1
00:00:01,080 --> 00:00:03,760
Speaker 1: You're listening to Fox Sports Radio.

2
00:00:04,080 --> 00:00:07,880
Speaker 2: Oh what's going on? Everybody? Welcome into the divisional round

3
00:00:08,240 --> 00:00:11,840
Speaker 2: of the NFL playoffs, and I'll tell you what fellas.

4
00:00:12,560 --> 00:00:15,760
Speaker 2: Good morning to you all. I am in desperate need

5
00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:20,320
Speaker 2: of something here. I'm in desperate need of some drama,

6
00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:24,799
Speaker 2: some playoff drama. I can't believe the stat So just

7
00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:29,720
Speaker 2: one of six games last weekend was decided by fewer

8
00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:34,040
Speaker 2: than two touchdowns, Like five games decided by at least

9
00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:38,280
Speaker 2: two touchdowns. Only one Rams Lions was a close game.

10
00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:41,839
Speaker 2: I can't deal with blowout city again here in the

11
00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:44,880
Speaker 2: divisional round. We need some drama here, guys. I agree

12
00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:47,080
Speaker 2: with you, I really really agree with you.

13
00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:52,360
Speaker 3: You know, in retrospect, I spent less time talking about

14
00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:55,920
Speaker 3: Super Wildcard weekend on the other side of it than

15
00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:58,560
Speaker 3: I did leading up to it. Like you know, when

16
00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:01,200
Speaker 3: you're a sports talk radio show host, or when you're

17
00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:04,600
Speaker 3: somebody who obsesses about sports like the three of us do,

18
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:09,360
Speaker 3: like you find yourself stuck in these cycles of conversation.

19
00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:13,520
Speaker 3: I understand like there's less games to prep for and

20
00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:16,720
Speaker 3: less games to focus on as we get closer and

21
00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:20,039
Speaker 3: closer to the final matchup of the season. But there's

22
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:23,360
Speaker 3: no reason why coming out of a weekend that was

23
00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:26,639
Speaker 3: supposed to be as exciting and as tumultuous as Super

24
00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:30,480
Speaker 3: Wildcard weekend, we shouldn't have been obsessing over every single detail.

25
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:33,600
Speaker 3: But a lot of these games were decided within the

26
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:36,560
Speaker 3: first half, and a couple of them within the first quarter.

27
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:39,920
Speaker 3: You look at that Dallas Green Bay game. I mean,

28
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:45,039
Speaker 3: Dallas never rolled out of bed. It was wild. So

29
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:49,160
Speaker 3: I'm with you, man, I want to see some spirited

30
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:53,320
Speaker 3: matchups today and tomorrow because it almost feels like the

31
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:55,080
Speaker 3: football god Zoas at this point.

32
00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:56,080
Speaker 4: Yeah.

33
00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:58,720
Speaker 5: Actually, the first line of my notes, it's almost like

34
00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:01,560
Speaker 5: Brian Rins and Patico. First line of my notes for

35
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:05,040
Speaker 5: today's show, and this is verbatim, WC round one of

36
00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:09,800
Speaker 5: the worst we've had in a long time, literally, first line.

37
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:13,040
Speaker 5: But I always give you guys something right, something to

38
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:16,880
Speaker 5: chew on. So maybe I can throw some drama into

39
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:20,080
Speaker 5: the little playoffs do here by giving you this nugget.

40
00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:24,160
Speaker 5: Of the eight teams remaining, four of them weren't even

41
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:29,320
Speaker 5: in the playoffs entering week thirteen. Bills were six and six,

42
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:31,440
Speaker 5: Texans were six and five. They were the ten and

43
00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:34,440
Speaker 5: the eight seed, respectively. And then the NFC had the

44
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:36,840
Speaker 5: Bucks were four and seven, the Packers were five and six.

45
00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:39,720
Speaker 4: They were the eight and eleven seeds, respectively.

46
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:43,600
Speaker 5: So maybe the drama is teams that were so far

47
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:46,560
Speaker 5: out of it just a few weeks ago now have

48
00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:49,080
Speaker 5: a chance this weekend to play their way into the

49
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:53,800
Speaker 5: championship games in their respective conferences. Maybe that's the storyline

50
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:55,280
Speaker 5: heading out of wild card weekend.

51
00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:59,160
Speaker 2: Well, that's interesting right there, and we preach it every

52
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:02,120
Speaker 2: year or the first couple of weeks of a season,

53
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:05,600
Speaker 2: we say it's a long season. And you rattled off

54
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:09,200
Speaker 2: a couple of those teams, Bills six and six. They

55
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:12,760
Speaker 2: haven't lost a game since they might lose a game tomorrow.

56
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:13,440
Speaker 3: We'll get to that.

57
00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:18,000
Speaker 2: And also Tampa, how about that Jared four and seven,

58
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:21,320
Speaker 2: and here they are in the divisional round of the playoffs.

59
00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:23,760
Speaker 2: So it is, it's such a long, long season. But

60
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:27,120
Speaker 2: every year we're gonna overreact to what happens in week

61
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:30,560
Speaker 2: one or week two, like that's the entirety of the season.

62
00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:33,480
Speaker 2: With seventeen games, there's a long way to go. So

63
00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:36,200
Speaker 2: if we look at today and we just dip our

64
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:40,120
Speaker 2: beacon the playoff waters simple question, which number one seed

65
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:43,560
Speaker 2: has the tougher matchup. Is it the Ravens who are

66
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:46,240
Speaker 2: hosting the Texans or is it the forty nine ers

67
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:50,520
Speaker 2: who are hosting the Packers my cliffs notes version, I

68
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:55,440
Speaker 2: think that the Ravens have the tougher matchup because when

69
00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:58,119
Speaker 2: I look at the Packers, and hats off to them

70
00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 2: for what they did against Dallas, but I look at

71
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:03,320
Speaker 2: this particular matchup and I'm looking at Joe Barry, the

72
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:08,400
Speaker 2: defensive coordinator against Kyle Shanahan, the forty nine Ers play caller.

73
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:09,880
Speaker 3: That is a.

74
00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:13,520
Speaker 2: Gross mismatch right there. And I can't get over the

75
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:17,120
Speaker 2: Green Bay defense. It's just a few weeks ago against Carolina,

76
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:20,640
Speaker 2: who couldn't score on anybody. They score thirty points and

77
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:23,719
Speaker 2: Bryce Young throws for over three hundred yards. That is

78
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:26,840
Speaker 2: a huge breakout game for them. And I'm looking at

79
00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:30,960
Speaker 2: this Niners offense. How are the Packers gonna slow them down?

80
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:34,880
Speaker 2: So I think CJ. Stroud having an epic rookie season,

81
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:38,160
Speaker 2: I think that's the tougher matchup for Baltimore compared to

82
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:38,880
Speaker 2: the Niners.

83
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:41,560
Speaker 3: Here, I agree with you. And also if you look

84
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:45,800
Speaker 3: at history and you look at playoff performances, Lamar Jackson

85
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:48,160
Speaker 3: has shrunk in some of these moments in the past.

86
00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:51,599
Speaker 3: And so when you have an offense that is so

87
00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:55,640
Speaker 3: contingent on one player being so much better than everybody

88
00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:58,760
Speaker 3: else on the field, that's a tremendous amount of pressure

89
00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:01,799
Speaker 3: and it's a it's a level of pressure that Lamar

90
00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:05,960
Speaker 3: Jackson has not handled well in the past and playoff performances,

91
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:09,559
Speaker 3: specifically regarding what he's done on the field, not talking

92
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:12,680
Speaker 3: about what the Baltimore defense has done or special teams

93
00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:15,680
Speaker 3: unit or maybe some of the other offensive players like

94
00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:20,960
Speaker 3: Lamar Jackson specifically has played some poor games in the postseason.

95
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:24,120
Speaker 3: So I also look at it from through the viewfinder

96
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:27,720
Speaker 3: of what are the strengths of each of these teams,

97
00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:32,680
Speaker 3: you know, these one seeds, and how can they be defeated? Well,

98
00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:36,880
Speaker 3: in the case of the the Baltimore Ravens, it really

99
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:39,400
Speaker 3: could only take one guy having a bad day for

100
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:43,160
Speaker 3: them to lose. Whereas you look at San Francisco, there's

101
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:46,880
Speaker 3: enough talent around that roster with McCaffrey out of the

102
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:49,599
Speaker 3: backfield and some of their weapons, Debo who can also

103
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:52,200
Speaker 3: share reps out of the backfield as a receiver in

104
00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:56,840
Speaker 3: Kittle and Juice check and obviously I uke a deep

105
00:05:56,880 --> 00:06:01,640
Speaker 3: threat for the Niners. They have enough around that roster

106
00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:05,800
Speaker 3: that can they can really carry Brock through a tough performance,

107
00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:09,039
Speaker 3: which I'm not expecting. He's shown that he has the

108
00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:12,360
Speaker 3: propensity to deliver and not make mistakes in the postseason,

109
00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:14,800
Speaker 3: but we'll see what the outcomes are when he does

110
00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:17,120
Speaker 3: face that Packers defense, who might have a little bit

111
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:19,960
Speaker 3: of a sharper edge coming off of a big game

112
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:20,839
Speaker 3: against Dallas.

113
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:21,520
Speaker 4: Yeah.

114
00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:23,680
Speaker 3: I think it is gonna be Baltimore though, and Damika

115
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:27,440
Speaker 3: Ryans was in his bag just a week ago. I'm

116
00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:28,360
Speaker 3: excited to see it.

117
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:32,040
Speaker 4: I think both one seeds are in good shape.

118
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:34,760
Speaker 5: I don't think there's one matchup that's like a red

119
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:35,719
Speaker 5: flag alert.

120
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:39,400
Speaker 4: I think everyone's really high on Houston this week, and

121
00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:41,480
Speaker 4: that scares me a lot.

122
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:45,520
Speaker 5: I think this Houston game and we'll get into it

123
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:47,640
Speaker 5: when we break it down, but it really reminds me

124
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:50,160
Speaker 5: of the matchup against the Jets from a few weeks ago,

125
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:53,520
Speaker 5: with the difference being the Jets offense is not the

126
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:54,400
Speaker 5: Ravens offense.

127
00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:56,200
Speaker 4: I think.

128
00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:59,440
Speaker 5: On the other side, with Green Bay and San Francisco, yeah,

129
00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:03,320
Speaker 5: the Joe Shanahan matchup, which should scare any Packers back

130
00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:04,359
Speaker 5: er here in this spot.

131
00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:07,599
Speaker 4: I think what Barry did last week was intriguing.

132
00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:10,320
Speaker 5: He threw a curveball, like the Packers blitz a lot,

133
00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:12,840
Speaker 5: and they did not blitz back at all. The curve

134
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:15,320
Speaker 5: ball this week is Purty's pretty good against the blitz

135
00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:18,160
Speaker 5: actually number one inefficiency against the Blitz this year. So

136
00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:20,560
Speaker 5: do they go do the Packers go back to that

137
00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:24,880
Speaker 5: really aggressive, you know scheme that they've been burned with

138
00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:27,760
Speaker 5: all season on defense, or do they kind of sit

139
00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:30,560
Speaker 5: back and let Purdy make the first mistake? Because right

140
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:32,160
Speaker 5: when was the last time we saw Purdy in a

141
00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:33,280
Speaker 5: big game in prime time?

142
00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:36,240
Speaker 4: It was against the Ravens and it did not go well.

143
00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:41,560
Speaker 5: So unlike Jordan Love, unlike I guess Lamar Jackson, I

144
00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:43,760
Speaker 5: know it's been a couple of weeks and c J. Stroud,

145
00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:46,000
Speaker 5: who kind of have the hot hand right now, Brock

146
00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:48,800
Speaker 5: Purdy doesn't have a hot hand. So that could be

147
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:52,840
Speaker 5: the one game where if Purdy just you know, isn't

148
00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:56,080
Speaker 5: it at the peak level, you know, throws an early interception,

149
00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:58,960
Speaker 5: you know, the confidence maybe isn't there, unlike the other

150
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:01,880
Speaker 5: guys on the field, doesn't have any and he playoff wins,

151
00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:03,640
Speaker 5: and I know Lamar struggled in the playoffs, but he

152
00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:06,280
Speaker 5: has the experience, and I think this is a different

153
00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:08,880
Speaker 5: animal this year. I've heard some good practice reports from

154
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:10,960
Speaker 5: the Ravens over the last two weeks. They've treated this

155
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:13,880
Speaker 5: bye week like it's it's you know, hard knocks and

156
00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:16,560
Speaker 5: not like a vacation. So I think if I had

157
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:19,200
Speaker 5: to pick one of the two, it would be the Niners.

158
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:21,120
Speaker 4: But I think both teams are in pretty good shape.

159
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:26,400
Speaker 2: This is an awesome nugget for today the doubleheader. So

160
00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:31,640
Speaker 2: we've got Lamar Jackson, C J. Stroud, and Jordan Love.

161
00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:36,240
Speaker 2: They're all trying to win their second career playoff games.

162
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:41,560
Speaker 2: Like think about that for a second, right, Like, yeah, CJ. Stroud, rookie,

163
00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:45,839
Speaker 2: Jordan Love, first year starting quarterback, Lamar Jackson has been

164
00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:49,840
Speaker 2: in the league since what twenty eighteen? Right, And all

165
00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:52,560
Speaker 2: three of those guys are looking for their second career

166
00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:56,840
Speaker 2: playoff wins, which is mind boggling. But you look at Lamar,

167
00:08:56,880 --> 00:09:00,320
Speaker 2: who's one in three in the playoffs thus far, and

168
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:03,280
Speaker 2: he's got to exercise some demons over there. There's no

169
00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:05,920
Speaker 2: doubt about it, and it could happen today. Against the Texans.

170
00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:10,600
Speaker 2: But to Rich's point, that's where history can sometimes work

171
00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:15,320
Speaker 2: against you. It's the Chicago Cubs theory, right, like the

172
00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:18,439
Speaker 2: lovable losers for so long. And I loved it as

173
00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:21,560
Speaker 2: a Cardinals fan, I gotta tell you, Yeah, I loved

174
00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:26,480
Speaker 2: seeing them melt down and like three and Bartman and

175
00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:29,880
Speaker 2: there was just this feeling in the crowd of oh no,

176
00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:34,440
Speaker 2: it's happening again. Right, And so when you have a

177
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:39,960
Speaker 2: shaky playoff history, like Lamar does three touchdown passes, five interceptions,

178
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:42,599
Speaker 2: I think we're prone to think, well, he's gonna be

179
00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:46,280
Speaker 2: a two time MVP. This is the moment where he

180
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:48,720
Speaker 2: kicks it into gear. If you get off to a

181
00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:51,720
Speaker 2: slower start, it's much harder to kick it into gear.

182
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:55,240
Speaker 2: Because you're a human being. You can't help but think

183
00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:58,080
Speaker 2: or sense from the crowd of like, oh no, is

184
00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:01,319
Speaker 2: it happening again. So I wonder if the Texans can

185
00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:03,720
Speaker 2: put that pressure on them by getting off to a

186
00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:04,560
Speaker 2: good start here.

187
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:08,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I think that's also one of the things

188
00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:12,280
Speaker 3: to key on is Bobby Slowick and that Houston Texans offense.

189
00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:15,280
Speaker 3: How they've been able to take an advantage of better

190
00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:19,280
Speaker 3: teams early in games. To have them chasing points. I

191
00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:22,120
Speaker 3: feel like one of the things that we don't talk

192
00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:27,120
Speaker 3: about is the offensive scheme that they've employed this entire season,

193
00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:30,560
Speaker 3: protecting CJ. Stroud from getting caught up in things that

194
00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:35,080
Speaker 3: he's not strong doing and highlighting strengths throwing the football

195
00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:39,160
Speaker 3: deep down the field between the hatches on high percentage throws,

196
00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:41,800
Speaker 3: finding receivers. Now he's got talent. He rolls out of

197
00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:42,560
Speaker 3: bed accurate.

198
00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:43,200
Speaker 2: CJ.

199
00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:46,080
Speaker 3: Stroud is one of those quarterbacks who just he seems

200
00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:49,240
Speaker 3: to fit it into windows that other rookie quarterbacks can't.

201
00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:53,760
Speaker 3: But when you're throwing the ball towards the sideline at

202
00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:57,240
Speaker 3: a high rate, especially earlier in your career, I think

203
00:10:57,280 --> 00:11:00,480
Speaker 3: it can defeat your confidence. But Bobby Slow he's done

204
00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:03,840
Speaker 3: something that Kyle Shanahan has done with Brock Purdy over

205
00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:06,959
Speaker 3: the course of his first two seasons, getting him really

206
00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:11,360
Speaker 3: comfortable completing passes early in games and then waiting for

207
00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:14,720
Speaker 3: the big shot downfield, you know, second and eight from

208
00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:18,000
Speaker 3: the you know, your opponent's forty five yard line, when

209
00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:20,199
Speaker 3: they may think you're going with you know, screen or

210
00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:22,840
Speaker 3: draw because the pass rush has been on, or maybe

211
00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:25,360
Speaker 3: you're lolling into sleep because you're showing them a lot

212
00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:27,400
Speaker 3: of stuff out to the sideline, and all of a sudden,

213
00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:30,440
Speaker 3: there's a post route splitting you know, two safeties down

214
00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:32,800
Speaker 3: the middle of the field for a touchdown with Nico Collins.

215
00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:37,360
Speaker 3: It's been that kind of season for Stroud and Bobby

216
00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:39,840
Speaker 3: Slowick his offensive coordinators. So if you could get an

217
00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:42,160
Speaker 3: early jump on the Ravens, the Ravens are not a

218
00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:45,640
Speaker 3: team that likes to play from behind. Lamar Jackson is

219
00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:49,440
Speaker 3: not a quarterback that is good at chasing points. They're

220
00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:51,880
Speaker 3: front runners. And that's not a bad thing, because it's

221
00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:54,160
Speaker 3: good to be a bully on the school yard. In

222
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:56,920
Speaker 3: the NFL, it's great because he got a big, strong

223
00:11:57,000 --> 00:12:00,199
Speaker 3: defense with a bunch of committed pass rushers, and you

224
00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:03,440
Speaker 3: got this juggernaut rushing offense who once you have a lead,

225
00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:06,080
Speaker 3: you could really hold your thumb over people in the

226
00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:09,720
Speaker 3: second half. But if you got Lamar Jackson chasing points,

227
00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:11,280
Speaker 3: it can be a real problem for you. So I

228
00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:14,720
Speaker 3: believe that's gonna be the Texans plan. Fast start, red

229
00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:18,319
Speaker 3: hot start on offense. Those first ten or twenty scripted plays,

230
00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:20,960
Speaker 3: you're gonna have some shots down field to take advantage

231
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:25,280
Speaker 3: of Baltimore defensively, and if he connects, If CJ. Stroud connects,

232
00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:27,400
Speaker 3: Baltimore may be in for a long, hard day right

233
00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:28,040
Speaker 3: out the gates.

234
00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:31,720
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think we see this Ravens game a lot differently, guys,

235
00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:32,720
Speaker 5: based on how you guys.

236
00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:35,320
Speaker 4: I think it's gonna be a really tough game for c. J. Stroud,

237
00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:35,959
Speaker 4: I really do.

238
00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:40,120
Speaker 5: I think last week was so easy, and you just

239
00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:42,600
Speaker 5: look at the schematics of who they were facing last week.

240
00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:44,920
Speaker 4: So first of all, I gave you the Browns that

241
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:46,520
Speaker 4: was dead wrong on that game. So maybe I'm just

242
00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:47,520
Speaker 4: a c. J. Stroud hater.

243
00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:51,720
Speaker 5: But then when I dove into it and I really

244
00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:55,000
Speaker 5: watched what they were able to do against Cleveland, I

245
00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:57,040
Speaker 5: think it was an advantage the fact that it was

246
00:12:57,080 --> 00:12:59,720
Speaker 5: the second time in three games that was advantage offense.

247
00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:03,559
Speaker 5: Because Jim Schwartz, the Browns defensive coordinator, he's kind of

248
00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:06,920
Speaker 5: an old school guy. He's kind of a stubborn schemer.

249
00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:09,800
Speaker 5: He didn't make any adjustments from the first game, like

250
00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:12,160
Speaker 5: it was here's our defense, it's a top five unit,

251
00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:15,480
Speaker 5: go beat it. And Bobby Slowick's a really smart guy.

252
00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:19,760
Speaker 5: They made a lot of adjustments. They didn't they let CJ.

253
00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:21,960
Speaker 5: Stroud do whatever he wanted the line of scrimmage, and

254
00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:24,800
Speaker 5: that was surprising, like they really gave him the keys

255
00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:28,000
Speaker 5: to the car, and everything was well timed. The screens,

256
00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:31,120
Speaker 5: the deep shots were all against one high like it

257
00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:34,200
Speaker 5: just everything just kind of fit together, and the pressure

258
00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:36,680
Speaker 5: just was a step slow, like it was there. I

259
00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:39,520
Speaker 5: think Miles Garrett got like a record high win rate

260
00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:42,320
Speaker 5: in the game up front, but just couldn't quite get

261
00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:44,840
Speaker 5: that last step to the quarterback because everything was timed

262
00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:48,760
Speaker 5: perfectly well. Mike McDonald, the Ravens defensive coordinator, watched that

263
00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:50,679
Speaker 5: he had a chance to sit back in his nice

264
00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:53,160
Speaker 5: cushy chair and eat his bond bonds and sip his

265
00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:57,079
Speaker 5: cola and watch everything Bobby Slowick was kind of doing.

266
00:13:57,160 --> 00:14:00,560
Speaker 5: And I just I think McDonald, who know, ohs Stroud

267
00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:02,960
Speaker 5: really well, like they faced each other in week one

268
00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:07,320
Speaker 5: and oh, by the way, in case you forgot defensive coordinator,

269
00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:10,720
Speaker 5: Mike McDonald the Michigan defensive coordinator in twenty twenty one

270
00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:13,680
Speaker 5: when the Wolverines beat the Buck guys, and who was

271
00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:15,240
Speaker 5: the quarterback of that Buck guys team?

272
00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:16,360
Speaker 4: CJ. Stroud.

273
00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:19,760
Speaker 5: So I just I think the Ravens defense is going

274
00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:20,720
Speaker 5: to be ready for this.

275
00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:23,920
Speaker 4: You've got no Noah Brown No tanked out both of us.

276
00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:25,840
Speaker 5: Both of those guys played in the Week one game,

277
00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:27,840
Speaker 5: and the Texans still only scored nine points.

278
00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:28,760
Speaker 2: I know that was c J.

279
00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:29,760
Speaker 4: Stroud's first ever.

280
00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:32,200
Speaker 5: Game on the road, you know, in his NFL debut,

281
00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:35,520
Speaker 5: but this is his first road playoff game in cold weather,

282
00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:39,360
Speaker 5: bad environment, tough defense. Like I just this is not

283
00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:42,600
Speaker 5: gonna go as easy as it went last week. The

284
00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:44,800
Speaker 5: Texans have to be able to run the ball effectively,

285
00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:47,320
Speaker 5: get the play action going, and allow CJ to operate

286
00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:49,040
Speaker 5: clean at the line of scrimmage.

287
00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:49,400

Speaker 2: I want football fans in particular to avoid this mystery

337
00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:40,360
Speaker 2: every now and then you push back, you know, every

338
00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:42,560
Speaker 2: now and then it's like no, no, no, they shouldn't

339
00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:47,879
Speaker 2: trade Otani, you know, stuff like yeah, okay, give it

340
00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:51,800
Speaker 2: a chance here, all right. There is a phrase that

341
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:54,359
Speaker 2: is used like clockwork this time of year, when the

342
00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:57,639
Speaker 2: NFL playoffs roll around. There were a couple of people

343
00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:04,240
Speaker 2: after the Packers won last week that used this mystery phrase,

344
00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:09,160
Speaker 2: and it causes me to turn colors in a blind rage.

345
00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:14,920
Speaker 2: The term is house money. Okay, now, just give me

346
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:18,359
Speaker 2: a second here to lay out the groundwork of why

347
00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:23,920
Speaker 2: I despise this phrase. Okay, you've heard this said many times. Hey,

348
00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:27,240
Speaker 2: the Packers, they're playing with house money. No one thought

349
00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:30,760
Speaker 2: they'd be here. They got nothing to lose, Yeah, nothing

350
00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:34,280
Speaker 2: to lose. Let's walk through that. Just the season, just

351
00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:38,080
Speaker 2: everything they've worked for, no guarantee they're gonna get back

352
00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:42,399
Speaker 2: to this stage next season, the next few seasons. There's

353
00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:47,000
Speaker 2: so much on the line that it can't be explained, like, eh,

354
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:49,800
Speaker 2: house money, no one thought they'd be here. What no

355
00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:53,080
Speaker 2: big deal they lost in the playoffs? Are you insane?

356
00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:56,680
Speaker 2: It makes no sense to me. The last thing I'll

357
00:18:56,680 --> 00:19:00,840
Speaker 2: tell you this. In the Packers locker room, that's being

358
00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:03,720
Speaker 2: discussed is, Hey, no one thought we'd be here. We're

359
00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:06,600
Speaker 2: kind of playing with house money. They believe they belong,

360
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:11,240
Speaker 2: they believe they can win, and this idea that like

361
00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:14,440
Speaker 2: it's all good if they lose just because no one

362
00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:19,679
Speaker 2: thought they'd be here is ridiculous. It makes my skin curl.

363
00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:23,200
Speaker 2: And how much I hate the phrase house money is

364
00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:24,640
Speaker 2: where I'm standing on this thing.

365
00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:28,800
Speaker 3: I agree with you that that is the mentality of

366
00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:33,720
Speaker 3: many teams, especially many successful teams, especially successful teams who

367
00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:39,439
Speaker 3: either have had some sustained success or you know, really

368
00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:41,679
Speaker 3: feel like they're the team that's going to shock the

369
00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:45,640
Speaker 3: world and nobody believes them yet. Right, there's a little

370
00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:48,080
Speaker 3: bit of that edge to the San Francisco forty nine

371
00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:51,080
Speaker 3: ers when Garoppolo went down and Trey Lance went down

372
00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:54,040
Speaker 3: and then it was Brock Purdy's team, and in the

373
00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:57,000
Speaker 3: Bay Area, it seemed like all those players knew how

374
00:19:57,040 --> 00:19:59,320
Speaker 3: special Brock was and they were rallying around them.

