Speaker 3: All right, man, you go ahead. Welcome back to the

25
00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:34,160
Speaker 3: Richard Sherman Podcast. We are nearing the end of the season, Mitchell,

26
00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:35,720
Speaker 3: and things are getting crazy.

27
00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:39,840
Speaker 1: It's been an emotional weekend, rich Uh. We're nearing the

28
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:44,480
Speaker 1: new year, Richard. Last night was a devastating one for me.

29
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:47,720
Speaker 1: But we don't need to start there. Let's start with

30
00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:51,160
Speaker 1: San Francisco. You're forty nine ers. They go get a

31
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:54,480
Speaker 1: win on the road, They knock off the Washington Commanders,

32
00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:58,120
Speaker 1: take full control of the NFC, have clinched the number

33
00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:01,160
Speaker 1: one seed, and a buy your thoughts, rich.

34
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:04,720
Speaker 3: Well. It was kind of a slow start to the game,

35
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:08,080
Speaker 3: but in the end they turned it around. They helped

36
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:11,040
Speaker 3: them to ten points. Christian McCaffrey leaves the game with

37
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:13,960
Speaker 3: a calf injury, which makes to buy even more important.

38
00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:16,480
Speaker 3: I doubt they play him next week. I would imagine

39
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:18,600
Speaker 3: next week they only played the starters, probably for the

40
00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:22,360
Speaker 3: first half. That's usually what they've done when they've locked

41
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:26,200
Speaker 3: it up. Makes no point of playing the whole game,

42
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:28,520
Speaker 3: unless you just really are concerned about getting that win.

43
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:31,600
Speaker 3: But you know, things change every week, so who knows

44
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:34,880
Speaker 3: what Kyle would do. Already breaks the forty nine Ers

45
00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:39,920
Speaker 3: record for most passing yards in a season, passing what

46
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:43,920
Speaker 3: do you pass? Jeff Garcia and Steve Young on the

47
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:49,720
Speaker 3: list in sixteen games. Ayuk has his seventh straight our

48
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:53,560
Speaker 3: seventh game with one hundred plus yards. The Commanders are

49
00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:55,919
Speaker 3: in a rough spot, but if you look on the

50
00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:57,600
Speaker 3: other side of the coin, they're in a decent spot

51
00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:01,280
Speaker 3: because they could potentially be the number two picking the draft,

52
00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:03,280
Speaker 3: which would get them their quarterback of the future for

53
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:06,160
Speaker 3: their new head coach, whoever that may be. Or I mean,

54
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:09,320
Speaker 3: if you think Ron Rivera is surviving this, then Ron rivere.

55
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:14,840
Speaker 3: But overall, good game for them, not a ton to

56
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:18,560
Speaker 3: talk about other than CMC brock Purty played a solid game.

57
00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:20,600
Speaker 3: You know they had to have this win. They play

58
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:23,160
Speaker 3: the Rams next week, like I said, but I can't

59
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:26,640
Speaker 3: imagine them playing their start as the whole game and

60
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:28,440
Speaker 3: trying to win that game when they already got the

61
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:31,240
Speaker 3: one seed sewn up. I would guess you got veterans

62
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:33,799
Speaker 3: that need to rest, like Trent Williams, Christian McCaffrey coming

63
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:37,120
Speaker 3: off the injury, Deebo Samuel, the way he plays, Brandon

64
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:40,920
Speaker 3: Ayuk defensively, you got Eric Armstead nurse who's been nursing

65
00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:44,720
Speaker 3: this injury, Javon Hargrave again nursing this injury. But yeah, Mitchell,

66
00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:49,640
Speaker 3: and then Seattle. Seattle looked good early on in this game,

67
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:53,440
Speaker 3: at least offensively. They were moving the ball down the field.

68
00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:57,560
Speaker 3: It looked like Gino was playing another good game and

69
00:03:57,600 --> 00:03:59,480
Speaker 3: he was gonna take them to the promised lay ind

70
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:04,480
Speaker 3: But Mike Tomlin and East Pittsburgh Steelers just find a

71
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:07,480
Speaker 3: way every single season near the end of the year,

72
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:09,960
Speaker 3: they find a way to get it done, to execute,

73
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:12,800
Speaker 3: to win these games. And he's done it again his

74
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:19,120
Speaker 3: seventeenth straight season of not having a losing season. Mitchell,

75
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:22,880
Speaker 3: he is guaranteed another winning season for the seventeenth time

76
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:26,320
Speaker 3: out of seventeen. It's incredible, and I don't think it

77
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:28,880
Speaker 3: gets enough credit. I don't think it gets enough attention.

78
00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:32,599
Speaker 3: It's how incredible that record is. He's doing it with

79
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:36,039
Speaker 3: now Mason Rudolph. He's done it with three different quarterbacks, Trabitsky,

80
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:41,120
Speaker 3: Kenny Pickett, and now Mason Rudolph, and Mason Rudolph has

81
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:44,000
Speaker 3: done the best. He's scored thirty points in consecutive games

82
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:46,599
Speaker 3: for the first time this year. I mean, he's starting

83
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:48,400
Speaker 3: to look like their guy, and people thought he was

84
00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:52,279
Speaker 3: their guy after Ben left. But he's playing a good game.

85
00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:55,960
Speaker 3: I mean, you gotta you gotta have. There's a lot

86
00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:59,719
Speaker 3: of questions, you know, about what happened this game for Seattle.

87
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:03,320
Speaker 3: Kate Medcalf played good. Kenneth Walker looked kind of banged

88
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:06,040
Speaker 3: up throughout the game, but he still ran for fifty

89
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:09,800
Speaker 3: three yards in a touchdown. Gino twenty three of thirty

90
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:14,880
Speaker 3: three for two ninety and a touchdown. But it just defensively,

91
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:17,839
Speaker 3: they just couldn't get the stops when they needed them.

92
00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:22,359
Speaker 3: They couldn't slow down this offense. Najie Harris seemed to

93
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:25,440
Speaker 3: be controlling the game. Jalen Warren controlled the game, and

94
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:27,120
Speaker 3: Nazie Harris didn't get a ton of yards. I mean,

95
00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:30,279
Speaker 3: twenty seven rushers for twenty two yards. Jalen Warren, on

96
00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:33,120
Speaker 3: the other hand, thirteen rushers for seventy five yards was

97
00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:35,800
Speaker 3: doing a heck of a job. They found out if

98
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:38,920
Speaker 3: you throw the ball to George Pickens, it works out,

99
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:41,640
Speaker 3: and your offense is executing, and your offense scores points

100
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:44,200
Speaker 3: and the ball moves down the field low and behold.

101
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:47,840
Speaker 3: He was frustrated early in the season and people were like, man,

102
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:51,839
Speaker 3: he's wrong, Like, eh, he wants the ball and it's

103
00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:54,719
Speaker 3: a simple simple as throwing him the ball. And these

104
00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:56,720
Speaker 3: guys aren't even trying to throw him the ball. He'd

105
00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:59,520
Speaker 3: go games without targets or one or two targets. The

106
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:01,960
Speaker 3: guys throwing slant routes are dirting the ball right in

107
00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:04,600
Speaker 3: front of them, and it's just like anybody would be frustrated.

108
00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:08,760
Speaker 3: So they seem to be getting more and more dangerous

109
00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:11,599
Speaker 3: as they go. Mason Rudolph is making those big plays,

110
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:14,760
Speaker 3: but it's a crushing loss for the Seahawks. It clinches

111
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:17,760
Speaker 3: a playoff spot for the Rams, which is huge. They've

112
00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:20,320
Speaker 3: been playing good in the Rams again. They're going to

113
00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:22,920
Speaker 3: play San Francisco at the end in a meaningless game

114
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:23,760
Speaker 3: for San Francisco.

115
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:26,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, and that's tough, Rich, I mean, you hit the

116
00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:28,719
Speaker 1: nail on the head. I mean, the Steelers have found

117
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:32,560
Speaker 1: their guy, Mason Rudolph, giving these guys big opportunities. George Pickens,

118
00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:34,680
Speaker 1: Deontay Johnson. We talked about it a number of times

119
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:38,479
Speaker 1: throughout the season. Kenny Pickett just didn't give his options

120
00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:41,760
Speaker 1: outside the chances. Here he is back to back games

121
00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:45,640
Speaker 1: doing his thing, Kenny or George Pickens monster numbers these

122
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 1: last two games.

123
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:48,640
Speaker 2: Good for him. But the Seahawks, Rich, I mean.

