  Speaker 1: And now move the sticks with Daniel, Jeremiah and Bucky Brooks.
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: What's up, everybody?
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: Welcome to move the sticks, DJ, Bucky Rhett, with you, Buck.
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: We missed you yesterday. I took care of the little
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: dig at HT for Indiana getting their doors blown off.
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: But feel free. The floor is yours. If you'd like
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: to chime in on that.
• 0:20
  Speaker 3: Smallest margin of victory of any of the games, just
• 0:22
  Speaker 3: let's just keep that in mind.
• 0:23
  Speaker 4: That's right, No, no, no, no, digs. I think I
• 0:28
  Speaker 4: learned a lot watching the college football playoffs in terms
• 0:30
  Speaker 4: of team building. One Jims and Joe's dwarfed X's and O's.
• 0:35
  Speaker 4: All the teams dead advance had more, had better personnel.
• 0:39
  Speaker 4: The other thing when you're looking at teams, and I'll
• 0:43
  Speaker 4: say this using Notre Dame in Indiana, to me, it
• 0:45
  Speaker 4: was very apparent body types like Notre Dame looked like
• 0:49
  Speaker 4: a heavyweight team. Indiana didn't. And I think physically, when
• 0:54
  Speaker 4: we talked about ideals in the scouting process, their prototypes
• 0:57
  Speaker 4: that you look for, Notre Dame looked like the prototypical team.
• 1:01
  Speaker 4: But that also came from the lessons that they learned.
• 1:04
  Speaker 4: One getting up by Alabama in twenty twelve, losing multiple
• 1:08
  Speaker 4: times in the college foot would be sit whatever it was.
• 1:10
  Speaker 4: When they lost to Clemson and some other teams, they
• 1:14
  Speaker 4: had to go through the process to figure out how
• 1:16
  Speaker 4: to build their team to play with those teams. And
• 1:19
  Speaker 4: so I think it's been a program that's learned a
• 1:22
  Speaker 4: lot of lessons that is putting them in a position
• 1:24
  Speaker 4: to do it. For Indiana, this loss will help them
• 1:27
  Speaker 4: figure out how we need to be built to be
• 1:30
  Speaker 4: able to compete with those teams. Just like SMU learn
• 1:33
  Speaker 4: dealing with Penn State. It's just a different level when
• 1:36
  Speaker 4: you get to those elite teams, those top ten teams,
• 1:39
  Speaker 4: how your team has to be constructed.
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: I got a couple thoughts on that too. Can I
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: give you my essays here real quick? The playoff breakdown, size, speed, stars,
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: and stadium. That was the whole That was the whole thing,
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: And well I'm looking at it going like the thing.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: That's kind of a bummer as we're getting ready to
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: go to the draft season. I'm like, man, the two
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: best players that I saw over the entire weekend was
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: the running back from from from Notre Dame who's not
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: draft eligible, and the receiver from Ohio State, who's not
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: draft eligible. But like, but I mean you had you
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: had Penn State, you know with with Abdul Carter star like,
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: you had these stars that can kind of take over games.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: And let's not minimize the fact these teams are playing
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: at home. That's a major advantage. Man. So you've got size, speed,
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: you've got big time star players, and you're in a
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: home environment. That made that made a big difference in
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: those games.
• 2:26
  Speaker 4: Made a big difference. But I don't know how red
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: Field about it. I loved having those games on campus
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: to that was there, that is what it is supposed
• 2:36
  Speaker 4: to be. Like I could feel the energy on Friday night,
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: like watching it on TV that it kind of brings
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: that energy that man, I would love to be in
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: person to feel that. And then the white out that
• 2:47
  Speaker 4: Penn State had, All of those things kind of matter.
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: It'd be interesting to see how it plays out in
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: the Bowl game. But that first round, playing those games
• 2:56
  Speaker 4: on campus, to me, it was significant. And like you said, DJ,
• 2:59
  Speaker 4: the State Tiams certainly gave the home field that is
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: they needed.
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: Yeah, the and the only thing that I that I'll
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: say on this is one you're right on that I
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: think any team going into any road venue in the
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: first round of the playoffs is gonna have it's going
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: to be a challenge.
