Tax Act knows filing taxes can be confusing, so we have live experts on hand who can help
00:00:05
answer any questions you may have.
00:00:08
Questions like "Can I claim my SUV is my home office if I answer work emails in my car?"
00:00:14
If I adopted 12 dogs this year, can I list them as dependents?
00:00:19
And am I doing this right or am I doing this very, very wrong?
00:00:24
Our experts have the answers to those questions and many others.
00:00:28
Tax Act
00:00:29
Let's get them over with.
00:00:30
Off top.
00:00:31
Go ahead, Charlie.
00:00:32
I can't wait for this weekend to see Jane Daniels, AKA Waiting Whamnills, AKA Jesus,
00:00:40
AKA Mobile Mahomes, AKA Regular Season Lamar.
00:00:45
Absolutely cook!
00:00:47
Play the music!
00:00:48
This is the Dominique Fox Werf Show.
00:00:51
Alright, welcome to the Dominique Fox Werf Show.
00:00:59
If you were unaware, those are all of their current nicknames for Charlie's beloved
00:01:04
Jane Daniels.
00:01:05
So, me and I will join us a little later, will break down the games.
00:01:09
But Charlie's been trying to pretend like, I mean he does love Jane Daniels, but he's been
00:01:13
trying to pretend like he was first to Jane Daniels Island.
00:01:17
I was clearly first to Jane Daniels Island, and I welcome you here.
00:01:20
I don't want to fight.
00:01:22
I can share my beachfront property with you.
00:01:24
You can join us.
00:01:25
You can pull out a towel.
00:01:26
There's some condos for sale.
00:01:28
You can join us.
00:01:29
I look.
00:01:30
I'm glad I got on the island while there was still beachfront property.
00:01:33
I'm not in the condo.
00:01:34
There are definitely some condos on Jane Daniels Island, being built by the day.
00:01:40
I can buy up all the property to make sure that it doesn't get too built up.
00:01:46
It's a good island to be on.
00:01:50
You laughed at me because I got trapped on Dak Prescott Island.
00:01:53
You got trapped on a few islands.
00:01:55
There are some islands that I'm happy to be on, but the Dak Prescott Island, I got trapped
00:02:00
on it.
00:02:01
I'm not mad to be there, but it was such a ridiculous thing.
00:02:03
I think I've told this story before here, but it's, I started defending Dak because I was
00:02:09
listening to our friend Dan Orlowski try to act like Carson Witch was better than Dak Prescott.
00:02:14
I'm like, I'm watching the games.
00:02:15
This is back when they were going head to head.
00:02:17
I'm watching these games, and so then I just went off on them and we did some wagers
00:02:22
and all this other stuff, and then eventually Carson Witch got traded, and Dan Orlowski left
00:02:29
the island.
00:02:30
Then I was stuck on the island all by myself, and then from then on out, everyone was like,
00:02:33
you're the guy who loves that.
00:02:34
I was like, I mean, Dak's good, but really, the reason why I was on Dak's island was because
00:02:38
I had to listen to Dan Orlowski tell me that Carson Witch was better when I was looking
00:02:43
as like, no, Carson Witch is a product of this situation.
00:02:45
See, you island with honor.
00:02:47
You stand on your islands.
00:02:49
You have an archipelago of crappy islands.
00:02:51
I just know.
00:02:52
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:02:53
It aims at more crappy islands.
00:02:54
So you're on the Leven Durant Islands.
00:02:56
Leven Durant.
00:02:57
And you can't be a Leven Durant.
00:02:59
He's got championship.
00:03:00
They're curious.
00:03:01
You built like a 4,000 square foot house on Caleb Williams Island after you passed for 86
00:03:08
yards against Washington.
00:03:09
Well, I'm not ashamed of that.
00:03:11
No, no, I'm just going to--
00:03:12
I'm going to--
00:03:13
You did buy it a really high point of that island.
00:03:15
Right now, I could be like, oh, I'll get a little house next to Ben Johnson on this cheap
00:03:20
island.
00:03:21
I was-- I also was on Marvin Harrison Jr. Island.
00:03:25
Yeah.
00:03:26
That's a bad one, which we exposed at the live show.
00:03:28
I was a big Brock Bower's Island guy when people were like, ooh, look at this bad haircut
00:03:32
in this sideways-pointing feet standing next to Brock in Lotto Trader's shirt.
00:03:36
I watched him play football.
00:03:37
I was like, this guy.
00:03:38
He's the best guy in the field for a number of games.
00:03:41
They had a lot of great guys on the field.
00:03:43
The Jalen Carter on his team, and I was like, that guy's the most athletic.
00:03:46
Oh, yeah.
00:03:47
I'm trying to think of other islands that-- I feel like I can only think of recent
00:03:50
islands.
00:03:51
What are the-- I think-- I guess you can't claim LeBron Islands.
00:03:57
But when people were turning on LeBron, we were going to want championships.
00:04:01
When LeBron left Cleveland-- oh, I brought up all the island property I could, but I guess
00:04:07
that's not a fun island to talk about.
00:04:09
I don't know.
00:04:10
I mean, I've got-- I'm holding because I don't-- my little archipelago of anti-Richards
00:04:14
in islands.
00:04:15
I'll keep that.
00:04:16
I was too big of a coward to buy early on jobs.
00:04:19
That island.
00:04:20
You're stuck on that island.
00:04:21
I don't want that island.
00:04:22
I got to be honest.
00:04:23
I was too big of a coward to buy early on Josh Allen Island.
00:04:25
I would just walk around our office because we were going to be a spanned office several
00:04:28
of us.
00:04:29
Josh Allen is bad.
00:04:30
It's the worst draft pick of all time.
00:04:31
The bill should be ashamed of themselves.
00:04:33
And I would just walk around and be like, he's 21, are we sure he sucks?
00:04:37
Are we sure he sucks?
00:04:39
See, you were written on island when you should have bought.
00:04:41
That was too late.
00:04:42
This was the prices I had.
00:04:43
And I got too much Simmons brain, which is the-- I started to-- are we sure?
00:04:47
Oh, rather than actually take a moment.
00:04:49
Because you felt like he was good.
00:04:51
No, I felt like he wasn't bad.
00:04:53
He wasn't bad.
00:04:54
I was just like, he's weird.
00:04:55
He's hurtling people.
00:04:56
They put this guy in the-- and you remember his working year when he was just hurtling
00:04:58
everyone?
00:04:59
I do remember him.
00:05:00
And I was like, I was like, I have a tweet from early that year, which was like, "Worse
00:05:04
case scenario be the best tight end in the end of hell."
