Zach Wilson Gets Benched, Nick Shook's Underdogs, & Tyler Lockett Joins The Show · NFL Now

0:05
Speaker 1: NFL Now is a production of the NFL in partnership
0:08
Speaker 1: with I Heart Radio. So we were sitting in the
0:18
Speaker 1: newsroom yesterday and then again today saying, man, there's really
0:22
Speaker 1: not a lot going on. Wow, that changed at the
0:24
Speaker 1: last our Welcome to a Wednesday edition of NFL Now
0:29
Speaker 1: on NFL Network from our newsroom in Los Angeles. My
0:32
Speaker 1: name is Andrew Ceciliano. We might have four new starting
0:37
Speaker 1: quarterbacks week number twelve. Let's get to the big one,
0:40
Speaker 1: the big ones out of Flora Park, New Jersey, where
0:42
Speaker 1: after hinting he might do something on Monday, Robert Sala
0:46
Speaker 1: actually did it today. He benched Zach Wilson and he's
0:52
Speaker 1: naming Mike White the starting quarterback. Right now, it's a
0:56
Speaker 1: week by week thing. But right now, the Jets, after
0:59
Speaker 1: their loss to the Patriots this past Sunday, have fallen
1:02
Speaker 1: out of the a f C playoff picture. They're in
1:05
Speaker 1: the eight scene at six and four. The big thing
1:10
Speaker 1: I want to make sure I address on this one. Um,
1:12
Speaker 1: I just want to make sure you guys all listen
1:13
Speaker 1: to this very carefully. Please, Uh, Zach's career here is
1:17
Speaker 1: not over. I know that's going to be the narrative
1:19
Speaker 1: I know that what that's what everybody wants to wants
1:22
Speaker 1: to shout out, and that's not even close to the case.
1:24
Speaker 1: The intent, the full intent is to make sure Zach
1:26
Speaker 1: gets back on the football field at some point this year. UM.
1:30
Speaker 1: When that is, I'll make that decision. I'm going to
1:32
Speaker 1: take a day to day. The biggest thing with Zach,
1:34
Speaker 1: and the same things that we've talked about, is the
1:37
Speaker 1: young man needs a reset. Um. His decision making has
1:41
Speaker 1: been fine, his practice, habits, all that stuff have been fine,
1:43
Speaker 1: but there's some basic fundamental things that have gotten really
1:46
Speaker 1: out of whack for him. And this is just an
1:48
Speaker 1: opportunity for him to sit back, uh, focus on those things,
1:52
Speaker 1: find a way to get reconnect to all the different
1:54
Speaker 1: things that we uh we fell in love with during
1:57
Speaker 1: the draft process. And it's something that I feel like
2:00
Speaker 1: he's gonna be able to do. UM. I think to
2:02
Speaker 1: ask him to do all those things while preparing for
2:05
Speaker 1: a game is unfair. Um. But but at the same time,
2:09
Speaker 1: it's uh, it's something just talking with the Sack that
2:11
Speaker 1: I think we're all excited to attack. And this is
2:14
Speaker 1: you know, like I said, it's is it a small
2:16
Speaker 1: step back absolutely for him? But do I think it's
2:18
Speaker 1: going to be a great leap forward when when he
2:20
Speaker 1: does get a chance to reset himself. Absolutely, And um,
2:24
Speaker 1: so this is not a This is not putting a
2:27
Speaker 1: nail in his coffin, This is not that, It's not
2:29
Speaker 1: even close to that. But but I do believe at
2:31
Speaker 1: the end of this is going to be a rejuvenated,
2:34
Speaker 1: renewed young man that once he reconnects to is to
2:38
Speaker 1: all the different things that we're trying to reconnect to.
2:40
Speaker 1: He's going to show why he was the second pick.
2:42
Speaker 1: All right, there is a lot to unpack their Ian Rappaport,
2:46
Speaker 1: Mike Garrel, Folo, Mike White is going to start, and
2:50
Speaker 1: and Joe Flacco is going to be the number two.
2:52
Speaker 1: So ian Zack Wilson won't even dress this coming Sunday
2:56
Speaker 1: when the Jets face the Bears, He's going to be inactive.
3:00
Speaker 1: The line that stands out to me there is the
3:02
Speaker 1: young man needs a reset. Reset is the right word.
3:08
Speaker 1: And if you want someone to kind of take a
3:09
Speaker 1: deep breath, collect himself, having him watch from the sideline
3:13
Speaker 1: not a bad way to do it. And I remember,
3:15
Speaker 1: you know, the Jets sort of thought that this was
3:16
Speaker 1: going to happen last year, and actually thought it was
3:18
Speaker 1: gonna happen early in this preseason two when Zach Wilson
3:21
Speaker 1: had the opportunity to sit back, watch everything, just listen
3:24
Speaker 1: to meetings, not be the focal point, but just listen.
3:27
Speaker 1: Maybe it would help him moving forward. And Mike, this
3:29
Speaker 1: is not a case of Zach Wilson not working hard
3:32
Speaker 1: enough for not getting it. He works very hard. He's
3:35
Speaker 1: there at all hours, he tries everything is done the
3:38
Speaker 1: right way and in fact, probably would benefit him a
3:40
Speaker 1: little bit to take a deep breath and maybe not
3:42
Speaker 1: put so much on his plate, but that's just not
3:44
Speaker 1: the way he's wired. Clearly none of it is working,
3:47
Speaker 1: and this Jets organization hasn't totally I would say lost
3:51
Speaker 1: faith in Zach Wilson. There is any chance he comes
3:53
Speaker 1: back and shows him is that he is the franchise guy.
