1
00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:09,879
Speaker 1: This is straight Fire with Jason McIntyre.

2
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:14,600
Speaker 2: What is up straight Fire, fam, It's me Jason McIntyre.

3
00:00:14,720 --> 00:00:21,319
Speaker 2: Straight Fire for Tuesday, January twenty first, congratulations are in

4
00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:25,919
Speaker 2: order for the Ohio State Buck guys who rolled to

5
00:00:25,960 --> 00:00:29,560
Speaker 2: the national championship. Notre Dame had a great opening drive.

6
00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:31,120
Speaker 2: They put up a little bit of a fight in

7
00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:33,560
Speaker 2: the fourth quarter, but it was really never in dowbt

8
00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:37,839
Speaker 2: Ohio State thirty four Notre Dame twenty three. We'll obviously

9
00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:39,720
Speaker 2: get to the game shortly. I do want to say this,

10
00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:42,560
Speaker 2: Ben Johnson to the Bears news that caught me off guard.

11
00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:45,239
Speaker 2: I was absolutely stunned by that. So we will talk

12
00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:46,879
Speaker 2: about that at the end of the podcast, but we

13
00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:51,040
Speaker 2: obviously have to open with the natty. I don't know, guys,

14
00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:55,960
Speaker 2: nobody thought that Notre Dame legitimately had a chance. Any

15
00:00:56,040 --> 00:00:59,360
Speaker 2: Nobody who was outside of like Notre Dame University, a

16
00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:03,760
Speaker 2: former player, Notre Dame grat nobody really thought that they

17
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:06,720
Speaker 2: had a chance. That opening drive, though, was hell of impressive.

18
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:09,120
Speaker 2: I mean, Riley Leonard, it was like a nine minute

19
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:13,200
Speaker 2: drive was like seventeen plays. It's just a ridiculous effort

20
00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:16,120
Speaker 2: from the Irish. It looked good and then it kind

21
00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:18,839
Speaker 2: of fell apart. I mean, actually, I'm sorry. Eighteen plays,

22
00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:22,080
Speaker 2: seventy five yards, nine minutes and forty five seconds, and

23
00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:24,720
Speaker 2: then Riley Leonard after he scores the touchdown, you could

24
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:28,199
Speaker 2: see him like, oh my gosh, that was exhausting. I mean,

25
00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:31,560
Speaker 2: for asking your quarterback to go up the middle eight

26
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:34,920
Speaker 2: or nine times with no long carries. It was all

27
00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:37,759
Speaker 2: like three yards in the cloud of dust. He looked drained.

28
00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:41,279
Speaker 2: And then the sideline reporters said that after the first drive,

29
00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:46,160
Speaker 2: Riley Leonard came off the field and vomited, And at

30
00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:48,800
Speaker 2: that point you were like, all right, noted it. That

31
00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:52,000
Speaker 2: was that was fun. And then Ohio State comes down,

32
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:54,240
Speaker 2: bing bang boom. They scored noted in three and out

33
00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:57,160
Speaker 2: Ohio State scores again, Notre Dame three and out Ohio

34
00:01:57,160 --> 00:01:59,080
Speaker 2: State scores again. At twenty one seven. It was like,

35
00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:02,960
Speaker 2: that's a wrap, no doubt. So if you put Ohio

36
00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:05,480
Speaker 2: State in teasers with NFL either last weekend or this

37
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:09,160
Speaker 2: coming weekend, you're in the clear. Ohio State covers the

38
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:12,760
Speaker 2: number favorites really cleaned up in this college football playoff.

39
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:16,840
Speaker 2: Oh my, did they. We could break down the players

40
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:21,520
Speaker 2: and especially the quarterbacks here shortly, but I just want

41
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:23,400
Speaker 2: to give a quick shout out to the Buckeyes. I mean,

42
00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:27,359
Speaker 2: they built an incredible team, and I think I've talked

43
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:31,079
Speaker 2: about this on the pod. Sometimes things have to happen

44
00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:33,200
Speaker 2: for you to get to where you want to be,

45
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:36,160
Speaker 2: even if it's a not great thing, and that loss

46
00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:38,320
Speaker 2: to Michigan was the best thing that happened to Ohio

47
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:40,440
Speaker 2: State at the moment. At the time, you know what,

48
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:43,960
Speaker 2: twenty point favorites, you lose, It's like, oh my gosh,

49
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:46,600
Speaker 2: what an embarrassment. That's terrible. Ryan Day, you got a

50
00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:49,079
Speaker 2: fire and blah blah blah. They just needed that wake

51
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:51,560
Speaker 2: up call. You know. It sucks that it came to that,

52
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:55,320
Speaker 2: having to lose to your rival when you're favored by

53
00:02:55,919 --> 00:03:00,120
Speaker 2: a billion points, but they needed that loss. And who

54
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:02,800
Speaker 2: totally changed everything about this team. They came into the

55
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:08,640
Speaker 2: playoff rested with a brand new outlook, an offensive identity

