  Yo, yo, yo, welcome back to Banter with the Boys.
• 0:15
  Gridiron Updates, week 14.
• 0:17
  Of course, we're here on another Vikings win.
• 0:19
  We know that. We're here to talk about Al Shair's hit on Trevor Lawrence
• 0:24
  and everything in between.
• 0:26
  But before we get started with that,
• 0:28
  Nah, welcome D'Angelo. How's it going?
• 0:32
  How's it going, man?
• 0:32
  Welcome to the pod, man.
• 0:33
  Appreciate it. Appreciate you guys having me.
• 0:36
  Yeah, for sure.
• 0:36
  Excited.
• 0:37
  Excited. We're happy to have you on. You're a Lions fan.
• 0:40
  Our first Lions fan on the pod, like through and through.
• 0:43
  So that's awesome.
• 0:44
  I'll get after him for the boys, you know.
• 0:47
  He was looking the same subject up for a period of time before the pod.
• 0:52
  No, too. We got some info.
• 0:53
  No, but why don't you just quick give us a little rundown?
• 0:58
  What got you into football?
• 0:59
  How long you been, you know, associated with the game?
• 1:01
  OK, cool. Yeah.
• 1:03
  My probably first game of football was when I was 10.
• 1:07
  Got in it pretty early.
• 1:09
  I went to one of my neighbor's kids footballs game
• 1:14
  and I was like, I've seen him get hit.
• 1:16
  I was like, man, I want to do that.
• 1:18
  That's interesting.
• 1:20
  You know, I come from a family of five.
• 1:22
  Got four brothers, one sister.
• 1:25
  So pretty much roughhousing was the main course of act of love.
• 1:30
  Yeah, as you would say, all expressing.
• 1:35
  Physical touch, I guess.
• 1:37
  Busting on each other.
• 1:39
  But yeah, ever since, you know, I picked the football up.
• 1:41
  I never really put it back down until I played all up into college.
• 1:45
  I played in high school.
• 1:47
  Was fortunate to play Division two.
• 1:49
  Nice. Went to Crookston for a little bit.
• 1:52
  What position?
• 1:53
  Minnesota Crookston for those that are right.
• 1:55
  Yup. Then transferred to the state courthouse.
• 1:58
  I mean, Concordia St. Paul in my last two years.
• 2:01
  All right. They have a cool stadium, don't they?
• 2:03
  Yeah, yeah, yeah. I like it, man.
• 2:05
  Definitely was in the works.
• 2:07
  You know, got the new turf and everything when I got there.
• 2:11
  So it was pretty cool.
• 2:13
  But yeah, I love football.
• 2:14
  It's been a part of my life.
• 2:16
  Maybe you want to coach, you know, later on during the line.
• 2:19
  All right. The opportunity.
• 2:20
  I was like, you ever thought about coaching?
• 2:23
  No, I definitely did.
• 2:25
  There's always coaches needed out there.
• 2:26
  Yeah, no, we actually in high school, I went to Creendom Hall.
• 2:30
  We had a little mini-rider camp.
• 2:32
  Actually coached some NFL kids.
• 2:35
  I don't know if you guys are too familiar with Seth Green
• 2:39
  and Kamal Martin.
• 2:40
  They're actually going for guys.
• 2:43
  Coached them.
• 2:44
  Was trying to get them to come to Creed, man.
• 2:46
  Oh my God.
• 2:47
  Oh, you're recruiting too.
• 2:48
  Oh, a little bit.
• 2:50
  There it is.
• 2:51
  Definitely a little bit.
• 2:52
  You know, you see talent at that young of age.
• 2:55
  You got to try to get in where you fit in.
• 2:57
  Come join my squad.
• 2:58
  For sure.
• 3:00
  But yeah, man, I love it.
• 3:02
  Still watch it to this day.
• 3:04
  He was on college.
• 3:04
  He was on NFL.
• 3:05
  For sure.
• 3:06
  Yeah.
• 3:06
  It's awesome to have you on and you're an Ohio State fan.
• 3:09
  Yeah, I am.
• 3:09
  Go by guys, baby.
• 3:11
  A little upset this past weekend, man.
• 3:15
  But you know, we're going to take it on the stand.
• 3:16
  No anger there.
• 3:16
  No, no.
• 3:17
  There's nothing under the surface.
• 3:18
  Yeah, we got to get rid of Ryan Day, man.
• 3:21
  I think it's...
• 3:21
  Whoa.
• 3:22
  No, dude, I'm telling you.
• 3:23
  He...
• 3:24
  Four years?
• 3:26
  Like, this is like...
• 3:27
  You're setting the Buckeye history up for failure, man.
• 3:31
  You know, Urban gave you the torch.
• 3:35
  Yeah, he did.
• 3:36
  He just fumbled.
• 3:37
  Four years in a row, though, at that, like, we can't even get one.
• 3:39
  Calling for day.
• 3:40
  Unranked.
• 3:42
  Not as day anymore, I guess.
• 3:43
  There's a team.
• 3:44
  All right.
• 3:44
  Good to know.
• 3:45
  Michigan with their starting corner.
• 3:47
  Six and five, yeah.
• 3:48
  Right.
• 3:48
  Will Johnson's out.
• 3:50
  Come on, man.
• 3:51
  We got the best white-out corner in college football.
• 3:54
  Yeah.
• 3:55
  Mbuka, Smith.
• 3:56
  We got everybody.
• 3:57
  Come on, Tate.
• 3:58
  Like, come on, man.
• 3:59
  We got too many weapons.
• 4:00
  That game shouldn't even have been, like, close.
• 4:02
  That's why the spread was at 20.
• 4:03
  I was surprised.
• 4:04
  There you go.
• 4:04
  Yeah, but I mean, I know Michigan's always going to give it a fight, you know, ranked or not.
• 4:09
  And them dudes are some dogs, so hats off to them.
• 4:12
  Nice.
• 4:12
  So...
• 4:13
  Well, welcome to the pod.
• 4:14
  Yeah, welcome to the pod.
• 4:15
  There you go, Gridiron Updates fans.
• 4:16
  A little college action for you.
• 4:18
  Oh, yeah, for sure.
• 4:19
  Jake, welcome back to another episode.
• 4:21
  Glad to be back again.
• 4:22
  Yeah.
• 4:23
  Holding on to that seventh seed hard.
• 4:24
  Yeah.
• 4:26
  Your pick was right.
• 4:27
  It was, absolutely.
• 4:28
  Wasn't the Ravens.
• 4:29
  No, it wasn't.
• 4:30
  That's all right.
• 4:31
  At least you got it right.
• 4:34
  We'll get into it.
• 4:35
  He did get it right, though.
• 4:36
  He did get it right, but we'll get into that more.
• 4:38
  Of course, Rob, next to me.
• 4:40
  Rob just moved into a new house.
• 4:42
  Yes, I did.
• 4:42
  So I've been just lifting boxes over and over and taking directions, you know?
• 4:47
  Yep.
• 4:48
  I love that.
• 4:48
  Hey, hey, hey.
• 4:50
  Taking directions, Rob.
• 4:51
  It's a smart thing, gentlemen.
• 4:53
  Take notes.
• 4:54
  Take notes.
• 4:55
  Take notes.
• 4:56
  Rob says take notes and doing everything for us behind the screen, taking notes.
• 5:01
  Kev over there getting everything done for us.
• 5:03
  What's up, Kev?
• 5:04
  What up, Kev?
• 5:05
  With that, let's head right into our week four...
• 5:07
  I'm sorry, our week 13 game recaps.
• 5:10
  Getting ahead of myself.
• 5:22
  And of course, of course, like always, starting off our game recaps.
• 5:27
  Where's my...
• 5:29
  Oh, there it is.
• 5:31
  My cape flag.
• 5:32
  My flag's at the cape.
• 5:34
  Boom!
• 5:36
  Tad and two Vikings.
• 5:37
  23-22 win over the cards.
• 5:40
  10-2.
• 5:41
  Unbelievable.
• 5:42
  Two 10-win teams in the NFC North.
• 5:44
  We'll get to Detroit.
• 5:45
  Don't worry about it.
• 5:47
  But yeah, Vikings getting the dub.
• 5:49
  23-22.
• 5:49
  But it was close.
• 5:51
  It was very close.
• 5:52
  Was it you, though, that called for a major clapping of Arizona?
• 5:57
  I don't think so.
• 5:57
  No, I thought...
• 5:58
  Somebody last week...
• 6:00
  Not you.
• 6:01
  We'll have to check the tape.
• 6:02
  We got to check the tape.
• 6:03
  There goes my cape.
• 6:04
  But...
• 6:04
  Oh, that rhymes.
• 6:06
  But anyway, close game.
• 6:08
  Kyler Murray kind of showing us exactly what he's about.
• 6:11
  I mean, his escape ability is just ridiculous.
• 6:13
  His ability to extend the play.
• 6:16
  I mean, I think I watched him walk for like three or four first downs.
• 6:19
  I'm like, are you kidding me?
• 6:20
  Yeah.
• 6:21
  How do you not at some point...
• 6:22
  I think you brought this up in the video last night.
• 6:24
  How do you not at some point spy him or something?
• 6:27
  You know what I mean?
• 6:29
  They just could not contain him until the second half, apparently.
• 6:32
  But...
• 6:33
  Yeah, he's tough.
• 6:33
  I talked about it last week of how do you game plan against a mobile quarterback?
• 6:37
  It's one of the hardest things to do, you know?
• 6:39
  So either you want to rush him to get the ends up around the corner
• 6:43
  or do you just sit there and try to close that pocket?
• 6:46
  But that guy's escape ability is amazing.
• 6:49
  He's got a lead arm talent and Harrison Jr. is looking pretty good.
• 6:54
  So tough first half.
• 6:56
  And you know what?
• 6:56
  I'll give credit to the Cardinals defense.
• 6:58
  They came out and played that first half.
• 7:01
  I was surprised.
• 7:02
  But then, you know, the Vikings end up getting it done.
• 7:04
  Sam Darnold with another no interception, solid week.
• 7:07
  No interception tied for the lead for the team rushing on the day.
• 7:11
  They're 22 yards.
• 7:13
  But tied for the lead and rushing on the team.
• 7:16
  Oh my God.
• 7:17
  Aaron Jones, man, those two fumbles really seemed to affect him early.
• 7:22
  I'd imagine it was KOC's decision to sit him for a minute.
• 7:26
  But I didn't think it would be until the second half, you know?
• 7:30
  And then we saw him come back in
• 7:31
  and it was good to see him at the end of the game.
• 7:33
  Get that touchdown.
• 7:34
  You kind of just see, I mean, you know, he was relieved.
• 7:37
  He was able to come back with something.
• 7:39
  Yeah, yeah.
• 7:40
  That was pretty good.
• 7:41
  Yeah. Did you end up catching that game at all?
• 7:43
  Or yeah, I did.
• 7:44
  Actually, I think I caught it at halftime.
• 7:48
  It was a good time to tune in.
• 7:49
  Yeah, I know.
• 7:51
  I was checking out the stats, man.
• 7:54
  Yeah, I was actually shocked by Kyle O'Meary, man.
• 7:55
  He threw for what, 260?
• 7:57
  Yep.
• 7:58
  45 attempts.
• 7:59
  Yeah, that's a lot of attempts.
• 8:00
  Yeah, that's what I said.
• 8:01
  I'm like, God, like, that's what, like, he, like, when he throws it.
• 8:04
  And they still ran the ball 31 times.
• 8:05
  Yeah.
• 8:06
  Like, you're throwing it that much, you're feeling comfortable.
• 8:10
  Like, there's no way you're throwing it 50 times.
• 8:12
  And what, I think he didn't have many,
• 8:14
  he probably had like, what, 40 yards rushing, maybe?
• 8:16
  Not even.
• 8:17
  Oh, I didn't even see it.
• 8:18
  Yeah, yeah, but yeah, he just extended the play out.
• 8:20
  48, yeah.
• 8:21
  It was the timing of those runs.
• 8:23
  Just like, just like, David Arnold, he only ran for 22 yards.
• 8:26
  But like, his runs were crucial at that point.
• 8:28
  No, for sure.
• 8:29
  Yeah, I second that too.
• 8:30
  That's the hard part, like, back to your point of game planning for some of that.
• 8:34
  You know what I mean?
• 8:34
  So difficult.
• 8:35
  What, what are you seeing from Marvin Harrison?
• 8:39
  I mean, obviously, he seems to be more consistent every game.
• 8:42
  I mean, becoming more and more of a big down the field threat.
• 8:46
  He had that nice tug in the back of the end zone.
• 8:48
  Yeah, that was, that was much like his father.
• 8:51
  Yeah.
• 8:52
  I mean, I was like, that's his dad right there.
• 8:53
  Yeah, beautiful, beautiful body control.
• 8:55
  Yeah.
• 8:56
  Keeping the feet in.
• 8:57
  Unbelievable.
• 8:59
  I wasn't even mad.
• 9:00
  I was like, what are you going to do?
• 9:01
  I think he, so he obviously, Marvin Harrison Jr. still has like a lot of room to grow and develop.
• 9:07
  For sure he does.
• 9:08
  Yeah.
• 9:08
  He didn't come back on a couple balls that he should have come back to help the quarterback out.
• 9:13
  So, but there's, Trey McBride is there as balled out again.
• 9:20
  Yeah, 12 catches.
• 9:21
  Yeah, two weeks in a row.
• 9:25
  So, they're waiting for that to happen though.