3:56
Speaker 1: But their biggest issue is a lot of other places
3:58
Speaker 1: they're really good, including the record, And so you cannot
4:01
Speaker 1: have Robert Solomike can't go in that locker room and
4:05
Speaker 1: say we're giving our team the best chance to win
4:07
Speaker 1: with Zack Wilson playing as he is. That's why Mike
4:10
Speaker 1: White makes a lot of sense yeah. I made the
4:13
Speaker 1: point of Good Morning Football yesterday that it would actually
4:16
Speaker 1: be easier for Robert Salad to stick by Zach Wilson
4:19
Speaker 1: if they weren't in a playoff Rakes. But they are
4:21
Speaker 1: right now, and the players are looking around saying, hey,
4:23
Speaker 1: we gotta put the best guys out there for us
4:25
Speaker 1: right now, and right now, Zack Wilson is not that
4:28
Speaker 1: guy now. Ian Rappaport Andrew, I'll tell you, is shaming
4:31
Speaker 1: me privately for saying that I was surprised by this,
4:34
Speaker 1: and in large part because I thought the surprise or
4:38
Speaker 1: aspect of it was that, you know, maybe you say
4:41
Speaker 1: like you're on the verge of being bench. Hey, I'm
4:43
Speaker 1: considering it. I'm not uh standing behind you the way
4:46
Speaker 1: that I have previously. So you got one more chance,
4:49
Speaker 1: and I thought this was going to be the one
4:50
Speaker 1: more chance. But the Jets make the move. And Ian,
4:53
Speaker 1: I hear what you're saying. He doesn't work. It's not
4:54
Speaker 1: like he doesn't work hard enough and all that stuff,
4:56
Speaker 1: and that's great. He's just got a bit of the
4:58
Speaker 1: yips right now, not as bad as somebody else in
5:01
Speaker 1: the New York market previously. It's not like Chuck noblock
5:03
Speaker 1: where he can't throw at the first base, but sometimes
5:05
Speaker 1: when he's trying to check the ball down or throw
5:08
Speaker 1: the short around, he's throwing five feet over guy's heads.
5:10
Speaker 1: And he was doing that back in the spring, and
5:13
Speaker 1: we were hearing a lot of that coming out of
5:15
Speaker 1: O T A S and minicamp and these other things,
5:17
Speaker 1: and you know, you want to say, well, relax, it's
5:20
Speaker 1: they're still in shorts. But now we're seeing it on
5:22
Speaker 1: a playing field, and I believe we're gonna roll a
5:24
Speaker 1: couple of them right now that you're watching. So you
5:26
Speaker 1: know that's why they want him to reset, take a
5:28
Speaker 1: step back, clear your mind, and then come back on
5:31
Speaker 1: the field. I do believe Robert Salo when he says
5:33
Speaker 1: that Zach Wilson will be back under center at some
5:35
Speaker 1: point this season. But yeah, he needs a pause, reset,
5:38
Speaker 1: whatever you wanna call. Yeah, And and Mike, you know
5:41
Speaker 1: you're sorry, just to follow up all and Mike said
5:44
Speaker 1: he And now we're both here hearing that Zach Wilson
5:47
Speaker 1: the yips was the word. We were told that just
5:49
Speaker 1: struggling to make simple basic throws, trying to figure out
5:53
Speaker 1: what was wrong was in his mechanics, was in his mind,
5:56
Speaker 1: like why are these simple throws just not able to
5:59
Speaker 1: be made? And this was back in the spring, sort
6:01
Speaker 1: of hope that somebody can work through it, and then
6:03
Speaker 1: he had the injury that did not help. So nothing
6:06
Speaker 1: has gotten better, forcing him to sit back and reset
6:09
Speaker 1: and make sense, if only just so we can go
6:11
Speaker 1: back to being a regular person who can make a
6:14
Speaker 1: regular throw, Sala said. And he was asked specifically, did
6:18
Speaker 1: Zack Wilson's comments on the podium after the game in
6:21
Speaker 1: which he said he didn't feel like he let the
6:23
Speaker 1: defense down to the rest of the team down to
6:25
Speaker 1: that factor. He said no. He said that Wilson did
6:28
Speaker 1: address the team and and said that he did not
6:31
Speaker 1: think there was an issue in the locker room. But
6:32
Speaker 1: you can go talk to the locker room about that.
6:34
Speaker 1: He said, everyone understands it. Also went out of the
6:36
Speaker 1: way to say, look, it's not all his fault, their
6:38
Speaker 1: drop passes, there are other things, but that they basically
6:40
Speaker 1: weren't doing the fundamentals, just running passing his words, not mine,
6:44
Speaker 1: like the easy stuff, getting the layups, and and when
6:48
Speaker 1: you're missing the layups and you have a top ten defense, uh,
6:51
Speaker 1: that's bad. And they do have a top ten defense
6:53
Speaker 1: after being worst in the NFL a year ago. To
6:57
Speaker 1: Robert Sala's credit, there all right, Ian, Mike, thank you.
7:00
Speaker 1: The numbers are bad. There's another way to sugarcoat it.
7:02
Speaker 1: They are really really bad and this team is not winning.
7:06
Speaker 1: Is it all his fault? No, not at all. Mike
7:10
Speaker 1: White is still a guy who last year week seven
7:13
Speaker 1: through for four hundred yards. He later had a game
7:15
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks later where he got picked off
7:17
Speaker 1: four times. Mark Rossbuckey Brooks Steve White with me now
7:20
Speaker 1: to make sense of a one that Mark I, I
7:23
Speaker 1: know we all saw coming. But once you do this
7:28
Speaker 1: and when they say, well, we're gonna try to get
7:30
Speaker 1: it back on the field, okay, great. So let's say
7:31
Speaker 1: he beats the Bears, or let's say he doesn't beat
7:34
Speaker 1: the Bears. He being Mike White. If you think Zack
7:36
Speaker 1: Wilson performs well in practice, you're gonna throw him back
7:39
Speaker 1: in against the vikings of the Bills. That doesn't make sense. No,
7:44
Speaker 1: I think now that you've made this move, that you
7:46
Speaker 1: can't play Zach Wilson the rest of the year. And look,
7:49
Speaker 1: Mike White is not good enough to get the Jets
7:50
Speaker 1: to the playoffs with the Super Bowl. Let's get that
7:53
Speaker 1: out of the way. He had his chance last time.
7:54
Speaker 1: He can't do worse than Zack Wilson. But he's not
7:56
Speaker 1: the guy. But let's just get back to zat Wilson
7:59
Speaker 1: and you have two l two layers. It's the on
8:02
Speaker 1: field which was terrible, and he looks like this guy
8:05
Speaker 1: is not a viable NFL quarterback. But then you got
8:07
Speaker 1: to go to the off the field. And that's really
8:09
Speaker 1: the bigger issue of when this week I said they
8:12
Speaker 1: have to pull this guy because there's been too many
8:14
Speaker 1: rumblings in the locker room from the head coach about
8:18
Speaker 1: guys not being connected to him. He's not a leader.
8:21
Speaker 1: They're not following him. And when a team does not
8:24
Speaker 1: believe in their franchise quarterback, they have nowhere to go
8:28
Speaker 1: with that guy. Now to sit Zack Wilson and let
8:31
Speaker 1: him learn he did that last year. Leaders that I've
8:34
Speaker 1: been around, the Eli Mannings that Donovan mcnabbs, they're born
8:38
Speaker 1: that you can't make a leader in the guys that
8:41
Speaker 1: I've been around, and I don't think you can make
8:44
Speaker 1: Zack Wilson into a leader. And there was some of
8:47
Speaker 1: this coming out of the draft with is he a
8:50
Speaker 1: true leader? Do the do his teammates follow him? And
8:53
Speaker 1: now you're seeing this manifest itself with the Jets. So
8:56
Speaker 1: will he become a better leader in the during the season.
