1 00:00:09,160 --> 00:00:13,520 Speaker 1: Well, well, well what is up? John Middlecop three and 2 00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:17,520 Speaker 1: Out podcast, back at it again down the home stretch. 3 00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:21,320 Speaker 1: Sad to say, we got three games left, two championship 4 00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:24,759 Speaker 1: games Sunday, then the Super Bowl UM, and then we 5 00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:30,400 Speaker 1: got the off season, so combine draft but actual games. 6 00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:35,120 Speaker 1: We got three left until the Hall of Fame game, 7 00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:40,000 Speaker 1: which is usually in in early August. So enjoy these last, 8 00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:43,040 Speaker 1: you know, three games, and let's hope they are a 9 00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:46,199 Speaker 1: little better than what we just witnessed this weekend. And 10 00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:49,720 Speaker 1: while the matchups were great on paper, it was a 11 00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:54,920 Speaker 1: pretty crappy weekend just from entertainment standpoint might be the 12 00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:57,520 Speaker 1: wrong word, because I mean I could watch any NFL 13 00:00:57,560 --> 00:01:02,040 Speaker 1: game and probably be entertained, But just from a competitive standpoint, 14 00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:07,039 Speaker 1: cold Chiefs blowout, uh the game in the morning Sunday 15 00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:11,559 Speaker 1: morning pet Patriots. Chargers blowout in the Rams game. While 16 00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:14,759 Speaker 1: it wasn't a blowout, Dallas just kind of gotta take 17 00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:18,000 Speaker 1: into him. But I want to start with the afternoon game. 18 00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:22,360 Speaker 1: And just I've been saying all season long that the 19 00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:25,720 Speaker 1: day and age of the meat head coach is done. 20 00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:29,240 Speaker 1: It's dead in the NFL, that there's too much money 21 00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:32,920 Speaker 1: on the line. These owners and clearly, picking a coach, 22 00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:38,360 Speaker 1: probably of any position in in like high level business, 23 00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:41,120 Speaker 1: you know, in a billion dollar industry, is the most 24 00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:44,040 Speaker 1: difficult in the sense that and maybe it's like this 25 00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:46,760 Speaker 1: with any CEO you know of a company. But I 26 00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:51,240 Speaker 1: would say in most companies, I can quantify what that 27 00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:54,800 Speaker 1: guy has done as the CFO, as the lead sales guy, like, 28 00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:57,880 Speaker 1: there are usually numbers to back it up. In football, 29 00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:00,400 Speaker 1: like especially lately, there are a lot of guys that 30 00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:02,600 Speaker 1: have been hired just in the history of the league 31 00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:06,840 Speaker 1: that hadn't been coordinators. Uh, maybe we're a coordinator, but 32 00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:09,320 Speaker 1: worked on a team where the head coach was calling plays, 33 00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:13,400 Speaker 1: so it was impossible to kind of know exactly what 34 00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:16,400 Speaker 1: he was doing. But one thing is clear. And there's 35 00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:19,760 Speaker 1: a reason why I'm not that all in on John 36 00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:23,680 Speaker 1: Harbor anymore. It's why I'm pretty critical of Anthony Lynn 37 00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:27,120 Speaker 1: uh any raw, It's why Zimmer. The one thing I 38 00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:29,240 Speaker 1: will say for Zimmer, while he is old school, at 39 00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:32,480 Speaker 1: least he does something like on game day, Mike Zimmer 40 00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:36,600 Speaker 1: calls the defense. So to me, that is really important. Uh. 41 00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:39,880 Speaker 1: And if you're hiring a coach in two thousand nineteen, 42 00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:42,639 Speaker 1: he better call the side of the ball, preferably offense. 43 00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:45,880 Speaker 1: But if I am hiring a defensive coach, he better 44 00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:49,839 Speaker 1: be my defensive coordinator because I think when you see 45 00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:53,760 Speaker 1: listen in pro sports, it's about winning and losing. And 46 00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:58,040 Speaker 1: an owner if if you could hire a dog to 47 00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:00,960 Speaker 1: coach your team in any pro sport and they would 48 00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:03,680 Speaker 1: win the championship, an owner with like no one cares 49 00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:07,720 Speaker 1: if you win, but to me, when you lose, that's 50 00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:11,280 Speaker 1: what I judge you even more harshly. And I think 51 00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:14,120 Speaker 1: I learned more about you. Like the Eagles lost on 52 00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:18,520 Speaker 1: Sunday afternoon, but it's pretty clear Doug Peterson go toe 53 00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:21,760 Speaker 1: to toe with anyone as a play caller, and his 54 00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:24,280 Speaker 1: team is ready to go. He doesn't need to give 55 00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:27,440 Speaker 1: me a million new rotten me speeches. Need to bring 56 00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:31,800 Speaker 1: like some mountain lion, you know to a halftime speech. Uh, 57 00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:34,880 Speaker 1: you know, bring some former Indian chief for just all 58 00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:38,360 Speaker 1: the stuff that like John Harbaugh does did Anthony Lynn 59 00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:44,600 Speaker 1: got his ass worked on Sunday morning and the game 60 00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:47,840 Speaker 1: ends and the score was I mean, you talk about 61 00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:51,200 Speaker 1: hollow touchdowns in that game. That game felt like fifty 62 00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:54,280 Speaker 1: and nothing. At halftime. I think it was literally thirty seven, 63 00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:59,040 Speaker 1: I mean an absolute massacre. And if I was Dean Spanos, 64 00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:03,160 Speaker 1: and hopefully I would love Dean Spanoss bankroll, I would 65 00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:06,480 Speaker 1: never aspire to think like him. I can't. I I 66 00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:09,840 Speaker 1: despise cheap rich people like I really have a bit. 67 00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:13,480 Speaker 1: I'm talking like super super rich people that are they're cheap. 68 00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:17,520 Speaker 1: They just bother me. Uh So, hopefully if I was 69 00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:19,560 Speaker 1: super rich and own an NFL team, I would not 70 00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:22,320 Speaker 1: operate like Dean Spanos. But if I was Dean, like 71 00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:24,680 Speaker 1: if I'm Jeffrey Lurie and I go toe to toe 72 00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:27,640 Speaker 1: with the Saints on the road, who are the number 73 00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:31,400 Speaker 1: one seed? I take away there. I learned more about 74 00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:34,680 Speaker 1: Doug Peterson in their one playoff lost these last two 75 00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:37,400 Speaker 1: years as much as I learned in any of the 76 00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:40,880 Speaker 1: playoff wins. I mean, you get a guy that can't 77 00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:44,320 Speaker 1: go just big time coach, and that's what he's calling 78 00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:48,080 Speaker 1: the plays he's coaching. He's getting his team ready, prepared 79 00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:50,520 Speaker 1: mentally and physically, Like that's what a coach looks like. 80 00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:54,799 Speaker 1: When the Charger's season ends, I go, what did Anthony 81 00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:58,120 Speaker 1: Lynne just do in that game? He doesn't call the offense, 82 00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:01,800 Speaker 1: he doesn't call the defense. Like that. That's my problem 83 00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:05,640 Speaker 1: with these raw rock coaches like John Harbaugh. He's running 84 00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:09,799 Speaker 1: through coordinators every stinking year because he doesn't know anything 85 00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:13,400 Speaker 1: about offense, and he's he keeps his fingers crossed and 86 00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:15,080 Speaker 1: he gets a good defensive coordinator cause he's not a 87 00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:20,320 Speaker 1: defensive coordinator either, Like, at least if I'm gonna hire 88 00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:23,119 Speaker 1: a guy so I get like the Kingsburys, the lat Flours, 89 00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:26,279 Speaker 1: I don't love all these hires gays arians like and 90 00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:29,120 Speaker 1: I know arians quote unquote that he's not calling the offense, 91 00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:33,200 Speaker 1: but like, don't get it twisted. He's running those meetings. 