Good Morning Football.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
We are not mistaken. We know the eight teams playing
this weekend. You also see it clearly. Max Crosby is
at the table today. This is Good Morning Football, everybody.
We are presented by old Trapper Beef Dricky live in
LA and New York. Of course, it's the Friday before

Speaker 4 (00:40):
I'm jamieurtell what's up? Max? Welcome inside.
Speaker 5 (00:43):
Absolutely, I appreciate it.
Speaker 3 (00:44):
It's an houda to be here one hour down of
live television.
Speaker 4 (00:47):
How do you feel feel great?
Speaker 6 (00:48):
I feel great. The suit's feeling good. Shout out to
everybody that's involved. You know, I'm feeling comfortable. I'm ready

Speaker 7 (00:57):
We start off the show with some football questions, and
hour number two we ask you about Ukraine, we ask
about vaccines, we ask about public So just so just
get ready. We're about to just now we're hitting the
hard stuff, so just get ready.
Speaker 4 (01:09):
Oh no, no, yeah exactly.
Speaker 3 (01:11):
He's like, can I go back to talking about my
head coach, the potential.
Speaker 8 (01:14):
We forget the inauguration that's coming up, But what's our
bottom line.
Speaker 4 (01:19):
Let's rock. Let's move on, lead block and time for
the first down.
Speaker 3 (01:24):
Lamar Jackson has never played in weather less than twenty
degrees before. Listen to what he had to say about
playing in the cold this weekend.
Speaker 4 (01:33):
It's part of three now.
Speaker 9 (01:34):
Yeah, man, I'm trying to win, so it really don't matter.
I can't go into a game and be like missed
too cool. I can't make things happen. You know, Coach,
you don't probably send me home. Them would be probably
trying to come, you know, have me go up there
upstairs and talk to him and stuff. So I got
to lock in the cold.
Speaker 8 (01:48):
You don't two gloves under any circums. No.
Speaker 9 (01:52):
I tried it in practice.
Speaker 8 (01:52):
I was horrible.
Speaker 9 (01:53):
Lead that up to Teddy to glove, Teddy Bridgewater to gloves.
Speaker 3 (01:57):
Shout out, gloves, shout out Teddy bridge Router, two gloves, Peter,
you gotta start. Does this cold weather and the home
field advantage for the Buffalo Bills? Does that give them
a distinct advantage?
Speaker 7 (02:07):
I can't hold the cold weather against Lamar If he
hasn't played in the cold weather yet, we have to
see him before we immediately say he can't throw in
the cold weather. Let's see, he's never done it in
a game under twenty degrees. One guy I know who
always shows up in cold weather is named Derrick Henry.
This guy is one of the best big game December
January running backs in the history of the NFL.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
And you're like Dereck Henry. He plays in Nashville.
Speaker 7 (02:30):
Now look at this most rushing yards outdoors in December
or later in NFL history, including the playoffs, he's third
all time. And you think about the playoff run he
had with those Titans in twenty nineteen.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
He carried that team on his back. He was King Henry.
Speaker 7 (02:45):
And he did so in games that were, of course
played in cold weather, especially one that was in New
England here where this team eliminated Tom Brady from contention,
and then the following week they went up into Baltimore
and beat those guys, and then they almost beat the
Chiefs in cold weather.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
So Derek Henry brings it.
Speaker 7 (03:04):
He no fears about Lamar Jackson being scared of the cold.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
He plays in Baltimore, folks.
Speaker 7 (03:10):
He doesn't play in Abu Dabi or Las Vegas or
in a place where the weather is always warm. He
plays in Baltimore, and he played outdoors in Tennessee.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
Get out of here. I'm good.
Speaker 8 (03:19):
We'll have an NFL game in Abudabi for long run.
That's happening. Let's go, let's do it. Listen, we as
a show Max, we always we kind of roll our
eyes a little bit about weather talk, and a lot
of times it's about the Dolphins. But we have our
tongue in cheek. We don't know if it's a fan thing,
immedia thing, or a player thing. We do know that
the Ravens linebacker Rokwan Smith was asked about it this
week and he's told, you know, people care about this stuff,
(03:41):
Roquan quote, nobody cares about any of that stuff. It's
about playing ball. It can be on a cement track,
it can be whatever.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
I don't care.
Speaker 8 (03:47):
If it's negative, we're ready. We're going to be ready.
And trust me, the cold will not be a factor.
Believe that. I wonder if that is kind of manufactured.
I know this. I'm going to go back to this point.
If it's cold, I don't care where they play it.
John Harbaugh has won more road playoff games than any
head coach in NFL history. Understand THATFL history, John Harbaugh has.
He has got on a plane, gone to the hotel
(04:08):
in the colt. When you're looking down at Landry and
a modern legend like Kaughlin and even Reid and McCarthy, Harbaugh, Harbaugh, Harbaugh,
there's one eight of them. He's not afraid of cold.
I don't think any of them players are. This is
not the Dolphins, This is not the Jaguars. This the
Baltimore Ravens. As Peter's point, it's like it's this is
not They're not from Brazil, They're from a very coldland.
(04:29):
They're crimate as well. Max, Is this stuff ridiculous or
like you guys really talk about cold and you think
it could affect Lamar, Because, to be honest, sent us
straight if it could.
Speaker 6 (04:37):
I feel like if you're talking about it, you're already
a step behind. You know, at the end of the day,
you got four hours, three and a half, four hours
you're gonna be out there on the field. And it's
really a mindset. Like we went played in Pittsburgh in
December a few years ago, and it was like negative
seventeen Winshill. I just remember in my head all week,
I'm like, I've never played in a game that cold
in my life. And I was like, four hours, that's
all that matters.
Speaker 5 (04:57):
You know what I mean.
Speaker 6 (04:57):
Once, No, but my hands and arms might have been
numb for about a quarter. But at the end of
the day, it's you have to go out there and perform.
That's your job and you got to do it at
the highest level. There's no excuse. So yeah, if you're
thinking about the cold all week, I feel like you're
already worried about the wrong thing. You got to treat
it like a regular game.
Speaker 10 (05:12):
See, that's why you have that Mamba mentality. I love
that type of mentality. That's the type of mentality you
have to have. And Kyle, you said it right, like
they both live on the East Coast. And forgive me,
I'm from California. I don't live on the East Coast.
But you start talking about thirty and twenty degrees, all
that sounds negative to me. So it's all negative degrees.
And you think about Lamar Jackson playing out on the
(05:33):
East Coast.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
Of course he can do this. And I take you
back to the Division Round last.
Speaker 10 (05:38):
Year, where he had one hundred yards rushing, he had
four touchdowns one hundred and fifty two yards passing. Like
he bawled out in this game. Four touchdowns by Lamar Jackson.
So I don't think this is an advantage. The one
thing I know for sure is that this team, whoever's
going to win this game, is going to have the
best running game. And the best running game in this
game is the Baltimore Ravens. They've got Lamar Jackson who
(06:00):
can run. They've got Derrick Henry, they run that re option,
the Steelers with that readoption game. And let's not forget
about Patrick Riccard who's just sitting back there. If they
want to run ISO straight at you, the dude's six
feet three hundred pounds, Like, that's not fair.
Speaker 8 (06:14):
That's an extra.
Speaker 10 (06:15):
Offensive lineman that's coming from distance and slamming right down
on you. So I'm going this is not an advantage
for the Bills. In fact, it's it's probably scary the
fact that it's gonna be coding. They're probably not gonna
be throwing a lot, they're gonna be running it every
single time.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
We love pat Riccard on the show, so shout out
pat Riccards.
Speaker 4 (06:31):
Second down.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
Now, rookie Jayden Daniels is looking for his second playoff
win already in his short career in the NFL with
the Commanders.
Speaker 4 (06:41):
Peter, you've said it, the fact that this commander's team.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
Has already gone on the road in one one. Now
they got to go to Detroit. They don't know what's up,
what's down. They just go in and beat teams. Peter,
what would a win in Detroit mean for the Washington Commanders.
Speaker 7 (06:53):
Look, Jayden Daniels has now six wins this season, including
a playoff game where his team wins in the final
seconds or in overtime in a walk off, and I
don't think they're scared at all to go into Detroit.
I'm gonna flip this on its head, though, because Washington's
an amazing Cinderella feel good story and we could all
rally around what Jayden's doing in his rookie year. If
Detroit were to lose in a divisional round, I am
(07:15):
of good knowledge that Aaron Glenn and Ben Johnson are
likely gone. Those guys are both taking jobs as head coaches,
and just so quickly how this thing could be like.
Speaker 8 (07:24):
Wait, a second.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
We never got to a Super Bowl.
Speaker 6 (07:27):
We have it.
Speaker 7 (07:29):
These guys all came back, We retained everybody. Last year
we had this sonic and knuckles thing like. I think
it would be one of the ultimate disappointments in football
in recent memory. If the one seeded Lions, who had
that huge win against the Vikings to ensure that they
were in home field guys, and then get an upset
team in here and not the division winning Buccaneers.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
For them to lose. I think Glenn's gone.
Speaker 7 (07:51):
I would think the Saints of the Jets is the
next destination unless Dallas.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
Shakes that tree.
Speaker 7 (07:56):
And I also think Ben Johnson is gone. I think
Ben Johnson's head it to either Vegas or Chicago, and
it's going to be a head coach and you have
that brain drain all of a sudden, that window which
seems forever and everything's great.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
Well, if those two guys.
Speaker 7 (08:08):
Are gone, are the Lions even the same team next year?
I think a loss to the Washington Commanders would be
massive and it might be catastrophic for the Lions because
it would mean that this amazing two year, three year
run that they've had it might be winding down.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
If those two guys leave the building.
Speaker 6 (08:24):
Yeah, yeah, I agree. I think you have some great
points there. You see how Detroit's been playing, as you
know recent everyone talked about, you know, all these injuries,
and I think they had sixteen guys on I all
ir team, Yeah, literally all eye our team. We were
similar with the Raiders this year, but there was a
major difference. They won fifteen games in a number one
seas So that's a credit to the culture they built,
(08:46):
the players that they have, and the coaches that they have,
So it starts from top to bottom. And I think
they've done an incredible job. So, like you said, you've
seen what Jane Daniels has done all year. This Washington
you know story has been crazy how fast they've turned
it around. I think it would be catastrophic for the
Lions in a few ways because there are going to
be changes. I think everyone kind of knows that. But
don't sleep on Jaye Daniels. That kid is is so
(09:08):
commodom under pressure. People were talking about him coming to
us last year. I wouldn't have been mad about that.
I wouldn't have been mad at all. But he's just
school and collected, and he's so talented. And if you're
gonna man up against Washington with those those that type
of you know, speed and talent out there, and a
quarterback like Jane Daniels, who the Lions have struggled against
duel threat guys, I think he can he can really
(09:29):
go in there and shock the world. I'm not going
to say, you know, that's not my prediction, but I
think it could possibly happen.
Speaker 10 (09:35):
Surprise, Yeah, it's I wouldn't be surprised either because of
what Jaydon Daniels has shown, especially some of his heroic
last minute efforts to win games.
Speaker 8 (09:45):
But it is.
Speaker 10 (09:46):
It's going to be a bad deal for the Detroit Lions,
and it takes them back to last year in the
NFC Championship losing to the San Francisco forty nine ers.
They had at seventeen point lead and it was it
was heartbreaking because the entire everybody felt deplated.
Speaker 8 (10:02):
I felt bad.
Speaker 10 (10:02):
I felt bad for Eminem too, seeing them watch his
team go down like that. And since then, they've gone
fifteen and two. They've just gone on this tear and
they've gone, you know what, We'll never let this happen
to us again the way it happened in losing this
game being up, so it would be hard to see
them give up at this point in the divisional round
against the Jayde and Daniels. But what we've seen though
(10:24):
from the young guy and what you talked about, Max,
which is very scary. There's no like remember when Caleb
Williams during hard knocks like oh, I don't get nervous,
I don't get scared of it, like I didn't.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
Turn out that way.
