1 00:00:01,320 --> 00:00:19,079 Speaker 1: The volume. What is going on everybody? How are we doing? 2 00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:24,480 Speaker 1: John Middlecock three and Out podcast? Hopefully you were doing well. 3 00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:28,000 Speaker 1: This show is presented by my friends at Zone Pouches. 4 00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:35,000 Speaker 1: Hopefully you had a great Christmas enjoyed family friends. I've 5 00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:40,640 Speaker 1: been an absolute pig. I really have cake pie ice cream. 6 00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:43,960 Speaker 1: I need to go on like a seven day fast 7 00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:47,520 Speaker 1: because feel terrible. But that's what the holidays are for. 8 00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:53,519 Speaker 1: Same with football, because we just watched the Baltimore Ravens 9 00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:56,680 Speaker 1: run for three hundred yards on the Green Bay Packers, 10 00:00:56,720 --> 00:01:00,320 Speaker 1: who are officially now in shambles and they might only 11 00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:04,400 Speaker 1: have they're locked into the seventh seed. The Chicago Bears 12 00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:07,800 Speaker 1: win the division, obviously, have a massive game against the 13 00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:12,000 Speaker 1: forty nine ers on Sunday Night Football. The Chargers lose 14 00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:16,440 Speaker 1: the Texans. They're both in the playoffs. Houston eliminates Indy. 15 00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:20,880 Speaker 1: The Broncos have officially won the West, first time. The 16 00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:24,200 Speaker 1: Chiefs haven't won the West in I think nine years. 17 00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:28,440 Speaker 1: I saw kind of a crazy little streak. And some 18 00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:32,120 Speaker 1: other big news this weekend was Max Crosby him a 19 00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:34,920 Speaker 1: little at odds with the Raiders. So we'll dive into 20 00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:38,160 Speaker 1: that situation. Where could he be headed this offseason if 21 00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:43,080 Speaker 1: they choose to trade him, which I think they probably should. Neil, 22 00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:44,240 Speaker 1: we'll try to get you out of here on that. 23 00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:47,039 Speaker 1: Not a super long Saturday night podcast because we've got 24 00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:48,559 Speaker 1: a lot of game Sunday with a lot on the line. 25 00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:51,680 Speaker 1: So yeah, you guys know the drill.

I think we 30 00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:11,680 Speaker 1: can put the Packers on notice. They're officially in major trouble. 31 00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:16,840 Speaker 1: This season went from being bright the future of like 32 00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:18,720 Speaker 1: they can win the Super Bowl. They have one of 33 00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:21,720 Speaker 1: the best defense in the league. They're just rolling in 34 00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:25,000 Speaker 1: the middle of the season too, now in complete shambles. 35 00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:27,359 Speaker 1: I mean, by the end of that game, their defensive 36 00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:30,200 Speaker 1: mass unit, Derreck Henry looked like he was in his 37 00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:34,040 Speaker 1: absolute apex in his prime, running for two hundred yards. 38 00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:36,680 Speaker 1: They couldn't get a stop to save their life. Meanwhile, 39 00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:41,839 Speaker 1: their backup quarterback is just having an incredible game and 40 00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:46,200 Speaker 1: they end up losing by multiple scores. So I think. 41 00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:48,160 Speaker 1: If you're a Packer fan, you're locked in on the 42 00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:51,560 Speaker 1: seventh seed. You're going, what the hell just happened to 43 00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:54,400 Speaker 1: our season? You know, you made the playoffs again. You 44 00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:57,280 Speaker 1: hold your head high, but a little bit like the 45 00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:00,840 Speaker 1: Pittsburgh Steelers, like you never lose. You never have one 46 00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:02,760 Speaker 1: of those seasons where you win four or five games. 47 00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:05,359 Speaker 1: But this season felt like it was gonna be the 48 00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:09,400 Speaker 1: year you make the trade for Micah Parsons. Everything looks 49 00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:12,600 Speaker 1: like it's about to come up your way, and you 50 00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:15,079 Speaker 1: look up in the middle of this game and you 51 00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:17,760 Speaker 1: can't get a stop to save your life. You have 52 00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:20,680 Speaker 1: guys getting carted off the field left and right. You 53 00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:23,760 Speaker 1: have an injury on the field that's so bad. Noay Eagle, 54 00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:27,239 Speaker 1: who sounds exactly like his father, comes back from breaking goes, guys, 55 00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:31,440 Speaker 1: we could not show you this injury. And you see 56 00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:33,960 Speaker 1: their guy going in the cart in tears with an 57 00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:39,520 Speaker 1: air cast. You go, holy moully, this is not good 58 00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:44,640 Speaker 1: for these guys. So I just I'm at a loss 59 00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:46,480 Speaker 1: a little bit because this was a team that I 60 00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:48,800 Speaker 1: had been on to not only make it to the 61 00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:50,920 Speaker 1: Super Bowl, but I thought would win the Super Bowl. 62 00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:55,200 Speaker 1: Then obviously Michaeh Parson's going out the game against the 63 00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:57,800 Speaker 1: Bears was kind of icing on the cake, right, you're 64 00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:00,720 Speaker 1: up sixteen to six, you lose it. Coming into this 65 00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:06,000 Speaker 1: game in a situation that wasn't really must win because 66 00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:09,000 Speaker 1: the Lions had lost and they were officially eliminated, so 67 00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:12,040 Speaker 1: the Packers were in, but like they still I mean 68 00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:15,600 Speaker 1: technically the Bears could lose and the division was still there, 69 00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:18,560 Speaker 1: and all of a sudden they couldn't just can't get 70 00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:21,880 Speaker 1: an stop and you're playing a backup quarterback. I mean, 71 00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:24,600 Speaker 1: how many yards of Tyler Huntley throw for tonight? I 72 00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:26,960 Speaker 1: bet yeah. I was gonna guess ninety five through for 73 00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:29,719 Speaker 1: one hundred and seven. So they have no passing game. 74 00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:33,919 Speaker 1: It was just run, run, run. Meanwhile, you're looking at 75 00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:37,760 Speaker 1: John Harbaugh. You're like, last week Derrick Henry looked pretty 76 00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:39,400 Speaker 1: good and then he doesn't play at the end of 77 00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:42,520 Speaker 1: the game, what were you doing? You're like, well, the 78 00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:46,120 Speaker 1: rotations or you're the head coach, Like that was unacceptable, 79 00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:49,159 Speaker 1: and clearly it was like they over compensated tonight and 80 00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:52,039 Speaker 1: made sure that they gave him the ball just over 81 00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:54,039 Speaker 1: and over, and they gave him thirty X cars. I mean, 82 00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:55,920 Speaker 1: they ran the ball fifty three times. Now, some of 83 00:04:55,960 --> 00:05:00,440 Speaker 1: those were Huntley scrambles, but just am I'm going, I 84 00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:03,080 Speaker 1: mean fifty three rushes for three hundred yards they average 85 00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:06,479 Speaker 1: almost If you run for over fifty times in a 86 00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:10,200 Speaker 1: game and your average per carry is five point eight, 87 00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:15,200 Speaker 1: you are shredding the opposing defense at Lambeau to get 88 00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:19,080 Speaker 1: embarrassed like that, especially when, let's face it, I mean, 89 00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:24,040 Speaker 1: one of the defining aspects of this team the last 90 00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:26,640 Speaker 1: couple of years has been the defensive side of the 91 00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:31,280 Speaker 1: ball has been their defensive coordinator, Jeff Afflee, who many 92 00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:34,760 Speaker 1: consider one of the top candidates this offseason to become 93 00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:38,120 Speaker 1: a head coach. And they just got obliterated, and it 94 00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:42,680 Speaker 1: felt like their season kind of unofficially ended to night. Now, 95 00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:45,240 Speaker 1: I do think there is a scenario that there's a 96 00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:48,560 Speaker 1: lot to play out with the NFC seeding over the 97 00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:50,560 Speaker 1: next couple weeks. I mean, the only thing we know 98 00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:53,680 Speaker 1: for sure is that in some version of the Panthers 99 00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:56,880 Speaker 1: or Tampa Bay will be hosting what I would bet 100 00:05:56,920 --> 00:06:01,719 Speaker 1: on will be the Sunday morning game on Fox come 101 00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:06,960 Speaker 1: come two weeks in that wild Card round. But Eagles 102 00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:10,200 Speaker 1: bear Seattle Rams forty nine ers. I mean the seatings. 