1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:01,880
Speaker 1: Well, become a snap. It's on the air.

2
00:00:01,880 --> 00:00:07,600
Speaker 2: Hash snap spot kick by Gonzales.

3
00:00:08,320 --> 00:00:14,000
Speaker 1: It is good, fly home safely. Atlanta wins if there's

4
00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:14,680
Speaker 1: order together.

5
00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:22,400
Speaker 2: Twenty nine, twenty eight, the Falcons beat the Buccaneers on

6
00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:30,800
Speaker 2: a forty three yard field goal by saying Gonzales.

7
00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:34,159
Speaker 3: Never doubt Kirk Cousins on Thursday Night football against the

8
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:40,080
Speaker 3: Tampa Bay Buccaneers, one of the most reliable phenomenons in sports.

9
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:45,120
Speaker 3: Falcons come back from twenty eight to fourteen down in

10
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:48,960
Speaker 3: the fourth quarter to stun the Bucks twenty nine to

11
00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:54,840
Speaker 3: twenty eight. That was Westurham on w z GC and

12
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:58,360
Speaker 3: the NFC South might not be great shook, but they

13
00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:00,760
Speaker 3: have a way of coming up up with the most

14
00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:06,399
Speaker 3: ridiculously dumb, entertaining games every season, and this was one

15
00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:06,679
Speaker 3: of them.

16
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:08,080
Speaker 4: This was certainly one of them.

17
00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:10,200
Speaker 5: Especially after it was twenty eight to fourteen. I thought

18
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:13,040
Speaker 5: the Falcons were dead and buried. They had nineteen total

19
00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:14,880
Speaker 5: penalties in this game. I thought, well, you know what,

20
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:17,000
Speaker 5: it's a good thing they're wearing red hats because it's

21
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:19,399
Speaker 5: like wearing red red helmets, because it's like wearing red

22
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:21,520
Speaker 5: hats like they're Santa Claus. Because they were just gifting

23
00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:25,360
Speaker 5: the game to the Buccaneers, terribly timed miscues. It just

24
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:26,960
Speaker 5: seemed like they couldn't get out of their own way.

25
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:29,240
Speaker 5: But Kirk Cousins wasn't going to let him go down

26
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:32,000
Speaker 5: that easily. He's gonna make throws under pressure. He's going

27
00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:35,039
Speaker 5: to take shots from rushers. He's gonna find Kyle Pitts

28
00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:38,440
Speaker 5: a billion times for the Kyle Pitts game, and they're

29
00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:40,440
Speaker 5: somehow going to pull off a victory on the road.

30
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:45,760
Speaker 3: And I can confirm that Connie Wolf is somewhere on

31
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:50,840
Speaker 3: a couch feeling no pain and enjoying her Kyle Pits

32
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:55,080
Speaker 3: breakout games. She's been honking about him all season. And

33
00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:58,240
Speaker 3: here's what he did. Shook eleven catches, one hundred and

34
00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:02,720
Speaker 3: sixty six yards in touchdowns, the first tight end to

35
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:06,880
Speaker 3: put those numbers together one fifty and three since Shannon

36
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:11,040
Speaker 3: Sharp in the nineties. It was just an outrageous game

37
00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:17,040
Speaker 3: by Kyle Pitts. Let's listen to his hat trick touchdown sales.

38
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:19,280
Speaker 2: Over there, Robinson and Mooney here to the near side,

39
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 2: snapped your cousins.

40
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:23,160
Speaker 1: Tampa breaks the pressure, the throwing for the in zone.

41
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:29,240
Speaker 2: It's pets Denny hold on through Denny, give me a signal, fellas.

42
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:33,760
Speaker 1: Touchdown Atlanta boy, he did juggle it here, Wes. This

43
00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:36,480
Speaker 1: is gonna get looked at pretty hard. It's being called

44
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 1: a touchdown. Touchdown. The Tampa crowd says no, and here's

45
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:43,799
Speaker 1: the in turn.

46
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:45,799
Speaker 2: Have to review the ruling on the field stands as

47
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:46,679
Speaker 2: called touchdown.

48
00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:52,639
Speaker 3: Ooh, I love that because when you watch that on replay,

49
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:55,840
Speaker 3: you see there are two defenders in the area. Levante

50
00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:58,520
Speaker 3: David is one of them. They knew by the end

51
00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:01,160
Speaker 3: of the game. You gotta send extra attention to Kyle Pitts.

52
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:03,640
Speaker 3: And it doesn't matter whether it was plays after the catch,

53
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:07,280
Speaker 3: nice touch throws by Kirk Cousins. Pitts was getting it

54
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:10,440
Speaker 3: done all night. And Kirk finishes with three hundred and

55
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:15,160
Speaker 3: seventy three yards versus and three touchdowns. In the last

56
00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:18,200
Speaker 3: three games against the Bucks, he has eleven hundred and

57
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:23,640
Speaker 3: fifty eight yards and eleven touchdowns only one interception. And

58
00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:26,800
Speaker 3: we're gonna have to have a conversation about Todd Bowles's

59
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:30,320
Speaker 3: defense at some point, Shook, I guess it's right now,

60
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:35,600
Speaker 3: because there were many There were many ways to blame

61
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:38,640
Speaker 3: the Bucks for this game, Baker Mayfield will get to

62
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:42,160
Speaker 3: him in his fourth quarter. But to give up that

63
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:45,160
Speaker 3: much all night to a Falcons offense that was trying

64
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:47,920
Speaker 3: to give the game away with penalties. To give up

65
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:50,160
Speaker 3: a drive at the end of the game where they

66
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:52,840
Speaker 3: had a third and twenty eight and then a fourth

67
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:57,720
Speaker 3: and fourteen and let David Sills and Kyle Pitts cook

68
00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:01,760
Speaker 3: you and Bejon Robinson all through the air was a

69
00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:05,160
Speaker 3: little embarrassing. And they were really ahead of what Todd

70
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:06,920
Speaker 3: Bowles was trying to do all night. We got to

71
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:09,760
Speaker 3: give Kirk his flowers for an awesome performance.

72
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:12,240
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, this is what you know, veteran experience

73
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:14,400
Speaker 5: can do for a quarterback who's facing a ton of blitz,

74
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:16,320
Speaker 5: A ton of blitz looks and a ton of blitz

75
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:18,760
Speaker 5: is overall one of those rare games in which the

76
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:22,479
Speaker 5: Buccaneers blitzed eighteen times and recorded a pressure eighteen times?

77
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:24,200
Speaker 5: Did you really ever get the even numbers like that?

78
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:26,400
Speaker 5: But they got home once they got one sack out

79
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:27,520
Speaker 5: of it. Did they get a lot of hits on

80
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:30,080
Speaker 5: Kirk Cousins. They did, and they broke up some passes,

81
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:33,400
Speaker 5: but they didn't affect him enough to undercut this offense,

82
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:35,880
Speaker 5: especially in the key spots in the fourth quarter. There

83
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:39,080
Speaker 5: were multiple times over the final six minutes where I'm

84
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:41,839
Speaker 5: sitting there watching this thinking it's over. He's not going

85
00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:43,800
Speaker 5: to hit this throw, They're not going to convert this

86
00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:44,599
Speaker 5: third and long.

87
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:45,000
Speaker 4: And then he does.

88
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:47,760
Speaker 5: It's David Sills, it's Kyle Pitts, it's Darnell Mooney. It

89
00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:50,280
Speaker 5: doesn't matter. No matter what the Buccaneers tried to do,

90
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:53,359
Speaker 5: they were always, like you said, a step behind what

91
00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:55,360
Speaker 5: the Falcons you know, were able to do offensively. And

92
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:57,960
Speaker 5: of course, like I know, like statistically he doesn't run

93
00:04:58,040 --> 00:04:59,359
Speaker 5: up a massive game, but he still had a lot

94
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:01,599
Speaker 5: of scrimmag yard Bijon Robinson, like he's the best player

95
00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:03,960
Speaker 5: on the field on both sides, and he was a

96
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:05,640
Speaker 5: key part of extending some of these drives and the

97
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:09,320
Speaker 5: Falcons absolutely needed, you know, short checkdowns to Bijon makes

98
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:12,479
Speaker 5: multiple guys miss, picks up first downs, picks up big games,

99
00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:15,560
Speaker 5: shortens the down and distance on key downs that come

100
00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:18,080
Speaker 5: on the next player too after his place, Like he

101
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:19,760
Speaker 5: he played an integral part of this, but of course

102
00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:21,880
Speaker 5: Kyle Pitts did too. But it all starts with Kirk Cousins.

103
00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:24,839
Speaker 5: Which brings me back to the original point. You think

104
00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:28,240
Speaker 5: you tweeted this and you're absolutely right. Something about a

105
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:30,400
Speaker 5: Todd Bowles defense brings the best out of Kirk Cousins.

106
00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:31,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, it does.

107
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:32,719
Speaker 5: We can go back to last year Kirk's two best

108
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:34,800
Speaker 5: games with the Falcons as their starter. We're against Todd

109
00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:37,359
Speaker 5: Bowles defenses. But I also want to circle back to

110
00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:39,120
Speaker 5: a couple of weeks ago when we talked about the

111
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:41,080
Speaker 5: QB Index and where I ranked Kirk Cousins.

112
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:46,960
Speaker 4: That you don't you game it is. You just ran

113
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:48,880
Speaker 4: those Kirk numbers and you said, oh, he didn't look

114
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:51,320
Speaker 4: that good against the Jets. Well, damnity looked that good tonight.

115
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:53,880
Speaker 3: You know what I thought, he didn't look that bad

116
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:58,760
Speaker 3: last week. Overall, he has looked like a pretty good

117
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:01,480
Speaker 3: backup quarterback, which I think is an upgrade from the

118
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:04,400
Speaker 3: last few games that he was playing last year. And

119
00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:07,520
Speaker 3: in this game, he yeah, was another level. Todd Bowles

120
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:12,000
Speaker 3: been running this defense forever and everyone you know, I

121
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:15,359
Speaker 3: just think even though it's unpredictable in certain ways, you know,

122
00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:19,720
Speaker 3: there's a lot of chaos that Kirk knew the pressure

123
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:22,039
Speaker 3: was coming over and over at the end of that game,

124
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:24,680
Speaker 3: and it wasn't all easy. I thought it was interesting

125
00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:28,080
Speaker 3: when Bulls decided to accept a holding penalty that actually

126
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:30,840
Speaker 3: made it second in twenty eight instead of third in eighteen.

127
00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:32,720
Speaker 3: Now it turned into third and twenty eight, but it

128
00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:36,200
Speaker 3: did give them an extra down. I wasn't sure about that.