00:05:08
It's true.
00:05:09
It's a bad tweet.
00:05:10
But it's true.
00:05:11
At the time, that was like the closest to Josh Allen's stand up.
00:05:16
We even producer.
00:05:17
Ooh.
00:05:18
Oh, we can get to our crazy producers.
00:05:21
I just remembered that I did a mock draft, and I believe that I was high on Josh Rosen.
00:05:29
I think I was like, that's a real bad island.
00:05:31
I'm not going to lie.
00:05:32
There was a--
00:05:33
That fell into the ocean.
00:05:34
That island disappeared.
00:05:35
It's no longer here.
00:05:36
It's sunk into the ocean.
00:05:37
I was culturally obligated to support Josh.
00:05:40
Fair point, Charlie Krabitz.
00:05:42
But anyway, climate change has flooded that island out.
00:05:46
It's not even on the maps anymore.
00:05:47
Don't worry.
00:05:48
He's at Wharton.
00:05:49
He's going to be doing fine.
00:05:50
Oh, did he go to Wharton?
00:05:51
He's at Wharton right now.
00:05:52
Oh.
00:05:53
When you look at the draft stuff from that draft, it's like Josh Allen, multiple time all pro.
00:05:57
Lamar Jackson, multiple time all pro.
00:05:59
Sam Dianne will come back player in the year, Baker Mayfield, multiple time pro-bola now.
00:06:03
Josh Rosen Wharton.
00:06:04
Yeah.
00:06:05
He's probably going to buy it to you.
00:06:06
Yeah.
00:06:07
He came from money, right?
00:06:08
I remember that painting thing.
00:06:09
They were like, he does it.
00:06:11
I would push back on this and don't tell anybody.
00:06:13
This is just between me and you.
00:06:15
They would say about certain players, he's too smart or he cares about too many other things
00:06:19
than football.
00:06:20
And I would push back.
00:06:21
Let's stoop it.
00:06:22
People can have other answers.
00:06:23
Josh Rosen did knock me off of that, but I kind of like a guy who don't give a fuck about
00:06:28
nothing.
00:06:29
Yeah.
00:06:30
I mean, do you remember when you had the hot tub in this dorm room as a freshman?
00:06:32
Oh.
00:06:33
What a great move.
00:06:34
I was like this.
00:06:35
This is Jesus.
00:06:36
Jesus shovels worth.
00:06:37
This is from the program, it was a quarterback in the program, they have Kane or something.
00:06:43
Yeah.
00:06:44
I keep wanting to say Mox, but that was from varsity blues.
00:06:46
Yeah, it was Kane.
00:06:47
It was Kane.
00:06:48
Lance Harbor.
00:06:49
Now Lance Harbor cared too much about ball, but Tweeter would have had a hot tub in this
00:06:53
dorm room.
00:06:54
You remember that in the program, they had to cut out that scene in the movie where the
00:06:59
quarterback was laying Kane was laying on traffic lines.
00:07:02
Oh, yeah.
00:07:03
Yeah.
00:07:04
You cut that out?
00:07:05
Yeah, I remember.
00:07:06
It was just in the DVD.
00:07:07
I remember there was a big controversy because the kids were doing it or something, they thought
00:07:11
kids were doing it.
00:07:12
They had to cut it out of the movie.
00:07:15
I mean, just that was the amount of like meathead high school kids that would yell place
00:07:19
at the table.
00:07:20
Oh, yeah.
00:07:21
Did you ever do this?
00:07:22
I was younger though.
00:07:23
I'm surprised that the kids your age liked the program.
00:07:25
Everyone loved it.
00:07:26
Really?
00:07:27
Everyone loved it.
00:07:28
Yeah.
00:07:29
Because, I mean, hit them till snap bubbles come out.
00:07:31
Mac legend.
00:07:32
How does your age, your generation feel about any given Sunday as a movie?
00:07:37
It's rules.
00:07:38
Oh, okay.
00:07:39
Yeah.
00:07:40
Yeah.
00:07:41
I mean, it's a terrible movie, but it's an awesome movie.
00:07:42
Do you remember it?
00:07:43
So there's a scene where players, I get to know that.
00:07:44
Yeah.
00:07:45
Of course.
00:07:46
And the special effects guy had just been like, we had this sweet eye.
00:07:50
I think that's how that came to be.
00:07:51
You think that wasn't written in the script?
00:07:52
I want to see the screenplay.
00:07:53
I have the screenplay says, I pops out.
00:07:57
How hard do you think it was to keep Lawrence Taylor from actually just annihilating someone
00:08:01
when they did football scenes?
00:08:02
That's one of the best things about the Wade and Wannules.
00:08:06
Can I go with Wade and Wannules?
00:08:07
Wade and Wannules, yeah.
00:08:08
But one of the best things about the Wade and Wannules run is that it's forced us to go
00:08:14
back and create a list and start looking at guys who've had awesome rookie seasons.
00:08:20
Yeah.
00:08:21
And Lawrence Taylor, there's few players that it reminds me of Karim Abdul-Jabar, where
00:08:29
it's like, we played the game this way, now he showed up, oh, we were doing it wrong because
00:08:36
like I feel like the Lawrence Taylor position of edge rusher didn't exist before Lawrence
00:08:41
Taylor.
00:08:42
Like the body type, the physicality and explosiveness, like that wasn't a thing.
00:08:47
I mean, it wasn't a thing.
00:08:49
Right.
00:08:50
I mean, that's the entire basis of the blind side, which is now obviously a defunct.
00:08:53
But it's like the left tackle is the position because of Lawrence Taylor.
00:08:57
He's the biggest freak.
00:08:58
Anyone who watched it was like, yeah, I mean, sure, Aaron Donald and JJ Water all time,
00:09:03
great place.
00:09:04
But you had to be there to see what Lawrence Taylor was doing.
00:09:06
But also, you said you had to be there when you obviously weren't there, but you had to
00:09:12
know something was there.
00:09:13
This is shout out to your dad.
00:09:14
Yeah.
00:09:15
Old white's love.
00:09:16
You can, you can find the clips on YouTube of Lawrence Taylor doing amazing things, but
00:09:22
yeah.
00:09:23
Yeah.
00:09:24
And we have this producer named Manny who's got the worst islands.
00:09:28
Honestly, we can't, you can't do too much on it because he'll just get too excited, but
00:09:32
he's got Vince Young, Symbolar, Tashim The Beat, Johnny, Manzel, Tate Force, C.A.
00:09:38
Island.
00:09:39
And they're Tate Force.
00:09:40
And, but to think about this, we have two producers.
