Do we, did we watch this? Oh, this has gotta be the start of it. Yep. Right here. we'll get to we're, gonna speak about Tua a little more, but the, how we gotta talk about the Pro Bowl which I'm glad they're going back to more skills stuff and whatever they, I don't know why they hadn't got rid of that. I remember growing up and just watching the skills challenge, like that was fun. That's the fun part of the, that's the fun part. The games they. But speaking of the Pro Bowl to let all players in fan voting the quarterback was left off the Pro Bowl roster. So how do you feel about that? Just that quote, but also who should be playing in the Pro Bowl and how should it be voted on?
Cole Ingle:How, many quarterbacks meet the Pro Bowl three.
Stoy Hall:I th for each side, I think it's two. Let me, lemme look. I'm, sure he's an alternative, by the way. I didn't.
Cole Ingle:Google. Check that. I Here's the thing. Do you think Tua should be a pro bowler over Mahomes? Josh Allen or Justin Herbert? The fans did. Yeah. Uhhuh obviously, but I used to have a hard time like Yeah. Mahomes and Allen. Stats are probably down a little bit. It's three in Burrow. Interceptions are up a little bit. And Joe Burrow. Yeah, there's
Stoy Hall:three three.
Cole Ingle:No here's the thing though, with the Pole bowl, the Pro Bowl from the other side of things is when a guy like Tua has a year like he's had, because the Pro Bowl being what it is no, he won't be all pro or all Madden or whatever, but. He probably deserves a Pro Bowl spot in a year like this over let's say Josh Allen. Because when you look at, he's done something because of what he's done for his team. But don't know how you make the, an argument. Is he your
Stoy Hall:first
Cole Ingle:alternate to I if he's fit, I,
Stoy Hall:he's not to be. we'll get to his injury
Cole Ingle:stuff. But know, you look at Herbert's numbers and what he, and he just got his team into the playoffs for the first time. Let's be real
Stoy Hall:Mahomes Allen a burro. They're gonna be in the Super Bowl. Yeah. So there will be an alternate. One of them will probably just not want to go because well, they'll be in, actually it's skills now, so it's Right. A little different. So Yeah. But whoever is for it is the alternate's going right. And they'll get there a little pro bowl. But I, just thought it was interesting. Players fan. I, don't think fan voting is rel
Cole Ingle:relevant. Who then, is that the three? Yeah. Mahomes, Allen. Allen Burrow. So Herbert didn't make it. And I just don't,
Stoy Hall:do you agree with those three? Yeah. I
Cole Ingle:mean, you can't, I can't argue however you wanna disagree. I'm just asking. Take any of those guys off their team and plug'em into Miami. I'll take my chances. Yeah. And plug Herbert into Miami. I'll take my chances. Don't take my chances. Yeah. I feel like that's just San Diego East. Yeah. I don't think if you plug them
Stoy Hall:I agree. So I agree. Yeah. Gronk,
Cole Ingle:tweeting. I'm bored. Oh. Groks board wants to wear number 69 and get announced as eligible every play. Making the refs say his number. Try to go on a, run with the rain. Just Gronk being Gronk. Yeah. But yeah, he gets he'll. He'll be fun. He'll sit there. I feel like we'll heal from Gronk every. that Brady's still playing around playoff time. Yeah, absolutely. Absolutely. Just for
Stoy Hall:funsies. Donald's hurt a little bit. Is this the end of Aaron Donald? Does he retire? There's talks that he wanted to retire last year, came back. There's a lot of the rams are tired and old. Shutting him down and the rest of the season doesn't bother me because they're not in anything but.
Cole Ingle:Once they shut'em down, they had their best game of the year, hung 51, and their defense
Stoy Hall:looked great. Stop. Now
Cole Ingle:let's back up. They played the Broncos Get outta here. Oh, we're done with that conversation. Oh, the Russell, the
Stoy Hall:Russells next. I found that interesting.
