Speaker 1: me three and Out podcasts, that'd be this little show.

22
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:43,240
Speaker 1: We're talking football, because that's what we do around these parts.

23
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:45,720
Speaker 1: Here's what we got going on. My guy stuck. He's

24
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:49,520
Speaker 1: a little under the weather, so he no stuck you today.

25
00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:52,760
Speaker 1: And this is a weird week to bet right beside

26
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:56,720
Speaker 1: a couple games. It's impossible though. Yeah, I like the

27
00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:59,680
Speaker 1: Bills this weekend, and I actually kind of like the

28
00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:02,280
Speaker 1: Rain getting some points. I think Carson Wentz gonna look

29
00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:04,280
Speaker 1: pretty good, and I could imagine the Niners kind of

30
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:06,680
Speaker 1: mailing it in. It feels like a little undervalued there

31
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:09,320
Speaker 1: just because of the matchup. It's like, well, this is

32
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:12,120
Speaker 1: not a normal matchup. Now we'll see if Sam Darnald

33
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:14,080
Speaker 1: looks good. But I do like the Bills, and I

34
00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:17,200
Speaker 1: like the Rams this weekend and Washington, which I'm sure

35
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:19,040
Speaker 1: we'll get into. I'm sure me and Colin will talk

36
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:21,400
Speaker 1: about that on Sunday night. But plan will be I'm

37
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:24,040
Speaker 1: gonna do a little pressure rankings coming into this weekend

38
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:26,799
Speaker 1: because we do have some games that matter, and I

39
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:30,440
Speaker 1: just kind of went through it the individual Slash teams

40
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:32,840
Speaker 1: that I think are under the gun and under some

41
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:37,080
Speaker 1: legit pressure this weekend to win am Slash look good.

42
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:39,360
Speaker 1: So we will discuss that coming up. And then of

73
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:08,120
Speaker 1: some of these coaches that are gonna get fired on Monday.

74
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:11,320
Speaker 1: We've seen a bunch of coaches fired, you know, Dennis Allen,

75
00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:15,800
Speaker 1: Todd Bowles. They are guys Arthur Smith for the most part,

76
00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:18,720
Speaker 1: the South divisions, Like I don't give a shit, Like

77
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:22,000
Speaker 1: to one game that's not on here Houston, Indy, I

78
00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:25,480
Speaker 1: just don't. It doesn't matter. I think both those teams won.

79
00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:28,279
Speaker 1: They both have rookie quarterbacks. One guy's injured. Like it's

80
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:31,520
Speaker 1: not about this year, right, Obviously, they both those teams

81
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:34,880
Speaker 1: feel really good about their coaches. Washington, they could upset

82
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:38,040
Speaker 1: the Cowboys, which is not gonna happen. He's still getting fired.

83
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:42,719
Speaker 1: You know. The Belichick thing I think is it feels obvious,

84
00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:45,119
Speaker 1: but you know the way the Patriots operate in general

85
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:47,680
Speaker 1: a little cloak and dagger. So obviously next week is

86
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:50,359
Speaker 1: gonna be a lot reacting to the coaching situation. I

87
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:53,120
Speaker 1: heard Schefter say this, and he's so right, Like, let's

88
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:57,600
Speaker 1: face it, the coaching hiring cycle, when you factor in seven, eight,

89
00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:01,680
Speaker 1: nine teams, is as big a story as the games.

90
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:04,280
Speaker 1: It's his biggest story as the draft. I mean, that's

91
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:07,480
Speaker 1: just as big as it gets in this sport right forever.

92
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:10,360
Speaker 1: Like when I was a kid, managers in baseball were stars.

93
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:12,080
Speaker 1: Now they don't matter. They make like seven hundred and

94
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:14,880
Speaker 1: fifty grand. Right when I was a kid, basketball coaches

95
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:17,080
Speaker 1: were really really famous. Now there are like three guys

96
00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 1: who were famous. Most of the guys you couldn't point

97
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:21,400
Speaker 1: out of a lineup. Besides, like some of the guys

98
00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:25,240
Speaker 1: that used to play in football, coaches matter, and it's

99
00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:28,120
Speaker 1: a coaching sport. They make a ton of money. They

100
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:30,919
Speaker 1: make the most money. I mean you're talking. Ben Johnson,

101
00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:33,200
Speaker 1: the offensive coordinator from the Lions, is being discussed to

102
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:37,120
Speaker 1: making fifteen million dollars. Obviously, all the college coaches that matter,

103
00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:40,279
Speaker 1: Lincoln Riley's one hundred and twenty million dollar contract. The

104
00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:43,240
Speaker 1: Michigan Wolverines have one hundred and twenty million dollar contract

105
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:46,320
Speaker 1: on the table for Jim Harbon. It's like, yeah, I

106
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:48,400
Speaker 1: can make more in the NFL if I want, if

107
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:49,960
Speaker 1: I choose to stay here. It has nothing to do

108
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:54,160
Speaker 1: with money, So I mean, it's just fascinating. Their impact

109
00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:59,280
Speaker 1: is inarguable, the importance they have to your franchise, So

110
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:01,400
Speaker 1: that's to be a huge talking point. There's just a

111
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:04,279
Speaker 1: lot in flux right now, and I'll be excited for

112
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:06,800
Speaker 1: what we've called Black Monday for a while. Though I

113
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:10,600
Speaker 1: don't expect the Patriot situation to be resolved Monday, but

114
00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:14,760
Speaker 1: interested just I mean, listen, I don't root for anyone

115
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:16,560
Speaker 1: to lose their job, but like I said, like I

116
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:19,479
Speaker 1: feel sympathy for the guy making eighty grand who gets

117
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:21,880
Speaker 1: laid off and who's got two kids and a mortgage.

118
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:25,800
Speaker 1: I feel zero empathy sympathy for guys making seven to

119
00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:28,040
Speaker 1: fifteen million dollars who get fired because they're not good

120
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:30,240
Speaker 1: at their job. I'm sorry, I just don't care. No

121
00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:33,000
Speaker 1: one does. Maybe guys on their staff not making much money.

122
00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:34,599
Speaker 1: Like I've been fired from the NFL. I was making

123
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:38,320
Speaker 1: like sixty grand. That sucked. No, I was young, fluid,

124
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:40,240
Speaker 1: figured it out, No big deal. Most of these guys

125
00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:43,360
Speaker 1: will be Okay, let's dive into the pressure rankings this weekend,

126
00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:46,480
Speaker 1: because I think there is one team head and shoulders

127
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:50,120
Speaker 1: above everybody else. They were a team coming into the preseason,

128
00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:51,640
Speaker 1: a lot of people thought they could win the Super Bowl.

129
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:54,440
Speaker 1: They have easily one of the best players in the

130
00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:58,240
Speaker 1: league at the most important position, and that's quarterback. Then

131
00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:00,960
Speaker 1: the article that came out from Ty Dunn whatever that

132
00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:04,240
Speaker 1: was within the last month really made shock waves. Right

133
00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:07,480
Speaker 1: and the crazy part is, listen, I've known Sean McDermott

134
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:09,479
Speaker 1: since I worked in Philly. He was our defensive coordinator

135
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:11,480
Speaker 1: when I got hired. I like him. He's been really

136
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:13,960
Speaker 1: cool to me. I think he's a really impressive guy,

137
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:16,680
Speaker 1: and texting with other people that have worked with him

138
00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:19,680
Speaker 1: like that article does not reflect the guy I know now.

139
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:21,360
Speaker 1: I've always said he can be a little tight. I mean,

140
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:24,000
Speaker 1: defensive guys tend to be. But you know, a guy

141
00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:27,320
Speaker 1: making that comment about nine to eleven seems a little

142
00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:28,760
Speaker 1: out of left field. I mean, he made it. It's

143
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:31,040
Speaker 1: not like he denied it. But it's also it wasn't

144
00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:34,160
Speaker 1: from this year. It's from like four years ago. But regardless,

145
00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:36,320
Speaker 1: like let's face it, they've rallied around each other and

146
00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:38,160
Speaker 1: they've rattled off a bunch of wins and they've put

147
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:40,720
Speaker 1: themselves in a position to not just win eleven games,

148
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:43,200
Speaker 1: but to be the two seed. But here's the reality,

149
00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:45,680
Speaker 1: depending on how things shake out, if they were to

150
00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:49,680
Speaker 1: lose this game, they would not make the playoffs. So

151
00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:51,800
Speaker 1: there is a ton on the line for a team

152
00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:56,600
Speaker 1: that coming into the season was like AFC championship at minimum,

153
00:07:56,680 --> 00:07:59,240
Speaker 1: let alone like a legit Super Bowl contender. So to

154
00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:01,840
Speaker 1: not make the playoffs, I would say it'd be the

155
00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:04,480
Speaker 1: biggest disaster in the NFL. When you have a quarterback

156
00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:07,200
Speaker 1: who's playing he didn't play that well last week, but

157
00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:10,000
Speaker 1: just you know what I mean. And here's the other thing.

158
00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:13,040
Speaker 1: They played this Miami team. Now, they were different, they

159
00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:15,920
Speaker 1: were a lot healthier. They beat the living piss out

160
00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:18,440
Speaker 1: of them. They beat him by twenty eight points, and

161
00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:21,560
Speaker 1: the game was not even that close. And this Miami team,

162
00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:24,920
Speaker 1: like I, they've impressed me. They've been much better than

163
00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:26,480
Speaker 1: I thought they would be. I didn't think they would

164
00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:29,520
Speaker 1: be this good what McDaniel's done with Tua obviously, how

165
00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:33,600
Speaker 1: talented their offensive skill guys are most searts over twenty touchdowns,

166
00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:35,920
Speaker 1: Like that's insane like that. They deserve all the flowers.

167
00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:38,640
Speaker 1: But they felt like a wild card team to me

168
00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:40,760
Speaker 1: most of the season, more than a division champion. And

169
00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:43,160
Speaker 1: I expect him to lose this week, but like, let's

170
00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:45,640
Speaker 1: face it, you lose this game, if you're the Bills

171
00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:48,240
Speaker 1: and you know, some of these other teams win and

172
00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:51,320
Speaker 1: you're out of the playoffs, Fuck, everything would be on

173
00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:54,640
Speaker 1: the table and it would be an utter disaster like

174
00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:56,440
Speaker 1: I talk about all the time, like anything less than

175
00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:58,439
Speaker 1: a Super Bowl bid for the Niners or the Ravens

176
00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:01,840
Speaker 1: is a disaster. I mean, that's like a high level disaster.

177
00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:04,480
Speaker 1: Like the Chiefs. They've had a very disappointing season. They're

178
00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:06,240
Speaker 1: still gonna host a playoff game. They're probably gonna win

179
00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:08,040
Speaker 1: a plaoff game. They're gonna be in the second round. Like,

180
00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:12,280
Speaker 1: you know, this is not that bad, right, miss the playoffs,

181
00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:14,960
Speaker 1: like the Steelers more than likely are gonna miss the playoffs.

182
00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:16,839
Speaker 1: Like that's awful, but we've known that now for a

183
00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:19,360
Speaker 1: couple of weeks. They put themselves in that position because

184
00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:23,080
Speaker 1: of their quarterback limbo with miss Trubisky. The Bills have

185
00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:26,439
Speaker 1: no excuse and they flex their muscles. Several weeks ago

186
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:29,959
Speaker 1: against the Cowboys. Was that Bills team can't compete to

187
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:31,640
Speaker 1: win the Super Bowl? The Bills team we've seen the

188
00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:33,880
Speaker 1: last couple of weeks been a little weird. Give them

189
00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:35,440
Speaker 1: a little bit of a pass against the Charger game

190
00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:37,280
Speaker 1: last week against New England, Like, what the hell was

191
00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:39,960
Speaker 1: that Zappi threw like ten touchdowns and it was a

192
00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:43,240
Speaker 1: close game? Or excuse me, ten interceptions? Like legitimately, I

193
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:45,400
Speaker 1: think you had three or four interceptions in a half.

