And we have, what else is that up there that I can't see?
Okay, both the koozies.
Okay. All right, guys, let the koozies. Okay.
All right, guys, let's get into this game because Saquon Barkley went off.
26 carries, Ocho.
255 yards, two touchdowns.
That's the most rushing yards in a single game in Eagles history.
That's the ninth most rushing yards in NFL history.
He had two runs of 70 or more yards. He has
that kind of ability. That's what
you get when you get a Saquon.
And if you ask me, and
you're asking me, this team
looks better than the team that went
to the Super Bowl because of
2-6 in the backfield. If you look at
their defense, you look at that defensive line,
you look at Jalen Carter, you
look at Sweat, you look at William. You look at that defensive line. You look at Jalen Carter. You look at Sweat.
You look at William.
You look at Brandon Graham.
They could attack.
They're attacking the quarterback.
They don't give up nearly the big plays that they gave up last year.
They don't give up nearly the points that they gave up last year.
And running backs, let me give you something.
I'm going to fill you in on something.
I don't know if you watch film or not.
But when 17 comes, you better go to him because he's going to sit you on your ass.
If you sit there and try to catch him,
he's going to run you over.
You better close the distance. Let me tell you something.
I don't know if your running back coach has told you this.
You better shut down the distance.
You let him get ahead of steam
and you try to catch him, he's going to sit you in the quarterback's lap.
Close the distance.
Don't give him a two-way go and sell out.
That's the only way.
But if you let him get ahead of steam and you try to catch him,
he's going to sit you in the quarterback's lap.
Ocho, the Eagles look really, really good.
They look really good for the very simple reason.
Defense is playing much better.
A.J. Brown is still him.
They got guys that can make the tight ends
are really good but it's 2-6
he's a difference maker
but did you see what they did Ocho?
Jalen Hurst
threw the ball 22 times
they ran it 45
now I know another team
that got a very similar situation
but they want to do the flip
you can go get the guy you can go get your quarterback the MVP and be home They got a very similar situation. But they want to do the flip.
You can go get the guy.
You can go get your quarterback, the MVP, and be home.
Or you can have an opportunity to be playing in the Super Bowl.
The choice is yours.
Take off, Ocho.
What did you like about what you saw with the Eagles?
Obviously, when you're running the ball like they did tonight,
when Saquon is doing what he's doing, hitting his head off the goal pole,
two runs of 70 yards or better, you don't have to throw the ball that much. You know, you have to you have to dish it as much as you can to keep A.J. Brown happy, keep the tight end happy,
you know, still run your offense. But it takes so much pressure off Jalen Hurts when Saquon
Barking can do some of the things he does. And listen, every time we come on here, we talk about
Saquon Barking and what he's been able to do this season. I always come back and ask you and say the same thing every time.
What the fuck with the giant?
Oh, shoot.
I'm sorry.
My bad.
Oh, Joe.
Saquon was going to be Saquon.
He couldn't do this because their quarterback isn't Jalen Hurts.
You need a competent guy because I'm going to stack the box.
See, I can't stack the box with Hurts because I got you still got the AJ
and you have Devontae who was out.
And I got Jalen Hurts who's a competent quarterback
who can throw the ball. So Saquon
is going to be Saquon. Don't get me wrong.
So don't people that way.
Listen to what I'm saying. He can't
be this effective because
they're going to stack the box
because I don't believe your quarterback can beat
me. I believe Saquon can beat me.
Now, what do you do, Ocho?
You play a light box, he's going to go for 255.
Right.
You play eight, try to sneak somebody down there.
Now you got AJ working one-on-one.
You got Devontae working one-on-one.
And you got the tight end, Goddard.
And you got the other tight end.
So you can't do that.
But he's going to beat Ocho. You know he's on pace to break the NFL
record. He's not on pace to run for
21-51. The NFL
record is 21-05.
That's how good he is.
He's been
everything.
I know they thought they was going to get this kind of guy
because he has something to prove. He's like, oh, y'all
don't want me? Well, let me go on and take
this 1,500, 1,600 yards.
I'll take it on the Philly.
Listen, you got to understand. You know he has that
kind of chip on his shoulder. For one, you don't want to pay me.
Not only that. Not only do you not
want to pay me, your franchise tagged me, and you
let me, and you're basically telling me, you know,
we don't think you have any value
to us, especially for a long-term contract.
He definitely got a chip on his goddamn
shoulder. He definitely do. on the back on the back on the back end of that i don't think
the eagles defense is playing so well last year remember they started 10 and 1 yes the previous
season and then i don't know what happened the goddamn barrel fell out the goddamn bottom
the bottom of the barrel fell out last last year deep from a defensive perspective as far as
tackling big plays this year is completely
different they're playing completely different i'm not sure what they're doing different
defensively as far as the play calls are play calls are concerned obviously they're new pieces
new pieces to the book that are part of their defense but with saquon barkley i think they
have an opportunity probably to get back probably to to get back to the Super Bowl, especially if they go on a playoff run.
They got to go through the Lions.
Yeah, yeah.
That's the one problem.
But again, Saquon Barkley takes so much pressure off of Jalen Hurst, man.
He's having a phenomenal season.
Phenomenal season.
Vic Fangio, who's the new DC, is doing a great job.
Vic likes to play cover
two well you can play cover two when you got those dogs you got the front seven that can start to run
and your safety don't have to get involved so you don't have to sacrifice your back end
and so now you got carter you got sweat you got graham you got williams you got davis you got a
defensive line that's dominated jaylen car didn't have a sack tonight, but you saw
the constant double team. Now
you get Sweat gets one-on-one.
Now you get Graham gets one-on-one.
You get Williams, who had two sacks. He
gets one-on-one. Davis is hogging up
and doing a great job of taking on blockers
in the running game.
Kobe Dean is all over the field.
Zach Braun, who's a name that
he's not inherited. He doesn't get mentioned
like Fred Warner or B-Wags.
But that joker.
Watch him.
When you watch the Eagles, tell me 53
don't jump off the tape at you. Tell me he don't
jump off the tape. Damn.
The greatest compliment I can give
him, Ocho, that's a hard play in Jesse.
