1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:20,080
Speaker 1: Yea, Hey, everybody, welcome to Good Morning Football. No more

2
00:00:20,200 --> 00:00:23,479
Speaker 1: Thursday night action, but we've got playoff invocations. One final

3
00:00:23,720 --> 00:00:27,080
Speaker 1: week of action until the postseason. Our shows presented to you,

4
00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:29,400
Speaker 1: but El Trapper, Beef Jurkey. We're live in New Orchis,

5
00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:32,800
Speaker 1: January sixth. Already, my name's Kay, Adam Skyle Brand, Peter Schrager,

6
00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:35,040
Speaker 1: and our Hall of Fame wide receiver Chris Carter, who

7
00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:36,839
Speaker 1: is sweating a busy day. You gotta go. We go

8
00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:38,920
Speaker 1: on homework action pack. Talk to me, what are you

9
00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:40,720
Speaker 1: got going on? I got a lot of video, a

10
00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:43,040
Speaker 1: lot of highlight. Went back last night and watched the

11
00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:47,000
Speaker 1: whole ninety eighth season. Randy Moss wife every catch huh,

12
00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:49,680
Speaker 1: had already watched the Bengals in Chase. So now I'm

13
00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:52,400
Speaker 1: making a comparison between these two, and trust me, it's

14
00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:54,480
Speaker 1: a hot seat to be on. To back up the

15
00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:58,720
Speaker 1: statement I said yesterday that Jamar is the best rookie

16
00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:00,920
Speaker 1: wide receiver that I have seen. Yes, you heard it.

17
00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:02,600
Speaker 1: I called him that. I know. Yeah, Mark, it's a

18
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:04,840
Speaker 1: beautiful trademarked it and you nailed it, and you're gonna

19
00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:06,199
Speaker 1: back it up to the end to build to break

20
00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:08,800
Speaker 1: it down and buy the thinnest of margins. I'll go

21
00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:12,040
Speaker 1: to show you, guys why I came to that. That's

22
00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:13,960
Speaker 1: Rock not the only wide receiver we're talking about. We

23
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:17,080
Speaker 1: got a Cooper Cut breakdown. We've got let's see what

24
00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:19,960
Speaker 1: do we have. We've got Chris Collinsworth on the program.

25
00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:24,800
Speaker 1: Jan Garcia will be Dion Brown super Bowl MVP. Excited

26
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:26,600
Speaker 1: to have him, of course, and his time now for

27
00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:31,040
Speaker 1: the lead. All right, entering Week eighteen, neiks rags like

28
00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:34,600
Speaker 1: the nut little flip. The regular season's wrapping up. Everyone's

29
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:38,360
Speaker 1: talking MVP veterans. Chicago sports writer an MVP voter Hub

30
00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:41,800
Speaker 1: Arkish had some strong words on why he would not

31
00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:44,800
Speaker 1: be voting for Aaron Rodgers next week. Take a listen

32
00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:47,800
Speaker 1: to his reasoning and will discuss, and we've got Rogers

33
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:52,640
Speaker 1: response to I've been pretty consistent about that all year. Um,

34
00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:54,440
Speaker 1: I don't think you can be the biggest jerk in

35
00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:57,040
Speaker 1: the league and punish your team and your organization, your

36
00:01:57,080 --> 00:01:59,160
Speaker 1: fan base the way he did and be the most

37
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:03,120
Speaker 1: valuable player. Has he been the most valuable on the field. Yeah,

38
00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:05,200
Speaker 1: you could make that argument, but I don't think he

39
00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:09,640
Speaker 1: is clearly that much more valuable than than Jonathan Taylor

40
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:13,760
Speaker 1: or Cooper Cup or maybe even Tom Brady. And and

41
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:16,280
Speaker 1: so from where I sit, the rest of it is

42
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:18,720
Speaker 1: why he's not going to be my choice. Do I

43
00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:21,440
Speaker 1: think he's gonna win it? Probably? You know a lot

44
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:23,399
Speaker 1: of the voters don't. Don't approach it the same way

45
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:25,360
Speaker 1: that I do. Others do who I've spoken to, I

46
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:28,639
Speaker 1: think he's a bomb. I think he's an absolute bomb.

47
00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:31,640
Speaker 1: You don't know me. I don't know who he is.

48
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:34,320
Speaker 1: No one knew who he was, probably until yesterday's comments.

49
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:37,840
Speaker 1: But I mean, and I listen to the comments, but

50
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:41,240
Speaker 1: to say he has mind made up in the summertime,

51
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:44,240
Speaker 1: in the off season, that you know I had zero

52
00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:47,840
Speaker 1: chance and went in to Vpete, my opinion should exclude

53
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:54,400
Speaker 1: you know, future future votes. Um, you know, his problem

54
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:57,640
Speaker 1: isn't with me being a bad guy or the biggest

55
00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:01,160
Speaker 1: jerk in the league. Know me. You know he doesn't

56
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:02,840
Speaker 1: know any about me. I mean, I've never met him

57
00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:04,880
Speaker 1: on there at lunch with him, I've never had an

58
00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:09,320
Speaker 1: interview with him. His problem is I'm not vaccinated, you know,

59
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:11,920
Speaker 1: So if he wants to go on a crusade and

60
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:17,040
Speaker 1: collude and come up with an extra letter to put

61
00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:20,360
Speaker 1: on the award just for this season and make it

62
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:23,880
Speaker 1: the most valuable vaccinated player. Then he should do that.

63
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:32,360
Speaker 1: But he's a bomb the MVP. Potentially, he's a bumb

64
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:34,440
Speaker 1: You don't hear that much anymore. In twenty twenty two,

65
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:38,240
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers, the reigning MVP, bringing it back now, I

66
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:42,520
Speaker 1: will say arkish apologize yesterday, not for the way he's

67
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:46,880
Speaker 1: voting or his thoughts. He apologized for disclosing his voting preference,

68
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:50,440
Speaker 1: which is not allowed as a voter of the MVP,

69
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 1: and for some of the quote childish things he said

70
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:58,280
Speaker 1: about the Packers quarterback. Let's get reactions here at the table.

71
00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:00,680
Speaker 1: I can feel the heats. It's palpable. Carter, what do

72
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:03,720
Speaker 1: you got? Well? This to me, this hits right at home,

73
00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:07,560
Speaker 1: because I'll take you back twenty thirteen. At that time,

74
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:11,360
Speaker 1: for those who don't know, I was second in catches

75
00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:16,000
Speaker 1: in NFL history, second in touchdowns eleven catches, one hundred

76
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:19,360
Speaker 1: and thirty touchdowns, and I come up for the Pro

77
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:25,039
Speaker 1: Football Hall of Fame, And at that point I never

78
00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:27,839
Speaker 1: really thought that much about it. How much these voters

79
00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:33,080
Speaker 1: held my future in their hands, and they decided that

80
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 1: those numbers were not good enough for me to be

81
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:39,440
Speaker 1: the first ballot Hall of Famer. And then the thing

82
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:43,520
Speaker 1: that really got me upset was because of my childish

83
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:46,760
Speaker 1: reaction and being upset about it, they began to spread

84
00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:51,400
Speaker 1: that blasphem in the room that for the next five

85
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:54,040
Speaker 1: years I didn't even get close. So I didn't even

86
00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:56,360
Speaker 1: go on the field ever again. But that first time

87
00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:59,360
Speaker 1: getting in, that's when I was the closest to getting in.

88
00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:02,400
Speaker 1: And then and they started talking amongst each other. So

89
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:05,279
Speaker 1: I understand what Aaron is going through right now. And

90
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:09,160
Speaker 1: players are judged by their numbers, by their wins, and

91
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:12,600
Speaker 1: by the accolades that they get. And for me, at

92
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:16,359
Speaker 1: that time in two and thirteen, I think that I

93
00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:19,440
Speaker 1: had about fourteen years of sobriety. I had turned my

94
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:21,479
Speaker 1: life around, I had been to Walter Payton Man of

95
00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:24,720
Speaker 1: the Year, I had helped so many other players try

96
00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:27,960
Speaker 1: to have a productive career. And for these people to

97
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:31,560
Speaker 1: somehow come up with ideas that, oh, he'll get in

98
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:35,040
Speaker 1: next year, that was the worst excuse ever. So I

99
00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:38,159
Speaker 1: feel for Aaron and people should be able to remove

100
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:41,280
Speaker 1: their biases before they vote on these things. Because I'm

101
00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:43,000
Speaker 1: gonna tell you something. I've been in a lot of buildings.

102
00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:46,039
Speaker 1: There's jerks in every building, and I can give you

103
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:49,640
Speaker 1: a list of journalists that are jerks. I've been doing

104
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:52,279
Speaker 1: this a minute. There's a bunch of them that are jerks.

105
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:54,560
Speaker 1: And he was wrong about Aaron Rodgers. There are a

106
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:56,480
Speaker 1: lot of jerks in the NFL. He's not the biggest one.

107
00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:58,840
Speaker 1: What happened to he was an embarrassment. What happened to

108
00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:01,040
Speaker 1: Tarlanes was an embarrassment. I think this is an embarrassment.

109
00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:03,440
Speaker 1: And this is not about the hub Man, this guy

110
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:04,800
Speaker 1: that I know a lot of people haven't heard of.

111
00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:08,960
Speaker 1: He's having a week. It's it's not about not about

112
00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:11,800
Speaker 1: the Hub. He became the internet's most second popular hub

113
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:16,520
Speaker 1: this week. But it's about the other people. Because Hub's

114
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:20,200
Speaker 1: the only guy reckless enough to just say it. I

115
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:22,200
Speaker 1: would bet my life that there are a lot of

116
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:23,720
Speaker 1: other voters who are thinking it, and a lot of

117
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:25,640
Speaker 1: other voters are going to vote that way. Now, after

118
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:28,239
Speaker 1: this came out, a lot of the voters who guys

119
00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:31,799
Speaker 1: we know and respect, and they've absolutely said this is embarrassment.

