We will be hearing from Bill 53 00:02:19,348 --> 00:02:21,868 Speaker 2: Belichick within the hour here on NFL Network. 54 00:02:21,868 --> 00:02:22,068 Speaker 8: Ian. 55 00:02:22,148 --> 00:02:24,308 Speaker 2: We'll start with you though news late last night that 56 00:02:24,428 --> 00:02:26,268 Speaker 2: kept everyone up from Atlanta. 57 00:02:26,468 --> 00:02:27,268 Speaker 3: What's the details? 58 00:02:27,748 --> 00:02:30,868 Speaker 9: Twelve two am was how the day after the season 59 00:02:30,908 --> 00:02:35,428 Speaker 9: started for the Atlanta Falcons, firing Arthur Smith after three seasons, 60 00:02:35,508 --> 00:02:37,908 Speaker 9: really a struggled down the stretch and you know, if 61 00:02:37,948 --> 00:02:39,468 Speaker 9: you'd asked me a month or so ago. 62 00:02:39,508 --> 00:02:40,748 Speaker 6: Arthur Smith seems safe. 63 00:02:40,868 --> 00:02:41,508 Speaker 5: Just really need to. 64 00:02:41,508 --> 00:02:42,748 Speaker 6: Avoid it collapse at the end. 65 00:02:43,268 --> 00:02:45,908 Speaker 9: They had to collapse, losing four of five, and obviously 66 00:02:46,028 --> 00:02:49,508 Speaker 9: the quarterback issues really plagued the Falcons throughout. They decided 67 00:02:49,548 --> 00:02:52,668 Speaker 9: to roll with Desmond Ritter rather than sign a veteran 68 00:02:52,748 --> 00:02:55,508 Speaker 9: or trade for a veteran quarterback this pass offseason. 69 00:02:55,828 --> 00:02:56,788 Speaker 6: That really doomed them. 70 00:02:56,788 --> 00:02:59,948 Speaker 9: Obviously, someone who you know, the fantasy community was frustrated 71 00:02:59,988 --> 00:03:02,788 Speaker 9: with the Falcons. Fans ended up frustrated with in the 72 00:03:02,948 --> 00:03:04,948 Speaker 9: end Arthur Smith, he said. 73 00:03:04,788 --> 00:03:06,068 Speaker 5: Goodbye to last night. 74 00:03:06,148 --> 00:03:09,148 Speaker 9: The Falcons now became the fourth team to have a 75 00:03:09,468 --> 00:03:12,908 Speaker 9: head coach opening. Meanwhile, we are keeping our eyes on 76 00:03:13,028 --> 00:03:16,908 Speaker 9: the Washington Commanders. The expectation is that Ron rivera one 77 00:03:16,908 --> 00:03:19,188 Speaker 9: of the more respected voices in the NFL and someone 78 00:03:19,188 --> 00:03:21,028 Speaker 9: who has served as the head coach and in f 79 00:03:21,028 --> 00:03:23,468 Speaker 9: acto's spokeson of the Commanders for the last four years, 80 00:03:23,828 --> 00:03:25,268 Speaker 9: he is expected to be out. 81 00:03:25,548 --> 00:03:27,748 Speaker 5: That potentially could happen this. 82 00:03:27,868 --> 00:03:30,868 Speaker 9: Morning, with owner Josh Harris said to put his stamp 83 00:03:31,348 --> 00:03:35,548 Speaker 9: on his organization that he bought this past offseason. That 84 00:03:35,588 --> 00:03:37,428 Speaker 9: would not be a surprise, that would be expected, but 85 00:03:37,588 --> 00:03:42,148 Speaker 9: still consequential assuming that happens at some point soon. We're 86 00:03:42,148 --> 00:03:45,628 Speaker 9: also keeping our eyes on the uncertain status of Mike Rabel, 87 00:03:45,708 --> 00:03:48,828 Speaker 9: the Tennessee Titans head coach. This is kind of an 88 00:03:48,828 --> 00:03:51,148 Speaker 9: odd one because Rabel has come out publicly a couple 89 00:03:51,188 --> 00:03:52,988 Speaker 9: of times that he wants to be in Tennessee. 90 00:03:53,308 --> 00:03:54,708 Speaker 6: You know, the relationship between him. 91 00:03:54,628 --> 00:03:58,228 Speaker 9: And general manager Ran Carthon is a good one. That said, 92 00:03:58,268 --> 00:04:00,508 Speaker 9: there's still going to be a meeting between the owner 93 00:04:00,588 --> 00:04:03,228 Speaker 9: and Mike Rabel to discuss next season, and it's one 94 00:04:03,228 --> 00:04:05,108 Speaker 9: of those guys where they are going to go into 95 00:04:05,108 --> 00:04:07,548 Speaker 9: a room and you just do not know what is 96 00:04:07,628 --> 00:04:09,708 Speaker 9: going to happen, what Vrabel's going to agree to, what 97 00:04:09,948 --> 00:04:11,748 Speaker 9: changes are going to be made to get this organization 98 00:04:11,828 --> 00:04:14,468 Speaker 9: had in the right direction. That is something that certainly 99 00:04:14,548 --> 00:04:17,868 Speaker 9: could change the status of the former coach of the Year. Now, 100 00:04:17,868 --> 00:04:20,148 Speaker 9: I want to send it to Omar Ruiz, who is 101 00:04:20,188 --> 00:04:24,868 Speaker 9: in New England for another legendary coach with some uncertain status. 102 00:04:25,788 --> 00:04:26,628 Speaker 10: Yeah, uncertainty. 103 00:04:26,748 --> 00:04:29,348 Speaker 5: That's the word ian that we heard in the locker room. 104 00:04:29,388 --> 00:04:32,228 Speaker 10: Players acknowledging that for the first time Bill Belichick and 105 00:04:32,348 --> 00:04:36,028 Speaker 10: his job status, there is uncertainty and certainly looking forward 106 00:04:36,068 --> 00:04:40,428 Speaker 10: to having some certainty or claranty. Twenty four seasons, six 107 00:04:40,508 --> 00:04:45,548 Speaker 10: Super Bowls, nine AFC Championships. Not much sentimentality though in 108 00:04:45,668 --> 00:04:48,468 Speaker 10: the way for Bill Belichick yesterday, most of that reserve 109 00:04:48,508 --> 00:04:53,028 Speaker 10: for Matthew Slater, the legendary special teams player, sixteen seasons, 110 00:04:53,108 --> 00:04:55,868 Speaker 10: three super Bowl titles.

It has been an amazing turn of events. 169 00:07:26,468 --> 00:07:29,628 Speaker 1: It's not only the division champs. They're home at Buffalo 170 00:07:29,788 --> 00:07:32,428 Speaker 1: against the Steelers team that will be without its best player. 171 00:07:32,548 --> 00:07:34,868 Speaker 1: Like you are happy right now, and listen, you might 172 00:07:34,908 --> 00:07:36,948 Speaker 1: be happy right now, but last night was was a 173 00:07:37,268 --> 00:07:40,948 Speaker 1: vintage Josh Allen performance in every single possible way. 174 00:07:41,148 --> 00:07:42,388 Speaker 5: This was a cardiac special. 175 00:07:43,308 --> 00:07:46,748 Speaker 1: Josh decided to chuck last night, like there's there's chucker Josh, 176 00:07:46,868 --> 00:07:49,788 Speaker 1: and then there's super Chucker Josh in which he doesn't 177 00:07:49,828 --> 00:07:52,308 Speaker 1: give a damn. I thought they're right up at NFL 178 00:07:52,348 --> 00:07:55,108 Speaker 1: dot Com. Was so perfect, it like really encapsulated everybody. 179 00:07:55,428 --> 00:07:57,548 Speaker 1: If Josh Allen had played smarter and more in control, 180 00:07:57,628 --> 00:08:00,628 Speaker 1: Buffalo might have cruse to a victory. But he also 181 00:08:00,708 --> 00:08:03,028 Speaker 1: threw for three fifty nine and had sixty seven yards rushing. 182 00:08:03,068 --> 00:08:05,908 Speaker 5: It was there. It is, guys in a nutshell. Listen. 183 00:08:06,108 --> 00:08:08,108 Speaker 1: The red zone stuff was weird. It was the first 184 00:08:08,188 --> 00:08:10,428 Speaker 1: red zone turnover they had had all seasons. So it's 185 00:08:10,468 --> 00:08:12,348 Speaker 1: not like he's been doing it all year. Listen, we 186 00:08:12,388 --> 00:08:14,788 Speaker 1: can get into the nitty gritty of it. Alan did 187 00:08:14,868 --> 00:08:16,748 Speaker 1: the thing at the end when he needed to sort of. 188 00:08:16,788 --> 00:08:18,828 Speaker 1: They had a special team's break. Bottom line. 189 00:08:18,988 --> 00:08:20,588 Speaker 5: They're going home in a good way. 190 00:08:20,668 --> 00:08:22,868 Speaker 1: They're having a home playoff game against a Steelers team 191 00:08:22,908 --> 00:08:25,348 Speaker 1: that is good but wounded. They still go down and 192 00:08:25,388 --> 00:08:27,908 Speaker 1: beat Miami. It's an incredible thing that that happened. Six 193 00:08:27,988 --> 00:08:30,108 Speaker 1: and sixteen. That was dead in the water holding up 194 00:08:30,148 --> 00:08:32,028 Speaker 1: T shirts again. Now we'll see what they do with them. 195 00:08:32,108 --> 00:08:34,388 Speaker 4: In week eleven, we came on the show and I 196 00:08:34,508 --> 00:08:37,588 Speaker 4: said they had a fourteen per chance chance of making 197 00:08:37,668 --> 00:08:39,948 Speaker 4: the playoffs, and they were the eleventh seed. And that's 198 00:08:39,988 --> 00:08:41,868 Speaker 4: how far back to the eleven seed. Only top seven 199 00:08:41,948 --> 00:08:44,388 Speaker 4: make it. They finish as the number two seed. And 200 00:08:44,468 --> 00:08:46,588 Speaker 4: if they take care of their business, they'll have two 201 00:08:46,748 --> 00:08:49,108 Speaker 4: home playoff games in front of the Bills mafia. That 202 00:08:49,268 --> 00:08:51,668 Speaker 4: is an incredible situation if you're Buffalo and you would 203 00:08:51,668 --> 00:08:54,308 Speaker 4: have definitely signed up for that before the season. Midway 204 00:08:54,348 --> 00:08:57,028 Speaker 4: through the season, week fifteen, Week sixteen, Week seventeen, and 205 00:08:57,108 --> 00:08:58,828 Speaker 4: here you are two home playoff games if you just 206 00:08:58,868 --> 00:09:01,228 Speaker 4: take care of your business. What I loved about this 207 00:09:01,348 --> 00:09:04,268 Speaker 4: game is that in the biggest moments, it wasn't necessarily 208 00:09:04,428 --> 00:09:07,228 Speaker 4: Stefon Diggs and James Cook. It was Taylor rat making 209 00:09:07,268 --> 00:09:10,828 Speaker 4: a play. It was Trent Sherfield stepping up. And we 210 00:09:10,988 --> 00:09:12,868 Speaker 4: talked about it a couple of weeks ago when Richie 211 00:09:12,948 --> 00:09:14,748 Speaker 4: James did it from his five yard line and we 212 00:09:14,868 --> 00:09:16,668 Speaker 4: made fun of him and said, don't you ever do that. 213 00:09:17,028 --> 00:09:19,388 Speaker 4: You never return a punt from your own five. 214 00:09:19,948 --> 00:09:21,788 Speaker 5: I'm gonna go to Mike Tarico for the call. 215 00:09:21,868 --> 00:09:24,788 Speaker 4: Here down fourteen to seven with an AFC East title 216 00:09:24,868 --> 00:09:27,908 Speaker 4: on the line, mister Deontae Hardy, all five foot eight 217 00:09:27,988 --> 00:09:29,948 Speaker 4: of you, take care of business from the five. 218 00:09:29,908 --> 00:09:35,028 Speaker 5: Yard line, sore, Miami will punt back to back possessions. 