1
00:00:01,360 --> 00:00:17,960
Speaker 1: The volume. Okay, we just had a little playoff football.

2
00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:23,800
Speaker 1: One Harball brother is going home, the other is headed

3
00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:26,920
Speaker 1: to the second round where he's getting used to playing

4
00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:29,800
Speaker 1: a lot, and his team looks really, really good. The

5
00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:36,360
Speaker 1: Houston Texans take destroy work the Chargers as Justin Herbert

6
00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:39,920
Speaker 1: just throws interception after interception, and a game that I

7
00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:43,360
Speaker 1: think we all saw coming, the Baltimore Ravens beat the

8
00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:47,160
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh Steelers twenty eight to fourteen. But I promise you

9
00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:50,520
Speaker 1: it feels much worse than that. So we'll dive into

10
00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:53,320
Speaker 1: that game off the top. We will discuss a little

11
00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:55,960
Speaker 1: bit because everyone's like, middle Colf, what are you gonna

12
00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:59,640
Speaker 1: do defend Jim Harbaugh and Justin Herbert. So we'll talk

13
00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:02,520
Speaker 1: about it, guys. I bet on the Houston Texans, but

14
00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:08,320
Speaker 1: also reports that all signs lead to Mike Vrabel being

15
00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:11,440
Speaker 1: the next head coach of the New England Patriots, something

16
00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:14,280
Speaker 1: that I think we all saw coming the moment Robert

17
00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:18,280
Speaker 1: Kraft told Jirodmeo to clean out of shit. So we'll

18
00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:22,280
Speaker 1: talk about that as well. But uh yeah, I think

19
00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:25,480
Speaker 1: we need to start with with the loser in the

20
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:28,840
Speaker 1: night game. And you hear this saying a lot, because

21
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:30,520
Speaker 1: a lot of people use it to make a point,

22
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:34,120
Speaker 1: and I think, listen, it's usually used pretty well. And

23
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:37,520
Speaker 1: the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over

24
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:41,039
Speaker 1: and over and expecting a different result. Like we have

25
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:46,120
Speaker 1: seen now going on almost a decade, Mike Tomlin, even

26
00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:49,680
Speaker 1: if his quarterback situation is not great, is never gonna

27
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:52,400
Speaker 1: bottom out. They're never gonna have a season where they

28
00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:55,240
Speaker 1: win two, three, four games. They're not gonna look like

29
00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:57,880
Speaker 1: the Titans. They're not gonna look like the Jacks. This

30
00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:02,640
Speaker 1: is also a historic America Can sports franchise that hung

31
00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:06,440
Speaker 1: their hat for a long time on not only winning championships,

32
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 1: but like legitimately competing for them. And early on in

33
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:14,760
Speaker 1: Mike Tomman's career he did that he no longer does.

34
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:19,400
Speaker 1: Last year he has played the second tier. The first

35
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:22,080
Speaker 1: tier of the AFC is one team by themselves, the Chiefs.

36
00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:25,280
Speaker 1: They're clearly in a different universe than the Pittsburgh Steelers.

37
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:28,320
Speaker 1: Then there's a second tier and it includes two teams

38
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:31,000
Speaker 1: who are you know, I expect the Bills to win

39
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:33,440
Speaker 1: tomorrow and you're going to see a great playoff game

40
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:36,679
Speaker 1: between the Bills and the Ravens. Two teams that are

41
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:39,040
Speaker 1: pretty damn good, that have Hall of Fame quarterbacks, that

42
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:41,760
Speaker 1: are just trying to beat the Chiefs. They lost last

43
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:44,760
Speaker 1: year by fourteen points to the Buffalo Bills, and they

44
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:48,480
Speaker 1: just lost tonight by fourteen points. Both games, they never

45
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:51,200
Speaker 1: had a chance to win tonight. They definitely did not.

46
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:55,480
Speaker 1: And I've been saying over and over like saying Mike

47
00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:58,560
Speaker 1: Tomlin and the Pittsburgh Steelers should break up is not

48
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:03,799
Speaker 1: some indictment on either. It's just time it's ran its course,

49
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:06,760
Speaker 1: because anyone that wants to defend him, it's like, well,

50
00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:09,959
Speaker 1: what about their quarterback situation, I didn't know the quarterback

51
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:14,519
Speaker 1: played defense. The Baltimore Ravens ran the ball fifty times

52
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:19,480
Speaker 1: the night. They ran for three hundred yards, and the

53
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:21,960
Speaker 1: longest run of the night was forty four yards. So

54
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:25,600
Speaker 1: even if you removed that that one rush, it's not

55
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:28,080
Speaker 1: like Lamar had a seventy yard run and Derek Henry

56
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:30,320
Speaker 1: had a sixty five yard run. They had a forty

57
00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:33,680
Speaker 1: four yard run. Subtrack that the longest run was twenty

58
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:39,160
Speaker 1: yards for Lamar. They were gashing this team. Like. Part

59
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:42,080
Speaker 1: of their success early on the season was a great defense,

60
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:45,680
Speaker 1: was a physical defense. Alt Michaels and Kirk kurve Street rightfully.

61
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:49,080
Speaker 1: So was like calling out their effort and heart. This

62
00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:54,040
Speaker 1: is their bitter rivalry. This once upon a time hashtag

63
00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:57,240
Speaker 1: never forget or I'm old enough to remember when this

64
00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:01,400
Speaker 1: is the best rivalry in all of sports. Kyle the

65
00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:05,840
Speaker 1: pros any sport, football, baseball, basketball, This was that it

66
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:09,119
Speaker 1: no longer is. This is one sided and I don't

67
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:11,360
Speaker 1: care about the regular season they play in the playoffs.