194
00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:49,559
Speaker 1: How are they in this game? So to me, a

195
00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:52,319
Speaker 1: lot of pressure on this game. The Bills are favored.

196
00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:55,640
Speaker 1: Everyone thinks they're gonna win, including myself, But you gotta

197
00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:58,520
Speaker 1: do it, man, point of the games, and I think

198
00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:00,720
Speaker 1: there's a ton of pressure on Josh Allen. There's obviously

199
00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:02,960
Speaker 1: a ton of pressure on the head coach. This game

200
00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:05,959
Speaker 1: is just it's fascinating to me Sunday night football. Millions

201
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:08,600
Speaker 1: of people are gonna be watching, very, very excited. It

202
00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:11,280
Speaker 1: doesn't get any better in this right, it really doesn't,

203
00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:15,120
Speaker 1: And it'd be impressive given where they sat even a

204
00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:17,400
Speaker 1: month ago, that looked like the Bills were headed toward

205
00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:19,600
Speaker 1: eight nine wins. Now all of a sudden, you win this,

206
00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:22,480
Speaker 1: you're eleven wins, You win the division for whatever, the

207
00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:26,040
Speaker 1: third fourth straight year, you're the two seed. It looks

208
00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:28,040
Speaker 1: like you have a pretty clear path to get back,

209
00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:31,360
Speaker 1: you know, to an AFC championship game. You get the

210
00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:35,800
Speaker 1: Chiefs potentially at home. Pretty big deal. So Bills to

211
00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:38,480
Speaker 1: me are easily number one, number two, And it's not

212
00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:41,120
Speaker 1: that far away from the Bills in the simple fact

213
00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:45,720
Speaker 1: that Matt Lafleur back to back years win and get

214
00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:49,719
Speaker 1: in at home, win and get in at home, win

215
00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:53,160
Speaker 1: and get in games are all obviously hard. It's football.

216
00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:55,959
Speaker 1: This isn't a series. You don't get like, hey, we

217
00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:58,560
Speaker 1: just got to win two of our four game series.

218
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:00,480
Speaker 1: That's not the way it works. You get one game,

219
00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:03,160
Speaker 1: sixty minutes, should can go weird, Your quarterback can be off,

220
00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:05,680
Speaker 1: things can happen. Last year he lost to the Lions.

221
00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:08,480
Speaker 1: Now I would say that that loss is age well

222
00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:10,439
Speaker 1: because the Lions are good and they had a ton

223
00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:12,920
Speaker 1: of momentum. Now they came in to Lambeau. I would say,

224
00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:14,600
Speaker 1: the thing that didn't age well, it's like Jared Goff

225
00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:17,359
Speaker 1: doesn't play well outside. Do you lose in that situation

226
00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:19,520
Speaker 1: with Rogers? Even having a down year like that was

227
00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:23,320
Speaker 1: pretty bad. I would say this situation a little similar.

228
00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:27,240
Speaker 1: Playing a divisional foe with a lot of momentum. Defense

229
00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:30,480
Speaker 1: is playing really well. But I just talk to a

230
00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:35,280
Speaker 1: buddy who is a big Packer fan at TPC where

231
00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:37,480
Speaker 1: I played golf. I had to go there to re

232
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:40,280
Speaker 1: up my little membership here so I can keep playing golf,

233
00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:43,040
Speaker 1: and we were like, you know the problem with Jordan

234
00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:46,960
Speaker 1: Love is that, like you never quite know what you're

235
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:49,440
Speaker 1: gonna get when he's on. You're like, did they just

236
00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:53,760
Speaker 1: find their next Rogers forth? Like the version we've seen

237
00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:57,719
Speaker 1: against Minnesota. He's had several games in primetime situations. The

238
00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:00,760
Speaker 1: guy we saw against the Lions on Thanksgiving, Holy shit,

239
00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:03,480
Speaker 1: I mean that's a forty to forty five million dollar quarterback.

240
00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:05,199
Speaker 1: And then he's had games. Now a lot of them

241
00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:08,160
Speaker 1: were early, but they've been sprinkled throughout the year where

242
00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:12,080
Speaker 1: you're just like a lettle off. And listen, you, in theory,

243
00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:15,319
Speaker 1: should have the better quarterback. You obviously have the better coach.

244
00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:16,840
Speaker 1: He's won a bunch of games, he's been in the

245
00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:21,160
Speaker 1: playoffs several times. It's in lambeau Field. Can't lose this game.

246
00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:24,760
Speaker 1: You just can't lose this game. And your offense has

247
00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:29,280
Speaker 1: been humming. Listen, you wouldn't be in this position if

248
00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:32,760
Speaker 1: your defense wasn't so shitty. And to me, that's on

249
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:37,000
Speaker 1: the floor because Joe Barry's buddy. So anytime you hire

250
00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:39,960
Speaker 1: your buddy, most guys are friends, right. Belichick likes all

251
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:42,360
Speaker 1: the guys that have worked for him, Andy Reid's buddies.

252
00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:44,360
Speaker 1: With all these guys, at least his buddies tend to

253
00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:46,600
Speaker 1: be good. If you're gonna hire a buddy, he's gonna

254
00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:49,040
Speaker 1: be shitty. We're gonna have a problem. And I understand.

255
00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:51,560
Speaker 1: You know, the Packers easily have one of the biggest

256
00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:53,800
Speaker 1: fan bases in the league, and they've been pissed off

257
00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:56,800
Speaker 1: all year long. And I think it's been justifiably so,

258
00:12:57,360 --> 00:12:59,880
Speaker 1: because you can't have a guy who just we've invested

259
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:02,240
Speaker 1: so much on the defensive side, of the ball, and

260
00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:07,880
Speaker 1: I do think as it's aged that move by JayR Alexander,

261
00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:11,120
Speaker 1: I don't think it happens if you have a legitimate

262
00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:13,440
Speaker 1: defensive coordinator, Like how do you not have like Vic

263
00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:16,480
Speaker 1: Fangio or Brian Flores or Jim Schwartz or just someone

264
00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:19,920
Speaker 1: real like that shit just wouldn't be tolerated. Like listen,

265
00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:22,400
Speaker 1: offensive coaches can be a little liberal, a little more

266
00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:26,920
Speaker 1: open minded in terms of like less structure, cool with

267
00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:29,880
Speaker 1: kind of pushing the envelope. Defensive coaches do not mess around.

268
00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:32,000
Speaker 1: Think about the defensive coaches over the history of the league.

269
00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:38,000
Speaker 1: It's like parcels lebau Belichick. You know, they're just kind

270
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:43,040
Speaker 1: of angrier curmudgeons. It's just it's not tolerated. And I

271
00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:46,480
Speaker 1: think that was if they were to lose this game.

272
00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:50,200
Speaker 1: This season, in a weird way, was somewhat of a

273
00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:53,920
Speaker 1: success because of the progress Jordan Love made, but also

274
00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:57,760
Speaker 1: would be looked at like, Matt, how did you tolerate

275
00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:02,040
Speaker 1: this guy coaching your defense? From a schematic standpoint, it

276
00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:05,520
Speaker 1: was a disaster. And then the situation with Jay Alexander

277
00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:08,319
Speaker 1: has to be a reflection of the guy you know

278
00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:11,560
Speaker 1: you put in task of that unit because you're either

279
00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:15,400
Speaker 1: coaching or allowing it to happen. And even if they

280
00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:17,880
Speaker 1: make it, I still think they'll make a defensive coordinator

281
00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:21,400
Speaker 1: change when the dust settles, whenever their season ends. He

282
00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:23,640
Speaker 1: can't lose his game at home to the Bears. And

283
00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:28,000
Speaker 1: speaking of the Bears, as of sitting here right now,

284
00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:30,360
Speaker 1: I think Justin Fields is not going to be on

285
00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:33,360
Speaker 1: the Chicago Bears. I think it's a very sexy thing online,

286
00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:35,480
Speaker 1: like look what he's done. Look at the Bear I

287
00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:38,960
Speaker 1: mean their Defen's been really good. I look today. He

288
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:45,000
Speaker 1: has thrown five touchdowns since the middle of November. Total

289
00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:50,480
Speaker 1: five touchdowns. Five touchdowns. Obviously he has several running and

290
00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:53,840
Speaker 1: he's no one's ever disputed, including me, who thought he

291
00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:56,640
Speaker 1: should be the number two pick in the draft behind

292
00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:59,120
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence. And when they took Zach Willis either the

293
00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:00,600
Speaker 1: forty nine or should have take get him instead of

294
00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:03,520
Speaker 1: Trey Lancer mac Jones for some reason, Kyle Shanahan love

295
00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:05,720
Speaker 1: those two guys honestly, like mac Jones more. He just

296
00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:07,920
Speaker 1: got talked out of it. Obviously a disaster they got it.

297
00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:10,120
Speaker 1: Didn't take mac Jones either, but that's his story for

298
00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:13,280
Speaker 1: another day. This guy is a great athlete. Can you

299
00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:17,720
Speaker 1: pass the ball? And to me, like quarterback when you

300
00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:20,800
Speaker 1: play another quarterback, like Peyton versus Brady, they're never playing

301
00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:22,360
Speaker 1: each other because they're never on the field at the

302
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:24,880
Speaker 1: same time. But I've been to a lot of NFL games,

303
00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:27,440
Speaker 1: and the one thing is when you are there live

304
00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:30,320
Speaker 1: and you see your guy against their guy on and off,

305
00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:32,280
Speaker 1: kind of yin and yang, you kind of get a

306
00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:34,560
Speaker 1: good feel like is our guy as good as their guy?

307
00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:37,600
Speaker 1: Because Jordan Love's going nowhere? Right, Jordan Love? They got

308
00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:40,280
Speaker 1: something there? Like everyone keeps saying they got something here

309
00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:44,560
Speaker 1: with fields? Do they really? Do they really? I wanted

310
00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:46,520
Speaker 1: to believe that a long time ago. I don't because

311
00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:48,920
Speaker 1: I don't think he throws the ball well enough. And

312
00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:51,520
Speaker 1: Michael Lombardi have heard him say this on his podcast.

313
00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:54,560
Speaker 1: I think we're miss and he brings up a good point,

314
00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:57,120
Speaker 1: like the conversation should be about, like are you willing

315
00:15:57,160 --> 00:16:00,080
Speaker 1: to extend this guy? And this is the NFL. You

316
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:02,920
Speaker 1: don't extend a guy like three years, thirty million dollars.

317
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:05,680
Speaker 1: But even if you could, is this guy good enough

318
00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:08,640
Speaker 1: to win you playoff games? I don't know if Kyleb

319
00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:10,920
Speaker 1: Williams is no clue. I know a lot of people

320
00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:13,120
Speaker 1: slide into my DMS and a lot of people think

321
00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:15,160
Speaker 1: he's gonna be a bus think he's overrated. Totally get

322
00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:18,880
Speaker 1: it because most quarterbacks typically are the hype cycle the

323
00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:21,160
Speaker 1: way we talk about it, it's just the nature of

324
00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:24,960
Speaker 1: kind of the world that is college prospects to the draft.