375
00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:00,320
Speaker 2: But the rest of the world old win.

376
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:05,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, but he was the last overall pick. So if

377
00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:09,320
Speaker 3: everybody there in San Francisco was that big of believers,

378
00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:11,800
Speaker 3: why didn't they take him sooner in the draft. I mean,

379
00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:15,160
Speaker 3: it's just a little uneven, you know, how he got

380
00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:17,520
Speaker 3: to where he was and what he actually was.

381
00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:20,880
Speaker 2: So there's some of that right where the locker.

382
00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:23,560
Speaker 3: Room has this level of belief that is maybe not

383
00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:27,719
Speaker 3: completely in line with what everybody on the outside believes.

384
00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:30,640
Speaker 3: But then, I promise you, because I've been in locker

385
00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:33,320
Speaker 3: rooms where we feel this way. We're kind of like

386
00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:37,200
Speaker 3: looking at each other like, I mean, we're not this good,

387
00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:41,639
Speaker 3: you know. I'll give you an example. I'll give you

388
00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:44,919
Speaker 3: an example. Now, wasn't a postseason team. It wasn't, but

389
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:48,919
Speaker 3: I remember one time twenty twelve it was kind of

390
00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:52,880
Speaker 3: a pinch me moment. I was with the Arizona Cardinals

391
00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:55,280
Speaker 3: and we roared out to this four and oh start,

392
00:20:55,480 --> 00:20:57,880
Speaker 3: and the Bills were coming to town and I think

393
00:20:57,920 --> 00:21:01,439
Speaker 3: they had some tough early season law and you know,

394
00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:04,600
Speaker 3: all the media covering the game, they were like the

395
00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:06,840
Speaker 3: Bills are going out to the desert to draw a

396
00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:10,240
Speaker 3: line in the sand like that, like the buck stops

397
00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:14,280
Speaker 3: here for the Bills. And we started having this, you know,

398
00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:17,000
Speaker 3: like a little bit of belief in ourselves. But there

399
00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:18,679
Speaker 3: were still guys like looking at each other in the

400
00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:22,320
Speaker 3: locker room, including our quarterback Kevin Cobb, like, I.

401
00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:26,320
Speaker 2: Mean, we're not really a four to zero team, are we?

402
00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:30,200
Speaker 3: And we went out in that game, Cob got a concussion,

403
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:33,919
Speaker 3: We they they drew a line in the sand. We

404
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:36,960
Speaker 3: got the britches beat off of us, right, and then

405
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:41,119
Speaker 3: we went on a nine game losing streak. It was

406
00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:44,200
Speaker 3: one of those moments where we're like, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah,

407
00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:46,480
Speaker 3: we got found out. Like there was a little bit

408
00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:48,480
Speaker 3: of smoke and mirrors to this, and we all kind

409
00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:49,000
Speaker 3: of knew it.

410
00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:51,080
Speaker 2: We didn't realize how bad we were gonna be.

411
00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:54,000
Speaker 3: We only won one more game that season after going

412
00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:55,960
Speaker 3: on this four game win streak to start it off.

413
00:21:56,440 --> 00:22:00,560
Speaker 3: It's it, but it is it. How could I There

414
00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:03,959
Speaker 3: are certain teams that you play for and when you lose,

415
00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:07,840
Speaker 3: it's unacceptable because you shouldn't have lost to anybody. But

416
00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:10,760
Speaker 3: there are certain teams that after the season, you know,

417
00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:12,760
Speaker 3: you hang up your helmet and you're pissed off that

418
00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:15,159
Speaker 3: you got bounced out of the postseason, but you're like,

419
00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:18,040
Speaker 3: you know what, though, we kind of snuck in there

420
00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:20,320
Speaker 3: to begin with, and we got a lot to build

421
00:22:20,359 --> 00:22:23,080
Speaker 3: on for next year. So while there's no moral victories

422
00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:25,840
Speaker 3: in a loss. You feel good about how far you

423
00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:29,600
Speaker 3: got with what you had. Twenty thirteen Chargers, that team

424
00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:32,919
Speaker 3: I played for, we kind of snuck into the postseason.

425
00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:35,359
Speaker 3: We got to win on the road at Cincinnati. Those

426
00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:37,919
Speaker 3: were the Lewis years in Cincinnati. We beat Andy Dalton

427
00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:40,639
Speaker 3: the red Rifle out there in the jungle. And I

428
00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:45,000
Speaker 3: remember after losing to Denver to Peyton Manning the next game,

429
00:22:45,520 --> 00:22:47,639
Speaker 3: we all got on that plane home from Denver and

430
00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:50,959
Speaker 3: it sucked, and it's stung, and nobody was happy with

431
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:54,320
Speaker 3: the playoff loss. Our season was over, but we all

432
00:22:54,359 --> 00:22:57,800
Speaker 3: were able to sort of reside in the mental space

433
00:22:57,840 --> 00:22:59,959
Speaker 3: that hell, that was a hell of an effort to

434
00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:02,680
Speaker 3: finished a regular season, and next year we're gonna get

435
00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:04,800
Speaker 3: them all. We didn't, but that was the plan.

436
00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:09,359
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think that's saying Brian, and I, first of all,

437
00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:12,960
Speaker 5: I love this segment. I love Rich's anecdotes there because

438
00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:15,240
Speaker 5: obviously I cannot provide that kind of.

439
00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:18,000
Speaker 4: That level of experience with this.

440
00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:21,679
Speaker 5: But I think what I can provide is there is

441
00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:25,720
Speaker 5: a lot of you know, there's a lot of cliches

442
00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:29,320
Speaker 5: on our side of the aisle in the sports broadcasting space.

443
00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:31,159
Speaker 5: We hear them all the time. I hear them in

444
00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:32,920
Speaker 5: the sports betting space all the time.

445
00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:34,640
Speaker 4: That's one.

446
00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:38,359
Speaker 5: I definitely hear a lot the house money right too

447
00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:40,560
Speaker 5: young to know how big, And I said it last

448
00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:43,360
Speaker 5: week with the Packers, right youngest team in the NFL.

449
00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:45,840
Speaker 4: They don't know how big this stage really is.

450
00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:49,359
Speaker 5: And they played with that lack of fear because the

451
00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:52,320
Speaker 5: aggression showed very early in that Cowboys game.

452
00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:55,879
Speaker 4: I do think where the Packers do.

453
00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:59,040
Speaker 5: Feel that way, and maybe it's not house money, but

454
00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:02,960
Speaker 5: they know that they have to play with that completely

455
00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:04,600
Speaker 5: fearless in order to win this.

456
00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:05,440
Speaker 4: Game, like they can't.

457
00:24:05,560 --> 00:24:08,480
Speaker 5: Whereas the Niners might be a little more conservative because

458
00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:11,280
Speaker 5: they're supposed to win, the Packers have to be like

459
00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:14,200
Speaker 5: do you remember the scene in The Dark Knight Rises

460
00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:16,040
Speaker 5: where he was trying to get out of the pit

461
00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:18,760
Speaker 5: and he kept trying to jump over the thing and

462
00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:20,800
Speaker 5: he couldn't do it, and finally the guy said, you

463
00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:23,399
Speaker 5: have to take off the safety harness because you have

464
00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:27,080
Speaker 5: to have the no fear mentality, like I am going

465
00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:29,600
Speaker 5: to make this no matter what, and then he obviously

466
00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:31,000
Speaker 5: it's a movie. He made it over you know, he

467
00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:33,720
Speaker 5: made it out of the pit after that final jump.

468
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:36,320
Speaker 5: But that's how the Packers have to play today, and

469
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:40,760
Speaker 5: they have to play like they're playing with house money.

470
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:44,480
Speaker 5: But that's just the mentality I think, and I think

471
00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:47,119
Speaker 5: it's kind of just no fear, like we have to

472
00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:48,920
Speaker 5: be really aggressive, we have to go in and take

473
00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:51,840
Speaker 5: the first shot. They did it last week against the Cowboys,

474
00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:53,879
Speaker 5: and the same thing with the Texans, Like they have

475
00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:57,199
Speaker 5: to go in today and just play with absolutely no

476
00:24:57,359 --> 00:24:59,640
Speaker 5: fear because if you play scared in the NFL, you're

477
00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:02,880
Speaker 5: gonna get beat. So while the cliches can be yeah,

478
00:25:02,920 --> 00:25:06,480
Speaker 5: a little bit, eh, that's the mentality that I think

479
00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:08,399
Speaker 5: those underdogs have to play with today.

480
00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:09,960
Speaker 4: But let's be honest, at the end of the day,

481
00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:11,040
Speaker 4: if the Packers.

482
00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:13,240
Speaker 5: Lose this game today, I think they're going to be

483
00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:16,919
Speaker 5: pretty happy with the season they had considering everything that

484
00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:18,800
Speaker 5: is kind of transpired, and it'll.

485
00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:20,120
Speaker 4: Be a lot to build on for next year.

486
00:25:20,359 --> 00:25:25,240
Speaker 2: Well, the thing with house money, Listen, if I if

487
00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:28,399
Speaker 2: I take a little portion and say maybe this is

488
00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:31,680
Speaker 2: what you mean, I can get it to a point

489
00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:36,400
Speaker 2: where the pressure isn't the same right right, right, Like, yeah,

490
00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:39,520
Speaker 2: I think that's what you're trying to get to, but

491
00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:41,600
Speaker 2: it's really packaged wrongly.

492
00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:42,160
Speaker 3: Right.

493
00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:46,000
Speaker 2: If you look at the Texans, they don't have the

494
00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:50,320
Speaker 2: same pressure to win today as the Ravens do. Correct,

495
00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:52,760
Speaker 2: the Ravens are the ones seed, they're expected to win.

496
00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:55,360
Speaker 2: They've got a two time MVP soon to be named

497
00:25:55,359 --> 00:25:59,200
Speaker 2: in Lamar Jackson. There's more pressure on the Ravens. There's

498
00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:03,320
Speaker 2: more pressure on the Niners. They're expected to win, and

499
00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:07,200
Speaker 2: so the pressure isn't the same. I think we take

500
00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:09,199
Speaker 2: it too far, as if there's no pressure on the

501
00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:13,120
Speaker 2: Packers or the Texans. Anybody who's played sports you don't

502
00:26:13,119 --> 00:26:16,000
Speaker 2: want to let down any of your teammates. There is

503
00:26:16,119 --> 00:26:19,840
Speaker 2: always pressure, no matter what the expectations are from the outside,

504
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:23,080
Speaker 2: to not let your teammates down and not be the

505
00:26:23,119 --> 00:26:26,440
Speaker 2: one that screws it all up. So this idea of ah,

506
00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:28,639
Speaker 2: there's no pressure, they can be loosey goosey, I think

507
00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:31,800
Speaker 2: we take that too far. But granted it's not the

508
00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:36,639
Speaker 2: same pressure as your one seed opposition. But to say

509
00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:39,760
Speaker 2: house money, like again, if I go to the casino

510
00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:42,800
Speaker 2: and I win a thousand bucks and I just lose

511
00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:45,560
Speaker 2: most of it or all of it back, I could say, well,

512
00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:49,119
Speaker 2: it wasn't my money. It was house money. That's not

513
00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:53,439
Speaker 2: what the NFL playoffs are. Man, if the Packers or

514
00:26:53,480 --> 00:26:57,280
Speaker 2: Texans lose today, could you imagine for a second one

515
00:26:57,320 --> 00:27:01,439
Speaker 2: of the players saying that after a law yeah, I

516
00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:07,600
Speaker 2: was playing with house money. Horrible comment to make. And

517
00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:10,040
Speaker 2: that's why I I a lot.

518
00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:11,359
Speaker 4: To build on for next year, right.

519
00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:14,639
Speaker 5: I think the Packers in the Texans have you know,

520
00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:17,840
Speaker 5: upstaged any expectation any of us could ever have on

521
00:27:17,920 --> 00:27:18,359
Speaker 5: this season.

522
00:27:18,359 --> 00:27:20,840
Speaker 3: For Yeah, you know, I love the way by the

523
00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:23,760
Speaker 3: way that you said that that Brian, the fact that

524
00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:27,240
Speaker 3: you just you understand the mentality. You hate how it's packaged.

525
00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:27,600
Speaker 4: Yea.

526
00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:30,840
Speaker 3: But when you do unpack the phrase playing with house

527
00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:33,200
Speaker 3: money and you think about what's on the opposite side

528
00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:35,440
Speaker 3: of that, and you think about some of the losses

529
00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:39,240
Speaker 3: we saw suffered in the Super Wildcard round with Dallas

530
00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:44,679
Speaker 3: and Philadelphia specifically, Like you compare the situation Dallas is in,

531
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:49,240
Speaker 3: especially Mike McCarthy compared to Matt lafleur out in Green Bay.

532
00:27:49,280 --> 00:27:52,240
Speaker 3: You look at the situation that Philadelphia is in this season,

533
00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:55,720
Speaker 3: especially with Nick Sirianni compared to Todd Bowles and the

534
00:27:55,760 --> 00:27:59,199
Speaker 3: Buccaneers with Baker Mayfield, and you think, well, one of

535
00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:02,679
Speaker 3: these guys has a bet on the table that is

536
00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:07,480
Speaker 3: marriage or his mortgage is depending on and another guy

537
00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:10,120
Speaker 3: has chips on the table where it's like, I mean,

538
00:28:10,359 --> 00:28:12,560
Speaker 3: I just blew in here for my bachelor party, and

539
00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:16,679
Speaker 3: I gotta tell you, yeah, putting one hundred bucks on

540
00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:21,000
Speaker 3: number seventeen on the roulette table it really paid off,

541
00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:21,280
Speaker 3: you know.

542
00:28:21,359 --> 00:28:23,400
Speaker 2: It's like it's it's what, it's.

543
00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:26,760
Speaker 3: A completely you have somebody who's like legitimately sweating, Like

544
00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:30,920
Speaker 3: my wife said, no more, she drew the line, and

545
00:28:31,359 --> 00:28:33,440
Speaker 3: the other guys on the other side of the table going,

546
00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:35,960
Speaker 3: oh my god, we going to the spearmit righty, I

547
00:28:36,040 --> 00:28:36,679
Speaker 3: know after this.

548
00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:40,120
Speaker 2: So there is there, There is that field.

549
00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:42,680
Speaker 3: Like you said, it's probably packaged the wrong way, but

550
00:28:42,760 --> 00:28:46,440
Speaker 3: it does describe the perfect picture of the guy playing

551
00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:48,080
Speaker 3: loose and the guy playing tight.

552
00:28:48,360 --> 00:28:51,440
Speaker 5: Oh man, we got a spearmit Rhino mentioned on the show.

553
00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:54,480
Speaker 4: Can we just like, honestly, it's not gonna get any better.

554

588
00:30:51,400 --> 00:30:54,080
Speaker 3: on my show Big Rich TD and Fletch in San Diego,

589
00:30:54,360 --> 00:30:58,480
Speaker 3: I do a morning sports radio show, and we had

590
00:30:58,480 --> 00:31:01,040
Speaker 3: a season long NFL bet. You know, we were just

591
00:31:01,080 --> 00:31:06,040
Speaker 3: picking you know, win lost totals and you know, and

592
00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:09,080
Speaker 3: we had it going the whole season and somehow, via

593
00:31:09,480 --> 00:31:12,520
Speaker 3: different roots, we all ended up with the same exact

594
00:31:12,640 --> 00:31:13,520
Speaker 3: number of wins.

595
00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:16,080
Speaker 2: Looking at the total wins on this.

596
00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:20,280
Speaker 3: So we're all losers, you tie each other, you're all punished.

597
00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:23,720
Speaker 3: And the bet was whoever loses this how to do

598

Speaker 3: the Spiciest tortilla Chip on the Planet Challenge, and so

600
00:31:31,320 --> 00:31:34,000
Speaker 3: boxes in eight these live on air, and it was

601
00:31:34,080 --> 00:31:36,680
Speaker 3: one of the more miserable experiences of my life.

602
00:31:36,720 --> 00:31:38,800
Speaker 4: I couldn't look away as a car accident in the video.

603

615
00:32:21,080 --> 00:32:21,840
Speaker 2: talking about?

Speaker 5: Ye.

620
00:32:28,280 --> 00:32:32,400
Speaker 3: So my one of our co hosts TD he is

621
00:32:32,560 --> 00:32:35,040
Speaker 3: literally hugging a trash can in the middle of the show.

622
00:32:35,120 --> 00:32:36,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, that was funny.

623
00:32:36,280 --> 00:32:41,040
Speaker 3: Another one of my co hosts within fifty seconds started

624
00:32:41,160 --> 00:32:43,000
Speaker 3: just housing vanilla ice cream.

625
00:32:43,440 --> 00:32:45,960
Speaker 2: Later on, like an hour and a half later, ice cream.

626
00:32:46,080 --> 00:32:48,200
Speaker 3: He had to pull over off the side of the

627
00:32:48,280 --> 00:32:50,840
Speaker 3: road and he's doing the he's doing the call the

628
00:32:50,840 --> 00:32:53,160
Speaker 3: wild somewhere off the freeway. You know what I mean.

629
00:32:53,200 --> 00:32:56,120
Speaker 3: This guy is just yacking. And then I'm fine, like,

630
00:32:56,160 --> 00:32:57,320
Speaker 3: I'm cruising courses.

631
00:32:57,440 --> 00:32:59,520
Speaker 4: You are, like, I'm telling you, human.

632
00:32:59,320 --> 00:33:01,840
Speaker 2: Bro, I might have like animal parts of me.

633
00:33:01,960 --> 00:33:04,959
Speaker 3: I don't know, but so'm I'm cruising through this thing.

634
00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:07,120
Speaker 3: I'm like, okay, I got through the first thirty minutes,

635
00:33:07,120 --> 00:33:09,760
Speaker 3: which sucked unbearably, but then I'm like, all right, it

636
00:33:09,840 --> 00:33:12,480
Speaker 3: was spicy. I'm probably gonna pay for it a couple

637
00:33:12,480 --> 00:33:15,560
Speaker 3: of days from now that that's gonna stink, but okay, whatever,

638
00:33:16,080 --> 00:33:19,200
Speaker 3: And then, like I guess it was right at the

639
00:33:19,280 --> 00:33:22,400
Speaker 3: fifty eight minute mark, my stomach just goes, hey, buddy,

640
00:33:22,640 --> 00:33:25,080
Speaker 3: oh no, yeah, we need to have like a man

641
00:33:25,080 --> 00:33:28,960
Speaker 3: to man here. This what you just did is unfair.

642
00:33:29,480 --> 00:33:31,640
Speaker 3: The only thing you patted your stomach with was a

643
00:33:31,640 --> 00:33:33,520
Speaker 3: cup of coffee this morning, and then you do this

644
00:33:33,600 --> 00:33:35,160
Speaker 3: to me. No, no, no, we're gonna have work.

645
00:33:35,240 --> 00:33:35,520
Speaker 2: Wow.

646
00:33:35,640 --> 00:33:39,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, so it was. It wasn't pretty, but look, we

647
00:33:39,240 --> 00:33:40,960
Speaker 3: we live, we learn, we laugh.

648
00:33:41,800 --> 00:33:42,960
Speaker 2: Did you learn though?

649
00:33:43,760 --> 00:33:47,160
Speaker 3: No? Probably not, because I'm most likely drinking a cup

650
00:33:47,160 --> 00:33:50,640
Speaker 3: of coffee with mayonnaise this year for losing our season

651
00:33:50,680 --> 00:33:52,320
Speaker 3: long rapid fire betting segment.

652
00:33:52,400 --> 00:33:54,520
Speaker 4: I don't know, like, did we did we confirm that?

653
00:33:54,800 --> 00:33:56,040
Speaker 4: We officially that?

654
00:33:57,040 --> 00:33:57,200
Speaker 5: Hell?

655
00:33:57,280 --> 00:33:57,840
Speaker 2: Yeah we are?

656
00:33:57,880 --> 00:33:58,440
Speaker 3: What do you mean?

657
00:33:59,200 --> 00:33:59,360
Speaker 2: Yeah?

658
00:33:59,400 --> 00:34:01,160
Speaker 5: I didn't know what because I remember earlier in the season,

659
00:34:01,280 --> 00:34:02,720
Speaker 5: Rich was like, never again with the Mayo.

660
00:34:02,880 --> 00:34:05,080
Speaker 3: I know I did say that I did, and it

661
00:34:05,120 --> 00:34:07,560
Speaker 3: looks like I might end up having to do it

662
00:34:07,600 --> 00:34:08,040
Speaker 3: with the Mayo.

663
00:34:08,239 --> 00:34:10,080

Speaker 5: you finishing in that spot we're pretty high again this year.

666
00:34:15,239 --> 00:34:17,040
Speaker 4: I wanted to give you a chance to change the

667
00:34:17,160 --> 00:34:17,920
Speaker 4: narrative a little bit.

668
00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:18,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know.

669
00:34:18,800 --> 00:34:21,720

Speaker 5: A tight end theme here on day one of the

715
00:36:44,760 --> 00:36:47,920
Speaker 5: divisional round I'm going Isaiah likely to score a touchdown.

716
00:36:47,960 --> 00:36:49,880
Speaker 5: This is on its own about a plus one eighty

717
00:36:49,960 --> 00:36:52,719
Speaker 5: hit on bet MGM. No Mark Andrews of course for

718
00:36:52,800 --> 00:36:54,719
Speaker 5: the Ravens, and Houston really struggles to have been the

719
00:36:54,719 --> 00:36:56,880
Speaker 5: tight end right and Joku last week had some drops,

720
00:36:57,080 --> 00:36:59,520
Speaker 5: but even without those drops, seven catches for ninety three

721
00:36:59,560 --> 00:37:01,680
Speaker 5: yards for Browns against that Texans defense.

722
00:37:01,680 --> 00:37:06,080
Speaker 4: So I think Likely is likely to find the end zone.

723
00:37:06,440 --> 00:37:08,960
Speaker 5: Let's go Isaya into the end zone at plus one

724
00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:11,040
Speaker 5: eighty George Kittle, right, Like I mean, this is the

725
00:37:11,080 --> 00:37:14,279
Speaker 5: guy for the Niners. I know they've got Debo and McCaffrey,

726
00:37:14,280 --> 00:37:17,319
Speaker 5: but Green Bay really struggles to defend the tight end.

727
00:37:17,360 --> 00:37:20,279
Speaker 5: Look at Jake Ferguson last week. He got three touchdowns

728
00:37:20,280 --> 00:37:22,759
Speaker 5: for the Cowboys. He was the only bright spot for

729
00:37:22,920 --> 00:37:27,120
Speaker 5: that Cowboys offense against the Packers defense. I think McCaffrey

730
00:37:27,160 --> 00:37:30,320
Speaker 5: will obviously be keyed on. I think Deebo Samuel could

731
00:37:30,520 --> 00:37:33,240
Speaker 5: be another score for the Niners. Maybe there's another random

732
00:37:33,239 --> 00:37:35,000
Speaker 5: one I'm not thinking of, but I think Kettle is

733
00:37:35,080 --> 00:37:38,360
Speaker 5: kind of the heart and soul of this Niners offense.

734
00:37:38,400 --> 00:37:40,120
Speaker 5: So we'll go George Kittle to find the end zone

735
00:37:40,120 --> 00:37:42,040
Speaker 5: by itself. It's about plus one twenty five. All right,

736
00:37:42,080 --> 00:37:43,920
Speaker 5: let's go to Sunday. Now, some long shots we make

737
00:37:43,960 --> 00:37:47,040
Speaker 5: it through today. The long shots, I say for Sunday

738
00:37:47,640 --> 00:37:50,560
Speaker 5: Jamison Williams for the Lions. He is the deep threat

739
00:37:50,600 --> 00:37:53,400
Speaker 5: for this Detroit team. I'm on Ross Saint Brown, the

740
00:37:53,440 --> 00:37:55,879
Speaker 5: number one receiver. The Bucks have actually been pretty good

741
00:37:55,880 --> 00:37:58,920
Speaker 5: against the number one receivers this year, but they've struggled

742
00:37:58,920 --> 00:38:01,480
Speaker 5: against the twos and and you know, the deep threats

743
00:38:01,719 --> 00:38:02,279
Speaker 5: have been the.

744
00:38:02,239 --> 00:38:03,640
Speaker 4: Problem for this Bucks defense.

745
00:38:03,640 --> 00:38:05,360
Speaker 5: He scored the last time they faced each other a

746
00:38:05,400 --> 00:38:07,799
Speaker 5: few weeks ago, and I think Jameis and Williams now right,

747
00:38:07,840 --> 00:38:09,600
Speaker 5: the training wheels are off for him. He's been in

748
00:38:09,600 --> 00:38:13,360
Speaker 5: the league after the suspension with the gambling stuff, and

749
00:38:13,400 --> 00:38:16,160
Speaker 5: he's out of the doghouse for Campbell, and I think

750
00:38:16,200 --> 00:38:17,680
Speaker 5: this is a good spot for him to take the

751
00:38:17,680 --> 00:38:19,600
Speaker 5: top off this Bucks defense. It's a three to one

752
00:38:19,640 --> 00:38:22,920
Speaker 5: shot for Jamison Williams to score touchdown solo. And then finally,

753
00:38:22,920 --> 00:38:24,359
Speaker 5: if we make it to this game and we got

754
00:38:24,360 --> 00:38:28,640
Speaker 5: this parlay a love, we are feeling good. Justin Watson,

755
00:38:29,560 --> 00:38:32,600
Speaker 5: he has scored three times this year for the Chiefs. Obviously,

756
00:38:32,719 --> 00:38:36,000
Speaker 5: Kelsey and Pacheco and Rashi Rise have been kind of

757
00:38:36,000 --> 00:38:38,600
Speaker 5: the emerging guys. But hey, Justin Watson got a red

758
00:38:38,640 --> 00:38:41,000
Speaker 5: zone target last week in that game against the Dolphins.

759
00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:44,160
Speaker 5: So plus three point fifty for Watson to score. If

760
00:38:44,200 --> 00:38:47,400
Speaker 5: you add up all four of these guys, likely Kiddle Williams,

761
00:38:47,440 --> 00:38:50,799
Speaker 5: Watson won twelve to one.