Cole Ingle:Defense looked great. God, get outta here. That team couldn't score 14 points against,
Stoy Hall:I don't have the video on this Falcons defense, but this is one that, and this is just for my Falcons fans out there, by the way. And you probably didn't see it. And I tried to find a clip, but for some reason, scrub it wasn't scrubbed. I just didn't dig that hard. Ridder's rolling out okay. And he's going to throw the ball away and he throws it, but gets hit. So the ball comes out like a weird duck goes basically 90 degrees dense, doesn't get past the line of scrimmage. They, called roughing passer. Raving the passer sorry. Intentional grounding. Intentional granny. Intentional Cl, he got hit like a quarterback, throwing the ball away. He's gonna throw a spiral. Or somewhat of a weird duck. This was like a ball just throw. This was a duck. And they called that and so the ref then said that he didn't feel like there was physical contact that caused the issue. Oh and so obviously this guy then tweeted the, Portland part intention ground should not be called if the passer is outta the pocket, which he was is passing motion, which he was and is significantly affected by the physical contact. That causes the ball to land short of long scrimmage. Okay. But that's what the ref was arguing and that's what the ref was arguing. So at least he knew the rule. I was okay with his, right understanding of it. But if I could show you guys it, it was not,
Cole Ingle:this wasn't something that was up for argument. No.
Stoy Hall:No, no quarterback one rolling out and throwing the ball should ever. duck come out like that. Except for two in preseason. That's fair. That's what it looked like. But we're gonna keep on the Falcon strain. Okay. Cuz it's hilarious and sad at same type. Ritter threw for two 18, no picks by the way. Two 18 Yeah. Was the second highest mark of the season. Hey, he's played two games and has the second highest. This season 218. That's crazy. I wanted to look at this one cuz I know we talked about it, but I think we have in here the, and I had posted about one score games. So this one's from the ff Yeah. Vikings. And One score games are 11
Cole Ingle:to oh 11 and Oh unheard of in the nfl they've played
Stoy Hall:16 games. Yeah. 11 and Oh,
Cole Ingle:mind you, NFL historically, one, score games are basically a coin flip. Correct. So theoretically speaking like a good season, like eight and three would be phenomenal. If you could go that in one
Stoy Hall:score games, if we give them three more losses.
Cole Ingle:Yeah. And whole, we're talking
Stoy Hall:about whole different, Absolutely. And we'll, get to that. Yeah. But that's why it threw that one up there. little love for Drake though. The top five fcs, edge defensive grades for the pf f Fin Claypool with a 92.1 from the Drake University. Bulldogs. Bulldogs. Okay. Second place was 90.4. I'm just saying he's also a freshman.
Cole Ingle:Do you grading out at 92 in anything is unreal. So in
Stoy Hall:literally anything Yeah. Math tests, anything. Yeah, it's. Kudos. Yeah. Pretty good. This one's I just more along with what Digs does, so I just wanted to reiterate, jumped it that this happens.
Wk 17 News Feed:Yeah.
Cole Ingle:Try to take advantage of a young quarterback. At
Stoy Hall:least every time there's a young quarterback, we're not gonna watch it. Oh, there it goes. Oh, go. Yep. Yep.
Cole Ingle:Oh if that surprises you at this point from Diggs, then.
Wk 17 News Feed:This
Stoy Hall:what you posted. Glorious. So I'll let you do this thing.
Cole Ingle:So this is Cowboys Eagles, Devonte Smith. I believe this was after his second touchdown, or maybe this was the first one. But we got he starts by, putting on the ski mask. Yep. Here we, you're gonna see your ski mask, mask on kicks open the door. And now we're stealing children's presence with the help. of fellow receiver out of the Salvation Army, bucket of which is very popular and known for Dallas Cowboys touchdown celebrations over the last two years. Zeke specifically, but also the tight end group and then Dak helped out a little bit as well. don't know if this'll be a fine or not, because they technically didn't touch the prop. And and they didn't use a football they, didn't do anything. If there was nothing here other than him just doing that, they wouldn't be fined. So I don't know if, because they robbed Salvation Army, that will get a fine out of just, hey, it was bad,
Stoy Hall:taste. It was glorious. I, enjoyed that. It was
Cole Ingle:smart. The creativity is there. Yeah. But I just I feel like we just didn't read the room.
Stoy Hall:No yeah, absolutely didn't read the room, but I enjoyed it. But like I enjoyed it
Cole Ingle:to, yeah, I don't know. Probably because it was Dallas, I didn't like it as much as I maybe should have. But yeah, I it was good. I'm going for distasteful.
Stoy Hall:So distasteful, quarterbacks. There's a whole room right there. Mac Jones being dirty.
Cole Ingle:The Grayson Allen of the nfl.
Stoy Hall:This plays illegal and did not get called.
