Speaker 1: nine and three, and now the Dolphins gotta be the

13
00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:56,320
Speaker 1: Niners to match them. Where the Bills are back in

14
00:00:56,400 --> 00:00:59,480
Speaker 1: first place and the Patriots go back to the five

15
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:03,000
Speaker 1: arc six and six. We will dive into a lot

16
00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:05,560
Speaker 1: of football, a lot of stuff going on. Obviously, I'll

17
00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:08,760
Speaker 1: hit on the game right off the bat. Uh, some

18
00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:12,800
Speaker 1: thoughts on Niners, Dolphins, Chiefs, Bangles as you can tell them.

19
00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:16,120
Speaker 1: I'm battling little something colds out of retirement and it's

20
00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:19,119
Speaker 1: got my throat. But we don't tap out around here.

Speaker 1: your question answer here on the mail bag again for

27
00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:42,480
Speaker 1: all you Spotify guys means a lot to me. All

28
00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:45,560
Speaker 1: you guys sending me d M s really cool. This

29
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:47,920
Speaker 1: would not exist without you. It would just be me

30
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:50,200
Speaker 1: talking to the wall, no one listening. So maybe it would,

31
00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:52,400
Speaker 1: but it's a lot better with you guys around. Let's

32
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:57,280
Speaker 1: dive into football. You know what's funny is for two

33
00:01:57,320 --> 00:02:02,000
Speaker 1: decades Belichick had this guy from Sarah High School named

34
00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:06,160
Speaker 1: Thomas Brady and beat the living piss out of the

35
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:10,359
Speaker 1: a f C. East. He kicked everyone's ass. I mean, hell,

36
00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:14,040
Speaker 1: he hasn't even lost the Jets in like eight years,

37
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:18,000
Speaker 1: and that includes Cam Newton and Mac Jones. But the

38
00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:21,680
Speaker 1: tides have flipped and I think tonight last time I checked, well,

39
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:24,400
Speaker 1: I guess they knelt the ball. So the stats, if

40
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:27,000
Speaker 1: you didn't watch the game and you just clicked on

41
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:31,720
Speaker 1: the box score, you'd go DoD Mac Jones and Josh

42
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:36,440
Speaker 1: Allen's numbers look relatively similar. Both completed twenty two balls,

43
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:40,119
Speaker 1: no interceptions. Josh threw a couple of touchdowns, Mac only

44
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:43,680
Speaker 1: through one, but you'd go, couldn't you know they didn't

45
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 1: throw you know, yards per attempt? Not that crazy, but

46
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:50,600
Speaker 1: when you watch the game, the gap was as wide

47
00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:55,680
Speaker 1: as the Grand Canyon, and obviously Belichick and even Tom

48
00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:59,119
Speaker 1: benefited from the a f C East for the most part,

49
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:02,400
Speaker 1: was pretty bad. Of those twenty years. Now it's really good, right,

50
00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:05,639
Speaker 1: I mean, it's there's a decent chance. I'd say there's

51
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:07,560
Speaker 1: a very good chance they get three teams in the playoffs.

52
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:11,040
Speaker 1: So anytime you do that, especially if you know honestly

53
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:12,880
Speaker 1: one of the teams, they're gonna be the fifth and

54
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:15,400
Speaker 1: the sixth seed. So it's not like the seventh seed

55
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:16,880
Speaker 1: that we've just added a couple of years. I guess

56
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:21,680
Speaker 1: last year. Uh, that's impressive. But the Bills now have

57
00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:25,920
Speaker 1: Josh Allen like tonight, that's their trump card. Now. Obviously

58
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:30,320
Speaker 1: they're more talented than the Patriots, but not that much

59
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:34,120
Speaker 1: more talented than the Patriots. It's the quarterback and the

60
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:37,480
Speaker 1: difference between Josh Allen and Mac Jones from just the

61
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:40,880
Speaker 1: eye test is like watching a star quarterback and watching

62
00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:42,680
Speaker 1: a guy that's his average of the day is long.

63
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:46,840
Speaker 1: Josh is fantastic as someone that just loves football. And

64
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:49,920
Speaker 1: I say it all the time. I watched Pro sports

65
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:53,760
Speaker 1: for the stars. I don't watch it for the overachievers,

66
00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:57,200
Speaker 1: for the undrafted free agents, for for the dude that

67
00:03:57,240 --> 00:03:59,520
Speaker 1: was in the minor leagues for ten years and finally

68
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:01,320
Speaker 1: makes it the big leagues. I don't give a shit

69
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:04,520
Speaker 1: about any of those guys. I watched for Steph Curry,

70
00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:08,880
Speaker 1: Josh Allen, Michael Jordan, and Tiger Woods. That's what draws me.

71
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:12,760
Speaker 1: Belichick and Tom Brady and now Josh Allen. I mean,

72
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:15,760
Speaker 1: that guy is so fun to watch, even the one

73
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:18,800
Speaker 1: past they got called back on a touchdown to Digs.

74
00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:24,320
Speaker 1: His ability to just make jaw dropping place is pretty

75
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:27,080
Speaker 1: freaking awesome. And if you just like sports, even if

76
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:30,080
Speaker 1: you don't like the Bills, he is an easy watch.

77
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:34,080
Speaker 1: He is a fun watch. He is a spectacular talents.

78
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:39,400
Speaker 1: I mean, it is stupid how gifted this individual is

79
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:41,840
Speaker 1: and how far the guy has come in a pretty

80
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:44,400
Speaker 1: short period of time. Remember the knock on him out

81
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:47,679
Speaker 1: of Wyoming, and trust me, I was as anti Josh

82
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:50,680
Speaker 1: Allen as anyone. This guy can't hit water if he

83
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:52,000
Speaker 1: was sitting in the boat in the middle of the

84
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:54,760
Speaker 1: ocean and he couldn't. Balls were all over the place.

85
00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:57,480
Speaker 1: And I'll never forget I had a buddy who I

86
00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:01,640
Speaker 1: bet my everything I own. He's gonna be a GM

87
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:04,360
Speaker 1: in the in the league. He's he's an assistant basically

88
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:05,960
Speaker 1: GM on one of the best teams in the league.

89
00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:07,840
Speaker 1: And he told me, Man, I think you're a little

90
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:11,080
Speaker 1: hard on Josh. I like him a lot. He believed

91
00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:12,960
Speaker 1: in him, and part of the reason was and his

92
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:16,760
Speaker 1: team is full of this now high character wants it bad.

93
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:20,080
Speaker 1: We'll give anything to be great. Now, I was like, yeah,

94
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:23,800
Speaker 1: but what if he can't complete passes? And clearly, when

95
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:25,800
Speaker 1: you have the character of the drive and all the

96
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:29,479
Speaker 1: intangible stuff, you have a shot. Now he's maximized it

97
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:33,560
Speaker 1: to the nth degree. But what we're witnessing right now.

98
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:35,640
Speaker 1: The other thing that hit me is like, do you

99
00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:38,720
Speaker 1: know what's fun about a quarterback? And when he gets

100
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:41,120
Speaker 1: the right wide receiver, you don't want you know, if

101
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:43,000
Speaker 1: you're in a relationship or you got a buddy in

102
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:44,760
Speaker 1: a relationship and it's like, God, these guys are in

103
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:47,520
Speaker 1: the love that they are just meant for each other.

104
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:49,960
Speaker 1: It's just perfect. I think it's kind of like that

105
00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:52,520
Speaker 1: with like a quarterback and a wide receiver when it

106
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:56,520
Speaker 1: is just it just pops. It just works. You know.

107
00:05:56,560 --> 00:06:01,000
Speaker 1: You're like Tyree Hill and Mahomes, I was like made

108
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:04,760
Speaker 1: in football heaven, And honestly he's transitioned. He's at Travis Kelsey,

109
00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:08,840
Speaker 1: same thing. But like you watch Stefon Diggs and Josh Allen,

110
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:13,719
Speaker 1: You're like, this is perfect. Their skill sets one. Josh

111
00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:15,920
Speaker 1: can be I guess a little inaccurate sometimes on the

112
00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:18,839
Speaker 1: short stuff. Dicks catches everything. And then his ability to

113
00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:21,560
Speaker 1: make plays down the field a little like Tyreek and

114
00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:24,040
Speaker 1: and Mahomes just let a rip, He'll go up there

115
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:27,080
Speaker 1: and make him play. And Diggs who I was. I

116
00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:29,080
Speaker 1: wouldn't say it was on the fence on because I

117
00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:32,280
Speaker 1: always thought he was a fantastic player in Minnesota. But

118
00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:34,800
Speaker 1: I never understood why I was always so mad. I'm like, bro,

119
00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:37,080
Speaker 1: you guys are winning in Minnesota. Your team is good, Like,

120
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:39,400
Speaker 1: why don't you want to be there? And listen? Maybe

121
00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:41,200
Speaker 1: he just wanted out of Kirk Cousins business. And I've

122
00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:43,479
Speaker 1: always said it's one of the great draft pick for

123
00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:45,760
Speaker 1: player trades in the history of the the league. Twenty two

124
00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:48,440
Speaker 1: straight up for Dicks, they get Justin Jefferson. I mean,

125
00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:50,760
Speaker 1: it's it's got to be one of the greatest win

126
00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:54,040
Speaker 1: win trades in the history of sports. And you watch

127
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:57,520
Speaker 1: Josh Allen and you watch Stefon Diggs, it's like, if

128
00:06:57,520 --> 00:06:59,920
Speaker 1: they were a couple, you'd be like, they are happy

129
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:02,800
Speaker 1: be married. That that that just works, that that that

130
00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:05,000
Speaker 1: couple was meant to be together. And when I watched

131
00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:07,920
Speaker 1: Diggs and Josh Allen play, you just go, damn man,

132
00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:10,800
Speaker 1: that that just works. That is a fun watch. And

133
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:15,360
Speaker 1: on the flip side, it's like, who is stunned? Listen,

134
00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:17,320
Speaker 1: I think Belichick is the best coach of all time.

135
00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:19,160
Speaker 1: You can say, well, yeah, Thomas Brady, I don't give

136
00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:22,760
Speaker 1: a shit. I watched Belichick my entire basically from eighteen

137
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:25,640
Speaker 1: years old on beat the living piss out of everybody.

138
00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:29,360
Speaker 1: Coach circles around everybody, do things that no one else

139
00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:33,040
Speaker 1: was doing. Obviously he benefited from Tom Phil Jackson doesn't

140
00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:35,440
Speaker 1: win ship if he doesn't have Kobe or Michael. Jordan's

141
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:39,320
Speaker 1: great coaches need great players. Bill Walsh had Joe Montana like,

142
00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:42,120
Speaker 1: you can't do it on your own. So I'm not

143
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:46,240
Speaker 1: gonna just diminish Bill Belichick what he accomplished. But today, like,

144
00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:48,800
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, and I questioned it from the off season.

145
00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:53,800
Speaker 1: You named Matt Patricia your offensive coordinator, a lifetime defensive coach.

146
00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:57,960
Speaker 1: You named Joe Judge a special teams coach, your quarterback coach,

147
00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:02,120
Speaker 1: to go along with Matt Owns, a physically limited guy.

148
00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:05,640
Speaker 1: It never made any sense to me. It was destined

149
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:08,280
Speaker 1: to fail. Now, I thought they were gonna be like

150
00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:11,320
Speaker 1: a four win team. I underestimated Bill there they'll end

151
00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:13,480
Speaker 1: up like eight nine, nine and eight. But it's an

152
00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:16,160
Speaker 1: ugly eight nine, nine and eight, just because they have

153
00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:18,880
Speaker 1: to win low scoring games and they have to run

154
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:21,040
Speaker 1: the ball for like a hundred plus yards to even

155
00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:24,200
Speaker 1: have a chance. And when I watched tonight and I

156
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:28,520
Speaker 1: went number one, Mac Jones one of his biggest downfalls.

157
00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:32,720
Speaker 1: He doesn't know who he is. Like, Mac, you're closer

158
00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:35,920
Speaker 1: to like Matt Shob than you are Josh Allen and

159
00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:40,400
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes. Why are you running around constantly trying to

160
00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:45,000
Speaker 1: make these extraordinary plays like you're like some mahomes Lamar

161
00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:48,120
Speaker 1: Jackson mix. That ain't your game, bro, and if you

162
00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:50,959
Speaker 1: do that, you will fail. And you saw to night

163
00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:54,120
Speaker 1: he threw a pick. Ultimately it wasn't because whatever these

164
00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:56,920
Speaker 1: stupid catch rules are. But it's like, why are you

165
00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:59,280
Speaker 1: trying to pull these plays out of your ass? You

166
00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:01,440
Speaker 1: know what, Belichick had a front row seat for for

167
00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:04,880
Speaker 1: twenty years, a quarterback that could not move and who's

168
00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:09,280
Speaker 1: universally regarded as the best quarterback of all time. He

169
00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:11,560
Speaker 1: couldn't move at all. I mean he ran like a

170
00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:14,439
Speaker 1: five to forty at the forty at the combine. Tom

171
00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:19,280
Speaker 1: Brady knew his limitations. Most of the great pocket quarterbacks do. Now.

172
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:22,120
Speaker 1: Mac is a better athlete than Tom Brady, but he's

173
00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:24,080
Speaker 1: not a good enough athlete and he definitely doesn't have

174
00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:26,440
Speaker 1: a good enough arm to just try to make these

175
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:29,960
Speaker 1: miraculous plays. He reminds me like Russell Wilson or like

176
00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:34,480
Speaker 1: DeShawn Watson pre massage therapist trying to like scramble the left,

177
00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:36,840
Speaker 1: scramble the right and make these throws, Like, bro, what

178
00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:39,520
Speaker 1: are you doing? And then I think, well, he didn't

179
00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:41,839
Speaker 1: really do that last year. Why say what you want

180
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:43,800
Speaker 1: about this guy? And trust me, I've said some things,

181
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:46,520
Speaker 1: but Josh from Daniels a really good offensive coordinator. Now

182
00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:49,719
Speaker 1: he's got Matt Patricia and Joe Judge coaching him and

183
00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:52,199
Speaker 1: it ain't working. Now you can argue their talent on

184
00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:55,720
Speaker 1: offense isn't great. I agree, but they definitely scheming. I mean,

185
00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:57,840
Speaker 1: they pulled up one play out of their butt tonight

186
00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:02,559
Speaker 1: with the corner slash returner uh Jones number who had

187
00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:05,360
Speaker 1: the game winning punt return. Sweet little play. But if

188
00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:08,520
Speaker 1: they're not running some gimmicky play, they can't score. If

189
00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:10,880
Speaker 1: they're not running the ball down your throat, and if

190
00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:13,120
Speaker 1: the wind isn't going ninety miles an hour like it

191
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:15,520
Speaker 1: was last year in Buffalo, they're not gonna do that

192
00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:19,959
Speaker 1: to the Bills. And Matt Patricia and Joe Judge certainly

193
00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:25,000
Speaker 1: aren't gonna outthink and outcoach most defensive staffs in the league.

