Speaker 1: here Monday night. Just wasted the last three hours watching

4
00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:23,800
Speaker 1: the Monday night football game. Might have sprinkled a couple

5
00:00:23,880 --> 00:00:26,119
Speaker 1: hundred dollars on the Bears money line that did not

6
00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:31,840
Speaker 1: go well. I have I I have a recommendation. Do

7
00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:34,560
Speaker 1: not gamble on the Bears. I promise you it will

8
00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:36,600
Speaker 1: not go well. Have a couple of times this year

9
00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:41,000
Speaker 1: lost money, Do not do it. Just words of wisdom

10
00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:43,639
Speaker 1: from this guy who's lost some cash. We'll dive into

11
00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:45,800
Speaker 1: the Monday night football game off the top. I have

12
00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:47,520
Speaker 1: a lot of things I'm pretty excited to talk about

00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:52,600
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz, some thoughts on Jamis Winston, the Miami Dolphins,

00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 1: uh and yeah, but let's dive into money night football.

27
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:31,440
Speaker 1: One thing is clear in two thousand twenty. I I

28
00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:33,280
Speaker 1: say it all the time, like, if you're in business

29
00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:37,720
Speaker 1: and you don't have an online presence, you're losing. You

30
00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:41,480
Speaker 1: could have a lawnmower business. If you're not on Facebook

31
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:44,880
Speaker 1: and Instagram marketing that thing you're you're just you're behind

32
00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:47,360
Speaker 1: the curve that. There's just no doubt about it. Let alone.

33
00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:49,680
Speaker 1: If you do what I do, you have to be online.

34
00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:52,080
Speaker 1: You don't have a choice. I don't love being on

35
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:55,520
Speaker 1: social media all the time, and really I've pulled back,

36
00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:58,120
Speaker 1: but I still have to be active. It's just part

37
00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:01,600
Speaker 1: of the gig. It's part of away the consumer consumes,

38
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:05,080
Speaker 1: you know, and it helps me grow my business, just

39
00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:07,200
Speaker 1: part of the I say it the best part about America.

40
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:09,799
Speaker 1: No matter what you do, you could, like I said,

41
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:12,040
Speaker 1: you could be a landscaper. You can start from nothing,

42
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:14,720
Speaker 1: have zero clients if you get involved. There's never been

43
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:16,880
Speaker 1: an easier time to grow a business. It's just the Internet.

44
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:19,600
Speaker 1: I mean it's it's it's great, but you've gotta have

45
00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:21,800
Speaker 1: a presence on the Internet no matter what you do.

46
00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:24,600
Speaker 1: And football is the same thing. You have to have

47
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:27,080
Speaker 1: a quarterback. You have to You don't have to have

48
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:29,040
Speaker 1: a great defense. You don't even have to have a

49
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:33,520
Speaker 1: great offensive line. We saw for years Seattle awful offensive line.

50
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:37,040
Speaker 1: They had Russell Wilson earlier in the decade. Roethlisberger I

51
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:39,160
Speaker 1: vividly remember when I first got to the NFL. His

52
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:42,040
Speaker 1: offensive line was terrible. He was getting sacked all the time.

53
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:44,680
Speaker 1: It didn't matter. He was elite. He dominated. They dominated.

54
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:48,120
Speaker 1: You can get away with having a bad offensive line.

55
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:51,560
Speaker 1: The Bears and the Minnesota Vikings offensive line is not great,

56
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:55,840
Speaker 1: but the Bears offensive line is putrid. Their biggest problem

57
00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:58,639
Speaker 1: is their quarterback. They haven't been able to find a

58
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:01,359
Speaker 1: quarterback basically in my entire life. They had a couple

59
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:05,520
Speaker 1: of moments with Cutler, but really not really right now,

60
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:09,040
Speaker 1: Nick Foles knock on wood, He's okay, look like he

61
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:10,560
Speaker 1: had a bad back injury at the end of the

62
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:14,480
Speaker 1: game he got carded off. But before that, he's a

63
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:17,959
Speaker 1: bad football player. He had incredible moments a couple of

64
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:20,639
Speaker 1: years ago when he won the Super Bowl and then

65
00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:22,600
Speaker 1: the following year when Carson Wentz got hurt and he

66
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:27,080
Speaker 1: won a playoff game ironically at Soldier Field. He's terrible.

67
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:30,720
Speaker 1: He is not any good For all of us that

68
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:34,280
Speaker 1: watch basically all the games all weekend, He's easily one

69
00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:37,840
Speaker 1: of the worst quarterbacks in the league. He can't move,

70
00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:42,920
Speaker 1: he does not throw darts. All of his balls are loopy.

71
00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:46,160
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins, who I have been critical of for throughout

72
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:49,800
Speaker 1: the years, bad athlete, can't make anything out of nothing.

73
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:54,360
Speaker 1: His arm looks like Jay Cutler compared to Nick Foles

74
00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:57,040
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins. You know what the Bears would do for

75
00:03:57,160 --> 00:04:00,200
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins and Kirk Cousins is his average as the

76
00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:03,480
Speaker 1: day is long, They would die to have Kirk Cousins.

77
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:07,320
Speaker 1: Now listen, Nowadie's my guy. I've known him for a

78
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:10,400
Speaker 1: long time. I'm rooting for the Bears and my bias

79
00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:13,240
Speaker 1: on this one, Yes a little bit. Can I admit

80
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:16,680
Speaker 1: his offense is unwatchable? Yes I can, But he gave

81
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:19,760
Speaker 1: up play calling tonight. He literally let someone else call

82
00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:25,080
Speaker 1: the place. Nothing changed. You know why, because Bill Walsh

83
00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:29,119
Speaker 1: or Andy Reid could call plays with these quarter with

84
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:32,040
Speaker 1: with Nick Foles and with that offensive line, but mainly

85
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:35,839
Speaker 1: Nick Foles. It would not matter. This is not the

86
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:38,919
Speaker 1: Nick Foles that Doug Peterson won the Super Bowl with.

87
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:43,320
Speaker 1: Nobody let me repeat, nobody could win with this because

88
00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:45,320
Speaker 1: clearly the Bears have one of the best defenses in

89
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:48,640
Speaker 1: the league. They have excellent special teams. I mean, Cordurell Patterson,

90
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:52,600
Speaker 1: dude's a beast. But you just watch on the same field.

91
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:55,320
Speaker 1: Like one thing quarterbacks, And I've heard Aaron Rodgers say

92
00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:58,560
Speaker 1: this before, what a dumbask question it is? And and

93
00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:02,240
Speaker 1: it's He's right when the media says, like when you know,

94
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:05,520
Speaker 1: when Tampa's playing Green Bay and they go, Aaron, what's

95
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:07,400
Speaker 1: it like to play Tom Brady? And Aaron's like, I

96
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:10,200
Speaker 1: don't fucking play Tom Brady. I play quarterback. He plays quarterback.

97
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:14,200
Speaker 1: We're never on the field at the same time. But

98
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:17,800
Speaker 1: one thing you can do when a team plays another team,

99
00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:21,200
Speaker 1: when Kyler Murray plays Josh Allen, you see the ebb

100
00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:23,200
Speaker 1: and flow of the two guys, So you get to

101
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:25,960
Speaker 1: kind of rate them off each other, how they look,

102
00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:29,039
Speaker 1: who's better than the other guy. They don't play each other,

103
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:31,720
Speaker 1: but when they play on the same field, it's just

104
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:35,680
Speaker 1: the ebb and flow of the two talents. That's that's

105
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:38,280
Speaker 1: part of the evaluating the quarterback. And you just watch

106
00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:42,039
Speaker 1: tonight again, Cousins is averages. The day is long unless

107
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:44,039
Speaker 1: you're Kyle Shanahan and you have a secret man crush

108
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:45,360
Speaker 1: on him and you want her to be the quarterback

109
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:47,599
Speaker 1: of the forty nine. Thank god Minnesota keeps winning and

110
00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:51,920
Speaker 1: he won't be the quarterback one. But compared to Nick Foles,

111
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:55,000
Speaker 1: it's not close. He has a better arm, he's a

112
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:59,719
Speaker 1: more accurate passer. False stinks and as we know in

113
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:00,960
Speaker 1: the end of fell and I'm seeing it with the

114
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:04,160
Speaker 1: Niners right now, when you play with shitty quarterbacks, and

115
00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:08,240
Speaker 1: that's what Nick Mullins is, you lose. You just lose.

116
00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:11,080
Speaker 1: Even if your defense is okay, even if you have

117
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:16,400
Speaker 1: some good offensive skill. Guys, it does not matter. It's

118
00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:19,440
Speaker 1: the ultimate. I mean, it's it's never been more important.

119
00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:21,560
Speaker 1: When I was growing up in the nineties, even though

120
00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:23,200
Speaker 1: I would say most of the good teams had like

121
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:25,760
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame quarterbacks. But you get by with elite

122
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:27,680
Speaker 1: run game and a great defense. You can't do that.

123
00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:31,279
Speaker 1: Now scoring is too important. You have to move the

124
00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:34,400
Speaker 1: ball down the field. It's a passing it's a passing

125
00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:39,160
Speaker 1: oriented at league. Now the rules are there. The wide receivers,

126
00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:41,920
Speaker 1: you can't hit him. Hell, the Bears have talent at

127
00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:44,240
Speaker 1: wide receiver. They draft a second round tight end. The

128
00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:46,720
Speaker 1: kid from Notre Dame. Jimmy Graham's made plays this year.

129
00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:50,000
Speaker 1: Allen Robinson's just stud Miller in theory should be decent

130
00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:53,400
Speaker 1: and it doesn't matter. Falls can't hit waterfew sitting in

131
00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:56,080
Speaker 1: a boat. Again, I'm not trying to beat up on

132
00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:58,560
Speaker 1: the guy. He's I know people that know him. I

133
00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:01,120
Speaker 1: think he's a great guy. I mean, I've heard his

134
00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:05,440
Speaker 1: character is like Tim Tebow level. He's an elite character guy.

135
00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:09,280
Speaker 1: But in the NFL, when the game starts, character and

136
00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:11,480
Speaker 1: all that chickens thrown out the window. You're either good

137
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:13,720
Speaker 1: enough you're not. And I saw this thing that went

138
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:18,160
Speaker 1: viral this weekend about Urban Meyer talking about like he

139
00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:20,200
Speaker 1: hates it when coaches say this guy is not good

140
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:23,239
Speaker 1: enough and and he says like, especially in the NFL,

141
00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:25,320
Speaker 1: and I and I I kind of wanted to be

142
00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:28,280
Speaker 1: like Urban, I'm gonna disagree with you. I worked in

143
00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:30,960
Speaker 1: the NFL. In your perspective, when you're at Ohio State

144
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:34,280
Speaker 1: and you're at Florida, you have the best players every

145
00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:37,160
Speaker 1: game you play in, unless you're playing the other best

146
00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:40,080
Speaker 1: team in the country. Every player at every position is

147
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:43,280
Speaker 1: better than the other guy. In the NFL, that's not

148
00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:48,760
Speaker 1: the case. There are massive talent discrepancies in theory. Is

149
00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:51,880
Speaker 1: everyone a pro on the field, for sure, but as

150
00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:56,080
Speaker 1: the talent gap between Nick Foles and when they play

151
00:07:56,120 --> 00:08:00,640
Speaker 1: the Packers or the Detroit Lions at quarterback a mile wide. Hell, yes,

152
00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:03,360
Speaker 1: you saw it the night and they were playing Kirk Cousins.

153
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:08,200
Speaker 1: The talent gap in the NFL and the pro leagues

154
00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:10,800
Speaker 1: is big. You don't get an unlimited amount of first

155
00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:13,880
Speaker 1: round picks, and the Bears to get Khalil Mack sold

156
00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:16,840
Speaker 1: a couple of first round picks, and Ryan Pace hasn't

157
00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:20,440
Speaker 1: done a good job of getting offensive lineman and Naggie

158
00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:22,720
Speaker 1: or whoever hand picked Nick Foles to come because they

159
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:25,320
Speaker 1: knew him, and I get it. The options were limited.

160
00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:27,360
Speaker 1: I would have got a different direction, but I get it.

161
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:31,480
Speaker 1: He knows the offense. It's irrelevant now because they have

162
00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:34,640
Speaker 1: Nick Foles and he's terrible. Now. I don't know what

163
00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:36,520
Speaker 1: his injury is gonna be. Maybe he doesn't come back

164
00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:39,400
Speaker 1: the rest of the season. But I think Mr Bisky

165
00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:41,760
Speaker 1: is really bad too. I would just take Mr. Bisky

166
00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:44,120
Speaker 1: is better than this version of Nick Foles. You can't

167
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:47,520
Speaker 1: function with this version of Nick Foles. It shows you

168
00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:49,840
Speaker 1: why the Vikings have got back on track. They have

169
00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:52,360
Speaker 1: an identity on offense, obviously with a great running back

170
00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:56,360
Speaker 1: in Dalvin Cook. But Cousins can make plays. They might

171
00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:59,600
Speaker 1: be some basic place, but he can make Legit throws

172
00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:03,120
Speaker 1: twenty yard rope over the middle, a nice out route.

173
00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:05,040
Speaker 1: I don't know. He can just do this thing called

174
00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:09,680
Speaker 1: move the change get first downs. The Bears are just

175
00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:11,360
Speaker 1: three and out, three and out, three and out, three

176
00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:13,600
Speaker 1: and out, three and out, three and out. It's just

177
00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:18,319
Speaker 1: it's it's not possible to play football when your quarterback

178
00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:22,920
Speaker 1: is god awful. It's just it's just not possible. That

179
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:24,840
Speaker 1: And and look at the Bears, Like if I put

180
00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:27,840
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers on the Bears there, I guess what's their

181
00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:33,240
Speaker 1: record now? Five and five? What are they? Eight and two?

182
00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:36,120
Speaker 1: I mean they dominate, and their offensive line would still

183
00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:38,559
Speaker 1: be just as crappy, but they have good wide receivers,

184
00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:43,520
Speaker 1: their defense, and their special teams. So I just you

185
00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:45,719
Speaker 1: can say Matt Naggy sucks, but we saw another guy

186
00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:48,320
Speaker 1: calling plays to night and nothing, if anything, they got worse,

187
00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:51,599
Speaker 1: like their their offense was dramatically worse. They had a

188
00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:55,200
Speaker 1: hundred thirty yards of offense first coming into the game.

189
00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:57,320
Speaker 1: I would say for most of the season has been

190
00:09:57,320 --> 00:09:59,679
Speaker 1: one of the worst defense in the league, especially one

191
00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:01,400
Speaker 1: of the war is passing defense in the league, the

192
00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:07,480
Speaker 1: Minnesota Vikings. Mike Zimmer, uh you know, destroyed them tonight.