129
00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:38,480
Speaker 3: They're trying to set up for a game winning field goal,

130
00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:40,880
Speaker 3: so I get it. It was a very tough decision. There

131
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:43,039
Speaker 3: were a lot of crazy decisions, but you're right, like,

132
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:46,400
Speaker 3: this is where a veteran quarterback can help so much.

133
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:48,960
Speaker 3: And Zion McCollum got hurt in this game and was out,

134
00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:52,880
Speaker 3: and right now they're not as good at cornerback as

135
00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:55,480
Speaker 3: they were. Jamel Dean got hurt early, although he did

136
00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:58,400
Speaker 3: come back in. And the Bucks also had some bad luck.

137
00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:01,400
Speaker 3: Look they Levonte David forced the fumble on Darnell Mooney

138
00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:04,400
Speaker 3: inside the ten yard line when they were going in

139
00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:07,400
Speaker 3: for that last Kyle Pits touchdown. The Bucks recovered it.

140
00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:10,640
Speaker 3: They forced the fumble on one of these blitzes against

141
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:14,120
Speaker 3: k against Kirk Cousins on the very last drive, and

142
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:16,640
Speaker 3: Kirk Cousins somehow recovered it.

143
00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:18,160
Speaker 5: Like we got we got the rare, we got the

144
00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:20,000
Speaker 5: rare tie and the tie goes to the offense. You

145
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:21,840
Speaker 5: don't really ever see that, but they said both the

146
00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:24,360
Speaker 5: offense and the defense recovered it, which I don't know

147
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:25,760
Speaker 5: if I've ever heard that, And the tie went to

148
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:28,080
Speaker 5: the offense, which was preserves that. And this is a

149
00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:30,160
Speaker 5: great example too of what the Buccaneers failed to do

150
00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:32,240
Speaker 5: in the little spots, because that fumble that you talked

151
00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:35,160
Speaker 5: about inside the ten ball comes out, there's four Buccaneers

152
00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:37,480
Speaker 5: in that area, and somehow they don't.

153
00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:37,600
Speaker 1: Land on it.

154
00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:40,480
Speaker 5: Ryan Newsll ends up landing on this the offensive lineman, like,

155
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:42,920
Speaker 5: these are the little things that a Todd Bowles defense

156
00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:46,160
Speaker 5: should do to seal a victory, and instead they gave

157
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:49,040
Speaker 5: the Falcons chance after chance after chance and ultimately paid

158
00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:49,680
Speaker 5: the price for it.

159
00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:52,760
Speaker 3: You know what's funny is I get, you know, you

160
00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:55,200
Speaker 3: kind of look and there's no triple numbers in rushing

161
00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:57,920
Speaker 3: or receiving for John Robinson, and so it's like, oh, yeah,

162
00:07:57,960 --> 00:08:00,760
Speaker 3: he wasn't as explosive. And the two biggest place he

163
00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:02,800
Speaker 3: out all night were called back. One was a one

164
00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:05,000
Speaker 3: handed catch on the sideline which he didn't get his

165
00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:07,600
Speaker 3: second foot down, and then another was a big time

166
00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:11,600
Speaker 3: run that got called back by one of the nineteen penalties. Yes,

167
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:14,800
Speaker 3: that was the most for any team all season long,

168
00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:17,800
Speaker 3: the most for any Atlanta Falcons team in the history

169
00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:20,840
Speaker 3: of the franchise. They're wearing those red helmets that Steve

170
00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:23,320
Speaker 3: Bartowski used to wear when he was the number one

171
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:25,800
Speaker 3: overall draft pick of the Falcons when they were playing

172
00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:28,080
Speaker 3: back in the sixties and he was in the seventies.

173
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:30,320
Speaker 3: And never before has there been this many penalties. And

174
00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:32,400
Speaker 3: yet on that night where it didn't feel like Bajohn

175
00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:34,199
Speaker 3: even did that that that much, even though he made

176
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:37,360
Speaker 3: so many miss tackles. Yeah, that was numbered what's the number,

177
00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:39,600
Speaker 3: one hundred and eighty seven yards in this game?

178
00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:41,440
Speaker 5: I thought, I thought mental mathought it was one hundred

179
00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:42,959
Speaker 5: and seventy five. It was what ninety three on the

180
00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:45,240
Speaker 5: ground and two in a touch sdouting.

181
00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:48,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, So he he always serves his fantasy owners with

182
00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:51,160
Speaker 3: eight catches there. He really was the best player, and

183
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:54,080
Speaker 3: he overshadowed like a great performance by Mike Evans who

184
00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:57,240
Speaker 3: comes back and gets six for one thirty two in turn,

185
00:08:57,400 --> 00:09:00,560
Speaker 3: including a really long play down the field. And he

186
00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:03,959
Speaker 3: also forced about I think five penalties, most of them

187
00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:06,360
Speaker 3: were on him by a j Terrell like. He was

188
00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:08,800
Speaker 3: awesome in this game, and yet you look at the

189
00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:10,520
Speaker 3: Bucks and at a certain point you have to say

190
00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:12,640
Speaker 3: this is not a good football team. You get Tristan

191
00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:15,120
Speaker 3: Wurf's back and he plays outstanding tonight. You get Mike

192
00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:18,640
Speaker 3: Evans back, he plays outstanding tonight. Jalen McMillan has a

193
00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:21,920
Speaker 3: big play that almost results in a touchdown, ends up

194
00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:23,800
Speaker 3: on the one yard line and they cash it in.

195
00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:26,640
Speaker 3: And yet they just find a way to trick this

196
00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:30,240
Speaker 3: game away, and it really started with the Baker interception.

197
00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:34,040
Speaker 3: That's kind of the UN's. Then there's two unforgivable plays

198
00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:36,080
Speaker 3: by Baker Mayfield in the fourth quarter of this game.

199
00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:39,280
Speaker 3: One is the interception which really gives the Falcons a

200
00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:41,640
Speaker 3: real chance to make it a comeback in this game.

201
00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:43,560
Speaker 3: And this is the second time he's done this in

202
00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:46,640
Speaker 3: a fourth quarter to lose a game, and it's one

203
00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:48,640
Speaker 3: of the many fourth quarters since that early part of

204
00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:50,280
Speaker 3: the season where he's been bad in the fourth quarter.

205
00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:54,000
Speaker 3: And then they go for it was I think second

206
00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:56,719
Speaker 3: and fourteen. They decide to be aggressive before the two

207
00:09:56,760 --> 00:09:59,760
Speaker 3: minute warning, was absolutely the right call, and he misses

208
00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:04,280
Speaker 3: wide open Abuka. He throws it behind him. Abuka does

209
00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:07,120
Speaker 3: isn't able to make a tough catch. I think most

210
00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:10,240
Speaker 3: quarterbacks hit that throw, and he had just a few

211
00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:12,839
Speaker 3: throws tonight that were just way off. And if he

212
00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:14,760
Speaker 3: hits that throw, we're not talking about anything. In fact,

213
00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:17,360
Speaker 3: we're talking about a nice play in a nice game

214
00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:19,679
Speaker 3: by Baker. But in the crucial moments he was at

215
00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:20,240
Speaker 3: his worst.

216
00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:23,319
Speaker 5: Even in the two point conversion of Chris Godwin. That

217
00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:25,320
Speaker 5: was the ball that was behind Godwin and required a

218
00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:28,520
Speaker 5: fantastic adjustment on the ball by Godwin to catch and

219
00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:30,760
Speaker 5: get his feet down to convert the two point conversion.

220
00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:33,800
Speaker 5: So yeah, it was it was an up and down

221
00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:35,640
Speaker 5: game from Baker, which is what we've seen, you know,

222
00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:38,320
Speaker 5: and a lot of people, I think chalk that up to, oh, well,

223
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:39,920
Speaker 5: he doesn't have his guys out there. You know, he

224
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:42,240
Speaker 5: doesn't have Mike Evans, Chris Godwin's got some rust on him,

225
00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:44,600
Speaker 5: you know, Abuka's he's been banged up for a while

226
00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:46,960
Speaker 5: and he's and everybody knows he's going to Abuka. Well,

227
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:49,719
Speaker 5: he had everybody tonight. Bucky Irving's back, Godwin's been in

228
00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:51,959
Speaker 5: the lineup for a few weeks. Evans is back, McMillan

229
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:55,240
Speaker 5: makes his season debut, and we still see the same struggles,

230
00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:56,640
Speaker 5: and especially in the fourth quarter, and you know that

231
00:10:56,720 --> 00:10:59,840
Speaker 5: interception I thought was a great example of a re

232
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:02,400
Speaker 5: E Morris defense that I felt was a step behind

233
00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:05,000
Speaker 5: for most of the night, especially outside the numbers. They

234
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:08,120
Speaker 5: were picking on Kobe Bryant outside the numbers, like Dyke.

235
00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:11,280
Speaker 5: It was just layups, I mean, speed out motion, a

236
00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:14,559
Speaker 5: guy into a little bit of a stack between two receivers,

237
00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:17,559
Speaker 5: speed out there, everything outside the numbers, Mike Evans, no

238
00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:19,680
Speaker 5: matter who it was, just keep feeding out there. Bryant

239
00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:22,400
Speaker 5: soft coverage had to drive down. The ball never got

240
00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:25,080
Speaker 5: home in time. Evans moss Is Bryant for a catch

241
00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:27,839
Speaker 5: like It's just getting crushed outside the numbers the whole night,

242
00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:29,840
Speaker 5: and in a big spot in the fourth quarter, they

243
00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:31,520
Speaker 5: try to go back to that bread and butter and

244
00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:33,440
Speaker 5: who's there to make the play and bit Baker into

245
00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:36,360
Speaker 5: the throw d Alford to make that perfect place sitting

246
00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:38,240
Speaker 5: underneath the pick it off. I thought it was just

247
00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:41,400
Speaker 5: a great example of them finally adjusting at the perfect

248
00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:43,080
Speaker 5: time and leading on a veteran to make a play

249
00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:45,240
Speaker 5: like that and give themselves a chance to win and

250
00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:47,280
Speaker 5: it's also an example of how the Buccaneers can't get

251
00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:47,520
Speaker 5: out of.

252
00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:48,040
Speaker 4: Their own way.

253
00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:49,360
Speaker 5: They haven't been able to get out of their own

254
00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:51,720
Speaker 5: way for really since the Patriots game. I think that

255
00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:54,280
Speaker 5: loss to the Patriots is probably the start of their

256
00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:56,839
Speaker 5: their downfall. They just haven't been the same team since then.

257
00:11:56,880 --> 00:11:58,800
Speaker 5: The loss of the Saints last week obviously was a

258
00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:00,000
Speaker 5: big example of that, and tonight is.

