Speaker 2: on Fox Sports Radio.

10
00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:32,360
Speaker 1: Oh, it is a Tuesday. We are stacked. Justin Herbert,

11
00:00:32,440 --> 00:00:37,960
Speaker 1: great American hero in overtime the Chargers, I mean, the

12
00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:42,200
Speaker 1: Eagles even had extra days to prepare. What a night

13
00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:46,800
Speaker 1: last night for Jim Harbaugh and Justin Herbert. One hour

14
00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:51,159
Speaker 1: from now the Herd hierarchy. Will those bums from Philadelphia

15
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:57,040
Speaker 1: even make the top ten? I'll try to squeeze Buffalo in.

16
00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:04,840
Speaker 1: That was great. That signifies how valuable a great head coach,

17
00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:11,319
Speaker 1: a great quarterback, and an ascending rising coordinator Jesse minter

18
00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:12,920
Speaker 1: Are I mean, think about this.

19
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:15,039
Speaker 3: The Chargers are now nine to four.

20
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:19,800
Speaker 1: They lost to Bosa both Pro Bowl level tackles on

21
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:22,840
Speaker 1: their third string running back and last night their quarterbacks

22
00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:26,600
Speaker 1: off hand surgery, and they beat a stacked Eagles roster

23
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:29,400
Speaker 1: all I've heard all year with Philly is well Landon

24
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:33,440
Speaker 1: Dickerson is nine hundred percent. You know, Lane Johnson's out.

25
00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:40,880
Speaker 1: Sorry not Sirianni, I'm done listening to it. Davonte Smith,

26
00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:47,280
Speaker 1: AJ Brown, Saquon Barkley, most of the best offensive line

27
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:49,960
Speaker 1: in football. The Eagles are zero and three without a

28
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:53,720
Speaker 1: starting right tackle. The Chargers are four and three without

29
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:57,320
Speaker 1: both their tackles, and whenever Justin Herbert plays with a

30
00:01:57,360 --> 00:02:01,680
Speaker 1: broken hand. Last night was all grit and all coaching.

31
00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:04,240
Speaker 1: Justin Herbert didn't want to be the Bolts leading rusher,

32
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:08,680
Speaker 1: but he was pressured on sixty eight percent of his throws.

33
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:13,560
Speaker 1: That is the worst pass protection any quarterback in any

34
00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:17,320
Speaker 1: game has faced all season. So I've said this for years.

35
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:19,440
Speaker 1: If you don't get Justin Herbert, you don't get it.

36
00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:24,040
Speaker 1: That kid's taken up beating a record setting beating.

37
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:25,240
Speaker 3: He's under siege.

38
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:27,840
Speaker 1: Last night he finally got one of his running backs

39
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:32,079
Speaker 1: back backups everywhere in the offensive line. He's stiff arming

40
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:37,760
Speaker 1: people in overtime coming off a broken hand, and pff

41
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:41,160
Speaker 1: I look this morning has him as the sixth highest

42
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:42,239
Speaker 1: rated quarterback.

43
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:44,280
Speaker 3: So they're nine and four.

44
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:47,240
Speaker 1: Not to mention in a division with Andy Reid and

45
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:50,440
Speaker 1: Sean Payton, the raining Super Bowl champs and the number

46
00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:51,440
Speaker 1: one seed Denver.

47
00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:53,000
Speaker 3: And they're nine and four.

48
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:56,880
Speaker 1: I mean, it was it was a dick or the kicker.

49
00:02:57,040 --> 00:03:00,480
Speaker 1: It was Tony Jefferson retired a couple of years ago.

50
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:02,120
Speaker 1: He has four picks.

51
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:02,600
Speaker 3: This year.

52
00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:05,720
Speaker 1: It was Harball, it was Herbert, it was the special teams,

53
00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:09,080
Speaker 1: it's the kicking, it's Jesse Minter. I mean, to me,

54
00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:13,840
Speaker 1: head coaching quarterback is more than just dia gramming some

55
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:19,120
Speaker 1: plays and completing some passes. It is about resilience and toughness.

56
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:22,920
Speaker 1: And this is a very interesting number. The last two years.

57
00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 1: We always talk about coaches, and I think Harball has

58
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:27,919
Speaker 1: as good as coach as any coach in my life,

59
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:31,040
Speaker 1: if you count college in pro. I think he's that good.

60
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:34,359
Speaker 1: This team is thirteen and four the last two seasons.

61
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:39,200
Speaker 1: After Week eight. That is coaching, That is culture, That

62
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:43,360
Speaker 1: is toughness, that is resilience. I mean, this team averaged

63
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:46,920
Speaker 1: three point nine yards of play. This is the best roster,

64
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:51,760
Speaker 1: the Eagles roster in the league. Herbert's pressured sixty eight

65
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:54,200
Speaker 1: percent of the throws. They should have been blown out.

66
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:58,840
Speaker 1: They're on backups all over the offensive line facing one

67
00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:02,840
Speaker 1: of the great defense is Philadelphia in the league, and

68
00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:07,680
Speaker 1: yet they get five turnovers. Pull them away from Philadelphia.

69
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:12,000
Speaker 1: I mean, Herbert just broke his hand, just had surgery.

70
00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:17,080
Speaker 1: Here's Jim Harbaugh dushing over Herbert.

71
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:21,159
Speaker 4: And justin Herbert he's a superhero.

72
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:23,800
Speaker 5: He is a competitive maniac.

73
00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:28,560
Speaker 4: I mean he was even stiff arming guys, you know,

74
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:32,160
Speaker 4: with a broken hand, and he had surgery a week ago,

75
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:37,000
Speaker 4: and out here tonight. It's it's it felt like like

76
00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:38,400
Speaker 4: I was in a MOVI Like we were in a

77
00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:42,520
Speaker 4: movie where you know, the quarterback's doing these and it's

78
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:44,240
Speaker 4: like you get to the point where we go, okay,

79
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:45,560
Speaker 4: this is getting a little unrealistic.

80
00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:48,120
Speaker 5: You know. That's what it felt like to me.

81
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 1: It really is amazing that this team is nine to four,

82
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:55,760
Speaker 1: still has a chance to win their division. Play the

83
00:04:55,839 --> 00:05:00,280
Speaker 1: Chiefs next. All right, let's talk about a young man.

84
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:03,359
Speaker 1: I like, but this was officially a bad day at

85
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:07,240
Speaker 1: the office. Jalen hurts four picks in a fumble and

86
00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:12,800
Speaker 1: a passer rating slightly over thirty one. One thing, let's

87
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:16,560
Speaker 1: stop arguing about this one thing that has become obvious

88
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:21,159
Speaker 1: for Jalen Hurts. He is a circumstances quarterback. If the

89
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:25,119
Speaker 1: old line's perfectly healthy, if the offensive coordinator is great,

90
00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:29,919
Speaker 1: if Saquon Barkley is having an amazing nighter season, if

91
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:34,200
Speaker 1: the defense is number one like last year, he's pretty successful.

92
00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:38,719
Speaker 1: Justin Herbert's doing it with no ifs. Some quarterbacks are

93
00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:44,279
Speaker 1: hot air balloons. They're dependent on the weather, Justin Herbert.

94
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:48,880
Speaker 1: And some quarterbacks are fighter pilots. Just give me the coordinates.