120
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:33,599
Speaker 1: Strip him of his vote. This is not what it's about.

121
00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:35,800
Speaker 1: There's a lot of them out there, and I mean

122
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:39,719
Speaker 1: some big fish who haven't said squat, who haven't tweeted squat,

123
00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:45,120
Speaker 1: who are just silent, and I just nobody crusades like

124
00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:48,280
Speaker 1: a sportswriter with a vote. Nobody. And there is this

125
00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:51,560
Speaker 1: inflated self importance. You know what I think is, I've

126
00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:54,880
Speaker 1: got the ball. Now, it's my ball. I'm the star. No,

127
00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:58,320
Speaker 1: I'm the quarterback. I'm gonna throw a touchdown. And it's

128
00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:01,560
Speaker 1: especially now, this is a different era and this just

129
00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:04,120
Speaker 1: demands a different perspective. It's not this is not a

130
00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:06,280
Speaker 1: Nobel Prizer handing on. This an award for a man

131
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:09,240
Speaker 1: throwing a football. Whoever throws the ball into the part

132
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:11,840
Speaker 1: of the field with the paint on it, vote for him.

133
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:14,560
Speaker 1: But I'm telling you, and I'll take this step further.

134
00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:17,360
Speaker 1: We're gonna see how this weekend goes. And I think

135
00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:21,040
Speaker 1: Brady's gonna play. I think Brady's gonna win the MVP. Really, yes,

136
00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:23,240
Speaker 1: I do. And I think it's gonna have a lot

137
00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:24,440
Speaker 1: to do with this. And I think there are a

138
00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:26,880
Speaker 1: lot of people laying in wait who are not going

139
00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:29,600
Speaker 1: to vote for Rodgers. And listen, PFF came out with

140
00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:31,280
Speaker 1: the whole thing where they think Brady should win it

141
00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:32,760
Speaker 1: based on football that has nothing to do with it.

142
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:35,480
Speaker 1: There is a whole thing with Brady, And if Brady

143
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:37,400
Speaker 1: goes three touchdowns this weekend, I think we're gonna be

144
00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:38,920
Speaker 1: there in NFL owners and I think it's gonna be

145
00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:41,560
Speaker 1: Brady winning the MVP. And I think a large part

146
00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:44,360
Speaker 1: of it is going to be crusading sports writers don't

147
00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:46,440
Speaker 1: want to vote for Rogers. Yeah, I think this is

148
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:53,440
Speaker 1: the most hotly contested MVP vote. Without that aspect of it,

149
00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:55,520
Speaker 1: I think you can make the case for Brady. I

150
00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:57,680
Speaker 1: think you can make the case for Cooper Cup. Cooper

151
00:07:57,720 --> 00:07:59,320
Speaker 1: Cup is doing things as a wide receiver that no

152
00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:00,760
Speaker 1: one in the history the game is done. We said

153
00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:03,640
Speaker 1: it last week nineteen ninety five. Jerry Rice's season is, dude,

154
00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:05,400
Speaker 1: is one of the greatest of all time. If you

155
00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:07,040
Speaker 1: look at just a sixteen game basis, and I know

156
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:09,000
Speaker 1: it's a different era and how the defense was played,

157
00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:11,720
Speaker 1: what Cooper Cup is doing, he's right up there. So

158
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:15,520
Speaker 1: let's just put it from the football standpoint there. Now,

159
00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:18,800
Speaker 1: are we going to invalidate a Cooper Cup MVP or

160
00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:23,040
Speaker 1: invalidate a Tom Brady MVP and immediately say, oh, it's

161
00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:27,000
Speaker 1: because Rogers wasn't back. I would just hope that if

162
00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:30,320
Speaker 1: Rogers doesn't win, that this thing doesn't have an asterisk

163
00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:34,520
Speaker 1: on it because of what Hub said and the reaction afterwards.

164
00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:36,680
Speaker 1: And I would hope that the voters the forty nine

165
00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:39,600
Speaker 1: others and this is like the reverse reverse psychology vote

166
00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:41,920
Speaker 1: for like if I was voting and I'm not, I'm

167
00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:44,520
Speaker 1: not an AP voter, and the AP gives these to

168
00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:46,960
Speaker 1: fifty different voters, and they put it in they going

169
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:48,640
Speaker 1: on for one player now like you rank them in

170
00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:50,520
Speaker 1: a ballot, and the whole thing right for one player.

171
00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:52,559
Speaker 1: And that's why Russell Wilson's never gotten a vote because

172
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:56,120
Speaker 1: he's never been the number one guy. I would hope

173
00:08:56,160 --> 00:09:02,000
Speaker 1: that they don't feel bullied, not but by the response

174
00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:06,560
Speaker 1: that Hub got by saying he wasn't voting for Rogers. Yeah,

175
00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:10,560
Speaker 1: like reverse psychologue. I hope that they don't say, we

176
00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:12,520
Speaker 1: don't want to lose our vote as an MVP and

177
00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:14,599
Speaker 1: community with the integrity of it, So let's vote for

178
00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:16,319
Speaker 1: Rogers over Rogers and give them what they want. And

179
00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:19,080
Speaker 1: social media, we're sorry, and Mike Florio and Field Yates

180
00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:20,800
Speaker 1: and all of you who made tweets about how it's

181
00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:24,280
Speaker 1: ridiculous to comments stories. We're sorry, no vote for who

182
00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:27,120
Speaker 1: you think should be MVP, and that's it. And if

183
00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:28,920
Speaker 1: it's anonymous, great, if you want to come out with it, great,

184
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:32,000
Speaker 1: But if you think Cooper Cup and Tom Brady's the MVP,

185
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:34,760
Speaker 1: vote for Cup, Tom Bradyer and Cooper Cup. I don't

186
00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:36,760
Speaker 1: want this to be the reason why Rogers wins it

187
00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:39,240
Speaker 1: because it's a backlash to Hubbs comments in week seventeen.

188
00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:41,120
Speaker 1: Sorry to our producers, We're gonna go over on this.

189
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:44,680
Speaker 1: Crisco one of the little small things too, and people

190
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:47,839
Speaker 1: don't know this. Um. I wasn't close to my father.

191
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:50,880
Speaker 1: I was raised by a mom. She raised seven kids

192
00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:54,920
Speaker 1: before the age of twenty tive in twenty nineteen when

193
00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:56,920
Speaker 1: I got in Hall of Fame. My dad had Alzheimer's

194
00:09:56,920 --> 00:10:00,199
Speaker 1: and dementia. When he was at the nursing home. Every

195
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:02,240
Speaker 1: day he used to wake up and ask the people,

196
00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:04,160
Speaker 1: am I going to the Hall of Fame to see

197
00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:07,400
Speaker 1: my son? And he's be like, no, mister Carter. And

198
00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:09,800
Speaker 1: ultimately when I do go to Ken he was there.

199
00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:14,280
Speaker 1: He didn't know I was there, but he had a

200
00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:15,920
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame hat on when he went back to

201
00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:18,040
Speaker 1: the nursing home. And that's all every day just check

202
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:19,840
Speaker 1: them see in his hat, And every day asked the people,

203
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:21,360
Speaker 1: am I going to see my son at the Hall

204
00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:24,120
Speaker 1: of Fame? So you give a chance to give people

205
00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:26,760
Speaker 1: the roses while they're alive, give them to him. My

206
00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:28,560
Speaker 1: father was not a great man in my life by

207
00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:32,679
Speaker 1: no measure, but that honor he deserved too. And so

208
00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:35,280
Speaker 1: you hold these things back from people. There's other stories

209
00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:39,520
Speaker 1: behind these people that helped them get there. We'll leave

210
00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:42,080
Speaker 1: it there at GMFB with your thoughts will bring an

211
00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:44,320
Speaker 1: Ian rapping for it now. Maybe we'll hit this story

212
00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:47,000
Speaker 1: a little bit later with more thoughts and different angles.

213
00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:49,439
Speaker 1: Criteria for the MVP. I'd love that. I wouldn't looked

214
00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:51,280
Speaker 1: on the website show because I couldn't find it. You

215
00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:53,280
Speaker 1: go and you you're a judge for a chili cook off.

216
00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:58,000
Speaker 1: It says consistency flavor ingredients. What I don't really have that,

217
00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:02,120
Speaker 1: I mean, voters. That's weird, just intentionally that way. I

218
00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:03,719
Speaker 1: do you think there's a difference between Hall of Fame

219
00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:05,959
Speaker 1: and the criteria for that and MVP. Maybe we'll dig

220
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:07,960
Speaker 1: into it later on in the show. I would just

221
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:10,440
Speaker 1: ask people out there. Did it affect his team any

222
00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:13,720
Speaker 1: of the things. The craziest thing is that Arcus said

223
00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:16,120
Speaker 1: that he had his mind made up before the season started.

224
00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:19,240
Speaker 1: That was a crazy admission. Ian, Thank you so much

225
00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:22,000
Speaker 1: for being here. The Niners looking to secure a playoff spot,

226
00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:25,240
Speaker 1: will they have Jimmy Garoppolo. On Sunday, Derrick Henry is

227
00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:29,199
Speaker 1: back at practice. What is the latest? First of all,

228
00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:31,640
Speaker 1: thank you guys for that discussion. So much of this process,

229
00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:33,920
Speaker 1: it seems, needs to be reviewed or at least looked

230
00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:37,400
Speaker 1: at extremely closely. You don't hear a lot of discussions

231
00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:40,319
Speaker 1: like that, so thank you. As far as the Jimmy

232
00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:43,760
Speaker 1: Garoppolo situation, another topic that I think needs some discussing.

