1
00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:07,520
Speaker 1: Be Around with the NFL podcast made it through New Horizon. Monday,

2
00:00:08,640 --> 00:00:11,360
Speaker 1: we'll come back to another edition of the Around the

00:00:11,440 --> 00:00:15,080
Speaker 1: NFL Podcast. My name is Dan Hanson said, I've joined

00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:18,640
Speaker 1: in the room filled with heroes, Mark Sessler, Chris Westling

5
00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:21,320
Speaker 1: and Greg Rose withal what is up? Boys? Hey Dan,

6
00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:29,600
Speaker 1: it's Thursday, which is our Friday. And uh one. Mark Sessler,

7
00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:31,720
Speaker 1: he's got that itchy sometimes he gets a little itchy

8
00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:34,199
Speaker 1: on Thursday afternoon. He's looking to get out the door

9
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:38,800
Speaker 1: as soon as possible. Not a little mark. Not accurate.

10
00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:41,199
Speaker 1: It just says when we send out these emails that

11
00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:44,479
Speaker 1: say hey everyone, show starts at one pm, and then

12
00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:48,599
Speaker 1: it drifts from one eighteen to one to one thirty one,

13
00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:51,080
Speaker 1: it's suddenly one fifty eight and we're still We're still

14
00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:55,840
Speaker 1: gossiping and talking. Start the show. It's one sixteen. Let

15
00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:59,320
Speaker 1: the record. I mean, this is access. This is actually

16
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:02,080
Speaker 1: on the better end of what we normally deal with

17
00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:04,520
Speaker 1: when it comes to start times. There might be some

18
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:08,560
Speaker 1: Sessler inflation going on, but this show, over seven episodes,

19
00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:11,800
Speaker 1: has never not once started on time, thank you, not

20
00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:14,800
Speaker 1: one time. I've been counting all these years. That's not true,

21
00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:17,440
Speaker 1: because we actually bet a sandwich on it once that

22
00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:20,240
Speaker 1: it would start on time. And that's what made it.

23
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:22,039
Speaker 1: We made it start on time to get it. That's

24
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:30,479
Speaker 1: what it's. Um, what joke. This is our wild Card

25
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:35,840
Speaker 1: Weekend podcast. Oh and it's a good one because not

26
00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:39,680
Speaker 1: every year does wild Card Weekend look so hot. Um.

27
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:44,440
Speaker 1: Sometimes you could have as many as two sometimes a third.

28
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:46,440
Speaker 1: You might get a Connor cook in there. You get

29
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:48,160
Speaker 1: a Connor cooking. Yeah, you get a you get a

30
00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:52,040
Speaker 1: second string quarterback, you get a Titoons type team that

31
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:55,160
Speaker 1: just even if they survived the first weekend, they're just

32
00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:58,720
Speaker 1: cannon fodder for whoever is waiting on Buy. That's all

33
00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:05,160
Speaker 1: out there. Peterman appearance last year, if you remember, wasn't expected,

34
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:07,600
Speaker 1: but it came. We had a Peterman. But this year

35
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 1: I'll just go through the quarterbacks. We'll start here, coming

36
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:18,079
Speaker 1: up this Saturday and Sunday. Andrew Luck. Oh he's back

37
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:24,519
Speaker 1: the Future v. The Shawn Watson, Russell Wilson v. Dak Prescott.

38
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:28,200
Speaker 1: I mean he's done some things. Philip Rivers Hall of Famer,

39
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:33,399
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson since the reigning Rookie of the Month, Big

40
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:41,720
Speaker 1: Nick super Bowl MVP and Mitchell Trabisky on the most

41
00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:44,960
Speaker 1: exciting quarterbacks to watch. That is a great slate of quarterback.

42
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:47,280
Speaker 1: You're standing by that Rabinsky is one of the most

43
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:48,960
Speaker 1: How long is your list if he's on it for

44
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:52,119
Speaker 1: most exciting to watch? Makes big plays down the field,

45
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:54,760
Speaker 1: and he scrambles as well in the quarterback what's your list?

46
00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:57,960
Speaker 1: Though he's in the top what of most exciting to watch? Well,

47
00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:00,919
Speaker 1: he's definitely ahead of Tom Brady right now on exciting

48
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:03,800
Speaker 1: to watch. I mean in the top ten for exciting

49
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:07,760
Speaker 1: to watch. Okay, Mark, you are not sold on the

50
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:11,120
Speaker 1: Mitch Drobiski. I think he's made. There's games where you

51
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:13,799
Speaker 1: see incredible progress. I don't. He wouldn't be on my

52
00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:16,720
Speaker 1: list of most I like. I think he's playing much better,

53
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:19,200
Speaker 1: but he would not be on my top fifth. Ecly,

54
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:24,600
Speaker 1: it's highly subjective Westfield. If that's how he makes west quarterbacks, right,

55
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:27,320
Speaker 1: I wanted to hear. I wanted to hear the type

56
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:30,239
Speaker 1: of the quarterbacks he was crowding out. That's that's exclusive. Well, yeah,

57
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:32,000
Speaker 1: the one who's afraid to take a hit and all

58
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:33,880
Speaker 1: he does is manage the game. He's out of my

59
00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:36,440
Speaker 1: top exciting one. There's a lot of there's a lot

60
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:38,760
Speaker 1: of great on talking about Tom Brady. Yeah, I love it.

61
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:41,640
Speaker 1: He's a game manager who won't take a hit. What

62
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:43,560
Speaker 1: more do you want from me? I want anything, that's all.

63
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:46,520
Speaker 1: That's all I've ever wanted to hear from you. Like

64
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:49,320
Speaker 1: talk like his private life. West loves to see men

65
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:52,200
Speaker 1: like in pain. He wants to see them hit like.

66
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:55,280
Speaker 1: That's what he gets. That's the theory. Most football quarterbacks

67
00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:57,680
Speaker 1: in history, Greg, who were good at playing football, stood

68
00:03:57,680 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 1: in the pocket and took the hit and still delivered

69
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:03,640
Speaker 1: the past. Sir, you are off to an interesting secon.

70
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:05,960
Speaker 1: Nowhere to go with that. So this is what we're

71
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:08,720
Speaker 1: gonna do today. Keep it simple. We're gonna go through

72
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:12,840
Speaker 1: each of the four games um uh in the wild

73
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 1: card weekend to Saturday to Sunday. Of course, the Chiefs,

74
00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:18,160
Speaker 1: the Patriots of Saints, and Rams all on BI so

75
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:21,280
Speaker 1: we'll get them next week for the divisional playoffs. And

76
00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:23,440
Speaker 1: just a little fun component that will throw in there.

77
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:29,400
Speaker 1: This year, excuse me, Greg brought some burritos to UH

78
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:32,640
Speaker 1: to the office and we got pulled into an unexpected

79
00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:36,960
Speaker 1: meeting by a shadowy league figure and um kind of

80
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:38,840
Speaker 1: cut into my burrito time, So I had to kind

81
00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:41,640
Speaker 1: of scarve that one down. Shout out to Tacos, poor fevour.

82
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:45,560
Speaker 1: There's no meal I've eaten more in Los Angeles than

83
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:48,520
Speaker 1: the Outpa store from Tacos por fo four I think

84
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:51,880
Speaker 1: I've put down I approximated today at least a hundred

85
00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:54,800
Speaker 1: maybe a hundred and fifty, not thirty forty a year

86
00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:57,560
Speaker 1: for five years. Well, this circles back to the tweet

87
00:04:57,600 --> 00:04:59,400
Speaker 1: that when I missed the Twitter show, it did not

88
00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:02,520
Speaker 1: make the show for some reason, largely because I think

89
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:05,400
Speaker 1: I did not use the correct hashtag. But uh, that

90
00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:09,280
Speaker 1: Greg was left out of a conversation some question by

91
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:11,760
Speaker 1: a viewer about some sort of Hey, you've got two

92
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:14,240
Speaker 1: foodies in the room, damn a Check and West. And

93
00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:17,120
Speaker 1: it's like west is is a burgeoning chef, and I

94
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:19,440
Speaker 1: know that Damnischeck likes is fair, but like, give me

95
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:23,320
Speaker 1: a break. Greg is always discussing restaurants. He's always he

96
00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:27,039
Speaker 1: was eating tongue two weeknds ago. He is a foodie

97
00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:29,000
Speaker 1: if I've ever met one. I think Greg has been

98
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:30,800
Speaker 1: the more restaurants since he's moved to l A than

99
00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:33,760
Speaker 1: I've been to in my life. Wow, are we now

100
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:36,560
Speaker 1: actively just trying not to start the podcast. Yeah, I

101
00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:41,360
Speaker 1: don't know. I can be out of here at four one,

102
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:44,040
Speaker 1: you know PM in the afternoon. How about that. Let's

103
00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:46,640
Speaker 1: get to the games. Let's cut out the Malarkey. You

104
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:47,880
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. But thank you for there. He

105
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:51,120
Speaker 1: got an interview. It was delicious. Mike Malarkey got an interview,

106
00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:55,279
Speaker 1: and uh, you know, God speed Mike Malarkey. And you

107
00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:58,039
Speaker 1: know what, the idea of Mike Malarkey running an offense

108
00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:01,159
Speaker 1: is a frightening thought. I mean, Mike Mularkey was in

109
00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:05,039
Speaker 1: the divisional round last year. Remember that this is not

110
00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:08,440
Speaker 1: a delayed tactic. I don't know what the man struggles

111
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:11,320
Speaker 1: with an offensive playbook and overall strategy, but this is

112
00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:14,080
Speaker 1: not about Mike mclarkey. We're gonna start in the a

113
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:17,080
Speaker 1: f C with the six verses three. Oh, that's what

114
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:19,560
Speaker 1: I meant to say. For the first time. We haven't

115
00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:21,680
Speaker 1: done this before. Mark, and you let me know in

116
00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:24,359
Speaker 1: detail whether you like this or not. We're going to

117
00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:31,560
Speaker 1: add a who do you trust component to the conversation today,

118
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:35,720
Speaker 1: um and we each will throw out one player, team, coach,

119
00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:38,719
Speaker 1: what have you that we trust? Right, it's not in

120
00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:41,839
Speaker 1: question for him like we've sometimes done. It's we're just

121
00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:45,240
Speaker 1: telling you and don't forget your locks. All right? We

122
00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:51,400
Speaker 1: all set, Now, let's do it. The Indianapolis Cults ten

123
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:55,040
Speaker 1: and six, the number six seed in the a f C,

124
00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:58,400
Speaker 1: travel to Houston to face the a f C South

125
00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:03,640
Speaker 1: champion Texans. Uh. The Texans held off the Cults. You

126
00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:06,640
Speaker 1: charged hard down the stretch, as we know after that

127
00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:09,640
Speaker 1: one in five start, they finished ten and six. You

128
00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:12,600
Speaker 1: do the math. I don't have to. I don't need

129
00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:14,600
Speaker 1: to go to math class anymore. But this is what

130
00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:17,960
Speaker 1: we could say. Mark, you have a tremendous match up

131
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:21,160
Speaker 1: here between Andrew Luck, resurgent comeback player of the year

132
00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:25,040
Speaker 1: favorite against the Texans, and let's soak us to start there.

