00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:48,319
The Bushley Bolt. As you said, not only did they win,

51
00:02:49,159 --> 00:02:51,879
they bettered their playoff seeding and now they're gonna be

52
00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:53,639
playing the Houston Texans.

53
00:02:54,599 --> 00:02:56,439
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a good first round matches.

the games on Friday. We got stuff on Thursday. Saturday,

56
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:07,599
I'm going to fly home. I think this is a plan.

57
00:03:08,199 --> 00:03:11,159
Grab Jackson and then we're going to boogie over to Houston.

58
00:03:11,319 --> 00:03:14,960
Oh nice to go watch the Bush League Bolts. Working

59
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:18,199
on getting him on the you know, to meet some

60
00:03:18,199 --> 00:03:20,840
some Bolt players, some of his favorites there. So we

61
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:23,159
the fly if we don't have the time to drive,

62
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:25,840
but we will be in the number. The Bolt's playing

63
00:03:25,879 --> 00:03:28,560
a playoff game this close, we have to go, have to.

64
00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:32,400
So it's gonna be a crazy kind of Thursday through Sunday.

65
00:03:32,439 --> 00:03:34,719
Speaker 3: But you know what, it's a good kind of crazy. Yeah,

66
00:03:34,759 --> 00:03:35,759
it's gonna be though.

67
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:39,879
Speaker 2: Yeah, those those memories are the ones then never go away.

68
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:44,560
I remember driving to Birmingham with my old man to

69
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:48,039
watch the US men's team play Guatemala back in the day,

70
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:50,560
even though I had five am runs the next day

71
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:52,360
and we get back and I don't know, like two

72
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:55,400
am or something, but it was again, those are the memories.

73
00:03:54,919 --> 00:03:57,639
Speaker 3: They win, Yes they did. Yeah, take that, Mario, Yeah

74
00:03:57,639 --> 00:03:59,599
they did win. It was it was it was really cool.

75
00:03:59,639 --> 00:04:01,840
Speaker 2: It was really we'll see them landing Donovan and everybody

76
00:04:01,879 --> 00:04:05,520
live fantastic. But again, it was more about being with

77
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:07,719
my dad and going out of your way to go

78
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:12,280

79
00:04:12,319 --> 00:04:14,080
on the field before an NFL playoff game is going

80
00:04:14,159 --> 00:04:16,879
to ratchet that up even more. Uh A, Landra, A

81

Speaker 5: Yeah, great weekend.

84
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:23,000
Speaker 3: I'm not really sure why.

85
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:24,439
Speaker 5: It's a big day for me, but.

86
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:28,720
Speaker 3: Oh, I don't know. You said it like she had

87
00:04:28,759 --> 00:04:31,279
something like on the horizon like January sixth.

88
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:42,079
Speaker 2: I mean no, just kidding, yes, Kitty. Uh hey, how's

90
00:04:42,959 --> 00:04:44,319
Speaker 3: So it was pretty chill when I talk to you

91
00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:45,600
this morning. Yeah, I just did.

92
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:49,959
Speaker 5: The men's basketball game. Had some serious Sunday scaries yesterday

93
00:04:50,399 --> 00:04:51,800
just because it was like the first.

94
00:04:51,519 --> 00:04:52,279
Speaker 3: Full week back.

95
00:04:52,439 --> 00:04:55,480
Speaker 2: Well, as we said, yeah, this is the Monday of

96
00:04:55,519 --> 00:04:55,959
the year.

97
00:04:56,199 --> 00:04:58,120
Speaker 3: Yes, so we are we are in you know.

98
00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:01,879
Speaker 2: People say it's turtles all the way down reality today,

99
00:05:02,079 --> 00:05:04,000
it's Mondays all the way down.

100
00:05:04,079 --> 00:05:06,120
Speaker 5: I've actually never heard that saying before.

101
00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:09,920
Speaker 4: So the Turtles does it feel like that for you though,

102
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:13,040
because we've been working like we hadn't really Uh.

103
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:15,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, it still does though, because like there's just you know,

104
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:17,360
it's a new year, so new.

105
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:19,480
Speaker 4: Plan today, like the first day of the new year

106
00:05:19,519 --> 00:05:21,920
for you without a doubt, Okay, without a doubt because

107
00:05:21,959 --> 00:05:22,560
you know we've.

108
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:26,240
Speaker 3: So your drive starts today. Well, no, I'm I'm actually

109
00:05:26,319 --> 00:05:27,839
in the midst of dry January right now.

110
00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:36,519
Speaker 2: I did January from about Saturday at eleven till Sunday

111
00:05:36,519 --> 00:05:38,959
at about ten thirty when I found myself at Superior

112
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:39,759
get in Margarita.

113
00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:41,160
Speaker 3: So so you did it while you're sleeping.

114
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:44,079
Speaker 2: So then I got back on dry January last night

115
00:05:44,879 --> 00:05:47,680
after I had a nice whiskey watching Gladiator two. So

116
00:05:47,879 --> 00:05:50,079
what did you think, drid January picked in about eleven

117
00:05:50,079 --> 00:05:52,680
again or no? No, probably about nine? Sorry nine again? Last

118
00:05:52,759 --> 00:05:55,839
night the Gladiator two five.

119
00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:56,079
Speaker 3: Out of ten.

120
00:05:56,560 --> 00:06:01,959
Speaker 2: Yeah, uh so strength visual except for the CGI animals.

121
00:06:02,519 --> 00:06:05,920
Freaking loathe CGI animals except the guy writing the rhinos

122
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:13,160
kind of tights, So a rhinos hide and anybody's like

123
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:15,800
a digital artist. Feel free to tell me I'm an idiot,

124
00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:21,279
but as I understand it, kind of harder carapisses hides

125
00:06:21,439 --> 00:06:24,439
like a rhino's kind of shield, almost like leathery skin

126
00:06:24,879 --> 00:06:28,079
is easier to make realistic than like flesh and hair,

127
00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:30,639
because that's like in District nine back in the day

128
00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:33,000
movies whose special effects STI hold up very well.

129
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:36,439
Speaker 3: That's why they made the bugs. What is it chittnus?

130
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:38,240
Speaker 2: Is that the word where they have like the hard

131
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:41,759
like like bug bodies. That's why they made them that

132
00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:45,759
way is because it looked more realistic. So again visually

133
00:06:45,879 --> 00:06:49,000
except the cege animals. Uh yeah, water steam was tight.

134
00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:49,759
Speaker 3: Oh it's awesome.

135
00:06:50,199 --> 00:06:53,079
Speaker 2: That's cool as cool as hell's visually awesome. I'm big

136
00:06:53,079 --> 00:06:55,360
favor of Roman history, so anytime somebody pours a ton

137
00:06:55,399 --> 00:06:58,439
of money into recreating Rome, I'm always gonna meaning that

138
00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:03,720
costume design a plus miscast story just an absolute mess.

139
00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:07,160
Speaker 3: Yeah. In miscast, I think on the main character at

140
00:07:07,399 --> 00:07:09,920
all of it, he didn't seem so I felt.

141
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:15,360
Speaker 2: I don't know where to parse between where's the bad

142
00:07:15,399 --> 00:07:19,680
writing start and the acting that's not landing begin? Because

143
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:22,920
to me, the plot like the backbone of the movie

144
00:07:23,399 --> 00:07:24,759
was just a scattered mess.

145
00:07:25,279 --> 00:07:26,399
Speaker 3: It was all over the place.

146
00:07:26,439 --> 00:07:29,319
Speaker 2: They got way too grandiose in their scope, Like there's

147
00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:32,079
a million stories you could have told about a gladiator

148
00:07:32,319 --> 00:07:36,199
doing something, and they went like big big, I don't know, Yeah,

149
00:07:36,399 --> 00:07:37,920
the plot, everything was an absolute mess.

150
00:07:37,959 --> 00:07:40,399
Speaker 3: So five out of ten probably we'll never watch again.

151
00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:44,319
Speaker 5: Yeah, but Demzel was too much like Denzel see.

152
00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:44,800
Speaker 3: I would have been.

153
00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:49,959
Speaker 2: I actually liked how Denzel played that character.

154
00:07:50,319 --> 00:07:54,720
Speaker 3: I just I didn't give me, give me some accent,

155
00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:59,720
no accent at all. I don't, I don't, I don't.

156
00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:01,959
Speaker 2: I don't mind the accent thing as much because at

157
00:08:01,959 --> 00:08:03,560
the end of the day, you have a bunch of

158
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:04,879
people doing English accents.

159
00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:06,519
Speaker 3: Yeah, for a bunch of I.

160
00:08:06,439 --> 00:08:11,439
Speaker 2: Feel like it's yeah, yeah, yeah, it always becomes English accents.

161
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:14,279
Speaker 5: No always and Greek I feel like, but like, I

162
00:08:14,319 --> 00:08:17,040
feel like the story was there, like it was there

163
00:08:17,199 --> 00:08:20,000
you Like, you had the Evil Twins, you had the

164
00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:23,199
sun coming back from vas and its just like it didn't.