259
00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:02,360
Speaker 3: I mean, they're two and six in their last eight.

260
00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:05,599
Speaker 3: They're one and five in their last six. And the

261
00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:08,400
Speaker 3: two wins that they have in that stretcher against the Saints,

262
00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:10,760
Speaker 3: a three win team and the Cardinals by three points,

263
00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:12,920
Speaker 3: where they got out gained by one hundred yards, a

264
00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:16,120
Speaker 3: three win team, and at least before they were losing

265
00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:18,960
Speaker 3: two good teams like the Patriots, like you mentioned, like

266
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:21,600
Speaker 3: the Lions if you go back to that primetime game.

267
00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:25,360
Speaker 3: But now they're losing two bad teams too. Let's let's watch,

268
00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:28,480
Speaker 3: you know, if you're watching on YouTube, that fifty yard

269
00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:32,840
Speaker 3: catch by Evans, because I do think the Buccaneers, despite tonight,

270
00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:37,280
Speaker 3: are still my favorite in the NFC style barely over

271
00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:40,679
Speaker 3: the Panthers, they have an advantage, and that was just

272
00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:44,400
Speaker 3: incredible play by Mike Evans, who, like I said, looked

273
00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:49,400
Speaker 3: awesome tonight, was moving so fluidly, made some really difficult throws.

274
00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:52,839
Speaker 3: Baker gave him a hospital ball early where he throws

275
00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:54,760
Speaker 3: way too high and he ends up landing on his

276
00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:58,160
Speaker 3: back and he ends up being okay, but you look

277
00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:00,920
Speaker 3: injured on that play. By the way, you mentioned Kobe Bryant.

278
00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:03,880
Speaker 3: He gave one hundred and two yards and coverage tonight

279
00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:07,960
Speaker 3: against Mike Evans alone, one of the highest numbers for

280
00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:11,840
Speaker 3: one receiver on one cornerback all season long, five for

281
00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:14,079
Speaker 3: one oh two on that one receiver. I do think

282
00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:16,600
Speaker 3: Mike Evans adds a new element for their team that's

283
00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:20,000
Speaker 3: really gonna help. Bucky Irving obviously has helped. Tristan Wurst

284
00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:24,160
Speaker 3: being back helps like they they probably now though, if

285
00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:27,120
Speaker 3: we're thinking big picture and we're watching also the first

286
00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:28,800
Speaker 3: play of the game, you know, first catch of the

287
00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:31,240
Speaker 3: game by Mike Evans, which is awesome. The Bucks crowd

288
00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:34,600
Speaker 3: got so into Mike Evans being back for this game.

289
00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:36,160
Speaker 3: He's really the heart and soul of this team, so

290
00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:40,400
Speaker 3: I think he'll give them something, though, Shook. They probably

291
00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:43,240
Speaker 3: have to sweep the Panthers now or really hope for

292
00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:48,320
Speaker 3: the Panthers, for instance, to lose this week, to lose

293
00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:50,920
Speaker 3: a game that you you know, maybe don't necessarily expect

294
00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:53,760
Speaker 3: the Panthers to lose in New Orleans like a game

295
00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:56,320
Speaker 3: like that, or they're gonna have to now sweep the Panthers.

296
00:13:56,559 --> 00:13:58,880
Speaker 5: Yeah, now it's suddenly very tight and uncomfortable for a

297
00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:01,040
Speaker 5: team that had a very cushy lead early in this

298
00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:03,800
Speaker 5: season and have let that evaporate. I do agree with you, though,

299
00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:06,560
Speaker 5: it is the slimmest of margins that the Buccaneers still

300
00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:08,440
Speaker 5: seem to have a bit of an advantage in the

301
00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:10,199
Speaker 5: NFC South, and it is because of what you just

302
00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:13,240
Speaker 5: said with Mike Evans return, because there was that play

303
00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:16,520
Speaker 5: that we just played there where Evans mosses Kobe Bryant

304
00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:19,640
Speaker 5: for the big game. That was a classic play that

305
00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:22,320
Speaker 5: Baker has turned to throughout his time with the Buccaneers,

306
00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:25,440
Speaker 5: which is f it Mike Evans is down there somewhere,

307
00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:28,200
Speaker 5: I'm just gonna in all else fails, just drop back

308
00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:30,160
Speaker 5: and throw it up the thirteam and hope that he

309
00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:31,760
Speaker 5: makes a play on the ball, which he does. That's

310
00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:33,760
Speaker 5: that's what he's built his career on, is making plays

311
00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:35,400
Speaker 5: like that. Usually it happens on the goal line too,

312
00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:38,360
Speaker 5: but that obviously was a big chunk play that opens

313
00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:40,280
Speaker 5: up their offense. And why I still believe that they

314
00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:43,520
Speaker 5: have an advantage because in the most dire situations, you

315
00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:46,200
Speaker 5: know that is at least an option, whereas in the

316
00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:48,520
Speaker 5: previous six weeks or so, Baker has just.

317
00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:49,600
Speaker 4: Not had those options.

318
00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:53,160
Speaker 5: He's had to scramble, he's had to make some incredible throws,

319
00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:54,120
Speaker 5: which he's just lacked.

320
00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:55,920
Speaker 4: He's you you were right last year and you're right

321
00:14:55,920 --> 00:14:56,160
Speaker 4: this year.

322
00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:58,200
Speaker 5: He's a streaky quarterback and he's been on a downturn

323
00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:00,280
Speaker 5: for a while. But bringing Evans back in the full

324
00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:03,680
Speaker 5: leaf gives you a life raft or something to cling

325
00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:05,600
Speaker 5: to that. Okay, well, maybe we can find a bit

326
00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:07,520
Speaker 5: of a rhythm and for a good stretch of tonight.

327
00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:09,600
Speaker 4: They did. They did, Mike Evans.

328
00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:12,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's just that they didn't finish, and that again

329
00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:14,760
Speaker 5: speaks to the lack of quality in the division and

330
00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:16,560
Speaker 5: why the door is very open for the Panthers.

331
00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:19,400
Speaker 4: The problem, though, is that we don't know who the Panthers.

332
00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:20,640
Speaker 5: Are from week to week, so we can't put our

333
00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:21,920
Speaker 5: full faith behind them right now.

334
00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:26,440
Speaker 3: No but now they have an advantage, which is if

335
00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:29,400
Speaker 3: they can win this Saints game, the Panthers are really

336
00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:32,880
Speaker 3: looking at a situation where splitting with the Bucks might

337
00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:36,240
Speaker 3: be enough, likely will be enough to win the division.

338
00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:39,120
Speaker 3: Because the other Bucks game that we didn't mention, it's

339
00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:42,360
Speaker 3: at Miami. Actually that's a very winnable game. Carolina, on

340
00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:44,200
Speaker 3: the other hand, has has a little bit of a

341
00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:48,720
Speaker 3: tougher schedule down the stretch. I want to point out

342
00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:51,240
Speaker 3: with Baker, though he is streaky, and for a section

343
00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:52,600
Speaker 3: of tonight, I thought it was the best that he

344
00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:54,800
Speaker 3: looked because he made more high level throws in this

345
00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:58,720
Speaker 3: game than we've seen since maybe early October, so I

346
00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:00,760
Speaker 3: give him credit for that. But even a game where

347
00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:04,960
Speaker 3: there were all those positives, he kept taking unnecessary sacks,

348
00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:07,880
Speaker 3: Like the pressure to sack ratio is so high. He

349
00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:11,280
Speaker 3: took five sacks in this game. He was only quote

350
00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:14,160
Speaker 3: hit seven times, so a lot of the times it

351
00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:16,640
Speaker 3: would be a few steps forward, good play, and then

352
00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:19,800
Speaker 3: he would take a negative play. Usually their drives stopped

353
00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:22,760
Speaker 3: because he had taken a negative play or he had

354
00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:25,080
Speaker 3: made a mistake. I didn't feel like the Falcons were

355
00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:29,960
Speaker 3: doing a ton to really stop him. So it's it's

356
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:32,040
Speaker 3: just a you know, you win something, you lose them.

357
00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:34,880
Speaker 3: Let's actually listen to Gene Deckerhoff because you mentioned the

358
00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:37,840
Speaker 3: Godwin two point conversion, and it's one of the reasons

359
00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:40,240
Speaker 3: why I think there's some optimism for this Bucks team

360
00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:42,720
Speaker 3: just a little bit, is that Godwin's back. He's playing

361
00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:45,480
Speaker 3: well at BUKA, had a good night tonight. You have

362
00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:48,240
Speaker 3: the full compliment with McMillan, and yeah, let's listen to

363
00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:50,920
Speaker 3: Godwin got the touchdown and then got the two point

364
00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:52,960
Speaker 3: conversion to give them a fourteen point lead.

365
00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:55,200
Speaker 6: And see if Tampa Bay could punch you in a

366
00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:59,400
Speaker 6: get two. If Goobert had just one two point conversion

367
00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:02,520
Speaker 6: and seven and twise this season, could we make it

368
00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:07,440
Speaker 6: two out of eight? I feel shotguard hive scrap looks

369
00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:08,399
Speaker 6: to his left, looks back to.

370
00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:09,960
Speaker 1: The left, goals old the better and there's a caw

371
00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:14,159
Speaker 1: pall touchdown, two point covers a drive. Chris Gottwold got

372
00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:15,440
Speaker 1: eight points all that try.

373
00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:19,480
Speaker 3: One of my favorite things there shook was Godwin screamed

374
00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:24,080
Speaker 3: then after the octopus the six plus the two, they

375
00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:27,840
Speaker 3: the broadcast picked him up screaming octopus. A shout out

376
00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:32,439
Speaker 3: to Chris Godwin, one of us. I love that. Uh

377
00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:36,240
Speaker 3: what did you think about the Falcons decision? They go

378
00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:40,040
Speaker 3: on a quite a long touchdown drive after that, and

379
00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:42,640
Speaker 3: we're gonna wrap up this game talk with this year.

380
00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:45,840
Speaker 3: They cut the lead to eight, twenty eight to twenty

381
00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:49,680
Speaker 3: and they go for the two. So they don't get it.

382
00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:52,760
Speaker 3: There seems to be a miscommunication on the play. Kirk

383
00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:56,119
Speaker 3: Cousins isn't happy. Then that forces them to go for

384
00:17:56,200 --> 00:18:00,320
Speaker 3: two again. When they ultimately you know, cut the score

385
00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:03,159
Speaker 3: to twenty eight twenty six, they fail again and then

386
00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:05,320
Speaker 3: that sets up what ends up being the game winning

387
00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:06,240
Speaker 3: to Feeld goal at the end.

