00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:14,399
Speaker 3: I did? I did twice.

38
00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:17,799
Speaker 5: In fact, we did it earlier in the week because

39
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:21,400
Speaker 5: we would be running around, chasing around watching my daughter

40
00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:27,079
Speaker 5: sit the bench for Oregon and and then then we're

41
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:30,400
Speaker 5: going to turn back around and have some leftovers with

42
00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:33,200
Speaker 5: men man on the bench on Saturday. So this has

43
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:36,600
Speaker 5: just been a it's just been it's been a bench

44
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:40,119
Speaker 5: tour for me. But it's all about the support. It's

45
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:42,519
Speaker 5: not about the play in time, it's about the support.

46
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:47,880
Speaker 5: So yeah, so there's that. In between the traveling. We've

47
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:50,720
Speaker 5: done the Thanksgiving meals so that we could kind of

48
00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:54,440
Speaker 5: all sit down. Man came in from from State College

49
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:57,320
Speaker 5: last night for a few hours to get some food

50
00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:00,200
Speaker 5: and get some family time. So that was pretty cool.

51
00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:02,280
Speaker 3: It was cool. It's it's been a good, good holiday.

52

Speaker 4: table that we've got to like, you know, like sift through.

66
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:39,520
Speaker 4: Like no, now, that's every other day of the year.

67
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:47,920
Speaker 4: Mexican culture they do it different, you know, from time

68
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:48,320
Speaker 4: to time.

69
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:49,440
Speaker 3: But I know, I know.

70
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:52,200

Speaker 3: Through too Many's or something.

76
00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:12,640
Speaker 6: The food is fantastic. The food was fantastic. But I

77
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:15,480
Speaker 6: was shocked because it did feel like a home game.

00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:19,920
Speaker 6: I'm looking around, going where's the where's the sauce?

79

00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:02,200
Speaker 3: I'm sweet.

00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:11,600
Speaker 4: So so there is that.

92
00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:14,040
Speaker 6: Hey, I was thinking about something watching.

93
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:17,960
Speaker 4: The uh, the game just starting, you know, backwards, uh,

94
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:21,240
Speaker 4: from the last game to the early game. I'm watching

95
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:24,240
Speaker 4: the Bengals and the Ravens, and something occurred to me.

96
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:26,679
Speaker 3: You and I? What was it?

97
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:28,600
Speaker 4: You and I on two pros and a cup of

98
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:30,560
Speaker 4: joe whch You can hear before the Dan Patrick Show

99
00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:33,000
Speaker 4: weekday mornings here on Fox Sports Radio.

100
00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:33,480
Speaker 6: You and I.

101
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:37,000
Speaker 4: We both had the Ravens going to the Super Bowl,

102
00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:39,440
Speaker 4: and it occurred to me last night watching that game,

103
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:45,880
Speaker 4: they kind of stink. They're really not They're just got

104
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:46,440
Speaker 4: very good.

105
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:49,919
Speaker 3: They're not good anymore. What happened, I don't know.

106
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:55,960
Speaker 5: We just talked about there shouldn't be enough defense in

107
00:05:56,040 --> 00:06:00,719
Speaker 5: the world for for Sincey to be able to win

108
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:06,039
Speaker 5: in Baltimore against that offense. Not enough defense in the world,

109
00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:08,920
Speaker 5: let alone Cincinnati to go in there and do it.

110
00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:12,600
Speaker 5: There you go, Yeah, it's just it's the it's the

111
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:16,400
Speaker 5: Joe Burrow effect though, like he's like everybody's kryptonite, you know,

112
00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:17,240
Speaker 5: That's what it is.

113
00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:20,520
Speaker 4: And the thing is and look, I don't know that

114
00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:24,479
Speaker 4: Joe Burrow. Look, obviously it doesn't help their defense. And

115
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:26,680
Speaker 4: that's really been the problem for Cincinnati. As we've laid

116
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:29,359
Speaker 4: out on our show that Joe Flacco's played well like

117
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:31,360
Speaker 4: it wasn't like he was struggling while he was in there.

118
00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:32,960
Speaker 3: But he's not Joe Burrows.

119
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:40,240
Speaker 5: The Joe Burrow impact, the effect, Yes, yes, that's a

120
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:44,400
Speaker 5: real thing. Okay, let me ask you this, if you

121
00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:48,800
Speaker 5: were if you were going into a game with I

122
00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:51,400
Speaker 5: don't know, just say it's a really good ball player

123
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:55,240
Speaker 5: that's backing up Kobe Bryant, or a really really good

124
00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:59,360
Speaker 5: ballplayer that's backing up Michael Jordan. And you go into

125
00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:03,200
Speaker 5: the game knowing that MJ or Kobe is out of

126
00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:06,800
Speaker 5: the game. Do you feel the same way? Do you

127
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:10,280
Speaker 5: have the same type of confidence level that you would

128
00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:12,640
Speaker 5: if And maybe you don't know this, I don't know.

129
00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:14,280
Speaker 5: Maybe you got to be an athlete to know. But

130
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:27,840
Speaker 5: you can assume, right, assume you can assume what.

131
00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:33,160
Speaker 6: What do I going to be frager? But point here's

132
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:34,840
Speaker 6: the point, point taking.

133
00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:38,720
Speaker 5: But here's the point, right, all seriousness, You're going to

134
00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:41,880
Speaker 5: have more confidence when you have your best player on

135
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:46,400
Speaker 5: the field, and especially at the main position. If you

136
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:50,560
Speaker 5: have your guy at his position, they know Joe Burrow

137
00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:52,920
Speaker 5: as the guy that took them to the super Bowl.

138
00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:55,400
Speaker 5: They know Joe Burrow is the guy that should be

139
00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:59,280
Speaker 5: a League MVP probably last year, if not for you know,

140
00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:03,160
Speaker 5: the heroics of you know, other guys, which I mean

141
00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:07,120
Speaker 5: it is what it is, all right, but that that

142
00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:10,960
Speaker 5: does have a positive, profound impact on the rest of

143
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:11,480
Speaker 5: your team.

144
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:12,120
Speaker 3: When you have.

145
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:17,640
Speaker 5: The guy like you know, Lat's back, Lat's back, like

146
00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:20,800
Speaker 5: you know what I mean? It definitely does have an impact.

147
00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:24,720
Speaker 5: And clearly that's a thing because they lose games. They what,

148
00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:27,480
Speaker 5: they've only won one game without Joe Burrow. When Joe

149
00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:30,080
Speaker 5: burrows out, they've won like one game, one or two games.

150
00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:33,960
Speaker 5: I believe it's one. So I mean, it's a real thing.

151
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:37,040
Speaker 4: And that was it, and that was one of the

152
00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:39,559
Speaker 4: storylines going into the year for Zach Taylor. And then

153
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:41,840
Speaker 4: was the starts to the season, because that's that had

154
00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:43,600
Speaker 4: always been an issue. They would get off to these

155
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:46,360
Speaker 4: poor starts. Their record in September was awful, and they

156
00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:48,800
Speaker 4: didn't be scrambling in this mad dash to try and

157
00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:50,880
Speaker 4: make the postseason like they were last year. And that's

158
00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:52,640
Speaker 4: why they've missed a couple of years in a row.

