1 00:00:04,428 --> 00:00:06,628 Speaker 1: Good Morning Football is the production of the NFL in 2 00:00:06,708 --> 00:00:16,548 Speaker 1: partnership with iHeartRadio. Let's take a look at the AFC 3 00:00:16,908 --> 00:00:20,868 Speaker 1: playoff picture. So right now the Bills hold the two spot, 4 00:00:21,068 --> 00:00:24,228 Speaker 1: Bengals are in third. Kansas City right now sits on 5 00:00:24,228 --> 00:00:26,148 Speaker 1: the left side of the screen in the top spot. 6 00:00:26,188 --> 00:00:29,948 Speaker 1: We know there is uncertainty surrounding the continuation of the 7 00:00:29,988 --> 00:00:32,428 Speaker 1: Bills Bengals game from Monday night. Safe to say though, 8 00:00:32,468 --> 00:00:34,668 Speaker 1: that the Chiefs beating the Raiders this weekend would go 9 00:00:34,708 --> 00:00:37,148 Speaker 1: a long way to help secure a buy and home 10 00:00:37,148 --> 00:00:42,388 Speaker 1: field advantage for Kansas City. So bearing in mind that 11 00:00:42,548 --> 00:00:45,428 Speaker 1: Las Vegas took the Niners all the way to overtime 12 00:00:45,508 --> 00:00:47,148 Speaker 1: last week in a game what did you call the 13 00:00:47,188 --> 00:00:51,788 Speaker 1: September mind bender ball when it was Jarretts did him 14 00:00:51,828 --> 00:00:54,228 Speaker 1: against Brock Purty? What stands out to you in this game? 15 00:00:54,268 --> 00:00:57,988 Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes against Jarrett Agan and I had to play 16 00:00:57,988 --> 00:01:00,388 Speaker 1: against an attempt to cover while I was playing in 17 00:01:00,388 --> 00:01:02,828 Speaker 1: the league. And that's Travis Kelsey's We come up to 18 00:01:02,908 --> 00:01:06,108 Speaker 1: the last week of the Sea. This guy's been incredible 19 00:01:06,108 --> 00:01:08,228 Speaker 1: and we talked about it all year, thirty three years 20 00:01:08,228 --> 00:01:10,428 Speaker 1: old and this down the third No Tyreek Hill this 21 00:01:10,548 --> 00:01:13,668 Speaker 1: year and he has just balled over one hundred receptions 22 00:01:13,708 --> 00:01:18,068 Speaker 1: against thirteen hundred yards. He's leading the NFL and receiving 23 00:01:18,148 --> 00:01:21,588 Speaker 1: touchdowns with twelve as a tight end. On top of that, 24 00:01:21,668 --> 00:01:23,788 Speaker 1: these two teams already met this year and if you 25 00:01:23,788 --> 00:01:28,948 Speaker 1: can remember, Travis Kelsey in that game scored four touchdowns, 26 00:01:29,348 --> 00:01:31,948 Speaker 1: four of them. The Raiders attempted to double team him 27 00:01:32,028 --> 00:01:34,388 Speaker 1: on two of the touchdowns and went one on one. 28 00:01:34,468 --> 00:01:37,588 Speaker 1: They played zol They tried to bring every player off 29 00:01:37,628 --> 00:01:40,628 Speaker 1: the sideline and just all played defense at once, and 30 00:01:40,668 --> 00:01:44,548 Speaker 1: they still couldn't stop Travis Kelsey from scoring touchdowns. He 31 00:01:44,668 --> 00:01:47,788 Speaker 1: only had twenty five yards receiving, but four times he 32 00:01:47,828 --> 00:01:49,868 Speaker 1: was able to cross the plane and put the ball 33 00:01:50,148 --> 00:01:51,948 Speaker 1: in the end zone. So as the season comes to 34 00:01:51,988 --> 00:01:53,948 Speaker 1: a rap, I just want to shout out Travis Kelsey. 35 00:01:53,988 --> 00:01:56,748 Speaker 1: This guy is incredible each and every year. Such a 36 00:01:56,828 --> 00:01:59,348 Speaker 1: tough cover and get to done all over the field 37 00:01:59,348 --> 00:02:01,388 Speaker 1: for the kNs. We're going into this game just to 38 00:02:01,748 --> 00:02:03,868 Speaker 1: up the Travis Kelsey. He needs one hundred and seventeen 39 00:02:03,948 --> 00:02:06,708 Speaker 1: yards on Sunday to have the most receiving yards ever 40 00:02:06,788 --> 00:02:08,348 Speaker 1: by a tight end in his season. Do you know 41 00:02:08,348 --> 00:02:12,828 Speaker 1: who's record he d breaking Travis Kelce. Yeah, is Travis 42 00:02:12,868 --> 00:02:14,708 Speaker 1: Kelsey mad at Travis kels because he need an extra 43 00:02:14,748 --> 00:02:18,148 Speaker 1: game to beat Travis. I'm mad at myself, but I've 44 00:02:18,148 --> 00:02:21,908 Speaker 1: done at seventeen eighteen. I'm going to continue that. I 45 00:02:22,028 --> 00:02:24,268 Speaker 1: just look at that the playoffs scenario, and that's just 46 00:02:24,308 --> 00:02:27,148 Speaker 1: a big chief slogo over on the left, and I 47 00:02:27,188 --> 00:02:29,348 Speaker 1: just think this is the way it goes. There's always 48 00:02:29,388 --> 00:02:33,148 Speaker 1: these reports you hear about massive movie stars or public figures, 49 00:02:33,148 --> 00:02:35,988 Speaker 1: and they're riders or whatever, like Will Smith Allegedly I'd 50 00:02:35,988 --> 00:02:38,148 Speaker 1: have the whole second trailer with a gym in it, 51 00:02:38,308 --> 00:02:40,628 Speaker 1: And to me, Moore would only wash her hair with 52 00:02:40,708 --> 00:02:43,948 Speaker 1: evian water. Who knows if that's true. Patrick Mahomes only 53 00:02:43,948 --> 00:02:46,788 Speaker 1: plays home playoff games. That's that's his deal. I only 54 00:02:47,108 --> 00:02:50,148 Speaker 1: play at home. I'll travel for the super Bowl and 55 00:02:50,188 --> 00:02:52,428 Speaker 1: eventually I'll demand to play the super Bowl at home too, 56 00:02:52,508 --> 00:02:54,908 Speaker 1: but I only play home playoff games. It's of all 57 00:02:54,948 --> 00:02:57,988 Speaker 1: the mind bogging Mahome stuff. And there's a lot The 58 00:02:58,028 --> 00:03:01,308 Speaker 1: fact that he has never once faced a road playoff 59 00:03:01,348 --> 00:03:04,668 Speaker 1: crowd ever, a true one. He really hasn't, is so 60 00:03:04,748 --> 00:03:08,428 Speaker 1: unbelievably astounding. And here they sit in a very peculiar 61 00:03:08,468 --> 00:03:11,188 Speaker 1: situation and everyone's heart is broken for Buffalo, and I 62 00:03:11,188 --> 00:03:14,068 Speaker 1: think Mahomes has been amazing this week and talking about it, 63 00:03:14,748 --> 00:03:16,868 Speaker 1: you just beat the Raiders, slap them around like you 64 00:03:16,988 --> 00:03:19,748 Speaker 1: usually do, and you are locking it up. We think 65 00:03:20,188 --> 00:03:23,748 Speaker 1: it's complicated, but beat the Raiders and the AFC title 66 00:03:23,788 --> 00:03:27,308 Speaker 1: game likely the Arrowhead Invitational as it is every single year. 67 00:03:27,308 --> 00:03:29,428 Speaker 1: They don't always win it, but they always host it. 68 00:03:29,588 --> 00:03:31,868 Speaker 1: And all you have to do is beat Peter's guy, 69 00:03:31,988 --> 00:03:34,988 Speaker 1: Jared's Didham who is formidable, and DeVante Adams. But you 70 00:03:34,988 --> 00:03:36,748 Speaker 1: see that silver and black logo and the Chiefs just 71 00:03:36,868 --> 00:03:38,708 Speaker 1: run right through them. And here we go home playoff 72 00:03:38,748 --> 00:03:41,668 Speaker 1: games again. I'm with you. I think the Chiefs do 73 00:03:41,868 --> 00:03:44,428 Speaker 1: roll in this game, and I think they will have 74 00:03:44,588 --> 00:03:48,228 Speaker 1: the home playoff game. To me, Patrick Mahomes is about 75 00:03:48,268 --> 00:03:50,428 Speaker 1: to cap off one of the greatest seasons we've ever 76 00:03:50,428 --> 00:03:52,708 Speaker 1: seen by a quarterback. I don't think we talk about 77 00:03:52,708 --> 00:03:54,028 Speaker 1: it all that much. What do I mean by this? 78 00:03:54,428 --> 00:03:56,388 Speaker 1: Do you know if Mahomes throws for four hundred and 79 00:03:56,468 --> 00:03:58,428 Speaker 1: thirty yards, which he has