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 --> 00:00:26,268 Speaker 1: partnership with iHeartRadio. Hey, I'll go to Good Morning Football 3 00:00:26,308 --> 00:00:28,388 Speaker 1: for center my old trapper Beef Jerkey live here in 4 00:00:28,388 --> 00:00:31,108 Speaker 1: New York City. It's Monday, December twelfth. I'm Jamie Yardoll. 5 00:00:31,108 --> 00:00:34,868 Speaker 1: It's Kyle Brant, Peter Tregor, Jason mccordy. It's so beautiful 6 00:00:34,988 --> 00:00:36,908 Speaker 1: when a full song can just get you hyped from 7 00:00:36,908 --> 00:00:39,148 Speaker 1: a whole day of football yesterday, Jay, what's your day 8 00:00:39,148 --> 00:00:41,108 Speaker 1: looked like? Watching more games? We'll caught your eye. I 9 00:00:41,148 --> 00:00:43,268 Speaker 1: was watching the games as I was taking part of 10 00:00:43,308 --> 00:00:46,268 Speaker 1: my son's birthday party. It was kids are plenty, as 11 00:00:46,308 --> 00:00:48,668 Speaker 1: you would say. So I'm very happy to be here 12 00:00:48,668 --> 00:00:51,468 Speaker 1: at this breakfast table with all adults on this early 13 00:00:51,508 --> 00:00:55,068 Speaker 1: Monday morning, having very mature conversation about throngs of fans. 14 00:00:55,148 --> 00:00:57,508 Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, I love the word throngs. Get to the 15 00:00:57,588 --> 00:00:59,268 Speaker 1: lead block and a full network inside. Are you in 16 00:00:59,348 --> 00:01:02,228 Speaker 1: rapport joining us? Now? Bad news? Yesterday we saw Deebo 17 00:01:02,268 --> 00:01:04,068 Speaker 1: Samuel go down. He gets carted off. He was very 18 00:01:04,388 --> 00:01:06,828 Speaker 1: oal the team surrounded him. It's always a really tough 19 00:01:06,868 --> 00:01:09,388 Speaker 1: sign to see. But what's the outlook this morning? You 20 00:01:09,468 --> 00:01:11,748 Speaker 1: sort of learned to not judge an injury by the 21 00:01:11,868 --> 00:01:13,948 Speaker 1: reaction from the player, but just kind of take a 22 00:01:13,948 --> 00:01:15,508 Speaker 1: little bit of a breath, And I would say that 23 00:01:15,628 --> 00:01:18,228 Speaker 1: was very helpful in this situation because you look at 24 00:01:18,268 --> 00:01:21,628 Speaker 1: Deebo Samuel, it seemed like he was getting emotional, was 25 00:01:21,708 --> 00:01:24,468 Speaker 1: hurt coming off the field on the cart. Seemed like 26 00:01:24,508 --> 00:01:27,708 Speaker 1: a significant injury. And he's expected to be if the 27 00:01:27,828 --> 00:01:31,108 Speaker 1: MRI confirms a high ankle spring, which McCall shannon said, 28 00:01:31,348 --> 00:01:34,148 Speaker 1: expected to be out about a month, so not insignificant, 29 00:01:34,188 --> 00:01:36,788 Speaker 1: but certainly not the kind of season ending thing that 30 00:01:36,868 --> 00:01:39,228 Speaker 1: it appeared when he ran through the line, got twisted 31 00:01:39,308 --> 00:01:41,868 Speaker 1: up and appeared to be in significant pain. So Deebo 32 00:01:41,908 --> 00:01:45,068 Speaker 1: Samuel going to get an MRI today, But as I mentioned, 33 00:01:45,068 --> 00:01:47,908 Speaker 1: the thought is that it's high ankle. Generally those are 34 00:01:47,988 --> 00:01:51,668 Speaker 1: four to six week injuries. From yesterday to the first 35 00:01:51,748 --> 00:01:53,908 Speaker 1: round of the playoffs it is five weeks. So if 36 00:01:53,988 --> 00:01:56,188 Speaker 1: all goes well, if it is what they think, that 37 00:01:56,308 --> 00:01:59,188 Speaker 1: Deebo Samuel should be on the field for the playoffs 38 00:01:59,268 --> 00:02:01,068 Speaker 1: for the forty nine ers, which of course is the 39 00:02:01,068 --> 00:02:03,868 Speaker 1: most important thing ian. The forty nine ers have just 40 00:02:03,868 --> 00:02:07,188 Speaker 1: been old with injuries this season, yet they still sit 41 00:02:07,268 --> 00:02:10,348 Speaker 1: atop their division. They still look fantastic how they are 42 00:02:10,388 --> 00:02:13,388 Speaker 1: doing this very talented team, well coached. Forty nine ers 43 00:02:13,468 --> 00:02:16,028 Speaker 1: look really good. Luck to them, Ian Rapport, Thank you 44 00:02:16,108 --> 00:02:17,988 Speaker 1: very much. Talk to you a little bit later on 45 00:02:18,148 --> 00:02:20,668 Speaker 1: a lot of huge games yesterday, Kyle, you gotta pick 46 00:02:20,748 --> 00:02:23,828 Speaker 1: one which team made the loudest statement in your book? 47 00:02:23,908 --> 00:02:26,868 Speaker 1: From Sunday, Sancisco forty nine Ers over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. 48 00:02:27,028 --> 00:02:29,348 Speaker 1: A couple of weeks back, Jimmy Garoppolo goes out and 49 00:02:29,428 --> 00:02:33,028 Speaker 1: there is a sense of relief amongst the NFC contenders. 50 00:02:33,068 --> 00:02:34,628 Speaker 1: You hate to see Jimmy get hurt, but okay, well 51 00:02:34,628 --> 00:02:37,228 Speaker 1: they don't have to worry about the Niners anymore. Fast forward. 52 00:02:37,228 --> 00:02:39,148 Speaker 1: This week is our crap. I guess I can play. 53 00:02:39,348 --> 00:02:40,788 Speaker 1: We were kinda hoping he would fall in his face. 54 00:02:40,788 --> 00:02:42,268 Speaker 1: We don't have to worry about this team. And in 55 00:02:43,348 --> 00:02:46,628 Speaker 1: January or February wherever they come from, look to the part. 56 00:02:46,748 --> 00:02:49,748 Speaker 1: Look totally unafraid. The throws are great, the body language 57 00:02:49,788 --> 00:02:52,148 Speaker 1: is even better. I said this earlier in the show. 58 00:02:52,548 --> 00:02:55,308 Speaker 1: They cut to other action on Fox because Rock Party 59 00:02:55,348 --> 00:02:57,748 Speaker 1: was beating Tom Brady so bad. Rock Party was pulled 60 00:02:57,788 --> 00:03:00,708 Speaker 1: from this game, they took them out. They say, Josh Johnson, 61 00:03:00,748 --> 00:03:02,668 Speaker 1: get in there, like that's how much they were beating them. 62 00:03:02,788 --> 00:03:05,428 Speaker 1: And I posed the question to our research. Has Tom 63 00:03:05,468 --> 00:03:08,108 Speaker 1: Brady ever been on the receiving end of a Kurt 64 00:03:08,188 --> 00:03:10,708 Speaker 1: menifee or James Brown coming out and saying, folks, we're 65 00:03:10,708 --> 00:03:13,508 Speaker 1: gonna cut to other action. It has never happened. The 66 00:03:13,548 --> 00:03:15,748 Speaker 1: worst this is the third worst regular season lost with 67 00:03:15,788 --> 00:03:17,868 Speaker 1: Tom Brady's creed. The worst ever was in twenty twenty 68 00:03:17,868 --> 00:03:19,868 Speaker 1: to the saintshere I lost by five touchdowns, but that 69 00:03:19,908 --> 00:03:21,588 Speaker 1: was a Sunday night football, so there ain't no other 70 00:03:21,588 --> 00:03:24,028 Speaker 1: action to come to unless you told us some CSI 71 00:03:24,068 --> 00:03:25,788 Speaker 1: show or something. But no, they didn't do it. So 72 00:03:25,988 --> 00:03:29,068 Speaker 1: it's never happened to Brady before. That's how good party was. 73 00:03:29,108 --> 00:03:31,388 Speaker 1: That's good the Naters defenses. I think I was most 74 00:03:31,428 --> 00:03:32,748 Speaker 1: impressed by them, and I would like the four of 75 00:03:32,828 --> 00:03:34,188 Speaker 1: us to come together, see if you guys are in 76 00:03:34,228 --> 00:03:36,508 Speaker 1: on this. I would like us to make an agreement 77 00:03:36,548 --> 00:03:38,028 Speaker 1: as a show that we are not going to bring 78 00:03:38,108 --> 00:03:40,388 Speaker 1: up the mister irrelevant thing. I'm kind of over it. 79 00:03:40,388 --> 00:03:42,828 Speaker 1: It's already completely