My people? 34 00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:59,000 Speaker 1: What a moment for McCarthy who goes into his hometown 35 00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:06,280 Speaker 1: with his sixty million dollar quarterback, gets the ball, He's down? 36 00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:10,880 Speaker 1: What was he been down? He was down four points 37 00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:14,560 Speaker 1: with five minutes to go, and Dak Prescots leads him 38 00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:18,840 Speaker 1: on a fifteen play drive wins the game on fourth down. 39 00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:21,640 Speaker 1: What a moment for the Cowboys. What a moment for 40 00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:25,040 Speaker 1: McCarthy and Dak even Jerry, who Steven went in for 41 00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:26,400 Speaker 1: the hug and it looked like Jerry might have a 42 00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:30,919 Speaker 1: heart attack or something. Rough night for Pittsburgh. I'm sorry. 43 00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:35,239 Speaker 1: You get that many, create that many turnovers, TJ Watts 44 00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:38,160 Speaker 1: dominating at that level, you gotta win that game. So 45 00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:40,959 Speaker 1: we will dive into that. We'll do a little overrated 46 00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:43,880 Speaker 1: Underrated on just some things that happened today and yesterday 47 00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:48,800 Speaker 1: that I want to touch on, because a lot of 48 00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:53,520 Speaker 1: crazy stuff happened. I mean, Alabama lost to Vanderbilt, so 49 00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:56,560 Speaker 1: and obviously some other crazy stuff. I mean, the forty 50 00:02:56,639 --> 00:03:01,400 Speaker 1: nine ers lost to the Arizona Cardinals, and Daniel Jones 51 00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:03,800 Speaker 1: kind of looked really good on the road in Seattle. 52 00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:08,560 Speaker 1: So the Bengals are one and four and they went 53 00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:10,799 Speaker 1: to overtime in a game where they scored thirty eight 54 00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:16,840 Speaker 1: points in regulation. How often does that happen? Can't be often, 55 00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:19,640 Speaker 1: Not in the NFL, not in the AFC North. So 56 00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:22,400 Speaker 1: we'll do a little Overrated Underrated. We'll have a podcast 57 00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:26,880 Speaker 1: obviously all week long. We'll have one tomorrow React in 58 00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:28,920 Speaker 1: the Monday night game, which a pretty good game. The 59 00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:33,239 Speaker 1: Chiefs Saints pretty excited for that one. See my guy 60 00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:36,400 Speaker 1: Derek Carr get back against Andy Reid old little Raider 61 00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:41,839 Speaker 1: chief rivalry. Dennis Aunt actually coach Raiders too, so that'll 62 00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:43,680 Speaker 1: be fun. I don't know if you want to coach 63 00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:45,640 Speaker 1: the Raiders. That's probably not great for business. But well 64 00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:47,560 Speaker 1: we'll dive into that as well. People think I'm a hater, 65 00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:50,520 Speaker 1: but hey, they got kurb stomped today by the Denver 66 00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:53,520 Speaker 1: Broncos and we'll do a big mail bag tomorrow. So 67 00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:57,000 Speaker 1: at John Middlecoffe is the Instagram fire in those dms, 68 00:03:57,120 --> 00:04:00,480 Speaker 1: you guys know the drill and some described to the 69 00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:03,000 Speaker 1: podcast if you listen. We also got a YouTube channel 70 00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:05,040 Speaker 1: a lot of content up, so go search the YouTube 71 00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:09,520 Speaker 1: channel John Middlecoff subscribe to that bad boy as well. Yeah, 72 00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:14,080 Speaker 1: we'll keep the content firing. But first, before we dive 73 00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:17,040 Speaker 1: into some football, I got to tell you about my friends, 74 00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:20,600 Speaker 1: my partners in the official ticketing app of this podcast. 75 00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:23,360 Speaker 1: Game time. Do you want to go to a game? 76 00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:28,479 Speaker 1: I've been watching some playoff baseball games. They look awesome, obviously, 77 00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:32,719 Speaker 1: some of these college atmospheres. Vanderbilt beat Alabama and took 78 00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:36,840 Speaker 1: the goalpost I think like over ten miles down the 79 00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:39,720 Speaker 1: road and threw it into the river, So you want 80 00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:41,080 Speaker 1: to be a part of one of these things. I 81 00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:42,880 Speaker 1: used to go to col games when I was growing 82 00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:46,320 Speaker 1: up with my dad, and that place was rocking it 83 00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:49,880 Speaker 1: last night against Miami. I stayed up till like midnight 84 00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:52,800 Speaker 1: watching that thing, Miami come back. But you know, you 85 00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:54,320 Speaker 1: used to be able to get tickets cheap. Now that 86 00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:56,200 Speaker 1: the Cow's not bad, I bet it was kind of expensive. 87 00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:58,960 Speaker 1: And that's where my friends at game Time. So take 88 00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:00,359 Speaker 1: the guests work kind of buying t I guess with 89 00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:03,200 Speaker 1: game Time.

You know what is always guaranteed when you 94 00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:24,240 Speaker 1: watch the Cowboys. Dak is one of the more bizarre 95 00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:29,600 Speaker 1: players I think I've ever watched, because no guy can 96 00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:33,600 Speaker 1: throw worst picks right. He does that consistently, He's done 97 00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:36,479 Speaker 1: it in big moments, and then no guy can lead 98 00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:41,240 Speaker 1: his team on the road undermanned. They got no running game. 99 00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:45,200 Speaker 1: He's got offensive line injuries. Hell, the best offensive lineman 100 00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:47,560 Speaker 1: he's probably ever played with or one of them. Has 101 00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:49,960 Speaker 1: literally never got a cramp in his entire life, starts 102 00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:54,960 Speaker 1: getting attacked with cramps, leads him fifteen plays, seventy yards 103 00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:59,279 Speaker 1: touchdown on fourth down. The same guy that threw an 104 00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:03,120 Speaker 1: awful red zone pick. His interception later in the game 105 00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:07,080 Speaker 1: on the deep ball to Joey Porter Junior wasn't even close. 106 00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:10,240 Speaker 1: Like in a vacuum. He can have these plays. You're like, 107 00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:15,160 Speaker 1: is that Deshaun Watson? And then he can lead a drive, 108 00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:19,240 Speaker 1: You're like, is that Patrick Mahomes. That's where I think 109 00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:23,000 Speaker 1: it's so maddening, right, It's like, listen, there's value in 110 00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:25,599 Speaker 1: everything he's done and what he brings to the Cowboys 111 00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:32,159 Speaker 1: character wise, intangible wise. His regular season record speaks for itself. 112 00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:38,080 Speaker 1: Him and the head coach have clearly a fantastic relationship, right, 113 00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:41,560 Speaker 1: Mike's Pittsburgh guy. They show it on the broadcast that 114 00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:44,320 Speaker 1: they went. I don't know if it's like his the 115 00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:46,560 Speaker 1: home he grew up in. Just go see family and 116 00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:50,760 Speaker 1: who's there two guys Cooper Rush and Dak Prescott. I 117 00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:55,320 Speaker 1: guess Trey Lance not on that group text. But there's 118 00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:57,680 Speaker 1: so much that he brings to the table. And then 119 00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:01,200 Speaker 1: there are moments like I went to dinner, we got delayed. 