  Speaker 1: Welcome to the br Handoff presented by Verizon. I'm your host,
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: Nick Bonito, and this week I'll be breaking down some
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: of the best highlights, storylines, and performances around the league.
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: Let's open it up with a question man from the
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: last host, Dayan Henley, and see what he asked me
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: from last week before I go, let me hand off
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: this one to Nick Bonito. We both just had bye weeks.
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: On my bye week, I chilled out with the fam.
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: What did you do for your bye week? But what
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: do you do for bye weeks? Yeah? Me, personally, I
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: don't really try to do too much. I just chilled
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: at the crib with my brother in Denver, and then
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: during the weekend we headed out to Norman, Oklahoma to
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: watch my old school play get the Dub against the
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: Missouri Tigers. So that was pretty cool. All right, man,
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: let's get into it now. Obviously, we gotta start with
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: my different broncos Man getting the Dove Sunday Night gets
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: the Commanders. It was a great win for us, found
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: a way to win on the road, and I couldn't
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: be more proud of the guys for the way that
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: we battled and we finished that game. So obviously with
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: all that happened in the game, Man, we gotta talk
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: about the two point conversion and overtime. Uh, it was
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: a crazy play, man. Shoot, let's let's get to it. Yeah.
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: So just getting into the play here, man, you know,
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: Coach VJ drew up a great call for us. Uh,
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: we're kind of as the outside backers, We're both trying
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: to do a mess charge to the quarterback, so we're
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: both attacking him while the dbs and linebackers all have
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: the running back. So we're gonna press play here and
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: as we going, you know, we kind of expected a
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: run call, but it ended up being the past. So
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: now at this point, it's just like I'm trying to
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: get after the quarterback. I see the tackle block down,
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: you know, at this point of the rep. You know,
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: I see the quarterback, he keeps trying to back up
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: and stuff. Uh So I'm just trying to affect the
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: quarterback in any way I can. I knew I probably
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: wasn't gonna get there, so I was just trying to
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: get my hands up at that point, and I ended
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: up getting the block shot, uh basically, and uh, you know,
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: we ended up winning the game off of that so
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: it was a great call. You know, everybody you know,
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: you know, did a good all game, and I was
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: happy we were able to find a way to win
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: that game. So great coffee, j Yeah. So I mean
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: just looking after that game, man, Right now, we stand
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: alone in the AFC West. We're battling for the top
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: seed in the a f C too, So I mean,
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: these are there's a lot of stake in these last
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: couple of weeks, man, and uh, you know, we're just
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: gonna keep trying to dial it in, keep trying to
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: you know, just do what we're doing and continue to
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: stack up these wins. You know, obviously we have aspirations
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: of being a top of the AFC West, getting that
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: number one seed and for the playoffs. But I feel
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: like it starts defensively, man. I feel like there's still
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: another level we can take it to. We've been playing
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: great ball so far this season, but I still feel
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: like there's there's more room to grow for us. And
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: but that's the best thing about us, man, I feel like,
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: you know, when it comes to our defense, you know,
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: we have so many selfless players, guys that you know,
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: are willing to do to do the hard downs and
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: just to you know, sacrifice for the greater good of
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: the team. And I feel like that's what kind of
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: makes us so special, and you know, that's why we
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: played the way we do. And obviously, you know, like
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: I said that, we're trying to take steps to continuously
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: trying to be better as a defense. But obviously a
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: big addition to that is getting Pat back. I mean,
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: you talk about a guy that you know, we tell
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: go guard the best receiver on the other team, and
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: you don't hear about him for the rest of the game. Uh,
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: you know, it means won just to our defense. And
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: he truly is a special player, man, and that's why,
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: you know, he's the best in the game in my opinion.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: So it's gonna be great having him back and being
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: able to go on this stretch down the road down
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: down the end of the season and finishing that off
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: for sure. But he's not the only corner that I
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: feel like is playing really good ball right now. I mean,
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: obviously we have a lot of guys that came in
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: and stepped in, but specific shout out to Riley moss Man.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: He's been playing good ball. Uh. You know, he gave
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: up his first touchdown last night unfortunately. But I mean
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: it was such a crazy play. Uh. He was in
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: great position all the way through, and you know it
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: was a great throw by the quarterback, great throw by
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: the receiver as we see here man. And you know,
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: that's just one of the ones. You know, you just
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: got to take it and just move on to the
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: next play. And he's a resilient guy, so you know,
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: I know he he bounced back in a big way
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: and it was a great catch by Burkes for sure.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: Shout out to trailing Burks man, what a great play
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: it was. Obviously, you know it went you know, viral,
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: even though it was against us, it went viral, and
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: even Obj you know, gave his a little shout out.
