14
00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:56,840
Speaker 1: NFL Week one in the Books, the one and only

15
00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:00,360
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow joined us for the first of his weekly appearances.

16
00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:05,040
Speaker 1: How's he feel Rough? Opener? He and Jamar Chase all

17
00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:08,640
Speaker 1: time stuff. My buddy Dave Wantstad two of his forward teams,

18
00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:12,560
Speaker 1: the Bears and Dolphins got surprising Week one double us

19
00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:16,520
Speaker 1: plus Chad Millman Sharper Square Week two NFL bets first though,

20
00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:23,399
Speaker 1: my top takes of the week. So you know, there's

21
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:26,520
Speaker 1: some things in the NFL that are really hard to predict.

22
00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:31,120
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, I'm watching Washington and Jacksonville yesterday.

23
00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:34,559
Speaker 1: It was just a bit of a mess. I'm watching

24
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:36,720
Speaker 1: the Niners and the Bears and the weather and two

25
00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:40,160
Speaker 1: young quarterbacks. It's a bit of a mess. The easiest

26
00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:42,720
Speaker 1: thing to predict in the NFL to me was Green

27
00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:47,400
Speaker 1: Bay struggling with Minnesota on the road. And you know,

28
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:51,280
Speaker 1: this is something that Aaron Rodgers tries to give off

29
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:53,720
Speaker 1: this air of mystery, but the truth is he's the

30
00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:57,480
Speaker 1: most predictable guy in the NFL. Is that you knew

31
00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:01,560
Speaker 1: it would be an issue. Two small school rookie wide

32
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:05,360
Speaker 1: receivers opening on the road in Minnesota in the biggest

33
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:08,600
Speaker 1: stadium they've ever played in. You know, they make the

34
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:12,360
Speaker 1: mistakes that small school wide receivers would make debuting in

35
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:15,880
Speaker 1: the NFL in a division game, and he ghosted them.

36
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:19,480
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers did what we said all offseason long, this

37
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:22,080
Speaker 1: is what he does. He goes friends, he goes teammates.

38
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:26,280
Speaker 1: Christian Watson dropped a pass. He didn't throw his way

39
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:29,520
Speaker 1: again until the fourth quarter. Oh dude, you're not going

40
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:32,280
Speaker 1: to beat Justin Jefferson in Minnesota thrown to A. J.

41
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:36,360
Speaker 1: Dillon and then the young receiver from Nevada, Romeo Dubbs.

42
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:40,000
Speaker 1: There was a miscommunication early. It happens, it's loud. He

43
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:43,840
Speaker 1: played at Nevada in a small stadium, small conference, little

44
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:48,080
Speaker 1: miscommunication and Aaron Rodgers ghosts him and Matt Lafleur had

45
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:51,399
Speaker 1: to use both of them in reverses to get them

46
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:53,480
Speaker 1: back into the game because Aaron wouldn't throw to them.

47
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:56,919
Speaker 1: So I know a lot of you love Aaron Rodgers,

48
00:02:56,919 --> 00:03:03,840
Speaker 1: but it was so absolutely predictable. Colin Christian Watson dropped

49
00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:07,840
Speaker 1: an easy touchdown. Since twenty nineteen, do you know what

50
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:12,320
Speaker 1: quarterbacks have dealt with the most drops from their receivers

51
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:16,200
Speaker 1: and tight ends? Tom Brady one, Josh Allen two, Patrick

52
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:22,320
Speaker 1: Mahomes three, Aaron Rodgers thirteen. He didn't have that many drops.

53
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:29,280
Speaker 1: So occasionally rookie wide receivers are a little over their skis. Okay,

54
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:32,320
Speaker 1: if you throw a lot, you get drops. In this league,

55
00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:37,560
Speaker 1: everybody's quarterback who struggles. Wow, we had receivers dropped the ball.

56
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:42,920
Speaker 1: Brady Alan Mahomes lead the NFL in drops since twenty nineteen.

57
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:48,000
Speaker 1: Do they go back to those wide receivers. Damn straight

58
00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:51,720
Speaker 1: they do. You can't be petty and hold grudges during

59
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:55,960
Speaker 1: football games. Guys open, get in the rock. Now, offensive

60
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 1: line play. They had some injuries. Don't make excuses. Tom

61
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:02,520
Speaker 1: Brady's offensive line was a mess. He looked good. Trubisky's

62
00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:06,320
Speaker 1: with a mess. He won. Justin Field's offensive line, he's

63
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:09,160
Speaker 1: been a mess for two years. He won. Yeah, Green

64
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:15,160
Speaker 1: Bay had some injuries. But Aaron Rodgers once again, he's single.

65
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:18,599
Speaker 1: He's never had kids. You learn something when you have children.

66
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:22,800
Speaker 1: You have to understand they make a lot of mistakes.

67
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:26,440
Speaker 1: You don't ghost him. And this has been my thing

68
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:29,640
Speaker 1: with Aaron. Never married, no kids. He didn't have to

69
00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:33,000
Speaker 1: sacrifice much. He didn't have to show a lot of patients.

70
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:35,360
Speaker 1: He wants to go play golf, he can play golf.

71
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:36,680
Speaker 1: He wants to work out, he can work out. He

72
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:39,000
Speaker 1: wants to go to a concert. That's not the way

73
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:41,599
Speaker 1: it works when you're surrounded with others in the same house.

74
00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:48,920
Speaker 1: Sometimes I feel like in the entertainment industry, musicians, actors, athletes,

75
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:52,200
Speaker 1: if they're really successful and they get rich early in

76
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:56,640
Speaker 1: their twenties, they get a little self indulgent a little

77
00:04:56,680 --> 00:05:01,600
Speaker 1: self absorbed, and it's hard to deal with the word

78
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:05,120
Speaker 1: no or sacrifice. I mean, it's like Tom Cruise. Tom

79
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:07,760
Speaker 1: Cruise was a rock star, like late twenties, early thirties.

80
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:11,560
Speaker 1: Suddenly he's an expert on anti depressants. Suddenly we have

81
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:14,400
Speaker 1: to know about his religion. It's like, dude, you're a

82
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:17,159
Speaker 1: great movie star. Be a movie star. And I find

83
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:22,120
Speaker 1: his Aaron's gotten richer and older. Now I know what

84
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:24,880
Speaker 1: he thinks about every opinion in politics now, and I

85
00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:27,679
Speaker 1: know what he thinks about our government. He's making comments

86
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:31,760
Speaker 1: to Bill Maher about the state of California. It's like, Bro,

87
00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:34,640
Speaker 1: I'm not a shut up and dribble guy. I'm not

88
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:37,280
Speaker 1: a stay in your lane guy. I'm really not actors.

89
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:39,119
Speaker 1: You guys talk about whatever you want to talk about.

90
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:42,560
Speaker 1: But I do think with Aaron, when you're successful and

91
00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:45,640
Speaker 1: rich early, you don't have to sacrifice. You kind of

92
00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:49,400
Speaker 1: get what you want all the time. And I think

93
00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:53,359
Speaker 1: if you have young receivers, you have to understand people

94
00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:56,680
Speaker 1: can't play to your standard. Aaron goes, what about the

95
00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:59,159
Speaker 1: standard of Green Bay? Well, what about it? You're Aaron Rodgers.

96
00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:01,359
Speaker 1: You can't expect the two year old rookie wide receiver

97
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:04,600
Speaker 1: to play to your standard on the road, first NFL game,

98
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:08,359
Speaker 1: They're not going to play to your standard. You really

99
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:12,320
Speaker 1: think Tom Brady thinks a rookie tight end is going

100
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:16,320
Speaker 1: to play to his standard. And when I watched him

101
00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:19,599
Speaker 1: ghost those wide receivers yesterday, I thought that was so

102
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:25,040
Speaker 1: absolutely predictable. Of course, they made mistakes. They were small

103
00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:27,960
Speaker 1: college wide receivers. They never had played in front of

104
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:31,720
Speaker 1: sixty thousand people before, forget a divisional game against the Vikings.

105
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:37,360
Speaker 1: So Ian Rappaport tweeting that Dak Prescott is probably back

106
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:44,360
Speaker 1: October thirtieth, which means seven more games without Dak Prescott. Well,

107
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:50,800
Speaker 1: here's the good news. Bears Lions Washington at home. Also

108
00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:53,560
Speaker 1: the New York Giants. That game's on the road. Can

109
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:56,800
Speaker 1: you win three of those four? If you can, you're

110
00:06:56,880 --> 00:07:00,279
Speaker 1: three and five with Cooper Rush. Dak comes back in

111
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:05,480
Speaker 1: that division, I think you're fine. Listen the NFC right now,

112
00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:10,000
Speaker 1: goog at the standings, Google the standings. Rams offensive lines

113
00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:16,000
Speaker 1: an issue. Arizona looks to be a mess right green

114
00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:21,280
Speaker 1: Bay scored seven points. Start looking around. Tom Brady's offensive

115
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:25,080
Speaker 1: line in shambles. They just lost left tackle Donovan Smith,

116
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:28,840
Speaker 1: San Francisco, Trey Lance. Will they be able to score?

117
00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:32,400
Speaker 1: It's not the end of the season. Can Cooper Rush

118
00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:36,720
Speaker 1: win you three of the remaining seven games Bears, Lions,

119
00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:40,840
Speaker 1: Giants at home in Washington? Those are winnable games. I mean,

120
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:44,320
Speaker 1: Cooper Rush is a backup for a reason, but it

121
00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:47,760
Speaker 1: doesn't mean that backups can't win in this league. So again,

122
00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:50,840
Speaker 1: is the sky falling? Well, we didn't think the Cowboys

123
00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:57,520
Speaker 1: were great anyway, three and five Dak returns. I wouldn't

124
00:07:57,600 --> 00:08:00,520
Speaker 1: leave the building to try to find a solution. I

125
00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:03,880
Speaker 1: wouldn't give up draft capital and a player for Jimmy Garoppolo.

126
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:09,119
Speaker 1: Cowboys need draft capital, Okay, they need salary cap space.

127
00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:12,480
Speaker 1: And by the way, Niners, after Trey Lance's opener, they're

128
00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:16,360
Speaker 1: not giving up Jimmy Garoppolo either. How many how many

129
00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:18,840
Speaker 1: draft picks would you have to give San Francisco to

130
00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:22,520
Speaker 1: get Jimmy Garoppolo? Now, So the sky isn't falling. This

131
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:25,680
Speaker 1: isn't the Buffalo Bills or Kansas City. It's not much

132
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:27,400
Speaker 1: of a fall. This was going to be like an

133
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:30,880
Speaker 1: eight win team. Maybe they're now seven. But I think

134
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:33,880
Speaker 1: your answers in the building, can Cooper rush play? Is

135
00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:35,880
Speaker 1: he good enough to go three and five? I think

136
00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:41,840
Speaker 1: he is. The eleven quarterbacks that did not take a

137
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:47,080
Speaker 1: snap in the preseason went three and eight. Think about that.

138
00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:51,800
Speaker 1: Some were Aaron Rodgers, Russell Wilson, you know, think about

139
00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:55,800
Speaker 1: this three and eight. So we talk about that preseason

140
00:08:57,120 --> 00:08:59,760
Speaker 1: and we talk about, oh, I don't want to get hurt.

141
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:02,559
Speaker 1: You can work out so many things. Give an example

142
00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:08,080
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson in that meltdown with four minutes left in Seattle.

143
00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:11,600
Speaker 1: For Russell Wilson, one of the things that's interesting. You

144
00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:16,280
Speaker 1: can't create a crisis at practice that is anything like

145
00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:21,120
Speaker 1: playing in Seattle. You're being booed. There's nothing that duplicates that. Now,

146
00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:23,960
Speaker 1: a preseason game isn't that either, but it's a real

147
00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:28,640
Speaker 1: game and situationally, the Seahawks, with a first year head

148
00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:31,200
Speaker 1: coach and a new coordinator and a new quarterback on

149
00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:36,520
Speaker 1: the road, look flustered. And why didn't Russell Wilson going

150
00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:38,880
Speaker 1: to be a Pro Football Hall of Fame quarterback? Time out?