8:59
Speaker 1: I don't think so. Is his career over Do the
9:01
Speaker 1: Jets have to try with him? Yes? But the best
9:04
Speaker 1: thing for him maybe to get out of there and
9:06
Speaker 1: years down the line improve on that a lot of
9:09
Speaker 1: Geno Smith, But I don't know any top tier great
9:12
Speaker 1: quarterback now in the league who has had his chance
9:15
Speaker 1: and then alienated the team. If that's what's going on,
9:18
Speaker 1: playing poorly and then say go sit down, You'll get
9:21
Speaker 1: better and be a great quarterback. Slid did mention. Geno
9:24
Speaker 1: Smith also mentioned our Kurt Warner who joins us next hour,
9:26
Speaker 1: as guys that, in his words, took a step back
9:28
Speaker 1: and then took a big step forward. We've seen it
9:30
Speaker 1: this year with Gino Bucky. I was listening to you
9:33
Speaker 1: and DJ on the Movie six podcast on Monday, and
9:36
Speaker 1: you guys both made the point that if you go
9:38
Speaker 1: back and look at the first half, it was windy,
9:41
Speaker 1: was Bill Belichick, you had a bad Denzel Mims drop
9:43
Speaker 1: that it wasn't nearly as bad as the second half.
9:47
Speaker 1: The second half was a disaster. What do you see
9:50
Speaker 1: when you look at the film? Look, man, before I
9:54
Speaker 1: can even get to the film, I knew it was
9:56
Speaker 1: over when he had the pro postgame pressor. Because the
9:59
Speaker 1: thing about the quarterback position, it ain't a physical position,
10:02
Speaker 1: it's a leadership position. That's why in the honey Ken
10:05
Speaker 1: give me the starting quarterback for the Washington Commanders, because
10:08
Speaker 1: there has to be something about the quarterback that gives
10:12
Speaker 1: the team hope. Whether it's his ability, is his moxie, grit, confidence,
10:18
Speaker 1: some of that has to show through. And when you
10:20
Speaker 1: hear guys come after Zach Wilson and take accountable accountability
10:26
Speaker 1: for the offense, his failures and he has it, it's
10:29
Speaker 1: hard to be connected. So Mark said it. Mark even
10:32
Speaker 1: said it in a very soft shoot way. It's a wrap.
10:35
Speaker 1: He can't be the starting quarterback for the New York
10:37
Speaker 1: Jets again and have credibility in that locker room. He
10:41
Speaker 1: is going to have to repair his career somewhere else
10:44
Speaker 1: because the guys in that locker room will never believe
10:47
Speaker 1: that he can give them to the Promised Land. What
10:50
Speaker 1: do you think, Well, I mean, look, first, there's just
10:52
Speaker 1: so much to unpack here, but but to get to
10:55
Speaker 1: bucking Mark's point, Look what we're seeing here, guys. We've
10:58
Speaker 1: seen Carson Wentz go this route. We've seen Sam Donald
11:02
Speaker 1: previously with the Jets go to the give it a try,
11:05
Speaker 1: bring him back. Guys aren't buying into him. You know,
11:09
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield. We're seeing these first and second, first and
11:12
Speaker 1: second round, our first and second overall picks not hit
11:14
Speaker 1: Marcus Mariota lose his job. So you know, Mark knows
11:18
Speaker 1: about personnel. It's hard to hit on a quarterback. And
11:21
Speaker 1: you look at you know, you try to overlook some
11:22
Speaker 1: of the things people are saying about them coming out
11:24
Speaker 1: of the draft. Is he a leader or not? Try
11:26
Speaker 1: and justify with the athleticism. Maybe, you know, you think
11:29
Speaker 1: you can coach him up. You have a certain locker
11:31
Speaker 1: room that could handle this type of thing. That's part
11:33
Speaker 1: of it. Now. You heard Ian and Garret Folo talk
11:35
Speaker 1: about him having the yips. How coinsled Dennett coincidental? Is
11:40
Speaker 1: it to you? Guys? They're playing the Chicago Bears this week, right,
11:43
Speaker 1: and they're playing justin Fields taking nine picks behind him
11:48
Speaker 1: in the same draft. Who's gotten it? They're playing in
11:51
Speaker 1: New York. Can you imagine if Justin Fields, who's nicked up,
11:54
Speaker 1: where to go out and outplay Zach Wilson. How those
11:56
Speaker 1: Illo Jets fans are booing Zach Wilson off the field
11:59
Speaker 1: if he has the yips? Now, what could that do
12:01
Speaker 1: to this kid's psyche? There's so much things we're hearing now.
12:04
Speaker 1: You know, you talk about a reset coming up. You
12:07
Speaker 1: can't put it back in if they're winning, well, I mean,
12:09
Speaker 1: and if they're losing, what does that say? Like the schedule,
12:12
Speaker 1: Let's say they beat the Bears, Okay, so well, he's
12:14
Speaker 1: gonna clearly start against the Vikings the next week. But
12:16
Speaker 1: let's say Mike White plays poorly. Wouldn't you then have
12:19
Speaker 1: to go to Flacco against the Vikings or Flacco against
12:23
Speaker 1: the Bills. I don't know, honestly why they don't go
12:25
Speaker 1: to Flacco now, I don't. I don't understand that part.
12:27
Speaker 1: And he played well in September. Well enough, This is
12:30
Speaker 1: just I mean, there's just so much going on here
12:32
Speaker 1: because we've seen guys like Jamis Winston get bench. Remember
12:34
Speaker 1: that year he's going back and forth with Ryan Fitzpatrick. Righten,
12:38
Speaker 1: he got it back a little bit Jamis never really
12:41
Speaker 1: lost the locker room um personally, you know where there's
12:44
Speaker 1: playing the interceptions, that was part of it. But I
12:46
Speaker 1: mean there was just so many things. You know, we've
12:49
Speaker 1: seen go back with these quarterbacks. It's hard to hear
12:51
Speaker 1: this what I want to go back to mark Um
12:53
Speaker 1: because we look at the Jets. They tried it with
12:55
Speaker 1: Donald inen they followed up with Zack Wilson. If this
12:58
Speaker 1: doesn't hit, I mean, what does this do organizationally? Because
13:02
Speaker 1: we see why the Jets they continue to lose. They're
13:04
Speaker 1: not chanting Jing because I can't hit on the quarterback. Yeah,
13:08
Speaker 1: as if Jess Fans haven't gone through enough tournament. First
13:10
Speaker 1: you got the sixth pick with Sanchez years ago, then
13:13
Speaker 1: you got Donald the second pick, you miss on that.
