Speaker 1: Welcome back to the Richard Sherman Podcast. I got to

15
00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:53,040
Speaker 1: my guy niche eyes and this sign my goodness, Mitchell,

16
00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:58,320
Speaker 1: upsets are not I think it's I don't think it

17
00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:00,680
Speaker 1: is upsets, rich I think this is really reality. I

18
00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:04,520
Speaker 1: think we're facing reality and uh, we're far enough along

19
00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:08,240
Speaker 1: in the season. Some teams are battling adversity with injuries.

20
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:12,679
Speaker 1: You see the Niners, you know, battling adversity with injuries. Um,

21
00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:15,120
Speaker 1: but I think the cream is starting to rise to

22
00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:18,520
Speaker 1: the top here, Rich, Let's start in Buffalo. You know

23
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:21,080
Speaker 1: a team that is Uh. I've been playing at a

24
00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:23,960
Speaker 1: high level all season against your your favorites. I know

25
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:26,720
Speaker 1: you love the Jets, Um, but they just couldn't get

26
00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:28,680
Speaker 1: it done today. Rich, just talk to me about about

27
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:32,399
Speaker 1: that game. It was interesting. It was back and forth. Um.

28
00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:34,440
Speaker 1: You know, some of the most pivotal players came. Mike

29
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:36,440
Speaker 1: White was out of the game. You know. Obviously Flaco

30
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:40,040
Speaker 1: had a a fumble um that gave Buffalo the ball

31
00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:42,280
Speaker 1: and Jets territory. That was a huge playing the ball

32
00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:45,919
Speaker 1: game and uh, just some uncharacteristic mistakes by the defense.

33
00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:48,360
Speaker 1: But Buffalo played well the conditions. It was cold. It

34
00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:51,200
Speaker 1: was a cold game. But the Jets still holding on

35
00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:53,520
Speaker 1: to the final playoffs spout. They still have hope. They're

36
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:55,440
Speaker 1: gonna They're gonna be all right. Mike White, you know,

37
00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:56,880
Speaker 1: I had to go to the hospital. They thought his

38
00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:59,240
Speaker 1: rib was broken, but he board the team playing, so

39
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:02,600
Speaker 1: that's positive news for them. Zonovit Nite is still having

40
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:04,840
Speaker 1: a really good season. I mean he was he was

41
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:07,000
Speaker 1: a nobody, was a no name, you know, going in

42
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:08,799
Speaker 1: and now he's a really important part of their offense.

43
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:11,679
Speaker 1: Quinnin Williams two sacks eleven on the season from the

44
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:13,919
Speaker 1: d tackle position. You'd be talking about defense player of

45
00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:15,920
Speaker 1: the year and the other season. But they you know,

46
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:18,360
Speaker 1: he obviously went out with with a with a calf injury,

47
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:21,400
Speaker 1: hopefully nothing too serious. But Josh Allen held six team

48
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:26,200
Speaker 1: for seven a touchdown, Tin Rush's forty seven uh, Greg

49
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:29,680
Speaker 1: Russo two sacks. It was a winnable game, but you know,

50
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:33,960
Speaker 1: that's how division games are. They're greedy, they're grimy, um,

51
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:36,760
Speaker 1: you know, and it's on to the next But I

52
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:38,800
Speaker 1: think it was. It still shows good hope, you know,

53
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:42,160
Speaker 1: it still shows positive things for both teams. Obviously Buffalo

54
00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:45,200
Speaker 1: four straight wins, they're feeling good about themselves. But I'm

55
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:48,119
Speaker 1: just trying to figure out, Mitchell, how do your Detroit

56
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:52,080
Speaker 1: Lions beat the Minnesota Vikings. I was waiting for this day, Rich,

57
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:55,880
Speaker 1: I have been waiting a long time. I'm rocking the

58
00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 1: Honolulu Blue. I got a Detroit Lion uh shirt on.

59
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:03,839
Speaker 1: I don't know did it take to dust that thing off?

60
00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:06,280
Speaker 1: Man dude, I had to wash it twice. Man, It's

61
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:09,280
Speaker 1: been sitting there for so long. But I mean, god,

62
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:12,600
Speaker 1: bless it. They look good. Rich. I mean all week long.

63
00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:15,800
Speaker 1: You know we're hearing about it. They make national news.

64
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:17,960
Speaker 1: Is one of the first five and seven teams to

65
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:22,400
Speaker 1: be a favorite against a tenant to my Minnesota Vikings team.

66
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:25,040
Speaker 1: I mean, going in two point favorites. I saw they

67
00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:28,400
Speaker 1: were two and a half point favorites before kickoff, and

68
00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:31,600
Speaker 1: they showed why right out the gates. I mean, dude,

69
00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:34,960
Speaker 1: this team is getting their healthy rich, which I think

70
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:38,320
Speaker 1: is is probably the most vital thing, right. I mean,

71
00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:41,800
Speaker 1: this team. They got Jamison Williams back, quick hit touchdown,

72
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:45,120
Speaker 1: first touchdown of the game. I'm excited, man, But I'm

73
00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:47,360
Speaker 1: more excited to hear while you have to say about him,

74
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:50,600
Speaker 1: because I've been drinking the kool for far too long. Well,

75
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:53,560
Speaker 1: Mitchell Well Metell Alliance offense has been fun all season.

76
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:55,560
Speaker 1: They've been fun. It would have been really great if

77
00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:57,600
Speaker 1: they could have got some of those one score games

78
00:03:57,600 --> 00:03:59,480
Speaker 1: in one those they seem to not be able to

79
00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:02,400
Speaker 1: pull those out, the Thanksgiving game against Buffalo being the

80
00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:05,839
Speaker 1: most recent. But they've scored twenty five points twenty five

81
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:09,119
Speaker 1: plus in five straight games. That's that's a good offense.

82
00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:11,200
Speaker 1: You know. They they've won five in the last six.

83
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:14,720
Speaker 1: They're rolling. Jared Golf he's looking like a guy. He's

84
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:16,840
Speaker 1: looking like he wants to Detroit to not draft the

85
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:19,520
Speaker 1: quarterback in the first round next year. But will Detroit

86
00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:21,960
Speaker 1: listen to him and think they they're all right and

87
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:24,560
Speaker 1: and go for another position. Who knows, but they're they're

88
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:26,719
Speaker 1: feeling really good about him. And he had twenty seven

89
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:30,320
Speaker 1: or thirty nine for three thirty and three touchdowns, no turnovers.

90
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:33,760
Speaker 1: Um d j. Chart had a really productive game six

91
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:36,920
Speaker 1: nine four, Aiden Hutchinson had a sack and like you said,

92
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:39,280
Speaker 1: Jamison Williams have to touchdown. They look good. But if

93
00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:41,599
Speaker 1: you would have told me before this game that Kirk

94
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:46,640
Speaker 1: Cousins thirty one forty one for five and two touchdowns

95
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:50,279
Speaker 1: no interception. Justin Jefferson has a franchise record eleven catches

96
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:52,120
Speaker 1: for two twenty three. Mitchell, I don't see them losing

97
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:54,719
Speaker 1: that game, and they lost it by double digits, Mitchell,

98
00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:57,640
Speaker 1: What is going on? Are they like they don't want

99
00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:01,719
Speaker 1: to play no defense? Richard? You know, being a Detroit

100
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:04,680
Speaker 1: Lions fan, Another Detroit Lions fan can sympathize with me

101
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:09,240
Speaker 1: on this. The Kirk Cousins stat line is eerily similar

102
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:12,440
Speaker 1: to what Matt Stafford used to put up in Detroit, Right,

103
00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:17,120
Speaker 1: These these gaudy Madden liked numbers in double jugit losses.