Speaker 10 (10:36):
But for Jayden Daniels, when you just see him so calm,
no matter what the situation is, let's go fourth and four,
fourth and two, let's go, Oh, we didn't convert, let's
come back to it. He has the same expression. Just
go back and study his expression. Don't even watch tape,
just watch his face. It's the same every time. He's
either smiling or he's just like, yeah, un cool, we
got it, We're good.
Speaker 4 (10:54):
Max.
Speaker 3 (10:54):
Do you think the Lions they have to actively work
to keep this noise outside their building right now? Because
it feels like the way this conversation is going, the
pressure's mounting on the Lions. Catch lightning in a bottle
right now with the personnel and the coaches that they have.
If you were in that Lion's locker room. How would
you handle a rookie quarterback coming in one that just
went on the road, didn't turn the ball over, didn't
punt offensively. What would you be talking about if you
(11:16):
were on the line defense.
Speaker 6 (11:18):
Yeah, you know this this defense is you know, obviously
decimated with some injuries, but getting guys like Azeloni back
has been incredible.
Speaker 5 (11:25):
You've seen what he did last last week.
Speaker 6 (11:27):
He's flying around making plays and Meek Robertson stepping up,
you know, one of my one of my good friends
with great teammate. He goes toe to toe with Justin
Jefferson and makes plays. That's really what it comes down to.
It's really the turnover battle. If they can get a
turnover too against the Commanders, yeah, I could see the
Lions going and rolling, But if the Commanders can take
care of the ball, you know, especially with the rookie quarterback,
(11:47):
I'd be impressive, but I wouldn't be surprised. So it's
going to be it's gonna be quite the challenge. But
when you have a quarterback that can do that much
on the field, it's every single play you gotta be
on point.
Speaker 8 (11:58):
My memories of Bett Niners lost the dock by reference
was afterwards, Dan Campbell, which is heart broken you just said. Listen,
I told the guys it's hard to get here, may
not get back here. It's that difficult the year after year.
And maybe he's right. And maybe when he said i'll
see Kevin O'Connell a couple weeks, maybe he's right too.
Maybe you'll se him intulom if they lose this weekend.
But listen, the story of this game, if they lose,
should be and hopefully will be. It's about Jaydon Daniels.
(12:18):
It's stratosphere stuff. Now. Now you're winning two road playoff
games as a rookie. That's not done. It's not something
that happens. It's not even a Mahomes thing. It's not
even a CJ. Strauthing. We're way past that. This is
making history. This is gonna be like, I'm ready to
be next as the face of the NFL, never mind
the face of the Commanders. If he wins this game
and most two road playoff wins and beats the one seed,
(12:41):
he's on the one dollar bill. It's just I can't
you cannot stress how big and how huge this would
be for him if he plays well, it's not supposed
to happen. Guys, it should not. I'm not saying it
will not, but it absolutely should not. By every metric
we measure the game and study the history. He should
not win this game if he does stratosphere stuff. It's
Jaydon Daniels and then the NFL. That's it.
Speaker 3 (13:00):
Seven or eight weeks into the season. The La Rams
shouldn't have been here as well. Time for our third down,
it's Rams Eagles Sunday at the link. The snow is
in the forecast in Philadelphia. But Peter, if you're the
Rams and you're playing with house money, you've already won
a game in the Wildcard.
Speaker 4 (13:14):
Now you've got to go to Philadelphia.
Speaker 3 (13:16):
What's at sake if you're in charge of this Eagles
team playing host to the LA Rams.
Speaker 7 (13:20):
Yeah, it's funny because we think of it on the
outside like house money. McVeigh looks at it as like, no,
we think we're going to the super Bowl. And that's
what he's convinced. These young guys, and the fact that
they didn't play their starters in Week eighteen when they
played the Seahawks in a game that would have given
in the three seed had they won, and they said,
we're fine playing the four seat because we're gonna have
to play these teams anyway. That's their mentality. Yet, if
(13:41):
I'm the Eagles, I have to look at this as
we are home there on a short week, and we
have all reasons in the world to take care of
business the weather, the Elements.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
Look, Stafford is eighteen.
Speaker 7 (13:54):
And three in December and January as a quarterback of
the La Rams. He's never won an outdoor, cold weather
road game with those guys. You also look at the
fact that Stafford outdoors in the snow as much as
he played in Detroit doesn't have a great record in
those games either. I think if you the Eagles, there's
all this pressure because of what we didn't do with
(14:15):
Saquon in the final week of the season, But they
have a distinct home field advantage and you've got a
team that might be emotionally spent from.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
That Monday night game. Eagles.
Speaker 7 (14:23):
A loss here would be catastrophic considering that the Rams
are coming in off of what they just had to
go through the past two weeks with the LA Fires,
with the playing in Arizona, and now in a short
week going into your building.
Speaker 8 (14:34):
It sounds like there's already an excuse built in for
the Rams should they choose to use it. You know
what that says to me. Here's how much pressure the
Rams are facing this weekend. Zero zero pressure going to
Philadelphia and losing. If they lose, no big deal. Watch
out though, because this, by far to me, of all
the games, is going to be the chippiest, is going
to be the after the play freakest type things. I mean, listen,
(14:54):
I don't know if you saw this Jared Verse thing.
It's an incredible thing, Jared Verse, this incredible young pass
Sam Farmer, our guy, Sam Farmer, La Times. Jared Verse
from Pennsylvania says, quote, I hate Eagles fans. They're so annoying.
I hate Eagles fans. When I see that green and white,
I hate it. I actually get upset, like I actually
(15:17):
genuinely get hot. So Eagles fans that is catnip. That's
just they're just gonna be all over them, leaning over
every single second the players are gonna be. This game
is big time chippiness, and I think that. Listen, the Rams, Fine,
let's go, let's just absolutely empty the bag. Let's fight,
let's do anything we can. If you beat us, we'll
go home. But if we beat you, this one has huge,
(15:38):
huge stakes. Can you imagine being Nick Serian if you
lose this game or Jalen Hurts or any of those guys.
This is all pressure on Philadelphia and I don't know
if their head coach is ready for that pressure. Is
that an insult? Probably? But Eagles fans should be ready
and social Jared Verse, what do you.
Speaker 4 (15:53):
Think, Max?
Speaker 6 (15:53):
I mean, this is a tough game for me. I
feel like we talked about in the break. I think,
you know, people really aren't talking about this game enough.
Just seeing what the Rams did against Minnesota, I don't
think anybody saw that coming. Nine sacks on defense, Matthew
Stafford doing what he does, playing his best football in
big games. But Philadelphia has been incredible all all year.
Speaker 5 (16:13):
For me, I'm a I'm a D lineman, you know.
Speaker 6 (16:16):
I look at the trenches, their O line and D line,
and they got all pros and Pro Bowlers on both sides.
So I think it's gonna really be a big challenge
for them. You've seen what Sae Kwon did to him
last time they played. I think he ran for two
fifty or something. If the Rams don't stop the run early,
they're gonna have some big struggles. But the Rams know
how to cause turnovers, and Matthew Stafford is as clutch
as they come. So I think this is going to
(16:36):
be a really good game.
Speaker 4 (16:37):
I think it's be closer than what people playing your position.
How annoying is the toush push the touch bush.
Speaker 6 (16:42):
It's currently annoying. You see, you can't stop it. I
mean you really can't stop it. My third year in
the league, the Eagles weren't running the toush bush at
the time, and they were at the goal line. We
were beating them at home, and I went Troy Polamalu
and jumped over and got Jalen Hurts.
Speaker 4 (16:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (16:58):
And I have not seen them running QB sneak since then,
so I'm not trying to top myself on the back.
I think I I created the We're gonna get out.
I think they run it ever since. But it's unbelievable
how how they run it. Even you know, people talk
(17:19):
about Jason Kelsey doing it. He's gone and it still
works o that that that plays the cheek.
Speaker 10 (17:23):
Ode Max went over the top and then they get
Max production out of that push.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
You can't get rid of it.
Speaker 10 (17:30):
You know, I'll tell you what's a stake though, this
this window for the Philadelphia Eagles. You know, you think
back seven of the last eight years, you know, them
being in the playoffs. You think about the two Super
Bowl appearances, you think about the one super Bowl win
like you don't in football in general, it's hard. It's
hard to have that type of window for that long.
(17:50):
And the Philadelphia Eagles have consistently found themselves in this position.
I think this could be their last bite at the apple.
If they don't get past this game, they have to
win this game. It's that much pressure for the Philadelphia Eagles.
I can't and people think, oh no, come on, that
type of you're going on now. I mean there's history
that shows, like you know, when it closes, it closes,
and then sometimes you don't get it back for another
(18:11):
decade or so. Saquon Barkley, you think you're gonna get
the same exact production out of Saquon Barkley, like they
ran this dude over three hundred and fifty something times.
Don't waste Saquon Barkley, because that's the other thing is
saying that you've wasted his best season ever, his best
season ever, and it's for you guys. So if you
know that you're going all in. I think that when
(18:33):
I look at this team, I look at Nick Sirianni,
and I look at the way he's coaching these guys,
they get over the hump. He understands what's at pressure
because that pressure point, all those things wasting, Saquon not
taking advantage of this window for eight years, that's I mean,
you kept it open for a long time. I think
people also start to start talking, they start chirping, and
we know we've seen that chirp. They're very volatile group.
(18:53):
They can go. And when I'm talking about the group,
I'm talking about those Philly fans. The noise goes up
and down, up and down, and I think the noise
get louder if they don't win this game.
Speaker 4 (19:01):
There are a lot of layers to this game.
Speaker 3 (19:03):
The Jared verse, I hate Eagles fans despite being a
native of Bloomsburg, Pennsylvania. You got the fact that Saquon
ran all over him. At so far, we have the
originator of the toush push at the table. This is incredible.
Rams at Eagles we're gonna find that play Ian Rappaport.
Speaker 4 (19:18):
That was our three and out. Get in here now
with the news.
Speaker 3 (19:21):
What are we looking at when it comes to any
of these games this weekend, Well, we'll start.
Speaker 2 (19:25):
With the Washington Commanders.
Speaker 11 (19:26):
You guys were talking about the potential of a commander's upset.
Gets a little easier, I would say, considering Bobby Wagner
missed a couple of days this week with an ankle injury.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
Full go off the injury report.
Speaker 11 (19:37):
He will play, and I think it's you can't overstate
how important he has been to this depth. I'm not
just talking about leadership. I'm talking about playmaking. One of
the better players on the field is good to go
this weekend, no issues there. And of course, let's talk
about the Dallas Cowboys head coach de Search No, not
the unstanded, not talking about him, not right now. Let's
talk about Kellen Moore, the offensive coordinator for.
Speaker 2 (19:59):
The Philadelphia Eagles.
Speaker 11 (20:00):
Than someone that I would considered to be a top
candidate for the Cowboys position. They requested the interview with
him last. Among the ones they've requested also have Robert
Saala alside Leslie Fraser, in part because They know him
so well.
Speaker 10 (20:13):
He was a player there, he grew.
Speaker 2 (20:14):
Up as an assistant.
Speaker 11 (20:15):
They've seen him as an offensive coordinator. They know what
kind of a leader and what kind of a coordinator
Kellen Moore can be.
Speaker 2 (20:21):
They expect to interview him imminily.
Speaker 11 (20:24):
Ryan Floores, the Minnesota Vikings defensive coordinator. He has a
very full dance card. I would say for the next
couple of days, interviews with the New York Jets and
Jacksonville Jaguars today and then as the Chicago Bears on Saturday.
