Speaker 2: one end you have teams that have already Thanks Chris.

7
00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:27,320
Speaker 3: My mic was down as I was responding to Alex.

8
00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:29,280
Speaker 3: So it's like the first, guys, we haven't done this

9
00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:30,240
Speaker 3: show since last year.

10
00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:33,519
Speaker 4: Give me a break. Oh, come on, you're one of

00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:38,279
Speaker 2: All of those people that goes, come on, it's been

13
00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:40,599
Speaker 2: this last year. How long do you say Happy New Year?

14
00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:43,640
Speaker 2: This is something that's always up for debate. How long

15
00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:45,720
Speaker 2: is it okay to say Happy New Year?

16
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:46,160
Speaker 4: People?

17
00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:49,519
Speaker 3: Funny that you say that. Yesterday one week you were

18
00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:51,920
Speaker 3: on a bar and we saw people we hadn't seen

19
00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:54,600
Speaker 3: and we cheers Happy New Year because we hadn't seen

20
00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:56,440
Speaker 3: them yet. But I agree. I was like, we can't

21
00:00:56,520 --> 00:00:56,960
Speaker 3: keep doing it.

22
00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:00,600
Speaker 4: No, no, no, I'm probably like two days.

23
00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:01,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, for sure.

24
00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:04,080
Speaker 2: I don't really say it much after like the first

25
00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:06,399
Speaker 2: or the second, but I'll accept it for the first week.

26
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:08,360
Speaker 3: If you haven't seen some people who.

27
00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:11,400
Speaker 4: Are saying it for the entire month, get out of here. Yeah, no,

28
00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:12,039
Speaker 4: I agree.

29
00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:14,360
Speaker 3: I agree. I'm with you, but I just cheers.

30
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:16,440
Speaker 4: How you did. That's what I'm saying. This is your

31
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:17,839
Speaker 4: I'm giving you today.

32
00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:20,160
Speaker 3: Today is my last day to say how.

33
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:20,800
Speaker 4: We do it?

34
00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:22,640
Speaker 5: Next week too, and then probably stop.

35
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:25,120
Speaker 3: Well, she's gonna take you down, Chris, you can't do that.

36
00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:27,560
Speaker 5: Actually, I don't get holidays around here, since I'm here

37
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:30,600
Speaker 5: every day on the holidays in sports.

38
00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:31,000
Speaker 6: I know.

39
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:34,040
Speaker 5: But it's it's it does throw off. The point is

40
00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:36,000
Speaker 5: that it throws off my sense of when the new

41
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:36,640
Speaker 5: year is.

42
00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:39,800
Speaker 3: But I get that. But I'm with Alex too. It's

43
00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:41,920
Speaker 3: a well need to We're done, We're done, We're done.

44
00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:43,680
Speaker 3: I think this was a curd episode.

45
00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:46,080
Speaker 4: This is like a Larry David. Then I have it.

46
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:48,600
Speaker 4: It feels like a Larry David. Didn't watch a lot

47
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:49,560
Speaker 4: of a curve what?

48
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:53,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, I know I did not. Who are you do

49
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:53,880
Speaker 3: you think?

50
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:54,080
Speaker 7: It was?

51
00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:54,440
Speaker 1: Still?

52
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:54,680
Speaker 6: Like?

53
00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:55,120
Speaker 1: Hold up?

54
00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:55,920
Speaker 3: If I start watching it.

55
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:58,080
Speaker 2: Yes, they're doing a season. They're doing like like one

56
00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:02,200
Speaker 2: more season. Really, just I could use on your show?

57
00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:02,640
Speaker 7: All right?

58
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:04,400
Speaker 4: Let me get back to what I was saying.

59
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:08,760
Speaker 2: Let's talk about sorry about this weekend, right, because, like

60
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:10,840
Speaker 2: I said, on one end, it's it's such a weird weekend.

61
00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:12,680
Speaker 2: So one any of teams that have already clinched, so

62
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:16,000
Speaker 2: they are resting majority of their starters.

63
00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:17,320
Speaker 4: But then we have a.

64
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:20,679
Speaker 2: Handful of games with pretty big playoff implications. You got

65
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:24,040
Speaker 2: Bills at Dolphins, the winner wins the division, Green Bay

66
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:25,360
Speaker 2: win and they're in the playoffs.

67
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:27,160
Speaker 4: Cowboy win and they win the division.

68
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:29,760
Speaker 2: And then the AFC South is still up for grabs

69
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:32,480
Speaker 2: with the Jags, Colts, and Texans all.

70
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:34,000
Speaker 4: Tied at like nine and seven.

71
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:39,040
Speaker 2: Good news, We've got a couple big games today, right Monsie,

72
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:43,320
Speaker 2: Steelers at Ravens starting in about thirty minutes.

73
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:45,040
Speaker 4: And then the Texans at Colts tonight.

74
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:49,079
Speaker 2: Winner clinches a playoff spot and a possibility to win

75
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:52,880
Speaker 2: the division if the Jags lose. On Sunday, there was

76
00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:56,440
Speaker 2: just kind of breaking news that Trevor Lawrence was on

77
00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:59,919
Speaker 2: the flight, so who knows, Yeah, we don't know. That's

78
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,840
Speaker 2: it's gonna be great so much, What a great.

79
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:06,519
Speaker 3: So much the NFL wrote for us, right, you couldn't get.

80
00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:07,440
Speaker 4: Like it for this season.

81
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:10,280
Speaker 3: Finale, Sason finale. You can't expect this, the fact that

82
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:13,560
Speaker 3: there's so many different avenues for teams to make it

83
00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:14,359
Speaker 3: or not make it.

84
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:16,600
Speaker 2: But it's like half in half because then you have

85
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:20,640
Speaker 2: like obviously Steelers at Ravens, Ravens already clinched number one,

86
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:23,120
Speaker 2: say they're resting majority of their guys. Steelers are just

87
00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:25,440
Speaker 2: trying to mess things up for other people.

88
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:28,200
Speaker 4: Who knows. I mean, they still have a possibility. It's like,

89
00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:30,040
Speaker 4: I know, it's it's nuts.

90
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:32,560
Speaker 2: You guys were broadcasting live at the Tarak dot Com studios.

00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:59,320
Speaker 2: We have Fox Sports NFC North reporter Carmon Vitality, probably our.

100
00:03:59,200 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 4: Best friend of the show.

101
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:02,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, best of the show joining us at the

102
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:04,680
Speaker 2: bottom of the hour to get her inside info on

103
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:06,840
Speaker 2: what she thinks the Bears are going to do with

104
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:10,720
Speaker 2: that first overall draft pick, and Justin Fields, I think

105
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:12,720
Speaker 2: a lot's gonna come down to how that game plays

106
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:13,240
Speaker 2: out tomorrow.

107
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:15,560
Speaker 4: I'm glad I don't have to make that decision. You know, like.

108
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:19,159
Speaker 2: Bottom of hour two, if Bill's reporter Maddi Glab breaking

109
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:22,480
Speaker 2: down the game of the weekend, and she's gonna bring

110
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:23,000
Speaker 2: us into that.

111
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:24,080
Speaker 4: Bill's locker room.

112
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:27,120
Speaker 2: Producer Bob Benson with us today our technical producer Chris

113
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:29,360
Speaker 2: Purfett and Brian Finley at the news desk.

114
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:34,800
Speaker 4: So let's get started with the biggest game of.

115
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:38,440
Speaker 2: The season for these two teams, biggest game of the weekend,

116
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:43,120
Speaker 2: Bills at Dolphins. The winner wins the AFC East and

117
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:46,120
Speaker 2: gets the second seed behind the Ravens and home field

118
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:49,560
Speaker 2: advantage for a couple of games. Big advantage if it's

119
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:52,520
Speaker 2: Buffalo this time of year, because it's crazy, right, right right.

120
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:56,600
Speaker 2: But it's interesting with the Bills because if the Bills

121
00:04:56,920 --> 00:05:00,760
Speaker 2: need to win and they're in there is a slight

122
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:04,840
Speaker 2: chance they could miss the playoffs if they lose, correct,

123
00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:07,680
Speaker 2: and it's if all of these things happen. Okay, So

124
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:10,720
Speaker 2: all of these things have to happen. They lose on Sunday, Okay,

125
00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:17,359
Speaker 2: Steelers beat the Ravens. Today, Jags beat the Titans, and

126
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:21,159
Speaker 2: I think there's a Texans. It's messy, yeah, but all

127
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:24,080
Speaker 2: of those things have to happen and they have to lose.

128
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:24,440
Speaker 3: Correct.

129
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:28,599
Speaker 2: So basically, Bills just need they control their own destinies.

130
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:31,400
Speaker 4: They really do win and you're in. It's that simple.

131
00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:34,640
Speaker 2: But when you look at both of these teams, Bills Dolphins,

132
00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:37,200
Speaker 2: it's kind of a tale of two very different seasons.

133
00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:41,520
Speaker 2: Right The Bills started off rocky. Dolphins came out just

134
00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:46,160
Speaker 2: firing out of the gates. But now Bills have been

135
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:50,680
Speaker 2: on a hot streak. Yep, like they got hot at

136
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:53,440
Speaker 2: the perfect time of the season. They're on a four

137
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:56,400
Speaker 2: game win streak. Josh Allen is taking this team, put

138
00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:59,160
Speaker 2: them on his back, and all you have to do

139
00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:02,200
Speaker 2: is win at the end, win enough to get into

140
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:05,960
Speaker 2: the playoffs and then anything can happen. Yeah, anything can

141
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:10,040
Speaker 2: happen once you're in the playoffs. Meanwhile, Dolphins, they've had

142
00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:12,920
Speaker 2: some trouble. Yes, tough loss to the Ravens last week.

143
00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:16,480
Speaker 2: They got worked, they got a lot of injuries right

144
00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:20,560
Speaker 2: now that they're dealing with. The most devastating I think

145
00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:23,080
Speaker 2: in the Ravens loss was Bradley Chubb, who's now out

146
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:26,000
Speaker 2: for the season. Already lost Jalen Phillips earlier this season,

147
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:30,120
Speaker 2: so they are light at the edge rusher. They have

148
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:33,680
Speaker 2: a couple big names still questionable. They both missed last

149
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:36,520
Speaker 2: week's game, with Raheem Moster at the running back and

150
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:39,400
Speaker 2: Jalen Waddle the wide receiver. Also, Tybree hills House caught

151
00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:40,040
Speaker 2: on fire this.

152
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:41,760
Speaker 3: Week and he wasn't at practice.

153
00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:46,839
Speaker 4: He wasn't at practice, Like yep, what a dramatic week

154
00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:48,120
Speaker 4: for the Dolphins.

155
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:51,279
Speaker 2: Not the wrong time, like I said, Like they both

156
00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:54,159
Speaker 2: started at opposite ends of the spectrum, and now they've

157
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:56,880
Speaker 2: both kind of like switched towards the end of the season.

158
00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:58,960
Speaker 2: And honestly, you want to be in the Bills position

159
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:01,880
Speaker 2: of getting hot at this time opposed to starting hot

160
00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:03,080
Speaker 2: and coming back down.

161
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:03,800
Speaker 4: And also.

162
00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:07,880
Speaker 3: Getting hot but in a quiet way where like no

163
00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:10,160
Speaker 3: one's been paying attention to you the Bills. You know

164
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:11,640
Speaker 3: what I'm saying, Because at the start of the season,

165
00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:14,880
Speaker 3: like you said, a tale of two different seasons. Even

166
00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:16,840
Speaker 3: at the beginning, I was like, I don't see how

167
00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:19,160
Speaker 3: the Bills make it out. I just didn't see it

168
00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:22,120
Speaker 3: and it was rocky. But here they are, and I

169
00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:25,480
Speaker 3: feel like that's another positive. Not only are they on

170
00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:29,560
Speaker 3: a hot streak, they're healthier, but they're winning. In spite

171
00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:33,280
Speaker 3: of Stefan Diggs's recent numbers, dig still has the most

172
00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:36,440
Speaker 3: receiving yards for the Bills, but in his last couple of.

173
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:38,000
Speaker 4: Games it's kind of a down. It's kind of a

174
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:38,920
Speaker 4: down season for him.

175
00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:42,040
Speaker 3: Twenty six yards against the Patriots, twenty nine yards against

176
00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:45,400
Speaker 3: the Chargers, forty eight against Dallas, twenty four against Kansas City,

177
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:48,520
Speaker 3: seventy four against the Eagles in OT twenty seven against

178
00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:50,360
Speaker 3: the Jets. That's not what you were expecting if you

179
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:52,880
Speaker 3: were playing fantasy football and you drafted Steffan Diggs. Oh yeah,

180
00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:54,040
Speaker 3: that's not what you were expecting.

181
00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:55,000
Speaker 4: No, not at all.

182
00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:57,240
Speaker 3: They've won four in a row despite and these are

183
00:07:57,280 --> 00:07:58,239
Speaker 3: the most recent games.

184
00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:01,840
Speaker 2: It's actually sense firing our offensive coordinator Ken Dorsey. They're

185
00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:06,840
Speaker 2: five and one. That kind of like completely turn their

186
00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:07,600
Speaker 2: season around.

187
00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:12,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's really really crazy that they are here controlling

188
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:14,760
Speaker 3: their destiny. Just like you said, Yeah, but I think

189
00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:17,280
Speaker 3: you hit the nail on the coffin from you with

190
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:21,600
Speaker 3: they're the hot team, they're the healthier team. Yeah, there's

191
00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:22,920
Speaker 3: just no way to deny that.

192
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:26,760
Speaker 4: But we both know, everyone knows. We've seen it. If

193
00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:28,160
Speaker 4: you've been watching these teams all season.

194
00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:32,400
Speaker 2: How great both of these teams can be if they're

195
00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:35,440
Speaker 2: playing to their full potential and they are both right

196
00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:39,280
Speaker 2: now playing for the division tomorrow. Like I said, winner

197
00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:43,200
Speaker 2: wins the AFC East, they get the second seed behind

198
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:45,679
Speaker 2: the Ravens and home field advantage for a couple of games.

199
00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:48,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, like you are playing for your season, you really are,

200
00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:49,160
Speaker 4: you really are.

201
00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:54,640
Speaker 3: And the Dolphins like technically have the better offensive weapons.

202
00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:56,520
Speaker 2: Okay, so let's go through this, right, We're gonna go

203
00:08:56,559 --> 00:08:59,520
Speaker 2: down a list and share who we think has the

204
00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:02,280
Speaker 2: edge the edge, has the edge on a couple different things. Okay,

205
00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:06,920
Speaker 2: let's start with the quarterbacks. Now, the stats don't necessarily

206
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:11,600
Speaker 2: paint a clear picture. Favorite Tua and the Dolphins got

207
00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:15,880
Speaker 2: kind of a boosted like offensive stats from a couple

208
00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:18,160
Speaker 2: of crazy games to a does lead the league in

209
00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:20,520
Speaker 2: passing yards fourth and passer rating tied for fourth, and

210
00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:24,200
Speaker 2: passing touchdowns, while Josh Allen seventh and passing yards sixteenth

211
00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:27,840
Speaker 2: and passer rating tied for seventh and passing passing touchdowns and.

212
00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:30,720
Speaker 3: Also a ton of interceptions that a while ago.

213
00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:36,760
Speaker 2: Like this just kind of comes down to an eye

214
00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:41,280
Speaker 2: test and who is playing great now right now? And

215
00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:43,920
Speaker 2: I think Josh Allen has put this team on his back.

216
00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:48,560
Speaker 2: He's won four in a row. Historically, he is great

217
00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:51,320
Speaker 2: against the Dolphins. He is ten and two in his career,

218
00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:52,920
Speaker 2: Josh Allen is against the Dolphins.

219
00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:53,679
Speaker 4: So it's it's.

220
00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:59,040
Speaker 2: Feeling favorable with Josh Allen having the edge on the quarterback?

221
00:09:59,080 --> 00:09:59,520
Speaker 4: Who do you think?

222
00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:01,839
Speaker 3: I also, I agree with you, but now in the season,

223
00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:03,880
Speaker 3: if we would have had this conversation, you know, seven

224
00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:04,400
Speaker 3: weeks ago.

225
00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:06,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, you're saying to it, we're saying to us.

226
00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:09,800
Speaker 3: But I'm with you right now, just for this game. Now,

227
00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:12,319
Speaker 3: I'm talking about the playoffs and what happens beyond before

228
00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:14,439
Speaker 3: this game, I'm with you. I would give the edge

229
00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:16,720
Speaker 3: to Josh Allen. He seems to have a chip on

230
00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:19,360
Speaker 3: his shoulder a little bit and he's doing what he

231
00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:23,120
Speaker 3: can and he's literally carrying this team, like you said,

232
00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:26,280
Speaker 3: which he has done that before, right We've seen him.

233
00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:28,520
Speaker 3: I've said it. He puts too much pressure on himself

234
00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:31,280
Speaker 3: sometimes and that's when he's had those like three interception

235
00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:34,200
Speaker 3: games prior, like earlier in the season. But right now

236
00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:38,439
Speaker 3: he seems to just be very cool, calm and collected,

237
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:42,280
Speaker 3: and I think that's a big edge. It is when

238
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:44,200
Speaker 3: we're talking about a team that's going through so many,

239
00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:47,719
Speaker 3: you know, injuries and okay, house burning down.

240
00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:52,840
Speaker 4: Who has the edge with offensive weapons?

241
00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:55,680
Speaker 2: This one and all is also kind of tough because

242
00:10:57,120 --> 00:10:58,559
Speaker 2: Miami would have a bigger.