124
00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:50,960
Speaker 1: This was a had to have it game, and now

125
00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:54,840
Speaker 1: they're left waiting, praying to get bailed out by the

126
00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:57,640
Speaker 1: NFC North for a second year in a row. And

127
00:06:57,720 --> 00:06:59,800
Speaker 1: what they're going to have to have happen essentially is

128
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:04,600
Speaker 1: whoever wins tonight's game between the Packers and the Vikings

129
00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:06,080
Speaker 1: is going to have to go and turn around and

130
00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:07,920
Speaker 1: lose next week's game. And the Seahawks are going to

131
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:09,800
Speaker 1: have to win for them to have a prayer, Rich

132
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:12,880
Speaker 1: and that they had everything in their old hand, they

133
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:16,000
Speaker 1: could control their own destiny. And you know, Rich, playing

134
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:19,080
Speaker 1: in Seattle's not easy. This is a place that this

135
00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:22,520
Speaker 1: a place team goes, Teams go to die, right. It

136
00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:25,840
Speaker 1: just hasn't been that way. And I don't know, man,

137
00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:29,040
Speaker 1: I don't know. I figured they would win this one easily, Rich,

138
00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:31,240
Speaker 1: and then they go to go to Arizona and take

139
00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:32,880
Speaker 1: care of business. They'd be a shoe one for that

140
00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:38,480
Speaker 1: seventh seed at minimum, and now they're left on a prayer. Richard,

141
00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:40,720
Speaker 1: I want to talk about a game near and dear

142
00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:45,200
Speaker 1: to my heart, because yesterday last night, the Dallas Cowboys

143
00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:49,400
Speaker 1: and the Detroit Lions faced off down in Dallas, and

144
00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:52,840
Speaker 1: you know, it was a back and forth game. Obviously,

145
00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:56,640
Speaker 1: I don't think it went many the way many people thought.

146
00:07:56,680 --> 00:07:58,080
Speaker 1: You know, I think everyone thought it would be a

147
00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:01,840
Speaker 1: high scoring shootout of the lines. We get the ball

148
00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:04,160
Speaker 1: moving on the ground, Dallas get the ball moving through

149
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:07,720
Speaker 1: the air. Not so much the case, more of a

150
00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:10,280
Speaker 1: defensive battle that comes down to the wire. But before

151
00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:12,280
Speaker 1: we get into the nuts and bolts of the game,

152
00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:16,760
Speaker 1: let's talk about the end, because there was controversy in

153
00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:20,840
Speaker 1: Dallas and it had huge implications on this postseason. Let's

154
00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:24,680
Speaker 1: not overlook that the Detroit Lions go down the field

155
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:29,800
Speaker 1: minute thirty left, no timeout, score what would be potentially

156
00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:33,400
Speaker 1: tying touchdown nineteen to twenty. They elect to go for two.

157
00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:37,840
Speaker 1: Dan Campbell otherwise known as Dan Gamble, elects to go

158
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:41,120
Speaker 1: for two. They hit Taylor Decker in the corner of

159
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:44,280
Speaker 1: the end zone for what very well could be a

160
00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:48,880
Speaker 1: walkoff winner. Twenty three seconds left on the clock. Flag's

161
00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:52,920
Speaker 1: thrown after the play an eligible man downfield, Richard, How

162
00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:55,360
Speaker 1: in the world does this happen?

163
00:08:56,400 --> 00:09:01,240
Speaker 3: It's clearly a mistake on Brad Allen's port, just going

164
00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:04,600
Speaker 3: through routine and not actually singing and listening to how

165
00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:11,040
Speaker 3: the Lions wanted to negotiate this eligible receiver. Clearly, you

166
00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:14,800
Speaker 3: see Piney Soul and Decker walking up to him. You

167
00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:18,360
Speaker 3: clearly see the swing tackle coming onto the field and

168
00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:22,319
Speaker 3: him running away before there's even an real interaction between

169
00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:25,720
Speaker 3: he and Decker. So he's just assuming, Hey, the swing

170
00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:27,400
Speaker 3: tackle's coming in. I know what you guys are about

171
00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:30,640
Speaker 3: to tell me. He's assuming. It's very presumptuous. Hey, he's

172
00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:33,520
Speaker 3: the guy reporting eligible. He's the guy doing this. And

173
00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:35,559
Speaker 3: Decker was trying to do it in the most subtle way,

174
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:36,880
Speaker 3: so you could see him trying to do it with

175
00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:39,280
Speaker 3: kind of like one hand like on his belly, like, Hey,

176
00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:42,760
Speaker 3: it's me, it's me, I'm reporting eligible. But it doesn't

177
00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:46,680
Speaker 3: seem like Brad Allen got that, and so he went

178
00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:50,160
Speaker 3: with what he thought was happening. Obviously, Dan Campbell said

179
00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:53,480
Speaker 3: he told him before the game, if we go for

180
00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:55,320
Speaker 3: a two point conversion. This is what we're gonna do.

181
00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:57,559
Speaker 3: We're gonna we want him to be eligible, we want

182
00:09:57,559 --> 00:09:59,959
Speaker 3: the other guy to be eligible, and we'll go about it.

183
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:03,720
Speaker 3: And so it was really weird. It was a very

184
00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:07,080
Speaker 3: bizarre play because Decker was not covered up on the

185
00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:10,480
Speaker 3: play as you would assume an eligible tackle, I mean,

186
00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:13,600
Speaker 3: an ineligible tackle would be. He'd be covered up by

187
00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:16,360
Speaker 3: a wide receiver. The receiver was off the ball, the

188
00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:19,240
Speaker 3: receiver checked with the referee. If the receiver, that same

189
00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:22,200
Speaker 3: referee is the one who called ineligible man downfield, which

190
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:25,640
Speaker 3: is odd. Which is odd because after you check, they

191
00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:28,559
Speaker 3: would say you're off the ball, there's not a tight

192
00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:32,480
Speaker 3: end there, flag that's illegal formation. But they didn't say that,

193
00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:35,200
Speaker 3: which tells me they thought it was a legal formation

194
00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:37,400
Speaker 3: until they went down the field, which is you know,

195
00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:41,520
Speaker 3: it leaves a lot of question marks. But at the

196
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:46,560
Speaker 3: end of the day, they gave it to Dallas, and

197
00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:49,360
Speaker 3: Dallas is likely going to have another home game now.

198
00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:53,319
Speaker 3: Dak Prescott played an incredible game twenty six, a thirty

199
00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:57,080
Speaker 3: eight to three forty five two touchdown ceedee Lamb broke

200
00:10:57,320 --> 00:11:01,280
Speaker 3: the record for a wide receivers in Dallas. The regular

201
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:06,640
Speaker 3: season record for yardage, breaking Michael Irvin's record that he

202
00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:10,160
Speaker 3: set multiple times. He had two hundred and twenty seven

203
00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:11,920
Speaker 3: yards in the game, a career high. He had a

204
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:16,320
Speaker 3: ninety five yard reception, also a career and franchise high

205
00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:19,520
Speaker 3: for the Dallas Cowboys. It was an incredible game for him.

206
00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:21,280
Speaker 3: He was he was out there cooking. They had no

207
00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:23,679
Speaker 3: answers for him, and that has to be concerned and

208
00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:29,160
Speaker 3: going forward. Because on the other side, Jared Golf he

209
00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:32,640
Speaker 3: played okay. He had two interceptions, very costly interception on

210
00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:35,000
Speaker 3: that out route late in the game, but again they

211
00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:39,040
Speaker 3: still had had a chance late. Jamier Gibbs played solid.

212
00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:43,079
Speaker 3: He combined with David Montgomery played a really good game.

213
00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:45,920
Speaker 3: I think they both had impacts. I'mon Ross, Satan Brown

214
00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:48,000
Speaker 3: played a good game. Your guy, Sam Laporter played a

215
00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:51,800
Speaker 3: good game. But and then Aiden Hutchison three sacks. I

216
00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:53,360
Speaker 3: mean he had a third of his sacks in this

217
00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:55,439
Speaker 3: one game. Mitchell, he was he was all over the place,

218
00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:58,000
Speaker 3: but you have to be able to cover him. If

219
00:11:58,000 --> 00:11:59,800
Speaker 3: Cedee Lamb is their guy and he was their guy

220
00:11:59,840 --> 00:12:02,680
Speaker 3: going on end. Again, it goes back to Aaron Glenn

221
00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:04,520
Speaker 3: and his defense, Like what are you thinking there? Was

222
00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:07,080
Speaker 3: a play where they went zero, they went zero coverage,

223
00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:08,920
Speaker 3: and the guy closed his eyes in the end zone

224
00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:10,560
Speaker 3: where it could have been a safety. You talk about

225
00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:12,720
Speaker 3: a two point ball game, they lose by one point,

226
00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:16,439
Speaker 3: and you you that's a what a nine point swing,

227
00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:18,920
Speaker 3: a eight point swing, whatever it is, when you could

228
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:21,600
Speaker 3: have had a safety, but instead you give up seven points.