Cole Ingle:Yeah. He lays down in front of, he takes guy. He's not really doing any, I don't know why. Just go, what would you do? Why, what, why is 20 still running? Just go celebrate. But then wise Smack Jones so he gave I didn't read it because what you block, what do you, what's I don't care what he's gonna say. He gave a, he gave an explanation. When asked about it
Stoy Hall:he thought that guy was gonna go,
Cole Ingle:no, I don't know. I don't know what it was like if he was just like, to a point where he was just falling over, but no
Stoy Hall:to me, that's dirty. I don't like it. No, I, he could've stuck his knee and his helmet went and custom. I like,
Cole Ingle:he's kicked guys in the balls this year with his slides. He's had some,
Stoy Hall:there's nothing here from a football perspective that he needs to do. He's not catching him. So
Cole Ingle:just give up, just stop. And not to mention, like by throwing yourself on the ground. you can hurt yourself. You are, and like you're trying not to get, he's also trying not to get hit. Yeah. But, so just, in general like my, so don't get hit. Should be, don't get hit. So like right here. Turn, you mean the go back to the sideline?
Stoy Hall:You mean like the rest of these, like these guys, like they're, not in involved. Yeah. I just
Cole Ingle:Instead Mac Jones, it's also Patriots lays down at somebody's knees. So
Stoy Hall:this is just more to the Gronk part? Yeah,
Cole Ingle:just what we talked about there. I should love that.
Stoy Hall:Oh, Gronk, This was a good one by you. This was a good one. When your wife says there's still one more 65 step instruction toy to put
Cole Ingle:together. Yeah. The old some choice words. Yes. Choice one, no one
Stoy Hall:specifically. Yep. Yep. Specifically, what is this
Cole Ingle:Christmas spirit?
Stoy Hall:Ooh, A little Brock. Love, huh? And my Facebook is blown up with him. Ton of, I'm actually ton of it out there, getting sick of it.
Cole Ingle:This is, but he's been so damn good. You can't even deny it. list of every QB since 1950 to throw for multiple touchdowns with a 100 plus passer rating in each of his first three career starts. Dan Marino. Brock Purdy. That's that's pretty good company. That's pretty rare air. Yeah. And then there's a picture circulating out there at a three months or less age. Brock Purdy's dad is holding him up to look at a picture of Dan Marino. That's pretty, and the picture is the internet to find that go back and tell your kid that at this. You will hold a record with only Dan Marino. Yeah. Not that you're holding a record that Dan Marino has, but simply that you are the only two who have the record done it. Yeah. It's yeah, just one of those things.
Stoy Hall:This one just goes to just talk about how tough Kurt Cousins is. This stat is when, I, when you sent it, and I read it like twice, I just couldn't believe this, but Kirk Cousins has been hit 125 times this year through 15 games. not once in any season since 2000, which is as far back as whatever this person, stat, whatever took, yeah. Care of this. Has a quarterback been hit more through 15 games? This guy's an absolute warrior. Yeah. That's a lot of
Cole Ingle:hits. No. Yeah. This goes back to lot of hits comparable to like when David Carr came out as the Texans quarterback and got sacked like 50 times in the season or whatever the heck it was. Peyton Manning, like in his rookie season, like we're talking about epically bad offensive line protection from a, letting the defenses hit your quarterback for a team that's still in the running for the one seat in the nfc.
Stoy Hall:So the whole fraud thing. Yeah. This is another stat to go towards that.
Cole Ingle:It is, but if you've got a quarterback who's willing to stand in there and you've been that successful in one score, to me, that actually tips the scales towards like he's the only thing that might not be fraudulent. Correct.
Stoy Hall:I, agree. But regression to the
Cole Ingle:team, the team that leads into the team fraudulent. I believe that cousins probably hasn't got enough credit for what he's done for this team this year. That's fair. Because guys really like to poop on that dude. They do. And he makes it easy. Don't get me wrong. They do. But
Stoy Hall:yeah. Okay. We get into, now we get in, we get into Tua. Okay. I was basically texting you about their last four drives, which went like field goal or fumble field goal. Pick, So
Cole Ingle:this is in the second
Stoy Hall:quarter though? Yep. This is before that situation, which come to find out. Just watch. and just, let's just watch his head Boyk. Don't worry. We could have zoomed in, which they don't show the after, which sucks, but
Cole Ingle:like to me, it didn't even really look like he was headed at the
Stoy Hall:ground there. It didn't, however, statistically, and I don't know if they have it in this tweet but from this, he went like three picks in completion. Percentage of 25.