233
00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:47,480
Speaker 1: Jimmy Garoppolo did actually practice finally for the San Francisco

234
00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:50,400
Speaker 1: forty nine ers on Wednesday's first practice in a couple

235
00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:52,680
Speaker 1: of weeks. Remember, he's dealing with a torn ligament in

236
00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:56,040
Speaker 1: his thumb and a bone chip. So Garoppolo was able

237
00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:59,640
Speaker 1: to throw. That's good, But his reaction to having to

238
00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:03,200
Speaker 1: throw was not so great. He said it hurts like bleep,

239
00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:07,320
Speaker 1: and he described throwing as basically having the wedding of

240
00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:11,160
Speaker 1: his hand torn off with each throw. It is still possible.

241
00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:13,800
Speaker 1: I guess that he plays on Sunday, but that sounds

242
00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:17,000
Speaker 1: extremely painful. We'll see if he has any residual effects today.

243
00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:21,679
Speaker 1: Opposite end of the spectrum for Derrick Henry. Finally, King Henry,

244
00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:23,640
Speaker 1: one of the best running backs the NFL who has

245
00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:26,839
Speaker 1: missed two months of the season after breaking a bone

246
00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:29,240
Speaker 1: in his foot and having surgery. He was out of practice.

247
00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:32,440
Speaker 1: That is not file footage. That is actual footage of

248
00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:36,120
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry at practice. A significant step. He was officially

249
00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:39,280
Speaker 1: designated to return for the Tennessee Titans. May not end

250
00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:42,199
Speaker 1: up playing this Sunday. Seems a little quick, but by

251
00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:43,880
Speaker 1: the time he gets on the field, whether or not

252
00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:46,000
Speaker 1: they have a bye, either be ten weeks or eleven

253
00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:49,400
Speaker 1: weeks from surgery, he will be at roll strength and

254
00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:53,360
Speaker 1: ready to go for the playoffs. Appreciate you, Ian, talk

255
00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:55,000
Speaker 1: to you in a bit. We've got loft to get to.

256
00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:59,440
Speaker 1: Chris Collinsworth is on the show. We're Talpa or Jamar.

257
00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:03,200
Speaker 1: Chris Carter calls, Yeah, of course the Rams and Niners.

258
00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:05,840
Speaker 1: They're facing office. You can big time NFC West Showdown

259
00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:08,560
Speaker 1: division up for grabs. We discuss what the Niners need

260
00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:11,360
Speaker 1: to do to win the game and that playoff spot. Next.

261
00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:15,640
Speaker 1: I'm major in football now. The NFL season finale is here,

262
00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:17,960
Speaker 1: and we'll get you ready with a special edition of

263
00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:22,559
Speaker 1: NFL Game Day Morning Saturday at three pm Eastern Saturday.

264
00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:25,200
Speaker 1: It's a pair of rivalry games. Are the Chiefs heading

265
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:28,720
Speaker 1: to Denver and the Cowboys in Philly. Burt Warner sits

266
00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:32,079
Speaker 1: down with Eagles quarterback Jail and hurts to find out

267
00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:34,679
Speaker 1: his mindset, heading it to the final tune up before

268
00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:42,280
Speaker 1: the playoffs. Then on Sunday, have what maybe Big Ben's

269
00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:45,520
Speaker 1: last NFL game. We'll look back on the career of

270
00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:48,160
Speaker 1: the future Hall of Famer and break down what he

271
00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:51,200
Speaker 1: needs to do to beat Baltimore. All that and more

272
00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:54,880
Speaker 1: on NFL Game Day Morning, Saturday at three pm and

273
00:13:55,120 --> 00:14:05,680
Speaker 1: Sunday at nine am Eastern. Hey, Kylie, hungry, it's starving.

274
00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:08,400
Speaker 1: Let's do it. Time for a refresh presented by Subway.

275
00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:10,400
Speaker 1: Let's take a look at the NFC playoff picture. Grab

276
00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:12,559
Speaker 1: your sonships as your side, and let's do it. The

277
00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:15,679
Speaker 1: Packers sitting at the top with their clinched number one

278
00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:19,520
Speaker 1: spot clearly Aaron Rodgers affective his team in a great way.

279
00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:21,800
Speaker 1: They have a great record this season. Wow, one game

280
00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:24,720
Speaker 1: to go. The Rams, Cardinals, and Eagles clinched the playoffs,

281
00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:27,040
Speaker 1: but not their divisions, while the Bucks and Cowboys won

282
00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:30,360
Speaker 1: their division and a postseason at birth. The Niners, they're

283
00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:32,840
Speaker 1: sitting at that six. They get in if they can

284
00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:36,600
Speaker 1: take down the number two Rams this weekend. So for

285
00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:39,520
Speaker 1: right now, let's get a update from our very own

286
00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:45,400
Speaker 1: Steve Weish on the upcoming NFC West showdown between Niners Rams. Okay,

287
00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:47,680
Speaker 1: when it comes down to this Rams Niners showdown, it

288
00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:50,760
Speaker 1: looks like a case of who will be in and

289
00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:53,680
Speaker 1: who might be in. For who will be in, it

290
00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:56,920
Speaker 1: looks like Rams running back Cam Acres, who ruptured his

291
00:14:57,040 --> 00:15:01,200
Speaker 1: achilles this summer, is going to play. He practiced fully

292
00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:04,840
Speaker 1: on Wednesday, and head coach Sean McVeigh said unless Acres

293
00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:07,960
Speaker 1: has a setback, he will be making an appearance, and

294
00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:09,960
Speaker 1: it doesn't sound like it's going to be a cameo.

295
00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:12,880
Speaker 1: He'll be in some sort of rotation with Sony Michelle,

296
00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:16,080
Speaker 1: who's been the Rams Belle Kyle Rusher especially over the

297
00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:19,640
Speaker 1: past five games. As for Niners quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo, who

298
00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:22,600
Speaker 1: injured his thumb. He said that thumbs still hurt a

299
00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:25,880
Speaker 1: day after throwing, so there's a lot of question mark

300
00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:28,600
Speaker 1: as to whether it be Garoppolo or Trey Lance starting.

301
00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:31,320
Speaker 1: And head coach Kyle Shanahan said he's going to keep

302
00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:33,880
Speaker 1: that intrigue going as he's not going to reveal who

303
00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:36,080
Speaker 1: is starting quarterback. Is going to be at least to

304
00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:41,040
Speaker 1: the media until the last minute. Okay, I appreciate you.

305
00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:44,000
Speaker 1: Why San Francisco and control of their own playoff destiny,

306
00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:46,200
Speaker 1: as we know, what do the Niners need to do

307
00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:48,640
Speaker 1: to beat these Rams and get into the playoffs? And Kyle,

308
00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:51,040
Speaker 1: how do they do it? Quarterback? Questions about they do,

309
00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:53,480
Speaker 1: but I'm talking about that. Never mind their quarterback, the

310
00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:55,560
Speaker 1: Rams quarterback matche Steffer's gonna throw you one when he

311
00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:57,320
Speaker 1: does catch it and running for a touchdown. This is

312
00:15:57,360 --> 00:16:00,240
Speaker 1: not a new thing. This has happened four times this year,

313
00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:04,360
Speaker 1: four times for a veteran quarterback. And I guess I

314
00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:05,800
Speaker 1: have to do it every week and I just keep

315
00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:07,960
Speaker 1: kicking Matt Stafford in the shins. I don't take pleasure

316
00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:11,520
Speaker 1: in it. They picked him twice. This is not a

317
00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:14,880
Speaker 1: new thing. Four times this year, just for sacred comparison,

318
00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:17,680
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers is on three and sixteen years. But we

319
00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:19,120
Speaker 1: don't need to get in Rogers. We talked about him

320
00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:21,360
Speaker 1: last segment. He's thrown for the segment. He will do it,

321
00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:23,480
Speaker 1: and then he makes the jokes after this game about

322
00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:25,880
Speaker 1: oh man, I made it really easy on them, which

323
00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:28,240
Speaker 1: I appreciate, but I would appreciate it more if he didn't.

324
00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:30,360
Speaker 1: He will throw you one, don't drop it, catch it

325
00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:31,920
Speaker 1: and return it for a touchdown and you win the game.

326
00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:33,960
Speaker 1: It's simple. He does it almost every week, no matter

327
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:35,680
Speaker 1: who's on the field, no matter who's throwing the ball.

328
00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:38,520
Speaker 1: The forty nine ers absolutely own the Rams five straight

329
00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:40,360
Speaker 1: games against Division rids. It's not like this has been

330
00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:42,800
Speaker 1: some basement team. The Rams have won two divisions and

331
00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:45,000
Speaker 1: yet they lose every time to the forty nine ers.

332
00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:47,400
Speaker 1: And yet they were given a bit of a gift

333
00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:50,120
Speaker 1: from the from the from the health gods, if you will,

334
00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:52,440
Speaker 1: and that all the defensive backs from the Niners are

335
00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:54,440
Speaker 1: out this week. They can't practice. They're all out with

336
00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:57,920
Speaker 1: COVID on the protocol and that is like hello, like

337
00:16:58,440 --> 00:17:00,560
Speaker 1: so they're working on Zoom this week. They might all

338
00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:03,160
Speaker 1: be activated Sunday and be great, but I don't care

339
00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:04,960
Speaker 1: if you don't practice all week, and it's not just

340
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:08,119
Speaker 1: one of you, it's the entire defensive backfield. Stafford, you

341
00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:10,440
Speaker 1: better have a day's at the very least. These guys

342
00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:13,040
Speaker 1: are gonna be winded and they won't have the reps. So, Stafford,

343
00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:15,560
Speaker 1: if you can't get a win over a defensive backfield

344
00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:18,200
Speaker 1: that has been out with five defensive backs all week,

345
00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:19,760
Speaker 1: I don't know if you're ever gonna get a win

346
00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:21,440
Speaker 1: over this team. That's how it comes down to. They

347
00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:23,680
Speaker 1: have to win this one. Yeah, Stafford's got to play well.