68
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:13,480
Speaker 1: I'm taking the Ravens, and I'm taking the Ravens big.

69
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:17,680
Speaker 1: They were basically a ten point favorite coming into this game,

70
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:21,200
Speaker 1: and no one thought like taking the Pittsburgh Steelers was

71
00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:23,880
Speaker 1: a good idea, because clearly it was not a good idea.

72
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:26,800
Speaker 1: They were down twenty one to nothing at halftime, just

73
00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:31,520
Speaker 1: getting clowned, getting gashed. Obviously, the Ravens are really good

74
00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:34,040
Speaker 1: on offense. It's one thing to give up some touchdowns.

75
00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:36,039
Speaker 1: It's another thing for them to not look like they're

76
00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:39,320
Speaker 1: even breaking a sweat. You never had a shot, and

77
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:42,080
Speaker 1: that's the thing. Mike Tomlin like, Okay, your offense is

78
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:44,480
Speaker 1: gonna have some issues. I get it. Your quarterback has

79
00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:47,600
Speaker 1: a washed Russell Wilson and a runner in justin fields

80
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:51,080
Speaker 1: that you refuse to play. Okay, what about your defense?

81
00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:54,880
Speaker 1: You're a defensive guy, leader, tough guy. It's just not working.

82
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:57,159
Speaker 1: And you saw tonight like who the tough team is,

83
00:04:57,200 --> 00:05:00,080
Speaker 1: and they shoved you around, they played with you. They

84
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:02,000
Speaker 1: mess with you like a like a cat does with

85
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:05,160
Speaker 1: a mouse. And when you look at Mike Tomlin, I

86
00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:09,120
Speaker 1: don't think it's crazy, like it's time And luckily for them,

87
00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:11,520
Speaker 1: his value is still really high because look at some

88
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:14,600
Speaker 1: of these teams that need coaches. The Jags are a

89
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:18,800
Speaker 1: fucking joke. They die for Mike Tomlin. The Jets are

90
00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:23,200
Speaker 1: even a bigger joke. They've interviewed seven hundred people. They

91
00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:28,880
Speaker 1: interviewed Mike Locksley, Mike Locksley, the coach of Maryland. Like

92
00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:33,360
Speaker 1: that's what they're doing the Bears. Can you imagine how

93
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:36,440
Speaker 1: excited the Bears would be to have Mike Tomlin as

94
00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:39,400
Speaker 1: their head coach? But how many more years can you

95
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:41,280
Speaker 1: just win? Oh? We went nine to eight and then

96
00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:43,040
Speaker 1: we got curb stomped in the first round as a

97
00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:45,880
Speaker 1: seven seed, and like him, still have the same value.

98
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:48,240
Speaker 1: It's eventually going to get to a point of like

99
00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:51,800
Speaker 1: diminishing returns. So I think you have to entertain it.

100
00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:54,880
Speaker 1: And the other thing you have is a lot of stability,

101
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:59,200
Speaker 1: a historic franchise, a winning franchise, So like, why not

102
00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:02,040
Speaker 1: take a swing at I don't know, Ben Johnson, take

103
00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:05,360
Speaker 1: us link for the fences. I'm all for loyalty. I

104
00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:08,640
Speaker 1: am pro loyalty, and I think what they have stood

105
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:12,200
Speaker 1: for for decades is very commendable. But then it gets

106
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:14,160
Speaker 1: to a point like, if you're a Steeler fan, what

107
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:18,120
Speaker 1: are we doing? How can I keep watching this? I

108
00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:20,160
Speaker 1: would rather have a season where we win four or

109
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:22,520
Speaker 1: five games the bottom out to then just to have

110
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:25,480
Speaker 1: a chance to maybe to compete with the second tier

111
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:29,440
Speaker 1: of the AFC, let alone the fucking Chiefs. This is

112
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:31,880
Speaker 1: our rival. It's one thing. It's like last year you

113
00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:35,440
Speaker 1: lost the Bills, they got Josh Allen. We play you,

114
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:40,280
Speaker 1: you know, potentially once every four years, right, depending if

115
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:42,560
Speaker 1: we both win the division, which we don't do a lot,

116
00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:46,320
Speaker 1: you guys do. Maybe we play you back to back years.

117
00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:49,760
Speaker 1: But the Ravens are in a different universe than us.

118
00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:54,480
Speaker 1: This does feel a little bit like, you know, the Bengals,

119
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:57,240
Speaker 1: if they played that season ten times, they probably have

120
00:06:57,279 --> 00:07:01,280
Speaker 1: a better record than you. Eight of them and going

121
00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:04,360
Speaker 1: into next year if they just don't have a terrible offseason.