00:09:43
That's the bad one.
00:09:44
And the good one by contrast is Daniel Jones Island for producer who.
00:09:51
Well, the other two producers, that's your name.
00:09:53
I mean, they're smart enough not to put themselves on islands.
00:09:57
I feel like, or I don't know, no, Megan's on, I guess it's a good island now, but when, so
00:10:04
we're all in DC and all of our, many of our producers, three of them are, I guess this
00:10:09
YouTube.
00:10:10
Two of you guys, I know three of you guys are commanders fans.
00:10:13
And you and Kevin abandoned the commanders.
00:10:17
I mean, you would watch the gangs, but you would watch them in dispassionately appropriate
00:10:23
synthesis.
00:10:24
Yeah.
00:10:25
You would just laugh at them.
00:10:26
Yeah.
00:10:27
And you say, watch the way they mess it up.
00:10:28
And then you laugh.
00:10:29
Yeah.
00:10:30
And you're like, I don't, or we don't deserve this team.
00:10:31
It's really terrible.
00:10:32
Defense mechanism.
00:10:33
But through this entire time, while this was happening, Megan was quietly furious at both
00:10:37
of you.
00:10:38
Oh, for not rude.
00:10:39
Not quietly.
00:10:40
You're right.
00:10:41
Openly furious at both you.
00:10:42
So to be clear, while I try to claim a little part of, uh, of Jesus Island, Megan's been
00:10:48
on commander's island, back before it was, uh, allowed to be alive when they were good.
00:10:55
It's a huge difference.
00:10:58
Like our fandom.
00:11:00
I guess.
00:11:01
All right.
00:11:02
So, all right.
00:11:03
I'm going to flip it.
00:11:04
You deserve more value on island because you had nothing to believe in.
00:11:09
Exactly.
00:11:10
Like, Megan was born.
00:11:11
She was there before the fall of room.
00:11:13
She was born into this beautiful island.
00:11:16
She left, but she kept property.
00:11:18
You know, you were born somewhere else, and you've been looking at a brochure.
00:11:21
I got it out the butt.
00:11:22
You were looking at a brochure of how this island used to be great.
00:11:26
And you still were like, well, when I get old enough, I'm going to move to this.
00:11:30
That's exactly right.
00:11:31
Exactly.
00:11:32
Exactly.
00:11:33
Now you finally moved there.
00:11:34
And then the Ravens came around and I had friends who were like, should we just come
00:11:36
for Ravens fans?
00:11:37
I guess.
00:11:38
This is pretty good, man.
00:11:39
That's pretty impressive.
00:11:40
You fined off the Ravens because the Ravens, I mean, I assume for this area, like the
00:11:45
Ravens are pretty cool.
00:11:47
And, like, instantly good.
00:11:48
Yeah.
00:11:49
They were all black.
00:11:50
Yeah.
00:11:51
Just vicious on deep.
00:11:52
It's like unique.
00:11:53
They were unique from every other team in the league it felt like.
00:11:56
Yeah.
00:11:57
And you could have just jumped ship, or you did.
00:11:59
Yeah.
00:12:00
And then Lamar showed up any kid right now, if there's a kid right now, this is what we've
00:12:04
talked about.
00:12:05
Yeah.
00:12:06
Yes.
00:12:07
With the like any dynamic of Lamar talking, being talked about online, like, don't worry.
00:12:10
Every kid loves him.
00:12:11
Yeah.
00:12:12
Every kid loves him.
00:12:13
And they got, I mean, this area.
00:12:14
Yeah.
00:12:15
Pretty strong quarterback play.
00:12:16
Can we, I know we're going to get to a larger conversation about the games.
00:12:20
Yeah.
00:12:21
Stick around, guys.
00:12:22
Deep dove into the game.
00:12:23
But right now, we're having fun.
00:12:24
I mean, I'm confident.
00:12:26
This is your analysis.
00:12:29
Oh, yeah.
00:12:30
I mean, I went into that Lions game, like, how's the money, baby?
00:12:35
We're fine.
00:12:36
Like this Lions team.
00:12:37
And I was like, holy s**t.
00:12:38
They can't stop Jayden Daniels.
00:12:40
And that was against the Lions team that obviously they're missing 15 defensive players and
00:12:44
all these guys on IR and blah, blah, blah, blah.
00:12:46
But look, they're playing against Laila nerds and the Laila nerds and the Eagles.
00:12:53
I think I'm scared of that guy.
00:12:56
Can you say house money, baby, for me, more time?
00:13:00
Well, house money, baby, a little house money, baby, I'm sorry.
00:13:09
But you know, the irony is, in this section, interesting conversation, are they playing
00:13:13
with house money because, like, damn, Marino never got back, like health contracts, things
00:13:19
go wrong in football.
00:13:20
There's no, like, there's no guarantees.
00:13:22
Like, if you had said six years ago that Patrick was homes that only won one Super Bowl, I think
00:13:28
we would have all been like, all right, like, just simply possible with the way that, like,
00:13:31
timelines line up.
00:13:33
Similarly, I think if you had said that burrow or Allen or my homes would have none at this
00:13:37
point, we'd be like, so I, there is a part of the house money thing where it's like, you
00:13:41
have a lot of commanders fans saying, like, we're building
00:13:43
something.
00:13:44
But it's like, no, man.
00:13:45
That's the funny thing about the commander situation is I don't even know that you could
00:13:48
argue that we're building something because there aren't a number of, like, cornerstone
00:13:56
pieces.
00:13:57
I think the argument for the commanders is, oh, we got a chance.
00:14:02
Yeah.
00:14:03
We got to build something or, and to your point, or you could finish out this run the way
00:14:07
it is.
00:14:08
I don't know.
00:14:09
I mean, I guess your point is fine, but like, you have to be reasonable.
00:14:13
You could be right.
00:14:14
All these things could go wrong.
00:14:16
But yeah, there's no other way to look at this.
00:14:18
You're a commander's fan who I think was projected to win six games this year.
00:14:22
You were projected to win six games and you're in the NFC championship game.
00:14:27
At this point, you got to take a break.
00:14:29
I know you can get excited and you're going to be rooting hard and you want to win and
00:14:33
you're intense and you're going to convince yourself that you can win.
00:14:36
But after this game, if it goes wrong, you got to take a second and say, how's money, baby?
00:14:42
I will take a second, but I also know that everyone in the NFL is good.
00:14:47
The gap is much smaller than if it's like Maryland playing Florida.
00:14:51
You are sound as smart as you had to be disrespectful, okay?
00:14:54
But the gap is smaller with these teams and Vanderbilt versus anybody.
