1:42

For full details. It is early here

1:44

on a Thursday morning, so

1:46

most sportsbooks here in this city, Las

1:48

Vegas They shut down for a little

1:50

bit overnight. CERC, of course, is open twenty four

1:52

hours, sub points open twenty four hours.

1:54

Those two books have KC now favored

1:56

by one at home. The West Gate does as well.

1:59

I'm looking at other spots across the country.

2:01

And globally, they're also moving to KC

2:03

a small favorite at this point. I'm curious

2:05

at how high this number gets before kick off,

2:08

on and Richard Skinner

2:10

is kind enough to join us here early

2:12

on a Thursday morning. Anchor and columnist for

2:14

channel twelve, in the city of Cincinnati

2:16

to talk about this game. Richard, good to talk to you today.

2:18

How are

2:18

you?

2:19

Good to talk to you. I'm I'm guessing Pat Mahomes

2:22

practicing in full yesterday has made that number

2:24

move. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

2:26

Exactly right. right, this

2:28

number is not gonna go back at all because

2:30

I'm guessing Richard, the closer we get to kick

2:32

off it's only gonna be more positive news

2:34

coming out of Kansas City. There's not there's, like, angry weeks are

2:36

not gonna come back, come out say, oh, boy, we had a

2:38

big setback. My home is gonna say, boy, my ankle feels

2:40

like twenty percent. So this number can only

2:42

go one way moving forward. Right? I mean, it can

2:44

only go like KC minus

2:46

two, two and a half, maybe even three.

2:49

Yes. I think you're probably right.

2:51

And even when you

2:53

see full participant in practice, did

2:55

he push it VSiN? Did he Did

2:58

he did he get flushed? I mean, practicing

3:00

full means you literally went through all the reps,

3:02

but how how intense were those reps? So

3:04

I I think I agree with you though because he's

3:06

obviously said he wants to play. He said he's going

3:08

to play. He's now practiced in full on Wednesday.

3:11

I'm assuming he's gonna practice in full today and then

3:13

they'll walk through on Friday, and we'll see what

3:15

happens in free game over. Now maybe when we

3:17

see him in pregame warm up, people then go,

3:18

oh, wait a minute. He doesn't look right. And then the

3:20

number goes the other way. Like, it probably

3:23

goes up. Yep. So what's the game plan you

3:25

think right away to begin this game? The bangles have

3:27

been so good going back to last year,

3:29

especially, like, limited teams if

3:31

you go back and look at their scores, like this year,

3:33

like the last eight, ten weeks, they give up basically

3:35

nothing in the first quarter. Do you

3:37

think they test Mahomes immediately

3:39

by bringing bringing, you know, extra heat

3:41

off the

3:41

pressure? Are we gonna see blitzing right away from the bangles

3:44

in this game? I can't imagine

3:46

you don't. I mean, you 2 see how

3:48

to you handle that, move him

3:50

off his spot. See how he does move off

3:52

the spot. And if he does move maybe

3:54

he hits you for a VSiN you actually then

3:56

can say, alright, we'll we'll scrap that idea.

3:58

One thing that Lou Ann, a rumor the defensive coordinator

4:00

is really good at is disguising all the pluses

4:02

and coverages and whatnot. And how about Dionalkins

4:05

2 the bills or offensive tackle? Was

4:07

really honest after the game on

4:09

Sunday. I was at the locker room. I was watching AAA

4:12

show in my hotel room that night and

4:14

actually used this quote for another story. Reset,

4:16

we had no idea where they were coming from

4:18

and when they were coming. And he said it really

4:20

confused us. Mhmm. And he's not the first

4:22

person to to kind of suggest that or say

4:24

that. So I'm with you. I think you blitz my

4:26

homes early. You see how he moves.

4:28

And if you figure out he can't move, he becomes

4:30

a sitting duck at that point VSiN opinion.

4:32

What's the status of the Bengals o

4:34

VSiN? And how important will will that be?

4:36

They were great against Buffalo, the running

4:38

game. Blowing him off the line of scrimmage,

4:40

protecting Burrow. How will that

4:42

look on the road again against Jones VSiN your

4:44

opinion? And how is the health of the old line?

4:46

Yeah. I don't think Alex Kapper, Joanna

4:49

Williams play. They they didn't practice yesterday. They

4:51

haven't practiced since they each suffered their injuries,

4:53

and that were on Thursday. And if

4:55

you're not practice on Wednesday, you're probably not

4:57

gonna practice on Thursday and then tenths the

4:59

week's gone

4:59

again. So think it's the same line that rolls out

5:02

this week to roll out a Buffalo with Jackson

5:04

Carman was kind of a bust as a

5:06

guard making his second start

5:08

at left tackle. And right. They the running

5:10

game was really, really effective. And the one thing will

5:12

say, Pass rushwise, Buffalo is

5:14

not exactly dynamic on the edge, especially

5:16

since Bon Miller got hurt. So that wasn't

5:18

a big test for this offensive line.

5:20

I had all of a certain interior is, but the

5:22

strength of the offensive line honestly is guard

5:24

to guard. So, you know, you kind

5:26

of neutralize that. I think this is a big different challenge

5:28

with Frank Clark and Chris Jones for sure. But

5:30

they ran it well against Kansas City in regular season.

5:32

Samadji P. Ryan played for Joe Nixon because

5:34

Nixon was hurt went for over a hundred yards on the

5:36

ground. And I think the running game has to be a

5:38

big part of what they do this week. VSiN here's

5:40

what I liked last week too, especially in the

5:42

snow. Taylor recognized VSiN. And he said,

5:44

well, wait a second here. We're getting, like, five yards a clip

5:46

against this Bill's defense. We're just gonna keep pounding

5:49

mixing. And Burrow was awesome early.

5:51

He had eighteen completions at halftime, but there was

5:53

no need to throw the football. He'll stick

5:55

with VSiN. I'm guessing.

5:56

Right? Like, if they noticed they can run against like,

5:58

that's gonna be a bigger part of the game plan than than

6:00

it typically would be otherwise. Yeah.

6:02

And and listen, this is well, let's be clear. This is

6:04

a pass first. Pass off and offense.

6:06

And when you say, oh, girl, you 2 pass first

6:08

and pass off. But you're right. Let's say it

6:10

looks like you had control of the game on both sides

6:12

of the ball. Especially in the spell, there was

6:14

no reason to do anything but run it.