159
00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:55,920
Speaker 4: That in his health and so this year, what we're

160
00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:58,720
Speaker 4: gonna have him play in the preseason. We're gonna make

161
00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:00,720
Speaker 4: sure we come in and there's not a lot of rust.

162
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:02,720
Speaker 4: They come in, they start off the year two and

163
00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:05,360
Speaker 4: zero and you're thinking, all right, well, at least the

164
00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:07,640
Speaker 4: plan worked, and then he gets hurt and then they

165
00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:11,440
Speaker 4: just went in this downward spiral. Joe Burrow after the game,

166
00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:15,520
Speaker 4: talked about his return last night in Baltimore had to knock.

167
00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:18,480
Speaker 7: Some rust off there in the first half, so I

168
00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:19,720
Speaker 7: expect myself to play better.

169
00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:21,880
Speaker 3: But it was great to be back out there.

170
00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:24,040
Speaker 7: I was, you know, a lot of emotions running through

171
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:24,839
Speaker 7: it at the end of the game.

172
00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:27,320
Speaker 3: So it's just good to be back with the guy.

173
00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:29,280
Speaker 7: You know, anytime you can get a big win like this,

174
00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:33,240
Speaker 7: it's it's exciting, and guys work really hard for this.

175
00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:35,440
Speaker 7: You know, we are where we're at with our record,

176
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:38,719
Speaker 7: but guys work really hard to go out and put

177
00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:41,640
Speaker 7: on good performances on Sunday. So when you're able to

178
00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:44,040
Speaker 7: do that, it feels good.

179
00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:47,800
Speaker 4: I mean, they would need some things to fall their way,

180
00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:48,480
Speaker 4: but there's a.

181
00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:50,480
Speaker 5: Lot of pressure on them to try to get in there.

182
00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:53,640
Speaker 5: I mean, but think about it, if they if they

183
00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:57,000
Speaker 5: went out they get in. That's a lot of pressure.

184
00:09:57,720 --> 00:10:00,360
Speaker 5: But at the end of the day, I don't I know,

185
00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:02,880
Speaker 5: you're going to go into like scenarios like what needs

186
00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:04,719
Speaker 5: to play out for them to be able to make

187
00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:09,200
Speaker 5: a playoffs. Just win, just win, just keep winning. There's

188
00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:12,200
Speaker 5: enough games left that if they just keep winning, if

189
00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:14,520
Speaker 5: they go on a tear and take over the second

190
00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:18,240
Speaker 5: half of the season, which is very, very possible, right

191
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:22,240
Speaker 5: this be Bengals team has so much talent. Talent on it.

192
00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:25,360
Speaker 5: They didn't even have Jamar in this game. Like think

193
00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:28,240
Speaker 5: about that. Yeah, they didn't even have him and they

194
00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:31,760
Speaker 5: still go out there and serve up an ass whipping.

195
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:36,160
Speaker 5: Didn't even have their their main receiver. So you get,

196
00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:39,560
Speaker 5: you get hendrickson back. I'm assuming he'll come back and

197
00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:41,400
Speaker 5: and and continue to be healthy.

198
00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:42,200
Speaker 3: Uh.

199
00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:45,199
Speaker 5: You you'll get your You'll get some elements of your

200
00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:49,880
Speaker 5: defense as a better defense moving forward, you'll have your

201
00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:54,560
Speaker 5: your weapons on offense. They might take over the second

202
00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:57,240
Speaker 5: half of this season and could be a team to

203
00:10:57,320 --> 00:11:02,360
Speaker 5: beat heading into the postseason. They could very well storm back,

204
00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:06,840
Speaker 5: just based around the idea that that the Steelers will

205
00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:10,559
Speaker 5: give away a game. The Ravens they're giving away games.

206
00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:12,320
Speaker 5: I mean, I don't know if we call it give

207
00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:14,800
Speaker 5: it away. I don't Again, they don't look like they're

208
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:17,840
Speaker 5: a very good team. And the Steelers, I know they

209
00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:21,920
Speaker 5: play without Aaron Rodgers, but the Steelers if Aaron Rodgers'

210
00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:25,120
Speaker 5: injury can't you know, get rectified to the point of

211
00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:26,120
Speaker 5: where he's comfortable.

212
00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:28,000
Speaker 3: I don't know how that all works out. What is

213
00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:29,800
Speaker 3: you know how that works?

214
00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:36,120
Speaker 5: But This is not the same team without without Aaron Rodgers,

215
00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:39,800
Speaker 5: and I don't know how good they are down the stretch, honestly,

216
00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:44,280
Speaker 5: if they're running game isn't isn't up to standard of

217
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:47,680
Speaker 5: what a stealer running game should be heading down the stretch.

218
00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:52,040
Speaker 5: So it aligns for Cincinnati to be able to not

219
00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:55,240
Speaker 5: only climb back into it, they could take it over

220
00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:58,640
Speaker 5: and win it. They could win the AFC nor because

221
00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:01,840
Speaker 5: it's not a very competitive strong AFC North this year.

222
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:03,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, And I mean, they've got a couple of division

223
00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:07,600
Speaker 4: games left. They've got Baltimoregan and then they've got the Browns.

224
00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:09,800
Speaker 4: They're three and one in the division. They've got the

225
00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:13,160
Speaker 4: best record in the division. So it's look, it's a

226
00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:15,840
Speaker 4: long shot. But if they do go on this run,

227
00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:18,520
Speaker 4: because they're at Buffalo coming up next week, and we've

228
00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:19,640
Speaker 4: seen look the Bills.

229
00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:21,520
Speaker 6: Yeah, the Bills have not left.

230
00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:23,280
Speaker 3: That's look. Ye, they're the same.

231
00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:26,240
Speaker 4: So if if they were to go on this run,

232
00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:30,960
Speaker 4: and let's just say, you know, for hypothetically speaking, they

233
00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:36,440
Speaker 4: get into the postseason, they're that's a problem because that's

234
00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:39,719
Speaker 4: a team with you know, and we'll get into the

235
00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:42,480
Speaker 4: Kansas City conversation as well, but that's a team who

236
00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:44,800
Speaker 4: gets into the AFC playoffs and all of a sudden,

237
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:49,240
Speaker 4: I think they've got the best quarterback in the playoffs.

238
00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:52,439
Speaker 5: And receiving ten Yeah, outside of Dallas, which I know

239
00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:55,760
Speaker 5: we're going to get into that. Outside of Dallas, who

240
00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:59,600
Speaker 5: has a better, more loaded receiving corps.

241
00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:02,240
Speaker 6: No, nobody, nobody.

242
00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:08,000
Speaker 5: So I mean they could potentially, like I said, if

243
00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:10,440
Speaker 5: they catch fire this second half of the season and

244
00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:13,800
Speaker 5: they stay healthy and you know, they have a they've

245
00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:16,440
Speaker 5: had enough things not go their way, they have a

246
00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:19,880
Speaker 5: few things go their way, this Cincinnati team becomes a

247
00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:25,280
Speaker 5: real interesting prospect, a real interesting horse. Do you put

248
00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:28,560
Speaker 5: your money on moving down the stretch of who's going

249
00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:32,040
Speaker 5: to finish out? They have, they have the ability, they

250
00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:35,280
Speaker 5: have the experience, they have the understanding of how good

251
00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:38,480
Speaker 5: they can be because they've made it to the super Bowl.

