Best 0:01:02.000 --> 0:01:04.080 and Worst to the weekend, which is saw that you 0:01:04.160 --> 0:01:06.959 liked you didn't like, say good morning to Peacock, our 0:01:07.000 --> 0:01:10.600 TV partner, and our great radio affiliates around the country, 0:01:10.600 --> 0:01:14.319 say good morning to chat Row as well. If you 0:01:14.360 --> 0:01:17.160 ever thought the impact of the quarterback is overrated, just 0:01:17.200 --> 0:01:19.360 look at the matchups that we have in the NFL 0:01:19.400 --> 0:01:23.039 conference title games. You got Tom Brady versus Aaron Rodgers. 0:01:23.280 --> 0:01:26.640 You got Patrick Mahomes versus Josh Allen. That is, if 0:01:26.720 --> 0:01:31.000 Mahomes is healthy. Brady Rogers certainly speaks for itself, Brady 0:01:31.040 --> 0:01:34.399 the Goat. While many think Rogers is the most talented 0:01:34.440 --> 0:01:37.640 quarterback of all time, and if it's not Rogers, then 0:01:38.000 --> 0:01:41.640 that honor probably goes to Patrick Mahomes. He's already got 0:01:41.640 --> 0:01:44.679 one Super Bowl ring and should be in line for 0:01:44.720 --> 0:01:47.160 a few more. Josh Allen, he's the newcomer here, but 0:01:47.200 --> 0:01:50.080 he played like an MVP down the stretch and is 0:01:50.120 --> 0:01:53.960 as dangerous as anyone in the group. And the formula 0:01:54.040 --> 0:01:56.960 is really simple. You get an all time great quarterback, 0:01:57.000 --> 0:01:59.520 go deep into the playoffs. I'm sure the GMS are 0:01:59.520 --> 0:02:01.400 going to be watching this weekend going we got to 0:02:01.400 --> 0:02:04.480 get one of those guys, and good luck, because these 0:02:04.520 --> 0:02:08.400 guys are special. Should make for some exciting conference title games. 0:02:08.840 --> 0:02:12.440 As far as the availability of Patrick Mahomes, we don't 0:02:12.480 --> 0:02:16.400 know a concussion concussion protocol, but here is his head coach, 0:02:17.200 --> 0:02:21.040 Andy Reid talking about Patrick Mahomes and how well he's doing. 0:02:21.560 --> 0:02:23.079 He's actually doing very well, and I just talked to 0:02:23.160 --> 0:02:27.400 him and he's doing good. We'll see how he is tomorrow, 0:02:27.400 --> 0:02:32.320 but I mean, right now, he is sound good. A 0:02:32.360 --> 0:02:34.240 lot of times we may see something and go, oh, 0:02:34.240 --> 0:02:36.720 that didn't look bad, and then we realize it is bad. 0:02:36.919 --> 0:02:38.480 Or sometimes you think, oh, I don't know how that 0:02:38.480 --> 0:02:42.440 guy's getting up. This didn't look egregious. You know, it 0:02:42.440 --> 0:02:44.440 didn't look like mac Wilson. You know it was a 0:02:44.520 --> 0:02:48.680 cheap shot. Lamar Jackson, same thing when he got knocked out. 0:02:48.840 --> 0:02:53.240 You're never quite sure when the impact of that play 0:02:53.280 --> 0:02:55.640 and what it does to that person. But you saw 0:02:55.639 --> 0:02:58.680 that yesterday and Chad Henny came to the rescue, and 0:02:58.760 --> 0:03:02.320 here's Andy Reid talking about his backup quarterback to I'm 0:03:02.320 --> 0:03:04.920 proud of Chad and the way he handled everything. And yeah, 0:03:04.919 --> 0:03:07.240 he probably said it best when he said, listen, this 0:03:07.240 --> 0:03:09.520 team is unbelievable. When somebody has to come in and 0:03:09.560 --> 0:03:12.519 make it him feel comfortable and that's what team's all about. 