
00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:47,920
Speaker 1: in with your family. Maybe I'll see how you're doing

417
00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:52,280
Speaker 1: back in Philadelphia. The holiday. We're keeping it warm here.

418
00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:57,399
Speaker 1: Let's do something nicer. Let's give out gifts to teams.

419
00:17:57,480 --> 00:18:00,600
Speaker 1: Let's let's be the secret Santa that these teams need,

420
00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:05,000
Speaker 1: I think, and you're all read get up today?

421
00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:06,520
Speaker 4: You should go whattshirt and a hat?

422
00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:09,679
Speaker 2: But yes, okay, yeah, go for it?

423
00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:10,720
Speaker 4: All right?

424
00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:12,200
Speaker 7: So here we go.

425
00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:13,280
Speaker 4: Oh wow.

426
00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:17,760
Speaker 5: I was thinking about giving Jerry Jones window treatments like

427
00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:20,639
Speaker 5: some curtains, but I don't know.

428
00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:22,359
Speaker 2: He's such a tough person to shop for it. I

429
00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:23,080
Speaker 2: like this one better.

430
00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:24,640
Speaker 3: What do you get for the man who has has

431
00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:27,399
Speaker 3: everything except for playoff wins?

432
00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:32,840
Speaker 5: Okay, watches are a really popular gift this time of year.

433
00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:35,960
Speaker 5: I prefer a men's wear watch that looks expensive but

434
00:18:36,119 --> 00:18:39,640
Speaker 5: isn't if anybody wants to be my secret Santa. But specifically,

435
00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:43,680
Speaker 5: I would like to give a pocket watch to Caleb Williams.

436
00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:46,880
Speaker 5: And to be honest, I feel like I'm doing.

437
00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:49,080
Speaker 2: More of a service than giving a gift with this.

438
00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:52,960
Speaker 5: We need him to learn when to get rid of

439
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:56,000
Speaker 5: the ball, and like, I'm here to wish him a

440
00:18:56,040 --> 00:18:58,800
Speaker 5: happy and healthy New Year, but considering he's been sacked

441
00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:01,760
Speaker 5: a league leading fifty eight times, he needs a lot

442
00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:04,399
Speaker 5: more than my well wishes at this point. Fifty eight sacks,

443
00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:07,760
Speaker 5: it's the third most bio rookie quarterback since nineteen seventy

444
00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:11,840
Speaker 5: and thirteen more than any other NFL quarterback this season.

445
00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:12,879
Speaker 4: I get it.

446
00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:14,040
Speaker 7: It's not all on Kleb.

447
00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:17,920
Speaker 5: The offensive line has allowed a ton of unblocked pressures.

448
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:20,480
Speaker 5: So I'll throw in some of Phil Swift's flex seal

449
00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:21,800
Speaker 5: just as like, oh.

450
00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:23,320
Speaker 7: Wow, gives here nice.

451
00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:26,840
Speaker 5: But Caleb is top ten in longest average time to

452
00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:30,480
Speaker 5: sack this season. So a pocket watch or a stopwatch,

453
00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:34,080
Speaker 5: you know, whichever has faster shipping on my Amazon account

454
00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:35,240
Speaker 5: is what I will be doing.

455
00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:37,080
Speaker 7: Nice. I love it.

456
00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:41,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, that offensive line every time I watch them, I'm

457
00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:44,600
Speaker 3: just dumbfounded by that group when I'm like I So

458
00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:47,679
Speaker 3: let me also be clear, Like I appreciated the aggressive

459
00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:50,000
Speaker 3: calls in the first half on fourth and short, fourth

460
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:53,320
Speaker 3: and one, there are some of the side angles of

461
00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:56,879
Speaker 3: the lack of push and effect, the inversion and implosion

462
00:19:57,359 --> 00:20:01,120
Speaker 3: of that that offensive line was just getting moved backward

463
00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:04,800
Speaker 3: off the spot. If you can't gain a yard on

464
00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:09,040
Speaker 3: a must have it season already lost, but reputation on

465
00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:12,359
Speaker 3: the line kind of situation when it has been stated

466
00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:15,119
Speaker 3: and mandated that you're going to be aggressive, trying to

467
00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:17,280
Speaker 3: do anything you can to actually just win one or

468
00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:19,640
Speaker 3: get points on the board, and you're getting pushed backward

469
00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:21,560
Speaker 3: like that. I mean, that's embarrassing.

470
00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:25,120
Speaker 1: But to your point, I agree that the offensive line

471
00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:29,119
Speaker 1: has been an embarrassment. But I think Troy Aikman again,

472
00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:33,639
Speaker 1: he was pretty poignant, not hold back at all, and

473
00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:35,920
Speaker 1: he's just like, yeah, there's a million wide open guys

474
00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:37,840
Speaker 1: that Caleb's staring at and he's not throwing it and

475
00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:40,440
Speaker 1: missing it. It's okay to points like multiple things can

476
00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:45,000
Speaker 1: be true, that he's maybe got coached too hard to

477
00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:48,320
Speaker 1: not make a mistake and he's just a little frozen there.

478
00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:52,240
Speaker 1: And then he said Troy is Troy. That is said

479
00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:54,800
Speaker 1: Caleb is his harshest critic, Like he was saying, there's

480
00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:56,760
Speaker 1: all these throws that I just keep missing that I

481
00:20:56,760 --> 00:20:58,680
Speaker 1: wouldn't miss in college, and you saw it like he

482
00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:01,520
Speaker 1: just missed open receivers on throws that were there.

483
00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:05,080
Speaker 4: It's just a little bears.

484
00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:08,640
Speaker 7: So I do love this gift, Colleen, because you're also

485
00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:09,840
Speaker 7: it's a symbol in a way.

486
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:13,399
Speaker 2: Pocket it's also a play on words, just exactly. I

487
00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:14,320
Speaker 2: love a play on word.

488
00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:18,800
Speaker 3: I love it the concept of time being so crucial

489
00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:19,399
Speaker 3: for Caleb.

490
00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:20,760
Speaker 4: Love that.

491
00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:23,440
Speaker 3: Just give it a couple more cycles around this here.

492
00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:25,800
Speaker 3: Pocket Watch and things will get better, buddy.

493
00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:29,760
Speaker 4: Very important for the entire end. I'm going to say

494
00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:30,159
Speaker 4: thank you.

495
00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:32,880
Speaker 2: I overthink everything and sometimes it works out.

496
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:34,320
Speaker 4: That was amazing.

497
00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:37,240
Speaker 1: Yes, Bears please, we know you're going to be in

498
00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:40,919
Speaker 1: primetime five to six times every year, especially with Caleb Williams.

499
00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:43,119
Speaker 1: So this is important for this show. It's important for

500
00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:45,199
Speaker 1: the entire NFL. Get this higher, right, I mean the

501
00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:47,840
Speaker 1: Bears most important. They could show. Yeah, they could miss it.

502
00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:51,359
Speaker 1: They could miss it. I'm going to give a present.

503
00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:53,920
Speaker 1: I'm going to give CJ.

504
00:21:54,119 --> 00:22:00,600
Speaker 4: Stroud. I don't know if we can do that all times.

505
00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:05,959
Speaker 1: I like, I like the I like the sounds, but

506
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:10,480
Speaker 1: the Santa he almost sounds like the A Christmas Story.

507
00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:12,720
Speaker 4: Guy like ho ho.

508
00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:13,119
Speaker 1: You got a real problem with.

509
00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:15,000
Speaker 5: You?

510
00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:17,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, you're with the guy who I was messing with.

511
00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:18,920
Speaker 4: Eric's lovely boy.

512
00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:20,159
Speaker 2: This is where it all started.

513
00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:23,919
Speaker 4: I'm giving Strata a weighted blanket. Okay.

514
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:30,720
Speaker 1: The weighted blankets can help put your nervous system into

515
00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:35,400
Speaker 1: rest mode. Actually, it helps with anxiety, helps reduce some

516
00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:38,880
Speaker 1: symptoms of that and often gives you know, people that

517
00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:42,679
Speaker 1: have the weighted blanket and overall sense of calm. And

518
00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:46,439
Speaker 1: I just think CJ. Is gonna need it. It's also

519
00:22:47,119 --> 00:22:49,640
Speaker 1: good practice for how it feels to have a defensive

520
00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:52,760
Speaker 1: lineman on top of you during a game. So just

521
00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:55,080
Speaker 1: like you'll get you'll get used to that.

522
00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:57,160
Speaker 4: He during the game, he's.

523
00:22:57,720 --> 00:23:01,919
Speaker 7: Being important clarification, Thank you, Greg.

524
00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:09,000
Speaker 1: He's being asked a lot, like he just looks stressed.

525
00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:12,960
Speaker 1: They come out of their bye week and you think, Okay,

526
00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:14,960
Speaker 1: our coaches are going to come up with a plan

527
00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:17,119
Speaker 1: for it. You know, we're gonna call plays, maybe a

528
00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:19,680
Speaker 1: little more under center, stuff that helped me out last year.

529
00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:22,800
Speaker 1: The protection is gonna be better. And for one drive

530
00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:25,720
Speaker 1: they looked like the twenty twenty three Texans and then

531
00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:27,520
Speaker 1: the rest of the game happened and it was a

532
00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:31,320
Speaker 1: total disaster up front and all these unblocked pressures. Meanwhile,

533
00:23:31,359 --> 00:23:36,480
Speaker 1: he's kicking back watching my guy Troy and Joe Buck

534
00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:39,120
Speaker 1: on Monday Night Football, and he's hearing them talk about

535
00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:44,840
Speaker 1: He's hearing them talk about potential head coaching candidates for

536
00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:49,240
Speaker 1: Caleb Williams, and he mentions Bobby Slowick, the offensive coordinator.

537
00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:51,680
Speaker 4: It's like, well, he will be available.

538
00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:55,000
Speaker 1: Because like, this guy is putting so much stress on CJ.

539
00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:58,399
Speaker 1: Stroud's life because they are not helping this kid out.

540
00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:00,159
Speaker 1: And this is sort of what it looks like when

541
00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:03,000
Speaker 1: what's happening to Caleb Williams is happening, but the players

542
00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:05,520
Speaker 1: just more ready for the moment and is better and

543
00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:08,560
Speaker 1: is making everyone else around him look better because he's

544
00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:10,840
Speaker 1: holding it up to at least a good enough level.

545
00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:14,440
Speaker 1: But man, he's gonna need this weighted blanket. I think

546
00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:16,800
Speaker 1: it's gonna soothe him and realize, like I'm in a

547
00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:20,800
Speaker 1: good place in my career and like we're gonna make

548
00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:23,400
Speaker 1: the playoffs and it's probably not gonna go that well,

549
00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:26,640
Speaker 1: but overall, like I'm doing well, They'll they'll help me out.

550
00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:28,440
Speaker 2: He's taken so many sacks this year, he must feel

551
00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:29,320
Speaker 2: like he's already under.

552
00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:31,000
Speaker 4: A there you go, there you go, right.

553
00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:34,400
Speaker 5: I mean, like just watching the difference from last year

554
00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:36,359
Speaker 5: to this year. He was able to extend so many

555
00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:40,399
Speaker 5: more plays last year and just make these throws on

556
00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:42,800
Speaker 5: the run, and he it just isn't on the same

557
00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:44,200
Speaker 5: page with his receivers.

558
00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:44,679
Speaker 4: You know what.

559
00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:47,560
Speaker 1: He did it pretty well Sunday again the Dolphins. It

560
00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:50,160
Speaker 1: was kind of it was kind of back to okay,

561
00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:52,520
Speaker 1: let's just have CJ fix everything, and he did for

562
00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:54,720
Speaker 1: a game, but they had under two hundred yards and

563
00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:56,200
Speaker 1: they had dominant defensive effort.

564
00:24:56,320 --> 00:25:00,560
Speaker 3: Certainly not sustainable for a seventeen plus game season. To that,

565
00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:02,280
Speaker 3: like as if you're trapped in a chimney.

566
00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:05,160
Speaker 4: Right, Also, I'd like a weighted blanket. Doesn't that sound nice?

567
00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:07,119
Speaker 3: You did when you were opining about it and you

568
00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:09,160
Speaker 3: kind of had your hands clasped in front of your heart.

569
00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:11,520
Speaker 7: That sounds Is this what Greg wants for Christmas?

570
00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:14,199
Speaker 4: It does sound great? I mean I'm not.

571
00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:17,159
Speaker 1: My wife has a heated you know pad that she

572
00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:18,960
Speaker 1: always lies on on the cut you know those?

573
00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:19,920
Speaker 7: Oh yeah, it's nice.

574
00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:22,159
Speaker 1: You know those are nice. You're just all waited too,

575
00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:24,840
Speaker 1: those aren't Wait, that's not way. They're separate. So that's nice.

576
00:25:24,840 --> 00:25:27,680
Speaker 1: And sometimes I'll go over to her little couch area

577
00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:30,760
Speaker 1: and steal that little warmth in the morning. When weighted

578
00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:33,520
Speaker 1: that around, right, But then the next level would be

579
00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:35,679
Speaker 1: the weighted blanks Wait, oh you do have?