done five times in his 80 00:03:58,548 --> 00:04:01,388 Speaker 1: NFL throws for four hundred and thirty yards, it'll be 81 00:04:01,428 --> 00:04:05,348 Speaker 1: the most passing yards ever in an NFL season, He's 82 00:04:05,428 --> 00:04:09,388 Speaker 1: four thirty away from breaking the single season passing yardage record, 83 00:04:09,908 --> 00:04:13,348 Speaker 1: and it's a footnote on our show. Let's sneak that 84 00:04:13,388 --> 00:04:17,788 Speaker 1: in somewhere in the three hours during a week eighteen conversation, 85 00:04:19,268 --> 00:04:23,868 Speaker 1: Mahomes already has joined Drew Brees as the only two 86 00:04:23,988 --> 00:04:26,988 Speaker 1: quarterbacks in NFL history to have multiple five thousand yard 87 00:04:27,028 --> 00:04:30,268 Speaker 1: twenty touchdown season Mahomes and doing in a dome. Mahomes 88 00:04:30,268 --> 00:04:33,828 Speaker 1: did it an outdoors, and Mahomes did it without the 89 00:04:33,908 --> 00:04:36,308 Speaker 1: receiver that everyone said he relied on for so many 90 00:04:36,388 --> 00:04:39,508 Speaker 1: years in Tyreek Hill. Patrick Mahomes is in the midst 91 00:04:39,548 --> 00:04:44,308 Speaker 1: of what I would call an unbelievable, one of a 92 00:04:44,388 --> 00:04:47,828 Speaker 1: generation type season, and we're not even talking about it 93 00:04:47,868 --> 00:04:50,268 Speaker 1: because we take it for granted that Mahomes is that good. 94 00:04:50,628 --> 00:04:54,068 Speaker 1: He's your MVP. He's gonna lock it up this weekend, 95 00:04:54,308 --> 00:04:56,188 Speaker 1: and I think he throws for more than four thirty 96 00:04:56,228 --> 00:04:57,628 Speaker 1: I think when this thing is all said and done 97 00:04:57,628 --> 00:05:00,068 Speaker 1: on Saturday, we're gonna have a new single season passing 98 00:05:00,068 --> 00:05:03,268 Speaker 1: record holder, and Patrick Mahomes's name, we're gonna say, wait, 99 00:05:03,308 --> 00:05:06,028 Speaker 1: what he did that this season? One? Yeah? Well, what 100 00:05:06,068 --> 00:05:09,388 Speaker 1: about he and Kelsey are doing some magical stuff and 101 00:05:09,388 --> 00:05:11,908 Speaker 1: I think we should take a second Saturday, the only 102 00:05:11,988 --> 00:05:14,348 Speaker 1: game that's gonna be on. Just appreciate the year that 103 00:05:14,388 --> 00:05:16,228 Speaker 1: Mahomes has had. Is there an asterix what it are 104 00:05:16,268 --> 00:05:19,068 Speaker 1: now being game? Right? Think it might be because Peyton 105 00:05:19,068 --> 00:05:21,788 Speaker 1: Manning did it in less and that's fair, But I 106 00:05:21,828 --> 00:05:26,028 Speaker 1: think this isn't a once U one night wonder. This 107 00:05:26,108 --> 00:05:28,348 Speaker 1: is Mahomes has done a year after year after year 108 00:05:28,348 --> 00:05:31,148 Speaker 1: after year. He's already won one MVP in twenty eighteen. 109 00:05:31,188 --> 00:05:32,388 Speaker 1: I think he gets a second, and I think he 110 00:05:32,428 --> 00:05:34,548 Speaker 1: puts the cherry on top this weaving. I know that 111 00:05:34,708 --> 00:05:36,948 Speaker 1: the new standard with the extra game is hard. At 112 00:05:36,988 --> 00:05:38,908 Speaker 1: some point we have to start considering like, okay, this 113 00:05:38,988 --> 00:05:40,268 Speaker 1: is it, Like this is how we have to start. 114 00:05:40,668 --> 00:05:41,868 Speaker 1: We'll go to eighteen and we'll do it all over 115 00:05:41,988 --> 00:05:44,028 Speaker 1: right exactly, Peter, I know this is Harphy. You probably 116 00:05:44,028 --> 00:05:45,788 Speaker 1: look at this question last night and you're like, oh no, 117 00:05:45,948 --> 00:05:48,068 Speaker 1: my guys, both my guys are here. I gotta go 118 00:05:48,108 --> 00:05:51,548 Speaker 1: Mahomes or I gotta go Stidham. Momaya, So I'll take 119 00:05:51,588 --> 00:05:53,908 Speaker 1: Stidham off your hands for you if I mate, Jared Stidham. 120 00:05:53,948 --> 00:05:56,508 Speaker 1: I know pretty much everyone's listed as like questionable or 121 00:05:56,588 --> 00:05:59,268 Speaker 1: deffel or I don't know. The injury reports are flush 122 00:05:59,428 --> 00:06:02,468 Speaker 1: this week, but I think Jared Stidham has an opportunity 123 00:06:02,508 --> 00:06:05,908 Speaker 1: here to solidify something that no one really saw coming. 124 00:06:05,908 --> 00:06:08,148 Speaker 1: Because you know, we talked about Derek Carr first in 125 00:06:08,148 --> 00:06:10,668 Speaker 1: the show, before we talked about Jared Stidham in his 126 00:06:10,748 --> 00:06:12,668 Speaker 1: future with the Raiders. He had a hell of a 127 00:06:12,708 --> 00:06:15,148 Speaker 1: game last week, turning sixty five yards two picks, but 128 00:06:15,468 --> 00:06:18,508 Speaker 1: they those picks really weren't on him. I would not 129 00:06:18,508 --> 00:06:21,468 Speaker 1: put it, but the three touchdowns Davante Adams, I think 130 00:06:21,468 --> 00:06:24,108 Speaker 1: connecting with him this week, if they if he plays, 131 00:06:24,308 --> 00:06:27,868 Speaker 1: is makes Davante Adams feel something about the Raiders, feel 132 00:06:27,908 --> 00:06:31,028 Speaker 1: something about this offense. And Jared Stidham, whether your future 133 00:06:31,068 --> 00:06:33,788 Speaker 1: is with the Raiders. Somebody else put some stuff on tape. 134 00:06:34,188 --> 00:06:35,948 Speaker 1: Make it two weeks in a row. We just came off, 135 00:06:35,988 --> 00:06:38,148 Speaker 1: talked about Rock Purty for the last month like we're 136 00:06:38,188 --> 00:06:40,588 Speaker 1: still waiting for the sky to fall. Like why don't 137 00:06:40,628 --> 00:06:42,508 Speaker 1: you have a second week in a row where your 138 00:06:42,548 --> 00:06:45,108 Speaker 1: game is off the charts, You're getting blitzed, you're reading it, 139 00:06:45,108 --> 00:06:48,388 Speaker 1: you're getting out of pressure, you're handling every situation just fine. 140 00:06:48,708 --> 00:06:52,268 Speaker 1: Josh McDaniels was effusive in his response after in his 141 00:06:52,308 --> 00:06:54,988 Speaker 1: analysis of Stidham's play after this week, I think if 142 00:06:55,028 --> 00:06:57,468 Speaker 1: you string two games together and leave that good taste 143 00:06:57,508 --> 00:06:59,748 Speaker 1: in everyone's mouth in the offseason for the Raiders in 144 00:06:59,828 --> 00:07:01,908 Speaker 1: terms of their offense, I think he did just fine. 145 00:07:01,948 --> 00:07:04,268 Speaker 1: Heading as a weird couple of weeks for the Raiders. 146 00:07:04,388 --> 00:07:10,308 Speaker 1: It so excited for the guys. Has having one of 147 00:07:10,308 --> 00:07:13,308 Speaker 1: the best rookie seasons of twenty twenty two. He's preparing 148 00:07:13,348 --> 00:07:16,388 Speaker 1: for a massive game on Sunday night in Green Bay, 149 00:07:16,388 --> 00:07:19,188 Speaker 1: and Billy Jean is not his lover. Please welcome in 150 00:07:19,268 --> 00:07:26,188 Speaker 1: Lion's defensive end, Aiden Hutchins saying, you guys doing We're 151 00:07:26,188 --> 00:07:29,428 Speaker 1: doing great. It's thrilling to see you. Of all weeks, 152 00:07:29,468 --> 00:07:31,308 Speaker 1: this week we have to shift gears a little bit. 153 00:07:31,308 --> 00:07:32,668 Speaker 1: We have so much to talk about with you in 154 00:07:32,708 --> 00:07:34,668 Speaker 1: so little time.