104
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:20,800
Speaker 1: You know, the Lions got ahead, they put pressure on

105
00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:24,320
Speaker 1: the Vikings. The Vikings were playing behind all day, you know,

106
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:26,600
Speaker 1: and Kirk Cousins just had to sling the rock to

107
00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:29,160
Speaker 1: try to play catch up. And guess what happens when

108
00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:32,039
Speaker 1: you do that, rich You put up these fantastic numbers

109
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:34,000
Speaker 1: that if someone didn't watch the game to think, how

110
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:36,680
Speaker 1: the heck does the team not win with that stat line?

111
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:41,560
Speaker 1: It's because the Detroit Lions played aggressive all game and

112
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:45,240
Speaker 1: they put their foot on the Vikings neck. This is

113
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:47,800
Speaker 1: what Dan Campbell has been preaching all season long. But

114
00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:50,640
Speaker 1: he's doing it smart now, right. I Mean it was

115
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:53,120
Speaker 1: a little risky, you know, going forward on fourth downd

116
00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:55,400
Speaker 1: from your own twenty six on a fake punt, but

117
00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:57,560
Speaker 1: that sealed the game. I mean, he's not doing these

118
00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:00,600
Speaker 1: crazy fourth and five, you know, in versions that he

119
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:02,760
Speaker 1: was doing earlier in the season. He's playing to his

120
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:06,000
Speaker 1: team strengths. And that's you know, controlling the clock, you know,

121
00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:08,559
Speaker 1: running the football, taking her deep shots. I mean, Jared

122
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:10,880
Speaker 1: Goff is something I never thought he would be, and

123
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:13,919
Speaker 1: that's a very capable quarterback. And I think the Lions

124
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:15,960
Speaker 1: just might have to extend him rich I never ever,

125
00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:18,800
Speaker 1: ever thought I would be saying that, Mitchell. They may

126
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:21,160
Speaker 1: have to. And they can continue to build their defense up,

127
00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:25,159
Speaker 1: maybe get another pass rusher in the draft, because offensively

128
00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:27,000
Speaker 1: they look good. They look like they have the pieces.

129
00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:30,840
Speaker 1: They'll continue to mature, they'll continue to to to get better,

130
00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:33,440
Speaker 1: and you know, you gotta feel good about Dan Campbell. Obviously,

131
00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:35,600
Speaker 1: the season started really really rocky. People were calling for

132
00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:38,200
Speaker 1: his job and things have even doubt. But then you

133
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:41,480
Speaker 1: got the Kansas City Chiefs in the Denver Broncos just

134
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:45,159
Speaker 1: looked like a route Mitchell, and then it was Yeah,

135
00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:48,320
Speaker 1: we were texting throughout the game and it was got

136
00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:51,440
Speaker 1: away quick and Dever put themselves in that hole. It

137
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:54,720
Speaker 1: was something that we talked about last week. I mean,

138
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:57,440
Speaker 1: you come out slow against his Kansas City Chiefs team

139
00:06:57,520 --> 00:06:59,840
Speaker 1: and and people are gonna laugh you right off the field,

140
00:06:59,880 --> 00:07:02,480
Speaker 1: and we saw some of those emotions starting to boil over.

141
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:04,800
Speaker 1: I mean Jerry Judy was it was going nuts. I

142
00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:06,680
Speaker 1: thought he should have gotten kicked out of the game.

143
00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:10,600
Speaker 1: Frankly for content gonna get some mail. I'm sure he will.

144
00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:12,560
Speaker 1: I'm surprised he didn't get kicked out of the game,

145
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:14,800
Speaker 1: but it's a good thing he didn't. Having three touchdowns

146
00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:18,480
Speaker 1: on the game after that. But you know, rich this

147
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:20,800
Speaker 1: just goes to show you what what Brown has been

148
00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:23,080
Speaker 1: dealing with all season. They just can't seem to figure

149
00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:24,680
Speaker 1: it out. It's great that they put twenty eight on

150
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:26,920
Speaker 1: the board today, but in a losing effort. I mean,

151
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:29,120
Speaker 1: I mean, you gotta give him credit. They got better.

152
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:31,280
Speaker 1: You know, this is the time where most teams would

153
00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:34,320
Speaker 1: fold against the team like that down. Oh, you would

154
00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:36,800
Speaker 1: think a team gives up Russell Wilson. You you're praying

155
00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:39,240
Speaker 1: for his health. You know, went down with with an

156
00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:42,520
Speaker 1: obvious concussion, uh and you know it looked really severe.

157
00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:44,400
Speaker 1: But before that, he was playing his best game of

158
00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:48,200
Speaker 1: the season. Um through for two seven two touchdowns, four

159
00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:51,520
Speaker 1: rushes for fifty seven touchdowns you I mean fifty seven yards.

160
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:54,440
Speaker 1: That's that's something we hadn't seen earlier in the season.

161
00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:56,600
Speaker 1: And that was him, you know, taking control and that's

162
00:07:56,680 --> 00:07:59,160
Speaker 1: him showing his team he's all in, um. Jerry Judy,

163
00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:02,800
Speaker 1: Like you said, three received receiving touchdowns, Josie Jewel, two

164
00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:06,960
Speaker 1: interceptions that Patrick Sir tan the second PS two finally

165
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:09,960
Speaker 1: got him a book. He's he's he's on the board. Um.

166
00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:13,240
Speaker 1: And that's that's concerned for the Kansas City Chiefs because

167
00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:15,960
Speaker 1: they collapsed a bit in the second half. You know,

168
00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:19,320
Speaker 1: they were up and then the next twenty one points

169
00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:22,960
Speaker 1: go to the Denver Broncos and three interceptions for Patrick Mahomes,

170
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:26,080
Speaker 1: Like that's uncharacteristic, especially at this time of the year.

171
00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:29,000
Speaker 1: Jerick McKinnon had a really great game. Everybody's gonna see

172
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:32,000
Speaker 1: the highlight where Pat Mahomes just tosses it up blindly

173
00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:35,520
Speaker 1: and Jerick McKinnon takes it for the long touchdown. But

174
00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:38,760
Speaker 1: you but you're concerned because it's still reckless ball. You know,

175
00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:41,839
Speaker 1: he's getting away with it, he's he's he's not getting

176
00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:44,559
Speaker 1: away with it at times. But you're concerned when when

177
00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:49,200
Speaker 1: that defense gives up twenty one unanswered points, the offense

178
00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:51,520
Speaker 1: kind of gets stagnant in the second half. But again,

179
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:54,760
Speaker 1: the Broncos have lost fourteen straight to the Kansas City Chiefs.

180
00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:58,080
Speaker 1: So apparently as nothing has changed. Travis Kelsey ten thousand

181
00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:01,800
Speaker 1: career yards, you know, for a tidy in fewest fewest

182
00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:03,640
Speaker 1: games to reach it by a tight end, obviously been

183
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:06,439
Speaker 1: bolding for a long time. But again we're praying for

184
00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:11,439
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson's health. What what what what? Seattle just getting

185
00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:15,960
Speaker 1: not stop the run? Like good night, Mitchell, We're gonna

186
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:19,360
Speaker 1: move to Seattle quickly here, Rich, I hate to say,

187
00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:21,520
Speaker 1: I kind of saw this coming. I mean again, we

188
00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:24,280
Speaker 1: kind of go back to this being that point in

189
00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:28,640
Speaker 1: the season where we look at teams that are potentially fraudulent.

190
00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:31,079
Speaker 1: I don't want to call Seattle fraud I like their team,

191
00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:35,240
Speaker 1: I don't. They have and they're battling injuries, but they

192
00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:37,880
Speaker 1: were bound to get caught by one of these losses eventually, Rich,

193
00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:40,040
Speaker 1: They've been flirting with it. They flirted with the Rams

194
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:43,280
Speaker 1: last week, and they finally got caught. I mean, talk

195
00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:45,920
Speaker 1: to me, are you nervous with Seattle going down the

196
00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:49,200
Speaker 1: stretch because it's do or die now, Rich, I mean,

197
00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:51,240
Speaker 1: I'm not nervous, but I'm not confident, you know, I

198
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:54,079
Speaker 1: just not confident in the defense. Offensively, they're getting it done.