252
00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:41,199
Speaker 5: So and they are one of the teams that have

253
00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:47,280
Speaker 5: proven that that Kansas City kind of before now that unbeatable,

254
00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:53,120
Speaker 5: that unpenetrable Kansas City team, they can be beat. That

255
00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:56,320
Speaker 5: was Cincinnati that was proving that. Yeah, So to me,

256
00:13:57,080 --> 00:14:01,079
Speaker 5: it's an interesting conversation because they can get on a run.

257
00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:04,800
Speaker 5: It was confirmed that Joe Burrow can make the difference

258
00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:08,480
Speaker 5: in how this team carries out a game plan. Whether

259
00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:12,480
Speaker 5: he plays defense or not doesn't matter. It's the impact

260
00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:15,480
Speaker 5: and the energy of knowing that you have your guy back,

261
00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:17,840
Speaker 5: and all we got to do is step our level,

262
00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:20,360
Speaker 5: will play up. We step our level up, then it's

263
00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:22,320
Speaker 5: going to go up for the rest of us as well.

264
00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:24,480
Speaker 5: And Joe's going to do what he needs to do.

265
00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:27,480
Speaker 5: And that's exactly what you saw happen in this Ravens game.

266
00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:34,640
Speaker 4: Now, the Ravens conversation is a separate one because Baltimore, look, yeah,

267
00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:38,000
Speaker 4: there's something off. John Harbaugh, the head coach of the

268
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:42,480
Speaker 4: Baltimore Ravens, was asked about potentially maybe health being an

269
00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:44,920
Speaker 4: issue for Lamar Jackson and had this to say, I

270
00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:45,560
Speaker 4: just think.

271
00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:47,040
Speaker 7: He tried to do the best you can from play

272
00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:49,840
Speaker 7: to play, in game to game to execute and make.

273
00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:54,840
Speaker 6: Plays fully healthy, fully healthy.

274
00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:57,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's fully healthy to play. Yeah, absolutely.

275
00:14:57,920 --> 00:15:00,120
Speaker 4: So that's more like, man, we're just trying to to

276
00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:03,000
Speaker 4: get through it. You know, he's always on the injury report.

277
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:06,040
Speaker 4: There's always something that pops up. They just don't look

278
00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:09,680
Speaker 4: good man. And if we're being fair about the situation,

279
00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:12,360
Speaker 4: like the Joe Burrow's been out for a significant amount

280
00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:14,920
Speaker 4: of time. The conversation about the defense is one thing.

281
00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:19,040
Speaker 4: We're now two thirds of the season in you kind

282
00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:21,680
Speaker 4: of are what you are at this point rights, as

283
00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:24,000
Speaker 4: the great Pete Prisco would say, you are what you are.

284
00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:27,800
Speaker 4: And Baltimore's just they look like a mediocre football team.

285
00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:30,680
Speaker 4: And I know they've been on a little bit of

286
00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:34,160
Speaker 4: a run lately, but last night was was alarming. They

287
00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:37,720
Speaker 4: were a seven point favorite at home on a short

288
00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:41,920
Speaker 4: week against we took them. I think I might have

289
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:44,480
Speaker 4: taken Cincinnati. I think you really Yeah, I got to

290
00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:47,480
Speaker 4: look into that, but I mean it was a lot

291
00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:49,760
Speaker 4: of points. I said, well, you know, listen, I'll ride

292
00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:52,760
Speaker 4: the momentum of Joe Burrow, But I mean I didn't

293
00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:53,680
Speaker 4: think it was going to look like.

294
00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:56,680
Speaker 5: That, did you, money Line the Bengals.

295
00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:56,640
Speaker 3: I don't know.

296
00:15:57,200 --> 00:15:59,880
Speaker 6: Probably not, if I'm being honest, probably not.

297
00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:03,840
Speaker 5: I just where we're at right now in the season.

298
00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:10,720
Speaker 5: I am so fed up with people disappointing the idea

299
00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:15,120
Speaker 5: that the good teams get better and the bad teams

300
00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:19,280
Speaker 5: are very wildly inconsistent. I thought we would see a

301
00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:23,440
Speaker 5: wildly inconsistent game from the Bengals, and we would see

302
00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:29,200
Speaker 5: a Baltimore Ravens team continue to apply themselves and bring

303
00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:33,600
Speaker 5: a level of play that says they're getting themselves into form.

304
00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:37,360
Speaker 5: For what's taking place, the interview points that you hear

305
00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:40,440
Speaker 5: from Harball, the things that you see take place with

306
00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:45,320
Speaker 5: this team, the conversation surrounding them is largely in part

307
00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:48,880
Speaker 5: they are a very inconsistent football team. That's not the

308
00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:52,200
Speaker 5: type of team that can ride any type of momentum

309
00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:56,040
Speaker 5: into a postseason aspiration to try to win a Super Bowl.

310
00:16:56,480 --> 00:16:59,680
Speaker 5: That's what the Baltimore Ravens are right now. Why are

311
00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:04,240
Speaker 5: they team? It's very perplexing. I don't know. I don't

312
00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:06,840
Speaker 5: know who has the answer for it. But the question

313
00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:11,600
Speaker 5: to me becomes, where is Harball as a coach in

314
00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:12,840
Speaker 5: his tenure.

315
00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:14,000
Speaker 3: With this group?

316
00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:17,080
Speaker 5: If this is all you can get as a result

317
00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:20,399
Speaker 5: from your team, I think it raises a lot of

318
00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:24,360
Speaker 5: red flags if I'm moving forward in terms of what

319
00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:28,439
Speaker 5: has we keep asking the question about the Buffalo Bills.

320
00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:32,160
Speaker 5: Have they hit their ceiling? Every single week? Have they

321
00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:35,479
Speaker 5: hit their ceiling? Have they hit their ceiling? I gotta

322
00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:40,240
Speaker 5: ask the question, have the Baltimore Ravens hit their ceiling.

323
00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:44,280
Speaker 5: That's gotta be the number one question coming out of

324
00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:48,720
Speaker 5: that game yesterday because there's really no apparent reason as

325
00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:51,800
Speaker 5: to why you could come to a strong, positive conclusion

326
00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:57,240
Speaker 5: that the Cincinnati Bengals would have a decisive, dominant victory

327
00:17:57,440 --> 00:18:00,280
Speaker 5: over the Baltimore Ravens in Baltimore.

328
00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:03,000
Speaker 4: If you like, if you would have told me that

329
00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:05,680
Speaker 4: a Cincinnati went in there and they squeaked one out

330
00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:08,800
Speaker 4: on a field goal late Evan McPherson hit a you know,

331
00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:11,320
Speaker 4: fifty plus yard field goal and they win that game.

332
00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:13,879
Speaker 4: Oh man, you know big. But it's like, hey, but

333
00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:17,520
Speaker 4: you made the point earlier. That was a beating last night.

334
00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:18,040
Speaker 3: That was a beat.

335
00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:20,760
Speaker 4: That game was like they like Cincinnati fed them their

336
00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:24,479
Speaker 4: ass on national television for everybody to watch, and it

337
00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:27,560
Speaker 4: looked like a shell of what the Ravens were last year.

338
00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:30,480
Speaker 4: The Lamar's not looked that bad in a long time.