122
00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:09,800
Speaker 1: I like the Bengals more than the Steelers. You got

123
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:11,720
Speaker 1: to take advantage when the guys still has some value

124
00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:13,760
Speaker 1: instead of just writing this out, like are you guys

125
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:16,520
Speaker 1: just gonna have a staring contest forever? And I've said

126
00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:19,880
Speaker 1: over and over I understand why Mike Tomlin likes being

127
00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:23,640
Speaker 1: the head coach of the Steelers. It's probably pretty badass,

128
00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:27,360
Speaker 1: but like, do you know what has to suck this

129
00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:30,000
Speaker 1: last month of the season playing every good team in

130
00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:33,560
Speaker 1: the NFL and getting your teeth kicked in and then

131
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:38,040
Speaker 1: on Saturday night on Amazon Prime, which happens to be

132
00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:40,080
Speaker 1: one of the biggest companies in the history of the world,

133
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:44,560
Speaker 1: with millions of people watching, everyone just making fun of

134
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:47,280
Speaker 1: you at halftime, like, you guys, are you guys the

135
00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:50,040
Speaker 1: worst team in all of the playoffs? Is it? You guys?

136
00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:53,160
Speaker 1: Are you guys the worst team in terms of over

137
00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:54,920
Speaker 1: the next five years? The team I would want to

138
00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:57,800
Speaker 1: be if I'm Mike Tomlin, I want out because where

139
00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:00,800
Speaker 1: are we going? What are we going to do? We

140
00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:02,760
Speaker 1: took a swing on a first round quarterback a couple

141
00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:05,800
Speaker 1: of years ago that couldn't have got worse. We tried

142
00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:08,040
Speaker 1: to do this anytime, it's like, well we got our

143
00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:11,560
Speaker 1: quarterback room. It's really cheap, probably not a great idea,

144
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:14,680
Speaker 1: or probably not an idea that's gonna have a fruitful outcome.

145
00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:18,960
Speaker 1: And honestly, tonight, like Russell hit three or four big plays,

146
00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:22,680
Speaker 1: a couple go balls in the second half, he wasn't

147
00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:26,840
Speaker 1: very good. Why because he's not that good and they

148
00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:30,400
Speaker 1: clearly think justin Field stinks and has no chance. And

149
00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:32,800
Speaker 1: maybe I would say, well, maybe it's a playoff game

150
00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:34,640
Speaker 1: against the Ravens. They were nervous. I just think I'd

151
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:36,200
Speaker 1: you watch them down the stretch. They'd never put him

152
00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:38,840
Speaker 1: in the game, and you could go, well, what if

153
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:40,360
Speaker 1: they would have started the second half of them, it

154
00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:43,600
Speaker 1: wouldn't have mattered. Let's be real. The game was over

155
00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:47,320
Speaker 1: at halftime, twenty one nothing. In the NFL against a

156
00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:50,440
Speaker 1: team like the Ravens, there's on the road you're never

157
00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:53,439
Speaker 1: gonna win. If I spot the Ravens a twenty one

158
00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:57,960
Speaker 1: nothing lead at home in a December January game, They're

159
00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:00,000
Speaker 1: gonna win ninety nine point nine percent of the time.

160
00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:02,880
Speaker 1: It's like the Rose Bowl with the Ohio State like

161
00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:04,439
Speaker 1: they had. That's the equivalent of the thirty four to

162
00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:06,160
Speaker 1: nothing in the lead in college, like the game was over.

163
00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:08,839
Speaker 1: The second half meant nothing. The only thing I was

164
00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:10,920
Speaker 1: looking for in the second half was like anyone on

165
00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:13,160
Speaker 1: the Ravens going to get injured going into next year?

166
00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:15,520
Speaker 1: And if I'm a Steeler fan, like i'd be tired

167
00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:18,439
Speaker 1: of watching this, Well, we have a coach he'd never lose. Great,

168
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:23,880
Speaker 1: You're relevant once real games start being played in January,

169
00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:27,400
Speaker 1: and I just think it's time. And these teams are

170
00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:31,079
Speaker 1: so desperate, like could you get multiple second round picks?

171
00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:33,240
Speaker 1: Could you get a future one? Could you get like

172
00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:35,800
Speaker 1: a second this year in a one next year? Maybe not?

173
00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:38,360
Speaker 1: I don't know. But the longer this goes, you definitely

174
00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:41,640
Speaker 1: will not be able to because his star will dim

175
00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:46,120
Speaker 1: and dim and dim. But luckily these teams are so desperate,

176
00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:52,120
Speaker 1: the Jets, the Jags obviously, the Bears that you are

177
00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:55,679
Speaker 1: insane if you just don't broach the conversation with him,

178
00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:57,760
Speaker 1: And if I was them, like I'd want him to

179
00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:02,319
Speaker 1: because those teams would do anything to be nine to

180
00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:05,320
Speaker 1: ten wins back to back years. That would mean a lot.

181
00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:08,360
Speaker 1: To the Chicago Bears that would be everything to the

182
00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:11,199
Speaker 1: Jets to make the playoffs a couple of years in

183
00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:14,240
Speaker 1: a row as the seventh seed. Can you imagine what

184
00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:19,000
Speaker 1: they do to have that on their resume. This is

185
00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:22,120
Speaker 1: starting to be embarrassing for the Steelers, and like if

186
00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:23,840
Speaker 1: I was the Ravens, I was like, ah, this is

187
00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:27,040
Speaker 1: It was a lot easier playing the Steelers than it

188
00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:30,679
Speaker 1: would have been playing the Ravens because their offense stinks.

189
00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:33,440
Speaker 1: It's not any good. But here's the thing, Like, their

190
00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:37,080
Speaker 1: defense isn't very good, and Dereck Henry made them look

191
00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:39,960
Speaker 1: like a middle of the road team. If the season

192
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:42,840
Speaker 1: would have started in December and gone for the next

193
00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:45,360
Speaker 1: three months, the Steelers would be like a five or

194
00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:47,680
Speaker 1: six win team because they are not very good right now.

