Speaker 1: Around the NFL podcast shouldn't be running on subpar tur

9
00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:33,440
Speaker 1: Welcome to another edition of the Around the NFL podcast,

10
00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:36,880
Speaker 1: presented by the United States Marine Corps. My name is

11
00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:40,400
Speaker 1: Dan Hansas. Joined in root build the Heroes, Mark Sessler,

12
00:00:40,479 --> 00:00:47,480
Speaker 1: Chris Westling, and Greg Rosa thought, what is up? Boys? Hey? Dan? WHOA?

13
00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:52,720
Speaker 1: What's up? Mark? Not too much feeling good? It's the

14
00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:55,880
Speaker 1: middle of the week almost How are you seven years

15
00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:59,480
Speaker 1: guys together that this chemistry does not even almost just

16
00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:02,640
Speaker 1: happen overnight? Listeners, I mean you can't teach this. We

17
00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:09,760
Speaker 1: are entering week eleven, Mark effective Thursday. Um. Famously, your

18
00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:12,400
Speaker 1: your view of what the NFL calendar is is different

19
00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:15,520
Speaker 1: than some others. Do you feel that we're halfway through

20
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:18,399
Speaker 1: the season yet? I do? I also think that you

21
00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:21,399
Speaker 1: know you it was a narrative for many years that

22
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:24,559
Speaker 1: by now I had basically given up on the sport

23
00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:27,760
Speaker 1: and moved on to an off season mentality. It's not

24
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:30,479
Speaker 1: true this time around, you feel good, you feel fresh.

25
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:32,760
Speaker 1: It wasn't true last year. It just I like to

26
00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:36,600
Speaker 1: kill old narratives that aren't actually based in fact anymore.

27
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:39,640
Speaker 1: I'm enjoying the season the best I can. My team

28
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:42,520
Speaker 1: can continues to be a hot mess on wheels, but

29
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:45,319
Speaker 1: that's been a consistent B line through it all. You know,

30
00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:48,200
Speaker 1: it helps give you a little turbo boost your Super

31
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:53,200
Speaker 1: Bowl prediction Seattle Seahawks that is on Classic It's gonna

32
00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:56,040
Speaker 1: it's gonna give. It's like, you know, injecting one of

33
00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:58,080
Speaker 1: those B twelves or whatever into your fay when you

34
00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:01,120
Speaker 1: can revise your Super Bowl pick in early November and

35
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:04,000
Speaker 1: then sort of just right, we did that out like

36
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:07,320
Speaker 1: it was some great predicted that no one needs to

37
00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:10,480
Speaker 1: know about the nuances involved. It just looks good right now.

38
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:13,720
Speaker 1: Does give me an idea that, um, right after Super

39
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:15,480
Speaker 1: Bowl or with like two minutes ago in the Super

40
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:18,880
Speaker 1: Bowl when the games decided, I will manipulate a photo

41
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:21,600
Speaker 1: to make it seem like it was a post with

42
00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:23,680
Speaker 1: those super Bowl teams and then the score off by

43
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:27,200
Speaker 1: like two points. So if it's one, I'll have it

44
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:31,880
Speaker 1: and be like almost got it, just missed that. It works.

45
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:34,720
Speaker 1: It's an effective strategy. Employ it. It gives me a

46
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:36,800
Speaker 1: chance to, you know, bring up the fact that I

47
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:41,120
Speaker 1: got the Ravens forty nine or super Bowl score correct

48
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:43,560
Speaker 1: when we did our podcast way back in the day,

49
00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:45,359
Speaker 1: or what did we not have a podcast back then?

50
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:47,760
Speaker 1: Maybe that was this NFL do nobody cares. I predicted

51
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:50,920
Speaker 1: the blackout though, which is a different type of prediction

52
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:55,240
Speaker 1: to Nail. I. I predicted the Antler spray drama. Another

53
00:02:55,320 --> 00:03:00,120
Speaker 1: one to that game West at that point was a

54
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:03,359
Speaker 1: dock with a drink in his hand and a laptop

55
00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:08,400
Speaker 1: in Los Angeles, in Los Angeles reporting during that Super

56
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:13,160
Speaker 1: Bowl footloose and fancy free. All right, Anyway, that's the past.

57
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:16,760
Speaker 1: That was then. This is now and we have a

58
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:19,919
Speaker 1: lot to get to. Um I mentioned week eleven, we're

59
00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:23,519
Speaker 1: gonna preview that first game it's the Steelers at the Browns.

60
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:27,640
Speaker 1: I think we already we already talked about, um the

61
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:30,359
Speaker 1: Broncos game being a dirt knap game for the Browns.

62
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:34,600
Speaker 1: So but actually after some teams lose and the Browns

63
00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:36,880
Speaker 1: win if they if they figure out a way to

64
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:39,960
Speaker 1: win that game, people in Cleveland are gonna be excited.

65
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:41,320
Speaker 1: I'll tell you that. I don't know about you, Mark,

66
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:45,680
Speaker 1: people in Cleveland will be yes. We will also, UM,

67
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:49,600
Speaker 1: we're thinking about this, you know, with UM coaches, and

68
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:52,400
Speaker 1: this will be become a bigger and bigger storyline as

69
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:54,960
Speaker 1: we get closer, because now it's reached the stage in

70
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:58,320
Speaker 1: the NFL where a full quarter of the coaches get

71
00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:02,600
Speaker 1: fired every year. I mean, that's crazy. One fourth of

72
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:06,280
Speaker 1: the coaches go down UM and backing out like a

73
00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:09,280
Speaker 1: rule from the competition committed, not a rule. Imagine if

74
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:12,000
Speaker 1: it was now, that would be kind of fun. I

75
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:15,160
Speaker 1: mean everyone right, but it would be intriguing. They wouldn't

76
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:16,839
Speaker 1: stick with the rule anyway. So I looked it up

77
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:20,120
Speaker 1: about three months ago, almost three months ago exactly, I

78
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:22,680
Speaker 1: wrote a column on this site about hot butts and

79
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:25,520
Speaker 1: the hot butt rankings for head coaches. That's not the

80
00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:28,400
Speaker 1: headline they ran, but that's what it was. So we

81
00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:32,160
Speaker 1: could resurface that list and and check in UM where

82
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:35,440
Speaker 1: those coaches are, and see what we think about coaches

83
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:37,080
Speaker 1: as we enter kind of the home structure of the

84
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:41,080
Speaker 1: regular season, and it also neatly ties in with and

85
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:43,000
Speaker 1: we've been talking about this. We've been building this up

86
00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:47,880
Speaker 1: for a week. Erica Tampose her seg for the Around

87
00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:51,239
Speaker 1: the NFL podcast. See, you took this what I wanted

88
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:53,599
Speaker 1: to do and turn it into a little something different,

89
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:56,080
Speaker 1: which is cool because we like to create together. Right,

90
00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:57,839
Speaker 1: So you thought I was gonna come out here and

91
00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:01,480
Speaker 1: be all like, you know, but I'm not. No, No,

92
00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:03,760
Speaker 1: I would never say that, and I would never feel that.

93
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:08,040
Speaker 1: I am excited because Ricky brought up the idea. Well,

94
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:10,400
Speaker 1: if we're talking about hot butts, what about our own

95
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:14,040
Speaker 1: person or past and some stories when our butts got

96
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:16,080
Speaker 1: so hot we got kicked out of the chair. So

97
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:20,240
Speaker 1: we'll all share a little dismissal story from our youth. Downstairs,

98
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:23,480
Speaker 1: the new newsroom gugs like, oh, I'm so functional everywhere

99
00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:25,320
Speaker 1: I go. I can't even think of it place. I

100
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:28,599
Speaker 1: didn't say that. It was kind of was that terrible.

101
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:31,800
Speaker 1: But I'm not gonna like make up a story that

102
00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:34,880
Speaker 1: you've ever been fired, say not fired, I mean I've

103
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:37,279
Speaker 1: like stopped showing up or whatever. I have a story

104
00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:40,000
Speaker 1: that I've only been fired once. Right, Ricky, I want

105
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:41,720
Speaker 1: you to share a story too. If you have one

106
00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:45,200
Speaker 1: Strawberry season just ends right, that's you can't get fired

107
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:47,000
Speaker 1: from the strawberry job. That's what did they ask you

108
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:52,080
Speaker 1: when you contract? Did they say, let's there's there's certainly

109
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:55,800
Speaker 1: no contract. Everything is highly illegal what they were doing.

110
00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:58,680
Speaker 1: Uh and uh. I was not back in the West.

111
00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:00,880
Speaker 1: That was the summer where I realized I'm never living

112
00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:04,839
Speaker 1: in Western Massachusetts ever again. And I haven't. I've stuck.

113
00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:10,520
Speaker 1: I've stuck to that. I have multiple fires. She got

114
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:12,600
Speaker 1: out as soon as you know, not long after I did.

115
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:15,640
Speaker 1: She knew nothing wrong with Western mass great, great place,

116
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:18,400
Speaker 1: but you don't gotta go back. You forgot to mention.

117
00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:21,680
Speaker 1: I mean it had to do with the hashtag. And

118
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:24,800
Speaker 1: then I was fired. Trend trying to bring up a

119
00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:27,720
Speaker 1: trending task. Great. You always mentioned like we ride the

120
00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:32,840
Speaker 1: site geist, you know, we're like the times. So I

121
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:35,360
Speaker 1: sent a bunch of different ideas, and I think this

122
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:37,479
Speaker 1: is a good one. So yes, there is a hashtag

123
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:40,200
Speaker 1: out there. The hashtag is again what and then I

124
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:42,560
Speaker 1: was fired. We're going to share that story and then

125
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:45,680
Speaker 1: talk about coaches who will be fired potentially, But before

126
00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:49,920
Speaker 1: we do that. Yes, one of the games of the year.

127
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:53,960
Speaker 1: It's certainly in the conversation Monday night football at the

128
00:06:54,080 --> 00:07:00,719
Speaker 1: Big Bell Bottom hit it Ricky for forty five waits

129
00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:03,680
Speaker 1: for the South. Michael Dickon puts it down. That kick

130
00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:07,720
Speaker 1: is away and that kick is gone. Good say ok, winn,

131
00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:12,360
Speaker 1: it's good. It's up forty two. Good Seahawks and overtime

132
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:15,640
Speaker 1: went for the second time he had two weeks? Have

133
00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:20,200
Speaker 1: they been to be undefeated? Now? What's defeated San Francisco

134
00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:24,119
Speaker 1: forty Niners? What a game on Monday night football? Cook

135
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:28,440
Speaker 1: Seahawks win it overtime and Jackson Meyer's government. What a

136
00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:31,880
Speaker 1: game I'll have watching Ross and Pete Carroll run out

137
00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:35,360
Speaker 1: for the middle of the field together both yankee each

138
00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:47,840
Speaker 1: other's sweatshirts. Oh, what a game. Steve Rabel Warren mot

139
00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:51,560
Speaker 1: Moon with the call. Jason Meyers hits the field goal

140
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:56,320
Speaker 1: in the final play the final seconds of overtime, lifting

141
00:07:56,400 --> 00:08:00,440
Speaker 1: the Seahawks to a dramatic twenty four win and over

142
00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:05,800
Speaker 1: the forty Niners in Santa Clara, handing the Niners their

143
00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:09,640
Speaker 1: first loss of the season, turning the NFC West into

144
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:14,480
Speaker 1: a wide open race between two teams that figured to

145
00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:20,160
Speaker 1: make serious noise in January. What a game, Chris Westling.

146
00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:24,640
Speaker 1: So many storylines that hit here overtime alone, you could,

147
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:27,680
Speaker 1: you know, write a book about. But what was your

148
00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:30,680
Speaker 1: big takeaway? As the Seahawks celebrated in the game that

149
00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:33,319
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson called the craziest game he's ever been a

150
00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:36,320
Speaker 1: part of. Yeah, I felt like the broadcast booth was

151
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:39,720
Speaker 1: trying to make this the Jimmy G referendum game, and

152
00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:42,480
Speaker 1: I didn't see that. I saw this. I will always

153
00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:45,480
Speaker 1: remember this as the Jadeveon clowning imposing his will game.

154
00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:48,360
Speaker 1: Brian Baldinger said it's the best game he's seen by

155
00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:51,360
Speaker 1: a defensive lineman all year, and it ranks with any

156
00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:54,440
Speaker 1: game in J. J. Watts or Von Miller's career. According

157
00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:56,920
Speaker 1: to baldi, Um, I don't know about that. I don't

158
00:08:56,960 --> 00:09:00,560
Speaker 1: know how that's measured. But he was constantly and Jimmy

159
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:05,679
Speaker 1: G's grill, it was constantly. It was maybe the healthiest

160
00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:08,880
Speaker 1: the San Francisco forty Niners offensive line has been since September.

161
00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:10,760
Speaker 1: And it was also the worst game of the year

162
00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:13,480
Speaker 1: by far for that group up front, and it was

163
00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:16,800
Speaker 1: mostly Jadevian Clowney with some help from Geron Reid. But

164
00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:20,480
Speaker 1: but Clowney just taking over and he's sort of like

165
00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:25,200
Speaker 1: the bizarro um kirk Cousins. He does most of his

166
00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:28,880
Speaker 1: damage in nationally televised games against great team and they

167
00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:31,680
Speaker 1: both and they and Kirk Cousins got paid as we know,

168
00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:34,160
Speaker 1: so you can still do your damage when people aren't

169
00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:36,000
Speaker 1: watching and get paid a ton of money as at quarterback,

170
00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:37,920
Speaker 1: but when you do it in prime time, and if

171
00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:41,560
Speaker 1: you're a defender Clowney and Greg you remark this on Twitter.

172
00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:43,040
Speaker 1: Was one of the first things that came to my mind,

173
00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:45,600
Speaker 1: is that game unfolded and he made was making play

174
00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:49,640
Speaker 1: after play, living in the backfield, causing fumbles, scoring touchdowns.

175
00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:52,000
Speaker 1: He's gonna be one of the highest paid football players

176
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:54,880
Speaker 1: in the league, uh in a few months, and a

177
00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:56,560
Speaker 1: lot of that will tie into what he did. He

178
00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:59,440
Speaker 1: It was almost like he finally and I know football

179
00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:01,680
Speaker 1: heads out there, well, if you really watch him week

180
00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:04,040
Speaker 1: to week, he's a game record, but no, no, no,

181
00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:06,679
Speaker 1: it's also he hasn't ever quite lived up to this

182
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:10,760
Speaker 1: what week as a pass rusher, especially when he was

183
00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:13,240
Speaker 1: hailed as an LT figure coming out of South Carolina.

184
00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:16,040
Speaker 1: This was the game kind of people expected coming out

185
00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:19,120
Speaker 1: of college, and it couldn't have come in a bigger spot. Well,

186
00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:22,920
Speaker 1: his career has been defined by playing his very best

187
00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:25,800
Speaker 1: in December and the playoffs. I was at, you know,

188
00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:28,199
Speaker 1: the wild card game that he won, where I think

189
00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:30,280
Speaker 1: he was almost as impressive as this one. He had

190
00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:33,079
Speaker 1: a game late last season I think it was against

191
00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:36,040
Speaker 1: the Eagles was very similar to this one. And if

192
00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:38,800
Speaker 1: you look at his PF score every year, September and

193
00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:40,559
Speaker 1: October is kind of okay, and then you get to

194
00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:42,760
Speaker 1: November and it's pretty good, and then it goes it

195
00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:45,760
Speaker 1: takes off and he's been money. It was one of

196
00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:48,720
Speaker 1: the best defensive performances I've ever seen. How could it

197
00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:51,439
Speaker 1: be better? They didn't touch him. I thought the two

198
00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:55,120
Speaker 1: tackles returning probably hurt them because they weren't ready to play.

199
00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:58,240
Speaker 1: They couldn't get a hand on Clowney, and the previous

200
00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:00,760
Speaker 1: two tackles they had in there had been playing pretty well.

201
00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:04,120
Speaker 1: So many of those moves that he made, especially against

202
00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:07,920
Speaker 1: Daley but McGlinchey too, he just made a move before

203
00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:10,920
Speaker 1: them and they literally didn't touch him. I mean, it

204
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:13,120
Speaker 1: was wild to see. And he talked about it after

205
00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:15,720
Speaker 1: the game. Just the energy that that Seahawks team played

206
00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:19,800
Speaker 1: with from the first snap defense is a little different

207
00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:22,760
Speaker 1: where this has been a terrible Seahawks defense this year.