133
00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:29,280
Speaker 1: On that defensive line. J. J. Watt Jadavian Clowney. Very

134
00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:32,520
Speaker 1: few tandems in football are more dangerous than those two men,

135
00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:36,800
Speaker 1: and their battle against the Colts offensive line, much improved

136
00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:39,440
Speaker 1: offensive line, will go a long way towards deciding this one,

137
00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:42,920
Speaker 1: won't it. I mean, they're always a factor, Watton Clowney,

138
00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:45,240
Speaker 1: But this is the best protected quarterback in the NFL

139
00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:47,800
Speaker 1: right now, and Andrew Luck. And it charts back to

140
00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:51,600
Speaker 1: who I trust in this game is Frank Reich. Because

141
00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:53,640
Speaker 1: Frank Reich has found a way to do something that

142
00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:56,320
Speaker 1: no other coach working with Andrew Luck in the previous

143
00:07:56,400 --> 00:08:00,560
Speaker 1: years has done, and let's protect his quarterback so well

144
00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:03,120
Speaker 1: over the last ten plus weeks. These two teams started

145
00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:05,480
Speaker 1: a combined one in eight and what they've done since

146
00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:08,600
Speaker 1: on both on both fronts is impressive. But for me,

147
00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:11,040
Speaker 1: much more so with the Colts, who have not. I

148
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:13,240
Speaker 1: feel like the Texans, and we've discussed a little bit,

149
00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:15,480
Speaker 1: think there was a sense to me that they peaked

150
00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:18,840
Speaker 1: a few weeks ago, and when I saw it, went

151
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:22,000
Speaker 1: back and watched the Week fourteen game. The final score

152
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:24,200
Speaker 1: of that game was twenty one, but it never really

153
00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:27,239
Speaker 1: looked that close to me. The Colts won that game

154
00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:31,080
Speaker 1: and jumped out to an early seventeen seven lead, and

155
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:33,600
Speaker 1: what they did was they used t Y Hilton to

156
00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:38,000
Speaker 1: flame Houston Secondary and I loved that late in that game,

157
00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:40,280
Speaker 1: even as they were just trying to cling to a

158
00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:43,760
Speaker 1: lead they barely. They essentially abandoned the ground game and

159
00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:47,679
Speaker 1: kept aggressively even from deep in their own territory near

160
00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:50,720
Speaker 1: the two minute warning, throwing the ball, throwing the ball

161
00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:53,840
Speaker 1: and doing it again, and I trust Frank Reich to

162
00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:57,319
Speaker 1: stay aggressive on the road and to use all of

163
00:08:57,360 --> 00:09:00,280
Speaker 1: his resources to make Andrew Luck the centerpiece of this one.

164
00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:02,120
Speaker 1: And I do believe that they're going to take out

165
00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:05,600
Speaker 1: Bill O'Brien in the Houston Texans. I want to I

166
00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:08,079
Speaker 1: love to believe that, and I will end up picking

167
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:11,959
Speaker 1: the Colts. But my biggest takeaway from watching games and

168
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:15,320
Speaker 1: doing research this week is that we have been Who's

169
00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:37,559
Speaker 1: behind the mad yet just from the Mask Singer from

170
00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:42,800
Speaker 1: a bit park dealer where were said was okay. My

171
00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:46,240
Speaker 1: biggest takeaway is that we've been underestimating the Texans and

172
00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:50,520
Speaker 1: overestimating their injuries of late. Their offensive line isn't playing well.

173
00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:52,720
Speaker 1: In this game. You have the most sacked quarterback versus

174
00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:59,599
Speaker 1: the least you've been doing Super Bowl. But it was

175
00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:01,319
Speaker 1: a sign it. I was glad to be a part

176
00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:04,360
Speaker 1: of it. I had a good time today. Dan, you

177
00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:08,679
Speaker 1: were very excited about the Mass Singer UH premiere, so

178
00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:11,439
Speaker 1: you wanted to put it on the podcast. This has

179
00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:13,120
Speaker 1: nothing to do with me. You haven't seen me touch

180
00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:15,880
Speaker 1: on my laptop once. Yes, Antonio Brown was on the

181
00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:21,480
Speaker 1: Mask Singer, but this is about the playoffs West UH you.

182
00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:23,360
Speaker 1: I think I was at you have the most sacked

183
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:26,679
Speaker 1: quarterback versus the least sacked quarterback. So the offensive line

184
00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:30,160
Speaker 1: isn't very good, but they're healthy. The secondary isn't very good,

185
00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:34,199
Speaker 1: but they're healthy. The wide receivers aren't very deep, but

186
00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:36,439
Speaker 1: they This team is healthier than they've been in a

187
00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:38,240
Speaker 1: few weeks, and they're getting a lot of guys back.

188
00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:41,360
Speaker 1: And I thought they played really well against the Jaguars, right,

189
00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:44,200
Speaker 1: and they played well against the Eagle they were in Philadelphia.

190
00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:48,560
Speaker 1: That was his helmet more often, right, Mr Handsome? Oh

191
00:10:50,040 --> 00:11:00,760
Speaker 1: my god, I don't I don't know what's but go ahead, Greg.

192
00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:04,040
Speaker 1: That's good. Yeah, Why would Why would Greg want to

193
00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:10,760
Speaker 1: fall into this trap again? I'll just I'm waiting to

194
00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:13,240
Speaker 1: see what's going on. I want a stalemate. You got

195
00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:15,640
Speaker 1: your stalemate. What I'm waiting. If you make your point,

196
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:21,400
Speaker 1: we can go ahead. My point being I didn't have

197
00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:23,800
Speaker 1: a point. I wasn't talking. I have nothing to do

198
00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:36,200
Speaker 1: with this. Andrew Luck versus Shaun Watson? What? What a showdown? J? J. Watton,

199
00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:40,080
Speaker 1: Jadavian Clowney two guys on the edge. Um what had

200
00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:44,640
Speaker 1: sixteen sacks Clowney nine? But they also combined to lead

201
00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:47,920
Speaker 1: UH the league and tackles for loss as a duo

202
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:49,920
Speaker 1: to me, And that's how I set you up, Mark,

203
00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:53,559
Speaker 1: I really do. There are games Zone West and you've

204
00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:57,600
Speaker 1: seen this where what has gone quiet. He hasn't been

205
00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:02,640
Speaker 1: maybe the all encompassing terror of his prime, but he's

206
00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:06,360
Speaker 1: still is a guy that can take over games he can,

207
00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:10,120
Speaker 1: and he had He developed an arm injury last week

208
00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:12,600
Speaker 1: in which the reportions of the game where it looked

209
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:14,760
Speaker 1: like he couldn't even use his right arm for leverage

210
00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:18,240
Speaker 1: or couldn't reach out and grab the quarterback with hanging

211
00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:20,120
Speaker 1: limp at his arm as he walked into halftime. And

212
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:22,920
Speaker 1: yet he's still got a sack after that, Like he's

213
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:25,680
Speaker 1: obviously playing limited, but he's J. J. Watts. So you can.

214
00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:27,679
Speaker 1: You can talk about the Colts offensive line all you want.

215
00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:29,600
Speaker 1: They've given up eighteen sacks a year. Five of them

216
00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:32,800
Speaker 1: are to Watton Clowney, so that that that's like almost

217
00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:34,679
Speaker 1: a third of the sacks that they've given up are

218
00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:37,720
Speaker 1: in this game going you know, trying to go up

219
00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:40,839
Speaker 1: against Clowney right now. He's coming off a game a

220
00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:42,960
Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago that was as good as any

221
00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:45,920
Speaker 1: I think he's played in his entire career. I've seen

222
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:48,920
Speaker 1: him carry them in a playoff game before, like the

223
00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:51,040
Speaker 1: two of them. When I you look at the Texans,

224
00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:55,280
Speaker 1: you see four transcendent players that can just change the

225
00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:57,840
Speaker 1: game by themselves, and maybe the Colts have have two

226
00:12:57,960 --> 00:12:59,920
Speaker 1: or three and with t Y Hilton and Andrew Luck

227
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:03,440
Speaker 1: Darius Leonard, but you have Deshaun Watson, who's playing at

228
00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:06,640
Speaker 1: the top five quarterback level. I would say you have

229
00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:09,559
Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkin to to me, has been the most valuable

230
00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:12,800
Speaker 1: receiver in football. And I don't think it's any mistake

231
00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:16,199
Speaker 1: that they've started to run Deshaun Watson more over the

232
00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:19,079
Speaker 1: last couple of weeks than they were early in the season.

233
00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:22,000
Speaker 1: It's because now they see the finish line, he's healthy.

234
00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:25,280
Speaker 1: They kind of did a more traditional dropback offense. They

235
00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:27,679
Speaker 1: showed that they can do that. Now that they're in

236
00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:30,160
Speaker 1: winning time, I think they're gonna use his legs more

237
00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:32,280
Speaker 1: and I expect to see that. On Saturday when they

238
00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:36,400
Speaker 1: played the first time, the more disruptive line was Indianapolis

239
00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:39,400
Speaker 1: and it was Denico Autry and it was Darius Leonard.