165
00:08:23,759 --> 00:08:25,000
I don't know, it just didn't.

166
00:08:25,079 --> 00:08:28,240
Speaker 2: Like you had cool character, like the first Gladiator was

167
00:08:28,279 --> 00:08:32,320
about Maximus. Yeah, this movie was hardly about the main character.

168
00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:34,320
But I guess that's what happened when you kind of

169
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:35,519
cast like a no name guy and then you have

170
00:08:35,519 --> 00:08:36,639
to Deel. You're like, well we got to give then

171
00:08:36,639 --> 00:08:37,759
delbut screens TI, We're gonna do this.

172
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:38,759
Speaker 3: So I just thought.

173
00:08:38,919 --> 00:08:41,919
Speaker 2: I thought the story again, two Grandiose lacked a bit

174
00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:42,600
of focus.

175
00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:44,159
Speaker 3: It was a bit just then.

176
00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:46,960
Speaker 4: Also, when you're comparing it against the first one, well, yeah,

177
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:47,919
I mean that's gonna happen.

178
00:08:47,919 --> 00:08:49,320
Speaker 3: It's one of the greatest movies all time.

179
00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:54,320
Speaker 2: Also, we've been desensitized to violence when you first Maybe

180
00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:55,960
it's because I was a kid, but when I first

181
00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:59,720
saw Gladiator, those special effects during the fight scenes were

182
00:08:59,759 --> 00:09:03,039
truely shocking. I had never seen anything like it before.

183
00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:05,879
Now I've seen Game of Thrones where the mountain literally

184
00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:10,679
squeezes Pedro Pascal's head into jelly. So it's like, what

185
00:09:10,799 --> 00:09:13,600
getting you know, like it's spoiler alert. It just doesn't

186
00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:18,440
hit that's on you. Yeah, that's true. Also Pedro Pescal again,

187
00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:20,200
a lot of good actors.

188
00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:20,960
Speaker 3: In it was due.

189
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:24,879
Speaker 2: Yeah, it just didn't didn't necessarily anyway, Uh, te, how's

190
00:09:24,919 --> 00:09:25,639
your weekend?

191
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:26,639
Speaker 6: It was great.

192
00:09:26,919 --> 00:09:28,919
Speaker 7: If you guys can see on the desk right there

193
00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:31,200
in front of those two football helmets, we now have

194
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:35,080
an official Betony Zidaco puck. Oh, I was at the

195
00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:37,159
game Friday. It's the whole family, and one of our

196
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:39,480
listeners gave it to me. So, uh, really we got

197
00:09:39,519 --> 00:09:40,559
the official would.

198
00:09:40,399 --> 00:09:41,039
Speaker 2: You like it?

199
00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:42,080
Speaker 3: Brad this Idaco guy?

200
00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:43,519
Speaker 6: It was Brad the Zidaco guy.

201
00:09:44,639 --> 00:09:46,080
Speaker 2: For those that don't know, we have somebody in the

202
00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:48,240
YouTube chat every day, Brad this Idaco guy. It was

203
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:50,919
Brad straight up letting you know, well, that makes me

204
00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:53,480
very happy that he now is physically represented.

205
00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:55,600
Speaker 7: Yeah, so we got the Uh, it's like an official

206
00:09:55,639 --> 00:09:57,639
punk too. It looks like it was used to like

207
00:09:57,720 --> 00:09:59,759
in the game. So see, pretty cool.

208
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:03,440
Speaker 2: We give a puck about the Zydi coodhere doo. You

209
00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:05,960
just know you're starting to do your pretty well over

210
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:06,320
there too.

211
00:10:08,039 --> 00:10:10,600
Speaker 3: Uh okay, well that sounds like a lot of fun, man.

212
00:10:11,039 --> 00:10:12,080
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's a good time.

213
00:10:12,919 --> 00:10:15,840
Speaker 2: You know what was a good time for one half,

214
00:10:16,519 --> 00:10:17,960
even though I guess it was never really a bad

215
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:20,639
time because again it's a bit of a silver lining

216
00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:24,120
game for the Saints yesterday, but the Saints looked very

217
00:10:24,159 --> 00:10:27,559
good to open up the Buccaneers game yesterday. And as

218
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:30,320
we get this discussion started, let's go and get the

219
00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:31,360
show started.

220
00:10:32,279 --> 00:10:35,120
Speaker 1: It's time to get to work courtesy of Tiger Labor

221
00:10:35,159 --> 00:10:38,320
and Staffing where they can help take care of screening, training,

222
00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:42,279
payroll and more. Now for starters, it's right.

223
00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:47,200
Speaker 2: Tiger Labor and Staffing are your local staffing solution experts.

224
00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:51,559
They're reliable and if you need warehouse, construction or manufactured positions,

225
00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:54,120
this can be temporary or long term. We've got you

226
00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:58,000
covered with skilled, dependable workers. And remember we're not just

227
00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:02,200
forwarding resumes to you, but interviewing and dispatching in person.

228
00:11:02,039 --> 00:11:06,600
Speaker 3: Every morning at five am. So Saints Bucks yesterday.

229
00:11:06,879 --> 00:11:11,600
Speaker 2: Saints come out and really control the game the entirety

230
00:11:11,639 --> 00:11:14,799
of the first half. You could tell they were giving

231
00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:19,440
the Tampa fans the hebgb's event. The announcers kept talking

232
00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:22,039
about it in the booth, but you could feel the

233
00:11:22,159 --> 00:11:25,799
tension building as the Bucks know the entire season comes

234
00:11:25,799 --> 00:11:27,919
down to this win and you win the division and

235
00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:28,360
you're in.

236
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:30,080
Speaker 3: Lose in, you're out.

237
00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:32,279
Speaker 2: And for much of the first half, Baker Mayfield and

238
00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:35,600
that offense could not see the fields. The Saints put

239
00:11:35,639 --> 00:11:41,279
together extended drive after extended drive. Unfortunately, as is generally

240
00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:45,320
the case in the NFL, the better team ended up

241
00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:49,000
taking over the game. By games end, whatever the offense

242
00:11:49,039 --> 00:11:52,039
had in the first half completely disappeared in the second,

243
00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:56,879
and Baker Mayfield, who is a gamer, found a way

244
00:11:57,039 --> 00:11:58,279
once again to win.

245
00:11:58,480 --> 00:11:59,759
Speaker 3: So the Bucks win.

246
00:11:59,879 --> 00:12:03,080
Speaker 2: My Evan Sin's a pretty impressive record, and the Saint

247
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:06,720
season comes to a merciful end. I mean, honestly, you know,

248
00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:12,679
it's probably the happiest you will ever be at after

249
00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:15,799
a loss, especially a loss to Arrival, because it kept

250
00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:19,879
the Falcons out of the playoff, and it didn't a

251
00:12:19,919 --> 00:12:22,840
win just would have hurt draft stock unfortunately at the

252
00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:26,320
end of the day. So the result maybe not as

253
00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:29,120
interesting as what comes next. And maybe, like what you

254
00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:32,919
think about Spencer Rattler, So I.

255
00:12:32,879 --> 00:12:35,919
Speaker 4: Wonder like watching this game, and Spencer Ratler did a

256
00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:38,120
nice job of getting the tight ends involved. He got

257
00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:41,080
the running backs involved in the past game, and you know,

258
00:12:41,159 --> 00:12:43,799
Juwan Johnson Faalster had some big plays in the game,

259
00:12:43,919 --> 00:12:47,559
and you just you wonder if he had NFL receivers

260
00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:50,279
like what he could have done. And I'm not trying

261
00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:53,440
to be disrespectful to the guys there, but it's it's

262
00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:55,840
guys off the street, that's what it. I mean, literally,

263
00:12:55,879 --> 00:12:57,879
like there's players that hadn't played in the NFL since

264
00:12:57,919 --> 00:13:00,679
twenty twenty two, that are out there running around and look,

265
00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:02,240
they made a couple of plays here and there. But

266
00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:05,600
I wonder what Spencer Rattler would have been like if

267
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:08,639
he had Chris Olive, if he had Rashichi head in

268
00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:12,519
this game, because as the games continue to go for him,

269
00:13:12,799 --> 00:13:15,799
he did start to understand, Okay, if it's not there,

270
00:13:16,279 --> 00:13:19,480
hit your checkdown. If it's not there, find the intermediate stuff.

271
00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:21,960
And it's gonna be tough to kind of grade him

272
00:13:22,039 --> 00:13:24,639
this season, in his rookie year, and certainly now that

273
00:13:24,759 --> 00:13:28,039
all these rookies across the NFL Bo Nicks and Jade

274
00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:30,960
Daniels and Michael Pennock Junior are just lighting it up,

275
00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:33,639
and so you're going to compare Spencer Ratler to that

276
00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:35,679
even though he was a fifth round pick. Those guys

277
00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:40,120
are top ten, top twelve picks. But there's something there.