103 00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:12,120 Speaker 1: You just don't you know the Eagles are gonna get 104 00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:14,640 Speaker 1: a home game, but Seattle, the Rams and the forty 105 00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:17,360 Speaker 1: nine ers can end up in multiple spots and saying, 106 00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:20,279 Speaker 1: you know, Chicago's gonna end up either one or two. 107 00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:23,719 Speaker 1: But I just look at this Packer team and go 108 00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:25,919 Speaker 1: that they feel like one and done. Now, if they 109 00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:28,640 Speaker 1: played the Bears in that first round, there is a 110 00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:32,400 Speaker 1: scenario where that thing could get weird just because everybody 111 00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:34,520 Speaker 1: and their mother would be picking the Bears. It'd be 112 00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:38,600 Speaker 1: a weird feeling for Bears fans being the overwhelming favorite 113 00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:42,120 Speaker 1: against a rival who's owned you until they didn't own 114 00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:45,400 Speaker 1: you in that crazy comeback game, and now you win 115 00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:48,800 Speaker 1: the division and now you host them their season online. 116 00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:52,960 Speaker 1: Some people say Matt lafleor like the Matt Lafleur contract 117 00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:56,720 Speaker 1: extension situation is kind of the elephant in the room. 118 00:06:56,880 --> 00:07:01,160 Speaker 1: At the same time, I'm watching Malik Willis. Malik Willis 119 00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:04,840 Speaker 1: is everything that Twitter told you that Justin Fields was, 120 00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:08,760 Speaker 1: but he actually isn't. And that's what Malik Willis is. Now. 121 00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:11,360 Speaker 1: He probably had one of the best games of his career, 122 00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:13,760 Speaker 1: but we've watched him now two weeks in a row, 123 00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:16,400 Speaker 1: one coming off the bench looked just like he did 124 00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:19,280 Speaker 1: to night where he got a full week of prep 125 00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:23,200 Speaker 1: where he was incredible. Derrick Henry and Malik Willis were 126 00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:25,520 Speaker 1: the best two players on the field, and honestly, it 127 00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:28,440 Speaker 1: wasn't even close. I mean, though, Derrick Henry's going right 128 00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:30,400 Speaker 1: to the Hall of Fame. He's truly one of the 129 00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:36,080 Speaker 1: great bell cow you know, just just horses the league 130 00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:40,280 Speaker 1: has ever seen, literally physically, you know, beside Adrian Peterson 131 00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:42,960 Speaker 1: and back in the day like Earl Campbell, They're justn't 132 00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:47,480 Speaker 1: running backs that size. But I was just I was 133 00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:50,080 Speaker 1: blown away by Malik Willis and a lot of people 134 00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:52,560 Speaker 1: online like how much money's gonna get, what's gonna happen 135 00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:56,640 Speaker 1: Justin Fields? Who's just listened? I was wrong. I love 136 00:07:56,800 --> 00:07:59,080 Speaker 1: Justin Fields coming out of college. Turns out he's just 137 00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:01,840 Speaker 1: not a good quarterback. He's bench right now with the Jets. 138 00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:05,720 Speaker 1: Right got two years and forty million dollars, thirty of 139 00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:09,960 Speaker 1: it was guaranteed. No one would argue, not a GM, 140 00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:12,920 Speaker 1: not a coach, not a fan that Malik Willis say, 141 00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:15,800 Speaker 1: you can go less of a sample size. But I've 142 00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:18,760 Speaker 1: just watched him last year. He's dramatically better this year. 143 00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:23,880 Speaker 1: Comfortable in environments in the cold, off the bench. Like 144 00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:27,440 Speaker 1: I would say that would be the minimum someone would 145 00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:31,000 Speaker 1: sign him for, would be that two for twenty. Young guy, 146 00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:36,000 Speaker 1: high character, physically obeste can run. Honestly, do you know 147 00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:39,520 Speaker 1: what I was thinking tonight to defend my guy brock 148 00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:41,840 Speaker 1: Purty a little bit? Is Everyone's like, well, what the 149 00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:45,400 Speaker 1: hell's the difference? Mac Jones like, if we're gonna have 150 00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:48,120 Speaker 1: that argument, not me, But it's gone around. People have 151 00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:51,040 Speaker 1: talked about it, and listen, I understand where it comes from. 152 00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:53,960 Speaker 1: It's it's low hanging fruit. Why is no one having 153 00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:57,000 Speaker 1: the argument like Jordan Lover or Malik Willis? Because Malik 154 00:08:57,040 --> 00:08:59,960 Speaker 1: Willis brings an element with his legs where he is 155 00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:04,120 Speaker 1: as an outstanding runner and clearly like his instincts as 156 00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:07,480 Speaker 1: a runner on the one kind of you know, on 157 00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:10,240 Speaker 1: the on the give or keep play, he keeps the ball. 158 00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:13,040 Speaker 1: They all bite and he just walks to the end zone. 159 00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:15,560 Speaker 1: I mean he had two touchdown runs. The other one 160 00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:18,760 Speaker 1: was nice too. His throws like throwing over the middle 161 00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:21,440 Speaker 1: of the field. The touch on the outside routes the 162 00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:26,319 Speaker 1: poison the pocket from just like breaking tackles to stepping 163 00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:30,400 Speaker 1: up in the pocket, just absolutely blown away. So again, 164 00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:32,640 Speaker 1: if Justin Fields can get two years and forty million, 165 00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:36,960 Speaker 1: Malik Willis, one can If I was representing Malik Willis, 166 00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:40,200 Speaker 1: if the numbers weren't didn't just start at those numbers, 167 00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:42,960 Speaker 1: I would hang up the phone And it wouldn't shock 168 00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:45,000 Speaker 1: me at all if someone gives them like two years 169 00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:48,600 Speaker 1: fifty million dollars his offseason because of a small sample size, 170 00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:54,160 Speaker 1: obviously a long term contract would be risky, but I 171 00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:57,760 Speaker 1: would be stunned if Malik Willis like, he's not gonna 172 00:09:57,760 --> 00:09:59,520 Speaker 1: be on the Packers next year. They just can't afford 173 00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:02,080 Speaker 1: to keep him. And there are enough teams. I mean, 174 00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:05,040 Speaker 1: the Raiders are an absolute shambles. We'll diving into them 175 00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:08,040 Speaker 1: in a second. The Miami Dolphins literally just benched the 176 00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:12,000 Speaker 1: guy fifty million dollars. They might have some financial they 177 00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:15,400 Speaker 1: might have financial flexibility to sign him. The Arizona Cardinals 178 00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:17,520 Speaker 1: are clearly getting out of the Kyler Murray business now. 179 00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:19,600 Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure he's still on the books next year 180 00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:22,640 Speaker 1: for I think close to forty million dollars. So there 181 00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:23,920 Speaker 1: are a lot of some of these teams with some 182 00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:27,920 Speaker 1: