So before we get into the gut check time 20 00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:12,680 We got to talk about a few games that caught my eye. Okay, so let's just dive into everything 21 00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:18,140 Okay, so Russell Wilson 15 for 26 158 passing yards to touchdowns 22 00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:22,560 6.1 yards per attempt in a 57.7 completion percentage 23 00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:25,720 Okay, Najee Harris 16 attempts for 53 rushing yards 24 00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:32,400 3.3 rushing yards per carry and one rush of 10 plus yards or more Pat Fryer move three targets for three receptions 25 00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:39,040 48 receiving yards one touchdown and 16 receiving yards per reception James Winston 24 for 41 26 00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:42,640 212 passing yards to touchdowns to picks 27 00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:49,400 5.2 yards per temp in a 58.5 completion percentage Nick Chubb 11 attempts for 48 rushing yards 28 00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:56,000 4.4 rushing yards per carry and one rush of 10 plus yards or more Jerry Judy six targets for five receptions 29 00:02:56,280 --> 00:03:02,680 64 receiving yards one touchdown and 12.8 receiving yards per reception now. This is what I will say about this game 30 00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:09,360 This was a highly anticipated game that definitely drew a lot of attention by a lot of people 31 00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:14,800 Simply because of how things you know went down with the first matchup between these two teams 32 00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:21,600 All right, it started to look a little bit shaky at first because the you know after after the Browns scored their first touchdown 33 00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:27,840 They started to build some momentum and they started to drive up the field and then things were starting to get to a point 34 00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:33,460 Where they were you know setting themselves up to either score a touchdown or get a field go the Steelers being the Steelers of course 35 00:03:33,460 --> 00:03:36,560 We're starting out really slow. We needed somebody to make a play 36 00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:43,240 Who was that person that made it play Keanu Ben? Keanu Ben gets a very much needed interception and in doing so 37 00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:49,360 Puts you know puts the offense in a great put you know in a great position to score and then the rest is history 38 00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:54,920 And you know with us getting Alex Highsmith back that was very much needed because you know 39 00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:59,480 He was doing his thing TJ White still has someone of a quiet game 40 00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:04,720 He was still doing his thing as well Cam Hayward continues to defy the odds and 41 00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:09,000 Continues to silence the naysayers every single season 42 00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:17,520 So all in all a really great win and this puts the team in a really good position because as of right now if I'm not mistaken 43 00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:21,800 They could clinch their playoff spot on Sunday 44 00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:27,920 Now it can be clinched in two ways. It can be clinched with either Miami or 45 00:04:28,840 --> 00:04:33,200 Indianapolis, I'm losing or if they win against the Eagles now 46 00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:38,760 Do I think they will win against the Eagles? I don't know simply because George Pickens is going to be out and 47 00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:44,000 You know the offense was really struggling on Sunday without George Pickens 48 00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:50,480 And you see how much of a role Joe George Pickens plays on this offense now granted 49 00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:58,000 Yes, we did get Mike Williams and in what not but he can't do what George Pickens can do right and so I just 50 00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:03,720 Want to see exactly how things are going to go now. I can be you know a fan and I can say oh, yeah 51 00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:08,000 We're gonna be the Eagles. We have not won against the Eagles in a long time 52 00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:14,240 So only time will tell I still have my spirits up high get on on Sunday 53 00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:17,280 But only time will tell but you know for the Browns 54 00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:20,320 This basically just puts the nail in the coffin for your season 55 00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:27,000 And I'm not saying this you know to be funny or anything, but I'm saying this because you know the aspirations of possibly making 56 00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:31,800 You know somewhat of a play a playoff run or trying against a wild card 57 00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:36,440 It's over now on to another game that definitely caught my attention as well 58 00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:41,800 And that is the Eagles in the Panthers game now before we get to any of the hot takes and any of the things that you know 59 00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:45,880 Have been leaked out within the last few days. Let's just get into the stats first 60 00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:52,200 Okay, so Jalen Hertz 14 for 21 108 passing yards to touchdowns 5.1 yards per temp 61 00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:57,880 In a 66.7 completion percentage say Kwame Barkley 20 attempts for 124 rushing yards 62 00:05:58,280 --> 00:06:04,920 6.2 rushing yards per carry and five rushes of 10 plus yards or more AJ Brown for targets for four receptions 63 00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:09,080 43 receiving yards 10.8 receiving yards per reception Bryce young 64 00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:10,800 19 for 34 65 00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:14,000 191 passing yards one touchdown one pick 66 00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:19,000 5.6 yards per temp in a 55.9 completion percentage Chava Hubbard 67 00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:26,360 26 attempts for 92 rushing yards 3.5 rushing yards per carry and one touchdown and one rush of 10 plus yards or more 68 00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:30,640 Adam Thielen 11 targets for nine receptions 102 receiving yards 69 00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:38,400 11.3 receiving yards per reception now. This is what I will say about this game before this game even happened 70 00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:42,120 Most people would have thought okay. This is going to be a complete slaughter 71 00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:46,120 This is going to be a game where the Eagles are basically going to run up the numbers 72 00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:51,880 But no the Panthers have actually been playing fairly well within the last few weeks of the season 73 00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:57,280 And mind you they're doing this without a lot of their star players on both sides of the ball 74 00:06:57,400 --> 00:07:02,600 They put up a fight against the Eagles if Xavier Leguette catches that touchdown 75 00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:06,280 We are having a whole different conversation about this game 76 00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:10,480 but because he did it of course the Eagles won and the rest is history but 77 00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:15,280 the bigger conversation that's being talked about now though is 78 00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:20,760 The potential friction in the locker room between Jalen Hertz and AJ Brown 79 00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:26,560 There was a point in the game where you know, it was another three and now and 80 00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:31,040 You know AJ Brown was getting off the field and he threw his helmet on the ground 81 00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:38,000 And you can see that he's voicing his frustrations with Devonte Smith and company and you can definitely see that there's 82 00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:42,360 Frustrations and whatnot and you know, that's fine, right? 