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: That's how great of a catch it was, man. And
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: you see the little thirteen on thirteen actions. So I mean,
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: it was a great play by Burkes man, and you know,
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: shout out to him. Speaking on the Broncos commanders man,
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: shout out to the Broncos offense, y'all boys, did y'all thing?
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: Being able to go drive down get seven for us,
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: make it easier for us to try to go get
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: that stop in and overtime and on two point conversion.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: He was really huge. You know, Bo did his thing,
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: Old line did his thing. Running backs, receivers. Man, shout
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: out to all y'all. I feel like we've been in
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: so many situations like that where you know, I feel
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: like it comes down to the offense and you know,
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: we just know what they're gonna do. At that point,
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: I feel like nothing really has to be said. You know,
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: Bo just goes out there, he leaves the offense, uh
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: finds the way for us to you know, either get points,
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: take the lead, tide the game, something like that. And
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: you know they've come through for us time and time again,
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: and at this point, it's just about us as a defense,
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: just getting them in position and them taking care of
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: the rest. Looking ahead to the week, a team matchup
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: against the Chargers, Man, a lot of people saying it's
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: gonna come down to, you know, who's gonna win that division,
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: and that's that's gonna be really exciting. Man. You know,
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: we've we've struggled with them since Harball has came, and
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: you know they've had our numbers. So we're gonna be
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: looking out for that one and it's gonna be a
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: good matchup, man, with all the skilled players they have. Obviously,
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: Justin's a great quarterback. Defense is playing really elite, man,
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: So you know that week a team matchup is gonna
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: be really special. And obviously, you know we got to
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: take it one week at a time, but you know
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: it may come down to that last week to see
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: who's gonna win that division. So it's gonna be interesting
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: for sure, play the week, man, let's get into it.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: Maybe one of the craziest players we've seen all season, man,
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: from this past Sunday. If you're watching the game, you
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: know what I'm talking about. Pooking the Kua made one
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: of the craziest snags I've ever seen, man over a
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: Panthers defender. Let's go look at it. Oh my gosh,
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: little stutter go cornerback, try to stack him. He went,
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that's elite if you look at it. He
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: Lowki helped him out with the ball too, but still
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: even him just being able to get that one hand
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: there be able to snag it in for a big play. Man.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: It was really really amazing, man. And you know, obviously
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: the fans loved it. But I mean, just as a
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: player myself, man, I can appreciate that type of greatness.
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: When you just talk about that catch, I mean the
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: degree of difficulty for him to you know, obviously not
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: even just catch the ball, but catch you a one
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: hand in the rain, under the circumstances that it was
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: a close game. We obviously they're trying to fight for
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: best record in the NFL, and for him to go
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: up and make a play like that, it was really amazing.
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: And you know, it just shows why he's one of
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: the best in the league. Man, And shout out to Pookah.
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: Keep doing your thing, Man, you balling for sure. With
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: that being said, the Rams did end up losing this game. Me,
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: it was kind of one of the more shocking upsets
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: of this week. Man. Obviously the Rams were, you know,
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: coming in scorching hot, coming in nine and two. Uh.