quarterback issues that are the financial flexibility. Will have to 183 00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:29,560 Speaker 1: keep an eye on that, but we know the cap 184 00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:32,480 Speaker 1: can be manipulated pretty easily. And the other elephant in 185 00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:37,199 Speaker 1: the room going for Malik Willis's as of right now 186 00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:39,720 Speaker 1: will have to see with Dante Moore at Oregon, there 187 00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:42,520 Speaker 1: only looks like one viable quarterback getting drafted high, and 188 00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:45,720 Speaker 1: that would be Mendoza from Indiana, again, assuming he comes 189 00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:49,080 Speaker 1: out pretty sure, everyone just assumes he's going to So 190 00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:52,600 Speaker 1: if Mendoza is in the draft and he goes one, well, 191 00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:54,640 Speaker 1: there are gonna be some other teams that are drafting 192 00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:57,840 Speaker 1: high that don't have a quarterback that are gonna want 193 00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:01,840 Speaker 1: a guy. And remember the unlike the NBA, in the NFL, 194 00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:05,840 Speaker 1: free agency comes before the draft, so this guy would 195 00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:08,240 Speaker 1: be signed in the middle of March, right in the drafts, 196 00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:10,839 Speaker 1: not till the end of April. But right now, to me, 197 00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:13,360 Speaker 1: if I had to guess, I would say two years, 198 00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:16,679 Speaker 1: fifty million dollars with like thirty five million dollars guaranteed. 199 00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:19,320 Speaker 1: That's how much money Malik Willis made himself in the 200 00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:24,760 Speaker 1: last five days. Because no one you know, whether you 201 00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:28,280 Speaker 1: have you know a bias, you hate the Packers. Whether 202 00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:30,120 Speaker 1: you just like football, if you just watched him play 203 00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:31,720 Speaker 1: the Las two weeks, you'd be like, that's a good player. 204 00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:34,520 Speaker 1: I see these people. There aren't thirty two quarterbacks better 205 00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:36,920 Speaker 1: than him. Thirty two quarterbacks, I mean there are ten 206 00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:39,800 Speaker 1: guys to start that suck thirty two quarterbacks. I mean, 207 00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:42,080 Speaker 1: there's like fifteen good players in the league, and some 208 00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:44,160 Speaker 1: of those good players are kind of playing like crap 209 00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:45,839 Speaker 1: right now. I watch Jared Goff the other night, like, 210 00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:48,720 Speaker 1: what the hell is this? You know, I mean, Malik 211 00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:53,760 Speaker 1: Willis the Minnesota Vikings, would Kevin O'Connell would like sell 212 00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:56,920 Speaker 1: a pinky toe to have JJ McCarthy ever looked like that. 213 00:11:57,320 --> 00:12:01,560 Speaker 1: I mean, that's that was I'm blown away. I mean 214 00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:04,199 Speaker 1: all night long, I kept going if the hous as possible, 215 00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:07,960 Speaker 1: just how good naturally was in the pockets scrambling around. 216 00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:10,320 Speaker 1: And the other thing is sometimes you see with quarterbacks, 217 00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:12,440 Speaker 1: you know, guys like him, this is a fields thing, 218 00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:15,160 Speaker 1: and they start scrambling around, their eyes go down, they 219 00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:18,360 Speaker 1: start running into sacks. His eyes are up. He's like, 220 00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:21,439 Speaker 1: you know, scrambling to the side, staying behind the line 221 00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:24,240 Speaker 1: of scrimmage to make throws. He has a great feel 222 00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:28,480 Speaker 1: and like scramble drills for where is his uh, his 223 00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:32,160 Speaker 1: wide receivers are going so again, I mean Derrick Henry rightfully, 224 00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:34,960 Speaker 1: so will probably be the headline runs for over two 225 00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:37,880 Speaker 1: hundred yards and four touchdowns, but I would put it 226 00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:41,120 Speaker 1: right behind it Malik Willis. And to me, Malik Willis 227 00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:43,959 Speaker 1: kind of had his Philip Rivers moment like on Monday Night. 228 00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:46,280 Speaker 1: Malik Willis played to win the game like he played 229 00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:49,680 Speaker 1: winning football. It was his defense's fault. And that's the 230 00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:52,880 Speaker 1: type defense where in I don't care whether it's twenty 231 00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:56,199 Speaker 1: twenty five or nineteen seventy nine. If your defense doesn't 232 00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:59,360 Speaker 1: play well, you have no shot to win in the 233 00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:02,440 Speaker 1: college football playoffs, and definitely to win in the NFL playoffs, 234 00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:05,040 Speaker 1: you have none. And listen, this isn't all their fault. 235 00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:08,240 Speaker 1: They have a bunch of injuries, like you can't out 236 00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:11,360 Speaker 1: scheme random backups, and they're at the point now where 237 00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:14,439 Speaker 1: they just got a mash unit and they play a 238 00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:16,760 Speaker 1: team like the Bears. You know, they play the forty 239 00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:19,920 Speaker 1: nine ers. All these teams have good offensive players that 240 00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:22,800 Speaker 1: they would just get absolutely shredded. And Malik Willis at 241 00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:24,720 Speaker 1: least gives them hope because he can do both pass 242 00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:27,679 Speaker 1: and run around. Now, I would expect Jordan Love when 243 00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:31,679 Speaker 1: he clears concussion protocol to get elevated and thrown back 244 00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:34,400 Speaker 1: in there. But I think the way their team is 245 00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:36,920 Speaker 1: set up right now, you could argue Malik Willis because 246 00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:38,280 Speaker 1: the other thing, and they kept mention this on the broadcast, 247 00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:42,760 Speaker 1: they can't run the ball. They had seventy nine yard 248 00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:46,360 Speaker 1: rushing and Malik Willis had sixty of it. So Jacob 249 00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:49,559 Speaker 1: is clearly banged up. Amanuel Wilson had three carries for 250 00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:55,520 Speaker 1: sixteen yards, and like his running threat is really kind 251 00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:58,560 Speaker 1: of bounces out their offense. So I think if you're 252 00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:01,840 Speaker 1: a Packer fan, you just kind of looking right now 253 00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:06,080 Speaker 1: at the wall, going what the heck? How? What? What 254 00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:09,560 Speaker 1: just happened? And it all started when that injury with 255 00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:14,199 Speaker 1: Micah Parsons laying there on the ground. The season kind 256 00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:16,800 Speaker 1: of pivoted right then because the moment that happened, the 257 00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:21,080 Speaker 1: Broncos slipped a switch and we haven't really looked back since. Now. Ironically, 258 00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:24,240 Speaker 1: they did play well in the first three quarters and 259 00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:26,720 Speaker 1: ten minutes of that Bears game, but then it all 260 00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:30,040 Speaker 1: slipped away. So it does feel like the last I 261 00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:31,920 Speaker 1: don't know, fifteen minutes of the Bears game kind of 262 00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:34,280 Speaker 1: defines that entire game, even though they played pretty well 263 00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:35,560 Speaker 1: in that game, and a large part of that was 264 00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:39,720 Speaker 1: Malik Willis with a beautiful touchdown pass, who was excellent 265 00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:42,240 Speaker 1: in that spot off the bench. So the Packers are 266 00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:44,560 Speaker 1: now officially the seventh seed. They're going to be a 267 00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:48,400 Speaker 1: massive underdog. I would guess potentially like a round of touchdown, 268 00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:52,320 Speaker 1: depending whether they play the Rams, whether they play you know, 269 00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:56,920 