This is a Tuesday, man. We got 9 00:00:29,080 --> 00:00:33,360 Speaker 1: a lot to talk about in Chicago. It's The Herd 10 00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:38,159 Speaker 1: wherever you may be, however you may be watching or 11 00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:42,720 Speaker 1: listening whatever platform. One hour from now, The Herd Hierarchy. 12 00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:48,680 Speaker 1: Nick Wright stops by Jama. You know, I love Bonnix 13 00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:51,760 Speaker 1: and Sean Payton. I picked them to win their division. 14 00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:56,800 Speaker 1: But Sean Payton's history is he's thirty and thirty in September. 15 00:00:57,440 --> 00:01:00,400 Speaker 1: He loads up the offense. He loaded it up with 16 00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:03,640 Speaker 1: Drew Brees, who struggled early. With Sean Payton, he loads 17 00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:05,680 Speaker 1: it up with bow Nicks. There's a lot of mistakes 18 00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:08,400 Speaker 1: until last night. 19 00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:13,679 Speaker 3: Beeing Jing Browning. Yes, here we get excited. 20 00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:18,560 Speaker 1: So turning a football team around is hard, but it's 21 00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:21,280 Speaker 1: not that hard. There's a reason Parcells did it over 22 00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:23,520 Speaker 1: and over and over there's a reason Hardbod does it 23 00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:26,560 Speaker 1: over and over and over. Some people are smarter, some 24 00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:29,000 Speaker 1: people have a better eye for talent. It's not that hard. 25 00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:31,720 Speaker 1: Sean Payton took over Denver. They were in cap hell. 26 00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:34,880 Speaker 1: Russell Wilson is still their number one cap hit today. 27 00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:38,280 Speaker 1: They were five and twelve. We're scoring offense in the league. 28 00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:43,520 Speaker 1: Lowsey offensive line, very little skill today. Start of year three, 29 00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:47,600 Speaker 1: great o' line, two capable running backs, dudes everywhere in 30 00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:49,920 Speaker 1: the perimeter. How many guys do they have? They can 31 00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:53,240 Speaker 1: run and catch a lot. They'll also lead the NFL 32 00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:55,960 Speaker 1: in sacks for the second straight year. I love bo Nicks, 33 00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:58,880 Speaker 1: but he got lucky getting Sean Payton from play calling 34 00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:01,440 Speaker 1: to play design. He's one of the few coaches in 35 00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:05,080 Speaker 1: the NFL that is very good with personnel. He and 36 00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:08,760 Speaker 1: Harbaugh no personnel. A lot of good coaches. Kyle Shanahan, 37 00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:10,720 Speaker 1: Andy Reid, I don't think you're great with it or 38 00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:14,240 Speaker 1: don't care about it. Peyton's great at it. So nine 39 00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:17,760 Speaker 1: different guys caught a ball. Everybody's almost got the same 40 00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:22,160 Speaker 1: body type, lean long, with good hands, They run good routes. 41 00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:24,320 Speaker 1: It is a Super Bowl roster. I mean you watch 42 00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:27,640 Speaker 1: the Jets with their new coach. What do they do well? 43 00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:31,600 Speaker 1: What are they do? They do anything well? Broncos do 44 00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:35,720 Speaker 1: a lot well. If you lead the NFL in sacks, 45 00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:40,000 Speaker 1: you have perhaps the great play caller and designer next 46 00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:43,560 Speaker 1: to Andy Reid, and you've got all sorts of wide 47 00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:46,440 Speaker 1: receiver talent on the outside. Now, I love bo Nicks. 48 00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:50,320 Speaker 1: Watch how hard he throws the ball, his velocity, Unlike 49 00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:52,280 Speaker 1: a lot of these young quarterbacks. He throws the ball 50 00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:55,639 Speaker 1: down the field. And because of that, Sean Payton puts 51 00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:58,200 Speaker 1: a ton on his plate. He throws it down the field. 52 00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:02,160 Speaker 1: A lot of these young quarterbacks ink dunk, dik dunk. No. 53 00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:04,160 Speaker 1: Look at how often when he throws it out into 54 00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:07,280 Speaker 1: the flat, a running back or a receiver, a tight 55 00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:09,120 Speaker 1: end doesn't have to wait for it. And again he 56 00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:13,080 Speaker 1: makes hard throws. He'll throw him into congested areas. He'll 57 00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:16,480 Speaker 1: go right after people. He's intense. He kind of reminds 58 00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:19,080 Speaker 1: me of the opposite of Drew Locke. It is all 59 00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:24,320 Speaker 1: business all the time, hard throws, not messing around. He'll 60 00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:26,959 Speaker 1: bark at Sean Payton, and Sean Payton will bark back. 61 00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:29,320 Speaker 1: And Sean is a great coach. But He's not easy 62 00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:31,480 Speaker 1: to play for as a quarterback. Go back to Drew Brees. 63 00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:35,720 Speaker 1: Drew Brees second year in the turnaround in New Orleans 64 00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:38,800 Speaker 1: second year had his worst passer rating of his career. 65 00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:42,520 Speaker 1: That's why Shawn's record in September is just okay, thirty 66 00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:44,800 Speaker 1: to thirty because he puts so much on the plate 67 00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:48,160 Speaker 1: of his quarterbacks, so it is hard to turn around. 68 00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:51,800 Speaker 1: Denver people do not understand Russell Wilson is still their 69 00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:54,000 Speaker 1: number one cap hit. It was a mess. They gave 70 00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:56,480 Speaker 1: up draft capital, they gave up all those picks. That 71 00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:59,560 Speaker 1: a terrible offensive line they had like Courtland Sutton and 72 00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:02,400 Speaker 1: a lot of nonsense. You look at them now. It 73 00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:05,600 Speaker 1: is velocity on both sides. That's what Harbaugh did thirty 74 00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:09,000 Speaker 1: second defense to number one, same guys a year later. 75 00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:12,400 Speaker 1: So coaching works at mile high and the sea level. 76 00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:17,040 Speaker 1: It's about the process, it's about intensity. Coaches do it differently. 77 00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:23,120 Speaker 1: But the Broncos, my AFC West champion pick back to form, 78 00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:26,960 Speaker 1: cut down on the mistakes and bury the hapless Bengals 79 00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:27,679 Speaker 1: team here Sean. 80 00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:34,960 Speaker 4: Obviously early in the season, all thirty one other teams 81 00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:39,920 Speaker 4: are really working to figure out who they are we're 82 00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:43,200 Speaker 4: no different, but it certainly was a step in the 83 00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:46,200 Speaker 4: right direction. There were a lot of things that we 84 00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:50,039 Speaker 4: were able to do tonight that hopefully can carry over. 85 00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:55,520 Speaker 4: Now we change quickly to a team that just finished 86 00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:58,680 Speaker 4: when in the Super Bowl. So we'll enjoy this one 87 00:04:58,720 --> 00:04:59,800 Speaker 4: and then get back to work tomorrow. 88 00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:03,680 Speaker 1: I mean, just remember how bad this thing was. He 89 00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:08,520 Speaker 1: had Nathaniel Hackett. The offensive line was atrocious, clock management 90 00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:15,360 Speaker 1: was embarrassing. The ownership group was looking to sell the GM. 91 00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:18,160 Speaker 1: I liked he's still around, but there wasn't. They didn't 92 00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:21,479 Speaker 1: do much well, and I mean literally, Sean Payton rebuilt 93 00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:25,080 Speaker 1: the offensive line before he coached the game. He rebuilt 94 00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:28,200 Speaker 1: it in the first offseason. He got. Some of these 95 00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:30,600 Speaker 1: teams in the NFL, they're like on year five of 96 00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:36,080 Speaker 1: rebuilding the offensive line. Sean McVay, Jim Harbaugh, Sean Payton, 97 00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:39,480 Speaker 1: Andy Reid over and over and over rebuilt o lines overnight. 