• 3:15
  Speaker 5: Okay, it was going to be a challenge.
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: And the second part is I think it's you know,
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: not just speaking from an Indiana perspective, but from SMU
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: and for for Clemson and and uh and for Tennessee, Like,
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: let's not talk about the merits of getting into the
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: playoff once the field is set, Like, let's not ruin
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: and cheapen the games and the team And if we
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: don't think that you can earn a rite in and
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: you've got to just look the best, Like that's what's
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: wrong with America today, okay, because we're putting people in
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: positions because they looked they no, no, no, no no. You got
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: to earn your right, okay, and you earn by winning
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: and by playing well. And let's not forget you know
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: that losses matter to Okay, otherwise you know we'd have Vanderbilt,
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: Kentucky and Oklahoma in the playoff.
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: You know, this is gonna leave me right in my
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: point here. But first of all, it's signed for the
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: lead block presented by Team Mobile for Business. Football needs
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: a network willing to go the extra yard, So do
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: you go further with team mobile for business Buck. The
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: only thing I would change, and we're talking about what
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: are we going to learn from this year to next year,
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: just in terms of the seating. You get your automatic
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: bids and then nothing's promised from the seating. So automatic
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: bids keep that one hundred percent. You win your conference,
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: You're in love that. But then once we get into
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: the field of twelve, then just stack them up one
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: through twelve. However, you have a rank, don't solved. That's it.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: That's that to me, that's the only change that needs
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: to be made.
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: Well, I mean, if they would just follow the model
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: that the NCAA has done with March Maddness, that's kind
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: of how it operates. A you win your tournament in
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: the Horizon League, Yeah.
• 4:40
  Speaker 5: You're into the dans not getting a buy Yeah, you.
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: Know, you don't get a thing to me. And I'm
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: not saying this because I want to make sure I'm
• 4:48
  Speaker 4: being in respectful to both Boise and Arizona State. But
• 4:52
  Speaker 4: to lick at that line and see that Oregon's first
• 4:54
  Speaker 4: game is Ohio State, it just seems something there's something
• 4:58
  Speaker 4: wrong with that and I'm not saying it Ohio State
• 5:00
  Speaker 4: deserves to be like a higher seed or whatever.
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: It just it just feels.
• 5:05
  Speaker 5: Anybody's conference championship games, yeah, and trying to.
• 5:09
  Speaker 4: Get and I and I and I get that, and
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: I love that. And who knows, man, maybe Boise and
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: Arizona State advance to the next line and play much
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: better than anybody thought. But just in terms of like
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: looking at the bracket, those stand out just because we
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: saw that. But I'm like, well, Ohio State didn't win
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: their conference championship game. They didn't, I mean, they didn't
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: go to the conference championship game. So they are what
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: they are. But I will say this, and I am
• 5:32
  Speaker 4: tired like Lane Kiffin wade in the Alabama people waded
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: in And the only thing that I can say is
• 5:37
  Speaker 4: if you don't lose those games, then you go. It's
• 5:41
  Speaker 4: not about oh, you can play. You can lose two
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: games and still go to the playoffs. So it's not
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: that oh, you can you can't play hard teams. You
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: can take a cupcase schedule, but you can't lose these
• 5:52
  Speaker 4: the bad teams. You can't lose the bad teams and
• 5:55
  Speaker 4: still go. So I am tired of that and oh,
• 5:57
  Speaker 4: by the way, SEC, and I love the SEC. But
• 6:00
  Speaker 4: I saw Tennessee getting Molly beat Indiana.
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: It didn't even look close.
• 6:08
  Speaker 4: At some point, I was like, my god, I think
• 6:10
  Speaker 4: I'll put a sixty burger on Tennessee. And I never
• 6:13
  Speaker 4: thought that was going to happen going into.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: No, I didn't either. To me. I don't know, I
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: just I don't really care for the whining when it's
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: all in your power to win and don't lose to
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: bad football teams. And it's like, look, okay, we're just
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: going to go with the eye test and who has
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: the most talent? Like that's not how sports have ever
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: worked ever in any sport, Like there's the most talented,
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: Like how many times have we said individually, this guy's
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: got to Like if that were the case, Jeff George
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: would be in the Hall of Fame. We would just say,
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: you know what, No, he was the most talented. So
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: I don't care. Tom Brady won all these Super Bowls,
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: but Jeff George is more talented than Tom Brady. So
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: if we're gonna have a Hall of Fame, let's put
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: Jeff George in there because he's more talented. Who cares
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: about the talent the results matter, ridiculous. I don't understand
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: that whole argument. There's more NFL players on Alabama than SMU,
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: so they get in. That's not what's the point of
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: playing the games? Like that doesn't make any sense to me.