243
00:10:58,400 --> 00:10:59,960
Speaker 4: Edge if all these guys are play.

244
00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:06,080
Speaker 2: Obviously still questionable with Mozart and Waddle. Tyreek Hill, even

245
00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:08,040
Speaker 2: after missing one game and missing practice this week with

246
00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:10,880
Speaker 2: his house burning down, still first in the league in

247
00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:14,840
Speaker 2: receiving yards, second in receiving touchdowns. He can make up

248
00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:19,240
Speaker 2: for losing those big name players. But Bill's you know,

249
00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:23,240
Speaker 2: James Cook is third in rushing yards. He's great behind

250
00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:27,920
Speaker 2: McCaffrey and Williams and then Stefan Diggs. He's even though

251
00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:29,840
Speaker 2: this is a down season for him, he's still just

252
00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:34,520
Speaker 2: over a thousand receiving yards. Like it's he's capable of

253
00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:36,080
Speaker 2: greatness when he wants to.

254
00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:38,800
Speaker 3: And that's a big piece in this They've been winning

255
00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:41,560
Speaker 3: without him doing well. Imagine he picks it up for

256
00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:44,439
Speaker 3: this game. Yeah, and for this stretch of the playoffs,

257
00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:46,559
Speaker 3: Like you're all of a sudden a little worried.

258
00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:47,520
Speaker 4: This one's tough.

259
00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:51,839
Speaker 3: But I think the edge if all like you just said,

260
00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:54,679
Speaker 3: if all of the Dolphins weapons are playing.

261
00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:56,240
Speaker 2: They're questionable now they didn't play last week. If they

262
00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:57,800
Speaker 2: played this week, Dolphins have the edge.

263
00:11:57,880 --> 00:11:58,120
Speaker 7: They have.

264
00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:01,040
Speaker 3: Of course, with the office, we've seen that all go off,

265
00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:03,840
Speaker 3: like all four of them. I'm talking about Zavon h Chan,

266
00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:07,200
Speaker 3: Rahee Moster, Jayleen Waddle, Tyreek Hill. We have literally seen

267
00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:08,440
Speaker 3: them all go off in one game.

268
00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:12,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, Okay, who was the edge with the coach because

269
00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:17,560
Speaker 2: they're both top tier coaches as I mentioned earlier, like

270
00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:19,720
Speaker 2: Sean McDermott and the Bills are five and one since

271
00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:21,880
Speaker 2: firing their offensive coordinator Can Dorsey.

272
00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:28,520
Speaker 4: But I I love you guys, if you've listened to

273
00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:29,240
Speaker 4: our show before.

274
00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:34,400
Speaker 2: I love Mike McDaniel right, his personality just stole my heart.

275
00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:40,760
Speaker 2: I love a good, weird, funny human who connects with people.

276
00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:43,520
Speaker 2: And that's his whole shtick is like he's weird, he's

277
00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:45,959
Speaker 2: out there, but like the players love him and he

278
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:47,719
Speaker 2: connects with them, and yeah, he had a tough game

279
00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:51,120
Speaker 2: against the Ravens last week, but he completely turned two

280
00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:55,640
Speaker 2: US career around. This is to his best season of

281
00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:59,000
Speaker 2: his career. I'm gonna take McDaniel.

282
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:01,040
Speaker 3: You go to take McDaniel, So I'm going to take

283
00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:05,480
Speaker 3: Sean McDermott. Just because of where the teams are right now.

284
00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:08,599
Speaker 3: I have to assume that the Bills are feeling a

285
00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:11,680
Speaker 3: little comfortable right now, a little bit right like they

286
00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:15,600
Speaker 3: have won four in a row. People like myself, I

287
00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:16,240
Speaker 3: was like, they're not.

288
00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:18,920
Speaker 2: Gonna be in this position, playing for their like they

289
00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:21,120
Speaker 2: are playing for their postseason. There's no way they're comfortable

290
00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:23,000
Speaker 2: right now. I will talk to Maddy glab at the

291
00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:25,600
Speaker 2: bottom of next hour. She'll like, really give us the insights.

292
00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:27,680
Speaker 2: She's the Bills reporter that we have an hour two.

293
00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:30,760
Speaker 3: What I'm saying is he's gotta be more comfortable than

294
00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:33,439
Speaker 3: the way the Dolphins are feeling right now because of

295
00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:37,000
Speaker 3: all of the question marks surrounding the roster. That's the

296
00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:40,240
Speaker 3: only reason I'm giving him a slight edge. But it's

297
00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:42,679
Speaker 3: like very slight, Like I you know, ask me tomorrow,

298
00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:45,880
Speaker 3: I'm gonna say m daniel like, but I'm gonna say Sean.

299
00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:49,800
Speaker 4: Okay, real quick, who is the edge on defense? Now?

300
00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:52,920
Speaker 2: Both teams have some big injuries on defense. I think

301
00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:55,880
Speaker 2: the Dolphins like losing their leader on defense, Bradley Chubb

302
00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:58,840
Speaker 2: out for the season in the Ravens loss. That's a

303
00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:02,840
Speaker 2: huge hit for the morale, right, you know, and to

304
00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:05,079
Speaker 2: pick it up right away. Yeah, I'm gonna take the

305
00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:07,760
Speaker 2: Bills here. They're fourth in points allowed, tenth in yards allowed.

306
00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:11,360
Speaker 2: Dolphins are for twenty first in points allowed. I mean again,

307
00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:16,320
Speaker 2: these like big games, they kind of give you sure stats. Yeah,

308
00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:18,920
Speaker 2: I'm gonna take the Bills with the defensive edge.

309
00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:20,920
Speaker 3: I think I'm with you as well. It's just this

310
00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:24,000
Speaker 3: injury was so big last week and to immediately figure

311
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:26,200
Speaker 3: out a way to fill that hole, ye with this

312
00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:29,240
Speaker 3: big game, Yeah, the biggest, biggest game of their And

313
00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:30,680
Speaker 3: also like sure, I.

314
00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:32,560
Speaker 2: Don't think Miami's gonna have that big of a home

315
00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:36,200
Speaker 2: field advantage. I was reading an article according to vivid Seats,

316
00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:39,960
Speaker 2: they released how many tickets have been resold and they're

317
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:42,560
Speaker 2: predicting that fifty two percent of the fans at the

318
00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:45,160
Speaker 2: game will be Bills fans. Of course, And I love

319
00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:48,320
Speaker 2: Bill's mafia. Yeah, Bill's Mafia is probably one of the

320
00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:52,960
Speaker 2: coolest fan guises out there, and the name is also great. Yeah, best, craziest,

321
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:55,120
Speaker 2: loving everything. I don't know if you like remember this,

322
00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:59,160
Speaker 2: but Bill's Mafia raised money for Tua last season after

323
00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:00,760
Speaker 2: one of us really s a concussions.

324
00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:02,880
Speaker 4: They donated all the money to Tua's foundation.

325
00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:08,560
Speaker 3: It's just we're not surprised they're traveling, they're gonna go,

326
00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:10,480
Speaker 3: We're gonna be there. Especially they're like, oh, we could

327
00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:12,920
Speaker 3: go to Miami where the weather is nice.

328
00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:16,440
Speaker 2: Oh, it's gonna be it's gonna be wild. It's the

329
00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:18,760
Speaker 2: game of the weekend. I didn't know that to be incredible.

330
00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:20,000
Speaker 3: That's I'm not surprised.

331
00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:22,880
Speaker 4: I just don't know vivid seat resale.

332
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:25,640
Speaker 3: I'm gonna give credit to the Dolphins for allowing that,

333
00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:27,800
Speaker 3: because you know how teams limit that.

334
00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:31,000
Speaker 2: We heard like Rams were doing that because obviously it's

335
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:34,800
Speaker 2: a newer team here. There's more transplant of other teams

336
00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:38,160
Speaker 2: in LA opposed to like a newly formed correct LA

337
00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:39,480
Speaker 2: Rams Family Baseball.

338
00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:42,240
Speaker 3: I've heard it with certain teams during the postseason, you.

339
00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:42,680
Speaker 7: Know what I mean.

340
00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:47,520
Speaker 2: Then they literally could buy exactly like buying tickets.

341
00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:50,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, so all right, I'm gonna give credit to Miami

342
00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:51,640
Speaker 3: for not stopping that.

343
00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:55,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, so good job. Yeah, it's it's gonna be a

344
00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:58,000
Speaker 2: fun one. We've got a fun like three days of

365
00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:56,360
Speaker 2: from Tarak dot Com Studios in Los Angeles, and you guys,

366
00:16:57,040 --> 00:17:03,800
Speaker 2: we are two days away from the College Football National Championship.

367
00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:10,320
Speaker 2: Now last Monday semi final games amazing, amazing. We had drama,

368
00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:13,960
Speaker 2: we had great matchups. Both these games came down to

369
00:17:14,119 --> 00:17:16,720
Speaker 2: the last play of the game, edge of your seat

370
00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:19,680
Speaker 2: and if anybody is still debating that the committee got

371
00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:23,000
Speaker 2: it wrong, like Monday put that to wrest are clearly

372
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:25,800
Speaker 2: the four best things, especially after Florida State got destroyed

373
00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:28,080
Speaker 2: and embarrassed by Georgia sixty.

374
00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:30,920
Speaker 4: Three to three. Yeah, no, didn't even score a touchdown.

375
00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:36,040
Speaker 4: That was wild. Wild. If you missed it, I mean

376
00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:37,679
Speaker 4: you shouldn't. You should have watched it.

377
00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:41,320
Speaker 2: But Michigan beating Alabama in the Rose Bowl went into

378
00:17:41,359 --> 00:17:45,000
Speaker 2: overtime twenty seven to twenty. Michigan's defense held Alabama in

379
00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:48,640
Speaker 2: overtime for that win. It was like two brilliant coaches

380
00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:51,840
Speaker 2: head to head at the very end. And then Washington

381
00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:54,960
Speaker 2: beating Texas in the Sugar Bowl thirty seven to thirty one.

382
00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:59,600
Speaker 2: Texas trailed the entire game. Yeah, I mean they, according

383
00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:01,440
Speaker 2: to the number, had like the better.

384
00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:01,840
Speaker 4: Odds to win.

385
00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:07,800
Speaker 3: But Washington, Washington, they delivered.

386
00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:10,280
Speaker 2: They almost let them back though in the final two

387
00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:12,800
Speaker 2: mine into the game. Like that was wild but Michael

388
00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:16,359
Speaker 2: Pennocks Junior is He's the real deal. He is the

389
00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:19,680
Speaker 2: real deal. Now we have the National championship game Monday night.

390
00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:23,080
Speaker 2: Michigan is favored by four and a half over Washington.

391
00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:27,960
Speaker 2: This is going to be a pretty epic showdown. The

392
00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:30,679
Speaker 2: last time that Washington won a national title was in

393
00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:34,760
Speaker 2: nineteen ninety one. They've dominated all season to get here.

394
00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:36,960
Speaker 2: As I just mentioned, Michael Pennocks Junior is the real

395
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:39,879
Speaker 2: deal and he is going to be an NFL quarterback

396
00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:42,680
Speaker 2: next season. And he definitely improved his draft stock. Yep

397
00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:46,360
Speaker 2: like bawling out on a national stage. I mean there's

398
00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:48,800
Speaker 2: rumors that he might go top five.

399
00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:50,959
Speaker 3: He threw for four hundred and thirty yards.

400
00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:54,760
Speaker 2: No, he was incredible and he absolutely incredible. He was

401
00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:58,320
Speaker 2: playing out of his mind on the biggest stage like

402
00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:02,800
Speaker 2: he is. The passes, reput everything was just like Chef's kiss.

403
00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:05,080
Speaker 4: There really was. And then let's look at the other

404
00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:07,440
Speaker 4: side here, Michigan.

405
00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:13,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, it just it feels and I've been talking about

406
00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:16,199
Speaker 2: this ever since, Yeah, the whole the start of the

407
00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:19,480
Speaker 2: entire season, this feels like Michigan's year, saying they have

408
00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:23,000
Speaker 2: overcome so much adversity and every time they get knocked down,

409
00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:25,480
Speaker 2: They're like, yeah, right here, ma'am, I'm right back to

410
00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:26,360
Speaker 2: get right back up.

411
00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:29,120
Speaker 4: And it just feels like Jim Harbaugh's time.

412
00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:33,840
Speaker 2: To win a national win a national championship. And again

413
00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:36,680
Speaker 2: I've been saying I think I already think he's going

414
00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:38,760
Speaker 2: to be out. There's more reports now that he's going

415
00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:40,959
Speaker 2: to be out. But if he goes out on top, yeah,

416
00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:43,800
Speaker 2: what a great way to just kind of like cap

417
00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:47,360
Speaker 2: off the college coaching career at Michigan.

418
00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:53,000
Speaker 4: There's also if he stays, he could get.

419
00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:57,280
Speaker 2: Suspended more right, which is what is still investigating. He

420
00:19:57,320 --> 00:19:59,400
Speaker 2: could have to go through all of this again, all

421
00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:03,040
Speaker 2: the suspension again next season.

422
00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:05,640
Speaker 4: I'm pretty convinced.

423
00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:08,720
Speaker 2: I am convinced Jim Harbaugh is going to the NFL,

424
00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:10,879
Speaker 2: and he would be the clear favorite for any and

425
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:13,560
Speaker 2: all of the teams looking for a new head coach.

426
00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:15,879
Speaker 2: We'll get into a segment about that later, the coaching

427
00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:19,800
Speaker 2: hot seat, sure, but I feel like he would have

428
00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:21,480
Speaker 2: his choice probably.

429
00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:23,679
Speaker 3: I mean probably that would be silly, right, If you

430
00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:26,119
Speaker 3: want hardball, you got to give him everything and anything

431
00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:26,560
Speaker 3: he asks.

432
00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:30,720
Speaker 2: Here you go, Which is why I think Chargers are

433
00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:33,840
Speaker 2: the number one best fit for him. You have your

434
00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:37,360
Speaker 2: franchise quarterback, you have wealth like weapons, you have good

435
00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:38,959
Speaker 2: pieces in place.

436
00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:41,160
Speaker 4: It's a beautiful place to live. I'm also biased.

437
00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:44,720
Speaker 2: They're replacing the GM, so he would have a say

438
00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:49,359
Speaker 2: and who he works with, Chargers just they they they

439
00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:50,760
Speaker 2: are desperate for the right coach.

440
00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:51,760
Speaker 4: And they got to give him whatever he wants.

441
00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:54,199
Speaker 3: Weeks ago, when we first talked about this, I was like, no,

442
00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:55,240
Speaker 3: I don't think it's gonna happen.

443
00:20:55,320 --> 00:20:56,440
Speaker 4: I still am on that.

444
00:20:56,760 --> 00:21:02,720
Speaker 3: I ste no, but I am leaning more towards your

445
00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:06,080
Speaker 3: side than I was before. And I still stand by

446
00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:08,080
Speaker 3: do you want to deal with that ownership now? If

447
00:21:08,080 --> 00:21:10,640
Speaker 3: that ownership is willing to do whatever, then of course

448
00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:11,320
Speaker 3: how do you say no?

449
00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:11,639
Speaker 1: Right?

450
00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:14,600
Speaker 3: But that's like why I keep saying like, I don't know,

451
00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:17,400
Speaker 3: but I am leaning more towards your side. Now, back

452
00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:20,040
Speaker 3: to this game that's going to be, I think really

453
00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:24,639
Speaker 3: great because it's it's strength against strength, like the best

454
00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:27,359
Speaker 3: defense we could possibly see against one of the best

455
00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:31,919
Speaker 3: offenses we can possibly see. Will Michigan be able to

456
00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:35,080
Speaker 3: stop Michael Pennock Junior? Will his O line be able

457
00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:37,280
Speaker 3: to keep protecting him so that he can make these

458
00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:39,840
Speaker 3: crazy passes. Yeah, that is really what it's gonna come

459
00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:42,840
Speaker 3: down to. And I I'm so excited because I think

460
00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:45,160
Speaker 3: we're gonna go down to the wire with that game.

461
00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:46,520
Speaker 4: Like we did in the Semi Fi game. We did

462
00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:47,680
Speaker 4: be the last play of the game.

463
00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:49,880
Speaker 2: It's gonna be a one touchdown maybe a field goal

464
00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:52,080
Speaker 2: game like that's gonna be It's gonna be close.

465
00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:55,439
Speaker 3: And Washington has to also stop Blake Cooram, who is

466
00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:59,240
Speaker 3: also so great. Every time I see Blake Korum, I'm like,

467
00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:03,720
Speaker 3: he he cannot be stopped, like he gets anywhere he wants.

468
00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:06,120
Speaker 3: It's so fun to watch him. So I'm looking forward

469
00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:07,280
Speaker 3: to this. The best against the best.

00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:15,120
Speaker 2: that they got their feelings hurt.

473
00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:17,040
Speaker 4: But you didn't deserve to be there. You're not the

Speaker 10: was really fun. Family were all there, so it was good.

485
00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:46,720

00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:47,000
Speaker 6: You know.

496
00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:11,600
Speaker 10: But what we do know is that there is a

497
00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:13,119
Speaker 10: game coming up here in a couple of minutes in

498

00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:20,520
Speaker 10: That's raining out there. No Lamar Jackson, he is resting.