6:16

Plus Buffalo played a lot of too high safety

6:18

look, which literally says VSiN the ball and says

6:20

it invites that. Kansas City

6:22

plays a lot of that as

6:23

well. So they're gonna dare you to run it, and you

6:26

have to run it efficiently and effectively. And if

6:28

they

6:28

do, I

6:28

think Zach Taylor is smart enough coaches to keep

6:30

doing that VSiN though, again, like I said, it is still this

6:33

is Joe Burrows offense and they want

6:34

him to

6:34

to do as much as he can, but but they're not

6:37

gonna be stupid. Follow the money here

6:39

on v in the sports betting network our

6:41

guest, Richard Skinner, columnist VSiN

6:43

anchor for channel twelve in the city of

6:45

Cincinnati this

6:47

sounds like it's much easier than it

6:49

actually is on the field. Like, you should be

6:51

able to game plan for Travis Kelsey, but every

6:53

team knows that. And he still goes out like last week and

6:55

has fourteen catches So how what's

6:57

what is the game plan here to kinda slow him

6:59

down? And I know the DC was talking about this yesterday.

7:01

He's like, if they do the ring around and rosy, my first thing's

7:03

gonna be Find Kelsey. We gotta slow him

7:05

down. But how do you actually do that?

7:07

Yeah. I wanna see if they'd pull out the ring around the

7:09

proceeds for this game up. Alright. We

7:11

talked back to you before I get to that. We talked to to a

7:13

couple of coordinators of the angles about that VSiN it

7:16

happened over the year and said, you know, if you

7:18

guys play Kansas City again and maybe take

7:20

it any time, maybe you ring around the rosy and

7:22

take a knee just to just to show them because it it

7:24

was the craziest plan that we're

7:25

seeing.

7:25

But they've actually, you know, the the they played

7:27

Kelsey four times in the regular season.

7:29

Three under this staff. And, you

7:32

know, he really hasn't gone

7:33

off. He's caught, you know, an average of, like, three point eight

7:35

balls. I think, in the three games against the staff. Now

7:37

he did have ten for ninety five in the playoff

7:39

game. They

7:39

have a guy that they consider their tight VSiN stopper.

7:42

Now he's been

7:42

hurt. He'd expected back this week trade

7:44

flowers. He's a long rangey corner

7:46

who's really got a great outside corner

7:48

but just has a skill set that handles tight

7:51

ends. Getting him back this week

7:53

will be big. Last week was a rookie doc, so

7:55

he didn't get a lot of snaps, I think six to

7:56

eight. Snaps. But he had dawson knocks on a couple of coverages,

7:59

including one in the end zone,

8:00

and he was all over them. They just seemed to

8:02

have a tight end stopper. You're not

8:04

stopping him, but they they consider him a tight end stopper.

8:06

But if you look at Kelsey's regular season

8:08

numbers, they're really pedestrian against this team. And again, if

8:10

you look back at last year in the playoffs, it was ten

8:12

catches, yes, which is nine point five

8:14

yards per pop, so he's really never gouged

8:16

them. Maybe it's pure

8:17

luck, maybe it's coincidence, but I do think they have

8:19

the answer in trade flowers. I'm a legacy

8:21

guy. I I what we don't want your

8:23

thoughts on this and what it's like back there in

8:25

Cincinnati if if Burrow can do this again

8:28

the lack of postseason success they

8:30

had going back for years

8:32

26th that organization, if he can beat my

8:34

homes for the fourth time and get

8:36

back to back Super Bowls, how

8:38

crazy this would be for Burrow at a young

8:40

age?

8:41

Crazy. You know, this was a long

8:44

time since it had a redstone, and it's

8:46

obviously flipped on its head -- Okay. -- for various

8:48

reasons because the red stink and the ankles

8:50

don't. And it is just old bangles

8:52

all the

8:52

time. And we were talking about this,

8:53

you know, Pete Rose was iconic in

8:55

this city because he's just Cincinnati all

8:58

time hits leaders, obviously, went through his issues,

9:00

but all those things. But Joe Burrow

9:02

is is I don't know if it's article

9:04

anymore. He's already probably the

9:05

most, like, sports figure in the city. In the city, he had

9:07

Oscar Robertson at one point. Uh-huh. And

9:09

if he goes to a Super Bowl, leave them

9:11

again and would leave them to a win

9:14

literally, he would go down as the most iconic

9:16

sports figure times seventy in VSiN city. They

9:18

already love for all the things he's

9:19

done. If he

9:20

does this again, it

9:23

would be iconic. It said it would put him in a

9:25

legendary status. And I hate to say

9:27

it because I think Patrick Mahomes is just

9:29

a special unicornish type

9:31

talent. Mhmm. If Jopro beats him again

9:33

for four times in a row, you start

9:35

to start to talk about order back

9:37

conversations and who's the best in the league. He

9:39

doesn't have the arm count at the homes does. He

9:41

doesn't do spectacular things like cat homes

9:43

does. But at that

9:43

point, do you say he's the best quarterback in the week?

9:46

How important was that to get

9:48

chased to? And was it a a big deal at the

9:50

time? Because Ben Burrow, I I think was

9:52

was sold them on that

9:52

too. If they don't take Chase with that pick,

9:55

who knows if they're here as well? They're probably

9:57

not.

9:58

Oh,

9:58

no question. I mean, that was huge. And it it wasn't

10:00

you you you

10:01

lucked

10:01

into this a little bit. Right? I mean, you had the stink

10:03

to get the number one overall

10:04

sick, which they did. And then had to think

10:06

a little bit again to get the number five overall pick

10:08

into March 2, which they did again. But

10:11

then, wisely, when you have your star

10:13

quarterback and your star wide receiver still on

10:15

rookie contracts, they went out and overhaul the

10:17

defense by spending a lot of

10:18

money. Yeah. And it

10:18

was a perfect formula for success. And

10:21

and it's the window is still

10:23

wide VSiN. You know, no matter what

10:25

happened in this

10:25

game. But, yeah, you're right. I mean, these

10:28

two guys are just a dynamic

10:30

duo. Chase scored the first touch onto the

10:32

game last week against the Bills. Do

10:34

you think this is another Jamar

10:36

Chase

10:36

game? Is it t Higgins? Is it somebody else

10:38

like Tyler Boyd? If Burrell beats him up in the air,

10:40

who do you think it

10:41

would be? I think it's T. Higgins. And

10:43

some of it is, you know, Kansas City

10:45

got burned by Lamar Chase in the regular season

10:48

match up last

10:48

year. Mhmm. And

10:49

after that, it really was. They just

10:51

they won't alter coverage that they could towards

10:54

him to slow him down because he just

10:56

struck the fear of god and them and and rightfully

10:58

so. And I think you'll see, again, that

11:00

coverage go towards him. VSiN teams do

11:02

that. Tejigins on the other side is always the

11:04

answer because somebody's in one on one coverage,

11:06

and he's really, really good when he does that. So

11:08

I I yeah. I would lean team, hit Tejigins, if

11:10

it moves

11:10

me. We saw that last year in the Super Bowl with Higgins VSiN

11:13

how effective he was. Right. Yeah. You can follow

11:15

Richard on Twitter. He is at local

11:17

twelve skinny Anchor and columnist at channel

11:19

twelve in

11:19

Cincinnati. Richard, pleasure talking to you. Thanks for the

11:22

time. Have a

11:23

great day, guys. Yep.

