" I've Royals six myself friend Sosa on the fan tomorrow among our guest to a man build towel who is being mentioned again now in -- I mean Buffalo will be mentioned everywhere Shanahan humans and their --"
" John Lynch. The former safety is and now doing a great job as an analyst and he joins us now he's on fox and he's got the Cardinals this week and you know that's a good place is thought John because. The Cardinals. And off they run a little bit and play little defense they could be a problem in the playoffs again this year you know."
" Yeah I think you're right I can I think you made her fourth as well you think back. Two last year away and it really went on the run and they were nine and seventeen but the last game of the year Edgerrin James went over. A hundred yards for a team that prior had been that. Didn't -- in terms of rushing. The football. And now on the last couple weeks you know they were -- 70% -- on the football earlier this year it happened success. But being well has really electrified this is Russia in them that's provided a balance them. You know studying and panicking she the first seven games Kurt Warner was playing well but. You know eleven touchdowns and eleven interceptions last two weeks that that's coincided with Beanie Wells and a and the running game really gets going he's strong seven touchdowns and zero interceptions so you know every time someone says that. The notion that you have to be able run the football to win in this league it is past say it's not a part of this game anymore it's become central Italy. There is some truth to that but skills. You have to be able to run the football to provide little ballots in in you're seeing Kurt Warner reap the benefits of that right now."
" And the other thing is. They went to Jackson Millen just destroy it you know just destroy them I mean they've gone on the road went to Chicago embarrassed the Bears. They've gone on the road when they used to be -- some road teams and they've now won on the road a lot this year."
" Yeah in fact all three of their losses of comical and so that are trying to figure out that way at all with. There Purdue are right there now would that be -- certainly have been able to go on the road. You know I think -- when you go to a Super Bowl and another -- Egypt since the confident about being able to play with anymore. And the one thing you know people don't have to agree with them but. Jim Whisenhunt didn't stand pat when they law the Super Bowl win fired as he took the court and went to an address. Hire from within but he felt that was an area. Where they should've won that game in the Super Bowl -- up and about it and so this is gene that wants to be a championship team. What did they do ordered I don't know with these certainly have a chance with everything going provided. They continue to run the football in their defense played that type of football that I think people will play."
" I -- about the Giants right now ruin the dog wants to know what about the Giants won about the Giants right now they haven't won a game in five weeks they were five and known that if five and four of the days hoped to be healthier than they've been it here comes a falcon team equally you know ban overlaid. That team is also five and full wanna mom's gonna take a step forward he had the other one's going to be in big big big big trouble. What do you think right now with the Giants."
" Well you know what I think but I think about the Giants it is kind of makes me. As much as I enjoyed ornament you know and -- makes me wanna make a comeback because."
" safety getting the safety position who are sure they could use you would say yeah the -- it is no question."
" You know I think back so you know relieved that we figure expose their sometimes you can go along until you face are real good opponent. You can hi -- deficiencies. Well like you can't account for chuck Phillips. Getting hurt you know he was playing at a high level and it was playing extremely good football and -- that they run in the New Orleans and Drew Brees. And they exposed and this is viciously in -- shows something on film people continue to go after it ever since that game. People have been going after that we. I expect -- last year the Saints in the same thing what with Roy Williams and their -- matter how well they exposed. Is deficiencies in pass coverage. Kinda read the league took notice them -- to the point where like there you're like -- doc feels so they've got to be able to address that. You know about the best answer to that in so little yet giant Duke street well -- after the passer which. I think you are going to be it would change yet back there at this point in -- got to try to make up Orton. That's what area that I believe they can -- get out and you know your Patrick's."
" Saints unbeaten but many thing you concede the level of their performances going down now for about four straight weeks they keep winning. But their performances are getting. So lost there and -- and so lost would you be worried about them."
" Yeah definitely I I did them early in the season and I think we were three and you know I made the point then that. Williams is doing a masterful job with -- defense. But like I felt like a lot of it was booked here. He's doing pretty good job island out new things each and every week. But at some point people bigger scheme and you have to be able to be people mono -- and I think the last couple weeks. People are bigger now that's the type of gain. Did you happen naked in these guys. -- Carolina -- Extremely successful running the football and just guessed -- New Orleans last week trained Louis Steven Jackson had their way in the football. And they're gonna have to have to figure out some answers for better work these weeks Drew Brees and these guys are kind of bailed out you know they've. There they've managed to cover up some of the deficiencies defensively with all the turnovers. But at some point. You know you can go through a stretch where you're gonna get all those turnovers and so. I think they are start they showed some that we is but in -- there are there there are undefeated -- to do that this you can refuse and you're you're doing -- well."
" No question they want they do is they're explosive them last week they go than the returning game two was -- John Lynch who will be doing a Cardinals game this week for fox and Minnesota. You know. Fall of his had a sensational year. Maybe this is gonna turn out there really be storybook in that you know it it looks like it's got that that chance to be that kind a year for him. He's had an incredible season they got a lot of weapons they got a lot of defense of talent they got a lot of offense of down the kit Hawkins been great. Maybe it's the Vikings in."
" Yet you know I think I'm not start to believe in myself and I've played against Brett Favre for a lot of years and people say well as globally has a long time you know properties of these play in the their football upper."
" What I haven't would you ever think you'd see -- seventeen touchdowns three and the sets you know."
" It is exactly and we could play them. Get used to it and on the they'll -- weakening today. You're gonna where are -- yes wonderful but we'll have our chances to intercept all we catch real well. You know will be all right -- win -- yours if you don't catch. Comeback Egypt and that would all the culture and if you protecting the football. I think two things going -- that I think. Whatever and Adrian Peterson you know you don't have to win the game like your -- and number Q I think. -- art and I think."
" these unbelievable."