And it seems for the first time in really a
couple of years Floors it's considered to be a pretty
hot head coaching candidate. I would consider him to get
(20:46):
real looks at all.
Speaker 8 (20:48):
Of those places.
Speaker 11 (20:49):
And then the announcement from this morning. Earlier this morning,
some more news in the NFL international world. The Miami
Dolphins are headed to Madrid.
Speaker 2 (20:59):
We've seen a.
Speaker 11 (20:59):
Couple international announcement over the past couple of weeks. As
they have been dead, we've learned who the home teams
are going to be, the designated team. The latest today,
the Miami Dolphins are going to the first ever regular
season game.
Speaker 3 (21:14):
That's really cool news with Miami Dolphins. He had no
cold weather talk and to a tungue of Iloa questions
when it comes to that matchup. We can't wait for
a schedule release to find out what team will be
going with the Dolphins to play their first ever game.
We love making history like that raps sheet, thanks to
talk to you a little bit. Coming up, we have
eight teams remaining. Who will have the cape wearing through
the sky super hero performance this weekend for his team?
(21:39):
We make our picks super eight Kyle coming up.
Speaker 8 (21:42):
Yeah, I'm going to compare one of the quarterbacks this
weekend to a New York City fat from years ago
that Peter's gonna love. Plus Derek Henry, is this the
huge playoff game? Lastly? Actually we came almost two hundred yards?
Is this one even bigger? Or does it get stopped? Peter?
Speaker 2 (21:57):
Why are you comparing Jared Goff to a cronut?
Speaker 8 (22:00):
You'll find out it's kinda like this. You will find out.
Peter still standing in line at Maglia for those upcakes,
Playoff Talk, Ladies and Sunday and more.
Speaker 12 (22:08):
Max Crosby the Chronic What cool than Naunia?
Speaker 2 (22:21):
Good morning Football?
Speaker 3 (22:24):
I feel like I need superhero music under this Welcome
back to you MP. We're heading into the divisional weekend.
There are eight playoff teams remaining. It's the great eight.
We have superhero talk right now on our show. Who
will be yes this superhero put on the cape fly
through this guy for their team in the divisional round
this weekend.
Speaker 4 (22:41):
Peter Europe First.
Speaker 7 (22:43):
You know there's a young cat in this league with
a seventh round pick who saves his best for the
games that matter most. And this guy is a household name,
but you haven't heard much of them this season. Guess
what after twenty four days of rest, that engine is
ready to go. Isaiah Putshako, It's my superhero for this weekend.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
Isaiah puts Shake is my guy.
Speaker 7 (23:06):
Pachaco has historic numbers in the playoffs. This is just
his third NFL season, but take a look at the
list that he joins of running backs with most consecutive
playoff games with seventy five strimmage yards or more Franco,
Terrell Davis, Emmitt Smith, and Patcheko to know this stack, guys.
(23:29):
Isaiah Pacheco is the only running back in NFL history
to start two Super Bowls in his first two years
as a pro and to win them both. He knows
nothing different than winning playoff games. Has never lost a
playoff game and has never had a playoff game with
less than seventy five strimmage yard. They were going to
Kareem Hunt at points this season. They were going to
(23:51):
Carson Steele at points this season.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
We saw a lot of Samaje Pirn.
Speaker 7 (23:55):
It is time for Pachaco come up. He saves his
best for last and oh baby, he is healthy.
Speaker 2 (24:02):
The Isaiah Pacheco game. You talked a bunch.
Speaker 7 (24:05):
Of oc bar about what Will Anderson's gonna do, and
Daniel Hunter and Tim Settle just get ready for Isaiah
Pacheco to make his will felt AFC West rival of
my man, Max Crosby. He knows all about what Isaiah
Pacheco can do when that matters most in the games.
Speaker 5 (24:21):
I don't know if that was a slight shot, Peter,
but it's no. Are you moving?
Speaker 8 (24:26):
You get that man? Come on?
Speaker 5 (24:27):
No, never, never, I got thick skin.
Speaker 6 (24:30):
But anyway, at the end of the day, you know
we've talked about him before. You know, I've mentioned him
a couple of times. You know we talked about you know,
how how rabid. Some of these fan bases are. When
you talk about the rumors, all these things going around,
there might be more rumors because I'm picking Josh Allen again.
Speaker 5 (24:45):
Yeah, and you know, I know, go.
Speaker 6 (24:47):
On, you know as much, you know, as much as
they upset me at the time, I really thought they
were gonna drove me coming out in twenty nineteen, and
they did it. But this man, Josh Allen, they dropped
the right guy when it came to quarterback. He's unbelievable
and like I talked about earlier, I think he's going
to have a legendary performance on his feet and he's
a problem all across the board, So I think he's
(25:07):
gonna go out there and put the.
Speaker 5 (25:08):
Team on his back.
Speaker 3 (25:09):
You like to feed the beast smacks. You just are
leaning into. You are speaking directly to the fan bases
that are talking to you back, and you're going with
Josh Allen. You continue to say that he will have
a superhero performance this weekend.
Speaker 6 (25:20):
Yeah, I love I love watching Josh Allen play as
much as uh, you know, he's had some success you know,
in our in our matchups, it's all respect at the
end of the day.
Speaker 10 (25:28):
Cool, I respect you putting your chests out there like that.
Man you're putting You're putting an S on your chest
right now. Man, you're going you're going all in for
for him. I disagree. I love Lamar Jackson. So it's
gonna be a fun one to watch. My superhero. My
superhero has to be Trent McDuffie. I'm going back to
the Kennas City Chiefs and I'm going defense. He's gonna
be like Miles Morales, the Black Spider Man. He's very sticky,
(25:51):
he's got great adaptability. You can find him on the
outside playing corner, you can find him playing nickel. He's
so versatile, and I think it's going to be very,
very disruptive for for CJ. Stroud in the Houston Texans.
And I think the biggest reason, like you think him
matched up on Nico Collins. You think about this last game.
He had an interception at picking this game, but he
was giving Nico Collins fifth. That's their star instead of
(26:13):
wide receiver. Remember they don't have Stefan Diggs, they don't
have Tank Dell. They're going to be forced to try
to find other wide receivers to be very productive in
this game because Trent mc duffy. He's going to lock
down their number one wide receiver in Nico Collins. So
that's gonna be my superhero. Look for Spiderweb to be
all over the place in that backfield.
Speaker 3 (26:34):
I go to the number one seed in the NFC.
You know in superhero films, when you got three guys
that line up and they just are standing and they're
ready to go to fight. You're like, I feel pretty
good about those guys. But then when the fourth guy
shows up and you're like, oh, look out, now they
have a squad. Guys, David Montgomery is back, and I'm
not thinking that David Montgomery is going to run for
(26:54):
one hundred and fifty.
Speaker 4 (26:55):
Yards this weekend.
Speaker 3 (26:56):
I'm talking about the kind of superhero that provides an
emotional lift, that provides a goal line punch that brings
back Sonic and knuckles the way.
Speaker 4 (27:04):
That the Lions run game deserves.
Speaker 3 (27:06):
The Lions were the first ever in NFL history had
four guys, two running backs, and two wide receivers that
all went for over a thousand yards in the line
of scrimmage in the regular season. This is a four
fingered punch. You put your thumb inside your fist and
you just start swinging. Okay, I just did it myself
and everybody's laughing at me.
Speaker 4 (27:23):
That's what it looks like. David Montgomery. I don't think
he's going to do.
Speaker 3 (27:26):
A lot, but the fact that he's on the field
is going to mean something for this Lions offense.
Speaker 4 (27:30):
That's my superhero going to do the weekend Cole.
Speaker 8 (27:33):
He's incredibly cool and incredibly tough, and I love that
he's back out there. My superhero is Jaydon Daniels. I
can't make it any clear. Just run the graphic, put
him in a cape, let's go. I am reaching the
point with Jayde Daniels. It's just what more can we
do to hype him out? How incredible he's been. I'm
getting sick of comparing them to other rookie seasons. I'm
tired of comparing them to CJ. Stroup. I'm tired of
Camery comparing into rookies past and Dan Marino and Lawrence Taylor.
(27:55):
I'm tired. If he wins this game and he goes
to Detroit, he is going to supersede rookies in the NFL.
He may even supersede rookies in sports. So I've done
the work, and I've got some other rookies or debut
seasons that I'm going to compare him to if he
beats Detroit this weekend. First one, bring it up, Peter,
You're gonna love this. Nineteen eighty five. That's Boris Becker.
He won Wimbledon at seventeen years old. Jaden is entering
(28:18):
his class.
Speaker 3 (28:19):
Next.
Speaker 8 (28:21):
Nineteen seventy nine. Nineteen eighty Magic Johnson. He took a
beleaguered Lakers team to the finals, who became the only
rookie ever win finals. MVP played center and then adiens rights.
Speaker 2 (28:29):
What's up?
Speaker 8 (28:29):
Michael Cooper entering his class? Next, let's go to Seattle.
Each ye row oh one, Rookie the Year, Silver Slugger,
Gold Glove, MVP, only rookie ever. Jaden is entering his class.
I'm tired of sports even. That's Jim Carrey nineteen eighty four,
with some water skis On's bitten. No, this is post
one Bitton. What's bitten was his minor work. This is
(28:50):
his coming out year ninety four. He's got the mask,
He's got dumb dummer, He's got a spentura. Jaden is
entering his class. I want to see a legend, Jayden.
That's Alan Rickman in his first major motion picture ever.
He never was in a movie before. He played Hans
Gruben was thereatest film of all time nineteen eighty eight.
Jaydan is in his class. You know Smith lost first
season two thousand and four, jj Abrams Polar Bears the numbers,
(29:14):
HUGO four eight, twenty three two. Jayden is entering his class.
I'm gonna go to rare air now twenty thirteen. Peter
the cronut picks over the air, Heady take it? What
am I talking about?
Speaker 2 (29:24):
I'm gonna can't sell the baker. He was right there
on Spring Street in their line was.
Speaker 8 (29:29):
Five hundred deep every morning to have one of these
croissant donut concoction. You know what, walk so the crow
nut could run. Jayden's entering the first rookie season of
something called Sliced Bread nineteen twenty eight. That guy right there,
that's basically the iPhone that's artificial in touns. She's like,
I'm gonna cut this bread. Jaden Daniels is having a
Slice Bread type season. You want to know A crazy
(29:51):
rookie debut eighteen eleven. Jane Austin drops sense and sensibility
out of the gates like it's nothing. There were no cameras,
so we have a picture of Kate Winslet in a movie.
Two hundred years later, Jaden Daniels is doing Jane Austen things,
slicing bread. He's Hans Gruber, He's a Spenta, He's Boris Becker.
You beat Detroit this weekend. That is the rare area
(30:12):
you're in. We're going back to a man taking a
knife and cutting the bread this way, and people were like, what,
that's Shane Dennis. They wins in the tries to bread.
Nice bath and bread.
Speaker 2 (30:23):
Hey, what kind of bread was it?
Speaker 8 (30:24):
Was that sour dough. I'm just just curious.
Speaker 4 (30:26):
It was more about.
Speaker 3 (30:29):
Night that Jayden Daniels is going to have to be
gotten through that lion's defense.
Speaker 8 (30:32):
Let's go, what's up, everybody.
Speaker 5 (30:35):
It's Manti to Oh.
Speaker 13 (30:36):
I am home in Let at the Polynesian Culture Center,
which also happens to be the home of the Polynesian
Football Hall of Fame. Tune in this Friday, four pm
Local times, six pm Pacific time for the All Star Game.
We're so looking forward to showcasing all of these young
athletes and the Polynesian culture.
Speaker 8 (30:54):
Good morning football. I love you.