95
00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:54,359
Speaker 1: I like Jalen Hurts in tangibles a plus plus. But

96
00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:59,520
Speaker 1: the Eagles have now lost five straight games. When they

97
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:05,960
Speaker 1: asked Jalen Hurts to just throw thirty times, just thirty

98
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:10,039
Speaker 1: last night, he had to throw forty times and became

99
00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:13,360
Speaker 1: the only quarterback to have two turnovers on one play.

100
00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:16,880
Speaker 1: The Eagles have a head coach that is entirely dependent

101
00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:21,880
Speaker 1: on offensive coordinators and a quarterback that's dependent on mostly

102
00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:26,040
Speaker 1: a perfect setting. Last year's Super Bowl Colin last year's

103
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:27,760
Speaker 1: Super Bowl, Oh give me a break. They won a

104
00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:30,039
Speaker 1: Super Bowl with Nick Foles.

105
00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:31,480
Speaker 3: This is a.

106
00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:36,400
Speaker 1: General manager, owner, first franchise. I've said this about Nick Siriani,

107
00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:40,320
Speaker 1: the top head coaches, Shanahan. We've seen Matt Lafleur do

108
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:45,719
Speaker 1: it this year. McVeigh Vrabel. They can fix a broken

109
00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:49,039
Speaker 1: side of the ball. Lafleour's offense was broken a month ago.

110
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:52,520
Speaker 1: Now it's great. We've seen Vrabel do this. The od

111
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:56,120
Speaker 1: lines banged up. He can fix it in season. I

112
00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:58,919
Speaker 1: don't think Sirianni can. I don't think that's who he is.

113
00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:02,320
Speaker 1: I'm watching that game last night and it hit me

114
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:06,240
Speaker 1: it's hard to believe the positivity Bunny didn't work.

115
00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:08,120
Speaker 3: It didn't have a bigger impact.

116
00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:11,080
Speaker 1: I thought that thing was a goofy reach, and I

117
00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:14,320
Speaker 1: wonder about his future because Philly is like LSU football.

118
00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:19,560
Speaker 1: They don't win, they don't care, no sacred cows. With

119
00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:23,600
Speaker 1: the Philadelphia Eagles, they've move off super Bowl winning quarterbacks

120
00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:25,040
Speaker 1: and super Bowl winning coaches.

121
00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:26,760
Speaker 3: But I don't want to hear.

122
00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:29,680
Speaker 1: I love Lane Johnson, but you got Saquon and that

123
00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:34,920
Speaker 1: defense and DeVante Smith and AJ Brown and yeah, AJ.

124
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:35,680
Speaker 3: Dropped a pass.

125
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:39,840
Speaker 1: And I love so much about Jalen Hurts, but he's

126
00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:45,760
Speaker 1: a circumstances quarterback if everything's lined up. That's not what

127
00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:50,240
Speaker 1: Herbert was last night. Chargers had no business winning that game.

128
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:55,560
Speaker 1: That whole line against that Philly d Come on, here's

129
00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:57,520
Speaker 1: Sirianni on the ugly night.

130
00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:00,480
Speaker 3: For Jalen Hurts, this game.

131
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:03,200
Speaker 6: Is the ultimate team game. So it's it's never you know,

132
00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:05,800
Speaker 6: it's never just on one person. Now, ultimately, he always

133
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:07,600
Speaker 6: has the ball in his hands, and I know he'll

134
00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:10,320
Speaker 6: he'll wear a lot of that and own that, and

135
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:13,520
Speaker 6: I got to do a better job of helping them

136
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:19,120
Speaker 6: in those scenarios. Again, it's always it's never just on execution, right, Obviously,

137
00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:21,920
Speaker 6: never want to turn the ball over. We've been pretty

138
00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:25,360
Speaker 6: good at that and tonight was a little uncharacteristic of ourselves.

139
00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:31,920
Speaker 1: They're probably still going to win their division, but the

140
00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:36,240
Speaker 1: NFC East, arguably it's one of the weaker divisions. If

141
00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:38,439
Speaker 1: you go look at the standings right now in the NFL,

142
00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:43,160
Speaker 1: almost without exception, whoever leads them either has a great

143
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:47,360
Speaker 1: coach like a Sean Payton, a Mike Rable, or you

144
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:50,680
Speaker 1: have a great quarterback. There are very few exceptions on

145
00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:56,280
Speaker 1: that summer high profile, you know, like like Philadelphia. Some

146
00:08:56,400 --> 00:09:00,760
Speaker 1: are like the Texans, great coach, great defense. But right now,

147
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:05,400
Speaker 1: what's great, I mean the personnel is, but I mean

148
00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:10,240
Speaker 1: we all know this, Sirianni is totally coordinator dependent, and

149
00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:15,440
Speaker 1: last night was another example that Jalen is a circumstantial guy.

150
00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:18,439
Speaker 1: If everything's in line, he can win a super Bowl.

151
00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:21,319
Speaker 1: But remember Nick Foles won a Super Bowl. Trend Delver

152
00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:23,440
Speaker 1: won a Super Bowl, Brad Johnson won a Super Bowl,

153
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:25,839
Speaker 1: Rex Grossman got to a Super Bowl. Stan Humphreys got

154
00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:29,440
Speaker 1: to a Super Bowl. Fine professional athletes, but sometimes things

155
00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:34,240
Speaker 1: line up with the Eagles. This year just things haven't

156
00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:40,200
Speaker 1: quite perfectly lined up, and they are an absolute mess

157
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:48,120
Speaker 1: on offense. So what a what a wild wild game

158
00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:52,280
Speaker 1: last night? I kept waiting for the damn to burst.

159
00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:52,760
Speaker 4: J Mac.

160
00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:55,760
Speaker 1: You kept thinking, Okay, Philadelphia has got too many good players.

161
00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:59,120
Speaker 1: Philadelphia is going to win this football game, and there

162
00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:02,839
Speaker 1: is something to be had about perseverance and just hanging around.

163
00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:05,560
Speaker 1: I thought, justin Herbert in overtime, he didn't want to run,

164
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:09,160
Speaker 1: and even Hardball was just calling it just justin, just

165
00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:13,720
Speaker 1: get us first downs, moved the chains. I would say this,

166
00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:17,160
Speaker 1: it's a top five gut check win all season by

167
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:20,680
Speaker 1: a team. Yeah, I mean it was really there was

168
00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:25,160
Speaker 1: a lot of reasons. I mean, Philadelphia was a road favorite,

169
00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:27,640
Speaker 1: and for most of the game you kept saying, Okay,

170
00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:30,680
Speaker 1: they can't throw another pick. The Eagles can't keep turning

171
00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:35,439
Speaker 1: it over and they just the Chargers just stayed close,

172
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:38,040
Speaker 1: hung in and then in overtime. You know, it's funny

173
00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:40,040
Speaker 1: when it went to overtime, it was the first time

174
00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:43,520
Speaker 1: the entire game. I'm like, Oh, the Chargers will win. Really,

175
00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:46,720
Speaker 1: I felt all night. I thought Philadelphia all night. I'm like,

176
00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:48,840
Speaker 1: they can't. He can't keep throwing picks.

177
00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:50,600
Speaker 7: Well, you know, he didn't get any help from AJ

178
00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:53,640
Speaker 7: Brown on the final drive. Brown had three drops for

179
00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:55,640
Speaker 7: the game, dropped the touchdown on the corner of the

180
00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:56,360
Speaker 7: end zone.