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: And then obviously the Panthers coming off that Monday and
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: I lost, and the way they were able to respond
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: and you know, beat one of the hotter teams in
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: the league. It was really special to see man and
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: shout out the coach, coach, Man, he was my rookie DC.
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: He's doing this thing over there, got them boys playing ball.
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: Can't be more happy for him, man, And you know,
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: and the Panthers, So congrats to the Panthers. But with
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: that being said, we got a look at these NFC
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: playoff picture. Uh, Chicago has kind of taken the lead
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: on on that with the Rams losing. So my boy
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: Caleb doing this thing in Chicago. Happy to see that.
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: And you see the picture, man, they just beat the Eagles,
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: super Bowl champs and their hot team right now, one
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: of the hottest in the NFL, and it's gonna be
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: real tough to beat them throughout the years. So you know,
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: it's gonna be interesting to see how that shakes out.
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: And just looking at the standards, man, and there's so
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: many tough teams and you know in this conference, man,
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: but I think a team that you know, obviously people
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: don't want to see. I feel like it is the
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: Seattle Seahawks. But the way their offense is playing, the
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: way their defense is playing, man, they got dogs on
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: both sides of it. And Jig has been having a
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: really good year. Man defense has been flying around. I
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: feel like they'll be one of the more scarier teams
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: to play in the playoffs, especially if they end up
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: don winning their division and you know, having to play
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: in the wild card early so from a team that
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: something should be afraid of to a man that everybody fears. Man.
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: Another week, another sack from Miles Garrett against the forty
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: nine ers on Sunday. Uh, he's playing at an all
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: time level right now, man. Obviously he's chasing some greatness
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: right now, trying to be the all time sack leader
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: in the season. He's almost close to it. Man. I
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: think he's gonna do it. Man. He's one of the
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: greatest things I've ever seen and definitely the best you
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: know in the game right now, and I think will
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: make him so special just the way he rushes the passer,
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: being able to do everything with power, finesse, anything he
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: wants to in his toolbox. Man, it's there for him.
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: And with the amount of tension he gets and the
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: way he's still able to get these sacks, it really
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: is you know something to see, man, and you know
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: that's why he's probably the best in the game of
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: my opinion. So shout out the Miles, man, and let's
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: get into his sack against the forty nine ers this week. Yeah.
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: So looking at the play here, man, obviously the tight
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: end's coming in motion. Even if it's one of the
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: best in the game. And Trent Williams, Man, you gotta
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: send him some help. You know, Miles was a freaking
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: nature tight end comes in motion. Like I said, they're
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: gonna eat hip. Help they send kittles, will try to
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: go get him in off the gate. Man. You can
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: see the great get off that he has and just
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: to threaten to tackle a little bit. And if we
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: keep going into it, yep, kinda is crazy, bro, because
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: he literally teleports from the outside to the inside. I
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: don't know how he does it, but he felt the
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: overset a little bit being able to go inside make
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: the play against Purdy, and I think that's nineteen for
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: him now and on the season. So he truly special, bro.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: I mean the way he just knows things are coming
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: and the way he just has a pastors playing going
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: into every game. Man, it truly is special. So shout
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: out to Miles Man, I'm rooting for you. Go get
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: the sack record, bro, keep leading the way. Now it's
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: time for the better deal. Separate man, and today I'm
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: picking between what was the better trade for the Dallas Cowboys,
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: whether it was George Pickens or Quinn Williams. Playing against
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: both guys Obviously I play against George Moore because I'm
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: on the defensive side of the ball, But I watch
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: a lot of Quinn and tape, even when you know
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: they play against us, or he's played against us, I've
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: watched him too, And just being able to see George,
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: you know, he kind of ascended this year. He's been
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: a great player his first couple of years in the league.