98 00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:42,240 Speaker 1: So I just think Denver is one of those five 99 00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:44,760 Speaker 1: or six rosters in the NFL that looked different, just 100 00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:49,640 Speaker 1: more speed, more skill. Broncos Coast all right, the game 101 00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:53,280 Speaker 1: that started before that game Jets and Dolphins. So these 102 00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:57,320 Speaker 1: are two bad organizations for, in my opinion, two very 103 00:05:57,320 --> 00:06:01,400 Speaker 1: different reasons. The Jets are bad because they make really 104 00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:04,960 Speaker 1: poor choices. There's too many voices upstairs. They make poor choices. 105 00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:07,360 Speaker 1: I mean they fired Robert Slim, the best coach on 106 00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:10,159 Speaker 1: their staff. They fired him as he was preparing his 107 00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:12,520 Speaker 1: team to play a game against Buffalo that had he 108 00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:14,719 Speaker 1: want he would have been in first place. You kept 109 00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:16,800 Speaker 1: him for three and a half years. That's when you're 110 00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:20,320 Speaker 1: going to fire him. They just make poor choices head coaches, 111 00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:24,760 Speaker 1: GMS quarterbacks. They have patience, but they can't get out 112 00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:27,600 Speaker 1: of their own way. They have urgency. They just make 113 00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:32,720 Speaker 1: bad choices. The Dolphins are different. The Dolphins are rarely awful. 114 00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:34,920 Speaker 1: Sixty percent of the time in the last fifteen years 115 00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:37,120 Speaker 1: they win seven, eight or nine games. They're not awful. 116 00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:42,200 Speaker 1: The Dolphins are just too loyal to average people. Their 117 00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:45,640 Speaker 1: standards aren't very high. I mean, Tyreek Hill has been 118 00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:49,520 Speaker 1: banging on his coach and his quarterback for two years publicly. 119 00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:54,360 Speaker 1: I said it last year. Move him, didn't Now he's 120 00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:59,000 Speaker 1: hurt Tua. In the AFC, the best teams play in cold, 121 00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:03,200 Speaker 1: windy weather in December and January. The Baltimore's, the Kansas 122 00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:09,400 Speaker 1: City's the Cincinnatis two doesn't work. Move off him. No, 123 00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:12,040 Speaker 1: they gave me a huge extension. How about Chris Greer, 124 00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:13,920 Speaker 1: the GM been a GM for a decade. I think 125 00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:16,560 Speaker 1: he's the longest tenured GM in the AFC. It's got 126 00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:21,880 Speaker 1: no playoff wins. Move on, Tyreek Tua, Chris Greer, too 127 00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:26,080 Speaker 1: much patience. Go look at the Miami Heat excellence top 128 00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:28,520 Speaker 1: to bottom. They move people don't want to play here. 129 00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:34,440 Speaker 1: Lebron By the Jets. The Jets want to win, but 130 00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:38,640 Speaker 1: they make terrible choices and do nothing well. The Dolphins 131 00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:43,120 Speaker 1: actually do offense pretty well. They're never really terrible. They 132 00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:46,160 Speaker 1: make some good hires, some good acquisitions, They have some 133 00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:54,160 Speaker 1: good players. But I mean, why is Miami settling? The 134 00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:58,240 Speaker 1: Jets aren't satisfied being lousy. They're just incapable of fixing it. 135 00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:01,560 Speaker 1: The Dolphins are really okay winning eight to nine games. 136 00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:05,320 Speaker 1: They're just okay being okay. And that's what I see. 137 00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:09,880 Speaker 1: I mean, I think those are two struggling franchises, and 138 00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:13,160 Speaker 1: I think in Miami they they've still convinced themselves. You know, 139 00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:16,760 Speaker 1: Mike McDaniel's smart. Well to him made the Pro Bowl. 140 00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:20,920 Speaker 1: He hasn't been hurt lately. Well, Chris Greer, he's part 141 00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:26,000 Speaker 1: of the family. Okay, in a conference with Buffalo and 142 00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:30,400 Speaker 1: Mahomes and Andy Reid and now Denver and now Herbert 143 00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:33,400 Speaker 1: and hardball, that's not good enough. The Jets, they don't 144 00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:37,760 Speaker 1: do anything well. I mean justin fields. You got to 145 00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:40,559 Speaker 1: watch the game. Doesn't throw the ball down the field. 146 00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:43,760 Speaker 1: You know, a great athlete, great kid, that's not a 147 00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:48,720 Speaker 1: franchise quarterback. They're all in four and here's here's Aaron Glenn, 148 00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:53,679 Speaker 1: who promised what he took over discipline, effectiveness, no more 149 00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:54,480 Speaker 1: sloppy play. 150 00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:59,080 Speaker 5: I'm very disappointed. And there's no way way you can 151 00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:03,080 Speaker 5: win any game with thirteen penalties and three turnoo was. 152 00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:07,040 Speaker 5: It just can't happen. But what we have to do 153 00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:09,520 Speaker 5: is go back to work. We have to go That's 154 00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:11,000 Speaker 5: the only way that we can fix them. 155 00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:14,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's I mean, when Aaron Glenn got the job, 156 00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:18,600 Speaker 1: the whole takeaway was, Hey, we're not gonna be like 157 00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:23,520 Speaker 1: those guys. We're gonna get disciplined. It's not that they're losing. 158 00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:28,240 Speaker 1: Remember when Dan Campbell with Jared Goff, excellent quarterback, took 159 00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:30,960 Speaker 1: over Detroit. Go look at the first ten fifteen games awful, 160 00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:34,720 Speaker 1: that's not it. But remember what that Detroit team was like. 161 00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:36,840 Speaker 1: Do you remember when he first took over. I can 162 00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:39,120 Speaker 1: remember going on the air in the first year and 163 00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:40,520 Speaker 1: a half, and they weren't good, saying, man, I don't 164 00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:42,840 Speaker 1: think I've ever seen a team play this hard. They're 165 00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:45,679 Speaker 1: not very good. The defense is atrocious, but man, they 166 00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:48,280 Speaker 1: play hard. I can't even say that about the Jets. 167 00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:51,439 Speaker 1: They're just you gotta do something right after four or 168 00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:54,480 Speaker 1: five games. Even when Peyton took over Denver in the 169 00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:57,040 Speaker 1: first year with Russell Wilson, he made Russell Wilson the 170 00:09:57,040 --> 00:09:59,880 Speaker 1: best Russell Wilson could be. He fixed Russell Wilson to 171 00:09:59,880 --> 00:10:03,320 Speaker 1: the level you could fix Russell Wilson four or five games. 172 00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:05,679 Speaker 1: I gotta see stuff. I can't see a lot of penalties. 