194
00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:28,280
Speaker 1: Why because one's a defensive coordinator at trade and the

195
00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:31,560
Speaker 1: other guy's a special teams coach. So it's just an

196
00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:35,760
Speaker 1: absolute debacle on offense. And ultimately everything falls under the

197
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:38,960
Speaker 1: Belichick umbrella when it comes to the New England Patriots,

198
00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:41,920
Speaker 1: because when it comes to the football team, he does everything.

199
00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:45,560
Speaker 1: He chose these guys, they're his guys. He also drafted

200
00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:49,040
Speaker 1: Mac Jones, which I have no problem mac Jones, and

201
00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:51,679
Speaker 1: like the third round mac Jones a picked fifteen. I mean,

202
00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:54,839
Speaker 1: that's that's just absurd. And I'm not saying that hindsight now.

203
00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:57,800
Speaker 1: I set it from the jump. I thought, no and no,

204
00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:02,080
Speaker 1: besides the previous last five years, there's not a year

205
00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:04,200
Speaker 1: in history that Mac Jones the first round pick. But

206
00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:07,360
Speaker 1: quarterback inflation. It is what it is. And the Patriots

207
00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:10,480
Speaker 1: offense is an absolute debacle. And I'm gonna end on this.

208
00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:16,040
Speaker 1: Patrick Peterson said some stuff on his podcast that he

209
00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:18,360
Speaker 1: does with I think his former teammate McFadden, who played

210
00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:20,800
Speaker 1: for the Steelers played for the Cardinals, about Kyler Murray

211
00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:23,720
Speaker 1: and basically just said Kyler Murray just cares about Kyler Murray.

212
00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:27,000
Speaker 1: And then Kyler Murray gets on Twitter and you know,

213
00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:30,040
Speaker 1: chimes back basically like I thought you were my mentor,

214
00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:33,000
Speaker 1: a big bro. Why can't you just hit me up?

215
00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:36,520
Speaker 1: And it's pretty simple. When I don't like or respect you,

216
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:39,640
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna give you the time to hit you up.

217
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:42,360
Speaker 1: Part of being a good teammate in the NFL, especially

218
00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:45,320
Speaker 1: a veteran guy, high character guy like Patrick Peterson when

219
00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:48,000
Speaker 1: Kyler got there, Patrick Peterson been there almost a decade,

220
00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:50,920
Speaker 1: all pro guy, but really like team captain level guy,

221
00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:54,160
Speaker 1: like the Larry Fitzgerald of their defense. You treat people

222
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:57,480
Speaker 1: well whether you like or dislike them. There's a role

223
00:11:57,559 --> 00:11:59,559
Speaker 1: you play on the team, especially when it comes to

224
00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:01,840
Speaker 1: the number one overall pick. So you're not gonna treat

225
00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:04,560
Speaker 1: that guy bad. But you can also judge the guy.

226
00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:07,400
Speaker 1: And I had heard stories from other players on the

227
00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:10,079
Speaker 1: team who now are no longer on the team, who

228
00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:12,640
Speaker 1: are considered some of the highest character in league history.

229
00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:15,640
Speaker 1: That's not the same thing about the guy. These people

230
00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:18,760
Speaker 1: are not making this up. So when Kyler is unsure

231
00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:22,280
Speaker 1: why Patrick Peterson would just say this without telling him

232
00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:26,160
Speaker 1: because he doesn't like you, he never did. But part

233
00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:28,200
Speaker 1: of being a teammate is sometimes you gotta fake it

234
00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:30,120
Speaker 1: when you're not a teammate. And this is the cool

235
00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:32,840
Speaker 1: part about some of these players having a podcast is

236
00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:35,880
Speaker 1: their willingness, And honestly it's not even that controversial. Like

237
00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:38,360
Speaker 1: one of the things those guys said is after the game,

238
00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:41,679
Speaker 1: he didn't just drive the bus over Cliff Kingsbury, he

239
00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:44,360
Speaker 1: threw the bus on him, lit it on fire, threw

240
00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:46,600
Speaker 1: some dynamite in there, and blew the fucking thing up

241
00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:49,520
Speaker 1: all over the guy. It's like, Kyler, your character has

242
00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:52,280
Speaker 1: been on full display, not just for your teammates like

243
00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:55,080
Speaker 1: Patrick Peterson, but for us sitting on your couch or

244
00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:57,760
Speaker 1: us sitting on the couch watching you play. So this

245
00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:01,160
Speaker 1: notion that is coming out like is not that surprising.

246
00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:04,400
Speaker 1: People do not like him, And there's you know, I

247
00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:07,320
Speaker 1: think two quarterbacks that are pretty polarizing right now, Russell

248
00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:11,600
Speaker 1: Wilson Kyler Murray. I think Russell's obviously pretty fake. Not

249
00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:14,240
Speaker 1: my cup of tea. Most people don't think he's a

250
00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:17,199
Speaker 1: bad human being. And I'm not saying Kyler is like

251
00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:20,080
Speaker 1: a bad human being, like he's committing crimes or anything.

252
00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:22,880
Speaker 1: People just don't like the guy. I mean, it's pretty

253
00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:25,679
Speaker 1: well documented right now. The team doesn't like him. I've

254
00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:27,480
Speaker 1: heard from Colo's people in the league that no people

255
00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:30,719
Speaker 1: in Arizona, it's not they're not a huge fans, and

256
00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:34,720
Speaker 1: no one has anyone to blame outside of that building

257
00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:38,120
Speaker 1: but themselves. They paid him. They did not have to

258
00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:40,520
Speaker 1: do that. I understood why they took the guy number

259
00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:43,840
Speaker 1: one He's a fantastic talent. He's one of the fastest

260
00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:46,000
Speaker 1: guys in the league. He's got a big arm. He

261
00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:49,000
Speaker 1: was elite in college. It ain't working in the pros,

262
00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:52,600
Speaker 1: you know. And I said this a while back. Lincoln

263
00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:56,120
Speaker 1: Riley had three guys back to back to back. Basically,

264
00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:57,960
Speaker 1: I think there was a year in between one of them,

265
00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:02,560
Speaker 1: but Baker, Kyler, then Jalen, And the biggest difference between

266
00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:07,240
Speaker 1: Jalen and the other two guys clearly is Jalen's all

267
00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:10,199
Speaker 1: in on football. He's all in on being a good teammate.

268
00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:12,679
Speaker 1: He gets along with the thirty five year old with kids,

269
00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:15,080
Speaker 1: he gets along with the rookies. One thing I heard

270
00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:18,400
Speaker 1: immediately in Philadelphia, they drove a wedge between him and

271
00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:22,640
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz. Guys gravitated toward him. Guys don't naturally just

272
00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:26,440
Speaker 1: gravitate towards random people. They gravitate toward people they like

273
00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:29,560
Speaker 1: who inspire them, whether it's in sports or whether it's

274
00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:33,040
Speaker 1: in business. For whatever reason, Kyler, Murray, you go the

275
00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:36,080
Speaker 1: other way. You're like, I'm gonna go eat over at

276
00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:39,280
Speaker 1: this table. Clearly, Baker is somewhere in the middle. He's

277
00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:42,120
Speaker 1: not as talented as those two guys, but I would

278
00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:45,560
Speaker 1: put both Baker and Kyler in the category of like

279
00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:49,000
Speaker 1: something's off, bro like it's we got enough evidence, And

280
00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:52,280
Speaker 1: Jalen is a great example of like the opposite. So

281
00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:55,600
Speaker 1: when Patrick Peterson, one of the more well respected guys

282
00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:58,040
Speaker 1: in the league, someone who doesn't just say ship to

283
00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:00,880
Speaker 1: say ship honestly from a all, I never thought Patrick

284
00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:03,520
Speaker 1: Peterson was some big talker. It's a great player from

285
00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:04,920
Speaker 1: l s U who went to the Cardinals, had a

286
00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:08,440
Speaker 1: fantastic career. He's just speaking the truth. He's got nothing

287

318
00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:02,120
Speaker 1: little weekend football. It's obviously, you know, Friday night is

319
00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:05,800
Speaker 1: gonna be awesome usc utah Uh, the Saturday games are

320
00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:09,320
Speaker 1: gonna be fantastic, all these conference championship games. But there

321
00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:12,080
Speaker 1: are We've had some pretty average weeks in the NFL.

322
00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:13,920
Speaker 1: Like in college, for the most part, you're getting two

323
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:16,199
Speaker 1: or three bohemoth games a week, especially towards the end

324
00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:18,000
Speaker 1: of the season. That has not been the case in

325
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:22,080
Speaker 1: the NFL. Well, that changes this week, and to me,

326
00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:25,840
Speaker 1: there are two just massive games. Obviously Bengals Chiefs, which

327
00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:27,679
Speaker 1: will dive into a second, and I'll start with the

328
00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:31,040
Speaker 1: Dolphins on the road against the Niners. From a football perspective,

329
00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:33,480
Speaker 1: you know, arguably one of the best, if you know,

330
00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:35,520
Speaker 1: depending on situation. I mean, I think they're the best

331
00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:38,840
Speaker 1: red zone offense. Two is having a fantastic season. Tyreksa

332
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:43,240
Speaker 1: MVP candidate. Their their offense is super fast, explosive, it's

333
00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:45,800
Speaker 1: it's everything you'd want. We'll see the offensive line there

334
00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:48,879
Speaker 1: missing some guys against the league's best defense, and the

335
00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:51,920
Speaker 1: Niners relative to two thousand twenty two are by far

336
00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:54,560
Speaker 1: to me the best defense, Like they're the best now

337
00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:57,520
Speaker 1: relative to historic units. They're not even the best Niner

338
00:17:57,560 --> 00:18:00,880
Speaker 1: defense of the last decade. But it doesn't matter. That's irrelevant.

339
00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:03,240
Speaker 1: All that matters is two thousand twenty two. So from

340
00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:07,080
Speaker 1: a football perspective, this elite offense against this elite defense,

341
00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:09,480
Speaker 1: let's watch it play out. But to me, the most

342
00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:13,520
Speaker 1: fascinating part about this game, and uh, listen, I I

343
00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:16,399
Speaker 1: guess I like the Niners, but I wouldn't I wouldn't

344
00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:18,320
Speaker 1: bet on this game. I know that I do not

345
00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:21,920
Speaker 1: feel confident of the Niners winning. It's been a roller

346
00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:23,960
Speaker 1: coaster a couple of years, and you never know what

347
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:25,520
Speaker 1: you're gonna get with this team, no matter how many

348
00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:28,640
Speaker 1: damn good players they have. But I think what's fascinating

349
00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:32,240
Speaker 1: is from a coaching perspective. And we've talked about it,

350
00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:34,480
Speaker 1: and I definitely have hammered at home, But it's been

351
00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:38,320
Speaker 1: a talking point for years about Belichick. Guys, right, they

352
00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:42,280
Speaker 1: try to copy Bill Belichick, they try to emulate him.

353
00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:45,360
Speaker 1: It's like there's only one Bill Belichick. This little curmudgeon

354
00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:48,840
Speaker 1: who's super educated that knows literally every position, every single

355
00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:51,720
Speaker 1: play in the history of the league, right every single

356
00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:54,800
Speaker 1: player too. Like no one's ever gonna be Bill Belichick,

357
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:57,560
Speaker 1: so when you try to copy him and all of

358
00:18:57,600 --> 00:19:01,879
Speaker 1: his strategies, you're gonna fail. And they all do, every

359
00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:04,920
Speaker 1: single one of them. And and even Josh McDaniels, who

360
00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:07,640
Speaker 1: was probably the brightest star of the group, is four

361
00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:10,199
Speaker 1: and seven and they're celebrating beating Seattle like it was

362
00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:12,439
Speaker 1: the a f C championship game. Rightfully so, because they

363
00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:15,760
Speaker 1: well they started to and seven. But when you look

364
00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:19,720
Speaker 1: at Kyle Shanahan's guys, and to me, his true guy

365
00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:23,520
Speaker 1: was Mike McDaniel. Robert Sala, who had worked with from

366
00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:27,480
Speaker 1: an assistant coach standpoint, was with him four years. Robert

367
00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:30,200
Speaker 1: Sala obviously, his ascension happened because he came to the

368
00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:33,080
Speaker 1: fort he was a fired linebacker coach from the Jags

369
00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:37,639
Speaker 1: and transitioned his life to becoming He's having a fantastic season.

370
00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:40,760
Speaker 1: And if you watch Robert salom miked up. If you're

371
00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:42,199
Speaker 1: a Jets fan, I'm sure you've seen it. If you're

372
00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:45,399
Speaker 1: a football fan, you'd enjoy it. Against the Bears, like

373
00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:48,159
Speaker 1: five and a half minutes worth. You would think Robert

374
00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:51,320
Speaker 1: Sala was a former NFL player who retired like last year,

375
00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:54,879
Speaker 1: just one of the guys going nuts. And remember what

376
00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:58,160
Speaker 1: made him like really pop in the NFL Niners two

377
00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:01,520
Speaker 1: thousand nineteen. Defense was elite, but was his actions going

378
00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:04,040
Speaker 1: nuts on the sideline. It was like, God, damn, this

379
00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:06,879
Speaker 1: guy is passionate. And Mike McDaniel last year, when he

380
00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:09,880
Speaker 1: got elevated the offensive coordinator, he started doing these press

381
00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:12,320
Speaker 1: conferences like this is the weirdest guy I've ever seen

382
00:20:12,359 --> 00:20:14,560
Speaker 1: in the NFL. Like there has never been an NFL

383
00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:18,360
Speaker 1: coach quite like this guy. Ivy League, really out there, quirky,

384
00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:22,240
Speaker 1: talks different and like we said with the Belichick, guys,

385
00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:25,400
Speaker 1: be yourself. And I think this works in any industry.

386
00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:28,280
Speaker 1: I can speak for myself when I have been most comfortable,

387
00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:33,280
Speaker 1: whether obviously from a podcasting standpoint, but inside of building,

388
00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:34,920
Speaker 1: whether it was when I worked in the NFL, when

389
00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:38,560
Speaker 1: I worked in radio, been in relationships. It gives you

390
00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:44,399
Speaker 1: the most opportunity to have a successful professional life relationship whatever.