388
00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:09,639
Speaker 5: Uh, step into my office please, because I have some

389
00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:12,520
Speaker 5: things that I would like to tell you about this strategy.

390
00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:14,440
Speaker 5: I've complained about it before and I'm going to complain

391
00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:20,120
Speaker 5: about it again. The idea of going for two down

392
00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:24,280
Speaker 5: eight in the fourth quarter is backed supposedly by analytics,

393
00:18:24,359 --> 00:18:27,800
Speaker 5: with the thought that it increases your chance of victory.

394
00:18:28,359 --> 00:18:31,240
Speaker 5: I am one hundred percent against this, and we saw

395
00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:36,360
Speaker 5: exactly why tonight. The Falcons went for two twice. Supposedly,

396
00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:39,639
Speaker 5: you know, maybe they're two best go for two plays, right,

397
00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:42,320
Speaker 5: Neither looked anywhere close to being completed. They were just

398
00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:45,040
Speaker 5: completely disjointed messes. The first one, especially the second one.

399
00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:47,560
Speaker 5: Cousins didn't sense the pressure and didn't get the ball

400
00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:49,440
Speaker 5: out in time. That's got to be a hot immediate

401
00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:51,159
Speaker 5: like they put Bejon on the flat, he's got to

402
00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:54,280
Speaker 5: get the ball out. When you're down fourteen and you score.

403
00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:58,000
Speaker 5: The idea of going for two is the idea that, well, well,

404
00:18:58,040 --> 00:18:59,399
Speaker 5: we get the two, then we only have to kick

405
00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:01,560
Speaker 5: an extra point to win the game. Yeah, but you

406
00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:03,639
Speaker 5: fail to recognize that if you don't get it, you

407
00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:05,720
Speaker 5: bask yourself into a corner in which you must go

408
00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:06,960
Speaker 5: for two to go to overtime.

409
00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:09,800
Speaker 3: Right, you know you know that you're just thinking no.

410
00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:11,880
Speaker 3: And here's why I get it the next time.

411
00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:12,600
Speaker 4: Here's why.

412
00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:14,440
Speaker 5: And those who watch me play college football on Twitch

413
00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:17,159
Speaker 5: saw me do this the other day. You kick the

414
00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:19,119
Speaker 5: extra point to make it a seven point game. If

415
00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:21,919
Speaker 5: you are fortunate enough to score again and have the opportunity,

416
00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:24,760
Speaker 5: you preserve the option to kick the extra point to

417
00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:28,080
Speaker 5: send it to overtime. Or if you're feeling, you know, gutsy,

418
00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:30,040
Speaker 5: you go for two and you go for the win.

419
00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:33,080
Speaker 5: In that scenario, you save that option until later.

420
00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:38,520
Speaker 3: Okay, I understand that, And I think it's all situational,

421
00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:40,760
Speaker 3: depending on the game, the situation. So I don't think

422
00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:43,439
Speaker 3: anything should be hard and fast. I think you can

423
00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:45,720
Speaker 3: make the argument that the way this game played out

424
00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:50,040
Speaker 3: is actually even a reason to do it. They still

425
00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:52,000
Speaker 3: won the game, shook and because.

426
00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:53,760
Speaker 4: That should not factor into my life.

427
00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:56,040
Speaker 3: No, no, no, that should here because I want to

428
00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:59,440
Speaker 3: have as many different chances to win the game. And

429
00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:02,679
Speaker 3: the reason why I'm okay with it even if they

430
00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:05,800
Speaker 3: lose the game because of that, and they don't go

431
00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:08,000
Speaker 3: to overtime, and in theory, in another world, they would

432
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:12,440
Speaker 3: have gone overtime. The game of football, like you play

433
00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:16,960
Speaker 3: to win the game, and so you're asking you're asking

434
00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:19,760
Speaker 3: your players and the players that are playing the best

435
00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:22,280
Speaker 3: on that night, which is definitely Kirk Cousins in the offense,

436
00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:26,920
Speaker 3: to go win it for you and and and like

437
00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:31,080
Speaker 3: win the game, not waiting for overtime and playing extra

438
00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:34,959
Speaker 3: like win it. And you know, eleven men on eleven men,

439
00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:37,480
Speaker 3: and the Bucks won those two plays, and then you

440
00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:40,359
Speaker 3: just okay, you know you were too good for us tonight,

441
00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:42,840
Speaker 3: but I liked our offense better than their defense. And

442
00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:44,760
Speaker 3: on those two plays they want it instead of waiting

443
00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:47,400
Speaker 3: for overtime. And oh, by the way, there's very much

444
00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:50,879
Speaker 3: a possibility that yes, we failed on those two, but

445
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:53,440
Speaker 3: that there could be even time to get the ball

446
00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:54,879
Speaker 3: back and you win the game again.

447
00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:59,119
Speaker 4: But if you follow my approach, you could still you

448
00:20:59,200 --> 00:20:59,640
Speaker 4: have that option.

449
00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:01,200
Speaker 3: Yes, it would have been tied.

450
00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:03,400
Speaker 5: No no, no, no, no, they don't have to tie

451
00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:04,720
Speaker 5: it the second time. They could go for two. Then

452
00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:06,520
Speaker 5: if they want to the second time and go for

453
00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:08,399
Speaker 5: a one point lead or be down by one, and

454
00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:11,360
Speaker 5: the same scenario plays out. It's just in my mind,

455
00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:13,240
Speaker 5: why back yourself into a corner in which you must

456
00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:15,000
Speaker 5: go for two, especially when the first one fails and

457
00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:18,159
Speaker 5: you're like, god, we probably can't convert a two pointers.

458
00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:21,960
Speaker 3: It's a really interesting conversation, and I don't think there's

459
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:24,640
Speaker 3: a right answer, And I do think it's really dependent

460
00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:27,520
Speaker 3: on the team, the game in this situation that I

461
00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:29,920
Speaker 3: don't like anything close to a hard and fast rule.

462
00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:32,080
Speaker 3: I also think the fact, like the Falcons are the

463
00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:34,440
Speaker 3: Falcons and have four wins on the season.

464
00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:34,320
Speaker 4: Or.

465
00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:38,720
Speaker 5: Go for the second time, or just go for to

466
00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:40,520
Speaker 5: the second time. That's all I'm saying. Just do it

467
00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:41,160
Speaker 5: the second time.

468
00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:41,600
Speaker 4: Yeah.

469
00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:47,679
Speaker 3: But the thing that I find just a little unsettling

470
00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:49,639
Speaker 3: is that all these like tough guys who are like,

471
00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:51,560
Speaker 3: how can you listen to the math? How can you

472
00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:55,359
Speaker 3: like how about you just like decided on the field

473
00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:58,040
Speaker 3: instead of just like letting your kicker go out there

474
00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:00,960
Speaker 3: to hey, let's kick the ball and tie. How about

475
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:03,600
Speaker 3: being real men and try to go win a football game.

476
00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:06,320
Speaker 3: I would think this would work with the current crab Street.

477
00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:09,440
Speaker 5: And that's why you go into that second scenario and

478
00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:11,320
Speaker 5: you say, let's go win it right now, Let's go

479
00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:13,000
Speaker 5: for two and go for the one point lead and

480
00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:13,239
Speaker 5: the win.

481
00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:13,800
Speaker 1: That's it.

482
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:14,800
Speaker 4: That's all I'm saying.

483
00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:18,399
Speaker 3: We've got more on this show. Chris Pabona begging us

484
00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:21,879
Speaker 3: to take a break, and it is time man the

485
00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:26,040
Speaker 3: Falcons and Raheem Morris just screaming at the camera afterwards.

486
00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:30,159
Speaker 3: Good for him. It's been a tough season. With the

487
00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:32,720
Speaker 3: way this game was going. I was wondering was Zach Robinson,

488
00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:36,600
Speaker 3: the offensive coordinator, getting on the flight home because of

489
00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:39,239
Speaker 3: all those penalties and if they had lost this game

490
00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:41,639
Speaker 3: in ugly fashion. Who knows. We don't know about the future,

491
00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:43,880
Speaker 3: but a good night for them. Buck season is not over.

492
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:46,439
Speaker 3: But this is not a good football team, as their

493
00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:48,320
Speaker 3: record indicates. We're going to talk about who are the

494
00:22:48,359 --> 00:22:51,520
Speaker 3: best football teams in the entire NFL After the break,

495
00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:54,680
Speaker 3: We're going to do a power rankings. Shook, it's been

496
00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:57,639
Speaker 3: five weeks since we did this, and we're going to

497
00:22:57,720 --> 00:23:00,720
Speaker 3: go thirty two to one and decide who are the

498
00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:15,240
Speaker 3: very best back in people back on NFL Daily. Yes, Shook,

499
00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:17,480
Speaker 3: this has happened a couple of times. Whenever we think

500
00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:19,800
Speaker 3: it's going to be a bad Thursday night game, I'm like, OK,

501
00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:21,880
Speaker 3: we got to give the people a little red meat.

502
00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:23,320
Speaker 3: We got to give them what they want. Let's do

503
00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:26,720
Speaker 3: some power ranking and then that Thursday night game turns

504
00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:30,080
Speaker 3: out to be a banger. But you know what, why

505
00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:34,159
Speaker 3: not have two big slices of big red meat. I

506
00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:36,600
Speaker 3: don't care, I'm getting old. Does that even make sense?

507
00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:36,879
Speaker 1: No?

508
00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:41,760
Speaker 5: I mean, like two nights ago at Marble Room in Cleveland,

509
00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:44,920
Speaker 5: like it's a great place, and yeah, fresh off of

510
00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:46,240
Speaker 5: tasting that fantastic steak.

511
00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:47,640
Speaker 4: Yes, let's give them all the red meat.

512
00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:50,560
Speaker 3: I eat way too much red meat and I never

513
00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:55,359
Speaker 3: regret it. Let's do the power rankings bottom to top,

514
00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:58,080
Speaker 3: and we'll speed through. The bottom team is because they've

515
00:23:58,119 --> 00:24:01,359
Speaker 3: been out of it for a while. The bottom quartile

516
00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:05,639
Speaker 3: number thirty two, the Las Vegas Raiders. We were in

517
00:24:05,760 --> 00:24:08,080
Speaker 3: complete agreement on that that they are now the worst

518
00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:11,639
Speaker 3: team in the NFL. Congratulations to Tom Brady and what

519
00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:15,080
Speaker 3: you've done. The Tennessee Titans at thirty one, Jets thirty.