0:03:12.560 --> 0:03:14.600 So again, I'm just I'm proud of the way he 0:03:14.639 --> 0:03:17.480 handled things. So yeah, and he should be because that 0:03:17.600 --> 0:03:20.280 was one of those moments if you start to see 0:03:20.280 --> 0:03:23.320 the momentum shift a little bit, Chad Henny's coming in 0:03:23.800 --> 0:03:26.280 all of a sudden, he throws an interception and then 0:03:26.320 --> 0:03:29.120 he comes back and makes two of the greatest plays. 0:03:29.720 --> 0:03:32.160 Well it's not a great resume, but there are two 0:03:32.960 --> 0:03:35.280 high end plays for him, and what he did this 0:03:35.440 --> 0:03:39.120 scramble and then also that fourth down pass that you 0:03:39.160 --> 0:03:42.160 know basically allowed them to run out the clock. But 0:03:42.200 --> 0:03:45.440 as far as surprises go, there was a report prior 0:03:45.520 --> 0:03:48.280 to the start of the Saints Buccaneers by Jay Glazier. 0:03:48.320 --> 0:03:50.800 It's what I think most of his thought that this 0:03:50.840 --> 0:03:53.840 could be Drew Brees his last game. He is sort 0:03:53.880 --> 0:03:57.560 of holding off retirement talk, but you got that feeling 0:03:57.640 --> 0:04:00.480 that this was it. Here's breeze after the game. Is 0:04:00.640 --> 0:04:07.360 your last game? Well, I'll answer this question one time, 0:04:07.520 --> 0:04:09.560 and that is that I'm going to give myself an 0:04:09.600 --> 0:04:13.800 opportunity to think about the season, thinking about a lot 0:04:13.800 --> 0:04:17.360 of things, just like I did last year, and make 0:04:17.400 --> 0:04:20.560 it to see, Yeah, he didn't look good you had 0:04:20.600 --> 0:04:24.640 three interceptions there, and you start to think about he's 0:04:24.680 --> 0:04:28.400 played in three hundred and five games Drew Brees three 0:04:28.520 --> 0:04:32.960 hundred five NFL games that includes postseason. It was the 0:04:33.000 --> 0:04:36.479 only time in any of those games in which he 0:04:36.640 --> 0:04:39.839 both had at least three interceptions and he passed for 0:04:40.120 --> 0:04:43.320 under one hundred and fifty yards. It had been over 0:04:43.400 --> 0:04:45.800 four years since he was last picked off three times 0:04:45.800 --> 0:04:49.200 in a game Week fourteen of the twenty sixteen season, 0:04:49.400 --> 0:04:52.279 and that was also against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. But 0:04:52.440 --> 0:04:54.960 what you saw yesterday is I think what we've been 0:04:55.000 --> 0:04:57.400 seeing the last couple of years, and that is a 0:04:57.480 --> 0:05:00.839 steady decline with Drew Brees throwing the ball down the field, 0:05:02.080 --> 0:05:05.560 the offense isn't explosive. I thought the defense was the 0:05:05.640 --> 0:05:08.640 star this year for this team. I didn't think Tampa 0:05:08.760 --> 0:05:11.880 was great, but Tampa was opportunistic and Tampa has a 0:05:12.000 --> 0:05:14.880 very good defense. I told you Devin White is a star. 0:05:15.040 --> 0:05:19.000 He's only twenty two. But Winfield, You've got some players 0:05:19.040 --> 0:05:21.640 who can make some plays over there, and that'll be 0:05:21.680 --> 0:05:24.240 fun to see. Weather is going to be an issue 0:05:24.240 --> 0:05:26.839 in Green Bay. They'll probably be in the mid twenties, 0:05:26.920 --> 0:05:30.080 probably a chance of snow up there as well. And 0:05:30.120 --> 0:05:32.599 then you got Buffalo going to Kansas City. But we'll 0:05:32.640 --> 0:05:34.560 dive into a lot of this with Troy Aikman. He'll 0:05:34.640 --> 0:05:36.440 join us. Coming up Mclub and do you have a 0:05:36.480 --> 0:05:38.880 poll question for me? This program brought to you by 0:05:39.240 --> 0:05:42.120 M Drive.

