Yes, I'm Jamie Artof It's 18 00:01:12,948 --> 00:01:17,188 Speaker 1: Peter Schreeger, Jason mccordy, Sean O'Hara in a happy Sean O'Hara, 19 00:01:17,228 --> 00:01:19,468 Speaker 1: I would think filling in for Kyle Brand the sporting here. Yeah, 20 00:01:19,548 --> 00:01:21,748 Speaker 1: let's get your cover. What happened last night, Havaly Black. 21 00:01:23,268 --> 00:01:26,228 Speaker 1: Let's get to some football, Steelers taking on the Ravens, 22 00:01:26,228 --> 00:01:29,068 Speaker 1: a little bit of a division arrival taking place where 23 00:01:29,348 --> 00:01:32,348 Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson missing his fourth straight game with the knee. 24 00:01:32,468 --> 00:01:36,988 Speaker 1: The Steelers keep their playoff holts alive, winning sixteen to 25 00:01:37,188 --> 00:01:40,948 Speaker 1: thirteen against the Ravens. Let's see what Mike Tomlin had 26 00:01:40,988 --> 00:01:44,668 Speaker 1: to say about the Steelers fighting back and staying alive. 27 00:01:45,428 --> 00:01:48,348 Speaker 1: They're gonna be challenges. You're gonna be up against it. 28 00:01:48,348 --> 00:01:49,908 Speaker 1: It's not about what happens to you, is how you 29 00:01:49,908 --> 00:01:52,268 Speaker 1: respond to it. We're a group that stays solid in 30 00:01:52,308 --> 00:01:54,588 Speaker 1: spite of circumstance. As long as we keep bringing that 31 00:01:54,588 --> 00:01:56,828 Speaker 1: stay solid mentality, you know, it's in front of us. 32 00:01:56,908 --> 00:01:59,388 Speaker 1: Can't say enough about our young cube. He smiles in 33 00:01:59,428 --> 00:02:01,148 Speaker 1: the face of it. He's always ready to be that 34 00:02:01,188 --> 00:02:02,828 Speaker 1: guy in the moments that we need him to be 35 00:02:02,948 --> 00:02:04,908 Speaker 1: that guy. And it's just good to see the young guy. 36 00:02:05,028 --> 00:02:11,308 Speaker 1: We marched forward. Steelers marching forward with their Cube's interesting reference. 37 00:02:11,348 --> 00:02:12,828 Speaker 1: Ever heard that one? Poor Let's look a look at 38 00:02:12,868 --> 00:02:16,388 Speaker 1: the AFC playoff picture of the Steelers alive with a 39 00:02:16,508 --> 00:02:19,388 Speaker 1: huge Monday night matchup in tow Baltimore. Falls to the 40 00:02:19,548 --> 00:02:21,868 Speaker 1: sixth seed after that loss, but they still have a 41 00:02:21,908 --> 00:02:25,268 Speaker 1: shot at the AFC North title if the Bengals can't 42 00:02:25,348 --> 00:02:28,628 Speaker 1: clinch that tonight against the Bills in Buffalo. Pittsburgh has 43 00:02:28,628 --> 00:02:30,028 Speaker 1: an eight and eight record now and they are in 44 00:02:30,028 --> 00:02:32,668 Speaker 1: the nine seed, but there is a path to the 45 00:02:32,708 --> 00:02:35,628 Speaker 1: wild card. What needs to happen is the Steelers need 46 00:02:35,668 --> 00:02:39,028 Speaker 1: a win against the Browns in Week eighteen. You also 47 00:02:39,148 --> 00:02:42,708 Speaker 1: need a Patriots ass to the Bills and a Dolphins 48 00:02:42,748 --> 00:02:45,148 Speaker 1: lost to the Jets. It could very well happen, and 49 00:02:45,188 --> 00:02:48,308 Speaker 1: if that happens, the Black and Gold are once again 50 00:02:48,348 --> 00:02:51,428 Speaker 1: in the postseason, a site that are all too familiar 51 00:02:51,468 --> 00:02:54,788 Speaker 1: for the Pittsburgh Steelers. And again that five hundred season 52 00:02:54,868 --> 00:02:57,468 Speaker 1: plus is still attainable for Mike Tomlins. So Jay, would 53 00:02:57,468 --> 00:02:59,868 Speaker 1: you think about that? Steelers stand them half after one 54 00:02:59,908 --> 00:03:02,628 Speaker 1: more week? In the book, Kenny Pickett, the rookie quarterback, 55 00:03:02,668 --> 00:03:05,108 Speaker 1: he gets in. We started with mister Bisky, but we 56 00:03:05,188 --> 00:03:07,308 Speaker 1: kind of all knew at some point it was gonna 57 00:03:07,308 --> 00:03:09,908 Speaker 1: become the Kenny Pickett Show. And he gets in the game, 58 00:03:09,948 --> 00:03:12,228 Speaker 1: and there's something about him in fourth quarter and you 59 00:03:12,308 --> 00:03:15,228 Speaker 1: heard Mike Thomlins say he smiles in the face of adversity. 60 00:03:15,308 --> 00:03:18,108 Speaker 1: This guy has no problem with the moment. And you 61 00:03:18,108 --> 00:03:21,348 Speaker 1: look at that last drive him putting the Steelers ahead. 62 00:03:21,548 --> 00:03:24,508 Speaker 1: It was so impressive in his offensive Lineman Kevin Dotson said, 63 00:03:24,668 --> 00:03:27,188 Speaker 1: I think he's used to the big games. He's kind 64 00:03:27,228 --> 00:03:29,708 Speaker 1: of at home in it. And that's what you want 65 00:03:29,748 --> 00:03:31,988 Speaker 1: from your young quarterback because there's something I like to 66 00:03:32,028 --> 00:03:34,788 Speaker 1: call the it factor. Some guys have it, some guys don't. 67 00:03:34,988 --> 00:03:38,948 Speaker 1: Doesn't matter experience, you've done it before. Whatever year you're in, 68 00:03:39,228 --> 00:03:41,268 Speaker 1: you get in the fourth quarter and you have to 69 00:03:41,308 --> 00:03:44,108 Speaker 1: make a play. It's the witching hour at Scott Hanson 70 00:03:44,228 --> 00:03:46,628 Speaker 1: likes to say, when the fourth quarter rolls around, can 71 00:03:46,708 --> 00:03:49,348 Speaker 1: you step up to the play? Can you make the plays? 72 00:03:49,508 --> 00:03:52,348 Speaker 1: And Kenny Pickett has shown that the game verus the Raiders. 73 00:03:52,348 --> 00:03:54,908 Speaker 1: He comes in makes a last second drive to go 74 00:03:54,988 --> 00:03:57,708 Speaker 1: put the Steelers ahead, they win the game. Last night 75 00:03:57,748 --> 00:03:59,388 Speaker 1: it was more of the same. He was ten of 76 00:03:59,428 --> 00:04:02,108 Speaker 1: twenty one for one hundred and eight yards throughout the game, 77 00:04:02,388 --> 00:04:05,428 Speaker 1: last drive five of six sixty yards in a ten 78 00:04:05,508 --> 00:04:08,348 Speaker 1: yard touchdown the Naji Harris, Can you step up in 79 00:04:08,388 --> 00:04:11,148 Speaker 1: those moments, make the plays to win? That gives so 80 00:04:11,228 --> 00:04:14,388 Speaker 1: much faith throughout the team. I remember being on teams defensively, 81 00:04:14,628 --> 00:04:16,588 Speaker 1: teams out there for the two menute, you're like, peck 82 00:04:16,628 --> 00:04:18,468 Speaker 1: if we let them score the games over and for 83 00:04:18,508 --> 00:04:21,348 Speaker 1: those Pittsburgh Steelers Cam, Hey, we're t J Watt. When 84 00:04:21,348 --> 00:04:23,228 Speaker 1: you're watching this young guy on the field and you're 85 00:04:23,268 --> 00:04:26,148 Speaker 1: seeing him generate offense and drive the team down the 86 00:04:26,188 --> 00:04:28,348 Speaker 1: field and be able to score, it's huge and it 87 00:04:28,388 --> 00:04:31,188 Speaker 1: just builds momentum. How many franchises have just been, you know, 88 00:04:31,388 --> 00:04:34,948 Speaker 1: completely rutderless at the quarterback positions for a decade. I 89 00:04:34,988 --> 00:04:37,628 Speaker 1: look at Washington, let's just trying the Colts ever since 90 00:04:37,708 --> 00:04:40,708 Speaker 1: Luck left, Like the Jets, Like, we got a guy 91 00:04:40,828 --> 00:04:43,708 Speaker 1: second overall the league. Let the Steelers sit the twentieth 92 00:04:43,708 --> 00:04:46,708 Speaker 1: pick overall and get their franchise guy after Vin Rufflesburg 93 00:04:46,748 --> 00:04:49,028 Speaker 1: in twenty years. Like it's maddening if you're the rest 94 00:04:49,028 --> 00:04:51,188 Speaker 1: of the AFC, or if you're everyone's saying, wait a second, 95 00:04:51,228 --> 00:04:52,828 Speaker 1: they got a guy, Like there's supposed to be a 96 00:04:52,868 --> 00:04:55,188 Speaker 1: rebuilding year. This is supposed to be a decade of 97 00:04:55,268 --> 00:04:57,188 Speaker 1: them being at the bottom of the standings and yet 98 00:04:57,548 --> 00:04:59,948 Speaker 1: the AFC let the Steelers hang around. I can't say 99 00:05:00,028 --> 00:05:03,028 Speaker 1: enough about the Steelers team, how impressed I am how 100 00:05:03,148 --> 00:05:06,988 Speaker 1: young they are on offense. You're talking about George Pickens, 101 00:05:07,108 --> 00:05:10,788 Speaker 1: Kenny Pickett, Najie Harris, Jalen Warren, Sins, these were all 102 00:05:10,828 --> 00:05:13,948 Speaker 1: young