11:24

Great job. Yeah. Higgins,

11:26

the last time they played Casey this year, it was

11:28

week thirteen. He had three for thirty five VSiN one

11:30

touchdown, but I think it is a good

11:32

point. I mean, they know. Badly they were roasted by

11:34

Chase slash. They were embarrassed by Chase in the

11:36

regular season. They can't that was Kansas City

11:38

shut down in the

11:39

second half.

11:39

Right. Games

11:40

have been wild. So close and

11:42

right there every fourth quarter.

11:44

Isn't it funny? Paint Mani comes on

11:46

national TV and so the biggest hoax in football is

11:48

second half adjustments. Yeah. never made

11:50

one. Never made one. What do you do when you go to the halftime, you go to

11:52

the bathroom, eat a couple of oranges, okay, culture.

11:54

Let's go. Yeah. Yet,

11:56

the bangles get much credit for their second half

11:59

adjustments or how they adjust throughout the game

12:01

later

12:01

on. And a lot of that has been against this Chiefs

12:03

team. Yeah. And the playoffs

12:05

at home. And VSiN shut him down like that. Right? Yeah.

12:07

And then the playoff game was just

12:09

weird last year. I mean, the the

12:11

decision before half time and then to throw

12:13

it well, behind the line of scrimmage and

12:15

then, you know, not taking points and how

12:17

VSiN that came back to bite them too. And it looks like they were gonna

12:20

blow them out Cincinnati makes the

12:21

comeback. There was a huge play on Tyria kill in

12:24

that game.

12:24

Right? To slap him like at the one yard That was before

12:26

half that was right before half that was

12:27

I threw it to him. Yeah. Never had a

12:29

chance. That's

12:30

right. Up next,

12:32

a segment we like to call here,

12:34

Real or Fuehgei. It

12:36

might not sound accurate at first.

12:39

16:36

is real or frugazing unfollowed

16:38

money. Paulie

16:41

number one, if the

16:43

bangles go through the

16:44

VSiN, Bills, and Chiefs

16:47

just to make the Super Bowl

16:49

THEY HAVE TO BE FAVOURED AGAINST THE EAGLE

16:51

OR THE forty

16:52

NIMERS. IS THAT REAL OR THAT FUGAYCE?

16:54

THAT'S FUGAYCE. Reporter: WOW!

16:56

IF IT'S FEDELFIRE. And

17:00

Mahomes has compromised and not even

17:02

close to himself.

17:05

Turns out

17:05

the bills were a bit of a

17:07

fraud. Also turns out that this guy might be fifty or

17:09

sixty percent. And when

17:11

they when when they've been healthy,

17:14

They beat themselves. They

17:16

were sloppy on Monday night, but that's the only time

17:18

Philly's lost the game. So I

17:20

think Philly would have to be a short favorite in

17:22

that particular match up. If if all

17:25

the, you know, if what if the what if the what

17:27

ifs all come into play there. That's your

17:29

opinion. Those VSiN

17:29

fraudulent. Yes. I would

17:31

agree with that sentiment. VSiN. But I don't think your

17:34

power rating was way off. Yeah.

17:36

Come on. That that's

17:38

you can't debate that they weren't even close to the same team

17:40

or their power rating since the first jet game. I'll

17:42

give you one. What if the Eagles win on a walk off

17:45

field goal close game the whole way

17:47

through? Yeah. Okay. Dangles win by two

17:49

touchdowns VSiN that case. Their favorite. Okay.

17:51

Their favorite then. Yep. The more I think

17:53

about it, the more I think Aaron Rogers is

17:55

going to would make them

17:56

instant. What do you do? Instant AFC

17:59

contenders. Fuget, what

17:59

do you do? You change your mind now? Realer for

18:02

Daisy. Well, yet real, but what'd you change your

18:04

mind for? I didn't

18:05

really change my mind. I You

18:06

weren't buying it all yesterday. No. No. No.

18:08

No. That's wrong. I said the two

18:10

first round picks can't give up two

18:12

first 2 picks for the guy. I said playoff team. You

18:14

said no. No. You said with Mike White playoff

18:17

team. Okay. Go ahead. I challenge you on that. I'm like

18:19

Mike

18:19

White. Oh, he must come down with that.

18:21

What's your thinking? Right.

18:21

yes. Yeah. He's

18:23

he was recently back to back

18:25

2 in this league. The packers then

18:27

said, oh, yes. Will then

18:29

now go do it without Davonte Adams. He would go

18:31

to the 2 who, in my opinion,

18:34

have better weapons today

18:37

clearly over the

18:37

packers. With that defense,

18:41

instant AFC contenders. Absolutely.

18:43

Yes.

18:45

I don't know. You you you you couldn't push back on

18:47

the Mike White stuff because of how bad Wilson

18:50

was when he was in there, and then Mike was

18:52

compromised. But anyways, it it's it's set

18:54

up well, with that roster that they

18:56

could make some noise if you get a star

18:58

quarterback like

18:58

that. Sariyani, not being a coach of

19:00

the year finalist,

19:03

is something

19:03

they will use as

19:06

motivation.

19:06

VSiN. Well, listen. They it might be

19:08

real. To be the one see, someone has

19:10

to get credit for what

19:12

happened this year in Philadelphia. And no one's getting

19:15

credit. Yeah. Her side,

19:17

but they got her, you know, MVP hurts.

19:19

It's the system around them VSiN

19:21

the offensive line and the weapons. And,

19:24

Miriani was the wire to

19:26

wire favorite and wasn't

19:28

even a

19:28

finalist. Someone needs to get credit for what

19:31

happened in Philadelphia.

19:31

Yeah. That's not happening. You know what

19:34

this is? This is the chip, Kelly, Nick Foles, you're all over

19:36

again. It is. Everybody poo poo

19:38

that. Foles at twenty seven and

19:40

2, it's a fluke. Chip Kelly is

19:42

a terrible head coach. Well, it actually happened.

