That was one 10 00:00:41,348 --> 00:00:42,068 Speaker 3: of the reasons you. 11 00:00:41,948 --> 00:00:43,548 Speaker 1: Go out as a fantasy the game to see them 12 00:00:43,548 --> 00:00:47,188 Speaker 1: when twenty to seventeen. But naturally a lot of talk about, 13 00:00:47,188 --> 00:00:47,868 Speaker 1: oh my god. 14 00:00:47,668 --> 00:00:50,308 Speaker 3: The Eagles were ten and one at one point. Jalen, 15 00:00:50,948 --> 00:00:52,668 Speaker 3: what is going on? 16 00:00:55,228 --> 00:00:58,988 Speaker 5: I've been talking about execution all year. Been on the 17 00:00:59,028 --> 00:01:03,028 Speaker 5: same page. Everyone been on the same page and beating 18 00:01:03,108 --> 00:01:11,388 Speaker 5: net YOUQ, I don't think where we're committed enough, you know, 19 00:01:13,428 --> 00:01:15,508 Speaker 5: you know, just just got to turn it around. We 20 00:01:15,628 --> 00:01:20,548 Speaker 5: have to. We have to make a like a like 21 00:01:20,668 --> 00:01:28,148 Speaker 5: internal change and how we attack things, how we come 22 00:01:28,228 --> 00:01:31,028 Speaker 5: to work every day. You know, it starts with the 23 00:01:31,028 --> 00:01:33,428 Speaker 5: little things. How committed we are to doing what we're doing, 24 00:01:34,068 --> 00:01:35,708 Speaker 5: and it all starts with me the quarterback. 25 00:01:39,828 --> 00:01:41,868 Speaker 4: All right, So here is a look at the NFC 26 00:01:41,908 --> 00:01:44,188 Speaker 4: playoff picture, Peter, as you walk us through the fact 27 00:01:44,188 --> 00:01:45,988 Speaker 4: that there was a flip flop that happened in the 28 00:01:46,108 --> 00:01:48,228 Speaker 4: NFCS and the Cowboys find themselves on the love side 29 00:01:48,228 --> 00:01:48,788 Speaker 4: of the screen again. 30 00:01:48,828 --> 00:01:50,948 Speaker 6: Yeah, the Cowboys are now the team in the NFC. 31 00:01:51,028 --> 00:01:53,508 Speaker 6: And what's interesting here you're saying, well, how because they're 32 00:01:53,508 --> 00:01:57,988 Speaker 6: split these teams, Okay, Eagles and Cowboys as you see 33 00:01:57,988 --> 00:02:01,948 Speaker 6: it right now, because of conference records and the shared opponents, 34 00:02:01,948 --> 00:02:04,868 Speaker 6: it's gonna change. There's a way deeper analytical in Ohio 35 00:02:05,108 --> 00:02:07,068 Speaker 6: changed to next week because of that. 36 00:02:07,348 --> 00:02:09,508 Speaker 3: The tiebreaker goes to the Cowboys right now. 37 00:02:09,548 --> 00:02:12,388 Speaker 6: So whereas yesterday were like Cowboys loose to Buffalo, they 38 00:02:12,428 --> 00:02:16,108 Speaker 6: squandered the opportunity to play at home. Just like that, 39 00:02:16,148 --> 00:02:18,308 Speaker 6: in twenty four hours, they'd have two home games. You know, 40 00:02:18,468 --> 00:02:22,068 Speaker 6: that's how it goes. They're the two The Eagles would 41 00:02:22,068 --> 00:02:24,308 Speaker 6: be going on the road to Tampa. And if it's 42 00:02:24,348 --> 00:02:26,188 Speaker 6: the same Philly team we've seen this month, I'm not 43 00:02:26,228 --> 00:02:28,308 Speaker 6: so sure that's a that's a that's a win. 44 00:02:28,748 --> 00:02:31,788 Speaker 4: Ree Street losses for Philadelphia. Sometimes the question is as 45 00:02:31,828 --> 00:02:33,748 Speaker 4: simple as the Jason, what's the problem. 46 00:02:34,148 --> 00:02:36,148 Speaker 7: There's a lot going on in Philly, and I'll start 47 00:02:36,148 --> 00:02:38,788 Speaker 7: when we talked about it yesterday with Matt Patricia taking 48 00:02:38,828 --> 00:02:41,268 Speaker 7: over the defense, and for a large part of that game, 49 00:02:41,308 --> 00:02:43,468 Speaker 7: the defense looked better. They have red zone stops in 50 00:02:43,468 --> 00:02:45,828 Speaker 7: the first half, and then they got to the final drive. 51 00:02:45,828 --> 00:02:47,748 Speaker 7: In the final drive they gave up ninety two yards 52 00:02:47,788 --> 00:02:49,908 Speaker 7: for a touchdown pass. And in the NFL, if you 53 00:02:49,948 --> 00:02:51,468 Speaker 7: want to win games and close out, you got to 54 00:02:51,468 --> 00:02:53,268 Speaker 7: be able to cover somebody man the man, and they 55 00:02:53,308 --> 00:02:56,028 Speaker 7: attacked James Bradber. But as you look at them playing 56 00:02:56,068 --> 00:02:57,988 Speaker 7: that game last night, you're looking at jail and Hurts 57 00:02:58,028 --> 00:02:59,828 Speaker 7: and we know he's dealing with a knee injury. 58 00:02:59,828 --> 00:03:00,428 Speaker 3: He was sick. 59 00:03:00,668 --> 00:03:02,868 Speaker 7: He scrambled around and he ran the ball well. When 60 00:03:02,868 --> 00:03:05,388 Speaker 7: he did that, when it came time to throw the ball, 61 00:03:05,548 --> 00:03:08,108 Speaker 7: there just wasn't there. There were opportunities where there were 62 00:03:08,148 --> 00:03:10,308 Speaker 7: checkdowns that are crossing Rolse. He's throwing the ball deep, 63 00:03:10,348 --> 00:03:13,188 Speaker 7: it's intercepted by Julian Love. It's hard to put your 64 00:03:13,388 --> 00:03:16,788 Speaker 7: finger on exactly what's going on with the passing game. 65 00:03:17,028 --> 00:03:19,308 Speaker 7: But as you look at this team here in week fifteen, 66 00:03:19,348 --> 00:03:22,028 Speaker 7: and you switched to Matt Patricia as a defensive coordinator, 67 00:03:22,188 --> 00:03:25,468 Speaker 7: your quarterback after losing three straight games, has now questioned 68 00:03:25,468 --> 00:03:28,148 Speaker 7: a commitment of the football team. You gotta start to 69 00:03:28,188 --> 00:03:30,068 Speaker 7: wonder with this Philly team, they're in a storm and 70 00:03:30,108 --> 00:03:31,708 Speaker 7: are they going to be able to work their way 71 00:03:31,708 --> 00:03:32,188 Speaker 7: out of it. 72 00:03:32,428 --> 00:03:33,308 Speaker 3: Kyle brought up the. 73 00:03:33,228 --> 00:03:35,668 Speaker 7: Forty nine ers earlier losing three straight games in the 74 00:03:35,708 --> 00:03:37,748 Speaker 7: season and then being able to bounce back. They were 75 00:03:37,788 --> 00:03:40,148 Speaker 7: also dealing with injuries at that point of the season 76 00:03:40,188 --> 00:03:43,228 Speaker 7: and going through it. For this Eagles team, your guys 77 00:03:43,228 --> 00:03:45,548 Speaker 7: are for the most part out there. Slay'll be back soon, 78 00:03:45,628 --> 00:03:48,668 Speaker 7: had the new procedure, But there's nobody coming. 