520
00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:17,760
Speaker 3: The Commanders. Man, if we had seen this at the

521
00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:20,639
Speaker 3: beginning of the season, Shook that the Commanders are the

522
00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:22,960
Speaker 3: twenty ninth best team in the NFL. My god, the

523
00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:26,600
Speaker 3: Giants at twenty eight, Cardinals twenty seven. Man, that's sad.

524
00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:29,400
Speaker 3: You had them a few spots lower than me. Brown's

525
00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:32,400
Speaker 3: at twenty six. And here's just a little light pat

526
00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:34,880
Speaker 3: on the back for the New Orleans Saints. Why don't

527
00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:38,119
Speaker 3: you give the Saints some love. Hey, you're only the

528
00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:40,480
Speaker 3: eighth worst team in the NFL according to me and Shook.

529
00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:42,440
Speaker 5: I mean, you know, if it was like a month

530
00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:44,840
Speaker 5: and a half ago, they probably would have been thirtieth here,

531
00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:47,480
Speaker 5: So congrats, you've climbed five spots. And it's because you've

532
00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:50,440
Speaker 5: been You've been spunky, you've been you know, scrappy. In

533
00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:52,840
Speaker 5: your last few games. You beat the Buccaneers. You beat

534
00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:54,680
Speaker 5: the Panthers in a weird game in week ten, and

535
00:24:55,280 --> 00:24:57,639
Speaker 5: you had a close loss to the Dolphins in week thirteen.

536
00:24:57,720 --> 00:25:00,840
Speaker 5: Good on you, Tyler Shuck. Keep balling, man. I honestly, Greg,

537
00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:02,280
Speaker 5: I know we're not going to divert too much here,

538
00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:04,120
Speaker 5: but I actually think Tyler Schuck has the goods.

539
00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:05,880
Speaker 4: He just needs reps. Like I like what I've seen

540
00:25:05,920 --> 00:25:06,479
Speaker 4: for him so far.

541
00:25:07,080 --> 00:25:09,760
Speaker 3: Okay, if you there was one team in the s

542
00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:12,440
Speaker 3: bottom eight you wouldn't want to play. I mean, I

543
00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:15,080
Speaker 3: guess in theory, according to our rankings, it's the Saints.

544
00:25:15,760 --> 00:25:18,880
Speaker 3: To me, it would probably be the Browns. Yeah, something

545
00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:21,040
Speaker 3: about that, just because of their defense. And then the

546
00:25:21,119 --> 00:25:24,399
Speaker 3: Cardinals are just good enough to lose against a decent

547
00:25:24,560 --> 00:25:26,600
Speaker 3: team at least they were. Let's go to the next

548
00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:28,720
Speaker 3: quart out because like those teams have been dead forever.

549
00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:31,159
Speaker 3: The order of it doesn't matter too much to me.

550
00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:34,960
Speaker 3: We have the Falcons here at twenty four. Now we

551
00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:37,119
Speaker 3: kind of assume going into it that they're going to

552
00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:39,320
Speaker 3: lose this game. Maybe maybe we should bump them up

553
00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:41,200
Speaker 3: a spot over the Viking to or twenty three. But

554
00:25:41,280 --> 00:25:44,040
Speaker 3: I wouldn't put him any higher just because they made

555
00:25:44,080 --> 00:25:48,360
Speaker 3: this comeback. The Colts all the way down at twenty two.

556
00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:52,560
Speaker 3: Let's stop there. We have the Colts below teams like

557
00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:58,360
Speaker 3: the Dolphins, Bengals, Panthers. What was your thought process here

558
00:25:58,440 --> 00:26:00,959
Speaker 3: of like where this Colts team is that? And how

559
00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:02,480
Speaker 3: sad is it that we had them like in the

560
00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:05,480
Speaker 3: top five, you know, eight weeks ago and now they're

561
00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:06,240
Speaker 3: down at twenty two.

562
00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:08,760
Speaker 5: Well, when we did that, most likely like who we

563
00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:10,680
Speaker 5: could see you know, getting to the super Bowl a

564
00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:12,800
Speaker 5: few weeks ago. God, that aged poorly for me putting

565
00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:14,959
Speaker 5: the Colts that high. But I mean, this just speaks

566
00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:17,159
Speaker 5: to the value of a quarterback. It's it reminds me

567
00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:20,560
Speaker 5: of the College Football Playoff when they decided to leave

568
00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:22,760
Speaker 5: undefeated Florida State out because they didn't have Jordan Travis

569
00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:24,720
Speaker 5: because he had suffered a season enning leg injury. It's

570
00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:27,560
Speaker 5: the same thing, like your quarterbacks out, and we've seen

571
00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:30,359
Speaker 5: how they struggled even with a you know, injured Daniel

572
00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:32,640
Speaker 5: Jones with that leg fracture for a couple weeks before

573
00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:35,600
Speaker 5: he got hurt. Now, this could also age really poorly

574
00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:39,160
Speaker 5: if Philip Rivers authors the greatest Disney movie You've ever

575
00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:41,920
Speaker 5: seen and comes out and balls out for them, but

576
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:42,880
Speaker 5: it's not gonna happen.

577
00:26:43,160 --> 00:26:45,320
Speaker 3: And I think that helps explain why the Bengals are

578
00:26:45,359 --> 00:26:48,320
Speaker 3: even as high as twenty, because Doe Burrow is playing

579
00:26:48,359 --> 00:26:51,240
Speaker 3: football and he's playing it incredibly. I finally got to

580
00:26:51,320 --> 00:26:54,600
Speaker 3: that Bills game and like, oh man, he was so

581
00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:57,400
Speaker 3: good in that game. Josh Allen was even better because

582
00:26:57,440 --> 00:27:00,440
Speaker 3: Josh Allen didn't have that Benford play unfortunately, for which

583
00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:02,480
Speaker 3: is more of a great defensive player than anything. But

584
00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:07,320
Speaker 3: that was just awesome. I would change the rankings and

585
00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:09,960
Speaker 3: put the Buccaneers now below the Steelers in the Ravens,

586
00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:12,720
Speaker 3: So we have the Steelers at seventeen, the Ravens at eighteen,

587
00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:16,160
Speaker 3: the Panthers at nineteen. But just kind of talk about

588
00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:21,280
Speaker 3: that group because it's depressing to me that those two

589
00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:24,639
Speaker 3: AFC North teams are right there and we basically agreed

590
00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:26,840
Speaker 3: on them with like the Panthers kind of in a

591
00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:30,159
Speaker 3: category also with the Bucks is like, yeah, like two

592
00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:32,280
Speaker 3: of these teams are gonna make the playoffs, but they're

593
00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:34,879
Speaker 3: not even among the best fourteen teams in the NFL.

594
00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:35,720
Speaker 1: No, they're not.

595
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:39,359
Speaker 5: And it speaks to the poor quality of both the

596
00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:41,280
Speaker 5: NFC South and the AFC North. I mean, we have

597
00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:44,359
Speaker 5: three AFC North teams in this group. It just tells

598
00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:46,400
Speaker 5: you how bad the division is, or just how mid

599
00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:48,879
Speaker 5: the division is. And we got the mid off already

600
00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:51,480
Speaker 5: last weekend between the Steelers and the Ravens, Steelers coming

601
00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:52,640
Speaker 5: out on top in that one.

602
00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:55,480
Speaker 4: But it's none of these teams look strong. None of

603
00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:56,920
Speaker 4: these teams that look at the Super.

604
00:27:56,760 --> 00:28:01,400
Speaker 3: Bowl pick wind everyone else. Makes sense. But the fact

605
00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:03,760
Speaker 3: that I'm I'm willing to drop them this low in

606
00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:07,320
Speaker 3: the power rankings when their defense the numbers would tell

607
00:28:07,320 --> 00:28:09,000
Speaker 3: you it's been pretty good over the last few months,

608
00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:10,880
Speaker 3: although I have my doubts about it. Like a team

609
00:28:11,080 --> 00:28:18,359
Speaker 3: quarterbacked by Lamar Jackson, I just it's it's one of

610
00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:22,720
Speaker 3: the most disappointing seasons by any team in a long time.

611
00:28:22,840 --> 00:28:25,800
Speaker 3: And I feel like it's weirdly slipped under the radar

612
00:28:26,240 --> 00:28:29,000
Speaker 3: because Lamar missed that time, and you can kind of

613
00:28:29,040 --> 00:28:32,000
Speaker 3: blame it on his hamstring. But to me, there's more

614
00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:35,520
Speaker 3: that's rotten there than just that. It's it's really disappointing.

615
00:28:35,640 --> 00:28:36,879
Speaker 5: So the way I kind of want to frame this

616
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:39,960
Speaker 5: group is like if you pit the Bengals against the

617
00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:41,880
Speaker 5: Steelers or Ravens right now, who are you picking in

618
00:28:41,960 --> 00:28:43,840
Speaker 5: that game? Because I know who I'm picking, and it's

619
00:28:43,880 --> 00:28:45,920
Speaker 5: not the Steelers of the Ravens, like just based on

620
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:47,320
Speaker 5: how they've played over the last month.

621
00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:49,760
Speaker 3: And I also good point, Yeah, we should have the

622
00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:51,880
Speaker 3: Bengals higher then if that's at.

623
00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:54,760
Speaker 4: Least but like we're looking at total product.

624
00:28:54,920 --> 00:28:56,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, I guess power rankings is like who you'd take

625
00:28:56,560 --> 00:28:58,720
Speaker 5: on a neutral field or whatever right now. But I

626
00:28:59,040 --> 00:29:01,200
Speaker 5: also look at the Ravens and Steelers and I think

627
00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:03,200
Speaker 5: if there was any team that's gonna climb out of

628
00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:06,840
Speaker 5: this group, I believe it's probably the Ravens. And because

629
00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:09,480
Speaker 5: Lamar looked a little bit better last week. He had

630
00:29:09,520 --> 00:29:12,800
Speaker 5: more mobility, he looked more like himself, their defense is

631
00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:15,200
Speaker 5: just very hit or miss right now. After having a

632
00:29:15,360 --> 00:29:18,520
Speaker 5: relatively strong couple of weeks, it's hard to predict who

633
00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:19,880
Speaker 5: they are, kind of like it's hard to predict to

634
00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:21,280
Speaker 5: the Panthers are going to be from week to week.

635
00:29:21,920 --> 00:29:23,960
Speaker 5: And I think if Lamar can continue to get closer

636
00:29:24,040 --> 00:29:26,280
Speaker 5: to who he is, than they could elevate. My other

637
00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:28,080
Speaker 5: issue with them is that Derek Henry, I hate to

638
00:29:28,120 --> 00:29:30,280
Speaker 5: say it, father time looks like it's starting to hit him.