Man,
boy, he's all over the field. He's all over the field. That's a hard play in Jesse. Man, boy, he's all over the field.
He's all over the field. That's a hard
play in Jesse. Yeah, I like that.
But this team,
in my eyes, they look
better than the team because they got
26. The team that went to the Super Bowl
and they ended up losing, they played really
well. This team looks better
because of 2-6.
They got a guy now, you can hand him the ball
and he can hit his head on the goalpost from anywhere on the field.
Anywhere.
And you can give it to him 25, 30 times.
And if you give it to him that many times, he's going to get you 120, 150.
As we saw tonight, 255.
And he made it look easy.
Now, he was playing without one of the best B receivers in football in Devontae.
AJ, you know what AJ is.
He's a big physical receiver that can play through contact,
tremendous run after the catch, and he's a lot faster than you think
because he can get behind you.
The Eagles look better to my eyes than what they look
when they won the super bowl yeah and i'm in you know the most most important part the most
important part for me not really for me but them is how you're gonna look and how you're gonna play
on the back half of the season after thanksgiving can it be healthy bingo we've seen davante getting
it he's out hamstring we saw aj miss some time hamstring
can they be healthy because that's what it is at some point time ojo you know as it gets later in
the season it becomes the war of attrition who what team is the healthiest maybe not the best
team which team has the better health and that's all that matters because if you start losing key
players at the most inopportune of times,
it's hard to beat these top-tier teams.
The likelihood of you beating the Lions without one of your two best players,
the likelihood of you beating the Eagles without one of your two best players,
or Green Bay, we're starting to see Green Bay start to get it going, Ocho.
So the NFC is about to get really, really interesting.
We saw the AFC.
We see Buffalo. We see Kansas interesting. We saw the AFC. We see Buffalo.
We see Kansas City.
We see Bemore, Pittsburgh, even though they had a tough loss on Thursday.
The Chargers, hey, don't discount the Chargers.
Hey, you saw my Broncos, huh?
Hey, don't look that.
Don't look that.
Don't look.
No, no, no, don't do that.
Don't do that.
What team did you just say?
Broncos.
My Broncos. Oh. They was all right. What team did you just say? Broncos. My Broncos.
Oh.
They was all right.
The Bengals, we on the bye week.
The only way y'all don't lose.
That's the only way you can't lose.
You on the bye.
And the bye took y'all to overtime.
I'm just saying.
Man, but the Eagles look good, Ocho.
The Eagles look really good.
They got after the Rams
they got after Stafford
they sacked him five times
Kyron Williams had a costly
turnover early
but look this was about the eagles
this wasn't about the Rams because I think
the Rams are okay
the D.O. thought they had a chance to get to the Super Bowl
I never thought that because I didn't think
they didn't have enough depth on either side of the football inside.
Yeah. OK.
Listen, before before before you go like that rim defense,
they got them two rookies versus Fisk on the real deal.
Who? Which one? Verse. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. The number zero. He ran slap on my lot.
My lot of 6'8", 3'3", 3'40".
Listen, I know they might have lost tonight.
Them two rookies from Florida State,
verse and fist are the real deal.
Oh, yeah.
They popped out on film all year long.
Now, I know it didn't do any justice tonight
based on what the Eagles and Saquon were able to do,
but they're going to be all right.
As far as winning the Super Bowl, maybe not this year.
And I don't know what they're going to do offensively,
especially with Cup and Puka.
You would think because once they got back healthy,
it would give you an opportunity to challenge or compete in the NFC,
but it just hasn't panned out that way,
even though both of those dudes are healthy they got some promise on that they got some promise on
that goddamn defense i'll tell you that yeah versus number eight excuse me i said zero number
eight i think the biggest thing is also um the offensive line it's hard i mean you give him a
little time i mean sometime i ain't said you got to give him all day. Right, right, right.
I mean, as soon as he go back, his back foot hit.
Somebody hit him in the back of the head.
Brandon Graham left this game.
So it's going to be interesting to see.
Do we have a – what his injury update is?
Because, see, that's a pass rusher.
That's a guy that can put pressure one-on-one when they're doubling Carter
or they try to kick the protection to sweat.
Here's a guy that can win one-on-one. Williams can win one-on-one. All these guys can win one-on-one. they're doubling Carter or they try to kick the protection of Sweat. Here's a guy that can win one-on-one.
Williams can win one-on-one. All these guys
can win one-on-one. You can't double everybody.
No. And you can't constantly
keep your tight end and your back end to block.
We don't have an update on Brandon Graham,
but hopefully it's something that's
not very serious. Ocho,
Saquon had 302 total
yards tonight. The Giants had
245 today.
We're going to talk about this, Ojo.
Yeah.
Malik neighbors.
Malik neighbors said, hey, it wasn't a quarterback because you saw.
Different quarterback, same results.
Wait, he said that for?
Yeah.
Uh-oh, he hot.
They got the rookie hot over there, boy.
Yeah.
Put the ball in the man's hands, man.
Yeah, we don't know.
Hopefully, but before we leave,
we can give you an update on Brandon Graham's injury.
I don't want to report what's big, you know,
what the fans are jumping in the chat and saying.
So hopefully, if there's something bad,
well, somebody, Adam Schefter or somebody will report, or maybe even the Eagles when Nick Ceriani steps to the podium.
Oh, Brandon Graham is out for the season.
Tori's tricep.

In the fall of 1986, Ronald Reagan found himself at the center of a massive scandal
that looked like it might bring down his presidency.
Did you make a mistake in sending arms to Tehran, sir?
No. No one was let go. It arms to Tehran, sir? No.
It became known as the Iran-Contra affair.
And I'm not taking any more questions in just a second.
I'm going to ask Attorney General...
I'm Leon Nafok, co-creator of Slow Burn.
In my podcast, Fiasco, Iran-Contra,

Muhammad Ali was never afraid to express himself loudly and boldly and stays true to form in Ali and Me,
an eight-part Audible original.
Guided by his own words,
this series explores Ali's life and legacy through never-before-heard audio recordings
and discussions with those who knew him best.