151
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:42,760
Speaker 1: Time out, time out. Let's get organized here. So Richard Sherman,

152
00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:47,000
Speaker 1: also new to the Volume podcast, says that Russell Wilson

153
00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:49,920
Speaker 1: doesn't have that power in Denver. Yet Peyton Manning had

154
00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:52,880
Speaker 1: it in his career, Patrick Mahomes has it now, Tom

155
00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:55,679
Speaker 1: Brady's had it in his career. That Russell Wilson at

156
00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:58,240
Speaker 1: this point may not have that power to just say

157
00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:02,160
Speaker 1: time out, I'm taken over. And it's almost as Russell

158
00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:06,559
Speaker 1: Wilson was too respectful, nice guy, first year head coach,

159
00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:10,440
Speaker 1: rookie head coach. You know, it reminds me. Malcolm Gladwell

160
00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:13,200
Speaker 1: wrote a book called Outliers, and he talked about Korean Airlines.

161
00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:16,840
Speaker 1: So they had a spate of crashes in the eighties

162
00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:20,800
Speaker 1: and nineties Korean airlines. And whenever you have an airline crash,

163
00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:24,720
Speaker 1: it's generally not one catastrophic event. It is a series

164
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:29,880
Speaker 1: of mistakes. On average seven mistakes or errors for every

165
00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:32,440
Speaker 1: plane crash, and they're very few. But in the eighties

166
00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:35,319
Speaker 1: and nineties Korean air was having a problem, and at

167
00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:38,200
Speaker 1: the root of the problem was because of the culture

168
00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:43,440
Speaker 1: that the first officer was overly respectful to the captain.

169
00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:47,280
Speaker 1: That's the theory that Malcolm Gladwell presents, and that if

170
00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:50,000
Speaker 1: the plane was running low on fuel, the first officer

171
00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:52,680
Speaker 1: wouldn't raise his voice. If he talked to the tower.

172
00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:56,640
Speaker 1: He would never call it an emergency. He was overly

173
00:10:56,800 --> 00:11:01,480
Speaker 1: respectful to the captain, the hierarchy, and obviously that's much

174
00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:04,280
Speaker 1: more serious than a quarterback in a time out. But

175
00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:09,080
Speaker 1: it does show you sometimes that being overly respectful there

176
00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:13,080
Speaker 1: are drawbacks to it, and it's sometimes being blunt and

177
00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:19,040
Speaker 1: taking over is really really important in critical situations. And

178
00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:23,480
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson, a lot more experienced, is a much better

179
00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:27,400
Speaker 1: quarterback than Nathaniel Hackett is a coach. Why doesn't he

180
00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:30,160
Speaker 1: just go time out? This is my stadium, I played

181
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:33,840
Speaker 1: here for a decade. I'm calling time out. I'm taking over.

182
00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:38,319
Speaker 1: But instead Russell churned, as Richard Sherman said, and respectfully

183
00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:41,280
Speaker 1: looks to the rookie coach. Hey, I'm part of the team.

184
00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:44,880
Speaker 1: Not really, you're the catalyst for the team. Remember Tom

185
00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:51,200
Speaker 1: Brady barking at coaches, barking at his offensive lineman right

186
00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:54,560
Speaker 1: that Bears Thursday night game. His first year with the Bucks.

187
00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:57,040
Speaker 1: He wasn't deferential to anybody. It didn't carefully. He was

188
00:11:57,040 --> 00:11:59,360
Speaker 1: a new guy in the town. He told a team,

189
00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:02,520
Speaker 1: We're going to practices at Jesuit High School in Tampa.

190
00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:05,520
Speaker 1: I don't care if they're illegal, get over here right,

191
00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:09,080
Speaker 1: yelling at offensive lineman. I don't care if you've been

192
00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:10,560
Speaker 1: here before me. I don't even care if you're a

193
00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:13,240
Speaker 1: pro bowler. I'm the quarterback of the football team. I'm

194
00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:17,000
Speaker 1: seventy percent of the offense. So I think sometimes you

195
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:22,520
Speaker 1: know everybody. Generationally, it's said be thoughtful and be nice,

196
00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:27,160
Speaker 1: and be deferential to bosses. Sometimes you gotta take it

197
00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:29,880
Speaker 1: into your own hands, and I think Russell Wilson was

198
00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:35,080
Speaker 1: too deferential to Nathaniel Hackett. Seventy five percent of coordinators

199
00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:41,240
Speaker 1: flail bomb as head coaches. That's Russell Wilson's team. That

200
00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:48,600
Speaker 1: is Russell Wilson's team today and until he leaves. Put

Speaker 1: to the Super Bowl overcame an unbelievably difficult injury. He

235
00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:40,120
Speaker 1: is going to be part of the volume going forward,

236
00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:42,320
Speaker 1: we hope for a long time. I mean, we got

237
00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:45,160
Speaker 1: Draymond Green, we got Richard Sherman, and we got Joe Burrow.

238
00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:48,240
Speaker 1: Those were are three targets. Those are the guys we wanted.

239
00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:52,400
Speaker 1: So our recruiting class was sensational at the volume. Whoever,

240
00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:55,680
Speaker 1: our recruiting coordinator is kicked ass, that's all I know.

241
00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:58,080
Speaker 1: And Joe Burrow is joining us. Well, first of all,

242
00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:00,880
Speaker 1: I wish you were joining us in better circumstances. So

243
00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:04,920
Speaker 1: let's let's talk about this. Though. Brady said something that

244
00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:07,560
Speaker 1: was pretty interesting the other day. He said, at forty five,

245
00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:11,440
Speaker 1: I feel every hit when I wake up the next day.

246
00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:14,840
Speaker 1: Everything he said I have bruises all over my arms.

247
00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:20,680
Speaker 1: You probably you know, young great shape athlete, don't, But

248
00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:24,440
Speaker 1: in a situation like Sunday, that's probably the best pass

249
00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:27,560
Speaker 1: rush you will face all year. That is probably it.

250
00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:31,200
Speaker 1: Do you wake up the next day and think, shit, man,

251
00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:34,840
Speaker 1: that I can feel that? Could you feel it? Yeah?

252
00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:36,560
Speaker 1: After a game? I mean we played one hundred and

253
00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:40,040
Speaker 1: four snaps, so I was definitely sore the next day.

254
00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:42,440
Speaker 1: But you know, like you said, I'm young, So today

255
00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:45,240
Speaker 1: I got my two workouts in. After that, you know,

256
00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:47,360
Speaker 1: I'm feeling it tom better. And I've bruised like a

257
00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:49,920
Speaker 1: piece so my body ever since high school, I've bruised

258
00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:53,400
Speaker 1: like a peach. People will be horrified if they saw

259
00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:55,960
Speaker 1: me after games taking my pads off, of my shirt off.

260
00:15:56,000 --> 00:16:00,320
Speaker 1: But I feel a lot better than I look. Let's

261
00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:04,400
Speaker 1: go back to the appendectomy surgery. That's a major surgery.

262
00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:07,480
Speaker 1: You know. Everybody thinks, oh, it's it's an appendix. Now

263
00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:11,200
Speaker 1: you're going inside a body and taking something out. And again,

264
00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:16,800
Speaker 1: I've had minor surgeries and it takes your body weeks

265
00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:19,240
Speaker 1: to recover from that. So I looked at you and

266
00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:21,680
Speaker 1: I thought, well, he didn't get a lot of snaps

267
00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:26,560
Speaker 1: and this is the best pass rush he's facing. Plus

268
00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:30,040
Speaker 1: Mike Tomlin's teams, whenever they're underdogs in division, they played

269
00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:32,400
Speaker 1: with their hair on fire. Like it was like everybody

270
00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:34,320
Speaker 1: was saying, Oh good God, the Steelers will play their

271
00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:37,080
Speaker 1: their defensive game of the year. Did you feel on

272
00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:39,560
Speaker 1: a couple of the throws, man, I could have used

273
00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:41,880
Speaker 1: like twelve more practices. I could have used more reps.

274
00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:46,880
Speaker 1: Maybe you never want to make excuses for a performance.

275
00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:49,880
Speaker 1: Obviously not my best in the first half. I thought

276
00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:51,960
Speaker 1: I responded well in the fourth quarter and put us

277
00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:54,640
Speaker 1: in a position to win the game. But obviously you'd

278
00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:57,520
Speaker 1: like to have a lot of those throws and decisions

279
00:16:57,560 --> 00:17:00,480
Speaker 1: back in that first half going into the beginning of

280
00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:04,080
Speaker 1: that third quarter. So you don't make excuses about whether

281
00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:06,159
Speaker 1: you had a training camp or not. You know, we

282
00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:11,280
Speaker 1: went went into my rookie year without any offseason, and yeah,

283
00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:15,159
Speaker 1: no excuses there either, So no excuses from from the

284
00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:18,760
Speaker 1: surgery from camp. But I like how we responded in

285
00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:22,240
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter. You have a quality that it reminds

286
00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:24,679
Speaker 1: me so much of Andrew Luck. I was a huge

287
00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:28,760
Speaker 1: Andrew Luck fan, and I saw Andrew do this at

288
00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:31,560
Speaker 1: college at Stanford. He was playing USC in the coliseum

289
00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:33,840
Speaker 1: and I was there late in the game. He'd played

290
00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:36,199
Speaker 1: beautifully and he had a really bad pick six and

291
00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:37,720
Speaker 1: it was, you know, it was just kind of a

292
00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:41,879
Speaker 1: simple out. He didn't read the corner at all, and

293
00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:44,520
Speaker 1: he throws a pick six at the coliseum. He comes

294
00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:46,439
Speaker 1: over to David Sean. He puts his hands on his

295
00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:49,240
Speaker 1: helmet and he's I can see him where I'm sitting,

296
00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:53,720
Speaker 1: and he's grinning like, oh, I'm an idiot. He came

297
00:17:53,720 --> 00:18:00,040
Speaker 1: back with an absolutely dart after dart after dart, and

298
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:02,680
Speaker 1: this is this is hard. This game gets into your head.

299
00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:05,119
Speaker 1: I mean, you got T. J. Watt coming after you.

300
00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:07,760
Speaker 1: It's it's it's your rival. You you throw a pick.

301
00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:11,680
Speaker 1: You and luck tend to be short memory guys. So

302
00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:15,960
Speaker 1: my takeaway is, you know Dad's a coach. Does it

303
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:19,600
Speaker 1: come from Dad? What did you transition into that in

304
00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:22,320
Speaker 1: high school? Did interceptions bother you? Like? Where does that

305
00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:24,160
Speaker 1: come from? Because I don't think a lot of these

306
00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:28,359
Speaker 1: young quarterbacks haven't. Yeah, I kind of I have my

307
00:18:28,359 --> 00:18:31,800
Speaker 1: own way of dealing with it. I let it consume

308
00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:35,520
Speaker 1: me for about thirty seconds, and I'm ad at the world.

309
00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:38,000
Speaker 1: I'm ad at myself. I'm mad at everything that's going on.

310
00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:40,119
Speaker 1: I'm about as frustrated as you can get. And then

311
00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:43,679
Speaker 1: after that's up, I can kind of just flip a

312
00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:45,639
Speaker 1: switch and forget about it and move on to the

313
00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:47,880
Speaker 1: next play. Look at the pictures on the sideline, see

314
00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:50,880
Speaker 1: why it happened, well my thought process was, and then

315
00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:58,120
Speaker 1: put it behind me. Are most interceptions overly aggressive misread timing?