391
00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:47,360
Speaker 1: I think everyone listening to disagrees when they're at their

392
00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:50,359
Speaker 1: most comfortable, when they are there their most comfortable self.

393
00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:52,840
Speaker 1: That's when they're their best self. Now, that doesn't mean

394
00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:55,040
Speaker 1: everyone's gonna like you. That doesn't mean you're gonna get

395
00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:56,920
Speaker 1: along with everyone. That's not the way the world works.

396
00:20:57,359 --> 00:21:00,119
Speaker 1: But you gotta be true to yourself in an you

397
00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:02,600
Speaker 1: walk of life. I truly believe that. And it doesn't

398
00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:06,280
Speaker 1: guarantee success in any industry that you're working, but to me,

399
00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:09,440
Speaker 1: it gives you the best opportunity for success. T why

400
00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:12,080
Speaker 1: in college football, every guy that's very comfortable in their

401
00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:14,840
Speaker 1: own skin, those guys are the ones having success. Now,

402
00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:17,199
Speaker 1: just because you're comfortable in your own sin doesn't mean

403
00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:18,879
Speaker 1: you're gonna win a bunch of games. But look at

404
00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:21,680
Speaker 1: Lane Kiffen. Remember early on in Lane Kiffen's career, he

405
00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:23,760
Speaker 1: kind of was a weirdo. And then he's become very

406
00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:26,080
Speaker 1: comfortable post Nick Saban, and he's just true to himself.

407
00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:28,960
Speaker 1: He doesn't try to copy Nick Saban, he doesn't try

408
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:31,200
Speaker 1: to copy other He just doesn't try to copy Pete Carroll,

409
00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:33,359
Speaker 1: who he worked for. He's just Lane Kiffen. And you

410
00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:36,359
Speaker 1: know what it works. And I think when you watch

411
00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:39,040
Speaker 1: Robert Salo, Robert Salo is not trying to copy some

412
00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:42,440
Speaker 1: other coaches. Now I'm not saying you don't steal ideas

413
00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:45,560
Speaker 1: from other guys, but he's Robert sala and it's what

414
00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:48,000
Speaker 1: put him in position to be a head coach. And

415
00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:50,879
Speaker 1: to me, Robert Salo, we have seen Robert Salaz before.

416
00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:53,600
Speaker 1: To me, Robert sala is kind of from the Pete

417
00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:57,280
Speaker 1: Carroll tree in terms of high energy. Uh, just a

418
00:21:57,359 --> 00:21:59,600
Speaker 1: guy's guy. He's got a little Mike Tomlin in him.

419
00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:03,320
Speaker 1: He's just a cool cat who everyone likes, high character guy.

420
00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:05,920
Speaker 1: People love the guy, and it was it's it's easy

421
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:09,040
Speaker 1: to do that, especially when you're winning. Even though someone

422
00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:11,280
Speaker 1: with the Jets told me last year when they were

423
00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:13,280
Speaker 1: having a shitty season, They're like, you know what was

424
00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:16,680
Speaker 1: really impressive about Robert is he was pretty consistent all

425
00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:18,880
Speaker 1: season long. Like, obviously you can't jump up and down

426
00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:21,080
Speaker 1: when you're getting your ass kick, but he he didn't

427
00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:24,320
Speaker 1: turn into a negative Nancy. He stayed his positive self

428
00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:27,080
Speaker 1: and it's clearly bearing out some fruit this year with

429
00:22:27,119 --> 00:22:29,680
Speaker 1: their team kicking ass and taking names like you watch

430
00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:32,240
Speaker 1: the Jet team is really good. It's a little harder

431
00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:34,639
Speaker 1: for a guy like Mike McDaniel, who's just a quirky dude.

432
00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:37,560
Speaker 1: Watch one of his press conferences. It is unlike a

433
00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:39,879
Speaker 1: lot of other press conferences. And for those of you

434
00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:42,240
Speaker 1: that don't know, Michael Daniel has been with Kyle Shannion

435
00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:45,280
Speaker 1: for like over a decade. He was once fired by

436
00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:48,200
Speaker 1: Gary Kubiak because he struggled to get up early early

437
00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:50,720
Speaker 1: on in his career. And when you're like the quality

438
00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:53,720
Speaker 1: control guy and the head coach is also the offensive coordinator,

439
00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:56,159
Speaker 1: like he's calling, and I guess Gary Kubiak was a

440
00:22:56,200 --> 00:22:58,200
Speaker 1: really early morning guy. Couldn't they couldn't get ahold of

441
00:22:58,240 --> 00:22:59,760
Speaker 1: the guy, and he was fired. He had to go

442
00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:02,439
Speaker 1: to the World League. And then he battled alcohol issues

443
00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:05,480
Speaker 1: when he was with the Atlanta Falcons with Kyle and

444
00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:07,679
Speaker 1: they supported him and he went to react like he's

445
00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:09,800
Speaker 1: got a got a crazy story. But to me, what

446
00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:12,880
Speaker 1: makes him the craziest story is like him. He doesn't

447
00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:15,719
Speaker 1: look like most coaches. He definitely doesn't talk like most coaches,

448
00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:17,959
Speaker 1: but you know what, he doesn't try to fake it

449
00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:20,480
Speaker 1: like you watch him miked up. He's just kind of

450
00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:23,159
Speaker 1: a weird though, But it's it's him, it's who he

451
00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:26,320
Speaker 1: actually is. And I think there's a tried and truth

452
00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:30,720
Speaker 1: formula in coaching, just like it is in any leadership position.

453
00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:34,359
Speaker 1: If you are true to yourself, whether it's weird, whether

454
00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:38,359
Speaker 1: it's provided, whatever you have that is truly yourself, you

455
00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:40,560
Speaker 1: gotta stick with it because it gives you a good

456
00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:44,320
Speaker 1: opportunity to be successful. Now, the main reason Mike and

457
00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:48,960
Speaker 1: the Dolphins are having a fantastic season and surely headed

458
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:51,200
Speaker 1: to the playoffs for the first time. And I don't

459
00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:55,840
Speaker 1: remember Tony Soprano the year the Wildcat and O eight

460
00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:58,080
Speaker 1: is that the last time the Dolphins. Dolphins fans would

461
00:23:58,080 --> 00:23:59,600
Speaker 1: probably getting mad at me. No, we made it, and

462
00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:01,680
Speaker 1: do those third team. I don't remember you guys in

463
00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:04,720
Speaker 1: the playoffs like in the last decade plus, I don't

464
00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:08,359
Speaker 1: remember turning on Wild Card, you know, Saturday and Sunday

465
00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:10,920
Speaker 1: and seeing you guys like you guys have been relevant

466
00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:14,560
Speaker 1: because your franchise is always involved in weird stuff. But

467
00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:17,359
Speaker 1: you don't win a lot of games that matter because

468
00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:20,120
Speaker 1: you never played in January. Now you have one nineteen games.

469
00:24:20,119 --> 00:24:23,560
Speaker 1: It's not like McDaniel inherited some terrible team like the

470
00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:26,720
Speaker 1: team Salo inherited was much worse than the team McDaniel inherited,

471
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:29,320
Speaker 1: but he's done a really good job. And the reason

472
00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:31,679
Speaker 1: he has because he's a really good offensive coach and

473
00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:34,960
Speaker 1: he's good with offensive skill guys and quarterbacks. That's what

474
00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:37,760
Speaker 1: Kyle us Chick told me years ago. Guys love him

475
00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:41,560
Speaker 1: before they debos the use checks the kiddles. Those guys

476
00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:44,520
Speaker 1: really like Mike McDaniel. Why because he knows football and

477
00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:47,679
Speaker 1: ultimately as a football player, whether it's Robert Sala or

478
00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:50,399
Speaker 1: whether it's Mike McDaniel or whether it was Joe Judge

479
00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:53,359
Speaker 1: as a player, I don't really care that, oh, you

480
00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:55,560
Speaker 1: worked for Belichick or you worked for Saban, or you

481
00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:58,400
Speaker 1: worked for Kyle Shanahan, because it's me and you you're

482
00:24:58,480 --> 00:25:01,879
Speaker 1: my coach. I'm playing the game and we're the the Jets,

483
00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:05,240
Speaker 1: the Lions, the whoever's So can you help me out

484
00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:07,560
Speaker 1: when you tell me to run this route and I'm

485
00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:10,199
Speaker 1: a wide receiver and it's gonna work against this coverage

486
00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:12,200
Speaker 1: and they run that coverage on third down and that's

487
00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:14,680
Speaker 1: what we're gonna call and then it works. I'm gonna

488
00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:16,959
Speaker 1: believe in you. So whether you're an asshole, whether you're

489
00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:19,119
Speaker 1: a nice guy, whatever, if you can help me be

490
00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:21,720
Speaker 1: productive and be a good player, You're gonna help my

491
00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:23,760
Speaker 1: family because I'm gonna be a good player, and good

492
00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:26,199
Speaker 1: players get paid, and it's just a trickle down effect.

493
00:25:26,520 --> 00:25:27,919
Speaker 1: And that to me, Like you go back to the

494
00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:32,160
Speaker 1: Belichick guys, maybe some of their messages haven't been totally wrong,

495
00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:34,639
Speaker 1: but their view is fake. And then maybe it doesn't

496
00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:38,280
Speaker 1: always work on Sunday, so because nothing's always gonna work

497
00:25:38,280 --> 00:25:41,600
Speaker 1: Hell Belichick and Andy Reid and Sean Payton and Pete Carroll,

498
00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:43,960
Speaker 1: these guys have made calls that don't work. But when

499
00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:46,760
Speaker 1: I established a level of respect and from a human connection,

500
00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:49,119
Speaker 1: you know I'm being real. I can live with some

501
00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:51,639
Speaker 1: mistakes if I know you're gonna help me into that

502
00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:54,320
Speaker 1: I respect and I trust you. And I think that's

503
00:25:54,359 --> 00:25:56,320
Speaker 1: one thing that Kyle's two guys, the last two guys

504
00:25:56,320 --> 00:25:58,600
Speaker 1: that have got a head coaching jobs, Robert Salo and

505
00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:03,280
Speaker 1: Mike McDaniel play trust them because, like I said, completely

506
00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:07,840
Speaker 1: different personalities but very genuine people, and they're having a

507
00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:09,920
Speaker 1: ton of success. And honestly, it feels like both guys.

508
00:26:10,119 --> 00:26:12,560
Speaker 1: The Dolphins are gonna make the playoffs. I don't see

509
00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:14,720
Speaker 1: how the Jets don't. I mean, if if Mike White's

510
00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:17,600
Speaker 1: just solid it feels like the Jets are a playoff team.

511
00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:21,879
Speaker 1: And then the Bengal uh Chief game. If you're on

512
00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:24,080
Speaker 1: social media, see a bunch of players are talking ship

513
00:26:24,119 --> 00:26:26,919
Speaker 1: back to each other. That's cool, Like you know what

514
00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:31,720
Speaker 1: rivalries matter and having hatred toward each other as sports

515
00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:35,040
Speaker 1: fans and as us on the outside consuming this, that matters.

516
00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:38,479
Speaker 1: We want to think that when we're sitting on our

517
00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:42,200
Speaker 1: couch screaming up and down, the players and the coaches

518
00:26:42,359 --> 00:26:44,680
Speaker 1: care as much as we do, and sometimes they care

519
00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:47,959
Speaker 1: way more, and sometimes clearly they don't care remotely as

520
00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:50,200
Speaker 1: much as us. How look at the NBA. I saw

521
00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:53,080
Speaker 1: Sean Payton went on this rant to coward actually goes

522
00:26:53,080 --> 00:26:55,280
Speaker 1: on the show on Monday, and he talked about how

523
00:26:55,320 --> 00:26:58,320
Speaker 1: he knows there's been tanking before in the NFL, and

524
00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:02,800
Speaker 1: I'm gonna call bullshit by no hell. The Dolphins historically,

525
00:27:02,800 --> 00:27:04,520
Speaker 1: remember they were taking three years ago one three of

526
00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:08,440
Speaker 1: their last five games. The Doug Peterson tanking Week eighteen

527
00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:12,800
Speaker 1: is not tanking. Sam Hanky tanked for like four straight seasons.

528
00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:17,320
Speaker 1: NBA teams tank in December, their season ends in May.

529
00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:22,080
Speaker 1: Like you don't get like I don't tanking and losing

530
00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:24,600
Speaker 1: in week in the last game of the season, when

531
00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:26,960
Speaker 1: you have draft position on the line and you're a

532
00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:30,240
Speaker 1: two or three win team, is good business taking in

533
00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:34,439
Speaker 1: early December or late November? Is that? That's That's what

534
00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:37,040
Speaker 1: the NFL does not have, and they never have. The

535
00:27:37,119 --> 00:27:39,479
Speaker 1: nature of the sport, the nature of the you know,

536
00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:43,280
Speaker 1: every player no guaranteed contracts. They've been very lucky, and

537
00:27:43,320 --> 00:27:46,520
Speaker 1: what they have carried over college and the pros is

538
00:27:46,560 --> 00:27:50,760
Speaker 1: there are a lot of rivalries and everything means a lot. Right,

539
00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:54,080
Speaker 1: every game, even against bad teams, against good teams matter

540
00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:57,120
Speaker 1: because you only get seventeen of them. Everyone tries. Now,

541
00:27:57,160 --> 00:27:59,919
Speaker 1: there are blowouts, but it's but that doesn't in the end.

542
00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:03,080
Speaker 1: Fell for the most part, our games are relatively close.

543
00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:06,560
Speaker 1: It's why a big point spread is like seven eight points.

