what I would Monday night is over between the bears and
the Steelers Chris that means we are exactly halfway through
the season
Argus faster I'll go back yes that's we're almost half of
the season right or get getting as a good time
to head out to mid season awards
individuals on the field some coaches as well
some rookies so let's start with the M. V. P. N. this is
an interesting choice yeah
tonight %HESITATION but according to points
Tom Brady is the favorite Josh Allen added some days just
behind calibrated play today
Stafford was off about him in a moment that Prescott it was not
a good thing to be on this list now they're kind of
to death row right there I
definitely did I mean
Josh Allen Murray Prescott
nothing good Stafford is my pick
to win the MVP but of course yes it was not a good night
I know that but again
I'm not going to just make a reaction off of one game he's
been phenomenal throughout the whole year he's made the rams
a different football team all together because it doesn't
have to just be about
one in the
legs I don't didn't look like that way against the Tennessee
Titans and I'd
touchdown to interception ratio is about as good as anybody in
football quarterback ratings have been as good as anybody in
football he's still makes a ton of plays a big throws in
the pocket I mean
did did we think
that everybody just think the rams are gonna be seven and two
and have this type office of Matthew Stafford I remember
hearing a lot of people like well now we'll see what
staffers all about I don't want it right away that well yeah
it's exciting you are given that yes I was excited for it
I think it came you know came to life even faster than
I expected and again I know tonight was struggles bill for
for Matthew Stafford he did some dumb stuff tonight there's
no doubt about that
but for the season he's been pretty on point I'm gonna guess
that we're gonna see what he said after the game that he
had pretty good accountability for what happened with
the %HESITATION usually does areas
those
two turnovers yeah I mean the first one %HESITATION
you know guys got hold me I gotta do a better job just
by just falling on that one
or %HESITATION you know thrown over Roberts said maybe earlier
%HESITATION was trying to maybe get back through it but
%HESITATION can't have that I basically spot on fourteen
points I mean can't do that me and I felt so she gets a good
team like that they want to you know get out front run
the football mix coverages do all that kind of stuff so
%HESITATION just wasn't good enough early in the game turn
our turnovers really you know killed us and those around me
so %HESITATION you know if I clean those up and I know it
will
take a lot of confidence in this team to go out there and
and play some you know really good football our defense
really good you know good enough to keep us in the game
you know Sir really you know if we don't turn the ball over
twice
%HESITATION you know give us a chance to win that one so
%HESITATION got to play better myself %HESITATION you know
first and foremost
with the way the Tennessee defense played tonight against
Matthew Stafford I was reminded that the same group that caps
Patrick Mahomes only three points here Russell right
they've got some things figured out they do they're good up
front their creative coach Dave game plan specific defensive
schemes in a week
to week basis one we cover four might look like this the next
week cover for looks a little different you know that's where
they're special
and Paul I know you and I've talked about a little bit you
know during our podcast sessions together that
they're one of the best zone defenses in football they
really understand how to pass people off from one area to
the next and that led to a lot of Stafford struggles and I get
some dumb decisions but
certainly let's give credit to the Titans defense to
absolutely from a team defense playing extremely well let's go
down to individual defenders time to pick a defensive MVP at
the halfway point of the year Myles Garrett the favorite
DJ wanted Pittsburgh right behind him
and Ramsey
is your pick coming off his mind it might get by I'm going
with chalk here I mean I think it's Myles Garrett to me Myles
Garrett in the best defensive player in football this year
you know he's very good against the run
but you could see
one on one around the edge
I mean he's he's reached the Aaron Donald status of Elvis on
black available these one on one you have to have a plan for
Myles Garrett he's just too big he's too fast
he disruptive we saw that again today
the bangles so it's the first time in a while I think we got
to this point of the year arriving at die or dollars
definitely the
defense of the pay always godly somebody challenging a little
bit higher and yeah I go and Myles Garrett for sure we spend
so much time in the spring talking about the rookies to
being getting to know them
I'm glad that we're going with rookies of the year as well
%HESITATION at our halfway point of the season picks
so are we beginning with the offense or the defense how bout
with you there on the left side we have offense jamarr chase
way out in front and on defense Michael Parsons even further
out in front of that so the defense is a no brainer it's
not even a discussion I don't think I mean
Michael Parsons is definitely the defense a rookie of
the year Michael Parsons is already one of the best linebackers in
full
I mean he's one of the best even the players in the league
we can do everything rush the passer defense and cover
linebackers are
running backs out of the backfield
will fill the gap and take on a full back get a ball field at
the tailback there's nothing you can do
I mean I'm being human being but and credibly athletic and
you could see how we could change the fall down
and then fall did you say chase just to get
it's one I mean I'm going to chase just because %HESITATION
I did not not that smart to take myself there like that put
your more chase
for what he has done this year I mean he's been arguably
the most explosive wide receiver in football made a few mistakes
today I know that
but then what one
week after week jamarr chase has been amazing I want to give
back Johnson love not G. Harris of course been good for
the Steelers
but nobody's made the impact for their offense as a rookie
like jamarr chase I remember that big discussion should they
go with the wide receiver or should they go with the offense
and adult life halfway through the season they certainly made
did right right six of that here I think you have a lot of
good choices for coach of the year and I'm curious to find
out which one do you think is best Kingsbury
at the top John Harbaugh always does a good job my Frankel will
has been excellent
Sean Payton soup
and ran Staley's first year
with the Chargers
a lot of guys to pick from right there
one guy which was on that list too was back on the floor
I mean how many years in a row to the taxes have to be good
and he has to manage like dysfunctional situations before
he gets a block here
Kingsbury here's well and trust me everybody
sixty four I pick these activities first all right
we've talked before the year this is a hot seat here they
had to do something they had to get
yeah they have a good roster built by Steve Kerr
Kingsbury has
play caller I think he's understand how to manage
the game a little bit even if they don't get big plays
you know we've talked about a certain weeks where they can be
patient and go on fifteen play yard fifteen play drives so
I give cooking's very with a lot of pressure on him a lot of
credit for what he did Dan
this like that right that's nice right
it's a great looking lineup
and I want to say one more thing about Kliff Kingsbury you
just say one more thing
we were talking before the season started about how much
you like Kyler Murray but you needed cliff Kingsbury to do
a little more to help him exactly right at our spots yes what is
he done in cold recorded it today too right what is he done
that to kind of answer that because I think it's more
formation usage is not just for wide receivers and Kyler Murray
in the shock on play after play you know we talk about that
a lot last year was very easy to break them down I think
as the season went on
you know they gotten better on the offense a line which is
allowed Kliff Kingsbury company be more physical stay true to
the running game all you wanna play pass even to stop caller
very
fine here chase admins here's James o'connor
and then you know and then the ability to
win teams took away the big plays
of Kingsbury's had an inventory of offense
and ways to find five yard completion six your completion
eight your completion so that's what I really love and that's
what I meant about helping Kyler Murray out
and we've seen Kyler Murray of course play better football
because I think he's got a few more advantages schematically
now yeah not just a little bit better he's played a whole lot
better no doubt things very calm again that way
