Speaker 1: get it on and we start off with this. Ephraim.

7
00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:26,680
Speaker 1: I'm reminded it was either a week or two ago

8
00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:30,600
Speaker 1: I was getting the story from you about how you

9
00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:35,400
Speaker 1: and your lovely met and how you started your relationship.

10
00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:40,080
Speaker 1: You remember sharing that story, yes, And this was classically

11
00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:44,519
Speaker 1: one of those things where you told me it was

12
00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:49,760
Speaker 1: pretty quick to when you just quote knew, you just knew.

13
00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:53,400
Speaker 1: And how many great relationships do you know where when

14
00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:55,800
Speaker 1: you ask them, you know, young person's like, how do

15
00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:59,360
Speaker 1: you know when you're in love? Well, the answer is

16
00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:03,160
Speaker 1: because there's no other good answer. You just know, just know,

17
00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:09,280
Speaker 1: you just know. Well, Pittsburgh Steeler fans, now's that time,

18
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:14,280
Speaker 1: isn't it. I don't know what the change is. I

19
00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:19,600
Speaker 1: just know it's time for something, but it's time for

20
00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:23,959
Speaker 1: something to be different with Pittsburgh Steeler Nation.

21
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:31,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, I you're right. And before we start, let me

Speaker 2: it is it is a sight. Man, it is heartbreaking.

26
00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:54,440
Speaker 2: It is gut wrenching to see the devastation of these fires.

27
00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:58,200
Speaker 2: People are losing everything. And when I mean everything, I

28

32
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:22,080

00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:26,120
Speaker 2: whatever it is you can do to help. Because the

34
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:28,840
Speaker 2: fires are still going. I'm talking about whole neighborhoods. It's

35
00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:31,919
Speaker 2: not like in the mountains. I'm talking about their whole

36
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:37,040
Speaker 2: city's gone. And shout out to the first responders, to

37
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:40,160
Speaker 2: firefighters from all over the country who've come in and

38
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:42,640
Speaker 2: out of the country in some cases to lend a

39
00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 2: helping hand. We packed up when there was a you know,

40
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:50,919
Speaker 2: the Hollywood Hills fire. Then there was a fire right

41
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:53,280
Speaker 2: down in Sherman Oaks, so we had, you know, packed

42
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:55,440
Speaker 2: up and on the ready and ready to go. These

43
00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:58,640
Speaker 2: fires are still going. Thank god. We've had a break

44
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:00,400
Speaker 2: on with the wind, but the win is supposed to

45
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:03,040
Speaker 2: pick up again. So keep those who are affected in

46
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:06,320
Speaker 2: your prayers and anything you can do that you think

47
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:09,880
Speaker 2: you can do to lind a hand, Linda Han, bring food,

48
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:13,240
Speaker 2: bring water. These firefighters are going, you know, twenty four

49
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:15,519
Speaker 2: to forty eight hours straight without any rest because they're

50
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:18,160
Speaker 2: fighting and fighting and fighting. So shout out to all

51
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:22,079
Speaker 2: the first responders and those out here trying to save

52
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:23,440
Speaker 2: lives and protect property.

53
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:30,240
Speaker 1: Thank you for putting first things first, because it's something

54
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:33,720
Speaker 1: that I'm sure people around the country, especially if you

55
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:38,280
Speaker 1: don't know the area, you can't really wrap your head around.

56
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:42,600
Speaker 1: And you know, I've moved from southern California, but when

57
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:45,600
Speaker 1: I live there, it was pretty dang close to a

58
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:48,040
Speaker 1: lot of the stuff that is being affected. So there

59
00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:53,120
Speaker 1: are plenty of friends and loved ones and whatnot who

60
00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:57,240
Speaker 1: are in this area. I know you are still in

61
00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:00,160
Speaker 1: the area. We know if you're a faithful listener to

62
00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:03,240
Speaker 1: the network that Fox Sports Radio is in the neighborhood

63
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:06,080
Speaker 1: to the point where we had to shut down operations

64
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:12,240
Speaker 1: temporarily this week, and so this has been this has

65
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:16,279
Speaker 1: been something and I just i'm almost a from I'm

66
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:22,839
Speaker 1: afraid to really dive into what this the after math,

67
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:25,599
Speaker 1: which I know we're not there, we're not in aftermath,

68
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:29,120
Speaker 1: we're not fully there yet, but like, I'm afraid to

69
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:32,760
Speaker 1: see what this looks like because this is not a

70
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:36,880
Speaker 1: forest fire. This is not a forest fire for people

71
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:39,560
Speaker 1: who you know, don't live in California, and you hear

72
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:43,320
Speaker 1: people politicize stuff like this and get into this, that

73
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:45,839
Speaker 1: and the other about what's going on. This is not

74
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:49,880
Speaker 1: a forest fire. The fire hydrants were full. This is

75
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:55,920
Speaker 1: a disaster of epic proportions going through unbelievably beautiful residential neighborhoods.

76
00:04:56,520 --> 00:05:01,159
Speaker 1: And it's overwhelming. It's overwhelming. I there's there are just

77
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:04,080
Speaker 1: no words for what for what everybody's going through there.

78
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:06,839
Speaker 1: So I appreciate you putting that off the top, because

79
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:08,880
Speaker 1: that that should have been what both of us said first.

80
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:09,960
Speaker 1: So so thank you for that.

81
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:10,680
Speaker 2: Absolutely.

82
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:13,680
Speaker 1: And I'm and I'm thinking of you, and I'm and

83
00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:16,680
Speaker 1: I'm thinking of of all of our co workers, and

84
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:19,680
Speaker 1: I'm thinking of everybody who's listening to us on AM

85
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:24,440
Speaker 1: five seventy right now in southern California. Just awful.

86
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:27,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, And listen, it's awful, it's anohing. We can we

87
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:30,839
Speaker 2: could just you know, with that said, we could try

88
00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:33,640
Speaker 2: to entertain you and maybe you got your headphones on.

89
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:36,440
Speaker 2: You're sitting somewhere in the gym or an evacuation center.

90
00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:39,280
Speaker 2: You just want to get away from the reality of

91
00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:43,680
Speaker 2: the horrific reality of what's happening right now. So you know,

92
00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:47,160
Speaker 2: for those who are seeking solids, just sit back and

93
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:50,120
Speaker 2: relaxing and and we're going to carry you, carry you

94
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:51,920
Speaker 2: through this thing for at least three hours.

95
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:56,440
Speaker 1: Today, no doubt, no doubt. Yeah, it's uh, it's one

96
00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:59,440
Speaker 1: way or another. It seems like those tough times are

97
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:02,200
Speaker 1: never very far away from everybody right now. But yes,

98
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:05,000
Speaker 1: we hope that these NFL playoffs or anything that we

99
00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:08,640
Speaker 1: have fun with or to say tonight, gives you some

100
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:12,479
Speaker 1: sort of distraction that feels good in the moment. So

101
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:16,039
Speaker 1: here we are, here, we are getting ready for the

102
00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:19,719
Speaker 1: football game that they put on Sunday night, because one

103
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:22,640
Speaker 1: way or another, I think they feel like these are

104
00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:25,640
Speaker 1: some characters that people like watching, from a Jayden Daniels

105
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:29,000
Speaker 1: to a Baker Mayfield to a Mike Evans. And on

106
00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:33,400
Speaker 1: another front, I think that we're probably expecting some fireworks tonight,

107
00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:36,320
Speaker 1: and I kind of said that earlier. I think you're

108
00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:39,599
Speaker 1: gonna need to score thirty points to win this football game.

109
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:42,200
Speaker 1: So here we go, man, buckle up, and this is

110
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:44,960
Speaker 1: your squad. You've been talking about him since before the

111
00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:48,280
Speaker 1: year started, So here's where we get to see how

112
00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:50,360
Speaker 1: ready they are for this particular year.

113
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:53,039
Speaker 2: Yeah, and look, we saw a little bit earlier. We

114
00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:56,920
Speaker 2: saw bow Nicks running to a bus. Saw. You know,

115
00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:02,560
Speaker 2: there's a reason why a rookie starting quarterbacks don't farewell

116
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:06,360
Speaker 2: in their first playoff payers. I think three guys have

117
00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:10,720
Speaker 2: won their first two playoff games out of all the

118
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:13,200
Speaker 2: rookie starting quarterbacks. It's tough to do, and the level

119
00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:18,840
Speaker 2: of maturity that you need to have, it's real. The

120
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:22,960
Speaker 2: one thing as a rookie coming out of the preseason

121
00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:26,400
Speaker 2: and starting the regular season, I was like, Wow, this

122
00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:29,800
Speaker 2: is different, right, because there's stages and their levels to this.

123
00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:34,160
Speaker 2: So coming out of college and getting into the preseason,

124
00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:39,800
Speaker 2: you're like, Wow, this is fast, this is intense, and

125
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:43,800
Speaker 2: then that level goes up again. That speed, the intensity

126
00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:46,520
Speaker 2: of the moment goes up again when you come from

127
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:50,400
Speaker 2: preseason into regular season, right because now these count these

128
00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:53,360
Speaker 2: things matter. And once you get through the regular season

129
00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:58,480
Speaker 2: and then you go into the playoffs, as if it

130
00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:03,560
Speaker 2: was possible, this increases again because this is it. It's

131
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:06,120
Speaker 2: a it's a winner, go home. There's a lot on

132
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:09,560
Speaker 2: the line, and so the attention to detail is greater,

133
00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:14,520
Speaker 2: the speed is faster, and so as a rookie, a

134
00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:16,800
Speaker 2: young rookie, and I, you know, I went through all

135
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:22,040
Speaker 2: those phases and started, you have to be able to

136
00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:27,080
Speaker 2: jump in because it's it's intense. And as as a quarterback,

137
00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:30,640
Speaker 2: as the leader of a team in an offense, that

138
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:34,800
Speaker 2: could be a little bit daunting because everybody's looking at

139
00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:37,680
Speaker 2: you to set the pace, set the tempo, don't make mistakes.

140
00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:42,080
Speaker 2: And when we saw how difficult it was for for

141
00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:43,920
Speaker 2: both for both Knicks earlier.

142
00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:46,960
Speaker 1: Well, no doubt. I mean, if you really look at

143
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:50,160
Speaker 1: a lot of the guys throughout the NFL who we love,

144
00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:54,920
Speaker 1: winning a playoff game, my god, it's hard.

145
00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:55,760
Speaker 2: Oh my goodness.

146
00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:59,920
Speaker 1: You're like, think of some of the really great quarterbacks

147
00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:02,439
Speaker 1: and then think of how many of them where you

148
00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:06,720
Speaker 1: only need one hand to count how many times they've

149
00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:10,320
Speaker 1: won a playoff game. And I'm thinking right now, like

150
00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:13,880
Speaker 1: for example, and I should look this up, but I

151
00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:18,320
Speaker 1: feel comfortable jumping into this if memory serves correct. A

152
00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:23,200
Speaker 1: player like Matt Stafford, who's won a Super Bowl, I

153
00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:25,960
Speaker 1: think you can use one hand and count as playoff wins.

154
00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:30,240
Speaker 1: We've got this MVP Bowl that's now set for next week.

155
00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:33,280
Speaker 1: That's what they're calling it. It's gonna be Lamar Jackson

156
00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:36,720
Speaker 1: versus Josh Allen. Guess what you could look at it

157
00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:40,960
Speaker 1: from the standpoint of these two dudes are just they

158
00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:44,520
Speaker 1: are restaurant quality, man like. For my money, these are

159
00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:48,880
Speaker 1: the two best players in the NFL, right and one

160
00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:50,560
Speaker 1: of them is going to go to the AFC title

161
00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:54,160
Speaker 1: game again. But guess what one of them is gonna

162
00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:58,199
Speaker 1: do it again, which t is to say you're gonna

163
00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:01,640
Speaker 1: make the playoffs and not really go anywhere of significance.

164
00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:08,080
Speaker 1: It's so incredibly difficult as a quarterback to a mass

165
00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:12,240
Speaker 1: playoff victories. I think we could have that conversation on

166
00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:14,960
Speaker 1: an in depth level about both of these guys that

167
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:17,720
Speaker 1: we're gonna watch tonight and what it means for their

168
00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:18,800
Speaker 1: careers going forward.

169
00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:21,160
Speaker 2: And what you realize is things have to go right.

170
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:24,240
Speaker 2: Everything has to go right. You cannot make mistakes. We

171
00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:28,320
Speaker 2: just watched Jordan Love and the Green Bay Packers. Just

172
00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:31,320
Speaker 2: from the beginning of the game, they weren't ready to

173
00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:35,160
Speaker 2: play opening kickoff, you fumble, you give up points, and

174
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:38,000
Speaker 2: then you turn the ball over two more times after that.

175
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:41,600
Speaker 2: That means you're not ready to play dropping passes like

176
00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:45,520
Speaker 2: it's you have to be locked in and buttoned up.

177
00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:49,920
Speaker 2: It's very difficult to lose the turnover battle and win

178
00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:52,079
Speaker 2: a game in the regular season, let alone the playoffs.

179
00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:55,560
Speaker 2: If you give a playoff team that many more possessions,

180
00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:58,560
Speaker 2: and that's what a turnover is for those who are

181
00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:03,839
Speaker 2: not quite sure why you're giving the team extra possessions.

182
00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:07,400
Speaker 2: So I guess, and I don't have the numbers to

183
00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:10,480
Speaker 2: back this up, but I would say on average, a

184
00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:14,040
Speaker 2: team in any quarter would get two to maybe three

185
00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:17,960
Speaker 2: possessions in any quarter. If you can push that up

186
00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:21,440
Speaker 2: to five possessions a quarter, your chances of winning that

187
00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:26,040
Speaker 2: quarter and that have in that game grow immensely. That's

188
00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:29,160
Speaker 2: what it's about. It's about you possessing the ball longer

189
00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:31,880
Speaker 2: than the other team, and if you can force the

190
00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:36,320
Speaker 2: turnover that gives you an unscheduled possession, that's what it's

191
00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:39,160
Speaker 2: all about. And if you're careless with the ball, it's

192
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:40,800
Speaker 2: hard to get those possessions back.

193
00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:43,520
Speaker 1: Who do you like in this game tonight?

194
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:48,760
Speaker 2: I like Washington. I like Washington in this game because

195
00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:56,920
Speaker 2: I believe that the Jaden Daniels is is is young

196
00:11:57,080 --> 00:12:02,680
Speaker 2: enough to not understand just what this is. Right when

197
00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:07,440
Speaker 2: we when I watched Bo Nicks hit Buffalo in the

198
00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:14,080
Speaker 2: mouth from the beginning, yeah, first job, it was like, oh, okay,

199
00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:17,120
Speaker 2: so this this is that that ignorance right like, this

200
00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:19,000
Speaker 2: is that I'm just going out here and I'm slinging

201
00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:22,800
Speaker 2: this thing now. Buffalo batten down. I was some yeah,

202
00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:26,760
Speaker 2: some shaky you know, you know, play calling and stuff

203
00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:28,800
Speaker 2: like that. But you know, shout out to Buffalo. They are,

204
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:31,679
Speaker 2: you know, one of the top teams uh in AFC.

205
00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:36,559
Speaker 2: But if you can stay on that level of trajectory.

206
00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:38,959
Speaker 2: The thing I love about Jason Daniels is he can

207
00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:41,920
Speaker 2: just go when things break down, which they will. We

208
00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:46,000
Speaker 2: saw Lamar Jackson do it a bunch yesterday. I Mean,

209
00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:49,120
Speaker 2: they had no answer for his ability to extend plays

210
00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:52,439
Speaker 2: with his feet, and he came out with the notion of, oh,

211
00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:55,240
Speaker 2: I'm not You're not gonna catch me sitting in the pocket,

212
00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:58,800
Speaker 2: right They had a bunch of of of call to

213
00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:01,800
Speaker 2: quarterback runs just to set the tempo to loosen the

214
00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:06,360
Speaker 2: defense up, and he literally dismantled them the Steelers after that.

215
00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:10,880
Speaker 2: So I would think Jayden Daniels would have they would

216
00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:13,480
Speaker 2: have that sort of approach to him. You have to

217
00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:15,840
Speaker 2: give the defense something else to worry about. If you

218
00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:18,000
Speaker 2: can slow down the rush with your ability to scramble,

219
00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:19,959
Speaker 2: then that means you get time in the pocket to

220
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:21,079
Speaker 2: throw the ball down the field.

221
00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:23,200
Speaker 1: I can't wait to see this one. We haven't seen

222
00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:25,280
Speaker 1: a one score game yet. Do you think this is it?

223
00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:30,280
Speaker 2: I want to say yes, just in terms of a

224
00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:32,320
Speaker 2: fan and enjoying the game.

225
00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:35,600
Speaker 1: But probably all double digits. Oh really, you like Washington

226
00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:36,559
Speaker 1: by double digits?

227
00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:39,280
Speaker 2: I do? I do. Now, Look, and I don't want

228
00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:42,400
Speaker 2: to take anything away from Baker, but go ahead, we'll

229
00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:43,400
Speaker 2: talk about it on the other one.

230
00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:45,319
Speaker 1: We'll talk about it. Yeah, because this thing's about to

231
00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:47,600
Speaker 1: get started. We set the table with the Steelers. We

232
00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:49,880
Speaker 1: want to talk out out as well. We will. All

00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:37,160
Speaker 1: We're expecting some fireworks and the opening drive did not

247
00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:41,800
Speaker 1: take me away from that opinion. Bucks will have an

248
00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:45,280
Speaker 1: interesting call here. Okay, they're going to decline a penalty

249
00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:47,600
Speaker 1: on a made field goal, so field goals good would

250
00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:49,600
Speaker 1: have set up fourth. In real short they could have

251
00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:54,360
Speaker 1: gone for it. But the Bucks probably have been listening

252
00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:57,880
Speaker 1: to E from Salam on the radio the last few

253
00:14:57,920 --> 00:14:59,600
Speaker 1: weeks and they're like, no, no, no, he told me that

254
00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:00,680
Speaker 1: fil goes cool.

255
00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:01,000
Speaker 2: Dog.

256
00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:05,440
Speaker 1: Let's take that three h three nothing Bucks fifty yard

257
00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:08,720
Speaker 1: field goal by mcglofflin on the opening drive. As we

258
00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:11,480
Speaker 1: come to you live tie reck dot Com studios. Any

259
00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:13,239
Speaker 1: reactions to that opening drive.

260
00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:17,640
Speaker 2: No, I thought it was I thought it was good.

261
00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:20,600
Speaker 2: You know, nerves out there, drop past his you know,

262
00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:24,320
Speaker 2: stuff like that. But it's this is playoff football, man,

263
00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:27,840
Speaker 2: It's exciting. It's exciting. What I was, what I was

264
00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:31,920
Speaker 2: saying before break, Yeah, yep was. You know, Baker has

265
00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:36,880
Speaker 2: reinvented himself. But with someone like Baker, and this is

266
00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:40,080
Speaker 2: a you know, this could be a bad or a

267
00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:46,600
Speaker 2: good thing. Baker is always trying to prove himself. He

268
00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:50,000
Speaker 2: has a chip on the shoulder. We get it, and

269
00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:54,640
Speaker 2: so you force a lot when you do that. And

270
00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:57,920
Speaker 2: I would I would hope he wouldn't put the ball

271
00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:02,000
Speaker 2: in harm's away trying to do too much. So that's

272
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:04,360
Speaker 2: my only hesitation there with Tampa Bay.

273
00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:07,480
Speaker 1: I get it. And I got a different question about

274
00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:11,040
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield for you, and it's this. You said, he's

275
00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:16,480
Speaker 1: reinvented himself. There's no arguing whether or not Baker Mayfield

276
00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:21,560
Speaker 1: is a good player. He threw for forty five hundred yards,

277
00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:26,800
Speaker 1: forty one touchdown throws, sixteen interceptions. A little hot, that's hot.

278
00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:27,800
Speaker 1: That's a lot.

279
00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:30,080
Speaker 4: And that's that's the thing. And that's I think that's

280
00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:34,520
Speaker 4: your point. That's your point. But Baker's a good player.

281
00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:38,880
Speaker 4: He's in that interesting spot.

282
00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:42,080
Speaker 1: He sort of sits now where I think Sam Darnold

283
00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:45,800
Speaker 1: now sits in terms of free agency, depending on what

284
00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:49,560
Speaker 1: Sam does tomorrow night and where that goes next. He's

285
00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:52,080
Speaker 1: coming off of a game that probably didn't help his

286
00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:55,080
Speaker 1: finances or what have you. But they're sort of in

287
00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:59,080
Speaker 1: that spot where you're like, ugh, I'm not sure what

288
00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:01,080
Speaker 1: to do with this guy, because it's like this is

289
00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:06,640
Speaker 1: a starter, he's a starter, but are we going franchise

290
00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:11,080
Speaker 1: quarterback long term? You hesitate to do something like that,

291
00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:12,960
Speaker 1: and I guess the way I would ask it to

292
00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:16,159
Speaker 1: a franchise, and a lot of franchises end up in

293
00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:20,440
Speaker 1: this spot is like, well, what are you trying to do?

294
00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:26,639
Speaker 1: Because Baker's reinvented himself. He's good, but he's won a

295
00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:29,280
Speaker 1: division now two years in a row. That requires you

296
00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:33,119
Speaker 1: to not win very many football games. It requires you

297
00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:37,000
Speaker 1: to not beat very many good teams, And so are

298
00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:40,040
Speaker 1: you just trying to win that and kind of be

299
00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:44,560
Speaker 1: in the playoffs and then be food for somebody else,

300
00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:49,200
Speaker 1: or are you are you trying for the ultimate prize?

301
00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:52,959
Speaker 1: And if you are, trying for the ultimate prize. Is

302
00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:54,760
Speaker 1: that who you want as your quarterback?

303
00:17:57,200 --> 00:18:00,800
Speaker 2: Well, the answer to that is what your options?

304
00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:02,240
Speaker 1: Sure?

305
00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:09,040
Speaker 2: Right, Like it's you know, Baker and Tampa fits. They

306
00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:12,280
Speaker 2: play off his energy. He and Mike Evans have tremendous chemistry.

307
00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:15,920
Speaker 2: You know you're gonna get someone who's going to show

308
00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:17,879
Speaker 2: up and who's going to play no matter what the

309
00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:22,919
Speaker 2: circumstances are. I think that's important. I think Baker brings

310
00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:28,399
Speaker 2: an element of toughness. Like I said, it's hard to

311
00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:31,879
Speaker 2: be a you know, first round draft pick and have

312
00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:34,560
Speaker 2: a chip on your shoulder. First pick draft and have

313
00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:37,560
Speaker 2: a pick on the shoulder, But that's Baker. Anytime you

314
00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:40,720
Speaker 2: come out of Cleveland and survive, you'll have a chip

315
00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:46,440
Speaker 2: on your shoulder. So I think, especially in that division,

316
00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:49,880
Speaker 2: like you were saying, I think Baker fits. I think

317
00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:56,440
Speaker 2: Baker is that you know, toughness and that grit that

318
00:18:56,480 --> 00:19:01,000
Speaker 2: you need. Can he win all of it? I don't know.

319
00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:06,400
Speaker 2: I don't think your roster itself is stacked to win

320
00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:09,399
Speaker 2: all of it, you know. And that's more, that's not

321
00:19:09,520 --> 00:19:13,800
Speaker 2: some that's not a Baker issue, that's just you know,

322
00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:17,359
Speaker 2: any one more edge rusher Holoding Nada is A is

323
00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:19,679
Speaker 2: a heck of we we already know what that is.

324
00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:25,439
Speaker 2: I mean, vidave excuse me, vi Vidavea looks like he

325
00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:34,000
Speaker 2: ate holoding Nada. He is a tremendous, tremendous defensive piece.