guys, and it's like, we're going into Baltimore against 103 00:05:13,948 --> 00:05:16,188 Speaker 1: that Baltimore defense and we need it most. Pickett is 104 00:05:16,188 --> 00:05:17,748 Speaker 1: able to sit in the pocket and just be able 105 00:05:17,788 --> 00:05:19,708 Speaker 1: to dissect it and get the touchdown they need. But 106 00:05:19,748 --> 00:05:21,508 Speaker 1: it's not just this week you mentioned the Raiders game. 107 00:05:21,588 --> 00:05:23,748 Speaker 1: This is a young Steelers team. They go on the 108 00:05:23,828 --> 00:05:28,508 Speaker 1: road the last four games, talking win at Indianapolis when 109 00:05:28,548 --> 00:05:31,348 Speaker 1: Indianapolis was still very relevant and in the thicket things, 110 00:05:31,908 --> 00:05:34,948 Speaker 1: into the Atlanta Falcons building when they were still very 111 00:05:35,028 --> 00:05:37,708 Speaker 1: much in it, and in the thicket things, into Carolina 112 00:05:37,828 --> 00:05:39,908 Speaker 1: when they were still in the mix of it. They 113 00:05:39,948 --> 00:05:44,068 Speaker 1: held Carolina on defense when everyone's Carolina's running all over everybody, 114 00:05:44,108 --> 00:05:46,348 Speaker 1: they couldn't run on them. And then yesterday, if those 115 00:05:46,348 --> 00:05:48,308 Speaker 1: are four teams that we're fighting for playoff spots and 116 00:05:48,428 --> 00:05:51,308 Speaker 1: this young Steelers team, I can't say enough about the 117 00:05:51,348 --> 00:05:54,068 Speaker 1: job Tomlin's doing about the veterans on DA of course, 118 00:05:54,308 --> 00:05:55,468 Speaker 1: but I want to give it up to the young 119 00:05:55,508 --> 00:05:57,668 Speaker 1: guys because that's not easy to go on the road 120 00:05:57,708 --> 00:06:00,108 Speaker 1: and be that team and to impose your will. I 121 00:06:00,308 --> 00:06:02,268 Speaker 1: love this Steelers team, and you know what, if they 122 00:06:02,308 --> 00:06:04,548 Speaker 1: make the playoffs and you laid out their scenario. This 123 00:06:04,588 --> 00:06:05,988 Speaker 1: is different than last year where it was like they 124 00:06:06,028 --> 00:06:08,188 Speaker 1: came limping in and it was Ben going into Kansas 125 00:06:08,228 --> 00:06:11,028 Speaker 1: City and you're like, I don't know, maybe there's a 126 00:06:11,068 --> 00:06:13,428 Speaker 1: shot that they get some fun things. I don't want 127 00:06:13,428 --> 00:06:15,948 Speaker 1: to face the Steelers team and they're red hot and 128 00:06:15,948 --> 00:06:20,148 Speaker 1: they're getting confidence and they don't lose games when they're close. 129 00:06:20,388 --> 00:06:21,908 Speaker 1: I kind of like the Steelers team, and of all 130 00:06:21,908 --> 00:06:25,428 Speaker 1: these AFC wildcard hopefuls, Patriots, Dolphins, unam it, this is 131 00:06:25,468 --> 00:06:27,308 Speaker 1: a team I would at least want to face because 132 00:06:27,468 --> 00:06:29,548 Speaker 1: they're only getting better and better every week. Yeah, no 133 00:06:29,548 --> 00:06:30,708 Speaker 1: doubt about it. And on the other side, you got 134 00:06:30,748 --> 00:06:32,548 Speaker 1: TG Watts, so nobody wants to face him in a 135 00:06:32,588 --> 00:06:34,588 Speaker 1: playoffs here. So they're getting healthy at the right time, 136 00:06:34,588 --> 00:06:36,228 Speaker 1: and that momentum is a huge thing, you know, for 137 00:06:36,268 --> 00:06:37,908 Speaker 1: the second week in a row. Katie Pickett put this 138 00:06:37,948 --> 00:06:40,028 Speaker 1: team on his right shoulder and his legs and said, look, 139 00:06:40,228 --> 00:06:42,028 Speaker 1: I'm gonna leave his back to victory. And I think 140 00:06:42,068 --> 00:06:45,428 Speaker 1: that Moxie is a direct reflection of Mike Tomlin. And 141 00:06:45,508 --> 00:06:47,788 Speaker 1: when you look at these young guys as you're calling 142 00:06:47,828 --> 00:06:50,308 Speaker 1: them shregs, catch was like, yeah, that was sick. I 143 00:06:50,348 --> 00:06:54,268 Speaker 1: mean he's levitating. He was horizontal. Even the touchdown throat 144 00:06:54,268 --> 00:06:57,228 Speaker 1: to Nagi Harris. He had to kind of add lib 145 00:06:57,228 --> 00:06:59,668 Speaker 1: a little bit. So I think when you look at 146 00:06:59,748 --> 00:07:02,748 Speaker 1: not just Kenny Pickett, Naji Harris as well, another young 147 00:07:02,788 --> 00:07:05,748 Speaker 1: player you're seeing the Steelers, this is their new dynasty, 148 00:07:05,828 --> 00:07:08,708 Speaker 1: like this is their new franchise. It's the young picket, 149 00:07:08,828 --> 00:07:11,628 Speaker 1: it's Nagi Harris. He didn't have a hunteyard rushing all season. 150 00:07:12,028 --> 00:07:14,788 Speaker 1: That was his first honey guard rushing game and also 151 00:07:14,828 --> 00:07:17,428 Speaker 1: the big catch for the touchdown. They're coming of agent 152 00:07:17,468 --> 00:07:18,948 Speaker 1: all the right time, just like Mike's how you said 153 00:07:18,988 --> 00:07:20,828 Speaker 1: last week, you're all growing up. The Steeler team is 154 00:07:20,828 --> 00:07:22,748 Speaker 1: growing up before everybody's eyes. And to your point, yeah, 155 00:07:22,788 --> 00:07:24,828 Speaker 1: nobody wants to face them right now. Listen. Let's also 156 00:07:24,988 --> 00:07:27,388 Speaker 1: just say something funky's going on with the Ravens right now, 157 00:07:27,428 --> 00:07:30,108 Speaker 1: They've had a weird couple of weeks, a ton of injuries, 158 00:07:30,108 --> 00:07:31,828 Speaker 1: but they're in. They're in the playoffs. What I was 159 00:07:31,828 --> 00:07:33,828 Speaker 1: most disappointed by when I woke up this morning was 160 00:07:33,868 --> 00:07:35,628 Speaker 1: this line that we had in our packet about the 161 00:07:35,668 --> 00:07:38,428 Speaker 1: playoff clinching scenarios, which is the Steelers do not control 162 00:07:38,428 --> 00:07:40,628 Speaker 1: their own playoff destiny, because I wish they did. I 163 00:07:40,668 --> 00:07:42,748 Speaker 1: wish they were able to just win out and take 164 00:07:42,788 --> 00:07:44,508 Speaker 1: care of their own business. I hate the fact that 165 00:07:44,548 --> 00:07:46,268 Speaker 1: they have to rely on other teams they get in. 166 00:07:46,348 --> 00:07:48,948 Speaker 1: Because everyone's point at the table this morning, that's a 167 00:07:48,988 --> 00:07:50,668 Speaker 1: team that you want to see in the playoff. If 168 00:07:50,668 --> 00:07:52,988 Speaker 1: you are a lover of great football, if you want 169 00:07:52,988 --> 00:07:55,068 Speaker 1: to see a guy like Kenny Pickett shine in the 170 00:07:55,148 --> 00:07:57,708 Speaker 1: right moments, you wish the Steelers had their own destiny. 171 00:07:57,748 --> 00:07:59,108 Speaker 1: They had to take care of a lot of business 172 00:07:59,108 --> 00:08:01,188 Speaker 1: earlier this season that they just couldn't get done. But 173 00:08:01,268 --> 00:08:03,028 Speaker 1: a couple of those drives last night, we just saw it. 174 00:08:03,068 --> 00:08:04,348 Speaker 1: I frankly, I don't think you can see it in 175 00:08:04,428 --> 00:08:06,508 Speaker 1: off in terms of Kenny Pickett's play today and Chris 176 00:08:06,508 --> 00:08:09,428 Speaker 1: Collinsworth finally nailed it on that final touchdown pass to 177 00:08:09,788 --> 00:08:12,228 Speaker 1: Najie Harris. I'm watching that drive and I'm like, god, 178 00:08:12,628 --> 00:08:15,148 Speaker 1: this is reminding me, and he goes. Chris Collinsworth said, 179 00:08:15,788 --> 00:08:18,268 Speaker 1: you know, if Patrick Mahomes made this play, we'd put 180 00:08:18,308 --> 00:08:20,068 Speaker 1: him in the Hall of Fame right now, and like, 181 00:08:20,308 --> 00:08:23,508 Speaker 1: thank you. I was trying to find what he looked like. 182 00:08:23,588 --> 00:08:26,068 Speaker 1: The body language, the rolling out, the finding guys in 183 00:08:26,108 --> 00:08:28,108 Speaker 1: the middle of the field. It was like, Mahomes to Kelsey. 184 00:08:28,188 --> 00:08:31,148 Speaker 1: He's making I think players in moments look better than 185 00:08:31,188 --> 00:08:33,468 Speaker 1: they actually are. I'm not saying his receivers aren't talented. 