1
00:00:01,240 --> 00:00:15,120
Speaker 1: The volume. Welcome to the Best of the Colin Coward Podcast.

2
00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:17,960
Speaker 1: Some great guests this week. We're giving you all the highlights.

3
00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:22,120
Speaker 1: But first my takes of the week. That was I

4
00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:26,480
Speaker 1: think USC should go get an NFL coach. I think name,

5
00:00:26,520 --> 00:00:29,720
Speaker 1: image likeness is going to be a little bit of

6
00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:33,240
Speaker 1: an avalanche for the next decade. And these NFL coaches

7
00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:36,760
Speaker 1: are not control freaks. They've dealt with players getting paid.

8
00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:40,280
Speaker 1: They're very comfortable with it. They've got owners in the NFL,

9
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:43,240
Speaker 1: they're not in the I have to control everything business,

10
00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:48,440
Speaker 1: I said Doug Peterson to me, Matt Naggie, if if

11
00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:51,800
Speaker 1: the Bears fired him, Anthony Lynn, all one playoff games

12
00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:54,760
Speaker 1: in the NFL all have a presence. If you go

13
00:00:54,880 --> 00:01:00,400
Speaker 1: look at USC, Miami and UCLA, three urban universities. If

14
00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:02,640
Speaker 1: you look at the coaches that have had the most success,

15
00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:07,440
Speaker 1: Pete Carroll, John Robinson, USC pro coaches, Chip Kelly pro

16
00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:10,760
Speaker 1: coach is getting it rolling, Dick Vermeil, UCLA pro coach.

17
00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:15,440
Speaker 1: How about Miami last time they won? Butch Davis, Dennis Ericson,

18
00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:19,640
Speaker 1: Jimmy Johnson. When you get to these big distracted cities,

19
00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:22,720
Speaker 1: you need a big presence to cut through I always

20
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:26,920
Speaker 1: said this about Georgetown basketball when USC was at its best.

21
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:30,240
Speaker 1: I remember Kirk Kurt Street saying to me, he goes,

22
00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:34,480
Speaker 1: when I go to USC games, it's college, but not

23
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:38,160
Speaker 1: just college. It feels like somewhere between the NFL and college.

24
00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:40,600
Speaker 1: And that's what the Miami Hurricanes felt like, and that's

25
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:43,760
Speaker 1: what the Georgetown Hoyas felt like with Ewing and Iverson

26
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:51,639
Speaker 1: and David Wingate and Reggie williams Alonzo morning Georgetown in DC.

27
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:55,000
Speaker 1: It was a college basketball program, but it had the

28
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:59,520
Speaker 1: attitude and the intimidation and personality of a pro team.

29
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:03,160
Speaker 1: So did USC with Pete Carroll. So did Miami with

30
00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:06,360
Speaker 1: Jimmy Johnson and Dennis Ericson. This is not rural America.

31
00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:10,080
Speaker 1: These are distracted markets. There's pro sports everywhere. You gotta

32
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:13,760
Speaker 1: cut through. And I just think in Los Angeles right now,

33
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:20,840
Speaker 1: every college football reporter has the same names. James Franklin's

34
00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:23,440
Speaker 1: not getting this job. He's making eight and a half

35
00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:26,960
Speaker 1: million a year at Penn State. You'd have to buy

36
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:30,239
Speaker 1: him out for four million. So that's four million and

37
00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:32,400
Speaker 1: a buy out. He would have want at least ten

38
00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:36,040
Speaker 1: to twelve million to coach USC. To make the money right,

39
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:38,840
Speaker 1: because LA so expensive. His staff would be eight to

40
00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:41,880
Speaker 1: ten million. USC is not going to be twenty five

41
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:43,639
Speaker 1: million dollars for a coach. They're not going to write

42
00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:46,400
Speaker 1: that check. They're also in Los Angeles, not going to

43
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:49,239
Speaker 1: let somebody walk in and control the program. Doesn't work

44
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 1: that way. This is not aimes Iowa. You know, this

45
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:56,280
Speaker 1: is not a small town where you know, Nick Salman

46
00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:59,440
Speaker 1: can do whatever he wants, whenever he wants. That's fine,

47
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:03,440
Speaker 1: and alabam amma, you know that's not going to work here.

48
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:10,000
Speaker 1: And so I think they're these very unique college cities Miami,

49
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:14,800
Speaker 1: Los Angeles where you have to attack it differently. And

50
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:18,880
Speaker 1: I d C with Georgetown, you got to attack it differently.