500
00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:24,080
Speaker 10: What we do know is that it appears as if

501
00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:27,480
Speaker 10: a Landon Roberts, the Pittsburgh linebacker, is going to play

502
00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:30,879
Speaker 10: in this game. He's coming off a peck injury. We

503
00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:33,879
Speaker 10: do also know that the Texans and Colts are going

504
00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:36,119
Speaker 10: to be playing later on as well, eight to fifteen

505
00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:38,399
Speaker 10: Eastern time, as when they kick things off and NFL

506
00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:42,040
Speaker 10: Network is saying that left tackle for Houston Learmie Tunsel,

507
00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:46,040
Speaker 10: along with defensiveman Will Anderson Junior, coming off injuries, are

508
00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:47,240
Speaker 10: slated to play.

509
00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:50,639
Speaker 9: In this game. Both were ruled questionable to begin.

510
00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:54,960
Speaker 10: Trevor Lawrence, as Alex and Monci we're talking about, is

511
00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:57,680
Speaker 10: on the planet?

512
00:23:57,920 --> 00:23:59,240
Speaker 9: That what you will?

513
00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:01,920
Speaker 4: I mean playing for the division?

514
00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:04,359
Speaker 9: Yeah yeah, why not?

515
00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:09,520
Speaker 10: Yeah, seventy five percent of him is better than maybe

516
00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:11,080
Speaker 10: one hundred percent of a second stringer.

517
00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:14,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, that's your guy, That is your guy.

518
00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:17,800
Speaker 10: And so yeah, he's coming off a right shoulder spray,

519
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:21,080
Speaker 10: questionable for the game as the Jaguars are flying to

520
00:24:21,160 --> 00:24:24,480
Speaker 10: Nashville to take on the Titans that game tomorrow. Still

521
00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:27,400
Speaker 10: no official declaration as to what the Lawrence is going

522
00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:30,240
Speaker 10: to play, but again he's with the team flying, so

523
00:24:30,480 --> 00:24:34,520
Speaker 10: take that into account. And then lastly, in college basketball,

524
00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:37,440
Speaker 10: we had one that went down to the wire and

525
00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:40,080
Speaker 10: it involved number two Kansas.

526
00:24:40,280 --> 00:24:42,200
Speaker 9: Ten seconds to play, Furfy has it.

527
00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:43,960
Speaker 3: At the top out to Harris, a lot.

528
00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:49,760
Speaker 11: To Dickinson, deep catch, juggles, shoots Hastars, Kansas takes the

529
00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:55,199
Speaker 11: lead upon Hawks with three seconds to play, went to

530
00:24:55,280 --> 00:24:56,960
Speaker 11: the All American Center.

531
00:24:57,480 --> 00:24:59,960
Speaker 10: Kansas Jyawks Radio Network, the number two Joks winning eighty

532
00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:02,879
Speaker 10: three eighty one against TC with that last second bucket

533
00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:05,560
Speaker 10: from Hunter Dickinson thirty points, eleven rebounds, a win for

534
00:25:05,640 --> 00:25:08,360
Speaker 10: number eight North Carolina over number sixteen Clemson sixty five

535
00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:11,360
Speaker 10: to fifty five, an upset victory for Seaton Hall over

536
00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:14,800
Speaker 10: number seven Market seventy eight to seventy five, a come

537
00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:18,280
Speaker 10: from behind win as well for number six Kentucky eighty

538
00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:22,159
Speaker 10: seven eighty five against Florida. And then lastly, Alex and

539
00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:24,880
Speaker 10: Monsey number three Houston. They're now in the Big twelve

540
00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:29,280
Speaker 10: and they just roared to an eighty nine to fifty five,

541
00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:33,600
Speaker 10: forty plus point victory against West for a genius. So

542
00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:36,960
Speaker 10: things are looking good for Houston. With that, let's get

543
00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:39,520
Speaker 10: it back to Alex Curry and Monci Bolognos.

544
00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:42,040
Speaker 2: Hey, Brian, you're listening to Fox Sports Saturday. I am

549
00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:55,200
Speaker 2: Best friend yeah of the show. Fox Sports NFC North

550
00:25:55,240 --> 00:25:58,520
Speaker 2: reporter Carmen Vitally. Happy birthday week, Carme.

551
00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:00,680
Speaker 7: Bessie?

552
00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:06,280
Speaker 4: How how are you right? All right? Yeah, there we go,

553
00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:10,439
Speaker 4: Thank guys, Karen. We have to start with the Bears.

554
00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:14,480
Speaker 2: They clinched that first overall draft pick last weekend with

555
00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:15,760
Speaker 2: the Panther's laws.

556
00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:17,000
Speaker 4: So what are you hearing?

557
00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:19,919
Speaker 2: Are the Bears going to keep that first pick in

558
00:26:20,040 --> 00:26:22,439
Speaker 2: draft Caleb Williams or are they going to be trading

559
00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:22,800
Speaker 2: it away?

560
00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:26,960
Speaker 7: Listen, the Bears have been very mum on this whole situation.

561
00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:29,720
Speaker 7: But we've talked. I've talked a lot about how Ryan

562
00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:32,560
Speaker 7: Folds is kind of he's a little bit more transparent

563
00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:36,400
Speaker 7: than your average GM. So reading between the lines, you

564
00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:40,639
Speaker 7: you've heard him. You've heard even George W Kevin Warren,

565
00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:44,280
Speaker 7: I'm sorry, the team president, and even their owner George

566
00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:47,800
Speaker 7: McCaskey talk about taking a step back when making this decision,

567
00:26:48,359 --> 00:26:50,280
Speaker 7: kind of looking at it at this from a bird's

568
00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:53,560
Speaker 7: eye view, and taking in the entire situation in its totality,

569
00:26:53,640 --> 00:26:57,080
Speaker 7: meeting the season in its totality, and then saying, Okay,

570
00:26:57,160 --> 00:26:59,840
Speaker 7: what is going to be the best move going forward?

571
00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:03,920
Speaker 7: I have my opinions, but honestly, we have not heard

572
00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:06,639
Speaker 7: much out of out of this Bears organization as to

573
00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:07,720
Speaker 7: which way they're leaning.

574
00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:14,760
Speaker 4: Other than that, what is your opinion, I.

575
00:27:14,920 --> 00:27:17,880
Speaker 7: You know, talking to evaluators around the league and stuff.

576
00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:21,600
Speaker 7: I just I can't imagine. This is such a unique

577
00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:25,000
Speaker 7: situation that the Bears are in, and quite frankly, I

578
00:27:25,040 --> 00:27:29,159
Speaker 7: think there are neither Either way they go is wrong.

579
00:27:29,280 --> 00:27:30,960
Speaker 7: I think that they're in a really good situation. But

580
00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:33,159
Speaker 7: the unique thing about their situation is that they have

581
00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:36,960
Speaker 7: the number one overall pick, not because they're terrible, but

582
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:40,280
Speaker 7: because they they had traded for it with a team

583
00:27:40,320 --> 00:27:43,520
Speaker 7: that is terrible. The Chicago Bears have quietly put together

584
00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:46,880
Speaker 7: a very good roster. This defense is coming into its

585
00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:50,720
Speaker 7: own I mean take it's been takeaway city, seventeen takeaways

586
00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:54,199
Speaker 7: in the last six games, I believe. And now you

587
00:27:54,280 --> 00:27:58,080
Speaker 7: get to put a one of the best prospects we've

588
00:27:58,119 --> 00:28:01,119
Speaker 7: seen in years at the quarterback position in into a

589
00:28:01,160 --> 00:28:05,680
Speaker 7: situation where he has the support on the defensive side

590
00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:08,240
Speaker 7: of the ball, he had some playmakers on offense, and

591
00:28:08,280 --> 00:28:11,240
Speaker 7: then they also have the capital, both monetary and draft

592
00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:14,280
Speaker 7: still to go out and get more pieces around this

593
00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:17,440
Speaker 7: young quarterback so that that transition is as easy as possible.

594
00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:20,960
Speaker 7: That is just not something that you see in the

595
00:28:21,119 --> 00:28:23,680
Speaker 7: NFL these days, in the modern NFL. So I don't

596
00:28:23,720 --> 00:28:26,440
Speaker 7: know how you don't take advantage of that, reset the

597
00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:29,760
Speaker 7: quarterback clock and be able to not have to pay

598
00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:32,480
Speaker 7: your quarterback for the next three, four or five years

599
00:28:32,800 --> 00:28:35,760
Speaker 7: while you build this team around him for sustained success.

600
00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:37,560
Speaker 7: And that is my opinion, that's true.

601
00:28:37,680 --> 00:28:40,320
Speaker 3: Resetting the quarterback clock, that's I think the key. But

602
00:28:40,520 --> 00:28:44,800
Speaker 3: let's okay, let's hypothetically say they do draft Caleb Williams.

603
00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:49,080
Speaker 3: What do you think happens to Justin Fields.

604
00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:51,000
Speaker 7: They have to trade, They have to trade Justin. I

605
00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:54,080
Speaker 7: know that there is technically a third option. We'll keep

606
00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:58,000
Speaker 7: Justin on and and see if it maybe start him

607
00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:00,160
Speaker 7: and let Kayleb kind of come into his own And

608
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:02,880
Speaker 7: I don't see that happening. You're going to cause friction

609
00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:05,280
Speaker 7: in the locker room because the locker room is behind

610
00:29:05,320 --> 00:29:08,440
Speaker 7: Justin Fields. Everybody has publicly come out and said they

611
00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:11,080
Speaker 7: love Justin they want him to be their quarterback. But

612
00:29:11,480 --> 00:29:13,640
Speaker 7: it is a business and these guys know that. But

613
00:29:13,680 --> 00:29:15,320
Speaker 7: the way to screw all of that up is to

614
00:29:15,360 --> 00:29:17,160
Speaker 7: have both of these guys in the locker room and

615
00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:20,280
Speaker 7: make these guys make the players have to choose who

616
00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:23,840
Speaker 7: they're throwing their support behind. Not to mention, Justin Field

617
00:29:23,920 --> 00:29:27,760
Speaker 7: is not a savvy, aging veteran that is on his

618
00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:31,360
Speaker 7: way out regardless of the league and can kind of

619
00:29:31,400 --> 00:29:34,000
Speaker 7: be a mentor to Kayleb Williams. Justin Field is still

620
00:29:34,040 --> 00:29:37,520
Speaker 7: trying to prove himself and prove to the league that

621
00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:41,240
Speaker 7: he belongs in it, and he is franchise quarterback worthy.

622
00:29:41,360 --> 00:29:45,680
Speaker 7: So I don't see that being the situation. I see

623
00:29:45,760 --> 00:29:49,840
Speaker 7: that the Bears would trade Justin Fields for Ceiling is

624
00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:53,600
Speaker 7: from what I'm hearing, stealing his second round, second round pick,

625
00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:57,480
Speaker 7: probably a third. But it just depends on who is

626
00:29:57,520 --> 00:29:59,280
Speaker 7: doing the trading, who your trade partner is, and how

627
00:29:59,320 --> 00:29:59,960
Speaker 7: despers they are.

628
00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:01,320
Speaker 4: Sure, So, if.

629
00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:05,800
Speaker 2: Justin Fields wins in Green Bay this weekend, does that

630
00:30:05,840 --> 00:30:07,880
Speaker 2: help him in any way? Will that have any impact?

631
00:30:09,240 --> 00:30:11,560
Speaker 7: I think it will have impact in the sense that

632
00:30:11,640 --> 00:30:13,840
Speaker 7: you are more likely to get this feeling into trade

633
00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:14,400
Speaker 7: value for.

634
00:30:14,440 --> 00:30:16,680
Speaker 4: Him, so you're you're pretty convinced they're going to trade him.

635
00:30:17,560 --> 00:30:22,640
Speaker 7: I I the way that I've heard members of this

636
00:30:22,760 --> 00:30:26,360
Speaker 7: organization come out and talk about this situation, nobody is

637
00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:29,719
Speaker 7: committing to anything and I just feel like if that

638
00:30:30,400 --> 00:30:33,280
Speaker 7: if a decision that Keith Fields was what they wanted

639
00:30:33,320 --> 00:30:36,720
Speaker 7: to do, that decision would have already been made. And

640
00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:40,680
Speaker 7: that's just my opinion on that matter. But I also

641
00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:43,720
Speaker 7: see like people saying Ryan Poles saying, we need to

642
00:30:43,800 --> 00:30:46,480
Speaker 7: look at the season in its totality. We need to

643
00:30:46,520 --> 00:30:49,160
Speaker 7: take a step back, make sure we're you know, coming

644
00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:52,400
Speaker 7: at this as objectively as possible. Makes me think that

645
00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:55,400
Speaker 7: they're going to trade him, because yes, Justin Field has

646
00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:58,040
Speaker 7: been playing better since he returned from that injury, But

647
00:30:58,640 --> 00:31:01,400
Speaker 7: is that a large enough stamp that you can trust

648
00:31:01,440 --> 00:31:03,880
Speaker 7: that this is the consistent play you're going to get

649
00:31:03,880 --> 00:31:06,040
Speaker 7: from him moving forward, because you.

650
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:09,160
Speaker 3: Know, the other option is to trade the pick and

651
00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:14,040
Speaker 3: then put people around Justin Fields like Marvin Harrison Jr.

652
00:31:14,560 --> 00:31:15,960
Speaker 3: There are other options.

653
00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:16,160
Speaker 6: You know.

654
00:31:16,160 --> 00:31:18,080
Speaker 3: I'm with you, like, I don't. I'm glad I'm not

655
00:31:18,120 --> 00:31:18,800
Speaker 3: making this decision.

656
00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:19,800
Speaker 4: I just don't know.

657
00:31:19,960 --> 00:31:20,240
Speaker 7: I don't.

658
00:31:20,680 --> 00:31:23,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, I just don't think there's one clear answer, And

659
00:31:23,480 --> 00:31:25,560
Speaker 3: I'm thinking, like, what if you put other pieces? Like

660
00:31:25,600 --> 00:31:29,320
Speaker 3: you said, the Bears have put together a good team

661
00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:32,520
Speaker 3: and they're just maybe one or few steps away from

662
00:31:32,520 --> 00:31:35,200
Speaker 3: being on the next level. So it's like, that's also

663
00:31:35,240 --> 00:31:37,760
Speaker 3: an option, right, like trading the pick.

664
00:31:38,760 --> 00:31:42,160
Speaker 7: You could trade the pick, and the consensus is that

665
00:31:42,160 --> 00:31:44,480
Speaker 7: that is now worth more than the first overall pick

666
00:31:44,520 --> 00:31:47,080
Speaker 7: what was last year, Which should also tell you something

667
00:31:47,120 --> 00:31:49,360
Speaker 7: though that these are clamoring to get their hands on

668
00:31:49,880 --> 00:31:53,040
Speaker 7: Caleb Williams. Oh yeah, but say you did go that route,

669
00:31:53,080 --> 00:31:55,840
Speaker 7: and say you did trade those picks and you kept

670
00:31:55,960 --> 00:31:58,960
Speaker 7: justin field. Now you are not only rolling the die,

671
00:31:59,080 --> 00:32:01,480
Speaker 7: like if you if you take a quarterback, you're rolling

672
00:32:01,520 --> 00:32:04,840
Speaker 7: the dice. Yeah, if you trade down, you are rolling

673
00:32:04,880 --> 00:32:07,400
Speaker 7: the dice with every other pick that you have. And

674
00:32:07,840 --> 00:32:10,959
Speaker 7: it depends on just how confident you are in your

675
00:32:10,960 --> 00:32:14,240
Speaker 7: evaluation and how close do you think this team is

676
00:32:14,280 --> 00:32:16,280
Speaker 7: and if you think that you have the coaching staff

677
00:32:16,680 --> 00:32:19,840
Speaker 7: to get these young picks up to speed so that

678
00:32:19,880 --> 00:32:22,160
Speaker 7: you guys can actually be in contention as soon as

679
00:32:22,160 --> 00:32:25,800
Speaker 7: this coming year. And that's the other dynamic that we

680
00:32:25,920 --> 00:32:28,520
Speaker 7: haven't even talked about here. There's so many different dynamics

681
00:32:28,520 --> 00:32:32,400
Speaker 7: of this. But is Matt Eberflus there for the long term? Yeah, look,

682
00:32:32,440 --> 00:32:35,520
Speaker 7: getting the offensive coordinator, is he there for the long term?

683
00:32:35,760 --> 00:32:37,840
Speaker 7: Or if you keep fields, are you putting him in

684
00:32:37,880 --> 00:32:41,040
Speaker 7: this third system? In four years. There is so much

685
00:32:41,120 --> 00:32:43,160
Speaker 7: that goes into this decision, and like you guys said,

686
00:32:43,200 --> 00:32:44,720
Speaker 7: I am so glad I don't have to make it.

687
00:32:44,920 --> 00:32:48,120
Speaker 2: And like, if you don't take Caleb Williams and you

688
00:32:48,240 --> 00:32:50,440
Speaker 2: trade that pick away and he turns out to be

689
00:32:50,600 --> 00:32:54,680
Speaker 2: this generational talent that everyone's talking about and you didn't

690
00:32:54,760 --> 00:32:56,920
Speaker 2: take him, I mean that's career ending.

691
00:32:57,000 --> 00:32:58,360
Speaker 4: It is, that's career ending.

692
00:32:58,480 --> 00:33:01,600
Speaker 7: Yep, all right, I already passed on Pat mahomes by

693
00:33:01,840 --> 00:33:07,920
Speaker 7: breaking up one spot for Mitch Sabiki the I mean

694
00:33:08,280 --> 00:33:12,040
Speaker 7: you yes, this is this, This single decision is going

695
00:33:12,040 --> 00:33:15,800
Speaker 7: to determine Ryan Hoolds's career and future with the Shadow Bears.