229
00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:24,240
Speaker 3: I think at the end of the day, that was

230
00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:26,240
Speaker 3: the difference in the ball game because that swung the

231
00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:28,520
Speaker 3: momentum in a different way. You talk about a safety

232
00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:30,160
Speaker 3: where you get the ball back and you give your

233
00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:32,160
Speaker 3: offense the ball back and the momentum is going your

234
00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:35,160
Speaker 3: way and you're making them feel away, but instead it's

235
00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:38,200
Speaker 3: a touchdown against zero coverage. And so that was a

236
00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:41,000
Speaker 3: huge mistake by them. But you got to give credit

237
00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:43,240
Speaker 3: to Dallas. You got to think about their fans and

238
00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:45,800
Speaker 3: how they're feeling and how they went from thinking they

239
00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:48,080
Speaker 3: lost this game and they're the fifth seed, and they

240
00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:50,240
Speaker 3: got a lot of questions to be an answer to

241
00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:54,200
Speaker 3: a flag changing that they get the win. Philadelphia goes

242
00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:58,080
Speaker 3: and loses at home to the Arizona Cardinals, which gives

243
00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:00,560
Speaker 3: them the two seed now and it gives them a

244
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:03,720
Speaker 3: home playoff game. I mean, you can't feel better than

245
00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:07,600
Speaker 3: them right now. Okay, football season is finally here, and

266
00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:28,920
Speaker 1: It's just wild, I mean, that's why this Brad Allen

267
00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:33,360
Speaker 1: controversial call. It changes everything rich and it also changes

268
00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:35,880
Speaker 1: the San Francisco forty nine ers having a bye week

269
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:38,800
Speaker 1: next week because otherwise they'd have to beat the Rams,

270
00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:40,760
Speaker 1: you know, otherwise, you know, the Lions could get the

271
00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:43,360
Speaker 1: number one overall seed. There's a lot of what ifs

272
00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:45,840
Speaker 1: in this game. I mean, the Lions elected to go

273
00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:47,760
Speaker 1: for it on fourth and goal instead of kicking a

274
00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:50,520
Speaker 1: field goal earlier in the game, which would inevitably been

275
00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:51,800
Speaker 1: a difference maker for him.

276
00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:53,840
Speaker 2: You know, obviously after Dan.

277
00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:57,560
Speaker 1: Dan Campbell got the flag on the ineligible touching an

278
00:14:57,600 --> 00:15:00,880
Speaker 1: eligible man down field, you know they could have kicked

279
00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:02,680
Speaker 1: the field goal or extra point to go to ot

280
00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:05,480
Speaker 1: is a lot of what ifs, But the Lions DNA,

281
00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:06,280
Speaker 1: they don't care.

282
00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:06,560
Speaker 3: Man.

283
00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:09,120
Speaker 1: They're gonna take risks, They're gonna take shots. And the

284
00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:11,640
Speaker 1: reality is, if they can get out of this first round,

285
00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:13,600
Speaker 1: if both these teams can get out of the first round,

286
00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:16,240
Speaker 1: we're gonna have a replay of this exact same game,

287
00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:20,000
Speaker 1: and Brad Allen's input in it will be irrelevant. The

288
00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:22,200
Speaker 1: biggest hurdle will be the Lions have to go down

289
00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:24,920
Speaker 1: to Dallas versus the Cowboys having to come up to Detroit.

290
00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:27,800
Speaker 1: But Richard, let's move on here, because we could talk

291
00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:30,840
Speaker 1: about this game all day. It's certainly the biggest talked

292
00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:34,800
Speaker 1: about game this weekend. Let's move to Philly because Philly

293
00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:37,200
Speaker 1: loses a game they had a lot to win. Here.

294
00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:39,760
Speaker 1: I mean, this is locking up the division, you know,

295
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:43,240
Speaker 1: getting that two seed, and Philly loses. Now they're one

296
00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:45,480
Speaker 1: in four in the past five games. This team has

297
00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:48,480
Speaker 1: lost their identity, or so it seems. I don't know

298
00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:50,800
Speaker 1: who I'm even watching with these Eagles anymore. They don't

299
00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:54,520
Speaker 1: scare me, they don't clearly don't scare their opposition. Richard,

300
00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:55,960
Speaker 1: can you explain this at all?

301
00:15:56,520 --> 00:16:00,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, It's just their confidence has collapsed since the game

302
00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:04,240
Speaker 3: and then consequently the Dallas game, and then you just

303
00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:07,080
Speaker 3: saw the rails kind of coming off the Seattle game.

304
00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:09,200
Speaker 3: They go to Seattle and take that loss, and then

305
00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:12,000
Speaker 3: they take this loss. The win, even the win against

306
00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:14,680
Speaker 3: the Giants didn't feel great. You know, Tyrod has a

307
00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:17,960
Speaker 3: chance with a hell Mary pass and in the end

308
00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:19,960
Speaker 3: zone they only win by eight. You know, it wasn't

309
00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:22,240
Speaker 3: a game where you just felt like they were in control.

310
00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:25,160
Speaker 3: They felt dominant, and a lot of their wins this season,

311
00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:28,400
Speaker 3: even against very good opponents, were close games. You know,

312
00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:31,680
Speaker 3: they played everybody pretty close, which is which wears on

313
00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:35,600
Speaker 3: you after a while. Hearts has thirty eight touchdowns, has

314
00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:40,120
Speaker 3: an Eagles franchise record for touchdowns, which is cool. But again,

315
00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:44,680
Speaker 3: this NFC East, there's a reason that there hasn't been

316
00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:48,960
Speaker 3: a repeat NFC East champion for a very long time,

317
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:50,960
Speaker 3: and it doesn't look like there will be this year.

318
00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:54,800
Speaker 3: With what just happened. They had a small possibility at

319
00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:57,760
Speaker 3: having it for the Philadelphia Eagles, but they watched it

320
00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:01,200
Speaker 3: against Arizona Cardinals, who scored on on for their second

321
00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:05,160
Speaker 3: half possessions, who battled all game long. And again they

322
00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:08,160
Speaker 3: continue to run the ball well and set a foundation

323
00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:10,960
Speaker 3: for the future that seems like they're gonna be a

324
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:14,080
Speaker 3: pretty formidable team regardless of how they are in the future.

325
00:17:14,119 --> 00:17:16,639
Speaker 3: With a good defense, they get some more pieces and

326
00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:20,119
Speaker 3: some more offensive weapons, and they're going to be very formidable.

327
00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:23,720
Speaker 3: I mean, James Connor twenty six for eight in a touchdown.

328
00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:28,600
Speaker 3: Dersch has seven catches for eighty two yards. Kyler twenty

329
00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:31,720
Speaker 3: five thirty one, two thirty two, three touchdowns in the interception,

330
00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:36,440
Speaker 3: and they just kept battling. The Eagles were up twenty

331
00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:38,720
Speaker 3: one to six at the half, and you thought, all right,

332
00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:40,600
Speaker 3: this is gonna be the game. They kind of get

333
00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:45,600
Speaker 3: away the game everybody's expecting them to have. But no, no,

334
00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:49,040
Speaker 3: they they found a way to get ways to get stops.

335
00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:53,760
Speaker 3: Gannon's defense is finding ways to get stops, and you

336
00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:58,080
Speaker 3: wonder where Philly goes from here. They don't have confidence,

337
00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:01,440
Speaker 3: they don't have an identity offense. We talked about for

338
00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:04,480
Speaker 3: weeks how predictable this offense is. How you know, we

339
00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:08,640
Speaker 3: had Christian McCaffrey on a Monday night football broadcast predicting

340
00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:11,280
Speaker 3: a play that they were gonna run based off the formation,

341
00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:13,320
Speaker 3: based off where the tight end was a line. If

342
00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:16,119
Speaker 3: you have a running back on the opposite team being

343
00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:18,119
Speaker 3: able to call out your plays, then that's a problem.

344
00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:19,960
Speaker 3: He's not on the defense. He's not a guy that's

345
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:22,760
Speaker 3: studying their offense and trying to find ways to stop it.

346
00:18:23,040 --> 00:18:25,399
Speaker 3: He just was sitting there watching the game and he's like,

347
00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:29,240
Speaker 3: this looks like a formation that i've seen before, and

348
00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:31,959
Speaker 3: maybe I've seen it this game, And when your offense

349
00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:34,680
Speaker 3: is depth predictable in the NFL, and you get down

350
00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:37,320
Speaker 3: a stretch of these December ball games, then you're gonna

351
00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:39,119
Speaker 3: have a hard time. And especially in a playoffs. The

352
00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:42,040
Speaker 3: playoffs is gonna get really ugly because defenses, we don't

353
00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:44,480
Speaker 3: have anything else to do but study every game. You

354
00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:48,040
Speaker 3: got your good stuff, your bad stuff, your trick plays,

355
00:18:48,359 --> 00:18:51,880
Speaker 3: your tendencies, all your tendencies are out there. So nobody's

356
00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:54,040
Speaker 3: really getting surprised in the playoffs unless you make up

357
00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:56,320
Speaker 3: a few plays. Everybody has a few wrinkles here and there,

358
00:18:56,359 --> 00:18:58,879
Speaker 3: but nobody's getting surprised. So if you don't have a

359
00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:02,480
Speaker 3: foundation that fundamentally driven where you can say, hey, we

360
00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:05,119
Speaker 3: can just run what we do well and have success,

361
00:19:05,160 --> 00:19:07,239
Speaker 3: you're going to struggle. And that's what they're struggling with

362
00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:11,160
Speaker 3: is they don't have anything that they do incredibly well

363
00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:12,960
Speaker 3: that you could say, hey, this is where we're gonna

364
00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:15,520
Speaker 3: hang our hat because nobody's gonna be able to stop

365
00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:16,320
Speaker 3: us from doing this.