120 00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:02,600 Speaker 1: I was hungry. I was like, yeah, let's just go 121 00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:04,760 Speaker 1: out to dinner. The game's not even starting to like seven, 122 00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:07,440 Speaker 1: so I basically watched the first half at a steakhouse 123 00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:09,800 Speaker 1: and it's on mute, right, so you're just watching it 124 00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:12,960 Speaker 1: on the TV. In the background. You see Guiden go out, 125 00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:15,960 Speaker 1: you see a defensive lineman go out. You're like, they're 126 00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:20,920 Speaker 1: coming in undermanned. They got no shot to win this game. None. 127 00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:23,880 Speaker 1: It's like they're defenses and shambles. And then we'll get 128 00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:26,040 Speaker 1: into the Steelers here in a minute, you realize, like 129 00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:29,760 Speaker 1: Pittsburgh doesn't have the offense to take advantage. I don't 130 00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:32,560 Speaker 1: care who's out there playing defense for the Cowboys, but 131 00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:36,160 Speaker 1: Mike and Dak, like it's not really arguable at this point, 132 00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:41,360 Speaker 1: have a pretty good chemistry rapport and thing going now, 133 00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:45,160 Speaker 1: Like I don't blame some of these picks on the 134 00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:49,320 Speaker 1: coaching staff, Like Dak, there's a there's a fucking defender 135 00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:52,400 Speaker 1: right there who's gonna easily undercut it, and he throws 136 00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:55,280 Speaker 1: it right to him, and he has a tendency of 137 00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:59,080 Speaker 1: throwing for a good player consistently, some of the worst 138 00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:02,520 Speaker 1: interceptions and he got very, very lucky that they were 139 00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:06,240 Speaker 1: playing an offense that had they give you two pit 140 00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:11,040 Speaker 1: interceptions and a fumble and you can't win the game 141 00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:16,080 Speaker 1: at home like that. That's unacceptable, but they couldn't, and 142 00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:18,080 Speaker 1: they had the opportunity at the end of the game 143 00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:19,960 Speaker 1: get the ball back and Dak leads him down the field. 144 00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:23,440 Speaker 1: And tonight, I mean, you saw some semblance of a 145 00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:27,880 Speaker 1: running game that Dwaddle guy was was running pretty hard. 146 00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:31,040 Speaker 1: But I wouldn't exactly call the Cowboys, you know, the 147 00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:35,120 Speaker 1: ninety three version with with em At Smith running behind 148 00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:36,839 Speaker 1: one of the great offensive lines in the history of 149 00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:39,640 Speaker 1: the league. So they're very dependent on him. They really 150 00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:43,319 Speaker 1: just got one wide receiver. Cooks is out I like Ferguson, 151 00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:48,240 Speaker 1: but like that they're not. You know, Michael Irvins isn't 152 00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:52,079 Speaker 1: out there with CD and he can just like his rhythm, 153 00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:55,960 Speaker 1: his poise, how confident he is when he feels like 154 00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:58,719 Speaker 1: he knows where he's gonna go with the ball and 155 00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:01,760 Speaker 1: it and the playworks, because sometimes I think he gets 156 00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:06,360 Speaker 1: stuck on a route and listen to a lot of quarterbacks. 157 00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:08,839 Speaker 1: He's not alone. But I think one thing that makes 158 00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:12,760 Speaker 1: like the Brady's and the Peyton's and not this version 159 00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:16,600 Speaker 1: of Aaron, but like Aaron in his heyday is obviously 160 00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:18,679 Speaker 1: they know where they want to go with the football, 161 00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:21,160 Speaker 1: but if they see something that freaks them out, they 162 00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:23,439 Speaker 1: will turn to someone else in a millisecond and get 163 00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:26,240 Speaker 1: rid of that ball. I think sometimes Dak has like 164 00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:29,560 Speaker 1: basically got to the line and he already knows where 165 00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:32,400 Speaker 1: he's going with that ball, regardless of what you're doing. 166 00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:34,720 Speaker 1: He's pretty confident it's going to work. And then sometimes 167 00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:36,800 Speaker 1: there's just a dB sitting right there and Dak hits 168 00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:41,120 Speaker 1: him in the hands. But I like, I have moments 169 00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:43,440 Speaker 1: where you're watching him on that final drive and I've 170 00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:47,320 Speaker 1: come along, I've come around on Dak like I'm a fan. 171 00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:51,280 Speaker 1: But that was really impressive. That was fun to watch. 172 00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:53,080 Speaker 1: I was in a weird way. I didn't have money 173 00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:55,000 Speaker 1: on this game. I don't really care about either one 174 00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:57,000 Speaker 1: of these teams in the sense of like rooting for 175 00:09:57,000 --> 00:09:59,199 Speaker 1: one to lose or one to win. I did think 176 00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:01,360 Speaker 1: it would be a pretty coo moment if Dak let 177 00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:05,520 Speaker 1: him on a game winning drive for Mike and obviously 178 00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:07,400 Speaker 1: the cameras immediately when he throws a touchdown, go to 179 00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:09,920 Speaker 1: McCarthy and he's getting bar hugged by like seven different 180 00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:12,599 Speaker 1: guys like Dak's dumman. He knows what it means for 181 00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:15,080 Speaker 1: us for the head coach to do that in Pittsburgh. 182 00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:18,120 Speaker 1: Then you got Mike Tomlin calling a time out at 183 00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:19,720 Speaker 1: you know, on the fourth down. It's like, bro, you 184 00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:22,520 Speaker 1: if they score here, you're gonna need that time out. 185 00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:24,920 Speaker 1: You probably want to keep that thing in your back pocket. 186 00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:28,600 Speaker 1: But yeah, man, that was that was a big, big 187 00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:31,400 Speaker 1: time drive for a team with a million injuries, that 188 00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:34,600 Speaker 1: has so much money in street clothes right now, and 189 00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:38,240 Speaker 1: their quarterback just just came through and their coach, and 190 00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:42,480 Speaker 1: like I said, you can't really debate where we sit now, 191 00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:46,240 Speaker 1: like this marriage between those two guys. If the most 192 00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:49,840 Speaker 1: important guy you have on your team is the guy 193 00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:53,599 Speaker 1: you're paying the most money by a country mile, Dak Prescott, 194 00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:56,199 Speaker 1: and that guy works hand in hand with your head 195 00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:59,200 Speaker 1: coach who's also your offensive play caller, and they work 196 00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:03,840 Speaker 1: well together, you're gonna fire that guy. That's where I 197 00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:06,400 Speaker 1: keep getting back to, like the Sirianni thing. We always 198 00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:11,000 Speaker 1: get back to, what does Cirianni do Sala It's like, well, 199 00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:13,320 Speaker 1: he's the defensive guy, tough guy, okay, but he's not 200 00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:19,280 Speaker 1: actually calling the defense. This year, Brian Dabele, Daniel Jones 201 00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:22,319 Speaker 1: is playing well, It's like, what's what's Brian Dabele doing. Oh, 202 00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:27,640 Speaker 1: he's calling the place. He is the offensive coordinator. And 203 00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:29,680 Speaker 1: if you would have told me a couple of years ago, Hey, Mike, 204 00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:32,280 Speaker 1: they're gonna you know, force kelling out. He's gonna take over, 205 00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:36,080 Speaker 1: how would it go? Obviously I wouldn't say it's gonna 206 00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:39,559 Speaker 1: be terrible. It's not like Mike's ntt Hackett. But I 207 00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:42,680 Speaker 1: probably would have said in twenty twenty four or twenty 208 00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:45,120 Speaker 1: three and twenty four you would have said, what the 209 00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:47,120 Speaker 1: next year and a half is gonna look like? Yeah, 210 00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:50,080 Speaker 1: probably could be a little rocky, and it's it's been 211 00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:52,640 Speaker 1: really good and they've come through in big time moments. 