13
00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:50,080
Speaker 1: for joining us. All right, it's starting to sort itself out.

14
00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:53,479
Speaker 1: We don't want to waste any time here. We do

15
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:57,240
Speaker 1: it every Monday. Where Colin was right, where Colin was wrong,

16
00:00:57,440 --> 00:01:02,320
Speaker 1: and let's strip it where Colin was right. Well, I

17
00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:06,200
Speaker 1: picked Denver to win the AFC West. I said Kansas

18
00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:09,440
Speaker 1: City would be good, but a wildcard team. And you know,

19
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:12,600
Speaker 1: I love bon Knicks and I thought yesterday, especially on

20
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:16,200
Speaker 1: that last drive, Bo Knicks looked like the veteran quarterback.

21
00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:18,640
Speaker 1: I just think Denver's got a better roster right now.

22
00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:21,440
Speaker 1: I didn't think that two years ago. But Chris Jones

23
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:23,800
Speaker 1: is not playing at the level he was a couple

24
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:25,959
Speaker 1: of years ago, So I was right on that.

25
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:26,800
Speaker 2: I didn't think it was.

26
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:29,400
Speaker 1: A controversial take when I said Denver's going to win

27
00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:31,920
Speaker 1: this division and Kansas City will finish second.

28
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:33,839
Speaker 2: Where Colin was wrong.

29
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:36,640
Speaker 1: But I've been higher on the Chiefs than almost everybody

30
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:39,959
Speaker 1: else at this network because Andy and Brett Veach and

31
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:44,480
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes, the three teams they're battling for a wild

32
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:47,720
Speaker 1: card spot have all beaten them, The Chargers, the Jags,

33
00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:50,240
Speaker 1: and the Bills, and they're all in five and one

34
00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:53,440
Speaker 1: score games, and I just don't think their defense feels

35
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:57,160
Speaker 1: is intimidating. And I think Patrick Mahomes is still remarkable.

36
00:01:57,640 --> 00:01:59,400
Speaker 1: That's not a very good pick. And I think in

37
00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:02,360
Speaker 1: the last couple of years it's feels like Josh Allen's

38
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:06,040
Speaker 1: more dynamic. So I've been a little higher on Kansas City,

39
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:09,359
Speaker 1: maybe because I've seen them turn it around and had

40
00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:12,359
Speaker 1: sluggish two or three game spots, but I don't think

41
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:12,880
Speaker 1: they're in a.

42
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:15,840
Speaker 2: Good spot right now. Where Colin was right.

43
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:20,720
Speaker 1: I said week one, I said Ben Johnson's the right coach.

44
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:23,800
Speaker 1: You can talk about Caleb, but what I see from

45
00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:26,880
Speaker 1: Ben Johnson, I see what I saw in Detroit. He's

46
00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:29,320
Speaker 1: going to clean it up. The Bears are five and

47
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:32,000
Speaker 1: one in one score games, and I don't think what

48
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:35,640
Speaker 1: I said as a revelation, but it became very crystal

49
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:40,000
Speaker 1: clear by week two, three and four that the identity

50
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:41,919
Speaker 1: of the team was not going to beat Caleb.

51
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:43,600
Speaker 2: It was going to be Ben.

52
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:48,280
Speaker 1: Johnson, precision, a run game, and an interior old line

53
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:51,720
Speaker 1: that they bought in the offseason. I've also always said

54
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:58,160
Speaker 1: young quarterbacks are better with young offensive coaches. Once again,

55
00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:03,960
Speaker 1: Lafleur with Jordan Love helped McVay with a young golf help.

56
00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:09,760
Speaker 1: Ben Johnson with Caleb has become crucial where Colin was wrong.

57
00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:12,280
Speaker 1: Maybe I'm a little tough on brock Party. I thought

58
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:16,200
Speaker 1: he was great yesterday, having not played for a couple

59
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:19,440
Speaker 1: of months. He and George Kittle are money together when

60
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:24,000
Speaker 1: they connect. Kittle and brock Purty have a one forty

61
00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:30,040
Speaker 1: one career passer rating yesterday, three touchdowns accurate. They're able

62
00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:33,239
Speaker 1: to move the pocket, good in the red zone. Listen,

63
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:36,400
Speaker 1: he adds mobility. I'm kind of tough on him, but

64
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:38,680
Speaker 1: I thought yesterday he kind of blew me away.

65
00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:40,600
Speaker 2: Where Colin was right.

66
00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:43,800
Speaker 1: The one quarterback in the twenty twenty four class I

67
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:46,640
Speaker 1: was skeptical of with JJ McCarthy, and I kept saying,

68
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:50,080
Speaker 1: what's the wow trade, folks. He's got a sixty two

69
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:52,720
Speaker 1: passer rating that's the worst of any starter in the league.

70
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:57,880
Speaker 1: And Justin Jefferson is disappearing slowly and his body language

71
00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:00,440
Speaker 1: is telling you he's not taken it well. I just

72
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:05,520
Speaker 1: think trust your eyes. Does a quarterback feel a little overwhelmed?

73
00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:09,040
Speaker 1: His body language, his feet. I think he's got a

74
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:12,800
Speaker 1: good enough arm. I think he moves well enough. But

75
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:17,360
Speaker 1: his misses are confidence misses, and I think that tells

76
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:21,600
Speaker 1: you right now he's not sure of JJ McCarthy, and

77
00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:24,080
Speaker 1: he was the one quarterback I just didn't get.

78
00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:28,039
Speaker 2: And so far I'm right where Colin was wrong.

79
00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:31,520
Speaker 1: I didn't think Brent Venables was the best pick in Oklahoma,

80
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:35,120
Speaker 1: and I didn't think Oklahoma would be that great in

81
00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:38,400
Speaker 1: the SEC. I was wrong on both counts. They have

82
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:42,000
Speaker 1: allowed the fewest points in the SEC. It's the mess

83
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:45,720
Speaker 1: defense in the conference. Venables has created an identity. He

84
00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:48,440
Speaker 1: went and found a great quarterback but I mean, they've

85
00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 1: beaten Bamnon back to back years and were the better

86
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:54,720
Speaker 1: team and forced them into uncharacteristic mistakes.

87
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:56,880
Speaker 2: So, you know what, I.

88
00:04:56,880 --> 00:05:00,680
Speaker 1: Thought Texas would be the better of the two Big

89
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:04,279
Speaker 1: twelve teams going to the SEC. But I don't know

90
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:08,160
Speaker 1: what Texas's identity is. I know what Oklahoma's is. They

91
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:10,839
Speaker 1: are physical, they are tough. They got a little bit

92
00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:13,119
Speaker 1: of a Georgia field to him. And I was wrong

93
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:16,920
Speaker 1: where Colin was right. I did not like Detroit when

94
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:21,039
Speaker 1: Ben Johnson left. Hiring somebody in the building make it

95
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:25,719
Speaker 1: a global search. Well, the Lions defense. In three of

96
00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:29,560
Speaker 1: Detroit's losses, they've scored thirteen, seventeen and nine points. I'm

97
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:32,400
Speaker 1: sorry with that offensive line and those backs and those receivers.

98
00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:33,320
Speaker 2: That's not good enough.

99
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:38,159
Speaker 1: They're down in third down percentage, rushing, passing yards per play.

100
00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:40,640
Speaker 2: They're not even good on fourth down.

101
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:44,680
Speaker 1: Right now, I think when you lose an elite coach

102
00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:48,600
Speaker 1: or a coordinator, don't just look inside the building. You

103
00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:52,000
Speaker 1: gotta go open your eyes up to every candidate in

104
00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:52,640
Speaker 1: the country.

105
00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:55,119
Speaker 2: I think I was right on that with Detroit. Where

106
00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:56,159
Speaker 2: Colin was right.

107
00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:59,800
Speaker 1: I had said multiple times this year I had heard

108
00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:03,000
Speaker 1: that Brian Kelly just didn't want to grind anymore, and

109
00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:05,000
Speaker 1: he may have taken that LSU.

110
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:05,680
Speaker 2: Job for the money.

111
00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:09,800
Speaker 1: What do you know, Bruce Feldman reporting he cashed out,

112
00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:13,520
Speaker 1: spent more time golfing than around the building. I had

113
00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:17,600
Speaker 1: two people tell me in the last calendar year that

114
00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:20,320
Speaker 1: you know what it happens, You get into your sixties

115
00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:23,800
Speaker 1: and you kind of lose the drive, and he didn't

116
00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:26,559
Speaker 1: really have it. That was an opportunity to make some money.

117
00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:30,040
Speaker 1: He's been a great coach. I don't necessarily hold it

118
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:33,120
Speaker 1: against him. I hope it doesn't happen to me. But

119
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:36,560
Speaker 1: what I had heard from two people I trust turned

120
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:40,160
Speaker 1: out to be true, and Bruce Feldman's reporting doubled down

121
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:43,320
Speaker 1: on that. Colin right, Colin wrong. And with that, Matt

122
00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:46,520
Speaker 1: Hasselbeck every Monday eighteen years in the NFL.

123
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:48,159
Speaker 2: So it's funny.

124
00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:48,960
Speaker 3: Look at you.

125
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:52,200
Speaker 4: You're in Chicago now just cashing checks, not doing the grind.

126
00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:57,800
Speaker 1: I'm cashing checks so I could buy another Winner coat,

127
00:06:57,960 --> 00:06:59,240
Speaker 1: is what I'm doing with my money.

128
00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:02,520
Speaker 3: So end boots and boots.

129
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:03,160
Speaker 2: Yeah.

130
00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:06,000
Speaker 1: So Kansas City's five and five, and you can really

131
00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:08,240
Speaker 1: go two ways on it. But the one thing that

132
00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:10,720
Speaker 1: jumps out to me, Matt is when Chris Jones a

133
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:13,320
Speaker 1: couple of years ago had an Aaron Donald field, where

134
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:14,880
Speaker 1: like they just moved him around the line and you.