Don't let h beat your rEFInd your 0:05:51.880 --> 0:05:54.599 prime with M drive. Okay, we have a bunch of 0:05:54.680 --> 0:05:58.599 NFL questions over here. You can start with a controversial rule, 0:05:59.080 --> 0:06:02.960 a quarterback future or Deshaun Watson. How about I ease 0:06:03.040 --> 0:06:07.039 into the show? Okay? How about we ease in? Okay, Well, 0:06:07.120 --> 0:06:09.839 let's start with an older gentleman, a man of leisure. 0:06:09.880 --> 0:06:13.640 Potentially if you're Drew Brees. Do you hang it out 0:06:13.680 --> 0:06:17.160 after yesterday? Yes? Or no? I don't want to tell 0:06:17.200 --> 0:06:21.080 anybody when to retire. I think we in the media, 0:06:21.520 --> 0:06:25.240 we want to be ahead of it. You want to 0:06:25.240 --> 0:06:27.520 be Are you ready to retire? You're going to retire? 0:06:27.560 --> 0:06:31.680 Peyton went through this for a long time and Drew Brees, 0:06:33.440 --> 0:06:35.560 you know, all the greats if you stay around long 0:06:35.680 --> 0:06:38.480 enough that like Ben Roethlisberger, we're going through that right now, 0:06:38.520 --> 0:06:41.520 maybe Philip Rivers going through that right now. I hope 0:06:41.560 --> 0:06:43.600 they get to play as long as they want to play, 0:06:43.640 --> 0:06:46.640 and somebody gives them that opportunity. And he's already got 0:06:46.680 --> 0:06:50.240 a great job at NBC Sports. My only concern, and 0:06:50.320 --> 0:06:53.040 it's a selfish one, is I don't like to see 0:06:53.040 --> 0:06:56.400 when these quarterbacks sort of fade away, like they go 0:06:56.480 --> 0:07:00.400 out and they they're limping when they walk off the field, 0:07:00.800 --> 0:07:06.120 maybe literally, maybe figuratively. But I I didn't think Drew 0:07:06.160 --> 0:07:09.200 Brees looked great this year. I didn't think he looked 0:07:09.240 --> 0:07:11.760 great last year. Now, you can put up good numbers 0:07:11.760 --> 0:07:15.800 in today's NFL, but are you truly dangerous? And I 0:07:15.840 --> 0:07:18.760 don't think Drew Brees was dangerous this year or last 0:07:18.840 --> 0:07:22.520 year for that matter. And you know, as a result, 0:07:23.280 --> 0:07:27.080 if the Saints wanting to come back, then that's on them. 0:07:27.120 --> 0:07:30.040 Then then you know, Sean Payton's a brilliant, offensive minded 0:07:30.360 --> 0:07:34.000 coach and if he sees something in there, then I'm 0:07:34.000 --> 0:07:37.040 going to trust his judgment there. But if I'm the Saints, 0:07:37.480 --> 0:07:41.680 I think it's time to move on. I just think 0:07:41.680 --> 0:07:44.320 you have some young offensive weapons there. I don't think 0:07:44.360 --> 0:07:48.200 Taysom Hill is the future there, but Sean Payton will 0:07:48.240 --> 0:07:50.280 defer to him. If he thinks he is, then I 0:07:50.320 --> 0:07:55.240 trust him. I want to remember Drew Brees as being 0:07:55.280 --> 0:07:58.440 a great player, but that's me if he wants to 0:07:58.480 --> 0:08:02.200 still continue to play great. It's very very rare when 0:08:02.240 --> 0:08:05.520 you see a quarterback and it's just a quarterback where 0:08:05.680 --> 0:08:08.040 he gets to make the call that this is it. 0:08:08.400 --> 0:08:10.760 You know John Elway couldn't play anymore. I mean it 0:08:10.880 --> 0:08:14.400 was that simple, or John would have come back. Because John, 0:08:14.760 --> 0:08:17.360 how can you win a Super Bowl and go I'm 0:08:17.360 --> 0:08:19.960 going to retire? You win a Super Bowl and you go, Man, 0:08:20.000 --> 0:08:23.600 I can like to win another