listings for all our shows is go to our website at
2:29
www.worldwidesportsradio. Dot com I know everybody's
2:36
probably wondering if my voice is changing.
2:38
It cracked a little bit over the last 48 hours and I've been
2:43
screaming a lot. Not at anybody particular, but I
2:47
I mean, obviously everything that's going on in sports, you
2:49
have to scream if you're a Jet fan.
2:52
Are you mad about the Dante Moore move?
2:55
Does Dante hurt the New York Jets?
2:58
Well, ladies and gentlemen, we will get into that a little bit
3:01
later in the show. I I'll give you my take on it
3:04
maybe a little bit until next week.
3:06
I do have a story out Speedy and I know is it up.
3:09
It is up. Why don't you tell the fans what
3:12
the title of the story is? Yeah, so why The Jets are
3:16
winners? Because of Dante Moore is the
3:18
main premise of it all. You Jets fans, Errol actually
3:21
has a positive thought process on The Jets.
3:23
I thought long and deep and I mean long and deep about this
3:29
story when Dante Moore, the announcement, I know Nathan sent
3:32
us a a group text message that Dante Moore is going to head
3:37
back to Oregon. And everybody was like, there
3:39
was a frenzy out there. For all you New York Jet fans,
3:44
oh, The Jets aren't going to get their quarterback this year.
3:46
Maybe it works best that The Jets don't land their
3:50
quarterback this year. They wait until next year where
3:54
there's AI would say about 5 or 6 complete quarterbacks coming
3:59
out of the class and we can talk about that next year.
4:02
But I, I know a lot of people over the last, I would say 15
4:07
hours were upset because Dante Moore was sitting there at #2
4:11
because Mendoza is the predominant #1 pick after the
4:15
Oregon Ducks slashing. So a lot of people are upset
4:19
that maybe The Jets don't get a quarterback, but maybe The Jets
4:23
are sitting there at 2:00. Maybe they trade down and they
4:27
add to their draft stock with which Moji has done a
4:30
significant job going into the trade deadline and landing
4:33
themselves a positive draft stock of players that they can
4:38
land in the next two years. So I'm not upset about this, but
4:43
I'll get into the insurance and the outs.
4:44
I did it in my story. If you guys want to check it out
4:47
on the Worldwide Sports Radio Network, it's
4:49
www.worldwidesportsradio.com. The NFL Divisional Round begins
4:55
this Saturday with Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills taking on
5:01
Bo Nicks and the Broncos. The Bills have a top four
5:06
offense in both points and yards per game, while the Broncos have
5:10
a top three defense in both yards and points per game.
5:15
The Bills also own the number one pass defense in the NFL.
5:21
In the nightcap, Kyle Shanahan and 49ers take on possible Coach
5:26
of the year Mike McDonald to and and top seeded the Seattle
5:30
Seahawks. This is a rematch.
5:33
Of the week. 18 game where the Seattle Seahawks won, giving
5:39
them the first round by the 49ers.
5:43
Beat the Seattle Seahawks way back in Week 1, splitting this
5:48
season series. In this NFC West rivalry, the
5:53
Seahawks have the number one points per game has the number
5:56
one points per game defense in the NFL against the 49ers
6:00
offense, which is top ten in both yards and points per game,
6:05
but will be without George Kittle with a torn.
6:10
Achilles Sundays Sundays kicks at Sundays games kick off with
6:15
the with. CJ Strout and the Houston Texans
6:18
traveling to Foxborough to match up with Drake May and the
6:22
Patriots. Both teams have excellent
6:24
defenses, with the Texans ranked near the top of the league in
6:28
mostly everything every category.
6:31
Quarterback Drake May will have to get his offense going after
6:36
only scoring 16 points last week against a tough Chargers.
6:41
D. Finally, Sean McVeigh and the
6:45
Rams travel to Chicago to take on rookie head coach Ben Johnson
6:50
and the Bears. These two offenses are elite.
6:55
The Rams ranked number one in the NFL with MVP favorite
6:59
Matthew Stafford at quarterback and stud wide receiver
7:03
Pukanakua, while 2 thousand 2024's number one pick Caleb
7:09
Williams looks to keep the magic going after a huge comeback win
7:14
over the Packers in the Wild Card game.
7:19
Everybody here in New York can't wait until this game against the
7:25
Broncos. And again, it's not a prime time
7:29
game. It's it's the first game of the
7:33
weekend and that to me froze me off.
7:36
I Josh Allen, it is to me the best quarterback out of all
7:41
these quarterbacks still in the playoffs.
7:44
He's the big superstar. This is the guy that Errol do
7:48
we? Do we know why they like
7:51
schedule those games? Like do they pick a game?
7:54
No, the NFL. I have no idea why the NFL
7:58
decided to go with the Buffalo Bills as the first game.
8:01
And the NFL has their own obviously choices.
8:04
Maybe they think the headlining game is Seattle in the 49ers,
8:08
being that the the Seattle Seahawks in the 49ers have
8:11
played against one another a significant amount of times in
8:14
both games were fun to watch. I don't know, but I will say
8:18
this, watching the Buffalo Bills last week and seeing what Josh
8:23
Allen is as as a player on his team as an important piece to
8:29
that team, it only shows you why I believe.
8:34
This is a. Prime time game, everything you
8:36
think about when it comes to quarterback play, when you want
8:39
a strong arm, a guy that can move outside of the pocket, run
8:42
through people, run through walls, when it comes to getting
8:45
first downs, this is what this man does.
8:48
And I'm not saying Bo Nicks isn't a good quarterback.
8:50
I'm not saying Bo Nicks can't win this game in Denver.
8:54
This team was the number one seed in the AFC, but a very weak
8:58
AFC. All season long.
9:00
It was either the Broncos or the Patriots.
9:02
The Patriots with their, I guess, scale of schedule when it
9:06
comes to their teams that they played and the Broncos who
9:10
really barely won most of their games, they should have lost
9:13
against The Jets. If we go on and on and on about
9:16
their record and their complete games, especially finishing
9:21
games the way they did, they remind me of the Minnesota
9:24
Vikings when they played the New York Giants, when the Giants
9:27
knocked them out in the divisional game.
9:29
Remember that to me? Oh yeah, that was, but it's also
9:32
author viewership two of those games to like you, you look at
9:36
time zones and and all the other stuff.
9:38
So I, I think that's probably what goes into it of
9:43
understanding how much I you're going to get on the game, even
9:49
though like as, as we see it, we see the best game that should be
9:53
prime time. Dude, the best game is no doubt
9:56
the Buffalo Bills I. Don't know I I'm not
9:58
disagreeing. And the Broncos, first of all,
10:00
the Broncos are West, they're W team central, whatever.
