Lakers rough up the Heat 9 00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:29,360 Speaker 1: down thirteen, eventually went up by thirty and they won 10 00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:32,239 Speaker 1: one sixteen to ninety eight. Bam out of bio and 11 00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:35,080 Speaker 1: gorn Dragit injured. I don't know if Goran dragics who 12 00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:38,520 Speaker 1: is going to be able to play? And Jimmy Butler 13 00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:40,960 Speaker 1: got banged up as well, but so did the Miami 14 00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:44,720 Speaker 1: Heat Broncos at the Jets tonight. Now, you can have 15 00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:47,960 Speaker 1: a matchup that's not good and still have a good game. 16 00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:51,440 Speaker 1: Like if this is thirty one twenty eight with two 17 00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:54,160 Speaker 1: minutes to go, it could be a good game. It's 18 00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:56,760 Speaker 1: not a good matchup. You may not tune in until 19 00:00:56,840 --> 00:01:00,520 Speaker 1: the final quarter. Maybe I'm probably gonna wait, I'm gonna 20 00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:04,560 Speaker 1: take the first quarter off, Fritzie. You will watch the 21 00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:07,679 Speaker 1: first quarter. Since youre broncos apologist, I plan to watch 22 00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:10,199 Speaker 1: the whole game if it's not totally a lop sidling 23 00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:13,000 Speaker 1: Jets favor. Thank you, Todd bronchos at the Jets coming 24 00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:18,000 Speaker 1: up tonight. Astro's raised. Yankees advanced five more games today 25 00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:20,880 Speaker 1: and tonight in Major League Baseball. Peter King a little 26 00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:24,240 Speaker 1: bit later on the breaking news is that we have 27 00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:28,360 Speaker 1: the Steelers in the Titans game rescheduled. It was going 28 00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:30,600 Speaker 1: to be on a week four, It was going to 29 00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:35,399 Speaker 1: be maybe Monday, maybe Tuesday. Rescheduled later this season. One 30 00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:40,760 Speaker 1: additional Titans player, one additional personnel member tested positive for 31 00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:44,280 Speaker 1: COVID nineteen today. The announcement of the new game date 32 00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:47,840 Speaker 1: will be made shortly. We checked in with Mike Florio 33 00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:50,240 Speaker 1: because we brought this up to him the other day, 34 00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:53,720 Speaker 1: just in case this scenario happened. He said, what could 35 00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:58,280 Speaker 1: happen is Week seven Steelers and Titans. The Steelers Ravens 36 00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:01,480 Speaker 1: would move to Week eight, The Ravens by week would 37 00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:04,280 Speaker 1: go to Week seven, and you would somehow be able 38 00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:08,120 Speaker 1: to get this game in. The NFL was prepared for 39 00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:10,280 Speaker 1: this to happen. I don't think they were prepared. I 40 00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:12,640 Speaker 1: checked with my source this morning. Have not heard back 41 00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:16,480 Speaker 1: that the NFL was prepared for midway or three quarters 42 00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:19,320 Speaker 1: of the way through, where you would have maybe some 43 00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:22,280 Speaker 1: players a little bit more lax with COVID nineteen and 44 00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:25,480 Speaker 1: some of the restrictions and safety protocols. But here we 45 00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:28,080 Speaker 1: are going into week four and I get the feeling 46 00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:30,919 Speaker 1: the NFL just said there's probably going to be more 47 00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:34,160 Speaker 1: positive tests in Tennessee. Let's just do the safe thing 48 00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:36,919 Speaker 1: and move this and give them a couple extra weeks here. 49 00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:40,400 Speaker 1: You know, as far as trying to reschedule this, I 50 00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:42,680 Speaker 1: guess the Vikings and Texans are still on. If we 51 00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:45,640 Speaker 1: heard anything to the contrary, I didn't hear any positives 52 00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:49,120 Speaker 1: with the Vikings. Peter King, Will Jonas coming up next hour, 53 00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:52,480 Speaker 1: but that gag. The Titans and the Steelers, a battle 54 00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:56,440 Speaker 1: of two undefeated has been rescheduled, and we'll keep an 55 00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:59,680 Speaker 1: eye out on when that will be. Probably though it'll 56 00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:03,360 Speaker 1: be next three or so weeks eight seven seven three 57 00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:05,520 Speaker 1: D P Show pull question, Nick Levin, what do we 58 00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:07,560 Speaker 1: have today? So we have two choices that were narrowed 59 00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:09,600 Speaker 1: down for it. First, should the Jets try to win 60 00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:12,160 Speaker 1: tonight or if you're a fan, Would you be happy 61 00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:14,000 Speaker 1: if they would because you've convinced me now that they 62 00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:17,040 Speaker 1: have to go in for Trevor Lawrence. Well, I don't 63 00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:20,160 Speaker 1: know what they're doing. And there's a lot of times 64 00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:22,600 Speaker 1: when you have confidence in like I have total confidence 65 00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:26,240 Speaker 1: in the Steelers doing the right thing in finding a 66 00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:29,120 Speaker 1: running back, finding a wide receiver. They found some really 67 00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:32,600 Speaker 1: good you know, Dupree and Water, really good defensive players. 68 00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:35,800 Speaker 1: You know they made the trade to get in Minka Fitzpatrick, 69 00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:38,680 Speaker 1: you know the Ravens. I always think that they make 70 00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:40,960 Speaker 1: the right move. They're very good in the draft. They're 71 00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:43,800 Speaker 1: just certain teams that you have trust in. And it 72 00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:45,560 Speaker 1: goes back to when people said, oh, the Brown's got 73 00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:47,680 Speaker 1: all these draft picks, and I said, well, who's making 74 00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:50,720 Speaker 1: the picks. You can have all the draft picks, but 75 00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:53,520 Speaker 1: if you're not good, then you end up with Brandon Whedon. 76 00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:58,560 Speaker 1: You don't Johnny Manziel like. You've got to have the 77 00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:00,800 Speaker 1: right people in there, and I don't know if the 78 00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:02,760 Speaker 1: Jets have the right people in there. You know it 79 00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:06,240 Speaker 1: is Adam Gays, a head coach in the NFL. I said, no, 80 00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:09,280 Speaker 1: I've said that before. I don't know Adam Gayze. He 81 00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:12,400 Speaker 1: doesn't strike me as a head coach. He's a great 82 00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:16,040 Speaker 1: coordinator by all accounts. You know, do you have the 83 00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:19,440 Speaker 1: right GM now with the Jets? Is ownership? Where are they? 84 00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:24,320 Speaker 1: You know, the Johnson family, you know that goes you 85 00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:25,919 Speaker 1: know to a lot of that where you look at 86 00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:29,800 Speaker 1: the Patriots with their ownership there and then you know 87 00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:32,920 Speaker 1: Bill Belichick having trust that they'll find the right people 88 00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:36,040 Speaker 1: to do the job. How many of those franchises are 89 00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:39,120 Speaker 1: there in all of sports where you go, I got 90 00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:42,200 Speaker 1: total confidence in them, and I don't have confidence in 91 00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:45,680 Speaker 1: the Jets. They've tried, They've tried a variety of ways. 92 00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:49,720 Speaker 1: They have no skill positions. You've got Sam Darnold, you're 93 00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:53,919 Speaker 1: not sure who he is. And am I trying to 94 00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:57,880 Speaker 1: be six and ten, seven and nine at best? Or 95 00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:01,400 Speaker 1: would I just say, look, you know that's just close 96 00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:04,360 Speaker 1: up shop here. We're not gonna win. Maybe we win 97 00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:07,479 Speaker 1: three games. Yeah. I'm looking back at the twenty eighteen 98 00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:09,960 Speaker 1: draft and the reviews are all very positive for the 99 00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:12,800 Speaker 1: Jets and the biggest compliment they're saying with the Jets 100 00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:15,719 Speaker 1: drafting Sam Darnold number three overall, it's the safest pick. 101 00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:18,039 Speaker 1: It's a smart pick. He's the least likely to be 102 00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:20,839 Speaker 1: a bust. They're like Baker Mayfield. As much as he's exciting, 103 00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:22,920 Speaker 1: he could be a bust. That's what the reviewers are saying. 104 00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:25,719 Speaker 1: He was the first pick. Josh Allen seventh out of Wyoming, 105 00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:29,080 Speaker 1: great player, big arm accurates issues he could be a bust, 106 00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:32,279 Speaker 1: and then you go down to Josh Rosen and tenth pick. 107 00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:35,200 Speaker 1: The Jets got total compliments after the draft by the 108 00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:38,520 Speaker 1: draft experts for doing the safe, smart, ten year pick. 109 00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:41,000 Speaker 1: But that's why I don't care what your grade is 110 00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:44,880 Speaker 1: after the draft. I need to know three years. In 111 00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:47,680 Speaker 1: three years in who do you want? Do you want 112 00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:52,719 Speaker 1: Sam Darnold or Josh Allen? My grade at the draft, 113 00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:56,080 Speaker 1: we got a great draft, you know, grade. It doesn't matter. 