326
00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:38,879
Speaker 2: But you do need another ed rusher. You do need

327
00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:43,560
Speaker 2: another weapon outside in terms of offensively. So there's some

328
00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:45,560
Speaker 2: some things that you can do to to build out

329
00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:49,760
Speaker 2: this team. But Baker at quarterback, I mean that works.

330
00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:51,520
Speaker 2: That that that does work.

331
00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:53,439
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm with you.

332
00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:59,320
Speaker 2: Beautiful pass and catch by McLaurin from goodness.

333
00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:02,000
Speaker 1: Gracious, it was real good. That was real good because

334
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:06,080
Speaker 1: that was also under hot pressure on third down. Jayden Daniels,

335
00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:08,640
Speaker 1: as you and I have been saying all year, one

336
00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:13,120
Speaker 1: thing I've always loved about him. He just looks calm.

337
00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:16,840
Speaker 1: And if that's his first playoff throw, I know he

338
00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:20,040
Speaker 1: threw one out of bounds on first down whatever, like

339
00:20:20,119 --> 00:20:24,680
Speaker 1: that's his first real like downfield throw in playoff action

340
00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:25,399
Speaker 1: of his career.

341
00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:30,240
Speaker 2: And oh boy, dude, is that dude is calm?

342
00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:34,800
Speaker 1: Brother and so high red zone already for Washington first

343
00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:38,320
Speaker 1: down and they're at the they're just inside the Tampa

344
00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:43,040
Speaker 1: Bay thirty and again trailing three to nothing, but we're

345
00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:44,879
Speaker 1: gonna keep you up to date all over this game.

346
00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:48,040
Speaker 1: I'm with you, and I actually think we've got to

347
00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:53,359
Speaker 1: stop doing this to quarterbacks because there are only two, three,

348
00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:57,600
Speaker 1: maybe four that really even deserved this conversation. And here's

349
00:20:57,640 --> 00:21:01,560
Speaker 1: what I mean by it. We keep telling quarterbacks that

350
00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:05,360
Speaker 1: if they don't have all of the pieces that they

351
00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:08,280
Speaker 1: need around them, well then they just need a cape

352
00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:13,000
Speaker 1: right here, put your cape on and be amazing and

353
00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:16,760
Speaker 1: just gather everybody on your shoulders and take them to

354
00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:21,359
Speaker 1: a super Bowl. That does not work that way. Now,

355
00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:23,960
Speaker 1: these two guys who are going to play next week

356
00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:27,880
Speaker 1: in Buffalo, Okay, that's sure, yea, then it works that way.

357
00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:32,480
Speaker 1: But you don't get one of those. Your team doesn't

358
00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:35,919
Speaker 1: get one of those. They might like once in your life,

359
00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:40,439
Speaker 1: you might get, but there's like, yes, you do not

360
00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:44,640
Speaker 1: need two hands of the guys. Yeah, And people would

361
00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:47,640
Speaker 1: add those two and Mahomes and Burrow, and even that

362
00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:53,880
Speaker 1: is possibly pushing it because Joe Burrow didn't even make

363
00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:59,240
Speaker 1: the playoffs, and and Patrick Mahomes is Patrick Mahomes and

364
00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:01,280
Speaker 1: he's won all these two but he's also like not

365
00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:04,000
Speaker 1: even in the top fifteen in QBR this year, he's

366
00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:07,120
Speaker 1: got all he's got a great defense and blah blah blah.

367
00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:09,639
Speaker 1: So we can have that conversation, but I'm more talking

368
00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:12,960
Speaker 1: about all the other dudes where it's like, we've got

369
00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:16,920
Speaker 1: to find a new way to talk about what counts

370
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:20,160
Speaker 1: as good in terms of NFL quarterbacking.

371
00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:28,120
Speaker 2: Yeah it, you know, there's good and great, like other

372
00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:33,000
Speaker 2: shows are good, but the thing that makes us great,

373
00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:39,160
Speaker 2: especially on Sundays from five to eight, is the man,

374
00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:43,480
Speaker 2: the myth, the legend, Steve the Great, the Sega.

375
00:22:44,119 --> 00:22:47,439
Speaker 5: Hello, gentlemen and boy, this is a good football weekend,

376
00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:49,760
Speaker 5: isn't it? The third of three games for a playoff

377
00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:53,280
Speaker 5: Sunday Super Wildcard weekend? Can we still call it that?

378
00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:56,760
Speaker 5: Tampa Bay is hosting and leading Washington three to nothing

379
00:22:56,880 --> 00:23:00,480
Speaker 5: mid first quarter, fifty yard field goal for the off

380
00:23:00,520 --> 00:23:04,159
Speaker 5: the opening drive and just now on a fourth and

381
00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:07,520
Speaker 5: two incomplete from Jade and Daniels, so a turnover on

382
00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:10,200
Speaker 5: downs and still three nothing for the Bucks, a team

383
00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:13,399
Speaker 5: that's won six of seven. Yes, in that stretch, they

384
00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:16,080
Speaker 5: beat Carolina twice, and the Giants and the Raiders and

385
00:23:16,119 --> 00:23:18,840
Speaker 5: the Saints. They did beat the Chargers impressively in La

386
00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:21,520
Speaker 5: with a dominant second half, but the wins a win.

387
00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:24,560
Speaker 5: They're ten and seven and they're hosting as a division champ,

388
00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:27,400
Speaker 5: a commander's team that's won five in a row going

389
00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:29,520
Speaker 5: into this one, and I mentioned a half hour ago,

390
00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:33,520
Speaker 5: Washington lost its season opener there at Tampa Bay thirty

391
00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:36,400
Speaker 5: seven to twenty. Baker Mayfield had four touchdown.

392
00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:37,560
Speaker 2: Passes in that one.

393
00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:40,359
Speaker 5: As for the game on Fox TV at Philadelphia, the

394
00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:43,800
Speaker 5: Eagles weren't superb, but they certainly were better than Green

395
00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:46,359
Speaker 5: Bay twenty two to ten is the final. Jalen Hurts,

396
00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:50,040
Speaker 5: return from the concussion protocol, had two touchdown passes one

397
00:23:50,119 --> 00:23:52,960
Speaker 5: hundred and thirty one yards through the air. Saquon Barkley

398
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:56,520
Speaker 5: twenty five carries one hundred and nineteen yards. Just not

399
00:23:56,600 --> 00:23:58,879
Speaker 5: a good day for the Packers, starting with fumbling the

400
00:23:58,920 --> 00:24:03,119
Speaker 5: opening kickoff and Jordan Love eventually through three interceptions. The

401
00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:07,320
Speaker 5: Pack out eleven and seven the final record, and they

402
00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:10,320
Speaker 5: started at Buffalo with the early touchdown by Denver, the

403
00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:13,480
Speaker 5: last team into the postseason in the AFC. The seven

404
00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:16,600
Speaker 5: Seeds did not score again lost thirty one to seven

405
00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:20,280
Speaker 5: at Buffalo, so the Bills, still undefeated at home, get

406
00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:24,160
Speaker 5: to host Baltimore in that quarterback matchup next weekend. Buffalo

407
00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:26,560
Speaker 5: the two seed in the AFC. They won the AFC

408
00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:29,240
Speaker 5: East for a fifth straight season. In this game, James

409
00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:32,440
Speaker 5: Cook one hundred and twenty yards rushing and a touchdown.

410
00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:35,240
Speaker 5: Among the NBA oh one other note that it's official

411
00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:38,160
Speaker 5: from the team, the Patriots hired Mike Rabel as head

412
00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:41,880
Speaker 5: coach to the NBA. Now it is just now a

413
00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:45,200
Speaker 5: final with the Boston Celtics winning up by point over

414
00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:48,920
Speaker 5: the Pelicans. Jason Tatum with thirty eight points. Pacers won

415
00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:52,200
Speaker 5: at Cleveland one o eight ninety three. The Bulls got

416
00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:54,800
Speaker 5: thirty six points from Zach Lavine, but lost at home

417
00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:57,760
Speaker 5: to the Sacramento Kings one twenty four to one to nineteen.

418
00:24:58,280 --> 00:25:02,040
Speaker 5: Nicks over the Bucks won four to one six Jalen

419
00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:05,760
Speaker 5: Brunson with forty four points. Among the college basketball games,

420
00:25:06,040 --> 00:25:09,760
Speaker 5: fifteenth ranked Oregon won eighty two eighty one at Penn State.

421
00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:14,160
Speaker 5: And guys, thanks for mentioning the wildfires in southern California

422
00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:16,399
Speaker 5: to start the show. It just is amazing to me

423
00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:20,159
Speaker 5: still to say out loud, there was a wildfire on

424
00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:24,640
Speaker 5: Sunset Boulevard. For those who are aware at all of

425
00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:27,520
Speaker 5: Los Angeles. This is, to say the least, a main

426
00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:30,960
Speaker 5: thoroughfare that goes past UCLA and all the way to

427
00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:34,040
Speaker 5: the ocean, to the Sunset. You know, I'll bring up

428
00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:36,000
Speaker 5: the fact that since we have Arnie Spaniard coming on

429
00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:38,320
Speaker 5: next after us every Sunday night, if we had a

430
00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:40,920
Speaker 5: dollar for every time he has mentioned his beloved high

431
00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:44,320
Speaker 5: school over the years, and yet it was Spaniard's alma mater,

432
00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:47,600
Speaker 5: Palisades High School that he has so often talked about

433
00:25:47,640 --> 00:25:51,159
Speaker 5: that burned. He went there, Steve Kerr, Janie Busts, many others.

434
00:25:51,560 --> 00:25:54,840
Speaker 5: That school located off Sunset Boulevard, very near the ocean,

435
00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:56,920
Speaker 5: so as you know, on the west side of the

436
00:25:56,960 --> 00:25:59,960
Speaker 5: four or five Freeway, so a few miles west of UCLA.

437
00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:03,000
Speaker 5: That high school's football field and baseball field are apparently

438
00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:06,280
Speaker 5: still there, along with some buildings. Even closer to the

439
00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:08,960
Speaker 5: high school is Riviera Country Club, where the PGA holds

440
00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:11,320
Speaker 5: a tournament every February, so it's due to be there

441
00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:14,159
Speaker 5: in a month. As far as total buildings lost, I

442
00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:16,720
Speaker 5: know as of last night this includes homes in LA

443
00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:20,560
Speaker 5: at least five thousand structures had been destroyed so far

444
00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:23,480
Speaker 5: this week, with a minimum of sixteen deaths as.

445
00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:27,639
Speaker 2: Well, not quite over. I love the fact that the NFL.

446
00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:30,400
Speaker 5: Starting every game is mentioning and of course the Rams

447
00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:33,679
Speaker 5: are not home to finish up Wildcard weekend tomorrow. The

448
00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:36,840
Speaker 5: Rams with a quote home game in Arizona tomorrow night

449
00:26:37,040 --> 00:26:37,920
Speaker 5: against the Vikings.

450
00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:41,480
Speaker 1: Back to you, Thank you, Steve. Yeah, appreciate it as

451
00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:44,960
Speaker 1: always really good stuff live ti rack dot com Studios.

452
00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:47,000
Speaker 1: There's more to say on that with the Rams and

453
00:26:47,119 --> 00:26:50,280
Speaker 1: Viking situation, and we will. But just because we want

454
00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:52,160
Speaker 1: to be top of mind with this game that we're

455
00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:55,280
Speaker 1: watching between Tampa and Washington, would you like to go

456
00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:56,880
Speaker 1: ahead and say it or what do you want?

457
00:26:56,920 --> 00:27:01,560
Speaker 2: The dumbest thing ever. It's incredible, you're in the dy

458
00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:02,280
Speaker 2: red zone.

459
00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:03,240
Speaker 1: It's incredible.

460
00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:05,600
Speaker 2: And a three point game on the road with the

461
00:27:05,680 --> 00:27:08,439
Speaker 2: rookie quarterback. You go first quarter and two in the

462
00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:12,000
Speaker 2: first quarter and you and you gotta take the points. Man,

463
00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:16,240
Speaker 2: Like this whole thing. Man is stressing me out. It's

464
00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:21,439
Speaker 2: bothering me because this is not how you win football games.

465
00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:25,879
Speaker 2: Someone ran down and said, well, the analytics say go

466
00:27:26,040 --> 00:27:31,680
Speaker 2: for it. Why did you type in rookie quarterback, first

467
00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:34,960
Speaker 2: playoff game on the road on the road against a

468
00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:40,480
Speaker 2: team that beats you here in this stadium. Did any

469
00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:43,520
Speaker 2: of that come up? So instead of squaring the game

470
00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:48,760
Speaker 2: back at three, you just give the ball back to

471
00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:53,520
Speaker 2: the offense of the opposing team and now they can

472
00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:58,440
Speaker 2: go up two scores. To me, that that doesn't make

473
00:27:58,480 --> 00:28:00,200
Speaker 2: sense at all.

474
00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:04,240
Speaker 1: I'm with you. I'm with you like I just it's

475
00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:06,800
Speaker 1: fourth down, Bravado and.

476
00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:09,720
Speaker 2: Dan Quinn, you're a defensive coach, Come on, bre It.

477
00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:14,639
Speaker 1: Is overwhelming the NFL right now. You and I sat

478
00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:17,879
Speaker 1: here and watched the Lions play the Vikings last week

479
00:28:18,200 --> 00:28:20,919
Speaker 1: and in a game that score got so out of

480
00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:24,480
Speaker 1: control and a performance by Jamier Gibbs that was so wonderful.

481
00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:27,720
Speaker 1: What got lost in all of this was how different

482
00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:30,760
Speaker 1: that game could have been based on two things. A.

483
00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:34,359
Speaker 1: Could Sam Darnold throw an accurate pass for once? And

484
00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:39,920
Speaker 1: B what the hell were the Vikings doing? They Dan

485
00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:43,000
Speaker 1: campbelled the game against Dan Campbell.

486
00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:45,240
Speaker 2: Against Dan Campbell, It's hard to help Dan Campbell.

487
00:28:45,320 --> 00:28:49,560
Speaker 1: Dan Campbell, well, not anymore because apparently what Dan Campbell

488
00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:53,000
Speaker 1: has is contagious and the rest of the league done

489
00:28:53,080 --> 00:28:56,880
Speaker 1: caught it. Because here we are. You're absolutely right, this

490
00:28:56,960 --> 00:29:00,520
Speaker 1: was not fourth and inches and we got it. Stop

491
00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:02,960
Speaker 1: with all of the like to me, do you want

492
00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:05,280
Speaker 1: to know what I actually think drives some of this?

493
00:29:05,640 --> 00:29:08,440
Speaker 1: People will will call out analytics, but do you know

494
00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:10,840
Speaker 1: what I think it also? Is it from? I really do?

495
00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:13,400
Speaker 1: I think it's social media? I really do.

496
00:29:13,640 --> 00:29:16,080
Speaker 2: Can't be please don't it had No.

497
00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:20,040
Speaker 1: It is because that's where the echo chamber lives.

498
00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:20,840
Speaker 2: Brin it down.

499
00:29:21,320 --> 00:29:23,960
Speaker 1: And I'm telling you, man, as much as we sit

500
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:27,479
Speaker 1: here and say, oh, fans don't have a voice, dude,

501
00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:32,080
Speaker 1: every fan in the stands with a phone or whatever,

502
00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:36,880
Speaker 1: you're like this wimpy, little wimpy wimp if you don't

503
00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:41,000
Speaker 1: go forward on fourth down all the time. I, my friend,

504
00:29:41,160 --> 00:29:43,200
Speaker 1: am a wimp. Me too.

505
00:29:43,760 --> 00:29:46,160
Speaker 2: What I'm going to do is collect these points. That's

506
00:29:46,160 --> 00:29:48,840
Speaker 2: what I'm gonna do, and then we're gonna see how

507
00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:50,200
Speaker 2: this thing shakes out at the end.

508
00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:52,160
Speaker 1: Are in the fourth Put them in your pocket. Put

509
00:29:52,200 --> 00:29:54,440
Speaker 1: them in your pocket. That's three. You got three in

510
00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:57,880
Speaker 1: your pocket right now, which remains how many points they're

511
00:29:57,920 --> 00:30:00,840
Speaker 1: down in the game the road. I don't get it.

512
00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:05,640
Speaker 2: He's a rookie. He threw a wonderful pass where I

513
00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:09,480
Speaker 2: talked about the psychological effects of this last week. When

514
00:30:09,480 --> 00:30:13,920
Speaker 2: you drive the ball down the field into scoring position

515
00:30:14,560 --> 00:30:19,080
Speaker 2: and you don't get points. Psychologically, it affects your offense,

516
00:30:19,560 --> 00:30:26,200
Speaker 2: especially when you have a young quarterback. Psychologically, it affects

517
00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:29,640
Speaker 2: you because you've done all this work to get there,

518
00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:33,680
Speaker 2: you through the perfect pass, you've gained all of these

519
00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:38,560
Speaker 2: are sixty sixty yards to come away with nothing. It

520
00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:44,120
Speaker 2: it affects you your mentality and you try to push

521
00:30:44,160 --> 00:30:46,120
Speaker 2: it off, like, all right, we're gonna get him next time. No, no, no,

522
00:30:46,160 --> 00:30:49,880
Speaker 2: we had him this time. So you start to lose

523
00:30:49,880 --> 00:30:52,080
Speaker 2: a little faith. Okay, we're going forward again. Like it

524
00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:56,080
Speaker 2: plays tricks on you, man, And that's the mental aspect

525
00:30:56,120 --> 00:30:58,720
Speaker 2: of the game that people don't know. And it puts

526
00:30:58,800 --> 00:31:01,800
Speaker 2: more pressure on your young quarter feeling like, oh, I

527
00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:06,280
Speaker 2: gotta make this play right, Like you don't want to

528
00:31:06,280 --> 00:31:09,440
Speaker 2: see your rookie quarterback throw a pick or fumble the

529
00:31:09,480 --> 00:31:13,160
Speaker 2: ball on fourth and two in scoring position. Wow, you know,

530
00:31:13,240 --> 00:31:14,760
Speaker 2: why would you put him in that situation?

531
00:31:15,040 --> 00:31:19,560
Speaker 1: No, you just demonetize that beautiful throw that he hit Terry.

532
00:31:19,440 --> 00:31:21,400
Speaker 2: McLaurin with might as well have not even done it.

533
00:31:21,400 --> 00:31:26,920
Speaker 1: You demonetized it. Beautiful throw, third down, first, lengthy pass,

534
00:31:26,960 --> 00:31:30,080
Speaker 1: of his playoff NFL career, throws a dot and you

535
00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:36,680
Speaker 1: turned it into a goose for nothing. Stupid. All right,

536
00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:41,120
Speaker 1: we'll keep going on this. Glad you're with us tonight.

537
00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:43,360
Speaker 1: We do want to get back to the Steelers, but

538
00:31:43,440 --> 00:31:49,880
Speaker 1: in particular one individual Steeler that we need to talk about,

539
00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:51,600
Speaker 1: and we will do that coming up next with I

540
00:31:51,640 --> 00:31:53,520

Speaker 1: Tampa is, but they're losing.

547
00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:21,040
Speaker 2: They look good, they look good.

548
00:32:18,280 --> 00:32:23,560
Speaker 1: They do, Yeah, they did. Jaden Daniels is you know

549
00:32:23,600 --> 00:32:28,920
Speaker 1: who he looks like. He looks like Jaden Daniels. That

550
00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:32,440
Speaker 1: man is going to stick. I think that has been

551
00:32:32,560 --> 00:32:36,760
Speaker 1: established now. I'm not sure if it's true for one

552
00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:40,720
Speaker 1: of his NFL brethren, though. You got to listen to

553
00:32:40,800 --> 00:32:42,920
Speaker 1: this and we're gonna play it for you in just

554
00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:47,160
Speaker 1: a second, because I've decided that this dude, I can't

555
00:32:47,160 --> 00:32:53,160
Speaker 1: figure him out. I don't know what I don't know

556
00:32:53,200 --> 00:32:54,680
Speaker 1: what to do with him, Do you know what to

557
00:32:54,680 --> 00:32:58,960
Speaker 1: do with him? We're talking about George Pickens of the

558
00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:03,120
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh Steelers. Take a listen to this exchange when he's

559
00:33:03,280 --> 00:33:09,240
Speaker 1: asked about the offense during his time in Pittsburgh, where

560
00:33:09,280 --> 00:33:12,080
Speaker 1: it's been and where it's heading. Where have you done

561
00:33:12,080 --> 00:33:12,640
Speaker 1: with this offense?

562
00:33:12,680 --> 00:33:12,840
Speaker 2: Kind?

563
00:33:12,880 --> 00:33:13,440
Speaker 1: For three years?

564
00:33:13,520 --> 00:33:15,040
Speaker 3: Have you seen signs of growth?

565
00:33:15,080 --> 00:33:16,960
Speaker 1: And how much more rasis can starting to grow?

566
00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:17,960
Speaker 2: Offensive? Yeah?

567
00:33:17,960 --> 00:33:21,720
Speaker 1: I've seen signs of growth for sure, from from past,

568
00:33:21,840 --> 00:33:24,000
Speaker 1: you know, the first year I've been here. Just just

569
00:33:24,040 --> 00:33:25,000
Speaker 1: way more growth for sure.

570
00:33:26,200 --> 00:33:28,240
Speaker 3: Which does gonna make you optimistic going forward?

571
00:33:29,240 --> 00:33:29,480
Speaker 1: Uh?

572
00:33:29,680 --> 00:33:30,720
Speaker 4: Nah?

573
00:33:31,480 --> 00:33:36,840
Speaker 1: Okay, First of all, First of all, it's kind of hilarious,

574
00:33:37,760 --> 00:33:40,160
Speaker 1: and if you didn't catch it, it was have you

575
00:33:40,240 --> 00:33:42,920
Speaker 1: seen signs of growth since you've been here for the

576
00:33:42,920 --> 00:33:48,520
Speaker 1: three years? Oh? Absolutely, I've seen all kinds of growth? Absolutely? Okay,

577
00:33:48,680 --> 00:33:51,840
Speaker 1: So then does that make you more optimistic about the future? No?

578
00:33:55,440 --> 00:33:59,440
Speaker 1: All right, all right, My dude gets into sideline tantrums

579
00:33:59,480 --> 00:33:59,960
Speaker 1: every other.

580
00:34:01,400 --> 00:34:04,000
Speaker 2: He pouts unsure about his hands.

581
00:34:04,480 --> 00:34:08,160
Speaker 1: Unsure about his hands. That's right, Like, he is a

582
00:34:08,400 --> 00:34:12,719
Speaker 1: very talented role player, but there's a butt in there.

583
00:34:14,360 --> 00:34:18,319
Speaker 1: I just, dude, I don't know if I want that

584
00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:21,040
Speaker 1: guy on my favorite team. You know what I mean?

585
00:34:21,080 --> 00:34:23,200
Speaker 2: He has to go like Mike Tomlin, like they can

586
00:34:23,239 --> 00:34:25,120
Speaker 2: make the mistake like they've done with all the other

587
00:34:25,239 --> 00:34:28,120
Speaker 2: high profile receivers they've had, they have a history of

588
00:34:28,120 --> 00:34:33,320
Speaker 2: doing this now, or they can just move on. Is

589
00:34:33,360 --> 00:34:39,920
Speaker 2: he talented? Absolutely? Is that talent consistent enough? Absolutely not.

590
00:34:40,640 --> 00:34:44,759
Speaker 2: Does it warrant signing him to a lucrative extension? You

591
00:34:44,880 --> 00:34:49,880
Speaker 2: must be crazy? So look, hey man, you can go

592
00:34:49,960 --> 00:34:55,319
Speaker 2: find other receivers. You can't. You can't do that. You

593
00:34:55,360 --> 00:34:56,520
Speaker 2: can't do this again.

