MDS interesting Jersey Choice back there yet let us know what
that is and how it ties into the current news cycle in
the NFL behind me is my practice jersey from Cary-Grove High
School
my senior year was 1994 the 2021 team is doing much better
during the state championship game on Saturday but to get to
the state championship game they beat Lake Forest High
School the team that Matt Nagy son plays for and some of
the students were chanting
fire Nagy at that game and now the school. I'm glad they
apologized and I think on that one but he was very pragmatic
about all the criticism he's receiving and you know what
maybe he's being smart because if he acts like
it bothers him it's probably only going to get worse alright
week 11 Awards offensive player-of-the-week NDSU
I got Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert eat through /
382 yards ran for 90 yards actually the first player in
NFL history to have three 80 and 90 in a game and we all
know how well this Young quarterback is playing but
I don't know if we're
giving it enough credit for just how you delete
a quarterback he is at the age of 23 species with me on the way
he can put an offense on his back late in the fourth quarter
all just outstanding I think he's a legitimate MVP candidate
I
don't think we probably have to run the table because so much
of how we judge and MVP is how well his team does but I think
he's in that class of player that I would consider in French
speaking of another guy who's putting himself in the MVP
conversation MDS is Jonathan Taylor and we all know what he
did on Sunday 32 carries 185 yards for touchdowns rushing
three catches 19 yards and a touchdown receiving 204 total
yards he now
leads the NFL in total touchdowns has just been great
still doesn't lead the NFL in rushing attempts though he's
still behind Derrick Henry and Mike to get that in BP award as
we just talked about Adrian Peterson was the last running
back to do it I
think he's going to have to set some sort of record that
the way he's played the last few weeks here leading the cult
maybe we have to have him at least in that conversation
yeah absolutely and look you have to have a special season
if your non-quarterback of the number one seed but Taylor is
having that special season will see what kind of a finishing
drive he has this guy is not going to get any MVP awards cuz
there's
so many great receivers out there but I got to give some
love the Jeffs in Jefferson who has had a spectacular career so
far he had his 11th 100-yard receiving game of his two-year
career matching Randy Moss and he's got seven more games to
surpass moss
and he's got 7 more games to catch Odell Beckham jr. who has
the Super Bowl ever record with 15 eight catches for 169 two
touchdowns should I had a third and I really did think that
the third one the one that was wiped out on the
long bomb and I think this is it here where you reaches out
at the goal line I think if we had to fix cameras that Bill
Belichick has been clamoring for we would have seen that
the front of that ball kiss the goal line at least
the front of the goal on a he had two touchdown catch coming
out of the backfield he had the touchdown catch to put
the Vikings up 3124 late and just just a phenomenal player and
not the same Sizzle has Randy Moss not the same
Splash in Panache that Mars had but just consistently getting
it done week in and week out and having a great career so
far all right defensive player of the week for week 11 m b s u
r way
Patriots linebacker Kyle Van Noy hit two sacks and
a pick-six as New England shutout Atlanta on Thursday night and
I think illustrates how good Bill Belichick's defenses have been
making the most of players down and putting them in the best
position to win you know he
was a second-round pick of the Lions so the talent was never
in doubt second round pick in Detroit he goes to New England
and he starts to show that talented yet then he spent one
year in Miami last year was a little bit of a disappointment
they cut him now he's back in New England playing well again
he's just the kind of player who fit into what Bill
Belichick likes to do
this time last week we couldn't wait for that Cowboys Chiefs
matchup to see Patrick Mahomes go against Dak Prescott I guess
what it turned into a defensive battle 8:41 the Chiefs won
the best player on the field on Sunday with Chris Jones no
question about that
five tackles two for lost three and a half sacks and a forced
fumble and a fumble recovery a passing defense that was
intercepted I mean what more can you do as a defensive
player 8 pressures on Dak Prescott moving him back inside
as if it's just
been so key for the Chiefs and getting him healthy there
a different defense Mike with Christians inside and with him
healthy
yeah and it's good that they realized the mistake they were