181
00:10:57,080 --> 00:10:58,400
Speaker 3: That's a tough one for Philly. Collen.

182
00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:01,280
Speaker 7: I'm just worried about Justin Herbert. Can he continue to

183
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:01,800
Speaker 7: survive this.

184
00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:02,520
Speaker 2: They got the.

185
00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:04,720
Speaker 7: Chiefs this week in probably one of the biggest games

186
00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:08,480
Speaker 7: of the season, and he needs to not get sack.

187
00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:09,720
Speaker 3: Seven times on the road.

188
00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:13,520
Speaker 7: I'll just say this, I don't think the Chiefs are

189
00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:15,560
Speaker 7: dead yet. I don't think the season's over. If they

190
00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:18,240
Speaker 7: beat the Chargers, we're going to start hearing Here comes Mahomes,

191
00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:19,319
Speaker 7: Here comes Andy Reid.

192
00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:23,120
Speaker 1: Isn't it remarkable though the betting markets, the Chargers are

193
00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:26,040
Speaker 1: like a three and a half point underdog, and you

194
00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:28,000
Speaker 1: watch the Chiefs offense.

195
00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:31,120
Speaker 3: What do they do well, Well, they don't.

196
00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:32,400
Speaker 7: Block the guy who got hurt on the first play.

197
00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:33,400
Speaker 7: He's out for the season now.

198
00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:39,320
Speaker 1: So it's the market still respects the Chiefs. The market does,

199
00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:42,280
Speaker 1: but you're watching them and you're like, this is what

200
00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:44,800
Speaker 1: a dynasty does. You keep giving it in your mind,

201
00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:47,240
Speaker 1: you keep giving it chance after chance after Chanck, I

202
00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:48,800
Speaker 1: think the Chargers are a better team than Chiefs.

203
00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:49,439
Speaker 3: Yes, I agree.

204
00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:51,440
Speaker 7: I mean, does the market know that Andy Reid has

205
00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:52,920
Speaker 7: turned into Dan Campbell.

206
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:54,240
Speaker 3: Going for all these four downs?

207
00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:58,200

224
00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:54,120
Speaker 2: Herd hierarchy time. Now go the top ten NFL teams

225
00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:55,920
Speaker 2: according to College Number Dad.

226
00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:58,400
Speaker 1: Well, listen, the Bills are flawed, but they have won

227
00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:01,839
Speaker 1: twelve straight home games in the December and January, and

228
00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:05,880
Speaker 1: Josh Allen has a career high completion percentage and yards

229
00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:08,640
Speaker 1: for attempt this season. I still think they're asking too

230
00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:11,480
Speaker 1: much of them, which is why they've had twelve giveaways

231
00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:14,240
Speaker 1: in five games. They're not a clean team. They can

232
00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:17,480
Speaker 1: get sloppy. They're bad against the run, although they've been

233
00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:19,920
Speaker 1: a little better in the last couple of weeks. I

234
00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:22,960
Speaker 1: think the reality is they'll go as far as Josh

235
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:26,719
Speaker 1: Allen can take them. I don't trust them situationally. They

236
00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:29,720
Speaker 1: were fumbling near the goal line this week. I think

237
00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:31,880
Speaker 1: right now, the best quarterback in the world, not the

238
00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:35,000
Speaker 1: most decorated, but the best is Josh Allen. But there's

239
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:37,840
Speaker 1: too many questions for me. They sneak in at number ten,

240
00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:41,400
Speaker 1: number nine. The Chargers are now five and zero in

241
00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:44,520
Speaker 1: prime time this season. They're a big stage team at

242
00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:48,840
Speaker 1: least in the regular season. Thirteen and four under Jim

243
00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:51,920
Speaker 1: Harbaugh in the second half of seasons. That's best in

244
00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:58,160
Speaker 1: the NFL. Remarkable with all their injuries. The offensive line's atrocious,

245
00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:01,240
Speaker 1: all beat up. The running game depends on who's healthy,

246
00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:04,360
Speaker 1: but they have a great pass defense, best in the

247
00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:07,200
Speaker 1: league since Week eight. Between the head coach and the

248
00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:11,120
Speaker 1: star coordinator and Herbert, they're in every single game.

249
00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:13,959
Speaker 3: I have the Chargers at nine, number eight.

250
00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:17,360
Speaker 1: I can't even figure the Niners out. How in the

251
00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:20,080
Speaker 1: world do they have the number one scoring defense since

252
00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:24,760
Speaker 1: Week eleven? Robert sala I don't like their defensive personnel.

253
00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:29,040
Speaker 1: I'm mid on brock party, but they've got five wins

254
00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:32,680
Speaker 1: of ten plus or more points since Week seven. That's

255
00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:36,400
Speaker 1: tied for the NFL lead. They don't get penalized. They've

256
00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:39,880
Speaker 1: got too easy games coming up, just had the bye

257
00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:45,240
Speaker 1: San Francisco. Yes, they're two Christian McCaffrey dependent, but Kittle

258
00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:48,000
Speaker 1: and Jennings and pearsall they're getting healthier.

259
00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:50,720
Speaker 3: I'll put them at eight number seven.

260
00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:53,760
Speaker 1: Texans have the best defense in the league, five game

261
00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:55,080
Speaker 1: winning streak eight of ten.

262
00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:58,600
Speaker 3: Their offense can worry me. I do like CJ. Stroud.

263
00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:02,400
Speaker 1: They have played the fourth hardest schedule in the league,

264
00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:06,280
Speaker 1: so they are battle tested. Number one scoring defense. I'll

265
00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:08,560
Speaker 1: tell you there's a couple of young defensive coaches in

266
00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:09,320
Speaker 1: this league that.

267
00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:10,680
Speaker 3: Are really sharp.

268
00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:15,240
Speaker 1: Tomico Ryans and I told you I had somebody inside

269
00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:18,640
Speaker 1: the Niners tell me years ago Demiko Ryans was going

270
00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:22,200
Speaker 1: to be a star as head coach. That Houston defense

271
00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:26,720
Speaker 1: is no fun to play. I've got him at seven,

272
00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:30,160
Speaker 1: number six. I'm gonna give it to the Bears. They

273
00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:33,720
Speaker 1: lead the NFL in turnover differential. They run the football,

274
00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:37,240
Speaker 1: they can win time of possession. People bang on Caleb

275
00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:41,160
Speaker 1: Williams completing fifty eight percent of his throws, but he

276
00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:42,960
Speaker 1: is so electric and dynamic.

277
00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:44,080
Speaker 3: I can live with that.

278
00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:47,160
Speaker 1: I think their biggest issue they give up six point

279
00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:50,280
Speaker 1: one yards of play. That's near the bottom of the NFL.

280
00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:55,360
Speaker 1: That's what worries me. It's not Caleb's lack of accuracy.

281
00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:58,080
Speaker 1: I think he got to live with that because he's

282
00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:02,200
Speaker 1: so dynamic. They've got a shore up their defense on

283
00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:05,960
Speaker 1: the average play number five Seattle.

284
00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:06,800
Speaker 3: Maybe I have.

285
00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:09,160
Speaker 1: Them low, but there's a there's a slew of teams

286
00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:11,640
Speaker 1: above them, and there's reasons why they can be reckless.