208
00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:25,559
Speaker 1: But they weren't, you know, they were playing with their

209
00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:27,480
Speaker 1: hair on fire from the very first snap. I thought

210
00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:28,679
Speaker 1: it was the best game of the year by far.

211
00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:31,600
Speaker 1: I don't think to me there was anything even even close,

212
00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:33,959
Speaker 1: because it just felt like a playoff intensity. I want

213
00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:36,000
Speaker 1: to go through it, but I mean, certainly with the

214
00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:39,560
Speaker 1: setting and the team's involved and like they added Quandary

215
00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:41,880
Speaker 1: Dicks whoever, whatever the reason is, they all just played

216
00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:43,720
Speaker 1: much better than as a group than they ever have.

217
00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:45,720
Speaker 1: It was the kind of game that made me wish,

218
00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:49,200
Speaker 1: although this would be a scheduling, absolute mega nightmare, that

219
00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:51,360
Speaker 1: every game could be in prime time because there is

220
00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:55,320
Speaker 1: undoubtedly this extra energy that especially comes to a game

221
00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:58,840
Speaker 1: like this pitting two rivals where they are, their placed

222
00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:01,560
Speaker 1: in the division is chained engine before our eyes and

223
00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:05,240
Speaker 1: everyone shows up. And there are these contrarians out there

224
00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:07,160
Speaker 1: that said it wasn't the game of the year, it's

225
00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:10,120
Speaker 1: not even a great game because it's sloppy, there were turnovers.

226
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:13,480
Speaker 1: Excuse me, well, by the way, those people that go

227
00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:15,920
Speaker 1: watch football and want to just forget about their day

228
00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:19,520
Speaker 1: to day lives. Turnovers are exciting turnovers where the ball

229
00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:22,320
Speaker 1: is bouncing around and then suddenly Jadeveon Clowney rolls into

230
00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:25,720
Speaker 1: the end zone and becomes this dominant force right there

231
00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:28,160
Speaker 1: in the middle of the game. That's enjoyable. There were

232
00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:30,760
Speaker 1: It wasn't just that. It wasn't just Seattle, because San

233
00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:35,000
Speaker 1: Francisco's line gave Russell Wilson nightmares five sacks of their own.

234
00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:38,600
Speaker 1: There were seven turnovers in this game, five lost fumbles,

235
00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:42,040
Speaker 1: two picks. It was chaotic and beautifully chaotic. They you

236
00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:45,000
Speaker 1: saw when the forty Niners were down twenty one time

237
00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:46,760
Speaker 1: you thought the game was over. That was the first

238
00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:48,480
Speaker 1: time they've been really like hit in the mouth all

239
00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:50,560
Speaker 1: year and they get a little break, but they made

240
00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:53,720
Speaker 1: the play on that, you know, touchdown fumble return and

241
00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:56,720
Speaker 1: then they turned up Just the swings in it were

242
00:12:57,080 --> 00:13:00,640
Speaker 1: were amazing, and I think the two quarterbacks had each

243
00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:03,040
Speaker 1: had their worst game of the year. Like it was,

244
00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:05,360
Speaker 1: you know, it was a defensive It reminded me so

245
00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:08,840
Speaker 1: much of forty nine or Seahawks in two thousand, thirteen fourteen.

246
00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:11,360
Speaker 1: I mean, at that NFC Championship game. If you go

247
00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:13,120
Speaker 1: back to it, one of the great games of the

248
00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:15,520
Speaker 1: last decade. I mean you could call that sloppy too,

249
00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:17,920
Speaker 1: because it was a lot of hard hitting and turnovers

250
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:21,080
Speaker 1: and big plays by defense. I've noticed there were a

251
00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:23,400
Speaker 1: lot of the big players are being made by new faces.

252
00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:26,240
Speaker 1: You have Drake Greenlaw makes the interception and overtime only

253
00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:29,520
Speaker 1: playing because Kwan Alexander just got put on I R

254
00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:32,240
Speaker 1: and is out for the year. Jacob Hollister has become

255
00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:35,080
Speaker 1: one of the most important pieces in Russell Wilson's aerial attack.

256
00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:37,800
Speaker 1: Two weeks in a row now, um, But the Seattle

257
00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:42,840
Speaker 1: Patriots where won that game last Josh biggest third down

258
00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:45,760
Speaker 1: to the game. Josh Gorton beats Richard Sherman. Chase McLaughlin

259
00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:48,120
Speaker 1: just signed off the street in the limelight there at

260
00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:53,880
Speaker 1: the end. You had uh wow, uh Goodwin and Dante Pettis.

261
00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:56,480
Speaker 1: You got those guys not a factor at all. They're

262
00:13:56,520 --> 00:13:59,000
Speaker 1: two best receivers last year. You can't even count on

263
00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:01,720
Speaker 1: them with Sanders and Kid. I think there is a

264
00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:05,000
Speaker 1: temptation and I wrestled with this last night. I was like, oh,

265
00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:07,120
Speaker 1: I should do with the Niners because the power rankings

266
00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:10,079
Speaker 1: were due. I kept them at one because I thought

267
00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:13,720
Speaker 1: even though they lost, listen their first loss of the season. Also,

268
00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:17,440
Speaker 1: when you factor in their opponent, that was always gonna

269
00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:19,400
Speaker 1: be a dog fight. You know, I don't I don't

270
00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:22,200
Speaker 1: think any any less of them now. I know with

271
00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:26,040
Speaker 1: Jimmy G. And one thing that on the ESPN telecast,

272
00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:28,800
Speaker 1: Booger was getting half getting after Jimmy G a little bit.

273
00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:30,920
Speaker 1: He was careless with the football. He got away with

274
00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:34,000
Speaker 1: some turnovers. But you also need to factor in something

275
00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:36,400
Speaker 1: such as we talked about Clowney and how it was

276
00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:39,760
Speaker 1: a turnstyle. He was constantly had pressure on his face.

277
00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:42,920
Speaker 1: And then when you lose, when you have George Kittle

278
00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:46,920
Speaker 1: up in the luxury suite um and you have Emmanuel

279
00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:49,040
Speaker 1: Sanders in the locker room and then on the bench

280
00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:51,760
Speaker 1: with a rib injury, Uh, it did shine a light.

281
00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:53,440
Speaker 1: The only thing that I would say that I would

282
00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:57,120
Speaker 1: be a little nervous about was the depth on their

283
00:14:57,120 --> 00:15:00,520
Speaker 1: offensive playmaker side. Matt Breida left this game also an injury.

284
00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:03,680
Speaker 1: Kendrick Borne had a terrible job. Dee deebo Samuel went

285
00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:05,880
Speaker 1: over a hundred yards, but he had a drop that

286
00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:08,960
Speaker 1: heard him they targeted Ross Dwelly a lot. These are

287
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:12,000
Speaker 1: guys that that maybe aren't ready for prime time, and

288
00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:14,840
Speaker 1: you saw it, and I think that affected Garoppolo's performance

289
00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:16,640
Speaker 1: because there was this urge and and like I said,

290
00:15:16,680 --> 00:15:18,920
Speaker 1: Booger said, oh, Jimmy G is not ready for this,

291
00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:20,960
Speaker 1: but he can't do it alone. I don't think he's

292
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:24,120
Speaker 1: like that super duper star quarterback. And that's that explained

293
00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:26,320
Speaker 1: something to me. And I agree with West the idea

294
00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:29,040
Speaker 1: of pushing a referendum on Jimmy G, who has started

295
00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:33,440
Speaker 1: fewer games then at this point Baker Mayfield and Josh Allen.

296
00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:36,280
Speaker 1: He has started the same amount of games as Sam Donald.

297
00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:38,920
Speaker 1: And because he's been entrenched with the Niners with an

298
00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:42,400
Speaker 1: injury lost season in the middle, you forget this guy's

299
00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:45,840
Speaker 1: still learning the starter position. And he had everything thrown

300
00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:47,840
Speaker 1: at him last night, and you saw the last two

301
00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:50,440
Speaker 1: games his swings that I think it's fair though to

302
00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:52,080
Speaker 1: also just point out was his worst game of the

303
00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:55,240
Speaker 1: year when he was protected. His location was off on

304
00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:58,120
Speaker 1: so many throws, even the interception that I think it

305
00:15:58,160 --> 00:16:00,240
Speaker 1: was born dropping a lot of a lot out of

306
00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:02,440
Speaker 1: the drops. You know they weren't, they were just he

307
00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:05,880
Speaker 1: wasn't putting him on people. He had open receivers, and

308
00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:08,320
Speaker 1: I did think, you know, they talk about people talk

309
00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:11,280
Speaker 1: about Tom Brady's quiet feet, I mean his feet in

310
00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:13,680
Speaker 1: the way he was going through his progression just felt

311
00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:17,120
Speaker 1: very frenetic, and it's natural that that piled up over

312
00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:19,240
Speaker 1: over the game. But I also would say the first

313
00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:21,800
Speaker 1: quarter was kind of a disaster for him, and so

314
00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:25,200
Speaker 1: that wasn't necessarily just clowning. But and yet we say

315
00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:28,400
Speaker 1: he looked maybe happy feet and the way that first

316
00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:31,400
Speaker 1: overtime drive started was not great, but he had them

317
00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:34,600
Speaker 1: in field goal position, and if Chase mclachl, the poor

318
00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:37,880
Speaker 1: guy makes that kick, we're talking about a totally different

319
00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:40,560
Speaker 1: situation right now, and the Niners or nine and oh

320
00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:42,840
Speaker 1: but the guy, poor guy yanked it into the tunnel.

321
00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:46,680
Speaker 1: Kicking is a hard gig man, uh, and that changes

322
00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:48,720
Speaker 1: everything around the Niners. So that was my thought in

323
00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:51,360
Speaker 1: the sense that, yes, you want to win, especially at

324
00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:54,640
Speaker 1: home against the division rival, but uh, don't bury the

325
00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:57,120
Speaker 1: Niners off one loss because it could have was a

326
00:16:57,120 --> 00:17:01,359
Speaker 1: coin flip. What people like booger Um and their cognizenti

327
00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:05,800
Speaker 1: around the league, hes like what they want to see

328
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:08,240
Speaker 1: is they know that Jimmy Garoppolo has had probably the

329
00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:10,720
Speaker 1: easiest quarterback job of anyone in the league this year,

330
00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:13,919
Speaker 1: always playing with the lead, always having a great running attack,

331
00:17:14,119 --> 00:17:17,399
Speaker 1: always having Kyle Shanahan's scheming people open, always having George

332
00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:20,479
Speaker 1: Kittle as the best player on the field, And they

333
00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:22,280
Speaker 1: want to see what happens when those things aren't there.

334
00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:25,520
Speaker 1: But then you you tend to overlook things like his

335
00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:28,960
Speaker 1: receiver's dropping ten passes, like Jadeveon Clowney being in his

336
00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:31,880
Speaker 1: lap every time. So it's not a referendum, it's it's

337
00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:34,480
Speaker 1: a one game thing. It's a it's a bad game,

338
00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:37,119
Speaker 1: and and a lot of it wasn't on him, but

339
00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:38,560
Speaker 1: a lot of it was. I think it was Russell

340
00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:41,159
Speaker 1: Wilson's worst game too. And that's the thing, like, I

341
00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:44,119
Speaker 1: don't think you need to pretend that I think Russell Wilson,

342
00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:46,200
Speaker 1: if anything, helped his m v P gas To me,

343
00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:49,119
Speaker 1: I I now I'm assigned to put it into the

344
00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:53,000
Speaker 1: debrief every week. Uh, it's a sponsor. Well, yeah, I

345
00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:56,240
Speaker 1: guess it's some it's a sponsor. And to me, Wilson's

346
00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:58,879
Speaker 1: way ahead of the pack, and last night, yeah, I

347
00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:02,880
Speaker 1: think so. I think Wilson has been so good every

348
00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:06,960
Speaker 1: single week um and makes his teammates so much better.

349
00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:09,239
Speaker 1: I look at his like, what's your average game and

350
00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:11,520
Speaker 1: his average like he doesn't have any down weeks, but

351
00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:14,440
Speaker 1: there's also seven weeks to go, which is in eternity.

352
00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:17,800
Speaker 1: It's funny he threw he has the most famous interception,

353
00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:21,080
Speaker 1: arguably in NFL history. Super Bowl forty nine. He threw

354
00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:24,679
Speaker 1: just a crushing interception near in the red zone in

355
00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:27,080
Speaker 1: overtime that first possession where it looked like they might

356
00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:29,080
Speaker 1: be going in when three and out, the next drive

357
00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:31,439
Speaker 1: to went three and out, and yet when when he

358
00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:33,760
Speaker 1: got the ball back again, and Greg, I'm sure you

359
00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:36,000
Speaker 1: want to talk about Kyle Shannon's clock management as well.

360
00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:38,320
Speaker 1: When he got the ball that last time, I still

361
00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:41,439
Speaker 1: thought to myself, you know, there's no one else I

362
00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:44,520
Speaker 1: want in the league in this moment, because he has

363
00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:47,080
Speaker 1: such a steady hand, and you just he's a guy that,

364
00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:49,840
Speaker 1: even when he does occasionally make mistakes, because he's human,

365
00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:53,320
Speaker 1: you just trust him to not be ever overwhelmed by

366
00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:55,240
Speaker 1: a moment. And sure enough he just led him right

367
00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:57,520
Speaker 1: down the field and got Jason Meyers. He trusts himself.

368
00:18:57,800 --> 00:18:59,760
Speaker 1: I mean, I can't like. I know that Russell Wilson

369
00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:03,440
Speaker 1: a magnet for criticism because he's a bit robotic and

370
00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:06,400
Speaker 1: a bit athlete robot minded and that's easy to poke

371
00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:09,840
Speaker 1: fun at. But at quarterback, the way that he operates

372
00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:12,560
Speaker 1: week after week, they seem he's the opposite of Jimmy G.

373
00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:15,520
Speaker 1: Where it seems like you're always watching the Seahawks have

374
00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:18,719
Speaker 1: to mount to come back down thirteen or seventeen points

375
00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:21,080
Speaker 1: with twelve minutes to go, and it's like I was

376
00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:22,719
Speaker 1: watching that and it was a tough game in our

377
00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:26,200
Speaker 1: house because Simone is a suddenly revived and all plugged

378
00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:31,120
Speaker 1: in Niners fans in our seven year old Big Bell

379
00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:34,280
Speaker 1: Bottom was rocket, our seven year old Colton, who this

380
00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:37,080
Speaker 1: was the game where he he was rooting so hard

381
00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:39,160
Speaker 1: for the Niners that when they lost, it was like, Mom,

382
00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:41,600
Speaker 1: that was worse than me losing on my video game

383
00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:43,960
Speaker 1: in the garage. It's like he he it hurt him,

384
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:45,800
Speaker 1: But I tried to tell him the Niners are not

385
00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:48,520
Speaker 1: this is not the end, because it's what's happening around

386
00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:50,920
Speaker 1: Jimmy G. And they're very consistent and what they've done

387
00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:54,160
Speaker 1: so far is not flukey, and they have an awesome coach. Yeah,

388
00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:56,000
Speaker 1: I'm not. I'm not too worried about them. I still

389
00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:58,960
Speaker 1: think they have the inside path, even though they lost

390
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:02,040
Speaker 1: this game at home. I noticed, Greg, you are usually

391
00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:05,879
Speaker 1: on these things. You did not criticize Kyle Shanahan for

392
00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:09,000
Speaker 1: not getting closer on the field goal attend Uh. I

393
00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:11,840
Speaker 1: don't think he. I think I did tweet one little

394
00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:14,800
Speaker 1: thing about it. But uh, I think he probably regrets

395
00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:18,679
Speaker 1: his play calls on second in two setting up the

396
00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:21,359
Speaker 1: missed field goal. Are you talking about regulation when they

397
00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:25,360
Speaker 1: hit it or I think he probably regrets that more

398
00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:27,280
Speaker 1: than the clock management, which will get to and I

399
00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:30,280
Speaker 1: think he should regret second and two and third and

400
00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:32,359
Speaker 1: one running the ball with the best running team in

401
00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:35,520
Speaker 1: the league. I don't think they just won. You know,

402
00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:38,160
Speaker 1: it wasn't the play calling. You gotta get two yards.

