This is the Best of the Herd with Colin cowher on Fox Sports Radio.
Here we go. It is a Friday. We are live in Los Angeles, and it is the Herd. Wherever you may be and however you may be listening. Thanks for making us part of your day. I'm a blazing four in one hour. Jmax got his picks. Actually, I think it gets easier as you get to the playoffs because you have the best quarterbacks and you kind of know what you're going to get in the performances. So here we go on a Friday, Jamack, I want to start the show talking Phil's Ravens and then Rams Eagles, because the Eagles feel combustible but yet to keep winning. Let's start with Baltimore and Buffalo. It sounds good.
I thought you would start with your haircut. That's like he got a little.
Treatballa Bola's hygeen is essential for our show, especially during the football season. So let's start with this. It is Bill's Ravens, which has a chance to be the best football game of the last five six months. But it's also a game about Josh Allen and about Lamar Jackson, and it really is. And it may be unfair, but it's a quarterback dominated league, and so I think the game means more to Lamar Jackson. Josh Allen's actually been very good in the postseason. Infect his passer rating in the playoffs is one of the best ever. He just lost to Joe Burrow once and Mahomes three times. But Lamar Jackson often feels like a different player in the playoffs. It's like Derek Jeter in baseball. You got the same Jeter regular season or the World Series. That's Josh Allen Lamar. You look at the numbers, you don't He's closer to Barry Bonds, the Great Barry Bonds. First twenty eight playoff games, he had one home run. Where did the power go? Lamar looks tight, he looks anxious, he admits it, and you're left scratching your head. And that's why I believe this game means a lot more for Lamar Jackson. If he plays well and loses, that's okay, because we all get how good Josh Allen is, and we all get how good Buffalo is. I mean, he he loses in overtime and puts up three hundred total yards, we're fine. But if Lamar delivers another clunker, and he's had a few as a playoff quarterback, not all, but if he delivers a clunker, it's going to start to define him and how he plays matters. Peyton Manning, for the longest time, was known as the second best Manning in the playoffs. It was Eli quirky, Eli that was cool under pressure, could win on the road whether it didn't matter, and it wasn't until Brady. If you go back to I was looking this morning, Manning was three and six. He started the playoffs three and six, that was his playoff record, and he was zero to two against Brady and he was awful in the games against Brady. It was Eli that was cool under pressure. So that Denver stay for Peyton Manning really really helped his legacy and now we consider him, Oh, Peyton Manning was great all the time, Like Lamar, he'd had some decent early playoff games, but until he won that first Super Bowl, we were looking around going, oh, he gets a little tight. He's a teeth clencher. And that's how we feel about Lamar. What Lamar doesn't want to be and I don't think he is at all. But you don't want to be James Harden where everybody kind of rolls their eyes. You're great in the games that don't count, but you're shrinking the big ones. So I think the pressure is absolutely on Lamar Jackson. Now here is the good news. You have to dig a little bit deeper on Lamar Jackson. And this is why a lot of the odds makers think Baltimore should be the favorite. Is Lamar's first four playoff games, it was like early Peyton Manning isn't very good passer rating at sixty eight, but he has gotten better in his last three playoff games. So Sean McDermott this week talked about the battle not only Bill's Ravens, but about Josh against Lamar.
I see the comparison or the parallels they've probably in there, though in terms of the uniqueness of both players, right and not sure changing either of them.
I mean they're.
They're the best. They're the top shelf in the NFL, those two.
And it should also be noted whereas Joe Burrow, some would argue, is equally talented, his franchise had to sell off naming rights for the stadium for them to be able to afford Joe Burrow's contract. You can't take the Bengals seriously because of upstairs. The Ravens are well run, the Bills are well run. So both franchises have gotten these remarkable all time unique talent, really really good players. Now I think Buffalo's got more good players than Baltimore. So I like the Bills at home this week. But what's really great about this game, It's not just great quarterbacks. It's great organizations, much like Mahomes in Kansas City. And I think we have a chance to see the best football game in the last six months. So I want to talk now about the Philadelphia Eagles, who I think will beat and host the Rams.
So I just tried.