316
00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:01,320
Speaker 1: If I had to categorize them, and you know, four boxes,

317
00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:03,879
Speaker 1: if you look at your career, where did most of

318
00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:10,440
Speaker 1: them come from? Mine have been mostly over aggressiveness thinking

319
00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:12,480
Speaker 1: I could maybe fit a ball in here where I

320
00:19:12,520 --> 00:19:17,720
Speaker 1: probably shouldn't have tried. The amount of misread coverages that

321
00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:20,640
Speaker 1: I've had are few and far between. I had had

322
00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:23,400
Speaker 1: one of those on Sunday. But for the most part,

323
00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:25,280
Speaker 1: it's over aggressiveness. And then you also have to give

324
00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:27,399
Speaker 1: the defense credit. I mean, I had I had one

325
00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:30,040
Speaker 1: on Sunday that TJ watch has jumped in the air

326
00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:32,800
Speaker 1: and grabbed it on a on a six yard throw

327
00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:36,000
Speaker 1: that not every defensive player can make that kind of play,

328
00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:38,440
Speaker 1: So you got to give credit to defense when when

329
00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:41,119
Speaker 1: you have those situations and then you know learn from them.

330
00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:43,200
Speaker 1: On your end. You want to throw them on Monday

331
00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:45,560
Speaker 1: so you can get better, see what you did well

332
00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:49,000
Speaker 1: and go from there. You probably to me, you have

333
00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:51,800
Speaker 1: the two best pass rushers in football, or Miles Garrett

334
00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:53,920
Speaker 1: and t J. Watt, and you face them four times

335
00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:57,520
Speaker 1: totally a year when you line up kind of the

336
00:19:57,560 --> 00:20:01,199
Speaker 1: same game. Are there things? Do you see them as

337
00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:04,600
Speaker 1: totally different athletes? Obviously they're coming on that same side

338
00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:08,000
Speaker 1: rush end um. I mean, do you just see them

339
00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:12,360
Speaker 1: as great players or do they have habits? Do they

340
00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:17,760
Speaker 1: have tells? They're great players? Really, our in our division,

341
00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:20,199
Speaker 1: the pass rushers in our in our division, or the

342
00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:23,800
Speaker 1: best in football um AFC West top to bottom can

343
00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:27,879
Speaker 1: probably rival a rivalry. But I mean t J. Watt,

344
00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:32,920
Speaker 1: Miles Garrett, Cam Hayward at three technique, you got jadeveon Clowney,

345
00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:35,600
Speaker 1: you got Justin Houston with the Ravens. You got the

346
00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:39,080
Speaker 1: Oa kid for the Ravens, and you got Trey Henderson

347
00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:42,600
Speaker 1: Sam Hubbard on our team. I mean, they're really unbelievable

348
00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:45,040
Speaker 1: pass rushers and so we we we've got good, good

349
00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:47,720
Speaker 1: plans for him when when we plan them. But they're

350
00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:50,080
Speaker 1: gonna they're gonna get sacks. That's what they do. That's

351
00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:51,560
Speaker 1: what they get paid a lot, a lot of money

352
00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:53,760
Speaker 1: to do. So they're gonna get there. So you's got

353
00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:56,320
Speaker 1: to try to limit it and protect the ball. So

354
00:20:56,520 --> 00:21:00,040
Speaker 1: eleven quarterbacks didn't take a snap in preseason. You it

355
00:20:59,880 --> 00:21:02,040
Speaker 1: was because of surgery. Some guys just didn't want to

356
00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:04,760
Speaker 1: do it. I get it. The more we pay quarterbacks,

357
00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:07,439
Speaker 1: you know, maybe the more protective they are, Like, I

358
00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:11,280
Speaker 1: totally get it. But the quarterbacks that didn't take snaps,

359
00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:14,760
Speaker 1: and there were many great ones, went three and eight right,

360
00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:18,719
Speaker 1: And you know, some guys quarterbacks have told me through

361
00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:21,479
Speaker 1: the years they like to get popped, you know, they

362
00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:25,439
Speaker 1: like to get hit. So this year, Mahomes, by the way,

363
00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:29,800
Speaker 1: does play and was great on Sunday. Next year, given

364
00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:33,840
Speaker 1: a choice, would you want to play some in the preseason, Yeah,

365
00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:36,840
Speaker 1: I would have liked to play on this year. That

366
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:39,880
Speaker 1: was my plan going in. We hadn't discussed that with

367
00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:44,040
Speaker 1: our coaching staff at camp because you know, I had

368
00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:47,080
Speaker 1: the surgery the day before camp started and so we

369
00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:49,440
Speaker 1: just didn't have the opportunity. But that was going to

370
00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:50,919
Speaker 1: be a request of mine. I'd like to play at

371
00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:54,120
Speaker 1: least a series, just get the feeling of live bullets,

372
00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:57,159
Speaker 1: get out there with the guys, field of communication in

373
00:21:57,160 --> 00:22:00,439
Speaker 1: a game setting, and I think that's pretty underrated. So

374
00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:04,960
Speaker 1: next year I would like to, but no, we'll see. Listen,

375
00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:06,880
Speaker 1: you led the Super Bowl with two and it's left.

376
00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:11,000
Speaker 1: You're not only a franchise quarterback. You're able to do

377
00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:14,040
Speaker 1: what very few in my sportscasting career can do. Go

378
00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:18,359
Speaker 1: to an organization that's struggling, young coach, old line, struggling.

379
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:21,760
Speaker 1: You know again, it's Andrew Luck, and you turn it around.

380
00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:26,400
Speaker 1: So listen, losing sucks and you haven't lost a lot,

381
00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:29,879
Speaker 1: and so it was a go either way game. You lose,

382
00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:34,000
Speaker 1: where do you go emotionally after that? Because the history

383
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:37,000
Speaker 1: of the league is Super Bowl loser is never good

384
00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:39,320
Speaker 1: the next year? And I said on the air, I said,

385
00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:42,280
Speaker 1: it feels different for Cincinnati, Like, I think they're going

386
00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:44,119
Speaker 1: to be really good. I don't know what Cleveland doing

387
00:22:44,119 --> 00:22:47,320
Speaker 1: at quarterback. I'm not sure if Pittsburgh's got the quarterback

388
00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:49,480
Speaker 1: button down. I'm like, I don't know. I feel like

389
00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:55,159
Speaker 1: they addressed the interior, old line, they have a pass rush, receivers, quarterback, Like,

390
00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:58,800
Speaker 1: I don't see the weakness. But did you just say

391
00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:01,439
Speaker 1: I'm getting the hell out of football for two weeks,

392
00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:04,920
Speaker 1: like I have to just go hide. Yeah, I mean

393
00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:08,440
Speaker 1: that was about you know, I still got my workouts, say,

394
00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:10,199
Speaker 1: and I still that's what I enjoyed doing. That's how

395
00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:13,840
Speaker 1: I relax. I get get some workouts and so got

396
00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:17,160
Speaker 1: to the weight room, did that. But you know, watch

397
00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:19,399
Speaker 1: the film the day after of the Super Bowl and

398
00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:22,200
Speaker 1: then put it behind me, didn't talk about it, didn't

399
00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:25,720
Speaker 1: think about it, tried to move on to this year.

400
00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:29,840
Speaker 1: And I mean we got sixteen games left. Bad, bad start,

401
00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:32,840
Speaker 1: but we were one on one last year. We got

402
00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:35,280
Speaker 1: a chance to be one on one this year, going

403
00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:38,200
Speaker 1: into Dallas, big game on the road for come out

404
00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:41,320
Speaker 1: with that or be feeling a lot better. Joe Burrow

405
00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:46,280
Speaker 1: today and Joe Burrow first start in the NFL. So

406
00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:49,520
Speaker 1: I want you to go back if you can. Where

407
00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:55,560
Speaker 1: are you significantly better today than you were all those

408
00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:59,800
Speaker 1: starts ago? At the line of scrimmage, I really understand,

409
00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:03,080
Speaker 1: you know the plays that aren't going to work versus

410
00:24:03,119 --> 00:24:05,639
Speaker 1: a certain look. And you know I have enough reps

411
00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:08,880
Speaker 1: under my belt that I know what play to get

412
00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:13,560
Speaker 1: to against that same look. Just because year three in

413
00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:16,800
Speaker 1: the system, I've seen a lot of more football than

414
00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:20,640
Speaker 1: I had, you know, that first year, and same coaches

415
00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:24,600
Speaker 1: basically since my rookie season, and I think that's I mean,

416
00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:27,199
Speaker 1: that's so underrated across the league. You see a lot

417
00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:31,720
Speaker 1: of these young guys with a different offensive coordinator each year,

418
00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:35,320
Speaker 1: and you're running a new offense, new language, new way

419
00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:38,240
Speaker 1: of talking about every play each year, and I don't

420
00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:40,720
Speaker 1: I'm not sure that's a recipe for success. And so

421
00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:45,280
Speaker 1: you know, the way that the front office has surrounded

422
00:24:45,320 --> 00:24:50,040
Speaker 1: me with really good, smart people that understand the game,

423
00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:52,760
Speaker 1: that play hard, and then the coaches that give us

424
00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:54,679
Speaker 1: a great game plan each week. I mean, I really

425
00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:57,040
Speaker 1: couldn't have asked for a better situation to come into

426
00:24:57,080 --> 00:25:02,560
Speaker 1: the league too. You know you one of the things

427
00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:05,639
Speaker 1: that you did early in your career is you you know,

428
00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:08,399
Speaker 1: you told the front office we should get Jamar Chase

429
00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:11,840
Speaker 1: and people said, geez, Joe, your offensive line and you're like, no,

430
00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:16,080
Speaker 1: this guy is completely different. Which Jamar Chase is one

431
00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:17,760
Speaker 1: of the you get about one a year in college

432
00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:20,320
Speaker 1: football where you're watching a player in college and you're like, oh,

433
00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:23,439
Speaker 1: that's a pro football player just playing on Saturdays, Like

434
00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:27,160
Speaker 1: he's way better. So yeah, not all the quarterbacks would

435
00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:32,040
Speaker 1: be comfortable with that, knowing that you needed like protection.

436
00:25:32,119 --> 00:25:34,399
Speaker 1: I mean, it's part of the rebuild on that offensive front.

437
00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:36,800
Speaker 1: Did you make a decision one day to just say,

438
00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:39,280
Speaker 1: I'm just going to go and tell our front office guys,

439
00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:42,399
Speaker 1: you're making a How did you preface it? How do

440
00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:44,679
Speaker 1: you go about, as a young quarterback going to a

441
00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:47,160
Speaker 1: general manager or going to an executive in saying that.

442
00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:49,720
Speaker 1: So I didn't go up there and do it. I

443
00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:53,159
Speaker 1: think well made me feel great. Was they came to

444
00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:56,639
Speaker 1: me and asked me, I think, you know, as a quarterback,

445
00:25:56,960 --> 00:26:00,480
Speaker 1: as somebody that has felt like they've earned spect in

446
00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:04,000
Speaker 1: the league when all we want to feel is to

447
00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:08,159
Speaker 1: feel included in decisions whether we are or we aren't.

448
00:26:10,080 --> 00:26:11,600
Speaker 1: You know, they just kept me in the loop. They

449
00:26:11,600 --> 00:26:14,959
Speaker 1: asked me my opinion on Jamar and I said, I mean,

450
00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:18,000
Speaker 1: he's a home run. He just makes the game look easy.

451
00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:23,440
Speaker 1: There's not a lot of people like him. I mean,

452
00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:26,480
Speaker 1: the way he catches the ball, runs routes, makes people

453
00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:29,520
Speaker 1: miss when he gets the ball, shrugs defenders off. I mean,

454
00:26:29,560 --> 00:26:33,240
Speaker 1: he's really just incredible. He played ninety five snaps on

455
00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:38,480
Speaker 1: Sunday and I mean, that's not normal. And our Z

456
00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:41,840
Speaker 1: receiver goes down he gets a concussion in the first quarter,

457
00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:44,600
Speaker 1: and so we're moving Jamar from X to Z to

458
00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:47,479
Speaker 1: the slot and he's playing ninety five snaps. I mean,

459
00:26:47,520 --> 00:26:51,560
Speaker 1: he's a really smart, cerebral football player that just goes hard.