193
00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:11,440
Speaker 1: Mike Zimmer has been running a gap blitzes. I'm not

194
00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:15,640
Speaker 1: Bill Parcels here, but his scheme hasn't changed. So when

195
00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:19,280
Speaker 1: he's running the a gap blitz, run a slant. You

196
00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:22,600
Speaker 1: know why because if if you watch the Queen's Gambit,

197
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:25,000
Speaker 1: you know where they the chess game where you put

198
00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:27,760
Speaker 1: pieces there and a piece here. There's no one over

199
00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:29,720
Speaker 1: the middle of the field. So if we took the

200
00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:33,440
Speaker 1: little chess pieces, when he blitzes both linebackers up the gut,

201
00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:36,480
Speaker 1: what does that mean? The middle of the fields wide open?

202
00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:38,520
Speaker 1: What's a route to get to the middle of the field.

203
00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:41,480
Speaker 1: I don't know, a quick slant, run, a crossing route,

204
00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:43,200
Speaker 1: do something, get a guy over the middle of the field.

205
00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:47,240
Speaker 1: I'm screaming at my TV, like, this isn't rocket scientists,

206
00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:50,640
Speaker 1: this isn't Obviously I'm not a rocket scientist. This isn't

207
00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:55,800
Speaker 1: rocket science. Just an embarrassing effort, and I I don't

208
00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:59,760
Speaker 1: we can keep blaming the coaches, but eventually in the

209
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:03,160
Speaker 1: rows in college, you're Ohiose State, you're at Alabama, you

210
00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:05,720
Speaker 1: can blame the coach. You're getting five star Guys's the NFL,

211
00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:08,880
Speaker 1: they're a big difference between every player. There's a big

212
00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:12,440
Speaker 1: difference between DeAndre Hopkins and I don't know, the starting

213
00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:17,560
Speaker 1: wide receiver for the Houston Texans or DK Metcalf and

214
00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:20,920
Speaker 1: you know, some random dude on the New York Giants.

215
00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:23,480
Speaker 1: There just this It's like there's a big difference right

216
00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:27,240
Speaker 1: now between this version Nick Foles and basically every other

217
00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:31,640
Speaker 1: quarterback in the league. Okay, let's there's so much going on.

218
00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:35,280
Speaker 1: Let's just try to start somewhere. And Carson Wentz in

219
00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:39,720
Speaker 1: the Philadelphia Eagles and just the entire situation around the

220
00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:43,640
Speaker 1: franchise when it comes to their highest paid asset in

221
00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:47,480
Speaker 1: franchise history. When you also factor in what they invested

222
00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:50,360
Speaker 1: in to get them right, They traded several picks to

223
00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:53,880
Speaker 1: move up in the draft. They have never spent more

224
00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:57,520
Speaker 1: money and allocated more resources to get an individual player

225
00:11:57,520 --> 00:12:00,400
Speaker 1: and build around an individual player. And I tried to

226
00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:03,280
Speaker 1: put my owner hat on. If I owned the Eagles

227
00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:05,680
Speaker 1: like Jeffrey Lurie, what would I be thinking right now?

228
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:09,000
Speaker 1: And the reality is just the way the cookie crumble.

229
00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:17,360
Speaker 1: Sometimes things don't work out for whatever reason, right timing, uh, money,

230
00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:24,560
Speaker 1: sometimes egos, personalities, whatever, people don't mesh. And when you

231
00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:29,160
Speaker 1: are the most expensive asset in any business, and hell,

232
00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:31,760
Speaker 1: you could call Carson somewhat of a liability. And I've

233
00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:35,199
Speaker 1: supported him. I've said over and over the majority of

234
00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:36,600
Speaker 1: the teams in the league would be lined up to

235
00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:39,760
Speaker 1: get him. I believe that's true. Now I can also say,

236
00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:43,959
Speaker 1: independent of that, he's been a disaster. Last night on

237
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:46,559
Speaker 1: Sunday night, before I went to bed, I threw it

238
00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:48,600
Speaker 1: up on my iPad and just watched. I didn't watch

239
00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:50,720
Speaker 1: the game live because watching the Masters, I wasn't gonna

240
00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:53,400
Speaker 1: watch Eagles Giants over Dustin Johnson, especially when I little

241
00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:56,960
Speaker 1: cash on him. Thank you, Dustin, and I watched the

242
00:12:56,960 --> 00:12:59,800
Speaker 1: game back just like it looks bad now. Their defense

243
00:12:59,880 --> 00:13:02,720
Speaker 1: is terrible. They have a lot of injuries. But Carson

244
00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:05,240
Speaker 1: Wentz is not working out. And if you put your

245
00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:07,640
Speaker 1: owner hat on, if you own a business and the

246
00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:12,319
Speaker 1: thing you invest the most in, right, whatever that is.

247
00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:15,520
Speaker 1: If you own a brewery and it's all the machines

248
00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:17,400
Speaker 1: that make the beer and they're not working, and that's

249
00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:21,680
Speaker 1: whatever you've spent the most off. If you own, uh,

250
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:25,720
Speaker 1: just any company, whatever you spend the most on in

251
00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:29,400
Speaker 1: that company, if that doesn't work out for you, you

252
00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:33,280
Speaker 1: have a problem. It's no different in pro sports, right

253
00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:35,439
Speaker 1: We see it in baseball when you buy a guy

254
00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:38,360
Speaker 1: three million dollars, that guy's got to be elite. We

255
00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:40,640
Speaker 1: see it in the NBA if you max out a

256
00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:43,840
Speaker 1: player and that guy is not a max player. We

257
00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:49,760
Speaker 1: have issues in football for the most part, it's just quarterbacks. Now,

258
00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:53,360
Speaker 1: you can overpay other players, but it usually doesn't cripple

259
00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:56,440
Speaker 1: your team. But when you overpay or pay a lot

260
00:13:56,480 --> 00:13:59,880
Speaker 1: to a quarterback, and listen, we can argue all day long.

261
00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:02,320
Speaker 1: They took care of Carson Wentz before he had actually

262
00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:05,080
Speaker 1: done anything. I had no problem with it because they

263
00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:07,440
Speaker 1: bet on him getting better, and they bet on the

264
00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:09,920
Speaker 1: market continuing to go up. This was before Corona, and

265
00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:11,679
Speaker 1: they go, you know, in a cup five years that

266
00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:13,360
Speaker 1: number is gonna be fifty. We'll have our guy on

267
00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:17,199
Speaker 1: a cheap contract. Corona hits. The Eagles then come together

268
00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:19,840
Speaker 1: and the season happens and they look terrible. And if

269
00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:23,320
Speaker 1: I'm Jeffrey Leurie right now, I'm asking myself, this is

270
00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:27,000
Speaker 1: not working out. And the one thing, over the history

271
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:29,800
Speaker 1: of time we've learned it's usually not the player's fault

272
00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:32,040
Speaker 1: when they're the highest paid player on the team, not

273
00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:35,680
Speaker 1: because it actually isn't their fault. But you you can't

274
00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:39,240
Speaker 1: cut that guy. You're not gonna trade Carson Wentz too

275
00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:43,120
Speaker 1: much dead cap, it makes no financial sense. So the

276
00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:45,840
Speaker 1: one thing I think you're asking yourself is are him

277
00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:49,080
Speaker 1: and Doug Peterson? Is this working out? And if you

278
00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:50,760
Speaker 1: take a step back, you'd be like Middle Coop. They

279
00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:53,040
Speaker 1: made the playoffs three years arow and listen, I like Doug,

280
00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:55,760
Speaker 1: and this is I don't have any inside information. I

281
00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:58,000
Speaker 1: haven't talked to any of these guys with the Eagles

282
00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:00,240
Speaker 1: all year long. I don't. I don't usually met with

283
00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:01,800
Speaker 1: people I know in the league when ship's hitting the

284
00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:05,640
Speaker 1: fan and I just and listen. I don't know Jeffrey Lury,

285
00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:07,720
Speaker 1: so I couldn't even ask him if I wanted to.

286
00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:12,040
Speaker 1: But it crossed my mind. Could Doug Peterson be in trouble?

287
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:16,040
Speaker 1: And most people I think around football would say that's insane.

288
00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:17,360
Speaker 1: He won the Super Bowl a couple of years ago

289
00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:19,560
Speaker 1: for the first time in franchise history. He made the

290
00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:22,000
Speaker 1: playoffs the following year, and then one a road game,

291
00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:24,840
Speaker 1: and then he even made the playoffs last year. And

292
00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:26,760
Speaker 1: if I put my owner hat on, which I think

293
00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:29,080
Speaker 1: you have to do in these conversations, right, this is

294
00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:30,440
Speaker 1: how we have to talk about it. This is a

295
00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:33,160
Speaker 1: big business, billion dollar business. You're paying this guy a

296
00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:36,640
Speaker 1: hundred fifty million dollars and you're paying a coach probably

297
00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:39,440
Speaker 1: even if Doug's making pretty good cash, probably buy him

298
00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:43,160
Speaker 1: out for thirty. So you know you're probably gonna tend

299
00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:45,480
Speaker 1: to lean with the dude making one fifty. We gotta

300
00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:47,880
Speaker 1: fix that. And right now, the head coach, who is

301
00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:51,320
Speaker 1: a quarterback guy and the offensive play caller can't fix

302
00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:53,880
Speaker 1: him because he keeps getting worse. So I have to

303
00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:56,000
Speaker 1: ask myself is he the right guy moving forward? And

304
00:15:56,040 --> 00:15:58,360
Speaker 1: if I look back at two years ago, well, we

305
00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:00,760
Speaker 1: won a playoff game, but part of that was because

306
00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:03,440
Speaker 1: Carson got injured. He wasn't playing well. Foles came in

307
00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:05,600
Speaker 1: at the end of the season and it took a

308
00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:09,320
Speaker 1: missfield goal off the uprights. And last year we made

309
00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:12,360
Speaker 1: the playoffs. A big reason we made the playoffs is

310
00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:15,720
Speaker 1: our division was so shitty. We were not a quote

311
00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:18,720
Speaker 1: unquote playoff team. In any other division, we wouldn't even

312
00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:22,040
Speaker 1: have been close. We want all those games at the

313
00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:25,040
Speaker 1: end of the season against that bad division, played Washington

314
00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:28,560
Speaker 1: and played New York obviously beat the Cowboys, stink. Those

315
00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:30,160
Speaker 1: are the teams we beat to get in the playoffs.

316
00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:33,840
Speaker 1: I think you can have the conversation while you still

317
00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:36,600
Speaker 1: have Carson Wentz young and is he fixable. I don't know.

318
00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:38,880
Speaker 1: Maybe he's not, and maybe I'm just wrong. He's never

319
00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:41,200
Speaker 1: gonna be a good player, and that there's a chance.

320
00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:43,200
Speaker 1: I still believe in the guy, and I still am

321
00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:46,400
Speaker 1: adamant the teams would be more than interested. The Niners

322
00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:49,560
Speaker 1: would take him yesterday. Does he have issues? Of course

323
00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:52,120
Speaker 1: he does, but that's why the guy Kyle Shanahan's, the

324
00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:54,960
Speaker 1: Sean mcveigh's, the Sean Payton's, the Andy Reid's, those type

325
00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:57,400
Speaker 1: guys the way they think the arians. I want to

326
00:16:57,440 --> 00:16:59,880
Speaker 1: make that better. And right now Doug Peterson, for what

327
00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:04,320
Speaker 1: ever reason, can't fix it at all. It's getting worse.

328
00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:08,280
Speaker 1: I watched that game in my bed last night for

329
00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:10,679
Speaker 1: two nights ago. I guess it was last night if

330
00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:12,920
Speaker 1: you're listening, this was two nights ago, and I thought

331
00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:15,600
Speaker 1: they kind of got worked, like they got pushed around.

332
00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:17,920
Speaker 1: I've been saying over and over the Giants are good.

333
00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:20,399
Speaker 1: And I think I saw someone on Twitter maybe they

334
00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:22,720
Speaker 1: said this. On the broadcast, Dave Gettleman was telling the

335
00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:25,440
Speaker 1: broadcasters that people around the league were telling him that

336
00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:27,160
Speaker 1: they were the best to in seven team that we've

337
00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:29,960
Speaker 1: ever seen. And it's like Dave, I wouldn't necessarily be

338
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:32,560
Speaker 1: bragging about that, but I do think he has somewhat

339
00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:34,960
Speaker 1: of a point, even though that's a laughable comment, that

340
00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:37,360
Speaker 1: they are a tough team, like if you're not playing well,

341
00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:39,160
Speaker 1: they can beat you. Hell, they almost beat the box

342
00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:41,000
Speaker 1: two weeks ago or three weeks ago or whatever. I'm

343
00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:44,159
Speaker 1: on a night football, but it's starting to kind of

344
00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:49,760
Speaker 1: circulate that maybe the most important asset currently in the franchise.

345
00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:52,920
Speaker 1: You could argue in franchise history in Carson Wentz when

346
00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:55,240
Speaker 1: you factor in how much they paid for it. The

347
00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:57,840
Speaker 1: head coach can't fix them, and he said time now

348
00:17:57,920 --> 00:18:01,480
Speaker 1: it's just not working out, is it? There? Personalities is

349
00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:04,600
Speaker 1: that they don't see things i'd eye. There's definitely a

350
00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:08,600
Speaker 1: chance that Carson Wentz can't be fixed. But here's what

351
00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:10,160
Speaker 1: I know, if you just look back at the history

352
00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:12,600
Speaker 1: of the way sports work, there will be another coach

353
00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:15,600
Speaker 1: that gets an opportunity to figure that out before they

354
00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:19,520
Speaker 1: just kick Carson Wentz the can down the road. Because

355
00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:21,800
Speaker 1: before they just go, you know, the Carson Wentz experiment

356
00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:24,679
Speaker 1: didn't work. Someone else is going to coach them. And

357
00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:27,400
Speaker 1: I don't know. I have no inside information on this,

358
00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:30,040
Speaker 1: but I think you have to ask. You start asking yourself,

359
00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:33,960
Speaker 1: is Doug Peterson's job status in a little bit of trouble?

360
00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:38,120
Speaker 1: One thing you know, I've learned over the years. When

361
00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:41,120
Speaker 1: I was in my twenties, I wasn't very good at savings.

362
00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:45,080
Speaker 1: I would imagine most guys girls whoever, just most younger

363
00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:47,760
Speaker 1: people are not. Then the older you get. The more

364
00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:51,280
Speaker 1: maturity you have, you realize you know and older people.

365
00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:53,760
Speaker 1: If you if you're in the business world and have mentors,

366
00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:55,639
Speaker 1: I tell you you won't want to have cash on

367
00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:59,440
Speaker 1: hand now. Sometimes you're just not in the financial position.