Speaker 1: the Bears. I guess the Eagles possible, I gues. I mean, 270 00:14:57,360 --> 00:14:58,960 Speaker 1: most people are going to assume the Eagles are going 271 00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:01,840 Speaker 1: to lose the Buffalo and probably get defined as that 272 00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:04,360 Speaker 1: number three seed, so that they wouldn't play the Eagles 273 00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:07,400 Speaker 1: in the first round. But I think the Backers, unlike 274 00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:09,240 Speaker 1: a couple of years ago when they went to Dallas 275 00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:12,000 Speaker 1: and had the big upset, that this does not feel 276 00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:14,720 Speaker 1: like that at all, doesn't even feel possible, partly because 277 00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:18,840 Speaker 1: their defense and shambles and offensively, it's just weird. And 278 00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:22,680 Speaker 1: I would still extend Matt Lafleur. It's definitely gonna be 279 00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:24,920 Speaker 1: a conversation that comes up. I mean, what he's done 280 00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:27,360 Speaker 1: with Malik willis like you get credit for that. And 281 00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:30,800 Speaker 1: the other reality is if you were to, I guess, 282 00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:36,280 Speaker 1: fire Lafloor, to me, your best option then would just 283 00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:39,960 Speaker 1: be elevating Halflee. But you'd have to understand Lafleur would 284 00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:42,160 Speaker 1: immediately get hired. I mean, there are so many jobs 285 00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:44,400 Speaker 1: that would be open. I think he would be a 286 00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:47,640 Speaker 1: lock to get hired yesterday. I think he would immediately 287 00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:50,720 Speaker 1: be hired by the Titans. I think the Giants would 288 00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:53,560 Speaker 1: have to be like on drugs to not be all 289 00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:57,960 Speaker 1: over him again, assuming that, you know, Mike Tomblin's kind 290 00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:00,880 Speaker 1: of quieted everybody and it's not one of those like, oh, 291 00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:02,760 Speaker 1: it's just the narrative, the same old, same old with 292 00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:07,240 Speaker 1: Mike Mike Tomlin. Part of it is this the Steelers 293 00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:09,760 Speaker 1: put out like a month ago when they were in shambles. 294 00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:13,200 Speaker 1: Schefter starts putting out the details to his contract, like 295 00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:15,080 Speaker 1: you know, they're not gonna fire him, but they would 296 00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:18,920 Speaker 1: trade him, Like it's that's coming from the Steelers right now. 297 00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:22,120 Speaker 1: Maybe he shuts them up. What about John Harbaugh. I mean, 298 00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:26,760 Speaker 1: this Lamar situation's weird. I didn't even quite realize this. 299 00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:29,680 Speaker 1: We were just talking about it before we press record, 300 00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:32,440 Speaker 1: the story that came out about them. You know this 301 00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:35,680 Speaker 1: information about I guess and yeah, I just saw the 302 00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:38,080 Speaker 1: headline about him playing video games late at night. Clearly 303 00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:40,600 Speaker 1: the Ravens aren't thrilled. Where do you think that information 304 00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:44,200 Speaker 1: comes from? Probably not Lamar's people. So and that that's 305 00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:46,920 Speaker 1: what happens when you lose. People start backstabbing each other. 306 00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:49,440 Speaker 1: You know, did you know Dan Campbell takes a lot 307 00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:51,880 Speaker 1: of shit, Like what about John Harbaugh? John Harbaugh a 308 00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:53,280 Speaker 1: couple of years ago had the best team in the 309 00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:55,720 Speaker 1: league and he's a super Bowl champion and now a 310 00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:57,800 Speaker 1: couple of years later. I mean, if if the Steelers 311 00:16:57,840 --> 00:17:00,520 Speaker 1: just take care of business here and you know less 312 00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:04,280 Speaker 1: than I don't know, fifteen hours were their favorite against 313 00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:07,840 Speaker 1: the Browns, who were fucking terrible, you're gonna miss the playoffs. 314 00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:11,880 Speaker 1: So that's that's pretty embarrassing. And let's face it, you're 315 00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:15,400 Speaker 1: not even close to these other playoff teams, it feels like, right, 316 00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:18,359 Speaker 1: So I just think Carball's a guy to kind of 317 00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:19,920 Speaker 1: keep an eye on that. I think it's gotten weird 318 00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:22,440 Speaker 1: and gotten weird fast, even with the win the night, 319 00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:26,080 Speaker 1: But well, that's you don't get much credit if the 320 00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:28,840 Speaker 1: Steelers win, Your season's over before you even played. The 321 00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:31,360 Speaker 1: last game of the season, which was against the Pittsburgh Steelers, 322 00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:34,399 Speaker 1: which we all thought like three weeks ago, was gonna 323 00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:37,840 Speaker 1: probably be like Sunday Night winner wins the division. This 324 00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:40,439 Speaker 1: huge rivalry Tomlin versus Harbot. Now the game might not 325 00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:42,800 Speaker 1: even matter. That the Steelers are gonna be playing Mason 326 00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:47,679 Speaker 1: Rudolph against Stup Huntley. So a lot happening. And then 327 00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:51,240 Speaker 1: the earlier game, like I said, I came from lunch, 328 00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:55,480 Speaker 1: walked into this bar. You know, it was weird. I 329 00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:57,160 Speaker 1: kind of got drunk in the middle of the day 330 00:17:57,160 --> 00:17:59,640 Speaker 1: and then you know, sobered up by about dinner time. 331 00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:01,800 Speaker 1: Drunk would be strong, but I had, you know, three 332 00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:04,639 Speaker 1: or four cocktails. You kind of lose track of the 333 00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:07,239 Speaker 1: days and like, is this is every day? Just like 334 00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:11,920 Speaker 1: a Saturday, even though today technically is Saturday. And they're 335 00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:15,320 Speaker 1: up fourteen nothing. I'm like, I have to like kind 336 00:18:15,320 --> 00:18:17,040 Speaker 1: of scratch my eyes. I'm like, this is really the 337 00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:20,119 Speaker 1: Texans are up fourteen to nothing. I go look at 338 00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:22,960 Speaker 1: the highlights, you know on Twitter, I mean just through 339 00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:25,520 Speaker 1: two bombs and you get a fourteen to nothing lead 340 00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:28,920 Speaker 1: with that defense, They're going to be in major trouble. Now, 341 00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:32,439 Speaker 1: listen the end of the game, the past interference or 342 00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:37,320 Speaker 1: the defensive holding or whatever. The penalties in general in 343 00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:43,199 Speaker 1: the NFL on defensive backs late in games are just embarrassing. 344 00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:48,360 Speaker 1: They really are. And they are consistently defensive holding, defensive 345 00:18:48,359 --> 00:18:54,600 Speaker 1: past interference, you know, illegal touching these It's already impossible 346 00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:57,320 Speaker 1: to play that position. No one's allowed to get touched 347 00:18:57,359 --> 00:18:59,960 Speaker 1: physically going across the middle. We have something called defense 348 00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:04,560 Speaker 1: useless receivers. No, guys, it's football. They're not defenseless. They 349 00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:07,640 Speaker 1: know when they're running a crossing route or a dig 350 00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:10,919 Speaker 1: route or just anything over the middle of the field. 351 00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:14,800 Speaker 1: There are other defenders. They're jobs literally to tackle them 352 00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:16,439 Speaker 1: and hit them. But you're not allowed to really do 353 00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:19,480 Speaker 1: that anymore. Now. I can't just do anything to you. 354 00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:23,640 Speaker 1: And the play call. I'm not saying obviously that impacted 355 00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:27,840 Speaker 1: the gate greatly, but I just think that call is 356 00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:31,920 Speaker 1: consistently made. Someone asked me, I have a buddy who 357 00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:35,560 Speaker 1: is a baseball player. Before I'm not going to give 358 00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:38,160 Speaker 1: away his team, but he's in a certain teams organization. 