Speaker 1: the playoffs have changed the whole picture. There's high stakes

00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:07,520
Speaker 1: on the lead block, the Lee Buck. Let's do the guys,

20
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:11,680
Speaker 1: we thank you all very nice. Lots of playoffs, lots

21
00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:14,319
Speaker 1: of ins and outs in at one o'clock window on Sunday,

22
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:17,800
Speaker 1: there is a lot of fans wanting things to happen, players,

23
00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:21,160
Speaker 1: coach is interested in this close Jags game. Stacy Dales

24
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:25,000
Speaker 1: has the latest in the apes heste Good morning, k

25
00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:28,600
Speaker 1: The Colts travel to Jacksonville on Sunday looking to accomplish

26
00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:31,840
Speaker 1: two big things. The biggest, of course, to win and

27
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:34,720
Speaker 1: play on live on if you will, into the playoffs,

28
00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:38,240
Speaker 1: and the second to avenge a sixth game losing streak

29
00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:41,280
Speaker 1: dating all the way back to two fifteen on the

30
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:44,759
Speaker 1: road at Jacksonville. Head coach Frank Reich indeed told us

31
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:47,480
Speaker 1: this week they've addressed the elephant in the room, bringing

32
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:51,960
Speaker 1: his players together on Wednesday morning, essentially saying, hey, I

33
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:54,440
Speaker 1: don't want to overstate it, but the facts are the facts.

34
00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:57,360
Speaker 1: It's important to note everybody needs to be dialed in.

35
00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:00,200
Speaker 1: De Forrest Buckner from the defense said he believes some

36
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:02,480
Speaker 1: mental thing and of course they have to have the

37
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:07,280
Speaker 1: right mindset. For the Colts. Everything starts, especially offensively with

38
00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:10,160
Speaker 1: right now the best rusher in football, Jonathan Taylor. In

39
00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:13,360
Speaker 1: their run game. Josh Allen, defensive end for the Jags,

40
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:15,440
Speaker 1: told me this week, we got to hit him fast,

41
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:17,560
Speaker 1: we got to hit him hard. We know what type

42
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:19,560
Speaker 1: of game it's going to be. They know what type

43
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:21,680
Speaker 1: of game it's going to be. The best team is

44
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:23,679
Speaker 1: going to come out on top. As a reminder, the

45
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:26,840
Speaker 1: Colts beat the Jags back in week ten in Indy, Okay.

46
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:31,120
Speaker 1: Good reminder, Dales, appreciate you. Obviously, plenty of playoff implications

47
00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:33,880
Speaker 1: in this one. Jonathan Taylor still he's all something to

48
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:36,160
Speaker 1: say about this MVP. Can he make it his with

49
00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:38,840
Speaker 1: a mega game? A Jamar Chase esque weeks of a

50
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:42,480
Speaker 1: teen performance. While sickleous, some the top contenders impressive seasons

51
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:45,040
Speaker 1: across the board. There's still one game left to play,

52
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 1: of course, too. On Saturday. They've got a bunch on Sunday.

53
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:50,200
Speaker 1: The backers have already locked up the one scene, so

54
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:53,400
Speaker 1: we don't know how much Aaron Rodgers will see on Sunday.

55
00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:55,120
Speaker 1: He did saying is pressor the speak. He wants to

56
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:57,240
Speaker 1: be out there with his guys, but the rest of

57
00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:00,960
Speaker 1: these gentlemen have plenty to play for. Here's the question,

58
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:03,160
Speaker 1: and not that easy of a question. Peter could a

59
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:07,000
Speaker 1: breakout performance in Week eighteen, decide the MVP. I look

60
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:09,799
Speaker 1: at those Rogers stats and they're incredible, and I watch

61
00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:11,760
Speaker 1: Rogers play in the game is in slow motion. He

62
00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:14,560
Speaker 1: is the best quarterback in football this year, and I

63
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:17,040
Speaker 1: believe he will win the MVP award. Let me make

64
00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:19,000
Speaker 1: a case for Cooper Cup. Okay, make a case for

65
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:21,520
Speaker 1: Cooper Cup. Let me set the stage here. Let's going

66
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:24,239
Speaker 1: into this game, Cooper Cup right now with a sixteen

67
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:26,680
Speaker 1: game schedule as the first player in NFL history to

68
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:29,720
Speaker 1: have in one season one hundred twenty five catches, fifteen

69
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:33,080
Speaker 1: hundred yards and fifteen touches, first president player ever. If

70
00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:35,720
Speaker 1: he goes ahead and he has a day on Sunday

71
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:38,920
Speaker 1: where's one hundred and thirty six receiving yards and twelve catches,

72
00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:42,480
Speaker 1: he becomes a single season record holder for both catches

73
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:46,280
Speaker 1: and receiving touchdowns in a season. He's already going to

74
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:49,040
Speaker 1: be the triple Crown winner. That's only even done three times.

75
00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:51,400
Speaker 1: They're great Jerry Rice and great Sterling Sharp and of

76
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:54,720
Speaker 1: course Steve Smith in two thousand and five, all those records.

77
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:57,280
Speaker 1: But let me set the stage here. If Rogers doesn't

78
00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:00,720
Speaker 1: play on Sunday, which I don't think he will. There's

79
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:02,840
Speaker 1: a situation where the Rams are winning in against the

80
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:05,440
Speaker 1: forty nine ers, and let's just set the stage of

81
00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:08,040
Speaker 1: all right, they need to win this game. It's going

82
00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:10,640
Speaker 1: to eliminate for everyone at home is watching this game.

83
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:13,560
Speaker 1: It's Ekman and Buck on the call, and Cooper Cup

84
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:17,640
Speaker 1: goes absolutely bonkers. And let's say he does go eighteen catches,

85
00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:21,480
Speaker 1: not crazy. Let's say he goes two hundred yards, not crazy.

86
00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:23,440
Speaker 1: We saw Jamar Chase have sixty more yards in that

87
00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:26,640
Speaker 1: last week. Let's say he has three touchdowns and smashes

88
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:31,719
Speaker 1: smashes the receptions record, smashes the receiving yards record, and

89
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:33,520
Speaker 1: puts up the best numbers we've ever seen from the

90
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:36,240
Speaker 1: wide receiver position while also carrying his team to an

91
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:40,080
Speaker 1: division title and eliminating their arch rivals on national television

92
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:43,560
Speaker 1: with everyone watching. I think there's some consideration to be had.

93
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:48,320
Speaker 1: Rogers unbelievable always is. Is this Rogers's best season? I

94
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:52,719
Speaker 1: don't know. Was this an undeniable Rogers MVP season? I

95
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:55,120
Speaker 1: don't know. I do know this Cooper Cup did something

96
00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:57,080
Speaker 1: at the wide receiver position, and I've got a Hall

97
00:04:57,120 --> 00:04:59,680
Speaker 1: of famer to my right, probably steaming right now that

98
00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:01,559
Speaker 1: no one's ever done in the history of the sport.

99
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:03,880
Speaker 1: And he's still got one more game to play. Not

100
00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:05,400
Speaker 1: his fault, there's no other game on the schedule. We

101
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:08,520
Speaker 1: can smash records. Yeah, you gotta hear from the Jamo.

102
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:11,760
Speaker 1: Tia left first, though, Peter, I'm sorry, chopped liver over here.

103
00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:15,279
Speaker 1: I mean, Jesus, I actually all City, Yeah, you know,

104
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:19,279
Speaker 1: nineteen ninety five honorable mention, All State ills. I'll put

105
00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:21,640
Speaker 1: my resume up against anybody. I actually do think this

106
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:24,640
Speaker 1: week could could shake things up. I feel like, if

107
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:26,800
Speaker 1: we're in a legal drama or law and this is

108
00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:29,200
Speaker 1: the closing arguments, you stand up one last time, get

109
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:30,680
Speaker 1: in front of the jury. And I actually think the

110
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:33,600
Speaker 1: schedule gods play a huge part in this because Rogers

111
00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:35,920
Speaker 1: is going against the hapless Lions. Not a lot to

112
00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:40,120
Speaker 1: sport there, Taylor against the hapless Jags, Brady at home

113
00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:42,760
Speaker 1: against the Panthers, Cup in the number one Fox game

114
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:44,920
Speaker 1: the afternoon with a lot of eyeballs against a very

115
00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:47,520
Speaker 1: good team, and this whole storyline about they can't beat

116
00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:49,640
Speaker 1: the n Eyes. That does do things. I don't think

117
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:52,240
Speaker 1: it's contingent upon the records, because the Cup's own admission,

118
00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:54,520
Speaker 1: the records are different this year. I don't think he

119
00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:56,679
Speaker 1: needs to break the records. I think if Cooper Cup

120
00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:59,520
Speaker 1: in a time in a week when I think every

121
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:02,760
Speaker 1: single MVP voter is gonna just sit there and just say,

122
00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:05,159
Speaker 1: let me make sure I got this right because of

123
00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:07,160
Speaker 1: what's gone on with the HUB thing and all that, Like,

124
00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:10,480
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna make sure I'm voting how what I feel.

