Case you missed it last night, 15 00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:49,160 Speaker 1: you didn't miss anything. It was the Cleveland Browns over 16 00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:52,280 Speaker 1: the New York Giants. We'll recap that. What it means 17 00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:55,360 Speaker 1: coming up, Drew Brees came back, didn't play well. The 18 00:00:55,400 --> 00:01:03,080 Speaker 1: Patriots are out of the playoffs. Steelers Bengals tonight. Yeah, Yeah, Alabama, 19 00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:07,920 Speaker 1: Notre Dame, Clemson, Ohio State. Oh, you have Texas A 20 00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:11,200 Speaker 1: and m Ocloma Florida Cincinnati on the outside looking in. 21 00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:16,360 Speaker 1: We'll dive into that topic as well. Someday, when Jets 22 00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:19,360 Speaker 1: fans are watching Trevor Lawrence throw touchdown passes for the 23 00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:22,760 Speaker 1: Jacksonville Jaguars, they're going to look back to December twentieth 24 00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:27,279 Speaker 1: of twenty twenty and wonder what could have been. Yep, 25 00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:33,280 Speaker 1: I'm starting that way. I know I didn't. I didn't. 26 00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:37,400 Speaker 1: I tried to ease into it. I couldn't. December twentieth, 27 00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:41,680 Speaker 1: twenty twenty. Well, with the winless season and the number 28 00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:44,800 Speaker 1: one pick on the line, the Jets did the Jetsian thing, 29 00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:49,120 Speaker 1: the unthinkable. They won, and they beat the Rams in 30 00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:52,760 Speaker 1: Los Angeles, and now it looks like they have the 31 00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:55,840 Speaker 1: number two pick. Now we're making assumptions here. The Jacks 32 00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:59,080 Speaker 1: could presumably win one of their last two games. They 33 00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:02,040 Speaker 1: host the Bears and they visit Indie. And we don't 34 00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:04,600 Speaker 1: know for sure that Trevor Lawrence is going to be 35 00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:07,720 Speaker 1: a ten time All Pro Clemson quarterback looks like he'd 36 00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:11,160 Speaker 1: be maybe a nine time All Pro, not a ten time, 37 00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:13,680 Speaker 1: but at least a nine time All Pro. But there's 38 00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:15,880 Speaker 1: things that could happen. Who would have thought the Jets 39 00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:19,520 Speaker 1: could beat the Rams in Los Angeles. It's a sad 40 00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:22,680 Speaker 1: day in New York. Jets fans had their hearts set 41 00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:26,480 Speaker 1: on being number one, at being the worst in the NFL. 42 00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:31,120 Speaker 1: Once again, the team let him down. They weren't quite 43 00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:34,679 Speaker 1: as bad as we thought, or something like that. Either way, 44 00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:38,640 Speaker 1: it's tough to be a Jets fan today. But maybe 45 00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:42,360 Speaker 1: they'll turn it around one of these days. Maybe maybe. 46 00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:46,600 Speaker 1: But watching yesterday, I kept thinking, Sam Darnold is playing 47 00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:49,880 Speaker 1: for his job, Sam Darnold. If he wins and they 48 00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:53,240 Speaker 1: might win another game, Sam Darnold might still be the 49 00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:57,040 Speaker 1: quarterback of the Jets. Adam Gase is not going to 50 00:02:57,160 --> 00:03:00,000 Speaker 1: keep his job. Can't imagine that happening. But Sam Darnold, 51 00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:03,480 Speaker 1: Sam Darlas probably thinking, Hey, I don't care if they 52 00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:05,920 Speaker 1: get Trevor Lawrence or not. I don't want them to 53 00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:09,520 Speaker 1: get Trevor Lawrence. And by the way, Justin Fields, you 54 00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:11,720 Speaker 1: know we keep talking about Ohio State with the eye test. 55 00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:15,960 Speaker 1: Ah man, my glasses aren't very strong because he hasn't 56 00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:19,120 Speaker 1: looked very good. Like the eye test, Justin Fields does 57 00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:21,239 Speaker 1: not looked good. So if you're saying, hey, you're not 58 00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:23,600 Speaker 1: gonna get Trevor Lawrence. But you're gonna get justin Fields. 59 00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:28,520 Speaker 1: I'd slow my role on that right now. But certainly 60 00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:31,760 Speaker 1: interesting football over the weekend. It wasn't as good a 61 00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:34,920 Speaker 1: weekend as I thought it was going to be because 62 00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:38,720 Speaker 1: I thought, Okay, you got college all these games, big games, 63 00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:43,520 Speaker 1: important games, had USC Oregon on Friday night, and then 64 00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:46,960 Speaker 1: you had NFL a couple of NFL games, and then Sunday, 65 00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:50,880 Speaker 1: and then I went, this wasn't a great weekend. I 66 00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:54,120 Speaker 1: thought the Cardinals and the Eagles was maybe the best 67 00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:58,360 Speaker 1: weekend game that I saw back and forth. Jalen Hurts, 68 00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:01,480 Speaker 1: Kyler Murray was a whole lot of fun that was 69 00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:06,600 Speaker 1: really really entertaining college football wise, all of a sudden, 70 00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:09,400 Speaker 1: you know, I think one, Northwestern doesn't have enough offense 71 00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:11,640 Speaker 1: to stay with Ohio State. They have enough defense, not 72 00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:13,880 Speaker 1: enough offense. And then all of a sudden, it's twenty 73 00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:16,680 Speaker 1: four three Clemson Notre Dame and I went, Okay, that's 74 00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:21,279 Speaker 1: not any good. And then Florida against Alabama. I was 75 00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:24,279 Speaker 1: wondering about this when the rankings came out, and I 76 00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:26,000 Speaker 1: know them all over the place, but this is the 77 00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:28,960 Speaker 1: way I was this weekend. If Florida didn't lose to 78 00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:35,080 Speaker 1: LSU and they went toe to toe with Alabama. Would 79 00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:40,160 Speaker 1: there have been any sympathy, any momentum for Florida to 80 00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:45,040 Speaker 1: make it into the Final four because they played really well. 81 00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:48,880 Speaker 1: I mean, they took Alabama as deep as you can 82 00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:53,520 Speaker 1: take Alabama. And I wonder about that that at LSU 83 00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:56,760 Speaker 1: loss coming back to haunt them. But I think we 84 00:04:56,880 --> 00:04:59,320 Speaker 1: got the final four. We thought we were going to get. 85 00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:01,600 Speaker 1: Whether you're lie it or not, we were going to 86 00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:04,080 Speaker 1: get this. I don't think they wanted A and M. 87 00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:07,159 Speaker 1: I thought, I like an A and M to somebody 88 00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:10,960 Speaker 1: leaves kittens on the doorstep, you always bring the kittens in. 89 00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:14,520 Speaker 1: They weren't letting an M or Cincinnati or anybody else 90 00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:16,800 Speaker 1: on the doorstep to get in. I mean I think 91 00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:20,920 Speaker 1: they did a drive by with an M and go yeah, okay, nice, yeah, okay, 92 00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:25,920 Speaker 1: SEC football eight wins. Yeah. They already had their talking 93 00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:28,520 Speaker 1: points ready to this is why Notre Dame gets in. 94 00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:31,000 Speaker 1: And I was like, we were looking at who had 95 00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:35,680 Speaker 1: a better loss, Notre Dame or A and M. Like 96 00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:39,279 Speaker 1: that's the logic we had. And I know I don't 97 00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:42,039 Speaker 1: like the way the setup is. I think the system 98 00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:44,920 Speaker 1: is rigged. I think it's top heavy. I think we 99 00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:48,039 Speaker 1: get the same teams in year after year after year. 100 00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:50,880 Speaker 1: And yes, you can make the argument they are the 101 00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:54,760 Speaker 1: best teams, but the system is rigged. At least let 102 00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:58,320 Speaker 1: the other schools know gets rigged. You're never getting in. 103 00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:01,200 Speaker 1: Don't get your hopes up. Hopefully you get to play 104 00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:05,240 Speaker 1: it in a nice bowl game. But Clemson looked wonderful. 