594
00:34:57,800 --> 00:35:02,000
Speaker 1: Well, now here's the thing. Just not a free agent.

595
00:35:01,920 --> 00:35:04,640
Speaker 2: No, no, no, okay, he has two years, ter No,

596
00:35:04,760 --> 00:35:06,439
Speaker 2: he's got one one.

597
00:35:06,560 --> 00:35:09,879
Speaker 1: So what that means is that this makes it a

598
00:35:10,080 --> 00:35:14,279
Speaker 1: very very key off season. He is heading into the

599
00:35:14,320 --> 00:35:17,120
Speaker 1: same off season and I'm not trying to put him

600
00:35:17,120 --> 00:35:19,360
Speaker 1: in this same sentence, but he is heading into the

601
00:35:19,360 --> 00:35:22,480
Speaker 1: same off season as I'm on Ross Saint Brown was

602
00:35:22,560 --> 00:35:26,520
Speaker 1: last year, as Justin Jefferson was last year, as Jamar

603
00:35:26,640 --> 00:35:31,239
Speaker 1: Chase will be this year. So those guys are on

604
00:35:31,280 --> 00:35:34,279
Speaker 1: a different level and they would be dumb to even

605
00:35:34,480 --> 00:35:37,120
Speaker 1: consider putting a helmet on their head until an extension

606
00:35:37,120 --> 00:35:41,120
Speaker 1: had been signed. Almana didn't. Justin didn't. Those teams took

607
00:35:41,160 --> 00:35:43,759
Speaker 1: care of him. Cincinnati will do the same for Jamar Chase.

608
00:35:43,800 --> 00:35:52,600
Speaker 1: I have no doubt, but George, I'm with you. Fourth

609
00:35:52,600 --> 00:35:55,480
Speaker 1: down again in field, goor they are. I mean, at

610
00:35:55,560 --> 00:35:57,040
Speaker 1: least this time it's only fourth.

611
00:35:56,840 --> 00:35:58,640
Speaker 2: And one doesn't matter. Don't do it.

612
00:35:58,680 --> 00:35:59,719
Speaker 1: I know, I know.

613
00:36:00,840 --> 00:36:05,040
Speaker 2: Oh god, this is awful. This is bad, dan Quinn.

614
00:36:06,080 --> 00:36:08,680
Speaker 2: Don't they get called time out. They're gonna call timeouts.

615
00:36:08,719 --> 00:36:11,960
Speaker 1: They can think about the dumbness and then probably come

616
00:36:11,960 --> 00:36:15,480
Speaker 1: back with with more Dumbo. We'll see.

617
00:36:16,360 --> 00:36:18,480
Speaker 2: If you were gonna if you were gonna go for it,

618
00:36:18,840 --> 00:36:25,440
Speaker 2: then why would you run a quarterback power? Why wouldn't

619
00:36:25,480 --> 00:36:28,680
Speaker 2: you just attack the line of scrimmage. The more you

620
00:36:28,920 --> 00:36:34,560
Speaker 2: run sideways, the less likely you are to gain a yard.

621
00:36:35,040 --> 00:36:38,840
Speaker 2: Just f yi. So if you were planning on doing

622
00:36:38,880 --> 00:36:42,480
Speaker 2: this on the last down, then you go up the middle,

623
00:36:42,520 --> 00:36:45,120
Speaker 2: you hand the ball up the middle. This is this

624
00:36:45,280 --> 00:36:50,440
Speaker 2: is bad. I okay he's doing coming out of the time.

625
00:36:50,719 --> 00:36:53,799
Speaker 2: I'm not watching. I got my eyes closed. You tell

626
00:36:53,880 --> 00:36:56,680
Speaker 2: me what happens. I will I will not do play

627
00:36:57,040 --> 00:36:59,799
Speaker 2: guys or closed, but I will let you know.

628
00:37:00,040 --> 00:37:03,839
Speaker 1: And the play has been completed, how it will go, oh, oh,

629
00:37:03,880 --> 00:37:08,400
Speaker 1: it's close out. Oh the running back, I think he

630
00:37:08,520 --> 00:37:13,080
Speaker 1: got it. I think I think he got it. Oh

631
00:37:13,239 --> 00:37:15,279
Speaker 1: they just handed it off. Yeah he got it.

632
00:37:15,320 --> 00:37:18,360
Speaker 2: Are they going to score a touchdown on this drive?

633
00:37:18,760 --> 00:37:21,359
Speaker 1: They better? Yeah. They handed it to Austin Eckler up

634
00:37:21,400 --> 00:37:24,680
Speaker 1: the middle and he got it by a football. He

635
00:37:24,840 --> 00:37:28,320
Speaker 1: got it. I mean he got hit a yard behind

636
00:37:28,320 --> 00:37:30,200
Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage and he had enough in it

637
00:37:30,280 --> 00:37:33,560
Speaker 1: to push forward and fell down just over the yellow line.

638
00:37:34,719 --> 00:37:40,800
Speaker 2: First down, Washington, don't Danklin, don't make me regret regret

639
00:37:40,880 --> 00:37:44,080
Speaker 2: my pig. All right, get down Jayden.

640
00:37:45,920 --> 00:37:48,080
Speaker 1: Anyway. Yeah, we'll keep you up to date.

641
00:37:48,560 --> 00:37:51,240
Speaker 2: But you see what they're doing. They are doing exactly

642
00:37:51,239 --> 00:37:53,600
Speaker 2: what I said they would do in terms of running

643
00:37:53,640 --> 00:37:57,040
Speaker 2: him like Lamar Jackson. Right, they're going to make the

644
00:37:57,120 --> 00:38:00,120
Speaker 2: other They're going to make Tampa Bay's defense respect what

645
00:38:00,160 --> 00:38:05,120
Speaker 2: they're doing offensively and respect Jayden Daniels. They're gonna loosen

646
00:38:05,280 --> 00:38:11,680
Speaker 2: up that defense and and have now you the Russian

647
00:38:11,719 --> 00:38:15,400
Speaker 2: is gonna loosen up the safeties of linebackers. All of

648
00:38:15,440 --> 00:38:17,880
Speaker 2: this can play in if they do this the right way,

649
00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:18,480
Speaker 2: they can play.

650
00:38:18,600 --> 00:38:21,759
Speaker 1: Yeahage, you get to the playoffs by the way, And

651
00:38:21,800 --> 00:38:24,920
Speaker 1: this is if any of you do, like any of

652
00:38:24,920 --> 00:38:28,040
Speaker 1: that DFS stuff that's out there, if you do you know,

653
00:38:28,520 --> 00:38:31,759
Speaker 1: prize picks and underdogs and all that, Like, if you

654
00:38:31,840 --> 00:38:35,279
Speaker 1: do this, this is just from me to you. This

655
00:38:35,400 --> 00:38:37,239
Speaker 1: is just my opinion. I could be wrong, and it's

656
00:38:37,280 --> 00:38:39,640
Speaker 1: nothing that works one hundred percent of the time. But

657
00:38:39,760 --> 00:38:45,360
Speaker 1: the point you're making is that they take the talent

658
00:38:45,719 --> 00:38:48,959
Speaker 1: that each player does really well and you just take

659
00:38:49,000 --> 00:38:51,799
Speaker 1: the training wheels off completely, Like you're like, we're not

660
00:38:52,120 --> 00:38:56,400
Speaker 1: scared of injury anymore. It's the playoffs. So in other words,

661
00:38:56,640 --> 00:38:59,000
Speaker 1: you saw it with like you're saying you saw Lamar

662
00:38:59,160 --> 00:39:01,360
Speaker 1: last night, I think you're seeing it with Jayden tonight

663
00:39:02,280 --> 00:39:05,120
Speaker 1: in the regular season when they try to exercise a

664
00:39:05,120 --> 00:39:09,840
Speaker 1: little caution with running those guys. It's like, well, Matt anymore,

665
00:39:10,239 --> 00:39:16,400
Speaker 1: not not come playoff time. Yeah, it's something something that

666
00:39:16,440 --> 00:39:18,960
Speaker 1: you can something you can you know, do some things.

667
00:39:18,760 --> 00:39:22,600
Speaker 2: With Jamie got a nice little gash in his face.

668
00:39:24,320 --> 00:39:27,480
Speaker 1: Yes he does. Yeah, time out on the field, So anyway.

669
00:39:27,719 --> 00:39:33,520
Speaker 2: Go ahead, Number one, protect him right, protect him his

670
00:39:33,640 --> 00:39:38,680
Speaker 2: first time out, put him in good situations. Obviously he's talented.

671
00:39:40,840 --> 00:39:43,520
Speaker 2: You have to protect him as a coach. You have

672
00:39:43,640 --> 00:39:49,440
Speaker 2: to now be the leader, right, This is not you know,

673
00:39:49,960 --> 00:40:01,600
Speaker 2: a seasoned Alan or mahomes are Jackson? Yeah, protect him?

674
00:40:01,880 --> 00:40:05,760
Speaker 1: Yep, yep. All right, we continue this conversation. We'll continue

675
00:40:05,800 --> 00:40:09,880
Speaker 1: the pickings conversation coming up next on Fox Sports Radio.

676
00:40:12,760 --> 00:40:15,799
Speaker 1: All right, your commanders have the lead now seven to three.

677
00:40:15,960 --> 00:40:19,400
Speaker 1: Is they made good on that fourth down conversion? So

678
00:40:20,040 --> 00:40:24,400
Speaker 1: maybe one point for both sides so far in this debate.

679
00:40:25,200 --> 00:40:29,280
Speaker 1: We're broadcasting live from the tireck dot com studios. Tyreck

683
00:40:39,480 --> 00:40:42,160
Speaker 1: should be. Yeah, Like if Dan Quinn were sitting here

684
00:40:42,239 --> 00:40:44,000
Speaker 1: right now, would he be like, I told you so.

685
00:40:44,440 --> 00:40:47,759
Speaker 2: No, No, you can't play that game in the playoffs.

686
00:40:49,960 --> 00:40:51,960
Speaker 2: There's a dangerous game to play in the playoffs.

687
00:40:52,200 --> 00:40:55,000
Speaker 1: Yep, I hear you, I hear you. So. Washington turned

688
00:40:55,000 --> 00:40:57,040
Speaker 1: down a field goal to go for it on fourth

689
00:40:57,080 --> 00:40:59,680
Speaker 1: on the first drive, got nothing, turned down the field

690
00:40:59,680 --> 00:41:01,840
Speaker 1: goal to go forward on the second drive, ended up

691
00:41:01,880 --> 00:41:04,560
Speaker 1: getting seven. So here we are Bucks with the ball

692
00:41:04,800 --> 00:41:09,719
Speaker 1: commander's leading seven to three. But that whole sort of

693
00:41:09,760 --> 00:41:13,840
Speaker 1: interlude was it interrupted a conversation that we were having

694
00:41:14,280 --> 00:41:18,800
Speaker 1: with regard to George Pickens, who yesterday after the game

695
00:41:19,400 --> 00:41:22,000
Speaker 1: was asked if he saw growth in the Steelers offense.

696
00:41:22,040 --> 00:41:24,200
Speaker 1: He said yes. Then he was asked does that make

697
00:41:24,280 --> 00:41:28,080
Speaker 1: him optimistic for the future. He said, uh, nah, it doesn't.

698
00:41:28,600 --> 00:41:31,080
Speaker 1: And George does this. George says a lot of stuff

699
00:41:31,080 --> 00:41:33,640
Speaker 1: in the locker room. He's got a lot going on

700
00:41:33,640 --> 00:41:37,040
Speaker 1: on the sidelines. He seems to need a lot of

701
00:41:37,080 --> 00:41:41,120
Speaker 1: pick me up conversations. So this is where I would

702
00:41:41,120 --> 00:41:45,280
Speaker 1: bet this is going this offseason. I bet that George

703
00:41:45,320 --> 00:41:48,200
Speaker 1: is going to ask for an extension. If the Steelers

704
00:41:48,200 --> 00:41:51,520
Speaker 1: are smart, it's my opinion they won't give it to him.

705
00:41:52,080 --> 00:41:56,960
Speaker 1: And we're going to look at a frustrating holdout and

706
00:41:57,040 --> 00:42:00,200
Speaker 1: a frustrating off season as the Steelers settle into at

707
00:42:00,239 --> 00:42:02,280
Speaker 1: another early playoff exit.

708
00:42:04,400 --> 00:42:19,600
Speaker 2: Yeah. If if they find themselves contemplating paying this young

709
00:42:19,680 --> 00:42:22,600
Speaker 2: man the type of money he I guess he would want,

710
00:42:25,200 --> 00:42:30,920
Speaker 2: this is this is gonna be a disaster. He just

711
00:42:31,040 --> 00:42:36,960
Speaker 2: hasn't shown the growth and the maturity to warrant that

712
00:42:37,160 --> 00:42:40,040
Speaker 2: level of money. What do you do when you reward

713
00:42:40,200 --> 00:42:46,400
Speaker 2: bad behavior with that type of contract. I mean, you

714
00:42:46,520 --> 00:42:50,960
Speaker 2: have the blueprint, You've seen it happen yep. So to

715
00:42:51,080 --> 00:42:56,560
Speaker 2: step into it and do that again, then you get

716
00:42:56,560 --> 00:43:03,000
Speaker 2: what you get. George Picking, Uh, Picking was the thirty

717
00:43:03,160 --> 00:43:11,320
Speaker 2: second receiver and receiving yards out of the starting receivers

718
00:43:12,560 --> 00:43:22,280
Speaker 2: at nine hundred yards. And so I just attitude, inconsistency,

719
00:43:22,840 --> 00:43:26,160
Speaker 2: all those are red flags. We're dating, We're about to

720
00:43:26,200 --> 00:43:31,600
Speaker 2: get engaged. That's what your second contract is. Your second

721
00:43:31,600 --> 00:43:36,520
Speaker 2: contract is a marriage, right, your second contract is a matter.

722
00:43:36,600 --> 00:43:39,759
Speaker 2: We're dating right now in your first contract. Now I'm

723
00:43:39,800 --> 00:43:44,080
Speaker 2: going to commit to you. In your second contract, we're

724
00:43:44,080 --> 00:43:50,160
Speaker 2: going to be married. Is that what you want? Do

725
00:43:50,160 --> 00:43:51,719
Speaker 2: you want that type of marriage? You want to come

726
00:43:51,719 --> 00:43:54,359
Speaker 2: home to that every day every Sunday after the game,

727
00:43:54,480 --> 00:44:00,320
Speaker 2: or Monday or Tuesday or sometimes Wednesday, now Thursday, Saturday.

728
00:44:00,000 --> 00:44:09,160
Speaker 1: Ocasionally yeah, yeah, right, No, I don't know the answer

729
00:44:09,239 --> 00:44:13,439
Speaker 1: is no, I don't I want I want no part

730
00:44:13,480 --> 00:44:16,520
Speaker 1: of it, and I don't want no, I don't want

731
00:44:16,560 --> 00:44:20,680
Speaker 1: to be a receiverist. But there's too many of these

732
00:44:20,719 --> 00:44:25,560
Speaker 1: guys who are waving at you around the league, and listen,

733
00:44:26,120 --> 00:44:31,040
Speaker 1: I'm fine with it. If you really show you for

734
00:44:31,200 --> 00:44:34,600
Speaker 1: that guy. Like I even thought last offseason was sort

735
00:44:34,640 --> 00:44:40,520
Speaker 1: of annoying from Jamar Chase because he sat out and

736
00:44:40,560 --> 00:44:42,759
Speaker 1: then he showed up, and it was almost as if

737
00:44:42,760 --> 00:44:46,800
Speaker 1: he was like sending a pre message, because dude, it's

738
00:44:46,960 --> 00:44:51,200
Speaker 1: not even extension time yet. He's not there yet, he's

739
00:44:51,200 --> 00:44:54,520
Speaker 1: not going into the final year of his deal. But

740
00:44:54,719 --> 00:44:57,200
Speaker 1: it was like he wanted to send a warning shot.

741
00:44:58,160 --> 00:45:00,560
Speaker 1: And I know he's all that. There are plenty of

742
00:45:00,640 --> 00:45:02,960
Speaker 1: dbs who would tell you that's the hardest cover in

743
00:45:03,040 --> 00:45:05,400
Speaker 1: the whole NFL, and his numbers are through the roof,

744
00:45:05,440 --> 00:45:08,360
Speaker 1: and he and Joe Burrow are a problem, and this,

745
00:45:08,560 --> 00:45:12,240
Speaker 1: that and the other. That's all true. What's also true

746
00:45:12,920 --> 00:45:17,640
Speaker 1: is that he showed out. His quarterback showed out, and

747
00:45:17,760 --> 00:45:19,600
Speaker 1: where are they this weekend.

748
00:45:22,320 --> 00:45:23,879
Speaker 2: Home hanging out?

749
00:45:23,960 --> 00:45:26,919
Speaker 1: This is It's my point, it's been your point. We've

750
00:45:26,920 --> 00:45:31,120
Speaker 1: been saying it all year. If this year did not

751
00:45:31,520 --> 00:45:35,840
Speaker 1: pop the receiver bubble, I don't know what will, because

752
00:45:35,880 --> 00:45:38,440
Speaker 1: there's too much evidence that they are not the lynch

753
00:45:38,480 --> 00:45:42,520
Speaker 1: pinned to winning at the highest of levels number one,

754
00:45:43,320 --> 00:45:46,840
Speaker 1: and there's too many of them who, quite frankly, don't

755
00:45:46,880 --> 00:45:49,080
Speaker 1: act like your friendly neighborhood running back.

756
00:45:49,480 --> 00:45:51,200
Speaker 2: So let me give you a breakdown out of the

757
00:45:51,239 --> 00:45:52,240

00:46:53,000 --> 00:47:00,759
Speaker 2: If that doesn't speak volumes, then your deaf. That's it.

772
00:47:03,120 --> 00:47:03,560
Speaker 2: That's it.

773
00:47:05,120 --> 00:47:07,680
Speaker 1: The funny thing is is you could have kept going

774
00:47:07,719 --> 00:47:09,799
Speaker 1: and made it a top fifteen. I could have the

775
00:47:09,840 --> 00:47:13,560
Speaker 1: next Yeah, Trey McBride, Jackson Smith and Jig But George Kittle,

776

Speaker 1: Garrett Wilson not in the playoffs. Not in the playoffs,

777
00:47:17,440 --> 00:47:21,680
Speaker 1: not in the playoffs, and Jack's notes, not in the playoffs.

778
00:47:21,800 --> 00:47:25,839
Speaker 2: Flip side, flip side of that, flip side of that rushing.

779
00:47:27,040 --> 00:47:27,600
Speaker 1: Exactly.

780
00:47:27,719 --> 00:47:32,360
Speaker 2: Top ten. Let's see how many are not in the playoffs.

781
00:47:33,239 --> 00:47:36,960
Speaker 2: Number four, number three, b John Robinson not in the playoffs,

783
00:47:48,600 --> 00:47:50,040
Speaker 2: Chooper Hubbard, number eight.

784
00:47:50,920 --> 00:47:55,920
Speaker 1: That's it, that's it, sa Kwon Derrick, Henry Jamir Gibbs,

785
00:47:56,040 --> 00:48:03,640
Speaker 1: Josh Jacobs, Kyron Williams, Aaron Jones, Bucky I like Bucky

786
00:48:03,680 --> 00:48:06,840
Speaker 1: Irving Man. I like Bucky is a good player. Yeah,

787
00:48:07,080 --> 00:48:11,520
Speaker 1: but by the way, like that's a great point. But

788
00:48:11,600 --> 00:48:14,120
Speaker 1: I'll take it a step further. Of those top ten

789
00:48:14,239 --> 00:48:18,000
Speaker 1: running backs that you just named, will you go ahead,

790
00:48:18,600 --> 00:48:22,200
Speaker 1: name the one, any of them, Just pick one. Give

791
00:48:22,239 --> 00:48:24,600
Speaker 1: me the one who's reading books.

792
00:48:24,239 --> 00:48:25,840
Speaker 2: On the sideline, Oh my god.

793
00:48:26,400 --> 00:48:31,279
Speaker 1: Give me the one causing causing arguments with the quarterback

794
00:48:31,920 --> 00:48:33,000
Speaker 1: on the sideline.

795
00:48:33,520 --> 00:48:38,960
Speaker 2: Give me the one.

796
00:48:38,520 --> 00:48:41,080
Speaker 1: I know we just made the playoffs, but nah, I

797
00:48:41,120 --> 00:48:44,360
Speaker 1: really don't see how much reason for optimism around here.

798
00:48:45,160 --> 00:48:49,279
Speaker 1: Give me the one who walked off the field in

799
00:48:49,719 --> 00:48:53,160
Speaker 1: the middle of a football game. Give me the one

800
00:48:53,200 --> 00:48:58,920
Speaker 1: who announced after losing in the final week of the season,

801
00:48:59,120 --> 00:49:00,840
Speaker 1: I think I'm out of here. I don't want to

802
00:49:00,880 --> 00:49:02,920
Speaker 1: play here anymore. Yes, I know, I'm under contract for

803
00:49:02,960 --> 00:49:08,040
Speaker 1: thirty mail. I'm gone. Who's the running back that acting

804
00:49:08,680 --> 00:49:15,759
Speaker 1: like a moron this year? Like go to top, from

805
00:49:15,800 --> 00:49:18,520
Speaker 1: go to top thirty I can't find one.

806
00:49:18,960 --> 00:49:21,799
Speaker 2: You know why, because those guys are the heart and

807
00:49:21,840 --> 00:49:30,080
Speaker 2: souls of offenses. Offensive linemen love running backs. They love

808
00:49:30,160 --> 00:49:33,160
Speaker 2: them because they're hard nosed, they're gritted. The thing I

809
00:49:33,200 --> 00:49:36,880
Speaker 2: love about running backs and Jamal Anderson we used to

810
00:49:36,960 --> 00:49:39,239
Speaker 2: be in install and they'll be like, Okay, we're gonna

811
00:49:39,239 --> 00:49:42,040
Speaker 2: face a nine man boxes. Hey man, don't worry about

812
00:49:42,040 --> 00:49:48,480
Speaker 2: the safeties. Don't worry about them. I take care of them. Right.

813
00:49:48,560 --> 00:49:51,080
Speaker 2: It was an attitude you had. It's the same type

814
00:49:51,120 --> 00:49:53,560
Speaker 2: of attitude sain Kwon Barkley had. He could add over

815
00:49:53,600 --> 00:49:55,800
Speaker 2: twenty yards rush of the day, he could have broken

816
00:49:56,239 --> 00:49:57,520
Speaker 2: at the end of the game, he could have broke

817
00:49:57,560 --> 00:49:59,319
Speaker 2: a sixty yard touchdown run.

818
00:50:00,080 --> 00:50:01,880
Speaker 1: It might have helped me a little bit about eleven and.

819
00:50:02,520 --> 00:50:06,120
Speaker 2: He gets enough, gets them. He's the same guy who

820
00:50:06,120 --> 00:50:08,800
Speaker 2: didn't go for the rushing record. He's the same guy

821
00:50:09,040 --> 00:50:12,799
Speaker 2: who didn't go for his single game rushing record, right, Like,

822
00:50:12,920 --> 00:50:17,319
Speaker 2: he's that guy. It's all about the team, and you

823
00:50:17,440 --> 00:50:21,080
Speaker 2: flip that coin on the very same team he's on.

824
00:50:21,840 --> 00:50:26,239
Speaker 2: You got a guy and aj Brown, who I am

825
00:50:26,320 --> 00:50:29,120
Speaker 2: disgusted by number one. Late in the season, they win

826
00:50:29,160 --> 00:50:32,600
Speaker 2: a game, they've won nine in a row. He's mad

827
00:50:32,920 --> 00:50:34,400
Speaker 2: because he's not getting targets.