• 9:27
  He wasn't doing that early, but.
• 9:29
  Right.
• 9:29
  There's a lot that Marvin Harrison Jr. can learn from him to improve his game to help out Kyler Murray,
• 9:35
  especially when the play breaks down, Murray's out of the pocket scrambling.
• 9:40
  That's like, you're either going deep or you're heading like straight to the sideline or you're running straight like back towards him.
• 9:47
  Do you think that's because he went to Ohio State and all he ran was deep runs the whole time?
• 9:53
  Nobody can guard you and go deep man.
• 9:55
  Brings you back to popcorn days.
• 9:57
  What do you mean?
• 9:57
  This is not a streak route.
• 9:59
  I don't even know what's a curl coach.
• 10:03
  D'Angelo, just because you're a Lions fan, I got to ask you, what are your thoughts on Sam Darnold to play, you know, as of late?
• 10:09
  I mean, the whole season really.
• 10:10
  Really?
• 10:11
  I feel like, I mean, he came in hot, you know, he's been showing some consistency.
• 10:17
  I feel like, you know, he's made minimal errors here and there.
• 10:22
  But.
• 10:24
  Has he done enough for you to like garner?
• 10:26
  Like I keep comparing it to a Geno Smith situation, like a three year Geno Smith type of deal.
• 10:32
  Journeyman at this point.
• 10:33
  I think.
• 10:35
  No, I don't know, man.
• 10:38
  Geno's been balling this year.
• 10:39
  It's like when you think, you know, someone spiraling down as far as their career, you know, he was going that way.
• 10:48
  Yeah, no, he definitely was.
• 10:49
  You know, Russell got out of there.
• 10:51
  He took the step in and he's been playing man.
• 10:54
  Hats off to him though, he's definitely been showboating, you know, that clutch win against Sam Fran.
• 10:58
  You know, he was comfortable once again.
• 11:01
  You know, once you get comfortable in those situations, you become deadly because like people underestimate you, you know, and it's like that's what they did.
• 11:08
  I mean, I was watching the game.
• 11:09
  I'm like, there's no way Geno drives the ball down and win and he walked it in.
• 11:13
  Yeah, he ran it in.
• 11:14
  He won the touchdown.
• 11:15
  So it's like, man, dude, it's like having that dog, that dog mentality.
• 11:19
  And that's exactly what JJ said at the end or before the game, actually, before kickoff.
• 11:23
  It was like an hour and a half kickoff.
• 11:24
  They interviewed JJ or whatever as he's walking in and he said something about like, you know, you're not necessarily underdog in this game, but like there's a lot of people
• 11:32
  counting against the legs.
• 11:33
  I don't care. Yeah, essentially like I love that.
• 11:36
  You know what I mean?
• 11:36
  And he was not touching the ball that first half and he still ended up with ninety nine.
• 11:41
  Yeah. Yeah.
• 11:42
  I mean, that clutch, I don't know.
• 11:44
  Where do you think?
• 11:45
  How do you get so wide open on that?
• 11:47
  It's just just like all of the people are going to cover on a fourth down
• 11:52
  play. That should be the guy.
• 11:54
  They well, they were showing a six man.
• 11:56
  They were showing a zero.
• 11:57
  They look like they're a blitz.
• 11:58
  And then if you remember the play, Addison comes in motion.
• 12:02
  And so then Sam Darner goes, oh, I know they're in zone because nobody followed him.
• 12:07
  And then he knew that he was running that little hook.
• 12:09
  And if you see Addison's road, he kicks out the corner on it.
• 12:13
  I mean, it's designed for him to be wide open.
• 12:16
  Yeah, it was designed to go to JJ the whole time.
• 12:18
  Especially when you're playing zone, you know.
• 12:20
  Yeah.
• 12:21
  Yeah, you still should have like been closer on that.
• 12:25
  Yeah.
• 12:26
  It's tough. Right.
• 12:28
  But yeah, no, it depends.
• 12:30
  Yeah, it's tough. It just felt like he was.
• 12:32
  Everything happened so fast.
• 12:33
  No, it didn't.
• 12:35
  I was honestly shocked.
• 12:36
  They went for it.
• 12:37
  I was going to try to, you know, kick the field goal.
• 12:39
  I was I was hoping we'd go for it.
• 12:42
  Yeah. But I mean, it worked out.
• 12:45
  Worked out. Worked out.
• 12:46
  Got the dub twenty three, twenty two.
• 12:48
  Yeah, buddy.
• 12:49
  Moving right along.
• 12:50
  We got Miami traveling to Green Bay.
• 12:54
  Chilly game.
• 12:55
  Chilly, chilly game.
• 12:57
  A lot of people think that played a factor.
• 12:59
  For sure.
• 13:00
  You did.
• 13:01
  The only fella that I saw come onto the field, though, for pregame warm up.
• 13:05
  So they were showing.
• 13:07
  I can't remember if this was a real or short, whatever.
• 13:09
  They're showing Green Bay warming up.
• 13:10
  Everybody's just in normal game uniform, whatever.
• 13:12
  Not even long sleeves or nothing, just normal game uniform.
• 13:15
  And then they show the Miami Dolphins warming up and everybody's in sweatshirts,
• 13:19
  sweatpants, no pads on, you know, no helmet, nothing, just like trying to stay warm.
• 13:23
  Then you see Tyreek come out in his sleeveless with shorts on and stuff.
• 13:27
  Yeah. I mean, he played in Kansas City, you know.
• 13:30
  So he was probably the only one not really affected by that.
• 13:32
  But they did look cold.
• 13:34
  And I can't remember who it was.
• 13:35
  Somebody defensively for the Dolphins.
• 13:37
  I can't remember.
• 13:39
  I think they came out and said, like, yeah, like our players looked looked cold.
• 13:43
  We were not playing.
• 13:44
  Yeah. You know, at the top of our.
• 13:46
  Then you're not thinking about your assignments and everything else.
• 13:48
  And you're mentally, yeah, exactly.
• 13:50
  It's like, all right, let's just get out of here.
• 13:54
  And I mean, that game got out of hand quickly.
• 13:57
  Fourteen points in the first.
• 13:58
  I mean, it was what?
• 13:59
  Twenty four to three and a half.
• 14:01
  Yeah. And and I think the Dolphins decided
• 14:04
  they didn't want to come out of the locker room the second half.
• 14:07
  But I mean, they kind of made they still move the ball.
• 14:10
  I mean, yeah, hats off to two of them, man.
• 14:12
  You know, throwing for three, three sixty five to tell you.
• 14:15
  Yeah. Yeah.
• 14:16
  He definitely had garbage that second half.
• 14:19
  Yeah. I mean, he was trying to know for sure.
• 14:22
  But I definitely thought he wasn't going to have that much in the air.
• 14:25
  I guess the Packers and I for sure.
• 14:27
  I thought it would be more of a run game for them.
• 14:29
  And they just they couldn't get it done early.
• 14:31
  And then when you go down, 14, nothing in the first quarter.
• 14:34
  Now you got it. Yeah.
• 14:35
  Pressing a ball.
• 14:36
  Yeah. Yeah.
• 14:36
  You start pressing a little more probably a little earlier than you
• 14:39
  than you really should.
• 14:40
  I mean, even 14, nothing in the first quarter.
• 14:42
  I mean, yeah, it's early.
• 14:43
  I know you can't quite go away from your from your game script,
• 14:47
  if you will yet.
• 14:48
  But I don't know.
• 14:50
  I'm no coach.
• 14:51
  I mean, so let's see here.
• 14:53
  But Josh Jacobs getting his 20 20 almost 20 carries.
• 14:57
  You got 19, 19, 43 yards.
• 15:00
  Yeah. A little little off game from him again.
• 15:02
  Chilly for catches when it gets that cold.
• 15:04
  You know, he did though.
• 15:06
  Yeah. The scrimmage yards are good for.
• 15:07
  They pass the ball really well.
• 15:08
  They were really did when they just 28 attempts.
• 15:12
  And Jordan was super efficient with it.
• 15:14
  And that was the word I was looking for.
• 15:15
  But yeah, they they just got the job done.
• 15:18
  No mistakes from him. No picks. No sacks.
• 15:20
  Yeah. You know, any fumbles this week from J Love?
• 15:23
  No, no, no, no, no.
• 15:25
  Falling sideways, huddling the ball down the field this week.
• 15:28
  He's starting to look a little bit more healthy.
• 15:30
  Yeah, I think that growing.
• 15:32
  He's looking a little more.
• 15:33
  Which should disturb us and you.
• 15:36
  I mean, the Packers, yeah, they're he says, nah, yes, the Packers are 93.
• 15:41
  But I mean, that's tough.
• 15:42
  They got a tough game this week.
• 15:44
  Yeah, yeah. Like they I I don't know.
• 15:46
  I'm not saying who I'm picking yet,
• 15:47
  but the Packers could absolutely come out and win this game.
• 15:50
  They could. They're definitely.
• 15:51
  I mean, like, you know, when it's kind of the opposite now,
• 15:56
  because, you know, with the Lions, you always are looking to upset someone season.
• 15:59
  Yeah. You know, past history, you know, you guys been kind of.
• 16:03
  But but, you know, it's like we're on top now.
• 16:07
  It's like when you're on top, you got to start looking like, hey, man, we got to,
• 16:10
  you know, we're not finished.
• 16:12
  You know, we got to go out there, give it 110 percent.
• 16:15
  You know, Jay Love, man, he's definitely a threat.
• 16:17
  The Packers didn't pay him all that money for no reason.
• 16:19
  Oh, you know, so the Lions definitely want that one.
• 16:22
  See, oh, no, you know, everybody does.
• 16:24
  They want that for it.
• 16:26
  But Packers looked good.
• 16:27
  You know, I was really impressed with them overall.
• 16:29
  I actually I picked Miami because they're coming off a little heater there.
• 16:32
  But that weather was a different changer in that.
• 16:34
  And then I think McKinney and a plane did.
• 16:37
  And yeah, yeah.
• 16:38
  So that helped on the back end.
• 16:40
  Yeah. So yeah, I thought he was a I think that was my pick.
• 16:43
  If they both don't play, I wanted to the Dolphins.
• 16:46
  But at the time, it is what it is.
• 16:48
  Yeah, I ended up falling victim to the the cold weather narrative.
• 16:52
  Yeah. It's like, oh, the Dolphins are coming in hot.
• 16:55
  They'll be fine. Yeah.
• 16:56
  And then no, it's cold weather. We're just not going to.
• 16:59
  Yeah. And I hate to use that as an excuse.
• 17:01
  You know, they're professionals.
• 17:02
  They know they're going to play in some cold weather at some point
• 17:05
  towards the end of the season.
• 17:06
  But but that's reality.
• 17:07
  It did seem to be well, that's that is reality.
• 17:10
  You're practicing in Miami, of all places in this country to practice.
• 17:13
  Like and now you got to go play in.
• 17:15
  They literally call it the frozen tundra.
• 17:17
  You know what I mean? So what are you going to do about that?
• 17:20
  But no, for sure. Packers get in the dub 30 to 17.
• 17:23
  They now go to nine and three still third place in the NFC North, right
• 17:27
  where they belong, right where they belong.
• 17:31
  Miami, though, still trying to make a case for that.
• 17:34
  That wild card that is not looking good.
• 17:36
  Kind of wide open. You said Baltimore's in seventh right now.
• 17:39
  You see, yeah. So they're like three games out.
• 17:41
  Yeah, it's looking rough right now.
• 17:43
  And all three are up here last week saying Miami could make the playoffs.
• 17:47
  Yeah, it sure did.
• 17:49
  If they win that game, they totally can.
• 17:52
  You don't get grouped in all three because you weren't here last week.
• 17:55
  Oh, yeah. Yeah.
• 17:56
  I want to pick Miami anyways. I've seen a stat that.
• 17:59
  Well, sure. Now, I'm saying, of course, they say like two is
• 18:03
  oh, and eight when playing in like below like 40 degrees.
• 18:07
  That's interesting. No doubt.
• 18:09
  Yeah. We have a stat.
• 18:10
  Yeah. Where's our stat nerd?
• 18:12
  The crazy stats.
• 18:14
  But yeah, with that green bag win in 30 17 moving to game three of our week
• 18:18
  13, we had Philly traveling to Baltimore.
• 18:22
  Move that game had everything we thought it would have really.
• 18:25
  Yeah, sure did.
• 18:26
  Why don't you just take it away, Jake?
• 18:28
  What are you what are you disappointed about or are you an Eagles fan now?
• 18:31
  You made the switch.
• 18:33
  I took off to Baltimore.
• 18:35
  This is the moment. He's coming out.
• 18:38
  This is your opportunity.
• 18:40
  No, no, put it back on.
• 18:43
  We're not the bomb little snowman fans.
• 18:47
  Hey, just attacking him.
• 18:49
  Thanks for being on the show, Jake.
• 18:50
  Yeah, you're welcome. I still love you, Jake.
• 18:52
  I love you too, Rob.
• 18:55
  So football. Yeah, football.
• 18:58
  And biggest concern, Justin Tucker's three missed kicks.
• 19:02
  Oh, yeah.
• 19:03
  And he had three missed the week before.
• 19:06
  Two to two.
• 19:07
  He's trending in the wrong way.
• 19:09
  So he's trending in the he's trending in the wrong direction on the on the upside.
• 19:15
  The Ravens finally get their bye week.
• 19:17
  Long awaited week 14.
• 19:18
  That's like the worst.