348
00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:26,720
Speaker 1: Into your point. If he's gonna throw one forty nine ers,

349
00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:28,360
Speaker 1: he's gonna throw him in the first three quarters because

350
00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:30,840
Speaker 1: he hadn't thrown any interceptions in the fourth quarters and

351
00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:33,280
Speaker 1: the first three you better get one. Try to take

352
00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:35,360
Speaker 1: it the other way a lot like Brett Farve used

353
00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:38,240
Speaker 1: to do. But I believe there will be substantial pressure

354
00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:41,480
Speaker 1: on the passing game of the forty nine ers. Jimmy

355
00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:45,400
Speaker 1: Garoppolo does not have a huge arm. That's when he's help.

356
00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:47,840
Speaker 1: He does not have a huge arm, all right, He's

357
00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:51,359
Speaker 1: got small hands and now recovering from an injury to

358
00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:53,960
Speaker 1: the hand, I think Trey Lance is going to be

359
00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:55,880
Speaker 1: the guy we're gonna have to depend on. I don't

360
00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:59,600
Speaker 1: see them throwing the ball with Garoppolo having significant pain

361
00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:02,440
Speaker 1: after throwing. He doesn't have a big time arm. So

362
00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:04,600
Speaker 1: to me, how did they get the two hundred yards

363
00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:07,879
Speaker 1: passing with the rookie? That's going to be hard to do.

364
00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:09,880
Speaker 1: They're gonna run the ball, run the ball. There's gonna

365
00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:11,800
Speaker 1: be eight guys in the box, so they're gonna have

366
00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:13,760
Speaker 1: to build throw the ball down the field, and that

367
00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:17,920
Speaker 1: concerns take the pressure off Garoppolo or Trailings by running

368
00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:19,840
Speaker 1: the ball. It's what they do really well. And then

369
00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:21,840
Speaker 1: what you do when you do that is have time

370
00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:24,560
Speaker 1: of possession. In Rams losses, they have the second worst

371
00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:26,520
Speaker 1: time of possession. They don't hold the ball, Kyle. So

372
00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:28,800
Speaker 1: to your point, what happens is like the first game

373
00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:31,639
Speaker 1: the Niners had an eleven minute drive. They give it

374
00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:33,359
Speaker 1: to Stafford and he coughs it up and he throws

375
00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:35,480
Speaker 1: it because he has this pressure thing that happens. We've

376
00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:37,159
Speaker 1: seen it over and over through his career, not just

377
00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:38,960
Speaker 1: with the Rams. You get him in the situation where

378
00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:41,119
Speaker 1: he's like, I gotta get something done. I gotta make magic,

379
00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:43,080
Speaker 1: and you can't make magic when that happens. So if

380
00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:45,080
Speaker 1: they can get the run game going early, and they

381
00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:47,320
Speaker 1: probably will because it's their bread and butter, I think

382
00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:49,560
Speaker 1: the Rams might be in trouble. All Right, more good

383
00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:53,560
Speaker 1: running football on the way. I'm gonna tell you guys something.

384
00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:57,520
Speaker 1: We've had some outstanding rookie receivers. This is the best

385
00:18:57,600 --> 00:19:00,800
Speaker 1: rookie wide receiver that I have seen. I was on

386
00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:03,240
Speaker 1: the field when that other guy, big fella. This is

387
00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:07,040
Speaker 1: a statement, Kamoss. Yeah, when he played, we had more

388
00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:09,960
Speaker 1: help around him. Randy was a little more limited as

389
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:12,560
Speaker 1: far as what he could do and what he understood.

390
00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:16,880
Speaker 1: Now later on, Randy was a football genius. But Jamar,

391
00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:20,000
Speaker 1: that's the best rookie season I've seen, and I was

392
00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:22,920
Speaker 1: there for Justin Jefferson last year. It's the best rookie

393
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:27,560
Speaker 1: wide receiver totally route running, finishing plays, playing around the

394
00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:32,760
Speaker 1: offense that I've ever seen. He was there for Justin Jefferson.

395
00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:34,919
Speaker 1: He played with Randy Molse who saw that one to

396
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:39,600
Speaker 1: a bold statement from Chris Carter yesterday, but not completely unfounded. Chris,

397
00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:42,160
Speaker 1: I'm sure you heard for a minute from Twitter this one.

398
00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:45,080
Speaker 1: You're smiling over there, Please explain you're thinking the floor

399
00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:49,640
Speaker 1: is yours. Well, this is the thing you did hear

400
00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:54,560
Speaker 1: me yesterday, and it's a lot to high school coaches

401
00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:58,199
Speaker 1: and college coaches. The wide receivers coming into the National

402
00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:03,199
Speaker 1: Football League, they're better than ever and j mar and

403
00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:06,960
Speaker 1: Justin Jefferson are a credit to that. Now, I said

404
00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:08,720
Speaker 1: that he was the best rookie receiver that I've seen,

405
00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:10,280
Speaker 1: and I'm so high on him. But I want to

406
00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:12,040
Speaker 1: take a look at some of the numbers. Last night,

407
00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:15,240
Speaker 1: I went over every catch both of these guys have

408
00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:17,960
Speaker 1: made in the rookie season. So look at the top

409
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:22,200
Speaker 1: of it, it's fairly simple. Thirteen fourteen, seventeen touchdowns thirteen

410
00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:28,520
Speaker 1: very very similar. But Randy had more help, all right,

411
00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:30,640
Speaker 1: if you look at it. We had three Pro Bowl

412
00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:35,120
Speaker 1: offensive linemen. We could run the ball at will against anyone,

413
00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:39,480
Speaker 1: led by Hall of Famer Randall McDaniel, myself, the quarterback

414
00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:42,119
Speaker 1: Randall Cunningham, who was All Pro that year, So we

415
00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:45,920
Speaker 1: didn't need Randy to be great that often. And in

416
00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:48,120
Speaker 1: going back looking at the taste, one of the things

417
00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:50,919
Speaker 1: that I saw too was I had forgotten Randy had

418
00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:54,199
Speaker 1: injured his ankle playing basketball before the season. He had

419
00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:56,840
Speaker 1: a high ankle spring the whole season, so could have

420
00:20:56,920 --> 00:20:59,679
Speaker 1: Randy Moss could have had potentially twenty touchdowns as a

421
00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:02,720
Speaker 1: rook Yes, he could have, but he was injured and

422
00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:05,360
Speaker 1: you could see in the tape that he was laboring. Now,

423
00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:08,760
Speaker 1: let's take a look at some of the things besides

424
00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:13,080
Speaker 1: the numbers that make receivers great, okay, being speed catching ability.

425
00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:16,920
Speaker 1: Let's take a look at mass overall explosion. All right,

426
00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:20,480
Speaker 1: Randy Moss as a rookie. This is a legendary Thanksgiving game.

427
00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:23,600
Speaker 1: Randall Cunningham. We have a corner route by myself. He

428
00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:25,880
Speaker 1: has the stop on the outside. They try to blitz us.

429
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:28,120
Speaker 1: We go hot to Mass. He makes the first guy

430
00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:30,639
Speaker 1: miss and then I had never seen anyone do this

431
00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:33,520
Speaker 1: in the NFL game. He face froze this guy he

432
00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:35,800
Speaker 1: was running next to him, looked at him. Now you

433
00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:37,920
Speaker 1: can watch myself. I'm getting ready get open on the corner.

434
00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:40,880
Speaker 1: They're blitzing us. So Cunningham didn't have time. I take

435
00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:45,560
Speaker 1: a shot at this corner's knee right here, looked at

436
00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:48,159
Speaker 1: and then explode it down the sideline. This is some

437
00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:50,480
Speaker 1: of the rare stuff that we had ever seen. I

438
00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:53,040
Speaker 1: listened to footies last night, John Madden and Pat smer

439
00:21:53,080 --> 00:21:56,160
Speaker 1: All commentating on it. John Madden's like, this kid's gonna

440
00:21:56,160 --> 00:21:59,440
Speaker 1: be fun to watch. He's amazing and he was electric

441
00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:02,440
Speaker 1: on the feed. Having myself in the slot, you see

442
00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:06,520
Speaker 1: Randy had single coverage on the outside. Let's go to

443
00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:09,600
Speaker 1: j Mark. Let's see him early in his rookie season.

444
00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:12,160
Speaker 1: Let's see what type of play that we can break

445
00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:16,560
Speaker 1: down for him. We like this against Baltimore short route.

446
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:19,560
Speaker 1: It's hard to tell how fast the player is until

447
00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:22,880
Speaker 1: the player stops and then gets back going. We knew

448
00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:25,520
Speaker 1: he was fast, but in this play against Baltimore, week

449
00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:29,400
Speaker 1: number seven, eighty two yard touchdown, you could see the stopping,

450
00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:32,600
Speaker 1: the toughness in traffic, and then the ability to be

451
00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:36,400
Speaker 1: able to explode. It's hard. I don't care who you are.

452
00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:39,480
Speaker 1: If you're not explosive or you don't have short area quickness,

453
00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:41,919
Speaker 1: it's hard to be great at the wide receiver position.