105 00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:08,960 Speaker 1: Now they that defense looked great. Trevor Lawrence looked great, 106 00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:13,279 Speaker 1: and you know Notre Dame like, hey, you made it 107 00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:16,200 Speaker 1: into the final four. In your reward, you get Alabama. 108 00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:20,480 Speaker 1: Good luck with that. But Ohio State, Ohio State has 109 00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:24,680 Speaker 1: not played well. They played well enough, but they haven't 110 00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:27,840 Speaker 1: played well. I know they got a lot of players 111 00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:30,919 Speaker 1: that were out with COVID. Hopefully they get a healthy 112 00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:35,960 Speaker 1: or healthier a roster when they play Clemson because that 113 00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:38,840 Speaker 1: could be a fun game. But it feels like they're 114 00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:42,480 Speaker 1: two great teams in college football, and that is Clemson 115 00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:45,479 Speaker 1: in Alabama. I don't think Notre Dame's great. I don't 116 00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:48,120 Speaker 1: think Ohio State's great. Doesn't mean they can't win these games. 117 00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:50,240 Speaker 1: I don't think they're great. I don't think Ay and 118 00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:53,279 Speaker 1: M is great, Florida's great, Cincinnati. I don't think any 119 00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:56,000 Speaker 1: of those teams are great with their two great teams, 120 00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:58,840 Speaker 1: and then there are some a couple of very good, 121 00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:01,840 Speaker 1: and then there's some good teams in college football this year. 122 00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:05,440 Speaker 1: But we'll dive into the topic coming up a little bit. 123 00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:08,520 Speaker 1: Eight seven seven three DP show email address DP at 124 00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:11,480 Speaker 1: dan Patrick dot com Twitter handle a DP show mclovin 125 00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:14,600 Speaker 1: has the honors of a poll question. Okay, do you 126 00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:17,200 Speaker 1: want to crowdsource your Heisman vote at all? Or do 127 00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:19,280 Speaker 1: you not want to be influenced by the Dan Patrick 128 00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:22,280 Speaker 1: Show crowd on who they think the Heisman winner should be. 129 00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:26,040 Speaker 1: I am voting today. I have not voted yet. I 130 00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:28,440 Speaker 1: have to have my ballot in by five o'clock today. 131 00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:30,400 Speaker 1: I'm not allowed to tell you who I'm voting for. 132 00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:34,000 Speaker 1: This changed I think the last two years where the 133 00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:39,720 Speaker 1: Heisman Trust said, don't you know, try to you know, 134 00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:42,880 Speaker 1: I guess lead people on or give somebody an indication 135 00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:45,600 Speaker 1: of who you're voting for, or people who haven't voted 136 00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:47,880 Speaker 1: and they may change their vote. I was told that, 137 00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:52,000 Speaker 1: you know, do not say anything. I've struggled with it, 138 00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:55,680 Speaker 1: but I struggle with it every year. Because I've looked 139 00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:59,840 Speaker 1: at Damante Smith and I think he's the difference with Alabama. 140 00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:03,120 Speaker 1: I think he's the one guy in college football that 141 00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:06,640 Speaker 1: there's no other player like him in college football and 142 00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:08,720 Speaker 1: he's playing for the number one team in the country. 143 00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:13,080 Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence three years, no Heisman, but I do think 144 00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:17,040 Speaker 1: he's the best quarterback in football. Mac Jones has done 145 00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:19,720 Speaker 1: everything you could ask for and then some you know, 146 00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:26,720 Speaker 1: coming in replacing Twa. There's other good stories around college football, 147 00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:29,600 Speaker 1: but those are you know, That's sort of where I 148 00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:32,199 Speaker 1: am with how am I putting these players in there. 149 00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:35,800 Speaker 1: Kyle Trask has played well, but if they had pulled 150 00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:38,840 Speaker 1: off the win against Alabama, he probably wins the Heisman. 151 00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:42,480 Speaker 1: But I'm trying to sort this out, you know, with 152 00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:45,840 Speaker 1: those three players right now. Yeah, PAULI would you have 153 00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:47,880 Speaker 1: a problem with I know it's a one year award, 154 00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:51,800 Speaker 1: but someone voting for Trevor Lawrence as a career achievement award, 155 00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:54,320 Speaker 1: especially with what you look at how their team looked 156 00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:57,880 Speaker 1: against Notre Dame earlier season compared to now, No, he didn't. No, 157 00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:00,400 Speaker 1: I wouldn't have a problem. I mean I get it. 158 00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:04,199 Speaker 1: I mean we look sometimes we vote the Academy Award. 159 00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:07,840 Speaker 1: Where you go. Man, it wasn't a great movie, but hey, 160 00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:09,720 Speaker 1: you haven't won before, so we're going to give it 161 00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:13,520 Speaker 1: to you. They've done that before. But you know, if 162 00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:16,480 Speaker 1: you want to give it to Trevor Lawrence, that's fine. 163 00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:21,400 Speaker 1: Mac Jones, that's fine. Davante Smith. Sure, but I do 164 00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:24,920 Speaker 1: think if you understand and he might not even be 165 00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:28,160 Speaker 1: the best receiver on his own team. I mean, that's 166 00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:31,360 Speaker 1: what's amazing about Alabama with what they've had in the 167 00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:34,640 Speaker 1: last couple of years. Yeah, I McLevin side topic. I'm 168 00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:37,959 Speaker 1: curious how the NFL views Mac Jones. I feel like 169 00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:41,560 Speaker 1: I was watching a guy in that game. I don't understand, Like, 170 00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:43,520 Speaker 1: if he can throw for all those yards and touchdowns 171 00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:45,000 Speaker 1: in college, why can't he do it in the proz 172 00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:46,959 Speaker 1: Did you never see him in the mock drafts? Well? 173 00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:49,480 Speaker 1: I did ask a source and I said, what is 174 00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:52,360 Speaker 1: the profile on mac Jones? And he's a scout and 175 00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:54,280 Speaker 1: he said, well, you know, until we get him in 176 00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:56,040 Speaker 1: front of us, we get to talk to him. We 177 00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:57,599 Speaker 1: want to know how smart you are in front of 178 00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:03,360 Speaker 1: the whiteboard. The INTANGI he goes initial reaction is he 179 00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:07,640 Speaker 1: can't make plays like he makes the play. He can't 180 00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:10,000 Speaker 1: if the play breaks down, he can't make a play. 181 00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:13,719 Speaker 1: He doesn't extend to play, and said, you know that 182 00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:17,800 Speaker 1: that's what we're looking for. Playbreaks down, Can you make 183 00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:20,760 Speaker 1: a play? Can you extend to play? And you know, 184 00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:23,240 Speaker 1: my source said, no, they don't see that with mac Jones. 