219 00:09:35,148 --> 00:09:38,388 Speaker 1: Jake Bailey with a big punt sends Deontay Hardy all 220 00:09:38,388 --> 00:09:40,988 Speaker 1: the way back to the five, has some space, take. 221 00:09:40,868 --> 00:09:43,868 Speaker 5: To look out. Hardy gets a plucked out field. Harty's 222 00:09:43,868 --> 00:09:47,588 Speaker 5: gonna go. He's in that field. Nobody's gonna catch him. 223 00:09:48,268 --> 00:09:51,068 Speaker 5: Deionta Hardy ninety five yards. 224 00:09:53,828 --> 00:09:54,868 Speaker 6: That was the spark plug. 225 00:09:55,068 --> 00:09:55,668 Speaker 5: That was everything. 226 00:09:55,668 --> 00:09:58,228 Speaker 4: They're down fourteen to seven, they're sputtering, they're sputtering. They 227 00:09:58,268 --> 00:10:00,508 Speaker 4: go to the half again, the halftime announcement of when 228 00:10:00,548 --> 00:10:03,868 Speaker 4: the games are gonna be played, and Hardy just completely 229 00:10:03,948 --> 00:10:05,988 Speaker 4: ignites this team. I think it's the play of the 230 00:10:06,068 --> 00:10:08,668 Speaker 4: season for Buffalo. I think it was everything they needed 231 00:10:08,708 --> 00:10:10,988 Speaker 4: to get going. They took care of business from there. 232 00:10:11,068 --> 00:10:14,028 Speaker 4: The offense woke up, the defense stopped the Dolphins, who, 233 00:10:14,268 --> 00:10:16,548 Speaker 4: for whatever reason we'll talk about Miami has completely abandoned 234 00:10:16,588 --> 00:10:18,588 Speaker 4: the run in the second half. It's watching this game 235 00:10:18,668 --> 00:10:21,308 Speaker 4: like where's a chan has been killing them all first half. 236 00:10:21,508 --> 00:10:24,188 Speaker 4: They completely abandoned it. Mike McDaniel has a lot of 237 00:10:24,308 --> 00:10:26,988 Speaker 4: questions to answer today and then leading up into Kansas City. 238 00:10:27,068 --> 00:10:29,428 Speaker 4: But your reward, you get a Steelers team, like you said, 239 00:10:29,428 --> 00:10:32,668 Speaker 4: which is likely without TJ. Watt and Mason Rudolph coming 240 00:10:32,668 --> 00:10:34,548 Speaker 4: into town in cold weather where the offense has not 241 00:10:34,708 --> 00:10:35,068 Speaker 4: been good. 242 00:10:35,468 --> 00:10:37,788 Speaker 5: Bill's much better place now than they were a week ago. 243 00:10:37,868 --> 00:10:39,588 Speaker 4: And I think before the season, if you were to say, 244 00:10:39,588 --> 00:10:41,588 Speaker 4: would you sign up for this despite all the downs 245 00:10:41,628 --> 00:10:43,988 Speaker 4: in the valleys, they were sure, we'll take that two ceda, 246 00:10:44,028 --> 00:10:44,748 Speaker 4: We'll take that fun. 247 00:10:44,908 --> 00:10:46,228 Speaker 6: So it all worked out for Buffalo in the end, 248 00:10:46,308 --> 00:10:48,268 Speaker 6: no doubt about it. And Jamie you said it. Five 249 00:10:48,308 --> 00:10:50,628 Speaker 6: straight wins for this Buffalo Bills team that you said 250 00:10:50,748 --> 00:10:53,588 Speaker 6: was dead in the water. And Kyle you may mention 251 00:10:53,708 --> 00:10:55,748 Speaker 6: of a few weeks ago Sean McDermot had things that 252 00:10:55,828 --> 00:10:57,428 Speaker 6: came out that he said in a meeting, and it 253 00:10:57,508 --> 00:11:00,268 Speaker 6: seemed like the entire Bills organization was going and a 254 00:11:00,348 --> 00:11:02,788 Speaker 6: downward spired and articles being written all this that and 255 00:11:02,868 --> 00:11:05,748 Speaker 6: the third and then you watch McDermott and his defense 256 00:11:05,868 --> 00:11:07,788 Speaker 6: last night and what they were able to do to 257 00:11:07,868 --> 00:11:10,868 Speaker 6: the Miami Dolphins was so impressive. Of course, we talk 258 00:11:10,908 --> 00:11:13,908 Speaker 6: about Josh Allen so much because of his type of game, 259 00:11:14,268 --> 00:11:17,348 Speaker 6: but this defense was unbelievable too. It had one hundred 260 00:11:17,348 --> 00:11:21,068 Speaker 6: and seventy three yards passing two interceptions. The second half. 261 00:11:21,148 --> 00:11:24,708 Speaker 6: Miami's offense was barely on the field. Every drive they 262 00:11:24,788 --> 00:11:27,708 Speaker 6: had was four plays or less and it was punts 263 00:11:27,748 --> 00:11:30,468 Speaker 6: and interceptions by two and talking about lot and this 264 00:11:30,668 --> 00:11:33,428 Speaker 6: offense for the Dolphins because they couldn't do anything against 265 00:11:33,428 --> 00:11:34,148 Speaker 6: the Buffalo Bills. 266 00:11:34,188 --> 00:11:36,308 Speaker 1: I read they were in seventeen plays in the second half. 267 00:11:36,188 --> 00:11:41,548 Speaker 6: Seventeen plays. It was just pump punt interception. Game over. 268 00:11:41,708 --> 00:11:43,628 Speaker 6: You're watching that and the Dolphins get the fourth down 269 00:11:43,668 --> 00:11:45,948 Speaker 6: stop and you're like, all right, if the Miami Dolphins 270 00:11:45,988 --> 00:11:47,508 Speaker 6: go down, scare are they going to go for two 271 00:11:47,548 --> 00:11:50,028 Speaker 6: to do? They kicked that extra point. No few plays 272 00:11:50,108 --> 00:11:52,348 Speaker 6: had a pass interference this that and the third Taylor 273 00:11:52,428 --> 00:11:54,988 Speaker 6: rap comes up huge with the interception. So as much 274 00:11:55,028 --> 00:11:57,508 Speaker 6: credit that goes to Josh Allen this semo. The defense 275 00:11:57,548 --> 00:12:00,028 Speaker 6: has stepped up. They've been huge for them, especially in 276 00:12:00,068 --> 00:12:02,108 Speaker 6: those games against big opponents. They've stepped up and really 277 00:12:02,108 --> 00:12:02,628 Speaker 6: stopped guys. 278 00:12:02,708 --> 00:12:05,348 Speaker 2: I'm having nostalgia for the way the build season ended 279 00:12:05,508 --> 00:12:08,788 Speaker 2: last year in the regular season and how emotionally drained. 280 00:12:08,908 --> 00:12:11,188 Speaker 3: We talked about how challenging. 281 00:12:10,828 --> 00:12:13,268 Speaker 2: That year was for the city and for the team, 282 00:12:13,428 --> 00:12:17,068 Speaker 2: and how the playoffs were just everything was charged. And 283 00:12:17,148 --> 00:12:20,548 Speaker 2: then you see this team and that punt return in particular, 284 00:12:20,668 --> 00:12:23,108 Speaker 2: feels like they are plugging this team in and it's 285 00:12:23,108 --> 00:12:25,708 Speaker 2: emotionally charged in a different way, like that kind of 286 00:12:25,748 --> 00:12:27,348 Speaker 2: punt return that gives you life. 287 00:12:27,508 --> 00:12:29,708 Speaker 3: Last year it was like that. You felt like the Bills. 288 00:12:29,788 --> 00:12:32,388 Speaker 2: You just wanted them to get to the finish line 289 00:12:32,388 --> 00:12:34,388 Speaker 2: and they couldn't get there because they were so exhausted. 290 00:12:34,588 --> 00:12:36,708 Speaker 2: This feels like a Bills team that's rested and that's 291 00:12:36,788 --> 00:12:38,268 Speaker 2: like ready to fire on all cylinders. 292 00:12:39,748 --> 00:12:42,788 Speaker 1: Bears Packers. Packers clinched a playoff berth with a win. 293 00:12:42,908 --> 00:12:45,668 Speaker 1: This was in Lambeau, Guys. This was not a great game. 294 00:12:45,788 --> 00:12:47,308 Speaker 1: It was a great game for the Packers. It was 295 00:12:47,388 --> 00:12:50,908 Speaker 1: not terribly competitive. It was ugly, it was sloppy, but 296 00:12:51,068 --> 00:12:52,148 Speaker 1: Jordan Love was really good. 297 00:12:52,228 --> 00:12:53,388 Speaker 4: I love the hate throws a lot. 298 00:12:53,548 --> 00:12:55,788 Speaker 5: They would hold on to win seventeen to nine. Jordan 299 00:12:55,828 --> 00:12:57,068 Speaker 5: Love has never lost to the Bears. 300 00:12:57,108 --> 00:12:59,308 Speaker 1: Matt Lafleor is never lost to the Bears, and the 301 00:12:59,388 --> 00:13:01,028 Speaker 1: Packers are going to the playoffs. 302 00:13:01,068 --> 00:13:02,028 Speaker 5: Awesome job by them. 303 00:13:02,268 --> 00:13:05,308 Speaker 3: This game played between what would become the six. 304 00:13:05,228 --> 00:13:08,628 Speaker 2: Seeded La Rams and the one seated San Francis for 305 00:13:08,708 --> 00:13:11,868 Speaker 2: forty nine ers. So smattering of stars are out of 306 00:13:11,948 --> 00:13:12,348 Speaker 2: this game. 307 00:13:12,388 --> 00:13:13,188 Speaker 5: So that's why you have a. 308 00:13:13,268 --> 00:13:16,748 Speaker 2: Carson Wentz throw to Pukakua and the highlight years that 309 00:13:16,788 --> 00:13:19,788 Speaker 2: Pookakua now set the single season rookie record with one 310 00:13:19,868 --> 00:13:23,468 Speaker 2: hundred and five catches and and eighty six receiving yards. 