368
00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:03,439
Speaker 1: You're not making enough money, your bills are higher than

369
00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:07,120
Speaker 1: the money coming in. You can't save. But I found,

370
00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:10,600
Speaker 1: even in tough times, if I put ten percent away,

371
00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:13,480
Speaker 1: like every thousand dollars I get, put a hundred dollars

372
00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:17,680
Speaker 1: away and things. I mean, as it's it's gonna help

373
00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:20,440
Speaker 1: as we go into this crazy winner with all these lockdowns,

374
00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:22,760
Speaker 1: I was able to just put some extra cash away

375
00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:25,200
Speaker 1: that I would never have done five ten years ago.

376
00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:28,320
Speaker 1: And I'm very cognizant of that because I want to

377
00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:31,320
Speaker 1: be in positions when things, whether it's stock market, whether

378
00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:34,560
Speaker 1: it's real estate, become cheap. I have money, and they

379
00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:37,280
Speaker 1: say cash is king, But it's hard to accumulate cash

380
00:19:37,359 --> 00:19:39,639
Speaker 1: unless you make a lot of money. If you're not

381
00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:42,840
Speaker 1: really smart and listen, it doesn't mean you can just

382
00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:45,200
Speaker 1: accumulate a million dollars. I mean, if you're making eighty

383
00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:47,920
Speaker 1: tho dollars and you can just put a thousand away,

384
00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:50,439
Speaker 1: just a little bit away. It always helps for a

385
00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:54,280
Speaker 1: rainy day that that ship is so true, and I'm

386
00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:56,639
Speaker 1: a big believer on it, and I try to be

387
00:19:56,720 --> 00:20:00,320
Speaker 1: really consistent when I get some money to put some away. Now, ultimately,

388
00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:02,680
Speaker 1: I'm gonna use that money when I when I find

389
00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:05,920
Speaker 1: something that I want to buy, but I think about

390
00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:07,399
Speaker 1: it when the cash comes in, is to put a

391
00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:10,960
Speaker 1: little away. And it's different. I mean, I'm gonna, you know,

392
00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:13,680
Speaker 1: working for myself, I'm gonna pay quarterly income tax. It's

393
00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:16,240
Speaker 1: a part of it's that too, But I'm talking about

394
00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:18,919
Speaker 1: money that I can actually keep after the taxes are

395
00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:22,640
Speaker 1: are spent, and you just want to have a backup plan.

396
00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:25,760
Speaker 1: And I saw it like we're just going through the

397
00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:28,400
Speaker 1: same thing right now in society that we went through

398
00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:30,800
Speaker 1: in April May. The difference is we know way more

399
00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:32,840
Speaker 1: about the virus. But if I would have had a

400
00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:35,080
Speaker 1: lot of cash on hand when all the it's easy

401
00:20:35,119 --> 00:20:39,919
Speaker 1: to say now because when when the stock market just plummeted,

402
00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:41,600
Speaker 1: we didn't know if like the world was gonna end.

403
00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:43,240
Speaker 1: We didn't know, and I don't think it's gonna happen

404
00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:47,320
Speaker 1: this time around, but it was, it would have behooved

405
00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:49,760
Speaker 1: anyone to have a lot of cash on hand. It

406
00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:52,840
Speaker 1: behooves anyone to have a contingency plan. That there's a

407
00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:55,520
Speaker 1: reason that we pay for insurance, even though I've always

408
00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:58,639
Speaker 1: said I think insurance companies are the great racket in

409
00:20:58,680 --> 00:21:02,280
Speaker 1: the legal racket in America, because I pay them every month,

410
00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:05,440
Speaker 1: and then the moment I get into a car accident, Uh,

411
00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:08,159
Speaker 1: you know, my appliances go down. Uh you know, I

412
00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:12,560
Speaker 1: need surgery. My my payments are up the ass, and

413
00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:15,560
Speaker 1: they don't ever want to give me what they've promised

414
00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:17,200
Speaker 1: to give me despite me paying them. But that's a

415
00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:21,840
Speaker 1: whole another conversation. I'm sure everyone has their crazy insurance companies.

416
00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:24,440
Speaker 1: But again, there's a reason we have it because clearly,

417
00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:26,199
Speaker 1: if you have health insurance, it helps when you go

418
00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:28,280
Speaker 1: to the doctor. Right when you have car insurance and

419
00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:30,199
Speaker 1: you get into a car accident, it helps having it. Now,

420
00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:32,400
Speaker 1: it might be not sometimes it's difficult getting that money

421
00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:35,040
Speaker 1: from them, but eventually, if you find hard enough, you

422
00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:37,879
Speaker 1: can get the cash from them. And there's a reason

423
00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:43,600
Speaker 1: that good teams have backup quarterbacks because or attempt to have,

424
00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:47,880
Speaker 1: because when you have star quarterbacks, especially when they're older,

425
00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:52,480
Speaker 1: if they go down, you are immediately shut out of luck.

426
00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:58,000
Speaker 1: And I think the Saints proved last year that having

427
00:21:58,119 --> 00:22:01,359
Speaker 1: money in the bank a k. Paying Teddy Bridgewater like

428
00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:04,760
Speaker 1: seven million dollars to be their backup was genius. Remember

429
00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:09,000
Speaker 1: Drew Brees hurt his thumb in Los Angeles and I

430
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:12,479
Speaker 1: immediately thought, I'm like, they're screwed, They're done. They had

431
00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:15,200
Speaker 1: a contingency plan and they were fine. And it turns

432
00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:18,280
Speaker 1: out Teddy Bridgewater was good, made himself a lot of money.

433
00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:20,919
Speaker 1: He's now a starting quarterback. He ended up getting, you know,

434
00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:22,919
Speaker 1: twenty million dollars a year. They had no choice. They

435
00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:25,720
Speaker 1: had to let him go this year knowing that their

436
00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:28,399
Speaker 1: quarterback Unlike Tom Brady, this guy misses some games, like

437
00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:30,879
Speaker 1: Drew Brees has gotten banged up. Now two years in

438
00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:37,200
Speaker 1: a row, information comes out he has broken ribs, punctured lungs,

439
00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:40,639
Speaker 1: like he's in shambles. And watching the Niner Saints game yesterday,

440
00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:43,160
Speaker 1: it was hard to tell exactly what happened to him,

441
00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:45,760
Speaker 1: but you could see the pain on his face. He

442
00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:49,880
Speaker 1: was not in a good spot. And they didn't just go, oh,

443
00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:52,600
Speaker 1: let's bring out the undrafted free agent, or let's bring

444
00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:55,360
Speaker 1: in this seventh rounder. That's probably gonna suck. They rolled

445
00:22:55,359 --> 00:22:58,800
Speaker 1: out Jamis Winston and say what you want about Jamis Winston.

446
00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:01,240
Speaker 1: At the end of the day, he was the number

447
00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:04,520
Speaker 1: one overall pick and he was deserving of that, you know,

448
00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:08,160
Speaker 1: of that selection. He then went on to be a

449
00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:11,800
Speaker 1: productive passer for Bruce Arians. He just threw a lot

450
00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:13,960
Speaker 1: of picks. Now, the one thing I'd say with Bruce

451
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:16,040
Speaker 1: Arians is his quarterbacks throw a lot of picks. He's

452
00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:18,960
Speaker 1: cool with it. He throws the ball down field. Well,

453
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:22,600
Speaker 1: the Saints offense is not built like that. They don't

454
00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:25,680
Speaker 1: throw the ball down the field. They don't have players,

455
00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:29,280
Speaker 1: they don't roll out to to Sean Jackson's the best

456
00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:32,520
Speaker 1: player on their team is a running back that catches

457
00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:36,080
Speaker 1: the ball in screens, wheel routes, and little short routes,

458
00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:38,720
Speaker 1: all within five yards of the line of scrimmage. Their

459
00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:42,040
Speaker 1: second best player is a wide receiver that isn't that fast,

460
00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:46,560
Speaker 1: that runs slants, hitches and outs, and he could dominate

461
00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:50,679
Speaker 1: in Michael Thomas, unlike Godwin and Evans, who are deep threats,

462
00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:52,240
Speaker 1: who are guys you pushed the ball down the field.

463
00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:55,640
Speaker 1: That's not how the Saints operate. So Jameis Winston who

464
00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:58,080
Speaker 1: has had red flags on and off the field, And

465
00:23:58,119 --> 00:23:59,639
Speaker 1: I said the moment that he had the thing with

466
00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:02,600
Speaker 1: the Uber driver me personally, I was out. But I've

467
00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:06,040
Speaker 1: never disputed his talent. You just have to corral him well.

468
00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:08,960
Speaker 1: Sean Payton is the first perfect coach to corral him.

469
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:11,280
Speaker 1: And they have been smart. They've given the blueprint of

470
00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:14,360
Speaker 1: all these good teams. Like if Rogers went down, Packers

471
00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:18,360
Speaker 1: would be screwed. If if Russell Wilson went down, Seattle

472
00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:21,200
Speaker 1: would be fucked. I watched it with the Niners this year.

473
00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:23,800
Speaker 1: Jimmy Garoppolo, who wasn't even playing that well, went down.

474
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:27,200
Speaker 1: They rolled out Nick Mullins. He's an undrafted free agent.

475
00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:31,760
Speaker 1: Sources say he's not any good. Jared Goff don't even

476
00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:34,119
Speaker 1: know who the backup is. They would be in trouble.

477
00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:39,080
Speaker 1: We've seen this now. When you don't have a backup quarterback,

478
00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:43,200
Speaker 1: blame Gabbards. The backup quarterback in Tampa Bay, Tom Brady

479
00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:46,160
Speaker 1: were to get hurt, game set match, Tampa has no shot.

480
00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:50,080
Speaker 1: And I'm not saying the Saints are just gonna win.

481
00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:52,400
Speaker 1: If Drew Brees can't come back, they win the whole

482
00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:55,200
Speaker 1: thing with Jamis, But at least they have a fighting chance.

483
00:24:55,920 --> 00:24:58,960
Speaker 1: And I give Sean Payton credit for understanding that he

484
00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:01,679
Speaker 1: needs some cash in the inc because most teams don't

485
00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:06,119
Speaker 1: think that way or think they have enough. Kyle Shanahan's like,

486
00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:08,520
Speaker 1: we got Mullins and c. J. A. Bethard. For whatever reason,

487
00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:11,240
Speaker 1: the Niners keep two backup quarterbacks. It turns out that's

488
00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:14,359
Speaker 1: the equivalent of having like in your bank account. It's like,

489
00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:16,040
Speaker 1: bro that they wouldn't even pay for my h O

490
00:25:16,119 --> 00:25:19,840
Speaker 1: A fees, Like you can't win a game and when

491
00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:21,760
Speaker 1: you have. We saw last year with the Steelers. Now

492
00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:23,960
Speaker 1: I give them credit, they were drafting guys just turned

493
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:27,440
Speaker 1: it out. Dobbs stunk, Mason stunk, those guys were any good,

494
00:25:27,560 --> 00:25:30,199
Speaker 1: but they kept investing third and fourth round picks in

495
00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:34,240
Speaker 1: those guys. You always invest picks in those guys because

496
00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:37,159
Speaker 1: the most important position you can have, because if the

497
00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:40,199
Speaker 1: guy does go down, you need another guy. It's not

498
00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:42,720
Speaker 1: it's not like defensive line or wide receivers. You can

499
00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:47,639
Speaker 1: just work a group by committee. It's one individual player.

500
00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:52,200
Speaker 1: And when I was in Philadelphia, we signed Michael Vick

501
00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:54,160
Speaker 1: to a big deal. Andy Reid wanted to make Alex

502
00:25:54,200 --> 00:25:56,080
Speaker 1: Smith the highest paid backup in the league. We were really,

503
00:25:56,119 --> 00:25:59,679
Speaker 1: really aggressive. Jim Harbaugh convinced him to come back. Andy

504
00:25:59,840 --> 00:26:02,080
Speaker 1: ironically ended up getting this guy by a trade a

505
00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:04,520
Speaker 1: couple of years later, but he understood you need a

506
00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:07,560
Speaker 1: good backup. You have to have a good backup. Now

507
00:26:07,560 --> 00:26:09,520
Speaker 1: it's a little more difficult in their situation once you

508
00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:11,720
Speaker 1: pay my Homes huge money. But they have a veteran

509
00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:14,160
Speaker 1: backup who they proved last year, Matt More could winning game.

510
00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:17,320
Speaker 1: Matt Moore's a solid backup. Most teams do not have that.

511
00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:22,880
Speaker 1: They don't at all. The raiders backup quarterback is Nathan Peterman.

512
00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:27,600
Speaker 1: If Derek goes down, the Raiders are done, put a

513
00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:31,080
Speaker 1: fork in them. It's over. I'll get the Browns credit

514
00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:34,160
Speaker 1: case Kingdoms their backup quarterback. Hell, he might be better

515
00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:37,879
Speaker 1: in Baker. But this is why the Saints are a

516
00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:41,399
Speaker 1: high level operation. This is why Sean Payton makes huge cash.

517
00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:44,320
Speaker 1: This is why they always go to the playoffs. This

518
00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:46,800
Speaker 1: is why there go back again, whether Drew Brees comes

519
00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:50,160
Speaker 1: back or not, because they had a contingency plan. They

520
00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:52,440
Speaker 1: paid for the insurance and they got a really really

521
00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:57,600
Speaker 1: talented player right who's flawed, but he's more talented than

522
00:26:57,600 --> 00:26:59,920
Speaker 1: every backup in the league, that's for sure. And they're

523
00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:06,480
Speaker 1: built two, you know, to limit his greatest mistakes, which

524
00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:10,600
Speaker 1: are terrible passes down you know, twenty plus yards down

525
00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:14,040
Speaker 1: down the field. They don't do that there. They dumped

526
00:27:14,040 --> 00:27:16,840
Speaker 1: the ball off and they throw slants and quick outs

527
00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:20,359
Speaker 1: and ends like that's their offense and it's proven it works.

528
00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:22,800
Speaker 1: I actually think they'll be pretty good with James Winston.

529
00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:27,199
Speaker 1: Let's shift to the Miami Dolphins, and I might have

530
00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:32,720
Speaker 1: to take a couple else because twofold one, before we

531
00:27:32,800 --> 00:27:36,280
Speaker 1: even saw to UH, I was very down on them

532
00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:39,440
Speaker 1: not playing him. I thought it was stupid. It didn't

533
00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:44,000
Speaker 1: make any sense because he was dressing for every game.