51
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:22,320
Speaker 1: And I hope USC thinks big. But god, if I

52
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:24,640
Speaker 1: have to see Chris Peterson ain't taking the job, doesn't

53
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:26,680
Speaker 1: want it. Told me that Bob Stoops has been offered

54
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:29,960
Speaker 1: three or four jobs. He's not doing it. James Franklin,

55
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:32,320
Speaker 1: USC's not going to let a guy come in and

56
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:35,520
Speaker 1: just control the athletic department. He's a control guy. Most

57
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:38,080
Speaker 1: of these college guys, they have to they have to

58
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:43,280
Speaker 1: have the secretary, they have to have the budgets. That's

59
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:47,280
Speaker 1: just not what USC's gonna do. Also, right now, if

60
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:49,880
Speaker 1: I was a college coach, I'd use USC to get

61
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:52,200
Speaker 1: a raise at my school. I mean, the PAC twelve

62
00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:55,640
Speaker 1: television contract right now is a mess. It's a mass.

63
00:03:56,400 --> 00:04:01,560
Speaker 1: USC's highly political. It's not a perfect job. It's not

64
00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:04,200
Speaker 1: nineteen ninety. It's not Pete Carroll's LA when you had

65
00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:07,760
Speaker 1: no NFL in town. You have to win, and you

66
00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:11,520
Speaker 1: have to win a certain way, and frankly, the demands

67
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:15,760
Speaker 1: are intense, and the minute you lose a game, people

68
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:19,360
Speaker 1: are uninterested. You don't get the guaranteed ninety two thousand

69
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:22,040
Speaker 1: home field advantage. It's not the way it works in LA.

70
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:24,960
Speaker 1: People have other things to do. I've always said this,

71
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:28,880
Speaker 1: whenever you have a Beach Miami in LA, it's like

72
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:34,600
Speaker 1: adding another pro team. It's just another option that's fun

73
00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:37,920
Speaker 1: that people can go to. What else are you going

74
00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:44,360
Speaker 1: to do in Auburn, Alabama, Tallahassee, Florida, Gainesville, Florida. I mean,

75
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:47,920
Speaker 1: what else you gonna do? Ninety percent of college football

76
00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:50,360
Speaker 1: powers are in the middle of nowhere. It's the only

77
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:54,240
Speaker 1: game in town. USC. The minute you go on a

78
00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:56,960
Speaker 1: two game losing streak, your revenue drops through the floor.

79
00:04:57,080 --> 00:04:59,520
Speaker 1: Do you see the coliseum Saturday? There was nobody in it,

80
00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:04,680
Speaker 1: third quarter, nobody in it. So you got to you

81
00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:08,320
Speaker 1: gotta cut through. You gotta get a big personality. You

82
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:12,360
Speaker 1: gotta get an NFL guy, go big. God. College football

83
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:19,560
Speaker 1: was so much bigger years ago, Miami, Pete Carroll, Lou Hole.

84
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:25,320
Speaker 1: It feels so insular now. I mean, we basically know

85
00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:28,680
Speaker 1: who's playing in the National Championship Final four. Now you

86
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:32,240
Speaker 1: write the teams down. I think I think USC needs

87
00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:35,520
Speaker 1: to lead the way. California is the fifth biggest economy

88
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:38,479
Speaker 1: in the world. It leads the way for our country

89
00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:43,279
Speaker 1: in tech innovation, in agriculture, one of the top manufacturing

90
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:47,760
Speaker 1: states in aerospace. Why can't we lead it in college sports?

91
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:53,760
Speaker 1: Football teams have never been refined in September. Andy Reid,

92
00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:58,360
Speaker 1: Sean McVay, Matt Naggie. Offensive coaches. They spend off season

93
00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:02,800
Speaker 1: scheming new plays. So I do think offensive coaches have

94
00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:08,000
Speaker 1: an advantage over defensive coaches in September. Defenses are rarely

95
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:10,760
Speaker 1: in great form early. There's a long time baseball saying

96
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:14,039
Speaker 1: an opening day pitchers are ahead of hitters. The belief

97
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:16,800
Speaker 1: is that hitters perform worse at the beginning of the season. Therefore,

98
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:20,880
Speaker 1: pitchers perform better at the beginning of the season. Last week,

99
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:24,880
Speaker 1: the biggest numbers were put up by the Saints, Sean Payton, Cardinals,

100
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:32,120
Speaker 1: Cliff Kingsbury, Eagles, Nick Seriani, Niners, Kyle Shanahan, Rams, Sean McVay.

101
00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:37,880
Speaker 1: September is for offensive coaches. Consider that when gambling, he's

102
00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:41,560
Speaker 1: not high profile like Cam Newton. He doesn't have endorsements.

103
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:45,480
Speaker 1: But it's remarkable to me how we always forget about

104
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:49,720
Speaker 1: Nick Foles, who outdueled Tom Brady a Super Bowl, who

105
00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:53,680
Speaker 1: has a career record over five hundred. In fact, with Philadelphia,

106
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:57,239
Speaker 1: when he had decent offensive line protection and a smart

107
00:06:57,279 --> 00:07:00,320
Speaker 1: offensive coach, he was twenty one and eleven a passer

108
00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:04,159
Speaker 1: rating above ninety three. He's played in six playoff games.