639
00:29:30,320 --> 00:29:32,160
Speaker 5: He's just not very effective right now, and that's kind

640
00:29:32,160 --> 00:29:35,800
Speaker 5: of hurting their entire offense, especially with a relatively immobile

641
00:29:35,920 --> 00:29:36,640
Speaker 5: Lamar Jackson.

642
00:29:37,080 --> 00:29:39,440
Speaker 3: You know who else is hitting him, like the all

643
00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:43,120
Speaker 3: the free rushers that Daniel Falle just watches like run by.

644
00:29:43,280 --> 00:29:45,680
Speaker 3: But you're right, I agree that Derek Henry doesn't look good.

645
00:29:45,920 --> 00:29:49,120
Speaker 3: Let's bring up the next graphic, Chris, of the next

646
00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:51,840
Speaker 3: sixteen teams, and yes, I would knock the Buccaneers now

647
00:29:52,400 --> 00:29:55,640
Speaker 3: below this, Steelers, Ravens, even the Panthers team. That's just

648
00:29:55,760 --> 00:29:58,440
Speaker 3: it's been too long of a stretch. So we have

649
00:29:58,560 --> 00:30:03,760
Speaker 3: the Chiefs at fifteen, the Cowboys at fourteen, and the

650
00:30:03,840 --> 00:30:08,200
Speaker 3: Eagles at thirteen. Let's actually throw up your QB Index rankings.

651
00:30:08,280 --> 00:30:08,400
Speaker 1: Now.

652
00:30:08,440 --> 00:30:11,320
Speaker 3: I know Joe Burrow was the biggest riser on the

653
00:30:11,400 --> 00:30:15,360
Speaker 3: QB Index rankings this week. It is time for Quarterback Keeper,

654
00:30:15,680 --> 00:30:21,520
Speaker 3: presented by Snapdragon. But I was curious to see where

655
00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:26,720
Speaker 3: Dak Prescott was on your list, and if Patrick Mahomes

656
00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:28,920
Speaker 3: was in your top ten. I just want to give

657
00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:33,880
Speaker 3: you the floor for the moment that Patrick Mahomes is

658
00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:37,600
Speaker 3: just not even in your top ten. Shook, where is

659
00:30:37,720 --> 00:30:40,120
Speaker 3: he right now? And what do you have to say

660
00:30:40,160 --> 00:30:40,680
Speaker 3: for yourself.

661
00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:41,920
Speaker 4: He is twelfth right now.

662
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:44,760
Speaker 5: He drops seven spots, And I think that sometimes in

663
00:30:44,840 --> 00:30:49,080
Speaker 5: this process, a ranking can really reflect a couple of weeks,

664
00:30:49,600 --> 00:30:52,520
Speaker 5: and I think that applies to Patrick Mahomes. The reason

665
00:30:52,640 --> 00:30:54,560
Speaker 5: is is that I believe that I've had about the

666
00:30:54,600 --> 00:30:57,960
Speaker 5: most faith of anybody in Mahomes' ability to overcome challenges

667
00:30:57,960 --> 00:31:00,280
Speaker 5: around him and lead his team to victory. Done it

668
00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:02,480
Speaker 5: for multiple years. He was a big reason why they

669
00:31:02,520 --> 00:31:04,960
Speaker 5: got to the super Bowl last year. He's not doing

670
00:31:05,040 --> 00:31:08,040
Speaker 5: that anymore. We can talk about the three interceptions, we

671
00:31:08,080 --> 00:31:09,960
Speaker 5: could talk about the ten straight incompletions in the game

672
00:31:09,960 --> 00:31:11,400
Speaker 5: against Houston, but it's more than that.

673
00:31:11,800 --> 00:31:15,040
Speaker 4: He's just not doing the things that he did before.

674
00:31:15,240 --> 00:31:17,640
Speaker 5: His scrambling, his play, extending the ball the way it's

675
00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:19,960
Speaker 5: coming out of his hand just like has a noseedive

676
00:31:20,040 --> 00:31:22,320
Speaker 5: to it. He just doesn't look like himself. And it

677
00:31:22,360 --> 00:31:24,560
Speaker 5: doesn't help him that people aren't catching passes on the

678
00:31:24,640 --> 00:31:26,680
Speaker 5: other end either. So I felt like this is a

679
00:31:26,720 --> 00:31:29,040
Speaker 5: bit of a course correction over a few weeks of performance,

680
00:31:29,080 --> 00:31:31,480
Speaker 5: maybe even going back to Thanksgiving that loss to the Cowboys,

681
00:31:31,880 --> 00:31:34,000
Speaker 5: And when I look at the performance of some of

682
00:31:34,040 --> 00:31:35,880
Speaker 5: these quarterbacks that are in the top ten, and I

683
00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:38,000
Speaker 5: measure them against Mahomes over the last month or so

684
00:31:38,080 --> 00:31:40,160
Speaker 5: and really over the whole season. I'm just thinking, look,

685
00:31:40,240 --> 00:31:42,640
Speaker 5: late season, these guys are building real minium. They deserve

686
00:31:42,720 --> 00:31:44,200
Speaker 5: to be in this top ten more than Mahomes. He

687
00:31:44,280 --> 00:31:45,520
Speaker 5: needs to fall out of the top ten for the

688
00:31:45,560 --> 00:31:48,000
Speaker 5: first time in the history of me doing QB Index.

689
00:31:48,200 --> 00:31:50,200
Speaker 5: But I wasn't going to move Dak because we know

690
00:31:50,840 --> 00:31:53,480
Speaker 5: that Dak is the engine that makes the Cowboys offense go.

691
00:31:53,560 --> 00:31:55,840
Speaker 5: And it doesn't matter if it's Ceedee Lamb or George

692
00:31:55,880 --> 00:31:59,280
Speaker 5: Pickens or Ryan Flinoy who's out there. He's continuing to

693
00:31:59,320 --> 00:32:02,240
Speaker 5: throw them in two games. Yes, they lost to Detroit. Yes,

694
00:32:02,280 --> 00:32:04,160
Speaker 5: he had a couple of turnovers, they were contested balls.

695
00:32:04,280 --> 00:32:06,720
Speaker 5: It wasn't really entirely his fault. I still believe he

696
00:32:06,760 --> 00:32:07,800
Speaker 5: deserves to be in the top five.

697
00:32:08,360 --> 00:32:11,280
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I agree with you absolutely. There the Mahomes

698
00:32:11,360 --> 00:32:15,800
Speaker 3: things interesting. Now you having Trevor Lawrence ahead of him,

699
00:32:15,840 --> 00:32:18,720
Speaker 3: that's too far. It's crazy. Trevor Lawrence has played great

700
00:32:18,720 --> 00:32:20,800
Speaker 3: the last two weeks, but to me, the rest of

701
00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:23,560
Speaker 3: the season outweighs significantly from home. So do you have

702
00:32:23,640 --> 00:32:25,959
Speaker 3: out eleven because everyone else in your top ten night

703
00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:30,400
Speaker 3: I actually would not have any problem with their You

704
00:32:30,520 --> 00:32:33,760
Speaker 3: have Darnald Love who is maybe an MVP candidate, Herbert

705
00:32:34,880 --> 00:32:39,160
Speaker 3: and Jared Goff, Josh Allen May and Stafford is still

706
00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:43,560
Speaker 3: a top your rankings. It's just crazy because when you

707
00:32:43,640 --> 00:32:48,600
Speaker 3: think about like Breeze and Manning, maybe Breeze had like

708
00:32:48,720 --> 00:32:51,400
Speaker 3: one season, but especially the Peyton Manning and the Tom

709
00:32:51,440 --> 00:32:53,680
Speaker 3: Brazy Brady's of it all, there were no seasons where

710
00:32:54,560 --> 00:32:55,920
Speaker 3: at the end of the season you could say he

711
00:32:56,040 --> 00:32:58,160
Speaker 3: was not a top eight quarterback. And I'm not sure

712
00:32:58,160 --> 00:32:59,720
Speaker 3: if I'm ready to go there. With Mahomes, we have

713
00:32:59,760 --> 00:33:05,040
Speaker 3: another month ago the Chiefs though at fifteen wild well,

714
00:33:05,080 --> 00:33:06,880
Speaker 3: we have the Cowboys ahead of them. Of course they

715
00:33:06,960 --> 00:33:09,320
Speaker 3: won that game head to head. We have the Eagles

716
00:33:09,520 --> 00:33:13,200
Speaker 3: now at thirteen, which I think feels right to me

717
00:33:13,320 --> 00:33:16,320
Speaker 3: this section forty nine Ers at nine, we like the

718
00:33:16,440 --> 00:33:20,600
Speaker 3: forty nine ers on NFL Daily, Chargers at ten, Bears eleven,

719
00:33:20,800 --> 00:33:24,080
Speaker 3: Jaguars twelve, and Eagles thirteen. It's really interesting because I

720
00:33:24,120 --> 00:33:26,520
Speaker 3: think this is a group of teams where if you

721
00:33:26,640 --> 00:33:29,720
Speaker 3: told their fan bases right now, you're going to win

722
00:33:29,800 --> 00:33:33,520
Speaker 3: a playoff game. They'd say, Okay, I'd take it. That's

723
00:33:33,560 --> 00:33:36,320
Speaker 3: pretty good. Like we're in the final eight, we're in

724
00:33:36,400 --> 00:33:39,080
Speaker 3: the division round. Like that alone would be a good

725
00:33:39,160 --> 00:33:42,440
Speaker 3: outcome for this Philadelphia Eagles team, which really shows how

726
00:33:42,480 --> 00:33:43,160
Speaker 3: far they've fallen.

727
00:33:43,520 --> 00:33:45,480
Speaker 4: It'd be a good outcome for the Bears. It'd be

728
00:33:45,480 --> 00:33:48,040
Speaker 4: a good outcome for the Jags. It might even be

729
00:33:48,120 --> 00:33:49,640
Speaker 4: at this point a good outcome for the Chargers.

730
00:33:49,680 --> 00:33:53,240
Speaker 3: But oh yeah, get get the playoff monkey off. Herbert's

731
00:33:53,320 --> 00:33:55,880
Speaker 3: back to me. That would be like when Lamar won

732
00:33:55,960 --> 00:33:58,000
Speaker 3: his first playoff game. Just at least get one in,

733
00:33:58,600 --> 00:34:01,120
Speaker 3: and especially a season with you don't have your two tackles,

734
00:34:01,280 --> 00:34:02,400
Speaker 3: I think they would be fantastic.

735
00:34:02,680 --> 00:34:04,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, But to answer your question about who was at eleven,

736
00:34:04,600 --> 00:34:06,360
Speaker 5: it was brock Purty who was on a buy, which

737
00:34:06,400 --> 00:34:08,279
Speaker 5: is why I couldn't really justify moving him around us.