135
00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:16,040
Speaker 2: Couldn't block him.

136
00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:19,160
Speaker 1: He's not that now, and I don't think the defense

137
00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:22,920
Speaker 1: fields as fast or as intimidating. I wish I could

138
00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:26,840
Speaker 1: be more positive, but I don't love what I see.

139
00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:29,000
Speaker 2: I felt at the end of that game.

140
00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:32,120
Speaker 1: I'm like, I thought Denver was controlling Kansas City, they

141
00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:35,200
Speaker 1: were controlling the clock, they had better weapons. That's what

142
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:38,320
Speaker 1: it felt like to me. What say you, Well, it

143
00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:39,960
Speaker 1: was a great game. The game could have gone either way.

144
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:41,680
Speaker 1: And I feel like that was their season last year.

145
00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:44,920
Speaker 1: They just won all those close games last year. You know,

146
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:46,120
Speaker 1: that's really what happened.

147
00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:46,760
Speaker 3: Early in the year.

148
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:49,160
Speaker 4: They just said, oh, they don't have their wide receivers

149
00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:51,320
Speaker 4: and that's the problem. But I think if you really

150
00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:53,520
Speaker 4: look at it, I think turnover margin is a thing.

151
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:55,480
Speaker 4: You mentioned Chris Jones and what he used to be

152
00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:59,520
Speaker 4: just wreaking havoc up front that created turnovers for their defense.

153
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:01,080
Speaker 3: Turnover margins a thing.

154
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:02,680
Speaker 4: But I think if I were to point to one thing,

155
00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:06,600
Speaker 4: everyone else has just gotten better. Like the Denver Broncos

156
00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:08,720
Speaker 4: are way better. Bo Nix is better than what the

157
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:11,240
Speaker 4: Chiefs used to have to go up against. And I

158
00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:13,880
Speaker 4: think that's the thing. No different this Weeklex, Listen, do

159
00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:15,200
Speaker 4: you believe in the Chiefs come play?

160
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:16,000
Speaker 3: Are they a playoff team?

161
00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:16,280
Speaker 5: Yeah?

162
00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:18,720
Speaker 4: Probably a playoff team. Do you believe in them? Can

163
00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:19,320
Speaker 4: they go on the road?

164
00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:19,640
Speaker 6: Yeah?

165
00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:22,000
Speaker 4: But like now they're going to They got the Colts

166
00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:24,160
Speaker 4: this week. They got the Colts this week. Colts are better,

167
00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:26,840
Speaker 4: Like everyone's better. So just doing what you've always done

168
00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:29,000
Speaker 4: isn't gonna work for Kansas City. They got to find

169
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:32,040
Speaker 4: ways to win these close games against better competition.

170
00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:35,840
Speaker 1: Now, you know Caleb and bo Nicks I said this

171
00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:40,360
Speaker 1: last week, They're durable, They're inconsistent, they're uneven, but both

172
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:45,440
Speaker 1: feel pretty confident late. It's almost like Bo is hard

173
00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:47,800
Speaker 1: on himself and it's kind of tough on himself and

174
00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:50,320
Speaker 1: comes in a little anxious and lightens up as the

175
00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:52,720
Speaker 1: game goes. What did you make of his last drive?

176
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:54,599
Speaker 1: Was it a play calling drive to you or a

177
00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:55,400
Speaker 1: quarterback drive?

178
00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:58,160
Speaker 4: Yeah? No, it was a quarterback drive and it was

179
00:08:58,160 --> 00:08:59,480
Speaker 4: a quarterback play that won the game.

180
00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:00,880
Speaker 3: I don't see those two quarterbacks.

181
00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:03,200
Speaker 4: Similarly, I think bo Nicks is more in that Drake

182
00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:05,800
Speaker 4: may category. I know people are hard on him. I

183
00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:08,800
Speaker 4: see things critiquing him. I don't see it. Bonnicks is

184
00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:11,280
Speaker 4: a baller, He's a sure thing. He is absolutely their

185
00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:14,760
Speaker 4: franchise quarterback now and for the future, no doubt. The

186
00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:17,040
Speaker 4: corner route I think that you're showing there right now

187
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:19,960
Speaker 4: that is not open. He is completely covered. It was

188
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:22,800
Speaker 4: a what quarterbacks calling us or nobody throw. We either

189
00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:25,280
Speaker 4: catch it or nobody catches it. The ball's not in

190
00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:27,520
Speaker 4: harm's way, and that sealed the game. It was kind

191
00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:30,520
Speaker 4: of a Mahomes esque type play. You go above the

192
00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:32,800
Speaker 4: x's and o's. It's a great call by spags in

193
00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:35,560
Speaker 4: the Kansas City Chiefs, it's great coverage by the defense.

194
00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:38,240
Speaker 4: It's a better throw and defensive backs they'll say it

195
00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:41,000
Speaker 4: in their meeting rooms also, they'll say, you know what,

196
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:43,840
Speaker 4: there's no defense, there's no coverage for a perfect throw.

197
00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:46,280
Speaker 4: We did what we could do. The quarterback just beat

198
00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:47,880
Speaker 4: us there. You got to tip your cap to them,

199
00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:50,320
Speaker 4: and that's what bo Nicks did. And like you mentioned,

200
00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:53,280
Speaker 4: it's in clutch, critical moments that he's doing it. I'm

201
00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:55,560
Speaker 4: a believer of Bonnicks have been and continue to be.

202
00:09:56,360 --> 00:10:01,720
Speaker 1: So listen, Ramseeahawks and Luck had a quality that I loved.

203
00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:04,240
Speaker 1: He could throw back to back terrible picks and he

204
00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:07,400
Speaker 1: didn't care. He had a short memory. Sam's got a

205
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:09,880
Speaker 1: little bit of that where you're like, Sam doesn't care.

206
00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:12,800
Speaker 1: Sam's a playmaker and he's just gonna let it rip.

207
00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:16,400
Speaker 1: I thought yesterday he saw things late. When I watched it,

208
00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:20,679
Speaker 1: I'm like, Oh, he's just not crisp. Did you ever

209
00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:23,560
Speaker 1: get into those games where you weren't seeing it? You

210
00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:26,800
Speaker 1: have a pick, but your team needs you, and and

211
00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:30,480
Speaker 1: talk about the psychology, have a bad Sunday, But yet

212
00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:33,760
Speaker 1: that last drive you can't pouty the balls at the

213
00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:35,840
Speaker 1: one you got to drive and get a field goal.

214
00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:37,440
Speaker 2: Have you been in games like that?

215
00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:38,360
Speaker 5: Yeah?

216
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:40,040
Speaker 4: It was an interesting one. I just you know, he's

217
00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:41,319
Speaker 4: a great player and it's had a great year. He

218
00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:43,440
Speaker 4: had a terrible game, and you know, if he just

219
00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:45,840
Speaker 4: throws three interceptions instead of four, they probably win the game.

220
00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:48,920
Speaker 4: But four interceptions cost them the opportunity and the best

221
00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:51,240
Speaker 4: pun I've ever seen in my life by the Rams.

222
00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:52,120
Speaker 4: That was another thing.

223
00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:54,520
Speaker 3: But I think for me, what I see in him.

224
00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:57,520
Speaker 4: That I have felt is that you're so see sped up,

225
00:10:57,840 --> 00:10:59,880
Speaker 4: you know, Jared Vers and the pass rush it was

226
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:02,360
Speaker 4: pretty legit and he was sped up, and then his

227
00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:04,959
Speaker 4: elbow was down low and then he's balls are getting

228
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:07,440
Speaker 4: tipped that normally wouldn't get tipped, and he was just

229
00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:08,280
Speaker 4: a little bit rushed.

230
00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:10,439
Speaker 3: It was quick to get to his checkdown because one, two,

231
00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:11,160
Speaker 3: three aren't open.

232
00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:13,559
Speaker 4: I'm get getting to number four, Well guess what was

233
00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:15,880
Speaker 4: number four open? Like that you need to actually make

234
00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:18,440
Speaker 4: that decision too. But you're so sped up because the

235
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:20,600
Speaker 4: defense is doing such a good job with their pass

236
00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:23,160
Speaker 4: rush and that, and that's what I think happened. I

237
00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:25,199
Speaker 4: also think that that's a team Seattle is a team

238
00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:27,160
Speaker 4: that's going to learn from this game. And you know

239
00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:30,160
Speaker 4: a lot of times, a lot of those negative negative

240
00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:32,079
Speaker 4: sam Donold plays from the game yesterday.

241
00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:34,959
Speaker 3: We're on like third and three and third and three.

242
00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:36,480
Speaker 4: If you're going to say we're going to be a

243
00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:39,400
Speaker 4: running team, like in the defense, the Rams are playing

244
00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:41,680
Speaker 4: dying defense at times. You got to be able to

245
00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:43,160
Speaker 4: just run the ball on third and three. That's the

246
00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:45,720
Speaker 4: whole point of getting into third and manageables. So the

247
00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:48,440
Speaker 4: defense has to defend the pass and the run and

248
00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:50,600
Speaker 4: not like third and seven to ten stuff like that.

249
00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:52,400
Speaker 3: So they'll I think they'll learn from this.

250
00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:55,440
Speaker 4: I would chalk this up as the first game of

251
00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:58,440
Speaker 4: probably three that the Seattle Seahawks and the Rams play

252
00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:00,440
Speaker 4: this year, and I think all the gas will be

253
00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:01,520
Speaker 4: kind of like this one.

254
00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:03,000
Speaker 2: So it's interesting.

255
00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:05,800
Speaker 1: I always look for a team to have an identity,

256
00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:10,120
Speaker 1: and I actually think Chicago's identity is Ben Johnson.