109
00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:07,760
Speaker 1: He's won four eleven tds, five picks in a ninety

110
00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:12,240
Speaker 1: nine passer rating. Nick Foles has always been as good

111
00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:18,200
Speaker 1: is his surrounding protection and coaching. Nick Foles, I'm not

112
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:23,400
Speaker 1: building my franchise around him. My argument is he's absolutely

113
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:26,640
Speaker 1: and has been for the last several years, the best

114
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:31,920
Speaker 1: backup quarterback in the NFL. He's starting his thirteenth year

115
00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:35,680
Speaker 1: on NBC's Football Night in America. It's been a great

116
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:38,520
Speaker 1: privilege to know Tony Dungee, one of the most ethical

117
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:42,200
Speaker 1: and decent guys I've ever known, and I just love

118
00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:44,800
Speaker 1: chatting to him. He's really smart, Tony. I talked to

119
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:49,520
Speaker 1: Peyton Manning recently. He was so funny. I said, you know,

120
00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:52,680
Speaker 1: when there was a view that you know, you ran

121
00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:57,000
Speaker 1: the offense and Tony ran the defense and he was

122
00:07:57,080 --> 00:08:00,960
Speaker 1: the head coach, And I said, you know, did you

123
00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:03,520
Speaker 1: did you and Tony? You know, tell me the first

124
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:05,720
Speaker 1: time you and Tony locked horns. And he told the

125
00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:08,880
Speaker 1: funny story. He goes. He came to me, he said,

126
00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:16,200
Speaker 1: Peyton stopped throwing interceptions right now. I don't know if

127
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:18,920
Speaker 1: I don't know if I put it exactly that way,

128
00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:22,280
Speaker 1: but we did have a discussion and I said, hey, Peyton,

129
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:25,280
Speaker 1: we are an explosive offense. We're going to continue to

130
00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:28,960
Speaker 1: be explosive, but we've got to take care of the football.

131
00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:30,560
Speaker 1: If we take care of the football, we're going to

132
00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:35,000
Speaker 1: be a championship team. And he didn't understand that totally.

133
00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:39,160
Speaker 1: He didn't grasp it. And it came slowly but surely.

134
00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:43,520
Speaker 1: And two thousand and two was my first year there

135
00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:45,680
Speaker 1: kind of brought into a little bit of two thousand

136
00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:47,840
Speaker 1: and three, two thousand and four, he goes forty nine

137
00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:51,000
Speaker 1: touchdowns and ten und sup. That's when it clicked, and

138
00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:52,839
Speaker 1: that's when we became a team you had to be

139
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:56,840
Speaker 1: reckoned with. You know, it is interesting because Tony, I'm

140
00:08:57,080 --> 00:09:02,040
Speaker 1: I like guys um you know, Tom Brady, he'll throw picks,

141
00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:06,600
Speaker 1: Eli Manning, big Ben, Brett Farve. What is the line,

142
00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:09,599
Speaker 1: Tony where you don't want to dissuade a tack like

143
00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:14,040
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson. I want him to run. He may fumble occasionally, Like,

144
00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:16,160
Speaker 1: what's the line for you as a coach? What you'll

145
00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:19,839
Speaker 1: tolerate and what'll drive you nuts? The line is you

146
00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:22,880
Speaker 1: can't turn the ball over. You can't. You've got to

147
00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:26,080
Speaker 1: take care of the football, and that's which you've got

148
00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:28,680
Speaker 1: to get across them. Interceptions are going to happen, Fumbles

149
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:30,920
Speaker 1: are going to happen, but everybody's got to take that.

150
00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:34,559
Speaker 1: When it does happen, it's a catastrophe. It's not a

151
00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:36,959
Speaker 1: it's okay. And yeah, we took some shots and so

152
00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:39,040
Speaker 1: we lost the ball here, it's no big deal. It

153
00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:41,839

183
00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:27,200
Speaker 1: at the college level, Tony coaches have control, They control

184
00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:30,480
Speaker 1: the personnel. Nick Saban's personality to me is more controlling.

185
00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:32,760
Speaker 1: It's a better fit in the college than it is

186
00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:37,880
Speaker 1: in the NFL. You know, Belichick has control, Pete Carroll does,

187
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:40,480
Speaker 1: but they've also had sort of odd drafts. Bills really

188
00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:44,079
Speaker 1: struggle that some positions in the draft. Pete's missed on

189
00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:47,480
Speaker 1: some first round ors. Several You could have worked in college,

190
00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:49,760
Speaker 1: but you always felt like a pro coach where control

191
00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:53,920
Speaker 1: wasn't that valuable to you. Go back to your career,

192
00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:56,280
Speaker 1: how because I see a lot of these coaches. Now,

193
00:11:56,440 --> 00:11:59,439
Speaker 1: all college coaches want control, but some of these NFL

194
00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:02,600
Speaker 1: guys they want more saying personnel. Heck, Aaron Rodgers now

195
00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:06,439
Speaker 1: says he wants saying personnel. I'm not a fan of that.