212 00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:56,040 Speaker 1: So props the Cowboys forgetting a gritty win. To me, 213 00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:59,880 Speaker 1: when you look at the Steelers, what it's funny because 214 00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:03,800 Speaker 1: whenever these two teams they don't play that often, but 215 00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:08,520 Speaker 1: when they're synonymous with this TJ. Watt draft pick, because 216 00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:11,880 Speaker 1: the Cowboys took Taco Charlton, who's like out of the 217 00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:15,280 Speaker 1: league like three or four years later over TJ Watt 218 00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:18,600 Speaker 1: they drafted and he's a defensive end at twenty eight 219 00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:21,840 Speaker 1: and TJ goes thirty. And I just texted like people 220 00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:25,160 Speaker 1: that a couple executives at night after TJ looks like, 221 00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:28,080 Speaker 1: I don't know, like the white guy version of Lawrence Taylor. 222 00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:31,880 Speaker 1: It's like this guy, this guy's fucking unblock. What are 223 00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:35,800 Speaker 1: you supposed to do? Tight ends gets tossed, tackles have 224 00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:39,320 Speaker 1: no chance. It's not like he's just speed. He's got power. 225 00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:42,960 Speaker 1: He's got these like counter under moves, and if you 226 00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:46,600 Speaker 1: don't set really really fast, he's on the edge so 227 00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:51,040 Speaker 1: quick that you're screwed. It's like this guy doesn't even 228 00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:54,559 Speaker 1: His brother, to me, was obviously pretty special Hall of 229 00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:57,520 Speaker 1: Fame level talent, but power was such a big part 230 00:12:57,520 --> 00:13:02,480 Speaker 1: of this JJ's game. TJ has like the ultimate combo. 231 00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:05,080 Speaker 1: I'm not saying he's JJ or Khalil Mack power wise, 232 00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:11,080 Speaker 1: but his speed is so potent that these offensive linemen 233 00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:13,760 Speaker 1: always feel kind of on their heels and then he 234 00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:17,160 Speaker 1: can throttle them and it's just chaos. Whatever ninety is. 235 00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:21,439 Speaker 1: So I'm texting my scouting buddies and I go, how 236 00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:24,880 Speaker 1: what was the deal here, and they're like, honestly, he 237 00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:27,679 Speaker 1: just wasn't that good in college, and I think this 238 00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:30,840 Speaker 1: is why the draft is so hard. Then I did 239 00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:34,240 Speaker 1: a little my own research Wikipedia and looked around on 240 00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:37,400 Speaker 1: the internet. He basically was a one year wonder in college, 241 00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:40,680 Speaker 1: and his senior year might have been as true. You know, 242 00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:43,480 Speaker 1: recherd junior year, I'm not exactly sure how it lined up. 243 00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:45,560 Speaker 1: He had eleven and a half sacks, so he had 244 00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:49,160 Speaker 1: a good year, but as multiple people text me, he 245 00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:53,160 Speaker 1: looked nothing like this, and this is why it's like, well, 246 00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:55,080 Speaker 1: if we could redo the draft, he would go on. 247 00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:57,160 Speaker 1: I think there were a lot of people that thought 248 00:13:57,360 --> 00:14:00,680 Speaker 1: the Steelers were a little crazy for taking him at thirty, 249 00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:04,120 Speaker 1: but then doing a little more research on him. He 250 00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:07,280 Speaker 1: was a tight end early on in college and didn't 251 00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:10,840 Speaker 1: play was always injured, and then when they asked him 252 00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:14,000 Speaker 1: to go to defensive end, he was also injured. So 253 00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:19,040 Speaker 1: he didn't start playing the position till twenty sixteen, when 254 00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:21,720 Speaker 1: he wasn't very good or productive. And then his last 255 00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:24,320 Speaker 1: year there, or it might have been fifteen and sixteen, 256 00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:29,280 Speaker 1: whatever his last year at Wisconsin was. He was productive, 257 00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:32,600 Speaker 1: but like from an NFL trade standpoint, what I was 258 00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:34,880 Speaker 1: being told is like he did was not as explosive. 259 00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:39,560 Speaker 1: He definitely was not the motor like him and Crosby, 260 00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:43,560 Speaker 1: their batteries never run out. And sometimes you're a late 261 00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:46,080 Speaker 1: bloomer and this guy just hadn't really played the position. 262 00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:49,600 Speaker 1: So you make And this is where in the draft 263 00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:52,600 Speaker 1: everyone's like, these guys are idiots. How do you miss this? 264 00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:56,120 Speaker 1: It is hard. It is hard because you could crush 265 00:14:56,240 --> 00:15:00,360 Speaker 1: the Cowboys for not taking him at twenty eight. Teams 266 00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:06,200 Speaker 1: twenty seven and above easily passed on this guy. So 267 00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:10,000 Speaker 1: I think sometimes when guys get to the NFL, just 268 00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:13,240 Speaker 1: like human beings, you may know a guy that you 269 00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:16,880 Speaker 1: went to college with and go, wait, what's he doing now? 270 00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:20,120 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, he's a multimillionaire. Wait that guy, the dude 271 00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:23,120 Speaker 1: that never did shit, slept all day, smoked weed and 272 00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:26,280 Speaker 1: partied all the time, probably should have failed out of 273 00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:29,440 Speaker 1: class like seven times. Like yeah, kind of clicked. And 274 00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:32,760 Speaker 1: sometimes as an athlete, now clearly you have to have 275 00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:36,800 Speaker 1: certain physical attributes, but you get with the right coach, 276 00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:39,200 Speaker 1: you get in the right scheme, maybe you grow into 277 00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:44,520 Speaker 1: your body a little bit more and in his you know, 278 00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:47,560 Speaker 1: using TJ as an example, like he hadn't been playing 279 00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:50,240 Speaker 1: It's not like he was a lifetime pass rusher. He 280 00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:53,600 Speaker 1: was focused on tight end in college. And this is 281 00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:56,400 Speaker 1: not high school where you're like cross training, you're just 282 00:15:56,520 --> 00:15:59,680 Speaker 1: playing offense. Clearly, it's the best thing they ever happened 283 00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:03,120 Speaker 1: to him. And it's just something that you know, if 284 00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:05,520 Speaker 1: the Cowboys had drafted him, would he be this good? 285 00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:08,840 Speaker 1: Who knows? Because he does. He feels like a Steeler, 286 00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:12,760 Speaker 1: he really does. And their defense, I mean the pass rush, 287 00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:15,920 Speaker 1: the DBS, I mean they were pretty worn down by 288 00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:19,000 Speaker 1: the end. But the offense is a problem. It really is. 289 00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:22,000 Speaker 1: And Fields is clearly better, Like the version I'm watching 290 00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:24,920 Speaker 1: right now is better than the guy that we saw 291 00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:27,920 Speaker 1: with the Bears. But he's still a pretty flawed player. 292 00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:30,920 Speaker 1: Like he's not someone that you can just rely on, 293 00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:34,680 Speaker 1: Like you watch Dak play quarterback and you watch Fields 294 00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:38,680 Speaker 1: play quarterback, Like there is a large, large, fucking gap 295 00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:43,240 Speaker 1: in terms of playing pocket quarterback. Now Field's movement ability. 