Speaker 1: Predictably.
Speaker 2: You know, I had to get into some NFL talk
Speaker 2: because there's a lot of NFL action that took place
Speaker 2: this weekend. And who better to get into it with
Speaker 2: than my man, the one and only Chris Carter only
Speaker 2: did was catch touchdowns, the Hall of Fame wide receiver.
Speaker 1: What's going on, big time? How are you man? How's
Speaker 1: everything all good?
Speaker 3: Bron How you doing? You got your studious time.
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna bring up or I'm not gonna bring
Speaker 2: up Ohio State because I want to wait till next week.
Speaker 2: They don't play until next Monday, so I'm just gonna
Speaker 2: I'm gonna wait to press you about that. I know
Speaker 2: you're feeling it. I know you're feeling it right now.
Speaker 1: And that's cool. Let's see what they do, all right.
Speaker 2: But we'll get into that another time and we'll get
Speaker 2: into Minnesota your vikings in the NFL in just a
Speaker 2: few minutes.
Speaker 1: But first things first.
Speaker 2: Talk to me about what you saw this weekend and
Speaker 2: what has you most excited about these playoffs?
Speaker 3: Man? Just the overall physicality, and I do believe it.
Speaker 3: It's wide open, like the margin between who's gonna be
Speaker 3: the best and a team like Washington. The Commanders with
Speaker 3: Jade and Daniels like that margin. It is really fin
Speaker 3: better than we've seen in years. So is Philadelphia talented, yes,
Speaker 3: but a number of injuries and some other issues. Detroit
Speaker 3: are they talented? Yes? Kansas City, who will we see
Speaker 3: in the playoffs? We know decisive home field advantage. I
Speaker 3: heard Taylor Swift is at least going to be at
Speaker 3: the divisional rounds, so they're almost undefeated with her in attendance.
Speaker 3: So there's so much. It's such a great storyline, but
Speaker 3: none of it you can predict.
Speaker 2: Did you find yourself disappointed in the Philadelphia Eagles yesterday?
Speaker 1: Offensively?
Speaker 3: That is?
Speaker 1: Did you find yourself disappointed in what you saw against
Speaker 1: Green Bay?
Speaker 3: Well, I'm not going to say disappointed, but I was
Speaker 3: concerned when you missed two or three weeks of practice
Speaker 3: coming down the stretch and you don't have that continuity
Speaker 3: and they have had times where their passing games has
Speaker 3: been average to bad. So now you missed that time.
Speaker 3: And this is not something that you know. Jayden is
Speaker 3: not a natural throw of the football of like the
Speaker 3: great quarterbacks that we've had plays in the NFL now
Speaker 3: and the ones of the path. So when you missed
Speaker 3: two weeks of practice time because of getcussion, you're not
Speaker 3: in your normal schedule. Yes, I could see their passing
Speaker 3: game being all especially with the inconsistent way their passing
Speaker 3: game was during the regular season.
Speaker 2: What did you think about AJ Brown being seen on
Speaker 2: the sidelines with reading the book.
Speaker 1: What did you think about that? I mean it was
Speaker 1: a motivation.
Speaker 2: I thought he was doing it to keep his cool
Speaker 2: because he was so disgusted about being talking to just
Speaker 2: three times to catch you one pass but ten yards.
Speaker 2: I think I think he's just meditated trying to keep
Speaker 2: himself cool. But what did you make of all of that?
Speaker 3: Very very wide receiver Ish and AJ Brown. The more
Speaker 3: he plays, the more diva wise of things the receiver,
Speaker 3: things that he starts to add to his repertoire. You know,
Speaker 3: he is a great player, but I do believe there
Speaker 3: are a number of issues he personally has with the quarterback.
Speaker 3: And when you open up a book like that compared
Speaker 3: to opening up a conversation and communicating, that's just another
Speaker 3: sign that what they have in Philadelphia it should be
Speaker 3: very very.
Speaker 2: Frag I know you've seen some great things over their
Speaker 2: careers thus far. In Jordan Love's case in the regular season,
Speaker 2: in the postseason, and Justin Herbert just a regular season.
Speaker 1: But what are you to make of what you saw
Speaker 1: of their performances this weekend?
Speaker 2: I mean, Jordan Loved three interceptions, Justin Herbert four in exceptions.
Speaker 2: He threw three interceptions the entire regular season, and through
Speaker 2: four interceptions over thirty two and thirty two pass attempts yesterday.