83 00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:49,920 But then when you have your teammates like Brandon Graham who go publicly and say oh, yeah 84 00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:55,000 There's there. There's there's a little bit of friction between AJ Brown and in Jalen Hertz 85 00:07:56,000 --> 00:08:01,040 I don't know about that birdie. You know what? Hold on. Give me three seconds. I'm gonna find this quote 86 00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:07,160 Stay tuned and we're back here folks and I found that quote. Okay, so this comes from Brandon Graham 87 00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:11,080 Okay, we're gonna talk about this quote as well as the apology that he put out as well 88 00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:14,920 So here we go and I quote I don't know the whole story 89 00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:19,320 But I know that one is trying the leaven could be better with how he responds to things 90 00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:26,200 They was friends before this but things have changed and I understand that because life happens and I quote now 91 00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:28,200 This is what I will say Brandon Graham 92 00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:36,200 This was probably the wrong time to say something like this because now you have somewhat created this giant media storm 93 00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:40,800 within Philly which we all know has been very toxic and 94 00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:45,840 For I don't know even how long but they're super toxic when it comes to their sports teams 95 00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:48,840 now you have created this storyline that 96 00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:56,560 Jalen Hertz and AJ Brown are basically beefing in all those different types of things and then you try to you know 97 00:08:56,560 --> 00:09:01,280 Spin things and try to apologize and try to tamp out the fire when it's like bro. You can't do that 98 00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:08,000 So this is what he did this is what he says right and I quote first I wanted to start off by apologizing to my guys 99 00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:09,680 I made the assumption 100 00:09:09,680 --> 00:09:13,520 I didn't know all the details and I still don't and I was just like dang 101 00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:17,080 I just really saw everything that you all saw with the video and I was 102 00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:21,840 Reacting to that and I should have used a little bit more logic on it as always 103 00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:26,160 We got to stand up through the good in the bad right now. I don't think it's that bad 104 00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:31,200 I think it's a great thing because chaos definitely creates diamonds pressure makes diamonds 105 00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:36,760 I feel like this is about to be something where we're going to bounce back from really good. This is what he's saying 106 00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:42,120 That's not what I'm saying. This is the direct quote the direct quote that he's saying. That's not me missing any words or anything 107 00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:44,520 I just want to put that out there. We all make mistakes 108 00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:49,240 All of us just want to win for the city and we all may made some mistakes in this one 109 00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:55,400 I understand that you're trying to apologize and you're trying to you know rewrite your wrongs and everything but 110 00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:58,260 What's done is done at this point now 111 00:09:58,260 --> 00:10:03,340 Everybody is going to start speculating and going to start using their quote-unquote sources 112 00:10:03,500 --> 00:10:09,700 imaginary sources and try to put out leaks and all these different types of things but the fact of the matter is 113 00:10:10,100 --> 00:10:16,060 The team is winning we are on the cusp of potentially making it to the Super Bowl once again 114 00:10:16,060 --> 00:10:22,780 And the only way that we can do this is if we stay locked in and if you're not locked in guess what's going to happen 115 00:10:22,780 --> 00:10:29,180 It's going to create friction from the outside and then what's happening on the outside is going to try to link it to the inside 116 00:10:29,180 --> 00:10:32,980 And you don't want that especially at this point of the season 117 00:10:33,620 --> 00:10:41,540 Right now the only teams that you really have to worry about in your division is the Lions the Vikings 118 00:10:42,100 --> 00:10:44,100 and the Packers 119 00:10:44,380 --> 00:10:50,980 That's it. Everybody else it's up in the air and you wouldn't even have to face them because why you're in great 120 00:10:50,980 --> 00:10:59,540 You know, you're in a great position playoff wise. So again time to put out, you know quotes and assumptions of this magnitude and great 121 00:10:59,540 --> 00:11:04,820 I understand, you know, when you look at the games and you see frustration and whatnot 122 00:11:04,940 --> 00:11:09,900 You instantly want to assume things but this was the wrong time to do that 123 00:11:09,900 --> 00:11:12,140 This is what I will say though for the Eagles 124 00:11:12,140 --> 00:11:15,220 You do have some tough matchups do I have to go up against the Steelers? 125 00:11:15,740 --> 00:11:20,380 Despite, you know, you guys have been winning and beating us for the last up team years 126 00:11:20,380 --> 00:11:24,180 You still have to go up against us, you know, we're not no slouches 127 00:11:24,500 --> 00:11:29,780 So maybe this is the game where they try to you know silence the haters and they see it 128 00:11:29,780 --> 00:11:33,460 There's in all those people that are assuming things. Maybe this is the game 129 00:11:33,460 --> 00:11:39,660 But I'm telling you if they lose bad against the Steelers this thing is going to blow up even more 130 00:11:40,100 --> 00:11:46,380 But I'm not even gonna go there. I'm just gonna leave it where it be. All right now on to another game 131 00:11:46,380 --> 00:11:51,780 The Rams against the Bills now. Let's just get into the stats before I say what I need to say. All right 132 00:11:51,780 --> 00:12:00,500 So Josh Allen 22 for 37 342 passing yards three touchdowns 9.2 yards per temp in a 59.5 completion percentage 133 00:12:01,060 --> 00:12:06,180 Josh Allen, that's crazy, right? He's running back 10 attempts for 82 rushing yards 134 00:12:06,380 --> 00:12:11,380 8.2 rushing yards per carry three touchdowns and three rushes of 10 plus yards or more 135 00:12:11,380 --> 00:12:18,100 This is listen when I was pulling up the stats. I was a little bit skeptical about putting Josh Allen on it twice 136 00:12:18,260 --> 00:12:19,900 But I was like, you know what? 137 00:12:19,900 --> 00:12:24,580 And we might as well want to do it. All right, Khalil Shakir eight targets for five exceptions 138 00:12:24,820 --> 00:12:30,420 106 receiving yards one touchdown and 21.2 receiving yards per exception Matthew Stafford 139 00:12:30,700 --> 00:12:37,420 23 for 30 320 passing yards to touchdowns 10.7 yards per temp in a 76.7 completion percentage 140 00:12:37,420 --> 00:12:45,780 Kyren Williams 29 attempts for 87 rushing yards three rushing yards per carry two touchdowns and two rushes of 10 plus yards or more 141 00:12:45,980 --> 00:12:49,060 Pukka Nakua 14 targets for 12 receptions 142 00:12:49,860 --> 00:12:54,700 162 receiving yards one touchdown and 13.5 receiving yards per reception 143 00:12:54,700 --> 00:12:58,500 This is what I will say this game definitely could have been winnable for the Bills 144 00:12:58,740 --> 00:13:04,480 But because of their own mistakes, they allow the Rams to win 145 00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:11,200 There was a stretch where it was a bunch of passion and ferrets holding passion and ferrets passion and ferrets passion and ferrets 146 00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:16,280 I'm like, bro. How many times you guys are gonna keep on calling passion and ferrets on this defense? 147 00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:22,320 This defense is starting to get a little bit leaky here folks. I'm just saying I'm just saying any time 148 00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:30,040 You have a team like the Bills who have a really good defense and they are continuing to repeat the same penalty 149 00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:34,080 over and over and over and over again 150 00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:39,480 That catches up to you and guess what happened the Rams caught up and they won the game 151 00:13:39,680 --> 00:13:42,640 They couldn't stop Puka nor could they stop Cooper Cup? 152 00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:44,800 As of right now 153 00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:48,960 The Rams are definitely a dark horse within the NFC playoffs 154 00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:55,120 Because they are a team believe it or not that could give you know teams a run for their money now granny 155 00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:57,240 When you look on paper 156 00:13:57,280 --> 00:14:01,120 You're probably thinking well, they don't got this or they don't got that or they don't got that 157 00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:08,400 But guess what they play fundamentally sound and they've been doing it for the second half of this season 158 00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:11,440 And it's paying off phenomenally and right now 159 00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:16,800 They are in the driver's seat where they can determine if they're really going to make a deep playoff run now 160 00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:20,000 I'm not saying that they're gonna go to the Super Bowl. I'm not gonna say they're gonna win the Super Bowl 161 00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:27,440 But what I will say is this they are a team that you cannot sleep on that offense is running on all cylinders that defense 162 00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:31,280 Especially that defensive line Jared verse Brandon Fisk 163 00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:34,880 Once again, the Rams are hitting on their draft picks 164 00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:42,320 But that's a deeper conversation for another day that we will have this offseason though onto the Cardinals in Seahawks game. All right 165 00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:51,680 Geno Smith 24 for 30 233 passing yards one touchdown 7.8 yards per 10 in a 80% completion percentage 166 00:14:51,680 --> 