56
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:11,800
Speaker 2: of pass first as opposed to run first, and like

57
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:14,400
Speaker 2: establish the run and we want to win the line

58
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:16,720
Speaker 2: of scrimmage. Uh. Will Howard just dropped back and just

59
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:23,440
Speaker 2: picked teams apart. Jeremiah Smith, Abuca, this kid, Carnell Taate

60
00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:25,440
Speaker 2: and then you could toss it in the running backs

61
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:28,920
Speaker 2: like there were a juggernaut. I'm not saying they're as

62
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:34,360
Speaker 2: great as that Miami Hurricanes team that was ridiculously loaded

63
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:37,920
Speaker 2: from the early two thousands. I don't think they're as

64
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:43,840
Speaker 2: stacked as that FSU team that rolled to the national championship.

65
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:46,520
Speaker 2: And I believe one of the great stats that of

66
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:48,960
Speaker 2: college football that I've ever seen is all twenty two

67
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:52,680
Speaker 2: of their offensive and defensive starters got some kind of

68
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:54,280
Speaker 2: cup of coffee in the NFL, whether it was a

69
00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:59,480
Speaker 2: practice squad or what have you. Everybody from that offensive

70
00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:01,960
Speaker 2: defense made the NFL, which that team was so stacked

71
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:06,120
Speaker 2: Jameis Winston team, but I think Ohio State like this is.

72
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:08,920
Speaker 2: You look at this team, they're probably gonna have like

73
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:14,760
Speaker 2: fifteen sixteen guys drafted. I mean, I love JTT. I

74
00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:18,200
Speaker 2: obviously really really like Jack Sawyer. Who doesn't The kid

75
00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:20,039
Speaker 2: Denzel Burke was thought to be a first round pick.

76
00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:23,960
Speaker 2: He has not been amazing since then. But the kid

77
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:26,520
Speaker 2: Caleb Downs is good when he's draft eligible. Oh he's

78
00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:29,000
Speaker 2: gonna go high. He's just super talented. And then you

79
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:31,360
Speaker 2: know the offensive skill position guys. I did a mock

80
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:35,120
Speaker 2: draft for Fox Sports Friday. I had Sawyer going thirty

81
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:37,200
Speaker 2: two to the Lions. Does he not feel like a

82
00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:40,600
Speaker 2: Detroit Lion like Dan Campbell kneecaps Jack Sawyer. I mean,

83
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:43,880
Speaker 2: it feels like a perfect fit. I think Trevion Henderson, now,

84
00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:47,800
Speaker 2: he didn't pop in the Natty the way Jenkins did.

85
00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:50,160
Speaker 2: The running back transfer from I believe Old miss or

86
00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:53,520
Speaker 2: Mississippi State one of those. Yeah, the seventy yard touchdown run.

87
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:55,800
Speaker 2: Henderson was kind of sort of bottled up. They didn't

88
00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:57,480
Speaker 2: really use him in the past game. But I think

89
00:04:57,600 --> 00:04:59,920
Speaker 2: because of his speed. I mean, he had that elect

90
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:03,160
Speaker 2: trifying screen pass to the house against Texas. I think

91
00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:05,120
Speaker 2: Henderson's a pro. I had him first round. I don't

92
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:07,719
Speaker 2: know if he's gonna go first round. But Ohio State

93
00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:14,040
Speaker 2: is just ridiculously loaded. This just an outstanding team. I

94
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:16,960
Speaker 2: listen Ryan Day and Chip Kelly. If I'm the Jacksonville

95
00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:20,720
Speaker 2: Jaguars and I watch that, how do you not call

96
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:22,720
Speaker 2: Ryan Day and say, hey, man, do you and Chip

97
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:26,039
Speaker 2: want to come down to Jacksonville. Now it's not gonna

98
00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:29,360
Speaker 2: happen because they just whiffed badly on Urban Meyer two

99
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:31,080
Speaker 2: coaches ago. So they're not going to go back to

100
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:33,080
Speaker 2: the Ohio State. Well, but I'm just telling you guys

101
00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:35,479
Speaker 2: watching Day in chip Kelly, like what do they have

102
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:37,720
Speaker 2: left to prove at Ohio State? And please don't say

103
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:40,680
Speaker 2: beat Michigan. I just again, I get it the Ohio

104
00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:43,120
Speaker 2: State fans you gotta beat Michigan. I get it. You

105
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:46,159
Speaker 2: hate them, but like, step back and get a little

106
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:50,480
Speaker 2: perspective and be like bro. We had Dan Wilkin on

107
00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:53,080
Speaker 2: the podcast last week and he was saying, how like

108
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:57,000
Speaker 2: Ryan Day's daughter plays volleyball and they're chanting fire Ryan

109
00:05:57,080 --> 00:05:59,320
Speaker 2: Day at her volleyball games, Like who needs that crap?