287
00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:17,360
Speaker 1: They're a run first team, they're aggressive, sometimes a little

288
00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:22,680
Speaker 1: you know, penalties, youth. I don't think they're a super

289
00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:26,160
Speaker 1: Bowl team yet. I think, like the Packers, who are young,

290
00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:29,080
Speaker 1: it'll take another year. I think Green Bay is ready

291
00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:32,040
Speaker 1: this year. They weren't last year. They have, you know,

292
00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:35,280
Speaker 1: tied for the fewest sacks allowed. Some of that's just

293
00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:38,080
Speaker 1: Darnold's good on his feet. But I have Seattle at five,

294
00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:41,560
Speaker 1: number four, But I think the Broncos rosters a little

295
00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:45,760
Speaker 1: more experienced, and I get offensive coach Sean Payton first

296
00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:50,120
Speaker 1: game though this year they have not trailed. Listen, here's

297
00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:54,360
Speaker 1: what's really impressive. Tied for the most sacks and then

298
00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:57,800
Speaker 1: the fewest allowed. You can't get to their quarterback. They

299
00:16:57,840 --> 00:17:00,840
Speaker 1: always get to yours. That's gonna served them well in

300
00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:04,960
Speaker 1: the playoffs. Offensive line. Sean Payton's got at number one

301
00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:06,280
Speaker 1: after a couple of years.

302
00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:09,639
Speaker 3: I love their roster. I really like their roster.

303
00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:12,720
Speaker 1: I wish their quarterback wasn't this uneven, but I have

304
00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:17,120
Speaker 1: them a nick ahead of Seattle number three Green Bay.

305
00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:21,280
Speaker 1: I may have them low best third down offense, tied

306
00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:25,280
Speaker 1: for the fewest giveaways. They're a very smart, clean young team.

307
00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:27,879
Speaker 1: I thought last year they were a bit too young.

308
00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:32,320
Speaker 1: I love that Christian Watson is healthy because Jordan Love

309
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:36,240
Speaker 1: like a Sam Darnold, loves to throw the deep ball

310
00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:39,320
Speaker 1: and throws a brilliant deep ball. I also think the

311
00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:43,480
Speaker 1: Mica trade was brilliant. Not not all was bad for Dallas,

312
00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:45,600
Speaker 1: but it was brilliant because they're gonna lead a lot

313
00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:47,160
Speaker 1: of games late and he's the closer.

314
00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:49,400
Speaker 3: I have Green Bay at three.

315
00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:50,320
Speaker 2: Number two.

316
00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:54,040
Speaker 1: Patriots were idle. I have them at two ten to

317
00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:57,720
Speaker 1: zero and Christian Gonzales plays their elite corner ten game

318
00:17:57,720 --> 00:18:02,359
Speaker 1: winning streak. Are they a bit young? Is Drake may ready? Listen?

319
00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:06,320
Speaker 1: They have played the easiest schedule in the NFL. That

320
00:18:06,560 --> 00:18:10,120
Speaker 1: needs to be noted. Houston could be better. Houston's played

321
00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:13,639
Speaker 1: the fourth hardest schedule, so I think they're a little

322
00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:16,920
Speaker 1: harder to judge team. We know the coach is good

323
00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:18,520
Speaker 1: in the quarterback is good, but I have them.

324
00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:20,119
Speaker 3: At two number one.

325
00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:23,760
Speaker 1: The Rams boy was Devonte Adams, a steal leads the

326
00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:29,600
Speaker 1: NFL with fourteen touchdowns. Fuku Nikua by the way, averaging

327
00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:33,080
Speaker 1: the most receiving yards per game in NFL history. Ninety

328
00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:37,760
Speaker 1: one tight ends, quarterback, head coach, running back, O line.

329
00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:42,760
Speaker 1: They have no weakness offensively other than Stafford's immobility. The

330
00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:48,240
Speaker 1: defense is young and outstanding. This feels like the most

331
00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:49,480
Speaker 1: complete team.

332
00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:50,240
Speaker 3: In the league.

333
00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:55,240
Speaker 1: And you may have noticed, I do not have Philadelphia in.

334
00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:59,760
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. I think their coach is coordinator dependent and

335
00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:06,240
Speaker 1: quarterback in Philadelphia is an if quarterback, he's circumstantial. If

336
00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:08,720
Speaker 1: the O line is healthy, if the defense is great,

337
00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:12,760
Speaker 1: if Saquan's having a great year, I have Philadelphia at eleven.

338
00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:16,320
Speaker 1: And with that, Nick Wright joining us on a Tuesday.

339
00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:20,359
Speaker 1: First things first, all right, Eagles not in. I'm not

340
00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:24,400
Speaker 1: judging rosters. I'm judging how are you today. I don't

341
00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:26,800
Speaker 1: love Buffalo, they should have lost, and I don't like

342
00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:28,280
Speaker 1: what I see from Philadelphia.

343
00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:29,760
Speaker 3: Any major complaints.

344
00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:33,080
Speaker 5: Well, I agree with you on Philadelphia, I disagree with

345
00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:38,480
Speaker 5: you on Buffalo. Let's start with Philly. Yet. You can't

346
00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:44,800
Speaker 5: be the quarterback who might be limited but always wins

347
00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:48,080
Speaker 5: and never turns the ball over and then have a

348
00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:50,600
Speaker 5: three game losing streak because you keep turning the ball

349
00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:54,280
Speaker 5: over like that doesn't work. Other quarterbacks can get away

350
00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:58,280
Speaker 5: with some rough moments because their high moments are what

351
00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:04,119
Speaker 5: carries you that been Jalen and I am really concerned

352
00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:08,399
Speaker 5: about the Eagles, and I've been saying this all year,

353
00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:11,520
Speaker 5: when the last half of the year, when there seems

354
00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:17,560
Speaker 5: like once again there is some real uneasiness within the

355
00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:22,159
Speaker 5: locker room about the offense that for different reasons but

356
00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:27,040
Speaker 5: a very similar timeline. This reminds me a lot as

357
00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:31,479
Speaker 5: a player and seemingly as relationship with his teammates of

358
00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:34,920
Speaker 5: Russell Wilson in Seattle Little they both went to two

359
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:38,200
Speaker 5: Super Bowls. They Russ won the first, lost the second.

360
00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:41,320
Speaker 5: Jalen did it in the reverse order. They're both excellent

361
00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:47,040
Speaker 5: deep ball throwers and efficient short throwers, struggling the intermediate stuff,

362
00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:51,280
Speaker 5: dynamic with their legs when they want to be, yet

363
00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:56,359
Speaker 5: didn't seemingly get all the credit for the championship. And

364
00:20:56,640 --> 00:21:00,679
Speaker 5: also there seems to be a real disconnect between the player,

365
00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:03,800
Speaker 5: the quarterback and the rest of the locker room that

366
00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:06,960
Speaker 5: came to a head in Seattle, and I think it's

367
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:11,639
Speaker 5: coming to a head in Philadelphia and that interception last night, Colin,

368
00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:15,480
Speaker 5: not that one or this one or the next one,

369
00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:19,240
Speaker 5: the other one, the last one. You can't make this

370
00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:22,960
Speaker 5: mistake on first in ten and overtime. You just can't.