828
00:50:34,880 --> 00:50:37,440
Speaker 1: We're not good at throwing the ball. That's what that was,

829
00:50:37,520 --> 00:50:39,439
Speaker 1: just nine in a row.

830
00:50:41,719 --> 00:50:45,279
Speaker 2: Today, we watched he had one reception. We watched him

831
00:50:45,280 --> 00:50:49,320
Speaker 2: on the sideline in the third quarter of an NFL game,

832
00:50:49,840 --> 00:50:56,440
Speaker 2: sitting on the bench reading a book. Can't make this up,

833
00:50:56,520 --> 00:50:58,360
Speaker 2: couldn't write it. If I wrote it in the script

834
00:50:58,400 --> 00:51:00,960
Speaker 2: that people would would they would kill me on Twitter

835
00:51:03,520 --> 00:51:03,959
Speaker 2: on Twitter.

836
00:51:04,040 --> 00:51:10,839
Speaker 1: That's realistic, Ephraim the first time because I had some

837
00:51:10,880 --> 00:51:15,480
Speaker 1: stuff first three quarters of today's game that needed my

838
00:51:16,280 --> 00:51:18,400
Speaker 1: presence and attention, and so I had to kind of

839
00:51:18,400 --> 00:51:21,720
Speaker 1: review that game after the fact. When I first saw

840
00:51:21,760 --> 00:51:24,640
Speaker 1: that video, because when you see things on social media,

841
00:51:24,719 --> 00:51:26,080
Speaker 1: you're like, is that real?

842
00:51:26,239 --> 00:51:26,439
Speaker 2: Right?

843
00:51:27,080 --> 00:51:29,400
Speaker 1: And I looked at it and I'm like, there's no

844
00:51:29,480 --> 00:51:33,040
Speaker 1: way that's real. There's no way that's real. Until I

845
00:51:33,080 --> 00:51:37,239
Speaker 1: kept scrolling and went, oh my god, that's real. You

846
00:51:37,360 --> 00:51:41,080
Speaker 1: just won a playoff game by double digits and you

847
00:51:41,200 --> 00:51:47,040
Speaker 1: decided to make a spectacle of yourself again. I just

848
00:51:47,160 --> 00:51:50,520
Speaker 1: I can't, I can't. I don't get it. And why

849
00:51:50,600 --> 00:51:52,080
Speaker 1: is it always the wide receiver?

850
00:51:52,360 --> 00:51:54,719
Speaker 2: And I got a little bit of tidbit that I

851
00:51:54,760 --> 00:51:58,799
Speaker 2: saw at the end of that game that even accentuates this.

852
00:51:58,840 --> 00:52:00,520
Speaker 2: A lot of people are gonna miss this, but I

853
00:52:00,560 --> 00:52:04,799
Speaker 2: saw it when Sa Kwon Barkley went down and they

854
00:52:04,880 --> 00:52:07,799
Speaker 2: kneeled on the back on the ball to end the game.

855
00:52:08,000 --> 00:52:08,440
Speaker 1: Yeah.

856
00:52:08,520 --> 00:52:10,799
Speaker 2: Yeah, first person that ran over to him and told

857
00:52:10,840 --> 00:52:12,719
Speaker 2: him he should have scored. You should have went for it,

858
00:52:13,120 --> 00:52:17,960
Speaker 2: AJ Brown. That's the difference that right there is the

859
00:52:18,000 --> 00:52:23,520
Speaker 2: difference between those two players. That spoke volumes to me.

860
00:52:25,000 --> 00:52:29,240
Speaker 2: Spoke volumes. He was he was getting on his case

861
00:52:30,560 --> 00:52:36,480
Speaker 2: because he went down and didn't score, and didn't worry

862
00:52:36,480 --> 00:52:39,960
Speaker 2: about him. All you have to do is get the

863
00:52:39,960 --> 00:52:41,880
Speaker 2: first down. The game's over. You don't have to run

864
00:52:41,920 --> 00:52:46,080
Speaker 2: another play. So that's all he was thinking about. He

865
00:52:46,160 --> 00:52:50,720
Speaker 2: wasn't thinking about, oh I need to get let me score.

866
00:52:50,920 --> 00:52:55,520
Speaker 2: Why that is the difference between AJ Brown and Sa

867
00:52:55,600 --> 00:53:01,760
Speaker 2: Kwon Barkley. If you pay someone what they're paying AJ

868
00:53:01,960 --> 00:53:05,040
Speaker 2: Brown and he can are any of these receivers who

869
00:53:05,120 --> 00:53:16,680
Speaker 2: consistently feel like that the offense should go through them,

870
00:53:17,040 --> 00:53:22,560
Speaker 2: then you're in trouble because that's not a fact. That's

871
00:53:22,600 --> 00:53:26,680
Speaker 2: not a fact. The Philadelphia Eagles are the Philadelphia Eagles

872
00:53:26,680 --> 00:53:33,280
Speaker 2: because of Saquon Barkley. Period. There is no They wouldn't

873
00:53:33,320 --> 00:53:37,919
Speaker 2: be who they are without Saquon Barkley. Now, if AJ

874
00:53:38,040 --> 00:53:42,080
Speaker 2: Brown was hurt, I think the Philadelphia Eagles could still

875
00:53:42,160 --> 00:53:46,120
Speaker 2: be the Philadelphia Eagles without AJ Brown. Now he helps,

876
00:53:46,160 --> 00:53:48,600
Speaker 2: of course, he's had some games where he's put up

877
00:53:48,640 --> 00:53:54,120
Speaker 2: some numbers, but that attitude, Nah, I can't do it. Man.

878
00:53:54,160 --> 00:53:55,760
Speaker 2: This man was reading a book on the sideline.

879
00:53:56,400 --> 00:53:57,120
Speaker 1: Read a book.

880
00:53:57,440 --> 00:53:57,840
Speaker 2: I can't.

881
00:53:58,160 --> 00:54:00,799
Speaker 1: He didn't just read a book. He read a book

882
00:54:00,800 --> 00:54:03,319
Speaker 1: with that look on his face too, with his eyebrows

883
00:54:03,440 --> 00:54:06,560
Speaker 1: up like raw. You know, might as well just read

884
00:54:06,560 --> 00:54:06,960
Speaker 1: a book.

885
00:54:07,040 --> 00:54:12,120
Speaker 2: The funny thing is the Wade Davante Smith was looking

886
00:54:12,160 --> 00:54:14,759
Speaker 2: at him as he was reading that book. Was he

887
00:54:14,920 --> 00:54:16,680
Speaker 2: was like, are you crazy?

888
00:54:17,320 --> 00:54:21,239
Speaker 1: I like Davante? I do I love Davante. Davante is

889
00:54:21,280 --> 00:54:23,560
Speaker 1: the one that when he signed twenty five million year

890
00:54:23,640 --> 00:54:25,680
Speaker 1: and they came to him three months later and went Hey,

891
00:54:25,960 --> 00:54:29,280
Speaker 1: the market went up. Did you bite too soon? Boy?

892
00:54:29,719 --> 00:54:32,399
Speaker 1: You shouldn't have done that. He was like, y'all, I'm

893
00:54:32,400 --> 00:54:35,640
Speaker 1: gonna be okay, y'all gonna be fine. I think I

894
00:54:35,960 --> 00:54:40,880
Speaker 1: think I'm gonna eat next question. I like seeing now,

895
00:54:40,960 --> 00:54:43,960
Speaker 1: Davante is the kind of receiver that I won on

896
00:54:44,000 --> 00:54:44,440
Speaker 1: my team.

897
00:54:44,560 --> 00:54:48,080
Speaker 2: Bro, you can't win games and have somebody tearing up

898
00:54:48,120 --> 00:54:54,720
Speaker 2: the locker room emotional not physically because they didn't get theirs.

899
00:54:56,080 --> 00:54:57,160
Speaker 2: That's crazy to me.

900
00:54:57,880 --> 00:55:03,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, no doubt, no doubt. All right, we

901
00:55:03,760 --> 00:55:06,560
Speaker 1: kind of went micro on the Steelers. Let's go macro

902
00:55:06,960 --> 00:55:08,920
Speaker 1: with that situation, and we'll do it next with he

903
00:55:09,000 --> 00:55:13,840
Speaker 1: from Mark Willard, Fox Sports Radio, Hi Raight dot Com Studios,

904
00:55:13,960 --> 00:55:20,120
Speaker 1: Mark Willardy from salam and Baker Mayfield just made I mean,

905
00:55:20,200 --> 00:55:24,800
Speaker 1: you want to talk about a momentum changing play because

906
00:55:24,960 --> 00:55:27,319
Speaker 1: Washington has been controlling the line of scrimmage in this

907
00:55:27,400 --> 00:55:31,279
Speaker 1: year playoff game. And on third and long, Baker Mayfield

908
00:55:32,000 --> 00:55:34,360
Speaker 1: just scrambled straight up the middle of the field and

909
00:55:34,480 --> 00:55:38,280
Speaker 1: when four defenders met him at the first down marker,

910
00:55:38,920 --> 00:55:42,120
Speaker 1: he didn't go down, he didn't slide, he didn't go

911
00:55:42,239 --> 00:55:47,240
Speaker 1: head first. He went shoulder first, knocked a couple dudes

912
00:55:47,320 --> 00:55:51,680
Speaker 1: down and kept ongoing for about seven more yards, and

913
00:55:51,800 --> 00:55:55,960
Speaker 1: now the Bucks are sitting here looking at a first

914
00:55:56,000 --> 00:56:01,000
Speaker 1: down deep in the red zone for Washington. Baker Mayfield's

915
00:56:01,000 --> 00:56:03,160
Speaker 1: got my attention this year for sure.

916
00:56:03,239 --> 00:56:05,839
Speaker 2: How do you not sign up for that guy?

917
00:56:06,600 --> 00:56:08,520
Speaker 1: Come on, man, And this is what I was getting

918
00:56:08,520 --> 00:56:11,239
Speaker 1: at earlier. I'd love to almost bring this back and

919
00:56:11,320 --> 00:56:14,480
Speaker 1: bring some other names into it. We've got to stop

920
00:56:14,520 --> 00:56:18,960
Speaker 1: asking quarterbacks to be Superman. They don't win the Super

921
00:56:19,000 --> 00:56:23,040
Speaker 1: Bowl by themselves. You just said a minute ago about

922
00:56:23,080 --> 00:56:28,239
Speaker 1: the Eagles. They're not the Eagles without Saquon Barkley. Well,

923
00:56:28,320 --> 00:56:32,320
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna hold it against Jalen Hurts if Barkley

924
00:56:32,400 --> 00:56:35,880
Speaker 1: gets hurt and the Eagles don't look as good and

925
00:56:35,920 --> 00:56:37,839
Speaker 1: all of a sudden we're like, oh, they're supposed to

926
00:56:37,880 --> 00:56:40,560
Speaker 1: elevate your teammates. You're supposed to put everyone on your

927
00:56:40,560 --> 00:56:44,360
Speaker 1: back and be Superman and all this stuff. They can't

928

Speaker 1: all be Lamar, they can't all be Josh Allen. I

929

Speaker 1: give you a list of guys around the league who

930
00:56:51,360 --> 00:56:54,520
Speaker 1: have kind of gotten whacked upside the head here and

00:56:54,560 --> 00:56:59,920
Speaker 1: there this season, who I think are good enough. Jared

Speaker 1: Stroud you're good enough.

934
00:57:10,640 --> 00:57:12,520

940
00:57:31,840 --> 00:57:35,120
Speaker 1: the way, at least to of Justin Herbert's picks went

941
00:57:35,280 --> 00:57:39,200
Speaker 1: right through the hands of his receivers. So I like,

942
00:57:39,360 --> 00:57:44,040
Speaker 1: I don't know, man, these are we he kills me. Man,

943
00:57:44,440 --> 00:57:47,280

944
00:57:47,280 --> 00:57:54,120
Speaker 1: a full twelve months of that quarterback sucks. I'm just like, no,

966
00:59:38,440 --> 00:59:40,520
Speaker 1: Would you stop right there for a second, though, because

967
00:59:40,600 --> 00:59:43,000
Speaker 1: do you realize and I know what you're doing, you're

968
00:59:43,080 --> 00:59:47,120
Speaker 1: rolling right down right. It's in order of passing yards

969
00:59:47,160 --> 00:59:49,760
Speaker 1: this year, right, And I know I know he missed

970
00:59:49,760 --> 00:59:53,400
Speaker 1: some games, but you have not yet mentioned a quarterback

971
00:59:53,600 --> 00:59:58,040
Speaker 1: who is making fifty five million dollars a year. And

972
00:59:58,080 --> 01:00:02,640
Speaker 1: you have named over twenty five quarterbacks and you haven't

973
01:00:02,640 --> 01:00:05,720
Speaker 1: gotten to one of them yet. Actually, I'm sorry you

974
01:00:05,800 --> 01:00:09,120
Speaker 1: haven't gotten to two of them yet. And again part

975
01:00:09,160 --> 01:00:11,800
Speaker 1: of that is because of games played. But you have

976
01:00:11,960 --> 01:00:15,720
Speaker 1: not yet mentioned Trevor Lawrence. What word would you use for.

977
01:00:15,720 --> 01:00:17,800
Speaker 2: Trevor Trevor Lawrence is okay?

978
01:00:18,320 --> 01:00:20,800
Speaker 1: Okay? And what word would you use? By the way,

979
01:00:20,880 --> 01:00:23,640
Speaker 1: touchdown Tampa, they're an extra point away from tying. You go,

980
01:00:23,760 --> 01:00:27,040
Speaker 1: I'm that in a second. But what word would you

981
01:00:27,120 --> 01:00:28,720
Speaker 1: use for for Dak Prescott?

982
01:00:29,800 --> 01:00:34,960
Speaker 2: I would use okay for Dak Prescott, not good, just okay.

983
01:00:36,840 --> 01:00:40,800
Speaker 2: In a normal situation, Listen, listen, this is real. This

984
01:00:40,880 --> 01:00:42,920
Speaker 2: is what you get when you're at the Dallas Cowboys.

985
01:00:43,200 --> 01:00:45,720
Speaker 2: In a normal situation, Dak Prescott will be good on

986
01:00:45,800 --> 01:00:48,640
Speaker 2: any other team, But because he's in Dallas and the

987
01:00:48,720 --> 01:00:57,920
Speaker 2: expectations are always are always unrealistic, and the scrutiny of

988
01:00:58,120 --> 01:01:06,760
Speaker 2: that drops him down to okay. Now, if you look

989
01:01:06,760 --> 01:01:10,959
Speaker 2: at his numbers, he's good. If Dak Prescott is Dak

990
01:01:11,000 --> 01:01:16,240
Speaker 2: Prescott in Tampa, he's good. If he's Dak Prescott in Jacksonville,

991
01:01:16,360 --> 01:01:21,960
Speaker 2: he's good. Yeah, But because he's in Dallas, there's no

992
01:01:22,240 --> 01:01:32,160
Speaker 2: middle ground, right, like and and and that's the problem.

993
01:01:32,480 --> 01:01:36,960
Speaker 2: But you know, you know Gardner minshew, No, yeah, right,

994
01:01:37,080 --> 01:01:39,720
Speaker 2: I mean put it. Put it this way, Anthony Richardson.

995
01:01:40,000 --> 01:01:42,760
Speaker 1: No, And I'm not gonna like pin you down to

996
01:01:42,840 --> 01:01:46,440
Speaker 1: an exact number, but approximately of all those names you

997
01:01:46,600 --> 01:01:51,560
Speaker 1: just rolled through, who's capable at least once one time.

998
01:01:51,600 --> 01:01:55,960
Speaker 1: I'm not talking about dynasty in this crap. Who's capable

999
01:01:56,240 --> 01:01:57,959
Speaker 1: of winning a Super Bowl? How many?

1000
01:01:57,960 --> 01:02:04,480
Speaker 2: I'm gonna tell you right now. I'm tell you right now. One, three,

1001
01:02:04,800 --> 01:02:11,840
Speaker 2: four mm hmmm, five, six, seven.

1002
01:02:16,400 --> 01:02:16,800
Speaker 3: Mm hmm.

1003
01:02:19,880 --> 01:02:21,040
Speaker 1: You're not stopping there?

1004
01:02:21,040 --> 01:02:28,480
Speaker 2: Hold one man, hold on, give me a okay, okay, okay, eight,

1005
01:02:32,160 --> 01:02:32,760
Speaker 2: I got eight.

1006
01:02:33,960 --> 01:02:37,800
Speaker 1: Okay, don't don't, don't mention it. Don't mention it.

1007
01:02:37,920 --> 01:02:41,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, one more. One more on that list, one more one?

1008
01:02:41,760 --> 01:02:43,479
Speaker 2: You got way one more on that list?

1009
01:02:43,880 --> 01:02:47,520
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, for sure.

1010
01:02:49,920 --> 01:02:50,320
Speaker 2: I'm sorry.

1011
01:02:50,320 --> 01:02:53,240
Speaker 5: It's busy reading a book. I wasn't come to me once.

1012
01:02:55,080 --> 01:02:55,880
Speaker 1: It's amazing.

1013
01:02:56,040 --> 01:02:56,800
Speaker 2: I tell you what.

1014
01:03:00,200 --> 01:03:03,240
Speaker 5: Died With the first half touchdown, they're at the break,

1015
01:03:03,320 --> 01:03:06,400
Speaker 5: Tampa Tide ten ten against the Washington Commanders. By the way,

1016
01:03:06,440 --> 01:03:10,920
Speaker 5: Philadelphia wide receiver AJ Brown, as you might guess, was asked,

1017
01:03:10,960 --> 01:03:13,360
Speaker 5: why were you reading a book on the bench during

1018
01:03:13,400 --> 01:03:17,720
Speaker 5: Philadelphia's playoff game today, he says that particular book gives

1019
01:03:17,760 --> 01:03:18,920
Speaker 5: me a sense of piece.

1020
01:03:19,280 --> 01:03:21,000
Speaker 2: That's a book that I bring every single game.

1021
01:03:21,600 --> 01:03:23,760
Speaker 5: Every single game, he says, he brings.

1022
01:03:23,520 --> 01:03:26,360
Speaker 1: That book, but we've never noticed it before.

1023
01:03:26,480 --> 01:03:29,280
Speaker 5: No, just the game where he had one catch, got

1024
01:03:29,320 --> 01:03:29,760
Speaker 5: it yip.

1025
01:03:29,800 --> 01:03:32,680
Speaker 2: But why, though, does somebody say, why do you bring

1026
01:03:32,720 --> 01:03:33,960
Speaker 2: a book to a football game?

1027
01:03:35,160 --> 01:03:39,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, you can't have ten perceptions unless you well, you had.

1028
01:03:39,200 --> 01:03:40,040
Speaker 2: One with the book.

1029
01:03:40,080 --> 01:03:42,520
Speaker 5: So, come to think of it, I'm not sure that's

1030
01:03:42,560 --> 01:03:44,919
Speaker 5: the good luck charm that you're really looking for here.

1031
01:03:45,400 --> 01:03:48,560
Speaker 5: The Eagles, on the other hand, they are fifteen and three,

1032
01:03:48,800 --> 01:03:51,000
Speaker 5: they're nine and one at home, and as a two seed,

1033
01:03:51,000 --> 01:03:54,840
Speaker 5: they're getting another home game next weekend. Philadelphia eliminated Green

1034
01:03:54,880 --> 01:03:58,280
Speaker 5: Bay twenty two to ten. Saquon Barkley one hundred and

1035
01:03:58,320 --> 01:04:02,520
Speaker 5: nineteen yards rushing, short field goals for Philly. Jalen Hurts

1036
01:04:02,560 --> 01:04:07,400
Speaker 5: two touchdown passes. Buffalo eliminated Denver thirty one seven. Broncos

1037
01:04:07,440 --> 01:04:10,320
Speaker 5: had a long touchdown pass in the opening minutes, never

1038
01:04:10,320 --> 01:04:12,840
Speaker 5: scored again. They were down ten to seven at the

1039
01:04:12,880 --> 01:04:15,560
Speaker 5: half thirty one seven the final. The Bills are still

1040
01:04:15,640 --> 01:04:19,240
Speaker 5: undefeated at home, nine to zero, fourteen and four overall.

1041
01:04:19,720 --> 01:04:22,680
Speaker 5: Denver finished four and six on the road ten and

1042
01:04:22,800 --> 01:04:25,480
Speaker 5: eight overall. They were the last team to get into

1043
01:04:25,520 --> 01:04:28,720
Speaker 5: the playoffs in the AFC. The update on Tampa Bay

1044
01:04:28,760 --> 01:04:30,800
Speaker 5: tying the game ten ten at half at home at

1045
01:04:30,840 --> 01:04:34,560
Speaker 5: gats Washington. Mike Evans late first half drew a pass

1046
01:04:34,600 --> 01:04:37,000
Speaker 5: interference in the end zone. Next play he gets a

1047
01:04:37,040 --> 01:04:40,400
Speaker 5: one yard TD reception. So Evans was targeted five times

1048
01:04:40,400 --> 01:04:43,800
Speaker 5: first half, had five catches sixty six yards and the

1049
01:04:43,840 --> 01:04:47,600
Speaker 5: touchdown from Baker Mayfield. There was a fifty two yard

1050
01:04:47,600 --> 01:04:50,480
Speaker 5: field goal from the Washington side early. There was a

1051
01:04:50,520 --> 01:04:53,280
Speaker 5: fifty yard field goal made on the Tampa Bay side

1052
01:04:53,560 --> 01:04:56,440
Speaker 5: in between Jade and Daniels with a ten yard touchdown

1053
01:04:56,480 --> 01:05:00,440
Speaker 5: pass early second quarter that finished a seventeen played for

1054
01:05:00,640 --> 01:05:04,680
Speaker 5: Washington ninety two yards. That was a nine minute plus drive.

1055
01:05:05,080 --> 01:05:07,520
Speaker 5: The game is tied ten to ten at the half.

1056
01:05:07,840 --> 01:05:10,400
Speaker 5: In the NBA, it's the Jazz ahead of the net

1057
01:05:10,520 --> 01:05:14,440
Speaker 5: sixty two to sixty mid third quarter. Among the earlier games,

1058
01:05:14,560 --> 01:05:18,840
Speaker 5: Nuggets won at Dallas. Nicks won forty to one oh

1059
01:05:19,000 --> 01:05:23,760
Speaker 5: six over Milwaukee. Jalen Brunson with forty four points, I

1060
01:05:23,760 --> 01:05:26,640
Speaker 5: should say, and the Lakers you may have heard, had

1061
01:05:26,640 --> 01:05:29,800
Speaker 5: a home game again postponed last night. The Clippers home

1062
01:05:29,840 --> 01:05:32,120
Speaker 5: game last night was postponed as well due to the

1063
01:05:32,280 --> 01:05:35,919
Speaker 5: La fires. Now the Lakers will have a home game

1064
01:05:36,000 --> 01:05:39,000
Speaker 5: tomorrow night against the Spurs, and the Clippers will play

1065
01:05:39,000 --> 01:05:42,960
Speaker 5: at home tomorrow against Miami. Yes, they are in separate arenas. Now,

1066
01:05:43,000 --> 01:05:44,800
Speaker 5: in case you were to wear the Clippers built their

1067
01:05:44,840 --> 01:05:47,080
Speaker 5: own place across the street from the Rams Stadium.

1068
01:05:47,160 --> 01:05:49,360
Speaker 2: No one goes not true.

1069
01:05:49,400 --> 01:05:51,120
Speaker 5: I hear, I hear. It's a great place.

1070
01:05:51,080 --> 01:05:51,880
Speaker 2: Here, It's a great place.