278
00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:42,080
But see, I wonder if it's going to be enough,

279
00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:43,799
how are they going to grade him? How are they

280
00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:47,679
going to view his progress knowing he's throwing to a

281
00:13:47,799 --> 00:13:50,960
Cedric Wilson junior, a Dante Pettis, a Kevin Austin junior,

282
00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:53,279
Like how is that going to be graded and what

283
00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:56,120
do they think of him inside that building? Because right

284
00:13:56,159 --> 00:13:58,559
now as you sit, you're in the top ten.

285
00:13:59,159 --> 00:14:01,559
Speaker 3: What is this quarter of a quarterback class look like?

286
00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:03,440
Speaker 4: And are you going to be able to get a

287
00:14:03,519 --> 00:14:06,080
quarterback at nine that you think can be the future

288
00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:08,519
of your team because of where you're at in the

289
00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:11,000
cap you still have Derek Carr's contract. I don't know

290
00:14:11,039 --> 00:14:13,440
that you can do anything else outside of drafting your

291
00:14:13,519 --> 00:14:15,519
quarterback if you want a new quarterback.

292
00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:16,639
Speaker 3: Not a.

293
00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:22,159
Speaker 2: Not a great year for quarterbacks, or at least it

294
00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:24,480
doesn't feel that way. You feel like it looking at it,

295
00:14:24,519 --> 00:14:27,440
and you never know with quarterbacks, right That's kind of

296
00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:31,480
the triggery part about the draft is that guys that

297
00:14:31,519 --> 00:14:34,279
are for sure hits go busting. I mean, okay, you

298
00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:37,759
know who. I keep thinking of Bryce Young. How in

299
00:14:37,799 --> 00:14:41,799
the world are you supposed to evaluate quarterbacks when Bryce

300
00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:45,519
Young exists? Because of course he was put into awful

301
00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:48,720
situations at first, and then helping him made him look awful,

302
00:14:48,879 --> 00:14:51,559
but then he was benched earlier this year for Andy

303
00:14:51,639 --> 00:14:54,960
Dalton looked truly awful. Remember the first Saints Panthers game.

304
00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:57,559
He did not look like he could play in this league.

305
00:14:58,159 --> 00:15:00,200
Well yesterday, I think he is the highest EPA per

306
00:15:00,279 --> 00:15:03,279
dropback of any quarterback in the NFL. Like, the Panthers

307
00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:06,039
got consistently better as the weeks went on. After he

308
00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:07,519
got done with being binge and he got back into

309
00:15:07,559 --> 00:15:10,159
starting lineup, Bryce Young started to dominate. So I don't

310
00:15:10,159 --> 00:15:12,519
know who's gonna be good. I have no idea how

311
00:15:12,559 --> 00:15:14,919
to evaluate. Sometimes you think you're awful and then you

312
00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:18,440
get good. Look at Sam Darnold, what's going on there?

313
00:15:18,639 --> 00:15:21,480
Speaker 4: Like, I so, you're right, I mean in a winner

314
00:15:21,559 --> 00:15:24,840
take on, like if they lose this game, you know,

315
00:15:24,919 --> 00:15:26,519
and the Falcons are going to playoffs, and so like,

316
00:15:26,559 --> 00:15:28,759
the Falcons had to win this game. So they were

317
00:15:28,759 --> 00:15:31,960
giving Bryce Young every single thing that he could handle,

318
00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:34,120
and he puts up forty four points. Yeah those were

319
00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:37,159
two fifty one and three touchdowns, no turnovers, and so yeah,

320
00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:38,440
to your point, that.

321
00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:41,519
Speaker 3: Is somebody we all like. There's memes, there's jokes, there's everything.

322
00:15:41,559 --> 00:15:43,679
It's like, well, actually, he's pretty damn good. I know.

323
00:15:43,799 --> 00:15:46,360
I mean, the little kid, he's so tiny out there.

324
00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:47,480
Now he's kicking ass.

325
00:15:48,039 --> 00:15:50,799
Speaker 2: So because when I look at Rattler's play yesterday, you

326
00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:53,879
see the potential. There were some mind blowing accurate throws

327
00:15:53,919 --> 00:15:56,759
in there, but then there were also some very frustrating

328
00:15:57,159 --> 00:16:00,600
easy throws missed that ended up cost you a bit.

329
00:16:00,799 --> 00:16:03,799
So I mean, you know what, honestly I thought, I

330
00:16:03,799 --> 00:16:06,960
thought the best throw of the day was the second

331
00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:10,440
MVS touchdown that didn't count, where NVS only got one

332
00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:13,679
foot inbounds. But the window that he put it in

333
00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:20,000
is true, true NFL, you know, six inch target.

334
00:16:19,679 --> 00:16:22,519
Speaker 3: Type of situation. So what do you do next year?

335
00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:26,279
Speaker 2: Do you cut Derek Carr, eat the cap, hit, ride

336
00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:28,519
Rattler for a year and just see what happens. I mean,

337
00:16:28,559 --> 00:16:31,960
it's definitely a recipe for a bad year, but you're

338
00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:35,039
gonna have a bad year anyway in all likelihood, unless

339
00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:37,039
unless you get some sort of miracle turn around, which

340
00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:41,279
they don't know how that would take place. Has Rattler

341
00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:43,559
done enough where you try to give him a young

342
00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:45,639
like year, new coach and see if he can figure

343
00:16:45,639 --> 00:16:49,039
out what he could maybe do, Or is Derek Carr

344
00:16:49,039 --> 00:16:50,200
gonna be your quarterback again?

345
00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:56,200
Speaker 4: I think whoever you yeah, whoever you hide, I think

346
00:16:56,240 --> 00:16:58,960
we all, I think most of us believe unless it's

347
00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:02,039
Aaron Glenn, it's going to be an offensive minded head coach.

348
00:17:02,759 --> 00:17:06,119
Speaker 3: So if it is, he gets the choice, do you

349
00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:08,799
want to roll out there? Car? Do you want Spencer Rattler?

350
00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:10,440
Or should we draft a quarterback?

351
00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:13,319
Speaker 4: And no, if we draft a quarterback, you're gonna be

352
00:17:13,319 --> 00:17:15,200
tied to him, and if it doesn't turn out well,

353
00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:16,599
you're not gonna turn out well.

354
00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:17,720
Speaker 3: Well.

355
00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:19,880
Speaker 2: Coming up next, and let's get to a name that's

356
00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:22,480
starting to be bandied about, an offensive name potentially as

357
00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:24,480
the next Saints head coach. We also got to talk

358

Speaker 1: Welcome back to the best morning sports show around sorta.

388
00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:57,880
It's off the bench with Hester and T Bob.

389
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:02,759
Speaker 2: So I hadn't even been in the office five minutes.

390
00:19:02,839 --> 00:19:04,440
That was a good video you sent Alundra at the

391
00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:07,599
Bittersweet Symphony. I you can see it's got you in

392
00:19:07,599 --> 00:19:08,720
the move here.

393
00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:12,240
Speaker 5: I mean, this song does stuck in my head after

394
00:19:12,319 --> 00:19:13,160
I said that.

395
00:19:13,319 --> 00:19:17,559
Speaker 2: I mean, this song definitely reaches straight into your nostalgic

396
00:19:17,599 --> 00:19:22,279
heartstrings and rips out emotion through sheer force of will.

397
00:19:23,279 --> 00:19:25,480
But I walk into the office this morning, hadn't been

398
00:19:25,559 --> 00:19:29,960
here thirty seconds when Taylor follows me to my office

399
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:35,599
and starts taking and he told me something truly disconcerting signals. Taylor,

400
00:19:36,839 --> 00:19:39,720
who did you tell me that these Saints are considering

401
00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:41,440
for head coach?

402
00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:41,920
Speaker 3: Yeah?

403
00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:44,599
Speaker 7: So this came out Saturday. Diana Rassini was the first

404
00:19:44,599 --> 00:19:46,720
to report it. We actually put an article out about

405
00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:48,640
it on All Louisiana Sports dot Net.

406
00:19:49,039 --> 00:19:52,720
Speaker 6: Can I interest you guys in, Matt Naggy.

407
00:19:52,599 --> 00:19:55,519
Speaker 2: Get the FLT get out of the office right now?

408
00:19:56,839 --> 00:19:59,240
I mean, Jake, am I crazy for that being my reaction?

409
00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:02,359
Speaker 3: No, you're not. Why would you credit this man for

410
00:20:02,519 --> 00:20:04,000
any of the chief success.

411
00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:06,240
Speaker 4: And somebody's already failed again as a head coach And

412
00:20:06,279 --> 00:20:08,200
you just went through that with Dennis Allen.

413
00:20:08,599 --> 00:20:10,279
Speaker 3: And don't you know about Tom Land.

414
00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:13,839
Speaker 4: This is somebody that doesn't call the plays like he said.