125
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:12,000
Speaker 1: Maybe I'm madeup my mind a few weeks ago. I'm

126
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:13,840
Speaker 1: gonna take a deep breath and reassess. I'm gonna watch

127
00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:16,480
Speaker 1: these Week eighteen games and see who's who. I think

128
00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:18,280
Speaker 1: if he goes out and it's not the records, it's

129
00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:20,600
Speaker 1: it's twelve for one, sixty and two touchdowns and you

130
00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:22,520
Speaker 1: sit and you're like, damn it. I think he's the

131
00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:24,080
Speaker 1: best player in the league this year. He just had

132
00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:26,200
Speaker 1: a prolific game to launch his team and of the

133
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:28,920
Speaker 1: playoffs ruin the Niners dreams. I'd come out this way

134
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:31,760
Speaker 1: because we were talking yesterday in the commercial break, mostly

135
00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:33,320
Speaker 1: K and I were talking about like, how do you

136
00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:35,080
Speaker 1: pick this thing? We're just kind of debating and everything.

137
00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:37,440
Speaker 1: Is it stats is everything. You watch the games every

138
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:39,800
Speaker 1: single week and you just say, that's the most dominant

139
00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:44,960
Speaker 1: consistent players. That's my metric. Aaron Rodgers season, it's not historic.

140
00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:49,000
Speaker 1: Tom Brady is excellent, Jonathan Taylor season excellent. They're not

141
00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:53,320
Speaker 1: that special in the context. They're really not. The only

142
00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:56,440
Speaker 1: one with a special historic season is the wide receiver

143
00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:59,240
Speaker 1: for the Rams. If he hasn't huge Week eighteen, I

144
00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:01,400
Speaker 1: think he can flip the table. I do. These two

145
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:06,359
Speaker 1: they're crazy. They're crazy because wide receivers and the history

146
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:08,680
Speaker 1: of wide receivers based on the people that vote for it,

147
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:12,120
Speaker 1: forget your opinion. They don't think they're significant enough. Now,

148
00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:14,400
Speaker 1: you guys, this has been a great season. Yes, Cooper Cup,

149
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:16,560
Speaker 1: it is a great story. He does a great job

150
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:19,480
Speaker 1: in that offense, moving in through all the positions. They

151
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:21,880
Speaker 1: highlight him in a great way. But this is a

152
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:25,800
Speaker 1: quarterback league and we got a guy, the greatest player

153
00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:28,400
Speaker 1: we've ever had, who had a great season coming off

154
00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:30,440
Speaker 1: of the Super Bowl the one year after he left

155
00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:32,960
Speaker 1: New England. So even if I was saying, okay, if

156
00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:36,520
Speaker 1: there's Tom Brady versus Cooper Cup, what Cooper Cup is

157
00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:39,720
Speaker 1: doing is not more special than what Tom Brady did

158
00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:42,559
Speaker 1: in Tampa Bay this year, coming off a seven Super

159
00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:45,559
Speaker 1: Bowl win last year in Tampa Bay and the winner

160
00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:48,040
Speaker 1: of the war. Now, I do have a little thought

161
00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:50,080
Speaker 1: in my head after you mentioned it yesterday. Let's give

162
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:52,200
Speaker 1: us some hope. Man, these guys, no one will know

163
00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:55,560
Speaker 1: what they vote for. It's anonymous, and they'll get in

164
00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:58,040
Speaker 1: that room, they'll start spreading their little stuff. And I

165
00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:00,800
Speaker 1: believe that certain people will not vote for Aaron Rodgers.

166
00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:03,240
Speaker 1: I do believe though he was the most dominant player

167
00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:06,840
Speaker 1: that we had this season, So I do believe over

168
00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:09,960
Speaker 1: the last three or four days he will lose some votes,

169
00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:12,440
Speaker 1: even though he didn't play, even though he's probably not

170
00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:15,640
Speaker 1: going to play in Detroit, but he has been the

171
00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:20,360
Speaker 1: most dominant player given everything from Week number one where

172
00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:23,000
Speaker 1: they got smashed. Remember I told him, Hey, if you're

173
00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:26,000
Speaker 1: going to get divorced, don't warn the chick. Remember that?

174
00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:29,000
Speaker 1: Remember that? Yeah, he warned them. It's still is able

175
00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:32,120
Speaker 1: to live successfully. Aaron Rodgers is the MVP of the

176
00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:34,280
Speaker 1: twenty twenty months. I agree with you that a non

177
00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:37,120
Speaker 1: quarterback can only win if there's a standout. But I

178
00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:41,440
Speaker 1: don't know anything that you're saying about Tom Brady about

179
00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:43,840
Speaker 1: what he's done before. I don't care about. If I'm

180
00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:45,800
Speaker 1: one of those voters, I would hope that they don't care.

181
00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:47,440
Speaker 1: It should be in a vacuum. It should be the

182
00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:50,360
Speaker 1: regular season for this year. So the narrative like that's

183
00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:52,679
Speaker 1: your Hall of Fame testimony. That's like do that at

184
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:55,240
Speaker 1: another time in another place. If you don't think age

185
00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:57,800
Speaker 1: has something to do with it, absolutely, but in a

186
00:08:57,880 --> 00:08:59,560
Speaker 1: vacuum of this year, and then if you look at

187
00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:02,520
Speaker 1: the number, they're comparable. So my sugge or my question

188
00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:04,400
Speaker 1: is because it should be per year. So Ry, this

189
00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:07,080
Speaker 1: whole Derrick Henry Jonathan Taylor thing never sat well with

190
00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:09,280
Speaker 1: me at all because what Derrick Henry did last year,

191
00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:11,400
Speaker 1: there was one standout. He ran away with it. He

192
00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:13,440
Speaker 1: lit the world on fire, and his name is Aaron Rodgers.

193
00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:15,880
Speaker 1: If it's close between people are on the fence between

194
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:18,319
Speaker 1: Brady and Rogers, is there a world where then those

195
00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:21,200
Speaker 1: voters are like, I'm there's not one standout? Do I

196
00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:22,760
Speaker 1: throw it in the favor of a Cooper Cup? Is

197
00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:26,080
Speaker 1: that possible? I think if if Brady didn't lose nine

198
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:30,280
Speaker 1: nothing to the Saints, but Rogers has won the last

199
00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:32,960
Speaker 1: six weeks to your point, able to boom boom boom boom,

200
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:35,319
Speaker 1: knock him out and it's like it's hitting his Drogers

201
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:37,760
Speaker 1: nine nothing game was week one, Like, yeah, I thought

202
00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:41,000
Speaker 1: point that was over early. To your point about Brady

203
00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:43,640
Speaker 1: or Rodgers, Brady Rogers, could it beat Taylor. That's kind

204
00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:46,199
Speaker 1: of like the Bernie Sanders equivalent, you know, when it's

205
00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:48,640
Speaker 1: these two but the third like the libertarian candidate or

206
00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:51,560
Speaker 1: something like that. Nader, I think that I hate the

207
00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:54,080
Speaker 1: matchup for Taylor because if he has two hundred yards

208
00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:57,120
Speaker 1: against the stupid Jaguars, no one, like no one's going

209
00:09:57,160 --> 00:09:58,800
Speaker 1: to be impressed with that, you know what I mean.

210
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:01,640
Speaker 1: If he was playing some team that's fighting to get

211
00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:03,600
Speaker 1: in this weekend, he did it. That is such a

212
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:06,360
Speaker 1: big difference. One thing that I do have to say

213
00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:09,800
Speaker 1: is watching all three of these remarkable seasons, Moss's season

214
00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:13,000
Speaker 1: in New England, Calvin Johnson season in Detroit, and Cooper Cup.

215
00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:16,600
Speaker 1: Cooper Cup is the least dominant of the three players

216
00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:18,800
Speaker 1: when I watched the game, like can this guy take

217
00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:20,880
Speaker 1: over the game? Those other two did that on a

218
00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:25,440
Speaker 1: regular basis. Cooper Cup this year is head over DeVante Adams,

219
00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:28,120
Speaker 1: who might be the best actual wide receiver. It shouldn't

220
00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:30,560
Speaker 1: like I don't care about the other years. Why it's

221
00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:33,240
Speaker 1: not we're not talking about best of all time. We're

222
00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:35,760
Speaker 1: talking like Derreck Henry could have won it last year,

223
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:37,800
Speaker 1: but there was no chance because in that year, which

224
00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:40,640
Speaker 1: is all that should matter is these seventeen games or

225
00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:43,720
Speaker 1: sixteen whatever it is per season. So like it doesn't

226
00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:46,560
Speaker 1: matter like Randy Moss has no bearing on Cooper Cup

227
00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:50,080
Speaker 1: in this conversation, Derek Harry should have nothing. The reason

228
00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:52,680
Speaker 1: why it's goause those are the most remarkable seasons and

229
00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:54,960
Speaker 1: you compare them in a vacuum. When I saw Moss

230
00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:57,560
Speaker 1: in New England, he was more dominant. Yeah, so when

231
00:10:57,559 --> 00:10:59,240
Speaker 1: you're talk you're trying to break it down to the

232
00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:02,640
Speaker 1: finest things because it's not a matter what the stats are. Yeah,

233
00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:04,800
Speaker 1: what did these guys do when the game is on

234
00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:06,880
Speaker 1: the line. Who was the most dominant player? I just

235
00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:09,480
Speaker 1: don't believe he's the MVP at GMF with your thoughts

236
00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:12,400
Speaker 1: as we welcome and Ian Rappaport this morning. The Buccaneers

237
00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:15,840
Speaker 1: made it officially yesterday releasing Antonio Brown. We all saw

238
00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:18,520
Speaker 1: him exit the field last Sunday. What else went into

239
00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:21,760
Speaker 1: that decision. What does the future hold for future Hall

240
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:24,520
Speaker 1: of Famer question mark Antonio Brown. Yeah, that'll be an

241
00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:28,600
Speaker 1: interesting discussion among the many, many Hall of Fame voters.