one here. It's hard 0:08:23.640 --> 0:08:26.160 to leave no matter what. If you win, it's hard 0:08:26.160 --> 0:08:29.000 to leave. It's it's hard to leave when you lose. 0:08:29.400 --> 0:08:31.720 It might be harder to leave when you have a 0:08:31.800 --> 0:08:34.840 performance like that by Drew Brees because you feel like 0:08:34.880 --> 0:08:37.280 you let your city down, you let your team down, 0:08:37.960 --> 0:08:40.960 and nobody wants to go out that way. Did you 0:08:41.120 --> 0:08:44.000 see the cool video after the game, and this was 0:08:44.120 --> 0:08:46.960 late after the game, where Brady is getting ready to 0:08:47.000 --> 0:08:49.840 go to the bus and Breezes on the field with 0:08:49.920 --> 0:08:51.760 his kids. His boys always want to go out there 0:08:51.760 --> 0:08:55.960 and play some football. Breezes out there, sees Tom and 0:08:56.000 --> 0:08:59.000 they're right around the end zone and one of breezes 0:08:59.120 --> 0:09:02.080 boys is like, hey, you've thrown me a ball. And 0:09:02.160 --> 0:09:04.160 he had one of those little nerve footballs there and 0:09:04.200 --> 0:09:06.920 Brady's throwing him, you know, a touchdown there. It was. 0:09:07.000 --> 0:09:09.440 It was a cool moment to see two of the 0:09:09.480 --> 0:09:13.600 greats of all time and Tom understanding what that moment means, 0:09:14.080 --> 0:09:17.440 because we're not very far away from Tom having that 0:09:17.520 --> 0:09:19.960 same moment where you walk off the field for the 0:09:20.000 --> 0:09:22.000 final time. And I think you saw that with Drew 0:09:22.000 --> 0:09:24.360 Brees last night, Dan Seton. It is interesting, though, that 0:09:24.400 --> 0:09:26.040 you don't get the sense that Tom is ready to 0:09:26.080 --> 0:09:28.400 walk away at all, not even close, whereas Drew it's 0:09:28.440 --> 0:09:31.000 clearly on his mind. But Tom Brady doesn't look like 0:09:31.040 --> 0:09:34.959 he's ready even close. Nope, not at all. He already 0:09:34.960 --> 0:09:37.080 said that he's coming back next year. Gronk wants to 0:09:37.080 --> 0:09:40.360 come back next year. Yeah, McClean. What about Jamis Winson 0:09:40.360 --> 0:09:42.720 in this picture. I think he's a free agent, free 0:09:42.720 --> 0:09:46.720 agent two year deal. Oh, he did Okay, yeah, I 0:09:46.720 --> 0:09:49.360 thought it was a two year deal for what sixteen 0:09:49.440 --> 0:09:52.880 million dollars? No, No, that's Taysom. Oh did he do Jamis? 0:09:52.920 --> 0:09:55.679 I think is a million. Okay, yeah, so I think 0:09:55.679 --> 0:09:57.600 they have to make a decision on him. But how 0:09:57.600 --> 0:10:00.559 about a Jamis Taysom combination next year. I think that's 0:10:00.600 --> 0:10:03.840 kind of interesting. Yeah. I need somebody I can count on, 0:10:04.679 --> 0:10:07.400 like I don't like the interchangeable parts. By the way, 0:10:07.440 --> 0:10:10.319 if I knew a trick play was coming when Jameis 0:10:10.360 --> 0:10:13.920 Winston came in, I would have thought the Buccaneers would 0:10:13.920 --> 0:10:16.600 have known there was a trick play coming because he 0:10:16.640 --> 0:10:19.600 wasn't going to go out for a pass and okay, 0:10:19.600 --> 0:10:24.040 we're gonna line you up over here. Something's up, something's up, 0:10:24.120 --> 0:10:26.120 and then all of a sudden he throws a touchdown pass. 0:10:26.240 --> 0:10:31.160 But there was a lot. There was a lot this weekend, 0:10:31.320 --> 0:10:34.360 you know, the Browns with the Chiefs. And I told 0:10:34.400 --> 0:10:38.000 you I liked the Browns. I thought they would hang around. 