186 00:08:33,628 --> 00:08:36,188 Speaker 1: I'm just saying he's making them shine. He's putting balls 187 00:08:36,188 --> 00:08:38,428 Speaker 1: in the right place. He's running the offense in a way. 188 00:08:38,508 --> 00:08:40,308 Speaker 1: Plus you're putting balls in the middle of the field 189 00:08:40,348 --> 00:08:42,988 Speaker 1: and he's getting the lineup. He's getting everybody calm but 190 00:08:43,108 --> 00:08:46,028 Speaker 1: moving efficiently. He looked like a veteran quarterback. It's like 191 00:08:46,028 --> 00:08:48,668 Speaker 1: in college basketball, like they've become freshmen, become sophomores in 192 00:08:48,748 --> 00:08:51,028 Speaker 1: January when they start conference play. That's what I'm seeing 193 00:08:51,028 --> 00:08:54,668 Speaker 1: out of Kenny Pickett. The cube. The cube made it. 194 00:08:54,708 --> 00:08:56,748 Speaker 1: I know, right, Hey, let's welcome in our NFL Network. 195 00:08:56,788 --> 00:08:58,988 Speaker 1: Insider Ian rep Burt now that We've shined a light 196 00:08:59,028 --> 00:09:01,228 Speaker 1: on Kenny Pickett from Sunday and Night of Football, and 197 00:09:01,348 --> 00:09:04,148 Speaker 1: we've got our eyes in a couple of quarterback situation 198 00:09:04,588 --> 00:09:06,988 Speaker 1: heading into week eighteen. What can you tell us? Let's 199 00:09:06,988 --> 00:09:09,108 Speaker 1: start with a guy that we're still waiting to see 200 00:09:09,148 --> 00:09:12,148 Speaker 1: down the stretch return in Jalen Hurts. Well. Jalen Hurts 201 00:09:12,148 --> 00:09:14,388 Speaker 1: obviously did not play the last two games for the 202 00:09:14,388 --> 00:09:17,908 Speaker 1: Phoadelphia Eagles, Gardner Minshew playing two losses and now the 203 00:09:17,908 --> 00:09:20,468 Speaker 1: Eagles still really have something to play for this coming 204 00:09:20,468 --> 00:09:22,988 Speaker 1: week a buy a number one seed. All that, and 205 00:09:23,028 --> 00:09:26,148 Speaker 1: they do believe that Jalen Hurts, are starting quarterback, will 206 00:09:26,228 --> 00:09:29,148 Speaker 1: be healthy enough to play in that game, which is 207 00:09:29,188 --> 00:09:31,788 Speaker 1: a very good side. He was back in practice this week, 208 00:09:31,908 --> 00:09:34,188 Speaker 1: was there, Thursday, was there, Friday, was throwing it around, 209 00:09:34,428 --> 00:09:36,908 Speaker 1: didn't quite get there, just for health and safety reasons 210 00:09:36,908 --> 00:09:38,908 Speaker 1: to be able to play this past week and didn't 211 00:09:38,908 --> 00:09:41,108 Speaker 1: want him to land on his shoulder, which has an 212 00:09:41,228 --> 00:09:45,348 Speaker 1: sc joint sprain but is expected to be available week eighteen. 213 00:09:45,708 --> 00:09:48,108 Speaker 1: That is a very good sign for the Eagles. Meanwhile, 214 00:09:48,308 --> 00:09:50,468 Speaker 1: for the Mammi Dolphins, there's a lot of funks here 215 00:09:50,508 --> 00:09:53,988 Speaker 1: at the quarterback position and obviously, they ended yesterday's game 216 00:09:53,988 --> 00:09:57,868 Speaker 1: with Skylard Thompson in a quarterback. Here's where they stand. 217 00:09:58,028 --> 00:10:02,508 Speaker 1: Tity Bridgewater, it is believed has a dislocated pinky on 218 00:10:02,628 --> 00:10:05,228 Speaker 1: his throwing hand. He's getting imaging today. They hope it 219 00:10:05,388 --> 00:10:08,668 Speaker 1: is not broken, but obviously the scans will show more. 220 00:10:08,668 --> 00:10:10,788 Speaker 1: Gonna get more detail there and just see whether or 221 00:10:10,788 --> 00:10:12,508 Speaker 1: not he will be able to play. Tried to go 222 00:10:12,548 --> 00:10:15,268 Speaker 1: back in the game, he actually wasn't able to do it, 223 00:10:15,468 --> 00:10:18,428 Speaker 1: so we will see today. Meanwhile, starter to a Tuckavaloa 224 00:10:18,828 --> 00:10:22,388 Speaker 1: still in the NFL's concussion protocol. They're taking it day 225 00:10:22,388 --> 00:10:25,108 Speaker 1: by day. No word yet on his availability or how 226 00:10:25,108 --> 00:10:27,708 Speaker 1: he is progressing. We just know that he is currently 227 00:10:27,988 --> 00:10:31,428 Speaker 1: in the protocol. Well, if that is tough news with 228 00:10:31,588 --> 00:10:35,228 Speaker 1: Dalton colfins Ian, we thank you so much. We got 229 00:10:35,228 --> 00:10:37,628 Speaker 1: the Birds taking on the Saints. All you gotta do 230 00:10:37,748 --> 00:10:39,068 Speaker 1: is win and you get the T shirt in the hatch, 231 00:10:39,068 --> 00:10:41,548 Speaker 1: you get the division clinched number one seed. But no, 232 00:10:41,868 --> 00:10:44,388 Speaker 1: the Birds can't get it done. Eagles fans can't believe 233 00:10:44,428 --> 00:10:47,588 Speaker 1: it all right. NFC South Panthers walked into the day 234 00:10:47,628 --> 00:10:49,788 Speaker 1: with a chance, but then they went up against Tom 235 00:10:49,788 --> 00:10:52,508 Speaker 1: Brady and Brady finished this a day with three touchdowns 236 00:10:52,548 --> 00:10:55,628 Speaker 1: a rushing touchdown. Okay, Brady fucking HER's win this one, 237 00:10:55,668 --> 00:10:58,868 Speaker 1: thirty to twenty four. They win the NFC. South Panthers 238 00:10:58,868 --> 00:11:01,908 Speaker 1: are eliminated. Giants win and their end for the first 239 00:11:01,908 --> 00:11:04,628 Speaker 1: time in twenty sixteen. Can they do it? Giants went 240 00:11:04,908 --> 00:11:09,668 Speaker 1: thirty eight to ten. Packers roll forty one to seventeen. 241 00:11:10,268 --> 00:11:13,908 Speaker 1: The talk all week was at Jayar Alexander shouldn't be 242 00:11:13,948 --> 00:11:17,148 Speaker 1: talking about Justin Jefferson the way he did. Jayar Alexander 243 00:11:17,188 --> 00:11:19,348 Speaker 1: in the locker room after the game was asked about it, 244 00:11:19,588 --> 00:11:22,548 Speaker 1: and he had some thoughts. Take a listen, Like I said, 245 00:11:22,588 --> 00:11:24,508 Speaker 1: I've been ready all week with this matchup. I've been 246 00:11:24,548 --> 00:11:27,228 Speaker 1: ready since the first week. When you prepare, it's like 247 00:11:27,268 --> 00:11:29,188 Speaker 1: you over prepare. It's like, all right, man, I'm just 248 00:11:29,228 --> 00:11:31,388 Speaker 1: ready to play. A lot of times you see him 249 00:11:31,388 --> 00:11:36,308 Speaker 1: doing a gredients of my time. So yeah, talk to talk, 250 00:11:36,388 --> 00:11:40,188 Speaker 1: Jayar Alexander. You took care of business after talking about 251 00:11:40,188 --> 00:11:42,588 Speaker 1: it all week long. All right, the vikings, All right, 252 00:11:42,668 --> 00:11:45,268 Speaker 1: here's what we're looking at. The seventh seed in the 253 00:11:45,348 --> 00:11:49,428 Speaker 1: NFC is still up in the year. The Packers control 254 00:11:49,548 --> 00:11:53,148 Speaker 1: their own destiny. Yes, the team that we a lot 255 00:11:53,188 --> 00:11:57,388 Speaker 1: of people rode off, not we by Thanksgiving. If they 256 00:11:57,548 --> 00:11:59,908 Speaker 1: beat the Lions at home this weekend, they're in. The 257 00:12:00,028 --> 00:12:02,268 Speaker 1: Vikings haven't twelve and four record, but each of those 258 00:12:02,308 --> 00:12:05,548 Speaker 1: four losses have been brutal. They have suffered them and 259 00:12:05,748 --> 00:12:08,748 Speaker 1: suffered capitalists. What do we learn about the Vikings or 260 00:12:08,788 --> 00:12:10,708 Speaker 1: the Packers on Sunday, Peter, what do you want to 261 00:12:10,708 --> 00:12:12,948 Speaker 1: go with? Let's talk about the Packers? Please do okay? 262 00:12:12,948 --> 00:12:15,068 Speaker 1: Because it was four and eight, they were dead, and 263 00:12:15,508 --> 00:12:19,228 Speaker 1: everybody could have just put them to sleep with a 264 00:12:19,308 --> 00:12:21,508 Speaker 1: win at some point, and yet they win one game, 265 00:12:21,548 --> 00:12:23,708 Speaker 1: they go in there by and they just rattle off 266 00:12:23,788 --> 00:12:26,868 Speaker 1: victory after victory after victory, and every team that they've 267 00:12:26,908 --> 00:12:30,228 Speaker 1: needed to lose has suddenly gone ice cold and has lost. 268 00:12:30,828 --> 00:12:33,628 Speaker 1: Looking at you, Washington, I'm looking at you Detroit, who 269 00:12:33,668 --> 00:12:35,588 Speaker 1: had a chance to beat Carolina last week. I'm looking 270 00:12:35,628 --> 00:12:37,828 Speaker 1: at you Seattle, who lost all the month of December 271 00:12:37,908 --> 00:12:41,308 Speaker 1: until yesterday's win. And as everyone else ruled them dead, 272 00:12:41,468 --> 00:12:44,268 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers was saying out loud, we need a few 273 00:12:44,308 --> 00:12:46,508 Speaker 1: things to happen, and we need to take care of 274 00:12:46,508 --> 00:12:49,468 Speaker 1: our business. And yesterday I thought Rogers with that Cheshire 275 00:12:49,508 --> 00:12:52,668 Speaker 1: Greenny always has addressed the haters pretty well in the postgame. 