00:15:00,000 Wow Zach Charbonade 22 attempts for 134 rushing yards 6.1 rushing yards per carry two touchdowns and four rushes 167 00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:06,640 Of 10 plus yards or more Jackson Smith and the jigba five targets for five receptions 82 receiving yards one touchdown 168 00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:08,800 16.4 receiving yards per reception 169 00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:11,360 Collin Murray 25 for 38 170 00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:18,560 259 passing yards two touchdowns two picks 6.8 yards per attempt in a 65.8 completion percentage 171 00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:25,680 James Connor 18 attempts for 90 rushing yards five rushing yards per carry and four rushes of 10 plus yards or more 172 00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:32,080 Tray McBride 14 targets for seven receptions 70 receiving yards and 10 receiving yards per reception 173 00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:34,080 This was a pretty good game 174 00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:36,080 But then it started to get out of hand 175 00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:41,440 Once the Seahawks really started to impose their will on this Cardinals offense 176 00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:47,760 Kyler Murray seemed a little bit startled once things started to not go in his direction 177 00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:55,600 And then ultimately, you know, the Seahawks just ran with you know, the momentum that they had and they sealed the win 178 00:15:56,160 --> 00:15:59,440 This does affect the the Cardinals because again, this is a 179 00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:02,640 divisional game and we have hit that point where 180 00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:09,920 If your divisional record is not in a good spot, it's going to affect you when it comes to playoff seeding and whatnot 181 00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:13,760 So all in all, you know, this is something that you know 182 00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:19,440 The team has to sort of be concerned about with with you know, the next few games, you know coming up 183 00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:22,320 You want to try to win as many games as you have a safety net 184 00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:26,400 For yourself just in case things go a little bit 185 00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:30,640 Right because right now your division is topsy turvy 186 00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:33,440 You're competitive with the Rams and the Seahawks 187 00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:42,080 And so right now of those three who is one going to win the division and who's going to get you know that that seed 188 00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:44,720 from from that division 189 00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:50,400 Because right now you can make a strong case that the Rams are just as dangerous as the Cardinals 190 00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:55,840 And you can make a case right now that the Seahawks are probably the biggest problem within that division 191 00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:58,160 It's a team that is young 192 00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:05,360 Hungry and has a head coach who has done phenomenal things with this defense. May I remind you folks? 193 00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:09,600 This is the same head coach who was the defense of coordinator for the ram 194 00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:13,840 I mean not for the Rams for the Ravens last year with that historic defense 195 00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:16,400 I'm telling you 196 00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:18,160 The Seahawks team 197 00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:23,600 It's gonna this division as a whole outside of the 49ers. They're going to be problems moving forward 198 00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:27,760 All three of these teams are young all three of these teams have young coaches 199 00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:32,000 All three of these teams are going to be ultra competitive as time progresses, but 200 00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:38,960 It's gut check time and you already know what that means. Okay, this one is going to be a little bit different 201 00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:40,000 Why? 202 00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:44,400 Because this is going to be a gut check for every single team in the division. Okay 203 00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:47,360 32 gut checks. Okay 204 00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:55,280 So let's begin with the greatest division in football the amc north. Okay, so for the browns finish strong 205 00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:59,760 Okay, you have four games left. You need to put out some good tape 206 00:17:59,840 --> 00:18:04,160 Especially if you are a player who was supposed to be a free agent after this season 207 00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:08,560 This browns team needs to go through somewhat of a makeover, right? 208 00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:11,600 The Dishon Watson project has not worked 209 00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:16,480 So far you have seen more production with two backup quarterbacks 210 00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:24,160 Then you have the quarterback that you traded for and you gave him a fully guaranteed contract 211 00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:27,120 I'm not saying that you have to get rid of Dishon Watson 212 00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:33,600 But you need to assess the quarterback position as well as other positions on both sides of the ball 213 00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:39,920 Because as of right now, there is no reason why this team should have not been, you know fighting 214 00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:45,680 You know to get into the wild card because again, james winston despite all of his ups and downs 215 00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:51,280 He's had flashes of you know, good james winston and he's had bad james winston 216 00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:59,040 But all in all, you know what you're getting with him. You see that he's been more productive than what Dishon Watson has been prior to him getting injured 217 00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:04,640 If I am the browns if i'm kevin stafansky, you're gonna have to start james winston next year 218 00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:07,760 You're gonna have to wolf. Well, actually, you know what skirt? 219 00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:14,080 Let me bring that back. You're gonna have to resign james winston and you're gonna have to make him the starter 220 00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:15,920 until 221 00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:22,800 Dishon Watson can prove that he is you know, the guy because as of right now as I just said 222 00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:25,040 Joe flacco 223 00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:27,040 literally carried this team into the playoffs 224 00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:32,080 And basically was playing with house money and james winston did it. I'm sorry 225 00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:36,480 Decisions have to be made. All right. Now for the bangles 226 00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:40,240 I really don't know because they are a team that 227 00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:46,640 I really didn't expect for them to get to this point when you look at the stats that joe bro has been putting up 228 00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:51,040 You can make a strong case that if they were winning if they had a winning record 229 00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:53,680 Most likely he would be competing for MVP 230 00:19:54,320 --> 00:20:00,400 But because of their defense is so lackluster and their defense has you know has failed them more than helped them 231 00:20:01,120 --> 00:20:04,880 This is the situation that they're in now greening you won against Dallas cool 232 00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:12,560 But you have Tennessee Cleveland Denver and then Pittsburgh. You're going to lose at least two of those games 233 00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:19,120 Maybe even three if we're being honest here. Do I think they could possibly you know sneak into the playoffs? 