00:14:59
Vanderbilt versus, I mean, I think my freshman year when they played Tim Tivo, they put a
00:15:04
running clock on.
00:15:06
From the start?
00:15:07
No, no, no.
00:15:08
It was like 35, nothing in the second quarter, they run and clocked it.
00:15:11
Actually, you could fact check me on that.
00:15:13
That's how I remember my head.
00:15:15
You were probably a drunk college student asking the pictures.
00:15:18
That's right.
00:15:20
But no, I mean, like, yeah, there will be a moment of happiness being like this team completely
00:15:23
overachieved.
00:15:24
And I know that if you look at the roster, the Eagles have the most loaded roster in the
00:15:27
NFL and the commanders have Jaden Daniels and Tressway.
00:15:29
We win two positions.
00:15:30
That's it.
00:15:31
Tressway.
00:15:32
He's a dog.
00:15:33
Tressway is a dog.
00:15:34
So are you going to receive them when they return at the airport?
00:15:39
No.
00:15:40
Why not?
00:15:41
What type of fan are you?
00:15:42
The normal human being?
00:15:44
Oh, man, they used to be pretty good.
00:15:46
Get back into fans of the air and get into gates.
00:15:49
But then deep down we're thinking, like, who does this?
00:15:52
No, I was like, my world was so much smaller back then.
00:15:56
I was like, this is awesome.
00:15:57
I didn't even consider who they were.
00:15:58
I was like, of course, why is the rest of the city out here?
00:16:01
But at this point, like, you got to set your alarm.
00:16:03
But you were weak up because we, like, you were peeking out of the windows.
00:16:06
Some scouting.
00:16:07
Things at times.
00:16:08
Nah.
00:16:09
I'm pretty sure as nothing I was interested was out at three in the morning standing
00:16:13
on the gates in the cold of Denver.
00:16:16
No, sir.
00:16:17
No, sir.
00:16:18
Yeah, that's that's back.
00:16:19
Because you have to set it alarm clock because after the game, we get right on the plane.
00:16:24
So we never get home at a reasonable time.
00:16:26
Yeah.
00:16:27
Get home at a stupid hour.
00:16:28
And the people that are there cheering are nuts.
00:16:31
What's your favorite story from a from a flight home?
00:16:36
Nope.
00:16:37
Not telling that one.
00:16:38
Nice draft.
00:16:39
I'm idiot.
00:16:40
Do you think I am?
00:16:41
See?
00:16:42
It is.
00:16:43
That's a tease in the industry.
00:16:44
No, I am not telling that story.
00:16:45
You're the only one who knows that story.
00:16:46
I'll never tell that story to anyone else unless it comes out of someone else tells the story
00:16:51
because there are plenty of witnesses.
00:16:53
If someone else tells the story, by all means, it could be any team.
00:16:56
It could be any team.
00:16:57
It could be any person or any people.
00:16:58
It could be Randall's town.
00:16:59
It could be Maryland.
00:17:00
It could be West Check.
00:17:02
It could be.
00:17:03
Yep.
00:17:04
Because we used to fly everywhere.
00:17:06
We actually did.
00:17:07
Yeah, Pop Warner.
00:17:08
We went to the Super Bowl.
00:17:09
Yeah.
00:17:10
So we flew to Orlando.
00:17:11
It was tiny bites.
00:17:12
Yeah.
00:17:13
We didn't fly to Orlando, actually.
00:17:14
We took a train to Orlando.
00:17:16
And then Winston-Salon, tiny Vikings gave us a **** with him.
00:17:18
Yeah.
00:17:19
Did they have any dudes who played in the league?
00:17:21
I don't know.
00:17:22
Probably.
00:17:23
I don't know.
00:17:24
It wasn't.
00:17:25
We didn't like your strange names.
00:17:26
I don't remember.
00:17:27
They had dudes that were better at football than everyone on our team.
00:17:30
Yeah.
00:17:31
Your team had you.
00:17:32
I've got a love talking ball with me and hopefully she enjoys talking with us.
00:17:37
You think she's ready?
00:17:38
Yep.

00:19:27
Welcome, Minicombs.
00:19:29
The great Minicombs is joining us to tell us everything we need to know about this upcoming
00:19:34
game.
00:19:35
But before we go into it, we had a heated, I guess not heated, a spirited discussion.
00:19:39
Play us?
00:19:40
Yes, discussion about particular player islands that you are on.
00:19:46
And to explain it to you, if you don't understand it, I told the story of how I got stranded on
00:19:51
Deck Prescott Island because it started with me fighting Dan Arlovsky over Carson Wins
00:19:57
and then Dan and Carson just left the island and then I'm stuck as the deck guy.
00:20:02
So is there an island?
00:20:04
Oh, yeah.
00:20:05
I'm stuck on an empty Richard's an island.
00:20:07
It's an empty island, it's just empty island.
00:20:11
And you could be able to positive island.
00:20:12
Was there an island that, I guess you and I can claim Lamar Island because we were on Lamar
00:20:16
Island pretty soon.
00:20:18
Early on.
00:20:19
We were on that island.
00:20:20
Well, I hate to cite this one because it makes me sound like a homer, but it's not about
00:20:25
my fandom.
00:20:27
I feel like I'm on Geno Smith Island a lot of the time.
00:20:31
Because I'm constantly saying, I think the way you, I would say, a determinant of whether
00:20:39
or not you're on this island for a quarterback is if you're, you find yourself often saying
00:20:43
it's not his fault when things go wrong.
00:20:46
And I'm constantly doing that as Geno Smith.
00:20:48
I'm constantly blaming the CEOX offensive line or the design of the offense and whatnot.
00:20:53
And then when he does something that is his fault and you feel bad, that's when you know
00:20:57
you are on the island.
00:20:59
Yeah, you're like, yeah, that's a good one.
00:21:02
Geno Smith is a good island.
00:21:03
You're just watching football on the Sunday, refreshing the box goes.
00:21:06
It's like Nancy Richardson Island, he's four for 13 now.
00:21:09
Watch it.
00:21:10
No, watch it today.
00:21:11
He's over to God.
00:21:12
It's not his fault.
00:21:13
Yeah.
00:21:14
That's perfect.
00:21:15
You didn't hear I say it with earlier, but Charlie pointed out how early in the season,
00:21:18
I was using the tape to defend my Marvin Harrison and my Caleb Williams positions where
00:21:23
I was like, but you got to watch it.
00:21:25
But you got to watch it.
00:21:26
It's, you're not, you're not seeing it.
00:21:28
You don't understand.
