[Assistant] But I just, I also feel like we see sometimes like whether it's San Francisco or Dallas, some of these teams, even Miami is like when they play at home, it's just a different animal, different challenge. And there's other teams that go on the road. They don't.

[Assistant] My favorite and it's the simplest thing is, and this again is my mother-in-law, and they still make it in the family. Uhm, homemade meatballs and spaghetti. That's it. To keep it simple. Love spaghetti so much.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The largest number of people from New York and New Jersey. That would probably help explain it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's just throwing out foods that he loves. He is, he's just throwing out food. No. Uh, Breach, you're definitely a eggplant guy, it feels like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I guess it's hard to not like it, but I mean, like I love cutlets or lasagna. I don't get to eat sushi all day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Producer Harry was saying that, you know, Lee Meichenberg had to move over. That was his third move interior when the Connor Williams got hurt. And I think producer Harry said they're down to one starting offensive lineman, which isn't the way you want to go to the final month of the season.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let me ask you this Pete, just speculating cause neither you nor I are a doctor. I think breach is some sort of weird doctor in Puerto Rico, but on the scale of 0% to a hundred percent, how many shots did Tyree get in his ankle? He came back out there 10 minutes later than I thought he would.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let me tell, uh, Pete, Pete, Pete, because me, Brynston and Breach are going to talk about this on HQ in a little bit. Their next four games with Brynston and Rhea in a second. Brynston and Breach have them going one and three, I have them going two and two, and that certainly changes the complexion where they finish in the top seven.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I have them beating the Jets we all do and then I have them beating the Bills in a barn burn week 18.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And also worth noting, quickly Pete, I'll say this, uh, these two knuckleheads have the bills winning out and I have them going two and two. So that sort of balances things out in my bracket.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They play, uh, Patriots and Dolphins that we talked about.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I would say the week 18 game could very easily be if both these teams went out. The Giants and the Bears. That game gets flexed to see who makes the playoffs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh yeaah, we knew that. You just wanted to say that cause you had that. You didn't see anything with a hat on your head anyway. Pete was covering your eyes the whole time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How much of that win do you think was a function of the team rallying around Sean McDermott?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, that depends on how it plays out. The other thing is, last week, I was the only one on the Bills, and these two were worried about this Chiefs game, understandably so. Here's what happens, if they get their doors blown off by the Cowboys, we're right back to where we started two weeks ago. So we're talking up the Bills, and they do feel incredibly dangerous, and Pete, I think, you know, you saw them in person, and you saw that, what it looked like, but,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know why he had to transfer Pete? Who's the quarterback? He couldn't beat out. Tyler Palco. That's right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What point did he make on HQ that I thought was a good point about the best quarterbacks play at a certain level and then what happens with the rest?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Kellen Moore, you are what you are, says Pete Prisco. Yep.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I asked Rick about that, that specific question, because it infuriates me when you hire coordinators who can't manage. Right. And they didn't have any, these are questions they would ask, but there are no, there's no test that you, I know you hate the test, but there was no test that they come up with to figure out who's a good leader and who isn't.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're great coordinators and teams don't necessarily follow those guys. So I don't know. I agree with you a hundred percent, but I think in terms of.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know if you figured that out interviewing Ben Johnson or interviewing Bobby Sloak or whomever, but you gotta start somewhere I guess with that team?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I can't disagree with that. I went back, you know it's funny Pete, I watched the first half of the Panthers game live.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I'm like, oh, he's, I was a, Sam was like, okay, he's making some throws. They're throwing the ball deep for the first time in Panthers history with Bryce Young. Then it was three for 15 to the half. And then it just got worse from there. I give him credit for throwing deep. He missed a couple of deep throws. He had six drops that I counted, but he, he's.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's not going in the right direction. So I'm okay with you had that, that, that needle in the Rosen meter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I might, how, where's the, where's the, where's that needle in the yellow line in the middle? I think it's closer to the green for me. It's like straight, just straight up. Oh, it's closer to the green. Wow. You're all in on those.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're gonna give a rose away? Almost, like the golden black bachelor. Is that that guy's name?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let me say, let me tell you something. Commanders fans, including our boss Eric K, weren't happy with the idea of me drafting the quarterback in the latest Mike draft I did a couple weeks ago. They want an offensive lineman. They're all in on Sam Howe. I don't hate that, but I thought maybe.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, I took, I gave him Jane Daniels.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, I think, I was just both mixing it up for conversation, but offensive lineman there, you know, that's a layup. That's what they want.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm gonna do a little analogy for you. Drake May is to Will Brinson and NC State, as uh, Will Levis is to Pete Prisco and Bryce Young. Like that's the math there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I did say this when I was on HQ earlier talking about the draft stuff. This year, the quarterback tape feels cleaner than in recent years. Sometimes you had to squint to sort of try to see the good. There's a lot of good and you could argue that Pinnix and Jayden's tape is better than Caleb and Drake.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So if Jayden Daniels is there at number seven, it'd be pretty hard to pass on him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I get that, but you know what I keep coming back to? I don't disagree with that at all, but I keep coming back to situations like Ikea Quanu. Oh boy. The Giants kept drafting offensive linemen. They just kept sucking.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Evan Neal. Andrew Thomas is good, but yea, so then you get into that situation. Andrew Thomas wasn't good out of the gate. He got better, but right, yea, he struggled initially. So then you're like, alright, I have a guy to fix the problem. This guy's making the problem worse, and we've passed on it, whatever. It's really unlikely that


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And they're now picking 8th by the way, so they keep winning and dropping down.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's- that's a- wait a second though, Pete, hold on. That's the same situation that the Panthers find themselves, so I'm curious.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And Jonathan Gaines is another example of a guy who we thought was a little weird and wasn't going to work out and he appears to be doing a great job.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, and that yellow might be moving towards green for me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Tyler Scott, who they drafted this year, who has a chance to be better.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I have the fifth pick too right now, and you could take Dallas Turner or whoever your edge rusher is, put it with Montez Sweat and then you're cooking.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, uh, Caleb, Caleb. Oh. Into this draft.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Four. I would go four too. And I know that I see the rest of these.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's it, huh? For Carnell, only had one. He got hurt. That's what happened.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So who is the number one, now you know all five names, who is the best running back of this group according to Pete Prisco?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Somebody voted for their local friend. Yeah. I don't know who 98 was in the running. Who was it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What's up everybody? Welcome to the pick six podcast, CBS sports NFL podcast. I'm Will Brinson and I'm the captain now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sunday night, super fringe recap. We've been sitting here as the chat on YouTube knows youtube.com slash at NFL on CBS. We've been waiting for.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Boycotting and protesting the firing of Arthur Smith. Joining me to talk about week 18 and who knows what the hell else. Johnny breach. What's up breach.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As he said, clicking over to his rundown. I don't know, he's doing it on Sunday nights. The, uh, Sunday Night Football Game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or just let Ryan Wilson take over now that he finally showed up 45 minutes later. Hey, Ryan. Oh, sorry. Didn't realize you were there. Um, the Buffalo Bills. Well, let's go with Arthur Smith thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The sequence of events that led to Arthur Smith being fired are him only winning seven games, three years in a row.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, the Falcons, who will now pick eighth overall, make sure to subscribe to with the first pick podcast to get all your draft details. The Ryan Wilson, Ryan Wilson, never experiment. Fantastic. CBS Sports podcast, uh, as about the NFL draft, they're gonna pick eight overall for the third straight year. They drafted Kyle Pitts, uh, fourth overall, I believe.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right after Jamar Chase, right? Or maybe Jamar Chase was there. Then the last few years, they take Drake London and Bijan Robinson. The offense stinks. They go on with Desmond Ritter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's a bunch of back and forth with Arthur Smith throughout the season about whether the quarterback situation and then everything culminates.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With the Falcons getting blown out by the saints. Yeah, you lose it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In this division, this terrible division, and to make matters worse, at the end of this game, Dennis Allen, after a tire, after a, I don't remember where the damn button is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know. Uhm, after a Tyron Mathieu interception down to the one yard line, Dennis Allen calls for a knee.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How surprised were you of the actual timing of the firing?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I also think too that that whole thing, it was really, I mean, like, like Jamis screwed Dennis Allen over and Dennis Allen ends up looking like the idiot in all this because he's getting overruled by his backup quarterback and the entire team on the field, like with no time left, but.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Behaving that way at the end of the game, I think, exacerbated the timeline and made Arthur Blank decide, cause Arthur Blank...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That you, I mean, he friend of the podcast, Arthur blank, he's been on the pig six podcast at the lab, the Miami Superbowl, but he, um, that's not the sort of thing that I can see him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, appreciating, I don't think anybody would appreciate that. Like it was fiery and all that, but you, you're, you're being a jerk at midfield after an embarrassing 48 to 17 loss. You know, your, your four, your five losses, you beat the Colts in week 16, but to close the season.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You lose the bucks, Panthers, Bears and Saints.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, you get reverse swept on your way out the door, uh, by in the division, never going to just one of the games at home, but like you're, you know, to lose three division games in your final five games and then have that ugly thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's just, it's just the whole thing is just a bad look and, uh, not surprised at all that he's fired. I didn't think the timing was just interesting to fire him at midnight on the nose and just get it done with, but sure. I mean, it was, it was coming.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, one thing to note on the Arthur Smith firing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I tweeted this out. I just thought it was kind of interesting, but the, um,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Falcon to their press release said the search for a new head coach of the Falcons will get immediately. It will be led by blank Arthur blank. Obviously in rich McKay who always like maybe you asked Rich McKay, he's accountable for the