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: I just didn't care for it. All right, that's it.
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: That's a wrap for the lead block presented by Team
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: Mobile for Business. Football needs a network willing to go
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: the xtra yard. So do you go further with Team
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: Mobile for Business? All right, let's transition to it. It's
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: time for Hot or Not, brought to you by Wasabi
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: Hot Cloud Storage. And if we're looking at guys who
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: are hot, let's look at teams that are hot right now.
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: And I want to focus on the Minnesota Vikings. Buck,
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: we didn't get your chance to win. I feel like,
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: of the three of us, you've been on this train
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: longer than we have. I was a little reluctant to
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: totally buy in. You know, I love what Sam's done. Defensively,
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: they find ways to get stops when they need it.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: They're aggressive, but we were just talking about it yesterday,
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: like they are in control of their own destiny. The
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: number one seed, it's all right there in front of them.
• 7:55
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's all right there in front of it. And
• 7:57
  Speaker 4: I will say this because I'm sure y'all gave Sam
• 7:59
  Speaker 4: Dono his flower. I loved how one. I think Kevin
• 8:02
  Speaker 4: O'Connell has provided a blueprint on how to build up
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: and support your quarterback, not just through the schematics, but
• 8:08
  Speaker 4: every time he talks, he makes sure he uplifts the quarterback.
• 8:12
  Speaker 4: He talked about Sam Donald like finally having an opportunity
• 8:16
  Speaker 4: to play and show people what he could do and
• 8:18
  Speaker 4: how it's not us, it's him.
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: I just love that from Kevin O'Connell.
• 8:22
  Speaker 4: Obviously, he's a friend of the show, we know him
• 8:24
  Speaker 4: pretty well, but I just love the way that he
• 8:25
  Speaker 4: supports them. The reason why the Vikings are dangerous because
• 8:29
  Speaker 4: they have multiple paths to victory. They not only can
• 8:32
  Speaker 4: go a Sam Donald to Justin Jefferson, they have a
• 8:34
  Speaker 4: full compliment of weapons on the outside. When it comes
• 8:36
  Speaker 4: to their passing game, they can run the ball with
• 8:39
  Speaker 4: Aaron Jones just enough to keep you balanced, to do
• 8:41
  Speaker 4: it defensively. They excel in two of the categories that
• 8:46
  Speaker 4: matter the most, sacks and takeaways.
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: That's what they live for.
• 8:50
  Speaker 4: It that's what they play for, and when the offense
• 8:52
  Speaker 4: gives them a lead, they're able to feast off offenses
• 8:56
  Speaker 4: that are chasing points. To me, they are a team
• 8:59
  Speaker 4: that is well constructed when it comes to the playoffs,
• 9:02
  Speaker 4: and you're right, if they're able to win the number
• 9:05
  Speaker 4: one seed, get to buy and have those games go
• 9:08
  Speaker 4: through there.
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a game change.
• 9:10
  Speaker 4: Even though I like how Dan Campbell sucked it up
• 9:13
  Speaker 4: and said everybody, I don't care about the excuses. We're
• 9:16
  Speaker 4: gonna get after it. The old scoo coaching me loves it.
• 9:18
  Speaker 4: But Minnesota is a very, very tough out.
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: I got a hot team for you, and it's a
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: team that we've talked about a bunch, but not necessarily
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: for the reasons in DJ. You and I hit this
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: when we were talking about the Rams beating the Jets.