257
00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:11,600
Speaker 2: In the run game. But we pay a lot of

258
00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:12,520
Speaker 2: attention to Caleb.

259
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:14,760
Speaker 1: But I think when they got Drew Dolman, Joe Toney,

260
00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:17,959
Speaker 1: Jonah Jackson, Ben tipped his hand. We want to run

261
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:19,840
Speaker 1: the ball. I want to make it easier for my

262
00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:20,560
Speaker 1: young quarterback.

263
00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:24,400
Speaker 2: You know. Again, Caleb had moments, had plays. He does.

264
00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:26,600
Speaker 1: I mean he throws that ball. He has one hundred

265
00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:29,520
Speaker 1: mile an hour fastball. But I kind of see their

266
00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:33,400
Speaker 1: identity they make. They're not a great defense, but it's

267
00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:36,199
Speaker 1: a playmaking defense and it's a run team.

268
00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:39,400
Speaker 2: That's how I view them. How do you view the Bears.

269
00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:42,040
Speaker 4: I think they're a team that's overachieving with a great

270
00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:44,319
Speaker 4: head coach. I mean they are seven and three right

271
00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:47,640
Speaker 4: now and like to think about who they were last

272
00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:50,160
Speaker 4: year and who they are this year. Ben Johnson, Ryan

273
00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:52,840
Speaker 4: Paul has done a great job building this thing. Caleb

274
00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:55,400
Speaker 4: is a young player learning on the fly, and as

275
00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:59,079
Speaker 4: he's learning, they're winning. He's morphing into Ben Johnson's kind

276
00:12:59,080 --> 00:12:59,720
Speaker 4: of quarterback.

277
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:00,520
Speaker 3: Is he there?

278
00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:00,640
Speaker 5: No?

279
00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:04,040
Speaker 4: I don't think he is. He's really not. But they

280
00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:06,040
Speaker 4: seem to find ways to win. Whether it's a two

281
00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:08,439
Speaker 4: minute drive by Caleb doing a great job in two minute,

282
00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:11,520
Speaker 4: our special teams save in the day yesterday and given

283
00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:14,000
Speaker 4: that basically winning the game for them. Other times it's

284
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:16,760
Speaker 4: been defense stepping up. So this is Ben Johnson. I

285
00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:18,280
Speaker 4: think the big fear with him was that he was

286
00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:20,480
Speaker 4: a great play caller, and he was cute and fun

287
00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:22,319
Speaker 4: with his trick plays. But was he going to be

288
00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:24,200
Speaker 4: a culture setter? Was he going to bring in like

289
00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:28,400
Speaker 4: a new DNA into that organization? And that's what happens

290
00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:32,120
Speaker 4: with DNA culture seter type coaches. You set a standard

291
00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:35,400
Speaker 4: and an expectation for the details and the discipline that

292
00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:38,560
Speaker 4: are going to happen in your organization every single day.

293
00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:41,520
Speaker 4: And and like quite honestly, you saw teams lose games

294
00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:44,119
Speaker 4: because they didn't have detail they didn't have the discipline.

295
00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:47,000
Speaker 4: They were selfish, and I think the Bears have like

296
00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:49,600
Speaker 4: kicked that out the door with Ben Johnson. He's a

297
00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:51,840
Speaker 4: great leader, he's a great play caller, he's a great

298
00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:54,800
Speaker 4: developer of a young quarterback. I think they're ascending. Do

299
00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:57,439
Speaker 4: I think this is their year without after I say

300
00:13:57,480 --> 00:14:00,960
Speaker 4: all that, No, they haven't really beat anybody, but the

301
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:02,359
Speaker 4: schedules getting tougher.

302
00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:03,600
Speaker 3: Here we'll find out who they really are.

303
00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:05,680
Speaker 2: So it's hot to me.

304
00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:09,040
Speaker 1: I think one of the hardest things to do as

305
00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:12,400
Speaker 1: a coach is create an identity and then when you

306
00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:14,480
Speaker 1: have it, maintain it. You can lose it. You can

307
00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:17,840
Speaker 1: lose a star player free agency, injuries. I don't know

308
00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:23,240
Speaker 1: what Philadelphia's identity was last year. It was Saquon big plays,

309
00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:26,800
Speaker 1: everybody fearful, they don't run the ball, a lot of

310
00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:31,440
Speaker 1: receiver drama. I almost think the I almost think the

311
00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:34,600
Speaker 1: identity is their two defensive interior alignment, where they just

312
00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:39,440
Speaker 1: any big fourth down play, they're unblockable. Can you win

313
00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:44,120
Speaker 1: super Bowls when offensively? I kind of feel like series

314
00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:48,080
Speaker 1: Ian Good God, they're like second most three and outs

315
00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:48,720
Speaker 1: in the league.

316
00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:52,560
Speaker 2: Is that a super Bowl level team to you are.

317
00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:55,040
Speaker 4: They are a super Bowl level team if they start

318
00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:57,960
Speaker 4: playing their best football late in the year, you know,

319
00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:00,440
Speaker 4: after Thanksgiving they got to get hot. They have all

320
00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:02,760
Speaker 4: the ingredients and who else If it's not them, who

321
00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:04,880
Speaker 4: is it? You know, and they can compete with anybody

322
00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:08,000
Speaker 4: because of what you said, their defensive line and you know,

323
00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:11,600
Speaker 4: the havoc that they reak on a passing game, like

324
00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:13,720
Speaker 4: I was saying with Sam Darnold was sped up. Jared

325
00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:16,120
Speaker 4: Goff was way too sped up, and there's not much

326
00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:18,440
Speaker 4: you can do. I mean, he doesn't have the athleticism

327
00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:20,160
Speaker 4: that a Caleb Williams has, so he has to throw

328
00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:22,520
Speaker 4: kind of on time, and there were guys open, but

329
00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:25,320
Speaker 4: he couldn't get the ball to them because of the

330
00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:28,600
Speaker 4: pass protection. And then if you short set defensive line

331
00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:30,800
Speaker 4: that's really good. They know just to get their hands

332
00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:32,640
Speaker 4: up and bat balls and all that kind of stuff.

333
00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:35,520
Speaker 4: So I think the danger for Philly right now is

334
00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:38,440
Speaker 4: that they did an obvious job of trying to force

335
00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:40,880
Speaker 4: it to aj Brown yesterday, and I think it was

336
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:43,360
Speaker 4: pretty good results, but I just think.

337
00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:44,160
Speaker 3: You got to be careful.

338
00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:47,040
Speaker 4: I know you lost your right tackle yesterday, but it's

339
00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:50,080
Speaker 4: about Saquon. It's about explosive runs, and it's about letting

340
00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:52,200
Speaker 4: the AJ Brown place kind of come to you.

341
00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:54,440
Speaker 3: I thought they were about fifty to fifty there.

342
00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:57,360
Speaker 4: Now Philly fans might push back on me and be like, hey,

343
00:15:57,440 --> 00:15:58,720
Speaker 4: good stuff happens when we.

344
00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:01,120
Speaker 3: Throw it to AJ, and I probably would agree.

345
00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:04,840
Speaker 4: You might even get some defensive pass interference flags that

346
00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:07,280
Speaker 4: aren't really you know, they're a little questionable.

347
00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:07,920
Speaker 3: We'll leave it at that.

348
00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:11,400
Speaker 4: So but I just think the identity of who they

349
00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:14,000
Speaker 4: are that needs to stay to the x's and o's

350
00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:17,840
Speaker 4: and not get like the distractions of front office conversations,

351
00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:19,560
Speaker 4: and we're going to force it to AJ and like,

352
00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:22,560
Speaker 4: that's just that's not what great culture and great teams do.

353
00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:25,800
Speaker 4: And I do think they have been a team with

354
00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:29,240
Speaker 4: great culture and and a winning culture and like putting

355
00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:31,520
Speaker 4: the team first. So that would be just my fear

356
00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:33,600
Speaker 4: that they it's a slippery slope with them, and I

357
00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:36,000
Speaker 4: think they're they're doing just an okay job right now.

358
00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:39,800
Speaker 1: Listen, there's two old quarterbacks that are still on any

359
00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:43,200
Speaker 1: Sunday playing pretty high level football, Stafford and Aaron Rodgers.

360
00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:47,160
Speaker 1: Aaron now has a risk injury if he can avoid surgery.

361
00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:50,120
Speaker 1: Go back to the end of your career when you know,

362
00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:54,120
Speaker 1: I always say young players heal faster older players.

363
00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:55,000
Speaker 2: You know, it's like the NBA.

364
00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:57,560
Speaker 1: If a guy wears two knee braces, attack him, he

365
00:16:57,640 --> 00:17:01,840
Speaker 1: can't defend anybody. Now you're Aaron and you're older, and

366
00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:04,760
Speaker 1: you ever risked injury. Does it change the way he plays?

367
00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:05,320
Speaker 2: Do you think?

368
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:06,160
Speaker 1: Well?

369
00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:08,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, listen, I dealt with this exact same thing. And

370
00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:11,080
Speaker 4: when you break a wrist or a hand, a bone

371
00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:13,639
Speaker 4: in your hand, you immediately go to a hand specialist.

372
00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:15,480
Speaker 4: It's kind of like it looks like it's just a

373
00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:18,760
Speaker 4: whole different world in there. And so you know, two scenarios.

374
00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:21,240
Speaker 4: I think either has to have surgery or he doesn't.

375
00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:23,399
Speaker 4: If he doesn't, then he's wearing a cast. And you

376
00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:26,080
Speaker 4: know my experience when Pete Carroll was in Seattle, I

377
00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:26,720
Speaker 4: was the quarterback.

378
00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:27,520
Speaker 3: I broke my wrist.

