1
00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:06,200
Speaker 1: And now move the Sticks with Daniel, Jeremiah and Bucky Brooks.

2
00:00:07,400 --> 00:00:11,200
Speaker 1: What's up everybody? DJ and Rhett here for moved the sticks.

3
00:00:11,240 --> 00:00:14,319
Speaker 1: Bucky is out and about on the bull circuit. And

4
00:00:14,360 --> 00:00:15,800
Speaker 1: so we have the people you in the house. What's

5
00:00:15,880 --> 00:00:18,119
Speaker 1: up right? He's back? What's up? Man? Glad to be

6
00:00:18,160 --> 00:00:20,000
Speaker 1: back here? I tell you what you know. Out of

7
00:00:20,040 --> 00:00:23,400
Speaker 1: all the podcasts I listened to, I love the ten takeaways,

8
00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:25,320
Speaker 1: so like I might just come in and sit down

9
00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:27,400
Speaker 1: and listen. You could be the permanent tent. You could

10
00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:31,560
Speaker 1: be the permanent tent. Takeaway. Here we go. This is gosh.

11
00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:34,080
Speaker 1: I always feel weird on this day. It's a busy day,

12
00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:36,400
Speaker 1: but there's do you feel guilty? We just did seven

13
00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:39,720
Speaker 1: hours of television coverage on what everybody calls black Monday.

14
00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:42,239
Speaker 1: We just call it the Aftermath of the season. Our

15
00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:44,600
Speaker 1: regular show, the Aftermath is two hours. It was seven

16
00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:47,720
Speaker 1: hours of which we have eight coaches that are without jobs,

17
00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:49,000
Speaker 1: and I feel like we kind of roll through it.

18
00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:50,640
Speaker 1: We're talking about who the next guy is gonna be,

19
00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:53,240
Speaker 1: what went wrong, what we're right, and then as somebody

20
00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:55,360
Speaker 1: that grew up in a football family as you did,

21
00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:57,800
Speaker 1: um and haven't been in that world myself. You know

22
00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:00,240
Speaker 1: how many people this impacts with families. So it's just

23
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:02,360
Speaker 1: you always feel weird on a day like today. I've

24
00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:04,479
Speaker 1: been on the our family has been on the wrong

25
00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:07,640
Speaker 1: end of this day twice now, once in New Orleans,

26
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:11,320
Speaker 1: once in Washington, um and and so that is not

27
00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:13,760
Speaker 1: lost on me, and that's not lost on anybody that

28
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:16,080
Speaker 1: we sit at the round table with on the aftermath.

29
00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:18,360
Speaker 1: And I think that's important to note on on a

30
00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:21,160
Speaker 1: day like today, because I mean I get kind of

31
00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:24,720
Speaker 1: emotional thinking about it and talking about it, um and

32
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:26,680
Speaker 1: and because it right, it's not just who's gonna be

33
00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:28,959
Speaker 1: the next coach for your team, It's like where's this kid,

34
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:31,679
Speaker 1: Where's where's my son going to school? You know where

35
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:34,119
Speaker 1: we you know, gonna have to move to. There's so

36
00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:37,520
Speaker 1: many domino effects, no doubt, but we do have a

37
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:40,000
Speaker 1: lot to get to on our Takeaway say we always

38
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:41,840
Speaker 1: do this each and every week to tend Takeaway podcast.

39
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:44,120
Speaker 1: Normally it's based off what's taking place on the field.

40
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:46,200
Speaker 1: We've mixed this in a little bit though, with some

41
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:48,160
Speaker 1: of the changes in turnover as well as what took

42
00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:50,960
Speaker 1: place on the final weekend of NFL football. So I'll

43
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:53,360
Speaker 1: start it off and let's let's look to the future here,

44
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:56,200
Speaker 1: because in my opinion, the Cleveland Brown's job, you heard

45
00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:59,320
Speaker 1: me right, is the best job available. Fourth and Ted

46
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:02,160
Speaker 1: Baker may feel to throw under pressure his passes they

47
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:08,200
Speaker 1: intercepted C. J. Mosley, picks it off, throw down Mosley

48
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:12,120
Speaker 1: when the interception, Hayese in the bar, and the Raymnster

49
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:15,160
Speaker 1: in the playoffs. I mean there, you know, right when

50
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:17,280
Speaker 1: you look at this team and you look at what

51
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:18,880
Speaker 1: you want as an order, if you're coming into an

52
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:21,320
Speaker 1: organization as a coach, you first of all, everybody talks

53
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:24,280
Speaker 1: about ownership. You've got general manager, You've got quarterback. Those

54
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:25,880
Speaker 1: are the three places you look. I think they're in

55
00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:28,639
Speaker 1: great shape, and all three spots they've got salary cap space.

56
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:32,000
Speaker 1: They have a nucleus of talented young players, highlighted by

57
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:35,080
Speaker 1: that group last year with with obviously Baker, Mayfield, Chubb,

58
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:38,520
Speaker 1: Denzel Award Callaway. I mean, they have a great group

59
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:41,839
Speaker 1: of young guys, and I look at a division that's

60
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:43,720
Speaker 1: gonna be there for him. We saw how competitive they

61
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:45,560
Speaker 1: were with the Baltimore Ravens team that end up winning

62
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 1: the division there in Week seventeen. They are right on

63
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:50,120
Speaker 1: the doorstep. I think this is the plumb job. I

64
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:52,639
Speaker 1: felt like they were gonna go down and might actually

65
00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:54,600
Speaker 1: win that game, Like they were getting into fuel goal

66
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:57,840
Speaker 1: Baker makes one throw, they win that out route late

67
00:02:57,840 --> 00:02:59,560
Speaker 1: in the game on that last drive to miss he

68
00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:01,040
Speaker 1: was behind. If he puts that out in front of him,

69
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:02,839
Speaker 1: it's it's a game winning field go coming up next.

70
00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:09,079
Speaker 1: So they got Pick's kind of uh, you know, And

71
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:11,600
Speaker 1: I'm absolutely right with you. I'm absolutely on par with

72
00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:15,000
Speaker 1: you with uh. With quarterback, You've got that there. That's

73
00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:17,880
Speaker 1: that's actually kind of one of the themes this year.

74
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:22,600
Speaker 1: They're coaching jobs out there with quarterbacks. Young quarterbacks. Never happens,

75
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:24,720
Speaker 1: never happens. And you know, if they can figure out

76
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:26,320
Speaker 1: they got the pass rusher deal, they can figure out

77
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:28,600
Speaker 1: the left tackle deal and a couple of a couple

78
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:31,560
Speaker 1: more pieces, Man, that's gonna be a fun ride in Cleveland.