79 00:03:48,708 --> 00:03:50,428 Speaker 3: There's no help around the corner. 80 00:03:50,788 --> 00:03:53,188 Speaker 7: But what I will say is I remember in twenty eighteen, 81 00:03:53,228 --> 00:03:55,188 Speaker 7: I was playing for the New England Patriots. We lose 82 00:03:55,228 --> 00:03:57,268 Speaker 7: two games in a row with a chance to win 83 00:03:57,308 --> 00:03:59,588 Speaker 7: the division. We lose to the Pittsburgh Steelers, and we 84 00:03:59,668 --> 00:04:02,588 Speaker 7: lose to the Miami Dolphins on the Miami Miracle, and 85 00:04:02,628 --> 00:04:04,908 Speaker 7: it seemed like we were down and out. We finished 86 00:04:04,908 --> 00:04:07,068 Speaker 7: that season we beat the Jets and the Buffalo Bills, 87 00:04:07,068 --> 00:04:08,548 Speaker 7: And the way you will look at it is the 88 00:04:08,588 --> 00:04:11,748 Speaker 7: same way this Philadelphia Eagles schedule finishes up. Where you're 89 00:04:11,748 --> 00:04:13,748 Speaker 7: playing teams that don't have much to. 90 00:04:13,708 --> 00:04:14,268 Speaker 3: Play for them. 91 00:04:14,308 --> 00:04:16,428 Speaker 7: We got those wins and we got into the playoffs, 92 00:04:16,468 --> 00:04:18,828 Speaker 7: and then we got hot. For this Eagles team, it 93 00:04:18,908 --> 00:04:20,788 Speaker 7: is all doom and gloom right now. The sky is 94 00:04:20,868 --> 00:04:24,268 Speaker 7: completely falling. You're ten and four. You're not exactly where 95 00:04:24,308 --> 00:04:26,068 Speaker 7: you want to be. But you're ten and four. You 96 00:04:26,108 --> 00:04:28,028 Speaker 7: have a chance to still win your division if you 97 00:04:28,068 --> 00:04:31,228 Speaker 7: finish out this season Sean against three teams that you 98 00:04:31,308 --> 00:04:33,588 Speaker 7: should be able to beat. And I say should because 99 00:04:33,628 --> 00:04:36,188 Speaker 7: when you've lost three short games, there's no guarantee that 100 00:04:36,228 --> 00:04:38,388 Speaker 7: you're gonna beat the Giants at home and then beat 101 00:04:38,428 --> 00:04:40,988 Speaker 7: Arizona and the Giants again. But if they can finish 102 00:04:41,068 --> 00:04:44,108 Speaker 7: strong and get some type of rhythm going because I 103 00:04:44,108 --> 00:04:46,708 Speaker 7: did say the defense looked better last night, you got 104 00:04:46,708 --> 00:04:48,308 Speaker 7: to be able to finish a game. But they have 105 00:04:48,388 --> 00:04:50,908 Speaker 7: to figure out what's going on with Jaellen Hurt. Seventeen 106 00:04:51,268 --> 00:04:54,068 Speaker 7: giveaways this season after just eight last year. 107 00:04:54,108 --> 00:04:54,908 Speaker 3: That's not gonna cut it. 108 00:04:54,948 --> 00:04:56,868 Speaker 6: They give up ninety two yards in the final two 109 00:04:56,868 --> 00:04:58,668 Speaker 6: minutes to Drew Locke this season. 110 00:04:59,028 --> 00:04:59,748 Speaker 3: With the home. 111 00:04:59,628 --> 00:05:03,108 Speaker 6: Field in the line, the nfcast title line, you make 112 00:05:03,188 --> 00:05:07,988 Speaker 6: a decision, as rash or as brash I shouldn't say rash. 113 00:05:08,028 --> 00:05:09,468 Speaker 6: I'm sure there was a lot of months in the 114 00:05:09,508 --> 00:05:11,428 Speaker 6: making of and they know what they got with Sean Desai. 115 00:05:11,508 --> 00:05:13,468 Speaker 6: When you make a decision like we're a ten and 116 00:05:13,548 --> 00:05:15,668 Speaker 6: three division leading team and we're going to remove our 117 00:05:15,668 --> 00:05:20,388 Speaker 6: defensive coordinator, that defense better deliver a better show signs 118 00:05:20,388 --> 00:05:20,988 Speaker 6: of improvement. 119 00:05:21,028 --> 00:05:21,228 Speaker 2: There. 120 00:05:22,468 --> 00:05:25,188 Speaker 6: They give up four different third and tens last night. 121 00:05:26,068 --> 00:05:29,588 Speaker 6: Brad Berry was cooked by Metcalf multiple times. Bradberry's a 122 00:05:29,668 --> 00:05:32,948 Speaker 6: highly paid defensive back on this team. 123 00:05:33,348 --> 00:05:34,588 Speaker 3: Four different third. 124 00:05:34,388 --> 00:05:37,308 Speaker 6: And ten conversions for Drew Lock in the Seattle Seahawks. 125 00:05:37,308 --> 00:05:39,548 Speaker 6: I sound like I'm being really patronizing and condescending to 126 00:05:39,628 --> 00:05:39,988 Speaker 6: Drew Lock. 127 00:05:40,068 --> 00:05:41,548 Speaker 3: I'm not. It's just that he hasn't. 128 00:05:41,268 --> 00:05:43,708 Speaker 6: Started a game all season, and he wasn't their quarterback 129 00:05:43,788 --> 00:05:45,668 Speaker 6: last year for two years, been waiting on the bench. 130 00:05:45,788 --> 00:05:48,228 Speaker 3: And he comes in and he gashes this Eagles defense. 131 00:05:48,468 --> 00:05:50,988 Speaker 3: You can't have it happen. You can't and when a 132 00:05:51,028 --> 00:05:52,668 Speaker 3: team needed in most yes, the. 133 00:05:52,628 --> 00:05:55,108 Speaker 6: Defense looked improved in the second and third quarter. The 134 00:05:55,148 --> 00:05:58,308 Speaker 6: defense was invisible in this drive. You know they talk 135 00:05:58,348 --> 00:06:00,948 Speaker 6: about the pass rush and how important the pass rush is, 136 00:06:01,028 --> 00:06:03,788 Speaker 6: and you know last year it was everybody and it 137 00:06:03,828 --> 00:06:07,148 Speaker 6: was Reddick off the edge. Pass rush was invisible last 138 00:06:07,188 --> 00:06:09,028 Speaker 6: night in the second half and in the fourth quarter. 139 00:06:09,428 --> 00:06:12,028 Speaker 6: I'd love to give Jalen Carter the defensive Rookie of 140 00:06:12,068 --> 00:06:13,948 Speaker 6: the Year award. And I'd love to say that you 141 00:06:13,988 --> 00:06:16,348 Speaker 6: know this guy, you know house On Reddick is still 142 00:06:16,348 --> 00:06:17,548 Speaker 6: the best pass rusher. 