Speaker 2: I mean, you know, Saday, what the hell is going
Speaker 2: on with them?
Speaker 3: On and off the field? Man, You are judged based
Speaker 3: on what do you do under the worst of conditions,
Speaker 3: Like how do you respond and when you have the
Speaker 3: responsibility of taking care of that football and you throw
Speaker 3: the football in arms way now, and Jordan's Love has
Speaker 3: done this more and so than Herbert. But when you
Speaker 3: have the worst game of your career statistically, you know
Speaker 3: all these things, they should be criticized, Like we criticize
Speaker 3: the quarterbacks a lot in the playoffs because they're the
Speaker 3: only player touching the ball all the time. Now, yet
Speaker 3: can that be aided by injuries? Can that be aided
Speaker 3: by drop passes? Yes? But when we give them all
Speaker 3: the credit because we give them a big contract, we
Speaker 3: should be criticized in these two quarterbacks. You know Jim
Speaker 3: Harball is not expecting that from his quarterback. Uber talented,
Speaker 3: the way he is conservative, the way Harball is that
Speaker 3: is not a championship match right there. I do expect
Speaker 3: him to match now to repair that next season, because
Speaker 3: he had a great regular season only throwing three interceptions
Speaker 3: or yesterday. But Jordan Love, he is more of a
Speaker 3: gamble like he's going to throw the ball in arms,
Speaker 3: way more so than the other quarterbacks compared. I believe
Speaker 3: in protecting the football. When you protect the football, you
Speaker 3: protect the franchise, protect the franchise, you protect my job.
Speaker 2: When you saw Buffalo blow out Denver in the second
Speaker 2: half and you saw Baltimore blow out the Steelers in
Speaker 2: the first half, don't get me started with that. I
Speaker 2: came into the weekend thinking Buffalo is gonna take Baltimore
Speaker 2: out when they meet in a divisional playoff round. Now
Speaker 2: I'm not so sure. Based on me watching Buffalo, I
Speaker 2: know they want. They had a strong second halbit. You
Speaker 2: get the Redison five times, only convert once. I think
Speaker 2: you need more. You gotta have forty one to eighteen
Speaker 2: advantage and time of possession. That's not gonna happen against
Speaker 2: Baltimore next week. How are you feeling about that encounter
Speaker 2: that's coming up?
Speaker 3: Oh, this is an epic battle right here. I mean,
Speaker 3: guess all the pressure is on these quarterbacks, not only
Speaker 3: the franchises, but on these quarterbacks to build how far
Speaker 3: can they advance in the Patrick Mahomes era? And who's
Speaker 3: gonna be abd knock Patrick Mahomes off off the throne.
Speaker 3: But there's a tremendous amount of pressure, man deump. I
Speaker 3: mean this Geame, though, is I can't believe we're debating
Speaker 3: over the MVP because the way that Baltimore has played
Speaker 3: as a team, where would they be without Lamar Jackson?
Speaker 3: I mean, when you have the type of numbers that
Speaker 3: these has, these thirteen more touchdowns than Josh Allen, four
Speaker 3: hundred more yards, I get that sect.
Speaker 2: Let me interrupt, Let me interrupt, Let me interrupt, And
Speaker 2: I'm gonna tell you why. I'm gonna tell you why.
Speaker 2: It's debatable, all right, because even with Lamar Jackson's great numbers,
Speaker 2: you came into the season with expectations for him in Baltimore.
Speaker 2: Light of the fact that you're still Baltimore. You acquired
Speaker 2: Derek Henry. In Buffalo's case, there's no Stefan Diggs, there's
Speaker 2: no Gave Davis, and you look at him losing his
Speaker 2: two primary weapons, and plus McDermott was on a hot
Speaker 2: seat and wholesale changes were made on.
Speaker 1: The defensive side of the ball.
Speaker 2: A lot of people didn't expect Buffalo to have a
Speaker 2: great season, let alone be the number two overall seed.
Speaker 1: That would be the reason for the debate.
Speaker 3: SEC Okay, no problem, we can have that conversation. But
Speaker 3: let me tell you something. He didn't play better than
Speaker 3: me every year we got circumstances. I've been MVP twice.
Speaker 3: I'm having an epic season, not only based on my standards,
Speaker 3: but based on NFL standards. But he still didn't play
Speaker 3: better than me. This is like the great quarterbacks, Aaron
Speaker 3: Rodgers them. They have put the standard so high and
Speaker 3: then someone comes maybe close to it, and we're like, oh,
Speaker 3: he's the MVP, But he didn't play better than Lamar.