played. We've had a whole week of 80 00:03:42,868 --> 00:03:44,788 Speaker 1: pointing out that he was the last person in the draft, 81 00:03:44,788 --> 00:03:47,668 Speaker 1: and it is interesting in his material, but we don't 82 00:03:47,668 --> 00:03:49,268 Speaker 1: have to mention it every time it comes up. It 83 00:03:49,348 --> 00:03:51,748 Speaker 1: is already becoming this. Ryan Fitzpatrick went to Hartford thing 84 00:03:51,788 --> 00:03:55,068 Speaker 1: or Antonio gets played basketball? Are you and Jamie Jason 85 00:03:55,428 --> 00:03:57,748 Speaker 1: Peter I'm so in. I'm fine, He's more than that. 86 00:03:57,828 --> 00:04:00,188 Speaker 1: We will not mention the term mister irrelevant as a 87 00:04:00,228 --> 00:04:02,388 Speaker 1: program as it relates to brock Party because his play 88 00:04:02,388 --> 00:04:03,788 Speaker 1: has been that good and he's on a hell of 89 00:04:03,788 --> 00:04:06,108 Speaker 1: the team. Yeah, sure is. And you know, the story 90 00:04:06,228 --> 00:04:08,468 Speaker 1: was that his family was there, but the next level 91 00:04:08,468 --> 00:04:10,388 Speaker 1: of it was his family was there because before the 92 00:04:10,428 --> 00:04:12,228 Speaker 1: season they wanted to see Tom Brady play. And the 93 00:04:12,468 --> 00:04:14,668 Speaker 1: tickets no joke, because that's why they're we're gonna make 94 00:04:14,668 --> 00:04:16,988 Speaker 1: one trip out. They bought tickets and it just happened 95 00:04:16,988 --> 00:04:19,068 Speaker 1: that their son was starting in their first game. The 96 00:04:19,108 --> 00:04:22,468 Speaker 1: Purdies had an awesome day and the Niners are are 97 00:04:22,508 --> 00:04:25,588 Speaker 1: seriously making a statement. But my statement win was the Eagles. 98 00:04:26,108 --> 00:04:27,828 Speaker 1: You know, maybe I'm just being biased because I was 99 00:04:27,868 --> 00:04:30,108 Speaker 1: there in the building, but you felt just like a 100 00:04:30,228 --> 00:04:33,668 Speaker 1: stampede coming once they walked into that building. Their fan 101 00:04:33,748 --> 00:04:36,188 Speaker 1: base traveled well, they were all there in the crowd, 102 00:04:36,268 --> 00:04:38,748 Speaker 1: and then the second this game started, it was it 103 00:04:38,828 --> 00:04:41,548 Speaker 1: was all Eagles from going the Giants. This isn't a 104 00:04:41,668 --> 00:04:44,428 Speaker 1: four and seven Giants team that's like, you know, got 105 00:04:44,468 --> 00:04:46,268 Speaker 1: nothing to fight for and just wants to play spoiler. 106 00:04:46,548 --> 00:04:48,988 Speaker 1: The Giants are playing for their playoff lives here, and 107 00:04:49,028 --> 00:04:51,268 Speaker 1: it was like they didn't belong on the same field 108 00:04:51,268 --> 00:04:54,108 Speaker 1: as the Eagles, Philly. You want to run it down 109 00:04:54,148 --> 00:04:57,148 Speaker 1: our throats, they'll do that. You want to throw it 110 00:04:57,148 --> 00:04:59,068 Speaker 1: through the air, they'll do that. You want to sack 111 00:04:59,108 --> 00:05:02,948 Speaker 1: the quarterback, they'll do that. Special teams excellent. Yesterday they 112 00:05:02,948 --> 00:05:05,348 Speaker 1: sacked Daniel Jones on the first two plays, two of 113 00:05:05,348 --> 00:05:07,148 Speaker 1: the first three plays of the game, and they came 114 00:05:07,148 --> 00:05:10,028 Speaker 1: out just throwing Jason. You mentioned it. Fourth and seven, 115 00:05:10,868 --> 00:05:13,588 Speaker 1: they're up seven nothing, they decide let's go for it, 116 00:05:13,748 --> 00:05:15,588 Speaker 1: let's go for it, and they throw a touchdown past 117 00:05:15,628 --> 00:05:18,188 Speaker 1: and Devant they smith. That is aggressive play calling. I 118 00:05:18,228 --> 00:05:20,068 Speaker 1: said it earlier the show. They are one of those 119 00:05:20,108 --> 00:05:22,868 Speaker 1: teams you see off the bus and you're like, whoa, 120 00:05:22,948 --> 00:05:26,868 Speaker 1: my Alatta is huge. Dominican Sue is still a Dominicans Sue. 121 00:05:26,868 --> 00:05:29,268 Speaker 1: Oh gosh, they still have Fletcher Cox. Oh, and there 122 00:05:29,268 --> 00:05:33,068 Speaker 1: comes Lane Johnson and Jason Kelsey and Landon Dickers and 123 00:05:33,108 --> 00:05:34,948 Speaker 1: the best the rest of the big boys. Oh, then 124 00:05:34,988 --> 00:05:37,668 Speaker 1: they've got these feeds are like they are stacked. The 125 00:05:37,708 --> 00:05:39,748 Speaker 1: Eagles made a statement yesterday that was supposed to be 126 00:05:39,788 --> 00:05:42,308 Speaker 1: like a big game. Fox set their number two crew, 127 00:05:42,388 --> 00:05:45,428 Speaker 1: everyone's gonna watch. Guess what they left that action. Also, 128 00:05:45,468 --> 00:05:47,428 Speaker 1: they went to Houston and they went to see Houston 129 00:05:47,468 --> 00:05:49,748 Speaker 1: dolls too. So Eagles and Niners might be on a 130 00:05:49,788 --> 00:05:51,628 Speaker 1: collision course right now. If the Cowboys might have to 131 00:05:51,628 --> 00:05:54,148 Speaker 1: send them this say, but like, Eagles to me, like 132 00:05:54,628 --> 00:05:57,908 Speaker 1: really really dominant yesterday and they've got the Bears and 133 00:05:57,908 --> 00:05:59,708 Speaker 1: then the Cowboys the following week, they might be on 134 00:05:59,748 --> 00:06:02,468 Speaker 1: the same track. Yeah, forty Niners and Eagles were really dominant. 135 00:06:02,508 --> 00:06:04,708 Speaker 1: But I'm going to another team in the NFC. I'm 136 00:06:04,748 --> 00:06:07,948 Speaker 1: going with the Carolina Pama. They won a game, and 137 00:06:08,068 --> 00:06:09,668 Speaker 1: Kyle this has been his team. He picked them out 138 00:06:09,668 --> 00:06:11,988 Speaker 1: in the division. They put themselves right here in the 139 00:06:11,988 --> 00:06:14,988 Speaker 1: spot where they went out. They win their division and 140 00:06:15,028 --> 00:06:17,828 Speaker 1: they are in the playoffs. And this is their remaining 141 00:06:17,828 --> 00:06:21,948 Speaker 1: schedule right Steelers, Lions, Bucks, and Saints. They're finishing with 142 00:06:22,108 --> 00:06:24,828 Speaker 1: two of the teams right there in the division. A 143 00:06:24,868 --> 00:06:27,828 Speaker 1: great opportunity for this football team that when you look 144 00:06:27,828 --> 00:06:30,668 Speaker 1: at it, at one point that fired their coach, traded 145 00:06:30,708 --> 00:06:33,708 Speaker 1: away their best player. They just released Baker Mayfield. We 146 00:06:33,708 --> 00:06:37,028 Speaker 1: were looking at Robbie Anderson on the sideline after Steve Wilkes. 147 00:06:37,148 --> 00:06:40,148 Speaker 1: Wilkes took over, Kyle said, he takes off in the 148 00:06:40,188 --> 00:06:42,948 Speaker 1: locker room. It was just like, my goodness, everything that 149 00:06:42,988 --> 00:06:46,228 Speaker 1: could have went wrong had gone wrong for the Carolina Panthers. 150 00:06:46,268 --> 00:06:48,548 Speaker 1: Steve Wilkes takes over. They won three out of their 151 00:06:48,628 --> 00:06:52,148 Speaker 1: last four. He's handled the quarterback situation. One week has 152 00:06:52,188 --> 00:06:55,228 Speaker 1: been PJ. Walkers and Baker Mayfield. Sam Donald's two and 153 00:06:55,348 --> 00:06:58,708 Speaker 1: no as a starter for the Carolina Panthers. Who would 154 00:06:58,708 --> 00:07:02,268 Speaker 1: have thought halfway through the season that we'd be saying, hey, Carolina, 155 00:07:02,308 --> 00:07:04,548 Speaker 1: they have a chance to win this division and be 156 00:07:04,708 --> 00:07:07,948 Speaker 1: in the playoffs, host a playoff game possible. So but 157 00:07:08,108 --> 00:07:10,668 Speaker 1: a Carolina fans, it was an impressive win because they 158 00:07:10,708 --> 00:07:13,028 Speaker 1: put them rate in the position they need to be 159 00:07:13,148 --> 00:07:16,388 Speaker 1: in the driversy to control their own destiny, a great 160 00:07:16,388 --> 00:07:18,508 Speaker 1: spot to be at. Disapoint in the sea asolutely controlling 161 00:07:18,508 --> 00:07:21,188 Speaker 1: your own destiny is hard when you have some hiccups 162 00:07:21,188 --> 00:07:23,748 Speaker 1: to start your season, which that's where my team started. 