240
00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:42,280
Speaker 1: I mean they sack Deshaun Watson five times. I mean,

241
00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:45,400
Speaker 1: and that's happened to Deshaun Watson in so many games

242
00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:47,199
Speaker 1: at this point that I agree with you. They have

243
00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:49,199
Speaker 1: to get him out of the pocket and happen. But

244
00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:51,080
Speaker 1: he's in a lot of it's just scrambled. I mean,

245
00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:53,120
Speaker 1: he was like Alvin Kamara on the goal line. He

246
00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:57,120
Speaker 1: is such an unbelievable runner. And the degree of difficulty

247
00:13:57,280 --> 00:14:00,199
Speaker 1: on some of the throws he's been completing lately is

248
00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:02,160
Speaker 1: just awesome. I went back and tried to like figure

249
00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:04,560
Speaker 1: out the grades for quarterbacks over there, like the last

250
00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:06,640
Speaker 1: five weeks, and he's been a top five or six

251
00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:10,599
Speaker 1: quarterback over that time. And Andrew Luck is too, And

252
00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:13,160
Speaker 1: I think the difference is there's more easy plays for Luck.

253
00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:15,920
Speaker 1: We we talked about how the Chiefs are kind of

254
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:18,600
Speaker 1: running out of easy plays that you don't see as

255
00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:21,720
Speaker 1: many layups from Patrick Mahomes and the Colts, and Frank

256
00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:23,720
Speaker 1: Crank managed to figure out a few every week where

257
00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:25,840
Speaker 1: guys are just wide open, or they throw a bubble

258
00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:28,080
Speaker 1: screen to t Y Hilton and he takes it. I mean,

259
00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:29,920
Speaker 1: I think Frank Reig has done about It's good a

260
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:33,360
Speaker 1: job keeping ahead of opposing defense. Is anyone in the

261
00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:35,280
Speaker 1: league you know the only other time that the most

262
00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:38,280
Speaker 1: sacked and least sat quarterback ever met in the playoffs

263
00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:50,120
Speaker 1: Randall Cunningham Versus Orleans Saints quarterback, Uh Bobby. I think

264
00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:52,400
Speaker 1: that was the year that our producer was born. If

265
00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:56,880
Speaker 1: I'm not mistaken. This is Chris Ballard's what's your favorite

266
00:14:56,880 --> 00:14:59,880
Speaker 1: type of frogs? Chris Ballard's you know season, He's get

267
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:02,120
Speaker 1: an Executive of the Year. We've been talking about Chris

268
00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:06,400
Speaker 1: Ballard for multiple years. He went into last and he said,

269
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:09,520
Speaker 1: he said, here's what the Colts have wrong. We're not physical.

270
00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:12,000
Speaker 1: We're a weak team. We're gonna make them physical. And

271
00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:14,320
Speaker 1: he did it like everyone says that, but not many

272
00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:16,840
Speaker 1: teams just do that. That they're the most physical team

273
00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:19,120
Speaker 1: probably in the a f C South. Now, Mark, you

274
00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:20,920
Speaker 1: have the Colts West. Who do you got in this game?

275
00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:24,080
Speaker 1: I've got the Colts. But I'm putting a lot more

276
00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:26,040
Speaker 1: respect on the Texans than I would have a week

277
00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:28,880
Speaker 1: or two ago. I've really waffled on this one because

278
00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:31,680
Speaker 1: I did think the Texans potentially it already peaked as

279
00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:36,040
Speaker 1: a team. But I don't know that the Cults. They

280
00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:39,160
Speaker 1: took care of business in Nashville. But I wasn't head

281
00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:42,080
Speaker 1: over heels about their performance either in that game and

282
00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:46,000
Speaker 1: the Texans at home. I'm gonna take Houston very very

283
00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:48,880
Speaker 1: narrow win. Yeah, I'm taking the Texans. I would take

284
00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:51,320
Speaker 1: either home team. I think this is a very even matchup.

285
00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:53,200
Speaker 1: I think the Cults are a better team, but the

286
00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:56,800
Speaker 1: Texans have better players, like better top level players. We've

287
00:15:56,840 --> 00:15:59,200
Speaker 1: been waiting for this Jadevion, Clowney, J J. Watt to

288
00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:01,440
Speaker 1: be healthy with the upball gods. I just feel like

289
00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:04,880
Speaker 1: they have something special inside of them, and so does Watson,

290
00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:07,560
Speaker 1: so does not nuke as a group. I don't know

291
00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:09,760
Speaker 1: if this group is gonna bever be together again. Clowney

292
00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:12,560
Speaker 1: might leave in free agency and too. To give them

293
00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:14,320
Speaker 1: the home game, I give them a little bit of

294
00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:16,120
Speaker 1: an edge that they just have that juice and get

295
00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:18,920
Speaker 1: through it. Plus I'm rooting for its patriot get out

296
00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:22,520
Speaker 1: the door. Without a franchise tag, they could franchise tag him.

297
00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:25,400
Speaker 1: That is probably more likely for for this year, but

298
00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:28,000
Speaker 1: I guess I'm also thinking, like, are him and what

299
00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:30,320
Speaker 1: going to be healthy at the same time. Again, I

300
00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:32,760
Speaker 1: don't know if they're gonna paget Devy and Clowney a

301
00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:35,640
Speaker 1: long term contract because he's gonna get something close to

302
00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:38,640
Speaker 1: the top guys in the league, and can you have

303
00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:40,520
Speaker 1: him and watch together. I don't know, you might have

304
00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:42,680
Speaker 1: to make a choice. Keep him this year on the tag.

305
00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:44,400
Speaker 1: I don't know if he gets that money. They're not

306
00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:47,720
Speaker 1: healthy together right now, right, it's fair. J. J. Watt

307
00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:51,080
Speaker 1: for Antonio Brown straight up, see you, bye bye, let

308
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:56,280
Speaker 1: us let us move on. The The Saturday night game

309
00:16:56,960 --> 00:16:59,960
Speaker 1: UH kicks off at a fifteen eastern the Seattle Seahaw.

310
00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:03,480
Speaker 1: The number five seed travel to Big d to face

311
00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:08,360
Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys. Two teams Chris Wesley love to run

312
00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:11,720
Speaker 1: the football who struggle to protect their own quarterbacks, who

313
00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:14,000
Speaker 1: seemed to be evenly matching a lot of ways in

314
00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:17,600
Speaker 1: their ten and six records reflect that this is another

315
00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:20,600
Speaker 1: game that's a tough one to pick. I agree, and

316
00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:22,160
Speaker 1: I have a feeling I'm gonna be the only one

317
00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:26,280
Speaker 1: picking the Cowboys. Uh, you're right. Two teams that struggled

318
00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:28,680
Speaker 1: to protect the quarterback and two quarterbacks who struggled to

319
00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:32,119
Speaker 1: protect themselves, but also two quarterbacks who are brilliant in

320
00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:35,240
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter, and Dak Prescott has more game winning

321
00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:38,600
Speaker 1: drives since he entered the league than any other quarterback. UM,

322
00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:41,440
Speaker 1: as far as who do you trust for me, this

323
00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:43,720
Speaker 1: one's quite easy because I've been keeping an eye on

324
00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:47,600
Speaker 1: these guys over the past two months, and it's the

325
00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:52,080
Speaker 1: Cowboys defensive trio of DeMarcus Lawrence, Jalen Smith, and Layton

326
00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:55,439
Speaker 1: vander esh They are phenomenal. They shut down the Saints

327
00:17:55,520 --> 00:17:57,159
Speaker 1: and they can shut out they can shut down just

328
00:17:57,240 --> 00:18:00,800
Speaker 1: about anyone. That's that's who I trust in this They

329
00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:02,440
Speaker 1: get a little bit of a home field advantage to

330
00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:04,879
Speaker 1: Cowboys fans always get a get a bit of a

331
00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:10,600
Speaker 1: bad rap, actually totally fair rap. But this year they've

332
00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:13,240
Speaker 1: they've they embraced this team, and I think they liked

333
00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:16,320
Speaker 1: the defensive mindset that this team has, and they've kind

334
00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:18,360
Speaker 1: of had a little bit of this year. I guess

335
00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:19,600
Speaker 1: I kind of missed that a little bit. Well, it

336
00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:25,480
Speaker 1: was actually it was not crowded. Traman would flame that

337
00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:27,359
Speaker 1: crowd for not as a player, but when he was

338
00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:29,600
Speaker 1: an announcer, for simply not showing. I think it makes

339
00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:33,520
Speaker 1: like spoiled fan bases that have seen the the highest

340
00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:36,160
Speaker 1: level of the sports have a hard time like getting

341
00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:39,280
Speaker 1: really excited when you're like going for that eighth win.

342
00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:42,320
Speaker 1: But that's not the Cowboys. We look at them that way,

343
00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:44,159
Speaker 1: but they haven't even been to the super Bowl in

344
00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:46,480
Speaker 1: twenty two years. They're treated that way, but they they

345
00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:48,920
Speaker 1: have that traded. I mean, their fan base thinks that way.

346
00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:54,160
Speaker 1: I don't you think. I'm probably the older I also

347
00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:56,680
Speaker 1: think that this is a team like if you think

348
00:18:56,720 --> 00:18:58,800
Speaker 1: when they played back in Week three, what we thought

349
00:18:58,840 --> 00:19:00,399
Speaker 1: of them. We thought of the Cowboys as kind of

350
00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:03,520
Speaker 1: this boring middle of the road team. We thought of

351
00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:05,880
Speaker 1: the Seahawks is kind of dead in the water. Brandon

352
00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:08,359
Speaker 1: Marshall played a huge role in that game. Earl Thomas

353
00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:10,720
Speaker 1: played a huge role in that game. Layton Vanderessh was

354
00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:12,560
Speaker 1: a backup to Shaan Lee, who was the number one

355
00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:17,640
Speaker 1: Cowboys receiver that week. Probably like Tavon Austin was back

356
00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:19,560
Speaker 1: in the mix. They need to get Amari Cooper back

357
00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:21,560
Speaker 1: back in the mix, though, And that is a bit

358
00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:24,080
Speaker 1: of a concern for me that three straight games he

359
00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:27,480
Speaker 1: has been very quiet, had a cost, had a drop

360
00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:30,439
Speaker 1: last week. I don't It's not like a major problem,

361
00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:32,960
Speaker 1: I don't think, but it's a little concerning that he's

362
00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:34,879
Speaker 1: been so quiet. I think one thing that could carry

363
00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:36,760
Speaker 1: over from that game from Week three that feels like

364
00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:40,760
Speaker 1: a million years ago. Is that cow The Cowboys offensive

365
00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:44,040
Speaker 1: line is at best banged up. I mean, Zack Martin

366
00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:46,480
Speaker 1: is taking a lot of practice rest. I'm not sure

367
00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:49,120
Speaker 1: he's a hundred percent healthy. Tyrone Smith has not been

368
00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:53,080
Speaker 1: healthy this season. And they bullied Dallas and that first

369
00:19:53,119 --> 00:19:54,840
Speaker 1: meet if they were up twenty four to six and

370
00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:58,320
Speaker 1: sacked Dak Prescott five times and they leaned on they

371
00:19:58,359 --> 00:19:59,720
Speaker 1: had nothing back then they had to lean on his

372
00:19:59,800 --> 00:20:02,040
Speaker 1: Zeke Elliott through the air. They had no wide receivers.