195
00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:52,640
Speaker 1: And clearly the Ravens offense is pretty special and Lamar

196
00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:56,200
Speaker 1: is better than he's ever been. Derrick Henry to still

197
00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:58,440
Speaker 1: at this age with this wear and tear on his

198
00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:02,680
Speaker 1: tires and I listen. Obviously, the Steelers defense, I mean

199
00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:04,240
Speaker 1: the first a half didn't even look like they were trying.

200
00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:06,800
Speaker 1: But to be able to run for almost one hundred

201
00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:09,960
Speaker 1: and ninety yards in a playoff game, I think the

202
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:12,800
Speaker 1: big difference between this offense this year than it was

203
00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:15,960
Speaker 1: last year, and they you know, Herbstreet was talking about

204
00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:19,120
Speaker 1: it on the broadcast about you know, I know Lamar

205
00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:23,199
Speaker 1: won the MVP, but he's dramatically better this year. It's

206
00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:26,280
Speaker 1: not even close. And I think part of it is

207
00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:28,920
Speaker 1: one Mark Andrews had the hip drop tackle last year

208
00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:33,920
Speaker 1: and wasn't around. He's a pretty special player. Mark Andrews

209
00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:38,679
Speaker 1: is a big time dude. Like Mark Andrews, every team

210
00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:40,400
Speaker 1: in the league would want Mark Andrews on their team.

211
00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:43,200
Speaker 1: Derek Henry's one of the greatest running backs we've ever seen.

212
00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:46,000
Speaker 1: That clip today on his touchdow on his long touchdown

213
00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:50,400
Speaker 1: run where there's like four guys behind him, all kind

214
00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:53,440
Speaker 1: of coming in on him, yet like four steps later

215
00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:56,000
Speaker 1: they're all behind him and he's running into the end zone.

216
00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:59,680
Speaker 1: And I would say that type run is what defines

217
00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:01,520
Speaker 1: his career. You're like, oh, this is gonna be a sweet,

218
00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:03,720
Speaker 1: like twenty five yard run. Then all of a sudden,

219
00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:07,560
Speaker 1: it's a fifty yard touchdown run. So you add Andrew's back.

220
00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:11,800
Speaker 1: Bateman has clearly improved over the last couple of years.

221
00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:13,800
Speaker 1: Right now, he's playing the best football of his life.

222
00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:19,040
Speaker 1: You add Henry. You add Lamar's ability. When Zay Flowers

223
00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:21,360
Speaker 1: is there, who's a pro bowler who obviously he didn't

224
00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:24,880
Speaker 1: play to night, but and the connection with with Todd

225
00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:29,720
Speaker 1: Munkin and with Lamar, you know, it's pretty special because

226
00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:32,360
Speaker 1: right now this offense, I have a hard time. We'll

227
00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:35,760
Speaker 1: have to see the Bills tomorrow. Like if I was

228
00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:38,040
Speaker 1: setting the line right now, assuming the Bills and say

229
00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:40,520
Speaker 1: win by ten or fifteen points, you have to wonder

230
00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:43,240
Speaker 1: if it's going to be a pick em in Buffalo.

231
00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:47,600
Speaker 1: Because this team, their defense also whatever tweak they made,

232
00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:50,440
Speaker 1: and it's been well documented how because early in the

233
00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:53,840
Speaker 1: season Kyle Hamilton was basically playing like he was Cam Chanceller,

234
00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:56,040
Speaker 1: like he was in the box, playing like another linebacker

235
00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:59,360
Speaker 1: their secondary who was getting gashed. They moved him back

236
00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:03,040
Speaker 1: more to play centerfield. Marlin just plays the slot. He's

237
00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:07,680
Speaker 1: a pro bowler. And their defense has really been excellent.

238
00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:09,079
Speaker 1: I mean, they gave up a couple of freak big

239
00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:13,080
Speaker 1: plays tonight. Who cares didn't matter. And I just think

240
00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:16,000
Speaker 1: that this team, I think where they got to be

241
00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:19,520
Speaker 1: kicking themselves is some of the early games that they blew.

242
00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:22,800
Speaker 1: I mean that Raider game, they blew a Browns game.

243
00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:26,800
Speaker 1: If I remember correctly that this home field advantage next

244
00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:30,600
Speaker 1: week is big. I mean, it really is, and it's

245
00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:33,559
Speaker 1: gonna be I mean, we'll see what the matchups are.

246
00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:35,640
Speaker 1: I mean, it's got a chance to be the best

247
00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:38,880
Speaker 1: game of the weekend, definitely on paper. But it's hard

248
00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:43,280
Speaker 1: to see this offense now, depending regardless whether they play

249
00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:47,720
Speaker 1: Saturday or Sunday. And I'm sorry, Broncos fans, I'm just

250
00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:52,280
Speaker 1: assuming you're gonna lose. Is the Ravens do get basically

251
00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:55,560
Speaker 1: like I don't know, fifteen sixteen hour head start just

252
00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:58,199
Speaker 1: to kind of rest and get some treatment in the morning.

253
00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:03,160
Speaker 1: But what a performance by the Ravens offense. I just marvel,

254
00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:10,080
Speaker 1: Like when Lamar makes these dramatic, just badass crazy plays

255
00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:12,160
Speaker 1: where he does a three sixty, he like goes up

256
00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:14,880
Speaker 1: in the pocket, goes back, scrambles around, throws a touchdown pass.