They're a jigsaw puzzle to me, I can't. I know the Eagles are well run, but it is fascinating. I saw another story this morning and it said Jalen Hurts and Nick Sirianna's Sirianni's relationship is finally in a better place as they get ready for the playoff run here and I thought to myself, I'd hope. So they won twelve of the last thirteen games. They're forty eight and fourteen all time together. How can they not get along? It would be like one of those Hollywood divorces. You're like, the people are both beautiful, their kids are beautiful, they're rich, they're pampered that live in Beverly Hills. Can't you guys get along? A lot of couples with much less are doing much better. And what's interesting about it is, you know the stories not coming from Jalen Hurts. All these stories about their relationship, right because Jalen Hurts went to the Nick Saban School in Alabama of never Say Anything, and he's also a very mature adult, quiet reserve kid. So the leaks must be coming from Siriani. I don't think they are. Why because Nick Sirianni looks bad in this the hell can you not get along with him? Everybody likes Jalen Hurts. Where are the stories coming from? So I think it's fascinating. And that's the first part. Who's leaking it. The second part is that I keep thinking about this is if you're struggling to get along now and you're winning f five of six games, you're together, what happens when you start losing? I mean, and this is what's interesting. Last year, Remember down the stretch they were awful. If you take that stretch last year when they were awful, lost six to seven games, they're forty eight and fourteen together. If you have the playoffs, that's that forty eight and fourteen record. I'm taking out that bad stretch, so it's almost all been rainbows, harmony, pots of gold. But maybe it was that little stumble last year, that little stumble at the end that six ' seven. Take that out, they're forty eight and fourteen that caused all this, that they're really not built for each other. Or maybe it's this, and I was thinking about that. Every time I see a story on this, I think about this. There are families, and I've known people like this. They're always arguing, and yet they last forever, and they're incredibly close. You see this all the time. Sirianni is young, and he's emotional and isn't Philadelphia one of our more emotional cities. Sirianni is combative, so is Philadelphia. Nick Sirianni always looks tired and ornery. Philadelphia is kind of tired and ornery. Doug Peterson was too chill for Philadelphia. Chip Kelly, you could argue, was too emotionally remote for Philadelphia. And there's an argument that Nick Ciriani is perhaps perfect combative, feisty, looks tired, and big Dom has his arms around all of it. We have all known a family like this. There's a comedian out there, mana Caasko, Sebastian Manikowsko. He jokes about his family. He's like we fought, We argued, Dad couldn't give you a compliment. At some point I wouldn't let him come to my shows. And the guy is one of the biggest rock stars in comedy in the United States today. And I thought about that comedian because I went to see him in Chicago about six seven weeks ago, and he was hysterical and a lot of it's about his family, and I'm like, this sounds like a brutal childhood. Yet they're incredible league close, and I'm like, maybe this is Sirianni, the Philly fans, Big Dom, Jalen Hurts, the loud sports talk radio. It's the family that screams and yells and argues even at Thanksgiving, even on vacation, and that they love each other. It wouldn't work for me, but it works for them. I like Philadelphia and Buffalo. Blazing five picks top of next hour. J Mac, you know it's same four teams in the final four in the AFC.
All.
We talk about this all the time week to week. The NFL is really difficult to predict, especially when you talk about betting lines. But on a macro level, it's very easy to figure out. You start looking around. It's it's Lamar, it's Josh, it's Hurts, it's Golf, it's Stafford, it's c J. Stroud.
Uh.
You know the only great quarterback who didn't make the playoffs Joe Burrow, who's all organization. Always feels like they're frugal and pinsion pennies and the little backwards. But I got blazing five today, You got your picks. I think we're going to be treated like college football. The longer the playoffs went, the better the games went. So I think we're going to be treated to that.
So you don't think we're getting three blowouts. I mean, how many blow off we get last week?
In like five?
No. I even think Commanders if they get the opening kick and score and get the Lions a little bit on their heels, then I think it's interesting. Now if Detroit wins, it takes it down seven to nothing and starts marching with confidence rested, and by they're getting defensive players back, that game I feel could get ugly. For what it's worth, that line just hit ten. Detroit is favored by ten. Yeah, that's the one I spread this week. Yeah, you know me and big spreads. I stayed away that in that in the Blazing five, I could see Detroit rolling them, but I could also see Commanders. Jayden Daniels is hard to figure out. They stay in games. The Commanders stay in games when they get out played, and it's almost a talent that you look up and you're like, Washington didn't have as good as players, they're getting out played. One of the only games I saw all year where I thought it was a stinker for them. I mean they really didn't show up was New Orleans and they still ended up remember that game they go down to New Orleans, they don't play very well at all, and they're the better team there, and they still figure out a way to win the game. They figured out ways to win games, the Bears game in which you think they're outplayed.
