Hi everybody, and welcome in. I want 19 00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:28,880 Speaker 1: to talk about the Green Bay Packers, a seventeen point 20 00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:31,839 Speaker 1: come from behind win. I don't think Jordan Love's great. 21 00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:34,240 Speaker 1: I'm not sure if he's even very good. I'm not 22 00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:36,880 Speaker 1: sure if he's good. He was twenty two to forty four. 23 00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:41,319 Speaker 1: Some drop passes, some really bad throws, but it's the 24 00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:44,840 Speaker 1: largest comeback in Packers history. I said this about Aaron Rodgers. 25 00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:48,680 Speaker 1: Some guys are great when it's all set up, when 26 00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:50,840 Speaker 1: they play close, so they play with the lead. I 27 00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:53,680 Speaker 1: always said the body language for Aaron Rodgers. If he 28 00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:57,960 Speaker 1: got behind big, he changed the way he played. He 29 00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:01,440 Speaker 1: became more cautious, more safe, like he mailed in the game, 30 00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:04,600 Speaker 1: just wanted to protect his passer rating. Whether that's true 31 00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:06,559 Speaker 1: or not, that's something I've been saying for about seven 32 00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:09,639 Speaker 1: eight years or longer than Aaron Rodgers. So Jordan Love 33 00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:13,040 Speaker 1: trails seventeen to nothing, but he's got that young, naive, 34 00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:18,639 Speaker 1: optimistic we're never out of it till the game ends feel, 35 00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:20,760 Speaker 1: and I think players pick up on that. I think 36 00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:23,160 Speaker 1: teammates pick up on that. Now, did he get a break? 37 00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:25,920 Speaker 1: Derek Carr got hurt. Yes, he got a break. Lots 38 00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:28,800 Speaker 1: and lots of breaks happen in football games. I mean, 39 00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:31,400 Speaker 1: good God, if you watch the Vikings Chargers, each team 40 00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:34,240 Speaker 1: was trying to lose the game, like games are all 41 00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:39,200 Speaker 1: about breaks and opportunities. Jordan Love got an opportunity full 42 00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:44,799 Speaker 1: steam ahead, head down, optimistic, positive body language, positive energy, 43 00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:47,440 Speaker 1: and came back to win. If Derek Carr doesn't get hurt, 44 00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:49,840 Speaker 1: they don't win that football game. Derek moves the chains, 45 00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:52,919 Speaker 1: Jamis Winston comes in. He's going to be more three 46 00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:55,160 Speaker 1: and outs, more mistakes. Now, the Saints could have won 47 00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:58,080 Speaker 1: it with a field goal, but again they didn't. But 48 00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:00,000 Speaker 1: my takeaway and Jordan Love, I don't know what he is. 49 00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:03,639 Speaker 1: He's young. I said, I want Thanksgivings the time. He's 50 00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:05,480 Speaker 1: been sitting for three years. Give me to Thanksgiving. I'll 51 00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:09,160 Speaker 1: have a strong, more definitive opinion. He missed some easy 52 00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:11,960 Speaker 1: things today. He looked a little rattled today. But the 53 00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:15,119 Speaker 1: Packers have always done a really good job of drafting, developing, 54 00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:18,680 Speaker 1: avoiding chaos. They don't they can't get top free agents, 55 00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:20,919 Speaker 1: but in a weird way, it helps them. You never 56 00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:23,120 Speaker 1: have to deal with, you know, outside of a farvar 57 00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:25,240 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers ego, you don't deal with a lot of 58 00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:27,600 Speaker 1: nonsense in Green Bay, right. You kind of know what 59 00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:29,119 Speaker 1: you have. You never feel like you have the most 60 00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:31,320 Speaker 1: talented team, but you have a talented team. But I 61 00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:37,560 Speaker 1: like the fact that Jordan Love biggest comeback in Packer history, positive, optimistic, 62 00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:40,920 Speaker 1: keep grinding these games last forever. I mean, good God, 63 00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:43,680 Speaker 1: the Jets didn't do anything all day and almost won 64 00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:48,040 Speaker 1: the game in a hail Mary. Just stay keep moving, 65 00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:52,560 Speaker 1: keep grinding, keep getting first downs. Sometimes it's just a 66 00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:55,760 Speaker 1: game of attrition. And the Packers win a game they 67 00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:58,400 Speaker 1: probably shouldn't have yet, they got a break. But I 68 00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:01,160 Speaker 1: was happy for Jordan Love. Twenty two of forty four 69 00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:04,120 Speaker 1: is not Joe Montana, but he's a kid. He's young. 70 00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:07,840 Speaker 1: When you're young, especially when you're young, these wins feel 71 00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:10,240 Speaker 1: like two. You know that's going to carry over to 72 00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:13,400 Speaker 1: the next game. That optimism. They get into that locker 73 00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:16,719 Speaker 1: room and they know they were down seventeen to nothing. 74 00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:19,919 Speaker 1: That's a big, big win for the Packers. So the 75 00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:23,919 Speaker 1: Dolphins dropped by seventy. Burger beat the Broncos seventy to twenty. 76 00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:28,600 Speaker 1: I had said multiple weeks ago that I thought the 77 00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:32,400 Speaker 1: biggest potential tsunami in the league was Denver because of 78 00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:36,080 Speaker 1: the different personalities between Russell Wilson and Sean Payton and 79 00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:39,920 Speaker 1: the pressure for both to succeed quickly. The defense, which 80 00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:44,440 Speaker 1: carried the team last year is now really bad. Vance 81 00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:48,720 Speaker 1: Joseph is coaching it. It's horrendous. It's not the most 82 00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:51,120 Speaker 1: talented defense. They don't get a great pass rush on 83 00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:53,920 Speaker 1: a consistent basis. Bradley Chubb is now over the Dolphins, 84 00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:56,560 Speaker 1: so they could use at the trading deadline some defensive help. 85 00:04:57,120 --> 00:05:01,240 Speaker 1: But this is an embarrassing loss. I still think they 86 00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:02,920 Speaker 1: have a lot of talent. I still think they can 87 00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:08,640 Speaker 1: win games. But so much of Russell Wilson's legacy, his 88 00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:12,479 Speaker 1: reality is locker room stuff. Russell has always been more 89 00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:15,800 Speaker 1: popular out of the locker room than in it. Aaron Rodgers, 90 00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:18,159 Speaker 1: by the way, has often been popular in the locker room, 91 00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:20,240 Speaker 1: but takes some criticism out of it. And that's a 92 00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:24,120 Speaker 1: real thing. It doesn't really matter what's set outside the room, 93 00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:26,160 Speaker 1: what is inside the room. It feels like to give 94 00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:28,920 Speaker 1: up seventy points, like Miami's really good. I think Miami 95 00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:30,440 Speaker 1: is the best team in the league right now. San 96 00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:33,560 Speaker 1: Francisco is the best roster, Miami's the best team. So 97 00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:36,480 Speaker 1: the fact that Miami won doesn't shock me. I stayed 98 00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:37,960 Speaker 1: away from it. I didn't want to touch it. A 99 00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:39,800 Speaker 1: lot of the wise guys like Denver and I'm like, 100 00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:44,120 Speaker 1: no thanks. I think Miami is so creative, so clever 101 00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:47,080 Speaker 1: in the red zone. It's a master's class on how 102 00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:51,880 Speaker 1: to score points. Just total deception inside screens. I mean 103 00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:55,159 Speaker 1: almost as a rule, whatever they do initially, they'll go 104 00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:58,599 Speaker 1: the opposite way. Eventually they're just all sleight of hand. 105 00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:02,720 Speaker 1: It's like a classic, you know, magician with cards like 106 00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:04,880 Speaker 1: you just can't keep your eyes on where they're going. 107 00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:08,920 Speaker 1: But seventy to twenty feels like there's locker room issues. 108 00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:10,680 Speaker 1: And I always thought this was a big lift for 109 00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:13,200 Speaker 1: Sean Payton. He had to change the culture, the old 110 00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:17,559 Speaker 1: line Russell Wilson, and it's not working and it's getting worse. 111 00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:22,120 Speaker 1: This sounds crazy, but I wouldn't be shocked if eventually 112 00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:26,599 Speaker 1: Russell Wilson doesn't start, they blow it up. Russell Wilson 113 00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:29,680 Speaker 1: has always been aspirational, but the truth is he's never 114 00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:32,000 Speaker 1: been a great pocket passer. There's questions if you look 115 00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:33,839 Speaker 1: at Seattle, how great of a leader he was. I 116 00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:36,919 Speaker 1: thought he was until he left and got banged on 117 00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:40,080 Speaker 1: by four or five different ex teammates. I've never seen 118 00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:42,000 Speaker 1: that in my career, in my life of doing this, 119 00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:45,080 Speaker 1: I've never seen a star quarterback leave somewhere. I mean, 120 00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:47,080 Speaker 1: there are even people in Chicago that spoke up for 121 00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:50,680 Speaker 1: Jake Cutler. I didn't think. I didn't think anybody like 122 00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:54,480 Speaker 1: Jay Cutler. I'd never heard anybody bad mouth Aaron Rodgers. 