762
00:38:51,440 --> 00:38:53,800
Speaker 4: So one dollar makes you one hundred and twelve dollars.

763
00:38:53,880 --> 00:38:55,560
Speaker 4: What do you think, guys? Is that worth a buck

764
00:38:55,600 --> 00:38:56,200
Speaker 4: in your eyes?

765
00:38:57,239 --> 00:38:57,399
Speaker 8: Uh?

766
00:38:57,719 --> 00:39:01,839
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think I think that. Well, I'm praying that

767
00:39:01,880 --> 00:39:05,600
Speaker 3: this happens. I love the Isaiah likely me too. They

768
00:39:05,640 --> 00:39:07,600
Speaker 3: run a lot of Cover three and Cover four, so

769
00:39:07,640 --> 00:39:10,560
Speaker 3: you can feast underneath against that type of defense with

770
00:39:10,680 --> 00:39:14,640
Speaker 3: that shell. Jamison Williams, like you said, it feels like

771
00:39:14,719 --> 00:39:18,480
Speaker 3: the longest shot on the board. But gosh, I don't

772
00:39:18,480 --> 00:39:19,839
Speaker 3: hate any of them individually.

773
00:39:20,440 --> 00:39:21,480
Speaker 4: Let's go. Yeah.

774
00:39:21,920 --> 00:39:26,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, Hey, I like your picks today, the two tight ends. Yeah,

775
00:39:26,080 --> 00:39:26,680
Speaker 2: I like it.

776
00:39:26,680 --> 00:39:28,600
Speaker 5: Tomorrow is more of a long shot day, Yeah, I

777
00:39:28,640 --> 00:39:32,680
Speaker 5: get it. Yeah, if we make it, we'll see see

778
00:39:32,680 --> 00:39:33,160
Speaker 5: where we are.

779
00:39:33,200 --> 00:39:35,600
Speaker 2: That's the crazy thing is as long as the odds are,

780
00:39:36,200 --> 00:39:41,960
Speaker 2: it could hit. Yeah, absolutely good. Coming up next. This

781
00:39:42,040 --> 00:39:45,200
Speaker 2: is a common thought in football, but it hasn't been

782
00:39:45,239 --> 00:39:49,480
Speaker 2: applied to this team. Oh what's going on everybody? Divisional

783
00:39:49,640 --> 00:39:54,320
Speaker 2: round of the playoffs kick off today, very much looking

784
00:39:54,360 --> 00:39:57,520
Speaker 2: forward to it, the last game of the entire weekend,

785
00:39:58,360 --> 00:40:03,520
Speaker 2: Chiefs at the bill that's your nightcap. Tomorrow be the

786
00:40:03,560 --> 00:40:08,800
Speaker 2: first ever road playoff game for Patrick Mahomes. That's pretty crazy.

787
00:40:08,920 --> 00:40:13,000
Speaker 2: Fifteen postseason appearances, he's only played at home or a

788
00:40:13,040 --> 00:40:15,640
Speaker 2: neutral site in the Super Bowl, hadn't played on the road.

789
00:40:15,800 --> 00:40:20,080
Speaker 2: So the first road postseason game four Mahomes tomorrow against

790
00:40:20,120 --> 00:40:23,200
Speaker 2: the Bills. And one of the things that stands out

791
00:40:23,239 --> 00:40:28,680
Speaker 2: most to me, Guys about the matchup. You almost always hear, hey,

792
00:40:28,719 --> 00:40:32,560
Speaker 2: they're the champs until someone beats them, And I haven't

793
00:40:32,640 --> 00:40:37,560
Speaker 2: heard that about the Chiefs very much at all this postseason,

794
00:40:37,840 --> 00:40:40,760
Speaker 2: but it is true. They still are the champs until

795
00:40:40,800 --> 00:40:44,799
Speaker 2: someone beats them. But you look at the Bills. They're

796
00:40:44,840 --> 00:40:48,040
Speaker 2: on this what six game winning streak. They're quote unquote

797
00:40:48,080 --> 00:40:50,600
Speaker 2: the hottest team in the NFL in terms of a

798
00:40:50,600 --> 00:40:51,160
Speaker 2: winning streak.

799
00:40:51,239 --> 00:40:51,640
Speaker 3: They are.

800
00:40:52,160 --> 00:40:54,680
Speaker 2: When you read the fine print, you're like, Okay, they

801
00:40:54,719 --> 00:40:59,240
Speaker 2: beat the Chargers without Justin Herbert, without a head coach,

802
00:41:00,320 --> 00:41:03,360
Speaker 2: beat the Patriots even though they got three interceptions that game,

803
00:41:03,960 --> 00:41:07,120
Speaker 2: so I don't know how incredibly hot they are. And

804
00:41:07,440 --> 00:41:09,960
Speaker 2: you look up and the Chiefs are eleven and six

805
00:41:10,360 --> 00:41:13,799
Speaker 2: the Bills are eleven and six on the season, And

806
00:41:13,840 --> 00:41:16,440
Speaker 2: it's really interesting how we look at the Chiefs so

807
00:41:16,560 --> 00:41:21,040
Speaker 2: much differently where they're the Super Bowl defending champs and

808
00:41:21,080 --> 00:41:24,040
Speaker 2: they have this standard and we have these expectations. When

809
00:41:24,040 --> 00:41:26,840
Speaker 2: they don't meet them, sometimes we blow it out of proportion.

810
00:41:27,320 --> 00:41:29,560
Speaker 2: And with the Bills, we don't have the same expectations

811
00:41:29,560 --> 00:41:31,879
Speaker 2: for them. So when they rattle off a few wins

812
00:41:31,920 --> 00:41:35,200
Speaker 2: in a row, some people are just you know, drooling

813
00:41:35,239 --> 00:41:38,080
Speaker 2: at the mouth here. But both eleven and six football

814
00:41:38,080 --> 00:41:40,799
Speaker 2: teams and Mahomes on the road for the first time,

815
00:41:41,239 --> 00:41:43,840
Speaker 2: that's the first little entry point to this matchup.

816
00:41:44,080 --> 00:41:47,439
Speaker 3: Yeah. Now, I do agree with what everybody says about

817
00:41:47,480 --> 00:41:50,719
Speaker 3: the postseason. It is different. But when you look at

818
00:41:50,719 --> 00:41:53,080
Speaker 3: mahomes record on the road over the course of his

819
00:41:53,200 --> 00:41:56,080
Speaker 3: career or in any given season, he's a good road

820
00:41:56,120 --> 00:41:59,680
Speaker 3: quarterback that offense travels. And it's because he is a

821
00:42:00,280 --> 00:42:02,720
Speaker 3: just heads and shoulders above the rest of the field

822
00:42:03,120 --> 00:42:07,080
Speaker 3: playmaker and play extender. But so is Josh Allen. The

823
00:42:07,160 --> 00:42:10,960
Speaker 3: reason why so many times we've seen the Chiefs or

824
00:42:11,000 --> 00:42:15,880
Speaker 3: the Bills, especially when the Bills offensively are clicking, really

825
00:42:16,200 --> 00:42:17,920
Speaker 3: make a good.

826
00:42:17,719 --> 00:42:18,800
Speaker 2: Defense look bad.

827
00:42:19,160 --> 00:42:24,360
Speaker 3: Is because of both Mahomes and Allen's abilities to scramble

828
00:42:24,400 --> 00:42:28,239
Speaker 3: and extend plays. It really does mitigate the effectiveness of

829
00:42:28,280 --> 00:42:31,480
Speaker 3: a great defense, even because the pass rush could get

830
00:42:31,480 --> 00:42:34,239
Speaker 3: home and Josh Allen could look like he's dead to

831
00:42:34,320 --> 00:42:35,800
Speaker 3: rights if he sits in the pocket.

832
00:42:35,960 --> 00:42:36,600
Speaker 2: But he won't.

833
00:42:36,880 --> 00:42:39,520
Speaker 3: He won't. He'll extend the play. He'll go out to

834
00:42:39,560 --> 00:42:42,120
Speaker 3: his non throwing side, He'll go out to his right.

835
00:42:42,800 --> 00:42:45,960
Speaker 3: It doesn't matter. He'll find someone downfield, he'll find digs,

836
00:42:45,960 --> 00:42:48,200
Speaker 3: he'll find his tight end. He'll make the play with

837
00:42:48,280 --> 00:42:50,720
Speaker 3: his legs. Same with Mahomes. These are both not only

838
00:42:50,800 --> 00:42:55,440
Speaker 3: frequent but really talented scramblers, good decision makers on the

839
00:42:55,520 --> 00:42:59,359
Speaker 3: run and accurate passers on the run. And so when

840
00:42:59,360 --> 00:43:03,799
Speaker 3: you have two two players like Alan and Mahomes who

841
00:43:03,880 --> 00:43:06,960
Speaker 3: have become in the postseason one of the better matchups

842
00:43:07,000 --> 00:43:09,480
Speaker 3: to watch, it does kind of harken back to the

843
00:43:09,520 --> 00:43:13,160
Speaker 3: Peyton Manning Tom Brady days. Completely different styles of play,

844
00:43:13,360 --> 00:43:17,080
Speaker 3: you know, when you compare Alan Mahomes to Manning and Brady,

845
00:43:16,840 --> 00:43:19,400
Speaker 3: But that's the reason why there's so much juice because

846
00:43:19,440 --> 00:43:21,879
Speaker 3: what Manning and Brady could do to defense is pre

847
00:43:22,000 --> 00:43:25,759
Speaker 3: snap or diagnosing on the run as things changed after

848
00:43:25,800 --> 00:43:29,080
Speaker 3: the ball was snapped from the pocket. That's what Mahomes

849
00:43:29,160 --> 00:43:31,799
Speaker 3: and Alan are able to do when they scramble and

850
00:43:31,840 --> 00:43:34,759
Speaker 3: extend these plays from outside of the pocket when they

851
00:43:34,800 --> 00:43:37,320
Speaker 3: are in trouble, when things unfold, then there is pressure

852
00:43:37,360 --> 00:43:40,000
Speaker 3: in their face. So that's the reason why this game,

853
00:43:40,120 --> 00:43:44,560
Speaker 3: this matchup is so intriguing. But I don't know if

854
00:43:44,600 --> 00:43:47,480
Speaker 3: I have a good feel for who's going to emerge

855
00:43:47,560 --> 00:43:50,239
Speaker 3: winning this one. But I have a feeling a lot

856
00:43:50,239 --> 00:43:52,880
Speaker 3: of overs are gonna hit tomorrow night as a result

857
00:43:52,920 --> 00:43:53,960
Speaker 3: of this game being played.

858
00:43:54,960 --> 00:43:58,400
Speaker 4: You mean points overs or props overs both. Wow.

859
00:43:59,360 --> 00:44:01,640
Speaker 5: I kind of think I'm kind of leaning under here

860
00:44:01,960 --> 00:44:04,319
Speaker 5: in terms of the game total. But I think a

861
00:44:04,320 --> 00:44:06,480
Speaker 5: lot of that is just because of the familiarity of

862
00:44:06,520 --> 00:44:09,319
Speaker 5: these teams. This is the seventh time they've played each

863
00:44:09,320 --> 00:44:12,920
Speaker 5: other in four years. I mean, there are no surprises anymore.

864
00:44:14,480 --> 00:44:16,759
Speaker 5: Game total wise, I think forty five and a half

865
00:44:16,800 --> 00:44:18,600
Speaker 5: is a fair number. If we see a forty six,

866
00:44:18,680 --> 00:44:20,640
Speaker 5: I'm gonna be slamming the under. I think forty five

867
00:44:20,680 --> 00:44:23,120
Speaker 5: and a half. I still feel okay about the under.

868
00:44:23,520 --> 00:44:26,239
Speaker 5: But to your point, Rich, the one over that I

869
00:44:26,360 --> 00:44:28,840
Speaker 5: really like in this game, and you can apply it

870
00:44:28,880 --> 00:44:32,920
Speaker 5: to both quarterbacks is the rushing attempts PROP and for me,

871
00:44:33,120 --> 00:44:36,160
Speaker 5: with Josh Allen, it's like a must bet anytime they're

872
00:44:36,200 --> 00:44:39,320
Speaker 5: in a big primetime game. And we've seen the shift

873
00:44:39,480 --> 00:44:41,960
Speaker 5: a lot since Joe Brady took over as the offensive

874
00:44:42,000 --> 00:44:46,120
Speaker 5: coordinator for Ken Dorsey midseason, more designed runs and in

875
00:44:46,160 --> 00:44:50,240
Speaker 5: those high profile games it's Josh Allen and Patrick Mahomes

876
00:44:50,280 --> 00:44:53,640
Speaker 5: Obviously not as much of a runner as Alan is,

877
00:44:53,680 --> 00:44:56,120
Speaker 5: but I think the timeliness of those runs is what

878
00:44:56,160 --> 00:44:59,160
Speaker 5: makes Mahomes so special in that category. Mahomes is at

879
00:44:59,160 --> 00:45:01,360
Speaker 5: four and a half at eight and a half on

880
00:45:01,400 --> 00:45:05,040
Speaker 5: their rushing attempts PROP, I think those are prop overs

881
00:45:05,040 --> 00:45:08,319
Speaker 5: that I would consider now. I think the biggest, the

882
00:45:08,360 --> 00:45:10,920
Speaker 5: most important factor of this game for me, has nothing

883
00:45:10,920 --> 00:45:12,520
Speaker 5: to do with any matchup on the field.

884
00:45:12,800 --> 00:45:13,680
Speaker 4: It's rest.

885
00:45:14,280 --> 00:45:16,719
Speaker 5: I think the Chiefs are in a huge advantage in

886
00:45:16,719 --> 00:45:20,160
Speaker 5: this game. They are plus two in the net rest

887
00:45:20,200 --> 00:45:23,160
Speaker 5: advantage in terms of a playoff game, that is very

888
00:45:23,239 --> 00:45:24,719
Speaker 5: rare in the postseason.

889
00:45:24,920 --> 00:45:28,200
Speaker 4: The Chiefs played Saturday the Bills played Monday.

890
00:45:29,160 --> 00:45:32,439
Speaker 5: I think that is an important factor when you also

891
00:45:32,800 --> 00:45:35,239
Speaker 5: talk about the Bills defensive injuries. Now, a lot of

892
00:45:35,280 --> 00:45:40,120
Speaker 5: the guys are trending in a positive direction. Specter, Benford,

893
00:45:40,200 --> 00:45:44,440
Speaker 5: Rapper out, those kind of are role players, backups, the starters, dots,

894
00:45:44,440 --> 00:45:46,680
Speaker 5: and the linebackers. Got the highest Pro Football focused great

895
00:45:46,719 --> 00:45:49,560
Speaker 5: of any player on the Bills defense. He's trending towards

896
00:45:49,560 --> 00:45:53,080
Speaker 5: playing Rasseull Douglass also a good cover corner, trending towards

897
00:45:53,120 --> 00:45:56,440
Speaker 5: playing Toro Bernard their middle linebacker. They're leading tackler trending

898
00:45:56,440 --> 00:45:59,440
Speaker 5: towards playing Toron Johnson starting corner. Concussion protocol that one,

899
00:45:59,480 --> 00:46:02,200
Speaker 5: I think is a little bit dicey. But if you

900
00:46:02,239 --> 00:46:04,200
Speaker 5: go back to the last game, right these teams played

901
00:46:04,200 --> 00:46:06,960
Speaker 5: a few weeks ago. In that game, it was low scoring.

902
00:46:07,440 --> 00:46:10,640
Speaker 5: The Bills offense really struggled. That was the Kadarius Tony

903
00:46:10,680 --> 00:46:13,200
Speaker 5: off sides game. But the reason why that stands out

904
00:46:13,239 --> 00:46:16,080
Speaker 5: to me, guys, the Bills were coming off the by

905
00:46:16,440 --> 00:46:19,279
Speaker 5: in that game. They had two weeks to prepare for

906
00:46:19,360 --> 00:46:23,240
Speaker 5: the Chiefs defense, and Spags kind of chewed them up. Meanwhile,

907
00:46:23,280 --> 00:46:27,280
Speaker 5: the Chiefs in that game Sunday Night, the prior Sunday

908
00:46:27,320 --> 00:46:30,120
Speaker 5: had to play on the road prime time at Lambeau.

909
00:46:30,400 --> 00:46:31,880
Speaker 4: Then they had to come back home and play the

910
00:46:31,880 --> 00:46:32,959
Speaker 4: Bills the following week.

911
00:46:33,040 --> 00:46:36,120
Speaker 5: So the rest advantage for Kansas City was at a

912
00:46:36,120 --> 00:46:38,720
Speaker 5: severe disadvantage in that last game, and they still almost

913
00:46:38,800 --> 00:46:39,120
Speaker 5: won it.

914
00:46:39,640 --> 00:46:41,480
Speaker 4: Now they get two extra days.

915
00:46:42,160 --> 00:46:44,080
Speaker 5: I just think Spags is going to be ready for

916
00:46:44,120 --> 00:46:46,560
Speaker 5: this defense, and I think the Bills defense is going

917
00:46:46,600 --> 00:46:47,719
Speaker 5: to be up for the challenge too.

918
00:46:47,719 --> 00:46:50,080
Speaker 4: And I think the Chiefs offense, you know, it's been

919
00:46:50,160 --> 00:46:50,440
Speaker 4: up and.

920
00:46:50,400 --> 00:46:52,719
Speaker 5: Down this year, so that's why I kind of think

921
00:46:52,760 --> 00:46:54,959
Speaker 5: under it was my first look in this game.

922
00:46:55,440 --> 00:47:01,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm curious about us Stefan Diggs because yeah, uh,

923
00:47:01,000 --> 00:47:03,600
Speaker 2: the Chiefs have done a really good job against him.

924
00:47:03,880 --> 00:47:08,000
Speaker 2: And you also think about Gabe Davis, which he's completely

925
00:47:08,040 --> 00:47:11,080
Speaker 2: hit or miss, but Gabe Davis will never forget in

926
00:47:11,160 --> 00:47:14,960
Speaker 2: that thirteen seconds game against the Chiefs when he went

927
00:47:15,200 --> 00:47:18,600
Speaker 2: freaking ballistic. Yep. And he's out for a second straight

928
00:47:18,640 --> 00:47:22,120
Speaker 2: week with the knee injury. So that bears watching too.

929
00:47:22,400 --> 00:47:25,880
Speaker 2: If Stefan Diggs is held in check, it's gonna be

930
00:47:25,920 --> 00:47:28,319
Speaker 2: a lot of James Cook out of the backfield trying

931
00:47:28,320 --> 00:47:30,560
Speaker 2: to throw it to him in the regular season matchup.

932
00:47:30,600 --> 00:47:33,160
Speaker 2: He had five catches for eighty three yards out of

933
00:47:33,160 --> 00:47:36,319
Speaker 2: the backfield. And then it's gonna be one of these

934
00:47:36,440 --> 00:47:41,160
Speaker 2: random guys stepping up. It was Khalil Shakur who killed

935
00:47:41,160 --> 00:47:44,040
Speaker 2: my Josh Allen under prop bet last week.

936
00:47:44,200 --> 00:47:46,600
Speaker 4: Oh that what killed it?

937
00:47:46,719 --> 00:47:51,120
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, that was Yes, Yeah, it was a

938
00:47:51,200 --> 00:47:54,920
Speaker 2: seventeen yard touchdown grab and that was the last passing

939
00:47:54,920 --> 00:47:56,440
Speaker 2: play for the rules of the game.

940
00:47:56,520 --> 00:48:01,239
Speaker 3: That was really would have been through it.

941
00:48:01,680 --> 00:48:04,600
Speaker 2: But would it be could it be Shakur? It's gonna

942
00:48:04,600 --> 00:48:07,560
Speaker 2: be somebody else stepping up again if Diggs is held

943
00:48:07,600 --> 00:48:10,479
Speaker 2: relatively in check. We talk about some of the top

944
00:48:10,520 --> 00:48:15,400
Speaker 2: cornerback play. We never mention luxurious need. He's a really,

945
00:48:15,600 --> 00:48:16,840
Speaker 2: really good corner.

946
00:48:17,000 --> 00:48:19,680
Speaker 4: He's gonna shadow digs the whole game. Guys. Yeah, that's

947
00:48:20,360 --> 00:48:21,080
Speaker 4: the matchup, right.

948
00:48:21,080 --> 00:48:24,239
Speaker 2: There's not a he's not a young guy, he's not

949
00:48:24,280 --> 00:48:27,160
Speaker 2: a big name guy, but he plays big and I

950
00:48:27,200 --> 00:48:30,319
Speaker 2: think he's gonna be huge in this game. And we

951
00:48:30,480 --> 00:48:32,319
Speaker 2: just go back Rich. You hit on this the Josh

952
00:48:32,400 --> 00:48:36,879
Speaker 2: Allen experience. He's gonna have some great plays, most likely,

953
00:48:37,239 --> 00:48:40,799
Speaker 2: and the question is how many bad plays does he

954
00:48:40,920 --> 00:48:44,080
Speaker 2: make and how costly are they because he led the

955
00:48:44,160 --> 00:48:47,399
Speaker 2: league in turnovers this season. You guys both mentioned he's

956
00:48:47,480 --> 00:48:50,000
Speaker 2: using his legs a lot more. Do we see a fumble?

957
00:48:50,400 --> 00:48:53,800
Speaker 2: Is this a key interception? Is this a yolo decision?

958
00:48:54,239 --> 00:48:56,960
Speaker 2: Can he play a clean game? I don't think it's

959
00:48:57,000 --> 00:49:00,279
Speaker 2: gonna be completely clean, But the question is when he

960
00:49:00,320 --> 00:49:04,000
Speaker 2: does make a bad decision or there's a turnover, how

961
00:49:04,080 --> 00:49:07,880
Speaker 2: bad is it. Is this like a hail Mary interception

962
00:49:08,000 --> 00:49:10,840
Speaker 2: before halftime that doesn't hurt you at all, or is

963
00:49:10,880 --> 00:49:13,560
Speaker 2: this a key turnover in the second half that really

964
00:49:13,600 --> 00:49:16,200
Speaker 2: really hurts your chances. That's something to watch for sure.

965
00:49:16,440 --> 00:49:20,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, for sure is and you know, to be perfectly frank,

966
00:49:20,760 --> 00:49:25,000
Speaker 3: same with Mahomes because we have short memory as a

967
00:49:25,040 --> 00:49:29,200
Speaker 3: result of what recency bias tells us, and there haven't

968
00:49:29,239 --> 00:49:34,080
Speaker 3: been as many standout moments for Mahomes really struggling in spots,

969
00:49:34,520 --> 00:49:38,240
Speaker 3: but overall it's been this offense has been on shaky legs.

970
00:49:38,280 --> 00:49:41,080
Speaker 3: They really pulled it together against the Dolphins in the

971
00:49:41,440 --> 00:49:44,520
Speaker 3: wildcard round, but when you think about the Dolphins against

972
00:49:44,560 --> 00:49:48,960
Speaker 3: better teams, they've folded up shop. They've really struggled. So

973
00:49:49,200 --> 00:49:51,840
Speaker 3: I don't know if I necessarily trust what I saw

974
00:49:52,360 --> 00:49:55,160
Speaker 3: last game with the Chiefs. I think it's been a

975
00:49:55,320 --> 00:49:57,840
Speaker 3: work that's built over the course of a season. You

976
00:49:57,840 --> 00:50:01,440
Speaker 3: could argue very similar points with the Bills, However, in

977
00:50:01,520 --> 00:50:04,799
Speaker 3: terms of momentum, in terms of feeling better about a

978
00:50:04,840 --> 00:50:08,320
Speaker 3: team heading into a matchup. I look at the Bills

979
00:50:08,360 --> 00:50:12,040
Speaker 3: as one of these teams where it's been a tough season. Right,

980
00:50:12,520 --> 00:50:16,040
Speaker 3: You've had to fire an offensive coordinator. Josh Allen I

981
00:50:16,120 --> 00:50:19,919
Speaker 3: think bore the brunt of that personally and emotionally. When

982
00:50:19,920 --> 00:50:22,800
Speaker 3: he spoke to the media, he was really disappointed in himself.

983
00:50:23,200 --> 00:50:27,120
Speaker 3: He felt like it was his responsibility that Ken Dorsey

984
00:50:27,200 --> 00:50:30,640
Speaker 3: got the acts. And then you look at the offense

985
00:50:30,680 --> 00:50:33,080
Speaker 3: and how it's changed since Joe Brady has came in.

986
00:50:33,760 --> 00:50:36,719
Speaker 3: The offense doesn't look all that different. There have been

987
00:50:36,840 --> 00:50:40,680
Speaker 3: subtle changes. It's really been Josh Allen's play. It feels

988
00:50:40,719 --> 00:50:44,279
Speaker 3: like he's out here on a warpath to prove everything.

989
00:50:44,840 --> 00:50:47,040
Speaker 3: And not to say that the Chiefs don't have a

990
00:50:47,080 --> 00:50:49,279
Speaker 3: lot to prove. They do, and not to say that

991
00:50:49,440 --> 00:50:52,560
Speaker 3: they don't have more experience. They certainly do, but there

992
00:50:53,600 --> 00:50:57,560
Speaker 3: is an emotional deficit I feel in Kansas City versus

993
00:50:57,600 --> 00:51:00,760
Speaker 3: what I look at when I see the Buffalo Bills,

994
00:50:59,760 --> 00:51:04,040
Speaker 3: there's plenty to play for on both sides. But if

995
00:51:04,040 --> 00:51:06,640
Speaker 3: you want to give the edge in the emotional quotient,

996
00:51:07,040 --> 00:51:09,360
Speaker 3: I'm gonna I'm gonna lean Buffalo there. And plus you

997
00:51:09,400 --> 00:51:11,720
Speaker 3: get to face the Bills or excuse me, the Chiefs

998
00:51:12,080 --> 00:51:15,000
Speaker 3: in your home territory at high Mark. That place is

999
00:51:15,040 --> 00:51:18,680
Speaker 3: gonna be just juiced. It's gonna be an unbelievable environment

1000
00:51:18,760 --> 00:51:19,319
Speaker 3: Sunday night.

1001
00:51:19,560 --> 00:51:19,759
Speaker 4: Yeah.

