Team USA now faces Italy and 11 00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:33,600 Speaker 2: the quarters. That's Friday. Spurs big man Victor Webbin Yama 12 00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:36,080 Speaker 2: became just the fifth player in NBA history to score 13 00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:38,640 Speaker 2: forty points in twenty six minutes or less during his 14 00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:40,199 Speaker 2: team's win over the Lakers last night. 15 00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:42,000 Speaker 4: Le Bron James was a late scratch for. 16 00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:44,879 Speaker 2: LA, missing the sixty five game threshold to win all 17 00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:47,600 Speaker 2: NBA honors and ending his streak at a record twenty 18 00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:51,240 Speaker 2: one straight seasons. New Raiders coach Clint Kubiak said Tuesday 19 00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:54,240 Speaker 2: he's hoping to keep defensive en Max Crosby with the organization. 20 00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:57,280 Speaker 2: Crosby's reportedly told the team he wants out and met 21 00:00:57,320 --> 00:01:00,280 Speaker 2: shortstop Francisco Lindor. He's facing surgery for a new bagging 22 00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:03,040 Speaker 2: wrist injury. He would be ready for opening day though, 23 00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:05,839 Speaker 2: if he has the procedure and that sports I'm Scott 24 00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:08,320 Speaker 2: David said previously on The Herd. 25 00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:12,840 Speaker 5: Push, we went Stafford should be the MVP over Drake May, 26 00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:15,760 Speaker 5: and I said, the reason is every time Matt Stafford 27 00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:18,840 Speaker 5: walks to the line, he understands the why. Drake May 28 00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:21,120 Speaker 5: is still trying to figure out, as I said last week, 29 00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:23,520 Speaker 5: the what he didn't have the answers against Seattle. 30 00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:25,880 Speaker 4: A new day in the Herd starts. 31 00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:32,080 Speaker 6: Now, ladies and gentlemen, you guys can laugh at me. 32 00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:34,680 Speaker 1: All you want is the Herd. Oh yeah, yeah, yah 33 00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:38,120 Speaker 1: yea yeah with Colin Cowherd. I'm setting the tone. 34 00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:38,720 Speaker 7: They're showing. 35 00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:41,800 Speaker 1: Radio's the Hag. All right, you want to talk sports. 36 00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:44,679 Speaker 8: The Herd with Colin Cowherd starts now. 37 00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:48,520 Speaker 5: Okay, here we go, Here we go. It's hour two. 38 00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:51,400 Speaker 5: It is a Wednesday. We're live in Chicago. 39 00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:52,680 Speaker 1: It is the Herd. 40 00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:56,639 Speaker 5: Wherever you may be, however you may be listening or watching. 41 00:01:57,240 --> 00:01:59,240 Speaker 5: Thanks for making us part of your day. Greg cosell 42 00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:00,880 Speaker 5: Is going to show up up four or five minutes. 43 00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:03,320 Speaker 5: So I was thinking about this. I know it's really 44 00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:05,720 Speaker 5: really early, but the NFL season is over, and once 45 00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:08,920 Speaker 5: an NFL season ends, there are three ways to improve 46 00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:12,800 Speaker 5: your team. Number one is the coaching and staff hires. 47 00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:15,440 Speaker 5: Number two is free agency, and number three is the draft. 48 00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:18,000 Speaker 5: Those are the primary ways. I think the draft's worth 49 00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:21,240 Speaker 5: about fifteen percent. I think free agencies are worth about 50 00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:24,519 Speaker 5: fifteen percent, and I think Ben Johnson and Mike Vrabel 51 00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:28,919 Speaker 5: are proof. The coaching is about seventy percent. Now, most 52 00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:31,720 Speaker 5: rosters don't radically change, and if they do, like New 53 00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:34,799 Speaker 5: England change this year, well it's up to Mike Frabel, 54 00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:38,600 Speaker 5: the coach. Okay, good, so to me, the coaching thing 55 00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:41,000 Speaker 5: really matters. So if you look at the teams that 56 00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:43,840 Speaker 5: have made big jumps in a year, Ben Johnson, Mike Rabel, 57 00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:47,880 Speaker 5: Jim Harbaugh, Liam Cohen, Sean Payton, it's not all players, 58 00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:51,120 Speaker 5: it's mostly the coach. And if they do change the roster, 59 00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:53,440 Speaker 5: the coach has big say in that. The coach making 60 00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:57,880 Speaker 5: eighteen million a year has a lot of say in 61 00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:00,880 Speaker 5: even the draft and free agency. So I mean the 62 00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:04,080 Speaker 5: Titans and Giants had a lot of money last year. 63 00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:07,520 Speaker 5: They didn't have the right coaches. Okay, New England had 64 00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:09,200 Speaker 5: a lot of money last year. In free agency, they 65 00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:11,959 Speaker 5: had the right coach. I mean, Jackson Dart and Drake 66 00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:16,040 Speaker 5: Mayor both talented. It's the coach in seatles the draft, 67 00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:18,840 Speaker 5: So it's not the draft Seatle's the draft. They had 68 00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:21,639 Speaker 5: two guys, a guard and a safety out of the 69 00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:24,720 Speaker 5: draft class. They had an impact two of twenty two starters, 70 00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:27,880 Speaker 5: and that's not counting special teams, and their special teams. 