• 19:20
  Well, maybe week four is the worst.
• 19:22
  But unless you're playing Lamar and Henry and fantasy football this week.
• 19:25
  You're still eight and five coming out.
• 19:27
  Right. So that guy's me.
• 19:30
  That extra week off hopefully is going to allow Justin Tucker to kind of rethink things,
• 19:35
  get his mind right.
• 19:36
  Harbaugh's backing him 100 percent now still and an experienced vet.
• 19:41
  You need to do that.
• 19:43
  You saw that even with the Vikings with KOC is like, hey, Aaron Jones, you had a bad first half.
• 19:49
  We need you now. Get back in there.
• 19:52
  And then you got it got himself a game winning Tuddy.
• 19:54
  So so you're you're seasoned really good coaches still have a whole bunch of confidence there.
• 20:00
  The Ravens defense really showed up this week to they did.
• 20:05
  Finally. Yeah.
• 20:06
  Holding Saquon to like 57 yards for the first three quarters.
• 20:10
  And then that's one of those stats that are stack.
• 20:16
  I was the first three quarters.
• 20:19
  And the best defense in three quarters.
• 20:21
  Then the wheels kind of fell off.
• 20:23
  I'll say one's going to say one. Yeah.
• 20:24
  And another 57 and then the touchdown in the fourth.
• 20:28
  But that's another promising thing because that defense has really struggled against a lot of teams.
• 20:33
  So good Eagles offense and holding Saquon, the now the league leader in rushing.
• 20:42
  So, yeah, there's all sucks that we lost.
• 20:46
  But I think that there's still some good out of it for sure.
• 20:49
  And again, coming out of the buy at eight and five.
• 20:52
  The Steelers play the Browns this weekend.
• 20:54
  So if they do lose, which I mean, I don't.
• 20:57
  OK, so I do really like Jamis.
• 21:01
  I last night how they ended that game.
• 21:03
  And I was so bad.
• 21:05
  I was so pissed at Jamis.
• 21:07
  I was like, dude, what are you?
• 21:08
  And I had no skin in that game.
• 21:10
  Unbelievable. What a great game.
• 21:12
  But yeah, we're getting off track.
• 21:13
  But so but but if the Browns beat the Steelers, you know, you know,
• 21:17
  yeah, concern concern, though, and the ugly thing is the the Ravens are one of four teams that have three games in 10 days.
• 21:27
  That's brutal. It is brutal.
• 21:29
  Yeah, it's like the yeah, the four teams that are playing on Christmas.
• 21:33
  So you got Texans, Ravens and then the other the other Christmas game like those four teams are three games in 10 days.
• 21:41
  It's just rough. It is rough.
• 21:43
  It's nice, though. You got to rebound against the Giants.
• 21:45
  Yeah. And then you got Pittsburgh, Houston, Cleveland to finish out.
• 21:49
  Right. Yeah. Ouch.
• 21:50
  Yeah, it's stuff. I mean, honestly, Cleveland's still not easy.
• 21:54
  I mean, yeah, yeah.
• 21:56
  It's two and two here in the playoffs because they're probably not winning the division at this point.
• 22:01
  Well, who are those?
• 22:03
  Who are the two wins against?
• 22:05
  Is one of them? I see if I said the Giants in Cleveland and then they say they lose to Houston and Pittsburgh.
• 22:11
  OK, well, if they do that, then yeah, they're definitely not winning the division.
• 22:13
  But they they would still play out.
• 22:15
  I mean, three and one and they're contending.
• 22:18
  But yeah, so I don't know.
• 22:20
  I think they got to win that Pittsburgh game.
• 22:22
  Yeah, I think that'd be a big one.
• 22:24
  Yes. But looking at the help, but looking at the would would help looking at the Eagles, though, 10 and two.
• 22:32
  They seem to do. Yes, Saquon's doing his thing.
• 22:35
  And that's just pure insanity.
• 22:38
  But they seem to be doing just enough with the rest of their offense.
• 22:42
  I guess the only other part of it is the passing part, right?
• 22:45
  Yeah. But with the passing game, they seem to be doing just enough to get by and get the win, which is.
• 22:51
  Kind of startling to me because they're not really pressing the issue in the passing game, and it's like,
• 22:56
  I don't know, I I still don't like Jalen Hurts still has a little bit of postseason magic to me.
• 23:01
  Still, it's not a quarterback. I necessarily want to see the postseason.
• 23:04
  Yeah, I think I am a little bit more scared of the Lions,
• 23:08
  but what the Eagles have done halfway through this season completely changed their trajectory for the season.
• 23:14
  No, for sure. And that defense is just starting to get scary for me.
• 23:18
  I've been preaching about that defense for the last three years when they start building it all of Georgia players.
• 23:22
  But it's just like they all know each other. Eventually, it's just it's going to work out.
• 23:26
  I don't know. I've been sold on that for a minute, but I don't know.
• 23:30
  Are the Eagles concerning to you? Like if the Vikes had to play the Eagle like, oh, for sure.
• 23:33
  They're really their defense.
• 23:35
  I think their defense is better than their offense, actually, at this point.
• 23:38
  Oh, yeah, I would agree.
• 23:39
  I mean, Barkley sets it up.
• 23:42
  I still don't trust Jalen Hurts if I'm down by 17 points to come back,
• 23:47
  even though they have the skill set for anybody.
• 23:50
  It is, but he's still not that that.
• 23:53
  You're taking Sam Darny.
• 23:54
  You know, he's he's really good at the play action.
• 23:58
  So you're taking Sam Darny down 17 over Jalen Hurts?
• 24:04
  I think they're both the same.
• 24:06
  Oh, OK. Interesting.
• 24:08
  I give Jalen the coin flip for me.
• 24:11
  OK, interesting. Very enough.
• 24:12
  I think Sam's I mean, got a better overall NFL like touch arm.
• 24:18
  I think I think Jalen throws a little more fastballs.
• 24:21
  I second that. You know, he doesn't have a lot of touch, you know, compared to Sam.
• 24:26
  But also Jalen has the legs that kind of compensates the little bit of difference
• 24:32
  of the passing ability. So that's why I kind of think they're a wash.
• 24:35
  And I'm not trying to ruin the Eagle season here or Barclays life, but
• 24:41
  just saying I'll knock on wood for you Eagles fan.
• 24:44
  Oh, as a Vikings fan, if they lose, I know that's what I do.
• 24:48
  I know if it's more for Saquon, because I'd feel bad.
• 24:51
  If Saquon goes down with an injury before the playoffs start.
• 24:56
  Are the Eagles are they just as scary?
• 24:59
  No, no, yeah, not at all. Not at all.
• 25:02
  Not not even the same team.
• 25:04
  We're talking about a guy that's hurtling backwards.
• 25:08
  Yeah, defense will keep him in the game.
• 25:12
  So I mean, I don't think they'd be as dominant.
• 25:14
  Yeah, like you said, the defense would keep them in some games
• 25:17
  and they still have some receivers and skill.
• 25:21
  But I think the Eagles are the best when they run the ball and play action.
• 25:25
  Yeah, for sure. So it would be a big loss.
• 25:27
  It would not happen. That has not happened.
• 25:30
  You did not hear it here first.
• 25:31
  Saquon Barkley is playing this weekend as far as we know.
• 25:34
  But the Eagles getting the job 24 19 Eagles
• 25:38
  starting to run away with that division a little bit at 10 and to Washington
• 25:42
  right behind him at eight and five Baltimore just trying to get to that
• 25:45
  wild card at this point.
• 25:46
  But hey, Pittsburgh loses this week. Game on for the division.
• 25:49
  Yeah, game on for the division.
• 25:51
  Moving on to game four of our week 13 recaps
• 25:55
  that the other teams in that division Pittsburgh traveling to Cincinnati.
• 26:01
  A game that I thought that the Bengals actually had a chance in
• 26:03
  and truly it felt they never honestly had a chance.
• 26:07
  Now, it's like a track me like the whole game.
• 26:08
  I mean, yeah, they were within like two scores almost the whole time.
• 26:12
  But like that cushion is just not good enough for me to like,
• 26:15
  you know, feel confident about them.
• 26:17
  And at this point, I think that's just the end of the Bengals season.
• 26:21
  Yes, they did. All right.
• 26:22
  I mean, what would you say six games left? Five, five games.
• 26:25
  I mean, even if they win out, it's probably not going to be enough.
• 26:29
  No, they're out. I mean, I think they're what?
• 26:31
  They're four games out of the wild card right now.
• 26:33
  Yeah. So they got like, what, a 2% chance?
• 26:36
  Yeah. Just insanely low.
• 26:37
  Baltimore can't lose this.
• 26:38
  So before we even touch on Pittsburgh, we know they're winning the division.
• 26:42
  We've already talked about them a little bit here today.
• 26:44
  But I mean, Cincinnati, what are what are they looking at?
• 26:48
  I mean, you see them a lot, Jake.
• 26:49
  What are what are they looking at, you know, heading in the next season?
• 26:52
  Well, they got a fix there.
• 26:54
  I mean, they have to shore up their defense.
• 26:56
  100% always the biggest thing.
• 26:58
  Yeah, that's they're not getting enough pressure on the quarterbacks right now.
• 27:02
  So you need another edge rusher with Hendricks.
• 27:05
  Hopefully he's going to stay.
• 27:07
  You don't know at this point.
• 27:09
  He's he do for money for a bag?
• 27:11
  I think he's a decent bag for.
• 27:14
  Yeah. Yeah.
• 27:15
  He's one of the better.
• 27:17
  He's probably going to be asking for it.
• 27:18
  I just love the league in sacks or he's currently leading the league in sacks
• 27:22
  right now. I think you are correct.
• 27:24
  So he's do money or he's earned more money.
• 27:30
  But they need somebody on the other side and there's
• 27:34
  there. They need to like work on the secondary to just like sure that up.
• 27:40
  It's it's tough.
• 27:42
  The only thing I'll say about their secondary this game is
• 27:45
  all Cam Taylor Britt had the cleanest hit of the week on Frickin.
• 27:50
  Who was it? Oh, yeah, I saw that was a good hit on Calvin Austin.
• 27:52
  The nerd or whatever. Really? I don't think I caught that hit.
• 27:55
  He laid him out clean. Oh, OK.
• 27:58
  Before we leave, you got to see that man.
• 27:59
  That was cool.
• 28:00
  I mean, just full on clean by the book.
• 28:03
  Yes. Lays his shoulder into him.
• 28:04
  Oh, yeah. Anyway, that's about all they can write.
• 28:08
  Home about that game.
• 28:09
  But yeah, yeah, I'm not seeing I'm seeing if I could find Trey
• 28:13
  Hendricks is.
• 28:15
  Yeah, but you know what?
• 28:16
  Russell Wilson's playing some good football.
• 28:18
  Yeah, he I mean, he threw the ball 38 times to 10
• 28:23
  different targets.
• 28:24
  That's what I was going to piggyback off that.
• 28:27
  That is impressive.
• 28:28
  And also is really interesting in the stat line is eight of the 10 receivers
• 28:33
  had catches over 20 yards.
• 28:36
  So like plus 20 yard plays.
• 28:38
  So they're throwing the ball downfield.
• 28:40
  That's Russell Wilson getting more comfortable, which is kind of a scary thing.
• 28:43
  It is. We were talking about why are you even starting Russell Wilson
• 28:47
  when you went out and got Justin Fields?
• 28:49
  Yeah. You know, Justin Fields is getting hot towards the end of last season.
• 28:51
  So it's just like, you know, you'd think and we saw Russell Wilson
• 28:55
  struggle heavily in Denver last year.
• 28:57
  Struggle to make where this is starting to look like some seehawk like
• 29:02
  we know he still has arm strength.
• 29:04
  We saw every week at least one miss at super deep.
• 29:07
  You're just like, that's ridiculous.
• 29:08
  Yeah. You know, but we're starting.
• 29:11
  It's starting to get scary for the AFC, to be honest with you,
• 29:13
  because it's like if he becomes a sliver of what he was in Seattle, I mean,
• 29:16
  you know, minus the famous pick, right in the Super Bowl.
• 29:19
  But other than that, like that was Pete Carroll.
• 29:22
  Still, yes. The dude still a Super Bowl winning quarterback.
• 29:25
  You know, MVP, even I think was he Super Bowl MVP when they won.
• 29:28
  I can't remember.
• 29:29
  I feel like that could have been a defensive MVP that year, too.
• 29:31
  But it was a was that can Chandler?
• 29:35
  Yeah, that's what I mean.
• 29:36
  I think it was defense.
• 29:38
  But either way, yeah, they've totally offensively.
• 29:43
  The Steelers have totally flipped the script as well.
• 29:45
  Kind of like what we were just talking about with the Eagles.
• 29:47
  The Steelers have completely changed and like their offense is starting to get
• 29:50
  more scary. Naji Harris is starting to get more consistent,
• 29:53
  which they needed that big. You don't think so?
• 29:55
  Man, dude, he's I don't know, man.
• 29:58
  I feel like he he has not been showcasing the talent that he has.
• 30:03
  There's I feel like he's less agile.
• 30:07
  That's great.
• 30:08
  He he's not as elusive as he used to be.
• 30:12
  Explosive is what I'm thinking. Yeah, that too.
• 30:15
  I mean, like when's the last time he broke out for like a 25 yarder?
• 30:18
  I don't know if he really had a 20 yarder this week.
• 30:20
  I mean, yeah, but that's like exactly.
• 30:23
  Yeah, he's definitely is slotted more now into that powerback.