19:44

I watched it. He had seven VSiN thousands of

19:46

one game. Yes. He did play well throughout the

19:48

entire

19:48

year. Yeah. No credit was given that year

19:51

to the Eagles on offense -- Yeah. -- tied to one of

19:53

those guys. Real estate. I I think that might be

19:55

real

19:55

I mean, look look at the angles are using. Well,

19:57

that's an amazing model. This

19:59

is legitimate. Players and coaches are looking for

20:01

any edge they can possibly find any

20:04

possible source of

20:05

motivation, I think this might be

20:08

absolutely real with the Eagles. Yeah.

20:10

I was led to believe Quicksand was gonna

20:12

be a bigger issue when I was a

20:14

kid. Wow. Real a full game

20:15

season. The

20:16

way that

20:16

When we grew up, every, like, TV show or

20:18

movie had quick Santa

20:19

slash out Why don't you guys gonna

20:21

get your signal? Yeah. It's right around the corner.

20:23

No. Swallow you up.

20:24

Yeah. Watch your step. Yeah. Right. Don't look

20:26

before he crossed the road and watch out for that tricky

20:28

quick quick sand. Yeah. Like, bulb of fat and

20:29

return of the Jedi.

20:31

You got it? I

20:34

have no idea. The

20:37

Isn't that funny? The the way that that

20:39

is phrased, the way that we were led to

20:41

2. Yes. The the amount of time it

20:43

was allowed to as a kid off the charts.

20:45

You'll never encounter

20:46

Quick Sand. Yeah. Like, it was like around

20:49

every corner. Where was it? It's gonna be.

20:51

Be careful. Quick And there's gonna be a rattlesnake

20:53

waiting for you as well. Uh-huh. It's like some of these

20:55

characters are on the holiday. So Yeah.

20:57

Okay. Alright. The worst coaching

20:59

hire in the off season will be

21:01

if the Bronco's or any other team

21:03

land on David Shaw as their

21:06

guy. Real or frugacy. Man, that's real.

21:08

That would absolutely be uh-oh, that'd be horrendous.

21:11

That's hack it type stuff

21:12

too. Is he the worst potential candidate

21:15

out there? Think he is, isn't

21:17

he? Probably he's probably

21:19

better than Jeff Saturday.

21:20

Yeah. He's better than Saturday, and this

21:23

might actually happen

21:24

too. I mean, that would just be an

21:27

abomination. If first he brings back

21:29

Saturday -- Uh-huh. -- who has never qualified it from

21:31

a get go VSiN never coached and

21:33

a real level of football and it was a

21:34

disaster. Hold on. I'll bring it back.

21:37

Sure. If the brought goes from

21:39

Hackett to David Shaw -- Oh. -- I'll

21:41

go one

21:41

more. If they go from fangio

21:43

to hack it to David Shaw.

21:45

That's

21:47

just I feel I feel awful for the fan base.

21:50

Was Vance Joseph in there?

21:52

He might Was he but was he Didn't they

21:54

advance

21:54

Joseph? May have

21:55

had him for

21:56

a minute. My timeline might have been screwed up there

21:58

for a

21:59

second. Okay. Oh my god.

22:01

That's wow. We're

22:04

talking Hugh Jackson into Freddie Kitchen's

22:06

territory then -- Yeah. -- how bad it was with

22:08

Cleveland. Yeah. Brock

22:11

Purdy winning rookie of the year would set

22:13

a bad precedent for future

22:15

award winners. Real? Who

22:17

gavesy? Down

22:21

to

22:22

three guys, Purdy, Kenneth Walker,

22:25

and Jeff Wilson. That's

22:27

tough. I

22:30

Fuehgei because he did I think he played

22:33

enough. Oh, now the m b we've done

22:35

this with the NBA. But, I

22:37

mean, you had guys that were awesome, but they

22:39

only played thirty games. Right? That you got a I mean, you

22:41

got a half. But, I mean, he got to

22:43

seven. That's not him. So I know. But he was so

22:45

impressive. But also, you're talking again,

22:47

why they play so many. Why are you playing eighty

22:49

two games in this day and age? But

22:53

It's

22:53

close to seven. I don't think you can give

22:55

me that type of game. I just

22:56

I don't think he can. Okay.

22:58

You can III

22:59

see both sides of that. I see both sides.

23:02

It's tough.

23:03

But also what he did was so damn impressive.

23:05

I also think that it it also

23:07

it's this

23:09

this doesn't happen if he's a high

23:12

draft

23:12

pick. It's

23:12

because of mister irrelevant. Mhmm. He's supposed to come

23:14

in and stink. Right? And he did

23:16

the

23:16

exact VSiN

23:17

of those expectations

23:17

and they kept the right ones. The bar was

23:20

so

23:20

low. And we saw how bad

23:22

Trey Lance

23:22

was. I would also say the reason why he can win

23:24

his and this

23:25

is no well, it is gonna be a shot at

23:27

Walker and Wilson. The the

23:30

other candidates There's no Jamar Chase this

23:31

year. You know

23:33

what I'm

23:33

saying? There's no there's nobody really jumped off the

23:36

page like that dude's gotta be the guy who

23:38

wins

23:38

it. Yeah. I think that's why parties

23:41

also win the mix. The cowboys

23:43

will not I'm gonna go one more. Oh. On the

23:44

cowboys, they will not win another

23:47

Super Bowl in our lifetime. Is there real

23:49

or fuehzey? That's

23:49

Fu Ghazi. I will change it. They will not

23:52

VSiN another Super Bowl in Jerry

23:54

Jones lifetime.

23:55

As long

23:56

as he's calling the shots, it's not

23:58

gonna happen. He might not live you.

24:00

What's happened? Oh, you say that all the

24:03

time. You know how many years you have left? We

24:05

gotta get off to shift. This

24:07

No. Jerry didn't look well

24:09

on Sunday, but that's father

24:11

times on the feet of the kids up against it. Mhmm.

24:13

But but but it also goes back

24:16

to He it's no coincidence

24:18

that since the Jimmy Johnson thing,

24:20

it was just an embarrassment of riches and they

24:22

were so good. His line came to fruition about anyone

24:25

can coach team and went. Yeah. And then

24:27

Barry got it. Barry Switzer. But you

24:29

can't you can't be serious with Big Mike. Yep. And

24:31

then you're gonna fire fire assistant

24:33

coaches.

24:34

But keep big mon keep him on board. Don't get Sean

24:36

paid. Right? Quinn win who wins a

24:38

title first? Yankee's or cowboys?

24:43

They're

24:43

both

24:43

wildly disappointing. When Cashman's a big

24:46

reason why too? There's no way you can argue that.

24:48

Right. Oh, god.

24:49

Oh, boy.

24:52

I'll

24:52

have to say

24:53

yankees. Yankees are close,

24:55

cowboys aren't close. Yankees just half

24:57

can't get by the Astros.