71 00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:29,200 Speaker 1: In Seattle were impactful. 72 00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:32,280 Speaker 5: So I do believe you can look after all the 73 00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:35,119 Speaker 5: coaching hires. I'm going to do a top ten, after 74 00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:38,320 Speaker 5: the coaching hires, after free agency, and after the draft, 75 00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:41,000 Speaker 5: and I would say, here we go number ten. I 76 00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:43,800 Speaker 5: think the Chiefs, I'd put them at number ten right now. 77 00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:45,000 Speaker 1: They've got three. 78 00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:47,960 Speaker 5: Really good picks, three of the top seventy five picks. 79 00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:50,360 Speaker 5: They need to get a rush end, an offensive tackle, 80 00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:52,960 Speaker 5: probably a running back. If they get that notre name 81 00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:55,520 Speaker 5: running back in the first round, I don't think they will, 82 00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:58,000 Speaker 5: but if they do absolute home run, I have them 83 00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:01,560 Speaker 5: at ten. Number nine would be Buffalo. Okay, Buffalo doesn't 84 00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:03,200 Speaker 5: have a lot of cap space, and they don't have 85 00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:06,520 Speaker 5: a pro bowler on defense right now. Joe Brady. Is 86 00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:09,280 Speaker 5: he an upgrade over Sean McDermott. I don't necessarily think so. 87 00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:13,560 Speaker 5: I'm gonna wait and see. Their schedule is brutal Rams Texans, 88 00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:20,120 Speaker 5: AFC West, NFC North, brutal, brutal schedule Number six to 89 00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:24,080 Speaker 5: Patriots are number eight. The Patriots. I like New England, 90 00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:27,200 Speaker 5: but Drake May was sacked sixty eight times this year. 91 00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:30,600 Speaker 5: The O line doesn't need a tweak. It mostly outside 92 00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:34,680 Speaker 5: of guard, needs an overhaul. Three straight playoff games with 93 00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:36,960 Speaker 5: eight plus points at one point in the Super Bowl 94 00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:41,119 Speaker 5: eight drives, eight points and seven completions. They also played 95 00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:44,520 Speaker 5: an incredibly weak schedule. Next year, I think it's a 96 00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:46,480 Speaker 5: top six, most difficult schedule. 97 00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:48,640 Speaker 1: They'll be a very good team. 98 00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:51,719 Speaker 5: I don't think in the AFC they'll represent the conference 99 00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:53,960 Speaker 5: in the Super Bowl. Number seven I would say the 100 00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:56,720 Speaker 5: Detroit Lions. I really like their O Sea Hire out 101 00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:59,840 Speaker 5: of Arizona. I was surprised how good the Cardinals offense 102 00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:02,680 Speaker 5: was at times this year, which to Kobe Brissett. 103 00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:04,800 Speaker 1: I think they've got. 104 00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:08,640 Speaker 5: Their star players all signed, and they've got star players 105 00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:12,400 Speaker 5: at key positions. Pass rusher, tackle, weapon, quarterback. 106 00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:15,680 Speaker 1: I have the Lions at seven, number six Liam Cohen. 107 00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:16,320 Speaker 1: Year one. 108 00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:19,719 Speaker 5: What a turnaround by the Jaguars. Top ten in offense 109 00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:24,239 Speaker 5: and defense. They're only going to get better. I mean, listen, 110 00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:28,120 Speaker 5: first coach to ever win thirteen plus games taken over 111 00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:33,039 Speaker 5: a team with four fewer wins only first year head coach. 112 00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:38,440 Speaker 5: That's pretty good. That's pretty good team. So and I 113 00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:41,279 Speaker 5: think they didn't have Travis Hunter playing much. He should 114 00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:43,840 Speaker 5: play a role going forward. Jags at six. I think 115 00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:45,479 Speaker 5: the Chargers are going to feel like a super Bowl 116 00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:49,960 Speaker 5: team in September. Upgrade at OC. Both their tackles back 117 00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:52,240 Speaker 5: tons of cap space, and I think they're going to 118 00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:55,160 Speaker 5: spend it on offense to protect Justin Herbert as they should. 