13:15
Speaker 1: Now you miss again on Zach Wilson, and yes, this
13:17
Speaker 1: set you back. You have the talented team. But okay,
13:20
Speaker 1: now where do we go in next year's draft? In
13:23
Speaker 1: free agency? We're trying to get that quarterback. But just
13:26
Speaker 1: going back to Zack Wilson again and the leadership and
13:28
Speaker 1: the players that I've scouted. You mentioned justin Fields and
13:31
Speaker 1: justin Fields his whole life was a leader, his whole
13:34
Speaker 1: life was the alpha. Comparing you talked about Carson wentzm
13:37
Speaker 1: with Heineke, But remember when Carson wentzon that Eagles drafted
13:41
Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts and he got in there. The team gravitated
13:43
Speaker 1: towards him. You know why, because Jalen Hurts was that
13:46
Speaker 1: alpha his whole life. That's all he knew. He exuded
13:50
Speaker 1: greatness in New York. Being the franchise quarterback, you have
13:54
Speaker 1: to be that guy one T four seven And we
13:56
Speaker 1: had Eli in New York, good batter of different struggles,
14:00
Speaker 1: all that, Eli still exuded that. I'm still the guy
14:03
Speaker 1: and the teammates loved him and fought for him no
14:06
Speaker 1: matter how good or bad he played, because he did
14:09
Speaker 1: everything the right way. He was a leader. The guys
14:11
Speaker 1: looked at him, and you just can't manufacture that in
14:15
Speaker 1: the team. Another quote missed by Solid where he said
14:17
Speaker 1: guys are irritated by him, they don't hate him. What
14:21
Speaker 1: I've just never heard that about a quarterback, a franchise
14:24
Speaker 1: quarterback and head coach say that. So I wasn't trying
14:28
Speaker 1: to saw suit Buck Bucky. You know you're you got
14:30
Speaker 1: a little more cash here you can say, you know,
14:32
Speaker 1: it's a rap for him. So yes, it's the wrap. No, no, no,
14:38
Speaker 1: I wasn't saying it like that. But look, Mark, let's
14:41
Speaker 1: be honest. You know, when you lose your team, you
14:44
Speaker 1: lose the locker room. It's hard for that guy to
14:46
Speaker 1: go back in it. And we have pointed out several cases.
14:49
Speaker 1: You talked about Carson Winz and Sam don On some
14:51
Speaker 1: of those other guys. It would just always be hard
14:53
Speaker 1: for Zack Wilson to stand in front of the team
14:56
Speaker 1: and give them this win one for the Gipper's speech
14:58
Speaker 1: and those guys are going wa wa wa walk. And
15:02
Speaker 1: so at the end of the day, what the Jets
15:04
Speaker 1: have to do, And I give Robert Salo credit. At
15:07
Speaker 1: some point, you have to make decisions depended upon like
15:10
Speaker 1: independent upon where he got was drafted, how much money
15:13
Speaker 1: they're making. You gotta put the best player in there,
15:15
Speaker 1: and it's clear right now he's not the best player
15:18
Speaker 1: to give them the best opportunity to win at quarterback.
15:20
Speaker 1: And so you have to move on. What they do
15:22
Speaker 1: with him after that you handle. But right now, for
15:25
Speaker 1: the Jets, they had to put somebody else in. If
15:27
Speaker 1: not Robert Sala loses the locker room, he begins to
15:31
Speaker 1: lose his own credibility in front of the team. Yeah,
15:34
Speaker 1: and to think back during training camp, a bunch of
15:36
Speaker 1: guys c J. Zala comes to mind wearing like the
15:38
Speaker 1: time Man of the Year Zach Wilson t shirt. But
15:42
Speaker 1: to their credit collectively, this team is playing well enough
15:45
Speaker 1: where this story is the back page now and not
15:46
Speaker 1: the fact that Aaron Judge is in San Francisco meeting
15:49
Speaker 1: with the Giants. Both the Giants, the Football Giants, and
15:52
Speaker 1: the Jets are playing well and they are relevant here.
15:55
Speaker 1: They're making a quarterback change in Flora Park. Thank you, Bucky,
15:58
Speaker 1: and thank you Mark. Steve as well, let's continue with
16:00
Speaker 1: more quarterback news here because the Jets do play the Bears,
16:04
Speaker 1: and Steve, as you may should Justin Fields is nicked up.
16:07
Speaker 1: He's gonna be on the practice fielding, and a Mike
16:09
Speaker 1: back with me what Matt eber flews Ian say today
16:12
Speaker 1: about Fields. He's gonna be on the practice field. But
16:15
Speaker 1: they're not practicing. It is basically a walk through today
16:18
Speaker 1: for the Chicago Bears as they pull back a little
16:20
Speaker 1: bit physically tommy year when players start to get a
16:23
Speaker 1: little worn down. That seems like where the Bears are,
16:25
Speaker 1: but probably good news though that Justin Fields is going
16:28
Speaker 1: to be limited in that walkthrough again not doing very much,
16:31
Speaker 1: but still gonna be out in the field at least
16:33
Speaker 1: giving him a chance to Mike that he would be
16:35
Speaker 1: able to play on Sunday. It is a left shoulder injury,
16:38
Speaker 1: it's not a right shoulder injury, and there is optimism
16:41
Speaker 1: among the Bears that he would potentially be able to
16:43
Speaker 1: get out there and play. The only issue is he's
16:46
Speaker 1: very physical. He takes a lot of hits, he runs
16:48
Speaker 1: a lot. So are you putting him at risk if
16:51
Speaker 1: you put him out there because he's not a pocket
16:54
Speaker 1: pastor and maybe he's you know, would have to play
16:56
Speaker 1: a little different than he otherwise would because he's injured.
16:59
Speaker 1: A lot of questions going into this for the Bears. Meanwhile, Ian,
17:03
Speaker 1: we had a segment on Good Morning Football in my
17:05
Speaker 1: second g MFB reference of the show so far. It
17:07
Speaker 1: was called head Scratchers and my head Scratchers. My head
17:10
Speaker 1: scratcher was going to be why is Lovely Smith still
17:13
Speaker 1: sticking by Davis Mills like you gotta make a change
17:15
Speaker 1: at some point. We never got to it, so I
17:17
Speaker 1: never made air. But Lovely Smith is going to make
17:19
Speaker 1: a change. Now, he wouldn't say it to the media
17:21
Speaker 1: today in his press conference, but sources tell me and
17:24
Speaker 1: also you and Tom, you guys were on it too.
