Looking forward to it. 10 00:00:49,148 --> 00:00:52,628 Speaker 1: Absolutely Time for the lead BLOCKDA, Let's go to a 11 00:00:52,708 --> 00:00:56,188 Speaker 1: little football. The Philadelphia Eagles taking all the Houston, Texas 12 00:00:56,308 --> 00:00:58,748 Speaker 1: jail and hurts, heading a back home, a lot of 13 00:00:58,828 --> 00:01:01,788 Speaker 1: family and friends in the stands, taking some pictures, getting 14 00:01:01,828 --> 00:01:04,628 Speaker 1: them fired up. One hundred and fifty tickets to be 15 00:01:05,028 --> 00:01:09,228 Speaker 1: back home. They were going to win twenty nine to seventeen, 16 00:01:09,388 --> 00:01:13,268 Speaker 1: and they remain unbeaten, eight and all jail and hurts. 17 00:01:13,388 --> 00:01:16,468 Speaker 1: Nick s Riani, they talked after the game about what 18 00:01:16,628 --> 00:01:19,108 Speaker 1: it means to be eight and all. I know special 19 00:01:19,148 --> 00:01:21,388 Speaker 1: for the for the for the city of Philadelphia. I mean, 20 00:01:21,428 --> 00:01:24,588 Speaker 1: I've been eighty no before and lost the National Championship. 21 00:01:24,628 --> 00:01:26,388 Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. So just take your day 22 00:01:26,428 --> 00:01:27,948 Speaker 1: by day, you know what I'm saying, Take your day 23 00:01:27,988 --> 00:01:32,028 Speaker 1: by day. We haven't accomplished anything yet at this particular point. 24 00:01:32,188 --> 00:01:34,788 Speaker 1: Being eight no suite right, and you know it bac 25 00:01:34,868 --> 00:01:37,108 Speaker 1: alternative being seventy one or six and two, right, And 26 00:01:37,268 --> 00:01:40,268 Speaker 1: so we know that our goal wasn't to go eight 27 00:01:40,308 --> 00:01:42,268 Speaker 1: and no. Our goal is to take one game at 28 00:01:42,308 --> 00:01:45,548 Speaker 1: a time, and that's that's our goal. They say, one 29 00:01:45,628 --> 00:01:47,428 Speaker 1: game at a time, we pull up throughout the whole schedule. 30 00:01:47,508 --> 00:01:49,348 Speaker 1: That's how we do. Thinks you're on Good Morning Football. 31 00:01:49,708 --> 00:01:51,748 Speaker 1: I thinks they're looking up in Philadelphia. Don't matter if 32 00:01:51,788 --> 00:01:55,108 Speaker 1: you were a baseball or a football fan. World Series 33 00:01:55,348 --> 00:01:57,748 Speaker 1: undefeated team, is it too soon to start talking about 34 00:01:57,748 --> 00:02:00,148 Speaker 1: the Eagles? Though? Playing into a finish the way the 35 00:02:00,148 --> 00:02:03,028 Speaker 1: Phillies have so far this season, I usually think, like 36 00:02:03,188 --> 00:02:06,228 Speaker 1: Thanksgivings the time, you should really take these things seriously. 37 00:02:06,348 --> 00:02:09,388 Speaker 1: But this one feels different because of that remaining schedule. 38 00:02:09,468 --> 00:02:11,588 Speaker 1: There's not a ton of world beaters on it, and 39 00:02:12,388 --> 00:02:15,428 Speaker 1: if anything, I look at last night's game where the 40 00:02:15,468 --> 00:02:17,588 Speaker 1: Houston Texans came out with a game plan and we're like, 41 00:02:17,628 --> 00:02:19,908 Speaker 1: all right, Jordan Davis is out, We're gonna run this kid, 42 00:02:19,988 --> 00:02:22,548 Speaker 1: Damian Pierce down your throat and Damian pierced one hundred 43 00:02:22,588 --> 00:02:25,228 Speaker 1: and thirty nine yards. And that might be a weakness 44 00:02:25,428 --> 00:02:27,948 Speaker 1: in this Eagles team. And if I look at their schedule, 45 00:02:28,108 --> 00:02:30,588 Speaker 1: I might have an upset in the brewing. When you 46 00:02:30,668 --> 00:02:33,748 Speaker 1: look at a stretch at Jonathan Taylor, hopefully he's healthy, 47 00:02:34,308 --> 00:02:40,228 Speaker 1: Aaron Jones, Saquon Barkley, and Derrick Henry. Now you're starting 48 00:02:40,268 --> 00:02:41,948 Speaker 1: to you know, the Eagles are legit when you're starting 49 00:02:41,988 --> 00:02:44,668 Speaker 1: to find reasons why other teams can win, not just 50 00:02:45,028 --> 00:02:47,308 Speaker 1: it's impossible to go undefeated, no one does it, or 51 00:02:47,628 --> 00:02:50,028 Speaker 1: it's sure. I don't think it's impossible. I don't see 52 00:02:50,068 --> 00:02:52,348 Speaker 1: many world beaters on that schedule. They've already beaten the Cowboys, 53 00:02:52,708 --> 00:02:56,788 Speaker 1: They've already beaten the Commanders. I don't know. I'm a 54 00:02:56,868 --> 00:02:58,388 Speaker 1: I'm looking at what they've done. They've already beaten the 55 00:02:58,468 --> 00:03:01,548 Speaker 1: Vikings handedly. So when I see that stretch Jonathan Taylor, 56 00:03:01,548 --> 00:03:03,628 Speaker 1: the league's best rusher from a year ago, Aaron Jones, 57 00:03:03,628 --> 00:03:06,028 Speaker 1: who's having a great season. Seequon Barkley comeback Player of 58 00:03:06,108 --> 00:03:08,068 Speaker 1: the Year, and then of course Derrick Henry the King. 59 00:03:08,868 --> 00:03:11,188 Speaker 1: That's where I'm like, Okay, I could see them dropping 60 00:03:11,188 --> 00:03:12,708 Speaker 1: when they remember the Chiefs a couple of years ago. 61 00:03:12,828 --> 00:03:15,548 Speaker 1: We're riding high and flying and Derrick Henry and Jonathan 62 00:03:15,588 --> 00:03:17,428 Speaker 1: Taylor were like, we're gonna slow the game down, We're 63 00:03:17,428 --> 00:03:19,308 Speaker 1: gonna run the ball to underthrow, and they both beat 64 00:03:19,348 --> 00:03:22,828 Speaker 1: the Chiefs. That's where I think there's a possible slip up. 65 00:03:22,868 --> 00:03:24,908 Speaker 1: But like, is it too early, And absolutely not. They 66 00:03:24,948 --> 00:03:26,748 Speaker 1: don't turn the ball over, they run the ball. They've 67 00:03:26,828 --> 00:03:29,668 Speaker 1: got great defensive backfield. I don't think it's too early. Yeah, 68 00:03:29,668 --> 00:03:31,188 Speaker 1: I don't think so either. I feel like when I 69 00:03:31,308 --> 00:03:33,028 Speaker 1: was a player, it was just like you hated those 70 00:03:33,108 --> 00:03:35,388 Speaker 1: questions and like you said, it's one game out of time. 71 00:03:35,388 --> 00:03:37,548 Speaker 1: But I'm gonna sports media business. This is what we do. 72 00:03:38,028 --> 00:03:39,828 Speaker 1: When they went three and oh, let's start talking about 73 00:03:39,868 --> 00:03:42,308 Speaker 1: an undefeated season as soon as we can find something 74 00:03:42,348 --> 00:03:45,068 Speaker 1: to talk about and rally around. I am all four 75 00:03:45,268 --> 00:03:48,228 Speaker 1: and I think more impressive than that. This Eagles football team. 76 00:03:48,348 --> 00:03:50,268 Speaker 1: You think about this, get the game last night, the 77 00:03:50,348 --> 00:03:52,828 Speaker 1: game before where they played the Pittsburgh Steelers. You just 78 00:03:52,908 --> 00:03:54,548 Speaker 1: said they don't have a ton of world beaters on 79 00:03:54,628 --> 00:03:57,388 Speaker 1: their schedules, and they showed over the last two weeks that, yes, 80 00:03:57,428 --> 00:03:59,348 Speaker 1: if we have a team that is not a huge game, 81 00:03:59,428 --> 00:04:01,708 Speaker 1: a team that is struggling a little bit, we still 82 00:04:01,788 --> 00:04:04,268 Speaker 1: know how to come out and play and how to finish. 83 00:04:04,388 --> 00:04:06,788 Speaker 1: And they showed that we're not gonna have a letdown. 84 00:04:06,828 --> 00:04:09,148 Speaker 1: We're not gonna fall victim to a trap game or 85 00:04:09,188 --> 00:04:11,268 Speaker 1: any of the other teams or slogans you want to 86 00:04:11,308 --> 00:04:13,828 Speaker 1: call these games. We're going out there and we're gonna 87 00:04:13,868 --> 00:04:16,148 Speaker 1: play ball. Because the one thing is when you're one 88 00:04:16,188 --> 00:04:17,908 Speaker 1: of the best teams and the Eagles have the best 89 00:04:17,988 --> 00:04:21,388 Speaker 1: record in the NFL, you now become every other's team's 90 00:04:21,628 --> 00:04:24,828 Speaker 1: biggest game on the schedule, and you get every team's 91 00:04:25,108 --> 00:04:27,428 Speaker 1: best shot. And I remember everybody used to say that, 92 00:04:27,508 --> 00:04:29,508 Speaker 1: and I was just like, it's the NFL, Like everybody 93 00:04:29,548 --> 00:04:31,828 Speaker 1: plays their hardest each and every week. And when I 94 00:04:31,948 --> 00:04:34,508 Speaker 1: joined the New England Patriots, it was totally different. You'd 95 00:04:34,508 --> 00:04:37,188 Speaker 1: be getting ready for a team that was struggling and 96 00:04:37,228 --> 00:04:38,948 Speaker 1: they come out and next thing, you know, how we 97 00:04:39,028 --> 00:04:41,908 Speaker 1: watched the Houston Texans, they hadn't scored a touchdown under 98 00:04:41,988 --> 00:04:45,348 Speaker 1: opening drive all season. Playing against the Philadelphia Eagles, they 99 00:04:45,508 --> 00:04:48,068 Speaker 1: do that. They found a way still though, this Eagles 100 00:04:48,148 --> 00:04:50,908 Speaker 1: team to come back. They responded to every drive that 101 00:04:51,028 --> 00:04:53,428 Speaker 1: Houston had. And I think it's not too early. They're 102 00:04:53,428 --> 00:04:55,148 Speaker 1: a team. Whether they can do it or not, we'll 103 00:04:55,188 --> 00:04:57,908 Speaker 1: find out. It is a National Football League. Anybody can 104 00:04:57,988 --> 00:05:00,908 Speaker 1: win on any given Sunday, so we'll find out. But no, 105 00:05:01,028 --> 00:05:02,708 Speaker 1: I don't think it's too soon. Let's talk about it. 106 00:05:02,868 --> 00:05:04,908 Speaker 1: Let's pull up the whole schedule like he did and 107 00:05:05,028 --> 00:05:06,948 Speaker 1: start marking the games. Oh yeah, that's a win, and 108 00:05:06,988 --> 00:05:08,828 Speaker 1: that's a win, like you gotta say a ton of 109 00:05:08,908 --> 00:05:10,868 Speaker 1: logos on the screen. I'm all for it. Yeah, September, 110 00:05:10,868 --> 00:05:13,428 Speaker 1: October definitely, little early November. We're starting to morph into it. 111 00:05:13,508 --> 00:05:15,308 Speaker 1: I'm with you, though, I feel like double digit wins 112 00:05:15,388 --> 00:05:17,148 Speaker 1: once you get into there. All right now, we're talking 113 00:05:17,188 --> 00:05:19,228 Speaker 1: about finishing out the season. When you look at the 114 00:05:19,308 --> 00:05:22,548 Speaker 1: Eagles though, and you look at what they did last night. 115 00:05:22,708 --> 00:05:24,548 Speaker 1: That was the game that they had a chance to 116 00:05:24,788 --> 00:05:27,988 Speaker 1: drop the clunker. You know, Houston nothing to play for really. 117 00:05:28,028 --> 00:05:29,948 Speaker 1: They score on the opening drive, but they rally back, 118 00:05:29,988 --> 00:05:31,548 Speaker 1: and I think When you look at the Eagles with 119 00:05:31,628 --> 00:05:34,108 Speaker 1: how they're winning football games, I think they're built to last. 120 00:05:34,148 --> 00:05:36,428 Speaker 1: All right, let's just kind of go back in history here, 121 00:05:36,548 --> 00:05:38,388 Speaker 1: and let's take a look at some of these undefeated. 122 00:05:38,468 --> 00:05:41,628 Speaker 1: This is not uncharted territory for the NFL. So the 123 00:05:41,748 --> 00:05:43,388 Speaker 1: Eagles this is the first time gone. I ain't know. 124 00:05:43,508 --> 00:05:46,468 Speaker 1: But let's take a look at teams that have started 125 00:05:46,548 --> 00:05:49,908 Speaker 1: eight noses twenty fifteen and how it ended up. Okay, 126 00:05:50,308 --> 00:05:52,148 Speaker 1: twenty twenty, we got to go all way back to there. 127 00:05:52,228 --> 00:05:54,828 Speaker 1: Like last year, the Arizona Cardinals started out seven and 128 00:05:54,908 --> 00:05:56,588 Speaker 1: oh ended up losing the Green of Packers on Thursday 129 00:05:56,628 --> 00:05:59,228 Speaker 1: eight football. But the Steelers, they start out eleven and 130 00:05:59,308 --> 00:06:01,268 Speaker 1: OH ended up losing four out of the last five. 131 00:06:01,588 --> 00:06:03,868 Speaker 1: They ended up losing in the wildcard game. You go 132 00:06:03,908 --> 00:06:05,468 Speaker 1: through and you at this list. These are all teams 133 00:06:05,468 --> 00:06:08,228 Speaker 1: to start out, they faded down the stretch, all right. 134 00:06:08,548 --> 00:06:12,188 Speaker 1: Only only three of them actually got to the Super Bowl. 135 00:06:12,268 --> 00:06:15,828 Speaker 1: If my eyes are deceiving me. So you know, your 136 00:06:15,868 --> 00:06:17,748 Speaker 1: Eagles fans, you're like, hey, that would be great at all. 137 00:06:17,788 --> 00:06:20,708 Speaker 1: But when history doesn't show that going undefeated helps you 138 00:06:20,788 --> 00:06:23,388 Speaker 1: out down the stretch, this is where I think Philadelphia 139 00:06:23,588 --> 00:06:25,028 Speaker 1: is different than some of these other teams that we 140 00:06:25,108 --> 00:06:27,028 Speaker 1: just showed you on that board because they had to 141 00:06:27,108 --> 00:06:29,068 Speaker 1: build and run the football. You talked about the office 142 00:06:29,148 --> 00:06:31,668 Speaker 1: line about Jordan my load on Lane, Johnson Land and Nickerson, 143 00:06:31,948 --> 00:06:34,508 Speaker 1: how physically they are up front, their two dimensional offensively 144 00:06:34,628 --> 00:06:36,908 Speaker 1: three dimensionally really if if you if you factor in 145 00:06:37,308 --> 00:06:39,268 Speaker 1: Dallas Goddard in that. So I look at that aspect 146 00:06:39,308 --> 00:06:40,948 Speaker 1: of it, and I think it's not too early to 147 00:06:40,988 --> 00:06:43,388 Speaker 1: talk about how going undefeated, But I think when you 148 00:06:43,428 --> 00:06:45,588 Speaker 1: look at the players, they understand that's not the goal. 149 00:06:45,708 --> 00:06:47,868 Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts already said it. I'll say this one time. 150 00:06:48,028 --> 00:06:50,188 Speaker 1: Two thousand and eight, the best team I've ever been on. 151 00:06:50,308 --> 00:06:51,788 Speaker 1: We start out four and oh we got to play 152 00:06:51,788 --> 00:06:53,788 Speaker 1: Cleveland Browns and runing in football and we're, hey, we're 153 00:06:53,828 --> 00:06:56,348 Speaker 1: feeling ourselves. Hey, defending Super Bowl chams. We're pretty darn good. 154 00:06:56,548 --> 00:06:59,348 Speaker 1: We got slaughtered like we got were Aylan Edward, we 155 00:06:59,388 --> 00:07:02,668 Speaker 1: got job Derek Anderson, right, Yeah, Derek Anderson ended up 156 00:07:02,708 --> 00:07:04,268 Speaker 1: beating us. It was the best thing that ever happened 157 00:07:04,268 --> 00:07:05,868 Speaker 1: to us because we kind of got that out of 158 00:07:05,868 --> 00:07:08,788 Speaker 1: the way, got off our high horse, and we buckled 159 00:07:08,828 --> 00:07:10,628 Speaker 1: down and we went on to rattle off some big wins, 160 00:07:11,028 --> 00:07:12,948 Speaker 1: going to eleven one that year. So sometimes a loss 161 00:07:12,988 --> 00:07:15,268 Speaker 1: can actually really recalibrate the team and kind of refocus 162 00:07:15,308 --> 00:07:17,148 Speaker 1: everybody and get all the nonsense off. I'm not wishing 163 00:07:17,188 --> 00:07:19,548 Speaker 1: that on anybody, but it's fun. Enjoy well, alass, John, 164 00:07:19,588 --> 00:07:21,828 Speaker 1: I'm with you with I feel like November you're finally 165 00:07:21,868 --> 00:07:25,068 Speaker 1: permitted to inch closer to this conversation. Just like you're 166 00:07:25,068 --> 00:07:27,428 Speaker 1: allowed to have your holiday cups out at Starbucks, You're 167 00:07:27,588 --> 00:07:30,108 Speaker 1: you're starting to be allowed to have your holiday decorations out. 168 00:07:30,148 --> 00:07:32,308 Speaker 1: Elf on the shelf is big around Christmas time. Like 169 00:07:32,348 --> 00:07:34,828 Speaker 1: if you've touched the elf, the spirit leave, the Christmas 170 00:07:34,828 --> 00:07:37,428 Speaker 1: spirit leaves your house. I'm looking at a Christmas Eve 171 00:07:37,548 --> 00:07:40,068 Speaker 1: game and it's in Dallas, and like, don't touch your 172 00:07:40,108 --> 00:07:42,428 Speaker 1: elf and then have the Christmas Eve spirit leave the 173 00:07:42,508 --> 00:07:45,108 Speaker 1: game for the Eagles and the Cowboys, because that Cowboys 174 00:07:45,188 --> 00:07:48,228 Speaker 1: game Christmas Eve for the Eagles, that one feels like 175 00:07:48,508 --> 00:07:50,708 Speaker 1: it's building. That would be the third road game the 176 00:07:50,748 --> 00:07:53,508 Speaker 1: Eagles have in that stretch. You're talking about running backs, 177 00:07:53,508 --> 00:07:55,588 Speaker 1: I'm thinking about road games and that target on their 178 00:07:55,628 --> 00:07:58,908 Speaker 1: back if they are unbeaten heading into Christmas Eve. Oh 179 00:07:59,188 --> 00:08:01,828 Speaker 1: my goodness, I'm thinking about the way the Cowboys are 180 00:08:01,828 --> 00:08:05,268 Speaker 1: playing right now. Last week without Ezekiel l Tony Pollard 181 00:08:05,308 --> 00:08:07,788 Speaker 1: had himself a day and Zeke looked fired up about it. 182 00:08:08,068 --> 00:08:10,388 Speaker 1: These two, no matter how much people want to kick 183 00:08:10,468 --> 00:08:12,388 Speaker 1: and scream about how it should be Pollard, it should 184 00:08:12,388 --> 00:08:14,548 Speaker 1: be Zeke, it should be about I think they just 185 00:08:14,628 --> 00:08:16,028 Speaker 1: want to go out there and win. They want to 186 00:08:16,068 --> 00:08:20,268 Speaker 1: be a running back room that beats people, that extends drives, 187 00:08:20,548 --> 00:08:23,228 Speaker 1: that rips off this offense. Dak Prescott is back. Cooper 188 00:08:23,268 --> 00:08:26,068 Speaker 1: rush got them there. The game that the Cowboys lost 189 00:08:26,108 --> 00:08:28,468 Speaker 1: to the Eagles, Cooper rushed through three picks. He finally 190 00:08:28,628 --> 00:08:31,468 Speaker 1: allowed himself to be human in that game for the Cowboys. 