143 00:06:17,268 --> 00:06:20,028 Speaker 3: In the division and all that stuff. There wasn't that 144 00:06:20,068 --> 00:06:21,228 Speaker 3: pass rush when they needed it. 145 00:06:21,268 --> 00:06:24,868 Speaker 6: So the Matt Patricia decision is such a bold decision 146 00:06:24,908 --> 00:06:27,068 Speaker 6: to make for a team this late in the season, 147 00:06:27,428 --> 00:06:29,748 Speaker 6: for a team that is this good, when you're a 148 00:06:29,828 --> 00:06:31,828 Speaker 6: tended that you can't. 149 00:06:31,708 --> 00:06:34,468 Speaker 3: Give up ninety two yards in two minutes. This is 150 00:06:34,548 --> 00:06:35,028 Speaker 3: this is a shame. 151 00:06:35,188 --> 00:06:37,148 Speaker 6: They put Sean Desaie up in the box. The cameras 152 00:06:37,148 --> 00:06:39,908 Speaker 6: are showing him. It's like, yeah, he's on special projects. 153 00:06:39,908 --> 00:06:42,108 Speaker 6: Now what's his title? I have no idea, Like just 154 00:06:43,108 --> 00:06:44,868 Speaker 6: maybe Sean Decade didn't need a camera in. 155 00:06:44,828 --> 00:06:46,908 Speaker 3: His face the night after you saved Old Peter. 156 00:06:46,908 --> 00:06:48,388 Speaker 1: I also would say, desperate did. 157 00:06:48,388 --> 00:06:49,388 Speaker 6: It sound feel. 158 00:06:50,348 --> 00:06:52,148 Speaker 7: This late in the season where you've watched the defense 159 00:06:52,188 --> 00:06:52,988 Speaker 7: the last few weeks? 160 00:06:53,828 --> 00:06:54,188 Speaker 3: Desperate? 161 00:06:54,188 --> 00:06:56,708 Speaker 7: And even for Matt Patricia, like you think about it. 162 00:06:56,788 --> 00:06:59,508 Speaker 7: Last year you're with the Patriots, and you're actually coach offense. 163 00:06:59,748 --> 00:07:01,788 Speaker 7: Now here it is week fifteen in the season. You're 164 00:07:01,828 --> 00:07:04,868 Speaker 7: actually come become the defensive coordinator for a defense that 165 00:07:04,948 --> 00:07:05,708 Speaker 7: you didn't install. 166 00:07:05,828 --> 00:07:07,708 Speaker 3: So for him is not doing him any favors. 167 00:07:07,788 --> 00:07:10,428 Speaker 6: Remember last year they had Jonathan Gannon and they brought 168 00:07:10,468 --> 00:07:12,828 Speaker 6: in Fangio like that Super Bowl and it was like 169 00:07:13,428 --> 00:07:16,068 Speaker 6: Rick Fangio is gonna be the Jonathan Gannon gets the 170 00:07:16,108 --> 00:07:17,988 Speaker 6: job at the Cardinals, does the pew pew pew, and 171 00:07:17,988 --> 00:07:18,708 Speaker 6: everyone mocks him. 172 00:07:18,708 --> 00:07:20,388 Speaker 3: It says, oh, what a clown. They can use. 173 00:07:20,308 --> 00:07:23,308 Speaker 6: Jonathan Gannon right now, Jonathan Gannon's defense plays every week. 174 00:07:24,308 --> 00:07:27,308 Speaker 6: I'll just say this, the Eagles, it it does feel 175 00:07:27,308 --> 00:07:28,508 Speaker 6: like it's desperation time. 176 00:07:28,628 --> 00:07:30,308 Speaker 3: I've got for like we all live in this there. 177 00:07:30,348 --> 00:07:31,068 Speaker 3: I've got guy like my. 178 00:07:31,028 --> 00:07:34,268 Speaker 6: Buddy Tony, Colin Larry, all my buddies who are Eagles 179 00:07:34,268 --> 00:07:37,508 Speaker 6: fans are freaking out. You'll know what your team is. 180 00:07:37,508 --> 00:07:39,788 Speaker 6: You got the Giants twice, yeah, and the Cardinals. You'll 181 00:07:39,788 --> 00:07:41,308 Speaker 6: know by the time the playoffs started for you belong 182 00:07:41,388 --> 00:07:43,708 Speaker 6: or not. But right now it certainly is teetering the 183 00:07:43,708 --> 00:07:44,148 Speaker 6: wrong way. 184 00:07:44,228 --> 00:07:46,748 Speaker 1: Of course, gannon Ian, how about stiching. Yeah, I'm a 185 00:07:46,748 --> 00:07:48,708 Speaker 1: Colts look right now, Yeah, they look good. That's a 186 00:07:48,708 --> 00:07:51,348 Speaker 1: big loss. I think what's frustrating for Eagles fans is 187 00:07:51,988 --> 00:07:55,548 Speaker 1: there's not, like the stock reason why you're losing. Oh, 188 00:07:55,588 --> 00:07:57,748 Speaker 1: we got riddled with injuries, we don't have this guy, 189 00:07:57,788 --> 00:08:00,148 Speaker 1: we don't have that guy. You got guys like you 190 00:08:00,268 --> 00:08:03,948 Speaker 1: have all the guys. You just can't win. And honestly, 191 00:08:04,148 --> 00:08:07,668 Speaker 1: like success is a cruel bastard. It's very difficult, and 192 00:08:07,708 --> 00:08:09,828 Speaker 1: there's a reason you lose the super Bowl and don't 193 00:08:09,828 --> 00:08:15,268 Speaker 1: go back historically for me, honestly, like you've enjoyed you're singing, 194 00:08:15,708 --> 00:08:20,268 Speaker 1: and you're podcasting, and you're sexiest manning, and you're I'm 195 00:08:20,348 --> 00:08:24,028 Speaker 1: always on Twitter clowning about something and you've earned that stuff. 196 00:08:24,108 --> 00:08:26,508 Speaker 3: I'm dead serious. Like those are the spoils of success. 197 00:08:26,828 --> 00:08:28,788 Speaker 1: And you get money and you get opportunities and you 198 00:08:28,828 --> 00:08:31,548 Speaker 1: get people clicking on you, but your team isn't good anymore. 199 00:08:31,588 --> 00:08:34,668 Speaker 1: So now it looks ridiculous, it really does. I want 200 00:08:34,708 --> 00:08:36,988 Speaker 1: to just get back to kicking ass and blocking and 201 00:08:37,068 --> 00:08:39,468 Speaker 1: tackling and like the stuff that you guys used to do, 202 00:08:39,708 --> 00:08:43,188 Speaker 1: which is the reason you have singing opportunities and sexiest 203 00:08:43,228 --> 00:08:44,588 Speaker 1: manny like it starts with that. 204 00:08:44,588 --> 00:08:47,188 Speaker 3: That's the foundation. That stuff's gone. And when the other 205 00:08:47,228 --> 00:08:48,028 Speaker 3: stuff is there and. 206 00:08:47,988 --> 00:08:49,788 Speaker 1: You can't block any when you can't tackle anyone, you 207 00:08:49,828 --> 00:08:51,708 Speaker 1: look like clowns and you've lose three in a row. 208 00:08:51,748 --> 00:08:56,228 Speaker 1: It's terrible. Jalen Hurts probably the coolest guy in the league. 209 00:08:56,228 --> 00:08:58,108 Speaker 1: If I were to do a cool power ranking of 210 00:08:58,188 --> 00:09:00,388 Speaker 1: just how he carries himself and how he speaks and 211 00:09:00,388 --> 00:09:01,668 Speaker 1: how he plays like, I don't know if there's a 212 00:09:01,668 --> 00:09:04,268 Speaker 1: cooler guy in the league. He's not playing well at all. 213 00:09:04,748 --> 00:09:07,668 Speaker 1: And that's one thing like he doesn't usually he doesn't 214 00:09:07,708 --> 00:09:12,068 Speaker 1: ever misspeak. He doesn't go to the press conference and 215 00:09:12,108 --> 00:09:15,148 Speaker 1: say something that blows people's hair back or raises people's eyebrows. 