17:26
Speaker 1: I'll give you a piece of the credit here that
17:28
Speaker 1: Kyle Allen will make the start for the Texans against
17:31
Speaker 1: the Miami Dolphins. Davis Mills, who had uh so so
17:35
Speaker 1: many high hopes surrounding him coming into the season, just
17:38
Speaker 1: hasn't delivered. So it will be Alan. I got a
17:40
Speaker 1: bunch of people saying who who on my tweet. How
17:43
Speaker 1: about a guy that threw for thirty yards a couple
17:46
Speaker 1: of years ago and his seven and ten in his career. Yeah,
17:49
Speaker 1: Kyle Allen back as a starting quarterback for Houston. Let's
17:52
Speaker 1: see if maybe the expectations that weren't delivered upon we're
17:56
Speaker 1: suttinly because of Davis Mills, or if it's a widespread
17:59
Speaker 1: problem with Houston. Smith quite combative on the podium today,
18:05
Speaker 1: Mean would barely acknowledge that they were playing a game
18:07
Speaker 1: on Sunday and said, we have a starting lineup. When
18:10
Speaker 1: it changes, I'll let you know. I love you. Have
18:12
Speaker 1: you actually picked the quarterback? Like he's just not telling
18:15
Speaker 1: us picking quarterbacks? What do you mean picking quarterbacks. We
18:18
Speaker 1: had a quarterback last week he pushed back hard. All right,
18:23
Speaker 1: coming up next? All the Patriots defense does his bench
18:27
Speaker 1: quarterbacks and get coaches fired? What do they do? The
18:30
Speaker 1: Vikings this week? Fulling into ballace. But you're to team
18:35
Speaker 1: for the South that I appreciate the world. Ye never
18:37
Speaker 1: calling me button. All right, I'm excited for football to
18:42
Speaker 1: mark because these games are great. We have five winning teams.
18:45
Speaker 1: We have the Bills, we have the upstart Lions trying
18:50
Speaker 1: to win four inn We got the Giants, got the Cowboys' focus.
18:52
Speaker 1: Now on the late game here on a day before Thanksgiving.
18:55
Speaker 1: Addition to the NFL now Patriots and Vikings two teams
19:00
Speaker 1: that had very different stories this past Sunday. Yeah, the
19:03
Speaker 1: offense wasn't that good for Jones, but they eat out
19:06
Speaker 1: of victory with a late punt return and the Vikings
19:09
Speaker 1: the worst home loss since the sixties. It was kind
19:13
Speaker 1: of ugly. All right, Well, we're um scrambling away here
19:20
Speaker 1: a short week. UM, really good team to get ready
19:23
Speaker 1: for here. Minnesota's very well coached team in all three phases,
19:30
Speaker 1: have a lot of explosive players. UM really good and
19:33
Speaker 1: all three phase of the game. So I'll be a
19:35
Speaker 1: big test force out there, tremendous football mind. The sample
19:38
Speaker 1: size is large. How long he's done it, um, with
19:41
Speaker 1: so many different players. Um. And I think he's he's
19:45
Speaker 1: always um, you know, adapted to whatever he feels is
19:48
Speaker 1: going to work that year, that week. Um. You know
19:52
Speaker 1: he's he's really the best ever. And uh you know
19:56
Speaker 1: his his track record speaks for itself. Kirk Cousins, they're
20:01
Speaker 1: obviously Mark and Steve talking about the man who preceded
20:04
Speaker 1: him on that sound by rip Bill Belichick who Steve
20:06
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago in essence, Sam ellen Ger
20:09
Speaker 1: benched and Matt Bryan I'm sorry, Frank Reich fired. And
20:12
Speaker 1: then last week now we have Zack Wilson benched. Um.
20:16
Speaker 1: So yeah, there's that for the Vikings after getting blown
20:18
Speaker 1: out by the Cowboys forty to three. I think Kirk
20:21
Speaker 1: Cousins and Kevin O'Connell, I think they're okay, I think
20:24
Speaker 1: you get but that's what he does. That's facts. It'd
20:26
Speaker 1: be facts though, as the kids say, but look, you
20:29
Speaker 1: know this is a situation mark when you when you
20:30
Speaker 1: look at this game, this page to defense is playing
20:32
Speaker 1: so well, they're gonna be a little problematic for Kirk Cousins,
20:35
Speaker 1: which is why Dalvin Cook has got to be a factor,
20:38
Speaker 1: right They They the Vikings have to keep it close
20:40
Speaker 1: early enough for Cook to be a threat as a
20:42
Speaker 1: runner and a receiver. Because you look back over the
20:45
Speaker 1: past few years, the Vikings go as Dalvin Cook goes.
20:47
Speaker 1: If he's out injured, they tend not to play well.
20:50
Speaker 1: But he's healthy, they tend to play well. So they've
20:52
Speaker 1: got to get him going in a game like this,
20:54
Speaker 1: and as you know, with the way the Patriots play,
20:57
Speaker 1: they ushould take away the best receiver, our best players
21:00
Speaker 1: at Jefferson or is that Cook. They'll probably start with Cooks.
21:03
Speaker 1: We may see him doing sometuff and stuff like this
21:05
Speaker 1: catching the ball. The key markers that get it back
21:08
Speaker 1: to you is can the Vikings get their offense going
21:10
Speaker 1: enough to catch an early lead to make this Patriots offense,
21:13
Speaker 1: which has a hard time scoring, play from behind and
21:16
Speaker 1: play catch up. Right. It's it's not as just the
21:20
Speaker 1: Patriots offense is a juggernaut. And going back to that
21:22
Speaker 1: Viking though, you know they're gonna be about their left tackle,
21:25
Speaker 1: Christian Darashaw. We saw how the Cowboys steamrolled that front
21:29
Speaker 1: last week, and now here you got NFL sack leader
21:31
Speaker 1: Matthew Judan coming at you. I think the difference is
21:35
Speaker 1: when the Vikings offense gets down, they just can't manufacture anything.
21:38
Speaker 1: But the Patriots offense has shown that they can manufacture
21:42
Speaker 1: offense and win games. Despite Matt Jones not being a
21:46
Speaker 1: prolific quarterback, as long as he stays out the way,
21:49
Speaker 1: He's got four touchdown passes seven interceptions this year. It's
21:52
Speaker 1: almost as if stay out of the way back Jones.