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: But the Rams showing that they can win with defense too,
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: I think is an important step as they get ready
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: to close out this regular season right now leading the
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: NFC West, and you know, the the Vikings certainly gave
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: them a little bit of cushion there by taking care
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: of business against the Seahawks. But I think we've talked
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: so much about you know, you know how they manufacture
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: offense with the run game and Kien Williams. Then you
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: can always count on big physical presence wide receivers like
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: Cooper Up and Pooka Akua making big catches. They're so
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: hard to bring down when they get the ball in
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: their hands. They're reliable targets. But man on defense for
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: you to be able to rely on a defense to
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: win the way they did and keep uh, you know
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: the Jets under ten points, it was you know, they
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: had some bend but don't break moments there too. Turnover
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: on downs, had a couple of turnovers there. So like
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: I think that when you're looking at teams that can
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: play some complimentary football, it can pick up one side
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: of the ball when one is less than The Rams
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: certainly fit that bill to me, and it could be
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: something to watch as a hot team moving forward.
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, definitely two hot teams to keep an eye on
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: there in the NFC. That was this week's Hot or
• 10:37

• 10:50
  Speaker 1: I mean, what are we doing here? Let's step your
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: you know what I've tried to get, I've tried.
• 10:54
  Speaker 4: To give you, you.
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: Know, like positive coaching. I'm done with that. Now we're
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: now we're cracking the web.
• 10:59
  Speaker 5: Let's go. Come on.
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: No, No, here's what I'm playing for. I'm playing for
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: the playoffs.
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: I'm playing the playoffs.
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, there's no there's no pride to be done.
• 11:08
  Speaker 4: I've done that. I'm on the Jaguar sideline everything like
• 11:11
  Speaker 4: we were beyond the playing for pride thing.
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: I am right.
• 11:16
  Speaker 4: Yeah, my eyes are on the playoffs, and I'm just
• 11:19
  Speaker 4: I'm just waiting for the playoffs. I'm waiting for the playoffs.
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: Last week, reset it, this doesn't matter. This is the preseason.
• 11:25
  Speaker 4: My eyes are on some playoff version of our fantasy drafted.
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: All right, that's fair, that's Buck. You grew up watching.
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: You grew up watching wrestling as a kid, though, right,
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah.
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: The heel.
• 11:36
  Speaker 4: I love the heels. I love I love the guy
• 11:38
  Speaker 4: that's the bad guy.
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: Well, this is a handicap match, Okay, it's just two
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: v one. I need you to just take enough points
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: away from rhtt that I can sneak by him here
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: to win this thing.
• 11:48
  Speaker 4: That's what we need. So I'm gonna play my part.
• 11:54
  Speaker 4: I am ravishing Rick Rude.
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: Yes, hands the hands behind the head. Yeah nice. Uh well,
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: guess what, Rick Rude? You got the first pick, followed
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: by Bucky and then myself here I've cut into the lead.
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: He's only up by five. We got a chance to
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: reel him in. Wait, hold on.
• 12:12

• 13:21

  Speaker 1: back to back. I'm gonna go. I know it's gonna
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: be cold, but I'm gonna go lad at New England. Yeah,
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: and then and then I'm gonna come back with ours.
• 13:42
  Speaker 5: Hours the Saints.
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, smart, all right, right, you're up?
• 13:47
  Speaker 5: No, Yes, I am up, Yeah, you're up right? All right.
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: So Bucky's already got his quarterback and so we're not
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: going to see you until the last picks. I don't
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: have to go quarterback here, which means I got the
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: Bucks playing for their playoff lives against the Panthers.
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: He's been, he's been so good to you.
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: He's a bucket Buckyball. Bucky Ball has been.
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: Might be I think it's I think it's probably feeling
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: I just there's nothing I can trust with the Giants.
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: Like I want to pick neighbors, but like I, I
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: just that's hard. Give me Bucky Irving baby, let me
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: run or I with him. M hmmm, all right, Bucky?
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: Back to backs?
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, Well I need two wide receivers. Who
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: you took ladd In Bowers early? Right?
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: DJ, you could take a running back wanted?
• 14:38
  Speaker 4: Yeah, running backs. Every time we try and get a
• 14:40
  Speaker 4: running back to get hurt. The only one that is
• 14:42
  Speaker 4: reliable is Bucky. So I guess keep it, Chuck. I
• 14:46
  Speaker 4: guess I'll go with Marvin Harrison JUNR who's done absolutely
• 14:49
  Speaker 4: nothing for me forever.