544
00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:10,399
Speaker 1: You open the college point spreads, you see twenty thirty

545
00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:12,840
Speaker 1: all throughout the year. How you see some conference games

546
00:28:12,840 --> 00:28:15,320
Speaker 1: where the point spread is twenty points. You never see

547
00:28:15,320 --> 00:28:17,600
Speaker 1: that in the NFL. Honestly, there haven't even been this

548
00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:21,520
Speaker 1: year that many double digit point spreads. Which remember the

549
00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:23,840
Speaker 1: Miami team with Flora's when he was supposed to tank

550
00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:27,480
Speaker 1: and he didn't, which cost him. Joe Burrow, No big deal. Uh,

551
00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:30,280
Speaker 1: they had several spreads. They were like seventeen points, which

552
00:28:30,320 --> 00:28:33,359
Speaker 1: is unheard of in the NFL. And like when you

553
00:28:33,359 --> 00:28:35,600
Speaker 1: look at the Ohio State Michigan game when they had

554
00:28:35,640 --> 00:28:39,080
Speaker 1: seventeen million people watching, you know why because people like

555
00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:44,240
Speaker 1: John middlecoff in Scottsdale Arizona didn't miss a second. The rivalry,

556
00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:48,240
Speaker 1: the history, the talent, everything, Like I wasn't gonna miss

557
00:28:48,280 --> 00:28:51,320
Speaker 1: that game, just like I would imagine many people listening

558
00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:54,800
Speaker 1: watched it. Why because we know how much they care.

559
00:28:55,120 --> 00:28:57,880
Speaker 1: We know how much it matters whether you're a big

560
00:28:57,920 --> 00:29:00,400
Speaker 1: ten guy, whether you went to the schools, whether you

561
00:29:00,440 --> 00:29:03,280
Speaker 1: went to cal Poly or Texas State or f a U,

562
00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:05,920
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter because you know how much it means.

563
00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:09,920
Speaker 1: And football, Like, we've had some great rivalries over the years.

564
00:29:09,960 --> 00:29:12,240
Speaker 1: To me, the best rivalry was when I was in

565
00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:15,200
Speaker 1: college and even late in high school. Peyton Manning and

566
00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:18,200
Speaker 1: Tom Brady, two of the best players ever. Their teams

567
00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:20,360
Speaker 1: played every year most of the time, twice a year

568
00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:23,440
Speaker 1: they played each other basically their entire careers. It was awesome.

569
00:29:23,920 --> 00:29:25,400
Speaker 1: And one thing I think we're starting to get in

570
00:29:25,440 --> 00:29:27,080
Speaker 1: the A f C and and part of being a

571
00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:30,600
Speaker 1: rivalry is like you need both teams to win. Like

572
00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:34,120
Speaker 1: why was Ohio State and Michigan so highly rated this

573
00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:37,680
Speaker 1: year because Michigan won last year? Like if Ohio stated

574
00:29:37,760 --> 00:29:40,200
Speaker 1: kicked Michigan's asked last year, that game wouldn't have mattered

575
00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:42,560
Speaker 1: as much this year, even though obviously it wouldn't matter

576
00:29:42,600 --> 00:29:44,760
Speaker 1: because they were both undefeated, But no one would have

577
00:29:44,760 --> 00:29:48,160
Speaker 1: thought Michigan could win the game. So for the first time,

578
00:29:48,320 --> 00:29:50,520
Speaker 1: even and I was there, I was like, as Michigan

579
00:29:50,520 --> 00:29:52,520
Speaker 1: really gonna win this game, but I thought they had

580
00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:54,520
Speaker 1: a chance because of last year. So to get a

581
00:29:54,520 --> 00:29:56,920
Speaker 1: good rivalry, you need both teams on both sides to win.

582
00:29:57,400 --> 00:29:59,320
Speaker 1: To why the Red Sox and Yankees, Like were they

583
00:29:59,320 --> 00:30:01,440
Speaker 1: really arrival? Well, once to know four and the Red

584
00:30:01,440 --> 00:30:03,600
Speaker 1: Sox started winning, it got a lot more interesting. Like

585
00:30:03,640 --> 00:30:06,680
Speaker 1: I grew up around Sacramento. Sacramento Kings and the Lakers

586
00:30:06,680 --> 00:30:10,200
Speaker 1: were not a rivalry. Why Lakers always one, always did,

587
00:30:10,440 --> 00:30:13,320
Speaker 1: Like the Warriors haven't really had rivalries, They've always like

588
00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:15,719
Speaker 1: them in the racket. Rockets were not a rivalry. They

589
00:30:15,720 --> 00:30:18,240
Speaker 1: always beat them them in the calves. You could argue,

590
00:30:18,320 --> 00:30:21,240
Speaker 1: right Lebron got them one time, but part of a rivalries,

591
00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:24,560
Speaker 1: like both sides gotta have a chance. And one thing

592
00:30:24,600 --> 00:30:27,760
Speaker 1: that's cool about this Bill's Chiefs thing, it's like I've

593
00:30:27,920 --> 00:30:30,200
Speaker 1: now not for all the marbles, the Chiefs have beat

594
00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:33,520
Speaker 1: them in the playoffs, But when Patrick Mahomes and Josh

595
00:30:33,520 --> 00:30:37,000
Speaker 1: Allen hopefully play in the second or the conference championship

596
00:30:37,040 --> 00:30:39,440
Speaker 1: this year, we're gonna go into that game. Depending on

597
00:30:39,480 --> 00:30:42,480
Speaker 1: where it is, it's actually irrelevant where it is, whether

598
00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:44,840
Speaker 1: it's in Buffalo or in Kansas City. We go either

599
00:30:44,840 --> 00:30:46,480
Speaker 1: team as a chance to win, and we're gonna be

600
00:30:46,560 --> 00:30:48,880
Speaker 1: glued and thirty eight million people are gonna watch because

601
00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:51,000
Speaker 1: it's gonna be two of the best quarterbacks. It's a rivalry,

602
00:30:51,120 --> 00:30:54,480
Speaker 1: a lot of connections the two star quarterbacks, uh the coaches,

603
00:30:54,600 --> 00:30:57,800
Speaker 1: they've worked together. It's fascinating. And to me, we might

604
00:30:57,840 --> 00:31:01,480
Speaker 1: have an addition to that because last year, remember the

605
00:31:01,520 --> 00:31:04,240
Speaker 1: Bengals beat him twice, but obviously beat him in the

606
00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:07,000
Speaker 1: most important game and honestly the weirdest second half we've

607
00:31:07,040 --> 00:31:09,680
Speaker 1: ever seen out of Patrick Mahomes. And then this week

608
00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:12,920
Speaker 1: talking a bunch of ship, this game matters and when

609
00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:16,520
Speaker 1: you're it's it's honestly baseball's you know, people think it's

610
00:31:16,520 --> 00:31:19,040
Speaker 1: like it's so slow, it's so boring. You know. Their

611
00:31:19,120 --> 00:31:24,280
Speaker 1: biggest issue is they play every fucking night, every single night,

612
00:31:24,640 --> 00:31:27,280
Speaker 1: and in two thousand twenty two, every games on television.

613
00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:29,840
Speaker 1: So like, why do I need to watch in late

614
00:31:29,920 --> 00:31:33,960
Speaker 1: May or early July or early August. I mean I could,

615
00:31:34,120 --> 00:31:36,840
Speaker 1: I might, and I do sometimes, but ultimately there's another

616
00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:40,040
Speaker 1: game tomorrow and another game tomorrow. It's like, why are

617
00:31:40,040 --> 00:31:43,760
Speaker 1: the golf majors so important? There are four year tennis?

618
00:31:43,800 --> 00:31:46,720
Speaker 1: Why are the Grand Slams so important? There's only four

619
00:31:46,760 --> 00:31:50,840
Speaker 1: of them? Right? They some games mean more, some tournaments

620
00:31:50,920 --> 00:31:53,360
Speaker 1: mean more. Why am I who? I don't care at

621
00:31:53,360 --> 00:31:57,920
Speaker 1: all about soccer, but I love America patriotic individual and

622
00:31:57,920 --> 00:32:01,680
Speaker 1: I like sports. So I'm glued. I'm recording this Thursday afternoon.

623
00:32:02,040 --> 00:32:05,120
Speaker 1: The World Cup game comes on eight o'clock Saturday morning.

624
00:32:05,200 --> 00:32:07,400
Speaker 1: I will be up. I will be locked into that

625
00:32:07,440 --> 00:32:10,560
Speaker 1: bad boy, zero chance under no circumstances. When I missed

626
00:32:10,560 --> 00:32:14,160
Speaker 1: that game. I'm actually really excited for why because it matters,

627
00:32:14,600 --> 00:32:16,840
Speaker 1: And to me, the Cincinnati in Kansas City game now

628
00:32:17,120 --> 00:32:20,240
Speaker 1: feels like it matters. We know Kansas City and Buffalo does,

629
00:32:20,560 --> 00:32:23,440
Speaker 1: and you know, it's really gonna matter to Kansas City,

630
00:32:23,680 --> 00:32:27,240
Speaker 1: right because Cincinnati, who's actually got their swag back. Joe

631
00:32:27,240 --> 00:32:30,320
Speaker 1: Burrows just bawling and he's clearly not going away. Like

632
00:32:30,680 --> 00:32:33,520
Speaker 1: part of what's cool about conference, Like ultimately with the

633
00:32:33,560 --> 00:32:36,959
Speaker 1: Miami and forty Niner game, it's a one off. It's uh,

634
00:32:37,120 --> 00:32:39,600
Speaker 1: once every four years game. So even if they play

635
00:32:39,640 --> 00:32:41,280
Speaker 1: in the best game of the year, let's just say

636
00:32:41,280 --> 00:32:44,400
Speaker 1: it's the it's somehow tops think about the best game

637
00:32:44,400 --> 00:32:48,000
Speaker 1: of the year Bills Minnesota. That was freaking awesome. They

638
00:32:48,040 --> 00:32:50,680
Speaker 1: won't play again for four more years. Right if that

639
00:32:50,800 --> 00:32:53,720
Speaker 1: had been the Kansas City Buffalo game, or if that

640
00:32:53,840 --> 00:32:57,920
Speaker 1: had been Kansas City Cincinnati, or that had been forty Niners,

641
00:32:58,160 --> 00:33:00,560
Speaker 1: you know, Rams or whatever, it would He's so much

642
00:33:00,600 --> 00:33:03,480
Speaker 1: more intriguing. And to me, when you get conference rivals

643
00:33:03,720 --> 00:33:08,200
Speaker 1: with great quarterbacks, it just draws us in no different

644
00:33:08,360 --> 00:33:10,280
Speaker 1: Like I was watching a little bit last night of

645
00:33:10,880 --> 00:33:13,880
Speaker 1: flipping channels and all these like Big ten A, c

646
00:33:14,040 --> 00:33:16,640
Speaker 1: C college basketball tournaments, And when I was a kid,

647
00:33:16,720 --> 00:33:19,640
Speaker 1: they were so big in the nineties. College basketball has

648
00:33:19,680 --> 00:33:23,000
Speaker 1: diminished greatly, and I think it's simply because like when

649
00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:25,440
Speaker 1: I was a kid, guys star players would stay for

650
00:33:25,480 --> 00:33:27,680
Speaker 1: a couple of years. Like in college football. Like the

651
00:33:27,720 --> 00:33:31,120
Speaker 1: reason college football is so big is because we know

652
00:33:31,240 --> 00:33:34,920
Speaker 1: the star players like Bryce Young, Caleb Williams, will Anderson,

653
00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:37,760
Speaker 1: Aidan Hutchinson, Like we start viewing them as NFL players

654
00:33:37,800 --> 00:33:40,240
Speaker 1: while they're in college. In college basketball, it happened so

655
00:33:40,240 --> 00:33:42,360
Speaker 1: fast and then they're gone. Right in college football, we

656
00:33:42,440 --> 00:33:44,760
Speaker 1: can a guy can start as a true freshman at

657
00:33:44,800 --> 00:33:47,360
Speaker 1: Alabama at Ohio State. Like I knew Nick Bosa, it

658
00:33:47,400 --> 00:33:49,000
Speaker 1: was when he was nineteen. I gotta watch him for

659
00:33:49,040 --> 00:33:53,880
Speaker 1: several years or whoever. Insert any sweet player, and college

660
00:33:53,880 --> 00:33:56,200
Speaker 1: basketball now lacks at hell. Some guys go to like

661
00:33:56,280 --> 00:33:58,680
Speaker 1: the G League. It's just not the same and it's

662
00:33:58,880 --> 00:34:02,160
Speaker 1: it's just part of the deal. But Indiana North Carolina

663
00:34:02,600 --> 00:34:04,800
Speaker 1: and the environment was sweet. I was like, God, this

664
00:34:04,880 --> 00:34:08,439
Speaker 1: was reminds me like Dean Smith versus Bobby Knight back

665
00:34:08,440 --> 00:34:10,600
Speaker 1: in the day. Ironically, it's like Mike Woodson who played

666
00:34:10,640 --> 00:34:13,360
Speaker 1: for Bobby Knight and Hubert Davis who played for Dean Smith.

667
00:34:13,440 --> 00:34:15,160
Speaker 1: So it was. It had a good field. Both teams

668
00:34:15,160 --> 00:34:18,279
Speaker 1: were ranked and I watched I didn't I don't know

669
00:34:18,360 --> 00:34:21,000
Speaker 1: a player on either team. I don't even care but

670
00:34:21,080 --> 00:34:23,480
Speaker 1: it was like, I can't change the channel. People are

671
00:34:23,480 --> 00:34:26,840
Speaker 1: going nuts. Places packed. It feels like this is for

672
00:34:26,880 --> 00:34:30,160
Speaker 1: all the marbles, and that's what Kansas City and Cincinnati

673
00:34:30,640 --> 00:34:32,440
Speaker 1: and a little bit. I would say Kansas Cinity and

674
00:34:32,440 --> 00:34:36,880
Speaker 1: Cincinnati feel like a bigger game than Miami and San Francisco,

675
00:34:36,920 --> 00:34:39,520
Speaker 1: just strictly because the conference. Saying I think the Eagles

676
00:34:39,520 --> 00:34:41,920
Speaker 1: played the Titans this week, same deal. It's just it's

677
00:34:41,960 --> 00:34:44,280
Speaker 1: not quite the same. And when you get big conference

678
00:34:44,640 --> 00:34:48,359
Speaker 1: games for teams that aren't in the same division, it's

679
00:34:48,680 --> 00:34:53,440
Speaker 1: it's fun and it's it's what we want as viewers.

680
00:34:53,560 --> 00:34:55,120
Speaker 1: I know it's what I want is someone that talks

681
00:34:55,160 --> 00:34:58,400
Speaker 1: about football. Plus there's just the storyline in this game

682
00:34:58,520 --> 00:35:00,799
Speaker 1: is I will be st And I talked about this

683
00:35:00,840 --> 00:35:04,840
Speaker 1: with Stucky. The level of edge that Kansas City is

684
00:35:04,880 --> 00:35:07,640
Speaker 1: gonna have. I mean, they were the team that got embarrassed,

685
00:35:07,719 --> 00:35:09,440
Speaker 1: they were the team with the big lead, they were

686
00:35:09,480 --> 00:35:11,239
Speaker 1: the team that blew to the end of the first half.