196
00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:09,240
Speaker 1: What you tell me? Did it matter to you? How

197
00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:13,480
Speaker 1: did you and Pollion make it work? People asked that

198
00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:16,040
Speaker 1: question all the time, especially lately. You know who had

199
00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:18,360
Speaker 1: control of the draft, who had the final say, who

200
00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:21,720
Speaker 1: had the final say on the fifty three? I honestly

201
00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:24,839
Speaker 1: don't know, Colin. I'm sure Bill did, but you know

202
00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:28,040
Speaker 1: we would have discussions, and I knew Bill was not

203
00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:31,079
Speaker 1: going to draft the player that I didn't want. I

204
00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:32,680
Speaker 1: was not going to keep a guy on the team

205
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:35,280
Speaker 1: that Bill didn't want. We had a great capacity to

206
00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:38,000
Speaker 1: listen to each other, to build things out and work together.

207
00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:41,800
Speaker 1: And that's what you have to have. And it was

208
00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:46,400
Speaker 1: a partnership. And I don't understand this. You know, I've

209
00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:48,120
Speaker 1: got to be right, it's got to be my way.

210
00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:50,640
Speaker 1: I've got to have control. When I started coaching in

211
00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:54,920
Speaker 1: nineteen eighty one, Chuck Nole, I went into this office

212
00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:56,680
Speaker 1: and I said, what am I supposed to do? I've

213
00:12:56,679 --> 00:12:58,679
Speaker 1: never coached before, tell me what I'm supposed to do.

214
00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:01,400
Speaker 1: And he said, You're job is to help your players

215
00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:05,719
Speaker 1: play better. And it was so simple, but that is

216
00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:08,640
Speaker 1: the formula, and so I always felt that way. I

217
00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:10,839
Speaker 1: don't have to have control. I have to help my

218
00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:14,599
Speaker 1: players play better. Now, Bill Poland and Rich McKay before that,

219
00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:17,480
Speaker 1: to their credit, they got to know what kind of

220
00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:21,760
Speaker 1: players would flourish well under me, and so, hey, don't

221
00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:25,200
Speaker 1: draft the player that needs a full time babysitter. Don't

222
00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:28,440
Speaker 1: draft the player that's not motivated. That's not what Tony's

223
00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:30,600
Speaker 1: good at. He's gonna coach him, he's gonna work him,

224
00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:33,040
Speaker 1: he's going to help him. But certain types of guys

225
00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:35,360
Speaker 1: are going to flourish here. Certain types of guys aren't.

226
00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:37,920
Speaker 1: And once we understood that, we were in great. See

227
00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:40,959
Speaker 1: there's a bunch of young quarterbacks. Some will play immedia

228
00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:43,600
Speaker 1: at least, some like Trey Lance, have a better situation.

229
00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:47,440
Speaker 1: They can slowly be kind of moved and into the offense.

230
00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:51,360
Speaker 1: What is a fan? That's what I am in the end.

231
00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:55,480
Speaker 1: I'm a broadcaster, but I'm a fan. When you looked

232
00:13:55,520 --> 00:14:00,120
Speaker 1: at young quarterbacks, what was an early sign either they

233
00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:04,240
Speaker 1: were yours or you were facing them an early sign that,

234
00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:08,960
Speaker 1: oh that's a little bit of a problems. This isn't

235
00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:12,920
Speaker 1: going to work, or the opposite, oh he does that. Well,

236
00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:18,400
Speaker 1: are there traits Tony that are problematic that you spot

237
00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:22,720
Speaker 1: that that just historically in your thirty five forty years,

238
00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:26,040
Speaker 1: like if a guy can't do blank, it's not gonna work.

239
00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:30,400
Speaker 1: I was felt there were two things NFL quarterbacks needed.

240
00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:34,200
Speaker 1: They needed Number one, they need poise and the ability

241
00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:37,320
Speaker 1: to filter everything out and do what they do in

242
00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:41,000
Speaker 1: the high pressure situation. And then number two, they need accuracy.

243
00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:44,360
Speaker 1: I remember I played on the forty nine team when

244
00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:47,080
Speaker 1: Joe Montana was a rookie and he came in and

245
00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:50,440
Speaker 1: you saw that he was so cool and calm and collected,

246
00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:54,200
Speaker 1: and then every ball was right between the numbers, and

247
00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:56,680
Speaker 1: so even when he wasn't playing, and you said, man,

248
00:14:56,760 --> 00:14:59,240
Speaker 1: this guy he's got that. He's got the poise, he's

249
00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:02,480
Speaker 1: got the accus looked at paid Manning Brady, you know

250
00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:05,960
Speaker 1: all the great ones they had that they can put

251
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:08,880
Speaker 1: the ball right where they want it and they have poised.