92 00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:36,560 Speaker 1: I want my coach to call the plays. I want 93 00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:38,760 Speaker 1: to know what he's doing. If I was a fan 94 00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:42,360 Speaker 1: in my coach and listen, belichicks an outlier. He knows 95 00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:45,600 Speaker 1: everything that every players doing on every play. I don't 96 00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:49,160 Speaker 1: think Anthony Lynn would know their offensive playbook, you know, 97 00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:52,279 Speaker 1: like I mean seriously, like know the whole thing like 98 00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:56,279 Speaker 1: the back of his hand. No chance, like they go 99 00:05:56,360 --> 00:06:00,279 Speaker 1: as far as Rivers and as Wizard Hud take him. 100 00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:02,440 Speaker 1: And that's my issue with like a coach like that. 101 00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:05,240 Speaker 1: You get blown out and you think to yourself, what 102 00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:09,919 Speaker 1: did he really do? Like the Raw Ross speeches in January, 103 00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:13,839 Speaker 1: and football becomes the ultimate chess game, and obviously Belichick's 104 00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:15,640 Speaker 1: the best ever. So I didn't even really expect them 105 00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:18,400 Speaker 1: to win, though I picked him. But if you're gonna 106 00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:20,279 Speaker 1: get to the second and third round of the playoffs, 107 00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:22,960 Speaker 1: you gotta be at least able to hang with Bobby 108 00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:26,000 Speaker 1: Fisher on a Cheff's board. Doesn't mean you're gonna beat him, 109 00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:29,200 Speaker 1: but if you can't, Like if you look at Anthony 110 00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:32,239 Speaker 1: Lynn on Sunday morning, he was sitting there with Bobby 111 00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:34,440 Speaker 1: Fisher and he might as well just thrown me across 112 00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:36,279 Speaker 1: the table, you have no I don't even know what 113 00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:39,440 Speaker 1: a pawn is. I don't even know where to put it. Adjustments. 114 00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:43,040 Speaker 1: He can't adjust, He doesn't set the plan like Doug 115 00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:46,520 Speaker 1: can constantly adjust. Sean McVeigh can constantly adjust. That would 116 00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:49,520 Speaker 1: be my question mark with Jason Garrett, like what did 117 00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:51,599 Speaker 1: he really do? You're not calling the offense, you're not 118 00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:54,039 Speaker 1: calling the defense. So when I get into a match, 119 00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:57,400 Speaker 1: or you know, into a situation in a game where 120 00:06:57,400 --> 00:07:01,960 Speaker 1: I'm outmatched, like Belichick constantly hit you with a counter move, 121 00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:05,839 Speaker 1: Sean McVeigh can tweak things. Same with Andy Reid, same 122 00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:09,200 Speaker 1: with even Pete Carroll can slightly adjust. What's Anthony Lynn 123 00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:13,640 Speaker 1: gonna tell his coordinators, you know, keep trying, guys, win 124 00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:17,480 Speaker 1: one for the skipper. I mean, it's just my coach, 125 00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:20,160 Speaker 1: Doug Peterson. Look at all the goaches that you left 126 00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:23,040 Speaker 1: this this offseason impressed with it. I know the Colts 127 00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:26,320 Speaker 1: got their ass kicked. But Frank Wright calls the place, 128 00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:28,880 Speaker 1: so you go. You know what, luck had a bad game, 129 00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:32,440 Speaker 1: they ran into a bus hot arrowhead. I mean, football 130 00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:34,280 Speaker 1: gods were bound to give them a win at home 131 00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:36,640 Speaker 1: at least, I know. Frank Wright brings up to the table. 132 00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:40,880 Speaker 1: Andy calls the place. McVeigh calls the place. Jason Garrett claps, 133 00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:43,760 Speaker 1: and I like Jason Garrett more than most, but I 134 00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:46,960 Speaker 1: I don't like my head coach not to be doing 135 00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:49,920 Speaker 1: one of those two things. Not in today's day and age, 136 00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:51,680 Speaker 1: Not with the amount of money that's on the line, 137 00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:54,600 Speaker 1: Not with how smart all these coaches are. I mean, 138 00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:57,800 Speaker 1: Anthony Lynn, it was like took a dull butter knife 139 00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:02,920 Speaker 1: to uh fight the Seal team six Like good luck, buddy. 140 00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:06,800 Speaker 1: I mean Belichick. You know, if it was a war, 141 00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:09,080 Speaker 1: Belichick would have killed him within the first two minutes, 142 00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:12,880 Speaker 1: it wasn't even a fair fight. In the afternoon, Sean Payton, 143 00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:16,360 Speaker 1: who is clearly one of the best offensive coaches the 144 00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:19,200 Speaker 1: NFL has ever seen, and their team's really good. They 145 00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:21,760 Speaker 1: got a Hall of Fame quarterback. I mean, had to 146 00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:24,880 Speaker 1: empty the tank against an Eagles team that had a 147 00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:29,440 Speaker 1: rash of injuries. I mean, their best offensive lineman tears Achilles, 148 00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:33,199 Speaker 1: their best defensive lineman disappears for half the game, Fletcher Cox. 149 00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:36,160 Speaker 1: They're playing with their backup quarterback and they're just going 150 00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:39,079 Speaker 1: toe for toe, blow for blow. I mean that that's 151 00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:40,960 Speaker 1: what I want out of a coach. So when you 152 00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:43,920 Speaker 1: hear me say these meadhead guys, this is what I'm 153 00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:46,079 Speaker 1: talking about. If you're not calling a side of the 154 00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:48,520 Speaker 1: ball or don't have a long history of doing it 155 00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:52,520 Speaker 1: like Pete Carroll and Bill Belichick and those guys are outliers. 156 00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:55,320 Speaker 1: Like it's it's been the downfall of John Harbaugh these 157 00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:58,840 Speaker 1: last five or six years. What what what's his true 158 00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:02,280 Speaker 1: adjustments he making at halftime? I know what Doug and McVeigh. 159 00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:04,719 Speaker 1: It's why I'm even bullish on like Kyle Shannigan. When 160 00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:07,920 Speaker 1: Jimmy Garoppolos played Kyle Shanahan six and two. I know 161 00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:11,599 Speaker 1: he's a dynamic schemer. That's why I love the Bruce Arians. 162 00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:15,600 Speaker 1: You know, higher He's a dynamic offensive schemer. That's what 163 00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:18,600 Speaker 1: I want out of a coach. That's what every owner 164 00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:20,720 Speaker 1: wants out of a coach. Now, again, a lot of 165 00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:24,640 Speaker 1: these hires are not gonna work. But I get why 166 00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:27,160 Speaker 1: tweaker Adam Gaze. You know, I don't know if you 167 00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:29,199 Speaker 1: guys saw the press conference, but just google it. I mean, 168 00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:30,800 Speaker 1: he had some weird eye movements. I get what the 169 00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:33,120 Speaker 1: Jets are doing.

Just look at the 173 00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:46,440 Speaker 1: final four. You got Belichick, the smartest guy in the 174 00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:48,440 Speaker 1: history of the league and the best coach. You got 175 00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:51,520 Speaker 1: Andy Reid, one of the most innovative offensive coaches and 176 00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:53,880 Speaker 1: one of the most successful guys in the last twenty years. 177 00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:57,160 Speaker 1: Sean Payton super Bowl champ, and like Andy, one of 178 00:09:57,200 --> 00:10:00,719 Speaker 1: the true great offensive minds. And Sean McVeigh feels like 179 00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:06,480 Speaker 1: John Gruden twenty years later, which happier. John Gruden like that. 180 00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:08,320 Speaker 1: That's what it takes to get to the final four.