79
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:33,200
Speaker 1: And so now who's it going to be? And I

80
00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:36,440
Speaker 1: will say a little bonus, take care for you. The

81
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:38,400
Speaker 1: Ravens have been the best run team in football since

82
00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:40,760
Speaker 1: Week eleven. Nobody ran it more and nobody ran it

83
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:43,360
Speaker 1: better than the Ravens. But I feel like their best

84
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:47,160
Speaker 1: run this season might be their playoff run. And I'll

85
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:50,480
Speaker 1: tell you that because I feel like they can beat

86
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:53,640
Speaker 1: any team in the a f C. But I also

87
00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:55,000
Speaker 1: do feel like they can lose to any team in

88
00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:59,720
Speaker 1: the a f C. And it's close, nail biter game,

89
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:02,800
Speaker 1: you're gonna run your fingernails down, but they're gonna be

90
00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:04,080
Speaker 1: in it, and they're gonna have a chance to win

91
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:05,880
Speaker 1: it late and they can muddy it up. They can

92
00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:09,720
Speaker 1: shorten the game. We saw outside of a Patrick Mahomes throw,

93
00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:11,960
Speaker 1: you know, on a fourth down. That was nuts that

94
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:14,440
Speaker 1: they were in that game against the Chiefs. So like

95
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:17,320
Speaker 1: they can beat anyone, and I feel like they can

96
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:20,480
Speaker 1: run right through the a f C, no doubt. That's

97
00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:21,920
Speaker 1: a that's a great point. Why don't you can see

98
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:23,960
Speaker 1: your first take away here we go. How about from

99
00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:30,000
Speaker 1: miracle to misery? In Minnesota, ten Bears snapped Cousins looking

100
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:31,960
Speaker 1: at throw, gonna eave it deep into the end zone,

101
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:33,760
Speaker 1: going up floor it and it sails out of the

102
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:35,760
Speaker 1: back of the end zone. It is fourth down, and

103
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:38,320
Speaker 1: that will do it that. We'll do it here in Minnesota,

104
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:41,279
Speaker 1: the Vikings go off the field on a fourth down

105
00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:45,640
Speaker 1: try fait to black Bears are gonna take it over

106
00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:48,120
Speaker 1: and win their twelfth game of the year. They'll do

107
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:50,760
Speaker 1: it on the road here in Minnesota and knock the

108
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:54,600
Speaker 1: rival Vikings out of the playoff. Okay, So I mean

109
00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:56,360
Speaker 1: one of the images that I'll that I think about

110
00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:59,440
Speaker 1: now from this season and from where the Vikings are

111
00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:01,920
Speaker 1: right now, where they were around this time a year

112
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:06,039
Speaker 1: ago after the Minneapolis miracle, Stefon Digg scores throws his

113
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:10,640
Speaker 1: helmet off right through the helmet again this time, and

114
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:14,040
Speaker 1: and so how how far they have come and how

115
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:17,799
Speaker 1: different this is now, um about a year removed? Is

116
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:19,960
Speaker 1: is kind of crazy. I mean, like you see, you

117
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:21,840
Speaker 1: know something we really didn't see all year long, Like

118
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:26,040
Speaker 1: Kirk and Adam Feeling are on the same page, right,

119
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:28,400
Speaker 1: and even their defense wasn't up to the level that

120
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:31,040
Speaker 1: they were at a year ago, and so everything just

121
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:33,000
Speaker 1: seemed to fall apart. They could not run the ball,

122
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:35,680
Speaker 1: and this offensive line. You know, we kind of gave

123
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:37,480
Speaker 1: Rick Spielman a lot of credit for turning that thing

124
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:40,279
Speaker 1: around a little bit last year. Now it's kind of

125
00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:42,400
Speaker 1: fallen back and they look they dealt with some injuries too,

126
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:44,599
Speaker 1: but man, they've got to get better on the offensive line.

127
00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:47,600
Speaker 1: I mean, look, Kirk Cousins not play up to par

128
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:49,480
Speaker 1: what you need from him when when you're paying him

129
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:52,000
Speaker 1: that kind of money. They're not very good upfront offensively.

130
00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:54,000
Speaker 1: And until they get that squared away, it's not really

131
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:55,960
Speaker 1: gonna matter who's back there. They're not gonna get where

132
00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:58,200
Speaker 1: they ultimately want to go. I would imagine that's going

133
00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:00,320
Speaker 1: to be first and foremost what they had us in

134
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:03,119
Speaker 1: the off season. But I would say we're talking about

135
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:06,599
Speaker 1: this earlier today. Most disappointing teams, I don't know they're

136
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:10,240
Speaker 1: they're they're up up to the top. I still say Jacksonville, Jacksonville, Pittsburg,

137
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:13,320
Speaker 1: Minnesota right up there. If you told me this Minnesota

138
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:15,560
Speaker 1: team after edchar Cousins would not make the postseason, I

139
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:18,320
Speaker 1: wouldn't have believed you. Right in a home game, win

140
00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:20,520
Speaker 1: or go home with with a Bears team that you

141
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:24,839
Speaker 1: don't know, are they fully committed? Everyone? They played hard? Yeah,

142
00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:27,000
Speaker 1: and they they finished up the season regular season the

143
00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:28,680
Speaker 1: right way. And the reward is they get to see

144
00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:35,400
Speaker 1: the Eagles. The speaking of Luck Watson, luck round three,

145
00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:41,599
Speaker 1: Luck ready under center, takes the snap, takes a knee

146
00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:45,640
Speaker 1: and that'll do it. And the Indianapolis Colts, just the

147
00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:50,080
Speaker 1: third team in NFL history to start one and five

148
00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:54,800
Speaker 1: and make the playoffs. They knock off the Tennessee Titans

149
00:06:55,200 --> 00:07:00,600
Speaker 1: thirty three to seventeen in Nashville. They're headed to Houston. Well,

150
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:02,240
Speaker 1: I can't wait for this one. And I feel like

151
00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:04,240
Speaker 1: with these two quarterbacks, I don't know where you are

152
00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:06,560
Speaker 1: on this red, but we seem like we all these

153
00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:08,599
Speaker 1: young quarterbacks we get excited about and get the attention.

154
00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:10,680
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield has had an unbelievab one of the best

155
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:13,600
Speaker 1: Brookie seasons we've ever seen. Patrick Mahomes probably going to

156
00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:15,760
Speaker 1: be the MVP of the league, young quarterback, getting all

157
00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:18,720
Speaker 1: kinds of tension, even guys like much Robinsky generating some buzz.