257
00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:18,240
Speaker 1: It's incredible to watch every time, but it kind of

258
00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:22,120
Speaker 1: expected to watch Derrick Henry at his age still do

259
00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:26,840
Speaker 1: what he's doing. Is and now when he gets rolling

260
00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:28,560
Speaker 1: like he does tonight, and then you have to pick

261
00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:32,280
Speaker 1: and choose him and Lamar on some of these some

262
00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:35,120
Speaker 1: of the schemes the Ravens run and then he keeps

263
00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:37,160
Speaker 1: it and Lamar goes for seven, or he hands it

264
00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:39,960
Speaker 1: off and Derek goes for eight. Like good for you.

265
00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:42,240
Speaker 1: I mean he averaged over seven yards of carry tonight.

266
00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:44,840
Speaker 1: You have Lamar averaging over five and you have Derek

267
00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:48,400
Speaker 1: averaging over seven. They ran the ball for fifty fifty carries.

268
00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:53,720
Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's back to the Steelers. It's one

269
00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:57,920
Speaker 1: thing to lose. It's sports. You're gonna lose games. Sometimes

270
00:14:57,920 --> 00:14:59,400
Speaker 1: you just take your hat off, you give the guy

271
00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:02,320
Speaker 1: a handshake, tip your hat and you say fuck part

272
00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:06,200
Speaker 1: the part of the world we're in. It's another thing

273
00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:09,320
Speaker 1: to have them run the ball fifty times for two

274
00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:13,080
Speaker 1: hundred and ninety nine yards. That's insane. In a playoff

275
00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:17,600
Speaker 1: game against your rival, they offered six yards of carry,

276
00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:22,880
Speaker 1: six yards a carry. Lamar only threw the ball twenty

277
00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:26,320
Speaker 1: one times. He was only sacked. What time? I And

278
00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:30,920
Speaker 1: this was what a game? And the sad part is

279
00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:33,400
Speaker 1: is this rivalry like when I I remember being in

280
00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:38,000
Speaker 1: college and then going to work for the Eagles, and

281
00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:41,040
Speaker 1: even after I got out in the mid teens into

282
00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:46,040
Speaker 1: the twenty teams, it was there just wasn't a better

283
00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:48,160
Speaker 1: game than this. It was like you didn't know who

284
00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:49,720
Speaker 1: was gonna win, but you knew a couple guys were

285
00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:51,800
Speaker 1: gonna get injured and it was just gonna be a

286
00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:55,440
Speaker 1: heavyweight fight. And now, going into this game to night,

287
00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:59,640
Speaker 1: even before the game kicked off, how many people believed

288
00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:02,840
Speaker 1: that the Psburgh Steelers had a snowballs chance? In hell?

289
00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:08,800
Speaker 1: How many people believe that of football fans, including Steeler fans,

290
00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:12,920
Speaker 1: a tiny, tiny percentage these games going in, you know,

291
00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:16,000
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh Ravens, it should be like, hey, man, anything could

292
00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:20,760
Speaker 1: happen in this matchup. This rivalry feels kind of irrelevant

293
00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:25,160
Speaker 1: because no one as long as Lamar Jackson's there is

294
00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:29,400
Speaker 1: going to give the Steelers any shot and Tomlin's defensive

295
00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:33,720
Speaker 1: leader and they just get gashed. I mean, what the

296
00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:38,880
Speaker 1: fuck was that? Man? I was tempted to go big

297
00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:40,560
Speaker 1: on the Ravens, but I was like, you know, it

298
00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:43,320
Speaker 1: feels like everyone's picking them this. Maybe the Steelers end

299
00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:47,680
Speaker 1: up losing by like seven, and no, they lose by fourteen,

300
00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:50,880
Speaker 1: and it felt more like forty. So congrats to the Steelers.

301
00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:55,600
Speaker 1: And yeah, I mean the Ravens, excuse me, and the

302
00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:59,760
Speaker 1: Steelers man. I feel for you fans because it just

303
00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:03,640
Speaker 1: it's just like spinning your wheels, same thing over and over.

331
00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:47,480
Speaker 1: The Other Game first and foremost. I picked the Texans.

332
00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:51,520
Speaker 1: People think I'm a hardball homer. I am. People think

333
00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:55,719
Speaker 1: I'm a Justin Herbert Homer. I am. Now I can

334
00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:58,720
Speaker 1: also acknowledge when I call Justin Herbert a big time

335
00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:03,440
Speaker 1: top five quarterback. I put him in the fifth slot, right.

336
00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:05,359
Speaker 1: I don't put him ahead of Mahomes, don't put him

337
00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:07,120
Speaker 1: ahead of Lamar, don't put him ahead of Josh Allen.

338
00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:09,359
Speaker 1: I don't put him ahead of Joe Burrow. But you

339
00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:11,760
Speaker 1: can start listening to other guys. I would take Justin

340
00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:15,560
Speaker 1: Herbert over him. He had an awful game. He had

341
00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:18,359
Speaker 1: a real bad game. One of the picks was off

342
00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:20,840
Speaker 1: Disley's hands, but the other ones were just air mails.

343
00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:24,760
Speaker 1: He was terrible. There's no disputing that he threw a

344
00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:26,680
Speaker 1: pick six. He threw a couple of picks and Stingley.