119 00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:57,880 Speaker 5: The defense may not be as good without Jesse Menzer, 120 00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:00,160 Speaker 5: It'll be fine, but I think they're gonna look it's 121 00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:02,640 Speaker 5: like a different team offensively next year. I'd put the 122 00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:04,560 Speaker 5: Bears at four. I know you think it's high. The 123 00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:06,880 Speaker 5: Rams had to play a perfect game and beat them 124 00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:10,240 Speaker 5: in overtime in the playoffs. Last four losses all came 125 00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:13,120 Speaker 5: in one score games. Teams, by the way, went two 126 00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:15,360 Speaker 5: to fourteen and one after they played the Bears. 127 00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:17,800 Speaker 1: I don't know what that means, but it's something. They 128 00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:18,800 Speaker 1: did not take. 129 00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:21,440 Speaker 5: The ball away in the playoffs like they did in 130 00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:23,920 Speaker 5: the regular season. I think they have to suspend almost 131 00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:27,640 Speaker 5: their entire draft capital on defensive players. Number three the 132 00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:31,200 Speaker 5: Denver Broncos. Not only were they missing bow Knicks, but JK. 133 00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:33,480 Speaker 5: Dobbins and two of their top three receivers in the 134 00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:35,880 Speaker 5: playoff game. They should have been the Super Bowl team. 135 00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:38,400 Speaker 5: They matched up with Seattle much better. I think Seattle 136 00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:41,920 Speaker 5: would have won, but Denver kind of felt like between 137 00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:44,040 Speaker 5: the blizzard and their injuries, they. 138 00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:44,799 Speaker 1: Got bad breaks. 139 00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:49,440 Speaker 5: Fewest sacks allowed tied to the fewest sacks allowed and 140 00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:51,039 Speaker 5: the most sacks on defense. 141 00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:51,880 Speaker 1: I'm sorry. 142 00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:54,800 Speaker 5: I like the coach, the roster, and the quarterback. Number two, 143 00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:56,599 Speaker 5: and maybe they should be Number one. I'd put the 144 00:06:56,680 --> 00:07:00,760 Speaker 5: Rams out gained opponents even in their five law this year, 145 00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:05,919 Speaker 5: highest quidded offense, highest quidded defense, according to PFF, played 146 00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:09,120 Speaker 5: the toughest schedule by any playoff team. I worry about 147 00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:14,000 Speaker 5: Matt Stafford's age, but there's an argument they'll be the 148 00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:16,680 Speaker 5: best team in the league next year. Number One Seattle 149 00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:20,840 Speaker 5: Between Mike McDonald, John Snyder, his drafting record, Sam Donald, 150 00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:23,960 Speaker 5: so many of it's like watching a little bit like 151 00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:28,120 Speaker 5: watching OKC last year, the Spurs this year. They have 152 00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:31,200 Speaker 5: so much upside and they're already really really good. 153 00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:33,800 Speaker 1: So Seattle just doesn't miss. 154 00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:38,000 Speaker 5: And they've last four years, they've hit on their top 155 00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:42,360 Speaker 5: two picks and I mean stars the last four years 156 00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:45,360 Speaker 5: in the draft top two picks, so they're not even 157 00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:46,520 Speaker 5: paying those guys yet. 158 00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:48,760 Speaker 1: That would be my top ten right now. 159 00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:51,800 Speaker 5: I don't have Green Bay, but they've been a number 160 00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:53,520 Speaker 5: seven seed in the playoffs, haven't they? 161 00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:56,800 Speaker 1: This year? They were a seven seed with the seven 162 00:07:56,880 --> 00:07:57,679 Speaker 1: seed the year before. 163 00:07:57,960 --> 00:08:00,720 Speaker 5: J Mack, you you're just puzzled by. 164 00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:01,520 Speaker 9: This, listen. 165 00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:04,000 Speaker 8: I know, I know, we have a guest usually here. 166 00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:05,960 Speaker 8: I got a lot to say about this one, so 167 00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:09,280 Speaker 8: they we should wait a little bit. I mean, it's 168 00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:15,000 Speaker 8: kind of wild here, coward really so no Eagles anywhere 169 00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:17,720 Speaker 8: to be found, No Joe Burrow, no Lamar Jackson. I mean, 170 00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:19,560 Speaker 8: were you the one they had? 171 00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:19,920 Speaker 10: Nine? 172 00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:23,960 Speaker 5: Lamar Jackson that new contract, he's gonna get. 173 00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:27,760 Speaker 1: That that. The Ravens are gonna have to move off people. 174 00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:30,760 Speaker 8: Where are the Houston Texans? Is eleven or something like. 175 00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:32,839 Speaker 1: Aren't you the guy that kept complaining that C. J. 176 00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:33,960 Speaker 1: Stroud was regressing. 