403
00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:40,520
Speaker 1: Both teams had a chance to end the game. Seattle

404
00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:42,359
Speaker 1: should have won the game in regulation, but they couldn't

405
00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:44,760
Speaker 1: pick up a yard with Chris Carson that ended up

406
00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:47,000
Speaker 1: giving the forty nine is a chance back the forty

407
00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:50,560
Speaker 1: niners second in two with this running attack, you figure

408
00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:53,600
Speaker 1: two runs. Whatever he chose, I'm sure he maybe would

409
00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:55,679
Speaker 1: like to choose a different run, but you figure you

410
00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:58,520
Speaker 1: can pick that up against Seattle and Puna Ford was

411
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:01,199
Speaker 1: was pretty great on night too, and they just stuffed them.

412
00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:03,639
Speaker 1: You gotta give them the credit. And Shanahan did catch

413
00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:08,080
Speaker 1: heat because there was a position after the Seahawks go

414
00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:10,399
Speaker 1: three and out, the Niners get the ball back at

415
00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:12,880
Speaker 1: three or four minutes to play, and they know one

416
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:16,960
Speaker 1: forty five Russell Wilson went three and out and they

417
00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:21,560
Speaker 1: punted under two minutes left with no time out. And

418
00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:24,080
Speaker 1: if you just if you play it, uh, well, I

419
00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:26,280
Speaker 1: guess the way to play it is do something safe

420
00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:28,639
Speaker 1: and keep the clock moving early in the down and

421
00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:31,520
Speaker 1: distance and then put it in a situation where you

422
00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:34,720
Speaker 1: either tie or you win. But I I got no

423
00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:37,040
Speaker 1: time for that, and I hate That's not the way

424
00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:39,120
Speaker 1: to look at it, though. What what is the what

425
00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:41,760
Speaker 1: was the criticism? Here's here's what I would say. It's

426
00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:43,960
Speaker 1: the same as that at the end of the half.

427
00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:47,479
Speaker 1: It's the same as the end of regulation. You have

428
00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:50,480
Speaker 1: one forty five in a time out. That is eternity.

429
00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:52,960
Speaker 1: That's not gonna burn any of your time. Whether you

430
00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:55,720
Speaker 1: want to call a run or a very safe pass.

431
00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:58,720
Speaker 1: It's not that you're playing for overtime. You're just trying

432
00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:02,320
Speaker 1: to not leave them any time to go win the game.

433
00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:06,439
Speaker 1: Talking over game overtime, it's not like you you're playing

434
00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:08,399
Speaker 1: for the tie. Rather, is what I meant to say.

435
00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:10,600
Speaker 1: You just don't want to leave them anytime. There's a

436
00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:14,400
Speaker 1: million screen passes or a run or whatever you want

437
00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:16,160
Speaker 1: to do. It's not like they would have run out

438
00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:18,399
Speaker 1: of time. They had all the time in the world.

439
00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:20,760
Speaker 1: That's just obvious and good coach. And you do the

440
00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:23,239
Speaker 1: same thing at the end of the first half in

441
00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:25,119
Speaker 1: that situation, you would do the same thing at the

442
00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:27,719
Speaker 1: end of regulation. And you don't. You don't let them

443
00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:32,280
Speaker 1: have the ball because and we're talking about uh, there's

444
00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:34,960
Speaker 1: also some accountability as a failure of execution. They have

445
00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:37,760
Speaker 1: three chances to have a complete pass and they go

446
00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:41,400
Speaker 1: over three, right, And that was like the great, the great.

447
00:22:41,440 --> 00:22:42,960
Speaker 1: There were so many great plays in this game, but

448
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:47,480
Speaker 1: the you know the shaq Griffin, you know, Shaquille not Sachem.

449
00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:52,080
Speaker 1: Shachim played quite a bit over Ziggy Onza first defensive

450
00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:55,280
Speaker 1: snaps I think since his like Week one of last year,

451
00:22:55,359 --> 00:22:57,880
Speaker 1: Shakim Griffin in that game. But Shaquille Griffin, that knock

452
00:22:57,920 --> 00:22:59,760
Speaker 1: away in overtime. I mean, that was an under thrown

453
00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:02,439
Speaker 1: ball by Jimmy G. You can't kill him for it,

454
00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:05,320
Speaker 1: but I'm sure when he's watching that film he wishes

455
00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:07,760
Speaker 1: I wish I got that out there for him. We

456
00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:10,479
Speaker 1: might have won the game, you know, all right. And finally, Greg,

457
00:23:11,359 --> 00:23:14,040
Speaker 1: I mean you've vindictively locked against them in this game,

458
00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:18,159
Speaker 1: which you uh when it was. You know, I got

459
00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:20,200
Speaker 1: a little trolley on Twitter and I came after you

460
00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:22,879
Speaker 1: a little bit about your how you were reflecting and

461
00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:26,399
Speaker 1: in pain for leaving Seahawks Corner. And I think this

462
00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:29,040
Speaker 1: is this game, more than any game that we've seen

463
00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:31,960
Speaker 1: in sometimes such a reminder why you never leave Seahawks horner,

464
00:23:31,960 --> 00:23:35,760
Speaker 1: because it's just it is usually, like I said the

465
00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:38,480
Speaker 1: other week, it usually works out for the best on

466
00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:41,760
Speaker 1: Seahawks Corner right there. Seven and oh, I'm not counting

467
00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:44,399
Speaker 1: that Saints you know game where they scored a touchdown

468
00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:45,960
Speaker 1: in the last play. There's seven and oh and one

469
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:51,960
Speaker 1: score games. It is outrageous, But I enjoyed, like I

470
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:54,359
Speaker 1: love watching them, so I don't know, I can't have

471
00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:56,119
Speaker 1: you back though, Like I don't need to be on

472
00:23:57,280 --> 00:24:00,679
Speaker 1: I like a game like this, like a game like this.

473
00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:03,000
Speaker 1: I enjoy it so much. And I enjoyed this forty

474
00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:05,240
Speaker 1: Niners team a ton too. I enjoy both these things.

475
00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:07,760
Speaker 1: You like every team break, so in terms of relati,

476
00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:10,639
Speaker 1: they're they're fun to watch. I don't like the Jets.

477
00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:12,840
Speaker 1: I don't really like the Browns right now, because you don't.

478
00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:16,320
Speaker 1: I like good football. Like it's it's like, it's like

479
00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:18,679
Speaker 1: like a game like this is so much fun. It

480
00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:22,439
Speaker 1: makes me worried about why I put so much like

481
00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:28,080
Speaker 1: emotional enjoyment and energy into like a sporting event. You

482
00:24:28,119 --> 00:24:30,399
Speaker 1: know what I mean? You know what I mean. I

483
00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:33,040
Speaker 1: mean I'm concerned about It's like it's like the same thing.

484
00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:34,359
Speaker 1: I was like, why do you Why do I cry?

485
00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:38,119
Speaker 1: It like the finale of Top Chef or any movie

486
00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:41,560
Speaker 1: that happens, but like you never would cry in like

487
00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:44,679
Speaker 1: normal life. You know, I couldn't. I couldn't go to

488
00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:47,840
Speaker 1: sleep and it wasn't rooting or really cared. Who want

489
00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:50,800
Speaker 1: too much? And I couldn't go to sleep for like

490
00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:52,919
Speaker 1: for this game because I was thinking about job you

491
00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:55,000
Speaker 1: love and never work a day in your life. So

492
00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:58,080
Speaker 1: what they say something like that, something like what we too,

493
00:24:58,160 --> 00:25:01,760
Speaker 1: we could do Mark is hollow. One of those hutches,

494
00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:04,480
Speaker 1: one of those eaves maybe and take our ski equipment

495
00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:06,600
Speaker 1: out of there and turning into the room that maybe

496
00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:08,840
Speaker 1: Greg could come back into. But I don't know. I

497
00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:11,920
Speaker 1: don't think it needs to be three ft by three ft.

498
00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:13,560
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a little tighter. They're too good. They're

499
00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:15,800
Speaker 1: too good right now. You know, I like them when

500
00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:18,200
Speaker 1: they were just a spark, a spunky nine and seven

501
00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:20,919
Speaker 1: uh team, they might go in. They might go in.

502
00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:25,399
Speaker 1: They they got good pretty quickly last year. I mean, anyway,

503
00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:28,160
Speaker 1: you were going to say something less about emotions. Yeah,

504
00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:30,879
Speaker 1: I almost cried in that Cardinals Bucks games every weekend.

505
00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:32,080
Speaker 1: That game might have pulled me out of the mid

506
00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:34,639
Speaker 1: season duldrums, right like what hole and the rest of it?

507
00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:38,640
Speaker 1: Enjoyment for this, I'm all in on Kyler Murray now,

508
00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:40,600
Speaker 1: and I might be all in on the Tampa Bay

509
00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:43,960
Speaker 1: Buccaneers as a as a fun team to watch. This

510
00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:46,919
Speaker 1: is great. We're seeing Devin White with flashes just running

511
00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:49,040
Speaker 1: through people like they don't like they're not even there.

512
00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:51,520
Speaker 1: Not that it's been a bad season, right, but we

513
00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:54,119
Speaker 1: needed a game like this, just a perfect time for

514
00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:58,000
Speaker 1: a great game, all right, um, all right, let's do it.

515
00:25:58,800 --> 00:26:01,520
Speaker 1: Let's do it. Forget the news. I don't want to

516
00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:04,160
Speaker 1: talk about the news. We're not doing the news because

517
00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:09,080
Speaker 1: we gotta get right to it, Ricky, as promised. Um,

518
00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:12,960
Speaker 1: the segment, the hashtag that all the kids, all the millennials,

519
00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:15,399
Speaker 1: all the gen z s out there are talking about,

520
00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:26,040
Speaker 1: was when I was fired and then I was fired, Okay, Boomer,

521
00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:30,400
Speaker 1: and then I was fired and then I was fired

522
00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:33,040
Speaker 1: hashtag and then I was fired Ricky, why don't you

523
00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:38,919
Speaker 1: guys go? And I'm curious your seg your rules first? Well,

524
00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:41,320
Speaker 1: I mean, originally I thought we were going to only

525
00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:45,120
Speaker 1: antiquate this to football news because sort of like Greg,

526
00:26:45,160 --> 00:26:47,840
Speaker 1: I've never really had I've never been fired. I do

527
00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:50,840
Speaker 1: such a good job and all of my jobs, but

528
00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:54,920
Speaker 1: there was one time where I wasn't asked back. And

529
00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:59,359
Speaker 1: I was a production assistant on a reality TV show

530
00:26:59,840 --> 00:27:03,520
Speaker 1: in Rhode Island. They were filming for the day. Yeah,

531
00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:05,359
Speaker 1: while I was trying to get my start, I was

532
00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:07,760
Speaker 1: in college. I was like skipping school to work for

533
00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:10,000
Speaker 1: minimum wage like once in a while, to get on

534
00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:12,359
Speaker 1: a TV show to to try to you know, work

535
00:27:12,359 --> 00:27:15,119
Speaker 1: my way up into directing and whatever. And this was

536
00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:19,040
Speaker 1: for the TV show Dance Moms and the woman is

537
00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:23,879
Speaker 1: now in jail. So she got fired by society in

538
00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:27,840
Speaker 1: a way, right, But so did I because I, uh,

539
00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:29,520
Speaker 1: you know, to be a p a, you gotta just

540
00:27:29,520 --> 00:27:31,439
Speaker 1: put the blinders on and get through the couple of

541
00:27:31,520 --> 00:27:35,520
Speaker 1: years of getting beaten. You know, you're the first one there,

542
00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:37,440
Speaker 1: you're the last one off. You can't you can't say

543
00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:40,320
Speaker 1: anything to anyone. If you get someone's coffee wrong. It's

544
00:27:40,359 --> 00:27:44,040
Speaker 1: the end of the world. I mean that that. So

545
00:27:44,119 --> 00:27:49,320
Speaker 1: one of my jobs was to clean out Abby Wie

546
00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:53,320
Speaker 1: Miller's trailer in between two of her like scenes and

547
00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:56,320
Speaker 1: it's reality TVs. It's like her driving around and the

548
00:27:56,359 --> 00:28:01,160
Speaker 1: amount of like chocolate rapper, candy bar and everything all

549
00:28:01,240 --> 00:28:04,800
Speaker 1: over the place was so like I was cleaning this

550
00:28:04,880 --> 00:28:06,919
Speaker 1: up and I literally was like, this is it was

551
00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:09,119
Speaker 1: out of a movie, Like that should have been the

552
00:28:09,119 --> 00:28:11,439
Speaker 1: reality TV show of what was in this trailer. So

553
00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:14,600
Speaker 1: I was cleaning this up. And she is known on

554
00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:16,960
Speaker 1: TV for screaming at people. So I'm like, Okay, it's

555
00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:19,679
Speaker 1: fake or whatever. No, she's like that in real life,

556
00:28:19,800 --> 00:28:22,600
Speaker 1: Like she is a word that I wouldn't even say

557
00:28:23,560 --> 00:28:27,280
Speaker 1: it is. So she is such a miserable person, but

558
00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:30,080
Speaker 1: another p a this other little girl who and we

559
00:28:30,080 --> 00:28:32,480
Speaker 1: were like eighteen. So she goes out and she comes

560
00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:35,760
Speaker 1: back and she was like, I wanted Ocean Spray um,

561
00:28:35,760 --> 00:28:38,840
Speaker 1: not Cranmery, just like pineapple, like specific brand. And the

562
00:28:38,840 --> 00:28:42,240
Speaker 1: girl comes back, she's like sweating and she's like ms ms,

563
00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:44,640
Speaker 1: like I went to the store and I got all

564
00:28:44,680 --> 00:28:47,320
Speaker 1: these different kinds of pineapple juice, but unfortunately, like there

565
00:28:47,400 --> 00:28:54,400
Speaker 1: wasn't the Ocean Spray brand. And this chick takes the

566
00:28:54,680 --> 00:28:57,440
Speaker 1: all the pineapple juice and dumps it out in front

567
00:28:57,440 --> 00:29:00,040
Speaker 1: of her and was like, don't bother coming back a

568
00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:02,840
Speaker 1: set then and through all the empty bottles that I

569
00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:05,280
Speaker 1: had just picked up, of all of all of your trash,

570
00:29:06,280 --> 00:29:11,520
Speaker 1: and I was like, hey, like, it wasn't my place

571
00:29:11,720 --> 00:29:14,800
Speaker 1: to say this, but I was like, hey like, I

572
00:29:14,840 --> 00:29:18,040
Speaker 1: don't think we should be like throwing bottles at eighteen

573
00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:20,800
Speaker 1: year old like empty bottles. And she was like, and

574
00:29:20,880 --> 00:29:26,360
Speaker 1: you just lost your ticket to honey, And then I

575
00:29:26,400 --> 00:29:29,720
Speaker 1: wasn't asked back the next the next day. That's a firing,

576
00:29:29,800 --> 00:29:32,960
Speaker 1: but you did the right thing. Wow. Miler, who pleaded

577
00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:36,360
Speaker 1: guilty to felony bankruptcy fraud and was sentenced and made

578

Speaker 1: two thousand seventeen to one year and one day in

579
00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:42,520
Speaker 1: federal prison. She has since been released. The good thing is,

580
00:29:42,560 --> 00:29:45,520
Speaker 1: I mean she sounds very drunk with power. Would not

581
00:29:45,560 --> 00:29:48,640
Speaker 1: be the case of anyone attached to this show in

582
00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:53,680

585
00:30:04,400 --> 00:30:07,240
Speaker 1: that day, Well not for me, for that poor girl.

586
00:30:07,240 --> 00:30:11,640
Speaker 1: Like how could someone's messed up? People are bad sometimes?

587
00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:13,680
Speaker 1: All right, so we're gonna we'll space well, you know,

588
00:30:13,880 --> 00:30:17,240
Speaker 1: Pepper in this personal stories. But yes, as I said

589
00:30:17,280 --> 00:30:20,240
Speaker 1: back on August sixteenth, which is almost three months ago,

590
00:30:20,320 --> 00:30:26,160
Speaker 1: now time flies. Hey, Um, three months ago wrote the

591
00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:30,200
Speaker 1: NFL Hot Coach head coach job security rankings, Who's safe

592
00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:33,920
Speaker 1: question mark on hotsy question mark? No, no, no, they

593
00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:36,600
Speaker 1: didn't give me the headline. I wanted the hot butt rankings.