Okay, I'm a 204 00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:33,400 Speaker 1: little biased on this one, but a lot of people 205 00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:36,559 Speaker 1: have been hating the last I don't know, four or 206 00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:40,680 Speaker 1: five years on coach read in Kansas City. He can't 207 00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:44,440 Speaker 1: win the big game. He can't do it. It's likely 208 00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:48,600 Speaker 1: forgot Philadelphia happened when he had a Pro Bowl level quarterback. 209 00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:50,720 Speaker 1: I'm not talking about a guy who made the Pro 210 00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:54,280 Speaker 1: Bowl like Alex Smith. I'm talking a legit Pro Bowl 211 00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:58,640 Speaker 1: talent like Donovan McNabb. Do you have any playoff games 212 00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:05,160 Speaker 1: Andy Reid was involved with in Philadelphia nine team. You 213 00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:09,600 Speaker 1: don't have many of those games. He won ten, ten 214 00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:15,400 Speaker 1: playoff games in his career in Philadelphia ten. I just 215 00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:18,439 Speaker 1: say that out loud. Ten playoff wins. For example, Sean 216 00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:23,240 Speaker 1: McVeigh has one. Probably after this weekend we'll still have one. 217 00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:26,360 Speaker 1: Like it's hard. Playoff wins are difficult to get. You 218 00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:30,360 Speaker 1: know that they are there. They are a challenge. Uh 219 00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:33,760 Speaker 1: And when he had an elite elite be strong a 220 00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:37,240 Speaker 1: very good quarterback. He won games in the playoffs like 221 00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:41,240 Speaker 1: his teams were a legit factor. Well, in the five 222 00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:44,079 Speaker 1: games he had heading into yesterday in Kansas City, he'd 223 00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:46,880 Speaker 1: only won one. And some of those early teams on 224 00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:50,000 Speaker 1: Kansas City, their defense was elite, Jamal Charles was still 225 00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:53,960 Speaker 1: a baller like they were legit and ultimately, you know, 226 00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:57,360 Speaker 1: Alex Smith was their starter. Now, I know that the 227 00:12:57,400 --> 00:12:59,840 Speaker 1: Colts came storing back the one year and Alex was 228 00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:03,960 Speaker 1: arguably the best game of his career that game. But 229 00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:06,840 Speaker 1: the games that stand out to me are the Pittsburgh 230 00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:08,880 Speaker 1: game at home a couple of years ago when they lost. 231 00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:11,640 Speaker 1: He just couldn't get it done. The game last year 232 00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:15,920 Speaker 1: against Tennessee when Travis Kelsey got knocked out. Ultimately, he 233 00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:20,400 Speaker 1: was their downfall. When I look at this team and 234 00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:24,400 Speaker 1: this Kansas City team offensively is unreal, but it's because 235 00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:27,280 Speaker 1: of the quarterback. Like their team compared to like three 236 00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:30,679 Speaker 1: years ago, Chiefs playoffs team is not as good. I 237 00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:34,120 Speaker 1: don't think they're not as complete by any means. I 238 00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:37,360 Speaker 1: mean some of those you remember some of the teams 239 00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:39,760 Speaker 1: that coach Reid had in his first couple of years 240 00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:43,000 Speaker 1: in Kansas City. You know Eric Berry justin Houston and 241 00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:47,000 Speaker 1: Tomba in their primes, a younger Don Terry Poe, Derrick Johnson, 242 00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:52,079 Speaker 1: a young Marcus Peters, Jamal Charles, they got Kelsey had 243 00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:57,080 Speaker 1: a young Macklin, younger Macklin. Teams are stacked. You know 244 00:13:57,520 --> 00:14:01,600 Speaker 1: this team, it's just it's Mahomes. I mean you see 245 00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:03,200 Speaker 1: what Andy is like when you give him a really 246 00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:06,720 Speaker 1: good quarterback. I mean they were in circles around the Colts, 247 00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:11,720 Speaker 1: absolute circles. The culture good. I mean, the culture solid 248 00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:14,480 Speaker 1: team that the Cults are gonna be a super Bowl 249 00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:18,199 Speaker 1: contender for the next potentially five or six years. And 250 00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:21,960 Speaker 1: he backhanded them with a flawed team. Why because he 251 00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:26,120 Speaker 1: has a superstar quarterback. You give coach Read a legit quarterback, 252 00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:29,320 Speaker 1: He's gonna win games in the playoffs. Why. I have 253 00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:34,120 Speaker 1: a resume it says ten playoff wins in Philadelphia. He 254 00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:37,560 Speaker 1: only had one in Kansas City. Guess what that's about 255 00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:41,840 Speaker 1: to change because Kansas City, their defense really can't get 256 00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:46,120 Speaker 1: much worse. Their secondary can't cover anyone. The linebackers are men. 257 00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:50,560 Speaker 1: Their defensive lines good. But I mean it's that they 258 00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:53,240 Speaker 1: are not a good defense. Imagine in a couple of 259 00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:56,560 Speaker 1: years as the defense gets better, like they're gonna win 260 00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:59,960 Speaker 1: big time with Mahomes. Now is once the Andy win 261 00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:02,560 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl? Are we gonna think that much differently 262 00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:06,440 Speaker 1: of him? I personally won't, but Twitter and the media, 263 00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:10,160 Speaker 1: pundance and fans will. Like he's been one of the 264 00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:13,040 Speaker 1: most innovative head coaches in the last twenty five years. 265 00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:17,080 Speaker 1: He has been one of the more consistent coaches beside 266 00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:20,840 Speaker 1: Belichick of that time. And when he's had a big 267 00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:25,040 Speaker 1: time quarterback, his teams have been a factor. And you 268 00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:27,640 Speaker 1: know what, now that he has Mahomes, they are a 269 00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:32,880 Speaker 1: factor again. And don't forget this either. Obviously McNabb uh 270 00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:37,160 Speaker 1: and then Michael Vick he drafted Nick Foles. I was there, 271 00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:41,000 Speaker 1: like he liked him more than most of us, and 272 00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:44,160 Speaker 1: obviously he got him in that building, and Doug was 273 00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:46,600 Speaker 1: around him, and you know, and Howie you know, I mean, 274 00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:48,600 Speaker 1: all these guys played a role in drafting him too. 275 00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:51,040 Speaker 1: But once you're around Nick, you're like, that guy's a 276 00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:54,600 Speaker 1: great guy. Like Nick Foles started like and he picked him. 277 00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:59,120 Speaker 1: Like Andy's vision on quarterbacks, it's just crazy, just stupid, 278 00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:04,360 Speaker 1: you know, Like I'm glad that Mahomes came along and 279 00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:07,240 Speaker 1: is as good as he is obviously just for our 280 00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:11,040 Speaker 1: viewing pleasure as football fans, because if you're not an 281 00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:13,400 Speaker 1: a f C West fan, beside the Chiefs, he's awesome 282 00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:17,640 Speaker 1: to watch. He's box office, but he also makes Andy 283 00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:21,320 Speaker 1: Reid look like he actually is an elite coach, a 284 00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:26,440 Speaker 1: damn good coach, and Belichick has got him historically, but 285 00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:29,720 Speaker 1: I do think it's his time and it's not easy 286 00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:32,440 Speaker 1: to beat Brady and Belichick, but at home, and we'll 287 00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:35,040 Speaker 1: get into this game, especially a lot later this week, 288 00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:39,600 Speaker 1: but he's too good of a coach to have this 289 00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:42,200 Speaker 1: narrative that he can't win the big game. Now. He 290 00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:44,640 Speaker 1: hasn't won the Super Bowl, but he's sure as hell 291 00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:48,760 Speaker 1: has won playoff games. That's his twelve playoff victory. Twelve 292 00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:55,000 Speaker 1: playoff victories. Like the likelihood that McVeigh, Kyle shanahan and 293 00:16:55,040 --> 00:17:00,360 Speaker 1: all these other Shanahan McVeigh minions ever combined for twelve 294 00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:06,280 Speaker 1: playoff victories is probably a stretch. Like twelve playoff victories. 295 00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:09,439 Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's pretty stupid. And if he wins 296 00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:14,480 Speaker 1: this weekend, thirteen like that, that number with Mahomes is 297 00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:20,480 Speaker 1: only gonna rise, you know, as as society changes, and 298 00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:24,000 Speaker 1: many would say that we're getting softer. You know, I 299 00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:27,240 Speaker 1: have only lived so many years, so but I was 300 00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:31,919 Speaker 1: raised by someone. Uh my father passed last year. He 301 00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:34,560 Speaker 1: was in his seventies, so he was a generation that 302 00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:37,600 Speaker 1: went to Vietnam and they were raised by a generation 303 00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:40,440 Speaker 1: that fought in World War Two. So I think it's 304 00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:43,960 Speaker 1: fair we're probably on the whole a little softer. But 305 00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:46,240 Speaker 1: I also think, you know, it's one of the most 306 00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:50,800 Speaker 1: consistent themes in life that the older generation always thinks 307 00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:54,320 Speaker 1: the previous generations a little softer. Now. I do think 308 00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:57,639 Speaker 1: the millennials, uh, we have a little less pelts on 309 00:17:57,680 --> 00:17:59,359 Speaker 1: the wall that than some of those when they were 310 00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:02,360 Speaker 1: growing up, for sure. But I do think that one 311 00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:06,800 Speaker 1: thing still rings true in football, as in, you know, 312 00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:09,359 Speaker 1: as someone that now kind of basically runs my own 313 00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:12,399 Speaker 1: little media company. Uh. You know, in business you have 314 00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:16,159 Speaker 1: to be mentally tough. Uh. And anyone that you know 315 00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:19,800 Speaker 1: has any success financially will tell you like it's all 316 00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:23,159 Speaker 1: mental games. Now back, I would say, like when my 317 00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:25,359 Speaker 1: dad was growing up, you could have a lot of 318 00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:28,480 Speaker 1: success in business just by being a tough guy, just 319 00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:30,320 Speaker 1: by out tough. And I'm not talking like the mob, 320 00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:34,159 Speaker 1: but just I I knew multiple people growing up that 321 00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:37,840 Speaker 1: were millionaires that did not have high school diploma. They 322 00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:40,600 Speaker 1: never even went to college because you could just be 323 00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:44,480 Speaker 1: a tough minded s ob and just outlasting out work people. 