173 00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:08,240 Speaker 1: I can't see a lot of nonsense. I can't see 174 00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:09,880 Speaker 1: a lot of turnovers. I got to be able to 175 00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:11,960 Speaker 1: point to something and to go, oh, that defensive coach 176 00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:15,360 Speaker 1: has a great defense. Now the defense is worse, So 177 00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:19,320 Speaker 1: j Mac. You know, Mets fans tend to be Jets 178 00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:21,760 Speaker 1: fans in New York. So it has been a bad 179 00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:24,160 Speaker 1: forty eight hours in New York. For Mets and Jet. 180 00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:26,760 Speaker 6: Guy very tough. The over did hit last night, so 181 00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:29,199 Speaker 6: we were happy about that. But Colin, I honestly think 182 00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:31,800 Speaker 6: the Jets probably pick up the phone today and call 183 00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:35,480 Speaker 6: like the Rams, Hey, you know, are you guys interested 184 00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:36,200 Speaker 6: in Sauce Gardner. 185 00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:38,640 Speaker 3: I start moving off defensive players. I know it's early. 186 00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:39,440 Speaker 3: People don't. 187 00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:41,800 Speaker 6: Oh he loves Sauce Gardner. You're not going anywhere. Go 188 00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:45,280 Speaker 6: ahead and start accumulating draft picks. I like the offensive pieces, right, 189 00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:48,360 Speaker 6: you like your Wilson Bryce Hall offensive line. 190 00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:51,920 Speaker 1: I like Alan, the other running back from Wisconsin. Yeah. 191 00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:55,560 Speaker 1: I think they have peace. I think they I'm not 192 00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:58,200 Speaker 1: worried about talent. I just you have to show me 193 00:10:58,240 --> 00:10:59,760 Speaker 1: something through four or five games. You got to be 194 00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:02,840 Speaker 1: good something. When Lincoln Riley took over USC, the offense 195 00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:05,440 Speaker 1: was good immediately. You gotta be good at something. If 196 00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:08,280 Speaker 1: you're a defensive coach, your defense can't look like that. 197 00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:09,360 Speaker 1: That can't be what it looks like. 198 00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:11,840 Speaker 6: Jets are gonna battle the Saints and Titans for the 199 00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:14,120 Speaker 6: number one pick. And I think you said yesterday you 200 00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:18,120 Speaker 6: liked Dante Moore above Simpson from Alabama. Because the Jets 201 00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:20,760 Speaker 6: are gonna start looking at quarterback like the Evaluating Starts. 202 00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:21,960 Speaker 1: Now, Oh yeah right, yeah. 203 00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:24,719 Speaker 2: Be sure to catch live editions of The Herd weekdays 204 00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:28,280 Speaker 2: and Noone Eastern non am Pacific on Fox Sports Radio 205 00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:30,760 Speaker 2: FS one and the iHeartRadio app. 206 00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:33,400 Speaker 3: Hey, this is Jason McIntyre. 207 00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:37,120 Speaker 6: Join me every weekday morning on my podcast, Straight Fire 208 00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:41,040 Speaker 6: with Jason McIntyre. This isn't your typical sports pod pushing 209 00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:42,960 Speaker 6: the same tired narratives down your. 210 00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:43,520 Speaker 3: Throat every day. 211 00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:47,240 Speaker 6: Straight Fire gives you honest opinions on all the biggest 212 00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:50,240 Speaker 6: sports headlines, accurate stats to help you win big at 213 00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:51,160 Speaker 6: the sports book. 214 00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:52,240 Speaker 3: And all the best guests. 215 00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:55,120 Speaker 6: Do yourself a favor and listen to Straight Fire with 216 00:11:55,240 --> 00:12:00,200 Speaker 6: Jason McIntyre on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever 217 00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:04,920 Speaker 6: you get your podcasts. 218 00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:15,480 Speaker 1: So I was a little perplexed at the overreaction to 219 00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:18,520 Speaker 1: Jerry Jones trading MICHAEH. Parsons. And I've been as critical 220 00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:22,600 Speaker 1: of the Cowboys as I think almost any national broadcaster. 221 00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:26,920 Speaker 1: I talked about the Cowboys. I followed this less last 222 00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:30,360 Speaker 1: year than any year, but I thought the Michael Parsons 223 00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:32,960 Speaker 1: move made a lot of sense. And let me explain this. 224 00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:37,960 Speaker 1: There's three things you need to be a great team, 225 00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:40,840 Speaker 1: a great head coach, a great quarterback into me a 226 00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:44,640 Speaker 1: great left tackle. The Rams had to rebuild with Anne 227 00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:48,199 Speaker 1: Drew Whitworth retired. They were fine without Von Miller. They 228 00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:51,400 Speaker 1: even made it fine without Aaron Donald, although he's great. 229 00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:55,160 Speaker 1: I would have moved Michael Parsons too. Edge rushers do 230 00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:58,520 Speaker 1: not equal super bowls. Let me list the highest paid 231 00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:02,640 Speaker 1: edge rushers in the NFL current Micah TJ Watt, Miles, Garrett, 232 00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:07,280 Speaker 1: danil Hunter, Max Crosby, Josh Heinz, Allen, Brian Burns. A 233 00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:10,640 Speaker 1: lot of guys. They don't even sniff the playoffs. Yeah, 234 00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:14,559 Speaker 1: Nick Bose has got some, but yes, so did everybody 235 00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:19,679 Speaker 1: on those Niners. The overreaction's crazy, what you really want? 236 00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:24,080 Speaker 1: I have always argued that an edge rusher is the 237 00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:28,520 Speaker 1: second most important defensive lineman. He's not even the most 238 00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:32,400 Speaker 1: important defensive lineman. The most important defensive lineman is the 239 00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:36,400 Speaker 1: interior defensive lineman. Because a it's a very rare body type, 240 00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:39,920 Speaker 1: six feet one three point thirty with great feet. There 241 00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:44,480 Speaker 1: are edge rushers all over this league. Everybody's got every 242 00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:47,920 Speaker 1: second team's got a great one. How many great interior 243 00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:52,199 Speaker 1: defensive linemen are there, Chris Jones, Jalen Carter, not many, 244 00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:56,680 Speaker 1: Reggie White, Aaron Donald, you can name them because there's 245 00:13:56,679 --> 00:13:58,920 Speaker 1: been so few body types. The second thing is all 246 00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:03,120 Speaker 1: quarterbacks hate pressure at their feet. Tom Brady never minded 247 00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:05,920 Speaker 1: pressure on the outside. He'd step up. He hated pressure 248 00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:09,679 Speaker 1: around his feet. So did Peyton Manning. So does Mahomes. 249 00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:13,199 Speaker 1: So to me, when is Mahomes been blown out in 250 00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:15,480 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl when he doesn't have a good left tackle. 251 00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:19,800 Speaker 1: He's won super Bowls without great receivers, He's run super 252 00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:23,520 Speaker 1: Bowls without great defenses. But when he's had bad left tackles, 253 00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:27,440 Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes, our most skiptic quarterback's been blown off the 254 00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:33,520 Speaker 1: field twice, right, So to me, move him. And you 255 00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:35,440 Speaker 1: know you're paying Dak a lot, so you got to 256 00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:38,480 Speaker 1: give Dak protection. They're trying to rebuild their own line. 257 00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:40,960 Speaker 1: You got to give him a weapon. Seedee Lamb. But 258 00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:43,360 Speaker 1: I think Jerry Jones said it this week, and we 259 00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:47,720 Speaker 1: noticed in the Cowboys Green Bay game. I think micah 260 00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:50,080 Speaker 1: was great for Green Bay because they don't do well 261 00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:52,920 Speaker 1: in free agency. It's kind of a boring town. Stars 262 00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:56,240 Speaker 1: don't are not interested, and they've drafted and developed so well, 263 00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:57,840 Speaker 1: they don't need a first round pick for a year 264 00:14:57,920 --> 00:15:00,400 Speaker 1: or two. And they're also green Bay as a team. 265 00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:02,960 Speaker 1: Because of their offensive greatness and efficiency, They're going to 266 00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:04,640 Speaker 1: lead a lot of games with four minutes to go. 267 00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:07,760 Speaker 1: They need a bullpen, they need a closer. So it's 268 00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:10,120 Speaker 1: a good fit. Dallas doesn't lead as many games late, 269 00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:14,040 Speaker 1: Dallas needs flexibility in draft capital, and now they have 270 00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:16,400 Speaker 1: four number one picks in the next two years. So 271 00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:19,040 Speaker 1: it's just the overreaction to it. And Jerry Jones talked 272 00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:21,720 Speaker 1: about it yesterday, Dak's on fire. You had to pay Dak. 273 00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:25,120 Speaker 7: I've got to tell you that I think he's played 274 00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:28,720 Speaker 7: well every game this year, and well enough at quarterback 275 00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:30,000 Speaker 7: rush to make. 276 00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:32,120 Speaker 1: The playoffs, right, And you talked about it before. 