325
00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:29,240
Speaker 1: But I would rather have Kayleb Williams than Justin Fields,

326
00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:32,840
Speaker 1: especially to reset my clock. The other thing is like,

327
00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:35,600
Speaker 1: am I really you know, think about all the draft

328
00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:38,000
Speaker 1: capital you could have. Well, yeah, you could definitely improve

329
00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:40,080
Speaker 1: your team, trade back a little bit, use your other

330
00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:42,720
Speaker 1: first round pick. But if this guy can't throw the

331
00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:45,440
Speaker 1: ball well enough, you're not beating all the good teams

332
00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:49,280
Speaker 1: in the NFC who scoring points is no issue for them.

333
00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:52,560
Speaker 1: And I've said it from the jump. The conversation about

334
00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:54,640
Speaker 1: Justin Fields to me is more about this is one

335
00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:57,120
Speaker 1: of the biggest offseasons in the history of the franchise.

336
00:16:57,520 --> 00:16:59,720
Speaker 1: They have the number one overall pick in the draft,

337
00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:04,040
Speaker 1: with an excellent quarterback draft, and their quarterback, while improved,

338
00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:07,520
Speaker 1: does he just scream franchise guy for you? Like, is

339
00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:09,840
Speaker 1: Justin Field's gonna be a starter for ten years, you're

340
00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:12,880
Speaker 1: gonna rattle off playoff victories. I can't say that, neither

341
00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:15,480
Speaker 1: can they. So you get this opportunity, you're gonna keep

342
00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:18,080
Speaker 1: everyone in the organization and let them make the decisions.

343
00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:20,720
Speaker 1: That feels pretty bold to me, and it kind of

344
00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:23,280
Speaker 1: feels like that's where it's trending. And listen, Ebra Flu's

345
00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:26,399
Speaker 1: clearly a pretty good defensive coach. But I don't know,

346
00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:30,359
Speaker 1: I have no faith in the Bears making the right decision.

347
00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:34,400
Speaker 1: Just look historically at their organization, old school organization, kind

348
00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:36,240
Speaker 1: of a mom and pop shop, despite being in this

349
00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:39,159
Speaker 1: massive market and having this, you know, cash cow of

350
00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:40,879
Speaker 1: a team if they wanted to put it for sale.

351
00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:44,359
Speaker 1: But and just because you get some rich owner doesn't

352
00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:47,080
Speaker 1: guarantee you anything. Look at David Temper, He's a fucking disaster.

353
00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:50,320
Speaker 1: But I just I got to move on from Justin Fields.

354
00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:53,320
Speaker 1: Now you go into Lambeau. He throws like four touchdowns.

355
00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:56,600
Speaker 1: You're like, well, maybe maybe I'm wrong. I'm not acting

356
00:17:56,680 --> 00:17:58,400
Speaker 1: like I'm then know it all, be it all here

357
00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:01,320
Speaker 1: on this one, but know it all be at all?

358
00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:04,400
Speaker 1: Is that even know all be all? I just think

359
00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:07,720
Speaker 1: that Justin Fields he got to go and I luckily

360
00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:09,800
Speaker 1: for them, you'd want a good game. Trade him for

361
00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:13,200
Speaker 1: like a second and third round pick, Caleb Williams, draft

362
00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:17,760
Speaker 1: another skill guy USO second round third developed more depth,

363
00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:21,040
Speaker 1: signed Jalen Johnson. Your defense is good. I think we'd

364
00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:23,520
Speaker 1: be thinking the Bears like could make some noise next year.

365
00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:28,000
Speaker 1: It was hard like I did not include the NFC

366
00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:32,000
Speaker 1: South on this list. I just do not care. To me, Tampa,

367
00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:35,080
Speaker 1: the Saints, like, you guys are irrelevant. I can't get

368
00:18:35,119 --> 00:18:38,639
Speaker 1: you out of the playoffs quickly enough. Atlanta, give me

369
00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:42,080
Speaker 1: a break. I don't even I'm not even entertaining talking

370
00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:45,879
Speaker 1: about them. Just go away, fire coach, start over and

371
00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:47,760
Speaker 1: tell me when you have a real quarterback and a

372
00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:49,920
Speaker 1: real coach. And listen, I think Arthur's Smith's a real

373
00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:52,639
Speaker 1: coach as an offensive coordinator. Clearly, his dad's one of

374
00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:57,480
Speaker 1: the all time great CEOs. Listen. Sometimes you're not in

375
00:18:57,480 --> 00:18:58,920
Speaker 1: this notion that they're like, well, I didn't get a

376
00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:02,320
Speaker 1: fair shake. Fuck how he got a million opportunities. He

377
00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:05,000
Speaker 1: had opportunities to sign different quarterbacks. He just always refused.

378
00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:07,800
Speaker 1: He like Desmond Ritter, give me a break. But I

379
00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:13,879
Speaker 1: do think the Jags, you get this guy who And

380
00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:16,280
Speaker 1: I don't think it's just like type for people to

381
00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:20,360
Speaker 1: talk about football. Everyone I knew that did the SEC,

382
00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:23,000
Speaker 1: which includes Clemson in Florida State. You know that southern

383
00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:25,879
Speaker 1: region loved Trevor Lawrence. They not only thought he was

384
00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:28,960
Speaker 1: the number one quarterback in the draft, which was like consensus,

385
00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:32,320
Speaker 1: they thought he was like an elite prospect. And let's

386
00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:35,400
Speaker 1: face it, he just hasn't been. He just hasn't been

387
00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:37,560
Speaker 1: as good as living up to the hype. And it

388
00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:40,800
Speaker 1: happens sometimes the hype train on certain guys like Zion.

389
00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:43,439
Speaker 1: It's not like Zion doesn't have the talent that's obvious

390
00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:45,800
Speaker 1: because he's fat, can't stall beaten. We all struggle with

391
00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:48,720
Speaker 1: that problem. Is like he's a professional athlete and it's

392
00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:51,720
Speaker 1: well known, like he just can't stop eating, which he

393
00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:53,920
Speaker 1: gets too heavy and then he gets injured. But like

394
00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:57,480
Speaker 1: you watch Zion, if he's just in semi shape, he

395
00:19:57,520 --> 00:20:00,000
Speaker 1: can do thirty and twenty with his eyes closed right

396
00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:02,960
Speaker 1: to like he was an all time prospect. And clearly

397
00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:05,480
Speaker 1: the off the field or off the court is what

398
00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:09,840
Speaker 1: slows him down, not the talent, right, Trevor Lawrence, all

399
00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:12,680
Speaker 1: this hype off the field clearly ain't an issue. It's

400
00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:16,160
Speaker 1: not like he's screwing around. Very mature guy, right, I don't.

401
00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:19,040
Speaker 1: I don't think he's got issues with his diet. It's

402
00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:21,320
Speaker 1: just you watch him player. Go Am I missing something

403
00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:26,320
Speaker 1: like where's this top five quarterback thing? Because hell, coming

404
00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:28,040
Speaker 1: into the season, I was like, I expect them to

405
00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:30,000
Speaker 1: be him to be a top five quarterback, them to

406
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:31,600
Speaker 1: win eleven and twelve games. I thought they'd be one

407
00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:34,439
Speaker 1: of the best offenses in the league. And you know,

408
00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:36,560
Speaker 1: we don't even know if he's gonna play. And I

409
00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:39,040
Speaker 1: include Doug on this. They got to win this game.

410
00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:43,000
Speaker 1: I mean, they're playing the Titans, who are a train wreck.

411
00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:46,840
Speaker 1: Vrabel's losing it on reporters. A lot of reports think

412
00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:49,800
Speaker 1: that you know, he wants out, which is a little weird.

413
00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:52,760
Speaker 1: Nashvill is just an incredible place. But listen, if you

414
00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:54,680
Speaker 1: don't have trust in your own er, if you don't

415
00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:58,239
Speaker 1: feel comfortable with the GM and the structural setup like

416
00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:00,520
Speaker 1: this is, he wouldn't be the first. There's been a

417
00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:02,760
Speaker 1: long line of them. You know, Bill Parcells, a lot

418
00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:06,040
Speaker 1: of homegrown, a lot of guys about Gruden. Listen, coaches

419
00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:09,560
Speaker 1: get big egos, money they don't like answering to people,

420
00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:13,800
Speaker 1: no different than you know players sometimes. So this thing,

421
00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:17,000
Speaker 1: the Jacks have to win this game. They win this game,

422
00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:19,160
Speaker 1: they win the division. Now I think they'll be one

423
00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:22,280
Speaker 1: and done. I like Cleveland in that matchup, just like

424
00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:24,119
Speaker 1: last year. I like the Chargers in that matchup. The

425
00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:27,760
Speaker 1: problem was as I underestimated Brandon Staley in a defensive

426
00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:30,439
Speaker 1: unit that couldn't cover me or you, and that clearly

427
00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:32,680
Speaker 1: took shape in the second half when they blew coverage

428
00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:35,119
Speaker 1: after coverage in a game that you can't blow like

429
00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:38,399
Speaker 1: you're gonna cruise to a victory, nice little playoff victory

430
00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:41,159
Speaker 1: for Brandon Staley. All of a sudden they lose. I

431
00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:43,080
Speaker 1: don't know if they lose quite like that. I just

432
00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:47,320
Speaker 1: would imagine the Browns would overwhelm Trevor Lawrence with which

433
00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:50,440
Speaker 1: the way he has played this year. But there's tangible

434
00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:53,679
Speaker 1: like you lose this game, like it'd be hard to

435
00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:58,160
Speaker 1: look at them the same. Doug included, but specifically Trevor Lawrence. Listen,

436
00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:00,679
Speaker 1: I like Doug if your quarterback, and part of the

437
00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:02,960
Speaker 1: reason that there was so much pressure when you took

438
00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:05,240
Speaker 1: this job with Doug Peterson was like, well, you get

439
00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:08,800
Speaker 1: this generational player, and sometimes I think we throw out

440
00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:12,720
Speaker 1: that word a little much. Now I understand the scouting

441
00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:16,160
Speaker 1: community believe that sometimes they're all just wrong. Sometimes they're

442
00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:18,840
Speaker 1: all just wrong right, And it's rare that it happens

443
00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:21,200
Speaker 1: at quarterback. And I think we're gonna see the same

444
00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:23,000
Speaker 1: thing with Caleb Williams in the sense the hype on

445
00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:26,600
Speaker 1: Caleb Williams couldn't be any stronger. Like Trevor Lawrence. It's

446
00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:30,040
Speaker 1: built up now for twenty four months. So it's one

447
00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:31,800
Speaker 1: thing when you just become the top player in a

448
00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:34,199
Speaker 1: given year. Joe Burrow, I wouldn't say came out of

449
00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:36,919
Speaker 1: nowhere because he was starting quarterback at LSU but was

450
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:38,679
Speaker 1: not viewed as a top pick, viewed as a mid

451
00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:41,440
Speaker 1: round er, comes back great season, goes number one. Same

452
00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:43,160
Speaker 1: thing with Baker Mayfield, Like it was like a slow

453
00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:45,240
Speaker 1: build and then you just watch them towards the end,

454
00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:48,439
Speaker 1: you're like, this guy's a really good college player. Trevor

455
00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:50,639
Speaker 1: Lawrence and Caleb Williams has been all the hype, all

456
00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:52,400
Speaker 1: the hype, all the hype, all the hype. Even since

457
00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:54,439
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence got in the NFL. They hype the hype

458
00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:57,200
Speaker 1: and you're sitting on your couch like, I don't know, man,

459
00:22:57,520 --> 00:23:00,840
Speaker 1: but am I missing something here? I have no dog

460
00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:02,520
Speaker 1: in the fight, Like I'm technically rude. I'd like to

461
00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:05,960
Speaker 1: see another good quarterback, but he just hasn't even come

462
00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:09,680
Speaker 1: close to living up to the hype. So they lose

463
00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:12,320
Speaker 1: this weekend. Holy shit, you never know, Shot Coln maybe

464
00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:15,359
Speaker 1: fires people and last but not least, Like I didn't

465
00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:17,919
Speaker 1: include Tomlin on this list because they don't even control

466
00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:20,679
Speaker 1: their own destiny. Right Like I said earlier, I did

467
00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:24,400
Speaker 1: not include Indy or Houston on this list, neither team

468
00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:26,879
Speaker 1: if either team misses the playoffs. Not a soul picked

469
00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:29,760
Speaker 1: the Colts or the Texans to even be in the mix,

470
00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:32,760
Speaker 1: So I don't think there's any pressure on those teams.