Speaker 3: Lamar had the best season. Did he have a surprising season, Yes,
Speaker 3: Now that's a different conversation. But did he have the
Speaker 3: MVP best season of any quarterback? No, he did not,
Speaker 3: So that will be the conversation that I will continue
Speaker 3: expectations based on know what actually happened. So now we're
Speaker 3: giving him MVP because we didn't have expectations. Joe Burrow
Speaker 3: had an MVP type season final season, but we're not
Speaker 3: giving him the MVP.
Speaker 2: No, that's because they're not they But no matter you're
Speaker 2: your argument is profound. I gotta give it to you.
Speaker 2: Right about Lamar Jackson, You're right about Lamar Jackson. Let's
Speaker 2: stay with Baltimore and Pittsburgh in this regard. Now that
Speaker 2: Pittsburgh has lost Mike Tomlin hasn't won a playoff game
Speaker 2: since twenty and sixteen. Uh, they're one and done at
Speaker 2: least five times. You know, you got people speculating about
Speaker 2: a lot of different things. The Steelers obviously ain't gonna
Speaker 2: make changes. They don't fire coaches. They've never fired a coach.
Speaker 2: What are your thoughts about Mike Tomlin six straight postseason losses?
Speaker 2: And by the way, I mean, you know, they just
Speaker 2: don't score as well when you consider what's been transpiring.
Speaker 2: What do you do if you're the Pittsburgh Steelers when
Speaker 2: it comes to Mike Tomlin.
Speaker 3: CC in the modern salary camp era, the Pittsburgh Steelers
Speaker 3: system does not work. Bro. Like, you cannot say I'm
Speaker 3: not gonna participate in free agency all the money that
Speaker 3: you're making as a family. Your philosophy is obsolete. Oh,
Speaker 3: I'm gonna only sign a couple of the players that
Speaker 3: I draft to their second or third contract. See, Mike
Speaker 3: Tomlin's been battling that. No one even talks about that ever.
Speaker 3: Of the economics of it. I mean, he is at
Speaker 3: a decisive disadvantage than people like Baltimore, Kansas City. Like,
Speaker 3: these people are spending bread man to get guys that
Speaker 3: come play for their team. All right. Not only do
Speaker 3: they have a franchise quarterback, they got people. I mean
Speaker 3: they are going out of their way to make them
Speaker 3: highest paid at their position. Man, So you know how
Speaker 3: many concessions do you want players to make to come
Speaker 3: to Pittsburgh where I can go somewhere else and get paid.
Speaker 3: So we're gonna start talking about Mike Tomlin, and we're
Speaker 3: gonna start talking about it in the right name. This
Speaker 3: should really be about, man, is he limited there in Pittsburgh?
Speaker 3: Would he be a better coach somewhere else where? They
Speaker 3: were spending up to the coward recap and they were
Speaker 3: participating free agency. And also imagine Mike Tomlin recruitment. Now
Speaker 3: he can get the kind of dudes that he wants
Speaker 3: to get. Oh, now that's a different conversation. So Pittsburgh,
Speaker 3: be careful, don't step on yourself because you run a
Speaker 3: program that Mike Tomlin's familiar with, and that program can
Speaker 3: only get you first round, a divisional round, maybe in
Speaker 3: the second round, but it is not going to get
Speaker 3: you with the elite teams because everyone is spending money.
Speaker 2: Now, Chicago's in the market for head coach New Orleans, the.
Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys, Mike McCarthy, he's gone.
Speaker 2: He's going now because him and and Jerry Jones couldn't
Speaker 2: reach an accord on a contract extension. What would be
Speaker 2: the best place for Mike Tomlin. And who should want
Speaker 2: Mike Tomlin more than anybody?
Speaker 3: Well, Mike Tomlin going to Chicago as a game changer.
Speaker 3: Not only are you going to get the benefit of
Speaker 3: what he coaches on the defensive side, but you you
Speaker 3: got a sure superstar and cayleb Win at the quarterback.
Speaker 3: And I can guarantee you when Mike Tomlin gets him
Speaker 3: a quarterback, just like when he had with Ben Roethlisberger,
Speaker 3: even though they weren't spending up to the cap like
Speaker 3: other teams. The Chicago Bears are ready for a quick
Speaker 3: turnaround if they don't get Mike Tomlin, get someone like
Speaker 3: Ben Johnson, someone that can affect that offense. I mean
Speaker 3: way Ben Johnson calls slave, he's the I remember when
Speaker 3: Mike Mark used to call the plays, and with the Rams,
Speaker 3: I'm like, my god, I've never seen that play before.