114 00:05:57,760 --> 00:05:59,440 Speaker 1: If I said to the Cleveland Browns right now, you 115 00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:03,040 Speaker 1: can have John Allen or Baker Mayfield. If I said 116 00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:05,240 Speaker 1: the Jets, you could have Josh Allen or Sam Darnold, 117 00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:08,919 Speaker 1: so hey, you got a great draft. Grade, it doesn't matter. 118 00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:12,040 Speaker 1: You got to wait a couple of years. You see 119 00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:16,360 Speaker 1: three years, certainly at that position. Yeah, mcclub, there's earlier 120 00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:18,720 Speaker 1: reviews on this kid. They got McKay beck. Then he's 121 00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:21,560 Speaker 1: supposed to be the breakout rookie supposed to be but 122 00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:24,000 Speaker 1: he's injured, right, he gets while he's kind of been 123 00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:26,000 Speaker 1: in and out, but they should. You know, he's getting 124 00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:29,080 Speaker 1: like these Twitter highs. He's a machine like he destroys people. 125 00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:31,960 Speaker 1: That that's good because this is the v's first draft. 126 00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:34,520 Speaker 1: By the way, he got hired after the two nineteen drafts, 127 00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:36,359 Speaker 1: So you don't really you have no idea what you 128 00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:39,520 Speaker 1: have in the GM. Right, it's not not yet, but 129 00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:41,640 Speaker 1: you know, if that's his first draft, then great. I mean, 130 00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:44,599 Speaker 1: that's why Ozzy Newsom was so valuable. You could say 131 00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:48,800 Speaker 1: he deserved most valuable votes. You know, when you think 132 00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:51,640 Speaker 1: about value to a team in the NFL, Ozzy Newsom 133 00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:55,600 Speaker 1: was incredible with the draft that he had. Yeah, there's 134 00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:58,120 Speaker 1: an article in the New York Daily News from twenty 135 00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:03,240 Speaker 1: seventeen that said the headline is Giants winnings suck for Sam. 136 00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:07,040 Speaker 1: Bid is a painful, all too familiar narrative for the Jets, 137 00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:10,840 Speaker 1: and the Jets made all the right moves to suck 138 00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:13,280 Speaker 1: for Sam, but it's the Giants who instead are sucking 139 00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:16,600 Speaker 1: for Sam. This has to make Gang Green Nation nauseous. 140 00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:20,200 Speaker 1: Both teams in New York were fighting over Sam Darnold Arnold, 141 00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:24,360 Speaker 1: I know, and both have quarterbacks that you're just not sure. 142 00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:28,760 Speaker 1: I don't know if Daniel Jones is a franchise quarterback. 143 00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:32,960 Speaker 1: He I am told he has played well this year, 144 00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:36,400 Speaker 1: believe it or not. The team just isn't any good. Yeah, Paul, 145 00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:41,120 Speaker 1: it's if you look at comparing stats, Sam Darnold has 146 00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:43,040 Speaker 1: a little a little more passing yards on a little 147 00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:45,679 Speaker 1: actually more touchdowns for his career so far than Josh Allen. 148 00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:49,160 Speaker 1: But he's got way more interception but that's because he 149 00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:53,480 Speaker 1: doesn't have any weapons, and you know he's forcing it. 150 00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:57,440 Speaker 1: You know, he's trying to make something happen. Sam Darnold, 151 00:07:57,440 --> 00:07:59,960 Speaker 1: We're gonna realize he's gonna have a Ryan Channehill situation 152 00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:02,840 Speaker 1: where the next team he goes to, we're going to 153 00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:06,520 Speaker 1: find out how good Sam is or how good he's not. 154 00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:09,000 Speaker 1: But I don't think he's going to be able to 155 00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:11,600 Speaker 1: prove that with the Jets anytime soon. But that is 156 00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:14,040 Speaker 1: coming up tonight. Lakers all over the heat. As I 157 00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:17,480 Speaker 1: mentioned the injuries there, if you just look at the stats, 158 00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:19,400 Speaker 1: and I said that the Lakers are going to shoot 159 00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:22,840 Speaker 1: forty percent from three point range. I'm going to probably 160 00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:25,240 Speaker 1: say how much did they win by? Because they're very 161 00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:28,800 Speaker 1: good at scoring in the paint Miami has. You know, 162 00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:32,080 Speaker 1: it's an uphill battle even with everybody healthy there, and 163 00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:34,480 Speaker 1: Anthony Davis is the best player on the floor, and 164 00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:38,200 Speaker 1: when that happens, Lebron will fill in the gray area there. 165 00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:41,640 Speaker 1: And when he does that, then nobody's going to beat him. 166 00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:44,760 Speaker 1: But as I pointed out in the first hour, there 167 00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:51,240 Speaker 1: was an article NBC Sports Dan Feldman. He argues, the 168 00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:54,040 Speaker 1: Lakers have had the easiest road to the finals in 169 00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:58,120 Speaker 1: NBA history. So they've only won one game, but it 170 00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:00,720 Speaker 1: looks like we're already ready for the core nation there. 171 00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:04,240 Speaker 1: And here's Lebron talking about what happened in that first 172 00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:07,680 Speaker 1: quarter where the Miami Heat jumped out by thirteen. I 173 00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:09,880 Speaker 1: don't think in the beginning that we were physical enough. 174 00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:12,559 Speaker 1: You have to get a feel for how hard Miami plays, 175 00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:15,560 Speaker 1: and I think, you know, they smacked us in the mouth, 176 00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:17,120 Speaker 1: and we got a sense of that, and so we 177 00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:18,920 Speaker 1: knew how hard we had to play if we wanted 178 00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:20,120 Speaker 1: to try to make it a game, you know, And 179 00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:22,160 Speaker 1: from that moment when it was twenty three ten. We 180 00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:25,960 Speaker 1: started to play to our capabilities. Here's Anthony Davis on 181 00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:29,120 Speaker 1: how he felt after last night's performance. The first time 182 00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:32,720 Speaker 1: I'm experiencing this, so I obviously you want to come 183 00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:34,000 Speaker 1: out and play well, and you want to come out 184 00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:37,360 Speaker 1: and win. Like I've always put pressure on myself and 185 00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:40,360 Speaker 1: I had the same thing game one of Western Conference 186 00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:42,640 Speaker 1: Finals as well. So when the ball get tipped up, 187 00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:44,960 Speaker 1: all that goes away in it's just basketball, but everything 188 00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:47,600 Speaker 1: leading up to it, you know, you're very excited general 189 00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:50,880 Speaker 1: and is going early, you know, because you're so excited 190 00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:52,200 Speaker 1: used to be here and get ready to go out 191 00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:54,080 Speaker 1: there and play. So you know it went away early. 192 00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:56,160 Speaker 1: But it was a great experience for him, a great game. 193 00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:59,559 Speaker 1: One job not done and we have three more. Yeah, 194 00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:02,160 Speaker 1: but it's long as he is well, it gives the 195 00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:06,760 Speaker 1: appearance he's your alpha. Then letting go feed him. And 196 00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:10,120 Speaker 1: you know that's where Lebron I think just that basketball 197 00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:13,880 Speaker 1: IQ is I want Anthony Davis in rhythm. I want 198 00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:17,679 Speaker 1: him getting some early buckets, easy buckets, you know, getting 199 00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:20,080 Speaker 1: him going, and then once he gets going, gets on 200 00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:22,720 Speaker 1: a roll. You can just see that confidence level. But 201 00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:26,079 Speaker 1: everybody played well last night. You know, playoff Rondo was great. 202 00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:29,240 Speaker 1: You know, Dwight Howard's in there, Crusoe's playing well, and 203 00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:31,760 Speaker 1: you have that. You know, Miami's not going to beat 204 00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:34,200 Speaker 1: that too. But they're not going to beat that team 205 00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:37,640 Speaker 1: even if they're healthy, because Lebron and Anthony Davis and 206 00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:40,040 Speaker 1: you shoot well from three point range, because that was 207 00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:42,680 Speaker 1: you know, that was the big question mark. Go back 208 00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:46,199 Speaker 1: to the bubble. You know, remember that all those columns 209 00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:48,719 Speaker 1: and all the talk about man, they can't shoot. You know, 210 00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:51,160 Speaker 1: they can't shoot threes. How are they gonna win? They 211 00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:55,240 Speaker 1: can't shoot well? They did shoot well last night. You 212 00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:57,040 Speaker 1: would have thought the Miami heat. If I said somebody 213 00:10:57,040 --> 00:10:59,640 Speaker 1: shot forty percent from three point range last night, you go, wow, 214 00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:04,160 Speaker 1: the heat. Nope, Lakers, Doc rivers in the seventy sixers, 215 00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:08,440 Speaker 1: there's I guess discussions there. My thought was when I 216 00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:11,000 Speaker 1: first heard about Doc maybe going to the seventy six ers, 217 00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:13,800 Speaker 1: first I thought, I was told, Hey, don't be surprised. 