242
00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:30,600
Speaker 1: But let's get to Antonio Brown. As far as when

243
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:33,560
Speaker 1: they started, it did not start on Sunday. It started

244
00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:36,319
Speaker 1: actually the middle of last week when Antonio Brown and

245
00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:38,400
Speaker 1: his agent went to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and asked

246
00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:42,120
Speaker 1: them to fully guarantee his one million dollars in incentive.

247
00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:44,800
Speaker 1: He was close to getting it, probably would have taken

248
00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:46,440
Speaker 1: one more game to do it, but he went to

249
00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:48,880
Speaker 1: them and said, can you guarantee? This? Not really something

250
00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:51,440
Speaker 1: teams do. That's why they're incentives. You have to earn it.

251
00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:54,080
Speaker 1: But that is why some of the frustrations started. Then

252
00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:57,640
Speaker 1: his ankle was acting up, I guess on Thursday and Friday,

253
00:11:57,640 --> 00:11:59,480
Speaker 1: and he was not able to practice. They went through

254
00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:02,719
Speaker 1: to walk through on Saturday, looked really good, and then

255
00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:06,000
Speaker 1: ended up playing on Sunday, but something was clearly wrong,

256
00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:08,400
Speaker 1: didn't look like. He joined the team huddle before the

257
00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:11,120
Speaker 1: game on Sunday. Then he went into the locker room

258
00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:15,760
Speaker 1: unhappy with his targets and was very upset. Essentially through

259
00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:17,960
Speaker 1: a fit. Let everyone knew know that he was not

260
00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:21,320
Speaker 1: happy with his targets. As Bruce Arian said yesterday, calmed

261
00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:23,920
Speaker 1: that down, got out to the field, he sat on

262
00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:27,959
Speaker 1: the bench and refused to enter the game, he says,

263
00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:30,720
Speaker 1: claiming it was his foot. The Buccaneers say that was

264
00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:33,760
Speaker 1: not the case at all, and then Bruce Arian said,

265
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:37,440
Speaker 1: you're gone. So then why did it take so long

266
00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:41,280
Speaker 1: for Antonio Brown to actually be released? From what I understand, Kay,

267
00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:44,280
Speaker 1: the Bucks wanted him to get help. They wanted him

268
00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:48,960
Speaker 1: to seek sort of mental help and therapy to better himself.

269
00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:52,000
Speaker 1: He did not want to do that, thought it was ridiculous.

270
00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:54,959
Speaker 1: Just wanted to be released. Didn't want to stay caged,

271
00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:57,920
Speaker 1: as he said on social media. And then until yesterday,

272
00:12:57,920 --> 00:13:01,840
Speaker 1: after he posted everybody's text message, he was released. Thank

273
00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:04,120
Speaker 1: you for the thorough rundown of what's going on with

274
00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:06,600
Speaker 1: Antonio Brown. Of course those Bucks. When I have another

275
00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:08,720
Speaker 1: Super Bowl Berthie helped him win when last year, We'll

276
00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:10,760
Speaker 1: see what the future holds with other guys having to

277
00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:13,439
Speaker 1: step up in his absence and stopping his absence down

278
00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:15,520
Speaker 1: there in Tampa. Thinks so much an tons of matchups

279
00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:19,720
Speaker 1: this week, so little time Eagles Dallas. That's where they're going. Oh,

280
00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:33,280
Speaker 1: mad minute, head of your way. You know what I'm

281
00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:36,360
Speaker 1: sick of, Kyle, the Emmy Hunt column. Let's get rid

282
00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:37,719
Speaker 1: of that. Let's get rid of that. You know when

283
00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:39,960
Speaker 1: that happens after this week, it's the final week of

284
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:42,080
Speaker 1: the season. By the end of it, yep, the playoff

285
00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:44,680
Speaker 1: picture will be set. Nobody's going to be vying like

286
00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:48,439
Speaker 1: they will in Week eighteen. Couple games on Saturday, a doubleheader,

287
00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:51,280
Speaker 1: than we've got full action on Sunday. So let's do this, guys.

288
00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:53,040
Speaker 1: That is called mad Minute, and I'm gonna start with

289
00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:56,880
Speaker 1: that AFC South Showdown sixty seconds on the clock. This

290
00:13:57,080 --> 00:13:58,960
Speaker 1: might make Sunday Net football. They were interesting. If we've

291
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:00,959
Speaker 1: talked about the Colts can win to playoff fourth the

292
00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:03,480
Speaker 1: win over the Jags. So I ask you, stras, what

293
00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:06,200
Speaker 1: do you like in this one? The Jaguars win. Like

294
00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:08,839
Speaker 1: the Jaguars have had a dominance over the Colts in

295
00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:12,760
Speaker 1: Jacksonville since twenty fourteen, it's an unlikely statistic. Jags are

296
00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:15,000
Speaker 1: are not expected to even show up in this game,

297
00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:17,920
Speaker 1: but gosh, everyone in the world would have to flip

298
00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:20,120
Speaker 1: the table over if the Jaguars won because it would

299
00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:22,720
Speaker 1: lead to the scenario that a tie would get both

300
00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:25,840
Speaker 1: the Charters and Raiders in. So Jaguars, find a way.

301
00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:28,760
Speaker 1: It's been awful this season. Awful this season. Find a way.

302
00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:31,000
Speaker 1: I've been in these NFL locker rooms with nothing to

303
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:33,240
Speaker 1: play for, okay, and you can see guys, they got

304
00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:35,400
Speaker 1: you hauls, they got boxes and everything. They got their

305
00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:39,560
Speaker 1: golf clubs, They out practicing. I don't see Jacksonville doing anything.

306
00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:41,120
Speaker 1: This will be one of the biggest upsets that we've

307
00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:43,040
Speaker 1: seen the last week of the season. I look for

308
00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:45,200
Speaker 1: him to get smacked. You know, they probably will. This

309
00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:47,120
Speaker 1: is interesting through the lens of Carson Wentz as his

310
00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:49,520
Speaker 1: mental composer. I saw the stat Carson Wentz is throwing

311
00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:52,400
Speaker 1: eight interceptions this year, eight of them. They're all at home.

312
00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:54,800
Speaker 1: He's not thrown one on the road. If he goes

313
00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:57,000
Speaker 1: all eight games on the road without thrown interception, he

314
00:14:57,040 --> 00:14:59,720
Speaker 1: becomes the first NFL quarterback in history to do It's

315
00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:01,720
Speaker 1: never ever been done before. So we think of him

316
00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:03,800
Speaker 1: as a guy who roused. He's been perfect on the

317
00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:05,800
Speaker 1: road this year. I think that's fascinating. Michael Bevin Smith

318
00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:07,560
Speaker 1: two did that. Thank you very much. You've talked a

319
00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:09,920
Speaker 1: lot about the coult success in Jacksonville. It was so

320
00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:12,200
Speaker 1: long ago to put in perspective to the success the

321
00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:14,640
Speaker 1: lack of success. The two running backs that Indy used

322
00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:16,560
Speaker 1: in that game where they finally got to win. Anybody

323
00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:24,680
Speaker 1: guesses James Mungro, Trent Richardson and a Mod Bradshaw Fantasy star.

324
00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:28,120
Speaker 1: Now next next up, these Steelers go to Baltimore to

325
00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:30,000
Speaker 1: try to keep their playoff hopes live. They can lock

326
00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:32,400
Speaker 1: up their spot with a win over the Ravens, and

327
00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:34,480
Speaker 1: then they need those Colts to lose. So what are

328
00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:37,120
Speaker 1: we looking for? Chris Yere, I always expect Baltimore to fight,

329
00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:39,040
Speaker 1: but they don't have anything to fight with. I mean,

330
00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:41,040
Speaker 1: this has been one of the worst seasons as far

331
00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:44,960
Speaker 1: as injury COVID, and this is a beloved organization. They

332
00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:48,640
Speaker 1: do things right top to bottom. Bashotdi general manager, coach.

333
00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:51,880
Speaker 1: They don't have anyone. Ben's last game. We saw how

334
00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:54,200
Speaker 1: they rallied on Monday. They're gonna run the ball, They're

335
00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:56,320
Speaker 1: gonna get the win. I mean, Baltimore, let's move to

336
00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:58,920
Speaker 1: next season. Man. Now, let's get more on Steelers time.

337
00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:02,680
Speaker 1: And guys, I got nugget today nag Harris leaves the

338
00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:04,640
Speaker 1: NFL and touches no one's had the ball with than him.