• 30:27
  Yeah, that's right. Yeah.
• 30:28
  Yeah, where he was like a more of a mix kind of he wasn't
• 30:31
  he wasn't fully like an elusive back coming out of Bama.
• 30:34
  Right. As Bama, I mean, but he was still like, yeah, yeah.
• 30:37
  He had to speed. The speed was there.
• 30:39
  I feel like I've been I've been liking Warren more.
• 30:42
  Yeah, he's been scared.
• 30:44
  Yeah, he gives you that.
• 30:45
  It's a good one to punch.
• 30:46
  Yeah, it's not your enlightening.
• 30:47
  Yeah. Yeah.
• 30:48
  You know, yeah.
• 30:49
  Let Nodger bully him a little bit and then you give it to Warren
• 30:51
  out on the outside zone or something.
• 30:53
  Yeah. Like watch out.
• 30:55
  Yeah, he's super scary.
• 30:56
  And you can turn it on.
• 30:57
  But and then of course,
• 31:00
  if we're talking about the Steelers, we got mentioned George Pickens.
• 31:02
  Oh, my gosh. Oh, yeah.
• 31:03
  He's a stud. What a goofball.
• 31:05
  Yeah, he is.
• 31:07
  You love him and you hate him.
• 31:08
  Same play. Yeah.
• 31:10
  Yeah. Unbelievable.
• 31:12
  Don't don't get me wrong.
• 31:12
  We'll we'll have a little
• 31:15
  thought process about him.
• 31:16
  A little thought.
• 31:17
  Yeah. I'll nugget him in a minute.
• 31:19
  Yeah. A little nugget.
• 31:21
  But moving right along to our final game of the week, 13 game recaps.
• 31:26
  We had the L.A. chargers traveling to Atlanta.
• 31:30
  A lot of us actually told took the chargers, but, you know, a lot of
• 31:35
  a lot of the experts were feeling Atlanta on this.
• 31:39
  And her cousins came out and gave everybody four picks.
• 31:43
  And did the did the other bad picks.
• 31:46
  Yeah, he did the other.
• 31:48
  He did the other.
• 31:49
  Um, I remember those days.
• 31:52
  I don't know.
• 31:53
  Do you miss him?
• 31:54
  No, I try to block him out.
• 31:56
  I got to go back to my therapist.
• 31:58
  I mean, I mean, this has just got to be a bad game for Kirk.
• 32:02
  I'll be the savior for him.
• 32:04
  Like, you know, who do they got next week?
• 32:06
  I you know, they have an opportunity to bounce back.
• 32:08
  Oh, yeah.
• 32:10
  They don't have an opportunity to bounce back.
• 32:12
  Never mind.
• 32:14
  In two weeks, they have an opportunity.
• 32:15
  He has an opportunity to bounce back.
• 32:17
  It's not going to happen in the bank.
• 32:19
  But there's been rumblings where people are like, should they think about
• 32:22
  starting pennix at some point?
• 32:24
  Like and we talked about a little bit on the video last night.
• 32:26
  And it's just like, well, you're right there.
• 32:29
  You know, they're in first place and they're in the playoffs.
• 32:32
  So why don't go to your rookie quarterback?
• 32:35
  Why would you make that move?
• 32:36
  It's way too late.
• 32:37
  Mostly just fans, you know, like Falcons fans are like, oh, I don't know.
• 32:41
  But obviously, B John's a force back there to
• 32:46
  had himself a solid day, of course.
• 32:48
  But Chargers somehow sneak in, sneak in by.
• 32:52
  Definitely snuck that one. Interceptions help.
• 32:54
  Well, they well, that's that's the part I wanted to touch on.
• 32:58
  That's rather disappointing is with four picks, you mustered 17 points.
• 33:03
  Yeah. Yeah. I think that's a concern.
• 33:05
  Yeah, I'm very concerned about the Chargers.
• 33:08
  Once Dobbins has gone out, that whole offense is put on the brakes.
• 33:12
  So what do you think they're going to be looking for this off season?
• 33:14
  You know, some sort of agile playmaking running back from Boise State.
• 33:18
  Oh, OK. I'm on board with that.
• 33:21
  Yeah. He slips with the Vikings. I'm in, but.
• 33:25
  Yeah, right. Right.
• 33:27
  But yeah, no, seriously.
• 33:28
  And we touched on it last week when Dobbins is missing,
• 33:31
  the offense just looks completely different.
• 33:34
  It's not like Gus Edwards had that bad of a day, but it's just it's not the same.
• 33:37
  He's not the same style of running.
• 33:40
  He doesn't give you that same electricity.
• 33:42
  He's not going to hit the home run. No, no. So
• 33:46
  McConkey, though.
• 33:47
  Man, make it a name for yourself.
• 33:49
  Yeah, I like McConkey, you know, last few weeks.
• 33:52
  He's done.
• 33:53
  He kind of reminds me of a little bit of Cooper.
• 33:55
  Little bit of Cooper.
• 33:56
  Play style.
• 33:57
  Cooper Cup. I mean, similarity or like a young feeling.
• 34:00
  Young deal. OK. Fair enough.
• 34:02
  Young dealing. How did you feel about Adam Thielen as a Lions fan?
• 34:06
  Oh, just did enough to bug you.
• 34:08
  Yeah, no, he did.
• 34:09
  Man. Oh, my God.
• 34:11
  Did you see that catch?
• 34:12
  Yeah. That's what was at a fourth downplay down.
• 34:16
  Yeah. Like so it was like he was doing it out
• 34:20
  and it was inside.
• 34:21
  So he had a turn in any one hand and the deal and didn't touch the ground or anything.
• 34:28
  It was pretty. I thought it was over with for the bucks after that.
• 34:30
  I'm like, oh, my. All right. They deserve it.
• 34:32
  But, you know, a young quarterback guy.
• 34:35
  Price. No, yeah, no, he he definitely he definitely played a better game.
• 34:39
  For sure. He definitely did.
• 34:40
  Last four games he's been he's been playing. Yeah.
• 34:43
  But at least there's some like hope.
• 34:46
  All right. We see the potential. Right.
• 34:49
  Well, Chargers getting the dub 1713, keeping their hope alive
• 34:53
  for a playoff run, looking like they could probably get into a wild card.
• 34:57
  They do have a big division game this week.
• 34:59
  Yeah. Probably not looking good for the Chargers this week with that offense.
• 35:03
  They show up now against not a city like that.
• 35:05
  It's just not going to happen.
• 35:07
  So they really need Dobbins back.
• 35:09
  But with that, Kev, let's head right into our tent talk.
• 35:14
  That talk.
• 35:17
  Nine one one. What's your emergency?
• 35:19
  And to start off our tent talk, probably horns up horns up
• 35:31
  to start off our tent talk, probably the the biggest one.
• 35:35
  CMC to the IR for at least six weeks, if not potentially season
• 35:40
  ending completely with a PCL injury.
• 35:43
  And then they're like, oh, well, we got Mason.
• 35:45
  No, he's also the IR with an ankle injury, so that's a minimum four weeks.
• 35:50
  Taysom Hill for the Saints, torn ACL, done for the season.
• 35:54
  Sucks to see him go down like that.
• 35:57
  Just one of those utility guys put him anywhere.
• 35:59
  Trevor Lawrence.
• 36:00
  Don't worry, we'll touch on Trevor Lawrence in a little bit.
• 36:03
  But he goes down with a concussion.
• 36:05
  I wonder why Hollywood Brown
• 36:08
  could actually rejoin the Chiefs before the end of the regular season.
• 36:11
  That'd be huge for them right before they head into the playoffs.
• 36:17
  A little bit of news here.
• 36:18
  Matt Eberfluss gone. He gone. He's fired.
• 36:21
  But we're all waiting for that.
• 36:24
  Don't worry, we'll circle back on that in a minute.
• 36:28
  Dable currently not concerned about his job status kind of being hot.
• 36:33
  We've talked about Mike McCarthy as well, maybe being a little hot,
• 36:35
  and nobody seems concerned right now.
• 36:37
  So well, they've won the last week or two, right?
• 36:41
  Yeah, Dallas, I think that what?
• 36:44
  We'll get we'll all get to Dallas again, too,
• 36:45
  because I got some to say about Michael Parsons.
• 36:49
  Bill's clinched their division.
• 36:51
  No surprise really there.
• 36:52
  Graduation circle the wagons.
• 36:54
  Yeah, whatever.
• 36:56
  Bill's Mafia. Let's roll.
• 36:57
  But it's nothing they're not used to.
• 36:58
  They win divisions.
• 37:00
  They just can't get over that hump like the Vikings. Unbelievable.
• 37:04
  Andrew Luck makes return to football with Stanford as their GM.
• 37:09
  Oh, he's not playing quarterback.
• 37:10
  He's not playing quarterback.
• 37:13
  People are like, why do you need a GM for college football team?
• 37:16
  Well, yeah, you got 75 some recruits.
• 37:18
  You know, there's a lot.
• 37:19
  There's a lot of organization.
• 37:20
  He's kind of like I looked it up.
• 37:22
  They're kind of like the right hand man to the head coach of a
• 37:25
  of a college football team, which I didn't even know a GM for college
• 37:28
  football existed until this happened.
• 37:30
  I think it's like a new 2021 is when they implemented that.
• 37:33
  So, yeah, super new.
• 37:35
  Oh, he's just a recruiter.
• 37:37
  I mean, that's all he is.
• 37:39
  Like, you know, he did an interview with Dan Patrick today, and I listened to that.
• 37:43
  And kind of that's really what it sounds like is his responsibilities
• 37:47
  to make sure that the head coach has like the right tools to do their job
• 37:51
  but also is going out there and recruiting players to come in
• 37:55
  just with all the NIL stuff lying around and in the transfer portal.
• 37:59
  Yeah, it's just ridiculous.
• 38:01
  Yeah, interesting.
• 38:02
  I mean, Andrew Luck shows in your living room here like, oh, yeah, sure.
• 38:05
  I'm tell him no.
• 38:06
  Yeah, yeah, yeah. Let's see.
• 38:11
  James Connor signs a two year deal with the Cardinals.
• 38:13
  Nineteen mil. He's earned every penny of that.
• 38:15
  For sure. He's been huge for him this year.
• 38:17
  Yes, he has. Danny Dimes.
• 38:19
  Do we I don't even know if we still call him Dimes, but
• 38:23
  former franchise quarterback for the New York Giants
• 38:25
  signs with the Vikings for three hundred and seventy five thousand dollars.
• 38:29
  That's it. League minimum.
• 38:30
  That's it.
• 38:32
  I mean, I'll take it.
• 38:34
  But he's still getting paid. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.
• 38:37
  It's all good.
• 38:39
  That bag traveled with him.
• 38:40
  Saquon Barkley on track to beat the rushing record set by Dickerson.
• 38:44
  I it'd be cool to see it.
• 38:46
  You know, we really thought we would see it with Adrian Peterson, to be honest.
• 38:49
  Yeah. And then they took him out of the game, protecting for playoffs that year.
• 38:52
  And, you know, he didn't know where he was at the famous interview.
• 38:55
  You know, oh, I didn't know.
• 38:56
  You know what I mean? But yeah. Oh, God, I just wish he would have got it.
• 38:59
  Can't remember how short he was. Eight yards or something.
• 39:01
  I know. Yeah, it was it was really close.
• 39:04
  And they took him out the game in the fourth quarter.
• 39:05
  You know, I mean, don't get me started.
• 39:06
  Anyway, I want to circle back on real quick on the head coaching vacancy for Chicago.
• 39:13
  Who's who's kind of the the front runners, you think, for that,
• 39:16
  if you just had to throw a name out there, you know,
• 39:20
  before I start naming off people, able variable.
• 39:22
  That one's came up.
• 39:24
  Ben Johnson, Ben Johnson, this came up, for sure.
• 39:27
  Multiple times.
• 39:29
  I heard Cliff Kingsbury all of a sudden with Caleb Williams.
• 39:32
  It wouldn't be the worst combination in my opinion.
• 39:35
  I mean, yeah. Well.
• 39:38
  Oh, the B.C. for the Dennis Allen Saints,
• 39:42
  his saints, the O.C.
• 39:44
  He offered his name around to the bears had an opportunity to give click
• 39:48
  to get Cliff Kingsbury this past summer as their O.C.
• 39:52
  And they totally just like let him walk out the door.
• 39:55
  Yeah. So like you don't think that's a realistic possibility.
• 39:59
  Kingsbury would just like give him a big old middle finger.
• 40:01
  And like you had your change.
• 40:03
  You feel really good about Caleb Williams.
• 40:06
  But how do you leave Jaden Daniels? Right.
• 40:09
  Well, that's a good point.
• 40:10
  You know, exactly.
• 40:11
  I mean, he's kind of done it.
• 40:13
  Actually, I've heard of the word on the street is the current
• 40:17
  interim who was that there.
• 40:20
  Oh, see. Yeah.
• 40:21
  What's Thompson?
• 40:22
  Matt Thompson. Thomas.
• 40:24
  What's his name?
• 40:25
  Oh, that's that he might be the head coach.
• 40:28
  That mean he has the inside track.
• 40:30
  Why not? And I guess I mean, the Ryan Poles, you know, the GM there.
• 40:35
  He wanted to fire Iver Fluse last year, but ownership said no.
• 40:40
  That came out today.
• 40:42
  Interesting because they kept the GM on to.
• 40:44
  Mm hmm. Oh, interesting.