218 00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:16,360 Speaker 1: If he sits a year out, there'll be even more 219 00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:20,640 Speaker 1: attractive attractive to somebody. You know, if he sits out 220 00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:23,800 Speaker 1: a year and kind of surveys the situation of where 221 00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:26,040 Speaker 1: he wants to coach next but maybe he does some TV. 222 00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:28,520 Speaker 1: I look at the seventy six ers as a younger 223 00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:31,319 Speaker 1: version of the Clippers. They haven't accomplished anything, but they 224 00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:33,559 Speaker 1: certainly act like they have. And I don't want to 225 00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:36,320 Speaker 1: walk into a situation with Joel Mban and Ben Simmons 226 00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:39,079 Speaker 1: because I don't think they like each other and I 227 00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:43,319 Speaker 1: don't think they compliment each other. But Doc's going to 228 00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:47,240 Speaker 1: have his opportunity here, but that's that would not be 229 00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:49,400 Speaker 1: the team that I would want to coach because I 230 00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:51,320 Speaker 1: got some I got a lot of big contracts on 231 00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:54,120 Speaker 1: that roster there, and that's a tough town when you're 232 00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:58,160 Speaker 1: walking in and they expect something because they've been told 233 00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:01,600 Speaker 1: to expect something and nothing is really materialized. Yampo, if 234 00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:04,000 Speaker 1: you were Doc Rivers and the Pelicans called, You're probably 235 00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:07,720 Speaker 1: not going deep in the playoffs next year. You're a young, exciting, 236 00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:11,440 Speaker 1: very popular team because of Zion obviously, but do you 237 00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:13,480 Speaker 1: have the patience at his age, even though not that old, 238 00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:17,480 Speaker 1: for a long process. I don't know what his time 239 00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:19,880 Speaker 1: frame is. You know that I'm going to coach for 240 00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:23,760 Speaker 1: X number of years, but you know, I always thought 241 00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:26,800 Speaker 1: that Doc at some point would get back into coach 242 00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:30,520 Speaker 1: or back into TV work. If Van Gundy leaves, does 243 00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:32,600 Speaker 1: Doc you know, does he look and see you know, 244 00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:36,400 Speaker 1: does Van Gundy get a job here? I don't know 245 00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:39,120 Speaker 1: anybody else that you know, you're gonna go hey, you know, 246 00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:41,600 Speaker 1: does he want to be a studio analyst? I mean, 247 00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:43,440 Speaker 1: after what happened, you know, do you just want to 248 00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:46,200 Speaker 1: sit one out here? But I seventy six ers would 249 00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:48,080 Speaker 1: not be the place that I would want to go. Yeah, mcclevin, 250 00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:51,120 Speaker 1: what about like a new coach? Like everyone wants to 251 00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:53,559 Speaker 1: find a Nick Nurse or a is there a guy 252 00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:55,600 Speaker 1: like that for the sixers? Would you try a new 253 00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:59,880 Speaker 1: new blood instead of D'Antoni or Doc. Well, if you say, okay, 254 00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:01,960 Speaker 1: we want to bring in D'Antoni, now this is just 255 00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:04,920 Speaker 1: what's been published. We're gonna bring in Dantoni, but we 256 00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:07,760 Speaker 1: want to trade Embead and then we want to try 257 00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:15,319 Speaker 1: to get James Harden. Man, we're just complicating it. You're 258 00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:17,960 Speaker 1: gonna trade Embead and you're gonna try to bring in 259 00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:21,680 Speaker 1: James harden What kind of offense are you running here? 260 00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:26,960 Speaker 1: I got I still got Al Horford, like I this 261 00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:29,760 Speaker 1: isn't what D'Antoni does. I'd rather have him bead than 262 00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:32,280 Speaker 1: I would Ben Simmons if I got Dantoni in there, 263 00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:36,640 Speaker 1: because at least he's a matchup problem and he can shoot. 264 00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:39,559 Speaker 1: Ben Simmons is a matchup problem, but he has a 265 00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:43,760 Speaker 1: shooting problem as well, and I can't imagine in d'antoni's 266 00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:46,360 Speaker 1: offense that that would go over well. But if I'm 267 00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:48,240 Speaker 1: doc and I look at the seventy six ers, I go, 268 00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:52,160 Speaker 1: oh no, it just it feels like you got headaches. 269 00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:55,360 Speaker 1: It's just younger players with headaches, and then that wouldn't 270 00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:59,280 Speaker 1: be an ideal situation. Barry in Long Island, New York. Hey, Barry, 271 00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:02,040 Speaker 1: what's on your mind? To day? Hey, good morning, Dan 272 00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:09,120 Speaker 1: five nine? Thank you? Oh you my jets giving me 273 00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:13,480 Speaker 1: such specus. The back row can translate for you. I'm 274 00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:18,640 Speaker 1: one percent Jewish, Barry, so I can understand that much. 275 00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:27,960 Speaker 1: Nakas Oh, I'm felling very, very confused. While the game's on, 276 00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:32,000 Speaker 1: I root for them to win, but the other six 277 00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:35,640 Speaker 1: days and twenty hours during the week, I hope they lose. 278 00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:38,520 Speaker 1: I don't know what to do. Do you want them 279 00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:43,280 Speaker 1: to win? To night? Barry? Right at this moment, no, okay, 280 00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:47,920 Speaker 1: burning the game yeah, well, good luck tonight, because I 281 00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:51,160 Speaker 1: get the feeling even if they want to win, it's 282 00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:54,960 Speaker 1: one thing where you go, hey, let's tank. They can 283 00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:59,320 Speaker 1: try to win and it doesn't matter. But if I'm 284 00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:02,640 Speaker 1: a fan, I'm watching my team. When I'm watching the game, 285 00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:06,800 Speaker 1: I want them to win. But you know, when you 286 00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:08,960 Speaker 1: start to think about what is the smartest thing for 287 00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:12,560 Speaker 1: your team to do, and that is get a real 288 00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:16,160 Speaker 1: high draft pick here, get that rookie contract with a quarterback, 289 00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:18,760 Speaker 1: and then start to fill in the gray area there 290 00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:21,640 Speaker 1: your needs. But you've got to have a great front office. 291 00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:25,880 Speaker 1: I mean that's that's the most important part. You know, 292 00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:30,240 Speaker 1: your capologist, who's your draft You know, Jerry Jones has 293 00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:33,320 Speaker 1: tried to sabotage his own team because he thinks he's 294 00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:36,600 Speaker 1: the smartest guy in the room. He wanted Johnny Manzil, 295 00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:41,360 Speaker 1: Dak Prescott fell into his lap. He wanted Connor Cook 296 00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:47,480 Speaker 1: out of Michigan State. So you can sit there and go, boy, 297 00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:50,640 Speaker 1: you know the cowboy. They've made some good decisions, but 298 00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:56,440 Speaker 1: that was in spite of Jerry Jones. When you have 299 00:15:56,760 --> 00:16:00,080 Speaker 1: an owner who comes in in bigfoots and says, I 300 00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:04,720 Speaker 1: I want Johnny Manziel when you have an owner who 301 00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:08,880 Speaker 1: says we're drafting Dwayne Haskins. That's when things go wrong. 302 00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:16,800 Speaker 1: The great franchises allow people to do their jobs. It's 303 00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:20,480 Speaker 1: when the owners get in and think they know more. Man, 304 00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:22,560 Speaker 1: you're great. You knew a whole lot to make a 305 00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:24,520 Speaker 1: lot of money to be able to buy this team. 306 00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:28,560 Speaker 1: That doesn't mean you know football. I can make enough 307 00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:31,520 Speaker 1: money to buy a damn good car, my Mercedes. I 308 00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:36,120 Speaker 1: don't know how to repair it so I can buy 309 00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:38,960 Speaker 1: the car, or in this case, it was given to me. 310 00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:42,240 Speaker 1: But if I would buy the car I got, I'm 311 00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:46,040 Speaker 1: restoring a Porsche. No, I'm paying somebody to restore a Porsche. 312 00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:48,160 Speaker 1: You read the checks. Yes, I don't know how to 313 00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:50,760 Speaker 1: I don't know how to fix anything. I don't know 314 00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:56,560 Speaker 1: how to paint it. I can't do bodywork. Todd wears clothes, 315 00:16:56,640 --> 00:16:59,760 Speaker 1: but he can't do laundry. That's a good point, Toddy, 316 00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:03,200 Speaker 1: but he can't cook. I don't know why I turned 317 00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:07,080 Speaker 1: on you. There's no reason for that. Yeah, old habits 318 00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:11,040 Speaker 1: die hard. It had been a couple of minutes now 319 00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:13,080 Speaker 1: I had made fun of you. I don't think today 320 00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:16,920 Speaker 1: the least about nine ten minutes. No, now you're you're, you're, 321 00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:20,520 Speaker 1: you're playing nice today. You were unscathed first hour, but 322 00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:22,760 Speaker 1: the time had come, so I got that moment. I 323 00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:24,800 Speaker 1: gotta play catch up.

You at and T, Verizon, Team Mobile, 338 00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:15,280 Speaker 1: They charge you obscene monthly fees for data that you'll 339 00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:18,000 Speaker 1: never need, perk shall never use.