296 00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:47,160 Speaker 1: He's actually a pretty good thrower on the run. He 297 00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:49,600 Speaker 1: made some big plays to night, scrambling to his right 298 00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:51,880 Speaker 1: outside the tackle, throwing back across the body, does have 299 00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:54,240 Speaker 1: a good arm, he does feel a little more under 300 00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:57,880 Speaker 1: control when he's doing that with Pittsburgh than he did 301 00:16:58,280 --> 00:17:01,920 Speaker 1: in Chicago. But it is pretty difficult to play like 302 00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:06,080 Speaker 1: that as offensive players. I mean through for one hundred 303 00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:09,960 Speaker 1: and thirty eight yards tonight, their offense in general, I 304 00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:13,440 Speaker 1: mean they ran for ninety two and through for a 305 00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:15,520 Speaker 1: and through for one hundred and forty because fields had 306 00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:17,639 Speaker 1: to come out on the one play where he got throttled, 307 00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:21,399 Speaker 1: which I got news for you, is not a personal foul. 308 00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:24,680 Speaker 1: It's just called a hard hit. The guy's helmet didn't 309 00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:28,360 Speaker 1: touch him. He just hit him in the chest last 310 00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:31,280 Speaker 1: time I checked. That's called football. I think sometimes we're 311 00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:35,480 Speaker 1: throwing some of these penalties, like fields just running around recklessly. 312 00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:39,120 Speaker 1: I used to complain about this with Gardner Minshew last 313 00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:41,919 Speaker 1: year in Indy when they would get personal foul calls 314 00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:44,720 Speaker 1: on bad throws because guys would get lit up on 315 00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:49,240 Speaker 1: a hospital ball, like you should not get bailed out 316 00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:53,000 Speaker 1: and force the opponent to get penalized because you do 317 00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:58,760 Speaker 1: stupid stuff because you are playing poorly. It's ridiculous. It 318 00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:03,600 Speaker 1: really drives me nuts. Tonight ninety one, when he had fields, 319 00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:05,480 Speaker 1: it's like, well, the crown of the helmet right up 320 00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:08,639 Speaker 1: to his chin. No, there was a gap, never touched 321 00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:12,560 Speaker 1: just because it looked that way. Just because it looked 322 00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:16,239 Speaker 1: that way, well, if it actually wasn't that way, then 323 00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:18,480 Speaker 1: it should be a penalty. Just be a hard hit. 324 00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:22,840 Speaker 1: There are going to be violent hits in football, not 325 00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:27,200 Speaker 1: every and I'm all for ultimately protecting quarterbacks. We don't 326 00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:30,280 Speaker 1: want quarterbacks to get injured. But the sill is football, 327 00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:33,439 Speaker 1: and when you get guys run around like fields, who's 328 00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:36,520 Speaker 1: just a run around guy every time he gets tackled 329 00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:39,679 Speaker 1: or hit hard, and even if he gets elevated and 330 00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:43,280 Speaker 1: flies to the ground like, it's not automatically a penalty. 331 00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:47,439 Speaker 1: I thought that was egregious tonight. I really did. That 332 00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:52,199 Speaker 1: penalty was ridiculous. Well, he launched, He's playing football. You 333 00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:55,359 Speaker 1: have to use your hips into a guy. You don't 334 00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:58,879 Speaker 1: tackle a guy on the balls of your feet. So 335 00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:03,520 Speaker 1: it's just he didn't. He just he accelerated through. It's 336 00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:06,440 Speaker 1: like basic tackling. They teach you in pee wee football, 337 00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:09,240 Speaker 1: if that even still exists, definitely teach you in high 338 00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:13,679 Speaker 1: school and college. So I just Pittsburgh's going to be 339 00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:16,239 Speaker 1: tough because of those pass rushers and the defense and 340 00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:19,199 Speaker 1: just kind of their toughness, but that their offense. I 341 00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:21,399 Speaker 1: mean that they have been playing in these games that 342 00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:24,840 Speaker 1: if you get if they were to get into a 343 00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:29,720 Speaker 1: position where you're playing Baltimore or Cincinnati and those deep offenses, 344 00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:32,359 Speaker 1: they're not even looking exactly like today. But if just 345 00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:35,960 Speaker 1: are going to score twenty five to twenty eight points, like, 346 00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:38,879 Speaker 1: how's Pittsburgh gonna win those games? How are they going 347 00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:42,400 Speaker 1: to win those games? Like it's just it just feels very, 348 00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:47,080 Speaker 1: very difficult for them to move the ball. And it's 349 00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:49,359 Speaker 1: not like, well, they only had so many possessions tonight, 350 00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:54,359 Speaker 1: he gave them three extra possessions, three extra possessions. They 351 00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:59,560 Speaker 1: scored seventeen points and one touchdown. Right, the last touchdown 352 00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:04,280 Speaker 1: for the Steelers in the fourth quarter came on essentially, 353 00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:07,399 Speaker 1: I guess there was one true last drive with like 354 00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:11,040 Speaker 1: twenty seconds, but if you remove that, the Steeler scored 355 00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:13,479 Speaker 1: and then Dak let him on a touchdown drive. So 356 00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:15,720 Speaker 1: one of their touchdowns came with like, I don't know, 357 00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:18,719 Speaker 1: five minutes left to go in the game. I mean, 358 00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:22,520 Speaker 1: so they had ten points with whatever five minutes to 359 00:20:22,520 --> 00:20:28,840 Speaker 1: go in the game. That's not good. Yeah, they had, 360 00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:31,760 Speaker 1: So they had when Dak throws the pick and then 361 00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:35,000 Speaker 1: feels leads him on a touchdown drive. They had ten 362 00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:40,159 Speaker 1: points with yeah, about four to fifty six. So the 363 00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:42,679 Speaker 1: five minute mark the Steelers had ten ten points on 364 00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:45,800 Speaker 1: the board. Just not gonna get it done, but fun 365 00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:59,159 Speaker 1: game delayed, crazy moment, nice win for McCarthy. Let's do 366 00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:02,440 Speaker 1: a little quick rated, underrated, It's got some takes I 367 00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:06,439 Speaker 1: want I want to throw out there because God, I 368 00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:09,800 Speaker 1: just there's just I just watched so much football today. 369 00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:12,879 Speaker 1: I think this has to be a record, because I 370 00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:17,000 Speaker 1: told Coward this. I usually I ain't waking up at 371 00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:19,920 Speaker 1: six point thirty for most of these London games. And 372 00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:27,520 Speaker 1: for the most part, it's like Jacksonville Houston, not the 373 00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:31,960 Speaker 1: pre cj surround last year was like Indie Gardner Minshew 374 00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:34,879 Speaker 1: against the Patriots games that, for the most part, unless 375 00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:37,000 Speaker 1: you're a fan of that team, no one's really paying 376 00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:41,159 Speaker 1: attention to. Terrible games are not leading any of the 377 00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:44,560 Speaker 1: things that I do and can easily not be discussed. 378 00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:49,080 Speaker 1: But today it's like, well, that's the Jets. And if 379 00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:51,040 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers didn't exist, or he was still in the 380 00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:53,840 Speaker 1: Packers of Zach Wilson, it obviously wouldn't matter as much, 381 00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:55,919 Speaker 1: but was like, I currently gotta watch these Aaron Rodgers games. 