199
00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:56,520
Speaker 1: They're still scoring points. This is probably Geno's worst game,

200
00:09:56,559 --> 00:09:58,719
Speaker 1: and he's still threw for three touchdowns. He threw those

201
00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:00,559
Speaker 1: two interceptions, one of them he thought it was a

202
00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:04,280
Speaker 1: free play. I think the refs missed one. But his

203
00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:07,040
Speaker 1: receivers are are looking good. You know, sixth straight game

204
00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:09,960
Speaker 1: for Tyler Lockett with a touchdown. Marquis got I mean,

205
00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:12,880
Speaker 1: Markis Goodwin had his best game. Five catches for nine

206
00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:16,199
Speaker 1: yards and a touchdown. Looked really good. He's he's creating

207
00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:18,960
Speaker 1: another avenue for them. But they cannot run the ball.

208
00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:21,960
Speaker 1: They can't run the ball, and they can't stop the run.

209
00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:25,439
Speaker 1: Like that's that's the worst thing you can pretty much have, Mitchell,

210
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:27,319
Speaker 1: you can't you could not be able to run the

211
00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:29,319
Speaker 1: ball and not be able to stop the run. Like

212
00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:33,319
Speaker 1: that's gonna be hard every game. Uh, Carolina rushes for

213
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:36,880
Speaker 1: two and four yards, you know you're talking about every week.

214
00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:39,960
Speaker 1: They're giving up astronomical numbers rushing to football. And then

215
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:42,120
Speaker 1: you have the San Francisco forty Niners coming in on

216
00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:45,240
Speaker 1: a short week and they're gonna run the ball. Christian

217
00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:47,600
Speaker 1: McCaffrey's coming off his best game as the San Francisco

218
00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:49,840
Speaker 1: forty Niners a lot of long runs and they're gonna

219
00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:52,400
Speaker 1: feed him. You already lost for shot Penny. This is

220
00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:55,040
Speaker 1: a game they desperately needed ru shot Penny with Kenneth

221
00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:57,800
Speaker 1: Walker the third being out this game, they lose their

222
00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:01,200
Speaker 1: one to punch Travis Homers and never been that guy.

223
00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:04,640
Speaker 1: You know, pretty much a third down back by nature

224
00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:07,520
Speaker 1: with his game and and he's expected to toe the rock.

225
00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:11,080
Speaker 1: That's they're left in a very tough position. And if

226
00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:13,560
Speaker 1: Canine is not back on Thursday Night Football, it might

227
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:15,920
Speaker 1: be a pretty tough game for him. I mean, the

228
00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:21,600
Speaker 1: Niners looking to get more out of this NFL season, Well,

Speaker 1: at sports book dot com. Problem gambler. Let's talk about

251
00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:34,080
Speaker 1: the Niners real quick, because they look they look different,

252
00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:37,280
Speaker 1: rich and I'm sure you can agree with that. Yeah, Mitchell,

253
00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:41,480
Speaker 1: they look pretty good. Mitchell had too. It's just low

254
00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:44,040
Speaker 1: hanging fruit. I had. Look. They look great. The kid,

255
00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:46,720
Speaker 1: the kid looked great. And then there are people saying

256
00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:49,839
Speaker 1: that Kyle is opening his playbook more for this kid

257
00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:52,800
Speaker 1: than he did for Trade lands In Jimmy Garoppolo, it's

258
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:55,040
Speaker 1: it's a totally different game. He's tossing it up. He

259
00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:58,560
Speaker 1: got Christian and McCaffrey out wide running go routes, tossing

260
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:01,480
Speaker 1: it up to him. He's throwing moves to Brandon Auk

261
00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:03,880
Speaker 1: on the outside. We hadn't seen that all season. Pretty

262
00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:06,920
Speaker 1: much like a little bit underthrowing. But hey, touchdown right

263
00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:09,120
Speaker 1: before the half, We'll take it. And then you watch

264
00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:11,559
Speaker 1: him scram before a touchdown, like that's a dynamic that

265
00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:13,760
Speaker 1: that Jimmy g could not have brought. You know, in

266
00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:16,280
Speaker 1: that situation, you're you're you're looking for a touchdown, and

267
00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:19,280
Speaker 1: he created more time, found the lane, made a guy missed,

268
00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:23,760
Speaker 1: scored a touchdown. The defensively, my goodness, Nicholas john Bosa

269
00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:27,640
Speaker 1: went sackless this game, unfortunately, but they held him scoreless

270
00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:29,280
Speaker 1: in the first half. They gave up a touchdown in

271
00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:32,280
Speaker 1: the second half, but they played phenomenal Drake greenlaw man

272
00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:33,760
Speaker 1: and he looks like an All Pro if it wasn't

273
00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:36,080
Speaker 1: for All Pro Fred, you've been talking about All Pro Dre,

274
00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:39,280
Speaker 1: big play. Dre is making huge plays weekend and week out.

275
00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:43,240
Speaker 1: I mean, dianmador Nor is playing really solid football. Quietly,

276
00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:45,880
Speaker 1: he's been starting for the past couple of games. Uh,

277
00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:48,440
Speaker 1: since hey, you know got banged up, and Eman went

278
00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:51,120
Speaker 1: out and and Brett went out, and you know, we

279
00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:53,719
Speaker 1: gotta figure out what's happening with Dante Johnson because you know,

280
00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:56,040
Speaker 1: their depth is getting kind of kind of slim right now.

281
00:13:56,160 --> 00:14:00,199
Speaker 1: But he's playing really good football. He's aggressive, he's tackling well,

282
00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:03,199
Speaker 1: and it really happened. And your boy Tyler no old Funga,

283
00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:07,520
Speaker 1: Jimmy Ward. Uh, Tasha Gibson had an interception today, a

284
00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:09,760
Speaker 1: big play. You don't see a lot of weaknesses to

285
00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:11,959
Speaker 1: this team. And and Kyle Shanahan. If it wasn't for

286
00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:14,280
Speaker 1: Sirianni and the Eagles going twelve on one right now

287
00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:17,360
Speaker 1: and playing unbelievably, we'll be talking about Kyl Shanahan for

288
00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:18,760
Speaker 1: Coach of the Year being able to get to his

289
00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:22,000
Speaker 1: third string quarterback and and and beat the goat thirty

290
00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:25,280
Speaker 1: five or seven, like nobody are thirty eight seven, Like

291
00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:29,000
Speaker 1: nobody's talking about that. They've had every reason rich to

292
00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:32,360
Speaker 1: just start waving that white flag, you know, every excuse

293
00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:35,280
Speaker 1: in the world, and they just keep rising and rising

294
00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:39,480
Speaker 1: and rising. I mean, this is serious, serious story development

295
00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:42,320
Speaker 1: right in front of our eyes. I mean, Mr irrelevant,

296
00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:45,280
Speaker 1: Rich This guy was drafted with the last pick in

297
00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:49,120
Speaker 1: the draft, and it's now called upon to lead arguably

298
00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:51,360
Speaker 1: the hottest team in the NFL down the stretch. And

299
00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:54,720
Speaker 1: and he's not. And he's not just a passenger on

300
00:14:54,760 --> 00:14:57,440
Speaker 1: the ship. He's slinging the rock like he had three

301
00:14:57,520 --> 00:14:59,720
Speaker 1: touchdowns in the first half. He ran one in, he

302
00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:02,560
Speaker 1: threw for two, scored right before the half. He's playing

303
00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:04,400
Speaker 1: with a lot of confidence. You hear it every week,

304
00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:07,960
Speaker 1: his teammates glowing about, you know, the command he's taking

305
00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:10,520
Speaker 1: the huddle, joking about you know how he's yelling and

306
00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:13,120
Speaker 1: cursing out receivers and getting guys set on in the huddle,

307
00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:15,480
Speaker 1: you know, to shut up. But I mean, that's what

308
00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:17,640
Speaker 1: you want from a quarterback. You want guys to take command,

309
00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:19,720
Speaker 1: be confident, and they feel good about him, you know.