324 00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:47,119 Speaker 1: Now the game has changed a little bit in two 325 00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:51,080 Speaker 1: thousand nineteen, but I still believe the most successful people 326 00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:55,600 Speaker 1: like you don't need to be physically tough in most jobs, 327 00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:57,639 Speaker 1: but you do need to be the men. You know, 328 00:18:57,920 --> 00:19:00,199 Speaker 1: usually the guy at the top of the pyramid. Uh, 329 00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:03,879 Speaker 1: in any organization is mentally a little tougher. I do 330 00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:07,640 Speaker 1: think with football one thing that still rings true as 331 00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:12,680 Speaker 1: the rules change. Uh As we talk about CT and 332 00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:15,840 Speaker 1: hitting in the head and all that crap, which should 333 00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:19,160 Speaker 1: be talked about, but when you watch these playoff games 334 00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:22,440 Speaker 1: for the last two weeks, you better be a team 335 00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:24,960 Speaker 1: that is as physically tough as any in the NFL 336 00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:29,320 Speaker 1: to last to even have a chance. Like the whatsification 337 00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:32,720 Speaker 1: of football, if you're a soft team, you're gonna get steamrolled. 338 00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:36,639 Speaker 1: You really are. And like the Chiefs team that I 339 00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:40,360 Speaker 1: just saw on Saturday afternoon or when I guess, yeah, 340 00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:43,960 Speaker 1: Saturday afternoon was not like the Chiefs team we saw 341 00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:46,160 Speaker 1: most of the year, like they brought a physical edge 342 00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:49,080 Speaker 1: to him, like you see the New England Patriots shove 343 00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:51,840 Speaker 1: around New England, or excuse me, San Diego, as I 344 00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:54,399 Speaker 1: like to call him, the Chargers, I refused to call 345 00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:57,440 Speaker 1: him l a like the Dallas Cowboys, who were really 346 00:19:57,440 --> 00:20:01,560 Speaker 1: physical got shoved around. Like there's a reason the Eagles 347 00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:05,639 Speaker 1: hung because they were physically tough. Like being physically tough 348 00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:08,240 Speaker 1: in a day and age, like speed matters a lot now. 349 00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:11,520 Speaker 1: Being able to spread it out on offense matters a 350 00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:13,920 Speaker 1: lot now. But when you have to, and I'll give 351 00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:16,320 Speaker 1: the Cowboys credit for this, like you better be able 352 00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:18,679 Speaker 1: to get a fourth and one, like in January, you 353 00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:20,359 Speaker 1: might need to get a fourth and one in the 354 00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:22,680 Speaker 1: second quarter of a game just to stay in it. 355 00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:26,040 Speaker 1: And tough teams get fourth and once. Not always the 356 00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:28,199 Speaker 1: smartest teams, because for the most part, I know what 357 00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:31,880 Speaker 1: you're gonna run, right, and it shouldn't matter. Like there 358 00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:34,639 Speaker 1: is still an element of football, you know, in a 359 00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:38,320 Speaker 1: two point play in a short yard and situation where 360 00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:40,720 Speaker 1: even if you know what's coming, it shouldn't matter. I'm 361 00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:45,440 Speaker 1: just tougher than you. There's still a point in January 362 00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:49,080 Speaker 1: football and this game you know on Saturday and arrowheads 363 00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:51,320 Speaker 1: supposed to be freezing, Like you better be a tough 364 00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:54,480 Speaker 1: s ob to play in that game whoever wins or 365 00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:58,720 Speaker 1: Sunday afternoon Sunday night. Uh for you on the East Coast, 366 00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:03,640 Speaker 1: like you ain't playing in ten degree weather and not 367 00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:06,879 Speaker 1: being a tough team. So in this day and age 368 00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:10,680 Speaker 1: where all these teams are looking for speed and are 369 00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:14,280 Speaker 1: looking just for sexy stuff, like you better be tough. 370 00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:18,320 Speaker 1: Like there's a reason that the Eagles could hang because 371 00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:20,520 Speaker 1: even on offense, like Zach Ertz, I know all Sean 372 00:21:20,640 --> 00:21:23,480 Speaker 1: dropped the ball, but those guys are going over the middle, 373 00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:25,679 Speaker 1: Golden take going over the middle of the field, Michael 374 00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:30,680 Speaker 1: Thomas just breaking tackles, Julian Edelman running guys over Travis 375 00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:34,480 Speaker 1: Kelsey just like even the sexiest offensive players were making 376 00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:38,760 Speaker 1: physical plays. And then defensively, you better have a throwback 377 00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:41,080 Speaker 1: unit up front. Like if you don't have a great 378 00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:44,679 Speaker 1: front uh in football, I don't care how much the 379 00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:47,479 Speaker 1: game has changed, you will not win in January. If 380 00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:49,280 Speaker 1: you don't have a good defensive line, you won't win. 381 00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:53,080 Speaker 1: Belichick is not your coach, you know, like you're even 382 00:21:53,080 --> 00:21:55,320 Speaker 1: if you're a tough team. And I thought the Colts 383 00:21:55,320 --> 00:21:58,720 Speaker 1: were tough, I thought the Chargers were tough. I thought 384 00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:01,160 Speaker 1: the Cowboys were pretty tough team. Like those were tough teams, 385 00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:04,639 Speaker 1: they got out toughed. So the level of physicality in 386 00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:09,200 Speaker 1: the playoffs. Every yard is contested, especially in a close game. 387 00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:12,560 Speaker 1: You know, sometimes in blowouts it just you just get hit. 388 00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:15,360 Speaker 1: They just hit you with a Mike Tyson shot. But 389 00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:17,280 Speaker 1: as we saw it, like that was the one reason 390 00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:19,439 Speaker 1: the Cowboys didn't quite go away, because they are a 391 00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:22,919 Speaker 1: physically tough team. Like these soft teams in the NFL. 392 00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:26,560 Speaker 1: You look at any team that just has like the Giants, 393 00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:29,400 Speaker 1: like they're too soft to ever to turn it around overnight. 394 00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:32,400 Speaker 1: You gotta be more physical, you know. You look at 395 00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:35,199 Speaker 1: like the Browns are gonna be a team that a 396 00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:38,159 Speaker 1: lot of people are gonna pick. Are they physical enough? Like, 397 00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:40,960 Speaker 1: are they physical enough that that would be my question mark. 398 00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:44,240 Speaker 1: That's kind of been the Steelers downfall. They're so sexy 399 00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:47,520 Speaker 1: on the outside. Can they really just kind of throw 400 00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:50,040 Speaker 1: back and hit you in the mouth. Now they have 401 00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:53,080 Speaker 1: in the past. This year, they didn't, like it's usually 402 00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:57,080 Speaker 1: the downfall of talented teams. There's a team in the 403 00:22:57,080 --> 00:22:58,920 Speaker 1: Bay Area that a lot of people are gonna pick 404 00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:02,480 Speaker 1: to probably bounce back with Jimmy Garoppolo comes back, they 405 00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:05,040 Speaker 1: better get a lot more physical because they are not 406 00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:08,840 Speaker 1: a playoff level team. When it comes to toughness, they 407 00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:11,479 Speaker 1: don't have it. And that's being the forty Niners Like 408 00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:14,240 Speaker 1: you gotta win up