110
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:02,960
Speaker 2: You know, just because you lost to Michigan, you won

111
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:06,440
Speaker 2: the national championship. Like, I don't know. I'm just floored

112
00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:08,720
Speaker 2: by this. And maybe I don't get the passion if

113
00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:12,440
Speaker 2: you will, it's sports, guys, I don't get it. So

114
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:15,160
Speaker 2: if I'm Ryan Day and chip Kelly as a package

115
00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:17,920
Speaker 2: deal going anyway, they just looked that that team looked

116
00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:20,400
Speaker 2: amazing in the playoffs, just a spectacular run. I do

117
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:25,279
Speaker 2: want to talk about Will Howard briefly, so as Will

118
00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:27,920
Speaker 2: Howard's carving up Notre Dame. I think he started fourteen

119
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:31,520
Speaker 2: for fourteen. He finished seventeen or twenty one, two thirty one,

120
00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:35,360
Speaker 2: two touchdowns, eleven yards per attempt. He looked pretty damn good.

121
00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:40,040
Speaker 2: Six four two thirty five scrambling well. He had sixteen

122
00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:43,560
Speaker 2: carries for fifty seven yards. You watch him and you're like, oh,

123
00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:46,560
Speaker 2: wait a minute, who whoa whoa. Now, Now forget the

124
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:50,839
Speaker 2: Oregon game, that Oregon debacle early in the season, forget

125
00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:52,400
Speaker 2: the Michigan game where he may or may not have

126
00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:56,839
Speaker 2: been concussed. You stripped those two out, and you're like, wow, Okay,

127
00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:59,880
Speaker 2: this guy was at Kansas State. Now he's at Ohio State.

128
00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:03,240
Speaker 2: What do we have with Will Howard? Is this guy

129
00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:07,520
Speaker 2: a pro prospect? And I opened up social media and

130
00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:10,000
Speaker 2: I see all these people, Wow, Will Howard. He might

131
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:12,480
Speaker 2: be a first route pick. I don't know, and I'm like, whoa, whoa, whoa,

132
00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:18,160
Speaker 2: whoa whoa. So he's twenty three now he'll be twenty four,

133
00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:23,000
Speaker 2: like Week three next season. Okay, this guy's been playing

134
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:27,400
Speaker 2: college football forever. He graduated high school. I don't know,

135
00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:32,000
Speaker 2: two thy twenty. It looks like he joined Kansas State

136
00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:35,320
Speaker 2: as an early enroly. In January twenty twenty, he was

137
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:38,120
Speaker 2: the backup to Skyler Thompson, who's been with the Miami Dolphins.

138
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:42,160
Speaker 2: Down for a minute, Will Howard has started looks like

139
00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:48,080
Speaker 2: forty two college football games, and obviously he looked amazing

140
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:51,000
Speaker 2: at Ohio State. Now people were drawing the parallel to

141
00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:54,280
Speaker 2: and again they're not going overboard. Hey, Joe Burrow couldn't

142
00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:57,120
Speaker 2: crack the quarterback room at Ohio State. Then he goes

143
00:07:57,160 --> 00:08:00,880
Speaker 2: to LSU, was mediocre for a year and then popped

144
00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:04,880
Speaker 2: and he had a stack deck with Justin Jefferson, Jamar Chase, Blase,

145
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:08,680
Speaker 2: Blase Blase. And people are trying to draw the parallel. Well,

146
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:12,400
Speaker 2: that Will Howard's got a loaded offense. Why can't he

147
00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:14,440
Speaker 2: be a first rump pick? And I'm like, let's just

148
00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:16,800
Speaker 2: slow down, Okay, let's just pump the brakes for a

149
00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:17,200
Speaker 2: little bit.

Speaker 2: Burrow had, when you look at his numbers, arguably the

156
00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:41,120
Speaker 2: greatest college football season any quarterback has ever had. He

157
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:47,160
Speaker 2: put up astronomical numbers. Okay, insane stuff. And I'm not

158
00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:49,080
Speaker 2: saying Will Howard could not have done that if they

159
00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:50,800
Speaker 2: ran the ball more or you know, called off the

160
00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:54,160
Speaker 2: dogs against you know, Maryland and Minnesota or what have you.

161
00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:59,480
Speaker 2: But let's just let's chill with Will Howard as a

162
00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:03,199
Speaker 2: first trump. Yes, it is certainly interesting. He deserves a

163
00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:06,000
Speaker 2: closer look after this playoff run. Maybe it just took

164
00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:09,480
Speaker 2: a while to click in the Chip Kelly offense. He

165
00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:15,680
Speaker 2: by all accounts good kid, academically strong, but this is

166
00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:18,520
Speaker 2: not a guy who had to go through multiple progressions

167
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:23,920
Speaker 2: and struggle to like throw guys open and battle really

168
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:29,160
Speaker 2: difficult zone defenses. I mean he was out there basically

169
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:33,840
Speaker 2: dropped back and oh, I'm throwing to maybe the best

170
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:40,080
Speaker 2: NFL prospect at receivers since Randy moss In. Jeremiah Smith Abuka,

171
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:41,760
Speaker 2: I think is a first round pick. I had him

172
00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:45,080
Speaker 2: in the twenties in my mock draft. Like it's those

173
00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:47,480
Speaker 2: guys are getting open all over the place, it didn't

174
00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:49,640
Speaker 2: matter who they were facing. And then I'm handing off

175
00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:51,640
Speaker 2: to two running backs who were definitely going to be drafted,

176
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:54,400
Speaker 2: Like I got an offensive line. That's pretty damn good.