580
00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:36,600
Speaker 4: It's great?

581
00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:38,240
Speaker 5: Well, it's only like a it's like a neck one,

582
00:25:38,280 --> 00:25:41,320
Speaker 5: so it's not that big. But sometimes I'll just like

583
00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:44,520
Speaker 5: like put it like a blanket instead of wearing it

584
00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:46,440
Speaker 5: around my neck, and it's awesome.

585
00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:49,720
Speaker 1: Highly recommend sneaky cold, you know, in the mornings and

586
00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:51,159
Speaker 1: at night, and those beach towns.

587
00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:53,320
Speaker 4: I mean, everyone feel bad for us.

588
00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:57,040
Speaker 3: I'll always lose the heat from my space heater right

589
00:25:57,119 --> 00:25:59,520
Speaker 3: in the morning. And I couldn't figure out for the

590
00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:01,760
Speaker 3: longest time. I'm like where it was going? And then

591
00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:05,560
Speaker 3: I realized, my dog Tucker is getting up from his

592
00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:09,480
Speaker 3: bed and standing with his butt to it and facing

593
00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:13,239
Speaker 3: into the room. And so he stands there so he

594
00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:15,560
Speaker 3: has his he can feel the space heater on his

595
00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:19,480
Speaker 3: butt floofs like he's got really fluffy hind quarters legs, so.

596
00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:21,320
Speaker 7: He likes to the heat. And I'm like, where was

597
00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:28,480
Speaker 7: my heat going? And then I realized, very good.

598
00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:35,040
Speaker 1: Surprise, Eric Roberts, that was your Christmas present to me.

599
00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:36,400
Speaker 1: I don't expect anything else.

600
00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:38,760
Speaker 4: That was it. Thank you very much. All right, Jordan,

601
00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:39,200
Speaker 4: you're up.

602
00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:44,600
Speaker 3: Uh well, my gift is not going to someone in need. Okay,

603
00:26:45,160 --> 00:26:47,800
Speaker 3: to the Green Bay Packers. My gift to you is

604
00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:51,800
Speaker 3: a command C command V button to copy and paste

605
00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:53,840
Speaker 3: what worked for you in the first half on Sunday

606
00:26:53,920 --> 00:26:57,399
Speaker 3: night for usage into the postseason sustainable way if you

607
00:26:57,440 --> 00:26:59,760
Speaker 3: can do it. They got Josh Jacobs going early got

608
00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:02,600
Speaker 3: moved and immediately on the line of scrimmage against that

609
00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:05,399
Speaker 3: ascending young front Seattle that's been playing very well lately.

610
00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:09,399
Speaker 3: This Packers offensive line all drafted and developed, most of

611
00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:13,439
Speaker 3: them middle round players. They've all played the majority of

612
00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:16,200
Speaker 3: snaps together this season and at their own position, which

613
00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:18,480
Speaker 3: any coach will tell you it's not just continuity of health,

614
00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:21,520
Speaker 3: but continuity of staying in one spot for most of

615
00:27:21,560 --> 00:27:23,600
Speaker 3: the season that really makes a difference this time of year.

616
00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:28,240
Speaker 3: These are a group of big, badass dudes moving in

617
00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:31,760
Speaker 3: gorgeous synchronicity and moving the ball like that on the

618
00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:34,080
Speaker 3: ground the way that they did. Josh Jacobs touched the ball,

619
00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:36,840
Speaker 3: had nine touches out of first ten. It really settled

620
00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:38,920
Speaker 3: Jordan love In. I've been trying to figure out, trying

621
00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:41,440
Speaker 3: to like get a read on, like how what makes

622
00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:44,359
Speaker 3: him most comfortable entering a game and gets him to,

623
00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:46,920
Speaker 3: you know, really settle in quickly, and it's that it's

624
00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:50,160
Speaker 3: physically running the ball and that they that they they

625
00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:54,359
Speaker 3: have been doing and he may blanket that's maybe maybe

626
00:27:54,359 --> 00:27:59,600
Speaker 3: this offensive line is his weighted blanket that I love

627
00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:02,040
Speaker 3: that for him, but it's clear that when he is

628
00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:06,160
Speaker 3: settled as early as possible with what which is what

629
00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:08,560
Speaker 3: they did, which is what their script was essentially, and

630
00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:13,960
Speaker 3: the openers like he is absolutely an astonishingly efficient thrower,

631
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:16,600
Speaker 3: but also making like some really gorgeous throws down the

632
00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:20,199
Speaker 3: field that are just electric. And I think like like

633
00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:22,000
Speaker 3: a way to blanket would be, or like a heated

634
00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:22,960
Speaker 3: way to blink it would be.

635
00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:24,840
Speaker 7: This is I'm going off the rails.

636
00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:28,320
Speaker 3: I just think so that they were also getting pushed

637
00:28:28,359 --> 00:28:30,560
Speaker 3: on the other side of the ball early in the half.

638
00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:33,720
Speaker 3: You know, the Packers defensive line was brought to life

639
00:28:33,760 --> 00:28:36,240
Speaker 3: in this way. That was Yes, the Seattle offensive line

640
00:28:36,280 --> 00:28:39,520
Speaker 3: is a complete Nutter disaster, has been all year. But

641
00:28:39,720 --> 00:28:42,600
Speaker 3: just asserting themselves and dominating up front the way that

642
00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:45,640
Speaker 3: they did so early. That is December football. That is

643
00:28:45,720 --> 00:28:49,520
Speaker 3: January football. If they can command see command V copy

644
00:28:49,520 --> 00:28:53,720
Speaker 3: paste via this gift that totally exists that I'm getting right.

645
00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:55,280
Speaker 1: It's going to be difficult. I guess if you open

646
00:28:55,320 --> 00:28:58,040
Speaker 1: it up, it's just last week's game plan. It's like

647
00:28:58,120 --> 00:28:58,760
Speaker 1: copied and paste.

648
00:28:58,920 --> 00:29:00,760
Speaker 3: Well, I guess if I was going to follow the

649
00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:02,480
Speaker 3: game correctly, that's what I should have said.

650
00:29:03,040 --> 00:29:05,120
Speaker 7: Okay, you know, I'm thinking.

651
00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:07,200
Speaker 4: More just making this up as we go a paking.

652
00:29:07,320 --> 00:29:09,320
Speaker 2: I love a copy and paste. I yeah all the time.

653
00:29:09,440 --> 00:29:12,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I just think that that particular, if I

654
00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:15,040
Speaker 3: were going to create a gift, create a gift in

655
00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:16,880
Speaker 3: this very real game that we're playing, I'm going to

656
00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:19,040
Speaker 3: create a gift for the Green Bay Packers. I think, no,

657
00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:21,600
Speaker 3: no team is going to hang with them easily. No

658
00:29:21,760 --> 00:29:24,560
Speaker 3: team is going to hang with them easily, especially into

659
00:29:24,560 --> 00:29:26,560
Speaker 3: the postseason, if they are able to come out of

660
00:29:26,560 --> 00:29:29,920
Speaker 3: the gate in that particular style and with that ethos.

661
00:29:30,040 --> 00:29:32,280
Speaker 5: They came out so fast, and that was the emphasis

662
00:29:32,320 --> 00:29:34,640
Speaker 5: because Jordan Love talked about it afterwards, saying, hell, they

663
00:29:34,640 --> 00:29:37,320
Speaker 5: didn't do it before and that's been sort of an

664
00:29:37,320 --> 00:29:40,160
Speaker 5: issue for them, so coming out strong and then having

665
00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:43,440
Speaker 5: Josh Jacob so being they've ran on those two touchdown drives.

666
00:29:43,480 --> 00:29:45,960
Speaker 5: They ran eighteen plays and Jacob's had the ball on

667
00:29:46,080 --> 00:29:47,920
Speaker 5: eleven of them.

668
00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:48,800
Speaker 7: Love love that balance.

669
00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:51,240
Speaker 3: One thing that I'll think to put on my list

670
00:29:51,280 --> 00:29:54,720
Speaker 3: next year is a better understanding of the game from.

671
00:29:54,520 --> 00:29:55,280
Speaker 4: Me too much.

672
00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:59,719
Speaker 1: It works a game we're just given, we're just given gifts.

673
00:29:59,760 --> 00:30:03,040
Speaker 3: Some colleen, to your point, sometimes overthink things and it

674
00:30:03,080 --> 00:30:03,640
Speaker 3: doesn't work.

675
00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:09,640
Speaker 1: I love it and Look, this Packers team is on

676
00:30:09,720 --> 00:30:13,560
Speaker 1: the list of teams that if they won the Super

677
00:30:13,560 --> 00:30:15,440
Speaker 1: Bowl this year, I wouldn't be that surprised.

678
00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:16,360
Speaker 7: I agree.

679
00:30:16,440 --> 00:30:18,800
Speaker 1: Maybe that's a maybe that's our segment next week, Like

680
00:30:18,840 --> 00:30:22,480
Speaker 1: what is that list? It's probably about six or seven

681
00:30:22,520 --> 00:30:25,560
Speaker 1: teams for me, five six seven teams, and the Packers

682
00:30:25,600 --> 00:30:27,720
Speaker 1: are one of those teams. It's gonna be tough for them.

683
00:30:27,760 --> 00:30:29,480
Speaker 1: They're gonna have to win three road games.

684
00:30:29,520 --> 00:30:31,280
Speaker 2: Well, I think about last year playing but again it

685
00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:31,720
Speaker 2: was possible.

686
00:30:31,760 --> 00:30:34,360
Speaker 3: That's what I factored in when you know, inventing this

687
00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:39,400
Speaker 3: gift for them out of technology that we definitely definitely

688
00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:42,520
Speaker 3: have at this point in our lives. This if you

689
00:30:42,600 --> 00:30:44,520
Speaker 3: are gonna be on the road, if their playoff seating

690
00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:45,920
Speaker 3: is such to where they are gonna be on the

691
00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:48,680
Speaker 3: road to start out, this is exactly the style of

692
00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:51,320
Speaker 3: football that gets you wins on the road in this

693
00:30:51,480 --> 00:30:54,320
Speaker 3: type of environment, like with the stakes so high, and

694
00:30:54,360 --> 00:30:57,400
Speaker 3: again like I've I've sort of been suspicious of this

695
00:30:57,440 --> 00:30:59,760
Speaker 3: in a positive way with Jordan Love for a while.

696
00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:03,320
Speaker 3: Now that he is he is absolutely like there is

697
00:31:03,400 --> 00:31:05,720
Speaker 3: no ceiling for him at a certain point as long

698
00:31:05,760 --> 00:31:09,560
Speaker 3: as he gets settled and really gets is comfortable early on,

699
00:31:09,720 --> 00:31:13,200
Speaker 3: gets settled, feels the rhythm of the game, importantly, feels

700
00:31:13,240 --> 00:31:16,120
Speaker 3: that space that his line is creating for him. He

701
00:31:16,160 --> 00:31:19,120
Speaker 3: can really understand very very quickly, and among the best

702
00:31:19,120 --> 00:31:21,720
Speaker 3: in the league right now at understanding how to manipulate

703
00:31:21,720 --> 00:31:23,959
Speaker 3: that to his advantage once he does get settled. If

704
00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:26,000
Speaker 3: he's not settled early, he can be a bit erratic.

705
00:31:26,080 --> 00:31:28,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, I like the gift of like space and time too.

706
00:31:29,080 --> 00:31:30,080
Speaker 7: Oh my god, I know.

707
00:31:30,320 --> 00:31:33,960
Speaker 1: Thank you for saving me over nine yards adjusted yards

708
00:31:33,960 --> 00:31:37,200
Speaker 1: per attempt over the last month in aggregate, and like

709
00:31:37,600 --> 00:31:40,640
Speaker 1: that is MVP level numbers, at least from Jordan lef.

710
00:31:40,680 --> 00:31:42,560
Speaker 4: All right, let's take a quick break. We've got a

711
00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:46,040
Speaker 4: lot of gifts to hand out, some real, some not real.

712
00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:48,960
Speaker 1: Jordan's gonna try to refigure out what the segment is

713
00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:52,160
Speaker 1: all about after this, it's like the magic of Christmas,

714
00:31:59,400 --> 00:32:03,160
Speaker 1: all right. Outside of our weighted blankets that we all

715
00:32:03,160 --> 00:32:10,000
Speaker 1: were under during the break, we've all taken some muscle relaxers,

716
00:32:11,520 --> 00:32:15,480
Speaker 1: get loose for this next round of secret sandas. If

717
00:32:15,480 --> 00:32:16,840
Speaker 1: we go fast enough, they we'll do a couple of

718
00:32:16,880 --> 00:32:20,080
Speaker 1: rounds here and then we'll talk some t NF.

719
00:32:20,320 --> 00:32:22,640
Speaker 4: Colleen, Okay, I bet you're a great gift gift.

720
00:32:23,640 --> 00:32:26,440
Speaker 5: Well, it's always last minute, so that's kind of an issue.