158
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:20,880
Speaker 1: I feel like we kind of forget about these two.

159
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:24,120
Speaker 1: And in my one point here on on Watson before

160
00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:27,000
Speaker 1: we get to Andrew Luck watching the Alabama kind of

161
00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:29,520
Speaker 1: smother Oklahoma for the first half of that game, and

162
00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:31,720
Speaker 1: I watch what Alabama does defensive, which is they played

163
00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:34,200
Speaker 1: two man. They can stop their own with five guys,

164
00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:36,040
Speaker 1: so they play man coverage all the wa underneath and

165
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:37,640
Speaker 1: they play with two high safeties. That is the most

166
00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:40,680
Speaker 1: difficult thing to throw against as a quarterback. And the

167
00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:42,480
Speaker 1: more now as time goes on and we see this

168
00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:46,160
Speaker 1: Alabama defensive, just everybody how much we should appreciate Deshaun

169
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:51,000
Speaker 1: Watson against that defense, carving them up twice. And he's

170
00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:53,760
Speaker 1: always been one that doesn't shy away from a big stage.

171
00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:55,400
Speaker 1: And now we get to see him in the postseason

172
00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:57,600
Speaker 1: going up against Andrew Luck who is his gifted in

173
00:07:57,640 --> 00:08:00,240
Speaker 1: his talent as any quarterback in the league. So and

174
00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:02,080
Speaker 1: in this matchup alone, right, this is will be the

175
00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:03,840
Speaker 1: third time we see these two teams. They split the

176
00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:07,800
Speaker 1: regular season series. The Texans got their first one of

177
00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:10,880
Speaker 1: the season against the Colts in Week four and then

178
00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:13,560
Speaker 1: that was in Indianapolis. And then in Week fourteen, the

179
00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:16,840
Speaker 1: Colts come into Houston and stop the Texans win. Street

180
00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:20,120
Speaker 1: started and stopped it exactly the thing that Andrew looked

181
00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:22,840
Speaker 1: through for eight hundred and sixty three yards and two

182
00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:28,480
Speaker 1: games versus the Texans ys hed Uh. Let's see they

183
00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:31,360
Speaker 1: had one in the Week four team matchup. So that's

184
00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:34,320
Speaker 1: got a change for the Texans defense and then for

185
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:37,360
Speaker 1: the Texans offense. You can't, I mean, DeShawn Watson was

186
00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:39,600
Speaker 1: stack eleven times in those two games against the Colts.

187
00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:41,840
Speaker 1: That can't happen. So to me, it's like I gotta

188
00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:44,080
Speaker 1: protect Watson and from the Texans and then getting after

189
00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:47,360
Speaker 1: Luck Man. That's that's that's something that's got to happen

190
00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:49,719
Speaker 1: for sure, no doubt. Get to the next one, Yes,

191
00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:54,720
Speaker 1: let's do it. Folds to the rescue again, fault under seven,

192
00:08:55,200 --> 00:09:05,000
Speaker 1: fault well, pluck it, Lucky fire hot foul and we

193
00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:09,000
Speaker 1: just nick the falling away from Josh Norman old st

194
00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:14,120
Speaker 1: nick Man. How about in week seventeen against the Redskins,

195
00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:16,199
Speaker 1: knowing you were gonna need a little help, he goes

196
00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:20,040
Speaker 1: out and puts twenty five straight completions together? Are you

197
00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:21,920
Speaker 1: kidding me? And then comes out of the game and

198
00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:26,880
Speaker 1: my man, Nick Nate Stutfeld picks were reference was just

199
00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:30,240
Speaker 1: reference in I mean, by the way that is, I'm

200
00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:31,920
Speaker 1: looking through the run down here, is there no Jordan

201
00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:37,920
Speaker 1: Howard taken here? Uh yeah no we we kind it

202
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:41,199
Speaker 1: was a big Hoosier day. But um ladimer, yeah, I

203
00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:43,920
Speaker 1: had a big touchdown cat Keevin Coleman at touchdown run

204
00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:48,000
Speaker 1: one of the better games go ahead. So I just

205
00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:50,440
Speaker 1: you know, every time I think, you know, like this

206
00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:52,439
Speaker 1: is gonna be okay, you know, like, yeah, Nick Foles

207
00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:54,240
Speaker 1: the run was great, but you know, at some point

208
00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:56,800
Speaker 1: it's gonna be midnight, We're gonna all realize that Carson

209
00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:59,480
Speaker 1: Wentz again, you know, is really the quarterback to lead

210
00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:01,800
Speaker 1: this Franchi then he may well very well be. And

211
00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:04,880
Speaker 1: and that's fine. But Nick just has this big play

212
00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:07,120
Speaker 1: game ability. He's not gonna let you. He has not

213
00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:10,480
Speaker 1: left this Eagles team down. Uh, And so I I

214
00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:12,800
Speaker 1: find it hard to count the Eagles out as long

215
00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:15,720
Speaker 1: as he is the guy that's right there making the

216
00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:17,280
Speaker 1: plays for him and with the ball in his hands.

217
00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:20,720
Speaker 1: I mean, what's the key to the postseason? In my opinion,

218
00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:24,440
Speaker 1: it's can your quarterback in your defensive line dominated football game?

219
00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:26,760
Speaker 1: And when you look right now at the way Folds

220
00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:28,240
Speaker 1: is playing as hot as he is, and you look

221
00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:30,679
Speaker 1: at that defensive line that's really getting after the quarterback

222
00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:33,160
Speaker 1: with Fletcher Cox and Michael Bennett and company, that is

223
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:36,199
Speaker 1: a dangerous group. Yeah, no question. Look, the Redskins are

224
00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:38,120
Speaker 1: the Redskins at this point that you know, Josh Johnson

225
00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:40,200
Speaker 1: is playing quarterback like this was, you know, but in

226
00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:41,920
Speaker 1: the end of the division game, you're on the road,

227
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:44,200
Speaker 1: and uh, you know, the Eagles rose to the occasional.

228
00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:45,439
Speaker 1: They got the help they needed, and now I don't

229
00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:48,079
Speaker 1: want to see him in the playoffs. So anyway, hit

230
00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:49,880
Speaker 1: me up with number five. But he got the number five.

231
00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:55,000
Speaker 1: Bengals are playing catch up four thousand five Steelers at

232
00:10:55,040 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 1: the show clips Chris go back, he fires her pass,

233
00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:13,079
Speaker 1: the steer out. Yeah, I'm not talking about Mustard and

234
00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:15,520
Speaker 1: ketchup there. I'm saying they're playing catch up inside this division.