123 00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:58,440 Speaker 1: When he left Green Bay, Russell got tagged by about 124 00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:03,359 Speaker 1: six four five six guys, and so I don't know 125 00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:05,719 Speaker 1: what this locker room is like, but I think we're 126 00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:09,400 Speaker 1: headed again. You could have lost today thirty four to thirty. 127 00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:11,960 Speaker 1: Thirty four to twenty seven been competitive. You could have 128 00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:12,480 Speaker 1: lost today. 129 00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:13,000 Speaker 2: It's not that. 130 00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:16,080 Speaker 1: Seventy to twenty feels like. It's much much deeper than that. 131 00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:19,640 Speaker 1: It's a cultural issue. It's a locker room issue, it's 132 00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:24,320 Speaker 1: a quitting issue, much deeper problems. And Sean Payton's gonna 133 00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:27,680 Speaker 1: win this thing. Okay, Sean Payton coaches can coach to 134 00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:32,239 Speaker 1: their seventy Belichick still puts up great defensive game plans. 135 00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:34,840 Speaker 1: He's gonna win this battle. I don't know how they're 136 00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:37,680 Speaker 1: going to get out of this contract. They're gonna have 137 00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:40,600 Speaker 1: to draft another quarterback. I think they clearly will. Who 138 00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:44,560 Speaker 1: would have thought in a great college quarterback draft class Denver, 139 00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:47,440 Speaker 1: Listen for all the picks they gave up, the Broncos 140 00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:50,280 Speaker 1: do have a first round pick, and they need some 141 00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:53,440 Speaker 1: defensive line help. But I would draft a quarterback. The 142 00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:55,320 Speaker 1: only way to get out of this Russell Wilson thing 143 00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:57,240 Speaker 1: if it doesn't work is to hit in a quarterback. 144 00:07:57,320 --> 00:07:59,280 Speaker 1: You don't have to pay him for four to five years. 145 00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:02,560 Speaker 1: That that's your only hope, and then eventually if it 146 00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:04,960 Speaker 1: doesn't work this year, I'm not even sure if Russell 147 00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:07,320 Speaker 1: Wilson would be on the roster. You just move him. 148 00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:11,080 Speaker 1: But I mean, that sounds like hyperbolic. I don't think 149 00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:14,440 Speaker 1: it is. I don't think it is. This is not 150 00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:18,200 Speaker 1: This is going to be a personality clash between Peyton 151 00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:21,560 Speaker 1: and Russell Wilson, and Peyton's gonna win it. Sean Payton's 152 00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:23,960 Speaker 1: gonna win this. It's not going to be close.

Winning 168 00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:18,480 Speaker 1: the NFL as hard, but hiring Morgan and Morgan is easy. 169 00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:22,840 Speaker 1: The difference between retaining a job and getting fired is 170 00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:25,480 Speaker 1: often a play, and I thought there was a chance 171 00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:30,000 Speaker 1: that if the Chargers lost today that Brandon Staley would 172 00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:35,120 Speaker 1: have been fired on the flight home. They remain so undisciplined, 173 00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:42,160 Speaker 1: defensively bad defensive penalties multiple times today bailing out the Vikings, 174 00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:44,240 Speaker 1: who didn't really generate a ton of offense. They had 175 00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:47,080 Speaker 1: a great touchdown to Justin Jefferson, who tends to score 176 00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:51,800 Speaker 1: most of his touchdowns in Minneapolis, but this defense, again, 177 00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:54,800 Speaker 1: Justin Herbert doesn't have Austin Eckler end of the game 178 00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:57,960 Speaker 1: didn't have Mike Williams and Herbert, so Herbert a lot 179 00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:01,880 Speaker 1: of his passes were underneath twelve yards in almost in 180 00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:04,520 Speaker 1: lieu of a running game. But there was a moment 181 00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:07,200 Speaker 1: at the end of this game, and again Hindsight's twenty twenty. 182 00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:09,640 Speaker 1: But it was fourth down in an inch, fourth down 183 00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:12,599 Speaker 1: in a foot, fourth down in this whatever, deep in 184 00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:16,360 Speaker 1: their own territory, punt it Minnesota. Kirk Cousins had been 185 00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:19,800 Speaker 1: under intense pressure the entire game. You're a defensive coach. 186 00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:24,079 Speaker 1: You're getting tremendous pressure on Kirk Cousins. Punt it, make 187 00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:26,959 Speaker 1: them drive seventy five yards and win by a touchdown. Instead, 188 00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:29,520 Speaker 1: Brandon Staley decides, I'm going to go for it deepen 189 00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:31,559 Speaker 1: my own territory, and then I'm going to give it 190 00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:36,400 Speaker 1: to my least skilled offensive player. Herbert could roll out Keenan, 191 00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:41,679 Speaker 1: Allen Everett, they have multiple receivers Palmer. No, they give 192 00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:47,520 Speaker 1: it to the backup running back who gets stuffed. Wow Wow, 193 00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:53,280 Speaker 1: and an interception retains Brandon Staley's job. I think that's 194 00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:57,160 Speaker 1: how close it is, you know. Once again, Herbert puts 195 00:10:57,240 --> 00:11:02,040 Speaker 1: up massive numbers. Herbert most the air free Herbert without 196 00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:06,160 Speaker 1: his star running back Mike Williams, gets hurt. If you're 197 00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:09,400 Speaker 1: scoring twenty eight points a week and that's what the 198 00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:12,240 Speaker 1: Chargers do, and the quarterback's got a passer rating in 199 00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:14,720 Speaker 1: the hundreds and is throwing for over three hundred yards, 200 00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:18,200 Speaker 1: you have to win those games. And the Chargers almost 201 00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:21,120 Speaker 1: gave it to a Viking team that can't run the 202 00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:25,240 Speaker 1: football and couldn't protect their quarterback. Think about that, couldn't 203 00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:28,240 Speaker 1: run the football, couldn't protect the quarterback, and they have 204 00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:31,600 Speaker 1: a quarterback in Kirk Cousins who's not hyper athletic. You 205 00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:34,240 Speaker 1: watch that game, there was no question. If you take 206 00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:38,360 Speaker 1: Justin Jefferson out of that game. Of the top twelve players, 207 00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:44,040 Speaker 1: eight nine were Chargers and they hold on for dear life. 208 00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:48,520 Speaker 1: What do they do well? They rush the passer pretty well. 209 00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:52,679 Speaker 1: I think that's because of the people they've drafted, and 210 00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:56,439 Speaker 1: they have a really nice passing attack, again because of Herbert, 211 00:11:56,679 --> 00:12:02,360 Speaker 1: Mike Williams, Keenan Allen, because of really good players. But 212 00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:03,800 Speaker 1: I don't think there's a team in the league that 213 00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:08,240 Speaker 1: is worse on attention to detail, A talented team that's 214 00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:11,760 Speaker 1: worse attention to detail than the Chargers. Brandon Staley keeps 215 00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:15,240 Speaker 1: his job, but they tried to give that thing away 216 00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:19,960 Speaker 1: half a dozen times with dumb penalties in key spots. 217 00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:23,920 Speaker 1: We're back with another week of football, and Draft Kings 218 00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:27,480 Speaker 1: Sportsbook is keeping us in on all the NFL action 219 00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:31,280 Speaker 1: great offers.