339
00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:07,680
Speaker 1: He does not have a single fumble on the entire season,

340
00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:10,160
Speaker 1: not fumble lost. He has not dropped the ball a

341
00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:12,400
Speaker 1: single time. He's not in a Rookie of the Year conversation,

342
00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:14,400
Speaker 1: nor he should be. He's in an awesome season. I

343
00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:16,080
Speaker 1: cannot tell you how much I respect the rookie is

344
00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:18,040
Speaker 1: not fumbled a single time. It's awesome and he's awesome.

345
00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:21,960
Speaker 1: And then the name's Alejandro Villaneueva and Patrick mccarie mine

346
00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:24,800
Speaker 1: because they're gonna be the ones charged with stopping t J.

347
00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:27,640
Speaker 1: Watt from history. The Ravens have a lot of pride

348
00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:30,800
Speaker 1: and Watton Villaneueva were teammates for years. I think the Ravens,

349
00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:33,320
Speaker 1: if there's anything that they want to do, it's like, no, no, no,

350
00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:35,800
Speaker 1: We're stopping t J. Watt from doing some victory dance

351
00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:37,880
Speaker 1: of breaking the sack recording. Awesome. I think those guys

352
00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:39,360
Speaker 1: are going to show up. Wait, you guys just knew

353
00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:41,560
Speaker 1: this is a really exciting games. Go look actually really

354
00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:43,760
Speaker 1: into it. And then you have Tomlin and Harbaugh, I

355
00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:46,000
Speaker 1: than any of them coaching any game against each other's great.

356
00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:48,720
Speaker 1: They've squared off guys thirty times in their career. Tomlin's

357
00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:52,320
Speaker 1: won sixteen harbas one fourteen ssn't close. There in a

358
00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:54,680
Speaker 1: nice rivalry. Yeah, both the Cowboys. Yeah you hear at

359
00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:58,760
Speaker 1: the old Nuggets child the years is really good. No fumbles. Well, Cowboys, Eagles,

360
00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:01,160
Speaker 1: they've clint spots. They can get to higher places and

361
00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:03,560
Speaker 1: better seeds with wins and losses from others teams. Lots

362
00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:05,040
Speaker 1: of things need to happen. But what are you looking for,

363
00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:07,240
Speaker 1: Kyle in this one? I'm actually looking at the seating

364
00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:09,440
Speaker 1: so they win. The Cowboys thinking this in the NFC

365
00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:12,600
Speaker 1: can get the two or the three, which is hugely different.

366
00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:14,919
Speaker 1: If they lose, they can sit at the four. And

367
00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:17,919
Speaker 1: if they get the four, there's a very good possibility

368
00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:21,560
Speaker 1: that the Cowboys will play against the Arizona Cardinals, who

369
00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:24,160
Speaker 1: just gave them the business like just five minutes ago.

370
00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:25,480
Speaker 1: I don't think they want that. I think this is

371
00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:27,760
Speaker 1: very important also to shut the Eagles the hell up Dallas, Like,

372
00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:29,560
Speaker 1: let's do something about that too big game? Do you

373
00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:33,640
Speaker 1: remember Sirianni had to beat Dallas got smoked on Monday

374
00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:36,280
Speaker 1: Night football? Different story now, like I think the Eagles

375
00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:38,040
Speaker 1: maybe the favorites in this game. And if you add

376
00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:39,760
Speaker 1: in Michael Parsons on the COVID list, you add in

377
00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:42,080
Speaker 1: Tyrn Smith on the COVID list. Dallas. I don't think

378
00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:43,840
Speaker 1: I want to see the Cowboys in the playoffs, but

379
00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:46,000
Speaker 1: if they come limping in with two straight losses to

380
00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:47,879
Speaker 1: Arizona and Philly, they're a lot different than they were

381
00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:49,439
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago. I get drafted by the

382
00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:52,560
Speaker 1: Eagles first game, Dallas, Cowboys, I don't play. I've always

383
00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:55,240
Speaker 1: hated the Cowboys. Yes, so for me, the Eagles, They're

384
00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:57,359
Speaker 1: going to be planned and the way they play is

385
00:17:57,400 --> 00:17:58,919
Speaker 1: not a team I would be wanting to play in

386
00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:00,720
Speaker 1: the last week of the season. It's physical. It's like

387
00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:04,000
Speaker 1: college football playing against Navy or option camp, guys coming

388
00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:06,480
Speaker 1: at your knees and everything. Man, the Eagles are going

389
00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:07,960
Speaker 1: to be a tough out and this will be a

390
00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:10,159
Speaker 1: physical game because that's what Philly does. And you'll be

391
00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:12,960
Speaker 1: watering Rudy over the weekend or what's where's words getting

392
00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:15,119
Speaker 1: some snow out the Eagles. Plants is going to check

393
00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:17,040
Speaker 1: in with us later. I think she's doing well. I

394
00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:18,160
Speaker 1: think he I don't know what it is, but we're

395
00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:19,920
Speaker 1: gonna get some snow. We're gonna give him everything. Should

396
00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:22,200
Speaker 1: they wear those T shirts again? Trake? Where are those

397
00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:26,680
Speaker 1: T shirts? And doing them great shirts? Different? Now? Double

398
00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:31,400
Speaker 1: down Dallas. Yeah, Finally let's go to the NFC West.

399
00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:33,760
Speaker 1: We've got to show down big time playoff implications. It's

400
00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:35,640
Speaker 1: the Niners and the Rams. It's going on in La,

401
00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:38,080
Speaker 1: home of the Super Bowl in just a couple of

402
00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:40,199
Speaker 1: weeks here. So the Niners they need a win to

403
00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:42,840
Speaker 1: lock up a playoff spot. If the Rams win, they

404
00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:45,800
Speaker 1: get the division. So what are we looking for in

405
00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:48,560
Speaker 1: this one? Chris Man? This is a tough one because

406
00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:51,639
Speaker 1: there's real history and there's one team that's dominated the

407
00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:54,560
Speaker 1: other team. But there's a legendary player on one side,

408
00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:57,320
Speaker 1: and I believe that Aaron This should be an Aaron

409
00:18:57,520 --> 00:19:00,680
Speaker 1: Donald game. You gotta force Ford Niners play hand. Look

410
00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:02,560
Speaker 1: at their record when Jimmy Garoppolo tries to throw the

411
00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:05,200
Speaker 1: ball more than thirty times, not very very good and

412
00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:08,320
Speaker 1: small guy, small hands, and he's got a bad through

413
00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:10,480
Speaker 1: him that he's complained about the webbing. I look for

414
00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:13,040
Speaker 1: the Rams some get back. If you've seen Aaron Donald

415
00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:15,040
Speaker 1: prescofference clip from this week. I'm gonna play it later

416
00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:17,199
Speaker 1: in the show. Sitting there, he's not happy. Body language

417
00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:20,000
Speaker 1: is terrible, Aaron, how do you how do you prepare

418
00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:23,560
Speaker 1: to stop a player like Deebo Samuel? Who? Deebo Samuel?

419
00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:26,520
Speaker 1: Who's that silence? It's game time. Let's go. This is

420
00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:28,199
Speaker 1: a big one. I don't know if the producers got

421
00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:31,080
Speaker 1: your Debo's response. He had a response yesterday, and Debo

422
00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:32,800
Speaker 1: is like, I don't talk to him. I don't need

423
00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:37,040
Speaker 1: to talk to scope. Peter. Let's go. Let's go, quickly asked.

424
00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:40,680
Speaker 1: They asked Kyle Shanahan yesterday about evulsion fractures and if

425
00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:42,399
Speaker 1: he was familiar with them, and he said, actually, one

426
00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:44,439
Speaker 1: of the foremost experts. I wrote a thesis on that

427
00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:46,679
Speaker 1: very topic, So none of this news surprises me. He

428
00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:49,639
Speaker 1: was kidding. This is it, Kyle Shanahan. Everyone's feeling a

429
00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:52,159
Speaker 1: little salty right now. Yeah, these teams do not like

430
00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:54,920
Speaker 1: each other. Let's go. What's Sean McVay got? I mean

431
00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:57,680
Speaker 1: six and that would be a bad look. Our next

432
00:19:57,680 --> 00:19:59,440
Speaker 1: guest is one of the most dominant tight ends in

433
00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:03,480
Speaker 1: NFL history, eleven time pro bowler, Yes, eleven Times former

434
00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:06,919
Speaker 1: Walter Payton Man the Year winner. Welcome to the show,

435
00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:13,960
Speaker 1: Big play, Jason. What's tell fellas? Hey guys doing seventeen seasons.

436
00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:16,560
Speaker 1: You and I have talked a whole bunch. You retired

437
00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:18,960
Speaker 1: in January of twenty twenty one, and just a few

438
00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:23,240
Speaker 1: weeks after that, you are amongst many other former legends

439
00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:26,080
Speaker 1: that have decided I want to be a coach, and

440
00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:29,439
Speaker 1: you're coaching high school football. They're in Texas. What a

441
00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:31,960
Speaker 1: great experience if I'm a young person that my coach

442
00:20:32,119 --> 00:20:34,720
Speaker 1: is the legendary Jason Witten. Give us an update on

443
00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:37,600
Speaker 1: your experience had Liberty Christian High School they're in Texas. Well,

444
00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:39,920
Speaker 1: it's been awesome. As I've retired, I spent that last

445
00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:41,920
Speaker 1: year in Las Vegas with the Raiders and learned a

446
00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:43,600
Speaker 1: lot of football. Knew I was wanting to get into

447
00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:46,600
Speaker 1: into coaching. I just didn't know what level. So had

448
00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:48,800
Speaker 1: two boys that are coming up. My grandfather was my

449
00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:51,040
Speaker 1: high school football coach. Made a huge impact on my

450
00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:53,040
Speaker 1: life and certainly wouldn't I have had the career I

451
00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:55,800
Speaker 1: did if it wasn't for him. So just kind of

452
00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:58,920
Speaker 1: hit the pause button. Loved coaching, you know, my debut.