177
00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:57,640
Speaker 2: Everything lined up for Howard. I'm not saying he's nothing.

178
00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:00,920
Speaker 2: I just I don't know. I don't think there's any

179
00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:03,920
Speaker 2: way he's in the cam word class or shoulder. I

180
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:05,840
Speaker 2: know Jalen Molroe did not look good at times, but

181
00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:09,600
Speaker 2: I think we're going overboard just a little on Howard.

182
00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:12,160
Speaker 2: I do think, yeah, he will get drafted. You know,

183
00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:15,640
Speaker 2: maybe he's a third, fourth, fifth round pick and somebody's

184
00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:18,160
Speaker 2: intrigued by him. You know, if you pair him with

185
00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:21,200
Speaker 2: Kevin O'Connell or Sean McVay, then yeah, I think anything's possible.

186
00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:23,920
Speaker 2: But there's only like six of those offensive mines where

187
00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:27,240
Speaker 2: anything's possible if you don't have a quarterback like the

188
00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:29,640
Speaker 2: Jets and you go and hire Aaron Glenn, which it

189
00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:32,440
Speaker 2: seems like it's trending that way. I don't know. I

190
00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:34,600
Speaker 2: don't have any hope for like you go to the Jets, like,

191
00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:37,840
Speaker 2: I don't think it's gonna go well, you know, Aaron Rodgers,

192
00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:40,720
Speaker 2: good luck with that. So I like Howard, I just

193
00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:43,200
Speaker 2: I don't. I think it's a little premature to say,

194
00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:45,719
Speaker 2: hey man, he was great on the big stage and

195
00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:47,800
Speaker 2: a lot of people are parachuting into college football and

196
00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:50,400
Speaker 2: just watching the playoff. They didn't watch all season. Howard

197
00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:53,200
Speaker 2: was good, he was not great. Then again, yes, I

198
00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:56,880
Speaker 2: know Brock Purdy was good, not great his final two

199
00:10:56,960 --> 00:11:01,800
Speaker 2: years at Iowa State, and so yes, people can mature

200
00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:06,080
Speaker 2: and growth is not linear. Sometimes it's a windy road.

201
00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:10,280
Speaker 2: And sure Howard could pop if he lands with Kyle Shanahan.

202
00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:14,040
Speaker 2: I mean hasn't almost everyone, with the exception of Trey

203
00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:16,319
Speaker 2: Lahan's pop with Kyle Shanahan. So yeah, if he goes

204
00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:18,280
Speaker 2: to the right spot, I do think will Howard. I

205
00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:20,200
Speaker 2: just I don't see first or second round pick. As

206
00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:23,000
Speaker 2: for Riley Leonard, I don't know. I mean, I know this,

207
00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:26,200
Speaker 2: the stats were a little inflated. Twenty two thirty one

208
00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:29,520
Speaker 2: two fifty five, two touchdowns. I mean they're down three

209
00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:32,080
Speaker 2: scores most of the second half. At one point, I

210
00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:34,960
Speaker 2: think it was thirty one seven, and so you know,

211
00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:37,720
Speaker 2: he's just yeah, I was thirty one seven. And then

212
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:39,760
Speaker 2: he gets the Great House touchdown. By the way, I

213
00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:42,440
Speaker 2: had any time touchdown for a great House, which plus

214
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:46,720
Speaker 2: four thirty five, which offset some other losses. That that

215
00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:49,640
Speaker 2: was the kid Great Hoouse is not bad and he

216
00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:53,840
Speaker 2: just you're chucking every play, and so yeah, he added

217
00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:56,240
Speaker 2: some stats when Ohio State was kind of sort of

218
00:11:56,280 --> 00:12:00,320
Speaker 2: in prevent mode. I'm not as big on Riley Leonard

219
00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:03,080
Speaker 2: is everyone else, you know. I don't see Josh Allen.

220
00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:06,000
Speaker 2: I had liked him. The more you see, the less

221
00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:08,920
Speaker 2: there really is to like. In my opinion. I will

222
00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:11,680
Speaker 2: give Marcus Freeman, who I think should be in line

223
00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:14,439
Speaker 2: to coach the Bears the Jets, whoever he is awesome.

224
00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:19,200
Speaker 2: I will say I did not like down sixteen attempting

225
00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:22,760
Speaker 2: a field goal in the fourth quarter. Let me just

226
00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:25,120
Speaker 2: quickly set the stage in case you happen to miss this.