276 00:12:52,748 --> 00:12:55,108 Speaker 1: Take a listen more becoming a more dangerous team. And 277 00:12:55,508 --> 00:12:58,668 Speaker 1: you know, we've all seen some of the commentary outside 278 00:12:58,708 --> 00:13:00,188 Speaker 1: as we went from four and eight to five and 279 00:13:00,228 --> 00:13:01,988 Speaker 1: eight to sixth and eight, and nobody's worried about the 280 00:13:01,988 --> 00:13:04,148 Speaker 1: Packers and blah blah blah blah blah. Now what are 281 00:13:04,108 --> 00:13:09,828 Speaker 1: you gonna so oh so salty man? Like? You could 282 00:13:09,828 --> 00:13:12,148 Speaker 1: have your Seahawks are Lions storyline and they would both 283 00:13:12,188 --> 00:13:14,908 Speaker 1: be great. Give me the freakin Packers and the playoffs 284 00:13:14,948 --> 00:13:19,188 Speaker 1: at this point, let's go, let's shake this thing up. Packers, 285 00:13:19,308 --> 00:13:21,388 Speaker 1: this is the story. You guys could have put them 286 00:13:21,388 --> 00:13:22,868 Speaker 1: to sleep, you could have put them down. There was 287 00:13:22,868 --> 00:13:25,068 Speaker 1: a lot of chances for them to be eliminated. And yeah, 288 00:13:25,068 --> 00:13:27,828 Speaker 1: here we are, four straight wins and they find a way. 289 00:13:27,868 --> 00:13:30,628 Speaker 1: And it's not just Rogers dancing all over finding Lazard. 290 00:13:30,708 --> 00:13:34,428 Speaker 1: It's special teams. Rich Pisacha's unit's been incredible the last 291 00:13:34,468 --> 00:13:37,428 Speaker 1: few weeks, Nixon with an amazing kickoff return to kickstart 292 00:13:37,468 --> 00:13:39,588 Speaker 1: these things. And then it's the defense. I thought Joe 293 00:13:39,628 --> 00:13:44,348 Speaker 1: Barry's defense was incredible yesterday, opportunistic and yeah, JayR Alexander 294 00:13:44,388 --> 00:13:47,068 Speaker 1: talk that talk, call out, our show, call out, Skipp 295 00:13:47,068 --> 00:13:49,748 Speaker 1: and Shannon do it all because I'm here for something 296 00:13:49,748 --> 00:13:52,708 Speaker 1: in the NFC. As the Eagles fall apart at the 297 00:13:52,828 --> 00:13:55,988 Speaker 1: end of the season, as the Niners defense can't stop Stidham, 298 00:13:56,068 --> 00:14:00,348 Speaker 1: as the Vikings are the Vikings, and as all these 299 00:14:00,348 --> 00:14:02,868 Speaker 1: other teams, it's like the Giants and the Packers, like 300 00:14:02,988 --> 00:14:04,748 Speaker 1: those are the two teams that are playing good football 301 00:14:04,828 --> 00:14:06,908 Speaker 1: right now. If that's the NFC championship game, I'll take 302 00:14:06,908 --> 00:14:09,708 Speaker 1: it because that Packers team that's playing right now, they're 303 00:14:09,708 --> 00:14:11,708 Speaker 1: playing with confidence and they've got that nobody believes in 304 00:14:11,748 --> 00:14:14,628 Speaker 1: a factor that I kind of like Giants Packers NFC 305 00:14:14,708 --> 00:14:17,148 Speaker 1: Championship game. But you're right. We sat around this table 306 00:14:17,228 --> 00:14:19,148 Speaker 1: the Packers are getting ready to play the Bears, and 307 00:14:19,188 --> 00:14:21,868 Speaker 1: we swung around of should they put Jordan Love in 308 00:14:21,908 --> 00:14:24,188 Speaker 1: the game, and now where they are now just goes 309 00:14:24,228 --> 00:14:26,308 Speaker 1: to show how they stuck together as a team. And 310 00:14:26,348 --> 00:14:29,148 Speaker 1: when you have a Hall of Fame quarterback, anything can happen. 311 00:14:29,388 --> 00:14:31,628 Speaker 1: But the way the defense play yesterday is what we 312 00:14:31,668 --> 00:14:34,788 Speaker 1: expected kind of all season long. And they got started 313 00:14:34,828 --> 00:14:37,628 Speaker 1: early on because the Vikings block a pump early in 314 00:14:37,628 --> 00:14:40,868 Speaker 1: this game and their first in goal and the Packers 315 00:14:40,908 --> 00:14:42,788 Speaker 1: stopped him. They forced them to kick a field goal. 316 00:14:42,988 --> 00:14:46,228 Speaker 1: And when you see sequences like that, that gets it started, 317 00:14:46,228 --> 00:14:48,228 Speaker 1: and that you game momentum like that, even off a 318 00:14:48,268 --> 00:14:50,628 Speaker 1: block pump when you don't let them in the end zone. 319 00:14:50,748 --> 00:14:54,148 Speaker 1: And they created four takeaways in that game, three interceptions 320 00:14:54,308 --> 00:14:57,428 Speaker 1: off Kirk Cousins and a sack fumble. They were rolling. 321 00:14:57,548 --> 00:15:00,748 Speaker 1: And I love Jaire Alexander not only because of his play, 322 00:15:00,988 --> 00:15:03,468 Speaker 1: but because of the energy and an attitude in which 323 00:15:03,468 --> 00:15:06,188 Speaker 1: he plays with. He was going at it head to 324 00:15:06,268 --> 00:15:09,508 Speaker 1: head with Justin Jefferson. Yeah, it was safety help at times, 325 00:15:09,628 --> 00:15:11,828 Speaker 1: but it was more about his attitude, the way he 326 00:15:11,908 --> 00:15:14,788 Speaker 1: played them, pushing them during an interception in his back. 327 00:15:14,988 --> 00:15:17,588 Speaker 1: You saw that on the rooty Ford interception when they 328 00:15:17,628 --> 00:15:19,708 Speaker 1: got to the sideline, getting right up in his face. 329 00:15:20,028 --> 00:15:22,428 Speaker 1: The team builds off of that and they feed off 330 00:15:22,428 --> 00:15:24,708 Speaker 1: of that, and they know, hey, he says these things 331 00:15:24,708 --> 00:15:26,908 Speaker 1: before the game. We have to match that energy and 332 00:15:26,948 --> 00:15:29,308 Speaker 1: back our guy up. The way he plays in, the 333 00:15:29,428 --> 00:15:32,268 Speaker 1: attitude in which he plays with carries that defense a 334 00:15:32,268 --> 00:15:34,748 Speaker 1: lot and it just energizes the entire team. So I 335 00:15:34,828 --> 00:15:37,548 Speaker 1: love watching him play and the way he competes is 336 00:15:37,588 --> 00:15:39,828 Speaker 1: more important than just a skill level. Yeah, that defense 337 00:15:39,908 --> 00:15:43,148 Speaker 1: was unbelievable and the Minnesota Vikings looked dysfunctional at times. 338 00:15:43,148 --> 00:15:45,028 Speaker 1: They couldn't even get some snaps off. Schlottman in the 339 00:15:45,068 --> 00:15:47,428 Speaker 1: center for the Vikings had a rough day. That being said, 340 00:15:47,468 --> 00:15:49,828 Speaker 1: the story, this is what the Packers have done four 341 00:15:49,908 --> 00:15:52,308 Speaker 1: straight in a row. And it's not just Aaron Rodgers 342 00:15:52,268 --> 00:15:55,308 Speaker 1: thrown for four hundre yards and just shredding defenses. This defense, 343 00:15:55,548 --> 00:15:57,908 Speaker 1: this is exactly what they were hoping they were going 344 00:15:57,988 --> 00:15:59,868 Speaker 1: to get when they drafted all these other players, when 345 00:15:59,908 --> 00:16:02,948 Speaker 1: they when they resigned Jaire Alexander, where they got everybody healthy, 346 00:16:03,148 --> 00:16:06,788 Speaker 1: signed Douglas Douglas rozul. I mean it's huge, but most importantly, 347 00:16:07,068 --> 00:16:09,668 Speaker 1: I feel like they've got that swagger bag right the 348 00:16:09,828 --> 00:16:12,748 Speaker 1: discount double check. That swagger is back right now and 349 00:16:12,788 --> 00:16:15,348 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers is feeling it. This team is really dangerous 350 00:16:15,388 --> 00:16:17,908 Speaker 1: right now, and it's because of that confidence, not momentum. Yeah, 351 00:16:17,988 --> 00:16:20,148 Speaker 1: Rodgers has a swag back because Kirk Cousin has borrowed 352 00:16:20,188 --> 00:16:22,948 Speaker 1: it unintentionally for the first seventy five percent of the 353 00:16:22,948 --> 00:16:25,748 Speaker 1: season and now Rogers like it's actually mine, it's originally mine. 354 00:16:25,988 --> 00:16:27,988 Speaker 1: Four losses this year. Twelve wins is cute. You know, 355 00:16:28,028 --> 00:16:30,588 