185 00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:25,640 Speaker 1: Doesn't mean he can't play. But they said, there's a 186 00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:29,080 Speaker 1: big difference. If you said Trey Lance, Zach Wilson, the 187 00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:32,120 Speaker 1: ability to make a play when a play breaks down, 188 00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:36,400 Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence obviously justin fields as well. Yeah, Pauling, I 189 00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:38,120 Speaker 1: wonder if mac Jones is going to get the treatment 190 00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:40,760 Speaker 1: that Ajia McCarron got at Alabama six seven years ago. 191 00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:44,000 Speaker 1: Ajian McCarron's last two years at Alabama he had thirty touchdowns, 192 00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:47,400 Speaker 1: three picks, twenty eight touchdown seven picks. His numbers were fantastic, 193 00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:50,040 Speaker 1: but it didn't translate to the draft. Yeah. I just 194 00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:52,480 Speaker 1: think that he's the quarterback at Alabama, and you tend 195 00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:54,600 Speaker 1: to go, oh, yeah, he's the quarterback at Alabama. I mean, 196 00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:57,800 Speaker 1: you know, twa opened our eyes of the possibility of 197 00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:01,600 Speaker 1: opening up the offense there, putting up good numbers. Being 198 00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:05,400 Speaker 1: an athlete back there. I thought McCarron was underrated. I 199 00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:08,120 Speaker 1: really did. I thought that he was a tough kid 200 00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:11,520 Speaker 1: and made some big plays, wasn't afraid of the big moment. 201 00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:14,520 Speaker 1: But you know, mac Jones may be viewed the same way. 202 00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:16,680 Speaker 1: But I don't think he's a first round pick. But 203 00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:20,319 Speaker 1: that's only based off what the conversation I had on 204 00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:23,160 Speaker 1: Sunday afternoon with his source. Yeah, Nick Love And how 205 00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:26,040 Speaker 1: about that kid Naji Harris on Saturday to the running back? 206 00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:30,320 Speaker 1: We forgot about him in the Heisman race too. Yeah. 207 00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:35,360 Speaker 1: I think we look at him and we go, you know, ah, yeah, 208 00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:37,640 Speaker 1: he's good, and then you realize, you know, he accounted 209 00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:41,520 Speaker 1: for what five touchdowns there? But I don't know if 210 00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:45,599 Speaker 1: there's anything. I don't know what's special about him. You know, 211 00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:49,040 Speaker 1: because we've seen Alabama running backs. Josh Jacobs was great, 212 00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:51,600 Speaker 1: Trent Richardson was great at Alabama. You know, then you 213 00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:54,920 Speaker 1: have Derrick Henry, who is you know, a beast. You know, 214 00:11:55,040 --> 00:12:00,360 Speaker 1: he's a topic onto himself there, but you know, he ran, 215 00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:02,960 Speaker 1: he was He was probably the biggest difference in that 216 00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:06,360 Speaker 1: game against Florida, the way he played catching passes and 217 00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:08,640 Speaker 1: also running as well. All right, we'll come up with 218 00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:11,160 Speaker 1: a poll question here and your phone calls are welcome. 219 00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:16,920 Speaker 1: Here is Sam Darnold, the Jets quarterback, after yesterday's win. 220 00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:19,320 Speaker 1: I mean, it's the greatest feeling in sports, you know, 221 00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:21,600 Speaker 1: to be able to ice the game out and know 222 00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:24,280 Speaker 1: we had it. I mean, it's the best, you know 223 00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:26,800 Speaker 1: for you know, just that drive alone. You know, we 224 00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:30,120 Speaker 1: knew we couldn't give it back to him, and for 225 00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:32,360 Speaker 1: us to be able to execute when we really needed to, 226 00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:35,199 Speaker 1: I mean, that was obviously something we haven't done all year, 227 00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:41,319 Speaker 1: and you could see them getting confidence. It almost felt 228 00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:44,480 Speaker 1: like it was one of those uh Bodies swap movies 229 00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:49,520 Speaker 1: where the Jets in the Rams swapped uniforms because you're thinking, 230 00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:52,440 Speaker 1: all they're putting pressure on the quarterback and making big 231 00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:57,520 Speaker 1: plays third down converting, and then you realize that the 232 00:12:57,679 --> 00:13:00,600 Speaker 1: Rams are not who we thought they are, or were 233 00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:04,240 Speaker 1: certainly in that game. And Frank Gore, Frank Or I 234 00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:06,200 Speaker 1: think had twenty three carries. I don't even know if 235 00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:11,160 Speaker 1: he had sixty yards. But what happens is you run 236 00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:14,880 Speaker 1: the ball twenty three times. It's you're controlling the clock, 237 00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:18,480 Speaker 1: you're putting pressure on the defense, you're keeping the defense 238 00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:21,640 Speaker 1: out there, and Frank was able to do them. And 239 00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:23,480 Speaker 1: you know, you saw who they went to in the 240 00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:25,959 Speaker 1: last couple of plays. I think the last four or 241 00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:30,600 Speaker 1: five plays, it was all Frank Gore and truly an 242 00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:33,160 Speaker 1: amazing story that he's doing what he's doing at that 243 00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:36,960 Speaker 1: age and doesn't shy away from the moment. Sam Darnold 244 00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:39,680 Speaker 1: played well and the defense put a lot of pressure 245 00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:42,880 Speaker 1: on Jared Goff and just if you're a Rams fan, 246 00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:47,720 Speaker 1: you're going, wait, I thought we had moved pass games 247 00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:51,480 Speaker 1: like this because Jared Goff did not look well, not 248 00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:54,320 Speaker 1: in that fourth quarter. And I know it was close 249 00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:56,960 Speaker 1: and they could have won that game. The fact that 250 00:13:57,040 --> 00:13:59,079 Speaker 1: they were saying, boy, it was close and they could 251 00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:02,440 Speaker 1: have won that game. It shouldn't have been close, but 252 00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:06,320 Speaker 1: it was. And you know, there are moments there every 253 00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:09,240 Speaker 1: season where you go, how did that happen? Where somebody 254 00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:12,640 Speaker 1: loses or somebody wins. That was maybe the Rams moment, 255 00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:16,720 Speaker 1: but you know, Seattle one, Arizona one. The Rams have 256 00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:21,720 Speaker 1: to continue to win here. Yeah, Paul and the Jets 257 00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:24,680 Speaker 1: didn't have defensive coordinator Greg Williams to help him out 258 00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:26,560 Speaker 1: last second. They didn't have any move they didn't have 259 00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:29,720 Speaker 1: any guy who would be masochistic about it. Yeah, if 260 00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:32,800 Speaker 1: you know golf Golf had a like, you know, fourth 261 00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:35,160 Speaker 1: down in twenty two, and then they would have sent 262 00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:37,520 Speaker 1: the house there, then maybe the Rams could have won 263 00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:39,440 Speaker 1: that game, Yes, Todd, And the score was very misleading 264 00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:41,160 Speaker 1: because in the middle of the third quarter was twenty 265 00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:45,560 Speaker 1: to three Jets.