471
00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:36,280
Speaker 1: I think Jim Harbaugh is tangible pressure to win a

472
00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:41,120
Speaker 1: national championship because by all accounts and Chefter's pretty tight end,

473
00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:43,760
Speaker 1: it surely feels like he's leaving. Like it feels like

474
00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:47,119
Speaker 1: it would be an upset if Jim Harbaugh comes out.

475
00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:49,879
Speaker 1: You know, the hiring cycle this year is different. They

476
00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:52,800
Speaker 1: have set new rules and parameters, so I don't think

477
00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:54,480
Speaker 1: a lot of guys are gonna get hired quickly. You're

478
00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:56,920
Speaker 1: not even able to interview people that are coaching in

479
00:23:56,960 --> 00:23:59,640
Speaker 1: the playoffs to like the twenty first of this month.

480
00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:03,280
Speaker 1: So it's you're not going to get hires as quickly

481
00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:05,919
Speaker 1: as normal, even some of these guys like Antonio Piers.

482
00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:08,719
Speaker 1: If Mark Davis wants to hire Antonio Peers, he has

483
00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:10,560
Speaker 1: to go through this whole dog and pony show of

484
00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:13,359
Speaker 1: interviewing people, and it's gonna take a while. It just

485
00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:16,480
Speaker 1: especially because some of these organizations also have GM jobs open.

486
00:24:17,119 --> 00:24:22,240
Speaker 1: That Jim Harbaugh has proven to be a winner can't

487
00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:25,960
Speaker 1: be argued right one In San Diego, Bruce Feldman once

488
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:28,720
Speaker 1: told me he thought Stanford's the most impressive college turnaround

489
00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:31,760
Speaker 1: he's ever seen. One, it's a niche school. You have

490
00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:35,600
Speaker 1: to get guys who academically qualify. And two, they were

491
00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:38,040
Speaker 1: god awful when he took the job. That they were

492
00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:41,840
Speaker 1: one and eleven with no future insight, and within three

493
00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:44,000
Speaker 1: years had Andrew luck and they were in a BCS game.

494
00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:46,800
Speaker 1: So and then when the Niners, while they had talent

495
00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:49,960
Speaker 1: on their roster, were a fucking joke, Pete Carroll and

496
00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:53,760
Speaker 1: Matt Lioner both returned to school five or six whatever

497
00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:55,520
Speaker 1: year that was because they wanted no part of the

498
00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:58,200
Speaker 1: San Franco forty nine ers. They were laughing stock once

499
00:24:58,240 --> 00:25:01,400
Speaker 1: Andy de Bartlow got rid of the team. And obviously Michigan,

500
00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:06,000
Speaker 1: probably his least impressive job, took a little longer, and

501
00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:08,960
Speaker 1: because it should be easier there to win, listen it.

502
00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:12,560
Speaker 1: I would have bet on the turnaround happening faster, but

503
00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:16,159
Speaker 1: the turnaround happened. He now owns Ryan Day. He is

504
00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:19,320
Speaker 1: a major reason Ryan Day's officially on the hot seat

505
00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:21,720
Speaker 1: right now, and he just got I would say the

506
00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:25,240
Speaker 1: biggest win of his coaching career against Nick Saban in

507
00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:27,760
Speaker 1: the Final four. I think it's bigger than any playoff

508
00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:30,000
Speaker 1: win he's ever had. I would say the biggest NFL

509
00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:32,720
Speaker 1: win he'd ever had was the Conference championship. It was

510
00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:36,400
Speaker 1: against Mike Smith in Atlanta. You know, if he had

511
00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:38,600
Speaker 1: beat Aaron Rodgers in that situation, and I know he

512
00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:42,000
Speaker 1: beat Aaron Rodgers and McCarthy in the playoffs, but I

513
00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:44,880
Speaker 1: think that against Sabin is his biggest win. Even his mother,

514
00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:47,440
Speaker 1: if you watch that video, was stunned. She's like, Oh,

515
00:25:47,480 --> 00:25:51,360
Speaker 1: I can't believe we would That's his mom. So if

516
00:25:51,359 --> 00:25:53,400
Speaker 1: we're all stunned, because, let's face it, we all were.

517
00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:55,560
Speaker 1: I did not believe they were gonna go the field

518
00:25:55,960 --> 00:25:58,920
Speaker 1: with whatever under four minutes left, go seventy five eighty

519
00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:01,000
Speaker 1: yards to the score touchdow and then they were even

520
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:04,280
Speaker 1: in fourth and short early on the possession. But he

521
00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:08,000
Speaker 1: gotta win. I do think he needs to validate it

522
00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:10,520
Speaker 1: because even when he comes back to the NFL, is like,

523
00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:12,280
Speaker 1: can he win a super Bowl because he's never won one.

524
00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:13,840
Speaker 1: But I do think we'll look at him like a

525
00:26:13,960 --> 00:26:17,720
Speaker 1: championship level guy if he loses this game. The narrative

526
00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:20,960
Speaker 1: around Jim Harbaugh hasn't really changed, like he's betting this

527
00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:23,920
Speaker 1: situation before. Hell, the last two years in the playoffs

528
00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:26,440
Speaker 1: he's lost. We just assume he's gonna lose the big games.

529
00:26:26,720 --> 00:26:29,840
Speaker 1: It's why I'm very tempted. Listen, I got a seven

530
00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:32,200
Speaker 1: to one ticket on Washington. I might drive down to

531
00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:34,280
Speaker 1: the DraftKings sportsbook. I don't know why. I just don't

532
00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:35,800
Speaker 1: do it online, which I might. I just kind of

533
00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:38,719
Speaker 1: like going into sportsbook gets my juice'es fawn of taking

534
00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:40,960
Speaker 1: Washington four and a half. I just view it as

535
00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:43,520
Speaker 1: value and I also just kind of betting against Harbaugh.

536
00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:45,320
Speaker 1: I think he gets a little tight in this situation.

537
00:26:46,040 --> 00:26:50,080
Speaker 1: And if it wasn't for me betting on Washington and

538
00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:52,600
Speaker 1: just a team that I've felt faith in, I would

539
00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:55,040
Speaker 1: be rooting heavily for Jim Harbaugh because I want to

540
00:26:55,080 --> 00:26:57,399
Speaker 1: see this guy become a champion, because I know how

541
00:26:57,440 --> 00:26:59,600
Speaker 1: much he loves football. I know how much it means

542
00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:01,840
Speaker 1: to his face. It's a way a lot. They are

543
00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:06,719
Speaker 1: the ultimate football guys, football feel Jack coach forever, obviously,

544
00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:10,120
Speaker 1: Jim and John. It doesn't get any more football than

545
00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:14,600
Speaker 1: the Harboss. Right, They're as football as football gets. And

546
00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:17,280
Speaker 1: I would be rooting for him, but I can't because

547
00:27:17,280 --> 00:27:19,680
Speaker 1: I'm betting against him, and I don't feel that bad

548
00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:23,119
Speaker 1: betting against him. It's why I didn't like Listen. I

549
00:27:23,119 --> 00:27:27,520
Speaker 1: thought Michigan almost parlayed Washington Michigan, but I was like,

550
00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:30,320
Speaker 1: do I trust Harball against Saban? And I felt pretty

551
00:27:30,359 --> 00:27:32,240
Speaker 1: good about not doing it the majority of the game

552
00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:35,040
Speaker 1: because I'm like, of course, Nick Saban with a shitty

553
00:27:35,160 --> 00:27:37,280
Speaker 1: version of Alabama relative to the rest of the country

554
00:27:37,359 --> 00:27:39,159
Speaker 1: is still pretty good. But for him, I mean, it

555
00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:42,399
Speaker 1: was even he admitted it wasn't a great team. He

556
00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:45,200
Speaker 1: had him on the Ropes, so you know, du Bord,

557
00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:48,359
Speaker 1: they have a much more explosive offense. But Jim wins this.

558
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:53,360
Speaker 1: It does just kind of end to conversation, which is fair, now,

559
00:27:53,640 --> 00:27:56,840
Speaker 1: like can this guy win when it really matters, because

560
00:27:56,840 --> 00:27:59,080
Speaker 1: we know he can win if the Raiders hire him,

561
00:27:59,080 --> 00:28:01,680
Speaker 1: the Chargers hire him going to the playoffs? The rate,

562
00:28:01,800 --> 00:28:03,359
Speaker 1: you know what the Raiders would do to go to

563
00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:06,320
Speaker 1: the playoffs on a yearly basis, even the Chargers how

564
00:28:06,359 --> 00:28:09,000
Speaker 1: often they've made the playoffs the last decade, like two times.

565
00:28:09,119 --> 00:28:12,040
Speaker 1: It's not like they've lacked talent. So these teams would

566
00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:14,840
Speaker 1: die just consistently beat you know, ten to eleven wins

567
00:28:15,119 --> 00:28:20,080
Speaker 1: wild card teams. They would pay fifteen eighteen million dollars

568
00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:23,399
Speaker 1: for three straight playoff appearances. It it'll get you that

569
00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:26,439
Speaker 1: he's proven that once you get there, though, kidding win,

570
00:28:27,640 --> 00:28:30,480
Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't feel great about it. So

571
00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:33,320
Speaker 1: I think he has the least amount because he's already

572
00:28:33,359 --> 00:28:37,199
Speaker 1: resurrected the program not debatable. He's about to send whatever

573
00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:41,000
Speaker 1: fifteen sixteen, seventeen guys into the NFL off this team alone,

574
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:42,920
Speaker 1: and he's produced a ton of NFL guys since he's

575
00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:45,520
Speaker 1: been there. We know he's really good, but there's a

576
00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:47,600
Speaker 1: difference between really good and like, can you get it

577
00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:49,520
Speaker 1: done in the biggest moment, Because no matter how much

578
00:28:49,520 --> 00:28:52,280
Speaker 1: shit we talk about a certain coach, once you got

579
00:28:52,280 --> 00:28:54,960
Speaker 1: a championship, it's like, listen, say whatever you want about me.

580
00:28:55,120 --> 00:28:58,280
Speaker 1: If I'm Mike McCarthy, I got a ring, Sean McVay,

581
00:28:58,400 --> 00:29:01,240
Speaker 1: John Harbutts, listen, Kyle Shanahan kind of has that right now.