594
00:30:37,240 --> 00:30:41,280
Speaker 1: So let's just cycle through, uh this list, and we'll

595
00:30:41,280 --> 00:30:45,680
Speaker 1: see what's changed and what hasn't changed since August. All right,

596
00:30:46,160 --> 00:30:50,600
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna go quickly through some of these Belichick McVeigh,

597
00:30:51,120 --> 00:30:54,880
Speaker 1: Sean Payton, John Gruden, and Doug Peterson in the top five.

598
00:30:55,960 --> 00:30:59,040
Speaker 1: All safe right now? All good, except I think Gruden

599
00:30:59,160 --> 00:31:02,240
Speaker 1: was there because of huge contract attached to him, and

600
00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:04,280
Speaker 1: there was a lot of people. I thought this season

601
00:31:04,320 --> 00:31:06,760
Speaker 1: could be an ultra disaster and he'd still be safe

602
00:31:06,800 --> 00:31:09,000
Speaker 1: because it was the Raiders. But I think he's safe

603
00:31:09,040 --> 00:31:12,600
Speaker 1: now because he's doing a great job this year. He's

604
00:31:12,640 --> 00:31:16,960
Speaker 1: doubly safe. Uh Andy Reid, Frank Reich, Pete Carroll at

605
00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:20,200
Speaker 1: eight and then Matt Naggy. He's the final one in

606
00:31:20,320 --> 00:31:25,040
Speaker 1: tier two. Uh that one is Matt. He's probably okay, right,

607
00:31:25,080 --> 00:31:26,840
Speaker 1: this has been a bad year so far. But is

608
00:31:26,840 --> 00:31:30,040
Speaker 1: there any scenario where his butt gets hot? I don't

609
00:31:30,040 --> 00:31:34,680
Speaker 1: think so, because why are they gonna flesh out the

610
00:31:34,720 --> 00:31:37,920
Speaker 1: GM and Naggie and start all over again. They've tended

611
00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:42,600
Speaker 1: to not make quick choices. Someone from behind the scenes

612
00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:45,960
Speaker 1: just came in and I said, yo, oh, hey, keep going.

613
00:31:46,480 --> 00:31:48,320
Speaker 1: It's not really possible for him to have a worse

614
00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:52,120
Speaker 1: year than he's had. Yeah, Like there's they have their

615
00:31:52,160 --> 00:31:55,520
Speaker 1: worst running attack I think since nineteen eighty. They're tight.

616
00:31:55,640 --> 00:31:59,440
Speaker 1: Ends are non existent. The quarterback took many steps back

617
00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:02,959
Speaker 1: in his development, and they have the same personnel as

618
00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:05,120
Speaker 1: last year. Just about you would like to see him

619
00:32:05,120 --> 00:32:08,000
Speaker 1: with a different quarterback. You would think that Trabisky will

620
00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:11,920
Speaker 1: be the scapegoat and they will find someone else to

621
00:32:11,960 --> 00:32:14,400
Speaker 1: be that quarterback. And if we have more problems next year,

622
00:32:14,840 --> 00:32:17,480
Speaker 1: Naggy would be. I feel like it's a fair scapegoat.

623
00:32:17,480 --> 00:32:20,120
Speaker 1: And he one Coach of the Year last year. Sometimes

624
00:32:20,160 --> 00:32:23,960
Speaker 1: a scapegoating. I mean he's earned, it's not it's not totally.

625
00:32:25,760 --> 00:32:27,760
Speaker 1: Dick Duron once one Coach of the Year as a

626
00:32:27,760 --> 00:32:30,160
Speaker 1: as a coach of the Chicago Bears as well, and

627
00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:33,200
Speaker 1: then went four and twelve the next year. Um, Mark,

628
00:32:33,640 --> 00:32:37,080
Speaker 1: tell us when you were fired? Um, well, there's been

629
00:32:37,160 --> 00:32:39,920
Speaker 1: multiple times, Like I said, but I'm just gonna dug

630
00:32:39,960 --> 00:32:41,760
Speaker 1: into the ground one of the many. I'll pick one

631
00:32:41,760 --> 00:32:43,760
Speaker 1: of the many, and he's mostly all happened. How many

632
00:32:43,800 --> 00:32:47,520
Speaker 1: times you've been fired. There was a period that I

633
00:32:47,560 --> 00:32:49,440
Speaker 1: got canned from a job at age sixteen. But I

634
00:32:49,480 --> 00:32:51,280
Speaker 1: will put it this way. I did it brought a

635
00:32:51,360 --> 00:32:53,800
Speaker 1: hundred temp jobs. And sometimes you land and they just

636
00:32:53,840 --> 00:32:56,480
Speaker 1: think that you're the perfect fit and they other times

637
00:32:56,520 --> 00:32:59,240
Speaker 1: you're not. And there were many times I was not. Um,

638
00:32:59,280 --> 00:33:01,840
Speaker 1: this is one of the those jobs, a tempt job

639
00:33:02,320 --> 00:33:04,600
Speaker 1: that was if you work, will keep you around for

640
00:33:04,600 --> 00:33:06,840
Speaker 1: a while. And I really wowed them with my excel

641
00:33:07,280 --> 00:33:11,280
Speaker 1: skills in a company called cash Now, which is a

642
00:33:11,320 --> 00:33:13,920
Speaker 1: lot of places called cash now. At this point, excel

643
00:33:13,960 --> 00:33:17,280
Speaker 1: skills in what year? This? This about two? This is

644
00:33:17,320 --> 00:33:19,520
Speaker 1: two thousand one? Oh yeah, that were handy in two

645
00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:22,840
Speaker 1: absolutely Wait were you like a bail bondsman or so?

646
00:33:23,200 --> 00:33:26,080
Speaker 1: It was. Cash now places typically are like a a

647
00:33:26,200 --> 00:33:29,520
Speaker 1: storefront where people down on the luck for the most part,

648
00:33:29,640 --> 00:33:31,840
Speaker 1: might have gotten some sort of work or even an

649
00:33:31,920 --> 00:33:34,600
Speaker 1: unemployment check, and you come in and give them cash

650
00:33:34,680 --> 00:33:37,920
Speaker 1: for sixty of the check and keep the rest. Very nefarious,

651
00:33:37,920 --> 00:33:40,160
Speaker 1: and I did not. It was a family run business.

652
00:33:40,240 --> 00:33:41,920
Speaker 1: I was not part of the family. They brought me

653
00:33:41,920 --> 00:33:44,680
Speaker 1: in to do this excel business. I will make the

654
00:33:44,720 --> 00:33:48,560
Speaker 1: story quick to say that fate intervened that. You know,

655
00:33:48,680 --> 00:33:50,920
Speaker 1: I had just moved to Denver and I was living

656
00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:53,400
Speaker 1: with this couple, a friend, very good friends named Kiwie

657
00:33:53,400 --> 00:33:55,160
Speaker 1: and Leslie. They're a married couple, and so I'm like

658
00:33:55,200 --> 00:33:57,400
Speaker 1: in this spare bedroom, just trying to pay rent. So

659
00:33:57,440 --> 00:34:01,120
Speaker 1: I took this cash Now job weeks. Excuse me, Kiwi.

660
00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:06,000
Speaker 1: His name is John, but he's from New Zealand. So yep,

661
00:34:06,440 --> 00:34:09,879
Speaker 1: and uh, what happened was nine eleven happened. I didn't

662
00:34:09,880 --> 00:34:12,520
Speaker 1: think Erica's interjection could get worse than the last one,

663
00:34:14,719 --> 00:34:18,120
Speaker 1: but nine eleven unfurls out of nowhere on a morning

664
00:34:18,120 --> 00:34:24,040
Speaker 1: in September, right out of nowhere, according to most. And uh,

665
00:34:24,160 --> 00:34:26,520
Speaker 1: I'm sitting there in this hotel this is where this

666
00:34:26,719 --> 00:34:28,640
Speaker 1: that we we were our company was based out of

667
00:34:28,640 --> 00:34:31,200
Speaker 1: a hotel room, which is should tell you something right there,

668
00:34:31,800 --> 00:34:35,120
Speaker 1: but we I was there doing a sixcel spreadsheet watching

669
00:34:35,120 --> 00:34:38,320
Speaker 1: New York burned to the ground, and all my friends

670
00:34:38,360 --> 00:34:39,839
Speaker 1: are in New York. I had just moved from New

671
00:34:39,920 --> 00:34:42,359
Speaker 1: York City, and so I'm trying to get on the

672
00:34:42,680 --> 00:34:44,680
Speaker 1: as you remember that, trying to call anyone from the

673
00:34:44,719 --> 00:34:47,439
Speaker 1: East coast, you couldn't get through, basically, And I'll never

674
00:34:47,440 --> 00:34:51,040
Speaker 1: forget this because I wrote it down. This uh gem

675
00:34:51,080 --> 00:34:54,279
Speaker 1: of an individual, This boss who ran this company was

676
00:34:54,440 --> 00:34:57,200
Speaker 1: already tired with nine eleven, fourteen minutes into it, because

677
00:34:57,239 --> 00:35:01,279
Speaker 1: he wanted us focused on our est not cash, not

678
00:35:01,360 --> 00:35:03,840
Speaker 1: cash in two thousand and two right now. And he

679
00:35:03,920 --> 00:35:07,760
Speaker 1: kept saying, let's stay focused people, eyes on keyboard, eyes

680
00:35:07,840 --> 00:35:11,120
Speaker 1: on keyboard, And I'm trying to figure out what's happening. Yeah,

681
00:35:11,120 --> 00:35:13,520
Speaker 1: and so I like when and took I have to

682
00:35:13,560 --> 00:35:16,680
Speaker 1: go take a This was in Denver, so in his

683
00:35:16,800 --> 00:35:19,360
Speaker 1: world it was not something it was nine eleven was

684
00:35:19,360 --> 00:35:23,040
Speaker 1: a regional issue and not a hotel, right, a back

685
00:35:23,160 --> 00:35:26,239
Speaker 1: watertel room. Does he have like a whipping stick or

686
00:35:26,280 --> 00:35:28,040
Speaker 1: something for people who don't keep their eyes? He was

687
00:35:28,080 --> 00:35:31,239
Speaker 1: a very he was a very grading man, and so

688
00:35:31,400 --> 00:35:34,880
Speaker 1: he was annoyed with my my reaction to nine eleven

689
00:35:34,920 --> 00:35:37,320
Speaker 1: in general. And the next day he claimed it was

690
00:35:37,360 --> 00:35:40,239
Speaker 1: budget cuts, but I mean, please, he basically fired me.

691
00:35:40,600 --> 00:35:42,759
Speaker 1: And a mile away from the place I'm home, I'm

692
00:35:42,840 --> 00:35:45,560
Speaker 1: driving home in a in my least car got into

693
00:35:45,600 --> 00:35:49,160
Speaker 1: a major car accident and suddenly had no job and

694
00:35:49,200 --> 00:35:57,360
Speaker 1: no car. Um all right, the next I like that story.

695
00:35:57,440 --> 00:35:59,399
Speaker 1: I hate the story, and I hope that man got

696
00:35:59,440 --> 00:36:02,440
Speaker 1: I hope he's and where's the where's that wretched doler?

697
00:36:03,280 --> 00:36:09,280
Speaker 1: Where's she? Now? He's making money off for seven hundred

698
00:36:09,320 --> 00:36:12,839
Speaker 1: thousand Twitter followers seven seven nine eleven. Guy there too,

699
00:36:13,600 --> 00:36:17,400
Speaker 1: right now, that's a man with perspective. The third tier

700
00:36:17,520 --> 00:36:20,520
Speaker 1: back on August, this was the feeling good, feeling secure,

701
00:36:20,560 --> 00:36:25,600
Speaker 1: life is good tier begins at number ten with Mike Tomlin,

702
00:36:26,360 --> 00:36:35,360
Speaker 1: Bruce Arians, Sean McDermott, Bill O'Brien, Adam Gaze, and Mike Vrabel,

703
00:36:37,160 --> 00:36:40,760
Speaker 1: who is not feeling good feeling only one of those.

704
00:36:40,840 --> 00:36:42,440
Speaker 1: I think the rest of them are all fine. I

705
00:36:42,440 --> 00:36:47,920
Speaker 1: think it's pretty clear. I mean it's crazy that the

706
00:36:48,800 --> 00:36:51,160
Speaker 1: I've loved these reports in New York the last couple

707
00:36:51,160 --> 00:36:54,480
Speaker 1: of weeks with Schumer, uh Pat Shermer rather and uh

708
00:36:54,960 --> 00:36:58,000
Speaker 1: Adam Gaze, where it's like, hey, we're gonna be patient,

709
00:36:58,120 --> 00:36:59,920
Speaker 1: and then you read the article it's like, what, we're

710
00:37:00,080 --> 00:37:02,280
Speaker 1: us not firing him this week? It's it's his first

711
00:37:02,360 --> 00:37:04,759
Speaker 1: year on the job. That's not being patient. Like the

712
00:37:04,800 --> 00:37:07,759
Speaker 1: fact that you need ownership sources to say we're not

713
00:37:07,840 --> 00:37:10,680
Speaker 1: gonna fire the first year guy in the middle of

714
00:37:10,680 --> 00:37:15,000
Speaker 1: the season is ominous. You read all the time about

715
00:37:15,040 --> 00:37:17,360
Speaker 1: what owners are looking for in head coaches these days,

716
00:37:18,120 --> 00:37:21,680
Speaker 1: and Adam Gaze is the polar opposite of just about

717
00:37:21,719 --> 00:37:24,200
Speaker 1: everything they're looking for in a head coach, like able

718
00:37:24,239 --> 00:37:27,200
Speaker 1: to deal with the media, always has a nice bearing,

719
00:37:27,280 --> 00:37:31,880
Speaker 1: and leadership about him is polished contact. Yeah, this is

720
00:37:32,040 --> 00:37:34,200
Speaker 1: There's nothing that Adam Gaze does that is like, what

721
00:37:34,280 --> 00:37:36,239
Speaker 1: the new breed of head coach is supposed to be

722
00:37:36,640 --> 00:37:39,000
Speaker 1: nailed it h and in the offense is you know,

723
00:37:39,120 --> 00:37:41,720
Speaker 1: until last week, tracking to be one of the worst

724
00:37:41,719 --> 00:37:44,440
Speaker 1: in the history of the averaging averaging twelve points per

725
00:37:44,480 --> 00:37:48,920
Speaker 1: game before last week. Mike Tomlin has solidified his standing

726
00:37:49,040 --> 00:37:51,680
Speaker 1: right Absolutely, he would bump up to the higher tier

727
00:37:51,719 --> 00:37:55,239
Speaker 1: for sure. I don't think Bruce arians McDermot in my mind,

728
00:37:55,280 --> 00:37:57,200
Speaker 1: just because I feel like he is there and he's

729
00:37:57,239 --> 00:37:59,440
Speaker 1: staying in for a for a while. I left that

730
00:37:59,520 --> 00:38:01,319
Speaker 1: one at any Lynn. I was gonna say what at

731
00:38:01,360 --> 00:38:04,040
Speaker 1: the Chargers and they things have been a little bit better,

732
00:38:04,080 --> 00:38:06,520
Speaker 1: but that was an ugly loss last Thursday night. I mean,

733
00:38:06,600 --> 00:38:08,959
Speaker 1: what if they went off a cliff? Is Anthony Lynn

734
00:38:09,280 --> 00:38:11,719
Speaker 1: that's safe on a team that's going through a ton

735
00:38:11,800 --> 00:38:15,520
Speaker 1: of transition to begin with, or maybe that helps him,

736
00:38:15,800 --> 00:38:17,800
Speaker 1: I don't know. I can't blame him for their injuries.