front in the playoffs. You gotta 409 00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:16,720 Speaker 1: have guys that are just willing to take people's heads off. 410 00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:19,800 Speaker 1: And that might not sound PC in this world, but 411 00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:22,560 Speaker 1: I got news for you, defenders. They're not trying to 412 00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:27,320 Speaker 1: injure anyone, but they're trying to inflict pain. It's still, 413 00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:32,719 Speaker 1: you know, the most basic level the premise of the 414 00:23:32,760 --> 00:23:35,560 Speaker 1: sport of that side of the ball. I'm trying to 415 00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:38,439 Speaker 1: tackle you and hit you hard. So you think twice 416 00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:42,399 Speaker 1: about doing that again. In some offensive guys, the best 417 00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:46,080 Speaker 1: ones in the big moments, you can lay him out 418 00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:48,679 Speaker 1: and he's gonna keep coming. Like to me, Julian Edelman 419 00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:53,680 Speaker 1: had a I'm a champion multiple times over, this is 420 00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:55,960 Speaker 1: what I bring to the table type playoff game that 421 00:23:56,080 --> 00:24:00,600 Speaker 1: was like Wow. Larry Fitzgerald was always that his player, 422 00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:04,840 Speaker 1: his his physicality rose when you looked at Todd Girl. C. J. 423 00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:07,480 Speaker 1: Anderson is a good example. Even Chubby c. J. Anderson, 424 00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:10,679 Speaker 1: that guy's been in the playoffs, knows the level in 425 00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:13,680 Speaker 1: which it takes. You know that that's what makes the 426 00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:18,119 Speaker 1: chief so impressive that they're more quarterback driven. But you know, 427 00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:21,199 Speaker 1: clearly the Patriots have it and the Saints are kind 428 00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:24,480 Speaker 1: of built like that too. Like the softness does not 429 00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:27,720 Speaker 1: translate in January. It's why I think you've seen the 430 00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:29,880 Speaker 1: Steelers struggle so much the last four or five years. 431 00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:33,919 Speaker 1: Get over the hill. You gotta that there's a throwback 432 00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:37,840 Speaker 1: element to the sport, especially these games that are played 433 00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:42,360 Speaker 1: outside in freezing cold temperatures. Would you want to get 434 00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:46,560 Speaker 1: hit in fifteen degrees? Like I I live in the 435 00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:49,760 Speaker 1: Bay Area. Has been like fifty the last week freezing 436 00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:53,320 Speaker 1: watching the Chiefs games. Text with somebody's on their squad 437 00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:56,720 Speaker 1: like it was cold, It's gonna be even colder on Sunday. 438 00:24:57,480 --> 00:25:00,240 Speaker 1: Like you better be tough man. You bet would be 439 00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:03,080 Speaker 1: a tough guy. You better have a tough team if 440 00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:04,800 Speaker 1: you want to have a legitimate chance to win the 441 00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:08,159 Speaker 1: Super Bowl. You know, I think everything that's been said 442 00:25:09,119 --> 00:25:12,879 Speaker 1: about the Patriots dynasty has been said. I mean it's 443 00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:17,520 Speaker 1: never happening again. This is their thirteenth championship game. Uh, 444 00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:22,280 Speaker 1: their eighth straight. I mean, these are no team in 445 00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:24,800 Speaker 1: in the rest of my life tolpe I lived fifty 446 00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:28,640 Speaker 1: more years. Is going to eighth straight championship games. It's 447 00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:32,080 Speaker 1: just not happening because also the likelihood that you would 448 00:25:32,119 --> 00:25:35,359 Speaker 1: have that many they've had the first round by you know, 449 00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:38,000 Speaker 1: all those years, So the likelihood that you're always going 450 00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:40,920 Speaker 1: to be a one or two seed is just that 451 00:25:41,040 --> 00:25:43,840 Speaker 1: they have benefited from the division. But that's not why 452 00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:47,240 Speaker 1: they're great. They're great because of Belichick, and they're great 453 00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:51,440 Speaker 1: because of Brady. It's the all time combo. As someone 454 00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:54,040 Speaker 1: texts me yesterday, in the early on in the game, 455 00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:57,960 Speaker 1: they said, what the hell are the Chargers doing trying 456 00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:01,119 Speaker 1: to get into a scoring match and a shootout with 457 00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:04,880 Speaker 1: the Patriots and Foxborough? Why didn't they attempt to control 458 00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:08,240 Speaker 1: the clock and keep the ball out of Brady's hands? 459 00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:12,199 Speaker 1: He played right into Belichick, Tom and Josh. It was 460 00:26:12,280 --> 00:26:16,000 Speaker 1: not a fair fight. It was Belichick put a clown 461 00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:19,919 Speaker 1: suit on the Chargers that that was an embarrassing effort. 462 00:26:20,040 --> 00:26:22,560 Speaker 1: It's one thing right to get your ass kicked. It 463 00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:25,840 Speaker 1: happens in pro sports. Michael Jordan has been got his 464 00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:30,119 Speaker 1: butt kicked, Montana's got his butt kicked. It happens. But 465 00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:34,560 Speaker 1: when you have the more talented team on paper and 466 00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:38,159 Speaker 1: in reality, and to have that team be up thirty 467 00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:42,240 Speaker 1: five seven and half in a game where listen, did 468 00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:46,080 Speaker 1: the Chargers have to win? No? You know, Philip Rivers, 469 00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:49,720 Speaker 1: Brady owns him, and his career is gonna go down 470 00:26:49,880 --> 00:26:51,840 Speaker 1: with a major question mark because he's probably never gonna 471 00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:54,680 Speaker 1: win anything in the championship and it's somewhat defined also 472 00:26:54,760 --> 00:26:58,000 Speaker 1: by their owner. That's cheap. But to be down thirty 473 00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:00,560 Speaker 1: five to seven and a half in a when your 474 00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:03,800 Speaker 1: team is that good is unacceptable, and that that's on 475 00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:08,320 Speaker 1: the coaching staff one thousand percent. Like that game plan 476 00:27:08,520 --> 00:27:14,560 Speaker 1: was an embarrassment, and Brady and Belichick and Josh just 477 00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:18,080 Speaker 1: ran circles around it. It was too easy. You cannot 478 00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:22,000 Speaker 1: give them the dump down pass a game because they 479 00:27:22,040 --> 00:27:26,040 Speaker 1: will take it. They will check down for you know, 480 00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:28,600 Speaker 1: five yards at a time until they scored a touchdown 481 00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:30,600 Speaker 1: and have a seven minute drive, and they just gave 482 00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:34,320 Speaker 1: it up. It just made no sense to try to 483 00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:37,200 Speaker 1: get in some shootout against this team when The one 484 00:27:37,240 --> 00:27:39,520 Speaker 1: thing the Patriots kind of have on defense is a 485 00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:42,560 Speaker 1: really good secondary. I mean they have an all pro corner. 486 00:27:43,119 --> 00:27:46,280 Speaker 1: Mccordy has been through the ringer, you know. In Belichick, 487 00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:48,560 Speaker 1: that's kind of his bread and butter. He's a dB 488 00:27:48,680 --> 00:27:52,320 Speaker 1: coach at heart. So for them to come out and 489 00:27:52,359 --> 00:27:55,080 Speaker 1: try to get into a shootout and it backfires immediately. 490 00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:57,400 Speaker 1: And this was my knock back to what I talked 491 00:27:57,400 --> 00:28:01,359 Speaker 1: about earlier, zero adjustment, that they have no other pitch 492 00:28:01,840 --> 00:28:05,399 Speaker 1: that they're they're basically that the Chargers coaching staff was 493 00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:09,480 Speaker 1: like a pitcher that throws and when a when a 494 00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:12,520 Speaker 1: batter can't time it up, you're like, oh my god, 495 00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:17,440 Speaker 1: that guy is throwing gas. You can't touch it. Well. 496 00:28:17,520 --> 00:28:21,200 Speaker 1: I've also seen Giants fan, a guy named Hunter Strickland 497 00:28:21,560 --> 00:28:24,040 Speaker 1: throws it right down the middle of the plate and 498 00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:26,040 Speaker 1: when you time it up. Harper has done it a 499 00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:29,320 Speaker 1: couple of times. The ball goes about seven feet and 500 00:28:29,359 --> 00:28:32,080 Speaker 1: if you're playing it it's now actually called oracle. That 501 00:28:32,119 --> 00:28:35,080 Speaker 1: ball goes into the water. If you're playing wherever, that 502 00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:38,320 Speaker 1: ball goes over the fence. And the Chargers had one 503 00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:42,360 Speaker 1: pitch and Belichick they had that pitch timed up by 504 00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:44,960 Speaker 1: like the second swing and then it was a home 505 00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:48,360 Speaker 1: run derby. And when you, as a coaching staff in 506 00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:51,240 Speaker 1: the second round of the playoffs, do not have a curveball, 507 00:28:51,760 --> 00:28:54,840 Speaker 1: have a change up, anything else to throw at him, 508 00:28:54,880 --> 00:28:57,720 Speaker 1: and immediately realize, like, this game plan is not gonna work. 509 00:28:58,320 --> 00:29:01,920 Speaker 1: To me, Belichick's greatest strength he will come in, they'll 510 00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:04,240 Speaker 1: work all week, and it will not work. I was 511 00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:06,760 Speaker 1: talking to someone in the NFL today and I told him, 512 00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:10,000 Speaker 1: you know what I think Belichick's greatest strength is is 513 00:29:10,040 --> 00:29:13,440 Speaker 1: He's one of the great He's an all time football 514 00:29:13,440 --> 00:29:17,880 Speaker 1: whore meanings. He will do whatever works, whatever works on 515 00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:21,000 Speaker 1: offense or defense. He does not care if he thinks 516 00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:23,760 Speaker 1: it works or he's seen it work against the team. 517 00:29:23,920 --> 00:29:25,800 Speaker 1: He will implement it and coach it up and figure 518 00:29:25,840 --> 00:29:28,720 Speaker 1: out how to work it. A lot of coaches won't, 519 00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:31,960 Speaker 1: like Kyle Shanahan Sean McVeigh, like they have a staple 520 00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:35,040 Speaker 1: on offense. What's the Patriots staple on offense scoring points? 