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: Then feel real good about that.
• 14:54
  Speaker 4: I don't feel great about it. And then I might
• 14:57
  Speaker 4: as well do the other wide receiver for the Giants
• 14:59
  Speaker 4: who doesn't have a back league neighbors just bad bad?
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: Who would think that? These two guys right right?
• 15:08
  Speaker 5: I love it.
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: I don't. I don't like that confidence that you're giving
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: me their buck. All right?
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: Interesting choice, boys, quarterback.
• 15:21
  Speaker 5: Load me up former Indiana.
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: Hoosier Michael to win me the league in the final
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: week of the league.
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: Wow, how about that move, mich I appreciate that that's
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: that's it. That's a gift. That's a gift because.
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: He's a husky.
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: Fuck versus the Bengals. Baby, let's go give me the
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: bow Nicks versus the Bengals. Let me take that one.
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: With their playoff life on the line, they're gotta gotta
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: have it all right, This is going to be interesting
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: to see how this thing shakes out. Final. Uh no,
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: it depends the penultimate. Does that mean the one before?
• 16:05
  Speaker 5: Now?
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: This isn't you want to make it? No?
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: No, we got we got eighteen weeks. The season is
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: eighteen weeks.
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and we can't switch.
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: You never know.
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: Hey, hey, hey, hey, Michael may game to get into
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: the to get into the playoffs, we may need your boy. Hey, hey,
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: Devondre Lewis. Let's let's see this thing through. Let's finish
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: this thing off. Come wow, get to the ye can't
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: walk the walk off the fields. Over all, right, let's
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: say quick break, we come back. We hit the game
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: of the week right after this.
• 16:39
  Speaker 4: It's time for Game of the Week presented by Draft
• 16:41
  Speaker 4: Kings Sportsbook. This week is the Chiefs at the Steelers.
• 16:45
  Speaker 4: To spread is minus two and a half, favoring the Chiefs.
• 16:47
  Speaker 4: The over under is forty three. What a great game.
• 16:52
  Speaker 4: I mean we're talking about I mean, in a way,
• 16:54
  Speaker 4: they're Americans team. They can't see the Chiefs because either
• 16:57
  Speaker 4: you love them or you hate them. There's no there's
• 17:00
  Speaker 4: no sitting right in the.
• 17:02
  Speaker 5: Middle of this.
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: And man, they can clinch it. They can clinch home field.
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: Advantage to get a two week by if they win
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: this game.
• 17:09
  Speaker 4: And despite all of that outrage that goes around the Chiefs,
• 17:14
  Speaker 4: they come full circle back as the back to back
• 17:16
  Speaker 4: defending champs. They're sitting at number one. And the thing
• 17:19
  Speaker 4: about it is, I don't know if Patchrick Mahomes is gumby,
• 17:23
  Speaker 4: but I've never seen someone who like, I mean.
• 17:29
  Speaker 5: Get it.
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I just don't know, But I kind
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: of like how they're trending.
• 17:35
  Speaker 4: I love how they dismantled to Houston Texans, like they're
• 17:38
  Speaker 4: kind of going the right way. It'd be interesting to
• 17:39
  Speaker 4: see how they play against the Chiefs, I mean play
• 17:41
  Speaker 4: against the Steelers. And for the Steelers it's almost like
• 17:45
  Speaker 4: a loser leaf town Matt because they've dropped too in
• 17:48
  Speaker 4: a row. They lose three in a row, you begin
• 17:50
  Speaker 4: to really worry about them. As the Baltimore Ravens take
• 17:54
  Speaker 4: full control over the AFC North.
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: Can I give you a quick basketball analogy. By the way,
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: Mahomes when he entered into the league, he was like
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: Vince Carter, Bucky's guy, where you just had like the
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: high flying dunks and it was just like unbelievable. He
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: has morphed into like Tim Duncan with this team, where
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: like they're just boringly gonna hit the benkshit three seconds
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: left to beat you every single time. Like it is,
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: they've become boringly good.