382 00:21:56,320 --> 00:21:59,040 Speaker 1: And I enjoy watching Aaron Rodd because I think there's 383 00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:02,040 Speaker 1: such a story there. So I had a pretty long 384 00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:04,720 Speaker 1: day of getting after it. Let's just say on Saturday 385 00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:07,280 Speaker 1: we had a few and then we had a few more, 386 00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:10,760 Speaker 1: and I think I've slept about got after a pretty 387 00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:13,000 Speaker 1: good Friday too. I you know, sometimes you just got 388 00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:15,280 Speaker 1: to put on your on your booze and shoes and 389 00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:17,840 Speaker 1: do a little throwback to your early twenties even though 390 00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:23,080 Speaker 1: you're you know, approaching aka forty now. So you just 391 00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:25,960 Speaker 1: got a rock and roll in about six seven hours 392 00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:29,120 Speaker 1: sleep and you just watch football. So it's no one's 393 00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:31,359 Speaker 1: gonna feel bad that I watch football for a living. 394 00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:35,360 Speaker 1: No one does. I'm not asking for any sympathy, but god, 395 00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:38,240 Speaker 1: those six thirty games. That's that's My only issue with 396 00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:41,480 Speaker 1: the London game is the kickoff. Okay, let's let's start 397 00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:47,040 Speaker 1: with the overrated. I think last year and I felt 398 00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:51,000 Speaker 1: strongly about this, that defense that Baltimore brought to the 399 00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:55,520 Speaker 1: table was pretty incredible. You could not run on them. 400 00:22:55,840 --> 00:23:02,080 Speaker 1: Their linebacking play was unreal, their coordinator was awesome, and 401 00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:05,560 Speaker 1: it was gonna be hard to sustain that level of play, 402 00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:11,560 Speaker 1: and then today somehow they won a game in overtime 403 00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:16,919 Speaker 1: when the Bengals scored thirty eight points in regulation and 404 00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:20,320 Speaker 1: Joe Burrow threw five touchdowns and Jamar Chase had a 405 00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:23,000 Speaker 1: couple of touchdowns where it's like, are you guys gonna 406 00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:26,919 Speaker 1: even attempt to tackle this guy? So when we go 407 00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:32,240 Speaker 1: to underrated, a lot of people clearly know where I 408 00:23:32,359 --> 00:23:36,560 Speaker 1: stand on the Josh Lamar debate. You guys know who 409 00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:39,480 Speaker 1: my horse is in the race. That's Josh Allen. Today 410 00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:41,800 Speaker 1: is not the day to bring that up if you're me, 411 00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:44,480 Speaker 1: because I'm gonna lose that argument every day of the week. 412 00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:47,440 Speaker 1: Josh Allen played one of the worst games I've ever 413 00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:53,440 Speaker 1: seen him play, and Lamar was absolutely jaw dropping there. 414 00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:56,760 Speaker 1: I was thinking this today watching him play because I 415 00:23:56,800 --> 00:24:00,960 Speaker 1: don't think the Ravens defense can quite carry them like 416 00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:03,720 Speaker 1: they did last year. Because Lamar, while he won the MVP, 417 00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:08,000 Speaker 1: it was an awful MVP season. He's to me his 418 00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:10,400 Speaker 1: numbers this year I bet will end up looking better 419 00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:14,359 Speaker 1: than last year's. His numbers. His original MVP year blew 420 00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:17,520 Speaker 1: last year's out of the water, So it was more 421 00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:20,760 Speaker 1: that he was on the best team. He's the quarterback. 422 00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:22,880 Speaker 1: He had a good year and there just weren't many 423 00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:27,760 Speaker 1: other options. But the guy that you saw to day, 424 00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:30,680 Speaker 1: like if he if he's forced to do that because 425 00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:33,080 Speaker 1: his defense is just given up touchdown after a touchdown. 426 00:24:33,560 --> 00:24:36,760 Speaker 1: There are only so many guys in the history of 427 00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:40,560 Speaker 1: the league that can play like that. You The thing 428 00:24:40,600 --> 00:24:43,480 Speaker 1: I give him a lot of credit for is he's 429 00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:45,440 Speaker 1: gotten so much better. And this happened, you know, three 430 00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:48,440 Speaker 1: or four years ago, but he improved really really quickly 431 00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:53,480 Speaker 1: from within the pocket and as a runner. He is 432 00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:56,919 Speaker 1: so calm when he scrambles around and he does this 433 00:24:56,960 --> 00:25:01,600 Speaker 1: like Michael Jackson backpedal like a moonwalk. But he's really 434 00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:03,880 Speaker 1: good at like it's all it's not quite a stiff arm, 435 00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:05,760 Speaker 1: but he kind of puts you know, if you're around 436 00:25:05,840 --> 00:25:08,000 Speaker 1: your dog and it kind of puts its paw on 437 00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:10,119 Speaker 1: you when you're laying next to him. It's kind of 438 00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:12,200 Speaker 1: saying hi, but it's also kind of like just keeping 439 00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:14,879 Speaker 1: you at bay. That's kind of what Lamar does is 440 00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:16,480 Speaker 1: he just kind of puts his arm out there. Today 441 00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:18,959 Speaker 1: he had a sweet stiff arm, but his eyes are 442 00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:24,480 Speaker 1: up and he's scrambling back and he's making pass. He 443 00:25:24,560 --> 00:25:27,159 Speaker 1: had a touchdown pass doing that move today. That was 444 00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:30,760 Speaker 1: just like, are you fucking serious? And they had no 445 00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:33,439 Speaker 1: choice but for him to throw all these touchdowns and 446 00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:35,679 Speaker 1: run around and make a bunch of plays. Same with 447 00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:40,320 Speaker 1: Derrick Henry because their defense was that bad and they're lucky. 448 00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:43,359 Speaker 1: You know, the Bengals defense is pretty bad too, but 449 00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:48,000 Speaker 1: that game was That game was wildly entertaining. So another 450 00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:52,120 Speaker 1: thing that is obviously really really overrated this is San 451 00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:56,040 Speaker 1: Franco forty nine Ers. Right now, there's a bad football team. 452 00:25:56,240 --> 00:26:00,240 Speaker 1: They're not like the Patriots or the Miami Dolphins. I'm 453 00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:03,800 Speaker 1: not saying they're gonna be drafting third overall, but as 454 00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:08,760 Speaker 1: of today, October sixth, at ten twenty five pm at night, 455 00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:12,560 Speaker 1: the forty nine ers are just not good. And we 456 00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:15,400 Speaker 1: could argue, like what they were gonna be this year? 457 00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:17,439 Speaker 1: Are they like a thirteen fourteen win team or they 458 00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:19,479 Speaker 1: a ten to eleven win team. I think we all 459 00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:24,800 Speaker 1: agree they're a playoff team. They have lost two divisional games, 460 00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:26,840 Speaker 1: one to a team. And I got a lot of 461 00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:29,800 Speaker 1: respect for what Sean McVay is doing. He's out there 462 00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:33,040 Speaker 1: playing offense with me you and three other people in 463 00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:36,440 Speaker 1: Stafford and they're just being competitive and hanging around in 464 00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:39,919 Speaker 1: a game. If you gave Zach Taylor or something, Robert 465 00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:42,160 Speaker 1: Sala or some of these other coaches around the league 466 00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:46,159 Speaker 1: Sean mcvay's roster that he's rolling out every single week, 467 00:26:46,800 --> 00:26:51,080 Speaker 1: they would be getting destroyed. There would have already been 468 00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:55,440 Speaker 1: like a forty eight to ten one thousand percent. But 469 00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:57,360 Speaker 1: you just watch him, like, how's he doing this? Now? 470 00:26:57,359 --> 00:27:00,520 Speaker 1: He's losing these games, but for him him just to 471 00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:03,240 Speaker 1: be competitive. And they were down ten against the forty 472 00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:05,800 Speaker 1: nine Ers, came storm back and won the game. Today 473 00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:11,240 Speaker 1: Arizona is down. What's score it was twenty to twenty 474 00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:14,040 Speaker 1: three to ten. I mean, the Niners are in complete 475 00:27:14,119 --> 00:27:16,919 Speaker 1: control at the end of the first half, in the 476 00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:20,080 Speaker 1: beginning of the second half, and then it just kind 477 00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:23,480 Speaker 1: of keeps going. The Niners zone of their kicker. Their 478 00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:27,480 Speaker 1: red zone offense is atrocious. I mean, they were one 479 00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:30,000 Speaker 1: for six today, but it honestly didn't even feel like 480 00:27:30,040 --> 00:27:32,520 Speaker 1: they had that many good looks and you'd be like, wow, 481 00:27:32,560 --> 00:27:36,160 Speaker 1: they're missing Christian McCaffrey. He's been gone. They still got 482 00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:38,720 Speaker 1: Brandon Ayuk, they got Deebo Samuel, they got George Kittle, 483 00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:41,840 Speaker 1: they got Juwan Jennings. Jordan Mason coming into the coming 484 00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:43,919 Speaker 1: into this week is like leading the league in rushing. 