Steve Palazzolo joining us on the program 385 00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:38,960 Speaker 1: from Pro Football Focus. How did I do? Steve? It 386 00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:40,560 Speaker 1: was perfect. I feel like you can have me on 387 00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:43,919 Speaker 1: a little bit more now, Thank you. Stayed up all 388 00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:48,760 Speaker 1: night practicing in the mirror, going Palazolo, Palazolo, Steve Palazzolo 389 00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:52,119 Speaker 1: and I did a Pro Football Focus senior analyst here. 390 00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:56,640 Speaker 1: All right, let's start with Sam Darnold going into tonight's game. 391 00:20:57,160 --> 00:20:59,880 Speaker 1: What is the data that Pro Football Focus has looked 392 00:20:59,880 --> 00:21:03,560 Speaker 1: at with Sam Donald this year? Yeah, he hasn't been great. 393 00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:05,280 Speaker 1: He's got a great in the fifties, which is well 394 00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:07,159 Speaker 1: below average. It's it's not good at all. But I 395 00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:10,200 Speaker 1: think coming into the year, I remember saying, look, if 396 00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:12,200 Speaker 1: Sam Donald could play a lot better, and you're not 397 00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:13,600 Speaker 1: even gonna see it. You're not gonna see it on 398 00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:14,800 Speaker 1: the stat sheet, You're not going to see it in 399 00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:17,440 Speaker 1: the win lost column. And then you see last week 400 00:21:17,520 --> 00:21:20,760 Speaker 1: even this not good wide receiver corps is completely depleted. 401 00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:23,320 Speaker 1: The offensive line is not great other than the rookie 402 00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:27,080 Speaker 1: McKay Beckton, So the situation is just so bad around 403 00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:30,200 Speaker 1: Sam Donald. It's not completely fair, but at the same time, 404 00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:33,639 Speaker 1: still way too many bad decisions in there in Sad 405 00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:35,959 Speaker 1: Donald's game. And I don't think we've really seen the 406 00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:37,840 Speaker 1: progression that you want to see here in year three. 407 00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:40,240 Speaker 1: But it's tough, and I don't know how Pro Football 408 00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:43,080 Speaker 1: Focus does this. But you look at like Daniel Jones, 409 00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:46,320 Speaker 1: I don't know if Daniel Jones is good or just 410 00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:48,920 Speaker 1: he's on a bad team, or is it a combination 411 00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:51,639 Speaker 1: of both. If you look at Daniel Jones and Sam Donald, 412 00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:54,120 Speaker 1: how much is them and how much it is they're 413 00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:56,600 Speaker 1: on a bad team. Yeah, I mean Jones is great. 414 00:21:56,760 --> 00:21:59,879 Speaker 1: Is what Jets fans would be hoping for from Don 415 00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:02,240 Speaker 1: Jones is up in the seventies. He's actually grading really 416 00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:06,080 Speaker 1: well despite everything around him, despite facing more pressure dropbacks 417 00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:09,119 Speaker 1: than any other quarterback in a terrible offensive line, and 418 00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:11,480 Speaker 1: again not the greatest group of playmakers. So yeah, there 419 00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:12,760 Speaker 1: is a way, and the way we do it is 420 00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:15,520 Speaker 1: to try to isolate the quarterbacks play as much as possible. 421 00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:18,040 Speaker 1: So you make a great throw, whether it's caught or dropped, 422 00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:20,080 Speaker 1: we're still giving you credit for that throw. You still 423 00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:21,720 Speaker 1: have to make good decisions. You still have to throw 424 00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:24,000 Speaker 1: the ball accurately, even if you don't have that many 425 00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:26,760 Speaker 1: guys that are open. So there are ways to kind 426 00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:29,280 Speaker 1: of parks out the quarterback play from the rest of 427 00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:31,639 Speaker 1: the supporting cast. But as we've seen, would say, like 428 00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:34,520 Speaker 1: a Josh Allen in Buffalo, when you have everything around 429 00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:37,639 Speaker 1: you getting better every single year, it certainly helps your development. 430 00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:39,920 Speaker 1: That's why I think Allen's really peeking here in year three. 431 00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:43,080 Speaker 1: Best graded quarterback by Pro Football Focus this year is 432 00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:46,000 Speaker 1: who It's Aaron Rodgers. He's just been in a whole 433 00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:48,159 Speaker 1: different world. Him and at Russell Wilson are really in 434 00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:50,920 Speaker 1: a different world that we went back to two thousand 435 00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:53,080 Speaker 1: and six and said, Okay, through three weeks, one of 436 00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:55,680 Speaker 1: the highest grades we've ever seen. Rogers is number three, 437 00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:58,240 Speaker 1: Wilson's number five. So it's two of the better performances 438 00:22:58,280 --> 00:23:01,040 Speaker 1: we've seen through three weeks. Going their neck and neck. 439 00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:03,600 Speaker 1: Wilson's got better stats. I think he's had a little 440 00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:07,440 Speaker 1: bit more favorable screens for touchdowns and wide open drag 441 00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:09,439 Speaker 1: routes for touchdowns, so his stats are a little bit 442 00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:11,719 Speaker 1: better than Rodgers. But Rodgers throw for throw, he's been 443 00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:13,960 Speaker 1: the best quarterback in the league. But there was so 444 00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:17,280 Speaker 1: much angst concern about Aaron Rodgers coming into this season. 445 00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:20,119 Speaker 1: And you didn't draft a wide receiver, you drafted another 446 00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:23,640 Speaker 1: running back, you drafted a full back. Here does Rogers 447 00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:26,760 Speaker 1: buy in with the game plan with Matt Lafleur, And 448 00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:30,080 Speaker 1: now what's happened the last part he's bought in. I 449 00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:32,360 Speaker 1: mean the biggest thing with Aaron Rodgers right the last 450 00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:34,840 Speaker 1: few years. If you put up his highlight reel against 451 00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:38,600 Speaker 1: anyone else's, it's right there. His big time throws special. 452 00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:40,520 Speaker 1: Does he turn the ball over? No, He's got these. 453 00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:43,119 Speaker 1: The extreme ends of the spectrum have been awesome for 454 00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:46,280 Speaker 1: Rodgers his entire career. It's that middle bit where in 455 00:23:46,280 --> 00:23:49,959 Speaker 1: twenty eleven and fourteen and stretches of sixteen he was awesome. 456 00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:51,600 Speaker 1: But in recent years he lost it a little bit. 457 00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:53,560 Speaker 1: He didn't trust the system. He wasn't getting the ball 458 00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:55,760 Speaker 1: out on time, he was trying to play hero ball 459 00:23:55,880 --> 00:23:58,639 Speaker 1: outside of structure too much. This year he's getting rid 460 00:23:58,640 --> 00:24:00,679 Speaker 1: of the ball faster two point five seconds in the 461 00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:03,280 Speaker 1: pocket when he's usually up around two point nine or three. 