453
00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:01,159
Speaker 1: It started out great, and one my first one and

454
00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:03,159
Speaker 1: one of my last one lost every one of them

455
00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:04,880
Speaker 1: in between, so we got a lot of work to do,

456
00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:07,320
Speaker 1: had a lot of fun, great kids, and you can

457
00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:09,080
Speaker 1: have such an impact on their life. It was a

458
00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:11,359
Speaker 1: lot of fun for me. That's a lot to us, Jason.

459
00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:13,160
Speaker 1: The watching play with the Cowboys for all those years.

460
00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:15,560
Speaker 1: I mean that. And if we're looking at this year's team,

461
00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:18,720
Speaker 1: there's this thing where, Okay, the Cowboys, they win the East,

462
00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:21,960
Speaker 1: and they're very talented, and they sell a lot of jerseys.

463
00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:25,560
Speaker 1: The question is is this a special Cowboys team really

464
00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:28,720
Speaker 1: or is it just another due respect, very talented team

465
00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:30,400
Speaker 1: that we'll lose in the playoffs? What is it? Jason?

466
00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:32,639
Speaker 1: When you watch this team, do you see anything special

467
00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:35,719
Speaker 1: and unique about this year's Cowboys? I do. I think

468
00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:38,120
Speaker 1: it's a pretty resilient bunch, you know. I mean what

469
00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:40,919
Speaker 1: you're saying, I think that's true as well. But I

470
00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:43,280
Speaker 1: really think that's the whole league right now. Tampa Bay,

471
00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:45,119
Speaker 1: the defending champs, they were on the ropes in the

472
00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:47,760
Speaker 1: fourth quarter against the worst team in football, the Jets.

473
00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:50,320
Speaker 1: So I think that's just kind of the cycle of

474
00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:54,200
Speaker 1: what we're seeing there's not really anybody that's completely dominant

475
00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:56,320
Speaker 1: that you're like, man, we don't want to go there.

476
00:21:56,359 --> 00:21:57,919
Speaker 1: There's been so many years over the course of my

477
00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:01,120
Speaker 1: career that you just had that team circle that you're like, man,

478
00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:03,040
Speaker 1: I'd hate to have to go play there. And I

479
00:22:03,040 --> 00:22:05,480
Speaker 1: guess you could say that about Green Bay still, but

480
00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:07,480
Speaker 1: a big reason about that it's because of the quarterback

481
00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:09,800
Speaker 1: and that's not going to change. So I think they

482
00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:11,800
Speaker 1: can be really good. I think that road win against

483
00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:14,800
Speaker 1: the New England Patriots said Okay, this Cowboys team is

484
00:22:14,840 --> 00:22:18,000
Speaker 1: for real. So tough couple losses there, no doubt, but

485
00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:20,199
Speaker 1: I think they're gonna start playing the best football at

486
00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:22,960
Speaker 1: the most important time. Jason's cool having me on our show.

487
00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:25,560
Speaker 1: I think of you as a Dallas Cowboy. Were also

488
00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:28,480
Speaker 1: a Tennessee volunteer and Jalen Wright was in. That was

489
00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:30,360
Speaker 1: a touchdown. I don't know how they called it there

490
00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:32,960
Speaker 1: in that place. I know you were upset about it too.

491
00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:35,639
Speaker 1: That was ridiculous. You were also a Raider and in

492
00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:37,479
Speaker 1: that one year with the Raider you were catching passes

493
00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:39,680
Speaker 1: from Derek Carr, and a lot of people dismissed Derek

494
00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:42,159
Speaker 1: cars They eight ever wins the big in. It's winning

495
00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:44,480
Speaker 1: in and he has shown us a lot this season.

496
00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:47,520
Speaker 1: What did you learn about playing with Derek Carr? And

497
00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:49,760
Speaker 1: what don't we know about that man that you saw

498
00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:51,960
Speaker 1: every day playing with him on Sundays as well? Yeah,

499
00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:54,960
Speaker 1: I just don't think that the competitor shows up in

500
00:22:55,080 --> 00:22:57,480
Speaker 1: him sometimes when you're watching from Afar. I know for me,

501
00:22:57,880 --> 00:23:00,480
Speaker 1: I didn't realize on the outside until I got in

502
00:23:00,520 --> 00:23:03,320
Speaker 1: there and we had some similar games like they're having

503
00:23:03,359 --> 00:23:05,240
Speaker 1: this year. Not not as many, I feel like, not

504
00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:08,160
Speaker 1: as much kind of stuff to overcome like they had

505
00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:10,920
Speaker 1: to this year. But the guys as a true competitor,

506
00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:13,359
Speaker 1: you know, I think as any tight end, a receiver

507
00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:16,040
Speaker 1: would say, what do they want most other quarterback? Yeah,

508
00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:17,400
Speaker 1: they want to be able to sling it, they want

509
00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:19,120
Speaker 1: to be able to throw the football, but they want

510
00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:21,199
Speaker 1: the guy to compete. They want to say, hey, follow me,

511
00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:24,200
Speaker 1: jump on my back, I'll take us there. And Derek

512
00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:27,119
Speaker 1: has those traits and it's been awesome to see what

513
00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:28,840
Speaker 1: he's done this year and what he's going for his

514
00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:31,560
Speaker 1: football team. Incredible story. We'll see what he can do

515
00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:35,080
Speaker 1: against those Chargers and that defense they've got on Sunday

516
00:23:35,160 --> 00:23:37,520
Speaker 1: night win. Thank you for waking up on good morning football,

517
00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:38,920
Speaker 1: not just the fellas here. And I want to ask

518
00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:41,199
Speaker 1: you about current tight ends because I'm looking at some

519
00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:43,080
Speaker 1: of these guys. You got your kids, of course, you

520
00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:45,760
Speaker 1: got your Kelsey's there rocking out. Dalton Schultz looks awesome.

521
00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:49,000
Speaker 1: By the way. You've got guys like Mark Andrews stepping up.

522
00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:51,440
Speaker 1: Kyle Pitts has a thousand yards and nobody's even talking

523
00:23:51,480 --> 00:23:52,879
Speaker 1: about it. Who has stood out to you at the

524
00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:55,679
Speaker 1: tight end spot? I think the entire position group as

525
00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:58,920
Speaker 1: a whole just seems better. Tight Ends have gone from

526
00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:02,760
Speaker 1: converting third downs and big catches to now there are

527
00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:04,879
Speaker 1: difference makers out there on the field. I would have

528
00:24:04,960 --> 00:24:07,560
Speaker 1: to say if he said one guy you mentioned Dalton

529
00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:10,000
Speaker 1: Schultz is having a great year, coming into his own

530
00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:13,199
Speaker 1: and take advantage every opportunity he's had, and to do

531
00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:16,840
Speaker 1: it alongside great receivers and Amari Cooper and Cdee Lamb.

532
00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:20,040
Speaker 1: But for me, Mark Andrews, I mean, its quarterback's been

533
00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:23,000
Speaker 1: in and out with backups coming in and to still

534
00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:26,399
Speaker 1: have that type of production that says how good he is.

535
00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:30,320
Speaker 1: And it's not just about the quarterback in that system.

536
00:24:30,359 --> 00:24:32,720
Speaker 1: It's really about what kind of player he is. Hey,

537
00:24:32,760 --> 00:24:34,720
Speaker 1: what you've been named to the twenty twenty two Pro

538
00:24:34,800 --> 00:24:39,719
Speaker 1: Bowl Captain along with Reggie, Wayne Rod Woodson, and Luke Keekley.

539
00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:42,479
Speaker 1: I was also in this game one time, and let

540
00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:45,280
Speaker 1: me trust you, Michael Irvin, they cost me twenty five thousand.

541
00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:48,760
Speaker 1: Concentrate on who's going to be your third quarterback because

542
00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:50,720
Speaker 1: they're going to be playing a lot. Huh. I've know

543
00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:52,720
Speaker 1: you've played in a lot of these games. Give me

544
00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:56,480
Speaker 1: some of your expectations with that being played in Las Vegas. No,

545
00:24:56,560 --> 00:24:58,040
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be great. What a city to

546
00:24:58,040 --> 00:24:59,560
Speaker 1: have the Pro Bowl. You know, it's gonna draw a

547
00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:01,560
Speaker 1: lot of fans, and I think it's just everybody's excited

548
00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:04,080
Speaker 1: to have the Pro Bowl back. Been great experience, you know.