485 00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:46,960 Speaker 1: He can also catch, obviously, Christian McCaffrey would help. But 486 00:27:47,040 --> 00:27:49,000 Speaker 1: give me a fucking break. You go into the red 487 00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:51,520 Speaker 1: zone six times with those weapons, with the checks you're 488 00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:54,720 Speaker 1: cutting for these cats, we need a couple more touchdowns. 489 00:27:55,119 --> 00:27:58,040 Speaker 1: I mean one of the big forty nine ers touchdowns 490 00:27:58,080 --> 00:28:01,159 Speaker 1: was literally they blocked a field goal and Leonor the 491 00:28:01,240 --> 00:28:02,920 Speaker 1: dB picked it up and took it to the house. 492 00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:07,240 Speaker 1: So it's like their offensive scoring. Bosa got an interception today, 493 00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:10,119 Speaker 1: and I get it. Your your kicker gets injured. It 494 00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:14,239 Speaker 1: throws you off, like that's a legitimate excuse on a 495 00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:17,800 Speaker 1: given drive, but over the course of a game, like 496 00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:21,480 Speaker 1: I'm sorry. You're playing one of the worst defenses in 497 00:28:21,520 --> 00:28:26,920 Speaker 1: the league, the Arizona Cardinals. Their defense is not good, 498 00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:30,560 Speaker 1: no pass rush, they can't cover. Everyone that's playing them 499 00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:35,040 Speaker 1: is lighting them up except Sean McVay, who's playing with nobody. 500 00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:39,560 Speaker 1: And you can't like score touchdowns in the second half 501 00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:42,240 Speaker 1: of a game at home when you're leading and put 502 00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:46,760 Speaker 1: them away. That's an awful loss. That's really really embarrassing 503 00:28:46,760 --> 00:28:54,920 Speaker 1: for Kyle and Purdy's one thing Perdy does is the 504 00:28:54,960 --> 00:28:59,239 Speaker 1: game ended on an interception where clearly they're running some 505 00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:02,240 Speaker 1: deeper breaking routes and he's kind of hit tapping the ball, 506 00:29:02,520 --> 00:29:06,120 Speaker 1: but George Kittle's open, probably I don't know, twenty feet 507 00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:08,320 Speaker 1: away from him that I don't know if it would 508 00:29:08,320 --> 00:29:10,000 Speaker 1: have been a lock first down, but it would have 509 00:29:10,040 --> 00:29:13,280 Speaker 1: gained serious yardage. And he's trying to hit the big play. 510 00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:15,800 Speaker 1: He's trying to hit the big play and sometimes and 511 00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:19,120 Speaker 1: it's a skill and it works through his advantage that 512 00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:21,680 Speaker 1: he makes a bunch of plays with his legs right 513 00:29:21,680 --> 00:29:24,040 Speaker 1: and Keith plays alive and then throws. But today he 514 00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:27,880 Speaker 1: also did some of that and then got destroyed and 515 00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:29,680 Speaker 1: got a sack. You know who does that all the 516 00:29:29,680 --> 00:29:32,880 Speaker 1: time now is Deshaun Watson. Now I'm not comparing party 517 00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:35,680 Speaker 1: to Shawn Watson, but I think we got to strike 518 00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:38,520 Speaker 1: a little balance of like, can we run the offense, 519 00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:41,520 Speaker 1: can you get rid of the football, Because even Tom 520 00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:44,040 Speaker 1: Brady was like, yeah, sometimes you gotta get rid of 521 00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:46,520 Speaker 1: the ball. I'd say Tom knows a thing or two 522 00:29:46,520 --> 00:29:50,800 Speaker 1: about that and keeping plays alive with your legs. How 523 00:29:50,880 --> 00:29:54,240 Speaker 1: is Caleb matured in terms of a player these last 524 00:29:54,320 --> 00:29:56,200 Speaker 1: couple of weeks. Why is he playing way better now 525 00:29:56,360 --> 00:29:58,600 Speaker 1: than he did early on? He's not running around trying 526 00:29:58,640 --> 00:30:03,400 Speaker 1: to make plays. Ball snap a couple steps, go to workout, 527 00:30:03,640 --> 00:30:06,600 Speaker 1: says to throw it, pull the trigger. If it's not open, 528 00:30:06,640 --> 00:30:09,040 Speaker 1: go to your next option, pull the trigger, or just 529 00:30:09,080 --> 00:30:11,800 Speaker 1: kind of throw the ball away. There has to be 530 00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:15,040 Speaker 1: some sort of balance because right now the offense and 531 00:30:15,080 --> 00:30:18,720 Speaker 1: the timing of the passing game is all out of whack. 532 00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:22,320 Speaker 1: I'm not saying it's all party's fault, but like his 533 00:30:22,560 --> 00:30:28,720 Speaker 1: rhythm and like unwillingness to let it rip. Now, obviously 534 00:30:28,760 --> 00:30:31,400 Speaker 1: sometimes guys are gonna be covered, so I'm not acting 535 00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:33,720 Speaker 1: like you just let it rip if a guy's not open. 536 00:30:34,520 --> 00:30:38,640 Speaker 1: But the run around thing is becoming a little today 537 00:30:38,680 --> 00:30:41,080 Speaker 1: it gave me vibe. Obviously it works sometimes. Today it 538 00:30:41,120 --> 00:30:45,320 Speaker 1: started giving me vibes of the Russell Wilson that Pete 539 00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:47,880 Speaker 1: Carroll and John Schneider and his offensive life there. He's 540 00:30:47,960 --> 00:30:50,840 Speaker 1: kind of driving him nuts. It's like, we gotta find 541 00:30:50,840 --> 00:30:54,040 Speaker 1: some middle ground here of doing three six season shit 542 00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:56,440 Speaker 1: in the pocket and run around and just pulling the 543 00:30:56,480 --> 00:31:04,240 Speaker 1: trigger and making a pass, so goodwin for for Arizona. Obviously. 544 00:31:04,800 --> 00:31:07,480 Speaker 1: Who I would say underrated as an athlete is Kyler Murray, 545 00:31:07,880 --> 00:31:12,280 Speaker 1: who is just me and Colin talked about today. I mean, 546 00:31:12,320 --> 00:31:14,360 Speaker 1: he's got to be one of the greatest pound for 547 00:31:14,440 --> 00:31:17,239 Speaker 1: pound athletes in the history of the NFL. You know, 548 00:31:17,320 --> 00:31:20,840 Speaker 1: to be that good and that potent and listen, like 549 00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:23,880 Speaker 1: he wouldn't be I'd pick there'd be a bunch of 550 00:31:23,960 --> 00:31:25,520 Speaker 1: quarterbacks in the NFL if you just gave me a 551 00:31:25,600 --> 00:31:28,880 Speaker 1: draft from scratch that I'd want over him. But I 552 00:31:28,920 --> 00:31:33,080 Speaker 1: wouldn't love playing him one and two. Like I've never 553 00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:35,920 Speaker 1: argued like his physical attributes and when he's on in 554 00:31:35,960 --> 00:31:38,440 Speaker 1: a game are just pretty special. He had a fifty 555 00:31:38,520 --> 00:31:43,120 Speaker 1: yard touchdown run. He made an incredible like backpedal fourth 556 00:31:43,160 --> 00:31:46,880 Speaker 1: down to pick up a big first down to Marvin 557 00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:49,720 Speaker 1: Harrison when a dude was coming. I mean most people 558 00:31:49,720 --> 00:31:52,960 Speaker 1: that they would the defender would have caught, but Kyler 559 00:31:53,080 --> 00:31:55,920 Speaker 1: so quick and he bought himself like an extra second 560 00:31:55,920 --> 00:31:59,040 Speaker 1: and made this great little lollipop throw. That's the thing. 561 00:31:59,080 --> 00:32:00,840 Speaker 1: He's not just like a power guy. Even though he's 562 00:32:00,840 --> 00:32:04,600 Speaker 1: got a strong arm, he's got touch, he's pretty accurate, 563 00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:06,760 Speaker 1: he does need to move out of the pocket because 564 00:32:06,760 --> 00:32:10,280 Speaker 1: he struggles to see, but just a special player to watch. 565 00:32:10,520 --> 00:32:13,040 Speaker 1: If I still played video games, I would play with 566 00:32:13,080 --> 00:32:18,160 Speaker 1: the Cardinals a lot overrated. Listen, we mentioned this with Lamar, 567 00:32:19,360 --> 00:32:21,880 Speaker 1: who if you're a Lamar guy over Josh Allen guy, 568 00:32:21,920 --> 00:32:25,040 Speaker 1: you're feeling pretty good about yourself right now because he 569 00:32:25,120 --> 00:32:28,680 Speaker 1: kicks his ass last week. This week, Josh played a 570 00:32:28,680 --> 00:32:34,000 Speaker 1: game that, for his standards, is just an embarrassment. I mean, 571 00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:37,320 Speaker 1: it just is. You know, I bet he feels awful. 