216 00:09:15,228 --> 00:09:17,548 Speaker 1: That was not good for the quarterback of the league 217 00:09:17,588 --> 00:09:20,228 Speaker 1: to make his check and have his prestige to talk 218 00:09:20,268 --> 00:09:23,388 Speaker 1: about the word commitments and questioning the guys who have it, 219 00:09:23,428 --> 00:09:24,428 Speaker 1: including himself. 220 00:09:24,868 --> 00:09:26,148 Speaker 3: That's a rare misstep. 221 00:09:26,228 --> 00:09:29,348 Speaker 1: Like that's a pick six at the podium. He's not 222 00:09:29,388 --> 00:09:32,028 Speaker 1: playing well there, he's not playing well here. So you 223 00:09:32,108 --> 00:09:34,028 Speaker 1: got a few weeks, like Jason said, you don't have 224 00:09:34,028 --> 00:09:37,068 Speaker 1: the playoffs tomorrow. You got all the players, you have, 225 00:09:37,228 --> 00:09:38,988 Speaker 1: the coach, you think you are going to bring in 226 00:09:38,988 --> 00:09:41,628 Speaker 1: a super Bowl, can you just like shut the bleep 227 00:09:41,748 --> 00:09:45,468 Speaker 1: up and get up and ball out and just wake 228 00:09:45,628 --> 00:09:50,588 Speaker 1: up because they're asleep right now. They're flat, they're helpless. 229 00:09:50,748 --> 00:09:52,988 Speaker 1: They just look like nothing like I recognized from a 230 00:09:53,028 --> 00:09:54,788 Speaker 1: month ago. And I think it starts with the number 231 00:09:54,828 --> 00:09:57,428 Speaker 1: one quarterback who right now I don't recognize. 232 00:09:57,548 --> 00:10:00,348 Speaker 4: So, having been assigned to the Colton Steelers game last week, 233 00:10:00,428 --> 00:10:03,028 Speaker 4: production meeting with Gardner Minshew went as follow as we 234 00:10:03,068 --> 00:10:04,668 Speaker 4: asked him what are some things that he want learned 235 00:10:04,668 --> 00:10:06,908 Speaker 4: about his time in Philadelphia with Jalen Hurts, and he 236 00:10:06,948 --> 00:10:10,388 Speaker 4: answered the question that guy is as cool of a 237 00:10:10,388 --> 00:10:12,868 Speaker 4: competitor as I have ever been around. And he doesn't 238 00:10:12,988 --> 00:10:14,748 Speaker 4: use the term cool the way you are, which is 239 00:10:14,788 --> 00:10:18,268 Speaker 4: wildly applicable. It was about when faced with adversity, when 240 00:10:18,308 --> 00:10:21,428 Speaker 4: faced with issues in a locker room and amongst a team, 241 00:10:21,788 --> 00:10:23,748 Speaker 4: you cannot find a better leader. He learned a lot 242 00:10:23,788 --> 00:10:26,628 Speaker 4: about Gardnerannshoe, the veteran from Jalen about how to be 243 00:10:26,748 --> 00:10:29,428 Speaker 4: an impeccable leader. And now we're seeing Jalen Hurts with 244 00:10:29,468 --> 00:10:32,548 Speaker 4: his backup against the wall, answering questions using words like commitment, 245 00:10:32,588 --> 00:10:34,948 Speaker 4: but then doesn't want to put the definition on what 246 00:10:34,988 --> 00:10:38,068 Speaker 4: commitment means. Really interesting headline, I thought from the Philadelphia 247 00:10:38,068 --> 00:10:41,748 Speaker 4: Inquirer this morning, did Nick Sirianni rearrange the wrong set 248 00:10:41,788 --> 00:10:45,428 Speaker 4: of deck chairs after offense flutters and loss to the Seahawks. 249 00:10:45,468 --> 00:10:46,628 Speaker 3: Seattle doesn't have a good defense. 250 00:10:46,668 --> 00:10:49,068 Speaker 4: They're like a bottom four defensive team in. 251 00:10:48,988 --> 00:10:51,468 Speaker 3: The NFL that Witherspoon without Jamal Adams lest Y. 252 00:10:51,508 --> 00:10:54,068 Speaker 4: Exactly, and so we're all focused on I can't believe 253 00:10:54,068 --> 00:10:58,068 Speaker 4: these changes didn't take defensively, Matt Patricia, what's the offense doing? 254 00:10:58,148 --> 00:10:59,708 Speaker 3: I mean, it's the joke used to be. 255 00:10:59,788 --> 00:11:01,708 Speaker 4: I can't believe those Eagles lost to the Jets. I 256 00:11:01,708 --> 00:11:03,588 Speaker 4: can't believe the Eagles have lost three straight and the 257 00:11:03,668 --> 00:11:07,428 Speaker 4: nature in which they lost those games as well. Mike Herafollo, 258 00:11:07,508 --> 00:11:10,588 Speaker 4: good morning to you. Still a lot to unpack. We 259 00:11:10,628 --> 00:11:12,428 Speaker 4: know you know the Philadelphi market as well. We know 260 00:11:12,468 --> 00:11:14,548 Speaker 4: you could get in on this conversation. But where would 261 00:11:14,548 --> 00:11:15,668 Speaker 4: you like to take us this morning? 262 00:11:16,148 --> 00:11:17,348 Speaker 8: To the injury round up? 263 00:11:17,428 --> 00:11:17,828 Speaker 2: Jamie? 264 00:11:18,188 --> 00:11:19,548 Speaker 8: Because we're short on time, we've got to get to 265 00:11:19,588 --> 00:11:21,668 Speaker 8: these injuries. So let's go right to Jamar Chase, the 266 00:11:21,708 --> 00:11:24,508 Speaker 8: Bengals wide receiver we told you the other day that 267 00:11:24,548 --> 00:11:27,548 Speaker 8: he had an ac joint sprain sometimes called the separation. 268 00:11:27,628 --> 00:11:30,548 Speaker 8: It's the same injury. It's an injury to that shoulder 269 00:11:30,588 --> 00:11:32,428 Speaker 8: that he suffered in that game. 270 00:11:32,268 --> 00:11:33,188 Speaker 3: Against the Vikings. 271 00:11:33,508 --> 00:11:36,588 Speaker 8: And Ian Rappaport reporting that he's going to miss some 272 00:11:36,628 --> 00:11:40,028 Speaker 8: time here because these ac joint injuries, and Zach Taylor 273 00:11:40,068 --> 00:11:41,828 Speaker 8: did refer to Chase as day to day. Sometimes you 274 00:11:41,828 --> 00:11:44,188 Speaker 8: can play through it if you get an injection to 275 00:11:44,308 --> 00:11:46,788 Speaker 8: numb the pain, but it seems like it's an uphill 276 00:11:46,828 --> 00:11:48,988 Speaker 8: battle for Chase to play against the Steelers on Saturday. 