163 00:07:23,948 --> 00:07:27,428 Speaker 1: The Bengals were five hundred through eight weeks of play. 164 00:07:27,748 --> 00:07:30,788 Speaker 1: Now they've won five games straight, and I don't think 165 00:07:30,788 --> 00:07:32,308 Speaker 1: this is a team if you want to face down 166 00:07:32,308 --> 00:07:35,068 Speaker 1: the stretch. Here's who they have to face and look 167 00:07:35,108 --> 00:07:38,628 Speaker 1: at upwards. I'm talking up at the Baltimore Ravens. Because 168 00:07:38,628 --> 00:07:41,028 Speaker 1: the Ravens beat him, they hold the tiebreaker. So the 169 00:07:41,028 --> 00:07:44,828 Speaker 1: Bengals winners of five games straight, thanks in large part 170 00:07:45,028 --> 00:07:48,188 Speaker 1: to Joe Burrow and his return of his wide receivers 171 00:07:48,188 --> 00:07:51,148 Speaker 1: in Jamar Chase in particular from injury. Jamar Chase look 172 00:07:51,188 --> 00:07:53,708 Speaker 1: really good yesterday ten catches, one hundred and twenty yards, 173 00:07:54,188 --> 00:07:57,188 Speaker 1: but that's because Tyler Boyd and t Higgins were hurt yesterday. 174 00:07:57,388 --> 00:07:59,988 Speaker 1: He has to go out against the Browns defense that 175 00:08:00,068 --> 00:08:02,588 Speaker 1: have had the Bengals number as of late and find 176 00:08:02,668 --> 00:08:06,228 Speaker 1: Jamar Chase one after another after another, and they looked great. 177 00:08:06,548 --> 00:08:08,348 Speaker 1: This team, I think looks good. And the fact that 178 00:08:08,348 --> 00:08:10,508 Speaker 1: they won a game like that against a team that 179 00:08:10,828 --> 00:08:12,708 Speaker 1: could have shook them the way the Bengals have the 180 00:08:12,748 --> 00:08:15,268 Speaker 1: chief show up a little bit. Didn't happen against the Browns. 181 00:08:15,348 --> 00:08:18,308 Speaker 1: Joe Burrow rose above. Joe Mixon returned to action. He 182 00:08:18,388 --> 00:08:20,828 Speaker 1: looked great too. The Bengals are really impressive, but I 183 00:08:20,868 --> 00:08:23,468 Speaker 1: just find how powerfully they're playing right now really fascinating 184 00:08:23,508 --> 00:08:25,508 Speaker 1: the fact that they still are in a wildcard spot, 185 00:08:25,828 --> 00:08:28,668 Speaker 1: not lurking, but still behind the Ravens smack in the 186 00:08:28,668 --> 00:08:30,508 Speaker 1: wild card, but a really good and kind of a 187 00:08:30,508 --> 00:08:33,148 Speaker 1: scary team in the wild card, very scary. Ravens had 188 00:08:33,188 --> 00:08:35,628 Speaker 1: a huge win. I want to ask Chargers last night, 189 00:08:35,828 --> 00:08:38,748 Speaker 1: big win obviously in the playoff picture, to be come 190 00:08:38,788 --> 00:08:41,628 Speaker 1: away thinking, all right, that was the statement game for 191 00:08:41,668 --> 00:08:44,628 Speaker 1: the Chargers because we have as a collective show been 192 00:08:44,628 --> 00:08:46,108 Speaker 1: like they've dropped the ball in all these big games, 193 00:08:46,108 --> 00:08:48,028 Speaker 1: and yet that was a huge victory. But I don't 194 00:08:48,028 --> 00:08:51,148 Speaker 1: know this morning, do you feel like Chargers now? No? 195 00:08:52,068 --> 00:08:55,068 Speaker 1: I feel like that last wildcard spot in the AFC 196 00:08:55,308 --> 00:08:58,388 Speaker 1: is like a huge question mark. Now New England plays tonight. 197 00:08:58,428 --> 00:09:00,468 Speaker 1: If they win the game, they're gonna jump right back 198 00:09:00,508 --> 00:09:02,428 Speaker 1: up into that wild car spot. So it was just like, 199 00:09:02,628 --> 00:09:04,708 Speaker 1: isn't New England have they done in that? For me 200 00:09:04,748 --> 00:09:07,308 Speaker 1: to say, like, so, it's tough right now, but I'm 201 00:09:07,348 --> 00:09:09,468 Speaker 1: not all in on a Chargers. There's a scale when 202 00:09:09,468 --> 00:09:12,228 Speaker 1: it's in primetime of like how you win, who you played, 203 00:09:12,228 --> 00:09:14,468 Speaker 1: and how they were playing, And the Dolphins are just 204 00:09:14,548 --> 00:09:16,988 Speaker 1: not playing well right now, and so a Chargers win 205 00:09:17,028 --> 00:09:18,948 Speaker 1: to me would have been really convincing if like to 206 00:09:19,068 --> 00:09:23,628 Speaker 1: a win off and Tyreek went off just kind of limited. 207 00:09:24,228 --> 00:09:26,548 Speaker 1: I want the game where the defense dominates. Well, sure, 208 00:09:26,588 --> 00:09:28,348 Speaker 1: but but if the defense is dominated, it would have 209 00:09:28,388 --> 00:09:30,148 Speaker 1: been great if the Dolphins were playing the way that 210 00:09:30,188 --> 00:09:31,628 Speaker 1: we had seen them, but they had not. They had 211 00:09:31,628 --> 00:09:33,508 Speaker 1: just lost the forty nine Ers, And so that's why 212 00:09:33,548 --> 00:09:35,988 Speaker 1: it doesn't feel as convincing because I think, well, Peter, 213 00:09:36,068 --> 00:09:37,948 Speaker 1: you just did a thing where you're like, are we 214 00:09:37,988 --> 00:09:41,908 Speaker 1: like Chargers? Yeah, I'm more like Chargers. Yeah, Like I'm 215 00:09:41,988 --> 00:09:44,428 Speaker 1: kind of there, you know, but I think, never mind 216 00:09:44,468 --> 00:09:47,108 Speaker 1: the Chargers, it's not a Charger question, it's a Jets 217 00:09:47,188 --> 00:09:50,268 Speaker 1: and Patriots questions. The Chargers are in the playoffs right now, 218 00:09:50,308 --> 00:09:52,628 Speaker 1: they're in, the Jets are not in, and the Patriots 219 00:09:52,628 --> 00:09:54,788 Speaker 1: are not in. And then you got Raiders and Steelers 220 00:09:54,788 --> 00:09:56,908 Speaker 1: both losing kind of knocks them down. Yeah, right, we 221 00:09:56,948 --> 00:09:58,668 Speaker 1: were like maybe they're going around. Yeah, it's going to 222 00:09:58,748 --> 00:10:03,388 Speaker 1: be one of those three Chargers, Jets. Patriots Jets are 223 00:10:03,388 --> 00:10:05,468 Speaker 1: really tough. They are. They just it's just been a 224 00:10:05,508 --> 00:10:07,428 Speaker 1: couple of tough losses in a row. I feel like 225 00:10:07,588 --> 00:10:09,588 Speaker 1: it's have to see Herbert and be like, yeah, I'm 226 00:10:09,628 --> 00:10:13,188 Speaker 1: gonna go with Mike Wit but I don't think it's 227 00:10:13,268 --> 00:10:15,548 Speaker 1: really good. Well, the reason why it's so unsteady is 228 00:10:15,548 --> 00:10:18,348 Speaker 1: because the game tonight the Patriots at the Cardinals, like 229 00:10:18,508 --> 00:10:20,588 Speaker 1: the Pagets could win and be in and that's it. 230 00:10:20,588 --> 00:10:22,868 Speaker 1: It lasted for like seventeen hours. So this is why 231 00:10:22,868 --> 00:10:25,148 Speaker 1: we watch. You can watch on Saturday if you'd like. 232 00:10:25,148 --> 00:10:27,468 Speaker 1: Football returns to the NFL in Week fifteen, and NFL 233 00:10:27,508 --> 00:10:30,468 Speaker 1: Network is your home, your exclusive home for a special 234 00:10:30,508 --> 00:10:33,428 Speaker 1: old triple header.