737
00:38:18,120 --> 00:38:21,879
Speaker 1: He also is coming off like um naggy the fact

738
00:38:21,880 --> 00:38:23,520
Speaker 1: that he was a Coach of the Year candidate and

739
00:38:23,560 --> 00:38:26,239
Speaker 1: got some votes last year. I don't know if they're

740
00:38:26,280 --> 00:38:28,680
Speaker 1: looking to LESCo. I don't think you know who hired

741
00:38:28,760 --> 00:38:31,200
Speaker 1: him would would have any interest in fire him. So

742
00:38:31,320 --> 00:38:33,800
Speaker 1: I don't know if the SPANUS is want to clean

743
00:38:33,880 --> 00:38:38,799
Speaker 1: house totally. Leo has been great too, right, He's he's

744
00:38:38,800 --> 00:38:40,680
Speaker 1: done a good job. No, I was gonna say, if

745
00:38:40,719 --> 00:38:43,160
Speaker 1: you go from thirteen to sixteen on this list, which

746
00:38:43,160 --> 00:38:45,600
Speaker 1: is Lynn O'Brien, Gaze Rabel, I don't think any of

747
00:38:45,640 --> 00:38:48,160
Speaker 1: those guys are necessarily safe if the wheels fall off

748
00:38:48,160 --> 00:38:50,719
Speaker 1: totally in these last seven weeks, do you guys think

749
00:38:50,760 --> 00:38:52,200
Speaker 1: I think all of them could be in danger in

750
00:38:52,280 --> 00:38:55,320
Speaker 1: that spot. Remember eight guys, eight guys on average the

751
00:38:55,400 --> 00:38:57,759
Speaker 1: last few years ago. Bill O'Brien just seems like he's

752
00:38:57,800 --> 00:39:00,840
Speaker 1: been through fifty wards at this point, has more power

753
00:39:00,880 --> 00:39:04,000
Speaker 1: than ever before. Right. I think he was took a

754
00:39:04,040 --> 00:39:06,200
Speaker 1: lot of risks with what he did before the season.

755
00:39:06,520 --> 00:39:09,120
Speaker 1: He's gotta keep it going. He's got to make the playoffs.

756
00:39:09,200 --> 00:39:11,560
Speaker 1: But he's on track to do all that. I mean,

757
00:39:11,600 --> 00:39:14,879
Speaker 1: he might be watching jedev and Clowney last night and

758
00:39:15,200 --> 00:39:17,600
Speaker 1: I wish that he didn't have to page at Evan

759
00:39:17,640 --> 00:39:20,239
Speaker 1: clown in seven million dollars to go away this year.

760
00:39:20,640 --> 00:39:23,840
Speaker 1: Nice job by Clowney. Yeah, I could say that west

761
00:39:24,040 --> 00:39:27,600
Speaker 1: Um the post office. You left voluntarily from there, right,

762
00:39:27,680 --> 00:39:30,759
Speaker 1: left voluntarily? I've never been fired. But I did have

763
00:39:31,400 --> 00:39:34,839
Speaker 1: a one day job giving him any grief. He didn't

764
00:39:34,880 --> 00:39:36,759
Speaker 1: do it, wasn't fired. I mean, I don't kept it

765
00:39:36,800 --> 00:39:39,520
Speaker 1: to himself. You know he didn't. He was about it.

766
00:39:39,600 --> 00:39:41,960
Speaker 1: You before I said anything, you like, Oh, this is

767
00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:45,360
Speaker 1: so hard. I've been so valued everywhere I've come. Before

768
00:39:45,400 --> 00:39:48,040
Speaker 1: I said anything, you literally said, oh, I bet Greg

769
00:39:48,080 --> 00:39:51,880
Speaker 1: you you'll say that you've never been fired. I apologize.

770
00:39:52,200 --> 00:39:55,400
Speaker 1: I was. I was just between. It was my start

771
00:39:55,440 --> 00:39:57,560
Speaker 1: of my first year of college, my freshman year. So

772
00:39:57,600 --> 00:40:00,399
Speaker 1: I was eighteen years old, and my dad, I think,

773
00:40:00,480 --> 00:40:03,320
Speaker 1: pulled a string or two to get me a job

774
00:40:03,360 --> 00:40:06,480
Speaker 1: with a big ice company in Cincinnati as a driver

775
00:40:07,080 --> 00:40:11,000
Speaker 1: driving a monster truck around these back roads of Kentucky

776
00:40:11,239 --> 00:40:14,880
Speaker 1: at Biana, Ohio. This is the days before GPS. I

777
00:40:14,920 --> 00:40:18,560
Speaker 1: had no idea where I was going, and um to

778
00:40:18,760 --> 00:40:21,840
Speaker 1: my naive eighteen year old eyes, the directions I was given.

779
00:40:21,880 --> 00:40:23,560
Speaker 1: Once I got out on the road, I could not

780
00:40:23,640 --> 00:40:26,080
Speaker 1: make heads or tails. There's no ways, you know, there's

781
00:40:26,160 --> 00:40:29,360
Speaker 1: no Google Maps. And I'm going to like Owensboro County,

782
00:40:29,400 --> 00:40:33,080
Speaker 1: which I've never heard of before, to drop off ice

783
00:40:33,160 --> 00:40:36,360
Speaker 1: at like some country store, and there's no like vehicle training,

784
00:40:36,640 --> 00:40:40,000
Speaker 1: so I'm trying to manage just like long truck backing

785
00:40:40,120 --> 00:40:43,239
Speaker 1: it into like these pony kegs and stuff. Um. I

786
00:40:43,360 --> 00:40:47,880
Speaker 1: end up coming back around midnight from my from my delivery,

787
00:40:47,920 --> 00:40:51,360
Speaker 1: which was supposed to be It was like a Saturday afternoon.

788
00:40:51,400 --> 00:40:53,600
Speaker 1: I'm want to watch college football and everybody, all my

789
00:40:53,680 --> 00:40:56,200
Speaker 1: friends are out partying, and you know, all the other

790
00:40:56,239 --> 00:40:58,680
Speaker 1: delivery drivers are back by five in the afternoon. Here

791
00:40:58,680 --> 00:41:01,040
Speaker 1: it is midnight. I come back ended up not even

792
00:41:01,080 --> 00:41:03,080
Speaker 1: making a couple of my last deliveries because it was

793
00:41:03,080 --> 00:41:06,239
Speaker 1: so late and I couldn't find the place put the

794
00:41:06,280 --> 00:41:09,440
Speaker 1: ice back in like the the receptacle tank ended up

795
00:41:09,480 --> 00:41:12,080
Speaker 1: spilling it all over the place, and I was just like,

796
00:41:12,120 --> 00:41:15,440
Speaker 1: I am never coming back to this wretched job again.

797
00:41:16,040 --> 00:41:18,239
Speaker 1: So I just no called, no showed, and my I

798
00:41:18,239 --> 00:41:20,080
Speaker 1: don't think my dad was too thrilled since he had

799
00:41:20,120 --> 00:41:23,840
Speaker 1: pulled the string. Classic let that down in a big spot.

800
00:41:24,760 --> 00:41:28,239
Speaker 1: That was a grow up situation, just too too much,

801
00:41:28,280 --> 00:41:34,120
Speaker 1: too soon for me. The next category is newbies. I

802
00:41:34,200 --> 00:41:36,680
Speaker 1: kept these and a these guys in a separate category

803
00:41:36,760 --> 00:41:40,040
Speaker 1: first time head coaches because typically they get more than

804
00:41:40,080 --> 00:41:42,040
Speaker 1: one year. So let's see, do we think any of

805
00:41:42,040 --> 00:41:44,960
Speaker 1: these guys are in trouble. I had Kingsbury at seventeen.

806
00:41:45,080 --> 00:41:49,200
Speaker 1: Zach Taylor, who three months since this has been written,

807
00:41:49,200 --> 00:41:52,920
Speaker 1: still doesn't have a win eighteen, Brian Floors nineteen, Freddie

808
00:41:52,960 --> 00:42:00,200
Speaker 1: Kitchens twenty, Vic Fangio one, Matt Lafleur twenty two. How

809
00:42:00,239 --> 00:42:02,480
Speaker 1: did Gates get out of this group because he's not

810
00:42:02,520 --> 00:42:07,880
Speaker 1: the first time first time coach? Just like, how did

811
00:42:07,880 --> 00:42:10,560
Speaker 1: he get boosted up? Which is which was smart because

812
00:42:10,640 --> 00:42:14,680
Speaker 1: he could be fired. These guys have more runaway Kingsbury

813
00:42:14,880 --> 00:42:16,879
Speaker 1: in the Flora on top of the world right now.

814
00:42:17,440 --> 00:42:19,719
Speaker 1: I know Kingsbury's record isn't great, but he's done what

815
00:42:19,760 --> 00:42:23,720
Speaker 1: you wanted him to do. Zach Taylor. I mean, he's

816
00:42:23,760 --> 00:42:26,160
Speaker 1: with that mom and pop franchise that doesn't pay two

817
00:42:26,160 --> 00:42:28,239
Speaker 1: coaches at the same time. They're gonna want to see

818
00:42:28,320 --> 00:42:30,800
Speaker 1: him with the number one overall draft pick or the

819
00:42:30,880 --> 00:42:34,120
Speaker 1: number two overall traffic. I mean they've got a nice yeah,

820
00:42:34,160 --> 00:42:36,080
Speaker 1: they've got a nice little lead there for that pick.

821
00:42:36,120 --> 00:42:39,200
Speaker 1: The Kitchens. There you go, Mark No, I mean, what's

822
00:42:39,719 --> 00:42:41,960
Speaker 1: Zach Taylor also has shown me literally nothing, but I

823
00:42:42,320 --> 00:42:45,320
Speaker 1: get it. It's a it's a tough situation. Freddie Kitchens

824
00:42:46,120 --> 00:42:53,920
Speaker 1: the word that you catch a totally hold on all

825
00:42:53,920 --> 00:42:57,120
Speaker 1: the time. All the time we talk about do something

826
00:42:57,520 --> 00:42:59,960
Speaker 1: that difference. It's you for one of these thirty two jobs.

827
00:43:00,000 --> 00:43:02,040
Speaker 1: I'm just I'm not saying he doesn't possess those skills.

828
00:43:02,080 --> 00:43:03,960
Speaker 1: I haven't seen it. If I could make something up,

829
00:43:04,000 --> 00:43:06,480
Speaker 1: but I'm not gonna now. I think that's totally fair.

830
00:43:06,560 --> 00:43:09,200
Speaker 1: I just think from West's point, I don't think he

831
00:43:09,239 --> 00:43:10,960
Speaker 1: would be in any trouble. I don't think he'd be

832
00:43:10,960 --> 00:43:12,480
Speaker 1: in trouble even if you went out in sixth team.

833
00:43:12,480 --> 00:43:14,759
Speaker 1: But I guess you never know. Kitchens would concern me

834
00:43:14,960 --> 00:43:18,800
Speaker 1: because you know, you hear a little rumblings behind the scenes,

835
00:43:19,000 --> 00:43:21,600
Speaker 1: and the word or the type of word that seems

836
00:43:21,640 --> 00:43:23,640
Speaker 1: to come up over and over, and it's not a

837
00:43:23,640 --> 00:43:26,480
Speaker 1: shocking word if you're watching their games, is overwhelmed and

838
00:43:26,960 --> 00:43:30,799
Speaker 1: not totally ready to certainly make in game decisions. And

839
00:43:30,880 --> 00:43:34,320
Speaker 1: the play calling, which in theory was the mind meld

840
00:43:34,360 --> 00:43:37,120
Speaker 1: with Baker Mayfield and all this other stuff. The quarterbacks progressed,

841
00:43:37,320 --> 00:43:40,279
Speaker 1: the play calling is a weekly talking point, and it

842
00:43:40,320 --> 00:43:42,560
Speaker 1: couldn't be more of a talking point than it was

843
00:43:42,719 --> 00:43:45,960
Speaker 1: coming out of Sunday. And now what the coach killer

844
00:43:45,960 --> 00:43:49,400
Speaker 1: in Cleveland typically is not handling business against your own division,

845
00:43:49,400 --> 00:43:52,520
Speaker 1: which has been every Brown's coach. And Thursday Night, a

846
00:43:52,520 --> 00:43:54,960
Speaker 1: lot of eyeballs on the team against the Steelers will

847
00:43:54,960 --> 00:43:57,280
Speaker 1: get into that game. But things could go very south,

848
00:43:57,440 --> 00:43:59,640
Speaker 1: or things could get a lot I think from here

849
00:43:59,680 --> 00:44:02,280
Speaker 1: to the is what happens to Freddy Kitchens. The games

850
00:44:02,280 --> 00:44:05,320
Speaker 1: will matter a ton well. The hallmarks of poor coaching

851
00:44:05,360 --> 00:44:11,120
Speaker 1: traditionally are sloppy play, too many penalties, and undisciplined. I mean,

852
00:44:11,200 --> 00:44:15,640
Speaker 1: you've got the Jarvis Landry penalty after the touchdown. You

853
00:44:15,680 --> 00:44:18,359
Speaker 1: don't see Belichick's teams doing this. You don't see other

854
00:44:18,400 --> 00:44:22,360
Speaker 1: guys that he's the poster child right now for poor coaching.

855
00:44:23,200 --> 00:44:25,400
Speaker 1: I think Vic Fonjo could only be in danger if

856
00:44:25,400 --> 00:44:28,120
Speaker 1: the Broncos decided they want to reboot the entire machine

857
00:44:28,520 --> 00:44:31,400
Speaker 1: and they get Elway out of that position and Elway's

858
00:44:31,480 --> 00:44:33,680
Speaker 1: new guy or places him once his guy, that would

859
00:44:33,719 --> 00:44:36,040
Speaker 1: be the only thing. But I mean, that would be

860
00:44:36,200 --> 00:44:40,000
Speaker 1: quite an overthrow of power there not impossible, though that

861
00:44:40,120 --> 00:44:43,359
Speaker 1: doesn't seem like they want to. The ownership situation is

862
00:44:44,040 --> 00:44:48,600
Speaker 1: very murky, and you know there's confusion and you know

863
00:44:49,120 --> 00:44:51,440
Speaker 1: finagling going on. Behind the scenes when it comes to

864
00:44:51,480 --> 00:44:54,000
Speaker 1: the ownership, So they don't. They seem like they want

865
00:44:54,080 --> 00:44:57,040
Speaker 1: John Elway running the ship no matter what. Um. The

866
00:44:57,080 --> 00:44:59,160
Speaker 1: first job I ever had is also the only job

867
00:44:59,200 --> 00:45:01,239
Speaker 1: that I've been fired him. I was working at shop Wright,

868
00:45:01,320 --> 00:45:04,720
Speaker 1: which was a major grocery store chain still is uh

869
00:45:04,760 --> 00:45:08,080
Speaker 1: in the Northeast, and um when it was not very

870
00:45:08,120 --> 00:45:10,439
Speaker 1: good at the job for the reasons that listeners might

871
00:45:11,120 --> 00:45:16,760
Speaker 1: be able to guess, my till was short several times.

872
00:45:16,280 --> 00:45:19,800
Speaker 1: I counter for a while, really basic, you know, because

873
00:45:19,840 --> 00:45:22,480
Speaker 1: it used to be much more difficult. People paid with

874
00:45:22,560 --> 00:45:26,280
Speaker 1: cash a lot more in the mid nineties, checks in cash,

875
00:45:26,680 --> 00:45:28,120
Speaker 1: and you had to kind of balance your til at

876
00:45:28,120 --> 00:45:29,640
Speaker 1: the end of the night. Now, if I'm sure, if

877
00:45:29,640 --> 00:45:31,520
Speaker 1: you work an eight hour shift at a grocery store,

878
00:45:33,440 --> 00:45:35,640
Speaker 1: of the transactions are going to be made with debit

879
00:45:35,800 --> 00:45:39,399
Speaker 1: or credit? Uh, if not more back then what like

880
00:45:40,960 --> 00:45:44,120
Speaker 1: of checks? A lot of money being exchanged. And so

881
00:45:44,239 --> 00:45:45,680
Speaker 1: my till was short a couple of times, but not

882
00:45:45,760 --> 00:45:47,200
Speaker 1: to the point where I was getting fired. I was

883
00:45:47,239 --> 00:45:49,880
Speaker 1: just put on this probation like, Hey, it's happened twice,

884
00:45:49,880 --> 00:45:52,960
Speaker 1: it can't happen again. Did they suspect you of potentially

885
00:45:52,960 --> 00:45:55,840
Speaker 1: take they always do because it's young punk kids. Me.

886
00:45:56,040 --> 00:45:57,960
Speaker 1: I know, not at all. I that was not who

887
00:45:58,000 --> 00:46:01,080
Speaker 1: I was. But then near the end of the summer,

888
00:46:01,640 --> 00:46:06,359
Speaker 1: um my buddy Bob and I his mother Linda ran

889
00:46:06,480 --> 00:46:10,200
Speaker 1: her own um um small business where she sold crafts,

890
00:46:11,040 --> 00:46:15,040
Speaker 1: little knick knacks and things of that nature, jewelry and UH.

891
00:46:15,160 --> 00:46:17,840
Speaker 1: At the end of the summer at the wild Wildwood,

892
00:46:17,880 --> 00:46:22,200
Speaker 1: New Jersey um boardwalk there was a big craft expo.