462 00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:06,520 Speaker 1: That is a massive difference. That is trust. That is 463 00:24:06,520 --> 00:24:08,679 Speaker 1: the scheme, and it's not with the best group of 464 00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:11,200 Speaker 1: receivers either. It's Davante Adams was hurt the other day. 465 00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:13,720 Speaker 1: The remarkers is still making these guys look good. He 466 00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:16,520 Speaker 1: is playing at a special level because he's trusting Matt 467 00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:19,680 Speaker 1: Lafloor of the system and hitting open receivers. But why 468 00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:23,040 Speaker 1: is it that Tom Brady didn't have weapons, but Cam 469 00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:26,320 Speaker 1: Newton has weapons in New England. I don't know that 470 00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:28,840 Speaker 1: Cam really does. I mean, I think in the Seattle 471 00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:31,720 Speaker 1: game we saw that was a really nice job of 472 00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:34,520 Speaker 1: them opening up the passing attack. They used Julian Edelman 473 00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:36,680 Speaker 1: a little bit more down the field, exploited a mismatch 474 00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:39,920 Speaker 1: with Jamal Adams. I still think it's to be seen. 475 00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:42,200 Speaker 1: You know, Brady was really good through three weeks last 476 00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:44,480 Speaker 1: year as well. I think the passing game in New 477 00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:46,679 Speaker 1: England still is not one of the better ones in 478 00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:48,840 Speaker 1: the league. It is Edelman and a whole bunch of 479 00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:52,040 Speaker 1: question marks with nickil Harry and Demere Bird. So I 480 00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:53,960 Speaker 1: think there's still a little bit more to see about 481 00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:56,119 Speaker 1: what New England can do through the passing attack. I 482 00:24:56,119 --> 00:24:57,760 Speaker 1: think they've done a nice job with the run game 483 00:24:57,760 --> 00:24:59,840 Speaker 1: and building around Cam but I still don't think they 484 00:24:59,840 --> 00:25:02,879 Speaker 1: have great weapons or an explosive passing attack that is 485 00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:06,439 Speaker 1: feared around the NFL. How have you graded Dak Prescott 486 00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:09,840 Speaker 1: really high? He's seventh, I believe in our overall grades. 487 00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:12,840 Speaker 1: He's great and extremely well. He's you know, he reminds 488 00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:14,879 Speaker 1: me of Patrick Mahomes right now, the way Mahomes was 489 00:25:15,119 --> 00:25:18,000 Speaker 1: at Texas Tech, where there's just no margin for error. 490 00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:20,320 Speaker 1: You know, you've got thirty nine points against the Falcons, 491 00:25:20,359 --> 00:25:23,080 Speaker 1: you know you're in a shootout against the Seattle Seahawks. 492 00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:25,840 Speaker 1: So Dak is playing well. Throw for throw, he's excellent, 493 00:25:25,840 --> 00:25:28,639 Speaker 1: but there's an interception here, a fumble there that just 494 00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:30,520 Speaker 1: there's just no margin for every there because they're like 495 00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:32,800 Speaker 1: it's like they're playing big twelve games. But Dak's doing 496 00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:35,119 Speaker 1: a really good job of throwing the ball accurately, beyond 497 00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:37,440 Speaker 1: the sticks, throwing the ball down the field. And yeah, 498 00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:40,000 Speaker 1: top ten quarterbacks so far. Does it make sense to 499 00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:43,560 Speaker 1: give that running back that second contract that we saw 500 00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:47,560 Speaker 1: with Alvin Kamara. You know, Christian McCaffrey got at Dalvin 501 00:25:47,640 --> 00:25:49,639 Speaker 1: Cook got it. Because I've been a big proponent of 502 00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:52,720 Speaker 1: I'm gonna ride you for five years and I'm gonna 503 00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:55,160 Speaker 1: say goodbye to you. Where does Pro Football Focus stand 504 00:25:55,160 --> 00:25:58,520 Speaker 1: on that? Yeah, we completely agree. We would never give 505 00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:01,440 Speaker 1: a second contract. You always kind of get fooled. Who's 506 00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:04,199 Speaker 1: the special one? Is it Todd Gurley? Is he special? Well? No, 507 00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:06,760 Speaker 1: And part of the reason, you know, McCaffrey could have 508 00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:08,560 Speaker 1: bucked the trend because we're all about the pass game 509 00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:11,240 Speaker 1: at PFF because that's what's more more efficient. So even 510 00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:13,720 Speaker 1: when you have a pass catching running back, it's still 511 00:26:13,760 --> 00:26:15,800 Speaker 1: not great. I think the Panther's offense could be a 512 00:26:15,840 --> 00:26:18,600 Speaker 1: little bit better without McCaffrey because they don't feel the 513 00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:20,720 Speaker 1: need to give him touches and they have guys like 514 00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:24,280 Speaker 1: Robbie Anderson and DJ More. If they get more attent 515 00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:26,719 Speaker 1: targets down the field, that offense will be better. So 516 00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:29,640 Speaker 1: I love Christian McCaffrey. I love Dalvin Cook. I think 517 00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:32,359 Speaker 1: he's fantastic, But I would never get into that second 518 00:26:32,359 --> 00:26:36,320 Speaker 1: contract situation, one because of the injury situation, and then 519 00:26:36,359 --> 00:26:40,159 Speaker 1: two because the production just never matches the dollar amount 520 00:26:40,160 --> 00:26:42,199 Speaker 1: for a running back. I was shocked of all the 521 00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:45,359 Speaker 1: games over the weekend, even Detroit winning in Arizona. I 522 00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:49,159 Speaker 1: was not shocked by that, but Carolina beating the Chargers. 523 00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:52,640 Speaker 1: What the hell is going on? I know that everybody's 524 00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:56,840 Speaker 1: got injuries, but justin Herbert is played well. I think, 525 00:26:57,680 --> 00:27:00,840 Speaker 1: how does Pro Football Focus see the Chargers. Yeah, they're 526 00:27:00,840 --> 00:27:03,160 Speaker 1: They're a little confusing because a week before it was like, man, 527 00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:05,760 Speaker 1: they're they're given the chiefs of all that they can 528 00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:09,720 Speaker 1: handle into overtime, especially defensively. The fact that Mahomes, you know, 529 00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:12,160 Speaker 1: only had that one really big play the previous week. 530 00:27:12,560 --> 00:27:14,760 Speaker 1: I think the Chargers offensive line, they've been a disaster 531 00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:17,600 Speaker 1: for years, and we saw a Panther's team that only 532 00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:20,479 Speaker 1: had nine pressures through two games, and they're getting pressure 533 00:27:20,520 --> 00:27:22,959 Speaker 1: Brian Burns with a strip sack and they're actually beating 534 00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:25,879 Speaker 1: this Chargers offensive line. I think that is one of 535 00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:28,399 Speaker 1: those things that will hurt Herbert's development just a little bit. 536 00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:30,560 Speaker 1: He's got some good dudes to throw too, obviously, but 537 00:27:30,800 --> 00:27:32,400 Speaker 1: the old line has to get better, and I think 538 00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:35,040 Speaker 1: that's what really did them in last week, even against 539 00:27:35,080 --> 00:27:38,720 Speaker 1: a bad Panthers pass rush.