Let's look 244 00:10:56,868 --> 00:11:00,188 Speaker 1: back at Week fourteen and the huge performances, some of 245 00:11:00,228 --> 00:11:03,508 Speaker 1: which deserve HMFB game ball. Our picks are on the 246 00:11:03,548 --> 00:11:06,028 Speaker 1: way game also fun. I've giving him out plus and 247 00:11:06,068 --> 00:11:08,308 Speaker 1: Derrick Henry is the king of angry runs. He's won 248 00:11:08,388 --> 00:11:11,628 Speaker 1: six times. Tyler Lockett is maybe the best to drag 249 00:11:11,668 --> 00:11:13,948 Speaker 1: swagger of all times. He really is. I remember back 250 00:11:13,948 --> 00:11:15,868 Speaker 1: in the day Michael Crabtree had a run where he 251 00:11:15,868 --> 00:11:18,668 Speaker 1: was running the segment. But Nate's THEA and Nate Burleson 252 00:11:18,788 --> 00:11:34,708 Speaker 1: joins us. NeXT's good. That's a good tribute question. Yeah, 253 00:11:37,268 --> 00:11:39,948 Speaker 1: Nate Burleson, get back in here. Nate Burleson, our dear 254 00:11:41,228 --> 00:11:44,348 Speaker 1: good morning football. You are in the studio yesterday looking 255 00:11:44,348 --> 00:11:46,868 Speaker 1: great in a nice blue sweater with a blazer over it. 256 00:11:46,908 --> 00:11:48,548 Speaker 1: You always have the best looks, but you also have 257 00:11:48,588 --> 00:11:50,668 Speaker 1: the best takes. Let's start with one of the best 258 00:11:50,668 --> 00:11:53,788 Speaker 1: stories a Week fourteen, Brock Purdy and the forty nine 259 00:11:53,868 --> 00:11:56,668 Speaker 1: ers beating the Buccaneers and Tom Brady. You guys are 260 00:11:56,668 --> 00:11:59,228 Speaker 1: watching it in the studio. What was the reaction and 261 00:11:59,308 --> 00:12:01,348 Speaker 1: what you think of what Purdie was able to do well. 262 00:12:01,388 --> 00:12:03,348 Speaker 1: The way that you introled me is a way that 263 00:12:03,388 --> 00:12:06,908 Speaker 1: I can intro Brock all grit, all hustle. I mean, 264 00:12:06,908 --> 00:12:09,668 Speaker 1: that's exactly what he is, right against all odds. This 265 00:12:09,708 --> 00:12:12,028 Speaker 1: guy comes in. He doesn't just play a good game. 266 00:12:12,068 --> 00:12:14,628 Speaker 1: He plays an amazing game. And I know he showed 267 00:12:14,748 --> 00:12:17,148 Speaker 1: Mike White taking some shots during the game, so they 268 00:12:17,148 --> 00:12:20,148 Speaker 1: brought Curdie. He stood in that pocket and was taking 269 00:12:20,228 --> 00:12:22,748 Speaker 1: shots to the chest, his chin, but he was delivering 270 00:12:22,788 --> 00:12:25,428 Speaker 1: the ball to his playmakers and then they made plays 271 00:12:25,428 --> 00:12:28,628 Speaker 1: for him. Of course, his play was incredible. The offense 272 00:12:28,668 --> 00:12:32,548 Speaker 1: looked good, Christian McCaffrey looked like he's rejuvenated, and then 273 00:12:32,588 --> 00:12:34,788 Speaker 1: the defense is just stepping up and they're one of 274 00:12:34,788 --> 00:12:37,068 Speaker 1: the best in the business statistically, it shows you. But 275 00:12:37,108 --> 00:12:40,028 Speaker 1: when you actually see this team play first quarter, second quarter, 276 00:12:40,108 --> 00:12:42,628 Speaker 1: but in the second half, the defense is great. So 277 00:12:42,668 --> 00:12:45,228 Speaker 1: with all that, it was already a fun game to watch. 278 00:12:45,308 --> 00:12:47,708 Speaker 1: But the special moment for me was when you saw 279 00:12:47,828 --> 00:12:51,628 Speaker 1: Brock's parents, his pops, a proud papa sitting in the 280 00:12:51,708 --> 00:12:56,868 Speaker 1: stands literally wiping tears away as his son torches Tom 281 00:12:56,908 --> 00:12:59,548 Speaker 1: Brady and the Buccaneers. What a moment, Man, the NFL 282 00:12:59,868 --> 00:13:02,788 Speaker 1: gives you all of the fields. Absolutely neat, Let's pass 283 00:13:02,828 --> 00:13:05,588 Speaker 1: the torch. Let's go from the Niners to the Lions. 284 00:13:05,628 --> 00:13:07,708 Speaker 1: Where they torched the Vikings yesterday. It was the burlis 285 00:13:07,828 --> 00:13:10,548 Speaker 1: And Bowl. Some referred to it as you know these organizations, 286 00:13:10,588 --> 00:13:13,588 Speaker 1: both of them far too well. Lions walked away with 287 00:13:13,628 --> 00:13:17,508 Speaker 1: a convincing when their playoff lives are alive and well, 288 00:13:17,548 --> 00:13:19,908 Speaker 1: their playoff hopes are alive and well. City of Detroit, though, 289 00:13:19,948 --> 00:13:21,348 Speaker 1: you have a feel for it. How do you think 290 00:13:21,388 --> 00:13:24,148 Speaker 1: they're feeling if they're taking down Minnesota in a convincing 291 00:13:24,188 --> 00:13:27,228 Speaker 1: fashion yesterday? I don't think they're as surprised as everybody 292 00:13:27,228 --> 00:13:30,268 Speaker 1: else was. And you talked about it how the Detroit 293 00:13:30,308 --> 00:13:33,108 Speaker 1: Lions were favored, and everybody was sitting back saying, wait, 294 00:13:33,148 --> 00:13:35,308 Speaker 1: wait a minute, how are the Detroit Lions favorite against 295 00:13:35,548 --> 00:13:38,588 Speaker 1: the Minnesota Vikings. I mean, you know, don't they have 296 00:13:38,668 --> 00:13:41,308 Speaker 1: that backwards? No, But when you walked in that building, 297 00:13:41,508 --> 00:13:43,708 Speaker 1: there was something special in the air, and talking the 298 00:13:43,748 --> 00:13:47,508 Speaker 1: players on that squad, they weren't wavering on what Dan 299 00:13:47,548 --> 00:13:50,468 Speaker 1: Campbell has said all year long. I just love the 300 00:13:50,508 --> 00:13:53,308 Speaker 1: fact that the coaching staff continue to drill into these 301 00:13:53,348 --> 00:13:55,428 Speaker 1: players heads that we are a good team, that we've 302 00:13:55,468 --> 00:13:57,868 Speaker 1: just had moments and we've been in these games and 303 00:13:57,948 --> 00:14:00,228 Speaker 1: we're as good as anybody. Now they look in the 304 00:14:00,228 --> 00:14:02,748 Speaker 1: mirror and they see a Lion, not a Cub. So 305 00:14:02,828 --> 00:14:05,748 Speaker 1: I love the fact at this offense is starting to 306 00:14:05,748 --> 00:14:08,788 Speaker 1: take shape. Let's give Jared Goff from credit. He's playing 307 00:14:08,788 --> 00:14:11,068 Speaker 1: like one of the better quarterbacks in the league. And 308 00:14:11,108 --> 00:14:13,908 Speaker 1: remember that trade. The trade was more about Matthew Stafford 309 00:14:13,908 --> 00:14:16,988 Speaker 1: going to LA not Jared Goff coming to the Lions. No, 310 00:14:17,148 --> 00:14:20,428 Speaker 1: he's bawling right now in this wide receiver group is 311 00:14:20,468 --> 00:14:23,188 Speaker 1: really starting to take shape. Yeah, Jamis Wilson back, he 312 00:14:23,228 --> 00:14:26,108 Speaker 1: came back from an Aco. You got Ama Ross State 313 00:14:26,108 --> 00:14:29,748 Speaker 1: Brown who's been bawling all year long. DJ Chark is 314 00:14:29,788 --> 00:14:31,708 Speaker 1: doing this thing. I mean, this is an offense that's 315 00:14:31,948 --> 00:14:34,108 Speaker 1: that's really starting to show you that they can hit 316 00:14:34,148 --> 00:14:36,108 Speaker 1: you from every level in the air end on the ground. 317 00:14:36,108 --> 00:14:37,948 Speaker 1: So shout out to the lines. I'm big, big win 318 00:14:38,188 --> 00:14:41,388 Speaker 1: everybody in Detroit. What up? Though? Now the Vikings they're 319 00:14:41,428 --> 00:14:43,268 Speaker 1: gonna have to bounce back, So you got to pay 320 00:14:43,268 --> 00:14:46,948 Speaker 1: attention to the game this weekend Saturday at one pm Eastern, 321 00:14:47,068 --> 00:14:50,388 Speaker 1: It'll be the Colts Vikings on the NFL Network. Is 322 00:14:50,428 --> 00:14:52,508 Speaker 1: going to be a big time game for the Vikings 323 00:14:52,628 --> 00:14:54,708 Speaker 1: to find their groove again. It is gonna be a 324 00:14:54,708 --> 00:14:57,908 Speaker 1: big time game, Nate. And you mentioned those Lions wide receivers. 