521 00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:37,479 Speaker 1: I mean if you if you're giving them the run game, 522 00:29:37,520 --> 00:29:39,280 Speaker 1: they'll run it down your throat. If you're giving him 523 00:29:39,280 --> 00:29:41,320 Speaker 1: the deep passing game, they'll deep pass you to death. 524 00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:43,600 Speaker 1: If the play action works, they'll go play act like 525 00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:46,720 Speaker 1: they have no offense. What what is their offense? I 526 00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:50,400 Speaker 1: mean score touchdowns? What is their defense? Three? Four or 527 00:29:50,440 --> 00:29:54,239 Speaker 1: four three? That they are not defined by anything. Like 528 00:29:54,320 --> 00:29:57,080 Speaker 1: you know exactly what the Chargers are and when they 529 00:29:57,120 --> 00:29:59,760 Speaker 1: can't do it, they're screwed. That's a great thing about 530 00:29:59,760 --> 00:30:04,160 Speaker 1: bell Check like my picture analogy, like one day he 531 00:30:04,200 --> 00:30:06,120 Speaker 1: looks like Randy Johnson. The next day he looks like 532 00:30:06,160 --> 00:30:08,440 Speaker 1: Greg Maddox. The next day he looks like Jamie Moyer. 533 00:30:08,760 --> 00:30:10,720 Speaker 1: The next day he looks like Trevor Hoffman. You never 534 00:30:10,760 --> 00:30:12,560 Speaker 1: know what you're gonna get. You strike out all the time. 535 00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:15,560 Speaker 1: It's why you win so much. You have no clue 536 00:30:15,600 --> 00:30:19,680 Speaker 1: what pitch he's gonna throw. Zero Sony Michelle had been 537 00:30:19,840 --> 00:30:22,960 Speaker 1: pretty terrible all season long. He's working, keep up and 538 00:30:23,040 --> 00:30:25,560 Speaker 1: keep giving him the ball. He's like a dude gets 539 00:30:25,560 --> 00:30:27,560 Speaker 1: hot like in basketball. Just keep feeding him the rock. 540 00:30:28,400 --> 00:30:33,920 Speaker 1: Brady is the great eagleless quarterback we've ever seen because, 541 00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:38,400 Speaker 1: like his numbers look good, but he doesn't force anything. 542 00:30:38,600 --> 00:30:41,600 Speaker 1: It's never about him or his numbers. It's just about 543 00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:44,360 Speaker 1: the team. The numbers always come because when you have 544 00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:47,360 Speaker 1: a good offense and you're just moving the ball like 545 00:30:48,280 --> 00:30:52,000 Speaker 1: you're gonna accumulate yards and touchdowns. Like, but you watched 546 00:30:52,080 --> 00:30:54,600 Speaker 1: Tom you never feel like you know he's forcing this, No, 547 00:30:54,920 --> 00:30:57,760 Speaker 1: just lets it come. It's why when he mistake, makes 548 00:30:57,760 --> 00:31:01,920 Speaker 1: a mistake, you know, it's kind of eye opening. When 549 00:31:01,920 --> 00:31:04,040 Speaker 1: he makes like a terrible mistake, as he did a 550 00:31:04,080 --> 00:31:07,360 Speaker 1: couple of times this year, it's jaw dropping. But the 551 00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:09,240 Speaker 1: one thing you saw in that playoff game is he 552 00:31:09,280 --> 00:31:12,239 Speaker 1: ain't making mistakes. Now when it's not cutting time, you 553 00:31:12,240 --> 00:31:15,440 Speaker 1: may beat him, but ain't gonna because he chokes or 554 00:31:15,560 --> 00:31:18,840 Speaker 1: is playing bad. You know, in the playoffs, you're just 555 00:31:18,840 --> 00:31:22,400 Speaker 1: gonna beat him, which happens is the highest level of sports, 556 00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:26,200 Speaker 1: the most competitive football league in the world, you know, 557 00:31:26,240 --> 00:31:28,440 Speaker 1: I mean the Chiefs might beat him by two touchdowns. 558 00:31:28,440 --> 00:31:30,560 Speaker 1: It was just because I got beat not because they 559 00:31:30,560 --> 00:31:33,760 Speaker 1: weren't prepared, not because they weren't ready, Not because quote 560 00:31:33,840 --> 00:31:36,720 Speaker 1: unquote Brady chokes. Like if he throws a pick in 561 00:31:36,760 --> 00:31:38,960 Speaker 1: the fourth quarter, it won't be because he choked. It 562 00:31:39,080 --> 00:31:42,000 Speaker 1: was just because he made a bad play like Rivers, 563 00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:45,280 Speaker 1: Like was he even ready for that game? Like he he? 564 00:31:45,400 --> 00:31:47,800 Speaker 1: I mean, was there Like had they practiced? What what 565 00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:51,320 Speaker 1: have they been doing? All week in Southern California, like 566 00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:55,280 Speaker 1: you know, feeling themselves on the previous win against a 567 00:31:55,360 --> 00:31:58,959 Speaker 1: quarterback that couldn't throw that was an embarrassing win for 568 00:31:59,040 --> 00:32:02,240 Speaker 1: the or a loss for the Chargers, and just stay 569 00:32:03,240 --> 00:32:07,200 Speaker 1: not legacy defining, but just another pelt on the legacy. 570 00:32:07,320 --> 00:32:11,920 Speaker 1: That is the dominance of this Patriot run. Because it 571 00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:15,280 Speaker 1: was a four point line for a reason, uh that 572 00:32:15,280 --> 00:32:19,000 Speaker 1: that the Patriots are never you know, a home favorite 573 00:32:19,440 --> 00:32:21,440 Speaker 1: in the second round, and that game is not like 574 00:32:21,520 --> 00:32:23,920 Speaker 1: seven to ten points. It was four points because the 575 00:32:23,960 --> 00:32:26,760 Speaker 1: Chargers on paper were unreal. But the reality is that 576 00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:30,680 Speaker 1: it didn't matter to Belichick. He's smarter than them. Brady's 577 00:32:30,720 --> 00:32:34,040 Speaker 1: better and smarter, and they ran circles around him for 578 00:32:34,080 --> 00:32:37,560 Speaker 1: sixty minutes for sixty Don't get it twisted. Those hollow 579 00:32:37,600 --> 00:32:40,480 Speaker 1: touchdowns that rivered through at the end of the game. 580 00:32:40,800 --> 00:32:43,400 Speaker 1: I know they're hollow because I was playing against a 581 00:32:43,440 --> 00:32:45,680 Speaker 1: guy that had him on the daily fantasy team. They 582 00:32:45,680 --> 00:32:48,080 Speaker 1: were meaningless. The game was over at the end of 583 00:32:48,120 --> 00:32:51,959 Speaker 1: the first quarter. And that's a testament to the dominance 584 00:32:52,880 --> 00:32:57,160 Speaker 1: of of the hoodie and Brady middle cuff mail bag. 585 00:32:57,600 --> 00:32:59,640 Speaker 1: You can always slide up in my d M s 586 00:33:00,720 --> 00:33:04,800 Speaker 1: and I'll answer questions here right here on the podcast 587 00:33:05,120 --> 00:33:08,720 Speaker 1: at John Middlecoff is my Instagram handle. It's also my 588 00:33:08,800 --> 00:33:11,400 Speaker 1: Twitter handle. It's basically the easiest way to get a 589 00:33:11,400 --> 00:33:15,720 Speaker 1: hold of me, honestly, if you DM me on Instagram 590 00:33:15,880 --> 00:33:19,520 Speaker 1: or tweet at me, it's probably and I mean this sincerely, 591 00:33:20,240 --> 00:33:23,440 Speaker 1: and anyone that knows me would probably agree that is 592 00:33:23,480 --> 00:33:25,200 Speaker 1: easier to get a hold of me than if you 593 00:33:25,280 --> 00:33:29,800 Speaker 1: have my cell phone number. Now, unless you're yeah, I mean, 594 00:33:29,840 --> 00:33:37,320 Speaker 1: unless you're like Colin, my mom, uh, sometimes a couple 595 00:33:37,400 --> 00:33:41,840 Speaker 1: other business partners. Otherwise I'm probably not picking up um. 596 00:33:41,880 --> 00:33:44,680 Speaker 1: Just you know, I'm a young US Young people don't 597 00:33:44,720 --> 00:33:46,760 Speaker 1: pick up phone calls a lot. But okay, let's start, 598 00:33:48,720 --> 00:33:51,400 Speaker 1: uh with all the big dick Nick has done. I 599 00:33:51,440 --> 00:33:54,520 Speaker 1: continue here people suggesting that we trade Wentz, which I 600 00:33:54,560 --> 00:33:56,600 Speaker 1: think is crazy. I think he is one of, if 601 00:33:56,600 --> 00:33:59,040 Speaker 1: not the best young quarterback in the league as someone 602 00:33:59,080 --> 00:34:02,600 Speaker 1: as we evaluated, who has evaluated talent. What do you 603 00:34:02,600 --> 00:34:05,920 Speaker 1: think are the top ten quarterbacks under thirty? Also, is 604 00:34:05,920 --> 00:34:08,680 Speaker 1: there anything Nick could do to make you trade Wentz? 605 00:34:09,200 --> 00:34:10,680 Speaker 1: If you would have won the Super Bowl, it would 606 00:34:10,680 --> 00:34:14,320 Speaker 1: have been I don't know, impossible to get rid of him, 607 00:34:14,360 --> 00:34:16,879 Speaker 1: but he didn't and he really didn't play that well. 608 00:34:16,920 --> 00:34:19,080 Speaker 1: I had him on my draft Kings lineup. Uh. He 609 00:34:19,200 --> 00:34:21,319 Speaker 1: started hot and then he wasn't very good in the 610 00:34:21,320 --> 00:34:23,440 Speaker 1: second half. He heated up on that last drive, but 611 00:34:23,520 --> 00:34:26,920 Speaker 1: he missed them. I wouldn't say lay up throws, but 612 00:34:27,120 --> 00:34:31,240 Speaker 1: definitely throws that he had hit before. Uh, and definitely 613 00:34:31,239 --> 00:34:33,400 Speaker 1: throws that he did hit last year. So if I 614 00:34:33,440 --> 00:34:37,520 Speaker 1: go my top ten quarterbacks thirty year under Wentz would 615 00:34:37,560 --> 00:34:40,719 Speaker 1: definitely be on there. I'm gonna go in no particular order. 616 00:34:41,239 --> 00:34:44,640 Speaker 1: Uh to the two guys at the top are Lucking Russell, 617 00:34:45,120 --> 00:34:49,560 Speaker 1: which I both think are Uh. Then let's just fire through. 618 00:34:49,600 --> 00:34:53,920 Speaker 1: I got the I basically got the divisions up Patriots, Dolphins, 619 00:34:55,040 --> 00:34:58,279 Speaker 1: Buffalo Jets. So obviously the first two teams don't have 620 00:34:58,360 --> 00:35:01,239 Speaker 1: a guy. I would not throw Josh Allen or Sam 621 00:35:01,280 --> 00:35:04,799 Speaker 1: Donald in there yet. Ravens, I mean, Lamar can't throw. 622 00:35:05,360 --> 00:35:09,240 Speaker 1: Steelers don't have one. I'd put Baker right on the fringe. 623 00:35:09,360 --> 00:35:15,239 Speaker 1: Bengals don't have one. Deshaun Watson in already said Luck Mariota, 624 00:35:16,080 --> 00:35:18,719 Speaker 1: he'd be towards the bottom. I mean to be in 625 00:35:18,719 --> 00:35:21,080 Speaker 1: the top ten. And you could say this about Wentz. 