Muhammad had this real sense
of his own personal values and principles,
things he believed in, his own sense of conviction,
those convictions never wavered.
Hosted by Muhammad's wife, Lani Ali,
and his close friend, award-winning broadcaster, John Ramsey,
Ali and Me goes beyond the boxing ring
to delve deeply into Ali's extraordinary life
through conversations with Billy Crystal, Mike Tyson,
Rosie Perez,
Common,
Will Smith,
and Bob Costas.
It created a North star for me of how I want to be in the world.
You know,
as a child,
as a young person,
he gave credence to my audacity.
There's no debate that this is the greatest global sports figure of our
lifetime.
Listen to Ali and me, now on Audible.
Game that got very, very interesting, Ocho.
The Cowboys beat the Commanders to snap a five-game losing streak by the score of 34-26.
In the last two minutes and 49 seconds there was a 99
there was a bobble kick return
Devontae Turpin
Devontae Turpin excuse me
picks the ball up and goes 99
yards for a touchdown oh that's the
ball game nah the commander
says not so fast
Jaden Daniels says I believe I have one more
miracle in me and it might not be
a Hail Mary but I got a pass for
you. He finds
Terry McLaurin.
86-yard touchdown.
Ocho, we going to overtime.
The kicker
comes on, the snapper.
Because here's the thing, Ocho, people think it's
just the pressure on the kicker. There's the pressure
on the snapper and the holder.
And you see,
it kind of threw his timing off because the ball was a little low
and the holder, he bobbled
a little bit and it wasn't
even close. Reminded me,
I remember thinking to myself,
you remember when the Saints,
they laterally, the ball all the way down
the field against Jacksonville, got
the touchdown and then missed the PAT that would have tied the game.
Boy, that's a heartbreaking way to lose a game.
You've done all of that.
86 yards, the crowd is in a frenzy.
Your sideline is in a frenzy.
And then it's just so anticlimactic that you shank the PAT.
Now, you come back in, Ocho, we're going onside
it. Dallas scoops their own side
up and goes in for a touchdown.
I'll let you.
Go ahead.
How do I say this?
The snapper,
the holder, and the kicker, they
go through the same routine
constantly all week long.
All week.
It's repetition, repetition, repetition,
repetition, repetition, repetition.
And especially when it comes to a game like this
where the game is on the line
and it's on your hands
and it's on your foot.
You got one job.
Yep.
You got one job. The. You got one job.
The game of football is a game of inches.
There are very few plays, even out of 75,
maybe one, two, maybe three plays at best
that makes a difference in a game.
And when the opportunity comes,
you have to take advantage of those opportunities.
And tonight, they missed the opportunity
to give themselves the chance to win a game
against a Cowboys team that has been playing bad.
You could have buried them.
You win this game. If Washington wins this game, game against a Cowboys team that has been you could have buried them you would you win this game if Washington wins this game they buried the Cowboys their season is over
ain't no coming back you're three eight you got six games to go I believe your season is over
because the Cowboys they still got to go to Philly I don't believe they're beating Philly
in Philly come on now so you could have ended the Cowboys season.
Now, yeah,
but Jaden Daniels,
prior to that last match, he wasn't playing well.
He wasn't seeing the field particularly well, Ocho.
But I want to give the Cowboys D-line
some credit. They got after him.
Diggy Zua,
Micah. He had two sacks,
yeah. They got after the
defense was flying around. The Rico
Didell, they had a rush in the game. Look, it wasn't
great. It wasn't great.
But 19 carries, 86 yards.
Caught the ball extremely well.
And think of it, it was a makeshift line.
Your right guard is out. Your left guard
is out. They moved Guyton, which was a
great thing because all he does is hold,
get penalties. And even when they brought his
ass in, guess what he did Ocho
got two penalties
looking around like what I Ocho you know
what I hate I wish
I owned the video board soon as they
throw a flag I know they gonna look I'm gonna cut the video
board off what you looking up there for you
know what the hell you did you held a man
that's why they threw a flag on your ass
yeah they be looking up there talking about
mm-mm mm-mm
you did it.
Yeah, it was you.
It was you.
Yeah.
It was you.
I'm like, damn, son.
And he's talking about he don't know what.
That ain't no whole yes it is.
But give the Cowboys credit, Ocho.
Like I said, Cooper Rush did a great job.
24-32, 247, two touchdowns.
They ran the ball well enough to keep Washington off balance
when they just couldn't pin the ears back.
CeeDee had 10 for 67.
Schumacher, I think that's his name.
They just have three for 55, caught a 24-yard touchdown.
But they had some guys that make some big-time plays today,
and that's what you need to happen to go on the road and get that nasty taste
out of your mouth. But those guys, Hey, they got after the quarterback.
They hunted the quarterback today and they did a great job of that.
They did a great job. Go ahead.
Now I'm going to say, when you look at the Cowboys, the last,
the last four weeks and you look at the Cowboys tonight,
especially from a defensive standpoint,
why in the hell do you look like they did the thing against a division
opponent,
as opposed to not looking like that
against everybody else they've been playing?
Tell me so we both know.
I'm just curious.
I'm sitting there,
I'm watching the game at the cigar bar earlier
and I'm like,
I'm saying to myself,
well, god damn,
they sure is playing well.
You know, they playing well offensively.
I'm talking about all three phases of the game,
whether it be defense, whether it be offense. Hell yeah they was playing motherfucking good on goddamn special teams well i think you look like shit against everybody else
they did especially at home because they've been down by 20 points or more in the last what's five
six home games and a lot of those home games the games haven't been close the only game that was
close this year is that they came back
and they were down by 20 against Baltimore.
All the other games that they've lost have been two-score games.
But the kicker, he missed a couple a day,
and he's a very reliable kicker.
He has leg out of this world.
But other than that, I thought defensively,
this was their best game defensively.
I thought overall as an offense, they played well. They ran the ball.
Not great rushing numbers, Ocho, but they
ran the ball well enough to keep them off balance.
Turpin, who's turned himself
into the best returner in football.
And they got him
out of the world. The USFL.
I think they got him out of the USFL.