Speaker 1: it's not cute being blown out in four losses. One 356 00:16:30,668 --> 00:16:34,588 Speaker 1: hundred and thirty nine to fifty. That's the collective score 357 00:16:34,948 --> 00:16:37,628 Speaker 1: for the vikings and losses that they have suffered so 358 00:16:37,668 --> 00:16:40,268 Speaker 1: far this season. Jessin Jefferson, you want to step up 359 00:16:40,308 --> 00:16:42,148 Speaker 1: to the plate and make a difference and make a 360 00:16:42,148 --> 00:16:44,628 Speaker 1: case for yourself. You like all those chants at home, 361 00:16:44,748 --> 00:16:47,868 Speaker 1: call it Justin and Jefferson MVP. Well they'll do something 362 00:16:47,868 --> 00:16:50,308 Speaker 1: with it. On the road, I mean you got shut down. 363 00:16:50,628 --> 00:16:54,388 Speaker 1: You were on press coverage, hands on him right, totally 364 00:16:54,468 --> 00:16:58,588 Speaker 1: disrupted Justin Jefferson. He looked uncomfortable. Yeah, I mean, was 365 00:16:58,628 --> 00:17:02,428 Speaker 1: that just a scheme? Double teams hitting him early on? 366 00:17:03,348 --> 00:17:05,948 Speaker 1: Not all Justin j So, but give give Green Bay 367 00:17:05,988 --> 00:17:09,068 Speaker 1: a ton of credit. And Jaire Alexander actually followed him 368 00:17:09,108 --> 00:17:12,268 Speaker 1: this game, which was different with all this stuff. And Sean, 369 00:17:12,308 --> 00:17:14,388 Speaker 1: I love that you're there and you're great. Kyle Brand 370 00:17:14,468 --> 00:17:17,348 Speaker 1: sat in that chair with the serious face and you 371 00:17:17,348 --> 00:17:20,468 Speaker 1: you must respect cousins. You must respect cousins. Cousins. Just 372 00:17:20,668 --> 00:17:23,348 Speaker 1: look at the numbers cousins and Kyle is you know, 373 00:17:23,388 --> 00:17:25,468 Speaker 1: and it goes viral and there's a million retweets, and 374 00:17:25,508 --> 00:17:28,948 Speaker 1: I love you Kyle. Kyle's out today. I want him 375 00:17:28,988 --> 00:17:31,788 Speaker 1: to sit and do that same spiel on Cousins today 376 00:17:31,828 --> 00:17:35,788 Speaker 1: after that prom because that's why people doubt Cousins. That's why, 377 00:17:35,908 --> 00:17:38,668 Speaker 1: that's why, And just when you want to go all in, 378 00:17:39,508 --> 00:17:41,188 Speaker 1: that's why. I know the third center was in and 379 00:17:41,188 --> 00:17:43,548 Speaker 1: there's all this stuff in the past, but like, there's 380 00:17:43,548 --> 00:17:46,468 Speaker 1: a reason people doubt Kirk Cousins because he don't lose 381 00:17:46,508 --> 00:17:48,628 Speaker 1: forty one to seventeen when everyone's saying it's a very 382 00:17:48,828 --> 00:17:50,668 Speaker 1: Rogers was down and out with a lot of guys 383 00:17:50,748 --> 00:17:52,868 Speaker 1: injuries all season long, and look where Look where he 384 00:17:52,908 --> 00:17:55,068 Speaker 1: gets his team. Some guys have it all right coming up. 385 00:17:55,108 --> 00:17:56,348 Speaker 1: I was a sleep on the couch, like the guy 386 00:17:56,348 --> 00:17:58,908 Speaker 1: who brought over Baks giving exactly, Kyle, you just got 387 00:17:58,908 --> 00:18:03,948 Speaker 1: called out. Get back your Kyle Brant he comes and 388 00:18:04,028 --> 00:18:20,548 Speaker 1: hate all right. Denver, Kansas City, twenty seven, twenty four 389 00:18:20,908 --> 00:18:27,788 Speaker 1: Chiefs with Niners Versus Raiders. The Niners escape Vegas, but 390 00:18:27,868 --> 00:18:32,188 Speaker 1: not before Jared Stidham paid that Derek Carr situation very 391 00:18:32,268 --> 00:18:36,148 Speaker 1: intrinstic Carvers in the garage how about the Seahawks and 392 00:18:36,188 --> 00:18:39,028 Speaker 1: the Jet Robert Sala has just been eliminated and Jets 393 00:18:39,028 --> 00:18:41,988 Speaker 1: fans they got eliminated by Geno Smith. That's a gift 394 00:18:41,988 --> 00:18:44,668 Speaker 1: that keeps on given all your law to Seattle, Tenny 395 00:18:44,748 --> 00:18:47,148 Speaker 1: Bridgewater filling in, but to a tongue of by lawa 396 00:18:47,268 --> 00:18:51,428 Speaker 1: mac Jones. Both guys fighting for their playoff holts, Bill Belichick, 397 00:18:51,668 --> 00:18:55,588 Speaker 1: Mike McDaniel. Bill gets the victory, getting it done Patriots 398 00:18:55,588 --> 00:18:59,588 Speaker 1: now in the playoffs, Dolphins have struggled. Let's see what 399 00:18:59,748 --> 00:19:02,788 Speaker 1: Bill Belichick and Mike McDaniel have This had to say 400 00:19:02,948 --> 00:19:06,188 Speaker 1: after the game. It's a good feeling. It's been a 401 00:19:06,188 --> 00:19:08,948 Speaker 1: while since we beat them, so it's definitely good to 402 00:19:09,268 --> 00:19:11,908 Speaker 1: finally get on the right side of that lecture. Yeah, 403 00:19:11,988 --> 00:19:14,948 Speaker 1: definitely didn't expect this. Pretty frustrating. Got a lot of 404 00:19:14,948 --> 00:19:17,588 Speaker 1: guys laying it on the line, and you'd want to 405 00:19:17,988 --> 00:19:21,308 Speaker 1: get the results you feel like the team deserves and 406 00:19:21,828 --> 00:19:23,908 Speaker 1: should get and you come up short. That's kind of 407 00:19:23,948 --> 00:19:31,068 Speaker 1: the nature of football when you make critical mistakes. All right, 408 00:19:31,148 --> 00:19:34,428 Speaker 1: here's a look at the updated AFC playoff picture with 409 00:19:34,468 --> 00:19:36,948 Speaker 1: that win of the Dolphins. Yesterday's patriot'sself sit in the 410 00:19:37,188 --> 00:19:40,388 Speaker 1: seven spot. With a win in Week eighteen against the 411 00:19:40,468 --> 00:19:45,428 Speaker 1: Bills that came in Buffalo, they will clench the wild card. 412 00:19:45,508 --> 00:19:47,988 Speaker 1: So they do have their own destiny in their hands, 413 00:19:47,988 --> 00:19:50,508 Speaker 1: but kind of it's a tough road to say the least. 414 00:19:51,348 --> 00:19:54,468 Speaker 1: Patriots win over the Dolphins. Miami's suffering a lot of 415 00:19:54,468 --> 00:19:57,468 Speaker 1: injuries down the stretch. What stood up most of you guys, Jay, 416 00:19:57,748 --> 00:20:00,428 Speaker 1: Patriots defense, I mean all season long from training camp 417 00:20:00,588 --> 00:20:03,348 Speaker 1: and we talked about Matt Patricia and Joe Judge and 418 00:20:03,468 --> 00:20:06,828 Speaker 1: the offensive. Is it Bailey Zappi, is it Mac Jones? 419 00:20:07,028 --> 00:20:09,908 Speaker 1: The defense just has continued to step up all season 420 00:20:09,988 --> 00:20:14,268 Speaker 1: law their seventh defensive touchdown yesterday when Kyle Dugger had 421 00:20:14,308 --> 00:20:17,868 Speaker 1: to pick six, Josh Ouch Judea have been all over 422 00:20:17,908 --> 00:20:21,468 Speaker 1: the place, sack in the quarterback, Jonathan Jones had an interception, 423 00:20:21,508 --> 00:20:23,628 Speaker 1: Devin McCardy should have had one that hit him right 424 00:20:23,668 --> 00:20:26,788 Speaker 1: in the chest. These guys have played well and they've 425 00:20:26,788 --> 00:20:29,068 Speaker 1: gotten it done all season long. This is the most 426 00:20:29,148 --> 00:20:33,308 Speaker 1: touchdown scored on the defense in franchise history. Four straight 427 00:20:33,388 --> 00:20:38,028 Speaker 1: games with a defensive touchdown. It's so impressive. They're finding 428 00:20:38,068 --> 00:20:40,548 Speaker 1: a way to get it done, not only on that side, 429 00:20:40,628 --> 00:20:43,588 Speaker 1: special teams as well. But look at this. One hundred 430 00:20:43,668 --> 00:20:46,908 Speaker 1: and eleven points scored off of takeaways, most in the 431 00:20:47,028 --> 00:20:51,028 Speaker 1: NFL by the New England Patriots this season. For some reason, 432 00:20:51,188 --> 00:20:54,228 Speaker 1: Bill Belichick his staff, they always find a way to 433 00:20:54,308 --> 00:20:56,948 Speaker 1: win football games. And even the games they've lost, they've 434 00:20:56,948 --> 00:20:59,268 Speaker 1: been in it and they found ways to slow other 435 00:20:59,268 --> 00:21:03,068 Speaker 1: teams offensive down. You saw yesterday Jalen Waddle Tyreek Hill 436 00:21:03,268 --> 00:21:06,268 Speaker 1: both had fifty something was receiving and we're non factors 437 00:21:06,268 --> 00:21:08,788 Speaker 1: in that game. Yeah. What happened to the Dolphins this season? 438 00:21:08,908 --> 00:21:11,188 Speaker 1: You know, they were eight and three. I wonder if, 439 00:21:11,188 --> 00:21:13,748 Speaker 1: like the Cowboy, just this is an all time collapse. 