Yeah, hanging around, Just hang around and let Jayden Daniels take you to the Promised Land.
Yeah.
Be sure to catch live editions of The Herd weekdays and neon eastern nine am Pacific on Fox Sports Radio FS one and the iHeartRadio app.
All right, here we go, not that many games. I'm picking four fire away.
Let's blaze it up up. It's Collins Blazing five sponsored by Draftkicks, Texans and Chiefs.
Listen. I don't love eight and a half, but I'm gonna swallow it. I'm gonna lay it and take Kansas City. Two of their last three wins have come by ten plus points, undefeated at home, thirteen and four off up under Andy Reid. And they don't give the ball away anymore, seven straight games without a giveaway.
C J.
Stroud has never been the same quarterback on the road warm weather team in really cold weather. And I also think the Texans benefited from those interceptions against Justin Herbert, that's not gonna happen. They're missing there, two of their top three receivers. Joe Mixon's banged up, and if you look at C. J. Stroud on the road versus teams that made the playoffs in his career zero to five passer rating at seventy one. I think the Chiefs win by nine. I wish the number was better. Thirty two twenty one. Take Kansas City Rams at Eagles. It's my favorite bet of the weekend. I like Philadelphia Inclement weather is going to favor the better o line, the better run game. I mean, they held the number eight scoring offense Packers to ten points in the wild card win. They have the number one offensive line and the number two rushing offense, and they're gonna give it the Saquon Barkley, who's been on a heater seven of his last eight games plus one hundred yards the Rams, listen. They took advantage of a battle line and they've got a very good defensive line. They were at home. Now it's a short week. They allowed one hundred and twenty four big plays this year, so you can beat him downfield, and let's be honest. Matt Stafford in his career rain and snow games one in eight. He is not the same quarterback. Eagles win twenty eight to twenty pull away in the second half.
Ravens at Bill.
I like the Bills nine to zero at home. They lead the NFL with thirteen games of thirty plus points, and they don't give the ball away. They're like Kansas City. They're very clean. Fewest giveaways and fewest sacks allowed in the NFL season, which is wild for how a dynamic they are as an offense. Josh Allen's been a good playoff quarterback. Lamar Jackson three and four in his playoff career. He's missing Za Flowers, who may play but hasn't practice. I gotta be honest in a big playoff spot, Lamar's been a bit tant He's gotten better, but a bit tense, a little anxious. Josh Allen has been great. I just think I think Buffalo my guest today, I think Buffalo wins the Super Bowl. That's my take. I think this is the best version Josh Allen's had. I'm gonna take the points and take Buffalo twenty eight to twenty four. Ohio State versus Notre Day. I'm taking the under forty six and a half. I'm gonna stay away from the spread. These are unbelievable defenses. Okay, if you go look at Ohio State, they held Texas to fourteen points. They held nine straight up points. The twenty one points reviewer and the Irish are missing a couple offensive linemen. We don't think they'll play and their offense is okay. Notre Dame meanwhile lead the country with thirty three takeaways, unbelievably well coached on defense, excellent secondary. Opposing quarterbacks had twelve passing touchdowns and nineteen interceptions. They will Howard can lose his confidence. So Notre Dame in Ohio State. If you look at their defensive rankings this year, you're looking at Krem Dela Crem points allowed they were one and two, passing yards allowed one and two. I don't think Notre Dame has the offensive fire power to win, but I'm going to take the under forty six and a half points. DraftKings sports Book, America's top reddit sports book, two hundred bucks in bonus bets, instantly betting just five. The promo code is heard h E R D SO I still can't believe the Buffalo Bills are getting points at home. And I know the wise guys like Baltimore and I know you can run the football on the Bills. I get that. But I'm going to take a couple of big favorites to cover the Chiefs and Eagles. Take the under on Notre Dame Ohio State, and with that couple of championships, Shady McCoy, you see him on the facility, is now joining us. Susser, Well, that's how I see the world.
Let me ask some serious questions, all right. You know I'm knowing from time to time, Jada, you know, Okay, I want to know how well do you.