534
00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:47,960
Speaker 1: He was not in sweats, and we saw Burrow, we

535
00:27:48,040 --> 00:27:51,639
Speaker 1: saw Herbert. It's like, why are they waiting? And ultimately,

536
00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:54,840
Speaker 1: I think it's been proven they had a plan, and

537
00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:56,800
Speaker 1: we're going to dive into the head coach who clearly

538
00:27:56,840 --> 00:27:59,600
Speaker 1: stuck with that plan. And I'm a huge believer in UH.

539
00:28:00,760 --> 00:28:03,880
Speaker 1: Like I think the media has never been more irrelevant.

540
00:28:04,320 --> 00:28:05,800
Speaker 1: You just don't have to listen to him. It just

541
00:28:05,880 --> 00:28:09,280
Speaker 1: doesn't matter. But I also think there is like the

542
00:28:09,280 --> 00:28:11,760
Speaker 1: fans and everyone is like, why aren't this guy playing?

543
00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:13,720
Speaker 1: And I thought the whole time he got to the

544
00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:16,360
Speaker 1: point where maybe even the owner was like, especially once

545
00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:18,879
Speaker 1: Herbert starts making plays, why isn't our guy playing if

546
00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:21,320
Speaker 1: he's healthy enough to play. They ultimately put him in

547
00:28:21,320 --> 00:28:25,800
Speaker 1: the bye week, and that first week I was pretty

548
00:28:25,800 --> 00:28:27,240
Speaker 1: down on him. I was like, you know, I don't

549
00:28:27,280 --> 00:28:29,920
Speaker 1: really see it these last couple of weeks, but especially

550
00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:34,360
Speaker 1: the game against the Chargers on Sunday, I'm pretty impressed

551
00:28:34,359 --> 00:28:36,600
Speaker 1: with tah just in terms of how fast he gets

552
00:28:36,680 --> 00:28:40,440
Speaker 1: rid of the ball, his accuracy, and he's not exactly

553
00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:44,480
Speaker 1: playing with O. J. McDuffie. You know, I don't know.

554
00:28:44,520 --> 00:28:46,320
Speaker 1: I'm trying to like. I was like gonna rattle off

555
00:28:46,320 --> 00:28:49,200
Speaker 1: like three or four sweet uh Miami Dolphins wide receiver.

556
00:28:49,240 --> 00:28:51,760
Speaker 1: I don't even know him. I mean, Devonte Parker is

557
00:28:51,880 --> 00:28:54,560
Speaker 1: okay whatever, never lived up to his first round. Building

558
00:28:54,560 --> 00:28:57,000
Speaker 1: actually pretty talented, but they don't have that much talent.

559
00:28:57,360 --> 00:28:59,880
Speaker 1: Jachem Grant, the little guy from Texas Texas is sal

560
00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:02,760
Speaker 1: it Uh. The tight end they drafted I think from

561
00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:06,120
Speaker 1: Penn State. Gilsecki is actually not bad. I like that guy,

562
00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:09,240
Speaker 1: but they they are not rolling out like Kenyan Drake.

563
00:29:09,280 --> 00:29:11,440
Speaker 1: I'm watching the Cardinal game. That guy is really good. Well,

564
00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:13,960
Speaker 1: he's not on their team anymore because they traded him.

565
00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:16,360
Speaker 1: And I assume once they traded, everyone's team was really

566
00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:19,239
Speaker 1: gonna suck. And I've just been wrong, and I think

567
00:29:19,320 --> 00:29:22,120
Speaker 1: to uh, he's not ever going to be as physically

568
00:29:22,120 --> 00:29:24,240
Speaker 1: gifted as Justin Herbert, and that's the guy we're comparing

569
00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:27,400
Speaker 1: him to, because ultimately they chose to over Herbert. But

570
00:29:27,520 --> 00:29:30,800
Speaker 1: he is. He has a really quick release. He's much

571
00:29:30,840 --> 00:29:34,440
Speaker 1: more fast twitch, let's say, than Baker Mayfield, two smaller guys.

572
00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:39,400
Speaker 1: Everything smoother about his game now, you know, in fairness

573
00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:42,320
Speaker 1: to Baker Mayfield, he's played in some Monthsoon's two has

574
00:29:42,320 --> 00:29:44,680
Speaker 1: played in a controlled environment in Miami. But that's part

575
00:29:44,720 --> 00:29:46,400
Speaker 1: of the deal with playing for the Dolphins. You get

576
00:29:46,440 --> 00:29:49,480
Speaker 1: to play in warm weather. Now, eventually, if the Jets

577
00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:51,520
Speaker 1: ever get good, obviously the Bills and the Patriots, those

578
00:29:51,520 --> 00:29:54,400
Speaker 1: games can get really cold. Historically the Dolphins have not

579
00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:57,960
Speaker 1: been good in those games. But that's we're jumping ahead here,

580
00:29:58,240 --> 00:30:00,800
Speaker 1: putting the cart before the horse here. Let's just let's

581
00:30:00,840 --> 00:30:03,680
Speaker 1: walk before we run. And what I saw the game

582
00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:07,160
Speaker 1: against the Chargers from tah had me excited, Like, do

583
00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:08,920
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna be some all time great. I'm

584
00:30:08,960 --> 00:30:12,600
Speaker 1: not gonna make some crazy statement about where he's going,

585
00:30:12,640 --> 00:30:14,680
Speaker 1: but he showed he can be a good player in

586
00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:17,600
Speaker 1: this league. For sure. He has talent. We knew that.

587
00:30:17,640 --> 00:30:19,120
Speaker 1: But it's one thing to see a guy on an

588
00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:23,720
Speaker 1: NFL field. But the most impressive thing about this organization

589
00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:27,600
Speaker 1: has not been the quarterback. It's the coach. When they

590
00:30:27,640 --> 00:30:31,240
Speaker 1: started trading everyone, and I said this when they trade

591
00:30:31,280 --> 00:30:33,600
Speaker 1: make of Fitzpatrick, when they trade Laramie Tunsil, Like, the

592
00:30:33,640 --> 00:30:37,520
Speaker 1: whole point of the draft is ultimately to acquire guys

593
00:30:37,600 --> 00:30:40,040
Speaker 1: like that. Like you got Laramie Tunzel, that's a good thing.

594
00:30:40,040 --> 00:30:41,959
Speaker 1: You want that guy in your team. You got make

595
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:43,440
Speaker 1: Of fitz Patrick because he fell in the draft. That's

596
00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:45,680
Speaker 1: a good thing. He's a dominant defensive player. You don't

597
00:30:45,720 --> 00:30:47,800
Speaker 1: trade those guys away. It's why when the Raiders trade

598
00:30:47,840 --> 00:30:50,040
Speaker 1: Cleil Mack's, like, the whole point of the draft is

599
00:30:50,040 --> 00:30:52,720
Speaker 1: to have Cleil mac not then trade him for more

600
00:30:52,800 --> 00:30:56,640
Speaker 1: draft picks, because you know they say, whatever a burden

601
00:30:56,640 --> 00:30:58,320
Speaker 1: the hands better than two in the bush, Like you

602
00:30:58,440 --> 00:31:01,040
Speaker 1: got the guy now, But they did it, so once

603
00:31:01,080 --> 00:31:03,760
Speaker 1: you do it. It's water in the bridge. It is

604
00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:07,200
Speaker 1: what it is. And they have pivoted in terms of

605
00:31:07,520 --> 00:31:12,440
Speaker 1: their nine in five in their last fourteen games, and

606
00:31:12,440 --> 00:31:14,160
Speaker 1: there's six and three this year and it's a real

607
00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:17,680
Speaker 1: six and three. Like they dominated that game against the Chargers.

608
00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:21,040
Speaker 1: They were in complete control their defense. They don't have

609
00:31:21,040 --> 00:31:22,480
Speaker 1: that many guys have even heard of. I know they

610
00:31:22,560 --> 00:31:25,239
Speaker 1: signed Van oy at Their corners are actually pretty good.

611
00:31:25,280 --> 00:31:27,520
Speaker 1: I mean they signed Byron Jones from the Cowboys. Obviously

612
00:31:27,560 --> 00:31:30,240
Speaker 1: have the Howard who was already on the team when

613
00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:32,680
Speaker 1: Flores got there, like the dvs are. Their two corners

614
00:31:32,680 --> 00:31:35,680
Speaker 1: are good and van always solid, but they create pressure,

615
00:31:35,720 --> 00:31:38,400
Speaker 1: they tackle well. You watched their team every week and

616
00:31:38,400 --> 00:31:40,160
Speaker 1: I really noticed it when they came out and played

617
00:31:40,160 --> 00:31:43,080
Speaker 1: the Niners with Fitzpatrick and they beat the breaks off

618
00:31:43,080 --> 00:31:45,400
Speaker 1: the forty Niners. I was like, oh my god, this

619
00:31:45,440 --> 00:31:48,080
Speaker 1: team is. You know, they come to play and when

620
00:31:48,120 --> 00:31:50,200
Speaker 1: you come to play every week, that's a reflection of

621
00:31:50,200 --> 00:31:52,840
Speaker 1: the head coach and right now, say what you want,

622
00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:56,320
Speaker 1: and historically we always got well, guys leave Belichick and

623
00:31:56,360 --> 00:31:58,280
Speaker 1: they fall apart. They try to be him. They try

624
00:31:58,320 --> 00:32:00,480
Speaker 1: to be him, and it never works. You can't be Belichick,

625
00:32:00,560 --> 00:32:03,280
Speaker 1: Patricia can't be Belichick makes some practice outside even though

626
00:32:03,280 --> 00:32:07,040
Speaker 1: they're playing indoors. Bill O'Brien just complete asshole. Right, we

627
00:32:07,080 --> 00:32:09,200
Speaker 1: just go down the list. Romeo Carnal just not a

628
00:32:09,240 --> 00:32:12,080
Speaker 1: good coach, good assistant coach, not a good head coach,

629
00:32:12,160 --> 00:32:14,120
Speaker 1: and just like Bang but Josh McDaniels, he tried to

630
00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:16,400
Speaker 1: be like the little dictator. Didn't work in Denver. They

631
00:32:16,440 --> 00:32:18,120
Speaker 1: had to like tell him to get the hell out

632
00:32:18,160 --> 00:32:20,720
Speaker 1: of there. This is working. I don't know if Brian

633
00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:23,560
Speaker 1: Flores took better notes when he was around Bill. I

634
00:32:23,560 --> 00:32:25,720
Speaker 1: don't know if he stayed true to his personality. I

635
00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:27,880
Speaker 1: don't know if he's just a star coach regardless of

636
00:32:27,960 --> 00:32:30,440
Speaker 1: he had been about round Belichick or not. But this

637
00:32:30,480 --> 00:32:33,600
Speaker 1: guy's the real deal. Just watch his teams. Your team

638
00:32:33,640 --> 00:32:36,600
Speaker 1: is a reflection of your head coach, and it's pretty consistent.

639
00:32:36,640 --> 00:32:38,719
Speaker 1: Like the good teams are reflection. The Steelers are good.

640
00:32:38,720 --> 00:32:40,840
Speaker 1: Why they got Mike Tomas. The Chiefs have been good

641
00:32:40,840 --> 00:32:43,280
Speaker 1: for seven years? Why they have had any read The

642
00:32:43,640 --> 00:32:45,760
Speaker 1: Saints have been good for fifteen years? Why they've had

643
00:32:45,760 --> 00:32:48,800
Speaker 1: Sehn Payton? Like since McVeigh got there. The Rams win

644
00:32:48,840 --> 00:32:51,920
Speaker 1: a lot. Why Shavey is good. It's pretty clear, like

645
00:32:51,920 --> 00:32:55,000
Speaker 1: the Dolphins are a very credible operation. Why Brian Flores,

646
00:32:56,120 --> 00:32:59,880
Speaker 1: Like players have changed, coaches, you know, organization, people in

647
00:32:59,920 --> 00:33:04,040
Speaker 1: the organization have changed. It's just it's the coach. Because

648
00:33:04,080 --> 00:33:06,360
Speaker 1: I'm watching the Dolphins for the last however many years,

649
00:33:06,360 --> 00:33:08,800
Speaker 1: they always the same. They're like, uh, they're not terrible,

650
00:33:08,840 --> 00:33:11,800
Speaker 1: but they're not good. Like they're just good now. And

651
00:33:11,840 --> 00:33:13,520
Speaker 1: if you look at their schedule, it's not out of

652
00:33:13,560 --> 00:33:16,240
Speaker 1: their own possibility that they're nine and three now. I

653
00:33:16,240 --> 00:33:18,080
Speaker 1: don't know if they have enough talent to just beat

654
00:33:18,160 --> 00:33:20,160
Speaker 1: everyone that they should beat like they should. They'll beat

655
00:33:20,200 --> 00:33:24,040
Speaker 1: the Jets, but like the Broncos, the game against the Jags,

656
00:33:24,680 --> 00:33:26,600
Speaker 1: you know, hell, even when they play the Raider, like

657
00:33:26,840 --> 00:33:29,600
Speaker 1: they're gonna just lose a game or two. But I

658
00:33:29,600 --> 00:33:31,640
Speaker 1: think there's a decent chance this team gets ten wins,

659
00:33:31,760 --> 00:33:33,600
Speaker 1: and if they get to ten wins, they're in the playoffs.

660
00:33:34,320 --> 00:33:38,520
Speaker 1: And if Brian Flores makes the playoffs, I don't care

661
00:33:38,560 --> 00:33:41,240
Speaker 1: how many games Mike Tomlin wins. I don't care how

662
00:33:41,240 --> 00:33:44,240
Speaker 1: many games Andy Reid wins. We we know those two coaches.

663
00:33:44,520 --> 00:33:47,640
Speaker 1: They're elite Super Bowl champions, they're big time, ten million

664
00:33:47,640 --> 00:33:51,240
Speaker 1: dollar guys. We didn't. I didn't think that about Brian Flores.

665
00:33:51,680 --> 00:33:54,760
Speaker 1: But if he wins ten games with this team and

666
00:33:54,800 --> 00:33:57,600
Speaker 1: I had a vote, I wouldn't even hesitate Brian Flores

667
00:33:57,640 --> 00:33:59,160
Speaker 1: to be the coach of the Year. And I think

668
00:33:59,200 --> 00:34:01,400
Speaker 1: both those two guys, and you know, you go around

669
00:34:01,400 --> 00:34:03,600
Speaker 1: the you can go to like Pete Carroll, Sean McVeigh,

670
00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:07,440
Speaker 1: like Brian Flores doing holy hell hell the NFC West.