454
00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:45,639
Speaker 1: And both of these young receivers had both of them. Now,

455
00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:50,479
Speaker 1: let's take a look at some speed, all right, explosion speed.

456
00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:56,240
Speaker 1: Let's take a look at Randy Moss. Okay, speed hand combination.

457
00:22:56,359 --> 00:22:58,400
Speaker 1: Randy Moss is a Green Bay game on Monday Night,

458
00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:02,800
Speaker 1: another legendary game. Randy blows past the defender, but he

459
00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:06,120
Speaker 1: was so fast he comes back under Tyrone whims. Yeah,

460
00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:08,359
Speaker 1: I said it, Tyrone. I still don't like that, dude, right,

461
00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:10,840
Speaker 1: I still don't like it. Number thirty seven, he had

462
00:23:10,840 --> 00:23:12,520
Speaker 1: a little gold grill. I told him during the game,

463
00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:15,520
Speaker 1: I'm gonna snatch your gold grill outs your mouth. Yeah, Moss,

464
00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:19,440
Speaker 1: the underthrow comes back over top of with his blazing speed,

465
00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:22,840
Speaker 1: but he shows great hands. Typically the fastest guys we've

466
00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:26,000
Speaker 1: ever seen, the hands part doesn't come with the blazing speed.

467
00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:30,440
Speaker 1: Moss had that in Spade. Let's go to Jamarn. Let's

468
00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:33,160
Speaker 1: get another look at it. Cunningham on the strongest arms

469
00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:38,119
Speaker 1: ever under throws the big fella. Moss comes up with it.

470
00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:42,760
Speaker 1: Let's go Jmar Last week, he gets outside outside release,

471
00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:45,320
Speaker 1: he stacks the cornerback, gets the corner right next to him.

472
00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:47,640
Speaker 1: He doesn't know if Joe Burrows is going to lead

473
00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:49,960
Speaker 1: him to the back pylon or he's gonna throw a

474
00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:53,159
Speaker 1: back shoulder fade. We know how fast he is, but

475
00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:55,560
Speaker 1: the adjustment for a fast guy to be able to

476
00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:58,360
Speaker 1: get backwards, that's the hardest catch. For him to make

477
00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:02,199
Speaker 1: Besides over the shoulder, is stopping that explosion and catching

478
00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:06,119
Speaker 1: the ball back. That's what most of the speed receivers

479
00:24:06,119 --> 00:24:09,199
Speaker 1: don't have. They speed guys don't have hands. So what

480
00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:12,800
Speaker 1: is the third ingredient that comes with this route? Running?

481
00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:16,080
Speaker 1: The build savvyess? Why do we talk about Cooper Cup

482
00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:20,080
Speaker 1: being so special because he runs so many great routes.

483
00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:22,520
Speaker 1: Both of these guys, you can see this early in

484
00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:25,439
Speaker 1: their career, their ability to build a run route. This

485
00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:29,000
Speaker 1: is Randy Moss's first game. This is Scatwright double pump.

486
00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:32,200
Speaker 1: We're gonna throw it back to mass. Moss runs a

487
00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:36,640
Speaker 1: stutter goal for Brad Johnson on top of Tony Dungee's

488
00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:39,600
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay Cover two. They weren't used to do. Watch

489
00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:43,280
Speaker 1: this subtle. Oh you see that little subtle stop right there. Now,

490
00:24:43,320 --> 00:24:47,760
Speaker 1: This guy's sixty four, about two hundred pounds at the time. Look, look,

491
00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:51,000
Speaker 1: he's the best athletes has ever played wide receiver. This

492
00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:53,600
Speaker 1: been guy's been fast than guy's been tall, But none

493
00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:55,800
Speaker 1: of them to have that triple threat of the speed,

494
00:24:55,920 --> 00:24:59,960
Speaker 1: explosion hands that Randy Moss up. Now watch Jay Mark

495
00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:03,600
Speaker 1: this against Patrick Peterson. He goes up on him. Typically

496
00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:05,600
Speaker 1: if you're gonna make a right turn and go inside,

497
00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:08,280
Speaker 1: you step and go inside. He gives him a double

498
00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:12,560
Speaker 1: take that with you, he double clutched them. That's a

499
00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:16,160
Speaker 1: Pro Football Hall of Famer Patrick Peterson in his first

500
00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:20,639
Speaker 1: game in pro football on Twitter, I said, Jay Mars

501
00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:25,720
Speaker 1: out there taking souls. So very very impressed in those

502
00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:29,520
Speaker 1: three phases of the game. Both of these guys excelled

503
00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:32,280
Speaker 1: in it. I did give you the caveat that Moss

504
00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:36,359
Speaker 1: did have a tweaked ankle, a high ankle sprain that

505
00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:39,480
Speaker 1: he reinjured several times during the season. But it's a

506
00:25:39,560 --> 00:25:44,120
Speaker 1: credit to college football, college coaches, high school. These kids

507
00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:48,240
Speaker 1: are more prepared to take on the game of pro

508
00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:52,440
Speaker 1: football and make an immediate impact. So that's why, by

509
00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:56,400
Speaker 1: the slimmest of margins j mar Chase, I believe not

510
00:25:56,440 --> 00:26:01,080
Speaker 1: only Randy Moss, Jerry Rice, any other Hall family at

511
00:26:01,119 --> 00:26:04,600
Speaker 1: this point he had a better rookie season. And the

512
00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:09,400
Speaker 1: supporting cast behind Moss six six Pro bowlers on that team,

513
00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:12,800
Speaker 1: a couple Hall of famers. It's a pretty good supporting cast.

514
00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:17,040
Speaker 1: My my, my host here, what are you guys to me?

515
00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:20,000
Speaker 1: I love it. I grew up in the Moss era

516
00:26:20,040 --> 00:26:23,280
Speaker 1: where everything Randy did was idolized by fans at home

517
00:26:23,359 --> 00:26:26,800
Speaker 1: and by wide receivers and even the Moss that the

518
00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:29,640
Speaker 1: potential for Jamar Chase. He's only twenty one years old.

519
00:26:29,680 --> 00:26:33,520
Speaker 1: He was born March ninth, two thousand. What is the

520
00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:35,959
Speaker 1: sky for this guy? What's the ceiling? Where can he go?

521
00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:37,879
Speaker 1: He can go as high as he can go. He

522
00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:41,760
Speaker 1: can continue, Kenny, Will he continue to reinvent himself the

523
00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:44,960
Speaker 1: way Randy did? Will he stay focused? Can him and

524
00:26:45,040 --> 00:26:49,000
Speaker 1: Joe Burrows put together eight to ten years together? Can

525
00:26:49,080 --> 00:26:52,320
Speaker 1: he stay hungry? Which he has shown all those things.

526
00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:54,760
Speaker 1: That's how you're able to be one of the best

527
00:26:54,760 --> 00:26:56,880
Speaker 1: of the best. You have to give Randy credit because

528
00:26:56,880 --> 00:27:00,240
Speaker 1: he finished it out first ballot Hall of Famer. The

529
00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:03,640
Speaker 1: book on Jamar is just the first chapter. Moss's book

530
00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:06,720
Speaker 1: is closed. I also respect that Jason has done it

531
00:27:06,720 --> 00:27:08,960
Speaker 1: in the elements. He's played one game in a Domas rook.

532
00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:12,360
Speaker 1: He plays in Ohio. Great point matters, Chris, you mentioned,

533
00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:15,159
Speaker 1: you know back in August, everyone's saying Jamar Chason has

534
00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:16,760
Speaker 1: the drops. This guy might be a head case. I

535
00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:18,280
Speaker 1: don't know if he has it. There was doubt about

536
00:27:18,359 --> 00:27:20,080
Speaker 1: him for a hot minute. Do you remember when Moss

537
00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:22,280
Speaker 1: came in, was wherever any doubt in your mind about

538
00:27:22,359 --> 00:27:24,480
Speaker 1: him as a player, what he could do. The only

539
00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:28,439
Speaker 1: doubt that I ever had was the natural doubt that

540
00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:30,560
Speaker 1: you would have from the time Dennis Green called me

541
00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:32,960
Speaker 1: when we selected him till the first time I saw

542
00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:35,359
Speaker 1: him in both of her tone several days later, and

543
00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:37,720
Speaker 1: then after that there was no doubt. I called Coach

544
00:27:37,760 --> 00:27:40,679
Speaker 1: Green and Brian Billikin said, hey, man, I don't know

545
00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:45,240
Speaker 1: if you guys ever saw secretariat, but we have them.

546
00:27:47,080 --> 00:27:49,800
Speaker 1: Were threatened all when he gets drafted? No, I wasn't

547
00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:51,400
Speaker 1: threatened at all. I called a general manner to say,

548
00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:53,200
Speaker 1: I need four more years guaranteed, or I ain't coming

549
00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:57,120
Speaker 1: to Minnesota. I knew it's the NFL. One day, bigger, stronger,

550
00:27:57,119 --> 00:27:59,040
Speaker 1: faster is coming to your town, and then it come

551
00:27:59,119 --> 00:28:04,399
Speaker 1: to Minnesota. Hey, what do I make of the chemistry

552
00:28:04,480 --> 00:28:07,560
Speaker 1: he has with Burrow going into this How much does

553
00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:10,480
Speaker 1: that account for the dominance he's had this year because

554
00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:13,600
Speaker 1: Randy didn't have it. So not detracting from your argument,

555
00:28:13,640 --> 00:28:16,159
Speaker 1: but you have to consider it. Right, Jamar Chase is

556
00:28:16,280 --> 00:28:20,600
Speaker 1: putting up numbers everywhere. Is he shattering records anywhere else. Well,

557
00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:23,000
Speaker 1: you have to have good fortune on your side. And

558
00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:25,480
Speaker 1: the time that he was able to spend with Joe

559
00:28:25,520 --> 00:28:28,920
Speaker 1: Burrows there in college. It's paying dividends in his first year.