1071
01:05:52,640 --> 01:05:56,440
Speaker 5: The NBA previously had postponed the Lakers home game on Thursday,

1072
01:05:56,520 --> 01:06:00,240
Speaker 5: Lakers fan co hosting following the Monday home game for

1073
01:06:00,280 --> 01:06:03,040
Speaker 5: those two. The Lakers will be home to the Heat

1074
01:06:03,080 --> 01:06:06,080
Speaker 5: on Wednesday and the Clippers will be home to Brooklyn.

1075
01:06:06,160 --> 01:06:09,280
Speaker 1: So updating, they're back to you, Steve. You got to

1076
01:06:09,320 --> 01:06:12,040
Speaker 1: tell the man that if you really, if you really

1077
01:06:12,120 --> 01:06:14,640
Speaker 1: really want to be a Laker fan and do that right,

1078
01:06:15,520 --> 01:06:19,200
Speaker 1: don't get triggered by the Clippers. You have to just

1079
01:06:19,320 --> 01:06:20,720
Speaker 1: act like they're not even there.

1080
01:06:20,760 --> 01:06:22,680
Speaker 2: They're not there, and when have they been?

1081
01:06:22,720 --> 01:06:26,040
Speaker 1: But but you saying that means that you're like, oh,

1082
01:06:28,080 --> 01:06:30,880
Speaker 1: hal on the back of the neck is to dance around.

1083
01:06:31,920 --> 01:06:35,720
Speaker 2: Do the Magata bring a chip home to LA, then

1084
01:06:35,760 --> 01:06:37,960
Speaker 2: we have something to talk about. Haven't been in the

1085
01:06:38,000 --> 01:06:41,840
Speaker 2: finals yet. Other than that, it is what it is.

1086
01:06:41,880 --> 01:06:44,120
Speaker 2: It's your ten year old brother who's annoying the head

1087
01:06:44,160 --> 01:06:45,720
Speaker 2: guy of you, and you're in high school.

1088
01:06:46,360 --> 01:06:49,200
Speaker 5: Lakers and Clippers right now battling for that sixth seed

1089
01:06:49,200 --> 01:06:50,160
Speaker 5: to avoid the play in.

1090
01:06:51,560 --> 01:06:52,000
Speaker 2: We're good.

1091
01:06:52,120 --> 01:06:54,240
Speaker 5: Yes, there are standings in the NBA that we can

1092
01:06:54,280 --> 01:06:57,040
Speaker 5: actually mention on January twelfth for cred out loud.

1093
01:06:57,600 --> 01:07:04,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, the NBA is in a crisis of the

1094
01:07:04,200 --> 01:07:07,680
Speaker 1: major market by the way, free fall, I mean, well, like, yeah,

1095
01:07:07,720 --> 01:07:10,880
Speaker 1: the two LA teams are battling for the sixth seed.

1096
01:07:11,560 --> 01:07:16,480
Speaker 1: Golden State's battling to even be in this thing. Meanwhile,

1097
01:07:16,880 --> 01:07:22,440
Speaker 1: Oklahoma City, Houston, Memphis, and Denver, Cleveland. I mean, there's Boston,

1098
01:07:23,200 --> 01:07:30,560
Speaker 1: what's Philadelphia? Philadelphia is the eleven seed. Yeah, man, some

1099
01:07:30,600 --> 01:07:34,200
Speaker 1: of these brands need a little bit of a branding

1100
01:07:34,240 --> 01:07:35,120
Speaker 1: problem right now.

1101
01:07:35,680 --> 01:07:38,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, what we're seeing is the teams that draft well

1102
01:07:39,160 --> 01:07:44,080
Speaker 2: are now aging well. How about that? Look at Houston, right,

1103
01:07:44,120 --> 01:07:48,200
Speaker 2: Look Cleveland, Cleveland, the teams that draft well are aging well.

1104
01:07:48,760 --> 01:07:51,760
Speaker 1: Cleveland is nice? Man? Did you watch that Cavs Thunder

1105
01:07:51,800 --> 01:07:56,080
Speaker 1: game this week. Yeah, oh that. I was like, oh,

1106
01:07:56,200 --> 01:08:01,680
Speaker 1: there's basketball. I remember you. I mean they used the

1107
01:08:01,760 --> 01:08:05,880
Speaker 1: paint and everything they did the whole thing. They played basketball.

1108
01:08:05,960 --> 01:08:09,000
Speaker 1: It was crazy. The big guys scored, the small guys scored,

1109
01:08:10,000 --> 01:08:13,959
Speaker 1: teams played, stars, didn't play well, yet the team picked

1110
01:08:14,040 --> 01:08:19,040
Speaker 1: him up. I was like, I remember you. It's beautiful, man.

1111
01:08:20,200 --> 01:08:22,280
Speaker 2: Basketball is a beautiful thing if it's done right.

1112
01:08:23,400 --> 01:08:26,400
Speaker 1: I mean, I have no reason to think right now

1113
01:08:26,400 --> 01:08:29,400
Speaker 1: that that won't be the NBA Finals.

1114
01:08:30,760 --> 01:08:31,479
Speaker 2: Oh, I hope not.

1115
01:08:32,640 --> 01:08:36,599
Speaker 1: I know you don't. But these teams are both five

1116
01:08:36,720 --> 01:08:40,439
Speaker 1: six games clear of the two seed right now. They

1117
01:08:40,520 --> 01:08:43,000
Speaker 1: are going to be the one seeds, and they are

1118
01:08:43,320 --> 01:08:46,720
Speaker 1: very deep, and they are very good, and I just

1119
01:08:46,800 --> 01:08:50,200
Speaker 1: don't see someone beating them on their home floor. I

1120
01:08:50,240 --> 01:08:52,799
Speaker 1: know we got a long way to go, but those

1121
01:08:52,920 --> 01:08:59,240
Speaker 1: are the two squads. Yeah, sorry, sorry, Boston. I know

1122
01:08:59,640 --> 01:09:05,639
Speaker 1: I know you're good, You're very very good. But yaikes, dude,

1123
01:09:05,720 --> 01:09:12,000
Speaker 1: Cleveland is a squab. That youth, boy, exactly, that youth

1124
01:09:12,439 --> 01:09:16,280
Speaker 1: all right, back to the support. Everybody cares about it, Yeah, exactly. Okay,

1125
01:09:16,400 --> 01:09:18,559
Speaker 1: we haven't even talked. Dude. Do you think that the

1126
01:09:18,560 --> 01:09:21,000
Speaker 1: Steelers are supposed to move on from Mike Tomlin. Is

1127
01:09:21,040 --> 01:09:21,679
Speaker 1: that where you're at?

1128
01:09:21,760 --> 01:09:21,840
Speaker 5: No?

1129
01:09:21,960 --> 01:09:22,919
Speaker 2: What are you crazy?

1130
01:09:23,520 --> 01:09:24,040
Speaker 1: Thank you?

1131
01:09:24,800 --> 01:09:28,320
Speaker 2: Whoever thinking that they got They tripped everybody.

1132
01:09:28,800 --> 01:09:31,519
Speaker 1: It's everywhere. And I don't just mean Twitter.

1133
01:09:31,680 --> 01:09:36,599
Speaker 2: You want to talk about the fastest higher in NFL history.

1134
01:09:37,120 --> 01:09:37,759
Speaker 1: They're right.

1135
01:09:39,360 --> 01:09:43,200
Speaker 2: The day at the press conference when they announced that

1136
01:09:43,280 --> 01:09:47,679
Speaker 2: he's they're moving, They're walking away from Mike Tomlin. He's

1137
01:09:47,720 --> 01:09:50,000
Speaker 2: going to step down and then step back up on

1138
01:09:50,040 --> 01:09:51,360
Speaker 2: the stage to announce.

1139
01:09:51,000 --> 01:09:55,360
Speaker 1: His new it's owners of other teams waiting outside.

1140
01:09:55,000 --> 01:09:59,920
Speaker 2: The pay They have set their own press conference up outside.

1141
01:10:00,400 --> 01:10:03,519
Speaker 1: Here's what I'd say. And Mark Withaerty from salam tyrock

1142
01:10:03,560 --> 01:10:06,120
Speaker 1: dot com Studios, Here's what I would say. But I

1143
01:10:06,160 --> 01:10:08,160
Speaker 1: believe that Mike Tomlin can do this. I'm with you.

1144
01:10:08,200 --> 01:10:10,040
Speaker 1: He's a good coach. And I don't know why we

1145
01:10:10,040 --> 01:10:13,680
Speaker 1: we just get so tired of everybody. Now, like you

1146
01:10:13,760 --> 01:10:16,160
Speaker 1: have one off season and it's like, oh, we gotta

1147
01:10:16,439 --> 01:10:19,000
Speaker 1: get him out of here. It's like, what are you doing? Like?

1148
01:10:19,320 --> 01:10:21,880
Speaker 2: First of all, the expectations for the Steelers in that

1149
01:10:22,000 --> 01:10:26,800
Speaker 2: division was zero zero, correct, it was zero with no

1150
01:10:26,960 --> 01:10:29,559
Speaker 2: they were with no quarterback. Now they were.

1151
01:10:29,439 --> 01:10:31,280
Speaker 1: Supposed to be right. They were supposed to be third,

1152
01:10:31,360 --> 01:10:33,160
Speaker 1: and they almost came and said in first.

1153
01:10:33,280 --> 01:10:36,200
Speaker 2: Well they were first for the great majority.

1154
01:10:35,720 --> 01:10:37,880
Speaker 1: Of the year. Yeah, and I know they haven't won

1155
01:10:37,920 --> 01:10:39,759
Speaker 1: a football game in a month and all that good stuff.

1156
01:10:39,800 --> 01:10:43,479
Speaker 1: But but but here's what I would say. I do

1157
01:10:43,640 --> 01:10:51,160
Speaker 1: wonder about the mentality of the organization this whole like,

1158
01:10:52,080 --> 01:10:56,559
Speaker 1: and I know it matches Pittsburgh perfectly, but this three

1159
01:10:56,680 --> 01:10:59,960
Speaker 1: yards and a cloud of dust, and we'd Pittsburgh and

1160
01:11:00,120 --> 01:11:02,840
Speaker 1: won't mean and we're tough and we're physical and I'm

1161
01:11:02,840 --> 01:11:05,800
Speaker 1: not trying to take your physicality away from you, but

1162
01:11:07,920 --> 01:11:09,560
Speaker 1: you need to be more dynamic.

1163
01:11:09,800 --> 01:11:12,479
Speaker 2: You You know what I saw in that game at

1164
01:11:12,479 --> 01:11:17,720
Speaker 2: Pittsburgh Baltimore game. If they would have come out and

1165
01:11:17,840 --> 01:11:22,320
Speaker 2: allowed Russ and call plays to throw the ball down

1166
01:11:22,360 --> 01:11:24,920
Speaker 2: the field from the beginning, and then they able to said, well,

1167
01:11:25,040 --> 01:11:28,840
Speaker 2: whatever happens happens, that would have that would have gave

1168
01:11:28,920 --> 01:11:31,080
Speaker 2: them an opportunity shot.

1169
01:11:31,320 --> 01:11:34,360
Speaker 1: Yes, a shot, yes, period a shot.

1170
01:11:35,200 --> 01:11:38,720
Speaker 2: But that what they were doing. No, no, no, no, no,

1171
01:11:38,760 --> 01:11:41,160
Speaker 2: that's not it. You gotta spread the you gotta spread

1172
01:11:41,200 --> 01:11:43,240
Speaker 2: the field, you gotta open it up, you gotta throw

1173
01:11:43,240 --> 01:11:45,439
Speaker 2: the ball down the field immediately I'm.

1174
01:11:45,280 --> 01:11:47,439
Speaker 1: Telling you, man, I think there's like we could have

1175
01:11:47,479 --> 01:11:50,720
Speaker 1: this conversation about the Niners too. There's something to be

1176
01:11:50,760 --> 01:11:53,959
Speaker 1: said in this NFL that if you can't come from behind,

1177
01:11:55,720 --> 01:11:59,600
Speaker 1: I don't know, man, I like, you have to be

1178
01:11:59,720 --> 01:12:02,840
Speaker 1: down ten points and still be able to play your game.

1179
01:12:04,040 --> 01:12:06,400
Speaker 1: And and and there's there's a few teams that have

1180
01:12:06,479 --> 01:12:09,479
Speaker 1: been very successful and they're very well coached. But I

1181
01:12:09,479 --> 01:12:14,640
Speaker 1: think just a little, a little reinvention might might be

1182
01:12:14,680 --> 01:12:18,840
Speaker 1: in the cards. But I'm not calling for firing good coaches.

1183
01:12:19,680 --> 01:12:27,439
Speaker 2: Not at all. No. I I think I think they

1184
01:12:27,439 --> 01:12:30,760
Speaker 2: got a little complacent. I think they were trying to

1185
01:12:30,800 --> 01:12:37,920
Speaker 2: figure out I'm almost positive they wanted to come out

1186
01:12:37,960 --> 01:12:41,960
Speaker 2: in that second half with with with Justin Fields, and

1187
01:12:42,400 --> 01:12:45,080
Speaker 2: I'm sure it was and they may not have told

1188
01:12:45,160 --> 01:12:48,639
Speaker 2: us this, but I'm sure the sentiment was, we'll give

1189
01:12:48,680 --> 01:12:55,519
Speaker 2: them a series and then you're you're in. But then

1190
01:12:55,560 --> 01:12:59,720
Speaker 2: they went down and scored right right, So then it

1191
01:12:59,800 --> 01:13:03,360
Speaker 2: was because remember there was a little just the Fields

1192
01:13:03,360 --> 01:13:06,200
Speaker 2: that came out on the field and then right play

1193
01:13:06,280 --> 01:13:08,160
Speaker 2: his stopped because of a drone and came back and

1194
01:13:08,200 --> 01:13:12,439
Speaker 2: he wasn't there anymore like it was. I'm sure there

1195
01:13:12,520 --> 01:13:17,360
Speaker 2: was that type of energy going going around. So you know,

1196
01:13:17,600 --> 01:13:20,400
Speaker 2: but they came out the second half and open up

1197
01:13:20,479 --> 01:13:24,000
Speaker 2: open let him throw, just throw the ball, Let him

1198
01:13:24,040 --> 01:13:26,000
Speaker 2: throw the ball. Let Russ Cook.

1199
01:13:28,680 --> 01:13:30,600
Speaker 1: Well, I would love to ask you what what what

1200
01:13:30,760 --> 01:13:33,400
Speaker 1: should they do at quarterback next year? Let's get into

1201
01:13:33,439 --> 01:13:37,160
Speaker 1: that coming up next on Fox Sports Radio. All Right,

1202
01:13:37,160 --> 01:13:39,920
Speaker 1: our second half is underway, and so are we here

1203
01:13:40,000 --> 01:13:44,000
Speaker 1: in the ty rack dot Com studios. That'sy from Salam

1204
01:13:44,120 --> 01:13:48,800
Speaker 1: I'm Mark Willard, and Washington is on the move again

1205
01:13:48,880 --> 01:13:51,840
Speaker 1: opening drive second half and they've moved well in to

1206
01:13:52,160 --> 01:13:55,000
Speaker 1: Tampa territory. We didn't get to talk out very much

1207
01:13:55,080 --> 01:13:58,280
Speaker 1: the fact that the Bucks went right down the field

1208
01:13:58,800 --> 01:14:03,040
Speaker 1: just before halftime and it up. So what's your what's

1209
01:14:03,040 --> 01:14:05,200
Speaker 1: your takeaway right now as we go to the second half.

1210
01:14:06,360 --> 01:14:08,559
Speaker 2: Look, this is a this is the type of playoff

1211
01:14:08,600 --> 01:14:11,800
Speaker 2: game we want, right no matter who you're rooting for,

1212
01:14:11,960 --> 01:14:15,839
Speaker 2: you want this type of level. These are two playoff teams,

1213
01:14:16,360 --> 01:14:21,880
Speaker 2: fighting double digit win teams, fighting for a chance to

1214
01:14:22,560 --> 01:14:26,479
Speaker 2: fight again next week. And I love it.

1215
01:14:27,080 --> 01:14:28,800
Speaker 1: First and goal Washington by the way, Oh yes.

1216
01:14:29,600 --> 01:14:34,639
Speaker 2: They you know they're coming out. They've had no problem

1217
01:14:34,680 --> 01:14:38,000
Speaker 2: moving the ball, They've had no problem moving the ball,

1218
01:14:38,040 --> 01:14:40,960
Speaker 2: and I like that. I love that this game hasn't

1219
01:14:41,000 --> 01:14:43,840
Speaker 2: gotten too big so far for Jaydon Daniels. And and

1220
01:14:44,240 --> 01:14:48,560
Speaker 2: look that miraculous run at the end of the second

1221
01:14:49,200 --> 01:14:53,080
Speaker 2: quarter for Baker Mayfield. He is going to put the

1222
01:14:53,120 --> 01:14:54,120
Speaker 2: team on his shoulders.

1223
01:14:54,280 --> 01:14:54,519
Speaker 1: Now.

1224
01:14:54,640 --> 01:14:56,400
Speaker 2: The thing that I talked about at the beginning of

1225
01:14:56,439 --> 01:15:02,360
Speaker 2: this program is normal when he does that, he pushes

1226
01:15:02,400 --> 01:15:05,320
Speaker 2: a little bit, and that could put the ball in

1227
01:15:05,400 --> 01:15:08,840
Speaker 2: horms away. As long as he can keep it contained

1228
01:15:09,000 --> 01:15:12,080
Speaker 2: and keep that same level of energy and ferocity, I

1229
01:15:12,080 --> 01:15:14,439
Speaker 2: think we're in for a heck of a game.

1230
01:15:15,720 --> 01:15:18,479
Speaker 1: Now. I want to get into the Pittsburgh situation. But

1231
01:15:19,040 --> 01:15:21,880
Speaker 1: with h with all of the hanging out that we

1232
01:15:21,920 --> 01:15:25,240
Speaker 1: did with Steve de Seger here earlier this hour, I

1233
01:15:25,320 --> 01:15:28,799
Speaker 1: never got your list. I want I want your list.

1234
01:15:29,680 --> 01:15:35,120
Speaker 1: You said you had nine, eight, eight or nine. Oh,

1235
01:15:35,240 --> 01:15:39,240
Speaker 1: that's like Steve was nine. Okay, so you've got eight

1236
01:15:39,360 --> 01:15:42,960
Speaker 1: quarterbacks super Bowl. Who you currently think in the NFL

1237
01:15:43,000 --> 01:15:46,479
Speaker 1: are capable of winning the Super Bowl? Fire away?

1238

Speaker 2: Brother, Joe Burrow, Sure, Jared Goff Okay, Lamar Jackson Okay.

Speaker 2: Six, Matthew Stafford seven.

1242
01:16:10,120 --> 01:16:15,040
Speaker 1: Sure, gosh, okay, eight and you stopped there.

1243
01:16:15,200 --> 01:16:21,880
Speaker 2: And a possible I'm for sure those eight can and

1244
01:16:21,960 --> 01:16:28,599
Speaker 2: maybe a possible maybe a possible nine, But those eight

1245
01:16:28,840 --> 01:16:31,040
Speaker 2: I would feel confident that they could do it.

1246
01:16:31,720 --> 01:16:34,519
Speaker 1: Who's your maybe that you're thinking about right.

1247
01:16:34,439 --> 01:16:38,799
Speaker 2: Now, maybe would be it's is it?

1248
01:16:38,840 --> 01:16:42,240
Speaker 1: Is it a person? Or you're like, you mean this sort.

1249
01:16:42,000 --> 01:16:44,479
Speaker 2: Of in a more No, it's c J.

1250
01:16:44,560 --> 01:16:50,000
Speaker 1: Stroud, c J Strout. Okay. So, like, first of all,

1251
01:16:50,080 --> 01:16:53,400
Speaker 1: I'm gonna co sign with your field goal for Washington

1252
01:16:53,439 --> 01:16:55,680
Speaker 1: by the way, thirteen ten, I'm gonna co sign with

1253
01:16:55,720 --> 01:17:00,599
Speaker 1: your list with the request that we have the Justin

1254
01:17:00,640 --> 01:17:03,600
Speaker 1: Herbert conversation at the top of the hour based on

1255
01:17:03,640 --> 01:17:10,759
Speaker 1: what happened yesterday. But then, like I would bet people

1256
01:17:10,800 --> 01:17:14,880
Speaker 1: listening to that list, the immediate questions that would come

1257
01:17:14,960 --> 01:17:22,000
Speaker 1: up are, where's Jalen Hurts because he already ome, I mean,

1258
01:17:22,040 --> 01:17:24,800
Speaker 1: he already damned damn. I mean's guy scored thirty five

1259
01:17:24,800 --> 01:17:30,800
Speaker 1: points in a Super Bowl already? Where's Jordan Love? And

1260
01:17:30,880 --> 01:17:33,439
Speaker 1: again these are just I want to ask you your thoughts.

1261
01:17:33,479 --> 01:17:37,040
Speaker 1: I'm not saying I agree or disagree, and then how

1262
01:17:37,120 --> 01:17:39,519
Speaker 1: long until Jayden Daniels makes your list?

1263
01:17:40,320 --> 01:17:44,479
Speaker 2: Well, we go see at the end it is the

1264
01:17:44,560 --> 01:17:47,240
Speaker 2: list might update here in an hour. It is a

1265
01:17:47,280 --> 01:17:51,439
Speaker 2: fluid list, I can tell you that. And the reason

1266
01:17:51,560 --> 01:17:54,240
Speaker 2: for those who would say Jalen hurts is I'm not

1267
01:17:54,360 --> 01:17:59,639
Speaker 2: quite sure own Jalen hurts. Like I said, the reason

1268
01:17:59,680 --> 01:18:01,920
Speaker 2: they are who they are and where they are is

1269
01:18:01,920 --> 01:18:06,679
Speaker 2: because of Sakuon Barkley. Now, Jalen hurts when it's all

1270
01:18:06,720 --> 01:18:09,920
Speaker 2: put on his shoulders and he's had he has some games.

1271
01:18:09,920 --> 01:18:11,840
Speaker 2: There are some games that are phenomenal. There are some

1272
01:18:11,920 --> 01:18:15,519
Speaker 2: games that are are great, but then there's some some

1273
01:18:15,560 --> 01:18:17,760
Speaker 2: games where you look at me like I don't know,

1274
01:18:18,800 --> 01:18:21,120
Speaker 2: you know, and and and look out of everybody. He's

1275
01:18:21,160 --> 01:18:26,800
Speaker 2: got two dynamic weapons period plus three with Goddard. Right,

1276
01:18:29,120 --> 01:18:33,160
Speaker 2: I'm just talking about it strictly passing in the passing game.

1277
01:18:34,120 --> 01:18:39,759
Speaker 2: So it it should feel different, it should feel different

1278
01:18:39,800 --> 01:18:42,280
Speaker 2: with Jalen Hurts. It should be like man he is,

1279
01:18:43,439 --> 01:18:47,479
Speaker 2: it's all he's on fire, right given what you know,

1280
01:18:47,600 --> 01:18:52,280
Speaker 2: what he has to to deal with. And so that's

1281
01:18:52,360 --> 01:18:57,519
Speaker 2: why I don't necessarily think, even though he's been there

1282
01:18:59,400 --> 01:19:01,840
Speaker 2: that in my opinion he can win a Super Bowl

1283
01:19:01,920 --> 01:19:04,479
Speaker 2: right now. Now, Like I said, it could be fluid.

1284
01:19:04,640 --> 01:19:08,640
Speaker 2: He could prove me completely wrong. He could prove me

1285
01:19:08,680 --> 01:19:11,800
Speaker 2: completely wrong. He's gonna have an opportunity to sure. Sure,

1286
01:19:13,800 --> 01:19:19,120
Speaker 2: But why know Jordan Love? You know what, Jordan Love

1287
01:19:21,400 --> 01:19:26,240
Speaker 2: outside of the second half of last season into the

1288
01:19:26,240 --> 01:19:31,519
Speaker 2: playoffs and this year, there is talent there, Jordan Love

1289
01:19:31,600 --> 01:19:35,000
Speaker 2: is good. But the decision making we saw it today,

1290
01:19:36,280 --> 01:19:39,599
Speaker 2: to me, there's growth. This still needs to happen there.