415
00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:16,839
Sure he's in there, and maybe maybe Andy lets him

416
00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:18,960
raise his hand and ask a question once or twice

417
00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:21,559
here in a meeting. But Andy Reid puts that game

418
00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:25,960
plan together, he executes the calls, and also like Mahomes

419
00:20:26,039 --> 00:20:28,839
is probably more of a coordinator than Naggy is.

420
00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:31,960
Speaker 3: Like, what are we talking about?

421
00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:35,759
Speaker 2: That has to be a smoke screen if that is

422
00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:42,559
a legitimate report, And Mickey Loomis and I know you

423
00:20:42,599 --> 00:20:44,319
got to do your due diligence, but I don't think

424
00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:46,119
the due diligence in that front is very hard.

425
00:20:46,799 --> 00:20:49,960
Speaker 3: It's oh, he's having success. Where is he? He's a

426
00:20:50,039 --> 00:20:50,480
kid's city.

427
00:20:50,559 --> 00:20:53,920
Speaker 2: Okay, never mind, move on, Yeah, what are we talking about?

428
00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:56,599
And so Taylor, we mean every time I was warre

429
00:20:56,640 --> 00:20:59,440
and he's like, yeah, I mean it's Patrick Mahomes, like

430
00:21:00,519 --> 00:21:03,079
it's it's a team with not just it's Andy Reid,

431
00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:08,160
the offensive mastermind. Pat Mahomes just got the fifth one

432
00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:10,920
seed of his career. How many different offensive coordinators has

433
00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:11,759
he had during that time?

434
00:21:11,799 --> 00:21:12,400
Speaker 3: Does it matter?

435
00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:16,440
Speaker 2: It's Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes. I am not going

436
00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:19,079
to attribute any of that. Plus, the offense isn't even

437
00:21:19,079 --> 00:21:22,279
good this year. I get a shocking to they've gotten better.

438
00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:27,119
They've done always made sure. Yeah, but they have. I

439
00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:29,720
mean now that you know they get Hollywood and Xavior Worthy,

440
00:21:29,599 --> 00:21:31,880
the guy Zavier whether comes along like it's it's gotten

441
00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:35,279
better down the stretch, but it wasn't even overwhelming good.

442
00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:38,079
But even then, I don't blame Maggie for the failure.

443
00:21:38,079 --> 00:21:40,000
I don't blame nagg for any of it. Give him

444
00:21:40,039 --> 00:21:45,039
no credit for nothing. And so I think that is

445
00:21:45,799 --> 00:21:49,759
if you want a name to trigger people immediately here

446
00:21:49,799 --> 00:21:52,480
at the start of the search, that is about as

447
00:21:52,559 --> 00:21:56,359
triggering as I could have possibly fathomed that you would

448
00:21:56,880 --> 00:21:59,720
want to bring in the man from the Chiefs because

449
00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:03,680
he's having success coordinating the Chiefs offense, which is so

450
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:08,119
clearly only like the genius of it is due to

451
00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:11,039
the genius of Andy Reid and him and Pat Mahomes

452
00:22:11,079 --> 00:22:15,519
just being perfectly made for one another, just wild. And again,

453
00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:19,559
as Jake said, like even if he hadn't failed as

454
00:22:19,599 --> 00:22:22,599
a head coach previously, I wouldn't be into it, So

455
00:22:22,599 --> 00:22:24,319
I wouldn't give him any credit for what's going on

456
00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:27,680
in Kansas City. The fact that he has makes this

457
00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:33,279
it pushes it to the level of absurdity. In my mind,

458
00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:37,759
this is some real gum smacking. Haven't you ever heard

459
00:22:37,799 --> 00:22:41,400
of Tom Landry ass logic from Mickey Loomis here.

460
00:22:43,039 --> 00:22:45,400
Speaker 4: I mean, you look at what he did as a

461
00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:49,039
head coach. There was nothing like, there's nothing to hang

462
00:22:49,079 --> 00:22:50,960
your hat on, and you would just go back to

463
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:54,039
the same situation. I mean, outside of the first year

464
00:22:54,039 --> 00:22:58,039
in Chicago. It you know, it's a losing record. So

465
00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:02,359
I just this one's me is head scratching, not a

466
00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:04,519
name that I thought any of us would hear. And

467
00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:07,119
yet he did go twelve and four his first year

468
00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:09,279
in Chicago, which is much better. It is a double

469
00:23:09,319 --> 00:23:13,200
doink you right, Yes, much better than anything that Dennis

470
00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:15,519
Allen ever did when he was a Raiders head coach.

471
00:23:15,559 --> 00:23:17,680
But then it's a Nate eight eight, six and eleven

472
00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:21,079
and gets fired. So yeah, this is this is not

473
00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:23,480
one that would fire up the fan base. This is

474
00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:26,079
not one I don't think that would get anybody motivated.

475
00:23:26,039 --> 00:23:27,440
And I'm look, I'm not even saying the guy's a

476
00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:30,400
bad coach. Okay, Andy Ree brings him right back to

477
00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:32,319
Kansas City, so I'm not saying he's a bad coach,

478
00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:33,880
but he's just not a head coach.

479
00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:35,039
Speaker 3: I mean.

480
00:23:35,160 --> 00:23:39,000
Speaker 2: And look, I'm always open to being wrong, right, Like,

481
00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:41,440
I don't have to celebrate the hire if I think

482
00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:43,359
the evidence says it's bad. If they hire him and

483
00:23:43,359 --> 00:23:46,160
he does great, then I'll gladly eat Crow. But I

484
00:23:46,319 --> 00:23:50,359
just think this feels awful on the surface, like I

485
00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:52,799
would so, even though I think I am with Jake's

486
00:23:52,839 --> 00:23:55,160
theory about you know, when you have a coach that's

487
00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:57,319
on one side of the ball, that's towards actually lies

488
00:23:57,359 --> 00:24:00,200
and he fails, you generally want to switch it up.

489
00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:06,839
I would much rather go Aaron Glenn over Jim Naggy,

490
00:24:07,759 --> 00:24:10,559
Jim Nagi, Matt.

491
00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:15,480
Speaker 4: Naggy, Hey, Jim GM, Yeah exactly, I mean Jim's already interviewed.

492
00:24:15,519 --> 00:24:18,880
Speaker 2: I wish you were looking for GM. Yes, a little

493
00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:20,680
tier says y'all. Do realize that the agents putting out

494
00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:21,319
this info, right?

495
00:24:21,519 --> 00:24:21,720
Speaker 3: Yeah?

496
00:24:21,759 --> 00:24:26,960
Speaker 2: Look, I mean look again works again. I hope, I

497
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:33,960
hope there is not a lot actually here. I'm just

498
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:37,920
getting it on the record, per the Rassini report, how

499
00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:41,519
I feel about it, and we'll move. We'll see, we'll

500
00:24:41,559 --> 00:24:42,839
see what happens from here on out.

501
00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:46,400
Speaker 4: If if you could hire, if you're Mickey Loomis minus

502
00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:49,079
the bubblelicious, if you could hire the next Saints head coach,

503
00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:51,279
you get the choice.

504
00:24:52,319 --> 00:24:55,039
Speaker 2: Again, I don't I don't know that there's anybody that

505
00:24:55,079 --> 00:24:56,160
would do good next year?

506
00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:59,079
Speaker 4: May I mean I'm ain't even really talking about necessarily

507
00:24:59,119 --> 00:25:04,880
next year. Has Munkin been a head coach in the

508
00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:09,000
NFL before? By the way, Doug Peterson literally just got fired,

509
00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:11,160
like just came across the world.

510
00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:13,480
Speaker 3: Doug, Doug, No, Doug not saying for this. Yeah, I

511
00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:18,960
was gonna say, Doug, Dug Dan that's open. Oh oh, no, job.

512
00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:21,119
Speaker 4: So you were just about to say Todd Munkin, Yeah,

513
00:25:21,319 --> 00:25:22,039
was he a head coach?

514
00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:24,880
Speaker 3: Jackson was No, he's been a coordinator in the NFL,

515
00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:27,880
head coach in college. Okay, yeah, yeah, that's right. I

516
00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:29,440
would go get Todd Munkin right now.

517
00:25:29,599 --> 00:25:32,839
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think I mean Munkin's like, why not be

518
00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:36,240
the one to give him again? I I actually like

519
00:25:36,359 --> 00:25:39,960
the Saints maybe giving a coordinator and an opportunity here because

520
00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:41,880
they're not going to be in a great spot anyway.

521
00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:43,640
It's like a young guy who's at the top of

522
00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:46,160
his game maybe makes the most sense in terms of

523
00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:49,759
being innovative and trying to figure things out that maybe a.

524
00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:50,759
Speaker 3: More traditional head coach.

525
00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:55,240
Speaker 2: Uh. And when you look at Munkin, I mean, why

526
00:25:55,240 --> 00:25:57,160
hasn't Georgia won and Natty in a couple of years.