Cole Ingle:but you also didn't have like necessarily anything very visible, real time. Like he got up right away, didn't waiver off the field, didn't lay there
Stoy Hall:my thing is the fact though that he, his other injuries this
Cole Ingle:season, no, I don't disagree, but at that point then they need to have a required spotter on Tua. And anytime you. Any apparent whiplash, go check him out. He just needs to go in, go check him out. What does it hurt? So let's say here's, the issue that I would present as from a fan and team perspective is. Let's say he throws that pass and that running back runs for a touchdown. Or runs for a first down, even more so than a touchdown. The touchdown wouldn't really be as relevant, but because they have time, because because he wouldn't have to still be on the field. So you're now forcibly removing a player from the field when you didn't have visual
Stoy Hall:evidence. This is first down, so this is the a, this scenario.
Cole Ingle:So should he have come out on second? Mid drive, you're up 20 to 10. Let's call it, let's say this is fourth quarter, two minute drive. First down, this play happens on first down, and you're gonna just pull'em because you think you might. Now we've definitely argued the safety side of things. That's where it becomes so difficult though, is because this play doesn't look to me like he hits his head on the ground. But we've seen other really obvious situations get completely overlooked. So this one didn't surprise me from that perspective. Now this is being pointed out as where they think he might have gotten and the stats are pointing towards this being, and he's in concussion Pro call also. We're two minutes from halftime. If Tua is feeling that, knowing his past history, man, you got to, some of the onus is on him, correct? Because. Nothing happened between now and halftime between not to say that it couldn't have but it didn't. And so if that is the case and this is what happened, then I've gotta put some, blame back on the player himself, knowing his own situation. And I know that's hard, but if he had a headache, if his neck wasn't feeling right, if it, whatever it was, knowing what you've gone through this year, you have to be able. He said, listen, check me out. If I'm good. But because I don't, I just don't think that play was obvious enough. And he didn't lay, like I said, he didn't play on the field or lay on the field. He didn't shake anything off. He didn't stumble getting up like it was boom, back in the huddle. Everything was normal
Stoy Hall:to me. It's not go check him out immediately. That's one of those ones, like again, situationally, it's two minutes till halftime. Halftime. Hey, That looked a little different. Why don't we just, why don't, just, let's take, test this out real quick. It's half time. Yeah. This is clearly time to do that. Let's just figure it out real quick and see if you're all right. Clearly he was not statistically and clearly now he's in concussion protocol right now. Is that because of this? I don't I, don't know. But he's now currently in concussion protocol right now. Let's assume. Terrible thing to do that he is now concussed. Gotta be done for the year. Done for the year. At a minimum, right?
Cole Ingle:At the minimum, absolutely. You have
Stoy Hall:to be because that'd be his third, fourth, technical third who got who really knows, but at least his third. Yeah. You gotta shut him down. Yeah. And
Cole Ingle:Here's the thing is whether or not we want to agree or disagree on what we're seeing, the person who tweeted this saw this, recorded it and said, Hey, the, so if a fan or a person, I don't know who this Michael Williams is. in general. But yeah, if they're seeing it, then that means whoever's at the NFL level reviewing, whether it be the medical staff, the team, whoever's in charge of that, should also be seeing that. And that's, gone back to our points over to his previous injuries and other concussion injuries where players aren't getting blown dead. Is that in a league that makes as much money as they do to not. they have an all 22 view to not have those plays whistle dead and those people removed from the field. That's the criminality in it all is that viewers at home are seeing this stuff. So therefore, like this is not something that's like off to the sideline. You couldn't see it on camera type of thing. People at home are seeing all of these things. So that's the issue and that's what has to be fixed, is there has to be more accountability from the. In whatever premise that is on making sure that, hey, we just had, and I don't care if it shoot, if you gotta have 22 dudes that are assigned to like to each player on the field, every player on the field you have you, if did your guy get hit in the head in a way that he needs to be checked out or possibly checked? and fine for every game. You have the money, you have the resources. Yeah. The safety. Now again, 22 is excessive, don't get me wrong, but even a guy on each side of the ball. And right now they don't even seem to have that. So
Stoy Hall:I don't even know if they have one AGA at a game. B bummer over here for the Bengals. Connelly's Torres, his ACL and his M C L after tough initial tests say acl. So again, on field exams don't mean much. Nope. But that's tough. Yeah.