But I 231 00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:15,720 Speaker 1: think this is just how Pittsburgh's gonna win. And I 232 00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:18,720 Speaker 1: think that they're basically when they face offensive lines they 233 00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:21,400 Speaker 1: can manipulate. I did think their defense got a bit gas, 234 00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:24,079 Speaker 1: Jimmy could go to a second or third receiver. You 235 00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:25,640 Speaker 1: couldn't do that in the first half, couldn't do that 236 00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:27,920 Speaker 1: in the first three quarters. So I mean, I think 237 00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:30,400 Speaker 1: every great defense if they're on the field enough, and 238 00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:34,040 Speaker 1: that's the problem with the Steeler defense. They're fantastic. But 239 00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:37,360 Speaker 1: this team leads the league in three and outs. You know, 240 00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:39,920 Speaker 1: they're kind of an old school If they beat you 241 00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:43,200 Speaker 1: over the top, they can't they can't really run the ball. Pickett, 242 00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:46,400 Speaker 1: we'll let it loose. He moves okay, but it's a 243 00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:50,800 Speaker 1: big play offense. Occasionally this is your O line and 244 00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:52,040 Speaker 1: Canny Pickets your quarterback. 245 00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:54,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, one thing that is pretty clear is 246 00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:59,880 Speaker 2: that I agree. One thing that's pretty clear is that 247 00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:02,840 Speaker 2: they drafted Najie Harris pretty high and he's just not 248 00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:05,360 Speaker 2: that good. He just looks kind of like an average, 249 00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:07,520 Speaker 2: you know, run of the mill running back. Can he 250 00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:10,319 Speaker 2: pick His athleticism actually is one thing that makes him 251 00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:14,360 Speaker 2: a little more functional because arm talent is nothing special. 252 00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:15,960 Speaker 2: I mean, you watch two guys to night that just 253 00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:18,160 Speaker 2: do not have great arms. I mean, Jimmy Garoppolo's arm 254 00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:21,960 Speaker 2: to me is getting dramatically worse, you know, and I 255 00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:24,520 Speaker 2: think the Steelers TJ Watt, I don't know if they're 256 00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:26,880 Speaker 2: gonna win enough games usually to be the defensive player 257 00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:28,520 Speaker 2: of the year. I guess JJ Watt had some years, 258 00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:30,640 Speaker 2: but they were still making the playoffs. If this team's 259 00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:33,040 Speaker 2: not a playoff team. But he has twenty five sacks, 260 00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:35,840 Speaker 2: I mean, he's on a torrid pace right now. He's 261 00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:39,160 Speaker 2: a fantastic player. But offensively, I'm with you. I mean, 262 00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:42,800 Speaker 2: I just you don't it's not pretty. 263 00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:45,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I was thinking about this today that 264 00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:53,120 Speaker 1: I counted outside of about eight NFL teams Kansas City, Burrows, Fine, Cincinnati, 265 00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:57,240 Speaker 1: the Rams, Stafford. I still think has a couple of 266 00:14:57,240 --> 00:14:59,120 Speaker 1: really good years left if they can protect him. He's 267 00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:06,080 Speaker 1: still really good. Philadelphia, Baltimore, Buffalo, Jacksonville. There's about eight 268 00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:11,280 Speaker 1: teams right now that shouldn't draft a quarterback. Everybody else. 269 00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:14,520 Speaker 1: If I'm New England, I draft a quarterback. I don't 270 00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:18,120 Speaker 1: think they're in love with Mac Jones. Las Vegas obviously, Denver, 271 00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:24,000 Speaker 1: New York Giants. Minnesota absolutely drafted quarterback. Despite the NFL 272 00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:29,120 Speaker 1: altering rules for the last decade, all favoring offense. John 273 00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:33,120 Speaker 1: About eight teams in this league can consistently score and 274 00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:37,280 Speaker 1: that's about it. And I think these two teams tonight again, 275 00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:41,640 Speaker 1: these quarterbacks when pressured, oh, lines are both really average. 276 00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:44,600 Speaker 1: Points are a premium, and I think that this is 277 00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:46,600 Speaker 1: why they keep altering the rules. A lot of your 278 00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:50,800 Speaker 1: better athletes. These edge rushers. We can't find offensive linemen 279 00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:52,720 Speaker 1: in this league. There's just too many good edges and 280 00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:56,560 Speaker 1: these there's edge rushers everywhere. You can't block Max Crosby, 281 00:15:56,560 --> 00:16:00,200 Speaker 1: you can't block TJ. Watt. I just look at this. 282 00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:02,960 Speaker 1: I think I looked at the Steelers and their recipe is, Listen, 283 00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:06,240 Speaker 1: we can win ten games a year just on defense 284 00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:08,200 Speaker 1: and a couple of over the top plays. 285 00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:10,400 Speaker 2: Well, if you look at it, everyone thinks Matt Canada 286 00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:12,560 Speaker 2: is the village idiot, and I think a lot listen. 287 00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:15,440 Speaker 2: I'm not saying he's Kyle shanahana McVeigh, but his personnel 288 00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:18,440 Speaker 2: is not great. We're on the flip side, Josh McDaniels. Now, 289 00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:21,720 Speaker 2: this is second opportunity in what fifteen plus years. Obviously, 290 00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:23,600 Speaker 2: the Denver thing a long time ago. He tied his 291 00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:26,160 Speaker 2: hands to t bow, tried to be Belichick two point 292 00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:27,720 Speaker 2: zero and that was He's ran out of the building 293 00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:30,640 Speaker 2: within a year and a half. This is not going well, Colin. 294 00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:34,480 Speaker 2: And he tied himself immediately to Jimmy Garoppolo. Who listen, 295 00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:37,120 Speaker 2: I know people love to be like, well, perty would 296 00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:39,440 Speaker 2: look the same. Jimmy Garoppolo is just not a very 297 00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:41,760 Speaker 2: good player right now. His arm strength has greatly diminished. 298 00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:44,320 Speaker 2: His decision making is horrendous. I got a text a 299 00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:46,200 Speaker 2: night from an NFL EXECU that was like, how do 300 00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:50,040 Speaker 2: you have DeVante Adams and Josh Jacobs And they basically 301 00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:52,840 Speaker 2: had seven points, you know, fifty five minutes of the game, Like, 302 00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:55,880 Speaker 2: what is going on this guy? Listen. Obviously, when you 303 00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:57,480 Speaker 2: have Tom Brady, you're going to be a better coach. 304 00:16:57,560 --> 00:17:00,760 Speaker 2: But he was viewed as just an excellent scommat x's 305 00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:03,400 Speaker 2: nos chess player, and you're watching him now as a 306 00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:06,040 Speaker 2: head coach. It just looks terrible, Colin. I don't know 307 00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:07,880 Speaker 2: how else to say it. He just he looks over 308 00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:09,560 Speaker 2: his head a little bit and a lot. He's tied 309 00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:10,720 Speaker 2: himself to Jimmy Garoppolo. 310 00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:15,679 Speaker 1: Mike McDaniels so creative and clever with Miami and Shanahan 311 00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:18,280 Speaker 1: is as well as you called him. Mike McDaniel, the 312 00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:23,200 Speaker 1: Ivy League, Shanahan and then McVeigh I think also falls 313 00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:26,280 Speaker 1: into this. Really clever Andy Reid we know, is really clever. 314 00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:30,080 Speaker 1: There's a very small handful of guys that are that 315 00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:33,520 Speaker 1: can really do their magicians and they can do a 316 00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:36,080 Speaker 1: lot of different things, right. I kind of feel like 317 00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:39,560 Speaker 1: Josh McDaniels has an offense. This is what it is. 318 00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:44,639 Speaker 1: He needs the right left tackle, the right quarterback, whereas 319 00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:49,480 Speaker 1: I think Shanahan, McVeigh, McDaniels can kind of use their 320 00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:54,240 Speaker 1: personnel and there can be limitations at quarterback, limitations on 321 00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:56,680 Speaker 1: the offensive. Miami doesn't have a great offensive line, Rams 322 00:17:56,680 --> 00:18:00,160 Speaker 1: don't have a great offensive line. Doesn't matter. They figure 323 00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:01,480 Speaker 1: out a way to make it work. I kind of 324 00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:06,040 Speaker 1: feel Josh McDaniels is one of those you know, you know, 325 00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:08,440 Speaker 1: you ever have a college professor or I you know, 326 00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:12,359 Speaker 1: and he's good, but it's basically the same lecture for 327 00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:14,800 Speaker 1: thirty years, Like this is kind of the act he has. 328 00:18:15,320 --> 00:18:18,639 Speaker 1: Really he hasn't really added to it. It's the same 329 00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:21,760 Speaker 1: tricks of thirty years ago and he's never updated things. 330 00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:24,040 Speaker 1: And I kind of feel like Josh McDaniels has an offense. 331 00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:27,520 Speaker 1: It's only as good as the quarterback. It bombed with Tebow, 332 00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:30,680 Speaker 1: it was great with Brady, and it's limited with Garoppolo. 333 00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:34,520 Speaker 1: It's not super clever. It's predicated on who's throwing the ball. 334 00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:37,040 Speaker 2: I would say. The other thing is these New England guys, 335 00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:40,720 Speaker 2: they always hire other New England guys. Where McDaniel's a 336 00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:43,760 Speaker 2: good example, he'd never worked with Vic Fangio. Hires mcfangiel. 337 00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:45,639 Speaker 2: Why he's the best defensive coordinator in the market. They 338 00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:47,560 Speaker 2: need to upgrade that side of the ball. And you 339 00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:49,560 Speaker 2: look at you know, Josh McDaniel, what does he do. 340 00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:52,040 Speaker 2: He goes get Patrick Graham, who was with Joe Judge, 341 00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:54,000 Speaker 2: who was with Bill Belichick, and they've all worked together. 