• 40:46
  As they should.
• 40:47
  I mean, I don't think he's really done anything negative.
• 40:51
  He's done a really good job.
• 40:52
  I think so, too. Into the team.
• 40:54
  I mean, I think the Bears could still be really competitive
• 40:57
  in the NFC North next year.
• 40:58
  They can. Yeah, I think.
• 41:00
  I don't even want to say it.
• 41:02
  I think the Vikes might be fourth next year, but this is the season, man.
• 41:06
  Flip it anyway. Yeah, I think it's.
• 41:12
  Flip it and delete it.
• 41:14
  But with that, OK, one more name is Bill Belichick, make a return to coaching
• 41:18
  to Chicago and historic place, a place to go for somebody like Bill Belichick.
• 41:22
  I just thought of it right now.
• 41:23
  Or is like that is true.
• 41:24
  You think? Yeah, no, that's that's not.
• 41:27
  No, because not now.
• 41:28
  No, he's going to want he's going to want the wins record.
• 41:31
  I don't think he's going to get it in Chicago with as competitive as the.
• 41:36
  But he has to start somewhere.
• 41:38
  He's not going to receive a 14 and two.
• 41:41
  Yeah, no, there's no way. Right.
• 41:42
  But if he gets a if he gets a head coaching position in like a trashy south.
• 41:50
  But I think that's that's that's an easy like five to six extra wins
• 41:54
  you can bring it bring on to your team.
• 41:56
  I feel like the Bears are two years away from competing with the Lions
• 41:59
  for the division.
• 42:01
  Like, I know that's crazy, but like, I mean, all right.
• 42:06
  I know what I'm doing talking about all these other.
• 42:07
  And I know you're confusing me as a Vikings fan.
• 42:10
  I know I'm making you confused.
• 42:12
  I know. No, hey, man, the Bears have been doing the right things
• 42:15
  that they've been on the bottom for a minute.
• 42:17
  And I know that sucks.
• 42:18
  We don't got to tell you.
• 42:20
  But not anymore.
• 42:23
  No, but seriously, I think definitely offensive coach.
• 42:26
  I think it's got to be an offensive coach.
• 42:27
  I agree. Yeah.
• 42:28
  100 percent. So or a culture builder.
• 42:32
  So who out of the coaches mentioned then bringing who is the O.C.
• 42:36
  Rable. Well, you do variable as the head coach.
• 42:40
  I have no defense a guy which they just got done with.
• 42:43
  Right. But Vrabel's always been been on point with like knowing,
• 42:49
  hey, we need to call a timeout right now.
• 42:53
  So she's better.
• 42:55
  All comes full circle.
• 42:57
  Unbelievable.
• 42:59
  With that, Kev, let's head right into our bonehead move of the week.
• 43:11
  And for bonehead move of the week, don't worry, we got some
• 43:16
  on our dogs out there.
• 43:18
  We got some honorable mentions every time I thought I had found a bonehead
• 43:21
  move of the week, something new would happen.
• 43:23
  So crazy week. Honorable mention, Michael Parsons.
• 43:28
  Man, on Thanksgiving, Dallas beat the two wind giants.
• 43:31
  So he came out and said, we're coming. We're coming.
• 43:34
  Come on, man.
• 43:35
  Come on, man. That's not I like my Michael Parsons.
• 43:38
  But come on. And that defenses look different since he's been back. But yeah.
• 43:42
  Pump pump the brakes.
• 43:43
  Take about 30 percent off there.
• 43:45
  Like, come on, you and Cooper Rush off
• 43:49
  even if it's not calling a timeout.
• 43:50
  I mean, that's just part of the reason.
• 43:52
  And actually, the honorable mention bonehead part is the fact that he backed it up
• 43:57
  so aggressively after and he was like, oh, I'm just preparing for the 49ers
• 44:01
  next week, you know, and it just I don't know.
• 44:03
  I just it was just time to go. He was there.
• 44:05
  There was too many mistakes, two games in a row, weird time management.
• 44:09
  And yeah, that whole offense didn't seem like it was flowing.
• 44:13
  You know, they had an easy schedule to start the year off because they went four and two.
• 44:17
  Yeah. Yeah. And so everyone's like, oh, my gosh, there is it.
• 44:20
  And then after that, they've fallen off a cliff.
• 44:21
  Yeah. I think the other honorable mention with the Eberfluss firing
• 44:25
  and I found found this out was so the day after Eberfluss had his press conference
• 44:30
  with the media in the morning and talking about, oh, I'm feeling really good
• 44:34
  and I'm not worried about my job. Two hours later, he gets fired.
• 44:38
  Like, yeah, Bears organization, if you knew this was happening,
• 44:41
  why did you even let him like, yeah, have a press conference? Yeah.
• 44:46
  You have a zero seven thirty meeting with ownership.
• 44:49
  Yeah. Yeah.
• 44:50
  What do you think that's about?
• 44:52
  And after that, you have media if you want to.
• 44:54
  Last honorable mention of the week before we get into the real meat and potatoes.
• 45:00
  George Pickens scores touchdown, punts the ball into the crowd.
• 45:04
  That was actually kind of funny.
• 45:05
  Didn't get flagged for it, I don't think.
• 45:07
  And then later, I think it was just the first down
• 45:11
  and then gets up, continues running into the end zone, throws the ball
• 45:14
  and he's finger gunning everybody in the crowd like, all right.
• 45:16
  Well, you know, at some point, at some point
• 45:20
  you're going to get a flag, it's on sports.
• 45:21
  But like that, he's just kind of like, what what do you mean?
• 45:25
  But then he goes out and makes insane catches.
• 45:27
  I mean, the dude is I'm not trying to put a label on him.
• 45:32
  Let's see what he is in Pittsburgh.
• 45:35
  And he's kind of turning into the new Antonio Brown a little bit,
• 45:38
  just like being out there with it, though, you know what I mean?
• 45:41
  Not not the crazed part, not running around in traffic or not yet.
• 45:45
  Yeah. But like, but like as far as like some of his antics and stuff,
• 45:50
  you know, he's not taking his pants off on the field.
• 45:52
  Yeah. But, you know, he's just electric.
• 45:54
  He's he's fun to watch.
• 45:56
  He's good. She's selling tickets.
• 45:58
  You know what I mean? I agree.
• 46:00
  So anyway, honorable mention now the real bonehead.
• 46:04
  Drumroll. Yeah.
• 46:06
  Al Shire, the hit on the hit on Trevor Lawrence now.
• 46:11
  You know, if you go frame by frame,
• 46:14
  which is not how we view life.
• 46:16
  But if you go frame by frame, the slide was starting
• 46:20
  before he went to start his tackle. Technically, technically. Yeah.
• 46:26
  I get in the heat of the moment. I get a bang bang play.
• 46:29
  My thing that sells it for me that he was,
• 46:34
  lack of better terms, head hunting, you know,
• 46:35
  maybe not for sure going for his face or whatever. Yeah.
• 46:38
  But hitting him. You know, I mean, he was going for the big hit.
• 46:42
  The thing that got me is when you slow it down, right?
• 46:46
  And he's going for the tackle.
• 46:47
  He's leading with that forearm. It's like a line.
• 46:49
  And like when you go to like tackle somebody, unless it's like that last ditch.
• 46:53
  I can't remember what it's called.
• 46:54
  But like when you, you know, somebody's running down, it's that last ditch.
• 46:57
  Are you just trying to, you know, get their heel a little bit?
• 47:00
  You know what I mean? Yeah.
• 47:03
  If you know, even when you're doing that, you know,
• 47:05
  you're not necessarily leading with that forearm, right?
• 47:08
  So even if you're standing up, you're telling me he's going to lead
• 47:10
  with that forearm into his legs like that.
• 47:13
  I don't know. I think he's coming in, you know?
• 47:15
  So that right that kind of sold it to me that, yeah, he was going for the big hit.
• 47:21
  And I only and I only look at it that way because a week three
• 47:24
  against the Chicago Bears, he smacked Caleb Williams, who was still in bounds.
• 47:29
  He was he was clearly going out of bounds.
• 47:31
  Yeah. And I think he's still got
• 47:33
  I don't know if he got flagged.
• 47:35
  No, I don't know. I can't remember that. Yeah.
• 47:37
  Yeah. And what do you flag him for?
• 47:39
  You know, hitting in bounds? Yeah.
• 47:42
  You have to flag him for hitting the quarterback at that point,
• 47:44
  because that's the only thing you could see.
• 47:46
  But that's happened.
• 47:47
  But so that which he got fined $11,000 for today,
• 47:51
  it came out that he was suspended three games or maybe came out
• 47:53
  and say whatever for this hit on Trevor Lawrence.
• 47:56
  But for me, do you think the suspension is fair is my question.
• 48:00
  For me, I think three games is fair.
• 48:02
  There's a lot of people are like the whole season.
• 48:04
  Then there's the other half of people are like, not at all.
• 48:07
  It's football. You know, so what do you
• 48:09
  what do you guys feel on that?
• 48:11
  I think three is kind of kind of harsh.
• 48:14
  And harsh for three. OK.
• 48:16
  I was would you go with one?
• 48:17
  I was expecting two.
• 48:19
  And then they then they would just they would petition it down to one.
• 48:23
  This is kind of what I was expecting was going to happen. OK.
• 48:27
  So I think that they're still going to
• 48:30
  they're still going to like battle it.
• 48:32
  If anything, it's only going to go down to two.
• 48:34
  I don't feel it.
• 48:35
  Yeah, they'll feel it.
• 48:36
  But I don't see them appealing three down to one.
• 48:39
  But no, I think three was harsh.
• 48:42
  Three is a little harsh. I thought so. OK.
• 48:44
  Fair enough. And he did come out and apologize next day on social. Right.
• 48:47
  Well, yeah, like everybody does.
• 48:49
  But he did. You know, he wasn't trying to maliciously hurt Trevor Lawrence.
• 48:52
  I would like to think unless you're what's his name?
• 48:55
  Perfect. Perfect.
• 48:56
  I would like to think as yeah, Vontez. Yeah.
• 48:58
  I would like to think that you're not attempting to hurt people
• 49:01
  when you go out there and play the game.
• 49:02
  You're just trying to play the game.
• 49:03
  And again, he did the moment right. Yeah.
• 49:05
  And he's a great player.
• 49:06
  He's a great linebacker.
• 49:07
  You're trying to hit him hard.
• 49:09
  But he's a hard hitter. He's searching for that.
• 49:10
  That's yeah, that's his aim.
• 49:12
  And I'm not trying to hate on that.
• 49:13
  I love that part of it.
• 49:14
  But yeah, you know, you still went high on a sliding quarterback.
• 49:18
  And that's just the rule, man.
• 49:19
  But how do you guys feel about the three game?
• 49:21
  Oh, definitely a little more than I expected.
• 49:25
  I've definitely seen worse hits on quarterbacks.
• 49:28
  Now he was giving himself up, but I feel like it wasn't
• 49:33
  as fast as it should have been as far as a slide,
• 49:37
  because as you can see, OK, like when you slow it down.
• 49:41
  But then again, you know, he could have tried to roll the other way.
• 49:45
  But I feel like he was just yeah, like you protect himself at all, really.
• 49:49
  But like you're traveling.
• 49:50
  Brady came out. Yeah, actually.
• 49:53
  I mean, yeah, that too.
• 49:54
  But I mean, you're traveling at a crazy rate.
• 49:56
  You know, you're in the game.
• 49:58
  When the speed of NFL. Yeah.
• 50:00
  So it's like you're running.
• 50:01
  I mean, it's not like he got up and tried to showboat about it.
• 50:05
  Like he was like, wait, what?
• 50:07
  But then, you know, then he got.
• 50:09
  And then, you know, and at that point, game on.
• 50:11
  Yeah. No, first, I don't blame him for getting up and getting.
• 50:14
  Yeah, no, right.
• 50:15
  Like, for sure. He shot it, too.
• 50:16
  Yeah. Yeah.
• 50:18
  But also got ejected, not suspended, but he got it from the game.
• 50:22
  But then again, it's like,
• 50:25
  I don't know, man.
• 50:26
  So it's so tricky.
• 50:27
  You know, it hits nowadays targeting everything.
• 50:30
  It's it's a super fine line.
• 50:32
  Yeah, it is. It's definitely a fine line now.
• 50:34
  They're definitely getting more strict on it.
• 50:36
  It didn't look quarterback.
• 50:37
  Yeah. It didn't look as like the impact would have been as hard as
• 50:41
  Trevor Lawrence reacted.
• 50:43
  As you can see, you know, he was do. Yeah. Yeah.
• 50:46
  It was the hit with the four.
• 50:48
  Yeah. Right. But then it hit him and then did.
• 50:50
  And then hit him.
• 50:51
  Yes. That's that's.
• 50:52
  Yeah, that was scary, man.
• 50:53
  I mean, definitely hope he's going to see somebody's angle like that.
• 50:57
  That's me. Yeah.
• 50:58
  Yeah. Yeah.
• 50:59
  I have a hot take on it.
• 51:00
  How about NFL rules committee?
• 51:03
  Let's just get rid of the slide.
• 51:04
  Let's just get rid of it.
• 51:06
  Every year and I know we're running anymore.
• 51:11
  Well, no, they can run.
• 51:12
  You'll have Kyler Murray, Caleb, or somebody like Lamar.
• 51:15
  But I feel like more quarterbacks get hurt sliding
• 51:18
  than just trying to get another yard. Yeah.