440 00:21:13,788 --> 00:21:15,788 Speaker 1: And yet we're looking at like, well, they're all injured, right, 441 00:21:15,868 --> 00:21:17,308 Speaker 1: but they're eight and three. Now they're eight and eight, 442 00:21:17,308 --> 00:21:18,828 Speaker 1: and they're funding for their playoff lives. They need a 443 00:21:18,828 --> 00:21:21,588 Speaker 1: lot of things to happen. I look at the Dolphins season. 444 00:21:21,628 --> 00:21:23,348 Speaker 1: This is a shame. This is not how you want 445 00:21:23,388 --> 00:21:25,868 Speaker 1: to start. Now. Look, I was a surprise anybody. At 446 00:21:25,948 --> 00:21:29,348 Speaker 1: eleven twenty nine am, I get an alert on my phone. 447 00:21:29,468 --> 00:21:32,668 Speaker 1: Armstead's out, is Aving, Howard's out, Bradley Chubs out. I'm like, 448 00:21:32,668 --> 00:21:35,388 Speaker 1: this is for the season, Like and they were all injured. Like, 449 00:21:35,388 --> 00:21:37,028 Speaker 1: I don't know I to tell you, injuries happened, but 450 00:21:37,028 --> 00:21:39,188 Speaker 1: they were down to their fourth and fifth offensive tackles. 451 00:21:39,668 --> 00:21:43,068 Speaker 1: They had all their defensive backfield just completely littered with injury. 452 00:21:43,468 --> 00:21:44,668 Speaker 1: And yet they were in it. They were in it, 453 00:21:44,668 --> 00:21:47,028 Speaker 1: they were in it. They're up fourteen seven. But gosh, 454 00:21:47,068 --> 00:21:49,868 Speaker 1: what a lost season for the Miami Dolphins. And it's 455 00:21:49,868 --> 00:21:51,628 Speaker 1: what could have been. I don't know. I don't want 456 00:21:51,668 --> 00:21:53,948 Speaker 1: to be too harsh on them. You deal with concussions 457 00:21:53,948 --> 00:21:56,228 Speaker 1: three from your quarterback and then you go out and 458 00:21:56,388 --> 00:21:57,948 Speaker 1: Teddy has to leave the game with one looks like 459 00:21:57,948 --> 00:22:01,188 Speaker 1: a pinky injury. Now Skyler Thompson in a big spot. Again, 460 00:22:01,268 --> 00:22:03,028 Speaker 1: that's not how it's supposed to be in Week seventeen. 461 00:22:03,068 --> 00:22:05,708 Speaker 1: But gosh, Dolphins fans feelia and stuff like this shouldn't 462 00:22:05,708 --> 00:22:07,708 Speaker 1: be happening in week seventeen. From eight and three to 463 00:22:07,948 --> 00:22:10,428 Speaker 1: so right now, probably missing the playoffs. All credit to 464 00:22:10,468 --> 00:22:12,388 Speaker 1: the Patriots for getting the job done, but like, that's 465 00:22:12,428 --> 00:22:14,548 Speaker 1: an all time class from the Dolphins fans and for 466 00:22:14,588 --> 00:22:16,068 Speaker 1: them to not even make the playoffs this season, I 467 00:22:16,108 --> 00:22:17,908 Speaker 1: feel you in Miami fans. Yeah, it's been a while 468 00:22:18,028 --> 00:22:20,228 Speaker 1: ride for Dolphins fans this entire season, Like before the 469 00:22:20,228 --> 00:22:22,548 Speaker 1: season started, everybody was like, what can Tua? Can he 470 00:22:22,628 --> 00:22:24,548 Speaker 1: make the most out of you know, Tyreek Hill, and 471 00:22:24,548 --> 00:22:25,988 Speaker 1: can he do what Mahomes did? And then all of 472 00:22:25,988 --> 00:22:27,988 Speaker 1: a sudden, Yeah, he's doing it. He's doing actually better 473 00:22:28,148 --> 00:22:30,668 Speaker 1: right now with two of than they were of Mahomes, 474 00:22:30,668 --> 00:22:32,348 Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill and Lada. And then all of a sudden 475 00:22:32,348 --> 00:22:34,148 Speaker 1: everything just can crash it down. I look at the 476 00:22:34,188 --> 00:22:36,668 Speaker 1: Patriots and I look at mac Jones, and it's like 477 00:22:36,708 --> 00:22:39,068 Speaker 1: when I would help my son work with Matt it's 478 00:22:39,108 --> 00:22:41,828 Speaker 1: like teaching him how to multiply, teach him long division, 479 00:22:42,108 --> 00:22:43,788 Speaker 1: and it's like, all of a sudden, once he figures 480 00:22:43,788 --> 00:22:45,388 Speaker 1: it out, deciphers the code, it's like, all right, light 481 00:22:45,428 --> 00:22:47,868 Speaker 1: bulb goes on to me. That was mac Jones on 482 00:22:47,988 --> 00:22:50,268 Speaker 1: third down in this game. Third down is its own 483 00:22:50,268 --> 00:22:53,508 Speaker 1: little entity in football. We talk about game situation advantage, 484 00:22:53,548 --> 00:22:57,108 Speaker 1: that third down defenses are different, different tendencies, different coverages, 485 00:22:57,268 --> 00:23:00,388 Speaker 1: and yet Mac Jones on third down every single time 486 00:23:00,468 --> 00:23:02,388 Speaker 1: delivered it was it was a lot of touch pass. 487 00:23:02,588 --> 00:23:04,908 Speaker 1: All those plays on third down is what kept them 488 00:23:04,908 --> 00:23:08,308 Speaker 1: on the field, and that in itself is it's good 489 00:23:08,308 --> 00:23:10,348 Speaker 1: to see a young quarterback finally figuring out how to 490 00:23:10,348 --> 00:23:12,428 Speaker 1: decipher the code and to me, mac Jel's did that 491 00:23:12,468 --> 00:23:14,548 Speaker 1: on third day. Hey, we've got you covered. Over the 492 00:23:14,548 --> 00:23:17,308 Speaker 1: next couple hours, we're gonna get to every highlight, every team, 493 00:23:17,348 --> 00:23:20,268 Speaker 1: all the playoff implications, and we're gonna talk Jalen Hurts too, 494 00:23:20,268 --> 00:23:21,908 Speaker 1: and what the Eagles are gonna do in the final 495 00:23:21,908 --> 00:23:39,668 Speaker 1: week of the season. I know the AFC we're talking 496 00:23:39,828 --> 00:23:42,948 Speaker 1: buys and home field advantage, but man and the Eagles 497 00:23:42,988 --> 00:23:44,708 Speaker 1: let this one slip away. It would be such an 498 00:23:44,708 --> 00:23:47,468 Speaker 1: interesting way that their season goes down. Let's hang in 499 00:23:47,508 --> 00:23:49,508 Speaker 1: the NFC. Let's take a look at their NFC plaoff 500 00:23:49,548 --> 00:23:53,508 Speaker 1: picture with one week to go. Eagles still at the top, 501 00:23:53,548 --> 00:23:55,748 Speaker 1: but things are getting real dicey on left side of 502 00:23:55,788 --> 00:23:58,708 Speaker 1: the screen after losing to the Saints. The doors now open. 503 00:23:58,828 --> 00:24:01,788 Speaker 1: Three teams have a shot at the one seed, a 504 00:24:01,908 --> 00:24:06,948 Speaker 1: buy and home field advantage. That is such a heavy 505 00:24:06,948 --> 00:24:09,868 Speaker 1: gift to have in January. For Philadelphia, all they need 506 00:24:09,948 --> 00:24:12,028 Speaker 1: is a win against the Giants in week eighteen, right, Sean, 507 00:24:12,148 --> 00:24:14,348 Speaker 1: That's all they need and they've got it if they 508 00:24:14,388 --> 00:24:16,708 Speaker 1: lose them forty nine ers. They just need to win 509 00:24:16,748 --> 00:24:20,228 Speaker 1: against the Cardinals and they would jump from three to 510 00:24:20,268 --> 00:24:22,028 Speaker 1: one and get the one seat. Cowboys don't have a 511 00:24:22,028 --> 00:24:24,828 Speaker 1: shot too. They have to beat the Commanders and hope 512 00:24:24,828 --> 00:24:26,948 Speaker 1: that both the Eagles and the forty nine ers lose. 513 00:24:27,388 --> 00:24:28,908 Speaker 1: The name that you do not hear in that conversation 514 00:24:29,028 --> 00:24:30,948 Speaker 1: is the Minnesota Vikings. All right, what a difference a 515 00:24:30,948 --> 00:24:33,588 Speaker 1: couple of weeks can make for the Eagles? Jay, what 516 00:24:33,628 --> 00:24:35,788 Speaker 1: do you make of the situation that they are in 517 00:24:35,948 --> 00:24:38,388 Speaker 1: right now? Is it quarterback? Is it team? Is it 518 00:24:38,508 --> 00:24:41,508 Speaker 1: just they kind of fluking at the right time. It's 519 00:24:41,508 --> 00:24:44,428 Speaker 1: strong time, it's quarterback. And I think you know, sometimes 520 00:24:44,428 --> 00:24:46,548 Speaker 1: you have that girlfriend that you take advantage of and 521 00:24:47,228 --> 00:24:49,548 Speaker 1: she says to you, you take for granted. I'll say 522 00:24:49,588 --> 00:24:52,748 Speaker 1: that you take for granted as she says, she says, 523 00:24:52,868 --> 00:24:56,388 Speaker 1: you're gonna miss me when I'm gone. Jalen Hurts is 524 00:24:56,388 --> 00:24:59,788 Speaker 1: one of the most