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah, uh yeah, you know how you know a lot
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: of times we talk about you know, teams, uh, you
• 18:30
  Speaker 3: know doing studies in the offseason, and we'll even do
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: him here right where you go study things that worked
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: really well, you know for other teams in other ways,
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: whether it was concepts you know on offense or certain
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: coverages versus you know, certain looks defensively. I feel like
• 18:44
  Speaker 3: you're going to get the rest of the league to
• 18:46
  Speaker 3: go study with Rick Burke Holder and the Kansas City Chiefs.
• 18:51
  Speaker 5: Yeah, how are they find What have they found?
• 18:55
  Speaker 3: What secret sauce have they found with the high ankles
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: that allows you know, a player like Mahome who is
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: moving around constantly at a rushing touchdown in this game
• 19:04
  Speaker 3: to just kind of be fine, It's it's incredible. I mean, obviously,
• 19:09
  Speaker 3: you know, credit to Mahomes and his toughness and all that,
• 19:12
  Speaker 3: but man, they figured that part out pretty well.
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: But look, the Steelers getting pickings back buck is big though.
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: That changes the offense.
• 19:21
  Speaker 4: It does because they've been very prodestrian. They've they've been
• 19:24
  Speaker 4: limited and you see his impact and value. And maybe
• 19:26
  Speaker 4: that was a plan to allow him to get fully
• 19:28
  Speaker 4: healthy because they know they're going to need that not
• 19:31
  Speaker 4: only down the regular season, but in the postseason.
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: They need the deep ball. Uh.
• 19:35
  Speaker 4: It's just the fact that they're just losing these games
• 19:37
  Speaker 4: to these top teams you kind of warner about their
• 19:40
  Speaker 4: legitimate contender status. This would be a big game for them.
• 19:43
  Speaker 4: One thing that we do know is they have traditionally
• 19:45
  Speaker 4: played well against the Kent City Chiefs. They kind of
• 19:49
  Speaker 4: had a way of being able to kind of get
• 19:50
  Speaker 4: around it. Now Pat Mahomes is a different animal. But
• 19:53
  Speaker 4: it'd be interesting to see how they attack them, being
• 19:55
  Speaker 4: able to play him in their own stadium.
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: See if they can get a dub. Yeah.
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: No, it's going to be a big ball game. Looking
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: forward to that, and again the Steelers went out, they
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: win the division, they lose this ballgame. Now the power
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: goes over to the Baltimore Ravens to walk through it
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: and come to the division, who.
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: Was beginning to play really, really well.
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: The loser of that division is going to go to Houston,
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: which I don't know that they're all that concerned. Yeah, yeah, No,
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: you'd like to be at home. You like to be
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: at home. But you're looking at you're looking at potentially
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: it would be a would you let me ask you this,
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: would you guys rather play at home versus the Chargers
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: or would you rather play on the road versus the Texans?
• 20:36
  Speaker 4: I mean, I think I think you want to play
• 20:38
  Speaker 4: the Look the Texans just lost Tankdale the down Stepan
• 20:41
  Speaker 4: Diggs did. Now one man showing the perimeter with Nico Collins, like,
• 20:45
  Speaker 4: I don't know if they were last year to Yeah.
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: Do you think, Gret you're are Houston, you're a Houstonian?
• 20:53
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 20:53
  Speaker 3: I just I still think that there's there's enough there
• 20:57
  Speaker 3: with Houston, especially on the defensive side of the ball.
• 20:59
  Speaker 3: I know they lost none a couple of guys too
• 21:01
  Speaker 3: on that side, but I think there's still enough there
• 21:03
  Speaker 3: defensively to cause you some trouble. And I think in
• 21:05
  Speaker 3: the playoffs i'd rather almost any opponent at home.
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah that's fair, that's fair. Well, your sister well will
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: approve of that.
• 21:14
  Speaker 5: I love the bonds, the bond, the bond, didn't.
• 21:18

• 22:14
  Speaker 4: that he supports. I'm just going to miss the fandom
• 22:17
  Speaker 4: because at a time where uh, the media business used
• 22:21
  Speaker 4: to be unbiased and we reported things right down the line.
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: Fair.

  Speaker 4: It's good to have a fan, and I don't know