10:04
They are right behind Las Vegas. So they're 3 hours a difference
10:09
over here from New York. And, and to me, I'd rather see
10:13
Buffalo Bill, the Buffalo Bills in a prime time game, maybe move
10:16
Seattle, or maybe you take Seattle, move them to the second
10:20
day and move the Patriots as game #1 why does anybody want to
10:24
see the Texans versus the Patriots?
10:26
I know it's game number one on Sunday.
10:29
I don't want to watch that game. The Patriots, yeah, they were
10:32
the number two seed. Were they really, Are they
10:34
really worth the time and energy to watch?
10:38
Yeah. Drake May is our MVP candidate.
10:40
That's because honestly, when you look at the the quarterbacks
10:43
that played this year, Lamar Jackson wasn't healthy this
10:46
year. You know, Joe Burrow wasn't
10:47
healthy this year. If you Patrick Mahomes wasn't
10:50
healthy this year. So you you look at the the
10:53
quality of quarterback play, of course you look at Matthew
10:56
Stafford as a veteran. You would think after what
10:59
Matthew Stafford did and probably the hardest division in
11:02
football this year, you would give it to him.
11:04
But everybody likes Drake May because of Drake May winning 10
11:07
games in a row and what Drake May did all season long.
11:10
And then last week, I wouldn't say had the best game, but
11:14
played against Justin Herbert, who is I?
11:16
I'm not playing with Justin Herbert, an offensive line that
11:20
was 100% not healthy. He lost Slater and Alt Earl
11:24
Slater or before the season started, alt before the season
11:27
even went to the second-half. So you lost a significant amount
11:31
of talent before you even got into the playoffs.
11:33
And Jim Harbaugh, just there's a little bit of credit for what
11:35
they did. But to get back to the Josh
11:37
Allen situation, Josh Allen doesn't have superstar wide
11:41
receivers. He doesn't.
11:43
He's got one of the elite running backs in the league and
11:46
Cook and and Cook didn't. James Cook didn't look very
11:50
good. Last year, last week.
11:51
He didn't. And I, I want to see more of
11:54
this running game that has been the best running game in the NFL
11:58
all season long if they expect to beat the Broncos.
12:01
And the Broncos are one of the best run stopping teams in the
12:05
NFL, one of the best all around defenses in the NFL.
12:08
You wouldn't believe that when you think about who the head
12:11
coach is and Sean Payton. Sean Payton, who's an offensive
12:14
mighty coach. And going into the season, when
12:17
we had Sanderson on the show before the season started, I
12:20
asked him who is your second optional player that's going to
12:23
catch the ball? And he couldn't answer me.
12:26
Who did he give? Us a rookie.
12:29
A rookie. And maybe that's the reason why
12:32
this is the first game of the weekend, because there's no
12:35
superstar wide receivers. On both sides of the ball.
12:38
There really isn't there there. There are great wide receivers,
12:42
but one great wide receiver. But there's no elite wide
12:47
receivers in this game. And there's definitely no elite
12:49
tight end. No.
12:51
No, so you got you look at two from the viewership side, like
12:55
Bills fans are crazy. Like that's that's just.
12:57
That's why, that's why. So they're, they're going to
12:59
watch no matter what time the the game's on, right?
13:02
You want the younger kids to watch this game and and again
13:06
during the during Saturday afternoon.
13:09
What are kids doing? They're playing sports, they're
13:11
hanging out with their friends. It's still kind of light
13:14
outside. I I mean, it's getting dark, but
13:16
their parents are letting them go out and play video games.
13:19
You want these kids, especially here in New York and New York is
13:22
such a big market. The Buffalo Bills have such a
13:24
great following. What are you going to do?
13:27
You're you're this is back-to-back weeks where you
13:29
have the Buffalo Bills not at a prime time game.
13:33
And that's where job we could go back and forth on why the NFL
13:37
does this. And yeah, maybe they look at how
13:40
many, how many clicks are on whatever they, how they rate
13:44
the, the games or something. I don't know how they do it.
13:47
The NFL doesn't give us that information on how this all
13:50
works and how they decide from one team to another or one game
13:54
to another in a divisional divisional series.
13:57
What I do know is I I look at the Broncos and I look at the
14:02
the Buffalo Bills. Whoever wins this game I believe
14:06
is probably going to get to the Super Bowl.
14:09
As good as the Texans defense is and how good they looked against
14:13
the Pittsburgh Steelers, it's the Pittsburgh Steelers.
14:16
It's the Pittsburgh Steelers. It's Aaron Rodgers who's like 80
14:20
years old. This is this is a different the
14:24
both these teams, the Buffalo Bills and the Broncos are two
14:26
different teams. If they match up against the
14:28
Broncos, it's defense versus defense and it's not going to be
14:31
much of offense. It's going to be one of the most
14:34
boring games to watch watching the Broncos and the Texans.
14:37
And then if you look at the Buffalo Bills and the Patriots,
14:39
well, a lot of people predict could happen.
14:42
I don't know if I want to watch that game either, even though
14:44
both both games this year were fun to watch.
14:48
I I just to me as a football fan, I don't want to see the
14:52
Buffalo Bills and and Josh Allen play against the New England
14:56
Patriots and Drake May to watch the New England Patriots
14:59
obviously get lucky and jump ahead of the Buffalo Bills and
15:03
go to another Super Bowl with another quarterback.
15:06
I don't want to see that. Now, it could happen and I'm not
15:09
complaining about that. But the NFL has to look at these
15:12
in particular games and and wonder how did, like you said,
15:16
how do they choose from one game to another on where they start
15:19
the prime time game or where, which team or what, what game
15:21
they're going to put at prime time and what game they're going
15:24
to put out the game before I I don't get it.
15:26
But again, looking at this game, it's, it's really the the two
15:32
defensive teams. The Buffalo Bills are one of the
15:34
best pass rushing defenses in the league, but they can't stop
15:37
the run. And the Broncos, who lost the
15:40
running back early in the season, have this kid Harvey,
15:43
who a lot of people like. Is he going to have a lot of
15:46
pressure on him? And are the Broncos going to put
15:49
Sean Payne, going to put a lot of pressure on him to take the
15:52
pressure off his young quarterback at Bo Nicks?
15:54
Because Bo Nicks has been here before, but he came up short.
15:59
He's seen this before. Sean Payton has done a
16:03
successful job with a with a rookie quarterback while second
16:06
year quarterback. But the way I still look at it,
16:09
he's still a young quarterback who's played college football
16:13
till the age of 2425. So he's one of the older second
16:17
year quarterbacks we've seen in a very long time.