582
00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:03,560
Speaker 1: It's like until he wins it, he's kind of got

583
00:29:03,840 --> 00:29:06,560
Speaker 1: some Jim Harbob. I mean, they're different people, and he

584
00:29:06,640 --> 00:29:08,560
Speaker 1: battled that forever when he was with the Eagles and

585
00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:11,480
Speaker 1: even early on in Kansas City. So winning that big

586
00:29:11,520 --> 00:29:16,000
Speaker 1: game I think legitimately would change his life. Not financially,

587
00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:17,959
Speaker 1: he's super rich. He's gonna make money no matter what,

588
00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:20,720
Speaker 1: not even on the field. They're gonna keep winning wherever

589
00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:23,920
Speaker 1: he goes. But like, winning that game and find me

590
00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:26,760
Speaker 1: a better opportunity of this. He's I would say, a

591
00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:30,200
Speaker 1: pretty big favorite four and a half. Who knows my kickoff,

592
00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:38,880
Speaker 1: he might be a five point favorite. Okay, let's bang

593
00:29:38,920 --> 00:29:42,240
Speaker 1: out a couple of mail bag questions. Very very easy

594
00:29:42,280 --> 00:29:44,640
Speaker 1: to get in that little thing we call the Middlecoff

595
00:29:44,680 --> 00:29:50,800
Speaker 1: mailbag at John Middlecoff my Instagram DMS wide open fire

596
00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:53,800
Speaker 1: in him get your question. Like my guy Jason here

597
00:29:54,880 --> 00:29:58,560
Speaker 1: been saying for months, Pennix is who the Vikings should

598
00:29:58,560 --> 00:30:01,120
Speaker 1: take in the draft. He could be the next Borrough

599
00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:05,480
Speaker 1: and stepping immediately make an impact with plenty of weapons

600
00:30:05,560 --> 00:30:08,960
Speaker 1: already there. What are your thoughts on what the Viking

601
00:30:08,960 --> 00:30:12,560
Speaker 1: should do at quarterback? I actually think they're going to

602
00:30:12,640 --> 00:30:15,720
Speaker 1: resign Kirk Cousins. Now he might have a market, right,

603
00:30:15,760 --> 00:30:19,680
Speaker 1: I mean teams like why wouldn't Denver be interested? Atlanta,

604
00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:23,680
Speaker 1: the New England Patriots. So it depends on the number

605
00:30:24,080 --> 00:30:27,680
Speaker 1: with Cousins, but I do think he was really good

606
00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:30,480
Speaker 1: for him And if you can get him back on

607
00:30:30,640 --> 00:30:34,440
Speaker 1: like one year twenty million dollar deal and incentivize it

608
00:30:34,520 --> 00:30:37,440
Speaker 1: up or maybe one year fifteen million dollars and still

609
00:30:37,480 --> 00:30:39,920
Speaker 1: look to trade up and get a quarterback, right. The

610
00:30:39,960 --> 00:30:42,160
Speaker 1: Eagles did that once upon a time with Sam Bradford

611
00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:45,040
Speaker 1: when they traded up to get Carson Wentz. So the

612
00:30:45,040 --> 00:30:46,920
Speaker 1: forty nine ers did it when they had Jimmy Garoppolo

613
00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:49,400
Speaker 1: and they traded up to get Trey Lance. So I

614
00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:52,280
Speaker 1: think you could double down. I think you can bring

615
00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:54,880
Speaker 1: cousins back who you know, thirty six years old. It's

616
00:30:54,920 --> 00:30:57,680
Speaker 1: not going to take some long term contract now the money,

617
00:30:58,600 --> 00:31:00,560
Speaker 1: it's just guestimating how much he's going to make. I

618
00:31:00,760 --> 00:31:03,520
Speaker 1: have no clue, but try to do something like that

619
00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:08,080
Speaker 1: and then draft a guy if you want Panix though,

620
00:31:08,160 --> 00:31:10,360
Speaker 1: I mean, what's your guys? You guys have to trade up.

621
00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:12,120
Speaker 1: I don't know exactly know where you are in the draft,

622
00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:15,400
Speaker 1: but you're not. You've won enough games that I think

623
00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:17,440
Speaker 1: when the dust settles, I said yesterday, I think he

624
00:31:17,440 --> 00:31:19,480
Speaker 1: goes number two, or has a chance to go number

625
00:31:19,480 --> 00:31:22,840
Speaker 1: two if he were to win Monday night, or just

626
00:31:23,080 --> 00:31:26,240
Speaker 1: even if they lose and he plays well again, how

627
00:31:26,240 --> 00:31:28,480
Speaker 1: does he not like be a lock top five pick.

628
00:31:29,520 --> 00:31:31,760
Speaker 1: Really love your comments today regarding the culture of the

629
00:31:31,840 --> 00:31:35,080
Speaker 1: Niners and the Rams. Those teams are a reflection of

630
00:31:35,080 --> 00:31:37,680
Speaker 1: their coaches. Wanted to add just a little to your

631
00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:41,840
Speaker 1: comment about the Navy Seals and the training they go through. Yes,

632
00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:45,880
Speaker 1: we do believe in training hard. Yes we do lose

633
00:31:45,880 --> 00:31:48,920
Speaker 1: people in training, but we also believe that the more

634
00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:52,320
Speaker 1: you sweat in training, the less you bleed in war.

635
00:31:53,960 --> 00:31:57,960
Speaker 1: Or Greek philosopher once said, I can't say his name.

636
00:31:58,400 --> 00:32:01,560
Speaker 1: We don't rise to the level of our expectations, we

637
00:32:01,680 --> 00:32:05,800
Speaker 1: fall to the level of our preparation. Holy shit, that's

638
00:32:05,800 --> 00:32:08,440
Speaker 1: a good one. It just seems that the Niners and

639
00:32:08,480 --> 00:32:11,480
Speaker 1: the Ravens are just more prepared. As a Broncos fan,

640
00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:13,520
Speaker 1: my team is out of the mix, so I find

641
00:32:13,520 --> 00:32:15,960
Speaker 1: myself rooting for the Niners, the Ravens, the Lions, or

642
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:19,760
Speaker 1: even the Browns. Just to comment from what sounds like

643
00:32:19,760 --> 00:32:22,960
Speaker 1: a Navy seal, So appreciate your effort. Appreciate your service,

644
00:32:23,040 --> 00:32:26,680
Speaker 1: not your effort. Your efforts incredible. We don't rise to

645
00:32:26,720 --> 00:32:29,280
Speaker 1: the level of expectations, but we fall to the level

646
00:32:29,320 --> 00:32:32,920
Speaker 1: of our preparation. That's that's powerful. I'm gonna have to

647
00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:34,520
Speaker 1: write that down. I might get that printed out and

648
00:32:34,560 --> 00:32:37,200
Speaker 1: put it on the wall. Is there a reason the

649
00:32:37,280 --> 00:32:40,880
Speaker 1: NFL combine is not done in full pads? Take a

650
00:32:40,920 --> 00:32:44,840
Speaker 1: guy like Pooka who ran four five seven. Is it

651
00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:47,600
Speaker 1: possible that its play speed is close to that number

652
00:32:47,600 --> 00:32:50,720
Speaker 1: in paths where maybe speed track guys that can run

653
00:32:50,720 --> 00:32:53,560
Speaker 1: a four to four without pads, but once the gear

654
00:32:53,640 --> 00:32:55,520
Speaker 1: is on, they're closer to a four or five five.

655
00:32:56,320 --> 00:32:58,160
Speaker 1: Just does it make sense why you would want to

656
00:32:58,200 --> 00:33:02,680
Speaker 1: scout a NFL player in not in pads. I'd argue

657
00:33:02,680 --> 00:33:06,120
Speaker 1: this even if they were in pads running a straight line,

658
00:33:06,360 --> 00:33:09,880
Speaker 1: that's not really normal football. Right. The only way you

659
00:33:09,920 --> 00:33:14,000
Speaker 1: can replicate play speed is the way when you're getting

660
00:33:14,040 --> 00:33:15,640
Speaker 1: like there's a corner in front of you, when you're

661
00:33:15,680 --> 00:33:18,560
Speaker 1: running across the middle, there's a linebacker bumping you, right,

662
00:33:18,600 --> 00:33:22,600
Speaker 1: if you're running back, how you bounce after contact? So

663
00:33:22,880 --> 00:33:25,320
Speaker 1: none of it would there would be no contact in

664
00:33:25,360 --> 00:33:28,040
Speaker 1: a combine or a pro day. I think it would

665
00:33:28,080 --> 00:33:30,400
Speaker 1: maybe look cooler, but I don't think it would change

666
00:33:30,440 --> 00:33:34,760
Speaker 1: that much. I also think it would throw off everything's relative, right,

667
00:33:35,040 --> 00:33:38,480
Speaker 1: And now they have the capability because of technology, they

668
00:33:38,560 --> 00:33:42,840
Speaker 1: know your play speed. When I was in when I

669
00:33:42,880 --> 00:33:46,320
Speaker 1: was at Fresno State, Pat Hill who had worked for Belichick,

670
00:33:46,560 --> 00:33:48,320
Speaker 1: you know when I worked for him, we used to

671
00:33:48,400 --> 00:33:51,400
Speaker 1: have these things called flying forty. So when you'd watch

672
00:33:51,440 --> 00:33:53,920
Speaker 1: a recruit, and obviously a lot of Division I recruits

673
00:33:54,320 --> 00:33:57,800
Speaker 1: on offense are or even on defense, chasing a guy,

674
00:33:58,120 --> 00:34:02,080
Speaker 1: you know, get a big place. So when you see

675
00:34:02,120 --> 00:34:05,200
Speaker 1: a guy run for forty yards, you can time him

676
00:34:05,400 --> 00:34:08,600
Speaker 1: in pads, right, Look at Deebo Samuel is Zebo, the

677
00:34:08,640 --> 00:34:12,160
Speaker 1: fastest guy no pads running a straight forty. No, you

678
00:34:12,200 --> 00:34:14,080
Speaker 1: put the ball in his hands with pads. How often

679
00:34:14,160 --> 00:34:16,399
Speaker 1: does he get caught. I'm not saying he's Tyreek Hill,

680
00:34:16,880 --> 00:34:20,239
Speaker 1: but he's His place speed is elite. So I think

681
00:34:20,520 --> 00:34:24,520
Speaker 1: the scouting community is relatively good at play speed and

682
00:34:24,840 --> 00:34:29,080
Speaker 1: judging that through technology or just the ability to scout that.

683
00:34:29,239 --> 00:34:31,000
Speaker 1: And I remember this used to come up a lot

684
00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:35,360
Speaker 1: in draft meetings or in recruiting meetings. This guy runs

685
00:34:35,440 --> 00:34:38,680
Speaker 1: a lot faster in that situation than he plays. So

686
00:34:38,719 --> 00:34:41,400
Speaker 1: that's always a red flag when your place speed like

687
00:34:41,520 --> 00:34:45,480
Speaker 1: Jamar Chase, right, DeVante Adams, some guys that aren't ute

688
00:34:45,560 --> 00:34:49,480
Speaker 1: unquote burners their place. Bee's awesome. That's what matters is

689
00:34:49,560 --> 00:34:53,040
Speaker 1: place speed. Sometimes you freak out and listen it does,

690
00:34:54,440 --> 00:34:56,440
Speaker 1: but just because I say it all the time. The

691
00:34:56,520 --> 00:34:59,479
Speaker 1: draft is a marketplace. Like when you buy a home,

692
00:34:59,719 --> 00:35:04,759
Speaker 1: what really matters square footage, how many rooms, how many bathrooms,

693
00:35:04,760 --> 00:35:06,719
Speaker 1: what the kitchen looks like, how big is the backyard,

694
00:35:06,719 --> 00:35:09,960
Speaker 1: how many car garage. All that stuff factors in to

695
00:35:10,080 --> 00:35:12,960
Speaker 1: the value of the home. No different in the draft

696
00:35:13,040 --> 00:35:18,040
Speaker 1: of like height, weight, production speed. Now I think the

697
00:35:18,160 --> 00:35:22,359
Speaker 1: teams have tried to figure out a way to get

698
00:35:22,400 --> 00:35:26,279
Speaker 1: the real speed, not just the combine speed, because ultimately,

699
00:35:26,440 --> 00:35:29,600
Speaker 1: Belichick said this forever, we don't pay guys to do

700
00:35:29,640 --> 00:35:34,000
Speaker 1: the combine, right. We don't pay guys to run around

701
00:35:34,080 --> 00:35:37,440
Speaker 1: in shorts and teacher pay guys to play football. It's

702
00:35:37,480 --> 00:35:41,000
Speaker 1: a hard balance. New listener, but already a big fan.