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How could that be a good at all? Anybody? Okay. Uh, with input from Falcon's general manager, Terry Fontenot and several other appropriate members of blanks, Atlanta Falcons and AMB sports and entertainment organizations. The fact that Terry Fontenot, the GM only gets to provide input on the hiring of the coach. I think is at least interesting that to me says that he is


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On a little bit, maybe thin ice and potentially if like Jim Harbaugh was interested in coming to Atlanta, uh, they could, or Bill Belichick was interested in coming to Atlanta. Terry Fontenot is not an obstacle to hiring a big name head coach who wants personnel power.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sunday Night Football featured the Buffalo Bills storming back to beat the Miami Dolphins and to win the AFC East. Uh, we don't have a Steve Kornacki. Is it Kornacki? Kornacki?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Graphic here to show us what the percentages were for my Buffalo bills, winning the division, but I think they were down to like 4%.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Dolphins cratered. Uh, Harry is very emo tonight. Um, and I understand, understandably, you know, like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, that's dolphins are like 90 plus percent to win the division. Wilson, what did you think of this outcome?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] From a Steelers fan perspective, knowing that you now go to Buffalo, uh, instead of heading to Miami.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I felt like it might, it was a cover, you know, covers your blitz. They bought the house. The dolphins did Alan through it and it looked like his initial reaction that he sort of blamed game Davis.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know if, I mean, we'll have to hear about, I mean, he's not going to throw him under the bus. Gabe Davis got hurt in that game as well. But, um,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The second one was a pure, pure tea, uh, you know, fadeaway jumper from like 40 yards away. And then he almost hit another one, um, for attention. I was like, I think the problem is his


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's, I think, I think what's so interesting about Josh Allen is that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's sort of what we thought Patrick Mahomes might be without good coaching.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm like, I'm like, yeah, this sounds great. I'm definitely doing this. And then like snap the ball, like, nah, I'm good. I'm good. I think I'm going to have a glass of wine tonight. Five days in, you're on a four night vendor. Right. Exactly. It's like, well, I mean, we can always start January 14th or something. Um, but


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It is concerning because the dolphins got after him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's a tough spot to be your three point favorite, but you're on the road. It just feels like if this is the I always hark it back to Wilson's reaction to


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What was it like a Rosencopter style Josh Allen moment again? Remember against the Texans in the playoff? That wild card game. It's like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Josh Allen can, can win you any game at any given moment and he can lose you any game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At any given moment too. And I sort of think for the, I almost think for the, like, I don't think the bills should have lost. Like it's better for them. You get the Steelers. It feels like a sort of a bye week. You're going to likely advance to the next round. Your 10 point favorites at home. Obviously Pittsburgh could pull off the upset, but


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It almost feels like the bills were better off in this underdog mentality. And once I got to the spot where like the Jaguars lose, they already clenched his three point favorites, it sort of changed how he played. I feel like, I don't know. I feel like he went back to yo.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I feel like we went back to pressing yolo Josh Allen, and if he does that in the playoffs,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't see how they end up making it to the Super Bowl if he goes back to, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Taking what defense is given, then this builds the ceiling for this Bill's team is as high as anybody in the NFL.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Detroit lions went out and beat the Vikings.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We lose Sam Laporta, although Dave Campbell did say that this injury might not be as bad as it initially looked.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think it's like somewhere a little worse, like, like best case scenario, it's like TJ watt, right? It says the bone brews, so it's nothing torn. Yeah, that's good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Um, yeah, that's it. That's a big deal for them with the Rams coming to town. Uh, more importantly, Wilson, how do you, where do you stand on Dan Campbell's decision to because you could have gotten the two seed if the Cowboys lose, but the Cowboys were 14 point favorites in Washington against a bad commander's team and


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think I'm okay with Dan Campbell playing the guys. I don't want to be results based. I think this is a very Dan Campbell thing, but I'm curious if you think they should have sat everybody against Minnesota and you know, it wouldn't matter, but open the door potentially for Minnesota to make, make it into the playoffs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, not to, I'm not, I'm, this is not, I'm picking on the, the bingles thing. Was it 2009 when the bingles sat everybody in week, Marvin Lewis sat everybody in week 17.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is not a case where once you knew that Dallas is going to be the two seed and you would be the three seed, there was no chance you were going to have to play Minnesota. Like they were going to max out at the seven seed. So it's not like that. That one, I'm a little wary of is like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think this is just, I, I do, I do think this instance is a little bit different only because it is Dan Campbell and this is how Dan Campbell operates and he's, he, he's like no.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yardline. This is when we come back, Ryan Wilson.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We'll praise CJ Strahl to the ends of the earth. Next.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's all I was, that's what I was trying to avoid by continuing to host. I didn't, I have no interest in hosting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And Demico, Demico can catch a little heat too for his, his decision making down the stretch.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he's throwing from like a weird arm slot and he is dropping dimes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like I'm, I'm the whole Bryce Young CJ Stroud thing. Like I don't think CJ Stroud is dealing with, you know, whatever, uh, Tyree, I mean, excuse me, Patrick Mahomes had when he started, you know, in his second year, he didn't have Tyree Gill and Travis Kelsey.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But Nico Collins, Noah Brown, Dalton Schultz, Devon Singletary has played really well. I think that the Bobby Slowick system and the Shanahan style system is elevating these guys and CJ Stroud is elevating these guys, but I think they're also pretty good. Having said that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, let me just say like Nigo is a third year wide receivers having a breakout. CJ is definitely elevating. Don't get me wrong. Noah Brown and Dalton Charles free agents. Devon Singletary same thing. I think they did a really, I think the, the underrated thing the Texans did this, this off season, if you look at the offense and the defense was the, the free agent signings that they went out and made.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A little bit of like Belichick when he first got to New England where you can't just.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Magically draft and develop an entire defense overnight. You have to sort of hope to find guys that will fit your system and let it work out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think this game could turn into a shootout. Brown, I think I have, I ranked, uh, the wild card games on CBS sports.com. I rate Brown's Texans at fourth.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On my, on my list, ahead of, behind Ram's Lions, Dolphins Chiefs, Packers Cowboys, but ahead of Eagles Bucks and Bill Steelers. Do you think that's, do you think that is the correct ranking or do you move it up or down?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm a little, I think that, I think Eagle's Box has bust potential. Maybe shoot out a few. That's gotta be last. It doesn't even matter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, you know what I think is pretty crazy about this, um, this tech and we're, we've known for.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, I think that's like what? Like eight hours at the Browns would be hosting this game, but the Browns in this game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Houston's hosting the game, excuse me, that the Browns and the Texans be playing. Um, I was trying to, you've actually probably know this breach. I don't even need to look it up, but this is a testament to CJ shroud.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're not lobbing around, lobbing around the rookie quarterback and the first playoff start stuff cause it feels like he might be a little bit out. I was about to bring it up. Me too. So is the last, I mean, I'm, I mean, I'm old now and my brain is a pile of mush. Here's what you're staring at since 2012.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They lost to the Niners. So the Jaguars start the season, beat the Colts, a double digits, losing the Chiefs to the Texans. Texas game was weird. Turns out not as weird. Texas are good. When five straight games going into their by get absolutely blitzkrieg by the Niners coming out of the by win two more games.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And they're sitting at eight and three with their losses to the, again, the Texans at home, weird one, maybe a chief's hangover, but the chiefs, the Niners and the Texans.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're eight and three and they have the Bengals backup quarterback Brown's backup quarterback Raven's tough match up Buccaneers Panthers and the Titans and they have to win two of those games to get to 10 wins and it's usually guaranteed that they make the playoffs. And yes, Trevor Lawrence got hurt.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That Tannehill and Derek and we were playing the last game in Tennessee that Mike variable could have been coaching his last game in Tennessee, not because he'd be fired, but for whatever reasons, we don't know. It's up in the air. Still unsettled is what Adam Schefter called it on, on Sunday morning. I think that much is clear and they were getting revenge from last year when they got booted by the Jaguars in week 18. So I wouldn't shock that the Titans won, but man to