342 00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:57,120 Speaker 2: They all stay so insulated as a group. Where these 343 00:18:57,480 --> 00:19:01,160 Speaker 2: look Sean McVay, he's gone outside before, Brad know, Brandon Staley, 344 00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:04,040 Speaker 2: Kyle Shanahan had never worked with Steve Wilks. You gotta 345 00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:07,719 Speaker 2: be okay with thinking outside the box, sometimes on your 346 00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:10,840 Speaker 2: on your position coaches, but specifically the coordinator on the 347 00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:13,120 Speaker 2: other side of the ball. I mean, the Raiders defense 348 00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:16,400 Speaker 2: is just they've been drafted high for fifteen plus years 349 00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:18,440 Speaker 2: and they're just always terrible. I mean, look, they draft 350 00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:19,840 Speaker 2: a guy in the top ten. That's the other thing. 351 00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:23,399 Speaker 2: Personnel wise. You draft that guy you know from Texas 352 00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:26,360 Speaker 2: Tech over Jalen Carter and Collins Arse was santing. It's nice. 353 00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:28,400 Speaker 2: It doesn't look very good. You take that guy seven 354 00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:30,320 Speaker 2: to eight. I mean, he's got to have some impact 355 00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:32,120 Speaker 2: on the game, and he looks, you know, like a 356 00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:33,240 Speaker 2: mid round pick at best. 357 00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:35,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, their best players Max Crosby, who I think was 358 00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:37,960 Speaker 1: a fifth rounder and a directional school in Michigan, and 359 00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:41,160 Speaker 1: he's their best player, and their on defense best player. 360 00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:43,639 Speaker 1: Devonte Adams Fresno State, guy who's been good in the 361 00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:45,080 Speaker 1: league for a long time. All Right, I want to 362 00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:48,879 Speaker 1: talk Cowboys. So the Cowboys were missing three offensive linemen 363 00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:53,080 Speaker 1: starters and I and so there's some of that. Up 364 00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:55,480 Speaker 1: to four different offensive linemen played. And I think the 365 00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:58,280 Speaker 1: red zone is where average offensive lines go to die. 366 00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:01,400 Speaker 1: It's congested. You need the teams that have great old 367 00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:03,840 Speaker 1: lines like Philadelphia are generally great in the red zone. 368 00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:08,199 Speaker 1: It's hard enough to block. It's really hard in a 369 00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:11,280 Speaker 1: congested space when you have a limited playbook, right half 370 00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:12,920 Speaker 1: your playbook you can't use when you're at the seven 371 00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:17,399 Speaker 1: yard line. You know, so when you're going backup offensive lineman. 372 00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:20,159 Speaker 1: For at one point Dallas wasn't gonna be great in 373 00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:22,280 Speaker 1: the red zone. But I do think it points out 374 00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:24,679 Speaker 1: when I watched Dallas played, I think more than they 375 00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:27,880 Speaker 1: want to admit, Dak's Kirk Cousins with more mobility. There's 376 00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:30,440 Speaker 1: a way Dak is good. He plays with the lead. 377 00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:35,600 Speaker 1: He throws thirty four times or fewer. It's complimentary throwing. 378 00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:39,480 Speaker 1: It's play action throwing. Mike McCarthy trailed late in the game. 379 00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:41,359 Speaker 1: He was still running the ball, and Mike's thing is, 380 00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:43,160 Speaker 1: I'm not going to have him throw forty five times 381 00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:46,200 Speaker 1: a game. I know how this turns out. He'll throw interceptions, 382 00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:48,680 Speaker 1: make mistakes, he'll get dogged all week in practice. I'm 383 00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:50,760 Speaker 1: not going to have Dak confidence going to the tank. 384 00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:53,000 Speaker 1: And so they played kind of conservative trailing in the game. 385 00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:55,159 Speaker 1: That was my take is that Mike's like, listen, I 386 00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:59,119 Speaker 1: know the outcome. He's got a bad record, and I 387 00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:01,600 Speaker 1: think Mike kind of fell like, I'm not going down there. 388 00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:04,040 Speaker 1: We're just gonna we're just gonna run the ball if 389 00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:05,480 Speaker 1: we can get one of these things. And I feel 390 00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:07,440 Speaker 1: it like with Dak, there's a way to play now 391 00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:10,560 Speaker 1: everybody's crushing McCarthy for the game plan. And again they 392 00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:13,280 Speaker 1: moved the ball. They actually ran the ball pretty well. 393 00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:14,800 Speaker 1: They moved the ball. They were just bad in the 394 00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:17,800 Speaker 1: red zone. My takeaway is I don't think McCarthy's a 395 00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:20,320 Speaker 1: great coach. And I kind of watched Dallas and I thought, oh, 396 00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:22,600 Speaker 1: this is this is not how, this is not how 397 00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:23,320 Speaker 1: they win with Dak. 398 00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:27,359 Speaker 2: That's my take. Well, today's a good example on McCarthy. 399 00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:29,680 Speaker 2: They get in the red zone, they're one to five, right, 400 00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:31,800 Speaker 2: they could not Like you said, they moved the ball. 401 00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:34,320 Speaker 2: They ran the ball for almost two hundred yards. Pollard 402 00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:38,239 Speaker 2: looked fantastic. When I have Ceedee Lamb, Tony Pollard and 403 00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:40,960 Speaker 2: Brandon Cooks and I get within the ten or five 404 00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:43,120 Speaker 2: yard line, I have to have a couple of plays 405 00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:47,000 Speaker 2: using motions, some trickeration that Andy Reid, the McDaniel, that 406 00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:50,040 Speaker 2: Sean McVay to just get some layup walk in place. 407 00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:52,320 Speaker 2: You saw it all around the league today with these 408 00:21:52,359 --> 00:21:55,800 Speaker 2: innovative offensive minds, and you watch them, you're right, they're 409 00:21:55,840 --> 00:21:58,960 Speaker 2: missing guys the offensive line. Penalties today, Remember a couple 410 00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:00,760 Speaker 2: years ago they led the league in penalties. That was 411 00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:03,840 Speaker 2: cropping up again today. But understandable sometimes when you have 412 00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:06,119 Speaker 2: new faces at you know, in your front five. But 413 00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:09,560 Speaker 2: to not have just a couple go to easy walk 414 00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:13,399 Speaker 2: in touchdowns today because let's face it, Arizona's played pretty 415 00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:16,440 Speaker 2: well this year, yep. I mean they were very feisty 416 00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:19,200 Speaker 2: Week one against Washington. They were kicking the shit out 417 00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:21,760 Speaker 2: of the Giants for a half, and today they brought it. 418 00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:23,720 Speaker 2: I mean, they were flying around. If you didn't know 419 00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:26,600 Speaker 2: that all of us thought they were gonna suck, you'd go, 420 00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:30,080 Speaker 2: this is a solid NFL team. The quarterback looked good defensively, 421 00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:33,000 Speaker 2: they were flying around. But yeah, I mean, I listen, 422 00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:35,919 Speaker 2: Dak's been who he's been for half a decade now, right. 423 00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:39,600 Speaker 2: He hasn't changed. He's been solid. But like that pick 424 00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:42,199 Speaker 2: toward the end of the game, which ultimately at that 425 00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:45,000 Speaker 2: point in time they were gonna they probably weren't gonna 426 00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:47,680 Speaker 2: win anyway, But that's kind of him, you know, Cousins 427 00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:50,000 Speaker 2: does like you said the same thing, And this is 428 00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:52,359 Speaker 2: where I get back to to not have just whether 429 00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:54,159 Speaker 2: it's a zone read play, the Dak can get a 430 00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:56,000 Speaker 2: walk in. Jordan Love had that play today on the 431 00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:58,320 Speaker 2: goal line where he scored touchdown that kind of, you know, 432 00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:01,000 Speaker 2: got the momentum back for them. It feels like sometimes 433 00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:03,320 Speaker 2: McCarthy's just kind of banging his head against the wall 434 00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:07,159 Speaker 2: and listen, I thought Dallas was a legitimate Super Bowl contender. 435 00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:10,400 Speaker 2: You watch games like today, the coach and the quarterback. Man, 436 00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:13,160 Speaker 2: if they're not, you're gonna have to beat some really 437 00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:17,800 Speaker 2: good offensive play callers, some really good quarterbacks. And McCarthy, man, 438 00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:19,520 Speaker 2: there's a reason he didn't win a lot of those 439 00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:21,520 Speaker 2: NFC championship games. It's not like they went to four 440 00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:23,320 Speaker 2: Super Bowls and only won the one with Aaron Right. 441 00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:25,800 Speaker 2: They went to five NFC Championship games, and beside the 442 00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:28,240 Speaker 2: one they won, they never won any of those games. 443 00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:31,560 Speaker 1: For a limited time, you can save up to forty 444 00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:36,479 Speaker 1: percent off on an NFL Plus Premium annual subscription when 445 00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:40,280 Speaker 1: you sign up through Plus Play from Verizon Plus Play. 446 00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:42,719 Speaker 1: It is a platform where you can shop, manage, and 447 00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:46,520 Speaker 1: save on the subscriptions you already love.