252
00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:11,080
Speaker 1: Now you can see a quarterback who's got a lot

253
00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:15,400
Speaker 1: of other things when they're not accurate, or they tend

254
00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:18,440
Speaker 1: to get rattled. Then you say, I don't know if

255
00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:21,400
Speaker 1: he's going to be a great NFL quarterback. So I

256
00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:24,440
Speaker 1: said this. I've been a huge defender of Lamar Jackson,

257
00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:28,040
Speaker 1: and one of the things I've said is listen, he

258
00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:33,040
Speaker 1: cares so deeply. He's not perfect. Okay, Elion Brady couldn't move.

259
00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:38,400
Speaker 1: I'm not looking for perfect. But he's never distracted. His

260
00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:43,680
Speaker 1: body has changed. He cares so much about winning and losing,

261
00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:47,080
Speaker 1: and I wonder if you coached him would it. He's

262
00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:51,000
Speaker 1: a playmaker. My argument is, Okay, he's not a great

263
00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:55,720
Speaker 1: up the sideline thrower, but nobody else can move like him.

264
00:15:56,360 --> 00:15:59,880
Speaker 1: Would you ever be uncomfortable with the times he runs

265
00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:03,200
Speaker 1: or the hits he takes? How would you feel about

266
00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:07,200
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson. No, he's going to learn, and he's so

267
00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:11,720
Speaker 1: super competitive that he is running into traffic. He's taking

268
00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:13,880
Speaker 1: hits that he doesn't have to take, and he'll learn

269
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:16,280
Speaker 1: not to do that. But I would love to coach

270
00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:18,840
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson to have him be my quarterback. He gives

271
00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:21,920
Speaker 1: the defense so much headache. There's things you can't do

272
00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:25,720
Speaker 1: against Lamar Jackson on defense. He may not have the

273
00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:29,920
Speaker 1: super accuracy that I'm looking for, but his mobility more

274
00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:33,160
Speaker 1: than makes up of that. So yeah, I think he's

275
00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:35,640
Speaker 1: going to be special. I think he's gonna win a

276
00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:40,320
Speaker 1: Super Bowl before he's finished a keep to leave stopping

277
00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:42,560
Speaker 1: by today the multiple time pro bowler got a super Bowl.

278
00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:44,960
Speaker 1: Let's bring him in, all right, a keep to leave.

279
00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:49,840
Speaker 1: So let's let's first address Cleveland, Kansas City. And you know,

280
00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:55,080
Speaker 1: sometimes fans don't think about, you know, adjustments and halftime adjustments.

281
00:16:55,480 --> 00:17:01,160
Speaker 1: So Cleveland, with excellent play calling, had the Chiefs totally

282
00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:03,480
Speaker 1: on their heels, right, and then they came out in

283
00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:06,479
Speaker 1: the second half far more aggressive. And then Cleveland got

284
00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:09,800
Speaker 1: a little conservative. And that's a different ball game. But

285
00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:13,760
Speaker 1: when I watched it, you know, my takeaway was, that's

286
00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:16,000
Speaker 1: a tough spot for Cleveland. They don't have a winning franchise,

287
00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:20,240
Speaker 1: they're lead at halftime, this is this is the most

288
00:17:20,320 --> 00:17:23,720
Speaker 1: dynamic offense. And I thought Cleveland got a little conservative

289
00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:26,280
Speaker 1: in the second half with their play calling. What was

290
00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:29,000
Speaker 1: your takeaway? I mean, I think it's hard not to

291
00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:32,880
Speaker 1: get conservative when you got those backs right. It's right,

292
00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:35,399
Speaker 1: it's hard with that old line in them backs. If

293
00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:38,000
Speaker 1: I'm up like like the Browns was up, how can

294
00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:40,560
Speaker 1: I not get conservative? Right? That's that's kind of what

295
00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:43,280
Speaker 1: we was doing to get to this point. Play accents,

296
00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:45,200
Speaker 1: faking it like we was gonna get it these guys.

297
00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:48,200
Speaker 1: So man, it's just hard to beat the Chiefs. Man's

298
00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:52,359
Speaker 1: they can score like this. You had the box punt,

299
00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:54,160
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, and gave them the short field.

300
00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:56,879
Speaker 1: So it's just hard to beat the Chiefs. But I

301
00:17:57,000 --> 00:18:00,680
Speaker 1: think I think Cleveland played it right. Arizona, Tennessee, my

302
00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:05,600
Speaker 1: big concern was Ryan Tannehill, was this is that his career?