16:19
Has been successful in his freshman year and has been up
16:22
and down in his sophomore year. I don't know if I'm up to
16:26
watching this game, I'm going to watch it.
16:28
Obviously, I'm rooting for the Buffalo Bills, but there's
16:31
nothing in this game that stands out to me.
16:34
Really nothing. The battle of the coaches,
16:36
really. I know Sean Payton has a heavy
16:38
advantage and everybody's going to give Sean Payton the heavy
16:42
advantage. Now, that doesn't mean Sean
16:43
Payton's going to win, but Sean Payton's the only one out of
16:46
these two coaches that have won a Super Bowl before.
16:50
And again, when everybody, all the giant fans out there are so
16:52
excited about John Harbaugh, if they land John Harbaugh, I mean,
16:56
half of these guys, Mike Tomlin's won one Super Bowl,
16:59
Mike McCarthy won one Super Bowl, John Harbaugh won one
17:03
Super Bowl. So you you look at the game
17:05
advantage in this game, obviously winning goes to Sean
17:09
Payton. But the Buffalo Bills have been
17:11
here every single year, and this is your chance.
17:15
They don't have to jump Lamar Jackson.
17:17
They don't have to jump the Cincinnati Bengals.
17:20
They don't have to jump Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City
17:24
Chiefs, who are their kryptonite.
17:26
It's been that way for the last few seasons.
17:30
This is his chance. You knock off the Broncos, you
17:33
can book their way to the Super Bowl.
17:35
I think they beat the Texans. I think they beat the Patriots.
17:38
This is their chance. When I when you look at this
17:41
game, I I mean it. There's nothing that I really
17:44
speedy. Does anything in this game stand
17:46
out to you that you're excited to watch?
17:48
Yeah, it's interesting because the Broncos running attack has
17:51
been good in the second-half of the season.
17:53
But again, is it enough for you could trust a rookie to just do
17:56
things randomly all at once? And we saw that in the Super
17:58
Bowl run the Broncos had with Peyton Manning.
18:00
They had Ronnie Hillman and CJ Anderson, guys like that break
18:03
out of nowhere. So if they could expose that
18:05
match of advantage in the game because they do have the
18:07
offensive line. The Broncos offensive line and
18:09
the Bills offensive line are both top five in the league this
18:11
year. But the Broncos cannot win if
18:13
with a high passing volume and expect to be able to win this
18:15
game because the Bills secondary has been very good and the Bills
18:18
pass rush is still very good. That's not my question.
18:22
I asked you why do you think this game is so exciting?
18:25
If if you're not a fan or you're not interested in football and
18:29
some of your your girlfriend pops on a football game and
18:33
you're not interested in sports, what would sell you about this
18:36
game? Potentially turnovers I think
18:38
for one with their. With, oh, that's what it is,
18:40
potential turnovers. That's why I'm going to watch
18:43
the game. If you were a new fan and you
18:47
wanted to watch this game, what would sell me to watch this
18:50
game? Give me, give me your sale.
18:52
Pitch Well, yeah, the main thing is Josh Allen, obviously, he's
18:54
the most talented quarterback right now in the league and.
18:57
That's your sale pitch. I'm just.
19:00
Analyzing a a thing. Like I'm asking you give me a
19:03
sale pitch. I'm not.
19:05
I'm analyzing a game. I'm I'm analyzing you on you
19:09
trying to sell me to watch this game because to me, when I look
19:12
at I want to see this as a product on game because I want
19:15
to see Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills on a product on
19:17
game because this is a New York team.
19:20
But besides that, if you were trying to sell this to a
19:24
sponsor, how would you sell it? Josh Allen?
19:27
That's it. What if if you're watching,
19:29
you've watched both these teams all season long and I've watched
19:32
both these teams and up and down the Buffalo Bills have been up
19:35
and down all season long. They're they they picked up
19:38
their their games in the second-half of the season.
19:41
Josh Allen really had to pick up his game.
19:43
He didn't have the season he had last year.
19:45
But I don't even think Josh Allen should have won the MVP
19:48
last year. Lamar Jackson should have, But
19:51
if I look at this game and I'm looking at the Broncos,
19:53
obviously Jabba's his. His son Cart is a big Broncos
19:57
fan. If you're not a fan of any of
19:59
these teams, what would you do if you were trying to sell this
20:02
game to a fan that's not? Interested.
20:05
Yeah, it's not again, it's not a team that's it's not either one
20:07
of these teams that have one flashy receiver.
20:09
I think that's maybe where you're the angle you're getting
20:11
at because that's the other position that gets a lot of
20:12
hype. Obviously outside of the
20:13
quarterback and you talk about it like Courtland Sutton's
20:15
really the only receiver that is like a is a star in any.
20:19
He's not a *. It's a great play, yeah.
20:21
Again, he's in that second tier of all, right?
20:23
He's deserving of his contract, A20 plus $1,000,000 a year wide
20:26
receiver. But again, that's what you're
20:28
looking at when it comes to those flashy names because James
20:31
Cook would be the other one that is kind of a flashy name.
20:33
But Even so, he's a fourth year running back that really only
20:36
started to get going in the second-half of the 2023 season.
20:38
But Speedy, you're right. I think like where Errol's going
20:43
with it. But I think you said it's like
20:46
it is Josh Allen. And that's kind of what what we
20:49
talked about previously is like those one ABC guys of franchise
20:55
quarterbacks. And what changes the team like
20:59
Josh Allen is the drive. And I think what Errol was going
21:03
towards was like what, other than Josh Allen?
21:06
Because let's, let's we're stating the obvious.
21:10
What other gets you excited about it?
21:12
No, I understand what you guys are saying and you're right
21:15
because most of these other teams are built on the offensive
21:17
line. When the Broncos and the Bills
21:19
both are top five and they have pass rushes.
21:20
Broncos are definitely top five pass rush and the Bills are
21:22
probably a top 10. So they're built in the trenches
21:25
that don't have as much of the. Flash, we know defense wins
21:27
championships, but the NFL has built the league on offenses and
21:31
and both teams. When you look at Sean Payton, he
21:34
has been Mr. Offense. He came from the Saints.
21:37
He came from Drew Brees. 5000 hard seasons with Rue Brees,
21:41
dominant offenses from the Saints year in and year out.
21:45
Their defenses were good as we all know that the gates that
21:49
happened over there. Yeah.
21:50
And then they fell off badly after that.
21:52
Yeah, but again, you you expect Sean Payton to put up big time
21:56
points and and this year their offense wasn't elite.