696
00:33:15,880 --> 00:33:18,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, let's let's talk about the Lions because

697
00:33:18,360 --> 00:33:23,040
Speaker 2: they got robbed last robbed. When a call as dramatic

698
00:33:23,200 --> 00:33:26,760
Speaker 2: and heartbreaking as that happens, it can affect a team

699
00:33:26,800 --> 00:33:28,600
Speaker 2: in a lot of different ways. Do you think this

700
00:33:28,880 --> 00:33:31,880
Speaker 2: fuels them or destroys them heading into the playoffs?

701
00:33:32,080 --> 00:33:32,320
Speaker 11: Oh?

702
00:33:32,440 --> 00:33:34,680
Speaker 7: No, this fuels them. I mean if you saw the

703
00:33:34,760 --> 00:33:37,080
Speaker 7: kid the press conference from Dan Campbell the next day,

704
00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:39,560
Speaker 7: Oh yeah, I think he called it controlled Siri.

705
00:33:39,720 --> 00:33:39,960
Speaker 4: He did.

706
00:33:41,080 --> 00:33:43,680
Speaker 7: And the thing is Dan Campbell is if there's a

707
00:33:43,720 --> 00:33:45,960
Speaker 7: silver lining to come out of this situation. It is

708
00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:48,960
Speaker 7: that Dan Campbell is the exact kind of coach and

709
00:33:49,040 --> 00:33:52,200
Speaker 7: write coach to harness something like that and use it

710
00:33:52,200 --> 00:33:54,240
Speaker 7: for fuel and use it for motivation, and that per

711
00:33:54,320 --> 00:33:56,800
Speaker 7: meates throughout that locker room, throughout that coaching staff, throughout

712
00:33:56,800 --> 00:34:00,200
Speaker 7: the front office for that matter. These guys are more

713
00:34:00,280 --> 00:34:04,120
Speaker 7: motivated than ever, and especially if this ends up costing

714
00:34:04,160 --> 00:34:06,400
Speaker 7: them seating or anything like that, they are going to

715
00:34:06,440 --> 00:34:09,759
Speaker 7: have this massive chip on their shoulder, and rightfully so.

716
00:34:10,480 --> 00:34:12,640
Speaker 7: And I can't wait to see if that kind of

717
00:34:12,680 --> 00:34:15,880
Speaker 7: propels them and motivates them not only this week but

718
00:34:15,920 --> 00:34:17,120
Speaker 7: then into the playoffs.

719
00:34:18,520 --> 00:34:19,319
Speaker 4: I'm excited for that.

720
00:34:19,360 --> 00:34:22,640
Speaker 2: But we also got Packers versus Bears tomorrow. Huge both

721
00:34:22,680 --> 00:34:25,600
Speaker 2: have a lot to prove. Packers win and they are

722
00:34:25,880 --> 00:34:28,640
Speaker 2: in this could be, you know, a big deal for

723
00:34:28,680 --> 00:34:31,520
Speaker 2: their first season with Jordan Love, but the Bears also

724
00:34:31,560 --> 00:34:33,400
Speaker 2: have a lot on the play as we just talked about,

725
00:34:33,480 --> 00:34:39,280
Speaker 2: with Justin Fields kind of playing for his career. Who

726
00:34:39,320 --> 00:34:40,920
Speaker 2: would this win be bigger for.

727
00:34:43,160 --> 00:34:45,959
Speaker 7: It's hard to say, honestly, because you are talking about

728
00:34:46,040 --> 00:34:49,120
Speaker 7: if the jury is still out and if this game

729
00:34:49,400 --> 00:34:54,240
Speaker 7: truly matters, which Bears ownership is so highly bought into

730
00:34:54,239 --> 00:34:58,520
Speaker 7: this rivalry. They are harder franchise of the NFL. They

731
00:34:58,560 --> 00:35:01,839
Speaker 7: take this so serious. So while Ryan Poles may want

732
00:35:01,880 --> 00:35:04,719
Speaker 7: to take the step back, and while he may not

733
00:35:04,800 --> 00:35:07,880
Speaker 7: want to have this game be determinate of anything long term,

734
00:35:08,320 --> 00:35:11,000
Speaker 7: I don't know that ownership will quite frankly let him. No,

735
00:35:11,520 --> 00:35:15,560
Speaker 7: they are very Again, I could see that happening with

736
00:35:15,600 --> 00:35:17,680
Speaker 7: this franchise because of how much this game means, and

737
00:35:17,719 --> 00:35:20,920
Speaker 7: so from that perspective, if this game is going to

738
00:35:20,960 --> 00:35:23,960
Speaker 7: have a domino effect on this franchise for years to come,

739
00:35:24,960 --> 00:35:27,000
Speaker 7: I kind of lean the Bears. But at the same time,

740
00:35:28,280 --> 00:35:30,000
Speaker 7: I think the same can be said about the Green

741
00:35:30,040 --> 00:35:33,439
Speaker 7: Bay Packers, and Jordan Love has the opportunity to do

742
00:35:33,520 --> 00:35:36,799
Speaker 7: something that Aaron Rodgers couldn't do last year. Jordan Love's

743
00:35:36,800 --> 00:35:40,200
Speaker 7: stats are better, he has a better record. At this point,

744
00:35:40,560 --> 00:35:42,640
Speaker 7: he could have a better record and could get himself

745
00:35:42,640 --> 00:35:45,799
Speaker 7: into the postseason where Aaron Rodgers couldn't. And that could

746
00:35:45,840 --> 00:35:50,360
Speaker 7: go so far with everybody around that Green Bay organization,

747
00:35:50,400 --> 00:35:54,120
Speaker 7: including the fans, saying listen, we're good, I have this,

748
00:35:54,440 --> 00:35:57,279
Speaker 7: I'm taking care of us. Jordan Love is here and

749
00:35:57,320 --> 00:35:59,759
Speaker 7: he is the future of this franchise, and you don't

750
00:35:59,760 --> 00:36:02,480
Speaker 7: have to worry. We are still We're getting right back

751
00:36:02,480 --> 00:36:04,759
Speaker 7: into the mix of this thing, because it's sure as heck.

752
00:36:04,880 --> 00:36:07,120
Speaker 7: Looks like the Green Bay Packers are going to be

753
00:36:07,160 --> 00:36:09,600
Speaker 7: able to contend with the division as soon as next year.

754
00:36:09,920 --> 00:36:11,520
Speaker 7: If this plays from Jordan Love keeps.

755
00:36:11,360 --> 00:36:13,440
Speaker 4: Up right, that's so crazy. I love all of this.

756
00:36:13,560 --> 00:36:17,080
Speaker 2: Carmen, thank you for always being so amazing on our show.

00:36:43,600 --> 00:36:47,480
Speaker 4: It is rainy, Rayne me I got.

768
00:36:48,040 --> 00:36:49,799
Speaker 2: We'll let you know if anything happens, if there's any

769
00:36:49,800 --> 00:36:52,000
Speaker 2: score in this game, But for right now, it is

770
00:36:52,080 --> 00:36:54,240
Speaker 2: time for the Dues and the don'ts.

771
00:36:54,440 --> 00:36:59,160
Speaker 1: In highlighting. Oh I love that putting a spotlight on

772
00:36:59,200 --> 00:36:59,720
Speaker 1: the don'ts.

773
00:37:00,120 --> 00:37:01,719
Speaker 4: This subject brings me no joy.

774
00:37:02,960 --> 00:37:03,879
Speaker 3: Are you on crack?

775
00:37:04,120 --> 00:37:07,040
Speaker 1: It's time for the dues and the don'ts in sports?

776

Speaker 2: All right, I'm gonna get started with a do he do?

777
00:37:11,160 --> 00:37:15,720
Speaker 2: Did we just become best friend? Yeah? Will Ferrell does

778
00:37:15,920 --> 00:37:22,920
Speaker 2: the La King's JumboTron yelling go Kings Go. It happens

779
00:37:22,920 --> 00:37:26,120
Speaker 2: like towards the end of the season. Playoff pushes things

780
00:37:26,160 --> 00:37:27,640
Speaker 2: like that to get the crowd pumped up.

781
00:37:27,680 --> 00:37:30,799
Speaker 4: And this week it was Dodger's Night at the La King.

782
00:37:30,960 --> 00:37:33,960
Speaker 2: So Will was sitting next to Mookie Betts and his

783
00:37:34,080 --> 00:37:34,640
Speaker 2: part came.

784
00:37:34,520 --> 00:37:37,880
Speaker 4: On the JumboTron. Will started screaming the go Kings go.

785
00:37:38,040 --> 00:37:41,120
Speaker 2: With him screaming on the JumboTron, Mooki came in and

786
00:37:41,200 --> 00:37:43,799
Speaker 2: it was just it was so awesome. It was like

787
00:37:44,239 --> 00:37:46,600
Speaker 2: the match we didn't know we needed. I've actually been

788
00:37:46,640 --> 00:37:49,279
Speaker 2: lucky enough to watch Will film one of these when

789
00:37:49,320 --> 00:37:51,600
Speaker 2: I used to be sidelined for the La Kings and

790
00:37:51,640 --> 00:37:53,319
Speaker 2: he came in like one of the locker rooms where

791
00:37:53,320 --> 00:37:56,200
Speaker 2: I was doing like my pre pre show work, and

792
00:37:56,239 --> 00:37:58,080
Speaker 2: he came in and he asked me, he's like takes

793
00:37:58,080 --> 00:37:58,560
Speaker 2: off his hat.

794
00:37:58,600 --> 00:38:02,080
Speaker 4: He goes, Alex, hows my hair. I was like, hat hair,

795
00:38:02,239 --> 00:38:03,560
Speaker 4: He's like perfect.

796
00:38:03,360 --> 00:38:05,000
Speaker 2: And then just kind of shock it like walck a

797
00:38:05,040 --> 00:38:06,920
Speaker 2: camera and that like immediately got the character.

798
00:38:06,960 --> 00:38:09,440
Speaker 4: I was like, I'm not surprised. I love you. I'm

799
00:38:09,440 --> 00:38:11,080
Speaker 4: not surprise you're one of my favors. Okay, what do

00:38:11,080 --> 00:38:11,359
Speaker 4: you guys?

801
00:38:11,360 --> 00:38:14,560
Speaker 3: All right, I got a big do all right, defend

802
00:38:14,719 --> 00:38:19,480
Speaker 3: your players at all costs. Last night, Grizzly Lakers.

803
00:38:19,160 --> 00:38:23,000
Speaker 12: Going at it, a loose ball, Jaron Jackson, junior, Lebron

804
00:38:23,120 --> 00:38:26,040
Speaker 12: James go for it. It looks like Lebron James maybe

805
00:38:26,080 --> 00:38:28,319
Speaker 12: does a little shove, a little elbow. That was in

806
00:38:28,400 --> 00:38:30,880
Speaker 12: front of Grizzly's head coach Taylor Jenkins.

807
00:38:31,120 --> 00:38:34,840
Speaker 3: He stormed on the court, started yelling people how to

808
00:38:34,880 --> 00:38:37,520
Speaker 3: back him up. And I was like, that's the type

809
00:38:37,560 --> 00:38:41,200
Speaker 3: of coach I would want. Because after the game he apologized.

810
00:38:41,239 --> 00:38:43,239
Speaker 3: He said I shouldn't have done that. I told Darvin Ham,

811
00:38:43,239 --> 00:38:45,399
Speaker 3: I shouldn't have done that. He got a technical. Nothing

812
00:38:45,440 --> 00:38:45,799
Speaker 3: happens to.

813
00:38:45,880 --> 00:38:50,680
Speaker 4: Lebron or anything like that. Grizzlies win. Player, Like, thank you,

814
00:38:50,719 --> 00:38:52,680
Speaker 4: that's my leader, that's my Like, that is.

815
00:38:52,600 --> 00:38:56,080
Speaker 3: The type of coach that you want even though you

816
00:38:56,120 --> 00:38:57,839
Speaker 3: know you're not supposed to do that, he still did it.

817
00:38:58,120 --> 00:39:01,520
Speaker 4: I love that, all right. I have a dude, Fans

818
00:39:01,960 --> 00:39:03,360
Speaker 4: always stand by your team.

819
00:39:03,880 --> 00:39:08,680
Speaker 2: After that crazy Cowboys win and heartbreaking loss for the Lions,

820
00:39:09,160 --> 00:39:14,200
Speaker 2: billboards went up in Detroit, saying in quotes, Decker reported

821
00:39:14,880 --> 00:39:18,040
Speaker 2: like he should have been reported eligible for the cast. Yeah,

822
00:39:18,040 --> 00:39:21,279
Speaker 2: and then another one that crossed out their curt record eleven.

823
00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:24,560
Speaker 4: And five and put twelve and four. That's so good.

824
00:39:24,560 --> 00:39:27,719
Speaker 2: Giant billboards never change, Detroit fans never changed.

825
00:39:27,960 --> 00:39:31,759
Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree with that. Speaking of giant screens and billboards,

826
00:39:31,760 --> 00:39:35,080
Speaker 3: I have a dude. Play video games on the biggest

827
00:39:34,840 --> 00:39:39,480
Speaker 3: can find someone on social media posted a video of

828
00:39:39,560 --> 00:39:42,200
Speaker 3: the big screen at Fenway and they were like, I

829
00:39:42,239 --> 00:39:44,839
Speaker 3: don't I don't want to snitch, but somebody's playing Fortnite.

830
00:39:44,920 --> 00:39:46,399
Speaker 3: And I thought that was so.

831
00:39:47,360 --> 00:39:50,400
Speaker 2: For me, it was incredible. If Lebron even like tweeted

832
00:39:50,440 --> 00:39:52,800
Speaker 2: at it was like so good, Hey, let me in

833
00:39:54,120 --> 00:39:57,160
Speaker 2: your cart on that right, that would be insane. That

834
00:39:57,160 --> 00:39:58,000
Speaker 2: would be incredible.

835
00:39:58,040 --> 00:40:00,560
Speaker 4: Okay. I have another dude, do take care of your people.

Speaker 2: have Bills insider Maddy glab joining us at the bottom

892
00:42:18,120 --> 00:42:21,840
Speaker 2: of the hour to break down the game of the weekend,

893
00:42:22,040 --> 00:42:24,919
Speaker 2: Bills at Dolphins. So many questions there, and we're gonna

894
00:42:24,920 --> 00:42:29,080
Speaker 2: have our NFL picks later. But let's let's get started

895
00:42:29,080 --> 00:42:31,960
Speaker 2: with a new game here. Okay, okay, it's called the

896
00:42:31,960 --> 00:42:39,040
Speaker 2: coaching hot Seaton. Now, the Monday after the regular season ends,

897
00:42:39,239 --> 00:42:42,040
Speaker 2: it's doomsday for NFL coaches. We also have like the

898
00:42:42,120 --> 00:42:45,080
Speaker 2: National Championship Game that night, but for the NFL, it

899
00:42:45,200 --> 00:42:48,480
Speaker 2: is doomsday for coaches. Now, we've already had three teams

900
00:42:48,480 --> 00:42:51,439
Speaker 2: fire their head coaches during the regular season.

901
00:42:52,640 --> 00:42:55,440
Speaker 4: Chargers, Panthers, Raiders. But it feels like we have a

902
00:42:55,440 --> 00:42:56,160
Speaker 4: lot more coming.

903
00:42:56,280 --> 00:42:59,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, So we're gonna go through a few the coaches

904
00:42:59,600 --> 00:43:02,640
Speaker 2: who'sames have been floating in the media that they may

905
00:43:02,719 --> 00:43:06,160
Speaker 2: be let go, and we're gonna share how hot we

906
00:43:06,160 --> 00:43:09,960
Speaker 2: think their seed is burning, hot, warm, cold.

907
00:43:10,400 --> 00:43:12,080
Speaker 4: You can kind of give it whatever you want. Sure,

908
00:43:13,440 --> 00:43:15,640
Speaker 4: let's get started with Bill Belichick.

909
00:43:15,800 --> 00:43:19,480
Speaker 2: Right, I'm gonna say burning, you're saying Berne saying burning.

910
00:43:19,840 --> 00:43:22,200
Speaker 2: I feel like his time in New England.

911
00:43:22,320 --> 00:43:23,200
Speaker 4: Should be over.

912
00:43:23,360 --> 00:43:26,200
Speaker 2: It's been reported that Bill already has a final meeting

913
00:43:26,239 --> 00:43:29,040
Speaker 2: scheduled with Robert Kraft on Monday.

914
00:43:29,160 --> 00:43:31,440
Speaker 4: Now, I don't think he's gonna be fired.

915
00:43:31,680 --> 00:43:35,439
Speaker 2: I think it would be a mutual agreement for Bill

916
00:43:35,520 --> 00:43:39,280
Speaker 2: to explore other options because this has been the worst

917
00:43:39,280 --> 00:43:42,640
Speaker 2: season of his career. He has gone from a dynasty

918
00:43:42,680 --> 00:43:45,279
Speaker 2: with Tom Brady to a disaster since he's left. He

919
00:43:45,320 --> 00:43:48,359
Speaker 2: hasn't won a playoff game since Brady left, and it

920
00:43:48,440 --> 00:43:50,719
Speaker 2: used to be a failed season for the Patriots if

921
00:43:50,760 --> 00:43:55,600
Speaker 2: they weren't in or winning a Super Bowl. I also

922
00:43:55,600 --> 00:43:59,279
Speaker 2: want to say what's happening now doesn't take away from

923
00:43:59,280 --> 00:44:01,839
Speaker 2: the incredible court that he has had with the Patriots.