Aiden, and you know, as a 156 00:07:37,308 --> 00:07:39,788 Speaker 1: football lifer who comes from a family of athletes and 157 00:07:39,828 --> 00:07:43,148 Speaker 1: a father who played football that football is that a 158 00:07:43,148 --> 00:07:44,908 Speaker 1: tough week and we're getting through it, and we're talking 159 00:07:44,948 --> 00:07:47,428 Speaker 1: about the health of Damar Hamlin on the Buffalo Bills. 160 00:07:47,628 --> 00:07:49,628 Speaker 1: I'm sure you were watching Monday night football. What was 161 00:07:49,668 --> 00:07:53,708 Speaker 1: your reaction when you saw what happened? Yeah, you know, 162 00:07:53,748 --> 00:07:56,708 Speaker 1: I actually wasn't washing. I actually gotta someone was calling 163 00:07:56,708 --> 00:07:59,428 Speaker 1: me telling me what was going on, and I turned 164 00:07:59,428 --> 00:08:01,308 Speaker 1: it on right away trying to see, you know, what 165 00:08:01,388 --> 00:08:04,188 Speaker 1: was going on. And man, I just turned TV on 166 00:08:04,388 --> 00:08:07,068 Speaker 1: see a bunch of players crying, and then know what 167 00:08:07,148 --> 00:08:09,508 Speaker 1: was going on. But you know, once I got the 168 00:08:09,508 --> 00:08:12,308 Speaker 1: scoop of the situation, you know, you understand the magnitude 169 00:08:12,308 --> 00:08:15,748 Speaker 1: of it. And man, I mean just from that moment 170 00:08:15,748 --> 00:08:18,988 Speaker 1: where everyone's just waiting with bated breath and and you know, 171 00:08:19,068 --> 00:08:21,628 Speaker 1: hoping that he's okay. So yeah, it was. It was 172 00:08:21,668 --> 00:08:25,508 Speaker 1: definitely an eye opener for sure. Yeah, we're all trying 173 00:08:25,548 --> 00:08:28,268 Speaker 1: to still process what happened. And I'm sure you guys 174 00:08:28,268 --> 00:08:30,628 Speaker 1: are doing the same in Detroit. And I played in 175 00:08:30,628 --> 00:08:33,468 Speaker 1: those locker rooms for thirteen years and there's a certain 176 00:08:33,548 --> 00:08:36,228 Speaker 1: brotherhood and a certain relationships that go on in it. 177 00:08:36,668 --> 00:08:38,628 Speaker 1: How has it been for you guys in the locker 178 00:08:38,708 --> 00:08:41,508 Speaker 1: room this week to conversations and how everybody's continuing to 179 00:08:41,588 --> 00:08:46,148 Speaker 1: move forward? Yeah, you know, I mean it's definitely one 180 00:08:46,148 --> 00:08:49,748 Speaker 1: of those things that not a whole like the whole 181 00:08:49,748 --> 00:08:51,388 Speaker 1: locker room. I don't want us to talk about it. 182 00:08:51,428 --> 00:08:53,908 Speaker 1: You know, when you're in there and something like that happens, 183 00:08:53,948 --> 00:08:57,388 Speaker 1: I think it naturally brings you closer together. And um, 184 00:08:57,508 --> 00:09:00,228 Speaker 1: you know, because when you when someone you know is 185 00:09:00,268 --> 00:09:03,308 Speaker 1: getting CPR on the field but literally his heart's not work, 186 00:09:03,388 --> 00:09:06,668 Speaker 1: it's just like it's it's it really brings you closer, 187 00:09:06,668 --> 00:09:08,708 Speaker 1: and it brings you together, and it makes you realize, 188 00:09:09,148 --> 00:09:10,908 Speaker 1: you know that we're all just playing football. We're all 189 00:09:10,908 --> 00:09:14,428 Speaker 1: having fun playing football, and and you know the effects 190 00:09:14,748 --> 00:09:17,188 Speaker 1: of the game can be can be very can be 191 00:09:17,268 --> 00:09:21,388 Speaker 1: very hard on a lot of guys. So um, I think, um, 192 00:09:21,428 --> 00:09:23,988 Speaker 1: you know, just it definitely brought us together more. It 193 00:09:24,028 --> 00:09:27,548 Speaker 1: definitely made us, um just more and unified. You know. Um, 194 00:09:27,668 --> 00:09:31,788 Speaker 1: just we're all just playing this game, having fun and um, 195 00:09:31,828 --> 00:09:35,388 Speaker 1: you know, just doing our thing.

Um, 197 00:09:38,828 --> 00:09:41,028 Speaker 1: what's been interesting for our show is that we are 198 00:09:41,068 --> 00:09:42,988 Speaker 1: a football show, and we talk at three hundred and 199 00:09:43,028 --> 00:09:45,188 Speaker 1: sixty five days a year, three hours a day, and 200 00:09:45,228 --> 00:09:47,988 Speaker 1: at some point we've had to focus on Hey, wait, 201 00:09:47,988 --> 00:09:50,988 Speaker 1: there's games this weekend too. I could only imagine that 202 00:09:51,108 --> 00:09:53,268 Speaker 1: you guys have the same thing going on also, and 203 00:09:53,308 --> 00:09:56,468 Speaker 1: it's the biggest Lions game and maybe a decade take 204 00:09:56,508 --> 00:09:58,388 Speaker 1: it on the Packers with a chance to go to 205 00:09:58,428 --> 00:10:01,508 Speaker 1: the playoffs if if you guys get some help from 206 00:10:01,508 --> 00:10:04,388 Speaker 1: the Rams. So I ask you, how is that transition 207 00:10:04,428 --> 00:10:06,748 Speaker 1: and been as far as hey, this is going on 208 00:10:06,748 --> 00:10:08,948 Speaker 1: in one end, but we've got to focus the biggest 209 00:10:08,988 --> 00:10:11,628 Speaker 1: sporting event in this city for this football team and 210 00:10:11,748 --> 00:10:15,788 Speaker 1: quite some time. Yeah, it's it's definitely weird, you know. 211 00:10:15,868 --> 00:10:18,188 Speaker 1: I mean yesterday we started off our team meeting with 212 00:10:18,228 --> 00:10:20,828 Speaker 1: a with a prayer for tomorrow and then you know, 213 00:10:21,188 --> 00:10:23,268 Speaker 1: you kind of take a few moments and then you 214 00:10:23,308 --> 00:10:26,868 Speaker 1: know you gotta then focus on the Packers, you know. Uh, 215 00:10:27,068 --> 00:10:29,788 Speaker 1: And that's what we've been doing. We've been game planning, 216 00:10:29,788 --> 00:10:34,028 Speaker 1: we've been getting ready. Obviously still you know, thinking about 217 00:10:34,068 --> 00:10:36,388 Speaker 1: tomorrow and praying for him, but um, you know, we 218 00:10:36,468 --> 00:10:38,868 Speaker 1: got to get ready for our game this week and 219 00:10:39,428 --> 00:10:41,468 Speaker 1: you know, and get ready for the Packers going to Lambeau. 220 00:10:43,868 --> 00:10:45,708 Speaker 1: You know, those who have watched you in college and 221 00:10:45,748 --> 00:10:48,668 Speaker 1: the draft process on the show, even they've gotten to 222 00:10:48,668 --> 00:10:50,988 Speaker 1: know your family, It's been really cool to see how 223 00:10:50,988 --> 00:10:54,628 Speaker 1: connected you all are, especially through football. Your sister took 224 00:10:54,628 --> 00:10:59,628 Speaker 1: this incredible video of your interception last week against the Bears. Yeah. Great, 225 00:11:00,068 --> 00:11:02,828 Speaker 1: just zoom right in on him. You're just you're lurking. 226 00:11:03,028 --> 00:11:05,068 Speaker 1: You're lurking like the best of them. Take us through 227 00:11:05,108 --> 00:11:06,908 Speaker 1: what you were doing on this play. What it feels 228 00:11:06,908 --> 00:11:09,268 Speaker 1: like to see your family supporting you so hard like 229 00:11:09,308 --> 00:11:12,988 Speaker 1: they do every Sunday. Oh yeah, I mean they're there 230 00:11:13,028 --> 00:11:16,468 Speaker 1: all the time, every game. And you know in that 231 00:11:16,588 --> 00:11:18,588 Speaker 1: in that play, you know, it's one of those situational 232 00:11:18,668 --> 00:11:22,548 Speaker 1: defenses where we're pretty much guarding the sidelines and making 233 00:11:22,588 --> 00:11:25,228 Speaker 1: them throw down the middle because the half will be over. 234 00:11:25,788 --> 00:11:28,268 Speaker 1: And you know, I see one of those wide receivers 235 00:11:28,268 --> 00:11:31,668 Speaker 1: coming over to me and justin start staring at him 236 00:11:31,788 --> 00:11:34,868 Speaker 1: like I know you're not gonna throw that ball, and 237 00:11:35,188 --> 00:11:37,268 Speaker 1: you know, he ended up throwing it and I kind 238 00:11:37,268 --> 00:11:41,388 Speaker 1: of jumped the route and um, you know, um got 239 00:11:41,428 --> 00:11:43,788 Speaker 1: another interception. You know, I've never touched the ball as 240 00:11:43,868 --> 00:11:46,268 Speaker 1: much of my career, but it's it seems I seem 241 00:11:46,308 --> 00:11:49,908 Speaker 1: to be having one of those years. Yeah, it's been 242 00:11:49,988 --> 00:11:51,988 Speaker 1: one hell of a year. A rookie year seven and 243 00:11:51,988 --> 00:11:54,988 Speaker 1: a half sacks, But it's been more impressive for me 244 00:11:55,028 --> 00:11:56,468 Speaker 1: as a d line. You guys are out there, you 245 00:11:56,548 --> 00:11:58,628 Speaker 1: have the gloves on, you have a mountain of tape. 246 00:11:58,668 --> 00:12:01,188 Speaker 1: You've actually been able to come up with three interceptions. 