177 00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:35,880 Speaker 8: I think he's not a very good quarterback. 178 00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:37,600 Speaker 1: So you don't have a very good quarterback. How are you? 179 00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:39,720 Speaker 5: How are you better than Mahomes and Josh Allen and 180 00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:40,880 Speaker 5: Drake May and Jared Goff. 181 00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:43,200 Speaker 8: The defense is elite, and we just saw it's not 182 00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:46,720 Speaker 8: about quarterbacks, it's about defense. At this point, I'm surprised 183 00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:49,280 Speaker 8: he Atlanta Falcons. Okay, I'm just that's just a joke. 184 00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:53,480 Speaker 8: But yeah, this is uh three from the AFC West. 185 00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:55,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, two from. 186 00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:57,040 Speaker 8: The NFC West. No Niners. 187 00:08:57,080 --> 00:08:59,640 Speaker 5: Hey, you know how I like Mendoza Raiders maybe eleven 188 00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:03,880 Speaker 5: by couple. Stop all right, let's bring in Greg Cosel. 189 00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:09,680 Speaker 5: Forty six years NFL films. There's so much to talk about. 190 00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:11,640 Speaker 5: You know, I love Sam Donald. You know, I've always 191 00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:14,520 Speaker 5: loved Sam Donald. I know that I know that he 192 00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:17,120 Speaker 5: had a little hitch in his you know, delivery, and 193 00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:19,360 Speaker 5: he came into the league at twenty, so he wasn't 194 00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:23,040 Speaker 5: quite ready. I argued yesterday, people say, you know, everybody 195 00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:25,840 Speaker 5: loves to get credit, and I said the NFC was 196 00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:29,560 Speaker 5: the better conference this year. By the end of the year, 197 00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:32,520 Speaker 5: Maholmes is beat up and all that, And I said, 198 00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:36,280 Speaker 5: to go through a playoff and Mike Rabels defense without 199 00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:37,040 Speaker 5: a turnover. 200 00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:41,360 Speaker 1: Breeze did that once. Aikman did it once. 201 00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:45,320 Speaker 5: Like that is safe because that Rams defense can create turnovers. 202 00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:47,880 Speaker 5: But you tell me, when you watch the Super Bowl 203 00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:51,680 Speaker 5: and even the playoffs, how much credit does Sam Desert. 204 00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:55,920 Speaker 11: Well, you know, it's funny you say that because normally 205 00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:58,840 Speaker 11: we talk about the quarterback as being the key to everything. 206 00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:01,920 Speaker 11: Now I thought what Donald did in that game is 207 00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:05,600 Speaker 11: he played that game the way it was demanded to 208 00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:08,160 Speaker 11: be played, given the way their defense played. 209 00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:10,679 Speaker 9: And now I was actually surprised. 210 00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:12,920 Speaker 11: I was there in the stadium watching the game, and 211 00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:15,400 Speaker 11: then of course I watched the tape yesterday. I was 212 00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:18,400 Speaker 11: truly surprised when I saw that he had forty dropbacks 213 00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:21,200 Speaker 11: because the game didn't really play out that way because 214 00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:23,360 Speaker 11: they ran the ball really well. They ran a lot 215 00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:25,760 Speaker 11: of plays. They controlled the ball for thirty three minutes. 216 00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:28,120 Speaker 11: Even though they weren't great on third down, they still 217 00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:32,000 Speaker 11: controlled the ball. And I thought Donald played that game 218 00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:34,199 Speaker 11: the way it was demanded to be played. He missed 219 00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:36,840 Speaker 11: a few colin as you know, when he just missed, 220 00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:39,680 Speaker 11: and that would have probably made it even more of 221 00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:41,360 Speaker 11: a route if he hit those throws. 222 00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:42,640 Speaker 1: But there were. 223 00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:45,959 Speaker 11: Times where he clearly felt it wasn't clean, it was muddy. 224 00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:48,760 Speaker 9: Then he checked it down. He obviously had that scramble on. 225 00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:52,040 Speaker 11: I think it was the first third quarter drive he 226 00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:54,280 Speaker 11: played really a fishing football. 227 00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:56,800 Speaker 9: I think it was. It might have been Matt Hasselbeck. 