671
00:34:07,920 --> 00:34:11,480
Speaker 1: Just ask Pete Carroll, Sean mcvahan and Kyle Shanahan. He

672
00:34:11,600 --> 00:34:14,880
Speaker 1: beat the Rams, and he beat the Niners. He played

673
00:34:14,960 --> 00:34:17,799
Speaker 1: right there with Seattle. He beat the Cardinals, who were

674
00:34:17,800 --> 00:34:20,920
Speaker 1: pretty good. This guy went three and one against the

675
00:34:20,920 --> 00:34:22,920
Speaker 1: a f C West or excuse me, the NFC West.

676
00:34:23,920 --> 00:34:27,399
Speaker 1: That is really really impressive. I did not expect them

677
00:34:27,440 --> 00:34:29,880
Speaker 1: to be this good and the blow up it worked.

678
00:34:30,640 --> 00:34:33,120
Speaker 1: So whatever the notes he took when he was with Belichick,

679
00:34:33,880 --> 00:34:36,320
Speaker 1: maybe he has a photographic memory like Andrew Luck. Everything

680
00:34:36,320 --> 00:34:38,480
Speaker 1: Belichick said he remembered, but he kind of puts his

681
00:34:38,520 --> 00:34:41,839
Speaker 1: own spin on it. It's just working because you can't

682
00:34:41,840 --> 00:34:47,120
Speaker 1: watch the Miami Dolphins Boom boom, sack, boom, easy touchdown drive.

683
00:34:47,200 --> 00:34:50,520
Speaker 1: It's like everything they do is just pretty impressive. I

684
00:34:50,600 --> 00:34:53,400
Speaker 1: watched two teams. The Chargers have much more talent than

685
00:34:53,440 --> 00:34:57,040
Speaker 1: the Dolphins. Charges are poorly coached, special team's mistake, poor

686
00:34:57,080 --> 00:35:00,680
Speaker 1: offensive play calling, just a disaster. Dolphins are the lead opposite,

687
00:35:00,800 --> 00:35:07,400
Speaker 1: well coached, overachieved play hard, have coaching advantages on just

688
00:35:07,840 --> 00:35:11,319
Speaker 1: situational spots in the game. They don't waste downs, they

689
00:35:11,400 --> 00:35:14,600
Speaker 1: blocked punts. It was a clinic on Yeah, that's a

690
00:35:14,760 --> 00:35:18,319
Speaker 1: that's a well run team. That's a disastrous team. Say

691
00:35:18,360 --> 00:35:19,840
Speaker 1: what you want about Stephen Ross, like he got this

692
00:35:19,880 --> 00:35:23,360
Speaker 1: one right. Dean Spanos the other side has a disaster

693
00:35:23,480 --> 00:35:26,680
Speaker 1: on his hands. So Brian Flores I might have been

694
00:35:26,719 --> 00:35:28,520
Speaker 1: a little quick to like kind of crushed too up,

695
00:35:28,520 --> 00:35:30,600
Speaker 1: but it was one game. That's what we do when

696
00:35:30,600 --> 00:35:33,239
Speaker 1: we talk about football. We overreact to stuff. I just

697
00:35:33,520 --> 00:35:35,520
Speaker 1: Brian Flores is a story the Miami Dolphins, and I

698
00:35:35,560 --> 00:35:40,600
Speaker 1: don't think it's close before. I'm sure many people know this,

699
00:35:40,680 --> 00:35:42,640
Speaker 1: but some I know. We have a lot of new listeners.

700
00:35:42,840 --> 00:35:45,000
Speaker 1: Before I got into the NFL, I was a graduate

701
00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:48,000
Speaker 1: assistant at Fresno State in the late two thousand's, right

702
00:35:48,040 --> 00:35:50,560
Speaker 1: after I graduated college. But one of the reasons like

703
00:35:50,600 --> 00:35:54,120
Speaker 1: I had somewhat of a connection there was my cousin

704
00:35:54,200 --> 00:35:56,279
Speaker 1: had played there, and I had family that grew up

705
00:35:56,280 --> 00:36:00,239
Speaker 1: there in the eighties and the nineties, and my uncle

706
00:36:00,239 --> 00:36:02,040
Speaker 1: who's a businessman in that area. It was a big

707
00:36:02,080 --> 00:36:06,960
Speaker 1: part of the football program, was very close and they

708
00:36:07,800 --> 00:36:10,000
Speaker 1: they have a close personal friend who's now a friend

709
00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:12,160
Speaker 1: of mine who played on the team in the late

710
00:36:12,280 --> 00:36:16,120
Speaker 1: nineties and was best friends with Lane Kiffin, and Lane

711
00:36:16,160 --> 00:36:19,480
Speaker 1: Kiffin used to babysit some of my cousins with this

712
00:36:19,560 --> 00:36:22,080
Speaker 1: other guy who actually coached for Fresno State, and he

713
00:36:22,080 --> 00:36:24,520
Speaker 1: had a brother that played at Stanford, and just there

714
00:36:24,560 --> 00:36:26,440
Speaker 1: was a connection there. And then I got to know

715
00:36:26,520 --> 00:36:29,560
Speaker 1: people at Fresno State. One of the assistant coaches named

716
00:36:29,560 --> 00:36:32,200
Speaker 1: Tim Skipper, who was on that team, who was also

717
00:36:32,400 --> 00:36:34,239
Speaker 1: very very close with Lane Kiffin. I actually think they

718
00:36:34,280 --> 00:36:37,120
Speaker 1: were roommates, and I always heard these Lane Kiffin stories.

719
00:36:37,120 --> 00:36:39,239
Speaker 1: And then I think my second year at Fresno State,

720
00:36:39,719 --> 00:36:42,440
Speaker 1: me and Tim Skipper, Lane Kiffin was named the USC

721
00:36:42,600 --> 00:36:45,000
Speaker 1: head coach, and we went down to sc and watched

722
00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:48,480
Speaker 1: the practice, so we b s with Lane a little bit.

723
00:36:48,560 --> 00:36:50,239
Speaker 1: Tim did way more than me. I just kind of

724
00:36:50,239 --> 00:36:54,240
Speaker 1: watched from afar, but I followed Lane's career very very closely,

725
00:36:54,840 --> 00:36:57,040
Speaker 1: partly because I just know a lot of people that

726
00:36:57,160 --> 00:36:59,839
Speaker 1: know him. Uh. I met him a couple of times

727
00:36:59,840 --> 00:37:02,480
Speaker 1: when I was scouting, really briefly, but he was a

728
00:37:02,520 --> 00:37:04,759
Speaker 1: different human when he was at SC and I went through.

729
00:37:05,440 --> 00:37:07,839
Speaker 1: When I went through USC, I saw a guy who

730
00:37:07,880 --> 00:37:11,200
Speaker 1: was pretty negative, who you could feel the stress on

731
00:37:11,280 --> 00:37:13,800
Speaker 1: his body. And I always had people of those Fressle

732
00:37:13,840 --> 00:37:15,840
Speaker 1: State crew that knew him really well. They said, Listen,

733
00:37:16,080 --> 00:37:18,480
Speaker 1: Lane is a different cat, but he's a he can coach,

734
00:37:18,640 --> 00:37:22,400
Speaker 1: and he knows football. He's a junkie. And I've always

735
00:37:22,400 --> 00:37:24,479
Speaker 1: held that, you know, just in the back of my head,

736
00:37:24,560 --> 00:37:26,520
Speaker 1: even when things were really bad and I watched it

737
00:37:26,560 --> 00:37:30,760
Speaker 1: really closely at USC, they underachieved. They just the offense

738
00:37:30,840 --> 00:37:33,319
Speaker 1: was ugly. It was just bad. And I felt like

739
00:37:33,480 --> 00:37:36,080
Speaker 1: he was just not comfortable in his own skin for

740
00:37:36,120 --> 00:37:39,640
Speaker 1: whatever reason. And maybe that's because he became so famous

741
00:37:39,680 --> 00:37:42,040
Speaker 1: so fast, so much was given to him. He didn't

742
00:37:42,040 --> 00:37:44,560
Speaker 1: have any success on the level that I think people

743
00:37:44,840 --> 00:37:47,280
Speaker 1: thought that he might go to right went to Tennessee

744
00:37:47,360 --> 00:37:49,040
Speaker 1: that he came to SC and it was just a disaster.

745
00:37:49,160 --> 00:37:52,280
Speaker 1: Ultimately got fired in the tarmac, but then Lane Kiffin

746
00:37:52,480 --> 00:37:55,600
Speaker 1: or excuse me, then Nick Saban throughout the lifeline and

747
00:37:55,640 --> 00:37:58,680
Speaker 1: it changed his life. He became the offensive coordinator there,

748
00:37:58,719 --> 00:38:01,320
Speaker 1: they won a national championship. He went to become the

749
00:38:01,360 --> 00:38:03,359
Speaker 1: head coach at the little school in Florida. I think

750
00:38:03,360 --> 00:38:05,520
Speaker 1: they won the league two out of three years, and

751
00:38:05,560 --> 00:38:09,880
Speaker 1: he's just become very comfortable with himself. And listen, we

752
00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:12,120
Speaker 1: all don't become comfortable in our own skin at the

753
00:38:12,160 --> 00:38:14,520
Speaker 1: same time. Some people are comfortable in their own skin

754
00:38:14,560 --> 00:38:18,640
Speaker 1: at eighteen, good looking dude, who's talented stuff, who's dating

755
00:38:18,680 --> 00:38:21,040
Speaker 1: the best looking babe at school. Some people don't become

756
00:38:21,080 --> 00:38:23,399
Speaker 1: comfortable in their own skin till fifty and maybe they

757
00:38:23,560 --> 00:38:25,719
Speaker 1: kind of figure out what they like and their life

758
00:38:25,760 --> 00:38:28,319
Speaker 1: changed for the better. I think in the last couple

759
00:38:28,320 --> 00:38:32,240
Speaker 1: of years, definitely in the Saban era when he was Alabama,

760
00:38:32,480 --> 00:38:35,279
Speaker 1: Lane started to develop that. And I really think once

761
00:38:35,280 --> 00:38:39,360
Speaker 1: he left Nick Saban for f a U Florida Atlantic,

762
00:38:39,600 --> 00:38:42,640
Speaker 1: Florida International, whatever, the little Florida school he coached at,

763
00:38:43,520 --> 00:38:47,080
Speaker 1: he became very confident in his own abilities to win.

764
00:38:47,760 --> 00:38:49,400
Speaker 1: I always say this. When I went to school at

765
00:38:49,400 --> 00:38:51,799
Speaker 1: cal Poly, I didn't learn that much, but the one

766
00:38:51,840 --> 00:38:54,520
Speaker 1: thing I remember is the school motto was pretty simple,

767
00:38:55,040 --> 00:38:58,239
Speaker 1: learn by doing, and I'm a big believer in that.

768
00:38:58,239 --> 00:39:00,640
Speaker 1: That's why I'm not that big of a believer in academia.

769
00:39:01,040 --> 00:39:03,560
Speaker 1: I don't learn from you just drawing ship on the board.

770
00:39:04,080 --> 00:39:06,560
Speaker 1: I learned by actually doing it. You can tell me

771
00:39:06,600 --> 00:39:09,239
Speaker 1: about a million different things once I do it. Now.

772
00:39:09,280 --> 00:39:10,640
Speaker 1: I'm not saying I'm gonna be good at it, but

773
00:39:10,719 --> 00:39:12,279
Speaker 1: at least I might be able to pick it up

774
00:39:12,320 --> 00:39:16,200
Speaker 1: when I actually do it. And I think when Lane

775
00:39:16,200 --> 00:39:19,040
Speaker 1: went back out on his own after he realized his

776
00:39:19,120 --> 00:39:23,000
Speaker 1: flaws and also improved when he was around Nick, he realized,

777
00:39:23,040 --> 00:39:25,640
Speaker 1: I'm not only good at this, I just need to

778
00:39:25,640 --> 00:39:27,400
Speaker 1: be true to who I am and I'm gonna be fine.

779
00:39:27,840 --> 00:39:30,320
Speaker 1: Because now he's at all miss. I think Lane Kiffin

780
00:39:30,400 --> 00:39:33,160
Speaker 1: is becoming one of the better football personalities in college

781
00:39:33,239 --> 00:39:35,960
Speaker 1: or pro. I'm sure many of you saw that video

782
00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:40,239
Speaker 1: go viral of them dial up that big play, him

783
00:39:40,280 --> 00:39:43,040
Speaker 1: being basically on the twenty yard line where his offense

784
00:39:43,200 --> 00:39:46,560
Speaker 1: was the dude's wide open. Lane puts his hand up

785
00:39:46,600 --> 00:39:49,440
Speaker 1: to signal touchdown while he's on the sideline. His quarterback

786
00:39:49,480 --> 00:39:51,680
Speaker 1: throws the dude the ball like forty yards down, the field,

787
00:39:52,120 --> 00:39:56,600
Speaker 1: Lane takes off, throws his clipboard play sheet thirty ft

788
00:39:56,600 --> 00:39:58,960
Speaker 1: in the air, runs down to the basically the other

789
00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:01,240
Speaker 1: twenty yard line as guy's walking into the end zone,

790
00:40:01,520 --> 00:40:04,399
Speaker 1: and gives a fist pump. I think the number one

791
00:40:04,440 --> 00:40:07,400
Speaker 1: thing for anyone to have success at whatever they do,

792
00:40:07,440 --> 00:40:09,759
Speaker 1: you have to be comfortable in your own skin when

793
00:40:09,800 --> 00:40:12,080
Speaker 1: you try to be someone else. When you try to

794
00:40:12,120 --> 00:40:15,360
Speaker 1: emulate someone else, it doesn't work. At the end of

795
00:40:15,360 --> 00:40:18,960
Speaker 1: the day. Lane Kiffin is not Nick Saban, but he

796
00:40:19,000 --> 00:40:21,680
Speaker 1: can take some of the things that Nick Saban taught

797
00:40:21,760 --> 00:40:26,000
Speaker 1: him and implement that into his coaching. Nick Saban would

798
00:40:26,040 --> 00:40:29,719
Speaker 1: never do that. Lane should. Lane likes that I found, Like, God,

799
00:40:29,719 --> 00:40:32,600
Speaker 1: that's that's pretty cool. You should celebrate some of these

800
00:40:32,640 --> 00:40:36,800
Speaker 1: things football, like is so hard. Success in anything is

801
00:40:36,840 --> 00:40:39,480
Speaker 1: so difficult. I don't think we spend enough time celebrating.

802
00:40:39,920 --> 00:40:42,200
Speaker 1: You don't always need to be doom and gloomer even

803
00:40:42,239 --> 00:40:47,000
Speaker 1: when things are good. Nick excels in that, so does Belichick.