549
00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:06,040
Speaker 1: As a captain, I just hope I can keep all

550
00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:08,680
Speaker 1: my guys there. You know, I feel pretty good about

551
00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:11,160
Speaker 1: my quarterbacks right now. It just got to make sure

552
00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:13,200
Speaker 1: Tom Brady shows up, so a little bit of a

553
00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:15,600
Speaker 1: challenge there, But I think it's gonna be great. You know.

554
00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:17,439
Speaker 1: I think anytime you can get the best of the

555
00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:19,760
Speaker 1: best in a room, there was always a great experience

556
00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:22,480
Speaker 1: for me to be able to kind of jill out, relax, talk,

557
00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:24,960
Speaker 1: a little football gets them insight. So I'm honored that

558
00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:26,880
Speaker 1: the NFL has selected me, and they got a great

559
00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:29,680
Speaker 1: defensive captain and Luke Keithley. It's gonna be a fun week.

560
00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:32,080
Speaker 1: Jason willing to bet that you grew up turning on

561
00:25:32,119 --> 00:25:35,000
Speaker 1: the TV and watching quarterbacks like Dan Marino and Steve

562
00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:38,440
Speaker 1: Young throw footballs with chalk on them and moving targets

563
00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:42,120
Speaker 1: in the skills competition. There's nothing like it. It's awesome entertainment.

564
00:25:42,119 --> 00:25:45,560
Speaker 1: The NFL brought back the skills showed onto the Pro Bowl.

565
00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:49,680
Speaker 1: We got precision passing, thread the needle, best catch, fastest man,

566
00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:52,320
Speaker 1: and we got grown men playing dodgeball. Which of these

567
00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:55,280
Speaker 1: events are you most looking forward to watching? Dude? Well,

568
00:25:55,520 --> 00:25:57,760
Speaker 1: I'm actually fired up to see this dodgeball game, you know.

569
00:25:57,920 --> 00:26:00,119
Speaker 1: I think I can know that that's just man be

570
00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:01,720
Speaker 1: a neat one to watch to see who kind of

571
00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:05,240
Speaker 1: rises up and wins that. But I'm like you, I

572
00:26:05,320 --> 00:26:08,560
Speaker 1: enjoyed the quarterback I feel like they're allowed to be

573
00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:10,920
Speaker 1: able to get to the most competitive situation of saying,

574
00:26:11,080 --> 00:26:12,720
Speaker 1: and they all want to be accurate. They want to

575
00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:15,359
Speaker 1: show that they're the best of the best. So but

576
00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:17,760
Speaker 1: for me seeing them away from it having fun, I

577
00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:21,439
Speaker 1: think that Dodgeball do pretty big hit for him. Jason,

578
00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:23,679
Speaker 1: thank you for joining the show. You've always been a

579
00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:25,960
Speaker 1: class act. And let me tell you, those high schoolers

580
00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:28,800
Speaker 1: down there in Texas, they are really getting a treat

581
00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:32,640
Speaker 1: by having you be their coach. Thank you for always

582
00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:35,040
Speaker 1: being a great example not only what to be as

583
00:26:35,040 --> 00:26:36,679
Speaker 1: a football player, but what to be as a man.

584
00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:49,480
Speaker 1: Thanks guys, every great day to it. Welcome back to

585
00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:53,199
Speaker 1: Good Morning Football, Nate, Eugene Burls and joining us right

586
00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:55,800
Speaker 1: now from these studios of CBS Morning for us. Thanks

587
00:26:55,800 --> 00:27:00,000
Speaker 1: first morning's Nate, Good morning, Good morning, Kay, Kyle, Peter, Chris.

588
00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:03,320
Speaker 1: What's up everybody? This week eighteen? We've never had one before.

589
00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:05,680
Speaker 1: It's two hundred and seventy second game will be played.

590
00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:08,000
Speaker 1: It might be the Take a Knee Bowl, as we

591
00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:10,560
Speaker 1: know all of implications and playoff implications for this one.

592
00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:14,000
Speaker 1: There's been more drama with Aaron Rodgers this offseason. MVP,

593
00:27:14,119 --> 00:27:17,280
Speaker 1: but are hub arkish saying Rodgers would not be getting

594
00:27:17,320 --> 00:27:19,840
Speaker 1: his vote, called Aaron Rodgers a jerk. I do believe

595
00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:23,240
Speaker 1: Rodgers return fire, calling him a bum in response, I

596
00:27:23,280 --> 00:27:25,400
Speaker 1: don't know what do you make of all of this. Well,

597
00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:28,320
Speaker 1: let me first start with Hub. That type of ideology

598
00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:31,960
Speaker 1: kept to from being a first ballot Hall of Famer.

599
00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:35,399
Speaker 1: So thinking about a player and then looking at his

600
00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:38,600
Speaker 1: career and then taking your own feelings about his personality,

601
00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:40,440
Speaker 1: that's not a good mix for me. You know, this

602
00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:43,399
Speaker 1: isn't about how a guy X to the media, X

603
00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:46,119
Speaker 1: towards the team. Isn't about how a guys perceived. This

604
00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:48,640
Speaker 1: is about how guys playing. But on the flip side,

605
00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:51,119
Speaker 1: when it comes to Aaron Rodgers, like Aaron Rodgers, was

606
00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:53,600
Speaker 1: that just in response? I mean, you're calling somebody a

607
00:27:53,640 --> 00:27:56,440
Speaker 1: bum because they called you a jerk? Did you think

608
00:27:56,440 --> 00:27:59,640
Speaker 1: he was a bum before? So for me, I think

609
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:02,880
Speaker 1: they're both wrong in this situation. You can't say he's

610
00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:05,119
Speaker 1: not going to get my vote and then later say

611
00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:07,800
Speaker 1: I believe he's a jerk, because then it's clear that

612
00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:11,080
Speaker 1: you're biased because of his personality. So I think both

613
00:28:11,080 --> 00:28:12,600
Speaker 1: of these guys are wrong. To be honest with you.

614
00:28:12,840 --> 00:28:14,639
Speaker 1: If you feel a certain type of way, keep it,

615
00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:16,639
Speaker 1: keep it out of how you vote. And if you

616
00:28:16,680 --> 00:28:18,320
Speaker 1: feel a certain type of way about somebody in the

617
00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:21,040
Speaker 1: media or in that space, or voters in the NFL,

618
00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:23,520
Speaker 1: then make sure you feel that way before they let

619
00:28:23,520 --> 00:28:25,320
Speaker 1: it be known how they feel about you. Nate. Let's

620
00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:29,159
Speaker 1: talk a little wide receivers. Yesterday I made a comparison

621
00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:33,959
Speaker 1: between Jamara and Randy Moss. Now, yeah, I know you

622
00:28:34,080 --> 00:28:38,120
Speaker 1: play with Moss, and I'm believing that collectively there's only

623
00:28:38,120 --> 00:28:40,360
Speaker 1: four players on our offense that didn't make the Pro Bowl.

624
00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:42,800
Speaker 1: In Master's rookie year, we had six other players on

625
00:28:42,840 --> 00:28:45,960
Speaker 1: the Pro Bowl, y'all. To you, y'all like the comparison,

626
00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:48,880
Speaker 1: and do you stick with me? As Jamar at this

627
00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:52,760
Speaker 1: point is a more developed route runner and pure receiver

628
00:28:52,880 --> 00:28:56,960
Speaker 1: than Randy Moss. Who, Yeah, let's go or develop say

629
00:28:56,960 --> 00:29:00,200
Speaker 1: something you know now, listen, Jamar Chase at this point

630
00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:02,880
Speaker 1: his career, he might be a more developed route runner,

631
00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:05,800
Speaker 1: especially when we're talking about the interior of the field.

632
00:29:06,120 --> 00:29:08,160
Speaker 1: Jamar is a big body wide receiver. I mean he'll

633
00:29:08,200 --> 00:29:10,560
Speaker 1: run driver utes, raultes, dig routes to not care about

634
00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:12,880
Speaker 1: the linebackers or the safeties. Now he's playing in a

635
00:29:12,880 --> 00:29:14,959
Speaker 1: different error and Chris, you know this. These guys can

636
00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:17,000
Speaker 1: run blindly across the middle of the field and you

637
00:29:17,040 --> 00:29:19,080
Speaker 1: can't even hit these wide receivers, so you can't run

638
00:29:19,120 --> 00:29:21,320
Speaker 1: a little bit more freely. Now, as far as like

639
00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:24,640
Speaker 1: pure comparisons, I feel like I believe we're all in

640
00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:28,560
Speaker 1: the same agreement here. Randy Moss was a pure catcher

641
00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:31,680
Speaker 1: than Jamar Chase. As good as Jamar Chase is and

642
00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:33,400
Speaker 1: his hands are phenomenal, I don't want people to think

643
00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:35,200
Speaker 1: I'm taking a shot at him. There's time where he

644
00:29:35,320 --> 00:29:38,520
Speaker 1: drops that very simple ball, but then he'll turn around

645
00:29:38,520 --> 00:29:42,120
Speaker 1: and make a crazy catch. So the comparisons for me,

646
00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:44,760
Speaker 1: they're hit or miss. When it comes to Jamar Chase

647
00:29:44,840 --> 00:29:48,240
Speaker 1: and Randy, I feel like Jamar Chase reminds me more