0:10:38.120 --> 0:10:40.840 Kansas City allowed them to hang around, and they had 0:10:40.880 --> 0:10:43.720 an opportunity and I know that we'll talk about the 0:10:43.760 --> 0:10:45.880 fumble that went out of the end zone there. I 0:10:45.880 --> 0:10:50.000 don't like the rule with Rashad Higgins. I don't like it, 0:10:50.640 --> 0:10:52.440 but you know, this is where you come up with 0:10:52.440 --> 0:10:55.240 a solution. It's one thing to say they got to 0:10:55.240 --> 0:10:58.440 get rid of that rule. Okay, so what is the solution? 0:10:59.520 --> 0:11:01.160 I think the dan end. So I'm going to open 0:11:01.200 --> 0:11:03.600 it up to you guys. You guys come up with 0:11:04.320 --> 0:11:07.160 try to convince me what you think the rule should be. 0:11:07.160 --> 0:11:09.480 Because this is where this is what we do. We're 0:11:09.520 --> 0:11:12.560 in the moment. There's no way a team that doesn't 0:11:12.600 --> 0:11:14.920 have a five hundred record winning their division should host 0:11:15.000 --> 0:11:18.280 a playoff. Okay, now we move on from the Washington 0:11:18.360 --> 0:11:21.520 football team. This is when you keep it alive, or 0:11:21.559 --> 0:11:23.800 you hope the NFL keeps it alive, to say, hey, 0:11:24.160 --> 0:11:28.280 let's reconsider this with the NFL Competition Committee. You have 0:11:28.400 --> 0:11:31.960 this rule that's in place when the offense going for 0:11:32.000 --> 0:11:33.920 the pylon. If you have the ball and it goes 0:11:33.920 --> 0:11:37.640 out of the end zone, then you lose control of 0:11:37.679 --> 0:11:40.160 the football there. All right. I don't like it, but 0:11:40.200 --> 0:11:43.080 it is the rule. And I go back to a 0:11:43.160 --> 0:11:47.600 play that Ryan Tannehill had and Mike Vrabel he fumbled. 0:11:47.600 --> 0:11:50.200 Tannehill fumbled the ball. I don't know the exact week 0:11:50.240 --> 0:11:56.120 when it was, but Vrabels said to Tannehill, protect the football, like, yeah, 0:11:56.160 --> 0:11:59.439 you know the rule. Protect the football. Now does it 0:11:59.600 --> 0:12:02.040 duel with one of the more exciting plays in the 0:12:02.120 --> 0:12:04.800 NFL when you're reaching for the pylone? Yes, I just 0:12:04.840 --> 0:12:09.640 don't think the offense should be penalized that harshly. Now 0:12:09.800 --> 0:12:12.480 move it back to the twenty yard line. Let him 0:12:12.520 --> 0:12:16.120 have the ball again. Okay, they lose the down. Okay, 0:12:16.559 --> 0:12:19.079 but that didn't cost the Cleveland Browns in my opinion. 0:12:19.880 --> 0:12:23.440 Uh in Kansas City allowed them to stay in the game. 0:12:23.720 --> 0:12:26.000 I mean, was it devastating, you know where you lose 0:12:26.360 --> 0:12:30.440 you know the momentum like that? Absolutely? Yeah, see that. 0:12:30.840 --> 0:12:33.800 I kind of love the swing of emotions though, where 0:12:34.040 --> 0:12:37.400 this dude's diving for the pylon and unfortunately, you know, 0:12:37.480 --> 0:12:40.840 if you don't don't fumble the ball. Well, that's that's 0:12:40.880 --> 0:12:44.240 what Belichick would always say. Belichick would say, protect the ball. 0:12:44.280 --> 0:12:47.240 You know what the rule is. And Vrabel, disciple of Belichick, 0:12:47.520 --> 0:12:50.880 said to Ryan Tannehill, protect the ball, like, you know 0:12:50.960 --> 0:12:53.400 the rule. We're not changing the rule. It's not like 0:12:53.440 --> 0:12:55.640 it happens where you let's change the rule right now 0:12:55.720 --> 0:12:57.920 or like the idea