310
00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:24,360
Speaker 1: But I don't want to be controversial, Mitchell. But almost

311
00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:26,880
Speaker 1: the worst thing that could happen for the forty nine

312
00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:29,440
Speaker 1: is right now is brock Purty takes them to our

313
00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:33,200
Speaker 1: Super Bowl and win it. Mitchell. If brock Purty takes

314
00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:35,480
Speaker 1: the San Francisco forty nine is to the Super Bowl

315
00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:37,480
Speaker 1: and wins it, I'm gonna I'm gonna have to I'm

316
00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:39,520
Speaker 1: gonna have to get off Twitter till the least September,

317
00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:44,920
Speaker 1: because you're gonna have the biggest conflict for fans in

318
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:47,080
Speaker 1: the history. They're barely gonna be able to enjoy the

319
00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:50,440
Speaker 1: Super Bowl Championship. The Quest for six will be finally over.

320
00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:53,080
Speaker 1: But all you will hear about is them arguing about

321
00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:57,520
Speaker 1: Brock Purty, Trey Lands, Jimmy Garoppolo and what do you

322
00:15:57,680 --> 00:15:59,480
Speaker 1: do Mitchell. It's not a problem I want, but it's

323
00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:01,880
Speaker 1: the problem shannahad will have, and he will want it.

324
00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:06,520
Speaker 1: Win a super Bowl. Good promise to have. Maybe it

325
00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:10,080
Speaker 1: certainly is. I mean, obviously you played under him Rich.

326
00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:13,280
Speaker 1: I mean, Kyle Shanahan is a mastermind, the way he

327
00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:17,760
Speaker 1: simplifies the offense to allow some guy, a rookie Mr

328
00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:20,880
Speaker 1: Irrelevant Rock put it pretty to come in here and

329
00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:25,960
Speaker 1: play solidly, you know, and to dominate against Tom Brady.

330
00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:30,000
Speaker 1: I mean, it's just unbelievable to see. But they seem

331
00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:33,240
Speaker 1: to be cursed by this old injury bug Deebo Samuel

332
00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:35,920
Speaker 1: It looked like a pretty pretty gruesome injury, but we're

333
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:39,120
Speaker 1: hearing now that he did not suffer any serious knee injury.

334
00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:43,640
Speaker 1: It's more of an ankle twist. At some point in time, like,

335
00:16:45,640 --> 00:16:48,400
Speaker 1: how do you overcome all of this? Because Deevo's theoretically

336
00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:49,760
Speaker 1: gonna be out at least a couple of weeks. I

337
00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:52,680
Speaker 1: would assume, you know, Mitchell, Mitchell, they did not stop

338
00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:55,680
Speaker 1: scoring when Deebo Sammuel went out to maybe a few

339
00:16:55,680 --> 00:16:58,400
Speaker 1: plays later. I that the way they overcome it is

340
00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:01,600
Speaker 1: with the weapons they had. They had uh a plethora,

341
00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:07,080
Speaker 1: they had an abundance, They had a smorgish board of riches,

342
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:10,680
Speaker 1: and they still do without Deebo saving You still gotta

343
00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:13,760
Speaker 1: Now you're gonna see guys like George Kittle come back

344
00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:16,640
Speaker 1: into the fold and get more targets. You're gonna see

345
00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:19,240
Speaker 1: Brandon I you like you saw, get more targeted to

346
00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:22,960
Speaker 1: be involved. You're gonna see Ray, Ray McCleod um, Danny

347
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:25,080
Speaker 1: Gray got involved late in the game. They're gonna try

348
00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:27,480
Speaker 1: to get him going again, you know, the Speedster, and

349
00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:30,600
Speaker 1: you're gonna see Couch Janahanna again. Overcome it. You know,

350
00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:33,720
Speaker 1: when we played in twenty nineteen, we lost two tackles

351
00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:35,960
Speaker 1: for almost ten games in the season. You don't lose

352
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:37,840
Speaker 1: two tackle for ten games and go to a Super Bowl.

353
00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:40,240
Speaker 1: I don't not in the National Football League, and we did.

354
00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:42,520
Speaker 1: We lost. We had so many injuries that year. They

355
00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:45,080
Speaker 1: always find a way to win. They always find a

356
00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:48,240
Speaker 1: way to overcome. That's what six and six games trade.

357
00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:51,960
Speaker 1: Six wins straight. Like they're hot as fish grease right now, Mitchell,

358
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:54,280
Speaker 1: it's gonna be tough to beat on the other side

359
00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:57,720
Speaker 1: of the token is this NFC South Division, Someone's gotta

360
00:17:57,760 --> 00:18:00,600
Speaker 1: win it. Rich and unfortunately we gotta talk about it.

361
00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:03,320
Speaker 1: But I want to start with the Bucks and what

362
00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:06,800
Speaker 1: we're seeing with Tom Brady, which what could be the

363
00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:10,400
Speaker 1: last season of his career. Obviously, I don't think there's

364
00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:14,399
Speaker 1: much debate he's the goat. But he looks human right now.

365
00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:17,640
Speaker 1: Rich your thoughts on time, Well, he looks human because

366
00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:20,399
Speaker 1: because he doesn't have his starting right tackle is all

367
00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:23,399
Speaker 1: Pro Pro Bowl right tackle. His left tackle has been

368
00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:26,760
Speaker 1: very you know, consistent for the last two years. Is

369
00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:31,160
Speaker 1: going through something you know it's been personally, says he's

370
00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:35,480
Speaker 1: a friend the offensive line. You lost, you lost Jensen Earlily,

371
00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:37,920
Speaker 1: You've got so many injuries, so he doesn't have time

372
00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:40,639
Speaker 1: to throw the ball. His connection with the receiver just

373
00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:42,879
Speaker 1: seems off. You know a training camp, a lot of

374
00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:45,200
Speaker 1: them were injured. He's not seeming like he has the

375
00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:47,840
Speaker 1: same a rapport with them. And defensively, they just didn't

376
00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:49,760
Speaker 1: play good enough today. They didn't play good enough. You

377
00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:52,159
Speaker 1: lost Vita Vea earlier in the game, and he's a

378
00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:54,919
Speaker 1: huge part of what they do. He's an enormous literally

379
00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:58,400
Speaker 1: and figuratively enormous part of what they do. And when

380
00:18:58,400 --> 00:18:59,879
Speaker 1: you lose a guy like that, it's just like the

381
00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:03,160
Speaker 1: Ladelphia Eagles when they lost Jordan Davis. The whole entire

382
00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:05,679
Speaker 1: defense change and they had to go getting Limbdale Joseph,

383
00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:07,480
Speaker 1: they had to go get in the Dominican suit and

384
00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:10,080
Speaker 1: then to shore it up until Jordan Davis comes back.

385
00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:13,440
Speaker 1: And it was just unfortunate. They gave up plays everywhere.