227
00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:30,079
Speaker 2: There were eleven ten minutes left. No, it was even

228
00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:32,920
Speaker 2: less than that. It was nine minutes left, fourth and

229
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:35,800
Speaker 2: goal from the nine, and they kick a twenty seven

230
00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:38,520
Speaker 2: yard field goal. It hits the upright, Even if it

231
00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:42,280
Speaker 2: goes in, you're making a two score game. Down sixteen

232
00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:45,679
Speaker 2: to thirteen, still a two score game. I didn't get

233
00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:47,679
Speaker 2: that at all. It made no sense. I don't know

234
00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:51,360
Speaker 2: why Freeman did it. I would you just go for

235
00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:55,599
Speaker 2: the touchdout there you're down sixteen. So a little disappointing

236
00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:59,679
Speaker 2: there for Freeman, But otherwise I think his era is

237
00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:05,240
Speaker 2: pointing way way up and overall. Listen, national championships historically

238
00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:07,360
Speaker 2: have been dominated by the favorites, and we saw that

239
00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:09,920
Speaker 2: again in the last I think it's five years favorites

240
00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:13,840
Speaker 2: have won and covered pretty much no sweat. So congrats

241
00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:16,680
Speaker 2: to the Buckeyes that If you guys remember in August,

242
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:18,480
Speaker 2: I said I went to Vegas to sign up for

243
00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:21,600
Speaker 2: the contest and I had one futures bet Ohio State

244
00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:24,240
Speaker 2: wins the national championship, and I will have to dig

245
00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:27,559
Speaker 2: up that ticket, and then I'll have to go to Vegas,

246
00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:31,559
Speaker 2: hopefully soon and cash that ticket. I have looked at

247
00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:37,560
Speaker 2: some of these early twenty twenty six college football playoff odds.

248
00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:40,400
Speaker 2: Arch Manning is going to have everybody betting on Texas.

249
00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:42,040
Speaker 2: But I don't know. If you guys saw Texas lost

250
00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:45,080
Speaker 2: a billion, guys, I don't know that I'd be laying

251
00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:48,760
Speaker 2: out Texas. I do think Penn State is really intriguing.

252
00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:51,120
Speaker 2: Both their running backs are back, the quarterback is back.

253
00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:54,240
Speaker 2: I think they're gonna be interesting. Let's see what happens

254
00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:56,800
Speaker 2: with the transfer portal, what Oregon does at quarterback, what

255
00:13:56,880 --> 00:14:01,280
Speaker 2: Notre Dame does at quarterback. Ohio State is losing. I

256
00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:04,040
Speaker 2: think everybody but Jeremiah Smith is backs and you know

257
00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:09,280
Speaker 2: they just reload. I gotta be honest, I don't understand

258
00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:13,120
Speaker 2: this grit h Garrett nusmeyerhype. Maybe I missed something. I

259
00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:15,600
Speaker 2: watched them a few times this season. I saw, okay,

260
00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:22,400
Speaker 2: big arm. I don't know, guys, I was unimpressed, but hey,

261
00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:25,760
Speaker 2: like I said, people can mature and improve. I would

262
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:29,120
Speaker 2: be intrigued by what Carson Beck does at Miami next year.

263
00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:33,600
Speaker 2: I'm obviously interested in Michigan always. They are a fascinating team.

264
00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:36,400
Speaker 2: We know they load up. That bolwin they had over

265
00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:38,520
Speaker 2: Alabama was pretty impressive and they got a big time

266
00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:43,000
Speaker 2: quarterback coming in, so we'll see. So the favorites are

267
00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:49,280
Speaker 2: Texas fall by, Ohio State, Georgia, Oregon, Oregon, Penn State,

268
00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:53,800
Speaker 2: Alabama thirteen hundred, Notre Dame at fifteen hundred, Tennessee their

269
00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:56,280
Speaker 2: quarterbacks back. A lot of it has to do, obviously

270
00:14:56,280 --> 00:14:58,840
Speaker 2: with quarterback and the portal. So in the coming weeks,

271
00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:01,320
Speaker 2: I think we'll have to get a better idea of

272
00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:03,880
Speaker 2: what happened in the portal and how that felt shakes out,

273
00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:06,760
Speaker 2: and that we can lay some off season. But again,

274
00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:08,720
Speaker 2: I'm not one to lay like five hundred bucks on

275
00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:12,080
Speaker 2: futures and tie that up for a calendar year like

276
00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:15,200
Speaker 2: that's just that's that's not how I operate. Although to

277
00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:17,720
Speaker 2: some five hundred bucks is nothing. To me, it's something,

278
00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:22,760
Speaker 2: all right, Let's quickly pivot to I was gonna do

279
00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:24,960
Speaker 2: an NBA time. I'm gonna wait for I think Rob's

280
00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:29,480
Speaker 2: in tomorrow, so we'll do a little more NBA. I

281
00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:35,240
Speaker 2: did see the Warriors just got pummeled by I think forty. Jeez,

282
00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:39,160
Speaker 2: they're bad. My hottest take for Fox they asked for

283
00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:41,960
Speaker 2: like your twenty twenty five hot takes, and my number

284
00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:44,320
Speaker 2: one was the Warriors missed the playoffs. Is Steph Curry

285
00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:47,440
Speaker 2: asked for a trade? I don't think that's gonna I

286
00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:49,480
Speaker 2: think missing the playoffs is in line. But it doesn't

287
00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:51,200
Speaker 2: sound like Curry wants a trade. It sounds like in

288
00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:54,360
Speaker 2: the offseason he wants them to make a move on somebody.