527
00:25:57,200 --> 00:26:00,759
I firmly believe a hefty, hefty portion of it is

528
00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:04,039
no longer having Monken. Look at what Lamar's done this

529
00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:06,400
year now with Monkin, and I understand you want to

530
00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:08,640
have near the amount of personality has there, but that

531
00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:09,359
would definitely be.

532
00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:10,759
Speaker 3: That's the name that popped into my head when you

533
00:26:10,759 --> 00:26:11,440
ask me the question.

534
00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:16,480
Speaker 4: Okay, and I've known Todd Munkin for a very very

535
00:26:16,519 --> 00:26:19,119
long time. He recruited me when he was at Oklahoma State.

536
00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:20,519
He coached here at LSU when I.

537
00:26:20,519 --> 00:26:22,799
Speaker 2: Was Yeah, I remember I went on a visit when

538
00:26:22,839 --> 00:26:24,480
he was a wide receivers coach here.

539
00:26:24,559 --> 00:26:25,839
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's a receivers coach here.

540
00:26:25,839 --> 00:26:28,240
Speaker 4: When Les first came over for two years, he blew

541
00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:30,880
eye and then he went to the NFL. But he

542
00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:36,240
has taken different quarterbacks, different offenses, and he's made them

543
00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:39,599
work like he looks at what he has and then

544
00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:42,079
he makes that work, not what he does and makes

545
00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:45,160
the players try to figure out what he's doing. I mean,

546
00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:48,759
he's doing great things in the run game in Baltimore.

547
00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:50,799
And look, I know they got Derek Henry, but still

548
00:26:50,839 --> 00:26:52,519
like the innovative stuff that they're doing.

549
00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:55,079
Speaker 3: Lamar's passing numbers are through the roof right now.

550
00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:57,720
Speaker 2: And you got AK, I mean AK still she showed

551
00:26:57,720 --> 00:26:59,720
you this year. AK takes care of that body like

552
00:26:59,759 --> 00:27:04,279
he he still got He's still got juice, And yes he.

553
00:27:04,319 --> 00:27:07,799
Speaker 3: Is Jeff Munck and the Army's coaches cousin. I never

554
00:27:07,839 --> 00:27:08,839
knew that I was wondering.

555
00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:12,680
Speaker 2: I just figured there was just a coincidence so that

556
00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:14,039
that would be a name that I would look into.

557
00:27:14,039 --> 00:27:17,400
I'll be very intrigued to see what the New Orleans

558
00:27:17,440 --> 00:27:18,599
Saints end up doing.

559
00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:22,799
Speaker 3: But again, just be very wary of.

560
00:27:24,119 --> 00:27:27,440
Speaker 2: Choosing a man who's not actually running the offense, like

561
00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:33,480
as Jake said, not not calling the place and whatnot

562
00:27:33,759 --> 00:27:40,880
Chat is saying. John Gruden, speaking of nostalgic experiences, I

563
00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:43,839
feel like every coach opening for about a decade there,

564
00:27:44,200 --> 00:27:47,680
college or NFL, it was John Gruden. They're all kinds

565
00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:50,519
of rumors that Gruden was coming to LSU, his.

566
00:27:50,559 --> 00:27:52,440
Speaker 3: Daughter goes here or something like that. I can't remember.

567
00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:55,480
Saw him in Knoxville. He's going to this Yeah yeah, yeah,

568
00:27:56,240 --> 00:27:56,960
uh for sure.

569
00:27:57,160 --> 00:28:00,000
Speaker 4: John Green, same with a little bit, not to that level,

570
00:28:00,039 --> 00:28:03,640
because you're right, every job but Jack del Rio too, oh.

571
00:28:03,559 --> 00:28:05,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, Jack del Rio to LS. You know his daughter did.

572
00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:09,799
Speaker 4: Actually, yeah, I know his son, like when he was

573
00:28:09,799 --> 00:28:11,880
trying to figure out what he wanted to do kind

574
00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:15,279
of after football, Like he came and co hosted Hang

575
00:28:15,359 --> 00:28:16,920
with Hester with me like two or three times.

576
00:28:17,039 --> 00:28:20,720
Speaker 3: Oh wow, Luke. Yeah, and now he's now he's coached.

577
00:28:20,759 --> 00:28:24,319
I think he's a college coach. Was probably coaching.

578
00:28:24,519 --> 00:28:26,799
Speaker 2: Yeah, but he was like, I want to get plenty

579
00:28:26,839 --> 00:28:29,839
of good roads to to go grind out.

580
00:28:29,759 --> 00:28:37,720
Speaker 4: Sea where Luke is now offensive analysts for the Washington Huskies. Okay,

581
00:28:39,519 --> 00:28:40,559
Shadow Staff was.

582
00:28:40,559 --> 00:28:45,160
Speaker 2: A Commanders assistant quarterback coach last year. M bad year

583
00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:48,200
to get out of being a Commander assistant quarterback coach. Yeah,

584
00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:50,839
could have could have could have felt a lot better

585
00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:53,440
having JD five back there versus who was the.

586
00:28:53,960 --> 00:29:01,440
Speaker 3: Sam h Man Daniel about Grid saying he's a freaking

587
00:29:01,519 --> 00:29:02,480
barstool with Minci.

588
00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:06,680
Speaker 2: I know who does the Saints like Campbell and Glenn

589
00:29:06,680 --> 00:29:08,920
out of the building and fire Matt n Aggie, uh

590
00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:11,200
and hire Matt Knight. Yet that'd be that, that would

591
00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:13,119
be how about you know what's the name that we

592
00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:16,559
never mentioned? Guys that got away Alex Hanzloni you know,

593
00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:20,400
oh yeah, the make it last night all over the

594
00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:22,559
place and now just like I don't know what this

595
00:29:22,680 --> 00:29:26,839
team ever did without Alexanzeloni. Same thing they say about

596
00:29:26,960 --> 00:29:29,960
Zach Bond and the Eagles, saying about Trey Hendrickson and

597
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:30,519
the Bengals.

598
00:29:30,680 --> 00:29:34,960
Speaker 3: Henderson so good, it's crazy, it's crazy, we'd have to

599
00:29:35,039 --> 00:29:35,440
go back.

600
00:29:35,559 --> 00:29:40,119
Speaker 4: I mean, like I remember those conversations, but not in

601
00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:42,599
detail of you know, make it because he played well

602
00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:47,720
in New Orleans, Like who they kept instead of Hendrickson.

603
00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:48,720
Speaker 6: It was so was Marcus Williams.

604
00:29:48,799 --> 00:29:50,720
Speaker 7: They didn't want to pay him both they they they

605
00:29:50,799 --> 00:29:53,400
kept Marcus Williams, but even even they moved on from him.

606
00:29:53,319 --> 00:29:56,279
Speaker 2: Two years after well, the Minnesota miracles just like think

607
00:29:56,359 --> 00:30:00,319
poisoned things with because because like even in that year

608
00:30:00,359 --> 00:30:04,200
Marcus Williams was actually awesome, but that single play just

609
00:30:04,240 --> 00:30:07,680
poison things to atended.

610
00:30:06,599 --> 00:30:09,519
Speaker 3: Chat, says Kaiden Ellis. That's another one. He's playing well.

611
00:30:10,680 --> 00:30:14,680
Speaker 2: M So maybe they're drafted like better than we thought. Sure,

612
00:30:14,759 --> 00:30:16,279
just not keeping the guys.

613
00:30:16,440 --> 00:30:20,559
Speaker 4: I don't know, maybe not developing at first round picks,

614
00:30:20,880 --> 00:30:23,039
like okay, at the middle rounds.

615
00:30:22,920 --> 00:30:23,559
Speaker 3: In terms of.

616
00:30:25,079 --> 00:30:27,400
Speaker 4: I don't know, Cad and the son Marcus made this

617
00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:30,079
huge deal and he's like bounce around practice squads.

618
00:30:29,799 --> 00:30:32,839
Speaker 3: Right now, so we'll see again.

619
00:30:33,039 --> 00:30:36,240
Speaker 2: It's it's tough to get excited about a rebuild when

620
00:30:36,279 --> 00:30:39,599
you don't necessarily believe in the front office. But nobody

621
00:30:39,599 --> 00:30:43,000
believed in six they somehow found the magic combination to

622
00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:46,359
make it work. I certainly hope that Mickey Loomis can

623
00:30:46,359 --> 00:30:48,480
prove us all wrong and that we will be eating

624
00:30:48,559 --> 00:30:50,160
crow once again, though I.

625
00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:52,599
Speaker 3: Don't feel very positive about it.

626
00:30:53,480 --> 00:30:55,720

00:32:33,519 --> 00:32:38,079
Speaker 3: Heating up on the football field as we are. The

662
00:32:38,119 --> 00:32:39,119
playoffs are set.