00:21:29
Now, at this point in the season, I'm going to keep my property on the island.
00:21:32
Of course, you have to.
00:21:33
But the problem with both of those is when I bought the property, prices were sky high.
00:21:40
And now they've plummeted.
00:21:41
Now you're hoping Ben Johnson's great, a great developer for your island and Johnson, say
00:21:45
violent, baby.
00:21:47
Oh, man.
00:21:48
All right, Charlie.
00:21:49
You want to talk about games?
00:21:50
Yeah, we should talk about these actual games and it's, it breaks my little heart, which
00:21:54
is growing larger by the day, but we should start with chiefs bills because it's kind
00:21:58
of a thing.
00:21:59
They're the 13 second game teams.
00:22:01
Patrick Mahomes is in, I don't know, his 35th consecutive AFC championship.
00:22:06
They're going against a bills team who, with home field advantage, Vegas thinks on a neutral
00:22:12
field, this bills team is right there with the chiefs.
00:22:14
The chiefs are slightly favored in this game.
00:22:16
But I want to ask you, who do you want to see win this game?
00:22:19
That's a tough one because I think, I, who I think is going to win it, who I want to
00:22:25
win.
00:22:26
Obviously, don't have to be the same thing.
00:22:28
But I kind of want the bills to win that is a mainstream tape to be clear.
00:22:37
You and 90% of America appeared to feel that way.
00:22:40
Okay.
00:22:41
All right, cool, cool, cool.
00:22:42
I thought I was alone.
00:22:43
I thought I was alone.
00:22:44
Oh, yes.
00:22:45
And just because the story, right?
00:22:46
Kansas City chiefs.
00:22:47
You're all alone.
00:22:48
Do people hate the chiefs?
00:22:50
Yes.
00:22:51
Have you not been on the internet the last three months?
00:22:54
Yeah.
00:22:55
I guess not.
00:22:56
Yeah.
00:22:57
I'm sorry.
00:22:58
I suck it.
00:22:59
We can barely even respond to that.
00:23:00
Wait, Karen.
00:23:01
You're very online.
00:23:02
I don't know.
00:23:03
I don't know.
00:23:04
I feel, give you a perception of this.
00:23:05
Yeah.
00:23:06
They're, they're the hate watch team that a lot of people are really sick of.
00:23:09
There's obviously the fact that they used to be really fun and they continue to win.
00:23:13
But I, I don't think it's like, it's not a true everyone hates the chiefs thing until
00:23:18
last week.
00:23:19
Until the home started flopping.
00:23:20
Sorry.
00:23:21
I think that was a huge an idea for, uh, well, until it was on, it was, it was amplified.
00:23:26
Yeah.
00:23:27
Like on a solo stage and it was amplified and the game was definitely influenced by the
00:23:31
ref's participation.
00:23:32
I think until that, it was like, well, at least they're not the patriots.
00:23:36
You know what really struck me about last week's game is the ref stuff and the flop got people
00:23:44
so heated that when Patrick Mahomes made a throw, it's funny.
00:23:49
We did the, the meme used to be, well, Patrick Mahomes makes that throw.
00:23:53
It's on sports.
00:23:54
You know, it's a classic kind of bit.
00:23:56
But it's so like the reverse is so true now.
00:24:00
The touchdown he threw where he's falling forward and throws the ball to Tyler's Kelsey.
00:24:04
If literally any other quarterback makes that throw, it's like, we're just celebrating it.
00:24:09
And did you, like it felt like in the moment, people were like, wow.
00:24:12
And then just back to getting mad so quickly.
00:24:15
I will say it was much less celebrated than the two diving throws he had in the buck
00:24:19
Super Bowl that went out.
00:24:20
People's face masks.
00:24:21
Yeah.
00:24:22
Yeah.
00:24:23
That was great.
00:24:24
Those are more present.
00:24:25
I mean, maybe, maybe, not maybe, I'm sure that you both are right.
00:24:29
But I guess the reason why I was reluctant to say that is because what you're arguing or
00:24:35
what you're rooting for is the story.
00:24:37
Yeah.
00:24:38
And I think the 3p is something we've never seen before or legit.
00:24:41
It makes Patrick Mahomes a more legitimate contender to like have the opportunity to have
00:24:45
someone really, really significantly chase Brady.
00:24:49
But the problem is, for me, is like, this specific championship alone would mean a lot less to
00:24:57
me than if I like the idea of entering a new era of football that's not the Mahomes era.
00:25:04
It's the Mahomes, Alan, maybe somebody else error.
00:25:08
This is a thank you for taking my bad question and improving upon it to what storylines coming
00:25:13
out of this game where you do most want to see because that's what you're getting to
00:25:16
is.
00:25:17
Yeah.
00:25:18
So, I'm elevating Josh Alan to someone who is, and he's obviously not going to be on
00:25:22
Mahomes this tier of the accomplishments of the Super Bowls after one, but being someone
00:25:26
who's a legitimate threat every year to actually knock Mahomes out of the playoffs is more
00:25:30
interesting to you.
00:25:31
Yeah.
00:25:32
I mean, he's young and it does, like, I think, yeah, I'm repeating myself, but it does go
00:25:36
from everybody versus Mahomes, like a Jordan thing to speak a little tennis for you, but
00:25:43
like a more tennis, like the Dolphin or Federer situation and maybe Joker Viction happened
00:25:49
there at some point.
00:25:50
It's pretty hard to sustain the rivalry storyline if Mahomes is for no against the playoffs.
00:25:58
Which, by the way, is, you know, as I would say, extreme evidence of the fact that wins
00:26:05
or not a quarter of wins and losses are not a quarterback set, not to say that it's
00:26:09
Josh Alan and that Josh Alan is definitely going to play great on Sunday.
00:26:13
I'm just saying it's, it's, you know, it's a team sport, you guys don't know how to feel
00:26:16
about that.
00:26:17
But it's funny, like, what's interesting about that is you'd actually, on its face, on paper,
00:26:23
you'd think that that would mean there's quite a bit of pressure on Alan to not go on
00:26:27
for, but I don't feel like it's being positioned that way at all.
00:26:30
Do you guys agree?
00:26:31
Right.
00:26:32
Yeah.
00:26:33
I don't.
00:26:34
It does feel like Josh Alan has a bit of a house money game, but I guess to be honest
00:26:39
with you, it feels like immediately after the game, if Josh Alan loses and this is assuming
00:26:43
it's like a routine game.
00:26:45
It's not like a ridiculous where he threw from 400 and still lost or he had a terrible three
00:26:51
interception game.