687
00:35:11,800 --> 00:35:14,480
Speaker 1: And now Cincinnati like ultimately they got to go to

688
00:35:14,520 --> 00:35:16,560
Speaker 1: the super Bowl. It would have been Kansas City third

689
00:35:16,600 --> 00:35:19,800
Speaker 1: straight Super Bowl. Even if they win or lose against

690
00:35:19,880 --> 00:35:23,000
Speaker 1: the Rams, I probably think they win, but how many

691
00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:27,080
Speaker 1: teams historically, I'm not Belichick here, go to three straight

692
00:35:27,120 --> 00:35:29,880
Speaker 1: super Bowls? Right, as long as you win one, you're

693
00:35:29,920 --> 00:35:31,759
Speaker 1: not the Bills. So you've got three straight super bowls.

694
00:35:31,800 --> 00:35:35,879
Speaker 1: That's a really big accomplishment. Early nineties Cowboys didn't UM,

695
00:35:35,880 --> 00:35:40,080
Speaker 1: pretty sure, Walsh Niners never did UM. Maybe some of

696
00:35:40,080 --> 00:35:42,480
Speaker 1: the Steeler teams. I don't know. Again, not a not

697
00:35:42,520 --> 00:35:46,680
Speaker 1: a football historian pre like, but it's not an easy

698
00:35:46,719 --> 00:35:50,760
Speaker 1: feat to do. So I'm really excited for those two.

699
00:35:51,640 --> 00:35:53,560
Speaker 1: Before we get into Stuckey, I wanted to hit on

700
00:35:53,560 --> 00:35:58,200
Speaker 1: one thing. I watched Matt Rules press conference with Nebraska,

701
00:35:58,760 --> 00:36:02,840
Speaker 1: and it hit me because he was pretty good. He

702
00:36:03,080 --> 00:36:07,600
Speaker 1: captivated the screen and it almost like, or was like

703
00:36:07,920 --> 00:36:11,840
Speaker 1: he was a politician, had all the right things to say,

704
00:36:12,239 --> 00:36:16,160
Speaker 1: could hit the big points with the boosters, could really

705
00:36:16,200 --> 00:36:20,239
Speaker 1: resonate with the players, kind of had it all. Honestly

706
00:36:20,560 --> 00:36:24,960
Speaker 1: looked like a movie character. And it hit me he

707
00:36:25,040 --> 00:36:29,400
Speaker 1: was made for college because in college, being a salesman

708
00:36:30,200 --> 00:36:35,000
Speaker 1: is a big deal. You're always selling your program, your

709
00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:41,120
Speaker 1: players now to stay, future recruits, uh, future coaches that

710
00:36:41,200 --> 00:36:44,359
Speaker 1: want to come coach for you or with you. You're

711
00:36:44,400 --> 00:36:49,000
Speaker 1: selling everything constantly. Historically, before. Now we have potentially this

712
00:36:49,120 --> 00:36:51,680
Speaker 1: twelve we don't put that's out. Potentially we will have

713
00:36:51,719 --> 00:36:54,160
Speaker 1: a twelve team playoff. You had to sell your own

714
00:36:54,160 --> 00:36:58,319
Speaker 1: team to get to the best ball games, and I

715
00:36:58,320 --> 00:37:01,320
Speaker 1: think Irvan Meyer is a pretty good example of this too.

716
00:37:01,760 --> 00:37:04,759
Speaker 1: He could put on a show he literally doesn't now

717
00:37:04,920 --> 00:37:11,040
Speaker 1: on television. The NFL, where obviously has some enormous personalities

718
00:37:11,360 --> 00:37:13,920
Speaker 1: that I think we all agree would crush it in

719
00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:17,440
Speaker 1: college football. Remember last year when the USC job was

720
00:37:17,520 --> 00:37:23,799
Speaker 1: open and rumors linked Mike Tomlin to USC. We all said, God,

721
00:37:23,880 --> 00:37:26,560
Speaker 1: that would be a pretty sweet fit. I think that

722
00:37:26,600 --> 00:37:30,520
Speaker 1: would work. Now he was offended rightfully. So like you

723
00:37:30,520 --> 00:37:34,239
Speaker 1: think I'd fucking leave the Pittsburgh Steelers, I'd rather win

724
00:37:34,400 --> 00:37:37,200
Speaker 1: couple games here in Pittsburgh then go coach in college.

725
00:37:37,239 --> 00:37:40,760
Speaker 1: And he's right, Sean McVeigh. Obviously, Pete Carroll had success

726
00:37:40,760 --> 00:37:44,319
Speaker 1: in college. The NFL is a better job from a

727
00:37:44,360 --> 00:37:49,600
Speaker 1: lifestyle standpoint, from you know, potentially a financial standpoint. Top

728
00:37:49,600 --> 00:37:51,279
Speaker 1: guys in the NFL make more of the top guys

729
00:37:51,280 --> 00:37:55,640
Speaker 1: in college and um and yeah, but here's the thing.

730
00:37:56,760 --> 00:38:00,600
Speaker 1: Sundays is about scheming. You spend most of you weak

731
00:38:01,160 --> 00:38:05,760
Speaker 1: figuring out how to outscheme the opponent. It's a thinking

732
00:38:05,840 --> 00:38:10,880
Speaker 1: man's game. I have to outthink you. In college, a

733
00:38:11,040 --> 00:38:14,680
Speaker 1: lot of it is selling your program and getting the

734
00:38:14,719 --> 00:38:20,480
Speaker 1: best players and then out athleting you having better Jimmy

735
00:38:20,640 --> 00:38:24,239
Speaker 1: and the Joe's, not the exes and the oas in

736
00:38:24,280 --> 00:38:26,440
Speaker 1: the pros. We all got the Jimmy's and the Joe's. Now,

737
00:38:26,480 --> 00:38:29,640
Speaker 1: obviously some teams are more talented than others, but we

738
00:38:29,719 --> 00:38:32,160
Speaker 1: do not all have the exs and the oas. We're

739
00:38:32,160 --> 00:38:36,320
Speaker 1: in college, being a CEO head coach is actually pretty normal.

740
00:38:37,120 --> 00:38:41,600
Speaker 1: Harbaugh uh Urban was Matt Rule is, these guys are

741
00:38:41,680 --> 00:38:46,080
Speaker 1: very successful coaches. James Franklin is, it's in the norm.

742
00:38:46,200 --> 00:38:49,439
Speaker 1: Nick saban now is, though he is an excellent scheme guy.

743
00:38:49,760 --> 00:38:54,000
Speaker 1: Kirby smart now is, it's the norm. It's what you do.

744
00:38:55,560 --> 00:38:59,120
Speaker 1: And watching Matt Rule, I thought this guy. The reason

745
00:38:59,160 --> 00:39:01,440
Speaker 1: he failed in the NFL, we all say, and I'm

746
00:39:01,440 --> 00:39:03,800
Speaker 1: guilty of this, he didn't have a quarterback. And that's true.

747
00:39:04,680 --> 00:39:08,480
Speaker 1: He couldn't outthink anybody, he couldn't out scheme anybody, because

748
00:39:08,520 --> 00:39:13,400
Speaker 1: that ain't his deal. He's a recruiter, he's a salesman.

749
00:39:13,880 --> 00:39:16,600
Speaker 1: He's meant for Saturdays. And I say this all the

750
00:39:16,640 --> 00:39:19,200
Speaker 1: time about being a defensive coordinator, not a head coach.

751
00:39:19,760 --> 00:39:22,400
Speaker 1: Best part about being the number two in the NFL

752
00:39:23,600 --> 00:39:27,000
Speaker 1: pays two to three million dollars to be the number two,

753
00:39:27,920 --> 00:39:29,440
Speaker 1: you know. The best part about being a great head

754
00:39:29,480 --> 00:39:33,799
Speaker 1: coach that can't cut it on Sundays still pays eight

755
00:39:33,920 --> 00:39:37,960
Speaker 1: nine million dollars. So I think Matt Rule watching that

756
00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:39,880
Speaker 1: press conference, I don't know if he's gonna have success

757
00:39:39,920 --> 00:39:42,759
Speaker 1: in Nebraska. I've driven through the state of Nebraska one

758
00:39:42,840 --> 00:39:46,319
Speaker 1: time in twenty four hours, so I've never spent any

759
00:39:46,320 --> 00:39:48,360
Speaker 1: time there, spent the night one time in Lincoln, Nebraska.

760
00:39:48,840 --> 00:39:52,200
Speaker 1: I I don't know anything about beside growing up there

761
00:39:52,239 --> 00:39:55,359
Speaker 1: were a powerhouse. I don't. It sure feels like an

762
00:39:55,440 --> 00:39:58,000
Speaker 1: uphill battle to me. But it does feel like he

763
00:39:58,080 --> 00:40:03,799
Speaker 1: has the salesmanship, the vision as a CEO, because schematically,

764
00:40:04,520 --> 00:40:07,480
Speaker 1: you know he's probably average. But if he can get

765
00:40:07,480 --> 00:40:11,080
Speaker 1: the best players and recruit the best coaches, then he'll

766
00:40:11,120 --> 00:40:13,960
Speaker 1: have a shot. But that's saying like no one cares.

767
00:40:14,320 --> 00:40:16,800
Speaker 1: You don't sell anyone anything in the NFL. If you

768
00:40:16,840 --> 00:40:18,200
Speaker 1: want to get a player to come to you, you

769
00:40:18,239 --> 00:40:22,760
Speaker 1: pay for them, right. You draft players, then I play

770
00:40:23,080 --> 00:40:25,880
Speaker 1: Bruce Arians, then I play Sean Payton, then I play

771
00:40:26,080 --> 00:40:28,840
Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan, then I play Bill Belichick, and I have

772
00:40:28,920 --> 00:40:32,080
Speaker 1: to out coach them, Like when I play Ohio State,

773
00:40:32,800 --> 00:40:36,080
Speaker 1: if I'm Nebraska, they're always gonna have better players than me. Now,

774
00:40:36,200 --> 00:40:38,280
Speaker 1: if I can recruit well enough when I play Wisconsin,

775
00:40:38,320 --> 00:40:41,080
Speaker 1: when I play Iowa, maybe I can get better players

776
00:40:41,080 --> 00:40:43,880
Speaker 1: in them. Maybe at most it can be even, and

777
00:40:43,920 --> 00:40:46,400
Speaker 1: then it will come down to my assistant coaches. But

778
00:40:46,480 --> 00:40:49,400
Speaker 1: Matt Rule, watching him, I understand why if I'm a

779
00:40:49,400 --> 00:40:53,560
Speaker 1: Nebraska fan, I'm excited, and I also understand why he

780
00:40:53,560 --> 00:40:58,760
Speaker 1: didn't make it in the NFL. Back at it again

781
00:40:58,800 --> 00:41:02,520
Speaker 1: with my man, Stuck, you who is on fire and

782
00:41:02,680 --> 00:41:04,919
Speaker 1: Thanksgiving a week is never easy because those games cup

783
00:41:04,960 --> 00:41:07,560
Speaker 1: on come up on you fast. He just went three

784
00:41:07,600 --> 00:41:09,360
Speaker 1: and oh and as he told me when he jumped on,

785
00:41:09,560 --> 00:41:13,320
Speaker 1: he went eight no on the weekend. Uh, he's scorching hot,

786
00:41:13,680 --> 00:41:17,360
Speaker 1: absolutely scorching. But when you're friends with Mike White, who's

787
00:41:17,360 --> 00:41:20,759
Speaker 1: basically Joe Namath, now I can't blame you, Stucky. You

788
00:41:20,800 --> 00:41:23,719
Speaker 1: can hear him Action Network podcast, you can hear big

789
00:41:23,719 --> 00:41:27,520
Speaker 1: Bets on campus. A lot of college football going on

790
00:41:28,160 --> 00:41:30,239
Speaker 1: big week actually, which is kind of crazy that these

791
00:41:30,280 --> 00:41:32,879
Speaker 1: teams have to play the extra game and if they

792
00:41:32,880 --> 00:41:35,439
Speaker 1: loose like USC, you know, if the season just ended

793
00:41:35,480 --> 00:41:37,440
Speaker 1: now they've all played twelve games, they would be in.

794
00:41:37,520 --> 00:41:40,040
Speaker 1: But if they lose this game, they're out. But it

795
00:41:40,120 --> 00:41:41,640
Speaker 1: is what it is. We'll get the twelve team playoff

796
00:41:41,719 --> 00:41:44,520
Speaker 1: right around the corner, Stucky, what's happening? Hey, what's going on?

797
00:41:44,600 --> 00:41:47,719
Speaker 1: By a little under the weather? And I know you

798
00:41:47,760 --> 00:41:49,960
Speaker 1: are too, So let's let's cry and through this try

799
00:41:50,000 --> 00:41:53,920
Speaker 1: to find some winners. Hell, yeah, where do we want

800
00:41:53,920 --> 00:41:56,360
Speaker 1: to start. Let's let's start with your guy, Mike White,

801
00:41:56,400 --> 00:41:59,080
Speaker 1: who came in. It's pretty clear that the Jets are

802
00:41:59,120 --> 00:42:01,640
Speaker 1: really good, right, they have a very very talented team,

803
00:42:01,640 --> 00:42:04,279
Speaker 1: and how they're missing some really good players. Uh. Their

804
00:42:04,360 --> 00:42:08,480
Speaker 1: quarterback play, uh couldn't have been any worse. And I'm

805
00:42:08,520 --> 00:42:11,000
Speaker 1: not saying the guy was Joe Montana or John Elway,

806
00:42:11,080 --> 00:42:13,480
Speaker 1: but that that was a pretty damn good performance given

807
00:42:13,480 --> 00:42:16,400
Speaker 1: what they've been used to. I mean, it kind of

808
00:42:16,400 --> 00:42:19,120
Speaker 1: feels like the Jets now are a lock playoff team. Now,

809
00:42:19,160 --> 00:42:21,440
Speaker 1: this is a big game. You know at Minnesota, the

810
00:42:21,480 --> 00:42:24,600
Speaker 1: place is gonna be going nuts. Minnesota, clearly is pretty

811
00:42:24,640 --> 00:42:28,000
Speaker 1: good despite you know, statistically, I mean, they're just winning games.