21:59
I'm sorry they weren't. And Bonex had his big days and
22:02
his big games. They were against bad teams
22:05
mostly. Yeah, I was going to say a lot
22:06
of he's had a lot of big games, but just not enough consistency
22:09
and that's why their offense is still outside the top 10 as a
22:11
result. So maybe that's why the NFL
22:13
decided to move. That's where I was getting at.
22:16
Maybe the NFL was looking at the Broncos and looking at the Bills
22:20
and saying, hey, this is not going to be a highly profiled
22:23
offensive game. This is, this might scare our
22:26
sponsors away because this could be a low scoring game, which
22:30
more than likely when the NFL thinks about these kind of
22:33
things, they're high scoring games.
22:35
They're completely different the way the NFL expects them to be.
22:39
But yes, Josh Allen is the big name.
22:41
He's the the big draw. But back and forth, when you
22:45
look at these two teams, I don't think there's anything about
22:47
these two teams that makes me get hot or makes me get want to
22:52
get high. I mean, seriously.
22:54
Kenny Kenny will get high no matter what football games are
22:56
at. This point, I'm just speaking
22:58
the truth here, and maybe that's why.
22:59
And Speaking of something that's going to get you really hot is
23:03
the Seattle Seahawks and the 49ers, because you got CMC, you
23:08
got him over there. Christian McCaffrey is one of
23:11
the more elite offensive options in the NFL.
23:14
And then you have Seattle Nick Jigbaugh, one of the best, if
23:17
not the best wide receiver in the NFL.
23:20
You have Sam Darnold, Brock Purdy, Sam Darnold, who's a top
23:23
three pick by the New York Jets, who's flourished over there in
23:27
Seattle. And then you have Brock Purdy.
23:29
It was the last pick in the seventh round and has become an
23:33
elite quarterback right in front of our eyes.
23:35
And that was in the same draft where I, I think San Francisco
23:38
go trade it up three first round draft picks to get a guy that is
23:43
a, a, what is he 1/3 backup, backup corner with the Chargers?
23:47
I mean, he's horrible. So it just shows you how the NFL
23:51
looks at these games and that's where I was getting at.
23:54
That's the whole point. Speedy's trying to nitpick and
23:57
try to look at the analytics. There's nothing analytic about
24:00
both these games except you have a team and two game, two games,
24:05
one game that could be so very boring as we watch the Patriots
24:09
and the Chargers play against one another in the, well, the
24:12
second to final game, Sunday Night Football, where you would
24:14
think Sunday Night Football is the draw.
24:17
Everybody wants to watch Sunday Night Football.
24:20
You know what? We watch A-60, a 16 to 3
24:24
debacle, and we watched Drake May and, and really, I think a
24:29
Patriot defense that's pretty damn pretty good against an
24:32
offensive line that shouldn't have showed up because they're
24:35
like 4th, 4th tier, you know, offensive lineman.
24:40
They shouldn't have even played in that game.
24:42
So that's that's where I know that's a good picture right now.
24:46
That's a good picture right there.
24:47
I I wouldn't, I wouldn't ask speedy to sell anything to
24:51
anybody. I wouldn't want to.
24:52
Sell anything. But that's what you are.
24:53
You're an analytic guy. Wouldn't you?
24:55
Wouldn't you try to sell this? No, I, well, I would and I I
24:59
will. I could sell the Seattle
25:00
Seahawks. I can sell the 49er and Seahawk
25:04
game. And I'm like, here's my sell.
25:05
When you look at elite teams offensively all season long, I
25:10
would pick both these teams. Rock Purdy, the last three weeks
25:14
has been as good of any as any quarterback in the league.
25:17
It didn't matter who they played.
25:19
He was elite all. Ever since he's come back and
25:24
then you look at a guy like Sam Darnold and what he has done
25:28
after getting that three-year, $100 million contract by the
25:32
Seattle Seahawks in the offseason.
25:33
Him and Nick Jigba have been a dynamic duo and they've got a
25:37
great running game. Charbonnet and Walker.
25:41
I mean that these guys are as good as a tandem in the NFL
25:45
right now. They're.
25:46
Off what do you think? What do you think the difference
25:48
in this game is going to be? I think it's going to be the
25:51
trenches. I think it's going to be what
25:54
offensive line is going to take over the game when they need to
25:57
to protect their quarterbacks. And I'm going to say the
25:59
defenses now. Robert Sala last week was
26:04
fantastic. His play calling last week was
26:08
elite. When you look at the Eagles, the
26:10
Eagles aren't an elite offensive team all season long, but they
26:13
have elite players. A.J.
26:15
Brown at one point was elite. Smith is an elite player.
26:19
Goddard they have elite player. Saquon Barkley they have elite
26:23
players. And what Robert solid did was he
26:26
used their his strengths of his defense.
26:29
He had a Kendricks what 48 hours before the game had him
26:34
understand the offense to run his offense and what did he do?
26:37
He made this, he made the Eagles beat them the way they couldn't
26:42
beat teams all season long is use the air and they couldn't
26:46
get the ball to their stars, they couldn't get the ball to
26:48
A.J. Brown and they couldn't get the
26:50
ball to Smith. And to me, that was the reason
26:53
why I believe the 49ers won the game.
26:57
And that's why I think this game is going to be interesting
27:00
because you're going to have a cat and mouse game.
27:03
You're going to have McDonald, who's one of the best defensive
27:05
minds in the NFL right now, who's a head coach that really
27:09
has delivered one of the elite offenses in the league and a
27:13
very good defense all season long.
27:16
And he he brought veteran players, ex Jets and Giants,
27:20
Giants, Giants players to this team to help absorb the
27:24
weaknesses that this team has had when they had guys like Pete
27:28
Carroll there and Geno Smith. And you can see the difference
27:31
of this team and the way they rotate, take their players and
27:34
how much talent they have on their bench.
27:37
If a play goes down, another man comes up.
27:39
And that's that's the difference of this game.
27:41
And that's why I think this game is going to be probably the best
27:44
game of the weekend. Speedy is the fact, yeah, George
27:47
Kittle is gone. It does affect the 49ers the way
27:50
they run their offense. No doubt that it does.
27:53
But when you look at both these teams, they have elite star
27:57
power, elite. Could you imagine if Nick Bosa
28:00
was in this game or Fred Warner was in this game?
28:04
You know much? That's even crazier to think
28:06
about it because the 49ers are not being that elite defense all
28:10
season long. But Robert Saleh has figured out
28:13
what his strengths and weaknesses are at the end of the
28:15
season. And it's changed the factor of
28:18
why the 49ers have moved on and the Eagles are sitting home
28:21
playing golf. So I I think that this game
28:24
stands out more than any of these games this weekend because
28:28
of the factor of the talent on both sides of the ball.