277 00:11:49,068 --> 00:11:51,468 Speaker 8: Bengals are not going to rule him out and see 278 00:11:51,468 --> 00:11:53,948 Speaker 8: how he does as the week goes on, but as 279 00:11:53,988 --> 00:11:55,868 Speaker 8: of right now, it looks like Chase might wind up 280 00:11:55,868 --> 00:11:57,588 Speaker 8: missing some time after getting that MRI. 281 00:11:58,108 --> 00:12:00,628 Speaker 3: On Monday, Trevor Lawrence. 282 00:12:00,308 --> 00:12:04,548 Speaker 8: The Jaguars quarterback who suffered a concussion late in the 283 00:12:04,588 --> 00:12:07,188 Speaker 8: game against the Ravens, entered the protocol after taking a 284 00:12:07,268 --> 00:12:11,508 Speaker 8: hit on one of those scrambles against Baltimore, Doug Peterson saying, 285 00:12:11,548 --> 00:12:13,428 Speaker 8: I can't predict head injuries. None of us can really 286 00:12:13,428 --> 00:12:15,588 Speaker 8: predict head injuries. So we're just gonna have to see 287 00:12:15,588 --> 00:12:18,468 Speaker 8: how Lawrence develops. Throughout the week. If he can clear 288 00:12:18,548 --> 00:12:21,588 Speaker 8: protocol in time to start against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, 289 00:12:22,068 --> 00:12:24,468 Speaker 8: we shall see what happens with Lawrence. When the Jaguars 290 00:12:24,468 --> 00:12:27,988 Speaker 8: returned to the field on Wednesday, Isaiah Pacheco, the Chiefs 291 00:12:28,068 --> 00:12:31,348 Speaker 8: running back he had that shoulder cleanup, recently missed the 292 00:12:31,428 --> 00:12:34,388 Speaker 8: last two games. Andy Reid saying that Pachecko is good 293 00:12:34,428 --> 00:12:36,908 Speaker 8: to go this week, so the expectation is that the 294 00:12:36,988 --> 00:12:40,228 Speaker 8: Chiefs will get their physical runner back for the Christmas 295 00:12:40,268 --> 00:12:44,788 Speaker 8: Day game against the Raiders. Yes, Christmas Day when a 296 00:12:45,108 --> 00:12:48,308 Speaker 8: big old jolly guy in red with legendary facial hair 297 00:12:48,588 --> 00:12:52,508 Speaker 8: shows up. Also Santa Claus as well, say that's an Andy. 298 00:12:52,268 --> 00:12:57,708 Speaker 4: Reid Joe good contigure return in time to be getting 299 00:12:57,708 --> 00:13:04,668 Speaker 4: angry runs nom very good, great job, sugar plums dancing a. 300 00:13:04,668 --> 00:13:11,148 Speaker 3: Bowl full of jelly. Welcome back to the show. Three 301 00:13:11,188 --> 00:13:11,828 Speaker 3: time Super. 302 00:13:11,668 --> 00:13:14,788 Speaker 6: Bowl champion, our NFL network front office analysts, let's welcome 303 00:13:14,828 --> 00:13:17,188 Speaker 6: back onto the program, mister Scott Pioli. 304 00:13:18,948 --> 00:13:20,468 Speaker 3: Good morning everyone, Good morning. 305 00:13:22,348 --> 00:13:25,748 Speaker 6: The Eagles made a big move this week, going to 306 00:13:25,788 --> 00:13:28,068 Speaker 6: a guy that you know pretty well, Matt Patricia, handing 307 00:13:28,108 --> 00:13:31,548 Speaker 6: him over defensive play calling duties. Buckanickman were trying to 308 00:13:31,548 --> 00:13:34,588 Speaker 6: cipher through it. Well, still decide it's listed offensive coordinator, 309 00:13:34,588 --> 00:13:38,548 Speaker 6: but it's Matt Patricia's defense. That's a late season move 310 00:13:38,628 --> 00:13:40,908 Speaker 6: for a team that is rolling and going to the 311 00:13:40,908 --> 00:13:42,388 Speaker 6: playoffs regardless of their record. 312 00:13:42,468 --> 00:13:45,068 Speaker 3: Right now, what is your view on the decision? 313 00:13:45,108 --> 00:13:47,508 Speaker 6: And do you see that's panic or a team that's 314 00:13:47,508 --> 00:13:50,228 Speaker 6: trying to just get right before the January season begins. 315 00:13:51,948 --> 00:13:53,468 Speaker 9: You know, Peter, I tell you you know, I worked 316 00:13:53,468 --> 00:13:55,628 Speaker 9: with Nick Sirianni too, and I don't see him as 317 00:13:55,668 --> 00:13:59,388 Speaker 9: a person who is much about panic. However, I think 318 00:13:59,388 --> 00:14:01,228 Speaker 9: they're right on the cusp of that. All of you 319 00:14:01,308 --> 00:14:04,628 Speaker 9: this morning been using words about teetering on the edge 320 00:14:04,628 --> 00:14:06,948 Speaker 9: of desperate, about it being a bold move. Yes, it 321 00:14:07,028 --> 00:14:09,788 Speaker 9: was all of those things. But I think they are 322 00:14:09,868 --> 00:14:13,508 Speaker 9: right on that edge that's very dangerous right now. Now, 323 00:14:13,588 --> 00:14:15,588 Speaker 9: Nick came out and said exactly what he felt. The 324 00:14:15,628 --> 00:14:18,628 Speaker 9: defense wasn't performing well enough. He wasn't happy with it, 325 00:14:18,628 --> 00:14:21,548 Speaker 9: it wasn't good enough, so he made a change. And 326 00:14:21,588 --> 00:14:25,068 Speaker 9: in certain organizations they see things like this as if 327 00:14:25,068 --> 00:14:29,388 Speaker 9: a player's not performing, a player gets benched, or sometimes 328 00:14:29,388 --> 00:14:32,308 Speaker 9: a player gets the cut. Now, Sean Decaih hasn't been cut, 329 00:14:32,788 --> 00:14:35,788 Speaker 9: he has been benched. It's a very awkward dynamic. It 330 00:14:35,828 --> 00:14:38,988 Speaker 9: makes things uncomfortable in the office. But Jason, you know this, 331 00:14:39,068 --> 00:14:41,788 Speaker 9: if you are a good organization and you do things 332 00:14:41,828 --> 00:14:44,628 Speaker 9: well when there's pressure like this, yeah, there's things that 333 00:14:44,708 --> 00:14:47,828 Speaker 9: affect you inside internally, But what you have to do 334 00:14:48,348 --> 00:14:51,308 Speaker 9: is take it silo it make sure that you stay 335 00:14:51,868 --> 00:14:53,708 Speaker 9: in control of the things that you control and. 336 00:14:53,668 --> 00:14:54,228 Speaker 3: Do your job. 337 00:14:54,428 --> 00:14:57,028 Speaker 9: But right now, the way that the Eagles season is 338 00:14:57,068 --> 00:14:59,628 Speaker 9: going and the way that they're reacting emotionally certain things, 339 00:14:59,948 --> 00:15:02,028 Speaker 9: there is a definite need for concern. 