277 00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:34,840 Speaker 7: Just singlearly that he's capable of If he continues to 278 00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:38,600 Speaker 7: play like this and we can keep putting it together 279 00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:42,200 Speaker 7: and paste it up there, then we've got a chance. 280 00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:47,080 Speaker 7: It's very simple. Well, Dak was indispensable in my mind, 281 00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:50,840 Speaker 7: and so yes, and Michael wasn't. 282 00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:55,080 Speaker 1: And he's right. There are great edge rushers everywhere. The 283 00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:57,440 Speaker 1: Bengals have two great receivers. They couldn't even make the 284 00:15:57,440 --> 00:15:59,800 Speaker 1: playoffs last year, they couldn't be one of the fourteen 285 00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:03,760 Speaker 1: teams in the league with Joe Burrow. So this idea 286 00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:07,360 Speaker 1: that you can't move Micah Parsons. I remember years ago 287 00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:09,480 Speaker 1: talking to Bill Polly in a GM. He said, when 288 00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:13,400 Speaker 1: we drafted Peyton Manning, we knew we would lead games 289 00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:16,120 Speaker 1: late in the fourth quarter, so we had to get 290 00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:19,160 Speaker 1: an edge rusher. We needed a closer in our bullpen. 291 00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:22,280 Speaker 1: The reason Mariano Rivera is the all time great because 292 00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:24,320 Speaker 1: the Yankees led so many games in the eighth inning. 293 00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:28,040 Speaker 1: The Oakland A's could have a great closer. They trail 294 00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:31,760 Speaker 1: in most of those. So Michael works for Green Bay. 295 00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:35,440 Speaker 1: They lead late all the time. It's like a Peyton 296 00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:39,200 Speaker 1: Manning's Colts Lafleur Jordan love those receivers. They usually have 297 00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:41,880 Speaker 1: good old lines. They need somebody to close make a 298 00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:46,560 Speaker 1: big play. Dallas wasn't in that spot. Dallas needed flexibility. 299 00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:49,760 Speaker 1: Dallas couldn't even pay eight million bucks for Derick Henry. 300 00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:51,920 Speaker 1: I mean, Jerry Jones is a deal maker for two 301 00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:55,200 Speaker 1: free agent periods, he didn't do anything he wanted to. 302 00:16:55,880 --> 00:17:00,240 Speaker 1: So this green Bay Dallas game is an example. Is 303 00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:03,800 Speaker 1: that if Dak's playing like this, and you go into 304 00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:07,639 Speaker 1: the next draft with two first round picks and you 305 00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:10,440 Speaker 1: don't need a quarterback in seven teams in the league, 306 00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:13,160 Speaker 1: including the two we watched last night, Miami, New York 307 00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:17,960 Speaker 1: and maybe Cincinnati. Who knows Pearls hurt again. Dallas is 308 00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:20,440 Speaker 1: going to turn those two number one picks. It could 309 00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:23,720 Speaker 1: turn it into six other picks. J Mack with the news. 310 00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:30,040 Speaker 2: No, no, turn on the news. This is the herdline news. 311 00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:33,399 Speaker 6: All right, Colin, let's get started with AJ Brown and 312 00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:37,320 Speaker 6: the Eagles. Obviously, Philadelphia's second half output or lack thereof, 313 00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:41,399 Speaker 6: against the Bucks was embarrassing, and AJ Brown was a 314 00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:45,000 Speaker 6: non factor in the game against Tampa. He caught two 315 00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:48,240 Speaker 6: passes for seven yards on nine targets. Then he put 316 00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:51,480 Speaker 6: out that cryptic tweet after the game, Nick Sirianni, he's 317 00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:52,399 Speaker 6: down playing all of it. 318 00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:52,760 Speaker 3: Colin. 319 00:17:54,520 --> 00:18:00,199 Speaker 8: Aj is very important to this football team, you know, 320 00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:02,880 Speaker 8: I know he wants to contribute. I know he wants 321 00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:05,440 Speaker 8: to contribute and you know, do the things that he's 322 00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:10,000 Speaker 8: capable of doing. He wants to contribute into into these wins. 323 00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:12,600 Speaker 8: And he's had a couple of games where he hasn't 324 00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:16,239 Speaker 8: been able to, you know, and for different reasons of 325 00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:19,000 Speaker 8: why we haven't in these games. 326 00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:27,359 Speaker 1: I still I'll still make an argument that for most careers, 327 00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:32,800 Speaker 1: you're better served for most careers working for a great company, 328 00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:36,000 Speaker 1: being part of a great team and winning. But if 329 00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:39,200 Speaker 1: you are a pro football player and a wide receiver 330 00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:42,440 Speaker 1: and you're being tackled by big, strong men, you got 331 00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:45,119 Speaker 1: about six years of prime. Even Pooka, as much as 332 00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:47,600 Speaker 1: we love him, gets dinged up a lot, and that 333 00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:50,920 Speaker 1: I think it'd be like asking Toobe Bryant only five shots. 334 00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:57,080 Speaker 1: I'll back pro athletes, especially in really physical professions, you 335 00:18:57,200 --> 00:19:00,679 Speaker 1: got a six year window to create your legacy. And 336 00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:03,160 Speaker 1: I think he is very frustrated. I don't think he's 337 00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:05,840 Speaker 1: a great fit. I don't think this quarterback in him 338 00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:09,920 Speaker 1: not blaming anybody. Nine targets seven yards, like it's it 339 00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:13,840 Speaker 1: is every three games out of four, they've got an 340 00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:17,000 Speaker 1: aj Brown issue. And I think he's like, I need 341 00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:20,399 Speaker 1: more shots. I got about three more years of prime, 342 00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:25,679 Speaker 1: and usually I'm hey, you're winning games. Winning games is important. 343 00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:28,600 Speaker 1: It's not the only thing for a pro athlete. Legacy 344 00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:31,280 Speaker 1: matters too. There's a reason Tom Brady signed a big 345 00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:33,760 Speaker 1: contract with Fox. He won a lot of games. He 346 00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:36,600 Speaker 1: took pay cuts, and he took pay cuts to win more, 347 00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:39,560 Speaker 1: and to win more, you get offered more jobs. That's 348 00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:43,680 Speaker 1: the reality post career. So I look at AJ Brown 349 00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:45,680 Speaker 1: and I say, these numbers are horrific. 