• 51:22
  So just get rid of Josh Allen.
• 51:24
  Josh Allen doesn't slide that often.
• 51:26
  He just he just like I'll take on both.
• 51:28
  Oh, yeah.
• 51:29
  Because there's been a handful, you know, in the shoulders
• 51:32
  or anything where you'd expect the quarter, like especially his throwing arm.
• 51:34
  I think that's there.
• 51:35
  They're just so concerned about injury shoulder or something.
• 51:39
  But don't run that.
• 51:41
  Just get rid of it.
• 51:42
  But then again, it's like I feel like a lot of quarterbacks
• 51:45
  are using this to their advantage.
• 51:47
  I see multiple things.
• 51:48
  Yeah. Just throw the flag if you know.
• 51:50
  And then it's like what they're going out of bounds, you know,
• 51:53
  you'll try to get a like a little slide and probably get hit.
• 51:56
  Now, that's actually going out and then stay in with Pat Mahomes.
• 52:00
  Like run like running the skirting those lines like I'm going to go out about.
• 52:04
  He came in. But it's just kidding.
• 52:06
  But if he gets back in, but if he's tiptoeing on the sideline,
• 52:09
  you know, and gets cracked, it's the end.
• 52:12
  You know, light them up.
• 52:13
  You know, I'm all about thinking and get rid of the slide
• 52:17
  and just play the game of football.
• 52:19
  Yeah. You are a runner with the ball.
• 52:22
  Thank you. No matter what position you leave the pocket.
• 52:24
  Yeah, if you want to protect the constant, it's well, well, the slide.
• 52:29
  Because we have to have a full conversation about this guy.
• 52:31
  This guy's running a four, three Adam.
• 52:33
  The other guy's running a four, six or whatever, Adam.
• 52:36
  And we're going frame by frame of leading with elbows and slides
• 52:41
  or make it a if you're within five yards of defender, you need a slide.
• 52:45
  Now, it shouldn't be two yards, three yards.
• 52:48
  And you're trying to time it up.
• 52:49
  Yeah, it's to be that.
• 52:50
  Oh, oh, he slapped my head.
• 52:52
  It's 15. So it's just ruined.
• 52:55
  I think it's just ruining the game.
• 52:57
  I don't think it's really protecting the slide. Get rid of it.
• 53:00
  I've said, Kev, wow, my bad, Kev.
• 53:03
  He's saying it like he's saying it to. I can feel.
• 53:05
  I'm just like, yeah, he's checking his head.
• 53:07
  He's like, yeah, get rid of the slide.
• 53:09
  I don't watch football, but get rid of it.
• 53:11
  Don't even need it.
• 53:13
  With that, Kev, let's go to our week 14 preview and picks.
• 53:28
  And right back added our week 14 preview and picks.
• 53:33
  What I'm just doing weird stuff.
• 53:35
  He's between every, between every segment.
• 53:37
  I'm just so excited.
• 53:39
  He's doing he's doing something, but he's always ready, though.
• 53:42
  I don't need that. You're always ready.
• 53:44
  He's always prepared.
• 53:45
  First game, game one of week 14 preview and picks.
• 53:48
  Of course, we're starting with the Vikings,
• 53:51
  Falcons at the Vikings, Kirk Cousins coming off a four interception week,
• 53:55
  coming to the bank. That's going to be loud and rockin.
• 53:59
  I kind of hope he at least gets a little.
• 54:00
  Obviously, you feel differently, but I kind of hope he at least gets a little bit
• 54:04
  of a, you know, a standing ovation.
• 54:06
  But hey, you know, when they do a little tribute to him, I mean,
• 54:08
  he still took us to the Super Bowl.
• 54:11
  Oh, well, apparently, I feel strongly about Kirk.
• 54:15
  No, he still took us to the playoffs a couple of times.
• 54:18
  You know that the twenty twenty two season was special until
• 54:21
  you played the Giants in the first round, you know what I mean? But
• 54:25
  you know, I think he's on the list somewhere towards the top,
• 54:30
  actually, for all time passing yard leaders for the Minnesota Vikings.
• 54:33
  But OK, anyway, Kirk Cousins coming back to the bank.
• 54:37
  I'm taking the Vikings.
• 54:38
  I don't really need to explain why I think the defense is just going to eat up
• 54:42
  Atlanta right now.
• 54:43
  We were thinking Atlanta was starting to get hot.
• 54:46
  They were. And now all of a sudden coming out of by.
• 54:49
  It just seems like that offense is stagnant.
• 54:52
  Yes, for picks doesn't help.
• 54:53
  So they're obviously looking for a big bounce back week this week.
• 54:57
  Rob, which scares me.
• 54:59
  The whole bounce back thought process is they think they got embarrassed
• 55:02
  and they're going to come out hard and play.
• 55:04
  And probably one of the best things the line of Falcons do,
• 55:07
  they should do against us, is run the ball.
• 55:10
  And Bijon Robinson is a dog.
• 55:14
  And the guy. So that's the only way I feel.
• 55:17
  Atlanta can stay in the game defensively.
• 55:19
  I don't think they're going to slow us down enough to, you know,
• 55:23
  it's got to be they got to be in a track meet with us.
• 55:26
  So I'm thinking this game's going to be in the high 20s.
• 55:29
  Vikings win. OK.
• 55:30
  High 20s. So you think it'll be a little closer?
• 55:32
  Yeah, I mean, I think Atlanta will be able to.
• 55:34
  I mean, Kurt's a veteran quarterback, so all these all these B-Flo shows,
• 55:39
  he's going to be like, I've seen this, seen this.
• 55:41
  Exactly. So it's nothing's going to surprise him as much as last week
• 55:45
  against, you know, like they had even against Kyler.
• 55:48
  I don't think he was.
• 55:50
  Wow, I don't know what B-Flo is sending at me right now.
• 55:53
  Yeah, you know. Yeah, for sure.
• 55:54
  No, Kyler seemed like he was kind of slicing and dicing it.
• 55:56
  And we've kind of seen that a little bit with the Vikings defense as of late.
• 56:00
  It's not it's a little bit more predictable now.
• 56:03
  You know what I mean? But they seem like they're not as sending
• 56:05
  as much of pressure as they were.
• 56:06
  Yeah, they've been playing a little more coverage to a little bit, you know,
• 56:09
  and then with Gilmore, you know, would hurt them.
• 56:14
  And I mean, we're not super deep in our secondary. No.
• 56:17
  So and that's that's something I was going to bring up.
• 56:20
  Fabian Moreau. Yeah.
• 56:22
  Do you think that was a P.I.?
• 56:25
  Yes. OK. I did.
• 56:26
  But who the heck is Fabian Moreau?
• 56:29
  I don't even know who that was. Number 23.
• 56:30
  That's all I know.
• 56:32
  I was going to look up, look him up and come with like a big report
• 56:35
  and all this about who he is, where the heck he even played,
• 56:37
  because I don't even know who that was.
• 56:39
  And it maybe we come on the show and tell everybody who they started.
• 56:43
  They started attacking him. Get him in here.
• 56:45
  You know what I mean? No, yeah, definitely.
• 56:46
  But I can't. He played decent coverage on that Marvin Harrison.
• 56:49
  He did. I will say there's not much.
• 56:51
  I mean, that's a great throw. Great catch.
• 56:52
  Anyway, too much about the Vikings.
• 56:54
  Jake, what do you got Atlanta traveling to Minnesota?
• 56:57
  I'm going to pick Vikings over the Falcons.
• 57:00
  I think the defense is a little underrated and trained them well.
• 57:06
  They're going to they're going to give the Vikings often some some fits,
• 57:10
  I think, similar to what you saw against the Cardinals in the first half.
• 57:13
  So the first half might be a little shaky, but I think they'll
• 57:16
  they'll fight through that and they'll still pull out a W.
• 57:20
  And I don't think Kirk Cousins is going to get cheered.
• 57:22
  I think they're going to boo him.
• 57:24
  You think he's getting booed in the state?
• 57:26
  Oh, I think for sure he's going to get booed.
• 57:28
  I personally boo him. Yeah, I mean, there's going to be half and half.
• 57:31
  I'd be the only one being like, yeah, the booing is going to allow the cheering.
• 57:36
  Probably. Yeah.
• 57:37
  You know, Spartans.
• 57:39
  Who we got the angel?
• 57:41
  Definitely Vikings.
• 57:42
  Definitely is going to be closer.
• 57:46
  I feel like Atlanta might cover.
• 57:48
  I think they're point plus.
• 57:50
  Ready? Plus five.
• 57:51
  I think you're I think you're on to that. Yeah.
• 57:53
  Yeah, they definitely might cover.
• 57:56
  But you don't get you don't get points here.
• 57:57
  I know. Yeah, Vikes.
• 58:00
  Vikes definitely should win straight out.
• 58:03
  I'm a little worried, though.
• 58:04
  You know, Vikings do have what the 28th ranked pass and defense in the league.
• 58:10
  And Kirk is looking at that.
• 58:14
  Oh, I mean, last week's game, you can see there's some suspects in the secondary.
• 58:19
  I mean, Murphy's our best guy, I believe.
• 58:24
  He's a little inconsistent sometimes, but I mean,
• 58:27
  I definitely think he handles his business when it's time to play.
• 58:30
  But I mean, yeah, no, it definitely should be a showboat.
• 58:33
  I feel like it's definitely going to be a high scoring game.
• 58:36
  Darno has to come to play.
• 58:38
  Feed Aaron Jones.
• 58:41
  There's no way he has five attempts.
• 58:44
  Yeah, it's literally after that fumble, they just shut him.
• 58:48
  But I mean, you trusted him.
• 58:50
  You know, you got him from Green Bay.
• 58:52
  You know what he can do?
• 58:53
  He's a boy. Even the ball built up his confidence.
• 58:55
  Yes. So it's like, man, you got to you got to be a ride or die.
• 58:58
  So it's like you can't just feed him five times.
• 59:01
  But that's I feel like that's I mean, that's frustrating.
• 59:04
  You know, being Aaron Jones, you in Green Bay,
• 59:07
  you're predominantly getting the ball every game. Yeah.
• 59:10
  But you know, you come to get fed.
• 59:13
  Yeah, I'm not too worried about it.
• 59:14
  He'll get fed. Vikes will Vikes will get the job behind Aaron Jones.
• 59:18
  So they do got to feed him. Yeah, I agree.
• 59:19
  100 percent. Next game.
• 59:22
  Oh, doozy. This is doozy.
• 59:24
  You guys are this one off.
• 59:26
  Don't you worry.
• 59:27
  Packers traveling to Detroit, probably our game of the week.
• 59:30
  Game of the week with the boys.
• 59:32
  Big division game for I mean, it's got a lot of the line for the Vikes, too.
• 59:36
  So who's getting the dub?
• 59:37
  Oh, lions. Oh, lions.
• 59:39
  Oh, lions. Take the alternate spread if you like.
• 59:43
  My spread, I think it's minus two point five.
• 59:46
  Their plan is safe.
• 59:48
  That's home. Lions are two and they're at home.
• 59:50
  Yeah, they're two in rhythm right now, man.
• 59:52
  Golf is having a stellar season.
• 59:56
  Oh, my God. Yes, he is.
• 59:57
  Hats off to golf, man. He's came a long way.
• 1:00:00
  That's off to golf. Going with the lion. Yeah.
• 1:00:03
  Kind of. I wouldn't probably.
• 1:00:06
  What was the score last time they played?
• 1:00:08
  Was it high? Oh, my God.
• 1:00:10
  I'm trying to think. Oh, it was close.
• 1:00:12
  Hmm. I thought it was close.
• 1:00:14
  No, they won by like 10.
• 1:00:15
  Well, if I'm not mistaken.
• 1:00:16
  Somebody looked at it.
• 1:00:18
  Twenty four, 14. Yeah. Yeah.
• 1:00:20
  They won by 10. Spot on.
• 1:00:22
  Yeah. So no, definitely.
• 1:00:24
  I feel like, yeah, they're probably won by 10 again.
• 1:00:27
  Once again, I mean, love.
• 1:00:29
  He's getting back in rhythm.
• 1:00:30
  So that is going to be a little scary.
• 1:00:32
  But as long as they can maintain him and Jacobs.
• 1:00:37
  I'm not worried about the DB.
• 1:00:38
  They do get a little sus.
• 1:00:39
  Joseph can, you know, kind of wild out a little bit, but he's
• 1:00:43
  he's consistent for the most part.
• 1:00:45
  But yeah, I'm going with lions, man. Fair enough.
• 1:00:47
  Before anybody else picks so far, we've heard from Ben, our Packer fan.
• 1:00:51
  He's on Packers. Tyler Packer fan. He's on Packers.
• 1:00:55
  We got lions from Graham, lions from Trey, lions from Dom Packers
• 1:00:59
  from Dan, lions from Rachel and lions.
• 1:01:02
  Oh, I just added you to the list.
• 1:01:04
  So you're right there.
• 1:01:05
  There you go. Jake, what do we got?
• 1:01:08
  I'm going to go with the lions.
• 1:01:12
  I'm hesitant to say that.
• 1:01:13
  I know, but has a taste.
• 1:01:15
  Mike, let's hear it. My concern is the the injuries on the defensive side
• 1:01:20
  are really starting to add up.
• 1:01:21
  At what point is that dam going to break?
• 1:01:23
  And they just can't stop a stop a good offense.
• 1:01:27
  So that's my biggest concern.