366
00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:17,760
Speaker 2: No doubt.

367
00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:20,280
Speaker 1: And you've seen it throughout the years, Rich, I mean,

368
00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:23,800
Speaker 1: when the wildcat was introduced into the NFL, it screwed

369
00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:26,280
Speaker 1: with defensives mind for about a season season and a half,

370
00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:28,840
Speaker 1: and then people figured out when the RPO was introduced,

371
00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:31,480
Speaker 1: screw with people's heads for a year, year and a half.

372
00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:33,399
Speaker 1: You know, that's when you saw Lamar Jackson and the

373
00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:35,720
Speaker 1: Baltimore Ravens really take this league by storm. And then

374
00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:38,320
Speaker 1: people sort of slowly figured out the SAME's going on

375
00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:41,520
Speaker 1: with these Eagles, and they're just so predictable. They're not

376
00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:43,760
Speaker 1: a fun team to watch offensively right now. And I

377
00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:46,880
Speaker 1: know they're having their struggles defensively as well without Slaying

378
00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:50,520
Speaker 1: there and some other key injuries. But the reality is, man,

379
00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:52,200
Speaker 1: if they can get out of the first round, they're

380
00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:54,480
Speaker 1: going to play an NFC South team, you know, whether

381
00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:56,600
Speaker 1: it be the Bucks or the Saints. That isn't going

382
00:19:56,680 --> 00:19:58,640
Speaker 1: to be an easy out with the way these Eagles

383
00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:00,919
Speaker 1: teams playing. And then, Richard, they're going to have to

384
00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:03,720
Speaker 1: go on the road more unlikely to San Francisco, and

385
00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:06,120
Speaker 1: they're going to get the breaks beat off of them.

386
00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:08,639
Speaker 1: I mean, that's just a cold hard reality of it.

387
00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:10,760
Speaker 1: I mean, I can I'm not a forecaster here, rich

388
00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:13,520
Speaker 1: but I'm telling you it's looking like an early exit

389
00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:15,719
Speaker 1: with the way this team's playing right now unless they

390
00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:18,160
Speaker 1: can fix it quick and it's got to be really

391
00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:18,800
Speaker 1: really quick.

392
00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:21,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, it has to be really really quick, and it doesn't.

393
00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:27,120
Speaker 3: There aren't any obvious answers. You thought, oh, okay, they're

394
00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:30,200
Speaker 3: going to switch from Sean to side and Matt Patrician.

395
00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:32,440
Speaker 3: That's going to solve all their als. No, you knew

396
00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:36,560
Speaker 3: that wasn't. That wasn't. There's a fundamental issue within this defense.

397
00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:38,879
Speaker 3: And I can't even put my because the talent along

398
00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:42,000
Speaker 3: the D line is there. You have veterans and Fletcher

399
00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:46,920
Speaker 3: Cox and Brandon Graham, you have young guys and Jordan

400
00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:50,200
Speaker 3: Davis and Jalen Carter, Hassan Reddick and what all the

401
00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:54,280
Speaker 3: chaos he calls last year, Josh Swtt, you knew the

402
00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:57,520
Speaker 3: linebacker position was a point of weakness, but you thought

403
00:20:57,520 --> 00:20:59,720
Speaker 3: the secondary was a strength. And they've been having a

404
00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:02,600
Speaker 3: rough time. They've been giving up some yards in the

405
00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:06,840
Speaker 3: back end, and so offensively again, you thought this offensive

406
00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:08,840
Speaker 3: line is strong. They're gonna at least be able to

407
00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:11,200
Speaker 3: run the ball with DeAndre Swift and he's big monsters

408
00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:14,960
Speaker 3: up front. That hasn't been the case all day. Always open,

409
00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:19,600
Speaker 3: AJ Brown and Devonte Smith. They they've had impact in

410
00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:22,280
Speaker 3: these games. But that hasn't been the case. Jalen Hurts

411
00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:25,080
Speaker 3: is looking like a shale of himself. So it's everything.

412
00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:28,359
Speaker 3: All their strength ye have turned into question marks and

413
00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:31,560
Speaker 3: that's been the problem. And I don't know where they

414
00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:32,120
Speaker 3: go from here.

415
00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:36,080
Speaker 1: There's a lot of questions in Philly. There was a

416
00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:38,800
Speaker 1: lot of questions in Kansas City too leading into this game.

417
00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:41,120
Speaker 1: They're able to get a win, you know, they're able

418
00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:43,400
Speaker 1: to clinch the AFC West, which is big for them.

419
00:21:43,520 --> 00:21:47,560
Speaker 1: You know, Rashi Rice was heavily involved. Kansas City beats

420
00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:51,160
Speaker 1: a scrappy Cincinnati Bengals team also desperate for a win.

421
00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:54,520
Speaker 1: And I don't know the exact playoff breakdown, but I

422
00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:58,360
Speaker 1: would assume this eliminates since he from contention, Richard, your

423
00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:00,760
Speaker 1: thoughts on this game, Kansas City, he walks away with

424
00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:04,120
Speaker 1: a twenty five to seventeen win at home. Have they

425
00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:07,080
Speaker 1: right right at this ship, this this rocky boat that

426
00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:09,800
Speaker 1: they've been cruising along for the last few weeks.

427
00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:13,240
Speaker 3: I mean, I guess you know they You know, the

428
00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:16,680
Speaker 3: Cincinnati team had been playing better, Jake Browning had been

429
00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:20,760
Speaker 3: playing really good football, giving them a chance at the playoffs.

430
00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:24,399
Speaker 3: But I don't know the Kansas City Chiefs have been

431
00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:27,800
Speaker 3: kind of jackling high. It looks like they may have

432
00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:32,159
Speaker 3: found some rhythm between Patrick Mahoons and Rashi Rice this

433
00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:35,560
Speaker 3: game where they're pushing the ball down the field and

434
00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:39,760
Speaker 3: having a success. But I don't know, Mitchell, I've never

435
00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:42,800
Speaker 3: seen them this inconsistent. Patrick Mahoons still had a good

436
00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:44,960
Speaker 3: game twenty one of twenty nine two forty five in

437
00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:47,679
Speaker 3: a touchdown. This will be the first time in what

438
00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:51,600
Speaker 3: five years that the AFC Championship doesn't just go through

439
00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:55,400
Speaker 3: Arrowhead Stadium as it has. They'll get their home game,

440
00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:59,920
Speaker 3: but they will likely be traveling to Baltimore or I mean,

441
00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:04,360
Speaker 3: they could be traveling a few places after that if

442
00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:06,520
Speaker 3: they have to play whoever the two seed is, because

443
00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:07,959
Speaker 3: I'm not sure they're going to be able to get

444
00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:11,080
Speaker 3: the two seed. Maybe they'd be going to Miami. That'd

445
00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:15,160
Speaker 3: be a good game, but I don't know. I mean,

446
00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:18,440
Speaker 3: Isaiah Pacheko had one of his best games eighteen rushes

447
00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:21,760
Speaker 3: for one hundred and thirty yards, but it just didn't

448
00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:24,320
Speaker 3: feel like the dominant Kansas City team that you've known.

449
00:23:25,119 --> 00:23:27,439
Speaker 3: Their defense turned it around in the second half and

450
00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:30,639
Speaker 3: started to get some stops, but early on it just

451
00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:33,639
Speaker 3: looked like that both teams were just exchanging shots. They

452
00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:37,919
Speaker 3: shot here, shot here, shot here, And that's what I

453
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:40,359
Speaker 3: don't I thought that this defense was one of the

454
00:23:40,359 --> 00:23:43,560
Speaker 3: best in the National Football League and in the AFC.

455
00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:45,800
Speaker 3: They definitely had been showing that. And I don't know

456
00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:49,280
Speaker 3: what they're becoming right now, but hopefully next week they

457
00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:51,760
Speaker 3: can get it get back on track. Versus the Chargers.

458
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:55,680
Speaker 3: I'm sure the playoff seeding is kind of already decided.

459
00:23:55,720 --> 00:23:57,520
Speaker 3: I'm not sure if they still have a little bit

460
00:23:57,560 --> 00:24:00,600
Speaker 3: of movement left. It looks like the Bengals are eliminated.

461
00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:03,479
Speaker 3: The Broncos are now eliminated, even with their win today

462
00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:08,639
Speaker 3: in the AFC West. So I don't I don't know.