721
00:32:26,560 --> 00:32:28,959
Speaker 5: I'm someone who says, you know what I was going

722
00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:31,880
Speaker 5: to get you, and it's something really really thoughtful, but

723
00:32:32,040 --> 00:32:33,760
Speaker 5: I never executed on time.

724
00:32:33,880 --> 00:32:35,880
Speaker 1: So you know the thought I was just thinking about

725
00:32:35,920 --> 00:32:38,720
Speaker 1: that yesterday that it's not the thought that counts.

726
00:32:38,760 --> 00:32:40,680
Speaker 4: If the thought counted, i'd be awesome.

727
00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:43,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I never you know, I rarely am going

728
00:32:43,360 --> 00:32:45,560
Speaker 1: through with the nice things that you think about. So

729
00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:48,320
Speaker 1: it's not the thought that counts. They're lying to you kids, Yeah,

730
00:32:48,320 --> 00:32:50,200
Speaker 1: I mean it's the action, like it, that's it.

731
00:32:50,440 --> 00:32:51,120
Speaker 4: The action that.

732
00:32:51,080 --> 00:32:53,840
Speaker 5: Counts, follow through, Yes, that's I saw Steve Weitsch in

733
00:32:53,880 --> 00:32:56,400
Speaker 5: the newsroom last night and I was like, I.

734
00:32:56,320 --> 00:32:59,520
Speaker 2: Haven't bought one gift yet for anyone, and.

735
00:32:59,400 --> 00:33:02,280
Speaker 5: He's like, oh, Wolfy, I got my Christmas shopping done.

736
00:33:02,360 --> 00:33:03,840
Speaker 2: Yeah before Thanksgiving.

737
00:33:04,160 --> 00:33:06,720
Speaker 7: Oh Thanksgiving. That does not surprise me one bit.

738
00:33:07,560 --> 00:33:09,560
Speaker 5: Give a gift out then, okay, fine, this is my

739
00:33:09,600 --> 00:33:13,120
Speaker 5: second gift I guess that I got and I'm giving okay.

740
00:33:14,520 --> 00:33:17,280
Speaker 5: You know, it kind of feels like you need twenty

741
00:33:17,360 --> 00:33:21,000
Speaker 5: seven different streaming services to watch the shows this year,

742
00:33:21,480 --> 00:33:25,120
Speaker 5: so I would like to give Giants fans the gift

743
00:33:25,160 --> 00:33:29,200
Speaker 5: of access to joy once again. Now this is actually

744
00:33:29,280 --> 00:33:32,840
Speaker 5: quite personal for me because I just recently signed up

745
00:33:32,840 --> 00:33:36,400
Speaker 5: for another streaming service to watch a show that debuted

746
00:33:36,440 --> 00:33:40,080
Speaker 5: twenty two years ago. That show is The Wire and

747
00:33:40,120 --> 00:33:44,360
Speaker 5: that service is HBO Max, And you know, I thought.

748
00:33:44,320 --> 00:33:47,760
Speaker 2: Of Giants fans, right, Okay, Max?

749
00:33:47,920 --> 00:33:51,680
Speaker 5: So whatever, Max and I thought of Giants fans because

750
00:33:51,720 --> 00:33:54,920
Speaker 5: we're both watching a lot of the Homicide Unit at

751
00:33:54,920 --> 00:33:57,720
Speaker 5: this point, mine of fictional drama.

752
00:33:58,000 --> 00:33:59,840
Speaker 2: There's a terrible reality show.

753
00:34:00,200 --> 00:34:02,880
Speaker 5: But I want to bring back the good times, the

754
00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:07,040
Speaker 5: smiles for Giants fans with the gift of Max. So

755
00:34:07,120 --> 00:34:10,560
Speaker 5: you can rewatch the off season Hard Knocks since that's

756
00:34:10,600 --> 00:34:11,280
Speaker 5: when their season.

757
00:34:11,280 --> 00:34:15,320
Speaker 2: Oh Merry Christmas.

758
00:34:14,800 --> 00:34:19,080
Speaker 1: This is I want to say beneath you, but you're

759
00:34:19,120 --> 00:34:22,279
Speaker 1: so small as it is, it's hard to get there.

760
00:34:22,320 --> 00:34:25,000
Speaker 4: I love it. I love it, and.

761
00:34:25,040 --> 00:34:26,400
Speaker 7: Catch us on Fast Channel.

762
00:34:26,760 --> 00:34:29,799
Speaker 4: Yeah, please do.

763
00:34:30,520 --> 00:34:33,239
Speaker 1: Joe Shane, I didn't mention him in the whole coaching thing,

764
00:34:33,280 --> 00:34:33,920
Speaker 1: but well I was going.

765
00:34:33,880 --> 00:34:34,360
Speaker 2: To bring that up.

766
00:34:34,400 --> 00:34:36,520
Speaker 5: If that's a package deal, or if you could see

767
00:34:36,520 --> 00:34:39,799
Speaker 5: maybe Brian Dabele going and not or Joe Shane going

768
00:34:39,840 --> 00:34:40,520
Speaker 5: and not dable.

769
00:34:40,880 --> 00:34:43,880
Speaker 1: I think that is how they will split the baby,

770
00:34:44,160 --> 00:34:46,640
Speaker 1: which is a weird phrase, but I think Joe Shane

771
00:34:46,640 --> 00:34:49,799
Speaker 1: will stay. There's something about Joe Shane that I just

772
00:34:49,840 --> 00:34:52,200
Speaker 1: think John Mara wants to work and he wants to

773
00:34:52,200 --> 00:34:55,320
Speaker 1: have He desperately wants stability. He wants to be the roonies,

774
00:34:55,640 --> 00:34:57,680
Speaker 1: and that'll be like the closest he can get is

775
00:34:57,719 --> 00:35:00,520
Speaker 1: I think keeping Joe Shane at least. I think more

776
00:35:00,760 --> 00:35:03,400
Speaker 1: teams are doing that in general, like keeping front offices,

777
00:35:03,520 --> 00:35:07,000
Speaker 1: keeping the structures, but changing out the coaches and or

778
00:35:07,080 --> 00:35:10,000
Speaker 1: sometimes the GM's gone, but a lot of the people underneath.

779
00:35:09,600 --> 00:35:10,040
Speaker 4: Them to stay.

780
00:35:10,160 --> 00:35:13,840
Speaker 3: Joe Shane has the caliber. I mean, it's hard to

781
00:35:14,960 --> 00:35:17,520
Speaker 3: argue for any of this, right, but like he has

782
00:35:17,560 --> 00:35:22,520
Speaker 3: the caliber of what this draft class's potential is of

783
00:35:22,560 --> 00:35:25,240
Speaker 3: some of the non Saquon related moves.

784
00:35:25,600 --> 00:35:27,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, they had a good draft.

785
00:35:27,320 --> 00:35:29,919
Speaker 3: And so I think that's where because you can see

786
00:35:30,320 --> 00:35:34,440
Speaker 3: process product and result looks terrible. But if you can

787
00:35:34,480 --> 00:35:37,919
Speaker 3: see process if you're Mara, and then you can also

788
00:35:37,960 --> 00:35:40,400
Speaker 3: see that on the coaching side and you're maybe not

789
00:35:40,440 --> 00:35:44,040
Speaker 3: thrilled with any of it, that this could be potentially it.

790
00:35:44,120 --> 00:35:46,239
Speaker 3: But again, this trips me up because of what he

791
00:35:46,360 --> 00:35:48,879
Speaker 3: so emphatically said, and I just don't think he likes

792
00:35:48,920 --> 00:35:53,000
Speaker 3: being embarrassed like that, Like there was some interesting stuff

793
00:35:53,040 --> 00:35:55,279
Speaker 3: the market. They were like saying, Okay, well, you know

794
00:35:55,800 --> 00:35:59,360
Speaker 3: it's he doesn't mind booing. He doesn't mind strife in

795
00:35:59,440 --> 00:36:02,560
Speaker 3: a moment with some sort of a fix at the

796
00:36:02,640 --> 00:36:05,640
Speaker 3: end of it. But it's like people not caring or

797
00:36:05,800 --> 00:36:10,200
Speaker 3: people being embarrassed by by his decisions is what he

798
00:36:10,239 --> 00:36:12,680
Speaker 3: can't handle. And I don't know, it's it's like they've

799
00:36:12,719 --> 00:36:13,600
Speaker 3: got at least a young peace.

800
00:36:13,600 --> 00:36:15,279
Speaker 1: He's done it before though I was living in New York.

801
00:36:15,480 --> 00:36:17,720
Speaker 1: That's like he's said, we're not going to fire the coaches,

802
00:36:17,719 --> 00:36:18,680
Speaker 1: and then he fired the coaches.

803
00:36:18,719 --> 00:36:20,879
Speaker 7: So that's that's kind of what his reputation now.

804
00:36:20,920 --> 00:36:22,560
Speaker 4: That's what I'm going off a little.

805
00:36:22,760 --> 00:36:26,600
Speaker 1: I love too that Colleen just loves punching down on

806
00:36:26,640 --> 00:36:30,880
Speaker 1: the Giants as a rival, which I get. There was

807
00:36:30,960 --> 00:36:34,239
Speaker 1: something it brings out the worst in you, because which

808
00:36:34,280 --> 00:36:37,600
Speaker 1: is actually the best, right, because like, no matter how

809
00:36:37,600 --> 00:36:39,359
Speaker 1: good the Patriots were and how bad the Jets were,

810
00:36:39,360 --> 00:36:42,120
Speaker 1: that was the one team you just you just wanted

811
00:36:42,200 --> 00:36:45,320
Speaker 1: to be and it's like a stress bowl and saying

812
00:36:45,320 --> 00:36:46,480
Speaker 1: that that was the peak of their season.

813
00:36:46,560 --> 00:36:49,399
Speaker 4: They weren't happy even then. The expectations were very low

814
00:36:49,640 --> 00:36:51,720
Speaker 4: and they were getting my funt of like even during

815
00:36:52,320 --> 00:36:54,400
Speaker 4: that season with Saquan, but you're right, it really was

816
00:36:54,520 --> 00:36:54,960
Speaker 4: the highlight.

817
00:36:55,160 --> 00:36:58,960
Speaker 1: I'm going to give a book to the entire Ravens team,

818
00:36:59,200 --> 00:37:02,600
Speaker 1: so everyone in the organization, all the players.

819
00:37:02,680 --> 00:37:03,520
Speaker 4: It's going to be a book.

820
00:37:03,840 --> 00:37:08,840
Speaker 1: It is called Never Rest Easy or Never Easy, Never Pretty.

821
00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:12,080
Speaker 1: It's by a man called Dean Bartoli Smith. I'm also

822
00:37:12,160 --> 00:37:14,960
Speaker 1: going to give out from our friends at NFL Films

823
00:37:15,000 --> 00:37:18,680
Speaker 1: a copy of America's Game twenty twelve. This book is

824
00:37:18,960 --> 00:37:22,200
Speaker 1: about the story of the twenty twelve Baltimore Ravens in

825
00:37:22,320 --> 00:37:25,960
Speaker 1: America's Game, of course, our great documented documentary that we

826
00:37:26,040 --> 00:37:29,640
Speaker 1: do after every Super Bowl win, and it's a story

827
00:37:29,640 --> 00:37:32,880
Speaker 1: of a team that John harra coached that was worse

828
00:37:33,200 --> 00:37:37,640
Speaker 1: than literally every other team that John Harbaugh ever coached,

829
00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:40,960
Speaker 1: and it won the Super Bowl. And it's a reminder

830
00:37:41,520 --> 00:37:45,200
Speaker 1: that sometimes it's not the season that was pretty throughout.

831
00:37:45,200 --> 00:37:47,279
Speaker 1: You know what the twenty twelve Ravens were doing around

832
00:37:47,320 --> 00:37:50,160
Speaker 1: this time of the season, losing three straight games. You

833
00:37:50,200 --> 00:37:52,640
Speaker 1: know what their defense was doing all season? They looked

834
00:37:52,640 --> 00:37:55,480
Speaker 1: like trash it was by far the worst defense Ed

835
00:37:55,520 --> 00:37:58,239
Speaker 1: Reed and ray Lewis were ever associated with. They were

836
00:37:58,239 --> 00:37:59,880
Speaker 1: a lot worse than this defense. You know what they

837
00:37:59,880 --> 00:38:02,120
Speaker 1: did at the end, They won the Super Bowl and

838
00:38:02,120 --> 00:38:04,440
Speaker 1: that was after three straight years where if you look

839
00:38:04,440 --> 00:38:07,840
Speaker 1: at the point differential and the DVOA and all that stuff,

840
00:38:08,040 --> 00:38:10,520
Speaker 1: those Ravens teams were among the very very best in

841
00:38:10,520 --> 00:38:12,160
Speaker 1: the league, and the numbers would say even this year

842
00:38:12,239 --> 00:38:13,920
Speaker 1: they are. But I know they've lost a lot of games.