Cole Ingle:Especially for
Stoy Hall:that's been tough for the,
Cole Ingle:that's gonna be tough for the banks. Bengals struggled up front, start the year and had really started to come together. Hottest team in the league right now, or one of the hottest teams in the league. So to get through the afc, losing your right tackle, a little more replaceable than your left tackle, don't get me wrong, but definitely an uphill battle, especially from that
Stoy Hall:positional perspective, especially going into Monday night football against the bills. Yep. That's gonna weigh a little bit for this game specifically. Yeah. Gotta love our Broncos every. Bronco's getting into it. Just you're starting a line against your backup quarterback. I really wish there was a mic and I hope there was Comes out. There is, oh, there is. Yeah. No,
Cole Ingle:really on what was said. Yeah. Yeah. Oh,
Stoy Hall:I'm gonna walk you through. Yeah, absolutely. So
Cole Ingle:Here I'll, I'll start the beginning. Back to the beginning. So this is Jeff DRIs. The backup quarterback for the dimmer Broncos. Now it's, it is Ripan, or sorry, Jeff
Stoy Hall:Ripen. Yeah, I don't know. Freaking whatever. Doesn't matter.
Cole Ingle:Backup quarterback, back quarterback for the Broncos. Excuse me. Rip telling the offensive line to help Russ off the ground when he gets hit. and the offensive lineman basically being over Russ's play for the year. I think soon after this Ripon actually goes in the game. Don't know if they did a couple Olay blocks or there, but basically after that dude pushes him, tells, says, GE come at me, Jeff basically is what he says. Yeah. And then you see him fall down and as the backup quarterback. I don't mind the leadership perspective of that, but your quarterback is a captain, is a 15 plus year NFL veteran at this point, somewhere in there, probably 12 to 15. However long the rest has been in the league. If his linemen are not picking him up at this point, that's on him. Yeah, that's on him. And while I like, again, I appreciate the dude, his leadership in being willing to speak up to that. Know your spot.
Stoy Hall:Read the room bud. Read the room. Read
Cole Ingle:the room a hundred percent. Read the room. So that's what that was all about. I didn't know that Nathaniel Hackett obviously got fired after this game as well because of things just like this. This
Stoy Hall:is why, yeah I, two games remaining in your rookie season that has coach. Yeah. You
Cole Ingle:can't have this going on in your sideway. This is what's going on along with everything else we lost the locker means that you've, your team quit. You just gave up 51 to a Rams to Rams team. Couldn't score, scored 15 three games. Yeah. Combined. So yeah. That's, what that whole, that's awesome. Dispute was
Stoy Hall:though. So the off season for the Broncos will be
Cole Ingle:interesting. Yeah. gonna be a lot of changes there.
Stoy Hall:Because the dude is Russ isn't good at football. Yeah. No. So this one you sent.
Cole Ingle:This is there's a, theme along around the N F L in general. There's been a ton of close games this year. We know how competitive the N F L has been and continues to be from a playoffs r playoff race perspective, A one score game perspective. This is, the Giants happen to be the but of this terrible stat. The scores in these games are two tied ball games and one in which the giants were. These are field goals of 61 to 63 yards. Here's
Stoy Hall:61, 63 and
Cole Ingle:61 61. As time expires, I don't know what the percentages on the year are for field goals over 60 yards. You don't get a ton of opportunities to'em. Definitely not three for three. Team teams are 100% against the Giants in game winning field goals of plus 60 plus yards this year against the Giants that would be indoors and I believe two outdoor kicks. Yes. Being in Philadelphia and in Carolina. So tough. Just tough, like how the hell do you not block them? By the way, shows you the Vikings are 11 and oh again, they are one of these teams that is gonna kick one of the 60 yarders in order to win the. And again, are you guaranteed to win two outta three of those? No. Because you would just be going to overtime. However, the fact that all three of these kicks were made, now you're three and oh in games decided by a 60 yard field goal. Here's,
Stoy Hall:here's my issue. They didn't learn. Okay. I don't know the order of which these were played. Yeah. But what they didn't do is they didn't learn. I'm going to, and I can't tell, I don't know if they had a returner back here or not, but they're in return mode on all of.