though that like, oh, hey, come on, 0:12:57.960 --> 0:13:01.600 that fun ball. You can't fair. You know we fumbled, 0:13:01.640 --> 0:13:04.280 but I mean at least give him the ball back. Yeah, Todd, 0:13:04.720 --> 0:13:07.439 it wasn't recovered by the other team. He made a play. 0:13:07.640 --> 0:13:09.760 They're all about offense, the league and every way shape 0:13:09.800 --> 0:13:11.960 or formed with their rules. He's diving and trying to 0:13:11.960 --> 0:13:13.439 make the play. It slipped out of his hand, it 0:13:13.480 --> 0:13:15.440 goes into the end zone. The punishment should be no 0:13:15.600 --> 0:13:18.160 worse than getting the ball twenty away the other team 0:13:18.240 --> 0:13:21.079 gets it. Shocks me. We finally came up with a 0:13:21.200 --> 0:13:23.839 rule that helps the defense, and then we want to 0:13:23.880 --> 0:13:26.160 get rid of it here. Yeah, you're right about Belichick. 0:13:26.240 --> 0:13:28.200 Three years ago, it happened in a game to another team, 0:13:28.200 --> 0:13:30.400 and some beat reporter just asked Belichick what he thinks 0:13:30.400 --> 0:13:32.200 about it, and he said, we have a policy that 0:13:32.240 --> 0:13:34.040 you do not reach for the end zone and you 0:13:34.040 --> 0:13:35.960 will get benched if you do. So. He tells, like, 0:13:36.000 --> 0:13:37.920 the rookies, don't try to make that play because the 0:13:37.920 --> 0:13:41.080 downside is too big. Yeah, I don't like the rule. 0:13:41.600 --> 0:13:43.199 I don't like a team that doesn't have a five 0:13:43.280 --> 0:13:46.640 hundred record winning its division hosting a playoff game. But 0:13:47.240 --> 0:13:51.160 if you don't move to change the rule. Then history 0:13:51.200 --> 0:13:53.800 will repeat itself, and then we'll come back three years 0:13:53.800 --> 0:13:55.840 from now and we'll go can you believe that they 0:13:55.920 --> 0:13:58.920 got a home game for the playoffs? Yes, mccleman. See 0:13:58.920 --> 0:14:01.680 the NFL marketing arm. All they do is show SloMo 0:14:01.760 --> 0:14:04.959 of guys diving for that pylon. So they love that play, 0:14:05.120 --> 0:14:07.960 and that rule encourages them not to do that play. 0:14:08.080 --> 0:14:10.000 So I think they should definitely get rid of it. 0:14:10.600 --> 0:14:13.040 I know, but I have to have something that does 0:14:13.160 --> 0:14:16.760 penalize the offense. I don't think you should lose the football. Yeah, yea, 0:14:16.880 --> 0:14:19.160 So maybe go to the twenty that so, well, that's 0:14:19.400 --> 0:14:21.440 I'm gonna let you wait. You guys can do a 0:14:21.440 --> 0:14:24.440 little homework here and you guys will get a twenty 0:14:24.440 --> 0:14:27.600 second presentation where you tell me what you think you 0:14:27.600 --> 0:14:31.280 should do with that play that call? What else? Do 0:14:31.320 --> 0:14:33.200 we have a full question? One? Well, we talked about 0:14:33.240 --> 0:14:36.840 the Saints. Of the four losers from the weekend, who 0:14:36.920 --> 0:14:38.720 is in the brightest shape moving forward? So you got 0:14:38.800 --> 0:14:44.000 the Saints, you got Cleveland, Baltimore, and the Rams. That's 0:14:44.040 --> 0:14:48.240 an interesting question because I'm trying to look at this 0:14:48.320 --> 0:14:50.800 and go, Okay, you're gonna have a quarterbacking change in 0:14:50.880 --> 0:14:57.440 New Orleans. Baltimore needs some wide receivers. The Rams got 0:14:57.440 --> 0:15:03.960 a great defense and a question market quarterback. And Cleveland. 