843
00:38:13,960 --> 00:38:16,920
Speaker 1: There's a different feeling and it's a reminder to Lamar Jackson,

844
00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:20,120
Speaker 1: like no one remembers everything Joe Flacco did before or

845
00:38:20,200 --> 00:38:23,600
Speaker 1: really after. You just got to play your best for

846
00:38:24,280 --> 00:38:27,920
Speaker 1: four games in the playoffs and that's all that matters.

847
00:38:27,960 --> 00:38:30,080
Speaker 1: And to me, this is a much better team than

848
00:38:30,120 --> 00:38:34,160
Speaker 1: the twenty twelve Ravens that ended up winning that Super Bowl.

849
00:38:34,320 --> 00:38:36,640
Speaker 1: You just got to play your best then, and it's

850
00:38:36,640 --> 00:38:39,080
Speaker 1: gonna be a reminder for this team like maybe it's

851
00:38:39,120 --> 00:38:40,360
Speaker 1: the year that you don't see coming.

852
00:38:40,680 --> 00:38:42,799
Speaker 3: They sound like they also could use some sort of

853
00:38:43,080 --> 00:38:48,120
Speaker 3: magical button that exists to reapply certain strategies to the

854
00:38:48,200 --> 00:38:50,759
Speaker 3: current model that was used in the past, like a

855
00:38:50,880 --> 00:38:53,920
Speaker 3: command see command, like some sort of some sort of

856
00:38:53,960 --> 00:38:55,359
Speaker 3: metaphysical like butt.

857
00:38:55,480 --> 00:38:56,719
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, that would be great.

858
00:38:57,000 --> 00:38:58,520
Speaker 7: I agree, I think that would be awesome.

859
00:38:58,600 --> 00:39:01,160
Speaker 1: Great gift idea, Greg, And what a great book it

860
00:39:01,280 --> 00:39:03,240
Speaker 1: is by Dean Bartoli Smith.

861
00:39:03,239 --> 00:39:04,879
Speaker 4: I gotta admit I have that. I could. There aren't

862
00:39:04,880 --> 00:39:05,680
Speaker 4: many books out there.

863
00:39:05,760 --> 00:39:09,759
Speaker 1: There's no books about the twenty twelve Baltimore Ravens. But

864
00:39:09,800 --> 00:39:12,880
Speaker 1: never rest easy, never pretty, never never easy, never pretty.

865
00:39:13,440 --> 00:39:16,320
Speaker 1: I remember you Ravens, Like that was not a good team.

866
00:39:16,440 --> 00:39:19,439
Speaker 1: Sometimes teams that aren't that good actually win the super Bowl.

867
00:39:19,440 --> 00:39:21,719
Speaker 4: And I actually think this Ravens teemans quite good. What

868
00:39:21,840 --> 00:39:22,920
Speaker 4: like the Giants they just.

869
00:39:22,920 --> 00:39:26,520
Speaker 1: Have Yeah, like they weren't great during during the regular season.

870
00:39:26,880 --> 00:39:30,080
Speaker 1: I just mean during during that regular season. Yeah, Like

871
00:39:30,440 --> 00:39:33,360
Speaker 1: Harbaugh had been around at that point, I think for

872
00:39:34,400 --> 00:39:37,480
Speaker 1: four years, and all the other teams if you look

873
00:39:37,520 --> 00:39:40,759
Speaker 1: at like there's a value that Pro Football Reference has,

874
00:39:40,760 --> 00:39:42,080
Speaker 1: like they were all way better teams.

875
00:39:42,080 --> 00:39:43,680
Speaker 4: They were eleven win teams, twelve win teams.

876
00:39:43,719 --> 00:39:45,759
Speaker 1: All this this team had so many problems and like,

877
00:39:46,040 --> 00:39:49,360
Speaker 1: does literally anyone remember that at this point, no one cares.

878
00:39:49,680 --> 00:39:51,680
Speaker 4: All that matters is the playoffs? All right, give me

879
00:39:51,719 --> 00:39:52,839
Speaker 4: a gift? What me.

880
00:39:54,719 --> 00:39:58,359
Speaker 3: Subliminally placed that in my brain. Once again, I will

881
00:39:58,360 --> 00:40:03,040
Speaker 3: show my absolute mastery of the theme here. So we

882
00:40:03,080 --> 00:40:04,920
Speaker 3: don't know if Pat Mahomes is going to be playing

883
00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:07,480
Speaker 3: the next couple of games. He said Tuesday morning that

884
00:40:07,520 --> 00:40:09,719
Speaker 3: he's going to try with dealing with an ankle sprain

885
00:40:09,800 --> 00:40:11,920
Speaker 3: that's not as serious as one that he had before.

886
00:40:13,120 --> 00:40:17,840
Speaker 3: My gift also based it totally in reality. To Patrick Mahomes.

887
00:40:17,920 --> 00:40:19,960
Speaker 3: If he does play for the next couple of weeks,

888
00:40:20,239 --> 00:40:23,960
Speaker 3: is he is allowed to pick any two NFC tackles.

889
00:40:24,680 --> 00:40:27,239
Speaker 3: They don't have to be on the same team to

890
00:40:27,320 --> 00:40:31,200
Speaker 3: protect him in the game, in the games leading up

891
00:40:31,239 --> 00:40:34,120
Speaker 3: to the Super Bowl. The only rule is that he

892
00:40:34,280 --> 00:40:40,560
Speaker 3: cannot use them in the super Bowl itself. Why because

893
00:40:40,560 --> 00:40:42,800
Speaker 3: they could potentially be on a team that he's playing.

894
00:40:43,600 --> 00:40:46,640
Speaker 2: I mean, come on, in the playoffs.

895
00:40:47,840 --> 00:40:51,839
Speaker 3: Yeah, so that's what their NFC tackles. I'm I am

896
00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:54,440
Speaker 3: so obviously this little context here. I know people know

897
00:40:54,840 --> 00:40:57,360
Speaker 3: the history of the situation that he's going through. But

898
00:40:57,440 --> 00:41:00,160
Speaker 3: DJ Humphreys was signed to help alleviate as she is

899
00:41:00,200 --> 00:41:03,520
Speaker 3: inclusive to injury and performance. Between the tackles the left

900
00:41:03,520 --> 00:41:06,920
Speaker 3: tackles Wannie Morris and Kingsley Suamataia, d J Humpers was

901
00:41:06,960 --> 00:41:09,320
Speaker 3: not active this week. He's dealing with the hamstring issue.

902
00:41:09,640 --> 00:41:12,440
Speaker 3: They've moved Joe Tooney at times, which means that they're

903
00:41:12,560 --> 00:41:17,600
Speaker 3: sort of destructing deconstructing a really still very solid interior

904
00:41:17,760 --> 00:41:20,960
Speaker 3: offensive line in order to patch different holes, which, if

905
00:41:21,200 --> 00:41:23,080
Speaker 3: what I said at the top, continuity of position is

906
00:41:23,080 --> 00:41:26,439
Speaker 3: also incredibly important this time of year. And hat tip

907
00:41:26,480 --> 00:41:27,759
Speaker 3: to Dan Pezuta for tracking this.

908
00:41:27,840 --> 00:41:28,040
Speaker 7: Seven.

909
00:41:28,440 --> 00:41:30,759
Speaker 3: Patrick mc mahomes has taken seven or more hits in

910
00:41:30,800 --> 00:41:33,279
Speaker 3: a game for the seventh week in a row, which

911
00:41:33,360 --> 00:41:36,880
Speaker 3: ties the record for most such games since two thousand.

912
00:41:37,120 --> 00:41:39,560
Speaker 3: Oh that's not sustainable. So my gift to him. I

913
00:41:39,560 --> 00:41:41,879
Speaker 3: think he is not only wants it, but very much

914
00:41:41,920 --> 00:41:44,239
Speaker 3: in need of it if he does play. And I'm

915
00:41:44,239 --> 00:41:46,359
Speaker 3: going to go in their NFC tackle So I'm gonna

916
00:41:46,360 --> 00:41:48,680
Speaker 3: go Penney Seol on the right side, okay, and Andy

917
00:41:48,719 --> 00:41:50,640
Speaker 3: Reid can also use him as a receiving threat.

918
00:41:50,800 --> 00:41:51,200
Speaker 4: Okay.

919
00:41:51,920 --> 00:41:54,480
Speaker 3: And I'm going with Tristan Wurf's at left tackle.

920
00:41:55,040 --> 00:41:56,240
Speaker 7: Okay, who are you guys picking?

921
00:41:57,280 --> 00:41:59,040
Speaker 1: I think those are the two. Those are the two

922
00:41:59,080 --> 00:41:59,960
Speaker 1: all Pro tackles.

923
00:42:00,360 --> 00:42:02,960
Speaker 5: If Lane Johnson didn't get like banged up, maybe I'd

924
00:42:03,040 --> 00:42:03,960
Speaker 5: Ohane in there.

925
00:42:03,960 --> 00:42:05,719
Speaker 3: I would say Lane would be good because he knows

926
00:42:05,920 --> 00:42:07,920
Speaker 3: he knows how to get there in the postseason, and

927
00:42:07,960 --> 00:42:09,480
Speaker 3: he's sort of like that long haul truckers.

928
00:42:09,560 --> 00:42:11,680
Speaker 1: I mean, if Lane Johnson's banged up, I'd hate to

929
00:42:11,680 --> 00:42:14,759
Speaker 1: see what he looks like, you know, healthy, because he

930
00:42:14,800 --> 00:42:16,920
Speaker 1: didn't give up a single pressure last week against j

931
00:42:17,040 --> 00:42:19,839
Speaker 1: freaking Watt, so I don't know he is all right,

932
00:42:19,840 --> 00:42:22,840
Speaker 1: I'll go Lane Johnson just for some just some spice

933
00:42:23,520 --> 00:42:23,759
Speaker 1: and SPI.

934
00:42:24,040 --> 00:42:26,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, Tristan Worf's that is a great gift. He would

935
00:42:26,920 --> 00:42:28,400
Speaker 4: love that, and.

936
00:42:28,600 --> 00:42:29,600
Speaker 7: Thanks, guys, I needed that.

937
00:42:29,680 --> 00:42:30,160
Speaker 4: It's okay.

938
00:42:30,320 --> 00:42:33,239
Speaker 1: I think I think sometimes it's Christmas. You want to

939
00:42:33,280 --> 00:42:34,239
Speaker 1: live in a fantasy world.

940
00:42:34,400 --> 00:42:35,680
Speaker 3: It's just like when people, even if.

941
00:42:35,520 --> 00:42:39,040
Speaker 1: I can't make it happen, like just imagine it and

942
00:42:39,040 --> 00:42:41,800
Speaker 1: and suddenly Joe Touney will be Tristan Worf's.

943
00:42:41,800 --> 00:42:45,600
Speaker 3: This is the gift equivalent of when your significant other

944
00:42:45,920 --> 00:42:48,960
Speaker 3: buys you a star. You know, like you don't actually

945
00:42:48,960 --> 00:42:51,880
Speaker 3: own that star. Oh yeah, you have a piece of

946
00:42:51,880 --> 00:42:55,040
Speaker 3: paper that says this is your star, and some like

947
00:42:55,400 --> 00:42:59,319
Speaker 3: you know both romance trope. But it's not really your star.

948
00:42:59,480 --> 00:43:01,520
Speaker 3: It is that you versus star, and it has died

949
00:43:01,680 --> 00:43:05,200
Speaker 3: long before you can even see the light from it.

950
00:43:05,200 --> 00:43:08,799
Speaker 4: It's kind of or when they do there's a dead star.

951
00:43:09,000 --> 00:43:09,680
Speaker 2: Merry Christmas.

952
00:43:09,719 --> 00:43:11,960
Speaker 1: They sell these, you know, they sell these trinkets, so

953
00:43:12,000 --> 00:43:14,840
Speaker 1: it'll be like you can like adopt this dolphin for

954
00:43:14,920 --> 00:43:18,359
Speaker 1: fifty bucks and you get a little certificate and they're

955
00:43:18,360 --> 00:43:19,759
Speaker 1: probably like stealing out that much.

956
00:43:19,840 --> 00:43:21,719
Speaker 7: So this is my gift, my not that we're the

957
00:43:21,719 --> 00:43:23,960
Speaker 7: gift equivalent of that to Patrick.

958
00:43:23,960 --> 00:43:26,080
Speaker 5: By the way, Lane Johnson only missed one play, but

959
00:43:26,280 --> 00:43:28,880
Speaker 5: it was so scary that it just worried me that

960
00:43:28,920 --> 00:43:30,640
Speaker 5: maybe there would be some type of lasting.

961
00:43:30,680 --> 00:43:32,360
Speaker 1: Oh he was playing like hurt the rest of the

962
00:43:32,360 --> 00:43:35,000
Speaker 1: game and he was still awesome. It's crazy, It's crazy.

963
00:43:35,040 --> 00:43:37,520
Speaker 1: I did get my son a certificate of adoption of

964
00:43:37,520 --> 00:43:40,759
Speaker 1: a Koala. I remember, you know, like five years ago

965
00:43:40,960 --> 00:43:41,680
Speaker 1: or something, and it.