24:59

I'd

25:00

probably go Yankee's too. Yeah. I'd probably go to

25:03

Dallas. I mean, this is you see Dax

25:05

issues VSiN the playoffs and Okay. Last

25:07

VSiN, you'd be Tampa. Who Yeah. Joker did not play last

25:09

night, but he's averaging twenty

25:11

five eleven and nine point nine

25:14

assists. He's the odds on favorite to three

25:16

Pete as the NBA MVP. Yet,

25:19

Polly, he is

25:19

underrated. Real Fuehze. That is real.

25:22

He is underrated. And plane Denver

25:24

hurts him. That's

25:24

But it just what he does People

25:28

need to be more aware of the on

25:30

off numbers with

25:31

this guy. They're one of the worst teams in

25:33

the league when he's on the bench. And they're

25:35

awesome. That's like the Curry stuff too. Same thing with

25:38

Curry the on off numbers. But what he

25:40

did last year, he was so that

25:42

this top two players were

25:44

hurt. The second and third best players on

25:46

the team were hurt and somehow he willed them

25:48

into, like, the 2 seat. Mhmm.

25:50

He's yeah. And he's just doing stuff

25:52

out there. It's like every game I'm gonna try

25:55

something new. Now I'll shoot twenty times. Right?

25:57

I'll shoot five times and I'm gonna get everyone

25:59

above. I'm gonna shoot for fifteen

26:00

assists. He's really making a mockery of the game he's deck though. Oh, he would but

26:03

he wants to do the passing.

26:04

2 if he was in a bigger market, he would just be

26:06

the biggest superstar in old tires. Or

26:07

Vienna supporting, better supporting cats. Don't

26:10

forget about it. More player

26:12

him about Mahomes. The the

27:05

27:07

bangles and also some NFL awards that we have coming

27:09

up as well. When you look at the passing

27:11

props, Paulie, coming up

27:13

on Sunday, the overall passing yards.

27:16

Brock Purdy, he's

27:18

across the board, two fifteen and a half, two

27:20

seventeen and a

27:20

2, as high as two twenty and a

27:23

half.

27:23

Mhmm. Will they have success on

27:24

the ground? Yes. Okay.

27:26

I think they will and I don't expect

27:29

party to have a lot of success in

27:31

the air.

27:32

You can when the heat and the blitz gets

27:34

to party, not that the Eagles even have

27:36

VSiN blitz, he turns into a below average

27:39

quarterback. VSiN the eagle secondary is

27:42

elite. So it's gonna have to be a lot of 2 in

27:44

my opinion. And they can do that. They're number one

27:46

in yac. Yes, they are. So if he

27:48

gets the ball up quickly VSiN that, you know, he

27:50

doesn't get caught in no man's land there,

27:52

then potentially. But I'm the more I'm looking at

27:54

this number in the game, I like 2 two nineteen

27:56

and a half. You think he throws a pick? Yes.

27:58

He's a dollar sixty to throw an interception.

28:00

I think he throws, but he's gotten all the way with

28:02

a lot of

28:02

them. Oh. Again, last week, how does

28:05

Dick's drop that? I know. He's been

28:07

lucky. He's good. He's been lucky

28:09

under one and a half touchdowns by the way,

28:11

minus one sixty. There's another purdy

28:12

prop. Alright. So here's his head coach,

28:15

Kyle shanahan, getting

28:16

pretty, ready for Philly, and how

28:18

it compares to playing up in Seattle. I

28:20

think we did that week. I mean, that was huge just

28:22

because that was our first game really all year that

28:24

it was that important, and it was Broad

28:27

County had experience with And so it

28:29

was great to have that, especially with us going to

28:31

Philly. I remember us talking about that that

28:33

week that we needed that. We

28:35

needed that rep case we ended

28:37

up in the NC championship at Philly VSiN we

28:39

got that and very fortunate that

28:41

we did. And feel we're good to go. He knows what to expect. He knows how we

28:43

do it, and we'll give him reps at it

28:45

all week, but he got it ready on just

28:47

a Wednesday when he played

28:48

Thursday. So there won't be an issue

28:51

this week.

28:51

I know that the twelfth man up in Seattle

28:53

has always been really, really loud again, but this is a

28:55

bee's nest he's walking into in

28:58

Philadelphia.

28:58

Yeah. I they

29:00

had Seattle dropped several interceptions in that

29:02

game. Yeah. And but Kiddo was a

29:04

monster in the in the win. Thank

29:06

you to Nikki Stacks on

29:09

Twitter. Who took a screen grab of the coach of the year

29:11

odds prior to week

29:13

fifteen at DraftKings, Nick

29:15

Sioriani was minus four dollars to win the

29:17

award. God. Dan

29:19

Campbell, lines twelve to one, Robert

29:21

Salah, fourteen to one, Kevin O'Connell, was

29:23

twenty to one, Mike McDaniel

29:25

was twenty, Mike McCarthy was twenty five

29:27

to VSiN, The two other

29:29

finalists, Brian Daybell and

29:31

Kyle Shanahan were each thirty five to

29:33

one to win the award before week

29:35

fifteen. Pete Carol was thirty to one.

29:37

VSiN dollars.

29:39

And I'm gonna VSiN the finalist.

29:41

Oh, This

29:43

is all timer. VSiN here we go, the media asked

29:46

him about that this week. Hey,

29:51

Bob. Bob did just tell me that, right, when we when

29:53

we walked down here. Yeah.

29:56

You know, that's that's something I can't

29:59

control. And those awards are nice

30:01

and VSiN everything like that. I'm really

30:03

happy for Jalian and Shane that

30:05

they that they're that they're

30:07

on that. But we have obviously bigger

30:10

things ahead and on our

30:12

sites than individual awards.

30:15

Well, you know who should be pissed off, people

30:18

who have Sayuriyani from the

30:20

preseason, or from right away, like week one,

30:22

week 2, and were holding these tickets and it

30:24

was looking like, you know, you had a great

30:26

chance to cash it. And that guy can't

30:28

even be made a finalist, not even

30:30

named in the top three. Yeah.

30:32

Oh, boy. That is a

30:34

kick to the bread basket,

30:35

man. Gotta use that as

30:38

motivation. VSiN. That's real. That's

30:40

real, not like what they're doing in Cincinnati.

30:42

I mean, this is real about, hey, come

30:44

on. This is ultimate disrespect here. Fair

30:46

enough. What happened? We were the one seat

30:48

someone's VSiN we made the playoffs last

30:50

year, but also how I coached

30:52

up Hertz and developed Hertz.

30:55

Didn't

30:55

throw a ball like this last year. Yeah. The offense has

30:57

been great this year. It really has been

31:00

this is the Buffalo Bills here.