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The right, the way they won Jacksonville's offense feels broken.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I would be interested to see what happens this all season. Doug Peters says I can fire to me. He went and won a playoff game. Um, you can definitely complain about the coaching. Uh, I think tell me a team.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Should the Jaguars fire Pete for the team's radio show because he cursed them by putting them in the Super Bowl?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He did need to play in that Browns game after the, after that injury in the Bengals. He needed to sit out a week. I think I don't know if it changes the trajectory of the season, but like he was way too injured to be playing. And I think that certainly affected the office. This is also an offense that is not.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like they don't throw vertical. I mean, he had a great vertical pass to Calvin Ridley in this game, but


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think, I think just, it's interesting to note. And I, and this is sort of more of like a bigger picture item, but, um, again, Karnacki or whatever the guy for NBC, the election guy brought it to do all the football stuff, pointed out how last year, so the Jaguars had a 96% chance of making the playoffs, um, after 12 weeks of the season.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's really hard to miss. Now at the same point last year, they had a 3% chance of making the playoffs and ripped off five wins. And I just think it is lovely. Thank you, Harold.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or Harry, excuse me. Um, 98, 93, 90, 90, 72, 69, 76, zero. That is the trajectory of their playoff chances each week starting after week 12. It is really hard to get 12 weeks into the season and have a 98% chance to make the playoffs and miss the playoffs with


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Multiple teams below 500 remaining on your schedule.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just think it's also interesting to, this is how football works, where


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Last year's Jaguar season has seen this massive success. You know, they win the division, but it was really improbable that they won the division. It was really improbable that they won that playoff game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you'd have to be a sucker to pick them to make the super bowl based on like this sort of little bit of house of cards stuff. And so I think if you take last year and this year,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And step back from them, you could say that maybe they even out a little bit and this team wasn't quite as close to ascending as we thought they were, even with an easy schedule.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I'm, I think I'm curious if they maybe pursue Frank, right? Who was the OC when Doug Peterson won a Super Bowl to be the OC. You're gonna keep going press Taylor.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All right. Ron Rivera's favorite day is January 7th because that's his birthday.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Jacked over to his favorite days. Uh, anyway, moving along.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We've, I keep coming back to this conversation we had about Jordan love. He's just streaky and that's okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's a, it's, it's somewhere between like Rogers and farm, not in terms of like his, what he, what he is and what he's become, but you're far of what's tricky as hell. Roger's a little less streaky, unlike less likely to throw the picks. Yeah, but you would have these. And by the way, can we throw that graphic of the.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Winning coaches in December and January back up, Perry.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] First I was reading, I was like, oh wow, that's a really good percentage between all of these Packers coaches because Mike Sherman events, a party, the LeBarty coach one year for the Washington, but Sherman only coached the Packers. The floor is only close to Packers. I saw John Madden. I was like, he didn't go to Packers. This would be wild that the three best.

[Assistant] Winning percentages, minimum 15 games of, of, of head coaches all time in December and January, the top three are all like Packers coaches. That is nuts. At any rate.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, look, if you're a Packers fan, you have no, unless you're


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. I mean, how old do you have to be to be like, well, really stumbled through this brutal stretch of my life where we didn't have a quarterback. I mean, these guys just get a quarterback. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Great quarterbacks. Mousseau may have jinxed this game by the way. He did a, I did a Saturday, uh, HQ hit and it was like a lead in from Mousseau and he's like, I know the pack.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's a surging rival. It's like, all right, Joe, settle down pal. The bear, the bear, the bears look fine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know if they're a surging rival. They throw what, nine points in this game?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Bears scored nine points. I'm just saying like the, the Bears got overhyped before the season. Bears are getting overhyped mid season. They finished seven and 10. Let's, let's everyone pump the brakes on the Bears. You're probably gonna be starting a new quarterback in week one next year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think if you're an Eagles fan, you should be petrified that, have you looked at the Lions, Wilson, to know what the spreads are?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's two and a half minus one 22. It's probably going to get to three. Um, it's definitely, it definitely feels like this bucks team is going to fight. I mean, now look, it's football. It's a playoff game. It's, it's 60 minutes in on a, on a, on a Monday night. In this case, anything can happen, but like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And Tampa Bay finds a way to just go down with nine, nothing in Carolina.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The offense has been bad the last two weeks. We sort of started fluffing the bucks up offensively. Dave Canales, as you mentioned, getting bandied around and for head coaching jobs. And then the last two weeks, just a really, really, really bad performance by the bucks on offense. Having said that,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They took care of business and found a way to win the division. Everyone basically picked him to finish last in the division. We all look like idiots and.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After starting four and seven, they made the playoffs just like the Jaguars did. But you look at this list of teams who have done that 2022 Jacksonville, they won that crazy game. It's the Chargers last year, 2020 Washington, 2020 weird year. They lost the wild card round.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 08 Chargers, 96 Jags and 95 Chargers. Nobody made it. The furthest anybody made it was the 96 Jaguars who made it to the conference championship game. I think this bucks team can, I'll be picking them to beat the Eagles and obviously to cover.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think it's a one and done situation, but credit to Todd balls and credit to Baker Mayfield credit to Dave Canales, everybody involved, Jason light, the GM, everybody involved with this because no one wanted to back the bucks this year. They were dealing with a salary cap fallout of.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Tom Brady and everybody, myself included sort of thought top balls was going to be toast after this year. And if anything weird happens in New Orleans, he's the lone man standing left in the NFC South.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wonder, and like, I don't know if this will matter for Philadelphia, but just because of how banged up they are on defense and their weaknesses. But we've seen teams shift what they do against the Bucks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Over the last couple of weeks, and it's like, stack the box. Don't let Rashad White, Rashad White is just going to get a bunch of carries and then just smother Mike Evans.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cause Mike Evans is on a heater when this offense was running well. And now it's like Chris Godwin is sort of more of the focal point. Baker's also banged up. I think it's a great point there by breach. Like I mean, Bryce Young threw for 94 passing yards this game. If, um,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If they were playing the Rams, the Cowboys, the Lions, obviously the 49ers, maybe the Packers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm missing like anybody else in the interstate playoffs. I would think I would pick the other team, but the Eagles are just so bad down right now that I want to back the box.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, it's easy when a team starts out and there's eight in one going into their buy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Easily, uh, could have lost against the Vikings in week two easily. They could have lost to the commanders both times that the one before the buy week eight went to overtime. They should have lost to the Cowboys in week nine before the buy and they definitely should have lost to both the chiefs and the bills after the buy. So it's like you look at the scene.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And say, all right, here's the overall record. They're 11 and five. It's a good season. No one can complain about it. They did regress from last year, but more importantly, this team has been a problem since October.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They like, they, they, they've been Pete Prisco said it best. They've been wobbly and, and they just, the defense has collapsed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Remember, the only thing we've seen worse was it relates to Matt Patricia is when Belichick turned him to like the office of coordinator. That's the only thing that makes this look like less worse. Like I know let's mid season just go to Matt Patricia and see if that fixes things. They lose five of six to close out the season. The only one that Christmas day thing against the Giants.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It would be shocking if this team won a playoff game, much less any, like what to, I mean, Jalen hurts is banged up. AJ Brown's banged up. I think it's surprising. They're favored to be honest.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The jaguars, the jaguars is so bad, not just because.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They are, they had a 96% chance or 98% chance to make the playoffs in week 12. Like that is an all-timer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But the real kick in the pants here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because Wilson is the Niners and the Dolphins. I've got obviously all four of mine in. So I have two teams on each side. I would put my top two against anyone's top two.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You got the two, two seeds. I mean, you got the, you got the two, two seeds at four and five. So I don't really know what you're complaining about. If you weren't such a Homer and dedicated to your bit and didn't have to take Jake Browning, you could have had the Texans.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do you have yours or do you want me to go? Uhm. Yeah, you can go if you're ready.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is easy. Actually, actually, you know, I'll get my, my, my Brinson VP. I'm going to give it to you and Tony appears.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Raiders coach interim coach finishes the season. They go eight and nine beats the pants off the Broncos beats the chiefs in arrowhead on Christmas day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Did literally everything that this man possibly could.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In order to get the full time job and I read some quotes from Paul Gutierrez talking to Mark Davis after the game and Mark Davis was understandably noncommittal. He's an interim coach. You don't have to hire him full time, but.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's becoming, I think painfully obvious that we could end up in like John Gruden 2.0 with Jim Harbaugh where Antonio Pierce does this incredible job down the stretch. Everybody on the team wants him and Mark Davis is infatuated with the big name and I don't blame it. Like I think Jim Harbaugh is a great coach. He wins.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I coached at the 49ers for four years and went to three NFC championship games. Like I, and he's in the playoff for like the third show year. I have no problem going to get Jim Harbaugh. I just think Antonio Pierce, the job he did taking over this team, where they were mid season and to close the way that they did, somebody needs to look at hiring that guy as their head coach. I like it for each.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On the next NFL Monday QB with only a month left on the regular season calendar. The week 14 slate is filled with divisional rivalries. Go under center on the only NFL show all about quarterbacks. Monday on CBS Sports Network.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I do think that really the only takeaway you want to take from this, if you're a Lions fan, I think, is that you've got that kind of confidence boosting when knowing you can