325 00:14:58,148 --> 00:15:01,148 Speaker 1: You know the time it is toe draft swag, Nate, 326 00:15:01,188 --> 00:15:03,148 Speaker 1: You're always looking at the feet. Who was one you 327 00:15:03,228 --> 00:15:05,828 Speaker 1: saw from this past week. Well, this is a guy 328 00:15:05,988 --> 00:15:08,668 Speaker 1: that should be in the Hall of Fame when it 329 00:15:08,708 --> 00:15:11,868 Speaker 1: comes to toe drag swag. He is as good as 330 00:15:11,868 --> 00:15:15,588 Speaker 1: it gets. Tyler Lockett, check him out. He navigates his 331 00:15:15,628 --> 00:15:17,468 Speaker 1: way through the zone. He goes to the back of end. 332 00:15:17,508 --> 00:15:19,268 Speaker 1: Zoe Gino kind of lost this one and it goes 333 00:15:19,308 --> 00:15:22,108 Speaker 1: a little long, but Tyler just tracks it down. He 334 00:15:22,188 --> 00:15:24,588 Speaker 1: starts to pitter pat before he even catches the ball, 335 00:15:24,708 --> 00:15:26,748 Speaker 1: knowing exactly where he is in the back of the 336 00:15:26,908 --> 00:15:29,348 Speaker 1: end zone. And then he gets those dead legs as 337 00:15:29,348 --> 00:15:32,228 Speaker 1: we call it, making sure those feet just rub up 338 00:15:32,228 --> 00:15:34,228 Speaker 1: against the top of that grass. I mean, I knew 339 00:15:34,228 --> 00:15:35,588 Speaker 1: it when the ball was in the air and I 340 00:15:35,668 --> 00:15:37,828 Speaker 1: started seeing him look up for it, I knew it 341 00:15:37,868 --> 00:15:40,228 Speaker 1: was going to be a touchdown. Anytime you throw him 342 00:15:40,228 --> 00:15:42,108 Speaker 1: the ball near the sideline or in the back of 343 00:15:42,108 --> 00:15:43,628 Speaker 1: the end zone. He's gonna come down with it. So 344 00:15:43,828 --> 00:15:46,068 Speaker 1: shout out to Tyler Lockett Man. If there is a 345 00:15:46,108 --> 00:15:48,788 Speaker 1: toe drag Swag Hall of Fame, he's first bellot all. 346 00:15:49,028 --> 00:15:52,188 Speaker 1: They won't. Yeah, it's he's goat drag swag. Nay. I 347 00:15:52,188 --> 00:15:55,348 Speaker 1: mean he never doesn't come in with it. He never 348 00:15:55,428 --> 00:15:58,508 Speaker 1: doesn't get the second foot. We've been doing that segment 349 00:15:58,548 --> 00:16:00,348 Speaker 1: here for six years. The only name I want to 350 00:16:00,348 --> 00:16:02,668 Speaker 1: shout at Michael Crabtree is to show up all the 351 00:16:02,708 --> 00:16:04,828 Speaker 1: time when he was with the he would be in 352 00:16:04,868 --> 00:16:07,548 Speaker 1: that Crabtree is in the Hall of Fame two. Fam 353 00:16:07,668 --> 00:16:09,668 Speaker 1: you know that. Hold on, I gotta get the game tonight. 354 00:16:10,468 --> 00:16:12,948 Speaker 1: Jadre Hopkins would probably be in the Tod Dregsway Hall 355 00:16:12,988 --> 00:16:14,668 Speaker 1: of Fame two. But Nay, Let's let's take back from 356 00:16:14,908 --> 00:16:17,268 Speaker 1: due respect the question about an Arizona Cardinals receiver. Let's 357 00:16:17,268 --> 00:16:19,668 Speaker 1: talk about the Patriots. Patriots are now on the outside 358 00:16:19,668 --> 00:16:21,468 Speaker 1: looking in. We were talking about this the Charges win 359 00:16:21,548 --> 00:16:24,148 Speaker 1: last night. They had the seventh spot in the AFC playoffs. 360 00:16:24,348 --> 00:16:27,268 Speaker 1: What are you feeling right now, Nate about Belichick? About 361 00:16:27,388 --> 00:16:29,988 Speaker 1: Mac about that defense, Like did they got a little 362 00:16:30,028 --> 00:16:32,268 Speaker 1: running him here in the last month or like they're 363 00:16:32,308 --> 00:16:33,588 Speaker 1: gonna be on the outside looking And how do you 364 00:16:33,628 --> 00:16:35,828 Speaker 1: feel they played the Cardinals tonight? You know, initially I 365 00:16:35,868 --> 00:16:38,108 Speaker 1: was thinking about the Arizona Cardinals and how much they 366 00:16:38,148 --> 00:16:40,468 Speaker 1: needed this win. But the more I looked at this game, 367 00:16:40,588 --> 00:16:42,748 Speaker 1: this is about the Patriots. I mean, listen, they got 368 00:16:42,748 --> 00:16:45,228 Speaker 1: to correct some things. They lose this, I believe that's 369 00:16:45,228 --> 00:16:47,108 Speaker 1: three in a row, and then the rest of the 370 00:16:47,148 --> 00:16:50,468 Speaker 1: season it's gonna be tough for them. They got the Raiders, Bengals, Dolphins, Bills. 371 00:16:50,468 --> 00:16:53,108 Speaker 1: Come on, now, that is one tough stretch. So possibly 372 00:16:53,188 --> 00:16:55,388 Speaker 1: going on a slide to end the season that isn't 373 00:16:55,388 --> 00:16:58,388 Speaker 1: good for any team, let alone the Bill Belichick led Patriots. 374 00:16:58,468 --> 00:17:00,508 Speaker 1: And now you have questions around the quarterback. All Right, 375 00:17:00,628 --> 00:17:02,708 Speaker 1: is Mac Jones really that guy? Is he that dude? 376 00:17:02,788 --> 00:17:05,548 Speaker 1: Especially with these rumors floating around Tom Brady could land 377 00:17:05,548 --> 00:17:07,828 Speaker 1: back in New England to end his career right off 378 00:17:07,828 --> 00:17:10,348 Speaker 1: in the sunset. As a Patriot, you want to start 379 00:17:10,388 --> 00:17:12,588 Speaker 1: to figure some things out. We've seen some really good 380 00:17:12,628 --> 00:17:15,108 Speaker 1: moments from the defense, but it's the offense that really 381 00:17:15,148 --> 00:17:18,188 Speaker 1: hasn't caught their rhythm. And that is surprising because Bill 382 00:17:18,228 --> 00:17:20,588 Speaker 1: Belichick one way the other is going to prove his 383 00:17:20,668 --> 00:17:22,948 Speaker 1: genius on both sides of the ball. So this is 384 00:17:22,988 --> 00:17:25,028 Speaker 1: a big time win. You know, I hate to say 385 00:17:25,148 --> 00:17:27,868 Speaker 1: must win, because let's be real, every single game of 386 00:17:27,908 --> 00:17:31,228 Speaker 1: an NFL season is a must win. But in New England, 387 00:17:31,308 --> 00:17:33,668 Speaker 1: I know the Patriots are feeling like this. They gotta 388 00:17:33,708 --> 00:17:36,708 Speaker 1: win this game up against a lesser opponent because you're 389 00:17:36,748 --> 00:17:39,508 Speaker 1: gonna face some teams that on paper are better than 390 00:17:39,548 --> 00:17:41,948 Speaker 1: you going into the final parts of the season. Nate quickly, 391 00:17:41,988 --> 00:17:43,588 Speaker 1: I just want to get your opinion on something we 392 00:17:43,628 --> 00:17:46,508 Speaker 1: decided on Friday. We changed in the Hunt to lurking. 393 00:17:46,628 --> 00:17:48,828 Speaker 1: These teams we're talking about are lurking. What do you 394 00:17:48,828 --> 00:17:52,348 Speaker 1: feel about our change to the playoff picture. I like that. 395 00:17:52,588 --> 00:17:56,228 Speaker 1: I like the lurking more than in the Hunt. You know, 396 00:17:56,228 --> 00:17:59,108 Speaker 1: it's very sneaky, sneaky, But look at the teams that 397 00:17:59,148 --> 00:18:03,788 Speaker 1: are lurking, you know, sneaky sneaky, like mister Deeds. But 398 00:18:03,988 --> 00:18:06,548 Speaker 1: you know who I love more than any other team 399 00:18:06,628 --> 00:18:13,628 Speaker 1: right now? Are the Jags. Howdy you're Jaguires. I'm just saying, 400 00:18:14,108 --> 00:18:17,628 Speaker 1: let's show some love my Jaguires. Show some love to 401 00:18:17,668 --> 00:18:22,068 Speaker 1: the Jackson Lady Curry when you need it, let it Curry, 402 00:18:22,108 --> 00:18:25,388 Speaker 1: the mayor of Jackson. That's the people's mayor. We appreciate you, Nate. 403 00:18:25,428 --> 00:18:28,588 Speaker 1: Thanks the approval of Lurking. All right, let's take a 404 00:18:28,588 --> 00:18:31,428 Speaker 1: look at the teams up in the AFC playoff pictures. 