966
00:43:41,600 --> 00:43:43,120
Speaker 4: Was where we're like a donation.

967
00:43:43,280 --> 00:43:46,320
Speaker 1: It's like a donation to the Koala Society and Australia

968
00:43:46,440 --> 00:43:47,600
Speaker 1: or whatever something like that, and.

969
00:43:47,520 --> 00:43:49,960
Speaker 4: They give you a little certificate and you get a newsletter.

970
00:43:49,960 --> 00:43:51,720
Speaker 7: All right, have you checked in with it recently?

971
00:43:53,480 --> 00:43:55,480
Speaker 1: I really want to go to Australia to go to

972
00:43:55,600 --> 00:43:59,120

Speaker 5: Hailey Steinfeld's music and movies to thank her for unlocking

981
00:44:18,760 --> 00:44:22,200
Speaker 5: Josh Allen's full potential because since they got engaged during

982

983

00:44:50,280 --> 00:44:52,200
Speaker 1: heater it is. I mean, it kind of makes sense

993
00:44:52,200 --> 00:44:54,880
Speaker 1: when you know a man that is that happy, happy

994
00:44:55,160 --> 00:44:55,719

Speaker 1: room here Bill's face to do any blaming if it

998
00:45:01,640 --> 00:45:04,880
Speaker 1: turns south at some point, there's I've seen too much outside.

999
00:45:05,320 --> 00:45:06,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, the other the other side of it has not

1000
00:45:06,960 --> 00:45:07,839
Speaker 4: been great over the years.

1001
00:45:07,840 --> 00:45:12,480
Speaker 1: Sometimes in these situations, I am gonna give a gift

1002
00:45:12,480 --> 00:45:13,680
Speaker 1: to NFL Daily.

1003
00:45:13,800 --> 00:45:15,600
Speaker 4: Actually, so everyone behind.

1004
00:45:15,320 --> 00:45:17,600
Speaker 7: Just so to yourself, Okay, Well, the real gift is

1005
00:45:17,600 --> 00:45:18,240
Speaker 7: a stock.

1006
00:45:18,120 --> 00:45:19,840
Speaker 4: It's more front for the NFL.

1007
00:45:21,160 --> 00:45:24,120
Speaker 1: We're gonna go ahead and buy some ads on Michael

1008
00:45:24,160 --> 00:45:27,840
Speaker 1: Parsons podcast in the off season because this is gonna

1009
00:45:27,840 --> 00:45:30,400
Speaker 1: be the podcast of the off season. I don't know

1010
00:45:30,400 --> 00:45:33,719
Speaker 1: if you saw the Cowboys soft launching their new off

1011
00:45:33,760 --> 00:45:38,239
Speaker 1: season story over the weekend, Michael Parson's trade candidate. Uh,

1012
00:45:38,520 --> 00:45:42,399
Speaker 1: that is gonna make the Michael Parsons Podcast like one

1013
00:45:42,440 --> 00:45:45,960
Speaker 1: of the fastest growing podcasts in the game. I think

1014
00:45:45,960 --> 00:45:48,200
Speaker 1: there could be a lot of carryover with listeners like

1015
00:45:48,320 --> 00:45:52,120
Speaker 1: enjoying both. So I'm giving NFL Daily. I'm sure iHeart

1016
00:45:52,120 --> 00:45:55,279
Speaker 1: if you're listening out there, or the NFL will support.

1017
00:45:54,960 --> 00:45:55,560
Speaker 2: Of a budget.

1018
00:45:56,000 --> 00:45:59,799
Speaker 1: Yeah, we've had no complaints and they've been great. But yeah,

1019
00:45:59,840 --> 00:46:03,040
Speaker 1: we're going to do some advertising on the Parsons podcast

1020
00:46:03,040 --> 00:46:05,880
Speaker 1: because this is going to be the story of the

1021
00:46:05,920 --> 00:46:09,360
Speaker 1: off season, which Ian Rappaport helped to introduce.

1022
00:46:08,920 --> 00:46:10,040
Speaker 4: So thank you Ian.

1023
00:46:10,120 --> 00:46:12,120
Speaker 1: It was like his gift to us. Yeah, it was

1024
00:46:12,320 --> 00:46:15,360
Speaker 1: these quotes. It was these quotes from Stephen Jones where

1025
00:46:15,520 --> 00:46:17,680
Speaker 1: he was saying, well, it's a balancing act. You need

1026
00:46:17,719 --> 00:46:19,880
Speaker 1: to look at are we paying our top two, you know,

1027
00:46:19,920 --> 00:46:22,440
Speaker 1: our top players too much money? Maybe we need to

1028
00:46:22,440 --> 00:46:24,520
Speaker 1: spread it out because when those top guys get hurt

1029
00:46:24,880 --> 00:46:27,879
Speaker 1: like Trevon Diggs and whatever, like, you really see we're

1030
00:46:27,880 --> 00:46:30,880
Speaker 1: missing the depth. And it very much felt like a

1031
00:46:30,920 --> 00:46:34,719
Speaker 1: soft launch, either of a mostly fabricated story just to

1032
00:46:34,719 --> 00:46:37,400
Speaker 1: get attention or Michael Parsons, who's the Cowboys.

1033
00:46:37,440 --> 00:46:38,880
Speaker 4: I've never done that kind of known.

1034
00:46:38,719 --> 00:46:42,320
Speaker 1: As being a little bit of a high maintenance player.

1035
00:46:42,640 --> 00:46:45,360
Speaker 1: You know, maybe they would be considering actually trading like

1036
00:46:45,400 --> 00:46:47,359
Speaker 1: the best pure path rusher I've ever seen come into

1037
00:46:47,360 --> 00:46:47,719
Speaker 1: the league.

1038
00:46:47,719 --> 00:46:49,600
Speaker 4: I think this podcast is going to go off.

1039
00:46:49,600 --> 00:46:51,480
Speaker 3: That's what they want you to think, so that you

1040
00:46:51,600 --> 00:46:52,520
Speaker 3: keep talking about it.

1041
00:46:52,560 --> 00:46:53,800
Speaker 7: Greg, that's been over this.

1042
00:46:53,680 --> 00:46:56,959
Speaker 1: Well that was what I said. It's one or the other.

1043
00:46:57,080 --> 00:46:59,720
Speaker 1: But I I actually think they're.

1044
00:47:00,080 --> 00:47:03,120
Speaker 3: Think Micah to do this. I think Micah understands it,

1045
00:47:03,239 --> 00:47:06,240
Speaker 3: understands it too. I think he and and Jerry Jones

1046
00:47:06,280 --> 00:47:09,840
Speaker 3: can sort of pull all of the levers and be

1047
00:47:10,040 --> 00:47:13,719
Speaker 3: the Woody Harrelson jiff of crying into their fistfuls of

1048
00:47:13,760 --> 00:47:15,239
Speaker 3: money at the end of this.

1049
00:47:15,320 --> 00:47:17,440
Speaker 4: It's called The Edge with Michaeh. Parsons.

1050
00:47:17,480 --> 00:47:19,320
Speaker 7: It's a great show, by the way, very candid.

1051
00:47:19,120 --> 00:47:21,440
Speaker 1: And I think, yeah, this if he is on the

1052
00:47:21,480 --> 00:47:23,719
Speaker 1: trade block, like I can just picture it's not that

1053
00:47:23,840 --> 00:47:24,320
Speaker 1: far away.

1054
00:47:25,320 --> 00:47:26,320
Speaker 4: We're at the combine.

1055
00:47:26,400 --> 00:47:30,800
Speaker 1: We're doing a show from there, and everyone is talking

1056
00:47:30,840 --> 00:47:32,840
Speaker 1: about the biggest story of the day is what Michael

1057
00:47:32,840 --> 00:47:36,759
Speaker 1: Parsons said on The Edge with Michael Parsons about the

1058
00:47:36,800 --> 00:47:39,480
Speaker 1: trade rumors going around, and that's that's only like I

1059
00:47:39,600 --> 00:47:41,839
Speaker 1: wonder two months await and then everyone's like, Wow, what

1060
00:47:41,880 --> 00:47:45,640
Speaker 1: was the ad for that really cool podcast with Greg Rosenthal.

1061
00:47:45,800 --> 00:47:47,759
Speaker 5: You think that there's going to be a situation with

1062
00:47:47,880 --> 00:47:51,759
Speaker 5: Cam Jordan's Off the Edge podcast and Michael Parsons The

1063
00:47:51,920 --> 00:47:52,800
Speaker 5: Edge podcast.

1064
00:47:54,280 --> 00:47:56,040
Speaker 4: I don't know which one was first. I assume it

1065
00:47:56,080 --> 00:47:57,600
Speaker 4: was Off the Edge with Cam Jordan.

1066
00:47:57,880 --> 00:47:59,319
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's been doing that for a minute.

1067
00:47:59,440 --> 00:48:02,240
Speaker 4: That's that's not fair. I don't like it, all right, Jordan.

1068
00:48:02,680 --> 00:48:08,560
Speaker 3: Okay, guys, Mike Evans has hit at least one thousand

1069
00:48:08,600 --> 00:48:11,840
Speaker 3: receiving yards per season in each of his ten NFL seasons.

1070
00:48:11,960 --> 00:48:14,320
Speaker 3: He's two hundred and fifty one yards away from exactly

1071
00:48:14,440 --> 00:48:18,640
Speaker 3: one thousand yards with three regular season games left two

1072
00:48:18,680 --> 00:48:22,320
Speaker 3: If you're a put seventeen games person, which in fairness

1073
00:48:22,600 --> 00:48:25,440
Speaker 3: that's that is a valid thing to be. My gift

1074
00:48:25,480 --> 00:48:28,200
Speaker 3: to Mike, You're gonna keep your streak intact. I don't

Speaker 2: He went off this weekend and really did.

1085
00:48:53,719 --> 00:48:56,520

1097
00:49:19,080 --> 00:49:21,440
Speaker 1: This is more of a metaphysical one, kind of like

1098
00:49:21,600 --> 00:49:25,040
Speaker 1: you were given out, just like I didn't realize this

1099
00:49:25,320 --> 00:49:26,799
Speaker 1: until pretty recently in life.

1100
00:49:26,800 --> 00:49:27,680
Speaker 4: I'm not even kidding.

1101
00:49:28,160 --> 00:49:32,200
Speaker 1: You can have on expressed thoughts, you know what I mean,

1102
00:49:32,239 --> 00:49:35,959
Speaker 1: Like if something moment, if something comes into your head,

1103
00:49:36,400 --> 00:49:39,680
Speaker 1: you don't have to just immediately say it. There can

1104
00:49:39,760 --> 00:49:43,799
Speaker 1: be a there can be something in between when you

1105
00:49:43,840 --> 00:49:46,239
Speaker 1: think it and when it comes out of your mouth.

1106
00:49:46,320 --> 00:49:48,879
Speaker 2: Yeah, or it just doesn't come out of your mouth

1107
00:49:49,400 --> 00:49:49,759
Speaker 2: the thought.

1108
00:49:49,960 --> 00:49:52,640
Speaker 1: That's that's what the filter's for. I could hold it

1109
00:49:52,680 --> 00:49:55,560
Speaker 1: for later, you can hold it for never. But I

1110
00:49:55,600 --> 00:49:57,319
Speaker 1: think Girod could use it.

1111
00:49:57,520 --> 00:50:00,880
Speaker 3: I have a very timely story about this, actually, Greg,

1112
00:50:00,960 --> 00:50:05,480
Speaker 3: because you and I were texting earlier this week and

1113
00:50:06,040 --> 00:50:08,520
Speaker 3: you texted me a take about.

1114
00:50:08,280 --> 00:50:10,480
Speaker 4: Drake may and we don't need to go back to

1115
00:50:10,520 --> 00:50:11,120
Speaker 4: more Ja and.

1116
00:50:11,000 --> 00:50:12,920
Speaker 3: I said, well, I know this is the arc of

1117
00:50:13,040 --> 00:50:15,880
Speaker 3: the Greg universe always cycles back to Drake may So

1118
00:50:16,360 --> 00:50:19,439
Speaker 3: you texted me this take that you had and I said, oh,

1119
00:50:19,680 --> 00:50:22,160
Speaker 3: you said, I'm about to post it on Twitter just

1120
00:50:22,160 --> 00:50:25,560
Speaker 3: to feel alive. And I said, oh, ri ip and

1121
00:50:25,600 --> 00:50:28,840
Speaker 3: then you said no, you were the buffer between me

1122
00:50:29,000 --> 00:50:33,239
Speaker 3: actually saying it, except you said it anyway on the show.

1123
00:50:33,440 --> 00:50:37,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, it wasn't that. How to take the podcast is

1124
00:50:37,040 --> 00:50:39,719
Speaker 1: different than sending on Twitter. Just that if you're in

1125
00:50:39,760 --> 00:50:43,879
Speaker 1: a redraft. I think he's an absolutely reasonable QB one

1126
00:50:43,920 --> 00:50:44,680
Speaker 1: now he would be then.