247 00:12:01,388 --> 00:12:03,508 Speaker 1: Dbs don't even do that in a rookie year or 248 00:12:03,508 --> 00:12:06,148 Speaker 1: some of them. Your name now is being thrown around 249 00:12:06,188 --> 00:12:08,868 Speaker 1: a lot as a possible Rookie of the year defensively. 250 00:12:09,108 --> 00:12:11,868 Speaker 1: How much would that honor mean to you? Yeah, man, 251 00:12:11,908 --> 00:12:13,428 Speaker 1: I think it meet a lot. You know, I think 252 00:12:13,748 --> 00:12:16,388 Speaker 1: a lot went into this rookie year. You know, so 253 00:12:16,508 --> 00:12:19,908 Speaker 1: much preparation every single week, and you know, I think 254 00:12:19,948 --> 00:12:22,188 Speaker 1: I really have the stats to show for it too, 255 00:12:22,268 --> 00:12:24,388 Speaker 1: So I mean I'm doing it all around the board. 256 00:12:24,428 --> 00:12:27,108 Speaker 1: So I really think that's why I'm um I should be, 257 00:12:27,268 --> 00:12:29,428 Speaker 1: you know, the candidate to win it. But um man, 258 00:12:29,548 --> 00:12:32,068 Speaker 1: we're just taking a week by week and my focus 259 00:12:32,148 --> 00:12:36,028 Speaker 1: right now is beating Green Bay. And but yeah, I'm 260 00:12:36,068 --> 00:12:39,268 Speaker 1: really happy with, you know, with with how I'm playing 261 00:12:39,308 --> 00:12:41,708 Speaker 1: right now. I'm gonna keep it up and uh, you know, 262 00:12:41,868 --> 00:12:45,388 Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to doing You know, what we think 263 00:12:45,468 --> 00:12:47,148 Speaker 1: is koy and is that you're sitting there you might 264 00:12:47,148 --> 00:12:48,588 Speaker 1: win Rookie of the year. You might get to the 265 00:12:48,628 --> 00:12:51,308 Speaker 1: playoffs and you got some dollars in your pocket, and 266 00:12:51,388 --> 00:12:53,548 Speaker 1: yet you're still putting in a shift at the FedEx 267 00:12:53,628 --> 00:12:56,228 Speaker 1: came where are you doing this interview from the storage room? 268 00:12:56,428 --> 00:13:03,668 Speaker 1: What are locking tape? But if you're looking at it's ridiculous. 269 00:13:03,708 --> 00:13:06,148 Speaker 1: I don't know what we got to invest in in 270 00:13:06,228 --> 00:13:08,348 Speaker 1: a meeting room or something. We got a million of 271 00:13:08,348 --> 00:13:11,948 Speaker 1: them in here, just went without some boxes in it. 272 00:13:11,948 --> 00:13:14,228 Speaker 1: It's incredible. I mean it really like there's a pack 273 00:13:14,268 --> 00:13:16,508 Speaker 1: of packing peanuts next to you on one of those 274 00:13:16,548 --> 00:13:20,308 Speaker 1: tape things and you're trying to package up a playoff. Nice, 275 00:13:20,348 --> 00:13:22,188 Speaker 1: I get it. You know what I'm saying. You're a 276 00:13:22,228 --> 00:13:24,908 Speaker 1: total package. And let me ask you this, So you 277 00:13:24,988 --> 00:13:27,788 Speaker 1: gotta take down Rogers. You gotta go into Roger's house 278 00:13:27,828 --> 00:13:30,308 Speaker 1: and take him down. Rogers loves playing the game, all right, 279 00:13:30,308 --> 00:13:33,908 Speaker 1: and he loves talking. He loves chatter. Let's having conversations 280 00:13:33,948 --> 00:13:36,348 Speaker 1: between plays. You already went against them once this year. 281 00:13:36,588 --> 00:13:38,908 Speaker 1: Was there any chatter between Rogers and the rook And 282 00:13:38,948 --> 00:13:42,468 Speaker 1: what do you anticipate saying to him in this game? Well, 283 00:13:42,468 --> 00:13:44,948 Speaker 1: when we played him a few weeks ago, I don't 284 00:13:44,948 --> 00:13:46,948 Speaker 1: know when that was I gotta I got my first 285 00:13:46,988 --> 00:13:50,788 Speaker 1: interception against him right in the red zone, and so 286 00:13:50,868 --> 00:13:53,388 Speaker 1: he had some words for me, definitely. Um, you know 287 00:13:53,428 --> 00:13:56,148 Speaker 1: it's just some a little snarky comment telling me he 288 00:13:56,188 --> 00:13:59,148 Speaker 1: gave me a gift, you know that you're welcome for 289 00:13:59,188 --> 00:14:02,588 Speaker 1: the gift rook something something like that, and um, you 290 00:14:02,628 --> 00:14:05,868 Speaker 1: know he's always you know, poking jab and especially when 291 00:14:05,868 --> 00:14:07,908 Speaker 1: it comes to the line. So you know, it's all, 292 00:14:07,988 --> 00:14:10,468 Speaker 1: it's all fun and uh, you know, I love that 293 00:14:10,548 --> 00:14:12,748 Speaker 1: kind of stuff. So we're gonna go out there. I'm 294 00:14:12,748 --> 00:14:15,668 Speaker 1: sure you know, we're gonna well, we'll have some words, 295 00:14:15,668 --> 00:14:17,588 Speaker 1: but it's all, it's all. It's all in the fun 296 00:14:17,628 --> 00:14:20,628 Speaker 1: of the game, you know. And I want to hone 297 00:14:20,668 --> 00:14:22,828 Speaker 1: back in on that pick you had on Rodgers. You know, 298 00:14:22,828 --> 00:14:24,868 Speaker 1: a lot was said about Dre Greenlaw going up to 299 00:14:24,868 --> 00:14:26,628 Speaker 1: Tom Brady after a game a couple of weeks ago 300 00:14:26,668 --> 00:14:28,828 Speaker 1: asking for him to sign the ball in which he 301 00:14:28,908 --> 00:14:31,388 Speaker 1: took from him. Any consideration for you there, I mean, 302 00:14:31,428 --> 00:14:33,428 Speaker 1: I know you're having a lot of first hand experiences 303 00:14:33,428 --> 00:14:36,388 Speaker 1: in the NFL. Would you do something like that maybe 304 00:14:36,428 --> 00:14:38,748 Speaker 1: if you got a second one off of Aaron Rodgers, 305 00:14:40,348 --> 00:14:43,068 Speaker 1: You know, I might consider. I didn't know that was 306 00:14:43,108 --> 00:14:45,828 Speaker 1: even a possibility. Um, you know, just being new to 307 00:14:45,828 --> 00:14:48,508 Speaker 1: the league, I didn't know guys did that. And I 308 00:14:48,668 --> 00:14:51,508 Speaker 1: was getting some texts after the game saying that I 309 00:14:51,508 --> 00:14:53,508 Speaker 1: should have made him sign it. But I didn't even 310 00:14:53,508 --> 00:14:56,028 Speaker 1: know that was a thing. So I mean, definitely for 311 00:14:56,108 --> 00:15:01,548 Speaker 1: any future plays made on Aaron Rodgers, you know, maybe 312 00:15:01,628 --> 00:15:05,668 Speaker 1: I'll ask him. We'll see. And you know what, the 313 00:15:05,668 --> 00:15:07,468 Speaker 1: first one's a gift. That's cute. You get them again. 314 00:15:07,508 --> 00:15:09,828 Speaker 1: That ain't no gift, buddy. You take that ball and 315 00:15:09,868 --> 00:15:12,108 Speaker 1: you're gonna package it up and tape it with tracking 316 00:15:12,188 --> 00:15:14,788 Speaker 1: number and send it to your family. I know you 317 00:15:14,828 --> 00:15:19,068 Speaker 1: sign it and you give it to Rogers. I didn't 318 00:15:19,068 --> 00:15:26,548 Speaker 1: say Sayers is great. Go Sackers asked three times this weekend. 319 00:15:26,508 --> 00:15:28,868 Speaker 1: All right, we'll get a Lions playoff win.