373
00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:04,040
Speaker 1: They're a different offense now, but you do need to

374
00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:05,800
Speaker 1: be able to find a way to protect Dak Prescott,

375
00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:08,960
Speaker 1: who played well last week. It looks like Connor Williams

376
00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:12,719
Speaker 1: is going to start at guard for uh the guy's name,

377
00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:16,880
Speaker 1: I'm not even gonna try to say uh. And Connor

378
00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:19,120
Speaker 1: Williams has basically been a disaster. That's who they took

379
00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:23,520
Speaker 1: in the second round over. I mean, he's not been

380
00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:26,200
Speaker 1: a disaster. He's been one of the lowest rated guards

381
00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:27,879
Speaker 1: by PF in the league and he got but if

382
00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:32,320
Speaker 1: you watch well he was last week. He was one

383
00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:35,080
Speaker 1: of the reasons they scored thirty six points. A disaster

384
00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:37,400
Speaker 1: would be like they couldn't even move the ball. Yeah,

385
00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:40,080
Speaker 1: but you can have bad offensive line play and score

386
00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:41,960
Speaker 1: thirty six points. Dak Prescott did it. I mean, you

387
00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:43,880
Speaker 1: couldn't have played worse than Cam find I mean, they're

388
00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:46,560
Speaker 1: left tackle didn't that game? Who just got abused over

389
00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:48,840
Speaker 1: and over and over And Dac did a good job.

390
00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:50,640
Speaker 1: And that was a good move for them to play

391
00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:53,720
Speaker 1: him throughout that game because I hope that he's feeling

392
00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:56,399
Speaker 1: a little mojo, because that was like kind of the

393
00:20:56,480 --> 00:20:59,080
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott you wanted to see. Like these two quarterbacks

394
00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:03,480
Speaker 1: are very similar in some ways, and that they struggle

395
00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:06,480
Speaker 1: with figuring out the balance of how long to hold

396
00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:09,280
Speaker 1: the ball and you know, when to make a play,

397
00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:11,520
Speaker 1: and they both take a lot of sacks that are

398
00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:14,200
Speaker 1: their own fault. Russell Wilson has kind of mastered this

399
00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:16,840
Speaker 1: game and is playing at a really high level. But

400
00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:19,400
Speaker 1: I think if Dak Prescott is gonna be his best

401
00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:21,720
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott, it's gonna be very much like Russell Well.

402
00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:26,000
Speaker 1: I would take Russell Wilson a hundred times. Of course,

403
00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:28,920
Speaker 1: similar styles. Russell Wilson is at a much higher level,

404
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:31,680
Speaker 1: but I think that those throws on the move that

405
00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:33,680
Speaker 1: you know that Dak had last week. That's what makes

406
00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:35,800
Speaker 1: him special. And I know that game didn't really mean

407
00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:39,200
Speaker 1: anything ultimately, but I agree that having him go into

408
00:21:39,240 --> 00:21:42,119
Speaker 1: the wild Card coming off arguably his best game of

409
00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:45,280
Speaker 1: the season where he was just hitting pass after pass.

410
00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:47,399
Speaker 1: And yes, it was again a meaningless game, but it

411
00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:49,600
Speaker 1: wasn't crunch time of a game that was going back

412
00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:51,760
Speaker 1: and forth. I feel good about that. If I'm a

413
00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:54,680
Speaker 1: cowboy fair, I mean, Jason Garrett took over the team

414
00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:58,240
Speaker 1: midway through two thousand and ten, one playoff win since then.

415
00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:00,199
Speaker 1: And if you if you go back to and they

416
00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:03,000
Speaker 1: did win that super Bowl way back in nine in

417
00:22:03,040 --> 00:22:05,639
Speaker 1: the winner of nineties six, if you told Jerry Jones,

418
00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:07,879
Speaker 1: who was floating on clown a cloud back then, that

419
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:11,040
Speaker 1: he would not return anywhere close to the Super Bowl

420
00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:13,800
Speaker 1: in the next twenties something years, I mean, they are

421
00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:15,680
Speaker 1: treated like a team that wins it every three or

422
00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:17,639
Speaker 1: four years, and they don't do anything close to that.

423
00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:20,520
Speaker 1: And if you can't handle this game at home, what

424
00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:23,560
Speaker 1: are you? You're a ten and six team. This is

425
00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:27,400
Speaker 1: a very even matchup, don't I'm I'm taking the Seahawks West,

426
00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:29,920
Speaker 1: But I don't think. I do think these two teams

427
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:31,960
Speaker 1: kind of beg for close games. I mean, the Seahawks

428
00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:35,560
Speaker 1: just barely beat the Cardinals. They lost, they just lost

429
00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:37,440
Speaker 1: to the forty Night I like the Seahawks in this

430
00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:39,600
Speaker 1: game because I like the coach, I like the quarterback better.

431
00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:42,680
Speaker 1: But it's not like it's some unstoppable defense that the

432
00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:44,879
Speaker 1: Seahawks have right now. Yeah, I'm kind of in a

433
00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:47,960
Speaker 1: tough spot because I said earlier this week on the

434
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:50,639
Speaker 1: Twitter Show that I'm almost certain that this is a

435
00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:53,240
Speaker 1: three point game or less. It's gonna be very close

436
00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:55,520
Speaker 1: game between two evenly match teams. But I also locked

437
00:22:55,560 --> 00:22:58,600
Speaker 1: this game up oh yeah Thursday, And you know what,

438
00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:01,640
Speaker 1: I'm gonna stick with him because I do think ultimately

439
00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:04,680
Speaker 1: the Seahawks are built for this with Russell Wilson and

440
00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:06,680
Speaker 1: Pete Carroll. They know how to win games this time

441
00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:09,480
Speaker 1: of year. And the Cowboys for a lot of reasons.

442
00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:12,120
Speaker 1: To me, I don't know if they're I just don't

443
00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:13,879
Speaker 1: know if they beat the Seahawks on this stage in

444
00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:16,120
Speaker 1: this game, but I think it will come right down

445
00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:18,520
Speaker 1: to the end of the fourth quarter. Mark. I remember

446
00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:21,680
Speaker 1: weeks ago you were saying you couldn't wait to see

447
00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:24,480
Speaker 1: the Seahawks on wild card weekend because they were going

448
00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:28,440
Speaker 1: to drop a hammer on some unsuspecting team like the Cowboys.

449
00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:31,120
Speaker 1: I name the Cowboys, but I I kind of feel

450
00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:34,720
Speaker 1: that the Cowboys, to West's point, their strengths, their defense

451
00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:36,480
Speaker 1: are not gonna go away in this game, and so

452
00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:38,720
Speaker 1: it's gonna be real tight. But I trust Pete Carroll.

453
00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:40,720
Speaker 1: My poem is I trust Pete Carroll and the coaching

454
00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:43,240
Speaker 1: staff much more than I trust Dallas Is. Outside of

455
00:23:43,359 --> 00:23:46,160
Speaker 1: Rod Mirornili, the Seahawks are different too, with kJ right

456
00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:49,680
Speaker 1: on the field and he's been out there and to him,

457
00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:52,920
Speaker 1: Puna Ford is playing unbelievable. Jarren Reid had has the

458
00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:56,760
Speaker 1: quietest eleven sackt QB hits twenty six are e season

459
00:23:57,200 --> 00:23:59,560
Speaker 1: of a defensive tackle I can think of like they're

460
00:23:59,600 --> 00:24:01,919
Speaker 1: coming on and there are different offense with Doug Baldwin.

461
00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:03,800
Speaker 1: Maybe I don't feel too bad about this. I like

462
00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:06,600
Speaker 1: the Seahawks as game. All right, you're gonna join me

463
00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:11,119
Speaker 1: in the lock now. Cowboys offense is last in points, yards,

464
00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:14,439
Speaker 1: and red zone percentage among the playoff teams. A lot

465
00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:16,600
Speaker 1: of pressure on deck to get to twenty points. Here

466
00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:19,320
Speaker 1: because they are nine and oh they're undefeated when they

467
00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:21,720
Speaker 1: scored twenty and they are seven and one at home.

468
00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:26,800
Speaker 1: I'm picking the Cowboys in a close one Saturday night,

469
00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:30,119
Speaker 1: Joe Buck. We often watch those games together as a

470
00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:32,760
Speaker 1: group or some form of a group. Will that be happening.

471
00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:36,159
Speaker 1: That doesn't sound like a bad idea. I'll be in

472
00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:38,399
Speaker 1: for it, but not my schedule. Let's move on to

473
00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:43,159
Speaker 1: Sunday now, the number five seed Chargers travel to Baltimore

474
00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:47,960
Speaker 1: to face the Ravens. Uh And here we are. The

475
00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:51,120
Speaker 1: Chargers have one of their best seasons in years, going

476
00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:54,920
Speaker 1: twelve and four. They have the bad luck of being

477
00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:57,960
Speaker 1: in the same division as the Kansas City Chiefs. So

478
00:24:58,040 --> 00:24:59,920
Speaker 1: in this case, twelve wins doesn't even get you to

479
00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:02,240
Speaker 1: vision title would put you which put you on the road,

480
00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:05,680
Speaker 1: and just so's luck would have it for a team

481
00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:07,720
Speaker 1: and a franchise that hasn't had a lot of luck

482
00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:11,400
Speaker 1: in its history, it has to go on the road

483
00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:16,919
Speaker 1: to Baltimore, the same Ravens team that really, I mean,

484
00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:18,880
Speaker 1: I know the game was close, Greg, and you talked

485
00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:23,000
Speaker 1: about it on Wednesday's show that or Tuesday that. Um,

486
00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:25,359
Speaker 1: they were Chargers were hanging in that game, and they

487
00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:27,119
Speaker 1: had a shot right down to the end until that

488
00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:30,480
Speaker 1: big Antonio Gates turnover that led to the touchdown going

489
00:25:30,520 --> 00:25:33,080
Speaker 1: back the other way. But that was as thorough a

490
00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:37,960
Speaker 1: one sided affair as I remember, um uh when the

491
00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:40,760
Speaker 1: score wasn't that far apart. So it's a twelve point game,

492
00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:43,040
Speaker 1: but it felt like more than that. And I would

493
00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:46,560
Speaker 1: think that this game for the Chargers is a worst

494
00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:50,560
Speaker 1: case scenario for them after what an amazing season they had. Well,

495
00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:54,359
Speaker 1: this got me thinking, like, and what matters more when

496
00:25:54,400 --> 00:25:57,160
Speaker 1: you're looking at these matchups. We keep talking about last week?