560
00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:31,800
Speaker 1: But also let's remember the good fortune Randy Moss had,

561
00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:35,080
Speaker 1: not only coming to Minnesota because he wasn't the top pick,

562
00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:37,600
Speaker 1: you know, he had slipped in the draft. But Brad

563
00:28:37,680 --> 00:28:40,600
Speaker 1: Johnson got hurt earlier in the year. If Brad Johnson

564
00:28:40,640 --> 00:28:43,520
Speaker 1: stays as our starting quarterback, we can't throw the ball

565
00:28:43,560 --> 00:28:46,000
Speaker 1: away down the field. Why because Brad can't do that. Okay,

566
00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:49,480
Speaker 1: Randall Cunningham was inserted and then the deep ball was

567
00:28:50,320 --> 00:28:53,000
Speaker 1: opened and we could do anything with mass So both

568
00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:56,080
Speaker 1: of them had had luck. On you think Jamar's putting

569
00:28:56,120 --> 00:28:58,160
Speaker 1: up his kind of numbers and on another team without

570
00:28:58,160 --> 00:29:01,960
Speaker 1: a different quarterback, Yes, he's special, special special anywhere, that

571
00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:06,640
Speaker 1: being Cincinnati l A, Green Bay, Tampa Bay, Jacksonville special

572
00:29:06,640 --> 00:29:10,400
Speaker 1: special if you see it. By it. We are joined

573
00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:13,600
Speaker 1: now by an absolute legend by a couple of majors.

574
00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:17,760
Speaker 1: Three time Pro Bowl wide receiver from my hometown team

575
00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:20,840
Speaker 1: to Cincinnati Bengals and now does a little bit of

576
00:29:20,920 --> 00:29:24,840
Speaker 1: TV for NBC Sunday Night Football, the owner and chairman.

577
00:29:24,880 --> 00:29:28,160
Speaker 1: Probably the biggest accomplishment that he had is Pro Football Focus.

578
00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:33,360
Speaker 1: My guy, my namesake, Chris c R I S. Colins

579
00:29:34,120 --> 00:29:39,960
Speaker 1: it's the real CC. What what? I can't believe this.

580
00:29:40,120 --> 00:29:41,959
Speaker 1: First of all, you've got nothing but old people on

581
00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:47,920
Speaker 1: the show today. Your ratings go here. I'm honored to

582
00:29:48,040 --> 00:29:51,400
Speaker 1: be on the show with my guy because Chris, honestly,

583
00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:54,800
Speaker 1: you gotta tell a story because people do not believe.

584
00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:58,200
Speaker 1: They think I'm making it up. They seriously, they think

585
00:29:58,240 --> 00:30:02,360
Speaker 1: I am making this up. It goes like this ninth

586
00:30:02,440 --> 00:30:04,920
Speaker 1: grade Chris collins Worth. I think that was the year

587
00:30:04,920 --> 00:30:07,520
Speaker 1: you got drafted by the Bengals in second round out

588
00:30:07,560 --> 00:30:11,760
Speaker 1: of Florida. Three time. I think all SEC, academic, All

589
00:30:11,800 --> 00:30:16,000
Speaker 1: American there at Florida. You had like fourteen letters in

590
00:30:16,080 --> 00:30:19,240
Speaker 1: high school basketball, baseball, track and field. The guy was

591
00:30:19,520 --> 00:30:21,960
Speaker 1: But they showed this highlight when they drafted them and

592
00:30:21,960 --> 00:30:24,800
Speaker 1: it was the state hundred meters in Florida one hundred

593
00:30:24,800 --> 00:30:28,320
Speaker 1: meters and Chris collins Worth won that race. And then

594
00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:31,080
Speaker 1: he got the number when he came to Cincinnati, and

595
00:30:31,120 --> 00:30:33,880
Speaker 1: I liked the number and I was like, that's my guy.

596
00:30:34,160 --> 00:30:37,240
Speaker 1: And from that time on in school and athletics, I

597
00:30:37,360 --> 00:30:39,760
Speaker 1: changed the spelling of my name. My mom still to

598
00:30:39,840 --> 00:30:43,280
Speaker 1: this day is very very upset. I started practicing my

599
00:30:43,320 --> 00:30:47,000
Speaker 1: autograph and it was c R S. And then even

600
00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:50,240
Speaker 1: once I got into the NFL, we used to have

601
00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:54,040
Speaker 1: these alias names on the road. Fans and stuff wouldn't

602
00:30:54,040 --> 00:30:59,040
Speaker 1: harass USA. I was always Chris collins Worth. They used

603
00:30:59,040 --> 00:31:02,400
Speaker 1: to be like, why you put I didn't know about.

604
00:31:02,800 --> 00:31:04,720
Speaker 1: I used to get all kinds of bills. I didn't

605
00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:06,960
Speaker 1: know where they came from. That's like the Pro Bowl man,

606
00:31:07,040 --> 00:31:13,280
Speaker 1: you're doing me dirty ye out there, wide receiver. Let

607
00:31:13,360 --> 00:31:16,400
Speaker 1: me let me just say, first of all, it's unbelievable

608
00:31:16,880 --> 00:31:19,760
Speaker 1: that I have finally made it to the Hall of Fame.

609
00:31:20,160 --> 00:31:22,400
Speaker 1: That's the way I look at it. People ask me

610
00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:24,520
Speaker 1: all the time, like, you know, because they think because

611
00:31:24,560 --> 00:31:26,240
Speaker 1: I'm on TV that I'm in the Hall of Fame,

612
00:31:26,640 --> 00:31:28,560
Speaker 1: and so I would always just say, no, no, I'm

613
00:31:28,560 --> 00:31:29,920
Speaker 1: not in the Hall of Fame. But ever since you

614
00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:31,600
Speaker 1: made the Hall of Fame, now when they bring it up,

615
00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:33,440
Speaker 1: I go, yeah, my name's in the Hall of Fame.

616
00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:37,080
Speaker 1: That's it. That's my story, and that's it. Right there.

617
00:31:37,320 --> 00:31:39,640
Speaker 1: When I opened the door. I let it in. Let's

618
00:31:39,640 --> 00:31:41,720
Speaker 1: talk about Hall of Fame and you talk about they

619
00:31:41,800 --> 00:31:43,960
Speaker 1: have a wide receiver in Cincinnati, Chris, and I know

620
00:31:44,040 --> 00:31:47,280
Speaker 1: you love the position. Can you give me a little

621
00:31:47,280 --> 00:31:49,920
Speaker 1: bit about Jay mar Chase because I know you've been

622
00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:52,920
Speaker 1: watching him all season. I did a breakdown of him

623
00:31:53,040 --> 00:31:55,240
Speaker 1: versus Randy Moss in their rookie year. And I know

624
00:31:55,280 --> 00:31:58,320
Speaker 1: a lot of people are gonna get upset, but he's

625
00:31:58,360 --> 00:32:01,320
Speaker 1: the best rookie wide receiver that I have seen come

626
00:32:01,320 --> 00:32:04,720
Speaker 1: into the NFL. What's your thoughts on that? And do

627
00:32:04,760 --> 00:32:06,520
Speaker 1: you think that's good enough to be the Rookie of

628
00:32:06,520 --> 00:32:12,200
Speaker 1: the Year. Yes, absolutely, yes. And first of all, it's

629
00:32:12,240 --> 00:32:15,280
Speaker 1: the moments that this guy has had. You know, when

630
00:32:15,280 --> 00:32:18,000
Speaker 1: he played in that game in Baltimore, of course, that

631
00:32:18,120 --> 00:32:20,640
Speaker 1: was the big first step for this team this season.

632
00:32:21,240 --> 00:32:24,000
Speaker 1: He literally took over and he was playing against Marlin

633
00:32:24,080 --> 00:32:26,000
Speaker 1: Humphrey for the most part. You know how good Marlin

634
00:32:26,080 --> 00:32:29,160
Speaker 1: as he's an unbelievable player. He made a catch and

635
00:32:29,280 --> 00:32:31,840
Speaker 1: run on a little slant and broke two or three

636
00:32:31,880 --> 00:32:34,640
Speaker 1: tackles and spun backwards out of there and ran the

637
00:32:34,680 --> 00:32:37,400
Speaker 1: distance for the touchdown. And I said at the time,

638
00:32:37,440 --> 00:32:39,320
Speaker 1: I said this is one of the best games I've

639
00:32:39,360 --> 00:32:42,120
Speaker 1: ever seen a guy have, certainly in a Cincinnati uniform.

640
00:32:42,400 --> 00:32:44,880
Speaker 1: He was just phenomenal. That was until we got to

641
00:32:44,920 --> 00:32:48,360
Speaker 1: the Kansas City game. The Kansas City game, it was over.

642
00:32:48,480 --> 00:32:51,480
Speaker 1: It was fourteen to nothing, and you just knew it

643
00:32:51,520 --> 00:32:53,560
Speaker 1: was going to be Kansas City just another one of

644
00:32:53,560 --> 00:32:56,320
Speaker 1: those kind of walks into park and the Cincinnati Bengals

645
00:32:56,320 --> 00:32:59,120
Speaker 1: aren't ready and all those sort of things. You could

646
00:32:59,120 --> 00:33:02,640
Speaker 1: write the headline already from what we were watching. And

647
00:33:02,680 --> 00:33:06,520
Speaker 1: then Joe Burrow and Jamar Chase did some things that

648
00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:11,600
Speaker 1: just literally blew my mind. I mean, Jamar took over

649
00:33:11,800 --> 00:33:14,160
Speaker 1: the football game. That catch and run he made to

650
00:33:14,200 --> 00:33:17,400
Speaker 1: make it fourteen seven, and everybody who had ever worn

651
00:33:17,440 --> 00:33:20,080
Speaker 1: a Cincinnati uniform kind of set up a little straighter.