Is it Derrick Henry 337 00:16:25,868 --> 00:16:29,988 Speaker 1: or Trevor Lawrence? Big your button on the conference call up? Am? 338 00:16:29,988 --> 00:16:33,188 Speaker 1: I mute? Am I mute? Can you guys are here? Met? Sorry, 339 00:16:33,188 --> 00:16:36,228 Speaker 1: that's my cat in the background. I was doing zoom. 340 00:16:36,948 --> 00:16:38,588 Speaker 1: I think it's on Trevor Lawrence. I think a lot 341 00:16:38,588 --> 00:16:41,068 Speaker 1: of people haven't watched the Jaguars much this season. They 342 00:16:41,108 --> 00:16:42,988 Speaker 1: got that Cowboys game that was right after the World 343 00:16:42,988 --> 00:16:44,468 Speaker 1: Cup Final, and people kind of saw it in the 344 00:16:44,468 --> 00:16:48,788 Speaker 1: early Fox window and here it's good. But the Thursday 345 00:16:48,868 --> 00:16:50,988 Speaker 1: night game that was on primetime on Amazon against the Jets. 346 00:16:51,028 --> 00:16:52,708 Speaker 1: It wasn't like it was Lawrence Will throwing the ball 347 00:16:52,708 --> 00:16:54,228 Speaker 1: through the year. You look at the wind streak and 348 00:16:54,268 --> 00:16:57,348 Speaker 1: you're like, all right, we're going into an AFC playoff 349 00:16:57,428 --> 00:17:01,028 Speaker 1: picture with with young guns like Mahomes and Burrow and 350 00:17:01,188 --> 00:17:05,308 Speaker 1: Herbert and Alan and these giants stars in the league. 351 00:17:05,948 --> 00:17:08,708 Speaker 1: We've been told because you read and you see that 352 00:17:08,948 --> 00:17:11,748 Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence is that guy now and he's getting there 353 00:17:11,748 --> 00:17:14,588 Speaker 1: and he has been fantastic against Baltimore and Dallas and 354 00:17:14,628 --> 00:17:19,028 Speaker 1: of course last week against the Texans was wonderful. Don't 355 00:17:19,188 --> 00:17:21,908 Speaker 1: don't mess it up now, and everybody's watching, like, don't 356 00:17:22,028 --> 00:17:24,708 Speaker 1: don't lose to a team that hasn't won since their 357 00:17:24,788 --> 00:17:28,148 Speaker 1: Thursday night game against the Packers. More pressure. Yeah, If 358 00:17:28,188 --> 00:17:30,868 Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence comes out there and throws three interceptions and 359 00:17:30,948 --> 00:17:32,748 Speaker 1: zero touchdowns, I don't want to hear him compared to 360 00:17:32,788 --> 00:17:35,748 Speaker 1: Justin Herbert, Latrick Mahomes or any of those guys. Next offseason. 361 00:17:36,068 --> 00:17:37,668 Speaker 1: If you win and you get there, well then you 362 00:17:37,708 --> 00:17:39,148 Speaker 1: put the wins on your back and you got your 363 00:17:39,148 --> 00:17:41,148 Speaker 1: teams in the playoffs in your second season. Now we're 364 00:17:41,148 --> 00:17:43,308 Speaker 1: talking about stuff that you know Peyton Manning did, and 365 00:17:43,308 --> 00:17:45,388 Speaker 1: Andrew luck did, those type of guys where I have 366 00:17:45,468 --> 00:17:47,788 Speaker 1: built this franchise from the ashes up on my shoulder. 367 00:17:47,948 --> 00:17:49,388 Speaker 1: But you gotta win the big one, and this is 368 00:17:49,388 --> 00:17:50,828 Speaker 1: the biggest one that he's going to ever have as 369 00:17:50,868 --> 00:17:52,588 Speaker 1: a pro up to this point. Yeah, I'm right with you. 370 00:17:52,708 --> 00:17:54,548 Speaker 1: And it's interesting you said that because you saw the 371 00:17:54,628 --> 00:17:57,228 Speaker 1: Cowboys game and then that Thursday night game the weather, 372 00:17:57,268 --> 00:17:59,588 Speaker 1: we're so bad, and then they played the Texans and 373 00:17:59,628 --> 00:18:02,748 Speaker 1: they beat the brakes off the Texans. But Trevor Lawrence 374 00:18:02,788 --> 00:18:04,388 Speaker 1: in that game, it was one hundred and fifty yards, 375 00:18:04,428 --> 00:18:07,788 Speaker 1: had an interception. It wasn't like a dynamic game for him. 376 00:18:07,948 --> 00:18:09,668 Speaker 1: And I think right now the pressure is on him 377 00:18:09,668 --> 00:18:12,188 Speaker 1: and the Jacksonville Jaguars because of what you just said. 378 00:18:12,228 --> 00:18:14,548 Speaker 1: The Titans are a team that are rolling in They've 379 00:18:14,588 --> 00:18:17,228 Speaker 1: had the most guys on injured reserve this year. They've 380 00:18:17,268 --> 00:18:19,668 Speaker 1: lost six games straight, so they're the team that's kind 381 00:18:19,668 --> 00:18:23,108 Speaker 1: of reeling and everybody's expecting Jacksonville to win. They're their 382 00:18:23,108 --> 00:18:25,308 Speaker 1: favorites in this game, and a lot of it has 383 00:18:25,348 --> 00:18:27,748 Speaker 1: to do with Trevor Lawrence and the way he's played 384 00:18:27,948 --> 00:18:30,708 Speaker 1: might not have all been on national television where everybody's 385 00:18:30,748 --> 00:18:32,668 Speaker 1: been watching. But he has been really good for this 386 00:18:32,708 --> 00:18:35,388 Speaker 1: football team, So why not show up on this Saturday 387 00:18:35,468 --> 00:18:37,428 Speaker 1: night game, will be the only one on TV. Go 388 00:18:37,548 --> 00:18:40,508 Speaker 1: out there to have a performance. Everyone's watching and paying 389 00:18:40,508 --> 00:18:42,868 Speaker 1: attention to the first overall pick to see what he does. 390 00:18:43,068 --> 00:18:45,628 Speaker 1: Henry and the Titans. I say, because here's the story. 391 00:18:45,908 --> 00:18:49,348 Speaker 1: Jacksonville loses this game twenty three to twenty. Great season, guys, 392 00:18:49,468 --> 00:18:52,628 Speaker 1: great run, you made huge leaps and bounds improvements. Doug 393 00:18:52,628 --> 00:18:54,788 Speaker 1: Peters has got you going, and the future is bright. 394 00:18:55,748 --> 00:18:58,108 Speaker 1: Tennessee loses this game. They're seven and three team and 395 00:18:58,148 --> 00:19:00,108 Speaker 1: they would finish seven and ten. That's how this is 396 00:19:00,148 --> 00:19:02,628 Speaker 1: going to go. It's an all timer. This is also 397 00:19:03,708 --> 00:19:05,948 Speaker 1: the Aways had the numb one overall pick last year, 398 00:19:06,028 --> 00:19:09,268 Speaker 1: the Titans with the number one seed. So in one year, 399 00:19:09,468 --> 00:19:12,508 Speaker 1: you've gone and you've gone from just falling apart and 400 00:19:12,588 --> 00:19:14,588 Speaker 1: playing and I have that injuries and whatever that's football. 