31:03

Disappointing way to go 2. They were listless

31:05

on offense last week. Allen and

31:07

Company really didn't do much. They only scored ten points

31:09

in the snow at home. Mhmm.

31:11

And quite frankly, they were destroyed by the bengals

31:13

in Cincinnati was clearly the better team.

31:16

Their GM, Brandon Bean,

31:18

and this was making the rounds yesterday,

31:20

he said when he's

31:22

comparing rosters and the state of their team

31:24

to

31:24

others, I don't wanna suck bad enough

31:26

to get Jamal Chase. No.

31:29

They have a good team. I mean,

31:31

they right now are on the advantage of

31:33

a rookie quarterback

31:34

contract. And,

31:36

you know, they had some lean years

31:39

and without getting

31:41

too much into their build you

31:44

know, I don't wanna I

31:46

don't wanna suck bad enough to have to

31:48

get

31:49

2 Like, he's a heck of a town. I'd love

31:51

to have him, but

31:52

you gotta you

31:53

gotta go through some lean years

31:56

to do And, you know,

31:58

they,

31:58

you know, they were able to get borough VSiN

32:01

and I don't remember where Chase was drafted, but it

32:03

was pretty high. And those guys

32:05

are on their rookie deals. We're

32:07

paying Stephane Diggs. A

32:09

pretty hefty number. We're paying Josh Allen a pretty hefty

32:12

number. So there is the constraints

32:14

of the cap. But

32:16

they have a they have really good team and they

32:18

got some good young players.

32:21

Okay. So Chice one fifth.

32:24

I found it refreshing. K. And what he

32:26

said there was the absolute

32:27

truth. And

32:28

I know people had a problem with

32:31

what he said about sucking enough to that's all he

32:33

is is telling you what the bendos were like.

32:35

They were not a good football team. And

32:37

he doesn't VSiN like, the worst team in

32:39

football, end up with those players. And now he

32:41

because Josh Ella had to sign a monster contract.

32:43

And they had that, you know, they had to make them

32:45

that offer, and they did.

32:48

And he's their guy. But they also, you know, they did not have to

32:50

trade and give up a lot of money for digs and they did

32:52

that. That true? You have to make that You could

32:54

have drafted somebody in the draft. Yeah.

32:56

You had some injuries, especially on the

32:59

defensive side of the ball. I guess everyone has that.

33:01

The other thing, don't get out coached? In

33:03

Buffalo, there's extreme mood, but out coaching

33:05

the playoffs. Three years in a row. The other thing, the

33:07

big story at the end of the back end of the year was

33:09

the regression of Josh Allen, or at least he

33:11

didn't play close to MVP level. Mhmm.

33:13

The turnovers were a big problem all

33:15

year long. And he did not get it to ten

33:17

points at a

33:17

whole. Come on. Ten points. Yeah.

33:20

Paul. Ten not happen. I'm looking at the Super Bowl

33:22

odds for next year, twenty twenty

33:24

four. Cheeps plus five fifty,

33:27

Bill's six to one. Nighters

33:30

are seven to one, bangles are nine to

33:32

one. I think

33:34

those are reversed. Mhmm.

33:36

Again, I'm

33:37

not saying this because of what happened on

33:39

the field on Sunday.

33:40

If you've listened to VSiN show at all

33:43

going back to almost October, you know how

33:45

much I love this Cincinnati VSiN. I

33:47

think the bangles need to be lower on the board than

33:49

the bills. People need to admit

33:51

that they got something wrong with Buffalo

33:53

or or go back and VSiN tweak the numbers

33:55

here, with their power ratings?

33:57

And adjust how Alan played down this stretch and how

33:59

the defense wasn't nearly as good as we we

34:02

thought they

34:02

were. And they misdable.

34:03

That was another thing 2. Yeah. As

34:05

well. So will they use this, you think?

34:07

Had to say, you don't wanna suck bad enough to

34:09

get chase. Well, they use this

34:12

too. Burrow was asked about using

34:14

everything they can

34:16

for

34:16

motivation.

34:16

VSiN just I

34:17

think that's that's part of this game and

34:20

part of being a

34:22

competitor, whether it's football or

34:24

basketball or baseball or any sport

34:26

you're gonna

34:26

you know, you're gonna find anything any little

34:27

thing you can whether it that

34:30

helps or

34:32

it doesn't.

34:33

I know I I

34:36

know nobody in that locker room needs

34:38

any more motivation than what's

34:41

inside of

34:41

them, and that's why we're we're so

34:43

good.

34:43

But whenever

34:44

you can find some some little thing externally,

34:46

it's

34:47

you might

34:47

as well

34:48

use it. I

34:49

love that kid. But, Joe, I think he's so good.

34:51

He knows. He's laughing at the end as well. No,

34:53

he is. Okay. The the this stuff the last couple weeks

34:55

has been ridiculous. Maybe you

34:58

guys walked off the field too on a Monday night

35:00

game. Well, you did the right thing, but you

35:02

walked off the field. So stop with the league

35:04

as it in force and The league is yeah. The

35:06

league wants to sell tickets to a game that's gonna

35:08

be played in eight days if Buffalo

35:10

wins. You're doing the same

35:11

thing. You're playing Jacksonville. If

35:13

Jacksonville upsets Kansas City, you'd like

35:15

to put people in

35:17

the stadium. The

35:18

dumbest thing I've ever heard, they're screaming in the locker

35:20

room. Refunds. You're doing the same thing. It was

35:23

laughable with all

35:24

this crap. But are we

35:25

beyond that point now,

35:28

though? You should be. It's the AFC title game. I mean, well well, sorry.

35:30

I'll be there. We're getting more

35:32

motivation for. What's on the line

35:35

here? Come

35:36

on. It's to go to back to back Super Bowls. Yeah. It's a legacy game.

35:38

And I like what I get VSiN our guest

35:40

said thirty five minutes ago, Richard Skinner.

35:43

From channel twelve in Cincinnati. If Burrow just if

35:45

he goes back to the Super Bowl this year, he'll be

35:47

the biggest, like, athlete not even

35:50

close. He said

35:52

this will take him to infinity in that city. Right. And for years, it was always

35:54

a redstone. No longer the case, they stink

35:56

bengals are great. He he pointed out how

35:58

the Big O played there for

36:00

a long time doesn't

36:00

matter, Burrow is gonna be the king in that city. Probably for the rest

36:03

of his life just to make it

36:05

back there

36:06

again.

36:08

Very impressive.

36:08

Yeah. He'll never pay

36:09

for skyline chili ever again. No.