460
00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:54,600
Speaker 1: Did you know instantly first LSU practice he was this

461
00:26:55,800 --> 00:26:57,479
Speaker 1: So he was the first person that I threw with

462
00:26:57,520 --> 00:27:00,639
Speaker 1: when I got to LSU. I didn't know anybody that

463
00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:03,160
Speaker 1: I go in on Saturday, and Jama is the first

464
00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:07,840
Speaker 1: person in there with me. I'd be lying if I

465
00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:10,000
Speaker 1: said I knew that he was going to become exactly

466
00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:12,520
Speaker 1: what he is now. But we kind of grew up

467
00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:18,119
Speaker 1: as football players together understood. I mean, he was he

468
00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:21,280
Speaker 1: didn't play a lot his freshman year, but you know,

469
00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:24,600
Speaker 1: I saw the talent and he caught my first touchdown

470
00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:28,920
Speaker 1: pass at LSU, And like I said, we just grew

471
00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:32,800
Speaker 1: up as football players together at the college level, and

472
00:27:32,840 --> 00:27:35,439
Speaker 1: then the same thing at the NFL level, And so

473
00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:41,320
Speaker 1: we have this rare connection and unspoken understanding of routes,

474
00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:43,399
Speaker 1: and when we get to the line of scrimmage, you

475
00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:46,120
Speaker 1: could just be a look that you know, he knows

476
00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:48,520
Speaker 1: what I want. I know what he wants, and I

477
00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:51,080
Speaker 1: think that's rare. So I have this kind of weird

478
00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:57,359
Speaker 1: theory that quarterbacks have become American royalty. So when I

479
00:27:57,400 --> 00:27:59,800
Speaker 1: was a kid in the seventies, the biggest stars in

480
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:03,600
Speaker 1: sports were like shortstops, like the Yankee shortstop or a

481
00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:08,159
Speaker 1: Dodger shortstop or an NBA star. Internationally, the biggest stars

482
00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:13,040
Speaker 1: are like tennis stars or a soccer star. But football

483
00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:17,160
Speaker 1: now has taken over our world. Quarterbacks are now being

484
00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:21,080
Speaker 1: paid for social stuff, for shoe stuff. You are the

485
00:28:21,119 --> 00:28:25,840
Speaker 1: biggest stars in America. And it's probably just a coincidence,

486
00:28:26,680 --> 00:28:29,119
Speaker 1: but over the last ten to twelve to fifteen years,

487
00:28:29,760 --> 00:28:33,479
Speaker 1: I think there's an advantage to playing in Buffalo, New Orleans,

488
00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:39,120
Speaker 1: Green Bay, Cincinnati, Indianapolis, Kansas City. They're not large media markets.

489
00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:43,160
Speaker 1: You can literally hide because you guys are literally you know,

490
00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:48,640
Speaker 1: you are superstars. And it's like a big part of

491
00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:52,480
Speaker 1: the NFL star quarterback group. It's right in the middle

492
00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:56,720
Speaker 1: of the country. New York's quarterbacks not as pronounced. You know,

493
00:28:56,800 --> 00:29:01,240
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson left Seattle and you talk about a perfect situation,

494
00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:04,640
Speaker 1: I'm like, Cincinnati's perfect. You get a yard, you can

495
00:29:04,680 --> 00:29:06,960
Speaker 1: have dogs, you're not close to your parents. It's not

496
00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:09,880
Speaker 1: a big media market, and I feel like there's an

497
00:29:09,920 --> 00:29:14,440
Speaker 1: advantage to Joe Burrow, who's the Joe Namoth of this generation.

498
00:29:14,560 --> 00:29:19,280
Speaker 1: Kind of cool national title. You can pretty much hide

499
00:29:19,320 --> 00:29:25,240
Speaker 1: in Cincinnati, can't you. Well, I think I'm uniquely positioned to,

500
00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:29,560
Speaker 1: you know, have success in Cincinnati because I'm from Ohio.

501
00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:32,680
Speaker 1: I understand the people of Ohio, so I have this

502
00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:36,479
Speaker 1: connection to the fan base that I don't think a

503
00:29:36,480 --> 00:29:40,000
Speaker 1: lot of other quarterbacks across the league have. I understand them,

504
00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:43,760
Speaker 1: they understand me. It's just something about growing up in

505
00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:47,160
Speaker 1: the same area of the country that unites people from

506
00:29:47,200 --> 00:29:49,960
Speaker 1: that area, and everybody feels it where they're from. When

507
00:29:49,960 --> 00:29:53,160
Speaker 1: they get back to their hometown, it feels different than

508
00:29:53,720 --> 00:29:56,680
Speaker 1: you know, when they go to New York or La.

509
00:29:56,960 --> 00:30:01,560
Speaker 1: Just I understand these people and they understand me, and

510
00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:06,000
Speaker 1: I think that has kind of drawn drawn them to

511
00:30:06,080 --> 00:30:08,600
Speaker 1: me and drawn me to them, and it's really been

512
00:30:08,800 --> 00:30:11,760
Speaker 1: a perfect match. Well, i's gonna say you had to transfer.

513
00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:16,040
Speaker 1: People in Ohio feel overlooked fly over country? Is that

514
00:30:16,080 --> 00:30:20,520
Speaker 1: what you mean? Yeah, exactly, It's nothing nothing easy in Ohio.

515
00:30:20,680 --> 00:30:24,760
Speaker 1: You grew up, you grew up tough adversity. You got

516
00:30:24,760 --> 00:30:27,200
Speaker 1: to push through it. And people that come out on

517
00:30:27,280 --> 00:30:30,040
Speaker 1: top or are great people. I stay here in the

518
00:30:30,080 --> 00:30:34,200
Speaker 1: offseason just because I'm an Ohio guy. I love the people,

519
00:30:34,480 --> 00:30:37,240
Speaker 1: love the place. It's been great. You have to have dogs,

520
00:30:37,280 --> 00:30:42,520
Speaker 1: don't you now, I'm actually I'm more of a cat guy. Wow,

521
00:30:45,800 --> 00:30:51,320
Speaker 1: what a revelation. Well, but cats are curious. Also, you're busy,

522
00:30:52,120 --> 00:30:57,080
Speaker 1: so like dogs are work. Yeah, right, exactly. So I

523
00:30:58,320 --> 00:31:00,719
Speaker 1: had cats or I had one cat growing, and I

524
00:31:00,720 --> 00:31:04,760
Speaker 1: had had a lizard. I had turtles, but no dogs.

525
00:31:05,360 --> 00:31:08,920
Speaker 1: Never was allowed to have a dog. Wow. Well taste,

526
00:31:09,080 --> 00:31:11,440
Speaker 1: they're great, but their work. I have to clean stuff

527
00:31:11,520 --> 00:31:13,800
Speaker 1: up in the yard every single day. It's it's like

528
00:31:13,800 --> 00:31:16,640
Speaker 1: a child. It's like a child. It's a child that

529
00:31:16,720 --> 00:31:20,600
Speaker 1: poops in the yard. That's exactly what it is. And

530
00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:22,960
Speaker 1: I had two of them and they're amazing. So I

531
00:31:23,800 --> 00:31:25,840
Speaker 1: when you put the jacket on, and I cut a

532
00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:27,840
Speaker 1: promo where I put your glasses in your jacket on.

533
00:31:27,960 --> 00:31:33,680
Speaker 1: But I do believe that it's like a fight. Mike Tyson.

534
00:31:33,720 --> 00:31:35,520
Speaker 1: Remember when Mike Tyson was in his prime and he

535
00:31:35,560 --> 00:31:38,840
Speaker 1: would only wear black shorts and a hoodie that was

536
00:31:38,920 --> 00:31:42,080
Speaker 1: ripped off, and so I believe that was all part

537
00:31:42,120 --> 00:31:45,840
Speaker 1: of him saying, I'm fighting to death. I don't want

538
00:31:45,880 --> 00:31:49,120
Speaker 1: any glitz. I don't want anything. This is I am.

539
00:31:49,240 --> 00:31:52,840
Speaker 1: I want to be as spartan, as minimalistic as I

540
00:31:52,840 --> 00:31:54,760
Speaker 1: can be. I don't want any fruit fru stuff. I don't.

541
00:31:55,040 --> 00:31:57,040
Speaker 1: And I really thought that was part of his mindset,

542
00:31:57,080 --> 00:31:58,640
Speaker 1: like Mike was just I want to look like I'm

543
00:31:58,680 --> 00:32:02,080
Speaker 1: going to spar And when I watch you come into games,

544
00:32:02,120 --> 00:32:06,480
Speaker 1: I think, Oh, that's a mindset. Joe's cool, Joe's confident,

545
00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:09,720
Speaker 1: Joe's the man. Now that's probably a reach by me,

546
00:32:10,120 --> 00:32:12,920
Speaker 1: but I have the fans. But I Joe. Before I

547
00:32:12,920 --> 00:32:15,160
Speaker 1: do every show, I go hide for ten to twelve

548
00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:18,120
Speaker 1: minutes and I just get it in my head. I'm performing.

549
00:32:18,320 --> 00:32:21,440
Speaker 1: It's my opening rant. I'm performing. Jerry Seinfeld does that.

550
00:32:21,720 --> 00:32:25,080
Speaker 1: Seinfeld is signed autographs fifteen minutes before the show. Jerry's like,

551
00:32:25,360 --> 00:32:27,480
Speaker 1: I gotta go hide. I've got to get into it.

552
00:32:27,520 --> 00:32:30,360
Speaker 1: You're performing. So when I watch you and your outfits,

553
00:32:30,440 --> 00:32:33,320
Speaker 1: my takeaways, Oh no, he's getting into his space. This game.

554
00:32:33,400 --> 00:32:36,160
Speaker 1: He wakes up. It's game day. Am I wrong on that?

555
00:32:37,720 --> 00:32:42,280
Speaker 1: You're not You're not far off. You know, I always

556
00:32:42,320 --> 00:32:45,080
Speaker 1: felt like, you look good, you feel good, you play good,

557
00:32:45,760 --> 00:32:49,080
Speaker 1: And whether that was my uniform or what I wore

558
00:32:49,120 --> 00:32:52,680
Speaker 1: to the game, it used to be suits every single game,

559
00:32:53,120 --> 00:32:55,320
Speaker 1: try to look sharp. And then you know, I kind

560
00:32:55,360 --> 00:32:58,120
Speaker 1: of evolved as a person and have found things that

561
00:32:58,200 --> 00:33:02,600
Speaker 1: I like that I enjoy wearing and got all of

562
00:33:02,800 --> 00:33:04,920
Speaker 1: I wouldn't Some of the stuff I would never wear

563
00:33:05,120 --> 00:33:08,320
Speaker 1: out to dinner. But like you said, game day is different.

564
00:33:09,520 --> 00:33:12,640
Speaker 1: It's it's a mindset. It's you're going in there too.

565
00:33:13,880 --> 00:33:15,320
Speaker 1: I mean, it's not a fight, but you're going to

566
00:33:15,400 --> 00:33:18,360
Speaker 1: go in there and go to war with guys that

567
00:33:18,800 --> 00:33:21,680
Speaker 1: get paid just like you two and work just as

568
00:33:21,720 --> 00:33:23,800
Speaker 1: hard as you do throughout the week to try to

569
00:33:23,840 --> 00:33:25,320
Speaker 1: take something from you, and you gotta go take it

570
00:33:25,360 --> 00:33:33,800
Speaker 1: from them. He's the former Dolphin and Bear head coach.