812
00:42:28,600 --> 00:42:31,760
Speaker 1: But I do kind of like the Jets physicality against them. Now,

813
00:42:32,640 --> 00:42:36,000
Speaker 1: can Mike White, you know, back up as three touchdown performance,

814
00:42:36,040 --> 00:42:39,280
Speaker 1: no picks, It's gonna be interesting, but a tough defense,

815
00:42:39,680 --> 00:42:43,319
Speaker 1: run the ball, solace some old school football. Uh. Those

816
00:42:43,320 --> 00:42:46,839
Speaker 1: two wide receivers feel alive now and Wilson Analyijah Moore,

817
00:42:47,640 --> 00:42:50,239
Speaker 1: I think the Jets gotta be the pick here, right, Yeah.

818
00:42:50,280 --> 00:42:51,880
Speaker 1: I like the Jets plus three year. I mean I

819
00:42:52,239 --> 00:42:55,239
Speaker 1: was so down, like I was looking for spots to

820
00:42:55,280 --> 00:42:57,920
Speaker 1: fade the Jets earlier in the season just because I

821
00:42:57,920 --> 00:43:01,320
Speaker 1: thought Zack Wilson was horrendous and like the worst quarterback

822
00:43:01,719 --> 00:43:05,440
Speaker 1: that we've seen in years, and that was the missing piece.

823
00:43:05,760 --> 00:43:08,359
Speaker 1: And last week when I told you we're I'm betting

824
00:43:08,360 --> 00:43:10,480
Speaker 1: the Jets against Bears, like I was assuming that they

825
00:43:10,480 --> 00:43:12,799
Speaker 1: were gonna bench Sack Wilson, which they did. I think

826
00:43:12,800 --> 00:43:15,160
Speaker 1: that's a big rallying point to like for the locker room.

827
00:43:15,320 --> 00:43:17,880
Speaker 1: They benched him, whether it was White or Flacco that

828
00:43:17,960 --> 00:43:20,799
Speaker 1: came in, they got the win. You know, Wilson, who

829
00:43:20,880 --> 00:43:24,120
Speaker 1: just was wouldn't take accountability, and so I think that

830
00:43:24,160 --> 00:43:26,480
Speaker 1: they're going to carry this momentum over throughout the rest

831
00:43:26,520 --> 00:43:27,960
Speaker 1: of the season. That was the missing piece and they

832
00:43:27,960 --> 00:43:31,640
Speaker 1: didn't need you know, Mahomes at quarterback. They just needed someone.

833
00:43:31,680 --> 00:43:35,160
Speaker 1: It's a very like one read, quick pass, short passing offense,

834
00:43:35,800 --> 00:43:40,600
Speaker 1: and Zack Wilson couldn't complete like like against the Patients,

835
00:43:40,600 --> 00:43:43,400
Speaker 1: he couldn't complete passes into flat like. It was a

836
00:43:43,640 --> 00:43:48,280
Speaker 1: very basics stuff, um so, and that that's Mike White strength,

837
00:43:48,320 --> 00:43:50,759
Speaker 1: like just throwing you know, short pass tack. I think

838
00:43:50,800 --> 00:43:52,960
Speaker 1: last week sixty I think sixty sixty six percent of

839
00:43:53,000 --> 00:43:55,320
Speaker 1: his passes were great as short Well, the Vikings actually

840
00:43:55,360 --> 00:43:58,279
Speaker 1: are dead last in the NFL against short passes. The

841
00:43:58,280 --> 00:44:01,000
Speaker 1: defense it's very vulnerable. That's dealing with juries in the secondary.

842
00:44:01,640 --> 00:44:04,120
Speaker 1: And I think that the Jets will be able to

843
00:44:04,160 --> 00:44:06,640
Speaker 1: methodically move the ball on the Vicers. If you look

844
00:44:06,640 --> 00:44:10,400
Speaker 1: at the Vikings statistically, and you know, they they are

845
00:44:10,239 --> 00:44:13,440
Speaker 1: average to below average team just if you adjust for

846
00:44:13,520 --> 00:44:16,560
Speaker 1: opponent and that. But they've won nine one possession games

847
00:44:16,560 --> 00:44:19,239
Speaker 1: against the fairly soft schedule. They've got a lot of breaks,

848
00:44:19,239 --> 00:44:20,759
Speaker 1: They've got a lot of turnover breaks. I mean even

849
00:44:20,800 --> 00:44:23,080
Speaker 1: against the Patriots, you know you get a kick return

850
00:44:23,120 --> 00:44:24,799
Speaker 1: for a touchdown, you get that bizarre call at the

851
00:44:24,800 --> 00:44:29,200
Speaker 1: goal line, and it's they've gotten just every break possible.

852
00:44:29,640 --> 00:44:31,400
Speaker 1: They're gonna go into a law here, I think, like

853
00:44:31,440 --> 00:44:33,560
Speaker 1: I think that they got that Patriots whin there. This

854
00:44:33,640 --> 00:44:37,520
Speaker 1: division is clear and the Jets every game is so

855
00:44:37,560 --> 00:44:39,040
Speaker 1: big in the a f C because the a f

856
00:44:39,120 --> 00:44:41,719
Speaker 1: C is just absolutely loaded. But the Viking schedule coming up,

857
00:44:41,760 --> 00:44:46,800
Speaker 1: it's like, I mean, it's a joke. It's Bears, Packers, Lions, Colts.

858
00:44:46,920 --> 00:44:49,640
Speaker 1: They So I think that after that win, you could

859
00:44:49,680 --> 00:44:51,239
Speaker 1: see them. You know, the Eagles have done this too

860
00:44:51,280 --> 00:44:53,680
Speaker 1: after a hot start. But yeah, I think that the

861
00:44:53,760 --> 00:44:55,880
Speaker 1: Vikings are a little overvalued. I think the Jets the

862
00:44:55,920 --> 00:44:58,520
Speaker 1: better overall team, and I think they're gonna carry the

863
00:44:58,560 --> 00:45:01,120
Speaker 1: momentum over from last week. And what can the Jets do.

864
00:45:01,160 --> 00:45:04,640
Speaker 1: They can generate pressure without blitzing their number one in

865
00:45:04,680 --> 00:45:07,480
Speaker 1: the NFL in that category, and that's how you get

866
00:45:07,560 --> 00:45:10,480
Speaker 1: the Cousins and force them into mistakes. So h And

867
00:45:10,520 --> 00:45:12,319
Speaker 1: I also think that there's something too, you know, like

868
00:45:12,400 --> 00:45:15,720
Speaker 1: outside of the Eagles, Niners, and Cowboys, that the NFC

869
00:45:15,880 --> 00:45:19,560
Speaker 1: is is so weak, especially that that Vikings division, And

870
00:45:19,600 --> 00:45:21,480
Speaker 1: if you look at a f C underdogs this year

871
00:45:21,480 --> 00:45:24,280
Speaker 1: against the NFC. Their fourteen and seven against the spread.

872
00:45:24,800 --> 00:45:28,040
Speaker 1: So I think that some of these, you know, teams

873
00:45:28,040 --> 00:45:29,600
Speaker 1: that are a step below. You saw it with the

874
00:45:30,000 --> 00:45:34,080
Speaker 1: Bucks going to the Browns last week in the NFC. Um,

875
00:45:34,120 --> 00:45:35,759
Speaker 1: they're a little overvalue compared to the a f C

876
00:45:35,840 --> 00:45:37,200
Speaker 1: has just got Here. In the a f C, you're

877
00:45:37,200 --> 00:45:39,799
Speaker 1: going through a gauntlet, ever every single week. So yeah,

878
00:45:39,840 --> 00:45:41,759
Speaker 1: I like the Jets catching three here. I mean, look

879
00:45:41,760 --> 00:45:43,640
Speaker 1: how good the Jets division is. I mean, it's just

880
00:45:43,920 --> 00:45:47,040
Speaker 1: recording this before the Thursday night game. But obviously even

881
00:45:47,040 --> 00:45:49,319
Speaker 1: the Patriots if they lose that, I mean, they're solid team.

882
00:45:49,320 --> 00:45:52,000
Speaker 1: In the Bills or powerhouse Miami and the Jets, I

883
00:45:52,000 --> 00:45:55,480
Speaker 1: mean that's pretty clear. That's probably a three team playoff division,

884
00:45:55,560 --> 00:45:59,080
Speaker 1: right Yeah. Yeah, and uh and that Brown's you know,

885
00:45:59,080 --> 00:46:01,560
Speaker 1: Brown's get Watson back. We'll see how he looks this weekend.

886
00:46:01,600 --> 00:46:04,560
Speaker 1: But yeah, it's funny at the a s C West,

887
00:46:04,560 --> 00:46:06,520
Speaker 1: which was what everyone was talking about, is gonna be loaded,

888
00:46:06,560 --> 00:46:09,440
Speaker 1: it ends up being, uh maybe the worst division in

889
00:46:10,440 --> 00:46:14,440
Speaker 1: it's And then we'll speaking of another division that I

890
00:46:14,480 --> 00:46:15,920
Speaker 1: think we all thought it was gonna be pretty good

891
00:46:15,920 --> 00:46:18,799
Speaker 1: because I got three teams in last year. Uh, Now

892
00:46:18,800 --> 00:46:20,880
Speaker 1: it turns out Seattle is not as shitty as we

893
00:46:20,960 --> 00:46:23,840
Speaker 1: all believed. But the Rams and the Cardinals are you

894
00:46:23,840 --> 00:46:25,879
Speaker 1: mean they're destined for top ten picks. It looks like

895
00:46:26,520 --> 00:46:28,280
Speaker 1: this would have been a game. I'll be honest, I

896
00:46:28,280 --> 00:46:31,719
Speaker 1: I would not gamble on, but you told me you

897
00:46:31,800 --> 00:46:34,759
Speaker 1: liked the side here. The Rams are built like an

898
00:46:34,880 --> 00:46:37,080
Speaker 1: NBA team, and their high end players went are on

899
00:46:37,120 --> 00:46:40,759
Speaker 1: are really good. But Stafford's out, we think I would

900
00:46:40,800 --> 00:46:42,880
Speaker 1: imagine we might not see him again. Aaron Donald is

901
00:46:42,960 --> 00:46:45,760
Speaker 1: legitimately out, and obviously Cooper Cup is on injured reserve.

902
00:46:45,880 --> 00:46:48,160
Speaker 1: So those are yeah, I mean, Cooper Cup and Aaron

903
00:46:48,200 --> 00:46:50,080
Speaker 1: Donald are two of the better players in the NFL,

904
00:46:50,640 --> 00:46:55,000
Speaker 1: and Stafford's a million dollar quarterback. Um, I don't know, man,

905
00:46:55,120 --> 00:46:57,920
Speaker 1: I it's just hard for me to take the Ram seriously. Though.

906
00:46:57,920 --> 00:46:59,600
Speaker 1: They put up a little fight, I thought in the

907
00:46:59,600 --> 00:47:02,000
Speaker 1: first half last week against Kansas City. Now I also

908
00:47:02,040 --> 00:47:05,120
Speaker 1: wonder from Kansas City's perspective, like, do they have the

909
00:47:05,120 --> 00:47:07,280
Speaker 1: best week of practice when when you're going up against

910
00:47:07,719 --> 00:47:10,120
Speaker 1: you know, Bryce Perkins or whoever the hell? Their quarterback

911
00:47:10,200 --> 00:47:12,239
Speaker 1: is seven and a half for a home team though

912
00:47:12,360 --> 00:47:14,719
Speaker 1: that just won the super Bowl um is a lot

913
00:47:14,800 --> 00:47:17,440
Speaker 1: of points, but it doesn't quite be the team that

914
00:47:17,520 --> 00:47:19,040
Speaker 1: resembles the Super Bowl team. Now. The one thing with

915
00:47:19,080 --> 00:47:22,560
Speaker 1: Seattle watching that Raider game does feel like they're running

916
00:47:22,600 --> 00:47:24,400
Speaker 1: a juice a little bit. I mean, their defense is

917
00:47:24,400 --> 00:47:26,280
Speaker 1: a shell of what it was earlier in the season.

918
00:47:26,280 --> 00:47:30,960
Speaker 1: They get no pass rush. Uh you know, I don't know.

919
00:47:31,040 --> 00:47:33,239
Speaker 1: I mean Josh Jacob's on a bad calf ran for

920
00:47:33,400 --> 00:47:35,759
Speaker 1: two fifty you know, I guess two and thirty yards

921
00:47:35,800 --> 00:47:39,560
Speaker 1: or whatever. Uh you do wonder Seattle are they running

922
00:47:39,600 --> 00:47:42,040
Speaker 1: on fumes a little bit giant styled. The one thing

923
00:47:42,040 --> 00:47:44,040
Speaker 1: with Seattle different from the Giants, right is they do

924
00:47:44,160 --> 00:47:46,239
Speaker 1: have I mean a couple of wide receivers are high

925
00:47:46,320 --> 00:47:48,120
Speaker 1: end players. Keneth Walker is really good. It feels like

926
00:47:48,160 --> 00:47:50,080
Speaker 1: they have a couple more high end players in the

927
00:47:50,120 --> 00:47:52,960
Speaker 1: Giants besides, like Sae Kwon Barkley, Like, you know, who

928
00:47:52,960 --> 00:47:57,440
Speaker 1: are their elite guys beside an offensive lineman. Yeah. Look,

929
00:47:57,560 --> 00:47:59,400
Speaker 1: I played the rampstar. I like to mover touch. I

930
00:47:59,440 --> 00:48:02,960
Speaker 1: just this is a pure numbers play and I actually

931
00:48:03,160 --> 00:48:05,879
Speaker 1: funny enough. Earlier this season on Twitter, I said if

932
00:48:05,880 --> 00:48:09,279
Speaker 1: the Rams lose, I think the couple look banged up

933
00:48:09,280 --> 00:48:12,080
Speaker 1: and then Donald. Now they're actually both out. I said,

934
00:48:12,080 --> 00:48:14,160
Speaker 1: if the if the Rams lose and Stafford, by the ways,

935
00:48:14,200 --> 00:48:16,640
Speaker 1: it was a bottom five quarterback this year about it

936
00:48:16,680 --> 00:48:19,600
Speaker 1: because the offensive line didn't have like nine picks and

937
00:48:20,280 --> 00:48:24,279
Speaker 1: he was terrible. He was he was horrendous and so

938
00:48:24,360 --> 00:48:27,440
Speaker 1: but anyway, I said, if the Rams lose Cup, I

939
00:48:27,440 --> 00:48:32,080
Speaker 1: mean Cup and Donald, they're basically the Texans. Like that's

940
00:48:31,840 --> 00:48:34,600
Speaker 1: the there there. Donald's worth like two points to the spread.