234 00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:23,440 Maybe but I think that window is so 235 00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:28,000 So small. I'm talking about the smallest of the small 236 00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:31,920 I'm talking about not even a little bit of air could get through that 237 00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:35,920 There's just no point you might also want to try to finish the season strong 238 00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:39,440 Assess what you have and what you don't have what you need 239 00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:46,640 How are you going to you know get those needs and then just go from there try to retool for next year for the Ravens lock in 240 00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:52,800 Okay, you're coming off your buy, you know, you're going up against a team in the Giants who they're not going anywhere 241 00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:56,640 And so that should be a game where you can just steamroll them and whatnot 242 00:20:56,640 --> 00:20:59,600 But outside of the Giants you have Pittsburgh 243 00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:02,560 You have Houston and you have Cleveland 244 00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:08,080 You are going to probably need to win out in order for you to possibly try 245 00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:15,120 To win the division because even when you look at Pittsburgh's schedule not not trying to you know, put the car before the horse 246 00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:16,880 they have 247 00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:19,200 Philly Baltimore, Kansas City 248 00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:21,920 in Cincinnati, right? 249 00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:26,160 even even though they are in a good spot to win the division 250 00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:28,800 and although 251 00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:31,280 Pittsburgh has a two-game lead over you 252 00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:34,080 If they start losing some games 253 00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:38,560 It can you know it can it can start to make things a little bit dicey 254 00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:41,520 You have to lock in because as of right now 255 00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:44,240 You don't want to get to a point where 256 00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:50,400 You're gonna you're gonna be going up against one of those hot teams like the Broncos or the Chargers or the builds 257 00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:54,320 You don't want that you want to try to go up against a team that you sort of have 258 00:21:54,320 --> 00:22:00,720 Somewhat of a balanced type of matchup not something where it's like. Oh, this is gonna be a hard matchup 259 00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:04,560 I don't know how we're gonna do this. I don't know how they're gonna get out of this for the Steelers 260 00:22:05,120 --> 00:22:08,560 maintain your divisional lead and the reason why I say that is because 261 00:22:09,120 --> 00:22:13,280 As I just said, you do have a two-game lead over the Ravens 262 00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:20,480 But this is the hardest stretch that you are going to have this entire season that everybody was talking about 263 00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:22,960 You have to go up against Philly 264 00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:26,080 Baltimore, Kansas City, and then Cincinnati 265 00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:34,800 But you have to go begins Philly Baltimore, Kansas City within a matter of a few days not to mention George Pickens is out for this game 266 00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:36,880 So 267 00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:42,880 I I don't know. I really don't know but I will tell you this my time is going to have that team ready 268 00:22:43,360 --> 00:22:45,120 I don't care anyone says 269 00:22:45,120 --> 00:22:49,840 Mike Tomlin is going to have this team ready to compete now 270 00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:57,600 Now the Steelers are in a situation where they could still win and and still secure their their playoff spot 271 00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:00,640 either by winning their game on Sunday or 272 00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:03,520 Miami losing or 273 00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:06,560 The Colts losing so either way they're going to make into the playoffs, right? 274 00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:10,880 It's just a matter of do they want to continue to try to compete for a higher seed? 275 00:23:11,360 --> 00:23:18,240 Because if the bills lose against the Lions on Sunday, I think they do have a chance of possibly getting the second seed 276 00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:23,200 So hey man a lot is riding on this now for the afc south 277 00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:27,120 Fight you got to fight to win the division because as of right now 278 00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:32,400 You're coming off your body. Okay, cool. Your first opponent coming off the body is Denver 279 00:23:33,120 --> 00:23:40,880 Denver is red hot right now Denver is ready. They are ready to be competitive into the wild card slash playoffs 280 00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:43,840 So you're going to have to you know, you're going to have to deal with it 281 00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:50,800 And then after that you're going to have to go up go up against Tennessee. I don't expect, you know, Tennessee to really put up a fight 282 00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:54,720 I think they're just you know in a position where they're preparing themselves for the draft 283 00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:57,440 New York steamroll 284 00:23:57,680 --> 00:23:59,680 Jaguars steamroll 285 00:23:59,760 --> 00:24:04,640 Well, actually, you know, I take that back. I take the back the divisional. I forgot all about it 286 00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:09,520 You still have to worry about the Jaguars despite them not having Trevor Lawrence for for the rest of the season 287 00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:12,720 You still have to worry about them because why they are your divisional rivals 288 00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:18,320 So you see them twice the season for the Jaguars hit the reset button.

Okay, if I'm a player in this team 339 00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:40,400 I am calling my agent. I'm figuring out. Hey 340 00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:46,960 What would my value be if I was a hit free agency? What teams you think will probably be interested in me? 341 00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:53,040 Let's start, you know, let's start building up a transition plan once this season is over with 342 00:27:53,040 --> 00:27:56,400 If I'm on a contract, you know, what do I need to do so I can request 343 00:27:57,280 --> 00:28:02,640 Request a trade so I can get out of here all those different types of things. Okay, because this is a mess 344 00:28:03,280 --> 00:28:06,560 This is a complete mess and you are going to need somebody 345 00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:10,880 To come in and to clean this up on both sides of the ball 346 00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:14,560 Okay, you have to figure out what you're going to do with Aaron Rodgers 347 00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:19,520 You have to figure out what you're going to do with the vante atoms. There's just so much to figure out at this point 348 00:28:19,520 --> 00:28:22,960 This isn't going to be an overnight thing. This is going to be a 349 00:28:23,520 --> 00:28:27,920 You know multi-year process thing and so you have to be able to sell that 350 00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:34,560 To the owner as well despite his departure because he's going to be the ambassador for the uk from that mistake 351 00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:37,280 I don't know. No one no one cares about that. But 352 00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:41,840 I do think what what does need to be talked about though is the vante atoms 353 00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:48,320 You know words that you know that that came out a few days ago on the up and Adam show 354 00:28:48,320 --> 00:28:53,600 And I quote I mean it'll be a sad thing for sure. But hopefully that's not the case 355 00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:57,120 That's why we got to make the most of the ones we have here 356 00:28:57,360 --> 00:29:02,400 We had a decent showing last game and I do say decent because it's not up to our standard of greatness 357 00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:06,080 But it was definitely a step in the right direction and I quote 358 00:29:06,640 --> 00:29:09,920 And that's basically him talking about you know the potential of him 359 00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:13,840 You know being released and you know not playing with Aaron Rodgers anymore 360 00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:18,880 But this is something important that I think needs to be talked about though since joining the Jets 361 00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:25,920 Devante Adams has had four re-receptions for 453 receiving yards three touchdowns in seven games, right? 