350 00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:49,959 Speaker 6: Wow, I'm a little surprised by this take. So so, 351 00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:52,880 Speaker 6: just so I heard you correctly, like AJ Brown's got 352 00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:55,120 Speaker 6: a legacy to protect. Hey, man, I need the ball, 353 00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:55,800 Speaker 6: I need stats. 354 00:19:55,840 --> 00:19:58,760 Speaker 1: Is that we're saying Aj Brown is a top three 355 00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:01,960 Speaker 1: to four receiver in the sport. He gets targeted less 356 00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:05,600 Speaker 1: than a backup tight end. He's as productive with a 357 00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:08,360 Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts as a as a number three tight end 358 00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:09,879 Speaker 1: for Buffalo. 359 00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:14,240 Speaker 6: So you know, game script often dictates, you know, the 360 00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:16,760 Speaker 6: target share. Remember against the Rams, they're trailing. Hey, we 361 00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:18,720 Speaker 6: got a fource feed AJ Brown. Let's get in the ball, 362 00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:21,160 Speaker 6: and it worked and they won. They're up twenty four 363 00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:24,399 Speaker 6: to six. I believe against the Bucks they're not throwing 364 00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:25,200 Speaker 6: the football a lot. 365 00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:25,800 Speaker 1: Hurts. 366 00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:28,080 Speaker 6: I think at zero passing yards in the second half, 367 00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:29,040 Speaker 6: they didn't need it. 368 00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:32,520 Speaker 3: They won. So on some level I would just be 369 00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:33,440 Speaker 3: sitting around. 370 00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:35,520 Speaker 6: Be like, bro, we're winning. We're the best team in 371 00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:37,320 Speaker 6: the league. We just won the Super Bowl. What are 372 00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:40,280 Speaker 6: you crying about? That would be my counter to AJ Brown. 373 00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:45,720 Speaker 1: Well, again, I think winning is really important, but it's 374 00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:48,480 Speaker 1: one when you have a career. What it could be 375 00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:51,240 Speaker 1: in working on oil, Derek. If you have a shorter career, 376 00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:55,280 Speaker 1: lawyers don't, doctors don't you and I don't. But if 377 00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:58,680 Speaker 1: you have a short six seven year career, like let's 378 00:20:58,680 --> 00:21:00,960 Speaker 1: say you're an astronaut in the Space program, you're going 379 00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:04,880 Speaker 1: to get one opportunity in your entire career to get 380 00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:08,399 Speaker 1: on that rocket. One. So you have to be a 381 00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:11,080 Speaker 1: little selfish. If you want a legacy as being an 382 00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:13,399 Speaker 1: all time great ass run, you don't get six trips 383 00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:16,359 Speaker 1: up there. NASA has not given you six. So my 384 00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:19,760 Speaker 1: take is we always bang on pro athletes, Oh they're selfish. 385 00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:24,200 Speaker 1: There are careers where there are timelines to be highly effective, 386 00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:25,280 Speaker 1: and I think this is one of them. 387 00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:25,880 Speaker 3: So what's the move. 388 00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:28,120 Speaker 6: Do they go to them and say, hey, Jay, listen, honestly, 389 00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:30,760 Speaker 6: this is nonsense. We threw you the ball nine times, 390 00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:31,320 Speaker 6: it didn't happen. 391 00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:32,200 Speaker 1: We want who. 392 00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:34,359 Speaker 3: Cares to do you want to be here? Aj? Do 393 00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:35,600 Speaker 3: you want to win another Super Bowl? 394 00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:38,600 Speaker 1: And I would say, if I was Aja privately, if 395 00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:41,360 Speaker 1: you want to move me, all be a good soldier, 396 00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:44,720 Speaker 1: giving you leverage in a trade negotiation. I will not 397 00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:48,160 Speaker 1: go public. Remember when lu Al Sinder moved out of Milwaukee. 398 00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:51,280 Speaker 1: He made a decision a year before. But he was 399 00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:53,280 Speaker 1: a good guy, he was a good steward. He said, listen, 400 00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:55,040 Speaker 1: I'm not going to screw it up. I want you 401 00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:57,520 Speaker 1: guys to get tons of players. And so he was 402 00:21:57,600 --> 00:22:00,960 Speaker 1: unhappy the year before. Milwaukee ended up up doing about 403 00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:03,479 Speaker 1: as well as you could do. And I think if 404 00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:05,000 Speaker 1: I was Aj Brown, I'm like, I'm not going to 405 00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:07,800 Speaker 1: screw the ore. Remember when Carmelo Anthony was in denvern 406 00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:10,159 Speaker 1: he He's like, I got to be a Nick. Well, 407 00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:12,720 Speaker 1: the Knicks had to give up so much to get him. 408 00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:15,240 Speaker 1: He was an expensive chandelier in an empty man so 409 00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:16,359 Speaker 1: there was nothing around it. 410 00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:18,760 Speaker 6: Well, you've boxed me into a corner here because I'm 411 00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:21,320 Speaker 6: usually pro player and your arguments interesting. 412 00:22:21,359 --> 00:22:22,160 Speaker 3: I'm sorry, I go. 413 00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:24,280 Speaker 6: To the Eagles on if I'm the Eagles, Hey, we 414 00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:25,840 Speaker 6: need you to win another Super Bowl. 415 00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:28,520 Speaker 3: We're just not going to force feed you when we 416 00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:30,600 Speaker 3: don't need to. Sorry, And if. 417 00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:32,240 Speaker 6: You want to cry about it and go on social media, 418 00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:35,040 Speaker 6: that's you. But we want you here, We're not training you. 419 00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:37,600 Speaker 6: Why would I move off AJ Brown? Like you said, 420 00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:40,960 Speaker 6: he's a top four receiver in the league. This is 421 00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:43,760 Speaker 6: a tough spot for the Eagles. You can't move a J. 422 00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:45,639 Speaker 2: Brown anyways. 423 00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:46,879 Speaker 3: All right, let's move on to the Ravens. 424 00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:49,520 Speaker 6: They are one and three for just the second time 425 00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:53,320 Speaker 6: in John Harbaugh's era, and bad news calling Lamar Jackson. 426 00:22:53,359 --> 00:22:56,439 Speaker 6: We don't know his status for this weekend's game against 427 00:22:56,440 --> 00:22:59,679 Speaker 6: the Texans and that nasty defense. However, we do know 428 00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:04,520 Speaker 6: about two defenders. Mata Bouquet, sorry for butchering his name. 429 00:23:04,680 --> 00:23:07,840 Speaker 6: He's out for the season. The defensive lineman Rokwan Smith 430 00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:12,000 Speaker 6: set to miss multiple weeks. He's an elite linebacker. I 431 00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:14,679 Speaker 6: think he's the highest paid defender they have. And Marlin Humphrey, 432 00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:17,439 Speaker 6: who's been burnt toast in the slot. You know, some 433 00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:19,920 Speaker 6: people might say that's not a loss. Still, he's out 434 00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:22,119 Speaker 6: for a few weeks. We don't know yet about Nate Wiggins, 435 00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:25,320 Speaker 6: the young corner. Listen at Harball. Baltimore is up the 436 00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:27,040 Speaker 6: creek right now, here's Harball talking about it. 437 00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:31,359 Speaker 9: I'm concerned, but I'm not overwhelmed by it. You know, 438 00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:33,720 Speaker 9: we played the three losses or kids probably three of 439 00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:35,520 Speaker 9: the top teams in the league for sure, you know, 440 00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:38,520 Speaker 9: And that's just the hand we've been dealt. But it 441 00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:40,800 Speaker 9: doesn't really matter. We've got to win the next game, 442 00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:42,520 Speaker 9: and then once you win the next game, then you 443 00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:44,800 Speaker 9: have a chance to start stacking some wins. And that's 444 00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:46,680 Speaker 9: what we've got to do, big picture wise, but small 445 00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:48,000 Speaker 9: picture wise. We got to do a great job of 446 00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:50,719 Speaker 9: putting together a great game plan and a great practice 447 00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:51,800 Speaker 9: and then a great game. 448 00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:56,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's both horrballs. Are dealing with major injuries right now, 449 00:23:56,359 --> 00:24:00,120 Speaker 1: Jim on the old line and the back end. I 450 00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:03,680 Speaker 1: I understand, you know, like listen Vikings O line, Chargers 451 00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:08,880 Speaker 1: O line, you have major injuries to one unit, Baltimore's 452 00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:12,399 Speaker 1: D line. I'm more concerned with Lamar Jackson playing Kansas City. 453 00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:15,240 Speaker 1: I was a concerned with the offense after the first series. 