893
00:46:22,560 --> 00:46:24,680
Speaker 1: I mean, this is where all the heavy hitters win

894
00:46:25,360 --> 00:46:28,319
Speaker 1: UH to end the summer for Labor Day weekend. And

895
00:46:28,400 --> 00:46:30,560
Speaker 1: for Bob and I it was the first time we

896
00:46:30,640 --> 00:46:34,720
Speaker 1: ever got a chance to I would tag along with Bob,

897
00:46:35,400 --> 00:46:39,279
Speaker 1: Linda and Bob's sister Lori, who hated me, and I

898
00:46:39,320 --> 00:46:42,200
Speaker 1: returned the favor as well. We we would we would

899
00:46:42,320 --> 00:46:45,360
Speaker 1: like each other, but back then we were all young, um.

900
00:46:45,480 --> 00:46:47,480
Speaker 1: But Bob and I it was a golden opportunity to

901
00:46:47,760 --> 00:46:50,200
Speaker 1: you know, walk the boardwalk and stay at a hotel

902
00:46:50,840 --> 00:46:53,960
Speaker 1: and try to talk to girls. And that was also

903
00:46:54,000 --> 00:46:55,759
Speaker 1: like around the time. One time Bob and I met

904
00:46:55,800 --> 00:46:59,120
Speaker 1: two girls and then we agreed to meet the next night.

905
00:46:59,160 --> 00:47:02,439
Speaker 1: And when we got to the meeting point to other

906
00:47:02,560 --> 00:47:05,359
Speaker 1: like dudes, like big dudes, and one had a big

907
00:47:05,400 --> 00:47:08,040
Speaker 1: snake around his neck and a wife beater a shirt on,

908
00:47:08,520 --> 00:47:10,920
Speaker 1: and uh, we just walked away because we lost that

909
00:47:10,960 --> 00:47:13,360
Speaker 1: guy's get him a date. We were defeated on the

910
00:47:13,360 --> 00:47:16,680
Speaker 1: wildwood boardwalking. You had a snake, and you were taller

911
00:47:16,719 --> 00:47:18,960
Speaker 1: and older than us. We knew were already dead. That's

912
00:47:19,000 --> 00:47:22,080
Speaker 1: beside the point. Anyway, this weekend was coming up, and

913
00:47:22,120 --> 00:47:24,839
Speaker 1: I didn't really know how asking off really worked because

914
00:47:24,840 --> 00:47:27,080
Speaker 1: I was so new to working, so I kind of

915
00:47:27,080 --> 00:47:29,319
Speaker 1: forgot to ask until a week before. And then when

916
00:47:29,320 --> 00:47:31,719
Speaker 1: I did ask, I didn't hear back, and then I

917
00:47:31,800 --> 00:47:34,040
Speaker 1: just didn't go to work. And then when I came

918
00:47:34,080 --> 00:47:36,239
Speaker 1: to work the following Tuesday after Labor Day weekend, I

919
00:47:36,280 --> 00:47:38,400
Speaker 1: couldn't punch in and they're like, oh, yeah, you were

920
00:47:38,480 --> 00:47:41,160
Speaker 1: no call, no show, so we fired you. And I

921
00:47:41,239 --> 00:47:48,360
Speaker 1: was like, oh that's how things, And you know, I

922
00:47:48,600 --> 00:47:51,120
Speaker 1: love it. I do it again because it was fun

923
00:47:51,160 --> 00:47:53,960
Speaker 1: times down on the Jersey boardwalk. Now you're the man

924
00:47:54,000 --> 00:47:56,040
Speaker 1: with the snake around your neck and young people are

925
00:47:56,040 --> 00:47:59,000
Speaker 1: scared of you exactly. All right, here's uh the next group.

926
00:47:59,560 --> 00:48:02,960
Speaker 1: Uh John Harbaugh, this is the seat perhaps warmer than

927
00:48:03,080 --> 00:48:05,920
Speaker 1: preferred John Harbaugh, who might shoot all the way back up.

928
00:48:06,280 --> 00:48:09,960
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, to um the top the top tier anyway.

929
00:48:10,320 --> 00:48:14,840
Speaker 1: Ron Rivera's in the top tier. Yeah, Ron Rivera twenty four,

930
00:48:15,080 --> 00:48:20,560
Speaker 1: Dan Quinn at, Mike Zimmer at six, Jason Garrett at seven,

931
00:48:20,600 --> 00:48:24,600
Speaker 1: and at number twenty eight Kyle Shanahan of the eight

932
00:48:24,640 --> 00:48:26,719
Speaker 1: and one forty niners. So this is the second to

933
00:48:26,840 --> 00:48:29,239
Speaker 1: last tier, uh, the one you don't really want to

934
00:48:29,280 --> 00:48:32,279
Speaker 1: be in. Shanahan obviously is moving all the way up

935
00:48:32,320 --> 00:48:35,680
Speaker 1: to the first tier. Um. But I would think that

936
00:48:35,800 --> 00:48:40,680
Speaker 1: Jason Garrett, certainly Dan Quinn and perhaps Ron Rivera all

937
00:48:40,760 --> 00:48:44,279
Speaker 1: in danger here. Well, I think dan Quinn is is

938
00:48:44,320 --> 00:48:49,520
Speaker 1: gonna lose his job. I think Rivera is the biggest mystery,

939
00:48:49,719 --> 00:48:53,440
Speaker 1: Like if they make the playoffs, it feels unfair to

940
00:48:53,480 --> 00:48:55,239
Speaker 1: fire him. And yet I don't know if that their

941
00:48:55,280 --> 00:48:57,120
Speaker 1: new owner is gonna just want to do a house

942
00:48:57,160 --> 00:49:00,480
Speaker 1: cleaning with with Rivera. It's up in the air. Everyone

943
00:49:00,560 --> 00:49:02,399
Speaker 1: keeps saying the new owner, the new owner, but I've

944
00:49:02,400 --> 00:49:05,399
Speaker 1: never seen any indication that he does not like Ron Rivera. Well,

945
00:49:05,400 --> 00:49:07,880
Speaker 1: he didn't sign him to a contract, you know, when

946
00:49:08,040 --> 00:49:11,640
Speaker 1: Rivera wanted one, So that's that to me. I mean,

947
00:49:11,960 --> 00:49:14,719
Speaker 1: it doesn't mean it doesn't mean it's over. I just

948
00:49:14,760 --> 00:49:16,759
Speaker 1: think they he went into this year kind of knowing

949
00:49:16,800 --> 00:49:19,480
Speaker 1: what the score was. There's and there's some fun stuff

950
00:49:19,480 --> 00:49:23,000
Speaker 1: to unpack with Jason Garrett based off his press conference

951
00:49:23,120 --> 00:49:25,560
Speaker 1: on Monday, but maybe I'll save that for the Thursday

952
00:49:25,719 --> 00:49:30,319
Speaker 1: Cowboys preview. Are they playing this week? They are? They've

953
00:49:30,320 --> 00:49:33,600
Speaker 1: already hit their bike, right, so we'll talk about Jason

954
00:49:33,640 --> 00:49:37,440
Speaker 1: garrettmore on Thursday. Um uh. And then of course, yeah,

955
00:49:37,520 --> 00:49:39,920
Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan in the piece I wrote that, you know,

956
00:49:40,000 --> 00:49:41,600
Speaker 1: they believe in him, they just have to kind of

957
00:49:41,640 --> 00:49:44,000
Speaker 1: do it already, and they finally have kind of put

958
00:49:44,000 --> 00:49:47,279
Speaker 1: it together after going ten and twenty two, uh, in

959
00:49:47,280 --> 00:49:52,600
Speaker 1: those first two years. All right, now, the Danger Group

960
00:49:52,840 --> 00:49:56,680
Speaker 1: number twenty nine, Oh, before we do that, actually, let

961
00:49:56,680 --> 00:49:59,800
Speaker 1: me go through this, and then Greg's started Danger Group,

962
00:50:00,040 --> 00:50:07,640
Speaker 1: Matt Patricia Lyons, Doug Maron, Jaguars, Hat Sharmer Giants, the

963
00:50:07,760 --> 00:50:13,680
Speaker 1: number thirty two. He gone, who's the guy that feels

964
00:50:13,680 --> 00:50:15,080
Speaker 1: the best right now? Because once you get off the

965
00:50:15,120 --> 00:50:16,960
Speaker 1: hot seat and you're just getting paid money to do

966
00:50:17,040 --> 00:50:20,280
Speaker 1: nothing and all that pressure and stresses off your shoulders,

967
00:50:20,280 --> 00:50:22,040
Speaker 1: I'm sure he feels better than any of the coaches

968
00:50:22,040 --> 00:50:23,560
Speaker 1: in the league right now. It's like when Rob Bryan

969
00:50:23,640 --> 00:50:26,040
Speaker 1: got a phone call on the on a tropical beach

970
00:50:26,120 --> 00:50:27,880
Speaker 1: that he had been let go by the Cowboys. Like

971
00:50:28,040 --> 00:50:29,680
Speaker 1: right away, you run to the bar and just have

972
00:50:29,760 --> 00:50:31,960
Speaker 1: a great night and say I'm still so I get

973
00:50:32,000 --> 00:50:34,960
Speaker 1: to go on like unemployment on steroids for the next

974
00:50:35,040 --> 00:50:40,320
Speaker 1: two years. All right, spell you later, Um Patricia, Maron Schermer,

975
00:50:40,840 --> 00:50:45,200
Speaker 1: Are they all done? I don't think Maron's done. I

976
00:50:45,280 --> 00:50:48,640
Speaker 1: think for make they need to finish strong. Was That's

977
00:50:48,640 --> 00:50:51,160
Speaker 1: what I think. That's fair if they if they go

978
00:50:51,200 --> 00:50:54,239
Speaker 1: in the tank, maybe, but it seems like they're their

979
00:50:54,280 --> 00:50:57,280
Speaker 1: owner liked the way he handled the Jalen Ramsey situation,

980
00:50:57,320 --> 00:51:00,400
Speaker 1: and maybe Tom Coughlin didn't handle it quite as and

981
00:51:00,480 --> 00:51:03,839
Speaker 1: losing Nick Foles and still being a viable team through

982
00:51:04,080 --> 00:51:07,719
Speaker 1: most of them. Yeah, I think it's the remaining what

983
00:51:07,840 --> 00:51:12,360
Speaker 1: is it seven games for them. It's gonna tell his story.

984
00:51:12,680 --> 00:51:15,640
Speaker 1: Where we are with Matt Patricia, I think it seemed

985
00:51:15,640 --> 00:51:17,400
Speaker 1: like a month ago people were impressed with him, and

986
00:51:17,440 --> 00:51:19,920
Speaker 1: now everybody's saying his he was hired to fix the

987
00:51:19,920 --> 00:51:22,359
Speaker 1: defense and the defense is terrible. It seems very up

988
00:51:22,360 --> 00:51:24,680
Speaker 1: and down. You're right in terms of how he's viewed.

989
00:51:24,719 --> 00:51:27,360
Speaker 1: But they did. I mean, remember they fired Jim Caldwell

990
00:51:27,400 --> 00:51:29,319
Speaker 1: after back to back nine and seven seasons. They go

991
00:51:29,440 --> 00:51:33,000
Speaker 1: six and ten last year and nobody seemed particularly impressed.

992
00:51:33,040 --> 00:51:35,239
Speaker 1: And then when this season kicked off, like West is saying,

993
00:51:35,480 --> 00:51:37,880
Speaker 1: people are saying, Wow, this team is making strides. The

994
00:51:37,960 --> 00:51:41,520
Speaker 1: offense has certainly gotten better, and maybe they're buying into

995
00:51:41,520 --> 00:51:44,200
Speaker 1: the culture, the Patricia slash Belichick culture. But they have

996
00:51:44,280 --> 00:51:46,920
Speaker 1: one of the worst defenses in football and seemed to

997
00:51:46,920 --> 00:51:49,880
Speaker 1: be heading towards six nine and one. After six and ten, Well,

998
00:51:50,040 --> 00:51:52,479
Speaker 1: it's gonna come down with all these like who's doing

999
00:51:52,520 --> 00:51:55,160
Speaker 1: the firing and how much do they really want to

1000
00:51:55,239 --> 00:51:58,440
Speaker 1: change their entire organization? Like in Jacksonville, does he want

1001
00:51:58,480 --> 00:52:02,319
Speaker 1: to fire Tom Coughlin and called well Anne Moron, which

1002
00:52:02,360 --> 00:52:04,840
Speaker 1: feels like the way that he would probably do it

1003
00:52:04,880 --> 00:52:07,360
Speaker 1: if it happened. That's a lot in Detroit does the

1004
00:52:07,400 --> 00:52:10,640
Speaker 1: Ford family. I don't know who's making the decisions, is Martha.

1005
00:52:11,239 --> 00:52:14,200
Speaker 1: I mean she want to fire Bob Quinn who brought

1006
00:52:14,200 --> 00:52:16,600
Speaker 1: in Matt Patricia because Bob Quinn's not gonna be firing

1007
00:52:16,800 --> 00:52:20,520
Speaker 1: Matt Patricia and start over after just two years. I

1008
00:52:20,600 --> 00:52:24,839
Speaker 1: tend to think probably not unless things go really crazy bad,

1009
00:52:25,280 --> 00:52:27,840
Speaker 1: but that I want to see year three of Matt Patricia.

1010
00:52:27,880 --> 00:52:30,040
Speaker 1: I mean, I think invariably a lot of these guys

1011
00:52:30,080 --> 00:52:33,960
Speaker 1: get dumped before they even get to execute whatever plan

1012
00:52:34,080 --> 00:52:36,399
Speaker 1: they put into place and convinced an owner to get

1013
00:52:36,400 --> 00:52:39,480
Speaker 1: the job. And to begin with, the Lions have been

1014
00:52:39,520 --> 00:52:42,680
Speaker 1: more interesting this season than they have been in in

1015
00:52:42,760 --> 00:52:45,640
Speaker 1: my twenties, thirties or forties. That's fair if that year

1016
00:52:45,719 --> 00:52:48,160
Speaker 1: that they should have beaten the Cowboys in the playoffs,

1017
00:52:48,200 --> 00:52:50,520
Speaker 1: they were, I know, and their record was better, but

1018
00:52:50,600 --> 00:52:52,880
Speaker 1: for some reason they still registered to me as a

1019
00:52:53,080 --> 00:52:56,520
Speaker 1: raging dullard fest that for something, something about them this

1020
00:52:56,560 --> 00:53:00,520
Speaker 1: time around got me interested. I raged is not new,

1021
00:53:00,560 --> 00:53:03,400
Speaker 1: but no, I don't know how many more descriptions can

1022
00:53:03,400 --> 00:53:05,480
Speaker 1: you come up with for this team. Alright, Greg, close

1023
00:53:05,560 --> 00:53:08,680
Speaker 1: us out with a little little Rosenthal hot butt action.

1024
00:53:09,080 --> 00:53:11,200
Speaker 1: Let's see. I mean, i I've quit some jobs. I

1025
00:53:11,280 --> 00:53:13,920
Speaker 1: quit one on the you know, the first day, by phone,

1026
00:53:14,000 --> 00:53:16,759
Speaker 1: which they quickly told me like, this is a small industry,

1027
00:53:16,920 --> 00:53:19,560
Speaker 1: this is not a smart move. That was a segment

1028
00:53:19,600 --> 00:53:22,839
Speaker 1: producer job for uh an Action Sports show. And then

1029
00:53:22,840 --> 00:53:25,560
Speaker 1: I yeah, and I left the city six days later.

1030
00:53:25,800 --> 00:53:30,200
Speaker 1: But I'm gonna think of another one. Yeah, I left

1031
00:53:30,320 --> 00:53:32,600
Speaker 1: l A and yeah it took me fifteen years, ten

1032
00:53:32,880 --> 00:53:36,200
Speaker 1: years to come back before that guy was gone. In

1033
00:53:36,200 --> 00:53:38,280
Speaker 1: In uh, the summer one year, I was a waiter

1034
00:53:39,040 --> 00:53:42,320
Speaker 1: um and you know, it's the end of the summer

1035
00:53:42,640 --> 00:53:46,040
Speaker 1: and people are starting to leave and party or whatever.