1002
00:51:19,760 --> 00:51:21,560
Speaker 5: I think that's the best thing that the Bills have

1003
00:51:21,640 --> 00:51:23,200
Speaker 5: going for them in this game is the fact that

1004
00:51:23,239 --> 00:51:25,360
Speaker 5: they get this game at home, whereas the majority of

1005
00:51:25,360 --> 00:51:27,439
Speaker 5: the games, in fact, all of the games they've played

1006
00:51:27,440 --> 00:51:30,239
Speaker 5: against the Chiefs have either been on the road or

1007
00:51:30,280 --> 00:51:31,319
Speaker 5: the one home game was.

1008
00:51:31,239 --> 00:51:32,880
Speaker 4: With no fans in the twenty twenty season.

1009
00:51:32,920 --> 00:51:35,040
Speaker 5: So this is the first time they get the Chiefs

1010
00:51:35,040 --> 00:51:39,520
Speaker 5: at home, you know, full throat with the crowd. But

1011
00:51:39,920 --> 00:51:41,840
Speaker 5: you made a good point rich about the Chiefs offense, Like,

1012
00:51:41,840 --> 00:51:43,879
Speaker 5: we're gonna see that score line last week twenty six seven.

1013
00:51:43,920 --> 00:51:45,520
Speaker 5: We're gonna be like, oh, Chiefs offense is back, or

1014
00:51:45,520 --> 00:51:49,840
Speaker 5: she Rice is fantastic. E Miami was decimated on defense.

1015
00:51:49,880 --> 00:51:52,840
Speaker 5: It was frigid temperatures, nobody wanted to tackle in that weather,

1016
00:51:53,160 --> 00:51:55,400
Speaker 5: and of the twelve teams in the Wildcard round, the

1017
00:51:55,480 --> 00:51:58,360
Speaker 5: Chiefs offense last week was eighth in success rate and

1018
00:51:58,480 --> 00:52:04,600
Speaker 5: sixth in efficiency. Not exactly this like pristine performance. I

1019
00:52:04,640 --> 00:52:07,800
Speaker 5: do think Mahomes is I mean, come on, guys, it's

1020
00:52:07,920 --> 00:52:10,959
Speaker 5: Patrick Mahomes in a playoff game and we're catching points.

1021
00:52:11,280 --> 00:52:14,040
Speaker 5: I think that's the only way that I can bet

1022
00:52:14,080 --> 00:52:17,640
Speaker 5: this game. I understand the Bills, you know, kind of

1023
00:52:17,640 --> 00:52:21,560
Speaker 5: have a little bit of momentum, and I totally understand

1024
00:52:21,640 --> 00:52:25,560
Speaker 5: that the offense for Buffalo, I think is gonna be

1025
00:52:25,640 --> 00:52:27,839
Speaker 5: contingent on the running game, like that's been their bread

1026
00:52:27,880 --> 00:52:29,840
Speaker 5: and butter the last few weeks. They're third and adjusted

1027
00:52:29,880 --> 00:52:32,200
Speaker 5: lineyards created. They're basically a top five to zero line

1028
00:52:32,200 --> 00:52:34,880
Speaker 5: this year, and they're a top ten rushing offense this season.

1029
00:52:35,120 --> 00:52:38,239
Speaker 5: They do employ this kind of man blocking scheme. Rich

1030
00:52:38,280 --> 00:52:40,440
Speaker 5: maybe you can kind of, you know, shed some light

1031
00:52:40,480 --> 00:52:42,240
Speaker 5: on this, but that is a scheme that the Chiefs

1032
00:52:42,239 --> 00:52:42,920
Speaker 5: have struggled with.

1033
00:52:43,000 --> 00:52:44,240
Speaker 4: Right The Chiefs defense great.

1034
00:52:44,040 --> 00:52:47,240
Speaker 5: Against the past, not as good against the run this year,

1035
00:52:47,360 --> 00:52:50,840
Speaker 5: and especially that power man on man blocking scheme.

1036
00:52:51,040 --> 00:52:52,560
Speaker 4: They're bottom ten stopping that.

1037
00:52:52,640 --> 00:52:55,359
Speaker 5: In the efficiency categories this year, So I think that's

1038
00:52:55,360 --> 00:52:59,600
Speaker 5: where Buffalo starts. And both defenses, I do think are

1039
00:52:59,640 --> 00:53:02,080
Speaker 5: gonna be the keys here. And I think the Chiefs

1040
00:53:02,160 --> 00:53:04,520
Speaker 5: may be a little bit better on defense because they

1041
00:53:04,520 --> 00:53:06,920
Speaker 5: do have the great equalizer in the back. They can

1042
00:53:06,960 --> 00:53:09,560
Speaker 5: put Snead on digs and say go ahead, lock that down.

1043
00:53:09,920 --> 00:53:12,080
Speaker 5: They can take Shakir out of the game because they've

1044
00:53:12,120 --> 00:53:14,960
Speaker 5: got a really good slot corner in McDuffie. Can they

1045
00:53:15,040 --> 00:53:17,279
Speaker 5: stop the run? That's the question I have about the

1046
00:53:17,360 --> 00:53:19,680
Speaker 5: Chiefs defense, if they can hold up in the running game.

1047
00:53:20,040 --> 00:53:22,319
Speaker 5: I think Kansas City's defense is the better unit here.

1048
00:53:22,600 --> 00:53:25,000
Speaker 5: I think they've got the better quarterback. I'm one hundred

1049
00:53:25,000 --> 00:53:27,359
Speaker 5: percent sure they've got the better head coach. The only

1050
00:53:27,400 --> 00:53:30,120
Speaker 5: thing that scares me is Matt Naggy as the offensive coordinator,

1051
00:53:30,239 --> 00:53:32,600
Speaker 5: Like it's clear that the team does not trust him.

1052
00:53:32,640 --> 00:53:35,399
Speaker 5: So I do think the Chiefs have some edges, but

1053
00:53:35,480 --> 00:53:36,879
Speaker 5: the Bills have some intangibles.

1054
00:53:36,880 --> 00:53:38,480
Speaker 4: And this is gonna be one heck of a game,

1055
00:53:38,520 --> 00:53:39,080
Speaker 4: it really is.

1056
00:53:39,640 --> 00:53:42,759
Speaker 2: Well, the Chiefs definitely have the better quarterback, Yeah they do,

1057
00:53:43,760 --> 00:53:46,200
Speaker 2: and they do have the better defense. This is the

1058
00:53:46,320 --> 00:53:48,960
Speaker 2: thing we've focused so much of our attention on the

1059
00:53:49,000 --> 00:53:51,399
Speaker 2: Chiefs offense, and I get it, it's Mahomes and what's

1060
00:53:51,440 --> 00:53:54,840
Speaker 2: going on with the drops and this, but if you

1061
00:53:54,880 --> 00:53:58,080
Speaker 2: look at the defense, they've allowed twenty or fewer points

1062
00:53:58,120 --> 00:54:01,040
Speaker 2: in six straight games. Think about in the NFL, twenty

1063
00:54:01,120 --> 00:54:03,359
Speaker 2: or fewer is a big deal playoff game. Last week

1064
00:54:03,360 --> 00:54:05,719
Speaker 2: against the high flying Dolphins, they could do nothing. A

1065
00:54:05,800 --> 00:54:08,160
Speaker 2: lot of that was credited to the Chiefs defense, not

1066
00:54:08,320 --> 00:54:10,600
Speaker 2: just the bad weather, even though that factored in, but

1067
00:54:10,640 --> 00:54:14,239
Speaker 2: also this the Chiefs. They've surrendered more than twenty one

1068
00:54:14,320 --> 00:54:18,120
Speaker 2: points just twice all season. Think about that, more than

1069
00:54:18,160 --> 00:54:21,160
Speaker 2: twenty one just two times. And it was at Denver,

1070
00:54:21,239 --> 00:54:23,919
Speaker 2: it was at Green Bay. That's it all season long.

1071
00:54:24,040 --> 00:54:27,440
Speaker 2: So they've got a legitimate defense. And while we've been

1072
00:54:27,520 --> 00:54:30,480
Speaker 2: focusing on Mahomes and the offense, like what's going on

1073
00:54:30,560 --> 00:54:34,560
Speaker 2: over here, I think largely we've overlooked the defense more

1074
00:54:34,600 --> 00:54:37,440
Speaker 2: than we should because they've been special throughout the season.

1108
00:56:28,440 --> 00:56:32,040
Speaker 4: Horizon? I think the Horizon League is my favorite league

1109
00:56:32,040 --> 00:56:33,320
Speaker 4: to bet. In college basketball?

1110
00:56:33,840 --> 00:56:38,440
Speaker 2: What would be number two? Mountain West Mountain, what's the

1111
00:56:38,520 --> 00:56:41,400
Speaker 2: least favorite? Yeah, well yeah, Big Mac.

1112
00:56:41,560 --> 00:56:44,480
Speaker 5: Oh wow, oh yeah yeah, the Big Ten's up there. Actually,

1113
00:56:44,560 --> 00:56:48,080
Speaker 5: no SEC. It's too volatile, it's too up and down.

1114
00:56:48,800 --> 00:56:50,040
Speaker 4: I don't like I don't like it.

1115
00:56:50,040 --> 00:56:52,319
Speaker 2: It's it's not my f about LSU. The other day,

1116
00:56:52,560 --> 00:56:56,120
Speaker 2: you know, LSU stunk against ranked teams and then they

1117
00:56:56,160 --> 00:56:58,040
Speaker 2: could hardly score at the beginning of the game, and

1118
00:56:58,040 --> 00:56:59,719
Speaker 2: they're like, you know, I'll just kick the offense in

1119
00:56:59,760 --> 00:56:59,960
Speaker 2: the game.

1120
00:57:00,200 --> 00:57:00,480
Speaker 3: Why not.

1121
00:57:00,600 --> 00:57:03,200
Speaker 5: Let's just seems like any team can beat anyone on

1122
00:57:03,239 --> 00:57:05,080
Speaker 5: any given night. I don't feel that way about a

1123
00:57:05,080 --> 00:57:06,000
Speaker 5: lot of the other leagues.

1124
00:57:06,400 --> 00:57:08,920
Speaker 3: One thing I learned is you do not go Horns

1125
00:57:09,000 --> 00:57:13,399
Speaker 3: down against Texas. Good Lord, do not do it. He will,

1126
00:57:13,840 --> 00:57:18,000
Speaker 3: don't he what's what's uh? What's the long Horns basketball?

1127
00:57:19,560 --> 00:57:19,720
Speaker 2: Oh?

1128
00:57:19,800 --> 00:57:22,760
Speaker 4: Rodney Tarrell record they've been okay? Oh yeah? The head

1129
00:57:22,760 --> 00:57:26,080
Speaker 4: coach Rodney yeah Beard, Oh yeah.

1130
00:57:25,920 --> 00:57:28,919
Speaker 3: He was. He was really upset with the UCF nights

1131
00:57:28,960 --> 00:57:31,200
Speaker 3: after getting mopped in the second half. He was like,

1132
00:57:31,240 --> 00:57:34,160
Speaker 3: they were just classless with the Horns down. Celebration guys,

1133
00:57:34,160 --> 00:57:37,400
Speaker 3: I mean, really clean it up, clean deal with it. Yeah.

1134
00:57:37,480 --> 00:57:38,800
Speaker 4: Texas struggling right now.

1135
00:57:38,920 --> 00:57:43,400
Speaker 2: Mm hmm yeah, yeah, okay, all right. I'm curious what

1136
00:57:43,480 --> 00:57:46,520
Speaker 2: Seamus will say when we get to h He's big

1137
00:57:46,560 --> 00:57:49,120
Speaker 2: on college basketball. He's definitely a big dude as far

1138
00:57:49,160 --> 00:57:52,320
Speaker 2: as that goes. But I want to pick his NFL brain.

1139
00:57:52,640 --> 00:57:55,520
Speaker 2: You know, there's four games on tap, and he nailed

1140
00:57:55,520 --> 00:57:58,680
Speaker 2: it last week, right, he was all over the Texans.

1141
00:57:59,120 --> 00:58:01,040
Speaker 4: And I was not all over it. I was all

1142
00:58:01,120 --> 00:58:01,480
Speaker 4: under it.

1143
00:58:02,240 --> 00:58:02,520
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1144
00:58:02,680 --> 00:58:05,280
Speaker 4: I was Wlaco for Flacco last week, So was I.

1145
00:58:05,640 --> 00:58:05,800
Speaker 5: Yeah.

1146
00:58:06,120 --> 00:58:08,280
Speaker 3: I mean if you would have asked me last week,

1147
00:58:08,600 --> 00:58:10,520
Speaker 3: like what's thee cilia on the Browns. I'm pretty sure

1148
00:58:10,560 --> 00:58:13,680
Speaker 3: I said this on live publication, Yeah, broadcast. I was

1149
00:58:13,680 --> 00:58:16,640
Speaker 3: saying things like super Bowl, yep, super Bowl champs even,

1150
00:58:16,880 --> 00:58:20,040
Speaker 3: I mean, and then you see Flacco. Oh goodness, gracious,

1151
00:58:20,120 --> 00:58:24,400
Speaker 3: those two second half interceptions were just not ideal.

1152
00:58:24,560 --> 00:58:25,560
Speaker 4: I blame the defense.

1153
00:58:26,600 --> 00:58:30,280
Speaker 5: I really thought the Browns defense just they just kind

1154
00:58:30,280 --> 00:58:32,720
Speaker 5: of fell apart, like they kind of saw the right.

1155
00:58:32,760 --> 00:58:37,440
Speaker 2: They did, they absolutely did. And Flacco, man, he made

1156
00:58:37,520 --> 00:58:40,560
Speaker 2: things so much worse. Yeah, where that's the thing. It was,

1157
00:58:40,760 --> 00:58:45,240
Speaker 2: first down, the Browns are driving, They're down by ten points,

1158
00:58:45,840 --> 00:58:50,760
Speaker 2: and Flacco just like blindly chucked it up for grabs

1159
00:58:50,760 --> 00:58:53,080
Speaker 2: and it was a pick six and then a pick

1160
00:58:53,120 --> 00:58:56,680
Speaker 2: six the next drive. All so that was it couldn't run.

1161
00:58:56,560 --> 00:58:57,440
Speaker 4: The ball either, right.

1162
00:58:57,480 --> 00:58:59,959
Speaker 5: I think that's the difference with Baltimore today, the brown

1163
00:59:00,000 --> 00:59:01,080
Speaker 5: he owns no line.

1164
00:59:01,080 --> 00:59:04,480
Speaker 4: Everyone was hurt. You know, Chubs out. The Ravens are

1165
00:59:04,480 --> 00:59:05,080
Speaker 4: going to run it.

1166
00:59:05,040 --> 00:59:09,320
Speaker 5: Today, Arckson's on the Texans defense. That's the difference I

1167
00:59:09,320 --> 00:59:12,600
Speaker 5: think with this game then the last week's game, Well.

1168
00:59:12,560 --> 00:59:15,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're going to run it. And then also when

1169
00:59:15,280 --> 00:59:18,040
Speaker 3: you when you look about when you look about how

1170
00:59:18,120 --> 00:59:23,200
Speaker 3: Lamar Jackson does his business against zone defense defenses, especially

1171
00:59:23,720 --> 00:59:28,400
Speaker 3: Cover three, Cover four, those quarters type defenses. He really

1172
00:59:28,520 --> 00:59:31,320
Speaker 3: that's what he's going to have a high propensity of

1173
00:59:31,400 --> 00:59:35,600
Speaker 3: success against because he loves throwing underneath you know, those

1174
00:59:35,680 --> 00:59:39,360
Speaker 3: high percentage throws underneath the shell of the defense. You know,

1175
00:59:39,440 --> 00:59:42,880
Speaker 3: he's not the type of player who win tested against

1176
00:59:42,920 --> 00:59:46,520
Speaker 3: man defense. He's going to really like eat from the pocket.

1177
00:59:46,600 --> 00:59:49,000
Speaker 3: When he extends plays, he has more success because it

1178
00:59:49,040 --> 00:59:52,439
Speaker 3: gives you know, Odell Beckham Junior or likely or any

1179
00:59:52,480 --> 00:59:55,440
Speaker 3: of these other receivers have time to uncover and he

1180
00:59:55,480 --> 00:59:57,560
Speaker 3: can get the ball to them. But from the pocket,

1181
00:59:57,880 --> 00:59:59,560
Speaker 3: if you want Lamar to stay in the pocket and

1182
00:59:59,600 --> 01:00:03,919
Speaker 3: operate against these these you know three high or or

1183
01:00:04,040 --> 01:00:06,600
Speaker 3: cover four sets, he's gonna have more success that way.

1184
01:00:06,800 --> 01:00:10,720
Speaker 5: Yeah. So the Texans they are good against the run

1185
01:00:10,760 --> 01:00:15,840
Speaker 5: this year, but they're worse against inside runs than outside runs.

1186
01:00:16,120 --> 01:00:18,120
Speaker 4: And the Browns are an outside zone team.

1187
01:00:18,280 --> 01:00:20,080
Speaker 5: Like that's what Chubb does, Like that's his that's the

1188
01:00:20,080 --> 01:00:23,840
Speaker 5: whole scheme, right, It's the Stefanski Shanahan you know zone scheme,

1189
01:00:24,360 --> 01:00:27,439
Speaker 5: whereas the Ravens are more of a like pounded down

1190
01:00:27,480 --> 01:00:30,120
Speaker 5: your throat kind of scheme, and I think that's where

1191
01:00:30,120 --> 01:00:32,160
Speaker 5: the Texans might struggle a little bit. Right Like last

1192
01:00:32,160 --> 01:00:35,320
Speaker 5: week we saw Anderson come back and he played well.

1193
01:00:35,760 --> 01:00:38,520
Speaker 5: Grenard got banged up after fifteen snaps. You remember saw

1194
01:00:38,560 --> 01:00:41,120
Speaker 5: Grenard like slam on the sideline, So I don't know

1195
01:00:41,160 --> 01:00:43,880
Speaker 5: what his status will be this week. That that's why

1196
01:00:43,920 --> 01:00:46,720
Speaker 5: I think the tight end props would likely make make

1197
01:00:46,800 --> 01:00:47,520
Speaker 5: a ton of sense.

1198
01:00:49,040 --> 01:00:51,480
Speaker 4: Tougher, much tougher offensive line this week.

1199
01:00:51,280 --> 01:00:53,600
Speaker 5: Too, that the Texans are gonna face than than the

1200
01:00:53,640 --> 01:00:56,280
Speaker 5: Browns and guys. I really think, I mean this, this

1201
01:00:56,400 --> 01:00:58,880
Speaker 5: Ravens offense, man like it. I've heard a lot this

1202
01:00:58,920 --> 01:01:01,600
Speaker 5: week about the Lamars off and you know it, you

1203
01:01:01,640 --> 01:01:05,280
Speaker 5: know playoffs, and this is a very different offense than

1204
01:01:05,320 --> 01:01:07,000
Speaker 5: it was three years ago, the last time the Ravens

1205
01:01:07,040 --> 01:01:10,600
Speaker 5: were in the playoffs. Todd munkin like he made Georgia

1206
01:01:10,640 --> 01:01:12,680
Speaker 5: look like the greatest show on turf last year. And

1207
01:01:12,720 --> 01:01:14,640
Speaker 5: I know they had a ton of weapons, but this

1208
01:01:14,720 --> 01:01:18,560
Speaker 5: is a really deep complement of weapons. I mean, Odell

1209
01:01:18,640 --> 01:01:21,080
Speaker 5: and Zay Flowers is top five in the NFL and

1210
01:01:21,120 --> 01:01:24,360
Speaker 5: miss tackles forced this year, like he is an elite receiver,

1211
01:01:24,760 --> 01:01:26,960
Speaker 5: and the Texans really struggle in that category. They've missed

1212
01:01:26,960 --> 01:01:28,840
Speaker 5: one hundred and thirty tackles this year and most of

1213
01:01:28,880 --> 01:01:31,440
Speaker 5: them come in the secondary. So I think this Ravens

1214
01:01:31,440 --> 01:01:33,320
Speaker 5: offense gonna have a much better day than maybe the

1215
01:01:34,000 --> 01:01:37,280
Speaker 5: narrative says around Lamar Jackson and can the Texans stop

1216
01:01:37,320 --> 01:01:39,760
Speaker 5: the run straight ahead, straight forward, pound it down your throat.

1217
01:01:39,800 --> 01:01:41,200
Speaker 4: If they can, they've got a shot.

1218
01:01:41,280 --> 01:01:43,439
Speaker 5: But if they can't, I mean, I think it's gonna

1219
01:01:43,440 --> 01:01:44,920
Speaker 5: be a good day for this Ravens offense.

1220
01:01:45,040 --> 01:01:46,960
Speaker 2: Okay, so I've got some good news. I've got some

1221
01:01:47,000 --> 01:01:47,920
Speaker 2: bad news for you.

1222
01:01:48,200 --> 01:01:48,640
Speaker 3: Go ahead.

1223
01:01:49,400 --> 01:01:53,440
Speaker 2: I'm gonna start with the bad No Seamus McGee.

1224
01:01:53,200 --> 01:01:56,760
Speaker 5: Oh well, he's on a desert island somewhere after the

1225
01:01:56,760 --> 01:02:00,680
Speaker 5: Texans win last week, charts bar grafts.

1226
01:02:00,680 --> 01:02:03,720
Speaker 2: He's studying the Horizon League as we speak right now,

1227
01:02:03,840 --> 01:02:08,160
Speaker 2: is most likely what's happening. The good news here, I'm

1228
01:02:08,160 --> 01:02:11,680
Speaker 2: gonna more than make up for this with some Isaac Loewen,

1229
01:02:12,040 --> 01:02:16,360
Speaker 2: whoa boom, Everything cured right now, I low with the.

1230
01:02:16,360 --> 01:02:20,040
Speaker 7: Latest glad to be here for you guys.

1231
01:02:20,320 --> 01:02:26,440
Speaker 8: With that, we will, however, in good stead of Seamous

1232
01:02:27,160 --> 01:02:28,880
Speaker 8: start with the Horizon League.

1233
01:02:28,960 --> 01:02:32,040
Speaker 7: Let's go. Let's see who do we want today.

1234
01:02:32,600 --> 01:02:40,520
Speaker 8: We got Robert Morris against I up you.

1235
01:02:40,400 --> 01:02:42,800
Speaker 5: Extra points if you can name the mascot for both

1236
01:02:42,840 --> 01:02:43,560
Speaker 5: of those teams.

1237
01:02:43,720 --> 01:02:47,880
Speaker 8: Okay, we got the Robert Morris Colonials.

1238
01:02:48,000 --> 01:02:52,440
Speaker 5: Yeah, you look that up.

1239
01:02:53,040 --> 01:02:55,280
Speaker 7: See that's what you can do on radio quick though.

1240
01:02:55,440 --> 01:02:57,080
Speaker 3: It was.

1241
01:02:57,920 --> 01:03:01,080
Speaker 7: Oh Mercy as in Detroit Mercy. No Titans.

Speaker 8: fan on my third glass already, Oh, Mercy, you know,

1261
01:04:14,120 --> 01:04:17,080
Speaker 8: researching THEI the Horizon League really took a lot out

1262
01:04:17,120 --> 01:04:22,640
Speaker 8: of it. Here's a shout out to a Buffalo Bills

1263
01:04:22,640 --> 01:04:27,240
Speaker 8: fan named Andrew Now. Yesterday, Andrew volunteered to shovel snow

1264
01:04:27,360 --> 01:04:31,120
Speaker 8: at high Mark Stadium in Orchard Park, and he posted

1265
01:04:31,200 --> 01:04:33,800
Speaker 8: on Twitter quote, if you're going to the game Sunday

1266
01:04:33,840 --> 01:04:37,280
Speaker 8: and you want your seat shoveled, comment the section row

1267
01:04:37,400 --> 01:04:39,800
Speaker 8: and seat, and I'll do my best to clear it

1268
01:04:39,840 --> 01:04:43,520
Speaker 8: off for you unquote. Well, fans, including fans of other

1269
01:04:43,720 --> 01:04:47,520
Speaker 8: teams like Dolphins fans and Bengals fans, were so impressed

1270
01:04:47,560 --> 01:04:52,840
Speaker 8: at the gesture. Actually just started venmoing Andrew money unsolicited,

1271
01:04:52,880 --> 01:04:56,160
Speaker 8: about three hundred dollars worth. Andrew used the money to

1272
01:04:56,160 --> 01:04:58,480
Speaker 8: buy himself a couple of beers, and then how about this,

1273
01:04:58,560 --> 01:05:02,960
Speaker 8: He donated the rest to fos Oishay Children's Hospital.

1274
01:05:03,000 --> 01:05:04,600
Speaker 7: Way to go, Andrew back to you, guys.

1275
01:05:05,320 --> 01:05:07,920
Speaker 2: I love that. That's a great story. Yeah, it's just

1276
01:05:09,240 --> 01:05:12,800
Speaker 2: you know, I love the Bills fan mentality where it's like, hey,

1277
01:05:12,840 --> 01:05:15,280
Speaker 2: I got cash, well let me buy a few bruis

1278
01:05:15,640 --> 01:05:17,919
Speaker 2: and you know what, I should probably give the rest

1279
01:05:17,960 --> 01:05:20,560
Speaker 2: of charity over here. I love that. It's a great story.

1280
01:05:20,600 --> 01:05:24,240
Speaker 2: It's Fox Sports Radios Countdown to Kickoff presented by bet MGM.

1283
01:05:29,040 --> 01:05:31,880
Speaker 2: Hall of Famer Barry Sanders and choose to spin, stiff

1284

Speaker 2: arm or jucuate to the end zone to win prizes.

1285

Speaker 2: If Barry scores a touchdown, you score a reward. Okay,

1286
01:05:38,280 --> 01:05:39,880
Speaker 2: A couple of things I want to throw at you guys.

1287
01:05:40,400 --> 01:05:46,680
Speaker 2: First thing, Mike McCarthy returning as Cowboys head coach, which wow.

1288
01:05:47,080 --> 01:05:50,000
Speaker 2: They won twelve games each of the last three years,

1289
01:05:50,720 --> 01:05:53,240
Speaker 2: but nothing to show for it. In the playoffs. They

1290
01:05:53,240 --> 01:05:57,520
Speaker 2: had one playoff win and that was against Tampa Bay.