191 00:08:31,788 --> 00:08:35,228 Speaker 1: I think if the Eagles remain undefeated, a totalisnas Eve, 192 00:08:35,388 --> 00:08:39,828 Speaker 1: that game in Dallas is a holiday gift worth watching. 193 00:08:40,108 --> 00:08:42,348 Speaker 1: Oh my gosh. But that's the one that feels very 194 00:08:42,428 --> 00:08:44,388 Speaker 1: dangerous to me because of the setup for both of us. 195 00:08:44,388 --> 00:08:46,548 Speaker 1: I'll never forget. And you were in this game the 196 00:08:46,668 --> 00:08:49,468 Speaker 1: Patriots and Giants, and it was a New Year's Eve game, 197 00:08:49,628 --> 00:08:51,708 Speaker 1: and it was it was right before the New Year, 198 00:08:51,788 --> 00:08:54,028 Speaker 1: and it was everyone watching the whole entire country. This 199 00:08:54,148 --> 00:08:56,108 Speaker 1: has that feel if the Eagles can rattle this off. 200 00:08:56,508 --> 00:08:59,068 Speaker 1: The entire country watching this Eagles team to see if 201 00:08:59,068 --> 00:09:00,748 Speaker 1: they're legit or not. If they make it all the 202 00:09:00,788 --> 00:09:02,308 Speaker 1: way to there, we've got a story for December on 203 00:09:02,428 --> 00:09:05,748 Speaker 1: time was and it would only be sweet if the 204 00:09:05,788 --> 00:09:07,548 Speaker 1: whole country is watching. And the Cowboys know that they 205 00:09:07,588 --> 00:09:10,388 Speaker 1: could play spoiler. I mean, you just know yet that's 206 00:09:10,428 --> 00:09:12,948 Speaker 1: a franchise and arrivalry that's ripe for that. NFL that 207 00:09:12,988 --> 00:09:15,508 Speaker 1: work Insider aid rapport is doing us not rap sheet 208 00:09:15,508 --> 00:09:18,068 Speaker 1: busy this morning as we kick off Week nine, and 209 00:09:18,228 --> 00:09:20,428 Speaker 1: there are some names that we need to watch out 210 00:09:20,468 --> 00:09:24,548 Speaker 1: for on the injury report at ir season ending situations 211 00:09:24,548 --> 00:09:26,708 Speaker 1: see and what's going on Here's that I would say 212 00:09:26,748 --> 00:09:28,668 Speaker 1: most up in the air for this week too high 213 00:09:28,748 --> 00:09:31,508 Speaker 1: profile guys in real football and fantasy football. If you 214 00:09:31,548 --> 00:09:34,108 Speaker 1: happen to have Jonathan Taylor on your fantasy team, the 215 00:09:34,268 --> 00:09:36,588 Speaker 1: coach starting running back, one of the best running backs 216 00:09:36,588 --> 00:09:39,268 Speaker 1: in football, has not practiced yet this week. And this 217 00:09:39,388 --> 00:09:41,788 Speaker 1: is a little different from the way it's Benny's dealingly 218 00:09:41,828 --> 00:09:44,668 Speaker 1: than ankle injury. Remember he had that ankle sprain earlier 219 00:09:44,748 --> 00:09:47,748 Speaker 1: in the season that has lingered and for my understanding 220 00:09:47,828 --> 00:09:50,628 Speaker 1: this is really just about maintenance and doing what he 221 00:09:50,708 --> 00:09:53,628 Speaker 1: can to limit his workload during the week and get 222 00:09:53,708 --> 00:09:55,268 Speaker 1: on the field on Sunday. But the fact that he 223 00:09:55,308 --> 00:09:57,628 Speaker 1: hasn't practiced yet not a great sign. If he's out 224 00:09:57,668 --> 00:10:00,788 Speaker 1: of practice later today, that would mean likely playing, you'd 225 00:10:00,828 --> 00:10:03,308 Speaker 1: think on Sunday, But we will see about that. Not 226 00:10:03,428 --> 00:10:05,348 Speaker 1: a great sign though, that he has not yet been 227 00:10:05,388 --> 00:10:08,708 Speaker 1: out of the field. Meanwhile, encouraging news for Cooper Cup, 228 00:10:09,068 --> 00:10:12,828 Speaker 1: the Rams do everything receiver. He also suffered at ankle 229 00:10:12,908 --> 00:10:16,228 Speaker 1: injury last week. Actually kind of looked scary late in 230 00:10:16,308 --> 00:10:18,708 Speaker 1: the game. Turned out to be not nearly as big 231 00:10:18,748 --> 00:10:22,108 Speaker 1: a deal as everyone thought. Did not practice Wednesday, was 232 00:10:22,348 --> 00:10:25,468 Speaker 1: back at practice yesterday, talking to reporters in the locker 233 00:10:25,548 --> 00:10:29,228 Speaker 1: room after practice, said that the day was encouraging. He 234 00:10:29,348 --> 00:10:31,508 Speaker 1: was going to trust the process, but it sounded like 235 00:10:31,908 --> 00:10:33,708 Speaker 1: he thought he was going to be able to be 236 00:10:33,788 --> 00:10:37,508 Speaker 1: back on the field and playing for the Rams on Sunday. Oh, 237 00:10:37,588 --> 00:10:39,588 Speaker 1: that would be a pods of spin. The Rams absolutely 238 00:10:39,628 --> 00:10:41,828 Speaker 1: need all the help they can get, according to the 239 00:10:41,868 --> 00:10:43,868 Speaker 1: last couple of weeks that they've been going through Ian rapport. 240 00:10:43,908 --> 00:10:45,068 Speaker 1: Thank you very much. We'll talk to you in a 241 00:10:45,108 --> 00:10:48,508 Speaker 1: little bit, I'm gonna dive into some sometimes not good football. 242 00:10:48,588 --> 00:10:50,628 Speaker 1: That's okay, there's time to figure it out. There's a 243 00:10:50,668 --> 00:10:53,988 Speaker 1: big rematch coming up on Sunday. The Rams eliminated Tom 244 00:10:54,068 --> 00:10:56,588 Speaker 1: Brady the Buccaneers on their way to the Super Bowl 245 00:10:56,708 --> 00:10:59,908 Speaker 1: last season, but this year, this year, both teams are 246 00:11:00,028 --> 00:11:03,748 Speaker 1: just looking to get some positive momentum going into Week nine. Indeed, 247 00:11:03,908 --> 00:11:06,908 Speaker 1: still stan for positive momentum willing into weeks night Arland 248 00:11:06,988 --> 00:11:11,228 Speaker 1: Sarah Walsh has the latest on that entire situation, Jamie. 249 00:11:11,348 --> 00:11:14,468 Speaker 1: Unlike the cast of Good Morning Football that's got incredible chemistry, 250 00:11:14,628 --> 00:11:16,428 Speaker 1: the Bucks and the Rams are still trying to figure 251 00:11:16,508 --> 00:11:18,628 Speaker 1: things out. This is not the same la in Tampa 252 00:11:18,708 --> 00:11:20,708 Speaker 1: teams that met in the postseason a year ago. With 253 00:11:20,828 --> 00:11:23,748 Speaker 1: so much momentum on Tampa side, the defense hasn't had 254 00:11:23,788 --> 00:11:26,548 Speaker 1: a takeaway in four straight games, which is really unheard 255 00:11:26,588 --> 00:11:29,068 Speaker 1: of for the Buccaneers. One of their defensive leaders, Devin White, 256 00:11:29,148 --> 00:11:32,108 Speaker 1: has come under heavy criticism, most recently by Warren Sapp, 257 00:11:32,148 --> 00:11:33,988 Speaker 1: who said that White should take the sea off his 258 00:11:34,188 --> 00:11:36,628 Speaker 1: chest for what SAP believes his lack of effort. Now, 259 00:11:36,788 --> 00:11:39,868 Speaker 1: White responded and said, freedom of speech, SAP can say 260 00:11:39,908 --> 00:11:41,508 Speaker 1: what he wants and he respects him, but he said 261 00:11:41,548 --> 00:11:44,268 Speaker 1: his teammates know what he's about. On the offensive side, 262 00:11:44,348 --> 00:11:46,188 Speaker 1: Tom Brady said, you can either back down to the 263 00:11:46,268 --> 00:11:48,188 Speaker 1: challenge or you can step it up and stop me 264 00:11:48,228 --> 00:11:50,228 Speaker 1: if you've heard this before, but Tom Brady can hit 265 00:11:50,268 --> 00:11:53,308 Speaker 1: another milestone on Sunday. He is one hundred and sixty 266 00:11:53,348 --> 00:11:56,268 Speaker 1: four passing yard shy of hitting the mark of one 267 00:11:56,468 --> 00:11:59,668 Speaker 1: hundred thousand. Brady said that sounds crazy even to him, 268 00:11:59,828 --> 00:12:02,148 Speaker 1: but he is prepared. He said he'll probably be keeping 269 00:12:02,268 --> 00:12:04,468 Speaker 1: that jersey, which he's doing more of lately, and he 270 00:12:04,508 --> 00:12:06,428 Speaker 1: said he's also going to put out an ap beat 271 00:12:06,508 --> 00:12:09,428 Speaker 1: to his offensive guys about not handing that ball over. 272 00:12:09,588 --> 00:12:11,508 Speaker 1: That's something that they have learned the hard way here 273 00:12:11,588 --> 00:12:13,668 Speaker 1: in Tampa and Jamie, next time I see all you 274 00:12:13,748 --> 00:12:16,028 Speaker 1: guys will all be in Munich. So see you guys 275 00:12:16,068 --> 00:12:20,628 Speaker 1: soon overseas. Pretzels and beer on us, Sarah, it sounds awesome. 