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: But just to see the type of you know, year
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: he's having, Man, it truly is special. And between him
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: and CD man is one, A, one B depending on
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: the game. So he's doing this thing man. And and
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: then when you looking at Quinn Williams obviously what he's
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: doing since he's gotten to the Cowboys, you know, you
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: can see it right there. Man. The twenty one pressure
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: is already in three compared to his nineteen in the
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: eight with New York Jets. Man, he's doing this thing.
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: He's changed the defense since he's gotten there. Their numbers
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: have been better. They're playing with a different type of energy,
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: Man rushing the passer up front, and it's making job
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: easier on the back end for the DBS. So I
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: feel like it's gonna be pretty tough to choose between
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: the two both are having really good years. But I'm
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: gonna be biased, man, I'm a guy that's up front,
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: So I'm going with Quinn Williams. Man. Just what he's
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: done in these short amount of games, and you've already
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: seen the turnaround defensively and just how much their team
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: is even playing better now. Man, it's been really special
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: to see. So you know, I would go with Quinn Williams. Man.
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: He's been a baller ever since he got in the league,
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: and you know, I hope he just keeps going. They're
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: playing really good ball with him right now. Speaking of
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys, they just came off a big win
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: against our divisional Rivalay Kansas City Chiefs. That ain't come
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: without Patrick Mahons making another crazy play outside the pocket
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: man as he always does. So you're looking at it
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: right here, baiting the pressure getting away from Quinn and Wims.
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: You know, the guy's been balling be able to make
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: this crazy throw like he always does. Man, that leads
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: to a big play. It's like, yeah, man, that was
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: a great play by Pat. Obviously, you know they was
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: trying to get after him upfront and him still being
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: able to make that play. It was pretty crazy. That
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: being said, Man, I do kind of want to get,
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: you know, into my top five as far as the
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: toughest guys to sack in the league. Man, A lot
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: of great quarterbacks in this league that can do a
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: lot of things, but let's get into it. At five,
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: I got my guy Bo Nicks. Just watching the man
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: and going against him in practice, I feel like what
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: kind of makes him so hard to sack is him
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: being able to get the ball out fast, him understanding
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: what's in front of him, and even just the way
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: that he maneuvers the pocket and you know, can make
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: plays with his legs or being able to throw down
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: the field. So he's that far for me. At four,
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: I got Joe Burrow, another guy who's a quick processor,
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: can see the defense and know where the ball is
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: going to go with it, and you know, just with
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: him being able to be so decisive with it and
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: still make plays with his legs, and you know, like
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: I said, same with Boat with either run or pass,
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: he has to be at four for me. At three,
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: we got Jay and Daniels. Obviously I didn't get to
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: go against him this week, but just watching him on film, man,
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: he easy looks like the fastest dude on the field
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: whenever he's out there just running around making plays and
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: escaping from defenders. And I believe I'm one of the
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: fastest in the league. But I mean, if I got
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: chased down that guy, it's gonna be really hard and
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: he's gonna make my life pretty crazy that day. So
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: I mean, he's at three for me. At two, we
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: got probably the best, one of the best quarterbacks in
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: the league, Patrick Mahomes. Obviously, nothing has to be said.
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: You're just seeing the crazy player he just makes And
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: I think with the combination of him being so smart
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: and being able to maneuver the pocket and make plays
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: with his legs or throw the ball down the field,
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: and even if you feel like he got a hand
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: on him, he still finding ways to just throw it
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: downfield or making some type of crazy plays. So past's
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: definitely got to be two for me. Number one on
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: my list, Brown County legend Lamar Jackson. This guy is
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: one of the fastest guys in the league. He's outran
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: me a couple of times we played him last year.
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: He's one of the greatest quarterbacks in our game today.