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This was the Lions first win since 2013 in a game where they had four turnovers. So they had that one game in 10 years.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, when they turn the ball over four times. And so that's kind of what happens when, when crap hits the fan. What does your team do? They fold up? Uh, or do they come out and pull off a 12 point win?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then what we saw is that the Jared Goff we've seen all season. I mean, he threw for, uh, what? 236 yards in this game. 120 of that came in the fourth quarter. So more than half of his passing yards came in the fourth quarter. And the fact they won despite those three interceptions, I think says a lot about


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So that was my take ways they can win despite adversity.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I think I agree with you Brits, they might be the best team in the NFC or at least best shot at the number one seed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If only Detroit would have promoted him to head coach, maybe they would have, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I have Detroit. I think I agree with Brits. I know they're a game behind, but I feel like, uh, based on the schedules that I would give the Lions the nod as the favorite to end up with the number one overall seat. I mean with the Eagles play is just.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You got the Chiefs, the 49ers, the Seahawks, the Bills, the Cowboys, I mean...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's brutal. That is absolutely brutal. The Lions could literally be in a tie for first by Monday night, by the end of that game, if the Chiefs win. And then you look at the schedule. The Prince has already mentioned multiple times. It just favors the Lions. So, uh, yeah, 54, 46%.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not just in the AFC, but in the past years. I mean, their defense is so good, it doesn't matter who their quarterback is. And when I say that, this team has had three different starting quarterbacks win a game for them this year. That is just...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, so when your defense is so good that it doesn't matter who you put at starting quarterback, that really says a lot. I don't know how good I would feel.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Going into the playoffs, uh, with a quarterback who lacks experience, uh, but your defense can certainly carry you through the regular season and the Browns have that. The one thing I will say though, Wilson, is that how did you feel seeing Dorian Thompson Robinson, uh, outplay your boy Kenny Pickett?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As the person who I think is viewed as the most anti-Cleveland person on the podcast, I am, the Browns are 100% making the playoffs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] According to Breach Odds, it's 100% upshots wrong. Why don't you cite Wins Over Wilson or Brains Over Brenton or Breach Box? One of the three.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Win. That's a Florida team in Cleveland in December. That's a guaranteed win.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But, I think 10 and 7 gets them in. Even if you do think they go 10 and 7.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, but let's not forget, you know what the Browns did? They made the biggest move in the NFL on Sunday. They signed January Joe to their practice squad. He's going to carry the team when they get to January. That is Joe Flacco. Uh, for those of you who don't know, it hasn't been used in 10 years.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's tired of this sh, he's tired of this poop.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I thought I was, I thought you were gonna say like the Eagles, Chiefs and Bills.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If the, eh, as Brinson just said with the defense is that was a big reason why they were bad last year and they've turned it around so much this year that they are winning these games that CJ shroud can throw three interceptions. They can still win because of the defense. They can score zero points in the second half.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And still win because of the defense.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, as the guy who was forced to sit through all four quarters of bangles Texans last week. This wasn't the first CJ shroud meltdown game. He turned the ball over three times last week, which means he now has six turnovers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In two games. Maybe this is the rookie wall. I mean, this, that's what I, that's where I was going. He's hit the rookie wall, but they won both games. So it's not going to hurt them as much as, uh, it could have if they had lost both these games. So I think you just have your coaching staff kind of sit CJ down. Maybe CJ was reading his own press clippings this week. Like, Oh, CJ shrouds awesome. And he can make any throw anyone out there just, you know,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But rookie quarterback who has a little bit of a gunslinger mentality, that's not a great recipe for the postseason, but I do think they'll end up in the playoffs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I feel like what the Broncos are doing is unsustainable. You can't average four turnovers a game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's the thing, and so I just feel like teams, they're gonna go to a team that can run the ball. I don't know, maybe Cleveland, uh, or Texans who have Singletary going back to back 100 yard games in the past couple weeks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I just think teams like that are going to be able to run them over. But I mean, Hey, if you're a Broncos fan, it's one of those enjoy the ride Broncos country. Let's ride because this is good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, well, since every team in the playoffs is probably going to have a winning record in the AMC. That sounds like Steelers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A gigantic problem. Yeah, Dolphins fans should be cheering for the Steelers to make it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It would be, but it just, it definitely is a concern that this team still hasn't beaten a team with a winning record. I think when you see the second half of this game, as good as the defense played,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, which you guys mentioned, the bigger concern to me was that the Dolphins couldn't put the Raiders away. They were up 20 to 13. They had three different possessions where a field goal would have put the game away because you go up two scores, you go up double digits.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What did they do with those three possessions? Three and out, three and out, five plays and punt. I mean, they just couldn't do anything. And I know that Tyree Kill was a little bit banged up and they're dealing with a couple injuries, but you know, the injury situation doesn't get better as the season goes on. You just get more beat up. So to answer your question, Wilson,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I would be slightly concerned if I was a Dolphins fan and no, I'm not directly talking to Bruce or Harry, but you guys might win the Super Bowl.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't think the Seahawks are frauds. I think they are an interesting team and the Rams are just a horrible matchup. For some reason they cannot beat the Los Angeles Rams. They have now been swept by the Rams, but you look at the teams that they've lost to. They lost to the Bengals when that small span, when the Bengals were good, that really tiny window, uh, this season.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They got smoked by the Ravens, but they've beaten some good teams. They beat the Browns, they beat the Lions. So they've got some good wins on their resume. It's not like they're a team that can't beat teams with winning records. So I attribute this loss specifically to the fact that, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Gino Smith missed pretty much the entire fourth quarter except for the final minute. Uh, the CS only had 87 yards in the second half. They couldn't move the ball at all. And then the defense for whatever reason just decided, oh, Gino's out of the game. We're mentally out of the game because they gave up like 125 yards passing Matthew Stafford in the fourth quarter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was just kind of a total team meltdown.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They had a chance to run at least one more play to get the ball closer, but instead they decided to milk the clock down, call a running play with no timeouts, and then spike it, uh, which just, like, 55 yards is not a gimme to any kicker in the world outside of Justin Tucker, and Justin Tucker does not play for