924
00:44:01,960 --> 00:44:04,320
Speaker 2: Right He's been with the Patriots for twenty four years.

925
00:44:05,160 --> 00:44:07,360
Speaker 2: That's a really long time. It also doesn't mean that

926
00:44:07,400 --> 00:44:08,680
Speaker 2: he can't go somewhere else.

927
00:44:08,520 --> 00:44:09,440
Speaker 4: And be successful.

928
00:44:11,840 --> 00:44:12,200
Speaker 3: Burning.

929
00:44:12,520 --> 00:44:14,080
Speaker 4: It's just it's burning.

930
00:44:14,120 --> 00:44:17,759
Speaker 2: He is one of the greatest coaches of all time,

931
00:44:17,840 --> 00:44:20,480
Speaker 2: if not the greatest. But you have to remember this

932
00:44:20,520 --> 00:44:23,400
Speaker 2: is a billion dollar business and you can't keep someone

933
00:44:23,440 --> 00:44:26,040
Speaker 2: for what they've done for you in the past. When

934
00:44:26,080 --> 00:44:31,000
Speaker 2: the last four seasons have been embarrassing, Sure, for the brand,

935
00:44:31,200 --> 00:44:34,600
Speaker 2: especially when you wore the dynasty when you had him

936
00:44:34,640 --> 00:44:35,560
Speaker 2: and Tom Brady together.

937
00:44:35,600 --> 00:44:38,360
Speaker 4: So I'm going to say Bill's seat is burning.

938
00:44:38,480 --> 00:44:40,480
Speaker 3: I'm actually going to say it's just a little warm.

939
00:44:40,640 --> 00:44:42,279
Speaker 4: Actually, oh you think he might.

940
00:44:42,560 --> 00:44:45,520
Speaker 3: I've been saying this. We've had this conversation once or

941
00:44:45,560 --> 00:44:48,759
Speaker 3: twice before already. There's a couple of reasons, a lot

942
00:44:48,800 --> 00:44:51,320
Speaker 3: of the things of what you just mentioned twenty four years,

943
00:44:51,360 --> 00:44:54,720
Speaker 3: a legacy, a staple, an icon, and that's what happens

944
00:44:54,719 --> 00:44:58,080
Speaker 3: when you lose Tom Brady, Like you can't just keep

945
00:44:58,400 --> 00:45:00,399
Speaker 3: having success. It's going to go down.

946
00:45:00,440 --> 00:45:03,200
Speaker 4: But he's also the GM and drastic Matt.

947
00:45:03,600 --> 00:45:07,600
Speaker 3: Now right, that was maybe not his best decision. Does

948
00:45:07,680 --> 00:45:11,319
Speaker 3: he maybe step down from being the GM? But here's

949
00:45:11,320 --> 00:45:13,040
Speaker 3: the thing, He's not going to do. Nothing has been

950
00:45:13,120 --> 00:45:15,040
Speaker 3: said by the two most important sides.

951
00:45:15,200 --> 00:45:15,520
Speaker 7: Nothing.

952
00:45:15,760 --> 00:45:17,959
Speaker 3: Robert Kraft doesn't say anything. Bill Belichick hasn't say anything.

953
00:45:17,960 --> 00:45:19,919
Speaker 3: But you know what we do know that we found

954
00:45:19,960 --> 00:45:22,640
Speaker 3: out mid season that he signed an extension. We don't

955
00:45:22,640 --> 00:45:23,799
Speaker 3: even know how much years.

956
00:45:23,800 --> 00:45:25,680
Speaker 2: Do you know, though, is he did tell his coaching

957
00:45:25,680 --> 00:45:30,239
Speaker 2: staff he's unsure the future, right, But obviously things move

958
00:45:30,320 --> 00:45:32,120
Speaker 2: something behind closed doors.

959
00:45:31,920 --> 00:45:33,080
Speaker 3: And they can keep it close to the chest.

960
00:45:33,160 --> 00:45:35,279
Speaker 2: Well, Patriots usually keep it tight, right, so if they

961
00:45:35,400 --> 00:45:36,879
Speaker 2: want it out, it's going to get out.

962
00:45:36,920 --> 00:45:39,680
Speaker 3: But the fact that he signed an extension and we

963
00:45:39,680 --> 00:45:42,520
Speaker 3: didn't know about it until later. I yes, he did

964
00:45:42,520 --> 00:45:44,680
Speaker 3: tell his people, or that's the story that he told

965
00:45:44,680 --> 00:45:46,520
Speaker 3: people close to him that he wasn't sure if he

966
00:45:46,600 --> 00:45:50,040
Speaker 3: was going to come back. But I don't see how

967
00:45:51,400 --> 00:45:53,840
Speaker 3: you can't put the soul blame on him. The roster

968
00:45:54,040 --> 00:45:57,400
Speaker 3: wasn't strong in comparison to all the other rosters that

969
00:45:57,480 --> 00:45:59,920
Speaker 3: we saw this year. It wasn't a strong raw.

970
00:46:00,360 --> 00:46:01,880
Speaker 2: You can put the blame on him because he is

971
00:46:01,920 --> 00:46:04,600
Speaker 2: also the GM, but even he is the coach. Yeah,

972
00:46:04,640 --> 00:46:07,239
Speaker 2: and he's the GM, so yeah, the blame is on him.

973
00:46:07,320 --> 00:46:09,239
Speaker 3: No, No, but the players still have to execute. If

974
00:46:09,280 --> 00:46:12,080
Speaker 3: I believe in you draft, I believe it.

975
00:46:12,160 --> 00:46:14,600
Speaker 4: Don't have a great history of drafting offensive players.

976
00:46:14,960 --> 00:46:16,680
Speaker 3: But but you were saying, like, if I draft you,

977
00:46:16,760 --> 00:46:18,480
Speaker 3: Alex Kurr, because I think you have the potential, and

978
00:46:18,520 --> 00:46:21,000
Speaker 3: then you go out there and you're not what I thought, Like, yeah,

979
00:46:21,000 --> 00:46:23,080
Speaker 3: that's my fault, but you also did not do what

980
00:46:23,120 --> 00:46:26,560
Speaker 3: I expected. So I just I don't think the sole blame.

981
00:46:27,040 --> 00:46:28,880
Speaker 3: I don't think it's on Bill Belichick, but he's.

982
00:46:28,719 --> 00:46:31,520
Speaker 4: Still the greatest defensive coach of our time. Yeah.

983
00:46:31,600 --> 00:46:34,000
Speaker 3: So, and they also have weird wins this year, like

984
00:46:34,080 --> 00:46:35,000
Speaker 3: against good teams.

985
00:46:35,160 --> 00:46:37,600
Speaker 2: You're like, oh, and you know what, they could go

986
00:46:37,719 --> 00:46:45,080
Speaker 2: out on top, like playing the Jets and they yet

987
00:46:45,320 --> 00:46:50,360
Speaker 2: that would be a if this is the end, that

988
00:46:50,400 --> 00:46:53,239
Speaker 2: would be a very nice way for him to go out. Okay,

989
00:46:53,440 --> 00:46:58,120
Speaker 2: so let's move on to Ron Rivera in Washington. I'm

990
00:46:58,120 --> 00:46:58,880
Speaker 2: gonna say its hot.

991
00:46:59,239 --> 00:47:00,000
Speaker 4: This is a hot seat.

992
00:47:00,120 --> 00:47:03,120
Speaker 2: This has also been the worst season of his coaching career,

993
00:47:03,120 --> 00:47:06,239
Speaker 2: and it's it's not been pretty four and twelve. And

994
00:47:06,280 --> 00:47:08,920
Speaker 2: his side of the ball is also defense. He is

995
00:47:09,120 --> 00:47:12,319
Speaker 2: thirty second, that's last in points allowed per game and

996
00:47:12,840 --> 00:47:16,399
Speaker 2: yards allowed per game. That just can't happen when you're

997
00:47:16,440 --> 00:47:20,160
Speaker 2: a defensive coach. They traded away their two biggest defensive

998
00:47:20,280 --> 00:47:24,640
Speaker 2: pieces at the deadline, so they're obviously in a rebuild stage.

999
00:47:26,960 --> 00:47:30,600
Speaker 2: I don't think it's looking good for Ron and I

1000
00:47:30,640 --> 00:47:32,680
Speaker 2: which sucks because he's like a great human.

1001
00:47:32,719 --> 00:47:35,120
Speaker 4: A lot of these coach like he is, like you liked,

1002
00:47:35,200 --> 00:47:37,680
Speaker 4: he's so likable. Yeah, he's so likable.

1003
00:47:38,320 --> 00:47:41,680
Speaker 2: But yeah, I mean he's playing like he's what they're

1004
00:47:41,680 --> 00:47:45,600
Speaker 2: playing the Cowboys. Cowboys are playing for the NFC East

1005
00:47:45,840 --> 00:47:48,439
Speaker 2: title and home field advantage, so they're not resting anyone.

1006
00:47:48,520 --> 00:47:52,040
Speaker 2: It's going to be full speed for the postseasons. He

1007
00:47:52,080 --> 00:47:54,520
Speaker 2: could even be fired after that game Sunday if they

1008
00:47:54,840 --> 00:47:57,520
Speaker 2: have a gnarly lost name might not wait, Toll.

1009
00:47:57,400 --> 00:48:00,200
Speaker 3: I think it's more day Sunday. I think it's birthday day.

1010
00:48:00,239 --> 00:48:02,560
Speaker 3: That's hard, So let's let's hope it's not Sunday.

1011
00:48:02,680 --> 00:48:02,879
Speaker 4: Heart.

1012
00:48:03,400 --> 00:48:04,480
Speaker 3: It's either Sunday or Monday.

1013
00:48:04,480 --> 00:48:06,840
Speaker 4: But I know his birthday. It's like, this is going

1014
00:48:06,920 --> 00:48:07,640
Speaker 4: to be a brutal birthday.

1015
00:48:07,760 --> 00:48:10,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, So I agree his seat is burning hot.

1016
00:48:10,560 --> 00:48:11,440
Speaker 4: Yea, he is in.

1017
00:48:11,880 --> 00:48:14,879
Speaker 3: He's in a tough spot. Not just was his team

1018
00:48:15,160 --> 00:48:18,080
Speaker 3: not executing when he has a defensive mind. Yeah, but

1019
00:48:18,360 --> 00:48:20,359
Speaker 3: the whole drama with the ownership, it's like, it's an

1020
00:48:20,360 --> 00:48:22,480
Speaker 3: ownership that didn't pick you. It's an ownership that has

1021
00:48:22,480 --> 00:48:24,440
Speaker 3: a lot of money and is going to throw money

1022
00:48:24,719 --> 00:48:25,719
Speaker 3: at whatever they want.

1023
00:48:25,800 --> 00:48:28,480
Speaker 2: You know what, you ownership, you want to control, you

1024
00:48:28,520 --> 00:48:31,480
Speaker 2: want to pick your people. It's just it's an unfortunate.

1025
00:48:31,120 --> 00:48:35,480
Speaker 3: He is an unfortunate situation. But I'm burning, like, yeah,

1026
00:48:35,600 --> 00:48:38,440
Speaker 3: he's out the door. Unfortunately. I just I think his

1027
00:48:38,480 --> 00:48:40,200
Speaker 3: birthday Sunday, so hopefully it's not Sunday.

1028
00:48:40,200 --> 00:48:42,319
Speaker 4: Oh man, Okay, next coach.

1029
00:48:42,360 --> 00:48:43,920
Speaker 2: And this one's been kind of weird because it's been

1030
00:48:43,960 --> 00:48:47,120
Speaker 2: floating around the media circuit and it just feels weird

1031
00:48:47,120 --> 00:48:51,040
Speaker 2: that it is Mike Tomlin Steelers. I think it's cold.

1032
00:48:51,560 --> 00:48:55,719
Speaker 2: He just secured his seventeenth consecutive non losing season. That

1033
00:48:55,880 --> 00:49:01,320
Speaker 2: is insane. That's that's legendary. And the issue isn't Mike Tomlin.

1034
00:49:01,360 --> 00:49:04,319
Speaker 2: I mean, they still have a chance this season to

1035
00:49:04,320 --> 00:49:06,919
Speaker 2: make it into the postseason. They're beating the Ravens right

1036
00:49:06,960 --> 00:49:10,239
Speaker 2: now seven to nothing. I mean, they also need some

1037
00:49:10,280 --> 00:49:12,759
Speaker 2: help to make it happen. But the issues they don't

1038
00:49:12,760 --> 00:49:14,799
Speaker 2: have a franchise quarterback right now. Kenny Pickett is not

1039
00:49:14,840 --> 00:49:18,680
Speaker 2: their long term solution. And like even like looking ahead

1040
00:49:18,719 --> 00:49:21,719
Speaker 2: like there right now in the draft order that like

1041
00:49:21,760 --> 00:49:24,800
Speaker 2: they're middle of the pack currently eighteenth, so they're not

1042
00:49:24,840 --> 00:49:26,600
Speaker 2: going to get one of the top quarterbacks unless they

1043
00:49:26,680 --> 00:49:27,160
Speaker 2: trade up.

1044
00:49:27,160 --> 00:49:29,680
Speaker 4: But I don't feel like Mike Tomlin is the issue here.

1045
00:49:29,760 --> 00:49:32,160
Speaker 3: I have also put down cold and I guess to

1046
00:49:32,200 --> 00:49:34,239
Speaker 3: Mike Tomlin, and I think kind of like what I

1047
00:49:34,280 --> 00:49:38,000
Speaker 3: said about Bill with the Patriots. He's a staple when

1048
00:49:38,040 --> 00:49:40,040
Speaker 3: it comes to the Steelers.

1049
00:49:39,560 --> 00:49:42,480
Speaker 2: From eighteenth consecutive non losing season.

1050
00:49:42,520 --> 00:49:43,200
Speaker 3: You can't make that up.

1051
00:49:43,200 --> 00:49:43,879
Speaker 4: That's a great bible.

1052
00:49:44,000 --> 00:49:45,600
Speaker 3: He can't control that, you know what I mean. There's

1053
00:49:45,600 --> 00:49:47,719
Speaker 3: so many factors for him to be able to say that.

1054
00:49:48,080 --> 00:49:50,560
Speaker 3: And like you said, Kenny Pickett did not make the

1055
00:49:50,680 --> 00:49:54,640
Speaker 3: leap that people may have expected this season. And what

1056
00:49:54,880 --> 00:49:57,879
Speaker 3: was rough because obviously the defense has always been good

1057
00:49:57,880 --> 00:49:59,960
Speaker 3: for the Steelers, that's always been part of their identity,

1058
00:50:00,040 --> 00:50:04,799
Speaker 3: the Steelers defense. It was a rough offensive season and

1059
00:50:04,880 --> 00:50:09,200
Speaker 3: when where Matt Canada's offensive play calling wasn't working obviously,

1060
00:50:09,640 --> 00:50:13,400
Speaker 3: you know. So I'm with you. He is not the

1061
00:50:13,560 --> 00:50:16,640
Speaker 3: reason that things weren't working. He's a big reason why

1062
00:50:16,680 --> 00:50:19,719
Speaker 3: they're still in it. Yeah, so I anybody who had

1063
00:50:19,760 --> 00:50:22,160
Speaker 3: said halfway through the season, because this has been a

1064
00:50:22,160 --> 00:50:25,480
Speaker 3: topic of conversation because remember they lost to the Cardinals,

1065
00:50:25,640 --> 00:50:27,920
Speaker 3: they lost to the Patriots and back to back weeks,

1066
00:50:28,080 --> 00:50:29,759
Speaker 3: and so a lot of people were calling for his

1067
00:50:29,880 --> 00:50:33,080
Speaker 3: job and it's like, no, you guys are jumping the

1068
00:50:33,120 --> 00:50:35,680
Speaker 3: gun on Mike Tomlin right now when he's doing his job.

1069
00:50:35,760 --> 00:50:39,839
Speaker 2: So I'm with you, cold Okay, Matt Aberflus the Bears. Yes,

1070
00:50:40,480 --> 00:50:44,880
Speaker 2: I'm gonna say lukewarm because the Bears have a lot

1071
00:50:44,920 --> 00:50:46,920
Speaker 2: of decisions to make and there are so many different

1072
00:50:46,920 --> 00:50:49,640
Speaker 2: directions that they can go. We just talked to Carmen Vitali,

1073
00:50:49,719 --> 00:50:53,279
Speaker 2: the NFC North insider for Fox Sports, and she said

1074
00:50:53,280 --> 00:50:56,480
Speaker 2: they've been keeping it extremely close to the chest. Are

1075
00:50:56,480 --> 00:50:58,799
Speaker 2: they going to move off justin fields? Are they going

1076
00:50:58,840 --> 00:51:00,960
Speaker 2: to keep that number one over draft pick and take

1077
00:51:01,040 --> 00:51:04,160
Speaker 2: Caleb Williams? Are they gonna keep Matt Eberflus, And if

1078
00:51:04,200 --> 00:51:06,880
Speaker 2: they get Caleb Williams, maybe give them another chance to

1079
00:51:06,920 --> 00:51:12,359
Speaker 2: see if he can work with him. I they're ending

1080
00:51:12,360 --> 00:51:13,280
Speaker 2: their season strong.

1081
00:51:13,360 --> 00:51:14,800
Speaker 4: They've won four of their last five.