All right, so we settle on 272 00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:07,120 Speaker 1: a pole question, McLevin. We got Chris Simms joining us online. 273 00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:10,040 Speaker 1: I have a mean Jets question. Which was a worst 274 00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:13,720 Speaker 1: day for the Jets but fumble day or yesterday? Oh yesterday, 275 00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:18,920 Speaker 1: but a decade? No it only it only lasted for 276 00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:22,880 Speaker 1: Mark Sanchez. I feel like that's a face of the 277 00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:26,040 Speaker 1: Jets friends in the face the opposite of the Jets franchise. 278 00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:31,680 Speaker 1: It's the other end. Yeah, uh no, no, that that lasted. 279 00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:34,360 Speaker 1: I mean it's an embarrassment, but this is something that 280 00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:39,040 Speaker 1: could last a decade. Like this victory could last a 281 00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:43,320 Speaker 1: decade with Trevor Lawrence. If you don't get him, I 282 00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:48,160 Speaker 1: wonder I hes when when he joined us last week 283 00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:51,120 Speaker 1: he said he didn't watch. And you know, whoever takes me, 284 00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:53,040 Speaker 1: and you know, I'll make the best of the situation. 285 00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:57,359 Speaker 1: I have to believe his phone is blowing up yesterday 286 00:15:57,800 --> 00:16:00,600 Speaker 1: where he's looking at the Jets and they're beating the 287 00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:04,480 Speaker 1: Rams and then nervously pacing back and forth and back 288 00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:06,840 Speaker 1: and forth, and then says, I gotta go outside, I 289 00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:09,800 Speaker 1: gotta go do something, and then comes back and what score? 290 00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:14,800 Speaker 1: Whatch score? I'm gonna go back outside, and then texting 291 00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:17,920 Speaker 1: his fiance what score? What score? The Rams they just 292 00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:23,440 Speaker 1: took to? All holding penalty a Jacksonville getting blown out? Yes, yes, okay, 293 00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:26,680 Speaker 1: all right, well still chance I go to Jacksonville here 294 00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:30,480 Speaker 1: and then the Jets win like I would I would. 295 00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:34,680 Speaker 1: Do you guys believe that Trevor Lawrence had no idea 296 00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:38,880 Speaker 1: what was going on with the Jets yesterday. Any of 297 00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:41,920 Speaker 1: you think that Trevor Lawrence is going up. I didn't watch. 298 00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:46,120 Speaker 1: You know, I'm preparing for that next game against Ohio State. 299 00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:49,000 Speaker 1: You know, I look at some game film there. I 300 00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:51,880 Speaker 1: don't believe that for a second. Yes, Polly, I'm really 301 00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:54,200 Speaker 1: curious what he wants though, because he hasn't tipped his 302 00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:56,040 Speaker 1: hand at all on that, and they usually don't, and 303 00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:58,400 Speaker 1: once he gets drafted, you'll never know what he really wanted. 304 00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:00,000 Speaker 1: Did he want to go to Jacksonville? Did he want 305 00:16:59,960 --> 00:17:01,720 Speaker 1: to go to the Jets. The other thing that's fascinating 306 00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:04,120 Speaker 1: about him is usually guys who stay around three years, 307 00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:07,840 Speaker 1: there's always a dip. There's always a criticism or a 308 00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:10,160 Speaker 1: time where they cool offul of it. He hasn't at 309 00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:13,280 Speaker 1: all cooled off. There hasn't been you know, Peyton Manning 310 00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:15,880 Speaker 1: had way more criticism coming out of college than this kid. 311 00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:19,639 Speaker 1: Andrew Luck had more criticism while Luck making tackles and running. 312 00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:22,399 Speaker 1: I haven't heard any criticism of his game or honor 313 00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:26,880 Speaker 1: off the field. No, he's survived, and that's pretty amazing 314 00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:29,400 Speaker 1: given the hype, you know, from his freshman year on. 315 00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:33,200 Speaker 1: And you're right, you know, Peyton couldn't beat Florida. Oh, 316 00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:35,680 Speaker 1: he can't win the band game, Paul, Peyton's got happy 317 00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:38,000 Speaker 1: feet in the pocket. Like there were things that I 318 00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:41,760 Speaker 1: remember about him, and most of these quarterbacks have something 319 00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:46,280 Speaker 1: that's there if they stay that extra year. Peyton stayed 320 00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:50,560 Speaker 1: four years. Peyton didn't want to come out and play. 321 00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:52,439 Speaker 1: Who was going to take him the Jets? So Peyton 322 00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:55,639 Speaker 1: wanted to make sure that he didn't get drafted by 323 00:17:55,680 --> 00:18:00,480 Speaker 1: the Jets. And here's Trevor Lawrence who has he's done 324 00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:04,080 Speaker 1: everything that you want your quarterback to do, and he's 325 00:18:04,119 --> 00:18:06,520 Speaker 1: lived up to the hype. But I have to believe 326 00:18:06,560 --> 00:18:10,000 Speaker 1: he's got to be going. Just give me, give me 327 00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:13,200 Speaker 1: an update on the Jets. Maybe he doesn't watch, but man, 328 00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:15,680 Speaker 1: I would be if I knew that. And I don't 329 00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:18,040 Speaker 1: know if he wants to go to Jacksonville because he 330 00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:22,119 Speaker 1: stays in the South. You know, he talked about playing 331 00:18:22,119 --> 00:18:25,080 Speaker 1: in cold weather and not big on playing in cold weather, 332 00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:28,920 Speaker 1: and you know, maybe Jacksonville would be because it's a 333 00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:34,840 Speaker 1: smaller you know, fan base, franchise expectation level might be 334 00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:37,440 Speaker 1: a little bit more subtle. I mean, the Jets come 335 00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:41,120 Speaker 1: in and it's, hey, we're going to the playoffs, right, 336 00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:46,080 Speaker 1: there'll be some high expectations. You already see what Miami's doing. 337 00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:49,320 Speaker 1: They're going to the playoffs. Buffalo is obviously going to 338 00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:52,359 Speaker 1: the playoffs. The Patriots ball out, and the Jets feel like, 339 00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:56,320 Speaker 1: this is our opportunity. Hey, the windows open with the Patriots. 340 00:18:56,560 --> 00:19:01,080 Speaker 1: We can move past them. Yeahmi club. See. I think 341 00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:04,879 Speaker 1: Jacksonville now looks pretty fraught too, because they're so non competitive. 342 00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:09,560 Speaker 1: They feel dysfunctional. It almost feels like they're trying to 343 00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:12,639 Speaker 1: be dysfunctional. It almost feels like that that, hey, we 344 00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:16,520 Speaker 1: don't know who we're starting a quarterback here, and you're going, okay, yea, 345 00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:19,199 Speaker 1: hopefully you figured out by game time, yest time. But 346 00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:20,919 Speaker 1: isn't this what you want if you're Trevor Lawrence? The 347 00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:23,080 Speaker 1: grand stage to prove yourself. I know, you know you 348 00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:25,600 Speaker 1: can be such a hero if you turn the Jets around. 