648
00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:52,400
Speaker 1: of an Kwam Bolden, but faster. He's thicker, he has

649
00:29:52,800 --> 00:29:55,600
Speaker 1: a strong base, He's willing to take a hit. There's

650
00:29:55,600 --> 00:29:57,800
Speaker 1: times when he will go out and snatch that ball

651
00:29:57,800 --> 00:29:59,640
Speaker 1: with his hands or catch with his body, and no,

652
00:29:59,800 --> 00:30:02,760
Speaker 1: I'm taking a shot right here. Stay on my feet

653
00:30:02,840 --> 00:30:04,360
Speaker 1: and I'm getting the field and I'm looking for that

654
00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:07,280
Speaker 1: pile on the score touchdown. So my comparison is more

655
00:30:07,320 --> 00:30:10,720
Speaker 1: a Quam Bolden, but faster and a little bit more athletic,

656
00:30:10,960 --> 00:30:12,960
Speaker 1: just saying tell me, I'm on, come on, Chris. He

657
00:30:13,040 --> 00:30:16,880
Speaker 1: does remind us of Quan. Come on, Nate, Quan at

658
00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:21,040
Speaker 1: the combine ran A four eight. This guy has blazing speed,

659
00:30:21,200 --> 00:30:24,560
Speaker 1: runs route at all three or four wide receiver positions,

660
00:30:24,760 --> 00:30:27,600
Speaker 1: and yeah, I'll just I'll just leave that. He's special.

661
00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:30,360
Speaker 1: I haven't seen anything better in his rookie year. I

662
00:30:30,400 --> 00:30:32,360
Speaker 1: just have to leave it. Yeah, now he is, he is.

663
00:30:32,400 --> 00:30:33,840
Speaker 1: He's a beast. He's a beast, one hell of a

664
00:30:33,840 --> 00:30:36,560
Speaker 1: start to his career, incredible and yet and yet he's

665
00:30:36,560 --> 00:30:46,480
Speaker 1: no Cooper Cup. You know how I feel about people there,

666
00:30:48,120 --> 00:30:50,800
Speaker 1: they're gonna clip that. They're like, oh here it is

667
00:30:51,400 --> 00:30:55,440
Speaker 1: why they are? They gonna talk about Rocky Marciano and

668
00:30:55,560 --> 00:31:02,720
Speaker 1: he even to lose his ass and the barbershop we

669
00:31:02,760 --> 00:31:06,200
Speaker 1: could talk up all day long. Ye Murphy can be

670
00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:09,080
Speaker 1: there or you can. And you know, he's doing some

671
00:31:09,160 --> 00:31:12,400
Speaker 1: amazing things since one hundred and thirty six arts. He breaks,

672
00:31:12,440 --> 00:31:15,000
Speaker 1: he breaks Calvin's record, if he has twelve catches, he

673
00:31:15,080 --> 00:31:18,960
Speaker 1: breaks Michael Thomas's record. They why isn't he being talked

674
00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:21,960
Speaker 1: about by the mass media outside of this show for

675
00:31:22,160 --> 00:31:24,840
Speaker 1: MVP bro, I'm right there with you. I think at

676
00:31:24,880 --> 00:31:26,560
Speaker 1: the halfway point of the season, I said, just keep

677
00:31:26,600 --> 00:31:28,360
Speaker 1: your eye out for him. One, he's the best receiver

678
00:31:28,440 --> 00:31:30,640
Speaker 1: in the game, and he should be mentioned when it

679
00:31:30,680 --> 00:31:33,240
Speaker 1: comes to MVP voting. And you might say, well, Nate,

680
00:31:33,280 --> 00:31:35,120
Speaker 1: he's a product of his environment. He has a really

681
00:31:35,160 --> 00:31:38,760
Speaker 1: good coach and a quarterback that's targeting him. That's all fine,

682
00:31:38,880 --> 00:31:41,000
Speaker 1: But what does that have to do with his ability

683
00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:43,080
Speaker 1: to get open that also helps? Right? What does that

684
00:31:43,080 --> 00:31:45,880
Speaker 1: have to do with his catch efficiency versus his drops

685
00:31:46,040 --> 00:31:48,480
Speaker 1: that also helps? Right? Oh, and not to mention he's

686
00:31:48,520 --> 00:31:51,320
Speaker 1: been the most consistent. There's been a couple of games

687
00:31:51,320 --> 00:31:53,880
Speaker 1: where Matt Stafford was unlike himself, you know, whether it

688
00:31:53,920 --> 00:31:56,440
Speaker 1: was uncharacteristic turnovers or the offense didn't have a flow.

689
00:31:56,840 --> 00:31:59,959
Speaker 1: But at the same time, Cooper Cup weekend and week out,

690
00:32:00,440 --> 00:32:03,360
Speaker 1: he was actually showing up and showing out. So Cooper

691
00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:05,680
Speaker 1: Cup should be mentioned in MVP race. As far as

692
00:32:05,920 --> 00:32:08,200
Speaker 1: the MVP race, as far as the records that he

693
00:32:08,200 --> 00:32:10,080
Speaker 1: could be breaking, you gotta put an astric by it.

694
00:32:10,160 --> 00:32:13,760
Speaker 1: I mean we're talking about seventeen games, right. So as

695
00:32:13,800 --> 00:32:15,800
Speaker 1: much as I can appreciate him saying, oh, he's gonna

696
00:32:15,840 --> 00:32:18,320
Speaker 1: catch Calvin and Michael Thomas and he's gonna have the

697
00:32:18,360 --> 00:32:20,920
Speaker 1: trifecta with all of the catches and the touchdowns in

698
00:32:20,960 --> 00:32:23,840
Speaker 1: the yards. That's fine. You guys know, I love Cooper Cup,

699
00:32:23,920 --> 00:32:25,880
Speaker 1: but we also have to understand he's doing it in

700
00:32:25,880 --> 00:32:30,680
Speaker 1: a longer season, So comparing his season to other great seasons,

701
00:32:30,920 --> 00:32:32,920
Speaker 1: I don't think we can do that just yet. Nate,

702
00:32:33,120 --> 00:32:34,960
Speaker 1: you just said that you're right there with Peter on

703
00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:37,000
Speaker 1: that particular topic. I don't think he will be in

704
00:32:37,040 --> 00:32:39,479
Speaker 1: this one. So let's get into good Morning football business here.

705
00:32:39,480 --> 00:32:41,800
Speaker 1: All week, Chris has been here and he's been referring

706
00:32:41,800 --> 00:32:46,560
Speaker 1: to Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow as Joe Burrows. Now, we

707
00:32:46,600 --> 00:32:50,800
Speaker 1: went through years of alshon Jeffries with you and countless

708
00:32:50,800 --> 00:32:54,680
Speaker 1: other players, and I think there's an unbalanced in terms

709
00:32:54,720 --> 00:32:59,200
Speaker 1: of our reaction to Chris's mispronunciation, and it all came

710
00:32:59,240 --> 00:33:02,040
Speaker 1: to it yesterday. I think there's some unequal treatment. Take

711
00:33:02,080 --> 00:33:04,720
Speaker 1: a look at this. Okay, I'm gonna go see. Although

712
00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:06,880
Speaker 1: the Chief's defense is really good this year, so I

713
00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:09,400
Speaker 1: probably got this one wrong. Okay, I'm gonna go with S,

714
00:33:09,600 --> 00:33:12,240
Speaker 1: which is actually a but it's the S that Chris

715
00:33:12,280 --> 00:33:15,040
Speaker 1: Carter continues to add to Joe Burrows. Last Nay that

716
00:33:15,080 --> 00:33:17,360
Speaker 1: we never so it is Burrow, but I'm gonna go

717
00:33:17,400 --> 00:33:22,040
Speaker 1: with Joe Burrows und seventy one yard. Can you imagine

718
00:33:22,040 --> 00:33:24,760
Speaker 1: if Nate kept saying Joe Burrows, Peter would physically plumped

719
00:33:24,840 --> 00:33:29,080
Speaker 1: him at the table. Look better career? Yeah that's all? Ye,

720
00:33:30,440 --> 00:33:32,680
Speaker 1: which career are you talking about? Chris will slug you

721
00:33:32,720 --> 00:33:35,720
Speaker 1: back right off. Nate's ever done that in his life.

722
00:33:36,040 --> 00:33:44,120
Speaker 1: As in Ohio, we get all right, Nate, just take

723
00:33:44,160 --> 00:33:48,440
Speaker 1: it away, Nate, alright, alright, First of all, I have

724
00:33:48,640 --> 00:33:51,360
Speaker 1: been in fights before. Don't get fooled by the soup baby,

725
00:33:51,440 --> 00:33:55,880
Speaker 1: all right from the blockhead. But listen, Peter, though, listen Peter.

726
00:33:56,160 --> 00:33:58,200
Speaker 1: Peter is one of those dudes that I would always

727
00:33:58,200 --> 00:34:02,000
Speaker 1: see throwing a full blown handshrum. I've seen Peter ball

728
00:34:02,120 --> 00:34:04,880
Speaker 1: up paper. I've seen him throw pins across the rough.

729
00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:07,440
Speaker 1: I've seen Peter do it all when I'm sitting there

730
00:34:07,480 --> 00:34:09,319
Speaker 1: adding the s today, I don't know what it is.