making by moving him outside he has to have to have that that
have it coming up the middle and he is so good at that and
that was a big reason why the Chiefs won that
game big reason why there's 7 + 4 and moving in the right
direction Darius light two straight weeks with touchdowns
scored defensively in last week's was overshadowed by
Teddy Bridgewater's notorious non effort to try to tackle Sly
as he was returning a fumble this time around
it was an interception and he only allowed one catch for nine
yards against the Saints and even with Trevor Simeon and all
the other players are injured at the Sean Payton offense in
for Slater perform that way is impressive one of the reasons
why the Eagles
are trending toward what would be a very unlikely playoff
appearance but at 5 and 6 they are very much alive for that
MBS rookie of the week Europe
Jets receiver Elijah Moore had the best game of his young
career with eight catches for 141 yards on a Sunday has been
a rough yet season without a lot of progress in their
rebuilding effort but I do think more second-round pick
and someone the Jets have
to be excited about Jets coach Robert Saleh hasn't had a lot
to feel excited about meeting but he said after Sunday's game
that more is going to be special I think he's right
about that and the Jets have to hold Zach Wilson and Elijah
Moore become
a a Tena pitch-and-catch combination who can win for
them for years to come
until further notice I'm going to pick Micah Parsons is my
overall the best player on the field the person's was
the second best player on the field for tackles two sacs to tackles
for loss of
forced fumble he's definitely the Defensive Rookie of
the Year barring injury Mike but do you put him in that
conversation for defensive MVP as well as he's playing or give
it to play out of here entirely possible he really is although
Chris Jones is going to
be racking up three and a half sacks the game he's probably
going to run away with the thing but it is possible and
and I think we should just call it the Micah Parsons of word
every week because one of his seems to pick him every
single week as we look for 3 and another rookie who who may
be eclipsing jamarr Chase as the presumptive offensive
Rookie of the Year Mac Jones the mac and cheese that Matt
judon actually doesn't despise and doesn't Advocate that we
boy you know it's just it's
it's systematic its robotic it's exactly what the Patriots
needed it looks smooth it works he runs that offense to
Perfection I think Justin Fields is more talented and
maybe a better quarterback with a higher ceiling or the Long
Haul the Mac Jones precisely
what the Patriots contemplated when they made him the 15th
overall pick and here they are at 7 and 4 they've got two big
games coming up it will go a long way toward proving whether
they're ready to be a deep into the playoffs Contender this
year
with the Titans and the bills and back-to-back games and if
Jones can come out and be is unaffected as he has been all
year long in those games and not blank in the face of
the Titans or the bills defense then and they could be on
their way back to the Super Bowl coach of the week and Bs Europe
Colts Coach Frank Reich believed in Carson Wentz you
push to trade for me. They could win together and after
a rocky start this season right appears to be correct the Colts
are on a three-game winning streak lesson plan real well
for a while now you know
they haven't lost the game outside of overtime since
September every single week they played their best game of
the season on Sunday against the bill Philip Rivers at
quarterback last season and I think they're increasingly
looking like there's going to be a playoff team was Carson
Wentz this season I think Frank Reich is a code to deserve
a lot of credit
when a team fires you there is nothing better than getting
revenge and I can't imagine how good that felt for Ron Rivera
to beat the Carolina Panthers and Cam Newton in his first
start in his return to Carolina but Washington and outstanding
job and Tyler Taylor
heinicke who we haven't had as one of our offensive players of
the week but probably deserved it over these last two weeks
away he's played they really a chance to make a playoff push
now they're four and six they beat in the Bucks and Panthers
they've
got five divisions games left my concluding to against
the Cowboys
bright real quickly from me and look it wasn't a defensive
Masterpiece by the Vikings but Mike Zimmer gets it for one
very important reason and that is ensuring that there was no
window of opportunity there was no time lapse there was not
even one tick on
the clock for Aaron Rodgers to try to catch or beat
the Vikings when they made made a field goal to put the Vikings
ahead As Time expired against the Packers that gets it for
Zimmer because other coaches haven't quite mastered the art
of leaving no time