340 00:15:04,588 --> 00:15:06,828 Speaker 1: While with the Bills, Scott, it's never boring, is it's 341 00:15:07,028 --> 00:15:10,908 Speaker 1: It's always something including now they've been through a very interesting, 342 00:15:10,988 --> 00:15:14,268 Speaker 1: unusual last few weeks, and yet while their record isn't great, 343 00:15:14,348 --> 00:15:16,548 Speaker 1: they look like they might be a top three team 344 00:15:16,588 --> 00:15:19,068 Speaker 1: in the NFL right now as we sit here. What 345 00:15:19,148 --> 00:15:21,228 Speaker 1: do you seeing from the Buffalo Bills, the team, the 346 00:15:21,348 --> 00:15:23,708 Speaker 1: organization right now as they're trying to get into the playoffs. 347 00:15:24,748 --> 00:15:26,548 Speaker 9: You know, Kyle, I think what I see is a 348 00:15:26,588 --> 00:15:29,068 Speaker 9: team that's done a real good job to steady the ship. 349 00:15:29,188 --> 00:15:31,268 Speaker 9: You know, there's been a lot of issues and stuff 350 00:15:31,268 --> 00:15:34,228 Speaker 9: that's come up and made Sean McDermott's job very difficult, 351 00:15:34,508 --> 00:15:36,468 Speaker 9: and this is where the partnership comes into play. I 352 00:15:36,468 --> 00:15:40,588 Speaker 9: think Brandon Bean had to show confidence in Sean in 353 00:15:40,668 --> 00:15:43,548 Speaker 9: their partnership. Sean, you know, during moments like this and 354 00:15:43,588 --> 00:15:46,148 Speaker 9: the team is struggling and there's all the outside noise, 355 00:15:46,468 --> 00:15:50,308 Speaker 9: what you need sometimes more than anything, is a good, reliable, 356 00:15:50,468 --> 00:15:53,748 Speaker 9: trusting partner. So right now, what I've actually watched is 357 00:15:53,788 --> 00:15:56,468 Speaker 9: not only is the team playing well, but watching how 358 00:15:57,028 --> 00:15:59,388 Speaker 9: Sean and Brandon Bean have done a great job of 359 00:15:59,428 --> 00:16:02,948 Speaker 9: staying together, keeping themselves in check because they know there's 360 00:16:02,988 --> 00:16:05,788 Speaker 9: a bigger goal and if they stableiz the ship, they 361 00:16:05,788 --> 00:16:10,068 Speaker 9: can move forward. And again, sometimes those leadership roles, we 362 00:16:10,108 --> 00:16:11,988 Speaker 9: don't know that half of what's coming across their desk 363 00:16:12,028 --> 00:16:14,468 Speaker 9: and how difficult the day is. And sometimes all you 364 00:16:14,548 --> 00:16:17,388 Speaker 9: need is someone to talk to that understands it's like 365 00:16:17,468 --> 00:16:19,748 Speaker 9: a marriage, and then you can stay the ship and 366 00:16:19,788 --> 00:16:22,068 Speaker 9: hopefully move towards new seas. 367 00:16:23,348 --> 00:16:23,468 Speaker 2: Well. 368 00:16:23,508 --> 00:16:25,828 Speaker 4: What's been interesting, Scott about this season in the NFL 369 00:16:25,908 --> 00:16:29,228 Speaker 4: is we've virtually seen any team is untouchable. Everyone has 370 00:16:29,268 --> 00:16:31,508 Speaker 4: faltered at some point. The Eagles are now losers of 371 00:16:31,548 --> 00:16:34,468 Speaker 4: three straights. Cowboys got thumped in Buffalo. You just mentioned 372 00:16:34,868 --> 00:16:36,748 Speaker 4: get the forty nine ers. They got their ship going 373 00:16:36,748 --> 00:16:39,748 Speaker 4: in the right direction back in late October. They're dominant 374 00:16:39,828 --> 00:16:42,268 Speaker 4: right now. If any team in the NFC wants to 375 00:16:42,268 --> 00:16:44,308 Speaker 4: go get a Super Bowl is most likely going to 376 00:16:44,348 --> 00:16:47,188 Speaker 4: have to go through San Francisco. Try and help through 377 00:16:47,268 --> 00:16:49,388 Speaker 4: us of the NFC. How do you beat the San 378 00:16:49,428 --> 00:16:50,988 Speaker 4: Francisco forty nine ers. 379 00:16:51,508 --> 00:16:54,028 Speaker 9: I gotta tell you, Jamie, right now, while they are healthy, 380 00:16:54,148 --> 00:16:57,468 Speaker 9: it's nearly impossible. They are so good right now on 381 00:16:57,588 --> 00:17:00,828 Speaker 9: offense and defense, as we've seen and you mentioned, when 382 00:17:00,828 --> 00:17:03,468 Speaker 9: they are healthy, they're nearly. 383 00:17:02,748 --> 00:17:03,668 Speaker 3: Impossible to stop. 384 00:17:03,908 --> 00:17:06,828 Speaker 9: You look at a team that's this dominant offensively, you 385 00:17:06,868 --> 00:17:08,508 Speaker 9: want to take away what their best weapon is. The 386 00:17:08,548 --> 00:17:11,748 Speaker 9: problem is, these guys have way too many weapons. They're 387 00:17:11,868 --> 00:17:15,628 Speaker 9: very reminiscent of the two thousand and four Indianapolis Colts. 388 00:17:15,668 --> 00:17:18,388 Speaker 9: When the Colts had a fifteen hundred yard rusher, they 389 00:17:18,428 --> 00:17:21,268 Speaker 9: had Edgar I mean, Marvin Harrison, Reggie Wayne, and Brandon 390 00:17:21,308 --> 00:17:25,228 Speaker 9: Stokely all had over a thousand yards receiving. Peyton Manning 391 00:17:25,308 --> 00:17:28,028 Speaker 9: was the MVP. That's exactly what this team is on 392 00:17:28,108 --> 00:17:30,028 Speaker 9: pace to do. They would be only the second team 393 00:17:30,068 --> 00:17:32,588 Speaker 9: in NFL history to do it, and in our minds 394 00:17:32,588 --> 00:17:34,388 Speaker 9: when we were the Patriots and we were trying to 395 00:17:34,388 --> 00:17:35,908 Speaker 9: stop them, there was two things. 396 00:17:35,948 --> 00:17:37,388 Speaker 3: You got as physical. 397 00:17:36,948 --> 00:17:38,988 Speaker 9: As you could get at the line of scrimmage on 398 00:17:39,108 --> 00:17:42,588 Speaker 9: the skilled players. But Kyle makes that nearly impossible because 399 00:17:42,628 --> 00:17:45,228 Speaker 9: of all the movement, this shift the motion. But the 400 00:17:45,268 --> 00:17:48,348 Speaker 9: other thing that you do is sometimes your offense needs 401 00:17:48,348 --> 00:17:50,908 Speaker 9: to be your best defense. We saw that similarly with 402 00:17:50,988 --> 00:17:54,108 Speaker 9: the Buffalo Bills this past weekend when they kept the 403 00:17:54,148 --> 00:17:56,468 Speaker 9: ball away from the Cowboys offense. They could never get 404 00:17:56,548 --> 00:17:59,468 Speaker 9: in rhythm and do anything. So if you can dominate 405 00:17:59,708 --> 00:18:02,908 Speaker 9: time of possession and run the ball, that's going to 406 00:18:02,948 --> 00:18:06,148 Speaker 9: be your only chance against the San Francisco forty nine ers. 407 00:18:06,148 --> 00:18:09,588 Speaker 7: I think it's so much fun watching the forty nine 408 00:18:09,628 --> 00:18:11,388 Speaker 7: Ers and all of these teams down the stretch of 409 00:18:11,388 --> 00:18:14,508 Speaker 7: the season, players stepping up, and it's the executives that 410 00:18:14,548 --> 00:18:17,188 Speaker 7: bring these guys on board to do so. On Scott, 411 00:18:17,228 --> 00:18:19,468 Speaker 7: you have an article out right now or you give 412 00:18:19,508 --> 00:18:22,548 Speaker 7: your top five candidates or executive of the year. Who 413 00:18:22,588 --> 00:18:23,908 Speaker 7: are some of the names that we can see on 414 00:18:23,948 --> 00:18:25,148 Speaker 7: the list possibly. 