359 00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:41,280 Speaker 1: He was texting me. One of his good buddies plays 360 00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:44,119 Speaker 1: on a pretty good NFL team, and he's like, his 361 00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:46,520 Speaker 1: buddy was texting, like the officiating this year feels worse 362 00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:49,000 Speaker 1: than ever, and like I just kind of thought of 363 00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:50,880 Speaker 1: this because he's like, why do you think, And I'm like, well, 364 00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:54,840 Speaker 1: I do wonder. We used to have a group of guys. 365 00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:57,040 Speaker 1: I don't want to say they were famous, but they 366 00:19:57,040 --> 00:19:59,960 Speaker 1: were just kind of household names as officials and listen, 367 00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:02,639 Speaker 1: officiating is hard to begin with, but I feel like 368 00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:04,639 Speaker 1: through the nineties the two thousands, it was kind of 369 00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:06,879 Speaker 1: the same core group of guys. It does feel like 370 00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:09,480 Speaker 1: a lot of them have retired and they've hired a 371 00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:11,639 Speaker 1: lot of new guys. Clearly, you don't get paid that 372 00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:15,040 Speaker 1: much to be a to be an NFL referee. I 373 00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:17,880 Speaker 1: would say the group in general is as shitty as 374 00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:20,840 Speaker 1: it's ever been, and I do think they're coached up 375 00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:23,400 Speaker 1: to win. All else fails. Call it on the defense, 376 00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:26,879 Speaker 1: Call it on the defense, and that that just consistently 377 00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:29,679 Speaker 1: happens all around the league. Let alone a game that 378 00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:32,600 Speaker 1: you know, the Chargers would have had an opportunity to 379 00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:36,119 Speaker 1: win the division next week, Now do I think they 380 00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:38,119 Speaker 1: would have know? Now you'd say, well, what about the 381 00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:41,960 Speaker 1: Broncos the other night. I don't know. I mean, game 382 00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:43,560 Speaker 1: was a little weird, there's no doubt about it. I 383 00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:46,080 Speaker 1: mean that they the Chiefs had under one hundred yards offense. 384 00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:49,080 Speaker 1: I think the dude who they couldn't stop telling me, 385 00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:50,960 Speaker 1: he's like Patrick Mahone's best friend. Like, we get it. 386 00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:56,240 Speaker 1: He's thrown for like fifty yards in this game. But yeah, 387 00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:58,440 Speaker 1: I mean that was a rough loss for the Chargers, 388 00:20:58,480 --> 00:20:59,800 Speaker 1: But at the same time, like you get down fourteen 389 00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:03,000 Speaker 1: against a team like that with that much pass rush 390 00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:06,600 Speaker 1: and just that ability to cover, even though Justin Herbert 391 00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:10,679 Speaker 1: made some great plays with his legs. Two. Yeah, I 392 00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:13,040 Speaker 1: just I think the Texans I've been saying it forever. 393 00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:15,520 Speaker 1: They're a team that no one's gonna want to mess with. 394 00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:18,280 Speaker 1: And if they can get some explosive plays on offense, 395 00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:22,600 Speaker 1: especially in the passing game, with that defense, it would 396 00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:24,080 Speaker 1: not shock me to look up and they're in the 397 00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:27,439 Speaker 1: AFC Championship Game now. As someone that has a ticket 398 00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:31,560 Speaker 1: on them to win the division. I really hope that 399 00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:34,720 Speaker 1: the Colts somehow, I don't know how they would have 400 00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:37,600 Speaker 1: any motivation. Maybe it's just because of Philip Rivers can't 401 00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:39,960 Speaker 1: upset the Jags. Now, I don't feel that's gonna happen. 402 00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:43,760 Speaker 1: So I do think the Texans are just gonna end 403 00:21:43,800 --> 00:21:45,679 Speaker 1: up as the wild card. But for a team that 404 00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:49,040 Speaker 1: started own three like kind of a defining year for 405 00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:54,280 Speaker 1: the Texans, Brass for Damiko, for Nick Casserio, like that 406 00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:56,720 Speaker 1: was just a high level operation like that, that was 407 00:21:56,720 --> 00:21:59,320 Speaker 1: the type thing that we might look back five years 408 00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:02,080 Speaker 1: when they've just been consistently good for a while. That's 409 00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:04,040 Speaker 1: like what the Packers do. What the Steelers do, why 410 00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:07,159 Speaker 1: they never lose, Like when you're zero in three, you 411 00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:10,119 Speaker 1: can kind of crater and that speaks to the character 412 00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:12,199 Speaker 1: in that locker room. Obviously, the talent they have on 413 00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:15,000 Speaker 1: defense was carried them most of the season. You know, 414 00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:18,600 Speaker 1: CJ has I always say, had an up and down season, 415 00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:22,320 Speaker 1: but he's made some big plays when he had to. 416 00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:25,600 Speaker 1: And I just think the Texans are really good, really 417 00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:28,560 Speaker 1: well coached. They have like a physical chip on their 418 00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:31,800 Speaker 1: shoulder mentality, the way they play. The other thing is 419 00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:34,320 Speaker 1: when you make a pretty bold move, which they did. 420 00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:37,360 Speaker 1: They took CJ number two, and then they traded back 421 00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:40,119 Speaker 1: up from twelve to three to get Will Anderson. You 422 00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:43,280 Speaker 1: better fucking be right on that one, and they weren't 423 00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:45,000 Speaker 1: just right. I mean, they hit a home run on 424 00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:47,600 Speaker 1: that pick. And as a buddy in the league sent 425 00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:50,360 Speaker 1: me the list of the guys that the Cardinals drafted. 426 00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:53,400 Speaker 1: Let's just say that was a win for the Texans. 427 00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:56,000 Speaker 1: And the other thing that's you know, a big picture 428 00:22:56,280 --> 00:23:00,000 Speaker 1: for us like draft guys, is they have the command 429 00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:03,200 Speaker 1: second round pick because of the Laramy Tunzel trade, So 430 00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:05,080 Speaker 1: that pick has a pretty good chance to be in 431 00:23:05,119 --> 00:23:08,000 Speaker 1: the thirties. So the Texans are gonna make the playoffs 432 00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:10,159 Speaker 1: with their pick in the first round, which let's just 433 00:23:10,160 --> 00:23:12,800 Speaker 1: say is in the early twenties. Who knows. I mean, 434 00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:15,040 Speaker 1: that pick could be twenty eight. They might have picked 435 00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:18,800 Speaker 1: twenty eight and pick thirty seven, so they've because of 436 00:23:18,840 --> 00:23:21,720 Speaker 1: the Willie Anderson trade. You know, I think the depth 437 00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:24,480 Speaker 1: on their team is definitely not as good, but they 438 00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:26,560 Speaker 1: gave up a first rounder, right, and I think they 439 00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:28,119 Speaker 1: gave up like a first and a second round er 440 00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:30,080 Speaker 1: to move up to make that trade on top of 441 00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:33,600 Speaker 1: pick twelve, which whenever you trade pick twelve to get 442 00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:36,439 Speaker 1: up to three and then future stuff, you pick twelve 443 00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:38,760 Speaker 1: just becomes pick three, so you basically just swap. It's 444 00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:39,960 Speaker 1: what else did you give up? And I think it 445 00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:41,560 Speaker 1: was a second round pick and the following years first 446 00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:45,080 Speaker 1: round pick. That's impactful, but that hurts you. I saw 447 00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:47,200 Speaker 1: it with the forty nine ers, right, It's like last 448 00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:48,720 Speaker 1: year when they ran out of juice, Like, well, yeah, 449 00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:50,800 Speaker 1: they've been missing first round picks for years because of 450 00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:53,879 Speaker 1: the Trey Lance trade. Get ready Colts fans like, you 451 00:23:53,920 --> 00:23:55,800 Speaker 1: just missed the playoffs and you don't have a first 452 00:23:55,880 --> 00:23:58,640 Speaker 1: round pick for the next two years, Like that is 453 00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:00,879 Speaker 1: I mean, if you lose these next two games, that 454 00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:03,919 Speaker 1: is a massive win for the Jets. All of a sudden, 455 00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:06,960 Speaker 1: you look up and that pick is, you know, pick fifteen. 