36:11

No. By the way,

36:12

one more VSiN. On the coach of

36:14

the year, Doug Peterson was not even on the

36:17

board. We'd be before week

36:19

fifteen. Well, yeah, they were four and eight or five in it.

36:22

Yes?

36:24

Yes. and eight saved the season the comeback against

36:25

Dallas. The the tight Tennessee had the

36:28

one

36:29

played. Imagine

36:31

that if you -- Yeah. --

36:32

I could see that But why Peterson? Well,

36:34

Peter, he's

36:35

got 2 unbelievable case to win it.

36:37

You want a bad division though, You were

36:38

formed. It doesn't matter. You

36:39

know, come dumpster fire last year. Yeah. But that's

36:41

all he's getting credit for urban admirers. He

36:44

should want to read though. He should

36:46

get credit.

36:47

For that. Lawrence couldn't play a

36:49

year

36:49

ago.

36:49

Yeah. And they

36:50

were the most team involved fight back to back

36:52

years. Well,

36:53

no one thought Seattle would go to

36:55

the playoffs. SIRIANI

36:56

got the one seat. I mean, there's a lot of candidates.

36:58

So to someone, if you're only gonna cut

37:00

it down to three, how about Dan

37:02

Campbell? You could say, while you were one at

37:04

six, while you have a hell of a job though, you almost made

37:06

the playoffs. We'll

37:07

continue talking awards with Pete Prisco from

37:09

CBS Sports Up Next. As he

37:11

River Squares, dot com. Pete Prisco joins the program

40:28

now. Senior NFL columnist, CBS

40:30

sports dot com. Pete,

40:32

pleasure talking to you as always. Thanks for the time

40:36

today. Do you expect now to see from the homes

40:38

coming up on Sunday? The video

40:40

yesterday looked promising, I think, is

40:42

the word

40:44

to use. this point spread now has flipped as the

40:46

bengals were as high as two and a half in

40:48

most books, three VSiN a

40:50

couple for

40:51

a few minutes before it shifted back down. And now I'm looking at the

40:54

Chiefs minus one in a lot of

40:56

books. Yeah.

40:56

I think you gotta be cautious with

40:58

that video because, yeah, he looked good

41:01

walking off the podium walking straight, but it doesn't mean he's gonna be

41:03

able to plan his foot and make all the throws and

41:05

get outside the pocket. And for me, it's

41:07

not about standing in the pocket and

41:09

making throws at about his ability to create all schedule. And

41:11

he's been great at that. That's been such a big part of

41:14

who he is. As a player,

41:16

you wonder if that will be limited because he's

41:18

not going to

41:20

be able get outside and create with his legs as much to

41:22

you know, he doesn't create the run, he creates

41:24

the throw. And so you wonder if that's

41:27

2 be limited because of the injury. And if it is,

41:29

the bagels are gonna go after them.

41:30

I mean, I think they go after them anyways. They're an aggressive

41:32

team, but I think they're gonna go after them.

41:36

Yep. I think you're spot on with that. Is it safe to say that

41:38

it's very difficult to have a true

41:40

opinion on this game until you'll watch

41:42

him on at least the first driver

41:44

too?

41:45

2,

41:46

I think you get a better idea,

41:48

yeah, because, you know, look,

41:50

he's probably gonna 2 some

41:52

pain medication in there VSiN

41:55

limit what you can do in terms of the pain threshold, but

41:57

that doesn't mean that he could still be able

41:59

to move around. And until you see him

42:01

break contain and get outside the

42:02

pocket, I don't think you 26th a real idea of

42:05

what yet.

42:05

That doesn't mean he can't complete passes inside

42:07

the pocket. I mean, the 2 great quarterback, he can

42:09

do it. But everything he's done in his

42:12

career has been predicated on

42:14

his ability to create and get away from pressure

42:16

and make plays down the field. So it'll be interesting

42:18

to see how they change. What do you do with

42:20

Kelsey? Do you double him? I mean,

42:22

they've had success against Kelsey in their

42:23

past. Although, he had gotten

42:24

catches last year

42:25

in that game in the postseason. But before that,

42:27

they held him to five or less in in every

42:29

single game. So I

42:31

do think that it's

42:31

gonna be important to

42:34

get him outside the pocket at some point because that's just

42:36

who he is as a

42:37

quarterback. Yeah. What are you expecting in the other game? I've

42:39

heard a couple of people make

42:41

the case for the win it 2, but mostly

42:43

I'm hearing Philadelphia. And we just talked about this before

42:45

you joined us. Are you surprised that

42:47

Nick's here, Yani, did

42:49

not even make The final three finalist for coach of the

42:51

year, he was a four dollar favorite going into week

42:54

fifteen.

42:56

No.

42:56

No. Am I surprise, maybe that he

42:59

wasn't one of the finalists. Yeah. My

43:01

surprise that he's not going to win the

43:03

coach of the year, probably not. I

43:05

mean, I think if you look at it, I think Kyle Shanahan is doing the same

43:07

thing with this three quarter. He's down to his third straight

43:09

quarterback. I think that's part

43:11

of the reason. VSiN, you

43:13

know, Doug Peterson did a hell of a job getting a team

43:16

that had the first overall pick, you know, to

43:18

the second level of the playoffs. So

43:20

there's other coaches out there, but I and

43:22

Pieriani certainly should have been in the

43:23

mix. I like the Eagles in the I think the Eagles off at the line is the

43:26

real deal. And I think they're gonna

43:27

be able to call to control the clock,

43:29

control the VSiN. And if

43:31

you I'm always been a big believer if you block the

43:33

forty nineers to get a beat of both running the

43:36

ball but down the field as

43:37

well. Speddy network, Pete Prisco,

43:39

our guest, CBS sports follow him on

43:41

Twitter. He is at Prisco CBS. Do you think that

43:44

party played enough games to

43:46

warrant winning rookie of

43:48

the year?

43:50

No, I don't. I mean, that that vote

43:52

is done by the way. You know, at the after

43:54

the last week of the regular season, it

43:57

doesn't count the post season. So to

43:59

answer your question, no, I don't think he does. He's in the conversation,

44:01

but I don't think he warrants being rookie

44:03

26th the offense of rookie of

44:06

the year. Now his

44:08

favor is there's no dominant player

44:10

to win that award. I think it's an

44:12

award that will be split up by a lot

44:14

of different guys. Gary Wilson's in the conversation.