Get it before it's gone. One of 460 00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:37,440 Speaker 1: the things that is really interesting, Jimmy Johnson was really 461 00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:39,920 Speaker 1: outspoken about Brandon Staley and if you watch, I watched 462 00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:42,120 Speaker 1: every second of that game. Both those teams were trying 463 00:24:42,119 --> 00:24:45,720 Speaker 1: to give that game away the Chargers outside of Justin Jefferson, 464 00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:48,800 Speaker 1: and maybe that there's a safety for Minnesota who's really 465 00:24:48,840 --> 00:24:52,280 Speaker 1: good the Notre Dame Guide's been in the league for years. 466 00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:53,000 Speaker 2: Harrison Smith. 467 00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:55,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean Chargers have better players all of the field. 468 00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:58,359 Speaker 1: It's not even debatable, better old line, better pass rush, 469 00:24:58,520 --> 00:25:01,959 Speaker 1: just have better roster. But what was remarkable about Brandon 470 00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:06,560 Speaker 1: Staley going for it on fourth down at the twenty 471 00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:09,560 Speaker 1: four is it Minnesota number one had no timeouts left, 472 00:25:10,119 --> 00:25:13,960 Speaker 1: had struggled to block increasingly in that game, struggled to 473 00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:17,320 Speaker 1: block the Chargers front. So no timeouts, you punt it. 474 00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:20,280 Speaker 1: Let's say they fair catch it at the thirty thirty five. 475 00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:24,600 Speaker 1: They need a touchdown to win. They have no timeouts left, 476 00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:27,800 Speaker 1: and the pressure has increased on Kirk Cousins, who's not 477 00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:30,399 Speaker 1: a big throw the ball down the field, not a 478 00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:33,440 Speaker 1: deep ball thrower anyway, And they really had abandoned a 479 00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:35,080 Speaker 1: lot of that because they just didn't have time to 480 00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:38,679 Speaker 1: set up for that. They couldn't get the protection. And 481 00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:40,560 Speaker 1: he goes for it, and then not only does he 482 00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:42,879 Speaker 1: go for it, the worst skill player on the field 483 00:25:43,200 --> 00:25:45,639 Speaker 1: is the guy who gets the ball, the backup running 484 00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:49,600 Speaker 1: back because Austin Ecker didn't play. And I'm like, what timeout? 485 00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:53,600 Speaker 1: That wasn't a tough one no timeouts. I mean, you're 486 00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:56,399 Speaker 1: a defensive coordinator, you're getting great pass rush and they 487 00:25:56,400 --> 00:25:59,040 Speaker 1: can't call a timeout. They have to get into the 488 00:25:59,119 --> 00:26:01,960 Speaker 1: end zone. I thought it was almost a fireable. I thought, 489 00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:04,600 Speaker 1: if they lost that game, you could fire him flying 490 00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:07,159 Speaker 1: back home. Now that is am I overreacting to that? 491 00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:09,960 Speaker 2: Well, I thought if they lost the game when today started, 492 00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:12,479 Speaker 2: before the ball even kicked off. I don't see how 493 00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:15,320 Speaker 2: you didn't fire him. Now, I'm not shocked at him 494 00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:16,919 Speaker 2: going for it. This is what he's been doing for 495 00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:19,480 Speaker 2: two and a half years. Like he's gone for it 496 00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:21,960 Speaker 2: in insane time. Remember a couple of years ago against 497 00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:23,879 Speaker 2: the Raiders, he went forward like I think at the 498 00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:26,120 Speaker 2: twenty yard line, not even at the twenty four. Now, 499 00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:29,080 Speaker 2: it was earlier in the game. But I also think 500 00:26:29,119 --> 00:26:31,800 Speaker 2: when you talk to people around the league, these owners 501 00:26:32,560 --> 00:26:34,680 Speaker 2: and a lot of gms, and you know t LESCo 502 00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:39,240 Speaker 2: are very numbers driven and are very pro the quote 503 00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:42,080 Speaker 2: unquote go for it or Historically that was never the 504 00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:44,680 Speaker 2: case in football. It was much more conservative, always planted 505 00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:47,440 Speaker 2: and played defense. Which is that tide has clearly shifted 506 00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:50,000 Speaker 2: to me, like he's gonna go for it. He's been 507 00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:52,840 Speaker 2: doing stupid shit his entire tenure as the Charger coach. 508 00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:55,639 Speaker 2: It's more just about the way the defense looks. They 509 00:26:55,720 --> 00:26:58,240 Speaker 2: look like a really good big twelve team. They can 510 00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:02,359 Speaker 2: score on anybody and can't stop a soul. You're talking 511 00:27:02,520 --> 00:27:06,160 Speaker 2: gaping holes, Colin, Where is everybody? Does anyone know what's 512 00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:08,800 Speaker 2: going on on defense? It happened a lot for Lincoln 513 00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:11,760 Speaker 2: at Oklahoma forever. It's like we're not on the same 514 00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:12,200 Speaker 2: page here. 515 00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:14,960 Speaker 1: The Chargers are returning all their starters. Now they have 516 00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:18,680 Speaker 1: the kid from us see the rush in, but essentially 517 00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:22,560 Speaker 1: it's the same starting group and there's they're a bad 518 00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:27,000 Speaker 1: third and long defense. It's like, guys, So they didn't 519 00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:30,920 Speaker 1: play J. C. Jackson today, And my takeaway was, when 520 00:27:30,920 --> 00:27:33,680 Speaker 1: you play the Vikings, you can't let Justin Jefferson get 521 00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:34,240 Speaker 1: over the top. 522 00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:35,320 Speaker 2: And J. C. 523 00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:39,920 Speaker 1: Jackson just doesn't have He's not football smart. I don't 524 00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:42,520 Speaker 1: know him personally, he's not football smart. It's why, by 525 00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:45,400 Speaker 1: the way, it's why Belichick let him go. And Belichick 526 00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:47,040 Speaker 1: just gave up on him. You know, say what you 527 00:27:47,080 --> 00:27:49,760 Speaker 1: want about Belichick on offense, you almost never beat New 528 00:27:49,760 --> 00:27:53,040 Speaker 1: England over the top. And so the Chargers didn't play him. 529 00:27:53,040 --> 00:27:55,959 Speaker 1: And my take is he's just not football smart, like 530 00:27:56,000 --> 00:28:00,119 Speaker 1: he just is in the wrong spot. He bites on anything. 531 00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:02,919 Speaker 1: And so they said, if Justin Jefferson doesn't meet us 532 00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:07,040 Speaker 1: over the top, we're gonna sit J. C. Jackson and 533 00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:09,680 Speaker 1: we'll just keep everything in front and Kirk has to drive. 534 00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:12,880 Speaker 1: And by the way, it mostly is effective against Kirk. 535 00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:16,040 Speaker 1: That's a heavy penalized team. It's a heavy turnover team. 536 00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:19,280 Speaker 1: The game plan was solid. There was at least two moments, 537 00:28:19,359 --> 00:28:21,960 Speaker 1: could have been three where they stopped where they bailed 538 00:28:21,960 --> 00:28:24,639 Speaker 1: the vikings out with defensive penalties Like I'm second and 539 00:28:24,760 --> 00:28:27,919 Speaker 1: twenty third and fifteen. You're like, guys, there's a lot 540 00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:31,439 Speaker 1: of veterans on this field. This is just defensive coach 541 00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:37,080 Speaker 1: returning starters, guys that have been around multiple undisciplined penalties. 542 00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:43,080 Speaker 2: I I, and I like, you could justify firing him. 543 00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:45,280 Speaker 2: I think even with the win, like, where's this going? 544 00:28:45,520 --> 00:28:47,800 Speaker 2: What are we doing? It's the same thing every week, 545 00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:51,080 Speaker 2: win or lose. They always look the same. How often 546 00:28:51,120 --> 00:28:54,240 Speaker 2: does an eight to ten yard completion turn into twenty 547 00:28:54,280 --> 00:28:57,600 Speaker 2: seven yards? You know, defenders running into each other bad 548 00:28:57,640 --> 00:29:01,600 Speaker 2: angles and they get so many explosive That is a 549 00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:04,880 Speaker 2: pretty basic seven yard you know, slant route that goes 550 00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:07,280 Speaker 2: another twenty six yards. That's why they were able to 551 00:29:07,320 --> 00:29:11,400 Speaker 2: constantly get back into the game because they can't tackle 552 00:29:11,400 --> 00:29:13,760 Speaker 2: a soul. The defensive backs now for two and a 553 00:29:13,800 --> 00:29:16,560 Speaker 2: half years, never feel like they know where they're supposed 554 00:29:16,560 --> 00:29:18,800 Speaker 2: to be. Ever, like you say, JC Jackson, they just 555 00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:20,520 Speaker 2: waved the white flag on that one they said, all 556 00:29:20,520 --> 00:29:23,160 Speaker 2: this money whatever, healthy and active. Yeah, but the guys 557 00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:25,680 Speaker 2: that were out there today, And this is what I 558 00:29:25,680 --> 00:29:27,960 Speaker 2: think people are so critical of him that he's a 559 00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:32,720 Speaker 2: defensive head coach. He's really when you're a defensive coordinator, 560 00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:36,280 Speaker 2: you're in charge of the coverages, like that's the most 561 00:29:36,280 --> 00:29:41,040 Speaker 2: important thing, right, the coverages against you know, and clearly 562 00:29:41,080 --> 00:29:44,840 Speaker 2: the coverages he's calling, his players do not know how 563 00:29:45,400 --> 00:29:47,440 Speaker 2: that he wants them to execute it because they're all 564 00:29:47,480 --> 00:29:50,760 Speaker 2: over the map on any given call, Guys out of position, 565 00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:54,959 Speaker 2: guys wide open. It does look like a college team 566 00:29:55,280 --> 00:29:58,480 Speaker 2: that is having to win, you know, on a weekly basis. 