804
00:40:47,440 --> 00:40:50,920
Speaker 1: But I think celebrating wins is a big deal. And

805
00:40:50,960 --> 00:40:55,480
Speaker 1: I think Lane now at all miss is just really

806
00:40:55,760 --> 00:40:58,600
Speaker 1: really come into his own and his team is only

807
00:40:58,600 --> 00:41:03,960
Speaker 1: going to get better. And listen, if Dabbo Sweeney. Whenever

808
00:41:04,040 --> 00:41:07,480
Speaker 1: Nick retires, he's ste six seven years old. He's not

809
00:41:07,520 --> 00:41:09,799
Speaker 1: going to coach for I'd put the over under him

810
00:41:09,800 --> 00:41:11,919
Speaker 1: like two and a half years, maybe next year, maybe

811
00:41:11,960 --> 00:41:14,360
Speaker 1: two more years. He's trying to win another national championship.

812
00:41:14,400 --> 00:41:16,200
Speaker 1: If you were to win a national championship, he'd probably

813
00:41:16,239 --> 00:41:21,120
Speaker 1: just retire if Dabbo Sweeney turns Alabama down. And Dabbo Sweeney,

814
00:41:21,239 --> 00:41:23,120
Speaker 1: for those who don't know, went to Alabama, so are

815
00:41:23,200 --> 00:41:25,520
Speaker 1: many people that are listening do know that. But he's

816
00:41:25,520 --> 00:41:27,360
Speaker 1: got a pretty good thing at Clemson. He's got this

817
00:41:27,440 --> 00:41:30,440
Speaker 1: quarterback DJ who I've talked about before. He's going to

818
00:41:30,480 --> 00:41:33,080
Speaker 1: be a store like he makes ten million dollars. He's

819
00:41:33,080 --> 00:41:35,719
Speaker 1: got an assistant coaches that make two and a half

820
00:41:35,760 --> 00:41:39,040
Speaker 1: million dollars, his coordinator, he's got, He's basically got Alabama

821
00:41:39,080 --> 00:41:40,680
Speaker 1: at Clemson. He does not need to leave, And you

822
00:41:40,680 --> 00:41:42,360
Speaker 1: know what, he probably won't because he could be the

823
00:41:42,360 --> 00:41:44,480
Speaker 1: Bear Bryan at Clemson and he's on pat he's on

824
00:41:44,560 --> 00:41:47,880
Speaker 1: pace to be that guy. So if he turns down Alabama,

825
00:41:47,880 --> 00:41:50,319
Speaker 1: which I would imagine that'd be their first decision, why

826
00:41:50,320 --> 00:41:53,800
Speaker 1: wouldn't Alabama go after Lane Kiffen now if this in

827
00:41:53,840 --> 00:41:55,600
Speaker 1: a couple of years, Lane's gotta win a little bit.

828
00:41:56,160 --> 00:41:59,040
Speaker 1: But he knows the system. He's a saving guy. They

829
00:41:59,080 --> 00:42:02,760
Speaker 1: have success there. He's now in the conference having success again,

830
00:42:02,800 --> 00:42:05,279
Speaker 1: assuming that he just has some success and success little

831
00:42:05,320 --> 00:42:08,640
Speaker 1: miss is not, you know, getting to the playoffs. Success

832
00:42:08,640 --> 00:42:12,640
Speaker 1: little misses eight nine wins, like Dan Mullen to me,

833
00:42:12,840 --> 00:42:16,040
Speaker 1: never needed to win eleven games at all at Mississippi State.

834
00:42:16,400 --> 00:42:19,040
Speaker 1: When Dan Mullin started win seven eight, I said, that's

835
00:42:19,040 --> 00:42:21,520
Speaker 1: a big boy coach. I guess the Florida starts kicking

836
00:42:21,560 --> 00:42:25,920
Speaker 1: everyone's ass when you go to shitty programs and you

837
00:42:25,960 --> 00:42:28,760
Speaker 1: take him from three four wins to eight nine wins

838
00:42:28,880 --> 00:42:31,680
Speaker 1: when you're playing teams that you have no business beating.

839
00:42:32,239 --> 00:42:35,800
Speaker 1: I noticed this when I was watching UH Washington State

840
00:42:36,400 --> 00:42:41,120
Speaker 1: play Oregon and Mike Leach. When I was scouting and

841
00:42:41,200 --> 00:42:44,240
Speaker 1: I went through Pullman, Washington. I went through every school

842
00:42:44,280 --> 00:42:46,920
Speaker 1: on the West coast, and I remember going to Oregon,

843
00:42:47,040 --> 00:42:48,880
Speaker 1: going to sc even U c. L A. And it

844
00:42:48,960 --> 00:42:50,920
Speaker 1: was like, God, this so badass. You go to Colorado,

845
00:42:50,960 --> 00:42:53,880
Speaker 1: even Utah was like this is sweet. Then you go

846
00:42:53,960 --> 00:42:56,719
Speaker 1: to Washington, Seattle, you like, this place is badass. You know,

847
00:42:56,800 --> 00:42:59,480
Speaker 1: Sark and they were cool. They were building these sweet facilities,

848
00:42:59,480 --> 00:43:02,960
Speaker 1: and you go to him in Washington. You have absolutely

849
00:43:03,120 --> 00:43:07,080
Speaker 1: no business winning in Pullman, Washington, and Mike Lee twin

850
00:43:07,160 --> 00:43:09,960
Speaker 1: there and started winning every single year. To me, winning

851
00:43:10,040 --> 00:43:12,319
Speaker 1: eight nine games of Washington State is just as good

852
00:43:12,360 --> 00:43:15,040
Speaker 1: as winning eleven twelve in organ because that's what you

853
00:43:15,040 --> 00:43:16,880
Speaker 1: should be Abut that's the max you should be able to.

854
00:43:16,920 --> 00:43:19,200
Speaker 1: You have no business competing with Oregan. You have no

855
00:43:19,320 --> 00:43:22,759
Speaker 1: business competing with USC, just like Lane Kiffen at Old

856
00:43:22,800 --> 00:43:25,960
Speaker 1: Miss has no business competing with L s U and

857
00:43:26,000 --> 00:43:29,960
Speaker 1: Alabama zero and probably even text A and M the

858
00:43:30,000 --> 00:43:32,719
Speaker 1: resources they have that he doesn't. So if he can

859
00:43:32,800 --> 00:43:36,200
Speaker 1: just and an Auburn, if he can just take down

860
00:43:36,200 --> 00:43:38,200
Speaker 1: some of these teams, like he should never beat Alabama

861
00:43:38,200 --> 00:43:40,279
Speaker 1: wise Old Miss. But if he can take out an

862
00:43:40,280 --> 00:43:43,000
Speaker 1: A and M, this L s U team he'll probably beat.

863
00:43:43,040 --> 00:43:45,640
Speaker 1: But just if they're good next year and like one

864
00:43:45,680 --> 00:43:47,640
Speaker 1: of these years, like to me, it just shows he's

865
00:43:47,640 --> 00:43:50,840
Speaker 1: a big time coach in Alabama. Should just go after

866
00:43:50,960 --> 00:43:53,480
Speaker 1: Lane Kiffin. Who who else are they hiring? You wouldn't

867
00:43:53,520 --> 00:43:56,600
Speaker 1: hire Kirby Smart. He can't develop an offense. Their offense

868
00:43:56,680 --> 00:43:58,360
Speaker 1: is a joke. I had someone d M me the

869
00:43:58,440 --> 00:44:01,000
Speaker 1: other night. They're like, what do you think Kirby Smart?

870
00:44:01,040 --> 00:44:03,160
Speaker 1: Why why can't Kirby Smart figure it out? I said, well,

871
00:44:03,360 --> 00:44:06,120
Speaker 1: he's a defensive guy. He had nothing to do with

872
00:44:06,160 --> 00:44:09,520
Speaker 1: recruiting the offensive players at Alabama. He had justin fields

873
00:44:09,520 --> 00:44:11,600
Speaker 1: and he went with from I mean, that's just that

874
00:44:11,640 --> 00:44:14,080
Speaker 1: tells you everything you need to know. And here's the

875
00:44:14,080 --> 00:44:17,319
Speaker 1: other problem for Kirby Smart. Florida now with Dan Dan

876
00:44:17,400 --> 00:44:21,440
Speaker 1: Mollen's big time, his teams are gonna ball. He was

877
00:44:21,520 --> 00:44:24,839
Speaker 1: the offensive guy for I don't know, Urban Meyer. He's

878
00:44:24,960 --> 00:44:27,759
Speaker 1: remember Dak Prescott. Remember for a split second, Mississippi State

879
00:44:27,840 --> 00:44:30,520
Speaker 1: was number one in the country. That was him, And

880
00:44:30,520 --> 00:44:33,960
Speaker 1: now he's got Florida, which is way easier to recruit.

881
00:44:34,719 --> 00:44:38,000
Speaker 1: He basically Mississippi State to Florida is like, uh, you know,

882
00:44:38,080 --> 00:44:41,040
Speaker 1: I'm at this mom and pop electronic shop, right, I mean,

883
00:44:41,160 --> 00:44:46,160
Speaker 1: I just I got this little little electronics shop right downtown. Uh.

884
00:44:46,200 --> 00:44:48,840
Speaker 1: And then he like went to IBM or Dell or

885
00:44:48,880 --> 00:44:51,879
Speaker 1: Apple like it's on, like donkey Kong, Florida is gonna

886
00:44:51,880 --> 00:44:54,319
Speaker 1: be big time. As long as Saban's there, Florida will

887
00:44:54,320 --> 00:44:56,760
Speaker 1: probably now become the second bess team in the conference.

888
00:44:56,840 --> 00:44:59,680
Speaker 1: Dan Molins better coach than at Ocean. I think we all,

889
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:02,800
Speaker 1: even the biggest LSU guys, you'd admit at Ojeron is

890
00:45:02,880 --> 00:45:05,880
Speaker 1: very dependent on other coaches. I like Jimbo Fisher, but

891
00:45:06,280 --> 00:45:11,840
Speaker 1: never won anything in a while, so I think he

892
00:45:11,880 --> 00:45:13,680
Speaker 1: didn't win a national. I like Jimbo Fisher. I'm not

893
00:45:13,719 --> 00:45:15,520
Speaker 1: saying I think Jimbo Fisher is a big time coach.

894
00:45:15,560 --> 00:45:17,040
Speaker 1: But if you had to say, who would you want

895
00:45:17,080 --> 00:45:19,120
Speaker 1: for the next five years, Dan Mullen or Jimbo Fisher

896
00:45:19,800 --> 00:45:21,680
Speaker 1: if you factor in personalities and stuff, and I'm not

897
00:45:21,760 --> 00:45:24,240
Speaker 1: I've heard Mullen can be a dick too, but Jimbo

898
00:45:24,360 --> 00:45:27,960
Speaker 1: can be clearly pretty difficult. I'd probably go Mullin. Just

899
00:45:28,040 --> 00:45:31,960
Speaker 1: keep in mind if Nick Saban retires and Dabbo turns

900
00:45:32,000 --> 00:45:34,160
Speaker 1: them down, because of course you did try to get

901
00:45:34,239 --> 00:45:37,160
Speaker 1: Dabble before you went Lane, I think I think Lane

902
00:45:37,160 --> 00:45:38,600
Speaker 1: would have a chance to be the next in line.

903
00:45:38,640 --> 00:45:40,360
Speaker 1: So if Lane becomes the next day coach at Alabama

904
00:45:40,400 --> 00:45:42,640
Speaker 1: the next three or four years, I just want everyone

905
00:45:42,640 --> 00:45:45,640
Speaker 1: to acknowledge you here to here first, one thing we

906
00:45:45,719 --> 00:45:48,320
Speaker 1: got coming up this weekend. Excuse me not this weekend,

907
00:45:48,320 --> 00:45:53,239
Speaker 1: but Thursday night, as in Thursday night football is a

908
00:45:53,320 --> 00:45:57,640
Speaker 1: game with two guys trending in two different directions and forever.

909
00:45:57,840 --> 00:46:04,040
Speaker 1: This kind of I don't internet meme talking point. I

910
00:46:04,040 --> 00:46:07,520
Speaker 1: don't really know where it started. And listen, I enjoy

911
00:46:07,560 --> 00:46:09,719
Speaker 1: it too because I like this player a lot. But

912
00:46:10,000 --> 00:46:13,480
Speaker 1: let Russ cook well. Right now, the last two weeks,

913
00:46:14,400 --> 00:46:17,239
Speaker 1: Russ has been cooking with no ingredients. His food has

914
00:46:17,239 --> 00:46:20,600
Speaker 1: been terrible. He's played two of the worst games in

915
00:46:20,680 --> 00:46:23,239
Speaker 1: recent memory for Russell Wilson. I mean two weeks ago

916
00:46:23,360 --> 00:46:29,840
Speaker 1: through had four turnovers. Yesterday or Sunday, he was I

917
00:46:29,840 --> 00:46:31,560
Speaker 1: mean he had one of the worst red zone picks

918
00:46:31,640 --> 00:46:33,600
Speaker 1: you'll see him have ever. Pete Carroll said it was

919
00:46:33,600 --> 00:46:36,400
Speaker 1: a terrible decision. He threw two interceptions six turnovers the

920
00:46:36,520 --> 00:46:39,680
Speaker 1: last two weeks. So right now Russ is attempting to

921
00:46:39,719 --> 00:46:42,600
Speaker 1: cook and like there's no uh. He doesn't have any

922
00:46:42,600 --> 00:46:45,760
Speaker 1: firewood to barbecue, and he has no gas at his house.

923
00:46:46,080 --> 00:46:48,560
Speaker 1: His microwave doesn't work, and the food ain't coming out.

924
00:46:49,200 --> 00:46:52,720
Speaker 1: And we've learned with Seattle Is I've said from the jump,

925
00:46:52,960 --> 00:46:57,279
Speaker 1: their defense stinks. And if your defense isn't any good,

926
00:46:58,400 --> 00:47:01,480
Speaker 1: you aren't a Super Bowl content. You can make the playoffs,

927
00:47:01,640 --> 00:47:04,279
Speaker 1: but you can't win the Super Bowl. I think people

928
00:47:04,280 --> 00:47:07,200
Speaker 1: are gonna come around with me and agree they traded

929
00:47:07,200 --> 00:47:10,040
Speaker 1: two ones in a two for a guy who's basically

930
00:47:10,120 --> 00:47:12,919
Speaker 1: a linebacker pass rusher. The problem and he's your strong

931
00:47:13,040 --> 00:47:16,920
Speaker 1: safety like Jamal Adams. It's looking like they paid a

932
00:47:17,040 --> 00:47:20,400
Speaker 1: hundred thirty cents on the dollar, potentially more. I mean,

933
00:47:20,400 --> 00:47:21,960
Speaker 1: he's always banged up. Now, he did make a really

934
00:47:21,960 --> 00:47:24,240
Speaker 1: good play. He's a great pass rusher, but the problem

935
00:47:24,280 --> 00:47:29,120
Speaker 1: is he's your safety, you know, uh not ideal. Then

936
00:47:29,120 --> 00:47:32,560
Speaker 1: on the flip side, you have Kyler Murray, who we

937
00:47:32,680 --> 00:47:37,120
Speaker 1: all have seen probably the play countless times. Now, I

938
00:47:37,280 --> 00:47:40,319
Speaker 1: think that DeAndre Hopkins, who's been one of the best

939
00:47:40,320 --> 00:47:42,680
Speaker 1: wide receivers in the league for a long period of time,

940
00:47:43,719 --> 00:47:46,240
Speaker 1: is getting all the credit. And he made a great play.