Normally do well? I had a very bad year because we talked about this. Favorites did very well this year, and I like underdogs. Well, you had a good year then, so, but it has the playoffs have started. Now I'm taking in college football, I'm taking favorites. So I want to ask you about the Rams and Eagles. I said this, you know Philadelphia. Well, so there's always a couple in your social circle or a family and you fight and you argue and you're like, these people don't like each other. And yet nobody gets divorced, stay together forever, and and you're like there always battling, They're always fighting. And I think to myself with Nick Seriani, he looks ornery, tired, he's feisty, But so is Philadelphia. Doug Peterson was too chill, and Chip Kelly was a little West Coast, you know, remote, And here's Nick, who'd get in a fist fight with you if I wasn't for Big Dom. And my takeaway is maybe I'm wrong, is that Nick Siriani is Philly. He acts like Philly, he's emotional like Philly. And the players and the fans feet off him.
They love Nick Sirianni, you know. And who loves the most are the players.
Every player I ask from from the role players to the superstars, right to the franchise guys, they love Nick Sirianni. He's that type of coach where you can relate to him, right, have an ishan locker room, you can talk to him, and he's fired up in the games, in practice, and you see it. One thing about Nick Sirianni is like he's the type of guy he wears his emotions on the sleeve.
Yes, And I think in Philadelphia is that type of place.
There's a lot of players, there's a lot of coaches that can't coach or play in Philadelphia. The media is too tough, the fans are too tough. Right, things get aggressive. It's a tough city and Nick Sirianni is perfect for it. And this is the reason why it's not an accident.
That this guy is a winner.
Every year he's been in Philadelphi, he's been to the playoffs, he's been took this team to the super Bowl. Right we look at Jalen Hurts, how far he's come from his rookie season right now, and a lot of credit goes Nick Soriana. You talk about getting the players in there, a lot has to do with Howie Roseman the GM, but also Knick Serianna and him working together getting them players. Find a guy like Jayalen Carter to be the most dominant guy on defense in football. So I can say a million great thing about Nick Sirianne. I would love if I was playing, I would love for him to be my coach.
You know, I think the Rams are a little like the Packers. I think they're another draft away. I think they need a corner on the left tackle. I think they need a speed receiver. I think they probably need another defensive tackle. They're a very young defense. Philadelphia gets in your head. I mean, were you ever on a team or when when you were an Eagle that you you faced a team and they were good, but they were young and Philly on Saturday or Sunday in a playf it's just too big for him.
Yeah, I can see that, like I guess as we're speaking in its existence, I can see how you come up with big win. Right, you beat the Vikings out and you had nine right, right, and everything is going on in La with the with the wildfires and accereality sacks. Everybody played well, and now everybody's like, yo, the Rams might be a team that can potentially beat the big time Hughes until you get to Philadelphia and that weather comes in to play with the snow and get them fans involved, and then you see that running game again.
See one thing about football players you don't.
Really like forget and as good as the the Rams team did against on who they play the Vikings. When you played Eus is different like we played it before. We are running back at two and fifty five yards rushing like that did happen. If you really watch that game, you see how the offensive line really controlled the line of scrimmage.
We could have had another forty yards rushing safe. He sat down, sat down.
So I just think that, like, you didn't forget that in this game, right?
Where in football you get paid a lot a lot of money to kick butt, Right, I want you to dominate this other guy on the other side of the field, and we do that best. Now, I think Jalen Hurts has better performance than he did against the Packers.
They are in trouble. They are in trouble.
I'm gonna ask you a question. This is a weird question. I can assure you you've never been asked this because as I watched Saquon Barkley, when you're a running back and you go through the hole and you know violence is coming, do you look for shades of colors? So I watched Saquon a couple of times against Green Bay, and he didn't look directly at the defenders. You never do, But it was as if he just sees from his peripheral vision a color. So when you were doing that, how do you see players coming through a gap but your head's here do you get sort of intuned and it becomes part of your style that you're just moving away from the colors on the team because I don't know how he makes so many damn people miss without seeing them.
Yeah, you know it's crazy.
I don't know, man, you might in your other life there running back because that's how we see it, right. The best running backs are the running backs that fill it right, and you see color. You never look at the person. If I look at the defender, he sees me. I see him then he could. So you see color, You see color, You feel and you see color. So as I'm running through the hole right, you don't look at it, but you see the guy coming. He's coming full with speed, and you jump cut to the right.
You know what I'm saying. If you watch sain Kwon Barkley, he always reacts to what the defense does.
The one play had against the Green Bay right, it was the first so they funneled the first kickoff right. The next run I think say Kuan got about twelve yards to the left. The play was to the right. He felt the color shift into the right. He makes his jump cut and spins to the left. That's what a running back does the best running back state. They feel and they see not players, they see color.
You know what.