371
00:21:23,119 --> 00:21:27,480
Speaker 5: And so yeah, and I know what his record is,

372
00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:31,520
Speaker 5: and it's unbelievable. And Jalen, to his credit, is a

373
00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:34,959
Speaker 5: great big game quarterback. Great We've seen him play excellent

374
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:38,840
Speaker 5: in two Super Bowls. But I also know what Sirianni's

375
00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:42,520
Speaker 5: record is, and it's alongside John Madden for the best

376
00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:45,320
Speaker 5: winning percentage for a coach start of his career. I

377
00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:48,760
Speaker 5: don't trust Sirianni to get it right, and I don't

378
00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:51,800
Speaker 5: think an inflatable bunny in the locker room fixes it.

379
00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:54,800
Speaker 5: And if I sound a little extra harsh, sorry to

380
00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:59,120
Speaker 5: keep ranting, it's because misery loves company, Colin. And if

381
00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:01,800
Speaker 5: the Chiefs are going down, we're pulling a lot of

382
00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:02,760
Speaker 5: teams with us.

383
00:22:03,040 --> 00:22:05,639
Speaker 2: Be sure to catch live editions of The Herd weekdays

384
00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:08,800
Speaker 2: and noon eastern nin a em Pacific on Fox Sports

385
00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:11,720
Speaker 2: Radio FS one and the iHeartRadio app.

386
00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:15,800
Speaker 1: Well, yesterday we were all concerned at Fox Sports when

387
00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:18,560
Speaker 1: I turned on your show and I saw a stretcher.

388
00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:19,080
Speaker 3: Come out.

389
00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:21,199
Speaker 1: Now, you did have a pack of smoke, so that

390
00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:22,680
Speaker 1: let me know you were still breathing.

391
00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:26,840
Speaker 5: But there was a lot of concern here. Explain you

392
00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:30,600
Speaker 5: were you were so concerned. Yeah, that's why you checked

393
00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:33,919
Speaker 5: in on me. You're so worried. You were laughing making

394
00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:36,879
Speaker 5: fun of me. You and j Mack going over what

395
00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:39,679
Speaker 5: should have been your freezing cold off season takes and

396
00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:40,840
Speaker 5: instead reveling and them.

397
00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:43,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, go ahead, I said yesterday.

398
00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:48,880
Speaker 1: Is it a reboot or a subtle re build? This

399
00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:51,239
Speaker 1: may not just be a tweak and they can do it,

400
00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:53,440
Speaker 1: by the way, you could see what Mike Vrabel did.

401
00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:56,520
Speaker 1: It's and you have Mahomes and Andy Reid. I got

402
00:22:56,520 --> 00:22:59,600
Speaker 1: a when I watched Seattle in the rams and when

403
00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:02,280
Speaker 1: I watched the Texans, and I see the athleticism and

404
00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:05,639
Speaker 1: the speed and the youth. Are the Chiefs to rebuild

405
00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:06,360
Speaker 1: this point?

406
00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:10,920
Speaker 5: Well, no, you're never a rebuild if you have one

407
00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:14,919
Speaker 5: of the greatest quarterbacks ever in his prime. But they listen,

408
00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:18,200
Speaker 5: this isn't a fluke. Just like last year. I was

409
00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:22,480
Speaker 5: adamant that that team was a great team and everyone's like,

410
00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:25,560
Speaker 5: but the margin of victory and the close wins Winning

411
00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:29,359
Speaker 5: in the NFL is a skill, just like a great

412
00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:34,359
Speaker 5: tennis player understands there's like four or five points in

413
00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:37,320
Speaker 5: the match that actually matter. I'm going to win those.

414
00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:42,160
Speaker 5: The Chiefs last year understood that, and this year they

415
00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:45,480
Speaker 5: have been the opposite. At the highest leverage moments of

416
00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:48,919
Speaker 5: these games, they've been at their worst. And it started.

417
00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:51,720
Speaker 5: I can chapter and verse it just quickly for you.

418
00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:55,959
Speaker 5: Con then I'll talk to rebuild. Week one, third and fifteen,

419
00:23:56,400 --> 00:24:00,040
Speaker 5: fourth quarter against Justin Herbert. Get off the field and

420
00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:03,040
Speaker 5: you can win the game. Chris Jones doesn't keep contained

421
00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:07,800
Speaker 5: Week two, about to take the lead against Philadelphia despite

422
00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:12,280
Speaker 5: being outplayed. Kelsey lets it go off his hands against

423
00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:16,359
Speaker 5: the Jaguars. You're about to put that game away. Mahomes

424
00:24:16,359 --> 00:24:20,159
Speaker 5: doesn't see the d Linemen lurking pick six against the

425
00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:23,800
Speaker 5: Broncos fourth quarter lead. Bo Nicks in a third and

426
00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:27,040
Speaker 5: long you let him pick it up. And then a

427
00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:31,439
Speaker 5: comedy of errors on Sunday night, from Andy's decision to

428
00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:34,119
Speaker 5: go for it when the Texans Ofphins was dead to

429
00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:38,280
Speaker 5: Travis once again mishandling a pass Patrick having some unchar

430
00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:43,480
Speaker 5: uncharacteristic mistakes. This team deserves to be six and seven.

431
00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:46,080
Speaker 5: There is no denying it. But what I would tell

432
00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:51,720
Speaker 5: you is this, and it's the similarities are stunning in

433
00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:56,000
Speaker 5: this regard Brady who Mahomes is always compared to. Brady

434
00:24:56,240 --> 00:24:59,720
Speaker 5: in year seven played in a super Bowl to win

435
00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:03,160
Speaker 5: his fourth Super Bowl and be cemented as the greatest

436
00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:07,159
Speaker 5: team ever. They lost. And then over the next three

437
00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:13,200
Speaker 5: years Colin the Patriots won zero playoff games and got

438
00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:15,520
Speaker 5: blown out in the playoffs, including a loss to Mark

439
00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:19,240
Speaker 5: Sanchez at home. Zero playoff wins over three years. Patrick

440
00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:22,480
Speaker 5: Mahomes in his seventh year as a starter, played in

441
00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:24,480
Speaker 5: the Super Bowl to win his fourth super Bowl and

442
00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:27,479
Speaker 5: be the greatest team ever. They lost, and right now

443
00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:30,280
Speaker 5: they look like they're going to miss the playoffs. Now,

444
00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:33,080
Speaker 5: I don't think they're going to go two more years

445
00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:36,440
Speaker 5: without a playoff win, but it does EBB and flow.

446
00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:39,880
Speaker 5: And so the Chiefs right now, for the first time

447
00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:42,719
Speaker 5: in the Mahomes Zerra are not a great team and

448
00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:46,359
Speaker 5: they have to reckon with that and figure out what

449
00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:48,720
Speaker 5: needs to be done in the offseason too, correct it.

450
00:25:49,359 --> 00:25:54,160
Speaker 1: Listen, I've said this before. It's one thing if you're

451
00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:57,280
Speaker 1: a millionaire and you're a trust fund kid, it's another

452
00:25:57,359 --> 00:25:59,920
Speaker 1: if you grew up in chaos and you're a millionaire.

453
00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:05,440
Speaker 1: They're not all even I said earlier, some quarterbacks are

454
00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:09,520
Speaker 1: hot air balloons. They're weather dependent, Jalen Hurts, summer fighter pilots.