415 00:18:26,268 --> 00:18:26,708 Speaker 3: Now, Jason. 416 00:18:26,748 --> 00:18:29,268 Speaker 9: First of all, it's interesting because when you look at 417 00:18:29,268 --> 00:18:32,988 Speaker 9: some of these people and Nick Cassario, Eric DeCosta, Chris Greer, 418 00:18:33,068 --> 00:18:36,068 Speaker 9: Brad Holmes, and Howard Roseman. Sometimes the work that you 419 00:18:36,148 --> 00:18:38,388 Speaker 9: do as an executive or as a front office because 420 00:18:38,428 --> 00:18:40,788 Speaker 9: really that's what this War Award is about. It's not 421 00:18:40,868 --> 00:18:43,468 Speaker 9: just about an individual, it's the front office. They don't 422 00:18:43,468 --> 00:18:47,988 Speaker 9: always manifest themselves immediately. Sometimes it's a year and then 423 00:18:48,028 --> 00:18:50,908 Speaker 9: the players start to ascend and the things come together. 424 00:18:51,188 --> 00:18:52,748 Speaker 9: But you look at certain people in season. 425 00:18:52,748 --> 00:18:55,188 Speaker 3: You look at Nick Cassario right now, he's. 426 00:18:55,028 --> 00:18:57,188 Speaker 9: Had a big splash with his top two draft picks 427 00:18:57,268 --> 00:19:00,548 Speaker 9: that has put him in the hunt securing Laramie Tunsel, 428 00:19:00,588 --> 00:19:03,148 Speaker 9: making sure that the team and the roster is set. 429 00:19:03,388 --> 00:19:05,148 Speaker 9: You look at a guy like Brad Holmes, who had 430 00:19:05,188 --> 00:19:07,708 Speaker 9: not only a terrific draft this year, but he's done 431 00:19:07,708 --> 00:19:09,428 Speaker 9: it the last couple of years that is starting to 432 00:19:09,468 --> 00:19:12,828 Speaker 9: manifest itself into a team that is making a run. 433 00:19:12,908 --> 00:19:17,468 Speaker 9: He's had a consistent, consistent job of having steady personnel mows. 434 00:19:17,548 --> 00:19:19,788 Speaker 9: Then you look at a guy again, they think about 435 00:19:19,948 --> 00:19:25,828 Speaker 9: Eric DaCosta. Honestly, Eric Dacrossta absolutely crushed it this offseason 436 00:19:26,068 --> 00:19:30,468 Speaker 9: with under the radar, low level short term veteran contracts 437 00:19:30,468 --> 00:19:32,588 Speaker 9: to help build this team. So I hope everyone gets 438 00:19:32,588 --> 00:19:34,268 Speaker 9: a chance to read the articles. It's a little bit 439 00:19:34,268 --> 00:19:38,068 Speaker 9: of insight into how teams are built similarly but also 440 00:19:38,148 --> 00:19:40,108 Speaker 9: differently and can all be successful. 441 00:19:43,348 --> 00:19:44,388 Speaker 3: All Right, our next. 442 00:19:44,188 --> 00:19:46,948 Speaker 7: Guest as a leader both on and off the field. 443 00:19:46,988 --> 00:19:49,908 Speaker 7: He's a playmaker and a life change. Please give a 444 00:19:49,948 --> 00:19:53,148 Speaker 7: warm welcome to the Browns twenty twenty three Walter Payton 445 00:19:53,508 --> 00:19:55,548 Speaker 7: Man of the Year nominee Anthony Walker. 446 00:19:55,628 --> 00:20:01,268 Speaker 2: Joe appreciate.

And you've done some amazing work 454 00:20:19,068 --> 00:20:20,748 Speaker 7: as a network ambassador for the. 455 00:20:20,708 --> 00:20:22,948 Speaker 3: Brown State in the Game program. 456 00:20:23,068 --> 00:20:24,988 Speaker 7: Can you tell us more about the work you've done 457 00:20:25,188 --> 00:20:27,628 Speaker 7: and about the program and everything that you're passionate about 458 00:20:27,628 --> 00:20:28,228 Speaker 7: off the field. 459 00:20:29,028 --> 00:20:33,068 Speaker 10: Yeah, obviously, you know, being being an NFL player is great, 460 00:20:33,348 --> 00:20:37,468 Speaker 10: great opportunity, you know, to represent you know who I 461 00:20:37,508 --> 00:20:39,828 Speaker 10: am where I'm from and all that stuff on the field, 462 00:20:39,828 --> 00:20:43,228 Speaker 10: but definitely off the field, you know, being you know, 463 00:20:43,268 --> 00:20:45,268 Speaker 10: like I said, just being that light off the field. 464 00:20:45,588 --> 00:20:48,588 Speaker 10: My dad being huge in education and education playing a 465 00:20:48,668 --> 00:20:51,788 Speaker 10: huge part and my development as a young man and 466 00:20:51,828 --> 00:20:53,148 Speaker 10: you know, my growth as a person. 467 00:20:53,748 --> 00:20:55,148 Speaker 2: I want to be able to give that back. 468 00:20:55,268 --> 00:20:58,748 Speaker 10: So whether that's here in my community in Cleveland or 469 00:20:58,828 --> 00:21:01,468 Speaker 10: back home in Miami, you know, I try to do 470 00:21:01,668 --> 00:21:05,628 Speaker 10: my part as far as getting the youth the tools 471 00:21:05,628 --> 00:21:08,308 Speaker 10: and resources that they need stay in the game.

Let's get things 593 00:26:15,948 --> 00:26:20,628 Speaker 6: started right here. We're starting out with number five, Brown's 594 00:26:20,708 --> 00:26:23,348 Speaker 6: cornerback Cameron Mitchell. 595 00:26:24,468 --> 00:26:27,788 Speaker 3: Who's Cameron Mitchell. Well, it's fourth and two. 596 00:26:28,148 --> 00:26:31,988 Speaker 6: Game on the line, a potential playoff seed in the works, 597 00:26:32,668 --> 00:26:35,388 Speaker 6: and here is Cameron Mitchell, a rookie at of Northwestern 598 00:26:35,828 --> 00:26:39,308 Speaker 6: with the play arguably this season for the Cleveland Browns. 599 00:26:39,348 --> 00:26:39,908 Speaker 3: Take a listen. 600 00:26:40,508 --> 00:26:44,348 Speaker 4: We're gonna go four on fourth and one play fake fields, 601 00:26:44,588 --> 00:26:45,388 Speaker 4: gonna run. 602 00:26:45,508 --> 00:26:48,908 Speaker 3: And he dives forward. Oh, I don't know.