Speaker 5 (30:56):
I'll see you.
Speaker 4 (30:56):
In La Manti, we love you. One of the most
humble teammates we can have.
Speaker 3 (30:59):
He could have done that stand up promoting the game
that he is on tonight on NFL Network in front
of his.
Speaker 4 (31:04):
Own Hall of Fame jersey and the Polydesia Bowl. He
did not do that.
Speaker 3 (31:07):
More names will go down in history tonight. Cherry Burris
on NFL Network. We love Mantai and we can't wait
to watch Absolutely.
Speaker 14 (31:13):
And Jamie, how do we figure out to get on
an assignment that we also get to go to Hawaii?
Speaker 3 (31:17):
Great question share a week, So maybe we need to
talk to Mandy Manti.
Speaker 14 (31:20):
Yes, all right. The Lions, they find themselves in a
coveted position as the top seed in the NFC. They
are no longer the hunter, but instead the hunted. Dan
Campbell says, though his team is ready for it.
Speaker 15 (31:33):
We know we're going to get everybody's best shot. We
know that every week, and it doesn't matter if it's
who we've played, what week it is. And our guys
understand that. And I think the most important thing is
it doesn't matter where you're at, where you're seeded, how
many wins you have, You've got to stay hungry, and
our team's hungry.
Speaker 8 (31:53):
Well.
Speaker 14 (31:53):
In the AFC, it's a battle of the top two
MVP candidates, Lamar Jackson and josh Allen Jackson just one
in three as a starter in the Visional round or later,
but as linebacker Ropepon Smith will the insiders he has
all the faith in the world and his quarterback.
Speaker 16 (32:08):
I got a great deal of respect for Lamar who
he is as a person and as a player as well.
And the type of stuff that he's doing this year
is like mom boggling, just like watching him. How he
can beat you from the pocket, beat you from his
legt I've never seen it done before. I've played against
a lot of quarterbacks in this league, and what he's doing,
no other quarterback is doing. And it's not me just talking.
(32:30):
If anybody watches tape, they can see it as well.
So I'm very excited that he's on my team, and
I'm very excited for him to show the world with
everyone watching on Sunday, exactly who he is and what
type of player he is from the first snap to
the last nap. So get your popcorn ready say less.
Speaker 4 (32:46):
Ro Quan, we got it right here. More game that
be coming your way.
Speaker 14 (32:49):
Max Cosby's still here with us. I'm gonna finish his
pop Crunch, Share the World, Sherry.
Speaker 4 (32:53):
Bring it over here.
Speaker 3 (33:05):
Mon.
Speaker 8 (33:09):
Cars.
Speaker 9 (33:09):
You watch the movie Cars a little bit too, watched Cars.
Speaker 8 (33:12):
But anyways, I.
Speaker 9 (33:16):
Was a kid when I watched Cars, That's all I'm saying.
You know when when Lighting McQueen just flying flashed past,
and then it's like, that's how Derek look he was
running past and all those guys just it looked.
Speaker 8 (33:28):
It looks like a movie. Bro.
Speaker 9 (33:29):
I'm not gonna lie to you, but I'd rather be
watching it than being on the opposide of ball.
Speaker 8 (33:36):
I absolutely love that clip and Lamar talking about Derreck
Henry and he opened the door, So I'm going down.
I'm gonna go deep dive on. Let's come join me.
Lamar says he watched it as a kid. I watched
it with kids many, many times. And you start to
see it a little differently, and you start to have
some takes about I even met Lighting McQueen.
Speaker 2 (33:53):
Was like great, hang, great, hang. He makes sure you're comfortable.
Speaker 8 (33:57):
Make sure we were right there in Radiator Springs, Peter.
I absolutely loved it, but I do see what Lamar
is talking about as King Henry as Lightning McQueen, he's fast,
he's very likable, he's successful, he's wealthy, he gets angry
in the right kind of spots. I just have some questions, though,
Is Lightning McQueen really a big game car.
Speaker 4 (34:14):
Talk about it?
Speaker 2 (34:15):
Does McQueen really have the clutch gene?
Speaker 8 (34:18):
Is he really the goat of anthropomorphic vehicles?
Speaker 2 (34:22):
Let's skin into McQueen.
Speaker 8 (34:23):
A little bit. If we're gonna pair Derek Henrick to McQueen.
He learns to be a great teammate, of course, but
we never really see him win a big race. Let's
get into it. In Cars one, he ties a race
because of arrogance, and then he loses a race due
to selflessness. Still no dub Cars two does not exist,
and if it did, it would be the worst thing
(34:43):
Picks are ever created.
Speaker 2 (34:45):
Cars three race Cars two just a race.
Speaker 8 (34:47):
McQueen can't keep up with the next gen racers. Jackson's
Storm Armie Hammer. McQueen has a massive wreck and Act
one and then he realizes in the third acts with
Bob Costas on the call as Bob Cutlass that young
Cruz Ramirez is actually faster than him and bold than him,
and McQueen steps aside, can't finish the race, doesn't have it.
(35:09):
I know we're told if you go to his wiki,
that he's seven time Piston Cup champ, but we never
see it. What we see is that McQueen can't finish,
or chooses not to. He taps out. Then I look
at the Buffalo Bills now, I look at the Buffalo
Bills through Lamar's lens of radiator springs, and I see
(35:29):
Western New York as the carburetor county of the NFL.
The Bills are a team comprised largely of some spare parts,
some parts that have some rust on them.
Speaker 2 (35:40):
Some you don't really know if they're gonna work or not.
Speaker 8 (35:42):
But they do. My take is that the Buffalo Bills
are toe materer. They are toe majer. Real ones know
the heart of the franchise. This guy the moral compass
of the films. And I'll tell you why would you
like to see who leads the Buffalo Bills in touchdown
receptions this year? Touchdown receptions for Josh Allen's a pretty big deal.
It's this man boom that man who is a gunner
(36:05):
on the punt team? Is they're leading touchdown receiver? Has
that ever happened before? You think maybe the same team,
maybe Steve Tasker. No, Steve Tasker not even close to
leaving the Bills and touchdown receptions. Matt Collins, does you
want another spare part quote unquote? How about this hero
from the wildcard round talking about the running back on
fourth down? Here? Not James Cook, not Ray Davis, the
RB three Ty Johnson touchdown. Do you know that Tdy
(36:29):
Johnson is a running back over the season averages better
than fifteen yards per catch as a running back, and
that no running back has done that since the eighties.
The Bills have pieces of Ramon and Flow and Fillmore
and Sarge. But the Bills, my friends, are mad. And
you might say, all right, hold on, hold on a second,
(36:50):
hold on, How are you gonna say an engine like
Josh Allen is part of a broken down hunka junk
like toe Mater. Because you've got to come deeper with me,
and you guys know what I'm talking about. Those who
are in the Cars Expanded Universe, the real Car's heads
embrace Mater's tall Tales Mini stories and know that Mater
glows up. Mater's got wings. This is Mader the Greater,
(37:13):
the Daredevil. He's a monster truck, He's a private eye,
he has all kinds of powers. It's the kind of
leader that you can rally around.
Speaker 2 (37:22):
Bad Gum.
Speaker 8 (37:23):
This is who they're rolling with. It's Mader in the
Tall Tales. Now, it's gonna be really hard for the
Bills this weekend because John Harbaugh, classic, Doc Hudson in there,
Classic Paul Newman, and no coach in history has won
more road playoff games than the Harbaugh Hornet. He's won
eight of them. But no team has won more home
games than the Bills this year. They've won nine of them.
(37:45):
And Lamar Jackson has never thrown a touchdown in a
road playoff game in his career. Josh Allen this weekend,
he needs to be fast, he needs to be tough
because this will be one of the most challenging races
of his life. And life is a highway and they're
gonna I had seventeen all night long, Bill's thirty, Ravens
(38:09):
twenty nine, instant Classic.
Speaker 2 (38:12):
Give the MVP to both of them.
Speaker 8 (38:15):
If I'm lying, I'm crying. Thank you to everybody, Incarborator
Crowne and Radiator Springs. I love you, the founding mother
and the father and great people. Max Criesby get in here.
Speaker 6 (38:25):
Yeah, that was incredible. That was incredible. I mean, how
do I follow that up? You're I think you're right though.
I think at the end of the day, it's going
to come down to the MVP race that everyone knows about.
And you know, I've had my Josh Allen talk today,
but I think he pulls it out. He has a
legendary performance. It doesn't mean Lamar is going to have
a bad performance, but I think Josh Allen and my god,
(38:46):
Mac Collins. I love that you mentioned MATC Collins. Former
team Eli Lyne, me and him used to be like this,
who's going to be the hardest worker in the weight
room And it was a battle every single day. So
that dude is going to make a big play as well.
So I'm looking forward to it.
Speaker 3 (38:59):
I like the metamorphosis that Josh Allen has had to
go through as a quarterback, Kyle. I like the fact
that he is four different maj cars. I believe that
you were able to tee up there. The fact that
he is a shape shifter. He does what it takes
to get the job done. I won't make my prediction,
but I appreciate the work that you just put in.
Speaker 10 (39:16):
Wow, I'm still if you ain't lying you crying. I
might have to say you might be crying on this one.
But thirty twenty nine, that was a great way that
you threaded that whole universe together. That was a masterpiece,
Kyle An absolute masters season.
Speaker 7 (39:31):
There's a scene in the first Car, so I'm going
a titular film Cars, where they're on the giant two
decker thing and the driver falls asleep at the wheel
and then all of a sudden lightning McQueen has to
navigate himself on the highway and he wakes up and
he's like where am I?
Speaker 2 (39:48):
And it's this really dramatic scene.
Speaker 7 (39:50):
I say all this to say that you better be
ready to go from kickoff both of these teams. This
cannot be one of those deals where our team falls
asleep early, because the other team will get out early
and they will.
Speaker 2 (39:59):
Take care of business. You took the bills.
Speaker 7 (40:02):
I could see it, I could taste it, I could
do it. I'm not making a pick, but I also
say this, I will not be picking against Lamar Jackson
in this game.
Speaker 8 (40:09):
Nice Peter, of course, referencing the voice of that truck,
the iconic John Ratzenberg and all the every Pixar film.
Don't fall asleep like him.
Speaker 3 (40:17):
Guys, we've talked a lot of movies today on GMFB Superheroes. Well,
we think we have unearthed the origin story of the
tush push. Max Crosby on the show with Us today
for a couple of hours hanging around. Max Crosby seems
to think that when he stuffed Jalen Hurts at the
goal line in a Raiders Eagles game from Week seven
of twenty twenty one, that that is the last time
(40:39):
the Eagles tried to rush a quarterback over the top.
Speaker 4 (40:42):
Guys, we have to play.
Speaker 3 (40:42):
We always get there.
Speaker 4 (40:45):
It is stopped. Max talk to us.
Speaker 6 (40:48):
Yeah, you know, in the situation, I like diving over
the pile. But as you can see, you know, Troy
Palamolo big inspiration from me, and yeah, I had to
get him down. So I think this was the moment
that the tush push was invented, because clearly, as you
can see, that was not effective.
Speaker 4 (41:03):
Not effective beating the field. You beat the Eagles at
day thirty three, twenty two. That's a good feeling. It's
good highlight for you.
Speaker 6 (41:09):
Great one, great one. Got to go toe to toe
Lane Johnson. We both gained a lot of mutual respect
for each other that day. So yeah, it was a big.
Speaker 5 (41:16):
One for us.
Speaker 8 (41:17):
Guys.
Speaker 4 (41:17):
Your thoughts in New York?
Speaker 8 (41:18):
Quick?
Speaker 2 (41:18):
Can I just say answer you rap?
Speaker 7 (41:19):
Like Max, You're the best guests we've ever had in studio.
Speaker 8 (41:21):
You are backable today.