1082
00:51:14,880 --> 00:51:17,160
Speaker 2: Their defense has been great his side of the ball,

1083
00:51:17,200 --> 00:51:20,040
Speaker 2: they've given up the fewest points allowed per game since

1084
00:51:20,120 --> 00:51:26,239
Speaker 2: Week twelve. I think again, I We're gonna dive into

1085
00:51:26,280 --> 00:51:32,160
Speaker 2: this a little deeper in about ten minutes, but I

1086
00:51:32,200 --> 00:51:34,080
Speaker 2: the Bears have a lot of decisions to make. I

1087
00:51:34,120 --> 00:51:36,799
Speaker 2: don't think it's going to be letting go of Matt

1088
00:51:36,800 --> 00:51:38,880
Speaker 2: Eberflus this offseason.

1089
00:51:38,960 --> 00:51:41,640
Speaker 3: So I agree with you. There's a lot of questions

1090
00:51:41,640 --> 00:51:45,799
Speaker 3: surrounding the Bears. I put warm as well with Matt Eberflus.

1091
00:51:46,160 --> 00:51:49,560
Speaker 3: I feel like they probably want to kind of create

1092
00:51:49,560 --> 00:51:53,279
Speaker 3: a bit of a stable environment. Yeah, you know, like

1093
00:51:53,560 --> 00:51:56,880
Speaker 3: let's try it again with you. You've had success at

1094
00:51:56,920 --> 00:52:00,799
Speaker 3: the end of the year. Maybe we keep Justine, add

1095
00:52:00,880 --> 00:52:03,759
Speaker 3: some players the success keeps going. Maybe we bring in

1096
00:52:03,800 --> 00:52:07,080
Speaker 3: Caleb Williams. The success keeps going. But I don't think

1097
00:52:07,160 --> 00:52:09,520
Speaker 3: he is on his way out. I think the questions

1098
00:52:09,560 --> 00:52:10,960
Speaker 3: are surrounding everything else.

1099
00:52:11,080 --> 00:52:11,319
Speaker 7: Yeah.

1100
00:52:11,400 --> 00:52:14,160
Speaker 2: The quarterback, Yeah, okay, we got one more. Mike Rabel

1101
00:52:14,360 --> 00:52:16,919
Speaker 2: in Tennessee. I think it's warm, but I think he's

1102
00:52:17,040 --> 00:52:21,680
Speaker 2: lighting the stove. There have been reports that Rapel yeah

1103
00:52:21,840 --> 00:52:24,680
Speaker 2: might want out, So we're not totally sure which way

1104
00:52:24,719 --> 00:52:26,680
Speaker 2: this is going to go. Do the Titans one out

1105
00:52:26,760 --> 00:52:30,360
Speaker 2: or does Rabel one out? And he even spoke to

1106
00:52:30,360 --> 00:52:32,759
Speaker 2: the media on Wednesday to try to like put the

1107
00:52:32,840 --> 00:52:35,360
Speaker 2: rumors to rest. And there's some like some key points

1108
00:52:35,440 --> 00:52:37,600
Speaker 2: in here. He said, of course, I want to be here,

1109
00:52:38,080 --> 00:52:41,080
Speaker 2: be here as long as we can win, as long

1110
00:52:41,120 --> 00:52:44,280
Speaker 2: as we can do this thing. And it's been great,

1111
00:52:44,680 --> 00:52:48,240
Speaker 2: but it's also just been frustrating this year, and nobody

1112
00:52:48,280 --> 00:52:50,760
Speaker 2: wants to be where we are at all. You feel

1113
00:52:50,800 --> 00:52:53,439
Speaker 2: for the players having been in that situation. Those guys

1114
00:52:53,480 --> 00:52:56,359
Speaker 2: are out there selling out. You just feel for them,

1115
00:52:56,520 --> 00:52:58,520
Speaker 2: and when you look out on the field and we're

1116
00:52:58,520 --> 00:53:03,480
Speaker 2: not winning, it's pretty obvious. So it's the Titans went

1117
00:53:03,520 --> 00:53:06,680
Speaker 2: from winning the AFC two years ago to five and

1118
00:53:06,719 --> 00:53:09,640
Speaker 2: eleven this season. You can you can see the frustration

1119
00:53:09,719 --> 00:53:12,320
Speaker 2: and obviously you could hear he said, Yeah, Rabel said

1120
00:53:12,360 --> 00:53:15,239
Speaker 2: he is frustrated. I want to stay as long as

1121
00:53:15,239 --> 00:53:17,600
Speaker 2: we can win. That is a big if.

1122
00:53:17,760 --> 00:53:23,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a big piece of information coming from Mike Rabel.

1123
00:53:23,520 --> 00:53:26,279
Speaker 3: You know, it's tough because that team, the team just

1124
00:53:26,360 --> 00:53:30,480
Speaker 3: like didn't look good. Then Ryan Tannehill gets hurt. Derrick

1125
00:53:30,560 --> 00:53:34,160
Speaker 3: Henry is not the King Henry that we have seen

1126
00:53:34,320 --> 00:53:36,960
Speaker 3: over the last couple of years. And you know, Mike

1127
00:53:37,040 --> 00:53:40,760
Speaker 3: Vrabel did not want Aj Brown traded. He was against

1128
00:53:40,760 --> 00:53:45,680
Speaker 3: that trade. So like rookie Traylon Burks like hasn't stood out.

1129
00:53:45,719 --> 00:53:48,399
Speaker 3: But is it because Ryan Tannehill got hurt? Like there's

1130
00:53:48,400 --> 00:53:51,759
Speaker 3: so many it is. It sucks And I can see

1131
00:53:51,800 --> 00:53:54,160
Speaker 3: why he's frustrated, and I can see why he would

1132
00:53:54,160 --> 00:53:57,120
Speaker 3: be willing to part ways and kind of give them

1133
00:53:57,120 --> 00:53:59,160
Speaker 3: a fresh start and he gets a fresh star. Yeah,

1134
00:53:59,160 --> 00:54:01,800
Speaker 3: because there's so many things that just like out of control.

1135
00:54:01,960 --> 00:54:05,440
Speaker 2: Like from he would get snatched up, he would immediately

1136
00:54:05,600 --> 00:54:08,080
Speaker 2: if you like a lot of these coaches, I think

1137
00:54:08,160 --> 00:54:12,279
Speaker 2: Bill would get snatched up, Mike Tomlin Harbaugh who's like

1138
00:54:12,760 --> 00:54:15,480
Speaker 2: rumored to possibly leaving Michigan and coming to the NFL.

1139
00:54:15,760 --> 00:54:19,240
Speaker 2: Rabel like there are an insane amount of top tier

1140
00:54:19,520 --> 00:54:24,080
Speaker 2: coaches that are going to be available this after the

1141
00:54:24,120 --> 00:54:24,760
Speaker 2: regular season.

1142
00:54:24,880 --> 00:54:26,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I actually like I'm glad you said that

1143
00:54:27,000 --> 00:54:28,920
Speaker 3: because I feel like that's going to be something on

1144
00:54:29,000 --> 00:54:31,560
Speaker 3: Robert Craft's mind about Bill Belichick where it's like if

1145
00:54:31,560 --> 00:54:34,280
Speaker 3: I release him, he has a new team in ten minutes, yes,

1146
00:54:34,480 --> 00:54:37,279
Speaker 3: and so like yeah, like the same thing with Mike Tomlin,

1147
00:54:37,320 --> 00:54:38,200
Speaker 3: even though we don't think.

1148
00:54:38,080 --> 00:54:39,040
Speaker 4: Mike's going anywhere.

1149
00:54:39,120 --> 00:54:41,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, but yeah, like that's a big, a big thing

1150
00:54:41,480 --> 00:54:44,279
Speaker 3: with these coaches. It's like they'll find a job pretty.

1151
00:54:44,080 --> 00:54:48,600
Speaker 2: Quickly, immediate, immediately, immediately. So it's going to be interesting.

1152
00:54:48,640 --> 00:54:50,040
Speaker 2: That's going to kind of be the watch like it

1153
00:54:52,200 --> 00:54:55,399
Speaker 2: free agency last year, where were people going This year,

1154
00:54:55,440 --> 00:54:57,719
Speaker 2: it's the coaches coach where the head coach is going

1155
00:54:57,760 --> 00:54:59,680
Speaker 2: to be landing and who's going to be willing to

1156
00:54:59,680 --> 00:55:03,440
Speaker 2: part ways with someone to try to get one of

1157
00:55:03,440 --> 00:55:04,799
Speaker 2: the big names out on the market.

1158
00:55:04,840 --> 00:55:06,840
Speaker 4: It's gonna be fun. All right. We're gonna take a

1159
00:55:06,880 --> 00:55:07,399
Speaker 4: quick break here.

1160
00:55:07,400 --> 00:55:09,760
Speaker 2: But when we come back, the Bear secured the first

1161
00:55:09,840 --> 00:55:10,919
Speaker 2: overall draft pick.

1162
00:55:11,280 --> 00:55:13,640
Speaker 4: But will they get it right? We'll be right back.

1182
00:55:57,840 --> 00:55:59,520
Speaker 2: I don't im it might have been that might have

1183
00:55:59,560 --> 00:56:00,120
Speaker 2: been the first that.

1184
00:56:00,200 --> 00:56:02,400
Speaker 3: Was the first time I've ever gotten a death stare

1185
00:56:02,560 --> 00:56:03,680
Speaker 3: from Alex Curry.

1186
00:56:03,680 --> 00:56:05,479
Speaker 4: I didn't know you had one in you. It makes

1187
00:56:05,480 --> 00:56:09,200
Speaker 4: me proud. No, you're so sweet sometimes even I.

1188
00:56:09,160 --> 00:56:11,240
Speaker 3: Feel like your sweetest death stair.

1189
00:56:11,440 --> 00:56:13,799
Speaker 4: It's just like she's love. She loves me. No, that

1190
00:56:13,880 --> 00:56:15,120
Speaker 4: was a good one. That was a good one.

1191
00:56:15,280 --> 00:56:16,839
Speaker 3: I thought she's gonna kick me under the table.

1192
00:56:17,239 --> 00:56:19,600
Speaker 2: I can't reach. My legs are too short, otherwise I

1193
00:56:19,680 --> 00:56:23,840
Speaker 2: might have arms. Can't reach, legs can't reach. We're we're tiny,

1194
00:56:24,040 --> 00:56:26,600
Speaker 2: like we're shorter humans here, we really are.

1195
00:56:26,840 --> 00:56:30,560
Speaker 4: We are all right. We've talked a lot about this today.

1196
00:56:31,160 --> 00:56:34,560
Speaker 2: What should the Bears do with the first overall draft

1197
00:56:34,560 --> 00:56:37,839
Speaker 2: pick in twenty twenty four. They clinched that first pick

1198
00:56:37,840 --> 00:56:42,759
Speaker 2: because they have the Panthers from last year's trade when

1199
00:56:42,760 --> 00:56:45,320
Speaker 2: the Panthers picked Bryce Young first overall.

1200
00:56:45,360 --> 00:56:48,160
Speaker 4: That has not looked great for them.

1201
00:56:48,960 --> 00:56:51,920
Speaker 2: But we talked to Carmen Vitali, ar NFC North reporter

1202
00:56:52,400 --> 00:56:55,920
Speaker 2: at the bottom of the first hour, and she said,

1203
00:56:56,000 --> 00:57:00,360
Speaker 2: like they have not. They have kept this so close,

1204
00:57:01,040 --> 00:57:02,920
Speaker 2: so close, So we don't know what's gonna happen. But

1205
00:57:02,920 --> 00:57:06,040
Speaker 2: there are so many questions and possibilities with this Bears

1206
00:57:06,080 --> 00:57:08,919
Speaker 2: team right now. We talked to We just talked about

1207
00:57:08,920 --> 00:57:11,200
Speaker 2: Matt Eberflus. Will he be the head coach next season?

1208
00:57:11,239 --> 00:57:14,160
Speaker 2: Will they keep him to see how he does with

1209
00:57:14,239 --> 00:57:18,439
Speaker 2: a new quarterback? If the bigger question is like, are

1210
00:57:18,480 --> 00:57:20,600
Speaker 2: they going to keep Justin Fields?

1211
00:57:20,640 --> 00:57:24,960
Speaker 4: Will Sunday be Justin Field's final game with the Bears?

1212
00:57:26,000 --> 00:57:29,640
Speaker 2: Are they going to keep that first overall draft pick

1213
00:57:29,720 --> 00:57:32,560
Speaker 2: and draft Caleb Williams.

1214
00:57:32,720 --> 00:57:37,440
Speaker 4: I it's really hard because he is.

1215
00:57:38,800 --> 00:57:41,360
Speaker 2: They passed the opportunity to take a big name quarterback

1216
00:57:41,640 --> 00:57:42,320
Speaker 2: last season.

1217
00:57:43,560 --> 00:57:44,960
Speaker 4: The one that's panned out, c J.

1218
00:57:45,120 --> 00:57:49,400
Speaker 2: Stroud, has completely He was drafted second overall and he

1219
00:57:49,480 --> 00:57:53,200
Speaker 2: completely turned the Texans franchise around.

1220
00:57:52,920 --> 00:57:54,960
Speaker 3: From the beginning. You saw it from the very beginning.

1221
00:57:54,960 --> 00:57:56,240
Speaker 4: He was effective the very beginning.

1222
00:57:56,280 --> 00:58:00,280
Speaker 2: If you pass on a guy like Caleb Williams and

1223
00:58:00,320 --> 00:58:05,120
Speaker 2: he turns out to be the generational talent that we've

1224
00:58:05,120 --> 00:58:06,240
Speaker 2: been hearing about for.

1225
00:58:06,200 --> 00:58:09,680
Speaker 4: The last two years, people.

1226
00:58:09,440 --> 00:58:13,360
Speaker 2: Are not only going to lose their jobs, but it

1227
00:58:13,440 --> 00:58:15,720
Speaker 2: might be hard for you to get hired somewhere else.

1228
00:58:16,040 --> 00:58:18,640
Speaker 3: It will be the talk of town for a very life.

1229
00:58:18,640 --> 00:58:21,920
Speaker 2: I don't see how you can't draft him, So you like,

1230
00:58:22,040 --> 00:58:26,600
Speaker 2: you have to draft Caleb Williams. That's where you have

1231
00:58:26,760 --> 00:58:32,560
Speaker 2: the opportunity to get one of the most exciting quarterbacks

1232
00:58:33,080 --> 00:58:35,760
Speaker 2: that has been talked about probably. I mean, I don't

1233
00:58:35,760 --> 00:58:38,600
Speaker 2: even know Patrick Mahomes had this much hype coming out,

1234
00:58:38,600 --> 00:58:41,600
Speaker 2: and Bears also passed on Patrick Mahomes when they had

1235
00:58:41,680 --> 00:58:42,440
Speaker 2: the opportunity.

1236
00:58:42,520 --> 00:58:44,440
Speaker 4: Like, let's just put that out there. But they do

1237
00:58:44,480 --> 00:58:44,800
Speaker 4: have some.

1238
00:58:44,800 --> 00:58:49,520
Speaker 2: Options here, right, Yeah, keep that number one draft pick.

1239
00:58:50,240 --> 00:58:53,640
Speaker 2: You can trade it, or you can keep it and

1240
00:58:53,760 --> 00:58:59,120
Speaker 2: keep just In Fields and kind of create a competition environment.

1241
00:58:59,520 --> 00:59:02,480
Speaker 2: Is that he He's still under contract for the twenty

1242
00:59:02,640 --> 00:59:04,720
Speaker 2: twenty four season. The Bears haven't made a decision on

1243
00:59:04,760 --> 00:59:06,360
Speaker 2: his fifth year option yet to keep him through twenty

1244
00:59:06,400 --> 00:59:14,440
Speaker 2: twenty five. This is so tough because Justin Fields his

1245
00:59:14,640 --> 00:59:20,480
Speaker 2: career in his three seasons, he's ten and twenty seven. Yeah,

1246
00:59:20,720 --> 00:59:23,920
Speaker 2: had he's had some great plays, He's a dynamic player.

1247
00:59:24,520 --> 00:59:26,919
Speaker 2: It just doesn't feel like he's been that right fit

1248
00:59:27,280 --> 00:59:29,600
Speaker 2: for the organization. But he's going out and has a

1249
00:59:29,920 --> 00:59:36,280
Speaker 2: huge game tomorrow in Green Bay against like rival Packers.

1250
00:59:36,360 --> 00:59:37,400
Speaker 4: If he goes.

1251
00:59:37,240 --> 00:59:42,080
Speaker 2: And absolutely dominates that win, my question to Carmen is like,

1252
00:59:42,160 --> 00:59:46,400
Speaker 2: is this going to affect I guess the.

1253
00:59:46,080 --> 00:59:48,640
Speaker 4: Bear has this decision already been made.

1254
00:59:48,680 --> 00:59:50,720
Speaker 2: It probably has already been made, and then maybe this

1255
00:59:50,920 --> 00:59:55,520
Speaker 2: just helps his like career decision now trade value go up.

1256
00:59:55,560 --> 00:59:59,240
Speaker 2: She's sounded pretty convinced that they would trade him and

1257
00:59:59,320 --> 01:00:03,760
Speaker 2: not keep him if they keep that first overall draft pick.