386
00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:17,440
Speaker 1: You know, it's just characteristic plays everywhere around the field,

387
00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:20,760
Speaker 1: and you hate to see it, you know, especially with

388
00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:23,680
Speaker 1: Tom but you know it's it's it's unfortunate. But they

389
00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:25,560
Speaker 1: they're just not playing good enough and they're still gonna

390
00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:27,520
Speaker 1: be in the playoffs, you know. I mean, Carolina Panthers

391
00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:29,800
Speaker 1: are looking really good. They're they're on a roll. You

392
00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:32,200
Speaker 1: may see them in the playoffs. Who knows well that's

393
00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:34,600
Speaker 1: just it. I mean, the Bucks are playing the Bengals

394
00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:37,520
Speaker 1: next week. The roads just not getting any easier for

395
00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:39,679
Speaker 1: this Tampa Bay Buck into your team. I mean, I'm

396
00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:42,960
Speaker 1: assuming they're gonna be heavy underdogs in that game, going

397
00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:46,960
Speaker 1: into it in a mussage win situation. Meanwhile, the Carolina

398
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:49,200
Speaker 1: Panthers appear to be the one team in this division

399
00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:51,280
Speaker 1: that actually wants to win it. And they go on

400
00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:53,760
Speaker 1: the road and get a huge one in Seattle, and

401
00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:56,040
Speaker 1: they're they're sticking to their identity, which is just run

402
00:19:56,119 --> 00:19:59,399
Speaker 1: the football and let's hope Sam Donald doesn't turn the

403
00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:02,960
Speaker 1: ball over. But they look halfway decent. I mean, Tim

404
00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:05,120
Speaker 1: Donald's playing pretty good football. I mean he's not throwing

405
00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:08,159
Speaker 1: for crazy astronomical numbers, but he's he's being smart with

406
00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:10,600
Speaker 1: the football. He's running and when he has to, he's

407
00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:12,920
Speaker 1: being conservative with the football. And then you got J. C.

408
00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:16,400
Speaker 1: Horne interception could have had him to today playing unbelievable football.

409
00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:18,720
Speaker 1: It looks like he's found his boody. C. J. Henderson

410
00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:21,320
Speaker 1: had an interception almost had him a second. So you

411
00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:24,160
Speaker 1: also have young guys developing. You know, young guys who

412
00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:25,760
Speaker 1: who had a lot of promise, had a lot of

413
00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:28,600
Speaker 1: potential playing up to that potential, and that's huge as well.

414
00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:32,199
Speaker 1: And then you of course have Brian Burns. You got checked, uh,

415
00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:34,200
Speaker 1: you got shocked, you got you got a bunch of

416
00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:36,280
Speaker 1: talent on that defense and a bunch of pride. And

417
00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:38,639
Speaker 1: those guys they smell blood in the water. They got

418
00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:42,480
Speaker 1: the Pittsburgh Steelers next. That's a winnable football game. Sure, yeah,

419
00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:46,000
Speaker 1: that's just it. And then to the NFC's division that

420
00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:48,600
Speaker 1: certainly has caught off caught us all off guard, at

421
00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:50,320
Speaker 1: least you and I. I mean, if we want to

422
00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:52,240
Speaker 1: rerun the tape from week one when we said it

423
00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:54,320
Speaker 1: was gonna be the dumpster fire of the league, I

424
00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:57,199
Speaker 1: mean maybe they should have canceled the podcast on us

425
00:20:57,320 --> 00:20:59,280
Speaker 1: right then they're rich. I mean that we should have

426
00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:01,680
Speaker 1: that was that was one of our Mrs Mitchell. That

427
00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:06,080
Speaker 1: was a great a miss left, very much so wide left.

428
00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:09,680
Speaker 1: I mean, this Philadelphia Eagles Giants game was supposed to

429
00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:14,160
Speaker 1: be the hallmark of this NFC East, you know, division rivalry,

430
00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:18,280
Speaker 1: and the Giants had an opportunity and they just they

431
00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:22,720
Speaker 1: just frankly look like they don't belong rich. This is

432
00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:25,240
Speaker 1: just a downfall back to Earth. There won four on

433
00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:28,080
Speaker 1: one of their last six. But more importantly, the Eagles

434
00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:31,440
Speaker 1: just continued their dominance. UM, talk to me about this

435
00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:35,399
Speaker 1: Eagles team. They you'r they your favorites right now? If

436
00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:38,400
Speaker 1: they risen to number one, Well, they've been a number

437
00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:40,399
Speaker 1: one in the power rankings for like, I don't know,

438
00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:42,640
Speaker 1: six weeks or so five weeks something like that. UM,

439
00:21:43,040 --> 00:21:45,840
Speaker 1: so yeah, they've been number one, UM in the power rankings.

440
00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:48,360
Speaker 1: I still feel like if if we get an NFC

441
00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:51,160
Speaker 1: championship where they see the San Francisco forty Niners coming

442
00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:54,199
Speaker 1: to Philadelphia, they will have their hands more than full. Um.

443
00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:56,840
Speaker 1: It'll be a whole different ball game than what they've

444
00:21:56,840 --> 00:21:59,000
Speaker 1: dealt with before. It'll be a whole different ball game

445
00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:02,919
Speaker 1: than what they've out with that offensive line and the secondary. Defensively,

446
00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:06,240
Speaker 1: they will be the best defense they've ever played. Offensively,

447
00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:08,920
Speaker 1: that would be the most dynamic offense I think they played.

448
00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:11,440
Speaker 1: And so they are playing as well as anybody in

449
00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:13,840
Speaker 1: National Football League. Jalen Hurts looks like an m VP

450
00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:16,960
Speaker 1: candidate steal. I mean more and more each week he's

451
00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:19,240
Speaker 1: looking like the m v P the Giants. We we

452
00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:21,879
Speaker 1: knew the Giants weren't gonna, you know, continue to to

453
00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:24,480
Speaker 1: be on fire like that they're coming back to earth.

454
00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:26,639
Speaker 1: But you know, Daniel Jones, they still have hope, you know.

455
00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:28,720
Speaker 1: But se Kwan isn't seeing the holes that he was

456
00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:31,520
Speaker 1: seeing earlier. They got behind early in this ball game,

457
00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:34,480
Speaker 1: so then they stopped running the football. But Mole Sanders

458
00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:38,320
Speaker 1: continuing to have the best season he's ever had, uh

459
00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:43,240
Speaker 1: seventeen rushers for one two touchdowns. He's the first thousand

460
00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:47,000
Speaker 1: yard rusher for Philadelia, for the Philadelphia Eagles in a

461
00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:50,280
Speaker 1: very long time, I mean since and then you got

462
00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:56,720
Speaker 1: all day always open A J. Brown with another touchdown,

463
00:22:56,920 --> 00:23:00,280
Speaker 1: another one, and then Brandon Graham there one also the

464
00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:03,920
Speaker 1: season he blames himself. He had to play you know

465
00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:08,080
Speaker 1: where where against the Commanders where he thought he didn't

466
00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:10,240
Speaker 1: know he was down. He gave the unnecessary runs in

467
00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:13,680
Speaker 1: game the first down. But today three sets turned back

468
00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:16,640
Speaker 1: the hand of time, and you continue to see why

469
00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:18,800
Speaker 1: they're elite on both sides of the ball. They have

470
00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:22,040
Speaker 1: so many big time players who are just veterans played

471
00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:24,360
Speaker 1: the game for a long time. On the offensive line,

472
00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:27,720
Speaker 1: you see Lane Johnson Um, you see Kelsey in the middle.

473
00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:30,560
Speaker 1: You just see veteran players who just know how to win.

474
00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:33,440
Speaker 1: You see that defensive line has so many veterans. I

475
00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:35,680
Speaker 1: mean you you can go, you can go who's who

476
00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:39,040
Speaker 1: on that defensive line and you it's great. But you know,

477
00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:42,359
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not really surprised by the Giants. You know,

478
00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:46,679
Speaker 1: fall well, Jalen Hurts is really carrying the team as well.

479
00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:48,840
Speaker 1: I mean he's the first QB in NFL history with

480
00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:51,320
Speaker 1: ten plus rush gis and back to back seasons rich.