May good time.
Speaker 5 (41:30):
Man, Man, you got it.
Speaker 2 (41:32):
Yeah, appreciate it, man, great job.
Speaker 8 (41:34):
I got a final prediction.
Speaker 10 (41:35):
I've got the Baltimore Ravens winning this game thirty five,
twenty four because Lamar Jackson really he's the superhero. He
is the black Panther. He's got by brain him in
his blood. That's why he wears purple in Destructive.
Speaker 4 (41:48):
There you go, we're previewing those games.
Speaker 3 (41:49):

Kyle Brent, Max Crosby.
Speaker 4 (00:40):
I'm jamieurtell what's up? Max? Welcome inside.
Speaker 5 (00:43):
Absolutely, I appreciate it.
Speaker 3 (00:44):
It's an houda to be here one hour down of
live television.
Speaker 4 (00:47):
How do you feel feel great?
Speaker 6 (00:48):
I feel great. The suit's feeling good. Shout out to
everybody that's involved. You know, I'm feeling comfortable. I'm ready

Speaker 2 (00:56):

Speaker 7 (00:57):
We start off the show with some football questions, and
hour number two we ask you about Ukraine, we ask
about vaccines, we ask about public So just so just
get ready. We're about to just now we're hitting the
hard stuff, so just get ready.
Speaker 4 (01:09):
Oh no, no, yeah exactly.
Speaker 3 (01:11):
He's like, can I go back to talking about my
head coach, the potential.
Speaker 8 (01:14):
We forget the inauguration that's coming up, But what's our
bottom line.
Speaker 4 (01:19):
Let's rock. Let's move on, lead block and time for
the first down.
Speaker 3 (01:24):
Lamar Jackson has never played in weather less than twenty
degrees before. Listen to what he had to say about
playing in the cold this weekend.
Speaker 4 (01:33):
It's part of three now.
Speaker 9 (01:34):
Yeah, man, I'm trying to win, so it really don't matter.
I can't go into a game and be like missed
too cool. I can't make things happen. You know, Coach,
you don't probably send me home. Them would be probably
trying to come, you know, have me go up there
upstairs and talk to him and stuff. So I got
to lock in the cold.
Speaker 8 (01:48):
You don't two gloves under any circums. No.
Speaker 9 (01:52):
I tried it in practice.
Speaker 8 (01:52):
I was horrible.
Speaker 9 (01:53):
Lead that up to Teddy to glove, Teddy Bridgewater to gloves.
Speaker 3 (01:57):
Shout out, gloves, shout out Teddy bridge Router, two gloves, Peter,
you gotta start. Does this cold weather and the home
field advantage for the Buffalo Bills? Does that give them
a distinct advantage?
Speaker 7 (02:07):
I can't hold the cold weather against Lamar If he
hasn't played in the cold weather yet, we have to
see him before we immediately say he can't throw in
the cold weather. Let's see, he's never done it in
a game under twenty degrees. One guy I know who
always shows up in cold weather is named Derrick Henry.
This guy is one of the best big game December
January running backs in the history of the NFL.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
And you're like Dereck Henry. He plays in Nashville.
Speaker 7 (02:30):
Now look at this most rushing yards outdoors in December
or later in NFL history, including the playoffs, he's third
all time. And you think about the playoff run he
had with those Titans in twenty nineteen.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
He carried that team on his back. He was King Henry.
Speaker 7 (02:45):
And he did so in games that were, of course
played in cold weather, especially one that was in New
England here where this team eliminated Tom Brady from contention,
and then the following week they went up into Baltimore
and beat those guys, and then they almost beat the
Chiefs in cold weather.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
So Derek Henry brings it.
Speaker 7 (03:04):
He no fears about Lamar Jackson being scared of the cold.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
He plays in Baltimore, folks.
Speaker 7 (03:10):
He doesn't play in Abu Dabi or Las Vegas or
in a place where the weather is always warm. He
plays in Baltimore, and he played outdoors in Tennessee.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
Get out of here. I'm good.
Speaker 8 (03:19):
We'll have an NFL game in Abudabi for long run.
That's happening. Let's go, let's do it. Listen, we as
a show Max, we always we kind of roll our
eyes a little bit about weather talk, and a lot
of times it's about the Dolphins. But we have our
tongue in cheek. We don't know if it's a fan thing,
immedia thing, or a player thing. We do know that
the Ravens linebacker Rokwan Smith was asked about it this
week and he's told, you know, people care about this stuff,
(03:41):
Roquan quote, nobody cares about any of that stuff. It's
about playing ball. It can be on a cement track,
it can be whatever.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
I don't care.
Speaker 8 (03:47):
If it's negative, we're ready. We're going to be ready.
And trust me, the cold will not be a factor.
Believe that. I wonder if that is kind of manufactured.
I know this. I'm going to go back to this point.
If it's cold, I don't care where they play it.
John Harbaugh has won more road playoff games than any
head coach in NFL history. Understand THATFL history, John Harbaugh has.
He has got on a plane, gone to the hotel
(04:08):
in the colt. When you're looking down at Landry and
a modern legend like Kaughlin and even Reid and McCarthy, Harbaugh, Harbaugh, Harbaugh,
there's one eight of them. He's not afraid of cold.
I don't think any of them players are. This is
not the Dolphins, This is not the Jaguars. This the
Baltimore Ravens. As Peter's point, it's like it's this is
not They're not from Brazil, They're from a very coldland.
(04:29):
They're crimate as well. Max, Is this stuff ridiculous or
like you guys really talk about cold and you think
it could affect Lamar, Because, to be honest, sent us
straight if it could.
Speaker 6 (04:37):
I feel like if you're talking about it, you're already
a step behind. You know, at the end of the day,
you got four hours, three and a half, four hours
you're gonna be out there on the field. And it's
really a mindset. Like we went played in Pittsburgh in
December a few years ago, and it was like negative
seventeen Winshill. I just remember in my head all week,
I'm like, I've never played in a game that cold
in my life. And I was like, four hours, that's
all that matters.
Speaker 5 (04:57):
You know what I mean.
Speaker 6 (04:57):
Once, No, but my hands and arms might have been
numb for about a quarter. But at the end of
the day, it's you have to go out there and perform.
That's your job and you got to do it at
the highest level. There's no excuse. So yeah, if you're
thinking about the cold all week, I feel like you're
already worried about the wrong thing. You got to treat
it like a regular game.
Speaker 10 (05:12):
See, that's why you have that Mamba mentality. I love
that type of mentality. That's the type of mentality you
have to have. And Kyle, you said it right, like
they both live on the East Coast. And forgive me,
I'm from California. I don't live on the East Coast.
But you start talking about thirty and twenty degrees, all
that sounds negative to me. So it's all negative degrees.
And you think about Lamar Jackson playing out on the
(05:33):
East Coast.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
Of course he can do this. And I take you
back to the Division Round last.
Speaker 10 (05:38):
Year, where he had one hundred yards rushing, he had
four touchdowns one hundred and fifty two yards passing. Like
he bawled out in this game. Four touchdowns by Lamar Jackson.
So I don't think this is an advantage. The one
thing I know for sure is that this team, whoever's
going to win this game, is going to have the
best running game. And the best running game in this
game is the Baltimore Ravens. They've got Lamar Jackson who
(06:00):
can run. They've got Derrick Henry, they run that re option,
the Steelers with that readoption game. And let's not forget
about Patrick Riccard who's just sitting back there. If they
want to run ISO straight at you, the dude's six
feet three hundred pounds, Like, that's not fair.
Speaker 8 (06:14):
That's an extra.
Speaker 10 (06:15):
Offensive lineman that's coming from distance and slamming right down
on you. So I'm going this is not an advantage
for the Bills. In fact, it's it's probably scary the
fact that it's gonna be coding. They're probably not gonna
be throwing a lot, they're gonna be running it every
single time.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
We love pat Riccard on the show, so shout out
pat Riccards.
Speaker 4 (06:31):
Second down.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
Now, rookie Jayden Daniels is looking for his second playoff
win already in his short career in the NFL with
the Commanders.
Speaker 4 (06:41):
Peter, you've said it, the fact that this commander's team.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
Has already gone on the road in one one. Now
they got to go to Detroit. They don't know what's up,
what's down. They just go in and beat teams. Peter,
what would a win in Detroit mean for the Washington Commanders.
Speaker 7 (06:53):
Look, Jayden Daniels has now six wins this season, including
a playoff game where his team wins in the final
seconds or in overtime in a walk off, and I
don't think they're scared at all to go into Detroit.
I'm gonna flip this on its head, though, because Washington's
an amazing Cinderella feel good story and we could all
rally around what Jayden's doing in his rookie year. If
Detroit were to lose in a divisional round, I am
(07:15):
of good knowledge that Aaron Glenn and Ben Johnson are
likely gone. Those guys are both taking jobs as head coaches,
and just so quickly how this thing could be like.
Speaker 8 (07:24):
Wait, a second.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
We never got to a Super Bowl.
Speaker 6 (07:27):
We have it.
Speaker 7 (07:29):
These guys all came back, We retained everybody. Last year
we had this sonic and knuckles thing like. I think
it would be one of the ultimate disappointments in football
in recent memory. If the one seeded Lions, who had
that huge win against the Vikings to ensure that they
were in home field guys, and then get an upset
team in here and not the division winning Buccaneers.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
For them to lose. I think Glenn's gone.
Speaker 7 (07:51):
I would think the Saints of the Jets is the
next destination unless Dallas.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
Shakes that tree.
Speaker 7 (07:56):
And I also think Ben Johnson is gone. I think
Ben Johnson's head it to either Vegas or Chicago, and
it's going to be a head coach and you have
that brain drain all of a sudden, that window which
seems forever and everything's great.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
Well, if those two guys.
Speaker 7 (08:08):
Are gone, are the Lions even the same team next year?
I think a loss to the Washington Commanders would be
massive and it might be catastrophic for the Lions because
it would mean that this amazing two year, three year
run that they've had it might be winding down.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
If those two guys leave the building.
Speaker 6 (08:24):
Yeah, yeah, I agree. I think you have some great
points there. You see how Detroit's been playing, as you
know recent everyone talked about, you know, all these injuries,
and I think they had sixteen guys on I all
ir team, Yeah, literally all eye our team. We were
similar with the Raiders this year, but there was a
major difference. They won fifteen games in a number one
seas So that's a credit to the culture they built,
(08:46):
the players that they have, and the coaches that they have,
So it starts from top to bottom. And I think
they've done an incredible job. So, like you said, you've
seen what Jane Daniels has done all year. This Washington
you know story has been crazy how fast they've turned
it around. I think it would be catastrophic for the
Lions in a few ways because there are going to
be changes. I think everyone kind of knows that. But
don't sleep on Jaye Daniels. That kid is is so
(09:08):
commodom under pressure. People were talking about him coming to
us last year. I wouldn't have been mad about that.
I wouldn't have been mad at all. But he's just
school and collected, and he's so talented. And if you're
gonna man up against Washington with those those that type
of you know, speed and talent out there, and a
quarterback like Jane Daniels, who the Lions have struggled against
duel threat guys, I think he can he can really
(09:29):
go in there and shock the world. I'm not going
to say, you know, that's not my prediction, but I
think it could possibly happen.
Speaker 10 (09:35):
Surprise, Yeah, it's I wouldn't be surprised either because of
what Jaydon Daniels has shown, especially some of his heroic
last minute efforts to win games.
Speaker 8 (09:45):
But it is.
Speaker 10 (09:46):
It's going to be a bad deal for the Detroit Lions,
and it takes them back to last year in the
NFC Championship losing to the San Francisco forty nine ers.
They had at seventeen point lead and it was it
was heartbreaking because the entire everybody felt deplated.