It's a little like I'm so out of my element here, but I love you you on it.
I was shifty.
But it's almost like I've seen this before. If you get into a hip hop space in the studio and somebody's got the melody right and you're just kind of riffing, that's true. Yes, that's a little bit the running backs life that you're kind of like, give me the melody, give me the hole, and I'm going to kind of add lib and riff. And there's some basic things like basic lyrics I have in my head, but I'm gonna kind of add lib through the melody. And that's how I see a running.
Back totally right.
In so many different types of running backs. Like a guy like Derick Henry, he's.
Just different, right, he doesn't mind conned, he doesn't mind it, so he'll look at that God, okay, we'll bring it on.
But a guy like Saquon because he is big, but he is so explosive, and when you get a defender that you don't look at right and you don't make eyes.
You can keep full speed he full speed because he don't know that you see him.
As matter of fact, the first long running had against the Rams, right, he ran up the holes, a big hole runs through it, and as the safety's coming right, Saquon doesn't even look at him. Okay, he feels that color. He jumps cut to the right and it was a touchdown. Like that's a simple example of not really like looking at the defender, but feel him and knowing he's there.
It's like it's like you're selling something to somebody.
Right, you're making a defender believe that I don't see you, and I'm running straight. You think you're gonna hit me right as soon you get so close, then I jump cut because I felt that color.
And if you watch a lot of Saquon Barkley's runs, man, he just shows you like.
He doesn't look at defenders and yet pivots. He feels like he's setting everybody up. He's he's like a chess player. There's two plays, two moves ahead, and Saquon probably thinking right now, like coward. When I want to talk about running.
Backs, I go to he might call you. He might call you first before you call me.
Okay, Ravens Bills.
What's a good one?
Mabe Okay, here, here's the thing. They're they're both great. Let's get over it. And Lamar's gotten better in the last couple of playoffs. He's been a bit tight. And we've seen this with baseball players Barry Bonds, a rod where they're just they get golfers in the eighteenth get a little in your head.
People on TV talking about it every day, and as a player, you trying to block it out. You hear it everywhere you go, social media, grocery stores, you know the match up, you rumors their narrative. Can you win playoff games? Josh hears it. Lamar definitely hears it, so they hear them things.
When you ever got nervous, forget about playing better or worse? How did it affect your game? Was there a game where you were anxious? Did it affect your game? Were your tentative? I mean, because I do feel sometimes he's a bit tentative. Aaron Rodgers could do this. If he threw it pick in a big game, Ye, he'd get a little safe. Aaron would He wouldn't let it rep right. Sam Darnold against the Rams a couple of times after he got sacked.
You could tell yes, yeah, that's a different story. But I give what you're saying.
And I think every player, especially the superstars, they go through this because all the pressure is on you.
All right.
If the I don't know, if the slot cornerback has a bad game for the Ravens, We're not gonna come on TV and talk about it. We're gonna talk about the main guys. And I think sometimes with a lot of the superstar players, like the Josh Allen's and lamar As you're talking about the pastor Majhones and actually played with these these two guys, Josson and Pat. Sometimes the games they gotta calm down, right, you get anxious, you can't wait. You've been waiting on a week.
For this game.
It's the only game on TV.
Everybody's watching. Every neighborhood, every neighbor neighbor is watching this game. So you kind of get antsy, and then there's something you gotta relax. Okay, let's calm down.
Might take a serious or two.
So sometimes you had to like, oh, for sure, there's times in a game where I can't wait the ball out right, and maybe my first carry, you know, I'm stepping over my feet. I'm not really comfortable right, and then I get hit Okay, okay, Shadey McCoy convey, relax, and then I get back to this the basis and playing.
It's interesting. There's a there's a clip on the internet with Belichick telling Brady earlier in a Super Bowl. He's like, hey, settled down, calm down, step into the ball, the.
Simple thing, that's the basics. That's right, But you get so so anxious. Oh man, he's open is taking ease?
The same with running backs?
Yep.

Okay, now, I'm not going to talk Chiefs lines. They're heavy favorites. I'm gonna get you to two other things. Dian was about a five hundred coach in college. But I do think he has a connection to players that other coaches don't. Has he do Tell me why? I take it you think it would work and you would hire him?
I would.
I think especially players in the NFL, it's about a respect thing. There's a lot of players that may play for a coach because this is my job, right and I have to do this. I have to My job is run the ball blog, I do everything. But sometimes you have coaches that whatever he says, if I think it's right or wrong, I'm gonna do it.