You know, I think it's It's 545 00:27:56,520 --> 00:27:59,119 Speaker 1: not a great game on paper. I mean, the Donald 546 00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:01,680 Speaker 1: should be the he should have the advantage from a 547 00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:05,080 Speaker 1: quarterback situation. Brett Rippon did some nice things in his 548 00:28:05,119 --> 00:28:08,200 Speaker 1: little relief outing against the Tampa Bay Bocks last week, 549 00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:11,159 Speaker 1: but both teams are in a rough spot. My biggest 550 00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:13,320 Speaker 1: concern with the Jets is they're just bad at the 551 00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:16,440 Speaker 1: most important spots right so, pass, game wide, receiver, cornerback 552 00:28:16,920 --> 00:28:18,639 Speaker 1: was that was their issue coming into the year. It's 553 00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:22,040 Speaker 1: their issue right now. Denver can at least play reasonably 554 00:28:22,080 --> 00:28:25,200 Speaker 1: on the back end. So I think they've they've got 555 00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:27,840 Speaker 1: a shot, you know, in this one. When you look 556 00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:31,880 Speaker 1: at Drew Brees's performance so far, is there anything different 557 00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:34,800 Speaker 1: through the first three weeks that we should have seen 558 00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:38,200 Speaker 1: coming late last year. Yeah? So, I mean, if you 559 00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:40,720 Speaker 1: look at Brees's last six games, just by PFF grades, 560 00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:43,560 Speaker 1: that's almost almost all of them are between fifty eight 561 00:28:43,880 --> 00:28:46,720 Speaker 1: and sixty two, All six of them right in that range. 562 00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:48,960 Speaker 1: And that's well below average. It's not good and He's 563 00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:51,000 Speaker 1: had some games in there that were pretty good statistically, 564 00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:53,640 Speaker 1: but the difference in those games is the downfield passing attack. 565 00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:56,840 Speaker 1: Throwing an interception against Minnesota down the field in the 566 00:28:56,840 --> 00:28:59,719 Speaker 1: playoffs last year that carried over into this year. He 567 00:28:59,840 --> 00:29:02,640 Speaker 1: is just not making those throws down the field. He's 568 00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:04,560 Speaker 1: not attempting him. He only has three attempts to beyond 569 00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:07,160 Speaker 1: twenty yards one for three on those passes and one 570 00:29:07,240 --> 00:29:09,800 Speaker 1: was a bust at coverage the one completion. So it's 571 00:29:09,800 --> 00:29:12,520 Speaker 1: a completely different Saints offense. He's always thrown short, He's 572 00:29:12,520 --> 00:29:15,480 Speaker 1: always let his playmakers do work. But if you leave 573 00:29:15,480 --> 00:29:17,000 Speaker 1: the steam open, he's going to zip it in there. 574 00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:18,520 Speaker 1: If you leave a deep ball open, he's going to 575 00:29:18,600 --> 00:29:20,720 Speaker 1: hit it. That is the difference with the Saints offense. 576 00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:22,880 Speaker 1: So they're just it's a really tight margin of error. 577 00:29:22,920 --> 00:29:25,600 Speaker 1: You obviously can't rely on Alvin Camara to take a 578 00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:28,000 Speaker 1: you know, a negative five yard pass and turn it 579 00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:30,160 Speaker 1: into a fifty two yard touchdown every single week like 580 00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:33,400 Speaker 1: he's been. So that's the issue right now. Breeze not 581 00:29:33,480 --> 00:29:35,520 Speaker 1: being aggressive down the field, and when he is, the 582 00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:38,200 Speaker 1: arm is just not there. And the accuracy that we've 583 00:29:38,240 --> 00:29:41,520 Speaker 1: normally been accustomed to. I saw an article in Pro 584 00:29:41,600 --> 00:29:45,080 Speaker 1: Football Focus about the possibility of the Falcons trading Matt Ryan. 585 00:29:46,560 --> 00:29:48,640 Speaker 1: You know, in theory, it sounds interesting that now you're 586 00:29:48,640 --> 00:29:51,040 Speaker 1: going to tank for Trevor, But who would take Matt 587 00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:54,640 Speaker 1: Ryan right now? And what are you getting from Matt Ryan? 588 00:29:54,840 --> 00:29:56,760 Speaker 1: Or you just trying to get him off the books 589 00:29:57,160 --> 00:30:00,920 Speaker 1: and then you just continue to tank for Trevor Lauren, Yeah, 590 00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:03,440 Speaker 1: it's a It's a fascinating thing that I don't think 591 00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:05,200 Speaker 1: will actually happen. I remember, you know, we were talking 592 00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:07,440 Speaker 1: about it internally. You know what if let's just throw 593 00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:10,400 Speaker 1: this out there and see it's it's obviously uncommon. You know, 594 00:30:10,520 --> 00:30:12,600 Speaker 1: before Nick Foles took over last week, you say, would 595 00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:14,200 Speaker 1: the Bears be one of those teams? They're sitting there 596 00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:16,200 Speaker 1: at three and zero, and you know, Matt Ryan has 597 00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:18,600 Speaker 1: always been a top tier quarterback, top ten type of 598 00:30:18,680 --> 00:30:21,520 Speaker 1: quarterback his entire career. I think in Atlanta there's just 599 00:30:21,560 --> 00:30:25,280 Speaker 1: something off. They should have this baseline of success just 600 00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:27,720 Speaker 1: having Matt Ryan and Julio Jones and Calvin Ridley like 601 00:30:27,760 --> 00:30:30,040 Speaker 1: they should be winning. You should be able to slop 602 00:30:30,040 --> 00:30:32,080 Speaker 1: them in for seven or eight games just to start 603 00:30:32,120 --> 00:30:33,720 Speaker 1: the season. And then okay, let's see how well the 604 00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:36,360 Speaker 1: defense plays. But something's off down there, and it would 605 00:30:36,360 --> 00:30:39,800 Speaker 1: be fascinating to see do you just completely blow it up? 606 00:30:39,840 --> 00:30:41,600 Speaker 1: And we're at this point in the NFL, though, it's 607 00:30:41,640 --> 00:30:43,760 Speaker 1: it's tough to find a spot for Matt Ryan because 608 00:30:43,800 --> 00:30:46,920 Speaker 1: I think there's about twenty eight twenty nine thirty legit 609 00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:49,280 Speaker 1: starting quarterbacks around the NFL. I don't think we've seen 610 00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:51,600 Speaker 1: that in many, many years. I don't think there's a 611 00:30:51,600 --> 00:30:55,640 Speaker 1: ton of massive quarterback holes around the NFL, So it'd 612 00:30:55,640 --> 00:30:57,080 Speaker 1: be tough to find an actual spot for him. But 613 00:30:57,080 --> 00:30:59,600 Speaker 1: from an Atlanta standpoint, would be interesting to see if 614 00:30:59,600 --> 00:31:02,560 Speaker 1: they would pletely start from scratch. Has Pro Football Focus 615 00:31:02,680 --> 00:31:06,280 Speaker 1: examined Trevor Lawrence. Yeah, I mean we grade every single 616 00:31:06,280 --> 00:31:08,320 Speaker 1: play from him in college, and he was the highest 617 00:31:08,320 --> 00:31:10,800 Speaker 1: graded true freshman that we've ever had. Last year as 618 00:31:10,840 --> 00:31:12,800 Speaker 1: a sophomore, he started out a little bit slow, but 619 00:31:13,040 --> 00:31:15,000 Speaker 1: you know, if you do like a little cutoff of 620 00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:18,280 Speaker 1: week three or four, another great outstanding play. And we've 621 00:31:18,320 --> 00:31:20,200 Speaker 1: got every single one of his plays graded this year 622 00:31:20,640 --> 00:31:23,120 Speaker 1: unbelievable accuracy. It's all levels of the field. I know 623 00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:26,560 Speaker 1: it's against the Citadel and against lesser teams. But he's 624 00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:28,760 Speaker 1: looking really good, and I think you know he's got 625 00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:31,720 Speaker 1: everything you're looking for as far as a downfield playmaker, 626 00:31:32,320 --> 00:31:35,480 Speaker 1: short area accuracy, decision making. As a true freshman, he 627 00:31:35,520 --> 00:31:38,200 Speaker 1: only had three turnover worthy plays. We've never seen anything 628 00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:40,600 Speaker 1: like that. That's usual. True freshman is supposed to make mistakes. 629 00:31:40,600 --> 00:31:43,480 Speaker 1: He didn't. Plus he's got a little bit of athleticism right, 630 00:31:43,520 --> 00:31:45,160 Speaker 1: so he could pick up yards on the ground. So 631 00:31:45,400 --> 00:31:46,959 Speaker 1: I think when people hype him up as the next 632 00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:48,880 Speaker 1: day Andrew Luck type of prospect, I think it's all 633 00:31:48,880 --> 00:31:52,240 Speaker 1: pretty legit. Who's the quarterback we should be talking about 634 00:31:52,280 --> 00:31:56,640 Speaker 1: in college? Well, look I've got I've got some Gator 635 00:31:56,680 --> 00:31:59,280 Speaker 1: ties through my years. I've loved Danny Warfel growing up, 636 00:31:59,360 --> 00:32:03,200 Speaker 1: and grade wasn't great on Kyle Trask coming in. He 637 00:32:03,280 --> 00:32:06,000 Speaker 1: had some blind spots for linebackers last year, but if 638 00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:08,680 Speaker 1: you take away those bad plays, you could see the talent. 