Speaker 8 (10:02):
I felt bad.
Speaker 10 (10:02):
I felt bad for Eminem too, seeing them watch his
team go down like that. And since then, they've gone
fifteen and two. They've just gone on this tear and
they've gone, you know what, We'll never let this happen
to us again the way it happened in losing this
game being up, so it would be hard to see
them give up at this point in the divisional round
against the Jayde and Daniels. But what we've seen though
(10:24):
from the young guy and what you talked about, Max,
which is very scary. There's no like remember when Caleb
Williams during hard knocks like oh, I don't get nervous,
I don't get scared of it, like I didn't.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
Turn out that way.
Speaker 10 (10:36):
But for Jayden Daniels, when you just see him so calm,
no matter what the situation is, let's go fourth and four,
fourth and two, let's go, Oh, we didn't convert, let's
come back to it. He has the same expression. Just
go back and study his expression. Don't even watch tape,
just watch his face. It's the same every time. He's
either smiling or he's just like, yeah, un cool, we
got it, We're good.
Speaker 4 (10:54):
Max.
Speaker 3 (10:54):
Do you think the Lions they have to actively work
to keep this noise outside their building right now? Because
it feels like the way this conversation is going, the
pressure's mounting on the Lions. Catch lightning in a bottle
right now with the personnel and the coaches that they have.
If you were in that Lion's locker room. How would
you handle a rookie quarterback coming in one that just
went on the road, didn't turn the ball over, didn't
punt offensively. What would you be talking about if you
(11:16):
were on the line defense.
Speaker 6 (11:18):
Yeah, you know this this defense is you know, obviously
decimated with some injuries, but getting guys like Azeloni back
has been incredible.
Speaker 5 (11:25):
You've seen what he did last last week.
Speaker 6 (11:27):
He's flying around making plays and Meek Robertson stepping up,
you know, one of my one of my good friends
with great teammate. He goes toe to toe with Justin
Jefferson and makes plays. That's really what it comes down to.
It's really the turnover battle. If they can get a
turnover too against the Commanders, yeah, I could see the
Lions going and rolling, But if the Commanders can take
care of the ball, you know, especially with the rookie quarterback,
(11:47):
I'd be impressive, but I wouldn't be surprised. So it's
going to be it's gonna be quite the challenge. But
when you have a quarterback that can do that much
on the field, it's every single play you gotta be
on point.
Speaker 8 (11:58):
My memories of Bett Niners lost the dock by reference
was afterwards, Dan Campbell, which is heart broken you just said. Listen,
I told the guys it's hard to get here, may
not get back here. It's that difficult the year after year.
And maybe he's right. And maybe when he said i'll
see Kevin O'Connell a couple weeks, maybe he's right too.
Maybe you'll se him intulom if they lose this weekend.
But listen, the story of this game, if they lose,
should be and hopefully will be. It's about Jaydon Daniels.
(12:18):
It's stratosphere stuff. Now. Now you're winning two road playoff
games as a rookie. That's not done. It's not something
that happens. It's not even a Mahomes thing. It's not
even a CJ. Strauthing. We're way past that. This is
making history. This is gonna be like, I'm ready to
be next as the face of the NFL, never mind
the face of the Commanders. If he wins this game
and most two road playoff wins and beats the one seed,
(12:41):
he's on the one dollar bill. It's just I can't
you cannot stress how big and how huge this would
be for him if he plays well, it's not supposed
to happen. Guys, it should not. I'm not saying it
will not, but it absolutely should not. By every metric
we measure the game and study the history. He should
not win this game if he does stratosphere stuff. It's
Jaydon Daniels and then the NFL. That's it.
Speaker 3 (13:00):
Seven or eight weeks into the season. The La Rams
shouldn't have been here as well. Time for our third down,
it's Rams Eagles Sunday at the link. The snow is
in the forecast in Philadelphia. But Peter, if you're the
Rams and you're playing with house money, you've already won
a game in the Wildcard.
Speaker 4 (13:14):
Now you've got to go to Philadelphia.
Speaker 3 (13:16):
What's at sake if you're in charge of this Eagles
team playing host to the LA Rams.
Speaker 7 (13:20):
Yeah, it's funny because we think of it on the
outside like house money. McVeigh looks at it as like, no,
we think we're going to the super Bowl. And that's
what he's convinced. These young guys, and the fact that
they didn't play their starters in Week eighteen when they
played the Seahawks in a game that would have given
in the three seed had they won, and they said,
we're fine playing the four seat because we're gonna have
to play these teams anyway. That's their mentality. Yet, if
(13:41):
I'm the Eagles, I have to look at this as
we are home there on a short week, and we
have all reasons in the world to take care of
business the weather, the Elements.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
Look, Stafford is eighteen.
Speaker 7 (13:54):
And three in December and January as a quarterback of
the La Rams. He's never won an outdoor, cold weather
road game with those guys. You also look at the
fact that Stafford outdoors in the snow as much as
he played in Detroit doesn't have a great record in
those games either. I think if you the Eagles, there's
all this pressure because of what we didn't do with
(14:15):
Saquon in the final week of the season, But they
have a distinct home field advantage and you've got a
team that might be emotionally spent from.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
That Monday night game. Eagles.
Speaker 7 (14:23):
A loss here would be catastrophic considering that the Rams
are coming in off of what they just had to
go through the past two weeks with the LA Fires,
with the playing in Arizona, and now in a short
week going into your building.
Speaker 8 (14:34):
It sounds like there's already an excuse built in for
the Rams should they choose to use it. You know
what that says to me. Here's how much pressure the
Rams are facing this weekend. Zero zero pressure going to
Philadelphia and losing. If they lose, no big deal. Watch
out though, because this, by far to me, of all
the games, is going to be the chippiest, is going
to be the after the play freakest type things. I mean, listen,
(14:54):
I don't know if you saw this Jared Verse thing.
It's an incredible thing, Jared Verse, this incredible young pass
Sam Farmer, our guy, Sam Farmer, La Times. Jared Verse
from Pennsylvania says, quote, I hate Eagles fans. They're so annoying.
I hate Eagles fans. When I see that green and white,
I hate it. I actually get upset, like I actually
(15:17):
genuinely get hot. So Eagles fans that is catnip. That's
just they're just gonna be all over them, leaning over
every single second the players are gonna be. This game
is big time chippiness, and I think that. Listen, the Rams, Fine,
let's go, let's just absolutely empty the bag. Let's fight,
let's do anything we can. If you beat us, we'll
go home. But if we beat you, this one has huge,
(15:38):
huge stakes. Can you imagine being Nick Serian if you
lose this game or Jalen Hurts or any of those guys.
This is all pressure on Philadelphia and I don't know
if their head coach is ready for that pressure. Is
that an insult? Probably? But Eagles fans should be ready
and social Jared Verse, what do you.
Speaker 4 (15:53):
Think, Max?
Speaker 6 (15:53):
I mean, this is a tough game for me. I
feel like we talked about in the break. I think,
you know, people really aren't talking about this game enough.
Just seeing what the Rams did against Minnesota, I don't
think anybody saw that coming. Nine sacks on defense, Matthew
Stafford doing what he does, playing his best football in
big games. But Philadelphia has been incredible all all year.
Speaker 5 (16:13):
For me, I'm a I'm a D lineman, you know.
Speaker 6 (16:16):
I look at the trenches, their O line and D line,
and they got all pros and Pro Bowlers on both sides.
So I think it's gonna really be a big challenge
for them. You've seen what Sae Kwon did to him
last time they played. I think he ran for two
fifty or something. If the Rams don't stop the run early,
they're gonna have some big struggles. But the Rams know
how to cause turnovers, and Matthew Stafford is as clutch
as they come. So I think this is going to
(16:36):
be a really good game.
Speaker 4 (16:37):
I think it's be closer than what people playing your position.
How annoying is the toush push the touch bush.
Speaker 6 (16:42):
It's currently annoying. You see, you can't stop it. I
mean you really can't stop it. My third year in
the league, the Eagles weren't running the toush bush at
the time, and they were at the goal line. We
were beating them at home, and I went Troy Polamalu
and jumped over and got Jalen Hurts.
Speaker 4 (16:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (16:58):
And I have not seen them running QB sneak since then,
so I'm not trying to top myself on the back.
I think I I created the We're gonna get out.
I think they run it ever since. But it's unbelievable
how how they run it. Even you know, people talk
(17:19):
about Jason Kelsey doing it. He's gone and it still
works o that that that plays the cheek.
Speaker 10 (17:23):
Ode Max went over the top and then they get
Max production out of that push.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
You can't get rid of it.
Speaker 10 (17:30):
You know, I'll tell you what's a stake though, this
this window for the Philadelphia Eagles. You know, you think
back seven of the last eight years, you know, them
being in the playoffs. You think about the two Super
Bowl appearances, you think about the one super Bowl win
like you don't in football in general, it's hard. It's
hard to have that type of window for that long.
(17:50):
And the Philadelphia Eagles have consistently found themselves in this position.
I think this could be their last bite at the apple.
If they don't get past this game, they have to
win this game. It's that much pressure for the Philadelphia Eagles.
I can't and people think, oh no, come on, that
type of you're going on now. I mean there's history
that shows, like you know, when it closes, it closes,
and then sometimes you don't get it back for another
(18:11):
decade or so. Saquon Barkley, you think you're gonna get
the same exact production out of Saquon Barkley, like they
ran this dude over three hundred and fifty something times.
Don't waste Saquon Barkley, because that's the other thing is
saying that you've wasted his best season ever, his best
season ever, and it's for you guys. So if you
know that you're going all in. I think that when
(18:33):
I look at this team, I look at Nick Sirianni,
and I look at the way he's coaching these guys,
they get over the hump. He understands what's at pressure
because that pressure point, all those things wasting, Saquon not
taking advantage of this window for eight years, that's I mean,
you kept it open for a long time. I think
people also start to start talking, they start chirping, and
we know we've seen that chirp. They're very volatile group.
(18:53):
They can go. And when I'm talking about the group,
I'm talking about those Philly fans. The noise goes up
and down, up and down, and I think the noise
get louder if they don't win this game.
Speaker 4 (19:01):
There are a lot of layers to this game.
Speaker 3 (19:03):
The Jared verse, I hate Eagles fans despite being a
native of Bloomsburg, Pennsylvania. You got the fact that Saquon
ran all over him. At so far, we have the
originator of the toush push at the table. This is incredible.
Rams at Eagles we're gonna find that play Ian Rappaport.
Speaker 4 (19:18):
That was our three and out. Get in here now
with the news.
Speaker 3 (19:21):
What are we looking at when it comes to any
of these games this weekend, Well, we'll start.
Speaker 2 (19:25):
With the Washington Commanders.
Speaker 11 (19:26):
You guys were talking about the potential of a commander's upset.
Gets a little easier, I would say, considering Bobby Wagner
missed a couple of days this week with an ankle injury.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
Full go off the injury report.
Speaker 11 (19:37):
He will play, and I think it's you can't overstate
how important he has been to this depth. I'm not
just talking about leadership. I'm talking about playmaking. One of
the better players on the field is good to go
this weekend, no issues there. And of course, let's talk
about the Dallas Cowboys head coach de Search No, not
the unstanded, not talking about him, not right now. Let's
talk about Kellen Moore, the offensive coordinator for.
Speaker 2 (19:59):
The Philadelphia Eagles.
Speaker 11 (20:00):
Than someone that I would considered to be a top
candidate for the Cowboys position. They requested the interview with
him last. Among the ones they've requested also have Robert
Saala alside Leslie Fraser, in part because They know him
so well.
Speaker 10 (20:13):
He was a player there, he grew.
Speaker 2 (20:14):
Up as an assistant.