00:26:52
Like obviously one of those games would impact the way that we talk about it, but it feels
00:26:57
like it's something that it's a lot like what happened with with Lamar last week is like,
00:27:01
yeah, it's something that's going to hang on your resume.
00:27:03
It's not going to be the storyline immediately following it.
00:27:06
Next year, we're going to be like, can you get past this man?
00:27:10
Yeah.
00:27:11
I think the part of it that is also interesting, or at least for me, since I have been brave
00:27:16
enough to step out and say that I like Josh Alan to win, trying to think what's for
00:27:23
it.
00:27:24
A three-piece to see.
00:27:25
I don't understand this like mythical sports fan who just loves like history and dominance.
00:27:29
I don't think these people exist.
00:27:30
It's like people who are like are rooting for like target and apple, like that's Dominique
00:27:38
Dominique.
00:27:39
I just want to see greatness.
00:27:40
I mean, I would like to see I want to know what's going to happen at the end of every movie.
00:27:45
Don't you?
00:27:46
To be clear.
00:27:47
That was a bad example.
00:27:48
I am.
00:27:49
I am.
00:27:50
You were mean to me.
00:27:51
You were mean to me.
00:27:52
I don't.
00:27:53
The wrestling doesn't bother me that much personally.
00:27:54
And I love watching Catch Up with Us.
00:27:55
I love watching this defense.
00:27:56
Just talking about the general poppuluses.
00:28:07
Right.
00:28:08
I think what and I can speak to that as someone who after their shoe bowl last year was really excited about a potential three-peat and maybe last year you could call me out for the same thing.
00:28:10
But it has been to Charlie's point is like it's been not fun like I I would love to see like when Jordan was doing it.
00:28:17
I was like it's cool I was not rooting against Michael Jordan I remember watching those games with my brother in Baltimore.
00:28:25
I was like yeah I want Jordan to win you think I'm root for Clyde Drexler like I'm on I don't I'm not I'm not here for that.
00:28:32
I want that to happen.
00:28:33
But I do think in this moment it's like I want to see I guess it feels like and maybe it's not true.
00:28:39
But it feels like they're nickel and diming their way to it and they're like trying to get all the corners and edges to win.
00:28:45
Which is different from the Patrick Mahomes that we all kind of fell in love with as a football player.
00:28:50
So it's harder for me that way.
00:28:52
I don't know I think also the the way that this would happen.
00:28:55
I guess I'll ask me now she probably knows better than me.
00:28:58
What is the script that would allow Josh Allen to I guess not complete an upset.
00:29:04
But to be careful using the word script talking about the cheese.
00:29:08
I mean pretty similar to what they did earlier in season when they beat the cheese.
00:29:13
I guess so that was going back and rewatching that game.
00:29:18
There's a few things that happened that were kind of surprising and interesting and that made me think the bills have a good chance of winning it again.
00:29:25
One of which was I talked about this a little bit on my show.
00:29:29
They kind of out chiefs the chiefs in that game in a way.
00:29:32
Starting with the fact that they just did not let Patrick Mahomes touch the football very often, which never happens.
00:29:39
But they were able to string together these like long excruciating drives and the weirdest part.
00:29:44
I mean, it wasn't even running the ball that much.
00:29:46
It was just a very efficient passing game behind the line of scrimmage.
00:29:51
I think the fact that the bills don't have a number one ride receiver actually helps them against Kansas City.
00:29:56
All right, we just saw Trent and Duffy take out at Nico Collins for a lot of that this game.
00:30:00
Chiefs don't get care.
00:30:02
I mean, the bill is part me who the number one receiver is on any given day.
00:30:05
And the last time these times played, these games played close care and Curtis Samuel were both awesome.
00:30:11
So I think that script offensively is pretty similar defensively is where I'm a little bit concerned
00:30:17
because I think that the chiefs are going to have more success this time than they did the last time.
00:30:21
There were a lot of things that happen.
00:30:24
Just kind of some pressures allowed.
00:30:26
Mahomes not scrambling.
00:30:29
No plays out of structure.
00:30:30
I don't see that happening again against Buffalo.
00:30:33
Yeah, both of these teams, at least the way that I viewed the Ravens games for the bills was probably I view it a little differently now upon like closer inspection.
00:30:42
But immediately after it was like, Oh, the bills just went out to play mistake free football and get to the end of the game and try to win.
00:30:51
Which I mean, that's ends up with what or that's how the game ended up.
00:30:55
But when you go back and watch it like it was Josh Allen making the decision to not take shots because they ran shot plays.
00:31:02
Just Josh Allen didn't throw it over through Hollins on one out enough and then there were a lot of other deep overs that they wanted to attack and Josh Allen just routinely made the decision to check it down, which is unusual like because he's such a good athlete.
00:31:15
Like you might want to run around or buy some time or his arm strength, you might want to force it in there.
00:31:20
I think that's a that was a good strategy and it worked last week and this might be sound absurd, but I kind of think it was a mistake to not find some opportunity to take some more aggressive chances.
00:31:31
Maybe those weren't the ones that they need to hit, but they needed to find some play.
00:31:35
It worked out last week so we can put that behind them, but they have to actually do that this week because in order for them to win last week, they needed three turnovers and a drop pass.
00:31:43
Like this game could have been put. Oh could have been ended like they could have put them away.
00:31:47
They had they won the turnover margin by three and only put the game by two points.
00:31:52
That's that's scary to me as a proposition going this week.
00:31:55
So not that they tried to play that conservative. Yeah, but I think you're right. Certainly shouldn't try to play it.
00:32:01
Yeah, no, I think it's a really good point, especially if the chiefs kind of have a little bit more success doing some of the things that the chiefs do on offense, right?
00:32:11
It's going to be a little bit harder for them than it was this last week minus the turnovers.
00:32:16
I think again, this the last time they played, he hit a couple of go balls to Amari Cooper, who's like not been part of the offense since then really.
00:32:26
It does feel like there's going to have to be a couple more explosives or out of structure.
00:32:32
I think with Alan though, you and I on our earlier this week talked about how he's like really changed and he's like willing to play this like mistake free careful brand of football and you're talking about him kind of passing up on a couple of things in a miss.
00:32:46
It's almost like you know that like genre of movie where it's like the retired spy living as a family man and then all of a sudden like somebody from his past comes back and his family watches and horror as he pulls out like a bunch of guns and starts going like who is this.
00:33:04
I think there will have to be that Josh Allen moment in this one where he's going to have to like go John Wick on them at some point.
00:33:11
But even the previous week I think about the throw out of structure to tie Johnson right that fourth down and it was interesting because it was fourth and two in Josh Allen suddenly like you know he's running around back there and I felt calm watching him even though he was about to do something crazy.