572 00:32:37,320 --> 00:32:40,000 Speaker 1: I haven't seen any of his postgame quotes, but like, 573 00:32:40,320 --> 00:32:42,040 Speaker 1: if that's not saying like this one of the worst 574 00:32:42,080 --> 00:32:44,360 Speaker 1: games I've ever played, then you know, I don't know 575 00:32:44,360 --> 00:32:46,640 Speaker 1: what the hell is going on there. It was a 576 00:32:46,680 --> 00:32:49,240 Speaker 1: tough watch. He looked all out of whack, He looked 577 00:32:49,280 --> 00:32:52,440 Speaker 1: all out of sorts, and obviously the way the game 578 00:32:52,560 --> 00:32:56,760 Speaker 1: ended with them trying to force the pass instead of 579 00:32:56,800 --> 00:32:59,480 Speaker 1: just running the ball and play to overtime. Colin and 580 00:32:59,520 --> 00:33:04,080 Speaker 1: I talked to him this and McDermott in the strategy Listen. Clearly, 581 00:33:04,120 --> 00:33:05,360 Speaker 1: if they could do it over again, they would have 582 00:33:05,440 --> 00:33:08,360 Speaker 1: changed their strategy. I think anyone that watched that game, though, 583 00:33:08,360 --> 00:33:13,560 Speaker 1: would agree the Bills are one hundred percent no lock 584 00:33:13,680 --> 00:33:16,640 Speaker 1: to win that game in overtime. Honestly, if you told 585 00:33:16,720 --> 00:33:19,800 Speaker 1: me they went to overtime, I would give it less 586 00:33:19,800 --> 00:33:21,840 Speaker 1: than a fifty to fifty shot they would win. The 587 00:33:21,840 --> 00:33:24,520 Speaker 1: way they were playing, they just were not playing well 588 00:33:24,920 --> 00:33:28,280 Speaker 1: and it kind of started with a quarterback who was inaccurate. 589 00:33:28,320 --> 00:33:31,720 Speaker 1: Now he had some balls dropped. It's not like it's 590 00:33:31,760 --> 00:33:33,400 Speaker 1: not quite as bad as his numbers. I think he 591 00:33:33,440 --> 00:33:36,760 Speaker 1: was nine to thirty, but relative to his standards, who's 592 00:33:36,800 --> 00:33:39,239 Speaker 1: clearly one of the best players in the league. It 593 00:33:39,280 --> 00:33:42,000 Speaker 1: was a tough watch, it really was. And it also 594 00:33:42,040 --> 00:33:44,160 Speaker 1: shows you, you know, the Texans had a bunch of injuries. 595 00:33:44,520 --> 00:33:47,080 Speaker 1: Neil Collins goes out early, they lose Jimmy Ward through 596 00:33:47,120 --> 00:33:49,880 Speaker 1: the game. They're already missing their running back. It's like 597 00:33:49,920 --> 00:33:52,840 Speaker 1: they were beat up, like they were there to be had. 598 00:33:53,480 --> 00:33:56,400 Speaker 1: CJ's throwing. He threw a pick in the fourth quarter. 599 00:33:56,560 --> 00:33:59,920 Speaker 1: There was a bad pick. He fumbled, and the Bill 600 00:34:00,240 --> 00:34:02,840 Speaker 1: like the good Bills teams, the one that finished hot 601 00:34:02,920 --> 00:34:05,520 Speaker 1: last year, the team we saw the first couple weeks, 602 00:34:06,520 --> 00:34:08,799 Speaker 1: they win that game. This version, whatever the hell we've 603 00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:12,879 Speaker 1: seen the last two weeks, they don't I was thinking 604 00:34:12,880 --> 00:34:16,520 Speaker 1: about this today. This is pretty underrated. You know, we 605 00:34:16,520 --> 00:34:18,600 Speaker 1: get a lot of people that hit me up, they go, 606 00:34:21,800 --> 00:34:25,040 Speaker 1: can I leave my team I'm a fan of we 607 00:34:25,160 --> 00:34:29,120 Speaker 1: suck so bad, and it's like Patriot fans. I think 608 00:34:29,160 --> 00:34:31,319 Speaker 1: we all universally agree, like now, you don't get to 609 00:34:31,320 --> 00:34:34,239 Speaker 1: do that, especially if you're my age or older. It's 610 00:34:34,239 --> 00:34:36,440 Speaker 1: like you've lived a pretty good life if you're like 611 00:34:36,440 --> 00:34:39,000 Speaker 1: a thirty three year old fan, Like the last twenty 612 00:34:39,080 --> 00:34:43,239 Speaker 1: years since you were whatever, thirteen years old, has been 613 00:34:43,280 --> 00:34:45,600 Speaker 1: as good as it gets. So you don't get to leave. Now. 614 00:34:45,600 --> 00:34:47,040 Speaker 1: If you came up to me and said, you know, 615 00:34:48,360 --> 00:34:51,760 Speaker 1: born and raised Northern California, and my dad my grandpa, 616 00:34:52,440 --> 00:34:55,839 Speaker 1: so I became a Raider fan, I'd be like, bro, 617 00:34:56,480 --> 00:35:00,680 Speaker 1: if you left, nobody, nobody wouldever s a thing to you. 618 00:35:01,360 --> 00:35:05,000 Speaker 1: Everyone that falls sports would understand. Charles Woodson said today 619 00:35:05,040 --> 00:35:09,200 Speaker 1: on TV, why can't we have nice things? I don't know, 620 00:35:09,960 --> 00:35:13,080 Speaker 1: I really don't. It feels like the franchise is cursed. Obviously, 621 00:35:13,160 --> 00:35:15,680 Speaker 1: the Broncos beat the living hell out of him. But 622 00:35:15,680 --> 00:35:19,360 Speaker 1: I'm watching the Packers today and at no point in 623 00:35:19,360 --> 00:35:21,239 Speaker 1: that game that I ever think they were gonna lose 624 00:35:21,719 --> 00:35:23,879 Speaker 1: like it was just one of those games where it's 625 00:35:23,960 --> 00:35:27,440 Speaker 1: like Packers are one hundred scent winning this game, and 626 00:35:27,480 --> 00:35:29,440 Speaker 1: that's what happened. And the final score was actually a 627 00:35:29,480 --> 00:35:31,920 Speaker 1: little closer because Jordan Love had one of the worst 628 00:35:31,960 --> 00:35:35,719 Speaker 1: safety pick six touchdown things you'll ever see. But if 629 00:35:35,760 --> 00:35:38,880 Speaker 1: he just takes a safety, it's twenty four to fifteen, 630 00:35:38,920 --> 00:35:44,520 Speaker 1: not twenty four to nineteen. But regardless, think how underrated 631 00:35:44,560 --> 00:35:48,200 Speaker 1: it is being a Packer fan. You just got rid 632 00:35:48,280 --> 00:35:54,320 Speaker 1: of Aaron Rodgers, who was literally better than Brett Farv. 633 00:35:55,440 --> 00:36:00,319 Speaker 1: See Brett Favre left, you traded him. However, that thing 634 00:36:00,320 --> 00:36:03,000 Speaker 1: play out the retirement forever, and you had Rogers on 635 00:36:03,040 --> 00:36:06,360 Speaker 1: the roster and you make the transition and it turns 636 00:36:06,360 --> 00:36:09,480 Speaker 1: out that that guy was even better than Brett Fahr, 637 00:36:09,719 --> 00:36:12,759 Speaker 1: who many people consider one of the great players of 638 00:36:12,800 --> 00:36:15,600 Speaker 1: all time. Dude won three straight MVPs. And then you 639 00:36:15,719 --> 00:36:19,960 Speaker 1: upgrade it. Now, Jordan Love's got a long way to go, 640 00:36:20,520 --> 00:36:23,319 Speaker 1: and I mean a long way to go before we 641 00:36:23,400 --> 00:36:26,440 Speaker 1: ever put him in the breath of those two guys. 642 00:36:26,719 --> 00:36:28,920 Speaker 1: Though He's had like little stretches where you can see it, 643 00:36:28,920 --> 00:36:32,440 Speaker 1: and he had a throw today, a deep bomb early 644 00:36:32,480 --> 00:36:33,920 Speaker 1: in the game, that looked like when it was in 645 00:36:33,960 --> 00:36:35,520 Speaker 1: the air, it's like he's just throwing this ball into 646 00:36:35,560 --> 00:36:38,040 Speaker 1: triple coverage that's gonna be picked easily. All of a 647 00:36:38,040 --> 00:36:42,600 Speaker 1: sudden it hits his guy in stride. But here's what 648 00:36:42,640 --> 00:36:45,399 Speaker 1: I know. The Packers are just good. And you know what, 649 00:36:45,680 --> 00:36:48,680 Speaker 1: I don't know. Might not win thirteen twelve games, but 650 00:36:48,719 --> 00:36:54,160 Speaker 1: they're winning ten or eleven every single year. Every once 651 00:36:54,200 --> 00:36:56,160 Speaker 1: in a while you have one of these bizarre years 652 00:36:56,160 --> 00:36:59,560 Speaker 1: like the year McCarthy got fired, or even Rogers last 653 00:36:59,600 --> 00:37:02,440 Speaker 1: year guys were like nine to seven. But it's like, 654 00:37:02,480 --> 00:37:06,000 Speaker 1: you're just good. You're always good. Think how underrated it 655 00:37:06,040 --> 00:37:08,479 Speaker 1: is being a Packer fan. It's like fifty five years old, 656 00:37:09,480 --> 00:37:11,160 Speaker 1: since the guy was in his teens. It's like, yeah, 657 00:37:11,160 --> 00:37:14,799 Speaker 1: we've just been winning. And the way you get quarterbacks. 658 00:37:15,239 --> 00:37:17,279 Speaker 1: You traded a second round pick for Brett Farvu's on 659 00:37:17,320 --> 00:37:20,279 Speaker 1: the Atlanta Falcons, you take Aaron Rodgers at the end 660 00:37:20,320 --> 00:37:24,160 Speaker 1: of the first round. Obviously, Jordan Love is a complete project, 661 00:37:24,719 --> 00:37:27,200 Speaker 1: and it just you just figure it out. And even 662 00:37:27,200 --> 00:37:28,680 Speaker 1: sometimes I watch the team, I was like, ah, could 663 00:37:28,680 --> 00:37:33,319 Speaker 1: they be a little bit better on defense? Yeah, like 664 00:37:33,440 --> 00:37:35,560 Speaker 1: do they when's the last time it felt like, you know, 665 00:37:35,600 --> 00:37:38,439 Speaker 1: they had a TJ. Watt Nick Bosa's probably since Klay 666 00:37:38,440 --> 00:37:42,200 Speaker 1: Matthews and it doesn't really matter. They just they just 667 00:37:42,239 --> 00:37:45,440 Speaker 1: figure it out. Hell, they're starting quarterback, looks like he 668 00:37:45,480 --> 00:37:48,760 Speaker 1: has a serious knee injury. Week one, they have to 669 00:37:48,800 --> 00:37:50,759 Speaker 1: start Malik Willis and then they just rattle off a 670 00:37:50,800 --> 00:37:53,200 Speaker 1: couple of victories. He's like, yeah, we'll just figure it out. 671 00:37:54,280 --> 00:37:56,640 Speaker 1: Think about being a Raider fan and being a Packer 672 00:37:56,680 --> 00:37:59,480 Speaker 1: fan too, like historic brands in the NFL. One team 673 00:37:59,520 --> 00:38:01,000 Speaker 1: he's like, yeah, well figured out, we'll probably have a 674 00:38:01,040 --> 00:38:03,200 Speaker 1: sweet quarterback and we'll be in the playoffs. The other 675 00:38:03,200 --> 00:38:05,840 Speaker 1: team's like, yeah, well, probably about seven crazy ass stories, 676 00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:09,120 Speaker 1: trade three players and just suck. But we won't actually 677 00:38:09,120 --> 00:38:11,279 Speaker 1: get the number one pick or even the number two pick. 678 00:38:11,400 --> 00:38:14,480 Speaker 1: We'll draft like ninth and probably miss on the pick. 679 00:38:14,760 --> 00:38:18,040 Speaker 1: So just the cycle never ends. It's just crazy how 680 00:38:18,080 --> 00:38:22,760 Speaker 1: it plays out that way. A couple more overrated taking 681 00:38:22,800 --> 00:38:27,480 Speaker 1: a quarterback in the top five of the draft. Just 682 00:38:27,520 --> 00:38:31,640 Speaker 1: sign Joe Flacco. Joe Flaco today had a twenty one 683 00:38:31,719 --> 00:38:38,000 Speaker 1: year old yard run through multiple just gorgeous touchdowns. I mean, 684 00:38:39,520 --> 00:38:41,920 Speaker 1: he has to have one of the best looking balls 685 00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:45,279 Speaker 1: in the air and again two years ago he was 686 00:38:45,360 --> 00:38:48,680 Speaker 1: on the couch taking his kids to junior high or 687 00:38:48,680 --> 00:38:53,279 Speaker 1: elementary school. I guess probably not junior high, but you know, preschool. 