941
00:48:34,880 --> 00:48:36,799
Speaker 1: He's enormous, and this is the attention that he draws

942
00:48:36,800 --> 00:48:39,120
Speaker 1: into cast that he can and that's like as big

943
00:48:39,120 --> 00:48:41,360
Speaker 1: as you'll ever have anyone that's not a quarterback be

944
00:48:41,440 --> 00:48:43,320
Speaker 1: worth to a points, but one and the half two points,

945
00:48:43,360 --> 00:48:45,920
Speaker 1: that's Aaron Donald and then obviously Cup his massive. So

946
00:48:45,920 --> 00:48:47,920
Speaker 1: they're basically the Texans. Like you can think of it here,

947
00:48:47,960 --> 00:48:50,840
Speaker 1: like you're betting on the Texans. And if the Texans

948
00:48:50,880 --> 00:48:54,320
Speaker 1: were catching seven and a half at home against the Seahawks,

949
00:48:54,320 --> 00:48:56,239
Speaker 1: I would bet the Texans. Now, the Rams have a

950
00:48:56,239 --> 00:48:58,239
Speaker 1: little better coaches stuff, and this is a divisional game,

951
00:48:58,560 --> 00:49:00,400
Speaker 1: and he said the Rams are desk for like a

952
00:49:00,440 --> 00:49:03,400
Speaker 1: top ten picks. Here's the thing. They can't tank. I mean,

953
00:49:03,440 --> 00:49:07,080
Speaker 1: what are they gonna tank the lines. They don't have

954
00:49:07,080 --> 00:49:11,200
Speaker 1: any picks. Um so yeah, I mean, look the Seahawks.

955
00:49:11,200 --> 00:49:14,320
Speaker 1: They have six hundred yards to the Raiders last week. Um,

956
00:49:14,840 --> 00:49:17,200
Speaker 1: like six hundred yards. That's like a big twelve college

957
00:49:17,200 --> 00:49:20,640
Speaker 1: football game. And yeah, so I just think this is

958
00:49:20,680 --> 00:49:23,560
Speaker 1: way too many points in a low to like. Scoring

959
00:49:23,640 --> 00:49:26,360
Speaker 1: is down across the NFL this year, home dogs catching

960
00:49:26,360 --> 00:49:28,480
Speaker 1: seven or more seven and against the spread, it's hard

961
00:49:28,520 --> 00:49:31,799
Speaker 1: to build margin. And I just cannot get to this

962
00:49:31,920 --> 00:49:34,960
Speaker 1: number you mentioned. The Seahawks don't get pressure. That's huge

963
00:49:34,960 --> 00:49:38,759
Speaker 1: against the you know a quarterback, it's good, it's gonna

964
00:49:38,760 --> 00:49:40,279
Speaker 1: be really bad, and then you just gotta hope that

965
00:49:40,320 --> 00:49:42,239
Speaker 1: he completes some passes in the flats. You gotta get

966
00:49:42,280 --> 00:49:46,960
Speaker 1: to like fourteen seventeen points here. They Rams defense like

967
00:49:47,000 --> 00:49:49,680
Speaker 1: these are still professional athletes playing for contracts, coaches still

968
00:49:49,680 --> 00:49:54,279
Speaker 1: playing for contracts. Divisional game, Um, you know they're still

969
00:49:54,320 --> 00:49:56,759
Speaker 1: gonna show up. And the Rams defense is built to

970
00:49:56,800 --> 00:49:58,239
Speaker 1: stop the run, like they've been one of the best

971
00:49:58,320 --> 00:50:00,880
Speaker 1: run defenses in the NFL this year's schematically it is

972
00:50:00,920 --> 00:50:03,080
Speaker 1: as well. So even without Donald you can they can

973
00:50:03,120 --> 00:50:06,319
Speaker 1: slow down Seattle on the ground. And if you're able

974
00:50:06,360 --> 00:50:08,160
Speaker 1: to do that. If you look at Gino Smith this year,

975
00:50:08,480 --> 00:50:10,520
Speaker 1: all of his best games are against teams that could

976
00:50:10,560 --> 00:50:12,120
Speaker 1: not stop the run. It sets up the play action.

977
00:50:12,120 --> 00:50:14,080
Speaker 1: You gotta bring safeties up, and he's you know, it's

978
00:50:14,200 --> 00:50:17,080
Speaker 1: his credit, he's sitting lots of deep passes. But so

979
00:50:17,400 --> 00:50:19,400
Speaker 1: you know, this is just too many points. And like

980
00:50:19,480 --> 00:50:22,560
Speaker 1: the Browns are bet with DeShawn Watson, We'll see what

981
00:50:22,600 --> 00:50:24,680
Speaker 1: he looks like in his first game back. Even with

982
00:50:24,719 --> 00:50:27,680
Speaker 1: the Browns with Kobe Pursett are better than the Seahawks

983
00:50:27,719 --> 00:50:30,520
Speaker 1: in my opinion, and the Browns are only like seven

984
00:50:30,520 --> 00:50:34,000
Speaker 1: at Houston. And I the Rams, even with Bryce Perkins

985
00:50:34,040 --> 00:50:36,480
Speaker 1: without Donald, without Cup are not as bad as the

986
00:50:36,480 --> 00:50:38,239
Speaker 1: Texans were the worst team in the NFL. And you

987
00:50:38,280 --> 00:50:40,320
Speaker 1: have an incentive the tank. So there's too many points.

988
00:50:40,320 --> 00:50:41,719
Speaker 1: Just as soon as this went over seven, I said,

989
00:50:41,719 --> 00:50:44,080
Speaker 1: I had to take it. Hold your nose. It's awful,

990
00:50:44,120 --> 00:50:46,319
Speaker 1: it's horrendous. I know it's ugly, and I don't blame

991
00:50:46,320 --> 00:50:47,719
Speaker 1: you if you don't want to follow, But yeah, I

992
00:50:47,760 --> 00:50:50,400
Speaker 1: bet the Rams plaut seven and a half. If we

993
00:50:50,480 --> 00:50:54,040
Speaker 1: assumed that one of these two teams has to make

994
00:50:54,080 --> 00:50:56,200
Speaker 1: the playoffs. The Giants in the Seahawks. If I said

995
00:50:56,239 --> 00:50:58,080
Speaker 1: you have to take five thousand dollars and put it

996
00:50:58,120 --> 00:51:00,239
Speaker 1: on one of the two teams, what team would bet

997
00:51:00,239 --> 00:51:04,200
Speaker 1: on to make the playoffs? I'd probably at the Seahawks

998
00:51:04,239 --> 00:51:06,080
Speaker 1: mainly just because of their schedule. I think they get

999
00:51:06,080 --> 00:51:09,120
Speaker 1: the Rams when they have the Rams twice left twice?

1000
00:51:09,160 --> 00:51:14,000
Speaker 1: What the Rams are um and the Giants believe twice

1001
00:51:14,200 --> 00:51:18,640
Speaker 1: still play a couple more divisional games and their division. Uh, Cowboys,

1002
00:51:19,120 --> 00:51:22,520
Speaker 1: it's tougher overall, play the Cowboys twice already, they play

1003
00:51:22,560 --> 00:51:25,279
Speaker 1: the Eagles again, they play the Commanders twice, and yeah,

1004
00:51:25,280 --> 00:51:29,960
Speaker 1: they're just dealing with so many injuries. So yeah, it's tough.

1005
00:51:30,000 --> 00:51:31,920
Speaker 1: I've probably been on Seattle just because of the schedule,

1006
00:51:32,120 --> 00:51:35,640
Speaker 1: So would you say that the Cowboys, Commanders? And yeah,

1007
00:51:35,719 --> 00:51:37,600
Speaker 1: I tend to agree with you when you look at

1008
00:51:37,600 --> 00:51:40,040
Speaker 1: the schedule at Seattle are the three wild card teams

1009
00:51:40,040 --> 00:51:42,560
Speaker 1: then for the NFC? Yeah, and but by the way,

1010
00:51:42,600 --> 00:51:44,719
Speaker 1: like the Seahawks, what are they sitting right now? They

1011
00:51:44,760 --> 00:51:47,680
Speaker 1: are six and five, six and five. If they lose

1012
00:51:47,760 --> 00:51:51,719
Speaker 1: this game, then no, I'd probably lean the Giants. I mean,

1013
00:51:51,719 --> 00:51:53,680
Speaker 1: if the Giants win this week, then yeah, they're gonna

1014
00:51:53,680 --> 00:51:55,440
Speaker 1: be way ahead of the Seahawks, and the Seahawks was

1015
00:51:55,480 --> 00:51:59,600
Speaker 1: this game so like to split with the Commanders, that's

1016
00:51:59,600 --> 00:52:02,880
Speaker 1: what they've Yeah, and look the Rams, this is a

1017
00:52:02,920 --> 00:52:06,720
Speaker 1: divisional opponent, like they could maybe potentially end the Seahawks

1018
00:52:06,719 --> 00:52:10,440
Speaker 1: season with a win. Here, they're still gonna care um

1019
00:52:10,480 --> 00:52:12,480
Speaker 1: and like there's not tanking, like sometimes you'll see a

1020
00:52:12,480 --> 00:52:14,800
Speaker 1: team like Lovey Smith with the Bucks tank for Jamis

1021
00:52:14,840 --> 00:52:17,880
Speaker 1: Winston back, like that's widely known. He just like started

1022
00:52:17,920 --> 00:52:20,440
Speaker 1: benching all the starters in the second quarter and to

1023
00:52:20,480 --> 00:52:22,160
Speaker 1: get the number one pick. That's in the last week.

1024
00:52:22,200 --> 00:52:24,920
Speaker 1: But as I said, this is divisual game in week thirteen,

1025
00:52:24,960 --> 00:52:27,400
Speaker 1: and the Rams have nothing to tank for, like zero,

1026
00:52:27,800 --> 00:52:30,799
Speaker 1: they don't pick. I agree. I saw Sean Payton say

1027
00:52:30,800 --> 00:52:33,239
Speaker 1: that coward. He's like, you know, tanking has taken place

1028
00:52:33,280 --> 00:52:36,279
Speaker 1: in this league. I don't count the last game of

1029
00:52:36,320 --> 00:52:40,200
Speaker 1: the season. Nobody tanks a month like the NBA. They

1030
00:52:40,320 --> 00:52:42,719
Speaker 1: tank for half the season in the end of more,

1031
00:52:43,280 --> 00:52:45,200
Speaker 1: if you want to take the last game, that's a

1032
00:52:45,239 --> 00:52:48,919
Speaker 1: business decision. If you're taking starting December one, like, yeah,

1033
00:52:49,000 --> 00:52:51,960
Speaker 1: that's a problem, but that never happens. It's why every

1034
00:52:51,960 --> 00:52:55,320
Speaker 1: single fucking year we see these crazy upsets on Monday

1035
00:52:55,440 --> 00:52:58,600
Speaker 1: Night football, on Thursday Night football. It happens all the time.

1036
00:52:59,000 --> 00:53:01,680
Speaker 1: Nobody tanks had the last game, and I can't blame

1037
00:53:01,719 --> 00:53:03,600
Speaker 1: anyone for not carrying the last game when you have

1038
00:53:03,680 --> 00:53:06,520
Speaker 1: three wins. Yeah, but but then even if if you

1039
00:53:06,600 --> 00:53:09,200
Speaker 1: look the if you look historically, and we'll talk about

1040
00:53:09,200 --> 00:53:11,200
Speaker 1: this in Week eight teen. Historically, one of my favorite

1041
00:53:11,200 --> 00:53:14,480
Speaker 1: bets is in the last week of the regular season

1042
00:53:14,800 --> 00:53:17,319
Speaker 1: when these teams that are eliminated are playing teams that

1043
00:53:17,400 --> 00:53:19,520
Speaker 1: need to win, either to have a chance in the

1044
00:53:19,520 --> 00:53:22,719
Speaker 1: class or to get in the last year. Yeah, the

1045
00:53:22,840 --> 00:53:25,439
Speaker 1: lines are always inflated and like it's a chance for

1046
00:53:25,680 --> 00:53:27,640
Speaker 1: you know, one team is playing tight well the pressure

1047
00:53:27,760 --> 00:53:29,319
Speaker 1: and the other teams like, oh wait, we've been dead

1048
00:53:29,320 --> 00:53:31,160
Speaker 1: for weeks now. This is kind of like our playoff game.

1049
00:53:31,640 --> 00:53:33,760
Speaker 1: And I love betting those teams. So in the NFL

1050
00:53:34,280 --> 00:53:36,799
Speaker 1: you rarely get it. Um so, yeah, I think the

1051
00:53:36,880 --> 00:53:40,040
Speaker 1: Rams show up here and it's ugly, but well, hopefully

1052
00:53:40,040 --> 00:53:42,640
Speaker 1: they stayed with him a touchdown. Uh. This is probably

1053
00:53:42,680 --> 00:53:45,560
Speaker 1: the game of the week, given that it's the rematch

1054
00:53:46,560 --> 00:53:49,160
Speaker 1: of the a f C championship game. The players are

1055
00:53:49,160 --> 00:53:52,799
Speaker 1: talking ship to each other on on Twitter. Uh. You know,

1056
00:53:52,840 --> 00:53:56,080
Speaker 1: obviously Mahome's best quarterback in the league, Burrows top five

1057
00:53:56,719 --> 00:54:00,880
Speaker 1: and just a star. The Cincinnati's really humming now, Uh,

1058
00:54:01,040 --> 00:54:03,800
Speaker 1: Kansas Cities really kind of flex their muscles. Is probably

1059
00:54:03,840 --> 00:54:05,239
Speaker 1: the best team in the league. You know, I would

1060
00:54:05,239 --> 00:54:07,360
Speaker 1: say the last couple of months, this is just a

1061
00:54:07,400 --> 00:54:10,879
Speaker 1: fantastic game, you know. And you would say Cincinnati's still

1062
00:54:10,880 --> 00:54:13,480
Speaker 1: trying to get their swag back from starting slow, even

1063
00:54:13,520 --> 00:54:14,839
Speaker 1: though I guess they've been hot now for a couple

1064
00:54:14,880 --> 00:54:16,239
Speaker 1: of months, and that this is a big game to

1065
00:54:16,280 --> 00:54:18,920
Speaker 1: me for Kansas City. I was like, fuck you guys.