455
00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:12,680
Speaker 1: Just give me the coordinates, all land the plane. Herbert

456
00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:14,880
Speaker 1: has an atrocious soul line. They've been on a third

457
00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:17,840
Speaker 1: string running back. They're in a division with the rating

458
00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:22,840
Speaker 1: super Bowl Dynasty and Sean Payton, the Denver's pass rush elite,

459
00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:26,120
Speaker 1: and here's Herbert nine and four. They shouldn't have won

460
00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:29,119
Speaker 1: the game, broken hand, stiff arming people. Listen, I know

461
00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:33,359
Speaker 1: he doesn't have the pelts, but even you last night

462
00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:37,600
Speaker 1: watching Herbert nine and four, weren't you a little impressed

463
00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:37,960
Speaker 1: with him?

464
00:26:38,080 --> 00:26:38,600
Speaker 3: A little?

465
00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:42,919
Speaker 5: Well, well, listen, I don't. I'm not anti Justin Herbert,

466
00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:45,920
Speaker 5: first of all. Second of all, last night is it's

467
00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:48,720
Speaker 5: such an intro. This is here's my issue.

468
00:26:48,760 --> 00:26:48,920
Speaker 1: Now.

469
00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:51,360
Speaker 5: I know I'm talking to a guy, and I don't

470
00:26:51,359 --> 00:26:52,959
Speaker 5: know if we can put Colin back on the screen.

471
00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:56,960
Speaker 5: But who in all of a sudden new age Colin Cowherd.

472
00:26:57,200 --> 00:26:58,720
Speaker 5: You said, I know he doesn't have the pelts on

473
00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:02,000
Speaker 5: the wall. I don't think Colin Cowhard believes in walls

474
00:27:02,040 --> 00:27:05,439
Speaker 5: or pelts or anything. I heard yesterday. I heard you

475
00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:07,560
Speaker 5: call Josh Allen the greatest player in the history of

476
00:27:07,600 --> 00:27:11,719
Speaker 5: the sport, A guy who's played your friend, a friend

477
00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:15,640
Speaker 5: of yours, a personal friend of yours. Tom Brady went

478
00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:19,200
Speaker 5: to ten Super Bowls. Joss Elism, You're like johns. Allen's

479
00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:21,639
Speaker 5: the greatest player I've ever seen. So I listen. I

480
00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:24,440
Speaker 5: know your very new age. It's you know, the factor.

481
00:27:24,920 --> 00:27:28,800
Speaker 5: Here is what I find frustrating about some of the

482
00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:33,760
Speaker 5: Herbert discourse. All Right, So I think despite a horrible

483
00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:38,640
Speaker 5: stat line, he was really impressive yesterday, despite the fact

484
00:27:38,680 --> 00:27:40,440
Speaker 5: that half his yards came on a dump off to

485
00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:46,920
Speaker 5: Kamani Dal. I thought his toughness, his running the circumstances,

486
00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:50,720
Speaker 5: that was impressive. But I feel like I'm allowed to

487
00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:56,920
Speaker 5: think that way because I was not also being like, hey,

488
00:27:57,440 --> 00:28:00,399
Speaker 5: I know they lost a game they had no business losing,

489
00:28:00,680 --> 00:28:03,400
Speaker 5: But did you see how many yards Justin Herbert threw

490
00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:06,880
Speaker 5: for and how pretty the throws were. The folks who

491
00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:11,399
Speaker 5: for years have been the biggest Justin Herbert defenders that

492
00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:15,280
Speaker 5: are like, yeah, wins are in a quarterback stat you

493
00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:16,560
Speaker 5: what are you talking about?

494
00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:17,040
Speaker 3: Clutch?

495
00:28:17,359 --> 00:28:20,560
Speaker 5: Like just watch him throw. Are gonna now with yesterday?

496
00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:22,800
Speaker 5: They'll be like, yeah, I understand he had a passer

497
00:28:22,840 --> 00:28:25,400
Speaker 5: rating of forty and threw a bunch of turnovers. But man,

498
00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:27,840
Speaker 5: the guy sure knows how to win, doesn't He Like,

499
00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:30,520
Speaker 5: you got to pick the lane here, and so that

500
00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:33,720
Speaker 5: that's my frustration there. I also, you know what we're

501
00:28:33,760 --> 00:28:38,240
Speaker 5: staring at, Colin Herbert versus the Prince in the playoffs again,

502
00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:40,920
Speaker 5: We're still We're right down the barrel of that gun,

503
00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:42,120
Speaker 5: and I'm excited to see it.

504
00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:50,920
Speaker 1: I said about Shador Sanders is that I understood the

505
00:28:50,960 --> 00:28:54,360
Speaker 1: t bow delusion. He was winning and there was the

506
00:28:54,440 --> 00:29:00,800
Speaker 1: Christianity connection with Shaduur. It's almost like the trends seven.

507
00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:03,120
Speaker 1: You can try to explain it to me. I don't

508
00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:05,840
Speaker 1: get it. He's not winning. He seems like a nice

509
00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:11,760
Speaker 1: enough kid. I the conspiratorial feel, the conspiracy theory stuff.

510
00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:14,960
Speaker 1: Dylan Gabriel set a college record with stars. He was

511
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:17,480
Speaker 1: more ready to play early, but Shadur's more talented.

512
00:29:17,640 --> 00:29:18,120
Speaker 3: That's it?

513
00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:22,240
Speaker 1: Or am I missing something? This this belief they're trying

514
00:29:22,280 --> 00:29:26,880
Speaker 1: to bury Shadure. I don't culturally get it. What I

515
00:29:26,960 --> 00:29:30,280
Speaker 1: got tebow shoulder is much better than Tbou. I don't

516
00:29:30,360 --> 00:29:32,880
Speaker 1: get the animosity towards Stefanski.

517
00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:33,600
Speaker 3: What am I missing?

518
00:29:34,480 --> 00:29:38,040
Speaker 5: Well, I mean, I listen, I don't I have said

519
00:29:38,080 --> 00:29:41,480
Speaker 5: this now for a couple of days. Don't assign to

520
00:29:41,640 --> 00:29:46,400
Speaker 5: malice what can be explained to stupidity like the I

521
00:29:46,440 --> 00:29:50,480
Speaker 5: don't think it takes a conspiracy to get to where

522
00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:53,600
Speaker 5: we've gotten with the Browns handling of the quarterback position.

523
00:29:54,320 --> 00:29:58,000
Speaker 5: I just think I think the simpler answer is Kevin

524
00:29:58,080 --> 00:30:04,000
Speaker 5: Stefanski my make some really poor decisions and the two

525
00:30:04,080 --> 00:30:08,440
Speaker 5: point conversion was a poor decision. Whenever you make a

526
00:30:08,480 --> 00:30:12,200
Speaker 5: play call that is so bad and goes so poorly

527
00:30:12,720 --> 00:30:18,520
Speaker 5: that people's only explanation is you must be intentionally sabotaging

528
00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:23,000
Speaker 5: your team, it means that's probably one you would like back,

529
00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:26,880
Speaker 5: and it does. Listen. I don't buy the conspiracy piece

530
00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:30,320
Speaker 5: of it. I do think it's I know this will

531
00:30:30,320 --> 00:30:34,520
Speaker 5: shock people. I think it's possible that the Browns organizationally

532
00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:38,160
Speaker 5: make a lot of poor decisions, not the most buttoned

533
00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:42,080
Speaker 5: up don't have the quarterback thing figured out. And I

534
00:30:42,160 --> 00:30:46,480
Speaker 5: also think that the game we saw Shador play on Sunday,

535
00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:50,200
Speaker 5: I don't think Dylan Gabriel is capable of playing at

536
00:30:50,280 --> 00:30:54,040
Speaker 5: that level. Now, Shador will make some mistakes, Gabriel might

537
00:30:54,080 --> 00:30:56,440
Speaker 5: not make, but at least there are some big plays,

538
00:30:57,040 --> 00:31:01,920
Speaker 5: and so it was wholly lot the only here's my problem,

539
00:31:02,040 --> 00:31:06,800
Speaker 5: my biggest problem with Stefanski's two point conversion decision. Yeah,

540
00:31:06,840 --> 00:31:13,800
Speaker 5: the only way this silly conspiracy stuff continues after that

541
00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:18,800
Speaker 5: game is by that decision. If you simply call a

542
00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:21,560
Speaker 5: regular handoff or let shud or throw the way, if

543
00:31:21,600 --> 00:31:24,600
Speaker 5: you do literally anything else for at least a week,

544
00:31:25,160 --> 00:31:28,880
Speaker 5: the noise around your team dies down because Schor's the starter.