401 00:19:14,668 --> 00:19:18,148 Speaker 1: Football happens. Also pertaining to the matchup, I think the 402 00:19:18,228 --> 00:19:21,548 Speaker 1: Jaguars can win this game, and Lawrence's average, I really do. 403 00:19:22,108 --> 00:19:24,908 Speaker 1: If Henry's average, they might lose by two touchdowns. So 404 00:19:24,948 --> 00:19:26,628 Speaker 1: I think there's a lot of pressure on him is 405 00:19:26,628 --> 00:19:28,028 Speaker 1: not Maybe he won't be able to do a lot 406 00:19:28,028 --> 00:19:30,748 Speaker 1: about it because there'll be guys in the backfield, but 407 00:19:30,908 --> 00:19:33,468 Speaker 1: especially with his history against Jacksonville, which we've documented for 408 00:19:33,588 --> 00:19:35,148 Speaker 1: years on this show, I think it's Henry. I think 409 00:19:35,148 --> 00:19:38,028 Speaker 1: it's the King. The amount of pressure is directly related 410 00:19:38,068 --> 00:19:40,868 Speaker 1: to the weight of the backpack upon the shoulder that 411 00:19:40,948 --> 00:19:43,868 Speaker 1: the player carries, and that backpack is really heavy for 412 00:19:43,908 --> 00:19:45,748 Speaker 1: Derrick Henry. I mean, I think he has the entire 413 00:19:45,788 --> 00:19:49,028 Speaker 1: team right now on his one shoulder and his down 414 00:19:49,108 --> 00:19:51,828 Speaker 1: like this, like Trevor Lawrence. I mean, the Jaguars from 415 00:19:51,908 --> 00:19:55,508 Speaker 1: top to bottom are playing great. Josh Allen, Tyson, Campbell 416 00:19:55,548 --> 00:19:57,228 Speaker 1: and the defensive side of the ball. The Jags look 417 00:19:57,268 --> 00:20:00,588 Speaker 1: great against Tennessee or against Houston last week. I think 418 00:20:01,028 --> 00:20:03,228 Speaker 1: it's more spread out for the Jags. It's one guy. 419 00:20:03,228 --> 00:20:05,068 Speaker 1: I feel like that can write this offense. With the 420 00:20:05,068 --> 00:20:08,348 Speaker 1: Titans moving forward, more pressure on Tennessee, We're gonna shift 421 00:20:08,388 --> 00:20:10,188 Speaker 1: to the other side of the conference now, we're gonna 422 00:20:10,228 --> 00:20:13,508 Speaker 1: check out the NFC with just one spot open. It 423 00:20:13,548 --> 00:20:16,188 Speaker 1: all comes down to Sunday Night football at Lambeau when 424 00:20:16,188 --> 00:20:19,388 Speaker 1: the Packers play host the Lions. Both teams need to 425 00:20:19,428 --> 00:20:22,948 Speaker 1: win to get a spot, but the Lions also need 426 00:20:22,988 --> 00:20:25,028 Speaker 1: a little bit of help. They need the Seahawks to 427 00:20:25,108 --> 00:20:28,788 Speaker 1: lose to the Rams. Both teams, Packers and the Lions 428 00:20:28,788 --> 00:20:33,148 Speaker 1: have rookies who have incredible seasons. But we want to 429 00:20:33,148 --> 00:20:35,668 Speaker 1: know which rookie needs to have a bigger performance on Sunday. 430 00:20:35,908 --> 00:20:38,388 Speaker 1: Is it Aden Hutchinson new friend of the show, or 431 00:20:38,468 --> 00:20:40,708 Speaker 1: is it Christian Watson the wide receiver If we were 432 00:20:40,748 --> 00:20:43,428 Speaker 1: just waiting to get going and he really has now. Yeah. 433 00:20:44,548 --> 00:20:46,188 Speaker 1: I think with the Lions they need help, Like the 434 00:20:46,268 --> 00:20:49,948 Speaker 1: Lions need the Rams to shock the Seahawks. The Seahawks 435 00:20:49,948 --> 00:20:53,028 Speaker 1: are big favors at home, and yet last year the 436 00:20:53,628 --> 00:20:56,828 Speaker 1: Chargers and the Raiders needed somehow for the Colts to 437 00:20:56,948 --> 00:20:59,708 Speaker 1: beat the Jaguars, to beat the Colts in that week's 438 00:20:59,708 --> 00:21:02,228 Speaker 1: seventeen game and gains what they did. Like things happen, 439 00:21:02,748 --> 00:21:06,028 Speaker 1: It's almost like the these things happen for a reason 440 00:21:06,068 --> 00:21:08,628 Speaker 1: to make that Sunday night game even bigger. I think 441 00:21:08,908 --> 00:21:11,748 Speaker 1: there's a really good chance at the Rams do shock 442 00:21:11,828 --> 00:21:14,268 Speaker 1: the Seahawks with Bobby Wagner lean the way, and then 443 00:21:14,308 --> 00:21:17,348 Speaker 1: we go to Lambeau and I think if Aidan Hutchinson 444 00:21:17,348 --> 00:21:20,668 Speaker 1: can absolutely dominate that offensive line. And this is David 445 00:21:20,708 --> 00:21:23,628 Speaker 1: Bactieri back in the lineup, and the Packers offensive line 446 00:21:23,628 --> 00:21:26,028 Speaker 1: coming off maybe their most flawless performance of the season 447 00:21:26,108 --> 00:21:29,668 Speaker 1: last year last week. I think it's Hutchinson. I think 448 00:21:29,748 --> 00:21:32,068 Speaker 1: Hutchinson's the great disruptor in this game. If he can 449 00:21:32,108 --> 00:21:34,788 Speaker 1: get to Rogers early, if he can get Rogers office 450 00:21:34,828 --> 00:21:37,428 Speaker 1: spot early, I have no doubt Rogers is gonna be 451 00:21:37,428 --> 00:21:38,988 Speaker 1: able to hit Watson a few times. But when you 452 00:21:39,028 --> 00:21:42,068 Speaker 1: have Hutchinson living in the backfield the entire game, I 453 00:21:42,108 --> 00:21:44,748 Speaker 1: think it's a totally different story. It's not only Hutchinson. Know, 454 00:21:44,788 --> 00:21:47,628 Speaker 1: they have another rookie named James Houston, who I've loved 455 00:21:47,668 --> 00:21:50,268 Speaker 1: watching this season, a sixth round pick out of Jackson State. 456 00:21:50,588 --> 00:21:52,108 Speaker 1: The two of those guys are going to be all 457 00:21:52,188 --> 00:21:54,468 Speaker 1: up in Rogers's grill. If they can affect him, Detroit 458 00:21:54,508 --> 00:21:58,028 Speaker 1: stands a chance. If they can't, it's all Rogers all day. Yeah. 459 00:21:58,028 --> 00:22:00,228 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with Christian Watson on this. These teams 460 00:22:00,228 --> 00:22:03,868 Speaker 1: I've already played and the Detroit defense was balling, intercepting 461 00:22:03,908 --> 00:22:06,588 Speaker 1: Aaron rob just Aidan. Hutchinson was on the show earlier 462 00:22:06,668 --> 00:22:09,508 Speaker 1: talked about that interception that he got and him and 463 00:22:09,548 --> 00:22:11,988 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers gave him a little bit of a snarky comment. 464 00:22:12,268 --> 00:22:15,388 Speaker 1: I'm believing, playoff time, game on the line, season on 465 00:22:15,428 --> 00:22:18,028 Speaker 1: the line, We're gonna get a performance out of Aaron Rodgers. 466 00:22:18,068 --> 00:22:20,508 Speaker 1: In order to do so, We're gonna need a performance 467 00:22:20,508 --> 00:22:23,188 Speaker 1: out of Christian Watson, and this guy's been a quiet 468 00:22:23,228 --> 00:22:25,308 Speaker 1: as of late, hasn't scored a touchdown in the last 469 00:22:25,308 --> 00:22:28,748 Speaker 1: three games under fifty yards a game receiving. We're gonna 470 00:22:28,748 --> 00:22:31,348 Speaker 1: need him to step up huge on Sunday Night and 471 00:22:31,468 --> 00:22:33,748 Speaker 1: have a performance that we've seen him do towards the 472 00:22:33,828 --> 00:22:36,668 Speaker 1: latter part of this season after struggling early on. So 473 00:22:36,788 --> 00:22:39,228 Speaker 1: this young rookie, his speed and how he can get 474 00:22:39,268 --> 00:22:42,748 Speaker 1: behind this Detroit Lion secondary, that's what's gonna be needed 475 00:22:42,788 --> 00:22:44,868 Speaker 1: for Green Bay to punch their ticket and be able 476 00:22:44,868 --> 00:22:47,148 Speaker 1: to get into these playoffs. If the Seahawks lose to 477 00:22:47,188 --> 00:22:49,948 Speaker 1: the Rams, this Lions team is gonna be so fired up, 478 00:22:50,028 --> 00:22:52,028 Speaker 1: and Campbell's gonna be out of his mind to take 479 00:22:52,108 --> 00:22:54,908 Speaker 1: the field. And yet I think I think the answer 480 00:22:54,948 --> 00:22:57,988 Speaker 1: is gonna be Hutchinson as well. The Packers scored forty 481 00:22:58,028 --> 00:23:01,308 Speaker 1: one points last week and Watson had one catch, so 482 00:23:01,468 --> 00:23:04,308 Speaker 1: I think November was Watson Month and he brought them 483 00:23:04,468 --> 00:23:06,708 Speaker 1: to life. Like I think he electrified the offense and 484 00:23:06,748 --> 00:23:09,348 Speaker 1: got them off the Matt Rogerson life for sure, But 485 00:23:09,388 --> 00:23:11,148 Speaker 1: then it's not like it has not been the Watson 486 00:23:11,148 --> 00:23:13,668 Speaker 1: show for weeks and they're just winning and winning and winning. 