They got their kicker out of the XFL
of the USFL, whatever case may be.
And these guys are all pro, that's
turned into all pro players.
But give the Cowboys
credit. And guys, see how easy it is?
If you play good, we talk about
you. We say good things. But when you play
bad, I mean, what other choice do you have?
Now, I wonder if somebody's going to go on their IG
and say, hey, call me
on the phone and talk good about me.
I'm just wondering.
You think that's going to happen, Ocho?
Is anyone going to call you and tell you to talk good about me?
No, no, no.
Tweet it.
No, no, go on IG.
IG posts and stuff like that.
You think they're going to say that?
Oh, okay.
Yeah.
I didn't think so either.
CJ Shroud steps out of the back of M-Z zone for safety as the Titans beat the Texans 32-27.
C.J. Stroud's performance was a mixed bag.
He threw multiple touchdown passes for the first time since October 13th in over a month,
but he also threw multiple interceptions for the second time in three weeks and was sacked four times.
The Texans allow Will Levis to go 18-23, 273, two touchdowns, big, long touchdowns.
In December, Houston faces the Dolphins, the Chiefs, and the Ravens,
who all offenses can score in bunches.
Kyle Fairbairn missed 28-yard field goal attempt in the fourth quarter.
Mark gets the fourth field goal of 29 or fewer yards out of 159 attempts
in NFL this season. Two of those four
misses are by fireball.
Damn. Ocho, maybe it's
just me. Talk to me now.
What's wrong with CJ?
I don't know.
He's not playing good.
Yeah, he's not.
You're going to have lows
now, Unc. You know that, right?
He hasn't played
well this year ocho this is not a low how many interceptions does he have now
what do you got right you got eight on eight eight or seven
nine nine touchdowns yeah i'm off i'm off by one he got 14 touchdowns oh joe yeah
would you could would you consider this would you consider this a sophomore slump
they played 12 games he has 14 touchdowns
you heard me would you consider this a sophomore slump as a quarterback i don't know i mean i guess look
the thing that that's most impressive that you about great players or joe is that
even when they get tape on you you still have to account for them see i was very fortunate i played
against reggie white with three different teams, with three different regimes. I played him against him in 92, and we circled him on the board.
I played against him in 93, we circled him on the board.
I played him in 96, we circled him on the board.
I played him against him in the Super Bowl in 97,
we circled him on the board.
You don't think they have film on Peyton?
Brady?
Mahomes?
Lamar?
Lamar.
And I get it.
Nico missed, what, four weeks with that hamstring injury?
Hamstring injury.
The O-line hasn't been playing well either.
CJ Stroud, he's been getting hit a lot at quarterback.
Getting hit a lot. He just. I think.
Something's off.
I don't know if he's injured, but something is off.
He just doesn't look as confident as he did last year.
Right.
Now, the one thing that you can't do, you can't talk.
Hey, you can talk about it, but you got to go out there and be about it.
Mm hmm.
There have been a lot of great ones.
There have been a lot of guys that have had one great season on show.
Mm hmm. Can you put them together?
Yeah.
Do it back to back.
Yeah.
Can you do it back to back to back?
Yeah.
Can you do it for four years?
Can you do it for five years?
Can you do it for six years?
How many,
how many times you've seen guys go have a great season,
go to the pro bowl or Joe be an all pro.
He'll be able to put it back to back. But also if you look you look at the texans in the entirety of the season up to this point and see why he's been throwing the interceptions
you know his decision making is not as sharp as it was last year with the ball getting hit
upside the head every time he dropped back being rushed not being able to go through his progressions,
missing a Nico Collins,
Diggs being
out. There are
factors that are going in why the season is
going the way it is so far this year for him
from a statistical
standpoint. Why it doesn't look like it did
last year with the historic run he had as a rookie.
I mean, there have been some things that have
happened.
Me personally, Ocho, I think the Diggs
is less because he's
only been playing with him for three months.
Nico Collins, that's the guy that he has
the relationship with. That's the guy that
helped him win Offensive Rookie of the Year.
Nico Collins was a
Pro Bowl player last year.
He's a very talented and young receiver.
He's tremendous, can play through contact,
can make tough contests to catch it.
He's great run after the catch.
He can get behind the team.
Tank Dale is another one that's really good.
He only had three catches today.
And they didn't run the ball particularly well.
They only had 17 attempts.
But Tennessee's defense is good now.
They're good.
Now, Will Levin sometimes puts them in harm's way.
Yeah, he turned the ball over a lot.
But you see that pick six?
Boy, I know the coach me want to put his foot in his ass.
Yeah.
I'm like, bro, everybody knows when they see you line up like that if two people
run in the slant they know the first slant
is the clear the guy he not gonna
go he gonna bait you
it's the same thing they got Brady
winning the Super Bowl
no I'm not I'm gonna go
right here boo I'm gonna come off and go
go get it
right here and if I catch it
I'm going to the house.
Yeah. But if you
look at Simons and you look at some of those guys,
man, they can get after your quarterback
now. They can get after your quarterback.
Yeah. Harold Landry,
they got some really, really,
really good, talented players on the
defensive side of football. You look
at one kid,
tight end, caught a pass, 70-yard touchdown.
Westbrook caught a 38-yard touchdown.
I mean, it was the big plays
that was really killing the Texans.
And Pollard, you got him boxed up.
You got him for a four or five-yard loss.
Somehow he comes out of that for a 27 yard game how many
times did it look like they had him behind the line of scrimmage ocho and he got first down he's
getting five six seven yards you gotta fit you gotta get the guy it's not good enough to get
there you gotta get the guy on the ground yeah i mean if you get if you force a team to shoot the
ball the possession don't start don't doesn't end until you get the rebound if you force a team to shoot the ball, the possession doesn't end until you get the rebound.
If you force them into a bad shot and they grab the rebound,
what the hell have you done?
Well, if you get there, you got the guy hemmed up,
and you don't get him on the ground behind the line of scrimmage
when you got an opportunity.
What have you done?
Texas got to make a decision.