663
00:32:39,759 --> 00:32:42,960
Speaker 2: Eighteen weeks of the NFL season have led us to

664
00:32:43,079 --> 00:32:47,400
this moment in what a football few weeks we are

665
00:32:47,440 --> 00:32:50,240
going to have we have our first ever college football

666
00:32:50,279 --> 00:32:53,200
final four team used to be a team, I mean

667
00:32:53,240 --> 00:32:55,480
a tournament final four in which you had to earn

668
00:32:55,519 --> 00:32:59,000
your way to the final four. And we now have

669
00:32:59,279 --> 00:33:03,640
the AFC NFC playoff pictures fully set as once again

670
00:33:03,680 --> 00:33:07,000
for the fifth time and Patrick Mahomes's career, the Chiefs

671
00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:11,039
take home the one seed while the Lions continue their ascent.

672
00:33:11,200 --> 00:33:13,559
They beat the Vikings. It was the final score of

673
00:33:13,559 --> 00:33:14,839
that game. I turned it off. I think what it

674
00:33:14,880 --> 00:33:18,279
was like, seventy nine. Okay, yeah, yeah. It had the

675
00:33:18,319 --> 00:33:21,640
feeling of a game that was about to go sideways

676
00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:26,240
on the Minnesota Vikings, and sideways indeed indeed end up going.

677
00:33:26,559 --> 00:33:30,559
So the Lion's been a massive matchup to get the

678
00:33:30,599 --> 00:33:33,559
one seed, not knock the Vikings all the way down

679
00:33:33,599 --> 00:33:40,119
to the fifth seed. Absolutely brutal break. But coming up Friday, Saturday, Sunday,

680
00:33:40,920 --> 00:33:48,240
we'll get Bill's Broncos, Ravens, Steelers, Texans Chargers, and then

681
00:33:48,279 --> 00:33:54,000
in the NFC side, Eagles, Packers, Buccaneers, Commanders, and then

682
00:33:54,160 --> 00:33:59,839
Rams Vikings. Very exciting times, Tye. Give me your biggest

683
00:34:00,400 --> 00:34:03,200
playoff takeaways from over the weekend.

684
00:34:03,920 --> 00:34:07,279
Speaker 7: The fact that the Bucks looked like they were going

685
00:34:07,319 --> 00:34:08,599
to lose. Now they're all the way up to the

686
00:34:08,639 --> 00:34:09,800
three seed thanks.

687
00:34:09,599 --> 00:34:10,400
Speaker 6: To the Rams.

688
00:34:10,559 --> 00:34:13,199
Speaker 7: And then you know, we had talked about, oh where

689
00:34:13,199 --> 00:34:15,559
the Saints going to end the Bucks season. It didn't

690
00:34:15,599 --> 00:34:18,639
matter because the Falcons lost. Of the Panthers say they

691
00:34:18,639 --> 00:34:19,880
were able to sneak in there.

692
00:34:20,760 --> 00:34:23,079
Speaker 6: I don't look. He said, such a great year.

693
00:34:23,119 --> 00:34:25,719
Speaker 7: I hate to criticize him, but I guess a great

694
00:34:25,719 --> 00:34:28,159
team with the seed with the one seed on the line,

695
00:34:28,519 --> 00:34:32,320
Sam Donald goes eighteen of forty one, so you know,

696
00:34:32,360 --> 00:34:35,400
if you're the Vikings again, he said, such a great year.

697
00:34:35,400 --> 00:34:37,559
But it seems like all season long, everybody's like, when

698
00:34:37,559 --> 00:34:39,960
does Sam Donald revert back to what we've seen him

699
00:34:39,960 --> 00:34:40,960
be his entire career.

700
00:34:41,280 --> 00:34:42,559
Speaker 6: He did it in a big moment.

701
00:34:42,719 --> 00:34:44,559
Speaker 7: He's got to go against the Rams, who's a team

702
00:34:44,599 --> 00:34:47,599
that's getting healthier and healthier. That's a spot where I

703
00:34:47,639 --> 00:34:50,760
look for a potential upset Bucks. Commanders is going to

704
00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:53,199
be phenomenal with Eagles, Packers is going to be phenomenal.

705
00:34:53,719 --> 00:34:56,400
Speaker 2: I think, man, I feel bad for Sam Dar' that's

706
00:34:56,440 --> 00:35:00,000
the It's just like, what an impossible place to exist.

707
00:35:00,320 --> 00:35:02,920
Speaker 3: You go fourteen and three people like, oh, you still assumed, George,

708
00:35:02,960 --> 00:35:03,639
You're not They're good.

709
00:35:03,840 --> 00:35:04,559
Speaker 6: Well, and that's the thing.

710
00:35:04,599 --> 00:35:07,400
Speaker 7: So like he he doesn't play well the last regular

711
00:35:07,400 --> 00:35:10,400
season game, what if he goes in there and and

712
00:35:10,400 --> 00:35:12,840
and craps the bed against the Rams? Did they just

713
00:35:12,920 --> 00:35:14,360
roll with JJ McCarthy next year?

714
00:35:14,440 --> 00:35:14,719
Speaker 3: Yeah?

715
00:35:15,119 --> 00:35:16,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I I have I have a buddy

716
00:35:16,760 --> 00:35:19,280
who works for the team, and last night he was

717
00:35:19,400 --> 00:35:22,239
rage texting about how done he is with Darnold. Yeah,

718
00:35:22,360 --> 00:35:26,079
he sucks. I'm so ready for JJ. So yes, you

719
00:35:26,119 --> 00:35:28,239
know what it has the feeling of Jake. What do

720
00:35:28,320 --> 00:35:32,079
you remember the Case Keenum text? No, the Case Keenum

721
00:35:32,280 --> 00:35:36,679
Vikings champions are the one that beat the Saints.

722
00:35:36,719 --> 00:35:39,119
Speaker 3: And then who was the quarterback the following year?

723
00:35:39,519 --> 00:35:42,400
Speaker 6: It was, uh was it Kirk? Did they replace him

724
00:35:42,440 --> 00:35:42,760
with Kirk?

725
00:35:43,800 --> 00:35:44,760
Speaker 3: I think so?

726
00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:47,639
Speaker 2: Right, Like Case Keenum had this incredible year, but at

727
00:35:47,639 --> 00:35:49,079
the end of the day, they still were like, well,

728
00:35:49,119 --> 00:35:50,679
unfortunately you're still Case Keenum.

729
00:35:50,760 --> 00:35:55,840
Speaker 7: Yeah, likes winning the Super Bowl where the team to

730
00:35:55,840 --> 00:35:56,239
beat him?

731
00:35:56,360 --> 00:35:58,559
Speaker 3: Yeah, sorry, all good with Nick Foles?

732
00:35:58,599 --> 00:35:59,840
Speaker 6: Right, yeah, with Nick Foles.

733
00:35:59,840 --> 00:36:01,920
Speaker 7: But like that was they were they were great, Like

734
00:36:01,920 --> 00:36:03,480
they were like one of the betting favorites to win

735
00:36:03,519 --> 00:36:05,679
the Super Bowl going into the playoffs, so we'll.

736
00:36:05,519 --> 00:36:06,679
Speaker 3: See what ends up happening there.

737
00:36:06,719 --> 00:36:09,840
Speaker 2: But of course, Sam Donald's still gonna have ample opportunity

738
00:36:10,400 --> 00:36:14,679
to right, you know, to to shut everybody up.

739
00:36:14,800 --> 00:36:14,920
Speaker 1: Right.

740
00:36:14,960 --> 00:36:18,000
Speaker 2: You win in the playoffs, and that's all that matters

741
00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:18,639
at the end of the day.

742
00:36:18,719 --> 00:36:20,760
Speaker 4: His contract and then the whole situation will be very

743
00:36:20,760 --> 00:36:23,360
interesting because the Vikings, you know, they got the first

744
00:36:23,440 --> 00:36:25,920
round pick that's going to be waiting in the wings,

745
00:36:25,960 --> 00:36:27,519
and he was going to be the start. He had

746
00:36:27,519 --> 00:36:30,320
already won the job before he got hurt, and so

747
00:36:30,480 --> 00:36:32,679
you know they're gonna have him be their quarterback. And

748
00:36:32,679 --> 00:36:34,639
what are they going to do with Sam Donald? You know,

749
00:36:34,679 --> 00:36:37,639
what kind of money does he get on the open market?

750
00:36:37,880 --> 00:36:41,000
You know, Baker kind of had that same situation where

751
00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:42,599
he was bouncing from team to team and then all

752
00:36:42,599 --> 00:36:44,199
of a sudden he has the year with the Bucks

753
00:36:44,199 --> 00:36:46,920
and then he gets paid a three year contract where

754
00:36:46,920 --> 00:36:49,320
it was three like three years ninety million something like that.

755
00:36:49,480 --> 00:36:51,599
Speaker 6: Yeah, it was like two three, eight years.

756
00:36:51,639 --> 00:36:54,480
Speaker 4: It's still kind of crazy underpaid, but but yeah, do

757
00:36:54,519 --> 00:36:56,400
we think Sam Donald's gonna get something like that?

758
00:36:57,800 --> 00:37:01,320
Speaker 3: Bakers? Baker had more highs to that point. It was

759
00:37:01,360 --> 00:37:02,840
more than just a play.