379
00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:29,919
Speaker 4: I wore a cast all week, never took a snap

380
00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:32,160
Speaker 4: in practice, and then for the games we would cut

381
00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:33,960
Speaker 4: the cast off and I would wear a splint or

382
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:34,439
Speaker 4: a brace.

383
00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:35,240
Speaker 3: Can you do it?

384
00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:35,520
Speaker 2: Yeah?

385
00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:37,560
Speaker 3: Is it very painful? Yeah, it's very painful.

386
00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:39,240
Speaker 4: What you do is you hand the ball off with

387
00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:41,919
Speaker 4: your right hand for all handoffs to the right or

388
00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:44,719
Speaker 4: to the left. Marshaun Lynch was my running back, and

389
00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:47,960
Speaker 4: in fact, if I remember correctly, I think Marshaun said, hey,

390
00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:51,240
Speaker 4: my quarterback in college at Cal, Aaron Rodgers. He did

391
00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:53,800
Speaker 4: something like this to his left hand and he handed

392
00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:55,520
Speaker 4: all the balls off to me with his right hand,

393
00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:57,080
Speaker 4: and you should do that too.

394
00:17:56,920 --> 00:17:59,639
Speaker 3: And that's what we did that season. I did exactly

395
00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:00,000
Speaker 3: what I did.

396
00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:02,600
Speaker 4: Said, you know the beast Quake game, that was hand

397
00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:06,480
Speaker 4: the ball off righty and lefty. So if he avoids surgery,

398
00:18:06,560 --> 00:18:08,560
Speaker 4: I think he could still play. It's not necessarily a

399
00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:11,800
Speaker 4: ball security thing. It's more about protecting himself as he

400
00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:15,040
Speaker 4: goes to the ground and then maybe taking snaps under

401
00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:17,760
Speaker 4: center might be difficult, depending but I think it's doable.

402
00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:20,920
Speaker 4: I've done it and uh And apparently, according to Marshawn Lynch,

403
00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:23,000
Speaker 4: Aaron Rodgers has already done it when he was a

404
00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:25,480
Speaker 4: cow So I think if you're a Steelers fan, you're

405
00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:28,040
Speaker 4: hoping that he doesn't need surgery and it's something that

406
00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:30,440
Speaker 4: he can just cast up and uh and play through.

407
00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:31,760
Speaker 7: Well.

408
00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:35,280
Speaker 1: Cowboys Raiders tonight, Matt Hassel because always delivers.

409
00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:37,880
Speaker 2: Great senior Bud all right, see you all right?

410
00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:41,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, uh, you know, there's not a lot of veteran

411
00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:46,199
Speaker 1: quarterbacks in this league Flacco obviously, but it's getting to

412
00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:49,080
Speaker 1: be a younger league and there's a lot of young quarterbacks.

413
00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:51,920
Speaker 1: But Stafford doesn't make any mistakes. Aaron's never been a

414
00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:55,879
Speaker 1: big interception guy. Uh, but if he's banged up, there's

415
00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:59,199
Speaker 1: there's limitations to what Aaron can do. You you just

416
00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:01,240
Speaker 1: heal more slow as you age.

417
00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:04,360

427
00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:32,080

Speaker 9: wherever you get your podcasts.

448
00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:22,600
Speaker 1: Six touchdowns for Josh Allen, He's normalized it.

449
00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:23,399
Speaker 2: That's how good he is.

450
00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:26,920
Speaker 1: I don't think I love Buffalo's roster. I just love

451
00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:32,440
Speaker 1: Josh Allen, Sean Tucker, ate him alive, Tampa Bay running back.

452
00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:34,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, I just there.

453
00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:39,640
Speaker 1: It's really interesting watching Buffalo. They are lobsided and it's

454
00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:41,159
Speaker 1: just not a place you want to be in the

455
00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:44,440
Speaker 1: NFL like you you want an identity, but you don't

456
00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:47,920
Speaker 1: want your identity to be one player. And when I

457
00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:51,879
Speaker 1: watched Buffalo yesterday, I've come to the conclusion their roster's okay,

458
00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:55,040
Speaker 1: and Josh Allen's the greatest football player I've ever seen.

459
00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:56,919
Speaker 1: And that's literally how I feel. I feel like I'm

460
00:20:56,920 --> 00:21:00,640
Speaker 1: watching o'tawny. I mean every snap he can run, pass,

461
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:03,320
Speaker 1: He can run and pass, although that one was called back.

462
00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:06,960
Speaker 1: He can do everything. So I generally speaking, you want

463
00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:09,280
Speaker 1: your offense to have structure, and I feel with Josh

464
00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:13,200
Speaker 1: Allen half the time it doesn't necessarily have structure. He's

465
00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:15,040
Speaker 1: just kind of making it up as he goes, and

466
00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:18,879
Speaker 1: I'm totally okay with it. But I mean, even as

467
00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:21,879
Speaker 1: a top rushing team, I wonder how much is James

468
00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:24,640
Speaker 1: cooking the O line and how much his team's terrified

469
00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:29,000
Speaker 1: of not committing to Josh Allen every time he hands

470
00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:33,600
Speaker 1: the ball off. So it's in Buffalo seven wins, Allen

471
00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:37,639
Speaker 1: has ten rushing touchdowns. In Buffalo's three losses, he has none,

472
00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:42,400
Speaker 1: So they're not a terribly balanced team. And I mean

473
00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:46,199
Speaker 1: yesterday their three leading receivers were an undrafted receiver in

474
00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:46,879
Speaker 1: two backs.

475
00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:49,160
Speaker 2: That is not ideal.

476
00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:54,119
Speaker 1: But it it just works with Buffalo because Josh Allen

477
00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:58,000
Speaker 1: is that good. Any other team when you're relying in

478
00:21:58,040 --> 00:22:01,160
Speaker 1: an undrafted receiver in backs to be your receivers, you're

479
00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:04,680
Speaker 1: four and thirteen, they're seven and three, and it feels fine.

480
00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:07,240
Speaker 1: So I don't know if you can win a super

481
00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:10,240
Speaker 1: Bowl or get to one when you're this unbalanced. But

482
00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:14,159
Speaker 1: I don't love their defense. I just think Josh Allen

483
00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:19,160
Speaker 1: is I've never seen a better football player. I've never seen.

484
00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:22,359
Speaker 1: It's like Big Ben, plus big Ben was very good.

485
00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:26,960
Speaker 1: Everything's a little better with Josh Allen. And I mean

486
00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:29,640
Speaker 1: he's led the NFL in touchdowns since he arrived into

487
00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:33,240
Speaker 1: the league. He hasn't necessarily had a running game until

488
00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:36,280
Speaker 1: a couple of years ago. He's never had a great

489
00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:41,320
Speaker 1: receiving corps. He's got a defensive coach. It's just six

490
00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:45,600
Speaker 1: touchdowns feels almost normal for Josh Allen.

491
00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:49,879
Speaker 2: Here's Sean mcdermodd after you guys know Josh.

492
00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:54,439
Speaker 5: He's hard to stop, and you know, we all know

493
00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:58,200
Speaker 5: how last week went, and you know, probably better question

494
00:22:58,240 --> 00:22:58,600
Speaker 5: for him.

495
00:22:58,600 --> 00:22:59,880
Speaker 7: But the Josh that I know.

496
00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:04,240
Speaker 2: Is very I mean, he will not be denied.

497
00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:06,879
Speaker 5: That's the type of competitor, type of person, type of

498
00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:10,879
Speaker 5: teammate that he is. My heart could use something a

499
00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:14,760
Speaker 5: little bit for a different type of game. But again,

500
00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:18,040
Speaker 5: I this this win right here, as they are all

501
00:23:18,080 --> 00:23:21,080
Speaker 5: hard to come by, this win right here showed showed

502
00:23:21,119 --> 00:23:21,960
Speaker 5: me how tough we are.

503
00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:23,000
Speaker 2: Yeah.

504
00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:25,760
Speaker 1: I mean it's again, when you play with that level

505
00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:29,639
Speaker 1: of mobility and athleticism. I can live with picks, I

506
00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:32,560
Speaker 1: can live with mistakes. There's just I mean, as good

507
00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:36,120
Speaker 1: as Mahomes is, he's not this big. He doesn't run

508
00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:42,640
Speaker 1: with this much uh confidence and size and impact. He

509
00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:45,240
Speaker 1: is right now the best quarterback in the league. He

510
00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:47,840
Speaker 1: is the best quarterback. He's not the most decorated. He's

511
00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:50,040
Speaker 1: the best quarterback in the league. J Mack with the News.

512
00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:55,320
Speaker 2: This is the Herd Line News.

513
00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:58,000
Speaker 10: Well, Colin, this could be the last time we talked

514
00:23:58,040 --> 00:23:59,399
Speaker 10: about Aaron Rodgers for a while.

515
00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:01,600
Speaker 2: He has some sort of wrist injury.

516
00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:04,760
Speaker 10: Landed kind of awkwardly, hear as you see a big,

517
00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:08,320
Speaker 10: rare hit from the Bengals defensive front and it appears

518
00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:10,919
Speaker 10: that there's a slight break in his left wrist. Now

519
00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:14,600
Speaker 10: it's not his throwing hand, obviously. He didn't return after

520
00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:16,880
Speaker 10: the injury. Steelers were able to survive things to two

521
00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:19,919
Speaker 10: defensive touchdowns. Hey, don't get it twisted. They were not

522
00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:23,080
Speaker 10: great yesterday with Rogers or Rudolph. They got two defensive

523
00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:26,600
Speaker 10: touchdowns to pull away. Here is Tomlin talking about the

524
00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:27,840
Speaker 10: latest with Aaron Rodgers.

525
00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:31,800
Speaker 6: He was excited about the win. I just talked to him.

526
00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:33,600
Speaker 6: But that's all we talked about. We didn't talk about

527
00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:36,560
Speaker 6: his injury. We talked about the significance of the win.