228 00:10:56,920 --> 00:11:00,960 Speaker 11: I can't remember, but the term as opposed to game manager, 229 00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:03,600 Speaker 11: which has a negative pejorative term, and I think the 230 00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:06,440 Speaker 11: term that Matt used was game commander, which I think 231 00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:09,760 Speaker 11: is such a better way to talk about a quarterback 232 00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:12,480 Speaker 11: that you know, and Tom Brady talks about this all 233 00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:15,079 Speaker 11: the time. You play the game the way the game 234 00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:17,920 Speaker 11: demands that you play it. It's not about putting up 235 00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:20,720 Speaker 11: the big stats. He played that game the right way. 236 00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:24,680 Speaker 5: Drake may set an NFL Super Bowl record for passing 237 00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:27,120 Speaker 5: yards in a quarter. So that's all you need to know, 238 00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:29,200 Speaker 5: because he was throwing the ball in the fourth quarter 239 00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:29,880 Speaker 5: non stops. 240 00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:30,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, you got to. 241 00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:32,480 Speaker 5: Get out of the stat now. I got to ask 242 00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:34,760 Speaker 5: you about Kenneth Walker. He's got such a unique style. 243 00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:36,360 Speaker 5: I think we both like him. I liked him at 244 00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:38,960 Speaker 5: Michigan state. He's a guy that breaks a lot of tackles. 245 00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:42,199 Speaker 5: He is so thick the idea of a corner coming 246 00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:45,800 Speaker 5: up and bringing him down by themselves. You know, maybe 247 00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:47,840 Speaker 5: his own teammate, Devin Witherspoon could do it. 248 00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:51,920 Speaker 1: Most corners couldn't. What do you make of his effectiveness? Yeah, well, 249 00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:52,920 Speaker 1: you know what surprised me. 250 00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:55,280 Speaker 11: We talked about this last week leading up to the game, 251 00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:58,120 Speaker 11: and I was surprised that he was able to get 252 00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:00,920 Speaker 11: to the edge as much as he did against that 253 00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:04,880 Speaker 11: Patriots defense. They are really good running out of multiple 254 00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:08,600 Speaker 11: tight end personnel. That's really their foundation. Twenty one of 255 00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:11,400 Speaker 11: his twenty seven carries came out of either twelve or 256 00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:14,800 Speaker 11: thirteen personnel, meeting two tight ends or three tight ends. 257 00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:18,320 Speaker 11: But I was truly surprised with him getting to the edge. 258 00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:20,040 Speaker 9: I thought, with a Mike Rabel. 259 00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:23,720 Speaker 11: Defense and certainly Vrabel being coached by Belichick, where setting 260 00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:28,280 Speaker 11: the edge was really a constant theme, that's something truly 261 00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:30,640 Speaker 11: that surprised me. But I thought that Walker in this 262 00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:36,120 Speaker 11: game ran with sort of calculated patients. I mean, when 263 00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:38,720 Speaker 11: you run with patients, what you do is you manipulate 264 00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:41,400 Speaker 11: second level defenders, and I thought he did a really 265 00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:43,720 Speaker 11: good job of that, and then of course he certainly 266 00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:46,160 Speaker 11: has the burst when he saw the whole There were 267 00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:49,320 Speaker 11: times watching the tape where I thought of Leveon Bell 268 00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:52,760 Speaker 11: with how patient he was. Don't normally see that, and 269 00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:55,240 Speaker 11: certainly not from Kenneth Walker, who always looks to get 270 00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:55,960 Speaker 11: to the perimeter. 271 00:12:56,800 --> 00:12:57,640 Speaker 1: Yeah, the. 272 00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:02,439 Speaker 5: New England pretty good job until they got tired and 273 00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:05,800 Speaker 5: their tackling regressed. New England did a pretty good job 274 00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:10,160 Speaker 5: to slow down Seattle's offense for a while. What was 275 00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:12,119 Speaker 5: their secret sauce or was it just personnel? 276 00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:13,680 Speaker 1: Yeah? 277 00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:16,160 Speaker 11: No, I think that that's an overlooked element of the game. 278 00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:19,200 Speaker 11: I thought that the defense for the Patriots actually played 279 00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:23,600 Speaker 11: exceptionally well. I mean, obviously Walker had that thirty yard 280 00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:26,040 Speaker 11: run in twenty nine yard run back to back, But 281 00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:28,920 Speaker 11: for the most part, you know, I thought the Patriots 282 00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:32,000 Speaker 11: defense played well. Now, as I said, Darnold missed a 283 00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:34,200 Speaker 11: few and that would have changed the whole feel about 284 00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:34,679 Speaker 11: the game. 285 00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:35,720 Speaker 5: You know. 286 00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:39,320 Speaker 11: Obviously just underthrew o Shaheed on a vertical rode a 287 00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:42,080 Speaker 11: post route that Gonzalez was able to get his hands on. 288 00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:46,080 Speaker 11: He threw he had Smith and Jigba and that sort 289 00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:48,280 Speaker 11: of bang eight that would have been a touchdown if 290 00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:51,239 Speaker 11: he laid it out in front of him Street. 