626 00:35:21,600 --> 00:35:23,800 Speaker 1: Here's the one thing about Wentz. They made the playoffs 627 00:35:23,840 --> 00:35:26,000 Speaker 1: two years in a row, and when a playoff game started, 628 00:35:26,040 --> 00:35:29,319 Speaker 1: he was not available. Like that's a problem. Mariota. Now, 629 00:35:29,360 --> 00:35:32,120 Speaker 1: I think it's finished three of his four seasons on 630 00:35:32,160 --> 00:35:36,280 Speaker 1: the sideline, So like now, I'm not comparing Wentz and Mariota. 631 00:35:36,360 --> 00:35:39,600 Speaker 1: Wentz is much more talented. But hey, hey, Carson, you've 632 00:35:39,640 --> 00:35:41,520 Speaker 1: been as someone told me, he was hurting high school, 633 00:35:41,840 --> 00:35:45,160 Speaker 1: certain college. He's heard to get in the pros. I'm 634 00:35:45,160 --> 00:35:49,440 Speaker 1: a huge Carson Wentz guy. His talent is undeniable, but god, 635 00:35:49,640 --> 00:35:53,920 Speaker 1: he's got to stay healthy. Jaguars don't have one. I 636 00:35:53,960 --> 00:35:58,440 Speaker 1: mean Patrick mahomes Ship, I mean, I don't know, top three, 637 00:35:58,960 --> 00:36:02,080 Speaker 1: he's up there. Clearly he's not even deniable. I mean, 638 00:36:02,080 --> 00:36:04,440 Speaker 1: he's had one of the great seasons. If he goes 639 00:36:04,480 --> 00:36:07,640 Speaker 1: to the super Bowl, even if you take out his age, 640 00:36:07,640 --> 00:36:09,640 Speaker 1: which he's like, what twenty three years old, If you 641 00:36:09,719 --> 00:36:13,040 Speaker 1: just subtract his age, he could be thirty two. You know. 642 00:36:13,080 --> 00:36:16,240 Speaker 1: If you grow fifty touchdowns and then lead your team 643 00:36:16,280 --> 00:36:20,359 Speaker 1: to the super Bowl, like that's win or loses super Bowl. 644 00:36:20,360 --> 00:36:23,080 Speaker 1: It's just one of the great all time NFL seasons. 645 00:36:23,640 --> 00:36:26,080 Speaker 1: You know he's right on the cusp right now, just 646 00:36:26,120 --> 00:36:29,560 Speaker 1: being in the championship game. Chargers don't have one. Broncos 647 00:36:29,600 --> 00:36:33,600 Speaker 1: don't have one. I'm a Derek Carr guy. I don't 648 00:36:33,600 --> 00:36:37,160 Speaker 1: think he played that well this year. Uh, he's definitely 649 00:36:37,239 --> 00:36:39,760 Speaker 1: on the fringe of a top ten under thirty guy. 650 00:36:39,800 --> 00:36:42,040 Speaker 1: I'd put him in there because he definitely has the talent, 651 00:36:42,400 --> 00:36:44,920 Speaker 1: Like he has more tools than a lot of these guys. Mariota, 652 00:36:45,960 --> 00:36:49,160 Speaker 1: I'd have him ahead of all those guys. Dak, I'd 653 00:36:49,200 --> 00:36:52,759 Speaker 1: have him ahead of I wouldn't have him ahead of Wentz, Redskins, 654 00:36:52,840 --> 00:36:57,160 Speaker 1: Giants don't have one. I'd put car ahead of Mitchell Cousins. 655 00:36:57,160 --> 00:37:00,640 Speaker 1: I think is over thirty Rodgers, old Stafford, older Breeze, 656 00:37:00,680 --> 00:37:04,560 Speaker 1: old Maddie Ice, old Cam I think is thirty. Jamis 657 00:37:04,600 --> 00:37:07,040 Speaker 1: just I actually do think he can bounce back with 658 00:37:07,120 --> 00:37:10,560 Speaker 1: Bruce arians, but he has not played well. Uh, He's 659 00:37:10,600 --> 00:37:13,040 Speaker 1: had moments, and I watched a decent amount of Tampa. 660 00:37:13,360 --> 00:37:16,240 Speaker 1: Like when he's when he's hot, they can score twenty 661 00:37:16,239 --> 00:37:19,080 Speaker 1: one points in the quarter, but more than any other 662 00:37:19,120 --> 00:37:21,640 Speaker 1: player in the league. It feels like he can go 663 00:37:21,760 --> 00:37:24,880 Speaker 1: a stretch where like four straight passes, three of them 664 00:37:24,920 --> 00:37:27,360 Speaker 1: get picked. You know, it's like, Jamis, what are you 665 00:37:27,400 --> 00:37:30,600 Speaker 1: doing now? That should get fixed with the new bald 666 00:37:30,640 --> 00:37:34,960 Speaker 1: headed UH coach Goff. Yeah, I'd have him near the end. 667 00:37:35,640 --> 00:37:38,680 Speaker 1: I think Jimmy is really good and I'm a Rosen guy, 668 00:37:38,719 --> 00:37:41,440 Speaker 1: but he hasn't really proven anything, so you know, I 669 00:37:41,800 --> 00:37:44,720 Speaker 1: think it's pretty up for debate that group. They haven't 670 00:37:44,760 --> 00:37:49,080 Speaker 1: really separated themselves. Wentz can't stay healthy. Car has kind 671 00:37:49,080 --> 00:37:50,480 Speaker 1: of been up and down, and I thought he was 672 00:37:50,520 --> 00:37:53,239 Speaker 1: a really talented one. Saying with Jimmy, Like, I think 673 00:37:53,320 --> 00:37:56,440 Speaker 1: Jimmy's really good, but he started ten games, has been 674 00:37:56,480 --> 00:37:59,360 Speaker 1: hurt twice, like part of being really good. Like Brady 675 00:37:59,400 --> 00:38:03,000 Speaker 1: doesn't miss games, right, Philip Rivers has played every game 676 00:38:03,040 --> 00:38:06,479 Speaker 1: for like fifteen years, like you gotta Drew Brees hasn't 677 00:38:06,520 --> 00:38:10,600 Speaker 1: missed time. These guys gotta stay healthy, you know. I 678 00:38:10,600 --> 00:38:15,239 Speaker 1: I whether it's random, whether it's self inflicted, whatever, Like, 679 00:38:15,480 --> 00:38:17,560 Speaker 1: you get paid in this league, and a lot of 680 00:38:17,560 --> 00:38:20,840 Speaker 1: these guys are top picks. So even if they haven't 681 00:38:20,840 --> 00:38:23,600 Speaker 1: signed their second deal, if you're the number one or 682 00:38:23,680 --> 00:38:26,319 Speaker 1: number two or hell a top ten draft pick, you're 683 00:38:26,320 --> 00:38:29,279 Speaker 1: getting like fifteen twenty million dollars. So they're still paying 684 00:38:29,360 --> 00:38:32,200 Speaker 1: you a lot. You gotta play, and a lot of 685 00:38:32,239 --> 00:38:36,480 Speaker 1: these guys are not playing. Let's see. Okay, poorly ran 686 00:38:36,560 --> 00:38:39,719 Speaker 1: franchises are relatively easier spot due to their dysfunction and 687 00:38:39,800 --> 00:38:43,319 Speaker 1: lack of winning Cleveland, Oakland, Detroit, Miami, for example. But 688 00:38:43,440 --> 00:38:46,080 Speaker 1: better run franchise are harder spot because it began be 689 00:38:46,120 --> 00:38:49,440 Speaker 1: covered up by good coaching or quarterback play over the 690 00:38:49,520 --> 00:38:51,960 Speaker 1: last fifteen years. What would be your top ten? I'm 691 00:38:51,960 --> 00:38:55,240 Speaker 1: getting a lot of top ten questions. That's hard ranking 692 00:38:55,280 --> 00:39:00,000 Speaker 1: the best NFL front offices. Okay, well, I think number one, 693 00:39:00,040 --> 00:39:03,440 Speaker 1: won by a mile is New England. Uh number two. 694 00:39:03,960 --> 00:39:06,880 Speaker 1: I think Seattle's had a pretty unreal six or seven 695 00:39:06,920 --> 00:39:09,200 Speaker 1: year run, right, I mean this year was kind of 696 00:39:09,239 --> 00:39:11,200 Speaker 1: a muscle flex, and they had a five year stretch 697 00:39:11,239 --> 00:39:14,640 Speaker 1: where it was mind blowing. The Steelers are right up there. 698 00:39:15,719 --> 00:39:19,319 Speaker 1: Andy's kind of had two iterations of his career. But 699 00:39:19,560 --> 00:39:23,239 Speaker 1: what he didn't Philly, you know, with the Howie Roseman's, 700 00:39:23,360 --> 00:39:26,319 Speaker 1: the Jason Lights, the guys that came through that are 701 00:39:26,320 --> 00:39:28,919 Speaker 1: now gms other places, all the coaches that came through, 702 00:39:29,320 --> 00:39:33,480 Speaker 1: so just kind of his umbrella. And I worked for Howie. 703 00:39:33,560 --> 00:39:37,040 Speaker 1: I saw all the good talent he hired over the years, 704 00:39:37,560 --> 00:39:40,440 Speaker 1: and now he's done it again, hiring Joe Douglas, you know, 705 00:39:40,480 --> 00:39:43,680 Speaker 1: to run their personnel department. So I put Philly right 706 00:39:43,760 --> 00:39:47,160 Speaker 1: up there, for sure. I wouldn't necessarily put the Colts 707 00:39:47,239 --> 00:39:49,160 Speaker 1: up there, though they've won a lot in the last 708 00:39:49,160 --> 00:39:52,359 Speaker 1: twenty years. Like to me, they are now they're well 709 00:39:52,440 --> 00:39:55,400 Speaker 1: run with Ballard, but forever it was just like Peyton 710 00:39:55,400 --> 00:39:58,560 Speaker 1: and Luck. And don't get me wrong, I mean, Poleon's 711 00:39:58,560 --> 00:40:02,080 Speaker 1: a Hall of Famer, but so maybe they were all run. 712 00:40:02,160 --> 00:40:05,160 Speaker 1: But those guys have been gone for a while. I 713 00:40:05,560 --> 00:40:07,799 Speaker 1: put the Broncos up there, but I feel like they're 714 00:40:07,880 --> 00:40:11,320 Speaker 1: kind of lost. I'll give Jerry some credit. Like the Cowboys, 715 00:40:11,320 --> 00:40:14,000 Speaker 1: the last seven or eight years have been pretty well run. 716 00:40:15,360 --> 00:40:18,320 Speaker 1: Uh giants know the Packers. I mean they they've produced 717 00:40:18,360 --> 00:40:21,239 Speaker 1: so many general managers. They've hit a rough patch. But 718 00:40:21,520 --> 00:40:24,839 Speaker 1: I mean they won for a long stretch of time 719 00:40:24,880 --> 00:40:27,920 Speaker 1: for a reason. But I think there's New England and 720 00:40:27,960 --> 00:40:30,040 Speaker 1: then there's like a group of six or seven teams 721 00:40:31,040 --> 00:40:40,680 Speaker 1: Philly slash Andy. Uh, the Steelers. That's it's about it, 722 00:40:41,239 --> 00:40:44,480 Speaker 1: you know, It's it's hard. It's just they're there are 723 00:40:44,520 --> 00:40:46,880 Speaker 1: not many good ones. You know, there's a reason, like 724 00:40:47,360 --> 00:40:50,640 Speaker 1: the Eagles have made the playoffs like sixteen times in 725 00:40:50,680 --> 00:40:53,080 Speaker 1: the last twenty years. There's a reason the Steelers are 726 00:40:53,120 --> 00:40:55,520 Speaker 1: always in the playoffs. Most teams are not consistently in 727 00:40:55,520 --> 00:41:00,080 Speaker 1: the playoffs. It's really it's really pretty nuts. That's a 728 00:41:00,080 --> 00:41:03,880 Speaker 1: pretty good question. Hey, John, new listener and join the podcast. Thanks. 729 00:41:04,160 --> 00:41:06,680 Speaker 1: Giants obviously have a huge need at quarterback to Phil 730 00:41:07,080 --> 00:41:12,120 Speaker 1: although Dwayne Haskins is more the prototypical quarterback and likely 731 00:41:12,120 --> 00:41:15,239 Speaker 1: to have more longevity in his professional career. How much 732 00:41:15,239 --> 00:41:18,279 Speaker 1: would the Giants consider drafting Kyler Murray if they did 733 00:41:18,320 --> 00:41:21,160 Speaker 1: decide to go with a quarterback at six. Would an 734 00:41:21,160 --> 00:41:25,920 Speaker 1: offense bolstering Beckham, Barkley and Murray instantly be one of 735 00:41:25,920 --> 00:41:29,680 Speaker 1: the most dynamic and unpredictable in the game today. I mean, 736 00:41:30,320 --> 00:41:32,040 Speaker 1: you know, we make fun of like in the NBA 737 00:41:32,200 --> 00:41:34,880 Speaker 1: League Pass, Like back in the day when Steph Curry 738 00:41:34,960 --> 00:41:37,520 Speaker 1: kind of hit the scene and they the Warriors started rolling, 739 00:41:37,560 --> 00:41:40,600 Speaker 1: Everyone's like, oh, you gotta lead pass the Warriors. If 740 00:41:40,600 --> 00:41:42,440 Speaker 1: there was an equivalent of a leak pass, and I 741 00:41:42,480 --> 00:41:45,839 Speaker 1: mean there is the Sunday Ticket, but if if that 742 00:41:46,000 --> 00:41:50,279 Speaker 1: was the trio Kyler Murray, Odell Beckham and say Kwan 743 00:41:50,360 --> 00:41:54,680 Speaker 1: Barkley with I'm a big Ingram guy too, Like wow, yeah, 744 00:41:54,760 --> 00:41:57,080 Speaker 1: I'd watch a lot of Giants games that that would 745 00:41:57,080 --> 00:42:01,120 Speaker 1: be really fun. Now listen, I'm sure we'll talk about Kyler. 746 00:42:01,600 --> 00:42:04,040 Speaker 1: I think he officially today he declared for the draft. 747 00:42:04,200 --> 00:42:05,800 Speaker 1: We kind of knew that was coming for a while. 