731
00:34:09,360 --> 00:34:11,879
Speaker 1: Maybe black folks. We just added extrass every now and then.

732
00:34:12,080 --> 00:34:15,840
Speaker 1: I was calling Jeff for like five years, and also

733
00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:18,560
Speaker 1: Chase Daniels. I was like, yeah, Chased Dane is really

734
00:34:18,600 --> 00:34:20,719
Speaker 1: doing this thing. I remember when Jay Low was back

735
00:34:20,760 --> 00:34:23,200
Speaker 1: on the market. I was like, I see afflex out there,

736
00:34:23,360 --> 00:34:27,160
Speaker 1: a flex running it back. I see we just like

737
00:34:27,280 --> 00:34:30,839
Speaker 1: throwing at the end of when I when I met

738
00:34:31,080 --> 00:34:32,799
Speaker 1: When I met Peter Straking the first he said, I said,

739
00:34:32,840 --> 00:34:37,960
Speaker 1: what a shrikes And he was like, so yeah, we

740
00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:39,919
Speaker 1: hadd an s on everything. You know what I mean?

741
00:34:41,280 --> 00:34:44,560
Speaker 1: We okay, Yeah, I didn't. I didn't think it was

742
00:34:44,600 --> 00:34:47,560
Speaker 1: gonna be that nice man then in fact, that car

743
00:34:47,680 --> 00:34:49,879
Speaker 1: was gonna get thrown down. But it's it's your it's

00:35:43,480 --> 00:35:45,960
Speaker 1: it again. It's kind of nuts. This is what we

761
00:35:46,040 --> 00:35:49,399
Speaker 1: call nice little title. Our GMFB certified one percent grade,

762
00:35:49,440 --> 00:35:51,359
Speaker 1: a grass dead top swis Piskin Picks of the Weekend,

763
00:35:51,360 --> 00:35:53,880
Speaker 1: which we go around the table and brand it with fire.

764
00:35:54,040 --> 00:35:56,240
Speaker 1: In one game that is our luck and we guarantee

765
00:35:56,239 --> 00:35:59,080
Speaker 1: this will be the outcome. Peter Schrager, what do you got?

766
00:35:59,120 --> 00:36:01,319
Speaker 1: Every year and kay teen, there's a team playing for

767
00:36:01,400 --> 00:36:03,279
Speaker 1: nothing that upsets one of the teams that has a

768
00:36:03,280 --> 00:36:05,279
Speaker 1: lot to play for, whether it be seating or home

769
00:36:05,320 --> 00:36:08,440
Speaker 1: field advantage or whatever. I saw a glimpse of a

770
00:36:08,480 --> 00:36:10,600
Speaker 1: team that is fighting to the very end last week

771
00:36:10,600 --> 00:36:12,920
Speaker 1: when they had Tom Brady and the Buccaneers down fourteen

772
00:36:12,960 --> 00:36:14,520
Speaker 1: in the second half, and I don't think they're done.

773
00:36:14,680 --> 00:36:17,120
Speaker 1: Peters and gentlemen, your upset pick of the week the

774
00:36:17,160 --> 00:36:19,960
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills are going down. The New York Jets are

775
00:36:19,960 --> 00:36:23,920
Speaker 1: going into Buffaloe hyping the Jets all off season. It's

776
00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:28,360
Speaker 1: on the Zach Wilson, Michael Carter. The Jets are beating

777
00:36:28,400 --> 00:36:31,399
Speaker 1: the Bills, and that's why I'm going to Gangrene as

778
00:36:31,480 --> 00:36:42,240
Speaker 1: my give us a tent the Jets win Bill spends

779
00:36:42,680 --> 00:36:50,400
Speaker 1: get it together, wow Jeeves, Yeah, I gotta follow that. Yes, sir, okay,

780
00:36:50,480 --> 00:36:53,120
Speaker 1: I got my eye on Florida. I mean I'm going

781
00:36:53,160 --> 00:36:55,640
Speaker 1: home today. Yes, I know you guys are glad about that.

782
00:36:55,840 --> 00:36:59,759
Speaker 1: But Colts traveling to the Jags and Peter, how long

783
00:36:59,840 --> 00:37:03,960
Speaker 1: was it been since they've won there? Since two thy fourteen? Chris, So,

784
00:37:04,080 --> 00:37:06,600
Speaker 1: I believe in Frank Right. I've always been a fan

785
00:37:06,680 --> 00:37:08,759
Speaker 1: of Frank Right. Glad he got that job, and I

786
00:37:08,840 --> 00:37:13,040
Speaker 1: believe that he is able to go to Jacksonville, who

787
00:37:13,120 --> 00:37:15,640
Speaker 1: don't have a coach, and you had a message for

788
00:37:15,719 --> 00:37:18,399
Speaker 1: their quarterback who obviously a different guy showed up after

789
00:37:18,480 --> 00:37:21,320
Speaker 1: Roger Goodell called his name, compared to the Trevor launch

790
00:37:21,320 --> 00:37:24,200
Speaker 1: that we saw from Clemson. So I am going with

791
00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:36,800
Speaker 1: the coat as my essays getting pitched up the weeks

792
00:37:37,360 --> 00:37:43,640
Speaker 1: we so they know weeks weeks. We were learning so

793
00:37:43,680 --> 00:37:47,520
Speaker 1: much this change that graphic let mentioned this earlier. I

794
00:37:47,520 --> 00:37:49,759
Speaker 1: think the Rams take care of your wounded Niners team

795
00:37:49,840 --> 00:37:51,960
Speaker 1: if they do, and the Saints take care of business

796
00:37:51,960 --> 00:37:55,040
Speaker 1: against the Falcons, the Saints get into the playoffs. I

797
00:37:55,080 --> 00:37:58,440
Speaker 1: think it happens. First of all, Kyle Pitts thousand yards season.

798
00:37:58,560 --> 00:38:00,919
Speaker 1: We don't talk about it. Crazy right for them, great

799
00:38:00,960 --> 00:38:02,959
Speaker 1: for their future. Potentially lots of changes that will happen

800
00:38:03,000 --> 00:38:05,279
Speaker 1: in Atlanta, I think. But Saints do take care of

801
00:38:05,320 --> 00:38:07,319
Speaker 1: business and they get in the postseason. Light it up,

802
00:38:07,360 --> 00:38:19,680
Speaker 1: give me those things. Fought it up. Philadelphia Eagles head

803
00:38:19,719 --> 00:38:22,399
Speaker 1: coach looked at its players. Yeah, you gotta go through

804
00:38:22,400 --> 00:38:24,600
Speaker 1: all the fire. Sometimes it lasts a long time through.

805
00:38:24,640 --> 00:38:29,040
Speaker 1: The Philadelphia Eagles looked at all his players. Are you

806
00:38:29,040 --> 00:38:32,240
Speaker 1: watering every day? Are you fertilizing every day? He actually

807
00:38:32,280 --> 00:38:34,439
Speaker 1: made an extended plant metaphor for what he was trying

808
00:38:34,480 --> 00:38:37,320
Speaker 1: to build in Philadelphia. Guess what, they're seven and two

809
00:38:37,680 --> 00:38:40,760
Speaker 1: since he made that metaphor, and this is our friend Rudy,

810
00:38:41,120 --> 00:38:44,239
Speaker 1: our oot y for the roots that are here. It's

811
00:38:44,239 --> 00:38:46,880
Speaker 1: our Eagles house plant. And it's kind of like remembering

812
00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:50,680
Speaker 1: et when ET's life was linked to that flower, remember,

813
00:38:50,719 --> 00:38:52,560
Speaker 1: and he would get sick and the flower would wilt,

814
00:38:52,640 --> 00:38:54,760
Speaker 1: and then Elliott got so excited when it was blooming.

815
00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:56,920
Speaker 1: We think this plant is going to go as the

816
00:38:56,960 --> 00:38:59,600
Speaker 1: Eagles season goes. And I'm telling you right now, it's beautiful.

817
00:38:59,640 --> 00:39:02,080
Speaker 1: There's me one brown tip I can find on this thing,

818
00:39:02,239 --> 00:39:05,520
Speaker 1: but otherwise the soil is moist, the plant is happy,

819
00:39:05,600 --> 00:39:07,200
Speaker 1: and we will continue to track it for all you

820
00:39:07,239 --> 00:39:10,440
Speaker 1: horticultureists out there. Means we are I'm going to Philadelphia

821
00:39:10,600 --> 00:39:16,719
Speaker 1: versus Dallas as my he gonna winding ruting. I don't

822
00:39:16,719 --> 00:39:22,879
Speaker 1: know if it's botanists or horticulture, I don't know. Yeah,

823
00:39:23,239 --> 00:39:25,879
Speaker 1: there's all kinds of guy advances in agriculture, and it's

824
00:39:25,880 --> 00:39:28,239
Speaker 1: a medicinal uses. Of course, this is a plant, old good,

825
00:39:28,280 --> 00:39:35,440
Speaker 1: old fashioned house plant. Baby. I think it's plastic. Oh no,

826
00:39:37,520 --> 00:39:40,319
Speaker 1: great job, Chris. Yeah, that's real dirt