291 00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:51,920 Speaker 1: Two ball behind him. 292 00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:55,319 Speaker 11: Yep, yeah, yeah, so that would have changed our conversation. 293 00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:57,720 Speaker 11: But for the most part, they played well. I thought 294 00:13:57,720 --> 00:14:01,040 Speaker 11: the safety, the rookie safety, would say he was all 295 00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:03,679 Speaker 11: over the tape. He played a really, really good game. 296 00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:06,880 Speaker 11: But you know, it was a close game. Obviously, when 297 00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:09,360 Speaker 11: it got to me nineteen seven and New England got 298 00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:11,160 Speaker 11: the ball, I'm not saying you thought they were going 299 00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:13,240 Speaker 11: to win, but for a moment there, you're thinking, oh, 300 00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:15,000 Speaker 11: we might have a ballgame here. 301 00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:18,280 Speaker 5: You know, Chris Collins were set at halftime, he and Tarico. 302 00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:20,400 Speaker 5: When they came back for the start of the second half, 303 00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:23,040 Speaker 5: you know, Collins were just laid it out. He goes, yeah, 304 00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:26,440 Speaker 5: Drake's not He's not ready, Like this is this right now? 305 00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:28,200 Speaker 1: Feels too big for him. Now. 306 00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:31,880 Speaker 5: Some of that's the pass protection, but he did. Look, 307 00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:35,359 Speaker 5: you know what happens when you speed up young quarterbacks. 308 00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:37,440 Speaker 1: That's what accuracy dips. 309 00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:39,000 Speaker 5: Was It just a matter of he just didn't want 310 00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:40,320 Speaker 5: to get out what he wants trying to get rid 311 00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:41,440 Speaker 5: of the ball. 312 00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:44,840 Speaker 11: No being in the stadium, the first thing I noticed, Okay, 313 00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:48,120 Speaker 11: was was the pressure packages that Seattle started the game with. 314 00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:51,480 Speaker 11: They are not a high percentage blitz defense. In fact, 315 00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:54,280 Speaker 11: they were one of the lower percentage blitz defenses, but 316 00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:57,720 Speaker 11: they started the game on third downs with pressure. 317 00:14:57,960 --> 00:14:58,600 Speaker 1: Now then they. 318 00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:00,880 Speaker 11: Backed off the pressure because they they only rushed five 319 00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:03,520 Speaker 11: or more on eight of May's fifty three dropbacks. It 320 00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:06,280 Speaker 11: might have seemed like more watching the game because they 321 00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:09,640 Speaker 11: started with pressure. And what they did a phenomenal job 322 00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:13,000 Speaker 11: of Colin is you can dictate pass protection by what 323 00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:16,280 Speaker 11: how you align your defensive front and they did such 324 00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:18,440 Speaker 11: a good job of that. They lined up with a 325 00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:22,080 Speaker 11: lot of five man fronts, six man fronts. That dictates 326 00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:24,600 Speaker 11: how you have to pass protect. And then once you 327 00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:27,240 Speaker 11: know how they have to protect, then you can bring 328 00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:30,800 Speaker 11: someone and it was Witherspoon, who's not accounted for. So 329 00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:33,440 Speaker 11: they did such a really good job with that early 330 00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:35,800 Speaker 11: in the game, and they got Drake May sort of 331 00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:38,400 Speaker 11: playing fast.

That's why I try 504 00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:51,159 Speaker 7: to get to the ballpark kind of early, so I 505 00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:54,800 Speaker 7: can go to the bullpen and just listen and watch 506 00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:57,680 Speaker 7: as the glove can just get popped. 507 00:23:57,359 --> 00:23:58,960 Speaker 4: Over and over and over again. 508 00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:00,880 Speaker 16: No better sand the ballpark. 509 00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:05,359 Speaker 4: Yeah, that's one of the things that I haven't been 510 00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:07,520 Speaker 4: able to do. I used to love getting the ballpark 511 00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:10,719 Speaker 4: really early and just going in and just sitting there 512 00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:13,399 Speaker 4: and watching batting practice. And I've been able to do 513 00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:15,439 Speaker 4: that in a long time. Yeah, So I might have 514 00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:19,400 Speaker 4: to do like a Saturday day game or something, sad 515 00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:24,679 Speaker 4: Saturday Day game or something and get there early. That 516 00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:28,000 Speaker 4: and I missed. I miss going to Sunday afternoon games. 