Cole Ingle:The, they lost this game was this week. Okay. Yeah. Against,
Stoy Hall:so they're in return mode. And what I mean by that is, look how many guys are upstanding, right? Because they think it's gonna be short so they can return it for, that's fine. A house school, that's fine. But you didn't learn go block 61 yard field goals have to have a lower trajectory. I'd rather go block the damn thing, especially if it's happened to me twice
Cole Ingle:already. I don't disagree. But here's, my other side. The fact that they're in return mode says that the chance of that kick being short versus going in, is it at worst, 50 50 or you wouldn't be in return mode maybe unless they idiots. Also, if you run into and or rough the kicker, it's now a much more makeable field goal in the chance that you thought he would miss being a 50 50. Proposition as a 60 yard field goal. I don't
Stoy Hall:wanna lose on a 60 yard field goal. I'm going to go block that thing.
Cole Ingle:Okay. That's just go block. I I don't, I can't disagree with it. I'm just saying as a 60 yard field goal? No,
Stoy Hall:just, no, just You can still have a guy, by the way. You can still have a guy back there go block it and still have a return on those are big fat guys out there. It's not, and kickers and holders. kickers and holders there's not very many. The tight ends are the most athletic people on that field. For the offense. No, I get it. I could not imagine losing three that way. Yeah. But I, get your argument. It really makes sense. Yeah. Really makes sense. Where's, Nope, lemme just talk about it a little bit. Packet gets canned to a concussion. Matt, we talk about that one. Ooh, I did. I just like this one. So
Cole Ingle:Can you turn the sound on for.
Stoy Hall:I'm sure I can. I'm
Cole Ingle:sure we'll get in trouble. There's there's nobody talking. If you want to feel and hear a hit, this is it more here in this first half. Here's another one. Watch out.
Stoy Hall:Put more here in this first
Cole Ingle:half. Thank you. Here's another watch out. Woo. More here. In this first half, here's one of the loudest hits I've heard in a long time, which while watching a game.
Stoy Hall:So he gets
Cole Ingle:ejected. Tosses himself and the offensive player in the name of player safety. everything that was done was correct. I don't think that it was a dirty hit though. No, but when they when you saw he, he leads with the crown. And by that he doesn't know where the receiver's gonna end up, but he's running right through him. Crown actually hits the shoulder pad first when you watch. in Slope. Yeah. Like I've seen this in Slowmo. But you just can't run through that high. And he's not attempting to rap at all. No. This and the attempt to rap, then he can't lead with
Wk 17 News Feed:the
Stoy Hall:crown. This is old school hit. Oh yeah,
Cole Ingle:yeah. This is Ronnie lot. This is awesome. Hello. And Derwin James has a reputation. So that's one of the reasons for the ejection. I don't know if. They, put him in con concussion protocol as well, but I don't know, whatever came from that, he
Stoy Hall:receiver got concussed. I don't think Derwin actually ended up with a concussion. That
Cole Ingle:receiver might have gotten concussed. He might have just broken his collarbone or shoulder or Right. There's a lot like he got
Stoy Hall:wrecked. All I'm saying is when I originally saw it, I did not see a penalty. Technically he led with the Crown and I get the whole rule behind it, but the penalty
Cole Ingle:is, it was just blind blindside, defensive receiver, anything above the numbers. Yeah, you gotta call it. For player safety. And I get that, and that's, again, I love seeing the
Wk 17 News Feed:hit.
Stoy Hall:I just don't think it was, but I don't think, it wasn't intentionally trying to hurt him. I don't think that was it. I'll disagree. Every hit is I'm trying to intentionally hurt somebody and that's why I make that. I am trying to knock you out every
Cole Ingle:hit. This isn't like we watched what Mack Jones did. Yes. Unnecessary Correct. Laying down on a play that this dude just was super athletic, ran really fast. Correct. And then wanted delay the hit stick on This dude just went high instead of just wrapping him up. And he could have went,
Stoy Hall:he could have done the same thing, but went ribs. And that would've
Cole Ingle:been fine. Yeah. And the guy would've broken, broken ribs. And then you are also talking about a five foot 10 receiver. So yeah, Derwin James is a 6 3, 6 foot four. So player size definitely matters as well. Although his ribs would've hurt so bad. So bad. Yep. Oh my lord. And again, the noise, the sound track of that is NFL films. Yeah. Worthy
Stoy Hall:You threw up this one. Yeah. Travis Kelsey leads all, receivers in tight ends and yards after catch as a 33 year old tight end. Yeah. It's just the free, mainly because they don't freaking cover him.