235
00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:17,680
Speaker 1: When you look at the Ravens, the way they're built

236
00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:20,199
Speaker 1: right now, with a talented nucleus on defense as well

237
00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:23,199
Speaker 1: as a kind of a dynamic offense and unique offense

238
00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:25,599
Speaker 1: there with Lamar Jackson, the Cleveland Browns, we've discussed a

239
00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:28,520
Speaker 1: team on the rise. Pittsburgh Steelers, for all their turmoil,

240
00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:31,120
Speaker 1: still have a lot of key pieces in place there. Man.

241
00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:32,920
Speaker 1: I just feel like the Bengals have some some work

242
00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:34,839
Speaker 1: to do. They've got some good pieces on that roster.

243
00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:37,840
Speaker 1: Where you fall down on the quarterback is that's that's

244
00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:40,040
Speaker 1: the big question. I think Andy Dalton is going to

245
00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:41,520
Speaker 1: be the king of good. I don't know that he's

246
00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:43,800
Speaker 1: ever gonna be great. I always put it to you

247
00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:45,760
Speaker 1: this way. People ask, you know, should you be in

248
00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:47,800
Speaker 1: the quarterbacks, should you not be in the quarterback market?

249
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:50,440
Speaker 1: And I always say, if you can't envision in your

250
00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:53,800
Speaker 1: mind the confetti falling from the ceiling on your quarterback's

251
00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:56,280
Speaker 1: head while you hoist a Lombardi Trophy, if you can't

252
00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:58,720
Speaker 1: imagine that or see that, then you need to be

253
00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:00,800
Speaker 1: obviously looking to try and find the guy that can

254
00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:03,000
Speaker 1: be that guy. So my question with Andy don't I

255
00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:05,000
Speaker 1: don't see him in that light. I don't see him

256
00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:08,360
Speaker 1: as a championship caliber quarterback. Um. But when I try

257
00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:12,040
Speaker 1: and rank the jobs with Marvin Lewis gone after sixteen years,

258
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:15,160
Speaker 1: I know there's other jobs more attractive because of the

259
00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:17,319
Speaker 1: quarterback situation. But man, you think you're gonna be giving

260
00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:19,680
Speaker 1: a fair shot the previous guy got sixteen years, win

261
00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:23,080
Speaker 1: a playoff game. Patience is a virtue in Cincinnati. And

262
00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:26,560
Speaker 1: I'll say this, to take your receivers, I gotta running back,

263
00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:29,079
Speaker 1: they've got. They were decimated by injury late A. J.

264
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:31,960
Speaker 1: Green missed a ton of games. But to go one

265
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:35,560
Speaker 1: step further on your on your quarterback evaluation there, I

266
00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:39,000
Speaker 1: feel like if you even have to ask ask the question, like,

267
00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:41,040
Speaker 1: is that kind of telling in and of itself? Like,

268
00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:42,679
Speaker 1: and I'm not saying you just go, you gotta find

269
00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:45,000
Speaker 1: somebody better. If you don't find anybody better than you

270
00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:46,920
Speaker 1: stay the course. And that's the situation that they're in.

271
00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:48,600
Speaker 1: And when I kind of look at the options that

272
00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:49,960
Speaker 1: they would have this year, I don't know that they're

273
00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:51,720
Speaker 1: gonna be able to find an upgrade over Andy Dalton,

274
00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:53,480
Speaker 1: but they need to be kicking the tires on everybody

275
00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:55,440
Speaker 1: to see if they can. And that's that's my point.

276
00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:57,280
Speaker 1: I also feel like we'd be remiss if we did

277
00:12:57,360 --> 00:12:59,880
Speaker 1: not mention what in the world is going on in

278
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:03,440
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh right now. All this Kinka Walla with some great

279
00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:06,920
Speaker 1: insight on on Antonio Brown getting in an argument with

280
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:09,679
Speaker 1: Ben Roethlisberger, showing up with a knee injury on Thursday,

281
00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:13,199
Speaker 1: missing time to get it evaluated, not showing up on Saturday,

282
00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:16,040
Speaker 1: and then kind of a surprise, didn't play on Sunday,

283
00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:20,760
Speaker 1: and and then left the game at halftime. Oh, I

284
00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:23,920
Speaker 1: was taking drama another step further. Now, here's an interesting

285
00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:27,200
Speaker 1: thing when you look at drauma historically with the Pittsburgh Steelers,

286
00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:29,240
Speaker 1: it's always been there. Well, Santonio Holmes had drama, they

287
00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:31,920
Speaker 1: moved on. We've seen Levian Bell. They decided to go away,

288
00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:33,640
Speaker 1: and I know they didn't make the postseason, but you

289
00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:36,400
Speaker 1: can look at what James Conner and Jlen Samuels didn't say. Okay,

290
00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:40,040
Speaker 1: they didn't really they replaced their production. I don't think

291
00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:43,320
Speaker 1: that Antonio Brown can be replaced. He is the singular

292
00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:46,000
Speaker 1: best wide receiver. He's the toughest cover, I'll say, in

293
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:48,640
Speaker 1: the national football he has been for several years. And

294
00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:50,840
Speaker 1: I like James Washington, I know the Steelers have been

295
00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:53,520
Speaker 1: an organization that's done a better job scouting wide receivers

296
00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:55,959
Speaker 1: or anybody else. Manuel Standers, we can go all the

297
00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:58,880
Speaker 1: way down the list of guys, but that's a different dude.

298
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:01,520
Speaker 1: I think I'd be a little more forgiving with Antonio

299
00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:03,480
Speaker 1: Brown's issues and see if you can figure this thing

300
00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:05,360
Speaker 1: out going And if you're a fan base, can you

301
00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:10,520
Speaker 1: actually like envisioned being without Levi On Bell and Antonio

302
00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:12,880
Speaker 1: Brown as you approached to I don't know how you

303
00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:14,800
Speaker 1: do that, but I'm telling you that they've replaced, They've

304
00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:16,679
Speaker 1: been able to replace guys. I don't think this guy's

305
00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:18,880
Speaker 1: one that you can replace. I would agree with you

306
00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:20,920
Speaker 1: on that, all right, I'll get us to take away

307
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:25,720
Speaker 1: numbers six, one and done for Wilkes. Snap follows down,

308
00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:29,600
Speaker 1: the kick is up, and the kick is good, and

309
00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:34,680
Speaker 1: the Seahawks win it four. It's like Cardinals finished three

310
00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:38,120
Speaker 1: and thirteen. They will have the number one pick and