567 00:29:58,480 --> 00:30:00,560 Speaker 2: Forty eight to forty five, that's of the way they 568 00:30:00,600 --> 00:30:02,360 Speaker 2: have to play. But in the NFL that's very difficult 569 00:30:02,360 --> 00:30:04,880 Speaker 2: because you're margin feir so small offense, you're going to 570 00:30:04,920 --> 00:30:07,120 Speaker 2: screw up sometimes. I mean, he was forty to forty 571 00:30:07,120 --> 00:30:09,280 Speaker 2: seven today. Now he got lucky on the one touchdown 572 00:30:09,280 --> 00:30:12,160 Speaker 2: that could have been a pick. But he is playing really, 573 00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:14,080 Speaker 2: really well, and I know that sometimes it gets pushed back, 574 00:30:14,160 --> 00:30:16,400 Speaker 2: why don't you win more? If you just watch the 575 00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:19,320 Speaker 2: Chargers play, you will understand why he just doesn't quote 576 00:30:19,360 --> 00:30:20,160 Speaker 2: unquote win more. 577 00:30:20,240 --> 00:30:22,440 Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean he basically without Austin Eckler, they have 578 00:30:22,520 --> 00:30:24,600 Speaker 1: no run games. So it's a short passing game. And 579 00:30:24,640 --> 00:30:26,480 Speaker 1: I don't think there's a quarterback in the league maybe 580 00:30:26,480 --> 00:30:30,240 Speaker 1: Mahomes who is better on the catch it. Throw it 581 00:30:30,280 --> 00:30:33,800 Speaker 1: to the perimeter. That's not as easy as it looks. Herbert. 582 00:30:33,880 --> 00:30:37,480 Speaker 1: It is a complete layup. He must have had eighteen 583 00:30:37,560 --> 00:30:41,320 Speaker 1: of those today, maybe twenty five. Catch it, throw it, 584 00:30:41,440 --> 00:30:45,560 Speaker 1: Keenan Allen, It doesn't matter. Gerald Everett. By the way, 585 00:30:45,600 --> 00:30:47,400 Speaker 1: that's not a layup for a lot of guys in 586 00:30:47,400 --> 00:30:49,920 Speaker 1: this league. It is a layup for Justin Herbert, just 587 00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:55,000 Speaker 1: out even crossfield throws easy stuff. So pivot to this. 588 00:30:56,480 --> 00:30:59,000 Speaker 1: It's very obvious that, you know, Zach Wilson, he's not 589 00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:01,360 Speaker 1: a franchise quarterback, and I think we all knew that 590 00:31:01,400 --> 00:31:04,480 Speaker 1: coming into the season. They're gonna punt on him. Think 591 00:31:04,960 --> 00:31:07,520 Speaker 1: I think the Chicago Bears are very likely going to 592 00:31:07,560 --> 00:31:11,520 Speaker 1: have the number one pick, you know, Arizona Josh Dobbs 593 00:31:11,520 --> 00:31:14,080 Speaker 1: as a backup to Kyler. Murray's actually a pretty good 594 00:31:14,120 --> 00:31:17,520 Speaker 1: quarterback room if Kyler. If Kyler's centered and ready to go, 595 00:31:17,920 --> 00:31:20,200 Speaker 1: that's a hell of a quarterback room. That would not 596 00:31:20,320 --> 00:31:22,840 Speaker 1: be your issue. I just think, like you said, they're feisty, 597 00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:25,280 Speaker 1: they're fast, they they're competitive at home. They're gonna win 598 00:31:25,320 --> 00:31:27,120 Speaker 1: five or six games. If Kyler comes back, they go 599 00:31:27,120 --> 00:31:30,560 Speaker 1: wins six or seven. Josh Dobbs can certainly make throws. 600 00:31:30,840 --> 00:31:34,200 Speaker 1: You know, good kid in the room, moves well. They'll 601 00:31:34,200 --> 00:31:38,840 Speaker 1: win games justin fields can't play. Like you watch this 602 00:31:39,240 --> 00:31:42,600 Speaker 1: like you can tell how teams defend him. They don't 603 00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:44,200 Speaker 1: think he can play, they don't think he can see 604 00:31:44,200 --> 00:31:46,640 Speaker 1: the field. They don't respect him so much to this 605 00:31:46,760 --> 00:31:49,760 Speaker 1: game is predicated on Coaches will tell you what they 606 00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:52,239 Speaker 1: think of their personnel. They'll also tell you what they 607 00:31:52,280 --> 00:31:57,440 Speaker 1: think of their personnel. And I think Kansas City came 608 00:31:57,440 --> 00:32:00,000 Speaker 1: into this game and said, we're going to be hyper aggressive. 609 00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:05,280 Speaker 1: We don't care we can make mistakes. I watching him today, 610 00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:07,800 Speaker 1: I'm like, Okay, I'm trying to be a good guy, 611 00:32:08,520 --> 00:32:11,080 Speaker 1: right like everybody in the media is trying to be nice. 612 00:32:11,640 --> 00:32:14,120 Speaker 1: Zach Wilson came in kind of cocky. It was easy 613 00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:16,760 Speaker 1: to go he can't play. But when a guy comes 614 00:32:16,800 --> 00:32:19,440 Speaker 1: in it's a big city, you know, he doesn't have 615 00:32:19,440 --> 00:32:23,520 Speaker 1: a huge attitude. You see some tools. I thought after 616 00:32:23,600 --> 00:32:27,120 Speaker 1: today I'm like, wow, this is nobody in that building, 617 00:32:27,680 --> 00:32:30,640 Speaker 1: No way. Ryan Poles thinks this is the future, right. 618 00:32:31,560 --> 00:32:34,360 Speaker 2: I think the question is is everyone in major trouble? 619 00:32:34,400 --> 00:32:36,400 Speaker 2: I mean they had a really rough week obviously, the 620 00:32:36,440 --> 00:32:40,000 Speaker 2: situation with their defensive coordinator. The quarterback, like you said, 621 00:32:40,040 --> 00:32:42,920 Speaker 2: he's just he's a bad football player, Like you can't 622 00:32:43,200 --> 00:32:46,560 Speaker 2: not only not franchise. These guys aren't starting quarterbacks. And 623 00:32:46,600 --> 00:32:48,360 Speaker 2: I think you would ask yourself, well, would you want 624 00:32:48,400 --> 00:32:50,920 Speaker 2: him as your backup? Because Joshua Dobbs. Some of these 625 00:32:50,920 --> 00:32:52,880 Speaker 2: guys you see as a backup, like they can function. 626 00:32:53,160 --> 00:32:54,840 Speaker 2: Look at Jordan Love Now, he was a backup for 627 00:32:54,840 --> 00:32:57,800 Speaker 2: a while. He's a functional player. How good they're ceiling is, 628 00:32:57,880 --> 00:33:01,280 Speaker 2: I don't know, but justin fields can't complete passes. At 629 00:33:01,280 --> 00:33:04,120 Speaker 2: one point in time today they were getting destroyed. It 630 00:33:04,160 --> 00:33:06,320 Speaker 2: was in the fourth quarter. He had sixteen pass attempts. 631 00:33:06,480 --> 00:33:08,680 Speaker 2: They don't even trust to throw them. When he said 632 00:33:08,680 --> 00:33:11,760 Speaker 2: this week the coaching comment, which if you watch him 633 00:33:11,760 --> 00:33:13,360 Speaker 2: say it, I don't think he was trying to drive 634 00:33:13,400 --> 00:33:16,680 Speaker 2: a bus over the offensive coordinator, but he was basically admitting, 635 00:33:16,760 --> 00:33:19,160 Speaker 2: like they want me to run a normal NFL offense 636 00:33:19,440 --> 00:33:21,440 Speaker 2: where I go one to two to three, and we 637 00:33:21,560 --> 00:33:24,520 Speaker 2: try to pass like these other teams and I can't 638 00:33:24,520 --> 00:33:26,400 Speaker 2: do it because I turn into a robot and I 639 00:33:26,440 --> 00:33:28,240 Speaker 2: don't know how to function. Part of being a great 640 00:33:28,280 --> 00:33:33,640 Speaker 2: quarterback is kind of blending that instincts with the robotic nature, right, 641 00:33:33,640 --> 00:33:35,840 Speaker 2: because some of these throws you gotta just turn into 642 00:33:35,840 --> 00:33:38,640 Speaker 2: a robot, dump it down for four yards, right and 643 00:33:38,760 --> 00:33:41,840 Speaker 2: think at lightning speed. I mean you're talking less than 644 00:33:41,880 --> 00:33:45,320 Speaker 2: three Mississippis that ball you're firing around, knowing the coverage, 645 00:33:45,480 --> 00:33:47,760 Speaker 2: knowing the hot routes. There's a lot going on. It's 646 00:33:47,760 --> 00:33:50,480 Speaker 2: why most people have no shot to do it. And 647 00:33:50,520 --> 00:33:54,560 Speaker 2: he is completely overwhelmed. I thought his physical tools I 648 00:33:54,680 --> 00:33:57,680 Speaker 2: liked him as a college prospect. They don't translate really 649 00:33:57,720 --> 00:34:01,640 Speaker 2: like to me. His the our motion doesn't feel very smooth. 650 00:34:01,760 --> 00:34:05,000 Speaker 2: Clearly now he's like trying to guide it, but he 651 00:34:05,040 --> 00:34:08,080 Speaker 2: has no clue where the ball's going. They are a mess. 652 00:34:08,120 --> 00:34:11,240 Speaker 2: Calling for as shitty as as Denver was today seventy points, 653 00:34:11,800 --> 00:34:14,480 Speaker 2: you could argue that was even worse. There was a 654 00:34:14,520 --> 00:34:17,640 Speaker 2: moment where Denver was feisty early That game was just 655 00:34:17,800 --> 00:34:19,000 Speaker 2: it was a Taylor Swift party. 656 00:34:19,480 --> 00:34:22,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, and it's you do get to a point in Chicago, 657 00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:25,799 Speaker 1: and I've said this, some of it's cultural. They don't 658 00:34:25,840 --> 00:34:28,560 Speaker 1: do offense well. They've never had a star quarterback. Al 659 00:34:28,600 --> 00:34:31,600 Speaker 1: Sean Jeffery is their best receiver. They've had very few 660 00:34:31,600 --> 00:34:34,759 Speaker 1: great offensive lines. I mean they it's weird about this, 661 00:34:34,840 --> 00:34:37,920 Speaker 1: John and I. It's almost like every Laker team almost 662 00:34:37,960 --> 00:34:40,560 Speaker 1: that's ever won a title has been flashy, and every 663 00:34:40,640 --> 00:34:45,120 Speaker 1: Celtic team that's ever won has been feisty because Boston's feisty, right, 664 00:34:45,200 --> 00:34:48,640 Speaker 1: and LA's glitzy. Every Detroit team that's been great has 665 00:34:48,680 --> 00:34:52,600 Speaker 1: been tough. Same with Pittsburgh. Like you become your city 666 00:34:52,680 --> 00:34:56,320 Speaker 1: or something, you become the culture around you. In Chicago 667 00:34:56,640 --> 00:35:01,160 Speaker 1: is a Midwest nobs tough, hit in the mouth, you know, 668 00:35:01,280 --> 00:35:04,279 Speaker 1: beer and Bratstown right, Like it's it's my favorite big 669 00:35:04,320 --> 00:35:07,319 Speaker 1: city in the country. But it's just authentic. It's real. 670 00:35:07,560 --> 00:35:11,560 Speaker 1: They love their I can name six great linebackers for 671 00:35:11,600 --> 00:35:14,560 Speaker 1: the Bears. I can't name two good receivers. And so 672 00:35:14,760 --> 00:35:16,720 Speaker 1: they don't do offense well. They don't have a sentence 673 00:35:16,800 --> 00:35:20,279 Speaker 1: for it. They don't. They're not a touchy feely organization. 674 00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:22,640 Speaker 1: I mean, you can go to Kansas City. It could 675 00:35:22,640 --> 00:35:27,000 Speaker 1: be Lenn Dawson, it's Alex Smith, it's Patrick Mahomes. They 676 00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:29,760 Speaker 1: had Joe Montana. I mean, Kansas City's had like seven 677 00:35:29,760 --> 00:35:33,360 Speaker 1: different quarterbacks. Green Bays, barn Start, Brett Fahr, Aaron Rodgers, 678 00:35:33,719 --> 00:35:35,960 Speaker 1: Jordan Love may make it. They just know how to 679 00:35:35,960 --> 00:35:39,520 Speaker 1: develop quarterbacks. Chicago doesn't. They're still celebrating the eighty five Bears. 680 00:35:39,960 --> 00:35:43,719 Speaker 1: So to come in there. Let's say Kayleb Williams goes there. 681 00:35:44,080 --> 00:35:45,920 Speaker 1: I don't trust this staff, do you? 682 00:35:46,480 --> 00:35:49,800 Speaker 2: I think depending on what comes out about this defensive coordinator. 