289
00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:59,360
Speaker 2: Whoever's the disgruntled star. We'll see. We'll do plenty of

290
00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:02,160
Speaker 2: NBA here. No other college football is done, but let's

291
00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:02,840
Speaker 2: go to the NFL.

296
00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:20,040
Speaker 2: I was wondering, I think yesterday on the pod and

297
00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:26,120
Speaker 2: certainly on social media, Hey, what is this Eddie George

298
00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:29,280
Speaker 2: interview stuff? Why are the hell of the Bears interviewing

299
00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:32,680
Speaker 2: Eddie George? And everybody knows there's the Rooney Rule and

300
00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:36,320
Speaker 2: you've got to satisfy the Rooney Rule. I was like, okay, yeah,

301
00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:40,520
Speaker 2: well I thought they interviewed other African American coaches. The

302
00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:44,320
Speaker 2: Bears have had a coaching opening since freakin' November. I

303
00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:47,840
Speaker 2: think it was Thanksgiving weekend. And you're telling me only

304
00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:53,640
Speaker 2: now you're interviewing a Rooney Rule guy or a second

305
00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:57,160
Speaker 2: Rooney Rule guy. Well, it was all I guess they

306
00:16:57,200 --> 00:17:01,200
Speaker 2: had an idea. As soon as Benji Johnson was eliminated

307
00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:06,040
Speaker 2: Saturday night, they scrambled to find another coach to satisfy

308
00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:10,080
Speaker 2: the Rooney rule. Enter Eddie George, and then they moved

309
00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:15,119
Speaker 2: very quickly Monday to lock up Ben Johnson, the creative

310
00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:19,520
Speaker 2: mind from the Detroit Lions, to be their next head coach. Now,

311
00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:23,560
Speaker 2: this is where it gets really interesting. If you remember

312
00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:27,800
Speaker 2: last year, flashback to a year ago, Ben Johnson was

313
00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:30,840
Speaker 2: interviewing for the Washington job. He jumped on a private

314
00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:35,480
Speaker 2: jet that Washington's Josh Harris sent him. In mid air,

315
00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:40,360
Speaker 2: Ben Johnson determined, I don't want this. I don't want

316
00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:42,480
Speaker 2: to interview. I want to return to Detroit. We've got

317
00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:44,920
Speaker 2: unfinished business. And so he said no, thank you, and

318
00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:46,720
Speaker 2: they end up with Dan Quinn. They are now in

319
00:17:46,760 --> 00:17:53,280
Speaker 2: the NFC Championship Game. Ben Johnson stays with the Detroit Lions. Okay,

320
00:17:53,600 --> 00:18:00,000
Speaker 2: they were amazing fifteen to two season. Postseason was a letdown,

321
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:03,679
Speaker 2: not really his fault, but it was a surprise that

322
00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:06,440
Speaker 2: Ben Johnson was all of a sudden available Saturday night.

323
00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:09,479
Speaker 2: I'm personally surprised that everybody didn't scramble to make him

324
00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:13,440
Speaker 2: an offer. Raiders, Jags, Saints, Jets, whoever. Now, obviously he's

325
00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:16,119
Speaker 2: not gonna want to go just anywhere. But the report

326
00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:19,399
Speaker 2: about a month ago was, hey, Ben Johnson wants to

327
00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:22,600
Speaker 2: go here, there, anywhere. And oh, by the way, he's

328
00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:25,640
Speaker 2: got his GM choice, this guy who he's known, who

329
00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:29,800
Speaker 2: ended up in Washington. And this is where it gets

330
00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:36,360
Speaker 2: real interesting. The Raiders dumped Tom to LESCo under the

331
00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:38,680
Speaker 2: impression that hey, if we get Ben Johnson, we offer

332
00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:42,040
Speaker 2: him as GM guy, there you go. We could get

333
00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:44,919
Speaker 2: both of them. So many including myself, thought, oh, the

334
00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:46,960
Speaker 2: Raiders will get Ben Johnson. That's a hell of a

335
00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:48,640
Speaker 2: good get. Now you just got to find a quarterback.

336
00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:52,280
Speaker 2: But what it appears is Ben Johnson wanted nothing to

337
00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:54,760
Speaker 2: do with a team that doesn't have a quarterback. So

338
00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:58,840
Speaker 2: he decides I'm going to stay in the division, which

339
00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:01,320
Speaker 2: is kind of some turncoach if you ask me, and

340
00:19:01,359 --> 00:19:03,720
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go to the Chicago Bears because oh, they've

341
00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:09,920
Speaker 2: got a tremendous prospect in Caleb Williams. Now, I'm sure

342
00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:12,520
Speaker 2: you guys saw the clip last week that went viral.