It's not that type of respect for him. That's who Deon Sanders is.
That's the prime time players respect coach Prime.
Or what he stands for. Another guy, Andy Reid.
Andy Ree could tell everybody, hey, man, go out there and run through the wall, and ninety nine percent of the players are going to do that because they got that type of respect. Another thing is relating to the players. There's sometimes where certain coaches they really can't relate to these players.
Andy Reid could, right.
I think Belichick later in this year is that's why things kind of with South because he really can't relate to the it's either my way or the highway. Well, that's not always the case in people you work with or in football, and I think coach Prime brings the element to the players.
I can really relate them. I can tell him about anything.
And the next big thing is I think about with the Cowboys to have an issue with the ownership as far as can people work with Jerry Jones, right, Mike McCarthy really good coach. I think was more of Jerry says this, that's how we're gonna do it. Yeah, Jason Garrett another one. Right, we're going whatever he says we're gonna do.
But he j Max says that's not gonna work with Dion.
I think you know that's going to work with him when you have the interview with coach Prime. Right, first of all, the last thing when a championship, I was on your team, So you know how I get down. I think when you bring coach Prime in an office and interview, it's not gonna go just hey, whatever Jerry wants to do, what's were doing, because it's a sense of respect. Coach Prime has the or in respect that you're gonna give him because who he is. Right if I want to draft this player, but you might not want to, it's my team. You get what I'm saying. I think they can really work together. I think Jerry needs somebody that can hold him accountable. It's something he might send in interviews and media about some coaches where I don't think he's gonna say that about Dion because it's a sense of respect. And the last thing is Jerry likes money. He likes to be talking about He likes to make his money. You telling me the things that coach parm has done for Colorado, right and that town, that city, that team, the money they're making, all the attention they're getting. You bring up the Dallas Cowboys, and you can win because I'm not even talk about the winning part. Jackson State, he got there, they started winning Colorado they won one game before he got there. Now there's something to talk about their winning team. So you bring the winning aspect to the Cowboys, and then the financial part. Jerry loves all that. I think they have a really good matchup together. I just hope it happens.
Finally. Caleb Williams came out this week and without demanding it, he said it, and I thought it was smart. And they ask him what he wants and he goes, well, you know, leader of man, which what the hell's that means? But he said, you know, be nice to have an offensive coach. I could grow with What he was saying is give me an offensive coach like college. Did you think it mattered now you're a running back? But still did you feel it was different when you had an offensive coach, not a deep and out college, you had one stat you had a defensive coach. So as an offensive coach, does it feel different in the locker room, in the meeting room, film room, does it feel different?
It feels different, especially when you have an offense that's struggling. That you have an offense where you go to number one pick in, super talented guy like Killer Williams. You want to surround him with some office geniuses. I look at guys like Sean McVay, whatever people thought about Jared Goff, right when he's with the Rams before Sean McVay. You see the difference, you know what I'm saying. You see how he's changed for him.
Andy Reid.
Another guy is super super smart, Alex Smith. He's with the Niners, whatever you're the narrative was with him. He got to the Chiefs, they were winning, he still was productive. I think Keilly Williams is really really talented. I think he needs to be around an offensive line that can really help him out, make the game easier for him. You look over there with the Detroit Lions. Right now, Jared Goff is playing for phenomenal, But I think you need the talent which the Bears have.
Right, then you need to coaching.
If you watch some of the Lions games, a lot of that is talent, right, but a lot of that is like play calling, like wow, did you see that play?
And you see that over and over again with the Lions.
You bring that type of coordinator to the Bears and he's the head coach, everything's gonna be offense first, right. I think the Bears for some of the years, defen has been a good thing. But with Andy Reid, like I remember being with every with him is we're going to draft him and bretteach the gym. We're going to draft some offensive guys because that's what we are. You get what I'm saying from now, that's the approach. I think it'd be good for him to have a good coordinator as far as the head coach for him A right.
Love having your own show.
That's so comfortable, man, like this shows. It's like my therapy right here, therapeutic. I love who's that guy right there?
Though?
That? Well, that's you do You like snow games? You love snow games because it doesn't hurt when you fall.
No like pillows.
I do think that's gonna be the big the biggest difference from that game against the Rams, playing that type of element in the snow. We're used to that, we play out doors. It was cold as hell against the Packers.
What's the difference?
Ready, Jake, let's do it.
