00:03 When you look at Lamar, obviously the narrative is always going to follow
00:07 the quarterback position in the National Football League.
00:10 Now just two and four in his playoff career.
00:12 Do you think that narrative grows after what was a successful 2023, but
00:17 a disappointing end in the postseason?
00:20 >> Yeah, I think it has to and look, that's just the nature of this business.
00:26 It's the nature of playing the toughest position in sports at quarterback.
00:29 And Lamar's gonna win another MVP.
00:32 And the season's gonna feel empty because they didn't end up even going to
00:35 the Super Bowl.
00:36 I think that's the next thing is he's at least gotta get there.
00:39 But what really catches my eye and caught my eye in this game with Lamar is I looked
00:44 at the player prop before the game on Lamar Jackson and
00:48 his rushing total on FanDuel was 63.5.
00:51 And I said to myself, all right, well look, if he goes over this total,
00:55 Lamar Jackson and the Raimonds are probably gonna win.
00:58 He's gonna have one of those 100 yard rushing games, 10 carries, 15 carries.
01:03 Look, I know it bothers a lot of people that Gus Edwards didn't run more and
01:06 Justice Hill didn't run more.
01:07 You know what bothered me, guys?
01:08 That he only had 50 yards rushing.
01:09 And in watching the game, maybe I don't understand football, but
01:12 it seemed to me like several times in that game there was wide open field
01:17 where he just was taking forever and then chucking it up for an incomplete pass.
01:21 So that's what separates him from everybody else in the NFL.
01:25 And he didn't use that for some reason in that game to get first downs,
01:30 to get extra yards.
01:30 So sort of perplexing during the regular season, I get it.
01:34 You wanna have him around for the Super Bowl.
01:36 But to me, would it have shocked anybody for Lamar to rush nine,
01:39 ten times for 140 yards and he's lifting that trophy and
01:42 that's the reason why they won?
01:43 That's the way I thought that was gonna go down and they didn't even try.
01:47 So I don't know why.