738
00:34:08,400 --> 00:34:10,960
Speaker 5: Now that's on second examination, I probably would have put

739
00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:14,080
Speaker 5: Mahomes at eleven perty at twelve. You know, now that

740
00:34:14,120 --> 00:34:16,160
Speaker 5: I've had a chance to reflect after firing it off.

741
00:34:16,280 --> 00:34:19,400
Speaker 5: But the Niners standing in the power rankings kind of

742
00:34:19,480 --> 00:34:23,920
Speaker 5: justifies it. Like they've pieced together their defense, and yes,

743
00:34:23,960 --> 00:34:26,040
Speaker 5: they don't have a pass rush, but they've performed well

744
00:34:26,120 --> 00:34:29,160
Speaker 5: enough to limit, you know, the Panthers and Bryce Young

745
00:34:29,200 --> 00:34:32,080
Speaker 5: to a nightmarish performance in prime time, and they continue

746
00:34:32,120 --> 00:34:34,440
Speaker 5: to win games. And party's most recent game, which is

747
00:34:34,480 --> 00:34:36,600
Speaker 5: a win over the Browns. The numbers don't reflect it,

748
00:34:36,640 --> 00:34:38,440
Speaker 5: but he made some throws in that game where I

749
00:34:38,560 --> 00:34:39,520
Speaker 5: was just like, he's back.

750
00:34:39,680 --> 00:34:40,600
Speaker 4: That's who he is.

751
00:34:40,640 --> 00:34:42,040
Speaker 5: It's a little bit out of structure, it's a little

752
00:34:42,040 --> 00:34:44,960
Speaker 5: bit off platform. He's converting key downs. That is who

753
00:34:45,040 --> 00:34:46,920
Speaker 5: Brock Purty is. And I think that he's headed in

754
00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:49,080
Speaker 5: the right direction after looking pretty rough the week before

755
00:34:49,120 --> 00:34:51,680
Speaker 5: with all those interceptions against the Panthers. So that's part

756
00:34:51,680 --> 00:34:53,239
Speaker 5: of why I put him there, and I think again

757
00:34:53,280 --> 00:34:54,880
Speaker 5: it's a big reason why we have the Niners at

758
00:34:54,960 --> 00:34:57,680
Speaker 5: nine because despite all these injuries, they continue to find

759
00:34:57,719 --> 00:35:00,400
Speaker 5: ways to win football games because they're just disa they

760
00:35:00,920 --> 00:35:02,719
Speaker 5: show good fundamentals, they execute well.

761
00:35:03,080 --> 00:35:06,160
Speaker 4: Kyle Shanahan man a legit candidate for Coach of the Year.

762
00:35:07,080 --> 00:35:09,160
Speaker 3: Man, I'm always putting Chuck on a hot seat with

763
00:35:09,200 --> 00:35:13,319
Speaker 3: these quarterback rankings. That was Quarterback Keeper presented by Snapdragon.

764
00:35:13,440 --> 00:35:17,160
Speaker 3: Learn more at snapdragon dot com slash laptops. Let's wrap

765
00:35:17,239 --> 00:35:19,680
Speaker 3: the show with our top eight in the power rankings.

766
00:35:20,080 --> 00:35:22,440
Speaker 3: This was an interesting exercise to think about the Lions

767
00:35:22,480 --> 00:35:26,040
Speaker 3: for me because in the end I had the lines

768
00:35:26,040 --> 00:35:28,040
Speaker 3: a little higher than you, like, I still had the

769
00:35:28,120 --> 00:35:32,120
Speaker 3: Lions over a lot of the AFC playoff teams, and

770
00:35:32,239 --> 00:35:34,880
Speaker 3: you realize, like man, even though the Lions have a

771
00:35:34,960 --> 00:35:37,600
Speaker 3: lot of issues, like a lot of these teams, I'd

772
00:35:37,680 --> 00:35:39,840
Speaker 3: throw the forty nine ers in here too. If you

773
00:35:39,920 --> 00:35:42,719
Speaker 3: put them in the AFC, they got a shot. Like

774
00:35:43,640 --> 00:35:46,839
Speaker 3: even the down Lions team like we saw, they can

775
00:35:47,200 --> 00:35:49,920
Speaker 3: put forty on a decent team like the Cowboys. So

776
00:35:50,160 --> 00:35:52,520
Speaker 3: at eight, but like man, if you're a Lions fan

777
00:35:53,120 --> 00:35:55,160
Speaker 3: in a down season, we think you're the eighth best

778
00:35:55,160 --> 00:35:57,480
Speaker 3: team in the league. In Week fifteen, that's not so bad.

779
00:35:57,640 --> 00:36:00,480
Speaker 3: We have the Patriots down at seven, probably low than

780
00:36:00,520 --> 00:36:02,200
Speaker 3: a lot of places do, although they were tied with

781
00:36:02,280 --> 00:36:05,560
Speaker 3: the Broncos, so ultimately those two were tied for six,

782
00:36:05,760 --> 00:36:10,040
Speaker 3: and then the Bills and the Texans tied at fourth.

783
00:36:10,520 --> 00:36:12,960
Speaker 3: I separated and went with my rankings, had the Bills

784
00:36:12,960 --> 00:36:15,399
Speaker 3: ahead of the Texans, but we basically had them flip

785
00:36:15,440 --> 00:36:17,800
Speaker 3: flopped in very close to each other, and then we

786
00:36:17,880 --> 00:36:21,960
Speaker 3: had the exact same one two, three, Rams, Seahawks, and Packers.

787
00:36:22,200 --> 00:36:25,160
Speaker 3: Let's actually just talk about the Bills and the Texans.

788
00:36:26,600 --> 00:36:30,200
Speaker 3: I'll talk for myself first. I thought these top four

789
00:36:30,280 --> 00:36:33,719
Speaker 3: teams in the AFC stood apart a little and they

790
00:36:33,880 --> 00:36:37,719
Speaker 3: basically were all in the same group. Bills, Texans, Broncos, Patriots.

791
00:36:37,800 --> 00:36:42,160
Speaker 3: That actually was my order shook. How did you feel

792
00:36:42,200 --> 00:36:45,560
Speaker 3: like you were separating these teams? And how crazy is

793
00:36:45,640 --> 00:36:48,920
Speaker 3: it that this Texans team I think was first for

794
00:36:49,000 --> 00:36:49,800
Speaker 3: you in the AFC.

795
00:36:50,360 --> 00:36:50,600
Speaker 1: Yeah?

796
00:36:51,120 --> 00:36:52,920
Speaker 5: No, actually know who was first being the AFC. I'm

797
00:36:52,920 --> 00:36:56,200
Speaker 5: gonna ing you for this since you're you know, Massachusetts guy.

798
00:36:56,640 --> 00:36:59,400
Speaker 5: I had the Patriots four, ok. I was shocked that

799
00:36:59,560 --> 00:37:01,920
Speaker 5: your rank dropped them all the way to seventh. But hey,

800
00:37:02,160 --> 00:37:05,719
Speaker 5: maybe I'm the homer here. It's tough to I kind

801
00:37:05,719 --> 00:37:07,960
Speaker 5: of wanted to give them credit for what they've accomplished.

802
00:37:08,200 --> 00:37:12,719
Speaker 5: I didn't necessarily and rightfully evaluated it as like, all right,

803
00:37:12,760 --> 00:37:14,400
Speaker 5: let's put them on a neutral field who I think

804
00:37:14,480 --> 00:37:17,040
Speaker 5: is going to win? Because that's what drove the rest

805
00:37:17,120 --> 00:37:20,080
Speaker 5: of my evaluation here with the Bills and the Texans.

806
00:37:19,760 --> 00:37:20,320
Speaker 4: And the Broncos.

807
00:37:20,360 --> 00:37:22,880
Speaker 5: The Bills are looking about the best that they have

808
00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:25,520
Speaker 5: all year. I think that every team in this group

809
00:37:25,680 --> 00:37:27,520
Speaker 5: is flawed in one way or another, but I do

810
00:37:27,760 --> 00:37:30,040
Speaker 5: like the momentum that they're building and the direction they're

811
00:37:30,080 --> 00:37:32,319
Speaker 5: headed in. Obviously it starts with Josh Allen, but I've

812
00:37:32,320 --> 00:37:35,000
Speaker 5: seen some interesting performances from their defense.

813
00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:37,040
Speaker 4: They've been opportunistic, like they were against the Bengals.

814
00:37:37,080 --> 00:37:39,440
Speaker 5: They absolutely shut down the Chiefs and they played them,

815
00:37:39,560 --> 00:37:42,920
Speaker 5: so they've had some good performances. The Texans have the

816
00:37:42,960 --> 00:37:44,600
Speaker 5: best defense in the NFL, and I think that will

817
00:37:44,680 --> 00:37:47,279
Speaker 5: travel and could beat anybody on any given day. The

818
00:37:47,360 --> 00:37:49,319
Speaker 5: Broncos are a team that I think is also headed

819
00:37:49,360 --> 00:37:51,319
Speaker 5: in the right direction. Bo Nix has encouraged me over

820
00:37:51,320 --> 00:37:53,040
Speaker 5: the last few weeks, but I do see some flaws

821
00:37:53,040 --> 00:37:55,040
Speaker 5: in them, namely in their running game, leaning too much

822
00:37:55,080 --> 00:37:57,920
Speaker 5: on our J Harvey, who's a rookie. And I know

823
00:37:58,000 --> 00:37:59,520
Speaker 5: that they have a good defense, but I have a

824
00:37:59,640 --> 00:38:03,640
Speaker 5: little bit of nervousness. I can't quite it's some trepidation.

825
00:38:03,760 --> 00:38:08,200
Speaker 5: I can't quite trust them in certain scenarios against other teams.

826
00:38:08,280 --> 00:38:10,360
Speaker 4: But I still like the makeup of their team overall.

827
00:38:10,360 --> 00:38:11,520
Speaker 4: So that's why they land where they are.

828
00:38:11,840 --> 00:38:14,200
Speaker 5: Patriots more than anything, Like I said, just rewarding them

829
00:38:14,239 --> 00:38:16,239
Speaker 5: for what they've done, and also all the faith in

830
00:38:16,280 --> 00:38:20,000
Speaker 5: the world and none other than mister Drake May of course.

831
00:38:20,200 --> 00:38:22,239
Speaker 3: And to me, they're all very close. And if the

832
00:38:22,280 --> 00:38:26,279
Speaker 3: Patriots win this Sunday, obviously they'll be even higher on

833
00:38:26,400 --> 00:38:29,239
Speaker 3: a list like this. To me, you can't separate the much.