1127
00:50:45,200 --> 00:50:47,399
Speaker 7: A second time. Yeah, all right, well that's good.

1128
00:50:47,480 --> 00:50:48,200
Speaker 4: That's it. It's different.

1129
00:50:48,200 --> 00:50:50,799
Speaker 1: Twitter is angry or they get they get all worked

1130
00:50:50,840 --> 00:50:56,320
Speaker 1: up podcasts. We're friendly here and then we're finally Arizona Cardinals.

1131
00:50:56,360 --> 00:50:58,120
Speaker 1: I just want to give them a night out without

1132
00:50:58,120 --> 00:51:00,319
Speaker 1: the kids, you know what I mean. I don't think

1133
00:51:00,320 --> 00:51:03,160
Speaker 1: they're enjoying the moment enough. They're like seven and seven.

1134
00:51:03,239 --> 00:51:06,560
Speaker 1: No one pays attention to them. It's like this story

1135
00:51:06,640 --> 00:51:08,440
Speaker 1: is great, they're over under before the year was like

1136
00:51:08,640 --> 00:51:11,279
Speaker 1: five and a half. Like it just feels like the

1137
00:51:11,400 --> 00:51:13,719
Speaker 1: vibes aren't as good as they should be, Like the

1138
00:51:13,760 --> 00:51:16,360
Speaker 1: way they're coaching up, this relative lack of talent. Be

1139
00:51:16,480 --> 00:51:18,600
Speaker 1: happy with what you are, and also just they do

1140
00:51:18,719 --> 00:51:21,040
Speaker 1: need a little love and attention. So just a night

1141
00:51:21,080 --> 00:51:23,880
Speaker 1: out maybe to get pampered without the kids. And we

1142
00:51:23,960 --> 00:51:28,120
Speaker 1: find out on Tuesday as we're taping this that they're

1143
00:51:28,120 --> 00:51:31,960
Speaker 1: getting put in prime time on NFL Network RG.

1144
00:51:32,040 --> 00:51:33,439
Speaker 7: That's some real host stuff right there.

1145
00:51:33,600 --> 00:51:34,920
Speaker 4: Yeah.

1146
00:51:35,000 --> 00:51:35,560
Speaker 7: Nice.

1147
00:51:35,680 --> 00:51:38,080
Speaker 1: This gift was written down before I knew the NFL

1148
00:51:38,120 --> 00:51:41,239
Speaker 1: Network triple header, which, by the way, in a couple Saturdays,

1149
00:51:41,320 --> 00:51:44,480
Speaker 1: Colleen I read as part of the press release is

1150
00:51:44,520 --> 00:51:46,120
Speaker 1: hosting this whole day.

1151
00:51:46,239 --> 00:51:48,960
Speaker 4: Wait, you're giving me a look now you're going me brekface.

1152
00:51:49,400 --> 00:51:49,759
Speaker 4: I did.

1153
00:51:49,840 --> 00:51:51,200
Speaker 2: I forgot that I was doing.

1154
00:51:51,239 --> 00:51:54,000
Speaker 5: You are aware of this, Okay, So remember that I'm

1155
00:51:54,000 --> 00:51:58,360
Speaker 5: doing the doubleheader this Saturday too, and I recently remembered.

1156
00:51:57,960 --> 00:52:03,400
Speaker 1: That it's pretty good on NFL Tripleheader Chargers Patriots. So

1157
00:52:03,440 --> 00:52:05,880
Speaker 1: you got Drake May Justin Herbert, which I think is

1158
00:52:05,920 --> 00:52:07,360
Speaker 1: probably his best comp in the NFL.

1159
00:52:07,400 --> 00:52:09,719
Speaker 4: Maybe it's Justin Herbert. That's a fun quarterback magic.

1160
00:52:09,880 --> 00:52:13,160
Speaker 1: You have Bengals Broncos, which depended on the results of

1161
00:52:13,480 --> 00:52:16,759
Speaker 1: this week's TF, Bengals could be right in it and

1162
00:52:16,840 --> 00:52:18,600
Speaker 1: hope that the Chargers are collapsing.

1163
00:52:18,640 --> 00:52:20,400
Speaker 4: Either way, they should still well Denver.

1164
00:52:20,440 --> 00:52:22,440
Speaker 5: Also, if they beat the Chargers on TNF that they

1165
00:52:22,480 --> 00:52:23,680
Speaker 5: could clinch a playoff spot.

1166
00:52:23,800 --> 00:52:27,720
Speaker 1: So that's fun too. And then, yeah, the Cardinals haven't

1167
00:52:27,719 --> 00:52:30,279
Speaker 1: gotten a lot of pop this year. I feel like,

1168
00:52:30,360 --> 00:52:33,359
Speaker 1: despite all the fun, you want to prove it. Come

1169
00:52:33,400 --> 00:52:36,160
Speaker 1: to Hollywood. You got Jordan rod Rieg up in the

1170
00:52:36,200 --> 00:52:40,080
Speaker 1: press box. It's a Saturday night game. Everyone's watching. Their

1171
00:52:40,080 --> 00:52:42,960
Speaker 1: playoff lives will be on the line. That's fun.

1172
00:52:43,480 --> 00:52:45,239
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I think one of the previous games

1173
00:52:45,280 --> 00:52:48,040
Speaker 3: they played this year was the lowest watched game in

1174
00:52:48,920 --> 00:52:51,440
Speaker 3: recorded broadcast history, right the one on was that the

1175
00:52:51,480 --> 00:52:52,720
Speaker 3: Cardinals ESPN Plus.

1176
00:52:52,880 --> 00:52:54,040
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, well that's it.

1177
00:52:54,480 --> 00:52:58,000
Speaker 3: The INtime they'll be in primetime, they'll be able to hopefully,

1178
00:52:58,080 --> 00:53:00,720
Speaker 3: I mean you know what, they might even feel extra

1179
00:53:00,800 --> 00:53:03,719
Speaker 3: charitable this holiday season and get Trey McBride a touchdown.

1180
00:53:03,960 --> 00:53:06,120
Speaker 3: That would finally, that would be I mean, generally, as

1181
00:53:06,120 --> 00:53:08,000
Speaker 3: long as we're giving things, that would be.

1182
00:53:07,960 --> 00:53:09,200
Speaker 4: No, absolutely great.

1183
00:53:09,200 --> 00:53:11,520
Speaker 1: And I love I love that this division is coming

1184
00:53:11,560 --> 00:53:13,480
Speaker 1: down to these last couple of weeks. The Rams will

1185
00:53:13,480 --> 00:53:15,680
Speaker 1: have the Cardinals and Seahawks back to back, and those

1186
00:53:15,680 --> 00:53:17,360
Speaker 1: two games will help decide it.

1187
00:53:17,400 --> 00:53:19,160
Speaker 4: All Right, we are taking another break.

1188
00:53:19,160 --> 00:53:24,200
Speaker 1: We're gonna come back, We're gonna talk a little Broncos Chargers. Yes,

1189
00:53:24,239 --> 00:53:27,839
Speaker 1: that will game will inform your tripleheader. It's Colleen Wolf

1190
00:53:27,920 --> 00:53:29,560
Speaker 1: season on NFL Network.

1191
00:53:29,600 --> 00:53:40,200
Speaker 7: It's the Winter of Josh and Colleen. Yes.

1192
00:53:41,160 --> 00:53:43,320
Speaker 4: Hey, now where was this one?

1193
00:53:43,360 --> 00:53:48,720
Speaker 7: Trans Siberian Orchestra? Oh, this is my style of Christmas music.

1194
00:53:49,320 --> 00:53:51,560
Speaker 4: This is very like NFL game.

1195
00:53:51,920 --> 00:53:55,080
Speaker 1: It's holiday coverage type of music, which is probably why

1196
00:53:55,080 --> 00:53:56,960
Speaker 1: it's in our music library somewhere.

1197
00:53:57,040 --> 00:53:57,319
Speaker 3: It was.

1198
00:53:57,640 --> 00:54:00,439
Speaker 1: It was like the TNF two thousand and seven team,

1199
00:54:01,040 --> 00:54:02,719
Speaker 1: like intro to cover.

1200
00:54:02,880 --> 00:54:04,640
Speaker 5: I was thinking the other day, like I can't believe

1201
00:54:04,680 --> 00:54:07,440
Speaker 5: the Fox is still doing football robot too, Like that

1202
00:54:07,560 --> 00:54:11,160
Speaker 5: has been a thing for so long, Football robot.

1203
00:54:12,239 --> 00:54:13,280
Speaker 7: It's like a mascot.

1204
00:54:13,600 --> 00:54:18,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh baby, are people are attached to it? Maybe

1205
00:54:18,280 --> 00:54:19,759
Speaker 1: now that if they took it away they'd be mad.

1206
00:54:19,760 --> 00:54:22,360
Speaker 1: They're still doing the drawings, you know, the drawing that

1207
00:54:22,440 --> 00:54:24,680
Speaker 1: make you look like a superhero or just weird or

1208
00:54:24,840 --> 00:54:25,840
Speaker 1: way hotter than.

1209
00:54:25,680 --> 00:54:28,480
Speaker 4: You actually are. It's like one of the one of

1210
00:54:28,480 --> 00:54:28,880
Speaker 4: the three.

1211
00:54:29,480 --> 00:54:31,960
Speaker 1: All right, it's time for our TNF preview presented by

1212
00:54:32,040 --> 00:54:35,120
Speaker 1: Prime Video. Justin Herbert not a guy who needs to

1213
00:54:35,160 --> 00:54:37,760
Speaker 1: be made any better looking, A fine looking young man

1214
00:54:38,000 --> 00:54:40,120
Speaker 1: who is going to be going up against Bo Nicks

1215
00:54:40,400 --> 00:54:43,120
Speaker 1: and this Broncos team. The Chargers won the first time around,

1216
00:54:43,120 --> 00:54:44,960
Speaker 1: so they could sweep them, they would have the better

1217
00:54:45,040 --> 00:54:48,520
Speaker 1: seed in the AFC. I think that could kind of

1218
00:54:48,520 --> 00:54:52,040
Speaker 1: matter because if you can get the best wild card

1219
00:54:52,080 --> 00:54:54,640
Speaker 1: seed here or even the second best, you might avoid

1220
00:54:55,000 --> 00:54:57,880
Speaker 1: the Bills. Who knows, though, it's a lot of guesswork

1221
00:54:57,920 --> 00:54:59,960
Speaker 1: how how it will work out, even.

1222
00:55:00,080 --> 00:55:03,200
Speaker 5: How you do all of these like different combinations and yeah,

1223
00:55:03,239 --> 00:55:05,080
Speaker 5: oh all of the you go into the lab this

1224
00:55:05,160 --> 00:55:05,840
Speaker 5: time of season.

1225
00:55:05,960 --> 00:55:08,080
Speaker 2: So I kind of rely on that that.

1226
00:55:08,280 --> 00:55:10,160
Speaker 1: That is true, and that's why this game is in

1227
00:55:10,239 --> 00:55:13,879
Speaker 1: a weird spot. Sometimes games like this happen where both

1228
00:55:13,920 --> 00:55:17,200
Speaker 1: teams are probably in but it's a bigger game for

1229
00:55:17,360 --> 00:55:19,680
Speaker 1: the Chargers because they're a game behind and if they

1230
00:55:19,719 --> 00:55:22,560
Speaker 1: lost it, they would fall to eight and seven, and

1231
00:55:22,640 --> 00:55:25,279
Speaker 1: suddenly they would be in a situation where they would

1232
00:55:25,360 --> 00:55:29,120
Speaker 1: not be able to stumble down the stretch with some

1233
00:55:29,200 --> 00:55:34,440
Speaker 1: easier games. Broncos coming off a good one, like they

1234
00:55:34,480 --> 00:55:36,560
Speaker 1: just seem like they're a better team now than the Chargers.

1235
00:55:36,680 --> 00:55:38,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, haven't they won four straight?

1236
00:55:38,200 --> 00:55:40,239
Speaker 1: Because I'm always kind of rooting for the Chargers, but

1237
00:55:40,560 --> 00:55:42,520
Speaker 1: I have to admit the Broncos are just like when

1238
00:55:42,560 --> 00:55:44,840
Speaker 1: you're better. And I think about this every game for

1239
00:55:44,920 --> 00:55:46,920
Speaker 1: the Broncos. Is their offensive line better than the other

1240
00:55:46,920 --> 00:55:49,160
Speaker 1: team's defensive line in this game, despite Joey Bosa and

1241
00:55:49,200 --> 00:55:52,200
Speaker 1: Khleil Mak, The answer is yes, like the Chargers just

1242
00:55:52,200 --> 00:55:53,680
Speaker 1: haven't been rushing the past row. And then on the

1243
00:55:53,719 --> 00:55:55,440
Speaker 1: flip side, is their pass rush better than the other

1244
00:55:55,440 --> 00:55:57,640
Speaker 1: team's offensive line? Again, the answer is yes. When the

1245
00:55:57,680 --> 00:55:59,680
Speaker 1: answer to that is yes, almost every week you win

1246
00:55:59,719 --> 00:56:00,000
Speaker 1: a lot.