454 00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:20,720 Speaker 1: He played poorly, and I'm a huge Lamar fan. The 455 00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:24,920 Speaker 1: defense will eventually get it right when they get somewhat healthier, 456 00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:27,040 Speaker 1: But I think Baltimore's in a weird spot. You know, 457 00:24:27,080 --> 00:24:30,160 Speaker 1: the winner in all this is Aaron Rodgers and the Steelers. 458 00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:34,160 Speaker 1: I mean, seriously, Aaron Rodgers. Yeah, I know you can 459 00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:36,600 Speaker 1: shake your head, but no, you're right. You're right. Cincinnati's 460 00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:41,800 Speaker 1: poorly run, Baltimore's falling apart in Cleveland is basically looking 461 00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:44,840 Speaker 1: ahead the next year. Aaron Rodgers and the Steelers are 462 00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:45,840 Speaker 1: gonna win this division. 463 00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:48,440 Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm gonna look at the odds on that real quick. 464 00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:53,080 Speaker 6: The line for Texans Ravens was seven. It's down to three. 465 00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:53,399 Speaker 3: And a half. 466 00:24:53,880 --> 00:24:56,400 Speaker 6: Okay, this is a trouble spot. Here's the worst news 467 00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:59,960 Speaker 6: for Baltimore. They got the Rams after the Texans. Yeah, 468 00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:01,679 Speaker 6: then they got to buy. They could go into the 469 00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:05,320 Speaker 6: buy one in five. Do you consider shutting down Lamar 470 00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:07,679 Speaker 6: for a couple of weeks here and then make a 471 00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:10,840 Speaker 6: second half push, because well if one in five too 472 00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:12,840 Speaker 6: much of a hole, or like, the Steelers are not 473 00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:13,879 Speaker 6: going to run away in high. 474 00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:17,040 Speaker 1: Know because with Lamar, I could win every game in 475 00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:20,040 Speaker 1: my division that I have remaining on the schedule. I 476 00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:21,879 Speaker 1: mean if they I mean, if you start looking at 477 00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:26,200 Speaker 1: their games, they could beat you know, they got another 478 00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:28,800 Speaker 1: game against Cleveland, They got the Bengals twice. 479 00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:31,280 Speaker 3: They may face Jake Browning twice. That might be too 480 00:25:31,320 --> 00:25:31,880 Speaker 3: Brownie out. 481 00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:33,520 Speaker 1: So I mean, I think they're going to be so 482 00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:36,840 Speaker 1: dominant in division if they're just decent on defense. But 483 00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:39,359 Speaker 1: eventually I wouldn't shut anything down. 484 00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:41,479 Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean the second half of their schedule. 485 00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:42,400 Speaker 3: Look at that Colin. 486 00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:48,479 Speaker 6: Brown's Jets, Bengal of Browning Steelers, Browning May. Yeah, they're 487 00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:50,400 Speaker 6: gonna win a lot of games. So maybe Lamar sits 488 00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:52,080 Speaker 6: this week? Should we go back? You want to lock 489 00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:53,520 Speaker 6: in for blazing five. 490 00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:56,160 Speaker 1: I'll take you a number. I'm gonna lock in right now. 491 00:25:56,240 --> 00:25:57,159 Speaker 3: Let's do it. Let's do it. 492 00:25:57,320 --> 00:25:58,840 Speaker 1: Let's do. Let me give you a number. I'm gonna 493 00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:01,879 Speaker 1: loock in the Colts hosting the Raiders. What is the 494 00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:04,800 Speaker 1: number at right now? Okay, let me it's six and 495 00:26:04,840 --> 00:26:07,280 Speaker 1: a half. I'm locking in the Colts right now. 496 00:26:07,560 --> 00:26:09,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, what is that? I'm seeing seven? 497 00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:11,320 Speaker 1: Colin, But hey, I'm gonna lock that in. 498 00:26:11,600 --> 00:26:14,680 Speaker 3: Yeah. Let's story, yeah, final story, real quick. 499 00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:18,280 Speaker 6: Your Broncos we got to revisit and they blasted the Bengals. 500 00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:22,280 Speaker 6: But but but look at this Jamar Chase very unhappy, 501 00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:25,680 Speaker 6: and guess what head coach Zach Taylor has to calm 502 00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:28,600 Speaker 6: him down. So last year it was Burrow very unhappy. 503 00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:30,920 Speaker 6: Now it's Jamar Chase. What the hell is going on 504 00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:35,199 Speaker 6: and he's popping off on the sideline. Now both of 505 00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:38,200 Speaker 6: them are downplaying the interaction afterward. But Colin, you know 506 00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:39,320 Speaker 6: the video doesn't lie. 507 00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:43,080 Speaker 3: We're talking about the possession, talking about what plays we 508 00:26:43,119 --> 00:26:46,719 Speaker 3: can run. How can we know we attack certain coverages 509 00:26:46,760 --> 00:26:48,040 Speaker 3: and get out there, make us a ball. 510 00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:49,080 Speaker 10: He's just competitive. 511 00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:50,400 Speaker 1: He just wants to win. 512 00:26:51,280 --> 00:26:54,520 Speaker 10: And it comes across as emotional, but that's just That's 513 00:26:54,560 --> 00:26:58,199 Speaker 10: just a captain that works his tail off. All he 514 00:26:58,240 --> 00:27:00,240 Speaker 10: wants to do is win the game. All he wants 515 00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:03,119 Speaker 10: to do his affect the game. And and oftentimes he 516 00:27:03,119 --> 00:27:04,400 Speaker 10: feels like if I have the bone in my hand, 517 00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:11,280 Speaker 10: I can do that. And I don't disagree with him. 518 00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:11,080 Speaker 1: So I don't get two worked up. I mean there 519 00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:14,879 Speaker 1: are certain players, yeah, I mean I think Zach Taylor. 520 00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:17,520 Speaker 1: You and I have gone many rounds over this guy. 521 00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:24,800 Speaker 1: Colin's terrible. He's not a good football coach. He's capable. 522 00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:26,960 Speaker 1: They're never going to buy him out. It's the cheapest 523 00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:29,800 Speaker 1: franchise in the sport. They're not going to buy him out. 524 00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:32,480 Speaker 1: This is why the Bengals are the Bengals. I mean, 525 00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:34,520 Speaker 1: last night, it's a great example. If you take Joe 526 00:27:34,600 --> 00:27:38,560 Speaker 1: Burrow out of this franchise. They can't function. It's just 527 00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:42,320 Speaker 1: a bad franchise with a cheap owner, a small scouting department. 528 00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:45,160 Speaker 1: They don't make deals. They're the opposite of the Eagles. 529 00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:49,880 Speaker 1: They're not well funded, they're risk averse, They're totally dependent 530 00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:52,800 Speaker 1: on their quarterback. They're the opposite of the Eagles. 531 00:27:53,040 --> 00:27:55,119 Speaker 3: Okay, so let me ask you this, Colin. 