481
00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:54,840
Speaker 1: I mean, this guy has certainly elevated his game over

482
00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:57,879
Speaker 1: last year. It's kind of starting to shape up with

483
00:23:57,960 --> 00:24:01,000
Speaker 1: that m VP talk more and more. Is he does

484
00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:05,440
Speaker 1: he have a legitimate shot this year? Is It's still no,

485
00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:07,840
Speaker 1: it's not mahomes Allen's game. I mean when we just

486
00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:10,879
Speaker 1: talked about Josh only three seven a day, I mean

487
00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:13,840
Speaker 1: team one, uh and and he played solid. He made

488
00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:15,760
Speaker 1: the plays that he needs to on third down, some

489
00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:18,240
Speaker 1: big huge third down runs, third and team, putting his

490
00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:20,399
Speaker 1: body on the line for his team. But you just can't.

491
00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:24,399
Speaker 1: You can't overshadow what Jalen Hurts is doing, his team's record,

492
00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:27,119
Speaker 1: how he's winning games. I mean, the first quarterback in

493
00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:29,919
Speaker 1: the NFL history to have back to back ten rushing

494
00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:34,560
Speaker 1: touchdown seasons. Uh, he's just playing. He's leading his team.

495
00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:37,160
Speaker 1: It's not like he's a passenger on this train. He's

496
00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:39,960
Speaker 1: he's he's the reason, a big part of why they're

497
00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:43,760
Speaker 1: winning these games and passing in running the ball. He's

498
00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:46,480
Speaker 1: just making plays and making the plays that his team needs.

499
00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:48,879
Speaker 1: You you gotta appreciate that he's putting his team in

500
00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:52,400
Speaker 1: a position to win football games. Patrick Mahomes three interceptions today.

501
00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:55,000
Speaker 1: Three touchdowns, but three interceptions. So it's that's are gonna

502
00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:57,480
Speaker 1: look great. They're gonna look great Nandy Reid's offense, and

503
00:24:57,560 --> 00:24:59,080
Speaker 1: he has all the talent in the world, he's gonna

504
00:24:59,119 --> 00:25:02,239
Speaker 1: look great. But there have also been games he's put

505
00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:04,119
Speaker 1: his team in position to lose those ball games. So

506
00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:05,760
Speaker 1: you have to take that into account. You just can't

507
00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:07,920
Speaker 1: look at the stats and say, well, who has the

508
00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:11,119
Speaker 1: best stats. It looks like Patrick Mahomes, Like, you know,

509
00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:13,480
Speaker 1: whose offense is playing the best. If you if you

510
00:25:13,520 --> 00:25:16,199
Speaker 1: put the Philadelphia Eagles versus the Kennesse ch Chief, who

511
00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:17,639
Speaker 1: would you expect to win that ball game? And I

512
00:25:17,680 --> 00:25:19,680
Speaker 1: think a lot of people would have Philadelphia Eagles walking

513
00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:22,000
Speaker 1: out of that building. Would win. I don't disagree with you.

514
00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:27,879
Speaker 1: The team that I thought, frankly could take it in

515
00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:31,680
Speaker 1: the NFC was the Dallas Cowboys, and today was a

516
00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:34,280
Speaker 1: little eye opening. I don't know if they just weren't

517
00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:36,359
Speaker 1: on top of their game. You know, it didn't take

518
00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:38,560
Speaker 1: this game seriously, but they got behind early, they did

519
00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:41,720
Speaker 1: they did come back and win, which is huge. Bigger

520
00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:44,280
Speaker 1: picture here though, Rich is the call out beginning to

521
00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:49,240
Speaker 1: season Tony Pollard breakout Player of the Year? Does it again?

522
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:54,040
Speaker 1: Twelve TD this season? Can somebody pay this guy? Please, Mitchell.

523
00:25:54,040 --> 00:25:55,800
Speaker 1: Somebody's definitely gonna pay him. It's just not gonna be

524
00:25:55,840 --> 00:25:59,439
Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys because they're paying fifteen million dollars Mitchell.

525
00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:01,399
Speaker 1: So here it's aren't gonna be the Dallas Cowboys. But

526
00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:03,600
Speaker 1: they're gonna enjoin why they got him, and they are

527
00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:06,240
Speaker 1: doing that. But again, this is going back to the

528
00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:09,560
Speaker 1: stat that got produced before the game. The Dallas Cowboys

529
00:26:09,640 --> 00:26:13,640
Speaker 1: are worth sixteen and old when Ezekiel Elliott has fifteen

530
00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:18,040
Speaker 1: plus rushes and I could look and of course Ezekiel

531
00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:21,679
Speaker 1: Elliott fifteen rushes a touchdown game winner at the end

532
00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:23,720
Speaker 1: of the game, So seventeen and oh now, but Dak

533
00:26:23,800 --> 00:26:28,440
Speaker 1: Prescott again sloppy with football. U two interceptions in this game.

534
00:26:28,800 --> 00:26:33,520
Speaker 1: It just doesn't you know, it doesn't feel solid as it,

535
00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:35,720
Speaker 1: you know, as you would hope for a team to

536
00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:37,399
Speaker 1: be a leader. And people are like, why do you

537
00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:39,639
Speaker 1: have them fifth in the power rankings because of that?

538
00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:43,880
Speaker 1: Because it doesn't feel like a team that you're gonna

539
00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:46,320
Speaker 1: be afraid of. It feels like a team that will

540
00:26:46,359 --> 00:26:49,400
Speaker 1: run into the San Francisco forty niners again and go home.

541
00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:52,200
Speaker 1: It feels like a team that could run into the

542
00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:56,160
Speaker 1: Philadelphia Eagles again and go home. Like it doesn't feel

543
00:26:56,200 --> 00:26:59,120
Speaker 1: with you. There aren't many teams that you're You're like, hey,

544
00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:01,640
Speaker 1: I mean, they may get out of the wild card round,

545
00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:03,960
Speaker 1: you would expect that, but if they just that, you

546
00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:05,840
Speaker 1: have to be very careful of who they play in

547
00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:08,120
Speaker 1: the divisional and to feel good about it. You don't

548
00:27:08,160 --> 00:27:09,840
Speaker 1: feel good about them playing the nine and you don't

549
00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:12,280
Speaker 1: feel good about them playing the Eagle. So they have

550
00:27:12,560 --> 00:27:14,600
Speaker 1: but they can't be hired, you know what I mean.

551
00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:16,560
Speaker 1: They can't be hired because there will be a route

552
00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:19,720
Speaker 1: car team, so they'll be a fifth, six, seventh seed.

553
00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:21,760
Speaker 1: So the best they can do is beat the fifth

554
00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:25,760
Speaker 1: seed and play the NFC South. So hey, okay, you

555
00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:27,800
Speaker 1: got to the playoffs, you play the NFC South team,

556
00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:29,800
Speaker 1: maybe you get through them. You's maybe it's the Carolina

557
00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:32,040
Speaker 1: Panthers and they give you a game but you win.

558
00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:34,560
Speaker 1: Or if your Detroit Lions and they give you a

559
00:27:34,680 --> 00:27:38,360
Speaker 1: game but you win. Okay, now you're the fifth seed.