1291
01:19:40,880 --> 01:19:46,240
Speaker 2: And so the bigger the game, I think, the smaller

1292
01:19:46,280 --> 01:19:47,040
Speaker 2: his chances are.

1293
01:19:47,479 --> 01:19:50,599
Speaker 1: Okay, I love this conversation. Let's keep it going. Let's

1294
01:19:50,600 --> 01:19:53,479
Speaker 1: weave Justin Herbert into it as well. We do that

1295
01:19:53,560 --> 01:19:59,479
Speaker 1: next on Fox Sports Radio. Man, this is the second half.

1296
01:19:59,520 --> 01:20:01,599
Speaker 1: We've been with eight and four. This is it? Okay,

1297
01:20:02,000 --> 01:20:05,120
Speaker 1: five and a half to go, third quarter, washing it

1298
01:20:05,240 --> 01:20:08,360
Speaker 1: up by three. Bucks are knocking on the door. We

1299
01:20:08,520 --> 01:20:12,520
Speaker 1: finally have a close football game here in these playoffs,

1300
01:20:12,600 --> 01:20:16,160
Speaker 1: because it has been nothing but double digit games so far,

1301
01:20:16,360 --> 01:20:19,759
Speaker 1: but this one has that. Look, let's watch it together.

01:20:38,600 --> 01:20:39,840
Speaker 2: No, I have questions.

1308
01:20:40,120 --> 01:20:43,599
Speaker 1: Okay, great. So I have a one of the fantasy

1309
01:20:43,680 --> 01:20:47,240
Speaker 1: leagues in which I play has this rule that anybody

1310
01:20:47,280 --> 01:20:52,439
Speaker 1: you draft sixth round or later, you can pick one

1311
01:20:52,479 --> 01:20:56,880
Speaker 1: of them to keep them the following year. And I

1312
01:20:56,920 --> 01:21:01,439
Speaker 1: think I've got Brian Thomas in the ninth and Bucky

1313
01:21:01,479 --> 01:21:06,280
Speaker 1: Irving in the thirteenth. My man, what would you what

1314
01:21:06,320 --> 01:21:09,439
Speaker 1: would you do? What would you do?

1315
01:21:09,640 --> 01:21:10,360
Speaker 2: Bucky Irving?

1316
01:21:10,960 --> 01:21:14,120
Speaker 1: You would Yeah, that's because you love running backs and him.

1317
01:21:14,200 --> 01:21:16,120
Speaker 2: I don't know, because you don't know what the state,

1318
01:21:16,240 --> 01:21:17,880
Speaker 2: You don't know what the state of the passing game

1319
01:21:17,920 --> 01:21:19,280
Speaker 2: is going to be in Jacksonville next year.

1320
01:21:19,320 --> 01:21:22,360
Speaker 1: That's fair, that's fair. But I mean he went crazy

1321
01:21:22,400 --> 01:21:25,720
Speaker 1: this year with awfulness unfolding at the quarterback with.

1322
01:21:26,080 --> 01:21:29,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, but there's gonna be a lot of turnover. Things

1323
01:21:29,400 --> 01:21:32,479
Speaker 2: aren't going to be the same in Jacksonville that they

1324
01:21:32,479 --> 01:21:36,479
Speaker 2: were this year. But you know they're gonna handing the

1325
01:21:36,479 --> 01:21:38,799
Speaker 2: ball off to Bucky Bucky Irving.

1326
01:21:39,080 --> 01:21:40,800
Speaker 1: The reason I bring it up, by the way. This

1327
01:21:40,840 --> 01:21:44,280
Speaker 1: is his drive, This is this has been he looks.

1328
01:21:44,920 --> 01:21:48,320
Speaker 1: I mean, he is so good in between the tackles,

1329
01:21:48,760 --> 01:21:53,519
Speaker 1: outside the tackles in the passing game. Yeah he is.

1330
01:21:53,760 --> 01:21:55,519
Speaker 2: Uh, ask me that again.

1331
01:21:55,960 --> 01:22:02,440
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, Brian Thomas or never mind, never mind, what's.

1332
01:22:02,240 --> 01:22:05,200
Speaker 2: That one's playing today and one's than can kon?

1333
01:22:05,680 --> 01:22:10,640
Speaker 1: That's fair enough, although Ken Coon sounds nice. But anyway,

1334
01:22:11,320 --> 01:22:13,439
Speaker 1: the Bucks are up by three with an extra point

1335
01:22:13,439 --> 01:22:17,679
Speaker 1: on the way, and we've got ourselves a foot ball game.

1336
01:22:18,160 --> 01:22:19,799
Speaker 1: This is a good game, man.

1337
01:22:20,640 --> 01:22:25,400
Speaker 2: It's exciting. This is this is what you would expect playoff,

1338
01:22:25,600 --> 01:22:30,200
Speaker 2: wild card playoff to be. This is this is it

1339
01:22:32,240 --> 01:22:34,320
Speaker 2: all right, no matter how you no matter how you

1340
01:22:34,520 --> 01:22:38,280
Speaker 2: got into the dance, it's time to bust a move.

1341
01:22:40,200 --> 01:22:44,120
Speaker 1: Here we are, man, here, we are so okay, uh

1342
01:22:44,240 --> 01:22:48,160
Speaker 1: this has been a point counterpoint and the Bucks take

1343
01:22:48,479 --> 01:22:51,559
Speaker 1: the four point lead. We are going to be all

1344
01:22:51,600 --> 01:22:54,840
Speaker 1: over this thing as the second half develops. Stay with

1345
01:22:54,960 --> 01:22:58,880
Speaker 1: us right here on Fox Sports Radio. However, we're also

1346
01:22:58,920 --> 01:23:02,840
Speaker 1: having this quarterback conversation. And if you flip open a

1347
01:23:02,920 --> 01:23:05,920
Speaker 1: laptop or open up your phone, it's been a tough

1348
01:23:05,960 --> 01:23:09,360
Speaker 1: twenty four hours for Justin Herbert. Four interceptions I know

1349
01:23:09,479 --> 01:23:13,640
Speaker 1: you have all kinds of knowledge and love for the

1350
01:23:13,680 --> 01:23:17,880
Speaker 1: Houston Texans organization, so I don't want to diminish their

1351
01:23:17,920 --> 01:23:19,080
Speaker 1: phenomenal performance.

1352
01:23:19,120 --> 01:23:20,719
Speaker 2: Sounds like you're about to go ahead.

1353
01:23:20,720 --> 01:23:24,240
Speaker 1: No, not at all, Not at all. Yeah, No, Jamika Ryans.

1354
01:23:24,400 --> 01:23:27,120
Speaker 1: I love him as a coach. I thought I picked

1355
01:23:27,200 --> 01:23:29,080
Speaker 1: him yesterday. Man. I thought they were going to win

1356
01:23:29,160 --> 01:23:32,519
Speaker 1: that game, and they did. I didn't think it would

1357
01:23:32,520 --> 01:23:35,320
Speaker 1: look like that. I didn't think they'd win by three

1358
01:23:35,400 --> 01:23:40,479
Speaker 1: touchdowns and have Herbert, who basically was defined by taking

1359
01:23:40,520 --> 01:23:44,360
Speaker 1: care of the ball all year. Have this happened, Yes,

1360
01:23:44,439 --> 01:23:48,439
Speaker 1: some of it was off of receivers hands, But what

1361
01:23:48,720 --> 01:23:52,160
Speaker 1: is the discourse today in your mind for Justin Herbert,

1362
01:23:52,200 --> 01:23:56,400
Speaker 1: who now remains without any playoff victories in his career.

1363
01:23:56,880 --> 01:24:01,879
Speaker 2: Look, I still think his talent is remarkable. I think

1364
01:24:04,000 --> 01:24:06,439
Speaker 2: the disservice of his first three years in the league

1365
01:24:07,200 --> 01:24:15,160
Speaker 2: you can't overlook that. And I think Harball and him

1366
01:24:15,439 --> 01:24:21,559
Speaker 2: are going to be a formidable duo for years to come.

1367
01:24:22,880 --> 01:24:29,679
Speaker 2: That's God's understruth, I really do. And just imagine them

1368
01:24:29,760 --> 01:24:36,240
Speaker 2: having the level of receivers and running back that they

1369
01:24:36,320 --> 01:24:40,320
Speaker 2: had the previous two seasons, Say Mike Williams and Keenan

1370
01:24:40,320 --> 01:24:46,880
Speaker 2: Allen is there with Austin Eckler and John Harball. What

1371
01:24:46,920 --> 01:24:48,120
Speaker 2: conversation are we having.

1372
01:24:48,520 --> 01:24:51,839
Speaker 1: Well, that's an interesting one. I mean I would argue

1373
01:24:52,080 --> 01:24:56,040
Speaker 1: maybe we separate that conversation the running back and receiver

1374
01:24:56,880 --> 01:25:00,679
Speaker 1: deal because the receiver deal I feel like was by choice.

1375
01:25:01,080 --> 01:25:03,639
Speaker 2: Yeah, what they had to they were so far leveraged

1376
01:25:03,680 --> 01:25:06,640
Speaker 2: over the cap. They had to make some decisions.

1377
01:25:06,680 --> 01:25:08,920
Speaker 1: And they found one. They went and found another one

1378
01:25:08,920 --> 01:25:09,880
Speaker 1: in the draft.

1379
01:25:09,920 --> 01:25:10,160
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1380
01:25:10,360 --> 01:25:12,120
Speaker 1: Now McConkey, that guy can play.

1381
01:25:12,200 --> 01:25:20,120
Speaker 2: Now, just imagine having another one? Sure someone else? All Right.

1382
01:25:20,280 --> 01:25:25,040
Speaker 2: So that's that's one of those situations where we talked

1383
01:25:25,040 --> 01:25:27,559
Speaker 2: about this at the beginning of the season. What does

1384
01:25:27,600 --> 01:25:31,800
Speaker 2: success look for look like or for Jim Harball in

1385
01:25:31,880 --> 01:25:37,920
Speaker 2: his first seasons as a Chargers coach. This this is success, yes,

1386
01:25:39,160 --> 01:25:41,080
Speaker 2: And I think some people even were like, well, you

1387
01:25:41,160 --> 01:25:44,040
Speaker 2: win nine games, when eight game whatever that is. But

1388
01:25:44,200 --> 01:25:47,720
Speaker 2: the fact that you made it to the playoffs, you

1389
01:25:47,840 --> 01:25:52,800
Speaker 2: had a successful year, You won double digit games in

1390
01:25:52,960 --> 01:25:56,720
Speaker 2: your first year. That is a huge success. Now what

1391
01:25:56,960 --> 01:26:01,639
Speaker 2: can you do to build off of that? What can

1392
01:26:01,720 --> 01:26:06,800
Speaker 2: you do to your team to give you to be

1393
01:26:06,880 --> 01:26:12,240
Speaker 2: able to maximize the level of talent that Justin Herbert has.

1394
01:26:13,880 --> 01:26:17,280
Speaker 2: That's the interesting thing, and I'm excited to see that

1395
01:26:17,479 --> 01:26:21,800
Speaker 2: for them because I think obviously he can make all

1396
01:26:21,840 --> 01:26:24,920
Speaker 2: the throws he has been for the last since he's

1397
01:26:24,960 --> 01:26:26,759
Speaker 2: been in the league at more passing yards than anybody

1398
01:26:27,720 --> 01:26:30,160
Speaker 2: so far since he's been in the league at this age.

1399
01:26:30,840 --> 01:26:32,720
Speaker 1: Did that sneak up on you too?

1400
01:26:33,200 --> 01:26:35,320
Speaker 2: I know it didn't. It didn't, you know what it

1401
01:26:36,040 --> 01:26:38,720
Speaker 2: because I had been tracking that because look, I fell

1402
01:26:38,800 --> 01:26:41,880
Speaker 2: in love with Justin Herbert the first time he started.

1403
01:26:42,720 --> 01:26:46,200
Speaker 2: When the doctor had punctured Tyrod Taylor's lunge and he

1404
01:26:46,320 --> 01:26:49,679
Speaker 2: had to go out there against Patrick Mahomes and outplay

1405
01:26:49,800 --> 01:26:54,760
Speaker 2: Patrick Mahomes and beat Patrick Mahomes, I was like, Oh,

1406
01:26:54,960 --> 01:26:57,400
Speaker 2: wait a minute, this kid is who is this right?

1407
01:26:57,880 --> 01:27:00,160
Speaker 1: Yeah? He was ready, He was already ready and.

1408
01:27:00,280 --> 01:27:05,040
Speaker 2: Not having you gotta remember not having any of the

1409
01:27:05,240 --> 01:27:09,920
Speaker 2: snaps with the first team, not having any of the

1410
01:27:09,960 --> 01:27:14,280
Speaker 2: snaps with the first team, and coming out and being

1411
01:27:14,439 --> 01:27:18,760
Speaker 2: able to do what he did. I was like, Oh,

1412
01:27:18,840 --> 01:27:24,720
Speaker 2: this kid is special. He's special. And so for me,

1413
01:27:25,680 --> 01:27:28,880
Speaker 2: that was that. That showed me what I needed to

1414
01:27:29,479 --> 01:27:33,240
Speaker 2: see from him. I knew that he was going to

1415
01:27:33,320 --> 01:27:34,799
Speaker 2: be special from.

1416
01:27:34,720 --> 01:27:42,080
Speaker 1: That twenty three touchdowns this year and are you ready

1417
01:27:42,120 --> 01:27:46,520
Speaker 1: for this? I don't know. Do people know this little factoid?

1418
01:27:47,800 --> 01:27:50,000
Speaker 1: He had more interceptions yesterday than.

1419
01:27:49,920 --> 01:27:52,360
Speaker 2: He had the whole year. Yep, the whole year. How

1420
01:27:52,400 --> 01:27:53,439
Speaker 2: about that all year?

1421
01:27:54,840 --> 01:27:59,040
Speaker 1: So I don't know. Man Like, look, it's it was

1422
01:27:59,160 --> 01:28:02,280
Speaker 1: not a good performs It was not a good performance

1423
01:28:02,320 --> 01:28:06,320
Speaker 1: by any stretch. The chargers got overwhelmed. They turned the

1424
01:28:06,360 --> 01:28:10,560
Speaker 1: ball over a ton. But at the same time, I

1425
01:28:10,840 --> 01:28:17,719
Speaker 1: get uncomfortable when it feels like the world is looking

1426
01:28:18,360 --> 01:28:23,960
Speaker 1: to discredit. So in other words, if and I don't

1427
01:28:24,040 --> 01:28:27,040
Speaker 1: know whoever's listening, if you like golf or not, but like,

1428
01:28:27,280 --> 01:28:30,559
Speaker 1: let's say you're playing golf. Okay, you play eighteen holes.

1429
01:28:32,240 --> 01:28:33,960
Speaker 1: There's some part three's in there or whatever. But you

1430
01:28:34,040 --> 01:28:37,080
Speaker 1: put the driver in your hand about twelve times in

1431
01:28:37,160 --> 01:28:41,280
Speaker 1: a round of golf, and the first eleven times you

1432
01:28:41,400 --> 01:28:44,920
Speaker 1: stripe that thing down the middle of the fairway, and

1433
01:28:45,040 --> 01:28:48,320
Speaker 1: then you get to the eighteenth and you slice one

1434
01:28:48,360 --> 01:28:51,120
Speaker 1: into the woods. What's your buddy gonna look at you

1435
01:28:51,240 --> 01:28:54,960
Speaker 1: and say, dude, you suck with that club. Wait what

1436
01:28:56,240 --> 01:29:01,280
Speaker 1: I do? And I get it. I understand that that

1437
01:29:01,439 --> 01:29:04,920
Speaker 1: you're going to be judged by your biggest moments. And

1438
01:29:05,240 --> 01:29:07,719
Speaker 1: and justin Herbert has now been to the playoffs twice.

1439
01:29:07,760 --> 01:29:12,000
Speaker 1: He's lost both games. The first one was an epic collapse.

1440
01:29:12,160 --> 01:29:13,920
Speaker 1: You can put that on his defense. You can put

1441
01:29:13,960 --> 01:29:17,479
Speaker 1: it on him too. And and and this obviously, when

1442
01:29:17,479 --> 01:29:19,880
Speaker 1: you throw more interceptions in your one playoff game than

1443
01:29:19,880 --> 01:29:23,120
Speaker 1: you did an entire regular season, I get it, that's embarrassing.

1444
01:29:24,080 --> 01:29:28,240
Speaker 1: But this parade that took place of like see told you,

1445
01:29:28,760 --> 01:29:33,519
Speaker 1: Herbert's not it. Wait a minute, man, he played this

1446
01:29:33,720 --> 01:29:37,479
Speaker 1: guy that was his That was his eighteenth football game

1447
01:29:37,560 --> 01:29:41,240
Speaker 1: this year. No, he has That's the what we were

1448
01:29:41,320 --> 01:29:47,559
Speaker 1: just gonna We're gonna define him by yesterday. No, I can't.

1449
01:29:49,040 --> 01:29:53,960
Speaker 2: Right, even the greats have stinkers. But look, I love

1450
01:29:54,080 --> 01:29:58,600
Speaker 2: him and hardball together, I love I'm so interested to

1451
01:29:58,640 --> 01:30:02,439
Speaker 2: see what this offseason is going for them in terms

1452
01:30:02,479 --> 01:30:06,080
Speaker 2: of building out a team that can compete and a

1453
01:30:06,160 --> 01:30:10,160
Speaker 2: team that can maximize. Look, his attempts per per game

1454
01:30:10,320 --> 01:30:14,400
Speaker 2: went down because we know what Jim wants to do.

1455
01:30:14,479 --> 01:30:16,560
Speaker 2: He wants to run the ball, und the ball. He

1456
01:30:16,600 --> 01:30:20,200
Speaker 2: wants to run the ball. That actually helped, That's why

1457
01:30:20,439 --> 01:30:25,519
Speaker 2: his turnovers were down. When you don't have to throw

1458
01:30:25,560 --> 01:30:28,400
Speaker 2: the ball forty times a game. You'd be surprised on

1459
01:30:28,479 --> 01:30:30,960
Speaker 2: how well you could take care of it. Right, he

1460
01:30:31,200 --> 01:30:34,880
Speaker 2: was right around you know, twenty eight twenty nine pass

1461
01:30:34,920 --> 01:30:38,200
Speaker 2: attempts a game that's perfect. He got them all the

1462
01:30:38,240 --> 01:30:45,759
Speaker 2: way to the playoffs and eleven wins. So the formula

1463
01:30:45,920 --> 01:30:49,200
Speaker 2: is there. How can they tweak the formula, make a

1464
01:30:49,240 --> 01:30:56,040
Speaker 2: little bit better and and you know, attack the season

1465
01:30:56,520 --> 01:30:59,200
Speaker 2: off of a success opposed to a disappointment.

1466
01:31:01,200 --> 01:31:04,559
Speaker 1: What if I asked you in the next three years,

1467
01:31:05,840 --> 01:31:10,479
Speaker 1: well that pairing Harbaugh and Herbert win an AFC West. Yes,

1468
01:31:12,000 --> 01:31:14,519
Speaker 1: I agree with you. I would take that bet too.

1469
01:31:15,600 --> 01:31:18,560
Speaker 1: I would take that bet too. And that's that's you know,

1470
01:31:18,720 --> 01:31:22,240
Speaker 1: presumably with a with a healthy Patrick Mahomes.

1471
01:31:21,880 --> 01:31:28,280
Speaker 2: Of course, of course. Look, look, you know the Chiefs

1472
01:31:28,360 --> 01:31:29,960
Speaker 2: have their own things that they need to work on

1473
01:31:30,640 --> 01:31:34,360
Speaker 2: and deal with. Sure, so you know, as as teams

1474
01:31:34,439 --> 01:31:39,640
Speaker 2: around you get better, you can't stand pat You have

1475
01:31:39,800 --> 01:31:42,560
Speaker 2: to be vigilant as well. For Kansas City, we know

1476
01:31:42,760 --> 01:31:46,200
Speaker 2: what the charge or how the chargers are trending. So

1477
01:31:46,560 --> 01:31:51,200
Speaker 2: that's where you know, we'll see what Kansas City looks

1478
01:31:51,280 --> 01:31:57,280
Speaker 2: like next week in the playoffs. Will Yeah, we've definitely

1479
01:31:57,320 --> 01:32:01,639
Speaker 2: had some questions as their on to the ten yard line.

1480
01:32:01,880 --> 01:32:05,680
Speaker 2: Just that fast, Washington. Yep, we got a penalty on

1481
01:32:05,760 --> 01:32:08,639
Speaker 2: the play. I don't know if it's coming back. We'll see.

1482
01:32:08,800 --> 01:32:10,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, we'll take a look at this one. I guess

1483
01:32:11,400 --> 01:32:13,559
Speaker 1: some offensive linemen got their hands on their hips. They're

1484
01:32:13,560 --> 01:32:23,920
Speaker 1: not yeah, uh yeah. All right. So, speaking of those

1485
01:32:23,960 --> 01:32:27,080
Speaker 1: Houston Texans and where they go next week, I really

1486
01:32:27,200 --> 01:32:30,320
Speaker 1: really want to talk to you about not just the matchup,

1487
01:32:30,760 --> 01:32:33,240
Speaker 1: but the emotions of this for a reason that some

1488
01:32:33,320 --> 01:32:35,280
Speaker 1: people might not be thinking about. We'll talk about that

1489
01:32:35,680 --> 01:32:38,559
Speaker 1: coming up next to the MVP Bowl, also that they're

1490
01:32:38,600 --> 01:32:41,679
Speaker 1: calling it in the AFC. With me from Salama, Mark Willard,

1491
01:32:41,720 --> 01:32:45,120
Speaker 1: this is Fox Sports Radio. All right, we're live in

1492
01:32:45,200 --> 01:32:47,760
Speaker 1: the tyrag dot com studios. My dog. Can I ask

1493
01:32:47,800 --> 01:32:50,760
Speaker 1: you questions? Since you've been around football for a long time? Yeah,

1494
01:32:53,080 --> 01:32:56,599
Speaker 1: do you remember back in the day when it came

1495
01:32:56,720 --> 01:32:59,400
Speaker 1: to pass interference? Because by the way, Washington commanders a

1496
01:32:59,479 --> 01:33:01,720
Speaker 1: first and goal at the one yard line, they're down

1497
01:33:02,360 --> 01:33:10,840
Speaker 1: seventeen to thirteen. No, that'll be second and goal. Do

1498
01:33:10,920 --> 01:33:15,040
Speaker 1: you ever remember when pass interference wasn't called because the

1499
01:33:15,120 --> 01:33:19,479
Speaker 1: officials would say the pass was not catchable. Yes, they

1500
01:33:19,520 --> 01:33:21,160
Speaker 1: would do what happened that?

1501
01:33:21,640 --> 01:33:22,600
Speaker 2: Over your head? You know?

1502
01:33:23,439 --> 01:33:29,759
Speaker 1: Yes, what what happened to that? Anyone? Is that still

1503
01:33:29,800 --> 01:33:33,160
Speaker 1: a rule? I haven't heard it in twenty years, and

1504
01:33:33,280 --> 01:33:36,639
Speaker 1: I'll watch and this one was like a light version

1505
01:33:36,760 --> 01:33:41,160
Speaker 1: of it. But that ball, like Shack couldn't have caught it,

1506
01:33:42,680 --> 01:33:44,680
Speaker 1: and it was Pi in the end zone. There was

1507
01:33:44,800 --> 01:33:51,200
Speaker 1: definitely contact. I don't argue that. But you could have stilts.