Texas, look look and this division
it's still up for grabs ain't it
well yeah if the Colts
can put something together
the Colts look
they played the Lions
they played the Lions and Richardson
made some throws but there are some throws that he missed
he had Pierce wide open for touchdown
and he always shot it
very inconsistent
very inconsistent when huh? Yeah.
Very inconsistent, you know, when throwing the ball.
Whether it be short routes, intermediate routes,
throwing stuff that is under
12, under 12,
and 5 and 6 yards.
I'm talking about throwing bullets.
No, no.
You can't throw everything.
Like, you know, I call it,
I mean, listen, they used to say,
you got to be able to be a thrower of the ball.
Yes.
You got to be a thrower of the ball.
You know, there are multiple ways you can throw it, man, to get it in there.
Make it a catchable ball all the time for your receivers.
Then everything don't have to be a goddamn bullet, man.
Yes.
The Texans offense in the second half, Ocho, 54 yards, three points,
four first down, never
crossed midfield, and 40%
pressure rate allowed.
Now, you see, teams believe now
if we heat CJ up,
we can cause them
some problems. Yeah. When your
offensive line is playing bad like that, you can
heat them up and cause them some problems. Okay.
Bringing heat last year didn't work.
Bringing heat last year
didn't work. Well, damn, how many offensive
linemen are they without now?
Because it looked like the same offensive line.
I mean, Chad, am I off? So who
did they lose offensive line-wise?
Hey.
It's okay
to see Jay's not playing well.
Let me ask you a question
so Daniel Jones we gonna put that
on the offensive line
oh they bad too boy
we gonna put that offensive line in the Jets
because we saw it with Darnold we saw it with Zach Wilson
now we see it with Aaron Rodgers
so is that the line
because every time a quarterback plays bad we can't keep
blaming the line we can't keep
shaping the blame now
CJ said it himself.
He's not playing well.
He's not.
I'm not saying the offensive line not adding to it,
but we can't place all of this at defeating the offensive line.
I didn't.
I said CJ's not playing well at all,
but I said also the offensive line and their play
and allowing CJ Stroud to continue to get hit.
Matter of fact, let me ask you a question.
Yes.
I'm not sure what the stat is.
What quarterback has been sacked the most in the NFL?
Who's been sacked the most?
Watch this.
Mahomes is up there too.
Why you bulljabbing?
Did you see Mahomes running for his life?
Yeah.
I think he got sacked four or five times today.
Caleb Williams is sacked the most.
Then CJ.
Okay.
CJ second?
Yeah.
Okay.
Where's Mahomes?
They had Mahomes.
Mahomes had to pick him up and put him down.
You know, he got one long run in him every game.
Listen, you know what that is, right?
You don't want to hit the quarterback.
You think he's going out of bounds?
Yeah.
And instead of going out of bounds,
he cut it up the field and keep on going?
Hey, well, you're going to go out of bounds
because I'm coming to knock hell out of you.
Because if you remember, they find, hold on,
somebody, who did that?
The guy was going out of bounds, and the guy hit him,
and they called a personal foul.
I said, so what you think?
I'm supposed to let him leisurely run out of bounds?
Bounds, yeah.
I'm trying to knock his block off.
The game is different.
The game is different than the quarterbacks.
Well, some quarterbacks, especially Mahomes,
are taking advantage of the rules.
Yeah.
Well, I know he's not going to hit me, right?
So I'm going to get on.
I'm going to bend this corner and look like I'm going out of bounds and I'm going to stay
in and cut back in
yeah okay
but
yeah
look it looks like they're going to win
this division and guess what when you win
your division guess what else Ocho you get a home
playoff game but if you're not
careful you'll be one and done
yeah you'll be one and done.
Yeah.
You'll be one and done.
Because any of those teams,
any of the teams,
I mean, because guess what?
You might get Baltimore.
Is that what you really want?
Is that what you really want, Ochoa?
In the first round? Yes!
I don't want none of that. Exactly.
You might get Pittsburgh. Is that what you want? I don't want none of that. Exactly. You might get Pittsburgh. Is that what you want?
I don't want none of that either.
So, they got to find a way to get this thing done.
The Lions defeated the Colts 24-6.
The Lions have won the game again today,
though 24 points they put up against the Colts in Indianapolis seemed a little bit pedestrian compared to some of their recent weeks.
They've won nine games in a row, and they're 10-1 in the season.
Nicknames Sonic and Knuckles,
Gibbs and Montgomery combined for three rushing
touchdowns against the Colts, becoming the first
duo in NFL history with 10
rushing touchdowns each in
consecutive seasons. Today marked
the 11th time both backs have scored a
touchdown in the same game, including
the playoff, which is the most such games
by a running back duo in NFL history.
Ocho
are Gibbs and David Montgomery,
the NFL's top rushing duo.
I'm trying to think about all the duos.
Hell, I can't really think and look.
Okay, you got a choice. You got them.
You got
Gainwell and
Saquon. Right.
You got Henry and Hill.quon right you got Henry and
and and he'll who else
have we got
I can't think
about the top of my head I mean do a running
back to you
I want you won't die you won't
die Dale and Zeke
I mean
I'll be an artist Chad help us out here
I mean they obviously us out here I mean
they obviously are the best
though
I believe so too yes I believe so
I mean the funny thing about it
when you think about a one and two
there's really a one and a one
yeah
one is more speed the other is more power
both can catch the ball
both can finish if necessary the thing is with the other is more power. Both can catch the ball. Both can finish if necessary.
The thing is with the other running backs, Ocho,
Saquon is so much better than Gainwell.
Right.
Henry is so much better than Hill.
But these guys are like really, they're really like here.
That's why they both had double-digit rushing touchdowns last year.
Both got double-digit rushing touchdowns this year.
So they're very comparable running backs.
I can't think people talk about Brees Hall and Allen.
I think one of those guys got more touchdowns than all those guys combined.
Yeah.
Tampa got Irving and White.
Yeah, they're good. But I think it's very safe to say that Detroit has the best dual running backs.
Yeah, there's some very good running backs like we mentioned.
Tampa got a good set.
Bucky Irving and White.
We just talked about Ocho.
We got Derrick Henry and Hill.