532 00:27:55,280 --> 00:27:57,280 Speaker 6: If I showed up for the show and I was 533 00:27:57,320 --> 00:27:59,400 Speaker 6: ill prepared and I was fumbling my words and messing 534 00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:02,200 Speaker 6: up everything, like three or four days a week, I 535 00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:04,440 Speaker 6: would not be ready for the show. 536 00:28:04,480 --> 00:28:06,000 Speaker 3: And that's a sign that I'm not locked in. 537 00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:10,200 Speaker 6: That's Zach Taylor every week basically in September for the 538 00:28:10,280 --> 00:28:12,639 Speaker 6: last four years. I'm not even making that up. He 539 00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:15,720 Speaker 6: never comes ready for action, and that, to me is 540 00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:17,760 Speaker 6: a sign that the coaching is just not very good. 541 00:28:17,840 --> 00:28:19,440 Speaker 3: But adjustments. 542 00:28:19,600 --> 00:28:21,560 Speaker 1: He didn't have a lot of experience. I mean, you 543 00:28:21,560 --> 00:28:24,320 Speaker 1: can argue about it. This is the Cincinnati Bengals. They 544 00:28:24,480 --> 00:28:27,719 Speaker 1: just don't. They are cheap. They are a dollar store 545 00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:32,240 Speaker 1: in a in a billion dollar global landscape. They're cheap. 546 00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:35,480 Speaker 1: Look at their scouting department compared to Philadelphia's. I mean, 547 00:28:36,119 --> 00:28:39,000 Speaker 1: the owner thinks he's the GM like it's it's crazy town. 548 00:28:39,920 --> 00:28:41,120 Speaker 1: Jmack with the news. 549 00:28:41,640 --> 00:28:44,560 Speaker 2: Well, that's the news, and thanks for stopping by The 550 00:28:44,640 --> 00:28:45,800 Speaker 2: Herd Line. 551 00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:50,040 Speaker 1: News Herd Hierarchy Top of the Hour, The Raiders at 552 00:28:50,080 --> 00:28:53,880 Speaker 1: the Colts is currently minus six and a half Colts. 553 00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:56,280 Speaker 1: I'm locking that pick in. It's my favorite pick of 554 00:28:56,320 --> 00:28:59,600 Speaker 1: the week. The Colts at home should have beaten the 555 00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:03,000 Speaker 1: ram I think the Cults are really good minus six 556 00:29:03,040 --> 00:29:07,640 Speaker 1: and a half against the Raiders, who uh, just Pete 557 00:29:07,680 --> 00:29:11,040 Speaker 1: Carroll's infatuation with Gino Smith. I'll just never get it 558 00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:15,600 Speaker 1: all right. Major League Baseball is on a heater. Listen 559 00:29:15,600 --> 00:29:19,800 Speaker 1: to this ESPN rading this year.

It worked. That an 564 00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:43,040 Speaker 1: alarming truth happening with Brock Purty. Next. 565 00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:48,240 Speaker 2: Be sure to catch live editions of The Herd Weekdays 566 00:29:48,240 --> 00:29:51,480 Speaker 2: and neon Eastern n AM Pacific for the A.

You got some good ones, 571 00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:10,760 Speaker 1: you got some really good ones. I'm taking the Brewers 572 00:30:10,800 --> 00:30:14,640 Speaker 1: over the Mariners in six. Brewers win the National League, 573 00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:19,280 Speaker 1: Mariners the American League. I'll take the Brewers. Their bullpen 574 00:30:20,280 --> 00:30:24,880 Speaker 1: leads that don'll lose them in six. So this Thursday, 575 00:30:25,120 --> 00:30:28,240 Speaker 1: I would put this game in my blazing five rams 576 00:30:28,520 --> 00:30:31,960 Speaker 1: hosting the Niners. Brock Purty's got a banged up toe 577 00:30:32,520 --> 00:30:36,160 Speaker 1: hurt again. Now we all know how I felt about 578 00:30:36,160 --> 00:30:39,280 Speaker 1: brock Purtty. I think brock Purty did an amazing job. 579 00:30:39,560 --> 00:30:42,880 Speaker 1: But I've said this for years. Don't fall in love 580 00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:47,840 Speaker 1: with stories. There's a difference between stories in reality. Y'all 581 00:30:47,840 --> 00:30:50,840 Speaker 1: fell in love with brock Purty being the last guy drafted. 582 00:30:51,920 --> 00:30:54,040 Speaker 1: But there's a reason he was the last guy drafted. 583 00:30:55,160 --> 00:30:58,400 Speaker 1: He was smaller than you want and reckless. In his 584 00:30:58,600 --> 00:31:02,560 Speaker 1: four years at Iowa State, he led the FBS and 585 00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:08,000 Speaker 1: interceptions the entire sport, one hundred and thirty nine teams. 586 00:31:09,080 --> 00:31:15,120 Speaker 1: He led college football and picks this year picks bad ones. 587 00:31:15,400 --> 00:31:17,200 Speaker 1: You know what bo Nicks did at Oregon is last 588 00:31:17,240 --> 00:31:20,160 Speaker 1: year forty five touchdowns, three picks, he didn't throw any 589 00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:23,200 Speaker 1: of them, and Bonix had five offensive coordinators in the 590 00:31:23,240 --> 00:31:25,920 Speaker 1: four or five years he was in college football. So 591 00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:29,640 Speaker 1: Brock Purty's becoming Brock Purty. He's reckless. He was reckless 592 00:31:29,680 --> 00:31:32,080 Speaker 1: in college. That's why I fell to the last round. 593 00:31:32,840 --> 00:31:37,160 Speaker 1: Since Week seven last season, he has fewer passing touchdowns 594 00:31:37,160 --> 00:31:40,719 Speaker 1: than Russell Wilson, a worse passer rating than Geno Smith, 595 00:31:41,280 --> 00:31:45,000 Speaker 1: and the second most interceptions in football. And since Week 596 00:31:45,040 --> 00:31:47,720 Speaker 1: seven of last year, Donald's got a one h three 597 00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:51,160 Speaker 1: point one passer rating. He's got a ninety Okay, so 598 00:31:51,240 --> 00:31:55,280 Speaker 1: you could it the redemption story of Baker and Donald 599 00:31:55,480 --> 00:32:00,240 Speaker 1: were rooted in talent. Donald's a big, strong, soon super 600 00:32:00,320 --> 00:32:03,760 Speaker 1: athletic quarterback. Baker's got a big time arm and was 601 00:32:03,800 --> 00:32:07,040 Speaker 1: a number one pick. You could have gotten those guys 602 00:32:07,040 --> 00:32:10,560 Speaker 1: for thirty five million a year. Purty's gonna cost you 603 00:32:10,640 --> 00:32:13,920 Speaker 1: fifty three. That's more than Josh Allen's cap hit. What 604 00:32:13,960 --> 00:32:14,520 Speaker 1: are you doing? 605 00:32:15,240 --> 00:32:15,360 Speaker 7: So? 606 00:32:15,440 --> 00:32:19,600 Speaker 1: I look at this with bro Perdy. I like stories too, 607 00:32:19,880 --> 00:32:23,720 Speaker 1: bedtime stories and a warm glass of milk. But you 608 00:32:23,840 --> 00:32:27,480 Speaker 1: fell in love with the story. And Kyle Shanahan kind 609 00:32:27,480 --> 00:32:30,760 Speaker 1: of likes quarterbacks that he can kind of control. Well 610 00:32:30,960 --> 00:32:34,680 Speaker 1: you can, but you watched bon Nix last night. Bonix's 611 00:32:34,760 --> 00:32:38,640 Speaker 1: velocity and his movement. Oh yeah, he's got Sean Payton. 612 00:32:39,360 --> 00:32:42,880 Speaker 1: Bonix is a first round quarterback talent. So's Sam, So's 613 00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:47,520 Speaker 1: Baker's watched the games. You can see it, and it's 614 00:32:47,560 --> 00:32:51,040 Speaker 1: just interesting. The story in San Francisco, they had a 615 00:32:51,120 --> 00:32:54,120 Speaker 1: choice here. It could have been Sam Darnold. He was 616 00:32:54,160 --> 00:32:57,840 Speaker 1: in the building a couple of years ago. So Sam 617 00:32:57,960 --> 00:33:02,760 Speaker 1: Donald has lost only three of his last fourteen starts. 618 00:33:03,840 --> 00:33:06,800 Speaker 1: And Brock pretty since last week last year, Week seven 619 00:33:06,880 --> 00:33:09,719 Speaker 1: is four and seven. I'm not anti brock Pretty, but 620 00:33:09,760 --> 00:33:13,600 Speaker 1: I bang on this all the time. We all like stories. 621 00:33:13,960 --> 00:33:17,200 Speaker 1: Don't fall in love with them. Don't fall in love 622 00:33:17,240 --> 00:33:20,120 Speaker 1: it like they're They're like, oh my god, this is 623 00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:23,240 Speaker 1: it's there's a reason guys fall to the last pick 624 00:33:23,280 --> 00:33:27,840 Speaker 1: in the seventh round. Size mechanics, reckless, there's there's a 625 00:33:27,880 --> 00:33:30,880 Speaker 1: reason for all this stuff, by the way they play 626 00:33:30,920 --> 00:33:34,960 Speaker 1: the Rams and that defense. Thursday, here's Kyle Shanahan on 627 00:33:35,040 --> 00:33:36,760 Speaker 1: Brock Purdy's injury. 628 00:33:38,040 --> 00:33:42,240 Speaker 11: Anytime guys are sore and hurting on a Monday, you 629 00:33:42,320 --> 00:33:44,440 Speaker 11: usually don't stress too much. About it. But when anytime 630 00:33:44,520 --> 00:33:46,640 Speaker 11: you have a Thursday game, it's a totally different element. 631 00:33:46,760 --> 00:33:50,840 Speaker 11: So I'm concerned with anybody who's not totally healthy at 632 00:33:50,880 --> 00:33:53,440 Speaker 11: this moment. But we'll have to get more information on 633 00:33:53,480 --> 00:33:56,240 Speaker 11: that later today to really kind of have a clue 634 00:33:56,400 --> 00:33:57,560 Speaker 11: of what to speculate. 635 00:33:58,520 --> 00:34:03,760 Speaker 1: So let's if you look at the whole redemption story 636 00:34:03,960 --> 00:34:07,600 Speaker 1: this league. One of the most amazing stats about the 637 00:34:07,680 --> 00:34:12,279 Speaker 1: National Football League. Half the players think about this are undrafted. 638 00:34:13,120 --> 00:34:15,680 Speaker 1: And Tonio Gates is a Hall of Famer. He was undrafted. 639 00:34:16,320 --> 00:34:20,200 Speaker 1: I mean, that is happening all over this league. So 640 00:34:20,200 --> 00:34:23,680 Speaker 1: it's amazing. But you can't fall in love with those stories. 641 00:34:23,719 --> 00:34:26,839 Speaker 1: You can fall in like with them, but you pan 642 00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:31,120 Speaker 1: Tonio Gates because by year two, about halfway through it, 643 00:34:31,200 --> 00:34:36,120 Speaker 1: you're like, oh, whoa, this guy's dominant, like Tukinnakua fifth 644 00:34:36,160 --> 00:34:39,600 Speaker 1: round talent. Sometimes you get lucky and some guys fall, 645 00:34:40,239 --> 00:34:42,959 Speaker 1: but there's not a long list of great all time 646 00:34:43,040 --> 00:34:47,200 Speaker 1: quarterbacks in the seventh Now, Kurt Warner his story. You 647 00:34:47,320 --> 00:34:50,960 Speaker 1: got great story and great talent. It does happen. I mean, 648 00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:56,520 Speaker 1: Tony Romo, great story, undrafted, really really special talent. But 649 00:34:56,560 --> 00:35:00,560 Speaker 1: I most of your great court people always say this, Well, 650 00:35:00,600 --> 00:35:03,759 Speaker 1: you can never figure out the NFL. I mean, it's 651 00:35:03,800 --> 00:35:09,319 Speaker 1: such a crap shoot with quarterbacks. Nonsense, that's nonsense. Best 652 00:35:09,400 --> 00:35:12,520 Speaker 1: quarterback in the NFL right now, Mahomes first rounder, Josh 653 00:35:12,600 --> 00:35:16,200 Speaker 1: Allen first rounder, Justin Herbert first rounder, Joe Burrow first rounder. 