339
00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:34,399
Speaker 4: And it was just turning the ball over, no answers,

340
00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:38,040
Speaker 4: They just they stopped running the It's you've got all that.

341
00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:40,280
Speaker 4: I know this, and there's been injuries and there's been

342
00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:42,520
Speaker 4: all this stuff and key players have been out on

343
00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:44,920
Speaker 4: defense for there. I get all that, but you still

344
00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:48,600
Speaker 4: do have Lamar Jackson, like you still do have talent there.

345
00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:51,040
Speaker 4: It's not like it's not like you were down your

346
00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:54,159
Speaker 4: number one wide receiver like the Bengals were, and that

347
00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:58,280
Speaker 4: game wasn't close. Like if Cincinnati converts, you know, instead

348
00:18:58,280 --> 00:19:00,159
Speaker 4: of kicking field goals, if they you know, convert a

349
00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:02,800
Speaker 4: couple of more touchdowns and Joe Burrow isn't working through

350
00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:05,920
Speaker 4: the rust, who the hell knows what that game looks like?

351
00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:09,520
Speaker 4: Like that was that was an ugly performance. And yeah,

352
00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:13,440
Speaker 4: I do wonder at what point because you know, it's

353
00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:15,560
Speaker 4: the same thing about Mike Tomlin. It's the same thing

354
00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:18,040
Speaker 4: about you know, Sean McDermott. It's like, man, there's been

355
00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:21,880
Speaker 4: a lot of success there, but it hasn't quite gotten

356
00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:26,520
Speaker 4: to Super Bowl yet, Like it hasn't quite gotten to Hey, well,

357
00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:29,120
Speaker 4: you know they lost in a super Bowl and you're

358
00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:30,800
Speaker 4: not hearing any of that stuff about you.

359
00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:32,280
Speaker 6: Know, Andy Reid, you're not hearing.

360
00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:35,639
Speaker 4: But for some reason, the Ravens don't look the same,

361
00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:39,560
Speaker 4: the Bills don't look it just something's off there, man.

362
00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:43,680
Speaker 4: And I just wonder, with Lamar's mobility and the way

363
00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:47,000
Speaker 4: his style of play, you know, when do we start

364
00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:50,560
Speaker 4: having the discussion. Has he peaked as well too, because

365
00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:52,920
Speaker 4: he's taken a lot of damage. He's been out there,

366
00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:56,919
Speaker 4: and those hits add up, and I'm just wondering if

367
00:19:56,920 --> 00:20:01,040
Speaker 4: where at the point in his career where the athletic

368
00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:03,600
Speaker 4: ability can't carry him the way maybe it did in

369
00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:06,240
Speaker 4: previous years. I don't want to overreact, but that did

370
00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:08,080
Speaker 4: not look good, and this season hasn't looked good for

371
00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:08,840
Speaker 4: that team.

372
00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:10,240
Speaker 3: I don't know that.

373
00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:14,040
Speaker 5: You could call it an overreaction at this point to

374
00:20:14,119 --> 00:20:20,159
Speaker 5: have criticisms towards any aspect of the Ravens team or

375
00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:24,480
Speaker 5: their game right now. I don't think anything is off limits.

376
00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:31,399
Speaker 5: Maybe hambling, maybe that might be it. But otherwise I

377
00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:32,880
Speaker 5: think they're they're all what.

378
00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:39,920
Speaker 3: Not what what? Nothing but nothing.

379
00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:42,960
Speaker 6: You know, We're just having you know, just having conversations

380
00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:43,639
Speaker 6: with the Ravens.

381
00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:47,679
Speaker 3: It's all, you know. Oh, I don't know, this feels

382
00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:48,320
Speaker 3: like a setup.

383
00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:50,879
Speaker 6: No, it's not. It's not not a setup, is it.

384
00:20:51,320 --> 00:20:54,080
Speaker 4: I mean, I just I just was wondering if maybe

385
00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:57,560
Speaker 4: there's there's something else going on there, you know, like

386
00:20:57,640 --> 00:21:01,479
Speaker 4: maybe you know, maybe you know, justin Tucker put some

387
00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:04,320
Speaker 4: sort of a hecks on the Oh. I'm just saying,

388
00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:07,160
Speaker 4: you know, like one of those neon lighte heckses.

389
00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:10,680
Speaker 6: Like you're gonna come after me. I'm asking the question.

390
00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:13,120
Speaker 4: I'm trying to get some answers here, and I got

391
00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:15,160
Speaker 4: to know what's going on there in Baltimore, that's all.

392
00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:19,639
Speaker 5: So you're saying he has to cleanse the facility of

393
00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:23,960
Speaker 5: this possibly happening on the road at the facility.

394
00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:28,119
Speaker 3: I mean, you know it's possible. Yeah, I just know.

395
00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:28,800
Speaker 3: I wouldn't know.

396
00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:34,720
Speaker 5: I got an extensive background on people being inappropriate in

397
00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:35,400
Speaker 5: locker rooms.

398
00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:37,959
Speaker 6: You know, Yeah you do, there, you do.

399
00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:42,239
Speaker 5: I didn't know, bitches, but but yeah, I didn't know.

400
00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:45,159
Speaker 5: Don't don't text me up after the show, so you knew. No,

401
00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:48,760
Speaker 5: I didn't know. I was totally unaware. It's over clear

402
00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:49,159
Speaker 5: on that.

403
00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:52,400
Speaker 4: But yeah, it's that they have not look good all year,

404
00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:55,040
Speaker 4: and so I don't I know, there's still the overwhelming

405
00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:58,159
Speaker 4: favorite to win that division, just because somebody's got to

406
00:21:58,200 --> 00:21:58,920
Speaker 4: win that division.

407
00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:03,920
Speaker 5: But I it's the inconsistencies for me, man, Like they're

408
00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:09,320
Speaker 5: all inconsistent. Every less one of them are inconsistent. There's

409
00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:12,760
Speaker 5: no way to put a tag on any of those

410
00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:18,000
Speaker 5: AFC teams, no way, like I'm curious to see what

411
00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:22,800
Speaker 5: Shador does on Sunday because even the Browns are in

412
00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:23,720
Speaker 5: the conversation.

413
00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:27,119
Speaker 3: That's crazy. All four teams are in the conversation.

414
00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:31,119
Speaker 5: As poorly as they have done, they could all be

415
00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:34,119
Speaker 5: in the conversation. Maybe the Browns don't make the playoffs

416
00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:36,879
Speaker 5: based on where they're at, but they can make a

417
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:41,240
Speaker 5: run for it. And imagine what that conversation is if

418
00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:45,760
Speaker 5: they go on to tear with Shador at quarterback. So

419
00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:47,439
Speaker 5: so now Stefanski may.

420
00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:49,520
Speaker 3: Save his job. Boom, here you go.

421
00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:51,959
Speaker 5: You go into an offseason with the momentum of what

422
00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:56,480
Speaker 5: Shador Sanders has done as your starting quarterback. You got

423
00:22:56,800 --> 00:22:59,840
Speaker 5: one of the best defensive ends, might break the record

424
00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:03,920
Speaker 5: on he's on record watch for most sacks in the season.

425
00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:07,120
Speaker 3: And Miles Garrett. You have pieces.