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: And uh, you know, just with him being able to
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: make so many different type of players with his legs
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: and being able to still throw the ball down the
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: field while being able to run away from defenders, whether
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: it's d lineman, linebackers, dbs man truly a special So
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: Lamar is my number one. It's the craziest time of
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: the year in college football conference championship spots in the
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: college Football Playoff for up for grabs. The biggest headline
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: going into this week, though, was Lane Kiffin leaving Old
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: Miss for the head coaching job at LSU. Man, I
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: feel like it was one of the craziest things I've
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: ever seen, just as far as, like, you know, such
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: a big time head coach going leaving one big program
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: to go to another, especially right before a college football
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: playoff appearance. Definitely, you know, was a stranger move to me.
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: But I also understand it, man. I mean, I know
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: the type of money that he's probably gonna be getting
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: over there, the type of recruits he's gonna get at LSU.
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: So I mean, if it was a good decision for him,
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: I can understand it. But at the same time, I
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: do feel bad for the players at Old Mess who
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: you know, have had such a great season under him
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: and now having to go without their head coach could
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: be a very heartbreaking thing. But it's gonna be interesing to
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: see how they perform in the playoffs. There's also controversy
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: and who deserves the college football playoffs spot debate, Man,
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: And so with that, let's go into it. Man. We're
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: gonna play a game of inner out college Football Playoff edition,
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: and let's start with the Sooners. Man, my alma mater,
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: the Oklahoma Sooners. I believe that we're a lot to
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: get in, Man, but we're gonna see. I feel like
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: we have a really good resume, if I'm not mistaken.
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: I feel like we've be in the most ranked teams
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: in the top twenty five. So I feel like we've
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: made a case all year to be in the playoffs.
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: So I think we should be in. Next up, we
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: got my rivals Texas Longhorns. I'm biased. I'm gonna say
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: they need to be out. I don't care they lost
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: three games. They lost a bad Florida team this year, man,
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: I don't care that they beat Texas A and m
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: them guys don't deserve to be in. Let's move on
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: to b YU. Now. I feel like with b YU.
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: They've been the team that has kind of dominated their
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: conference all all year long, and obviously the loss of
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: Texas Tech it was really just a blowout kind of fashion.
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: But that doesn't take away from the season they had.
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: They just had a really good season and honestly, I
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: feel like they should be in Man. Next up my
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: hometown team, the Miami Hurricanes. Man. Miami's are kind of
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: a little bit of a weird team because they do
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: have the great win at home against Notre Dame early
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: in the year, and they pretty much dominated almost everybody
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: they played in their wins, Man, but the losses kind
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: of stand out too. Obviously an overtime loss to ask
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: some of you that one hurt, and a game that
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: you know, I feel like they should have won in Louisville.
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: But with all that being said, Man, I trust the Hurricanes. Man.
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: They have a lot of great players. I think they
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: should be in. Next up. We got the fighting Irish
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: Nord to Dame, been playing really good ball all year.
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: Jeremiah loves stand out player, could be up for the Heisman.
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: They have some two tough losses earlier in the year
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: where they battle at home against Texas A and them
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: lose that in a close one, then obviously going to
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: Miami having to lose that one too, and in the
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: game where they almost come back, and I think their
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: resume kind of speaks for itself. Man, they kind of
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: ran the table after that. They got things right and
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: they've been dominated ever since those two games. So in
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: my opinion, I feel like Nordre Dam's another team that
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: has to be in. They're playing really good ball right now,
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: and they lost to two of the better teams in
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: the country last but not least the Vanderbilt Commodorees. They've
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: had a really great year so far, man, obviously doing
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: the things that they're doing. While they have had a
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: great year, I do have to say I have them
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: out of the playoffs. You know. It's unfortunate because they
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: really have good year, Diego Pavia's Heisman type of year,
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: and I just don't feel like they have enough signature
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: wins to say that, you know, I can put them
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: in over a lot of these teams. So vanderbilll be
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: out and that will be that edition of Interrout. That's
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: all I've got for today, y'all. This is the last
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: episode of the season of br Handoff. So I'm not
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: handing the rock to anyone. I'm taking this one to
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: the crib. That's it for Beur Handoff presented by Verizon.
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: Thank y'all for tapping in peace.