405 00:18:31,428 --> 00:18:33,788 Speaker 1: We head into Monday Night Football because that is where 406 00:18:33,828 --> 00:18:35,908 Speaker 1: the New England Patriots lie and they take on the 407 00:18:35,988 --> 00:18:39,148 Speaker 1: Cardinals on Monday Night Football this evening. The Jets still 408 00:18:39,188 --> 00:18:42,468 Speaker 1: hanging around, but we were really focused on the Chargers, 409 00:18:42,508 --> 00:18:45,388 Speaker 1: Jets and Patriots just a couple minutes ago, and the 410 00:18:45,508 --> 00:18:48,628 Speaker 1: vibes you get from these teams as they sit in 411 00:18:48,628 --> 00:18:51,828 Speaker 1: this position. So here's two a toung of Violoa coming 412 00:18:51,948 --> 00:18:54,868 Speaker 1: off a loss yesterday against the Chargers. Jason, what are 413 00:18:54,908 --> 00:18:57,348 Speaker 1: your concerns, if any, with the Dolphins quarterback? You know 414 00:18:57,548 --> 00:18:59,948 Speaker 1: really what you're mister, Ta? Yeah, I love Tour, that's 415 00:18:59,988 --> 00:19:02,508 Speaker 1: my guy. Well, these last two weeks for them, You 416 00:19:02,508 --> 00:19:04,588 Speaker 1: look at them right now. They're in that wall cars spot, 417 00:19:04,628 --> 00:19:06,508 Speaker 1: and we talked about some of the teams below them. 418 00:19:06,828 --> 00:19:09,588 Speaker 1: Tools gonna have to play better because as WOS Miami's 419 00:19:09,588 --> 00:19:11,668 Speaker 1: played throughout this season, now is gonna come down to 420 00:19:11,708 --> 00:19:14,068 Speaker 1: how you finish for them to remain in the playoffs, 421 00:19:14,348 --> 00:19:16,628 Speaker 1: chargers beating him. They're another team that's in the hunt 422 00:19:16,868 --> 00:19:19,308 Speaker 1: or lurking, as I should say. You have the Jets, 423 00:19:19,308 --> 00:19:22,788 Speaker 1: you have the Patriots. So for them to play, they're 424 00:19:22,788 --> 00:19:25,468 Speaker 1: playing well on defense, but they're not gonna carry them 425 00:19:25,508 --> 00:19:27,108 Speaker 1: the same way we talked about the forty nine ers. 426 00:19:27,148 --> 00:19:30,348 Speaker 1: They lose Jimmy Garoppolo. They have the best defense in football, 427 00:19:30,628 --> 00:19:32,868 Speaker 1: and they don't need a ton from Purty to be 428 00:19:32,908 --> 00:19:35,588 Speaker 1: able to win football games the Miami Dolphins for them 429 00:19:35,588 --> 00:19:37,228 Speaker 1: to win, for them to play as well as they 430 00:19:37,228 --> 00:19:39,588 Speaker 1: did early on in the season, they need to it 431 00:19:39,668 --> 00:19:42,188 Speaker 1: to be at his best, and these past two weeks 432 00:19:42,348 --> 00:19:44,268 Speaker 1: has been off with some throws. I'm not gonna pretend 433 00:19:44,308 --> 00:19:47,028 Speaker 1: to know all the intricacies of their offense, but him 434 00:19:47,028 --> 00:19:49,468 Speaker 1: and McDaniel have been fun to wash this entire season, 435 00:19:49,628 --> 00:19:51,788 Speaker 1: and these last two weeks have not been it. And 436 00:19:51,868 --> 00:19:53,788 Speaker 1: for them to make a run or to even remain 437 00:19:53,868 --> 00:19:55,628 Speaker 1: in the playoffs, tools gonna have to play a lot. 438 00:19:55,628 --> 00:19:58,388 Speaker 1: But well, you know, their defense was on the field 439 00:19:58,388 --> 00:20:00,548 Speaker 1: for eighty plays against the forty nine ers, and then 440 00:20:00,628 --> 00:20:03,348 Speaker 1: last night you're watching it and it's like, can't ask 441 00:20:03,348 --> 00:20:05,948 Speaker 1: the defense to do everything. You need a little bit offense. 442 00:20:05,988 --> 00:20:07,588 Speaker 1: You see the score, You're like, well they kept it close. 443 00:20:07,868 --> 00:20:09,868 Speaker 1: One of them ones on a freak Tyreek King Fumba 444 00:20:09,868 --> 00:20:12,148 Speaker 1: play and one of them was Tyreek just getting Mike 445 00:20:12,228 --> 00:20:14,308 Speaker 1: Davis's legs a little caught up, and Tyreek does what 446 00:20:14,308 --> 00:20:17,468 Speaker 1: Tyreek does. Tyreek Hills being considered an MVP this season. 447 00:20:17,548 --> 00:20:21,308 Speaker 1: So then what are you too? A huge, huge, huge 448 00:20:21,348 --> 00:20:24,268 Speaker 1: game Saturday night on NFL Network against the Bills, because 449 00:20:24,428 --> 00:20:26,628 Speaker 1: it's not only two losses in a row and people 450 00:20:26,628 --> 00:20:29,028 Speaker 1: are starting to poke holes into the offense, bad performance. 451 00:20:29,228 --> 00:20:31,948 Speaker 1: It's now cold weather and what you're gonna have to 452 00:20:31,948 --> 00:20:35,308 Speaker 1: do in January because if they do make the playoffs, 453 00:20:35,348 --> 00:20:38,268 Speaker 1: they're gonna have to go to either Cincinnati, Buffalo, Kansas City, 454 00:20:38,628 --> 00:20:40,908 Speaker 1: one of these cold weather cities and at some point 455 00:20:40,908 --> 00:20:43,308 Speaker 1: win a big game and two. As of right now, 456 00:20:43,388 --> 00:20:46,148 Speaker 1: the last two weeks is casting some serious doubt whether 457 00:20:46,148 --> 00:20:47,668 Speaker 1: he can be that guy to do it. You get, 458 00:20:47,748 --> 00:20:50,028 Speaker 1: you get a dud, you do everybody gets one. He 459 00:20:50,068 --> 00:20:52,588 Speaker 1: had his dud against San Francisco. But the real ones, 460 00:20:52,628 --> 00:20:55,068 Speaker 1: like they don't put two duds together. They just don't 461 00:20:55,108 --> 00:20:57,668 Speaker 1: like that. The Mahomes types and just they're a lad 462 00:20:57,748 --> 00:20:59,908 Speaker 1: of league guys, you don't see back to back poor game. 463 00:21:00,108 --> 00:21:02,308 Speaker 1: That's what we've had. This is a massive game. We 464 00:21:02,348 --> 00:21:04,028 Speaker 1: all saying it this this day, in this weekend. It's like, 465 00:21:04,108 --> 00:21:05,588 Speaker 1: you can lose three in a row. You can't play 466 00:21:05,628 --> 00:21:08,268 Speaker 1: poorly three times. You open up the conversation to the 467 00:21:08,308 --> 00:21:10,748 Speaker 1: whole weather thing like this is the biggest game of 468 00:21:10,788 --> 00:21:12,428 Speaker 1: to his career the Saturday. If that's what it is, 469 00:21:12,468 --> 00:21:14,148 Speaker 1: he's got to have it. We heard Mike Terrico and 470 00:21:14,188 --> 00:21:16,588 Speaker 1: Chris Colentorth in the broadcast last night commenting like, this 471 00:21:16,628 --> 00:21:18,348 Speaker 1: is what the forty nine ers did to the Dolphins. 472 00:21:18,348 --> 00:21:19,868 Speaker 1: They're doing it back to back. What I saw was 473 00:21:19,908 --> 00:21:22,188 Speaker 1: that there was not there were no slants. Those his 474 00:21:22,308 --> 00:21:24,908 Speaker 1: slants the two would hit and the guys, the speed 475 00:21:24,908 --> 00:21:27,308 Speaker 1: guys two and Jalen would just take off up the sideline. 476 00:21:27,388 --> 00:21:28,948 Speaker 1: They just locked at the middle and they took the 477 00:21:29,028 --> 00:21:31,308 Speaker 1: ball away. They were on them. It wasn't a game 478 00:21:31,388 --> 00:21:33,748 Speaker 1: where they came in playing back and playing zone and 479 00:21:33,828 --> 00:21:36,068 Speaker 1: keeping everything fun. They got up in their face. So 480 00:21:36,108 --> 00:21:38,748 Speaker 1: when they ran those slants, we saw Sante Samuel getting 481 00:21:38,748 --> 00:21:40,708 Speaker 1: in there and knock one down. Mike Davis. They were 482 00:21:40,868 --> 00:21:43,428 Speaker 1: right tight on those guys and covers the entire night. 483 00:21:43,628 --> 00:21:45,668 Speaker 1: They weren't afraid of them running bond. Scary if a 484 00:21:45,708 --> 00:21:48,468 Speaker 1: defense figure really quickly that in the hun graphic that's 485 00:21:48,548 --> 00:21:51,228 Speaker 1: changed to lurk. Had a Twitter follower, a good one, 486 00:21:51,268 --> 00:21:53,468 Speaker 1: Fresh Furrow two says he got it all wrong. Lurking 487 00:21:53,508 --> 00:21:55,388 Speaker 1: has to be in caps lock. That's what I think. 488 00:21:55,508 --> 00:21:59,308 Speaker 1: L lurking. Yeah, it's lurking. It makes it scarier. Okay, 489 00:21:59,428 --> 00:22:02,868 Speaker 1: we have we take it under consideration.