426
00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:12,040
Speaker 5: Now you instead of going for a quarterback with that

427
00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:14,520
Speaker 5: top pick, go after a receiver.

428
00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:18,439
Speaker 3: Go after a couple receivers in your draft.

429
00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:23,439
Speaker 5: Go after some offensive linemen that can be like anchor

430
00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:26,919
Speaker 5: offensive linemen for the future of your team. Go for

431
00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:29,919
Speaker 5: those aspects. And now you have a lot of excitement

432
00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:35,240
Speaker 5: building around the Cleveland Browns. You look at Cincinnati, Cincinnati,

433
00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:38,160
Speaker 5: all they need to do is address their defense. That's

434
00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:40,560
Speaker 5: all they need to do. And now they're they're right

435
00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:44,720
Speaker 5: on their way. The Pittsburgh Steelers and the Baltimore Ravens

436
00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:48,480
Speaker 5: may have the biggest questions surrounding them moving into the

437
00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:51,280
Speaker 5: future out of any of the other teams in the

438
00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:53,639
Speaker 5: AFC North, and they're the ones on top of the

439
00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:57,520
Speaker 5: AFC North, which is very interesting because how much time

440
00:23:57,560 --> 00:23:58,160
Speaker 5: do they have?

441
00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:00,560
Speaker 3: How much do you have? How much time do you

442
00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:01,240
Speaker 3: have in.

443
00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:06,160
Speaker 5: Pittsburgh before you really see what this roster really truly is?

444
00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:10,080
Speaker 5: How much time do you have in Baltimore before you

445
00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:12,560
Speaker 5: see what this roster really truly is?

446
00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:13,679
Speaker 3: How much time do you have?

447
00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:17,280
Speaker 4: And also look at if you're Cincinnati, like you know,

448
00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:19,800
Speaker 4: last night, you're out there dealing and Joe Burrow's working

449
00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:22,560
Speaker 4: off rust and t Higgins is out with the concussion

450
00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:26,160
Speaker 4: and all that, Like you get him back, Joe Burrow's

451
00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:29,680
Speaker 4: got a game under his belt. I'm telling you, he's

452
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:33,439
Speaker 4: the best quarterback in the division in my mind, and

453
00:24:33,520 --> 00:24:36,440
Speaker 4: it's not close like at this he's the best quarterback

454
00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:38,679
Speaker 4: in the division, especially with Lamar's health and all that.

455
00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:41,960
Speaker 4: If they like, if he's got his full compliment, I

456
00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:45,800
Speaker 4: know it's thirteen to one on DraftKings for them to

457
00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:49,400
Speaker 4: win the division. I just I'm looking at it going

458
00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:52,760
Speaker 4: maybe it is possible. I don't know, maybe it is posibly,

459
00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:54,879
Speaker 4: and then that being said, they could come out, they

460
00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:58,480
Speaker 4: get their full compliment of weapons around Joe Burrow and

461
00:24:58,480 --> 00:25:00,000
Speaker 4: they get annihilated next week.

462
00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:00,399
Speaker 3: I don't know.

463
00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:02,520
Speaker 4: I mean, it's just it's one of those things. It's

464
00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:04,960
Speaker 4: inconsistent as hell, but it's the AFC North.

465
00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:07,399
Speaker 3: So I think it makes it.

466
00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:11,639
Speaker 5: I think it makes it very interesting moving into moving

467
00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:15,520
Speaker 5: into where we're going, because it is they are. They

468
00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:21,520
Speaker 5: have been such amazing team, such amazing franchises for the

469
00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:25,560
Speaker 5: National Football League, for the AFC. They've built the reputation

470
00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:29,040
Speaker 5: of the AFC North. I mean, all these teams have

471
00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:32,200
Speaker 5: built the reputation of the AFC North, but the Pittsburgh

472
00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:35,600
Speaker 5: Steelers and the Ravens have been the gold standard of

473
00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:38,159
Speaker 5: the division and they've been a gold standard for the

474
00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:43,439
Speaker 5: National Football League as well. It's interesting to see where

475
00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:47,600
Speaker 5: these teams, if that that legacy, if that tradition that

476
00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:51,360
Speaker 5: they've built through the years. The decision makers that are

477
00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:55,640
Speaker 5: in play now, because there are different different decision makers

478
00:25:56,119 --> 00:26:00,360
Speaker 5: at the GM's positions that aren't historically a part of

479
00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:05,560
Speaker 5: the successes of this these teams, these franchises. Can they

480
00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:09,199
Speaker 5: right the ships, can they get these teams going in

481
00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:13,520
Speaker 5: the right directions? And how much time is it going

482
00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:16,560
Speaker 5: to take for them to be able to do it?

483
00:26:16,560 --> 00:26:19,679
Speaker 5: It seemed as though Pittsburgh may have pulled a fast

484
00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:22,240
Speaker 5: one on us. They got out to the type of

485
00:26:22,280 --> 00:26:25,479
Speaker 5: start that would make you consider that the steps that

486
00:26:25,520 --> 00:26:29,760
Speaker 5: they took this offseason weren't worth looking at and criticizing.

487
00:26:30,119 --> 00:26:33,160
Speaker 5: I know, I was very critical. It looked as though

488
00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:35,119
Speaker 5: they got off to a different type of start. But

489
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:38,800
Speaker 5: you know, to me, now, I don't know, man. I

490
00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:41,119
Speaker 5: don't know about the Pittsburgh Steelers, And I don't know

491
00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:44,480
Speaker 5: about the Baltimore Ravens, and and I don't know that

492
00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:48,320
Speaker 5: there's any indicator other than saying, for Baltimore you have

493
00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:51,000
Speaker 5: Lamar Jackson. But you asked a question that's a very

494
00:26:51,080 --> 00:26:54,120
Speaker 5: legitimate question. Has he hit his ceiling?

495
00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:58,880
Speaker 4: I just yeah, I don't. I don't know, man. There's

496
00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:00,760
Speaker 4: something off there. There's something off with all of them.

497
00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:03,200
Speaker 4: But it's fun, you know, it is fun to discuss

498
00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:06,640

550
00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:42,800
Speaker 4: buying should be. So you'd mentioned wide receiver duos in

551
00:29:42,840 --> 00:29:45,720
Speaker 4: the NFL. We didn't get to see the full compliment

552
00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:48,400
Speaker 4: yesterday of Jamar Chase and t Higgins with Higgins out

553
00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:52,320
Speaker 4: with the concussion, but we did get to see George Pickens,

554
00:29:53,040 --> 00:29:54,960
Speaker 4: who was quiet, as they point out in the call

555
00:29:55,040 --> 00:29:55,960
Speaker 4: for most of the game.

556
00:29:56,320 --> 00:29:59,840
Speaker 3: Ceede Lamb and I was Warriors refferts right now. I mean,

557
00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:05,800
Speaker 3: did you catch that thuriors.

558
00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:06,320
Speaker 6: Man Dallas and play.

559
00:30:07,680 --> 00:30:09,200
Speaker 3: Oh, they came out and play.

560
00:30:09,360 --> 00:30:11,280
Speaker 6: They're not a.

561
00:30:10,800 --> 00:30:11,920
Speaker 3: Dallas came out and played.

562
00:30:12,080 --> 00:30:13,400
Speaker 6: Now, they're not bad man.

563
00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:15,880
Speaker 3: I know, two wins in a row.