688 00:38:53,440 --> 00:38:57,040 Speaker 1: You name it, like thinking my career is over. Last year, 689 00:38:57,440 --> 00:39:00,520 Speaker 1: leads the Browns to the playoffs. They we won't touch 690 00:39:00,560 --> 00:39:03,000 Speaker 1: him because they don't want to offend one of the 691 00:39:03,040 --> 00:39:06,600 Speaker 1: worst players not in the league. We've ever seen the 692 00:39:06,719 --> 00:39:09,240 Speaker 1: version of Deshaun Watson right now. I've seen some advanced 693 00:39:09,239 --> 00:39:13,000 Speaker 1: stats floating around, like on Twitter, the eye test. We've 694 00:39:13,040 --> 00:39:15,160 Speaker 1: all been watching football for a long time. That is 695 00:39:15,200 --> 00:39:17,759 Speaker 1: one of the worst players, like this version of what 696 00:39:17,800 --> 00:39:21,279 Speaker 1: we're watching we've ever seen. They didn't even call Joe 697 00:39:21,280 --> 00:39:25,120 Speaker 1: Flacco because they didn't want to offend the guy. Then 698 00:39:25,160 --> 00:39:27,400 Speaker 1: he goes to Indy and obviously they're gonna roll in 699 00:39:27,440 --> 00:39:32,040 Speaker 1: with Anthony Rigson. Like objectively speaking, I don't obviously the 700 00:39:32,120 --> 00:39:34,560 Speaker 1: numbers are gonna be on Flacco side, But like I test, 701 00:39:34,640 --> 00:39:36,719 Speaker 1: you name it, you could. You know. The coaches will 702 00:39:36,760 --> 00:39:39,160 Speaker 1: never go on record, but if you knew them personally, 703 00:39:40,120 --> 00:39:43,200 Speaker 1: they're way better with Joe Flacco. But today, the reason 704 00:39:43,200 --> 00:39:45,160 Speaker 1: they lost today wasn't Joe Flacco's fault. It was a 705 00:39:45,200 --> 00:39:48,960 Speaker 1: fucking defense is atrocious, and it can make even Trevor Lawrence, 706 00:39:49,000 --> 00:39:51,359 Speaker 1: who I'm watching the games, like, I'd rather have Joe 707 00:39:51,400 --> 00:39:54,399 Speaker 1: Flacco than Trevor Lawrence. Obviously not for like the next 708 00:39:54,400 --> 00:39:56,239 Speaker 1: ten years, because Joe Flaco is thirty nine years old, 709 00:39:56,239 --> 00:39:57,440 Speaker 1: So if I was gonna take a chance, you'd take 710 00:39:57,480 --> 00:40:00,160 Speaker 1: the younger player. But in a one game situation or 711 00:40:00,160 --> 00:40:02,439 Speaker 1: the rest of this season, like Joe Flactor was just better, 712 00:40:03,239 --> 00:40:06,360 Speaker 1: uh overrated. I gotta take the l on this. A 713 00:40:06,400 --> 00:40:09,200 Speaker 1: lot of you guys have been firing into my dms 714 00:40:09,239 --> 00:40:12,000 Speaker 1: about like, you can't you talk so much about this guy? 715 00:40:12,400 --> 00:40:17,200 Speaker 1: You never shut up where you at. John. I've sang 716 00:40:17,280 --> 00:40:20,960 Speaker 1: Kalin Dubors praises, I've sung them from the high heavens. 717 00:40:21,360 --> 00:40:24,920 Speaker 1: I believed when not many people did. And then he 718 00:40:24,960 --> 00:40:27,840 Speaker 1: beat Georgia and I felt pretty good and I gloated 719 00:40:27,840 --> 00:40:36,880 Speaker 1: pretty hard. And then he lost to Vanderbilt. Now you 720 00:40:36,880 --> 00:40:39,920 Speaker 1: can go glass half full on this twelve team playoff. 721 00:40:40,320 --> 00:40:43,520 Speaker 1: Lost to Vanderbilt doesn't kill him, honestly, doesn't even phase him. 722 00:40:43,640 --> 00:40:46,400 Speaker 1: Like he still can have another loss. He's in the playoffs. 723 00:40:47,440 --> 00:40:50,000 Speaker 1: But you can't lose to Vanderbilt. You're allowed to come 724 00:40:50,000 --> 00:40:52,759 Speaker 1: out playing crappy. We have stucky on He's like, take 725 00:40:52,840 --> 00:40:55,680 Speaker 1: Vanderbilt in the points, but you gotta find a way 726 00:40:55,680 --> 00:40:58,720 Speaker 1: to come back to win. Like if Nick Saban's the coach, 727 00:40:59,120 --> 00:41:02,680 Speaker 1: there is no way he loses that game. It might 728 00:41:02,680 --> 00:41:05,560 Speaker 1: be weird. He might be down in half, but when 729 00:41:05,600 --> 00:41:08,279 Speaker 1: the dust settles and the clock goes to zero, no 730 00:41:08,320 --> 00:41:11,520 Speaker 1: one's rushing the field. In Alabama's won the game and 731 00:41:11,640 --> 00:41:17,279 Speaker 1: he didn't that one. That's stunning. But college football now 732 00:41:17,280 --> 00:41:19,840 Speaker 1: there's a lot more parody. I'm not trying to bail 733 00:41:19,880 --> 00:41:23,800 Speaker 1: Dubor out. That's just that can't happen. His defense is 734 00:41:23,840 --> 00:41:26,799 Speaker 1: getting smoked. And if you want to, if you want 735 00:41:26,880 --> 00:41:29,759 Speaker 1: me to do some pushback on to Boor, It's like 736 00:41:29,880 --> 00:41:32,919 Speaker 1: he's an offensive guy. Offense is a baby. It's never 737 00:41:32,960 --> 00:41:35,600 Speaker 1: been an issue wherever he goes. But defense was an 738 00:41:35,640 --> 00:41:39,239 Speaker 1: issue at Washington and clearly was an issue late in 739 00:41:39,239 --> 00:41:43,799 Speaker 1: the game against Georgia, and now is an issue against Vanderbilt. 740 00:41:43,800 --> 00:41:45,719 Speaker 1: Who was just every time I looked up I was 741 00:41:45,760 --> 00:41:48,960 Speaker 1: in the DraftKings sports book. Guys are just wide open, 742 00:41:49,360 --> 00:41:57,600 Speaker 1: just running for you know, explosive plays. Underrated. I do 743 00:41:57,680 --> 00:42:01,920 Speaker 1: think a little bit like the packers. If you're a 744 00:42:01,960 --> 00:42:04,560 Speaker 1: college football fan and you're an Alabama fan, like your 745 00:42:04,560 --> 00:42:08,160 Speaker 1: life has been so good, Like it's unheard of to 746 00:42:08,200 --> 00:42:12,920 Speaker 1: have this happen. It basically happens to everybody else, Like 747 00:42:13,320 --> 00:42:20,920 Speaker 1: everybody else, maybe notwithstanding Ohio State, but like Notre Dame 748 00:42:21,080 --> 00:42:26,080 Speaker 1: two years ago. Hell, this year they lost in Northern Illinois, Texas, 749 00:42:26,239 --> 00:42:28,160 Speaker 1: go look at their record two years ago when Sarka 750 00:42:28,239 --> 00:42:32,320 Speaker 1: was going like five and seven. People lose awful games. 751 00:42:33,080 --> 00:42:36,120 Speaker 1: It happens, but it just never happened to Nick Saban. 752 00:42:36,680 --> 00:42:38,200 Speaker 1: You'd have to go back and people are gonna bring 753 00:42:38,200 --> 00:42:40,960 Speaker 1: it up that Louisiana and Roe game, like that's a 754 00:42:41,000 --> 00:42:44,120 Speaker 1: long time ago, twenty twenty four, and that was his 755 00:42:44,200 --> 00:42:47,840 Speaker 1: first year. Like he took over a shitty program. Dubar 756 00:42:47,880 --> 00:42:51,839 Speaker 1: took over a sweet program. So it also be pretty underrated. 757 00:42:52,239 --> 00:42:55,359 Speaker 1: If you were at the game for Vanderbilt, it'd be 758 00:42:55,400 --> 00:42:57,720 Speaker 1: one of those things that you will tell that story 759 00:42:57,719 --> 00:43:00,000 Speaker 1: of the rest of your life. If you're a student 760 00:43:00,360 --> 00:43:02,840 Speaker 1: and you went to that game probably expecting just to 761 00:43:02,840 --> 00:43:05,640 Speaker 1: get drunk, have a good time and watch your team 762 00:43:05,719 --> 00:43:09,520 Speaker 1: get annihilated and then they win, Like there had to 763 00:43:09,520 --> 00:43:11,359 Speaker 1: be a moment in the stands. I Yeah, this fun, 764 00:43:11,400 --> 00:43:15,000 Speaker 1: this is cool. It's fun to like third quarter people 765 00:43:15,000 --> 00:43:17,120 Speaker 1: start looking around like could we really do? Are we 766 00:43:17,120 --> 00:43:20,440 Speaker 1: gonna be part of history here? And then the answer 767 00:43:20,560 --> 00:43:26,440 Speaker 1: is yes. Okay. Last couple of things overrated. I think sleep. 768 00:43:27,560 --> 00:43:31,359 Speaker 1: I think one thing now with the conference realignment, game 769 00:43:31,480 --> 00:43:34,880 Speaker 1: day went to Cal which I wanted to watch, so 770 00:43:34,920 --> 00:43:39,040 Speaker 1: I got up early on Saturday morning. That game did 771 00:43:39,080 --> 00:43:45,240 Speaker 1: not start till eight o'clock at night, essentially Pacific Standard 772 00:43:45,239 --> 00:43:49,839 Speaker 1: time col versus Miami. I mean I was watching that 773 00:43:49,920 --> 00:43:53,880 Speaker 1: game well into like eleven thirty last night. And I 774 00:43:53,920 --> 00:43:58,680 Speaker 1: think these television networks absolutely love this realignment and getting 775 00:43:58,680 --> 00:44:01,840 Speaker 1: these matchups super late. It's one thing to have Washington 776 00:44:01,840 --> 00:44:04,520 Speaker 1: State play Cow. It's another thing to be able to 777 00:44:04,560 --> 00:44:08,440 Speaker 1: throw a Miami eventually in Ohio State or Michigan or 778 00:44:08,480 --> 00:44:12,160 Speaker 1: just a random big team from across the country. So 779 00:44:12,239 --> 00:44:16,360 Speaker 1: if you like sleep and you like college football slash 780 00:44:16,480 --> 00:44:18,680 Speaker 1: the NFL, they do not really go hand in hand 781 00:44:18,760 --> 00:44:21,840 Speaker 1: right now, because you get so many of these games 782 00:44:21,840 --> 00:44:24,359 Speaker 1: that you got to pay attention to late into Saturday night. 783 00:44:24,840 --> 00:44:28,240 Speaker 1: And now the NFL is playing all these London games 784 00:44:28,239 --> 00:44:30,520 Speaker 1: that kick off at six point thirty, and I would 785 00:44:30,560 --> 00:44:34,399 Speaker 1: say underrated. How much you take for granted when you're 786 00:44:34,440 --> 00:44:41,240 Speaker 1: young and you can just drink, wake up, work out, eat, drink, 787 00:44:42,080 --> 00:44:44,239 Speaker 1: do it over again, do it over again, and your 788 00:44:44,239 --> 00:44:47,520 Speaker 1: body is just pull a proof. The older you get, 789 00:44:47,640 --> 00:44:52,360 Speaker 1: you feel like, how am I going to do this now? Luckily, 790 00:44:52,760 --> 00:44:54,840 Speaker 1: some of us are a little mentally tougher than others, 791 00:44:55,320 --> 00:44:57,360 Speaker 1: so you just tell yourself, we don't have a choice. 792 00:44:58,120 --> 00:45:01,880 Speaker 1: But I think when you're young, you don't even realize 793 00:45:01,880 --> 00:45:05,000 Speaker 1: how good you have it in terms of hangovers, in 794 00:45:05,080 --> 00:45:08,560 Speaker 1: terms of energy after boozing. I'm just talking about day boozing. 795 00:45:08,600 --> 00:45:10,320 Speaker 1: I'm not even talking about like I ain't going to 796 00:45:10,320 --> 00:45:13,000 Speaker 1: the club. You know, I'm bed by eleven thirty at night. 797 00:45:13,719 --> 00:45:16,080 Speaker 1: But you just your boy just doesn't have it anymore. 798 00:45:16,280 --> 00:45:21,480 Speaker 1: I really don't. I just I can't. I don't rebound 799 00:45:22,000 --> 00:45:24,279 Speaker 1: like I used to. I used to just wake up 800 00:45:24,320 --> 00:45:28,560 Speaker 1: and be good. Those days feel like a long, long 801 00:45:28,640 --> 00:45:33,760 Speaker 1: time ago. The volume