1291
01:05:57,680 --> 01:06:01,240
Speaker 2: That was Tom Brady's final game. That was it. When

1292
01:06:01,320 --> 01:06:04,120
Speaker 2: Brett Brett Maher couldn't make an extra point. That was

1293
01:06:04,160 --> 01:06:07,000
Speaker 2: the only playoff game they've won the last three years,

1294
01:06:07,440 --> 01:06:10,160
Speaker 2: and McCarthy is back. This is what stands out to me.

1295
01:06:11,080 --> 01:06:15,640
Speaker 2: So today, when it's the Niners and the Packers, that

1296
01:06:15,680 --> 01:06:21,000
Speaker 2: will be an NFL record tenth playoff matchup. Okay, Niners

1297
01:06:21,000 --> 01:06:23,600
Speaker 2: and Packers. I bring that up because listen to the

1298
01:06:23,640 --> 01:06:31,760
Speaker 2: next three Cowboys, Packers, Cowboys, Niners, Cowboys, rams like nine

1299
01:06:31,800 --> 01:06:36,400
Speaker 2: meetings for each of those. What do they have in common? Cowboys, Cowboys, Cowboys.

1300
01:06:36,600 --> 01:06:40,440
Speaker 2: The Cowboys have won five Super Bowls, their history is

1301
01:06:40,640 --> 01:06:44,840
Speaker 2: known for excellence, and they're just settling for mediocrity right now.

1302
01:06:44,920 --> 01:06:48,439
Speaker 2: I can't believe McCarthy is back and you don't swing

1303
01:06:48,520 --> 01:06:51,480
Speaker 2: for the fences and seems like the perfect scenario to

1304
01:06:51,480 --> 01:06:55,080
Speaker 2: get Belichick in there, unless he hates Jerry Jones. There's

1305
01:06:55,080 --> 01:06:57,680
Speaker 2: no chance that's happening. I don't know how you don't

1306
01:06:57,840 --> 01:07:02,000
Speaker 2: try to do everything you can and to upgrade that. Instead,

1307
01:07:02,000 --> 01:07:05,000
Speaker 2: they're running it back with Mike McCarthy. I don't get this.

1308
01:07:05,480 --> 01:07:09,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a fascinating decision by Jerry Jones. It almost

1309
01:07:10,040 --> 01:07:13,800
Speaker 3: feels like Jerry is thinking about this from the standpoint of,

1310
01:07:14,360 --> 01:07:17,600
Speaker 3: all right, well, if I put everything on the line,

1311
01:07:17,880 --> 01:07:21,120
Speaker 3: like it's it's almost like that scene in Fast and Furious. Hey,

1312
01:07:21,120 --> 01:07:23,520
Speaker 3: we're racing for slips, you know what I.

1313
01:07:23,480 --> 01:07:26,600
Speaker 4: Mean, Like Dak one, there's like fifteen of them.

1314
01:07:26,680 --> 01:07:30,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, Dak McCarthy like this is he's truly saying to

1315
01:07:31,760 --> 01:07:35,560
Speaker 3: Mike McCarthy and through his quarterback with this decision, Hey,

1316
01:07:35,600 --> 01:07:41,040
Speaker 3: you two are inexorably tied. Your legacies really depend on

1317
01:07:41,120 --> 01:07:44,720
Speaker 3: each other. And how people are going to remember you

1318
01:07:44,840 --> 01:07:47,880
Speaker 3: as Cowboys, both as a head coach and a quarterback

1319
01:07:48,080 --> 01:07:50,880
Speaker 3: is going to depend on this next season. So you two,

1320
01:07:51,320 --> 01:07:53,400
Speaker 3: you know, get in the lab, so to speak. As

1321
01:07:53,480 --> 01:07:56,080
Speaker 3: Jerry Jones, y'all too. Just go ahead and get in

1322
01:07:56,120 --> 01:07:59,439
Speaker 3: the lab and you come up with whatever you need.

1323
01:07:59,520 --> 01:08:02,560
Speaker 3: Dak up to you mock you two, and you guys.

1324
01:08:02,280 --> 01:08:02,840
Speaker 2: Figure it out.

1325
01:08:02,840 --> 01:08:07,160
Speaker 3: Because the truth is, Jerry he's a football man to

1326
01:08:07,200 --> 01:08:11,080
Speaker 3: an extent, right, I think as a president of personnel.

1327
01:08:11,400 --> 01:08:13,920
Speaker 3: I know he's relinquished some of that to his son Steven.

1328
01:08:14,280 --> 01:08:17,879
Speaker 3: They've done a nice job putting the ingredients in the cupboard.

1329
01:08:18,200 --> 01:08:20,519
Speaker 3: He just hasn't had a great chef and a great

1330
01:08:21,400 --> 01:08:24,599
Speaker 3: sue chef in the kitchen and they need it. Like

1331
01:08:24,640 --> 01:08:28,080
Speaker 3: you said, this is a program that's dedicated to excellence,

1332
01:08:28,120 --> 01:08:32,320
Speaker 3: and they had the winning the championships in the nineties

1333
01:08:32,360 --> 01:08:34,719
Speaker 3: with Jimmy Johnson and Aikman and Irvin and that gang

1334
01:08:34,720 --> 01:08:38,920
Speaker 3: with Emmitt Smith. They haven't enjoyed that yet with Dak

1335
01:08:39,200 --> 01:08:41,680
Speaker 3: or with Romo before Dak. It just has been this

1336
01:08:41,840 --> 01:08:45,720
Speaker 3: long desert. And Mike McCarthy isn't a bad coach. I

1337
01:08:45,720 --> 01:08:47,840
Speaker 3: don't think anybody could label him as a bad coach.

1338
01:08:47,840 --> 01:08:51,160
Speaker 3: He's not the best decision maker at times clock management.

1339
01:08:51,200 --> 01:08:54,360
Speaker 3: There's been issues in the past, and playoff performances have

1340
01:08:54,479 --> 01:08:57,479
Speaker 3: been poor since he's been a head coach in Dallas.

1341
01:08:58,080 --> 01:09:01,120
Speaker 3: But twelve win seasons back to back to back. I

1342
01:09:01,120 --> 01:09:03,240
Speaker 3: think Jerry looks it in and says, I know, you

1343
01:09:03,240 --> 01:09:05,000
Speaker 3: can get us to the playoffs. You guys have to

1344
01:09:05,000 --> 01:09:07,479
Speaker 3: figure out whatever is going on here, otherwise I'm gonna

1345
01:09:07,479 --> 01:09:08,839
Speaker 3: blow up this whole situation.

1346
01:09:09,600 --> 01:09:12,719
Speaker 5: I think it's all Jerry Jones, guys, it's all who

1347
01:09:12,760 --> 01:09:14,559
Speaker 5: and maybe it's a little bit more his son too.

1348
01:09:14,600 --> 01:09:17,840
Speaker 5: In terms of the control. I think that's why the

1349
01:09:17,880 --> 01:09:21,680
Speaker 5: Cowboys aren't moving on here. They're seeing the coaching landscape,

1350
01:09:21,720 --> 01:09:25,800
Speaker 5: they are seeing Bill Belichick, they're seeing Harbaugh and then

1351
01:09:25,880 --> 01:09:29,559
Speaker 5: they're realizing we will have to give up control if

1352
01:09:29,600 --> 01:09:32,040
Speaker 5: we want to bring one of those guys in. That's

1353
01:09:32,080 --> 01:09:35,960
Speaker 5: why Bill Belichick loves the situation in Atlanta. Arthur Blank

1354
01:09:36,640 --> 01:09:41,439
Speaker 5: hands on owner with the extra stuff, not the football stuff,

1355
01:09:41,560 --> 01:09:44,400
Speaker 5: like he lets the football guys do the football stuff.

1356
01:09:44,720 --> 01:09:46,720
Speaker 5: Arthur Blank is a front facing owner. We seem a

1357
01:09:46,720 --> 01:09:48,400
Speaker 5: lot on the sidelines, but he doesn't meddle in the

1358
01:09:48,400 --> 01:09:52,280
Speaker 5: football decisions. Well, the Jones family, that's what they do.

1359
01:09:52,400 --> 01:09:55,479
Speaker 5: Like that is the only It is the most unique

1360
01:09:55,520 --> 01:09:58,719
Speaker 5: situation in the NFL where the owner of the team,

1361
01:09:58,760 --> 01:10:01,400
Speaker 5: the guy that signs your check, is also the guy

1362
01:10:01,439 --> 01:10:04,719
Speaker 5: that grades and figures out how to put the pieces

1363
01:10:04,720 --> 01:10:07,640
Speaker 5: together in the football room. That is rare and I

1364
01:10:07,640 --> 01:10:09,880
Speaker 5: think it takes a certain type of head coach to

1365
01:10:09,960 --> 01:10:13,240
Speaker 5: work with that. And I just think Jerry Jones probably

1366
01:10:13,240 --> 01:10:16,599
Speaker 5: saw what else is out there and thought the lesser

1367
01:10:16,600 --> 01:10:18,759
Speaker 5: of two evils is just to run it back with McCarthy.

1368
01:10:18,800 --> 01:10:21,719
Speaker 4: Is that the right decision? Probably not. Is it gonna

1369
01:10:21,720 --> 01:10:23,559
Speaker 4: result in the Super Bowl? Probably not?

1370
01:10:24,120 --> 01:10:27,200
Speaker 5: But I understand why they didn't want to make the

1371
01:10:27,240 --> 01:10:28,960
Speaker 5: shift at the time they did, because I think the

1372
01:10:29,000 --> 01:10:32,960
Speaker 5: window with the talent is still open with the quarterback,

1373
01:10:33,000 --> 01:10:34,960
Speaker 5: and you say, which want about Dak But the windows

1374
01:10:34,960 --> 01:10:38,240
Speaker 5: open the defense, the windows open. But I don't think

1375
01:10:38,280 --> 01:10:40,559
Speaker 5: they want to make this seismic shift because the control

1376
01:10:40,640 --> 01:10:43,800
Speaker 5: behind the scenes, that stuff matters. And if you bring

1377
01:10:43,840 --> 01:10:46,240
Speaker 5: in a Belichick, that's it. Like he wants to be

1378
01:10:46,320 --> 01:10:48,880
Speaker 5: the cook. He wants to shop for the grocer Bill

1379
01:10:48,920 --> 01:10:51,320
Speaker 5: Parcells made that line like if I'm gonna be cooking

1380
01:10:51,360 --> 01:10:53,000
Speaker 5: the meal, I want to shop for the groceries.

1381
01:10:53,160 --> 01:10:54,560
Speaker 4: That's how Bill Belichick views it.

1382
01:10:54,600 --> 01:10:57,679
Speaker 5: So I just think that situation makes it very hard

1383
01:10:57,720 --> 01:11:00,840
Speaker 5: for the Cowboys to bring in another strong willed head

1384
01:11:00,880 --> 01:11:04,240
Speaker 5: coach to make this thing work. And maybe McCarthy's just

1385
01:11:04,360 --> 01:11:05,799
Speaker 5: kind of the lesser of two evils.

1386
01:11:06,040 --> 01:11:09,880
Speaker 2: Well, I think that's the bigger story, is how these

1387
01:11:09,960 --> 01:11:14,080
Speaker 2: teams seem to be viewing Belichick. Think about that, he's

1388
01:11:14,120 --> 01:11:17,680
Speaker 2: got three hundred and thirty three career wins just in

1389
01:11:17,680 --> 01:11:20,400
Speaker 2: the regular season, right, Like he's not that far behind

1390
01:11:20,439 --> 01:11:24,479
Speaker 2: Don Shula for the most ever. And he's interviewed for

1391
01:11:24,520 --> 01:11:28,880
Speaker 2: a second time for the Atlanta Falcons opening, right, and

1392
01:11:28,920 --> 01:11:31,599
Speaker 2: they're like, yeah, we've got you on speed dial, Bill,

1393
01:11:31,640 --> 01:11:35,040
Speaker 2: but we're gonna interview Mike Vrabel on Wednesday. You know,

1394
01:11:35,160 --> 01:11:37,840
Speaker 2: it's just these teams don't seem to be falling over

1395
01:11:37,880 --> 01:11:41,920
Speaker 2: themselves to get Belichick, where they're sort of all right,

1396
01:11:42,000 --> 01:11:45,320
Speaker 2: how much power does he want? And I know he's

1397
01:11:45,560 --> 01:11:49,719
Speaker 2: won a bunch of rings, but it feels like that, right. Well, listen,

1398
01:11:49,800 --> 01:11:52,439
Speaker 2: if you're on the dating market and you go out

1399
01:11:52,479 --> 01:11:57,000
Speaker 2: with a supermodel that's got a ton to offer beyond looks,

1400
01:11:57,280 --> 01:11:59,679
Speaker 2: I don't know if you're like, you know, let's stay

1401
01:11:59,720 --> 01:12:02,479
Speaker 2: to set a time. Yeah, and I'm still gonna keep

1402
01:12:02,479 --> 01:12:05,240
Speaker 2: my options available. Don't want to be exclusive just yet.

1403
01:12:05,280 --> 01:12:08,280
Speaker 2: That's how teams seem to be viewing Belichick. It's crazy

1404
01:12:08,280 --> 01:12:08,519
Speaker 2: to me.

1405
01:12:08,760 --> 01:12:11,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a little bit like this, right, you know,

1406
01:12:11,120 --> 01:12:12,880
Speaker 3: if you do want to make the comparison to the

1407
01:12:13,000 --> 01:12:17,120
Speaker 3: dating scene, like Bill was seen for years driving around

1408
01:12:17,160 --> 01:12:20,040
Speaker 3: in a Ferrari and then all of a sudden you

1409
01:12:20,160 --> 01:12:23,160
Speaker 3: talk to him when when you're really considering him as

1410
01:12:23,200 --> 01:12:24,479
Speaker 3: a potential.

1411
01:12:24,000 --> 01:12:26,160
Speaker 2: Suitor, and you're like, hey, where'd that Ferrari go?

1412
01:12:26,200 --> 01:12:27,880
Speaker 3: And he was like, well, you know, I sold it

1413
01:12:27,920 --> 01:12:29,240
Speaker 3: to Tampa.

1414
01:12:29,080 --> 01:12:32,280
Speaker 4: And then Tom drove it down, Yeah, drove it.

1415
01:12:32,240 --> 01:12:34,280
Speaker 2: Down I ninety five. It was in Florida for a

1416
01:12:34,280 --> 01:12:34,680
Speaker 2: little bit.

1417
01:12:34,760 --> 01:12:37,280
Speaker 3: I think now it might be in Miami. I'm not

1418
01:12:37,320 --> 01:12:41,080
Speaker 3: sure it has multiple homes. Anyways, the point is I

1419
01:12:41,120 --> 01:12:43,479
Speaker 3: don't have the Ferrari anymore. And they're like, right, right, right,

1420
01:12:43,560 --> 01:12:45,840
Speaker 3: right right, And how have things been going for you

1421
01:12:45,960 --> 01:12:47,479
Speaker 3: since you got rid of that Ferrari?

1422
01:12:47,760 --> 01:12:50,280
Speaker 2: It's like not great, you know, honestly not great.

1423
01:12:50,760 --> 01:12:53,559
Speaker 3: And and so all of a sudden, yeah, Bill looks

1424
01:12:53,600 --> 01:12:56,599
Speaker 3: a little bit different without that Ferrari in the garage.

1425
01:12:56,640 --> 01:12:59,320
Speaker 3: And so I think that's probably a little bit of

1426
01:12:59,360 --> 01:13:01,959
Speaker 3: what we've seen during this uh, this coaching carousel.

1427
01:13:02,680 --> 01:13:06,320
Speaker 2: Absolutely. Yeah, that's rich Orenberger, Penn State All American Jared

1430
01:13:13,600 --> 01:13:17,000
Speaker 2: the one chip challenge. No, we do not plan on

1431
01:13:17,080 --> 01:13:19,719
Speaker 2: doing that. Can you imagine if we're all how crazy

1432
01:13:19,720 --> 01:13:21,639
Speaker 2: would it be if the planets aligned and we're all

1433
01:13:21,680 --> 01:13:24,080
Speaker 2: tied and we all do the mayonnaise thing.

1434
01:13:24,200 --> 01:13:25,439
Speaker 4: I'll push So it's not.

1435
01:13:25,439 --> 01:13:31,519
Speaker 3: Happening, Oh god, what happens if we all push this week?

1436
01:13:32,880 --> 01:13:33,839
Speaker 2: You know it's possible.

1437
01:13:34,520 --> 01:13:37,960

Speaker 2: All right, let's do this.

1454
01:14:29,920 --> 01:14:33,400
Speaker 7: Prop it up player plays.

1455
01:14:32,760 --> 01:14:35,519
Speaker 2: Okay, Jared Smith, I know you've been in the lab.

1456
01:14:35,640 --> 01:14:36,519
Speaker 2: What do you like in here?

1457
01:14:36,920 --> 01:14:39,720
Speaker 5: Yeah, let's start with a quarterback rushing prop and it's

1458
01:14:39,800 --> 01:14:43,400
Speaker 5: not the guys you're thinking of. How about brock Purty

1459
01:14:43,760 --> 01:14:46,519
Speaker 5: over five and a half rushing yards?

1460
01:14:46,560 --> 01:14:47,800
Speaker 4: Hear me out, guys, hear me out.

1461
01:14:47,800 --> 01:14:50,920
Speaker 5: So he's had at least one attempt in every game

1462
01:14:50,960 --> 01:14:54,720
Speaker 5: but three this year, and he's had multiple carries in eleven.

1463
01:14:54,760 --> 01:14:56,400
Speaker 4: Of the sixteen he's played in.

1464
01:14:56,520 --> 01:14:59,880
Speaker 5: And the Packers actually give up the second most yard

1465
01:15:00,240 --> 01:15:03,880
Speaker 5: to quarterbacks in terms of rushing yards this season. I

1466
01:15:03,920 --> 01:15:08,160
Speaker 5: know Brock's not this, you know, Josh Allen, Mahomes, even

1467
01:15:08,240 --> 01:15:09,360
Speaker 5: Lamar Jackson.

1468
01:15:09,080 --> 01:15:11,120
Speaker 4: Tight, but I think five and a half, all you

1469
01:15:11,120 --> 01:15:11,960
Speaker 4: need to do is get the six.

1470
01:15:12,000 --> 01:15:13,920
Speaker 5: I think one rush we'll get us there, one design

1471
01:15:14,080 --> 01:15:17,880
Speaker 5: quarterback run, maybe some changing up the tendencies with the

1472
01:15:17,960 --> 01:15:21,439
Speaker 5: Shanahan and in familiarity with Laflor's offense, or excuse me,

1473
01:15:21,479 --> 01:15:22,280
Speaker 5: with Shannon's offense.

1474
01:15:22,320 --> 01:15:24,120
Speaker 4: So how about brock Purty over five and a half

1475
01:15:24,160 --> 01:15:24,759
Speaker 4: rush ups?

1476
01:15:24,920 --> 01:15:25,280
Speaker 2: All right?

1477
01:15:25,400 --> 01:15:31,879
Speaker 3: I'm focused on this Sunday night game between the Bills

1478
01:15:32,000 --> 01:15:34,599
Speaker 3: and the Chiefs, and I think overs are gonna hit.

1479
01:15:34,720 --> 01:15:37,040
Speaker 3: I like the over on the total, I like the

1480
01:15:37,080 --> 01:15:39,720
Speaker 3: over on the props. Better to be perfectly honest with you,

1481
01:15:40,360 --> 01:15:43,479
Speaker 3: Josh Allen two twenty seven and a half, Give me

1482
01:15:43,520 --> 01:15:47,400
Speaker 3: the over. Stefan Diggs sixty two and a half receiving yards,

1483
01:15:47,720 --> 01:15:50,880
Speaker 3: give me the over. Patrick Mahomes two fifty three and

1484
01:15:50,960 --> 01:15:52,240
Speaker 3: a hook, give me.

1485
01:15:52,520 --> 01:15:53,200
Speaker 2: Give me the over.

1486
01:15:53,840 --> 01:15:56,760
Speaker 3: Rashie Rice seventy one and a half, Give me the over.

1487
01:15:56,880 --> 01:15:59,519
Speaker 3: I think this is gonna be a passing fest. I

1488
01:15:59,560 --> 01:16:01,800
Speaker 3: think that both of these are cold weather teams, and

1489
01:16:01,840 --> 01:16:04,080
Speaker 3: if wind isn't a factor, which it doesn't look like

1490
01:16:04,160 --> 01:16:06,799
Speaker 3: it's going to be a windy day, and it's just cold.

1491
01:16:07,439 --> 01:16:10,400
Speaker 3: Offenses like to throw in that type of weather because

1492
01:16:10,400 --> 01:16:14,439
Speaker 3: it's a little lesson expected, and so I I like,

1493
01:16:14,640 --> 01:16:17,160
Speaker 3: I like a lot of these over totals. And also

1494
01:16:17,200 --> 01:16:20,559
Speaker 3: with pass rushes getting to the quarterback. We already talked

1495
01:16:20,560 --> 01:16:23,960
Speaker 3: about this, you know, better, receivers getting uncovered, big plays

1496
01:16:23,960 --> 01:16:26,559
Speaker 3: occurring in big games. I like. I like a lot

1497
01:16:26,600 --> 01:16:28,080
Speaker 3: of the overs on a lot of the props in

1498
01:16:28,120 --> 01:16:29,280
Speaker 3: this one.

1499
01:16:29,880 --> 01:16:32,479
Speaker 2: I'm gonna stick with the same game. I'm gonna go

1500
01:16:32,600 --> 01:16:36,639
Speaker 2: with the Josh Allen experience, going in the wrong direction

1501
01:16:37,040 --> 01:16:40,280
Speaker 2: at least for one play. Give me an interception, okay, Josh,

1502
01:16:40,400 --> 01:16:43,360
Speaker 2: I like doing a pick Yeah, minus won twenty. I

1503
01:16:43,560 --> 01:16:46,400
Speaker 2: like that, Jared. I think we're on the same page

1504
01:16:46,400 --> 01:16:49,160
Speaker 2: with George Kittle. Sure, if you look at him against

1505
01:16:49,160 --> 01:16:52,920
Speaker 2: this Packers defense, his receiving yardage prop is at fifty

1506
01:16:53,000 --> 01:16:53,719
Speaker 2: one and a half.

1507
01:16:54,080 --> 01:16:54,479
Speaker 4: Yeah.

1508
01:16:54,640 --> 01:16:58,759
Speaker 2: The thing is they have so many weapons where perty

1509
01:16:58,800 --> 01:17:01,280
Speaker 2: can just hand it off to my Caffrey. He can

1510
01:17:01,439 --> 01:17:06,240
Speaker 2: target Iyuk or Debo or right like, so you always

1511
01:17:06,320 --> 01:17:09,000
Speaker 2: have to guard against that. But getting to over fifty

1512
01:17:09,040 --> 01:17:11,920
Speaker 2: one and a half for George Kittle, I think they're

1513
01:17:11,960 --> 01:17:15,000
Speaker 2: going to pick on kway Walker a lot. It's now

1514
01:17:15,080 --> 01:17:17,759
Speaker 2: that great in past coverage, So I think George Kittle

1515
01:17:17,840 --> 01:17:20,160
Speaker 2: going over fifty one and a half is solid play.

1516
01:17:20,360 --> 01:17:24,120
Speaker 5: Yeah, And I think kind of feel back to curtain

1517
01:17:24,160 --> 01:17:26,879
Speaker 5: a little bit. I think when my strategy with props

1518
01:17:26,880 --> 01:17:30,599
Speaker 5: in the playoffs, if I like a star player Kittle,

1519
01:17:30,920 --> 01:17:33,879
Speaker 5: you know, Josh Allen or you know one of those guys,

1520
01:17:34,080 --> 01:17:36,080
Speaker 5: I want to bet it early in the week because

1521
01:17:36,120 --> 01:17:38,519
Speaker 5: the number will keep going up throughout the week because

1522
01:17:38,680 --> 01:17:41,639
Speaker 5: as we get closer to the game time more public.

1523
01:17:41,720 --> 01:17:44,000
Speaker 5: Usually the public bets late. So if you like a

1524
01:17:44,040 --> 01:17:46,679
Speaker 5: star player, bet at early. If you like a random dude,

1525
01:17:46,680 --> 01:17:49,559
Speaker 5: for example, Bowl Melton for the Packers. One of my

1526
01:17:49,600 --> 01:17:52,519
Speaker 5: guys today over ten and a half receiving yards. You

1527
01:17:52,520 --> 01:17:55,720
Speaker 5: should feel comfortable waiting until game time because not a

1528
01:17:55,720 --> 01:17:57,479
Speaker 5: lot of people are betting that one. But Bo Melton's

1529
01:17:57,479 --> 01:17:59,840
Speaker 5: a guy I've got on my on my wish list today.

1530
01:18:00,000 --> 01:18:01,880
Speaker 5: A couple of the ones I really like. Obviously, the

1531
01:18:02,120 --> 01:18:04,360
Speaker 5: tight end props I think in the Texans Ravens game

1532
01:18:04,439 --> 01:18:07,240
Speaker 5: are are something to look at. I did a parlay

1533
01:18:07,280 --> 01:18:10,120
Speaker 5: with Dalton Schultz and Isaiah Likely each with three receptions

1534
01:18:10,120 --> 01:18:10,519
Speaker 5: in the game.

1535
01:18:10,560 --> 01:18:11,439
Speaker 4: That's a plus money.

1536
01:18:12,280 --> 01:18:14,200
Speaker 5: And then Likely and Schulter both in kind of the

1537
01:18:14,200 --> 01:18:16,400
Speaker 5: load of mid thirties and their receiving yard props. I

1538
01:18:16,400 --> 01:18:18,040
Speaker 5: think those are fair bets as well. To de open.

1539
01:18:18,840 --> 01:18:22,759
Speaker 2: I like that because it's a bridge to the Packers Niners.

1540
01:18:22,960 --> 01:18:25,679
Speaker 2: There you go talking about that. Packers have a lot

1541
01:18:25,720 --> 01:18:28,200
Speaker 2: of young dudes that are very hard to figure out

1542
01:18:28,200 --> 01:18:31,800
Speaker 2: who's going right, and then there's like no shows some weeks.