Cole Ingle:And that's, here's the thing is who else are the chiefs gonna throw to They have Schuster and then like they spread the ball well, and so like that. and their scheme, but their scheme is what allows for the yards after catch that Kelsey gets in his very unorthodox receiving slash running style. Old swivel hips. Oh, swivel. Cause he's not fast. Oh, he is physical, right? But he's also a little bit more prone to fumble down the field fighting for yards. But that's also why he leads the league in yak. But at 33
Stoy Hall:also, some people they there is multiple gains. They just don't cover him. No. So that's don't disagree, but yeah.
Cole Ingle:No, but I very rarely is he catch. and not having a couple of people miss Correct. In his big Correct.
Stoy Hall:Accurate place. It the, crazier thing is, it's receivers. That
Cole Ingle:everyone, that's the, yeah. Including Justin Jefferson, who is, may well break the receiving record. He should this year
Stoy Hall:because they gotta play all 18, so he should, yeah. All here we go. N NFL won possession games if the opposite results have occurred. All right. Updated through, Christmas basically. Yeah. So I want you guys to look at these and just look at the team's difference really. The Vikings would be one in 14. One in 14.
Cole Ingle:One in 14. Look at that. They've had one game all year that hasn't been decided by a score. No, That's
Stoy Hall:not how that, There'd be one in 14. They're 11 and oh, there'd be four games. There're one in three in the other games.
Cole Ingle:One. Okay.
Stoy Hall:Yeah, Yeah, yeah. So yes, but e regardless. Crazy in the f c side. Nine ERs would be your one seed bears close. Your two seed falcons, three seed, even Eagles be eight and seven. Yeah. Your Seahawks will be 10 and five, which that's fine. Lions nine and six. Cowboys eight and seven. crazy change up. Would, and that's how close the NFL is. Razor thin. So we go to the AFC side. We got Browns would be the one seat at 10 and five. The Browns right at 10 and five. Jags 10 and five. Raiders 10 and five. And then the, team that you would think would still be one seed to be the bills. Nope. They're nine and. The Broncos would be your, five seat at nine and six. Yeah. Your Broncos who can't score five. Game
Cole Ingle:difference. Five game difference. But there, there was the stat that we had a few weeks back that. had they scored 18
Stoy Hall:or whatever, 12, whatever the stupid number was. Yeah.
Cole Ingle:18, 16, 19, something like that. Points per game. They would've been 13 and two. Yeah. At one point. Yeah. That's crazy. So not, so surprising,
Stoy Hall:but the surprising part is how bad their
Cole Ingle:quarterback is. Again, their coach just got fired and that's how close they are to being nine and six. And the other status is how close they are to being a team that's right there with the chiefs as far as overall reps,
Stoy Hall:absolutely. Bengals Nine and six Chiefs nine and six, and that rounds out. But AFCs still tight regardless. Yeah, I mean we're, we have a difference of five five wins. From the bottom of the Chargers to the top of the Browns NFC would be 10 to one. Much greater spread there. And, but it really, it's just the Vikings of how crazy they would be. But I thought that was interesting.
Cole Ingle:We talked about, but I mean, the one that jumps off to me there, the Giants as. As we just talked about, the Giants losing three games, they still have five other victories of one score games in which they've won. So that's just right there. That's eight games that they've had within a score less. And they're, actually five and three in those games. Yeah. So they're, better for it. They've got eight wins. There's three six. They would, yeah, they'd play a lot of close football games. So just
Stoy Hall:goes to say N F L this year has been awesome. Yeah, I had to throw this one up here for the old Matty Ice. Okay. Just throwing that up there. Met Ryan in the 33 to 36, lost to the Vikings. Had one touchdown, zero picks, zero fumbles. Lost three sacks. Taken. The media Matt, Ryan Blue, A 33. Point lead Nick Foz replacing Matt. Zero touchdowns. Three interceptions. Zero fumbles. Seven sacks taken. Nick Folz is out there battling Sure guys. The Colts not good. Okay. The Colts are bad. Yeah, Colts are bad. I don't care about that one. Oh, this one. US one's glorious. All right. Lazard Little Allen Ard Little. Another. Iowa State love product. It's his celebration after knocking three guys. Really? Two to the ground?