564
00:30:16,080 --> 00:30:20,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, As Tony Romo, uh sifted through whatever that performance

565
00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:21,680
Speaker 4: was he gave yesterday.

566
00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:27,960
Speaker 3: I mean, he's a homer. Homer. He didn't.

567
00:30:28,160 --> 00:30:30,120
Speaker 4: He did point out it was probably something he stole

568
00:30:30,160 --> 00:30:32,640
Speaker 4: from Jim Nantz's notes, but he did point out, uh,

569
00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:36,200
Speaker 4: yesterday that the Cowboys in the span of four days

570
00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:40,360
Speaker 4: beat the last two teams that were in the Super Bowl. Yeah,

571
00:30:40,480 --> 00:30:44,959
Speaker 4: I mean it look, it's something I don't know if

572
00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:47,080
Speaker 4: it results in a playoff spot. I don't know if

573
00:30:47,080 --> 00:30:50,480
Speaker 4: it results and in Dallas making a you know, making

574
00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:53,680
Speaker 4: a run at this thing. I'll h potentially Cincinnati. But

575
00:30:54,880 --> 00:30:58,840
Speaker 4: the defense looks better and they've slowly gotten better and

576
00:30:58,840 --> 00:31:00,960
Speaker 4: better throughout the course of the year, and the offense

577
00:31:01,040 --> 00:31:03,520
Speaker 4: has been you know, clicking for majority of the season.

578
00:31:03,600 --> 00:31:07,120
Speaker 4: I mean, Dak Prescott's been fantastic and uh, and Dallas

579
00:31:07,160 --> 00:31:11,040
Speaker 4: with another big win, another big win. Who needs Michael Parsons,

580
00:31:11,040 --> 00:31:11,600
Speaker 4: you know what I mean?

581
00:31:11,880 --> 00:31:14,480
Speaker 5: Like, well, Michael Parsons is doing what he needs to

582
00:31:14,520 --> 00:31:17,520
Speaker 5: do where he's at as well, by the way, Uh,

583
00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:20,720
Speaker 5: but that doesn't mean that one has to be untrue,

584
00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:23,480
Speaker 5: you know, or one has to be yeah, right, one

585
00:31:23,520 --> 00:31:25,480
Speaker 5: has to be untrue for the other to be true,

586
00:31:25,520 --> 00:31:27,880
Speaker 5: you know what I mean? Like Micah is what Micah

587
00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:33,280
Speaker 5: is and they see the impact of that, and you

588
00:31:33,280 --> 00:31:36,680
Speaker 5: know Green Bay, but you can see the impact of

589
00:31:36,720 --> 00:31:41,440
Speaker 5: what decisions that have been made for for the Dallas Cowboys,

590
00:31:42,600 --> 00:31:44,800
Speaker 5: they wanted to shore up the center of their defense

591
00:31:45,560 --> 00:31:48,320
Speaker 5: and they did so. It's a it's a very very

592
00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:54,440
Speaker 5: stout interior defensive line for for Dallas. They feel like

593
00:31:54,480 --> 00:31:57,560
Speaker 5: they can get get away with it with with you know,

594
00:31:57,960 --> 00:32:03,240
Speaker 5: veterans like Clowney on the outside. It's worked. There's balance there,

595
00:32:03,680 --> 00:32:07,680
Speaker 5: They're they're getting solid play from the secondary, and like

596
00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:12,040
Speaker 5: we mentioned, Dak Prescott is playing at an MVP level

597
00:32:12,080 --> 00:32:15,480
Speaker 5: this year. They don't have the type of running game

598
00:32:15,720 --> 00:32:18,920
Speaker 5: that that would say they should have the type of

599
00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:23,000
Speaker 5: success or balance as a total offense, which they've usually

600
00:32:23,120 --> 00:32:23,640
Speaker 5: led with the.

601
00:32:23,680 --> 00:32:25,120
Speaker 3: Run, but they were able to run.

602
00:32:25,200 --> 00:32:28,840
Speaker 5: They they got a nice touchdown run out of I

603
00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:32,600
Speaker 5: forget the backs name, but tall back, fast back. They

604
00:32:32,600 --> 00:32:34,840
Speaker 5: had a nice run from him out of the run game.

605
00:32:35,520 --> 00:32:38,760
Speaker 5: But they have largely in part been able to cut

606
00:32:38,840 --> 00:32:43,760
Speaker 5: people up with their passing game and Pickens and Ceedee

607
00:32:43,840 --> 00:32:47,560
Speaker 5: lamb Are that's it. That's that to me, that is

608
00:32:47,720 --> 00:32:51,760
Speaker 5: the best receiver tandem in all of football. And it's

609
00:32:51,880 --> 00:32:57,320
Speaker 5: amazing that that Pittsburgh would get rid of him based

610
00:32:57,320 --> 00:33:00,040
Speaker 5: off of I get it, whatever it is that that

611
00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:02,600
Speaker 5: was going on there, they didn't want to deal with it.

612
00:33:02,640 --> 00:33:04,000
Speaker 3: They unloaded it. I get it.

613
00:33:04,480 --> 00:33:09,240
Speaker 5: But a DK Metcalf with Pickens is the best wide

614
00:33:09,360 --> 00:33:13,440
Speaker 5: receiver tandem in the National Football League. I'm wondering, what

615
00:33:13,640 --> 00:33:19,000
Speaker 5: is the common denominator here? Pickens is now in Dallas.

616
00:33:19,560 --> 00:33:23,920
Speaker 5: Dallas has the best receiving corps in all of the

617
00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:27,280
Speaker 5: National Football League. You would have had that in Pittsburgh

618
00:33:27,560 --> 00:33:31,480
Speaker 5: if you have Pickens with with who am I talking

619
00:33:31,520 --> 00:33:33,720
Speaker 5: about with DK Metcalf.

620
00:33:33,320 --> 00:33:35,600
Speaker 4: Well, I think I don't know if they were going

621
00:33:35,680 --> 00:33:37,760
Speaker 4: to be able to make both both of those work.

622
00:33:37,840 --> 00:33:40,160
Speaker 4: I mean, they could get financially, but I think that

623
00:33:40,480 --> 00:33:42,640
Speaker 4: you know, Pickens had kind of run its run its

624
00:33:42,720 --> 00:33:43,360
Speaker 4: wes there.

625
00:33:43,960 --> 00:33:47,120
Speaker 6: How Look, that's a fair question.

626
00:33:48,560 --> 00:33:50,840
Speaker 4: This might be this might be the one receiver that

627
00:33:50,920 --> 00:33:53,080
Speaker 4: got away from the Steelers where you're like, man, maybe

628
00:33:53,120 --> 00:33:55,040
Speaker 4: you should have held on him. Like they've got a

629
00:33:55,120 --> 00:33:58,360
Speaker 4: history of knowing when to turn the page on receivers.

630
00:33:58,800 --> 00:34:01,360
Speaker 4: And maybe George Pickens is, you know, in a contract year,

631
00:34:01,440 --> 00:34:04,040
Speaker 4: so he's looking at this as an opportunity to get

632
00:34:04,040 --> 00:34:06,000
Speaker 4: paid and then he goes back to his old ways.

633
00:34:06,560 --> 00:34:09,719
Speaker 4: But he's awesome, man, Like he's like he's been awesome for.