311
00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:42,640
Speaker 1: the two thousand nineteen draft. And you know this is

312
00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:46,280
Speaker 1: I hate, I really hate to see this because one

313
00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:48,280
Speaker 1: and duns are tough to swallow in the NFL, because

314
00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:50,080
Speaker 1: we have your family out there for one year. That's

315
00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:52,840
Speaker 1: what we're saying, man, I mean like that. And look,

316
00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:55,600
Speaker 1: and that's not to say that, oh whoa were what

317
00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:58,160
Speaker 1: were the NFL coaches were making five six, seven million

318
00:14:58,160 --> 00:14:59,880
Speaker 1: dollars a year? Not all of them are not those

319
00:14:59,920 --> 00:15:02,200
Speaker 1: of assistance. You know that. That's exactly right. And it's

320
00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:04,280
Speaker 1: not just the head man, it's the staff and everything

321
00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:07,280
Speaker 1: that goes with it. But you know, I also look

322
00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:10,600
Speaker 1: back at guys that have been given a little bit

323
00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:13,960
Speaker 1: of patience. Uh Ron Rivera one of those guys who

324
00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:15,800
Speaker 1: we put on the hot seat for a couple of

325
00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:18,640
Speaker 1: seasons in Carolina. They stuck with him, he brought brought

326
00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:20,520
Speaker 1: him to the super Bowl. He's getting another year this

327
00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:24,160
Speaker 1: year after after a real uh bad second half in Carolina.

328
00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:27,800
Speaker 1: So you just wonder, like, is one season really enough

329
00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:30,320
Speaker 1: to make your imprint on a team. So I think

330
00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:32,080
Speaker 1: about that, and then I go back and look at

331
00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:34,680
Speaker 1: what the Cardinals did this year. We're scoring offense in

332
00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:37,320
Speaker 1: the NFL, worst total offense in the NFL. They got

333
00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:39,000
Speaker 1: beat it. They gotta beat thirty four to nothing in

334
00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:41,320
Speaker 1: week two, they gotta beat forty five to ten in

335
00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:45,280
Speaker 1: week seven, forty five to ten in week twelve, fourteen

336
00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:49,360
Speaker 1: in week fift not good. You know, like, okay, can

337
00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:51,520
Speaker 1: you see the forest through the trees? If you're Steve

338
00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:55,400
Speaker 1: come and if you're Michael Bidwell, and in that regard,

339
00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:57,960
Speaker 1: I kind of understand it. Yeah, it's it's tough anything

340
00:15:57,960 --> 00:15:59,520
Speaker 1: you don't want to see you guys only get one year.

341
00:15:59,840 --> 00:16:02,560
Speaker 1: But you also don't wanna kind of languish. You don't

342
00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:04,120
Speaker 1: don't you don't want to go further into the hole.

343
00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:07,200
Speaker 1: You know, there's always that that phrase in football, say

344
00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:09,160
Speaker 1: not every sport. Really don't want to compound the mistake,

345
00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:12,120
Speaker 1: make the initial mistake, you know, announce it, correct it,

346
00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:14,600
Speaker 1: move on. Uh. And that's what they've done in this situation.

347
00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:16,240
Speaker 1: So we'll see what happens there in Arizona. I do

348
00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:18,440
Speaker 1: think the fact that you have a quarterback with a

349
00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:20,120
Speaker 1: ton of ability and a young guy and johns Rows

350
00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:22,400
Speaker 1: and the number one overall pick and it's a great

351
00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:24,360
Speaker 1: place to live things is great. So I think that's

352
00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:26,360
Speaker 1: an attractive job. I think they'll get a good candidate

353
00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:30,000
Speaker 1: there in Arizona. All right, next one, Hunter Henry, your

354
00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:34,520
Speaker 1: services are needed. Rivers in the shotgun. Boarding to his right,

355
00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:38,520
Speaker 1: ocean Man Keenan Allen bakes the handoff to the end zone.

356
00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:45,080
Speaker 1: Touchdown Chargers. Mike Williams, it's tenth TD grab up the season,

357
00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:49,120
Speaker 1: hands the ball to a Charger fan in the front

358
00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:52,320
Speaker 1: row of the end zone. He hands away a little

359
00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:55,560
Speaker 1: piece of history at that tenth touchdown grab, first time

360
00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:58,840
Speaker 1: a Charger receiver has had ten touchdowns since two thousand fourteen.

361
00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:04,200
Speaker 1: Last man to do it, Antonio Gates. This Charger's offense. Look.

362
00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:06,080
Speaker 1: I I called the Charger games for those listening to

363
00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:08,600
Speaker 1: the podcast each and every week there with my buddy

364
00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:10,919
Speaker 1: Matt money Smith. So seeing every game this year with

365
00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:14,120
Speaker 1: this team and really offensively, haven't found a rhythm down

366
00:17:14,119 --> 00:17:16,520
Speaker 1: the stretch here these last couple of games, especially especially

367
00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:18,840
Speaker 1: look at the last three games Philip Rivers has a

368
00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:21,520
Speaker 1: turnover on the opening drive each of the last three games.

369
00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:24,800
Speaker 1: Um just haven't really been clicking. They're gonna see in

370
00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:27,440
Speaker 1: this game against the Baltimore Ravens a lot of man coverage.

371
00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:29,960
Speaker 1: The Ravens like to attack you up front. So the

372
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:32,119
Speaker 1: fact that Hunter Henry is back practicing with the football

373
00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:34,439
Speaker 1: team after missing the entire season coming off of an

374
00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:38,120
Speaker 1: a c L is huge. Antonio Gates is always gonna

375
00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:40,320
Speaker 1: where he's supposed to be. He's got a nice for

376
00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:42,119
Speaker 1: poor with Philip Rivers and Virgil Green is one of

377
00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:44,480
Speaker 1: the best blocking tight ends in the NFL. Hunter Green's

378
00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:46,960
Speaker 1: a different animal. Hunter Green can climb down the seam,

379
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:49,440
Speaker 1: he can get vertical, he can win one on one matchups.

380
00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:52,680
Speaker 1: He's gonna be a big spark for this Chargers team

381
00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:55,960
Speaker 1: that that needs one right now. Offensively, know you're absolutely right,

382
00:17:56,080 --> 00:17:59,160
Speaker 1: and and that is you mean the thing that because

383
00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:01,560
Speaker 1: I know you've given a kind of the you've kind

384
00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:04,160
Speaker 1: of given us the um you know the reports seeing

385
00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:06,199
Speaker 1: him warm up before games, because you obviously been there.