760
00:37:03,199 --> 00:37:05,000
Speaker 6: With the Browns and all that. It wasn't just a

761
00:37:05,039 --> 00:37:05,840
flash in the pan.

762
00:37:06,440 --> 00:37:10,400
Speaker 2: Also, I think the thing that the Bucks like about

763
00:37:10,440 --> 00:37:14,239
Baker maybe more than anything else, is that is it's

764
00:37:14,280 --> 00:37:16,840
a lot of the intangibles. It's the leadership, it's the

765
00:37:16,920 --> 00:37:19,280
vibe that he brings on the locker room. When you

766
00:37:19,480 --> 00:37:23,119
have a first round quarterback on the roster, is it

767
00:37:23,199 --> 00:37:26,239
even possible for Sam Darnold to be the guy?

768
00:37:26,840 --> 00:37:27,119
Speaker 3: You know what?

769
00:37:27,320 --> 00:37:29,400
Speaker 2: It's a much harder hill to climb for where Baker, like,

770
00:37:29,440 --> 00:37:32,880
who's he looking over his shoulder at nobody? So he

771
00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:35,599
was able to yeah, exactly, so he was able to

772
00:37:35,719 --> 00:37:39,280
come in there. I we'll see, We'll see what ends

773
00:37:39,360 --> 00:37:40,880
up happening, all right, I saw. Look, we got a

774
00:37:40,960 --> 00:37:42,840
ton to get to with the playoffs. Let's talk about

775
00:37:42,880 --> 00:37:46,199
let's start very surface level when we get back, or

776
00:37:46,280 --> 00:37:49,199
very kind of like top of the mountain level when

777
00:37:49,199 --> 00:37:52,360
we get back, and let's just talk about who we

778
00:37:52,360 --> 00:37:54,519
think will eventually emerge out of these two sides. Keep

779
00:37:54,559 --> 00:37:59,320
locked here on no TV, off the bench. Tommy's windows, doors,

780

781
00:38:04,480 --> 00:38:06,320
and when you work with Tommy's. You're gonna see the

782
00:38:06,360 --> 00:38:11,840
difference clearly. So Tommy came many many years ago to

783
00:38:11,880 --> 00:38:14,760
Baton Rouge to be in the Golden Band from Tigerland. Okay,

784
00:38:14,840 --> 00:38:16,760
how do you make it as a musician like that?

785
00:38:16,880 --> 00:38:19,440
Because you're perfectionists. You work your ass off to make

786
00:38:19,480 --> 00:38:23,440
sure stuff is done correctly well. Getting carried that over

787
00:38:23,480 --> 00:38:27,480
in his career and after twenty years in this business,

788
00:38:27,519 --> 00:38:28,960
said you know what, there are things that I would

789
00:38:28,960 --> 00:38:32,000
do differently to perfect it. And so he starts his

00:39:05,679 --> 00:39:10,719
Off the Bench, Nice.

800
00:39:14,119 --> 00:39:14,679
Speaker 3: What hedding?

801
00:39:14,800 --> 00:39:15,199
Speaker 1: Y'all?

802
00:39:15,239 --> 00:39:20,119
Speaker 2: Welcome back to OTB TA, Bob, Jacolandra and Tata Hanging out.

803
00:39:19,960 --> 00:39:20,440
Speaker 3: With you here.

804
00:39:20,760 --> 00:39:24,280
Speaker 2: I hope you're having a nice chili polar vortex sort

805
00:39:24,280 --> 00:39:24,880
of a morning.

806
00:39:25,800 --> 00:39:26,960
Speaker 3: Speaking of chili.

807
00:39:28,079 --> 00:39:31,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, Taylor just told me a Cleveland Brown stat that

808
00:39:32,079 --> 00:39:34,480
it would be so depressing if you're a Cleveland fan,

809
00:39:34,519 --> 00:39:36,400
if you Saints fan, just know that, you know, things

810
00:39:36,400 --> 00:39:39,360
can always be worse. Since nineteen ninety nine, you said,

811
00:39:39,440 --> 00:39:43,400
or ninety eight, it is nineteen ninety nine with Bailey's appy.

812
00:39:43,519 --> 00:39:50,119
Starting yesterday, the Cleveland Browns have started forty different quarterbacks

813
00:39:50,639 --> 00:39:51,639
for zero.

814
00:39:51,800 --> 00:39:53,800
Speaker 3: I mean, including a guy that just got fired and

815
00:39:53,840 --> 00:39:55,360
Doug Peterson. He's on the jersey.

816
00:39:56,119 --> 00:39:56,519
Speaker 2: He is.

817
00:39:58,039 --> 00:40:02,920
Speaker 3: That is Oh wait, he's in that number. Yeah, he's

818
00:40:02,960 --> 00:40:03,400
on the jersey.

819
00:40:03,400 --> 00:40:06,119
Speaker 7: So it's it's a Tim kalch jersey initially, Yeah, and

820
00:40:06,159 --> 00:40:07,360
then the names after.

821
00:40:07,800 --> 00:40:10,199
Speaker 3: I thought Tim was gonna be awesome. Who did it all?

822
00:40:10,280 --> 00:40:13,519
Speaker 2: Right, guys? AFC is it? I mean it's just the Chiefs, right,

823
00:40:14,920 --> 00:40:16,280
definitely not the Chargers.

824
00:40:16,679 --> 00:40:18,719
Speaker 3: No, I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding. You gotta feel

825
00:40:18,719 --> 00:40:20,039
pretty good about the week one matchup.

826
00:40:20,119 --> 00:40:22,000
Speaker 4: Huh oh yeah, I mean that's why winning against the

827
00:40:22,039 --> 00:40:24,159
Raiders yesterday was so big. Yeah, I mean you go

828
00:40:24,239 --> 00:40:27,559
from having to go to Baltimore to go into Houston

829
00:40:27,800 --> 00:40:31,079
big time, and they played well against Baltimore earlier this year.

830
00:40:31,119 --> 00:40:33,519
But come on, if you're choosing between the two, you're

831
00:40:33,519 --> 00:40:37,239
gonna choose Houston. I think Houston doesn't have really good players,

832
00:40:37,239 --> 00:40:39,199
and I think a lot of Demico ryans, But I mean,

833
00:40:39,239 --> 00:40:40,920
Baltimore in the playoffs is just different.

834
00:40:40,920 --> 00:40:43,639
Speaker 3: I've played him in the playoffs. They are just different.

835
00:40:44,079 --> 00:40:45,480
They I mean, they raise their.

836
00:40:45,440 --> 00:40:48,079
Speaker 4: Level of play and and I know Lamar is looking

837
00:40:48,119 --> 00:40:51,480
for that playoff success, but that's just that is a hard,

838
00:40:51,800 --> 00:40:54,280
hard place to go play in the playoffs, and so

839
00:40:54,559 --> 00:40:57,440
it looks like a team that has figured some things out.

840
00:40:57,519 --> 00:40:59,840
And I know, again, I know Lamar in the playoffs,

841
00:40:59,840 --> 00:41:02,400
a lot of people wanting to see more. He feels

842
00:41:02,400 --> 00:41:04,599
like a different Lamar this year. Yeah, I mean, oh yeah,

843
00:41:04,599 --> 00:41:06,280
getting Houston for sure.

844
00:41:06,159 --> 00:41:07,679
Speaker 7: Well, and teams aren't key and in on him as

845
00:41:07,760 --> 00:41:09,519
much because of Dereck Henry, like all the all the

846
00:41:09,519 --> 00:41:11,239
pressures off of him in the running game, like he

847
00:41:11,280 --> 00:41:12,599
only really runs when he has to.

848
00:41:12,639 --> 00:41:13,000
Speaker 6: This year.

849
00:41:13,079 --> 00:41:16,039
Speaker 2: One thing about Monkin as well, at least of his

850
00:41:16,199 --> 00:41:20,440
time at UGA, him and Bennett would be at their

851
00:41:20,519 --> 00:41:23,599
best in the biggest games like that UJ offense just

852
00:41:23,719 --> 00:41:25,800
kind of pitter around during the regular season, but during

853
00:41:25,800 --> 00:41:28,199
the playoffs and the Nasal Champish they would go off.

854
00:41:28,280 --> 00:41:30,559
So uh, maybe he could take some of that postseas

855
00:41:30,559 --> 00:41:36,320
success with him. Funny Houston stead here, Jake Houston five

856
00:41:36,360 --> 00:41:39,440
and two in wildcard games since twenty eleven, so they've

857
00:41:39,440 --> 00:41:42,320
had some success in these spots and never played the

858
00:41:42,440 --> 00:41:45,480
Chargers before in the playoffs, and Jake, I would ask you,

859
00:41:45,519 --> 00:41:48,840
are you suffering any PTSD from the last Chargers playoff trip?

860
00:41:49,280 --> 00:41:52,000
Speaker 3: Oh, from losing a twenty seven to nothing lead.