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Seahawks. So you gotta, I just think that you gotta be smarter with that and try and get your kicker as close as possible. So it was just an all around debauchery by the Seahawks in the second half.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now the Rams game's out of the way. Just, we won't even talk about it. Just tell me what you think the record will be in the next four games. With Geno Smith banged up and possibly not playing even though they have two games in the next ten days. Uh, 49ers, Cowboys, 49ers, Eagles. What's the record?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, here was magic's tweet from today. Wow! Exclamation point.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My Washington commanders turned the ball over six times today and gave the Giants 24 points off turnovers. We lost 31-19.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, that sounds like someone who is not happy about what just happened. And the thing is, they lost even though they had nine sacks. They were the first team since 1984 to lose a game by double digits where they had nine sacks. Because doing would be impossible here. So, I don't think it's going to make it through the season.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let me just say they're four and seven. Their next two games are against the Cowboys and Dolphins and then they go into a bye week. Uh, I'm feeling four and nine going to that bye week and why not just tear the band-aid off.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The drops started on their very first drive on a fourth down when again, Justin Herbert threw a perfect pass to one Donald Parham drop.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, I just, at this point, is still a dead man walking. I mean, if they don't make the playoffs, he's probably gone too, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, that's what I'm gonna do. That's what I'm gonna do. Then you can make fun of my team and say there's a hundred percent chance they're gonna make it, even though you're not gonna agree with that on mine. Uh, I am gonna say the Browns get in because obviously I said they have a hundred percent chance of making it. Browns are in. Uh, I'm gonna put the Texans in. Six and four. I just feel like there is. You're just picking one team. Well, and can I get to my seventh seed?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My seventh seed is not the Buffalo Bills. Is that who you had? That's who we had, yep.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It is not Ryan's Pittsburgh Steelers. It can't be Gardner Mints, you can it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Third round pick Gardner mentioned, uh, here's what I would say. The Colts have the second easiest remaining schedule in three.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I do have three AFC South teams getting in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Colts are at 19% on the upshot by the way. Colts five and five, next four games are the Buccaneers, the Titans, uh, the Jake Browning Bengals, and Wilson Steelers. I mean, three in one worst case.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think you were going to say the Saints don't get in. And two of the wild card teams.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, now I think the teams that are currently in front in the division, Eagles, Lions, 49ers, Saints, all make it, I think the Cowboys make it at 5.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know what? The Falcons, I don't believe, play a single team for the rest of the season above 500.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. And, and last week, all hell broke was it looked like a brilliant prediction. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I thought about going special teams and I'm going with Brinton's best friend Brock Purdy. The man had a perfect


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] QB rating of 158.3. That is almost unheard of. You think of all the quarterbacking history that the 49ers have had with Joe Montana, with Steve Young. This has only happened one other time and it was with Montana. 1989.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, two other times, uh, Steve Young and Montana both did it in 89, but, uh, Steve Young came in relief and only threw 12 passes in the game. So we don't even, if you want to count just starting quarterbacks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Montana and Brock Purdy. That is a hell of a club to be in. So great game Brock Purdy. You're my Breach VP.

[Assistant] Wow, right? What a, what a weekend we had. Just looking at some of these trends, uhm, in the betting world. Dogs, six and six against the spread. Away teams, six and six against the spread. Away dogs, three and three against the spread. Overs, eight and four. Any big takeaways, Emery, uh, from week 10 of the NFL for you?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cheap punt price players, which Dray McBride has been a fun one. He was like a punt price a couple of weeks ago, and then, you know, Clayton Toon didn't really use him very much last week, so he dipped back down to be like $3,500. So that was a fun play for me yesterday. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright guys, let's start, uh, looking into week 11 now, starting with Thursday Night Football. This is a fun one! Finally! On Thursday night, the Bengals add the Ravens. This line is three and a half favoring the


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ravens, uh, right now, this total at, is that 45 and a half? Yep, 45 and a half.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Both the Bengals and the Ravens lost this weekend, which made the AFC North race a little bit more interesting, certainly tighter before week 10. All four teams were positioned to make the playoffs. That is no longer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As five and a half point favorites, they're now in last place of the division, which is just so funny because we've been talking about how dominant this team is and now they're actually out of the playoff picture as it stands right now. I don't expect that to continue. Raven still atop the standings, just one game ahead of the Steelers and the Browns.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As far as injuries, Cinci, likely without their top two edge rushers Thursday night, Sam Hubbard and Trey Hendrickson. Baltimore without left tackle, Ronnie Staley. Uh, Marlon Humphrey appears to have an Achilles strain, so he is day to day from a scouting standpoint. What are you looking for in this game, Emery?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're going over on a Thursday night in a primetime game. Unders have been historically hitting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're traveling all around North America, uh, scouting these guys, so certainly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Get yourself the football game plan comes out every single year, huh? Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Looking for a bounce back, the pack loss to the Steelers and the Chargers to the Lions, both as three point underdogs, uh, and pretty much the games closed in and around those numbers. Packers had two costly turnovers, uh, they weren't great in the red zone yesterday and the Chargers coughed up 533 total yards.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, yesterday, Keenan Allen appeared to have injured his shoulder, uh, converting that fourth third down, but, uh, he walked off and then he came back and then he still balled out in the game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This may be one where you root for some bad weather to make it a little bit more interesting. But Emory, how you feeling about this game?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Propstars, how do you evaluate Jordan Love, uhm, you know, just from a player prop or player perspective this year?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're, we're, we're not talking about this quite yet, but how about Jared Goff? I felt like Jared Goff had a great game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, yesterday, and I think he gets kind of a lot of disrespect. I know it was in a dome, uhm, but normally he doesn't play that well on the road, but I thought it was a great performance from Goff as well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, we'll get into Detroit a little bit later, but let's move on to the next game here. Titans at the Jags, Jags laying six. This total 40 and a half line has moved to six and a half. So almost a touchdown there for the Jags.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, let me just, let me just take a little sip out of my 49ers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Club here, tough, tough loss for the Jags. Uh, the Niners defense absolutely stifled them. Trevor Lawrence couldn't really get anything going, but the Titans also coming off a 20-6 loss to the Bucs. Will Levis, I think was humbled a little bit. His first two games starting out, he looked pretty good, but he just couldn't.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Get anything done, the Titans offense as a whole, generating only 209 total yards. Uhm, Jacksonville has won the most or the second or has won the two most, excuse me, has won the two most recent matchups against the Titans, uh, while the underdog in these matchups are 2-0 in the previous games. Uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'll start with you, prop stars, any props that you're looking at, and then I'll get to the scouting report from Emory.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And Emery, Jacksonville's defense has been one of the best defenses in the NFL. They came, you know, kind of a down game for them, obviously, in this last game. If you look at where both teams coming off of a buy, both the Niners and the Jags, the Niners really needed a buy because they needed to reset. And I feel like for the Jags, they had all of this momentum. So maybe taking a break right there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wasn't the best thing, but do you expect a defensive bounce back here?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it's gonna be an interesting one. Eileen Jags on this one as well. Looking at this total 40 and a half.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, another team that's going to be hard for them to sustain drives. The Raiders taking on the Dolphins.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Dolphin's laying ten and a half right now. That number has stayed there this total. 47.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And a half. Look, I know that I am a longstanding Jimmy Garoppolo apologist, but I do not believe, after what we saw last night, that Aidan O'Connell is necessarily better than Jimmy Garoppolo. Yes, I know that Jimmy