683 00:35:49,840 --> 00:35:52,239 Speaker 2: And I'm not laying the blame on anything he did 684 00:35:52,280 --> 00:35:55,040 Speaker 2: in his personal life or even if it crossed over 685 00:35:55,080 --> 00:35:59,400 Speaker 2: professionally on eber Flus like these grown men making millions 686 00:35:59,400 --> 00:36:03,640 Speaker 2: of dollars, But there are moments where you can look 687 00:36:03,680 --> 00:36:05,480 Speaker 2: back and go, that was the beginning of the end, 688 00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:09,720 Speaker 2: and that situation, all the rumors floating him having to resign. 689 00:36:09,840 --> 00:36:14,200 Speaker 2: Clearly people reporting today that it wasn't anything criminal, it 690 00:36:14,280 --> 00:36:17,520 Speaker 2: was inappropriate. It'll be very fascinating as information comes out. 691 00:36:17,880 --> 00:36:21,320 Speaker 2: But Caleb's dad has been on record about the situation 692 00:36:21,480 --> 00:36:24,839 Speaker 2: in the draft, this situation, they have a defensive head 693 00:36:24,840 --> 00:36:28,520 Speaker 2: coach whose defense is it couldn't be any worse. I mean, 694 00:36:28,560 --> 00:36:32,759 Speaker 2: it's as bad as it gets. The staff feels overwhelmed 695 00:36:33,080 --> 00:36:35,440 Speaker 2: the quarterback, which isn't their fault. I mean, these guys 696 00:36:35,480 --> 00:36:38,080 Speaker 2: didn't draft him, but is getting worse by the week. Yes, 697 00:36:38,280 --> 00:36:42,120 Speaker 2: So the narrative and the negativity surrounding this operation when 698 00:36:42,160 --> 00:36:45,000 Speaker 2: the season ends is gonna be at an all time high, right, 699 00:36:45,040 --> 00:36:46,680 Speaker 2: I mean, it's just gonna there's gonna be a lot 700 00:36:46,680 --> 00:36:50,680 Speaker 2: of negativity from every angle. And you just wonder a 701 00:36:50,719 --> 00:36:53,160 Speaker 2: guy that is viewed as this all time great player, 702 00:36:53,200 --> 00:36:55,640 Speaker 2: who's got some strong opinions, and he's got some money 703 00:36:55,640 --> 00:36:58,279 Speaker 2: and his dad's involved. Like, I don't think it's a 704 00:36:58,320 --> 00:37:00,799 Speaker 2: lock that they just don't make a fun about this. 705 00:37:01,360 --> 00:37:03,080 Speaker 2: And I had people like DM and me. Do you 706 00:37:03,120 --> 00:37:05,319 Speaker 2: think that they would push the ownership to hire an 707 00:37:05,320 --> 00:37:08,440 Speaker 2: offensive coach. It's kind of hard in football to do 708 00:37:08,680 --> 00:37:12,000 Speaker 2: maneuvering like that. This isn't basketball. But I do think 709 00:37:12,080 --> 00:37:15,040 Speaker 2: that in the next month or two, if I'm the 710 00:37:15,040 --> 00:37:16,799 Speaker 2: owner of the Bears and I've known people that worked 711 00:37:16,800 --> 00:37:19,480 Speaker 2: there and that place is very old school, yes, defense 712 00:37:19,800 --> 00:37:23,000 Speaker 2: very people that have worked several places, they're like, it's 713 00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:25,520 Speaker 2: actually much closer to a mom and pop shop for 714 00:37:25,640 --> 00:37:28,719 Speaker 2: some you know organization. Yeah, for five billion that anyone 715 00:37:28,840 --> 00:37:31,799 Speaker 2: could even fathom. Right, they need to do a lot 716 00:37:31,800 --> 00:37:34,080 Speaker 2: of just kind of looking in the mirror and changing. 717 00:37:34,080 --> 00:37:37,239 Speaker 2: But as long as the ownership is the ownership, I 718 00:37:37,280 --> 00:37:39,680 Speaker 2: don't know if things are going to dramatically change, which 719 00:37:39,719 --> 00:37:40,080 Speaker 2: is sad. 720 00:37:40,280 --> 00:37:42,359 Speaker 1: You know, the ownership went to Bill Pollion. He went 721 00:37:42,400 --> 00:37:45,879 Speaker 1: and got Matt eberflus So, and I don't know much 722 00:37:45,880 --> 00:37:48,080 Speaker 1: about Matt eberflus I have two people that know him, 723 00:37:48,280 --> 00:37:50,799 Speaker 1: like him, nice guy. He inherited. You know, they had 724 00:37:50,840 --> 00:37:53,000 Speaker 1: to move off ropewand Smith, they had to move off 725 00:37:53,000 --> 00:37:56,480 Speaker 1: some defensive players. They're starting over. Then you become very 726 00:37:56,960 --> 00:37:59,759 Speaker 1: beholden to your GM and who he can draft. But 727 00:38:01,239 --> 00:38:03,640 Speaker 1: it's interesting. I've thought about the Bears, like where would 728 00:38:03,680 --> 00:38:06,160 Speaker 1: you go if you flushed it and started over? And 729 00:38:06,239 --> 00:38:10,920 Speaker 1: Lincoln Riley does not want to coach right now? NFL football? Okay, 730 00:38:10,960 --> 00:38:14,000 Speaker 1: So you're like, Okay, the college guy, Ryan Day is 731 00:38:14,080 --> 00:38:17,200 Speaker 1: more served to me. He's more high emotion. He's a 732 00:38:17,239 --> 00:38:19,880 Speaker 1: college coach, not a pro coach. We saw it again 733 00:38:19,920 --> 00:38:21,960 Speaker 1: this week and I like him, but he's raw, raw guy. 734 00:38:22,680 --> 00:38:25,840 Speaker 1: So Kellen Moore, I don't think is ready for Chicago. 735 00:38:26,040 --> 00:38:28,040 Speaker 1: I think he would get the Charger job if Staley 736 00:38:28,040 --> 00:38:31,080 Speaker 1: got fired, So the Chargers wouldn't let him go there. 737 00:38:31,360 --> 00:38:33,560 Speaker 2: Jim Harbaugh would make them probably too uncomfortable. 738 00:38:34,200 --> 00:38:38,839 Speaker 1: Well, Harbaugh is somebody. I Harbaugh would go pro if 739 00:38:38,920 --> 00:38:41,319 Speaker 1: Caleb Williams came out. I think it's the perfect time 740 00:38:41,360 --> 00:38:45,520 Speaker 1: now Harball wants control of personnel. So could they do 741 00:38:45,560 --> 00:38:48,600 Speaker 1: a situation like Sean Payton where Sean Payton comes in, 742 00:38:48,680 --> 00:38:52,600 Speaker 1: Harball comes in is not the initial GM. They just 743 00:38:52,680 --> 00:38:54,600 Speaker 1: make it work for a year and then I think 744 00:38:54,640 --> 00:38:57,279 Speaker 1: Sean will basically take over some personnel here pretty quick. 745 00:38:57,480 --> 00:38:58,120 Speaker 2: I would agree. 746 00:38:59,080 --> 00:39:02,319 Speaker 1: So, but I I if I was, I just don't 747 00:39:02,320 --> 00:39:04,600 Speaker 1: feel good at that. And I'm not saying Justin Fields 748 00:39:04,640 --> 00:39:07,680 Speaker 1: can play it. Today was just like, by this is bad. 749 00:39:09,560 --> 00:39:11,680 Speaker 1: I think I'd start over. I think I would just 750 00:39:11,719 --> 00:39:12,719 Speaker 1: flush it out and start up. 751 00:39:12,800 --> 00:39:13,080 Speaker 2: Listen. 752 00:39:13,400 --> 00:39:15,680 Speaker 1: A couple of years ago, Ryan Polls to GM drafted 753 00:39:15,719 --> 00:39:18,719 Speaker 1: VELAs Jones in the third round. Wide receiver, USC who 754 00:39:18,719 --> 00:39:21,520 Speaker 1: transferred to Tennessee couldn't play a lick at either place. 755 00:39:21,600 --> 00:39:24,440 Speaker 1: It's like watch film. He couldn't. He couldn't, he couldn't 756 00:39:24,440 --> 00:39:26,520 Speaker 1: track the ball. He's a receiver who couldn't track the 757 00:39:26,520 --> 00:39:28,720 Speaker 1: ball like I saw that pick it. I'm like, Okay, 758 00:39:28,840 --> 00:39:29,839 Speaker 1: they don't know what they're doing. 759 00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:33,120 Speaker 2: Well, I can't get over Week one when Chase Claypool 760 00:39:33,200 --> 00:39:35,720 Speaker 2: did what he did, which was nothing and didn't even try, 761 00:39:35,880 --> 00:39:38,200 Speaker 2: and they got embarrassed and they just didn't cut him 762 00:39:38,200 --> 00:39:40,360 Speaker 2: the next day to kind of draw a line in 763 00:39:40,360 --> 00:39:43,120 Speaker 2: the sand as their organization, this will not be tolerated. 764 00:39:43,480 --> 00:39:46,480 Speaker 2: An Andy Reid, a Pete Carroll, that would never be allowed, 765 00:39:46,520 --> 00:39:49,160 Speaker 2: Bill Belichick and back. And you've been talking about this 766 00:39:49,200 --> 00:39:50,720 Speaker 2: for a long time. Think about some of the coaches 767 00:39:50,800 --> 00:39:53,960 Speaker 2: right now. Robert salom Was, Zach Wilson, ebra Flus with 768 00:39:54,080 --> 00:39:56,799 Speaker 2: Justin Fields. They can do nothing to help that guy 769 00:39:57,239 --> 00:39:59,920 Speaker 2: besides just philosophically be like, run the ball more. But 770 00:40:00,080 --> 00:40:02,640 Speaker 2: they can't be in the meeting room coaching them up, 771 00:40:02,960 --> 00:40:06,400 Speaker 2: designing plays. So even when you get into a pinch, 772 00:40:06,760 --> 00:40:09,760 Speaker 2: if you're Sean McVay last year, you can influence Baker 773 00:40:09,760 --> 00:40:11,479 Speaker 2: Mayfield when you pick them up off the scripe because 774 00:40:11,480 --> 00:40:13,880 Speaker 2: you're the guy gonna be working with them, or Kyle Shanner, 775 00:40:13,840 --> 00:40:16,839 Speaker 2: all these Lafleur with Jordan Love, they can work through 776 00:40:16,880 --> 00:40:19,160 Speaker 2: things like you saw today it was not going well. 777 00:40:19,200 --> 00:40:21,320 Speaker 2: Then Lafour's on a knee over with them, Robert Salaz 778 00:40:21,360 --> 00:40:23,360 Speaker 2: just on the sideline as Zach Wilson's running for his 779 00:40:23,440 --> 00:40:27,840 Speaker 2: life skipping balls. He has no Mike Tomlin with Kenny 780 00:40:27,840 --> 00:40:30,120 Speaker 2: Pickett when things go bad, like, what can he actually 781 00:40:30,200 --> 00:40:32,799 Speaker 2: do besides some Ryan day raw Ross beaches. And I'm 782 00:40:32,800 --> 00:40:36,160 Speaker 2: not saying they're not, you know, capable and obviously accomplished 783 00:40:36,200 --> 00:40:38,680 Speaker 2: and know what they're doing leading a group of men, 784 00:40:39,120 --> 00:40:42,160 Speaker 2: But when it gets into the schematics and the coaching 785 00:40:42,200 --> 00:40:46,600 Speaker 2: specifically of that position, these defensive coordinators that are head 786 00:40:46,600 --> 00:40:50,759 Speaker 2: coaches just can't do much beside build some confidence by 787 00:40:50,760 --> 00:40:52,279 Speaker 2: whispering in their ear. Yeah. 788 00:40:52,360 --> 00:40:54,279 Speaker 1: No, I think that's why I think with Chicago, I 789 00:40:54,280 --> 00:40:56,239 Speaker 1: think you kind of burn it down started over. I 790 00:40:56,239 --> 00:40:59,520 Speaker 1: think you go get a Caleb Williams. And I'm not 791 00:40:59,520 --> 00:41:02,160 Speaker 1: saying if Kingsbury would get a second shot. It felt 792 00:41:02,160 --> 00:41:03,680 Speaker 1: like he was a little over his skis, but he 793 00:41:03,719 --> 00:41:07,400 Speaker 1: did get them to the playoffs. And I know Kingsbury 794 00:41:07,680 --> 00:41:11,560 Speaker 1: at USC and Caleb have a great relationship and he 795 00:41:11,640 --> 00:41:13,640 Speaker 1: feels like he could he I don't know if he'd 796 00:41:13,640 --> 00:41:16,359 Speaker 1: ever want to go. You know, he to me, he's 797 00:41:16,360 --> 00:41:19,480 Speaker 1: either I think Cliff would like to get another pro 798 00:41:19,600 --> 00:41:22,560 Speaker 1: job and I but it's you know, basically, Chicago's a 799 00:41:22,600 --> 00:41:25,719 Speaker 1: cold weather Arizona where you don't trust the ownership, you 800 00:41:25,719 --> 00:41:28,480 Speaker 1: don't trust the front office. You just you're as good 801 00:41:28,480 --> 00:41:32,840 Speaker 1: as your quarterback. But as little confident as I have 802 00:41:32,960 --> 00:41:35,399 Speaker 1: in justin fields, I think there's a lot of blame 803 00:41:35,480 --> 00:41:37,399 Speaker 1: to go around. And to your point, I don't think 804 00:41:37,440 --> 00:41:40,759 Speaker 1: these defensive coordinators can figure it out. I do want 805 00:41:40,760 --> 00:41:43,200 Speaker 1: to want to talk before we go, and I had 806 00:41:43,239 --> 00:41:46,360 Speaker 1: said this earlier. Yeah, Denver's defense has been a mess 807 00:41:46,400 --> 00:41:49,279 Speaker 1: this year. So obviously not all the blame goes on 808 00:41:49,760 --> 00:41:55,239 Speaker 1: Russell Wilson. But this is going to be a fascinating 809 00:41:55,760 --> 00:42:00,760 Speaker 1: cultural situation because Russell's never been really popular in the room. 810 00:42:02,120 --> 00:42:05,359 Speaker 1: He's been popular with public, good media, but not in 811 00:42:05,400 --> 00:42:07,680 Speaker 1: the room. He leaves Seattle, he got dogged by like 812 00:42:07,719 --> 00:42:12,160 Speaker 1: five guys, and so that's big to Sean Payton. I 813 00:42:12,239 --> 00:42:14,560 Speaker 1: know Sean well enough. In the room is what he 814 00:42:14,880 --> 00:42:17,359 Speaker 1: really cares about. That's why he said those things stop 815 00:42:17,440 --> 00:42:20,360 Speaker 1: kissing babies? Mean, who gives a shit what anybody outside 816 00:42:20,360 --> 00:42:24,399 Speaker 1: the room thinks? Win the room over. I wonder if 817 00:42:24,400 --> 00:42:27,799 Speaker 1: Sean Payton has already made a decision like I'm out 818 00:42:27,800 --> 00:42:30,040 Speaker 1: on this. This guy isn't me. It doesn't work because 819 00:42:30,160 --> 00:42:33,439 Speaker 1: they're really polar opposites in terms of personality. How long 820 00:42:33,480 --> 00:42:34,759 Speaker 1: before he bails completely? 