528
00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:38,960
Speaker 2: Han's injury designation was questionable.

529
00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:40,720
Speaker 7: Could he have returned in the second half.

530
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:43,159
Speaker 6: I don't have the answer to that, and be honest

531
00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:46,480
Speaker 6: with you, I have more information next time we talked.

532
00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:51,080
Speaker 10: Boy, you know who you know who is a big winner?

533
00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:55,560
Speaker 10: Here your Chicago Bears. Colin looking at the schedule, Bears

534
00:24:55,600 --> 00:25:01,520
Speaker 10: hosting Mason Rudolph this weekend. I'm not saying that's a

535
00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:04,719
Speaker 10: huge downgrade, but it's a downgrade for Rogers, and all

536
00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:07,480
Speaker 10: of a sudden, the Pittsburgh Steelers six and four. Look

537
00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:10,119
Speaker 10: at that daunting schedule. I think they lose with Mason

538
00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:14,359
Speaker 10: Rudolph against the Bears. I don't think Rudolph can beat Buffalo. Sorry,

539
00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:17,080
Speaker 10: then you got the Ravens. I think it's okay to

540
00:25:17,160 --> 00:25:19,439
Speaker 10: write off the Pittsburgh Steelers if Aaron Rodgers has to

541
00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:22,399
Speaker 10: go on IR with a wrist injury, you.

542
00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:22,800
Speaker 2: Know what I mean?

543
00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:26,760
Speaker 1: At Pittsburgh feels like Pittsburgh has felt the last several years,

544
00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:30,560
Speaker 1: where they're around five hundred. I will say they end

545
00:25:30,560 --> 00:25:35,840
Speaker 1: the season at Detroit loss at Cleveland where we just

546
00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:41,560
Speaker 1: watched Cleveland's defense Steiny Lamar Jackson. So that played Baltimore

547
00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:43,840
Speaker 1: so last year, Remember they played very well.

548
00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:46,040
Speaker 2: I think at one point they were ten.

549
00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:47,480
Speaker 1: And three or something, and then all of a sudden

550
00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:49,360
Speaker 1: they went on a five game skit at the end.

551
00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:51,879
Speaker 1: It kind of feels the same thing. They come in

552
00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:55,720
Speaker 1: with Mike Tomlin's energy and focus and passion and the

553
00:25:55,840 --> 00:25:59,119
Speaker 1: raw Ross speeches have a ceiling and after Thanksgiving things

554
00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:01,840
Speaker 1: slowly to tear right. So I kind of feel like

555
00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:03,320
Speaker 1: this is what they were gonna be. They were going

556
00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:05,480
Speaker 1: to be a nine to eight football team, and I'm

557
00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:08,199
Speaker 1: looking at the schedule without Aaron that's about what they

558
00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:08,560
Speaker 1: would be.

559
00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:09,040
Speaker 9: Yeah.

560
00:26:09,119 --> 00:26:12,720
Speaker 10: Now, now the tough question, Colin, have you seen enough

561
00:26:12,760 --> 00:26:15,600
Speaker 10: from Aaron Rodgers that if you're Pittsburgh you want him

562
00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:16,360
Speaker 10: back next year?

563
00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:16,640
Speaker 2: Yes?

564
00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:19,000
Speaker 1: I want him back for one year. Really, Yeah, I

565
00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:21,240
Speaker 1: want to draft a quarterback this year, and then I

566
00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:24,440
Speaker 1: want him to learn from Aaron. Absolutely, whoa because I

567
00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:27,719
Speaker 1: think only one quarterback is ready to play immediately, Mendoza.

568
00:26:28,119 --> 00:26:31,119
Speaker 1: Everybody else I think should stay in college or come

569
00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:32,120
Speaker 1: out and sit for a year.

570
00:26:32,359 --> 00:26:33,160
Speaker 2: So hold up, so.

571
00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:35,720
Speaker 10: You're selling Aaron. Hey, Aaron, come back to us. Yeah,

572
00:26:35,720 --> 00:26:37,920
Speaker 10: we're gonna be fine. You know, we got this tight end,

573
00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:41,520
Speaker 10: Washington emerging as a tight end, you know, Jalen Warren.

574
00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:42,600
Speaker 2: We're gonna be fine.

575
00:26:42,680 --> 00:26:44,280
Speaker 3: We are going to draft a quarterback early.

576
00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:44,840
Speaker 2: You know.

577
00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:46,560
Speaker 10: I know you want us to get a left tackle

578
00:26:46,880 --> 00:26:51,000
Speaker 10: or another receiver or something else, but we're drafting a quarterback.

579
00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:53,560
Speaker 10: We're drafting your future replacement. How do you think that's

580
00:26:53,560 --> 00:26:55,280
Speaker 10: going to go over with mister darkness retreat?

581
00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:58,520
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter because he's got one year left. I mean,

582
00:26:58,640 --> 00:27:01,040
Speaker 1: if he was twenty eight, wouldn't go over well. But

583
00:27:01,119 --> 00:27:03,880
Speaker 1: I mean, Aaron, I think, to his credit, has enough

584
00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:06,960
Speaker 1: self awareness to go is. He's not the future of Pittsburgh.

585
00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:08,600
Speaker 1: But if any By the way, he was a great

586
00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:10,920
Speaker 1: teammate of Jordan Love. When they drafted Jordan Love, he

587
00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:12,640
Speaker 1: could have been bitter. He was in his prime six

588
00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:15,040
Speaker 1: years ago. Yeah, but again he was in his prime.

589
00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:17,320
Speaker 1: Green Bay was his town, and he was like a

590
00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:21,240
Speaker 1: good mentor. Aaron'll be fine. He understands what he is

591
00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:23,200
Speaker 1: now at this age. He's too smart not to know that.

592
00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:26,400
Speaker 10: And one more follow up is that which you just described,

593
00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:28,880
Speaker 10: Aaron Rodgers coming back drafting a quarterback. Is that enough

594
00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:31,439
Speaker 10: to keep Mike Tomlin from saying, Hey, guys, the New

595
00:27:31,520 --> 00:27:33,040
Speaker 10: York Giants, So the Miami Dolphins want to.

596
00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:33,480
Speaker 3: Trade for me.

597
00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:36,040
Speaker 10: I would like to listen to what they have to say,

598
00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:38,320
Speaker 10: because I gotta be hey, do you want you know,

599
00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:40,800
Speaker 10: old man Aaron Rodgers as your quarterback next year?

600
00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:44,320
Speaker 3: They're not competing in the AFC, bro, They're.

601
00:27:44,119 --> 00:27:45,040
Speaker 2: Not going anywhere.

602
00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:48,160
Speaker 1: Well, I don't think Mike Tomlin has given any indication

603
00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:51,720
Speaker 1: he's unhappy coaching the Pittsburgh Steelers. So my guess he

604
00:27:51,800 --> 00:27:54,360
Speaker 1: stays he's never been he's never been a ladder climber.

605
00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:55,760
Speaker 2: This is his job and he loves it.

606
00:27:55,960 --> 00:27:58,480
Speaker 10: Yeah, all right, let's go to the Green Bay Packers.

607
00:27:58,840 --> 00:28:01,520
Speaker 10: You know, an uninspiring push. I had that minus seven.

608
00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:03,399
Speaker 10: You know, they beat the Giants by seven.

609
00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:04,720
Speaker 2: Did not look great.

610
00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:07,200
Speaker 10: Obviously, there was the Josh Jacobs injury, but also Jordan

611
00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:10,560
Speaker 10: Love got ding. Duf Collin took a big hit, left

612
00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:12,400
Speaker 10: the game. Malik Willis came in and did a damn

613
00:28:12,480 --> 00:28:16,320
Speaker 10: good job. Love did throw two touchdowns after returning. Here's

614
00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:19,160
Speaker 10: Lafleur on his quarterback hit, his toughness.

615
00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:24,040
Speaker 11: It was so gritty and tough. He was under dress.

616
00:28:24,119 --> 00:28:26,879
Speaker 11: It felt like quite a bit, and I thought he

617
00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:31,040
Speaker 11: did a really nice job of just giving guys opportunity

618
00:28:31,080 --> 00:28:34,520
Speaker 11: to make plays. Certainly had a lot of drops today

619
00:28:34,520 --> 00:28:37,359
Speaker 11: that we were able to obviously overcome.

620
00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:38,800
Speaker 7: For his ability to come.

621
00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:41,160
Speaker 11: Back and play the way he did, I was really

622
00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:41,800
Speaker 11: proud of him.

623
00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:46,280
Speaker 1: I thought that Christian Watson emerged. Romeo Dobbs had bad drop,

624
00:28:46,320 --> 00:28:50,200
Speaker 1: but I thought Christian Watson, who's been dinged up, kind

625
00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:52,479
Speaker 1: of their speed guy, big body guy. I thought he

626
00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:54,240
Speaker 1: played well, and I thought Jordan made a couple of

627
00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:58,160
Speaker 1: world class throws. I think this team should stop trying

628
00:28:58,200 --> 00:29:00,920
Speaker 1: to define itself as a run team. They can't. They

629
00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:03,240
Speaker 1: should pass the ball more and hand it over to Jordan.

630
00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:08,000
Speaker 1: They keep trying to become something. And then Jacobs went

631
00:29:08,040 --> 00:29:09,640
Speaker 1: into the tent and I'm like, guys, you're not a

632
00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:12,160
Speaker 1: run team. You've tried all year. I know the floor,

633
00:29:12,240 --> 00:29:15,160
Speaker 1: that's his brand. I think they should just let if

634
00:29:15,280 --> 00:29:16,800
Speaker 1: Jordan's gotta throw forty times.

635
00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:17,239
Speaker 2: Let him do it.