349 00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:28,000 Speaker 1: Why go to Clemson or a big school? You know, 350 00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:29,760 Speaker 1: if you don't want to have all the attention and 351 00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:31,840 Speaker 1: I have all the pressure and expectations on your he 352 00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:35,040 Speaker 1: could have gone to a smaller school for college. Well 353 00:19:35,080 --> 00:19:37,440 Speaker 1: why didn't he go to Vanderbilt if he really wanted 354 00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:40,120 Speaker 1: to go to a bad team and lift up their spirits? 355 00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:43,120 Speaker 1: I mean, he went to Clemson, where you're expected to 356 00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:45,639 Speaker 1: play for and probably win a national time. Yeah, but 357 00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:47,560 Speaker 1: you know, if you wanted to get ready for the 358 00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:50,400 Speaker 1: NFL and the Jets, you could have gone to Vandy. 359 00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:53,160 Speaker 1: All right, we'll take a break here twenty one after 360 00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:56,080 Speaker 1: the hour and we'll talk to Chris Simms on loan 361 00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:59,600 Speaker 1: from Pro Football Talk and Football Night in America.

I will get around to it. Stop 398 00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:07,560 Speaker 1: pressuring me. I got to talk about the Jets beating 399 00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:11,000 Speaker 1: the Rams here before we get to Chris Simms, here's 400 00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:14,760 Speaker 1: Sean McVay, the Rams head coach after yesterday's lost. This 401 00:22:14,840 --> 00:22:17,320 Speaker 1: loss will demoralize us only as much as we allow 402 00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:20,679 Speaker 1: it to. It's gonna be embarrassing, sick, tear stomach about it, 403 00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:22,879 Speaker 1: but we do have two games left in it, and 404 00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:24,840 Speaker 1: we've got to find a way to respond and rebound 405 00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:28,000 Speaker 1: on a short week. Let's bring in Chris Sims pro 406 00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:31,600 Speaker 1: football talk, of course, the former NFL quarterback. How do 407 00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:35,600 Speaker 1: you explain that, Chris? Well? Wait, first off, I mean 408 00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:38,159 Speaker 1: you left me some good candy there, all right? I 409 00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:39,560 Speaker 1: mean who are you going to vote for in the 410 00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:42,000 Speaker 1: high I'm not allowed. I'm not allowed to say it. 411 00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:44,359 Speaker 1: They don't want us to say it publicly. Or I 412 00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:47,239 Speaker 1: would tell you privately, but I'm not allowed to say 413 00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:49,800 Speaker 1: it publicly. All right? All right? Cool? I understand that 414 00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:51,679 Speaker 1: you can text me later. How would you vote for 415 00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:55,880 Speaker 1: for Trevor Lawrence? I would? I would? You know, he's 416 00:22:55,920 --> 00:22:58,159 Speaker 1: the best player in college football for my money, I 417 00:22:58,160 --> 00:23:02,120 Speaker 1: don't you know. Again, it's unfor seen circumstances. COVID nineteen. 418 00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:05,720 Speaker 1: All of that that shouldn't hinder him as far as 419 00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:09,280 Speaker 1: you know what the vote or what the award really 420 00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:11,119 Speaker 1: stands for. So I would go with Trevor. If you 421 00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:14,199 Speaker 1: were Trevor, would you rather go to the Jets or 422 00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:19,160 Speaker 1: the Jags? Oh, the Jaguars probably have a little bit 423 00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:22,040 Speaker 1: more in place as far as talent on the offensive 424 00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:24,159 Speaker 1: side of the ball and even some young talent on 425 00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:26,600 Speaker 1: the defensive side of the ball. You know, that to 426 00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:28,840 Speaker 1: me is going to be more of the decision of 427 00:23:29,359 --> 00:23:30,840 Speaker 1: do you want to live in the big lights of 428 00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:32,560 Speaker 1: New York or do you want to be kind of 429 00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:35,520 Speaker 1: under the radar in Jacksonville. What suits like the style 430 00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:39,919 Speaker 1: of life you want to live too, So, um, you know, ultimately, 431 00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:43,040 Speaker 1: I think probably at this point right now, the Jags 432 00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:45,359 Speaker 1: are set up a little bit better team wise than 433 00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:47,080 Speaker 1: the Jets, who have a lot of holes to fill. 434 00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:51,359 Speaker 1: But you also look at Eli Manning, doesn't seem like 435 00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:53,560 Speaker 1: the New York kind of guy. Your father, who played 436 00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:55,680 Speaker 1: for the Giants is not a New York kind of guy. 437 00:23:56,280 --> 00:23:59,600 Speaker 1: Joe Namoth, those days are long gone. Nameeth loved you 438 00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:03,320 Speaker 1: know the lights and Broadway, Joe, But you don't Sam 439 00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:06,040 Speaker 1: Darnold is not a you know, a bright lights New 440 00:24:06,119 --> 00:24:08,960 Speaker 1: York City kind of guy either. I think we get 441 00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:12,440 Speaker 1: I know, the pressure, the expectation level would be so 442 00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:15,360 Speaker 1: high if Trevor Lawrence goes to the Jets, it feels 443 00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:18,160 Speaker 1: like he would get a little bit more of an 444 00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:22,200 Speaker 1: easing in period in Jacksonville, I would agree. I mean, 445 00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:24,080 Speaker 1: you come up, you know, like you're talking about, you 446 00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:26,640 Speaker 1: come up to New York, the spotlights on you immediately. 447 00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:29,199 Speaker 1: And then of course it's going to be added on 448 00:24:29,280 --> 00:24:31,680 Speaker 1: to that is the fact that whoa, they got rid 449 00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:35,720 Speaker 1: of a top three quarterback pick to take on Trevor Lawrence. 450 00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:38,120 Speaker 1: So how does that guy do on his new team? 451 00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:40,080 Speaker 1: And that's going to add to the spotlight and just 452 00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:45,200 Speaker 1: the overall you know, attention around the whole scenario. But 453 00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:49,080 Speaker 1: but so your point with like my dad Eli Manning, 454 00:24:49,160 --> 00:24:52,520 Speaker 1: Sam Darnold, even you know, I think Trevor Lawrence has 455 00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:56,040 Speaker 1: that too, where yeah they're not like it just it's 456 00:24:56,080 --> 00:24:59,000 Speaker 1: even keel let's throw a touchdown, throwing an interception, You're 457 00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:01,320 Speaker 1: not really sure which one they did. It's the same 458 00:25:01,359 --> 00:25:03,200 Speaker 1: look on their face either way. And I think there 459 00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:05,800 Speaker 1: is something to that in the New York City area. 460 00:25:05,840 --> 00:25:08,520 Speaker 1: As far as balancing your life and all the you know, 461 00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:11,360 Speaker 1: the fans and all the attention around you at all times. Yeah, 462 00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:13,760 Speaker 1: it feels like it's the expectation level is going to 463 00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:16,800 Speaker 1: be so high because the Jets are so thirsty. The 464 00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:19,040 Speaker 1: Jags almost went to the Super Bowl a couple of 465 00:25:19,119 --> 00:25:22,359 Speaker 1: years ago. The Jets, you know, they get to watch 466 00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:25,080 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. But I also wondered about this yesterday 467 00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:27,600 Speaker 1: we got over the shock of the Jets beating the Rams. 468 00:25:28,320 --> 00:25:32,920 Speaker 1: If I'm the Rams, what did I expose yesterday that's 469 00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:35,119 Speaker 1: going to come back and haunt me? Or is this 470 00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:37,399 Speaker 1: just a one off that the Jets caught him at 471 