1036
00:53:46,280 --> 00:53:48,359
Speaker 1: And I guess I had maybe asked for some days

1037
00:53:48,400 --> 00:53:50,920
Speaker 1: off and they were just like, yeah, you you know,

1038
00:53:51,000 --> 00:53:53,200
Speaker 1: we we need some extra shifts, Like you can't just

1039
00:53:53,280 --> 00:53:55,440
Speaker 1: take those days off at at the end of the summer.

1040
00:53:55,480 --> 00:53:58,400
Speaker 1: It was my last few days, you know, of the summer,

1041
00:53:58,400 --> 00:54:00,279
Speaker 1: and I just wanted to party, and I was just

1042
00:54:00,400 --> 00:54:02,879
Speaker 1: like no, which, okay, that would have been That would

1043
00:54:02,880 --> 00:54:04,480
Speaker 1: have been fine. I would have maybe not left in

1044
00:54:04,480 --> 00:54:08,400
Speaker 1: the best terms. But I stupidly went with my friends

1045
00:54:08,560 --> 00:54:13,080
Speaker 1: to the deck at the restaurant to drink um on

1046
00:54:13,080 --> 00:54:16,839
Speaker 1: one of those days. In the manager there, uh chef

1047
00:54:16,880 --> 00:54:23,000
Speaker 1: A was not was not happy, and uh I started

1048
00:54:23,040 --> 00:54:25,080
Speaker 1: talking to me about it, and we just left and

1049
00:54:25,120 --> 00:54:27,759
Speaker 1: I'll never forget walking down like the plank of the

1050
00:54:27,840 --> 00:54:31,400
Speaker 1: restaurant and him yelling after me, just like that's really

1051
00:54:31,520 --> 00:54:34,440
Speaker 1: ef and cool. Greg, that's really off and cool, just

1052
00:54:34,560 --> 00:54:37,120
Speaker 1: like screaming at me. And it didn't help that I

1053
00:54:37,160 --> 00:54:40,439
Speaker 1: was also renting an apartment in the back of Chef's house.

1054
00:54:42,880 --> 00:54:45,520
Speaker 1: You played, uh you know, I had a roommate at

1055
00:54:45,560 --> 00:54:47,239
Speaker 1: the time, who I you know? I now do uh

1056
00:54:47,440 --> 00:54:52,640
Speaker 1: the podcast with Anthony. And immediately after leaving for the summer,

1057
00:54:52,680 --> 00:54:55,320
Speaker 1: I kept getting these calls from Chef a these long

1058
00:54:55,440 --> 00:54:59,960
Speaker 1: messages and he wanted his very expensive bottle of vodka

1059
00:55:00,200 --> 00:55:02,200
Speaker 1: back from his room. And I was like, we didn't

1060
00:55:02,239 --> 00:55:04,239
Speaker 1: take any vodka, Like, we didn't touch it. Like I

1061
00:55:04,719 --> 00:55:08,560
Speaker 1: made Anthony just swear like we were staying in an

1062
00:55:08,600 --> 00:55:11,759
Speaker 1: attic rented base, like he kept hitting alcohol in the

1063
00:55:11,960 --> 00:55:14,919
Speaker 1: I don't know. There was like, yeah, there was an

1064
00:55:15,239 --> 00:55:17,239
Speaker 1: us to the renter. Let's stay. There was one huge thing.

1065
00:55:17,320 --> 00:55:18,360
Speaker 1: And I was just like he was like that was

1066
00:55:18,400 --> 00:55:20,960
Speaker 1: a really expensive bottle, Greg and all this stuff. And

1067
00:55:21,040 --> 00:55:22,759
Speaker 1: I made Anthony swear to me he didn't take us.

1068
00:55:22,760 --> 00:55:24,480
Speaker 1: I was just like, I don't know, man, it was enough.

1069
00:55:24,600 --> 00:55:28,560
Speaker 1: And then uh, a few weeks later, I realized, why

1070
00:55:28,560 --> 00:55:31,520
Speaker 1: did I believe Anthony? Of course he's stole that. Of course,

1071
00:55:32,960 --> 00:55:34,759
Speaker 1: could you have done a worse job with chef A

1072
00:55:34,840 --> 00:55:38,600
Speaker 1: in general, I mean, you disgraced his business, You thieved

1073
00:55:38,960 --> 00:55:42,960
Speaker 1: items out of his rent. Disrespectable as a man, that's

1074
00:55:43,000 --> 00:55:45,880
Speaker 1: what you did. And you weren't honorable. And I was

1075
00:55:45,920 --> 00:55:47,600
Speaker 1: a bad waiter too. I was in one of the

1076
00:55:47,600 --> 00:55:52,880
Speaker 1: worst sections. That was the twentieth percentile waiter. U. Al right,

1077
00:55:52,960 --> 00:55:56,280
Speaker 1: well there you go. So if you've been fired before,

1078
00:55:56,600 --> 00:55:59,719
Speaker 1: don't feel bad about it, because everybody's got a story.

1079
00:56:00,200 --> 00:56:06,239
Speaker 1: Some reflect worse on themselves than others, like Greg's story.

1080
00:56:06,640 --> 00:56:10,839
Speaker 1: I mean, chef A, please, did you ever Maybe that's

1081
00:56:10,840 --> 00:56:14,200
Speaker 1: something that would be one of those cool likes, you know, Yeah,

1082
00:56:14,320 --> 00:56:17,400
Speaker 1: call him back, call him back on the show, like reunite,

1083
00:56:17,440 --> 00:56:21,200
Speaker 1: like just give him a call. Hey, Like almost what

1084
00:56:21,280 --> 00:56:25,360
Speaker 1: was that show? The movie with John Cusack Fidelity? Fidelity?

1085
00:56:25,480 --> 00:56:28,319
Speaker 1: Just twenty years later, it's like, hey, I know I

1086
00:56:28,360 --> 00:56:30,279
Speaker 1: wasn't right and I was in the wrong, and I

1087
00:56:30,280 --> 00:56:34,120
Speaker 1: mean Chef was not a popular character among basically every

1088
00:56:34,160 --> 00:56:38,000
Speaker 1: staff member there. And uh, I would imagine he has

1089
00:56:38,000 --> 00:56:39,960
Speaker 1: a side of this story though, that we would like

1090
00:56:40,040 --> 00:56:43,520
Speaker 1: to hear. Ricky, can we track down. Yeah, look at

1091
00:56:43,560 --> 00:56:45,480
Speaker 1: the fact that you went there to drink, Well, that

1092
00:56:45,600 --> 00:56:49,520
Speaker 1: was ridiculous. That was stupid. I was also like underage,

1093
00:56:49,600 --> 00:56:53,520
Speaker 1: Like there's a whole lot of breaking laws laws also,

1094
00:56:53,840 --> 00:56:56,399
Speaker 1: and also you can lose your liquor license if if

1095
00:56:56,400 --> 00:56:59,840
Speaker 1: you serve underage. So that would have destroyed Chepy's but

1096
00:57:00,920 --> 00:57:04,080
Speaker 1: he didn't own it. But yes, so why are their

1097
00:57:04,120 --> 00:57:06,000
Speaker 1: caveats to what to whether that would have been a

1098
00:57:06,040 --> 00:57:11,760
Speaker 1: good idea or good for chee? Thursday Night Football, Good sage, Ricky,

1099
00:57:12,520 --> 00:57:16,520
Speaker 1: Thanks that was fund Are you happy were your hot

1100
00:57:16,520 --> 00:57:19,080
Speaker 1: butt rankings then? And is it sort of giving you

1101
00:57:19,080 --> 00:57:22,240
Speaker 1: a little bit of insight to what? Yeah? No, I think, Um,

1102
00:57:22,280 --> 00:57:25,440
Speaker 1: it's I think it's a reminder of what makes following

1103
00:57:26,160 --> 00:57:28,880
Speaker 1: sports so fun. Things changed? Do you think you know everything?

1104
00:57:29,360 --> 00:57:33,400
Speaker 1: And then a lot changes? All right, let's get to it.

1105
00:57:33,720 --> 00:57:38,840
Speaker 1: Thursday Night Football. The Cleveland Browns at home against the Steelers,

1106
00:57:39,920 --> 00:57:44,320
Speaker 1: their last meeting, the first meeting this season and their

1107
00:57:44,360 --> 00:57:47,000
Speaker 1: first meeting and over a year. Uh, they played both

1108
00:57:47,040 --> 00:57:50,560
Speaker 1: their games early last year. So here are the Browns

1109
00:57:50,560 --> 00:57:54,160
Speaker 1: at three and six. They got the w against the Bills.

1110
00:57:54,240 --> 00:57:58,440
Speaker 1: Mark Um watched that game yesterday. Not not a not

1111
00:57:58,840 --> 00:58:00,880
Speaker 1: and you kind of alluded to the US on Sunday Show.

1112
00:58:01,200 --> 00:58:03,640
Speaker 1: Not like a knock your socks offer for and rounds

1113
00:58:03,640 --> 00:58:05,560
Speaker 1: that makes you think they're ready to go on a surge,

1114
00:58:06,240 --> 00:58:10,280
Speaker 1: and yet with the Steelers coming in, Uh, it's all there.

1115
00:58:10,320 --> 00:58:12,240
Speaker 1: The table is set for the Browns to get themselves

1116
00:58:12,280 --> 00:58:15,560
Speaker 1: back into the playoff race. Stewart die, Yes, it is.

1117
00:58:15,600 --> 00:58:17,200
Speaker 1: I mean I think every week we talked about it.

1118
00:58:17,240 --> 00:58:20,640
Speaker 1: Every Browns game from here on out is that way,

1119
00:58:20,640 --> 00:58:23,200
Speaker 1: and I it's a big challenge. I get that. I

1120
00:58:23,200 --> 00:58:26,800
Speaker 1: get that Pittsburgh's offense is, you know, probably mired in

1121
00:58:26,880 --> 00:58:28,840
Speaker 1: what will be a season long slump at this point

1122
00:58:28,840 --> 00:58:31,080
Speaker 1: based on what's happened to the personnel, But it sounds

1123
00:58:31,120 --> 00:58:34,800
Speaker 1: like they might get James connerback. That's TBD at this point,

1124
00:58:34,840 --> 00:58:37,160
Speaker 1: but that would be that would help because their running

1125
00:58:37,160 --> 00:58:40,560
Speaker 1: game has been an absolute mess. The one the other

1126
00:58:40,600 --> 00:58:43,000
Speaker 1: sides who everyone wants to talk about. The Browns offense

1127
00:58:43,120 --> 00:58:47,120
Speaker 1: over and over in their defense has been acceptable, uh

1128
00:58:47,160 --> 00:58:50,080
Speaker 1: for stretches. But one thing that bugs me about them,

1129
00:58:50,080 --> 00:58:52,280
Speaker 1: because I felt like that Bills game could have used

1130
00:58:52,280 --> 00:58:54,160
Speaker 1: and I think the Steelers game could use it too,

1131
00:58:55,160 --> 00:58:57,800
Speaker 1: is something like we saw last night, like a home

1132
00:58:58,480 --> 00:59:01,320
Speaker 1: town pick six that flips the game on its butt

1133
00:59:01,440 --> 00:59:04,000
Speaker 1: and puts the Steelers into a hole versus setting their

1134
00:59:04,000 --> 00:59:06,800
Speaker 1: pass rush up all night long. And the Browns have

1135
00:59:08,280 --> 00:59:12,560
Speaker 1: seven eight turnovers on the entire year and two since

1136
00:59:12,600 --> 00:59:15,360
Speaker 1: Week four. They have not were last year. They were

1137
00:59:15,360 --> 00:59:17,720
Speaker 1: not a good football team, but they were a turnover

1138
00:59:17,760 --> 00:59:20,600
Speaker 1: machine under Greg Williams and it helped them in spots

1139
00:59:20,640 --> 00:59:23,120
Speaker 1: and it certainly helped their offense. And they have gotten

1140
00:59:23,160 --> 00:59:26,720
Speaker 1: two turnovers since Week four. Is not done a lot

1141
00:59:26,920 --> 00:59:31,800
Speaker 1: for a Baker Mayfield attack that outside of getting Kareem

1142
00:59:31,840 --> 00:59:33,560
Speaker 1: Hunt back at this point, I thought that he made

1143
00:59:33,560 --> 00:59:35,280
Speaker 1: a big difference in that last game. And I'm kind

1144
00:59:35,280 --> 00:59:37,960
Speaker 1: of excited to see what they do with Nick Chubb

1145
00:59:38,040 --> 00:59:41,280
Speaker 1: and cream Hunt together because I expected very little with

1146
00:59:41,320 --> 00:59:43,960
Speaker 1: the way that they've found a way to not maximize

1147
00:59:44,000 --> 00:59:46,240
Speaker 1: all their weapons. So there's a lot of questions for

1148
00:59:46,240 --> 00:59:48,840
Speaker 1: the Browns going into this and if they are suddenly

1149
00:59:48,880 --> 00:59:51,959
Speaker 1: down twenty three and Baker Mayfield has been sacked six

1150
00:59:52,040 --> 00:59:54,560
Speaker 1: times and they're talking about all the same stuff we've

1151
00:59:54,560 --> 00:59:57,960
Speaker 1: heard in every Browns game all year, lights out. Yeah,

1152
00:59:58,000 --> 01:00:00,880
Speaker 1: if you're the Browns without a offensive line, I think

1153
01:00:00,880 --> 01:00:02,800
Speaker 1: the Steelers front seven might be the last one you

1154
01:00:02,840 --> 01:00:05,600
Speaker 1: want to face right now. And the Steelers the next

1155
01:00:05,640 --> 01:00:08,960
Speaker 1: three weeks they have Brown's Bengals Browns, they could be

1156
01:00:09,000 --> 01:00:13,640
Speaker 1: marching through Ohio like like Sherman marching to Wow. Uh

1157
01:00:13,720 --> 01:00:17,720
Speaker 1: yeah that the Browns tackles, especially trying to stop I

1158
01:00:17,760 --> 01:00:20,040
Speaker 1: think the Browns, I mean, like last week Baker Mayfield

1159
01:00:20,040 --> 01:00:23,200
Speaker 1: had great protection overall, and I think he's been okay

1160
01:00:23,320 --> 01:00:25,720
Speaker 1: most weeks, but yeah, matching up against t J. Watt

1161
01:00:25,760 --> 01:00:30,400
Speaker 1: and Duprie, especially on the right, is gonna be big

1162
01:00:30,400 --> 01:00:32,600
Speaker 1: time trouble. They played Chub and Hunt together. I think

1163
01:00:32,600 --> 01:00:35,440
Speaker 1: you're right pointing that out. At what they did, thirty

1164
01:00:35,480 --> 01:00:37,520
Speaker 1: eight snaps for Hunting, fifty six for Chub out of

1165
01:00:37,560 --> 01:00:39,080
Speaker 1: sixty nine, so that means they were on the field

1166
01:00:39,120 --> 01:00:43,280
Speaker 1: for thirty snaps together, which you just do not see

1167
01:00:43,280 --> 01:00:45,560
Speaker 1: in the NFL. And and Hunt did add a lot

1168
01:00:45,560 --> 01:00:47,680
Speaker 1: of jews. That's it was a great point to make

1169
01:00:47,720 --> 01:00:50,320
Speaker 1: about the defense mark because remember that it was kind

1170
01:00:50,320 --> 01:00:52,880
Speaker 1: of like the hipster take of like, hey, their offense

1171
01:00:53,000 --> 01:00:55,640
Speaker 1: is gonna be great, uh, you know this year, But

1172
01:00:55,720 --> 01:00:58,000
Speaker 1: what could really dominate maybe the best group on that

1173
01:00:58,000 --> 01:01:00,000
Speaker 1: team is that defensive line. That could be the best

1174
01:01:00,120 --> 01:01:02,200
Speaker 1: defensive line the league. Maybe I even said that, you know,

1175
01:01:02,840 --> 01:01:04,880
Speaker 1: I don't even know hopefully not in that annoying voice.

1176
01:01:05,640 --> 01:01:08,520
Speaker 1: But they haven't. They haven't taken over at all. Ogan

1177
01:01:08,600 --> 01:01:11,320
Speaker 1: job has been pretty quiet. Vernon has been hurt and

1178
01:01:11,480 --> 01:01:16,440
Speaker 1: has been pretty quiet. I guess he haven't. Have you

1179
01:01:16,440 --> 01:01:19,120
Speaker 1: watched their defensive line and thought, Okay, this this team

1180
01:01:19,160 --> 01:01:21,960
Speaker 1: is taken over like like Garrett and against good teams

1181
01:01:22,400 --> 01:01:26,480
Speaker 1: Garrett and Vernon against Denver, yes, but against like real teams.