571
00:33:33,920 --> 00:33:38,520
Speaker 1: They both posted double us this weekend. How about that

572
00:33:38,600 --> 00:33:43,280
Speaker 1: Dave Wantstad's joining Let's start. Let's start in Chicago. So

573
00:33:43,680 --> 00:33:46,200
Speaker 1: you know, I said this, it's not a great offensive line.

574
00:33:46,520 --> 00:33:49,400
Speaker 1: They have one receiver I like to defensive head coach

575
00:33:49,480 --> 00:33:53,200
Speaker 1: and the Niners had to me much better personnel. It

576
00:33:53,280 --> 00:33:57,160
Speaker 1: wasn't spectacular, but I thought he played a pretty smart

577
00:33:57,240 --> 00:34:00,560
Speaker 1: fourth quarter. He didn't make a lot of big mistakes.

578
00:34:00,880 --> 00:34:04,480
Speaker 1: My takeaway was on kind of a if I would

579
00:34:04,480 --> 00:34:07,800
Speaker 1: grade him based on what he had how he played late.

580
00:34:08,440 --> 00:34:11,360
Speaker 1: I thought Justin Fields was okay. I thought it was okay.

581
00:34:11,400 --> 00:34:14,760
Speaker 1: How did you view it? I felt the same way.

582
00:34:15,080 --> 00:34:18,600
Speaker 1: He did a couple of things in that game that

583
00:34:18,760 --> 00:34:21,200
Speaker 1: he would have never done a year ago. So that

584
00:34:21,280 --> 00:34:26,400
Speaker 1: tells me that he is maturing mentally. And he showed

585
00:34:26,440 --> 00:34:30,120
Speaker 1: something on the first touchdown play when he got flushed

586
00:34:30,120 --> 00:34:33,960
Speaker 1: out of the pocket yep and he rode out and

587
00:34:34,560 --> 00:34:38,040
Speaker 1: the Bears and Justin Fields talked about this this summer

588
00:34:38,480 --> 00:34:41,440
Speaker 1: that he had never worked on a scramble drill before.

589
00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:45,200
Speaker 1: In other words, when the quarterback scrambles like it was

590
00:34:45,280 --> 00:34:48,520
Speaker 1: to elect the receivers on that side worked back to

591
00:34:48,560 --> 00:34:52,120
Speaker 1: the ball. They give him specific specific things what to

592
00:34:52,239 --> 00:34:55,120
Speaker 1: do on a scramble and the receivers away kind of

593
00:34:55,400 --> 00:34:59,160
Speaker 1: drift away to get away from all the defenders. Well,

594
00:34:59,200 --> 00:35:01,480
Speaker 1: a year ago, there's not a doubt in my mind

595
00:35:01,680 --> 00:35:04,880
Speaker 1: he would have tucked the ball and ran right. What

596
00:35:05,040 --> 00:35:08,120
Speaker 1: does what does he do? He looks over the back

597
00:35:08,239 --> 00:35:11,560
Speaker 1: and he knew that his safety valve was really the

598
00:35:11,680 --> 00:35:14,879
Speaker 1: fourth guy Dante Pettis who he threw the touchdown too,

599
00:35:15,120 --> 00:35:17,400
Speaker 1: who was on the far side of the field Number one.

600
00:35:17,480 --> 00:35:19,040
Speaker 1: There are a lot of guys that have that type

601
00:35:19,080 --> 00:35:21,919
Speaker 1: of arm strength to throw it that far. The ball

602
00:35:22,040 --> 00:35:24,279
Speaker 1: was wet, you saw the condition to his pouring down rain.

603
00:35:24,600 --> 00:35:29,040
Speaker 1: So he made a great physical throw and also he

604
00:35:29,120 --> 00:35:32,680
Speaker 1: made a great decision. You know, I really love what

605
00:35:32,719 --> 00:35:36,200
Speaker 1: these guys are doing, Luke Jetsie, this offensive staff. I mean,

606
00:35:36,239 --> 00:35:39,279
Speaker 1: they are really playing to his strengths. I mean they

607
00:35:39,360 --> 00:35:42,480
Speaker 1: ran the ball thirty They made thirty seven attempts to

608
00:35:42,560 --> 00:35:46,000
Speaker 1: run it and only through like eighteen passing attempts. And

609
00:35:46,239 --> 00:35:49,760
Speaker 1: it's all about giving their defensive chance and given Justin

610
00:35:49,920 --> 00:35:52,520
Speaker 1: Fields a chance to do what he did. And you

611
00:35:52,600 --> 00:35:54,520
Speaker 1: mentioned the second half call, and I think this is

612
00:35:54,560 --> 00:35:57,160
Speaker 1: worth mentioning. You know, in the second half they came

613
00:35:57,160 --> 00:36:00,000
Speaker 1: out and did some quarterback runs. They ran a legitimate

614
00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:04,160
Speaker 1: quarterback off game, and he kept the ball and then

615
00:36:04,160 --> 00:36:06,759
Speaker 1: they got him on the edge a few times. You know,

616
00:36:06,840 --> 00:36:10,279
Speaker 1: So that's all good stuff. He has to do that

617
00:36:10,400 --> 00:36:12,440
Speaker 1: stuff to be as good as he can possibly be

618
00:36:12,640 --> 00:36:15,680
Speaker 1: at this stage of his game. They didn't run a

619
00:36:15,719 --> 00:36:18,399
Speaker 1: screenplay last year. I added up I was doing the game.

620
00:36:18,640 --> 00:36:21,440
Speaker 1: I think they threw three screenplays in the first quarter,

621
00:36:21,840 --> 00:36:25,480
Speaker 1: you know, attempted screenplay. I mean, and I remember when

622
00:36:25,480 --> 00:36:28,800
Speaker 1: I was at the Bears and the screen teams of

623
00:36:28,880 --> 00:36:32,120
Speaker 1: the NFL for the Green Bay Packers with Mike Ingram

624
00:36:32,200 --> 00:36:34,480
Speaker 1: and Brett Farr and Mike and I would talk in

625
00:36:34,520 --> 00:36:37,720
Speaker 1: the offseason. I said, Mike, you just got fullback screens

626
00:36:37,719 --> 00:36:40,840
Speaker 1: and tight end screens and tailback screens. He says, day

627
00:36:40,960 --> 00:36:43,480
Speaker 1: we are not that good at running the football. We

628
00:36:43,560 --> 00:36:47,719
Speaker 1: look at a screen as a running play. So you know,

629
00:36:48,400 --> 00:36:50,879
Speaker 1: and I tried telling the Bears fans this last night

630
00:36:50,920 --> 00:36:53,560
Speaker 1: on a TV show. I say, guys, if we make

631
00:36:53,640 --> 00:36:56,160
Speaker 1: four or five yards on a screen, that's a successful play.

632
00:36:56,360 --> 00:36:59,040
Speaker 1: Everybody wants a screen to go for fifty yards. Well,

633
00:36:59,040 --> 00:37:01,200
Speaker 1: if you make four years and at second down and

634
00:37:01,320 --> 00:37:03,879
Speaker 1: five second down and four and you ran the ball,

635
00:37:03,920 --> 00:37:07,800
Speaker 1: you'd be happy. That's a successful play. So I really

636
00:37:07,840 --> 00:37:10,040
Speaker 1: like what the Bears are doing to try to give

637
00:37:10,440 --> 00:37:13,360
Speaker 1: Justin Fields a chance to be successful. You know the

638
00:37:13,400 --> 00:37:16,200
Speaker 1: other thing that's important that you mentioned that they played

639
00:37:16,239 --> 00:37:19,600
Speaker 1: to his strengths. You go back and you look at quarterbacks.

640
00:37:19,920 --> 00:37:23,920
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray jumps out to me Lamar Jackson and Russell Wilson.

641
00:37:24,920 --> 00:37:28,640
Speaker 1: Every year they tend to run a little less, but

642
00:37:28,760 --> 00:37:33,640
Speaker 1: their athletic ability buys them about twenty starts in this

643
00:37:33,719 --> 00:37:37,239
Speaker 1: league as they're figuring out the line of scrimmage. All

644
00:37:37,280 --> 00:37:40,200
Speaker 1: these young quarterbacks Steve Young, remember how much he ran

645
00:37:40,320 --> 00:37:43,520
Speaker 1: early and then as Steve got older he ran less.

646
00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:45,960
Speaker 1: Is that I talked to a coach years ago about this.

647
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:48,759
Speaker 1: He said, listen, for a lot of these guys, you know,

648
00:37:48,760 --> 00:37:51,720
Speaker 1: they start one or two years of college. Their legs

649
00:37:52,600 --> 00:37:54,640
Speaker 1: give them a year and a half to two years

650
00:37:55,080 --> 00:37:58,560
Speaker 1: to pick up yards. Russell Wilson said it year three,

651
00:37:58,600 --> 00:38:01,440
Speaker 1: the light went on home set it near too. He goes, oh,

652
00:38:01,480 --> 00:38:04,560
Speaker 1: I can finally read a defense. So my thing is,

653
00:38:04,640 --> 00:38:07,360
Speaker 1: I don't look in the first couple years of a quarterback.

654
00:38:07,440 --> 00:38:10,359
Speaker 1: I don't look negatively at running like whatever you have

655
00:38:10,440 --> 00:38:14,320
Speaker 1: to do to figure out yards now a big band

656
00:38:14,400 --> 00:38:18,279
Speaker 1: to me. And he didn't graduate out of that for

657
00:38:18,280 --> 00:38:20,120
Speaker 1: a while, like he took too many shots from like

658
00:38:20,200 --> 00:38:23,520
Speaker 1: year forty, year ten. But I do think if I

659
00:38:23,600 --> 00:38:26,600
Speaker 1: watched him yesterday, I'm like, there are guys that run

660
00:38:28,000 --> 00:38:30,399
Speaker 1: out of necessity, and then there are guys that run

661
00:38:30,480 --> 00:38:32,400
Speaker 1: to pick up yards. Do you see how many times

662
00:38:32,400 --> 00:38:34,560
Speaker 1: justin fields, I saw at least twice that he slides.

663
00:38:34,960 --> 00:38:37,360
Speaker 1: It just went. Now, he's a big athlete, Dave. He slid,

664
00:38:37,440 --> 00:38:41,520
Speaker 1: got down, And to your point, a lot of these

665
00:38:41,840 --> 00:38:44,120
Speaker 1: a lot of these great athletes at all these positions.

666
00:38:44,160 --> 00:38:47,880
Speaker 1: Sometimes great athletes are harder to coach because athletic ability.

667
00:38:47,880 --> 00:38:51,400
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter what position they play. I'm with you.

668
00:38:51,520 --> 00:38:53,920
Speaker 1: I thought it looked like I watched them last year,

669
00:38:53,960 --> 00:38:57,040
Speaker 1: and I thought he looked a little out of control.