0:15:05.280 --> 0:15:08.960 I think Cleveland's on the right track. I do. I think. 0:15:09.160 --> 0:15:12.800 I think Kevin Stefanski has done a great job. Baker 0:15:12.840 --> 0:15:17.720 Mayfield I think showed improvement theres I think maturity. I'll 0:15:17.760 --> 0:15:21.160 start there. They got run running backs, they got a 0:15:21.200 --> 0:15:24.720 really good offensive line. I'd show up the defense I got. 0:15:24.800 --> 0:15:28.360 They need some help there. And if you want Odell 0:15:28.400 --> 0:15:31.240 Beckham junior back, or you trade him, whatever you decide 0:15:31.240 --> 0:15:34.360 to do. But I see a lot of promise with Cleveland. 0:15:35.160 --> 0:15:39.400 I do. And if Ben Roethlisberger steps down in Pittsburgh, 0:15:39.600 --> 0:15:42.160 you know you still have Baltimore in there. But the 0:15:42.200 --> 0:15:45.680 Browns can still be that ten eleven win team. Absolutely, 0:15:46.040 --> 0:15:50.720 But the Rams. I'm curious about the Rams because I've 0:15:50.760 --> 0:15:53.000 said before in the last two years, and as much 0:15:53.040 --> 0:15:54.880 as I like him as a person and a guest 0:15:54.880 --> 0:15:59.040 on the show, there's question marks with Jared Goff, I 0:15:59.160 --> 0:16:01.840 really think, and I thought he played well. You're you're 0:16:01.840 --> 0:16:04.720 playing with that broken thumb and you're in Green Bay 0:16:04.760 --> 0:16:08.480 trying to match up Aaron Rodgers there. He didn't hurt 0:16:08.520 --> 0:16:12.200 them yesterday. Maybe he didn't help them as much as 0:16:12.240 --> 0:16:16.040 you want your star quarterback to help you, but I'm 0:16:16.080 --> 0:16:18.200 not going to put that on Jared Goff. It just 0:16:18.240 --> 0:16:21.400 felt like, you know, after the game, Sean McVay said, hey, 0:16:21.400 --> 0:16:25.520 we're basically evaluating everybody here. Yeah, Paul on Baker Mayfield 0:16:25.680 --> 0:16:28.360 last year, twenty two touchdowns, twenty one picks. This year 0:16:28.400 --> 0:16:31.680 twenty six touchdowns, eight picks. Yeah, And I think that's 0:16:31.760 --> 0:16:34.880 Kevin Stefanski the play calling. I think they understood who 0:16:34.880 --> 0:16:38.440 they were and they hung in there like a younger team, 0:16:38.520 --> 0:16:42.840 inexperienced team. Usually you're gonna fold, you're gonna fade, you know, 0:16:42.880 --> 0:16:46.000 you're down double digits to Mahomes in Kansas City. But 0:16:46.040 --> 0:16:52.840 they didn't. You know, they're a running team, and I 0:16:52.880 --> 0:16:55.560 think that that's probably goes against everything that Baker wants 0:16:55.600 --> 0:16:58.960 to do. But that put you in position to stay 0:16:59.000 --> 0:17:01.920 in that game yesterday. Yeah, mcclub, I think there's a 0:17:02.000 --> 0:17:05.480 problem with Baltimore and Lamar Jackson. It's not I think 0:17:05.480 --> 0:17:08.440 he the cold weather doomed him on Saturday. Like he said, 0:17:08.440 --> 0:17:10.400 he never played in the snow. He's a Florida guy. 0:17:11.080 --> 0:17:12.879 I don't know, like, is he ever going to be 0:17:13.000 --> 0:17:16.000 a postseason quarterback. I think the cold weather kind of 0:17:16.280 --> 0:17:18.159 is not great for him. I can't explain it. He 0:17:18.200 --> 0:17:20.399 plays in Baltimore. I know, I was thinking if he 0:17:20.480 --> 0:17:22.280 got a home games, which he could have got, like, 0:17:22.320 --> 0:17:24.240 would that have made a difference a little one. Tom 0:17:24.280 --> 0:17:28.399 Brady and Aaron Rodgers are from California, I know, but yeah, 0:17:28.440 --> 0:17:30.840 but they You know, Deshaud had never played in a 0:17:30.840 --> 0:17:32.880 snow game his whole life up to this point, He's 0:17:32.960 --> 0:17:36.440 never once played in snow. I mean, sorry, Lamar, Yeah, 0:17:36.640 --> 0:17:38.960 you know, Brady had not played in a snow game 0:17:39.320 --> 0:17:43.440 up until the Raiders that talk Bowl game, never in Michigan. 