1066
00:54:19,200 --> 00:54:21,719
Speaker 1: You know last year, I mean that that was the

1067
00:54:21,719 --> 00:54:25,600
Speaker 1: worst half maybe of the Mahomes Read era against a

1068
00:54:25,680 --> 00:54:29,040
Speaker 1: credible opponent, right, especially when you factor in what was

1069
00:54:29,120 --> 00:54:32,920
Speaker 1: on the line. So I I'd be stunned. No one

1070
00:54:33,000 --> 00:54:35,640
Speaker 1: coach Read and the team he has if they don't

1071
00:54:35,640 --> 00:54:38,440
Speaker 1: come out guns blazon in this game. I love the

1072
00:54:38,480 --> 00:54:41,000
Speaker 1: Chiefs in this butt Yeah, I love the Chiefs. So

1073
00:54:41,000 --> 00:54:42,840
Speaker 1: I had the spot circle, as I'm sure the Chiefs

1074
00:54:42,840 --> 00:54:46,040
Speaker 1: did right when the schedules came out, and look at

1075
00:54:46,160 --> 00:54:47,880
Speaker 1: this is they don't they do only don't have revenge

1076
00:54:47,880 --> 00:54:50,839
Speaker 1: just for the playoff game. They also lost that since

1077
00:54:50,880 --> 00:54:54,400
Speaker 1: he in last year when they were up two touchdowns

1078
00:54:54,400 --> 00:54:56,279
Speaker 1: again in the second half and then there was all

1079
00:54:56,320 --> 00:54:58,400
Speaker 1: these calls later and since you able to run the

1080
00:54:58,400 --> 00:55:01,160
Speaker 1: clock down, I remember them kick a field goal at

1081
00:55:01,200 --> 00:55:03,160
Speaker 1: the goal line. Wasn't at the moment at the end

1082
00:55:03,239 --> 00:55:05,160
Speaker 1: at the goal line where they went for two or

1083
00:55:05,200 --> 00:55:08,640
Speaker 1: they kept going for touchdowns. I got like seven shots, yes, yes,

1084
00:55:08,800 --> 00:55:10,640
Speaker 1: and then they were able to just kneel it on

1085
00:55:10,800 --> 00:55:12,680
Speaker 1: first and goal until the clock run. Now they don't

1086
00:55:12,680 --> 00:55:15,040
Speaker 1: think the ball back and goes to kick a field goal. Um,

1087
00:55:15,080 --> 00:55:17,280
Speaker 1: it was a wild game. But yeah, the the Chiefs

1088
00:55:17,320 --> 00:55:19,560
Speaker 1: have had this game circle. I mean, let the eli

1089
00:55:19,640 --> 00:55:22,799
Speaker 1: apple all the corners were talking after that game. And

1090
00:55:23,040 --> 00:55:25,320
Speaker 1: what the Bengals did last year and it worked, is

1091
00:55:25,360 --> 00:55:27,680
Speaker 1: they just the second half they dropped eight and it

1092
00:55:27,760 --> 00:55:31,160
Speaker 1: completely just threw Mahomes off his game. They stopped blitzing

1093
00:55:31,560 --> 00:55:33,839
Speaker 1: and they just said be patient, and he wasn't able

1094
00:55:33,840 --> 00:55:35,360
Speaker 1: to and then he got flustered and then everything just

1095
00:55:35,360 --> 00:55:38,799
Speaker 1: went downhill. Well, you know the Chiefs, and I say

1096
00:55:38,840 --> 00:55:40,239
Speaker 1: this a lot of why I like to faithe them

1097
00:55:40,280 --> 00:55:42,719
Speaker 1: sometimes his favorites at home. They don't like to show

1098
00:55:42,760 --> 00:55:44,440
Speaker 1: a lot in games that they know they're gonna win,

1099
00:55:45,080 --> 00:55:46,840
Speaker 1: and they kind of just will build their lead and

1100
00:55:46,840 --> 00:55:48,880
Speaker 1: then they know that they can coast from there. And

1101
00:55:48,920 --> 00:55:51,040
Speaker 1: they're not a team that generally piles it on and les.

1102
00:55:51,080 --> 00:55:53,440
Speaker 1: They're just humming, like when and when if they're humming

1103
00:55:53,440 --> 00:55:55,879
Speaker 1: in this game, like everything is right, you can't keep

1104
00:55:55,960 --> 00:55:58,160
Speaker 1: up with them. Happens like once every couple of months.

1105
00:55:58,520 --> 00:56:01,840
Speaker 1: But they're gonna have I mean, they've been designing plays

1106
00:56:01,880 --> 00:56:04,120
Speaker 1: for what I'm assuming the Bengals are gonna do again

1107
00:56:04,640 --> 00:56:06,840
Speaker 1: for all of off season. And they played the Rams

1108
00:56:06,840 --> 00:56:09,880
Speaker 1: with Bryce Perkins last week while the Bengals play the Titans.

1109
00:56:10,120 --> 00:56:12,719
Speaker 1: So you bet you're asked. The read spent that a

1110
00:56:12,760 --> 00:56:14,920
Speaker 1: lot of that week preparing for this game while the

1111
00:56:14,960 --> 00:56:18,200
Speaker 1: Bengals had almost a must win at Tennessee. And yeah,

1112
00:56:18,239 --> 00:56:19,960
Speaker 1: I mean, anytimes you can get my homes just to

1113
00:56:20,040 --> 00:56:22,719
Speaker 1: win a game in the regular season, he's the chiefs

1114
00:56:22,719 --> 00:56:26,120
Speaker 1: of one straight in November and December. I'm there and

1115
00:56:26,239 --> 00:56:28,680
Speaker 1: my Homes is seventeen five and one against the spread

1116
00:56:28,840 --> 00:56:31,720
Speaker 1: as either an underdog or a favorite of under three points.

1117
00:56:31,760 --> 00:56:35,160
Speaker 1: It's like the old Brady, when Brady was a dog

1118
00:56:35,320 --> 00:56:37,120
Speaker 1: or just a favorite of two two and a half

1119
00:56:37,719 --> 00:56:40,759
Speaker 1: and you just need him to win. I'll trust him

1120
00:56:40,760 --> 00:56:42,399
Speaker 1: with my money that he's gonna find a way to win.

1121
00:56:42,840 --> 00:56:44,799
Speaker 1: If he's a favorite of like over seven, sometimes that's

1122
00:56:44,800 --> 00:56:46,880
Speaker 1: when you could look to fade Brady, same with Mahomes.

1123
00:56:47,200 --> 00:56:50,120
Speaker 1: So yeah, I think the Chiefs have had this game circled.

1124
00:56:50,560 --> 00:56:53,759
Speaker 1: They have They're gonna unleash all of the like the

1125
00:56:54,120 --> 00:56:57,000
Speaker 1: best Chiefs plays you're gonna see throughout. This game should

1126
00:56:57,000 --> 00:56:59,640
Speaker 1: be close. Barrow, we'll we'll put up a good fight.

1127
00:56:59,680 --> 00:57:01,439
Speaker 1: But I just think that she's basically win this game.

1128
00:57:01,920 --> 00:57:04,440
Speaker 1: Give me Mahomes here in this spot. Yeah, that first

1129
00:57:04,440 --> 00:57:06,680
Speaker 1: half to last year in the a f C Championship game,

1130
00:57:07,000 --> 00:57:09,960
Speaker 1: I mean Mahomes was having one of his classic performances. Right,

1131
00:57:10,040 --> 00:57:11,720
Speaker 1: It felt like he was on pace for like seven

1132
00:57:11,719 --> 00:57:14,160
Speaker 1: touchdowns and then they blew it at the end of

1133
00:57:14,200 --> 00:57:15,840
Speaker 1: the half and then he can't. They came out and

1134
00:57:15,880 --> 00:57:17,720
Speaker 1: they looked like the Texans or something in the same.

1135
00:57:17,760 --> 00:57:19,360
Speaker 1: It was the It was honestly one of the more

1136
00:57:19,360 --> 00:57:21,320
Speaker 1: bizarre things if you're a sports fan that you've seen

1137
00:57:21,360 --> 00:57:24,520
Speaker 1: in recent memory. Right, Yeah, I had the I had

1138
00:57:24,600 --> 00:57:27,560
Speaker 1: the Bengals, and I said, it's twenty one ten Chiefs

1139
00:57:27,920 --> 00:57:31,160
Speaker 1: and they're at the goal line, and then Mahomes would

1140
00:57:31,160 --> 00:57:33,360
Speaker 1: would have two shots at the end zone and he

1141
00:57:33,800 --> 00:57:37,360
Speaker 1: drops back and he inexplicably just throws it to Tyreek,

1142
00:57:37,400 --> 00:57:39,120
Speaker 1: which I mean, I guess in hindsight's not the worst

1143
00:57:39,160 --> 00:57:40,520
Speaker 1: thing you can do. But he gets tackled at the

1144
00:57:40,560 --> 00:57:42,880
Speaker 1: four and the clock runs out. I with a Bengals

1145
00:57:42,880 --> 00:57:45,560
Speaker 1: stad the Bengals plus seven half, the Chiefs get the

1146
00:57:45,600 --> 00:57:48,560
Speaker 1: ball to start the second half. Mahomes at the goal line.

1147
00:57:49,080 --> 00:57:52,000
Speaker 1: I'm saying to myself, it's gonna be thirty five to

1148
00:57:52,160 --> 00:57:56,880
Speaker 1: ten in about twenty five minutes. Crazy that the Bengals

1149
00:57:56,880 --> 00:57:58,440
Speaker 1: were able to come back and it all started on

1150
00:57:58,480 --> 00:58:02,160
Speaker 1: that play. So yeah, uh, I think this is a

1151
00:58:02,200 --> 00:58:06,200
Speaker 1: classic Chief spot. Do you think the Bengals? You know, again,

1152
00:58:06,200 --> 00:58:08,200
Speaker 1: we're doing this before the Bills, and you know, when

1153
00:58:08,200 --> 00:58:11,040
Speaker 1: they're healthy, they're pretty damn good. But is it just

1154
00:58:11,080 --> 00:58:14,240
Speaker 1: a lock that is Chiefs Bills in the championship game

1155
00:58:14,360 --> 00:58:17,080
Speaker 1: or you know, the Bengals if somehow they were to

1156
00:58:17,120 --> 00:58:18,920
Speaker 1: win this game. I mean, do you think they are

1157
00:58:18,960 --> 00:58:22,120
Speaker 1: a legit foe? With everything I mean I saw yesterday

1158
00:58:22,200 --> 00:58:24,919
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson left practice, including the Ravens are just having

1159
00:58:24,960 --> 00:58:28,280
Speaker 1: a weird season. Um, and I know you're a Ravens guy,

1160
00:58:28,480 --> 00:58:30,960
Speaker 1: would you say Cincinnati's the third best team? Even I

1161
00:58:31,240 --> 00:58:36,120
Speaker 1: know they just beat Tennessee. But yeah, it depends the

1162
00:58:36,480 --> 00:58:39,760
Speaker 1: Ravens are they have to get there, like their run

1163
00:58:39,800 --> 00:58:42,400
Speaker 1: game going Jackson's to get healthy. But if it's if

1164
00:58:42,400 --> 00:58:44,320
Speaker 1: there's like weather, that's the team you don't want to

1165
00:58:44,320 --> 00:58:48,360
Speaker 1: play outdoors. And the NADIS games are gonna be almost

1166
00:58:48,400 --> 00:58:51,040
Speaker 1: every every team that's gonna be hosting games in the

1167
00:58:51,080 --> 00:58:54,240
Speaker 1: n C claus is gonna be outdoors. So the Ravens

1168
00:58:54,280 --> 00:58:55,840
Speaker 1: and their defense and look as a team that's led

1169
00:58:55,840 --> 00:58:57,720
Speaker 1: by I think seven of tendant every fourth quarter of

1170
00:58:57,720 --> 00:58:59,960
Speaker 1: this year, so they're dangerous and put on the second

1171
00:59:04,200 --> 00:59:08,360
Speaker 1: sorry to cough, um happens, yeah, the but but yeah,

1172
00:59:08,360 --> 00:59:10,160
Speaker 1: I think the Bengals with their offense, like if you

1173
00:59:10,160 --> 00:59:12,480
Speaker 1: have to go toe to toe with Alan or Mahomes,

1174
00:59:12,640 --> 00:59:14,959
Speaker 1: you would want my Homes in that offense with Chase

1175
00:59:15,000 --> 00:59:16,920
Speaker 1: health and the defense is formidable enough so if they

1176
00:59:16,960 --> 00:59:19,040
Speaker 1: get hot and you know their offensive line, which was

1177
00:59:19,080 --> 00:59:22,120
Speaker 1: their liability last year, you know it's gets getting better

1178
00:59:22,200 --> 00:59:25,960
Speaker 1: over time. Yeah, that they're probably the most dangerous team.

1179
00:59:26,080 --> 00:59:29,080
Speaker 1: Their schedule is very tough. So the Bengals, they needed

1180
00:59:29,120 --> 00:59:31,720
Speaker 1: that game last week against Tennessee. They have the hardest

1181
00:59:31,720 --> 00:59:33,880
Speaker 1: schedule remaining in the NFL. And the FCS we talked

1182
00:59:33,880 --> 00:59:36,280
Speaker 1: about is loaded. So they lose this weekend, which I

1183
00:59:36,280 --> 00:59:39,600
Speaker 1: think they do, They're gonna have some big games coming up. Um,

1184
00:59:39,680 --> 00:59:41,520
Speaker 1: you know you're gonna have to play the Browns with Watson.

1185
00:59:41,600 --> 00:59:44,439
Speaker 1: Later you play, you have to go play the Ravens again.

1186
00:59:44,440 --> 00:59:46,760
Speaker 1: Their schedule is brutal, so if they can get in

1187
00:59:46,800 --> 00:59:49,240
Speaker 1: and get a good position, yeah, the Bills will figure

1188
00:59:49,280 --> 00:59:51,120
Speaker 1: it out. They just have so many injuries right now.

1189
00:59:51,320 --> 00:59:52,840
Speaker 1: We'll see if they can get healthy. But yeah, the

1190
00:59:52,920 --> 00:59:55,840
Speaker 1: fc IS is loaded. It's gonna be fun. Well, Stucky

1191
00:59:56,080 --> 00:59:58,600
Speaker 1: get better. I will try to do the same. Suck

1192
00:59:58,680 --> 01:00:02,920
Speaker 1: down some vitamins and uh, you know, want some money,

1193
01:00:03,000 --> 01:00:27,840
Speaker 1: absolutely because ucks weekend letter bro the volume