748 00:42:07,680 --> 00:42:10,840 Speaker 1: My only concern, and I'm not trying to sound like, 749 00:42:10,880 --> 00:42:14,320 Speaker 1: get off my line old school scout, but it really 750 00:42:14,400 --> 00:42:16,799 Speaker 1: is going to be a challenge for as remarkable as 751 00:42:16,840 --> 00:42:18,920 Speaker 1: an athlete as he is, and for a great as 752 00:42:19,000 --> 00:42:21,360 Speaker 1: thrower as he is, because he is a natural thrower 753 00:42:21,360 --> 00:42:24,920 Speaker 1: of the football to play quarterback at five nine. Like 754 00:42:25,280 --> 00:42:28,319 Speaker 1: if you were a betting man and I said, let's 755 00:42:28,320 --> 00:42:31,239 Speaker 1: say you were rich, like relatively rich, where you had 756 00:42:31,800 --> 00:42:34,560 Speaker 1: you had fifty dollars cash, and you could bet on 757 00:42:34,680 --> 00:42:38,120 Speaker 1: him succeeding or failing. You would be stupid to not 758 00:42:38,200 --> 00:42:41,399 Speaker 1: bet on him failing, just because the odds of him 759 00:42:41,400 --> 00:42:45,440 Speaker 1: succeeding at his size, Like if he goes number six overall, 760 00:42:47,080 --> 00:42:49,520 Speaker 1: that would mean a guy at five ft nine that 761 00:42:49,600 --> 00:42:52,520 Speaker 1: played quarterback went six. Like it was crazy last year 762 00:42:52,560 --> 00:42:56,440 Speaker 1: with Baker, but he was still a shade over six, right, 763 00:42:56,600 --> 00:42:58,360 Speaker 1: I mean there is a big difference. You meet a 764 00:42:58,360 --> 00:43:01,640 Speaker 1: guy that's six ft tall and a guy that's five nine, 765 00:43:02,040 --> 00:43:05,120 Speaker 1: Like that's you know, six is on the lo lo 766 00:43:05,120 --> 00:43:08,759 Speaker 1: lo low end of height for NFL quarterbacks, like on 767 00:43:08,800 --> 00:43:12,240 Speaker 1: the statistical chart. Now, don't get me wrong, I would 768 00:43:12,239 --> 00:43:15,440 Speaker 1: love to see that. That would be I'm all in, Like, 769 00:43:15,560 --> 00:43:18,880 Speaker 1: that's really cool, that that would be awesome. I just 770 00:43:18,920 --> 00:43:21,920 Speaker 1: think when the dust settles, I think he's gonna go 771 00:43:21,920 --> 00:43:24,000 Speaker 1: in the first round for sure, But I wonder if 772 00:43:24,000 --> 00:43:26,520 Speaker 1: this top ten talk for a guy that's five nine 773 00:43:27,400 --> 00:43:30,720 Speaker 1: and like, they have these things during the draft process 774 00:43:30,760 --> 00:43:34,319 Speaker 1: called the top thirty visits meeting beside the combine, you 775 00:43:34,360 --> 00:43:37,160 Speaker 1: can bring in in pro days and everything. You can 776 00:43:37,200 --> 00:43:40,360 Speaker 1: fly thirty people into your facility. Like it was a 777 00:43:40,400 --> 00:43:42,000 Speaker 1: big part when I worked in the office for a 778 00:43:42,040 --> 00:43:45,240 Speaker 1: couple of years. You know, that period after the combine 779 00:43:45,320 --> 00:43:48,960 Speaker 1: up until the draft, you bring in either character guys 780 00:43:49,960 --> 00:43:52,800 Speaker 1: or you know, mid round guys you're interested in that 781 00:43:52,880 --> 00:43:54,680 Speaker 1: may have some you know, issues that you want to 782 00:43:54,719 --> 00:43:57,719 Speaker 1: talk whatever. You can bring in whoever you want, but 783 00:43:57,760 --> 00:44:00,280 Speaker 1: you only get thirty of them. I would have agin 784 00:44:00,360 --> 00:44:04,440 Speaker 1: he'll take you know, it's thirty two NFL teams. I 785 00:44:04,520 --> 00:44:07,480 Speaker 1: bet he takes twenty visits, because if you're gonna convince 786 00:44:07,520 --> 00:44:10,680 Speaker 1: an owner to draft this guy really high, they're gonna 787 00:44:10,680 --> 00:44:12,960 Speaker 1: want to just see him in person. And most owners, 788 00:44:13,000 --> 00:44:16,200 Speaker 1: besides like Jerry Jones, don't go to the combine, so 789 00:44:16,480 --> 00:44:18,719 Speaker 1: they're gonna want to see this guy at their facility. 790 00:44:18,800 --> 00:44:21,319 Speaker 1: And imagine if you're like, I'm just using this hypothetical 791 00:44:22,360 --> 00:44:25,440 Speaker 1: like the Giants, and you bring him to the facility 792 00:44:25,680 --> 00:44:27,600 Speaker 1: and like the team's working out, like him walking, and 793 00:44:27,719 --> 00:44:30,480 Speaker 1: he'll look really small. It's gonna turn teams off. I'm 794 00:44:30,520 --> 00:44:32,960 Speaker 1: just telling you right now, get get ready for it. 795 00:44:32,960 --> 00:44:36,640 Speaker 1: It's turning teams off. Not necessarily me, but I am. 796 00:44:36,760 --> 00:44:40,280 Speaker 1: I am a little apprehensive. I'm not. I can't push 797 00:44:40,320 --> 00:44:42,200 Speaker 1: all my chips in the middle table like you can 798 00:44:42,239 --> 00:44:45,040 Speaker 1: sell me. And I came around. I probably wouldn't have 799 00:44:45,040 --> 00:44:48,040 Speaker 1: taken him one, but I did believe that Baker Mayfield 800 00:44:48,080 --> 00:44:51,480 Speaker 1: was a legitimate top ten prospect. So if you can 801 00:44:51,520 --> 00:44:52,840 Speaker 1: take a guy eight, why didn't you just take a 802 00:44:52,840 --> 00:44:57,040 Speaker 1: guy one. But he was a prototypical pocket corps. He 803 00:44:57,080 --> 00:44:59,399 Speaker 1: was like Drew Brees. If you liked him, you saw 804 00:44:59,600 --> 00:45:03,000 Speaker 1: Drew bre like, if you like Kyler Murray, you see 805 00:45:03,040 --> 00:45:06,080 Speaker 1: Michael Vick, but way smaller. Now, as someone in the 806 00:45:06,120 --> 00:45:10,480 Speaker 1: league told me, he's way more accurate, So that's that's important. 807 00:45:11,320 --> 00:45:15,040 Speaker 1: I just think he's an all time like scouting conundrum, 808 00:45:15,320 --> 00:45:19,800 Speaker 1: you know. I do think there are some parallels to 809 00:45:20,000 --> 00:45:22,879 Speaker 1: like eight years ago with Steph Curry when people saw 810 00:45:23,000 --> 00:45:28,200 Speaker 1: Steph and it's different because Steph, while he's small, he's 811 00:45:28,239 --> 00:45:31,120 Speaker 1: not like that. He's still six ft three, So even 812 00:45:31,200 --> 00:45:35,600 Speaker 1: at the small end of of NBA point guards, it 813 00:45:35,600 --> 00:45:37,680 Speaker 1: would be like if Steph there was a Steph Curry 814 00:45:37,680 --> 00:45:41,600 Speaker 1: in basketball that was five ten. But it's still like 815 00:45:41,600 --> 00:45:43,640 Speaker 1: when everyone saw Steph Curry, like, no way he could 816 00:45:43,680 --> 00:45:45,759 Speaker 1: really be this good in the pros. No way he's 817 00:45:45,760 --> 00:45:47,239 Speaker 1: gonna be able to shoot like that, and he did. 818 00:45:47,800 --> 00:45:49,880 Speaker 1: I think everyone's gonna try to talk themselves out, like, 819 00:45:49,960 --> 00:45:52,000 Speaker 1: no way he's really gonna be able to see and 820 00:45:52,040 --> 00:45:54,880 Speaker 1: maybe they're he's just really instinctive. Kyler is used to 821 00:45:54,880 --> 00:45:57,280 Speaker 1: being small, so he can see things that he shouldn't 822 00:45:57,280 --> 00:46:00,120 Speaker 1: be able to see because he's and granted, at Oakla Home, 823 00:46:00,280 --> 00:46:02,440 Speaker 1: they had a big offensive line. You know, It's like 824 00:46:02,560 --> 00:46:04,440 Speaker 1: Baker was small, but he played in front of big 825 00:46:04,480 --> 00:46:07,399 Speaker 1: offensive line, so he can see, and part of it 826 00:46:07,440 --> 00:46:10,160 Speaker 1: is like he can't maybe actually see, but he's instinctive 827 00:46:10,520 --> 00:46:12,880 Speaker 1: like Drew Brees. Like Drew Brees is throwing a lot 828 00:46:12,920 --> 00:46:16,000 Speaker 1: of guys to just areas, you know. And that's where 829 00:46:16,000 --> 00:46:18,480 Speaker 1: I think, if you're a Baker guy, you saw some 830 00:46:18,480 --> 00:46:21,440 Speaker 1: flashes of Drew Brees this year in his game, but 831 00:46:21,520 --> 00:46:24,680 Speaker 1: that like it was kind of an easy comp because 832 00:46:24,719 --> 00:46:28,600 Speaker 1: Baker was really accurate. Like who is Kyler Murray's camp? Now, 833 00:46:28,640 --> 00:46:32,480 Speaker 1: you don't always need comps, but they do help, you know, 834 00:46:32,640 --> 00:46:37,120 Speaker 1: Like when you say, I really like, uh, Devin White 835 00:46:37,160 --> 00:46:38,920 Speaker 1: of l s U, I think we should take him. 836 00:46:38,960 --> 00:46:42,280 Speaker 1: Let's just say, I'm like, uh, you know, a raider 837 00:46:42,400 --> 00:46:44,440 Speaker 1: scout at number four. I want to take this guy 838 00:46:44,480 --> 00:46:48,720 Speaker 1: at number four. He reminds me of ro Kwan Smith 839 00:46:49,760 --> 00:46:52,799 Speaker 1: and he has, let's just hypothetically say, as similar measurements. 840 00:46:52,840 --> 00:46:54,960 Speaker 1: It's easy to sell when I go, I think we 841 00:46:55,000 --> 00:46:57,719 Speaker 1: should draft Kyler Murray at number six, I'm a giant scout. Well, 842 00:46:57,719 --> 00:47:00,759 Speaker 1: who does he remind you of? Well, he doesn't really 843 00:47:00,800 --> 00:47:03,960 Speaker 1: remind me of anyone, which is a positive, but it 844 00:47:04,000 --> 00:47:07,239 Speaker 1: also can be a negative. They'll be like, well, he's 845 00:47:07,239 --> 00:47:09,799 Speaker 1: just gonna be some all time outlier and if he 846 00:47:09,880 --> 00:47:12,560 Speaker 1: does succeed, he will be I mean, that's just the case. 847 00:47:12,680 --> 00:47:15,840 Speaker 1: That's just the reality. Okay. Is it just me or 848 00:47:15,880 --> 00:47:18,480 Speaker 1: did it look like luck shoulder severely hindered in the 849 00:47:18,520 --> 00:47:21,319 Speaker 1: Chiefs game, no zip on his passes and every ball 850 00:47:21,360 --> 00:47:24,560 Speaker 1: was in the dirt. I wonder if he benefited a 851 00:47:24,600 --> 00:47:27,560 Speaker 1: lot this season, you know, I mean they plan a 852 00:47:27,680 --> 00:47:31,879 Speaker 1: dome and the shoulder injury, you know, I can imagine 853 00:47:32,239 --> 00:47:35,080 Speaker 1: that playing in that cold. I know it wasn't frigid cold, 854 00:47:35,120 --> 00:47:37,680 Speaker 1: but it was cold. It had been snowing. Was just 855 00:47:37,760 --> 00:47:39,640 Speaker 1: hard for him to get loose, because you're right, he 856 00:47:39,640 --> 00:47:43,000 Speaker 1: he was terrible. I mean, he he looked awful. And 857 00:47:43,080 --> 00:47:44,800 Speaker 1: at the end of the day, if you're a Colts 858 00:47:44,840 --> 00:47:48,160 Speaker 1: fan or even an NFL fan, like these guys in 859 00:47:48,200 --> 00:47:50,160 Speaker 1: the Dome, Like if Drew Brees had to go through 860 00:47:50,239 --> 00:47:52,400 Speaker 1: Chicago to get to the Super Bowl, he probably wouldn't 861 00:47:52,400 --> 00:47:54,759 Speaker 1: get there, you know, but he plays like if they 862 00:47:54,760 --> 00:47:57,120 Speaker 1: get a one or two seed, he's gonna play home games. Like, 863 00:47:57,160 --> 00:47:58,759 Speaker 1: as long as Luck can get a one or two 864 00:47:58,760 --> 00:48:02,520 Speaker 1: seed moving forward, he's not gonna win many games at Foxboro, 865 00:48:02,760 --> 00:48:07,400 Speaker 1: at Kansas City, you know, in at Baltimore, at Pittsburgh. 866 00:48:07,680 --> 00:48:09,759 Speaker 1: But he might not have to. If he can win 867 00:48:09,800 --> 00:48:12,359 Speaker 1: the South consistently and gets a twelve or thirteen wins, 868 00:48:12,920 --> 00:48:14,520 Speaker 1: they can play games in the r c A Dome. 869 00:48:14,760 --> 00:48:17,080 Speaker 1: That's what Peyton did. When Peyton finally got to the 870 00:48:17,080 --> 00:48:18,960 Speaker 1: Super Bowl the first time with the Colts, he didn't 871 00:48:19,000 --> 00:48:21,720 Speaker 1: do it at Foxboro. He did it the crazy comeback 872 00:48:21,719 --> 00:48:25,440 Speaker 1: in the Dome. You know when Drew Brees, who they 873 00:48:25,480 --> 00:48:27,719 Speaker 1: beat the Vikings, get a Super Bowl, they beat him 874 00:48:27,719 --> 00:48:29,480 Speaker 1: in the Dome. You know, if they go to Super 875 00:48:29,520 --> 00:48:32,200 Speaker 1: Bowl this year, it'll be in the Dome. So yeah, 876 00:48:32,239 --> 00:48:36,040 Speaker 1: I mean, Luck doesn't have a great arm, but I 877 00:48:36,360 --> 00:48:41,000 Speaker 1: you know, I really think that did. It benefits especially 878 00:48:41,040 --> 00:48:43,919 Speaker 1: with an injured guy and who doesn't have a great arm. 879 00:48:43,960 --> 00:48:46,399 Speaker 1: It helps when you play in the dome. So yeah, 880 00:48:46,440 --> 00:48:48,960 Speaker 1: that's that's a pretty good question. At John Middlecoff, you 881 00:48:48,960 --> 00:48:52,239 Speaker 1: can hit me up whenever you want in my Instagram 882 00:48:52,360 --> 00:48:55,440 Speaker 1: or Twitter.