345
00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:31,080
Speaker 1: It was really bad. But this team and same thing

346
00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:34,000
Speaker 1: with Jim Harball. He had a bad game. We talked,

347
00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:37,760
Speaker 1: Me and Stucky talked about this. These matchups. Sometimes you

348
00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:42,000
Speaker 1: get big discrepancies in a matchup, like the coaching the

349
00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:47,120
Speaker 1: night Todd Munkin and his offense against Austin and Tomlin

350
00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:50,720
Speaker 1: on defense. That's a mismatch right now in twenty twenty five,

351
00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:54,359
Speaker 1: Demiko and Harball. Like I think Harball is one of

352
00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:57,280
Speaker 1: the best coaches in the NFL. I also think Demiko

353
00:19:57,440 --> 00:20:00,800
Speaker 1: is as well. If you had a coach dra from scratch,

354
00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:05,920
Speaker 1: Demiko would go really freaking high. So this notion coming

355
00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:08,240
Speaker 1: into the game, because the Texans hadn't looked that good

356
00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:11,560
Speaker 1: down the stretch, they were at some big disadvantage. It's

357
00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:14,800
Speaker 1: the reason when I had Stucky on we picked the Texans.

358
00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:18,720
Speaker 1: They were being undervalued in this game. But act like

359
00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:22,240
Speaker 1: the Chargers. Someone's like, you're gonna be hard on Tomlin.

360
00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:24,919
Speaker 1: Give me the same energy on harball. You mean the

361
00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:28,840
Speaker 1: team that won five games last year five games last year,

362
00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:31,200
Speaker 1: had one of the worst defenses in the league, and

363
00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:34,520
Speaker 1: at the number one scoring defense in the NFL this year. Now,

364
00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:37,080
Speaker 1: granted their schedule played out pretty well in their favor,

365
00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:39,800
Speaker 1: but still they went for five wins to the five

366
00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:42,919
Speaker 1: seed and got beat by a team who also won

367
00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:47,000
Speaker 1: a playoff game last year. And like I like CJ

368
00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:48,879
Speaker 1: Strad a lot. I view him as a top ten

369
00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:52,760
Speaker 1: quarterback who had a bad year. And today, going into

370
00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:55,320
Speaker 1: that half, at going into halftime, that final drive, he

371
00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:57,480
Speaker 1: finally made a play and then he made a couple

372
00:20:57,560 --> 00:20:59,280
Speaker 1: other plays and then they scored a touchdown. He's like,

373
00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:00,960
Speaker 1: that is a c stra we haven't seen a while.

374
00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:03,320
Speaker 1: And then the second half he was awesome. And I

375
00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:05,520
Speaker 1: saw a postgame video of Demiko in the locker room,

376
00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:08,400
Speaker 1: who was fired up for him. Rightfully, So, because CJ.

377
00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:11,240
Speaker 1: Stroud was a badass, he's at a bad year. He

378
00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:14,560
Speaker 1: was really good tonight because he's a good player. You

379
00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:16,960
Speaker 1: could have bad seasons, you could have a bad game.

380
00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:20,560
Speaker 1: Justin Herbert had an awful game. But if you're gonna

381
00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:23,520
Speaker 1: sell Charger stock right now, I will take all of it.

382
00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:27,280
Speaker 1: I've said this about the Chargers and the Broncos. This

383
00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:30,280
Speaker 1: is the shittiest version of their teams that they're gonna

384
00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:35,280
Speaker 1: be moving forward by far. The Charger's best wide receiver

385
00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:40,399
Speaker 1: is a second round slot receiver. That's their best wide receiver.

386
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:44,320
Speaker 1: They depend on JK. Dobbins to be like Walter Payton.

387
00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:49,119
Speaker 1: The Houston Texans are really good upfront on defense, and tonight,

388
00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:51,399
Speaker 1: you know, Joe all got smoked a couple times. You

389
00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:55,040
Speaker 1: know why Danelle Hunter got two years, fifty million dollars.

390
00:21:55,640 --> 00:21:58,200
Speaker 1: You know how many of those dollars were guaranteed, all

391
00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:04,480
Speaker 1: of them, every fucking penny. Why, he's a badass. That's

392
00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:06,439
Speaker 1: a pass rusher. You know there are other pass rusher

393
00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:09,320
Speaker 1: You know where he went third overall in the draft,

394
00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:12,560
Speaker 1: Will Anderson, you know where he came from, Alabama? All

395
00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:16,800
Speaker 1: American badass. Those guys gave the Chargers a lot of

396
00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:21,240
Speaker 1: issues tonight. They're good, They're really damn good. They're probably

397
00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:23,520
Speaker 1: one of the best pass rushing duos in all of

398
00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:26,840
Speaker 1: the NFL. This notion that the Chargers got their ass

399
00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:30,240
Speaker 1: kicked by like the Jaguars or the Titans to night,

400
00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:33,480
Speaker 1: like put down the crack pipe the Texans have a

401
00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:35,680
Speaker 1: lot of really good players. It's why most of us

402
00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:37,840
Speaker 1: I had money on them to be the number one

403
00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:41,440
Speaker 1: overall seed. It clearly didn't go that way, but part

404
00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:43,760
Speaker 1: of it was like, what's going on now? Their offensive

405
00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:46,880
Speaker 1: line is not great, it's not very good, and their

406
00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:49,479
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator sometimes can get out of rhythm. There were

407
00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:51,639
Speaker 1: times tonight in that first half where I was like,

408
00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:55,240
Speaker 1: Bobby Slowick, does Dimico need to send you back to PFF.