You're nugget about the Purty family just getting 531 00:24:03,908 --> 00:24:05,868 Speaker 1: the tickets so they could see time they brought him 532 00:24:05,868 --> 00:24:07,908 Speaker 1: before before they even knew that.

Let's go 535 00:24:13,348 --> 00:24:16,068 Speaker 1: to my answer here, and I'm gonna show you five 536 00:24:16,188 --> 00:24:21,068 Speaker 1: names that I think everybody's gonna be familiar with. These guys, 537 00:24:21,348 --> 00:24:24,148 Speaker 1: they stay healthy and they just dominate week after week. 538 00:24:24,468 --> 00:24:26,468 Speaker 1: My game will goes to the Eagles offensive line. And 539 00:24:26,468 --> 00:24:28,308 Speaker 1: I know that's becoming almost trite at this point, and 540 00:24:28,348 --> 00:24:32,668 Speaker 1: it's almost becoming a hackneyed thing to say because everyone's 541 00:24:32,668 --> 00:24:35,348 Speaker 1: talking about their offensive line as much as their quarterback. 542 00:24:35,388 --> 00:24:38,948 Speaker 1: And like you watch this game, they just completely erase 543 00:24:39,108 --> 00:24:42,148 Speaker 1: the Giants defensive line, which is nothing to roll your 544 00:24:42,148 --> 00:24:44,228 Speaker 1: eyes at. Dexter Lawrence and key On Timodeau or two 545 00:24:44,228 --> 00:24:47,388 Speaker 1: talented defensive players, but they just ran at Will Miles 546 00:24:47,388 --> 00:24:49,668 Speaker 1: Sanders had one hundred and forty four rushing yards and 547 00:24:49,708 --> 00:24:53,788 Speaker 1: two touchdowns. He broke a thousand yards like it was 548 00:24:54,508 --> 00:24:57,588 Speaker 1: as if the Giants defensive line did not belong on 549 00:24:57,628 --> 00:25:00,188 Speaker 1: the same field as the Eagles offensive line. So for 550 00:25:00,228 --> 00:25:02,108 Speaker 1: all the running and for all the past protection, but 551 00:25:02,148 --> 00:25:06,348 Speaker 1: also the health. Thirteen Starts, thirteen Stars Start Swells Christmas album. 552 00:25:06,508 --> 00:25:08,588 Speaker 1: They are doing a Christmas album and they're the most 553 00:25:08,628 --> 00:25:10,988 Speaker 1: dominant single offensive line in it. I think they're gonna 554 00:25:10,988 --> 00:25:12,748 Speaker 1: be a team that you have to wash down the stretch, 555 00:25:12,788 --> 00:25:15,148 Speaker 1: and that unit right there might be the ones that care. Yeah, 556 00:25:15,188 --> 00:25:18,028 Speaker 1: I'm going with mine. Two guys on the Baltimore Ravens. 557 00:25:18,068 --> 00:25:21,108 Speaker 1: We continue to talk about how well the Cincinnati Bengals 558 00:25:21,108 --> 00:25:24,308 Speaker 1: are playing.

They got 560 00:25:27,948 --> 00:25:31,548 Speaker 1: it done yesterday, both making interceptions after the game. They've 561 00:25:31,548 --> 00:25:33,588 Speaker 1: even talking about roll Kuan like you're not really a 562 00:25:33,668 --> 00:25:36,468 Speaker 1: raven until you beat the Steelers. He was able to 563 00:25:36,508 --> 00:25:39,188 Speaker 1: do that. Yesterday. He was asked about them too as 564 00:25:39,188 --> 00:25:42,188 Speaker 1: a linebacker duel.

The offense has been putting up 642 00:29:17,868 --> 00:29:20,428 Speaker 1: numbers since the beginning of the season, and he has 643 00:29:20,468 --> 00:29:22,508 Speaker 1: just been steady going out there and making the throw 644 00:29:22,548 --> 00:29:25,468 Speaker 1: that needs to be made and flicking touchdown passes all 645 00:29:25,468 --> 00:29:28,068 Speaker 1: over the place.

Started out 651 00:29:40,148 --> 00:29:42,948 Speaker 1: one and six and now rolling. Can they do enough 652 00:29:42,948 --> 00:29:44,588 Speaker 1: to make the playoffs? I don't know. That's yet to 653 00:29:44,628 --> 00:29:46,588 Speaker 1: be seen. But they're a team that's fun to watch. 654 00:29:46,588 --> 00:29:49,348 Speaker 1: It's gonna be a great bar argument ten years from now. 655 00:29:49,388 --> 00:29:52,348 Speaker 1: He can't do it now. They traded Stafford and in 656 00:29:52,388 --> 00:29:54,948 Speaker 1: return they got a first round pick in twenty twenty two, 657 00:29:54,948 --> 00:29:57,188 Speaker 1: which they traded up and they ended up getting Jamison Williams. 658 00:29:57,428 --> 00:29:59,388 Speaker 1: They have the Rams first round pick in this draft, 659 00:29:59,388 --> 00:30:01,948 Speaker 1: which right now is the number four overall pick. They 660 00:30:02,028 --> 00:30:05,308 Speaker 1: got Jared Goff, they got a third round pick last year, 661 00:30:05,908 --> 00:30:09,188 Speaker 1: and the Rams are paying most of Jared Goff's salary still, 662 00:30:09,348 --> 00:30:11,668 Speaker 1: So it's like, yes, the Rims went all in and 663 00:30:11,708 --> 00:30:14,228 Speaker 1: got their Super Bowl and you think that's indefensible. Okay, 664 00:30:14,268 --> 00:30:17,228 Speaker 1: that's the But the Lions have now laid the bedrock 665 00:30:17,268 --> 00:30:18,548 Speaker 1: for the next thing. And I don't know, Ian had 666 00:30:18,548 --> 00:30:20,468 Speaker 1: a great report. Yes, say, I don't think Jared Golf 667 00:30:20,548 --> 00:30:22,788 Speaker 1: is just like a bridge quarterback to this next Jared 668 00:30:22,788 --> 00:30:25,548 Speaker 1: Golf might be the guy in Detroit. They've scored twenty 669 00:30:25,548 --> 00:30:28,028 Speaker 1: five points or more in four straight games, the first 670 00:30:28,068 --> 00:30:31,308 Speaker 1: time a Lions team has done that since nineteen fifty four. Wow. 671 00:30:31,428 --> 00:30:34,948 Speaker 1: That includes the Barry Sanders teams and the Calvin Johnson teams. 672 00:30:35,068 --> 00:30:36,508 Speaker 1: I don't know if they make the playoffs this year. 673 00:30:36,508 --> 00:30:38,388 Speaker 1: They might, but I know they're gonna be a team 674 00:30:38,428 --> 00:30:40,268 Speaker 1: I don't want to face over the next few years. 675 00:30:40,268 --> 00:30:42,868 Speaker 1: They're so young, they're so good, And kudos to Jared Goff. 676 00:30:42,988 --> 00:30:46,908 Speaker 1: Literally a phoenix rising, literally a phoenix rising from the ashes. 677 00:30:47,108 --> 00:30:49,668 Speaker 1: Quite literally a phoenix rising from the ashes, but like 678 00:30:49,948 --> 00:30:52,428 Speaker 1: figuratively that. I mean, this is a guy that everyone 679 00:30:52,668 --> 00:30:55,268 Speaker 1: not only buried but then had their laughs in their 680 00:30:55,348 --> 00:30:57,308 Speaker 1: high jinks last year that you had to go to Detroit. 681 00:30:57,308 --> 00:30:58,628 Speaker 1: Look what he's doing right now. He's having a far 682 00:30:58,628 --> 00:31:01,148 Speaker 1: better season than Stafford is Hell yeah, yes, and listen. 