Speaker 11 (20:15):
They've seen him as an offensive coordinator. They know what
kind of a leader and what kind of a coordinator
Kellen Moore can be.
Speaker 2 (20:21):
They expect to interview him imminily.
Speaker 11 (20:24):
Ryan Floores, the Minnesota Vikings defensive coordinator. He has a
very full dance card. I would say for the next
couple of days, interviews with the New York Jets and
Jacksonville Jaguars today and then as the Chicago Bears on Saturday.
And it seems for the first time in really a
couple of years Floors it's considered to be a pretty
hot head coaching candidate. I would consider him to get
(20:46):
real looks at all.
Speaker 8 (20:48):
Of those places.
Speaker 11 (20:49):
And then the announcement from this morning. Earlier this morning,
some more news in the NFL international world. The Miami
Dolphins are headed to Madrid.
Speaker 2 (20:59):
We've seen a.
Speaker 11 (20:59):
Couple international announcement over the past couple of weeks. As
they have been dead, we've learned who the home teams
are going to be, the designated team. The latest today,
the Miami Dolphins are going to the first ever regular
season game.
Speaker 3 (21:14):
That's really cool news with Miami Dolphins. He had no
cold weather talk and to a tungue of Iloa questions
when it comes to that matchup. We can't wait for
a schedule release to find out what team will be
going with the Dolphins to play their first ever game.
We love making history like that raps sheet, thanks to
talk to you a little bit. Coming up, we have
eight teams remaining. Who will have the cape wearing through
the sky super hero performance this weekend for his team?
(21:39):
We make our picks super eight Kyle coming up.
Speaker 8 (21:42):
Yeah, I'm going to compare one of the quarterbacks this
weekend to a New York City fat from years ago
that Peter's gonna love. Plus Derek Henry, is this the
huge playoff game? Lastly? Actually we came almost two hundred yards?
Is this one even bigger? Or does it get stopped? Peter?
Speaker 2 (21:57):
Why are you comparing Jared Goff to a cronut?
Speaker 8 (22:00):
You'll find out it's kinda like this. You will find out.
Peter still standing in line at Maglia for those upcakes,
Playoff Talk, Ladies and Sunday and more.
Speaker 12 (22:08):
Max Crosby the Chronic What cool than Naunia?
Speaker 2 (22:21):
Good morning Football?
Speaker 3 (22:24):
I feel like I need superhero music under this Welcome
back to you MP. We're heading into the divisional weekend.
There are eight playoff teams remaining. It's the great eight.
We have superhero talk right now on our show. Who
will be yes this superhero put on the cape fly
through this guy for their team in the divisional round
this weekend.
Speaker 4 (22:41):
Peter Europe First.
Speaker 7 (22:43):
You know there's a young cat in this league with
a seventh round pick who saves his best for the
games that matter most. And this guy is a household name,
but you haven't heard much of them this season. Guess
what after twenty four days of rest, that engine is
ready to go. Isaiah Putshako, It's my superhero for this weekend.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
Isaiah puts Shake is my guy.
Speaker 7 (23:06):
Pachaco has historic numbers in the playoffs. This is just
his third NFL season, but take a look at the
list that he joins of running backs with most consecutive
playoff games with seventy five strimmage yards or more Franco,
Terrell Davis, Emmitt Smith, and Patcheko to know this stack, guys.
(23:29):
Isaiah Pacheco is the only running back in NFL history
to start two Super Bowls in his first two years
as a pro and to win them both. He knows
nothing different than winning playoff games. Has never lost a
playoff game and has never had a playoff game with
less than seventy five strimmage yard. They were going to
Kareem Hunt at points this season. They were going to
(23:51):
Carson Steele at points this season.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
We saw a lot of Samaje Pirn.
Speaker 7 (23:55):
It is time for Pachaco come up. He saves his
best for last and oh baby, he is healthy.
Speaker 2 (24:02):
The Isaiah Pacheco game. You talked a bunch.
Speaker 7 (24:05):
Of oc bar about what Will Anderson's gonna do, and
Daniel Hunter and Tim Settle just get ready for Isaiah
Pacheco to make his will felt AFC West rival of
my man, Max Crosby. He knows all about what Isaiah
Pacheco can do when that matters most in the games.
Speaker 5 (24:21):
I don't know if that was a slight shot, Peter,
but it's no. Are you moving?
Speaker 8 (24:26):
You get that man? Come on?
Speaker 5 (24:27):
No, never, never, I got thick skin.
Speaker 6 (24:30):
But anyway, at the end of the day, you know
we've talked about him before. You know, I've mentioned him
a couple of times. You know we talked about you know,
how how rabid. Some of these fan bases are. When
you talk about the rumors, all these things going around,
there might be more rumors because I'm picking Josh Allen again.
Speaker 5 (24:45):
Yeah, and you know, I know, go.
Speaker 6 (24:47):
On, you know as much, you know, as much as
they upset me at the time, I really thought they
were gonna drove me coming out in twenty nineteen, and
they did it. But this man, Josh Allen, they dropped
the right guy when it came to quarterback. He's unbelievable
and like I talked about earlier, I think he's going
to have a legendary performance on his feet and he's
a problem all across the board, So I think he's
(25:07):
gonna go out there and put the.
Speaker 5 (25:08):
Team on his back.
Speaker 3 (25:09):
You like to feed the beast smacks. You just are
leaning into. You are speaking directly to the fan bases
that are talking to you back, and you're going with
Josh Allen. You continue to say that he will have
a superhero performance this weekend.
Speaker 6 (25:20):
Yeah, I love I love watching Josh Allen play as
much as uh, you know, he's had some success you know,
in our in our matchups, it's all respect at the
end of the day.
Speaker 10 (25:28):
Cool, I respect you putting your chests out there like that.
Man you're putting You're putting an S on your chest
right now. Man, you're going you're going all in for
for him. I disagree. I love Lamar Jackson. So it's
gonna be a fun one to watch. My superhero. My
superhero has to be Trent McDuffie. I'm going back to
the Kennas City Chiefs and I'm going defense. He's gonna
be like Miles Morales, the Black Spider Man. He's very sticky,
(25:51):
he's got great adaptability. You can find him on the
outside playing corner, you can find him playing nickel. He's
so versatile, and I think it's going to be very,
very disruptive for for CJ. Stroud in the Houston Texans.
And I think the biggest reason, like you think him
matched up on Nico Collins. You think about this last game.
He had an interception at picking this game, but he
was giving Nico Collins fifth. That's their star instead of
(26:13):
wide receiver. Remember they don't have Stefan Diggs, they don't
have Tank Dell. They're going to be forced to try
to find other wide receivers to be very productive in
this game because Trent mc duffy. He's going to lock
down their number one wide receiver in Nico Collins. So
that's gonna be my superhero. Look for Spiderweb to be
all over the place in that backfield.
Speaker 3 (26:34):
I go to the number one seed in the NFC.
You know in superhero films, when you got three guys
that line up and they just are standing and they're
ready to go to fight. You're like, I feel pretty
good about those guys. But then when the fourth guy
shows up and you're like, oh, look out, now they
have a squad. Guys, David Montgomery is back, and I'm
not thinking that David Montgomery is going to run for
(26:54):
one hundred and fifty.
Speaker 4 (26:55):
Yards this weekend.
Speaker 3 (26:56):
I'm talking about the kind of superhero that provides an
emotional lift, that provides a goal line punch that brings
back Sonic and knuckles the way.
Speaker 4 (27:04):
That the Lions run game deserves.
Speaker 3 (27:06):
The Lions were the first ever in NFL history had
four guys, two running backs, and two wide receivers that
all went for over a thousand yards in the line
of scrimmage in the regular season. This is a four
fingered punch. You put your thumb inside your fist and
you just start swinging. Okay, I just did it myself
and everybody's laughing at me.
Speaker 4 (27:23):
That's what it looks like. David Montgomery. I don't think
he's going to do.
Speaker 3 (27:26):
A lot, but the fact that he's on the field
is going to mean something for this Lions offense.
Speaker 4 (27:30):
That's my superhero going to do the weekend Cole.
Speaker 8 (27:33):
He's incredibly cool and incredibly tough, and I love that
he's back out there. My superhero is Jaydon Daniels. I
can't make it any clear. Just run the graphic, put
him in a cape, let's go. I am reaching the
point with Jayde Daniels. It's just what more can we
do to hype him out? How incredible he's been. I'm
getting sick of comparing them to other rookie seasons. I'm
tired of comparing them to CJ. Stroup. I'm tired of
Camery comparing into rookies past and Dan Marino and Lawrence Taylor.
(27:55):
I'm tired. If he wins this game and he goes
to Detroit, he is going to supersede rookies in the NFL.
He may even supersede rookies in sports. So I've done
the work, and I've got some other rookies or debut
seasons that I'm going to compare him to if he
beats Detroit this weekend. First one, bring it up, Peter,
You're gonna love this. Nineteen eighty five. That's Boris Becker.
He won Wimbledon at seventeen years old. Jaden is entering
(28:18):
his class.
Speaker 3 (28:19):
Next.
Speaker 8 (28:21):
Nineteen seventy nine. Nineteen eighty Magic Johnson. He took a
beleaguered Lakers team to the finals, who became the only
rookie ever win finals. MVP played center and then adiens rights.
Speaker 2 (28:29):
What's up?
Speaker 8 (28:29):
Michael Cooper entering his class? Next, let's go to Seattle.
Each ye row oh one, Rookie the Year, Silver Slugger,
Gold Glove, MVP, only rookie ever. Jaden is entering his class.
I'm tired of sports even. That's Jim Carrey nineteen eighty four,
with some water skis On's bitten. No, this is post
one Bitton. What's bitten was his minor work. This is
(28:50):
his coming out year ninety four. He's got the mask,
He's got dumb dummer, He's got a spentura. Jaden is
entering his class. I want to see a legend, Jayden.
That's Alan Rickman in his first major motion picture ever.
He never was in a movie before. He played Hans
Gruben was thereatest film of all time nineteen eighty eight.
Jaydan is in his class. You know Smith lost first
season two thousand and four, jj Abrams Polar Bears the numbers,
(29:14):
HUGO four eight, twenty three two. Jayden is entering his class.
I'm gonna go to rare air now twenty thirteen. Peter
the cronut picks over the air, Heady take it? What
am I talking about?
Speaker 2 (29:24):
I'm gonna can't sell the baker. He was right there
on Spring Street in their line was.
Speaker 8 (29:29):
Five hundred deep every morning to have one of these
croissant donut concoction. You know what, walk so the crow
nut could run. Jayden's entering the first rookie season of
something called Sliced Bread nineteen twenty eight. That guy right there,
that's basically the iPhone that's artificial in touns. She's like,
I'm gonna cut this bread. Jaden Daniels is having a
Slice Bread type season. You want to know A crazy
(29:51):
rookie debut eighteen eleven. Jane Austin drops sense and sensibility
out of the gates like it's nothing. There were no cameras,
so we have a picture of Kate Winslet in a movie.
Two hundred years later, Jaden Daniels is doing Jane Austen things,
slicing bread. He's Hans Gruber, He's a Spenta, He's Boris Becker.
You beat Detroit this weekend. That is the rare area
(30:12):
you're in. We're going back to a man taking a
knife and cutting the bread this way, and people were like, what,
that's Shane Dennis. They wins in the tries to bread.
Nice bath and bread.
Speaker 2 (30:23):
Hey, what kind of bread was it?
Speaker 8 (30:24):
Was that sour dough. I'm just just curious.
Speaker 4 (30:26):
It was more about.
Speaker 3 (30:29):
Night that Jayden Daniels is going to have to be
gotten through that lion's defense.
Speaker 8 (30:32):
Let's go, what's up, everybody.
Speaker 5 (30:35):
It's Manti to Oh.