valuable players in the NFL. And 525 00:24:59,868 --> 00:25:01,948 Speaker 1: when he was out there, and I'm not saying Eagles 526 00:25:01,948 --> 00:25:04,588 Speaker 1: fans or Eagles players an organization, they know what they 527 00:25:04,588 --> 00:25:07,308 Speaker 1: have in Jalen Hurts. Where we heard Michael Parson said, hey, 528 00:25:07,308 --> 00:25:09,868 Speaker 1: it's more of the system, and guys around him said, well, 529 00:25:09,908 --> 00:25:12,548 Speaker 1: they have the best offensive line in football. Well, their 530 00:25:12,628 --> 00:25:15,068 Speaker 1: rushing attack is very good. Well, they're at the top 531 00:25:15,108 --> 00:25:18,348 Speaker 1: of takeaways on defense. No, Jalen Hurts is that good. 532 00:25:18,348 --> 00:25:20,868 Speaker 1: And we've seen over the past two weeks without him 533 00:25:20,948 --> 00:25:23,228 Speaker 1: in the lineup, it hurts them. You saw it a 534 00:25:23,268 --> 00:25:26,548 Speaker 1: lot yesterday. Gardner Mitchell a really good backup quarterback and 535 00:25:26,628 --> 00:25:29,868 Speaker 1: has played admirably in Jalen hurts absence. But they're a 536 00:25:29,868 --> 00:25:33,028 Speaker 1: different football team, a different offense with Jalen Hurts out 537 00:25:33,068 --> 00:25:35,468 Speaker 1: there leading the way. And it's the way he does it, 538 00:25:35,548 --> 00:25:37,788 Speaker 1: the way he goes about his business, the way he works, 539 00:25:37,948 --> 00:25:41,268 Speaker 1: the confidence that he pushes, and the energy he pushes 540 00:25:41,268 --> 00:25:43,948 Speaker 1: throughout the team. So not having him out there is huge. 541 00:25:43,948 --> 00:25:46,228 Speaker 1: So you look at his Eagles football team, of course, 542 00:25:46,228 --> 00:25:49,068 Speaker 1: there's a level of concern. You look at other teams. 543 00:25:49,148 --> 00:25:52,868 Speaker 1: We talk about Patrick Mahomes, possible MVP, Joe Burrow, possible MVP, 544 00:25:53,188 --> 00:25:55,708 Speaker 1: Josh Allen, all these guys names has been mentioned. You 545 00:25:55,788 --> 00:25:58,868 Speaker 1: take them off their football teams, they're not the same offense. 546 00:25:59,028 --> 00:26:01,708 Speaker 1: They're gonna struggle as well. So Philadelphia over the last 547 00:26:01,708 --> 00:26:04,588 Speaker 1: two weeks, they've lost these games, and you would back 548 00:26:04,628 --> 00:26:07,308 Speaker 1: that when you lose Jalen Hurts as your quarterback. Just 549 00:26:07,348 --> 00:26:09,628 Speaker 1: not gonna take off and say, oh, everybody's gonna step up, 550 00:26:09,668 --> 00:26:11,508 Speaker 1: and they're gonna still win games. They they're gonna clinch 551 00:26:11,548 --> 00:26:13,548 Speaker 1: the division, and they're gonna clinch the number one seed. 552 00:26:13,588 --> 00:26:15,788 Speaker 1: It's gonna be tough, but I will say their defense 553 00:26:15,828 --> 00:26:18,788 Speaker 1: still played really well yesterday, only giving up thirteen points 554 00:26:18,788 --> 00:26:21,068 Speaker 1: in that game. That's winning football. If you can do 555 00:26:21,108 --> 00:26:23,388 Speaker 1: that late in the season going into the playoffs, you 556 00:26:23,468 --> 00:26:25,908 Speaker 1: give yourself a chance to win those games. So the 557 00:26:26,028 --> 00:26:28,388 Speaker 1: defense is still playing well. They just need to get 558 00:26:28,428 --> 00:26:30,628 Speaker 1: jail and hurtsback. He needs to be healthy. If he's healthy, 559 00:26:30,748 --> 00:26:32,908 Speaker 1: and I'm an Eagles fan, I still feel confident in 560 00:26:32,988 --> 00:26:34,828 Speaker 1: my team that we can go into the playoffs and 561 00:26:34,828 --> 00:26:37,468 Speaker 1: win full Everyone said Jalen Hurts lost the MVP when 562 00:26:37,468 --> 00:26:40,188 Speaker 1: he went down with the injury. I think his MVP 563 00:26:40,348 --> 00:26:43,108 Speaker 1: odds actually should be much higher. Today you see the 564 00:26:43,108 --> 00:26:45,628 Speaker 1: Eagles without Jalen Hurts, and as much as they love Minshew, 565 00:26:45,668 --> 00:26:47,708 Speaker 1: he's a backup quarterback and Jalen Hurts as a starter. 566 00:26:48,228 --> 00:26:50,548 Speaker 1: My takeaway on the Eagles is it's a long season. 567 00:26:50,788 --> 00:26:52,588 Speaker 1: They added a week to the season. It's now an 568 00:26:52,588 --> 00:26:55,428 Speaker 1: eighteen week season. Five weeks ago, no one was touching 569 00:26:55,468 --> 00:26:59,388 Speaker 1: the Eagles, but injuries happen. Yeah, and we're not done 570 00:26:59,388 --> 00:27:02,028 Speaker 1: with the regular season yet. That's how long this season 571 00:27:02,148 --> 00:27:04,348 Speaker 1: is right now. And the Eagles could have had five 572 00:27:04,588 --> 00:27:07,108 Speaker 1: weeks rest for Jalen Hurts. They could have if they 573 00:27:07,108 --> 00:27:08,788 Speaker 1: had just taken care of business one of these last 574 00:27:08,788 --> 00:27:10,788 Speaker 1: two weeks. They don't have to play on next week, 575 00:27:10,988 --> 00:27:12,868 Speaker 1: and then you get the bye week, and then you 576 00:27:12,948 --> 00:27:15,148 Speaker 1: get a home playoff game, then you get another home 577 00:27:15,148 --> 00:27:17,468 Speaker 1: playoff game. Now they got to rush Jalen Hurts back. 578 00:27:17,508 --> 00:27:19,348 Speaker 1: He's got a play next week, like they need him 579 00:27:19,388 --> 00:27:22,188 Speaker 1: to win. And I don't know if the Giants are 580 00:27:22,228 --> 00:27:24,508 Speaker 1: gonna play their starters. I don't Daboll said they were, 581 00:27:24,508 --> 00:27:25,828 Speaker 1: but I just know how these games go. Maybe they 582 00:27:25,868 --> 00:27:27,268 Speaker 1: roll out the starters and then the second quarter and 583 00:27:27,308 --> 00:27:29,428 Speaker 1: they don't and they rest everybody and they say, let's 584 00:27:29,428 --> 00:27:31,108 Speaker 1: prepare for the playoffs. But I don't think the Giants 585 00:27:31,148 --> 00:27:33,148 Speaker 1: are that type of team that's just gonna lay down anyway. 586 00:27:33,188 --> 00:27:35,868 Speaker 1: Like even if it's the Giants backups, they're gonna fight hard. 587 00:27:36,028 --> 00:27:40,788 Speaker 1: And you know, Lane Johnson, Jalen Hurts, Chauncey Gardner Johnson yesterday, 588 00:27:40,868 --> 00:27:42,868 Speaker 1: Josh Sweat goes down. It's a long season. You don't 589 00:27:42,868 --> 00:27:45,068 Speaker 1: win super Bowls in November, you win them in February. 590 00:27:45,268 --> 00:27:47,308 Speaker 1: And the Eagles are not the healthiest team right now. 591 00:27:47,428 --> 00:27:49,228 Speaker 1: They need to get right and I just think the 592 00:27:49,268 --> 00:27:50,988 Speaker 1: season went a wrong way for them right now. And 593 00:27:51,268 --> 00:27:52,908 Speaker 1: I don't know if they're still the top dogs in 594 00:27:52,908 --> 00:27:55,228 Speaker 1: the NFC. I genuinely don't even if they secure the bye. 595 00:27:55,468 --> 00:27:57,308 Speaker 1: It feels like bizarro world right now the way we're 596 00:27:57,348 --> 00:27:59,148 Speaker 1: talking about the Eagles, because I feel like it was 597 00:27:59,148 --> 00:28:01,068 Speaker 1: just a couple of weeks ago that they throttled the 598 00:28:01,148 --> 00:28:04,628 Speaker 1: Giants in MetLife Stadium and they looked like they were 599 00:28:04,668 --> 00:28:07,188 Speaker 1: in a totally different class. It's definitely bizarre world. You 600 00:28:07,228 --> 00:28:10,588 Speaker 1: guys got me doing Eagles highlights here on a Monday morning, 601 00:28:10,948 --> 00:28:13,228 Speaker 1: and yet the Giants are the ones that have already 602 00:28:13,228 --> 00:28:15,628 Speaker 1: clinched their playoff spot and we already know where they're at, 603 00:28:15,668 --> 00:28:18,228 Speaker 1: and we're still we don't know yet, We're still TBD 604 00:28:18,428 --> 00:28:20,268 Speaker 1: on the best team in the NFC all season long. 605 00:28:20,308 --> 00:28:22,668 Speaker 1: They could fall from the number one seed. I mean, 606 00:28:22,708 --> 00:28:24,828 Speaker 1: they could still win the division, but fall out of that. 607 00:28:24,988 --> 00:28:27,428 Speaker 1: It's it's really a mind boggling when you think about 608 00:28:27,468 --> 00:28:29,708 Speaker 1: where the Eagles are and yet with all of this 609 00:28:30,028 --> 