703
00:35:42,239 --> 00:35:45,400
Speaker 1: Welcome Mark. You spoke today on players needing to be

704
00:35:45,480 --> 00:35:48,480
Speaker 1: coached hard. Can you tie that all to the bleeding

705
00:35:48,480 --> 00:35:51,680
Speaker 1: hearts that said Russ deserve better than what he got

706
00:35:51,680 --> 00:35:55,600
Speaker 1: on the sideline from Peyton? There are smart There are

707
00:35:55,640 --> 00:36:00,520
Speaker 1: countless videos of Saban Smart Muschamp screaming at players, and

708
00:36:00,560 --> 00:36:03,800
Speaker 1: no one bats an eyelash Chris Jones and his coach

709
00:36:04,200 --> 00:36:06,759
Speaker 1: Brady and O'Brien. I'd love to hear your thoughts and

710
00:36:06,800 --> 00:36:11,640
Speaker 1: maybe your thoughts on about old school style coaching. Anyone

711
00:36:11,840 --> 00:36:16,040
Speaker 1: on television that took the position of like it was

712
00:36:16,160 --> 00:36:20,120
Speaker 1: unfair what Sean Payton did to Russell Wilson was simply

713
00:36:20,120 --> 00:36:23,520
Speaker 1: trying to like go viral on Twitter because everyone gets

714
00:36:23,560 --> 00:36:27,480
Speaker 1: screamed at in the NFL, especially quarterbacks. I mean, the

715
00:36:27,520 --> 00:36:31,120
Speaker 1: best dynasty of my life was most famously known for

716
00:36:31,560 --> 00:36:36,080
Speaker 1: Belichick being in Brady's ass all the time, screaming at

717
00:36:36,160 --> 00:36:40,320
Speaker 1: him in practice, going in on him in team meetings,

718
00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:44,320
Speaker 1: can't coach him hard. I thought it was so disingenuous.

719
00:36:44,840 --> 00:36:46,399
Speaker 1: I don't watch any of these shows, but I see

720
00:36:46,400 --> 00:36:49,440
Speaker 1: some clips on social media by any defensive player that

721
00:36:49,480 --> 00:36:52,439
Speaker 1: took that stance, who were constantly used to getting yelled at.

722
00:36:53,160 --> 00:36:55,520
Speaker 1: Russell gets yelled at. If I can't yell at Russell,

723
00:36:55,560 --> 00:36:59,360
Speaker 1: who am I allowed to yell at. It's very disingenuous,

724
00:37:00,040 --> 00:37:03,200
Speaker 1: which I think a lot of these people. I think

725
00:37:03,280 --> 00:37:04,959
Speaker 1: the problem for a lot of people in this quote

726
00:37:05,040 --> 00:37:09,560
Speaker 1: unquote business live on social media and they know what

727
00:37:09,640 --> 00:37:12,960
Speaker 1: will get them likes and supported because if you just

728
00:37:13,080 --> 00:37:16,160
Speaker 1: tweet it out or went viral by going this should

729
00:37:16,239 --> 00:37:19,399
Speaker 1: not be okay. This is crossing the line. How many

730
00:37:19,400 --> 00:37:23,479
Speaker 1: people on social media, which is a tiny little subscets society. Yeah, man,

731
00:37:23,600 --> 00:37:26,240
Speaker 1: go get him. You're so right, Sean Payton, so wrong.

732
00:37:27,400 --> 00:37:31,680
Speaker 1: Football people are constantly screaming. It's the culture of football,

733
00:37:32,440 --> 00:37:35,720
Speaker 1: especially when your quarterback I don't know, is playing like shit.

734
00:37:36,640 --> 00:37:39,680
Speaker 1: Sean Payton is also a yeller. So is it weird

735
00:37:39,719 --> 00:37:42,919
Speaker 1: at all? No? I think football people can be very disingenuous.

736
00:37:42,960 --> 00:37:45,080
Speaker 1: About that when they don't like people, and let's face it,

737
00:37:45,080 --> 00:37:47,160
Speaker 1: a lot of people don't like Sean Payton. He's gruff,

738
00:37:47,680 --> 00:37:52,400
Speaker 1: big ego, super rich, right, talks a lot of shit. Personally.

739
00:37:52,440 --> 00:37:56,279
Speaker 1: I like those types. They entertain me, but I also

740
00:37:56,320 --> 00:37:58,759
Speaker 1: think like there are a couple of lanes that when

741
00:37:58,800 --> 00:38:01,279
Speaker 1: something happens, like I know the way the media is

742
00:38:01,320 --> 00:38:03,840
Speaker 1: going to be. They're a predictable bunch. And this includes

743
00:38:03,840 --> 00:38:05,919
Speaker 1: a lot of former players now because you get caught

744
00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:09,240
Speaker 1: up in that little corporate mindset. Right, they hate big business,

745
00:38:09,239 --> 00:38:12,640
Speaker 1: they hate me, and coaches like they They's just it's

746
00:38:12,800 --> 00:38:15,000
Speaker 1: very very easy. You give me a story, I know

747
00:38:15,200 --> 00:38:17,759
Speaker 1: ninety five percent of the side they're gonna be on.

748
00:38:19,239 --> 00:38:22,000
Speaker 1: They all follow the pack, right. You would have been

749
00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:24,879
Speaker 1: an outlier if you said, who cares? But why can't

750
00:38:24,880 --> 00:38:27,520
Speaker 1: you yell at him? Everyone? When I saw a clip

751
00:38:27,520 --> 00:38:30,840
Speaker 1: of like ESPN, everyone was like, Sean Payton's a fucking asshole,

752
00:38:32,239 --> 00:38:35,960
Speaker 1: or he's just mad that Russell Wilson stinks. I know

753
00:38:36,040 --> 00:38:38,319
Speaker 1: he doesn't stink, but you know what I mean. Really

754
00:38:38,400 --> 00:38:41,080
Speaker 1: enjoy listening to your show. I'm a lifelong Bangles fan

755
00:38:41,120 --> 00:38:43,440
Speaker 1: and truly love what Joe Burrow is brought to the organization.

756
00:38:43,719 --> 00:38:45,879
Speaker 1: Hard to blame you from years of disappointment. I can't

757
00:38:45,880 --> 00:38:50,200
Speaker 1: help but worry about his injury history acl MCL calf strain,

758
00:38:50,400 --> 00:38:53,000
Speaker 1: now torn ligament and throwing wrisk. What are your thoughts

759
00:38:53,719 --> 00:38:56,680
Speaker 1: are guys able to stay healthier with age? I'm worry

760
00:38:56,719 --> 00:38:59,640
Speaker 1: about as an Andrew luck type early retirement for him,

761
00:39:00,120 --> 00:39:04,239
Speaker 1: I would say the Andrew Lucke situation. He's a very

762
00:39:04,320 --> 00:39:09,440
Speaker 1: unique cat, right, Stanford educated academic. I think a lot

763
00:39:09,440 --> 00:39:11,280
Speaker 1: of people think he could be like the next athletic

764
00:39:11,320 --> 00:39:15,080
Speaker 1: director or like president of Stanford. Joe Burrow's Andrew was

765
00:39:15,080 --> 00:39:18,160
Speaker 1: an excellent football player, and I think liked football. Joe

766
00:39:18,160 --> 00:39:21,160
Speaker 1: Burrow is a football guy, like to his core, Dad's

767
00:39:21,200 --> 00:39:24,200
Speaker 1: a coach. To me, he would only quote unquote early

768
00:39:24,280 --> 00:39:28,600
Speaker 1: retire like if he had to physically. Colin had a

769
00:39:28,600 --> 00:39:30,520
Speaker 1: good point the other day when he talked about like

770
00:39:30,760 --> 00:39:34,080
Speaker 1: this notion that just because Pennix has a lot of

771
00:39:34,120 --> 00:39:37,319
Speaker 1: injury history that you're not going to draft him, Like

772
00:39:37,360 --> 00:39:41,000
Speaker 1: life's full of risks. Success is full of risks. Most

773
00:39:41,000 --> 00:39:43,960
Speaker 1: people get successful by taking risks. I say it all

774
00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:46,080
Speaker 1: the time, like if you're just and I think this

775
00:39:46,120 --> 00:39:48,200
Speaker 1: is why a lot of people in the media kind

776
00:39:48,200 --> 00:39:50,759
Speaker 1: of hate the business world because most successful people push

777
00:39:50,760 --> 00:39:53,000
Speaker 1: the envelope. If you don't push the envelope, you're going

778
00:39:53,080 --> 00:39:54,839
Speaker 1: to get lapped. You're going to stay in the slow lane.

779
00:39:54,880 --> 00:39:56,920
Speaker 1: And the fast lane has some risk to it. You

780
00:39:56,960 --> 00:39:59,200
Speaker 1: might get into big car crash, but you also might

781
00:39:59,200 --> 00:40:02,040
Speaker 1: not and you could make millions. Right, And it's no

782
00:40:02,160 --> 00:40:06,200
Speaker 1: different than investing in players investing in businesses, like you

783
00:40:06,200 --> 00:40:09,480
Speaker 1: gotta take chances and listen part of the Joe Burrow package.

784
00:40:09,480 --> 00:40:12,719
Speaker 1: Now he gets injured a lot. He to me when

785
00:40:12,760 --> 00:40:14,960
Speaker 1: I watched him against the forty nine ers, I was like,

786
00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:17,440
Speaker 1: it doesn't get any better than this. When he's on,

787
00:40:17,640 --> 00:40:19,399
Speaker 1: he's as good as it gets. Like, that's as good

788
00:40:19,400 --> 00:40:23,399
Speaker 1: of a football player as you're gonna find. So it sucks,

789
00:40:23,960 --> 00:40:27,319
Speaker 1: but I would not worry about early retirement. I would

790
00:40:27,400 --> 00:40:31,680
Speaker 1: just more worry about we break down and what can

791
00:40:31,719 --> 00:40:34,839
Speaker 1: you really worry about? Though, Like it's like whenever I

792
00:40:34,880 --> 00:40:39,000
Speaker 1: see Mark Zuckerberg's building the bunker, like the world's gonna end. Well,

793
00:40:39,000 --> 00:40:41,279
Speaker 1: if it ends, we're all fucked. You know I am,

794
00:40:41,400 --> 00:40:44,520
Speaker 1: you are. We all got issues, right, I'm not building

795
00:40:44,520 --> 00:40:47,520
Speaker 1: a bunker, right, So I'm gonna worry about risk. If

796
00:40:47,560 --> 00:40:49,759
Speaker 1: you live on social media all day long, you're gonna

797
00:40:49,760 --> 00:40:51,480
Speaker 1: see a lot of negativity. You're gonna freak out if

798
00:40:51,480 --> 00:40:53,040
Speaker 1: you don't. You just go about your day like most

799
00:40:53,040 --> 00:40:55,160
Speaker 1: people are kind of happy, most people kind of enjoy life,

800
00:40:55,160 --> 00:40:58,200
Speaker 1: and you just go right. Yeah, I could get any

801
00:40:58,280 --> 00:41:01,880
Speaker 1: player in the league, could get a concussion tomorrow in practice,

802
00:41:01,960 --> 00:41:05,279
Speaker 1: let alone in a game. You don't know, So I