456 00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:10,240 Speaker 1: So all of a sudden, the Jets have the third 457 00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:12,760 Speaker 1: pick and the fifteenth overall pick. Now they've had that 458 00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:15,359 Speaker 1: before and they took Sauce Gardner, Garrett Wilson. They still sucked. 459 00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:18,719 Speaker 1: So just because you have picks, it doesn't guarantee you anything. 460 00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:20,960 Speaker 1: You got to have a quarterback or else you got 461 00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:23,080 Speaker 1: no shot. And you could argue even if you're just 462 00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:25,520 Speaker 1: the Jets, you got no shot. But that's a conversation 463 00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:28,720 Speaker 1: for a different day. So basically, today, the packers of 464 00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:31,440 Speaker 1: the seventh seed, the Ravens e the Steelers will lose. 465 00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:34,800 Speaker 1: Denver wins the West for the first time in nine years, 466 00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:36,960 Speaker 1: not just Denver, but anyone. The Chiefs have dominated that 467 00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:40,479 Speaker 1: division and the Texans are in and the Cults are 468 00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:43,760 Speaker 1: officially out. I saw someone posted this that like when 469 00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:47,239 Speaker 1: the Colts were eight and two. I don't know what 470 00:24:47,280 --> 00:24:49,639 Speaker 1: the the Texans record was at the time, but I 471 00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:51,560 Speaker 1: don't think it was great because they had had this 472 00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:55,720 Speaker 1: slow start. They had a I think over eighty percent 473 00:24:55,800 --> 00:24:59,280 Speaker 1: chance to win the division, and now they missed the playoffs. 474 00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:03,080 Speaker 1: You know, multiple teams in their own division are gonna 475 00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:05,280 Speaker 1: make the playoffs. It's a pretty big kick in the dick. 476 00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:08,520 Speaker 1: And we talked about this the other day that when 477 00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:13,080 Speaker 1: you when you make a move like that, you better 478 00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:15,879 Speaker 1: be sure. But you can never be sure because this 479 00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:18,560 Speaker 1: is not This is not Apple. You know that this 480 00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:21,480 Speaker 1: is not a company where you're producing a product. You're 481 00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:24,840 Speaker 1: dealing with human beings, and at any moment, a lake 482 00:25:24,840 --> 00:25:27,200 Speaker 1: can break, and Achilles can go, a calf can go. 483 00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:30,439 Speaker 1: Other people can get injured. I mean, how their quarterback 484 00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:32,960 Speaker 1: broke his leg in towards Achilles. On top of Sauce 485 00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:36,560 Speaker 1: getting injured Charvarius having you know, a million concussion issues 486 00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:39,199 Speaker 1: and all of a sudden your season just crumbles. So 487 00:25:39,560 --> 00:25:41,560 Speaker 1: it's just a it's just while it's a great year 488 00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:44,400 Speaker 1: for Houston to Miko gave a sweet, kind of fiery 489 00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:48,040 Speaker 1: speech in the locker room. I love Tomko Ryans. The 490 00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:51,199 Speaker 1: colt's got to be like, what the hell? And you know, 491 00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:54,120 Speaker 1: Carly's been on the sideline taking notes, listen to everything. 492 00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:57,880 Speaker 1: Gonna be fascinating to see what happens because she's been 493 00:25:58,160 --> 00:26:01,320 Speaker 1: you know, that family's been pretty loyal to Chris and 494 00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:03,920 Speaker 1: at the end of the day, like it's a result 495 00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:08,639 Speaker 1: oriented business and their results just have not equaled success. 496 00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:11,600 Speaker 1: But they have not made the playoffs. Meanwhile, other teams 497 00:26:11,600 --> 00:26:14,159 Speaker 1: in their division are going to the playoffs constantly. So 498 00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:18,400 Speaker 1: I mean the Jacks turned it around like that. Now 499 00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:20,879 Speaker 1: you could argue Trevor Lawrence if he's gonna play like this, 500 00:26:20,920 --> 00:26:29,920 Speaker 1: it's just better than anything they have at quarterback. Want 501 00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:31,879 Speaker 1: to know where I bet on football during the holiday season. 502 00:26:32,040 --> 00:26:34,880 Speaker 1: It's Hard Rock Bet, not just because they're the presenting 503 00:26:34,920 --> 00:26:38,359 Speaker 1: sponsor of this podcast, but because they make it easy 504 00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:41,840 Speaker 1: to bet both before kickoff and between snaps.

A couple other things before 522 00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:56,800 Speaker 1: we get out of here. You know one big story. 523 00:27:57,400 --> 00:28:00,439 Speaker 1: I think two things can be true. The organization can 524 00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:04,080 Speaker 1: be right and the player can be right. Story went viral. 525 00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:07,320 Speaker 1: I think within the last twenty four hours. I am 526 00:28:07,320 --> 00:28:09,280 Speaker 1: getting my days mixed up. I guess it would have 527 00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:12,040 Speaker 1: been on Friday. Jay Glazer put it out and then 528 00:28:12,080 --> 00:28:16,359 Speaker 1: Pete Carroll talked about it that they told Max Crosby 529 00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:17,960 Speaker 1: they were gonna sit him down, and then by the 530 00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:19,800 Speaker 1: time you're listening to this, they put out Stateman's getting 531 00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:23,160 Speaker 1: knee surgery. Though if you watch the Houston Texan game, 532 00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:26,480 Speaker 1: I would argue that Max Crosby was the best player 533 00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:29,040 Speaker 1: on the field, like in the game with the team 534 00:28:29,160 --> 00:28:32,040 Speaker 1: full of star players, I think the Houston Texans have 535 00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:34,119 Speaker 1: I think they showed it to five guys going to 536 00:28:34,119 --> 00:28:36,160 Speaker 1: the Pro Bowl, so it's like they got a high 537 00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:38,680 Speaker 1: end group of players and that doesn't even include their quarterback. 538 00:28:38,720 --> 00:28:40,400 Speaker 1: And the best player on the field that day was 539 00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:43,080 Speaker 1: Max Crosby. And they still we're shutting you down. And 540 00:28:43,120 --> 00:28:45,360 Speaker 1: if you're the Raiders, like don't want really tanks in 541 00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:49,280 Speaker 1: the NFL until like right now, you don't suck all 542 00:28:49,360 --> 00:28:52,320 Speaker 1: season long to then win the last couple of games, 543 00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:55,800 Speaker 1: it's completely pointless, especially when you don't have a quarterback, 544 00:28:56,240 --> 00:28:58,560 Speaker 1: when you're gonna have a lot of movement this offseason, 545 00:28:59,080 --> 00:29:01,120 Speaker 1: it is the right move because Max Crosby against the 546 00:29:01,120 --> 00:29:04,480 Speaker 1: Giants and this version of the Chiefs could literally single 547 00:29:04,520 --> 00:29:06,840 Speaker 1: handedly win them a game. I mean he was trying 548 00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:08,600 Speaker 1: to do that against the Texans, who are probably a 549 00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:11,840 Speaker 1: twelve win team. So you tell him, listen, we're sitting 550 00:29:11,920 --> 00:29:14,560 Speaker 1: you down. It's the right move by the organization. And 551 00:29:14,640 --> 00:29:15,920 Speaker 1: do you know what you want out of a player? 552 00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:18,400 Speaker 1: And I've been told this by countless people in the league, 553 00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:21,480 Speaker 1: and John Spytech said this last year before the season 554 00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:24,360 Speaker 1: when he came on there. They love Max Crosby. He 555 00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:27,400 Speaker 1: is literally everything you would want in an NFL player, 556 00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:30,600 Speaker 1: from a worth a work ethics standpoint, from a love 557 00:29:30,920 --> 00:29:35,240 Speaker 1: of the game standpoint, from a loyalty to the franchise standpoint. 