1247
00:55:59,920 --> 00:56:03,480
Speaker 3: Of One of the things I to that point is

1248
00:56:04,000 --> 00:56:06,560
Speaker 3: these are both units on either side of the ball

1249
00:56:06,680 --> 00:56:09,280
Speaker 3: that have gotten better and better and better and better

1250
00:56:09,800 --> 00:56:13,440
Speaker 3: as time has passed in Denver, and the Chargers have

1251
00:56:13,560 --> 00:56:16,920
Speaker 3: either stayed the same or have deteriorated in some ways,

1252
00:56:16,960 --> 00:56:20,239
Speaker 3: sometimes due to injury, other times just due to a

1253
00:56:20,320 --> 00:56:24,200
Speaker 3: lack of completeness or dimension that it exists within that

1254
00:56:24,280 --> 00:56:27,239
Speaker 3: team right now. You know, I've remained really impressed with

1255
00:56:27,280 --> 00:56:31,120
Speaker 3: what Jesse Minter has done with that defense considering what

1256
00:56:31,160 --> 00:56:34,600
Speaker 3: they entered the season with. But the Broncos are just

1257
00:56:34,680 --> 00:56:38,080
Speaker 3: playing more complete And that's how I kind of describe

1258
00:56:38,120 --> 00:56:39,120
Speaker 3: the Broncos right now.

1259
00:56:39,440 --> 00:56:40,480
Speaker 7: This is the time of year.

1260
00:56:40,360 --> 00:56:42,919
Speaker 3: Where you want to be as complete a team as

1261
00:56:42,960 --> 00:56:44,400
Speaker 3: possible in every phase.

1262
00:56:44,440 --> 00:56:47,040
Speaker 7: The defense isn't just solid. They are attacking.

1263
00:56:47,280 --> 00:56:50,279
Speaker 3: You know, the Broncos and the Chargers defense are two

1264
00:56:50,320 --> 00:56:52,239
Speaker 3: of the three teams that are leading the league right

1265
00:56:52,280 --> 00:56:53,640
Speaker 3: now in limiting points per game.

1266
00:56:53,760 --> 00:56:55,520
Speaker 7: What is the third team? Your favorite?

1267
00:56:56,040 --> 00:56:56,279
Speaker 4: Wait?

1268
00:56:56,320 --> 00:56:57,279
Speaker 7: What the third team?

1269
00:56:57,360 --> 00:57:01,239
Speaker 3: That's the third team that at the three way tie

1270
00:57:01,239 --> 00:57:02,919
Speaker 3: and teams that are a limiting.

1271
00:57:02,560 --> 00:57:06,440
Speaker 1: Score Christmas, I'd like to get Colleen like, pay attention college.

1272
00:57:06,440 --> 00:57:06,759
Speaker 4: I don't know.

1273
00:57:06,840 --> 00:57:09,640
Speaker 7: I was trying to see the Eagles for you, Colleen.

1274
00:57:09,719 --> 00:57:11,640
Speaker 5: Well, I go to see the Eagles, but I wasn't

1275
00:57:11,680 --> 00:57:14,800
Speaker 5: actually eat.

1276
00:57:15,239 --> 00:57:19,560
Speaker 3: But the difference, though, is that the Broncos are scoring.

1277
00:57:19,800 --> 00:57:21,840
Speaker 3: They lead the league in scoring defense right now. They've

1278
00:57:21,840 --> 00:57:25,760
Speaker 3: accounted for thirty four points between interception returns for touchdown,

1279
00:57:25,760 --> 00:57:29,400
Speaker 3: fumble recovers for touchdown, and safeties. And that's the difference.

1280
00:57:29,440 --> 00:57:32,680
Speaker 3: And the Chargers I think have scored once on defense

1281
00:57:32,720 --> 00:57:34,439
Speaker 3: this season. I'd have to fact check. I'm sure someone

1282
00:57:34,480 --> 00:57:37,320
Speaker 3: will tell me online at some point after this runs.

1283
00:57:37,520 --> 00:57:40,320
Speaker 3: But this is that's the difference is It's not just

1284
00:57:40,400 --> 00:57:43,480
Speaker 3: the completeness, but they also attack and they're asserting and

1285
00:57:43,760 --> 00:57:45,480
Speaker 3: on the other side of the ball. I don't feel

1286
00:57:45,800 --> 00:57:49,320
Speaker 3: the Chargers attacking teams very effectively. It's like a banged

1287
00:57:49,400 --> 00:57:52,080
Speaker 3: up Justin Herbert throwing to a banged up lad Mconkey,

1288
00:57:52,480 --> 00:57:54,520
Speaker 3: and that is really fun and exciting, but they're not

1289
00:57:54,600 --> 00:57:57,760
Speaker 3: running the ball effectively. Meanwhile, the Broncos just seem to

1290
00:57:57,880 --> 00:58:01,120
Speaker 3: keep getting better as to passes, or even if better's

1291
00:58:01,120 --> 00:58:04,400
Speaker 3: not exactly the right word, completeness. You feel this completeness

1292
00:58:04,680 --> 00:58:05,440
Speaker 3: with what they can do.

1293
00:58:05,560 --> 00:58:08,320
Speaker 5: And the Broncos they had this late buy, which is

1294
00:58:08,360 --> 00:58:09,280
Speaker 5: always helpful.

1295
00:58:09,360 --> 00:58:10,360
Speaker 2: They've won four straight.

1296
00:58:10,400 --> 00:58:13,480
Speaker 5: The Chargers have lost three of their last four, and

1297
00:58:14,240 --> 00:58:17,000
Speaker 5: like when you think about that game against the Chiefs,

1298
00:58:17,040 --> 00:58:19,880
Speaker 5: how it came down to the very end. Justin Herbert

1299
00:58:19,920 --> 00:58:22,720
Speaker 5: now he's dealing with this ankle injury on a short week.

1300
00:58:22,760 --> 00:58:24,400
Speaker 5: They need to fix things. They don't have time to

1301
00:58:24,400 --> 00:58:26,640
Speaker 5: fix things, they don't have time to heal. I expect

1302
00:58:26,680 --> 00:58:30,520
Speaker 5: the pass rush to absolutely get after Justin Herbert. He's

1303
00:58:30,560 --> 00:58:33,120
Speaker 5: not going to be as mobile, obviously, and we saw

1304
00:58:33,120 --> 00:58:35,400
Speaker 5: what they were able to do against Anthony Richardson, who

1305
00:58:35,520 --> 00:58:38,080
Speaker 5: is a lot more mobile. And I just think that

1306
00:58:38,080 --> 00:58:41,040
Speaker 5: the Broncos pass rush they'll have time to get to

1307
00:58:41,080 --> 00:58:44,680
Speaker 5: Herbert because I saw that Patrick Surtan. He was on

1308
00:58:44,760 --> 00:58:48,800
Speaker 5: the estimated practice report a full participant. So the secondary

1309
00:58:48,840 --> 00:58:51,080
Speaker 5: I expect them to hold up and give the pass

1310
00:58:51,160 --> 00:58:52,240
Speaker 5: rush even more time.

1311
00:58:52,360 --> 00:58:54,520
Speaker 2: I don't think it's really great for the charge.

1312
00:58:54,560 --> 00:58:58,040
Speaker 1: Okay, I don't either. I'm trying to make the case

1313
00:58:58,080 --> 00:59:00,800
Speaker 1: for it now. The offensive line for the Chargers really

1314
00:59:00,840 --> 00:59:04,920
Speaker 1: struggled with the Bucks blitzes last week. The Chargers are

1315
00:59:04,920 --> 00:59:06,880
Speaker 1: actually second in the league in terms of giving up

1316
00:59:07,000 --> 00:59:10,680
Speaker 1: unblocked pressures, so just no one's blocked, there's total confusion

1317
00:59:11,400 --> 00:59:13,560
Speaker 1: where to block the guy. And yet they're right in

1318
00:59:13,600 --> 00:59:15,240
Speaker 1: the middle of the pack in total pressures, which to

1319
00:59:15,240 --> 00:59:17,120
Speaker 1: me is a justin Herbert stat which he gets rid

1320
00:59:17,120 --> 00:59:20,280
Speaker 1: of the ball. I do remember this first game they

1321
00:59:20,320 --> 00:59:22,920
Speaker 1: went on these long drives the Chargers did. They got

1322
00:59:22,960 --> 00:59:25,400
Speaker 1: out to a huge lead in Denver. It was probably

1323
00:59:25,440 --> 00:59:28,520
Speaker 1: their most impressive performance of the season. Two that point,

1324
00:59:28,760 --> 00:59:32,200
Speaker 1: Herbert was finally healthy and moving around. And I do think,

1325
00:59:32,280 --> 00:59:34,959
Speaker 1: even though this wasn't the case last week, he's such

1326
00:59:34,960 --> 00:59:39,000
Speaker 1: a smart player that I worry about blitzing him because

1327
00:59:39,000 --> 00:59:42,360
Speaker 1: I think sometimes that plays into his hands, that he

1328
00:59:42,520 --> 00:59:44,320
Speaker 1: knows where to go with the ball and it gives

1329
00:59:44,360 --> 00:59:47,880
Speaker 1: him easier answers, and his guys don't get that open

1330
00:59:48,280 --> 00:59:50,680
Speaker 1: in general, so if there's less guys in the secondary,

1331
00:59:50,720 --> 00:59:52,400
Speaker 1: they can be a little more open. And he's such

1332
00:59:52,400 --> 00:59:55,440
Speaker 1: a smart quarterback that it almost helps to find what

1333
00:59:55,560 --> 00:59:58,360
Speaker 1: he needs to do for an offense that's struggling to

1334
00:59:58,440 --> 01:00:00,000
Speaker 1: create open receivers.

1335
01:00:00,120 --> 01:00:00,360
Speaker 4: Said.

1336
01:00:00,680 --> 01:00:03,160
Speaker 1: The Bucks cooked him up pretty good last week, especially

1337
01:00:03,200 --> 01:00:05,680
Speaker 1: after there was a play where they fell on his ankle.

1338
01:00:05,920 --> 01:00:08,720
Speaker 1: His numbers before that injury eight for ten one zero

1339
01:00:09,080 --> 01:00:11,760
Speaker 1: for one hundred and one yards. After he was thirteen

1340
01:00:11,840 --> 01:00:14,440
Speaker 1: for twenty three for ninety four yards in an interception.

1341
01:00:14,560 --> 01:00:16,120
Speaker 2: So they were shut out in the second half.

1342
01:00:16,200 --> 01:00:20,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, so it got ugly and we'll see. Like I

1343
01:00:20,400 --> 01:00:23,960
Speaker 1: do think like you just need Justin Herbert to be

1344
01:00:24,040 --> 01:00:27,640
Speaker 1: the best player in this game by a decent amount,

1345
01:00:28,120 --> 01:00:30,520
Speaker 1: and that's just the Charger's best hope that they have him,

1346
01:00:31,160 --> 01:00:33,040
Speaker 1: and the Broncos don't.

1347
01:00:33,040 --> 01:00:35,040
Speaker 4: They have bo Nicks, who struggled the last couple of weeks.

1348
01:00:35,120 --> 01:00:36,480
Speaker 3: That's part of the reason I think they're going to

1349
01:00:36,560 --> 01:00:39,520
Speaker 3: try to throw stuff at him and get him not

1350
01:00:39,640 --> 01:00:44,520
Speaker 3: just in a vulnerable position physically for you know, taking

1351
01:00:44,600 --> 01:00:47,720
Speaker 3: hits or whatever, but in a vulnerable position where They're

1352
01:00:47,760 --> 01:00:50,080
Speaker 3: going to see how well he can move on that leg,

1353
01:00:50,440 --> 01:00:53,000
Speaker 3: which is going to be harder to do as the

1354
01:00:53,040 --> 01:00:55,440
Speaker 3: game goes on, because you can treat it up the

1355
01:00:55,480 --> 01:00:58,360
Speaker 3: way that you know you do before a game, but

1356
01:00:58,440 --> 01:01:02,600
Speaker 3: as time passes through that game, if a team keeps attacking, attacking, attacking,

1357
01:01:02,920 --> 01:01:05,240
Speaker 3: like I almost wonder if they really get after him early.

1358
01:01:05,640 --> 01:01:08,000
Speaker 3: The problem too with the Chargers right now is the

1359
01:01:08,080 --> 01:01:11,240
Speaker 3: lack of dimension in the ways that they can protect him.

1360
01:01:11,240 --> 01:01:13,160
Speaker 3: One of the ways that you can protect a quarterback

1361
01:01:13,200 --> 01:01:15,520
Speaker 3: who is banged up is with the run game, and

1362
01:01:15,640 --> 01:01:17,920
Speaker 3: they haven't been running the ball effectively, and again part

1363
01:01:17,960 --> 01:01:20,680
Speaker 3: of that is due to injury, but the other part

1364
01:01:20,760 --> 01:01:23,840
Speaker 3: is they just have not been executing very effectively. And

1365
01:01:23,880 --> 01:01:27,080
Speaker 3: then the most effective and efficient play becomes put the

1366
01:01:27,120 --> 01:01:30,840
Speaker 3: ball in justin Herbert's hand. Yeah, because he's the best

1367
01:01:30,840 --> 01:01:32,800
Speaker 3: player on the team, So put the ball in his hands.