276 00:12:20,668 --> 00:12:23,148 Speaker 1: We can't wait. The Bucks and the Rams. They are 277 00:12:23,348 --> 00:12:25,868 Speaker 1: just two of the six playoff teams from last year 278 00:12:25,908 --> 00:12:28,188 Speaker 1: that are currently below five fos. It has to be 279 00:12:28,268 --> 00:12:31,428 Speaker 1: the first time. This is shocking. We're almost at the 280 00:12:31,508 --> 00:12:35,828 Speaker 1: midway point of this season, so right exactly. So take 281 00:12:35,868 --> 00:12:38,268 Speaker 1: someone off that list, a struggling team that was in 282 00:12:38,308 --> 00:12:40,628 Speaker 1: the playoffs last year that's so badly needs to win 283 00:12:40,708 --> 00:12:42,428 Speaker 1: this weekend that you want to lift them off right now. 284 00:12:42,508 --> 00:12:45,228 Speaker 1: Going to stick with where Sarah is Tampa. It's so 285 00:12:45,348 --> 00:12:49,588 Speaker 1: head scratching, the confounding to what's going on with this team, 286 00:12:49,788 --> 00:12:53,468 Speaker 1: no life, no buzz. And you look at the team 287 00:12:53,748 --> 00:12:56,068 Speaker 1: and it's a bunch of veteran guys and many of 288 00:12:56,188 --> 00:12:59,548 Speaker 1: them have won a Super Bowl, so it's not like, hey, 289 00:13:00,228 --> 00:13:02,828 Speaker 1: and it could fall off a cliff fast. You lose 290 00:13:02,868 --> 00:13:05,108 Speaker 1: to the Rams this week. Now you're talking about your 291 00:13:05,148 --> 00:13:07,308 Speaker 1: six loss in seven weeks, and then you're talking about 292 00:13:07,308 --> 00:13:09,388 Speaker 1: having to pack up the bags and go on this 293 00:13:09,748 --> 00:13:13,548 Speaker 1: NFL like ambassador trip toll of Germany where you're the 294 00:13:13,628 --> 00:13:15,508 Speaker 1: face of the NFL. Like, do you think those guys 295 00:13:15,588 --> 00:13:17,588 Speaker 1: want to make that trip after losing another game? No, 296 00:13:17,828 --> 00:13:20,308 Speaker 1: they want to be in their own beds, comfortable, and 297 00:13:20,348 --> 00:13:22,708 Speaker 1: they can get really ugly really fast. I said it 298 00:13:22,788 --> 00:13:24,428 Speaker 1: last week when we came on the show on a 299 00:13:24,468 --> 00:13:27,028 Speaker 1: Friday morning, and I don't do this often, and I 300 00:13:27,188 --> 00:13:28,548 Speaker 1: was like, I think there needs to be a major 301 00:13:28,668 --> 00:13:31,068 Speaker 1: change in Tampa. I didn't call for the firing of 302 00:13:31,148 --> 00:13:33,908 Speaker 1: a head coach. I didn't call for the releaseable player, 303 00:13:33,948 --> 00:13:36,588 Speaker 1: but I said something is likely going to happen because 304 00:13:36,588 --> 00:13:38,748 Speaker 1: I've been covering this league too long and to watch 305 00:13:38,828 --> 00:13:40,508 Speaker 1: a game like that, the loss of the Ravens and 306 00:13:40,588 --> 00:13:42,628 Speaker 1: just say, yeah, we'll go that we got let's go 307 00:13:42,908 --> 00:13:45,388 Speaker 1: and Byron left which is still employed, Todd Bowls is 308 00:13:45,428 --> 00:13:48,068 Speaker 1: still employed. All those players are there. What happened was 309 00:13:48,308 --> 00:13:51,268 Speaker 1: a former player, Warren Sapp, came out in Warrensapp's voice 310 00:13:51,348 --> 00:13:53,908 Speaker 1: Matters in Tampa and he called out that defense and 311 00:13:54,028 --> 00:13:56,268 Speaker 1: he called out Devon White and he said, you're loafing. 312 00:13:56,308 --> 00:13:57,988 Speaker 1: This is a guy, Devin White, who was a Super 313 00:13:58,028 --> 00:14:00,228 Speaker 1: Bowl champion, was one of the best players on that 314 00:14:00,268 --> 00:14:02,188 Speaker 1: Team's a top five pick. And then Devin White didn't 315 00:14:02,188 --> 00:14:03,468 Speaker 1: want to go back and forth in the media, so 316 00:14:03,628 --> 00:14:05,868 Speaker 1: he didn't talk to the media. This thing is starting 317 00:14:05,908 --> 00:14:08,788 Speaker 1: to mushroom right now. You lose to this Rams team 318 00:14:08,908 --> 00:14:11,068 Speaker 1: at home, and the Boo Birds are coming, and you've 319 00:14:11,108 --> 00:14:13,508 Speaker 1: got Nansen Romo on the call, the whole country being 320 00:14:13,588 --> 00:14:15,308 Speaker 1: forced to sit through this, and then you got to 321 00:14:15,348 --> 00:14:18,108 Speaker 1: get on a plane and fly to Munich. I don't 322 00:14:18,108 --> 00:14:19,188 Speaker 1: know if I want to be a part of that 323 00:14:19,308 --> 00:14:21,348 Speaker 1: team right now, I don't know unless you get the 324 00:14:21,388 --> 00:14:24,028 Speaker 1: win and suddenly, all right, we're in the NFC sale 325 00:14:24,428 --> 00:14:26,748 Speaker 1: and we're four and five, and we could turn things around, 326 00:14:26,748 --> 00:14:29,268 Speaker 1: and we're better than Mariota and we're better than PJ. Walker, 327 00:14:29,348 --> 00:14:31,468 Speaker 1: and we're better than A win is huge right now, 328 00:14:31,548 --> 00:14:33,828 Speaker 1: a loss, there might be no locker room or team 329 00:14:33,828 --> 00:14:35,228 Speaker 1: I'd want to be around less than a bunch of 330 00:14:35,308 --> 00:14:37,748 Speaker 1: veterans who are three and six and aren't exactly playing great. 331 00:14:37,828 --> 00:14:40,828 Speaker 1: I'm going to another veteran quarterback who are struggling right now, 332 00:14:40,988 --> 00:14:43,468 Speaker 1: and that's Aaron Rodgers in the Green Bay Pack talk 333 00:14:43,508 --> 00:14:45,788 Speaker 1: about it. They have to be able to get this win. 334 00:14:46,108 --> 00:14:48,668 Speaker 1: They lost in the Buffalo Bills last week, and they 335 00:14:48,748 --> 00:14:51,268 Speaker 1: talked about after the game. They had some good moments 336 00:14:51,308 --> 00:14:53,788 Speaker 1: and it was almost like a moral victory, like your 337 00:14:53,828 --> 00:14:55,868 Speaker 1: son or your daughters out there at they're playing soccer. 338 00:14:55,988 --> 00:14:58,188 Speaker 1: They lost the game, but everybody gets a medal, and 339 00:14:58,388 --> 00:15:00,868 Speaker 1: that's not what the NFL is. And we've watched it 340 00:15:01,188 --> 00:15:04,588 Speaker 1: very frustrated Aaron Rodgers this season. He talked to about 341 00:15:04,628 --> 00:15:08,348 Speaker 1: it all throughout training camp. Not having the guys young receivers, mistakes, 342 00:15:08,428 --> 00:15:10,908 Speaker 1: not knowing the plays, all of these other things, and 343 00:15:11,068 --> 00:15:13,468 Speaker 1: you see it carrying over. But they have two studs 344 00:15:13,548 --> 00:15:16,148 Speaker 1: at running back, Aaron Jones and AJ Dillon, and you 345 00:15:16,268 --> 00:15:18,708 Speaker 1: want to see these guys continue to succeed. But you 346 00:15:18,868 --> 00:15:21,388 Speaker 1: want to see Aaron Rodgers throwing the ball down the field. 347 00:15:21,388 --> 00:15:23,308 Speaker 1: And if there's any week to do it, it is 348 00:15:23,388 --> 00:15:25,988 Speaker 1: this week. They're going against the Detroit Lions, who have 349 00:15:26,308 --> 00:15:30,068 Speaker 1: struggled mightily on the defensive side of the ball. Look 350 00:15:30,108 --> 00:15:31,588 Speaker 1: at it. You don't even have to look at what 351 00:15:31,748 --> 00:15:34,308 Speaker 1: the rankings are. Don't even care what it is. Points 352 00:15:34,348 --> 00:15:42,068 Speaker 1: per game all the way to the right, last, last, last, last, last, 353 00:15:42,228 --> 00:15:45,828 Speaker 1: and every single column. They just fired their dB coach. 354 00:15:45,868 --> 00:15:48,748 Speaker 1: I'll be pleasant, and I guess that's a scapegoat thing. 355 00:15:48,788 --> 00:15:51,468 Speaker 1: There's no way he's responsible for them point being last 356 00:15:51,508 --> 00:15:54,308 Speaker 1: in every single category. So for Aaron Rodgers in this 357 00:15:54,388 --> 00:15:57,228 Speaker 1: Green Bay Packers' offense, this is your opportunity to get 358 00:15:57,268 --> 00:15:59,548 Speaker 1: back on track. You're going and you're playing against the 359 00:15:59,588 --> 00:16:01,988 Speaker 1: Detroit Lions. Aaron Rodgers has won five out of his 360 00:16:02,188 --> 00:16:05,348 Speaker 1: last six games against the Lions. The only loss come 361 00:16:05,388 --> 00:16:07,988 Speaker 1: in last season, the last game where in player stars 362 00:16:07,988 --> 00:16:09,748 Speaker 1: they were getting ready for the playoffs. You want to 363 00:16:09,748 --> 00:16:12,108 Speaker 1: get ready for the playoffs. Win this game and try 364 00:16:12,148 --> 00:16:14,228 Speaker 1: to secure and give yourself a chance to be in 365 00:16:14,348 --> 00:16:16,908 Speaker 1: the conversation to head back to the playoffs. This season, 366 00:16:17,108 --> 00:16:19,388 Speaker 1: we're talking about all three of these teams and they 367 00:16:19,468 --> 00:16:21,068 Speaker 1: just can't seem to get right. So I'm going to 368 00:16:21,108 --> 00:16:23,548 Speaker 1: take the defending Super Bowl champs. Give me the la Rams. 369 00:16:23,588 --> 00:16:25,548 Speaker 1: What in the wide world's going on? How did callie? 