634
00:34:09,680 --> 00:34:10,600
Speaker 3: The girls, cowboy.

635
00:34:10,760 --> 00:34:13,480
Speaker 5: If we're being honest here, like like here's a very

636
00:34:13,520 --> 00:34:18,719
Speaker 5: real moment. Okay, he I know the because he's a

637
00:34:18,840 --> 00:34:23,600
Speaker 5: draft pick to them and the emotional connection to Cede Lamb.

638
00:34:23,960 --> 00:34:26,759
Speaker 5: You'll say Ceedee Lamb is the main guy. I would

639
00:34:26,880 --> 00:34:29,920
Speaker 5: challenge you today and say that the main receiver, the

640
00:34:29,920 --> 00:34:34,960
Speaker 5: most dangerous weapon on that team is Pickens. It's Pickens,

641
00:34:35,320 --> 00:34:38,560
Speaker 5: then it's Ceedee Lamb. And I'm not trying to turn

642
00:34:38,600 --> 00:34:42,640
Speaker 5: this into a thing. I'm just telling you your your

643
00:34:42,840 --> 00:34:47,560
Speaker 5: most dangerous weapon on that team right now is George Pickens.

644
00:34:47,640 --> 00:34:52,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, he's got a the Ceedee Lamb's the more consistent receiver.

645
00:34:52,520 --> 00:34:55,080
Speaker 4: But George Pickens has got some freak to him, Like

646
00:34:55,120 --> 00:34:57,200
Speaker 4: there's like he made like that will that play then

647
00:34:57,280 --> 00:35:01,680
Speaker 4: I don't me like that that play that I hate

648
00:35:02,880 --> 00:35:05,360
Speaker 4: that that play that he made where that we listened

649
00:35:05,360 --> 00:35:07,360
Speaker 4: to where he hurtled over the like I thought he

650
00:35:07,400 --> 00:35:09,440
Speaker 4: was going to take that to the house, and I

651
00:35:09,480 --> 00:35:12,160
Speaker 4: don't look Ceedee Lamb's a great wide receiver, is one

652
00:35:12,200 --> 00:35:13,960
Speaker 4: of the better wide receivers in the league. But George

653
00:35:14,040 --> 00:35:16,279
Speaker 4: Pickens does some things each game and he was doing

654
00:35:16,520 --> 00:35:18,440
Speaker 4: Look he did that in Pittsburgh where he would do

655
00:35:18,520 --> 00:35:20,880
Speaker 4: things in a game where he'd make a grab and

656
00:35:20,880 --> 00:35:23,160
Speaker 4: you go, how many guys in the league can do that?

657
00:35:23,640 --> 00:35:26,000
Speaker 4: And then two plays later, you know he's getting in

658
00:35:26,040 --> 00:35:29,319
Speaker 4: a fight like it's just but he's that, like he's

659
00:35:29,360 --> 00:35:33,239
Speaker 4: the perfect Cowboys wide receiver, George Pickens, like he's he's

660
00:35:33,280 --> 00:35:34,280
Speaker 4: perfect for that team.

661
00:35:34,960 --> 00:35:40,239
Speaker 5: I think he Here's the interesting thing, right, George Pickens

662
00:35:40,320 --> 00:35:44,400
Speaker 5: and Pittsburgh. He you hear reports come out of the

663
00:35:44,440 --> 00:35:48,080
Speaker 5: locker room. You you hear little things said by the

664
00:35:48,120 --> 00:35:52,120
Speaker 5: head coach about, you know, conduct, how he needs to

665
00:35:52,480 --> 00:35:55,319
Speaker 5: take steps forward as a person, or whatever it is

666
00:35:55,719 --> 00:35:59,640
Speaker 5: that was being said. You hear former players that weighed

667
00:35:59,680 --> 00:36:03,400
Speaker 5: in and commented on George Pickens. And you know, dude

668
00:36:03,480 --> 00:36:06,640
Speaker 5: is a malecontent this, that, and the other. I haven't

669
00:36:06,760 --> 00:36:14,000
Speaker 5: heard one single thing after all. And mind you, Dallas

670
00:36:14,040 --> 00:36:17,200
Speaker 5: has no problem trying to create these storylines because they

671
00:36:17,200 --> 00:36:18,920
Speaker 5: did it to Michael Parsons.

672
00:36:19,440 --> 00:36:23,719
Speaker 3: So let's not act as though it can't be. It

673
00:36:23,760 --> 00:36:24,200
Speaker 3: can't be.

674
00:36:24,440 --> 00:36:28,400
Speaker 5: The environment that you're in, sometimes more so than the

675
00:36:28,400 --> 00:36:32,680
Speaker 5: player may be it makes me wonder it's the environment.

676
00:36:32,800 --> 00:36:37,080
Speaker 5: Was the environment toxic for Michael Parsons for them to

677
00:36:37,160 --> 00:36:41,520
Speaker 5: be talking about Michael Parsons? Was the environment toxic for

678
00:36:41,719 --> 00:36:44,960
Speaker 5: George Pickens to be talked about and handled the way

679
00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:48,000
Speaker 5: he was being handled in Pittsburgh. It doesn't mean that

680
00:36:48,040 --> 00:36:51,560
Speaker 5: you can't go to another place and be accepted and

681
00:36:52,200 --> 00:36:55,120
Speaker 5: received in a different way, in a different manner in

682
00:36:55,200 --> 00:36:57,600
Speaker 5: which where you came from. Doesn't mean that it's a

683
00:36:57,600 --> 00:37:01,439
Speaker 5: bad organization. Doesn't mean that Dallas is bad, even though

684
00:37:01,719 --> 00:37:04,120
Speaker 5: their record and they're you know what, it would say

685
00:37:04,160 --> 00:37:07,239
Speaker 5: that maybe they're not great. But with Pittsburgh, you're not

686
00:37:07,280 --> 00:37:09,239
Speaker 5: gonna say, Okay, this is a bad organization.

687
00:37:09,680 --> 00:37:11,320
Speaker 3: They got it wrong with George Pickens.

688
00:37:11,360 --> 00:37:15,560
Speaker 5: But there could be the possibility that they did not

689
00:37:15,800 --> 00:37:18,839
Speaker 5: get it right with George Pickens. Whatever it may have been,

690
00:37:19,040 --> 00:37:22,399
Speaker 5: there could have been something that was resolved. There could

691
00:37:22,400 --> 00:37:25,839
Speaker 5: have been some way to talk through it in the end.

692
00:37:27,160 --> 00:37:30,920
Speaker 5: In the end, they are pros and it's about production,

693
00:37:31,640 --> 00:37:35,200
Speaker 5: and that man was productive in Pittsburgh and now he's

694
00:37:35,239 --> 00:37:39,040
Speaker 5: super productive in Dallas. And you've not you've not heard

695
00:37:39,080 --> 00:37:43,880
Speaker 5: a word about about George Pickens in Dallas in terms

696
00:37:43,880 --> 00:37:46,840
Speaker 5: of him being cancerous in the locker room, him not

697
00:37:46,920 --> 00:37:50,200
Speaker 5: being about football, him being a malcontent, And the same

698
00:37:50,320 --> 00:37:53,719
Speaker 5: goes for the guy that departed Dallas. You haven't heard

699
00:37:53,719 --> 00:37:57,560
Speaker 5: anything out of any anybody or or any types of

700
00:37:57,600 --> 00:38:02,319
Speaker 5: reports in Green Bay with Michael Parsons. So sometimes it's

701
00:38:02,360 --> 00:38:05,760
Speaker 5: just a matter of having a new environment and having

702
00:38:05,760 --> 00:38:07,920
Speaker 5: a fresh start, and that's.