28:31
Yeah, I'm. Curious on the how the Seahawks
28:33
are the Seahawks going to adjust to the Christian McCaffrey from
28:36
the receiving game? Because they've done it in the
28:37
running game so far. But sometimes those flat passes,
28:41
that's why they a kiddo injury hurts because they if the
28:43
Seattle Seahawks had one weakness last year, this year
28:46
has been against tight ends. They're not great.
28:47
They're league average against them, so if McCaffrey or any one
28:51
of these other bigger slot receivers can get it going for
28:53
the Niners, that would be the adjustment.
28:55
That Jawan Jennings, I mean, he knows how to throw the ball,
28:57
yes. Jawan, what kind of trick plays
29:01
Kyle Shanahan could pull out? And then on the other end of it
29:04
for the 49ers, can they get protection on the offensive line
29:07
against that? Seattle interior roster's been
29:10
really good this year and I talked about it with certain
29:12
quarterbacks struggling against interior pressure.
29:15
Rock Party I think has been one of them in his career.
29:17
The Niners have not sometimes put either use Check or Kittle
29:20
enough as a blocker to help them out.
29:22
And now with use Check being the only guy there and having be
29:24
used to receiver a lot last week, especially in the
29:26
second-half when Kittle was down, will they be able to be
29:29
able to block Byron Murphy and guys like that up front?
29:31
And then on the other side, the 49ers have game plan for Najigba
29:34
pretty well each of the first two meetings.
29:37
Najigba got it going later in that game, but the Niners young
29:40
secondary looked really good. And it's your boy Bembe Salah.
29:42
Can he adjust to actually be creative in his scheme like he
29:45
was last week against Seattle? We will see because McDonald has
29:48
always been creative in his scheme.
29:50
Well, and that's the thing too, and I'm glad Fish jumped in here
29:54
because I've always looked at it too.
29:58
And you guys have opened my eyes to like so many different
30:02
aspects of the game where now Errol even touched on it a
30:07
little bit. Like what coach with this
30:12
certain aspect of the game, who who's going to make that chess
30:16
match, right? Who's going to who's going to
30:18
put the Rook in position? Who's going to put the Bishop
30:21
over here to get a checkmate? And you said it was in the
30:25
trenches. And we have one of the best and
30:28
one of the smartest people I know when it comes to coaching
30:32
and fish, where he can give us such a different aspect.
30:35
Because I think when you get to this point, everybody knows
30:39
everybody. It's who makes those adjustments
30:43
and how do you make them. And I think it's the talent is
30:47
obviously there. Yeah, we're talking about
30:50
viewership and all the other stuff.
30:52
But when it comes down to this game, I think it's it's very
30:56
different. And as you said it Errol, it's
30:59
like it starts in the trenches and this is where it goes.
31:02
And what is that chess match going to be do Do I move my pawn
31:06
here or, or what do I do? And and as fish can can speak on
31:10
this better than any of us because obviously when none of
31:13
us are coaches, where like what, what move do you make?
31:18
You know, Jabba, he kind of lost his Rook.
31:20
If we're going to talk about, you know, the chess analogies,
31:24
when you lose a guy who can do both receiving and blocking,
31:28
it's really a big loss. And George Kittle's loss is
31:31
going to hurt them in their run game and it's going to hurt them
31:34
in their pass game, but more in the run game.
31:37
I don't think people realize how hard it is to set the edge to
31:41
run an outside play. And they want to run outside
31:43
zone a lot. This is a staple of the Kubiak
31:46
offense, dating back to Terrell Davis and his father.
31:49
And in both of their fathers, you know this is what they want
31:52
to do. Back right now.
31:53
I will because that's where this offense comes from.
31:56
It's from Gary Kubiak and Mike Shanahan, and this is the same
32:00
offense with obviously a whole bunch of bells and whistles and
32:03
some real good trickery. I'm going to talk about that
32:05
trick play and Fish's play of the week and after the break I
32:08
have a whole bunch of stuff to say about it.
32:09
But before we get there, I want to answer your question.
32:12
I, as a coach, am always trying to see if I can't run outside.
32:16
It's not easy. The line has to move as one and
32:19
then whoever's playing tackle or if you have a tight end on the
32:22
field, has to be really good at setting the edge.
32:25
Jake Tongs or Tongas, I don't know how to pronounce his name.
32:27
He's going to fill in for Kittle.
32:28
Tongas. He's a good receiver.
32:30
I don't know if he's going to be able to block like Kittle, and I
32:33
would doubt it because nobody really blocks like Kittle.
32:35
I think he's the best blocking tight end who's also a receiving
32:37
tight end. Since Gronk played.
32:39
No one's Gronk, but he's the closest thing we've had to Gronk
32:42
since then. It's it's really tough.
32:44
And then you have Trent Williams and you had Kittle and you can
32:49
run to the left and you can pretty much be assured you're
32:51
going to get the edge pretty much every time if they didn't
32:54
get any penetration inside. CMC hasn't run as well this year
32:57
as he's run in previous years. He's typical.
32:59
He's he's banging on the door of 30.
33:02
Maybe he's not the same super athlete as far as you know,
33:05
burst that he used to have like straight out the gates.
33:09
I don't see it the same where he's making those moves.
33:11
But he's still a great, great player.
33:13
He's one of the best receiving running backs we've ever seen in
33:15
the history of the game. It's just they don't have a full
33:18
deck that they're playing against this Mike McDonald
33:20
defense. That defense is humming.
33:22
And I'm a little concerned that Shanahan is going to have to
33:25
rely on more trigger than he wants to in order to win this.
33:28
Well, usually, usually in these games and I and I, I will say
33:31
this, when, when you know you have your weaknesses, George
33:34
Kittle is not playing, you expect that obviously there's
33:38
going to be an advantage to the other team.
33:41
But again, I've got to give Kyle Shane a little bit of credit.
33:44
He's got pieces. He's got players on his roster
33:47
that might not be able to block like Kittle, but could open up
33:50
the open up the skilled positions and and again, they
33:53
have the ability to still open up the offense and the offensive
33:58
side of the book because they have CMC.
34:01
He's still 100%. Healthy.
34:03
That's that's where the chess mats comes in, though is like,
34:06
now that you don't have that piece and like Fisher said, you
34:10
took your Rook away. Now it's like, OK, how do how do
34:14
I game plan? And now because I know I'm not
34:16
going to be able to have that. Well, what he's going to do, and
34:19
I'm going to tell you what he's going to do, he's going to use
34:20
another offensive lineman. That's what he's going to do and
34:23
that's what he's going to do. And that's what Kyle Shanahan
34:25
has done all season long. George Kittle for years has been
34:29
hurt. He the guy is not a healthy guy.