560
00:27:38,400 --> 00:27:41,960
Speaker 1: Now you gotta go to Philadelphia. You feel good about

561
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:44,959
Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys, with this team they have, with everything,

562
00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:47,400
Speaker 1: with that playing the way he is, with Zeke playing

563
00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:50,200
Speaker 1: away winning that ball game, you don't. You don't. You

564
00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:52,320
Speaker 1: don't feel good that that good. You feel like, hey,

565
00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:55,520
Speaker 1: they're going home. And so that's why I'm not feeling

566
00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:58,040
Speaker 1: great about Dallas Cowboys, especially after game like this. But

567
00:27:58,119 --> 00:27:59,760
Speaker 1: it just it just confirms what you know. I mean

568
00:27:59,840 --> 00:28:02,320
Speaker 1: that that the Houston Texas are still the National Football

569
00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:04,480
Speaker 1: League team, but they don't have the most talent in

570
00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:06,280
Speaker 1: the world. They're playing with a lot of guys who

571
00:28:06,520 --> 00:28:08,240
Speaker 1: haven't played a lot of snaps in this league. And

572
00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:11,000
Speaker 1: they gave him a game. I mean, they didn't want

573
00:28:11,040 --> 00:28:12,400
Speaker 1: to win the game because they still want the number

574
00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:13,800
Speaker 1: one pick. They don't want to give up the number

575
00:28:13,800 --> 00:28:15,520
Speaker 1: one picks, so they want to. They want to, they

576
00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:18,640
Speaker 1: want to come close to winning. But let's not getting crazy, guys.

577
00:28:20,359 --> 00:28:23,560
Speaker 1: Rish do you think the Dallas Cowboys, in the event

578
00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:26,200
Speaker 1: they sign O'Dell Beckham Jr. Is that does that do

579
00:28:26,320 --> 00:28:27,960
Speaker 1: it for you? Does that tip the needle a little

580
00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:30,360
Speaker 1: bit more in their favor for you or just more

581
00:28:30,359 --> 00:28:33,800
Speaker 1: of the same. I will first off, first off, I

582
00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:35,400
Speaker 1: don't think they have a chance to sign it O'Dell

583
00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:38,040
Speaker 1: Beckham Junior with with the information that they leaked, like

584
00:28:38,120 --> 00:28:40,760
Speaker 1: they're leaking information thing he's not ready, his knee is

585
00:28:40,760 --> 00:28:44,000
Speaker 1: not ready. It was like a slander campaign on O'Dell

586
00:28:44,040 --> 00:28:46,560
Speaker 1: Beckham Junior. When he got to Doubt. He had two

587
00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:49,120
Speaker 1: other visits that we didn't hear a thing about, and

588
00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:51,000
Speaker 1: then he got to Dallas and it was like, well,

589
00:28:51,640 --> 00:28:54,600
Speaker 1: officials in Dallas are are very concerned that his knee

590
00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:57,480
Speaker 1: may not be ready this season, and and yeah, where

591
00:28:57,520 --> 00:28:59,720
Speaker 1: were you know? Then you hear something about the Rams

592
00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:02,040
Speaker 1: saying they wouldn't have signed him in August because they

593
00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:03,560
Speaker 1: got to fill in his knees. Gonna blow up? Like

594
00:29:03,600 --> 00:29:06,840
Speaker 1: you had so much nonsense coming out, You're like like

595
00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:09,120
Speaker 1: who did he make mad? Like who did he piss off?

596
00:29:09,560 --> 00:29:12,080
Speaker 1: Because none of this information are coming out come out

597
00:29:12,120 --> 00:29:14,040
Speaker 1: at any other time. It's like they're trying to lower

598
00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:16,840
Speaker 1: the price for him. So I'd be really surprised if

599
00:29:16,840 --> 00:29:18,920
Speaker 1: he goes Dallas after what happened when he went on

600
00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:21,480
Speaker 1: his visits. Then we got a game tonight, obviously, the

601
00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:24,640
Speaker 1: Chargers and A in a big game this evening. Who

602
00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:26,440
Speaker 1: the heck are they even playing on They're playing the

603
00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:29,640
Speaker 1: Miami Dolphins, the Tour Herbert. Who should you have picked?

604
00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:33,480
Speaker 1: Miami Tour or Herbert? That's the question everybody's been asking.

605
00:29:33,520 --> 00:29:35,680
Speaker 1: It looks like TOOI was in the m v P

606
00:29:35,840 --> 00:29:38,920
Speaker 1: conversation they're taking That San Francisco game kind of brought

607
00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:42,080
Speaker 1: him back to earth a bit, Mitchell, But this will

608
00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:44,200
Speaker 1: be a big win for the A s C. I

609
00:29:44,240 --> 00:29:45,480
Speaker 1: want to I want to start in the f C

610
00:29:45,560 --> 00:29:48,120
Speaker 1: and just talk about this playoff picture here. Obviously we

611
00:29:48,160 --> 00:29:50,239
Speaker 1: talked about it last week. The Buffalo Bills. If they

612
00:29:50,280 --> 00:29:53,320
Speaker 1: can win this out and have home field advantage, that

613
00:29:53,520 --> 00:29:57,480
Speaker 1: tilts heavily in their favor. Von Miller is now out

614
00:29:57,560 --> 00:30:00,760
Speaker 1: for the season. You know how much is that gonna

615
00:30:00,840 --> 00:30:04,560
Speaker 1: truly affect the way they play ball going forward? Because

616
00:30:04,600 --> 00:30:07,560
Speaker 1: he seemed to be such a difference maker for their defense.

617
00:30:07,720 --> 00:30:09,920
Speaker 1: I don't know, Mitell I, I don't know. All I

618
00:30:10,040 --> 00:30:12,280
Speaker 1: know is that they do not want to see the

619
00:30:12,640 --> 00:30:15,280
Speaker 1: Jets again. They don't want to see the Jets again.

620
00:30:15,440 --> 00:30:17,320
Speaker 1: Like if they get to the playoffs in the first

621
00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:19,160
Speaker 1: round and the Jets come to Buffalo, it'll be a

622
00:30:19,240 --> 00:30:22,320
Speaker 1: dogfighted it will be a very uncomfortable game for Buffalo,

623
00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:25,880
Speaker 1: even at their home stadium. I think they made some mistakes.

624
00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:28,040
Speaker 1: Buffalo made some mistakes. I think that's gonna be a

625
00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:30,240
Speaker 1: ball game. But they need to hold on to the

626
00:30:30,280 --> 00:30:32,640
Speaker 1: one seat. And you know, they look like they're in control.

627
00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:34,840
Speaker 1: And if they do that, they'll, you know, I mean,

628
00:30:34,920 --> 00:30:36,680
Speaker 1: there's a number of teams they could they could have

629
00:30:36,840 --> 00:30:38,960
Speaker 1: if they hold on to the one seat. But there's

630
00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:42,640
Speaker 1: a small chance that they have to play the Jets again.

631
00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:46,600
Speaker 1: And you know, I just don't I'm not blown away

632
00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:48,880
Speaker 1: by them like we were early in the season. Early

633
00:30:48,960 --> 00:30:52,440
Speaker 1: in the season, they looked freaking like men amongst boys,

634
00:30:52,680 --> 00:30:55,080
Speaker 1: and they were dynamic, they were dominant. You don't talk

635
00:30:55,080 --> 00:30:58,080
Speaker 1: about Gabe Dave and Stefan Diggs, you talk about Josh

636
00:30:58,160 --> 00:31:01,760
Speaker 1: Allen leading m VP candidate. They defense playing unbelievable, von

637
00:31:01,880 --> 00:31:04,600
Speaker 1: Miller making all these plays, the linebackers, you talk about

638
00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:09,479
Speaker 1: all the other past rushers russo um and then uh,

639
00:31:09,880 --> 00:31:11,479
Speaker 1: you you get to this part of the season, you're

640
00:31:11,520 --> 00:31:15,000
Speaker 1: looking like they're very mortal. They're very mortal, They're very beatiful.