00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:41,520 Speaker 1: the right time. But there are there bigger issues with 472 00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:44,680 Speaker 1: the Rams as we look past this Jets upset. I 473 00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:47,800 Speaker 1: think I said this to you two weeks ago when 474 00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:50,359 Speaker 1: I was on on a Monday where to me, there's 475 00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:52,760 Speaker 1: one big issue with the Rams football team, and it's 476 00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:55,120 Speaker 1: really about the only issue because they're really really well 477 00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:59,240 Speaker 1: rounded and just about every area. But there it was again, Dan, 478 00:25:59,520 --> 00:26:02,160 Speaker 1: just go back and look at the Rams schedule. Any 479 00:26:02,320 --> 00:26:06,720 Speaker 1: game their offense struggles, it's lack of run game and 480 00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:10,480 Speaker 1: then the bootleg passes aren't there, and just quite honestly, 481 00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:13,920 Speaker 1: you know, the drop back pass game as far as scheme, 482 00:26:14,359 --> 00:26:17,320 Speaker 1: and then Jared Goff in the drop back pass game 483 00:26:17,320 --> 00:26:20,320 Speaker 1: and his ability to do things that way pocket passer, 484 00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:24,080 Speaker 1: being a you know, surgical that way and making plays 485 00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:27,120 Speaker 1: off schedule. This is not the strength of the Rams. 486 00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:29,439 Speaker 1: So they got themselves in a hole and then they 487 00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:32,280 Speaker 1: couldn't run the ball, and the bootlegs were gone, and 488 00:26:32,359 --> 00:26:34,520 Speaker 1: it just all kind of funneled out of control from there. 489 00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:38,880 Speaker 1: Is there a Super Bowl contender in the NFC West? Yes, 490 00:26:39,119 --> 00:26:42,919 Speaker 1: I do believe that the I the Seahawks to me 491 00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:45,959 Speaker 1: or a Super Bowl contender. There's no doubt the Seahawks 492 00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:50,119 Speaker 1: have played better defense the last five or six weeks. 493 00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:52,800 Speaker 1: Really ever since they left Josh Allen and that loss 494 00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:55,360 Speaker 1: up in Buffalo, they've been better. You know, I think 495 00:26:55,359 --> 00:26:57,800 Speaker 1: you see, the run game has shown inklings of popping 496 00:26:57,880 --> 00:27:02,080 Speaker 1: up here. And in a year with no great defenses 497 00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:05,200 Speaker 1: in football, you know, this is why I took Seattle 498 00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:07,879 Speaker 1: versus Kansas City in the Super Bowl. Anyways, because of 499 00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:10,679 Speaker 1: the no off season, I thought the defenses would be handicapped. 500 00:27:11,320 --> 00:27:13,480 Speaker 1: I just think playoff football is gonna lend itself to 501 00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:15,720 Speaker 1: the great quarterbacks, kind of taking over in the big 502 00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:18,000 Speaker 1: moments with no crowd noise at all of that, with 503 00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:20,840 Speaker 1: no great defenses, and it's just gonna favor those kind 504 00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:23,879 Speaker 1: of guys. So, yes, Russell Wilson and the Seahawks Star contender, 505 00:27:23,920 --> 00:27:26,600 Speaker 1: were you a Josh Allen guy prior to the draft? 506 00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:29,000 Speaker 1: I didn't think you were. I was. He was my 507 00:27:29,080 --> 00:27:33,080 Speaker 1: number one quarterback that year. Really, I mean yeah, yeah, big, 508 00:27:33,119 --> 00:27:36,480 Speaker 1: big Josh Allen. I kind of Lamar is number one 509 00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:41,880 Speaker 1: and Josh Allen is two in my first rankings. And honestly, Dan, 510 00:27:42,359 --> 00:27:44,920 Speaker 1: I made a deal with myself. I backed off the 511 00:27:45,040 --> 00:27:48,760 Speaker 1: Lamar number one because I got so much crap from 512 00:27:48,760 --> 00:27:52,199 Speaker 1: my NFL friends. Man, Lamar number one, are you crazy? 513 00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:54,720 Speaker 1: I thought there was maybe something I didn't know that 514 00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:59,119 Speaker 1: maybe you know, there was some character issues or something 515 00:27:59,080 --> 00:28:02,040 Speaker 1: that that I got so trashed. I honestly backed off 516 00:28:02,119 --> 00:28:04,679 Speaker 1: Lamar a little bit and ultimately made Josh Allen my 517 00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:06,920 Speaker 1: number one guy. But yes, I was a huge Josh 518 00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:09,800 Speaker 1: Allen fan. If I said I got to take out 519 00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:13,320 Speaker 1: mahomes from the equation quarterbacks under the age of twenty seven, 520 00:28:13,359 --> 00:28:18,760 Speaker 1: that you would take over Josh Allen. Ooh ooh, man, 521 00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:21,359 Speaker 1: I don't to me that that And I'm just you know, 522 00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:23,920 Speaker 1: off the top of my head, I'm just going only 523 00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:26,720 Speaker 1: guy I'm thinking about really is him and Deshaun Watson. 524 00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:29,760 Speaker 1: Those are those are those guys I think that are 525 00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:32,480 Speaker 1: young right, that fit that mold. What you're talking about, 526 00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:35,520 Speaker 1: it's one of those two, I mean to me right 527 00:28:36,440 --> 00:28:40,640 Speaker 1: right now, Rogers, Mahomes, Russell Wilson. I know, in totality 528 00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:44,560 Speaker 1: of their careers, they're better than Josh Allen and Deshaun Watson. 529 00:28:44,920 --> 00:28:48,400 Speaker 1: But man, for twenty twenty football right now, Week fifteen, 530 00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:51,000 Speaker 1: I don't think you could say anybody's played better than 531 00:28:51,080 --> 00:28:53,560 Speaker 1: Josh Allen this year except for Rogers and Mahomes. And 532 00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:56,600 Speaker 1: you see, like you saw a Saturday night, he can 533 00:28:56,680 --> 00:28:59,320 Speaker 1: carry the team at certain moments, doesn't matter what has 534 00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:02,680 Speaker 1: to be done. And I remind people, you know that 535 00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:05,440 Speaker 1: that was the same Denver defense that wouldn't let the 536 00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:08,120 Speaker 1: Chiefs in the end zone five different times. And Josh 537 00:29:08,120 --> 00:29:10,240 Speaker 1: Allen got in the end zone. So he at least 538 00:29:10,280 --> 00:29:12,680 Speaker 1: deserves to be in that conversation. I'm not saying he's 539 00:29:12,680 --> 00:29:14,720 Speaker 1: there yet, but he's in that combo. We're talking to 540 00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:17,400 Speaker 1: Chris Sims, Pro Football Talk Live co host with Mike 541 00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:20,640 Speaker 1: Florio and of course, the former NFL quarterback. Let's look 542 00:29:20,640 --> 00:29:23,640 Speaker 1: at the Saints quarterbacking situation short term, long term here, 543 00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:27,520 Speaker 1: what do you think, Well, they got to go with 544 00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:29,920 Speaker 1: Drew Brees. Now, I mean he obviously was not at 545 00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:33,160 Speaker 1: one hundred percent yesterday. He didn't look comfortable. I mean 546 00:29:33,600 --> 00:29:35,840 Speaker 1: you watch it, you know, did he look comfortable at 547 00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:39,880 Speaker 1: any point during that game? Look jumpy in the pocket? Right, 548 00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:43,840 Speaker 1: didn't look like real decisive with decisions. There was a 549 00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:45,680 Speaker 1: lot of like, oh should I throw it there? Oh 550 00:29:45,760 --> 00:29:47,760 Speaker 1: should I throw it? And he didn't know what to 551 00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:50,200 Speaker 1: do with it. So they caught him on a rusty day, 552 00:29:50,560 --> 00:29:52,920 Speaker 1: you know, of course not hitting on all cylinders. But 553 00:29:53,840 --> 00:29:56,680 Speaker 1: he's still the guy going forward, no doubt. I just 554 00:29:56,720 --> 00:30:01,080 Speaker 1: hope they find the right balance of still letting the 555 00:30:01,120 --> 00:30:04,680 Speaker 1: Taysom Hill be a factor there, because without Drew Brees's 556 00:30:04,720 --> 00:30:08,120 Speaker 1: ability to really throw the ball down the field, I 557 00:30:08,160 --> 00:30:11,520 Speaker 1: think they need that Taysom Hill run game package to 558 00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:15,280 Speaker 1: just give them one other element to make defenses defend 559 00:30:15,320 --> 00:30:17,800 Speaker 1: the whole field when you play the Saints. I think 560 00:30:17,800 --> 00:30:21,160 Speaker 1: that they just can't lose sight of that. You look 561 00:30:21,160 --> 00:30:25,240 Speaker 1: at Kansas City. They do keep teams in games, whether 562 00:30:25,320 --> 00:30:27,920 