861
00:41:52,199 --> 00:41:55,800
Speaker 2: Yes, no, the thing that made everybody be convinced that

862
00:41:55,800 --> 00:41:57,840
Trevor Lawrence is actually awesome and you get two hundred

863
00:41:57,880 --> 00:41:58,320
million dollars.

864
00:41:58,440 --> 00:42:03,639
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, that those things are expected. Oh yeah, it's

865
00:42:03,639 --> 00:42:06,079
just par for the course. Yeah, it would be man.

866
00:42:06,119 --> 00:42:08,400
Speaker 4: It would be nice, though, just to win a playoff

867
00:42:08,440 --> 00:42:11,920
game after winning five games and the franchise just looking

868
00:42:11,960 --> 00:42:15,800
like a hot mess and hardball. You're getting the most

869
00:42:15,840 --> 00:42:19,119
out of so many different players. Lab McConkie looks awesome.

870
00:42:20,360 --> 00:42:23,880
Quintin Johnston looks awesome. He had almost two hundred yards

871
00:42:23,920 --> 00:42:28,239
receiving yesterday for a player that his first year couldn't catch.

872
00:42:28,480 --> 00:42:30,840
I mean, so, no, the guys you drafted are playing

873
00:42:30,960 --> 00:42:34,920
much better than they were a year ago. It feels

874
00:42:35,000 --> 00:42:38,679
it feels like we actually have some momentum now in

875
00:42:38,760 --> 00:42:39,440
the AFC.

876
00:42:39,920 --> 00:42:45,280
Speaker 2: Maybe this is the question, Bills or Ravens better challenger

877
00:42:45,719 --> 00:42:46,960
to knock off the Chiefs.

878
00:42:47,559 --> 00:42:50,440
Speaker 7: I think the Bills are a better challenger for the Chiefs,

879
00:42:50,519 --> 00:42:53,199
But the Ravens are a bad matchup for the Buffalo Bills.

880
00:42:53,239 --> 00:42:55,199
Speaker 6: They can't stop the run. The Ravens love to run

881
00:42:55,239 --> 00:42:55,840
the ball.

882
00:42:55,760 --> 00:42:58,400
Speaker 7: So that matchup like, Bill's got to get past the

883
00:42:58,480 --> 00:42:59,400
Ravens first.

884
00:43:00,159 --> 00:43:04,039
Speaker 4: And then Okay, Jake, what do I think the Ravens

885
00:43:05,000 --> 00:43:10,159
the Bills are great? But it's so much around Josh Allen,

886
00:43:11,679 --> 00:43:14,519
Like if for some reason Lamar has an off game,

887
00:43:14,840 --> 00:43:18,400
like you still have a nineteen hundred yard rusher.

888
00:43:18,559 --> 00:43:20,960
Speaker 3: Well, and to your point.

889
00:43:20,639 --> 00:43:24,000
Speaker 2: Defensively, the Ravens randomly found their strive mil the season.

890
00:43:24,039 --> 00:43:26,679
Last seven games, they're number one in the NFL, only

891
00:43:26,719 --> 00:43:28,159
giving up fifteen points a game.

892
00:43:28,320 --> 00:43:32,199
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, I mean they've got incredible dbs.

893
00:43:32,280 --> 00:43:34,000
Speaker 3: They got Rokwan right there in the middle.

894
00:43:34,159 --> 00:43:36,000
Speaker 4: Van Ney's been a monster off the edge, but I

895
00:43:36,000 --> 00:43:38,599
think he's got twelve and a half sacks, So yeah,

896
00:43:38,639 --> 00:43:41,400
they have found something. And I just the Ravens right

897
00:43:41,440 --> 00:43:44,519
now feel like a team that can go win and all.

898
00:43:45,320 --> 00:43:49,519
Speaker 2: And then on the NFC side, definitely not a prohibitive

899
00:43:49,519 --> 00:43:51,440
favorite all lot of the Chiefs because we've seen the

900
00:43:51,519 --> 00:43:53,360
Chiefs do this so much recently.

901
00:43:54,239 --> 00:43:56,719
Speaker 3: But are the Lions your favorite to make the Super Bowl?

902
00:43:56,800 --> 00:43:58,880
Speaker 2: I mean a lot of injuries, man, he just wonder

903
00:43:58,920 --> 00:44:00,480
if your lines and what happened, if you still have

904
00:44:00,480 --> 00:44:02,119
eight hutchs and everything, I think you would be an

905
00:44:02,159 --> 00:44:03,239
overwhelming favorite.

906
00:44:02,960 --> 00:44:04,960
Speaker 3: At that point. Yeah, and he says he can be

907
00:44:05,039 --> 00:44:07,360
back for the Super Bowl. Oh he does. He says

908
00:44:07,400 --> 00:44:11,039
he can. We'll see, Yeah, we'll see if he can

909
00:44:11,119 --> 00:44:11,519
be back.

910
00:44:11,599 --> 00:44:14,159
Speaker 4: But after what Detroit did last night, I mean, I

911
00:44:14,159 --> 00:44:15,840
don't know how they couldn't be. They're gonna be playing

912
00:44:15,840 --> 00:44:19,079
in that building. Obviously, they got a great home field advantage.

913
00:44:19,639 --> 00:44:22,760
When you look at some of the other teams, you know,

914
00:44:22,800 --> 00:44:26,599
there's good teams that are solid teams, but I just

915
00:44:26,639 --> 00:44:28,679
don't know that they can beat you as many ways

916
00:44:29,039 --> 00:44:31,239
as the Lions can beat you, even with all the injuries.

917
00:44:31,280 --> 00:44:33,280
And they're starting to get some of those pieces back.

918
00:44:34,320 --> 00:44:37,000
So if you get Montgomery back and ta te I

919
00:44:37,000 --> 00:44:39,199
believe that's something. I think he's going to be back

920
00:44:39,239 --> 00:44:41,639
for their first playoff game. I mean, they got a

921
00:44:41,639 --> 00:44:43,280
two hit of mont shirt running back. They got a

922
00:44:43,360 --> 00:44:46,800
very confident Jared Golf who's got, you know, a number

923
00:44:46,840 --> 00:44:49,679
one receiver. He's got a number one tied end, like

924
00:44:49,840 --> 00:44:52,840
of guys that would play on any team in the league.

925
00:44:54,119 --> 00:44:57,119
And their defenses is not It's not the best by

926
00:44:57,159 --> 00:44:58,480
any means. I can sit here and tell you a

927
00:44:58,480 --> 00:45:00,320
lot to you that it is. But they're you know,

928
00:45:00,320 --> 00:45:03,599
when the opportunity presents itself, they dot they do make a.

929
00:45:03,519 --> 00:45:04,360
Speaker 3: Lot of plays.

930
00:45:04,920 --> 00:45:07,599
Speaker 2: Taylor, how about this little Baker? So again I mentioned

931
00:45:07,599 --> 00:45:10,440
Baker being underpaid. I didn't fully realize this. So Baker

932
00:45:10,480 --> 00:45:14,320
wraps up this season second in touchdown passes with forty one,

933
00:45:14,960 --> 00:45:19,599
third in completion percentage seventy one point four percent, and

934
00:45:19,840 --> 00:45:23,199
third in passing yards forty five hundred, and he makes

935
00:45:23,239 --> 00:45:25,079
barely over thirty millions.

936
00:45:25,079 --> 00:45:26,559
Speaker 3: Insane. That's a fifty.

937
00:45:26,320 --> 00:45:29,440
Speaker 2: Million dollar year stat line. Can the Bucks get a

938
00:45:29,440 --> 00:45:30,920
little frisky? No?

939
00:45:31,000 --> 00:45:32,000
Speaker 6: Their defense is too bad?

940
00:45:32,800 --> 00:45:35,159
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, all right, to give me your second team

941
00:45:35,199 --> 00:45:36,719
out of the Is it just the Eagles and.

942
00:45:36,920 --> 00:45:38,400
Speaker 6: Eagles again Rams.

943
00:45:38,400 --> 00:45:41,039
Speaker 7: If they can get healthier than they they rested their

944
00:45:41,079 --> 00:45:41,760
starters and.

945
00:45:42,000 --> 00:45:43,400
Speaker 6: On the Commies, that's a team.

946
00:45:43,440 --> 00:45:45,360
Speaker 7: And then yeah, the commanders of Jayden can get hot.

947
00:45:45,400 --> 00:45:46,559
I just worry about a rookie QB.

948
00:45:47,159 --> 00:45:50,079
Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree, but we'll see man NFL playoffs about

949
00:45:50,079 --> 00:45:50,880
the cover. Very excited.

950
00:45:51,000 --> 00:45:53,920
Speaker 2: Already got some sec basketball to get to as all

951
00:45:54,039 --> 00:45:55,880
some portal combat.

952
00:45:55,719 --> 00:45:59,480
Speaker 3: Continue to keep it locked on. Off the bench, Off

953
00:45:59,480 --> 00:46:00,119
the bench, ye