370 00:16:25,668 --> 00:16:27,308 Speaker 1: What's going on there? The three or four right now? 371 00:16:27,388 --> 00:16:29,268 Speaker 1: And look a lot of people talk about, Hey, sometimes 372 00:16:29,308 --> 00:16:32,028 Speaker 1: you start slow the next season at the Super Bowl, 373 00:16:32,188 --> 00:16:34,428 Speaker 1: you know, you're still thinking about the previous year. I 374 00:16:34,508 --> 00:16:36,708 Speaker 1: just don't know what's going on with this offense. I 375 00:16:36,788 --> 00:16:39,108 Speaker 1: know Cooper cup is having another phenomenal year, but I 376 00:16:39,148 --> 00:16:41,748 Speaker 1: feel like Matt Stafford, like enough with the interceptions already, 377 00:16:41,828 --> 00:16:43,788 Speaker 1: like last year, you know, I think he got a 378 00:16:43,828 --> 00:16:46,188 Speaker 1: pass for some of the interceptions of new year, new 379 00:16:46,268 --> 00:16:49,348 Speaker 1: offense to learn some things. But this offense, like you 380 00:16:49,468 --> 00:16:52,268 Speaker 1: need that the explosive game, that breakout game, and this 381 00:16:52,588 --> 00:16:53,908 Speaker 1: would be the best time to have it. You know 382 00:16:53,908 --> 00:16:57,148 Speaker 1: you're gonna get an opportunity already. Yeah, we're November already 383 00:16:57,188 --> 00:16:59,588 Speaker 1: and Stafford has got three touchdown passes in his last 384 00:16:59,668 --> 00:17:01,428 Speaker 1: five games, right, So, I mean that's just not what 385 00:17:01,548 --> 00:17:04,668 Speaker 1: we're used to seeing with this offense. And I can't 386 00:17:04,668 --> 00:17:06,588 Speaker 1: always be cleeper Cup. Somebody else got to step up, 387 00:17:06,628 --> 00:17:08,788 Speaker 1: but I need Stafford to play better. You go back 388 00:17:08,828 --> 00:17:11,108 Speaker 1: to that game the last time they played each other, 389 00:17:11,228 --> 00:17:15,068 Speaker 1: as Sarah Walsh mentioned, the divisional round down game Tampa. 390 00:17:15,548 --> 00:17:17,788 Speaker 1: They needed a big play for the love of the game. 391 00:17:17,948 --> 00:17:19,908 Speaker 1: You know what that was the call, the name of 392 00:17:19,988 --> 00:17:21,828 Speaker 1: the play. That's now what we want to see you. 393 00:17:21,988 --> 00:17:23,628 Speaker 1: That's how we want to see you play the game 394 00:17:23,668 --> 00:17:25,028 Speaker 1: for the love of the game. Let's see the passion, 395 00:17:25,108 --> 00:17:27,548 Speaker 1: Let's see the flowers. Let's see some offensive production from Stafford, 396 00:17:27,548 --> 00:17:29,348 Speaker 1: and this Ragams offense couldn't come in a better time 397 00:17:29,348 --> 00:17:31,268 Speaker 1: against the books for the love of all things good 398 00:17:31,268 --> 00:17:33,228 Speaker 1: and pure. What's going on with the Las Vegas Raiders 399 00:17:33,348 --> 00:17:36,868 Speaker 1: right now? My goodness. I mean, every team on this 400 00:17:37,028 --> 00:17:39,188 Speaker 1: list that we just talked about like they've I think 401 00:17:39,268 --> 00:17:42,868 Speaker 1: that they have played more to their potential. They're struggling, 402 00:17:43,068 --> 00:17:44,948 Speaker 1: but no one is struggling as bad as the Raiders 403 00:17:44,988 --> 00:17:46,948 Speaker 1: are right now. They come off of ye two weeks 404 00:17:46,988 --> 00:17:50,348 Speaker 1: ago they beat the Texans, and it feels like, Okay, 405 00:17:50,508 --> 00:17:52,748 Speaker 1: obviously it took your ten days. You got a couple 406 00:17:52,748 --> 00:17:56,268 Speaker 1: of things, right, Let's go Texans, and then let's go see. 407 00:17:56,628 --> 00:17:58,508 Speaker 1: Oh you get shut up by the Saints in New Orleans? Okay, 408 00:17:58,588 --> 00:18:01,628 Speaker 1: what dis What just happened? The roller coaster that the 409 00:18:01,748 --> 00:18:04,588 Speaker 1: Raiders have taken everybody on in an off season where 410 00:18:04,628 --> 00:18:08,508 Speaker 1: the expectation was so high with a new GM that 411 00:18:08,708 --> 00:18:11,508 Speaker 1: hired a new head coach. Josh McDaniels was standing right there, 412 00:18:11,948 --> 00:18:14,028 Speaker 1: and Dave Ziegler came out this week and said, there's 413 00:18:14,068 --> 00:18:15,628 Speaker 1: no one I have more confidence in right now than 414 00:18:15,708 --> 00:18:18,308 Speaker 1: Josh McDaniels. The way he has handled himself professionally at 415 00:18:18,348 --> 00:18:20,948 Speaker 1: two and five, it really tests your leadership and whatnot. 416 00:18:21,148 --> 00:18:24,028 Speaker 1: Oh man, I can imagine that it's a test and 417 00:18:24,108 --> 00:18:26,588 Speaker 1: it's a challenge. But something has to get right here 418 00:18:26,628 --> 00:18:28,588 Speaker 1: because right now, the two wins you have at the 419 00:18:28,668 --> 00:18:32,388 Speaker 1: time was at a very challenged Broncos team and then 420 00:18:32,628 --> 00:18:36,148 Speaker 1: against the Texans. So your wins are not that notable, 421 00:18:36,428 --> 00:18:39,708 Speaker 1: your play in challenging games not great. To be shut 422 00:18:39,788 --> 00:18:42,068 Speaker 1: out by the Saints, and I cannot figure out, for 423 00:18:42,108 --> 00:18:43,468 Speaker 1: the life of me, what has happened to this team 424 00:18:43,508 --> 00:18:46,228 Speaker 1: that has riddled with talent. Josh Jacobs ride him and 425 00:18:46,308 --> 00:18:48,428 Speaker 1: they won't. It can't. I don't know what it's alarming. 426 00:18:48,628 --> 00:18:50,588 Speaker 1: They didn't cross the fifty last week. I don't think 427 00:18:51,708 --> 00:18:54,628 Speaker 1: we're talking Davante Adams is on this roster. Derek Carmis 428 00:18:54,668 --> 00:18:57,228 Speaker 1: one hundred plus million dollars. You paid Max Crosby, you 429 00:18:57,348 --> 00:18:59,828 Speaker 1: paid Chandler Jones. This isn't a young team. This is 430 00:18:59,908 --> 00:19:02,668 Speaker 1: a bad team right now. And they're all paid very 431 00:19:02,708 --> 00:19:04,748 Speaker 1: well in their veterans, and they don't have the draft 432 00:19:04,788 --> 00:19:06,588 Speaker 1: picks coming. They traded it away for John They had 433 00:19:06,628 --> 00:19:08,188 Speaker 1: him like I don't know, a lot of people had 434 00:19:08,228 --> 00:19:10,548 Speaker 1: them winning the division like or you know, like like 435 00:19:10,668 --> 00:19:17,228 Speaker 1: being a contender, right did? The Eagles aren't struggling, they're undefeated. 436 00:19:17,308 --> 00:19:19,348 Speaker 1: But is it too soon to start talking about an 437 00:19:19,508 --> 00:19:23,868 Speaker 1: undefeated season. We'll talk to the hardest working man in America. Next. 438 00:19:24,228 --> 00:19:28,348 Speaker 1: Nate Burlison joins the show, but Kirk Herbstry was joining us. Okay, 439 00:19:41,948 --> 00:19:44,868 Speaker 1: it's now time to welcome back friend of our show, 440 00:19:44,948 --> 00:19:48,628 Speaker 1: a guy that my kids watch every Wednesday slime Time 441 00:19:48,708 --> 00:19:54,388 Speaker 1: on Nickelodeon. Our friend, Nate Burlason he does everything CBS 442 00:19:54,628 --> 00:19:58,268 Speaker 1: NFL Sundays. It's always a joy to have you sitting 443 00:19:58,348 --> 00:20:02,348 Speaker 1: here right here with us at the breakfast tab. Of course, 444 00:20:02,548 --> 00:20:04,988 Speaker 1: what's up, baby? I appreciate you have me on. Good 445 00:20:05,028 --> 00:20:07,348 Speaker 1: to see y'all. Happy Friday. We made it through the week. 446 00:20:07,748 --> 00:20:10,828 Speaker 1: Earlier this week, Kyle said that we want to start 447 00:20:10,908 --> 00:20:13,468 Speaker 1: talking about undefeated seasons, you have to at least get 448 00:20:13,548 --> 00:20:18,228 Speaker 1: to ten wins before that conversation starts. Eagles are rolling 449 00:20:18,348 --> 00:20:20,788 Speaker 1: right now eight and oh, is it too early to 450 00:20:20,828 --> 00:20:22,828 Speaker 1: start that conversation. What do you think, Nate Man, You 451 00:20:22,908 --> 00:20:25,588 Speaker 1: can start that conversation once they were the last undefeated 452 00:20:25,628 --> 00:20:27,188 Speaker 1: team in the NFL. Why do we have to wait 453 00:20:27,308 --> 00:20:29,028 Speaker 1: till they get to ten wins? I mean, look at 454 00:20:29,068 --> 00:20:32,068 Speaker 1: what they're doing. These are convincing victories week in and 455 00:20:32,108 --> 00:20:33,548 Speaker 1: week out, and if you're looking at the rest of 456 00:20:33,588 --> 00:20:35,988 Speaker 1: the schedule, it seems like they're going to continue this streak. 