21:55
Speaker 1: The old tenants they can run the ball, special teams,
21:58
Speaker 1: the defense dominates, and they've shown they can. The Patriots
22:01
Speaker 1: have shown they can win games like that. So the
22:05
Speaker 1: Likings do not wanted to get into that sort of
22:07
Speaker 1: tight game with the Patriots because the Patriots and Belichick
22:11
Speaker 1: know how to do that. And mac Jones last week
22:14
Speaker 1: got lost. They only had three points before the Jones
22:16
Speaker 1: punt returned touchdown there. So it's not as if they're prolific,
22:19
Speaker 1: but they know how to win games like that. Andrew, Yeah,
22:21
Speaker 1: if there's any solace here, and if you want any
22:24
Speaker 1: history or any trend, three was the lowest that any
22:26
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins led team had ever scored the previous low
22:29
Speaker 1: with Cousins a quarterback in Minnesota and Washington had been
22:32
Speaker 1: six points. Both of those games were followed by games
22:35
Speaker 1: in which Cousins helped the team put up twenty eight.
22:38
Speaker 1: Don't know what that means this week, but Belichick Cousins
22:43
Speaker 1: in prime time Thanksgiving, everyone passed out from the turkey
22:46
Speaker 1: with the l trip to sleeping on the floor again.
22:49
Speaker 1: Sleeping on the floor. That's what I do. I just
22:51
Speaker 1: fall asleep on the floor. That's what I do. Okay. Anyway,
22:55
Speaker 1: what Nick Shook does, it's pick underdogs. He's with us
22:59
Speaker 1: every week day before Thanksgiving. Good to see a Nick
23:02
Speaker 1: yet again. Two and a half points. That's what DraftKings.
23:05
Speaker 1: As the Patriots are dogs tomorrow night. What do you
23:08
Speaker 1: like about the Patriots? I think a lot of what
23:11
Speaker 1: Mark just talked about, which is the fact that the
23:13
Speaker 1: Vikings have an issue at left half. I'm not having
23:14
Speaker 1: Christian darrisaw And also the Patriots have a great defense
23:18
Speaker 1: and getting after the quarterback. It starts with Matthew Judean
23:20
Speaker 1: leading the league in sacks with third team, but it
23:22
Speaker 1: extends beyond that, and it's part of a Patriots defense
23:25
Speaker 1: is playing excellent football. Overall, not just getting after the quarterback.
23:28
Speaker 1: They're five and one of the last six games, and
23:30
Speaker 1: they've allowed to combine twenty three points in their last
23:33
Speaker 1: three games. They're playing excellent ball, and that's of course
23:36
Speaker 1: the handiwork of Bill Belichick, who owns a two andeau
23:38
Speaker 1: record in games against Kirk Cousins. And they haven't played since,
23:43
Speaker 1: but in those in those games, Kirk Cousins passerading below seventies.
23:46
Speaker 1: So I think we might get a repeat performance. And
23:48
Speaker 1: that's why I like the Patriots. It doesn't really matter
23:50
Speaker 1: about their offense Mack Jones, and then they can just
23:52
Speaker 1: do just enough to win. This defense should lead them
23:54
Speaker 1: to victory. All right. The Titans, according to Draft kings Nick,
23:57
Speaker 1: are one and a half point dogs facing the Bengals.
24:01
Speaker 1: Correct me if I'm wrong, and I could be wrong.
24:03
Speaker 1: Where the Titans dogs last week in Green Like what's
24:06
Speaker 1: the deals here? Yeah? Yeah? And again road teams. I
24:10
Speaker 1: think the road teams end up playing a big factor
24:12
Speaker 1: in that. And and we learned that lesson the right
24:14
Speaker 1: way last week with the Titans, and and I think
24:16
Speaker 1: they're built to win. There's only one way to win
24:18
Speaker 1: this game, though I think maybe two, But one clear
24:20
Speaker 1: path to victory. You've got to dominate time of possession,
24:23
Speaker 1: you keep the ball out of the Bengals hands, and
24:25
Speaker 1: you ride Derrick Henry because on paper, statistically this matchup
24:28
Speaker 1: does not favor them. Tennessee is thirty against the past.
24:31
Speaker 1: What do we know about the Bengals. They've committed to
24:32
Speaker 1: the spread offense and throwing the ball all over the
24:34
Speaker 1: yard since Daddy though sevent against the run. The last
24:37
Speaker 1: time they faced a premier runner, that was Nick Chubb
24:39
Speaker 1: and Kareem Hunt. Those two combined for a hundred and
24:41
Speaker 1: forty three yards on thirty four carriers. We know how
24:43
Speaker 1: the Browns ran away with that one. So if you
24:46
Speaker 1: take that approach for the Titans, I think they could
24:48
Speaker 1: have a similar performance and get after Joe Burrow with
24:50
Speaker 1: that defense, which is good a getting after quarterbacks. It's
24:52
Speaker 1: kind of like the same strategy as the last game
24:54
Speaker 1: we talked about. Keep it on the ground, control the ball,
24:56
Speaker 1: win the game, all right. The Falcons like to run
24:58
Speaker 1: the football as well. Nick. They are four point underdogs
25:01
Speaker 1: to Taylor Heineke and the Commanders. Again, the line according
25:05
Speaker 1: to DraftKings, Ron Rivera just said Carson Wentz is not
25:08
Speaker 1: ready to be Sam Howell backing up Taylor Heinriki again.
25:12
Speaker 1: But you like the Falcons here? Why? Well? Unfortunately for them,
25:16
Speaker 1: on paper, it doesn't look good because this is a
25:18
Speaker 1: team that has routinely abandoned the past in favor of
25:20
Speaker 1: the run and has won games. But the reason I
25:22
Speaker 1: believe in them is because they've won those games. Arthur
25:24
Speaker 1: Smith for the second straight season getting the most out
25:27
Speaker 1: of this talent on this team which on paper does
25:29
Speaker 1: not look that good, and yet they're five and six.
25:32
Speaker 1: There's no way they should be. Theoretically, they got close
25:34
Speaker 1: wins over Cleveland, over Carolina at home, and over Chicago,
25:37
Speaker 1: that last one being last week. And the reason I
25:39
Speaker 1: like them in this game is because of how they
25:40
Speaker 1: won that game last week. Cordell Patterson returns makes an
25:43
Speaker 1: impact in the return game on the ground, and he's
25:46
Speaker 1: still a receiving threat. Marcus Mariotta is more than just
25:48
Speaker 1: a passer. He can make a difference on the ground.