834
00:38:29,320 --> 00:38:32,240
Speaker 3: But I really think this whole Texans to the super

835
00:38:32,320 --> 00:38:35,759
Speaker 3: Bowl bandwagon is gonna get a lot of people on

836
00:38:35,920 --> 00:38:39,200
Speaker 3: it over the next month because they have the Cardinals

837
00:38:39,239 --> 00:38:42,520
Speaker 3: and the Raiders next, they have the Chargers offensive line

838
00:38:42,760 --> 00:38:44,680
Speaker 3: on the road. That's by far their hardest game of

839
00:38:44,719 --> 00:38:47,359
Speaker 3: the season left. That's actually an NFL Network exclusive game.

840
00:38:47,400 --> 00:38:49,600
Speaker 3: We have one more game this season that's a Saturday

841
00:38:50,120 --> 00:38:53,359
Speaker 3: afternoon game, and it's gonna be really interesting, and they

842
00:38:53,440 --> 00:38:58,880
Speaker 3: finish up with the phillip Rivers Colts. They are not

843
00:38:59,000 --> 00:39:00,960
Speaker 3: going to lose two more games the rest of the season.

844
00:39:01,080 --> 00:39:03,280
Speaker 3: They are gonna get to eleven and six at worst,

845
00:39:03,400 --> 00:39:06,040
Speaker 3: and there's a pretty decent chance they win all four

846
00:39:06,080 --> 00:39:08,560
Speaker 3: of those games. You know, it's tough to win every

847
00:39:08,560 --> 00:39:10,600
Speaker 3: week in the NFL, so you know, I could see

848
00:39:10,640 --> 00:39:13,600
Speaker 3: a surprise, but there's a real scenario they win that division,

849
00:39:13,960 --> 00:39:16,360
Speaker 3: that they are the two or the three seed, and

850
00:39:16,480 --> 00:39:18,880
Speaker 3: a lot of people are looking at that defense is

851
00:39:18,880 --> 00:39:21,320
Speaker 3: the best thing going in the AFC going into the playoffs.

852
00:39:21,800 --> 00:39:25,000
Speaker 3: Let's wrap just going over we agreed. I think it's

853
00:39:25,000 --> 00:39:28,399
Speaker 3: a pretty clear top three, Rams, Seahawks, Patriots. I really

854
00:39:28,480 --> 00:39:31,000
Speaker 3: think Seahawks are getting slept on a little bit nationally

855
00:39:31,080 --> 00:39:34,680
Speaker 3: as like right there with the Rams and I haven't

856
00:39:34,840 --> 00:39:37,400
Speaker 3: over the Packers, So did you as like maybe the

857
00:39:37,440 --> 00:39:38,920
Speaker 3: best team in the NFL. I know, we got to

858
00:39:38,960 --> 00:39:41,759
Speaker 3: see it with Darnold and everything, but we don't have

859
00:39:41,880 --> 00:39:45,160
Speaker 3: superpower teams this year. I think the Rams are the

860
00:39:45,239 --> 00:39:48,279
Speaker 3: closest to it, and they have a chance to really

861
00:39:48,400 --> 00:39:51,640
Speaker 3: prove it over the next six days here by beating

862
00:39:52,360 --> 00:39:55,200
Speaker 3: the Lions and the Seahawks. If they can do that,

863
00:39:55,480 --> 00:39:58,560
Speaker 3: they can enter the playoffs as a real deal, like

864
00:39:58,760 --> 00:40:00,960
Speaker 3: super favorite. Other than that, yeah, I think these three

865
00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:02,640
Speaker 3: teams are going to kind of be the teams going

866
00:40:02,680 --> 00:40:04,000
Speaker 3: into the NFC playoffs.

867
00:40:04,120 --> 00:40:06,000
Speaker 5: They're going to beat the Lions just because I think

868
00:40:06,040 --> 00:40:08,239
Speaker 5: the Lions limitations are going to prevent them from keeping

869
00:40:08,280 --> 00:40:10,440
Speaker 5: up with the Rams. That Seahawks game is going to

870
00:40:10,480 --> 00:40:13,520
Speaker 5: tell us a lot about these two teams. It is

871
00:40:13,560 --> 00:40:15,560
Speaker 5: a bummer that I think the best two or three

872
00:40:15,600 --> 00:40:17,840
Speaker 5: teams in the NFL all reside in the same conference.

873
00:40:18,120 --> 00:40:20,279
Speaker 5: But it's not the first time that we've been here. However, Greg,

874
00:40:20,320 --> 00:40:23,080
Speaker 5: I would like you to enlighten the listeners and the viewers.

875
00:40:23,440 --> 00:40:25,120
Speaker 5: What was the text that I sent to you around

876
00:40:25,160 --> 00:40:27,240
Speaker 5: midnight Eastern on Tuesday going into Wednesday?

877
00:40:28,600 --> 00:40:31,200
Speaker 3: You told me the Rams are going to win the

878
00:40:31,239 --> 00:40:35,640
Speaker 3: Super Bowl in some form or fashion. Yeah, I can't

879
00:40:35,680 --> 00:40:37,960
Speaker 3: remember the exact words, but that was the takeaway.

880
00:40:38,239 --> 00:40:41,359
Speaker 5: I believe I might have ended with book it. That's

881
00:40:41,360 --> 00:40:43,360
Speaker 5: how confident I am in the Rams right now. In

882
00:40:43,480 --> 00:40:45,560
Speaker 5: a year in which every team is flawed top to

883
00:40:45,640 --> 00:40:47,879
Speaker 5: bottom in one way or another, there is, like you said,

884
00:40:47,960 --> 00:40:50,319
Speaker 5: no more complete team than the Los Angeles Rams. And yes,

885
00:40:50,400 --> 00:40:53,240
Speaker 5: I was watching them take the Cardinals behind the woodshed,

886
00:40:53,360 --> 00:40:55,920
Speaker 5: and that you know doesn't it's not a measuring stick game,

887
00:40:56,200 --> 00:40:58,560
Speaker 5: but it was one of those games where you saw

888
00:40:58,719 --> 00:41:02,040
Speaker 5: elite passing from Matsthugh Stafford. You saw an incredible rapport

889
00:41:02,400 --> 00:41:04,960
Speaker 5: between him and Pukaakua and him and DeVante Adams, and

890
00:41:05,360 --> 00:41:06,799
Speaker 5: you know, even the tight end group because they love

891
00:41:06,800 --> 00:41:08,879
Speaker 5: to ruin that thirteen personnel, which we know Jordan loves

892
00:41:08,920 --> 00:41:11,759
Speaker 5: to talk about and for good reason, because it makes

893
00:41:11,800 --> 00:41:14,600
Speaker 5: them so multiple and they're hard to defend. But as

894
00:41:14,640 --> 00:41:17,680
Speaker 5: a team, top to bottom, front to back, defense, offense,

895
00:41:18,520 --> 00:41:20,439
Speaker 5: special teams had a little bit of issue with kicker.

896
00:41:21,080 --> 00:41:24,120
Speaker 5: They just look like the strongest contender to win the

897
00:41:24,200 --> 00:41:26,440
Speaker 5: Super Bowl. It is not a situation in which I

898
00:41:26,440 --> 00:41:28,520
Speaker 5: think back to the twenty sixteen Falcons. Late in the

899
00:41:28,520 --> 00:41:30,840
Speaker 5: regular season, I was confident they were going to win

900
00:41:30,880 --> 00:41:32,680
Speaker 5: the NFC, and they did, and Matt Ryan was going

901
00:41:32,719 --> 00:41:34,759
Speaker 5: to win MVP, and he did, and ultimately they lost

902
00:41:34,840 --> 00:41:35,399
Speaker 5: that Super Bowl.

903
00:41:35,680 --> 00:41:36,960
Speaker 4: But they're not quite there.

904
00:41:37,000 --> 00:41:38,320
Speaker 5: But they're about as close as you can get in

905
00:41:38,400 --> 00:41:40,160
Speaker 5: this league right now to a team that gives me

906
00:41:40,239 --> 00:41:42,279
Speaker 5: that much confidence because they have the quarterback. They have

907
00:41:42,320 --> 00:41:44,600
Speaker 5: an explosive, dynamic running back in Kiraun Williams. They got

908
00:41:44,600 --> 00:41:45,960
Speaker 5: a good spell back in Blake Corum. They have an

909
00:41:46,000 --> 00:41:48,680
Speaker 5: offensive line that is absolutely dominating in the trenches. They

910
00:41:48,719 --> 00:41:51,160
Speaker 5: have talented pass catchers, they have a defense that's highly

911
00:41:51,280 --> 00:41:53,920
Speaker 5: underrated and can win the trenches as well, and all

912
00:41:54,000 --> 00:41:56,560
Speaker 5: of that combined can travel and win anywhere home on

913
00:41:56,640 --> 00:41:58,320
Speaker 5: the road, and as it stands right now, they're not

914
00:41:58,360 --> 00:41:59,839
Speaker 5: going to have to go on the road as long

915
00:41:59,880 --> 00:42:02,000
Speaker 5: as they beat the Seahawks in that Thursday night or

916
00:42:02,080 --> 00:42:03,520
Speaker 5: next week, that will be tough.

917
00:42:03,600 --> 00:42:05,800
Speaker 3: We're gonna go live on YouTube next week for the

918
00:42:05,880 --> 00:42:10,880
Speaker 3: first time on Thursday Night. I think Jordan Rodriguez joining

919
00:42:10,920 --> 00:42:13,759
Speaker 3: me for that one. Shooky's got the night off, so

920
00:42:13,840 --> 00:42:16,480
Speaker 3: that's gonna be fun. Join us live. We're gonna do

921
00:42:16,520 --> 00:42:19,640
Speaker 3: something different because that's just a fun game. It matched

922
00:42:19,680 --> 00:42:22,840
Speaker 3: up schedule wise. Let's hit that music. Thank you, Shook

923
00:42:22,920 --> 00:42:25,560
Speaker 3: big week. Chuck's not done. He's gonna be back on Saturday.

924
00:42:25,680 --> 00:42:28,600
Speaker 3: We're doing the All Underrated Defense with the Ali Connelly.

925
00:42:28,719 --> 00:42:31,919
Speaker 3: But before that, we got a special treat in the feed.

926
00:42:32,600 --> 00:42:35,040
Speaker 3: We've mentioned it all week. I hope everyone can check

927
00:42:35,080 --> 00:42:39,640
Speaker 3: it out. Power Players with Jordan rod Reeg a new

928
00:42:39,760 --> 00:42:42,360
Speaker 3: series that we're doing that goes up on Friday. We

929
00:42:42,480 --> 00:42:43,000
Speaker 3: will see that