Speaker 1: it's somebody really good like the Saints, or you know, 563 00:30:28,040 --> 00:30:31,200 Speaker 1: can be some of these other teams here. But they 564 00:30:31,280 --> 00:30:34,400 Speaker 1: seem to have an answer for everything. That's just it. 565 00:30:34,520 --> 00:30:36,440 Speaker 1: It's the person who makes straight a's. But you go, 566 00:30:36,520 --> 00:30:39,440 Speaker 1: how do they make straight a's because you're watching their 567 00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:42,480 Speaker 1: study habits and you go, I don't know. Now they 568 00:30:42,560 --> 00:30:47,800 Speaker 1: do it differently here, right, how dangerous? I mean, what's 569 00:30:47,840 --> 00:30:50,920 Speaker 1: the flaw there? I mean the flaw is that they're 570 00:30:50,920 --> 00:30:53,280 Speaker 1: just gonna play with fire here one of these days 571 00:30:53,320 --> 00:30:56,240 Speaker 1: and you know, the wrong bounce of the ball or 572 00:30:56,640 --> 00:30:58,280 Speaker 1: you know, and just it's gonna come down to that 573 00:30:58,360 --> 00:31:00,760 Speaker 1: one one play and they're not going to come through 574 00:31:00,760 --> 00:31:02,600 Speaker 1: in the clutch. And you go, man, they lost to 575 00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:05,160 Speaker 1: a team that they're better at, better than, and they 576 00:31:05,200 --> 00:31:08,040 Speaker 1: didn't close the game out or you know, they just 577 00:31:08,040 --> 00:31:10,720 Speaker 1: were asleep at the wheel because they were unmotivated. That's 578 00:31:10,760 --> 00:31:15,200 Speaker 1: the concern. But also, like you know yesterday, I think 579 00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:18,520 Speaker 1: it also again shows their versatility too. That's what's amazing. 580 00:31:18,520 --> 00:31:20,840 Speaker 1: Oh we're gonna run the ball, we're gonna play defense, 581 00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:23,280 Speaker 1: and you know we're gonna stop the run and make 582 00:31:23,360 --> 00:31:26,200 Speaker 1: Drew Brees beat us throwing the football. You know, Oh, 583 00:31:26,240 --> 00:31:29,080 Speaker 1: this average Chiefs defense. Yet when you ask them to 584 00:31:29,120 --> 00:31:32,120 Speaker 1: do something stop Derrick Henry in the AFC Championship game, 585 00:31:32,400 --> 00:31:34,800 Speaker 1: slow down the Shanahan run game in the Super Bowl, 586 00:31:35,240 --> 00:31:39,440 Speaker 1: they always rise to the occasion. So they're frustrating. I'm 587 00:31:39,480 --> 00:31:42,000 Speaker 1: with you, and we don't. I don't think we've seen 588 00:31:42,040 --> 00:31:44,680 Speaker 1: them see play a game the whole year. I think 589 00:31:44,680 --> 00:31:46,719 Speaker 1: they played a lot of B and B plus games 590 00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:49,840 Speaker 1: and they still win. And that's where they're I'm annoyed 591 00:31:49,880 --> 00:31:53,160 Speaker 1: by them. I'll say this though. Their offense needs to 592 00:31:53,200 --> 00:31:55,880 Speaker 1: be the one that closes these games out. That's where 593 00:31:55,920 --> 00:31:59,240 Speaker 1: they're built, and that's that's the unit that needs to 594 00:31:59,280 --> 00:32:01,240 Speaker 1: put some of these teams away as of late, and 595 00:32:01,280 --> 00:32:03,960 Speaker 1: we just haven't seen them do that. You sold on 596 00:32:04,080 --> 00:32:09,640 Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield, now I am. You know. I think I think, 597 00:32:09,920 --> 00:32:12,840 Speaker 1: like the last three four weeks, the way he's playing, 598 00:32:13,160 --> 00:32:17,960 Speaker 1: I think he's finally just comfortable in the Stefanski offense 599 00:32:18,600 --> 00:32:21,760 Speaker 1: what's being expected of him and Dan there's you know, 600 00:32:21,760 --> 00:32:26,200 Speaker 1: there's a language between quarterback and play caller that you know, 601 00:32:26,240 --> 00:32:28,920 Speaker 1: I actually heard even you know, Bruce arians talking about 602 00:32:28,920 --> 00:32:31,800 Speaker 1: this with Tom Brady yesterday. You know, they're they're speaking 603 00:32:31,840 --> 00:32:34,000 Speaker 1: to you with some of their play calls more than 604 00:32:34,040 --> 00:32:37,400 Speaker 1: just hey, this is the play call. But really, we're 605 00:32:37,440 --> 00:32:40,000 Speaker 1: an offense and an offensive coordinator getting on the same 606 00:32:40,040 --> 00:32:43,200 Speaker 1: page as Oh wait, he's calling this play on second 607 00:32:43,240 --> 00:32:46,920 Speaker 1: down because we talked about this ten days ago. He's 608 00:32:46,960 --> 00:32:49,360 Speaker 1: expecting me to look for the big shot play here, 609 00:32:49,560 --> 00:32:52,040 Speaker 1: and if I don't have it, throw it away. You know, 610 00:32:52,120 --> 00:32:54,720 Speaker 1: it's all those little nuances. I think that they're finally 611 00:32:54,760 --> 00:32:57,360 Speaker 1: getting together. And that's why you're seeing Baker just confident 612 00:32:57,360 --> 00:33:00,840 Speaker 1: and playing and playing awesome. And I see young quarterbacks 613 00:33:00,880 --> 00:33:04,000 Speaker 1: do this. And you played the position that I gotta 614 00:33:04,040 --> 00:33:07,240 Speaker 1: throw the ball away like it's hard. Your mentality is 615 00:33:07,280 --> 00:33:10,000 Speaker 1: never let me just throw it away. Your mentality is 616 00:33:10,040 --> 00:33:13,160 Speaker 1: to make a play. It must be difficult for some 617 00:33:13,240 --> 00:33:16,840 Speaker 1: of these younger quarterbacks to go, gosh, I gotta I 618 00:33:16,880 --> 00:33:20,520 Speaker 1: gotta just fall down, or I gotta throw it away right, 619 00:33:20,760 --> 00:33:23,400 Speaker 1: or throw the check down right. They're not used to that, 620 00:33:23,480 --> 00:33:26,000 Speaker 1: and I think that's where, you know, we got to 621 00:33:26,040 --> 00:33:27,960 Speaker 1: give Baker a lot of credit. Think about it. He 622 00:33:28,040 --> 00:33:30,960 Speaker 1: was he was at Oklahoma. It was throw, throw, throw, throw, throw, 623 00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:33,360 Speaker 1: throw it everywhere. And then he got with Hugh Jackson 624 00:33:33,400 --> 00:33:35,320 Speaker 1: and it was like, hey, awesome, let's throw it more. 625 00:33:35,400 --> 00:33:37,680 Speaker 1: You're the first pick of the draft. And then last 626 00:33:37,760 --> 00:33:39,840 Speaker 1: year they got Odell Beckham junior and they went, Hey, 627 00:33:39,880 --> 00:33:42,160 Speaker 1: let's throw it every play. Let's keep doing that. And 628 00:33:42,200 --> 00:33:43,960 Speaker 1: then all of a sudden this year they were like, hey, 629 00:33:43,960 --> 00:33:46,000 Speaker 1: whoa oh, we want you to hand the ball off 630 00:33:46,520 --> 00:33:49,840 Speaker 1: and play smart and control the football. So that is 631 00:33:49,840 --> 00:33:51,960 Speaker 1: an adjustment for a guy like that, and he's done 632 00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:54,520 Speaker 1: really great in handling that. And they've matured off the 633 00:33:54,560 --> 00:33:57,160 Speaker 1: field too. I think that's another aspect you see with 634 00:33:57,200 --> 00:33:59,800 Speaker 1: Cleveland that Stefanski's really brought to the team. I'll leave 635 00:33:59,840 --> 00:34:03,280 Speaker 1: you with this. I have three quarterbacks in their first 636 00:34:03,360 --> 00:34:09,200 Speaker 1: forty eight career starts, three current quarterbacks in their first 637 00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:12,840 Speaker 1: forty eight starts. These three quarterbacks went twenty eight and 638 00:34:12,960 --> 00:34:17,919 Speaker 1: twenty the exact same record. Are you ready for this? Yes, 639 00:34:18,480 --> 00:34:23,880 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers was twenty eight and twenty, Deshaun Watson twenty 640 00:34:23,880 --> 00:34:31,120 Speaker 1: eight and twenty, Mitchell Trubisky twenty eight and twenty. Yeah, 641 00:34:31,160 --> 00:34:35,759 Speaker 1: that's awesome, it's awesome. I'm happy for Mitchell Trubisky. That's 642 00:34:35,800 --> 00:34:40,200 Speaker 1: a misleading stat I'll say that much because two of 643 00:34:40,239 --> 00:34:41,920 Speaker 1: those guys were doing a lot of it. Do you 644 00:34:41,920 --> 00:34:45,719 Speaker 1: think he's happy that you're happy for him? Chris? Probably not. 645 00:34:45,960 --> 00:34:48,440 Speaker 1: He's probably like, oh, i've heard that guy saying negative 646 00:34:48,440 --> 00:34:51,680 Speaker 1: things about me before. Screw him too. But I think 647 00:34:51,680 --> 00:34:53,560 Speaker 1: that's the edge in which he's playing with. Like I 648 00:34:53,600 --> 00:34:56,439 Speaker 1: heard Matt Nagy in the postgame press conference that he's 649 00:34:56,480 --> 00:34:59,560 Speaker 1: a different man. Well, sometimes when you get benched and 650 00:34:59,600 --> 00:35:01,400 Speaker 1: you said over there and you go, man, I was 651 00:35:01,480 --> 00:35:04,560 Speaker 1: making the game too complicated. And then also when you 652 00:35:04,600 --> 00:35:07,759 Speaker 1: get back in yours go I'm taking no prisoners, you know, 653 00:35:08,160 --> 00:35:11,439 Speaker 1: screw everybody, screw the coach, screw all this. I'm gonna 654 00:35:11,440 --> 00:35:13,960 Speaker 1: be a leader and not think too much and do 655 00:35:14,160 --> 00:35:16,160 Speaker 1: all that. And they've found their way here. That the 656 00:35:16,200 --> 00:35:18,919 Speaker 1: best three offensive games of the whole season the last 657 00:35:18,920 --> 00:35:21,439 Speaker 1: three weeks. Good for the Bears. And if you made 658 00:35:21,440 --> 00:35:24,040 Speaker 1: me choose, I bet you they beat the Cardinals and 659 00:35:24,120 --> 00:35:26,279 Speaker 1: end up in the seventh seed over the Cardinals. Yes, 660 00:35:26,560 --> 00:35:29,080 Speaker 1: that would be my choice. WHOA I like it? Yeah, 661 00:35:29,239 --> 00:35:33,319 Speaker 1: I like it.