1508
01:33:51,280 --> 01:33:53,920
Speaker 1: You could be that halftime performer at the Lakers game

1509
01:33:53,960 --> 01:33:57,320
Speaker 1: with all the plates on the gut right, you could

1510
01:33:57,360 --> 01:34:01,040
Speaker 1: be her. You're not really why is that interference? That's

1511
01:34:01,080 --> 01:34:02,160
Speaker 1: not a catchable pass?

1512
01:34:02,240 --> 01:34:04,839
Speaker 2: I know, but you in the obstruction of a receiver.

1513
01:34:05,000 --> 01:34:07,599
Speaker 2: It's now become the thing opposed to the ball being

1514
01:34:07,760 --> 01:34:08,559
Speaker 2: able to be caught.

1515
01:34:12,479 --> 01:34:16,280
Speaker 1: Come on, man, pass interference? What pass?

1516
01:34:17,479 --> 01:34:19,840
Speaker 2: Well, they're losing yards now, it's now yeah.

1517
01:34:20,160 --> 01:34:22,080
Speaker 1: Now it's third and goal at the three and you're

1518
01:34:22,080 --> 01:34:24,080
Speaker 1: about to lose their mind if they don't get it

1519
01:34:24,120 --> 01:34:25,760
Speaker 1: because they're going to go for it on four.

1520
01:34:27,400 --> 01:34:30,040
Speaker 2: It's almost picked. Yeah, I'm just kicked it.

1521
01:34:30,240 --> 01:34:32,599
Speaker 1: Okay, what would you do from.

1522
01:34:32,520 --> 01:34:36,479
Speaker 2: Phild goal and the fourth and at the fourteen oh

1523
01:34:36,640 --> 01:34:39,400
Speaker 2: five minute mark in the fourth quarter, as they're not

1524
01:34:39,600 --> 01:34:40,400
Speaker 2: they're going to go.

1525
01:34:41,160 --> 01:34:43,120
Speaker 1: Of course they're going to go for it. It makes

1526
01:34:43,880 --> 01:34:46,600
Speaker 1: this makes you get to the If you get to

1527
01:34:46,720 --> 01:34:50,439
Speaker 1: the one yard line, that's it. That's the deal. You

1528
01:34:50,560 --> 01:34:54,080
Speaker 1: go like, you just go for it until until something

1529
01:34:54,240 --> 01:34:54,920
Speaker 1: different happens.

1530
01:34:54,960 --> 01:34:56,400
Speaker 2: You know, you would have the lead right if you

1531
01:34:57,320 --> 01:35:00,280
Speaker 2: it would just kick, it will be sixteen seventeen. Yes,

1532
01:35:00,479 --> 01:35:03,000
Speaker 2: and then you get kicking to make it nineteen seventeen.

1533
01:35:03,520 --> 01:35:12,400
Speaker 1: All right, yeah, yeah, So fourth and goal from from

1534
01:35:12,479 --> 01:35:15,439
Speaker 1: the three and you got nothing and the Bucks have

1535
01:35:15,560 --> 01:35:20,880
Speaker 1: the ball. Damn got six, Quinn. Remember you said six

1536
01:35:20,960 --> 01:35:23,200
Speaker 1: point you wanted to put him in your pocket. Six

1537
01:35:23,560 --> 01:35:26,519
Speaker 1: You have six in your pocket in a four point game.

1538
01:35:27,040 --> 01:35:29,880
Speaker 2: Look, I'm not just saying this stuff. And that was

1539
01:35:30,000 --> 01:35:35,960
Speaker 2: two hours ago when I was mentioning this this. I know,

1540
01:35:36,200 --> 01:35:38,120
Speaker 2: I really know what I'm talking about here.

1541
01:35:38,360 --> 01:35:40,439
Speaker 1: I believe you.

1542
01:35:41,120 --> 01:35:46,320
Speaker 2: So now you've deflated your offense again as the coach.

1543
01:35:47,439 --> 01:35:50,320
Speaker 2: You've now taken something from them again.

1544
01:35:53,320 --> 01:35:54,800
Speaker 1: He went all the way to the one yard line,

1545
01:35:56,080 --> 01:35:57,840
Speaker 1: bright you and they got nothing.

1546
01:35:58,000 --> 01:36:00,240
Speaker 2: Do you know how hard at what most people don't know,

1547
01:36:00,439 --> 01:36:04,599
Speaker 2: but I put it in there. This is a rhetorical question.

1548
01:36:05,800 --> 01:36:08,439
Speaker 2: Do you know how hard it is to drive down

1549
01:36:08,560 --> 01:36:12,400
Speaker 2: the field in the NFL, get to the one yard

1550
01:36:12,479 --> 01:36:13,679
Speaker 2: line and get no points.

1551
01:36:14,400 --> 01:36:15,240
Speaker 1: It seems hard.

1552
01:36:17,000 --> 01:36:22,320
Speaker 2: It's without without even taking the points into account, Just

1553
01:36:22,439 --> 01:36:27,000
Speaker 2: to drive down into the red zone is extremely difficult.

1554
01:36:28,400 --> 01:36:31,360
Speaker 2: So many things have to go right along the way,

1555
01:36:33,320 --> 01:36:40,000
Speaker 2: and to not get anything for it a couple of

1556
01:36:40,080 --> 01:36:49,120
Speaker 2: times it is it's nerve wracking. And so I I

1557
01:36:49,880 --> 01:36:53,400
Speaker 2: know what that feels like. I'm look, I'm this is

1558
01:36:53,439 --> 01:36:56,719
Speaker 2: a real this is These are my my own accounts

1559
01:36:56,760 --> 01:37:03,000
Speaker 2: of when I was in games, especially on the road,

1560
01:37:04,240 --> 01:37:09,000
Speaker 2: When we got to the forty yard line going in,

1561
01:37:11,160 --> 01:37:13,599
Speaker 2: I would breathe a little bit of sigh of relief

1562
01:37:15,240 --> 01:37:18,080
Speaker 2: because I knew we were on the cusp of getting

1563
01:37:18,120 --> 01:37:21,200
Speaker 2: points no matter what happened. Did we want this touchdown?

1564
01:37:21,280 --> 01:37:23,920
Speaker 2: We want the six, of course, But as long as

1565
01:37:24,000 --> 01:37:27,960
Speaker 2: we got points, I could be like, man, we did that.

1566
01:37:30,720 --> 01:37:36,000
Speaker 2: Once we got to the thirty, that filling grew exponentiously,

1567
01:37:37,360 --> 01:37:47,280
Speaker 2: exponentially twenty ten five. The filling grows. If I don't

1568
01:37:47,360 --> 01:37:54,400
Speaker 2: get any points in any of those drives past the thirty,

1569
01:37:55,840 --> 01:37:58,920
Speaker 2: it has the adverse effect. What are we doing out here?

1570
01:38:00,920 --> 01:38:06,960
Speaker 2: There was no one open because there was less room

1571
01:38:07,120 --> 01:38:11,080
Speaker 2: to guard. Now that is a penalty where the linebacker

1572
01:38:11,240 --> 01:38:14,519
Speaker 2: just bear hugs the tied end. It sure is, but

1573
01:38:14,640 --> 01:38:18,280
Speaker 2: they're not You're you're you're not calling the play for

1574
01:38:18,439 --> 01:38:19,040
Speaker 2: a penalty.

1575
01:38:19,520 --> 01:38:22,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, but that's like, that's the that's to me, that's

1576
01:38:23,080 --> 01:38:24,559
Speaker 1: baked into the risk that.

1577
01:38:24,600 --> 01:38:29,920
Speaker 2: You're you're opening yourself up for a subjective view of

1578
01:38:30,040 --> 01:38:30,599
Speaker 2: what happened.

1579
01:38:30,920 --> 01:38:33,560
Speaker 1: Sure, sure, Like I mean I could argue, as I

1580
01:38:33,720 --> 01:38:35,719
Speaker 1: just did that you got down to the one yard

1581
01:38:35,760 --> 01:38:39,439
Speaker 1: line with a pass interference penalty that is questionable because

1582
01:38:39,439 --> 01:38:43,160
Speaker 1: the ball was eleven feet over your head. So that

1583
01:38:43,280 --> 01:38:46,599
Speaker 1: worked for you and then it worked against you. That's life.

1584
01:38:48,360 --> 01:38:50,040
Speaker 2: This is if you if they let them get out

1585
01:38:50,040 --> 01:38:51,400
Speaker 2: of here and go down the score.

1586
01:38:52,760 --> 01:38:55,120
Speaker 1: Well that's the thing. Like I love the way you

1587
01:38:55,320 --> 01:38:58,320
Speaker 1: look at it, which is to think about this in

1588
01:38:58,600 --> 01:39:01,280
Speaker 1: in in the reverse view or the what could happen

1589
01:39:01,439 --> 01:39:04,680
Speaker 1: next card, which is to say, if the Bucks go

1590
01:39:04,800 --> 01:39:07,760
Speaker 1: get a touchdown here, well, now you're down by two

1591
01:39:07,800 --> 01:39:11,880
Speaker 1: scores in the fourth quarter and your host, yes, you're

1592
01:39:11,920 --> 01:39:15,360
Speaker 1: in trouble. You are in trouble if the Bucks and

1593
01:39:15,560 --> 01:39:16,080
Speaker 1: so that's.

1594
01:39:16,240 --> 01:39:19,479
Speaker 2: What if you take the goal and it's sixteen to

1595
01:39:19,600 --> 01:39:24,000
Speaker 2: seventeen and they go down and score, you're still only

1596
01:39:24,080 --> 01:39:27,320
Speaker 2: down by one score. Correct, that's what. I don't know

1597
01:39:27,439 --> 01:39:31,720
Speaker 2: what analytical software they're using, but the fact that it's

1598
01:39:31,800 --> 01:39:35,280
Speaker 2: not telling them that is burn the whole thing down. Mike,

1599
01:39:36,240 --> 01:39:36,759
Speaker 2: Mike Evans.

1600
01:39:37,400 --> 01:39:43,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, analytics software is hilarious because and it was Mike Evans.

1601
01:39:43,800 --> 01:39:44,840
Speaker 1: He got a first thame.

1602
01:39:44,920 --> 01:39:46,360
Speaker 2: He didn't even look anywhere else.

1603
01:39:46,880 --> 01:39:50,920
Speaker 1: No, by the way, the analytics software I've decided is

1604
01:39:51,040 --> 01:39:55,600
Speaker 1: hilarious because I've never not once when they go for it,

1605
01:39:56,280 --> 01:39:59,439
Speaker 1: does that little thing pop on the screen and have

1606
01:39:59,600 --> 01:40:04,880
Speaker 1: it say next Gen SAT say, dude, coach, you should punt.

1607
01:40:05,400 --> 01:40:09,160
Speaker 1: It never says that. It says you're supposed to go

1608
01:40:09,320 --> 01:40:12,880
Speaker 1: for it every single time. I think the next Gen

1609
01:40:13,000 --> 01:40:15,520
Speaker 1: Stats is just some dude with a fantasy.

1610
01:40:15,120 --> 01:40:19,439
Speaker 2: Squad has it.

1611
01:40:19,840 --> 01:40:25,000
Speaker 1: Wow, Oh that was yeah, Washington does have it at

1612
01:40:25,040 --> 01:40:25,960
Speaker 1: the twelve yard line.

1613
01:40:26,000 --> 01:40:29,280
Speaker 2: Doesn't matter. They can have it at twelve yard line

1614
01:40:29,320 --> 01:40:34,320
Speaker 2: and get no points. It right, we've seen this. We wow,

1615
01:40:34,439 --> 01:40:34,920
Speaker 2: we've seen this.

1616
01:40:35,600 --> 01:40:39,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, this is I mean, this game is exactly what

1617
01:40:39,520 --> 01:40:40,040
Speaker 1: I thought it was.

1618
01:40:40,160 --> 01:40:41,519
Speaker 2: We needed a little game tonight.

1619
01:40:41,640 --> 01:40:44,040
Speaker 1: It's a little lower scoring that I thought it would.

1620
01:40:43,800 --> 01:40:45,960
Speaker 2: Be, and lieu of the fires in the tragedy, we

1621
01:40:46,120 --> 01:40:49,000
Speaker 2: needed this level of entertainment.

1622
01:40:48,760 --> 01:40:54,720
Speaker 1: No joke, no joke, this thing, but the the emotional

1623
01:40:54,840 --> 01:40:59,240
Speaker 1: roller coaster that you're talking about is right here on display.

1624
01:41:00,160 --> 01:41:05,000
Speaker 1: And if I'm Washington and I get this fumble at

1625
01:41:05,040 --> 01:41:09,000
Speaker 1: the twelve and we take this seven yards and we

1626
01:41:09,160 --> 01:41:12,080
Speaker 1: kick a field goal and we're still losing, oh my god,

1627
01:41:13,640 --> 01:41:16,600
Speaker 1: I'm mad. Yeah you should be.

1628
01:41:18,360 --> 01:41:23,000
Speaker 2: It's as if we get to the thirty minute mark

1629
01:41:23,040 --> 01:41:26,280
Speaker 2: of our show and Steve p. Seger is like, I'm done,

1630
01:41:27,000 --> 01:41:31,599
Speaker 2: I'm not coming on, I'd be pissed. Luckily he's a professional.

1631
01:41:31,680 --> 01:41:34,080
Speaker 5: No, No, I'm not Tyreek Hill. I'm just aj Brown.

1632
01:41:34,120 --> 01:41:36,639
Speaker 5: I've got a book by just standing by.

1633
01:41:37,040 --> 01:41:37,439
Speaker 2: By the way.

1634
01:41:37,520 --> 01:41:40,920
Speaker 5: Two things for you. The uncatchable is still actually in

1635
01:41:41,000 --> 01:41:46,000
Speaker 5: the NFL le okay, I felt the actual term uncatchable

1636
01:41:46,640 --> 01:41:49,839
Speaker 5: is in Article three. It's talking about pass interference except

1637
01:41:50,360 --> 01:41:54,599
Speaker 5: when contact that would normally be considered past interference. However,

1638
01:41:54,720 --> 01:41:57,879
Speaker 5: the pass is clearly uncatchable by the players involved.

1639
01:41:58,080 --> 01:41:58,559
Speaker 2: End quote.

1640
01:41:59,200 --> 01:42:02,479
Speaker 5: Second, I agree with you on the why in the world,

1641
01:42:02,600 --> 01:42:05,479
Speaker 5: especially that first drive for Washington. Why are they going

1642
01:42:05,560 --> 01:42:06,479
Speaker 5: Ford on fourth down?

1643
01:42:07,320 --> 01:42:08,160
Speaker 1: I will say, at.

1644
01:42:08,200 --> 01:42:12,280
Speaker 5: Least on two points, I get it, because Washington this

1645
01:42:12,479 --> 01:42:15,320
Speaker 5: year going forward on fourth down was twenty for twenty three,

1646
01:42:15,439 --> 01:42:17,679
Speaker 5: which was one of the best fourth down conversion rates

1647
01:42:17,720 --> 01:42:21,680
Speaker 5: of the last thirty years. Kind of like Brandon Staley's

1648
01:42:21,720 --> 01:42:23,880
Speaker 5: first year with the Chargers he started, I think it

1649
01:42:24,040 --> 01:42:27,439
Speaker 5: was eight for nine converting fourth downs. I see why

1650
01:42:27,560 --> 01:42:30,160
Speaker 5: these people fall in love with it. I don't agree

1651
01:42:30,280 --> 01:42:33,519
Speaker 5: with said call, but I at least get it. Tampa

1652
01:42:33,560 --> 01:42:36,519
Speaker 5: Bay Bucks defensive back Jammel Dean, with a knee injury,

1653
01:42:36,560 --> 01:42:39,080
Speaker 5: has been downgraded to out for the rest of the night.

1654
01:42:39,560 --> 01:42:42,840
Speaker 5: Can I add that Washington defensive back Marshawn Lattimore has

1655
01:42:42,960 --> 01:42:45,960
Speaker 5: just been schooled by Mike Evans tonight. Tampa Bay's star

1656
01:42:46,080 --> 01:42:50,400
Speaker 5: wide receiver's been targeted seven times overall, has seven catches

1657
01:42:50,479 --> 01:42:53,880
Speaker 5: for ninety two yards, including a pass interference in the

1658
01:42:54,040 --> 01:42:55,800
Speaker 5: end zone, and then he got a one yard TV

1659
01:42:55,960 --> 01:42:58,880
Speaker 5: catch on the very next play. For the moment, the

1660
01:42:58,960 --> 01:43:02,840
Speaker 5: Bucks leads seven teen thirteen over Washington in this wild

1661
01:43:02,920 --> 01:43:06,040
Speaker 5: card weekend playoff, eleven and a half minutes to go

1662
01:43:06,360 --> 01:43:09,920
Speaker 5: in the fourth quarter. Yes, Baker Mayfield and company just

1663
01:43:10,080 --> 01:43:13,640
Speaker 5: turned it over. So Washington has the ball inside the

1664
01:43:13,760 --> 01:43:17,840
Speaker 5: fifteen of Tampa Bay, but they've been stopped on fourth

1665
01:43:17,880 --> 01:43:21,240
Speaker 5: down a couple times, so Washington is trailing seventeen to thirteen.

1666
01:43:21,439 --> 01:43:23,840
Speaker 5: The details on that very first drive of the night

1667
01:43:23,920 --> 01:43:26,759
Speaker 5: for the Washington offense, They drove down to the Tampa

1668
01:43:26,800 --> 01:43:29,720
Speaker 5: Bay twenty, went for it on fourth and two and

1669
01:43:29,880 --> 01:43:33,200
Speaker 5: threw incomplete. And then they turned it over on Down's

1670
01:43:33,240 --> 01:43:36,519
Speaker 5: early fourth quarter on a fourth and goal from the three,

1671
01:43:36,640 --> 01:43:39,040
Speaker 5: when they went for it and through incomplete to a

1672
01:43:39,160 --> 01:43:41,600
Speaker 5: tight end. So Tampa Bay at home is still in

1673
01:43:41,680 --> 01:43:44,719
Speaker 5: the lead. Bucks have won six of their last seven games.

1674
01:43:44,800 --> 01:43:47,720
Speaker 5: Commanders come in with a five game winning streak. There's

1675
01:43:47,720 --> 01:43:50,679
Speaker 5: another game tomorrow night, the Rams quote home game against

1676
01:43:50,720 --> 01:43:54,280
Speaker 5: the Vikings being played in Arizona tomorrow. Today started with

1677
01:43:54,360 --> 01:43:57,240
Speaker 5: Buffalo's home win against Denver thirty one to seven. The

1678
01:43:57,320 --> 01:44:00,280
Speaker 5: Bills nine to zero at home this year, Eagles nine

1679
01:44:00,360 --> 01:44:03,160
Speaker 5: and one at home after a victory against Green Bay

1680
01:44:03,280 --> 01:44:06,160
Speaker 5: twenty two to ten. The Packers fumbled the opening kickoff

1681
01:44:06,200 --> 01:44:09,920
Speaker 5: and Jordan Love threw three interceptions. The Patriots hired Mike

1682
01:44:10,040 --> 01:44:12,760
Speaker 5: Rabel as their new head coach. In the NBA, New

1683
01:44:12,840 --> 01:44:15,519
Speaker 5: York got forty four points from Jalen Brunson and beat

1684
01:44:15,600 --> 01:44:19,160
Speaker 5: Milwaukee won forty to one. ZHO six Sacramento won its

1685
01:44:19,240 --> 01:44:21,439
Speaker 5: seventh game in a row, one twenty four to one

1686
01:44:21,479 --> 01:44:24,679
Speaker 5: to nineteen at Chicago despite thirty six from Zach Lavine.

1687
01:44:25,080 --> 01:44:28,280
Speaker 5: Nuggets came from nineteen down to win at Dallas. Oklahoma

1688
01:44:28,400 --> 01:44:31,040
Speaker 5: City won again winning at Washington, or should I say

1689
01:44:31,200 --> 01:44:33,439
Speaker 5: Washington lost again? They lost six in a row. They're

1690
01:44:33,439 --> 01:44:36,800
Speaker 5: six and thirty one this year. Indiana won at six

1691
01:44:36,880 --> 01:44:40,840
Speaker 5: straight one at Cleveland, Boston, and Orlando. With victories, the

1692
01:44:40,880 --> 01:44:44,280
Speaker 5: Clippers and Lakers will each resume their home schedules on Monday.

1693
01:44:44,600 --> 01:44:46,800
Speaker 5: Coco Goff has won our first round match at the

1694
01:44:46,880 --> 01:44:49,840
Speaker 5: Australian Open. And hey guys, we might have a fourth

1695
01:44:49,880 --> 01:44:53,200
Speaker 5: down coming up for the Washington Collanders in the rest.

1696
01:44:53,280 --> 01:44:56,200
Speaker 1: Might we might have a first down for Tampa though.

1697
01:44:56,320 --> 01:44:59,639
Speaker 1: This one's gonna go to review. And I'm not sure

1698
01:44:59,720 --> 01:45:01,120
Speaker 1: who actually he.

1699
01:45:01,160 --> 01:45:03,720
Speaker 2: Has the ball down he had you show my god,

1700
01:45:03,760 --> 01:45:04,880
Speaker 2: they're going for I can't do this.

1701
01:45:05,320 --> 01:45:07,400
Speaker 5: They are from the five yard line of Tampa Bay.

1702
01:45:09,520 --> 01:45:12,679
Speaker 5: They're gonna get this one just because of all the time.

1703
01:45:13,400 --> 01:45:14,320
Speaker 1: Touchdown there we go.

1704
01:45:15,320 --> 01:45:18,439
Speaker 5: Terry McLaurin and the Washington Commanders have just taken the

1705
01:45:18,560 --> 01:45:21,719
Speaker 5: lead with under ten minutes to go. An extra point

1706
01:45:21,800 --> 01:45:24,800
Speaker 5: we'll make it twenty to seventeen at Tampa Bay. That's

1707
01:45:24,840 --> 01:45:26,719
Speaker 5: two TD passes for Jade and Daniel.

1708
01:45:26,760 --> 01:45:27,240
Speaker 2: Speak to you.

1709
01:45:27,920 --> 01:45:29,960
Speaker 1: If I've said it once, I've said it a thousand

1710
01:45:30,080 --> 01:45:32,439
Speaker 1: times more. Teams should go for it on fourth thousand.

1711
01:45:35,880 --> 01:45:41,479
Speaker 1: Are you alive? Are you still on this show?

1712
01:45:43,479 --> 01:45:44,439
Speaker 2: May or may not be?

1713
01:45:48,040 --> 01:45:52,280
Speaker 1: Gosh, that's funny. I'm still not convinced by the way

1714
01:45:52,400 --> 01:45:56,679
Speaker 1: that Washington shouldn't even still have the ball that Austin

1715
01:45:56,720 --> 01:45:59,479
Speaker 1: Eckler catch on third down certainly look like the ball

1716
01:45:59,600 --> 01:46:02,439
Speaker 1: kind of bouncing around on his chest and then grabbed

1717
01:46:02,880 --> 01:46:04,160
Speaker 1: by the Tampa defender.

1718
01:46:04,280 --> 01:46:06,559
Speaker 2: But anyway, I got to get out of here.

1719
01:46:06,600 --> 01:46:10,000
Speaker 1: Man. Alright, man, you want to like at least go to.

1720
01:46:14,120 --> 01:46:19,560
Speaker 2: I can't take it well killing me.