803
00:41:05,320 --> 00:41:09,720
Speaker 1: would say the knee injury, he got smashed in his knee, right,

804
00:41:09,800 --> 00:41:14,240
Speaker 1: The calf injury, who knows, Maybe he just wasn't drinking

805
00:41:14,320 --> 00:41:19,920
Speaker 1: enough water, right, the throwing injury. Once you aggregate him

806
00:41:19,960 --> 00:41:23,879
Speaker 1: all together, yeah, it's worrisome. But if you just spend

807
00:41:23,880 --> 00:41:25,879
Speaker 1: all your time worrying, there's no way to you know,

808
00:41:26,280 --> 00:41:28,560
Speaker 1: it's a shitty way to live. Gotta hope he's healthy

809
00:41:28,560 --> 00:41:30,200
Speaker 1: and rock and roll, because when he's healthy, you guys

810
00:41:30,239 --> 00:41:32,600
Speaker 1: are as good as a gets. So I guess my

811
00:41:32,719 --> 00:41:35,520
Speaker 1: ultimate take would be, I don't think there's anything you

812
00:41:35,560 --> 00:41:39,280
Speaker 1: can do. Mail back question probably a dumb one. Last podcast,

813
00:41:39,320 --> 00:41:43,440
Speaker 1: on several others, you mentioned that several something about defensive coordinators,

814
00:41:43,520 --> 00:41:46,560
Speaker 1: even the great ones, not understanding the offensive side of

815
00:41:46,560 --> 00:41:49,680
Speaker 1: the ball. How can a great defensive coordinator not understand

816
00:41:49,719 --> 00:41:51,839
Speaker 1: the offensive side of the ball if their entire job

817
00:41:51,920 --> 00:41:54,640
Speaker 1: is to stop it, couldn't the reverse engineer an offensive

818
00:41:54,680 --> 00:41:58,200
Speaker 1: game plan? Again, probably dumb question, I think when I

819
00:41:58,280 --> 00:42:01,960
Speaker 1: said that, Like, what I mean is not that you

820
00:42:02,040 --> 00:42:05,200
Speaker 1: take the top defensive coordinators they don't know how to stop,

821
00:42:05,320 --> 00:42:10,719
Speaker 1: Like they understand what defense stops concepts. Right. If you

822
00:42:11,200 --> 00:42:14,520
Speaker 1: are like Kyle Shanahan and run the outside zone and

823
00:42:14,600 --> 00:42:17,080
Speaker 1: run a lot of bubble screens or whatever your core

824
00:42:17,160 --> 00:42:20,560
Speaker 1: plays are, I can develop a game plan to stop them.

825
00:42:20,920 --> 00:42:26,560
Speaker 1: I understand route concepts, you know, blocking concepts, the way

826
00:42:26,600 --> 00:42:29,000
Speaker 1: that you move your protections, Like, I get all that

827
00:42:29,320 --> 00:42:32,520
Speaker 1: right and no different. As an offensive coordinator, I understand

828
00:42:32,960 --> 00:42:37,040
Speaker 1: the rules of cover one, cover two, cover three, zone

829
00:42:37,040 --> 00:42:40,000
Speaker 1: blitz is right, all that shit, I understand it, all

830
00:42:40,440 --> 00:42:44,840
Speaker 1: the differences. I can't a defensive coordinator or an offensive coordinator.

831
00:42:45,440 --> 00:42:49,400
Speaker 1: I couldn't have them just run the defense, right. They

832
00:42:49,440 --> 00:42:53,880
Speaker 1: wouldn't know teaching the techniques. They understand the big picture concepts.

833
00:42:54,120 --> 00:42:56,720
Speaker 1: Mike Tomlin could not be an offensive coordinator in the NFL,

834
00:42:57,640 --> 00:43:01,000
Speaker 1: just like Andy Reid couldn't be a defensive coordinator. Right.

835
00:43:01,200 --> 00:43:03,560
Speaker 1: That's Pete Carroll couldn't be an offensive coord it doesn't

836
00:43:03,600 --> 00:43:08,839
Speaker 1: mean they don't understand concepts and what defensive coordinators do. Also,

837
00:43:08,880 --> 00:43:12,040
Speaker 1: a big part of coaching on a weekly basis is

838
00:43:12,160 --> 00:43:15,279
Speaker 1: knowing your strengths and weaknesses. So like, if I'm an

839
00:43:15,280 --> 00:43:19,040
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator and I'm Andy Reid right, and I got

840
00:43:19,600 --> 00:43:22,680
Speaker 1: Kelsey and Pachaco, well, if I know certain things that

841
00:43:22,760 --> 00:43:26,239
Speaker 1: your defensive players are not good at, and we can

842
00:43:26,280 --> 00:43:28,120
Speaker 1: succeed that way. Like if you don't have a guy

843
00:43:28,160 --> 00:43:30,120
Speaker 1: that can cover the tight end, maybe I'll throw the

844
00:43:30,120 --> 00:43:34,239
Speaker 1: tight end twenty times that game, right or defensively, if

845
00:43:34,280 --> 00:43:38,640
Speaker 1: your right tackle is terrible in any passing situation, I

846
00:43:38,719 --> 00:43:41,680
Speaker 1: might overload a blitz to that side every single time

847
00:43:41,800 --> 00:43:44,560
Speaker 1: to try to take advantage of it. Right, Or you

848
00:43:44,600 --> 00:43:46,520
Speaker 1: have wide receivers that can't get off press. So a

849
00:43:46,600 --> 00:43:51,400
Speaker 1: huge part of coaching is not necessarily like footwork and leverage.

850
00:43:51,440 --> 00:43:55,600
Speaker 1: It's like game planning using my players against your players,

851
00:43:56,080 --> 00:43:59,880
Speaker 1: taking your strengths and trying to avoid them, and finding

852
00:43:59,880 --> 00:44:03,279
Speaker 1: you your weaknesses and trying to exploit them. Like it's

853
00:44:03,320 --> 00:44:06,160
Speaker 1: like you know again, why we you know, football in

854
00:44:06,160 --> 00:44:08,920
Speaker 1: the military have so much in common. It's trying to

855
00:44:08,920 --> 00:44:12,759
Speaker 1: take you down, right, So it's less about like I

856
00:44:12,800 --> 00:44:16,040
Speaker 1: do not think most defensive coordinators could just be an off.

857
00:44:16,160 --> 00:44:19,520
Speaker 1: We saw it with Matt Patricia. It's just it's just

858
00:44:19,560 --> 00:44:22,359
Speaker 1: not the way it works. It's probably not the best

859
00:44:22,400 --> 00:44:24,239
Speaker 1: way to explain it, because, like you said, it's not

860
00:44:24,320 --> 00:44:27,719
Speaker 1: like taking the marketing guy and having him be the

861
00:44:27,719 --> 00:44:30,279
Speaker 1: company's IT guy. Right, It's like, well he's gonna he

862
00:44:30,360 --> 00:44:34,960
Speaker 1: might know nothing about technology. Obviously, defensive coordinator understands all

863
00:44:35,000 --> 00:44:39,200
Speaker 1: the different routes or the different run schemes like gap runs,

864
00:44:39,320 --> 00:44:43,040
Speaker 1: zone runs, like he gets that, right, But it doesn't

865
00:44:43,080 --> 00:44:46,120
Speaker 1: mean that he could execute it, coach it. He could

866
00:44:46,120 --> 00:44:50,520
Speaker 1: like lead the group. But as again, part of it

867
00:44:50,560 --> 00:44:53,959
Speaker 1: too is experience. Maybe over time when you could argue

868
00:44:54,000 --> 00:44:56,560
Speaker 1: a good coach, right, like if I just took Andy

869
00:44:56,600 --> 00:44:59,160
Speaker 1: Reid or Kyle Shanahan and just made them their team's

870
00:44:59,160 --> 00:45:02,120
Speaker 1: defensive coordinator, maybe within like three or four years they'd

871
00:45:02,160 --> 00:45:06,400
Speaker 1: be good at it, right, But you just you spend

872
00:45:06,480 --> 00:45:11,600
Speaker 1: all your time, all your time on the offensive mindset.

873
00:45:11,640 --> 00:45:13,640
Speaker 1: So part of it is too, is the mindset. Right.

874
00:45:14,840 --> 00:45:16,839
Speaker 1: I haven't received a W I haven't been a W

875
00:45:16,960 --> 00:45:22,319
Speaker 1: two employee in almost a decade now. So my mindset

876
00:45:22,520 --> 00:45:25,319
Speaker 1: as a worker, right, everything I have, a piece of

877
00:45:25,520 --> 00:45:28,120
Speaker 1: I work is much different than it ever was when

878
00:45:28,160 --> 00:45:30,400
Speaker 1: I just work for the Eagles or work for the

879
00:45:30,480 --> 00:45:34,080
Speaker 1: radio station. So part of it is like your mind shifts.

880
00:45:34,760 --> 00:45:38,120
Speaker 1: And if I'm an offensive coordinator, like I don't think

881
00:45:38,160 --> 00:45:41,919
Speaker 1: as much about like how do I improve? Like I'm

882
00:45:41,960 --> 00:45:44,759
Speaker 1: just thinking about it completely different. Right, So when you

883
00:45:44,880 --> 00:45:48,640
Speaker 1: work right, when you run a small business, you think

884
00:45:48,680 --> 00:45:51,160
Speaker 1: a lot differently than if I just pay you two

885
00:45:51,239 --> 00:45:55,200
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty grand to be my accountant. Right, And

886
00:45:55,360 --> 00:45:59,239
Speaker 1: these aren't perfect examples, but ultimately my point is it's

887
00:45:59,360 --> 00:46:02,080
Speaker 1: just not the same. I guess it's just simply not

888
00:46:02,120 --> 00:46:05,600
Speaker 1: the same. Have you bet Washington yet you won big

889
00:46:05,640 --> 00:46:07,399
Speaker 1: on them last week? I know you've got them seven

890
00:46:07,400 --> 00:46:10,919
Speaker 1: to one to win seven thousand dollars? How the fuck

891
00:46:10,960 --> 00:46:13,360
Speaker 1: actually eight? Because I've already won the one thousand that

892
00:46:13,400 --> 00:46:16,520
Speaker 1: I put back back or put down back. How do

893
00:46:16,640 --> 00:46:18,759
Speaker 1: you not head over to DraftKings tomorrow and put at

894
00:46:18,840 --> 00:46:21,000
Speaker 1: least five k on the boys plus four and a

895
00:46:21,040 --> 00:46:25,719
Speaker 1: half the disrespect? Disrespect is outrageous. And don't give me

896
00:46:25,800 --> 00:46:31,240
Speaker 1: the home renovation story again. My home renovation story was simply,

897
00:46:31,480 --> 00:46:35,000
Speaker 1: I can't be reckless. I've actually been thinking about it.

898
00:46:35,000 --> 00:46:38,640
Speaker 1: Should just go and put what I just won, you know,

899
00:46:38,719 --> 00:46:41,000
Speaker 1: like ten k on Washington plus four and a half.

900
00:46:41,640 --> 00:46:45,080
Speaker 1: The problem is I'm already with house money. But the

901
00:46:45,120 --> 00:46:48,760
Speaker 1: reason I've believed in these guys is because I've watched

902
00:46:48,800 --> 00:46:51,839
Speaker 1: them for two years now and all they do is win. Now,

903
00:46:51,960 --> 00:46:54,880
Speaker 1: I'll be completely cannid on this. I love the matchup

904
00:46:54,920 --> 00:46:58,719
Speaker 1: with Texas. I thought the coaching mismatch was gigantic, and

905
00:46:58,760 --> 00:47:01,560
Speaker 1: it showed they were up momultiple scores in the second half. Like,

906
00:47:01,760 --> 00:47:05,040
Speaker 1: I'm sorry that wasn't a close game. Washington worked Sark.