487 00:23:13,908 --> 00:23:16,188 Speaker 1: I think you need the disruption rather than the lightning strike. 488 00:23:16,228 --> 00:23:17,748 Speaker 1: I think they can win this game and Watson doesn't 489 00:23:17,748 --> 00:23:20,308 Speaker 1: never catch, like Rodgers has really settled in. I don't 490 00:23:20,388 --> 00:23:22,188 Speaker 1: know if the Lions can win and Hutchinson is not 491 00:23:22,228 --> 00:23:25,028 Speaker 1: a factor. I think it's Hudsonson eten. Hudginson is the guy. 492 00:23:25,148 --> 00:23:26,588 Speaker 1: We get it. We hope he is going to be 493 00:23:26,628 --> 00:23:28,348 Speaker 1: the guy in Detroit for a really long time. But 494 00:23:28,588 --> 00:23:32,388 Speaker 1: I think Green Bay needs an answer this weekend next 495 00:23:32,388 --> 00:23:35,388 Speaker 1: season for the connection between Christian Watson and Aaron Rodgers 496 00:23:35,388 --> 00:23:38,228 Speaker 1: and does that exist? Is that electric? Does it carry 497 00:23:38,268 --> 00:23:40,428 Speaker 1: them into the off season and next year? I think 498 00:23:40,428 --> 00:23:42,108 Speaker 1: it has to be Christian Watson. Like I'm a big 499 00:23:42,108 --> 00:23:43,868 Speaker 1: make a name for yourself, especially as a rookie, I 500 00:23:43,908 --> 00:23:46,348 Speaker 1: feel like Aden Hudson has already done that. Christian Watson, 501 00:23:46,348 --> 00:23:48,108 Speaker 1: I need like a second act, if you will from 502 00:23:48,108 --> 00:23:50,508 Speaker 1: that November performance that we saw from him. I think 503 00:23:50,508 --> 00:23:52,588 Speaker 1: he is the difference maker this weekend. We'll be the 504 00:23:52,588 --> 00:23:55,788 Speaker 1: guy to step up hard game to pick really yeah, yeah, yeah, 505 00:23:55,828 --> 00:23:58,788 Speaker 1: it might not know how I know that's that's hard. 506 00:23:59,028 --> 00:24:02,228 Speaker 1: I think it might. Oh yeah, well we talked about 507 00:24:02,268 --> 00:24:05,588 Speaker 1: that earlier. Yeah, that's conference call we think about coming unmute. 508 00:24:05,668 --> 00:24:07,668 Speaker 1: We liked conference call. All right, here we come up. 509 00:24:08,668 --> 00:24:11,468 Speaker 1: She just got a little Christian McCaffrey deal for us. 510 00:24:11,508 --> 00:24:14,988 Speaker 1: He's gonna unload on the CMC narrative if you will. 511 00:24:15,068 --> 00:24:16,548 Speaker 1: Is it a good way to explain with Peter Shure, 512 00:24:16,708 --> 00:24:21,348 Speaker 1: He's take time to McCaffrey love some other topics as 513 00:24:21,388 --> 00:24:23,788 Speaker 1: we also in the same breath, are praying for Demarrow 514 00:24:23,788 --> 00:24:25,268 Speaker 1: handling for him to get well. So one of the 515 00:24:25,308 --> 00:24:28,228 Speaker 1: segments we put together was this one here where let's 516 00:24:28,228 --> 00:24:30,308 Speaker 1: talk about something else, talk about something that you're passionate 517 00:24:30,348 --> 00:24:32,068 Speaker 1: about that you would have had to take on had 518 00:24:32,108 --> 00:24:34,988 Speaker 1: this other stuff not been going on this week. And 519 00:24:35,308 --> 00:24:38,028 Speaker 1: one of them for me with Christian McCaffrey in the 520 00:24:38,068 --> 00:24:40,868 Speaker 1: Pro Bowl, what let me explain At twelve and four, 521 00:24:41,028 --> 00:24:42,628 Speaker 1: the forty nine ers are still in the hunt for 522 00:24:42,628 --> 00:24:45,108 Speaker 1: the number one seed, then he just a win over 523 00:24:45,148 --> 00:24:47,268 Speaker 1: the Cardinals and an Eagle's lost to the Giants to 524 00:24:47,308 --> 00:24:50,068 Speaker 1: get the all important first round by But that's not 525 00:24:50,108 --> 00:24:52,588 Speaker 1: where my head was at when we were talking about McCaffrey, 526 00:24:52,628 --> 00:24:55,748 Speaker 1: because lost in Sunday's Jared Stidham coming out party was 527 00:24:55,788 --> 00:24:59,788 Speaker 1: another incredible day from forty nine Ers running back CMC 528 00:25:00,268 --> 00:25:02,708 Speaker 1: and without much hubub and very little mention on our 529 00:25:02,748 --> 00:25:05,548 Speaker 1: Monday show, McCaffrey went out, just had a nineteen carry 530 00:25:05,548 --> 00:25:08,228 Speaker 1: one hundred and twenty one yard game, had a rushing touchdown. 531 00:25:08,228 --> 00:25:11,228 Speaker 1: He also caught six balls for seventy two yards. Gosh, 532 00:25:11,268 --> 00:25:13,708 Speaker 1: that's an awfully quiet one hundred and ninety three yards 533 00:25:13,788 --> 00:25:17,028 Speaker 1: from scrimmage. That didn't get a mention anywhere Monday on 534 00:25:17,068 --> 00:25:19,908 Speaker 1: any of the shows and wasn't even discussed here. But 535 00:25:20,028 --> 00:25:22,628 Speaker 1: McCaffrey's been doing it all seasons since he got to 536 00:25:22,668 --> 00:25:25,068 Speaker 1: San Francisco, So showing up in Week seven, he's ranked 537 00:25:25,108 --> 00:25:27,588 Speaker 1: fourth and scrimmage yards in the NFL this year. The 538 00:25:27,668 --> 00:25:29,588 Speaker 1: week after week he's doing more and more and more 539 00:25:29,628 --> 00:25:32,228 Speaker 1: for the number two seed forty nine Ers amidst a 540 00:25:32,468 --> 00:25:34,548 Speaker 1: nine game winning streak. Oh, by the way, they've got 541 00:25:34,588 --> 00:25:36,668 Speaker 1: a rookie quarterback, oh In Deebo Samuel's not on the 542 00:25:36,708 --> 00:25:40,348 Speaker 1: field yet. Christian McCaffrey didn't make the Pro Bowl. He 543 00:25:40,388 --> 00:25:42,468 Speaker 1: was shut out. Take a look at the other NFC 544 00:25:42,628 --> 00:25:45,228 Speaker 1: backs that did. All good players. Look nothing to take 545 00:25:45,228 --> 00:25:48,068 Speaker 1: away from sae Quon or Tony Pollard or Miles Sanders. 546 00:25:48,228 --> 00:25:50,708 Speaker 1: But I would argue that Christian McCaffrey on the whole 547 00:25:50,748 --> 00:25:53,708 Speaker 1: has been as good, if not better than all those guys. 548 00:25:53,708 --> 00:25:56,468 Speaker 1: Has anyone played bigger and in bigger spots than in 549 00:25:56,628 --> 00:26:00,388 Speaker 1: McCaffrey the last few weeks? So who cares? Right? Who cares? Well? 550 00:26:00,388 --> 00:26:03,708 Speaker 1: The players do, because forget the experience of the Pro Bowl, 551 00:26:03,828 --> 00:26:06,708 Speaker 1: roll in money that they make for making it or 552 00:26:06,748 --> 00:26:09,588 Speaker 1: winning the game, and the adulation. But when the NFL 553 00:26:09,588 --> 00:26:12,748 Speaker 1: announced the Hall of Fame finalists last night, the first 554 00:26:12,788 --> 00:26:16,108 Speaker 1: item on every finalist resume was Pro Bowl experiences and 555 00:26:16,228 --> 00:26:19,108 Speaker 1: Pro Bowl appearances and whether the game or it's now 556 00:26:19,108 --> 00:26:22,228 Speaker 1: the Pro Bowl games, if you will, whether that matters, 557 00:26:22,468 --> 00:26:23,988 Speaker 1: and I know we all as a collective or we 558 00:26:24,108 --> 00:26:26,268 Speaker 1: hate the Pro Bowl. Well, the honor of making the 559 00:26:26,348 --> 00:26:29,828 Speaker 1: Pro Bowl very much matters. And if McCaffrey wants to 560 00:26:29,868 --> 00:26:32,188 Speaker 1: someday go to the Hall of Fame, and I'm sure 561 00:26:32,268 --> 00:26:34,388 Speaker 1: that guy someday wants to go to the Hall of Fame. 562 00:26:34,828 --> 00:26:37,748 Speaker 1: Pro Bowl appearances matter on the resume, and this year 563 00:26:38,108 --> 00:26:41,108 Speaker 1: he got a goose egg. So what's my big beef here? Well, 564 00:26:41,268 --> 00:26:43,788 Speaker 1: he's a top ten pick from a football family with 565 