497
00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:01,240
Speaker 1: But what matters more last week, the two three weeks,

498
00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:03,680
Speaker 1: let's say for the Chargers or the whole season. I'm

499
00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:05,720
Speaker 1: asking as a as a legit question because I don't

500
00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:09,359
Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't know what's more predictive. I'd

501
00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:13,119
Speaker 1: like to think that the entire season matters the most.

502
00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:16,040
Speaker 1: If you're healthy, and the Chargers are healthy, I mean

503
00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:19,639
Speaker 1: Keenan Allen's they're healthy ish, They're they're as healthy as

504
00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:21,760
Speaker 1: they've been. They have Melvin Gordon playing, they have Austin

505
00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:24,520
Speaker 1: Ekeler playing, they have Keenan Allen playing. They're not missing

506
00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:27,600
Speaker 1: significant players suddenly out of nowhere. Well, allow me allow

507
00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:30,399
Speaker 1: me to retort, No, I'm actually asking. I don't know.

508
00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:33,800
Speaker 1: Maybe the last few weeks does matter Morelvin Gordon injured

509
00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:36,840
Speaker 1: his ankle and left the game last week in a

510
00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:39,280
Speaker 1: game in which he didn't look nearly as explosive as

511
00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:41,320
Speaker 1: he did for the majority of the season. So that's

512
00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:45,600
Speaker 1: an injury. That's a problem. Jitavis Brown linebacker out for

513
00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:48,960
Speaker 1: the year. They have lost their three best linebackers this

514
00:26:49,119 --> 00:26:51,359
Speaker 1: year and now they're playing the best running team of

515
00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:54,600
Speaker 1: the last forty years. So I think injuries are a

516
00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:57,080
Speaker 1: factor for the Chargers, and I think that those are

517
00:26:57,119 --> 00:26:58,560
Speaker 1: the two big ones. Well, I think one of the

518
00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:01,480
Speaker 1: reasons that it cannot get out of their own way

519
00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:04,200
Speaker 1: down the stretch in that game because score wise it

520
00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:07,399
Speaker 1: was close, and we always focus on the Ravens and

521
00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:09,120
Speaker 1: their ability to run the ball, and they were able

522
00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:12,080
Speaker 1: to do that in chunks. I thought Mark Andrews had

523
00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:14,159
Speaker 1: and has has come on for Baltimore and made some

524
00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:17,160
Speaker 1: big plays along with Lamar Jackson finding him. But they

525
00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:20,639
Speaker 1: got two rivers big time down the stretch. They put

526
00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:22,040
Speaker 1: a hurt on him and had a couple of big

527
00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:24,680
Speaker 1: sacks that ended drives, and I think it comes down

528
00:27:24,760 --> 00:27:28,639
Speaker 1: to the Chargers line. You cannot let that repeat itself

529
00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:32,800
Speaker 1: in Baltimore. Yeah, they they got man handles. I I

530
00:27:32,960 --> 00:27:35,760
Speaker 1: do think that the brown showed a little something for

531
00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:38,040
Speaker 1: the race. The Ravens aren't. The Ravens are a really

532
00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:40,840
Speaker 1: good defense and they're really tough team to game planned for.

533
00:27:41,119 --> 00:27:43,440
Speaker 1: They're not fast. I mean, I don't know if there's

534
00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:46,080
Speaker 1: a slower safety duo in the league than Tony Jefferson

535
00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:48,639
Speaker 1: and Eric Weddle. And I think the Browns kind of

536
00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:50,080
Speaker 1: hit him on that. And you think of what are

537
00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:52,679
Speaker 1: the what are the Chargers do well? They can run vertical,

538
00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:55,880
Speaker 1: They have these receivers, Like can they give Rivers enough

539
00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:58,840
Speaker 1: time to throw a few bombs? Because you would think

540
00:27:58,880 --> 00:28:00,399
Speaker 1: you'd be able to throw it over the top of

541
00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:02,000
Speaker 1: them a casion. I would say the one thing that

542
00:28:02,119 --> 00:28:04,240
Speaker 1: they coming out of that game, when you find out

543
00:28:04,359 --> 00:28:06,720
Speaker 1: how much that they blitzed Cleveland and what they're probably

544
00:28:06,760 --> 00:28:09,080
Speaker 1: gonna try to do to Rivers as well. They blitzed

545
00:28:09,080 --> 00:28:12,080
Speaker 1: them twenty two times, and and on those blitzes, force

546
00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:15,120
Speaker 1: three picks and allowed a two point five passer rating,

547
00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:18,600
Speaker 1: the lowest in the game since two and if why

548
00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:21,320
Speaker 1: is the formula that different with Philip Rivers after what

549
00:28:21,400 --> 00:28:23,119
Speaker 1: they did to him last time? Right, it was just

550
00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:24,680
Speaker 1: a few weeks ago, But I don't know. Don't you

551
00:28:24,760 --> 00:28:26,720
Speaker 1: think if they played that game, and don't you think

552
00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:28,800
Speaker 1: that they played that game a lot, it turns out

553
00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:31,119
Speaker 1: different that first game. I agree, it was never right.

554
00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:34,119
Speaker 1: He threw an interception literally on the first right away

555
00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:35,920
Speaker 1: the game. The tone of the game was, it was

556
00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:38,400
Speaker 1: it was messed up and there and I've been killing

557
00:28:38,440 --> 00:28:42,200
Speaker 1: their their offensive line and that concerns me. Uh and

558
00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:46,880
Speaker 1: and the Ravens front with Michael Pierce and Brandon Williams especially,

559
00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:49,440
Speaker 1: just they're so hard to run against. And that's what's

560
00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:51,600
Speaker 1: made the Charges kind of special this year is they

561
00:28:51,680 --> 00:28:54,200
Speaker 1: keep you off balance like they you know, I don't

562
00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:56,160
Speaker 1: think Rivers has been that different, but the running game

563
00:28:56,200 --> 00:28:58,400
Speaker 1: has been different, and they've been able to be balanced.

564
00:28:58,400 --> 00:29:00,640
Speaker 1: Then that is gonna be hard against the ray I admit,

565
00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:04,040
Speaker 1: but I'm rooting for. But the Ravens are so different

566
00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:07,000
Speaker 1: than all the other teams in the NFL, from their

567
00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:11,560
Speaker 1: running percentage on offense to their defense, which Blitz is more,

568
00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:14,560
Speaker 1: more and better than just about anyone. So I do

569
00:29:14,760 --> 00:29:17,840
Speaker 1: think for the Chargers, like playing twice in three weeks,

570
00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:20,280
Speaker 1: that has to be a huge advantage for them because

571
00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:23,320
Speaker 1: they're seeing something so unique and they're seeing it a

572
00:29:23,440 --> 00:29:26,400
Speaker 1: second time. Then again, it's just a terrible matchup for

573
00:29:26,440 --> 00:29:28,760
Speaker 1: the Chargers, who aren't very good on offense right now.

574
00:29:28,840 --> 00:29:31,920
Speaker 1: They're just not good. Their running backs aren't healthy and

575
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:34,440
Speaker 1: playing well, their offensive line is not playing well, and

576
00:29:34,520 --> 00:29:37,120
Speaker 1: Philip Rivers has six interceptions over his last three games.

577
00:29:37,320 --> 00:29:39,240
Speaker 1: It's not a good offense right now. It's a big

578
00:29:39,280 --> 00:29:41,640
Speaker 1: game for Philip Rivers too, And and we all like

579
00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:44,640
Speaker 1: Philip Rivers in here, but he doesn't have the greatest

580
00:29:44,680 --> 00:29:48,680
Speaker 1: postseason resume. And how many more times was he thirty

581
00:29:48,680 --> 00:29:50,360
Speaker 1: six years old? Thirty seven years old? And how many

582
00:29:50,400 --> 00:29:52,400
Speaker 1: more times are you gonna have a chance to take

583
00:29:52,440 --> 00:29:55,560
Speaker 1: a twelve win team like the Chargers, even if they

584
00:29:55,560 --> 00:29:59,000
Speaker 1: are a little beat up right now, uh into the playoffs. So,

585
00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:02,560
Speaker 1: while it would be understandable if the Ravens held court

586
00:30:02,600 --> 00:30:04,440
Speaker 1: at home and took care of business, if Philip Rivers

587
00:30:04,520 --> 00:30:07,080
Speaker 1: plays the way he did in Week sixteen and the

588
00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:09,840
Speaker 1: Charges to go out quietly, what was this all about?

589
00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:11,520
Speaker 1: What was all this hype? And and all the fun.

590
00:30:11,760 --> 00:30:14,200
Speaker 1: It would be a huge downer. It would be a

591
00:30:14,320 --> 00:30:17,400
Speaker 1: huge right, I guess I'm saying because we do hand

592
00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:20,600
Speaker 1: out criticism to Eli and other quarterbacks when they falter.

593
00:30:21,160 --> 00:30:24,280
Speaker 1: If Philip Rivers has a dud here, he deserves a

594
00:30:24,320 --> 00:30:26,600
Speaker 1: lot of criticism for it, because you gotta figure out

595
00:30:26,600 --> 00:30:28,720
Speaker 1: a way to win games, and when you have these opportunities. Yeah,

596
00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:30,719
Speaker 1: it's a five year gap from their last playoff game.

597
00:30:30,760 --> 00:30:33,560
Speaker 1: What's to say they're gonna roll back into this situation

598
00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:35,920
Speaker 1: ever again with him at quarter right? And what's what's

599
00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:37,720
Speaker 1: not to say they're not going to roll right into

600
00:30:37,800 --> 00:30:40,400
Speaker 1: the super Bowl. You know, you ask who we trusted.