362 00:29:26,160 --> 00:29:33,840 He has failed to surpass 100 receiving yards in six of the seven games that he's been with the Jets 363 00:29:34,560 --> 00:29:37,680 This has been a complete dumpster fire 364 00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:40,400 For this season. Okay 365 00:29:40,400 --> 00:29:43,600 I understand that you wanted to play with your guy 366 00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:48,880 Understand, you know, you have the most success with your guy, but at the end of the day, guess what? 367 00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:51,760 It has been nothing but a waste of time 368 00:29:52,400 --> 00:29:54,400 You have wasted another season 369 00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:57,200 Trying to think that you are going to win 370 00:29:57,920 --> 00:29:59,360 with this guy 371 00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:03,040 And granted I understand that you know you have chemistry with him 372 00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:05,760 And you probably didn't want to try to develop chemistry with other players 373 00:30:05,760 --> 00:30:10,160 But guess what when you look at all the other teams that were interested in you? 374 00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:13,680 Guess what all three of those other teams are going to go to the playoffs 375 00:30:14,160 --> 00:30:18,800 You're not going to go to the playoffs and not to mention it also doesn't help 376 00:30:19,360 --> 00:30:24,560 That you also have the highest cap hit on the team at 38.3 million 377 00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:29,920 So it'll be different if your stats was phenomenal 378 00:30:30,320 --> 00:30:34,080 Then they can try to talk themselves into you know taking on that cap 379 00:30:34,080 --> 00:30:38,560 But because you really have been playing the best this season 380 00:30:39,120 --> 00:30:43,680 They're gonna have to let you go and if I'm Devonte Adams if I'm in his corner 381 00:30:43,680 --> 00:30:48,480 I'm probably telling you a bro. Listen, you done did everything else. Okay, you done got the money 382 00:30:48,960 --> 00:30:50,400 You didn't got all the other success 383 00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:54,800 It's time for you to end this thing with the championship and if I'm Devonte Adams 384 00:30:55,360 --> 00:31:02,560 I want to be released and I want to try to go for any of these other playoff caliber teams at this point because 385 00:31:02,560 --> 00:31:09,200 You have more years behind you than you do ahead of you and you want to end things on the right foot 386 00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:16,400 Which is what holding up a Lombardi trophy for the other team that we are talking about okay? 387 00:31:16,960 --> 00:31:18,960 Patriots in the season strong 388 00:31:19,600 --> 00:31:24,480 Nobody expected for you to win five six seven eight nine ten eleven twelve games. All right 389 00:31:25,120 --> 00:31:30,160 We all know that you're going through a hard rebuild. So the expectations are fairly low, but 390 00:31:30,160 --> 00:31:34,640 You are going to have some tough matchups. Okay some really tough matchups 391 00:31:35,120 --> 00:31:37,120 You have to go up against Arizona 392 00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:43,280 Buffalo the Chargers and then Buffalo again. Those are some really good defenses and they're going to punch you in the mouth 393 00:31:43,840 --> 00:31:45,840 So you have to be prepared for that 394 00:31:45,920 --> 00:31:50,480 Not to mention you just released kj Osborne who's probably one of your most productive receivers 395 00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:54,080 Even though yes that it was a mutual parting, but still 396 00:31:54,960 --> 00:31:57,280 You know you have that and whatnot. So 397 00:31:57,280 --> 00:32:01,680 Just just just try to win something at least try to make it competitive 398 00:32:01,680 --> 00:32:06,560 If you try to make it competitive, I don't think no one's really gonna say just get steamrolled by the rest of these teams 399 00:32:06,560 --> 00:32:11,600 I don't know now. I'm not saying that you know, they're gonna get rid of Jarot male or anything, but again 400 00:32:12,400 --> 00:32:18,960 The expectations coming into this season was fairly low. I think this was probably their ceiling with three games 401 00:32:19,280 --> 00:32:26,320 You know now you have to position yourselves for next year when it comes to the draft and free agency and all those different types of things 402 00:32:26,320 --> 00:32:31,600 Now when we look at the dolphins though, you still have a chance to make it into the playoffs 403 00:32:31,600 --> 00:32:35,760 However, the role to get into the playoffs is going to be hard 404 00:32:35,760 --> 00:32:41,760 Okay, because you're going to have to go begins Houston San Francisco Cleveland and the Jets 405 00:32:41,760 --> 00:32:45,920 You're going to have to go up against some teams that are still trying to fight 406 00:32:46,400 --> 00:32:51,600 To you know, either make it into the playoffs or just try to end the season strong case in point the Browns 407 00:32:51,600 --> 00:32:53,120 No disrespect to the Browns 408 00:32:53,120 --> 00:33:00,400 And so, you know, right now you are five in no no no no no no no they're six and seven 409 00:33:00,400 --> 00:33:04,960 They are six and seven because they won against the Jets on Sunday. You're six and seven, right? 410 00:33:05,440 --> 00:33:09,360 So right now if you go in a little bit of a run, you beat Houston 411 00:33:09,920 --> 00:33:11,920 You beat San Francisco 412 00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:18,640 That's eight eight and seven. Okay, cool. You beat Cleveland nine and seven then you beat the Jets 10 and seven 413 00:33:18,640 --> 00:33:25,440 You can still get into the wild card now. Am I saying or am I saying that they're going to make it far? Probably not 414 00:33:26,160 --> 00:33:32,400 Probably not simply because of the time that you know that tool was away from the team because they were trying to figure out exactly 415 00:33:32,720 --> 00:33:38,960 the severity of his concussions and whatnot and you know, that's not necessarily a penalty to the team or whatnot 416 00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:43,120 But that's just where where the team is right now if I'm the dolphins 417 00:33:44,160 --> 00:33:45,920 Try to see if you can get to the wild card 418 00:33:45,920 --> 00:33:50,080 If you can't get into the wild card within at least you have some good tape that you can review 419 00:33:50,720 --> 00:33:56,160 And assess and make your decisions about how you want this team to you know to move forward 420 00:33:56,880 --> 00:34:03,120 You know going into next year because as of right now this team in my mind has failed the expectations, right? 421 00:34:03,680 --> 00:34:05,680 You paid to a all that money 422 00:34:06,400 --> 00:34:07,360 cool 423 00:34:07,360 --> 00:34:13,680 You traded for Tyree kill you paid Jay Robato. You got a left tackle 424 00:34:13,680 --> 00:34:19,600 You you know did what you did with the defense and whatnot and so far it really has not paid 425 00:34:20,240 --> 00:34:23,200 Fairly well you haven't made it to a fc championship 426 00:34:23,600 --> 00:34:27,200 Let alone you made it to the Super Bowl and right now 427 00:34:27,760 --> 00:34:29,120 It's not looking good 428 00:34:29,120 --> 00:34:33,360 And I would not be surprised if that head coach is sort of on the hot seat right now 429 00:34:33,520 --> 00:34:37,440 But hey, that's another story for the offseason. Okay now for the bills 430 00:34:37,680 --> 00:34:41,280 Keep adding pressure on the cheeks for the number one seed now granted 431 00:34:41,280 --> 00:34:48,720 You had an ugly game against the Rams on Sunday. And so now you have to try to bounce back from that 432 00:34:49,360 --> 00:34:51,360 Okay, because as of right now Pittsburgh 433 00:34:52,240 --> 00:34:55,680 Could jump over you and get the second seed if you lose to the bills 434 00:34:56,320 --> 00:35:00,000 And that's probably going to be one of their hardest matchups this entire season 435 00:35:00,640 --> 00:35:03,680 So you're going to have to be buttoned up when it comes to the play calling and whatnot 436 00:35:04,160 --> 00:35:08,160 And then after Detroit you have New England the Jets and then New England again 437 00:35:08,160 --> 00:35:11,600 Those are three games that you should be able to steamroll and to win 438 00:35:11,600 --> 00:35:15,520 But again, those are divisional games so anything can happen 439 00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:22,480 Moving on to the afc west keep adding pressure onto the chiefs because as of right now the chargers 440 00:35:23,280 --> 00:35:29,200 Could continue to be a nuisance to the chiefs even though. Yes, they do have the number one seed 441 00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:33,600 You can still try to mess things up, you know for them, right? 442 00:35:34,160 --> 00:35:36,160 Because as of right now you have Tampa Bay 443 00:35:36,880 --> 00:35:38,080 Denver 444 00:35:38,080 --> 00:35:41,920 New England and then the Raiders two of your divisional rivals 445 00:35:42,560 --> 00:35:49,680 Fairly soon. Okay, Tampa Bay's defense even though. Yes, they are banged up a little bit. They can still give you problems problems 446 00:35:50,160 --> 00:35:52,160 New England no problem 447 00:35:53,040 --> 00:35:55,120 Vegas no problem. So 448 00:35:55,840 --> 00:35:59,200 Again, you're in a really good spot. You really are so 449 00:35:59,760 --> 00:36:06,160 You want to try to continue to build off of this momentum because you're going to need it going into the playoffs 450 00:36:06,160 --> 00:36:10,160 You really are now for the Broncos keep fighting 451 00:36:10,800 --> 00:36:12,800 Okay, yes, you you know 452 00:36:13,360 --> 00:36:19,840 You're in the mix to make it into the playoffs great, but at the same time guess what you want to try to 453 00:36:20,560 --> 00:36:21,760 You know 454 00:36:21,760 --> 00:36:24,640 Get as high as you can with when it comes to the seating 455 00:36:25,040 --> 00:36:28,160 You want to because as of right now if i'm not mistaken 456 00:36:28,240 --> 00:36:33,600 I think the chargers are still the fives are still the fifth seed and the Broncos right now are still the seventh seed 457 00:36:34,080 --> 00:36:35,120 so 458 00:36:35,120 --> 00:36:39,200 Hey, if you want to get a little bit higher, you know what you you know what you're going to have to do 459 00:36:39,200 --> 00:36:42,320 You're gonna have to win your you know the most important games you are 460 00:36:42,560 --> 00:36:48,960 You know when we look at it you have the chargers you have Cincinnati and then you end things with Kansas City. So 461 00:36:50,240 --> 00:36:55,200 Most likely that game against Kansas City patch of my homes and company will probably be rested. Who knows but 462 00:36:55,680 --> 00:36:57,520 You know for the Raiders 463 00:36:57,520 --> 00:36:59,600 Thanos snap 464 00:36:59,600 --> 00:37:04,800 Yes, I said it Thanos snap get all that get all that uh infinity stones 465 00:37:05,360 --> 00:37:09,520 Better yet use all your super bowl rings