636
00:29:17,840 --> 00:29:20,680
Speaker 1: But I don't think they're gonna run their way to

637
00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:21,680
Speaker 1: a division title.

638
00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:22,200
Speaker 2: I don't.

639
00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:24,120
Speaker 1: I think they have to put it in Jordan's hands

640
00:29:24,360 --> 00:29:25,200
Speaker 1: and let it rip.

641
00:29:25,360 --> 00:29:26,760
Speaker 2: So here's one of the problems.

642
00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:29,280
Speaker 10: It seems like, you know, reading some of these you

643
00:29:29,280 --> 00:29:31,920
Speaker 10: know ex'es and those guys, teams have solved Jordan Love.

644
00:29:32,320 --> 00:29:34,959
Speaker 10: They said, we're not giving you the deep ball. We

645
00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:37,360
Speaker 10: don't trust Jordan Love to make all the layups in

646
00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:39,760
Speaker 10: the right reads and go matriculate down the field.

647
00:29:39,800 --> 00:29:40,800
Speaker 3: So lead, we don't think you can.

648
00:29:41,160 --> 00:29:44,520
Speaker 10: Yeah, yesterday the dummy Giants basically were like, hey, we're

649
00:29:44,560 --> 00:29:47,560
Speaker 10: gonna leave Watson and all these guys man coverage down

650
00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:49,680
Speaker 10: the field. And of course the Giant secondary stinks. So

651
00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:52,720
Speaker 10: Love had some success. But Colin, when the playoffs hit,

652
00:29:53,120 --> 00:29:54,840
Speaker 10: they're not giving Love these forty yard bombs.

653
00:29:54,880 --> 00:29:56,000
Speaker 3: They're just not gonna be there.

654
00:29:56,480 --> 00:29:58,920
Speaker 10: I don't know that he's good enough to take the

655
00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:02,120
Speaker 10: eight yard check down. Read the defense, it's been a

656
00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:04,440
Speaker 10: trying year for it and the defense. Michael Parsons was great,

657
00:30:04,440 --> 00:30:08,320
Speaker 10: your guy, Michael Parsons, excellent game yesterday. I look at

658
00:30:08,320 --> 00:30:11,040
Speaker 10: this offense colin they barely had three hundred yards of offense,

659
00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:14,479
Speaker 10: like against the Giants, who are one of the bottom

660
00:30:14,480 --> 00:30:15,760
Speaker 10: five defenses in the league.

661
00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:16,040
Speaker 2: Yeah.

662
00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:20,160
Speaker 1: I think a lot of people are winning ugly this year. Chicago, Denver, Philly,

663
00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:23,760
Speaker 1: Green Bay. I think it's a year of everybody's smashed

664
00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:26,520
Speaker 1: in the middle. There's no dominant team and the winners,

665
00:30:26,760 --> 00:30:28,760
Speaker 1: the big winners in this league outside of maybe the

666
00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:29,920
Speaker 1: Rams or win an ugly.

667
00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:30,760
Speaker 7: Yeah.

668
00:30:30,840 --> 00:30:34,479
Speaker 10: Final story is college football. It was spicy Saturday. A

669
00:30:34,560 --> 00:30:38,120
Speaker 10: lot happened around the college football landscape. One of the

670
00:30:38,160 --> 00:30:39,920
Speaker 10: things that did not happen was Arch Banning and the

671
00:30:39,960 --> 00:30:43,840
Speaker 10: Texas long Orange offense. Georgia reeled off twenty one straight

672
00:30:43,880 --> 00:30:46,240
Speaker 10: to blow open at what was a close game at halftime.

673
00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:49,760
Speaker 10: I'll let you chime in on Arch Banning, who I

674
00:30:49,800 --> 00:30:50,640
Speaker 10: didn't see.

675
00:30:50,440 --> 00:30:53,680
Speaker 1: Much from Texas since they joined the SEC, has only

676
00:30:53,680 --> 00:30:55,400
Speaker 1: lost four games, three to Georgia.

677
00:30:55,560 --> 00:30:56,520
Speaker 2: They just don't match up.

678
00:30:56,560 --> 00:31:00,880
Speaker 1: Georgia is a much stronger, more physical team. I think

679
00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:04,480
Speaker 1: they they're a better defensive team, and I think they

680
00:31:04,560 --> 00:31:06,719
Speaker 1: recruit to it. I think this is a bad matchup.

681
00:31:06,800 --> 00:31:09,680
Speaker 1: It's like it feels like a finesse fighter and a slugger,

682
00:31:09,880 --> 00:31:14,280
Speaker 1: and they just don't match up with Georgia. Texas Oklahoma

683
00:31:14,720 --> 00:31:17,560
Speaker 1: plays a type of football that can beat Georgia and Bama.

684
00:31:18,040 --> 00:31:19,560
Speaker 1: I don't know if Texas does right now.

685
00:31:19,680 --> 00:31:23,000
Speaker 2: Art was fine. I don't love the receivers at Texas. Well,

686
00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:23,440
Speaker 2: they lost.

687
00:31:23,440 --> 00:31:24,640
Speaker 3: They lost two guys to the pros.

688
00:31:25,080 --> 00:31:28,480
Speaker 10: Here's Sark talking about their college football playoff aspirations.

689
00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:30,880
Speaker 2: Disappointing.

690
00:31:33,480 --> 00:31:35,720
Speaker 4: It was a pretty good game recorders, and it's not

691
00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:36,480
Speaker 4: a great game.

692
00:31:36,280 --> 00:31:38,760
Speaker 3: In the fourth quarters, at least not for us. So

693
00:31:39,240 --> 00:31:40,800
Speaker 3: I think the challenge for US now is we.

694
00:31:40,760 --> 00:31:42,680
Speaker 4: Got we got a two week season in front of us,

695
00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:44,560
Speaker 4: and we got to get up off map. We got

696
00:31:44,560 --> 00:31:46,800
Speaker 4: to go compete, and we got to find a way

697
00:31:46,840 --> 00:31:48,560
Speaker 4: to go win the next two ball games to see

698
00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:49,120
Speaker 4: what happens.

699
00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:52,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't think they're a playoff team.

700
00:31:53,320 --> 00:31:55,400
Speaker 10: Well, they do have one path to the playoffs. They've

701
00:31:55,400 --> 00:31:56,880
Speaker 10: got to beat Texas A and M. And I know

702
00:31:56,920 --> 00:31:59,040
Speaker 10: our Texas the Texas guy on our staff.

703
00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:00,760
Speaker 3: They got a shot.

704
00:32:00,800 --> 00:32:03,040
Speaker 10: A and M looked like garbage for a half against

705
00:32:03,040 --> 00:32:07,120
Speaker 10: South Carolina before an unbelievable comeback. I don't see an

706
00:32:07,240 --> 00:32:09,960
Speaker 10: m as like some machine. I'll say Texas is gonna

707
00:32:09,960 --> 00:32:10,840
Speaker 10: have a chance in that game.

708
00:32:12,320 --> 00:32:13,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely.

709
00:32:13,560 --> 00:32:16,760
Speaker 1: I watched the entire A and M South Carolina game

710
00:32:16,800 --> 00:32:17,680
Speaker 1: and it wasn't impressed.

711
00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:17,920
Speaker 2: Yeah.

712
00:32:17,960 --> 00:32:19,880
Speaker 10: I know it's an NFL Monday, but right now it

713
00:32:20,120 --> 00:32:23,600
Speaker 10: looks like Ohio State appears to be a lock for

714
00:32:23,640 --> 00:32:24,080
Speaker 10: the Natty.

715
00:32:24,680 --> 00:32:27,360
Speaker 2: Who are they facing, Colin and don't tell me Indiana? Okay,

716
00:32:27,440 --> 00:32:29,320
Speaker 2: I know we like Indiana. It's gotta be.

717
00:32:29,240 --> 00:32:32,040
Speaker 1: Someone else, right, probably Georgia. Jmckle the news.

Speaker 1: and Lincoln Riley is joining us live.

729
00:33:14,440 --> 00:33:16,680
Speaker 2: I gotta be honest. I've said this on the air.

730
00:33:17,520 --> 00:33:20,800
Speaker 1: I watched Jadeen Mayav at UNLV and early last year

731
00:33:20,920 --> 00:33:22,800
Speaker 1: and I said, I said on the air, I'm like,

732
00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:26,480
Speaker 1: I'm not sure that works. He's an athlete. He is

733
00:33:26,600 --> 00:33:29,640
Speaker 1: just exceptional. When did you watch him and think he

734
00:33:29,680 --> 00:33:32,480
Speaker 1: could be this? Because it wasn't a year ago. It

735
00:33:32,520 --> 00:33:34,760
Speaker 1: didn't feel like twelve games ago. It looked like this,

736
00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:35,560
Speaker 1: when was it.

737
00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:39,760
Speaker 12: Yeah, we were excited when we took him out of UNLV.

738
00:33:39,880 --> 00:33:42,400
Speaker 12: We thought he was really raw, and the way he

739
00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:46,720
Speaker 12: produced there still being so new to the game was impressive.

740
00:33:46,760 --> 00:33:48,840
Speaker 7: And then you know, Colin a goat chance to play.

741
00:33:48,680 --> 00:33:50,600
Speaker 12: The last four games for us last year, we went three,

742
00:33:50,600 --> 00:33:53,000
Speaker 12: and one of those games he made a lot of

743
00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:56,000
Speaker 12: big plays against four really good defenses, and I think

744
00:33:56,040 --> 00:33:58,240
Speaker 12: that was when we all kind of said, man, we

745
00:33:58,320 --> 00:34:01,360
Speaker 12: might really have something here, because this kid can develop

746
00:34:02,160 --> 00:34:05,040
Speaker 12: the way that we think he can. You know, there's

747
00:34:05,080 --> 00:34:07,640
Speaker 12: the makings of something pretty unique here. And he was

748
00:34:07,680 --> 00:34:10,040
Speaker 12: just he was so much more raw than any maybe

749
00:34:10,080 --> 00:34:13,719
Speaker 12: any quarterback that I've ever brought in anywhere, including like

750
00:34:13,840 --> 00:34:17,080
Speaker 12: freshman and and but to see what he was already

751
00:34:17,120 --> 00:34:19,560
Speaker 12: doing despite being so new to the game was impressive.