1182
01:01:26,520 --> 01:01:28,720
Speaker 1: I think you are selling that to some short That's fair.

1183
01:01:28,760 --> 01:01:31,360
Speaker 1: Garrett's been great, Garrett's piling up sacks. But I guess

1184
01:01:31,360 --> 01:01:35,520
Speaker 1: what I'm missing this year is the one stable of

1185
01:01:35,680 --> 01:01:38,400
Speaker 1: better Brown's teams is you know, it gets cold now

1186
01:01:38,800 --> 01:01:42,520
Speaker 1: and you can put teams to bed with turnovers, with interceptions,

1187
01:01:42,520 --> 01:01:44,520
Speaker 1: and they have a good secondary. It's pretty deep. They've

1188
01:01:44,520 --> 01:01:46,720
Speaker 1: been injured up and down. But I don't know, I

1189
01:01:46,720 --> 01:01:49,320
Speaker 1: could steep. I just see Pittsburgh hanging around, if not

1190
01:01:49,720 --> 01:01:51,920
Speaker 1: outright taking this thing. Oh yeah, they mean the way

1191
01:01:51,920 --> 01:01:55,440
Speaker 1: they're defense, their defense is clearly the best group in

1192
01:01:55,480 --> 01:01:59,480
Speaker 1: this game. I don't know at this point. Yeah, Dan,

1193
01:01:59,600 --> 01:02:01,520
Speaker 1: do you want Maybe I'll throw this out there. I

1194
01:02:01,560 --> 01:02:04,840
Speaker 1: did think Mason Rudolph played his best game of the

1195
01:02:04,880 --> 01:02:07,200
Speaker 1: season last week, which is maybe damning with fame praise,

1196
01:02:07,200 --> 01:02:09,000
Speaker 1: but I think he's probably played his best two games

1197
01:02:09,440 --> 01:02:12,640
Speaker 1: in a row, incremental improving. Dan. I don't know if

1198
01:02:12,680 --> 01:02:15,840
Speaker 1: you wanted to throw out the question you did to

1199
01:02:15,960 --> 01:02:20,320
Speaker 1: us downstairs about West and and Mason Rudolph, or is

1200
01:02:20,360 --> 01:02:23,479
Speaker 1: that not for public? I mean, now that you brought

1201
01:02:23,480 --> 01:02:25,920
Speaker 1: it up, I guess I should do it if West,

1202
01:02:26,400 --> 01:02:29,320
Speaker 1: because we know West's problems with Mason Rudolph, and on

1203
01:02:29,480 --> 01:02:33,160
Speaker 1: last Thursday's podcast, West said he was gonna, you know,

1204
01:02:33,200 --> 01:02:35,960
Speaker 1: have an open mind, and then on Sunday show you

1205
01:02:36,000 --> 01:02:39,520
Speaker 1: were even angrier with a young man over his play.

1206
01:02:40,120 --> 01:02:42,240
Speaker 1: I I just threw out the idea if West would

1207
01:02:42,240 --> 01:02:46,400
Speaker 1: were to travel to Pittsburgh and do harm to Mason Rudolph,

1208
01:02:46,680 --> 01:02:51,640
Speaker 1: how would Mark and Greg approach the support of West,

1209
01:02:51,680 --> 01:02:55,480
Speaker 1: both internally, privately and then in public on the podcast.

1210
01:02:56,440 --> 01:02:59,160
Speaker 1: Well you didn't just say harm, Well, I it was

1211
01:02:59,240 --> 01:03:02,919
Speaker 1: a lent yeah, life ending harm, violent act, no life

1212
01:03:03,000 --> 01:03:06,720
Speaker 1: damaging in the hospital. I said that number one. I'd

1213
01:03:06,720 --> 01:03:09,840
Speaker 1: take that um that public stance of we need all

1214
01:03:09,880 --> 01:03:12,680
Speaker 1: the facts, we need the information we need to know.

1215
01:03:12,720 --> 01:03:15,120
Speaker 1: I'm not going to take a side here until the

1216
01:03:15,200 --> 01:03:18,960
Speaker 1: case is clear to us. But I also think that people. Uh,

1217
01:03:19,000 --> 01:03:22,280
Speaker 1: you know, it's it's easy to be judge, and it's

1218
01:03:22,280 --> 01:03:24,360
Speaker 1: easy just to look at what someone does and say,

1219
01:03:24,440 --> 01:03:27,200
Speaker 1: well cased clothes, they're a good or bad person. West

1220
01:03:27,280 --> 01:03:30,760
Speaker 1: is a very multilayered individual, as all people are. But West,

1221
01:03:30,840 --> 01:03:32,640
Speaker 1: you know, you can see if you just hang out

1222
01:03:32,680 --> 01:03:34,800
Speaker 1: there for a couple of hours, the many layers. I

1223
01:03:34,840 --> 01:03:38,600
Speaker 1: am not gonna jump ship on West's friendship based on

1224
01:03:39,760 --> 01:03:42,400
Speaker 1: you got that layer of velvet on right now, look

1225
01:03:42,400 --> 01:03:45,320
Speaker 1: at that repute. Oh yeah, I'm sticking by him. I'm

1226
01:03:45,320 --> 01:03:48,320
Speaker 1: gonna I'm gonna have the research team or maybe our

1227
01:03:48,400 --> 01:03:51,479
Speaker 1: video department make just like a reel of third down

1228
01:03:51,520 --> 01:03:54,040
Speaker 1: throws by Mason Rudolph, just as a support, you know,

1229
01:03:54,280 --> 01:03:57,600
Speaker 1: say hey, what's this before you get before you come

1230
01:03:57,600 --> 01:04:01,960
Speaker 1: to a judgment, Let's watch these third eleven checkdowns. Privately,

1231
01:04:02,160 --> 01:04:05,520
Speaker 1: I would uh support West to the to the extent

1232
01:04:05,640 --> 01:04:08,520
Speaker 1: that I had helped find him the best lawyer money

1233
01:04:08,560 --> 01:04:11,120
Speaker 1: could buy. This guy's dirty. He'll dig up all this stuff.

1234
01:04:11,280 --> 01:04:13,600
Speaker 1: You need to find somebody gonna pay for it. I'm

1235
01:04:13,640 --> 01:04:15,760
Speaker 1: gonna help and we'll do a go fund me. We'll

1236
01:04:15,800 --> 01:04:17,880
Speaker 1: do that again. We'll get it all going and we'll

1237
01:04:17,880 --> 01:04:20,560
Speaker 1: make sure West gets probation Max and we don't he

1238
01:04:20,600 --> 01:04:25,080
Speaker 1: misses very few shows. And then publicly I'd keep my distance.

1239
01:04:26,880 --> 01:04:31,400
Speaker 1: It's just it would just be so toxic that I

1240
01:04:31,440 --> 01:04:34,360
Speaker 1: feel like I would you have a wife, and I

1241
01:04:34,360 --> 01:04:37,480
Speaker 1: would reserve it. I would say no comment publicly and

1242
01:04:37,520 --> 01:04:39,919
Speaker 1: just say it's a difficult situation for everybody right now,

1243
01:04:40,080 --> 01:04:43,200
Speaker 1: and I'd rather not say anything. But and then I'd

1244
01:04:43,200 --> 01:04:45,560
Speaker 1: be working behind the scenes with you. This is this

1245
01:04:45,640 --> 01:04:49,000
Speaker 1: is a fascinating topic, one which is you know, holy

1246
01:04:49,840 --> 01:04:53,680
Speaker 1: unreasonable and would never happen. First of all, first of all,

1247
01:04:53,920 --> 01:04:55,760
Speaker 1: I'd be more likely to slip him some h G

1248
01:04:56,000 --> 01:04:59,200
Speaker 1: H than to harm him. Let's let's let's get a

1249
01:04:59,200 --> 01:05:04,160
Speaker 1: better version of that makes you a better quarterback, of course, okay,

1250
01:05:04,320 --> 01:05:08,320
Speaker 1: I mean especially when you're asking out, when your tendency

1251
01:05:08,400 --> 01:05:11,480
Speaker 1: is to back into or away from pressure, anytime you're

1252
01:05:11,480 --> 01:05:15,120
Speaker 1: about to throw H G H might help. Um. I

1253
01:05:15,160 --> 01:05:17,520
Speaker 1: liked this team and I enjoy watching them. So I

1254
01:05:17,600 --> 01:05:21,320
Speaker 1: want to see an improved Mason Rudolph, which you may

1255
01:05:21,360 --> 01:05:24,000
Speaker 1: say he's been I I don't think he's improved a

1256
01:05:24,040 --> 01:05:26,640
Speaker 1: little bit. I can can I just say I thought

1257
01:05:26,640 --> 01:05:28,920
Speaker 1: maybe you were looking at my screen that while you

1258
01:05:28,920 --> 01:05:31,280
Speaker 1: guys were initially talking about this, I did one of

1259
01:05:31,280 --> 01:05:34,920
Speaker 1: those A B tests and looked at the first six

1260
01:05:34,960 --> 01:05:37,680
Speaker 1: games for Mason Rudolph in the first six games for

1261
01:05:37,760 --> 01:05:41,480
Speaker 1: Gardner Minshew, and they're statistically is not a big difference

1262
01:05:41,480 --> 01:05:44,960
Speaker 1: other than some downfield passing. That is that is damning

1263
01:05:45,080 --> 01:05:49,840
Speaker 1: of football statistics. That is incredibly damn I'm here, I'm

1264
01:05:49,840 --> 01:05:53,280
Speaker 1: out here saying that the A B test he doesn't like.

1265
01:05:53,400 --> 01:05:55,240
Speaker 1: I don't know why you need to go after the Minshew.

1266
01:05:55,600 --> 01:05:58,640
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, no, it's not a shot. He's not

1267
01:05:58,680 --> 01:06:03,440
Speaker 1: as bad as people, or certain persons, felonious persons perhaps

1268
01:06:03,520 --> 01:06:05,880
Speaker 1: are penning him out to Bay. If you watch Minshew

1269
01:06:05,920 --> 01:06:09,000
Speaker 1: real quick, I get hope watching Minshew, and he's exciting.

1270
01:06:09,040 --> 01:06:11,760
Speaker 1: I don't feel the way about I think you using

1271
01:06:11,840 --> 01:06:14,960
Speaker 1: stats to try to compare Mason Rudolph the Gardner Minshew

1272
01:06:14,960 --> 01:06:21,439
Speaker 1: says more about you than it does masonber Rudolph. There's

1273
01:06:21,480 --> 01:06:25,080
Speaker 1: different numbers, though, and he's the advanced matrics. He certainly

1274
01:06:25,080 --> 01:06:28,240
Speaker 1: struggles PFF, which is more just you know grading him.

1275
01:06:28,280 --> 01:06:31,160
Speaker 1: He's a bottom you know five quarterback, and Minshew is

1276
01:06:31,240 --> 01:06:35,240
Speaker 1: right around average for starters they are not even between there.

1277
01:06:35,360 --> 01:06:37,600
Speaker 1: They should not even be mentioned in the same breath together.

1278
01:06:37,800 --> 01:06:43,120
Speaker 1: I know because Gardner Minshu's Steve Young. I keep forgetting this.

1279
01:06:43,120 --> 01:06:45,320
Speaker 1: This guy sits on the bench on Sunday. What I

1280
01:06:45,360 --> 01:06:47,480
Speaker 1: love is that there are crowd If there are multi

1281
01:06:47,560 --> 01:06:52,080
Speaker 1: agendas happening here, this is absurdain. I mean, can we

1282
01:06:52,160 --> 01:06:54,960
Speaker 1: calm down a little bit with the Gardner Minshew hero worship?

1283
01:06:55,920 --> 01:06:57,800
Speaker 1: Did you ask what he's going to say about him?

1284
01:06:57,800 --> 01:07:00,000
Speaker 1: He didn't play well. He did play with played really well.

1285
01:07:00,160 --> 01:07:03,040
Speaker 1: It was fine. And you know what, Mason Rudolph is

1286
01:07:03,520 --> 01:07:08,480
Speaker 1: okay so far, not great, not the worst I think

1287
01:07:08,480 --> 01:07:11,240
Speaker 1: he's been. He's been a pretty big detriment when you

1288
01:07:11,280 --> 01:07:14,720
Speaker 1: score eight points, you know, for your office. Like he's

1289
01:07:14,720 --> 01:07:16,560
Speaker 1: been a party big detriment. I do think he's made

1290
01:07:16,600 --> 01:07:20,400
Speaker 1: some improvements as though, not seeming as frenetic and going

1291
01:07:20,600 --> 01:07:24,040
Speaker 1: downfield and going through his reads a little bit and

1292
01:07:24,120 --> 01:07:26,600
Speaker 1: not making big mistakes against the Rams, it was a

1293
01:07:26,640 --> 01:07:28,440
Speaker 1: little better. I think it was. It wasn't as tough

1294
01:07:28,480 --> 01:07:34,000
Speaker 1: to watch progress. All right, there you go, do you

1295
01:07:34,000 --> 01:07:36,720
Speaker 1: you're locking the swea up mark? No. I feel like

1296
01:07:36,760 --> 01:07:41,160
Speaker 1: I escaped West and I both escaped narrow issues there

1297
01:07:41,200 --> 01:07:43,320
Speaker 1: with the last Brown's luck. Are you guys gonna stay

1298
01:07:43,320 --> 01:07:46,280
Speaker 1: in lock step? I like that lock step? Where are

1299
01:07:46,280 --> 01:07:49,240
Speaker 1: you gonna watch it? Well, we're two and one, share three.

1300
01:07:49,360 --> 01:07:51,280
Speaker 1: We're two and one at this point in my in

1301
01:07:51,360 --> 01:07:54,160
Speaker 1: lock step. And you know, Mark was very nice. It

1302
01:07:54,200 --> 01:07:56,240
Speaker 1: was a very generous thing he did while I was

1303
01:07:56,360 --> 01:07:58,240
Speaker 1: you know, my wings were clipped and I couldn't fly

1304
01:07:58,280 --> 01:08:00,640
Speaker 1: out of the nest. He fed me and he kept

1305
01:08:00,640 --> 01:08:02,680
Speaker 1: me alive for a while. It might be time for

1306
01:08:02,680 --> 01:08:04,120
Speaker 1: me to fly out of that nest on my own.

1307
01:08:04,240 --> 01:08:06,320
Speaker 1: I mean, I also led you to a hideous loss

1308
01:08:06,360 --> 01:08:10,240
Speaker 1: two weeks ago, so learned about feeding you. But um,

1309
01:08:10,360 --> 01:08:14,920
Speaker 1: all right. We will be back on Thursday with two shows.

1310
01:08:15,040 --> 01:08:18,759
Speaker 1: We have the preview of week eleven all the Sunday

1311
01:08:18,800 --> 01:08:24,520
Speaker 1: and Monday game uh games. Also we will recap Browns

1312
01:08:24,560 --> 01:08:27,800
Speaker 1: and Steelers late Thursday night. Who's got Who's on that game?

1313
01:08:27,840 --> 01:08:30,360
Speaker 1: Who's doing that game? It's it's gonna be West and Greg. Mark,

1314
01:08:30,400 --> 01:08:33,479
Speaker 1: you doing that game too, I offered to if you could, Well,

1315
01:08:33,600 --> 01:08:35,720
Speaker 1: maybe you can't do it with the technology we're dealing with,

1316
01:08:35,760 --> 01:08:37,639
Speaker 1: but I could call in or something. But I don't

1317
01:08:37,640 --> 01:08:39,720
Speaker 1: need to. I mean it's it's rare that you get

1318
01:08:39,760 --> 01:08:43,160
Speaker 1: to watch your team as a fan, so I wouldn't

1319
01:08:43,280 --> 01:08:46,200
Speaker 1: you know. Either way, we'll survive. I gotta get the dongle.

1320
01:08:46,680 --> 01:08:48,880
Speaker 1: Gotta get that dongle. Oh, I got your dole, I

1321
01:08:48,880 --> 01:08:52,120
Speaker 1: got I go for you right here, all right, people

1322
01:08:52,120 --> 01:08:55,240
Speaker 1: know what that means. Let's go no, and there will

1323
01:08:55,280 --> 01:08:59,680
Speaker 1: be no further explanations. Stan had to signing out four