1258
01:00:04,040 --> 01:00:07,840
Speaker 3: I don't think you want to create a competition between

1259
01:00:08,040 --> 01:00:12,560
Speaker 3: two quarterbacks, two young quarterbacks. I feel like that could

1260
01:00:12,600 --> 01:00:15,120
Speaker 3: be a little bit toxic in the locker room for

1261
01:00:15,160 --> 01:00:17,600
Speaker 3: everybody involved. That just doesn't seem like the way to

1262
01:00:17,640 --> 01:00:20,880
Speaker 3: go with two young quarterbacks because Justin Fields is young,

1263
01:00:21,720 --> 01:00:24,480
Speaker 3: He's been injured and like the last year, he also

1264
01:00:24,680 --> 01:00:28,280
Speaker 3: ended the season, well, this year got injured, also ended

1265
01:00:28,320 --> 01:00:28,760
Speaker 3: the season.

1266
01:00:28,800 --> 01:00:29,080
Speaker 1: Well.

1267
01:00:30,280 --> 01:00:32,760
Speaker 3: I don't know what I would do, to be honest,

1268
01:00:32,960 --> 01:00:35,920
Speaker 3: but I think the big factor, which Carmen touched on,

1269
01:00:36,760 --> 01:00:39,640
Speaker 3: is the contract with Fields coming up, Like, if you

1270
01:00:39,760 --> 01:00:42,040
Speaker 3: keep him, you're gonna have to pay him very soon.

1271
01:00:42,280 --> 01:00:44,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, And I think that's right now.

1272
01:00:44,160 --> 01:00:46,520
Speaker 3: He has trade value right now, and that I think

1273
01:00:46,640 --> 01:00:50,560
Speaker 3: is really the big factor in this situation. If you

1274
01:00:50,640 --> 01:00:53,080
Speaker 3: believe in Justin Fields, you're going to keep him and

1275
01:00:53,120 --> 01:00:56,320
Speaker 3: you're just going to pay him. If you have any questions,

1276
01:00:56,640 --> 01:01:00,600
Speaker 3: any even the slightest doubt, Yeah, then you trade him

1277
01:01:00,640 --> 01:01:04,760
Speaker 3: while he's hot and get especially if he has a

1278
01:01:05,360 --> 01:01:08,280
Speaker 3: huge it's a huge win in Green Bay this weekend.

1279
01:01:08,320 --> 01:01:11,160
Speaker 3: Regardless what they decide to do with Justin Fields, I

1280
01:01:11,200 --> 01:01:12,520
Speaker 3: personally feel like it's a no brainer.

1281
01:01:12,520 --> 01:01:16,920
Speaker 2: You have to draft Caleb Williams. We've said this before.

1282
01:01:17,000 --> 01:01:20,800
Speaker 2: The Bears are known to not make the best decisions.

1283
01:01:21,680 --> 01:01:24,920
Speaker 2: So if anyone was gonna.

1284
01:01:24,640 --> 01:01:27,280
Speaker 4: Mess this up, you think it's I really.

1285
01:01:27,040 --> 01:01:30,160
Speaker 2: Hope they don't, because just from what we've seen, if

1286
01:01:30,200 --> 01:01:32,360
Speaker 2: you've watched Kayla Williams play, if you've.

1287
01:01:34,000 --> 01:01:36,200
Speaker 4: Seen his natural ability.

1288
01:01:36,600 --> 01:01:40,320
Speaker 3: You've been at Oklahoma, Yeah, I think you have to.

1289
01:01:40,520 --> 01:01:43,160
Speaker 4: I think it's you have to do.

1290
01:01:43,240 --> 01:01:46,040
Speaker 3: You have to take like I hear, Yeah, I think

1291
01:01:46,080 --> 01:01:50,160
Speaker 3: you're right. I think you are right. I just I'm

1292
01:01:50,200 --> 01:01:52,840
Speaker 3: so glad I'm not making this decision. And I hope

1293
01:01:52,840 --> 01:01:54,640
Speaker 3: they already know what they're doing, because if you don't

1294
01:01:54,680 --> 01:01:56,960
Speaker 3: know what you're doing right now, that can't feel good

1295
01:01:57,000 --> 01:02:00,840
Speaker 3: either for your organization, right you. I hope they know

1296
01:02:00,880 --> 01:02:03,959
Speaker 3: what they're doing. I hope they're already Like these people

1297
01:02:03,960 --> 01:02:06,080
Speaker 3: are funny and talking about us, well, we already.

1298
01:02:05,800 --> 01:02:06,480
Speaker 4: Know what we're doing.

1299
01:02:06,640 --> 01:02:08,800
Speaker 3: Like they're speculating we already got it in the we

1300
01:02:08,880 --> 01:02:11,440
Speaker 3: already wrote it down, we already signed, like, we're good.

1301
01:02:12,160 --> 01:02:14,560
Speaker 4: But I think you crazy.

1302
01:02:14,600 --> 01:02:16,080
Speaker 3: I think you got Caleb.

1303
01:02:16,520 --> 01:02:18,000
Speaker 4: I think so crazy.

1304
01:02:18,280 --> 01:02:20,800
Speaker 2: Right, I can't pass on two years in a row

1305
01:02:20,800 --> 01:02:23,400
Speaker 2: with the first overall pick. You can't do that. All right,

1306
01:02:23,480 --> 01:02:25,560
Speaker 2: let's check in with Brian finally to see what's trending.

1326
01:03:22,440 --> 01:03:25,360
Speaker 10: passing of course involved in this game. Because of that,

1327

Speaker 10: eight fifteen Eastern Colts will be going toe to toe

1328
01:03:28,440 --> 01:03:32,000

1334
01:03:44,320 --> 01:03:46,840

01:06:31,000 --> 01:06:33,120
Speaker 6: some teams can lose and the Bills could get in

1397
01:06:33,160 --> 01:06:35,240
Speaker 6: with the sixth seed, but they're not worried about that.

1398
01:06:35,360 --> 01:06:39,200
Speaker 6: They're worried about winning this game against the Dolphins and

1399
01:06:39,240 --> 01:06:41,440
Speaker 6: getting the number two seeds so that they can host

1400
01:06:41,560 --> 01:06:44,600
Speaker 6: a playoff game. That's ultimately their goal. When they set

1401
01:06:44,640 --> 01:06:47,960
Speaker 6: their goals in the beginning of the season, it's winning

1402
01:06:48,040 --> 01:06:51,280
Speaker 6: the division first and being able to host home playoff games.

1403
01:06:51,320 --> 01:06:53,520
Speaker 6: They know that's the easiest way to get to the

1404
01:06:53,560 --> 01:06:56,640
Speaker 6: super Bowl, so they're looking at doing what they can

1405
01:06:56,720 --> 01:06:58,880
Speaker 6: do to get a victory on Sunday night.

1406
01:07:00,160 --> 01:07:02,720
Speaker 3: Matt, question for you. At the start of the season,

1407
01:07:02,920 --> 01:07:05,760
Speaker 3: I was very like, the Bills don't look good to me.

1408
01:07:06,000 --> 01:07:08,120
Speaker 3: They seem a little dysfunctional. That was what I was

1409
01:07:08,120 --> 01:07:09,720
Speaker 3: saying from the beginner, saying you were wrong, and she

1410
01:07:09,840 --> 01:07:12,720
Speaker 3: was saying that I was wrong. Where do you think

1411
01:07:12,800 --> 01:07:14,960
Speaker 3: the shift happened. Do you think it was when they

1412
01:07:15,000 --> 01:07:18,000
Speaker 3: fired Ken Dorsey or do you think it just was

1413
01:07:18,400 --> 01:07:21,960
Speaker 3: a slow built up of figuring things out.

1414
01:07:22,520 --> 01:07:24,440
Speaker 6: I think it was a slow build up of figuring

1415
01:07:24,440 --> 01:07:26,760
Speaker 6: things out. You know, this identity of this team has

1416
01:07:26,800 --> 01:07:29,480
Speaker 6: started to come on later, probably than they had wanted.

1417
01:07:29,600 --> 01:07:32,920
Speaker 6: On offense. On defense, they suffered a lot of injuries,

1418
01:07:32,960 --> 01:07:35,280
Speaker 6: so it was kind of like, who are we after

1419
01:07:35,360 --> 01:07:37,760
Speaker 6: all these big injuries of all these starters. They have

1420
01:07:37,840 --> 01:07:40,400
Speaker 6: then figured that out as well, and with the firing

1421
01:07:40,440 --> 01:07:43,520
Speaker 6: of Ken Dorsey, I think this offense really loved him

1422
01:07:43,520 --> 01:07:46,720
Speaker 6: and appreciated him, and he's been around for He was

1423
01:07:46,840 --> 01:07:49,160
Speaker 6: around for quite a few years with the Bills and

1424
01:07:49,520 --> 01:07:52,840
Speaker 6: really helped Josh Allen as the quarterbacks coach first and

1425
01:07:52,880 --> 01:07:55,680
Speaker 6: then earning a job as the offensive coordinator. And I

1426
01:07:55,720 --> 01:07:58,200
Speaker 6: think when he lost his job, this offense kind of

1427
01:07:58,200 --> 01:08:00,480
Speaker 6: looked at each other and said, we need to fix

1428
01:08:00,520 --> 01:08:03,440
Speaker 6: things because we did not want this to be the result.

1429
01:08:03,480 --> 01:08:06,280
Speaker 6: We did not want Ken Dorsey to lose his job,

1430
01:08:06,600 --> 01:08:09,240
Speaker 6: and they felt this was ultimately, you know, our fault.

1431
01:08:09,360 --> 01:08:11,880
Speaker 6: We have to figure out how we can button things

1432
01:08:12,000 --> 01:08:14,200
Speaker 6: up and get things going in the right direction so

1433
01:08:14,680 --> 01:08:17,720
Speaker 6: nobody else has to lose their job over what's happening now.

1434
01:08:17,760 --> 01:08:18,040
Speaker 4: Maddie.

1435
01:08:18,080 --> 01:08:21,240
Speaker 2: The last time we had you on was just after

1436
01:08:21,280 --> 01:08:24,040
Speaker 2: the Bills had hired Ken Dorsey, and as you go,

1437
01:08:24,120 --> 01:08:26,360
Speaker 2: both just mentioned, they completely turned their season around. It

1438
01:08:26,479 --> 01:08:28,439
Speaker 2: gone five to one sense that happened. Josh Allen has

1439
01:08:28,439 --> 01:08:31,559
Speaker 2: put this team on his back. How impressive has it

1440
01:08:31,640 --> 01:08:34,160
Speaker 2: been what he has been able to do to carry

1441
01:08:34,160 --> 01:08:34,880
Speaker 2: this team this season?

1442
01:08:35,760 --> 01:08:38,719
Speaker 6: So impressive. But at the same time, I'm like, I'm

1443
01:08:39,520 --> 01:08:41,880
Speaker 6: people who follow this team, who know this team, who

1444
01:08:41,960 --> 01:08:44,759
Speaker 6: work for this team are just waiting for Josh Allen

1445
01:08:44,800 --> 01:08:47,400
Speaker 6: to kick into a gear that nobody else can kick into.

1446
01:08:47,439 --> 01:08:50,400
Speaker 6: So it's like, ah, he has finally arrived. He is

1447
01:08:50,479 --> 01:08:52,840
Speaker 6: here the Josh Allen we all know and love. He

1448
01:08:52,960 --> 01:08:55,639
Speaker 6: is putting the team on his back. He's doing crazy things.

1449
01:08:55,840 --> 01:08:58,760
Speaker 6: He's playing to a level that you can meet him at.

1450
01:08:58,840 --> 01:09:01,640
Speaker 6: He's doing things that you can do, and that's what

1451
01:09:01,680 --> 01:09:04,320
Speaker 6: we need here as we are closing out the regular

1452
01:09:04,360 --> 01:09:07,400
Speaker 6: season and hopefully going to make a playoffs push as well.

1453
01:09:07,640 --> 01:09:09,960
Speaker 6: This team has won the last four games. Josh Allen

1454
01:09:10,000 --> 01:09:12,400
Speaker 6: has been a big part of that, but so has

1455
01:09:12,439 --> 01:09:14,559
Speaker 6: the rushing offense as well. It's been fun to see

1456
01:09:14,640 --> 01:09:17,920
Speaker 6: James Cook come alive. This offensive line has been playing

1457
01:09:19,080 --> 01:09:22,160
Speaker 6: so well this season, opening things up for the running

1458
01:09:22,160 --> 01:09:24,439
Speaker 6: backs and also giving Josh Allen the protection that he

1459
01:09:24,560 --> 01:09:26,760
Speaker 6: needs to be able to make the right decision.

1460
01:09:26,800 --> 01:09:28,920
Speaker 3: Something that I can't get passes. Like you just said.

1461
01:09:28,920 --> 01:09:31,439
Speaker 3: They've won four in a row. Those four games have

1462
01:09:31,640 --> 01:09:35,360
Speaker 3: not been the best for Stefan Diggs. He has had

1463
01:09:35,800 --> 01:09:38,479
Speaker 3: very low yardage in comparison to like what you would expect,

1464
01:09:38,520 --> 01:09:41,320
Speaker 3: you know, from Stefan Diggs. Yet the Bills are winning.

1465
01:09:42,040 --> 01:09:44,200
Speaker 3: I feel like that has to feel good. Maybe not

1466
01:09:44,240 --> 01:09:46,240
Speaker 3: Stefan Diggs feeling good, but that team has to be like,

1467
01:09:46,240 --> 01:09:48,240
Speaker 3: all right, we can still win. We are still doing this.

1468
01:09:48,560 --> 01:09:50,280
Speaker 3: And if Stefan Diggs all of a sudden has a

1469
01:09:50,320 --> 01:09:52,479
Speaker 3: crazy game, oh the Bills are scary.

1470
01:09:53,280 --> 01:09:53,519
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1471
01:09:53,520 --> 01:09:56,439
Speaker 6: I mean the last time the Bills played the Dolphins

1472
01:09:56,479 --> 01:10:00,599
Speaker 6: in Week four, Stefon Diggs win off with six catches

1473
01:10:00,640 --> 01:10:03,000
Speaker 6: for one hundred and twenty yards and three touchdowns. And

1474
01:10:03,040 --> 01:10:05,040
Speaker 6: I think we're all hoping that we see that on

1475
01:10:05,120 --> 01:10:07,920
Speaker 6: Sunday Night, because yeah, he hasn't been as much of

1476
01:10:07,920 --> 01:10:10,120
Speaker 6: a faster in the games in the last half of

1477
01:10:10,160 --> 01:10:13,160
Speaker 6: the season, the last six games, and really as this

1478
01:10:13,280 --> 01:10:16,439
Speaker 6: wind streak has happened for the Bills, but they know like, hey,

1479
01:10:16,560 --> 01:10:19,559
Speaker 6: we are at our best when Stephan Diggs is involved

1480
01:10:19,600 --> 01:10:21,639
Speaker 6: in things. Yes, it's nice to be able to win

1481
01:10:21,720 --> 01:10:25,479
Speaker 6: without such an incredible weapon. But at the same time,

1482
01:10:25,640 --> 01:10:30,960
Speaker 6: we know he's our best way to get to and yeah,

1483
01:10:31,040 --> 01:10:33,040
Speaker 6: and we've got to figure out how to involve that.

1484
01:10:33,160 --> 01:10:36,439
Speaker 6: A lot of questions this week in press conferences for

1485
01:10:36,479 --> 01:10:39,160
Speaker 6: our coaches and players were about, Hey, what's going on

1486
01:10:39,240 --> 01:10:42,880
Speaker 6: with Stefan Diggs in his involvement in this offense. You know,

1487
01:10:42,960 --> 01:10:45,799
Speaker 6: we've seen what he can do. Why isn't he getting

1488
01:10:45,920 --> 01:10:48,559
Speaker 6: throwing the ball more? And our offensive coordinator Joe Brady,

1489
01:10:48,560 --> 01:10:52,040
Speaker 6: our interim offensive coordinator, says, Hey, we know that we

1490
01:10:52,080 --> 01:10:54,559
Speaker 6: are the best when he has the ball in his hands.

1491
01:10:54,600 --> 01:10:57,519
Speaker 6: He's our number one wide receiver. I have to do

1492
01:10:57,600 --> 01:11:00,960
Speaker 6: more things to scheme him open. But also, since he's

1493
01:11:00,960 --> 01:11:05,200
Speaker 6: the best, these teams that we're playing against are doubling him.

1494
01:11:05,240 --> 01:11:08,479
Speaker 6: So it's hard to figure out, Okay, what's the best

1495
01:11:08,520 --> 01:11:11,920
Speaker 6: way to go about this, Because if he's completely doubled, yes,

1496
01:11:11,960 --> 01:11:15,040
Speaker 6: he's step on Diggs and probably you know, more than

1497
01:11:15,080 --> 01:11:17,559
Speaker 6: fifty percent chance of being able to catch the ball

1498
01:11:17,600 --> 01:11:20,200
Speaker 6: when he's double teams. But also Josh Allen needs to

1499
01:11:20,200 --> 01:11:23,120
Speaker 6: go through his progressions and figure out who's the most

1500
01:11:23,120 --> 01:11:25,280
Speaker 6: open and get the ball to that guy. So I

1501
01:11:25,320 --> 01:11:28,680
Speaker 6: think it's it's a balancing act here, and I'm excited

1502
01:11:28,680 --> 01:11:31,360
Speaker 6: to see how they come out of it on Sunday

1503
01:11:31,439 --> 01:11:33,479
Speaker 6: Night against the Dolphins because I think it's going to

1504
01:11:33,560 --> 01:11:36,120
Speaker 6: be a priority to feed Steph on Diggs because they're

1505
01:11:36,120 --> 01:11:38,519
Speaker 6: playing against the good team against in the Dolphins. But

1506
01:11:38,880 --> 01:11:41,040
Speaker 6: the Dolphins are really injured right now, so it'll be

1507
01:11:41,080 --> 01:11:43,920
Speaker 6: interesting to see what vic Vangeo does and how he

1508
01:11:44,000 --> 01:11:45,480
Speaker 6: pressures the Bills defensively.