639 00:32:08,800 --> 00:32:12,160 Speaker 1: And Trask did not play in high school. He is 640 00:32:12,200 --> 00:32:16,240 Speaker 1: a late bloomer with NFL type ability, accuracy, and in velocity, 641 00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:17,960 Speaker 1: and we saw that against Old Miss last week. So 642 00:32:18,040 --> 00:32:20,040 Speaker 1: Kyle Trask, I think he's not gonna put up Joe 643 00:32:20,040 --> 00:32:22,479 Speaker 1: Barrow numbers this year despite his start. But he'll be 644 00:32:22,520 --> 00:32:24,160 Speaker 1: that guy that kind of breaks out. The NFL is 645 00:32:24,160 --> 00:32:26,080 Speaker 1: gonna love him. He just has to lose that blind 646 00:32:26,080 --> 00:32:28,400 Speaker 1: spot for linebackers that he still kind of has. But 647 00:32:28,440 --> 00:32:30,680 Speaker 1: I love Kyle Trask in his development. Yeah, but if 648 00:32:30,720 --> 00:32:32,920 Speaker 1: we take out the bad plays from Mitchell Trubisky and 649 00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:35,360 Speaker 1: he still has a job, he still has more bad 650 00:32:35,360 --> 00:32:39,160 Speaker 1: plays than everyone else. It was a handful for Trask 651 00:32:39,280 --> 00:32:42,360 Speaker 1: last year. Yeah, but it is Truebisky worse than Carson 652 00:32:42,400 --> 00:32:45,640 Speaker 1: Wentz this year. Not this year. Carson Wentz is at 653 00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:49,880 Speaker 1: a special level of bad right now. It's just not good. 654 00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:52,280 Speaker 1: I mean, he looks like a pitcher that has the yips. 655 00:32:52,880 --> 00:32:57,000 Speaker 1: Just there's something mental going on there. So twenty fifteen, 656 00:32:57,280 --> 00:32:59,400 Speaker 1: if you remember Andrew Luck, the start to his season, 657 00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:02,280 Speaker 1: it looked nothing like the first three years of Andrew 658 00:33:02,320 --> 00:33:05,600 Speaker 1: Luck's career, nothing like it at all. He was interceptions, fumbles, 659 00:33:05,840 --> 00:33:08,200 Speaker 1: accuracy was all over the place. It made zero sense, 660 00:33:08,480 --> 00:33:10,320 Speaker 1: and people thought he was playing with injury. And then 661 00:33:10,320 --> 00:33:12,400 Speaker 1: he eventually got hurt and missed a bunch of that season. 662 00:33:12,680 --> 00:33:14,840 Speaker 1: That's what Wentz feels like. You know, this is nothing 663 00:33:14,920 --> 00:33:17,040 Speaker 1: like the rest of his career. He is our lowest 664 00:33:17,040 --> 00:33:20,160 Speaker 1: grade at quarterback, He's lowest and accuracy. He's got twelve 665 00:33:20,160 --> 00:33:22,520 Speaker 1: turnover worthy plays. No one else has more than six. Like, 666 00:33:22,640 --> 00:33:25,440 Speaker 1: everything is at the worst spot that it could possibly 667 00:33:25,480 --> 00:33:27,600 Speaker 1: be in. So I'm expecting it to get better. And 668 00:33:27,680 --> 00:33:29,920 Speaker 1: it doesn't make sense because it's not in line with 669 00:33:29,960 --> 00:33:31,960 Speaker 1: the rest of Wentz's career. So I guess I'm chalking 670 00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:34,560 Speaker 1: it up to this is just a massive slump that 671 00:33:34,640 --> 00:33:36,720 Speaker 1: he has the talent to come out of. Great to 672 00:33:36,760 --> 00:33:39,240 Speaker 1: talk to you again, Steve, and now that I've worked 673 00:33:39,240 --> 00:33:41,720 Speaker 1: on pronouncing your name, will try to have you back 674 00:33:41,720 --> 00:33:44,600 Speaker 1: on again. Thank you perfect, I'll see you next week. Okay, 675 00:33:44,600 --> 00:33:48,280 Speaker 1: I'll see you tomorrow. Steve Balozzolo Pro Football Focus Senior 676 00:33:48,320 --> 00:33:51,720 Speaker 1: Analyst used the promo code Radio twenty five for twenty 677 00:33:51,720 --> 00:33:55,480 Speaker 1: five percent off a Pro Football Focused subscription at PFM 678 00:33:55,480 --> 00:33:58,560 Speaker 1: dot com. Right before we were having him on Pauli's 679 00:33:58,640 --> 00:34:02,120 Speaker 1: questioning Fritzie on how to pronounced Steve Pamozzolo his name, 680 00:34:02,520 --> 00:34:06,240 Speaker 1: and I said, is it pal and then Fritzie said, 681 00:34:06,240 --> 00:34:09,640 Speaker 1: it's Paul, It's pa l I said, is it paula Zolo? 682 00:34:10,160 --> 00:34:14,279 Speaker 1: Is it Paulozzolo? And then you said it was I 683 00:34:14,320 --> 00:34:17,560 Speaker 1: think I was pronouncing it Paulazolo, but it's actually Palazo. Yeah, 684 00:34:17,600 --> 00:34:20,200 Speaker 1: and I even said pal yet I was still pronouncing 685 00:34:20,200 --> 00:34:22,800 Speaker 1: it differently than the words. Well, it's like sal Palantonio, 686 00:34:24,280 --> 00:34:28,920 Speaker 1: not Polantonio. Yes, Paul, if it's two, be Paul, Paul, 687 00:34:29,200 --> 00:34:31,640 Speaker 1: what if you want palazzolo? That would that be more fun? 688 00:34:33,120 --> 00:34:36,520 Speaker 1: It would be, but it would be incorrect. Yes, I 689 00:34:36,600 --> 00:34:39,759 Speaker 1: worked too hard last night on Palmozzolo. I just walking 690 00:34:39,800 --> 00:34:44,200 Speaker 1: around the house going palozzolozzolo. Yes, I thought that those 691 00:34:44,280 --> 00:34:48,680 Speaker 1: z's were two, is that it was palatutuo, But that 692 00:34:48,719 --> 00:34:54,200 Speaker 1: was incorrect. I was way off. PAULI doesn't like Alvin Kamara, 693 00:34:54,400 --> 00:34:57,800 Speaker 1: apparently because he had he did some research here, because 694 00:34:57,800 --> 00:35:02,040 Speaker 1: he said, well, I mean Glovin loves Alvin Kamara. And 695 00:35:02,080 --> 00:35:06,600 Speaker 1: then Paulie said, Alvin Kamara doesn't have yards per reception 696 00:35:07,480 --> 00:35:09,640 Speaker 1: like the things we argue about here. And I said, 697 00:35:09,640 --> 00:35:14,160 Speaker 1: all right, minimum fifty catches. Who had the fewest yards 698 00:35:14,200 --> 00:35:18,880 Speaker 1: per reception for a running back last year? And it 699 00:35:18,960 --> 00:35:21,960 Speaker 1: would be Tret Cohen who did, not Alvin Kamara. Al 700 00:35:22,040 --> 00:35:25,319 Speaker 1: Kamaro was second worst. You said he had the worst. Yes, 701 00:35:25,560 --> 00:35:27,480 Speaker 1: I was off by one player off the end the 702 00:35:27,640 --> 00:35:30,680 Speaker 1: entire league. Isn't that amazing though? The Kamara that this 703 00:35:30,760 --> 00:35:33,799 Speaker 1: is running backs right or just a player players? Usually 704 00:35:33,840 --> 00:35:37,319 Speaker 1: running backs are low but Kmaro was hurt last year. 705 00:35:37,360 --> 00:35:40,680 Speaker 1: Everyone knows that. Who has hiring yards per catch? Alvin 706 00:35:40,719 --> 00:35:44,360 Speaker 1: Kamara Christian McCaffrey. That's a good question. It's Kamara career 707 00:35:44,400 --> 00:35:47,319 Speaker 1: wise are the same? Well, Kamara is eight point seven, 708 00:35:47,560 --> 00:35:50,920 Speaker 1: McCaffrey's eight point four. So I just slicked up Kamara. 709 00:35:51,040 --> 00:35:53,000 Speaker 1: You know, he's like fifth in the league of receiving 710 00:35:53,080 --> 00:35:56,040 Speaker 1: yards right now. He's huge receiver. Yeah, but I don't 711 00:35:56,080 --> 00:35:58,400 Speaker 1: want to pay that to my running back. I'm just 712 00:35:58,480 --> 00:36:01,439 Speaker 1: kind of like a receiver though. McCaffrey. Those guys run 713 00:36:01,520 --> 00:36:04,120 Speaker 1: like the little Julian Edelman into the flat thing. I 714 00:36:04,160 --> 00:36:07,440 Speaker 1: don't know, Well, it becomes that's your running attack. Yeah, 715 00:36:07,440 --> 00:36:09,560 Speaker 1: where you just throw these little dump pounds, is there? 716 00:36:09,880 --> 00:36:11,600 Speaker 1: I still I don't want to spend that kind of money, 717 00:36:11,719 --> 00:36:13,920 Speaker 1: Like ask the Jets, do you think you're gonna get 718 00:36:13,920 --> 00:36:18,080 Speaker 1: your money's worth on a Livon Bell? Oh? That was 719 00:36:18,200 --> 00:36:20,000 Speaker 1: one are the worst time. You know, the Rams with 720 00:36:20,120 --> 00:36:22,080 Speaker 1: Todd Gurley and now the Falcons have him. You know, 721 00:36:22,239 --> 00:36:26,200 Speaker 1: it's you. He got injured. But at that position, I'll 722 00:36:26,280 --> 00:36:28,239 Speaker 1: give you a five year deal if I take you 723 00:36:28,239 --> 00:36:30,799 Speaker 1: in the first round. But I don't want to do that. 724 00:36:30,960 --> 00:36:32,239 Speaker 1: I don't want you. I don't want to take a 725 00:36:32,440 --> 00:36:35,640 Speaker 1: you in the first round. Yeah, mclovan to have a 726 00:36:35,640 --> 00:36:37,440 Speaker 1: guy like Kamara, do you need like a bruiser like 727 00:36:37,440 --> 00:36:40,640 Speaker 1: a mark Ingram Right, Yes, that was the great change up. Yes, 728 00:36:40,880 --> 00:36:44,319 Speaker 1: I love that backfield there, love it. And now he's 729 00:36:44,320 --> 00:36:47,080 Speaker 1: with Baltimore. McCaffrey got hurt, right, we haven't talked about it. Yea. 730 00:36:47,200 --> 00:36:49,279 Speaker 1: His career is not covering anywhere, by the way, but 731 00:36:49,400 --> 00:36:52,680 Speaker 1: he's gonna be susceptible to getting hurt. He's the only 732 00:36:52,719 --> 00:36:56,040 Speaker 1: guy on offense and they go to him so much, 733 00:36:56,719 --> 00:36:59,520 Speaker 1: except for that play against the Raiders where they give 734 00:36:59,560 --> 00:37:03,759 Speaker 1: it to the hold back. Oh, we'll take a break here, 735 00:37:03,760 --> 00:37:06,000 Speaker 1: phone calls coming up, Peter King once again. We'll join 736 00:37:06,080 --> 00:37:07,920 Speaker 1: us coming up next hour. I guess he's gonna yell 737 00:37:07,960 --> 00:37:10,480 Speaker 1: at me, according to Fritzie. We'll take a break back 738 00:37:10,520 --> 00:37:13,280 Speaker 1: after this.