409
00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:58,440
Speaker 1: That's where he worked before Kyle Shanahan hired him, And

410
00:22:58,760 --> 00:23:00,520
Speaker 1: it was looking like, God, this guy I might head

411
00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:03,520
Speaker 1: back to PFF because his play calling could just be

412
00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:06,280
Speaker 1: pretty erratic, and maybe he'd tell you, like, listen, I

413
00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:08,119
Speaker 1: try to run the ball and it does not work.

414
00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:10,239
Speaker 1: He's kind of right now. It did toward the end

415
00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:13,120
Speaker 1: of the game. But they kicked their ass. They did

416
00:23:13,119 --> 00:23:15,080
Speaker 1: the same thing to the Browns last year. Like they

417
00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:18,639
Speaker 1: kicked their ass. They've won back to back playoff games

418
00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:21,720
Speaker 1: in the wildcard round. Like this isn't some random team.

419
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:25,200
Speaker 1: There's a team with a ton of talent. Nico Collins,

420
00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:28,680
Speaker 1: big time player, could play for my team, could play

421
00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:30,640
Speaker 1: for the Ravens, could play for the Steelers, could play

422
00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:32,960
Speaker 1: for the Chiefs, could play for the Bills, He'd start

423
00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:37,240
Speaker 1: for all the teams. He's a baller. So yeah, the

424
00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:40,720
Speaker 1: Chargers got worked. They also are a year removed from

425
00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:44,280
Speaker 1: being the laughing stock of the NFL. And Jim Harball,

426
00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:48,800
Speaker 1: like he does everywhere he goes, immediately changed them and

427
00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:51,360
Speaker 1: like trying to compare like well, him and Tomblin both

428
00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:54,480
Speaker 1: got their asking. Jim Harbaugh hadn't coached in the NFL

429
00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:58,040
Speaker 1: for eight seasons, and over the last twelve he has

430
00:23:58,080 --> 00:24:01,879
Speaker 1: more playoff victories than Mike Tomlin. If we have like

431
00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:06,160
Speaker 1: a draft from scratch, all the gms got one, Jim

432
00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:09,399
Speaker 1: Harbaugh would go in the top five. I promise you

433
00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:14,000
Speaker 1: that he might go three or four. Demiko would go

434
00:24:14,119 --> 00:24:17,320
Speaker 1: really high too. These are big time coaches, and one

435
00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:19,440
Speaker 1: of them kicked the other ones ass, especially in the

436
00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:21,880
Speaker 1: second half, and part of it was Herbert melted down.

437
00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:24,800
Speaker 1: Herbert did not play well. And if you want to

438
00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:27,119
Speaker 1: argue with me that something's missing, I had a scouting

439
00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:29,600
Speaker 1: buddy tonight text me like someone feels a little missing

440
00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:32,320
Speaker 1: from and I was like, yeah, tonight was not the

441
00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:35,440
Speaker 1: night to argue for him, but relative to the rest

442
00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:38,280
Speaker 1: of the league, you pick a couple guys that are

443
00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:41,480
Speaker 1: no brainers. You could have a lot of other players.

444
00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:45,119
Speaker 1: I'll take Justin Herbert over all of them, and listen tonight.

445
00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:50,360
Speaker 1: Not great, not good. The Texans defense is good. Derek Stingley,

446
00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:53,760
Speaker 1: as the broadcast said, he's the best corner in the

447
00:24:53,880 --> 00:24:58,399
Speaker 1: NFL right now. Dude's a baller freak show. Remember when

448
00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:00,600
Speaker 1: they picked him over Sauce Gardner and people, what are

449
00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:07,000
Speaker 1: they doing right? Pick good move Casarrio and listen. Casario

450
00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:11,760
Speaker 1: hired David Kelly and Lovey Smith head scratching, not sure

451
00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:14,960
Speaker 1: what they were doing there, but hiring Demiko Ryans Like,

452
00:25:16,119 --> 00:25:22,400
Speaker 1: that's a big time move. Tomiko's a stud. So the Texans,

453
00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:25,400
Speaker 1: I don't know. That second half feels like the best

454
00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:28,000
Speaker 1: second half they've played in a month. It's the best

455
00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:30,640
Speaker 1: football they've played for a long time. That's the best CJ.

456
00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:35,240
Speaker 1: Stroud has looked. It feels like in months. And sometimes

457
00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:36,840
Speaker 1: you just need a couple of big plays, get a

458
00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:39,840
Speaker 1: deep breath and just you know, Cgo was running around.

459
00:25:40,119 --> 00:25:41,520
Speaker 1: He just kind of put the team on his back.

460
00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:44,480
Speaker 1: And so like he's a fourth round pick. The guy

461
00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:46,800
Speaker 1: was the number two overall pick in the NFL Draft.

462
00:25:47,119 --> 00:25:50,200
Speaker 1: You know what I mean. They just say people saw

463
00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:52,560
Speaker 1: this coming. He had one of the greatest rookie season.