303
00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:07,920
Speaker 1: You know, he was kind of flayling and then he

304
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:12,480
Speaker 1: got Arthur Smith, the offensive coordinator. And you know, listen,

305
00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:16,280
Speaker 1: coordinators matter. You've I mean, you're you're talented enough that

306
00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:20,280
Speaker 1: a coordinator isn't going to change the trajectory of a

307
00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:23,760
Speaker 1: keep to Leeds career. But for a quarterback that's solid.

308
00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:27,240
Speaker 1: If you get a McVeigh or a Shanahan or maybe

309
00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:29,879
Speaker 1: an Arthur Smith, it changes the trajectory or your career.

310
00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:35,120
Speaker 1: So he leaves it, he takes he takes the Atlanta

311
00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:37,520
Speaker 1: Falcon's job. Now that doesn't mean he's gonna win immediately

312
00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:39,280
Speaker 1: as a head coach, but he was a hell of

313
00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:43,159
Speaker 1: a coordinator. And when I watched Tennessee today, maybe it

314
00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:45,760
Speaker 1: was a lack of returning starters. Maybe it was just

315
00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:48,399
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray getting in a lead and putting pressure on them,

316
00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:53,639
Speaker 1: like what jumped out to you? Really I thought it

317
00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:56,680
Speaker 1: was a zone to stop the run. They did a

318
00:18:56,720 --> 00:18:59,959
Speaker 1: good job stopping to stopping there Henry early he had

319
00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:03,119
Speaker 1: big runs to I think, like third quarter, maybe he

320
00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:06,840
Speaker 1: had too many big runs. So I get credit to

321
00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:09,520
Speaker 1: that Cardinals defense man Xavi and Collins was in there,

322
00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:15,600
Speaker 1: Isaid Simmons was moving around everywhere. Chandler Jones, JJ White

323
00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:17,280
Speaker 1: came and played the hell out the run. So you

324
00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:19,680
Speaker 1: really can see the change in their defense. So, oh

325
00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:21,560
Speaker 1: JJ White on that D line, you know you're gonna

326
00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:24,240
Speaker 1: be able to stop the run. So I think that's

327
00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:27,639
Speaker 1: what the difference was. Arizona was stopping Derek Henry, and

328
00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:30,760
Speaker 1: you know it made him do other things. Do you

329
00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:33,719
Speaker 1: like Kyler Murray? I love Kyler Murray man, I love

330
00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:38,200
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray. Eaves put on another show today, this Cardinal

331
00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:40,359
Speaker 1: team special Colin. You see, I keep on talking about

332
00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:43,239
Speaker 1: these Cardinals. They special, They got something going. I think

333
00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:45,000
Speaker 1: they've been right there on the Cusps. But you know,

334
00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:50,320
Speaker 1: as as you as he played with Kingsburry and just

335
00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:53,720
Speaker 1: stay third year together, I think you know they on

336
00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:57,200
Speaker 1: they wait now they finally turned that corner and coylege special.

337
00:19:57,280 --> 00:20:01,160
Speaker 1: There's gonna be an MVP type season for Kyler. I think, finally,

338
00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:06,920
Speaker 1: best team you saw, including Tampa Dallas Thursday, best team

339
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:11,439
Speaker 1: you saw and we're doing this before the Bears Rams.

340
00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:13,840
Speaker 1: So I want to say that best team you saw

341
00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:17,320
Speaker 1: this weekend and why Well, I would say Tampa, but

342
00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:19,960
Speaker 1: I thought that I thought that kind of you know,

343
00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:23,160
Speaker 1: he put a little pressure on that secondary. I thought

344
00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:26,000
Speaker 1: that secondary played a little bit better. But Dak has

345
00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:28,920
Speaker 1: proven he turned in that corner man. Dak doing something

346
00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:32,119
Speaker 1: for real, So that took Tampa off. I got to

347
00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:34,359
Speaker 1: ride with Arizona. I'm a ride with the Cardinals that

348
00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:37,760
Speaker 1: I think their defense came out. They stopped Derek Henry

349
00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:40,760
Speaker 1: and the safeties didn't have to really get involved in it.

350
00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:43,359
Speaker 1: They kind of stopped him with the guys up front. J. J. Watt,

351
00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:47,600
Speaker 1: Isaiah Simmons and uh, you know the young the young guy,

352
00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:51,680
Speaker 1: Zamian Collins. So I think they did a good job

353
00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:53,800
Speaker 1: on defense. We know what they got on offense. Hop

354
00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:56,439
Speaker 1: came out, did this thing like regular. Kyler Murray came out,

355
00:20:56,520 --> 00:20:58,560
Speaker 1: did his thing like regular. But I think that defense

356
00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:02,240
Speaker 1: stepped up out a turnover the day, a couple turnovers

357
00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:05,240
Speaker 1: the day. Chandler Jones went crazy. He showed he back,

358
00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:07,520
Speaker 1: he want that, he want that check as well. So

359
00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:10,320
Speaker 1: I got a Rob Arizona man. They jumped off the

360
00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:13,560
Speaker 1: tape to meet. Think about it, Think about them, Buddha Baker,

361
00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:18,320
Speaker 1: Chandler Jones, DeAndre Hopkins, JJ Watt, Kyler Murray, AJ Green.