311 00:13:23,468 --> 00:13:25,308 Speaker 2: He had a great moment with his mom after Rams 312 00:13:25,348 --> 00:13:27,508 Speaker 2: win at twenty one to twenty. They're going to Detroit. 313 00:13:28,068 --> 00:13:30,788 Speaker 6: Not much meaning in that game. Well, the Cowboys game 314 00:13:30,908 --> 00:13:33,468 Speaker 6: has meaning. The Cowboys can't clinch the NFC East and 315 00:13:33,628 --> 00:13:36,788 Speaker 6: the number two spot in the NFC with a victory 316 00:13:36,868 --> 00:13:40,108 Speaker 6: or an Eagles off. All right, the Cowboys are absolutely rolling. 317 00:13:40,188 --> 00:13:43,788 Speaker 6: Jack Prescott four touchdowns, two hundred and seventy nine yards 318 00:13:44,068 --> 00:13:47,028 Speaker 6: and the Cowboys would go on to get the victory 319 00:13:47,268 --> 00:13:49,708 Speaker 6: in this one, thirty eight to ten. 320 00:13:49,868 --> 00:13:53,148 Speaker 4: I put that out there, dap are we choos out 321 00:13:53,148 --> 00:13:55,788 Speaker 4: the MVP now was an amazing finishing the seasons. 322 00:13:56,028 --> 00:13:58,468 Speaker 6: Lamar sis this guy. Okay, that's all I'm saying. I 323 00:13:58,588 --> 00:13:59,148 Speaker 6: appreciate it. 324 00:13:59,348 --> 00:14:01,348 Speaker 5: They decided a week good options, they say it. 325 00:14:01,428 --> 00:14:04,988 Speaker 6: They decided eighteen week season. There's okay, sorry, I love that. 326 00:14:05,108 --> 00:14:08,148 Speaker 6: Let's hear from Mike McCarthy. I'll be facing his former 327 00:14:08,228 --> 00:14:10,628 Speaker 6: team in Round one of the playoffs. See what you 328 00:14:10,668 --> 00:14:11,548 Speaker 6: have to say after the game. 329 00:14:13,228 --> 00:14:14,948 Speaker 7: I mean, I've had a good year. I haven't watched 330 00:14:14,988 --> 00:14:16,708 Speaker 7: him a whole lot, but yeah, the drama of it, 331 00:14:16,748 --> 00:14:19,028 Speaker 7: I'm sure you guys will love them. I will not 332 00:14:19,148 --> 00:14:20,148 Speaker 7: participate this year. 333 00:14:20,388 --> 00:14:22,868 Speaker 6: No, I tell you, it's it's playoff time. It doesn't 334 00:14:22,908 --> 00:14:23,588 Speaker 6: matter who we played. 335 00:14:23,588 --> 00:14:27,508 Speaker 4: To be honest with you, one team was happy men, 336 00:14:27,548 --> 00:14:29,988 Speaker 4: it's he's the other one, well, the other one's called 337 00:14:30,028 --> 00:14:34,308 Speaker 4: the Eagles. This was one of the most confusing outcomes 338 00:14:34,348 --> 00:14:36,268 Speaker 4: of the season. And yet, if you've been watching the 339 00:14:36,348 --> 00:14:39,068 Speaker 4: Eagles all season the last few weeks, they had no 340 00:14:39,188 --> 00:14:40,988 Speaker 4: right to beat the Giants the way they've been playing. Yep, 341 00:14:41,108 --> 00:14:45,348 Speaker 4: here's Nick Sirianni and Jalen Hurts after another strange, strange Sunday. 342 00:14:46,828 --> 00:14:49,188 Speaker 12: None of us are quitters. We all get up off 343 00:14:49,268 --> 00:14:51,628 Speaker 12: the mat when we're down, and we get up and 344 00:14:51,708 --> 00:14:54,348 Speaker 12: we keep going. When you get hit in life, when 345 00:14:54,388 --> 00:14:56,748 Speaker 12: you get hit in football, you've got two options. You 346 00:14:56,788 --> 00:14:58,868 Speaker 12: can stay down or you can get you can get 347 00:14:58,908 --> 00:14:59,428 Speaker 12: that up. 348 00:14:59,588 --> 00:15:03,948 Speaker 13: Right now, what's going on outside of us, anything external? 349 00:15:04,388 --> 00:15:07,148 Speaker 13: It's about controlling what we can, controlling what we can. 350 00:15:07,428 --> 00:15:09,828 Speaker 13: I truly believe this team it's more than capable, and 351 00:15:09,868 --> 00:15:12,228 Speaker 13: they taking advantage of what's in front of us. You 352 00:15:12,668 --> 00:15:14,228 Speaker 13: gotta do the work, and you got to you gotta 353 00:15:14,268 --> 00:15:16,948 Speaker 13: do what you need to do. But you know, all 354 00:15:16,988 --> 00:15:19,068 Speaker 13: you need is a crumb. All you need is an opportunity. 355 00:15:21,068 --> 00:15:21,868 Speaker 5: I needed a crumb. 356 00:15:21,988 --> 00:15:23,828 Speaker 6: Oh I need is an opportunity. They get the opportunity 357 00:15:23,868 --> 00:15:24,508 Speaker 6: to play Monday Night. 358 00:15:24,668 --> 00:15:28,028 Speaker 4: They're nice, eight days to rest, figure things out, but 359 00:15:28,108 --> 00:15:31,628 Speaker 4: they have to go to Tampa the five seed Eagles 360 00:15:31,828 --> 00:15:35,868 Speaker 4: at Tampa Bay Monday Night Football next Monday, be there 361 00:15:36,108 --> 00:15:38,828 Speaker 4: or b square. Will the Eagles be playing the divisional round? 362 00:15:39,388 --> 00:15:40,428 Speaker 4: That's a whole other question. 363 00:15:40,748 --> 00:15:42,588 Speaker 3: We saw that scene of A J. Brown limping off 364 00:15:42,628 --> 00:15:43,748 Speaker 3: the field in the Eagles game. 365 00:15:43,828 --> 00:15:46,028 Speaker 2: Mike Rofolo has tweeted that it doesn't appear to be 366 00:15:46,148 --> 00:15:48,788 Speaker 2: serious that Brown greeted his teammates, wasn't limping out of 367 00:15:48,828 --> 00:15:50,988 Speaker 2: locker room or anything. So eight days is good, I 368 00:15:51,028 --> 00:15:52,908 Speaker 2: think for this Eagles team if they want to turn 369 00:15:52,948 --> 00:15:53,788 Speaker 2: things around, and more. 370 00:15:53,708 --> 00:15:55,508 Speaker 6: Waste than one eight days, I don't know if that's 371 00:15:55,508 --> 00:15:57,508 Speaker 6: gonna be enough for them to turn things around. You're 372 00:15:57,548 --> 00:15:59,228 Speaker 6: watching that game Sunday, and I said, as we did 373 00:15:59,308 --> 00:16:01,788 Speaker 6: the Cowboys highlight, there was still so much on the 374 00:16:01,868 --> 00:16:04,348 Speaker 6: line for the Eagles and the Cowboys in that game, 375 00:16:04,588 --> 00:16:07,028 Speaker 6: an opportunity to win the Vision and have a home 376 00:16:07,108 --> 00:16:10,668 Speaker 6: playoff game. And here we are before halftime, Sirianni's pulling 377 00:16:10,948 --> 00:16:13,988 Speaker 6: Jalen Hurts Jason Kelce because the scores twenty four to 378 00:16:14,148 --> 00:16:16,268 Speaker 6: zero and the Eagles look like a team that you 379 00:16:16,348 --> 00:16:19,348 Speaker 6: can no longer recognize as someone that played in a 380 00:16:19,468 --> 00:16:21,828 Speaker 6: Super Bowl last year. This is back to back weeks. 381 00:16:21,828 --> 00:16:24,308 Speaker 6: They have lost to the Cardinals and now the Giants, 382 00:16:24,388 --> 00:16:27,108 Speaker 6: two teams that pick number four and number six in 383 00:16:27,188 --> 00:16:29,828 Speaker 6: the upcoming draft. The Eagles look like one of the 384 00:16:29,988 --> 00:16:32,308 Speaker 6: worst teams in the NFL. Is you watched them, they 385 00:16:32,348 --> 00:16:35,988 Speaker 6: couldn't get anything going on offense. Defensively, you have guys 386 00:16:36,188 --> 00:16:40,508 Speaker 6: missing tackles, people wide open, not covering anybody. It's hard 387 00:16:40,588 --> 00:16:42,748 Speaker 6: to pinpoint just one thing to say, all right, this 388 00:16:42,908 --> 00:16:45,188 Speaker 6: is what's wrong with this Eagles team. And we've been 389 00:16:45,228 --> 00:16:47,668 Speaker 6: saying it is like there hasn't been a catastrophic injury 390 00:16:47,708 --> 00:16:49,548 Speaker 6: or anything like that. And then you're watching that game 391 00:16:49,828 --> 00:16:52,548 Speaker 6: and AJ Brown goes down, Jalen Hurts, You mentioned Devonte 392 00:16:52,628 --> 00:16:55,348 Speaker 6: Smith isn't even out there right now that Cam Jurgens 393 00:16:55,388 --> 00:16:57,588 Speaker 6: gets it. There was so many different guys they lost 394 00:16:57,628 --> 00:17:01,068 Speaker 6: Sidney Brown to an ACL as well. So I just 395 00:17:01,188 --> 00:17:04,388 Speaker 6: don't see how this Eagles team just turns everything around 396 00:17:05,028 --> 00:17:06,788 Speaker 6: in eight days and now they just look like this 397 00:17:06,908 --> 00:17:09,908 Speaker 6: tremendous team coming out getting ready for the Wildcard Division. 398 00:17:09,948 --> 00:17:12,028 Speaker 6: It's crazy to think this is a team that was 399 00:17:12,148 --> 00:17:14,228 Speaker 6: ten and one at one point and now they've lost 400 00:17:14,308 --> 00:17:16,108 Speaker 6: back to back weeks to two teams out of a 401 00:17:16,188 --> 00:17:17,868 Speaker 6: combined ten wins the entire season. 402 00:17:18,068 --> 00:17:21,028 Speaker 4: I'm resisting the urge to spend the next five days 403 00:17:21,468 --> 00:17:25,268 Speaker 4: doing a eulogy for the Eagles. I'm resisting because I 404 00:17:25,308 --> 00:17:27,908 Speaker 4: don't think they're dead yet. They're in the playoffs, and 405 00:17:28,028 --> 00:17:30,588 Speaker 4: like that gets really dark, it gets really negative. But 406 00:17:30,668 --> 00:17:33,148 Speaker 4: I will go back to when things are riding high 407 00:17:33,428 --> 00:17:36,988 Speaker 4: and we were talking about that defensive line, Jalen Carter, 408 00:17:37,308 --> 00:17:41,468 Speaker 4: Jordan Davis, invisible, Hassan Reddick, you get, I don't know 409 00:17:41,548 --> 00:17:43,908 Speaker 4: what this defense is. And I watch it and I'm 410 00:17:43,908 --> 00:17:46,548 Speaker 4: watching Darius Slayton for the second time in four weeks 411 00:17:46,628 --> 00:17:48,748 Speaker 4: run up and down against the Eagles. I'm watching Sterling 412 00:17:48,788 --> 00:17:49,428 Speaker 4: Shepherd get. 413 00:17:49,348 --> 00:17:50,828 Speaker 5: His against the Eagles. 