25:51
Speaker 1: They have to create angles. They can't run traditionally against
25:54
Speaker 1: this defense. They have to use their speed to their
25:55
Speaker 1: advantage to win this matchup. But because the way they've
25:58
Speaker 1: been in these close games this year, I have a
25:59
Speaker 1: hard time going against them against the Commander's team that
26:01
Speaker 1: I just don't know what they're gonna produce offensively on
26:03
Speaker 1: a week to week basis MON Day Night Football Nick,
26:06
Speaker 1: which seems like weeks away, it's actually only five days
26:09
Speaker 1: away now four days I can't count. Regardless. Um, it's
26:13
Speaker 1: the Colts at home as the favorite were in old
26:16
Speaker 1: school uniforms and the Fighting Kenny Pickets according to draft
26:20
Speaker 1: Kings or two and a half point underdogs, and you
26:22
Speaker 1: kind of sort of like the fighting Kenny Pickets. I
26:25
Speaker 1: like the Fighting Kenny Picketts because they're really the fighting
26:27
Speaker 1: t J. Watts. Ever since he's returned, they've been rejuvenated
26:31
Speaker 1: on both sides of the ball, and especially on defense.
26:33
Speaker 1: A surprisingly opportunistic unit. The Steelers have been recently their
26:37
Speaker 1: time faith and turnovers this season. A big part of
26:39
Speaker 1: that is getting after the quarterback, forcing passes into traffic
26:42
Speaker 1: and catching these tip balls for interceptions. Their offense and
26:45
Speaker 1: the Fighting Kenny Picketts. They have an off hill battle,
26:47
Speaker 1: especially against this Colts team, which has a sneaky good defense,
26:50
Speaker 1: but I see of a low scoring affair and if
26:53
Speaker 1: there's any team to capitalize on for making mistakes and
26:56
Speaker 1: turning the ball over. It's Matt Ryan and the Coultster
26:58
Speaker 1: tied for thirty in turnovers this season. He's back in
27:01
Speaker 1: the fold. They look a little bit better since Jeff
27:02
Speaker 1: Saturday took over. I don't really think there's necessarily a correlate.
27:05
Speaker 1: They're all all you know entirely, But I think the
27:07
Speaker 1: Steelers can capitalize and uh and take advantage of this
27:10
Speaker 1: against the corn All right, that game is Bunday and
27:11
Speaker 1: I that game and all of Nick's analysis on nfl
27:14
Speaker 1: dot com Slash Underdogs, Happy Thanksgiving, Nick. Tyler Locket, if
27:21
Speaker 1: it gets anywhere near his hands, he makes the catch.
27:24
Speaker 1: Now he throws to the end, doog cut down? Stay
27:27
Speaker 1: hawk to throw? He got a man in the corner,
27:30
Speaker 1: didn't lock it? Cut down? Stay How Tyler Locker just
27:35
Speaker 1: ran into the end to the Locker get down to
27:37
Speaker 1: make a catch. How did Locket make cat catch? Tyler
27:41
Speaker 1: Locker said, hey, baby, throw me the ball. He did. Yep,
27:47
Speaker 1: he does, and he catches a lot of them touchdowns
27:50
Speaker 1: and three consecutive games for this guy coming off of
27:52
Speaker 1: by the trip to Germany. It's always great to have
27:55
Speaker 1: Tyler Lockett on the show. Tyler how To How the
27:58
Speaker 1: bye week treat you. After that long back and forth
28:01
Speaker 1: to Germany, what a bywe was a little challenge and
28:05
Speaker 1: for me, man, I ended up getting food poisoning on Tuesday,
28:09
Speaker 1: so I was Yeah, I was down bad a little bit,
28:11
Speaker 1: but I was able to recover and uh, just had
28:14
Speaker 1: a good weekend after that. All right, Well, glad to
28:17
Speaker 1: hear you're doing well. I'm assuming while you were in
28:20
Speaker 1: bed battling food poisoning. Um, you probably had a chance
28:24
Speaker 1: to reflect on the first half of the season. Maybe
28:27
Speaker 1: what you learned from that game in Germany. As we
28:29
Speaker 1: sit here and get ready for the push here the
28:31
Speaker 1: holidays are upon us. You know, what did you learn
28:34
Speaker 1: about that team in Munich? I think the biggest thing
28:39
Speaker 1: that I learned is just our resilience to never give up,
28:43
Speaker 1: our resilience just to be able to keep going. Uh.
28:45
Speaker 1: You know, Tampa did a great job just being able
28:47
Speaker 1: to come out, being able to stop us in the
28:50
Speaker 1: first half. But we adapted and we've shown that even
28:53
Speaker 1: when things are going great for us, how great we
28:55
Speaker 1: can be when when things were against us, we showed
28:57
Speaker 1: that we could be able to fight back. And yeah,
28:59
Speaker 1: we ended up losing, but that's not a loss that
29:02
Speaker 1: determines the end of the season. That's just a lesson
29:05
Speaker 1: we continue to learn and that we continue to develop
29:07
Speaker 1: and grow from Tyler Bye. Weeks are a time for
29:11
Speaker 1: a lot of reflection and self scouting. And so much
29:13
Speaker 1: has been said this year about the great rookie class,
29:16
Speaker 1: Kenneth Walker and Dreeke Wooland and obviously we can go
29:19
Speaker 1: on and on about the offensive tackles as well. But
29:21
Speaker 1: but something has to be said about the veterans here
29:24
Speaker 1: and you being one of them, k being another, because
29:26
Speaker 1: there's been this story over the years that you know,
29:28
Speaker 1: Pete needs a younger team, maybe veterans get sick of
29:33
Speaker 1: it after a while. Why has this group worked so
29:36
Speaker 1: well with both rookies and veterans. I think the biggest thing,
29:41
Speaker 1: man is we just meet each other where we're at
29:44
Speaker 1: and a lot of us that were veterans now we
29:47
Speaker 1: learned from there the veterans that came here earlier, and
29:50
Speaker 1: every single year is something different, is something new. You
29:53
Speaker 1: can't have that same mindset. So even though I'm going
29:55
Speaker 1: into year eight, I'm still treating it like this is
29:57
Speaker 1: my first year. And so you never stopped learning, You
30:00
Speaker 1: never stopped trying to be great. When you have a
30:02
Speaker 1: bunch of young guys in here. I'm me being thirty
30:04
Speaker 1: year years old, it makes you feel young again. You
30:07
Speaker 1: see a lot of people that had that heart, they
30:09
Speaker 1: have that desire, they had that grit to want to
30:11
Speaker 1: be able to be better. You talk about our ricky
30:14
Speaker 1: class man, they literally put their head down and work.