463
00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:11,159
Speaker 3: This Kansas City Chiefs team is kind of a mystery

464
00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:13,520
Speaker 3: right now. We'll see because Patrick Mahoon's in the playoffs,

465
00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:14,520
Speaker 3: you can't count him out.

466
00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:17,320
Speaker 1: There's gonna be a lot to talk about next week.

467
00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:20,320
Speaker 1: But this team's lost their explosiveness offensively. I think that's

468
00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:22,040
Speaker 1: just the reality of it. Rich And I mean, they're

469
00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:25,280
Speaker 1: gonna be faced, you know, obviously a home a home

470
00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:28,040
Speaker 1: matchup in the playoffs, but they're gonna be playing either

471
00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:31,600
Speaker 1: the Miami Dolphins, Cleveland Browns. You know, Buffalo Bills one

472
00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:32,960
Speaker 1: of those three teams.

473
00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:34,720
Speaker 2: And I don't.

474
00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:37,320
Speaker 1: I don't think it's easy to say they're going to

475
00:24:37,359 --> 00:24:39,320
Speaker 1: beat any of them right now. So this is going

476
00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:41,840
Speaker 1: to be a first in a long time in Kansas City.

477
00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:45,680
Speaker 1: We shall see if Patrick Mahomes can rise to the occasion.

478
00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:50,320
Speaker 1: But Richard, this freight train in Baltimore just keeps on

479
00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:54,960
Speaker 1: chugging along. If there's any doubt who the best team

480
00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:57,359
Speaker 1: in football is right now, I don't think you have

481
00:24:57,440 --> 00:25:00,879
Speaker 1: to look very far because it's Baltimore. And I know

482
00:25:01,119 --> 00:25:03,960
Speaker 1: you love the San Francisco forty nine ers, and rightfully so.

483
00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:06,080
Speaker 1: I mean, they are a juggernaut in their own right.

484
00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:08,800
Speaker 1: But what Baltimore did to them last week and what

485
00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:11,919
Speaker 1: they did to Miami this week, it's hard to overlook

486
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:15,560
Speaker 1: this team anymore. Richard, your thoughts on the Baltimore Ravens

487
00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:19,360
Speaker 1: winning fifty six to nineteen over the Miami Dolphins.

488
00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:22,920
Speaker 3: I mean, Mitchell, they put a whooping on the Miami Dolphins,

489
00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:27,080
Speaker 3: and it was close, close ish early on. There were

490
00:25:27,119 --> 00:25:29,600
Speaker 3: a few mishaps by the Miami Dolphins. I think Tyreek

491
00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:32,120
Speaker 3: dropped the touchdown pass that ended up being a field goal,

492
00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:36,240
Speaker 3: but from that point forward, the Baltimore Ravens put their

493
00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:38,560
Speaker 3: foot on the necks and their foot on the gas

494
00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:42,680
Speaker 3: and they pulled away. Lamar Jackson had two fifty five

495
00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:44,920
Speaker 3: in the first half. He ended up with three twenty

496
00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:47,840
Speaker 3: one eighteen of twenty one, only had three incompletions, had

497
00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:51,720
Speaker 3: more touchdown passes than in completions in the game, a

498
00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:55,560
Speaker 3: perfect one p fifty eight points three passer rating. He

499
00:25:55,640 --> 00:25:58,960
Speaker 3: ran the ball six times for thirty eight yards. Gus

500
00:25:59,080 --> 00:26:02,000
Speaker 3: Edwards had his fair share of rush at sixteen for

501
00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:04,679
Speaker 3: sixty eight yards and a touchdown. Za Flowers with his

502
00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:08,200
Speaker 3: first one hundred yard receiving game in the National Football League,

503
00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:11,520
Speaker 3: and it almost all came on one play, a long

504
00:26:11,600 --> 00:26:15,520
Speaker 3: touchdown pass on a don pretty pass from Lamar Jackson.

505
00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:19,720
Speaker 3: Kyle Vanoy with a sack in the game, career high

506
00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:22,520
Speaker 3: eight sacks for him. They picked him up off the

507
00:26:22,560 --> 00:26:26,000
Speaker 3: streets mid season Mitchell, and he has been a revelation

508
00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:29,360
Speaker 3: for them in this pass rush. Another guy who's been

509
00:26:29,680 --> 00:26:34,400
Speaker 3: incredible for them has been Roekwan Smith who had an interception,

510
00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:38,879
Speaker 3: Geno Stone with another interception. Isaiah Likely only had two catches,

511
00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:41,280
Speaker 3: but one of them was a beautiful catch on a

512
00:26:41,320 --> 00:26:43,800
Speaker 3: fourth down pass of one handed pass that he takes

513
00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:47,040
Speaker 3: for a touchdown that really started to break the game open.

514
00:26:49,119 --> 00:26:51,600
Speaker 3: They look like the class of the AFC, in the

515
00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:54,679
Speaker 3: class of the league right now, on their way to

516
00:26:54,760 --> 00:26:57,199
Speaker 3: the obviously the number one seed. We'll see how the

517
00:26:57,200 --> 00:27:00,840
Speaker 3: playoffs go, but they're gonna be a tough team to beat.

518
00:27:00,840 --> 00:27:04,760
Speaker 3: They're gonna be a tough out. Miami Dolphins, who were

519
00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:08,760
Speaker 3: kind of flying and getting a lot of respect, stumbled

520
00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:11,440
Speaker 3: a lot this game to a tongue of Baila, two interceptions,

521
00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:17,560
Speaker 3: the two touchdown passes. Devin A. Chain had fourteen catches,

522
00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:19,960
Speaker 3: I mean fourteen rushers for one oh seven four receptions

523
00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:23,439
Speaker 3: for thirty yards, but Tyreek Hill only six catches for

524
00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:26,399
Speaker 3: seventy six yards. He was on that pace still doesn't

525
00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:30,920
Speaker 3: look one hundred percent, so unlikely to get the awards

526
00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:35,960
Speaker 3: that he was in line to be chasing. Bradley Chubb

527
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:38,359
Speaker 3: looked like he may have torn his acl which you

528
00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:43,600
Speaker 3: hate to see. So yeah, without waddle and without moster, obviously,

529
00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:45,280
Speaker 3: I don't even know if those guys played, if they

530
00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:47,000
Speaker 3: would have made much of a difference. This team is

531
00:27:47,040 --> 00:27:49,760
Speaker 3: just rolling. They're they're running the ball well, they're throwing

532
00:27:49,760 --> 00:27:53,159
Speaker 3: the ball well. Defensively, they're putting a lot of pressure

533
00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:56,200
Speaker 3: on the quarterback from a lot of different places. Uh.

534
00:27:56,240 --> 00:27:58,399
Speaker 3: And so Mitchell, you gotta get You got to give

535
00:27:58,480 --> 00:27:59,480
Speaker 3: him all the cread in the world.

536
00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:05,400
Speaker 1: Well, unlike the Philadelphia Eagles, man, this team, this Baltimore

537
00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:07,840
Speaker 1: Ravens team is the furthest thing for predictable.

538
00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:09,200
Speaker 2: I mean, they can do it all.

539
00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:13,400
Speaker 1: They're aggressive as all get out defensively, offensively, I mean

540
00:28:13,480 --> 00:28:16,440
Speaker 1: they are beyond the lead. They can hit you from

541
00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:18,919
Speaker 1: all Soon everyone thought what Mark Andrews went out, this

542
00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:22,520
Speaker 1: team was gonna slide a little bit. Isaiah Likely coming

543
00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:26,320
Speaker 1: out of nowhere at Coastal Carolina prospect just doing his thing,

544
00:28:26,359 --> 00:28:30,359
Speaker 1: looking looking like a very very good rising star in

545
00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:32,159
Speaker 1: this league at this point. But Richard, I'm here to

546
00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:34,280
Speaker 1: ask the tough questions. You know, you know that's why

547
00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:37,639
Speaker 1: I'm here, rich here for Mitchell. You know you have

548
00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:42,440
Speaker 1: not been on this Lamar Jackson MVP hype train over

549
00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:45,400
Speaker 1: the last couple of weeks. You've been a proponent against it,

550
00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:50,480
Speaker 1: if you will. And Richard, I got to ask you,

551
00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:52,320
Speaker 1: what does this guy got to do to prove to

552
00:28:52,360 --> 00:28:55,520
Speaker 1: you that he's a worthy you know, recipient of an

553
00:28:55,600 --> 00:28:56,440
Speaker 1: MVP award.

554
00:28:56,960 --> 00:28:59,600
Speaker 3: Well, Mitchell, you have five touchdown passes in the game,

555
00:28:59,800 --> 00:29:02,120
Speaker 3: and that's what we needed to see all season. We

556
00:29:02,160 --> 00:29:04,040
Speaker 3: need to see a lot more touchdown passes. He had

557
00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:07,320
Speaker 3: more touchdown passes in this game, Mitchell, than he had

558
00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:10,680
Speaker 3: the whole month of September and the whole month of

559
00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:13,600
Speaker 3: November and all the games he played in seven games.