00:28:32,788 Speaker 1: noise around him, I don't have any concerns about how 610 00:28:32,788 --> 00:28:34,788 Speaker 1: good this team can be. Jayla Hurts is coming back. 611 00:28:34,788 --> 00:28:37,628 Speaker 1: He's not out for the season. Look, Gardner Minshew. Look, 612 00:28:37,668 --> 00:28:39,868 Speaker 1: people have different expectations when the backup quarterback comes in. 613 00:28:39,908 --> 00:28:42,508 Speaker 1: They're like, hey, it should act as if the offense 614 00:28:42,588 --> 00:28:45,308 Speaker 1: is still running. No, that's so hard to do. And 615 00:28:45,348 --> 00:28:47,548 Speaker 1: I'll say this, I don't put it all on Gardner Minshew. Look, 616 00:28:47,588 --> 00:28:49,188 Speaker 1: Nick Sirianni, you got to wear some of this too, 617 00:28:49,228 --> 00:28:51,748 Speaker 1: because what happened to this number one ranked rushing offense 618 00:28:51,788 --> 00:28:53,548 Speaker 1: that we saw from the Eagles. They were the most 619 00:28:53,588 --> 00:28:56,948 Speaker 1: balanced offense all your season long, and yet they had 620 00:28:57,028 --> 00:29:00,388 Speaker 1: nine rushing yards in the first half. This can't happen. Look, 621 00:29:00,428 --> 00:29:02,588 Speaker 1: when Jayla Hurts is out, it's okay. We've got to 622 00:29:02,588 --> 00:29:05,228 Speaker 1: rely on the run game. We've got to say, you 623 00:29:05,268 --> 00:29:07,748 Speaker 1: know who else was out Lane Johnson. You're all pro 624 00:29:07,868 --> 00:29:09,548 Speaker 1: right tackle who hadn't given up a sack or a 625 00:29:09,628 --> 00:29:13,108 Speaker 1: quarterback hit all season long, and now Jack Driscoll's being 626 00:29:13,108 --> 00:29:15,108 Speaker 1: taken a task and you've got Garner Minshew throwing the 627 00:29:15,108 --> 00:29:17,988 Speaker 1: ball thirty times in this game. So I think when 628 00:29:18,108 --> 00:29:20,228 Speaker 1: when something like that happens, you got to say, all right, listen, 629 00:29:20,228 --> 00:29:22,628 Speaker 1: we gotta put our best foot forward. Offensively, I don't 630 00:29:22,668 --> 00:29:25,268 Speaker 1: put this all on Garner Minshew. Like the Eagles are 631 00:29:25,268 --> 00:29:27,628 Speaker 1: still one of the most physical teams defensively. I mean 632 00:29:27,628 --> 00:29:29,828 Speaker 1: they're getting after people. What they're doing right now, they 633 00:29:29,948 --> 00:29:32,268 Speaker 1: lead the league in sacks right now, They're getting after quarterbacks. 634 00:29:32,588 --> 00:29:34,668 Speaker 1: But I feel like this offense is still very balanced, 635 00:29:34,668 --> 00:29:37,228 Speaker 1: still very physical, and when Jalen comes back, they're going 636 00:29:37,268 --> 00:29:38,788 Speaker 1: to get back to doing what they do best. And 637 00:29:39,228 --> 00:29:41,788 Speaker 1: for Ego fans, I don't think they have any worry 638 00:29:41,828 --> 00:29:44,868 Speaker 1: for concern abouts, but they do have worry. That's they 639 00:29:44,908 --> 00:29:49,388 Speaker 1: do which right now right like everybody's looking for, you know, 640 00:29:49,428 --> 00:29:52,908 Speaker 1: something to call themselves down. But Egos fans, you'll be 641 00:29:52,908 --> 00:29:54,988 Speaker 1: all right. Eagles fans are some of the most loyal 642 00:29:55,068 --> 00:29:57,988 Speaker 1: in the NFL, and they are married to their team 643 00:29:58,268 --> 00:30:00,468 Speaker 1: better than most. I think, in sickness and in health, 644 00:30:00,508 --> 00:30:03,148 Speaker 1: for richer, for poor your offensive line, it's sick a 645 00:30:03,188 --> 00:30:05,788 Speaker 1: little bit and it's limpi a little bit. Lane JOHNSONID 646 00:30:05,828 --> 00:30:07,908 Speaker 1: we don't we talked Jalen Hurts's injury, and Kyle said 647 00:30:07,988 --> 00:30:11,188 Speaker 1: last week like words that concern me are pectoral or 648 00:30:11,228 --> 00:30:14,548 Speaker 1: ac joy too, it's bad injuries down the stretch, the 649 00:30:14,948 --> 00:30:17,828 Speaker 1: sc injury, Okay, bad down the stretch for the Eagles. 650 00:30:18,228 --> 00:30:20,508 Speaker 1: On Thursday, Sean I called out your name when I 651 00:30:20,508 --> 00:30:22,668 Speaker 1: said the Eagles have to zip up their line, and 652 00:30:22,748 --> 00:30:26,548 Speaker 1: they did not against the Saints. Six sacks, six as 653 00:30:26,588 --> 00:30:28,868 Speaker 1: It wasn't like he was taken down one time, half 654 00:30:28,908 --> 00:30:32,188 Speaker 1: a dozen time. And frankly, the Saints they got a 655 00:30:32,308 --> 00:30:34,828 Speaker 1: lead and they only had to pressure Gardner Minsho twelve 656 00:30:34,868 --> 00:30:37,468 Speaker 1: times and they got him six times. I know it's 657 00:30:37,548 --> 00:30:40,348 Speaker 1: not just a Minshew problem, but to me, this late 658 00:30:40,348 --> 00:30:43,388 Speaker 1: in the season, teams are going to lean into Wow, 659 00:30:43,468 --> 00:30:45,668 Speaker 1: look look at how the Saints got after him. Saints 660 00:30:45,668 --> 00:30:47,508 Speaker 1: weren't playing for much and this is what they were 661 00:30:47,548 --> 00:30:50,668 Speaker 1: able to do against the Eagles six times. I'm sorry, 662 00:30:50,828 --> 00:30:53,348 Speaker 1: that's a problem. I don't care who it is. Jalen Hurts. 663 00:30:53,428 --> 00:30:54,828 Speaker 1: It's not like he's getting the ball. I know he 664 00:30:54,868 --> 00:30:57,428 Speaker 1: has escapability a little bit more than Gardner Minshew. But 665 00:30:57,468 --> 00:30:59,548 Speaker 1: if a team as good of a defensive line as 666 00:30:59,548 --> 00:31:02,308 Speaker 1: the Saints, said, Cam Jordan looked fantastic. If they can 667 00:31:02,308 --> 00:31:04,908 Speaker 1: get after and get your quarterback six times times, even 668 00:31:04,908 --> 00:31:06,748 Speaker 1: get your hand on him, that does not bode well 669 00:31:06,788 --> 00:31:09,108 Speaker 1: for January. You don't want your quarterback on his feet 670 00:31:09,188 --> 00:31:11,428 Speaker 1: that much, and with a bump shoulder too. It's so 671 00:31:11,468 --> 00:31:14,308 Speaker 1: tough for that Eagles team. Like we mentioned Sarianni, Jalen 672 00:31:14,388 --> 00:31:17,148 Speaker 1: Hurts and Gardner Mischie are two totally different types of facts. 673 00:31:17,148 --> 00:31:19,788 Speaker 1: And when you design an offense all offseason, all season 674 00:31:19,828 --> 00:31:21,908 Speaker 1: long for a guy like Jalen Hurts and now you 675 00:31:21,948 --> 00:31:24,868 Speaker 1: put Minshew in. You talked about the running game. Jalen 676 00:31:24,948 --> 00:31:27,028 Speaker 1: Hurts is such a threat to run the ball that 677 00:31:27,148 --> 00:31:29,668 Speaker 1: when he's doing a gun read and as a defense, yeah, 678 00:31:29,668 --> 00:31:31,348 Speaker 1: you're not biting on any you're not biting on that. Yeah, 679 00:31:31,348 --> 00:31:33,708 Speaker 1: we're not worried about Gardner keeping the ball. So when 680 00:31:33,788 --> 00:31:35,628 Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts gets healthy, and I like the fact that 681 00:31:35,628 --> 00:31:37,828 Speaker 1: he's playing in this last game because he'll get a 682 00:31:37,868 --> 00:31:41,468 Speaker 1: chance to knock some of the rust off. Not have to, 683 00:31:41,588 --> 00:31:43,868 Speaker 1: but I want him to play even if they can 684 00:31:43,948 --> 00:31:46,068 Speaker 1: go in there win the game commanded. But to your point, 685 00:31:46,068 --> 00:31:47,748 Speaker 1: if he could have gotten in and gotten out knowing 686 00:31:47,788 --> 00:31:49,668 Speaker 1: that they didn't need that game, would have been a 687 00:31:49,668 --> 00:31:51,468 Speaker 1: better feeling, But I like the fact that he's coming 688 00:31:51,508 --> 00:31:53,228 Speaker 1: back and getting a chance to play and it's not 689 00:31:53,308 --> 00:31:55,348 Speaker 1: five weeks off and then throwing him out there to 690 00:31:55,348 --> 00:31:56,948 Speaker 1: the wolf. Still a lot to cover on Good Morning 691 00:31:56,988 --> 00:32:00,428 Speaker 1: Football This Morning, Brady, he's got a top Tom Brady. 692 00:32:00,508 --> 00:32:03,668 Speaker 1: They secure the NFC South for a second straight season. 693 00:32:03,828 --> 00:32:06,788 Speaker 1: Is Tampa Bay oh No? Getting hot at just the 694 00:32:06,868 --> 00:32:13,388 Speaker 1: right time. H