670
00:38:57,480 --> 00:39:01,760
Speaker 1: I never felt that. Sunday his press conference, he talked

671
00:39:01,760 --> 00:39:05,920
Speaker 1: about the second touchdown he threw the second touchdown. He

672
00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:08,719
Speaker 1: through we ran that play at Dallas, and we would

673
00:39:08,719 --> 00:39:12,160
Speaker 1: send Darryl Johnson into the flat and we would use

674
00:39:12,160 --> 00:39:15,280
Speaker 1: our tight end, Jay Novachek as the guy to get

675
00:39:15,360 --> 00:39:18,960
Speaker 1: behind him. So all it really is for, you know,

676
00:39:19,200 --> 00:39:21,839
Speaker 1: is a two level pass route. You know, you got

677
00:39:21,880 --> 00:39:24,680
Speaker 1: one guy short and one guy deep, it doesn't matter

678
00:39:24,680 --> 00:39:27,279
Speaker 1: who they are. Well, the Bears did that and they

679
00:39:27,320 --> 00:39:30,240
Speaker 1: sent their their tight end kind of into the flat,

680
00:39:30,640 --> 00:39:34,080
Speaker 1: and they sent the wide receiver on the deep route

681
00:39:34,120 --> 00:39:37,760
Speaker 1: a two level pass, and he said both guys were open,

682
00:39:38,120 --> 00:39:40,480
Speaker 1: he why not throw the touchdown? You know, I mean,

683
00:39:40,520 --> 00:39:43,920
Speaker 1: so he made another good decision and understood the concept

684
00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:46,399
Speaker 1: of the play. And uh, you know, on the other

685
00:39:46,440 --> 00:39:49,440
Speaker 1: side of that coin, now you know Matt Eberflews the

686
00:39:49,480 --> 00:39:54,440
Speaker 1: head coach. They people are gonna mock copy. That's a

687
00:39:54,480 --> 00:39:58,959
Speaker 1: copycat league. What he did defensively was outstanding. They run

688
00:39:59,120 --> 00:40:02,359
Speaker 1: four downline and if you look at Indie, they were

689
00:40:02,400 --> 00:40:05,680
Speaker 1: in the fifth least pressure team a year ago. They

690
00:40:05,719 --> 00:40:08,000
Speaker 1: aren't going to blitz. So when you play a Mike

691
00:40:08,040 --> 00:40:11,960
Speaker 1: Shanahan team and you're getting motions and you're getting samuels

692
00:40:11,960 --> 00:40:15,520
Speaker 1: on reverses and offiction plays and everything, you can imagine,

693
00:40:15,920 --> 00:40:20,080
Speaker 1: the soundest defense is to line up and not play

694
00:40:20,080 --> 00:40:23,960
Speaker 1: a lot of man, not run with guys, just play vanilla,

695
00:40:24,080 --> 00:40:26,560
Speaker 1: don't blitz, and get caught inside. And that's what the

696
00:40:26,600 --> 00:40:30,520
Speaker 1: Bears did. I mean, the Bears played a very vanilla defense.

697
00:40:30,560 --> 00:40:34,399
Speaker 1: A few pressures. The big interception that they got they

698
00:40:34,480 --> 00:40:36,879
Speaker 1: did trick them. They lined up in a four man

699
00:40:36,960 --> 00:40:40,160
Speaker 1: rush and they dropped the nose guard to make it

700
00:40:40,160 --> 00:40:43,240
Speaker 1: a three man rush, and dropped Eddie Jackson, the safety

701
00:40:43,280 --> 00:40:45,120
Speaker 1: in the middle of the field. So they had like

702
00:40:45,200 --> 00:40:49,920
Speaker 1: a double robber defense and Eddie Jackson just read the eyes.

703
00:40:49,960 --> 00:40:52,080
Speaker 1: He said it in the press conference. All I did

704
00:40:52,200 --> 00:40:55,839
Speaker 1: was study Trey Lance's eyes, and right where he looked

705
00:40:55,920 --> 00:40:58,720
Speaker 1: is where I'd broken. He intercepted the ball. So they

706
00:40:58,840 --> 00:41:02,120
Speaker 1: did some great things. Twelve or thirteen penalties, the three

707
00:41:02,120 --> 00:41:06,480
Speaker 1: by the Bears, Okay, I mean two sacks on each team.

708
00:41:06,760 --> 00:41:10,560
Speaker 1: Tacklest losses were about the same, but the Bears beat

709
00:41:10,600 --> 00:41:13,160
Speaker 1: them in the turnover margin. The Bears beat the forty

710
00:41:13,239 --> 00:41:16,480
Speaker 1: nine ers turn margin by one, and they beat them

711
00:41:16,480 --> 00:41:20,880
Speaker 1: by penalties by twelve. They're thirteen to three. So you

712
00:41:20,920 --> 00:41:23,839
Speaker 1: know they're playing smart football right now. It's they're not.

713
00:41:23,960 --> 00:41:25,880
Speaker 1: You're gonna have to beat them. They're not going to

714
00:41:25,920 --> 00:41:29,879
Speaker 1: beat themselves going I want to go to Miami. So

715
00:41:30,080 --> 00:41:34,560
Speaker 1: Josh Allen and Tua Post Tom Brady are eight and

716
00:41:34,600 --> 00:41:38,319
Speaker 1: one against the Patriots. And you know, Davis, you well

717
00:41:38,400 --> 00:41:41,680
Speaker 1: know the NFL since you entered the league, left it

718
00:41:41,800 --> 00:41:46,360
Speaker 1: now broadcasting. It's not like baseball. They're constantly changing rules

719
00:41:46,680 --> 00:41:48,680
Speaker 1: and a lot of the stuff you could do defensively

720
00:41:48,760 --> 00:41:51,560
Speaker 1: even seven eight years ago, you're not allowed to do anymore.

721
00:41:52,600 --> 00:41:55,160
Speaker 1: The other thing we're finding out is is receivers just

722
00:41:55,239 --> 00:41:57,919
Speaker 1: have more value than they've ever had. The schemes are better.

723
00:41:58,120 --> 00:42:02,000
Speaker 1: There's just some of these young offensive coaches, Dave, They're

724
00:42:02,040 --> 00:42:05,200
Speaker 1: just they're really bright guys, and they really they use

725
00:42:05,280 --> 00:42:07,799
Speaker 1: their backs in the backfield, the receivers in the back

726
00:42:07,800 --> 00:42:12,880
Speaker 1: I mean San Francisco. Now, the Miami coach, Mike McDaniel,

727
00:42:13,040 --> 00:42:16,560
Speaker 1: he just brought the Niners offense to Miami, and listen,

728
00:42:16,600 --> 00:42:18,600
Speaker 1: I think I've always said I think Tua reminds me

729
00:42:18,600 --> 00:42:20,680
Speaker 1: of a left handed Mac Jones. Can't do a ton

730
00:42:20,719 --> 00:42:24,359
Speaker 1: off script. But when I watched the Patriots, and this

731
00:42:24,400 --> 00:42:27,600
Speaker 1: is where I think Belichick not saying the game's passed

732
00:42:27,640 --> 00:42:30,879
Speaker 1: him by, but he's not pivoting quickly enough, Dave. When

733
00:42:30,880 --> 00:42:34,560
Speaker 1: I watched them yesterday, they are slow on the perimeter.

734
00:42:35,120 --> 00:42:37,640
Speaker 1: They don't scare. Like if you were a defensive coordinator,

735
00:42:37,640 --> 00:42:40,200
Speaker 1: you would not watch their film and say, oh Jesus,

736
00:42:40,200 --> 00:42:42,520
Speaker 1: we got a bracket this guy. If this guy goes

737
00:42:42,520 --> 00:42:45,400
Speaker 1: in motion, I didn't. I mean, I think Miami kind

738
00:42:45,440 --> 00:42:47,480
Speaker 1: of played him straight up and said, we think our

739
00:42:47,520 --> 00:42:49,920
Speaker 1: people can guard your people. I don't see the speed

740
00:42:50,000 --> 00:42:53,120
Speaker 1: with New England. What did you see? Yeah, you know,

741
00:42:53,719 --> 00:42:56,080
Speaker 1: you bring up a good point. I mean, they're I

742
00:42:56,120 --> 00:42:59,759
Speaker 1: think they look faster. They do have speed. You know,

743
00:43:00,360 --> 00:43:02,600
Speaker 1: the Miami Dolphins, there's no question. I mean, you know

744
00:43:02,680 --> 00:43:06,880
Speaker 1: Tyrak Hill, Uh, you know Wattle. They've got some of

745
00:43:06,920 --> 00:43:10,960
Speaker 1: the greatest athletes in this league from a from a

746
00:43:11,000 --> 00:43:14,120
Speaker 1: skill standpoint. But I think what they do with those

747
00:43:14,160 --> 00:43:18,480
Speaker 1: guys even makes it. Uh, you know, the perception is

748
00:43:18,480 --> 00:43:20,880
Speaker 1: that they're faster because they're doing a lot more emotions

749
00:43:20,960 --> 00:43:23,560
Speaker 1: and we didn't see all that stuff when we were coaching,

750
00:43:23,640 --> 00:43:25,800
Speaker 1: you know, And they're doing a lot more emotions. And

751
00:43:26,040 --> 00:43:28,919
Speaker 1: every one of their running plays and this is Mike

752
00:43:29,040 --> 00:43:32,800
Speaker 1: Shanahan to a t. Every running play that he runs,

753
00:43:32,840 --> 00:43:35,640
Speaker 1: he has a pass play off the same action. So

754
00:43:35,840 --> 00:43:39,239
Speaker 1: it's real hard and it makes you look slow. You're

755
00:43:39,280 --> 00:43:40,960
Speaker 1: playing the run and all of a sudden it's a

756
00:43:40,960 --> 00:43:44,200
Speaker 1: play action pass and you're half a step late reacting.

757
00:43:44,680 --> 00:43:48,640
Speaker 1: So do they have fast players Miami. Yes, they've done

758
00:43:48,640 --> 00:43:50,440
Speaker 1: a lot of draft picks, let's be honest, over the

759
00:43:50,480 --> 00:43:52,319
Speaker 1: last couple of years. They've done a good job. But

760
00:43:52,400 --> 00:43:55,320
Speaker 1: they also use those guys with a lot of emotions

761
00:43:55,400 --> 00:43:59,040
Speaker 1: and a lot of fakes and and and deception plays.

762
00:43:59,080 --> 00:44:02,440
Speaker 1: I call that they can make a defense look slow.

763
00:44:02,560 --> 00:44:05,600
Speaker 1: So you know, but at the end of the day,

764
00:44:05,800 --> 00:44:08,440
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, and I'm agreeing with

765
00:44:08,560 --> 00:44:11,560
Speaker 1: what you're saying. I like the pay I like the

766
00:44:11,640 --> 00:44:14,959
Speaker 1: Dolphins this year, but it still came down to three

767
00:44:15,040 --> 00:44:18,480
Speaker 1: turnovers and two did not turn the ball over once,

768
00:44:18,600 --> 00:44:21,040
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. So all these young quarterbacks

769
00:44:21,040 --> 00:44:23,120
Speaker 1: and these teams that lost, we can beat this thing

770
00:44:23,160 --> 00:44:29,160
Speaker 1: to debt with systems and philosophies. But the Dolphins, you know,

771
00:44:29,239 --> 00:44:32,840
Speaker 1: they're loose. Everybody's having a good time down here. We

772
00:44:32,960 --> 00:44:35,879
Speaker 1: got a new coach, he's a player's coach. But they

773
00:44:35,920 --> 00:44:38,320
Speaker 1: also played discipline football. You have to give them credit

774
00:44:38,360 --> 00:44:42,760
Speaker 1: for that. Yeah, Chicago's rookie coach and Miami's rookie coach

775
00:44:43,160 --> 00:44:46,560
Speaker 1: don't have what we would consider elite quarterbacks, and they

776
00:44:46,600 --> 00:44:49,319
Speaker 1: both picked up wins and I think a lot of

777
00:44:49,480 --> 00:44:53,759
Speaker 1: in both cases, not a lot of turnovers. Yep, quarterbacks

778
00:44:53,800 --> 00:44:57,480
Speaker 1: played within themselves. They played real defense. They made good

779
00:44:57,480 --> 00:45:02,799
Speaker 1: plays up the sideline defensively with their corners. Um. You know,

780
00:45:03,239 --> 00:45:06,880
Speaker 1: I had Sean Payton on yesterday on Fox and one

781
00:45:06,920 --> 00:45:11,640
Speaker 1: of the things he said he was disappointed in Aaron Rodgers,

782
00:45:11,960 --> 00:45:15,200
Speaker 1: and he said, listen, man, when you bring rookie receivers in.

783
00:45:16,239 --> 00:45:19,520
Speaker 1: These guys, you know you're you're you're opening game in

784
00:45:19,560 --> 00:45:22,880
Speaker 1: the NFL. These these two rookie receivers for Green Bay.