1721
01:46:20,640 --> 01:46:23,080
Speaker 1: I mean. The funny thing is is if they would

1722
01:46:23,320 --> 01:46:29,240
Speaker 1: just they've gotten two touchdowns, but they've also left three

1723
01:46:29,360 --> 01:46:32,760
Speaker 1: field goals on the board. So if they would have

1724
01:46:33,000 --> 01:46:38,000
Speaker 1: just kicked all of the field goals, that would equal

1725
01:46:38,800 --> 01:46:44,040
Speaker 1: fifteen points, and instead they've got fourteen. I don't know

1726
01:46:44,120 --> 01:46:49,800
Speaker 1: if that matters, but it kind of evens out sort of. Maybe.

1727
01:46:51,800 --> 01:46:55,880
Speaker 1: Oh no, I don't know, but it's pretty funny. It's

1728
01:46:55,960 --> 01:46:56,559
Speaker 1: pretty funny.

1729
01:46:56,640 --> 01:47:01,320
Speaker 2: Man, if you pay funny, nine are six more points

1730
01:47:01,360 --> 01:47:04,360
Speaker 2: to their total? Does it even out?

1731
01:47:04,840 --> 01:47:06,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, but they like twice they did it and they

1732
01:47:06,880 --> 01:47:12,639
Speaker 1: got touchdowns, so that's four plus four where they right

1733
01:47:12,760 --> 01:47:17,519
Speaker 1: where they gained that, so they breath. Then they lost

1734
01:47:17,560 --> 01:47:20,599
Speaker 1: a point, which is not an insignificant point. They're only

1735
01:47:20,720 --> 01:47:21,920
Speaker 1: up three instead of four.

1736
01:47:23,880 --> 01:47:28,439
Speaker 2: But you can't just I mean, you can't eat. You

1737
01:47:28,600 --> 01:47:30,120
Speaker 2: have gorge yourself.

1738
01:47:30,479 --> 01:47:33,559
Speaker 1: If they had kicked the field goal on the previous drive,

1739
01:47:33,640 --> 01:47:35,920
Speaker 1: then they'd be kicking off and there wouldn't have been

1740
01:47:36,000 --> 01:47:36,599
Speaker 1: this fumbled.

1741
01:47:36,600 --> 01:47:40,439
Speaker 2: That's well, you don't know. You don't know because they

1742
01:47:40,479 --> 01:47:45,240
Speaker 2: would listen, they would have been in the same area field.

1743
01:47:45,280 --> 01:47:47,120
Speaker 1: Tampa would have been out at the thirty yard line.

1744
01:47:47,479 --> 01:47:48,080
Speaker 2: We don't know that.

1745
01:47:50,040 --> 01:47:53,160
Speaker 1: Twenty what if they returned it for a touchdown? I mean,

1746
01:47:53,280 --> 01:47:54,599
Speaker 1: anything could have happened.

1747
01:47:54,880 --> 01:47:57,479
Speaker 2: But guess I'm just saying, guess what points are points?

1748
01:47:57,880 --> 01:48:02,320
Speaker 2: There's no speculatory nation a notion about points either you

1749
01:48:02,479 --> 01:48:04,599
Speaker 2: put them up on the board. Are you doing?

1750
01:48:05,120 --> 01:48:07,560
Speaker 1: But my point is that they just got seven that

1751
01:48:07,680 --> 01:48:11,960
Speaker 1: we can't assume that they would have gotten in that

1752
01:48:12,120 --> 01:48:14,519
Speaker 1: same spot had they kicked the field goal.

1753
01:48:14,640 --> 01:48:18,840
Speaker 2: No, they would have just been up. Yes, they would

1754
01:48:18,880 --> 01:48:20,160
Speaker 2: have just been up in the in the in the

1755
01:48:20,200 --> 01:48:20,800
Speaker 2: football game.

1756
01:48:21,280 --> 01:48:22,680
Speaker 1: Well, no, they were going to get No.

1757
01:48:22,760 --> 01:48:24,479
Speaker 2: No, I'm talking about if you take all of the

1758
01:48:24,560 --> 01:48:26,760
Speaker 2: points that they handed out, they would have been up

1759
01:48:26,800 --> 01:48:29,560
Speaker 2: in the football game. Listen, listen, Mark, let me take you.

1760
01:48:30,120 --> 01:48:32,160
Speaker 2: Let me tell you that the football game. Now, let

1761
01:48:32,200 --> 01:48:36,400
Speaker 2: me tell you this. Okay, listen to me. Man, I'm listening.

1762
01:48:36,479 --> 01:48:40,200
Speaker 2: You're not listening. Listen to me.

1763
01:48:40,800 --> 01:48:42,439
Speaker 1: I'm listening like I'm talking.

1764
01:48:42,600 --> 01:48:45,840
Speaker 2: You still do not listening. I noticed you're not listening.

1765
01:48:46,120 --> 01:48:47,000
Speaker 2: You're still talking.

1766
01:48:49,160 --> 01:48:50,519
Speaker 1: Go ahead, listen to me.

1767
01:48:50,680 --> 01:48:55,320
Speaker 2: When I say, when you're up in a game by

1768
01:48:55,479 --> 01:48:59,479
Speaker 2: one point or you're within one point, it changes what

1769
01:48:59,680 --> 01:49:08,360
Speaker 2: the posing offense does opposed to when they're up. So

1770
01:49:08,840 --> 01:49:14,200
Speaker 2: not only do you affect your team's momentum, you affect theirs.

1771
01:49:14,360 --> 01:49:17,760
Speaker 2: You're on the road, every time a team stops you,

1772
01:49:19,080 --> 01:49:23,960
Speaker 2: the crowd gets energized. Every time you score, you take

1773
01:49:24,040 --> 01:49:28,960
Speaker 2: the crowd out and deflate the team. That's all part

1774
01:49:29,040 --> 01:49:32,040
Speaker 2: of the game. When you throw that out the window

1775
01:49:32,120 --> 01:49:40,200
Speaker 2: and listen to analytics, you find yourself climbing a hill constantly.

1776
01:49:41,800 --> 01:49:46,479
Speaker 2: But there's no plateaus on the road. So this whole

1777
01:49:46,560 --> 01:49:50,360
Speaker 2: feast or famine, notion on the road and a winner,

1778
01:49:50,479 --> 01:49:55,040
Speaker 2: go home game is reckless and it's dangerous because the

1779
01:49:55,160 --> 01:49:59,080
Speaker 2: last thing you want in the fourth quarter coming down

1780
01:49:59,120 --> 01:50:04,840
Speaker 2: the stretch on the road is you haven't taken that

1781
01:50:05,560 --> 01:50:09,000
Speaker 2: team out of the game at all. You haven't taken

1782
01:50:09,040 --> 01:50:13,559
Speaker 2: the crowd out of the game. So you it took

1783
01:50:13,640 --> 01:50:20,920
Speaker 2: them to mess up. They fumbled, Bucky Irvin boof. It

1784
01:50:21,000 --> 01:50:24,320
Speaker 2: took them to mess up, not you eat them. There

1785
01:50:24,400 --> 01:50:27,759
Speaker 2: was a botched handoff between a quarterback and a receiver

1786
01:50:29,840 --> 01:50:34,599
Speaker 2: and you still couldn't move it. It took four downs

1787
01:50:34,680 --> 01:50:41,960
Speaker 2: to go what seven yards twelve or whatever? Yeah, yeah,

1788
01:50:43,920 --> 01:50:47,160
Speaker 2: so that's the I'm with you.

1789
01:50:47,520 --> 01:50:48,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm with you.

1790
01:50:48,439 --> 01:50:51,120
Speaker 2: It doesn't sound like you are. Well, no, I'm with you.

1791
01:50:51,360 --> 01:50:53,840
Speaker 1: I'm just trying to like throw out what Dan Quinn

1792
01:50:53,880 --> 01:50:55,600
Speaker 1: would say if he were sitting here as your co

1793
01:50:55,680 --> 01:50:58,519
Speaker 1: host tonight, he'd be like, twice we didn't go for

1794
01:50:58,560 --> 01:51:02,240
Speaker 1: the field goal and we got the touchdown, and then

1795
01:51:02,280 --> 01:51:06,760
Speaker 1: twice we gave the ball to the other team. Ooh,

1796
01:51:08,760 --> 01:51:11,519
Speaker 1: surprised there wasn't a penalty on that play. That's the

1797
01:51:11,560 --> 01:51:13,600
Speaker 1: first time I've seen a quarterback get thrown by the

1798
01:51:13,720 --> 01:51:19,080
Speaker 1: head out of bounds and there's not a penalty. No,

1799
01:51:19,200 --> 01:51:21,800
Speaker 1: I know, it just looked like that. No, it was legal.

1800
01:51:21,880 --> 01:51:24,840
Speaker 1: I'm glad they didn't call anything. All right. Hey, the

1801
01:51:24,960 --> 01:51:28,400
Speaker 1: AFC playoffs are all set, and there's two big things,

1802
01:51:29,560 --> 01:51:32,599
Speaker 1: one in each game that we need to talk about,

1803
01:51:32,640 --> 01:51:34,680
Speaker 1: and we'll do that coming up next with e from

1804
01:51:34,720 --> 01:51:40,000
Speaker 1: Salam Mark Willard and it's Fox Sports Radio. My goodness,

1812
01:52:02,080 --> 01:52:04,120
Speaker 1: we get off the air, which is coming up in

1813
01:52:04,200 --> 01:52:08,920
Speaker 1: just about ten minutes or so. I bet Washington would

1814
01:52:08,920 --> 01:52:12,280
Speaker 1: have gone forward on fourth down, mayor I mean they

1815
01:52:12,400 --> 01:52:14,280
Speaker 1: had second in inches, third.

1816
01:52:14,080 --> 01:52:15,599
Speaker 2: And inches like doll.

1817
01:52:17,520 --> 01:52:21,320
Speaker 1: Who they botched that thing sideways. But then they took

1818
01:52:21,360 --> 01:52:23,280
Speaker 1: their medicine and kicked the field goal and we got

1819
01:52:23,320 --> 01:52:28,639
Speaker 1: a tie game again, twenty to twenty. So here we go, Jayden,

1820
01:52:28,920 --> 01:52:29,720
Speaker 1: four minutes to go.

1821
01:52:30,840 --> 01:52:32,799
Speaker 2: This is how you operate yourself.

1822
01:52:33,160 --> 01:52:35,120
Speaker 1: Let's see it. This is what this is.

1823
01:52:35,240 --> 01:52:38,920
Speaker 2: And look, very few rookies get an opportunity to do

1824
01:52:39,080 --> 01:52:43,000
Speaker 2: this their very first year. Sure to jump up levels

1825
01:52:43,160 --> 01:52:48,240
Speaker 2: in terms of lure. Right, C. J. Stroud did it

1826
01:52:48,600 --> 01:52:52,200
Speaker 2: last year? Right, you win a playoff? It wasn't this

1827
01:52:52,800 --> 01:53:02,720
Speaker 2: exact scenario. This is on the road, hostile environment, the

1828
01:53:02,800 --> 01:53:06,439
Speaker 2: balls in your court. Whatever you do or don't do

1829
01:53:07,000 --> 01:53:08,720
Speaker 2: will determine the outcome of this game.

1830
01:53:11,120 --> 01:53:11,439
Speaker 1: Here we go.

1831
01:53:11,680 --> 01:53:14,840
Speaker 2: The great ones love it. They want these the sooner

1832
01:53:14,880 --> 01:53:22,600
Speaker 2: the better, sooner the better. And so this is what

1833
01:53:22,720 --> 01:53:26,640
Speaker 2: it's all about. This is how you make everybody in

1834
01:53:26,800 --> 01:53:32,320
Speaker 2: the building look smart by drafting you. This is how

1835
01:53:32,400 --> 01:53:42,080
Speaker 2: you make everybody in Chicago scratch their head. This is

1836
01:53:42,160 --> 01:53:42,840
Speaker 2: what it's about.

1837
01:53:43,360 --> 01:53:46,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, man, yeah yeah. This is a difficult one to

1838
01:53:46,760 --> 01:53:49,519
Speaker 1: watch for them for sure. So here we go. Keep

1839
01:53:49,560 --> 01:53:51,559
Speaker 1: you updated for the portion of it that we've got

1840
01:53:51,640 --> 01:53:54,400
Speaker 1: right here. I do want to ask you one question

1841
01:53:54,560 --> 01:53:57,599
Speaker 1: each on the two AFC games that are already in place.

1842
01:53:57,720 --> 01:53:59,840
Speaker 1: We don't know what day they'll be played next weekend,

1843
01:54:00,200 --> 01:54:02,599
Speaker 1: just know that they'll be played. You've talked a lot

1844
01:54:02,640 --> 01:54:06,360
Speaker 1: about the emotional side of the game. The Houston Texans.

1845
01:54:06,400 --> 01:54:09,160
Speaker 1: The last time they went to Kansas City, CJ. Stroud

1846
01:54:09,240 --> 01:54:12,479
Speaker 1: spent about ten minutes crying in the end zone because

1847
01:54:12,560 --> 01:54:16,400
Speaker 1: it was the spot where Tank Dell suffered yet another

1848
01:54:17,080 --> 01:54:22,479
Speaker 1: horrific injury. How does that weigh on this game that's

1849
01:54:22,520 --> 01:54:23,519
Speaker 1: coming up next weekend?

1850
01:54:23,600 --> 01:54:30,559
Speaker 2: Now that's turned to momentum, that's turned to fuel. It's

1851
01:54:30,600 --> 01:54:32,960
Speaker 2: hard to emotionally at the time come back from that.

1852
01:54:33,520 --> 01:54:37,600
Speaker 2: But now that's come that, that's turned into oh, we're

1853
01:54:37,640 --> 01:54:41,800
Speaker 2: doing this one for Tank. Oh now you can feed

1854
01:54:41,880 --> 01:54:45,320
Speaker 2: all day. You can use that, you can use that?

1855
01:54:45,680 --> 01:54:49,200
Speaker 2: Is that is the right level of fuel unique going

1856
01:54:49,280 --> 01:54:51,800
Speaker 2: into this this divisional round of the playoffs.

1857
01:54:53,960 --> 01:54:58,160
Speaker 1: It's also a very very similar situation for the Houston

1858
01:54:58,240 --> 01:55:03,680
Speaker 1: Texans who were able to pull off a home playoff

1859
01:55:03,760 --> 01:55:05,960
Speaker 1: first round win last year and then had to head

1860
01:55:05,960 --> 01:55:08,400
Speaker 1: on the road to the one seed. At the time,

1861
01:55:08,480 --> 01:55:11,560
Speaker 1: it was the Baltimore Ravens. They held up for about

1862
01:55:11,560 --> 01:55:15,600
Speaker 1: a half and then they were overwhelmed. So now it's

1863
01:55:15,680 --> 01:55:17,600
Speaker 1: the same thing. It just happens to be the Chiefs

1864
01:55:17,680 --> 01:55:20,440
Speaker 1: instead of the Ravens. I don't know, man, what kind

1865
01:55:20,480 --> 01:55:21,400
Speaker 1: of a chance do you give them?

1866
01:55:21,440 --> 01:55:23,160
Speaker 2: I give him a chance, I give them a chance

1867
01:55:23,280 --> 01:55:26,520
Speaker 2: because although the Kansas City Chiefs are the Kansas City

1868
01:55:26,640 --> 01:55:30,600
Speaker 2: Chiefs and they'll always be in every game, they haven't

1869
01:55:32,080 --> 01:55:35,360
Speaker 2: blown us away this year offensively, No.

1870
01:55:35,440 --> 01:55:35,920
Speaker 1: They haven't.

1871
01:55:36,280 --> 01:55:39,400
Speaker 2: And they've been in some very precarious games in the

1872
01:55:39,480 --> 01:55:43,840
Speaker 2: fourth quarter where the ball literally quite literally had to

1873
01:55:43,920 --> 01:55:50,440
Speaker 2: bounce their way. So anything can happen, and that's got

1874
01:55:50,560 --> 01:55:52,840
Speaker 2: to be the mindset going into this.

1875
01:55:53,520 --> 01:55:53,640
Speaker 1: Now.

1876
01:55:53,640 --> 01:55:55,800
Speaker 2: I tell you what Washington can't do is they can't

1877
01:55:55,960 --> 01:55:58,560
Speaker 2: not get a first down, right.

1878
01:55:58,680 --> 01:55:59,280
Speaker 1: You have to.

1879
01:56:00,680 --> 01:56:04,680
Speaker 2: You need about three first downs, right, because if you're

1880
01:56:04,720 --> 01:56:07,240
Speaker 2: not going to score any points, you can't give the

1881
01:56:07,280 --> 01:56:08,840
Speaker 2: ball back to Baker Mayfield.

1882
01:56:08,960 --> 01:56:11,640
Speaker 1: Three first downs. It probably put them in a pretty

1883
01:56:11,720 --> 01:56:13,640
Speaker 1: darn close to field goal range. But I hear what

1884
01:56:13,720 --> 01:56:20,160
Speaker 1: you're saying it anyway, So it doesn't matter. It doesn't

1885
01:56:20,200 --> 01:56:22,040
Speaker 1: matter they go for it on fifth down. If they've

1886
01:56:22,040 --> 01:56:25,640
Speaker 1: given to them, who's the Who's the MVP of the

1887
01:56:25,680 --> 01:56:26,560
Speaker 1: league in your mind?

1888
01:56:31,880 --> 01:56:41,600
Speaker 2: Man? I really like it's a it's a very long

1889
01:56:42,040 --> 01:56:44,360
Speaker 2: long pause because there's a there's a lot of things.

1890
01:56:44,880 --> 01:56:46,680
Speaker 2: Whoever wins the game next week.

1891
01:56:48,200 --> 01:56:51,000
Speaker 1: Well, it'd be fun if they made it that way.

1892
01:56:51,000 --> 01:56:53,520
Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, But that's that's where I am at it.

1893
01:56:53,720 --> 01:56:54,640
Speaker 2: That's where that's where I am.

1894
01:56:55,480 --> 01:56:55,680
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1895
01:56:55,800 --> 01:56:57,880
Speaker 2: So whoever comes out of that and goes into the

1896
01:56:58,000 --> 01:57:01,240
Speaker 2: AFC Championship game, that that'll be my MVP.

1897
01:57:03,840 --> 01:57:05,520
Speaker 1: Did they vote though they already vote.

1898
01:57:05,560 --> 01:57:07,680
Speaker 2: I'm sure the voters already vote. I'm sure they have.

1899
01:57:07,960 --> 01:57:09,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, they can't take that into.

1900
01:57:09,360 --> 01:57:11,640
Speaker 2: No I'm talking. You'd ask me. I'm not them, I know.

1901
01:57:12,320 --> 01:57:13,760
Speaker 1: But just what if you had to vote that you

1902
01:57:13,840 --> 01:57:15,040
Speaker 1: had to do and it was due today.

1903
01:57:15,880 --> 01:57:20,000
Speaker 2: If the vote was due today, I would have probably

1904
01:57:20,160 --> 01:57:26,760
Speaker 2: given it to Josh Allen. He he's done more with less,

1905
01:57:28,400 --> 01:57:33,720
Speaker 2: more with less. Okay, he's done more with less. So

1906
01:57:34,040 --> 01:57:35,480
Speaker 2: I mean he doesn't have a Derrick Henry to hand

1907
01:57:35,520 --> 01:57:37,720
Speaker 2: the ball off. He didn't have to say flowers. He

1908
01:57:37,800 --> 01:57:40,560
Speaker 2: didn't have Mark Andrews like he you know.

1909
01:57:41,120 --> 01:57:43,480
Speaker 1: I mean he's got a James Cook and a Dalton

1910
01:57:43,600 --> 01:57:45,520
Speaker 1: Concaide and uh yeah, you.

1911
01:57:45,560 --> 01:57:50,440
Speaker 2: Know, Okay here those names didn't even sound right because

1912
01:57:50,720 --> 01:57:52,280
Speaker 2: it didn't talk about Dirrick Henry Man.

1913
01:57:52,840 --> 01:57:56,040
Speaker 1: I know, James Cook, I mean he got a hell

1914
01:57:56,120 --> 01:57:56,480
Speaker 1: of a year.

1915
01:57:56,640 --> 01:57:58,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, one I'm going to the Hall of Fame. The

1916
01:57:58,560 --> 01:58:01,400
Speaker 2: other one may or may not even right. That's what

1917
01:58:01,520 --> 01:58:03,720
Speaker 2: I'm talking about. The other ones and like it said,

1918
01:58:03,760 --> 01:58:07,040
Speaker 2: mark and go into the Hall of Fame. Okay, right,

1919
01:58:07,240 --> 01:58:10,800
Speaker 2: okay there, so there's three offensive Hall of Famers on

1920
01:58:11,040 --> 01:58:11,520
Speaker 2: that team.

1921
01:58:11,960 --> 01:58:14,680
Speaker 1: But is it overwhelmed by the fact that, like if

1922
01:58:14,720 --> 01:58:17,480
Speaker 1: you do if if you want to go by the numbers,

1923
01:58:18,080 --> 01:58:18,920
Speaker 1: Lamar's got.

1924
01:58:18,840 --> 01:58:21,000
Speaker 2: It by far. Yeah, but he didn't have the best

1925
01:58:21,520 --> 01:58:23,840
Speaker 2: last year and he won the m v P. Yeah,

1926
01:58:24,320 --> 01:58:27,840
Speaker 2: I guess that that argument. You can't use that argument.

1927
01:58:27,600 --> 01:58:30,120
Speaker 1: If well, you had better numbers than him last year,

1928
01:58:30,720 --> 01:58:35,880
Speaker 1: I mean quarter better numbers, quarterback numbers. Oh yeah, yeah yeah,

1929
01:58:38,000 --> 01:58:41,280
Speaker 1: who was like head and shoulders ahead of Lamar last year?

1930
01:58:42,120 --> 01:58:50,320
Speaker 1: Hold on, hold please, that's all I'm saying. Hold please,

1931
01:58:52,120 --> 01:58:57,960
Speaker 1: if I'm looking at I mean, unless you want to

1932
01:58:57,960 --> 01:59:03,440
Speaker 1: say Dak Prescott. Dak Prescott had a better rating than Lamar,

1933
01:59:04,440 --> 01:59:08,120
Speaker 1: a lot more touchdowns than Lamar, He had more interceptions

1934
01:59:08,160 --> 01:59:10,560
Speaker 1: than Lamar, had a lot more yards than Lamar.

1935
01:59:11,040 --> 01:59:12,960
Speaker 2: Who else had more yards than Lamar?

1936
01:59:14,080 --> 01:59:15,680
Speaker 1: Well, a lot of people had a lot more yards

1937
01:59:15,720 --> 01:59:18,640
Speaker 1: than Tua and Rock Party, c J. Stroud, They all

1938
01:59:18,720 --> 01:59:19,080
Speaker 1: had more.

1939
01:59:20,880 --> 01:59:25,320
Speaker 2: So you know, the right of numbers, you know, outside

1940
01:59:25,320 --> 01:59:27,960
Speaker 2: of that one game, which Brock Party was going to

1941
01:59:28,000 --> 01:59:30,320
Speaker 2: be the MVP except that one game did it right.

1942
01:59:30,440 --> 01:59:32,040
Speaker 1: That's also just passing yards.

1943
01:59:32,400 --> 01:59:34,760
Speaker 2: But what I'm saying is that one game did it.

1944
01:59:34,840 --> 01:59:37,960
Speaker 2: If brock Party comes out there, that game, brock Party's

1945
01:59:38,000 --> 01:59:39,080
Speaker 2: the MVP. That's all I'm saying.

1946
01:59:39,440 --> 01:59:41,720
Speaker 1: Very very possible, all right, that game maywell be in

1947
01:59:41,760 --> 01:59:44,160
Speaker 1: the middle of our show next week, so I can't

1948
01:59:44,200 --> 01:59:48,560
Speaker 1: wait for he from Salama, Mark Willard. Everybody, have a

1949
01:59:48,600 --> 01:59:48,960
Speaker 1: good night.