Speaker 13 (30:36):
I am home in Let at the Polynesian Culture Center,
which also happens to be the home of the Polynesian
Football Hall of Fame. Tune in this Friday, four pm
Local times, six pm Pacific time for the All Star Game.
We're so looking forward to showcasing all of these young
athletes and the Polynesian culture.
Speaker 8 (30:54):
Good morning football. I love you.
Speaker 5 (30:56):
I'll see you.
Speaker 4 (30:56):
In La Manti, we love you. One of the most
humble teammates we can have.
Speaker 3 (30:59):
He could have done that stand up promoting the game
that he is on tonight on NFL Network in front
of his.
Speaker 4 (31:04):
Own Hall of Fame jersey and the Polydesia Bowl. He
did not do that.
Speaker 3 (31:07):
More names will go down in history tonight. Cherry Burris
on NFL Network. We love Mantai and we can't wait
to watch Absolutely.
Speaker 14 (31:13):
And Jamie, how do we figure out to get on
an assignment that we also get to go to Hawaii?
Speaker 3 (31:17):
Great question share a week, So maybe we need to
talk to Mandy Manti.
Speaker 14 (31:20):
Yes, all right. The Lions, they find themselves in a
coveted position as the top seed in the NFC. They
are no longer the hunter, but instead the hunted. Dan
Campbell says, though his team is ready for it.
Speaker 15 (31:33):
We know we're going to get everybody's best shot. We
know that every week, and it doesn't matter if it's
who we've played, what week it is. And our guys
understand that. And I think the most important thing is
it doesn't matter where you're at, where you're seeded, how
many wins you have, You've got to stay hungry, and
our team's hungry.
Speaker 8 (31:53):
Well.
Speaker 14 (31:53):
In the AFC, it's a battle of the top two
MVP candidates, Lamar Jackson and josh Allen Jackson just one
in three as a starter in the Visional round or later,
but as linebacker Ropepon Smith will the insiders he has
all the faith in the world and his quarterback.
Speaker 16 (32:08):
I got a great deal of respect for Lamar who
he is as a person and as a player as well.
And the type of stuff that he's doing this year
is like mom boggling, just like watching him. How he
can beat you from the pocket, beat you from his
legt I've never seen it done before. I've played against
a lot of quarterbacks in this league, and what he's doing,
no other quarterback is doing. And it's not me just talking.
(32:30):
If anybody watches tape, they can see it as well.
So I'm very excited that he's on my team, and
I'm very excited for him to show the world with
everyone watching on Sunday, exactly who he is and what
type of player he is from the first snap to
the last nap. So get your popcorn ready say less.
Speaker 4 (32:46):
Ro Quan, we got it right here. More game that
be coming your way.
Speaker 14 (32:49):
Max Cosby's still here with us. I'm gonna finish his
pop Crunch, Share the World, Sherry.
Speaker 4 (32:53):
Bring it over here.
Speaker 3 (33:05):
Mon.
Speaker 8 (33:09):
Cars.
Speaker 9 (33:09):
You watch the movie Cars a little bit too, watched Cars.
Speaker 8 (33:12):
But anyways, I.
Speaker 9 (33:16):
Was a kid when I watched Cars, That's all I'm saying.
You know when when Lighting McQueen just flying flashed past,
and then it's like, that's how Derek look he was
running past and all those guys just it looked.
Speaker 8 (33:28):
It looks like a movie. Bro.
Speaker 9 (33:29):
I'm not gonna lie to you, but I'd rather be
watching it than being on the opposide of ball.
Speaker 8 (33:36):
I absolutely love that clip and Lamar talking about Derreck
Henry and he opened the door, So I'm going down.
I'm gonna go deep dive on. Let's come join me.
Lamar says he watched it as a kid. I watched
it with kids many, many times. And you start to
see it a little differently, and you start to have
some takes about I even met Lighting McQueen.
Speaker 2 (33:53):
Was like great, hang, great, hang. He makes sure you're comfortable.
Speaker 8 (33:57):
Make sure we were right there in Radiator Springs, Peter.
I absolutely loved it, but I do see what Lamar
is talking about as King Henry as Lightning McQueen, he's fast,
he's very likable, he's successful, he's wealthy, he gets angry
in the right kind of spots. I just have some questions, though,
Is Lightning McQueen really a big game car.
Speaker 4 (34:14):
Talk about it?
Speaker 2 (34:15):
Does McQueen really have the clutch gene?
Speaker 8 (34:18):
Is he really the goat of anthropomorphic vehicles?
Speaker 2 (34:22):
Let's skin into McQueen.
Speaker 8 (34:23):
A little bit. If we're gonna pair Derek Henrick to McQueen.
He learns to be a great teammate, of course, but
we never really see him win a big race. Let's
get into it. In Cars one, he ties a race
because of arrogance, and then he loses a race due
to selflessness. Still no dub Cars two does not exist,
and if it did, it would be the worst thing
(34:43):
Picks are ever created.
Speaker 2 (34:45):
Cars three race Cars two just a race.
Speaker 8 (34:47):
McQueen can't keep up with the next gen racers. Jackson's
Storm Armie Hammer. McQueen has a massive wreck and Act
one and then he realizes in the third acts with
Bob Costas on the call as Bob Cutlass that young
Cruz Ramirez is actually faster than him and bold than him,
and McQueen steps aside, can't finish the race, doesn't have it.
(35:09):
I know we're told if you go to his wiki,
that he's seven time Piston Cup champ, but we never
see it. What we see is that McQueen can't finish,
or chooses not to. He taps out. Then I look
at the Buffalo Bills now, I look at the Buffalo
Bills through Lamar's lens of radiator springs, and I see
(35:29):
Western New York as the carburetor county of the NFL.
The Bills are a team comprised largely of some spare parts,
some parts that have some rust on them.
Speaker 2 (35:40):
Some you don't really know if they're gonna work or not.
Speaker 8 (35:42):
But they do. My take is that the Buffalo Bills
are toe materer. They are toe majer. Real ones know
the heart of the franchise. This guy the moral compass
of the films. And I'll tell you why would you
like to see who leads the Buffalo Bills in touchdown
receptions this year? Touchdown receptions for Josh Allen's a pretty big deal.
It's this man boom that man who is a gunner
(36:05):
on the punt team? Is they're leading touchdown receiver? Has
that ever happened before? You think maybe the same team,
maybe Steve Tasker. No, Steve Tasker not even close to
leaving the Bills and touchdown receptions. Matt Collins, does you
want another spare part quote unquote? How about this hero
from the wildcard round talking about the running back on
fourth down? Here? Not James Cook, not Ray Davis, the
RB three Ty Johnson touchdown. Do you know that Tdy
(36:29):
Johnson is a running back over the season averages better
than fifteen yards per catch as a running back, and
that no running back has done that since the eighties.
The Bills have pieces of Ramon and Flow and Fillmore
and Sarge. But the Bills, my friends, are mad. And
you might say, all right, hold on, hold on a second,
(36:50):
hold on, How are you gonna say an engine like
Josh Allen is part of a broken down hunka junk
like toe Mater. Because you've got to come deeper with me,
and you guys know what I'm talking about. Those who
are in the Cars Expanded Universe, the real Car's heads
embrace Mater's tall Tales Mini stories and know that Mater
glows up. Mater's got wings. This is Mader the Greater,
(37:13):
the Daredevil. He's a monster truck, He's a private eye,
he has all kinds of powers. It's the kind of
leader that you can rally around.
Speaker 2 (37:22):
Bad Gum.
Speaker 8 (37:23):
This is who they're rolling with. It's Mader in the
Tall Tales. Now, it's gonna be really hard for the
Bills this weekend because John Harbaugh, classic, Doc Hudson in there,
Classic Paul Newman, and no coach in history has won
more road playoff games than the Harbaugh Hornet. He's won
eight of them. But no team has won more home
games than the Bills this year. They've won nine of them.
(37:45):
And Lamar Jackson has never thrown a touchdown in a
road playoff game in his career. Josh Allen this weekend,
he needs to be fast, he needs to be tough
because this will be one of the most challenging races
of his life. And life is a highway and they're
gonna I had seventeen all night long, Bill's thirty, Ravens
(38:09):
twenty nine, instant Classic.
Speaker 2 (38:12):
Give the MVP to both of them.
Speaker 8 (38:15):
If I'm lying, I'm crying. Thank you to everybody, Incarborator
Crowne and Radiator Springs. I love you, the founding mother
and the father and great people. Max Criesby get in here.
Speaker 6 (38:25):
Yeah, that was incredible. That was incredible. I mean, how
do I follow that up? You're I think you're right though.
I think at the end of the day, it's going
to come down to the MVP race that everyone knows about.
And you know, I've had my Josh Allen talk today,
but I think he pulls it out. He has a
legendary performance. It doesn't mean Lamar is going to have
a bad performance, but I think Josh Allen and my god,
(38:46):
Mac Collins. I love that you mentioned MATC Collins. Former
team Eli Lyne, me and him used to be like this,
who's going to be the hardest worker in the weight
room And it was a battle every single day. So
that dude is going to make a big play as well.
So I'm looking forward to it.
Speaker 3 (38:59):
I like the metamorphosis that Josh Allen has had to
go through as a quarterback, Kyle. I like the fact
that he is four different maj cars. I believe that
you were able to tee up there. The fact that
he is a shape shifter. He does what it takes
to get the job done. I won't make my prediction,
but I appreciate the work that you just put in.
Speaker 10 (39:16):
Wow, I'm still if you ain't lying you crying. I
might have to say you might be crying on this one.
But thirty twenty nine, that was a great way that
you threaded that whole universe together. That was a masterpiece,
Kyle An absolute masters season.
Speaker 7 (39:31):
There's a scene in the first Car, so I'm going
a titular film Cars, where they're on the giant two
decker thing and the driver falls asleep at the wheel
and then all of a sudden lightning McQueen has to
navigate himself on the highway and he wakes up and
he's like where am I?
Speaker 2 (39:48):
And it's this really dramatic scene.
Speaker 7 (39:50):
I say all this to say that you better be
ready to go from kickoff both of these teams. This
cannot be one of those deals where our team falls
asleep early, because the other team will get out early
and they will.
Speaker 2 (39:59):
Take care of business. You took the bills.
Speaker 7 (40:02):
I could see it, I could taste it, I could
do it. I'm not making a pick, but I also
say this, I will not be picking against Lamar Jackson
in this game.
Speaker 8 (40:09):
Nice Peter, of course, referencing the voice of that truck,
the iconic John Ratzenberg and all the every Pixar film.
Don't fall asleep like him.
Speaker 3 (40:17):
Guys, we've talked a lot of movies today on GMFB Superheroes. Well,
we think we have unearthed the origin story of the
tush push. Max Crosby on the show with Us today
for a couple of hours hanging around. Max Crosby seems
to think that when he stuffed Jalen Hurts at the
goal line in a Raiders Eagles game from Week seven
of twenty twenty one, that that is the last time
(40:39):
the Eagles tried to rush a quarterback over the top.
Speaker 4 (40:42):
Guys, we have to play.
Speaker 3 (40:42):
We always get there.
Speaker 4 (40:45):
It is stopped. Max talk to us.
Speaker 6 (40:48):
Yeah, you know, in the situation, I like diving over
the pile. But as you can see, you know, Troy
Palamolo big inspiration from me, and yeah, I had to
get him down. So I think this was the moment
that the tush push was invented, because clearly, as you
can see, that was not effective.
Speaker 4 (41:03):
Not effective beating the field. You beat the Eagles at
day thirty three, twenty two. That's a good feeling. It's
good highlight for you.
Speaker 6 (41:09):
Great one, great one. Got to go toe to toe
Lane Johnson. We both gained a lot of mutual respect
for each other that day. So yeah, it was a big.