545
00:31:29,360 --> 00:31:32,880
Speaker 5: He played well, win or lose. Instead, you do a

546
00:31:32,920 --> 00:31:36,720
Speaker 5: wildcat reverse pass that looked like the worst play in

547
00:31:36,760 --> 00:31:39,760
Speaker 5: the NFL this season that Max Brosmer wasn't involved in.

548
00:31:40,160 --> 00:31:44,000
Speaker 1: And I don't understand it. So I'm a college football

549
00:31:44,120 --> 00:31:47,000
Speaker 1: die hard. I thought Miami deserved to be an over

550
00:31:47,080 --> 00:31:50,280
Speaker 1: Notre Dame. I think Notre I said this earlier. You know,

551
00:31:50,600 --> 00:31:53,880
Speaker 1: Notre Dame won't commit put a ring on it. They

552
00:31:53,960 --> 00:31:56,720
Speaker 1: won't ACC's as something to marry him. Three times and

553
00:31:56,760 --> 00:32:00,360
Speaker 1: they're like, we're not quite ready. Well, so the CC

554
00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:04,920
Speaker 1: backed twenty one year member Miami, who was more deserving anyway,

555
00:32:04,960 --> 00:32:08,840
Speaker 1: and said, we got Miami's back, and now now Notre Dame's, like,

556
00:32:08,880 --> 00:32:12,160
Speaker 1: you know, feels like we're on an island out here,

557
00:32:12,360 --> 00:32:14,920
Speaker 1: yet you're independent. Still, you've been in an island of

558
00:32:14,960 --> 00:32:18,400
Speaker 1: your choosing. That's so thin that I think they mostly

559
00:32:18,400 --> 00:32:21,120
Speaker 1: got it right. I was very happy Miami got inn

560
00:32:21,160 --> 00:32:21,760
Speaker 1: over Notre Dame.

561
00:32:22,040 --> 00:32:23,880
Speaker 3: I mean, you have acknowledged that you're.

562
00:32:23,760 --> 00:32:25,680
Speaker 1: Not a huge college football fan, but I like that

563
00:32:25,760 --> 00:32:28,720
Speaker 1: because you tend to embrace the bigger macro topics. What

564
00:32:28,760 --> 00:32:31,200
Speaker 1: did you make of the playoff announcement?

565
00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:34,040
Speaker 5: So I think you're gonna love this, Colin, So I,

566
00:32:34,120 --> 00:32:36,440
Speaker 5: first of all, I agree with you. Miami over Notre

567
00:32:36,520 --> 00:32:38,479
Speaker 5: Dame was very simple. They had the same record, they

568
00:32:38,520 --> 00:32:40,960
Speaker 5: played each other, Miami won. Like you can say that's

569
00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:42,960
Speaker 5: caveman stuff, like I don't know, I think the game

570
00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:46,640
Speaker 5: should matter, yeah, but I don't actually care about that

571
00:32:46,680 --> 00:32:49,080
Speaker 5: piece of it. Because here is my argument, and leave

572
00:32:49,120 --> 00:32:52,280
Speaker 5: the bracket up and seev agree with me. I wanted

573
00:32:52,280 --> 00:32:58,440
Speaker 5: the playoff expanded from four to twelve for seasons exactly

574
00:32:58,640 --> 00:33:02,680
Speaker 5: like this one. There is one team Indiana that in

575
00:33:02,720 --> 00:33:05,960
Speaker 5: any system ever was going to get in, and then

576
00:33:07,280 --> 00:33:11,920
Speaker 5: four to six teams that all had a legitimate claim

577
00:33:11,960 --> 00:33:15,040
Speaker 5: to be in the top four, because without the new

578
00:33:15,080 --> 00:33:22,240
Speaker 5: playoff system, what do you do about Georgia, Ohio State Tech, Oregon, Ole, miss,

579
00:33:22,280 --> 00:33:24,920
Speaker 5: A and M. They all have one loss, they all

580
00:33:24,960 --> 00:33:29,120
Speaker 5: have an argument. So that for me, the entire purpose

581
00:33:29,200 --> 00:33:32,600
Speaker 5: of the playoff is to make sure A and M

582
00:33:33,080 --> 00:33:36,160
Speaker 5: on up. If you will, A and M, Oregon, Ole,

583
00:33:36,240 --> 00:33:39,080
Speaker 5: miss and in the top four teams have a chance

584
00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:43,440
Speaker 5: to compete for a national championship. After that, I simply

585
00:33:43,440 --> 00:33:46,840
Speaker 5: don't care. And you're lucky you got included. Like everyone

586
00:33:46,960 --> 00:33:51,280
Speaker 5: who is not a no doubt inclusion doesn't get to complain.

587
00:33:51,640 --> 00:33:55,840
Speaker 5: The playoff was not created to make sure the tenth

588
00:33:55,960 --> 00:33:58,440
Speaker 5: best team in the nation can have a chance to

589
00:33:58,480 --> 00:34:02,160
Speaker 5: win the national championship. The playoff, for me, was created

590
00:34:02,600 --> 00:34:06,120
Speaker 5: to make sure a team that actually might be the

591
00:34:06,160 --> 00:34:09,840
Speaker 5: third best team in the country doesn't get left out

592
00:34:09,880 --> 00:34:14,520
Speaker 5: because they're fifth ranked Oregon. That's what so I think

593
00:34:14,560 --> 00:34:16,799
Speaker 5: they got it right. First of all, I actually might

594
00:34:16,840 --> 00:34:20,279
Speaker 5: have considered Notre Dame over Alabama, but forget that. But

595
00:34:20,520 --> 00:34:24,360
Speaker 5: everyone after A and M is on a free pass.

596
00:34:24,600 --> 00:34:27,600
Speaker 5: You lost twice, you gave the committee a reason to

597
00:34:27,719 --> 00:34:30,920
Speaker 5: leave you out. You're lucky. You got in. Everyone from

598
00:34:30,960 --> 00:34:34,000
Speaker 5: A and M up is why the playoff was created,

599
00:34:34,040 --> 00:34:35,000
Speaker 5: and I'm happy about it.

600
00:34:35,320 --> 00:34:37,239
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, I think it's a good take.