414 00:17:50,868 --> 00:17:55,028 Speaker 4: I'm watching Wandale Robinson look like Wandale Robinson looked as 415 00:17:55,108 --> 00:17:57,468 Speaker 4: if Wandale Robinson. Give me the analogy. 416 00:17:57,548 --> 00:18:00,308 Speaker 5: What ron I don't even know. It looked like he 417 00:18:00,428 --> 00:18:01,108 Speaker 5: was J Brown. 418 00:18:02,668 --> 00:18:04,788 Speaker 4: I need a more dynamic, I need a super I 419 00:18:04,828 --> 00:18:07,428 Speaker 4: mean an all timer. That's what Wandale Robinson looked against 420 00:18:07,428 --> 00:18:07,748 Speaker 4: the Eagles. 421 00:18:07,948 --> 00:18:09,788 Speaker 5: Looked like Larry Fitzgerald in the playoffs that one year. 422 00:18:09,868 --> 00:18:12,108 Speaker 4: You looked like Larry Fitzgerald going up against the Carolina 423 00:18:12,188 --> 00:18:13,988 Speaker 4: Panthers and Jake Deloman in the playoffs where he had 424 00:18:13,988 --> 00:18:15,228 Speaker 4: about twenty eight catches. 425 00:18:15,268 --> 00:18:18,388 Speaker 5: And that was Wandale Robinson against this Eagles defense. 426 00:18:18,788 --> 00:18:21,508 Speaker 4: The reason I'm resistingly urged to do a eulog is 427 00:18:21,588 --> 00:18:24,628 Speaker 4: because I've seen teams limp into the playoffs before. You 428 00:18:24,668 --> 00:18:27,828 Speaker 4: mentioned the Ravens from twenty twelve, even the Eagles, But 429 00:18:27,948 --> 00:18:29,588 Speaker 4: when they won the playoffs a couple of years ago 430 00:18:29,628 --> 00:18:31,348 Speaker 4: with Nick Foles, they didn't look great against the Raiders 431 00:18:31,388 --> 00:18:33,548 Speaker 4: in a game. They barely beat the Giants in a 432 00:18:33,628 --> 00:18:35,908 Speaker 4: game like I've seen it happen. But there was that 433 00:18:36,108 --> 00:18:38,348 Speaker 4: that moment last night at the Golden Globes where Selena 434 00:18:38,388 --> 00:18:40,628 Speaker 4: Gomez is whispering to Taylor Swift and Taylors was like 435 00:18:40,708 --> 00:18:43,708 Speaker 4: what that? I would love to know what the heck 436 00:18:43,828 --> 00:18:45,748 Speaker 4: is going on in that Eagles locker room right now, 437 00:18:45,828 --> 00:18:47,868 Speaker 4: and like what they're whispering to each other. I would 438 00:18:47,868 --> 00:18:49,668 Speaker 4: love a lip reader because it's easy for us to 439 00:18:49,708 --> 00:18:52,708 Speaker 4: be like, get the mojoe going, Sirianni gets emptied the 440 00:18:52,708 --> 00:18:54,828 Speaker 4: bag on that? So where's it gonna come from? 441 00:18:54,908 --> 00:18:55,588 Speaker 6: How's it gonna come? 442 00:18:55,628 --> 00:18:58,268 Speaker 4: And does it end against a Baker Mayfield led Tampa 443 00:18:58,308 --> 00:19:01,388 Speaker 4: Bay Buccaneers team who won nine nothing against the Carolina Panthers. 444 00:19:01,828 --> 00:19:05,268 Speaker 5: Might I hear you listen to the series point? I 445 00:19:05,348 --> 00:19:06,788 Speaker 5: have genuine love for Sirianni. 446 00:19:07,108 --> 00:19:09,388 Speaker 1: We're at the point, though, coach, like we need more 447 00:19:09,508 --> 00:19:11,788 Speaker 1: than the stock boxing metaphor. 448 00:19:11,988 --> 00:19:13,908 Speaker 5: I mean, Jesus, when you get hit in life, you 449 00:19:13,988 --> 00:19:15,828 Speaker 5: get in football. You got two options. You can stay down, 450 00:19:15,908 --> 00:19:17,308 Speaker 5: you can get the f up. And I know this 451 00:19:17,388 --> 00:19:20,028 Speaker 5: group is fighters. I know this group will get up. Coach, 452 00:19:20,068 --> 00:19:22,468 Speaker 5: your group has been asleep on the mat for six weeks. 453 00:19:22,868 --> 00:19:25,868 Speaker 1: They're stumbling around looking for their mouthpiece, and the referee 454 00:19:25,948 --> 00:19:26,508 Speaker 1: is calling for. 455 00:19:26,548 --> 00:19:27,988 Speaker 5: Their physician to come in the ring. 456 00:19:28,468 --> 00:19:30,748 Speaker 1: The other guy is standing up on the turnbuckles with 457 00:19:30,828 --> 00:19:33,948 Speaker 1: his hands up, and the other guy is Kyler Murray, 458 00:19:34,548 --> 00:19:35,468 Speaker 1: Tommy DeVito. 459 00:19:35,868 --> 00:19:40,388 Speaker 5: Like this is not some like boxing Balboa like he did. 460 00:19:41,028 --> 00:19:42,348 Speaker 5: The season is getting destroyed. 461 00:19:42,628 --> 00:19:44,668 Speaker 1: If I was going to even indulge you and give 462 00:19:44,748 --> 00:19:48,828 Speaker 1: you the boxing metaphor, this right now is Balboa lang 463 00:19:49,068 --> 00:19:52,348 Speaker 1: Won Rocky about a clober where like Balbo's head wasn't 464 00:19:52,348 --> 00:19:54,708 Speaker 1: even in the arena and he just got punched in 465 00:19:54,788 --> 00:19:57,628 Speaker 1: the face a thousand times. This is not the like, 466 00:19:58,028 --> 00:19:59,988 Speaker 1: it's not the fighting the dog, the dog, and it's 467 00:20:00,028 --> 00:20:01,148 Speaker 1: like all that of his nonsense. 468 00:20:01,188 --> 00:20:04,908 Speaker 5: We're way past that. The team is asleep, they're on conscious. 469 00:20:05,148 --> 00:20:05,828 Speaker 5: It is the worst. 470 00:20:06,028 --> 00:20:09,188 Speaker 1: It is Roy Jones Junior a sleep against Antonio tarveror 471 00:20:09,348 --> 00:20:12,428 Speaker 1: just face down not moving, the Simba gift where they're 472 00:20:12,428 --> 00:20:14,748 Speaker 1: trying to wake up the Eagles. We need more than 473 00:20:14,788 --> 00:20:16,548 Speaker 1: that coach you got eight days. I need more than 474 00:20:16,588 --> 00:20:19,668 Speaker 1: a boxing metaphor, because you guys are tk fo like 475 00:20:19,788 --> 00:20:22,868 Speaker 1: it's bad. It's really Get up, Get up, somebody get 476 00:20:22,868 --> 00:20:24,988 Speaker 1: into the emergency room, Mike. I hope they have good 477 00:20:25,028 --> 00:20:27,388 Speaker 1: ones in Tampa. That's where I're going. I guess, geez, 478 00:20:27,748 --> 00:20:28,108 Speaker 1: that's how. 479 00:20:28,068 --> 00:20:30,308 Speaker 2: You feel about Joe Coy's joke last night about Taylor 480 00:20:30,308 --> 00:20:32,308 Speaker 2: Swift and Travis Kelsey at fell of those flat as 481 00:20:32,348 --> 00:20:34,028 Speaker 2: that did you see her just sip her wine. 482 00:20:34,108 --> 00:20:35,628 Speaker 3: When he tried it, It's like, no, no, you don't 483 00:20:35,668 --> 00:20:35,828 Speaker 3: do that. 484 00:20:36,108 --> 00:20:37,548 Speaker 2: In terms of the lip reading, I think they were 485 00:20:37,588 --> 00:20:39,028 Speaker 2: talking about Timothy Shallomey. 486 00:20:39,228 --> 00:20:40,668 Speaker 3: You never know, you never know. 487 00:20:40,948 --> 00:20:44,868 Speaker 2: The NFC East recorded its nineteenth straight different champion yesterday 488 00:20:44,908 --> 00:20:47,268 Speaker 2: and when the Cowboys were crowned the NFC East title 489 00:20:47,348 --> 00:20:49,148 Speaker 2: last year is the Eagles and the Cowboys walked away 490 00:20:49,148 --> 00:20:51,068 Speaker 2: with it. This season, we'll get to the Cowboys still. 491 00:20:51,148 --> 00:20:53,948 Speaker 2: Come on our show, the twenty twenty three playoff picture. 492 00:20:53,988 --> 00:20:54,748 Speaker 5: It's it, you know what. 493 00:20:54,828 --> 00:20:56,988 Speaker 2: We're gonna break down the AFC side of things. 494 00:20:57,388 --> 00:20:59,788 Speaker 1: When we returned, Joe Coy had way more hits than 495 00:20:59,828 --> 00:21:01,988 Speaker 1: the Eagles defense. Joe Coy was like Eddie Murphy in 496 00:21:01,988 --> 00:21:04,068 Speaker 1: the eighties. Compared to the Eagles defense, it was Richard 497 00:21:04,108 --> 00:21:06,788 Speaker 1: cry just setting the stage on fire in It's. 498 00:21:06,708 --> 00:21:08,588 Speaker 6: An strategy going at Tayler switching. 499 00:21:08,828 --> 00:21:10,828 Speaker 5: Yeah, he's going to be the one. 500 00:21:21,748 --> 00:21:26,028 Speaker 2: Morning football New England Patriots and Bill Belichick, the seventy 501 00:21:26,068 --> 00:21:27,828 Speaker 2: one year old head coach, has been with the Patriots 502 00:21:27,868 --> 00:21:31,388 Speaker 2: now for twenty four years. He is oftentimes synonymous when 503 00:21:31,428 --> 00:21:33,308 Speaker 2: he goat or he may have been the originerator of 504 00:21:33,348 --> 00:21:35,748 Speaker 2: it when it comes to the football conversation. Bill Belichick 505 00:21:35,788 --> 00:21:39,108 Speaker 2: three hundred and two wins, third most in NFL history, 506 00:21:39,788 --> 00:21:42,988 Speaker 2: but his future in New England is seemingly up for grabs, 507 00:21:43,068 --> 00:21:45,108 Speaker 2: or at least that's been the topic of conversation in 508 00:21:45,148 --> 00:21:47,548 Speaker 2: the back half of the season and it has snowballed 509 00:21:47,588 --> 00:21:49,748 Speaker 2: since then. We are going to hear from him momentarily 510 00:21:49,788 --> 00:21:52,348 Speaker 2: here on NFL Network. He's going to address the media. Jason, 511 00:21:52,388 --> 00:21:54,828 Speaker 2: you played for him, you know him. What's the tenor 512 00:21:54,988 --> 00:21:55,428 Speaker 2: like right now? 513 00:21:55,708 --> 00:21:58,588 Speaker 6: He's just always business as usual. And Bill's one of 514 00:21:58,628 --> 00:22:00,988 Speaker 6: the best coaches I've ever had, and obviously everybody can 515 00:22:01,028 --> 00:22:03,668 Speaker 6: say that does been in that building around him. Just 516 00:22:03,788 --> 00:22:07,228 Speaker 6: very curious times. You think about the past twenty five years, 517 00:22:07,308 --> 00:22:09,508 Speaker 6: you haven't had an end of the season where we're 518 00:22:09,548 --> 00:22:11,708 Speaker 6: talking about this. I look at them, I look at 519 00:22:11,788 --> 00:22:14,708 Speaker 6: Dave Andrews, their senator captain. Last year. I remember him 520 00:22:14,748 --> 00:22:16,948 Speaker 6: being in tears talking about Devin mccordy as he was 521 00:22:17,028 --> 00:22:19,748 Speaker 6: getting ready to possibly retire this year. As Matthew Slater. 