1543
01:18:32,240 --> 01:18:35,719
Speaker 2: So we'll get to that Packers Niners what to look

1544
01:18:35,800 --> 01:18:40,320
Speaker 2: for and he picks from either quarterback, we'll dissect. Ah, yes,

1545
01:18:40,439 --> 01:18:43,760
Speaker 2: what is going on? Everybody? The divisional round of the

1546
01:18:43,880 --> 01:18:48,680
Speaker 2: NFL playoffs start today with the doubleheader. We will get

1547
01:18:48,680 --> 01:18:52,519
Speaker 2: to Packers Niners momentarily very very fast. Though, shout out

1548
01:18:52,840 --> 01:18:56,400
Speaker 2: Jonathan on X Oh boy, they'll getting used to it.

1549
01:18:57,240 --> 01:19:01,200
Speaker 2: He tweeted at me. He said, if you are looking

1550
01:19:01,240 --> 01:19:05,120
Speaker 2: for Horizon League advice, green Bay has covered the spread

1551
01:19:05,120 --> 01:19:06,200
Speaker 2: in every conference game.

1552
01:19:06,200 --> 01:19:10,479
Speaker 5: They've been hot. The game again Right State the other

1553
01:19:10,560 --> 01:19:12,800
Speaker 5: day was a disaster for me. I bet Right State

1554
01:19:12,800 --> 01:19:13,559
Speaker 5: and they got blown out.

1555
01:19:14,280 --> 01:19:18,280
Speaker 2: Shout out to you and Jonathan with your Horizon League numbers.

1556
01:19:18,560 --> 01:19:20,320
Speaker 4: Joth send me the Horizon numbers.

1557
01:19:22,040 --> 01:19:26,760
Speaker 3: I love. I love that you bring up Green Bays

1558
01:19:27,280 --> 01:19:31,960
Speaker 3: against the spread numbers and we're not talking about yeah yeah,

1559
01:19:32,000 --> 01:19:33,480
Speaker 3: and Jared Smith.

1560
01:19:33,200 --> 01:19:35,559
Speaker 2: Goes, god, I know, yeah, right.

1561
01:19:37,479 --> 01:19:39,000
Speaker 4: I gave it out on a show the other day.

1562
01:19:39,040 --> 01:19:40,920
Speaker 5: I gave out Right State minus nine and a half

1563
01:19:41,000 --> 01:19:44,200
Speaker 5: against Green Bay and they lost at home to green Bay,

1564
01:19:45,040 --> 01:19:46,160
Speaker 5: a ten point favorite.

1565
01:19:46,439 --> 01:19:48,960
Speaker 3: Out a little bit.

1566
01:19:49,120 --> 01:19:51,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay. So if we pivot back to the NFL

1567
01:19:51,800 --> 01:19:55,839
Speaker 2: with Packers Niners, that's your nightcap this evening on Fox.

1568
01:19:56,680 --> 01:19:59,479
Speaker 2: I think the first thing that comes to mind for me,

1569
01:20:00,120 --> 01:20:03,160
Speaker 2: it's just funny to me how most of this week

1570
01:20:03,200 --> 01:20:07,799
Speaker 2: has been the Cowboys stink. They choke again. They always

1571
01:20:07,880 --> 01:20:11,599
Speaker 2: do this, yeah yeah, yeah, and then it's like, hey man,

1572
01:20:11,600 --> 01:20:13,800
Speaker 2: what a win for the Packers. Though, you know what

1573
01:20:13,840 --> 01:20:16,719
Speaker 2: I mean, like, how can it be both? It makes

1574
01:20:16,760 --> 01:20:21,879
Speaker 2: sense where we're just trashing the Cowboys losing again, wetting

1575
01:20:21,920 --> 01:20:26,000
Speaker 2: themselves looking awful, and then it's like, how about the Packers.

1576
01:20:26,960 --> 01:20:28,960
Speaker 2: That's just odd to me. So if you spin it

1577
01:20:29,000 --> 01:20:31,960
Speaker 2: forward to this matchup against the Niners, that's where I start.

1578
01:20:32,720 --> 01:20:35,720
Speaker 2: And I think since we went to seven teams in

1579
01:20:35,760 --> 01:20:40,840
Speaker 2: each conference in the NFL Playoffs expanded into twenty twenty season, right,

1580
01:20:40,960 --> 01:20:42,840
Speaker 2: that was the first season of it. That's when Tom

1581
01:20:42,880 --> 01:20:47,240
Speaker 2: Brady and Tampa won it all. Before last week heading

1582
01:20:47,280 --> 01:20:51,600
Speaker 2: in for the Packers, seven seeds were zero to six. Wow,

1583
01:20:51,680 --> 01:20:55,280
Speaker 2: in games like then. Now they're one in seven thanks

1584
01:20:55,280 --> 01:20:58,400
Speaker 2: to the Packers beating the Cowboys. So I think about

1585
01:20:58,400 --> 01:21:01,200
Speaker 2: that and I'm like, so a seventh seed in the

1586
01:21:01,240 --> 01:21:04,479
Speaker 2: Packers great win on the road against Dallas. They bucked

1587
01:21:04,520 --> 01:21:07,800
Speaker 2: the trend there. Now they're gonna go into San Francisco.

1588
01:21:08,360 --> 01:21:12,800
Speaker 2: They've got Joe Barry as their defensive coordinator. Kyle Shanahan

1589
01:21:13,000 --> 01:21:16,600
Speaker 2: is the Niners play caller. That is a gross mismatch

1590
01:21:17,160 --> 01:21:20,400
Speaker 2: and what they're just gonna ride this wave of momentum

1591
01:21:20,479 --> 01:21:23,679
Speaker 2: to what a win? I don't see it at all.

1592
01:21:24,479 --> 01:21:26,800
Speaker 2: The Packers gonna have to I think, run the ball

1593
01:21:26,920 --> 01:21:29,880
Speaker 2: very effectively. I know Jordan Love was tremendous last week,

1594
01:21:30,360 --> 01:21:32,880
Speaker 2: but I think trying to keep that Niners offense off

1595
01:21:32,880 --> 01:21:35,680
Speaker 2: the field, and maybe even more importantly, trying to keep

1596
01:21:35,720 --> 01:21:38,879
Speaker 2: them out of rhythm, out of sink. If Aaron Jones

1597
01:21:38,920 --> 01:21:41,640
Speaker 2: can have a day again, I think that would be

1598
01:21:41,760 --> 01:21:45,080
Speaker 2: huge for the Packers. But that's easier said than done.

1599
01:21:45,680 --> 01:21:48,720
Speaker 3: You know, it's so crazy about the Packers making the postseason.

1600
01:21:49,280 --> 01:21:53,559
Speaker 3: Outside of just two teams who were playing last weekend,

1601
01:21:53,720 --> 01:21:56,719
Speaker 3: I would have them as losers and the two teams

1602
01:21:56,760 --> 01:21:59,439
Speaker 3: that I would have them beating the team they beat

1603
01:21:59,760 --> 01:22:04,920
Speaker 3: in Dallas and Philadelphia. Like it's it's been such a

1604
01:22:04,960 --> 01:22:07,439
Speaker 3: weird year in the NFC. Like, if you really think

1605
01:22:07,479 --> 01:22:14,000
Speaker 3: about it, Packers against Philly, Dallas, Tampa Bay, Detroit Rams,

1606
01:22:15,520 --> 01:22:19,439
Speaker 3: you you probably like any one of those teams over

1607
01:22:19,439 --> 01:22:24,040
Speaker 3: excuse me, disclude Philly, right, but Detroit Rams, Tampa Bay.

1608
01:22:24,240 --> 01:22:27,920
Speaker 3: You probably take any of those three teams over the Packers.

1609
01:22:28,320 --> 01:22:31,640
Speaker 3: You look at Philadelphia, huge warts everywhere you look, the

1610
01:22:31,680 --> 01:22:34,639
Speaker 3: wins that they accrued over that ten to one stretch,

1611
01:22:35,080 --> 01:22:38,879
Speaker 3: it felt it felt false, It felt like the foundation

1612
01:22:39,120 --> 01:22:43,080
Speaker 3: was built on sand and Dallas they were just I

1613
01:22:43,120 --> 01:22:45,080
Speaker 3: don't know they were so I was so back and

1614
01:22:45,080 --> 01:22:47,599
Speaker 3: forth with them all season long, although they drew them

1615
01:22:47,600 --> 01:22:49,920
Speaker 3: at home, so that was a vote of confidence in

1616
01:22:49,960 --> 01:22:54,200
Speaker 3: the Cowboys favors. But Dak in the playoffs, I mean,

1617
01:22:54,200 --> 01:22:56,160
Speaker 3: we could talk about all day long. There were just

1618
01:22:56,640 --> 01:23:00,320
Speaker 3: I would have more concerns if I were on the

1619
01:23:00,400 --> 01:23:04,240
Speaker 3: side of Philadelphia or the Cowboys going against the Packers

1620
01:23:04,240 --> 01:23:06,599
Speaker 3: in the postseason than any of those other NFC teams.

1621
01:23:06,640 --> 01:23:09,960
Speaker 3: Having said that, we didn't even get to include the

1622
01:23:10,040 --> 01:23:12,960
Speaker 3: Niners in that conversation because it didn't play last week.

1623
01:23:13,560 --> 01:23:16,880
Speaker 3: I think the Packers could get rolled here, I had to.

1624
01:23:17,160 --> 01:23:19,120
Speaker 3: I think I think this could be one of those

1625
01:23:19,200 --> 01:23:22,559
Speaker 3: games where if the defense shows up and there's no

1626
01:23:22,720 --> 01:23:27,320
Speaker 3: rust and the Niners are ready to play this, this

1627
01:23:27,400 --> 01:23:30,240
Speaker 3: could be one of those really lopsided victories. And I'm

1628
01:23:30,240 --> 01:23:32,839
Speaker 3: not hoping for it. I hope these are all close games.

1629
01:23:32,920 --> 01:23:37,360
Speaker 3: I usually like taking the points in the divisional round

1630
01:23:37,439 --> 01:23:40,800
Speaker 3: because usually these are closer games, especially when you have

1631
01:23:40,840 --> 01:23:45,080
Speaker 3: wider spreads like we're seeing today with Baltimore and the

1632
01:23:45,160 --> 01:23:50,040
Speaker 3: Niners for that matter. But if this Niners defense finds

1633
01:23:50,040 --> 01:23:54,080
Speaker 3: a way to shut down even one of Jordan Love's

1634
01:23:54,080 --> 01:23:56,760
Speaker 3: favorite pass catchers. This could be a long, hard day

1635
01:23:56,800 --> 01:23:57,519
Speaker 3: for the Packers.

1636
01:23:58,040 --> 01:24:03,080
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think there's one one scenario that Green Bay

1637
01:24:03,120 --> 01:24:04,080
Speaker 5: can't keep this close.

1638
01:24:04,439 --> 01:24:06,280
Speaker 4: Here's the scenario. I'll give it to you here.

1639
01:24:06,320 --> 01:24:07,880
Speaker 5: I'll give you some numbers to back it up, and

1640
01:24:07,880 --> 01:24:09,280
Speaker 5: then you guys can tell me if I'm off my

1641
01:24:09,400 --> 01:24:10,000
Speaker 5: rocker or not.

1642
01:24:10,640 --> 01:24:13,240
Speaker 4: So the outside zone.

1643
01:24:13,040 --> 01:24:17,640
Speaker 5: Run with Aaron Jones has been kind of the I

1644
01:24:17,680 --> 01:24:20,160
Speaker 5: would call it the great equalizer to this Packers offense.

1645
01:24:20,160 --> 01:24:23,080
Speaker 5: They were very aggressive last week. The average depth of

1646
01:24:23,120 --> 01:24:26,000
Speaker 5: target was over ten yards down the field. Jordan Love

1647
01:24:26,080 --> 01:24:29,000
Speaker 5: was taking shots. Green Bay took the ball first, you know,

1648
01:24:29,080 --> 01:24:32,200
Speaker 5: usually you defer, and they marched it right down the field.

1649
01:24:32,240 --> 01:24:34,360
Speaker 5: They scored, and they put all the pressure on the Cowboys.

1650
01:24:34,560 --> 01:24:37,200
Speaker 5: It was Aaron Jones, I think, the thread of the

1651
01:24:37,200 --> 01:24:39,960
Speaker 5: outside zone. So they ran the outside zone play sixty

1652
01:24:40,000 --> 01:24:42,559
Speaker 5: four percent of the time of their running play. Sixty

1653
01:24:42,600 --> 01:24:45,520
Speaker 5: four percent of the runs were outside zone against the Cowboys.

1654
01:24:46,120 --> 01:24:48,680
Speaker 5: The league average is about twenty five percent there, so

1655
01:24:49,400 --> 01:24:55,080
Speaker 5: that is the staple. Well, that run style has given

1656
01:24:55,120 --> 01:24:57,920
Speaker 5: the Niners defense fits, and here's the number to back

1657
01:24:57,960 --> 01:25:01,320
Speaker 5: it up. So Steve will of course, big step down

1658
01:25:01,320 --> 01:25:03,840
Speaker 5: of defensive coordinator by the way, from Demiko Ryans Steve Wilks.

1659
01:25:03,920 --> 01:25:05,880
Speaker 4: Right, look how great Demiko Ryans has been in Houston.

1660
01:25:05,920 --> 01:25:08,080
Speaker 5: Like Steve Wilkes is good, but he's not at that

1661
01:25:08,160 --> 01:25:12,200
Speaker 5: level since the bye, and since they move Wilkes about

1662
01:25:12,200 --> 01:25:14,599
Speaker 5: midseason from the booth down of the field, and since

1663
01:25:14,640 --> 01:25:19,040
Speaker 5: the tray and the Chase Young deal about midseason, the

1664
01:25:19,160 --> 01:25:21,960
Speaker 5: Niners are actually like one of the worst teams in

1665
01:25:21,960 --> 01:25:24,800
Speaker 5: the NFL defending the outside zone like it's a it's

1666
01:25:24,800 --> 01:25:28,639
Speaker 5: a shocking statistic, but they haven't been good against that scheme.

1667
01:25:29,120 --> 01:25:32,160
Speaker 5: So if the Packers can keep this in a neutral

1668
01:25:32,200 --> 01:25:35,280
Speaker 5: game script, not fall behind by two scores, keep Aaron

1669
01:25:35,400 --> 01:25:39,040
Speaker 5: Jones's outside zone plays part of the equation, not make

1670
01:25:39,120 --> 01:25:42,120
Speaker 5: Jordan Loft throw at fifty five sixty times today, I

1671
01:25:42,240 --> 01:25:46,320
Speaker 5: think that's the path for the Packers' offense keeping this

1672
01:25:46,400 --> 01:25:49,880
Speaker 5: game at level par. Now, you mentioned the other side

1673
01:25:49,880 --> 01:25:52,520
Speaker 5: of the matchup Shanahan against Barry's defense.

1674
01:25:52,200 --> 01:25:52,880
Speaker 4: Like I don't.

1675
01:25:53,080 --> 01:25:54,719
Speaker 5: It's gonna have to be a wing and a prayer,

1676
01:25:55,000 --> 01:25:57,320
Speaker 5: you know, maybe a perty mistake to kind of keep

1677
01:25:57,360 --> 01:25:58,759
Speaker 5: this game within shouting distance.

1678
01:25:58,760 --> 01:26:00,840
Speaker 4: But if they can, if the def hold up.

1679
01:26:01,080 --> 01:26:03,680
Speaker 5: Maybe they are less aggressive with the blitz schemes like

1680
01:26:03,720 --> 01:26:05,800
Speaker 5: they were last week against Dak and maybe Purty makes

1681
01:26:05,800 --> 01:26:08,400
Speaker 5: a mistake and Aaron Jones is still running the ball

1682
01:26:08,439 --> 01:26:11,559
Speaker 5: with the outside zone left and right. That is a

1683
01:26:11,680 --> 01:26:14,240
Speaker 5: play over the last eight weeks or so that has

1684
01:26:14,280 --> 01:26:17,280
Speaker 5: given the Niners problem. So I think that's kind of

1685
01:26:17,320 --> 01:26:20,000
Speaker 5: the path, and I'm not saying it's likely, but at

1686
01:26:20,080 --> 01:26:22,240
Speaker 5: least it is a path that I can see San

1687
01:26:22,280 --> 01:26:24,320
Speaker 5: Francisco struggling against his Green Bay offense.

1688
01:26:24,680 --> 01:26:28,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, no, I hear you on that. And look, man,

1689
01:26:28,400 --> 01:26:32,080
Speaker 2: trying to get the Niners to play from behind is

1690
01:26:32,280 --> 01:26:35,519
Speaker 2: a big, big deal for the Packers here today for

1691
01:26:35,640 --> 01:26:38,680
Speaker 2: obvious reasons. You just laid it out right there. But

1692
01:26:39,680 --> 01:26:42,800
Speaker 2: I think that the Niners are not accustomed to doing that.

1693
01:26:43,360 --> 01:26:45,600
Speaker 2: You saw that last week with the Cowboys, Like this

1694
01:26:45,680 --> 01:26:48,400
Speaker 2: is great stat with the Cowboys. The Cowboys only won

1695
01:26:48,560 --> 01:26:52,519
Speaker 2: twice when trailing at any point after the first quarter.

1696
01:26:53,840 --> 01:26:56,120
Speaker 2: They only won two games like that, and so when

1697
01:26:56,120 --> 01:26:59,000
Speaker 2: they were trailing, they're just trailing by more and more

1698
01:26:59,000 --> 01:27:01,000
Speaker 2: and it's like we're not to this at all. We're

1699
01:27:01,000 --> 01:27:04,760
Speaker 2: not really especially at home, and they felt like a

1700
01:27:04,760 --> 01:27:07,439
Speaker 2: fish out of water. So I think if you're able

1701
01:27:07,479 --> 01:27:10,439
Speaker 2: to run the ball and get a lead is a big,

1702
01:27:10,479 --> 01:27:14,160
Speaker 2: big deal for the Packers. And then also this the

1703
01:27:14,320 --> 01:27:18,240
Speaker 2: turnover game here, this stands out to me at BETMGM.

1704
01:27:18,240 --> 01:27:21,160
Speaker 2: It's crazy. So if you look at the interception props

1705
01:27:21,320 --> 01:27:26,080
Speaker 2: for each quarterback Brock Purty to throw one interception, it's

1706
01:27:26,080 --> 01:27:29,160
Speaker 2: minus one to h five. Okay for him to just

1707
01:27:29,200 --> 01:27:33,719
Speaker 2: throw one interception. Packers only have seven interceptions this season

1708
01:27:34,040 --> 01:27:37,080
Speaker 2: as a defense, only the Titans had less, so they

1709
01:27:37,080 --> 01:27:39,880
Speaker 2: don't I don't get a lot of the interceptions. Jordan

1710
01:27:40,000 --> 01:27:45,240
Speaker 2: Love to throw at least one interception today minus one ninety,

1711
01:27:45,479 --> 01:27:49,400
Speaker 2: So the betting market is telling you it's very likely

1712
01:27:49,680 --> 01:27:53,240
Speaker 2: that Jordan Love throws an interception, So play that out.

1713
01:27:53,600 --> 01:27:56,200
Speaker 2: You're trying to slow down this juggernaut of a forty

1714
01:27:56,280 --> 01:27:58,920
Speaker 2: nine ers offense. How do you slow them down? Do

1715
01:27:58,960 --> 01:28:03,960
Speaker 2: you play base defense and try to slow down Christian McCaffrey.

1716
01:28:04,080 --> 01:28:06,840
Speaker 2: It's like, well, okay, the passing games is gonna eat

1717
01:28:06,840 --> 01:28:08,920
Speaker 2: you up. You got mismatches all over the place.

1718
01:28:09,080 --> 01:28:09,280
Speaker 3: YEP.

1719
01:28:09,400 --> 01:28:11,719
Speaker 2: It's like, okay, if you play nickel, they are going

1720
01:28:11,760 --> 01:28:15,519
Speaker 2: to play smash mouth against you, and there's nothing you

1721
01:28:15,560 --> 01:28:18,120
Speaker 2: can do about it. So on top of that, if

1722
01:28:18,200 --> 01:28:22,600
Speaker 2: Jordan Love is turning the ball over even once, it's like,

1723
01:28:22,680 --> 01:28:24,680
Speaker 2: good luck. How are you going to match points with

1724
01:28:24,720 --> 01:28:25,040
Speaker 2: all that?

1725
01:28:25,280 --> 01:28:28,920
Speaker 3: I hate the matchup for the Packers, and I wish

1726
01:28:29,000 --> 01:28:31,360
Speaker 3: I loved it because, like we were just talking about,

1727
01:28:32,000 --> 01:28:35,720
Speaker 3: like I was saying, I really want close games. In

1728
01:28:35,800 --> 01:28:39,240
Speaker 3: the divisional round, we saw nothing but blowouts outside of

1729
01:28:39,680 --> 01:28:45,080
Speaker 3: that Detroit Los Angeles game. Thank you the Rams Detroit game.

1730
01:28:45,120 --> 01:28:47,559
Speaker 3: It was it was the only one that really felt

1731
01:28:47,560 --> 01:28:50,880
Speaker 3: like a ballgame until the final play. I hate it

1732
01:28:50,880 --> 01:28:53,960
Speaker 3: for the Packers because the way you just described that,

1733
01:28:54,040 --> 01:28:58,479
Speaker 3: Brian was perfect. If you try to solve one problem

1734
01:28:58,560 --> 01:29:03,400
Speaker 3: another problem, ye illuminates. And so brock Purdy also, I

1735
01:29:03,400 --> 01:29:06,200
Speaker 3: don't think it's enough credit for what he's able to

1736
01:29:06,240 --> 01:29:09,600
Speaker 3: do win teams commit themselves to stopping the run or not.

1737
01:29:10,160 --> 01:29:13,920
Speaker 3: I mean, this guy was a legit MVP candidate this year.

1738
01:29:14,479 --> 01:29:18,320
Speaker 3: This guy in the postseason last year win forty one

1739
01:29:18,360 --> 01:29:22,320
Speaker 3: of sixty three for five sixty nine, three touchdowns, no interceptions.

1740
01:29:22,720 --> 01:29:24,960
Speaker 3: So you just you just made a key point taking

1741
01:29:24,960 --> 01:29:27,880
Speaker 3: care of the football. There could be bad weather, inclement

1742
01:29:27,920 --> 01:29:31,400
Speaker 3: weather for this game when it kicks off. Also, so

1743
01:29:31,960 --> 01:29:34,360
Speaker 3: you look at all of you look at all the

1744
01:29:34,360 --> 01:29:36,960
Speaker 3: benefits that stack up in the in the side of

1745
01:29:37,000 --> 01:29:39,960
Speaker 3: the forty nine ers, and you say, okay, how does

1746
01:29:40,000 --> 01:29:43,120
Speaker 3: Green Bay win? Well, the truth is football is a

1747
01:29:43,120 --> 01:29:45,839
Speaker 3: weird sport. It's a funny it's a funny shaped object.

1748
01:29:45,840 --> 01:29:48,280
Speaker 3: He got a hold onto, Maybe Brock gets sacked him

1749
01:29:48,280 --> 01:29:51,240
Speaker 3: because the ball's wet. He fumbles, you know, maybe throws

1750
01:29:51,280 --> 01:29:54,080
Speaker 3: an early interception because the ball slips a little bit.

1751
01:29:54,160 --> 01:29:55,960
Speaker 3: And that can happen to Jordan Love too. He's got

1752
01:29:56,000 --> 01:29:58,160
Speaker 3: much bigger hands, he's a much bigger athlete, and all

1753
01:29:58,200 --> 01:30:01,559
Speaker 3: those things. But still, do you think all it takes

1754
01:30:01,600 --> 01:30:03,519
Speaker 3: is a couple of mistakes and then it is a

1755
01:30:03,560 --> 01:30:07,400
Speaker 3: ballgame for the Packers. We'll see if those mistakes are made,

1756
01:30:07,439 --> 01:30:10,400
Speaker 3: We'll see if those breaks come Green Bay's way. But

1757
01:30:10,479 --> 01:30:13,759
Speaker 3: I really, honestly feel that's the only way the Packers

1758
01:30:13,800 --> 01:30:17,040
Speaker 3: advance is if they get some significant breaks and they

1759
01:30:17,120 --> 01:30:18,080
Speaker 3: capitalize on them.

1760
01:30:18,160 --> 01:30:21,320
Speaker 5: And the weather is there is some wind, there is

1761
01:30:21,479 --> 01:30:23,719
Speaker 5: some you know, potential for wet stuff.

1762
01:30:23,760 --> 01:30:25,000
Speaker 4: Of course, it is the Bay Area.

1763
01:30:25,040 --> 01:30:28,720
Speaker 5: I know the stadium in Santa Clara is not San Francisco,

1764
01:30:28,800 --> 01:30:30,439
Speaker 5: but you know it's in the same vicinity.

1765
01:30:32,360 --> 01:30:33,599
Speaker 4: I think it's fair and.

1766
01:30:35,040 --> 01:30:38,479
Speaker 5: I always implore anyone betting on games, like, don't just

1767
01:30:38,520 --> 01:30:42,599
Speaker 5: look at last week right last week, that game got

1768
01:30:42,640 --> 01:30:46,360
Speaker 5: away from Dallas very quickly. They were down twenty seven

1769
01:30:46,360 --> 01:30:49,360
Speaker 5: to nothing. They were a seven point favorite, down four

1770
01:30:49,520 --> 01:30:53,480
Speaker 5: scores in the first half. Like it just it's snowballed,

1771
01:30:53,520 --> 01:30:57,320
Speaker 5: and that it tends to do that sometimes in these

1772
01:30:57,600 --> 01:30:59,680
Speaker 5: playoff games because one team is just really hot and

1773
01:30:59,720 --> 01:31:01,720
Speaker 5: they don't stop right, like there's no foot off the

1774
01:31:01,760 --> 01:31:04,720
Speaker 5: gas in a in a playoff game. So I think

1775
01:31:04,760 --> 01:31:08,599
Speaker 5: it's very fair not to overreact to what the Packers

1776
01:31:08,600 --> 01:31:10,200
Speaker 5: did last week, Like I'm not looking at that game

1777
01:31:10,280 --> 01:31:12,160
Speaker 5: last week and say, oh man, this Packers team is

1778
01:31:12,240 --> 01:31:15,880
Speaker 5: very dangerous. I just I guess I don't view the Niners.