It 606 00:27:00,028 --> 00:27:00,828 Speaker 3: saves the game. 607 00:27:00,908 --> 00:27:04,068 Speaker 6: They end up going off to win, with the Njoku touchdown, 608 00:27:04,108 --> 00:27:07,868 Speaker 6: of course, being the key play. Cameron Mitchell a midth 609 00:27:07,948 --> 00:27:10,948 Speaker 6: round pick out of Northwestern second year guy. Both he 610 00:27:10,988 --> 00:27:15,068 Speaker 6: and Greg Newsom are both Northwestern corners playing for the 611 00:27:15,068 --> 00:27:18,148 Speaker 6: Cleveland Browns, and both of these guys have been excellent 612 00:27:18,228 --> 00:27:21,548 Speaker 6: for the team. Cameron Mitchell, we love seeing it. The 613 00:27:21,628 --> 00:27:24,108 Speaker 6: rook makes the big play. Let's get to the next 614 00:27:24,108 --> 00:27:28,428 Speaker 6: one here. Number four. How about Chiefs wide receiver Rashi Rice. 615 00:27:28,548 --> 00:27:31,028 Speaker 6: Just keeping off the critics for a second. Hans wide 616 00:27:31,068 --> 00:27:34,228 Speaker 6: receiver's room had another big game for Kansas City. 617 00:27:34,268 --> 00:27:37,308 Speaker 3: He is truly their number one wide receiver. 618 00:27:37,388 --> 00:27:39,668 Speaker 6: And that one there, that's actually a touchdown pass from 619 00:27:39,748 --> 00:27:43,668 Speaker 6: Jeric McKinnon. If you see this, Sorry, sorry Mahomes fantasy owners, 620 00:27:43,668 --> 00:27:44,988 Speaker 6: that one didn't go to you. That one went to 621 00:27:45,068 --> 00:27:48,868 Speaker 6: Jerk Rashi Rice. Another big performance in a big game 622 00:27:48,908 --> 00:27:51,988 Speaker 6: that they needed. You know, the Chiefs are coming to 623 00:27:51,988 --> 00:27:54,028 Speaker 6: this game loss a two straight three to the last four. 624 00:27:54,348 --> 00:27:56,868 Speaker 6: They get the win in this one. Look at Rache 625 00:27:56,908 --> 00:28:01,748 Speaker 6: Rice for the season. Here seven receiving touchdowns. Okay, thirty 626 00:28:01,788 --> 00:28:02,548 Speaker 6: two catches. 627 00:28:02,628 --> 00:28:05,348 Speaker 3: But here's what I wanted to show, most. 628 00:28:05,188 --> 00:28:09,988 Speaker 6: Yards after the catch. All right, this is it. It's 629 00:28:10,028 --> 00:28:12,708 Speaker 6: Tyreek and Rashi Rice. I said thirty two catches. What 630 00:28:12,748 --> 00:28:15,308 Speaker 6: I want to say is thirty two catches. I'm just 631 00:28:15,468 --> 00:28:18,028 Speaker 6: thirty eight targets in the last four games. 632 00:28:18,068 --> 00:28:19,908 Speaker 3: He's averaging eight catches a game. 633 00:28:20,148 --> 00:28:22,228 Speaker 6: But he's also not one of these guys who is 634 00:28:22,308 --> 00:28:24,548 Speaker 6: dropping the ball and hold is losing faith in No, 635 00:28:24,708 --> 00:28:28,028 Speaker 6: he's going to thirty eight targets in the last four games. 636 00:28:28,268 --> 00:28:32,028 Speaker 6: Rashi Rice second most yards after the catch, the Yak 637 00:28:32,148 --> 00:28:33,628 Speaker 6: King of Kansas City. 638 00:28:33,788 --> 00:28:36,108 Speaker 3: We love to see it. Chiefs wide receivers. 639 00:28:36,148 --> 00:28:38,068 Speaker 6: They have been a big talking bout on this show. 640 00:28:38,228 --> 00:28:40,908 Speaker 6: Here's one who is actually stepping up. Second round pick 641 00:28:40,908 --> 00:28:43,908 Speaker 6: out a SMU. Speaking of wide receivers, we don't often 642 00:28:43,948 --> 00:28:48,148 Speaker 6: put players that lost on this list, but Jordan Addison 643 00:28:48,628 --> 00:28:51,828 Speaker 6: did nothing wrong on Saturday. Jason mccordy was on the 644 00:28:51,828 --> 00:28:56,028 Speaker 6: call in this game. Jordan Addison was everywhere for Minnesota. 645 00:28:56,228 --> 00:28:58,788 Speaker 6: Jordan Addison in this game, you go through the numbers, 646 00:28:59,028 --> 00:29:01,788 Speaker 6: he was that dude for Minnesota Vikings. 647 00:29:01,868 --> 00:29:03,668 Speaker 3: Yes, Justin Jefferson was on the field. 648 00:29:04,508 --> 00:29:09,308 Speaker 6: Targets, six receptions, five first downs, one hundred and eleven 649 00:29:09,388 --> 00:29:13,268 Speaker 6: receiving yards, and oh yeah, two touchdowns.

If you remember, he was Justin's brother, 668 00:29:58,028 --> 00:29:59,228 Speaker 6: Like he was there, so it makes sense. 669 00:29:59,228 --> 00:30:00,828 Speaker 3: We're good.

He's our 674 00:30:13,788 --> 00:30:15,868 Speaker 3: number two. This is like it was like two years ago. 675 00:30:16,108 --> 00:30:18,508 Speaker 6: But Aidan O'Connell had his best game as a pro 676 00:30:18,628 --> 00:30:19,668 Speaker 6: on Thursday night. 677 00:30:20,068 --> 00:30:22,908 Speaker 3: Was all over the field.

Aiden threw the four different ones. 681 00:30:33,148 --> 00:30:36,908 Speaker 6: Antonio Pierce in term coach Aidan O'Connell rookie quarterback, I 682 00:30:36,948 --> 00:30:39,548 Speaker 6: don't know what does Antonio Pierce have to say about 683 00:30:39,628 --> 00:30:40,548 Speaker 6: Aiden O'Connell. 684 00:30:40,588 --> 00:30:41,148 Speaker 3: Take a listen. 685 00:30:42,828 --> 00:30:45,108 Speaker 11: Aiden is a rookie. When I was a rookie and 686 00:30:45,148 --> 00:30:47,708 Speaker 11: I played, I made mistakes. I had ugly games and 687 00:30:47,748 --> 00:30:49,508 Speaker 11: it's hard to play the position he plays. He's gonna 688 00:30:49,508 --> 00:30:51,108 Speaker 11: have rough days and he had a rough daid office 689 00:30:51,188 --> 00:30:53,308 Speaker 11: last week. But you know what he did on Monday, 690 00:30:53,868 --> 00:30:55,348 Speaker 11: he was the first one in the building.

He stayed 693 00:30:59,428 --> 00:31:00,868 Speaker 11: there all day until you got it right. So he 694 00:31:00,868 --> 00:31:03,868 Speaker 11: had a great opportunity, no different than me, and he's 695 00:31:03,868 --> 00:31:06,988 Speaker 11: taking advantag jump and tonight he's on the winning side. 696 00:31:08,748 --> 00:31:11,388 Speaker 3: I love it because there's there's a symmetry there. Here's 697 00:31:11,388 --> 00:31:14,228 Speaker 3: Antonio Pierce kind of fighting for his job making. He's 698 00:31:14,268 --> 00:31:17,508 Speaker 3: a O'Connell, a three rookie fighting for a spot. Also, 699 00:31:17,708 --> 00:31:18,508 Speaker 3: who knows next. 700 00:31:18,428 --> 00:31:20,908 Speaker 6: Year what the Raiders do at quarterback and O'Connell putting 701 00:31:20,908 --> 00:31:23,708 Speaker 6: his name on things, and yet the number one rookie 702 00:31:23,788 --> 00:31:26,308 Speaker 6: of the one come on, And I know Jackson Smith 703 00:31:26,348 --> 00:31:29,348 Speaker 6: and Jake mahind a good performance.