386
00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:10,200
Speaker 1: He said he looks good. Playoffs are a tough time

387
00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:13,359
Speaker 1: to speed up, you know what I mean? So you

388
00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:16,800
Speaker 1: know I wonder what kind of impact he can actually make. Um,

389
00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:18,479
Speaker 1: but man, it's gonna be fun. It's gonna be fun

390
00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:20,760
Speaker 1: to watch. I mean, he was so explosive when he's

391
00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:22,440
Speaker 1: out there. So I hope for his sake and for

392
00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:25,119
Speaker 1: the Charger's sake that that uh, that is uh, that's

393
00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:27,080
Speaker 1: something that works out for them. I got a bonus

394
00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:32,560
Speaker 1: take when will Elway find the next Elway? Like when

395
00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:34,880
Speaker 1: when are we gonna get a quarterback that sticks around,

396
00:18:35,359 --> 00:18:37,360
Speaker 1: you know, whether whether it's draft or even a young

397
00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:39,320
Speaker 1: free agent maybe some somehow. I know they don't grow

398
00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:41,880
Speaker 1: on trees in free agency. But um, I mean, let's

399
00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:45,000
Speaker 1: let's look back here. Obviously not he went there when

400
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:47,560
Speaker 1: when they drafted Tim Tebow, But I mean, uh, we

401
00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:50,000
Speaker 1: go back to Brock Osweiler in the second round, Zack

402
00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:53,760
Speaker 1: Disert Um, I mean let me see, uh, and then

403
00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:57,840
Speaker 1: obviously Paxton Lynch in the first round, Chad Kelly seventh round,

404
00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:02,159
Speaker 1: Simeon Uh, you know he was a seventh rounder, Like

405
00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:05,800
Speaker 1: none of those guys are there anymore and hasn't been good.

406
00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:08,360
Speaker 1: And then obviously Case Keenum did not work out this year.

407
00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:10,280
Speaker 1: I think there's gonna be some veterans that are on

408
00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:15,000
Speaker 1: the market. I mean, we talked that we played QB matchmaker.

409
00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:17,240
Speaker 1: I know, I think that you're the first one that

410
00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:19,280
Speaker 1: said it. I think it does in terms of trying

411
00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:21,480
Speaker 1: to find somebody that mirrors the image of of l

412
00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:25,760
Speaker 1: White now fla but older Elway is still with plenty

413
00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:28,080
Speaker 1: of arms strength, can push the ball vertically down the field.

414
00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:30,280
Speaker 1: And the other thing that's interesting if you look at

415
00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:32,920
Speaker 1: Joe Flacco had some success when a guy named Gary

416
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:35,919
Speaker 1: Kubiak was calm plays for him. Somebody's there with that

417
00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:39,000
Speaker 1: organization that you would imagine would get a strong recommendation

418
00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:41,760
Speaker 1: to his buddy John Elway, who who knows if he

419
00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:43,680
Speaker 1: could convince his wife into it. It It sounds like that's

420
00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:45,199
Speaker 1: been kind of one of the issues. May it's not

421
00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:48,800
Speaker 1: ruled out as Broncos firing Vance Joseph today after two years.

422
00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:52,080
Speaker 1: And then John Elway was asked if Adam Gates was

423
00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:54,920
Speaker 1: going to be a candidate, Not right now. He was

424
00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:57,040
Speaker 1: asked if Mike Shanahan was going to be a candidate.

425
00:19:57,359 --> 00:20:00,280
Speaker 1: Not right now. He was asked about Gary Kubiak said,

426
00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:03,160
Speaker 1: Gary's gonna be with us, He's gonna be around. I'm

427
00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:05,800
Speaker 1: not sure in what role. So that kind of leaves

428
00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:07,800
Speaker 1: the door open to me, and I think that will

429
00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:09,760
Speaker 1: be speculated a lot about a lot. I don't know

430
00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:11,640
Speaker 1: that people have connected the dots to Flacco. I think

431
00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:13,480
Speaker 1: that's a very real thing. There we go, and I

432
00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:17,000
Speaker 1: am going to get a stick away number eight, third

433
00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:21,280
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator in four seasons coming up for Matt Ryan.

434
00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:25,800
Speaker 1: First and goal at the seventh play, fake to Hill

435
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:29,439
Speaker 1: out the back door, wide open Ridley, he will walk in.

436
00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:34,840
Speaker 1: I'm contested for the touchdown. Well, both Alabama receivers. Jones

437
00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:36,400
Speaker 1: is in the back of the endzone. There was nobody

438
00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:40,960
Speaker 1: with him either, and that's kind of worrisome. If I'm

439
00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:43,080
Speaker 1: dan Quinn, I get that you felt like you had

440
00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:45,000
Speaker 1: to make the move. But let's go back to year

441
00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:47,440
Speaker 1: one with Kyle Shanahan and Matt Ryan. I wasn't a

442
00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:51,160
Speaker 1: pretty picture. It was it was great, great, and then

443
00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:54,640
Speaker 1: it was over. And so see if Sarkisian first year

444
00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:57,439
Speaker 1: not great. They had some moments this year as stretched

445
00:20:57,440 --> 00:21:00,399
Speaker 1: where they were winning consecutive games. Calvin Ridley was rolling. Yeah,

446
00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:02,800
Speaker 1: I mean, and they've certainly got the pieces on offense,

447
00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:04,800
Speaker 1: although I highly doubt that Tevin Coleman is gonna be

448
00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:07,160
Speaker 1: back there next year with the money that he's gonna come.

449
00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:11,199
Speaker 1: Who's your talking on the podcast? That's what you get

450
00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:13,800
Speaker 1: with the PPUs around. Uh and and so it makes

451
00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:16,120
Speaker 1: me wonder then, you know, if it's if it takes

452
00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:18,120
Speaker 1: a year to get up to speed here, you know,

453
00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:21,040
Speaker 1: is dan Quinn going to be given that patience again?

454
00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:23,440
Speaker 1: You know, once you've kind of making the draft, taking

455
00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:27,640
Speaker 1: the drastics step to erase all of your coordinators, which

456
00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:29,639
Speaker 1: you did today as well. So, uh, that's something. And

457
00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:31,919
Speaker 1: that's this was a one of my disappointing teams as well,

458
00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:34,600
Speaker 1: because the Falcons had it all to put it together. Yeah,

459
00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:37,680
Speaker 1: and to meet defensive injuries earlier season, had a big

460
00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:39,200
Speaker 1: had a big deal there. But they're gonna, like you said,

461
00:21:39,240 --> 00:21:41,800
Speaker 1: all new coordinators offense, defense, and specialty in that game.