Speaker 3: I mean, the way they throw the ball, the way
Speaker 3: they attack the defense. So I do believe Mike Tomlin
Speaker 3: would be a great fitting in Chicago. I believe Mike
Speaker 3: Tomlin would be a great fit with the Dallas Calgarys.
Speaker 3: Why because he understands hierarchy. And I do believe that
Speaker 3: Jerry Jones having someone like Mike Tomlin, he wouldn't give
Speaker 3: away some of that power because he knows there's no redeal.
Speaker 3: Mike Tomlin's ready to go now. And I'm sure man
Speaker 3: that locker room would respond to Mike Tomlin being named.
Speaker 3: So Chicago Bears, Dallas Cowboys, I mean, any team that's
Speaker 3: got aspirations of trying to get their team in the
Speaker 3: Super Bowl the next three years. Mike Tomlin. They should
Speaker 3: be calling Pittsburgh trying to work out of trade.
Speaker 2: Last question for you, the Los Angeles Rams in Scottsdale,
Speaker 2: Arizona because the game was moved from LA due to
Speaker 2: the wildfires. Uh, they're going to there hosting a playoff
Speaker 2: game against the Minnesota Vikings tonight. You saw what happy
Speaker 2: to you, boy, Sam Donald last week? As I told you,
Speaker 2: I told you that was coming. I mean, I tried
Speaker 2: to break it to you. I tried to break it.
Speaker 3: He went up. You told me that in week number four,
Speaker 3: So you were wrong in week five.
Speaker 1: I don't recall it.
Speaker 3: Six, I don't recall seven to that week you got
Speaker 3: talking about.
Speaker 1: I don't know what you talking about. Man, I don't
Speaker 1: know what you're talking about.
Speaker 2: But I know what I saw against the Detroit Lions
Speaker 2: last week. And now he goes into the playoffs fresh
Speaker 2: off getting his ass kicked. What do you expect for
Speaker 2: the Minnesota Vikings against Los Angeles tonight?
Speaker 3: Man? This is a contract changing game because if he's
Speaker 3: able to win this game in Arizona, and God bless
Speaker 3: the Rams, man, God bless their families and what they're
Speaker 3: going through out there horrific. While I mean It's hard
Speaker 3: to concentrate on a football game when life is really
Speaker 3: you know, get throwing you a really a set of
Speaker 3: unfortunate circumstances that we've never seen in our life. But
Speaker 3: this right here, it came with Sam Donald. It changes well,
Speaker 3: how the Vikings attacking JJ McCarthy, it attacks. It makes
Speaker 3: a statement of do they franchise him? Do they sign
Speaker 3: him to a multi year deal, because if he's able
Speaker 3: to win this game, you can't deny the Vikings got
Speaker 3: to be able to bring him back. And the only
Speaker 3: way that you can execute the ghosts that you have
Speaker 3: while you pass is by winning. He was shaky last week,
Speaker 3: but any quarterback can be shake the way Dee Trot
Speaker 3: was claned, the way the way that they had them
Speaker 3: moving on.
Speaker 1: Thirteen guys on the engine. Listen to the defensive side.
Speaker 3: Of the ball. Man. They that they played the hell
Speaker 3: of the game. They brought it to my Bikings. I
Speaker 3: respect that, But now it's the playoffs and now all
Speaker 3: that can be rectified in Arizona against the Rams.
Speaker 1: How are you gonna beat the Rams? Rams have been
Speaker 1: looking pretty good.
Speaker 3: Oh no, we're gonna throw it. Man. We gotta get JJ. Man.
Speaker 3: You saw what happened last week. JJ, JJ is getting
Speaker 3: ready to have one fifty. All right, defense turned it
Speaker 3: all over. J.
Speaker 1: Don't you just said.
Speaker 3: One fifty in Arizona against the Rams the night? All right,
Speaker 3: the night.
Speaker 2: Very emotional sounds, very emotional, sounds, very emotional, Chriscott, I'm
Speaker 2: gonna let you go, but expect the text from me tonight.
Speaker 2: Expect the text for me tonight. I'll be watching the
Speaker 2: game virtually with you, brother. You know what I'm saying,
Speaker 2: saying some living whatever the hell the word is, I'm
Speaker 2: gonna be watching it with you.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna because ain't no way, I can't well, I