that you won, you know in the 80s and whatnot 466 00:37:09,840 --> 00:37:15,120 Put them all into an infinity gauntlet and then snap your fingers because guess what this season is over for you 467 00:37:15,200 --> 00:37:21,840 Okay, it is kaput. It is done. It is finito. It is over game 468 00:37:22,640 --> 00:37:24,640 over, okay 469 00:37:24,640 --> 00:37:27,680 Even when you look at their schedule and lana jacksonville 470 00:37:27,680 --> 00:37:29,680 Uh new Orleans and the chargers 471 00:37:30,640 --> 00:37:34,560 I do not believe they are not going to win any of those games because I think they are 472 00:37:35,120 --> 00:37:39,520 You know 100 of focused on trying to get your door sanders 473 00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:45,520 And so they realize hey, we want to be able to try to get that you know that number one pick and keep the number one overall 474 00:37:45,520 --> 00:37:49,200 Pick because we have to do lose and that's exactly what they're going to do 475 00:37:49,920 --> 00:37:51,920 The chiefs prepare for the gauntlet 476 00:37:52,720 --> 00:37:53,760 That's right 477 00:37:53,760 --> 00:38:00,720 Prepare for the gauntlet and the reason why I say that is because you have to go against cleveland, houston, pittsburgh, denver 478 00:38:01,360 --> 00:38:06,880 All have really good defenses and I would not be surprised if the browns want to try to damper 479 00:38:07,520 --> 00:38:09,760 You know the the end of your season 480 00:38:10,320 --> 00:38:14,720 I would not be surprised and then not to mention you have to go against houston can't sleep on them 481 00:38:15,120 --> 00:38:20,160 You have to go against pittsburgh on christmas. Everyone's going to be watching that game on my fellow junkies 482 00:38:20,160 --> 00:38:23,600 You know you're going to be watching that game because I'm going to be watching that game 483 00:38:23,920 --> 00:38:27,760 Most likely there's a good chance you might lose but again 484 00:38:28,320 --> 00:38:29,920 Who knows? 485 00:38:29,920 --> 00:38:31,920 But I do know this the chiefs 486 00:38:32,320 --> 00:38:36,480 They don't look the best they sort of look like some of those patriot, you know teams 487 00:38:37,200 --> 00:38:41,200 In the later parts of their dynasty where it seemed a little bit shaky 488 00:38:41,600 --> 00:38:46,720 You don't really know if they're really going to be super competitive in the playoffs and then guess what next thing you know 489 00:38:46,720 --> 00:38:51,600 They're in the super bowl once again, but hopefully that is not the case though, but 490 00:38:52,320 --> 00:38:54,320 Let's go to the nfc side 491 00:38:54,720 --> 00:38:56,720 whoo nfc east man 492 00:38:56,960 --> 00:39:04,320 I'm what is there to say about you guys that hasn't been said already, you know giants hit the button 493 00:39:04,960 --> 00:39:08,960 Okay, hit the better. Yeah. Don't even hit the button. Just yank out the cord 494 00:39:10,080 --> 00:39:16,080 From the wall. Okay, because it's it's over. Okay wrap it up tie it up throw it in the trash 495 00:39:16,080 --> 00:39:19,920 It's over with okay, and then not to mention not too long ago 496 00:39:20,000 --> 00:39:23,520 Brian Dable reported that you know drew lock is in a walking boot 497 00:39:23,520 --> 00:39:28,640 So that means Tommy DeVito was going to be the starting quarterback on Sunday. Whoo. This is uh 498 00:39:29,680 --> 00:39:31,680 This is not going to be good 499 00:39:32,400 --> 00:39:37,360 This team is about to get steamrolled. Okay, they are about to get cooked. They are about to get baked 500 00:39:37,840 --> 00:39:43,680 Habachi grilled fried pan seared with a little bit of butter and in time 501 00:39:43,680 --> 00:39:49,120 You know do do the little thing when you get the spoon you keep on scooping scooping scooping scooping scooping 502 00:39:49,120 --> 00:39:53,920 That's exactly what's gonna happen. Keep on scooping scooping scooping scooping else. Okay 503 00:39:55,360 --> 00:39:58,800 Oh, that was a great analogy. I'm gonna have to keep that in but 504 00:39:59,440 --> 00:40:02,960 Yeah, there's nothing really to say about the giants. They're preparing for the draft 505 00:40:03,040 --> 00:40:08,400 They're preparing for you know their next quarterback who they're probably going to draft and whatnot. Oh probably can't war 506 00:40:08,400 --> 00:40:11,440 That wouldn't be surprised for the cowboys finish strong 507 00:40:11,440 --> 00:40:14,800 You know the reason why I say this is because despite 508 00:40:15,360 --> 00:40:18,320 The ups and downs that the cowboys have had this season 509 00:40:18,720 --> 00:40:23,200 You still want to try to root for them not me because I don't like the cowboys not one bit 510 00:40:23,280 --> 00:40:26,880 But if you're a cowboy fan, you still want to try to root for them just to finish strong 511 00:40:26,960 --> 00:40:33,840 Especially for players on that team that you know have a lot of uncertainty because again, this team has a lot of uncertainty 512 00:40:34,000 --> 00:40:37,920 You don't know if they're going to keep Mike McCarthy. You don't know if they're going to bring in a new head coach 513 00:40:37,920 --> 00:40:43,760 You don't know if they're going to you know clean out the positional coaches even though you're your season didn't end the best 514 00:40:43,840 --> 00:40:49,280 Guess what you finish strong. Do I even really want to say the rest of their matchups? Yeah, you might as well 515 00:40:49,680 --> 00:40:54,320 Carolina Tampa Bay Philly Washington. I don't think they're gonna end well 516 00:40:54,880 --> 00:40:58,640 I do not think this is gonna end well folks. I just don't know 517 00:40:59,280 --> 00:41:03,360 Now for the commanders you already most likely are going to be in the playoffs 518 00:41:03,920 --> 00:41:05,680 Do I think they're going to win? 519 00:41:05,680 --> 00:41:11,440 No, do I think they probably could try to win possibly but hey, who knows? 520 00:41:11,840 --> 00:41:14,320 But you know when we look at this, you know 521 00:41:14,800 --> 00:41:19,440 When they were on that hot start, you know, there there was people saying oh man, jayden danes looking 522 00:41:19,920 --> 00:41:22,720 You know like a generation talent. He's doing his thing 523 00:41:23,920 --> 00:41:28,320 And that's the thing, you know, he runs into Baltimore and Pittsburgh and then things get a little bit cool 524 00:41:28,960 --> 00:41:34,640 Things get a little bit chilled and now they're in a situation where although you do have a winning record 525 00:41:34,640 --> 00:41:39,520 You want to try to at least end things with you making to the playoffs just to add the cherry 526 00:41:40,080 --> 00:41:43,120 On top the next games that they have to go up against are 527 00:41:43,920 --> 00:41:47,120 New Orleans Philly Atlanta and then Dallas 528 00:41:47,840 --> 00:41:50,240 New Orleans is somewhat of a dumpster fire 529 00:41:51,040 --> 00:41:52,640 um 530 00:41:52,640 --> 00:41:57,920 Everybody else up in the air because I mean, you know the divisional poems especially Philly and in Dallas 531 00:41:58,400 --> 00:42:04,240 Atlanta, I don't know. I wouldn't be surprised if they bench, you know, Kirk Cousins and had Michael Penik's play 532 00:42:04,240 --> 00:42:11,760 So wouldn't be surprised with that. But all in all you had a really great season build build off of that momentum for next year 533 00:42:12,320 --> 00:42:17,440 Address the holes on the team and figure out how you can make this team better now for the Eagles 534 00:42:17,760 --> 00:42:19,760 I had silence the naysayers 535 00:42:20,160 --> 00:42:22,960 Especially with everything going on right now with the whole 536 00:42:23,520 --> 00:42:26,080 You know jamerhurst and aj brown situation 537 00:42:26,320 --> 00:42:31,760 You want to tamp that down and the only way that you can tamp that down is if you be dominant for the rest of the season 538 00:42:31,760 --> 00:42:34,080 Because right now you have to go up against penceburg 539 00:42:34,800 --> 00:42:38,960 Washington Dallas and then the Giants. I can tell you right now the Giants 540 00:42:39,440 --> 00:42:44,880 Most likely they're going to rest their starters and Kenny will not Kenny. Lenny Pickett is going to be in 541 00:42:45,520 --> 00:42:50,880 Uh, Dallas, I don't know that might actually be a pretty good game. That might actually be a bad good game 542 00:42:50,880 --> 00:42:56,080 I don't know Washington might even be the same thing, but penceburg. Yeah. Yeah 543 00:42:56,080 --> 00:43:02,480 We want our revenge especially from from two years ago when y'all was doing your thing and aj brown was 544 00:43:02,720 --> 00:43:06,880 Was pointing at people when he was basically Randy moss 2.0 on the field. Oh, yeah 545 00:43:07,760 --> 00:43:09,600 Yeah, we want our revenge 546 00:43:09,600 --> 00:43:11,600 We wanted it's a little bit personal on sunday 547 00:43:11,680 --> 00:43:18,240 So all my eagles fans just know if y'all don't hear from me on sunday. Just know it's nothing but love after the game 548 00:43:18,400 --> 00:43:21,200 Not during the game for the nfc north though lions 549 00:43:21,200 --> 00:43:27,360 Maintain control of the divisional and conference lead. You are on a hot streak right now 550 00:43:27,840 --> 00:43:32,640 You are the most dominant team in the nfc. However 551 00:43:33,440 --> 00:43:40,720 You want you don't want to try to you know get the high horse and feel like you're undefeated and no one can 552 00:43:40,800 --> 00:43:44,320 You know can take you down because guess what it'll be that one team that 553 00:43:44,560 --> 00:43:49,120 Nobody would expect and then guess what they punch you in the mouth and now you're out of the playoffs, right? 