522 00:22:19,868 --> 00:22:23,188 Speaker 6: But it's two disappointing endings of the season. And as 523 00:22:23,228 --> 00:22:25,748 Speaker 6: you're watching that game and you said it, the Snow's falling. 524 00:22:25,868 --> 00:22:28,868 Speaker 6: It's an ugly game. There's no points score. Reese Hall 525 00:22:28,988 --> 00:22:32,348 Speaker 6: is jetting down the sideline. Fifteen game winning streak snapped 526 00:22:32,388 --> 00:22:34,988 Speaker 6: against the Jets and shrike. Something you said last week 527 00:22:35,028 --> 00:22:37,508 Speaker 6: as we talked about Tom Brady's last game with the 528 00:22:37,548 --> 00:22:40,068 Speaker 6: New England Patriots. There was a pick six by Logan Ryan, 529 00:22:40,348 --> 00:22:41,908 Speaker 6: and the one thing you said was, these things don't 530 00:22:41,948 --> 00:22:44,348 Speaker 6: always end gracefully, and you ride out on his white 531 00:22:44,388 --> 00:22:48,628 Speaker 6: horse or anything. That was ugly yesterday and they didn't 532 00:22:48,628 --> 00:22:51,468 Speaker 6: get the victory the whole nine. So I can't wait 533 00:22:51,468 --> 00:22:53,268 Speaker 6: to see this press conference see what Bill has to say. 534 00:22:53,868 --> 00:22:56,748 Speaker 4: I monitored every press availability he did the last week, 535 00:22:56,948 --> 00:22:59,148 Speaker 4: and he kept on using that we're only talking about 536 00:22:59,188 --> 00:23:01,188 Speaker 4: the Jets as like a crutch, we're only talking about 537 00:23:01,188 --> 00:23:04,028 Speaker 4: the Jets. Meanwhile, I'm watching the broadcast with Chris Myers 538 00:23:04,108 --> 00:23:06,108 Speaker 4: and Robert Smith and they're talking about how Belichick was 539 00:23:06,148 --> 00:23:08,908 Speaker 4: under the weather all week. You look at him, he 540 00:23:09,028 --> 00:23:10,668 Speaker 4: had that snow that he had the mask on for 541 00:23:10,668 --> 00:23:12,348 Speaker 4: a while. He just and then at the end like 542 00:23:12,868 --> 00:23:15,508 Speaker 4: this this moment of like a handshake with solid but 543 00:23:15,588 --> 00:23:17,468 Speaker 4: like nowhere words very short, and you're like, is that 544 00:23:17,588 --> 00:23:20,988 Speaker 4: how it ends? That's it like nothing against Chris Myers 545 00:23:21,028 --> 00:23:23,628 Speaker 4: and Robert Smith. This wasn't a Super Bowl broadcast. This 546 00:23:23,948 --> 00:23:27,068 Speaker 4: wasn't you know, with with Belichick riding high and it's 547 00:23:27,108 --> 00:23:28,988 Speaker 4: like he only talked about the Jets last week. It 548 00:23:29,028 --> 00:23:30,228 Speaker 4: was I'd like to focus on the Jets. 549 00:23:30,268 --> 00:23:30,828 Speaker 6: Like to talk about that. 550 00:23:31,748 --> 00:23:33,348 Speaker 4: You can't hide today. So he's gonna have a press 551 00:23:33,348 --> 00:23:36,588 Speaker 4: availability now like that. Media is going to ask him questions. 552 00:23:36,668 --> 00:23:38,668 Speaker 4: I'm curious to see if he actually answers any of 553 00:23:38,708 --> 00:23:40,468 Speaker 4: them or if he's like all onto the next day. 554 00:23:40,508 --> 00:23:42,548 Speaker 5: There's nowhere to go next, There's nowhere to go next. 555 00:23:43,028 --> 00:23:44,828 Speaker 5: Talk about this right. 556 00:23:44,828 --> 00:23:45,548 Speaker 6: Well, here's where we go. 557 00:23:45,748 --> 00:23:47,948 Speaker 2: He is speaking to the media right now from New England. 558 00:23:48,388 --> 00:23:50,308 Speaker 3: We are going to it live. 559 00:23:50,428 --> 00:23:53,588 Speaker 2: He began speaking moments ago after the Patriots regular season 560 00:23:53,668 --> 00:23:54,508 Speaker 2: finale yesterday. 561 00:23:54,548 --> 00:23:55,108 Speaker 3: Let's listen it. 562 00:23:56,068 --> 00:23:56,628 Speaker 1: All right, thank you. 563 00:23:57,668 --> 00:23:59,788 Speaker 8: We'll kind of follow up a couple of things from yesterday. 564 00:24:01,268 --> 00:24:04,388 Speaker 8: You know, as I said, it was obviously very disappoint 565 00:24:04,388 --> 00:24:08,988 Speaker 8: a season all the way around, players, coaches, staff, organization. 566 00:24:09,188 --> 00:24:12,588 Speaker 8: You know, everybody's not not anywhere close to what our 567 00:24:12,668 --> 00:24:16,308 Speaker 8: standard and expectations are. So you know, honestly, things that 568 00:24:16,348 --> 00:24:18,908 Speaker 8: need to be fixed. Proud of the way the players 569 00:24:18,948 --> 00:24:22,508 Speaker 8: and the team competed, but not the results obviously from 570 00:24:22,548 --> 00:24:24,748 Speaker 8: any of us. You know, start with me, and you know, 571 00:24:25,068 --> 00:24:27,748 Speaker 8: all the way down and everybody else that was involved 572 00:24:27,788 --> 00:24:29,748 Speaker 8: in I know we all feel the same way. So 573 00:24:30,228 --> 00:24:33,228 Speaker 8: I'm in our contract do what I always do, which is, 574 00:24:33,628 --> 00:24:35,788 Speaker 8: you know, every day I come in work as hard 575 00:24:35,788 --> 00:24:38,228 Speaker 8: as I can to help the team in whatever way 576 00:24:38,308 --> 00:24:40,188 Speaker 8: I can. That's what I'm going to continue to do. 577 00:24:41,988 --> 00:24:46,228 Speaker 2: Zoom The voice of Bill Belichick trails off in the 578 00:24:46,308 --> 00:24:46,828 Speaker 2: Zoomer world. 579 00:24:46,988 --> 00:24:48,828 Speaker 4: We see it's good morning football show. 580 00:24:48,828 --> 00:24:49,308 Speaker 6: I'm good with that. 581 00:24:50,028 --> 00:24:52,188 Speaker 2: Of course that was Bill Belichick after the Patriots wrapped 582 00:24:52,228 --> 00:24:54,868 Speaker 2: up yet another disappointing season, things like things need to 583 00:24:54,948 --> 00:24:58,668 Speaker 2: be fixed. But pointedly, I'm under contract and Bill Belichick 584 00:24:58,788 --> 00:25:01,188 Speaker 2: is going to return to his job the next day, 585 00:25:01,268 --> 00:25:03,948 Speaker 2: and it's way too early to talk about decisions that 586 00:25:04,068 --> 00:25:05,228 Speaker 2: need to be made for next year. 587 00:25:05,588 --> 00:25:08,628 Speaker 3: Peter coach. Bill Belichick looked dejected though. 588 00:25:08,748 --> 00:25:11,548 Speaker 4: Yeah, that was like a broken Belichick. We've been seeing 589 00:25:11,548 --> 00:25:12,988 Speaker 4: that version of him. And of course it's the day 590 00:25:13,028 --> 00:25:15,988 Speaker 4: after eighteen weeks, the worst season they've had since he's 591 00:25:16,028 --> 00:25:18,308 Speaker 4: been there. And then you look at the future here 592 00:25:18,788 --> 00:25:20,948 Speaker 4: they're gonna have a conversation he and Robert Craft's gonna 593 00:25:20,948 --> 00:25:22,708 Speaker 4: happen in the next couple of days. He's not gonna 594 00:25:22,788 --> 00:25:24,828 Speaker 4: let this linger on because if they're gonna move on, 595 00:25:24,868 --> 00:25:26,308 Speaker 4: they've got to go through the entire search, and that 596 00:25:26,348 --> 00:25:28,628 Speaker 4: doesn't start until January twenty first, where you can actually 597 00:25:28,628 --> 00:25:32,508 Speaker 4: officially interview people. But I can't imagine this thing lingering lingering, lingering. 598 00:25:32,588 --> 00:25:34,908 Speaker 4: And I look at some of the other possible opportunities 599 00:25:34,908 --> 00:25:36,748 Speaker 4: that are gonna be open, like Washington might be open, 600 00:25:36,828 --> 00:25:40,068 Speaker 4: the Chargers might be open. There's gonna be some really 601 00:25:40,188 --> 00:25:44,668 Speaker 4: really appetizing other places with better opportunities with young rosters 602 00:25:44,748 --> 00:25:47,908 Speaker 4: or better opportunities with young quarterbacks that I think Bill 603 00:25:48,028 --> 00:25:50,068 Speaker 4: might want to be on a pivot and see if 604 00:25:50,068 --> 00:25:52,068 Speaker 4: he wants to move on and explore those. So this 605 00:25:52,468 --> 00:25:55,628 Speaker 4: was kind of a carryover from yesterday's press conference after 606 00:25:55,668 --> 00:25:57,788 Speaker 4: the game, where it was like, still talking about yesterday, 607 00:25:58,228 --> 00:26:00,428 Speaker 4: but I didn't get a pointed question of are you 608 00:26:00,588 --> 00:26:01,228 Speaker 4: returning or not? 609 00:26:01,628 --> 00:26:02,828 Speaker 6: How I think that's what you were looking for. 610 00:26:03,628 --> 00:26:07,108 Speaker 1: Listen there in the Patriots media scrum, and they got 611 00:26:07,108 --> 00:26:09,148 Speaker 1: a lot of questions. But with all the respect to 612 00:26:09,188 --> 00:26:11,828 Speaker 1: his inability to develop the defensive line this year, like are. 613 00:26:11,748 --> 00:26:12,548 Speaker 5: You coaching next year? 614 00:26:12,708 --> 00:26:12,748 Speaker 7: Like? 615 00:26:12,868 --> 00:26:14,228 Speaker 1: And if he's going to dodge it, let's hear it 616 00:26:14,268 --> 00:26:16,788 Speaker 1: again and again and again. This is not just your 617 00:26:16,828 --> 00:26:19,308 Speaker 1: average end of the season. Yes, I'm not there, and 618 00:26:19,388 --> 00:26:21,108 Speaker 1: maybe they'll come and maybe they already have it. I 619 00:26:21,228 --> 00:26:23,588 Speaker 1: really would like to hear pointed direct questions about Bill, 620 00:26:23,908 --> 00:26:24,988 Speaker 1: are you going to stay? 621 00:26:25,148 --> 00:26:25,788 Speaker 5: Are you leaving? 