1509
01:11:45,680 --> 01:11:47,760
Speaker 2: So with the division on the line tomorrow and the

1510
01:11:47,800 --> 01:11:50,519
Speaker 2: Bills getting hot at the perfect time of the season,

1511
01:11:50,600 --> 01:11:52,400
Speaker 2: you mentioned try to get more to fund Diggs take

1512
01:11:52,400 --> 01:11:55,639
Speaker 2: advantage of the injuries, what are you expecting to see

1513
01:11:56,040 --> 01:11:57,080
Speaker 2: in this game in Miami?

1514
01:11:57,120 --> 01:11:57,880
Speaker 4: What's the game plan?

1515
01:11:58,960 --> 01:12:01,280
Speaker 6: I think for the Bills offensively, it's going to be

1516
01:12:01,720 --> 01:12:02,800
Speaker 6: get on the scoreboard.

1517
01:12:02,880 --> 01:12:03,240
Speaker 7: First.

1518
01:12:03,320 --> 01:12:06,360
Speaker 6: They've been slow to score in the last couple of

1519
01:12:06,439 --> 01:12:09,000
Speaker 6: games against the Chargers, and then they play against the

1520
01:12:09,040 --> 01:12:12,560
Speaker 6: Patriots last week and they give up an opening kickoff touchdown,

1521
01:12:12,760 --> 01:12:15,200
Speaker 6: and those are things you can't do when the division

1522
01:12:15,320 --> 01:12:18,200
Speaker 6: is on the line. You have to be able to

1523
01:12:18,240 --> 01:12:22,000
Speaker 6: score first. You've got to be dominant and aggressive right

1524
01:12:22,080 --> 01:12:25,200
Speaker 6: out of the kickoff. You have to do things to

1525
01:12:25,240 --> 01:12:27,759
Speaker 6: put yourself in a good position, and then on defense,

1526
01:12:28,040 --> 01:12:30,240
Speaker 6: this team needs to continue to do what they've been doing.

1527
01:12:30,280 --> 01:12:33,479
Speaker 6: Since Week ten, they've allowed just or Since Week fourteen,

1528
01:12:33,560 --> 01:12:37,320
Speaker 6: they've allowed just one passing touchdown and are allowing seventeen

1529
01:12:37,360 --> 01:12:39,920
Speaker 6: and a half points per game. So I want to

1530
01:12:39,960 --> 01:12:42,320
Speaker 6: see that out of the defense. This team is also

1531
01:12:42,360 --> 01:12:44,559
Speaker 6: thankfully for the Bills, I know it's not the case

1532
01:12:44,600 --> 01:12:46,960
Speaker 6: for the Dolphins, but this team is as healthy as

1533
01:12:47,000 --> 01:12:49,240
Speaker 6: they can get. There missing some guys who have been

1534
01:12:49,320 --> 01:12:52,520
Speaker 6: ruled out for the entire season, you know, in the midpoint,

1535
01:12:52,600 --> 01:12:55,160
Speaker 6: early point of the season, but they're about as healthy

1536
01:12:55,200 --> 01:12:57,479
Speaker 6: as they can get. So having health on their side

1537
01:12:57,479 --> 01:12:59,000
Speaker 6: I think will help a lot in this one. And

1538
01:12:59,040 --> 01:13:00,640
Speaker 6: then if you look at the staff of these two

1539
01:13:00,680 --> 01:13:04,040
Speaker 6: teams playing each other since Josh Allen became a Buffalo Bill,

1540
01:13:04,600 --> 01:13:07,880
Speaker 6: Josh is ten and two against the Dolphins in his career.

1541
01:13:07,960 --> 01:13:10,760
Speaker 6: He gets thirty nine total touchdowns, like one oh nine

1542
01:13:10,800 --> 01:13:14,160
Speaker 6: hass a rating. It's incredible. So I want to see

1543
01:13:14,200 --> 01:13:16,599
Speaker 6: that happen as well as I don't want to see

1544
01:13:16,640 --> 01:13:19,160
Speaker 6: this be a fluke. Like, dude, you're ten and two

1545
01:13:19,200 --> 01:13:20,840
Speaker 6: against this team, go and do it again.

1546
01:13:20,920 --> 01:13:23,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is your time, this is your opportunity to

1547
01:13:23,720 --> 01:13:26,759
Speaker 2: not only win the division. Yeah, last game of the season.

1548
01:13:26,840 --> 01:13:30,280

1551
01:13:35,720 --> 01:13:37,760
Speaker 2: about that at all? Does he feel slighted? Did he

1552
01:13:37,840 --> 01:13:38,880
Speaker 2: mention anything about that?

1553
01:13:40,080 --> 01:13:42,639
Speaker 6: He didn't mention anything about it. And he's the type

1554
01:13:42,680 --> 01:13:44,280
Speaker 6: of guy where even if you were to ask him

1555
01:13:44,280 --> 01:13:46,439
Speaker 6: about it, he wouldn't say anything about it. But I

1556
01:13:46,560 --> 01:13:51,960
Speaker 6: think it's got to give him a little Yeah, I'm

01:13:58,240 --> 01:14:00,439
Speaker 6: of hope it gives some of these guys a little bit,

1560
01:14:00,520 --> 01:14:02,559
Speaker 6: a little bit more edge as they take the field,

1561
01:14:02,560 --> 01:14:04,840
Speaker 6: the guys who thought, you know, I'm deserving of a

Speaker 2: let's hand it over to Brian Fenley.

1576
01:14:42,320 --> 01:14:45,040
Speaker 1: Breaking news from Fox Sports.

1577
01:14:44,760 --> 01:14:48,400
Speaker 10: Monsey and Alex. They were calling it an indefinite suspension

1578
01:14:48,680 --> 01:14:53,479
Speaker 10: for Raymond Green, and that suspension is running out of time.

1579
01:14:53,600 --> 01:14:56,400
Speaker 10: The NBA cord in the athletic is going to reinstate

1580
01:14:56,800 --> 01:15:00,479
Speaker 10: Draymond Green after being out twelve games in This obviously

1581
01:15:00,520 --> 01:15:02,559
Speaker 10: stems from a violent incident that he was a part

1582
01:15:02,600 --> 01:15:05,360
Speaker 10: of on the court, and Green, according to this source,

1583
01:15:05,800 --> 01:15:09,400
Speaker 10: has been seeing a therapist for several weeks. He is

1584
01:15:09,479 --> 01:15:13,120
Speaker 10: holding progress meetings with the league and the Warriors, updating

1585
01:15:13,160 --> 01:15:17,440
Speaker 10: them on how he is doing and adding onto this story.

1586
01:15:17,640 --> 01:15:22,280
Speaker 10: Both the league and the team have been pleased pleased

1587
01:15:22,640 --> 01:15:27,200
Speaker 10: with Green's progress through this saga, which has been since

1588
01:15:27,240 --> 01:15:32,280
Speaker 10: December fourteenth, now into January. As he gets back on

1589
01:15:32,280 --> 01:15:34,559
Speaker 10: to the court and a ramp back for action, regular

1590
01:15:34,720 --> 01:15:38,360
Speaker 10: check ins with him in the league and all parties

1591
01:15:38,520 --> 01:15:40,080
Speaker 10: will have to continue to take place.

1592
01:15:40,240 --> 01:15:43,960
Speaker 2: What I'm curious about is the first player that knows

1593
01:15:44,320 --> 01:15:47,559
Speaker 2: he is like being closely watched and tries to get

1594
01:15:47,600 --> 01:15:50,080
Speaker 2: him riled up to see if he reacts, and if

1595
01:15:50,120 --> 01:15:52,880
Speaker 2: he does, that's going to be the true test.

1596
01:15:53,320 --> 01:15:54,360
Speaker 4: That's going to be the true test.

1597
01:15:54,520 --> 01:15:58,439
Speaker 3: I mean, twelve games, what are we want? You should

1598
01:15:58,439 --> 01:16:01,920
Speaker 3: have just said we're gonna suspend him to games, not indefinitely,

1599
01:16:02,000 --> 01:16:04,280
Speaker 3: because now it just makes a joke of that term.

1600
01:16:04,520 --> 01:16:06,760
Speaker 3: So yeah, the next time the NBA says indefinitely, I'm

1601
01:16:06,800 --> 01:16:08,519
Speaker 3: gonna be like, that means nothing, because this is how

1602
01:16:08,520 --> 01:16:10,440
Speaker 3: you handled it the first time when you said indefinitely.

1603
01:16:11,000 --> 01:16:15,120
Speaker 3: So I don't I am I surprised, No, No, But

1604
01:16:15,360 --> 01:16:17,160
Speaker 3: here we are, Dravon green Back.

1605
01:16:17,240 --> 01:16:18,800
Speaker 2: I know how big those ratings are gonna be for

1606
01:16:18,840 --> 01:16:21,000
Speaker 2: that first game back. I'm telling let's talk about that.

1607
01:16:21,200 --> 01:16:24,040
Speaker 3: Yeah. Also, put up a punching bag. Remember I put

1608
01:16:24,040 --> 01:16:27,000
Speaker 3: a punching bag on the court on the side, put

1609
01:16:27,000 --> 01:16:28,680
Speaker 3: a face of whatever he doesn't like, and let him

1610
01:16:28,720 --> 01:16:30,960
Speaker 3: hit it on the side. Dude, during the time out.

1611
01:16:31,000 --> 01:16:31,920
Speaker 4: I mean, let's do that.

1612
01:16:32,520 --> 01:16:35,400
Speaker 10: The unis alex and Monsey that these guys wear when

1613
01:16:35,400 --> 01:16:37,519
Speaker 10: they're playing in a game. Do they have pockets on

1614
01:16:37,560 --> 01:16:39,559
Speaker 10: the shorts because remember the old stress balls.

1615
01:16:39,640 --> 01:16:41,280
Speaker 4: I don't think so can you put a stress ball

1616
01:16:41,280 --> 01:16:43,720
Speaker 4: in talking to you can't have that. You can't have that?

1617
01:16:43,920 --> 01:16:45,240
Speaker 9: Is that like a competitive advantage.

1618
01:16:45,280 --> 01:16:49,080
Speaker 3: She's just on the side, just squeezing the ball, staring at.

1619
01:16:48,960 --> 01:16:52,759
Speaker 2: Lebron Just no, I'm I like everyone's gonna be watching

1620
01:16:52,760 --> 01:16:53,879
Speaker 2: that first game back though.

1621
01:16:53,720 --> 01:16:54,080
Speaker 4: For sure.

1622
01:16:54,160 --> 01:16:57,000
Speaker 3: That's like and I'm sure there's gonna be like a

1623
01:16:57,040 --> 01:17:00,000
Speaker 3: coach who's like, you poke the bear you get Yeah,

1624
01:17:00,080 --> 01:17:01,400
Speaker 3: I'll buy you a bottle of liquor.

1625
01:17:01,439 --> 01:17:02,360
Speaker 4: I'll try to poke the bear.

1626
01:17:02,479 --> 01:17:02,639
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1627
01:17:02,680 --> 01:17:06,080
Speaker 2: It's like it's like why he is a very publicly

1628
01:17:06,280 --> 01:17:08,599
Speaker 2: we know, like what sure, what's wrong? It sets him off.

1629
01:17:08,600 --> 01:17:10,960
Speaker 2: It's like in hockey when you say, like upper body

1630
01:17:11,120 --> 01:17:13,040
Speaker 2: lower body injury, you don't want someone to know, so they.

1631
01:17:13,000 --> 01:17:16,320
Speaker 4: Don't go after it. Everybody knows what's gonna set them off.

1632
01:17:16,400 --> 01:17:19,800
Speaker 2: So it's going to be interesting. Okay, lady's time for

1639
01:17:34,840 --> 01:17:38,000
Speaker 13: Yeah, So here's the deal. Last week, if my calculations

1640
01:17:38,040 --> 01:17:40,760
Speaker 13: are correct and Brandon wasn't just goofing off on his

1641
01:17:40,840 --> 01:17:44,320
Speaker 13: last day, Uh, Moncey has a clean sweep last week four, and.

1642
01:17:44,560 --> 01:17:49,080
Speaker 2: I do yeah, I did so that I'm going to

1643
01:17:49,439 --> 01:17:53,960
Speaker 2: one because I picked Washing picked Texas, that was our one.

1644
01:17:54,280 --> 01:17:58,599
Speaker 4: Texas learned. I learned hard. I learned hard.

1645
01:17:58,720 --> 01:18:04,120
Speaker 13: Yeah, glad to see Texas lose that game. Yeah. Brings

1646
01:18:04,120 --> 01:18:07,519
Speaker 13: the season totals to thirty six and twenty for Alex

1647
01:18:07,600 --> 01:18:10,599
Speaker 13: and I believe a forty two and twenty one from Monson.

1648
01:18:10,600 --> 01:18:13,720
Speaker 4: It sounds right. So I've got some work to do. Yeah,

1649
01:18:13,760 --> 01:18:16,200
Speaker 4: it's a major work to do. Yeah, yeah, all right,

1650
01:18:16,400 --> 01:18:16,920
Speaker 4: So here we go.

1651
01:18:17,000 --> 01:18:20,960
Speaker 13: This week, we have the Bills as two and a

1652
01:18:21,000 --> 01:18:23,760
Speaker 13: half point road favorites at the Dolphins.

1653
01:18:24,720 --> 01:18:27,400
Speaker 2: We've talked a lot about this game. We open the

1654
01:18:27,400 --> 01:18:30,240
Speaker 2: show with it. We talked to Maddy Glad. The division

1655
01:18:30,479 --> 01:18:34,840
Speaker 2: is on the line for this game. I am rolling

1656
01:18:35,320 --> 01:18:38,920
Speaker 2: with the red hot Bills, who need to win this

1657
01:18:39,400 --> 01:18:41,439
Speaker 2: to get into the playoffs. As I mentioned, both teams

1658
01:18:41,439 --> 01:18:44,320
Speaker 2: playing for the division. But Josh Allen has been lights

1659
01:18:44,320 --> 01:18:48,679
Speaker 2: out right now and we've heard the reports Bill's mafia

1660
01:18:48,760 --> 01:18:51,200
Speaker 2: is rolling deep down to Miami.

1661
01:18:50,840 --> 01:18:51,320
Speaker 4: To this game.

1662
01:18:51,840 --> 01:18:55,200
Speaker 3: I cannot agree with you more. I think the pick

1663
01:18:55,800 --> 01:18:56,439
Speaker 3: is the Bills.

1664
01:18:56,520 --> 01:18:58,400
Speaker 4: Okay, yeah, all right.

1665
01:18:58,479 --> 01:19:01,320
Speaker 13: Next up we have the Bears taking on the Packers

1666
01:19:01,320 --> 01:19:03,760
Speaker 13: in Lambeau. The Packers are a three point favorite at home.

1667
01:19:04,520 --> 01:19:06,479
Speaker 4: This is so tough. Go go on.

1668
01:19:06,880 --> 01:19:12,559
Speaker 3: I am taking the Bears to beat the Packers. The Bear,

1669
01:19:12,880 --> 01:19:14,759
Speaker 3: Justin Fields is not gonna lose this one.

1670
01:19:14,800 --> 01:19:16,519
Speaker 4: He's not. He's playing for his career. He's playing for

1671
01:19:16,560 --> 01:19:16,920
Speaker 4: his career.

1672
01:19:17,080 --> 01:19:18,880
Speaker 3: And I know the Packers are also playing, but I'm

1673
01:19:18,880 --> 01:19:19,519
Speaker 3: taking the Bears.

1674
01:19:19,640 --> 01:19:23,519
Speaker 2: Call me crazy, crazy, I'm gonna take the Packers when

1675
01:19:23,760 --> 01:19:28,360
Speaker 2: and they are in they are playing with a different emotion. Right, Yes,

1676
01:19:28,400 --> 01:19:30,240
Speaker 2: there's a lot of question marks about the Bears and

1677
01:19:30,439 --> 01:19:34,880
Speaker 2: Justin Fields, but the Packers have an opportunity to make

1678
01:19:35,320 --> 01:19:36,840
Speaker 2: the postseason with Jordan loves first year.

1679
01:19:36,840 --> 01:19:37,800
Speaker 4: So I'm taking the Packers. All right.

1680
01:19:37,840 --> 01:19:40,800
Speaker 13: Let's quick shortly here the Texans one and a half

1681
01:19:40,800 --> 01:19:42,360
Speaker 13: point road favorites at the Colts.

1682
01:19:42,439 --> 01:19:44,880
Speaker 4: Uh huh. I'm going to take the Texans.

1683
01:19:44,920 --> 01:19:45,200
Speaker 1: C J.

1684
01:19:45,360 --> 01:19:49,759
Speaker 2: Stroud and the Texans. Stroud is having a rookie record season.

1685
01:19:49,920 --> 01:19:53,639
Speaker 2: If he clicks and goes off, they're winning.

1686
01:19:54,360 --> 01:19:57,880
Speaker 3: I'm also taking the Texans actually on this one. I

1687
01:19:57,920 --> 01:20:00,479
Speaker 3: think c J. Stroud, like we said, he's a real deal.

1688
01:20:00,760 --> 01:20:02,280
Speaker 3: I think he's gonna go out there and show off.

1689
01:20:03,400 --> 01:20:03,760
Speaker 1: All right.