554 00:43:49,120 --> 00:43:53,840 Because when we look at it, you have to go against Buffalo. That's going to be a tough matchup 555 00:43:54,640 --> 00:43:57,200 Chicago, I don't think that's really going to be a tough matchup 556 00:43:57,280 --> 00:44:02,000 I think they're just you know licking their wounds and just reassessing and how they're going to 557 00:44:02,480 --> 00:44:06,000 You know address this team, you know moving forward, especially next year 558 00:44:06,480 --> 00:44:11,600 San Francisco, they may try to put up a fight just because they want to try to see if they can get into the playoffs 559 00:44:12,160 --> 00:44:17,280 In the Vikings, they're already in the playoffs, but they'll definitely try to you know fight you tooth and nail 560 00:44:17,280 --> 00:44:20,640 That's not a game where you can just rest your starters. I'm sorry 561 00:44:20,880 --> 00:44:25,600 But for the Packers clean up your self-inflicted wounds and prepare yourself for the playoffs 562 00:44:26,240 --> 00:44:29,760 You know the last few games the problem with the Packers is 563 00:44:30,240 --> 00:44:33,360 their self-inflicted wounds the holding calls the 564 00:44:33,840 --> 00:44:42,000 You know the small minute things those things add up, okay? If you keep on getting a holding call, you know every two or three drives 565 00:44:42,560 --> 00:44:46,160 That's going to put you in a bad, you know in a bad position on the field 566 00:44:46,160 --> 00:44:52,720 But if you clean that up and if you try to play a little bit more better football more consistent better football 567 00:44:53,120 --> 00:44:59,040 Well, then guess what you won't have to worry about those things and even now they're still in a really good spot 568 00:44:59,280 --> 00:45:05,040 So you want to try to sneak into the playoffs because right now people are sleeping on you 569 00:45:05,440 --> 00:45:09,920 But guess what I believe in you. Well, I really don't believe in you, but I believe in you 570 00:45:10,560 --> 00:45:12,160 Just a little bit 571 00:45:12,160 --> 00:45:16,720 Not a whole lot though because when we look at this you have to go up against Seattle 572 00:45:17,200 --> 00:45:19,680 New Orleans Minnesota, and then Chicago 573 00:45:20,080 --> 00:45:26,000 Chicago you can most likely you know rest your starters, but the rest of those three games. Oh, no, you're gonna have to fight 574 00:45:26,480 --> 00:45:30,560 You're gonna have to fight for your rights. I know all the chiefs fans are probably saying to 575 00:45:31,920 --> 00:45:35,360 Nobody cares vikings prepare yourself for the playoffs 576 00:45:35,760 --> 00:45:41,280 Okay, because right now you are right under the lines when it comes to playoff seating and whatnot 577 00:45:41,280 --> 00:45:45,440 If I'm not mistaken, I think they have the second seed second or third seed don't 578 00:45:46,160 --> 00:45:49,280 If I got it wrong, you know, don't don't hold into me and whatnot 579 00:45:49,360 --> 00:45:52,560 But when we look at this, you know, you have to go up against Chicago 580 00:45:53,040 --> 00:45:55,680 Then Seattle Green Bay and then Detroit 581 00:45:56,800 --> 00:46:01,760 The last three games. I mean that's pretty brutal just to to end things right. I mean dang 582 00:46:02,960 --> 00:46:08,000 Green Bay and then Detroit to the two games to end the season good. God. Oh my 583 00:46:08,000 --> 00:46:11,520 Whoo, man, man. Oh man, but you know 584 00:46:12,720 --> 00:46:14,880 If you would have told me this Vikings team 585 00:46:15,600 --> 00:46:20,160 Would be in the position that there are right now, especially with Sam Darno. I would have called you a liar 586 00:46:20,720 --> 00:46:25,140 But you know Sam Darno has basically played himself into a new a new contract 587 00:46:25,640 --> 00:46:28,800 most likely 30 to 40 plus million a year and 588 00:46:29,360 --> 00:46:34,160 You know, they could probably be a big problem to other NFC teams 589 00:46:34,160 --> 00:46:40,000 I wouldn't be surprised if the Vikings make it to the Super Bowl this year. I just would not be surprised. Hey, you never know 590 00:46:40,960 --> 00:46:42,960 Vikings and Steelers 591 00:46:42,960 --> 00:46:44,960 Super Bowl who knows? 592 00:46:45,360 --> 00:46:51,280 Bears reset. I understand, you know, you guys have a lot of hype coming into the season 593 00:46:51,520 --> 00:46:58,960 I understand that, you know, the team got you this weapon and that weapon and this person and that person but 594 00:46:58,960 --> 00:47:06,720 You know, I think it's just I think it's just time to just assess where the team is and just realize. Hey 595 00:47:07,760 --> 00:47:12,400 We're not going anywhere. There's no there's no point in us trying to fight to go anywhere 596 00:47:12,960 --> 00:47:15,200 We might as well just want to assess what we have 597 00:47:15,760 --> 00:47:21,040 You know on the team and figure out if we need to make any adjustments and whatnot and if I'm the head coach 598 00:47:21,440 --> 00:47:26,400 This is also important for you as well because hey if you win 599 00:47:26,400 --> 00:47:28,400 In the next four games 600 00:47:29,200 --> 00:47:33,920 You might have a little bit of leverage to say hey, we won the last four games of the season 601 00:47:34,720 --> 00:47:40,080 Keep me on the team. I want to stay here and I want to continue to build with Caleb Williams, right? 602 00:47:40,400 --> 00:47:43,760 compared to just you know getting rid of you and then 603 00:47:44,320 --> 00:47:47,760 You know bringing in somebody else and then messing up that chemistry and whatnot 604 00:47:48,480 --> 00:47:50,720 Now for the NFC south finish strong 605 00:47:50,720 --> 00:47:57,600 If you would have told me that Carolina would would be where they are right now would have called you a liar and for them to 606 00:47:57,760 --> 00:47:59,760 You know turn their season around 607 00:47:59,840 --> 00:48:01,840 especially specifically for 608 00:48:02,400 --> 00:48:04,400 Bryce young I would have called you a liar 609 00:48:04,560 --> 00:48:11,600 I definitely was under the impression that Bryce young was definitely going to get traded by the trade deadline simply because you know 610 00:48:11,600 --> 00:48:17,200 He wasn't playing well then he got benched and whatnot. And so, you know, once that happens, you're probably thinking oh 611 00:48:17,200 --> 00:48:22,400 They're about to move off of him and you know ride with with uh with Andy dawn 612 00:48:22,560 --> 00:48:27,040 But clearly that's not the case and they've showed a little bit of fight and a little bit of grit 613 00:48:27,600 --> 00:48:31,360 And you know, that's something that you can that you can carry on into next season 614 00:48:31,440 --> 00:48:35,440 So, you know, when we look at their their schedule the remaining schedule 615 00:48:36,000 --> 00:48:38,000 Dallas, Arizona 616 00:48:38,080 --> 00:48:40,080 Tampa Bay and then Atlanta 617 00:48:40,640 --> 00:48:44,000 So you end the season with two divisional opponents 618 00:48:44,000 --> 00:48:48,240 Most likely two of those opponents are probably going to make it into the playoffs 619 00:48:49,200 --> 00:48:55,600 So, you know, just try to fight. Maybe you could try to mess up their their odds or their chances of making it into the playoffs 620 00:48:55,680 --> 00:48:56,960 Who knows? 621 00:48:56,960 --> 00:48:58,960 Saints prepare for the offseason 622 00:48:59,440 --> 00:49:02,480 I don't want to go on this on this crazy sold box 623 00:49:02,560 --> 00:49:06,880 But I think it's just time that you acknowledge that you're going to go through a real 624 00:49:07,600 --> 00:49:13,120 Rebuild I think this experiment with Derek Carr has has you know has run its course 625 00:49:13,120 --> 00:49:21,120 And I think it's time for you to go young and cheap at this point because outside of that game against the cowboys 626 00:49:22,000 --> 00:49:26,000 Derek Carr really hasn't been doing a whole lot. I'm I'm sorry 627 00:49:26,560 --> 00:49:28,560 He just has it and you know 628 00:49:28,800 --> 00:49:33,040 With his head coach getting fired and then you have the intern head coach and whatnot 629 00:49:33,600 --> 00:49:37,600 Most likely he's going to get fired as well and then they're going to bring in somebody else and 630 00:49:37,600 --> 00:49:44,160 It it's just going to be a whole lot of change and turnover. So it's just best that you go into a different direction at this point 631 00:49:44,480 --> 00:49:47,280 Now when we look at their schedule, right? They have 632 00:49:48,080 --> 00:49:51,440 Washington Green Bay, Las Vegas, and then Tampa Bay 633 00:49:52,640 --> 00:49:55,040 I don't know if you know 634 00:49:56,160 --> 00:49:59,120 If they're going to try to see they can fight but if I was them 635 00:49:59,920 --> 00:50:02,080 Maybe you could try to see if you can, you know 636 00:50:02,080 --> 00:50:09,520 When maybe one or two games to just to have a little bit of momentum, but at this point just just prepare prepare for the off-season 637 00:50:09,680 --> 00:50:13,200 Okay, you know when you have players like demario davis 638 00:50:13,840 --> 00:50:15,840 and Cameron jordan 639 00:50:16,000 --> 00:50:21,440 I think if I'm the Saints organization, I would release them and not not not for anything bad 640 00:50:21,520 --> 00:50:26,400 But simply because you want to put them in a position where you know, they could possibly compete for a title 641 00:50:26,400 --> 00:50:32,480 You know, I think it would be right for them to do so because they've done so much for this team 642 00:50:32,480 --> 00:50:36,080 They've been with this team through the ups and downs highs and lows 643 00:50:36,720 --> 00:50:41,360 So what better way to you know to help them than to just let them choose 644 00:50:41,840 --> 00:50:45,120 If they want to you know go to a championship team or if they want to retire 645 00:50:45,760 --> 00:50:47,760 Because this team needs to get young 646 00:50:48,080 --> 00:50:51,840 They need to clean up their their books when it comes to the catchphrase and whatnot 647 00:50:51,840 --> 00:50:56,160 And then you start off loading some of these big contracts instead of just 648 00:50:56,640 --> 00:51:02,480 Doing a whole bunch of restructures and pushing money down, you know towards the end of the contract and then before you know it 649 00:51:02,960 --> 00:51:06,880 Now you're you know, you're in the negative and you're trying to figure out exactly how you're going to get 650 00:51:07,280 --> 00:51:12,480 Into the positives so that you can try to you know sign some people and then sign your your draft picks and whatnot 651 00:51:12,720 --> 00:51:19,520 It's a whole bunch of stuff. Just hit the reset button. Please now for the Buccaneers fight for a wild card spot 652 00:51:19,520 --> 00:51:21,360 Okay 653 00:51:21,360 --> 00:51:23,360 You can still make it into the playoffs 654 00:51:23,920 --> 00:51:26,480 You're your neck and neck with