462
00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:43,560
Speaker 1: We're gonna a new coach for the Bucks next year.

463
00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:45,400
Speaker 1: That yeahhh, there you go. So a lot of change

464
00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:47,520
Speaker 1: over in that division, all right. Number nine on the list,

465
00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:52,360
Speaker 1: Ryan Tannehill along with Adam Gaze. I believe his days

466
00:21:52,359 --> 00:21:54,840
Speaker 1: in Miami are done. They run a reverse, You're gonna

467
00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:57,840
Speaker 1: throw a football it till falls down, but get to

468
00:21:57,920 --> 00:22:00,760
Speaker 1: the end. So touched out Miami. I just think it

469
00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:03,439
Speaker 1: right now for this Miami team, it's it's not a

470
00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:05,800
Speaker 1: clean slate because Chris Career is still gonna hang around.

471
00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:07,920
Speaker 1: And I'm actually happy for this move because I think

472
00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:10,040
Speaker 1: Chris is very well respected. I've known Chris for a

473
00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:12,359
Speaker 1: long time. He knows what good players look like. I

474
00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:14,600
Speaker 1: like the fact he's been empowered by this change that's

475
00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:17,119
Speaker 1: taken place. But they need, they need to add some

476
00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:19,480
Speaker 1: talent to this roster. And I think, again, I come

477
00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:21,000
Speaker 1: back to that same thing. I don't think. I don't

478
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:23,560
Speaker 1: see Ryan Tannehills a confettie quarterback. He's had some good moments,

479
00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:25,840
Speaker 1: he's won some big games, um, but I don't think

480
00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:28,399
Speaker 1: he's a championship level quarterback. And he can't stay health around.

481
00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:30,880
Speaker 1: So that's that's the other challenge. So I think it's

482
00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:33,400
Speaker 1: best for both parties if they just decide, let's let's

483
00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:36,240
Speaker 1: move on. And this might be a situation with Miami

484
00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:39,000
Speaker 1: where hey, this let's go all in on the rebuild

485
00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:40,760
Speaker 1: and maybe this thing has to get worse before it

486
00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:43,560
Speaker 1: gets better, maybe has to bottom all the way out. UM.

487
00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:46,800
Speaker 1: I prefer that. I know in baseball, in basketball that's

488
00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:49,080
Speaker 1: talked about a lot in football. People thought maybe the

489
00:22:49,119 --> 00:22:51,520
Speaker 1: Raiders went that route this year. I don't know that

490
00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:53,760
Speaker 1: the Dolphins. We have that many assets to sell off.

491
00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:57,600
Speaker 1: But when I try and find blue chip players, you know, gosh,

492
00:22:57,720 --> 00:22:59,840
Speaker 1: the left tackle is outstanding. Tunsil had a great year.

493
00:22:59,840 --> 00:23:01,560
Speaker 1: You can robbed in the Pro Bowl. Should have been

494
00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:03,560
Speaker 1: a Pro bowler. Make if Fitzpatrick's going to be a study.

495
00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:06,320
Speaker 1: Davin Howard is a big time corner one healthy out there.

496
00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:08,760
Speaker 1: Outside of those three guys, there's not I mean, Kenyan

497
00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:11,280
Speaker 1: Drake's a good player, but there's nobody offensively on that

498
00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:13,000
Speaker 1: group where you're like, well, you gotta worry about this guy.

499
00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:16,120
Speaker 1: Have a game plan to stop this player. I don't

500
00:23:16,119 --> 00:23:18,639
Speaker 1: know who that is. Yeah, I'm with you on that.

501
00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:20,760
Speaker 1: And when you're starting quarterback and this is twenty five

502
00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:24,879
Speaker 1: games in forty nine, possible that Adam Gates has been

503
00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:27,640
Speaker 1: there with the Dolphins like that's look, it's not gonna

504
00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:31,320
Speaker 1: happen now. And Tannehill in terms of where he lands,

505
00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:34,919
Speaker 1: I think Washington similar to Alex Smith. I think he

506
00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:37,119
Speaker 1: fits that scheme with Gruden. I think that makes some

507
00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:41,439
Speaker 1: sense there. That's that's my What's what's the final one?

508
00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:46,200
Speaker 1: You got for all the Raiders. Provide get right game

509
00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:51,960
Speaker 1: for the Chiefs. First intense Chiefs at the raid and

510
00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:55,560
Speaker 1: off set sleep left, Tyreek Hill block right front ten

511
00:23:55,960 --> 00:24:01,479
Speaker 1: five touchdown, Cheetah touchdown. Chance said it, and there Chiefs

512
00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:04,840
Speaker 1: have hammer down the door here and take a thirty

513
00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:08,399
Speaker 1: four to three lead on a fifteen yere chet sweep

514
00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:14,200
Speaker 1: by Tyreek Hill. A question mark at the end was,

515
00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:16,240
Speaker 1: first of all, you were Raiders thought you're gonna go, Mayak,

516
00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:21,840
Speaker 1: you didn't go. This was in before officially, and so

517
00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:25,080
Speaker 1: let's do that without further ado. Big time congratulations to

518
00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:28,679
Speaker 1: our guy Mike Mayok being general manager of the Raiders. Um,

519
00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:30,840
Speaker 1: he wouldn't tell us who he's taking number four overall,

520
00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:32,680
Speaker 1: I was really upset about that. He wouldn'tell us where

521
00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:34,480
Speaker 1: they're playing next year. It's kind of upset about it.

522
00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:36,920
Speaker 1: He's not dodging all the questions already. Yeah, I'm not

523
00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:39,000
Speaker 1: messed up. Yeah, you know, he just you know, it's

524
00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:41,879
Speaker 1: the typical man. You know. By by the way, I

525
00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:43,399
Speaker 1: want to tell this one story real quick because I

526
00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:45,920
Speaker 1: think a lot of people, um, you know, they see

527
00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:50,960
Speaker 1: Mike on TV, and Mike's got strong conviction and Mike's opinionated. UM,

528
00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:53,560
Speaker 1: but people always at what what's Mayak like behind the scenes?