343
00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:15,119
Speaker 2: Some guys, some like prankster's got a hold of Caleb

344
00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:20,080
Speaker 2: Williams's number and texted, Hey, this is Ben Johnson. I'm

345
00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:25,000
Speaker 2: coming to Chicago. Let's go, And just like any young kid,

346
00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:29,080
Speaker 2: Caleb Williams respond actually, oh oh. And then they did

347
00:19:29,080 --> 00:19:31,159
Speaker 2: a FaceTime and of course these young kids are on

348
00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:34,760
Speaker 2: there like twenty year old jokers or whatever, and Caleb's like, ah, man, okay.

349
00:19:35,359 --> 00:19:39,880
Speaker 2: But it turns out Caleb Williams gets Ben Johnson and

350
00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:43,040
Speaker 2: this mastermind who's never been a head coach, and let's

351
00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:46,240
Speaker 2: be honest, guys, three years ago, nobody had heard of

352
00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:52,359
Speaker 2: Ben Johnson, Nobody like he just he kind of emerged

353
00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:56,240
Speaker 2: with Detroit and all of a sudden, just he went

354
00:19:56,320 --> 00:20:00,680
Speaker 2: postal and they could not be stopped. They're running hook ladders.

355
00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:04,000
Speaker 2: They had so many creative plays. I would say in

356
00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:07,880
Speaker 2: the last year they make the NFL fun, you know, like, yeah,

357
00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:10,159
Speaker 2: the Chiefs have had some good, interesting, creative stuff. I

358
00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:12,160
Speaker 2: think they've done less of it here in the last year,

359
00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:16,000
Speaker 2: maybe because they're limited or just the well has run dry.

360
00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:19,240
Speaker 2: But to me, Ben Johnson makes the Lions the most

361
00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:22,679
Speaker 2: fun team to watch Offensively, like Jayden Daniels is up

362
00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:26,560
Speaker 2: there because of his scrambling ability. Obviously, the Eagles have

363
00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:31,760
Speaker 2: Saquon Barkley, who's fun. The Buffalo Bills have Josh Allen.

364
00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:36,120
Speaker 2: But weirdly, Detroit's is less about the quarterback and more

365
00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:40,200
Speaker 2: about the scheme and the design. And I'm just telling

366
00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:42,600
Speaker 2: you they cook up the most interesting stuff in the league.

367
00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:45,800
Speaker 2: And this is a huge get for Chicago. My questions,

368
00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:52,119
Speaker 2: if you're ready, Number one, is Ben Johnson's creativity going

369
00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:54,840
Speaker 2: to be stifled somewhat by weather because a lot of

370
00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:57,399
Speaker 2: his damage has been done indoors. Yes, obviously he can

371
00:20:57,480 --> 00:21:03,120
Speaker 2: run hooking ladders outside. But inclement weather in Chicago. Instead

372
00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:08,280
Speaker 2: of eight dome games, you're getting eight outdoor games in Chicago,

373
00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:11,800
Speaker 2: probably four of them in really crappy cold weather with

374
00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:15,280
Speaker 2: the potential for snow and sleet and all that fun stuff. Yeah,

375
00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:17,920
Speaker 2: I'm sure his stuff's gonna work outdoors in that weather.

376
00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:21,240
Speaker 2: But I just wonder if the playbook is as deep

377
00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:24,120
Speaker 2: when you're going outdoors, because I mean, even you think

378
00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:26,520
Speaker 2: you think back to Detroit in the playoffs and they

379
00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:29,359
Speaker 2: had to go to San fran that's warm weather. That's fine,

380
00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:34,119
Speaker 2: you can run anything in that. The coldest weather impressive

381
00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:36,480
Speaker 2: game I might have been that Jets performance where they

382
00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:39,280
Speaker 2: ran like a fourth and one play to a seldom

383
00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:41,320
Speaker 2: used tight end and like the most important play of

384
00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:43,720
Speaker 2: the game fifty yard touchdown. I'll never forget that. I

385
00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:46,640
Speaker 2: was like, this guy's freaking good. That was just incredible

386
00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:48,560
Speaker 2: play and the Jets were Nobody was ready for that.

387
00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:53,440
Speaker 2: So ultimately, I think Ben Johnson's a great get for

388
00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:57,720
Speaker 2: the Bears. I I do believe you know, if you

389
00:21:57,760 --> 00:22:01,640
Speaker 2: look closely at that division, you know you don't want

390
00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:04,639
Speaker 2: to get too hot taky but let's be real, guys,

391
00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:06,880
Speaker 2: the way the Packers kind of ended the season, Jordan

392
00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:11,320
Speaker 2: Love up and down, Ben Johnson and Kayleb Williams, there

393
00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:14,159
Speaker 2: could be something real nice there. Now. They need to

394
00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:16,679
Speaker 2: bolster the offensive line because he goes from an elite

395
00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:19,520
Speaker 2: offensive line in Detroit to a middling to below average

396
00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:24,280
Speaker 2: one in Chicago. The defense has some has some good

397
00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:29,560
Speaker 2: stuff there, but obviously they're not an elite unit. I think,

398
00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:32,680
Speaker 2: you know, the weapons, assuming they keep Dj Moore, we

399
00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:35,000
Speaker 2: know he kind of flashed him on happiness this season.