• 1:01:30
  I what's probably going to make them or allow them to win
• 1:01:34
  is by controlling the controlling time of possession and giving it to David
• 1:01:39
  Montgomery and putting it back into Gibbs's hands.
• 1:01:41
  Like Gibbs fell off the face of the planet like last week
• 1:01:45
  for no apparent reason.
• 1:01:47
  And I thought that that didn't help them at all.
• 1:01:52
  So they need to get back to the back to the two headed running, running game.
• 1:01:56
  Feed them the ball again.
• 1:01:58
  Back to talking about running back.
• 1:01:59
  I like it. I think it's just the way to be.
• 1:02:03
  Let's see. Packers at Lions.
• 1:02:07
  Just so you know, Rob, I'm going to do this for the rest of the games now.
• 1:02:10
  Sorry, fellas. Injuries.
• 1:02:13
  Josh Jacobs is questionable at the moment, but he was he was limited at practice.
• 1:02:17
  It's looking like he's probably going to play
• 1:02:20
  Romeo Dobbs limited at practice because a concussion still.
• 1:02:23
  Jair Alexander still limited. Yeah.
• 1:02:27
  That is McDuffie limited participant at Monday's practice.
• 1:02:31
  So and again, when we record this, it's still early in the week.
• 1:02:34
  So things could still happen.
• 1:02:36
  We can change.
• 1:02:38
  Man, I'm a little bit concerned.
• 1:02:39
  Are you going with your heart or with facts?
• 1:02:45
  Thank you.
• 1:02:46
  Go with your fandom.
• 1:02:48
  My fandom. How dare you?
• 1:02:49
  I'm not a fan of either one.
• 1:02:50
  It's all you picks the charters.
• 1:02:52
  Chargers. No, which is why you would pick the Packers to which is what I'm going to do.
• 1:02:56
  I do want I Vikings need the Packers to win.
• 1:02:59
  But I also think that Jordan Love is playing pretty well right now.
• 1:03:03
  And again, like he's looking more and more healthy every week.
• 1:03:07
  Even if they get a little bit of Josh Jacobs,
• 1:03:09
  I think it's going to be better than nothing at all.
• 1:03:14
  You know, I still like their receiving core, even without Romeo Dobbs,
• 1:03:17
  if he's if he's out with a concussion.
• 1:03:18
  But I think there's enough there.
• 1:03:21
  I think it's going to be a great game.
• 1:03:22
  I think it's going to be a different game than it was the first time around.
• 1:03:25
  Touch on the Watson to win it. No.
• 1:03:29
  He's a huge Watson fan. That's why I bring it.
• 1:03:31
  I'm so down on Watson.
• 1:03:32
  Although last week was ridiculous.
• 1:03:34
  Yes. I'll give him that.
• 1:03:35
  But I think I got to go Packers here, man.
• 1:03:37
  It hurts my soul.
• 1:03:39
  Yeah, I've been picking them picking them a lot this year,
• 1:03:41
  and they don't let me down. So.
• 1:03:43
  So all this for me, I guess, is one of the things I want to be wrong.
• 1:03:47
  So I'm going Lions.
• 1:03:48
  I just I don't think the Packers have what it takes to.
• 1:03:51
  They even have a chance this game.
• 1:03:52
  No, no. So no chance.
• 1:03:55
  No, I think I think it's, you know,
• 1:03:57
  twenty four, ten or fourteen last week style.
• 1:04:01
  I think the Lions are just going to kind of dominate
• 1:04:03
  and slowly fade it out to the end.
• 1:04:05
  It's the I want the pack.
• 1:04:08
  I want to be wrong. So but I.
• 1:04:10
  Wait, you want to be wrong. Yeah, I want to be around.
• 1:04:12
  I want the Packers. No, calm down.
• 1:04:14
  That's not what I'm saying.
• 1:04:16
  Yeah, so I'm going Lions,
• 1:04:18
  but I'll definitely take the out of Packers.
• 1:04:20
  Then OK. All right.
• 1:04:22
  Fair enough. Going to the Lions.
• 1:04:24
  Let's see. Do we all go? Yes, we did.
• 1:04:26
  Yes, we did. All right.
• 1:04:26
  Moving into our third game, the Sea Chickens, Seahawks
• 1:04:30
  traveling to the Arizona Cardinals.
• 1:04:32
  Division game, division game, big game, actually at that.
• 1:04:36
  The division pretty much.
• 1:04:38
  Let's see. Cardinals do not.
• 1:04:40
  Cardinals do not have any other injuries that are not already on
• 1:04:43
  IR and the Seahawks.
• 1:04:46
  Let me look real quick.
• 1:04:46
  Eight and five and six and six, seven and five,
• 1:04:50
  seven and five and six and six.
• 1:04:52
  OK, where are the Seahawks here?
• 1:04:54
  I'm almost there.
• 1:04:55
  Whoops. Well, well, there we go.
• 1:04:57
  There we go. Let's see.
• 1:04:59
  DK is questionable, tweaked his knee.
• 1:05:04
  Something something.
• 1:05:05
  He's going to play.
• 1:05:05
  Just questionable. Punter's questionable.
• 1:05:08
  Michael Dickerson is his.
• 1:05:09
  Dixon is his name, if you guys need to know the punter.
• 1:05:12
  He'll play.
• 1:05:13
  AJ Finley safety, nothing there.
• 1:05:15
  So yeah, looks like we're fairly healthy on both sides
• 1:05:18
  other than the, you know, the injuries they've already lost for the year.
• 1:05:21
  So, Rob, who you got first here?
• 1:05:25
  Wait, let me tell you who out
• 1:05:28
  who everybody else think that's and persuade me.
• 1:05:30
  What? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 1:05:32
  So maybe maybe so Ben Packer fan with the Cardinals.
• 1:05:37
  Graham with the Cardinals, Trey Cardinals, Dom Cardinals, Dan Cardinals,
• 1:05:42
  Rachel Seachickens, Tyler, Tyler Seachickens.
• 1:05:46
  So we got we got two Seahawks right now compared to five cards.
• 1:05:50
  We got I think Seachickens are in this one.
• 1:05:53
  Oh, Seachickens all the way for Rob.
• 1:05:55
  Yeah. Do you explain some dollars solid ball
• 1:05:58
  divisional game Cardinals?
• 1:06:00
  So they've seen each other enough.
• 1:06:02
  So yeah, I'd see Seahawks and playing some good football,
• 1:06:06
  especially on the defense.
• 1:06:07
  Defense of line has been really, really messing with some teams.
• 1:06:11
  So and I and the cardinal like the Cardinals played that bad either.
• 1:06:14
  No, I know.
• 1:06:16
  I think that's a hostile.
• 1:06:18
  Yeah. 24, 23, see chickens.
• 1:06:21
  Oh, OK. Interest.
• 1:06:23
  Another one point game. OK.
• 1:06:25
  The angel. What we got?
• 1:06:27
  Oh, Seahawks.
• 1:06:29
  I definitely know what's going on.
• 1:06:32
  I think Arizona just doesn't have
• 1:06:36
  what it takes to just dominate the Seahawks defense. OK.
• 1:06:40
  I mean, you know, yeah, you got Harrison.
• 1:06:44
  You got McBride.
• 1:06:46
  Yeah, McBride McBride. Oh, my God.
• 1:06:48
  Standout guy, man.
• 1:06:49
  He's been balling. Hasn't gotten to the end zone.
• 1:06:52
  Yeah. Good point.
• 1:06:53
  74 catches can't get a touchdown, but he shows up.
• 1:06:56
  He definitely shows up.
• 1:06:57
  So it's like, but yeah, once again, Genos, I'm taking him.
• 1:07:01
  Well, he's top five in passing this year.
• 1:07:04
  Yes, he is. Yeah.
• 1:07:05
  He's been balling, man. Hats off to him once again.
• 1:07:07
  And when Kenneth Walker's healthy, I love the guy Walker.
• 1:07:10
  And I think Charbonneau is back.
• 1:07:12
  He had a touch. Yeah, Tati.
• 1:07:13
  I really like Charbonneau in college and they did.
• 1:07:15
  Yeah, no, he's just like, yeah, he definitely dominated.
• 1:07:18
  And who's the receiver? Jackson Smith.
• 1:07:20
  And he's been in the state, right?
• 1:07:24
  He's been tearing it up lately.
• 1:07:26
  Yeah. But yeah,
• 1:07:28
  so you're obviously going to see chickens here.
• 1:07:31
  I pick Seahawks a lot this year.
• 1:07:33
  That's why I'm going Cardinals, actually.
• 1:07:35
  I saw enough from them in the Vikings game this past weekend
• 1:07:40
  that that shows me they they can they can beat the Seahawks for sure,
• 1:07:43
  especially at home in Arizona.
• 1:07:45
  It's not a huge, I'd say, home field advantage.
• 1:07:48
  I like I've only been I only went there once,
• 1:07:51
  but when I did at the end of the season, so it's like this
• 1:07:53
  bunch of walkers like clanging together.
• 1:07:58
  Yeah, no, but
• 1:08:01
  but I mean, they're still at home, right?
• 1:08:02
  They're not playing in Seattle.
• 1:08:03
  I think if they're playing in Seattle, that changes it for me.
• 1:08:06
  I was very one defense in front of their fans.
• 1:08:08
  It's just craziness.
• 1:08:10
  But Seattle fans travel well, too.
• 1:08:12
  So yes, they do.
• 1:08:13
  But I think I got to take take the Cardinals here on this one.
• 1:08:16
  But I think this will be a great game.
• 1:08:18
  I don't know about one point, but it could be one possession for sure.
• 1:08:20
  Yeah. Jake, what we got last time I picked the sea chickens
• 1:08:24
  that came back to bite me.
• 1:08:25
  That's what I'm saying.
• 1:08:27
  But maybe this is you listen to me. Right.
• 1:08:29
  Yeah, this might change your mind, though.
• 1:08:31
  So I was taking a look at the Cardinals out of the six wins
• 1:08:34
  that the Cardinals have.
• 1:08:36
  Only one of those is against a team of the winning record. Yeah. Sure.
• 1:08:39
  So any of their other wins at best there, the teams are six and six,
• 1:08:43
  or they had a losing record going into the game.
• 1:08:46
  So I'm going to just like the Chargers. Right.
• 1:08:49
  So I'm just going to I'm going to take the sea chickens
• 1:08:51
  because the Cardinals don't have it in them to be a winning team or a good team.
• 1:08:57
  So they don't got it. They don't got it. OK.
• 1:09:00
  Well, I think they're going to prove you guys wrong this week.
• 1:09:03
  I think you're wrong.
• 1:09:06
  Just because I fair enough.
• 1:09:08
  I just think the Cardinals have been building since last season.
• 1:09:10
  Last season wasn't good for them, but getting Kyler Murray back up to speed
• 1:09:14
  and he's getting there,
• 1:09:16
  getting back into that pre injury Murray and I don't know.
• 1:09:19
  I don't know. Whatever. Feeling it.
• 1:09:21
  It should be fun. It should be a good game.
• 1:09:22
  Definitely should. Good match up.
• 1:09:24
  I'll watch it. I mean, for the division lead. Yeah.
• 1:09:29
  Let's see here. Bills at Rams.
• 1:09:31
  We have a clean slate of Bills so far.
• 1:09:35
  Let's see.
• 1:09:36
  When did you start? We'll start with you again.
• 1:09:38
  Yeah, I can't. Bills at Rams.
• 1:09:40
  I can't pick against the Bills right now.
• 1:09:42
  Just too high. Too hot. Too hot.
• 1:09:45
  Way too hot. Interesting.
• 1:09:46
  Their defense is getting healthier to Matt Milano's back.
• 1:09:50
  Which was huge for them.
• 1:09:50
  Right. As he continues to get more reps and back into it,
• 1:09:53
  I think their defense is just going to continue to get better.
• 1:09:55
  It's going to take them a couple of weeks to get fully up to speed.
• 1:09:58
  But by playoffs, no problem.
• 1:10:00
  I mean, that's a huge piece to have back defensively. Yep. Rob.
• 1:10:05
  I'm going Rams. Going Rams.
• 1:10:07
  I'm going to join you to.
• 1:10:09
  The reason why is just I mean, the Bills,
• 1:10:11
  I was going to see how many home games they've played lately.
• 1:10:14
  I feel like almost most of their games have been at home in the snow.
• 1:10:18
  You know, like so that home field advantage.
• 1:10:20
  But the Rams have been a scrappy team all year.
• 1:10:23
  They have still have.
• 1:10:24
  They got they got all their studs still. They're all back.
• 1:10:27
  Every game, they're competitive.
• 1:10:29
  And the Bills, other than if James Cook,
• 1:10:33
  that they get a big league to start, most of the games are competitive.
• 1:10:36
  You know, and let's all and the Rams are the typical kind of team
• 1:10:40
  that keep most games kind of close.
• 1:10:42
  You know, they don't get blown out very often.
• 1:10:44
  And I think they have enough. So I'm going Rams home.
• 1:10:47
  Going Rams at home. Yep. And I will join you actually with that.
• 1:10:50
  And it is more along the lines of that scrappiness.
• 1:10:52
  You know, we've seen them in these games with these with better teams, you know,
• 1:10:57
  and they're right there. If not every week, we've talked about them.
• 1:11:00
  We're like, oh, they're going to lose.
• 1:11:02
  And usually we talk about them ruining somebody else's week.
• 1:11:05
  I mean, they beat us. Oh, for sure.
• 1:11:08
  Well, and obviously that's best team in the league.