821 00:42:35,000 --> 00:42:37,040 Speaker 2: I mean, I think he could make a change in 822 00:42:37,040 --> 00:42:39,120 Speaker 2: the next three or four weeks and just justify it. 823 00:42:39,160 --> 00:42:42,400 Speaker 2: We need a spark though. Obviously today Russell didn't give 824 00:42:42,480 --> 00:42:45,919 Speaker 2: up seventy points. I mean seventy points Colin's I don't 825 00:42:45,920 --> 00:42:50,120 Speaker 2: know how you shake that. I never thought they were 826 00:42:50,120 --> 00:42:54,520 Speaker 2: a great fit, just personality wise. Clearly Russell is not 827 00:42:54,680 --> 00:42:58,799 Speaker 2: the same and this organization needs a complete blow up. 828 00:42:58,840 --> 00:43:01,759 Speaker 2: The problem is, what do you do right the contract 829 00:43:02,160 --> 00:43:05,400 Speaker 2: for several years, from dead cap money to cap space 830 00:43:05,480 --> 00:43:07,839 Speaker 2: the bonus you paid him, you're kind of stuck with him. 831 00:43:08,080 --> 00:43:11,200 Speaker 2: He has no trade value, so you can't really get 832 00:43:11,239 --> 00:43:13,560 Speaker 2: rid of him. Essentially, you probably one year if you 833 00:43:13,600 --> 00:43:15,680 Speaker 2: did get a really high pick, which they keep giving 834 00:43:15,800 --> 00:43:17,879 Speaker 2: up seventy points, I'll promise you they will get one. 835 00:43:18,360 --> 00:43:21,200 Speaker 2: Do you just cut them, take the enormous dead cap 836 00:43:21,280 --> 00:43:23,760 Speaker 2: for like the year because it accelerates on your books, 837 00:43:24,239 --> 00:43:26,239 Speaker 2: and just roll with a young quarterback and just kind 838 00:43:26,239 --> 00:43:28,600 Speaker 2: of cut bait and move on. You know, the Eagles 839 00:43:28,600 --> 00:43:30,920 Speaker 2: were all were lucky with Carson Wentz right, they were 840 00:43:30,960 --> 00:43:33,279 Speaker 2: able to kind of just get rid of them, and 841 00:43:33,320 --> 00:43:35,360 Speaker 2: even though and it actually ended up giving them a 842 00:43:35,360 --> 00:43:37,319 Speaker 2: first round pick from the Colts. But a lot of 843 00:43:37,320 --> 00:43:41,040 Speaker 2: times in these situations you can unload it, and this one, 844 00:43:41,080 --> 00:43:43,040 Speaker 2: to me is not going to be an unloading situation. 845 00:43:43,120 --> 00:43:46,440 Speaker 2: But he's got the quarterback, Like you said, the GM. 846 00:43:46,760 --> 00:43:49,200 Speaker 2: He didn't hire this GM like this GM. He's playing 847 00:43:49,280 --> 00:43:52,480 Speaker 2: nice for a year. This is this happens all the time, 848 00:43:52,600 --> 00:43:54,920 Speaker 2: and then he'll get bringing his own guy is the 849 00:43:54,960 --> 00:43:57,480 Speaker 2: defensive coordinator, Vance Joseph. Look at his resume lately. 850 00:43:57,520 --> 00:43:58,879 Speaker 1: It is no he'll get he'll get lack. 851 00:43:59,040 --> 00:44:02,840 Speaker 2: Different's defense last year was good and now today, I 852 00:44:02,840 --> 00:44:05,360 Speaker 2: mean they quit. The only way to give up seventy 853 00:44:05,360 --> 00:44:08,480 Speaker 2: points is by quitting and tapping out and literally not trying. 854 00:44:08,560 --> 00:44:12,400 Speaker 2: So he's going to have an entire organizational He probably 855 00:44:12,440 --> 00:44:15,120 Speaker 2: thought he had some you know, uh in terms of 856 00:44:15,160 --> 00:44:18,040 Speaker 2: making some steps forward this offseason, but it's clear that 857 00:44:18,120 --> 00:44:20,839 Speaker 2: they're worse than last year. Like it's pretty crazy because 858 00:44:20,840 --> 00:44:24,400 Speaker 2: at least last year the defensive coordinator that's now in Carolina, 859 00:44:25,120 --> 00:44:26,919 Speaker 2: they were good on defense at least for a long 860 00:44:26,960 --> 00:44:28,799 Speaker 2: percentage of the you know, the season, until they kind 861 00:44:28,800 --> 00:44:30,720 Speaker 2: of ran out of juice. But I think Sean Pay's 862 00:44:30,760 --> 00:44:33,520 Speaker 2: got to blow the entire thing up, and the rough situation, 863 00:44:34,360 --> 00:44:36,680 Speaker 2: you're just kind of stuck unless you want to cut 864 00:44:36,760 --> 00:44:39,479 Speaker 2: him and just take you know, historically high dead cap. 865 00:44:39,640 --> 00:44:42,319 Speaker 2: But then you've got to rehaul your defensive staff. You 866 00:44:42,320 --> 00:44:44,759 Speaker 2: don't have that, you know, your draft picks. U There'll 867 00:44:44,800 --> 00:44:46,560 Speaker 2: just be a lot of pressure on this team because 868 00:44:46,600 --> 00:44:50,520 Speaker 2: they are nowhere close that I mean today was I mean, 869 00:44:50,560 --> 00:44:52,200 Speaker 2: is that one of the most embarrassing days in the 870 00:44:52,239 --> 00:44:54,160 Speaker 2: history of the NFL? You think for one given team. 871 00:44:54,080 --> 00:44:56,439 Speaker 1: It's it's really ugly. You know, I was thinking about 872 00:44:56,440 --> 00:45:01,200 Speaker 1: this so Sean and I I'm not like a close close, 873 00:45:01,280 --> 00:45:04,719 Speaker 1: but you know, we have a nice relationship, and you 874 00:45:04,760 --> 00:45:06,839 Speaker 1: know when you know, he had called me a couple 875 00:45:06,880 --> 00:45:10,480 Speaker 1: of times about Fox and negotiating a TV deal, and 876 00:45:10,600 --> 00:45:13,840 Speaker 1: he really wanted to live in Manhattan Beach and coach 877 00:45:14,400 --> 00:45:18,359 Speaker 1: the Chargers. And I thought he was just gonna wait 878 00:45:18,400 --> 00:45:21,360 Speaker 1: for a year because neither I didn't think Brandon and 879 00:45:21,440 --> 00:45:24,640 Speaker 1: Staley was gonna last. And then we were communicating a lot, 880 00:45:24,760 --> 00:45:26,600 Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden, Sean and I weren't 881 00:45:26,600 --> 00:45:29,880 Speaker 1: communicating a lot and then and my takeaway was okay. 882 00:45:29,920 --> 00:45:31,520 Speaker 1: So I didn't want to bother him and pester him. 883 00:45:31,520 --> 00:45:34,000 Speaker 1: That's his you know, I've been doing this long enough. 884 00:45:34,040 --> 00:45:37,160 Speaker 1: I know when somebody stops communicating, you're probably a negotiation. 885 00:45:37,600 --> 00:45:40,440 Speaker 1: And I didn't know exactly who, but I kind of 886 00:45:40,480 --> 00:45:42,920 Speaker 1: felt Denver because that's the stuff I was hearing about. 887 00:45:43,320 --> 00:45:45,640 Speaker 1: And I got to be honest, I was surprised he 888 00:45:45,680 --> 00:45:50,120 Speaker 1: took the job because he had said on the air 889 00:45:50,200 --> 00:45:54,080 Speaker 1: there were concerns about Russell Wilson right and I. And 890 00:45:54,320 --> 00:45:56,920 Speaker 1: this wasn't private conversation he had. You know, there's concerns 891 00:45:56,960 --> 00:46:00,960 Speaker 1: about basketball on grass does does he does he have it? 892 00:46:01,560 --> 00:46:04,720 Speaker 1: So it's just so interesting because I would have bet 893 00:46:04,920 --> 00:46:07,680 Speaker 1: my four oh one K a year ago that he 894 00:46:07,719 --> 00:46:10,480 Speaker 1: would have just stayed. Fox was paying him. I imagined 895 00:46:10,520 --> 00:46:13,080 Speaker 1: good money, I know, good money. He would have just 896 00:46:13,760 --> 00:46:16,440 Speaker 1: stayed and just waited for the Charger situation. But you know, 897 00:46:16,480 --> 00:46:20,400 Speaker 1: it's funny with coaches, they always you know, I've seen 898 00:46:20,840 --> 00:46:24,920 Speaker 1: and friends years ago, Mike Dunlevy took a clipper job 899 00:46:24,960 --> 00:46:27,320 Speaker 1: and I'm like Mike. He took the Blazers of the 900 00:46:27,360 --> 00:46:30,560 Speaker 1: Western Conference Finals and arguably, you know, outplayed the Lakers 901 00:46:30,560 --> 00:46:33,480 Speaker 1: shack And and Kobe. But you know, somebody offers you fifteen 902 00:46:33,480 --> 00:46:36,560 Speaker 1: and eighteen million bucks or whatever it is, and I 903 00:46:36,719 --> 00:46:39,640 Speaker 1: just I don't think this was ever an ideal fit. 904 00:46:39,800 --> 00:46:42,319 Speaker 1: But money talks, and I think I look at it 905 00:46:42,360 --> 00:46:44,600 Speaker 1: now and I think, yeah, all the things I thought 906 00:46:44,640 --> 00:46:48,719 Speaker 1: could possibly go wrong, not his GM, Russ and him, 907 00:46:48,719 --> 00:46:52,600 Speaker 1: don't click, tough division. They're all realities today. 908 00:46:52,440 --> 00:46:54,239 Speaker 2: Don't you think The wild card in this situation is 909 00:46:54,239 --> 00:46:57,520 Speaker 2: this ownership. I mean, this family top two or three 910 00:46:57,560 --> 00:47:01,279 Speaker 2: wealthiest family in the world America, and they are not 911 00:47:01,480 --> 00:47:05,400 Speaker 2: used to failing ever, So you know who knows the 912 00:47:05,480 --> 00:47:09,520 Speaker 2: dynamics they are obviously Sean is, you know, a very driven, 913 00:47:09,600 --> 00:47:13,360 Speaker 2: intense individual. This family's used to things. I mean, they've 914 00:47:13,440 --> 00:47:16,240 Speaker 2: been on I wouldn't say easy street, but their business 915 00:47:16,239 --> 00:47:18,560 Speaker 2: that's been kind of on cruise control for a while. 916 00:47:18,600 --> 00:47:20,960 Speaker 2: This has to be a shock to their system about 917 00:47:20,960 --> 00:47:23,960 Speaker 2: what they're witnessing. And then the nature of unlike when 918 00:47:24,000 --> 00:47:27,040 Speaker 2: you own even major corporations, they just don't get talked 919 00:47:27,040 --> 00:47:29,120 Speaker 2: about like they do in terms of you drive around 920 00:47:29,120 --> 00:47:32,040 Speaker 2: Denver tomorrow, turn sports radio. Everyone's you know, talking shit 921 00:47:32,120 --> 00:47:34,720 Speaker 2: about the thing you own. It's some people can't especially 922 00:47:34,760 --> 00:47:37,680 Speaker 2: new the new owner syndrome. That could be overwhelming and 923 00:47:37,719 --> 00:47:39,600 Speaker 2: things could get weird. Things get weird fast. 924 00:47:39,760 --> 00:47:43,239 Speaker 1: Yeah, the you know, I think, you know, the minute 925 00:47:43,280 --> 00:47:45,919 Speaker 1: he could he signed Jarrett Stidham. I think he had reservations. 926 00:47:45,960 --> 00:47:48,640 Speaker 1: You know, Sean went and looked at every throw Russell 927 00:47:48,680 --> 00:47:53,600 Speaker 1: Wilson made, and I'm sure he saw things from the 928 00:47:53,680 --> 00:47:56,600 Speaker 1: pocket right co Sell comes on my show weekly. He's 929 00:47:56,640 --> 00:47:59,360 Speaker 1: been saying it for years. Russell Wilson from the pocket 930 00:47:59,520 --> 00:48:02,759 Speaker 1: leaves a lot of throws out there. Sean saw that, 931 00:48:03,360 --> 00:48:05,080 Speaker 1: and so he went and got Stidham, a guy that 932 00:48:05,080 --> 00:48:09,719 Speaker 1: can run his offense complete easy throws. So I just 933 00:48:09,719 --> 00:48:11,680 Speaker 1: don't think this relationship is gonna work. I don't think 934 00:48:11,719 --> 00:48:14,920 Speaker 1: this is all on Russell. But you know, you give 935 00:48:15,000 --> 00:48:16,960 Speaker 1: up draft capital, you pay him, You're going to take 936 00:48:17,000 --> 00:48:20,080 Speaker 1: the heat. And I do think the team quit today. 937 00:48:20,760 --> 00:48:23,920 Speaker 1: So does that say the locker rooms not great? The 938 00:48:23,960 --> 00:48:26,279 Speaker 1: locker rooms divided? I mean, you don't see teams in 939 00:48:26,320 --> 00:48:28,640 Speaker 1: the NFL quit. Maybe once a year we see a 940 00:48:28,640 --> 00:48:31,600 Speaker 1: team quit. You don't see him quit in week three, 941 00:48:32,800 --> 00:48:37,359 Speaker 1: like that's a problem. It's week twelve, right, everybody's you know, 942 00:48:37,920 --> 00:48:40,160 Speaker 1: everything's put on film, So guys just don't quit in 943 00:48:40,200 --> 00:48:40,600 Speaker 1: this league. 944 00:48:40,640 --> 00:48:41,240 Speaker 2: You just don't. 945 00:48:41,800 --> 00:48:45,720 Speaker 1: Monday, it's on film. Week three, guys quit like that. 946 00:48:45,719 --> 00:48:48,400 Speaker 1: That tells me there's a cultural issue. And Russell's the 947 00:48:48,440 --> 00:48:49,239 Speaker 1: biggest star in. 948 00:48:49,160 --> 00:48:51,520 Speaker 2: That room, saving grace for Sean those. He has the 949 00:48:51,600 --> 00:48:55,120 Speaker 2: Raiders and the Chargers in his division. So it makes 950 00:48:55,120 --> 00:48:56,960 Speaker 2: it a little bit easier if you could ever just 951 00:48:56,960 --> 00:48:58,680 Speaker 2: get a couple of pieces in there and get it 952 00:48:58,760 --> 00:48:59,520 Speaker 2: rolling in the right. 953 00:48:59,360 --> 00:49:02,640 Speaker 1: Direction, right, John Middlecoff three and out.