1779
01:31:16,479 --> 01:31:20,840
Speaker 5: I my opinion of the Niners has decreased, like it's

1780
01:31:20,880 --> 01:31:23,479
Speaker 5: it's trended down throughout the season. I think if you

1781
01:31:23,520 --> 01:31:26,400
Speaker 5: look at the Demico Ryans thing is is one factor

1782
01:31:27,160 --> 01:31:31,040
Speaker 5: their defense. I don't think it is as stout than

1783
01:31:31,120 --> 01:31:34,000
Speaker 5: years past. They're a little bit more beatable. Their front

1784
01:31:34,080 --> 01:31:36,720
Speaker 5: four is not as deep, they don't have as much

1785
01:31:36,760 --> 01:31:39,559
Speaker 5: of a robust rotation. I would say, like Armstead coming

1786
01:31:39,600 --> 01:31:42,160
Speaker 5: back this week might be huge. Keep an eye on

1787
01:31:42,160 --> 01:31:45,240
Speaker 5: that injury status and how much he plays in this game.

1788
01:31:45,280 --> 01:31:47,719
Speaker 5: But I don't view this Packer or this this Niners

1789
01:31:47,760 --> 01:31:52,479
Speaker 5: defense like this lockdown unit that we've seen in years past. Yeah,

1790
01:31:52,479 --> 01:31:56,559
Speaker 5: And that's what scares me because just like in the NHL,

1791
01:31:56,960 --> 01:31:59,679
Speaker 5: a hot goalie can carry a team that has.

1792
01:31:59,600 --> 01:32:01,760
Speaker 4: A worse roster through the playoffs.

1793
01:32:01,840 --> 01:32:05,599
Speaker 5: Yep, right now, Jordan Love has the hot hand, and

1794
01:32:06,120 --> 01:32:08,960
Speaker 5: that is scary to me if you're going up against

1795
01:32:09,000 --> 01:32:12,120
Speaker 5: the defense that, again, on surface level, looks good, but

1796
01:32:12,160 --> 01:32:13,920
Speaker 5: when you dig into some of the numbers, some of

1797
01:32:13,920 --> 01:32:16,800
Speaker 5: the things Green Bay does well the Niners struggle with.

1798
01:32:17,280 --> 01:32:20,759
Speaker 5: So you're right, mistake like, yeah, no, duh turnovers? Whoever

1799
01:32:20,760 --> 01:32:22,519
Speaker 5: turns it over more, it's probably gonna lose this game.

1800
01:32:22,680 --> 01:32:25,000
Speaker 5: But I do think that I don't think this is

1801
01:32:25,040 --> 01:32:27,040
Speaker 5: just a runaway in terms of scheme, like I do

1802
01:32:27,080 --> 01:32:30,080
Speaker 5: think the Packers offense can have some success here if

1803
01:32:30,160 --> 01:32:33,439
Speaker 5: Jordan Love can continue to play well with the hot hand.

1804
01:32:33,880 --> 01:32:37,400
Speaker 2: That's one of the more simplistic ways I look at

1805
01:32:37,400 --> 01:32:42,160
Speaker 2: this game, where if we just look at the turnover margin, right, yeah,

1806
01:32:42,240 --> 01:32:47,559
Speaker 2: if if the Packers lose the turnover battle, they have

1807
01:32:48,080 --> 01:32:51,880
Speaker 2: no chance done And I hate saying that, but it's true.

1808
01:32:52,000 --> 01:32:55,559
Speaker 2: If the Niners lose the turnover battle, the Packers might

1809
01:32:55,600 --> 01:32:58,880
Speaker 2: have a chance. I mean, that's that's what it is.

1810
01:32:59,000 --> 01:33:05,040
Speaker 2: Like they're ten point, yeah, so if you got to

1811
01:33:05,120 --> 01:33:07,880
Speaker 2: do that, You've got to not lose the turnover battle

1812
01:33:07,920 --> 01:33:10,879
Speaker 2: if you're the Packers to have a chance at winning,

1813
01:33:11,000 --> 01:33:14,240
Speaker 2: Which just shows you how up against it you truly

1814
01:33:14,320 --> 01:33:16,080
Speaker 2: are in a matchup like this.

1815
01:33:16,240 --> 01:33:18,920
Speaker 5: That's where upsets in this round don't happen very often,

1816
01:33:19,160 --> 01:33:23,360
Speaker 5: well not big ten point like it's rare. It's only

1817
01:33:23,400 --> 01:33:25,479
Speaker 5: happened I think once or twice double digit upset wins

1818
01:33:25,479 --> 01:33:26,559
Speaker 5: out right in the divisional round.

1819
01:33:26,800 --> 01:33:29,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't. I don't know about you guys, but

1820
01:33:29,120 --> 01:33:32,320
Speaker 2: real fast, I don't view the Texans Ravens matchup the

1821
01:33:32,360 --> 01:33:36,360
Speaker 2: same way. Where not at all? Right, Like if the Texans,

1822
01:33:37,000 --> 01:33:40,320
Speaker 2: if they lose the turnover battle, that's probably gonna doom them.

1823
01:33:40,320 --> 01:33:43,439
Speaker 2: But I wouldn't say no chance, know how, And if

1824
01:33:43,439 --> 01:33:47,960
Speaker 2: the Ravens win the turnover battle, I mean that the

1825
01:33:47,960 --> 01:33:50,559
Speaker 2: odds are likely that they win the game. I don't

1826
01:33:50,560 --> 01:33:53,360
Speaker 2: think it's a slam dunk. I think it's an absolute

1827
01:33:53,479 --> 01:33:55,760
Speaker 2: slam dunk. If the Niners win the turnover battle, they

1828
01:33:55,800 --> 01:33:56,320
Speaker 2: win the game.

1829
01:33:56,360 --> 01:33:58,000
Speaker 3: And I know we're up against it, and I know

1830
01:33:58,040 --> 01:34:01,040
Speaker 3: that that, Jared, you feel very different only about this game,

1831
01:34:01,200 --> 01:34:04,599
Speaker 3: and and for good reason. There's no question you've studied

1832
01:34:04,600 --> 01:34:09,120
Speaker 3: this hard. But it comes down to, probably too simplistically,

1833
01:34:09,240 --> 01:34:13,160
Speaker 3: one sentence for me, who do you trust more, Brock

1834
01:34:13,280 --> 01:34:18,440
Speaker 3: Purdy against the Packers or Lamar Jackson against Amika Ryans Texans.

1835
01:34:18,160 --> 01:34:21,759
Speaker 4: D trust Lamar was the last time they just played

1836
01:34:21,800 --> 01:34:23,800
Speaker 4: three weeks ago. Lamar wiped the flour with them.

1837
01:34:24,160 --> 01:34:24,800
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1838
01:34:24,960 --> 01:34:28,479
Speaker 3: Again, one game does not make a seion, right. You're

1839
01:34:28,840 --> 01:34:31,840
Speaker 3: difficult to beat the same team twice, you know it's

1840
01:34:32,000 --> 01:34:34,320
Speaker 3: uh and and maybe that sounds.

1841
01:34:33,960 --> 01:34:36,640
Speaker 4: Creating on Lamar man, He's gonna shove it up all

1842
01:34:36,680 --> 01:34:37,760
Speaker 4: your focuses today.

1843
01:34:40,640 --> 01:34:48,479
Speaker 2: It's got real, got real, he this game. We might

1844
01:34:48,520 --> 01:34:50,760
Speaker 2: get to that coming up next here. Huh. We got

1845
01:34:50,840 --> 01:34:55,160
Speaker 2: rich Oinberger Penn stayed all American. We've got rich uh Rich,

1846
01:34:55,439 --> 01:35:00,519
Speaker 2: We've got Jared Smith FSR betting analyst and uh Lamar back.

1847
01:35:00,760 --> 01:35:03,439
Speaker 2: I was gonna say fanboy, but that sounds oh both

1848
01:35:04,479 --> 01:35:06,479
Speaker 2: really Okay? I love Lamar today.

1849
01:35:06,560 --> 01:35:08,519
Speaker 4: Come on, I've been counting the Ravens all week. I

1850
01:35:08,560 --> 01:35:09,880
Speaker 4: look like an idiot if he plays bad.

1851
01:35:10,160 --> 01:35:13,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm Brian Nol coming up next. Can this guy

1852
01:35:14,560 --> 01:35:18,519
Speaker 2: buck the trend? It is Fox Sports Radios Countdown to Kickoff,

1853
01:35:18,800 --> 01:35:22,559
Speaker 2: presented by bet MGM. It is Fox Sports Radios Countdown

1854
01:35:22,560 --> 01:35:27,679
Speaker 2: to Kickoff presented by bet MGM. Okay, we get things

1855
01:35:27,720 --> 01:35:33,120
Speaker 2: started here four thirty Eastern time today, Texans at the

1856
01:35:33,160 --> 01:35:37,160
Speaker 2: Baltimore Ravens. Can this guy buck the trend? That is

1857
01:35:37,439 --> 01:35:43,679
Speaker 2: Lamar Jackson one in three in the playoffs, that's his record.

1858
01:35:44,240 --> 01:35:47,320
Speaker 2: All eyes on him. He's gonna be the two time

1859
01:35:47,479 --> 01:35:51,360
Speaker 2: MVP after this season, gonna win it a second time

1860
01:35:51,400 --> 01:35:54,640
Speaker 2: in his career. But the postseason numbers are not flattering.

1861
01:35:55,400 --> 01:35:58,320
Speaker 2: In each loss, he's completed less than sixty percent of

1862
01:35:58,320 --> 01:36:04,320
Speaker 2: his passes, collect actively three touchdown passes, five interceptions QBR

1863
01:36:04,439 --> 01:36:08,440
Speaker 2: isn't good at all. Like these numbers are not flattering whatsoever,

1864
01:36:09,320 --> 01:36:13,280
Speaker 2: and so bucking the trend is on the to do

1865
01:36:13,360 --> 01:36:18,160
Speaker 2: list for Lamar Jackson here today and look, man, they

1866
01:36:18,160 --> 01:36:21,080
Speaker 2: were a one seed, they were fourteen and two in

1867
01:36:21,120 --> 01:36:24,880
Speaker 2: his first MVP season. They lost to the Titans. I

1868
01:36:24,920 --> 01:36:27,840
Speaker 2: think that's gonna make life a lot more difficult for

1869
01:36:27,920 --> 01:36:32,240
Speaker 2: the Texans. When it's happened before, it's another thing to

1870
01:36:32,320 --> 01:36:36,360
Speaker 2: do it again, right, So I think that works against

1871
01:36:36,439 --> 01:36:41,840
Speaker 2: the Texans. But Lamar playing mistake free football at least

1872
01:36:41,880 --> 01:36:45,160
Speaker 2: avoiding the big turnover that sort of thing. And can

1873
01:36:45,200 --> 01:36:48,360
Speaker 2: we see the brilliance of Lamar. He's gonna be a

1874
01:36:48,400 --> 01:36:52,320
Speaker 2: two time MVP, and you wonder walking into this, at

1875
01:36:52,400 --> 01:36:55,000
Speaker 2: least I do, what's he gonna look like compared to

1876
01:36:55,040 --> 01:36:57,519
Speaker 2: what he has looked like in the postseason. I don't

1877
01:36:57,520 --> 01:37:00,000
Speaker 2: think that's a hater question at all. Heading into the

1878
01:37:00,240 --> 01:37:01,200
Speaker 2: game today.

1879
01:37:01,040 --> 01:37:04,080
Speaker 3: I don't think it's a hater question. I think when

1880
01:37:04,120 --> 01:37:07,640
Speaker 3: you just attach wins and losses to a quarterback in

1881
01:37:07,680 --> 01:37:11,360
Speaker 3: the postseason, it can look like straight up hate, especially

1882
01:37:11,360 --> 01:37:15,320
Speaker 3: if the numbers represent something else. But Lamar Jackson has

1883
01:37:15,360 --> 01:37:17,760
Speaker 3: been part of the problem for the Baltimore Ravens in

1884
01:37:17,800 --> 01:37:23,719
Speaker 3: the postseason and not excluding last postseason. I mean, I'm

1885
01:37:23,800 --> 01:37:26,280
Speaker 3: never going to doubt a player for not playing on

1886
01:37:26,320 --> 01:37:29,080
Speaker 3: an injury unless that player gives you reason a doubt.

1887
01:37:29,479 --> 01:37:32,839
Speaker 3: Lamar Jackson I believe to be a very, very tough athlete,

1888
01:37:32,920 --> 01:37:37,479
Speaker 3: and I understand that this was not just an injury decision,

1889
01:37:37,560 --> 01:37:40,719
Speaker 3: but also a business decision, and he secured the bag

1890
01:37:41,800 --> 01:37:44,240
Speaker 3: as a result of maybe sitting out that game and

1891
01:37:44,280 --> 01:37:48,160
Speaker 3: allowing Tyler Huntley to start against the Cincinnati Bengals, who,

1892
01:37:48,160 --> 01:37:51,240
Speaker 3: by the way, almost beat the Cincinnati Bengals if it

1893
01:37:51,280 --> 01:37:55,840
Speaker 3: weren't for a fumball near the goal line. But Lamar

1894
01:37:55,920 --> 01:37:58,160
Speaker 3: Jackson is not produced for this team in the postseason,

1895
01:37:58,560 --> 01:38:01,760
Speaker 3: like not even close to the gaudy numbers he puts

1896
01:38:01,840 --> 01:38:05,000
Speaker 3: up in the regular season. And it's been mistakes. Also.

1897
01:38:05,240 --> 01:38:09,800
Speaker 3: It hasn't just been like lack of production or completion percentage,

1898
01:38:09,840 --> 01:38:14,000
Speaker 3: which he has been able to overcome during the regular

1899
01:38:14,040 --> 01:38:18,000
Speaker 3: season at times because he's he's you know, he's just

1900
01:38:18,080 --> 01:38:20,000
Speaker 3: so dynamic athletically.

1901
01:38:20,439 --> 01:38:21,759
Speaker 2: But he's thrown picks.

1902
01:38:22,080 --> 01:38:26,599
Speaker 3: He's fumbled the ball five times in his postseason appearance.

1903
01:38:26,600 --> 01:38:29,120
Speaker 3: He's only lost two. But he's not careful with the

1904
01:38:29,120 --> 01:38:31,720
Speaker 3: football on the postseason. And I'm not saying it's just

1905
01:38:31,800 --> 01:38:34,839
Speaker 3: limited to the postseason. These things happen throughout the season,

1906
01:38:35,040 --> 01:38:38,679
Speaker 3: but it feels like it's concentrated in the postseason. He's

1907
01:38:38,720 --> 01:38:41,840
Speaker 3: got five interceptions to his name to three touchdowns in

1908
01:38:41,880 --> 01:38:44,920
Speaker 3: the postseason. He has five fumbles too, lost in the postseason.

1909
01:38:45,200 --> 01:38:47,720
Speaker 3: When you're that careless with the football, when you have

1910
01:38:47,800 --> 01:38:51,559
Speaker 3: the hopes and the dreams of the entire organization in

1911
01:38:51,600 --> 01:38:54,880
Speaker 3: your hands, and you're that careless in the postseason, it's

1912
01:38:54,880 --> 01:38:57,559
Speaker 3: a big problem. So he's got a lot of fixing

1913
01:38:57,640 --> 01:38:59,600
Speaker 3: to do, and he's got to do it against the

1914
01:38:59,680 --> 01:39:03,680
Speaker 3: Houston Texans this week, Who's a formidable challenge because we

1915
01:39:03,800 --> 01:39:06,040
Speaker 3: just saw what the Houston Texans can do to you

1916
01:39:06,080 --> 01:39:09,000
Speaker 3: in a hurry if you give them some opportunities against

1917
01:39:09,000 --> 01:39:09,960
Speaker 3: the Browns last week.

1918
01:39:10,560 --> 01:39:12,880
Speaker 5: He hasn't played a playoff game though in three years.

1919
01:39:13,080 --> 01:39:17,120
Speaker 5: It's true the twenty twenty regular season. I mean, think

1920
01:39:17,160 --> 01:39:21,920
Speaker 5: about how different everything is in the NFL over the

1921
01:39:22,000 --> 01:39:26,040
Speaker 5: last three years, and the development of a quarterback in

1922
01:39:26,080 --> 01:39:26,639
Speaker 5: that time.

1923
01:39:27,040 --> 01:39:27,760
Speaker 4: And to put it in.

1924
01:39:27,760 --> 01:39:32,320
Speaker 5: Perspective, even Week one of this season, when they played

1925
01:39:32,360 --> 01:39:35,840
Speaker 5: the Texans one by sixteen covered the spread. By the way,

1926
01:39:35,840 --> 01:39:37,320
Speaker 5: the spread was the same, it was about nine and

1927
01:39:37,360 --> 01:39:39,160
Speaker 5: a half ten and the total was about forty three

1928
01:39:39,200 --> 01:39:44,440
Speaker 5: and a half. The amount of evolution in the Ravens

1929
01:39:44,560 --> 01:39:48,639
Speaker 5: offense with a new offensive coordinator, a rookie receiver who

1930
01:39:48,720 --> 01:39:50,599
Speaker 5: is one of the best in the league, Jay Flowers,

1931
01:39:50,640 --> 01:39:53,120
Speaker 5: Odell Beckham, who's won a Super Bowl, probably would have

1932
01:39:53,160 --> 01:39:55,000
Speaker 5: been the Super Bowl MVP two years ago if he

1933
01:39:55,000 --> 01:39:58,680
Speaker 5: doesn't tear his ACL And then just the overall evolution

1934
01:39:58,760 --> 01:40:02,639
Speaker 5: of a quarter in a three year stretch. For us

1935
01:40:02,680 --> 01:40:08,000
Speaker 5: to go back and really micro manage a four game

1936
01:40:08,080 --> 01:40:12,439
Speaker 5: playoff sample from three plus years ago is not it.

1937
01:40:12,720 --> 01:40:15,559
Speaker 5: I just I don't and I don't think analyzing those

1938
01:40:15,600 --> 01:40:18,759
Speaker 5: playoff games and trying to take something from those games

1939
01:40:18,760 --> 01:40:22,200
Speaker 5: and apply it to this game is a sound handicap.

1940
01:40:22,280 --> 01:40:23,559
Speaker 4: The Ravens offense is.

1941
01:40:23,640 --> 01:40:27,719
Speaker 5: So much different than it was in the twenty twenty

1942
01:40:27,800 --> 01:40:31,320
Speaker 5: regular season with Markquise Brown as the best receiver on

1943
01:40:31,360 --> 01:40:34,639
Speaker 5: the team. Like I just I think it's a tough,

1944
01:40:34,960 --> 01:40:36,240
Speaker 5: tough comparison.

1945
01:40:36,640 --> 01:40:38,240
Speaker 4: You want to make the case that CJ.

1946
01:40:38,400 --> 01:40:43,320
Speaker 5: Stroud has evolved way past our wildest expectations and he

1947
01:40:43,400 --> 01:40:45,360
Speaker 5: is in a better position to win this game than

1948
01:40:45,360 --> 01:40:47,479
Speaker 5: he was in Week one. I can make I can

1949
01:40:47,520 --> 01:40:51,240
Speaker 5: get there, I can get to that point. I can't

1950
01:40:51,280 --> 01:40:53,479
Speaker 5: get to the point where, oh yeah, that Lamar Jackson

1951
01:40:53,520 --> 01:40:57,439
Speaker 5: playoff game from the twenty twenty regular season has any

1952
01:40:57,479 --> 01:40:59,920
Speaker 5: impact on this game today, because the Ravens and lam

1953
01:41:00,120 --> 01:41:05,200
Speaker 5: a completely different player today and the offense is incredibly

1954
01:41:05,200 --> 01:41:08,320
Speaker 5: evolved under Monkin than it was three years ago.

1955
01:41:08,760 --> 01:41:11,799
Speaker 2: I don't know, man, It's one of these things. Granted,

1956
01:41:11,840 --> 01:41:14,880
Speaker 2: if we go back the playoff game three years ago,

1957
01:41:15,040 --> 01:41:18,800
Speaker 2: that is a long time. And Lamar give him his flowers.

1958
01:41:18,800 --> 01:41:22,320
Speaker 2: This year he had a very strong season. But you

1959
01:41:22,360 --> 01:41:24,599
Speaker 2: look at the previous two seasons, if you look at

1960
01:41:24,640 --> 01:41:28,679
Speaker 2: just that three year clump, right, So the two previous

1961
01:41:28,760 --> 01:41:33,000
Speaker 2: seasons before this year, thirty three touchdown passes, twenty picks.

1962
01:41:33,439 --> 01:41:36,280
Speaker 2: You know who had thirty four touchdown passes and twenty

1963
01:41:36,320 --> 01:41:41,920
Speaker 2: picks in that span, Ryan Tannehill, Okay, Lamar for the

1964
01:41:41,960 --> 01:41:46,719
Speaker 2: two years Todd Munkin. Yeah he was in the coldest

1965
01:41:46,720 --> 01:41:49,880
Speaker 2: sack of Tannehill, all right. Yeah, the same zip code

1966
01:41:50,200 --> 01:41:52,840
Speaker 2: over there. So I didn't forget about all that stuff either.

1967
01:41:53,360 --> 01:41:56,520
Speaker 2: And yeah, this offense with Todd Munkin and the personnel,

1968
01:41:56,800 --> 01:42:00,960
Speaker 2: it's better. But this is no juggern This isn't like

1969
01:42:01,000 --> 01:42:04,240
Speaker 2: they've got Jamar Chase and t Higgins out there, you

1970
01:42:04,280 --> 01:42:07,400
Speaker 2: know what I mean. Like they're good, but we can't

1971
01:42:07,439 --> 01:42:11,000
Speaker 2: act like they're unstoppable or something like that. And yeah,

1972
01:42:11,160 --> 01:42:12,760
Speaker 2: it does seem like you got to take a hot

1973
01:42:12,800 --> 01:42:15,400
Speaker 2: tub time machine back to the last playoff appearance for

1974
01:42:15,520 --> 01:42:18,840
Speaker 2: Lamar Jackson. But I guarantee you this, he remembers it.

1975
01:42:19,360 --> 01:42:21,439
Speaker 2: I guarantee you this. He's got a lot to prove

1976
01:42:21,960 --> 01:42:25,680
Speaker 2: today against the Texans, and if he does struggle a

1977
01:42:25,720 --> 01:42:29,200
Speaker 2: bit early on, I know he's a very confident guy.

1978
01:42:29,240 --> 01:42:32,360
Speaker 2: He's a human being. You can't help but think I

1979
01:42:32,920 --> 01:42:35,720
Speaker 2: gotta get this right right? Does he start to press like?

1980
01:42:35,840 --> 01:42:39,120
Speaker 2: All of those are legitimate questions. I don't think that

1981
01:42:39,240 --> 01:42:43,800
Speaker 2: you've separated like he separated himself from the playoff track

1982
01:42:43,840 --> 01:42:46,200
Speaker 2: record just because it was a handful of years ago.

1983
01:42:46,560 --> 01:42:49,160
Speaker 2: He knows that's a gigantic hurdle in front of him

1984
01:42:49,360 --> 01:42:51,680
Speaker 2: that he's got to jump over. You can't be a

1985
01:42:51,720 --> 01:42:55,360
Speaker 2: two time MVP and have a one in four playoff record.

1986
01:42:55,720 --> 01:42:59,400
Speaker 2: That pressure is real, and although he's evolved in this offense,

1987
01:42:59,520 --> 01:43:02,880
Speaker 2: has that pressure is still there and could come back

1988
01:43:02,920 --> 01:43:04,200
Speaker 2: to bite him in a game like this.

1989
01:43:04,800 --> 01:43:07,639
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, And Jared, to your point, I think

1990
01:43:07,680 --> 01:43:11,519
Speaker 3: it is fair. You can't rate the entirety of your

1991
01:43:11,520 --> 01:43:17,960
Speaker 3: handicap on just his playoff appearances, and you also, in fairness,

1992
01:43:18,040 --> 01:43:20,200
Speaker 3: can't rate what he's going to do in the playoff

1993
01:43:20,280 --> 01:43:22,879
Speaker 3: based on what he's done in the regular season, Otherwise

1994
01:43:22,920 --> 01:43:25,599
Speaker 3: we would all have a very different opinion of Dak

1995
01:43:25,640 --> 01:43:29,760
Speaker 3: Prescott today. Sure, you know, so there is a separator.

1996
01:43:30,200 --> 01:43:32,800
Speaker 3: You know, there are players who are clutch, they have

1997
01:43:32,960 --> 01:43:36,280
Speaker 3: the gene. You know Tom Brady was he a phenomenal athlete.

1998
01:43:36,320 --> 01:43:38,640
Speaker 3: Absolutely not, that guy can't run out of site in

1999
01:43:38,680 --> 01:43:43,719
Speaker 3: a week. But he's got this unbelievable coolness under pressure

2000
01:43:43,760 --> 01:43:47,320
Speaker 3: that Navy seals low heartbeat stuff where you know, the

2001
01:43:47,439 --> 01:43:50,360
Speaker 3: door blasts open and you're rushing into the room for

2002
01:43:50,400 --> 01:43:53,320
Speaker 3: whatever reason. Some people can operate in those high stress

2003
01:43:53,400 --> 01:43:56,559
Speaker 3: moments and others can't. Now I understand the stakes are

2004
01:43:56,640 --> 01:43:59,880
Speaker 3: much lower on a football field, but that idea of

2005
01:44:00,720 --> 01:44:06,120
Speaker 3: everything counts on this decision, Everything counts on your next decision,

2006
01:44:06,240 --> 01:44:09,800
Speaker 3: everything counts on your decision after that, And if one

2007
01:44:09,920 --> 01:44:14,440
Speaker 3: of those decisions goes poorly, it's either going to potentially

2008
01:44:14,520 --> 01:44:17,599
Speaker 3: cascade into a bigger problem that you won't be able

2009
01:44:17,640 --> 01:44:19,680
Speaker 3: to fix, or it's gonna dig you a hole that

2010
01:44:19,720 --> 01:44:22,240
Speaker 3: you absolutely are gonna have to find your way out of.