601
00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:44,080
Speaker 1: I trust Philip Rivers. I know the last three weeks

602
00:30:44,160 --> 00:30:46,040
Speaker 1: have been ugly, but this is one of the great

603
00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:49,560
Speaker 1: quarterbacks of our lifetime who's coming off what had been

604
00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:51,840
Speaker 1: one of the great seasons of his lifetime, and I'd

605
00:30:51,880 --> 00:30:54,200
Speaker 1: like to think the season matters more and the players

606
00:30:54,240 --> 00:30:56,880
Speaker 1: around him, especially the receivers, are really good, and that

607
00:30:57,000 --> 00:30:59,920
Speaker 1: he's so he would say, God, what does he say?

608
00:31:00,560 --> 00:31:02,920
Speaker 1: That gamm it that something like that. I mean, he

609
00:31:03,040 --> 00:31:06,200
Speaker 1: refuses to swear, so he just says that gumming. He's

610
00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:08,800
Speaker 1: one of the Dad Gammon, smartest quarterbacks in the league.

611
00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:11,960
Speaker 1: He can figure this. They can figure this secondary out.

612
00:31:12,120 --> 00:31:14,280
Speaker 1: He can figure it out. He can do something heroic.

613
00:31:14,360 --> 00:31:17,400
Speaker 1: I trust Philip Rivers's You've been like Mr Ravens for

614
00:31:17,480 --> 00:31:20,400
Speaker 1: like the past six weeks. So this is the Well,

615
00:31:20,440 --> 00:31:24,400
Speaker 1: they're fascinating now. They're fascinating to me, and this matchup

616
00:31:24,520 --> 00:31:27,360
Speaker 1: is fascinating, and I in my head believe they're a

617
00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:30,960
Speaker 1: better team, but my heart believes in Philip Rivers and

618
00:31:31,320 --> 00:31:34,000
Speaker 1: and wants to see them when and it's life is

619
00:31:34,040 --> 00:31:35,760
Speaker 1: too short not to just root for what you want

620
00:31:36,120 --> 00:31:39,840
Speaker 1: the gumm it And that's why you're going to trust

621
00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:42,160
Speaker 1: Philip Rivers. Watch that game at one East, No, all

622
00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:44,040
Speaker 1: four of us are locking up the Bears. What a

623
00:31:44,120 --> 00:31:48,360
Speaker 1: boring Uh what a boring week? Oh good, but that

624
00:31:49,440 --> 00:31:51,600
Speaker 1: I know that's right. We Uh well, I think that's

625
00:31:51,640 --> 00:31:55,160
Speaker 1: what happened because unless marks locking weight, everybody's locking up

626
00:31:55,160 --> 00:31:58,760
Speaker 1: the Bears. Yeah. We said we were last show changing chords.

627
00:31:58,800 --> 00:32:02,920
Speaker 1: I'm locking up the Ravens. They were charging. Oh that's beautiful.

628
00:32:03,280 --> 00:32:05,520
Speaker 1: I was stunned that nobody was after you said that

629
00:32:05,600 --> 00:32:08,280
Speaker 1: the Ravens are the best running team in forty years

630
00:32:08,400 --> 00:32:10,800
Speaker 1: and there's a bunch of ups guys in the linebacking corps.

631
00:32:10,960 --> 00:32:12,360
Speaker 1: I thought it was a lock that you were locking

632
00:32:12,400 --> 00:32:14,720
Speaker 1: the Ravens. Some stunned that you weren't. No this. The

633
00:32:14,800 --> 00:32:17,200
Speaker 1: more I studied this game, the more I like the Ravens,

634
00:32:17,720 --> 00:32:20,080
Speaker 1: and the less the more I look at what the

635
00:32:20,160 --> 00:32:23,160
Speaker 1: Charges have done recently. I just don't think their offense

636
00:32:23,280 --> 00:32:25,200
Speaker 1: is very How about their defense that don't you think

637
00:32:25,240 --> 00:32:27,760
Speaker 1: it'll be pretty tough. I think they're gonna get bowled over,

638
00:32:28,040 --> 00:32:30,960
Speaker 1: but they didn't in the first game. Relatively, the Ravens

639
00:32:30,960 --> 00:32:33,560
Speaker 1: actually ran for less against the Chargers than I think

640
00:32:33,560 --> 00:32:36,160
Speaker 1: against any team over the last seven Rooks and the Charges.

641
00:32:36,320 --> 00:32:38,640
Speaker 1: That's why they're didn't get bowled over, because the Ravens

642
00:32:38,640 --> 00:32:40,320
Speaker 1: didn't play up to how good they are, and the

643
00:32:40,480 --> 00:32:44,240
Speaker 1: Chargers defense isn't that good. There's strength Joey Bosa and

644
00:32:44,440 --> 00:32:47,640
Speaker 1: Ingram coming off the edge against the quarterback where it

645
00:32:47,720 --> 00:32:49,640
Speaker 1: coming off the edge doesn't really do much. I kind

646
00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:51,680
Speaker 1: of ran right at Bosa last time too. He didn't

647
00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:53,760
Speaker 1: not have a good game. I do not like the

648
00:32:53,880 --> 00:32:56,520
Speaker 1: Chargers at all in this game. But like Greg with

649
00:32:56,680 --> 00:33:00,320
Speaker 1: his heart rooting for Phil Rivers, I would I don't

650
00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:03,080
Speaker 1: want to be rooting against the Chargers. Uh So that's

651
00:33:03,160 --> 00:33:04,840
Speaker 1: kind of the main reason I stayed out of the

652
00:33:04,920 --> 00:33:07,640
Speaker 1: mix on this game. We'll see how let's not be

653
00:33:07,720 --> 00:33:09,480
Speaker 1: a prisoner at the moment either. This is a twelve

654
00:33:09,560 --> 00:33:12,320
Speaker 1: and four team that Football Outsiders Efficiency has him as

655
00:33:12,360 --> 00:33:14,120
Speaker 1: the third best team in the league over the course

656
00:33:14,120 --> 00:33:16,200
Speaker 1: of the regular season. They're a talented bunchet that you

657
00:33:16,320 --> 00:33:18,800
Speaker 1: said that Anthony Lynn hasn't even done that good a

658
00:33:18,840 --> 00:33:21,040
Speaker 1: coaching job, because they should be twelve and four, So

659
00:33:21,360 --> 00:33:23,200
Speaker 1: why not be able to flip a switch and play

660
00:33:23,320 --> 00:33:28,400
Speaker 1: much better? Because because, like I said, Melvin Gordon to

661
00:33:28,520 --> 00:33:30,320
Speaker 1: me was one of the three or four most impressive

662
00:33:30,360 --> 00:33:32,440
Speaker 1: running backs all year, and I would put him right

663
00:33:32,480 --> 00:33:35,160
Speaker 1: now about like the way he's running. He's just not

664
00:33:35,320 --> 00:33:38,040
Speaker 1: Melvin able to need like two big Lamar Jackson mistakes

665
00:33:38,560 --> 00:33:40,400
Speaker 1: to win this game. Hey, they aids the league and

666
00:33:40,440 --> 00:33:42,920

688
00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:04,239
Speaker 1: to our final game of wild Card Weekend, and it

689
00:35:04,600 --> 00:35:09,040
Speaker 1: is a game being played at four forty Eastern. The

690
00:35:09,160 --> 00:35:13,479
Speaker 1: Philadelphia Eagles, who on the strength of a three game

691
00:35:13,520 --> 00:35:16,840
Speaker 1: winning streak and a little bit of help from the outside,

692
00:35:17,520 --> 00:35:21,160
Speaker 1: have an opportunity to defend their championship in the playoffs

693
00:35:21,239 --> 00:35:24,080
Speaker 1: at nine and seven as the six seed wild card.

694
00:35:24,360 --> 00:35:27,080
Speaker 1: They have a tough battle here, Greg Rosenthal, because they

695
00:35:27,120 --> 00:35:30,680
Speaker 1: get the Chicago Bears, the team of around the NFL

696
00:35:30,840 --> 00:35:33,520
Speaker 1: team that went twelve and four, but in their division

697
00:35:33,800 --> 00:35:37,680
Speaker 1: that was good enough for the title, uh, the NFC

698
00:35:37,920 --> 00:35:40,560
Speaker 1: North title, which means they are home for this game.

699
00:35:41,280 --> 00:35:44,960
Speaker 1: The Bears at home with that defense, it feels like

700
00:35:45,120 --> 00:35:47,640
Speaker 1: it's their day. But the other side of the field

701
00:35:47,760 --> 00:35:50,640
Speaker 1: has a quarterback that does special things in January. It

702
00:35:50,760 --> 00:35:53,280
Speaker 1: does in earlier this you know he he does earlier

703
00:35:53,360 --> 00:35:56,320
Speaker 1: this week. You know. West asked me on our Twitter

704
00:35:56,400 --> 00:35:58,400
Speaker 1: show to be honest, who do I trust more, you know,

705
00:35:58,520 --> 00:36:01,080
Speaker 1: Nick Foles or the Bears the defense? And you know what,

706
00:36:01,200 --> 00:36:02,759
Speaker 1: he put me in a tough spot because I had

707
00:36:02,800 --> 00:36:04,759
Speaker 1: just done this false thing. Of course, I don't trust

708
00:36:04,880 --> 00:36:11,399
Speaker 1: Nick Foles as much as the Bears defense. I didn't

709
00:36:11,400 --> 00:36:14,719
Speaker 1: even I didn't really have an you're you're stuck, and

710
00:36:14,840 --> 00:36:16,600
Speaker 1: you stuck me in a bad spot. I don't do

711
00:36:16,719 --> 00:36:19,359
Speaker 1: this anymore because it rankles you. But sometimes you say

712
00:36:19,440 --> 00:36:22,040
Speaker 1: things I don't believe. No, that's not true. But full

713
00:36:22,160 --> 00:36:25,799
Speaker 1: I was. We cannot lie on our shows. I would say,

714
00:36:25,880 --> 00:36:29,000
Speaker 1: here's what I said. I said, fold what was um?

715
00:36:29,280 --> 00:36:31,359
Speaker 1: I mean? You know what you are. You're so knee

716
00:36:31,400 --> 00:36:35,120
Speaker 1: deep in these various narratives at this point, you lied

717
00:36:35,320 --> 00:36:37,880
Speaker 1: on I think what did I say? It was our confidence?