752
00:34:19,560 --> 00:34:22,040
Speaker 12: And yeah, he's just he's worked hard, he's gotten better, better,

753
00:34:22,080 --> 00:34:24,600
Speaker 12: he's got the trust of our staff, our team, and

754
00:34:24,640 --> 00:34:25,239
Speaker 12: he's playing at.

755
00:34:25,160 --> 00:34:25,719
Speaker 4: A high level.

756
00:34:26,320 --> 00:34:26,520
Speaker 2: Well.

757
00:34:26,560 --> 00:34:28,439
Speaker 1: That Iowa game, and I had said it during the week,

758
00:34:28,480 --> 00:34:30,839
Speaker 1: it's going to be Iowa weather. It was a I mean,

759
00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:33,239
Speaker 1: I'm in Chicago. Our weather was better than yours. It

760
00:34:33,280 --> 00:34:37,480
Speaker 1: was a sloppy mass And you got very emotional at

761
00:34:37,480 --> 00:34:39,680
Speaker 1: the end of that game. And I mean you were,

762
00:34:39,760 --> 00:34:42,400
Speaker 1: That's the most emotional I've ever seen you. What was it?

763
00:34:42,560 --> 00:34:44,240
Speaker 1: What was it the week of practice?

764
00:34:44,480 --> 00:34:44,759
Speaker 2: Was it?

765
00:34:44,760 --> 00:34:48,000
Speaker 1: It was a rainy, sloppy Iowa game that it felt

766
00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:51,719
Speaker 1: like a big ten win. What was all that excitement

767
00:34:51,719 --> 00:34:54,799
Speaker 1: from that was for a team you know, we didn't

768
00:34:54,800 --> 00:34:56,080
Speaker 1: play very good in the first half.

769
00:34:56,719 --> 00:34:58,600
Speaker 7: It was like you said, it was a sloppy game.

770
00:34:58,680 --> 00:34:59,680
Speaker 7: It was a good opponent.

771
00:35:00,719 --> 00:35:03,000
Speaker 12: And to have the resilience of toughness to come back

772
00:35:03,040 --> 00:35:05,319
Speaker 12: and win that game was important because we all know,

773
00:35:05,840 --> 00:35:07,520
Speaker 12: you know, what was riding on that game and the

774
00:35:07,520 --> 00:35:10,480
Speaker 12: opportunity that we've created by having a good season, and

775
00:35:10,880 --> 00:35:13,480
Speaker 12: so to see the way our guys responded, to see

776
00:35:13,560 --> 00:35:16,239
Speaker 12: us shut them out in the second half defensively, to

777
00:35:16,280 --> 00:35:19,000
Speaker 12: make big plays offensive on special teams and get it done.

778
00:35:19,239 --> 00:35:21,279
Speaker 12: Kind of in that moment, was I think a great

779
00:35:21,320 --> 00:35:23,880
Speaker 12: step for our program, our team, And yeah, I was.

780
00:35:23,960 --> 00:35:25,240
Speaker 12: I was fired up about it.

781
00:35:25,760 --> 00:35:29,640
Speaker 1: To beat Oregon, Indiana did it? You got to keep

782
00:35:29,640 --> 00:35:34,239
Speaker 1: that offense off the field. Can you Oregon's really good upfront?

783
00:35:33,960 --> 00:35:38,800
Speaker 1: Like first round level defensive line talent. Do you gotta

784
00:35:38,920 --> 00:35:40,640
Speaker 1: I mean, do you have to bring an extra tight ends?

785
00:35:40,640 --> 00:35:43,319
Speaker 1: Can you block Oregon? You have a very talented O line,

786
00:35:43,480 --> 00:35:46,160
Speaker 1: but it's young and you've got some depth. For the

787
00:35:46,160 --> 00:35:49,680
Speaker 1: first time in ten years, USC has really like Sunday

788
00:35:49,680 --> 00:35:53,720
Speaker 1: looking players. You have depth. Oregon's a handful up front.

789
00:35:53,760 --> 00:35:55,560
Speaker 1: Can you block them straight up? Or do you have

790
00:35:55,640 --> 00:35:56,759
Speaker 1: to make them?

791
00:35:56,760 --> 00:35:58,200
Speaker 2: Guess? Bring extra people in?

792
00:35:58,960 --> 00:35:59,680
Speaker 7: Well, we've needed to.

793
00:36:00,120 --> 00:36:03,160
Speaker 12: We've played with about ten different O line combinations all year,

794
00:36:03,400 --> 00:36:05,799
Speaker 12: and our guys have done a really good job responding.

795
00:36:05,800 --> 00:36:08,279
Speaker 12: And listen, we know it's a really good football team,

796
00:36:08,719 --> 00:36:11,600
Speaker 12: really well coached team. You know, talent across the board,

797
00:36:11,640 --> 00:36:13,680
Speaker 12: and so you know, we understand going in that it's

798
00:36:13,680 --> 00:36:15,120
Speaker 12: going to be a challenge and it's our job to

799
00:36:15,120 --> 00:36:16,560
Speaker 12: make it a tough challenge for them too.

800
00:36:16,680 --> 00:36:18,960
Speaker 7: So it's gonna be two really good football teams going

801
00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:20,200
Speaker 7: at it. A lot of times.

802
00:36:20,239 --> 00:36:23,160
Speaker 12: As you know, games like this, obviously, the front, the

803
00:36:23,160 --> 00:36:24,880
Speaker 12: battle up front on both sides of the ball is

804
00:36:24,920 --> 00:36:26,800
Speaker 12: always a key, and our guys are gonna have to

805
00:36:26,840 --> 00:36:28,200
Speaker 12: go in there and do a great job against a

806
00:36:28,239 --> 00:36:28,839
Speaker 12: talented group.

807
00:36:29,480 --> 00:36:30,960
Speaker 1: When you go on the road at OTS, it's the

808
00:36:31,040 --> 00:36:34,600
Speaker 1: loudest stadium I think I've ever been to Gainesville, Florida, Oregon.

809
00:36:34,640 --> 00:36:35,440
Speaker 2: I used to cover it.

810
00:36:36,200 --> 00:36:38,600
Speaker 1: What do you have to do offensively to just keep

811
00:36:38,640 --> 00:36:41,280
Speaker 1: that noise from interrupting your flow and rhythm?

812
00:36:41,280 --> 00:36:41,880
Speaker 2: Offensively?

813
00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:43,680
Speaker 7: Well, play good?

814
00:36:45,080 --> 00:36:48,319
Speaker 12: That helps right now, That's part of going on the road.

815
00:36:48,320 --> 00:36:50,399
Speaker 12: And I think the fortunate thing in the in this

816
00:36:50,480 --> 00:36:52,680
Speaker 12: league is you know, just about all the places that

817
00:36:52,719 --> 00:36:56,040
Speaker 12: you go have a really good home atmosphere and have

818
00:36:56,120 --> 00:36:58,359
Speaker 12: that challenge, and going on the road is always tough.

819
00:36:58,360 --> 00:36:59,320
Speaker 7: You got to be able to handle it.

820
00:36:59,360 --> 00:37:01,880
Speaker 12: You got a community, Kate, you know, their crowd and

821
00:37:01,880 --> 00:37:03,759
Speaker 12: all that do a great job up there. That's what's

822
00:37:03,760 --> 00:37:05,600
Speaker 12: going to make the atmosphere fun and we our guys

823
00:37:05,600 --> 00:37:06,680
Speaker 12: have got to go in and handle it.

824
00:37:06,719 --> 00:37:10,960
Speaker 1: Will So when you you have a receiver makaile Lemon

825
00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:13,120
Speaker 1: and I was talking to an NFL guy and he said,

826
00:37:13,160 --> 00:37:14,560
Speaker 1: what do you make of him, and I said, it's

827
00:37:14,560 --> 00:37:18,640
Speaker 1: just amazing. I said, any go either way ball he'll catch.

828
00:37:19,040 --> 00:37:21,120
Speaker 1: I don't know what his catching radius is. I don't

829
00:37:21,160 --> 00:37:23,200
Speaker 1: know what his speed is. All I know is when

830
00:37:23,239 --> 00:37:27,080
Speaker 1: you throw it and if it's within his sphere, he

831
00:37:27,200 --> 00:37:31,000
Speaker 1: will catch the ball, which tells me he's tough, he's physical.

832
00:37:31,600 --> 00:37:34,040
Speaker 1: Have you ever had a player quite like him? Which

833
00:37:34,080 --> 00:37:37,359
Speaker 1: I know that the measurables are good. He doesn't look

834
00:37:37,360 --> 00:37:41,040
Speaker 1: like a burner, but he doesn't. Nobody ever catches him.

835
00:37:40,239 --> 00:37:42,120
Speaker 1: What do I What do you make of him as

836
00:37:42,360 --> 00:37:43,400
Speaker 1: a receiving talent.

837
00:37:44,680 --> 00:37:45,719
Speaker 7: He's really unique, you know.

838
00:37:45,800 --> 00:37:47,719
Speaker 12: I think the two things that stand out to me is,

839
00:37:47,880 --> 00:37:49,960
Speaker 12: you know, one you mentioned is how fearless he is.