400
00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:39,480
Speaker 2: I think that you know, you could argue maybe that

401
00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:44,800
Speaker 2: it the offensive skill position players aren't far behind Detroit

402
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:47,280
Speaker 2: like a'ma Rossaint Brown's AWESO. Now just say skill position,

403
00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:50,960
Speaker 2: not offensive line. I'm a Rossaint Brown incredible. But Dj

404
00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:53,600
Speaker 2: Moore is really freaking good not far behind him. And

405
00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:57,159
Speaker 2: then Romadunze is probably you know, I don't know that

406
00:22:57,240 --> 00:22:59,560
Speaker 2: he's quite Jamison Williams yet, but we could see him

407
00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:02,119
Speaker 2: popping too. He was a rookie, remember Jamis and Williams

408
00:23:02,119 --> 00:23:04,160
Speaker 2: did nothing early in his career. He had the injury

409
00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:07,560
Speaker 2: at the suspension. Roma Dunze could easily pop Keenan Allen

410
00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:10,240
Speaker 2: if he's still with the team, if he's healthy, he's

411
00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:14,160
Speaker 2: a valuable piece. The Bears, running backs, tight ends, it's

412
00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:16,760
Speaker 2: all good. They've got an above average skill position players.

413
00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:18,800
Speaker 2: I don't think it's a massive drop off. It's the

414
00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:22,840
Speaker 2: offensive line, which is going to be key to everything.

415
00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:25,440
Speaker 2: I let's see who I had the Bears looking at

416
00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:27,680
Speaker 2: in the draft. They were picking tenth. I had them

417
00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:34,880
Speaker 2: going offensive linemen from Texas, Kelvin Banks. They have Listen,

418
00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:37,080
Speaker 2: the Bears have the worst offensive line in the division

419
00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:40,359
Speaker 2: by a long shot, and they've got to fix it now.

420
00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:42,800
Speaker 2: The Vikings, the offensive line was putrid at the end

421
00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:44,560
Speaker 2: of the season, but they were missing their left tackle.

422
00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:48,320
Speaker 2: He was injured. I think the arrow is pointing up

423
00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:49,920
Speaker 2: for Chicago. I don't know that I'm ready to bet

424
00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:52,560
Speaker 2: them to make the playoffs next year, but certainly they

425
00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:55,800
Speaker 2: will be in contention for a spot for a wildcard

426
00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:59,639
Speaker 2: next year. Ice Let's see what the Vikings do at quarterback.

427
00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:02,160
Speaker 2: Is it going to be Jj McCarthy, That's what I think.

428
00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:05,040
Speaker 2: I do think there will be some pullback for the Lions.

429
00:24:05,080 --> 00:24:08,040
Speaker 2: Let's see what they do at offensive coordinator. I don't know.

430
00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:11,520
Speaker 2: I saw somebody floating Teddy Bridgewater as the oc I

431
00:24:11,560 --> 00:24:15,040
Speaker 2: was like, come on, come on, and let's see what

432
00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:17,760
Speaker 2: happens with the Packers. They didn't seem thrilled with Jordan

433
00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:21,119
Speaker 2: Love's decision making at the end of the season, but

434
00:24:21,160 --> 00:24:23,760
Speaker 2: they got good skill position guys. So that division, I

435
00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:26,840
Speaker 2: think pretty clearly is the best division in football, only

436
00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:30,840
Speaker 2: because the Raiders are so bad in their division. So

437
00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:33,280
Speaker 2: I'm excited for Ben Johnson and the Chicago Bears. Is

438
00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:35,119
Speaker 2: going to be a very good get for the Bears,

439
00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:37,439
Speaker 2: and now we just wait for the Cowboys. For my

440
00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:42,040
Speaker 2: Jets Jaguars, I think the Jaguars are an interesting story.

441
00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:45,480
Speaker 2: Is everyone off of Trevor Lawrence already? Like you'd think, Oh,

442
00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:47,280
Speaker 2: we've got a franchise quarterback. Should be easy to get

443
00:24:47,280 --> 00:24:50,760
Speaker 2: a coach. And the names I'm seeing are just so unimpressive.

444
00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:53,879
Speaker 2: I don't know. Weird stuff going on in the NFL,

445
00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:56,400
Speaker 2: but never a dull moment. All right, we are back tomorrow.

446
00:24:56,480 --> 00:24:58,680
Speaker 2: Congrats to the buck Eyes. Talk to you then.