941
00:47:46,400 --> 00:47:48,480
Speaker 1: But I heard Sean McDermott say this after the game.

942
00:47:49,400 --> 00:47:52,640
Speaker 1: I I've told these guys over and over and everyone

943
00:47:52,719 --> 00:47:56,719
Speaker 1: knows this. On a Hail Mary drill, the defensive players

944
00:47:56,760 --> 00:47:59,759
Speaker 1: are not there to intercept the ball. You backed the

945
00:47:59,800 --> 00:48:02,839
Speaker 1: ball down and both players, the one right in front

946
00:48:02,880 --> 00:48:05,960
Speaker 1: of DeAndre and right behind DeAndre, tried to pick the

947
00:48:06,000 --> 00:48:10,680
Speaker 1: ball off. Well. DeAndre Hopkins, who's arguably the greatest contested

948
00:48:10,800 --> 00:48:15,000
Speaker 1: catch wide receiver of my lifetime, easily took the ball

949
00:48:15,000 --> 00:48:18,799
Speaker 1: away from those two guys. But and it was a

950
00:48:18,800 --> 00:48:22,799
Speaker 1: great catch. But I like sources say that he makes

951
00:48:22,800 --> 00:48:25,680
Speaker 1: those catches all the time. We've all been watching DeAndre Hopkins.

952
00:48:25,719 --> 00:48:29,440
Speaker 1: He he makes great contested catches. It's his greatest attribute.

953
00:48:29,800 --> 00:48:33,160
Speaker 1: He does that ship with his eyes closed. The best

954
00:48:33,200 --> 00:48:36,360
Speaker 1: part about the play by a mile was the quarterback

955
00:48:37,120 --> 00:48:40,000
Speaker 1: who avoided the rush. There was a guy that was

956
00:48:40,000 --> 00:48:43,919
Speaker 1: gonna sack him. He does like this Alan iverson crossover move,

957
00:48:44,480 --> 00:48:47,759
Speaker 1: jukes him out, keeps rolling at a full sprint to

958
00:48:47,880 --> 00:48:52,280
Speaker 1: his left. Remember he's a right handed quarterback and throws

959
00:48:52,280 --> 00:48:55,160
Speaker 1: a ball basically fifty five yards in the air that

960
00:48:55,239 --> 00:48:57,880
Speaker 1: didn't even have that much arc on It was basically

961
00:48:57,920 --> 00:49:01,040
Speaker 1: a frozen rope that he it is wide receiver in

962
00:49:01,080 --> 00:49:04,000
Speaker 1: the hands. I truly believe this watching it is one

963
00:49:04,000 --> 00:49:06,840
Speaker 1: of the greatest throws I've ever seen in an NFL field.

964
00:49:07,040 --> 00:49:09,600
Speaker 1: I always say to this day, the best throw I've

965
00:49:09,600 --> 00:49:14,239
Speaker 1: ever seen live is two thousand fourteen opening game Candlestick.

966
00:49:14,719 --> 00:49:17,200
Speaker 1: I guess it would have been two thousand thirteen Niners packers.

967
00:49:17,480 --> 00:49:21,040
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers rolls to his left, across his body like

968
00:49:21,200 --> 00:49:24,080
Speaker 1: thirty yards on a rope, hits Jordy Nelson, who drags

969
00:49:24,080 --> 00:49:26,239
Speaker 1: his feet. One of the best. It is the best

970
00:49:26,280 --> 00:49:28,960
Speaker 1: pass I've ever seen live. I think there's a chance

971
00:49:28,960 --> 00:49:31,480
Speaker 1: that the best pass in NFL history when you factor

972
00:49:31,520 --> 00:49:34,719
Speaker 1: in full speed to your left and and his full

973
00:49:34,760 --> 00:49:37,520
Speaker 1: speed is faster than everyone else's full speed. He's a

974
00:49:37,600 --> 00:49:39,839
Speaker 1: right handed quarterback, throws on a rope, hits his guy

975
00:49:39,880 --> 00:49:42,840
Speaker 1: in the hands. Even some of the great Aaron Rodgers

976
00:49:42,880 --> 00:49:44,640
Speaker 1: hail Mary's if you remember, he had to did a

977
00:49:44,640 --> 00:49:46,839
Speaker 1: little bit of scrambling in the back, but when he

978
00:49:46,880 --> 00:49:48,920
Speaker 1: threw it, he was able to set his feet and

979
00:49:48,960 --> 00:49:51,440
Speaker 1: there was no one around him. If I remember correctly,

980
00:49:52,000 --> 00:49:54,959
Speaker 1: this guy is flying out of bounds while he makes

981
00:49:55,000 --> 00:49:59,160
Speaker 1: the throw behind the fifty yard line. But ultimately, my

982
00:49:59,239 --> 00:50:01,560
Speaker 1: point is with the Russell Wilson was gonna win the

983
00:50:01,640 --> 00:50:04,120
Speaker 1: m v P with ease, that no longer is the case.

984
00:50:04,960 --> 00:50:07,240
Speaker 1: Right now, he would not be the m v P now. Granted,

985
00:50:07,280 --> 00:50:09,399
Speaker 1: we don't vote in the middle of November. We voted

986
00:50:09,400 --> 00:50:11,080
Speaker 1: at the end of the season. Not that I have

987
00:50:11,120 --> 00:50:13,560
Speaker 1: a vote, but if I did, I would have voted

988
00:50:13,560 --> 00:50:16,120
Speaker 1: for Russell Wilson two weeks ago. As we sit here now,

989
00:50:16,160 --> 00:50:18,759
Speaker 1: I would not be voting for Russell Wilson. I would

990
00:50:18,800 --> 00:50:22,640
Speaker 1: be Listen Mahomes leader in the clubhouse. He could just

991
00:50:23,000 --> 00:50:24,960
Speaker 1: have a very good chance to win it. Aaron Rodgers

992
00:50:25,080 --> 00:50:27,919
Speaker 1: still playing well, very good chance to win it. There's

993
00:50:27,960 --> 00:50:29,960
Speaker 1: another guy that has now thrown his hat in the ring,

994
00:50:30,600 --> 00:50:33,360
Speaker 1: and that's this little five eight quarterback that has ten

995
00:50:33,760 --> 00:50:37,400
Speaker 1: rushing touchdowns, ten who just hit the game, who just

996
00:50:37,560 --> 00:50:41,040
Speaker 1: made his throw, Kyler Murray. The Arizona Cardinals are not

997
00:50:41,120 --> 00:50:43,560
Speaker 1: a very good team. I don't think their head coach

998
00:50:43,600 --> 00:50:44,880
Speaker 1: is that good. I didn't even think he was that

999
00:50:44,960 --> 00:50:49,239
Speaker 1: good in that game. I don't trust their defense. But

1000
00:50:49,360 --> 00:50:52,440
Speaker 1: he is extraordinary. He has been an m v P

1001
00:50:52,680 --> 00:50:56,160
Speaker 1: level player. If he ends up with thirty passing touchdowns

1002
00:50:56,600 --> 00:50:59,319
Speaker 1: and potentially another twenty on the ground, let's just say

1003
00:50:59,400 --> 00:51:02,239
Speaker 1: let's go because it. Let's say fifteen, he accounts for

1004
00:51:02,239 --> 00:51:05,680
Speaker 1: forty five touchdowns and gets the Cardinals, who have been

1005
00:51:05,680 --> 00:51:08,960
Speaker 1: the last several years an absolute joke. Two years ago

1006
00:51:09,040 --> 00:51:11,040
Speaker 1: had the number one pick in the draft. The year before,

1007
00:51:11,080 --> 00:51:14,359
Speaker 1: we're drafted in the early teens. He gets these guys

1008
00:51:14,360 --> 00:51:16,160
Speaker 1: in the playoffs, potentially a chance to win the division.

1009
00:51:16,200 --> 00:51:19,080
Speaker 1: He plays Russell Wilson on Thursday Night Football. Could this

1010
00:51:19,120 --> 00:51:23,480
Speaker 1: guy get some legitimate MVP consideration because he should. He

1011
00:51:23,560 --> 00:51:27,239
Speaker 1: has been extraordinary. He has an extraordinary talent. He is

1012
00:51:27,280 --> 00:51:29,360
Speaker 1: this generation is Michael Vick, but he's better. I've been

1013
00:51:29,360 --> 00:51:31,839
Speaker 1: saying it over and over, but I'm telling you, if

1014
00:51:31,840 --> 00:51:34,440
Speaker 1: you want, go back and watch that throw, because all

1015
00:51:34,560 --> 00:51:37,640
Speaker 1: anyone's talking about, all anyone's tweeting about in any highlight

1016
00:51:37,640 --> 00:51:40,400
Speaker 1: you see is the catch. The best part of the

1017
00:51:40,440 --> 00:51:43,600
Speaker 1: play is the throw and what led to the throw.

1018
00:51:44,480 --> 00:51:48,160
Speaker 1: He is an extraordinary talent who is playing. I thought

1019
00:51:48,160 --> 00:51:51,000
Speaker 1: he was gonna be good. He is by far exceeding

1020
00:51:51,000 --> 00:51:54,000
Speaker 1: my expectations. I don't care what some of the people

1021
00:51:54,000 --> 00:51:56,720
Speaker 1: with the Cardinals tell you. Beside Cliff Kingsbury, they couldn't

1022
00:51:56,840 --> 00:52:00,160
Speaker 1: envision this. And even Cliff, I'd imagine if you were

1023
00:52:00,160 --> 00:52:02,439
Speaker 1: having a cocktail, sit there on the couch, and he'd

1024
00:52:02,440 --> 00:52:04,760
Speaker 1: be honest with you. He even might say I didn't

1025
00:52:04,800 --> 00:52:06,920
Speaker 1: think he was gonna be this good of an NFL player.

1026
00:52:07,800 --> 00:52:11,160
Speaker 1: Well he is. He's extraordinary, and he's got a chance

1027
00:52:11,200 --> 00:52:14,040
Speaker 1: to kind of end Russell Wilson's kind of m v

1028
00:52:14,160 --> 00:52:17,000
Speaker 1: P talk and kind of throw his hat directly into

1029
00:52:17,000 --> 00:52:20,080
Speaker 1: the middle of the ring. Okay, let's bang out a

1030
00:52:20,120 --> 00:52:22,160
Speaker 1: couple of middle calf mail bad questions. I still need

1031
00:52:22,200 --> 00:52:25,640
Speaker 1: to get a new iPhone because Steve Jobs or I

1032
00:52:25,640 --> 00:52:28,560
Speaker 1: guess Steve Jobs no longer with us. Tim Cook and

1033
00:52:28,719 --> 00:52:30,759
Speaker 1: the rest of his cronies are are messing with me.

1034
00:52:31,120 --> 00:52:34,000
Speaker 1: A lot of you guys damn me and said the

1035
00:52:34,040 --> 00:52:36,880
Speaker 1: same things are happening to you guys. So I I

1036
00:52:36,920 --> 00:52:39,360
Speaker 1: feel justified in my in my craziness, I thought I

1037
00:52:39,360 --> 00:52:42,160
Speaker 1: was losing my mind, but at John Middlecoff is my

1038
00:52:42,200 --> 00:52:44,960
Speaker 1: Instagram account and that I will look on my h

1039
00:52:45,320 --> 00:52:46,759
Speaker 1: on my iPhone. Hopefully I'll get a new one in

1040
00:52:46,800 --> 00:52:48,520
Speaker 1: the next couple of days. They just haven't got him

1041
00:52:48,520 --> 00:52:54,080
Speaker 1: in Non Rookie Quarterback Rookie Non Quarterback Rookie of the Year.

1042
00:52:54,600 --> 00:52:59,120
Speaker 1: It's a good question, Tristan Whorf's. I mean, it never

1043
00:52:59,160 --> 00:53:02,840
Speaker 1: goes to an offensive lineman. But he's been really, really good.

1044
00:53:03,360 --> 00:53:08,080
Speaker 1: All these wide receivers have been sweet, right, Jerry Judy

1045
00:53:08,320 --> 00:53:11,520
Speaker 1: Ruggs doesn't have much production, but he's awesome. Ceedee Lamb

1046
00:53:11,600 --> 00:53:15,880
Speaker 1: was good until the quarterback got hurt. Justin Jefferson makes plays.

1047
00:53:15,920 --> 00:53:21,120
Speaker 1: Brandon and you has been a stud. Uh yeah, I'll

1048
00:53:21,120 --> 00:53:26,759
Speaker 1: just I'll go with I'll go with Worf's. Tampa has

1049
00:53:26,760 --> 00:53:28,920
Speaker 1: had a good draft. I mean Winfield to Winfield has

1050
00:53:28,920 --> 00:53:31,279
Speaker 1: been a stud. I'll go with Worfs get Sometimes you

1051
00:53:31,280 --> 00:53:33,399
Speaker 1: gotta give the big heavy some love. They just getting

1052
00:53:33,440 --> 00:53:35,919
Speaker 1: to love. They get paid, but they don't get any love.

1053
00:53:38,800 --> 00:53:40,759
Speaker 1: I never missed a podcast. I know I've heard you

1054
00:53:40,760 --> 00:53:43,839
Speaker 1: speak favorably of Eddio, but as an L s U fan,

1055
00:53:44,000 --> 00:53:45,640
Speaker 1: I need to know what the heck is going on.

1056
00:53:45,760 --> 00:53:48,719
Speaker 1: Programs don't turn south this quick. Clemson, Ohio State in

1057
00:53:48,760 --> 00:53:51,040
Speaker 1: Bama loose tons of guys to the NFL, just like

1058
00:53:51,200 --> 00:53:53,440
Speaker 1: L s U did, But they don't fall off a

1059
00:53:53,480 --> 00:53:58,360
Speaker 1: cliff like we have any insight. I think it's pretty simple.

1060
00:53:59,520 --> 00:54:03,200
Speaker 1: Edo's you're on. Nick Saban is the brains of the operation.

1061
00:54:03,960 --> 00:54:06,880
Speaker 1: He can coach the defense, He's running all the recruiting.