622 00:26:25,868 --> 00:26:28,028 Speaker 1: And even if he dodges it, hit him again, this 623 00:26:28,228 --> 00:26:29,988 Speaker 1: is the time I only think, like, I kind of 624 00:26:29,988 --> 00:26:32,228 Speaker 1: disagree with you, peer the advantage Bill has with prs 625 00:26:32,228 --> 00:26:34,228 Speaker 1: that like sometimes I've seen him look that way at 626 00:26:34,228 --> 00:26:37,348 Speaker 1: a Super Bowl press conference. He always looks like a hostage, 627 00:26:37,388 --> 00:26:39,388 Speaker 1: Like you couldn't if you put that up, You're like, 628 00:26:39,508 --> 00:26:40,908 Speaker 1: did you you just have the worst season ever? Need 629 00:26:40,948 --> 00:26:42,588 Speaker 1: to win another Super Bowl? I have no idea what 630 00:26:42,748 --> 00:26:43,268 Speaker 1: you take away. 631 00:26:43,788 --> 00:26:45,428 Speaker 6: The one thing he did say, you said still on 632 00:26:45,508 --> 00:26:48,188 Speaker 6: the contract. And Judye Batista asks him yesterday about just 633 00:26:48,308 --> 00:26:50,428 Speaker 6: wanting to continue to coach, and he said how much 634 00:26:50,588 --> 00:26:52,748 Speaker 6: he still enjoys coaching, game planning. 635 00:26:52,468 --> 00:26:53,028 Speaker 5: And a whole nine. 636 00:26:53,108 --> 00:26:54,988 Speaker 6: So we know that part of it. But yeah, as 637 00:26:55,028 --> 00:26:57,068 Speaker 6: you listen, you know Bill's not going to come out 638 00:26:57,108 --> 00:26:59,268 Speaker 6: and just say different things about the future and the 639 00:26:59,348 --> 00:27:01,788 Speaker 6: fact that in that clip that we had he wasn't 640 00:27:01,868 --> 00:27:04,108 Speaker 6: asked about it. You don't gain anything from what we 641 00:27:04,188 --> 00:27:06,828 Speaker 6: know a disappointing season. We watched it all kind of 642 00:27:06,908 --> 00:27:09,668 Speaker 6: developed throughout the season. But who knows, I catch on. 643 00:27:09,708 --> 00:27:10,228 Speaker 5: May one more time. 644 00:27:10,308 --> 00:27:12,628 Speaker 4: In twenty four years of the Patriots, Bill Belichick has 645 00:27:12,668 --> 00:27:13,988 Speaker 4: never mentioned his contract publicly. 646 00:27:14,068 --> 00:27:17,228 Speaker 5: Interesting, okay, never mentioned his contract public under contract? Is 647 00:27:17,388 --> 00:27:18,268 Speaker 5: under contracted? Is? 648 00:27:18,428 --> 00:27:20,868 Speaker 4: He's never talked about a how many years he's under 649 00:27:20,868 --> 00:27:21,348 Speaker 4: a contract? 650 00:27:21,388 --> 00:27:23,828 Speaker 6: How much money he makes all this time, I guess 651 00:27:23,868 --> 00:27:25,988 Speaker 6: has never been questioned. So there has never been a reason. 652 00:27:26,108 --> 00:27:28,068 Speaker 5: You never heard him say I'm under contract. 653 00:27:28,308 --> 00:27:30,228 Speaker 4: So like to me, that one thing stands out where 654 00:27:30,308 --> 00:27:32,268 Speaker 4: like now it's going to be, hey, I'm going to 655 00:27:32,308 --> 00:27:34,268 Speaker 4: be able to handle my narrative here, I'm under contract. 656 00:27:34,428 --> 00:27:34,548 Speaker 5: He do. 657 00:27:34,708 --> 00:27:35,508 Speaker 3: Let me ask you this question. 658 00:27:35,588 --> 00:27:37,308 Speaker 2: And this is something that we saw last year with 659 00:27:37,308 --> 00:27:40,748 Speaker 2: Sean Payton, the elusive coaching trade that doesn't happen a lot, 660 00:27:40,788 --> 00:27:43,228 Speaker 2: but when it does very sexy. The coaching trade concept 661 00:27:43,308 --> 00:27:45,428 Speaker 2: has been one that's been floated with Bill Belichick. 662 00:27:46,028 --> 00:27:47,228 Speaker 3: Is the coaching trade? 663 00:27:47,588 --> 00:27:50,068 Speaker 2: Beholden it all to that January twenty first deadline that 664 00:27:50,148 --> 00:27:52,348 Speaker 2: you just mentioned in terms of interviews, and like that's 665 00:27:52,388 --> 00:27:54,508 Speaker 2: when the window opens up, or can a trade for 666 00:27:54,588 --> 00:27:56,348 Speaker 2: a head coach be conducted at any time? 667 00:27:56,388 --> 00:27:58,508 Speaker 4: My question, I don't know that answered. I think you 668 00:27:58,588 --> 00:28:01,028 Speaker 4: know that new January twenty first window is brand new. 669 00:28:01,068 --> 00:28:02,508 Speaker 4: It used to be you could start hiring coaches and 670 00:28:02,508 --> 00:28:04,148 Speaker 4: the interviewing coaches right away, but now they want to 671 00:28:04,148 --> 00:28:06,348 Speaker 4: wait the divisional around.

First, 700 00:29:26,188 --> 00:29:27,828 Speaker 9: you guys mentioned the Derek Henry thing. 701 00:29:28,068 --> 00:29:28,908 Speaker 5: That was his idea. 702 00:29:29,188 --> 00:29:32,028 Speaker 9: You know, we've seen plenty of like sort of prepackaged 703 00:29:32,068 --> 00:29:34,828 Speaker 9: social media goodbyes and that's all fine, and I know 704 00:29:34,908 --> 00:29:38,068 Speaker 9: it's meaningful. That was basically Dereck Henry by himself being like, 705 00:29:38,428 --> 00:29:39,508 Speaker 9: let me get the microphone. 706 00:29:39,588 --> 00:29:41,868 Speaker 6: I want to thank these fans. It's been an amazing tenure. 707 00:29:41,908 --> 00:29:44,428 Speaker 9: And that's that was as authentic as it comes for 708 00:29:44,508 --> 00:29:46,508 Speaker 9: Derek Henry who is clear saying goodbye and going to 709 00:29:46,508 --> 00:29:49,548 Speaker 9: be a free agent watching that. That was honestly, that 710 00:29:49,588 --> 00:29:52,308 Speaker 9: was pretty cool and very heartwarming. But yes, let's get 711 00:29:52,348 --> 00:29:55,108 Speaker 9: to some not as fun stuff. Let's talk about Arthur 712 00:29:55,188 --> 00:29:59,308 Speaker 9: Smith twelve two ams when the Falcons officially fired their 713 00:29:59,348 --> 00:30:02,468 Speaker 9: head coach for the last three seasons seven, ten, seven, ten, 714 00:30:02,948 --> 00:30:06,548 Speaker 9: seven and ten. This these so much of the struggles 715 00:30:06,588 --> 00:30:08,748 Speaker 9: guys can be traced back to the quarterback situation. 716 00:30:09,188 --> 00:30:10,668 Speaker 5: You know, they rebuilt this thing. 717 00:30:10,748 --> 00:30:13,028 Speaker 9: Arthur Smith, the terry find of the general manager over 718 00:30:13,028 --> 00:30:15,268 Speaker 9: the last couple of years from salary cap hell. They 719 00:30:15,348 --> 00:30:16,348 Speaker 9: really set a foundation. 720 00:30:16,508 --> 00:30:18,668 Speaker 5: All they really needed was a quarterback and they believed 721 00:30:18,988 --> 00:30:19,508 Speaker 5: that they had. 722 00:30:19,588 --> 00:30:23,068 Speaker 9: When in Desmond, ritter just did not happen, did not 723 00:30:23,188 --> 00:30:25,828 Speaker 9: play well enough, bench twice and quarterback played dooming them 724 00:30:25,868 --> 00:30:28,708 Speaker 9: at the end. In the end, Arthur Blank decided enough 725 00:30:28,868 --> 00:30:32,668 Speaker 9: was enough, firing Arthur Smith as their head coach. 726 00:30:33,108 --> 00:30:36,188 Speaker 5: Now they had created the fourth opening in the NFL. 727 00:30:36,428 --> 00:30:40,108 Speaker 9: Meanwhile, for the Washington Commanders, they also are expected two 728 00:30:40,228 --> 00:30:41,588 Speaker 9: part ways with their head coach. 729 00:30:41,628 --> 00:30:42,188 Speaker 6: One of the more. 730 00:30:42,108 --> 00:30:45,388 Speaker 9: Respected voices in the NFL, Ron River, who has been coached, 731 00:30:45,748 --> 00:30:50,108 Speaker 9: spokesman many other jobs over the last four years. He 732 00:30:50,188 --> 00:30:53,068 Speaker 9: has expected to be let go at some point today, 733 00:30:53,148 --> 00:30:55,068 Speaker 9: Josh Harris fining the team for six point zero five 734 00:30:55,108 --> 00:30:58,228 Speaker 9: billion dollars, wants to put his stamp on it, and really, guys, 735 00:30:58,668 --> 00:31:01,268 Speaker 9: the new coach of the eventual new coach, the command 736 00:31:01,388 --> 00:31:04,348 Speaker 9: is going to inherit an incredible situation including a team 737 00:31:04,588 --> 00:31:07,428 Speaker 9: now has the number two overall pick. And then we've 738 00:31:07,468 --> 00:31:11,028 Speaker 9: talked about the Titans before. Another Titans topic. Mike Vrabel. 739 00:31:11,148 --> 00:31:12,788 Speaker 9: I think it's fair to say his status is a 740 00:31:12,828 --> 00:31:16,668 Speaker 9: little uncertain in Tennessee. He has said publicly that he wants. 741 00:31:16,428 --> 00:31:16,788 Speaker 10: To be there. 742 00:31:16,788 --> 00:31:19,908 Speaker 9: Another relationship between him and general manager Ran Carthun seems 743 00:31:19,908 --> 00:31:22,708 Speaker 9: to be a good one. But there are some questions 744 00:31:22,748 --> 00:31:24,388 Speaker 9: that need to be asked. There's some questions need to 745 00:31:24,428 --> 00:31:27,108 Speaker 9: be answered. There's some ways that it does sound like 746 00:31:27,148 --> 00:31:28,428 Speaker 9: they're going to want to move forward. 