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Leads the league in interceptions when he's missed a few games there. But if you look at his other metrics, they're not that bad. Yes, they still pulled off the win last night against the Jets, but that was because Zach Wilson is just as inept as Aiden O'Connell is. Curious what you think, Emery, about this situation. Obviously, when they came off,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know that this was that great of a win. Do you think that Aidan O'Connell is their best chance at winning?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, and Ah-chan. Ah-chan, thank god my fantasy team needs him. He's been, oh my god, I'm so excited for him to come back. What do you think in props?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] from everybody here. Thanks so much Harry for joining us for a second moving on to the next game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cowboys, uh, also laying 10 and a half. We'll see if that line has changed. This total 41 and a half versus the Panthers. Yes, we are still at this line. Cowboys, absolutely.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Embarrassed, Tommy DeVito and the Giants 49 to 7. I was surprised the Giants put up 17, to be honest. I was actually shocked.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They were able to get 17, but they still didn't score as much as the spread was, which ended at 17 and a half. This is one where we talked about it on the Monday odd show and then on the Thursday show, it opened up at 15 and a half. We're like, this is one of those ones get now because it's probably going to go up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What is the, what is the best path for the Panthers offense right now?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is not a team that, that is afraid to run up the score too. So I would lay this 10 and a half. I feel like this could change as well. Props, what do you think on the prop side?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let me ask you guys this. Proppy from a prop perspective and, um, Emery from a running back perspective. What's going on with Tony Pollard? Two rushing touchdowns in the first week against the Giants and then zero every week since.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do you think he will find success this season? No, no.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, so fantasy managers, you might want to get rid of them. You might want to offload him and, uh, clear up some, uh, some space for that. Guys, we are going to take a quick break here when we return. We will talk more early lanes for week 11 of the NFL season. Also stick around because we will have our anticipation plays coming up next.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Welcome back everyone to the Pick 6 Podcast. Mox, Hunt, and Selznick here, and it is time for our


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This Anticipation Plays segment is brought to you by Fandal Sportsbook. Make every moment more. If we take a look at last week's, uhm, Alex had the Ravens at five and a half. He said it was gonna close closer to six and a half. Where did that end up closing?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Six and a half on the money. I had the Bears and Panthers under 40 said it was going to close at 38 and it closed at 38 and still hit the unders. That's two for two. Emory Broncos seven and a half, four and a half. Where'd that close?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, and then Brinson had the Cardinals at plus one and a half said it would go to minus one. I'm not sure where that one, uhm, ended, but let's talk anticipation plays for today. Where are you taking a summary?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, so you guys are picking two close games uhm, that you think will be more like un-picking.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm thinking a higher one. Give me the Niners, uh, minus 10 and a half. It opened at 10 quickly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] raised up to 10 and a half. The way that this 49ers defense is playing


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, we did think we joked about the Cowboys going from 15 to 17, but we do know that these, these lines can move. So I definitely think that the 49ers is one to get on now because it is already on the move.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This Anticipation Play segment has been brought to you by Fandel Sportsbook. Make every moment more. Moving on, let's talk Cardinals at Texans. Texans laying four and a half.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This total 47 and a half. It is the battle of the fun and frisky teams.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] CJ Stroud versus the Bengals. I mean, come on now, 356 yards, one touchdown, one interception.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And Kyler Murray, how about that two minute drill at the end of the game for Kyler Murray? An 11 play, 70 yard drive to beat Atlanta. I will still lay these points with the Texans, although could be a little bit of a let down spot, right? Because we've been climbing, climbing, climbing with these Texans. They could just slip up a little bit. Emory, what do you think?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let me ask you, should he be in the conversation for MVP? Cause that's what I'm hearing right now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, let's move on to another big matchup in the AFC North. Steelers at Browns, Browns Lang, four here, this total 38 and a half. Look headline was five and a half, so a little bit of line movement there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] These teams have the same record at six and three, but one of these things is not like the other. Okay. I don't know how the Steelers have this record, but here we are and the Browns.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, they look like they didn't stand a chance against Baltimore in that first quarter. And then of course things changed after that. Uh, the Browns Pro Bowl cornerback Denzel Ward was ruled out of the game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With a neck injury, Steelers are going to be without Quan Alexander. Unfortunately, he tore his Achilles and the Keon O'Neil, um, suffered a rib injury and Deontay Johnson with a thumb, but he ended up coming back in the game. What are you thinking about this one, Emory?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They are honest with themselves internally. I think they're aware that Kenny Pickett maybe. There was uhm, in the Pick 6 group chat, I believe it was Ryan Wilson said that he has now convinced himself that Josh Dobbs is actually the best quarterback that the Steelers have drafted.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, it looks like, I don't understand how they have this record, but again, I don't know what Mike Tomlin has done.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, let's move on to this one. I don't think we got to spend a time. Oh, here we go. Best record through nine games. Okay. Yep. There it is. Pittsburgh Steelers. It's just...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's crazy. Pittsburgh 6-3, Washington 4-5, and the Colts 3-6. Other 19 teams to get outgained in each of the first nine games had two or fewer wins. Talking about a team with two or fewer wins, this Giants team taking on the Commanders.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, commanders are nine and a half point favorites, this total 36 and a half. I just don't even know if the giants are worth talking about at this point. Tommy DeVito has no business.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Being a quarterback in the NFL, now they don't have any other choices.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I'll go ahead and take these points of the commanders. Anything from you, Emory.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the giants are not. We are going to take a quick break here. More early lanes for week 11 when we come back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the NFC North, the Bears at the Lions. This is a 10.5 point line now. This total 46.5. Let's see if it has stayed there. No, it's gone, it's gone from 8.5 to 9.5 now, uh, 10.5 to 10.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So the Lions look really good. They are 7 and 2. They are sitting atop the NFC North. Uhm, currently positioned as the number 2 seed in the NFC. The Bears in last place of the division.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Justin Fields, also Khalil Herbert and Tremaine Edmonds, uhm, all three of those could return this week. What do you think Annemarie?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is, is this an anticipation play? Are you anticipating that Fields is back so maybe you grab this right now? If you think he's gonna play, grab it now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Props, talk to me about Jameer Gibbs, cause we've, we've talked about it on this show week after week and how he's being utilized and, and


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] People unhappy with it. I felt like finally Montgomery and Gibbs were like a tandem and they both balled out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Moving on to my favorite game of the week, the Buccaneers at the 49ers. Niners laying 10 and a half at home. This total 41 and a half. It was 42, so it's already starting to tick down and rightfully so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the reason why I like the 49ers in this spot is the defense. And honestly, shout out to Steve Wilkes, right? Took a lot of criticism, had a rough three games, and uh, he made the adjustments that need to be made. Obviously, Chase Young with Nick Bosa is


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Made a huge difference as far as the pressure that they created up front. It was great to see both of them, uhm, get in on a sack. Five sacks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Five sacks, two picks from the 49ers this last week. Baker Mayfield, again, like has a penchant to turn the ball over here and there. I just think this game's gonna get ugly. I like the 49ers in this spot based on the defense alone. Emory, what do you think?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But he's not on the sideline though. And honestly, as a 49ers fan, you love to see it because we're used to Robert Sala where he had to be like held back on the sideline and D'Amico Ryan's down there too. And it just, I think that this is a defense that thrives off of energy and I do, I think it makes a difference that he was down there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, oh, this week. Yep. Prop stars. Anything you're looking at for this game. Christian McCaffrey, of course, did not get.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wonder if that will help his odds for getting a touchdown. I'll be curious to see what his anytime looks like for the next game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, our team that's not rolling very much. The Jets are taking on the Bills. Bills laying seven. The Bills play tonight, uh, Monday night against the Broncos. So we may see some movement in this line. Propstars, uhm, you're high on Dalton Kincaid, which I'm happy about because he's on my fantasy team.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Anything from you, Emory. I know you don't have any big input here, but any reason to back the Jets in this spot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Peace. Okay, moving on to the Seahawks, laying one and a half at the Rams. Rams coming off a bye. Uh, this is always an interesting, you know, NFC West kind of match up here. I know that you're both pretty high on the Seahawks. So I'll start with you, Emery. Is this a game that you would lay this one and a half?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Josh Dobs, 312 yards and two touchdowns in the Vikings win. Dobs actually became the first player in NFL history to amass 400 passing yards, 100 rushing yards, and no interceptions in his first two games with the team. That's according to ESPN stats.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'll go ahead and take this one and a half points with the Vikings. They're just, they're too much fun to watch right now. What do you think Emory?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think it will be too, and into your point, the defense has gotten better, but Propstar's Gervonta Williams has been pretty impressive in his return, hasn't he?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I agree. And look, Sean Payton started off pretty slow, but to your point, Emory, this Broncos team over the last couple of weeks is starting to finally get it together. And I think that has to do with having a coach like Sean Payton.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Fellas, this was fun. Thanks for joining us today. That is going to do it for our show. Thank you for listening in. Make sure you join us all week for more NFL coverage tomorrow. Will Brinson is back. He is joined by Breach.