0:17:43.600 --> 0:17:46.600 Never once. Well, cold weather, but I don't think big 0:17:46.640 --> 0:17:50.280 snow like that. But I think that there was no 0:17:50.400 --> 0:17:53.760 snow for Lamar. There was wind. Also, the Ravens had 0:17:53.800 --> 0:17:56.359 it such an a rickety season be's of COVID like 0:17:56.440 --> 0:17:58.480 I think they did. You know, I don't think they 0:17:58.480 --> 0:18:01.560 were really a good that's a good team. Yeah, and 0:18:01.800 --> 0:18:04.040 you know they lost some offensive linemen. They just didn't 0:18:04.080 --> 0:18:09.120 seem explosive. And I thought they had their magic there. 0:18:09.160 --> 0:18:11.240 I thought they had their mojo. The last six weeks 0:18:11.240 --> 0:18:14.600 of the season. And but give credit to Buffalo. I mean, 0:18:14.640 --> 0:18:18.360 Buffalo did. Buffalo said we think we can contain Lamar Jackson, 0:18:18.400 --> 0:18:22.080 and they did exactly that. But that was a close game. 0:18:23.400 --> 0:18:27.360 You know, if Lamar connects on the play before the interception, 0:18:28.600 --> 0:18:32.680 you know, you know, that was a fourteen point swing. 0:18:34.440 --> 0:18:37.800 So he has a touchdown, and then the next play 0:18:37.920 --> 0:18:41.359 he throws the interception. That's fourteen points right there, and 0:18:41.440 --> 0:18:44.480 that was it. Yeah, Now wide receivers got to tackle him. 0:18:44.760 --> 0:18:49.200 You know, he had had his arms on him. Now, yeah, 0:18:49.280 --> 0:18:52.280 all right, we'll talk to Troy Aikman coming up. What 0:18:52.359 --> 0:18:55.639 advice would he give Drew Brees because Troy nearly came 0:18:55.680 --> 0:19:00.400 back I think three times out of retirement. I think 0:19:00.400 --> 0:19:04.439 three times. He was thirty five when he retired, and 0:19:04.520 --> 0:19:07.960 Troy had quite a few concussions, and I think that 0:19:08.040 --> 0:19:10.880 played a large role in this. But I know the 0:19:10.920 --> 0:19:15.040 Eagles there was a possibility. There was the Chargers, I 0:19:15.080 --> 0:19:18.840 believe the possibility, and then there was the Dolphins. I think. 0:19:19.119 --> 0:19:21.840 So Troy, you know, once you go, you go, and 0:19:21.880 --> 0:19:26.480 that's it. And and Troy, you know, you start to go, gosh, 0:19:26.520 --> 0:19:29.560 I could still play again. And Drew is going to 0:19:29.640 --> 0:19:32.280 have this if he goes to NBC is in their 0:19:32.320 --> 0:19:35.040 studio show. There will be times when he'll be in 0:19:35.119 --> 0:19:38.119 the moment like I should be out there. It's like 0:19:38.160 --> 0:19:41.000 Tony Dungee, I should be out there coaching. But once 0:19:41.000 --> 0:19:45.760 you move past that, then it's almost like you realize that, Okay, 0:19:46.080 --> 0:19:48.560 I left that behind. Now there's nothing I can do 0:19:48.600 --> 0:19:51.040 about it. Your phone call is always welcome. We'll get 0:19:51.040 --> 0:19:52.879 to those best and worst of the weekend as we 0:19:52.960 --> 0:19:55.600 always do. We'll make way for the Hall of Famer 0:19:55.640 --> 0:19:57.800 Troy Aikman, who will join us coming up next twenty 0:19:57.800 --> 0:20:02.600 one after the hour.