560
00:29:13,640 --> 00:29:17,000
Speaker 3: Those seven games, Mitchell, he had six touchdown passes in

561
00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:21,080
Speaker 3: this game alone. He had five, and so that's what

562
00:29:21,120 --> 00:29:23,920
Speaker 3: we needed to see more of. That's the only argument

563
00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:27,000
Speaker 3: against his MVP case is that the touchdown numbers aren't there.

564
00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:31,280
Speaker 3: This game he showed both with his legs, with his arms,

565
00:29:31,280 --> 00:29:35,000
Speaker 3: he's executing from the pocket. He got the yardage. But again, Mitchell,

566
00:29:35,040 --> 00:29:38,280
Speaker 3: that's twenty four touchdown passes now on the season, and

567
00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:40,560
Speaker 3: it just hasn't happened in a very long time. I

568
00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:42,200
Speaker 3: think a couple of years ago. You know, they keep

569
00:29:42,200 --> 00:29:44,320
Speaker 3: bringing up some Peyton Manning stat where he had twenty

570
00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:47,320
Speaker 3: eight where he got it over Brady that year with

571
00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:52,040
Speaker 3: only twenty eight touchdown passes, But that was fifteen years ago. Now,

572
00:29:52,200 --> 00:29:56,040
Speaker 3: the last five MVPs, nobody has had less than Lamar's

573
00:29:56,080 --> 00:30:01,320
Speaker 3: thirty five and Aaron had thirty eight. Last year, Mahomes

574
00:30:01,360 --> 00:30:05,520
Speaker 3: had forty one touchdowns and twelve interceptions, and so everybody

575
00:30:05,560 --> 00:30:08,040
Speaker 3: was brought bringing up the clip where I was like, man,

576
00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:10,320
Speaker 3: you know, Hurts, Hurts is doing a lot for his

577
00:30:10,400 --> 00:30:12,520
Speaker 3: team and he deserves it. He deserves a shot at

578
00:30:12,560 --> 00:30:14,720
Speaker 3: And they're like, look, you said something about Hurts and

579
00:30:14,760 --> 00:30:17,200
Speaker 3: I was like yeah, and then Mahomes got it with

580
00:30:17,320 --> 00:30:21,680
Speaker 3: forty one touchdowns in twelve interceptions. So that's the thing.

581
00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:24,720
Speaker 3: The numbers had to be there. They were not there

582
00:30:24,720 --> 00:30:29,160
Speaker 3: for Jalen Hurts, regardless of the seeding or whatever what

583
00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:32,040
Speaker 3: the case may be. He didn't have the numbers in

584
00:30:32,120 --> 00:30:34,520
Speaker 3: terms of touchdown passes. They had the number one record

585
00:30:34,560 --> 00:30:37,240
Speaker 3: in the NFC, but he did not have the touchdown

586
00:30:37,280 --> 00:30:40,400
Speaker 3: pass numbers. Mahomes did, and that's why Mahomes got the award.

587
00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:43,120
Speaker 3: And so people were like, you're hating, You're hating. I'm

588
00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:45,840
Speaker 3: just going off with the way they described this award

589
00:30:45,840 --> 00:30:47,960
Speaker 3: and the way they've picked this award for the past

590
00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:50,480
Speaker 3: five six years, and it's been the guy with the

591
00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:53,080
Speaker 3: most touchdown passes, well, not the most touchdown passes, but

592
00:30:53,120 --> 00:30:55,120
Speaker 3: you got to have at least over thirty. And you

593
00:30:55,200 --> 00:30:58,680
Speaker 3: cannot show me a situation outside of fifteen years ago

594
00:30:58,840 --> 00:31:02,040
Speaker 3: where they gave it to to Peyton, where guy's getting

595
00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:04,280
Speaker 3: it with less than thirty touchdown passes in its day

596
00:31:04,280 --> 00:31:06,600
Speaker 3: and age. But this could be a new Daan age.

597
00:31:06,640 --> 00:31:09,360
Speaker 3: This could be the one that changed at all, because

598
00:31:09,400 --> 00:31:12,440
Speaker 3: he is the heavy betting favorite right now and they'll

599
00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:15,320
Speaker 3: probably give it to him because you talk about Tyreek

600
00:31:15,400 --> 00:31:17,400
Speaker 3: Keel who had a chance at it kind of falling

601
00:31:17,440 --> 00:31:20,120
Speaker 3: off the map. He didn't play one of the games

602
00:31:20,120 --> 00:31:22,440
Speaker 3: and then the other two he had under one hundred yards.

603
00:31:22,520 --> 00:31:25,280
Speaker 3: Christian McCaffrey didn't finish this last game for the San

604
00:31:25,280 --> 00:31:28,120
Speaker 3: Francisco forty nine ers, so his production dropped off. Even

605
00:31:28,160 --> 00:31:31,000
Speaker 3: though he got a touchdown. He's still one touchdown away

606
00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:35,480
Speaker 3: from tying Jerry Rice's franchise record of twenty three touchdowns

607
00:31:35,520 --> 00:31:40,720
Speaker 3: in a season, so that the chances are there. But again,

608
00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:43,120
Speaker 3: when you talk about the numbers that I'm talking about

609
00:31:43,120 --> 00:31:45,280
Speaker 3: and the things that I've argued, it's still an accurate

610
00:31:45,280 --> 00:31:48,280
Speaker 3: discussion where you say, hey, twenty four touchdown passes over

611
00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:52,440
Speaker 3: sixteen over sixteen games, isn't as impressive as some of

612
00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:55,880
Speaker 3: the other things we've seen from MVP years. So you

613
00:31:55,880 --> 00:31:58,520
Speaker 3: can argue to death, you can say, hey, the intangibles

614
00:31:58,520 --> 00:32:01,280
Speaker 3: are there, his impact on the game, his impact on defenses,

615
00:32:01,440 --> 00:32:04,200
Speaker 3: the way he controls the game, no question about it,

616
00:32:04,280 --> 00:32:06,400
Speaker 3: that's not ever in question. Lamar Jackson is one of

617
00:32:06,400 --> 00:32:08,360
Speaker 3: the greatest players in this game and one of the

618
00:32:08,400 --> 00:32:12,080
Speaker 3: most unique players in the history of this game. But again,

619
00:32:12,160 --> 00:32:14,840
Speaker 3: Mitchell that the numbers are what the numbers are.

620
00:32:15,560 --> 00:32:17,720
Speaker 1: Well, you know the next follow up question that's gonna

621
00:32:17,720 --> 00:32:20,560
Speaker 1: come is if it's not him, then who And everyone

622
00:32:20,600 --> 00:32:23,800
Speaker 1: else's mind immediately goes to the quarterback position. You know, Oh,

623
00:32:23,960 --> 00:32:27,840
Speaker 1: you know Mahomes, Josh Allen, Jalen Hurts, you know, et cetera.

624
00:32:27,960 --> 00:32:31,200
Speaker 1: Haven't been putting on MVP seasons either. We're forgetting all

625
00:32:31,240 --> 00:32:35,560
Speaker 1: the other skill position non quarterback players, I mean Tyreek, CMC, etc.

626
00:32:36,240 --> 00:32:38,560
Speaker 1: I think Barry Sanders summed it up best in a

627
00:32:38,600 --> 00:32:41,400
Speaker 1: tweet he had recently when he was a co MVP

628
00:32:42,080 --> 00:32:44,960
Speaker 1: years back. He's like, this is the year that CMC

629
00:32:45,040 --> 00:32:49,680
Speaker 1: wins a co MVP with insert quarterback here. Because it's

630
00:32:49,720 --> 00:32:52,360
Speaker 1: always about the quarterback. It always will forever be about

631
00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:55,200
Speaker 1: the quarterback and Richard at some point in time, like

632
00:32:55,240 --> 00:32:57,000
Speaker 1: you said one hundred times, they're going to have to

633
00:32:57,000 --> 00:32:59,840
Speaker 1: do their best quarterback and their best non quarterback because

634
00:33:00,880 --> 00:33:02,200
Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't know how you don't give

635
00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:05,320
Speaker 1: it to Lamar. But at the same time, it's just

636
00:33:05,360 --> 00:33:08,360
Speaker 1: becoming a quarterback only award and it's kind of unfair.

637
00:33:08,400 --> 00:33:10,800
Speaker 1: But not to make light on Lamar, but he is

638
00:33:10,840 --> 00:33:14,040
Speaker 1: also going to take home this Making Look Easy Player

639
00:33:14,080 --> 00:33:15,920
Speaker 1: of the Week brought to you by Morgan and Morgan,

640
00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:19,120
Speaker 1: America's largest injury law firm. Like we said, Lamar made

641
00:33:19,160 --> 00:33:22,400
Speaker 1: it look super easy against Miami Dolphins. Five touchdowns, three

642
00:33:22,440 --> 00:33:25,840
Speaker 1: hundred twenty one passing yards. He's a third game career.