641
00:31:15,120 --> 00:31:17,480
Speaker 1: You talk about the Thanksgiving game against the Detroit Lions

642
00:31:17,520 --> 00:31:19,400
Speaker 1: that it took everything for them to win that game

643
00:31:19,480 --> 00:31:22,960
Speaker 1: at the end, closing seconds, big big plays by Stefan

644
00:31:23,040 --> 00:31:26,320
Speaker 1: Diggs and Josh Allen. But again, you felt like they've

645
00:31:26,360 --> 00:31:28,920
Speaker 1: been mortal for the past maybe four or five games

646
00:31:29,280 --> 00:31:30,920
Speaker 1: and going into the playoffs, that's not what you want

647
00:31:30,960 --> 00:31:32,680
Speaker 1: to see. You want to see hot. You want to

648
00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:34,400
Speaker 1: You want to see like the Philadelphia Eagles. You want

649
00:31:34,440 --> 00:31:37,840
Speaker 1: to see streaking. Uh, the San Francisco for nine are streaking.

650
00:31:38,080 --> 00:31:40,560
Speaker 1: You've got teams that are getting hot. The Cincinnati Bengals

651
00:31:40,920 --> 00:31:43,600
Speaker 1: streaking like teams getting hot at the right time. Teams

652
00:31:43,640 --> 00:31:46,239
Speaker 1: you do not want to see. Like, how comfortable are

653
00:31:46,280 --> 00:31:48,640
Speaker 1: you as the Buffalo Bills playing the Cincinnati Bengals in

654
00:31:48,680 --> 00:31:51,040
Speaker 1: the second round of the playoffs, are you as confident? No,

655
00:31:51,200 --> 00:31:53,200
Speaker 1: you're not. You're not feeling good about that. Can your

656
00:31:53,200 --> 00:31:58,280
Speaker 1: secondary stand up to that? That on slot offensive on

657
00:31:58,400 --> 00:32:01,280
Speaker 1: slot that they have now that's questionable. Their defense is

658
00:32:01,280 --> 00:32:03,640
Speaker 1: also playing good football. Their offensive line playing better than

659
00:32:03,680 --> 00:32:06,000
Speaker 1: they have throughout the entire year. I mean, it's crazy.

660
00:32:06,880 --> 00:32:08,320
Speaker 1: And that's the team I was waiting for you to

661
00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:11,520
Speaker 1: bring up. I mean, this Cincinnati Bengals team is just

662
00:32:12,200 --> 00:32:14,880
Speaker 1: replicating what they did last year. But they seem to be,

663
00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:18,120
Speaker 1: you know, more so on everyone's radar because they proved

664
00:32:18,160 --> 00:32:20,760
Speaker 1: that they were a real team last year. This team,

665
00:32:21,080 --> 00:32:23,760
Speaker 1: you know, they're coming on hot, and to me, they

666
00:32:23,840 --> 00:32:25,680
Speaker 1: look like the surest thing in the A f C.

667
00:32:25,920 --> 00:32:29,280
Speaker 1: I don't know, you know, if that's gonna prove true,

668
00:32:29,360 --> 00:32:30,880
Speaker 1: but there's certainly not a team you're gonna want to

669
00:32:30,920 --> 00:32:32,600
Speaker 1: see in the second round of the playoffs, that is

670
00:32:32,800 --> 00:32:35,480
Speaker 1: without a doubt. On the NFC side, you know, at

671
00:32:35,520 --> 00:32:38,240
Speaker 1: the top, dogs are pretty well set. I mean, we know,

672
00:32:38,520 --> 00:32:40,640
Speaker 1: we know the Vikings are gonna win the A. The

673
00:32:40,760 --> 00:32:43,280
Speaker 1: NFC North, we we believe the Eagles are probably gonna

674
00:32:43,320 --> 00:32:45,680
Speaker 1: win the The Niners look like they'll run away in

675
00:32:45,720 --> 00:32:48,800
Speaker 1: the West. The South is an absolute shit show. But

676
00:32:49,320 --> 00:32:53,120
Speaker 1: beyond the Cowboys, these last two spots are completely up

677
00:32:53,200 --> 00:32:56,400
Speaker 1: for grabs. Who do you think see taking the final

678
00:32:56,480 --> 00:32:59,520
Speaker 1: two spots in the NFC. UM, I don't I don't know,

679
00:32:59,680 --> 00:33:01,960
Speaker 1: I don't know. It's it's it's gonna be interesting. That tie,

680
00:33:02,160 --> 00:33:05,440
Speaker 1: that weird tie between the Giants and the Commanders is

681
00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:07,920
Speaker 1: gonna he is definitely gonna come into play. I think,

682
00:33:08,360 --> 00:33:10,920
Speaker 1: you know, it just depends on which Seattle Seahawks team

683
00:33:10,960 --> 00:33:13,040
Speaker 1: shows up this Thursday against fort nine. Is because if

684
00:33:13,080 --> 00:33:14,840
Speaker 1: they show up like they have the last couple of three,

685
00:33:15,160 --> 00:33:17,760
Speaker 1: the last couple of weeks, defensively, uh, they may get

686
00:33:17,840 --> 00:33:20,840
Speaker 1: run out of their own building. But uh, you know,

687
00:33:20,960 --> 00:33:23,240
Speaker 1: I think the Commanders, you know, with Heineke, are a

688
00:33:23,360 --> 00:33:25,680
Speaker 1: dangerous team, you know, the very dangerous team. Team with

689
00:33:25,840 --> 00:33:29,240
Speaker 1: nothing to lose, a gun slinger at the quarterback position. Defense,

690
00:33:29,440 --> 00:33:31,760
Speaker 1: has enough playmakers on that d line to to to

691
00:33:32,160 --> 00:33:35,040
Speaker 1: put fear in anybody's heart. And they're running the ball

692
00:33:35,240 --> 00:33:38,280
Speaker 1: really well. That's where scary. You know, you got scary

693
00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:41,240
Speaker 1: Terry on now outside, You've got enough playmakers like they're

694
00:33:41,240 --> 00:33:43,440
Speaker 1: playing their best football and they're fearless, they have nothing

695
00:33:43,440 --> 00:33:45,040
Speaker 1: to lose. They feel like they're playing on house money.

696
00:33:45,080 --> 00:33:46,800
Speaker 1: A team like that is a team you get in

697
00:33:46,840 --> 00:33:49,080
Speaker 1: the playoffs. And remember, I remember a couple of years ago,

698
00:33:49,280 --> 00:33:51,480
Speaker 1: Heineke played against Tom Brady and they had their hands

699
00:33:51,520 --> 00:33:53,680
Speaker 1: more than full in Washington. They found a way to

700
00:33:53,720 --> 00:33:55,360
Speaker 1: win it on their way to a Super Bowl win.

701
00:33:55,720 --> 00:33:57,800
Speaker 1: But I I would not want to see them if

702
00:33:57,840 --> 00:33:59,160
Speaker 1: they I think they have a chance to get in

703
00:33:59,200 --> 00:34:02,120
Speaker 1: that seventh seed. Um, and of course the Giants, you know,

704
00:34:02,200 --> 00:34:04,760
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be between those two. Well, Rich,

705
00:34:05,080 --> 00:34:08,320
Speaker 1: we got a great game tonight. Um. This concludes Week fourteen,

712
00:34:26,920 --> 00:34:30,920
Speaker 1: interviews that he's done, uh since he retired, but it's

713
00:34:30,960 --> 00:34:34,160
Speaker 1: gonna be a classic. See you then get the sub button.

714
00:34:34,200 --> 00:34:37,360
Speaker 1: If you knew Mitchell, it may have something to do.

715
00:34:38,320 --> 00:34:43,040
Speaker 1: If you're Detroit Lions, He's coming out at the right time. Rich,

716
00:34:43,080 --> 00:34:45,560
Speaker 1: I'll tell you that much, right right, right, right right,

717
00:34:45,680 --> 00:34:47,920
Speaker 1: I mean I would say they may get him out

718
00:34:47,920 --> 00:34:50,120
Speaker 1: of her time. But Mitchell, he ain't coming out, not

719