654 00:35:17,120 --> 00:35:20,160 Speaker 1: They're all first rounders. Jalen Hurts ooh, he fell the second. 655 00:35:20,160 --> 00:35:22,480 Speaker 1: He's also got the best roster in the league. So 656 00:35:22,520 --> 00:35:25,760 Speaker 1: you start look Jared Goff first rounder, Baker first rounder, 657 00:35:25,880 --> 00:35:30,840 Speaker 1: Sam Darnold first rounder, John Elway, Dan Marino, Aaron Rodgers, 658 00:35:31,080 --> 00:35:33,839 Speaker 1: the overwhelming, the great quarterbacks in this league. Of all 659 00:35:33,880 --> 00:35:38,120 Speaker 1: of the first rounders, Kurt Warner is a complete outlier, Brady. 660 00:35:38,840 --> 00:35:41,759 Speaker 1: You know, even Russell Wilson fell. Dak fell. But the 661 00:35:41,800 --> 00:35:44,440 Speaker 1: reason Dak fell is he still doesn't Usually if you 662 00:35:44,440 --> 00:35:46,920 Speaker 1: look at the history of Dak Prescott throw the greatest 663 00:35:46,920 --> 00:35:52,560 Speaker 1: football leadership, toughness iq EQ that's Dak stuff. That's his magic, 664 00:35:53,440 --> 00:35:57,000 Speaker 1: all right. So I said this before the break, it's 665 00:35:57,040 --> 00:36:03,839 Speaker 1: pretty remarkable. Baseball did something that I always appreciate on 666 00:36:03,880 --> 00:36:06,280 Speaker 1: this show. I talk a lot about it. Stop guys 667 00:36:06,360 --> 00:36:12,680 Speaker 1: worry about being right, get it right. Baseball made a 668 00:36:12,719 --> 00:36:15,480 Speaker 1: series of bold necessary moves. The last few years, the 669 00:36:15,560 --> 00:36:17,759 Speaker 1: dad is in. They've all worked. The ratings are up 670 00:36:17,800 --> 00:36:21,560 Speaker 1: for everybody. The games are faster, there's more base runners, 671 00:36:21,560 --> 00:36:25,160 Speaker 1: there's more action, big stars in big cities. Like the NFL, 672 00:36:25,360 --> 00:36:33,200 Speaker 1: Baseball leaned into offense. Okay, universe, universal dh no more pitchers, 673 00:36:33,239 --> 00:36:38,360 Speaker 1: hitting bases are bigger, defensive shift, eliminated torpedo bats, just 674 00:36:38,400 --> 00:36:43,200 Speaker 1: like the NFL. They're rewarding fans and they've shortened the games. 675 00:36:43,400 --> 00:36:49,000 Speaker 1: They actually made a Hollywood pivot. More superheroes in big 676 00:36:49,239 --> 00:36:52,239 Speaker 1: in big blockbuster movies and only a two and a 677 00:36:52,320 --> 00:36:58,160 Speaker 1: half hour runtime. I love ken Burns, but baseball can't 678 00:36:58,160 --> 00:37:02,640 Speaker 1: be a ken Burns Civil War doc where you slowly 679 00:37:02,719 --> 00:37:06,839 Speaker 1: move into a still photo action. Lots of it. Base 680 00:37:06,920 --> 00:37:12,840 Speaker 1: Runners so tonight, Yankees, Red Sox, Dodgers, Reds late today, 681 00:37:12,880 --> 00:37:17,040 Speaker 1: Cubs Padres is the headliner. But I think what baseball did. 682 00:37:17,040 --> 00:37:19,439 Speaker 1: They got out of the indie movie business. They knew 683 00:37:19,440 --> 00:37:21,960 Speaker 1: the centophiles, the movie freaks. They were going to show 684 00:37:22,040 --> 00:37:26,480 Speaker 1: up the baseball traditionalists. They're not going to go anywhere. 685 00:37:28,160 --> 00:37:31,520 Speaker 1: The baseball is part of their summer. They're not going anywhere. 686 00:37:32,040 --> 00:37:37,279 Speaker 1: Do not play to traditionalists in any industry. Get out 687 00:37:37,280 --> 00:37:42,680 Speaker 1: of the wonky politics, crime, border economy. That's what won 688 00:37:42,800 --> 00:37:46,520 Speaker 1: it for Trump. Stay to the stuff most people care about. 689 00:37:47,200 --> 00:37:52,320 Speaker 1: And in baseball, more base runners, more action, big stars, 690 00:37:52,920 --> 00:37:57,120 Speaker 1: big markets shorten the games. It's all worked. The data 691 00:37:57,160 --> 00:38:02,399 Speaker 1: is in and again this whole fear of the big 692 00:38:02,440 --> 00:38:06,640 Speaker 1: markets dominate. Milwaukee's the best team in baseball. Milwaukee led baseball. 693 00:38:06,640 --> 00:38:09,480 Speaker 1: There's so many ways to win in baseball. Now, Toronto 694 00:38:09,600 --> 00:38:13,239 Speaker 1: and Milwaukee your top seeds. They hit home runs, but 695 00:38:13,280 --> 00:38:17,280 Speaker 1: they led baseball in singles obviously, the Yankees and the Dodgers. 696 00:38:17,360 --> 00:38:21,439 Speaker 1: It's home runs. San Diego, big sticks, great bullpen, same 697 00:38:21,480 --> 00:38:26,000 Speaker 1: with Milwaukee, Seattle Dodgers. I think I saw a stat. 698 00:38:26,520 --> 00:38:28,080 Speaker 1: I don't think you can win a World Series with 699 00:38:28,120 --> 00:38:31,000 Speaker 1: a bad bullpen. I think I saw a stat that 700 00:38:31,040 --> 00:38:37,479 Speaker 1: the Dodgers blew twenty six save opportunities. If you watch 701 00:38:37,520 --> 00:38:39,480 Speaker 1: the Dodgers this year, they led a lot of games 702 00:38:39,480 --> 00:38:42,319 Speaker 1: in the eighth inning twenty six times they lost it. 703 00:38:42,840 --> 00:38:45,560 Speaker 1: So what I think is fascinating is the Dodgers have 704 00:38:45,719 --> 00:38:48,520 Speaker 1: the best roster and great offense, and they hit a 705 00:38:48,560 --> 00:38:50,839 Speaker 1: bunch of home runs, which matters in baseball. You got 706 00:38:50,880 --> 00:38:53,360 Speaker 1: to score quickly. You can't. You're facing the best pitching 707 00:38:53,400 --> 00:38:57,080 Speaker 1: staffs and the best bullpens. You can't manufacture every run. 708 00:38:57,120 --> 00:38:59,560 Speaker 1: You're not going to get four straight hits. You got 709 00:38:59,560 --> 00:39:04,080 Speaker 1: to hit. So that benefits the Dodgers and the Yankees greatly. 710 00:39:04,719 --> 00:39:08,600 Speaker 1: But they got a bad bullpen and uh can't wait. 711 00:39:08,719 --> 00:39:13,279 Speaker 1: Starts tonight, heard Hierarchy top of next hour. J Mac, 712 00:39:13,600 --> 00:39:15,359 Speaker 1: you have not only had a bad couple of weeks 713 00:39:15,400 --> 00:39:17,640 Speaker 1: of betting the Brock pretty thing. I know stings a 714 00:39:17,640 --> 00:39:22,279 Speaker 1: little bit for you, Yes, yes, but will you I 715 00:39:22,320 --> 00:39:25,799 Speaker 1: think here's a more troubling thing. Is that and is 716 00:39:25,880 --> 00:39:30,480 Speaker 1: that availability matters when two has signed the extension. My 717 00:39:30,600 --> 00:39:35,160 Speaker 1: take was, guys, Josh Allen doesn't get hurt, Patrick Mahomes 718 00:39:35,200 --> 00:39:38,200 Speaker 1: doesn't get hurt. Farv didn't get hurt. Two has hurt 719 00:39:38,200 --> 00:39:42,200 Speaker 1: a lot. I'm not saying major injuries, but Brock is 720 00:39:42,320 --> 00:39:46,719 Speaker 1: again banged up and unable to play last week. I 721 00:39:46,760 --> 00:39:49,800 Speaker 1: think it was fairly obvious he was not right. Doesn't 722 00:39:49,800 --> 00:39:53,359 Speaker 1: that worry you a little bit as a smaller quarterback, Not. 723 00:39:53,840 --> 00:39:55,320 Speaker 3: Really, because he's outstanding. 724 00:39:55,360 --> 00:39:58,360 Speaker 6: Okay, So first of all, Number one, I know you 725 00:39:58,400 --> 00:40:01,320 Speaker 6: had some stats on Brock struggling with interceptions in college. 726 00:40:01,719 --> 00:40:04,600 Speaker 6: Just as a reminder, Jordan Love led Division One in 727 00:40:04,600 --> 00:40:08,800 Speaker 6: interceptions in college. So for Jordan Love, it's hey fling it, 728 00:40:08,920 --> 00:40:10,880 Speaker 6: no risk it, no biscuit. He's got far of But 729 00:40:10,920 --> 00:40:12,200 Speaker 6: when Purdy does it, it's like. 730 00:40:12,120 --> 00:40:16,600 Speaker 1: Okay, remember, okay, contextualize it. Jordan Love's big with a 731 00:40:16,719 --> 00:40:20,840 Speaker 1: huge arm, and he's a world class athlete. Brought perty 732 00:40:21,000 --> 00:40:25,880 Speaker 1: small okay, arm, average athletically, Jordan loves trait. When I 733 00:40:25,880 --> 00:40:28,719 Speaker 1: talk to GMS, it's all about traits. I mean Briy. 734 00:40:29,080 --> 00:40:31,799 Speaker 1: If you go back to Bryce Young, the concern is 735 00:40:31,880 --> 00:40:35,360 Speaker 1: small and spindly. But he won a ton in college. 736 00:40:35,440 --> 00:40:37,600 Speaker 1: Josh Allen didn't, but they were like, he's six six, 737 00:40:37,680 --> 00:40:40,680 Speaker 1: two fifty with a huge arm. NFL quarterbacks don't care 738 00:40:40,719 --> 00:40:43,520 Speaker 1: about stats as much as they care about traits. Jordan 739 00:40:43,600 --> 00:40:46,919 Speaker 1: Love is big, athletic with a whip. That dude's got 740 00:40:46,920 --> 00:40:47,800 Speaker 1: a arm. 741 00:40:47,719 --> 00:40:50,439 Speaker 6: Of his big ye he's a large quarterback. He lost 742 00:40:50,480 --> 00:40:52,040 Speaker 6: them in the game against the Browns, but not anyways, 743 00:40:52,600 --> 00:40:55,440 Speaker 6: real quick on the two Brock picks, So one was 744 00:40:55,520 --> 00:40:58,080 Speaker 6: tipped by a defensive tackle, maybe because Brock is small, 745 00:40:58,280 --> 00:41:01,520 Speaker 6: and the other was because Christian McCaffrey juggled it and 746 00:41:01,520 --> 00:41:04,120 Speaker 6: it went into the arms of a Jacksonville defender. I 747 00:41:04,160 --> 00:41:06,000 Speaker 6: know the fumble was on Brock, but I think you're 748 00:41:06,000 --> 00:41:08,480 Speaker 6: going a little overboard on a guy coming back from 749 00:41:08,520 --> 00:41:12,040 Speaker 6: shoulder and tow injuries and missing a bunch of dudes. 750 00:41:12,840 --> 00:41:14,920 Speaker 3: I know you're waiting for Rock to screw. 751 00:41:14,680 --> 00:41:18,319 Speaker 1: Up, but Jordan Love is six' four with he's been 752 00:41:18,680 --> 00:41:22,240 Speaker 1: ten and a half inch. Hands Brock purty is six 753 00:41:22,280 --> 00:41:24,920 Speaker 1: feet tall with nine and a quarter hand. Size and 754 00:41:24,960 --> 00:41:27,400 Speaker 1: that matters TO gms because when the ball gets, wet, 755 00:41:27,719 --> 00:41:32,240 Speaker 1: yep and that Brock purty has struggled when it's, overcast. 756 00:41:33,520 --> 00:41:33,680 Speaker 7: All. 757 00:41:33,760 --> 00:41:37,080 Speaker 1: Right Herd hierarchy top of hour, two And Nick wright, 758 00:41:37,160 --> 00:41:39,600 Speaker 1: too