362
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:22,960
Speaker 1: That's like six elite players in this league if AJ's healthy.

363
00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:26,240
Speaker 1: That's as many as Seattle has. And they and they

364
00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:29,200
Speaker 1: might have a couple in six years, they gonna be

365
00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:32,920
Speaker 1: around there. That Isad Simmons and and and Collins, and

366
00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:36,920
Speaker 1: they gotta Rundal Moore. They got a couple of guys

367
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:40,320
Speaker 1: who could be like that, you know, Kyler Murray. You

368
00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:42,239
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. They got some young names who

369
00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:47,680
Speaker 1: in six years could be those guys. All right here.

370
00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:51,280
Speaker 1: He is Chad Milman, chief Content Officer of the Action Network.

371
00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:53,600
Speaker 1: And the way this game works is I give you

372
00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:56,240
Speaker 1: my take on it, and you say, sharper square and

373
00:21:56,280 --> 00:21:58,920
Speaker 1: then give me what you would do. So let's start

374
00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:03,520
Speaker 1: with this. I like the Chargers, it's now minus three

375
00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:07,000
Speaker 1: and a half. I like them before. I like them

376
00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:11,800
Speaker 1: more now without DeMarcus Lawrence easily the best Cowboy defensive player.

377
00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:17,280
Speaker 1: Is that The fact that the Washington defense really got

378
00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:20,800
Speaker 1: no pressure on Justin Herbert and now the Cowboys bringing

379
00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:23,720
Speaker 1: a defense or front without their best player tells me

380
00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:27,639
Speaker 1: that Justin Herbert at home is going to have a

381
00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:32,200
Speaker 1: lot of time to throw the football. He was remarkable

382
00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:35,720
Speaker 1: on third down last week, bizarrely good seventy four percent

383
00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:39,600
Speaker 1: against the Washington defense. And it should be noted a

384
00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:43,320
Speaker 1: defensive leaning staff that had more than a week to

385
00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:48,600
Speaker 1: prepare for them. Dallas has a more offensive minded staff.

386
00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:51,720
Speaker 1: I'm going to take the Chargers preferably at minus three,

387
00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:55,639
Speaker 1: but even if it's minus three and a half, sharper square.

388
00:22:57,000 --> 00:23:05,280
Speaker 1: So the Chargers are a sharp play. But they were

389
00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:07,520
Speaker 1: a sharp play when this game opened at two and

390
00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:10,880
Speaker 1: a half, yes, and now it was bet up to three.

391
00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:13,479
Speaker 1: It was bet up to three and a half. At

392
00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:15,080
Speaker 1: three and a half is not a sharp play anymore.

393
00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:17,960
Speaker 1: It's just the side that everybody is playing, and they've

394
00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:23,800
Speaker 1: been playing it more aggressively since the news about about

395
00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:28,120
Speaker 1: the defensive lineman whose name I just forgots Lawrence. I think, yeah,

396
00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:31,560
Speaker 1: DeMarcus Lawrence. And since the news about him came out

397
00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:35,119
Speaker 1: Michael Gallup not playing, there have been some injuries on

398
00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:38,000
Speaker 1: that team in the span of the twenty four to

399
00:23:38,119 --> 00:23:39,840
Speaker 1: forty eight hours, just in the last couple of days.

400
00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:42,680
Speaker 1: That's why it's no longer a sharp side at three

401
00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:45,639
Speaker 1: and a half. Personally, I'm not going to play it

402
00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:48,760
Speaker 1: anymore because there's an old acium in betting, get the

403
00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:51,840
Speaker 1: best of the number, and oftentimes if you like the

404
00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:54,840
Speaker 1: side but the number has moved so far, especially over

405
00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:58,800
Speaker 1: a key number like three, and you missed it, you

406
00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:00,959
Speaker 1: don't bet it because then that's going to come back

407
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:03,399
Speaker 1: to bite you in the long run. So I like

408
00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:06,439
Speaker 1: the Chargers in this game, I won't bet it because

409
00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:10,480
Speaker 1: I don't like I don't like the number anymore. Interesting

410
00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:13,679
Speaker 1: game I feel strongly about. I don't like favorites. Generally,

411
00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:17,240
Speaker 1: I would take the Steelers minus five hosting the Raiders.

412
00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:23,959
Speaker 1: Raiders on a short week. I really think what Pittsburgh

413
00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:27,840
Speaker 1: was able to do, which was completely unravel a more

414
00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:33,400
Speaker 1: than capable Buffalo offense at home. We forget the Steelers

415
00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:36,200
Speaker 1: were a dominant defensive unit last year until they fell apart.