00:33:26
So I still felt that level of like confidence in his decision making even though he did mix in some of the out of structure playmaking.
00:33:33
Is there anything about the chiefs that is interesting because I feel like the biggest storyline about the chiefs to me or the thing that jumps out to my mind is like the protection issues and the Travis Calcy wakes up in the playoffs yeah and to your point trip McDuffie is a special player and you know at some point Chris Jones is going to be in a back for so I guess all those things are state back and it's this happens when you when there's a team that's always in this position you talk about him so much.
00:34:03
At some point you're like okay what else is there to say yeah I mean that's like the chiefs NBA factor it feels like they're like oh yeah they didn't have their foot on the gas the entire entire
00:34:12
regular season now they're different team in the playoffs I mean to your point about Christians being in the backfield they pressure Josh Allen more than any other team the season when they played in week 11 they pressure him night on a season 9 19 dropbacks he took zero sacks and average 8.3 yards for play on those patches.
00:34:28
Incredible. Yeah I think that's what interests me the most actually is that match up between C-Sagnolo and him and I find the chiefs defense to be like so we talk about like so fascinating because outside of Chris Jones they don't really have any like stud adressors they have Steve Spagnolo though who's like really good at timing and designing his pressures and he has to figure out a way to it doesn't have to be a sack because Josh Allen is very very hard to sack but he has to create more negative plays in completion.
00:34:58
You know then he did the last time these teams played and he got to figure out how to contain Josh Allen as a runner that was a real problem for them in the last game of course Josh Allen had that crazy touchdown throw which maybe like his big moment of the entire season to be honest.
00:35:11
Like he really has his work cut out for him in this one so I am that it to me is probably the most because I think I know what I'm going to see out of homes and Kelsey but the defense I think is the thing that I'm fascinated by.
00:35:23
Yeah I really hope for the bills sake that they're aggressive early because I don't that's when I start to lose confidence that I don't think that they're going to be able to win this game which I know they won in the regular season closing it out but they did have the lead in the end of the game I don't think that I guess I feel less confident about the chiefs shooting themselves in the foot at some point then the Ravens did last week and I don't know that I that the bills can you think they needed to they needed to possession lead late in this game for you.
00:35:53
To feel confident you know like if it's if it's so if the if they're down by the chiefs are down by through a three minutes left you feel very confident the chiefs will win if the bills are in that same situation you feel less confident yeah I think that's a good way to put it in it might also just be like this week I've been looking back at all the things that Patrick my homes is done in his very short career and that the chiefs have done and Patrick my homes seven years as a starter it was like.
00:36:19
It's amazing yeah and I know it's not the same team but it is still the same coach the same guy the same tight end and getting in those situations with that team it's hard to become.
00:36:31
Watching Travis Kelsey last week has like Jesus correct like yeah the longest player of his career or his player.
00:36:39
It's just like the combination of him homes and Chris Jones three those three players and the fact that him and Chris Jones
00:36:47
I thought was spectacular last week still have that ability to hit that gear my homes more so trying to hurt me obviously most of Chris Jones more so during the regular season in Travis Kelsey but like it's insane that those three guys those two guys because they're both getting up in the years I know Chris Jones is like 30 but still it's like oh my God they they both both Jones and Kelsey can just take over drive still and and I don't want to be like I'm not like I don't really care about the home's three p.m.
00:37:17
because I just I don't care about those kinds of things that much personally I still love watching and I still love watching and problem self defenses so it would still if you know if he puts together another run like that or finishes it I guess I would still be really interesting to see as much as I know we started off talking about how much America seems to be rooting for Josh on the bills huge swing from last week.
00:37:42

00:39:54
shopify dot com slash network let's talk commanders eagles and pivot to this
00:40:03
Jane Daniels has not made a negative play at this postseason the Eagles have a considerably better roster than the commanders they are six point favorites in this game
00:40:13
it's in filly everyone thinks the Eagles are going to win I'm going to start by asking you this Mina if
00:40:20
waiting manuals beats the Eagles will you reconsider wins as a quarterback stat
00:40:26
for a win when you're the worst thing I've ever heard in my life you should never say that I've said it five times on the show already I think it's my favorite
00:40:37
I love it wait in the manuals because they force it the reason why it's the worst is the reason why it's the best because it forces people to say what's
00:40:46
it sounds like it sounds like a baby yeah exactly don't avoid the question that was a this is a I look the fact that it turned into an immediate
00:41:01
insult bg might be re re-thinking this philosophy yeah I mean I jane Daniels are cubely it's you know I didn't vote for
00:41:14
MVP or whatever but if you like look at MVP and it's like most purest distillation of like who is the guy who is like
00:41:20
obviously carrying the team I think he had a pretty good case for him and I guess dance your question it's hard for me to
00:41:27
imagine a world in which commanders pull off the upset where he is not incredible right like where we're not talking about
00:41:32
Jane Daniels the next day it's very easy for me to imagine the opposite Philadelphia I could imagine that he goes winning this game without
00:41:39
hurts doing very much I cannot imagine the reverse for Washington and the thing I think about Daniels that's really worth
00:41:47
emphasizing here and we Charlie we did this Dominic dark Charlie and I did this video where I kind of power ranked all
00:41:53
the playoff team or the the remaining teams by like their strength of unit and the Eagles were just like the best in
00:42:00
everything but like I mean just outside of the quarter because like they're just so good and so stacked and that
00:42:06
defense to me like if Daniels were to win again that would be it would take a very impressive offensive
00:42:12
performance because not only is this defense very good going back and watching when the commanders won a
00:42:18
week 16 obviously Jalen Hertz was hurt in that game the Eagles defense made so many uncharacteristic errors Dominic like
00:42:25
coverage bus 12 men on the field C.J. Garner Johnson kicking out of the game I just it's they blitz Daniels a lot
00:42:34
oddly I just think it's gonna be tough for sliding this time around and big fan just gonna have a really good game
00:42:40
plan for him if you have if you could pick one position where you would like to advantage the quarterback is the
00:42:47
position and to defend Charlie's commanders a little bit I too think it's going to be tough sledding but if I were to
00:42:55
and it's I would rather the commanders win if we're going to do that same question I'd rather the
00:43:00
commanders win than the Eagles I think that's if we're talking about stories like that's be the coolest
00:43:05