We got – who else we got, Ocho?
We got Saquon and Gangwell.
Gangwell.
McCaffrey and Jordan Mason in San Francisco.
Oh, that's a good one.
That's a good one.
The Bucs stop here. They got the
best. Now, if you put in
Lamar Jackson in there, we might be on something
different, but we talk about running backs.
But they look good.
I mean, they look uh it was it was a
quiet day i mean they only scored 24 points we used to see and then put up 50 40s 30s and we we
get we get you get spoiled by performances like that yeah you get spoiled by performances like
that and today they look like a regular team not what we saw the past two weeks. Yeah.
They had 133 yards, 137 yards rushing.
Jerry Goff was 26 and 36, 269. They got up and they pressed Buckner, them Franklin Speed.
They got at them a little bit, roughed them up a little bit.
But that's what you have to do.
You find ways to win.
Even when we don't play our best, Ochoa, we're still beating teams by three scores that's no you got a good team when you don't play your best you're on the
road and you can still beat a team by three score clean game you didn't you took care of the football
uh what'd you have they uh they had one fumble but they they recovered it. You can't complain. They're really good.
Somebody going to catch.
Look, it looks like they're going to get home field throughout.
Somebody going to catch hell going into that building and beat them.
Yeah.
Somebody going to catch.
I mean, you're going to have to play.
You're going to have to play a flawless football game in order to beat this team.
The Vikings beat the Bears 30-27 in overtime
Bears lose for the fifth time
Sam Donald
2020
from 2020
from 2020 to 2023
his record was 10 wins
and 20 defeats
in 2024 alone
he's 9-2
hey
it's amazing what happened
when you put
never mind
I ain't gonna say that
I ain't gonna say that played well today that goddamn jordan jordan addison
young bull i salute you boy yeah hockinson look oh joe yeah i don't might not like the
way jordan addison like requested the ball right but i got no problem with the way he handled it

shut down jj justin jefferson yeah okay the other guys y'all punish him yeah yeah i mean i don't
know what you want me to oh you will tell me you're going to allow two receivers for 15
catches to go for 276?
Yeah.
A touchdown?
As long as 18 doesn't do it.
That's what they're saying.
As long as 18 doesn't do it.
Do it.
And, you know, it's a good thing.
It's a good thing to put it on film, too.
It's a good thing to put it on film because now what you're telling
coordinators from this point on at 92, y'all gonna have to pick
your poison. Yes. You're
gonna have to pick your poison, which you want to do. You want to stack
the box? You want to stack the box and try to stop
Aaron Jones?
Or you want to double?
Yeah, Aaron Jones ran for 106.
Man, take your pick,
man. Take your pick.
Remember, he got fumbled
early too, Ocho, not to cut you off. Remember,
he fumbled it like the three-yard line. The guy
pulled it out. Jonathan Owens pulled
it out because they looked like they was about
to score this thing early. Broke
some of their momentum. But Addison,
$8.62. Big, big
day. Hawkinson, 7-for-1,
14. Big, big day.
Now, what y'all gonna do?
We proved to you. Now, sometimes I'm gonna give you one more week. I'm gonna see if y'all gonna do we prove to you now some not sometimes i'm gonna give you
one more week i'm gonna see if y'all can do it again do it again do it again hey guys hey somebody
about to catch hell because uh you're gonna have to go one-on-one with with jj and he chomped he
chomping at the bit he chomped at the bit to get even um but look, Sam Donald, 22 and 34, 330,
two touchdowns.
Aaron Jones, 22 carries, a buck
06, one touchdown.
Addison, 8 for 162.
Tubb, Hawkinson, Sam for 114.
People forget now,
Hawkinson went to the Pro Bowl. Hawkinson had
a season where he caught like 80,
not 80,
high 80s, maybe even mid- 90s yeah he's he's just
working his way back remember oh joe he tore his ACL last year yeah so now he's just starting to
get the rhythm back get a feel like oh man this knee feel good oh i can play it i can cut i can
accelerate i can transition. Yep.
And, you know, look, Minnesota defense, they got to look careless.
Got to look careless and let, you know,
Caleb Williams can make plays outside the pocket.
Now he can make plays.
You best bet it to keep him in the pocket because you let him get outside now.
Ain't no telling what he going to do.
He's very well.
He's very, very, very well playing off script.
Yep.
Yes.
Caleb Williams with 32 of 47, 342 touchdowns.
Didn't turn it over.
You can live with that.
You can live with that.
Moore had seven for a buck of six of touchdown.
Keenan Mallon had nine for 86 on the touchdown. Cole Komet was
7 for 64. Look,
they got some weapons. Now, they didn't run the ball.
You put a lot of pressure on a rookie
quarterback to ask him to throw the ball down there 50 times.
You got to get some.
I mean, you
got Swift in free agency.
Got to use him.
Yeah. You got to get more
production than 13 for 30 out of that
but guys look
man y'all gotta stop trying to look
I understand fans y'all want
Aberflus
gone but you can't blame it
for every damn thing
every week is his fault
yes it wasn't his fault
that 29 was jacking off
but the crowd we got y'all.
Y'all thought y'all won this game.
Yeah, we got.
And the play going on, don't y'all?
How is that ever Flute's fault?
Okay.
Y'all got the field, got the kick block.
But damn.
I get it. I get it.
I get it.
Y'all want the guy.
Y'all want the guy gone.
But damn, at some point in time,
every time you lose,
it's not on the coach.
Yeah.
Mike Murray explained why official
couldn't use the boundary cam
on the review.
If a coach is challenged,
you cannot use the boundary cam. There's a If a coach is challenged, you cannot use the boundary
cam. There's a boundary cam
in every stadium, so there's a question
of equity.
What play did...
Oh, yeah, yeah. Oh, no. That was
what you call them. When the 83 caught a touchdown
and he stuck the ball out?
Oh. Oh.
Oh.
What?
Oh, so that's what they got mad at him for?
Ever Flues?
Oh.
Besides being the head coach of the Bears.
That's what they're mainly upset about, Ocho.
Why?
