 Little emotion out of her bow one who people don't say hasn't met a motion that he shows Do you love to see it the Chargers quarterback? Listen, he has been getting it from all sides hearing it all season But to put on a show to get his team a 23 to 17 went over the Dolphins now what well now my friends We take our AFC playoff paintbrush We dip it in lightning yellow and we draw and paint that bolt that beautiful bolt right back into the AFC playoff Justin Herbert what a game last night. So my voice is so crazy I flew across the country watch this thing 367 yards and a touchdown and he looked Chef's kiss now did he get some extra sleep? Was it some sort of scathing response to the whole social media quarterback Balder dash flying out there? Did he take a swimstones vitamins? Maybe or maybe this is just his third full game with both Kenan Allen and Mike Williams at his disposal ding ding ding. Maybe that's what it takes. He had receivers What a thought and we saw make throws like this Routinely amazing. This is a little Mike Williams action, but it's not just Mike Williams. Oh, hello Herbert to Williams It's not just yeah, look at that catch. It's not Justin It's not one it's two guys two guys that are out there capable of making those types of grabs We talked to Austin Eckler. He's living the only current player on our show That doesn't come on weekly that we've had on our show twice We did an interview with him the first week and we dusted with one with him last week Where I was baffled that he's like the leading receiver for this team Eckler is awesome But he should not be your lead dog in the receiving department I think we saw Justin Herbert in his truest form last night and let's hear it for the defense crazy injuries Major injuries no Derwin no Bosa three other starters out and they still gave gave the Dolphins the bet One of the best teams me on a fellow question mark Dolphins all sorts of problems Miami Well too much our bozzle for everybody out there. What's going on? Are we worried back to back weeks now teams have gotten Aggressive you can see it out there. They're more physical and that's what you can maybe do with a smaller speedy receiving core And this is what happens. We've seen Tua and the passing game Spending their winter break in struggle city if you know what I mean And I'm not ready to panic but and I very much like the Dolphins in the a of c But they got to figure it out why because they don't have the time and they got to go to Buffalo I'm gonna do another to met him out to mountain. Oh Not good and I'm Excited to have my guest today to start the show Chris Carter a Hall of Famer here And I want to ask him what does Miami need to do to adjust to the way? Defenses have sort of figured them out and started to take them on And let's pop up the playoff picture as we see it the one that's beautifully stroked and put together Yep, so here's what happens the Chargers they sneak into the final wildcard spot by sorry jets Sorry, Sulla and the JETS is the Dolphins They fall two games back of Buffalo now and just a game up on LA and New York It's important to note the Jets and Chargers currently hold tiebreakers over Miami as well So they're far from a sure thing to get into the dance right now Hit me up at hey at hey K Adams at up and Adam show and here's what else happened yesterday. Okay The series premiere of the Brock Purdy experience has been mind-blowing so far. Listen I don't watch a ton of TV, but I know this series premieres go one of two ways I watched lots of series premiere and I either stop watching or I keep going. You're a slow burn like an Ozark or a breaking bad or Parks and rec and hot take even Seinfeld. Yeah, even Seinfeld slow out the gates. There's low fanfare There's character development blah blah blah they almost cancel your show and then it somehow grabs you and lights on fire or You're a series premiere and you pop on the screen You are Matthew Fox in Lost bartering for extra vodka bottles in the airplane when Oceanic 815 goes down And I'm thinking who the heck is Jacob for the next five years Dr. Jack shepherd is Brock Purdy Smacking a goat and the bucks around to the tune of 35 to 7 here are the leading actors after this week's episode To make your first career start as a seventh round draft pick against Tom Brady in his hometown And not only be completely unfazed, but absolutely obliterate said go to that sort of unbelievable Of course Purdy had plenty of help from the Niners star plane makers that defense putting up another gem didn't hurt as well but Look at what he was able to do on the day. You cannot take this away from him Purdy finished 16 for 21 with three total touchdowns and a 134 pass the rating now I always try to give you on quarterbacks time before I like to get excited I always say well well who knows what happened. He was in the defense wasn't ready for him, but this was Hard it is hard to watch this game and not say oh, I will I will sign up for the free trial of the ABC go log in back In 2011 to watch episode 2 of lost. I want to know not pennies boat whose boat was it I'm getting amped up about what this rookie is able to do out there. Denver that ABC go and then you have to the commercial That was the worst Okay, I said on Friday this game would teach us a lot about both teams We learned Purdy's good enough to keep this Niners offense rolling That's now six straight wins for San Francisco six and we learned that the comeback win over the Saints didn't solve anything For