34:32
He doesn't stay healthy all season long.
34:35
The guy fights injury every single year because of the way
34:37
he plays, he's aggressive and and the way he blocks.
34:41
So what is Kyle Shanahan like to do?
34:42
He likes to use 1/5 option, 1/5 optional offensive lineman or
34:47
sometimes he uses a defensive lineman in the way he runs his
34:50
offenses. So I've seen him do it.
34:53
He's a smart man. He's not a he's not stupid.
34:55
He understands the offensive side of the game.
34:57
But the problem with obviously over the last couple of years
35:01
since Robert Sala went to the New York Jets was the defensive
35:04
side of the ball, the play calling on the defensive side of
35:07
the ball. And ever since Robert Sala left,
35:10
the defense hasn't been as good as it was when he was there.
35:14
And now you see the difference. You see why Robert Sala was so
35:18
really important to the way the 49ers ran their defense.
35:22
And now you're seeing the difference.
35:23
Robert Sala doesn't have elite players on the defensive line.
35:26
He really doesn't. He lost two of the best players
35:30
at their positions in the league and what is he doing?
35:33
He's still finding ways to get to the quarterback.
35:36
He's still finding way ways to put pressure on quarterbacks.
35:40
And something that he hasn't done many, many times is
35:42
blitzing, and he did that last week a lot.
35:46
He blitzed something that he never did with The Jets.
35:49
And, and, and again, that's something that is trickery.
35:52
And maybe that's, that's the game plan.
35:54
And I think in this game, they're going to have to use
35:57
trickery if they're going to beat the Seattle Seahawks,
36:00
because Seattle is very well built.
36:02
They have a great offensive line, not a good a great
36:06
offensive line. They've got star power at the
36:08
running back position. They've got a good tight end.
36:11
He's not an elite tight end, but he's a good tight end.
36:14
And they don't have a number, a real top end #2 wide receiver.
36:19
But pick up arguably the best wide receiver in the league.
36:22
So when you have those kind of pieces and you have McDonald,
36:27
who is one of the elite defensive minds in the NFL, and
36:31
I don't want to hear anything from the Baltimore Ravens
36:33
anymore or any fans out there to tell me that McDonald isn't a
36:37
great defensive mind. Go look at the Baltimore Ravens
36:40
defense since he's left. I mean, they they were a top
36:44
five, top three defense. Where have they been over the
36:47
last two years? Last year they got worse.
36:50
This year they were one of the worst since McDonald's been
36:52
gone. So you see how important a coach
36:56
can be to run a defense. Speaking of important, CJ
37:00
Stroud. And I think this game is
37:03
interesting because you have the battle of two young
37:06
quarterbacks. CJ Stroud, where he was rookie
37:10
of the year a couple of years ago, this guy was probably had
37:13
the best freshman year we've ever seen.
37:15
A quarterback half. Bryce Young was drafted in front
37:18
of him and I, I. Remember that because Bryce
37:20
Young, the Carolina Panthers moved up to get him and a lot of
37:24
people, CJ Stroud was hurt when when when Carolina moved up to
37:29
get him and didn't draft him and he thought he was going to fall
37:31
out of the top 10. And what did he wanted to do?
37:34
What did he do after he got drafted?
37:36
He was thanking God, he was thanking everybody.
37:39
He was thanking the organization and the Texans saying that
37:42
you're not going to regret this. And I don't think the Texans
37:44
ever regretted drafting CJ Stroud.
37:48
Because if you look at what CJ Stroud has done as a player
37:52
since he's come into the league, even if even his ups and downs
37:56
in his sophomore year, he played great.
37:58
This year was his third year and he showed you he doesn't have
38:03
all his ducks in a row. He didn't need that in the first
38:06
half of the season. His defense was elite.
38:09
They kept the team afloat. And then as soon as Nico Collins
38:13
got healthy and his team fairly found somewhat of a running game
38:17
with marks, they're they're a different offense.
38:20
And I'm going to tell you this right now, the Texans have the
38:24
advantage against the Patriots, even though it's in New England.
38:28
And there's a lot of reasons why.
38:30
And I'm not saying Drake May isn't special.
38:31
Drake May is a great player. Drake May has not played against
38:36
the defense this good all season long.
38:38
He hasn't. Let's be honest.
38:40
He's never played a defense this dominant, especially in a
38:45
secondary. So what are they going to do
38:47
against Drake May? They're going to pressure him.
38:49
They're going to make him put the ball in places he is
38:53
uncomfortable doing as we saw them do it against a veteran
38:58
superstar quarterback, one of the greatest passing
39:01
quarterbacks of NFL history in NFL history, and Aaron Rodgers.
39:05
I don't know if anybody saw what they did to Aaron Rodgers.
39:08
They made sure that Aaron Rodgers couldn't breathe in the
39:11
pocket. They made him do things that he
39:14
was uncomfortable doing, and that's exactly what they're
39:17
going to do against the Patriots.
39:19
Young offensive line. This isn't a veteran offensive
39:22
line. This is a young offensive line
39:24
that's never been in a position like this before at all.
39:28
Half of these guys have never even played in a big game like
39:31
this. So Drake May's never been in a
39:34
big game like this. So when you think about that and
39:37
you see you see the position that CJ Stroud's in, CJ Stroud's
39:41
been in this position before. This guy took his team in his
39:44
rookie season to the playoffs. This guy has been as good of of
39:49
of quarter as good of a quarterback in the second-half
39:52
of the season. And where from any of the young
39:54
quarterbacks that we have mentioned over the last couple
39:56
of weeks, he has been sensational now?
40:00
I do believe the Patriots are going to put a lot of pressure
40:02
on him bar more is going to stress and put they're going to
40:05
put pressure on the gaps. They're going to make CJ Strout
40:09
move outside of the pocket. Where when you see CJ Strout
40:13
move outside of the pocket, he makes mistakes.
40:16
He doesn't step into his passes. He backs off on his passes.
40:20
He he throws on his back foot. When he does that, he doesn't
40:23
have as as as enough power on his throws and you can see the
40:26
difference in his game. And I'm going to tell you this.
40:30
I don't trust the Texans offensive line either.
40:33
The offensive lines been up and down all season long.
40:36
It has not been a good offensive line and now it's been probably
40:41
their problem in the first half. They've got better in the
40:44
second-half, but how much better?
40:46
Where are they ranked right now, Speedy?