652
00:33:20,120 --> 00:33:22,360
Speaker 1: You know, we're thinking, all right, well, this is least

653
00:33:22,400 --> 00:33:24,960
Speaker 1: going to be competitive here, and it's only a seven

654
00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:27,560
Speaker 1: point game, and who knows what can happen. And then

655
00:33:27,600 --> 00:33:30,000
Speaker 1: he just kept making plays, and he kept making plays,

656
00:33:30,040 --> 00:33:31,880
Speaker 1: and then he kept making plays, and he made that

657
00:33:31,880 --> 00:33:34,280
Speaker 1: third and twenty seven at the end of the game

658
00:33:34,680 --> 00:33:36,360
Speaker 1: to kind of give him a chance to just go

659
00:33:36,400 --> 00:33:39,720
Speaker 1: ahead and lock it up. It has been phenomenal to

660
00:33:39,840 --> 00:33:42,280
Speaker 1: watch him playing. I know there's some good rookies out

661
00:33:42,280 --> 00:33:45,240
Speaker 1: there playing in the league this year, but what Joe

662
00:33:45,320 --> 00:33:48,680
Speaker 1: Burrow is doing right now and Jamar Chase is doing

663
00:33:49,200 --> 00:33:51,960
Speaker 1: is off the charts. And when you look at who

664
00:33:52,040 --> 00:33:54,960
Speaker 1: could beat the Kansas City Chiefs in the playoffs, it

665
00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:59,200
Speaker 1: takes somebody that can score with those guys. And right

666
00:33:59,240 --> 00:34:01,720
Speaker 1: now the Cincinnat DDE Bengals can score with them, and

667
00:34:01,760 --> 00:34:04,280
Speaker 1: they're really fun to watch, really fun of course, and

668
00:34:04,320 --> 00:34:07,120
Speaker 1: it all got started when Kay went to Cincinnati be

669
00:34:07,240 --> 00:34:12,240
Speaker 1: the queen of Cincinnati. Were there you go? Your son

670
00:34:12,280 --> 00:34:15,839
Speaker 1: gave me the greater's recommendation, Jack Collinsworth saying that ice

671
00:34:15,880 --> 00:34:17,920
Speaker 1: cream was the word, the place to go, and I

672
00:34:17,960 --> 00:34:20,880
Speaker 1: had the best time, And I appreciate you incorporating that

673
00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:24,719
Speaker 1: in your PF numbers. They're the k factor in going

674
00:34:24,760 --> 00:34:27,920
Speaker 1: to Now we got to get you to the playoffs.

675
00:34:27,960 --> 00:34:31,719
Speaker 1: So I love you so much, Chris collins Worth. I

676
00:34:31,719 --> 00:34:33,319
Speaker 1: can say no more that you just did it all

677
00:34:33,360 --> 00:34:36,400
Speaker 1: for me there. Jamar Chase. Obviously, Joe Burrow, the chemistry

678
00:34:36,480 --> 00:34:39,080
Speaker 1: is on point. Go a little deeper into weird thoughts

679
00:34:39,080 --> 00:34:41,440
Speaker 1: on Burrow. You've seen so many quarterbacks so many seasons,

680
00:34:41,440 --> 00:34:43,640
Speaker 1: why is this one so special? And what's his ceiling,

681
00:34:43,719 --> 00:34:47,120
Speaker 1: especially going into his first postseason action with so little experience.

682
00:34:47,920 --> 00:34:51,440
Speaker 1: No ceiling, no ceiling, because we saw it happen at LSU,

683
00:34:51,600 --> 00:34:54,080
Speaker 1: where he had the highest grade that PFF has ever

684
00:34:54,160 --> 00:34:57,360
Speaker 1: had coming out of college. So we saw it there.

685
00:34:57,680 --> 00:35:00,279
Speaker 1: We saw him in his rookie year come back and

686
00:35:00,640 --> 00:35:02,920
Speaker 1: was tearing it up. You know, he was made some

687
00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:05,279
Speaker 1: rookie mistakes, but was tearing it up and then tore

688
00:35:05,360 --> 00:35:07,759
Speaker 1: up his knee and came back. And I remember the

689
00:35:07,800 --> 00:35:10,560
Speaker 1: whole conversation, nobody thought he was ever going to even

690
00:35:10,600 --> 00:35:13,200
Speaker 1: make it back for this season. Well, okay, he'll sit out,

691
00:35:13,480 --> 00:35:15,879
Speaker 1: or he'll be some shell of himself, Like we've seen

692
00:35:15,920 --> 00:35:18,280
Speaker 1: all kinds of quarterbacks when they've got a bad knee

693
00:35:18,320 --> 00:35:20,520
Speaker 1: after their first year. And what did he do? From

694
00:35:20,560 --> 00:35:23,440
Speaker 1: opening day? You couldn't tell. You couldn't tell that there

695
00:35:23,520 --> 00:35:26,120
Speaker 1: was any kind of issue with this young man. And

696
00:35:26,200 --> 00:35:28,960
Speaker 1: he has something about him. I've had him on shows,

697
00:35:28,960 --> 00:35:32,280
Speaker 1: I've had conversations with him, but from the very first

698
00:35:32,360 --> 00:35:35,560
Speaker 1: moment I saw him interviewed, there is something about that

699
00:35:35,719 --> 00:35:38,600
Speaker 1: cigar smoking son of a gun that just turns you

700
00:35:38,719 --> 00:35:42,239
Speaker 1: on if you are a fan of the Cincinnati Bengals. Right,

701
00:35:42,280 --> 00:35:44,440
Speaker 1: we saw it at LSU. He goes out and he

702
00:35:44,440 --> 00:35:48,160
Speaker 1: wins the championships, he's in the locker room smoking a cigar,

703
00:35:48,280 --> 00:35:51,759
Speaker 1: comes back when's the division for Cincinnati. And that is

704
00:35:51,800 --> 00:35:56,040
Speaker 1: a paradigm shift, you know, when you're talking about playing

705
00:35:56,120 --> 00:35:59,319
Speaker 1: for the Bengals and it always comes down to the

706
00:35:59,440 --> 00:36:01,920
Speaker 1: end and then the Pittsburgh Steelers knock them off, or

707
00:36:01,960 --> 00:36:04,719
Speaker 1: the Baltimore Ravens knock them off. They went too and

708
00:36:04,800 --> 00:36:08,359
Speaker 1: oh against both of those teams this year and went

709
00:36:08,400 --> 00:36:10,920
Speaker 1: into their places and knocked him off and knocked him

710
00:36:10,960 --> 00:36:14,600
Speaker 1: off big. So I think that you're talking about a

711
00:36:14,719 --> 00:36:19,480
Speaker 1: dynamic leader who has this confidence, who has this borderline

712
00:36:19,560 --> 00:36:22,800
Speaker 1: cockiness that we haven't seen around here since Boomerassias in

713
00:36:22,880 --> 00:36:25,799
Speaker 1: playing the quarterback position. I think he's special and I

714
00:36:25,800 --> 00:36:29,439
Speaker 1: think they're only going to get better. It's awesome, Chris.

715
00:36:29,480 --> 00:36:30,880
Speaker 1: We love having you on the show and we love

716
00:36:30,920 --> 00:36:33,319
Speaker 1: watching you on Sunday nights. You're gonna be working game

717
00:36:33,400 --> 00:36:36,440
Speaker 1: two hundred and seventy two of the twenty twenty one

718
00:36:36,800 --> 00:36:39,720
Speaker 1: regular season, and now it's in mid January of twenty

719
00:36:39,760 --> 00:36:42,880
Speaker 1: twenty two. Is the finale Chargers Raiders, And we've had

720
00:36:42,920 --> 00:36:45,640
Speaker 1: a lot of fun on this show with a doomsday scenario.

721
00:36:45,719 --> 00:36:48,720
Speaker 1: And I'm sure you know it. If the Jags upset

722
00:36:48,800 --> 00:36:53,000
Speaker 1: the Colts, a tie would get both the Chargers and

723
00:36:53,040 --> 00:36:54,840
Speaker 1: the Raiders into the playoffs. And you know, I'm a

724
00:36:54,880 --> 00:36:57,839
Speaker 1: glutton for punishment, and I think we are satis here

725
00:36:57,840 --> 00:37:00,360
Speaker 1: at points where it comes to just seeing something different

726
00:37:00,360 --> 00:37:03,760
Speaker 1: in football. Having called two blowouts the past two weeks,

727
00:37:04,160 --> 00:37:06,839
Speaker 1: what is the broadcast going to be like when we

728
00:37:06,880 --> 00:37:09,319
Speaker 1: see Derek Carr and Justin Herbert just taking knees for

729
00:37:09,360 --> 00:37:13,440
Speaker 1: sixty minutes. Yeah, I heard Kyle working it over the

730
00:37:13,480 --> 00:37:16,400
Speaker 1: other day. I was cracking off watching it because you know,

731
00:37:16,520 --> 00:37:20,320
Speaker 1: you're thinking the same thing. So all right, let's break

732
00:37:20,360 --> 00:37:24,120
Speaker 1: this down, right, There's no way that they're gonna come

733
00:37:24,120 --> 00:37:26,239
Speaker 1: out and take a knee. You know, I heard all

734
00:37:26,280 --> 00:37:28,239
Speaker 1: the you know, all that sort of thing, So that's