718
00:36:38,600 --> 00:36:40,960
Speaker 1: We have so many different Uh, we have so many

719
00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:45,560
Speaker 1: different games. I had put one in seventy eight. But

720
00:36:45,640 --> 00:36:53,040
Speaker 1: you could just ruined the whole the whole moment. How

721
00:36:53,120 --> 00:36:57,319
Speaker 1: can you trust anything more than the Bears defense right

722
00:36:57,400 --> 00:36:59,920
Speaker 1: now from what they've done for all sixteen weeks. So

723
00:37:00,160 --> 00:37:03,359
Speaker 1: I apologize to the team of a t L because

724
00:37:03,400 --> 00:37:06,319
Speaker 1: they are the most consistent team in the NFL. They

725
00:37:06,360 --> 00:37:09,680
Speaker 1: are They're the same every week. And them shutting down

726
00:37:09,760 --> 00:37:12,120
Speaker 1: the Vikings in a game that they didn't need to,

727
00:37:12,880 --> 00:37:16,239
Speaker 1: blitzing like crazy on third and one and making Kirk

728
00:37:16,280 --> 00:37:19,400
Speaker 1: Cousins just look like a little kid out there was

729
00:37:19,600 --> 00:37:21,320
Speaker 1: in a game they didn't need to win. With some

730
00:37:21,440 --> 00:37:25,560
Speaker 1: of the most baller championships I've seen from any team

731
00:37:25,960 --> 00:37:28,360
Speaker 1: in a long time, And it got me thinking that

732
00:37:28,640 --> 00:37:31,320
Speaker 1: that this is the the unit that I trust in

733
00:37:31,480 --> 00:37:33,600
Speaker 1: the most right now in the entire NFL. That's why

734
00:37:33,600 --> 00:37:38,000
Speaker 1: I'm locking them up against the nice lock. Kirk Cousins

735
00:37:38,040 --> 00:37:40,880
Speaker 1: is a chump bro. So maybe there's an idea, but

736
00:37:41,160 --> 00:37:43,600
Speaker 1: you got sucked in by a Vikings team that was

737
00:37:43,680 --> 00:37:46,640
Speaker 1: broken all season and Kirk Cousins, who was four and

738
00:37:46,719 --> 00:37:49,879
Speaker 1: down six against plus five hundred teams is now because

739
00:37:49,880 --> 00:37:53,200
Speaker 1: the Bears. The Bears are the same defense every week.

740
00:37:53,360 --> 00:37:56,719
Speaker 1: They're the same eleven guys playing as one there, Eddie

741
00:37:56,760 --> 00:38:00,080
Speaker 1: Goldman and Akiem Hicks being the best, maybe tough his

742
00:38:00,160 --> 00:38:03,719
Speaker 1: team to run on, causing disruption. They won that game

743
00:38:03,840 --> 00:38:06,960
Speaker 1: on offense too, with two long drives against a very

744
00:38:07,040 --> 00:38:11,360
Speaker 1: good defense with Josh Bellamy, Kevin White and who is

745
00:38:11,400 --> 00:38:15,200
Speaker 1: the other guy that you know, wh Whims was out

746
00:38:15,239 --> 00:38:19,200
Speaker 1: there and they're going sixteen plays, you know, two times

747
00:38:19,280 --> 00:38:21,920
Speaker 1: for touchdowns to the end the Viking season. That was

748
00:38:22,080 --> 00:38:24,960
Speaker 1: some next level like wow, what does this team have

749
00:38:25,080 --> 00:38:27,560
Speaker 1: in store for us? Next type stuff? They've only allowed

750
00:38:27,719 --> 00:38:30,200
Speaker 1: four touchdowns in the past five games on defense. I'm

751
00:38:30,239 --> 00:38:34,799
Speaker 1: locking this up to by the way, smart luck. It's

752
00:38:34,920 --> 00:38:36,640
Speaker 1: I have not shown much love to the team of

753
00:38:37,040 --> 00:38:41,480
Speaker 1: around the NFL, and that changes on this Sunday evening.

754
00:38:41,719 --> 00:38:43,480
Speaker 1: So there's only one person in the room then that

755
00:38:43,920 --> 00:38:46,279
Speaker 1: trust Nick Foles at this stage. No, I trust Nick

756
00:38:46,320 --> 00:38:49,640
Speaker 1: Foles fine, but not more than the best. I think

757
00:38:49,680 --> 00:38:52,280
Speaker 1: there are three things Nick Foles does better than Carson wins.

758
00:38:52,480 --> 00:38:55,040
Speaker 1: Let's hear. The first one, he throws a better deep ball.

759
00:38:55,800 --> 00:39:00,279
Speaker 1: He allows those receivers to make the play on the ball. UH. Second,

760
00:39:00,320 --> 00:39:03,719
Speaker 1: of all the matchups he sees pre snap. I think

761
00:39:03,800 --> 00:39:06,160
Speaker 1: he figures out what the defense is doing better than

762
00:39:06,239 --> 00:39:09,200
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz. And the third one is related to that.

763
00:39:09,920 --> 00:39:12,959
Speaker 1: He's the best quarterback in the league against the Blitz. Statistically,

764
00:39:13,680 --> 00:39:16,240
Speaker 1: he has a one thirty two rating, eighty one completion

765
00:39:16,360 --> 00:39:19,520
Speaker 1: rate nine point two yards pertend, don't don't blitz Nick Foles,

766
00:39:19,960 --> 00:39:23,240
Speaker 1: and I think that's why you saw straight completions, because

767
00:39:23,280 --> 00:39:25,840
Speaker 1: he identifies the right guy to throw too, throws with

768
00:39:25,920 --> 00:39:28,400
Speaker 1: touching accuracy in a short area, and gets out of

769
00:39:28,440 --> 00:39:30,640
Speaker 1: his hands quickly against the Blitz. And that's why I

770
00:39:30,840 --> 00:39:34,520
Speaker 1: trust Nick Foles more than anyone UH this week because

771
00:39:34,680 --> 00:39:37,760
Speaker 1: of the track record we've seen both during this winning

772
00:39:37,800 --> 00:39:40,239
Speaker 1: streak and when he was in the lineup UH in

773
00:39:40,320 --> 00:39:43,239
Speaker 1: the playoffs last year. I think again the house money

774
00:39:43,280 --> 00:39:46,520
Speaker 1: angle of this, he's playing with a ton of confidence. Uh,

775
00:39:46,600 --> 00:39:49,120
Speaker 1: the Eagles, they thought they never thought they would be here,

776
00:39:49,239 --> 00:39:52,000
Speaker 1: So the Bears. Meanwhile, it's been a while since the

777
00:39:52,040 --> 00:39:54,480
Speaker 1: Bear has been in the spot. There's gonna be pressure

778
00:39:54,520 --> 00:39:57,080
Speaker 1: on this Bears team. That stadium which is gonna be

779
00:39:57,160 --> 00:40:00,800
Speaker 1: going nuts at kickoff. That place can get if the

780
00:40:01,280 --> 00:40:03,520
Speaker 1: Bears starts slow. And you know who I don't trust

781
00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:07,400
Speaker 1: at this stage. Mitchell Trobinsky. And he's still a young passer,

782
00:40:07,760 --> 00:40:10,279
Speaker 1: and he and he's a dynamic young player, and he

783
00:40:10,320 --> 00:40:12,560
Speaker 1: has a lot of potential. But am I gonna sit

784
00:40:12,600 --> 00:40:14,759
Speaker 1: here and say I know for sure that he's not

785
00:40:14,800 --> 00:40:17,040
Speaker 1: gonna come out tight in his first career playoff game

786
00:40:17,400 --> 00:40:20,200
Speaker 1: against the seasoned Eagles team that is not going to

787
00:40:20,239 --> 00:40:21,960
Speaker 1: be scared off by the moment because they proved it

788
00:40:22,080 --> 00:40:26,200
Speaker 1: last year. I just think the Folds Trabinsky matchup favors

789
00:40:26,280 --> 00:40:29,120
Speaker 1: the Eagles, and that's the quarterback position. And I'm not

790
00:40:29,239 --> 00:40:32,000
Speaker 1: saying that the Eagles definitely win this game, but I'm

791
00:40:32,040 --> 00:40:34,160
Speaker 1: just saying they are not going to get blown out.

792
00:40:34,200 --> 00:40:35,800
Speaker 1: They are not going to go down like chumps like

793
00:40:35,920 --> 00:40:38,320
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins and the Minister. I totally agree with you,

794
00:40:38,360 --> 00:40:41,160
Speaker 1: and I also think Fletcher, Cox and Phillies defensive line

795
00:40:41,360 --> 00:40:44,239
Speaker 1: has been one of the more disruptive units in the

796
00:40:44,400 --> 00:40:46,719
Speaker 1: entire league and could make things very tough when I

797
00:40:46,800 --> 00:40:48,320
Speaker 1: locked this personally, on the one thing I thought of,

798
00:40:48,400 --> 00:40:50,400
Speaker 1: I am and I West. I just differ with you

799
00:40:50,520 --> 00:40:52,879
Speaker 1: on Trabinsky just in terms of how I feel about him.

800
00:40:52,880 --> 00:40:55,120
Speaker 1: But I feel like I'm locking up the quarterback I

801
00:40:55,200 --> 00:40:57,400
Speaker 1: trust the least in the of any quarterback in the

802
00:40:57,560 --> 00:41:00,520
Speaker 1: entire playoff gallery right here. And so that's you know,

803
00:41:00,640 --> 00:41:03,000
Speaker 1: the heat check for you, because usually that would be

804
00:41:03,040 --> 00:41:04,880
Speaker 1: the last thing you do in this exercise. I think

805
00:41:04,920 --> 00:41:07,040
Speaker 1: it's a safe lock because the Bears, I said for

806
00:41:07,160 --> 00:41:09,359
Speaker 1: all along, they're gonna romp. They're gonna win their first

807
00:41:09,360 --> 00:41:11,680
Speaker 1: playoff game and then lose their second. And how thin

808
00:41:11,800 --> 00:41:13,560
Speaker 1: they are. If you think that's gonna happen, I don't

809
00:41:13,600 --> 00:41:17,799
Speaker 1: think they're I think Drabinsky has played really well over

810
00:41:17,880 --> 00:41:22,239
Speaker 1: the last three weeks. He's really avoided mistakes or even

811
00:41:22,440 --> 00:41:25,600
Speaker 1: close to making mistakes. He's he's gonna miss throws. I

812
00:41:25,680 --> 00:41:27,600
Speaker 1: think that's just part of the package that he'll miss

813
00:41:27,600 --> 00:41:29,800
Speaker 1: a few but he comes up with some good plays.