457 00:20:36,068 --> 00:20:38,268 Speaker 1: And they're not just doing it one way or with 458 00:20:38,428 --> 00:20:41,268 Speaker 1: one guy. Jalen Hurtz is playing fantastic a. J. Brown 459 00:20:41,388 --> 00:20:43,748 Speaker 1: is a beast. DeVante Smith can get cooking anytime he 460 00:20:43,828 --> 00:20:45,868 Speaker 1: wants to start going that Mole Sander is doing this 461 00:20:45,908 --> 00:20:49,028 Speaker 1: thing on running back. I haven't even mentioned the defense yet, 462 00:20:49,148 --> 00:20:51,348 Speaker 1: so yes, we can talk about it right now and 463 00:20:51,628 --> 00:20:54,108 Speaker 1: mention the Eagles where they are. Of course, we want 464 00:20:54,148 --> 00:20:56,148 Speaker 1: to wait and see if they can do this in 465 00:20:56,268 --> 00:20:59,628 Speaker 1: November and December, but right now, let's give credit where 466 00:20:59,668 --> 00:21:02,868 Speaker 1: credit is due. They are dominant and still undefeated. Yeah, 467 00:21:02,868 --> 00:21:05,268 Speaker 1: you gotta get credit to them. And listen, Nate, you 468 00:21:05,388 --> 00:21:07,468 Speaker 1: might need a fork and a knife to try to 469 00:21:07,588 --> 00:21:09,708 Speaker 1: digest this thing. I want you to just wrap your 470 00:21:09,748 --> 00:21:14,108 Speaker 1: head around this, Okay, Brady, Yeah, Rogers, Stafford, Burrow, and 471 00:21:14,548 --> 00:21:17,828 Speaker 1: car all of them coming off losses. We're not sure 472 00:21:17,908 --> 00:21:20,148 Speaker 1: what we're figuring about these quarterbacks and these teams. Everything's 473 00:21:20,188 --> 00:21:22,348 Speaker 1: upside down. One of those quarterbacks, though, it's gonna have 474 00:21:22,348 --> 00:21:23,868 Speaker 1: to get a win this week. Which quarterback do you 475 00:21:23,948 --> 00:21:26,828 Speaker 1: think gets that double further season around, I'll go youth 476 00:21:27,028 --> 00:21:30,428 Speaker 1: before age as much as I can appreciate the old heads, 477 00:21:30,468 --> 00:21:32,148 Speaker 1: and I'm not taking a shot at Tom Brady. I'm 478 00:21:32,188 --> 00:21:34,468 Speaker 1: looking at Joe Burrow, and I know everybody's looking at 479 00:21:34,508 --> 00:21:36,228 Speaker 1: the Bengals saying, well, if they don't have Jamar Chase, 480 00:21:36,308 --> 00:21:38,348 Speaker 1: one of the most explosive wild receivers in the game, 481 00:21:38,388 --> 00:21:39,828 Speaker 1: how are they going to continue to do what they 482 00:21:39,908 --> 00:21:41,868 Speaker 1: do on offense, so they have to figure things out. 483 00:21:41,948 --> 00:21:44,228 Speaker 1: They just got the news last week that Jamar Chase 484 00:21:44,388 --> 00:21:46,388 Speaker 1: was going to be out for a handful of weeks. 485 00:21:46,588 --> 00:21:49,108 Speaker 1: Now they'll start to figure out where the offense is. 486 00:21:49,228 --> 00:21:51,308 Speaker 1: They'll lean on their playmakers. They On top of that, 487 00:21:51,348 --> 00:21:53,188 Speaker 1: they have the Carolina Panthers coming up. Now. I know, 488 00:21:53,308 --> 00:21:55,668 Speaker 1: I know the Carolina Panthers played well last week, but 489 00:21:55,828 --> 00:21:58,268 Speaker 1: this is a get right game. So for me, it's 490 00:21:58,308 --> 00:22:01,908 Speaker 1: the Burrow Bengals that are gonna get right after taking 491 00:22:01,988 --> 00:22:04,828 Speaker 1: an ale from the Browns last weekend. Nate years, it 492 00:22:04,988 --> 00:22:08,108 Speaker 1: was baseball and basketball, the trade deadline was such a 493 00:22:08,148 --> 00:22:11,068 Speaker 1: big deal. Now it feels like football is where it's 494 00:22:11,068 --> 00:22:13,068 Speaker 1: at the middle of the World Series, middle of the 495 00:22:13,188 --> 00:22:16,268 Speaker 1: NBA season, and like the NFL owned every headline on 496 00:22:16,348 --> 00:22:18,828 Speaker 1: Tuesday because all the big moves so many ain't with Rope, 497 00:22:18,868 --> 00:22:21,188 Speaker 1: Crown and Chubb and all the other offensive players. What 498 00:22:21,268 --> 00:22:22,908 Speaker 1: do you think stay it out the most? All right, 499 00:22:22,988 --> 00:22:26,668 Speaker 1: hawkas into the Vikings. That's what I wanted to bench it. Yeah, No, Listen, 500 00:22:26,708 --> 00:22:29,628 Speaker 1: they have an offense that's explosive. You got the running 501 00:22:29,668 --> 00:22:32,428 Speaker 1: game that leads them right into this play action offense. 502 00:22:32,708 --> 00:22:35,748 Speaker 1: Of course, Justin Jefferson is a monster. Now you add 503 00:22:35,868 --> 00:22:39,388 Speaker 1: in that type of playmaking tight end, and I gotta 504 00:22:39,428 --> 00:22:42,028 Speaker 1: be honest, I was a little upset that they dealt 505 00:22:42,068 --> 00:22:43,588 Speaker 1: him away from the Lions because I thought he was 506 00:22:43,668 --> 00:22:46,468 Speaker 1: one of those premier tight ends that can be there 507 00:22:46,588 --> 00:22:49,588 Speaker 1: for a decade plus. But now you have Kirk Cousins 508 00:22:49,668 --> 00:22:52,908 Speaker 1: who is willing and dealing this season. He has another tall, 509 00:22:53,148 --> 00:22:56,028 Speaker 1: big frame weapon that he can use in the red zone. Yeah, 510 00:22:56,028 --> 00:22:58,148 Speaker 1: I got Hakas into the Vikings. Okay, ask me the 511 00:22:58,228 --> 00:23:01,348 Speaker 1: next question now, because obviously I'm excited. To me, I 512 00:23:01,428 --> 00:23:04,188 Speaker 1: was getting territorial. I was getting territorial because I wanted 513 00:23:04,188 --> 00:23:07,308 Speaker 1: to ask you this question and hopes that they brought 514 00:23:07,388 --> 00:23:10,588 Speaker 1: up the Minnesota Vikings because that answer that you were 515 00:23:10,748 --> 00:23:12,988 Speaker 1: just about to do a deepev on tied back into 516 00:23:13,068 --> 00:23:15,628 Speaker 1: one that I had during Wayboard Wednesday, which was which 517 00:23:15,988 --> 00:23:17,548 Speaker 1: was your favorite sports trade of all time? And I 518 00:23:17,588 --> 00:23:19,868 Speaker 1: whipped it around to my least, which was KG going 519 00:23:19,948 --> 00:23:22,268 Speaker 1: to Boston because Moss ended up going from the Raiders 520 00:23:22,348 --> 00:23:25,948 Speaker 1: too the Patriots. But back it up again, because your 521 00:23:26,348 --> 00:23:29,388 Speaker 1: Moss take when he left Minnesota the first time, you're 522 00:23:29,388 --> 00:23:32,588 Speaker 1: saying that was your favorite. Yeah, let me back it up, 523 00:23:32,588 --> 00:23:34,948 Speaker 1: flip it and reverse it. I do remember kg big 524 00:23:34,988 --> 00:23:41,348 Speaker 1: ticket going to the Celtics, which was crazy. Anything's anything's possible. 525 00:23:41,588 --> 00:23:43,788 Speaker 1: You know what was possible Randy Moss to play for 526 00:23:43,828 --> 00:23:46,508 Speaker 1: the New England Patriots. And for so many reasons, I 527 00:23:46,548 --> 00:23:48,748 Speaker 1: don't think we necessarily thought this was going to work. 528 00:23:49,068 --> 00:23:51,428 Speaker 1: One because, like I said, there weren't whispers that Moss 529 00:23:51,548 --> 00:23:53,548 Speaker 1: just doesn't have it anymore. And then you remember how 530 00:23:53,628 --> 00:23:56,268 Speaker 1: many guys would go to the Patriots and offensive players 531 00:23:56,308 --> 00:23:58,708 Speaker 1: would say, well, the system is just too much, it's 532 00:23:58,748 --> 00:24:01,868 Speaker 1: too complicated. We've seen some veteran wide receivers and they 533 00:24:01,948 --> 00:24:04,948 Speaker 1: just can't hold on and grasp that offense. And then 534 00:24:05,028 --> 00:24:08,348 Speaker 1: Randy Moss, who has a high IQ when it comes 535 00:24:08,388 --> 00:24:11,468 Speaker 1: to offensive football, is a beautiful football mine went out 536 00:24:11,548 --> 00:24:15,148 Speaker 1: there and was flawless in this system. The only thing 537 00:24:15,268 --> 00:24:17,148 Speaker 1: that bothered me is that we couldn't see it for 538 00:24:17,308 --> 00:24:20,708 Speaker 1: years to come. It just ended abruptly. But I loved 539 00:24:20,748 --> 00:24:24,788 Speaker 1: it because it reminded us how great Randy was. And 540 00:24:24,868 --> 00:24:26,548 Speaker 1: just think about that, we had Randy Moss, one of 541 00:24:26,588 --> 00:24:28,348 Speaker 1: the greatest wide receivers of all time, one of the 542 00:24:28,468 --> 00:24:31,908 Speaker 1: most explosive. Literally, his nickname was the Freak getting ballstone 543 00:24:31,988 --> 00:24:34,868 Speaker 1: to him by Tom Brady the Goat like it was 544 00:24:34,948 --> 00:24:37,388 Speaker 1: just a moment in time. If we really break it down, 545 00:24:37,508 --> 00:24:39,788 Speaker 1: I don't think we appreciate it as much as we should. 