558 00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:39,000 Speaker 1: He loves the Raiders for some reason, right. I Mean, 559 00:29:40,080 --> 00:29:42,800 Speaker 1: no one would blame any player if they're like I 560 00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:45,120 Speaker 1: want out of an organization like this, and he's kind 561 00:29:45,120 --> 00:29:48,640 Speaker 1: of done the opposite. Now he's been compensated, but he is, 562 00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:54,680 Speaker 1: as I would say, as bought into a team as 563 00:29:54,760 --> 00:29:57,000 Speaker 1: anyone in the league for his effort and his energy 564 00:29:57,040 --> 00:30:00,680 Speaker 1: for a team that never does anything, and you know 565 00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:03,479 Speaker 1: a lot of times the Raiders a Khalil Mack. He's like, well, 566 00:30:03,480 --> 00:30:04,680 Speaker 1: if you can't pay me to get the fucking rid 567 00:30:04,720 --> 00:30:07,240 Speaker 1: of me, see, you couldn't get out of there fast enough. 568 00:30:07,280 --> 00:30:10,480 Speaker 1: Mary Cooper did the same thing. Max a lot like 569 00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:13,720 Speaker 1: Derek Carr that they were very, very loyal to the 570 00:30:13,840 --> 00:30:17,680 Speaker 1: Raiders brand, which, let's face it is a little abnormal 571 00:30:17,880 --> 00:30:21,080 Speaker 1: in the Internet era. And I do think you got 572 00:30:21,120 --> 00:30:23,760 Speaker 1: to ask yourself. So listen, I admire just like I'm 573 00:30:23,760 --> 00:30:26,920 Speaker 1: sure the Raiders admire, like I do not not want 574 00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:30,440 Speaker 1: to play. And he was. I saw a clip where 575 00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:32,240 Speaker 1: he said this, and I don't blame him, Like I 576 00:30:32,240 --> 00:30:34,440 Speaker 1: don't care about a draft pick. How would he care 577 00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:36,320 Speaker 1: about a draft pick. He was on the team when 578 00:30:36,320 --> 00:30:38,240 Speaker 1: they had a top ten pick and they took the 579 00:30:38,280 --> 00:30:42,000 Speaker 1: pass rusher from Texas Tech, who's terrible. He's seen guys 580 00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:45,680 Speaker 1: get drafted high and stink. He's seen random guys. He 581 00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:48,320 Speaker 1: is one. He gets drafted on the third day and 582 00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:50,720 Speaker 1: become good. Play. A draft pick for the Raiders doesn't 583 00:30:50,760 --> 00:30:52,640 Speaker 1: mean shit. So he's like, yeah, you can tell me. 584 00:30:52,640 --> 00:30:54,600 Speaker 1: Fernando Mendoz is the best player in the draft. We 585 00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:57,040 Speaker 1: could get him, and it doesn't equal more wins for us, 586 00:30:57,120 --> 00:31:00,160 Speaker 1: It doesn't guarantee anything. So I understand his mindset too. 587 00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:04,200 Speaker 1: So I think both teams. I saw Ted Newinn who 588 00:31:05,560 --> 00:31:09,360 Speaker 1: Rice free athletic Barry guy, big Raider fan said it perfectly. 589 00:31:09,400 --> 00:31:12,080 Speaker 1: He tweeted it out like both can be correct. Max 590 00:31:12,120 --> 00:31:14,560 Speaker 1: and the Raiders are both right on this. Now, I 591 00:31:14,600 --> 00:31:17,880 Speaker 1: also think you need to ask yourself this. I do 592 00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:19,880 Speaker 1: think this offseason has kind of come to a fork 593 00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:21,880 Speaker 1: in the road, like he still has a lot of value, 594 00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:25,120 Speaker 1: and this situation is not apples to apples because this 595 00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:28,240 Speaker 1: guy wanted to huge contract and the Chiefs were hesitant 596 00:31:28,280 --> 00:31:31,000 Speaker 1: to give him one, and they traded him. But when 597 00:31:31,080 --> 00:31:35,120 Speaker 1: Jared Allen, who had become a star in seven and 598 00:31:35,160 --> 00:31:37,560 Speaker 1: he kind of became at a contractual impasse, got traded 599 00:31:37,560 --> 00:31:40,200 Speaker 1: in the Minnesota Vikings to change his career forever, went 600 00:31:40,240 --> 00:31:43,200 Speaker 1: to a high level organization and then ended up becoming 601 00:31:43,240 --> 00:31:45,440 Speaker 1: a Hall of Famer and played in a bunch of 602 00:31:45,440 --> 00:31:49,000 Speaker 1: big games. And I do think Max this offseason one 603 00:31:49,720 --> 00:31:52,880 Speaker 1: could net them multiple first round picks. To me, the 604 00:31:53,520 --> 00:31:56,040 Speaker 1: minimum would be like two ones in a three And 605 00:31:56,080 --> 00:31:57,480 Speaker 1: this is a guy. It's not like he's a twenty 606 00:31:57,520 --> 00:31:59,800 Speaker 1: four year old guy. He's twenty eight years old. But 607 00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:04,840 Speaker 1: he's that good. He's durable. I mean, he's been hurt 608 00:32:04,880 --> 00:32:08,200 Speaker 1: all year. He doesn't miss any games. He sober like 609 00:32:08,360 --> 00:32:10,600 Speaker 1: several years ago. So he doesn't drink, doesn't party, gets 610 00:32:10,800 --> 00:32:14,080 Speaker 1: no trouble. He's honestly, he's an all in guy. You 611 00:32:14,120 --> 00:32:16,720 Speaker 1: can't ask for anything more. He's honestly. I would say 612 00:32:16,760 --> 00:32:18,840 Speaker 1: most people in the NFL like one of their favorite 613 00:32:18,840 --> 00:32:23,800 Speaker 1: players because he represents everything that you want from a guy, right, 614 00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:25,960 Speaker 1: the effort level which you go, well, you paid a 615 00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:28,400 Speaker 1: lot of money, should play hard. You know, football could 616 00:32:28,440 --> 00:32:31,400 Speaker 1: be very hit or miss, especially with guys at that position, 617 00:32:32,200 --> 00:32:35,680 Speaker 1: take plays off on a shitty team. He never does, 618 00:32:36,360 --> 00:32:41,560 Speaker 1: so I think this offseason. You know, I follow a 619 00:32:41,560 --> 00:32:44,200 Speaker 1: lot of like forty nine er accounts on Instagram. Mark 620 00:32:44,280 --> 00:32:47,560 Speaker 1: Davis would do a belly flop off the Golden gate 621 00:32:47,680 --> 00:32:49,640 Speaker 1: Bridge before he ever traded in the forty nine ers. 622 00:32:49,880 --> 00:32:52,360 Speaker 1: The forty nine ers would never be able to acquire 623 00:32:52,440 --> 00:32:55,640 Speaker 1: Max Crosby. Now, I don't think they would trade him 624 00:32:55,640 --> 00:32:58,600 Speaker 1: into the AFC. So I think the NFC, which is 625 00:32:58,640 --> 00:33:01,360 Speaker 1: also full of teams that would be very, very very interested, right. 626 00:33:01,760 --> 00:33:03,440 Speaker 1: I think the Eagles would be all over. I think 627 00:33:03,480 --> 00:33:06,200 Speaker 1: the Bears would be all over. I think the Lions 628 00:33:06,200 --> 00:33:10,000 Speaker 1: would have to contemplate it very very strongly. He's a 629 00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:13,000 Speaker 1: Michigan guy. They need defensive help. You pair him up 630 00:33:13,040 --> 00:33:16,440 Speaker 1: with Hutchinson. Now you just got a dynamic pass rush. 631 00:33:16,720 --> 00:33:18,640 Speaker 1: I think there are so many teams in the NFC 632 00:33:19,440 --> 00:33:23,320 Speaker 1: that I think would bid heavily for Max Crosby services. 633 00:33:23,320 --> 00:33:24,680 Speaker 1: And I think if you're the Raiders at this point 634 00:33:24,680 --> 00:33:28,840 Speaker 1: in time, you have two goals right now, lose out now. 635 00:33:28,840 --> 00:33:30,640 Speaker 1: I also think the Chiefs are lingering, Like if I'm 636 00:33:30,680 --> 00:33:33,600 Speaker 1: Andy Reid at this point, I'm trying to if you 637 00:33:33,880 --> 00:33:36,920 Speaker 1: lose or excuse me, yeah, you lose to the Giants, 638 00:33:37,280 --> 00:33:38,920 Speaker 1: meaning you were in the driver's seat to get the 639 00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:41,520 Speaker 1: number one overall pick, I'm trying to ruin it for you. 640 00:33:42,120 --> 00:33:45,480 Speaker 1: I'm trying to ruin your season, you know. And I 641 00:33:45,520 --> 00:33:50,240 Speaker 1: would imagine that you just throw out OKELANEU or whatever 642 00:33:50,280 --> 00:33:52,720 Speaker 1: guy's name is. You might not even have to try 643 00:33:52,760 --> 00:33:55,320 Speaker 1: that hard. I mean, he's just not that good, and 644 00:33:55,440 --> 00:33:57,240 Speaker 1: at this point in time, the Chiefs just aren't that good. 645 00:33:57,560 --> 00:33:59,720 Speaker 1: So that's part of the reasoning to not put Max 646 00:33:59,720 --> 00:34:02,080 Speaker 1: out there because he plays every game like it's a 647 00:34:02,120 --> 00:34:04,360 Speaker 1: super Bowl, and in a game like that where you know, 648 00:34:04,440 --> 00:34:06,320 Speaker 1: Chris jones by then could be doing one, two three, 649 00:34:06,320 --> 00:34:09,040 Speaker 1: can't couon, wouldn't even blame him, you know, Kelsey. They 650 00:34:09,200 --> 00:34:12,000 Speaker 1: basically did as a retirement tour the other night, which 651 00:34:12,239 --> 00:34:14,719 Speaker 1: I understand why they hyped it up so much, like 652 00:34:14,760 --> 00:34:16,719 Speaker 1: it felt like his last home game ever, which I 653 00:34:16,760 --> 00:34:19,800 Speaker 1: also admire that, like he probably knows it and just 654 00:34:19,840 --> 00:34:22,319 Speaker 1: didn't say anything like this isn't I'm not doing some tour. 655 00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:25,719 Speaker 1: I'm a team guy first. That's why we've won. This 656 00:34:25,760 --> 00:34:28,920 Speaker 1: isn't about me. He had a big final drive that 657 00:34:28,920 --> 00:34:32,160 Speaker 1: got him in position to almost have a chance to 658 00:34:32,200 --> 00:34:34,880 Speaker 1: win it, But that that was the other thing. Like 659 00:34:34,960 --> 00:34:38,000 Speaker 1: Denver kind of a weird team, right, They play in 660 00:34:38,040 --> 00:34:40,480 Speaker 1: a lot of weird games, they really do. Now. Bo 661 00:34:40,920 --> 00:34:42,440 Speaker 1: had the big touchdown run I think at the end 662 00:34:42,440 --> 00:34:45,640 Speaker 1: of the third quarter. Obviously the fantastic final drive where 663 00:34:45,680 --> 00:34:47,359 Speaker 1: he hit Harvey in the back of the end zone 664 00:34:47,440 --> 00:34:49,359 Speaker 1: for the touchdown, which was a great play as well, 665 00:34:49,400 --> 00:34:51,360 Speaker 1: but he had a bunch of big throws on that drive. 