2011
01:44:22,760 --> 01:44:25,920
Speaker 3: And Lamar Jackson when he gets into that sort of

2012
01:44:25,960 --> 01:44:30,080
Speaker 3: trouble in big games, and we've seen this before, really

2013
01:44:30,080 --> 01:44:33,240
Speaker 3: struggles to either dig himself out or not make the

2014
01:44:33,320 --> 01:44:38,200
Speaker 3: problem worse by cascading the situation, by trying to force things. Now,

2015
01:44:38,720 --> 01:44:41,439
Speaker 3: could it be much different under Todd Mnkett. You're absolutely right.

2016
01:44:41,960 --> 01:44:45,400
Speaker 3: You're absolutely right. It absolutely could, And frankly, I hope

2017
01:44:45,439 --> 01:44:48,439
Speaker 3: it is. Because I'm a big Lamar Jackson fan. I

2018
01:44:48,600 --> 01:44:51,519
Speaker 3: just know that what my eyes have shown me in

2019
01:44:51,560 --> 01:44:54,720
Speaker 3: the past in the postseason is that he's missing that

2020
01:44:54,840 --> 01:44:58,799
Speaker 3: clutch gene. Now, I'm not saying you can't fix that.

2021
01:44:59,120 --> 01:45:01,040
Speaker 3: I do believe it. It's something you can work on.

2022
01:45:01,160 --> 01:45:04,080
Speaker 3: I think the more time you spend in those situations,

2023
01:45:04,120 --> 01:45:06,559
Speaker 3: the more experience you have in those situations. For some,

2024
01:45:07,280 --> 01:45:09,920
Speaker 3: the better you get. But for others the die is

2025
01:45:10,080 --> 01:45:13,240
Speaker 3: cast and they just can't seem to get over that hump.

2026
01:45:13,560 --> 01:45:15,479
Speaker 3: This game is going to tell us a lot about

2027
01:45:15,520 --> 01:45:18,240
Speaker 3: who Lamar Jackson is as a quarterback, as a winner

2028
01:45:18,280 --> 01:45:18,920
Speaker 3: in this league.

2029
01:45:19,240 --> 01:45:23,280
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think there's a couple of things, right. What

2030
01:45:23,439 --> 01:45:25,759
Speaker 5: is if you guys had to think back the most

2031
01:45:25,760 --> 01:45:30,240
Speaker 5: impressive game performance data point from like the last six

2032
01:45:30,280 --> 01:45:34,600
Speaker 5: weeks of the season, in any game, any team, any quarterback,

2033
01:45:34,640 --> 01:45:37,760
Speaker 5: any situation, what's the first game that comes to mind?

2034
01:45:37,840 --> 01:45:39,080
Speaker 4: Like this was the game.

2035
01:45:39,160 --> 01:45:40,639
Speaker 3: It's over the nineties, yep.

2036
01:45:41,439 --> 01:45:45,759
Speaker 5: And by the way, the spot the following week after

2037
01:45:45,840 --> 01:45:48,639
Speaker 5: a short week on the road in San Francisco, then

2038
01:45:48,680 --> 01:45:52,599
Speaker 5: they go back home and face the Dolphins and what

2039
01:45:52,840 --> 01:45:55,000
Speaker 5: that was a terrible spot for the Ravens.

2040
01:45:55,400 --> 01:45:57,360
Speaker 4: Awful spot coming off of.

2041
01:45:57,280 --> 01:46:00,880
Speaker 5: The best win of the whole year on a short now,

2042
01:46:00,920 --> 01:46:03,439
Speaker 5: going back home and having to face Miami.

2043
01:46:03,720 --> 01:46:04,840
Speaker 4: What happened in that game?

2044
01:46:05,400 --> 01:46:09,680
Speaker 5: So I just think the clutch gene like maybe a

2045
01:46:09,720 --> 01:46:11,920
Speaker 5: few years ago, Lamar didn't understand how to win in

2046
01:46:11,960 --> 01:46:15,000
Speaker 5: the playoffs. What have we seen this year when the

2047
01:46:15,040 --> 01:46:19,400
Speaker 5: stakes have been highest from this Ravens offense. And I'm

2048
01:46:19,400 --> 01:46:21,320
Speaker 5: not saying just because it happened a couple weeks ago

2049
01:46:21,320 --> 01:46:23,479
Speaker 5: against the Dolphins and the Niners, it's gonna happen again.

2050
01:46:23,560 --> 01:46:26,519
Speaker 5: But they keep showing us who they are over the

2051
01:46:26,560 --> 01:46:29,160
Speaker 5: last month of the year. Are we gonna believe them

2052
01:46:29,240 --> 01:46:31,439
Speaker 5: or are we gonna revert back to twenty twenty? Lamar,

2053
01:46:31,880 --> 01:46:34,120
Speaker 5: I'm gonna believe them. Maybe I'm gonna give him the

2054
01:46:34,120 --> 01:46:36,080
Speaker 5: benefit of the doubt. Maybe I'll be wrong, just like

2055
01:46:36,120 --> 01:46:38,920
Speaker 5: I was wrong about the Browns last week. But really

2056
01:46:38,920 --> 01:46:41,000
Speaker 5: hard to make the case that over the last month

2057
01:46:41,160 --> 01:46:44,040
Speaker 5: the Ravens haven't been clutch. I mean, come on, guys,

2058
01:46:44,120 --> 01:46:47,479
Speaker 5: like that is a crazy take, and I think this

2059
01:46:47,560 --> 01:46:50,920
Speaker 5: is a Ravens offense the last two weeks. Everything I've

2060
01:46:50,920 --> 01:46:55,439
Speaker 5: read John Arbaugh, we are treating this like it is

2061
01:46:55,479 --> 01:46:57,840
Speaker 5: a regular game. We're not taking a vacation because it's

2062
01:46:57,840 --> 01:47:00,640
Speaker 5: the bye week. We are in pads, we are pounding it,

2063
01:47:00,840 --> 01:47:02,559
Speaker 5: we are getting after it in practice.

2064
01:47:02,600 --> 01:47:04,080
Speaker 4: Like I just, I don't know.

2065
01:47:04,240 --> 01:47:07,200
Speaker 5: I think of the two games today, I really think

2066
01:47:07,240 --> 01:47:10,200
Speaker 5: the Ravens have the better blowout potential than the Niners do.

2067
01:47:10,360 --> 01:47:12,320
Speaker 5: Maybe that's the wrong take, and I'll wear it next

2068
01:47:12,360 --> 01:47:15,400
Speaker 5: week if I'm wrong. But I just see Baltimore as

2069
01:47:15,439 --> 01:47:17,759
Speaker 5: a little bit of a more of a well oiled

2070
01:47:17,800 --> 01:47:20,479
Speaker 5: machine right now than I do a lot of other

2071
01:47:20,520 --> 01:47:21,400
Speaker 5: teams in this spot.

2072
01:47:21,760 --> 01:47:24,120
Speaker 2: Well, I'll give you a nugget, But when you speak

2073
01:47:24,120 --> 01:47:29,280
Speaker 2: of well oiled machines, I mean goodness, how could I

2074
01:47:29,400 --> 01:47:33,120
Speaker 2: look that transition in the eye and say, no, no, no,

2075
01:47:33,520 --> 01:47:36,120
Speaker 2: let me give you something else on lamar I can't.

2076
01:47:36,640 --> 01:47:39,760
Speaker 2: When you talk about well oiled machines. There is a

2077
01:47:39,800 --> 01:47:42,639
Speaker 2: man who is the definition of that, and his name

2078
01:47:42,720 --> 01:47:45,280
Speaker 2: is Isaac Lowenkron, He's got the latest, Ie low what

2079
01:47:45,360 --> 01:47:45,800
Speaker 2: is going on?

2080
01:47:46,600 --> 01:47:50,599
Speaker 8: And hopefully that well oiled machine will not knock over

2081
01:47:50,680 --> 01:47:55,639
Speaker 8: his coffee cup on live radio like he did earlier

2082
01:47:55,880 --> 01:47:58,479
Speaker 8: this morning. So we'll cross our fingers as well. Begin

2083
01:47:58,520 --> 01:48:01,200
Speaker 8: by running down what happit of the on Friday night.

2084
01:48:01,280 --> 01:48:04,360
Speaker 8: Is the Brooklyn Nets defeeding the Lakers in LA one

2085
01:48:04,520 --> 01:48:07,519
Speaker 8: thirty to one twelve. The Lakers now just twenty one

2086
01:48:07,640 --> 01:48:11,200
Speaker 8: and twenty two overall Denver with a one to two

2087
01:48:11,240 --> 01:48:14,280
Speaker 8: to one hundred victory at Boston, breaking the Celtics twenty

2088
01:48:14,439 --> 01:48:18,519
Speaker 8: seven game home winning streak, including twenty to zero this year.

2089
01:48:19,080 --> 01:48:22,519
Speaker 8: Phoenix's Devin Booker scored fifty two points in just thirty

2090
01:48:22,600 --> 01:48:24,800
Speaker 8: seven minutes and their one twenty three one to oh

2091
01:48:24,920 --> 01:48:28,360
Speaker 8: nine win at New Orleans and Atlanta's de Jonte Murray

2092
01:48:28,360 --> 01:48:30,559
Speaker 8: at the game winning three pointer with two seconds to

2093
01:48:30,600 --> 01:48:33,080
Speaker 8: play to give them a one oh nine, one toweight

2094
01:48:33,160 --> 01:48:37,679
Speaker 8: victory over the Miami Heat. NFL Media reports the Detroit

2095
01:48:37,760 --> 01:48:42,160
Speaker 8: Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson will have head coaching interviews

2096
01:48:42,160 --> 01:48:47,240
Speaker 8: today with the Falcons, Seahawks and Chargers. Lions defensive coordinator

2097
01:48:47,320 --> 01:48:50,400
Speaker 8: Aaron Glenn will have head coaching interviews today with the

2098
01:48:50,479 --> 01:48:55,639
Speaker 8: Commanders and Chargers, while Rams defensive coordinator Raheem Morris will

2099
01:48:55,680 --> 01:49:00,519
Speaker 8: also have a head coaching interview today with the Chargers. Finally, Fellas,

2100
01:49:01,240 --> 01:49:07,080
Speaker 8: Baltimore Ravens fans want Ravens defensive coordinator Mike McDonald to

2101
01:49:07,160 --> 01:49:11,920
Speaker 8: stay so badly that they are actually actively attempting to

2102
01:49:12,200 --> 01:49:17,120
Speaker 8: sabotage his head coaching prospects by slandering him to the

2103
01:49:17,400 --> 01:49:21,400
Speaker 8: Twitter accounts of the teams that have been interviewing him.

2104
01:49:21,680 --> 01:49:26,439
Speaker 8: Raven fan Calvin posting and I quote Mike McDonald is

2105
01:49:26,560 --> 01:49:30,680
Speaker 8: notorious for leaving his shopping carts in open spots in

2106
01:49:30,760 --> 01:49:31,559
Speaker 8: the parking lot.

2107
01:49:31,960 --> 01:49:34,120
Speaker 7: He is not head coach material.

2108
01:49:34,600 --> 01:49:39,719
Speaker 8: Ravens fan Tea posting Mike McDonald gives out baby carrots

2109
01:49:39,800 --> 01:49:45,759
Speaker 8: on Halloween, and Ravens fan Mason posting, Mike drives solo

2110
01:49:46,000 --> 01:49:49,640
Speaker 8: in the HOV lane. He is a horrible person and

2111
01:49:49,720 --> 01:49:53,040
Speaker 8: you should not consider him. Let the Ravens have to

2112
01:49:53,080 --> 01:49:58,600
Speaker 8: deal with him. Unquote a backheaded compliment, but compliments nonetheless,

2113
01:49:58,640 --> 01:50:00,479

2121
01:50:20,320 --> 01:50:22,599
Speaker 2: posted right after we get off the air. Okay, twenty

2122
01:50:22,600 --> 01:50:24,960
Speaker 2: four second shot clock for each of us. We gotta

2123
01:50:25,000 --> 01:50:29,400
Speaker 2: go fast. I would just say about Lamar, the Ravens

2124
01:50:29,439 --> 01:50:33,040
Speaker 2: have smacked teams all season, to good teams like some

2125
01:50:33,080 --> 01:50:36,360
Speaker 2: of these playoff teams. They smacked the Niners, they smacked

2126
01:50:36,920 --> 01:50:40,120
Speaker 2: the Lions in Week one, they smacked the Texans their

2127
01:50:40,120 --> 01:50:43,519
Speaker 2: opponent today. They have beaten the best that the NFL

2128
01:50:43,600 --> 01:50:48,200
Speaker 2: has to offer, and handily. So if you think that's

2129
01:50:48,240 --> 01:50:51,320
Speaker 2: the clutch gene, okay, But the way I look at it,

2130
01:50:51,600 --> 01:50:54,920
Speaker 2: there's a difference between regular season and postseason. They have

2131
01:50:55,040 --> 01:50:57,880
Speaker 2: two different names for a reason. And I am not

2132
01:50:57,960 --> 01:51:02,240
Speaker 2: going to check the box of clutch because of Week ten.

2133
01:51:02,280 --> 01:51:02,880
Speaker 3: You know what I mean.

2134
01:51:02,960 --> 01:51:06,120
Speaker 2: I'm gonna check that box because of the AFC title game,

2135
01:51:06,160 --> 01:51:08,960
Speaker 2: because of the Super Bowl, the divisional round of the playoffs.

2136
01:51:09,160 --> 01:51:11,960
Speaker 2: It has to be that and that's the box that

2137
01:51:12,080 --> 01:51:14,040
Speaker 2: Lamar hasn't checked yet.

2138
01:51:14,560 --> 01:51:18,160
Speaker 3: I love what Lamar did on the road against the

2139
01:51:18,200 --> 01:51:21,080
Speaker 3: San Francisco forty nine ers. I thought that was a

2140
01:51:21,120 --> 01:51:25,000
Speaker 3: big win, primetime win, a big stage, and a nice

2141
01:51:25,760 --> 01:51:28,960
Speaker 3: table set for the postseason. However, I really didn't like

2142
01:51:29,040 --> 01:51:32,000
Speaker 3: the choice by John harbaud arrest Lamar Jackson in the

2143
01:51:32,160 --> 01:51:37,040
Speaker 3: entirety of the important offensive and defensive starters in the

2144
01:51:37,080 --> 01:51:40,160
Speaker 3: final game against Pittsburgh. I don't think it's good for

2145
01:51:40,280 --> 01:51:43,120
Speaker 3: players to get out of the mindset of hey, every week,

2146
01:51:43,160 --> 01:51:45,800
Speaker 3: we're preparing for battle, and even if you were going

2147
01:51:45,840 --> 01:51:48,400
Speaker 3: to limit the exposure. Now, I know the other side

2148
01:51:48,439 --> 01:51:50,680
Speaker 3: of that coin is what if somebody gets hurt? But

2149
01:51:50,800 --> 01:51:53,479
Speaker 3: I think that that mentality can wan a little bit,

2150
01:51:53,800 --> 01:51:57,160
Speaker 3: and that feels like forever ago now. So I agree

2151
01:51:57,160 --> 01:52:00,320
Speaker 3: with more of what Brian's saying here, Raven.

2152
01:52:00,320 --> 01:52:02,080
Speaker 2: Can we get a SoundBite of that? Can we cut that?

2153
01:52:03,200 --> 01:52:06,160
Speaker 5: I honestly, guys, I think this is an agree to

2154
01:52:06,200 --> 01:52:06,960
Speaker 5: disagree game.

2155
01:52:07,160 --> 01:52:08,719
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, fair, which is fair?

2156
01:52:08,760 --> 01:52:11,519
Speaker 5: Like, I mean, the sharpest people on the planet that

2157
01:52:11,560 --> 01:52:13,760
Speaker 5: I do shows with every week, including you guys, Like

2158
01:52:13,840 --> 01:52:17,680
Speaker 5: we're gonna disagree on games, It's gonna happen. I just

2159
01:52:17,720 --> 01:52:20,439
Speaker 5: think this is a really bad, bad matchup for Shroud

2160
01:52:20,439 --> 01:52:21,439
Speaker 5: in this Texans offense.

2161
01:52:21,439 --> 01:52:23,040
Speaker 4: And I think Lamar is gonna.

2162
01:52:22,920 --> 01:52:25,120
Speaker 5: Right, like, you can't be clutching the playoffs until you're

2163
01:52:25,120 --> 01:52:27,439
Speaker 5: clutching the playoffs, and true, today's the day.

2164
01:52:27,560 --> 01:52:28,800
Speaker 4: I think today's the day. Guys.

2165
01:52:30,040 --> 01:52:32,240
Speaker 2: We'll see, we'll see. We just made the matchup a

2166
01:52:32,280 --> 01:52:33,040
Speaker 2: lot more interesting.

2167
01:52:33,439 --> 01:52:35,599
Speaker 5: Yeah, because we all know who's on what side at

2168
01:52:35,600 --> 01:52:36,639
Speaker 5: this point, that's for sure.

2169
01:52:37,200 --> 01:52:37,759
Speaker 3: So fun.

2170
01:52:37,840 --> 01:52:39,519
Speaker 5: One of us is gonna get a win and rapid

2171
01:52:39,520 --> 01:52:41,320
Speaker 5: fire and the other one's gonna get a lost.

2172
01:52:41,520 --> 01:52:41,760
Speaker 3: Yeah.

2173
01:52:42,400 --> 01:52:44,559

2191
01:53:48,800 --> 01:53:52,639
Speaker 2: you all locked in on ball for the weekend. We've

2192
01:53:52,640 --> 01:53:57,799
Speaker 2: got some picks to make. Let's do it rapid fire,

2193
01:53:58,840 --> 01:54:02,839
Speaker 2: all right, mister Lamar, I'm just expecting three Lamar props

2194
01:54:02,840 --> 01:54:04,080
Speaker 2: over here, Jared, what do you have?

2195
01:54:04,200 --> 01:54:04,519
Speaker 3: Man?

2196
01:54:04,720 --> 01:54:06,519
Speaker 5: Now, we'll give you two picks for tomorrow, and then

2197
01:54:06,520 --> 01:54:07,320
Speaker 5: we'll give you the play the.

2198
01:54:07,320 --> 01:54:08,680
Speaker 4: Day, which I think you already know what it is.

2199
01:54:08,680 --> 01:54:10,800
Speaker 4: But let's go tomorrow's games. They haven't talked much about

2200
01:54:10,800 --> 01:54:12,599
Speaker 4: this Bucks Lions game. I think this game is kind

2201
01:54:12,640 --> 01:54:16,080
Speaker 4: of a pass funnel game. You've got two defenses.

2202
01:54:15,520 --> 01:54:17,720
Speaker 5: That the lines are significantly better against the run than

2203
01:54:17,720 --> 01:54:19,920
Speaker 5: the pass, and the Bucks are very aggressive. They love

2204
01:54:19,960 --> 01:54:22,160
Speaker 5: the Blitz and they're on a short week, so we'll

2205
01:54:22,160 --> 01:54:23,400
Speaker 5: see how much they have left.

2206
01:54:23,240 --> 01:54:23,559
Speaker 2: In the tank.

2207
01:54:23,600 --> 01:54:25,720
Speaker 5: So I'm gonna bet the over in the Bucks Lions game.

2208
01:54:25,760 --> 01:54:27,760
Speaker 5: I love the fact that it's a fast track in

2209
01:54:27,800 --> 01:54:29,920
Speaker 5: that Dome. I don't think the crowd will be as

2210
01:54:29,960 --> 01:54:32,400
Speaker 5: frenzied as it was last week with Stafford coming back,

2211
01:54:32,440 --> 01:54:34,400
Speaker 5: so I think a lot of points. Jamison Williams will

2212
01:54:34,320 --> 01:54:36,680
Speaker 5: have a big game, couple of deep shots, Bucks lines

2213
01:54:36,720 --> 01:54:38,400
Speaker 5: game goes over forty nine and a half, and I'm

2214
01:54:38,400 --> 01:54:40,680
Speaker 5: gonna go under in the Chiefs and the Bills again

2215
01:54:40,840 --> 01:54:43,640
Speaker 5: seven times in four years. These two teams know each

2216
01:54:43,680 --> 01:54:46,720
Speaker 5: other better than anyone and I think the best units

2217
01:54:46,760 --> 01:54:49,560
Speaker 5: on the field for both teams are the defenses.

2218
01:54:49,600 --> 01:54:51,760
Speaker 4: So I'll go under forty five and a half Chiefs

2219
01:54:51,800 --> 01:54:52,440
Speaker 4: and Bills.

2220
01:54:52,600 --> 01:54:54,560
Speaker 2: All right, I'm taking two dogs.

2221
01:54:54,600 --> 01:54:57,400
Speaker 3: I'll finish with the most important one last, but I'll

2222
01:54:57,400 --> 01:55:00,440
Speaker 3: start with the ones who are gonna finish this weekend.

2223
01:55:00,480 --> 01:55:03,400
Speaker 3: The Kansas City Chiefs on the road in Buffalo catching

2224
01:55:03,440 --> 01:55:04,400
Speaker 3: two and a half points.

2225
01:55:04,440 --> 01:55:07,400
Speaker 2: It feels like stealing. I'll take Case. And since I

2226
01:55:07,520 --> 01:55:09,040
Speaker 2: like Case, I love Mahomes.

2227
01:55:09,440 --> 01:55:13,240
Speaker 3: And when Mahomes gets to the postseason, and it's playoff

2228
01:55:13,280 --> 01:55:15,800
Speaker 3: Mahomes he usually turns it on. I'm taking the over

2229
01:55:15,880 --> 01:55:17,520
Speaker 3: on the two hundred and fifty three and a half

2230
01:55:17,560 --> 01:55:21,000
Speaker 3: passing yardage total, and then we get to Houston Ravens.

2231
01:55:21,840 --> 01:55:24,919
Speaker 3: Baltimore is the one seed. Houston has the upstart.

2232
01:55:25,000 --> 01:55:25,280
Speaker 2: CJ.

2233
01:55:25,480 --> 01:55:28,080
Speaker 3: Stroud give me the points. I'll take the nine and

2234
01:55:28,160 --> 01:55:32,320
Speaker 3: a half. Thank you on the road in Baltimore, Texans.

2235
01:55:33,040 --> 01:55:34,960
Speaker 3: I'm not taking them to win, but I'm taking them

2236
01:55:35,200 --> 01:55:37,640
Speaker 3: to keep it close, keep it comfortable. With the Baltimore

2237
01:55:37,720 --> 01:55:39,640
Speaker 3: Ravens come on trying.

2238
01:55:39,400 --> 01:55:43,960
Speaker 2: To place the accent of thank you. Yeah, I think

2239
01:55:44,000 --> 01:55:44,200
Speaker 2: it was.

2240
01:55:44,400 --> 01:55:47,440
Speaker 3: I was channeling John Lovitz acting thank you.

2241
01:55:49,880 --> 01:55:53,040
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm gonna go with the Niners. It's a big number,

2242
01:55:53,080 --> 01:55:55,720
Speaker 2: it's ticked up, it's ten. I'll lay it. I think

2243
01:55:55,760 --> 01:55:59,560
Speaker 2: they smack around the Packers. I think this could get ugly.

2244
01:56:00,240 --> 01:56:03,840
Speaker 2: I'm gonna take Josh Allen Bill's quarterback to throw an interception.

2245
01:56:04,280 --> 01:56:07,120
Speaker 2: I'm gonna take this Chiefs defense. I'm gonna take Buffalo

2246
01:56:07,440 --> 01:56:10,160
Speaker 2: under their team total of twenty four and a half.

2247
01:56:10,880 --> 01:56:14,480
Speaker 2: The Chiefs defense has been stingy, giving up only over

2248
01:56:14,560 --> 01:56:17,720
Speaker 2: twenty one twice this entire season. So I think they

2249
01:56:17,760 --> 01:56:22,320
Speaker 2: can keep Buffalo under twenty four points in this game,

2250
01:56:22,560 --> 01:56:24,920
Speaker 2: at least not over it, right, twenty four and a

2251
01:56:24,920 --> 01:56:28,200
Speaker 2: half twenty four to be fine, Just not anything over that.

2252
01:56:28,200 --> 01:56:30,800
Speaker 2: That's what I'm going with. We've got time for the

2253
01:56:30,840 --> 01:56:37,720
Speaker 2: best pick. Maybe this is the best play of the day.

2254
01:56:39,760 --> 01:56:42,400
Speaker 2: You know, I preface this with what should be the

2255
01:56:42,400 --> 01:56:45,600
Speaker 2: best pick, But based on where you're leaning, Jared, I'm

2256
01:56:45,600 --> 01:56:46,640
Speaker 2: not sure I can say that.

2257
01:56:46,680 --> 01:56:48,600
Speaker 5: Well, should we put a little extra should we do

2258
01:56:48,640 --> 01:56:50,520
Speaker 5: a little side action on this one? Because it is

2259
01:56:50,560 --> 01:56:53,720
Speaker 5: the Ravens nine and a half absolutely play of the day.

2260
01:56:54,800 --> 01:56:56,640
Speaker 5: I'm down to do some side action. Do you want

2261
01:56:56,640 --> 01:56:59,880
Speaker 5: to make this maybe play worth double? If I lose,

2262
01:56:59,920 --> 01:57:03,600
Speaker 5: it counts as two losses in my standing because I

2263
01:57:03,640 --> 01:57:05,080
Speaker 5: get to give out the play of the day. You

2264
01:57:05,080 --> 01:57:08,320
Speaker 5: guys don't have a say in this, and I you

2265
01:57:08,360 --> 01:57:10,520
Speaker 5: know that's just the way the show is structured. But

2266
01:57:10,520 --> 01:57:12,760
Speaker 5: if you want to make an amendment to the rules

2267
01:57:12,840 --> 01:57:13,800
Speaker 5: for we have a little time.

2268
01:57:13,680 --> 01:57:16,400
Speaker 4: To kill here, I'm opening adjustments.

2269
01:57:17,040 --> 01:57:19,800
Speaker 2: We're crunching numbers on the fly, and you're gonna have