Is him being the head coach of the Bears. That's what they're mainly upset about, Ocho. It's him being the head coach of the Chicago Bears.
But clearly, they're over him.

that's anything but ordinary. We dive into the competitive world of streaming, how she's turning
so-called niche into mainstream gold, connecting audiences with stories that truly make them feel

No.

with those who knew him best. Muhammad had this real sense of his own personal values and

through conversations with Billy Crystal, Mike Tyson, Rosie Perez, Common, Will Smith, and Bob Costas.
It created a North Star for me of how I want to be in the world, you know. As a child, as a young person, he gave
credence to my audacity. There's no debate that this is the greatest global sports figure of our
lifetime. Listen to Ali and Me, now on Audible. The Pertilus 49ers got clapped by the Packers 38-10.
Jordan Love entered the streak of eight consecutive games with a pick
by remaining at 11, which matches this total from last year.
Love threw for 163 yards and a pair of touchdowns,
but there's reason for concern given they played the Dolphins in four days.
Josh Jacobs had to leave briefly, but
to be treated for cramps, but he had an
unbelievable day. The Packers lost Romeo
Dobbs to a concussion. It would be difficult
for him to make a clear protocol. No,
it won't, because we saw
Tua get a concussion and play it on a Thursday
night. But I think
what they've learned, they've learned from that.
It's going to be hard for you to get
a concussion on Sunday, Ocho,
and get your ass on that field on Thursday.
Because you've condensed the amount of time,
at least from Sunday to Sunday, Ocho.
You had Thursday, you had Friday, and you had Saturday.
So you had three extra days.
Now, Sunday, you got Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and you play.
Nah, I don't see it happening.
The Packers are likely to have Jair Alexander, me,
or Adrian Cooper, hamstring.
The 49ers were without multiple key starters.
The Packers' veteran quarterback, Keshon Nixon,
believes that's not enough of a reason to take credit away from them
and their dominant win.
It's the NFL.
It's not an excuse.
We didn't have our quarterback.
We won three games, so we don't want to hear that. We came to play. They should have come to win. It's the NFL. It's not an excuse. We didn't have our quarterback. We won three games, so we don't want to hear that.
We came to play.
They should have come to play.
Ocho at five and six with a trip to Buffalo awaiting.
How dim are the 49ers' postseason hopes?
He ain't looking good, huh?
It's not looking good, especially who you got to play next to?
They got Buffalo.
Not, not, not, not, I call him Superman. I'm not sure
what you call him. They got Buffalo
Sunday. You call it whatever
you want to, but that's who they got. It's Buffalo.
But it ain't looking
good. It's looking real grim.
It's looking real grim. And that's even
if everybody was healthy too.
Even if everybody was healthy.
Listen, Josh Allen and them young
boys over there doing something special, man. And there no disrespect to shanahan and his team but they playing
different they playing real and most of the time when you think about the goddamn 49ers
in this time after thanksgiving around this time they always go on the run not only do they go on
the run but they actually healthy when they do so and they make it into the postseason
but there's too many question marks there's too many questions with question marks in them right but they're actually healthy when they do so. And they make it into the postseason.
But there's too many question marks.
There's too many question marks in them right now to say that they're going to make a run in the playoffs.
Backup quarterback, you're asking an awful lot
for Christian McCaffrey to miss half the season
and to come back in and pick up right away left off.
I don't think he's fully healthy either.
No, no.
He don't look right.
Brandon Ayuk is out.
Kittle played well today.
Jennings, what?
Debo, one catch for 21 yards.
Christian McCaffrey at three for 37.
Look, I picked Green Bay to win.
Yeah.
I picked Green Bay to win.
I just didn't think.
If you're a betting man or you're a gambling man,
I would hope with the injuries that the goddamn 49ers have, you pick Green Bay to win. I just didn't think. I didn't think. If you're a betting man or you're a gambling man, I would hope
with the injuries
that the goddamn 49ers have,
you pick Green Bay to win.
Yeah.
Look,
I'm not supposed to
even wear a purdy.
I don't like what I'm seeing
for the defense.
They're not good defensively.
And every year
at some point in time,
it seems like
Bosa gets nicked.
He's out.
Ward, for personal reason, he was out.
The safety, Huffnager.
He's really good, 29, Ocho.
But he's been hurt the last two years.
But at some point in time, Ocho, the next man up, next man up, next.
You got five next men up.
That ain't going to cut it.
No.
You might as well go with one next man up.
But you start talking about four, five, six next men up.
It's not the same.
It's not the same.
No.
They got their work cut out for them. look it's not they're five and six
i think the best record in that division is six and five seattle uh and i think arizona
they play these teams i mean i think they might be done i don't think they play seattle again
but i think they got arizona and i think they got the rams again But this is not the 49er team that we saw last year.
This is not the 49er team that we're accustomed to seeing.
Like you said, they're used to playing.
They're normally going in this direction,
heading into December and January,
and it seems like they're heading in this direction now,
going into December and January.
Yeah, this is – but Green Bay. Josh Jacobs is unbelievable.
And people are like, man, y'all gave up on
Aaron Jones.
Aaron Jones, and I
if they'd have kept Aaron Jones,
I would have been disappointed with him, but they wanted a younger
they went with, I think, a younger
back that runs
with a little bit more power. He can catch
the ball. He can catch the ball out of the backfield just like
Aaron Jones. Aaron Jones is really good at catching the football.
I was surprised Dallas didn't make a play for him.
He was another guy that was available in free agency.
He's from Dallas.
He loves the Cowboys.
Look at his numbers when he plays the Cowboys,
especially at AT&T Stadium.
But, hey, they went in the direction that they wanted to go.
But they ran the ball 42 times for $1.69.
Jordan Love with 13 of 23, 163, two touchdowns.
Wasn't the most efficient, but he didn't turn the ball over.
Right.
As long as he doesn't turn the ball over.
Because remember, Ocho, he had a streak.
He was turning the ball over every single game.
And sometimes he was turning it over multiple times.
That's what gets you in trouble.
But give him credit.
Green Bay, 8-3.
Stay at A.
We don't want, we don't, because think about it.
You got 10-1 Detroit.