814
00:41:30,239 --> 00:41:32,120
Speaker 1: And I don't know if it's the coaching or what

815
00:41:32,280 --> 00:41:35,920
Speaker 1: it is, but he started to like eliminate the throws

816
00:41:36,040 --> 00:41:39,560
Speaker 1: that he shouldn't make. And and you mentioned Foles, like

817
00:41:39,640 --> 00:41:42,600
Speaker 1: I gets me thinking about Dana Jeremiah was talking about

818
00:41:42,600 --> 00:41:44,600
Speaker 1: it earlier this week. He was in the draft room

819
00:41:44,600 --> 00:41:47,640
Speaker 1: when they drafted Nick Foles. Doug Peterson was the guy

820
00:41:47,760 --> 00:41:49,719
Speaker 1: who was stumping for Nick Foles. A lot of people

821
00:41:49,800 --> 00:41:53,360
Speaker 1: did not want him. Their room was disheartened, was really

822
00:41:53,400 --> 00:41:55,960
Speaker 1: depressed that Russell Wilson went a pick or two before

823
00:41:56,560 --> 00:41:59,279
Speaker 1: Peterson brought him to Kansas City. He brings him to Philadelphia.

824
00:41:59,320 --> 00:42:02,080
Speaker 1: These two guys is have a like. He knows Doug

825
00:42:02,120 --> 00:42:04,480
Speaker 1: Peterson's offense. There were some stats this week. No one

826
00:42:04,520 --> 00:42:06,919
Speaker 1: throws the ball faster than Nick Foles. No one throws

827
00:42:06,960 --> 00:42:09,960
Speaker 1: the ball shorter than Nick Foles. This is a quick game,

828
00:42:10,440 --> 00:42:12,560
Speaker 1: get the ball out of your hand. We're gonna beat

829
00:42:12,600 --> 00:42:14,239
Speaker 1: you with our play calls type of of and it

830
00:42:14,320 --> 00:42:16,000
Speaker 1: works pretty well. And if you're gonna beat the Bears,

831
00:42:16,280 --> 00:42:18,120
Speaker 1: that's kind of a good way to do it. I think.

832
00:42:18,160 --> 00:42:19,960
Speaker 1: So I will admit that the other guy who knows

833
00:42:20,040 --> 00:42:22,239
Speaker 1: Doug Peterson's offense is Matt Neggie. Mean, this is an

834
00:42:22,280 --> 00:42:24,799
Speaker 1: Andy Reid coaching tree game, and I think there's something

835
00:42:24,880 --> 00:42:27,000
Speaker 1: to be said about how they're gonna have to adjust

836
00:42:27,040 --> 00:42:29,640
Speaker 1: and read each other throughout. Mm hmm, this is gonna

837
00:42:29,680 --> 00:42:33,719
Speaker 1: be fun. Boys wild Card Weekend picked the score in

838
00:42:33,800 --> 00:42:37,359
Speaker 1: this one. All right, Mark, I think this is gonna

839
00:42:37,400 --> 00:42:44,000
Speaker 1: be a weird like Bears nineteen Eagles eighteen Bears thirty

840
00:42:44,080 --> 00:42:48,960
Speaker 1: one Eagles. That's about what I was going. Thirty to twenty.

841
00:42:49,600 --> 00:42:52,040
Speaker 1: I think they pull away. False. By the way, False

842
00:42:52,080 --> 00:42:55,240
Speaker 1: has played really well. He I don't think he's played

843
00:42:55,360 --> 00:42:57,560
Speaker 1: like he's not playing at the level he was playing

844
00:42:57,560 --> 00:42:59,080
Speaker 1: at the end of last season. I don't think he's

845
00:42:59,080 --> 00:43:01,840
Speaker 1: playing at it yet, much higher level than even Trabisky

846
00:43:01,920 --> 00:43:03,920
Speaker 1: has over last few weeks. He's had a couple interceptions.

847
00:43:04,480 --> 00:43:07,520
Speaker 1: He's playing as part of a really good team. Uh.

848
00:43:07,600 --> 00:43:09,440
Speaker 1: If I say trust Nick Foles, I can't then pick

849
00:43:09,440 --> 00:43:11,800
Speaker 1: against him. With all due respect to the team around

850
00:43:11,840 --> 00:43:17,040
Speaker 1: the NFL, the magic continues twenty six to twenty three.

851
00:43:18,200 --> 00:43:25,200
Speaker 1: The Eagles move on some disagreements. You're right, Yeah, Women's

852
00:43:25,440 --> 00:43:29,680
Speaker 1: ESPN is telling me you're getting a you're getting a

853
00:43:29,719 --> 00:43:33,839
Speaker 1: feeling in your woman body. Yeah, in my in my body,

854
00:43:33,920 --> 00:43:36,760
Speaker 1: that's a woman. I just I know, maybe your womanly

855
00:43:36,840 --> 00:43:40,200
Speaker 1: body should show more loyalty to the team of this podcast,

856
00:43:41,280 --> 00:43:44,440
Speaker 1: or maybe you're just getting flashbacks to why the Eagles

857
00:43:44,520 --> 00:43:47,759
Speaker 1: left you in a puddle of February. Well, think about it.

858
00:43:47,760 --> 00:43:49,200
Speaker 1: You would go the other way with Erica. You would

859
00:43:49,200 --> 00:43:51,920
Speaker 1: think she would be saying, oh, f that Nick Foles

860
00:43:52,040 --> 00:43:54,200
Speaker 1: is going down, He's going up in flames. But the

861
00:43:54,280 --> 00:43:56,040
Speaker 1: fact that her heart is still telling, I mean, she's

862
00:43:56,080 --> 00:43:58,319
Speaker 1: not gonna lie to our audience. It's like something saying

863
00:43:58,560 --> 00:44:02,600
Speaker 1: everything is just rip heating itself in the way that, yeah,

864
00:44:02,640 --> 00:44:05,600
Speaker 1: the Eagles are hot last year for longer, but not

865
00:44:05,840 --> 00:44:07,759
Speaker 1: like the Bears. You're right with mitratra Risk. It's just

866
00:44:07,840 --> 00:44:09,799
Speaker 1: not gonna. I want it to happen. I want them out,

867
00:44:09,840 --> 00:44:12,359
Speaker 1: but it's not going to Know what you're saying, time

868
00:44:12,440 --> 00:44:15,040
Speaker 1: is a flat circle. You're locking it up, Tim, Tim Posey,

869
00:44:15,320 --> 00:44:19,560
Speaker 1: I yeah, I am Wow. Time is a flat circle,

870
00:44:19,640 --> 00:44:25,680
Speaker 1: isn't it. Yeah, it's a digital concept, all right. Well,

871
00:44:25,719 --> 00:44:28,600
Speaker 1: when isn't the mass Singer coming back? What's the payoff?

872
00:44:28,920 --> 00:44:31,480
Speaker 1: What do you mean we had the Mass Singer drops

873
00:44:31,520 --> 00:44:33,239
Speaker 1: at the beginning. You know that you and Mark were

874
00:44:33,320 --> 00:44:36,080
Speaker 1: cooking up together. I had literally I had nothing to

875
00:44:36,239 --> 00:44:40,000
Speaker 1: do with that confirm. I don't even know what you

876
00:44:40,040 --> 00:44:42,759
Speaker 1: guys are talking about. I'm just waiting for I did not.

877
00:44:42,920 --> 00:44:46,319
Speaker 1: That was not something that I was part of. We'll

878
00:44:46,320 --> 00:44:50,120
Speaker 1: be back on Sunday night with Although it is interesting

879
00:44:50,120 --> 00:44:53,120
Speaker 1: Antonio Brown. I will say this about the Masks singer

880
00:44:53,200 --> 00:44:58,040
Speaker 1: star Um. His song was my Prerogative, My Prerogative by

881
00:44:58,840 --> 00:45:04,239
Speaker 1: Bobby Brown, which was for something that was pre taped ago.

882
00:45:04,440 --> 00:45:07,040
Speaker 1: Well that's weeks or months. There was that clip where

883
00:45:07,040 --> 00:45:09,000
Speaker 1: they're like, are you an NFL player? That they showed

884
00:45:09,040 --> 00:45:11,200
Speaker 1: about two months ago, So yeah, it seems like that

885
00:45:11,360 --> 00:45:14,399
Speaker 1: was pretty old. So the idea that that it would

886
00:45:14,600 --> 00:45:16,959
Speaker 1: foretell what was going to happen, or maybe he knew

887
00:45:17,520 --> 00:45:19,440
Speaker 1: that he was going to walk out on the Steelers

888
00:45:19,560 --> 00:45:22,040
Speaker 1: to create hype around his television show, which I wouldn't

889
00:45:22,040 --> 00:45:23,800
Speaker 1: put it past the man. Well, I think there's another

890
00:45:23,840 --> 00:45:26,840
Speaker 1: angle that probably Mike Tomlin was very much willing to

891
00:45:27,719 --> 00:45:31,040
Speaker 1: go all out in his actions in this whole drama

892
00:45:31,160 --> 00:45:33,080
Speaker 1: just to pretend that all this happened, and to have

893
00:45:33,239 --> 00:45:37,160
Speaker 1: this long press conference simply to make the masked UH Singer,

894
00:45:37,719 --> 00:45:40,600
Speaker 1: a bigger offering for Fox, which was a big ratings hit.

895
00:45:40,680 --> 00:45:43,480
Speaker 1: West your thoughts on the masks singer breaking out winning

896
00:45:43,520 --> 00:45:46,399
Speaker 1: its UH ratings battle and all key demos. I don't

897
00:45:46,480 --> 00:45:48,720
Speaker 1: know what the mass singer is. I have no interest

898
00:45:48,760 --> 00:45:55,680
Speaker 1: in knowing what the international we were talking about a players.

899
00:45:58,320 --> 00:46:03,319
Speaker 1: All right, that's it. We'll be back. All right, let's