683 00:31:01,308 --> 00:31:04,108 Speaker 1: I think the Lions are a top eight NFL team 684 00:31:04,188 --> 00:31:06,308 Speaker 1: right I think they're the third best team in the NFC. 685 00:31:06,468 --> 00:31:08,508 Speaker 1: I think they're behind Philadelphia and I think they're mine 686 00:31:08,508 --> 00:31:10,108 Speaker 1: San Francisco. I think they would beat Das right now 687 00:31:10,108 --> 00:31:14,588 Speaker 1: if they've played. They are one incredible Josh Allenton savon 688 00:31:14,668 --> 00:31:16,748 Speaker 1: Digg's throw away from winning six in a row. They 689 00:31:16,788 --> 00:31:18,588 Speaker 1: went up against that day on Thanksgiving, the number one 690 00:31:18,588 --> 00:31:21,308 Speaker 1: seing the FFC, and we're totally game. There's a prejudice 691 00:31:21,428 --> 00:31:24,228 Speaker 1: maybe and a reluctance to accept them because you see 692 00:31:24,268 --> 00:31:26,228 Speaker 1: that logo and you see that color, and you grew 693 00:31:26,268 --> 00:31:28,308 Speaker 1: up with the Lions. I think Lions fends themselves have it. 694 00:31:28,348 --> 00:31:30,228 Speaker 1: I'm gonna talk about Dan Campbell and I am not 695 00:31:30,268 --> 00:31:32,628 Speaker 1: going to quote Metallica. I'm not going to do an impression. 696 00:31:32,628 --> 00:31:34,788 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna say the word man. He is the man. 697 00:31:34,948 --> 00:31:37,068 Speaker 1: It's beyond all that this guy was looked at as 698 00:31:37,068 --> 00:31:38,708 Speaker 1: he was gonna be a clown and an imbecile on 699 00:31:38,708 --> 00:31:40,508 Speaker 1: a punchline and a meme and he's gonna get fired. 700 00:31:40,508 --> 00:31:42,388 Speaker 1: And they're one and six and is terrible. And hopefully 701 00:31:42,388 --> 00:31:44,868 Speaker 1: you can get a job coach on the linebackers somewhere 702 00:31:44,948 --> 00:31:47,348 Speaker 1: for you know, the Baltimore Ravens or the hell knows. 703 00:31:48,228 --> 00:31:50,628 Speaker 1: I don't know. SI it catches on next year, you know, 704 00:31:50,748 --> 00:31:53,148 Speaker 1: hope you get a job like Ravens linebackers coach. Yeah 705 00:31:53,148 --> 00:31:54,988 Speaker 1: sounds good. It sounds like Dan camp right, No Lions 706 00:31:54,988 --> 00:31:57,148 Speaker 1: head coach, Lions head coach of one of the hottest 707 00:31:57,148 --> 00:31:59,588 Speaker 1: teams in the league. And you know how hard it is, 708 00:31:59,668 --> 00:32:02,428 Speaker 1: Like he's stuck by his defensive coordinator and it was 709 00:32:02,468 --> 00:32:05,348 Speaker 1: the worst defense in history. You'd never see him stop anybody. 710 00:32:05,508 --> 00:32:08,588 Speaker 1: Did you see Dalvin Cook yesterday? Neither did I. Seven 711 00:32:08,708 --> 00:32:11,188 Speaker 1: straight games, the Detroit Lions have not allowed one hundred 712 00:32:11,268 --> 00:32:13,908 Speaker 1: yard rusher. They hit, they play, they believe they got 713 00:32:13,908 --> 00:32:15,228 Speaker 1: it all going on. And I think it starts with 714 00:32:15,308 --> 00:32:18,308 Speaker 1: Dan Campbell. Not a joke, not an impression, no reference, 715 00:32:18,348 --> 00:32:20,788 Speaker 1: the master of puppets, just the master of his domain. 716 00:32:20,868 --> 00:32:23,028 Speaker 1: Dan Campbell. I'm so impressed and so proud man, and 717 00:32:23,148 --> 00:32:25,188 Speaker 1: he got him there. All these postgame speeches that we 718 00:32:25,228 --> 00:32:27,588 Speaker 1: see from Dan Campbell, He's just like, you guys bought in, 719 00:32:27,748 --> 00:32:30,828 Speaker 1: You're there. We arrived here together. They did. Jared Gofflick's 720 00:32:30,828 --> 00:32:32,628 Speaker 1: really good. But the guys he's throwing the ball to 721 00:32:32,828 --> 00:32:34,988 Speaker 1: the wide receivers, they're a plenty. I want to have 722 00:32:34,988 --> 00:32:36,668 Speaker 1: a party with the Lions. Rude of siber room. But 723 00:32:36,708 --> 00:32:39,468 Speaker 1: they are having a blast, are playing great. The Jamison 724 00:32:39,468 --> 00:32:42,108 Speaker 1: william touchdown catch great. So then this one moves on. 725 00:32:42,188 --> 00:32:44,948 Speaker 1: DJ Shark. You know when I saw this, Frankly, I 726 00:32:45,228 --> 00:32:46,628 Speaker 1: kind of far away from my TV. I was like, wait, 727 00:32:46,628 --> 00:32:49,428 Speaker 1: who was that? You know? Was it on? No? Wasn't okay? 728 00:32:49,548 --> 00:32:53,348 Speaker 1: Was it Josh Rout? No? Okay? DJ Shark? Seriously, and Frankly, 729 00:32:53,908 --> 00:32:56,748 Speaker 1: a guy that is still this season in twenty twenty 730 00:32:56,748 --> 00:33:00,428 Speaker 1: two and the top five in stats for passing offensive 731 00:33:00,428 --> 00:33:03,308 Speaker 1: the Lions was playing for the other team yesterday. T J. Hawkinson, 732 00:33:03,468 --> 00:33:06,108 Speaker 1: a tight end, was rated mid season within the division 733 00:33:06,308 --> 00:33:08,988 Speaker 1: to the Minnesota Vikings. He still is up there when 734 00:33:08,988 --> 00:33:11,508 Speaker 1: you look at the staff Relions this season. And then 735 00:33:11,548 --> 00:33:13,708 Speaker 1: they went ahead and they beat up on the Minnesota Vikings. 736 00:33:13,828 --> 00:33:15,988 Speaker 1: I think that plays great for the Lions. I think 737 00:33:16,028 --> 00:33:19,788 Speaker 1: that makes their ownership and their management look great for 738 00:33:19,908 --> 00:33:21,828 Speaker 1: making a deal in season and beating the team that 739 00:33:21,948 --> 00:33:23,828 Speaker 1: because there was a lot to laugh about with that, Like, 740 00:33:23,868 --> 00:33:25,908 Speaker 1: I can't believe you're really doing this in the division. 741 00:33:25,988 --> 00:33:28,908 Speaker 1: Can't believe you do with this. TJ. Hockinson was nowhere yesterday. 742 00:33:29,268 --> 00:33:32,028 Speaker 1: The Lions were everywhere yesterday, and they look really, really good. 743 00:33:32,148 --> 00:33:35,228 Speaker 1: They really do. Vikings also traded that that Jamison Williams 744 00:33:35,228 --> 00:33:37,748 Speaker 1: pick was from the Vikings. Usually don't see interdivision. It 745 00:33:37,748 --> 00:33:40,348 Speaker 1: almost felt like the Vikings were you know, yeah, I 746 00:33:40,388 --> 00:33:42,628 Speaker 1: had to add a fantasy wide receiver right two minutes 747 00:33:42,628 --> 00:33:44,948 Speaker 1: before the game started yesterday, and I see DJ Sharks 748 00:33:44,948 --> 00:33:47,148 Speaker 1: sitting there and I'm like, nah, I'm not gonna I 749 00:33:47,188 --> 00:33:48,748 Speaker 1: should have had, you know, I added Robert Woods wi 750 00:33:48,828 --> 00:33:50,748 Speaker 1: you Yeah, sorry, I love you, Bobby, But like I 751 00:33:50,788 --> 00:33:53,468 Speaker 1: should have done Town.