00:26:43,948 --> 00:26:46,868 Speaker 1: a Stanford education, and he's got a beautiful Miss Universe 566 00:26:46,948 --> 00:26:49,468 Speaker 1: girl friend. Life is good for Christian McCaffrey. Don't get it, 567 00:26:49,988 --> 00:26:52,908 Speaker 1: but he didn't get the Pro Bowl bid, and it's 568 00:26:52,948 --> 00:26:56,428 Speaker 1: they picked the Pro Bowl contestants in Week sixteen with 569 00:26:56,588 --> 00:26:58,588 Speaker 1: three weeks left, with a lot of football will be 570 00:26:58,588 --> 00:27:00,588 Speaker 1: played if they were to take a pole the players 571 00:27:00,588 --> 00:27:03,588 Speaker 1: and the GMS now or after Week eighteen. I think 572 00:27:03,668 --> 00:27:07,148 Speaker 1: McCaffrey makes I honestly do, and he's not alone. There's 573 00:27:07,148 --> 00:27:09,268 Speaker 1: probably a dozen players that have saved their best for 574 00:27:09,388 --> 00:27:12,308 Speaker 1: last one. It matters most. So why shouldn't those guys, 575 00:27:12,348 --> 00:27:15,908 Speaker 1: the guys who have huge days sixteen, seventeen eighteen in 576 00:27:15,908 --> 00:27:18,908 Speaker 1: those weeks get a chance to make the Pro Bowl? 577 00:27:19,108 --> 00:27:21,868 Speaker 1: Why don't those performances count. I may be an old 578 00:27:21,868 --> 00:27:24,628 Speaker 1: man yelling at a cloud, you know, the Simpsons gift, 579 00:27:24,828 --> 00:27:27,388 Speaker 1: but I can also see myself as that same old 580 00:27:27,428 --> 00:27:29,948 Speaker 1: man yelling at a cloud of Hall of Fame voters 581 00:27:29,948 --> 00:27:32,308 Speaker 1: fifteen years from now and saying, don't you get Christian 582 00:27:32,348 --> 00:27:34,988 Speaker 1: McCaffrey in twenty twenty two should have made it, But 583 00:27:34,988 --> 00:27:37,468 Speaker 1: we voted in week sixteen and by the time it 584 00:27:37,188 --> 00:27:40,188 Speaker 1: was Here's my point, I think the Pro Bowl should 585 00:27:40,188 --> 00:27:42,948 Speaker 1: be voted after the season. I think McCaffrey's just won 586 00:27:42,988 --> 00:27:45,708 Speaker 1: a several guys that might be in the game and 587 00:27:45,788 --> 00:27:47,988 Speaker 1: might have gotten that honor had we voted after the 588 00:27:47,988 --> 00:27:50,548 Speaker 1: regular season. When what's the rush? I know this seems 589 00:27:50,628 --> 00:27:53,308 Speaker 1: very odd and out of place, but it does matter 590 00:27:53,348 --> 00:27:55,108 Speaker 1: when it comes to those Hall of Fame voters, and 591 00:27:55,188 --> 00:27:56,748 Speaker 1: it does matter when we come to talking about a 592 00:27:56,748 --> 00:27:59,628 Speaker 1: player's legacy. Christian McCaffrey right now is five years into 593 00:27:59,628 --> 00:28:02,788 Speaker 1: his league career. It's made the Pro Bowl once. That's 594 00:28:02,868 --> 00:28:05,708 Speaker 1: not a Hall of Fame career. Yet he might have 595 00:28:05,708 --> 00:28:07,548 Speaker 1: an argument someday and that might be what holds it back. 596 00:28:07,548 --> 00:28:10,548 Speaker 1: So what do you guys think Pro Bowl voting? What's 597 00:28:10,548 --> 00:28:13,988 Speaker 1: the rush to? Due to Pro Bowl voting results show 598 00:28:13,988 --> 00:28:15,828 Speaker 1: in Week sixteen, why can't we just save it to 599 00:28:15,908 --> 00:28:17,748 Speaker 1: the end of the regular season. Because McCaffrey, no doubt 600 00:28:17,748 --> 00:28:19,388 Speaker 1: would make the team. If we did it now, I 601 00:28:19,388 --> 00:28:21,948 Speaker 1: feel like we could do a whole show on Pro 602 00:28:22,028 --> 00:28:24,588 Speaker 1: Bowl voting. And I'm not talking about when it's voting 603 00:28:24,588 --> 00:28:27,268 Speaker 1: at all, but how it's voted on, in the whole nine, 604 00:28:27,308 --> 00:28:30,188 Speaker 1: the whole experience of it all. And I hate to 605 00:28:30,228 --> 00:28:32,068 Speaker 1: bring my brother up as an example. I don't like 606 00:28:32,108 --> 00:28:34,068 Speaker 1: to be that guy like always talking about your brother, 607 00:28:34,108 --> 00:28:35,988 Speaker 1: but I think if you look him up, as think 608 00:28:36,108 --> 00:28:38,988 Speaker 1: is maybe two Pro Bowl appearances, but he's been an 609 00:28:39,028 --> 00:28:41,468 Speaker 1: alternate in the Pro Bowl where he would have gone, 610 00:28:41,708 --> 00:28:43,748 Speaker 1: but they were playing in the Super Bowl. So when 611 00:28:43,788 --> 00:28:46,948 Speaker 1: you talk about career attributes and all of those things, 612 00:28:46,988 --> 00:28:48,668 Speaker 1: some of that comes up. And I think on top 613 00:28:48,708 --> 00:28:51,948 Speaker 1: of that, beyond just a Hall of Fame resume. When 614 00:28:51,948 --> 00:28:55,508 Speaker 1: you talk contracts, the Pro Bowl comes up, guys having 615 00:28:55,588 --> 00:28:58,668 Speaker 1: centives based on Pro Bowls. So the voting of it 616 00:28:58,468 --> 00:29:01,468 Speaker 1: and just the importance of it, whether it's after the season, 617 00:29:01,588 --> 00:29:04,868 Speaker 1: who's voting, how the votes count, all of that comes 618 00:29:04,868 --> 00:29:07,188 Speaker 1: into play because it is more than just all right, 619 00:29:07,228 --> 00:29:09,468 Speaker 1: I get to go play in the game or games 620 00:29:09,508 --> 00:29:11,948 Speaker 1: this year and means something to a contract and for 621 00:29:12,028 --> 00:29:16,388 Speaker 1: guys moving forward, would you indulge me a ludicrous hypothetical. Yeah, 622 00:29:16,428 --> 00:29:20,028 Speaker 1: all right, the Cowboys make the Super Bowl, Tony Pollard 623 00:29:20,068 --> 00:29:22,428 Speaker 1: can't play in the game, McCaffrey plays it. Does that 624 00:29:22,508 --> 00:29:24,428 Speaker 1: now go in his resume? And I don't think it 625 00:29:24,428 --> 00:29:26,308 Speaker 1: counts the same way he plays in the Pro Bowl 626 00:29:26,308 --> 00:29:27,988 Speaker 1: though I think it's an asterisk. He's a Pro Bowl 627 00:29:27,988 --> 00:29:29,868 Speaker 1: alternate doesn't make you feel any better than he's a 628 00:29:29,868 --> 00:29:32,108 Speaker 1: two time All Pro because that to me, Pro bowls, 629 00:29:32,148 --> 00:29:34,948 Speaker 1: child's play all Pro gets you in the Hall. Yeah, 630 00:29:34,988 --> 00:29:38,468 Speaker 1: Demario talking about that, I'm saying before he was a 631 00:29:38,468 --> 00:29:41,428 Speaker 1: Pro Bowl three times. That's what gets you in the Hall, buddy, 632 00:29:41,548 --> 00:29:43,188 Speaker 1: That's what I feel. Yeah, Yeah, I think I take 633 00:29:43,228 --> 00:29:45,628 Speaker 1: issue with the people that make the graphics. Don't well 634 00:29:45,668 --> 00:29:48,028 Speaker 1: put that up there, but their most important thing if 635 00:29:48,028 --> 00:29:51,308 Speaker 1: he if he has all this litany of statistical proof 636 00:29:51,308 --> 00:29:53,428 Speaker 1: as to why and X many years from now who 637 00:29:53,428 --> 00:29:55,108 Speaker 1: should be in the Hall of Fame, put those things 638 00:29:55,148 --> 00:29:57,548 Speaker 1: up there and essentially like shame on the people that 639 00:29:57,588 --> 00:30:00,028 Speaker 1: didn't have the wherewithal within a season to reals what 640 00:30:00,148 --> 00:30:02,388 Speaker 1: he's doing. Also just like shout out something new this 641 00:30:02,428 --> 00:30:04,268 Speaker 1: year or too where players are voting to come up 642 00:30:04,268 --> 00:30:07,348 Speaker 1: with their own team as well a vote they'll be 643 00:30:07,388 --> 00:30:09,948 Speaker 1: interested to see now where that ranks as the year 644 00:30:09,948 --> 00:30:10,308 Speaker 1: has come