Tampa, they've got serious issues out the wazoo that they need to work out I mean at the playoff picture. We look upon it the Niners have opened a two game lead in the NFC West They can put the division away with the win on Thursday night in Seattle Meanwhile the Bucks division lead down just a game and watch out for those panthers people They've won three out of four darnold playing well I've already beaten Tampa once this season. So you got to look at that. All right, another thing Chris Carter on the way I think we're getting him checked in now I cannot say enough about what the Lions are doing Lot of fans took the trip being favored over Minnesota yesterday as a massive sign of disrespect for the Vikings have accomplished and said season Well, the Lions said Shut up could they controlled the game throughout and they came up with this 34 23 win So now it's five that they've won over the last six and let's take a look at this. The ties make it a headache. Oh Jazzy music here with the Giants and Seahawks losing Detroit is and they can be in the playoffs They are inching closer and closer. They are just one game back in the win column of both New York and Washington And I think there's a few factors driving the run that we saw on display yesterday the defense They're not the best but they've gotten a lot better They give up some yards through the air to cousins and I mean you couldn't stop Jefferson career high last day I asked Chris Carter about that, but It was like I'm eating a thing of Twizzlers empty calories, right? They they held Devlin cook to just 23 yards out of 15 carries. They still do their things that were better were better And the second thing that I noticed was something that I went in depth on last week And that is why are we sleeping on Jared Goff his struggles earlier in the year? That was when I'm on Ross St. Brown DJ sharp They were injured and he finally has both at full strength as it sounded familiar was I not just saying this about Herbert getting Kenan Allen Mike Williams back and that's why he had success on Sunday night receivers like they're kind of sort of like Important okay, and James and Williams is out there as well a rookie So 330 yards three touchdowns yesterday and look what he's done over these last three games now. Oh Jared Goff second in yards tied for first in touchdowns interceptions ratio Third and pass the rating you surround him with good health the receivers And he's gonna show what he can do under the stewardship of Jan Campbell. I think the thought earlier this year was Hey, the Lions have got some young good talent and once they have a solution at quarterback Once they figure out that riddle and get a real guy in the building as a franchise face of the thing Maybe they'll be okay. Maybe they'll be alright And then of course Aaron Rogers will leave too and that'll be the real thing to make it happen No, no, no, no, I think that we are seeing Jared Goff say no, no, no I am the guy and maybe it wasn't all Sean McVeigh After all now do we have time to give love to the team that I love Conrad? Okay the Bengals I Think people want to say why do you keep talking about the Bengals? Well, maybe if they stopped winning I would have a reason to but Joe Burrow Could never beat the Browns. It's all we talked about all week all we heard about and he got a win 23 to 10 they looked great great defensive performances DJ reader doing his thing Jesse Bates with a huge play that I was on my couch Jumping up and down for for a lot of reasons as you can imagine If the Bengals had simply come in and win I'd probably you know, wouldn't be talking about them But the fact that the offense lost Higgins and Tyler Boyd right in the beginning The first two snaps of the game people and they still found a way to make it work It's as if when they lose a superstar it helps them develop chemistry and other Morris have you heard this before have we talked about this? Yes, they've had issues all sorts of them all year and for them to overcome it is absolutely remarkable a flea flicker to Trenton Irwin Really? That's what we're looking at here nine to Irwin Let's go. Why not diving catch Trent Taylor like I I think I can do a diving catch today. Fine. Sure. Yeah Burrow and Jamar were brilliant as they always are the run game took over with mixon and pee right now You got two guys that have some sort of chemistry and have some bravado and have some confidence And what they're doing the defense was incredible and the Bengals keep rolling. This team's playing at such a high level across the board Uh, you know, I love a complete team. If you know one thing about me You're doing that on both sides. You have my attention five straight wins the Ravens still somehow Control the Nora. Thanks to that had to had to win over sincy the Bengals have moved up to the five seed Meaning they've had a rematch With tennessee on wild card weekend with where things stand today So hopefully the injuries to boyd and higgins are not serious and they will need them back for sure But uh, it was awesome to see the team adapt. Like I said, they adapt adapt adapt and rise to the occasion. Um And that sort of would shake in with them. We've got the playoff picture to break down We're going to take a short break here. We're trying to get chris carter. Maybe he's standing me up I don't think so. I got questions to him about toa We got question out there checking him in we got chris carter on the show after this and I have a million questions I hope you're ready carter