517 00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:30,399 Speaker 4: I don't get to go to those anymore because of 518 00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:33,240 Speaker 4: I do extra innings on sundayscha, But like the one 519 00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:34,440 Speaker 4: thirty Sunday game. 520 00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:38,199 Speaker 9: Yeah, man, nothing better past the tissues. 521 00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:42,960 Speaker 4: We've all got issues, is right. Can you believe it's 522 00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:44,480 Speaker 4: been four years. 523 00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:46,800 Speaker 20: Since the Bengals have played in the Super Bowl? 524 00:24:47,080 --> 00:24:49,000 Speaker 1: You playing in four years goes fin? 525 00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:52,920 Speaker 4: I agree. I need you guys to rank. 526 00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:56,359 Speaker 20: Rank them following one time losing Super Bowl quarterbacks in 527 00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:59,440 Speaker 20: the likelihood of their return to the Super Bowl, Joe Burrow, 528 00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:05,520 Speaker 20: Jared Gough, Rock Party, Drake May, Rex Grossman, Jared Goff. 529 00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:08,520 Speaker 4: And he gave Golf twice. Yeah, that's a lot the 530 00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:10,840 Speaker 4: likelihood that they return. I'm gonna have to put Rex 531 00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:13,399 Speaker 4: Grossman at the bottom. Yep, I think he's out, and 532 00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:17,679 Speaker 4: then I'm gonna put Drake May, followed by Jared Goff, 533 00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:21,560 Speaker 4: and then at the most likely to return would be 534 00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:24,480 Speaker 4: Brock Party and Joe Burrow. Well, I'm gonna put Burrow 535 00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:29,000 Speaker 4: at number two at the moment because just because I 536 00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:33,040 Speaker 4: think that Brock Party has a competent organization and I 537 00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:34,720 Speaker 4: don't think the Bengals. 538 00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:36,440 Speaker 9: Well May has a competent one. 539 00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:38,600 Speaker 4: I don't believe in Drake May as a player. 540 00:25:39,119 --> 00:25:43,200 Speaker 9: Jared Goff has a competent one. I would Borrow Golf, 541 00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:48,600 Speaker 9: Party May interesting. I think Party. I think if you 542 00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:53,480 Speaker 9: rank him as who's the best, it would be Burrow, Party, 543 00:25:54,200 --> 00:25:58,480 Speaker 9: Golf May. I think if you rank them based off 544 00:25:58,520 --> 00:26:02,440 Speaker 9: of like their supporting and like the full organization top 545 00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:06,200 Speaker 9: to bottom, it would probably be pretty at the top. Nice. 546 00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:10,560 Speaker 6: Yeah, I meant to leave a talk back earlier, but 547 00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:14,399 Speaker 6: I was finishing my lunch. Little top sirloin and chicken wings. 548 00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:18,159 Speaker 6: Oh my question. If the Bengals are targeting Caleb Downs 549 00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:21,080 Speaker 6: at ten and he goes at nine, who are they 550 00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:23,119 Speaker 6: pivoting to with three minutes or less. 551 00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:25,800 Speaker 4: It's impossible to answer that question. We don't know who 552 00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:26,680 Speaker 4: else is available. 553 00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:31,159 Speaker 9: Yeah, I am. I'll say this, and we could talk 554 00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:34,400 Speaker 9: about this in hour three as well. I often look 555 00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:37,640 Speaker 9: at different mock drafts, not only on Mondays but throughout 556 00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:40,439 Speaker 9: the week, and I have friends and family members that 557 00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:42,280 Speaker 9: do as well. And I had a family member today 558 00:26:42,359 --> 00:26:45,679 Speaker 9: said I don't know how I feel about O line 559 00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:49,000 Speaker 9: at ten, because it's what a good organization would do. 560 00:26:50,359 --> 00:26:52,399 Speaker 9: But they're in such a whole defensively that if you 561 00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:54,760 Speaker 9: don't get a defensive starter in round one, it feels 562 00:26:54,760 --> 00:26:58,600 Speaker 9: like a mistake. Yet all of these mock drafts will 563 00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:02,320 Speaker 9: still point out offensive line and it's quite the conundrum. 564 00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:05,160 Speaker 4: Which is why I said both on here. I said 565 00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:07,760 Speaker 4: it on my podcast today as well. If you get 566 00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:12,240 Speaker 4: three starters in free agency, that clears the board for you, 567 00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:16,399 Speaker 4: because you don't get top ten offensive linemen very often 568 00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:17,520 Speaker 4: takes a little pressure off. 569 00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:23,480 Speaker 21: Correct if man up man Leroy down here in Folmouth 570 00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:28,600 Speaker 21: and I was thinking, do you think that Tito when 571 00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:32,800 Speaker 21: he had his interview with Lance during reds Fest, that 572 00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:36,960 Speaker 21: he was purposely dropping the we can't store. 