You know, Paulli 691 00:37:12,320 --> 00:37:15,440 Speaker 1: keeps sending me this stat about Mitchell Trubisky. He's twenty 692 00:37:15,440 --> 00:37:17,880 Speaker 1: eight and twenty through his first forty eight games. Paully's 693 00:37:17,880 --> 00:37:19,960 Speaker 1: sent it a couple of times this morning. He's like, 694 00:37:20,080 --> 00:37:23,560 Speaker 1: he's got the same record as Aaron Rodgers into Seawan 695 00:37:23,680 --> 00:37:26,600 Speaker 1: watch and I go, okay, do you want to sign 696 00:37:26,719 --> 00:37:30,920 Speaker 1: up Mitchell Trubisky for the next five years? PAULI, I don't, 697 00:37:31,040 --> 00:37:33,560 Speaker 1: but I don't know what else to do, because otherwise 698 00:37:33,920 --> 00:37:37,359 Speaker 1: they have like mitter Chrubisky's probably a B minus as 699 00:37:37,360 --> 00:37:39,120 Speaker 1: a quarterback if you look at the league, and that's 700 00:37:39,160 --> 00:37:43,920 Speaker 1: probably being nice. But he throws more touchdowns and picks. 701 00:37:43,960 --> 00:37:46,120 Speaker 1: He wins more games than he loses, and as a 702 00:37:46,160 --> 00:37:49,000 Speaker 1: Bears fan, I don't know if he's the problem, but 703 00:37:49,320 --> 00:37:51,440 Speaker 1: it's a weird situation because they're not getting anyone high 704 00:37:51,440 --> 00:37:53,040 Speaker 1: in the draft. So that's a weird situation. Do you 705 00:37:53,040 --> 00:37:55,440 Speaker 1: want to sign him up for five years? Can I 706 00:37:55,440 --> 00:37:59,719 Speaker 1: get him for like three years sixty million? There is 707 00:37:59,719 --> 00:38:02,719 Speaker 1: there an No, It doesn't feel like there's middle grind. 708 00:38:02,840 --> 00:38:04,799 Speaker 1: It feels like the next quarterback up and then he 709 00:38:04,840 --> 00:38:07,440 Speaker 1: gets paid, you know, thirty five million. Yeah, I'm acleven, 710 00:38:07,960 --> 00:38:10,120 Speaker 1: but do you really want him for three year sixty millions? 711 00:38:10,120 --> 00:38:12,560 Speaker 1: That means you can't jump into this huge free agent 712 00:38:12,560 --> 00:38:17,080 Speaker 1: class this year. I like what Trubisky has done because 713 00:38:17,120 --> 00:38:19,000 Speaker 1: he's you know, he's been kicked to the curb a 714 00:38:19,000 --> 00:38:22,440 Speaker 1: couple of times here and they're playing pretty well. And 715 00:38:22,520 --> 00:38:24,879 Speaker 1: I give him credit because you know, when you get 716 00:38:24,960 --> 00:38:27,640 Speaker 1: knocked down, that's when you find out about these quarterbacks, 717 00:38:27,800 --> 00:38:29,960 Speaker 1: like I want to see what's next for Carson Wentz. 718 00:38:30,280 --> 00:38:33,319 Speaker 1: And Adam Schefter had a report that Carson Wentz isn't 719 00:38:33,360 --> 00:38:36,880 Speaker 1: happy being a backup. Okay, I would have been shocked 720 00:38:37,040 --> 00:38:39,680 Speaker 1: if he said, you know what, I'm kind of digging 721 00:38:39,760 --> 00:38:42,880 Speaker 1: the backup thing. Man. I'm getting paid thirty million. I 722 00:38:42,880 --> 00:38:45,520 Speaker 1: don't get a hit, I get to carry a clipboard. 723 00:38:45,640 --> 00:38:49,360 Speaker 1: This is great. Of course he's not happy. Now I 724 00:38:49,400 --> 00:38:51,799 Speaker 1: don't like that. The information got out that he's not 725 00:38:51,960 --> 00:38:55,440 Speaker 1: happy because he doesn't want to be a backup quarterback. 726 00:38:56,000 --> 00:39:00,399 Speaker 1: I wouldn't want a quarterback like Carson Wentz who said, 727 00:39:00,560 --> 00:39:02,279 Speaker 1: I'm okay with being a backup. I'm gonna be a 728 00:39:02,360 --> 00:39:05,680 Speaker 1: good soldier. I know you try to be a good soldier, 729 00:39:06,120 --> 00:39:09,759 Speaker 1: but deep down you're not a good soldier. It's a 730 00:39:09,920 --> 00:39:14,360 Speaker 1: very selfish industry. Like you're out there, I get my chance. 731 00:39:14,440 --> 00:39:17,000 Speaker 1: I want to prove I can play. And you know, 732 00:39:17,239 --> 00:39:20,000 Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts has earned the right to be the starting 733 00:39:20,080 --> 00:39:24,040 Speaker 1: quarterback the rest of the year. Absolutely, he played really, 734 00:39:24,080 --> 00:39:28,560 Speaker 1: really well. He's given them a spark and I would 735 00:39:28,640 --> 00:39:31,960 Speaker 1: leave him in there. Let's see because once defenses get 736 00:39:32,000 --> 00:39:35,160 Speaker 1: some tape on you, then things change. That's what I 737 00:39:35,200 --> 00:39:38,319 Speaker 1: want to see with Jalen Hurts. But absolutely, positively he 738 00:39:38,320 --> 00:39:41,120 Speaker 1: should be the starting quarterback there. And yes, I get it, 739 00:39:41,200 --> 00:39:44,520 Speaker 1: Carson Wentz has got his feelings hurt. Well, you know what, 740 00:39:44,800 --> 00:39:49,160 Speaker 1: you didn't play well, and somehow Jalen Hurts, with the 741 00:39:49,280 --> 00:39:53,360 Speaker 1: same talent that you're playing with, played with is making 742 00:39:53,400 --> 00:39:57,680 Speaker 1: some things happen and they look competitive. They have life. 743 00:39:58,200 --> 00:40:00,799 Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts is your starting quarter back. The rest of 744 00:40:00,840 --> 00:40:04,600 Speaker 1: the season. Yeah, mcclend. Yeah, Carthon Wentz is unhappy. Now 745 00:40:04,640 --> 00:40:07,160 Speaker 1: wait till he's wearing that Bears uniform week one next year. 746 00:40:08,480 --> 00:40:12,960 Speaker 1: That's Twitter. Twitter already assigned him to the Bears on Sunday. Yeah. 747 00:40:13,600 --> 00:40:15,759 Speaker 1: I still like the Colts, but I've been saying that 748 00:40:15,840 --> 00:40:18,719 Speaker 1: for about three months. Mark and New York joints us Hey, Mark, 749 00:40:18,760 --> 00:40:20,600 Speaker 1: what's on your mind? Best and worst of the weekend? 750 00:40:21,280 --> 00:40:24,680 Speaker 1: Hey Dan, happy holiday? Thank you? Mark? You two first 751 00:40:24,719 --> 00:40:27,759 Speaker 1: time long time five eight in a solid thirty pack 752 00:40:27,880 --> 00:40:32,000 Speaker 1: at two hundred pounds. I got. My best is Tray 753 00:40:32,080 --> 00:40:37,200 Speaker 1: Sermon really practicing what he preaches, going off for thirty 754 00:40:37,280 --> 00:40:41,040 Speaker 1: one yards. Yep, look good. He's the Oklahoma transfer, which 755 00:40:41,280 --> 00:40:43,480 Speaker 1: was kind of interesting. There what else do you have? 756 00:40:43,640 --> 00:40:46,759 Speaker 1: And my worst is Notre Dame's loss man. They just 757 00:40:46,840 --> 00:40:49,600 Speaker 1: weren't ready for that new guy that Clemson brought in, 758 00:40:49,680 --> 00:40:55,520 Speaker 1: that Dane Bill Lawrence guy. I'm telling you, yeah, Billy 759 00:40:55,560 --> 00:41:00,319 Speaker 1: Lawrence looked pretty good for Clemson. There we got a 760 00:41:00,360 --> 00:41:03,480 Speaker 1: little mock headline and there Todd sent out I don't 761 00:41:03,520 --> 00:41:07,320 Speaker 1: know how many mock headlines about the sermon in Ohio State, 762 00:41:07,400 --> 00:41:11,120 Speaker 1: and I went, oh, I filled up your text pretty 763 00:41:11,120 --> 00:41:13,680 Speaker 1: good there, Yeah you did, Yeah, you did? Do you 764 00:41:13,680 --> 00:41:16,040 Speaker 1: want to do a couple of them? I have to 765 00:41:16,040 --> 00:41:18,879 Speaker 1: go find them all good and then hopefully you won't 766 00:41:18,920 --> 00:41:22,759 Speaker 1: find it. Todd's got his Christmas sports names on Wednesday, 767 00:41:22,880 --> 00:41:29,200 Speaker 1: by the way, correct, Yes, yes, yes, John and Iowa. 768 00:41:29,280 --> 00:41:32,640 Speaker 1: Hey John, what's on your mind? John? Hey Dan? Thanks 769 00:41:32,680 --> 00:41:34,879 Speaker 1: so much for having me on Happy Holidays. I wanted 770 00:41:34,880 --> 00:41:36,400 Speaker 1: to do the best of the week, worst of the 771 00:41:36,400 --> 00:41:39,840 Speaker 1: week sticks foot and not too hard, not too soft, 772 00:41:39,960 --> 00:41:43,640 Speaker 1: one five. I want to start off with the worst. 773 00:41:43,840 --> 00:41:46,680 Speaker 1: Um the fact Ohio State yet again gets a pass 774 00:41:46,840 --> 00:41:49,200 Speaker 1: for a season where they played five regular Big Ten 775 00:41:49,239 --> 00:41:52,759 Speaker 1: season games. Will they say Indiana was the tough team 776 00:41:52,760 --> 00:41:55,279 Speaker 1: they played against. Well, Indiana doesn't get squat and the 777 00:41:55,320 --> 00:41:58,200 Speaker 1: hypocrisy continues with Ohio State getting pushed through is a 778 00:41:58,239 --> 00:42:00,600 Speaker 1: Big Ten. I'm a Hawkeye fan, so you can tell 779 00:42:00,640 --> 00:42:03,680 Speaker 1: that I'm better. The best of the week would be 780 00:42:03,760 --> 00:42:05,560 Speaker 1: that my wife and I are in the process of 781 00:42:05,600 --> 00:42:08,000 Speaker 1: selling our house, so things are good. But the better 782 00:42:08,080 --> 00:42:10,360 Speaker 1: bestest of the week would be I'm talking to you 783 00:42:10,400 --> 00:42:12,319 Speaker 1: and I have a chance to say thank you so 784 00:42:12,400 --> 00:42:15,919 Speaker 1: much for announcing about a year over a year ago 785 00:42:16,239 --> 00:42:19,640 Speaker 1: you had polymin alger and romatica. Yeah, my father has it, 786 00:42:19,880 --> 00:42:22,319 Speaker 1: and when you announced it, we found out within a 787 00:42:22,360 --> 00:42:25,160 Speaker 1: week that he had it and he's doing great, and 788 00:42:25,280 --> 00:42:28,120 Speaker 1: we didn't know this disease existed anything about it. So, 789 00:42:28,680 --> 00:42:31,000 Speaker 1: you know, I just want to say thank you so much. Awesome, 790 00:42:31,120 --> 00:42:34,560 Speaker 1: that's great, great to hear, John, and good luck with 791 00:42:34,640 --> 00:42:37,839 Speaker 1: the move. I had no idea what PMR was poly 792 00:42:37,960 --> 00:42:41,080 Speaker 1: my algae ramatica. All I know is I woke up 793 00:42:41,080 --> 00:42:42,640 Speaker 1: one day and I felt like I had the flu, 794 00:42:43,640 --> 00:42:45,960 Speaker 1: but I wasn't nauseous. And then I realized. The next 795 00:42:46,040 --> 00:42:48,160 Speaker 1: day I woke up and I had the same feeling 796 00:42:48,239 --> 00:42:51,040 Speaker 1: and then the same you know, it was Groundhog Day 797 00:42:51,160 --> 00:42:54,440 Speaker 1: every day. But usually it's older people who get it, 798 00:42:54,480 --> 00:42:57,719 Speaker 1: and older people think they're dying, you know, they it's 799 00:42:57,760 --> 00:43:01,560 Speaker 1: just such a foreign feeling to them. But there are 800 00:43:02,000 --> 00:43:05,680 Speaker 1: remedies out there, not necessarily cures, but there are remedies 801 00:43:05,719 --> 00:43:07,680 Speaker 1: out there if you're suffering, or you know somebody who's 802 00:43:07,680 --> 00:43:11,839 Speaker 1: suffering from it, because it can be debilitating. More phone 803 00:43:11,840 --> 00:43:14,000 Speaker 1: calls coming up, always great to hear from your best 804 00:43:14,000 --> 00:43:16,120 Speaker 1: and words to the weekend.