the Falcons 655 00:51:27,120 --> 00:51:33,520 But the only way that you can you know that you can separate yourself is if you keep on winning and right now 656 00:51:34,160 --> 00:51:36,160 You have to go against the Chargers 657 00:51:36,720 --> 00:51:42,800 Dallas Carolina and then New Orleans, right? You know that the chargers are going to give you a problem 658 00:51:43,040 --> 00:51:47,360 They are a really good defense as well as a really good offense. Okay, Carolina 659 00:51:47,360 --> 00:51:53,440 They still got some grit with them. Okay, New Orleans run them over. Okay 660 00:51:54,160 --> 00:52:00,400 Go on the ship and say set sail for New Orleans run them over. Okay now for the Falcons 661 00:52:00,960 --> 00:52:05,840 Extend your divisional lead. Okay, because remember there was a point in time where you know 662 00:52:05,840 --> 00:52:12,320 There was a lot of uncertainty with Kirk cousins because Kirk cousins wasn't looking the best and that you know, there was a chance that 663 00:52:12,320 --> 00:52:19,280 You know, Michael pinnings would come in but you know, they have confirmed and basically stood by Kirk cousin side 664 00:52:19,760 --> 00:52:23,520 And will continue to give him a chance. So but when we look at their schedule 665 00:52:24,320 --> 00:52:31,840 Schedule schedule schedule excuse me. They have the the Raiders the Giants Washington and then Carolina 666 00:52:32,560 --> 00:52:37,280 The Giants and the Raiders you can steamroll them simply because they're preparing for the draft 667 00:52:37,760 --> 00:52:41,360 Washington they're going to fight you tooth and nail and on top of that 668 00:52:41,360 --> 00:52:43,600 That's a little bit of a revenge game for Dan Quinn 669 00:52:44,240 --> 00:52:49,440 Uh, Carolina, they have a little bit of grit with them too. So you can't count them out as well. So 670 00:52:50,160 --> 00:52:53,120 You know, there's that now when we look at the NFC West 671 00:52:53,840 --> 00:52:55,440 You want to try to fight? 672 00:52:55,440 --> 00:53:01,360 Okay, and the reason why I say that is because your division is still very competitive. Okay 673 00:53:01,920 --> 00:53:06,800 It's not like you're the lions or the eagles where you just have this large 674 00:53:06,800 --> 00:53:12,800 Marjoram of a Lee against your other divisional rival rivals. It's still fairly close 675 00:53:13,440 --> 00:53:17,600 So, you know, you want to try to extend that as much as you can 676 00:53:18,000 --> 00:53:24,880 You have Green Bay, Minnesota, Chicago, and then the Rams. That's a very tough four game schedule. Okay 677 00:53:25,600 --> 00:53:28,240 Green Bay, they're going to give you problems 678 00:53:28,880 --> 00:53:31,200 Minnesota problems the bears 679 00:53:32,720 --> 00:53:34,240 Hunting 680 00:53:34,240 --> 00:53:37,440 The Rams they're going to give you problems as well. So 681 00:53:38,560 --> 00:53:42,960 You you have to prepare yourself because most likely you're going to be fighting 682 00:53:43,440 --> 00:53:47,040 Okay, because if you give the car knows just a little bit of wiggle room 683 00:53:47,040 --> 00:53:50,160 If you give the Rams just a little bit of wiggle room 684 00:53:50,560 --> 00:53:54,080 They can come come on in take your spot and the next thing you know 685 00:53:54,160 --> 00:54:00,320 You're trying to figure out how you're going to you know, try to fight even a little bit harder to get where you're trying to go because 686 00:54:00,320 --> 00:54:06,800 Again, this team is young fairly inexperienced. The ceiling for them is a little bit lower 687 00:54:07,360 --> 00:54:11,600 Simply because you know, they've had a lot of turnover. They got a new head coach and whatnot 688 00:54:11,760 --> 00:54:17,520 but you know for them to be in the driver's seat of their offseason is great and 689 00:54:18,160 --> 00:54:21,200 You know to me, I feel like they have exceeded expectations 690 00:54:21,520 --> 00:54:24,960 And I feel like you know, this team is going to be a really good team 691 00:54:25,520 --> 00:54:28,240 You know moving forward now for the car knows 692 00:54:28,240 --> 00:54:31,840 Try to win the division and get a wild card spot now 693 00:54:32,560 --> 00:54:37,600 I understand that they lost against the Seahawks and whatnot and and I understand, you know 694 00:54:37,920 --> 00:54:40,080 It puts them back in in a bad position 695 00:54:40,080 --> 00:54:42,800 But you still want to try to fight you don't want to lay down 696 00:54:43,280 --> 00:54:47,600 And just mope and and grop and whatnot. No, you want to fight. Okay 697 00:54:48,560 --> 00:54:51,440 You have new England. That should be a winnable game 698 00:54:51,440 --> 00:54:58,080 Carolina that should be a winnable game in the last two games or your divisional games the Rams in in San Francisco 699 00:54:58,880 --> 00:55:02,400 You have to play those games serious because if you don't 700 00:55:02,880 --> 00:55:10,240 The Rams can go over top of you the 49ers could try to sneak their way in into the wild card. Who knows, right? 701 00:55:10,640 --> 00:55:17,680 Those Cardinals are still a really good team. They still have a lot of good pieces. They can do it. They just have to be 702 00:55:18,240 --> 00:55:19,760 better, okay 703 00:55:19,760 --> 00:55:25,520 Collin Murray has to be better when it comes to his throws his play calling and everything, okay? 704 00:55:25,680 --> 00:55:33,040 Because once he starts throwing interceptions, you can physically see that he's just like mentally checked out or whatever 705 00:55:33,680 --> 00:55:35,680 Now for the final team 706 00:55:35,920 --> 00:55:37,920 49ers. Yes 707 00:55:38,000 --> 00:55:40,000 49ers 708 00:55:41,360 --> 00:55:45,120 Oh 49ers 49ers 49ers. Oh the faithful 709 00:55:45,120 --> 00:55:50,800 Hit the reset button and offload large contracts. Okay, and the reason why I say that is because 710 00:55:52,000 --> 00:55:54,640 Your team has gotten old and expensive 711 00:55:55,200 --> 00:55:59,600 You haven't really been hitting on your draft picks, especially in your first round, you know draft picks 712 00:55:59,920 --> 00:56:05,280 So it's time for you to offload some of those contracts and to prepare yourself 713 00:56:05,920 --> 00:56:07,440 you know 714 00:56:07,440 --> 00:56:10,080 Possibly for the end of your Super Bowl run 715 00:56:10,080 --> 00:56:16,000 I understand it was a great run. I understand that you know, you have multiple chances and you wasn't able to get them 716 00:56:16,720 --> 00:56:20,400 Now some of that could be blamed on certain people who will remain anonymous 717 00:56:20,480 --> 00:56:26,000 But the fact of the matter is this was a failed experiment and now it is time for you to get young 718 00:56:26,560 --> 00:56:27,840 and cheap 719 00:56:27,840 --> 00:56:31,360 Not to mention you have to prepare yourself for paying Brock Purdy, which 720 00:56:31,840 --> 00:56:37,840 Be possibly in the in the ballpark of 50 plus million a year. So you have to figure out what what you're going to do 721 00:56:37,840 --> 00:56:41,280 Um, if it was me personally, javon hardgrave 722 00:56:41,840 --> 00:56:48,640 If he doesn't want to do restructure got to go debo Samuel got to go George Kittle figure out what you're going to do with him other 723 00:56:48,960 --> 00:56:54,320 Uh, if it was me personally, maybe give him an extension maybe and then just figure out exactly 724 00:56:54,800 --> 00:56:57,840 What positions do you want to address now if it was me personally? 725 00:56:58,320 --> 00:57:03,680 I feel like they do need to address offensive line now. Am I saying they need to address it in the first round? No 726 00:57:03,680 --> 00:57:10,320 But at some point they they do need to address offensive line because it is now bite them in the butt 727 00:57:10,960 --> 00:57:17,840 Okay, do I think you know depending on how they do things in the off season that they could possibly make maybe one more run? 728 00:57:18,480 --> 00:57:22,960 Yes, but at the same time when you look at their division the Rams 729 00:57:23,520 --> 00:57:25,040 Have gotten a 730 00:57:25,040 --> 00:57:30,880 Tremendously better. Okay, the seahawks have gotten tremendously better and they're young 731 00:57:30,880 --> 00:57:34,560 Okay, the Cardinals are the same thing as well 732 00:57:34,960 --> 00:57:40,240 So you have passed the time where you could have steamrolled these these teams now 733 00:57:40,800 --> 00:57:45,040 Now these teams, you know, they they got some weapons with them and now they can fight back 734 00:57:45,680 --> 00:57:50,720 And so now you have to figure out exactly what can you do to make yourself stand out? 735 00:57:51,120 --> 00:57:56,320 Not only against your divisional opponents, but against any and every opponent that you have to face come next year 736 00:57:56,320 --> 00:58:01,920 If I'm Kyle Shanahan, maybe you have to figure out what you have to do with your personnel because you know 737 00:58:02,400 --> 00:58:05,200 There was a point in time where Kyle Shanahan's play calling 738 00:58:05,600 --> 00:58:09,040 You know, you were trying to figure out. Oh, what is it? How they do this? How they do that? 739 00:58:09,120 --> 00:58:11,120 And it was like somewhat of a secret 740 00:58:11,520 --> 00:58:16,640 But now that half of his you know personnel are either head coaches offensive coordinators or 741 00:58:17,120 --> 00:58:19,120 You know assistants or other teams 742 00:58:19,120 --> 00:58:23,680 Everybody now sort of knows a little bit of the playbook of the Kyle Shanahan offense 743 00:58:23,680 --> 00:58:29,280 And now defenses have been able to catch up and to scheme against it a lot better 744 00:58:29,520 --> 00:58:34,320 So when it in this episode here, oh my god an hour and three minutes. Whoo 745 00:58:35,280 --> 00:58:40,640 Man, man. Oh man. Oh man. This was a loaded episode. But yeah, I'm gonna end this right here 746 00:58:40,880 --> 00:58:44,400 There's nothing else I need to talk about because everything else is related to the offseason 747 00:58:44,400 --> 00:58:49,600 But if you guys like what you are listening, please, please, please, please, please leave a five star review 748 00:58:49,600 --> 00:58:56,880 On on anywhere that you listen the football junkies podcast where there be rss feed apple podcast spotify 749 00:58:56,960 --> 00:59:04,480 You name it.