666 00:34:51,880 --> 00:34:54,160 Speaker 1: Kind of got just a little clutch thing going toward him, 667 00:34:54,280 --> 00:34:56,279 Speaker 1: even though he can have stretches in the gamer like, God, 668 00:34:56,280 --> 00:34:59,759 Speaker 1: this guy looks awful. But listen, it's not, you know, 669 00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:02,160 Speaker 1: apples to apples because they had Patrick Mahomes. But a 670 00:35:02,200 --> 00:35:05,319 Speaker 1: couple of years ago when they beat who they beat, 671 00:35:05,320 --> 00:35:06,799 Speaker 1: they beat the forty nine ers. That year, I think 672 00:35:06,800 --> 00:35:09,279 Speaker 1: they were eleven and five. The Chiefs did not have 673 00:35:09,320 --> 00:35:11,960 Speaker 1: a great season. They had a lot of weird games. Hell, 674 00:35:12,040 --> 00:35:13,880 Speaker 1: even last year when they made the Super Bowl, they 675 00:35:13,920 --> 00:35:16,560 Speaker 1: had a lot of weird games. So now Denver does 676 00:35:16,600 --> 00:35:19,960 Speaker 1: not at the track record, but they've had a bunch 677 00:35:19,960 --> 00:35:22,399 Speaker 1: of weird games for a team that more than likely 678 00:35:22,440 --> 00:35:25,400 Speaker 1: is gonna be the number one overall seat. So just 679 00:35:25,440 --> 00:35:28,120 Speaker 1: a bizarre My wife kept saying, like, wait, the Ravens 680 00:35:28,120 --> 00:35:30,640 Speaker 1: aren't in the playoffs. The Chiefs aren't in the playoffs either, 681 00:35:30,719 --> 00:35:33,239 Speaker 1: Like what's going on. I'm like, yeah, it's a weird year. 682 00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:36,560 Speaker 1: It really is. And we know every year, and we've 683 00:35:36,600 --> 00:35:41,880 Speaker 1: talked about this, that did every year several teams I 684 00:35:41,880 --> 00:35:44,520 Speaker 1: think on average, like four teams that made the playoffs 685 00:35:44,560 --> 00:35:47,160 Speaker 1: the previous year missed the playoffs. But I would say 686 00:35:47,160 --> 00:35:50,640 Speaker 1: the Ravens they were the betting favorite coming into the 687 00:35:50,640 --> 00:35:53,440 Speaker 1: season to win the Super Bowl them in the Buffalo Bills, 688 00:35:54,040 --> 00:35:56,640 Speaker 1: and more than likely they're gonna miss the playoffs. Right. 689 00:35:56,880 --> 00:35:59,799 Speaker 1: The Chiefs had been the fives of the last six 690 00:35:59,840 --> 00:36:03,960 Speaker 1: two and they're probably gonna go six and eleven. So 691 00:36:04,160 --> 00:36:09,080 Speaker 1: it's just a bizarre year. And it's the NFL. And 692 00:36:09,200 --> 00:36:11,560 Speaker 1: I think for the first time, I was playing golf 693 00:36:11,560 --> 00:36:13,680 Speaker 1: with some buddies. You know, it's like seventy degrees here, 694 00:36:13,719 --> 00:36:15,800 Speaker 1: so you can get out in the morning in shorts 695 00:36:15,800 --> 00:36:18,719 Speaker 1: and in a colored shirt, and I was sweating by 696 00:36:18,719 --> 00:36:21,759 Speaker 1: whole three for those of you guys in frigid conditions. 697 00:36:22,239 --> 00:36:24,800 Speaker 1: But my buddy, my buddy, Jeff Fong, he goes like, 698 00:36:24,800 --> 00:36:26,120 Speaker 1: who do you think is gonna win the Super Bowl? 699 00:36:26,520 --> 00:36:29,319 Speaker 1: And I'm like, honestly, of the fourteen teams we've been 700 00:36:29,320 --> 00:36:31,680 Speaker 1: talking about this that are gonna make the playoffs, I 701 00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:33,880 Speaker 1: do think you can make a legit case for like 702 00:36:33,960 --> 00:36:37,400 Speaker 1: ten of them, like to win the super Bowl. Definitely 703 00:36:37,480 --> 00:36:40,600 Speaker 1: to win their conference. Right, you would take the bit 704 00:36:40,719 --> 00:36:45,520 Speaker 1: of the Panthers or the Bucks. Everyone is gonna pick 705 00:36:45,560 --> 00:36:48,120 Speaker 1: them to lose in the first round. And the Packers 706 00:36:48,160 --> 00:36:51,000 Speaker 1: now feel like they have no shot to win the NFC, 707 00:36:51,760 --> 00:36:53,440 Speaker 1: but I think you could make a case for all 708 00:36:53,480 --> 00:36:56,920 Speaker 1: three NFC West teams. The forty nine Ers were gonna 709 00:36:56,920 --> 00:37:00,080 Speaker 1: really see what they're made of tomorrow night against a 710 00:37:00,160 --> 00:37:03,880 Speaker 1: much better Bears team than the teams they've been playing, obviously, 711 00:37:04,040 --> 00:37:08,200 Speaker 1: you know Seattle and the Rams, the Bears and the Eagles. Listen, 712 00:37:08,239 --> 00:37:09,560 Speaker 1: they've had a weird year, but they got a lot 713 00:37:09,600 --> 00:37:12,480 Speaker 1: of good players. And then you look at the AFC Denver, 714 00:37:12,760 --> 00:37:15,120 Speaker 1: New England, I mean, Jacksonville. What they just did at Denver, 715 00:37:15,160 --> 00:37:18,680 Speaker 1: it's like, to me, they're a legitimate AFC contender. Houston, 716 00:37:18,800 --> 00:37:23,000 Speaker 1: Buffalo's got Josh Allen. The Chargers feel a little bit unlikely, 717 00:37:23,120 --> 00:37:25,279 Speaker 1: but it's like you know, Jim Harbord, justin Herbert, like 718 00:37:25,560 --> 00:37:28,399 Speaker 1: they could take down anyone in a given game. And 719 00:37:29,640 --> 00:37:32,759 Speaker 1: you know, we'll see the Pittsburgh interesting to see what 720 00:37:32,800 --> 00:37:36,239 Speaker 1: they got. But very very excited, pretty good day of 721 00:37:36,280 --> 00:37:39,279 Speaker 1: football tomorrow. Definitely got a couple of big games by 722 00:37:39,320 --> 00:37:42,600 Speaker 1: Buffalo Philly. Now I'm fired up for that one. And 723 00:37:42,640 --> 00:37:45,440 Speaker 1: obviously the night game forty nine Ers against the Bears, 724 00:37:45,440 --> 00:37:49,600 Speaker 1: that's that's that's an awesome Sunday night game. Sunday night. 725 00:37:49,840 --> 00:37:53,800 Speaker 1: You know, Tomorrow's probably Monday nights the the Rams playing Atlanta, 726 00:37:53,840 --> 00:37:58,040 Speaker 1: which which isn't great, but might not matter as much 727 00:37:58,080 --> 00:38:01,520 Speaker 1: for the Rams depending on what happens tomorrow. A couple 728 00:38:01,600 --> 00:38:03,680 Speaker 1: things before we get out of here. My friends at 729 00:38:03,680 --> 00:38:07,600 Speaker 1: hard Rock Bet. There are three games that I love. 730 00:38:07,680 --> 00:38:12,359 Speaker 1: Seattle of Carolina. One. Their record with Mike McDonald through 731 00:38:12,400 --> 00:38:14,919 Speaker 1: two years. I think they're thirteen and two on the road. 732 00:38:15,160 --> 00:38:17,120 Speaker 1: This year they're six and one. They have been a 733 00:38:17,320 --> 00:38:20,920 Speaker 1: dominant road team. I also don't think Carolina matches up 734 00:38:20,920 --> 00:38:23,520 Speaker 1: well against them. You know, you watch Carolina last week 735 00:38:23,520 --> 00:38:27,040 Speaker 1: against Tampa. Tampa's defense is atrocious, can't cover anybody, can't 736 00:38:27,080 --> 00:38:31,000 Speaker 1: rush the passer. Bryce's running around making plays. I think 737 00:38:31,040 --> 00:38:34,960 Speaker 1: Seattle that goes Hey, we win next two weeks. We're 738 00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:38,720 Speaker 1: the number one overall seed. We just beat the Rams 739 00:38:38,760 --> 00:38:41,840 Speaker 1: last week. We're coming off that mini by. It's a 740 00:38:41,840 --> 00:38:44,640 Speaker 1: lot of points, but I'm gonna take Seattle minus seven 741 00:38:44,680 --> 00:38:48,719 Speaker 1: in this game. I'm a little nervous. Divisional games could 742 00:38:48,760 --> 00:38:51,360 Speaker 1: get weird. We just saw at Kansas City, Denver. But 743 00:38:51,760 --> 00:38:54,160 Speaker 1: I do think the Browns are terrible. You know, last 744 00:38:54,160 --> 00:38:57,480 Speaker 1: week Judkins breaks his leg. He's was just a dominant 745 00:38:57,600 --> 00:39:00,640 Speaker 1: you know, young player for them, so you were remove him, 746 00:39:00,880 --> 00:39:04,040 Speaker 1: you get Pittsburgh with that just goes we win this game. 747 00:39:04,080 --> 00:39:06,120 Speaker 1: This thing's over and we don't have to think about 748 00:39:06,200 --> 00:39:09,360 Speaker 1: next week now. The guy that leads their team in targets, 749 00:39:09,400 --> 00:39:13,120 Speaker 1: lead their team in yards. Losing DK is not ideal, 750 00:39:13,280 --> 00:39:16,840 Speaker 1: especially given their wide receiver room isn't exactly like Antonio 751 00:39:16,920 --> 00:39:19,960 Speaker 1: Brown and Plaxico burs Are walking through that door. But 752 00:39:20,239 --> 00:39:23,120 Speaker 1: I'm just gonna take Rogers and Tomlin in this spot, 753 00:39:23,239 --> 00:39:26,560 Speaker 1: which can be a little weird home you know road, 754 00:39:26,800 --> 00:39:30,640 Speaker 1: you know big favorites divisional game, like it's you like 755 00:39:30,680 --> 00:39:34,560 Speaker 1: Tomlin as like the home dog. But I've taken Pittsburgh 756 00:39:34,560 --> 00:39:36,600 Speaker 1: minus three and a half in this game basically just 757 00:39:36,719 --> 00:39:40,120 Speaker 1: I'm shortened the Browns and I'm just kind of taking 758 00:39:40,120 --> 00:39:43,319 Speaker 1: the mojo going into like let's just end this thing 759 00:39:44,120 --> 00:39:46,920 Speaker 1: and win this game. Even though like they got suspensions. 760 00:39:46,960 --> 00:39:50,520 Speaker 1: I think TJ. Watts still out little nurse now this 761 00:39:50,600 --> 00:39:53,879 Speaker 1: game I don't like. I love if there was still 762 00:39:53,880 --> 00:39:56,040 Speaker 1: like five or six weeks remaining in the season, I 763 00:39:56,080 --> 00:39:58,480 Speaker 1: do think the Saints could win the division. I don't 764 00:39:58,480 --> 00:40:01,200 Speaker 1: even think it's debatable right now. The Saints are the 765 00:40:01,200 --> 00:40:04,600 Speaker 1: best team in that division and Tyler Shuck who I've 766 00:40:04,640 --> 00:40:07,080 Speaker 1: seen some people say if we did a redraft, would 767 00:40:07,080 --> 00:40:11,719 Speaker 1: Tyler Shuck go number one overall? I don't know if 768 00:40:11,760 --> 00:40:14,759 Speaker 1: that's true, but there is no disputing that. Like if 769 00:40:14,760 --> 00:40:17,000 Speaker 1: you just watch Tyler Shuck play over the last month 770 00:40:17,040 --> 00:40:19,840 Speaker 1: and you like watch cam Ward play, you go like, 771 00:40:19,960 --> 00:40:21,720 Speaker 1: I don't see that big of a gap. Now. Cam's 772 00:40:21,719 --> 00:40:23,640 Speaker 1: actually made some plays over the last couple of weeks, 773 00:40:23,719 --> 00:40:27,040 Speaker 1: looked a lot better now, and he's played the Chiefs 774 00:40:27,040 --> 00:40:29,960 Speaker 1: and the forty nine ers, But Tyler Shuck's been really good. 775 00:40:30,480 --> 00:40:33,600 Speaker 1: The Saints just looked like solid and you know Tennessee's 776 00:40:33,600 --> 00:40:35,800 Speaker 1: coming off big win. Beat the shit out of the Chiefs. 777 00:40:35,800 --> 00:40:38,080 Speaker 1: But I like the Saints on the road minus two 778 00:40:38,120 --> 00:40:40,400 Speaker 1: and a half, Like Tyler Schuck train just keep on 779 00:40:40,520 --> 00:40:43,279 Speaker 1: rolling and Kellen Moore to kind of end the season 780 00:40:43,280 --> 00:40:44,759 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, you're gonna look up. It's like, wait, 781 00:40:44,800 --> 00:40:46,200 Speaker 1: the Saints just went seven to ten. I thought they 782 00:40:46,239 --> 00:40:48,040 Speaker 1: were like a three win teams, Like, no, they got 783 00:40:48,080 --> 00:40:50,440 Speaker 1: Tyler Shuck baby, and kind of kind of going too 784 00:40:50,440 --> 00:40:53,760 Speaker 1: this offseason with the feeling pretty good about their quarterback situation. 785 00:40:53,960 --> 00:40:57,360 Speaker 1: So we will see everybody in about twenty four hours. 786 00:40:57,840 --> 00:41:01,879 Speaker 1: Hopefully everyone enjoys some NFL football tomorrow and we will 787 00:41:01,920 --> 00:41:11,720 Speaker 1: talk soon.