643
00:33:26,480 --> 00:33:29,400
Speaker 1: It was Lamar's third career game with a perfect passer

644
00:33:29,480 --> 00:33:32,600
Speaker 1: rating TYE for the most in NFL history. So that's

645
00:33:32,640 --> 00:33:35,680
Speaker 1: been this week's Making Look Easy. Brought to you by

646
00:33:35,840 --> 00:33:39,160
Speaker 1: Morgan and Morgan, America's largest injury law firm. If you're

647
00:33:39,160 --> 00:33:43,280
Speaker 1: ever injured, go to fourthpeople dot com, slash Sherman, or

648
00:33:43,360 --> 00:33:47,920
Speaker 1: dial Pound Laws that pound five to nine. Winning in

649
00:33:47,920 --> 00:33:51,000
Speaker 1: this league is hard, but hiring Morgan and Morgan is

650
00:33:51,160 --> 00:33:53,760
Speaker 1: very easy. Rich I don't want to spend too much

651
00:33:53,800 --> 00:33:56,280
Speaker 1: time on this game, but the Buffalo Bills, they get

652
00:33:56,280 --> 00:33:59,120
Speaker 1: a win against the New England Patriots, the lowly New

653
00:33:59,120 --> 00:34:02,880
Speaker 1: England Patriots, and what this win sets up is an

654
00:34:02,880 --> 00:34:06,600
Speaker 1: opportunity to win the division next week against the Miami

655
00:34:06,720 --> 00:34:11,839
Speaker 1: Dolphins on the road against Miami Richard. Buffalo didn't play

656
00:34:11,840 --> 00:34:15,560
Speaker 1: their best game this week by any means. They got

657
00:34:15,560 --> 00:34:19,960
Speaker 1: a six point win, but the Dolphins didn't either, and

658
00:34:20,040 --> 00:34:22,319
Speaker 1: there's going to be a lot going on next week,

659
00:34:22,360 --> 00:34:24,719
Speaker 1: a lot on the line. Who do you like the

660
00:34:24,760 --> 00:34:27,760
Speaker 1: most to win this AFC East Division?

661
00:34:30,160 --> 00:34:32,239
Speaker 3: I mean, I guess Miami Mitchell. This is one of

662
00:34:32,280 --> 00:34:35,520
Speaker 3: those where all the teams are kind of kind of

663
00:34:35,560 --> 00:34:38,879
Speaker 3: limping to the finish line. Was not a great game

664
00:34:38,920 --> 00:34:42,120
Speaker 3: by the Buffalo Beials. Obviously, the Patriots had a good

665
00:34:42,160 --> 00:34:45,399
Speaker 3: plan for him. Josh Allen struggled majority of the game.

666
00:34:45,440 --> 00:34:47,920
Speaker 3: I think he only had forty yards passing in the

667
00:34:47,960 --> 00:34:53,840
Speaker 3: first half. He did have two rushing touchdowns, but didn't

668
00:34:53,840 --> 00:34:57,000
Speaker 3: have a passing touchdown in the game. James Cook sixteen

669
00:34:57,080 --> 00:35:00,520
Speaker 3: rushes forty eight yards. Nothing crazy. Dalton kink War catches

670
00:35:00,560 --> 00:35:04,360
Speaker 3: for eighty seven yards. Again. Stefan Diggs under thirty yards

671
00:35:04,400 --> 00:35:08,120
Speaker 3: receiving yet again, which is starting to become concerning. But

672
00:35:08,520 --> 00:35:12,520
Speaker 3: on the other side, Russeulle Douglas has been a revelation

673
00:35:12,719 --> 00:35:14,719
Speaker 3: since he was traded to the Buffalo Bills. He has

674
00:35:14,760 --> 00:35:18,839
Speaker 3: been everything they could have asked for and much much more.

675
00:35:18,880 --> 00:35:21,440
Speaker 3: I would imagine. He had an interception, two interceptions in

676
00:35:21,480 --> 00:35:26,239
Speaker 3: a game, one being a pick six, Ed Oliver had

677
00:35:26,239 --> 00:35:30,320
Speaker 3: an interception in a sack. The concern is what happened

678
00:35:30,320 --> 00:35:33,279
Speaker 3: to von Miller, Like, is that serious? Is that career ending?

679
00:35:33,320 --> 00:35:34,759
Speaker 3: They paid him a lot of money, but he was

680
00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:38,000
Speaker 3: a healthy scratch this game. Maybe they're resting him up,

681
00:35:38,120 --> 00:35:42,680
Speaker 3: maybe there's something we're not hearing. But that's a big deal, Mitchell,

682
00:35:42,680 --> 00:35:44,880
Speaker 3: and that's a big question mark going into the playoffs.

683
00:35:44,920 --> 00:35:47,400
Speaker 3: He's a guy that they brought to be a finisher

684
00:35:47,440 --> 00:35:49,840
Speaker 3: to get him over the hump in these playoff games,

685
00:35:50,360 --> 00:35:52,359
Speaker 3: to help them win a championship, to help them win

686
00:35:52,360 --> 00:35:55,120
Speaker 3: a Super Bowl. And if he can't go and he's

687
00:35:55,120 --> 00:35:57,160
Speaker 3: not going to be able to make an impact, you

688
00:35:57,239 --> 00:36:01,200
Speaker 3: wonder if their boat stops early in these playoffs, because

689
00:36:01,520 --> 00:36:03,160
Speaker 3: Josh Allen, they're not gonna win a lot of games.

690
00:36:03,160 --> 00:36:05,360
Speaker 3: If Josh Allen's going to play like that like he

691
00:36:05,440 --> 00:36:09,719
Speaker 3: did this game against the New England Patriots, who have

692
00:36:09,760 --> 00:36:10,759
Speaker 3: won four games.

693
00:36:11,400 --> 00:36:12,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, no question.

694
00:36:12,280 --> 00:36:14,839
Speaker 1: I mean that's the rest of these games this week,

695
00:36:14,880 --> 00:36:17,680
Speaker 1: it's all about it's all about playoff implications. I mean,

696
00:36:17,719 --> 00:36:21,920
Speaker 1: Houston wins a game pretty commandingly against Tennessee Titans. That

697
00:36:22,040 --> 00:36:25,400
Speaker 1: rematch they took care of twenty six to three. No problem.

698
00:36:25,440 --> 00:36:25,960
Speaker 3: You get c. J.

699
00:36:26,080 --> 00:36:30,440
Speaker 1: Stroud back, and that sets up another, you know, huge

700
00:36:30,440 --> 00:36:33,440
Speaker 1: matchup next week against the Indianapolis Colts, who have just

701
00:36:33,520 --> 00:36:38,000
Speaker 1: been you know, quietly putting together a pretty impressive season.

702
00:36:38,080 --> 00:36:41,720
Speaker 1: Rich this week, this time next week, they'll be playing

703
00:36:42,000 --> 00:36:44,680
Speaker 1: for a playoff spot against these Indianapolis Colts.

704
00:36:45,120 --> 00:36:47,520
Speaker 2: Richard, the Houston Texans. Who do you like most in

705
00:36:47,560 --> 00:36:48,280
Speaker 2: that matchup?

706
00:36:49,040 --> 00:36:51,520
Speaker 3: Well, you know, the Houston Texans if their defense can

707
00:36:51,560 --> 00:36:53,880
Speaker 3: play like it just did. You talk about Derek Stingley

708
00:36:54,239 --> 00:36:56,919
Speaker 3: in the amount of interceptions he's had since he's come back,

709
00:36:56,960 --> 00:37:00,920
Speaker 3: He's he's amongst the league leaders with he's up there.

710
00:37:01,000 --> 00:37:04,440
Speaker 3: Tarvarius Ward has had obviously Deron Bland ran away with

711
00:37:04,520 --> 00:37:10,000
Speaker 3: it very early in the season, but Will Anderson with

712
00:37:10,120 --> 00:37:13,759
Speaker 3: another two picks. You talked about their foundational pieces. There's

713
00:37:13,760 --> 00:37:17,160
Speaker 3: a lot to be excited about for this Houston Texans team,

714
00:37:17,200 --> 00:37:20,080
Speaker 3: and they're playing good at the right time. Devin Singletary

715
00:37:20,120 --> 00:37:23,279
Speaker 3: comes it comes in sixteen rushes for eighty yards, Nico

716
00:37:23,400 --> 00:37:26,799
Speaker 3: Collins seven for eighty yards. C J. Stroud twenty four

717
00:37:26,800 --> 00:37:30,440
Speaker 3: to thirty two in his return game, only one touchdown.

718
00:37:31,239 --> 00:37:34,600
Speaker 3: But this defense was really lights out and that's what

719
00:37:34,600 --> 00:37:37,040
Speaker 3: they're gonna need. They're gonna need CJ. Stroud to play well.