747 00:31:28,668 --> 00:31:30,108 Speaker 6: I don't know what the answers are going to be. 748 00:31:30,228 --> 00:31:32,788 Speaker 9: I'm not going to be in that room unfortunately with 749 00:31:32,948 --> 00:31:35,308 Speaker 9: the owner and with Mike Rabel, So until we know 750 00:31:35,388 --> 00:31:37,748 Speaker 9: what happens in that meeting, I think we do not 751 00:31:37,948 --> 00:31:39,788 Speaker 9: know for sure whether he's going to be the coach 752 00:31:39,868 --> 00:31:40,268 Speaker 9: next year. 753 00:31:42,188 --> 00:31:45,588 Speaker 2: Wow, interesting scene that is set in Tennessee for this 754 00:31:45,748 --> 00:31:49,148 Speaker 2: offseason as they had management change last year, and now 755 00:31:49,228 --> 00:31:52,148 Speaker 2: they look ahead to a free agent running back situation 756 00:31:52,308 --> 00:31:54,508 Speaker 2: and a head coach which we will I'm sure track 757 00:31:54,508 --> 00:31:57,348 Speaker 2: Ian Rappaport, Thank you so much, Kyle, speaking of the 758 00:31:57,388 --> 00:31:59,628 Speaker 2: news out of Atlanta yesterday, just really curious the. 759 00:31:59,588 --> 00:32:02,148 Speaker 1: Way they came all right, Falcon, Saints, both of these 760 00:32:02,188 --> 00:32:04,188 Speaker 1: teams could have won the NFC South title as the 761 00:32:04,188 --> 00:32:05,828 Speaker 1: game kicked off, but the game's going to be more 762 00:32:05,868 --> 00:32:07,428 Speaker 1: interesting for what happened afterwards. 763 00:32:07,468 --> 00:32:09,468 Speaker 5: The game will get out of hand, and there's Arthur 764 00:32:09,508 --> 00:32:10,028 Speaker 5: Smith just. 765 00:32:10,068 --> 00:32:12,428 Speaker 1: Doing the full pinched the bridger of your nose stressed 766 00:32:12,468 --> 00:32:14,788 Speaker 1: out gesture at the end of the game with the 767 00:32:14,868 --> 00:32:19,828 Speaker 1: Saints way way up, so something crazy happened. They're forty 768 00:32:19,868 --> 00:32:22,428 Speaker 1: one to seventeen. They're in victory formation and Jamis who's 769 00:32:22,468 --> 00:32:24,788 Speaker 1: in the game, hands off to Jamal Williams who punches 770 00:32:24,828 --> 00:32:28,148 Speaker 1: in a touchdown with a minute and change left. That's 771 00:32:28,468 --> 00:32:32,828 Speaker 1: Arthur Smith confronting Dennis Allen, the Saints coach, and they're 772 00:32:32,908 --> 00:32:35,388 Speaker 1: ready to go, at least he is, and there's you 773 00:32:35,468 --> 00:32:37,108 Speaker 1: can do this, and here's what you can do, and 774 00:32:37,148 --> 00:32:38,388 Speaker 1: here's what you can do to a part. 775 00:32:38,308 --> 00:32:39,908 Speaker 5: Of my body. It's all kinds of stuff like the 776 00:32:40,028 --> 00:32:42,948 Speaker 5: real deal. Dennis Allen does not fire back. It is 777 00:32:43,028 --> 00:32:45,868 Speaker 5: not sure back. But Arthur Smith, this is before he 778 00:32:46,028 --> 00:32:46,388 Speaker 5: was let. 779 00:32:46,348 --> 00:32:49,588 Speaker 1: Go, obviously had a few things to say, really choice stuff. 780 00:32:49,668 --> 00:32:51,988 Speaker 1: Did not like that the Saints punched in a touchdown, 781 00:32:52,148 --> 00:32:53,468 Speaker 1: especially the way that they did it. 782 00:32:53,788 --> 00:32:54,548 Speaker 5: So let's dig in. 783 00:32:54,948 --> 00:32:57,468 Speaker 1: Here's the head coach of the Saints, Dennis Allen, and 784 00:32:57,628 --> 00:33:01,468 Speaker 1: here's Jamis after the Saints win and the very controversial ending. 785 00:33:02,188 --> 00:33:03,948 Speaker 7: That was not a play that we intended to run 786 00:33:04,028 --> 00:33:06,188 Speaker 7: down there to finish out that game. That's not who 787 00:33:06,228 --> 00:33:08,428 Speaker 7: we are, that's not how we operate. We should have 788 00:33:08,468 --> 00:33:10,508 Speaker 7: taken a knee. So I want to apologize to them. 789 00:33:10,788 --> 00:33:12,788 Speaker 7: We should have taken a knee right there. They asked 790 00:33:12,828 --> 00:33:15,548 Speaker 7: me about getting Jamal a touchdown at the end. I said, 791 00:33:15,548 --> 00:33:17,308 Speaker 7: I wanted to take a knee. We put victory out 792 00:33:17,348 --> 00:33:19,148 Speaker 7: there and the guys kind of wanted to get him 793 00:33:19,188 --> 00:33:21,268 Speaker 7: a touchdown and they did that on their own. That's 794 00:33:21,308 --> 00:33:25,628 Speaker 7: not that's unacceptable. Well, I apologize to Day because the 795 00:33:25,708 --> 00:33:29,148 Speaker 7: play was victory, but I also explained to d A 796 00:33:29,548 --> 00:33:30,428 Speaker 7: it was a team decision. 797 00:33:30,508 --> 00:33:33,068 Speaker 5: Yea, And uh, and I think when you have the team. 798 00:33:32,908 --> 00:33:34,708 Speaker 13: Around and I actually guys, I say, guys, like, what 799 00:33:34,788 --> 00:33:36,028 Speaker 13: do you what do you want to do? We know 800 00:33:36,068 --> 00:33:38,508 Speaker 13: how much Jamal means to this team, and I understood 801 00:33:38,588 --> 00:33:40,948 Speaker 13: from DA's perspective, so I give him that. 802 00:33:42,268 --> 00:33:45,308 Speaker 5: But they didn't condone that at all, you know, he didn't. 803 00:33:45,628 --> 00:33:47,748 Speaker 7: However, we decided as a team to do it, and 804 00:33:48,308 --> 00:33:49,508 Speaker 7: we got an interception to the one. 805 00:33:49,428 --> 00:33:53,468 Speaker 13: Yard linee you know, like, so if if we were scored, 806 00:33:53,708 --> 00:33:55,028 Speaker 13: what instead would have been disrespected? 807 00:33:57,868 --> 00:34:01,828 Speaker 2: As James Smithson explaining why the team decided to go 808 00:34:02,268 --> 00:34:04,108 Speaker 2: for the play after the play was called in to 809 00:34:04,188 --> 00:34:07,908 Speaker 2: take Jamis said, team decision to punch in the touchdown. Jason, 810 00:34:07,988 --> 00:34:09,708 Speaker 2: if you were in that locker room or watching it 811 00:34:09,788 --> 00:34:11,428 Speaker 2: from outside, your thoughts. 812 00:34:11,268 --> 00:34:14,828 Speaker 6: Protect Jamis at all calls is a New Orleans legend. 813 00:34:15,428 --> 00:34:17,468 Speaker 5: The team was all around it. 814 00:34:17,548 --> 00:34:20,028 Speaker 6: They all were in favor of it. Listen, like, I 815 00:34:20,108 --> 00:34:22,508 Speaker 6: get it. I understand exactly why Arthur smith is upset 816 00:34:22,588 --> 00:34:25,188 Speaker 6: during victory formation they score a touchdown from Jameis Winston 817 00:34:25,428 --> 00:34:27,548 Speaker 6: and the Saints. I don't give a damn. We were 818 00:34:27,628 --> 00:34:30,468 Speaker 6: trying to get our guy a touchdown at the end 819 00:34:30,508 --> 00:34:32,868 Speaker 6: of the game. My favorite quote from Jamis at Dame 820 00:34:32,988 --> 00:34:35,228 Speaker 6: was like, we got an interception returning to the one 821 00:34:35,268 --> 00:34:37,548 Speaker 6: yard line. If we would score on the interception, and 822 00:34:37,588 --> 00:34:40,988 Speaker 6: then what, I love it. It's probably not the way 823 00:34:41,028 --> 00:34:43,308 Speaker 6: you should do things. I think there's a bigger conversation 824 00:34:43,428 --> 00:34:45,228 Speaker 6: of them saying, you know what, Dennis Allen, like, we 825 00:34:45,308 --> 00:34:48,148 Speaker 6: know you said take a knee. We have a better decision. 826 00:34:48,468 --> 00:34:50,268 Speaker 6: We're gonna do it our own way. We'll go out 827 00:34:50,268 --> 00:34:53,108 Speaker 6: there and Saints season's over. You got your guy a 828 00:34:53,228 --> 00:34:56,988 Speaker 6: touchdown at seventeen last year, his first one of the season. 829 00:34:57,348 --> 00:34:59,508 Speaker 6: Team around, they celebrate it. Hey, you don't want him 830 00:34:59,508 --> 00:34:59,828 Speaker 6: to score? 831 00:34:59,908 --> 00:35:02,788 Speaker 4: Stop them. I love the locker room afterwards they go 832 00:35:02,908 --> 00:35:05,148 Speaker 4: through it all and Derek Carr is like, uh, you 833 00:35:05,268 --> 00:35:07,508 Speaker 4: know it, go get the exactly. I'm not going to 834 00:35:07,588 --> 00:35:10,468 Speaker 4: misquote him, but it was basically saying, I'm happy for Jamal, 835 00:35:10,548 --> 00:35:12,148 Speaker 4: but like I understand the whole situation. 836 00:35:12,268 --> 00:35:14,348 Speaker 6: I know that's not what our offensive coordinator called, Like 837 00:35:14,468 --> 00:35:14,988 Speaker 6: there are cars. 838 00:35:15,028 --> 00:35:17,468 Speaker 4: The adult in the room like, yeah, it's right for Jamal, 839 00:35:17,748 --> 00:35:19,788 Speaker 4: And then Kalais Campbell, who's the adult on the other side, 840 00:35:19,908 --> 00:35:22,588 Speaker 4: was like, I get it, but like we're in victory formation, 841 00:35:23,428 --> 00:35:24,308 Speaker 4: Like don't deceive us. 842 00:35:24,388 --> 00:35:26,148 Speaker 5: Just run a play, like do you think it happens 843 00:35:26,188 --> 00:35:27,228 Speaker 5: if cars room? No? 844 00:35:27,468 --> 00:35:32,228 Speaker 4: No, no, no, no, Like we talked about it, giggling 845 00:35:32,228 --> 00:35:34,548 Speaker 4: because it's so Jamis, he's one of one. Like I 846 00:35:34,628 --> 00:35:37,468 Speaker 4: don't think that Jamal Williams gets like two million dollars 847 00:35:37,548 --> 00:35:38,348 Speaker 4: for that touchdown. 