703
00:38:07,719 --> 00:38:10,280
Speaker 3: What they did. But I'll tell you what you made.

704
00:38:10,719 --> 00:38:16,359
Speaker 5: You got upset for Cleveland trading Joe Joe Flacco to Cincinnati.

705
00:38:16,640 --> 00:38:19,000
Speaker 5: You should be upset that you gave George Pickens a

706
00:38:19,000 --> 00:38:21,120
Speaker 5: way to any other team that had a number one

707
00:38:21,160 --> 00:38:24,600
Speaker 5: receiver of the caliber of a CD Lamb. Damn, that's

708
00:38:24,600 --> 00:38:26,879
Speaker 5: what you should have been upset with. While you give

709
00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:30,879
Speaker 5: while you get Dallas George Pickens, and they have Cede Lamb,

710
00:38:30,920 --> 00:38:32,680
Speaker 5: and they're gonna have both of those guys on the

711
00:38:32,719 --> 00:38:33,239
Speaker 5: same team.

712
00:38:33,239 --> 00:38:34,400
Speaker 3: I know it's on the other side of.

713
00:38:34,360 --> 00:38:37,279
Speaker 5: The division, but God dang, who cares you might have

714
00:38:37,360 --> 00:38:39,399
Speaker 5: to deal with them because of how good those two

715
00:38:39,520 --> 00:38:41,400
Speaker 5: are together on the football field.

716
00:38:42,600 --> 00:38:45,839

Speaker 3: Yep, thank you, I got you, buddy.

759
00:40:41,160 --> 00:40:43,080
Speaker 11: But let's start with this in case you missed it.

760
00:40:43,360 --> 00:40:47,480
Speaker 11: Justin Jefferson was asked about the Vikings backup quarterback Max Brosmer,

761
00:40:47,480 --> 00:40:48,920
Speaker 11: who is set to start this week in place of

762
00:40:49,000 --> 00:40:52,240
Speaker 11: JJ McCarthy. He said quote, he's definitely a good QB

763
00:40:52,520 --> 00:40:54,279
Speaker 11: to be able to fit in with this offense and

764
00:40:54,320 --> 00:40:57,560
Speaker 11: create a spark for us. That's something we really need

765
00:40:57,640 --> 00:40:59,840
Speaker 11: right now. So a little bit of an indirect j

766
00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:01,960
Speaker 11: Abba JJ McCarthy, what do you think guys?

767
00:41:02,239 --> 00:41:03,080
Speaker 6: I was being honest.

768
00:41:03,800 --> 00:41:08,279
Speaker 5: It's tang like. I mean, that's kind of the only

769
00:41:08,320 --> 00:41:10,960
Speaker 5: way to interpret it, right. They need a spark, you know.

770
00:41:10,880 --> 00:41:13,239
Speaker 4: Have been great if justin Jefferson, they would have said,

771
00:41:13,239 --> 00:41:15,799
Speaker 4: he so, what's the what's your favorite thing about Max

772
00:41:15,840 --> 00:41:18,040
Speaker 4: Brosmer's like, oh, that he's not JJ McCarthy.

773
00:41:18,200 --> 00:41:21,160
Speaker 3: That might have been the funniest thing that could have

774
00:41:21,200 --> 00:41:22,000
Speaker 3: been funny.

775
00:41:21,880 --> 00:41:25,560
Speaker 6: Just to see. Because man, the JJ McCarthy thing that

776
00:41:25,680 --> 00:41:27,120
Speaker 6: is not going well.

777
00:41:26,960 --> 00:41:28,080
Speaker 3: Where do you go after that?

778
00:41:28,360 --> 00:41:31,160
Speaker 5: I don't know's the team if you if you want

779
00:41:31,200 --> 00:41:33,520
Speaker 5: to your players comes out and says that were where

780
00:41:33,520 --> 00:41:34,239
Speaker 5: do you go next?

781
00:41:34,440 --> 00:41:35,920
Speaker 3: Where you where do we go from here?

782
00:41:36,200 --> 00:41:38,399
Speaker 4: The other thing that I think it's lost in all

783
00:41:38,400 --> 00:41:40,880
Speaker 4: of it is because people point out, man, you decided

784
00:41:40,920 --> 00:41:43,200
Speaker 4: to move on from Sam Donald, and you decided to

785
00:41:43,200 --> 00:41:45,200
Speaker 4: move on from Donald, and what did Sam Donald do

786
00:41:45,520 --> 00:41:48,600
Speaker 4: since he's gotten to Seattle? They also decided to move

787
00:41:48,600 --> 00:41:52,399
Speaker 4: on from Daniel Jones too, like that he was also there,

788
00:41:52,600 --> 00:41:55,680
Speaker 4: like he signed with Minnesota, so it just it is

789
00:41:55,719 --> 00:41:58,040
Speaker 4: not gone. Well, I mean it's pretty early, but he

790
00:41:58,120 --> 00:42:00,879
Speaker 4: just hasn't been available. Also hasn't been able to stay

791
00:42:00,880 --> 00:42:02,640
Speaker 4: healthy and now he's out again with a concussion.

792
00:42:02,800 --> 00:42:06,120
Speaker 3: So yeah, it's wild man, Oh wow.

793
00:42:07,760 --> 00:42:08,400
Speaker 6: Riverside.

794
00:42:10,160 --> 00:42:12,600
Speaker 11: Yeah, and it's like, well, Max Brosmer is the one

795
00:42:12,600 --> 00:42:14,520
Speaker 11: that you're saying creates a spark over mcargraphy.

796
00:42:14,600 --> 00:42:17,960
Speaker 6: That's that's correct, That is correct. Anyway.

797
00:42:18,000 --> 00:42:21,000
Speaker 11: Next up, Ryan Days pulling an interesting move ahead of

798
00:42:21,000 --> 00:42:24,520
Speaker 11: Ohio State's rivalry game versus Michigan. Here, he's decided to

799
00:42:24,520 --> 00:42:26,359
Speaker 11: have his team fly to Ann Arbor for the game,

800
00:42:26,360 --> 00:42:29,120
Speaker 11: as opposed to take the bus as they've historically done

801
00:42:29,120 --> 00:42:31,480
Speaker 11: for the matchup. Day said, the Buckeyes fly to their

802
00:42:31,480 --> 00:42:33,280
Speaker 11: other road game, so he wants to quote.

803
00:42:33,120 --> 00:42:35,759
Speaker 6: Keep the routine, the routine, that's what it is. And

804
00:42:35,800 --> 00:42:38,520
Speaker 6: he knows the past.

805
00:42:38,320 --> 00:42:40,160
Speaker 11: Four years hasn't worked, so he's trying to make some

806
00:42:40,200 --> 00:42:40,920
Speaker 11: adjustments here.

807
00:42:40,960 --> 00:42:43,560
Speaker 3: But any old thing at this point, now.