416
00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:39,560
Speaker 1: We were reminded in opening week at Buffalo just how

417
00:24:39,760 --> 00:24:43,600
Speaker 1: dominant and relentless they are Raiders in a short week.

418
00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:48,200
Speaker 1: I don't even know if they're particularly well coached. I

419
00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:51,680
Speaker 1: feel like there are two person offense. With Derek Carr

420
00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:56,280
Speaker 1: and Waller, the Steelers were able to buy committee shut

421
00:24:56,320 --> 00:24:59,760
Speaker 1: down Stefon Diggs. I would take the Steelers a favorite

422
00:24:59,800 --> 00:25:04,800
Speaker 1: to cover here, sharp or dull, sharp, very sharp right side.

423
00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:11,720
Speaker 1: The defense is fierce, no doubt about it. What was

424
00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:16,120
Speaker 1: interesting about that Bill's game, and you and I both

425
00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:18,240
Speaker 1: liked the Steelers. You and I both liked the Steelers

426
00:25:18,280 --> 00:25:21,000
Speaker 1: to win in that game. Ben Roethlisberger in the second

427
00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:22,840
Speaker 1: half of that game. They had a lot of troubles

428
00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:24,800
Speaker 1: in the first half of the offense. In the second

429
00:25:24,840 --> 00:25:28,760
Speaker 1: half of that game, he played like a savvy veteran

430
00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:32,280
Speaker 1: and when they needed to have plays made third downs,

431
00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:35,280
Speaker 1: you weren't worried that Ben Roethlisberger was going to turn

432
00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:37,760
Speaker 1: the ball over. And that's how they won the game.

433
00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:39,959
Speaker 1: They were methodical, they got the right plays, they had

434
00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:43,720
Speaker 1: the right turnover from special teams. I thought they were

435
00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:49,560
Speaker 1: just incredibly really well coached. That game. Great spot for

436
00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:52,440
Speaker 1: Mike Tomlin that last week. That's the only thing that

437
00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:54,760
Speaker 1: scares me up this week is Mike Tomlin is amazing

438
00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:57,679
Speaker 1: when he's got a row out his team. He's less

439
00:25:57,760 --> 00:26:02,400
Speaker 1: amazing when his team is favored and they're supposed to win. Okay,

440
00:26:02,440 --> 00:26:06,840
Speaker 1: I'm gonna throw on at you. You talk me out

441
00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:10,840
Speaker 1: of betting the Seahawks last week? Did I? Yeah? I

442
00:26:10,920 --> 00:26:13,000
Speaker 1: think I did. No, No, I think I did. That's right,

443
00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:17,360
Speaker 1: that's right. So I have a rule that well coached

444
00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:20,760
Speaker 1: teams that are good, not bad teams, but capable. Well

445
00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:25,520
Speaker 1: coached teams when they play poorly or are humiliated, always

446
00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:29,600
Speaker 1: bounced back. The Colts not only lost, they were pushed

447
00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:34,600
Speaker 1: all over the field. The Rams are a good team.

448
00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:37,960
Speaker 1: This is Stafford's first road game. They're feeling very good

449
00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:41,920
Speaker 1: about themselves. The number was four, it's now three and

450
00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:46,240
Speaker 1: a half. I would take a well coached, talented team

451
00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:50,280
Speaker 1: and the points if it's over three against the Rams,

452
00:26:50,359 --> 00:26:53,320
Speaker 1: who we all now love. They're a little overvalued. It

453
00:26:53,520 --> 00:27:01,359
Speaker 1: was the Bears Sharper Square. It is so sharp, I

454
00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:05,560
Speaker 1: feel like I'm watching a Ronco commercial and you are

455
00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:10,000
Speaker 1: selling me knives. That is how sharp it is. This

456
00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:11,920
Speaker 1: is exactly the side you want to be a. I

457
00:27:12,040 --> 00:27:14,560
Speaker 1: love this game. I love the Colts in this game.

458
00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:16,800
Speaker 1: I betted at four. I think three and a half

459
00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:23,920
Speaker 1: is still good. There's a stat home underdogs coming off

460
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:30,560
Speaker 1: of a loss since two thousand and five. In Week two,

461
00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:37,320
Speaker 1: home dogs sixty three percent against the spread when the

462
00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:42,439
Speaker 1: spread is six or less. The Colts fit directly into

463
00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:48,000
Speaker 1: that system. That is a nice size data set. And

464
00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:51,560
Speaker 1: agree with everything you said. This is one where the

465
00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:55,639
Speaker 1: market meets the analysis meets the analysis on the field

466
00:27:55,960 --> 00:28:00,280
Speaker 1: right and so for me, that's one hundred percent sharp play.

467
00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:11,320
Speaker 1: That's all for this week. Got a great week coming up.