40:48
18th. 18th against the defense and my Mike Vrabel, who Mike
40:54
Vrabel loves to use different blitz packages.
40:56
He loves to pressure up the seams and up the gaps and makes
41:00
the young quarterback make mistakes.
41:03
Bill Belichick was the king of doing that.
41:05
He finds your weakness and he he would bury your your strength
41:09
and, and attack your weaknesses. That's what he would do, and
41:12
that's what Vrabel does as a head coach.
41:15
So where do you where do you think he attacks the most in
41:18
this game? The running game because Drake
41:22
May is not going to have a #1 receiver anywhere close to the
41:25
cornerback levels that Derek Stingley is.
41:28
And obviously Kamari, even Kamari Laster on the other side,
41:30
if he's healthy is a good #2 this year.
41:32
And Errol talks about all the time.
41:33
That safety tool with the Texans too is really good.
41:36
That's going to make it interesting to see how they use
41:38
the pass catching running back. Same thing I was saying with the
41:40
49ers. If they can use that to counter
41:42
the the pass rush because that offensive line edition not being
41:45
very good. The Patriots is banged up to
41:47
Garrett Bradbury is not 100% healthy.
41:49
Will Campbell just came back from IR and we saw Fish in the
41:54
Giants playoff game against the Vikings when Bradbury was hurt
41:57
at the end of the year with Minnesota.
41:58
Leonard Williams was feasting over there, and Houston's got a
42:01
lot of guys on the interior, too that could do the same kind of
42:03
thing. So they're going to need a quick
42:04
passing game for Drake May to make it work, and the running
42:07
backs and the tight ends are going to be the best way to do
42:08
that. The key is the run game.
42:11
You're right, speed. And before I before I start to
42:13
interrupt just they they fed from Andre Stevenson last week
42:17
against the Chargers. I don't see that happening this
42:20
year. This week.
42:21
This is going to be a Trayvon Henderson game.
42:23
This is going to be an outside the edge.
42:25
Try to use speed, try to, you know, do some more sweeps.
42:30
Try to get outside these guys because you're not running
42:32
inside on this Texans team with that line, with that offensive
42:36
line against that defensive line.
42:37
I don't see it happening in a million years.
42:38
So you shouldn't give it to the between the tackles guy.
42:40
You should try to get to the home run guy.
42:42
Now that's going to put more pressure on Drake May if he
42:45
can't break one or two. We've seen him break a couple
42:48
this season already. He's he's that good.
42:50
It's going to it might be a defensive battle just like last
42:53
week where it's like 1 big play could determine the game.
42:56
Yeah, and that's where I think Houston's going to get.
42:58
Have to get secondary receivers because Christian Gonzalez gets
43:01
Nico Collins. Will probably cancel out with
43:03
both being big guys but if they can.
43:05
Get I don't think Collins is playing speedy.
43:07
He's has a concussion. They're talking that he's not
43:09
going to be ready. They're in a lot of trouble.
43:11
They have Higgins and Noel from Iowa State, and I believe
43:14
Hutchinson's also from Iowa State 3.
43:16
Years earlier, yeah. A few years earlier, Higgins
43:18
looked pretty good. Yeah, but he's the number 2 at
43:21
best in his rookie season. I don't no one really expects
43:24
him to be able to do that. And he's going to have one of
43:27
the best corners in the world on him.
43:28
Yeah. Schultz will be have to be the
43:30
guy that steps up for them. Yeah, it's, it's probably going
43:32
to be a lot of tight ends and a lot of running backs from both
43:36
teams. Errol, I know, I know.
43:38
You said you don't want to watch this game.
43:39
This is going to be boring. No, it is.
43:41
This one's the ugly game of the week.
43:42
It's. The Ugly if you like defense,
43:45
you know, if you think Drake May hasn't been tested, this is the
43:48
test. Can can he pass this test?
43:51
Because that defense is real. Will Anderson Junior is real and
43:54
they got about 8 other real guys on that that start the most
43:57
interesting game of the week and the weekend is this game, the
44:02
Rams and the Chicago Bears. And I'll tell you what.
44:06
Because obviously the coaches and we all know Sean McVay is
44:10
one of the best offensive minds in the NFL.
44:13
He likes the yap. He's got one of the worst voices
44:16
you've ever heard. I can't stand his voice.
44:18
I can't stand it. And then you have Ben Johnson,
44:22
who likes to curse. He's that young personality,
44:26
gets his players amped up in the locker room.
44:29
I love that about Ben Johnson. We heard him after they knocked
44:32
off the Packers. We saw what he did with Matt
44:35
Lafleur and he was trying. When Matt Lafor put his hand out
44:38
there, he didn't even shake his hand.
44:40
He smacked his hand. So you can see the personality
44:44
that Brent Ben Johnson brings to the table.
44:46
And then you look at the quarterbacks, Matthew Stafford,
44:49
a Hall of Famer, one of the greatest quarterbacks of this
44:51
era. And then you have Caleb
44:53
Williams, one of the most controversial quarterbacks in
44:57
the NFL, likes to paint his fingernails, likes to speak out
45:01
to the press in all different ways.
45:04
You like him, you hate him. He doesn't show up to film
45:06
there. There are things that Taylor
45:08
Williams has done this year that has you shaking your head, but
45:11
his talent, his God-given talent, what we've seen over the
45:15
last couple weeks, how many guys could do what Caleb Williams
45:18
could do when he's at the top of his game, he's.
45:21
Amazing, but that's what we talked about Errol too.
45:23
You you got to understand Ben Johnson let Caleb be Caleb and
45:29
we've seen you you said it early in the year you're like you
45:32
think he's going to be special. Well, then when I think we've
45:36
talked about coaches in this realm, when you allow somebody
45:40
to be able to be authentically themselves, and I've said that
45:43
before, you see special things. And we're like some of those
45:48
passes that he made, like there's no reason he should have
45:51
made those passes in that game in those situations.
45:54
If that was Caleb the year before and Ben Johnson and
45:59
obviously none of us, we, we don't know him on on an
46:03
individual basis, but he's like go be you, go be you.
46:10
And we've seen what happened and it's it.
46:13
It's going to be David, Goliath. I will.
46:15
Say this, it's going to be fun to watch.
46:16
I will say this, the Rams defense has been very good all
46:20
season long. They're young.
46:21
The front 7 is as good as any front seven in a league when
46:25
they get at the quarterback. But there are games they
46:27
disappear. And we've seen that in the
46:29
fourth quarter against Seattle a couple of weeks ago, that
46:32
defense different disappeared. That front 7 disappeared.