You got 9-2 Minnesota.
And you got 8-3 Green Bay.
Only one can win the division.
Old division. Old division.
Old division playing ball.
Except Chicago.

Look at once those guys cross the white line.
There's nothing I can do for them.
Well, I mean, listen.
It's not.
It's not.
You can't say that, though.
Hey, Unc, you got Wednesday.
You got Thursday.
You got Friday.
You got walk-through Saturday.
You prepare.
He's done everything he can. You have
meetings. You got meetings on
top of meetings. You have a meeting about a meeting
based on the team you plan. You done watch
film all goddamn week.
He's done everything
he can do to prepare you for the goddamn
Dolphins. All three phases of the game. Offensively,
defensively, and special teams.
When Sunday comes at 1 o'clock,
there is nothing that gerard mayo
can do for you i think to prepare you for your team or that team all goddamn week what you mean
he can't say that that's exactly what he i mean he's telling the truth that's the problem oh joe
it's okay i we know we know that but you can't say that you the coach you talking like you a fan
you can't say that you're the coach
hey
hey listen
he telling the truth though I know you
gotta be peaceful I know you can't
say stuff like that
it's refreshing to hear a coach
tell the god damn truth for a change
I just
I can't do nothing for you I can't do nothing for you
I can't do nothing
for you but when y'all didn't play
well you couldn't go out there and say man
Carson suck
it would be refreshing
you know I'm not crossing
that line exactly
I wasn't in a position to be
able to cross that line but one I was already
the villain I already told the, I was already the villain.
I already told the line.
I already pushed the envelope.
Now, I definitely didn't even open my mouth and say no craziness like that.
I know where the dirt line is. That your offense didn't play well or the defense didn't play well.
Or maybe you guys weren't as prepared as you needed to be.
Right.
You just bite the bullet.
Say, we need to play better.
We'll play better next week.
Give that team credit. You know, they came. to play better. We'll play better next week. Give that team credit.
You know, they came,
they executed better than we did.
They took care of, they handled their business.
But hey, we learned from
it and we moved forward.
But there's something, hey bro, you a coach!
Yeah, yeah.
There's supposed to be always
something you can do to help
your team, whether you can or you can't, you say there's something we knew do it.
We need to do a better job of coaching them up. We got our play today.
We got our coach today, but now we'll go back and look at the tape.
We'll see what we did good, which wasn't much.
There's things that we can improve upon, which is a lot and we'll get better.
That's what practice is for. We'll learn from the mistakes that we
made. We'll coach them up better.
They'll play better, and we'll be better from
it. Damn, I sound like a coach.
Yeah. You know, there's one thing
I will say.
One thing I can say. For the Patriots,
for the fans, for Gerard Mayo,
they found their quarterback
of the future, I can tell you that. Oh, yeah, for sure.
Oh, they found, hey, that goddamn Drake Mayboy, boy, he nice. I can tell you that. Oh, yeah, for sure. Oh, they found a goddamn Drake Mayboy?
Boy, he nice.
He tough.
They done found a goddamn quarterback.
I don't care what Gerard Mayo said today.
There's one thing I know as a fan, as a Patriot fan,
you can feel good about your quarterback situation.
All you got to do is build around him.
You're going to be all right.
Yeah.
You're right.
I like it.
I like it.
Now, you got to get him some more weapons, though, O yeah oh yeah um i'm surprised they didn't run the body look
miami is getting hot at the right time tour 29 to 40 317 four touchdowns clean game didn't turn
it over jaylen wattle broke out of his slump 84 buck 44 for a buck 44. A touchdown. John Lewis Smith, 9 for 87.
A touchdown. Back-to-back week.
Now he got three touchdowns in the past two weeks.
Devon Achan.
Achan.
Achan.
Three for 24.
He only had 24 yards on show.
Two tubs, though. But I thought
Tua threw the ball exceptionally well today.
They did a great job. He only got sacked twice.
Hey, they got to get Mad dog Cheetah going, man.
I ain't letting Cheetah beat me.
Hey, they got to get my dog Cheetah going, man.
They got to do something.
They got to.
Listen, man, put him in the backfield.
Put him at running back.
I don't know, man.
Do something.
Do whatever you need to do.
Mike McDaniels, you're very creative.
You're a very creative coach.
But, man, we can't have a season like we had last year with Cheetah, Do something. Do whatever you need to do. Mike McDaniels, you're very creative. You're a very creative coach.
But, man, we can't have a season like we had last year with Cheetah.
And then, obviously, we know
goddamn two of them is games. But, man, nah, man.
Forget that, man. I'm trying to get
Cheetah the ball in
any way possible.
But,
you got to keep young Bull happy
over there, man, because you know what they do? They love to use
instances like this where the numbers don't look like they did last year.
And the first thing they talk about, well, we think you done lost a step.
No, I did.
But they just get, they just gave a contract.
Oh, Joe, they just, you know, you know what they do to you after just giving you a contract.
That don't mean nothing.
Understand this business and how this business works.
Go ahead.
Go ahead.
Release me.
I take my ass right back to Kansas City.
He ain't going nowhere.
That's the last thing.
Do you want him back in Kansas City
with Mahomes?
No, because you might as well just put a goddamn trophy
on the mantle right now. Exactly.
Because now you're going to have
him worthy. You know they just
added a Taequann Thornton to the
so now you got 4-2-1
you got 4-2-7 and you
got 4-2-9. Yeah.
That's nasty.
Nasty work.
I'm just running goals.
Hey, at least
there's not a pass play
that I don't have a goalball
included. Right. If Tyreek
Worthy or if Tyreek and Worthy's on the field,
if Worthy and Thornton's on the field,
whomever, there's a goalball every time.
I'm peacing out.
The fans, like I said, Miami's getting hot at the right time.
They're 5-6.
They won two straight 34-15 winners over the Patriots.
Tua 29-40, 3-15 winners over the Patriots. Tua, 29-40,
3-17, four touchdowns.
Jalen Wilder broke out of his slump,
8-44, one touchdown.
And John Lewis Smith had 9-87
on the touchdown as they win
34-15.