573 00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:40,640 Speaker 9: Runs type of thing to light a fire. 574 00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:44,600 Speaker 21: Because after Jim Day's interview with him, it seemed like 575 00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:45,480 Speaker 21: he was all good. 576 00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:49,280 Speaker 4: He's all good at what you think on that posturing 577 00:27:49,280 --> 00:27:51,360 Speaker 4: a little bit. That was one of the funniest interviews 578 00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:54,119 Speaker 4: I've seen him do. Uh, the one he did with 579 00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:58,360 Speaker 4: Jim Day last night on the Hot Stove League. Yeah, 580 00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:01,800 Speaker 4: maybe posturing. I liked that idea. I like the idea 581 00:28:01,800 --> 00:28:07,480 Speaker 4: of putting pressure on the organization. But again, Terry Francone 582 00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:09,919 Speaker 4: is a smart guy. He signed up to be with 583 00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:17,160 Speaker 4: this club and he knows their reputation and their history 584 00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:19,920 Speaker 4: and it's not a good one. Yeah, so he chose 585 00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:22,480 Speaker 4: to be here. So sometimes you make your bed, you 586 00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:23,159 Speaker 4: gotta lay in it. 587 00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:28,520 Speaker 9: Tony Austen Ryan, Yeah, my winter sport would be the skeleton. 588 00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:31,320 Speaker 4: You're on a lose. 589 00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:33,600 Speaker 9: Going face first line on the stomach, going down that 590 00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:35,240 Speaker 9: ice baby about eighty. 591 00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:40,920 Speaker 4: Hell yeah, yeah, all right, it's pretty simple right there. 592 00:28:40,920 --> 00:28:42,680 Speaker 4: All right, that makes a lot of talk. 593 00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:44,479 Speaker 9: In the snow. You heard that snow popping? 594 00:28:44,680 --> 00:28:47,840 Speaker 4: Yeah, all right, that was our last one. 595 00:28:48,360 --> 00:28:52,760 Speaker 9: These these FC Cincinnati Seven Hills kits are fire. 596 00:28:52,880 --> 00:28:55,240 Speaker 4: They're sick, aren't they. Let's put the bad signal out 597 00:28:55,280 --> 00:28:57,160 Speaker 4: to Tommy G. We need to update our kids. We 598 00:28:57,200 --> 00:28:59,160 Speaker 4: got to ask Tommy can we wear those? Are we 599 00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:02,720 Speaker 4: allowed to wear those home? Is I like a little 600 00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:04,160 Speaker 4: white at home every once in a while. 601 00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:06,120 Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean Pike and l Money on the back 602 00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:07,480 Speaker 9: of one of those things would look great. 603 00:29:10,800 --> 00:29:12,760 Speaker 4: I don't know if that's I think that's still an 604 00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:18,280 Speaker 4: inside joke, but yeah, I'm looking forward to the MLS season. Yeah. 605 00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:20,840 Speaker 9: I was looking at the FC Cincinnati dot com and 606 00:29:21,080 --> 00:29:22,240 Speaker 9: they have pictures of these kids. 607 00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:25,040 Speaker 4: These kits are They're fire.

Yeah, and last night I 643 00:31:16,880 --> 00:31:20,160 Speaker 9: thought of a topic like what was the what was 644 00:31:20,160 --> 00:31:22,000 Speaker 9: the show on ESPN they did, We're at the end 645 00:31:22,040 --> 00:31:23,760 Speaker 9: of the show, they would do like the airs that 646 00:31:23,800 --> 00:31:24,920 Speaker 9: they made during the second. 647 00:31:25,360 --> 00:31:29,280 Speaker 4: I thought, Cincinnati reads fans and haters. 648 00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:36,360 Speaker 9: I thought going forward that we just jot down points 649 00:31:36,400 --> 00:31:39,160 Speaker 9: made by the other person Monday through Monday through Thursday, 650 00:31:40,200 --> 00:31:42,240 Speaker 9: and if it's something you don't agree with or something 651 00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:44,920 Speaker 9: you want to push back on, that Friday becomes the 652 00:31:44,960 --> 00:31:47,960 Speaker 9: day where we can kind of air these grievances. Because 653 00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:52,479 Speaker 9: you said something in response to my Nick Castiano's thing 654 00:31:52,560 --> 00:31:56,560 Speaker 9: yesterday and I didn't catch it the first time. I 655 00:31:56,600 --> 00:32:00,600 Speaker 9: caught it the second time. You you used the term 656 00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:03,640 Speaker 9: ascending player and attached Will Benson to that. 657 00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:06,240 Speaker 4: Still, yeah, I felt like you said Will. 658 00:32:05,960 --> 00:32:09,040 Speaker 9: Benson is still ascending while Nick Castianos is not. And 659 00:32:09,080 --> 00:32:11,479 Speaker 9: that would be like the perfect type of thing that 660 00:32:11,520 --> 00:32:13,800 Speaker 9: I would jot down in the moment and then call 661 00:32:13,840 --> 00:32:14,960 Speaker 9: you out on on Friday for. 662 00:32:15,080 --> 00:32:17,200 Speaker 4: I mean, and I'm ready to fight back on that 663 00:32:17,400 --> 00:32:20,920 Speaker 4: because I have the data that would suggest that Will 664 00:32:20,960 --> 00:32:24,000 Speaker 4: Benson is ascending. All you got to do is go 665 00:32:24,040 --> 00:32:28,480 Speaker 4: to his Baseball Savant page talking about HMLB percentile rankings, 666 00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:32,080 Speaker 4: because apparently he's in the doghouse for Terry Francona. I 667 00:32:32,080 --> 00:32:33,920 Speaker 4: don't understand it.