546 00:24:39,868 --> 00:24:41,708 Speaker 1: But that was one of my favorite traits. And on 547 00:24:41,828 --> 00:24:43,868 Speaker 1: top of that, they had a great season and they 548 00:24:43,908 --> 00:24:46,628 Speaker 1: should have won a super Bowl. Talking about undefeated teams, 549 00:24:46,788 --> 00:24:48,948 Speaker 1: they should have won a super Bowl would have would 550 00:24:48,948 --> 00:24:51,908 Speaker 1: have really solidified Randy Moss's career. And I know Seano 551 00:24:51,948 --> 00:24:53,828 Speaker 1: Hairy has something to say about that. It was such 552 00:24:53,868 --> 00:24:57,108 Speaker 1: a good yearn right, it was phenomenal. It was so good. 553 00:24:57,188 --> 00:24:59,708 Speaker 1: It was awesome watching Randy do his thing during the 554 00:24:59,748 --> 00:25:02,348 Speaker 1: regular season and they get shut down in the super Bowl. 555 00:25:03,268 --> 00:25:07,988 Speaker 1: That's right, got out great him, fid as you were saying, 556 00:25:08,668 --> 00:25:10,708 Speaker 1: reverse it, get your freak call on. I see you, 557 00:25:10,788 --> 00:25:17,588 Speaker 1: Missie always. You are a pleasure. Thank you for taking 558 00:25:17,668 --> 00:25:20,348 Speaker 1: the time to come hang out with us. Appreciate your Nate, 559 00:25:20,468 --> 00:25:22,508 Speaker 1: keep doing your thing. All right, y'all, have a good week, 560 00:25:22,508 --> 00:25:25,628 Speaker 1: and all right supper Mad Minute Park two. Week nine 561 00:25:25,628 --> 00:25:28,148 Speaker 1: officially kicked off last night, and we've got a great 562 00:25:28,188 --> 00:25:31,348 Speaker 1: slate of games coming to us this Sunday. We've deemed 563 00:25:31,348 --> 00:25:34,468 Speaker 1: it identity Find Your Identity Week, So let's break down 564 00:25:34,588 --> 00:25:37,188 Speaker 1: more of some of these matchups. We're gonna head to 565 00:25:37,668 --> 00:25:40,668 Speaker 1: our own backyard. Firshman AFC showdown between the Bills and 566 00:25:40,748 --> 00:25:43,588 Speaker 1: the Jets. Something to look forward to in this game, Peter. 567 00:25:43,748 --> 00:25:46,108 Speaker 1: There's so much hype going into that Patriots game, and 568 00:25:46,228 --> 00:25:48,468 Speaker 1: so much optimism and so much hope, and then this 569 00:25:48,588 --> 00:25:51,028 Speaker 1: week around Jets fans, it feels like it's dooming bloom 570 00:25:51,068 --> 00:25:52,708 Speaker 1: again and it's right back to where we were the 571 00:25:52,788 --> 00:25:55,148 Speaker 1: last few years in this city. Zach Wilson has not 572 00:25:55,228 --> 00:25:57,548 Speaker 1: looked great. Zach Wilson has been getting by with good 573 00:25:57,868 --> 00:26:00,428 Speaker 1: good offensive help and good defense and great offensive line play. 574 00:26:00,588 --> 00:26:02,668 Speaker 1: This week he's going up against Josh Allen and it 575 00:26:02,708 --> 00:26:04,108 Speaker 1: won't be the first time he's gonna have to face 576 00:26:04,188 --> 00:26:06,148 Speaker 1: Jawn and it won't be the last. Don't go out 577 00:26:06,148 --> 00:26:09,548 Speaker 1: there and lay another egg. I'm fearful that Zach Wilson's 578 00:26:09,548 --> 00:26:10,788 Speaker 1: not going to play the game and we're gonna be 579 00:26:10,788 --> 00:26:12,828 Speaker 1: doing quarterback controversy talk and maybe the Jets have to 580 00:26:12,868 --> 00:26:14,068 Speaker 1: look at the draft again. I don't want to go 581 00:26:14,108 --> 00:26:16,868 Speaker 1: down that road yet, don't Zach Wilson, gotta play better 582 00:26:16,908 --> 00:26:19,868 Speaker 1: than you did last week. Stefan Diggs, Sauce Gardner, I 583 00:26:19,988 --> 00:26:21,668 Speaker 1: want to see that. As a dB, you want to 584 00:26:21,668 --> 00:26:24,028 Speaker 1: see the best on the best, and these guys have 585 00:26:24,148 --> 00:26:26,428 Speaker 1: been two of the best in the NFL this season. 586 00:26:26,548 --> 00:26:28,948 Speaker 1: I want to see what Sauce has going against, not 587 00:26:29,108 --> 00:26:32,028 Speaker 1: only Stefan Diggs, but a quarterback like Josh Allen. You know, 588 00:26:32,108 --> 00:26:34,668 Speaker 1: if the targets are coming, you have to make plays. 589 00:26:34,668 --> 00:26:37,188 Speaker 1: I'm going to be watching this matchup all day long. Yeah, 590 00:26:37,268 --> 00:26:39,548 Speaker 1: let's keeps going out of MetLife right across the river 591 00:26:39,628 --> 00:26:42,028 Speaker 1: for a musa. I'm looking at this defense, all right, Salo, 592 00:26:42,268 --> 00:26:45,268 Speaker 1: Look you were hired to bringing your charisma, your energy, 593 00:26:45,468 --> 00:26:47,788 Speaker 1: your scheme. This is the best passing offensive the league 594 00:26:47,868 --> 00:26:49,508 Speaker 1: right now? All right? How does this defense not just 595 00:26:49,588 --> 00:26:51,228 Speaker 1: Sauce Gardner, but how does this defense as a whole. 596 00:26:51,228 --> 00:26:53,188 Speaker 1: How do they measure up against the NFL's best Right now? 597 00:26:53,708 --> 00:26:56,108 Speaker 1: Speaking of one of the NFL's best, the fight games 598 00:26:56,108 --> 00:26:58,868 Speaker 1: and Kirk Cousins he takes on his former team when 599 00:26:58,908 --> 00:27:01,428 Speaker 1: Minnesota heads to Washington to face off against the Commander 600 00:27:01,508 --> 00:27:03,108 Speaker 1: is something to look forward to in this game. Peter 601 00:27:03,428 --> 00:27:06,628 Speaker 1: and the Commanders are one in four. You've got investigations 602 00:27:06,828 --> 00:27:08,828 Speaker 1: into the team, you've got a team that might be 603 00:27:08,868 --> 00:27:11,428 Speaker 1: getting sold, you've got a dumpster fire on the way. 604 00:27:11,468 --> 00:27:12,748 Speaker 1: And then they went out in the football teams like 605 00:27:12,748 --> 00:27:14,428 Speaker 1: we got games to play, and they've won three straight games. 606 00:27:14,548 --> 00:27:16,468 Speaker 1: Ron Rivera is dealing with a tragedy. He lost his 607 00:27:16,548 --> 00:27:18,788 Speaker 1: mother this week. I think this team loves their head coach. 608 00:27:18,868 --> 00:27:20,468 Speaker 1: I think this team loves each other, and I think 609 00:27:20,548 --> 00:27:23,668 Speaker 1: Heinik might be the answer. Three straight wins amidst what 610 00:27:23,748 --> 00:27:25,868 Speaker 1: could have been a dumpster fire. It's a lot to 611 00:27:25,988 --> 00:27:28,148 Speaker 1: like about the players on this Commander's team. Say it again, 612 00:27:28,228 --> 00:27:30,828 Speaker 1: Taylor Heineck. Every time he starts and they win the 613 00:27:30,868 --> 00:27:33,428 Speaker 1: football game, he gets a bonus. And what he does 614 00:27:33,468 --> 00:27:36,148 Speaker 1: with that bonus he goes out and buys a pair 615 00:27:36,188 --> 00:27:39,708 Speaker 1: of Jordan's of the opposing team's colors. I'm looking forward 616 00:27:39,748 --> 00:27:41,348 Speaker 1: to see if he can do that this week and 617 00:27:41,428 --> 00:27:43,708 Speaker 1: go get him some Purple Jays. But in order to 618 00:27:43,788 --> 00:27:45,948 Speaker 1: do so, he's gonna have to avoid Zadarius Smith, who 619 00:27:46,068 --> 00:27:48,148 Speaker 1: is leading the league in sax right now eight and 620 00:27:48,148 --> 00:27:50,468 Speaker 1: a half. Yeah, Zadarius Smith has been a monster and 621 00:27:50,588 --> 00:27:53,548 Speaker 1: he's getting half quarterbacks. He is ads advertising Daniel Hunter 622 00:27:53,588 --> 00:27:55,468 Speaker 1: a good one two bunch. You mentioned the loss of 623 00:27:55,548 --> 00:27:58,908 Speaker 1: Ron Rivera's mother and then obviously Mike Zimmer losing his 624 00:27:59,028 --> 00:28:01,508 Speaker 1: son Adam as well, So they're definitely gonna be some 625 00:28:01,588 --> 00:28:03,828 Speaker 1: somber moments during that game. But when you look at 626 00:28:04,108 --> 00:28:06,868 Speaker 1: the writer, Dalvin Cooke is taking things over right now. 627 00:28:06,908 --> 00:28:09,428 Speaker 1: So I'm looking at Dalvin. Jason's trying to find himself 628 00:28:09,468 --> 00:28:13,268 Speaker 1: an invite into Taylor Haddekey's shoe closet. I think he's gay. 629 00:28:13,348 --> 00:28:15,908 Speaker 1: You do you respect it? The Battle of Birds and 630 00:28:15,948 --> 00:28:18,308 Speaker 1: the NFC West goes down in Arizona and the Cardinals 631 00:28:18,428 --> 00:28:22,548 Speaker 1: take on the Seahawks at home. Intrigue about this game, Sean, 632 00:28:22,588 --> 00:28:24,428 Speaker 1: what would you put your finger on? I'm very intrigued. 633 00:28:24,548 --> 00:28:26,028 Speaker 1: And when you look at the matchup, like who would 634 00:28:26,028 --> 00:28:27,828 Speaker 1: have thought the Seahawks would be first in the NFC 635 00:28:27,988 --> 00:28:30,348 Speaker 1: West right now and going down to Arizona who they 636 00:28:30,388 --> 00:28:33,668 Speaker 1: already beat before. And when I look at this Seahawks offense, 637 00:28:33,868 --> 00:28:35,588 Speaker 1: Dk Mecca, I want to talk aboud receivers for was like, 638 00:28:35,628 --> 00:28:37,228 Speaker 1: did get micoff? Is the guy you want coming off 639 00:28:37,268 --> 00:28:39,308 Speaker 1: the bus first? Right? Like? I mean, he's the guy 640 00:28:39,348 --> 00:28:41,308 Speaker 1: you want to brit to see first, but it's Tyler Lockett. 641 00:28:41,388 --> 00:28:43,428 Speaker 1: This the one under the hood driving the engine. So 642 00:28:43,668 --> 00:28:46,108 Speaker 1: I think Tyler Lockett has another big game. Gino Smith 643 00:28:46,148 --> 00:28:48,308 Speaker 1: has been balling out. It's phenomenal what he's doing week 644 00:28:48,348 --> 00:28:50,308 Speaker 1: in and week out. You know, the Seahawks are seven 645 00:28:50,388 --> 00:28:52,628 Speaker 1: one on one in their last nine trips to Arizona, 646 00:28:52,668 --> 00:28:54,828 Speaker 1: and they're underdogs in this game. Despite being way better 647 00:28:54,908 --> 00:28:56,988 Speaker 1: in the standings everything. People still believe in the Cardinals. 