785
00:45:22,920 --> 00:45:26,920
Speaker 1: One played at an FCS program, the other played at Nevada. Right,

786
00:45:27,080 --> 00:45:30,400
Speaker 1: So that game in Minnesota, Dave, that's not only the

787
00:45:30,440 --> 00:45:33,399
Speaker 1: biggest crowd they've ever played in, it's a division game

788
00:45:33,440 --> 00:45:38,279
Speaker 1: in the NFL. You know those those are wars. So

789
00:45:38,280 --> 00:45:42,919
Speaker 1: so Christian Watson drops a pass Romeo Dubbs communication and

790
00:45:43,000 --> 00:45:45,200
Speaker 1: Sean Payton said, you got to go right back to

791
00:45:45,239 --> 00:45:47,800
Speaker 1: these guys. You can't. You can't not throw to Christian

792
00:45:47,800 --> 00:45:51,920
Speaker 1: Watson and crush his confidence. And I said this earlier

793
00:45:51,920 --> 00:45:54,280
Speaker 1: before I thought you want I said, when you have kids.

794
00:45:55,120 --> 00:45:56,600
Speaker 1: Aaron didn't have any kids. I said, but when you

795
00:45:56,680 --> 00:45:59,800
Speaker 1: have kids, you learn patients they make a lot of mistakes.

796
00:46:00,040 --> 00:46:01,920
Speaker 1: You hope they don't make the same ones over and over.

797
00:46:02,400 --> 00:46:06,120
Speaker 1: But because Sean Payton really pointed it out, it's like, listen, man,

798
00:46:06,320 --> 00:46:09,440
Speaker 1: you bring rookie receivers in. They you can't expect them

799
00:46:09,480 --> 00:46:11,520
Speaker 1: to go on the road in their first NFL game

800
00:46:11,920 --> 00:46:14,400
Speaker 1: and light it up. You have to bake in mistakes.

801
00:46:15,040 --> 00:46:17,600
Speaker 1: And I want you to go to your career, sometimes

802
00:46:17,680 --> 00:46:21,800
Speaker 1: you were forced to play young players. Sometimes they're small

803
00:46:21,920 --> 00:46:26,120
Speaker 1: college guys. Did you understand kind of innately this ship

804
00:46:26,160 --> 00:46:28,440
Speaker 1: could get a little rough. This is not going to

805
00:46:28,520 --> 00:46:31,920
Speaker 1: be pretty. Yeah, two thoughts on that one. I mean,

806
00:46:31,960 --> 00:46:35,560
Speaker 1: can you I thought about this yesterday. Aaron Rodgers didn't

807
00:46:35,560 --> 00:46:38,719
Speaker 1: play in the preseason, right, so we know that. Okay,

808
00:46:38,800 --> 00:46:43,080
Speaker 1: So these rookies had maybe not caught a pass with him,

809
00:46:43,480 --> 00:46:47,480
Speaker 1: and they're and they're getting their mouthpieces before the game,

810
00:46:47,840 --> 00:46:50,279
Speaker 1: right and getting their little call sheet, and they look

811
00:46:50,360 --> 00:46:53,280
Speaker 1: up and boy, Aaron Rodgers, he's putting the odd black

812
00:46:53,360 --> 00:46:57,480
Speaker 1: on and can you match what those guys are thinking? Wow,

813
00:46:57,920 --> 00:47:01,560
Speaker 1: this is for real. I'm actually gonna Aaron Rodgers is

814
00:47:01,560 --> 00:47:04,319
Speaker 1: actually gonna throw me a pass today, you know, I

815
00:47:04,440 --> 00:47:08,919
Speaker 1: mean on TV. No, it's a lot. But I said

816
00:47:08,960 --> 00:47:11,520
Speaker 1: this about the Packers, and I've looked at this thing

817
00:47:11,560 --> 00:47:13,839
Speaker 1: pretty close. You know, they used two first round draft

818
00:47:13,840 --> 00:47:18,280
Speaker 1: picks on defensive players, two great players from Georgia, and

819
00:47:18,360 --> 00:47:22,200
Speaker 1: they had a top ten defense a year ago. They

820
00:47:22,280 --> 00:47:24,680
Speaker 1: have to win. And I said this, and I really

821
00:47:24,719 --> 00:47:26,920
Speaker 1: believe this, and it's gonna happen. It's gonna happen. This

822
00:47:26,920 --> 00:47:30,160
Speaker 1: week they play the Bears Sunday night in Lambeau. And

823
00:47:30,520 --> 00:47:32,719
Speaker 1: this is how they're gonna have to win. They have

824
00:47:32,840 --> 00:47:37,760
Speaker 1: to play lights out on defense. And Dylan and Aaron Jones,

825
00:47:37,760 --> 00:47:42,359
Speaker 1: they're two veteran running backs. They need to be a

826
00:47:42,480 --> 00:47:45,600
Speaker 1: huge part of their offensive attack, whether they're thrown or

827
00:47:45,640 --> 00:47:48,319
Speaker 1: to them or whether they're running the ball. But this

828
00:47:48,400 --> 00:47:51,640
Speaker 1: needs to be pulled in a little bit. Let's let's

829
00:47:51,719 --> 00:47:54,440
Speaker 1: let's play a little more conservative when we have to.

830
00:47:54,840 --> 00:47:58,640
Speaker 1: And we got to play great defense, and our special

831
00:47:58,640 --> 00:48:01,319
Speaker 1: teams should be good. You know, we hired a brand,

832
00:48:01,400 --> 00:48:03,279
Speaker 1: you know, one of the top special teams coaches in

833
00:48:03,320 --> 00:48:06,960
Speaker 1: the NFL. Uh So this is how we got to

834
00:48:07,000 --> 00:48:10,160
Speaker 1: win right now, until these young receivers catch up and

835
00:48:10,200 --> 00:48:12,799
Speaker 1: we get Allen Lasar back and and so forth. But

836
00:48:13,200 --> 00:48:16,359
Speaker 1: green Day had their top three receivers not on the

837
00:48:16,400 --> 00:48:19,200
Speaker 1: field from a year ago. Two of them left obviously,

838
00:48:19,560 --> 00:48:22,959
Speaker 1: and then and then uh Lasar he was he was hurt.

839
00:48:23,440 --> 00:48:27,319
Speaker 1: So that's a lot for any team. So I I

840
00:48:27,480 --> 00:48:29,960
Speaker 1: put it on the defense. I'm gonna call the defense

841
00:48:29,960 --> 00:48:33,680
Speaker 1: out tomorrow and say because they didn't beat us on plays.

842
00:48:33,960 --> 00:48:36,479
Speaker 1: You know, I've always looked at it this way. If

843
00:48:36,480 --> 00:48:41,080
Speaker 1: it's two guys going up for the ball. Then then

844
00:48:41,280 --> 00:48:43,279
Speaker 1: then we're doing a good job of coaching. And I

845
00:48:43,320 --> 00:48:45,319
Speaker 1: gotta get I used to tell my coaches this, then

846
00:48:45,320 --> 00:48:47,919
Speaker 1: I gotta go get you better players. If their guy

847
00:48:47,920 --> 00:48:50,799
Speaker 1: out jumps my guy, our guy, then it's my job

848
00:48:50,840 --> 00:48:53,120
Speaker 1: to go get better players. So we don't get out jumped.

849
00:48:53,280 --> 00:48:57,000
Speaker 1: But if guys are wide open, wide open and passes

850
00:48:57,080 --> 00:49:01,120
Speaker 1: like Minnesota was, it's your it's your problem. Not okay,

851
00:49:01,160 --> 00:49:05,279
Speaker 1: because we got problems schematically, And I was really disappointed

852
00:49:05,280 --> 00:49:08,319
Speaker 1: in defense, in green based defense. I mean, I mean

853
00:49:08,360 --> 00:49:12,840
Speaker 1: because they had some easy scores. I thought, yeah, you

854
00:49:12,880 --> 00:49:18,680
Speaker 1: know Kirk Cousins and Aaron and you saw it yesterday,

855
00:49:19,520 --> 00:49:22,919
Speaker 1: the veteran quarterbacks in this league. You know, Aaron will

856
00:49:22,920 --> 00:49:24,960
Speaker 1: throw out to the right side to his tight ends

857
00:49:24,960 --> 00:49:26,759
Speaker 1: in his backs. Those are layups for him. He gets

858
00:49:26,800 --> 00:49:30,000
Speaker 1: about six of those game. Kirk Cousins similarly, he'll do

859
00:49:30,040 --> 00:49:32,840
Speaker 1: that with Theeland or Justin Jefferson, those little eight yard outs.

860
00:49:33,480 --> 00:49:38,000
Speaker 1: Young quarterbacks don't have the experience to get all those layups.

861
00:49:38,680 --> 00:49:41,880
Speaker 1: But like, like what I found yesterday fascinating is that

862
00:49:42,200 --> 00:49:45,840
Speaker 1: not only did Aaron and Kurt get their layouts, but

863
00:49:46,080 --> 00:49:52,120
Speaker 1: Jesus justin Jefferson was was really wide open multiple times,

864
00:49:52,200 --> 00:49:56,160
Speaker 1: multiple times, multiple times for touchdowns, not for first dons,

865
00:49:56,160 --> 00:49:59,120
Speaker 1: for touchdowns. And that's I mean, you know, I just

866
00:49:59,160 --> 00:50:01,360
Speaker 1: told you how I'm look that stop. Hey, you know

867
00:50:01,480 --> 00:50:04,600
Speaker 1: those guys were open. What are we doing? I mean, Ski, Matt, Now,

868
00:50:04,800 --> 00:50:06,920
Speaker 1: don't tell me the player made a mistake, because then

869
00:50:06,920 --> 00:50:11,680
Speaker 1: we got too much in you know, and simplify, simplified.

870
00:50:11,760 --> 00:50:14,879
Speaker 1: If we're making mistakes because the players are confused, that's

871
00:50:14,880 --> 00:50:22,160
Speaker 1: on me. There's a lot of double digit favorites this week,

872
00:50:22,200 --> 00:50:25,400
Speaker 1: as you well know, always try to stay away from him.

873
00:50:25,440 --> 00:50:28,880
Speaker 1: The numbers tell you take the Packers. I deep down

874
00:50:29,200 --> 00:50:33,320
Speaker 1: think the Broncos if not for two one yard fumbles,

875
00:50:33,320 --> 00:50:38,239
Speaker 1: would have won that game, convincing you that convincingly. But

876
00:50:38,280 --> 00:50:40,120
Speaker 1: I'm gonna stay away from now. I'm gonna take the

877
00:50:40,200 --> 00:50:44,000
Speaker 1: Lions at home minus two and a half over the Commanders.

878
00:50:44,040 --> 00:50:47,520
Speaker 1: I don't love either team. Wentz his mistake prone in

879
00:50:47,600 --> 00:50:50,440
Speaker 1: his career, more so on the road. I thought they

880
00:50:50,440 --> 00:50:53,080
Speaker 1: were a little lucky at home to beat the Jags,

881
00:50:53,600 --> 00:50:56,440
Speaker 1: who instead of field goals went for it. Had a

882
00:50:56,520 --> 00:50:59,280
Speaker 1: drop by Travis atn that would have been a touchdown.

883
00:51:00,800 --> 00:51:02,759
Speaker 1: I thought they got a little bit of breaks. I

884
00:51:02,840 --> 00:51:06,880
Speaker 1: thought I that Doug Peterson took some unnecessary road risks.

885
00:51:06,920 --> 00:51:09,280
Speaker 1: I would have taken field goals. I thought the Jags

886
00:51:09,280 --> 00:51:11,799
Speaker 1: when that game was over, were the better team. And

887
00:51:11,840 --> 00:51:14,680
Speaker 1: I think Detroit's better than the Jags. And now it's

888
00:51:14,719 --> 00:51:16,759
Speaker 1: in Detroit minus two and a half, I'm taking the

889
00:51:16,800 --> 00:51:22,840
Speaker 1: Lions sharper square, totally sharp. First time, the first time

890
00:51:23,040 --> 00:51:27,280
Speaker 1: that the Detroit Lions are favorites in twenty four games.