• 1:11:11
  Yeah. Who we got?
• 1:11:13
  Oh, I'm going with the Bills.
• 1:11:15
  Going with the Bills by a landslide.
• 1:11:17
  Landslide slide. Yeah, man.
• 1:11:20
  I mean, Helen is just filling himself right now, man.
• 1:11:23
  I got him. Passing, running.
• 1:11:26
  Do you see the trickery?
• 1:11:27
  So it's like for them to stop him, just him, not even talking about Cook,
• 1:11:33
  just him, it's going to take all they got.
• 1:11:36
  And then now you're going to have to go stop the run game.
• 1:11:39
  So it's like, man, I just don't think they they have the defense
• 1:11:43
  to contain the Bills offense right now, especially with Alan playing like he is.
• 1:11:48
  He should have a field day.
• 1:11:49
  I'm thinking probably like 250, 300 in there. OK. OK.
• 1:11:55
  You think he's going to get back to back trifectas, passing touchdown,
• 1:11:58
  receiving touchdown, rushing touchdown?
• 1:12:00
  I got a fantasy. I hope he does it twice.
• 1:12:02
  They're a little soap-bone at that point.
• 1:12:04
  I'm like, yeah, the snow, the trickery is there.
• 1:12:07
  But now they're definitely going to come out with a punch, though, for sure.
• 1:12:11
  I think he's in a kid introduced to Jared verse.
• 1:12:14
  I didn't even do the injuries. Oh, well, the defense man for the Rams.
• 1:12:18
  He's having a really solid year.
• 1:12:20
  Like he might be in the contention rookie of the year.
• 1:12:23
  Oh, OK. Interesting. On the defensive side.
• 1:12:27
  All right. We were talking about Gennard.
• 1:12:29
  Yeah, you were talking about.
• 1:12:31
  Well, and if he like still had no one else's came up with the name,
• 1:12:36
  I just I don't know.
• 1:12:37
  I'll do that research for I'll look for a defensive player of the year
• 1:12:39
  that's not on the Vikings because I still question
• 1:12:42
  with whether or not Gennard would be defensive player of the year
• 1:12:45
  on the Vikings themselves.
• 1:12:46
  I guess you got it.
• 1:12:47
  I think Van Ginkgo's, you know, in there. But
• 1:12:52
  yeah, last game here.
• 1:12:53
  Jaguars at Titans, we kind of picked we could have went
• 1:12:56
  Chargers going to Kansas City.
• 1:12:58
  Yeah, most people probably would have took Kansas City.
• 1:13:02
  This one is more of a split here.
• 1:13:04
  Not as much so far.
• 1:13:05
  We got two Jaguars, but most taken the Titans in this game.
• 1:13:08
  And again, it is in Tennessee.
• 1:13:11
  A Mac Jones led Jaguars, most likely playing against Will Levis.
• 1:13:15
  Well, we got I guess I'll go first, actually.
• 1:13:19
  I'm going to take a chance here. I'm going to take the Jags.
• 1:13:22
  That is a chance. I know.
• 1:13:24
  It is a chance.
• 1:13:26
  I think the Titans will actually win the game, but
• 1:13:29
  just because I like Will Levis over Mac Jones.
• 1:13:32
  Mac Jones did not look awesome when he came in for Trevor Lawrence last week.
• 1:13:35
  But yeah, Jaguars need a win.
• 1:13:39
  And this is and this is a winnable.
• 1:13:40
  I need a million dollars to.
• 1:13:43
  You just requested it happens, right?
• 1:13:45
  But I don't know.
• 1:13:46
  I I think the Jaguars defense will do enough to disturb Will Levis.
• 1:13:52
  It's going to be close at nine to six or something goofy.
• 1:13:55
  You know, I mean, super ugly game.
• 1:13:57
  That's why it's here.
• 1:13:58
  You know, it's going to be a super ugly.
• 1:13:59
  Everyone was on Broadway getting wasted the night before.
• 1:14:02
  Who knows?
• 1:14:03
  Would I just see the picture of the new stadium?
• 1:14:05
  The Tennessee is building.
• 1:14:06
  It's nice, but it's going to be a Tennessee all day on this one.
• 1:14:10
  I think I think it's going to be a blow up.
• 1:14:11
  I think blow out and see.
• 1:14:13
  Beat them up. Yeah.
• 1:14:14
  Twenty eight, three, some dumb like that.
• 1:14:18
  I think we might even go to their backup after Mac Jones gets sacked 15 times.
• 1:14:22
  I don't even know who Mac Jones is back would be at this point, but 15 times.
• 1:14:26
  Ouch. I don't know.
• 1:14:27
  There's an NFL record.
• 1:14:28
  Lawrence Taylor is coming out of the woodwork. All right.
• 1:14:32
  D'Angelo, who we got?
• 1:14:34
  Jakes, man.
• 1:14:37
  Definitely. They showed me a lot.
• 1:14:39
  I guess Houston the other week.
• 1:14:42
  They play gritty.
• 1:14:43
  They scrapped it out.
• 1:14:45
  I mean, well, yeah, he's definitely he's getting up to par.
• 1:14:48
  He's he's getting in his his groove.
• 1:14:50
  I feel like he might, you know, be the franchise quarterback for the Titans.
• 1:14:54
  It's leaning towards that way.
• 1:14:56
  But yeah, I'm going with Titans.
• 1:14:58
  I definitely think they win by at least one or two possessions. OK.
• 1:15:02
  Fair enough.
• 1:15:03
  Fair enough, Jake.
• 1:15:04
  Last but not least, wrapping it up for us, Jags at Titans.
• 1:15:07
  Taking Titans.
• 1:15:09
  Fishposh. It's Titans have more weapons
• 1:15:14
  than the Jags do right now.
• 1:15:16
  Like hand grenades, grenade launchers, bazookas, all that.
• 1:15:20
  Yeah. Or like who was the guy that said that in the thing?
• 1:15:23
  Sorry, I'm ruining your take right now.
• 1:15:26
  Then someone like some football player is talking about defense
• 1:15:30
  and he was talking about all those arsenal.
• 1:15:32
  He was really like it was Kevin Garnett or something.
• 1:15:34
  Yeah, sounds really funny.
• 1:15:35
  Either way, continue.
• 1:15:36
  Basketball take. Yeah.
• 1:15:38
  Oh, it's just like more and better weapons right now.
• 1:15:42
  They're just healthier. But no,
• 1:15:44
  I mean, the Jags did rally around Mack Jones,
• 1:15:47
  even though he didn't really play that well after he got
• 1:15:49
  or after Trevor Lawrence got hurt.
• 1:15:51
  But because the Titans had to pull that one out of their behind.
• 1:15:55
  Yeah. Last week.
• 1:15:56
  So but I think it's a matter of healthy talent.
• 1:15:59
  Titans. OK. All right.
• 1:16:01
  Jaguars. Yep. Got it.
• 1:16:02
  So yeah, Jaguars on the point.
• 1:16:05
  Did anyone take the Jaguars other than you?
• 1:16:07
  Me and our leader, Dan and Daniel.
• 1:16:11
  And I said I like for fourth place, Trey also took the Jags.
• 1:16:15
  So I try I got to go with who's winning.
• 1:16:17
  You know what I mean? Yeah.
• 1:16:18
  But if you did, you end up having to be able to clip that
• 1:16:22
  that there it is right there.
• 1:16:23
  So if you take a look right there,
• 1:16:26
  the standings are on the right side.
• 1:16:27
  I did add another column called games played there on the right
• 1:16:31
  to make some of us feel a little bit better that have been here for a minute.
• 1:16:35
  That but anyway.
• 1:16:38
  And then on the far right, you see some movement there.
• 1:16:40
  So Trey and Cody, you see Trey climb three spots, Kodak, six.
• 1:16:44
  They're both tied for four based on again, we're basing this on season
• 1:16:48
  win percentage.
• 1:16:50
  Ben dropped a spot. Jake dropped three.
• 1:16:52
  It was a rough week. Ouch.
• 1:16:55
  Don't give I'm lower than you.
• 1:16:56
  So you're good.
• 1:16:57
  Rob dropped two and is now tied with me again.
• 1:17:01
  But I don't I have the Robin.
• 1:17:02
  I have the same record at forty one and twenty four.
• 1:17:04
  Yeah, I call that. Yeah.
• 1:17:06
  I went to everybody.
• 1:17:09
  Dom Dom had a better week.
• 1:17:10
  Dom went. What do you go?
• 1:17:12
  He went four and one this week.
• 1:17:13
  So he was the best this week. Dom.
• 1:17:15
  We had three five and ohs.
• 1:17:18
  Ben five and oh, better.
• 1:17:19
  Trey five and oh, Cody five and oh.
• 1:17:22
  And then, yeah, Dom went four and one.
• 1:17:24
  Tyler went four and one. Matt went four and one.
• 1:17:27
  So a lot of movement this week.
• 1:17:29
  But if you look, all twelve of us are above five hundred.
• 1:17:33
  I mean, that's that's pretty cool.
• 1:17:35
  I know not all the experts on TV do that.
• 1:17:38
  Yeah. And we usually pick games that are pretty even.
• 1:17:42
  We try to not have a one sided Chargers versus Chiefs game very often.
• 1:17:46
  Right. Right. Attempt to.
• 1:17:48
  But it's going to get more interesting as we keep getting closer to the playoffs.
• 1:17:52
  Obviously, you'll be on the list next week.
• 1:17:54
  We have a two week minimum, though, before you get placed in the.
• 1:17:56
  Yeah, it could help you. Qualifier.
• 1:17:58
  You know, I mean, the work could be taking you away from a first place.
• 1:18:01
  You know what I mean? So, OK.
• 1:18:03
  So a hot start is a good idea.
• 1:18:05
  I mean, clearly, Dan showing us with which is record right now.
• 1:18:09
  Dan's record is 16 and four at the moment.
• 1:18:12
  So not bad.
• 1:18:14
  But like season long leader at the moment with 50 games played as Tyler,
• 1:18:17
  he's still showing that that's 36 and 14.
• 1:18:21
  Seven twenty.
• 1:18:22
  Solid where I want to say save percentage again.
• 1:18:24
  So hockey. But yeah, anyway.
• 1:18:28
  So there's our current standings.
• 1:18:30
  D'Angelo, thanks for joining us.
• 1:18:32
  So I appreciate you guys.
• 1:18:33
  Now, we're pumped to have you on.
• 1:18:35
  It's great to have a Detroit Lions fan in the house
• 1:18:38
  through and through and me inside the gate. Right.
• 1:18:41
  Yes, sir. Back next week. Yeah.
• 1:18:43
  What is it? One pride.
• 1:18:45
  That what you guys say? Yeah.
• 1:18:46
  I mean, he said, yeah, with the high.
• 1:18:51
  I mean, they got a lot of new fans, the grit sand.
• 1:18:55
  And I mean, hey, you know, once you start winning, you start changing.
• 1:18:58
  How about we just say Detroit, Detroit Lions?
• 1:19:01
  And they're winning the division right now.
• 1:19:02
  I thought it was just the Roars been restored.
• 1:19:04
  Roars. Yeah.
• 1:19:06
  Yeah. Restore the roar.
• 1:19:08
  And he was like, guys, please stop.
• 1:19:11
  They're what, eleven and one right now? Yeah.
• 1:19:14
  Got to feel good to be a Lions fan.
• 1:19:16
  They finally win it, you know, so for sure.
• 1:19:18
  Secretly, I'm cheering for you, too, but
• 1:19:21
  kind of. Yeah.
• 1:19:22
  Maybe when we're out.
• 1:19:24
  But Jake, thanks for joining us for another week.
• 1:19:27
  Thanks, Jacob.
• 1:19:28
  You're welcome.
• 1:19:29
  Hoping to see your your Baltimore Ravens.
• 1:19:32
  Maybe battle for the division even yet.
• 1:19:34
  Fingers crossed.
• 1:19:35
  You need Pittsburgh to lose.
• 1:19:36
  Yeah, that's a much needed loss.
• 1:19:38
  Let's make that happen.
• 1:19:40
  Do you think they can lose?
• 1:19:41
  Do you think there's a possibility Pittsburgh loses to Cleveland this week?
• 1:19:45
  Yes, because James Jameson Winston makes the Browns really scrappy.
• 1:19:51
  They are, though.
• 1:19:52
  Yeah. And the only the only downside is, you know, you know,
• 1:19:55
  he's good for three touchdowns and three interceptions every game.
• 1:19:59
  Really? And maybe like 300 yards.
• 1:20:01
  Yeah. Right. He's moving the ball somewhere.
• 1:20:03
  You know, it just might not be the same direction as everybody else.
• 1:20:06
  Yeah, he counted for six touchdowns yesterday and a really other team.
• 1:20:10
  Yeah. But hey, there's six of them.
• 1:20:12
  Thanks. Yeah.
• 1:20:14
  He just has weird, awkward press conference.
• 1:20:16
  This is my.
• 1:20:18
  He's goofy, man.
• 1:20:19
  He's goofy.
• 1:20:20
  He's funny. He might be fun to hang out with.
• 1:20:23
  He's funny.
• 1:20:24
  He's super fun to hang out with.
• 1:20:27
  I mean, old Seminole, you know, them dudes are crazy, man.
• 1:20:29
  I'm a Florida State dude.
• 1:20:30
  That's what you were talking colleges earlier.
• 1:20:32
  So, yeah. But yeah.
• 1:20:34
  Rob, of course, as always, thanks for being here this week, fam.