648 00:28:57,068 --> 00:28:59,108 Speaker 1: I'm not sure what they're looking at. To me, Seattle 649 00:28:59,228 --> 00:29:01,148 Speaker 1: is a locomotive right now, and I cannot wait to 650 00:29:01,188 --> 00:29:03,308 Speaker 1: see this team in Munich next week. But they're really 651 00:29:03,348 --> 00:29:05,148 Speaker 1: a lot more fun to talk about off of verra Win. 652 00:29:05,268 --> 00:29:07,108 Speaker 1: Let's see how they do here. This rookie class with 653 00:29:07,148 --> 00:29:09,588 Speaker 1: obviously Walker, the two tackles, and the two defensive players 654 00:29:09,628 --> 00:29:11,308 Speaker 1: in the backfield. I think the Seaks should be favored. 655 00:29:11,308 --> 00:29:12,788 Speaker 1: I don't think they lose this game. Yeah, you're right 656 00:29:12,828 --> 00:29:15,868 Speaker 1: about those rookies, Tarik Will and Kenneth Walker both Rookies 657 00:29:15,948 --> 00:29:18,468 Speaker 1: of the Month offense and defense respectively. But I want 658 00:29:18,468 --> 00:29:20,868 Speaker 1: to see a little bit DeAndre Hawkins's two games back 659 00:29:21,028 --> 00:29:23,868 Speaker 1: over tink catches over one hundred yards had the beautiful 660 00:29:23,948 --> 00:29:26,148 Speaker 1: one hand, left handed touchdown catch. I want to see 661 00:29:26,148 --> 00:29:28,788 Speaker 1: if he continues that obviously matched up with Tarik Wooland 662 00:29:28,788 --> 00:29:30,668 Speaker 1: on the other side, Carnals need to spark at home. 663 00:29:30,828 --> 00:29:34,228 Speaker 1: They have trailed at halftime in seven games this season. 664 00:29:34,788 --> 00:29:37,628 Speaker 1: Get on the board early. Matthew Stafford takes on Tom 665 00:29:37,708 --> 00:29:40,428 Speaker 1: Brady when the Rams trek to Tampa Bay to battle 666 00:29:40,468 --> 00:29:42,388 Speaker 1: it out against the Buccaneers. What are we looking for 667 00:29:42,468 --> 00:29:44,068 Speaker 1: in this matchup? Peter talked about it. I want to 668 00:29:44,068 --> 00:29:46,108 Speaker 1: see which team responds. I mean, this is so so 669 00:29:46,548 --> 00:29:49,668 Speaker 1: unlikely that we're talking about these two squads just looking terrible. 670 00:29:49,748 --> 00:29:51,308 Speaker 1: Look at the records in this one, three and four 671 00:29:51,348 --> 00:29:52,908 Speaker 1: and three and five. We're talking about two teams that 672 00:29:52,948 --> 00:29:54,908 Speaker 1: played in one of the best playoff games in recent memory. 673 00:29:54,988 --> 00:29:56,748 Speaker 1: I'm looking at Brady. I know a lot's going on 674 00:29:56,828 --> 00:29:58,428 Speaker 1: in the house. I know a lot's going on in 675 00:29:58,508 --> 00:30:00,348 Speaker 1: his personal life. But I also know that that team 676 00:30:00,388 --> 00:30:02,308 Speaker 1: around him has not lifted him up at all. They 677 00:30:02,348 --> 00:30:04,308 Speaker 1: have not done him in any favors. Can he still motivate? 678 00:30:04,388 --> 00:30:05,548 Speaker 1: Can he still get these guys and can we get 679 00:30:05,548 --> 00:30:06,988 Speaker 1: some of those veteran players who maybe do him a 680 00:30:06,988 --> 00:30:08,868 Speaker 1: favor and start playing the best of their abilities. Yeah, 681 00:30:08,868 --> 00:30:10,868 Speaker 1: I love that you said that. Teammates, everybody has to 682 00:30:10,908 --> 00:30:13,468 Speaker 1: pick each other up. And I'm looking at these guys 683 00:30:13,548 --> 00:30:15,628 Speaker 1: on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to lift up their coach 684 00:30:15,708 --> 00:30:17,948 Speaker 1: because Toad Bowls is a defensive coach. And yes, we 685 00:30:18,028 --> 00:30:20,428 Speaker 1: talked about Devin White and all the scrutiny that he's getting, 686 00:30:20,588 --> 00:30:22,508 Speaker 1: but they gave up two hundred yards rushing in the 687 00:30:22,588 --> 00:30:25,228 Speaker 1: second half. Or the head coach who has a defensive mind, 688 00:30:25,308 --> 00:30:27,548 Speaker 1: So how do they respond? Where's the pride that are 689 00:30:27,588 --> 00:30:28,948 Speaker 1: they going to go out there and try to shut 690 00:30:29,028 --> 00:30:30,868 Speaker 1: this rams team down to be able to get a win. 691 00:30:30,988 --> 00:30:32,388 Speaker 1: Coming into this game, you would have thought, hey, this 692 00:30:32,428 --> 00:30:34,988 Speaker 1: is the rematchup the playoffs got teams from last year, 693 00:30:35,068 --> 00:30:37,188 Speaker 1: or this is a preview of the NFC champish game 694 00:30:37,228 --> 00:30:39,188 Speaker 1: coming up. I don't think anybody's talking about that right now. Like, 695 00:30:39,228 --> 00:30:40,308 Speaker 1: you know, what I want to see in this game. 696 00:30:40,308 --> 00:30:42,028 Speaker 1: I want to see some good football. Tired to seeing 697 00:30:42,108 --> 00:30:44,308 Speaker 1: sloppy ball for the defending Super Bowl champs. I'm tired 698 00:30:44,348 --> 00:30:46,028 Speaker 1: of seeing the slopping this by the Bucks. You guys 699 00:30:46,068 --> 00:30:48,468 Speaker 1: are better than that. Show up. Oh man, that's a 700 00:30:48,548 --> 00:30:51,868 Speaker 1: pep talking from Shan O'Hara bringing that energy to Sunday 701 00:30:51,948 --> 00:30:54,588 Speaker 1: night football. Because this is a top tier matchup with 702 00:30:54,668 --> 00:30:57,868 Speaker 1: the Titans heading to Arrowhead to take on the Chiefs quarterback. 703 00:30:57,908 --> 00:30:59,668 Speaker 1: We're not sure for the Tennessee Titans. What else do 704 00:30:59,708 --> 00:31:01,228 Speaker 1: we look for in this game? Jack? Yeah, I want 705 00:31:01,228 --> 00:31:02,988 Speaker 1: to see Derek Henry. You're right, we don't know who 706 00:31:03,028 --> 00:31:05,228 Speaker 1: the quarterback is gonna be, King Henry as they call 707 00:31:05,348 --> 00:31:07,788 Speaker 1: him down in Nashville. They're head into owl Head and 708 00:31:07,988 --> 00:31:10,868 Speaker 1: Peter mentioned earlier they've played well against his Chiefs team 709 00:31:10,988 --> 00:31:12,668 Speaker 1: and it's gonna be two different types of teams. So 710 00:31:12,788 --> 00:31:14,908 Speaker 1: can Derek Henry put the team on his bat? Put 711 00:31:14,988 --> 00:31:17,068 Speaker 1: them on your back, doll, and see can you carry 712 00:31:17,148 --> 00:31:19,708 Speaker 1: them to a victory down in an Oarlhead. I'm watching 713 00:31:19,868 --> 00:31:23,308 Speaker 1: Chris Jones upfront. Anytime you got that guy on the 714 00:31:23,388 --> 00:31:25,388 Speaker 1: other side, Chris Jones has got to have a big game. 715 00:31:25,428 --> 00:31:28,268 Speaker 1: You mentioned Nick Bolton on the second level, but Chris Jones. 716 00:31:28,268 --> 00:31:29,668 Speaker 1: They're gonna try to move them all around. I know 717 00:31:29,708 --> 00:31:31,508 Speaker 1: Spags likes to try to go with different schemes and 718 00:31:31,548 --> 00:31:34,108 Speaker 1: different ways. I've got my eyes on stone cold Chris Jones. 719 00:31:34,148 --> 00:31:36,068 Speaker 1: I mentioned the young Man earlier in the show. I'm 720 00:31:36,108 --> 00:31:38,388 Speaker 1: excited to see what the Chiefs do with Cadarius Tony. 721 00:31:38,508 --> 00:31:40,708 Speaker 1: Here's a guy with a Conna skills, a ton ability, 722 00:31:40,788 --> 00:31:42,828 Speaker 1: did not fulfill that with the Giants, did not get 723 00:31:42,868 --> 00:31:44,548 Speaker 1: on the field enough to do that. He has zero 724 00:31:44,628 --> 00:31:47,468 Speaker 1: receiving yards this season. I think there's a package Pricadarius Tony. 725 00:31:47,508 --> 00:31:49,988 Speaker 1: I think the Young Joker might be playing on special teams, 726 00:31:50,268 --> 00:31:52,308 Speaker 1: might be doing something in the return game. Indy Reid 727 00:31:52,428 --> 00:31:54,468 Speaker 1: is away with some guys that don't work out elsewhere. 728 00:31:54,508 --> 00:31:56,468 Speaker 1: Put them on my roster. We'll figure things out. Let's 729 00:31:56,468 --> 00:31:58,668 Speaker 1: see if young Joker can do. I love the way 730 00:31:58,708 --> 00:32:00,388 Speaker 1: to say that. The interesting thing with that is if 731 00:32:00,428 --> 00:32:02,068 Speaker 1: you if you put him back to return, now you 732 00:32:02,108 --> 00:32:03,668 Speaker 1: got to take the checko off. You don't want to 733 00:32:03,708 --> 00:32:05,988 Speaker 1: take a scarl and to feel it's good prom the 734 00:32:06,108 --> 00:32:08,348 Speaker 1: better it is heter you and Andy Reid have something 735 00:32:08,428 --> 00:32:11,708 Speaker 1: really interesting in common. I'm realizing, Wardrobe, No, it's that 736 00:32:12,028 --> 00:32:15,988 Speaker 1: really really just refresh humans after vacation. Andy Reid is 737 00:32:16,028 --> 00:32:18,508 Speaker 1: twenty and three in his career. After a bite, We're 738 00:32:18,508 --> 00:32:20,628 Speaker 1: going on vacation anytime soon.