30:16
Speaker 1: They rarely talk. They show up, they play, and you
30:20
Speaker 1: wouldn't even think they were rookies if you came here
30:21
Speaker 1: and watch the meeting every week. And so that's something
30:24
Speaker 1: that just keeps us going, especially as vets. I love
30:27
Speaker 1: that the rookies barely talk. I'm sure you guys love that.
30:31
Speaker 1: I was struck a couple of weeks ago as well.
30:32
Speaker 1: Can we throw it up on the screen here, Jeff, Um,
30:35
Speaker 1: you and d K on the podium together. And I
30:37
Speaker 1: don't care what was misrepresented that day and maybe what
30:40
Speaker 1: you said, but the fact that you and d K
30:43
Speaker 1: were on the podium together, that to me kind of
30:48
Speaker 1: spoke to to the story of this season. Yeah. I mean,
30:54
Speaker 1: first off, you know, thankful for our our team that
30:58
Speaker 1: allows us to even get up there and be able
30:59
Speaker 1: to talk. But it's really like a brotherhood man, and
31:02
Speaker 1: just having an opportunity to go up there with DK.
31:05
Speaker 1: It's funny because you know, we feed off of each other.
31:07
Speaker 1: Even when Gino went up there, It's like you never
31:10
Speaker 1: really know. You hear a lot of fans and a
31:12
Speaker 1: lot of people said that they enjoyed us being able
31:14
Speaker 1: to do that, and I mean we've seen the NBA
31:16
Speaker 1: be able to do that, and so just being able
31:18
Speaker 1: to have a chance to go up there and talk,
31:20
Speaker 1: I mean it was kind of fun. It was something
31:22
Speaker 1: that was different and you know, hopefully we'll be able
31:25
Speaker 1: to do it again. Yeah, good good, NBA thought there.
31:28
Speaker 1: I hadn't really you know, drawn the comparison. Usually in
31:31
Speaker 1: the NFL's one guy at the time. You guys got
31:33
Speaker 1: out there and did it together. Curious, um, Tyler, your
31:36
Speaker 1: thoughts when seemingly the entire world is now ready to
31:41
Speaker 1: crown the forty Niners. You know, they got your Week
31:44
Speaker 1: two and then you get them again in December. Oh yeah, Well,
31:48
Speaker 1: I mean we know that the forty Niners are a
31:50
Speaker 1: great team. Um, they got a lot of great additions
31:53
Speaker 1: on their team, and so they're out there playing great
31:55
Speaker 1: as a team. They're playing phenomenal right now. But I
31:58
Speaker 1: mean for us, I mean, we're exactly where we want
32:00
Speaker 1: to be at. We understand that each and every game
32:03
Speaker 1: is detrimental to what's gonna happen for the rest of
32:05
Speaker 1: the season, and so it's not just one team that
32:08
Speaker 1: you got to look out for, like we got to
32:09
Speaker 1: look out for the Raiders going into this week, and
32:11
Speaker 1: so we're just going to continue to do our part.
32:14
Speaker 1: We understand the schedule that we have ahead of us,
32:16
Speaker 1: but we also understand that what we can be able
32:19
Speaker 1: to accomplish as a team, we've proved it the first half,
32:22
Speaker 1: and so this next half is just being able to
32:24
Speaker 1: continue to play free. And of course we asked that
32:27
Speaker 1: question without disrespecting the Raiders or the Rams or the Panthers,
32:30
Speaker 1: that you have the next three weeks before you get
32:33
Speaker 1: that week fifteen rematch, it will be in your building,
32:35
Speaker 1: this time against the forty n This Tyler cool next
32:39
Speaker 1: Gen stat that Adrian and Research pulled out of here
32:43
Speaker 1: that since twenty eighteen, no one's catching more deep balls,
32:46
Speaker 1: no one's been more successful stretching the field than you,
32:51
Speaker 1: Tyler Lockett. As we get ready for Thanksgiving, Tyler, when
32:55
Speaker 1: you guys did a Turkey Bowl as kids your Your
32:57
Speaker 1: dad is a great wide receiver, your brother Aaron was
33:01
Speaker 1: a great wide receiver. Your little brother Sterling pretty good too.
33:04
Speaker 1: Did you only go deep at the Turkey Bowl? Tyler? No,
33:08
Speaker 1: I didn't always go deep. But you know, the one
33:11
Speaker 1: thing that I will say is that I've learned, you know,
33:13
Speaker 1: not to be one dimensional. Uh, learned how to open
33:16
Speaker 1: up just different parts of my game. Learning how to
33:19
Speaker 1: be a possession receiver, um whether the team needs me
33:22
Speaker 1: to scramble, being able to do that. Learning how to
33:25
Speaker 1: be an all around football player. And so that's something
33:27
Speaker 1: that's also helped me throughout my time in my career.
33:30
Speaker 1: And when you talk about things giving, it's not just
33:32
Speaker 1: being able to eat one one thing is being able
33:35
Speaker 1: to eat the whole entire meal. That's That's a great
33:38
Speaker 1: segue to what was going to be Tyler my final question.
33:42
Speaker 1: You retweeted yesterday a video that the Seahawks had done
33:46
Speaker 1: with a bunch of your teammates saying what their favorite
33:48
Speaker 1: Thanksgiving food was. But Tyler, you're not included in that
33:52
Speaker 1: video and you didn't mention it with your retweet. So,
33:56
Speaker 1: Tyler Lockett, obviously we have to ask what is your
33:59
Speaker 1: favorite Thanksgiving food. I'd probably say the green being casserole.
34:05
Speaker 1: I was not gonna guess that. So the green being
34:08
Speaker 1: cast role with like the French onion soup, the can
34:10
Speaker 1: stuff that they pour in that that green big casserole.
34:14
Speaker 1: How about you come to the house and see. I
34:16
Speaker 1: don't doubt that you guys make it well. I think
34:19
Speaker 1: that's not what I was trying to suggest. Most people
34:21
Speaker 1: say mac and cheese or turkey or something like that
34:23
Speaker 1: green bean casserole. That's an upset. I will add in
34:27
Speaker 1: the yams though. The Yams are pretty amazing. Big fan
34:30
Speaker 1: of the Yams and Mike Yambs as well. My NFL
34:33
Speaker 1: network Collie Tyler Lockett, congratulations on the great star, good
34:37
Speaker 1: luck the second half of the season, and happy Thanksgiving
34:39