529
00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:56,719
Speaker 1: Tell you what to me personally? He's been. He's been

530
00:24:56,760 --> 00:24:58,280
Speaker 1: a great friend. I know, Whet you can talk about

531
00:24:58,320 --> 00:24:59,879
Speaker 1: him forever. You've known him, probably even longer than I

532
00:24:59,880 --> 00:25:02,280
Speaker 1: have have. UM. But when I got this job, I'll

533
00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:03,560
Speaker 1: tell you just one quick story, tell you a a little

534
00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:07,159
Speaker 1: bit about Mike Mayock. It was I think my second year, UM,

535
00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:09,199
Speaker 1: and I was doing I had done sidelines at these

536
00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:11,000
Speaker 1: All Star Games. So I've been, you know, doing path

537
00:25:11,040 --> 00:25:13,280
Speaker 1: the draft, I've been on the draft coverage, UM. But

538
00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:15,200
Speaker 1: at the All Star Games, I was doing the sidelines

539
00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:18,600
Speaker 1: and unfortunately Charles Davis had something come up where he

540
00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:20,879
Speaker 1: couldn't go to the East West game. And honestly I

541
00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:23,840
Speaker 1: might if it was a family issue, health issue, some reason,

542
00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:26,320
Speaker 1: but Charles couldn't make it. So we're in the production

543
00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:29,320
Speaker 1: meeting and the night before the game and they say,

544
00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:31,760
Speaker 1: all right, you know, so we'll have Mike and Andrew

545
00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:34,000
Speaker 1: up in the booth, DJU, you and Alex Flann are

546
00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:36,439
Speaker 1: gonna be on the one on each sideline, and Mike stopped.

547
00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:38,880
Speaker 1: The meeting goes, hold up, if Charles isn't gonna be here.

548
00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:41,200
Speaker 1: Why don't we put DJ up in the booth. He's

549
00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:43,240
Speaker 1: watched these guys, he knows these guys. What do we

550
00:25:43,359 --> 00:25:45,119
Speaker 1: were wasting him down? Let's bring him up to the booth.

551
00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:48,240
Speaker 1: Our producer said, Okay, Mike, if that's what you want

552
00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:50,520
Speaker 1: to do, that's what we'll do. And so that got

553
00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:52,000
Speaker 1: me an opportunity to get up in the booth for

554
00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:53,600
Speaker 1: that All Star game. And then since then I've been

555
00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:55,119
Speaker 1: able to be up in the booth for those uh

556
00:25:55,240 --> 00:25:57,720
Speaker 1: for those games, and uh, that's something I I was

557
00:25:57,760 --> 00:25:58,960
Speaker 1: all at out of time him this all the time.

558
00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:00,920
Speaker 1: I really appreciate you go into bat for me and and

559
00:26:01,040 --> 00:26:02,959
Speaker 1: he's he's just a good dude and I wish him

560
00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:05,520
Speaker 1: the best. Sara in Oakland agree with you. He is

561
00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:09,200
Speaker 1: a He is a guy who is not shy about

562
00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:11,879
Speaker 1: trying to pump other guys up. And obviously that's a

563
00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:13,880
Speaker 1: great story. He did the same for me. I'd ask

564
00:26:13,960 --> 00:26:15,679
Speaker 1: him when I before I worked at the NFL network.

565
00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:17,280
Speaker 1: I was like, hey, you know what I have to

566
00:26:17,320 --> 00:26:18,720
Speaker 1: do to get over there? You know, how do I?

567
00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:21,320
Speaker 1: How do I? He would always give me the advice

568
00:26:21,359 --> 00:26:23,200
Speaker 1: and he say, anything you ever need for me, let

569
00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:25,439
Speaker 1: me know. Anybody want me to talk to, let me know.

570
00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:29,560
Speaker 1: And so I'll always appreciate what's your what's your tay

571
00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:32,040
Speaker 1: here on the Chiefs. So here we go. It was

572
00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:34,760
Speaker 1: this in fact, to get right game for the Chiefs.

573
00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:37,000
Speaker 1: They look good. They did look good. They lost too

574
00:26:37,040 --> 00:26:38,399
Speaker 1: in a row coming in and they had the a

575
00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:40,040
Speaker 1: f C West on the line, number one seat on

576
00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:44,440
Speaker 1: the line, so they looked like the Chiefs, especially on offense.

577
00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:47,320
Speaker 1: You know, we saw the explosive plays. Patrick Mahomes gets

578
00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:49,800
Speaker 1: his fifty touchdowns on the season, and all kind of

579
00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:53,600
Speaker 1: feels right with the Chiefs. Does that mean that they're

580
00:26:53,600 --> 00:26:55,439
Speaker 1: going to get out of the first game, get out

581
00:26:55,440 --> 00:26:58,359
Speaker 1: of the divisional? Some tough matchups looming on the horizon there,

582
00:26:58,680 --> 00:27:00,280
Speaker 1: I'm telling you. I mean, really, when you look at

583
00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:01,720
Speaker 1: any of those four teams, you look at the four

584
00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:03,639
Speaker 1: teams in the a f C playing on wild card weekend,

585
00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:06,359
Speaker 1: and the Chiefs, I mean, obviously they're gonna be at home.

586
00:27:06,359 --> 00:27:08,000
Speaker 1: That's a tough place to go in. But we saw

587
00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:10,160
Speaker 1: the Ravens go in there, had a real good chance

588
00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:11,919
Speaker 1: to beat them. The Chargers went in there and beat him.

589
00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:14,639
Speaker 1: And then now you're looking at Andrew Luck and Deshaun Watson.

590
00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:16,080
Speaker 1: You think they're not capable of going on there and

591
00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:18,520
Speaker 1: giving them a run. I mean, that's it's the a FCS.

592
00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:20,440
Speaker 1: It's gonna be fun, man. I really can make a

593
00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:22,119
Speaker 1: kise for any of the six teams could go all

594
00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:24,159
Speaker 1: the way through the Super Bowl. Yeah, I'm with you

595
00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:26,280
Speaker 1: on that. And uh you know if the Ravens is

596
00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:28,480
Speaker 1: the four seed, if both the three and the four

597
00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:30,960
Speaker 1: seed end up winning and the Ravens go back to

598
00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:33,600
Speaker 1: Kansas City, and that would that would be something right

599
00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:36,360
Speaker 1: now about that? No, it's it's this postseason. I don't

600
00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:39,040
Speaker 1: know that I've ever been more excited for NFL posted.

601
00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:43,600
Speaker 1: It's wide open, no question. I can't wait. Well, thank you,

602
00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:47,080
Speaker 1: uh PU the best in the business right there. Bucky

603
00:27:47,119 --> 00:27:49,159
Speaker 1: out doing some real scouting there on the road with

604
00:27:49,280 --> 00:27:51,199
Speaker 1: the bull Games. So Buck will be back soon and

605
00:27:51,200 --> 00:27:54,239
Speaker 1: we'll jump back in. I'm actually gonna be out here.

606
00:27:54,280 --> 00:27:56,199
Speaker 1: I think you might be filling in for me. Is