891
00:51:27,760 --> 00:51:31,799
Speaker 1: That is a record in the Super Bowl. That is

892
00:51:31,840 --> 00:51:35,640
Speaker 1: how long it's been. I loved the Lions last week

893
00:51:36,040 --> 00:51:38,880
Speaker 1: against the Eagles, and I started to get nervous about it,

894
00:51:38,960 --> 00:51:41,680
Speaker 1: because sometimes when there is a team getting so much

895
00:51:41,719 --> 00:51:44,680
Speaker 1: sentiment as a public, as an underdog, you start to

896
00:51:44,680 --> 00:51:46,719
Speaker 1: get nervous that it's the wrong side. And then the

897
00:51:46,760 --> 00:51:49,120
Speaker 1: Lions did exactly what they thought we thought they would do.

898
00:51:49,760 --> 00:51:52,680
Speaker 1: They backdoor covered, they stayed in the game. They didn't

899
00:51:52,680 --> 00:51:55,520
Speaker 1: stop no matter how out of it they were. That's

900
00:51:55,520 --> 00:51:57,600
Speaker 1: who they are, right like. They are a team that

901
00:51:57,840 --> 00:52:02,600
Speaker 1: they do not stop. Washington gave up six yards per

902
00:52:02,640 --> 00:52:08,279
Speaker 1: carry against Jacksonville. Detroit has a significantly better running game,

903
00:52:08,680 --> 00:52:11,759
Speaker 1: and it wants to run more than the Jags. Do.

904
00:52:11,960 --> 00:52:14,560
Speaker 1: I agree with you about Doug Peterson. I thought he

905
00:52:14,680 --> 00:52:16,840
Speaker 1: put the Jags in a couple of weird spots and

906
00:52:16,960 --> 00:52:19,000
Speaker 1: they really had a chance to win that game. This

907
00:52:19,080 --> 00:52:23,160
Speaker 1: is a huge letdown spot from Carson Wentz. And like

908
00:52:23,400 --> 00:52:26,000
Speaker 1: the Lions, if they are healthy, which there have been

909
00:52:26,000 --> 00:52:28,279
Speaker 1: some question marks in the offensive line, but I think

910
00:52:28,320 --> 00:52:31,200
Speaker 1: the expectation is everybody will play. They have one of

911
00:52:31,200 --> 00:52:33,719
Speaker 1: the best offensive lines, so they are going to be

912
00:52:33,719 --> 00:52:35,880
Speaker 1: able to compete at the line of scrimmage, which is

913
00:52:35,920 --> 00:52:37,680
Speaker 1: where you need if you want to win close games

914
00:52:37,680 --> 00:52:40,960
Speaker 1: in the NFL. Okay, I like points always, but I'm

915
00:52:41,000 --> 00:52:44,680
Speaker 1: going to give you a favorite I like. I don't

916
00:52:44,719 --> 00:52:48,240
Speaker 1: like to be called a square. I think I probably

917
00:52:48,280 --> 00:52:52,040
Speaker 1: am Cleveland minus six and a half at home to

918
00:52:52,080 --> 00:52:54,520
Speaker 1: the Jets. I think the Jets right now are a

919
00:52:54,800 --> 00:52:59,680
Speaker 1: bad team now. Jacoby Brissette is what he is. They're

920
00:52:59,719 --> 00:53:04,160
Speaker 1: at home home opener. The rosters are not close, and

921
00:53:04,560 --> 00:53:07,480
Speaker 1: the Jets have a major left tackle issue, and I

922
00:53:07,520 --> 00:53:11,239
Speaker 1: believe Watton Miles Garrett are easily the best two pass rushers,

923
00:53:11,560 --> 00:53:15,600
Speaker 1: So I get immobile Joe Flacco. Left tackle issue, not

924
00:53:15,719 --> 00:53:19,240
Speaker 1: a very good roster. A developing roster. I'm gonna swallow

925
00:53:19,280 --> 00:53:21,600
Speaker 1: the six and a half in Cleveland at home, Sharper Square.

926
00:53:22,280 --> 00:53:27,680
Speaker 1: I mean, dude, we've been talking about this for more

927
00:53:27,719 --> 00:53:30,880
Speaker 1: than ten years. At this point, I can't believe you

928
00:53:30,920 --> 00:53:33,759
Speaker 1: would take the Browns in this spot. I feel like

929
00:53:33,800 --> 00:53:36,719
Speaker 1: you're doing it. Just debit me. This is exactly when

930
00:53:36,719 --> 00:53:38,560
Speaker 1: you take the Jets. We talked about this last week

931
00:53:39,000 --> 00:53:42,320
Speaker 1: with the Seahawks. I begged you to take the Seahawks

932
00:53:42,320 --> 00:53:45,560
Speaker 1: a six and a half point dogs against the Broncos.

933
00:53:45,600 --> 00:53:49,440
Speaker 1: It is the same exact scenario. You are getting so

934
00:53:49,520 --> 00:53:54,040
Speaker 1: much inflation in this line. Everyone is so excited. The

935
00:53:54,120 --> 00:53:58,520
Speaker 1: Browns went on the road Jacoby Brissette, they beat Baker. Meanwhile,

936
00:53:58,560 --> 00:54:02,840
Speaker 1: the Jets are getting rottled with Joe Flacco. No team

937
00:54:02,960 --> 00:54:05,000
Speaker 1: is ever as good as they look, No team is

938
00:54:05,040 --> 00:54:08,839
Speaker 1: ever as bad as they look. Like I said, Week

939
00:54:08,880 --> 00:54:13,719
Speaker 1: two all about overreaction. A couple stats for you. Week

940
00:54:13,800 --> 00:54:18,120
Speaker 1: two underdogs that didn't cover Week one by seven or

941
00:54:18,160 --> 00:54:24,240
Speaker 1: more points the last twenty years sixty percent against the spread.

942
00:54:24,800 --> 00:54:28,600
Speaker 1: Week two dogs who just didn't cover in Week one

943
00:54:29,480 --> 00:54:32,799
Speaker 1: sixty four percent against the spread since two thousand and five.

944
00:54:33,200 --> 00:54:38,439
Speaker 1: Week two dogs of six or less off a straight

945
00:54:38,520 --> 00:54:42,680
Speaker 1: up loss, and the Jets started at six sixty seven

946
00:54:42,719 --> 00:54:46,479
Speaker 1: percent against the spread, so you got to hold your nose.

947
00:54:46,680 --> 00:54:48,279
Speaker 1: You gotta bet it. Like I know, you don't even

948
00:54:48,280 --> 00:54:49,680
Speaker 1: want to watch the game, so you're not going to

949
00:54:49,760 --> 00:54:51,759
Speaker 1: bet it. But the Jets are the side here. And

950
00:54:51,800 --> 00:54:55,560
Speaker 1: by the way, if the Jets lose, that's fine. You

951
00:54:55,680 --> 00:54:57,600
Speaker 1: make these plays over the long term and you end

952
00:54:57,680 --> 00:54:59,520
Speaker 1: up being a sixty percent winner, and that's what you're

953
00:54:59,520 --> 00:55:03,000
Speaker 1: trying to be, all right. Another favorite that I think

954
00:55:03,080 --> 00:55:07,560
Speaker 1: is kind of tasty, and I know again, I know

955
00:55:07,800 --> 00:55:15,120
Speaker 1: m as square of all the big favorites. Bengals minus

956
00:55:15,160 --> 00:55:18,319
Speaker 1: eight and a half against the Cowboys. Now it's I'm

957
00:55:18,680 --> 00:55:21,160
Speaker 1: I'm not sure I'm gonna about this, but I think

958
00:55:21,239 --> 00:55:25,600
Speaker 1: Dallas is a bad football team, a bad team now

959
00:55:25,600 --> 00:55:28,960
Speaker 1: with a backup quarterback. I think Cincinnati is a good

960
00:55:28,960 --> 00:55:32,120
Speaker 1: team that played the best underdog coach in the world,

961
00:55:32,160 --> 00:55:34,600
Speaker 1: with the best pass rush outside of Buffalo in the world.

962
00:55:34,840 --> 00:55:37,279
Speaker 1: And I think the Bengals because, as Joe Burrow told

963
00:55:37,280 --> 00:55:39,759
Speaker 1: me on my podcast, he didn't get a practice much.

964
00:55:40,480 --> 00:55:43,400
Speaker 1: Appendectomy surgery they take something out of your body. It

965
00:55:43,520 --> 00:55:46,759
Speaker 1: is a major surgery. The timing was terrible against the

966
00:55:46,800 --> 00:55:52,360
Speaker 1: great defense. This is a average defense. I think Cincinnati

967
00:55:52,400 --> 00:55:55,280
Speaker 1: buries him. It's might blow out of the week. Well,

968
00:55:56,000 --> 00:55:57,640
Speaker 1: I feel like there are other games that should be

969
00:55:57,680 --> 00:55:59,359
Speaker 1: your blowout of the week because this is a really

970
00:55:59,440 --> 00:56:05,280
Speaker 1: tricky eight and a half points on the road against

971
00:56:05,280 --> 00:56:07,759
Speaker 1: a team that is desperate. You always got to think

972
00:56:07,760 --> 00:56:12,000
Speaker 1: about the emotional elements of the game, right and set

973
00:56:12,080 --> 00:56:15,400
Speaker 1: The first game with a backup quarterback for a team

974
00:56:15,440 --> 00:56:18,640
Speaker 1: that knows its season is on the line is always

975
00:56:18,680 --> 00:56:21,280
Speaker 1: when they are playing their best. You get that team

976
00:56:21,320 --> 00:56:24,880
Speaker 1: as a massive underdog at home, and that's when you

977
00:56:24,960 --> 00:56:29,359
Speaker 1: play the home underdog. The same stats I just gave

978
00:56:29,360 --> 00:56:33,440
Speaker 1: you for the Jets all applicable for the Cowboys. They

979
00:56:33,520 --> 00:56:37,920
Speaker 1: lost like by double digits. They are huge home underdogs.

980
00:56:38,080 --> 00:56:40,000
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter if Dak is playing or not. But

981
00:56:40,120 --> 00:56:42,960
Speaker 1: also think about this and I'll ask you these questions.

982
00:56:43,040 --> 00:56:45,480
Speaker 1: I need you to answer them. Do you think Dak

983
00:56:45,520 --> 00:56:49,160
Speaker 1: Prescott is a good quarterback? I think he's a b quarterback.

984
00:56:50,280 --> 00:56:53,080
Speaker 1: So you don't think he's a top ten quarterback? No? No,

985
00:56:53,560 --> 00:56:59,800
Speaker 1: all right, So if Dak is playing, maybe the Bengals

986
00:56:59,800 --> 00:57:05,280
Speaker 1: are say a point and a half favorites. Maybe there

987
00:57:05,560 --> 00:57:09,600
Speaker 1: maybe it's push. Do you really think dak is worth

988
00:57:10,239 --> 00:57:12,640
Speaker 1: eight and a half points against the spread? Is he

989
00:57:12,719 --> 00:57:15,480
Speaker 1: worth seven and a half points against the spread? Those

990
00:57:15,480 --> 00:57:17,680
Speaker 1: are the guys who are the best quarterbacks in the NFL.

991
00:57:18,320 --> 00:57:21,760
Speaker 1: That's not da So the inflation on this line is

992
00:57:21,800 --> 00:57:23,880
Speaker 1: so big that the wise guys are going to take

993
00:57:23,920 --> 00:57:27,560
Speaker 1: the Cowboys. This line has come down, if only because

994
00:57:27,600 --> 00:57:29,960
Speaker 1: they know the number became too big, because the public

995
00:57:30,000 --> 00:57:46,840
Speaker 1: perception is the Cowboys can't win without that. The volume,