46:35
They have to play all out against this Chicago Bears
46:39
offensive line who have pro ball players on it.
46:42
They have good offensive lineman on this offensive line, guys
46:48
that have won Super Bowls before, guys that have been in
46:50
these situations before. And again, this is a Rams
46:54
defense that's very young. A lot of these guys had never
46:56
been in these situations before. Pukanukua is a superstar player.
47:00
He is he's he's fantastic to watch.
47:03
But guess what? Roma Dunes pretty damn good too.
47:06
So you have two elite wide receivers in this game.
47:09
We were talking about obviously the Broncos in the and and the
47:13
Buffalo Bills, how there's really no elite wide receivers.
47:16
There's a dozen of them in these games.
47:18
It what what we mentioned with the Seattle game and now the
47:22
Bears game. This is, to me, as fun of the
47:25
game to watch than any other games this weekend because, you
47:28
know, both teams don't like each other.
47:30
Sean McVeigh is going to be gassing on his sideline.
47:33
You're going to see Ben Johnson dancing and prancing on the
47:37
other sidelines. You have two teams that don't
47:39
like each other. Both offenses and defenses are
47:43
elite of elite. And, and I'm going to tell you
47:45
this right now, whoever wins this game can absolutely go to
47:49
the Super Bowl. As a matter of fact, my
47:51
prediction is I think that whoever wins this game is going
47:56
to the Super Bowl. I don't trust Seattle with some
47:58
of the young players in Sam Donald in an AFC title, an NFC
48:02
title game, and I know I don't trust the 49ers with some of the
48:06
injuries they have. I think this these two teams
48:09
have the best all around talent out of all the teams still in
48:13
the NFC and Job. I want to go back to what you
48:15
were saying about the scheduling, because the the
48:18
Bears and the Rams actually really benefit on they play a
48:20
longer week while the 49ers and Bills play a shorter week.
48:23
And I think that's something that could keep these offenses
48:25
very fresh. Because you talk about chess
48:27
matches, Ben Johnson and Chris Shula even on the defensive side
48:30
with the Rams, because Errol, you're talking about like they
48:32
have a good pass rush with the Rams, but they have a lot of
48:35
like really chess pieces. Besides that.
48:37
They have a lot of young corners, a couple they just
48:39
traded for just sign and safety. Same kind of thing getting him
48:42
from. Other Could you sell this game
48:43
speedy? I'm not trying to sell this.
48:47
I admit it. I'm not a salesman.
48:48
I'm a game analyst. I'm not.
48:51
I'll let I'll let somebody else do that.
48:53
But nevertheless, Ben Johnson coaches fearless and I think
48:57
that's the big thing you're looking at why they're here at
48:58
this point as fast as they were this year in a very difficult
49:01
division or the best division of football.
49:03
And they have a lot of receivers that are specialists.
49:06
Roma Dunes is a big body good possession guy still needs to
49:08
work on his route to DJ Moore is a good quickness guy off the
49:10
line of scrimmage and burden fishy.
49:12
We talked about it during the draft.
49:13
It's kind of a smaller receiver that's fast but not overly
49:17
quick. So it's somebody is interesting
49:19
where the Bears have to win though they're going to have to
49:21
run the ball really well early in the game because the Rams run
49:23
defense is top five in the football and that interior on
49:26
that defensive line is very good.
49:28
I mentioned it. Can they run inside against the
49:30
the Packers last week and they did.
49:32
Can they get the call? If they can do that and get out
49:34
to an early league because the Bears have been a slow starting
49:36
team, they could definitely win this game.
49:38
I'm leaning more towards the Rams right now with the
49:40
experience and talent. But the Bears, I agree with you,
49:42
Errol. If they win this game, I think
49:44
they probably go to the Super Bowl.
49:45
So. Well, and let's let's shout out
49:47
Sean in in the messages on on YouTube.
49:51
He's got Bears, Patriots, Super Bowl, that is.
49:54
Kevin and Kevin also said Bell Seahawks.
49:56
So I'll. Say that is that is a very
49:59
possible aspect if if things all come to fruition like we talk
50:05
about. I had Rams and Bells at the
50:06
start of the playoffs. Well.
50:08
It's going to be tough, though, because the Rams are going to
50:12
have to go against this. I think Caleb Williams is the
50:14
most talented quarterback in the NFL right now.
50:17
The throws he made last week were absurd.
50:20
It was like he was Kobe Bryant doing fadeaways, throwing at 30
50:23
yards on the dime, layering throws.
50:26
Roma Dunes got broke his foot or something like 6 weeks ago and
50:29
he's and he missed five straight games, came back.
50:31
He isn't the same guy. He caught that long bomb from
50:33
him on one of those crazy scrambles in the game, but he's
50:36
not healthy. DJ Moore is a gamer.
50:39
That dude's going to show up in the playoffs.
50:41
He had a touchdown last week. He's a tough dude, tough as
50:44
nails. He's one of my favorite players
50:46
in the NFL that's really unheralded.
50:48
I always take him every year in fantasy and he always has a
50:50
couple of 20 point weeks for you to because he's just that kind
50:53
of dude. I I really love their offensive
50:55
line. The Bears went out this
50:57
offseason when they hired Ben Johnson and stacked that
51:00
offensive line. You build through the line.
51:02
Ben Johnson's no fool if you can create confidence from your
51:06
quarterback, which he did this year, because Caleb did not play
51:09
with any confidence last year, for good reason with Matt
51:13
Heberfluss. But I'll tell you, this is one
51:16
of the most confident guys I've ever seen making throws that
51:19
nobody should be making. And you can beat great defense
51:22
and great scheme with superior talent.
51:24
And Caleb is the guy that I would be most afraid of if I was
51:28
Sean McVay in this entire playoffs.
51:30
And I don't know if he's going to be able to stop him,
51:32
especially if they don't get pressure, because that line's
51:35
really good. Thank you to all the fans out
51:37
there, including our handicappers Wes and Reno Johnny
51:41
for joining us as they always do for Let's Parlay giving us their
51:45
picks. They were horrible last week.
51:47
They've actually been horrible. They're actually horrible for
51:50
the last two weeks. So hopefully this week it's a
51:52
slam dunk for them and they get back on the winning ways for
51:56
them because I know, I know Wes will probably jump off a bridge
51:59
if he doesn't. Want to go undefeated because
52:01
they're different on the Bills Broncos game.
52:03
That's true too. Thank you to all the fans on

through. I don't know if I'm going to be
52:53
able to. I might have to stop at a couple
52:55
of gas stations and maybe drink a five hour, 5 hour juice or
52:59
whatever the hell they're going to give me, but she.