1368
01:01:32,800 --> 01:01:34,800
Speaker 3: And on the one hand, you can understand the logic,

1369
01:01:34,840 --> 01:01:36,200
Speaker 3: but then on the other hand, it opens them up

1370
01:01:36,200 --> 01:01:38,760
Speaker 3: to get killed out there, So they're in a tough spot.

1371
01:01:38,880 --> 01:01:41,960
Speaker 3: The line to walk for an effective game plan when

1372
01:01:42,040 --> 01:01:44,320
Speaker 3: you do have a superstar quarterback but he is hurt

1373
01:01:44,320 --> 01:01:46,360
Speaker 3: in this way, and banged up in this way is

1374
01:01:46,520 --> 01:01:49,640
Speaker 3: so so thin in terms of what kind of a plan.

1375
01:01:50,120 --> 01:01:53,440
Speaker 3: And I just believe, because I've seen the Broncos, especially

1376
01:01:53,440 --> 01:01:56,000
Speaker 3: their defense and now their offense, win in a couple

1377
01:01:56,000 --> 01:01:58,120
Speaker 3: of different ways this season, that they'll be able to

1378
01:01:58,160 --> 01:02:00,360
Speaker 3: adjust to what the Chargers tren do.

1379
01:02:00,440 --> 01:02:02,680
Speaker 5: I think, because they can't establish the run, they're going

1380
01:02:02,760 --> 01:02:06,040
Speaker 5: to just be forced into obvious passing situations. And if

1381
01:02:06,080 --> 01:02:09,720
Speaker 5: Herbert's ankle is still a real issue, the Broncos are

1382
01:02:09,720 --> 01:02:11,120
Speaker 5: going to win this and they'll clinch their.

1383
01:02:11,000 --> 01:02:12,680
Speaker 2: First playoff spot since twenty fifteen.

1384
01:02:12,920 --> 01:02:16,560
Speaker 1: On the flip side, the Chargers defense got cooked by

1385
01:02:16,840 --> 01:02:19,480
Speaker 1: Tampa in the second half of that game. Look, they

1386
01:02:19,520 --> 01:02:21,960
Speaker 1: were head by four at halftime, it was seventeen thirteen.

1387
01:02:22,600 --> 01:02:26,520
Speaker 1: And there are some similarities I think between the Bucks

1388
01:02:27,000 --> 01:02:29,520
Speaker 1: and the Broncos in terms of their quarterbacks get the

1389
01:02:29,560 --> 01:02:33,200
Speaker 1: ball out really quickly, their coordinators can really scheme up

1390
01:02:33,280 --> 01:02:36,760
Speaker 1: open receivers. That both teams are really good blocking for

1391
01:02:36,840 --> 01:02:40,000
Speaker 1: their receivers on the perimeter and just kind of creating

1392
01:02:40,080 --> 01:02:43,000
Speaker 1: first thread football. And that's what bo Nicks needs. When

1393
01:02:43,960 --> 01:02:46,160
Speaker 1: when you take away his first lead, he is just

1394
01:02:46,240 --> 01:02:49,800
Speaker 1: not nearly as effective. That is the Chargers' best hope

1395
01:02:50,160 --> 01:02:52,800
Speaker 1: in this game is that bow Knicks's slump, if you

1396
01:02:52,800 --> 01:02:55,960
Speaker 1: want to call it, that continues now. Last week he

1397
01:02:56,080 --> 01:02:59,120
Speaker 1: was two for eight for thirty three yards and three picks.

1398
01:03:00,120 --> 01:03:04,160
Speaker 1: When throwing over ten yards, he struggled. He it was

1399
01:03:04,200 --> 01:03:06,280
Speaker 1: a first time since September. He looked like the bow

1400
01:03:06,360 --> 01:03:09,600
Speaker 1: Knicks from September. And they closed out the game okay,

1401
01:03:09,600 --> 01:03:11,240
Speaker 1: and people were like, yeah, he bounce back and had

1402
01:03:11,240 --> 01:03:13,200
Speaker 1: a couple of touchdown passes and it was like just

1403
01:03:13,240 --> 01:03:16,120
Speaker 1: a swing pass to you know, a wide receiver that

1404
01:03:16,320 --> 01:03:17,800
Speaker 1: got blocked up, and then two other guys that are

1405
01:03:17,840 --> 01:03:19,680
Speaker 1: wide open, and we know he can hit the first read.

1406
01:03:19,680 --> 01:03:22,200
Speaker 1: So if they can open up plays like that, but

1407
01:03:22,320 --> 01:03:24,560
Speaker 1: he he just seemed a little stuck in his head.

1408
01:03:24,560 --> 01:03:26,080
Speaker 4: He was at three or four yards per attempt.

1409
01:03:26,200 --> 01:03:28,760
Speaker 1: And remember the game before that thereby he threw three

1410
01:03:28,760 --> 01:03:31,200
Speaker 1: interceptions in that game as well. So that's that's five

1411
01:03:31,240 --> 01:03:32,960
Speaker 1: picks in the last couple of weeks. That would be

1412
01:03:33,000 --> 01:03:33,920
Speaker 1: the hope for the Chargers.

1413
01:03:33,960 --> 01:03:37,600
Speaker 3: I do wonder if the Broncos try to get his

1414
01:03:37,680 --> 01:03:39,760
Speaker 3: pocket moving a little bit, but also get him moving

1415
01:03:39,880 --> 01:03:43,240
Speaker 3: a little bit, picking up gimme yards, different things. You

1416
01:03:43,280 --> 01:03:45,280
Speaker 3: know this laid down the season. You obviously you don't

1417
01:03:45,320 --> 01:03:47,760
Speaker 3: want to put your quarterback in danger. But what you

1418
01:03:47,760 --> 01:03:50,160
Speaker 3: said about, you know, the Broncos and the Bucks reminding

1419
01:03:50,200 --> 01:03:52,640
Speaker 3: you of each other, like Baker and bow Nicks remind

1420
01:03:52,680 --> 01:03:54,680
Speaker 3: me of each other. Yeah, a lot in that regard.

1421
01:03:54,680 --> 01:03:57,040
Speaker 3: Were some of these games that Baker has won for

1422
01:03:57,160 --> 01:03:59,360
Speaker 3: the Bucks. And Sean Payton certainly has an eye on

1423
01:03:59,640 --> 01:04:02,520
Speaker 3: this tab is. You know, he's picking up some of

1424
01:04:02,560 --> 01:04:06,120
Speaker 3: the gotta havebit yards by himself that way, extending the

1425
01:04:06,200 --> 01:04:08,760
Speaker 3: run game out to the flats, extending the run game

1426
01:04:08,840 --> 01:04:11,760
Speaker 3: into what the quarterback can actually do, and that'll change

1427
01:04:11,760 --> 01:04:12,959
Speaker 3: the way a defense has to play.

1428
01:04:13,240 --> 01:04:14,200
Speaker 7: You might be able to.

1429
01:04:14,080 --> 01:04:17,240
Speaker 3: Open up some of that short stuff because you're sending

1430
01:04:17,280 --> 01:04:19,760
Speaker 3: one extra defender maybe out into the side or the

1431
01:04:19,800 --> 01:04:22,440
Speaker 3: flat area to try to counter the potential that the

1432
01:04:22,520 --> 01:04:24,120
Speaker 3: quarterback can pick it up with his legs.

1433
01:04:24,160 --> 01:04:26,800
Speaker 4: I'm amazed the Chargers are favored in this game by

1434
01:04:26,840 --> 01:04:27,440
Speaker 4: two and a half.

1435
01:04:27,640 --> 01:04:29,400
Speaker 7: It's a home it's a home game, right.

1436
01:04:29,240 --> 01:04:31,160
Speaker 1: You know it's at home. But it really just feels

1437
01:04:31,200 --> 01:04:33,200
Speaker 1: like the Broncos have been a better team lately. And

1438
01:04:33,880 --> 01:04:36,440
Speaker 1: even though I'll wear my biases like I want the

1439
01:04:36,520 --> 01:04:38,400
Speaker 1: Chargers to win this game. I'm picking the Broncos just

1440
01:04:38,400 --> 01:04:40,280
Speaker 1: because you got to pick the team that you think

1441
01:04:40,360 --> 01:04:41,000
Speaker 1: is the better team.

1442
01:04:41,000 --> 01:04:42,120
Speaker 4: I do think they're a better team.

1443
01:04:42,200 --> 01:04:43,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think the Broncos won.

1444
01:04:44,120 --> 01:04:46,000
Speaker 3: I am picking the Broncos. I actually do think it

1445
01:04:46,040 --> 01:04:48,000
Speaker 3: will be very low scoring between both teams because I

1446
01:04:48,200 --> 01:04:51,080
Speaker 3: think Jesse Minter's defense will rebound in a little bit

1447
01:04:51,120 --> 01:04:51,360
Speaker 3: of a.

1448
01:04:51,520 --> 01:04:54,680
Speaker 1: Love that and like the Broncos don't have much of

1449
01:04:54,680 --> 01:04:59,240
Speaker 1: a running game either, And if when you're making bonicks

1450
01:04:59,280 --> 01:05:01,400
Speaker 1: and they're passing game little one dimensional, you're right, that

1451
01:05:01,440 --> 01:05:03,720
Speaker 1: could be that could be a low scoring game.

1452
01:05:03,760 --> 01:05:04,920
Speaker 4: And shout out to Nick Benito.

1453
01:05:06,080 --> 01:05:07,200
Speaker 7: I love watching him play.

1454
01:05:07,280 --> 01:05:07,720
Speaker 4: Brongos.

1455
01:05:07,760 --> 01:05:10,160
Speaker 1: Fans are pushing like the defensive player of the year stuff,

1456
01:05:10,200 --> 01:05:11,800
Speaker 1: and it is.

1457
01:05:12,280 --> 01:05:13,640
Speaker 4: You know, it's got.

1458
01:05:13,720 --> 01:05:15,840
Speaker 1: It's a tough ass because the first five or six

1459
01:05:15,880 --> 01:05:18,400
Speaker 1: weeks of the season, like he had an extremely low

1460
01:05:18,440 --> 01:05:22,280
Speaker 1: pressure rate, Like he was by the numbers a below

1461
01:05:22,360 --> 01:05:25,080
Speaker 1: average pass rusher for five six weeks of the season.

1462
01:05:25,120 --> 01:05:28,000
Speaker 1: But awards are funny sometime. If you do something crazy

1463
01:05:28,400 --> 01:05:31,520
Speaker 1: in this game after having these back to back pick

1464
01:05:31,640 --> 01:05:34,840
Speaker 1: sixes and you have eleven sacks. If he ends up

1465
01:05:35,080 --> 01:05:37,160
Speaker 1: leading the league, in sacks, Like he gets to fifteen

1466
01:05:37,200 --> 01:05:39,840
Speaker 1: in sacks and he has one more like really crazy

1467
01:05:39,880 --> 01:05:40,480
Speaker 1: memorable play.

1468
01:05:40,760 --> 01:05:41,760
Speaker 4: He's got to have a chance.

1469
01:05:41,800 --> 01:05:43,919
Speaker 1: So go out there and be special, Nick Benido, because

1470
01:05:44,520 --> 01:05:45,520
Speaker 1: you're pretty fun to watch.

1471
01:05:46,080 --> 01:05:49,680
Speaker 3: I know, his ascension since week seven Next Gen has

1472
01:05:49,760 --> 01:05:53,720
Speaker 3: him the seventh highest pressure rate among you know, all

1473
01:05:53,840 --> 01:05:56,000
Speaker 3: edge rushers with at least one hundred and fifty rushes.

1474
01:05:56,360 --> 01:05:59,760
Speaker 3: So it's not exactly like if you start the season hot,

1475
01:05:59,800 --> 01:06:03,160
Speaker 3: it's ascending. He is kind of to me, embodies what

1476
01:06:03,320 --> 01:06:05,560
Speaker 3: a lot of this team has done over this year

1477
01:06:05,720 --> 01:06:08,640
Speaker 3: is they've started to ascent, figure things out and really

1478
01:06:08,800 --> 01:06:12,800
Speaker 3: go from reacting and responding to what teams treateing to

1479
01:06:12,800 --> 01:06:14,800
Speaker 3: them to asserting in different ways.

1480
01:06:14,840 --> 01:06:16,720
Speaker 7: And Nick Benito, I think embodies a lot of that.

1481
01:06:16,760 --> 01:06:18,440
Speaker 2: It's a microcosm of the team.

1482
01:06:18,560 --> 01:06:21,280
Speaker 1: And he's there's actually not an obvious defensive player of

1483
01:06:21,320 --> 01:06:24,800
Speaker 1: the Year right now, so maybe go a little crazy.

1484
01:06:25,120 --> 01:06:27,640