and not just like a rookie right in the team like so many of these quarterbacks in a rookie deal it's a
00:43:14
rookie who is caring his team like it'd be awesome we have to start talking about this league and
00:43:19
ranking these quarterbacks very differently if he's able to win the Super Bowl so like I would enjoy that
00:43:24
story if we're picking stories out of all the remaining teams and I am in DC so it makes me a little
00:43:28
bias I guess because it'd be cool to be in this city but that is what I would root for which is why I'm
00:43:35
helping them with their game yeah yeah don't play defense don't play defense between between the 20s
00:43:42
don't play defense between the 20s like don't try to stop the run because if you load the box
00:43:47
sake was going to take one to the career bonus for 40 just go ahead and play cover two and tackle him
00:43:52
for five yards tackle him for five yards and then get into red zone and play defense like I think
00:43:57
that's their only way of winning is like hope you keep making them hand it to sake one and hope one of
00:44:01
these times you can strip the ball or you jump the routes and hope that you can pick one of these passes
00:44:07
that Jalen hurts and honestly I think like playing cover two enforcing them the run the ball potentially
00:44:12
could piss off their receivers and frustrate Jalen hurts because we won't give or you won't get
00:44:16
my easy throw and I do think that they should go into this game as stupid as it sounds but have the
00:44:23
mindset in there because you don't want to get discouraged as a defense but have the mindset
00:44:26
that we're going to win this game in the red zone if they make plays between the 20s then we're going to
00:44:32
be like dang it but we'll be fine because we're going to get him in the red zone because I think that's
00:44:37
their only way of neutralizing the advantage there is if they can score touchdowns and we're going to go
00:44:45
forward on every fourth down but if they can score touchdowns and hold them to to field goals and maybe
00:44:51
get a turnover I think it's more likely that they can win so Delphi Eagles only 21st in red zone
00:44:58
percentage by the way on the season oh numbers what do I think yeah if they if Washington scores first
00:45:07
you're just no I think no I think that we'll know very quickly if Washington can compete in this
00:45:11
game oh yeah like it was I can't wait who's 14 or 17 nothing when Jalen hurts got hurt in
00:45:17
16 when the Eagles played the commanders but they look like two different calibers of teams lots
00:45:21
change since then but no if the commanders come out and score and get a stop and it's like you're on
00:45:27
the Eagles you're actually making Jalen hurts throw the ball and do something that's not comfortable
00:45:30
for their offense sure why not us like that's like there's a you're if you're asking me to give
00:45:35
a logical defense no no this is better I wasn't asking you a logical defense I was I guess I was
00:45:41
asking you to okay my yeah no I I love your game plan for this it's like for some to field goals
00:45:46
and have Jalen do some crazy yeah it's sort of the most concerning part about this I think is one
00:45:52
is something that meena nodded to is um fangio's ability to prepare for this game and I know that
00:46:00
Jalen Daniels is going to they're gonna do a lot of no huddle but it's not a surprise at this point
00:46:04
and what the part of the reason why Jalen Daniels has been so impressive is because it's not
00:46:11
scheme dependent and as part of the reason why it makes me nervous also is like they know what you're
00:46:18
gonna do yeah know how you're gonna try to attack them and you're gonna have to do something else
00:46:22
I don't know what it is now or it could be Jane's athleticism it could be some um oh that makes you
00:46:28
nervous for the commanders yeah it makes me nervous I mean the Eagles defense is really handling them
00:46:33
until the you hurts went out and things kind of got hairy and they weren't able to sustain any
00:46:38
drives yeah yeah um and I think the Eagles defense is built by the way in a way that is
00:46:42
uniquely challenging for Washington because they don't they don't play it's very often they really
00:46:47
did in the last game um they barely ever played single high which is most which Jalen Daniels is
00:46:53
where they've gotten their explosives on they're very good against the run they really held the
00:46:57
commanders in check on the ground did Daniels was able to rush for a lot though and I think their
00:47:02
DBs matched up well with them although Queenie Mitchell's little banged up we'll see how that
00:47:06
shakes out I am interested on the other side of the ball I think Dominic your suggestion is really
00:47:12
interesting about focusing more on stopping the pass than the run essentially um you know between
00:47:17
the numbers and not giving up explosives I think that I have I am not of the opinion that they
00:47:24
have to sell out to stop the run the way some folks are because that obviously does leave you
00:47:28
vulnerable to explosive runs too in the way you discussed I do think that your entire game plan
00:47:34
has to be oriented around the quarterback and you have to do you have to find a way to approximate
00:47:43
what we've seen the last two games which is making the quarterback hold on to the football because
00:47:48
he is unsure about pressure and it was interesting the Packers were able to get like a decent
00:47:55
amount of pressure on the inside which was odd to see the Rams also got a lot of pressure but they
00:48:00
also simulated a lot of pressure and you could see hurts really discombobulated by that if I'm Dan
00:48:05
Quinn I'm borrowing a lot from what I've seen those two defenses do against him because you know he
00:48:12
is not the only reason why the passing game has struggled but he is not playing his best football
00:48:17
right now on top of the injury and I think that the commanders can exploit that the challenge though
00:48:21
about some of those simulated pressures as you bring everybody up in order to show not everybody
00:48:27
but more people and then these are teams who have given up like the ramps and given up explosive so like
00:48:31
I would definitely take those chances sometimes but more than anything to your point I want him to hold
00:48:36
I want Jayden Daniels or Jaylen Hertz to hold on to the ball and I want them to hand it off
00:48:41
in us tackle well and not try to win the game one defense is you win the game I'm redundant at this
00:48:48
point which means I guess we should wrap it up unless you got anything else you want to talk about
00:48:52
are you are you picking an upset when you also again um no I'm not picking an upset oh yeah
00:48:58
Charlie is we are so much more nervous about that Lions game yeah really house money baby yeah
00:49:04
interesting this isn't the 2022 Eagles this Eagles defense is so much better than the Lions defensive
00:49:11
like this Eagle defense is better than the 2020 due defense I believe Dominic agree
00:49:18
past where she's good don't let and also by the way you got a backup guard on Washington
00:49:25
you know we can be looking at him. Jaylen Carter who literally got jump cut it around by Jayden Daniels
00:49:34
as he took it on that fourth down 26 yards and we did that made him he just shook him into the giggle
00:49:39
he just took a **** into the giggle. You don't remember the giggle. Jaylen Carter and some point in this game
00:49:46
he's going to send him to the upside down. No he's not. He better break down, chop your feet. Jaylen Carter
00:49:52
meaning in open field. It's still early me and you can get on you can get on waiting to
00:49:56
annals Island. We got we got a room on the island. We got a plot. We'll save your plot. I mean
00:50:01
there's no island right now everybody loves it. No no no no no no no no no I was here first.
00:50:09