[Assistant] It's the Fixings Podcast and this is Sunday Night Super Friends.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For reasons that remain unclear to me since he lives in Tennessee. That of course is Will Branson. He even dyed his hair gray and his beard.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, yeaah, I don't like to get off on the side early, but Breach, I would suggest you take some advice from Robert Sala and dye your beard jet black.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Come on, Robert, you're not fooling anyone. All right, that's Will Bredson, that's Jon Breach, I'm of course Brian Wilson. This is the Sunday Night Super Friends Week 10 Recap, 2023 edition.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So here's the plan in case you're new here, gonna hit our top 10 takeaways from week 10.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The wild finishes, the crazy upsets, the five kickers that made game winning kicks for the first time since wind breach.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's never, this never happened on a single day. So we'll talk about all that more.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, first things first though. Remember, give us a little thumbs up if you're watching us on the YouTubes at NFL on CBS. And of course subscribe wherever you get your podcasts so you never miss a show. All right. It is go time folks. April.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Bookends were due to the in-between, the filling of the Oreo was fantastic. Like the Sunday night game were, they're not even worthy of being the cookie part of the Oreo. They're just the, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. It's like you dropped the Oreo in the toilet, but somehow the creamy filling stayed clean. That's the analogy I was looking for. All right. Speaking of toilets, let's go to Cincinnati because things got ugly. Uh, Breach, we'll talk about your bingles in a second, but here's what I would say to you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] CJ Stroud looks like the best rookie quarterback in human history.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As a Bengals fan, I want to ask you, what did it feel like watching CJ?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Outboro, Joe Burrow in Cincinnati in November when Joe Burrow never loses.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So the Texans are currently seventh in the playoff race, which means they're on the inside looking out at five and four. The Bengals and the Bills are also five and four, but the conference losses have them behind Houston and


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't want to get too far, we're in week 10, but the wild card teams right now, the Steelers, the Browns, and the Texans. I think the Texans are staying where they are and the Cincinnati Bengals and Buffalo Bills will have to make their case. Breeze, let me ask you this, and you can also dap up Matt, the brother of Danny Amendola for coming in for Kai Fairbairn and beginning the cavalcade of kickers winning field goals.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Talk to me about the interception that CJ threw, only his second of the year, I believe, late in the game that almost resulted in a pick six and then they scored and then Tyler Boyd dropping the ball. Like what are the chances that happens in the three-party question?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Did Joe Burrow take a step back? I mean, we know who Joe Burrow is, but he didn't have the dagger in his eyes approach that we saw in San Francisco.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I don't feel like it was a trap game or whatever you want to call it because


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, but you know what? I've learned our lesson. We said, and I was one of these people, and the guy below me was, sit down Joe Burrell until he's ready to go. Just play him. I said, yeah. Throw him out there and see what happens. Either way.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let's, let's go through this, uh, just quickly and, and we'll continue this conversation. But the Ravens lost in humiliating fashion.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Bengals lost the game, they probably should have won. The Jaguars lost in humiliating fashion too, re-quote.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Breach quoting, for instance, they got curb stomped at home. And then you have the Texans playing out of their minds. The AFC North, I think it's still going to be Breach's team and the Ravens. But to your point, Brinson,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Texas are hanging out there. If they have a legit MVP candidate quarterback and


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I want to circle back to that. Let's go there. So Brynson, I'll ask you this cause uh, buddy Pete Prisco and Danny Cannell were on set at CBS Sports HQ last week. Danny said CJ was a top 10 quarterback before this game last week when he threw for 450 and five touchdowns or whatever it was. And of course Pete pushed back. He's a top 10 quarterback.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Two part question. And so Breach's question is one, my one a is who's better in the division, Trevor or CJ?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so, uh, did you say you have the Texans winning the, oh, you're saying Jaguars. I'm going, I'm going Texans and Coleridge, Bernard, Stroud the 4th for my.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Coleridge Bernard Stroud the fourth. No seat, no Jay in the name, which makes it even awesomer. There's, is there Jay? It's wild.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're fun to watch and nothing else. And to, to Brent's point earlier, it's, that was a great 1 PM and even 4, 4 PM slated game. So, uh, sorry you lost Breach. That was a fun, a fun game for CJ for sure in the Texas. All right, moving on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, uh, for instance, we'll come back to, uh, your favorite player, Christian McCaffrey.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh yea, it was like the homecoming game where the senior comes back because he broke his leg in week one and we're gonna give him a touchdown because he's never gonna play again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let me, let me put it this way though. So just to get to producer Harry's sort of punchline here, uh, he claims, and I think I agree with him. I want to hear what you guys think. The Healthy 49ers are still the best team in the NFL and I would take it a step further. Turns out Trent Williams and Debo Samuel are pretty important.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Was never under the impression that Brock Pardee was turning back into a pumpkin. I think the concussions at the end of the game against Zior Bengals was one thing. I thought he played well right before the bye in the game. They lost at the end of the three game losing streak and then he got concussed at the end of that game. It wasn't official, but I'm just looking at the true media numbers here for a EPA per drop back, uh, expected points added.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Brock was third on Sunday behind Dak Prescott who threw four million yards against the Giants and Jared Goff who threw for five million yards against the Chargers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Where are you on Brock Purdy and where are you on producer Harry?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, absolutely. And where are you on the idea that the 49ers, when healthy, are pretty much unbeatable?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I will say though, just quickly in, um, Brock's defense, or as Joe Musso, our buddy and colleague has now coined him, Glock Purdy, which I sort of love.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's uh, he's all a blazin' or whatever, something, that, that's sort of the, the...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The defense sucked against the Vikings. Steve Wilkes basically had to apologize for that touchdown they gave up at the end of the first half to Jordan Addison. And you can attest, Breach, they no-show it against Joe Burrow, who was pinpoint precise last week. So that hasn't helped when the stars go down on the other side of the ball. That said, but as Brenton noted, if they were alternating,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let me ask you about Trevor Lawrence because he did not play well. And yeah, they were getting after it and he had some, some questionable interceptions. The one that he, the laser that he threw, I think the ATN that was intercepted by Ufanga.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, was problematic and he just seemed off and maybe that's the defense and the defense is back to former San Francisco. Are there any lingering concerns about the Trevor not being franchise quarterback consistency for instance? Are we okay?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This game was a non-stop thrill ride.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It really was. And I was laughing. I just chuckled there because I was actually thinking to you, Britson, as that game ended, because I would imagine you would have some sort of tangential revenge game for Jared Goff going back to Los Angeles and beating the team that shares the stadium with the team that traded in Detroit for Matthew Stafford. Uh, Brits, uh, Breech, I'll ask you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, Lions were rolling in this game. It was 17 to three early in the second quarter. And then I would imagine you had the same thought that I did. Okay. This game is going to end 50 to three. Nope.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, Justin Herbert quit throwing in completions and sky mailing the ball and started looking like Justin Herbert, who has 10 good fingers. I love the idea that his bat is the reason he's struggling with the consistency is because the finger was starting hands broken, but whatever. Uh, he started playing better. Keenan, Keenan Allen was doing Keenan Allen things without Josh Palmer. Of course, Mike Williams is out. Quentin Johnson started making plays. Um,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What does this mean for the lions though? Cause it feels like the lions, and by the way, let me say this quickly. Cause I mentioned this on HQ about Dan Campbell.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Dan Campbell, what I said when he was hired was I would run through a wall for him. I don't know if he can coach or not. Turns out in game coaching, he is one of the best in the NFL. Yep. Like one of the best. And I love the decision to go for it on fourth and two at the end of the game, instead of pulling a Tomlin and running a football losing five yards and then kicking a 50 yard field goal and giving a minute and a half to the other team with Justin Herbert.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Goes for it, kicks the field goal as time expires. Another one of the breach kick memories that happened in week 10. It's a breach I'll ask you. Lines are super bowl material, correct?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let me ask you this. I'll put the over-under losses at two and a half. What are you taking?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, wrong, the Steelers played the Super Bowl there in 2005. By the way, quickly, uh, Tracy Wolfson, I was watching the post game from, from HQ. Tracy Wolfson talked to Jared Goff about the fourth down that you were talking about earlier, Brinson, and he said twice on air. He says, I don't know if I can say this, but Dan Campbell's got balls. That was ballsy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And Tracy just laughs, which is sort of funny. Number one and number two, and Brenton, you talked about the fan base finally having a chance to enjoy success.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It goes to show you how quickly things can turn around if you hire the right people and get the right people in place. Like no one...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On planet earth outside of Brad Holmes and maybe even Jerry Goff thought that Jerry Goff was going to work out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It is worked out. But more importantly, they drafted like crazy. They'd hit home run after her and in the draft. They got the right guy in Dan Campbell. And it's sort of the same thing that happened.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We were crapping all over the Texans the last two and a half years. Once Cesario got there, after Bill O'Brien left, they kept firing, uh, head coaches, Lovey Smith and the guy who before him, whose name I can never remember, the guy from the Ravens, old timer coach, David Colley, just running those guys out of town. They got the right guy in D'Amico Ryan's. They got their quarterback. So,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, and uh, the Lions reeled off eight or nine wins or something crazy down the second half of last season and it's leaked into this year. They have, they are 15 and four in their last 19 games. The only team with a better record is the Chiefs. And there might be one other team that's has just three losses, but that tells you how well they're playing unless you're Breach who thinks they're going to lose to Seattle in the first round of the class. Speaking of Breach, going to Minnesota Breach.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Josh Dobbs, if the Lions are the best story in the NFL over the course of the season, Josh Dobbs is the best story the last two weeks. Yep, no doubt about it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Kyle Murray actually played pretty well. I don't think we're going to talk about Kyle tonight, but he actually played pretty well in his debut. And that's a conversation. Actually, we're going to talk about him. I think that's a conversation for, for a little bit later here, but Josh Dobbs, uh, aeronautical engineer, graduated the 4.0 from Tennessee, showed up on five days rest. He talked about it last week.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, he is so fun. He is so athletic. He's so smart. So I was listening to the Chase, uh, um, Chase Daniel talk about this on the athletic podcast yesterday.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he said, it's great. He's so good. He was saying that he went back and watched the Josh jobs first performance last week when he was called into action on five days notice. And he could tell that basically what was happening is that, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Kevin O'Connell was in his ear before the shot clock went off at 15 seconds telling him, all right, on this side, throw a slant flat on this side.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, and Derek Carr didn't remember anything, Breeze, because he got knocked out of the game and had to leave on a cart. But go ahead, Josh Dobbs. By the way, quickly, five and oh, that's without JJ. Two and a half and oh without, when, when Kurt going down.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Who is your world part that has a chance to make it? I think there's only one team.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, okay. I think the South champion is the other, maybe the seventh seed. Right, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right. And by the way, Kevin O'Connell, fantastic coach, and we were sort of probably giving him short shrift. Kevin, uh, Kevin, Kirby Cousins, Kurt Cousins has been playing out of his mind. Unfortunately, he got hurt. Also Brian Flores. We were getting on him about blitzing like a crazy person. It's actually starting to work. He's got to talk to the defense.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, Kevin O'Connell, he'll sell you a great set of tires and coordinate up your offense like nobody's business.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What a good stories today on the old rundown. Good job, producer Harry. We're going to take a quick break. When we come back, we're going to talk about the best story, probably in the last 40 years of football, the Pittsburgh Steelers are somehow a six win team and inside the playoff bubble right after this.