1062
00:54:07,200 --> 00:54:12,960
Speaker 1: Everything revolves around him. Last year at Oseron is a

1063
00:54:13,280 --> 00:54:15,719
Speaker 1: makes a big deal for that university and recruiting. He

1064
00:54:15,840 --> 00:54:20,120
Speaker 1: is a great recruiter, He's a good motivator. Guys like him.

1065
00:54:20,160 --> 00:54:23,719
Speaker 1: He knows nothing about scheme. He's not the defensive coordinator.

1066
00:54:23,840 --> 00:54:27,200
Speaker 1: He surely isn't the offensive coordinator. Nick Saban at the

1067
00:54:27,239 --> 00:54:31,480
Speaker 1: end of the day, is neither. But it's the defense

1068
00:54:31,600 --> 00:54:35,560
Speaker 1: is his baby, and nothing offense or defensively goes on

1069
00:54:35,640 --> 00:54:39,280
Speaker 1: that field without him having a hand in it. Here's

1070
00:54:39,280 --> 00:54:41,240
Speaker 1: the other thing Saban has done for a long period

1071
00:54:41,280 --> 00:54:45,600
Speaker 1: of time. When good head coaches get fired, he puts

1072
00:54:45,600 --> 00:54:49,520
Speaker 1: them on the staff as analysts because his coordinators always

1073
00:54:49,520 --> 00:54:52,799
Speaker 1: get jobs, and then those guys become his coordinators, so

1074
00:54:52,840 --> 00:54:56,480
Speaker 1: we always has a pipeline at Ogeron to no fault

1075
00:54:56,480 --> 00:54:59,400
Speaker 1: of his own, they had a historic season, lost all

1076
00:54:59,400 --> 00:55:03,000
Speaker 1: of his coaches, his offensive coach and his defensive coach.

1077
00:55:03,040 --> 00:55:05,440
Speaker 1: To me, it's less about the players. LCS players are

1078
00:55:05,440 --> 00:55:09,560
Speaker 1: always sweet. It's about the coaches. Losing the defensive coordinator

1079
00:55:09,600 --> 00:55:13,120
Speaker 1: for Polini like Poliny stinks, dude they had last year

1080
00:55:13,200 --> 00:55:15,720
Speaker 1: was a big time coach like Joe Brady. It's pretty

1081
00:55:15,719 --> 00:55:21,440
Speaker 1: clear watching the Panthers he's a stud. Saban went from

1082
00:55:21,680 --> 00:55:26,600
Speaker 1: mcwaane to lane two. Now he's got sark like his

1083
00:55:26,640 --> 00:55:29,640
Speaker 1: coordinators are always sweet. Locksley that they just always have

1084
00:55:29,719 --> 00:55:34,000
Speaker 1: big time coordinators. Defensively, must Champ. Think about the guys

1085
00:55:34,000 --> 00:55:38,480
Speaker 1: he's at Kirby. He just gets high level coordinators. That

1086
00:55:38,480 --> 00:55:42,840
Speaker 1: that is the key to their success. Clemson, they just

1087
00:55:42,880 --> 00:55:45,080
Speaker 1: pay the guys like three million dollars to be coordinators.

1088
00:55:45,120 --> 00:55:47,280
Speaker 1: They don't lose anybody. He's had the same offensive defensive

1089
00:55:47,320 --> 00:55:50,200
Speaker 1: coordinator the whole time. The defensive coordinator makes two and

1090
00:55:50,239 --> 00:55:52,719
Speaker 1: a half a million dollars. The o C who's kind

1091
00:55:52,760 --> 00:55:54,759
Speaker 1: of in the mix for offensive coordinator jobs in the

1092
00:55:54,840 --> 00:55:56,480
Speaker 1: NFL and he's gonna get one. I think his name

1093
00:55:56,520 --> 00:56:00,719
Speaker 1: is Tony Elliott. He makes huge coin those guys make.

1094
00:56:01,040 --> 00:56:04,400
Speaker 1: I mean that Brett Venables is paid like he's the

1095
00:56:04,400 --> 00:56:06,560
Speaker 1: head coach at like prisonal State, but he's the defensive

1096
00:56:06,560 --> 00:56:09,479
Speaker 1: coordinator Clemson. And you know what I said this about

1097
00:56:09,480 --> 00:56:13,400
Speaker 1: Todd Bowls, there's nothing wrong like this isn't You're not

1098
00:56:13,440 --> 00:56:16,880
Speaker 1: the middle management at at safe Way. You're not making

1099
00:56:16,920 --> 00:56:19,919
Speaker 1: sent k. You don't aspire to get to like run

1100
00:56:19,960 --> 00:56:23,279
Speaker 1: your own safe Way. When you're the defensive coordinator for

1101
00:56:23,320 --> 00:56:25,560
Speaker 1: an offensive head coach and you're getting two and a

1102
00:56:25,560 --> 00:56:28,839
Speaker 1: half million dollars and you're winning national championships all the time,

1103
00:56:29,239 --> 00:56:32,919
Speaker 1: this is an incredible job. Like those guys have great jobs,

1104
00:56:32,920 --> 00:56:36,640
Speaker 1: they don't leave Clemson. Ohio State is just just a

1105
00:56:36,680 --> 00:56:38,680
Speaker 1: better program than L. S U. I mean, it's just

1106
00:56:38,840 --> 00:56:42,279
Speaker 1: it's hard. It's just a fact. I mean, i'd say, consistently,

1107
00:56:42,320 --> 00:56:44,480
Speaker 1: over the last couple of decades, Ohio States the number

1108
00:56:44,520 --> 00:56:47,799
Speaker 1: one program in the country. They have been consistently the best.

1109
00:56:47,960 --> 00:56:49,840
Speaker 1: I know, they had a moment when Tressell got in trouble,

1110
00:56:49,880 --> 00:56:52,160
Speaker 1: but I'd say the last two decades they have consistently

1111
00:56:52,200 --> 00:56:55,960
Speaker 1: been the best. And they look unreal now. Obviously Bama

1112
00:56:56,000 --> 00:56:59,080
Speaker 1: with Saban for a decade has been unreal, Clemson with

1113
00:56:59,239 --> 00:57:02,279
Speaker 1: Dabbo has been unreal. But Ohio State, now we've seen

1114
00:57:02,280 --> 00:57:05,680
Speaker 1: with multiple coaches kicked the ship out of people, Trestle,

1115
00:57:06,320 --> 00:57:09,680
Speaker 1: Reben obviously in Ryan day now like they're big, they're

1116
00:57:09,719 --> 00:57:13,640
Speaker 1: just they're the best program, you know, and L s U. Like,

1117
00:57:14,000 --> 00:57:16,560
Speaker 1: let's call spade a spade. They are an elite program,

1118
00:57:16,600 --> 00:57:19,360
Speaker 1: they get elite players. But when it comes to success,

1119
00:57:19,440 --> 00:57:24,600
Speaker 1: like they've had a little harder time, they haven't had quarterbacks. Um,

1120
00:57:24,640 --> 00:57:29,400
Speaker 1: I just it just kind of is what it is,

1121
00:57:29,640 --> 00:57:31,240
Speaker 1: you know. I mean, at the end of the day

1122
00:57:31,240 --> 00:57:33,440
Speaker 1: at Oceanan is just not Nick Saban and so if

1123
00:57:33,440 --> 00:57:35,320
Speaker 1: you look at it like that, like look at Kirby smart,

1124
00:57:35,400 --> 00:57:37,200
Speaker 1: like this team is not as good this year. I

1125
00:57:37,240 --> 00:57:41,520
Speaker 1: think the second best coach in the SEC is Dan Mullen. Well,

1126
00:57:41,240 --> 00:57:43,120
Speaker 1: I think Jim was pretty good too, but I think

1127
00:57:43,200 --> 00:57:44,880
Speaker 1: Dan mullin is really good. Should Big Ben be in

1128
00:57:44,920 --> 00:57:48,680
Speaker 1: the m v P consideration? Someone hit me up, I

1129
00:57:48,920 --> 00:57:53,760
Speaker 1: honestly didn't watch a snap of Steelers Bengals. I was

1130
00:57:53,760 --> 00:57:55,480
Speaker 1: was that. Yeah, that was an early morning game. I

1131
00:57:55,520 --> 00:57:58,240
Speaker 1: had the Masters on a red zone. Maybe I watched

1132
00:57:58,240 --> 00:58:01,000
Speaker 1: a couple of snaps. I saw, uh, what's his name?

1133
00:58:01,040 --> 00:58:03,840
Speaker 1: That Notre Dame kid get a touchdown, but I was

1134
00:58:04,000 --> 00:58:07,720
Speaker 1: I was much more locked into the Masters. And someone

1135
00:58:07,800 --> 00:58:10,920
Speaker 1: DM means, like, bro, you need to watch that game

1136
00:58:11,160 --> 00:58:14,240
Speaker 1: because obviously it's cold. I have nothing but respect for

1137
00:58:14,240 --> 00:58:16,920
Speaker 1: the FC North, even the bad teams like the Bengals.

1138
00:58:17,040 --> 00:58:20,800
Speaker 1: I guess the Browns aren't bad, but they As a

1139
00:58:20,800 --> 00:58:25,720
Speaker 1: California guy who despises the cold, I respect the hell

1140
00:58:25,720 --> 00:58:27,919
Speaker 1: out of people that play in ten degrees when it's

1141
00:58:28,080 --> 00:58:30,760
Speaker 1: raining and snowing like that is those guys are badasses.

1142
00:58:31,840 --> 00:58:34,160
Speaker 1: And the d m R said, you gotta you gotta

1143
00:58:34,240 --> 00:58:38,000
Speaker 1: look Ben's ball in that you know, just the elements

1144
00:58:38,000 --> 00:58:40,880
Speaker 1: going right through the wind. Burrow's ball kind of hung up.

1145
00:58:41,640 --> 00:58:43,560
Speaker 1: And I haven't watched it yet, but the reality is,

1146
00:58:43,600 --> 00:58:46,400
Speaker 1: like Burrow doesn't have a great arm, and that is

1147
00:58:46,480 --> 00:58:50,640
Speaker 1: one problem in that the elements, like Lamar doesn't have

1148
00:58:50,640 --> 00:58:54,640
Speaker 1: a great arm. You know, Flacco obviously became a terrible player,

1149
00:58:54,640 --> 00:58:56,360
Speaker 1: but he had a couple of years there, Like you

1150
00:58:56,400 --> 00:58:59,000
Speaker 1: need to have a big time arm to succeed in

1151
00:58:59,040 --> 00:59:03,560
Speaker 1: that division. Carson Palmer with the Bengals ben for fifteen years,

1152
00:59:03,560 --> 00:59:07,520
Speaker 1: Like it's a grown ass man's division. Because it is

1153
00:59:07,680 --> 00:59:13,960
Speaker 1: freezing cold in all four venues, certain divisions like the

1154
00:59:14,120 --> 00:59:16,960
Speaker 1: f C West, for example, in Kansas City and Denver

1155
00:59:17,040 --> 00:59:19,520
Speaker 1: in December and in late November, it can get really cold.

1156
00:59:19,960 --> 00:59:22,360
Speaker 1: In l A. It's never gonna get cold, one because

1157
00:59:22,520 --> 00:59:24,000
Speaker 1: l A and two because they play in a dome.

1158
00:59:24,360 --> 00:59:26,160
Speaker 1: And now in Vegas they also play in a dome,

1159
00:59:26,640 --> 00:59:29,360
Speaker 1: so it's not like two places they're cold. But in

1160
00:59:29,440 --> 00:59:35,080
Speaker 1: the a f C North, the entire place is cold. Cincinnati, Baltimore, Pittsburgh,

1161
00:59:35,120 --> 00:59:37,360
Speaker 1: in Cleveland, like and those are I mean, those are

1162
00:59:37,480 --> 00:59:41,120
Speaker 1: tough asked hounds. So I don't think Big Bend can

1163
00:59:41,160 --> 00:59:43,520
Speaker 1: win the m v P, but he'd be their team

1164
00:59:43,600 --> 00:59:46,000
Speaker 1: MVP if he leads him right to the playoffs, which

1165
00:59:46,040 --> 00:59:47,920
Speaker 1: he's going to. Obviously they're undefeated, but I just mean,

1166
00:59:47,960 --> 00:59:50,360
Speaker 1: like a legit chance of Super Bowl? What the hell

1167
00:59:50,440 --> 00:59:53,560
Speaker 1: you think was Lamar thinking these are Brady's These are

1168
00:59:53,560 --> 00:59:57,560
Speaker 1: not Brady's Patriots just with Cam a quarterback. I bet

1169
00:59:57,600 --> 01:00:01,680
Speaker 1: they their first in the a f C with Brady. Uh,

1170
01:00:01,720 --> 01:00:04,720
Speaker 1: no chance that the Patriots are not very good. I

1171
01:00:04,800 --> 01:00:06,680
Speaker 1: just think that the Ravens ran into kind of a

1172
01:00:06,720 --> 01:00:10,600
Speaker 1: bud saw. They're playing their offenses sputtering there and shambles,

1173
01:00:10,640 --> 01:00:13,760
Speaker 1: but they would not be very good with Brady either

1174
01:00:14,520 --> 01:00:17,880
Speaker 1: at all. I mean Brady the offensive skill guys Cam's

1175
01:00:17,920 --> 01:00:20,840
Speaker 1: dealing with. I just watched probably a second half of

1176
01:00:20,840 --> 01:00:23,560
Speaker 1: the Sunday night game. Cam made some plays with his legs,

1177
01:00:23,720 --> 01:00:26,800
Speaker 1: like they just don't have any weapons. They're running run

1178
01:00:26,840 --> 01:00:30,560
Speaker 1: oriented team, try to play defense. Brady would They'd be

1179
01:00:30,640 --> 01:00:35,120
Speaker 1: terrible with Brady. Let me let me rephrase that they

1180
01:00:35,160 --> 01:00:38,240
Speaker 1: would not be any they'd be maybe have one more

1181
01:00:38,280 --> 01:00:41,040
Speaker 1: win with Brady, but maybe not. I don't think they'd

1182
01:00:41,040 --> 01:00:49,880
Speaker 1: be any good. Okay, audios appreciate it, everyone listening. Uh,

1183
01:00:50,240 --> 01:00:54,400
Speaker 1: have a good week and I'll see a Friday. So

1184
01:00:54,520 --> 01:00:55,800
Speaker 1: I think we got it. We got a really good

1185
01:00:55,800 --> 01:01:02,040
Speaker 1: Thursday night game against the See how old Arizona can't wait.

1186
01:01:02,840 --> 01:01:06,000
Speaker 1: Keep your head up and talk to you guys soon. Peace.

1187