848 00:35:38,348 --> 00:35:39,748 Speaker 5: I think it's just like we wanted Jamal. 849 00:35:39,988 --> 00:35:40,988 Speaker 6: He's a fun, loving. 850 00:35:40,748 --> 00:35:42,468 Speaker 5: Guy, we love. We want to get him a touchdown. 851 00:35:42,668 --> 00:35:44,308 Speaker 5: I think if it's not Jameis, it doesn't happen. And 852 00:35:44,348 --> 00:35:45,588 Speaker 5: I think it's not Jamal, it doesn't happen. 853 00:35:45,628 --> 00:35:47,668 Speaker 6: Jason Hill's lined up one hundred yards behind the line 854 00:35:47,668 --> 00:35:48,068 Speaker 6: of script. 855 00:35:48,908 --> 00:35:51,028 Speaker 1: This thing took such a turn because for a while, 856 00:35:51,108 --> 00:35:53,348 Speaker 1: in real time, if you're watching it, you're like, damn, 857 00:35:53,428 --> 00:35:54,748 Speaker 1: Dennis Allen did him like that? 858 00:35:54,868 --> 00:35:56,788 Speaker 5: That's so cool? Like why would he do that? 859 00:35:57,228 --> 00:36:00,188 Speaker 1: And then you're like, oh, James was behind it, And 860 00:36:00,268 --> 00:36:02,828 Speaker 1: then it went like fifty layers up into how fun 861 00:36:02,908 --> 00:36:04,068 Speaker 1: it is and how reacting is. 862 00:36:04,428 --> 00:36:07,548 Speaker 5: I don't know if this is an unpopular take. I 863 00:36:07,668 --> 00:36:09,868 Speaker 5: kind of like the way Arthur Smith handled himself. Yeah, 864 00:36:09,908 --> 00:36:12,668 Speaker 5: he should have been screw you and kissed my bleed 865 00:36:12,748 --> 00:36:15,708 Speaker 5: and like he was pissed off. He felt totally disrespected. 866 00:36:15,948 --> 00:36:16,508 Speaker 5: I love this. 867 00:36:16,668 --> 00:36:18,628 Speaker 6: A lot of these coaches used to play like they 868 00:36:18,748 --> 00:36:21,708 Speaker 6: have that competition, that nature inside of him. They were going, 869 00:36:21,748 --> 00:36:22,708 Speaker 6: they should have just let him fight. 870 00:36:23,268 --> 00:36:26,028 Speaker 1: He's I do wonder if he does that if it's 871 00:36:26,028 --> 00:36:28,708 Speaker 1: someone other than Dennis Allen, Like if let's say that 872 00:36:28,748 --> 00:36:30,828 Speaker 1: happens against the Titans, Like, are you walking up on 873 00:36:30,948 --> 00:36:31,508 Speaker 1: Vrabel like that? 874 00:36:31,668 --> 00:36:35,348 Speaker 5: I bet you're not. I no, no, I don't think so. 875 00:36:35,588 --> 00:36:38,268 Speaker 1: But I do think the crux of why everyone is 876 00:36:38,348 --> 00:36:41,228 Speaker 1: so pissed off is the victory formation thing like that 877 00:36:41,548 --> 00:36:44,108 Speaker 1: was really really low and in fact, that's what Kalaya 878 00:36:44,148 --> 00:36:44,948 Speaker 1: said afterwards. 879 00:36:45,148 --> 00:36:46,068 Speaker 5: He's like, look, I get it. 880 00:36:46,108 --> 00:36:47,708 Speaker 1: You want to get him a touchdown, fine, but like 881 00:36:48,028 --> 00:36:49,548 Speaker 1: you show up here and pretend you're gonna take it 882 00:36:49,988 --> 00:36:53,148 Speaker 1: and then do a trick way. It was crazy disrespectful. 883 00:36:54,028 --> 00:36:56,148 Speaker 1: I don't really care that the Saints did. It's so 884 00:36:56,228 --> 00:36:58,588 Speaker 1: funny that jamis masterminded. This is like one of his 885 00:36:58,668 --> 00:37:01,268 Speaker 1: greatest achievements. But I have no problem with what Arthur 886 00:37:01,348 --> 00:37:03,268 Speaker 1: Smith did. This is this take about if you don't 887 00:37:03,348 --> 00:37:03,508 Speaker 1: like it. 888 00:37:04,148 --> 00:37:04,868 Speaker 5: He pissed off. 889 00:37:04,908 --> 00:37:06,788 Speaker 1: He was wildly disrespected, and he wanted to say it 890 00:37:06,868 --> 00:37:08,388 Speaker 1: right to his face. He didn't walk off and say 891 00:37:08,428 --> 00:37:10,948 Speaker 1: to the press after he immediately walked him and said 892 00:37:10,988 --> 00:37:12,268 Speaker 1: bleep you, like, I don't know if he. 893 00:37:12,268 --> 00:37:14,788 Speaker 4: Doesn't know if Jamis is calling audible, he's an idiot. 894 00:37:14,828 --> 00:37:16,908 Speaker 5: Oh, yes, knows that they should have been right that 895 00:37:16,988 --> 00:37:17,348 Speaker 5: he did that. 896 00:37:17,388 --> 00:37:19,108 Speaker 1: You know, like we used to be a proper country 897 00:37:19,148 --> 00:37:20,988 Speaker 1: and some of disrespects you gratians say bleep you I 898 00:37:21,148 --> 00:37:21,668 Speaker 1: like that he did that. 899 00:37:22,468 --> 00:37:22,828 Speaker 5: I hear you. 900 00:37:22,908 --> 00:37:23,148 Speaker 11: Coach. 901 00:37:24,028 --> 00:37:25,908 Speaker 2: You had the Falcons Bears couple weeks ago, so you've 902 00:37:25,948 --> 00:37:30,148 Speaker 2: been around Arthur Smith recently, like he might come across 903 00:37:30,188 --> 00:37:32,348 Speaker 2: a certain way at times, like he has a fighting 904 00:37:32,428 --> 00:37:32,788 Speaker 2: him like that. 905 00:37:32,908 --> 00:37:35,468 Speaker 3: This was a really challenging last few weeks for the team. 906 00:37:35,548 --> 00:37:38,388 Speaker 6: Yeah, Arthur Smith's a former offensive lineman, Like he definitely 907 00:37:38,468 --> 00:37:40,948 Speaker 6: has fighting him and all of those guys you said, 908 00:37:41,148 --> 00:37:43,348 Speaker 6: coaching is a tough lifestyle. You put in so many 909 00:37:43,428 --> 00:37:46,028 Speaker 6: hours in the day to be successful, and that game 910 00:37:46,188 --> 00:37:48,308 Speaker 6: was a really good game at halftime and then it 911 00:37:48,428 --> 00:37:50,868 Speaker 6: just took a turn. Yeah, quarterback throwing interceptions would have 912 00:37:50,908 --> 00:37:52,228 Speaker 6: been all season long for the Falcons. 913 00:37:52,308 --> 00:37:54,308 Speaker 2: Peter, do you think a decision like that with the 914 00:37:54,388 --> 00:37:56,788 Speaker 2: Falcons specifically, because then Arthur Smith was relieved of his 915 00:37:56,868 --> 00:37:59,668 Speaker 2: duties right around midnight that the tweets was timestamped. 916 00:38:00,668 --> 00:38:02,068 Speaker 3: When do you think that was made and where do 917 00:38:02,068 --> 00:38:02,788 Speaker 3: you think they go from here? 918 00:38:02,868 --> 00:38:04,908 Speaker 4: I think as these last two weeks or what did 919 00:38:05,028 --> 00:38:06,868 Speaker 4: Arthur in and for the whole season. When you don't 920 00:38:06,908 --> 00:38:09,788 Speaker 4: have a quarterback that could win you a game, you're doomed. 921 00:38:09,908 --> 00:38:11,828 Speaker 4: And they rolled the dice and said we're going with 922 00:38:11,948 --> 00:38:13,828 Speaker 4: rit Or a third round pick, and we're gonna sign 923 00:38:13,868 --> 00:38:16,668 Speaker 4: Heinike and that did them in this whole season. And Arthur, 924 00:38:17,028 --> 00:38:19,348 Speaker 4: I've hanged all that offensive talent from the draft, whether 925 00:38:19,388 --> 00:38:22,388 Speaker 4: it be Pitts, London, Bijon, all top ten picks in 926 00:38:22,388 --> 00:38:24,388 Speaker 4: the last three years, all since while he's gotten there, 927 00:38:24,588 --> 00:38:26,588 Speaker 4: to them not have a great offense, that as an 928 00:38:26,588 --> 00:38:28,948 Speaker 4: offensive mind, you can't. You can't stand there and be like, 929 00:38:28,988 --> 00:38:30,868 Speaker 4: I deserve another year. I think even Arthur would say 930 00:38:30,908 --> 00:38:31,908 Speaker 4: they were underwhelming. 931 00:38:31,908 --> 00:38:35,548 Speaker 1: Do you think Arthur Blank, real classy guy, did it 932 00:38:35,588 --> 00:38:37,948 Speaker 1: play any role at the end of the game, He's 933 00:38:37,988 --> 00:38:39,908 Speaker 1: like this if he's on the fence at all, And 934 00:38:40,028 --> 00:38:41,588 Speaker 1: he saw that in the middle of the last game, 935 00:38:41,628 --> 00:38:43,548 Speaker 1: and that's the walkoff, and that's didn't. 936 00:38:43,308 --> 00:38:44,668 Speaker 6: Play any room, it's unbecoming. 937 00:38:45,148 --> 00:38:47,428 Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, for I said, I like that. I'm 938 00:38:47,428 --> 00:38:48,748 Speaker 5: a fan, though I don't know, I know you. 939 00:38:48,908 --> 00:38:50,828 Speaker 4: I'm saying for the owner, It's like, that's not that's 940 00:38:50,868 --> 00:38:52,748 Speaker 4: not the how you know, we get whooped, and this 941 00:38:52,908 --> 00:38:53,828 Speaker 4: is the person on the side. 942 00:38:55,508 --> 00:38:57,268 Speaker 5: If he goes and shakes's hands's good games. He's still 943 00:38:57,308 --> 00:38:58,668 Speaker 5: the coach of the Falcons probably. 944 00:38:58,988 --> 00:39:01,948 Speaker 2: But you know, to Arthur, to Arthur swiss point, you know, 945 00:39:02,108 --> 00:39:04,468 Speaker 2: there's thirty one other owners that might say, hey, I 946 00:39:04,748 --> 00:39:07,228 Speaker 2: like the behavior of a guy that has his back 947 00:39:07,268 --> 00:39:08,948 Speaker 2: up against the wall and he's gonna fight for what 948 00:39:09,028 --> 00:39:11,268 Speaker 2: he believes in or is competitive or something, because maybe 949 00:39:11,308 --> 00:39:13,988 Speaker 2: he knew that his future was on the waning hours. 950 00:39:14,028 --> 00:39:16,028 Speaker 1: You guys are all just still talking about Jamis and 951 00:39:16,308 --> 00:39:20,388 Speaker 1: Jamis and I'm just thinking all these hypotheticals I'm thinking about.