[Assistant] Kenny Pickett struggled again, um, that, I mean, that's sort of who he is, right? And Matt Canada is now on the bench. He's two and on the bench, which is sort of hysterical. I saw a new, there's some friction between Steelers fans on Twitter because some of them are pro Pickett and some of them are anti-Pickett, which is typically the case with a quarterback who's not.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hit in all cylinders and I saw a new coinage for people who support picket through thick and thin and their call.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Pick idiots, which I thought was pretty funny. Like you just stand up for picket no matter what.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Whatever. Pickett's still figuring it out. He's not playing great. He's playing mid as the kids say. But here's some craziness that is hard to wrap your brain around.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, so the Steelers is a 63, which is crazy in itself. They've been outgained in nine straight games. They've won nine straight games in one score games. And it basically, if you think of that as like a 50-50 proposition, that's basically saying I'm going to flip heads nine straight times in a row.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I can't do the calculation right now, but it's two to the ninth power. So whatever that is, if you want to put it into your Google machines, that's the probability of winning nine straight games by one score, basically coin flip.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm not crazy about all of Tomlin's in-game decisions, but I think the reason this team is six and three is because he is such a great coach. Like if he had the motivational side, he has that down pat. But if he had the Dan Campbell side of in-game management, this team would be undefeated and beat every team 50 to nothing instead.

[Assistant] This is the 19th win without scoring 25 plus points in the past three seasons tied for most in any three year span since 2000. So Brenton, is it sustainable? Because I mean, Magic Beans or not, it seems sustainable. They keep, we keep saying no and they keep winning. And the other question is, is this a playoff team?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The fact that I make the playoffs, I feel like it feels like a Super Bowl win as far as I'm concerned. Reggie, you got anything before we move on?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I mean, Steve Wilkes had to be down on the field and that worked out for them as well. I mean, they went crazy on the Jaguar. So maybe there's something to that. Uh, all right. Let's go to the Seahawks where.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't understand what happened in that game. I, I was watching it out of the side, sort of side eye watching that thing. And, um, Gino's numbers look pretty good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So maybe the commanders and Sam Howler just sort of turned the corner. I think he had three touchdowns, no interceptions. He did a fumble. He's, he's good for one turnover and you know, a game. But let me ask you this. Eugene Seidel Smith is my guy, the third.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Two weeks ago, the Seahawks were in first place because the 49ers were on that three game losing skid. And now they're a playoff team, wild card, but I do not feel great about them. Rensen, is this a playoff team? Are the Seahawks scary? Should we be concerned about them if you're a team in the NFC having to face them?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're stalling out once they get inside the 30ish, but you look at the, like the way they're playing, they're, they're not like, Gina's still playing at a high level. He's doing some things that you can get behind that, you know, DK had a big afternoon. Uh, let me look real quick. Gina was.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So he was, he was first on, on the weekend in terms of completions over 10 yards. Fourth, um, excuse me, ninth in terms of completions over 20 yard and 13th in explosive plays for that offense. So yeah, to your point.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I would like to point out, by the way, that I don't want to mention the fact that Matt Crowe was my QB1 that year. Sam Howell was my QB2. So let's focus on that part of it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Tyler Murray came back and he looked like he had two 100% healthy knees. He was running around like a crazy person, ripped off a long run in that game, uh, made some, some rushing touchdown and, uh, the question.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Especially compared to Shane Steichen, they both came from Philly. One was the OC, Shane was, DC was Gannon. Gannon's got that team playing hard and they're winning football games with all sorts of guys at quarterback. We've seen Josh Dobbs play, Clayton Toon almost got killed last week in the nine sacks that he took in the Browns game. Then of course Kyler came back and looked pretty good. I think this is a trial for Kyler.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And if they, they currently have the fourth pick, they're not getting the quarterback there. So if Kyler works out, you feel okay about him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then you roll with them next year. The fourth pick you can pull a, a bears and trade down and get a ton of picks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You can stay put and if you stay put, you may have a chance at Marvin Harrison.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because the two quarterbacks didn't go early. You may have to move up a spot to get Marvin, um, unless there's a team wants to tackle or something.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Kyler Murray, I'll put it to you this way.