601
00:34:37,280 --> 00:34:40,719
Speaker 1: And I also always had my country club theory is

602
00:34:40,800 --> 00:34:44,640
Speaker 1: that you think the more you expand the country club

603
00:34:44,760 --> 00:34:48,080
Speaker 1: from thirty members to sixty, everybody will be happy. But

604
00:34:48,160 --> 00:34:52,759
Speaker 1: what happens is you weren't allowed in, and then your

605
00:34:52,880 --> 00:34:56,200
Speaker 1: neighbor gets in as the sixtieth person. You're like, I

606
00:34:56,280 --> 00:34:59,080
Speaker 1: make more than him, I'm a nicer guy than him,

607
00:34:59,080 --> 00:35:00,880
Speaker 1: I've lived in the community longer, I'm.

608
00:35:00,719 --> 00:35:01,600
Speaker 3: A better golfer.

609
00:35:02,040 --> 00:35:07,120
Speaker 1: The more you expand the playoff, the surlier the arguments.

610
00:35:07,120 --> 00:35:09,160
Speaker 3: Again, if it was two teams, you'd.

611
00:35:08,920 --> 00:35:11,640
Speaker 1: Be like, well, Indiana, and then you have one argument,

612
00:35:11,840 --> 00:35:14,880
Speaker 1: Ohio sout or Georgia. So I think what happens is

613
00:35:14,880 --> 00:35:18,879
Speaker 1: when we expand playoffs, we think it's going to dim and.

614
00:35:18,960 --> 00:35:20,279
Speaker 3: Lessen the arguments.

615
00:35:20,640 --> 00:35:23,719
Speaker 1: The more you go the country club, the more people go, well,

616
00:35:23,760 --> 00:35:26,680
Speaker 1: my neighbor got in, Well why you need to get in?

617
00:35:27,280 --> 00:35:30,640
Speaker 5: It expands the argument. But what I like about it

618
00:35:30,680 --> 00:35:35,520
Speaker 5: is it makes the argument less have less gravity because

619
00:35:35,520 --> 00:35:39,840
Speaker 5: if it was still four teams, there is a really

620
00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:44,240
Speaker 5: like Texas Tech versus Oregon is a really really hard

621
00:35:44,360 --> 00:35:47,920
Speaker 5: call and Ole miss in A and M. While I

622
00:35:48,080 --> 00:35:51,440
Speaker 5: think they're a cut beneath Tech and Oregon would feel like,

623
00:35:51,600 --> 00:35:56,719
Speaker 5: wait a minute, why aren't we included? And so expanding

624
00:35:56,760 --> 00:35:59,320
Speaker 5: it the way they have I think is really smart.

625
00:35:59,600 --> 00:36:04,000
Speaker 5: I would not expanded any further. And I also do

626
00:36:04,239 --> 00:36:08,160
Speaker 5: like the fact that Duke didn't get in just because

627
00:36:08,239 --> 00:36:11,680
Speaker 5: they won their conference championship, Like, if we're going to

628
00:36:11,719 --> 00:36:14,560
Speaker 5: put a team in that has no shot of winning

629
00:36:14,640 --> 00:36:17,800
Speaker 5: the whole thing, having it be a one loss James

630
00:36:17,840 --> 00:36:21,040
Speaker 5: Madison as opposed to a five loss Duke, I like

631
00:36:21,120 --> 00:36:21,680
Speaker 5: that a lot.

632
00:36:22,239 --> 00:36:22,919
Speaker 3: Yeah.

633
00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:25,319
Speaker 1: By the way, because of hippolaws, we can't tell you

634
00:36:25,440 --> 00:36:28,200
Speaker 1: what was wrong with Nick right yesterday. But the video

635
00:36:28,320 --> 00:36:29,719
Speaker 1: is so dramatic. Let's show it again.

636
00:36:29,800 --> 00:36:35,040
Speaker 5: Broken heart, Colin, that's what's wrong, broken heart? And I'll

637
00:36:35,080 --> 00:36:37,880
Speaker 5: tell you one other thing because I might have to

638
00:36:37,960 --> 00:36:41,000
Speaker 5: hit you off the air for you know, a bridge loan.

639
00:36:41,640 --> 00:36:44,239
Speaker 5: It's also I'm gonna send this video to all my

640
00:36:44,360 --> 00:36:48,200
Speaker 5: creditors after this football season because I'm being reminded that

641
00:36:48,360 --> 00:36:53,600
Speaker 5: all my preseason futures bets I tied and the Chiefs

642
00:36:53,640 --> 00:36:56,080
Speaker 5: making the playoffs to them to get a little extra

643
00:36:56,200 --> 00:36:59,799
Speaker 5: juice and now all that's come and do on me, buddy.

644
00:36:59,840 --> 00:37:02,160
Speaker 5: I'm I'm in a rough way. I'm in a rough

645
00:37:02,239 --> 00:37:02,680
Speaker 5: rough way.

646
00:37:02,719 --> 00:37:06,440
Speaker 1: My friend, Well, Sam Darnold can still win a Super Bowl,

647
00:37:06,480 --> 00:37:08,320
Speaker 1: so I'll be the medic that saves your life.

648
00:37:08,400 --> 00:37:08,759
Speaker 3: That's all.

649
00:37:08,840 --> 00:37:11,880
Speaker 5: Well, thank god. I appreciate it, buddy, But more than that,

650
00:37:11,960 --> 00:37:14,240
Speaker 5: I just need some money. Talk to you later, Colin.

651
00:37:14,440 --> 00:37:18,359
Speaker 1: All right, Nick Wright, First things first, very funny show yesterday. Yeah,

652
00:37:18,400 --> 00:37:20,520
Speaker 1: the you know, you expand the playoffs to me, and

653
00:37:20,560 --> 00:37:23,280
Speaker 1: everybody says, Okay, that'll solve it. No, it just opens

654
00:37:23,360 --> 00:37:25,920
Speaker 1: up more arguments. I think we had an amazing college

655
00:37:25,920 --> 00:37:28,920
Speaker 1: football season. I loved it. I thought the committee mostly

656
00:37:28,920 --> 00:37:32,160
Speaker 1: got it right. And if you want to expand it,

657
00:37:32,400 --> 00:37:35,399
Speaker 1: I'm fine with that. I don't. I think the one

658
00:37:35,440 --> 00:37:39,000
Speaker 1: thing I'll say is everybody kept telling me blowing up

659
00:37:39,040 --> 00:37:43,040
Speaker 1: the Pac twelve would ruin college football. Didn't, Nil would

660
00:37:43,080 --> 00:37:44,040
Speaker 1: ruin college football?

661
00:37:44,120 --> 00:37:44,440
Speaker 3: Didn't.

662
00:37:45,200 --> 00:37:48,880
Speaker 1: Transfer portal was bad for college football, isn't. They're not perfect.

663
00:37:49,719 --> 00:37:52,840
Speaker 1: I mean it's the transfer portal feels sometimes moving a

664
00:37:52,880 --> 00:37:55,839
Speaker 1: little fast for my taste. But coaches are moving all

665
00:37:55,880 --> 00:37:58,080
Speaker 1: over the place. They're Lane Kiffin's leave it in the

666
00:37:58,080 --> 00:38:00,319
Speaker 1: middle of the night, so if players leave, they leave

667
00:38:01,360 --> 00:38:01,920
Speaker 1: good stuff.

668
00:38:02,080 --> 00:38:02,600
Speaker 3: It's the hurt