907
00:47:05,200 --> 00:47:09,799
Speaker 1: I knew that was coming. I followed Sark's career closely Michigan, like,

908
00:47:10,960 --> 00:47:14,240
Speaker 1: it wouldn't surprise me if they win and win by seven.

909
00:47:14,840 --> 00:47:16,960
Speaker 1: I could see that. So I'm not as confident. Part

910
00:47:17,040 --> 00:47:21,040
Speaker 1: of gambling, whether you're gambling or whether you're investing in stocks,

911
00:47:21,640 --> 00:47:24,640
Speaker 1: especially once you start higher units. Right, if I'm gonna

912
00:47:24,680 --> 00:47:26,680
Speaker 1: put fifty thousand dollars into a stock, if I'm gonna

913
00:47:26,680 --> 00:47:28,440
Speaker 1: put ten thousand dollars down on a game, like, I

914
00:47:28,560 --> 00:47:31,800
Speaker 1: better feel pretty good about it. I don't feel great

915
00:47:31,840 --> 00:47:34,440
Speaker 1: about this. I don't feel bad, but I don't feel great.

916
00:47:34,920 --> 00:47:40,040
Speaker 1: My conviction for that Washington Texas game. I've had three

917
00:47:40,040 --> 00:47:42,560
Speaker 1: times in my life where I'm like, this can't lose.

918
00:47:43,400 --> 00:47:46,000
Speaker 1: And in college, I took all the money I had,

919
00:47:46,080 --> 00:47:48,680
Speaker 1: which was twelve hundred dollars. It might have been fifteen.

920
00:47:48,719 --> 00:47:50,560
Speaker 1: It was somewhere between twelve and fifte hundred, because I

921
00:47:50,600 --> 00:47:53,160
Speaker 1: remember I won about thirteen hundred dollars, so maybe maybe

922
00:47:53,200 --> 00:47:55,560
Speaker 1: it was like fifteen hundred dollars. And I bet on

923
00:47:55,600 --> 00:47:59,640
Speaker 1: the New England Patriots to not cover the spread against

924
00:47:59,640 --> 00:48:02,400
Speaker 1: the Giant in two thousand and seven because I remember

925
00:48:02,480 --> 00:48:06,719
Speaker 1: Week eighteen watching that Giants team almost beat the undefeated Patriots,

926
00:48:06,800 --> 00:48:08,680
Speaker 1: and obviously the Giants won. I just took him like

927
00:48:08,719 --> 00:48:10,680
Speaker 1: plus thirteen and a half or whatever the spread was.

928
00:48:11,880 --> 00:48:16,040
Speaker 1: The Bronco Carolina Panthers Super Bowl, I was living in

929
00:48:16,080 --> 00:48:18,680
Speaker 1: the Bay Area and I was around like the media stuff,

930
00:48:18,680 --> 00:48:22,840
Speaker 1: and I remember seeing the Panthers players all around screwing

931
00:48:22,880 --> 00:48:25,640
Speaker 1: around and the Broncos players serious as a heart attack.

932
00:48:25,960 --> 00:48:27,959
Speaker 1: I also was doing stuff for the Raiders at the time,

933
00:48:28,239 --> 00:48:30,839
Speaker 1: so I had seen that Broncos team live three years

934
00:48:30,840 --> 00:48:33,480
Speaker 1: in a row and being like, this defense is incredible.

935
00:48:34,080 --> 00:48:36,799
Speaker 1: I put like five grand down. I didn't have as

936
00:48:36,840 --> 00:48:41,719
Speaker 1: much money then this one I felt. I felt pretty good.

937
00:48:42,160 --> 00:48:45,160
Speaker 1: I felt pretty good. You could argued, I've said it before.

938
00:48:45,160 --> 00:48:46,719
Speaker 1: I whisked out a little bit. Now. Part of it

939
00:48:46,800 --> 00:48:49,000
Speaker 1: was it was holidays and I went to Wells Fargo.

940
00:48:49,440 --> 00:48:51,239
Speaker 1: The bank had been closed, so I had to, like

941
00:48:51,280 --> 00:48:53,399
Speaker 1: I only have I can only take down a couple grands,

942
00:48:53,400 --> 00:48:54,640
Speaker 1: so I had to do it like four days in

943
00:48:54,640 --> 00:48:58,080
Speaker 1: a row, on Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and then pay Monday.

944
00:48:58,520 --> 00:49:03,600
Speaker 1: So I had some financial restraints that way. But tell

945
00:49:03,600 --> 00:49:07,799
Speaker 1: you this about home renovations, shit is not cheap. I mean,

946
00:49:08,040 --> 00:49:12,120
Speaker 1: you can spend hundreds of thousands of dollars without even blinking.

947
00:49:12,680 --> 00:49:15,560
Speaker 1: Like I said, I do not have shutters, blinds or

948
00:49:15,560 --> 00:49:18,040
Speaker 1: anything throughout my house. Now part of it, you know,

949
00:49:18,080 --> 00:49:20,600
Speaker 1: I bought a fixer upper needed to be flipped around,

950
00:49:21,440 --> 00:49:23,120
Speaker 1: and the stuff that he had on the windows was

951
00:49:23,160 --> 00:49:26,520
Speaker 1: an embarrassment. But you look into that, you're like, gosh,

952
00:49:26,560 --> 00:49:29,719
Speaker 1: another thirty forty grand. So it's just I got a

953
00:49:29,920 --> 00:49:31,439
Speaker 1: you know, I got other people living in this house

954
00:49:31,480 --> 00:49:33,680
Speaker 1: beside myself. Back in the day, I would have lived

955
00:49:33,719 --> 00:49:35,359
Speaker 1: out window coverings for two years. I have, I've met

956
00:49:35,360 --> 00:49:40,600
Speaker 1: betting on sports, but I I want Washington to win.

957
00:49:40,760 --> 00:49:43,120
Speaker 1: I'm rooting for them. Obviously, I have eight grand on

958
00:49:43,160 --> 00:49:45,360
Speaker 1: the line, which is all profit at this point. But

959
00:49:45,440 --> 00:49:48,200
Speaker 1: I am not gonna pound the table and say that

960
00:49:48,239 --> 00:49:52,640
Speaker 1: they are a lock to cover. Should I just ride

961
00:49:52,680 --> 00:49:55,680
Speaker 1: them because they're the hot hand? That's I've made gambling mistakes.

962
00:49:56,200 --> 00:50:00,319
Speaker 1: The belief I had against Steve sark Kisian and Quinn

963
00:50:00,400 --> 00:50:05,000
Speaker 1: viewers with Dubor Grubb and Michael Pennix, it's as strong

964
00:50:05,040 --> 00:50:07,560
Speaker 1: as any I've ever had. I don't have that same

965
00:50:07,600 --> 00:50:09,880
Speaker 1: conviction here because I think Michigan's good. I mean, they

966
00:50:09,880 --> 00:50:12,480
Speaker 1: got a team, they have an NFL team. All these

967
00:50:12,480 --> 00:50:14,319
Speaker 1: guys are gonna play in the NFL. Now, some of

968
00:50:14,320 --> 00:50:16,920
Speaker 1: them might get cut, practice squad or whatever, but majority

969
00:50:16,960 --> 00:50:19,680
Speaker 1: of them are gonna be starters and role players in

970
00:50:19,719 --> 00:50:23,040
Speaker 1: the NFL. They're tough, they're physical. They're the type team

971
00:50:23,160 --> 00:50:25,920
Speaker 1: that I heard someone say this the other day. I

972
00:50:26,000 --> 00:50:30,000
Speaker 1: think Klatt said it to Coward. He's like Michigan. The

973
00:50:30,000 --> 00:50:32,560
Speaker 1: way they built this team was to stop Ohio State

974
00:50:32,600 --> 00:50:36,120
Speaker 1: from a couple of years ago. Who was who were they? C? J. Stroud,

975
00:50:36,160 --> 00:50:40,360
Speaker 1: Garrett Wilson Alive, Jackson Smith, Marvin Harrison. They were a

976
00:50:40,440 --> 00:50:44,880
Speaker 1: bombs away, elite NFL quarterback, elite NFL receivers, and they've

977
00:50:44,880 --> 00:50:50,000
Speaker 1: handled them now. The difference is, I think Dubor is

978
00:50:50,040 --> 00:50:52,600
Speaker 1: better than Ryan Day. Like, I'm not just saying this

979
00:50:52,680 --> 00:50:56,200
Speaker 1: to be funny. I what Harbass said about Ryan Day

980
00:50:56,200 --> 00:50:58,600
Speaker 1: being born on third base couldn't have been any more true.

981
00:50:58,960 --> 00:51:00,560
Speaker 1: I don't think Ryan Day he is that good of

982
00:51:00,600 --> 00:51:03,000
Speaker 1: a coach. Resume, well, the Big ten kind of fucking sucks,

983
00:51:03,000 --> 00:51:06,640
Speaker 1: and he's at Ohio State. I'm sorry most I don't

984
00:51:06,640 --> 00:51:10,360
Speaker 1: think he's some scrub coach. He's kind of like Sark, like, listen,

985
00:51:10,360 --> 00:51:12,719
Speaker 1: good play caller. Deep down? Is he a tough guy?

986
00:51:12,760 --> 00:51:14,799
Speaker 1: Deep down? What I want him as my You know?

987
00:51:14,960 --> 00:51:17,760
Speaker 1: Do I think he's a top ten coach in college football?

988
00:51:17,800 --> 00:51:20,040
Speaker 1: No chance? No chance on God's Green Earth? Do I

989
00:51:20,040 --> 00:51:22,960
Speaker 1: believe that? I think? Could you make the argument he's

990
00:51:23,000 --> 00:51:26,160
Speaker 1: better than Sark? Yeah? Maybe Who would I rather have

991
00:51:26,200 --> 00:51:28,480
Speaker 1: going forward? I might rather have Sark because at least

992
00:51:28,480 --> 00:51:32,480
Speaker 1: Sark learned from Saban. Ryan Day's a chip Kelly guy,

993
00:51:32,680 --> 00:51:35,560
Speaker 1: Like deep down, that's he's a chip Kelly guy. Sark's

994
00:51:35,560 --> 00:51:37,800
Speaker 1: a saving Pete Carroll guy. Now you can say he

995
00:51:37,880 --> 00:51:41,319
Speaker 1: worked for urban Meyer, Like, I don't know. Urban Meyer

996
00:51:41,400 --> 00:51:43,440
Speaker 1: is kind of an outlier, like urban Meyer's good for

997
00:51:43,520 --> 00:51:46,120
Speaker 1: urban Meyer, Like look at some of his guys, Herman.

998
00:51:46,360 --> 00:51:47,799
Speaker 1: I mean, I just I don't know. I don't know.

999
00:51:48,280 --> 00:51:50,120
Speaker 1: I'm not a big urban Meyer guy. Not because I

1000
00:51:50,120 --> 00:51:51,840
Speaker 1: don't think he's a good coach. He's obviously is. I

1001
00:51:51,920 --> 00:51:55,719
Speaker 1: just think he's a complete scumbag, fraud human being. But

1002
00:51:55,880 --> 00:51:59,680
Speaker 1: that's for another topic another day. So yeah, I'm just

1003
00:51:59,719 --> 00:52:02,000
Speaker 1: not as confident. I guess that's all ended on that

1004
00:52:02,120 --> 00:52:11,319
Speaker 1: I'm just not as compident. Audios the volume m hm