Cole Ingle:No, he got three. He hit two, but one of them hit another. So it's great block. Good block
Stoy Hall:2022. Who just,
Cole Ingle:this is great. Effective. So when we're in film post game coaches are grading film for those unfamiliar just giving a, couple of different grades to a play. So one would be execution of what is your job on this play. The other one would be effort level. Those types of things where, okay, you did your job, but did, you do your job because the defense didn't really threaten you, or did you like really go out and, do your job? So Lazard is in charge of basically one person, maybe one and a half people you would call it on this place. So he's in charge of the first threat, and so the fact that he gets a block on what becomes a safety coming downhill, who's not even over the top of him, 20. because most guys would just try to, get 28 outta the way because they're in man to man coverage. And then 22 would fly through and make this play. Both Lazar gets a shoulder on him so he doesn't have an angle to make the play 28 out. Leverage out Ed and the two big boys running after him get taken out. Because of what Lazard does to 22. Yeah. If Lazard doesn't pick up 22 like he's supposed to inside out, none of the other things happen. And so this is like an a plus yes. As far as everything that he did, because I'm not even sure that he would get a negative if he just went and blocked 28 on this play because he's right over the top. There's very little difference overall. Yeah. And you know the place coming to the outside. So in playing both sides, like it's hard to know exactly which one of those is a bigger threat. you're running back. So maybe a little bit of a is luck oh, absolutely. With him, but absolutely just the wherewithal to, and Lazard is known as one of the best blocking receivers in Absolutely in nfl and has been since he was at Iowa State as one of the things that increased his draft stock to even being draftable. Was that, fun to see him. It's a local guy we've seen, played at a local high school here, Urbandale High School. So always fun to see those guys do well. So
Stoy Hall:I pause it in a great spot from a defenses perspective. Yep. Okay. The issue, the main issue from a, fit, a gap fitting situation is actually 28. Lazard doesn't go to block him. Yeah. So he's
Cole Ingle:gotta slide outside immediately. He has to
Stoy Hall:get out here. Okay. If he gets out there, then he has a decision to go over or under. Right now, he already made the decision, I'm going to blow this through. Which is fine. There's nothing wrong with that. Yeah. Because your next guy, linebacker has to make the. Here. The thing is, this shoulder is actually good enough to then it trips up the linebacker, right? He also wanted to take this inside, which I don't know why because this is wide running back's. I, can't see him. But he's already here. He's outside
Cole Ingle:of the lineman already. He's outside cuz that lineman is head hunting. First available after Lazard chooses whoever he needs.
Stoy Hall:And it's really is gonna be this guy,
Cole Ingle:Uhhuh. And he sees him, who he doesn't even get to because the line. running backs out here. The cornerback takes such a bad angle that it just doesn't even become relevant,
Stoy Hall:which he's not even looking at the run back. There's no way he's, steering, he's trying not
Cole Ingle:to get
Stoy Hall:pancakes done. He's trying not to die. Yep. Right there. That's what he's doing. A hundred percent. If he just went and filled here,
Cole Ingle:that's what we'd like to call him. Business decision,
Stoy Hall:right. If he filled here, He came inside, linebacker goes over the top. Linebacker makes a play because running back's gonna have to cut back for him. Unless he just destroys him, which is possible, right? He has to cut back regardless, which means he's inside,
Cole Ingle:goes over the top. But this would be even more impressive if the corner did get leverage and therefore the cutback lane was the, option like and then he has to cut back through. If 20 eight's out where he is supposed to be and he cuts back through this lane, that would be a hundred percent created. All three guys would've been a lane created by Lazard. Oh yeah.
Stoy Hall:Lazard Lizard won the, this is the Lazard plane. Regardless, but it, this also comes back to the fact that 20 eight's just not trying to die. That's, we'll roll it one more time, but 28 should have made I big guy. A big guy. Oh, okay. Oh, shoot. Don't be big guy. And I, he is way faster than me. There you go. And gone. I don't even know. He
Cole Ingle:scored and Rogers looks over what's going on?
Stoy Hall:Our girl ended in the week. Always good. Yeah. And then this one came up late and it's just, is just, it's tough being a Falcon fan.