720
00:37:37,280 --> 00:37:39,520
Speaker 3: But this defense is gonna tell you how far they

721
00:37:39,560 --> 00:37:41,640
Speaker 3: go on these playoffs. But whether they get put out

722
00:37:41,640 --> 00:37:44,680
Speaker 3: in the first round, or they even make the playoffs,

723
00:37:45,120 --> 00:37:47,800
Speaker 3: or they have a chance to make a run, because

724
00:37:48,080 --> 00:37:50,440
Speaker 3: it's looking like they're not gonna get the division. With

725
00:37:50,520 --> 00:37:55,319
Speaker 3: Jacksonville playing Tennessee at home this next game, I think

726
00:37:55,360 --> 00:37:57,440
Speaker 3: they should be able to win that game. If they don't,

727
00:37:57,560 --> 00:38:01,840
Speaker 3: then that division gets crazy. I don't know who wins it.

728
00:38:03,080 --> 00:38:06,120
Speaker 1: That's it is wild, I mean. And speaking of this

729
00:38:06,280 --> 00:38:10,920
Speaker 1: Texans defense defense they win this week's almost almost perfect

730
00:38:10,960 --> 00:38:13,160
Speaker 1: Defense of the Week, brought to you by our friends

731
00:38:13,160 --> 00:38:16,480
Speaker 1: over at uber Eats, where we highlight the NFL's best

732
00:38:16,520 --> 00:38:19,960
Speaker 1: defense of the week. The Houston Texans They've been bringing

733
00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:21,839
Speaker 1: the hurt for a little bit here now, Rich, They've

734
00:38:21,880 --> 00:38:25,160
Speaker 1: been a true revelation in this league this year. You know,

735
00:38:25,239 --> 00:38:28,960
Speaker 1: Will Anderson, like you said, Derek Stingley, Houston sack Titans

736
00:38:29,000 --> 00:38:32,040
Speaker 1: quarterback six times and held Tennessee to a season low

737
00:38:32,120 --> 00:38:36,959
Speaker 1: three points. Titans went one to twelve on third down.

738
00:38:37,120 --> 00:38:40,040
Speaker 1: I mean, the Texans had of my lockdown all game long.

739
00:38:40,160 --> 00:38:42,640
Speaker 1: They made it really easy for CJ. Stroud in the offense.

740
00:38:42,680 --> 00:38:46,960
Speaker 1: So that's this week's almost almost perfect defense of the Week,

741
00:38:47,320 --> 00:38:49,640
Speaker 1: brought to you by our friends over at uber eats.

742

745
00:39:00,280 --> 00:39:03,600
Speaker 1: before we leave this game. I mean, the expectations in

746
00:39:03,680 --> 00:39:08,800
Speaker 1: Houston were pretty darn low entering this season. Demiko Ryans

747
00:39:08,920 --> 00:39:11,440
Speaker 1: enters this year as a first time head coach. You know,

748
00:39:11,680 --> 00:39:15,279
Speaker 1: obviously a ton of experience with San Francisco. I have

749
00:39:15,440 --> 00:39:18,680
Speaker 1: former player at Houston. He's done a hell of a job.

750
00:39:18,840 --> 00:39:21,799
Speaker 1: I mean, is there a legit chance for him to

751
00:39:21,840 --> 00:39:23,080
Speaker 1: take home Coach of the Year.

752
00:39:24,080 --> 00:39:25,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I would think he would have a

753
00:39:25,960 --> 00:39:28,400
Speaker 3: shot at it, but with what John Harball has done,

754
00:39:28,800 --> 00:39:33,480
Speaker 3: what Kevin Stefanski has done with four quarterbacks. Now you know,

755
00:39:33,560 --> 00:39:37,439
Speaker 3: now starting Joe Flacco off the couch and winning four

756
00:39:37,560 --> 00:39:41,280
Speaker 3: or five heading into the playoffs. Defense is playing incredible

757
00:39:41,400 --> 00:39:44,600
Speaker 3: some of the teams that they've been able to beat.

758
00:39:45,640 --> 00:39:48,680
Speaker 3: I think it's gonna be hard to give it to him. Obviously,

759
00:39:49,160 --> 00:39:52,279
Speaker 3: he has a great, great shot at it. You know,

760
00:39:52,320 --> 00:39:55,080
Speaker 3: he has great argument because that way his team's played.

761
00:39:55,120 --> 00:39:57,439
Speaker 3: They have the potential, if they can beat Indy next week,

762
00:39:57,680 --> 00:40:01,319
Speaker 3: to have a ten win season coming off a year

763
00:40:01,440 --> 00:40:05,160
Speaker 3: they picked one and two or two and three in

764
00:40:05,239 --> 00:40:08,520
Speaker 3: the draft. I mean, you can't You couldn't imagine them

765
00:40:08,560 --> 00:40:10,799
Speaker 3: going from two and three in a draft to having

766
00:40:10,800 --> 00:40:15,080
Speaker 3: a ten win season and potentially making the playoffs. That's

767
00:40:15,120 --> 00:40:17,920
Speaker 3: what they've done. I do think CJ. Stroud has a

768
00:40:17,960 --> 00:40:21,040
Speaker 3: shot at winning the Player of the Year, the Rookie

769
00:40:21,080 --> 00:40:23,600
Speaker 3: of the year for the offensive side of the ball.

770
00:40:23,719 --> 00:40:25,960
Speaker 3: The way he's been playing, it'd be hard not to

771
00:40:25,960 --> 00:40:27,000
Speaker 3: give it to him.

772
00:40:27,880 --> 00:40:30,200
Speaker 1: It's really impressive what they've done, and I mean they're

773
00:40:30,200 --> 00:40:32,320
Speaker 1: gonna make this division fun for years to come. A

774
00:40:32,360 --> 00:40:35,839
Speaker 1: couple of young quarterbacks coming up in this this AFC South.

775
00:40:35,880 --> 00:40:38,240
Speaker 1: You gotta love to see it. But you mentioned them, Richard.

776
00:40:38,560 --> 00:40:40,560
Speaker 1: A team I love right now is the Cleveland Browns.

777
00:40:40,560 --> 00:40:42,480
Speaker 1: They gotta be one of the favorites just to watch.

778
00:40:42,560 --> 00:40:45,759
Speaker 1: I had zero expectations going into watching that Thursday night

779
00:40:45,760 --> 00:40:47,920
Speaker 1: football game. I'm sure you did too. I know Vegas

780
00:40:47,920 --> 00:40:50,640
Speaker 1: didn't have much That over under was like in the

781
00:40:50,680 --> 00:40:54,439
Speaker 1: mid thirties. And then you see the Browns putting thirty

782
00:40:54,440 --> 00:40:56,920
Speaker 1: four on the board in the first half. Before we

783
00:40:57,040 --> 00:41:00,919
Speaker 1: leave this week's recap ridge, I just gotta ask, how

784
00:41:01,040 --> 00:41:04,360
Speaker 1: in the world does Joe Flacco go from I'm the

785
00:41:04,440 --> 00:41:06,880
Speaker 1: couch to putting thirty four on the board in the

786
00:41:06,880 --> 00:41:08,560
Speaker 1: first half in a Thursday night football game.

787
00:41:08,600 --> 00:41:12,360
Speaker 3: It is just unheard of, Mitchell, though, That's why you

788
00:41:12,400 --> 00:41:16,440
Speaker 3: love sports. Stories like Joe Flacco's is why you love sports,

789
00:41:16,480 --> 00:41:21,200
Speaker 3: and why it's why NFL is king Because you never know, Mitchell,

790
00:41:21,640 --> 00:41:24,960
Speaker 3: Cinderella stories are always right around the corner. You have

791
00:41:25,000 --> 00:41:27,520
Speaker 3: storylines all over the place, and in the playoffs this year,

792
00:41:27,560 --> 00:41:31,480
Speaker 3: it's gonna get even crazier, especially if some of these

793
00:41:31,560 --> 00:41:35,680
Speaker 3: quarterbacks go to their homes. Mitchell. You got Matt Stafford

794
00:41:36,120 --> 00:41:40,000
Speaker 3: coming back to Detroit. You got Joe Flacco heading back

795
00:41:40,000 --> 00:41:44,600
Speaker 3: to Baltimore. Things like that storylines right themselves. People be

796
00:41:44,640 --> 00:41:47,279
Speaker 3: talking about the script of the NFL and how they

797
00:41:47,320 --> 00:41:49,960
Speaker 3: were right. I guarantee you the NFL scriptors didn't have

798
00:41:50,040 --> 00:41:52,360
Speaker 3: Joe Flacco coming off the couch to win four or

799
00:41:52,400 --> 00:41:53,840
Speaker 3: five games. That's no question.

800
00:41:54,760 --> 00:41:56,879
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, you gotta love to see it. Like you said,