How doers get more done? PAULI is 759 00:38:25,320 --> 00:38:29,160 Speaker 1: a punting idea. Now he's brought it up a couple 760 00:38:29,160 --> 00:38:32,680 Speaker 1: of times. I've avoided it because it's kind of like 761 00:38:32,719 --> 00:38:35,480 Speaker 1: Fritzie with the onion big. It's kind of feeling that way. 762 00:38:36,440 --> 00:38:38,239 Speaker 1: You know, well, PAULI will go, hey, I got that 763 00:38:38,280 --> 00:38:41,080 Speaker 1: punting idea. It's like when Fritzie kept saying, hey, don't 764 00:38:41,080 --> 00:38:43,360 Speaker 1: forget about my bagels story. As Paul's teased it now 765 00:38:43,400 --> 00:38:46,880 Speaker 1: for two weeks. Yes he has four days, but this 766 00:38:47,080 --> 00:38:49,399 Speaker 1: is going to go very poorly. It feels like it's 767 00:38:49,440 --> 00:38:52,239 Speaker 1: been two weeks. But I just was walking back into 768 00:38:52,280 --> 00:38:54,080 Speaker 1: my side of the man came Paul goes, hey, I've 769 00:38:54,080 --> 00:38:56,680 Speaker 1: still got that punting idea. I go, all right, I 770 00:38:56,760 --> 00:38:58,440 Speaker 1: want to pulozz a load to break it down from me. 771 00:38:58,480 --> 00:39:02,200 Speaker 1: All right, So what is your punting idea? Pollie? Okay, 772 00:39:02,239 --> 00:39:05,480 Speaker 1: what if you remove the punter position from your team. 773 00:39:05,560 --> 00:39:07,919 Speaker 1: You don't have a punter on your roster. You get 774 00:39:08,000 --> 00:39:10,239 Speaker 1: one of your backup running backs and you train him 775 00:39:10,280 --> 00:39:12,879 Speaker 1: to become a punter. And if you could punt the ball, 776 00:39:12,920 --> 00:39:15,000 Speaker 1: you know, thirty eight thirty six yards somewhere around there, 777 00:39:15,040 --> 00:39:18,160 Speaker 1: that's enough. But the threat of him a running back, 778 00:39:18,200 --> 00:39:21,879 Speaker 1: let's say, like Ronald Jones of the Tampa Buccaneers. He's quick, 779 00:39:21,920 --> 00:39:24,439 Speaker 1: he can move handle the ball. If he was your punter, 780 00:39:24,520 --> 00:39:26,560 Speaker 1: a good running back, a decent backup running back, and 781 00:39:26,640 --> 00:39:29,880 Speaker 1: he focused on that. The threat of the fake is huge. 782 00:39:30,080 --> 00:39:32,120 Speaker 1: So now they can't drop all their people back to 783 00:39:32,200 --> 00:39:34,640 Speaker 1: return the punt. They have to rush or at least 784 00:39:34,680 --> 00:39:37,360 Speaker 1: you spy you. And because of that, they're not returning 785 00:39:37,360 --> 00:39:39,520 Speaker 1: any punts. They're going to be all fair catches because 786 00:39:39,520 --> 00:39:41,120 Speaker 1: your guys are gonna run down. And then when you 787 00:39:41,120 --> 00:39:43,800 Speaker 1: fake it, you have a real threat there as a fake. Also, 788 00:39:43,840 --> 00:39:47,600 Speaker 1: you open up another roster spot on your team. Good 789 00:39:47,880 --> 00:39:51,359 Speaker 1: good idea, bad idea, terrible idea. Well I always wondered this. 790 00:39:51,880 --> 00:39:56,160 Speaker 1: Let's say you're inside the opposition's forty five yard line 791 00:39:56,280 --> 00:39:57,919 Speaker 1: and you're not gonna go for it, and you're gonna punt. 792 00:39:58,360 --> 00:40:01,680 Speaker 1: Why is it you have your guy who usually kicks 793 00:40:01,680 --> 00:40:04,600 Speaker 1: it into the end zone. I need a backup punter 794 00:40:04,880 --> 00:40:07,680 Speaker 1: who doesn't kick it as far. Like he's not as 795 00:40:07,719 --> 00:40:10,560 Speaker 1: good as my regular punter, and he might only kick 796 00:40:10,600 --> 00:40:14,560 Speaker 1: it thirty eight yards like Ronald Jones of the Tampa 797 00:40:14,600 --> 00:40:19,399 Speaker 1: Bay Buccaneer. Yes, yes see, but is that about the 798 00:40:19,440 --> 00:40:22,960 Speaker 1: distance or well that might accuracy. Mine is because it 799 00:40:23,040 --> 00:40:25,040 Speaker 1: drives me crazy when you know teams like on the 800 00:40:25,120 --> 00:40:29,400 Speaker 1: forty six yard line of the opposition. They go fourth 801 00:40:29,400 --> 00:40:31,600 Speaker 1: and three, We're gonna punt, and then they kick it 802 00:40:31,640 --> 00:40:35,000 Speaker 1: into the end zone, and so what is the net 803 00:40:35,040 --> 00:40:37,960 Speaker 1: gain there or loss there by a team? Whereas if 804 00:40:37,960 --> 00:40:40,440 Speaker 1: you had a punter who goes, hey, I can like 805 00:40:40,560 --> 00:40:42,279 Speaker 1: right now, if you said, hey, once you go out 806 00:40:42,280 --> 00:40:44,120 Speaker 1: there and punt and I can only punt it thirty 807 00:40:44,120 --> 00:40:47,120 Speaker 1: five yards, then I'm your guy. But it would be 808 00:40:47,160 --> 00:40:50,560 Speaker 1: a lot of fun to wonder if Christian McCaffrey's gonna 809 00:40:50,560 --> 00:40:54,480 Speaker 1: punt it or run it. Yeah, but remember Tom Toopa. 810 00:40:54,680 --> 00:40:57,640 Speaker 1: Tom Toopa was a quarterback in college and also a punter. 811 00:40:58,680 --> 00:41:01,640 Speaker 1: Danny White, it was the quarterback for the Cowboys was 812 00:41:01,680 --> 00:41:04,400 Speaker 1: also their punter. Now that's even better idea. Maybe you 813 00:41:04,440 --> 00:41:07,360 Speaker 1: get a option quarterback from college. Imagine what he dancler 814 00:41:07,400 --> 00:41:10,759 Speaker 1: from Clemson back there and he could punt, pass, or kick. Yes, 815 00:41:11,480 --> 00:41:14,719 Speaker 1: Or is the fact that Danny White already did this 816 00:41:14,800 --> 00:41:17,960 Speaker 1: and nobody did anything with it kind to show that 817 00:41:18,000 --> 00:41:20,319 Speaker 1: it's not a great idea. It opens up a third 818 00:41:20,640 --> 00:41:26,640 Speaker 1: roster spot for another quarterback. Yes, anybody, Yes, here's the problem. 819 00:41:26,800 --> 00:41:29,520 Speaker 1: You they know if you have the running back back there, 820 00:41:29,560 --> 00:41:32,120 Speaker 1: you can't you lose. You lose a fake punt because 821 00:41:32,160 --> 00:41:34,640 Speaker 1: you can't get that surprise element, you know, so you 822 00:41:34,640 --> 00:41:36,360 Speaker 1: can't get the punt field on it. So you're losing 823 00:41:36,400 --> 00:41:38,319 Speaker 1: the option of a fake punt. But what if you 824 00:41:38,520 --> 00:41:41,120 Speaker 1: think there's a possibility of a fake punt every time 825 00:41:41,160 --> 00:41:42,880 Speaker 1: the running back is there? Yeah, I thought there was 826 00:41:42,960 --> 00:41:45,319 Speaker 1: always the option of the fake punt with the running back. 827 00:41:45,400 --> 00:41:47,480 Speaker 1: The key to the Johnny Hecker fake punt is the 828 00:41:47,560 --> 00:41:49,839 Speaker 1: defense isn't on the field, the special teams on the field, 829 00:41:49,840 --> 00:41:51,840 Speaker 1: so you could take advantage of their you know, you 830 00:41:51,920 --> 00:41:54,440 Speaker 1: sneak it in there. So you're gonna lose that sneak effect, 831 00:41:54,800 --> 00:41:56,359 Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Like Johnny Hecker will drop 832 00:41:56,400 --> 00:41:58,200 Speaker 1: back and no one's ready for it. Now they're all 833 00:41:58,200 --> 00:41:59,920 Speaker 1: ready for it, but you got what he dancler back there? 834 00:42:00,080 --> 00:42:03,160 Speaker 1: Yees see. Much like Todd, you know, and how proud 835 00:42:03,200 --> 00:42:06,279 Speaker 1: we are of him for overcoming such adversity. I'm proud 836 00:42:06,280 --> 00:42:08,880 Speaker 1: of Paul for for trying to think of new ideas 837 00:42:08,880 --> 00:42:11,080 Speaker 1: and fun make the game fun, keep the game fun. 838 00:42:11,560 --> 00:42:13,480 Speaker 1: I don't know if it was worthy of a four 839 00:42:13,600 --> 00:42:16,799 Speaker 1: day build up. If you would have done this on Monday, 840 00:42:16,840 --> 00:42:19,239 Speaker 1: we'd all move out of our lives. Yes, Todd, I 841 00:42:19,280 --> 00:42:21,200 Speaker 1: think it's a really good idea. I was watching circus 842 00:42:21,280 --> 00:42:23,839 Speaker 1: Georgia Tech. There's a guy who punts for Georgia Tech, 843 00:42:23,880 --> 00:42:27,640 Speaker 1: number twenty Presale Harvey. He's six feet tall, borderline, two 844 00:42:27,719 --> 00:42:30,799 Speaker 1: hundred and sixty pounds. He looks like a linebacker about 845 00:42:30,800 --> 00:42:33,279 Speaker 1: a defensive tackle, and he was punting pretty well and 846 00:42:33,320 --> 00:42:35,400 Speaker 1: you could do some fun stuff with him. This is 847 00:42:35,440 --> 00:42:39,799 Speaker 1: a guy who his name is Presley Harvin at Georgia Tech. 848 00:42:39,880 --> 00:42:43,760 Speaker 1: He's six foot two fifty five. He wears number twenty seven, 849 00:42:44,440 --> 00:42:46,920 Speaker 1: and when he's back there, it looks like the biggest 850 00:42:46,960 --> 00:42:50,120 Speaker 1: kid in the punk passing kick competition. This guy's Andy 851 00:42:50,160 --> 00:42:52,839 Speaker 1: Reid and the punt passing kick competition run you over. 852 00:42:52,920 --> 00:42:56,920 Speaker 1: Imagine that if he fakes the punt, that just runs forward. Yeah, 853 00:42:56,960 --> 00:43:00,719 Speaker 1: thank you, Tod. Imagine that it's kind of John. Yeah, 854 00:43:01,120 --> 00:43:06,239 Speaker 1: everybody's gonna be talking about this later on. Pat McAfee's 855 00:43:06,239 --> 00:43:09,680 Speaker 1: gonna be talking about this later on. Greeney's going to 856 00:43:09,760 --> 00:43:12,360 Speaker 1: talk about this tomorrow. Everybody's going to talk about this. 857 00:43:12,840 --> 00:43:15,160 Speaker 1: You know, I was wondering, what have you put a 858 00:43:15,320 --> 00:43:19,319 Speaker 1: running back back? There's your punter. Peter King is gonna 859 00:43:19,360 --> 00:43:21,400 Speaker 1: yell at me coming up? Also we get his thoughts 860 00:43:21,480 --> 00:43:25,280 Speaker 1: on rescheduling Titans Steelers. That's next.