735
00:37:28,239 --> 00:37:30,920
Speaker 1: not happening. Let's take that one off the board. But

736
00:37:31,400 --> 00:37:33,600
Speaker 1: let's say we're at the end of the game and

737
00:37:33,760 --> 00:37:36,800
Speaker 1: this thing is in overtime and all the doomsday stuff

738
00:37:36,840 --> 00:37:39,840
Speaker 1: has actually happened, and now we're down to about the

739
00:37:39,960 --> 00:37:44,160
Speaker 1: last two minutes of overtime. And you kind of get

740
00:37:44,200 --> 00:37:46,920
Speaker 1: one coach looking across the field at the other coach

741
00:37:47,120 --> 00:37:50,560
Speaker 1: and look, I know you've got a couple of time outs,

742
00:37:50,560 --> 00:37:53,719
Speaker 1: but if I take the first knee and we can

743
00:37:53,960 --> 00:37:57,000
Speaker 1: get all the way through this thing, and you're not

744
00:37:57,040 --> 00:38:01,200
Speaker 1: going to use those timeouts. Now you know these arrivals too,

745
00:38:01,360 --> 00:38:04,080
Speaker 1: so you know who knows about the dirty pool and

746
00:38:04,160 --> 00:38:07,919
Speaker 1: what could actually happen here. But at some point, even

747
00:38:07,960 --> 00:38:11,560
Speaker 1: if it's with fifteen seconds to go in overtime, you

748
00:38:11,600 --> 00:38:14,640
Speaker 1: would have to consider it, not for the other team,

749
00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:17,919
Speaker 1: but for the fact who cares. It is your right.

750
00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:21,640
Speaker 1: We have heard that story done before that it is

751
00:38:21,800 --> 00:38:24,719
Speaker 1: your right at the end of the season to not

752
00:38:24,920 --> 00:38:28,440
Speaker 1: play anybody in week whatever it would be eighteen now,

753
00:38:28,960 --> 00:38:31,239
Speaker 1: because if you don't want to play anybody, even if

754
00:38:31,280 --> 00:38:33,400
Speaker 1: it impacts the playoffs for the other team or the

755
00:38:33,400 --> 00:38:36,000
Speaker 1: other teams in your division, it doesn't matter. You have

756
00:38:36,160 --> 00:38:39,160
Speaker 1: the right to do what is in your best interest

757
00:38:39,520 --> 00:38:42,239
Speaker 1: to make the playoffs. And if it is in your

758
00:38:42,320 --> 00:38:45,640
Speaker 1: best interest to take a knee at the end of overtime,

759
00:38:46,000 --> 00:38:48,960
Speaker 1: I think we're going to see that happen. Why would

760
00:38:48,960 --> 00:38:52,000
Speaker 1: you not Your job is very simple as a head coach,

761
00:38:52,080 --> 00:38:55,799
Speaker 1: Your job is to get your team into the playoffs.

762
00:38:56,280 --> 00:38:59,680
Speaker 1: And you know how my boy Al Michaels is now

763
00:39:00,080 --> 00:39:06,400
Speaker 1: love some conspiracy there, you know. You know, my guys

764
00:39:06,440 --> 00:39:09,360
Speaker 1: gonna have some stuff on this now. And where's the

765
00:39:09,400 --> 00:39:12,439
Speaker 1: game being played? Just to make it all the much worse. Right,

766
00:39:12,680 --> 00:39:16,280
Speaker 1: We're in Las Vegas, going right down the road, Derek,

767
00:39:16,280 --> 00:39:19,000
Speaker 1: you know, so this is gonna be fun. I'm just

768
00:39:19,040 --> 00:39:21,799
Speaker 1: telling I don't know what al Al and Kyle have

769
00:39:21,880 --> 00:39:24,080
Speaker 1: a lot in common. I'll just say that you guys

770
00:39:24,080 --> 00:39:27,759
Speaker 1: have a lot of I'll tell you what I got

771
00:39:27,800 --> 00:39:31,040
Speaker 1: in common. Right now, Go Jags. Let's go big Jaguars

772
00:39:31,080 --> 00:39:33,640
Speaker 1: game this weekend. Chris that my eyes are on that game,

773
00:39:33,680 --> 00:39:36,319
Speaker 1: and so are the Nations. But Chris, I remember back

774
00:39:36,320 --> 00:39:37,759
Speaker 1: in the day, I think it was you were on

775
00:39:37,760 --> 00:39:40,800
Speaker 1: inside the NFL and used to do this segment called

776
00:39:41,160 --> 00:39:44,719
Speaker 1: Chris Collinsworth on a soapbox, and they would actually bring

777
00:39:44,760 --> 00:39:47,799
Speaker 1: out a physical soapbox that you would stand on and

778
00:39:47,880 --> 00:39:50,239
Speaker 1: just rant on something. It was awesome. I loved it.

779
00:39:50,480 --> 00:39:54,000
Speaker 1: I wonder if you would get into that mode here. Yesterday,

780
00:39:54,440 --> 00:39:57,759
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers called an MVP voter a bum and an

781
00:39:57,760 --> 00:40:00,680
Speaker 1: absolute bum for saying that he wouldn't vote for Rogers

782
00:40:00,719 --> 00:40:03,080
Speaker 1: because the way he carried himself with his vaccination status,

783
00:40:03,120 --> 00:40:05,719
Speaker 1: among other things. Chris, what was your reaction to that

784
00:40:05,880 --> 00:40:10,160
Speaker 1: entire story in the back and forth with Rogers? Oh, baby,

785
00:40:10,200 --> 00:40:12,520
Speaker 1: you are trying to get me back into headlines where

786
00:40:12,520 --> 00:40:18,839
Speaker 1: I'm trying to avoid now. But you know, I get it.

787
00:40:18,880 --> 00:40:23,920
Speaker 1: This is this is it's this topic just ends friendships,

788
00:40:24,040 --> 00:40:26,719
Speaker 1: right it does. I mean, you you can get into

789
00:40:26,760 --> 00:40:29,719
Speaker 1: this and I'm not gonna express my opinion. I went

790
00:40:29,760 --> 00:40:32,000
Speaker 1: pretty far down the road there one time on a

791
00:40:32,040 --> 00:40:35,440
Speaker 1: game and I got buried. I mean, I got social

792
00:40:35,480 --> 00:40:39,000
Speaker 1: media buried out there. But I do think what Aaron

793
00:40:39,080 --> 00:40:43,560
Speaker 1: said was right from the standpoint of I don't think

794
00:40:43,600 --> 00:40:47,759
Speaker 1: a voter should predetermine whether or not you're going to

795
00:40:47,880 --> 00:40:51,520
Speaker 1: vote for somebody in the MVP balloting. I just don't.

796
00:40:51,600 --> 00:40:54,920
Speaker 1: I think the MBP and I was a voter for

797
00:40:54,960 --> 00:40:56,960
Speaker 1: a long time until I got you know, I didn't

798
00:40:56,960 --> 00:40:58,640
Speaker 1: do such a good job getting it in on time

799
00:40:58,680 --> 00:41:02,400
Speaker 1: all the time, but it was I think their job

800
00:41:02,600 --> 00:41:05,000
Speaker 1: is to tell you who was the most valuable player

801
00:41:05,040 --> 00:41:07,719
Speaker 1: in the league. And you know, if we're going to

802
00:41:07,840 --> 00:41:10,719
Speaker 1: bring up everything that happens off the field, if we're

803
00:41:10,719 --> 00:41:12,960
Speaker 1: going to determine that based on the Hall of Fame.

804
00:41:13,040 --> 00:41:15,239
Speaker 1: If we're gonna do all that, then let's say that

805
00:41:15,320 --> 00:41:18,160
Speaker 1: right up front. But if we're not, and your job

806
00:41:18,200 --> 00:41:20,959
Speaker 1: as a voter is to say who was the most

807
00:41:21,040 --> 00:41:24,840
Speaker 1: valuable player in this football season, there's only fifty people

808
00:41:24,880 --> 00:41:27,920
Speaker 1: that are voting, and so you have a big responsibility.

809
00:41:27,960 --> 00:41:29,759
Speaker 1: I'm not going to call the guy a bomb. It's

810
00:41:29,800 --> 00:41:32,279
Speaker 1: his opinion. That's the way he's going to do it.

811
00:41:32,880 --> 00:41:35,720
Speaker 1: I've heard about this in baseball, I've heard other things,

812
00:41:36,200 --> 00:41:42,200
Speaker 1: but for me, personally, I couldn't do that. I would

813
00:41:42,280 --> 00:41:44,920
Speaker 1: just put my blinders on, no matter what my political

814
00:41:44,920 --> 00:41:47,560
Speaker 1: beliefs were, and I would vote for the person that

815
00:41:47,680 --> 00:41:49,760
Speaker 1: I thought was the most valuable player of the league.

816
00:41:51,200 --> 00:41:54,040
Speaker 1: The real CC anything but a bump I'm still listening

817
00:41:54,120 --> 00:41:57,040
Speaker 1: to twenty years later. I still do the highlighter in

818
00:41:57,080 --> 00:41:59,759
Speaker 1: different colors like you taught me, mark Off the different thing.

819
00:42:00,040 --> 00:42:02,840
Speaker 1: Still got the bag with the multi colors. And thank

820
00:42:02,880 --> 00:42:05,120
Speaker 1: you for all the hundreds of hours you have spent

821
00:42:05,280 --> 00:42:09,440
Speaker 1: helping me be a broadcaster. Ah man, you're gonna make

822
00:42:09,440 --> 00:42:12,280
Speaker 1: me cry. I appreciate all of you. Thanks for making

823
00:42:12,320 --> 00:42:14,120
Speaker 1: football so much fun for all of us,