44:17

I think Chris Ollie's in the

44:18

conversation. Kenneth Walker's in the conversation, and

44:21

he is as well, but I don't think

44:23

he played enough games to VSiN or

44:25

Who do you

44:25

think when's it? I think our Wilson will win it. You're

44:27

gonna get a Jet's wide

44:28

receiver. Alright. What about They

44:31

are

44:31

what what what? Yeah. Pete Pete,

44:33

I think the combat player of the year needs

44:35

some fine print below because

44:38

we don't like, what are you coming back from? Gino

44:40

Smith really never came back from an injury. I came back from really

44:42

playing well or playing at all. And

44:44

now he is one of the finalists. Barkley

44:46

came back from injury.

44:49

McCaffrey certainly did. I

44:51

mean, right now if you had to bet on it, which one of those three players do you think? When does that VSiN

44:53

back player of the year? I

44:55

think you

44:58

would be Me

45:00

personally, I think you'd have to think the guy who comes back from the

45:02

injury. I I don't think coming back from a

45:04

bad season is exactly what the award is meant

45:06

to

45:06

be. I I just don't think it

45:09

would be. For me personally. I VSiN think it's it's an award

45:12

that has to be for a guy 2 back

45:14

from injury and and which is why McAfee

45:16

is the guy I

45:17

think. We'll should and

45:20

will win award. I think he should

45:21

win the award. Good

45:21

day. Coming back from a bad

45:24

season is not a comeback. back. It's

45:26

coming back

45:27

a bad season or a season where he didn't play. Yep.

45:29

That's not being comeback player of the year. Very

45:32

good, Pete. Very good. What what do you think

45:34

happens with Sean Payton? Does he sit it

45:36

out a year? Does come

45:37

back, what do you think happens?

45:38

Well, I think, you know, the

45:40

saint's talking about the compensation VSiN very

45:43

good for Sean Payton. I mean, I think

45:45

Sean thought he would get out of there

45:47

for you know, a mid

45:49

late one. And now you hear the same

45:51

saying that we haven't necessarily set

45:53

the compensation, but they've mentioned, you

45:55

know, two ones. And so I think that's going to be a

45:57

hindrance to Sean getting back in. Next

45:59

year, the

45:59

price probably comes down because he's going to be

46:02

its final

46:04

year of contract and then maybe get out then. But I

46:06

think ultimately the right

46:08

situation might not be there for Champagne and he

46:10

can go back to VSiN work at Fox 2 then

46:12

get back in next

46:13

year. Mhmm. Do you think David

46:14

Shaw gets a job?

46:16

I mean, look, the

46:19

NFL is is really like David

46:21

Shaw for a long time. He

46:23

has ties to the

46:23

NFL. He's been in the NFL. He was a good

46:26

successful coach at a school that's hard to

46:28

win games

46:28

in the Pac-twelve. And so I

46:31

think eventually he might, but

46:33

it just becomes whether he wants to do

46:35

it again. I mean, there's a reason guys

46:37

step away and you wonder why stepped

46:39

away. So I I do think the SL was enamored

46:41

with David

46:42

Shaw, though. It's very early in this process.

46:44

You know, he's probably gonna take his time again,

46:46

if you had a bet on where Aaron Rogers is gonna play next year, or if

46:48

he

46:48

plays, what would you do there with your

46:51

with your own

46:52

money? I think

46:53

he goes back to Green Bay. I think they

46:55

figured out, look, that contract

46:58

is really prohibitive. And if you're

47:00

going to be a team that trades 2 round

47:02

pick, or whatever to go get him. And there's no guarantee

47:04

he's going to play pass next year. So

47:06

I don't think that there's

47:09

going to be great market for him unless you're going to get him on

47:11

a one year rent on. How many teams can afford to do

47:14

that? So I think he goes

47:15

back to Green Bay. 2 VSiN

47:17

think part of by the way, is him wanting his guys back

47:20

in pre bay, and this might be a little bit of leverage

47:22

to try and get them back in

47:24

pre

47:24

bay. Are you

47:25

mentioned that you like the Eagles in the game on Sunday? Who

47:27

are they playing in

47:28

the Super Bowl?

47:30

The Bengal. Look, the

47:32

Bengal VSiN even if Mahomes healthy. I think

47:34

the bengals, they don't fear them. You know, there's a lot of kids

47:36

that go to Kansas City and they get caught up in

47:38

the moment, but they don't fear them. And and

47:40

what they've done on defense, I mean, Louinterama

47:43

has done a great job with that defense, and they come at

47:45

you in so many different ways. They confused

47:47

Josh Allen in the bills office last week.

47:49

They came with late blisters and

47:51

the corner blisters I think they're

47:53

gonna have this success doing that against Patrick

47:55

Mahomes, particularly if he can't move.

47:58

You can read Pete at

48:00

CBS Sports dot com. He is their senior NFL analyst. Follow him on

48:02

Twitter. He is at prisco

48:03

CVS. Thanks for the time today. Enjoy the

48:05

games on Sunday.

48:06

VSiN got it,

48:07

Take care. Thanks, Pete. Yeah. I

48:09

totally agree with him

48:10

to come 2 player the year thing. Yeah.

48:12

Yeah. That

48:12

is and Marty did not play enough games. IIII

48:15

go down that path too. Yeah.

48:16

2 said, you can't come back

48:18

for having a bad year. Right. Not the

48:20

spirit of the award. But, you know,

48:23

again, I'll also keep repeating myself.

48:25

Someone needs credit for

48:27

what's happened this year in Philadelphia, and they will use that as

48:29

bold and board

48:30

material, see if it works out on

48:32

Sunday. So is there anything that you can

48:34

take away from that to next year? I

48:37

mean, Sariyani was a four dollar favorite

48:39

-- Yeah. -- four week fifteen. Doug

48:42

Peterson was off the board. Sure. It's

48:44

like your golfing with comeback player of

48:46

the year. I would say these long shots are never out of it.

48:48

Yeah. I mean, you this is now like a a

48:50

series track record when it

48:52

comes to other awards

48:54

than the MVP in the NFL,

48:57

huge numbers were still available

48:59

late on some of these players.

49:01

I mean, oh, this is where the automakers

49:03

are guessing. Go back to defensive player of

49:05

the year. Yeah. Both thought Marcus Smart shouldn't

49:07

have won that. Then Bill Simmons starts talking about on his

49:09

podcast and some other people, and he becomes the favorite -- It

49:11

takes a hundred to

49:12

one. -- yep. Even this year even this year,

49:14

Micah Parsons was a ten dollar

49:17

favorite VSiN, like, week nine. That's

49:19

right. And that's looney tunes. You're gonna

49:21

grab bosses still late in the VSiN, like plus

49:23

two fifty. Yep. Even though he's gonna run

49:25

away with

49:26

it. Mike Prichard played the NFL for a long time. He

49:27

was also injured before. So

49:30

he's been through this process. What what is Mahomes

49:32