840
00:37:50,040 --> 00:37:52,839
Speaker 12: I mean, the guy is just absolutely fearless to make

841
00:37:52,880 --> 00:37:55,640
Speaker 12: any play over the middle, on the perimeter, big blocks,

842
00:37:57,200 --> 00:37:59,680
Speaker 12: you know, big catches and big moments. He's just absolutely

843
00:37:59,680 --> 00:38:01,720
Speaker 12: fear And I think the second thing is how smart

844
00:38:01,760 --> 00:38:06,720
Speaker 12: of a receiver he is. He he understands defenses, he understands,

845
00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:08,920
Speaker 12: you know, really how to set up routes, how to

846
00:38:08,960 --> 00:38:10,640
Speaker 12: work him. He's one of those guys that you can

847
00:38:10,680 --> 00:38:13,120
Speaker 12: coach him at times, even a little bit different than

848
00:38:13,200 --> 00:38:15,319
Speaker 12: other guys. In the room because of his knowledge and

849
00:38:15,360 --> 00:38:17,920
Speaker 12: fuel for the game, and so his ability to adjust

850
00:38:18,040 --> 00:38:20,680
Speaker 12: routes on the fly and understand how to attack people

851
00:38:20,760 --> 00:38:24,319
Speaker 12: is really unique and that, you know, obviously gives us

852
00:38:24,320 --> 00:38:25,840
Speaker 12: a lot of confidence to use him in a lot

853
00:38:25,880 --> 00:38:26,520
Speaker 12: of different ways.

854
00:38:26,760 --> 00:38:26,960
Speaker 6: Yeah.

855
00:38:26,960 --> 00:38:29,040
Speaker 1: He reminds me a little bit of JS and the

856
00:38:29,080 --> 00:38:31,600
Speaker 1: Seahawk Kid from Ohio State, where everybody said, well, I

857
00:38:31,640 --> 00:38:33,960
Speaker 1: didn't run that well, and it's like, all I know

858
00:38:34,080 --> 00:38:37,799
Speaker 1: is he's open and never nobody's catching him, and he's

859
00:38:37,840 --> 00:38:41,920
Speaker 1: always open when this a playoff spot is on the line.

860
00:38:41,960 --> 00:38:46,400
Speaker 1: I feel like this year you've always been great offensively.

861
00:38:46,440 --> 00:38:49,319
Speaker 1: Nobody questions that, but I do feel like year two

862
00:38:49,360 --> 00:38:52,200
Speaker 1: in the Big Ten felt different. I think you addressed it.

863
00:38:52,239 --> 00:38:54,480
Speaker 1: I think you're bigger. I think you've recruited the interior

864
00:38:54,560 --> 00:38:58,240
Speaker 1: D line. If I said go back one year, how

865
00:38:58,320 --> 00:39:02,200
Speaker 1: are you more Big ten capable or prepared this year

866
00:39:02,239 --> 00:39:05,480
Speaker 1: than last? Just based on the weather, the games, the travel,

867
00:39:05,560 --> 00:39:07,120
Speaker 1: and all the nuances of the conference.

868
00:39:08,040 --> 00:39:10,480
Speaker 12: Yeah, I mean we made some adjustments. I think in travel,

869
00:39:10,520 --> 00:39:13,360
Speaker 12: we've made some adjustments in our approach. I think you

870
00:39:13,360 --> 00:39:16,480
Speaker 12: know you mentioned the depth I think had our team had,

871
00:39:16,480 --> 00:39:18,879
Speaker 12: the amount of injuries or guys missing time that we've

872
00:39:18,880 --> 00:39:20,279
Speaker 12: had this year, I don't know that we would have

873
00:39:20,280 --> 00:39:23,520
Speaker 12: been able to withstand that as much. And so each

874
00:39:23,600 --> 00:39:26,080
Speaker 12: year that goes on, our roster gets more talented and

875
00:39:26,320 --> 00:39:28,560
Speaker 12: gets deeper, and you need that in this league when

876
00:39:28,600 --> 00:39:32,000
Speaker 12: you play the schedule that we do, you're just you're

877
00:39:32,040 --> 00:39:34,120
Speaker 12: going to have to have different guys step up throughout

878
00:39:34,120 --> 00:39:35,759
Speaker 12: the year and continue to play at a high level

879
00:39:35,760 --> 00:39:38,439
Speaker 12: because it's a challenge every single week. And so yeah,

880
00:39:38,480 --> 00:39:41,280
Speaker 12: I just think every part of our program just continues

881
00:39:41,320 --> 00:39:43,759
Speaker 12: to get better and better. And you know, when you

882
00:39:43,800 --> 00:39:45,680
Speaker 12: do that, you're more ready for these games and you

883
00:39:45,680 --> 00:39:47,080
Speaker 12: have a chance to finish more of them.

884
00:39:47,120 --> 00:39:49,080
Speaker 7: So we're doing that now and it's just going to

885
00:39:49,080 --> 00:39:49,560
Speaker 7: continue to.

886
00:39:49,560 --> 00:39:51,319
Speaker 2: Grow from here minute left.

887
00:39:51,320 --> 00:39:54,280
Speaker 1: I don't know if you've noticed your former quarterbacks in Chicago.

888
00:39:54,320 --> 00:39:56,359
Speaker 1: He's on a little bit of a heater right now, Coach,

889
00:39:56,400 --> 00:39:57,040
Speaker 1: have you noticed that.

890
00:39:57,960 --> 00:40:01,160
Speaker 12: I have noticed that all the people that rode them off,

891
00:40:01,239 --> 00:40:03,279
Speaker 12: right he can't play ball now?

892
00:40:03,320 --> 00:40:03,879
Speaker 7: Look at him?

893
00:40:04,200 --> 00:40:06,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, he thought there are top the NFC North.

894
00:40:06,640 --> 00:40:08,640
Speaker 1: He's playing well and he's great in the fourth quarter,

895
00:40:08,880 --> 00:40:10,680
Speaker 1: which is really hard as a young player.

896
00:40:11,200 --> 00:40:13,840
Speaker 12: You notice that I do and I think, you know,

897
00:40:13,920 --> 00:40:15,719
Speaker 12: I think then coming in there has given him a

898
00:40:15,760 --> 00:40:16,560
Speaker 12: lot of confidence.

899
00:40:16,560 --> 00:40:18,920
Speaker 7: I think it's added a lot of stability to the situation.

900
00:40:19,040 --> 00:40:22,960
Speaker 12: And for any quarterback, especially a young quarterback, like having

901
00:40:22,960 --> 00:40:26,560
Speaker 12: that stability and a coaching staff and and and I

902
00:40:26,600 --> 00:40:27,040
Speaker 12: think just.

903
00:40:27,000 --> 00:40:29,359
Speaker 7: That confidence to bring into the offense to him.

904
00:40:29,400 --> 00:40:31,880
Speaker 12: The entire team, I know talking to Caleb, you know,

905
00:40:31,920 --> 00:40:33,520
Speaker 12: the entire organization feels that.

906
00:40:33,560 --> 00:40:35,600
Speaker 7: He feels that. And I think that's why you're seeing

907
00:40:35,640 --> 00:40:38,560
Speaker 7: them win some of these close games. And yeah, I

908
00:40:38,600 --> 00:40:40,720
Speaker 7: think both he and that team are just scratching the surface.

909
00:40:40,760 --> 00:40:41,919
Speaker 7: It'll be fun to watch their run.

910
00:40:42,440 --> 00:40:42,919
Speaker 2: All right.

911
00:40:43,320 --> 00:40:44,759
Speaker 1: It is going to be at least it's on the

912
00:40:44,760 --> 00:40:47,600
Speaker 1: West Coast. No, you're not losing time zones. It's gonna

913
00:40:47,640 --> 00:40:49,320
Speaker 1: be probably a little wet, but it's going to be

914
00:40:49,360 --> 00:40:51,600
Speaker 1: the game of the year on the West Coast for sure,

915
00:40:51,600 --> 00:40:53,120
Speaker 1: in one of the games of the year in college

916
00:40:53,120 --> 00:40:55,040
Speaker 1: football Oregon and USC.

917
00:40:55,200 --> 00:40:57,440
Speaker 2: And I can't wait. And it's great seeing you.

918
00:40:57,520 --> 00:40:58,000
Speaker 7: Thanks calling.

919
00:40:58,040 --> 00:41:01,080
Speaker 2: I don't be a good one, you ate.

920
00:41:01,400 --> 00:41:04,399
Speaker 1: I'm telling you j Mac that mkayle Lemon kid. He's

921
00:41:04,400 --> 00:41:08,360
Speaker 1: got a little JSN like he is average. I just

922
00:41:08,400 --> 00:41:12,920
Speaker 1: saw a number here he's averaged in one hundred and

923
00:41:13,000 --> 00:41:16,520
Speaker 1: nine yards a game, and he's not a burner. And

924
00:41:16,560 --> 00:41:19,080
Speaker 1: that's what they said about JSN. I mean, listen, JSN

925
00:41:19,200 --> 00:41:21,560
Speaker 1: is this kid's a mock first round, right. All the

926
00:41:21,600 --> 00:41:24,160
Speaker 1: mocks have him in the first round. If the ball

927
00:41:24,320 --> 00:41:27,520
Speaker 1: is in his sphere, he catches it. He wins every

928
00:41:28,400 --> 00:41:30,200
Speaker 1: fifty to fifty ball, all of them.

929
00:41:30,400 --> 00:41:30,600
Speaker 2: You know.

930
00:41:30,680 --> 00:41:33,080
Speaker 10: I like most about the US he comeback was they

931
00:41:33,080 --> 00:41:35,400
Speaker 10: were down early and it was like, oh, here we

932
00:41:35,440 --> 00:41:39,080
Speaker 10: go again, and they fought back. Impressive victory. I'm not

933
00:41:39,239 --> 00:41:41,960
Speaker 10: ruling out the upset against Oregon. I know we got

934
00:41:41,960 --> 00:41:45,200