" Yes he has been in the easy throws. That you can you know you can throw that little bubble screens they -- and get thing -- requirement so. I think those those couple of actors and play with such great people. At all and allowed our our visit him with the earlier this year and he knows he doesn't have the game on shoulders and he he responded and have a humbling year."
" Plus they got a good player allegedly may have may have one -- two terrific offensive linemen big two great defensive lineman. I mean they guys you know Williams and then Jared Allen I mean they have they have a good corner they have called and they have a great back they don't fall. I mean they got a lot of weapons they got seven married really top notch football players up a lot to have --"
" That you think they they're short defensively. A lot of people you know outrageous you know those -- war but what oh and to be a dominant defense I always think you can be more down with a 43. The problem. It target -- all pro life you know it. You'd think about the -- of the board a couple of years ago that you know what that -- for the people couldn't block them. And you've got candidates scenario and certainly get and the people get Jared Allen got gently Pat Williams. And Ray Edwards -- pretty good too and so. They present a tough challenge they haven't been nominated I think it might be defensively it sure there there are but what. What they get that -- media parking --"
" It's ugly John Lynch. In I agree it does anybody else interest here I mean where's the other team gonna come from as the Cowboys as the Eagles. Oh win. Where is the if someone's gonna threaten the Vikings in the -- witty beast than give the Giants a chance to think is the Eagles -- and the Cowboys with the Cardinals who is the team comin' from that's gonna make a run here late in the season."
" It you know possibly it's because I'm I'm starting him right now. But I think Arizona as we talked about all the said it is running game go or are still planned -- I don't know those three receivers. I I think provided their defense can play good football and that's the question mark -- for sure with these guys. I think they're explosive enough to hang with these seen right now the teams that are successful at their losses they scored -- and that's that's what school and in the league right now and so. Yes it's nice if you look at looking like Carolina. There's sort of like -- football but in the game this topic is going to be exposed that. They hang with those teams there is no team that I think potentially could use that so I think -- that this is going to be reckoned."
" How about the AFC."
" DNC I think. Well. Its interest in that game the other night you know the end result was Indy coming back I think the Patriots are really -- strikes or you're a lot of things."
" I what do you think gonna call us get to that and we got there I had to -- definitely we tennis yeah c'mon let's billion I can't leave -- people actually defend a school I mean you lease your old coach. Got up there and NBC and -- doesn't wanna get involved and -- but they said don't what do you think and he goes take on the beyond a series applicable I mean let's be honest I mean global watching football long time you don't punt the ball -- so it."
" Yeah didn't you know that deal was there wasn't that it was for you because that would attack that we should -- what Bill Belichick scored port report. Quicker decision -- genius but I think when your maker of 29 year old yard line. That that's the problem with that with the decision and a you know I I think he deserves to be called out that well it is from -- and is played here for three weeks. We didn't -- Belichick well the one thing about him some coaches would be raised in affected by you ever want talking about anything if it yeah."
" Oh he could -- legacy could fearless and."
" Could care less than there are -- and on message -- this week so -- hoping it will pay. There that I think they're really start play very good football. Inky I think is now on the other side of that decision I've been. You know I think -- that Monday night game in 2003. And get beaten by a couple touchdowns and 33 -- game back and -- so. You know any time you have and you're gonna be a force to be reckoned -- they lose and Bob Sanders. -- play. Just he's a difference maker. And defensively they're doing really well I think. We -- him at some point can hurt them I think -- of the change in the AFC."
" Yeah and it's amazing in on the safety has become such a big position when the Giants. The Giants really had such high hopes for Phillips this year. And and and they have not been able to replace them and you see is funny that's become -- You know I'm -- and safety wasn't a big deal you know and safeties become such. Because of such a hybrid position now in the league -- become such a big position. Look at the Steelers went Polamalu also off the off the field like a different team you see these safeties. These safeties really have become enormously. Enormously big players in these in these games."
" There's no doubt. You know that that makes me proud of -- where where you never heard of this thing -- drafted in the first round that was just after. Maybe once every five years -- because there was knowledge of feeling good fight get one in the third round -- trial. But now looking -- the impact he's got to have on the game when you look at the majors he says I've -- nature of the position. We got that thing -- the that I injured decentralized and get after the pastor passenger linebacker played in the box. -- cover receivers in using your pass coverage. And because of that. The great it was really takeover. You know like game and take over I think in the playoffs the last 56 years. She that they really take over the team in in really item per couple weeks. And I think it's critical to have a difference maker safety it is football."
" It's amazing and really has it's become the is become the new glamour position and did it has changed dramatically and it really has I mean. You see these teams they displayed differently when these key safeties -- of the games I mean it is remarkable I'm mania and like you said you -- guys this got to make you proud as a whole say if there's gotta make you proud."
" Ever that. You know it that the nature of the position change you ask. An arena that was called safety because well back. -- And Tony Dungy was that the forefront of that bring in -- in the box blitzing safety. And the nature of the position -- change sure."
" Well in the league is such that the way you play defense now is you have to attack the quarterback. And you have to minimize the big play that's what you have to do on defense you've got to go ask the quarterback and you have to just keep them from scoring. Cause you know you can give up that big play to skimpy is going play if you can keep the ball on the field and attacked the quarterback then you're doing your job as you know they didn't give up some big plays as the way the league is. They can't be scoring plays -- assist the difference -- once you get the red zone guzzle scored Arizona anyway you know I if you look teams have so much doubles going and Arizona's crazy."
" Yet it seems better schools there's America. You know you talk about the explosive. Scoring plays and other statistics that say 95%. Of the I'm thinking score in this in this league these days -- include an explosion plays meter runner and so is critical. That the position thinking certainly doable and knock in open was by."
" Well John always pleasant thought the -- of the good work we'll -- the along the way."