464
00:25:52,560 --> 00:25:54,360
Speaker 1: I think, statistically the best rookie season in the history

465
00:25:54,359 --> 00:25:56,879
Speaker 1: of the league last year. So it just disappeared on

466
00:25:56,960 --> 00:26:00,399
Speaker 1: us for a while and it came back. So congrats

467
00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:03,840
Speaker 1: to Demico Ryans can. Congrats to the Houston Texans. They're

468
00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:06,480
Speaker 1: not an easy team to play, and I know they

469
00:26:06,560 --> 00:26:09,840
Speaker 1: just beat the shit or opposite the Chiefs did to

470
00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:13,560
Speaker 1: the Texans. Like I in theory, it should be a

471
00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:16,800
Speaker 1: somewhat difficult matchup if that's the game, because they got

472
00:26:16,840 --> 00:26:20,080
Speaker 1: two really good pass rushers, right, they got two really

473
00:26:20,119 --> 00:26:23,679
Speaker 1: good pass rushers. They can just disrupt stuff against the Chiefs.

474
00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:26,879
Speaker 1: I would take the Chiefs in that game. But like

475
00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:29,639
Speaker 1: you know, we've seen this before when a team plays

476
00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:31,760
Speaker 1: another team late in the season and gets killed, and

477
00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:34,160
Speaker 1: they play again in the playoffs, and everyone just thinks

478
00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:37,040
Speaker 1: it's gonna be you know, two point zero version of that,

479
00:26:37,119 --> 00:26:40,520
Speaker 1: and then it plays out a little differently like they got.

480
00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:43,919
Speaker 1: I just think we underestimate sometimes some of these teams,

481
00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:47,040
Speaker 1: and I also think we forget too quickly, like the

482
00:26:47,119 --> 00:26:50,960
Speaker 1: Chargers didn't win eleven games two years ago, they ran

483
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:54,280
Speaker 1: Brandon Staley out of town. You know, in early December,

484
00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:58,440
Speaker 1: they won five games, They drafted fifth overall and their

485
00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:01,280
Speaker 1: fifth overall pick. Tonight, I thought had a little trouble.

486
00:27:01,840 --> 00:27:05,080
Speaker 1: I mean, welcome to the NFL. Kid, Get in the

487
00:27:05,119 --> 00:27:07,600
Speaker 1: gym this offseason. We need to be better. We want

488
00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:09,720
Speaker 1: to win some playoff games next year. We need you

489
00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:11,439
Speaker 1: to be better because that wasn't good enough, and in

490
00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:28,119
Speaker 1: the playoffs you're playing the best of the best. The

491
00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:32,080
Speaker 1: other coaching news, it was pretty clear that this was

492
00:27:32,160 --> 00:27:38,120
Speaker 1: inevitable that when the Patriots finished their season, the girod

493
00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:41,160
Speaker 1: Mail was fired before he even left the stadium that night,

494
00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:46,240
Speaker 1: and they had a press release put out what felt

495
00:27:46,280 --> 00:27:49,280
Speaker 1: like five minutes into the game, hitting double zero on

496
00:27:49,320 --> 00:27:53,480
Speaker 1: the clock. And you don't write that press release directly

497
00:27:53,520 --> 00:27:55,919
Speaker 1: after the game. To me, that press release was probably

498
00:27:55,920 --> 00:28:00,199
Speaker 1: written during the week. A ton of articles have been

499
00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:03,760
Speaker 1: written about Mayo and the failings. You could argue they

500
00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:05,720
Speaker 1: knew they were going to fire him a month ago,

501
00:28:06,600 --> 00:28:09,959
Speaker 1: and clearly the moment Mike Vrabel interviewed with the Jets

502
00:28:11,720 --> 00:28:14,919
Speaker 1: that I would say put a little gasoline on the

503
00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:20,240
Speaker 1: fire of and created some urgency in the building. But

504
00:28:20,359 --> 00:28:22,960
Speaker 1: the moment he was fired, everyone knew that they wanted

505
00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:25,600
Speaker 1: to hire Mike Frabel, and everyone knew that Mike Vrabel

506
00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:28,320
Speaker 1: wanted to go work there. Two years ago, his last

507
00:28:28,359 --> 00:28:31,399
Speaker 1: year in Tennessee, he went there on his off week

508
00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:34,840
Speaker 1: to get inducted into the Ring of Honor and become

509
00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:38,920
Speaker 1: a Patriot Hall of Famer. And his reverence for Robert

510
00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:42,720
Speaker 1: Kraft and the family and that organization is well documented.

511
00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:46,880
Speaker 1: And if you're Mike Frabel, like one thing is aged

512
00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:51,880
Speaker 1: pretty well. The Titans are kind of a joke. I

513
00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:53,800
Speaker 1: texted a buddy in the NFL. I'm like, it's kind

514
00:28:53,800 --> 00:28:57,480
Speaker 1: of crazy that ran Carthon won the power struggle with

515
00:28:57,520 --> 00:29:00,520
Speaker 1: Frabel and then got fired for a year later. He's like,

516
00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:02,720
Speaker 1: I don't know if there was necessarily a power struggle.

517
00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:05,480
Speaker 1: The owner just was tired of Rabel. And then the

518
00:29:05,560 --> 00:29:08,200
Speaker 1: owner clearly just got tired of this guy. She has

519
00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:12,320
Speaker 1: no clue what she's doing, and Mike Rabel does. But

520
00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:14,720
Speaker 1: do you know what hiring him does to the Patriots?

521
00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:17,200
Speaker 1: Like the bills are good, and the bills are going

522
00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:19,680
Speaker 1: to be good for the foreseeable future. Why they have

523
00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:22,560
Speaker 1: one of the best quarterbacks in the league, and they

524
00:29:22,560 --> 00:29:24,160
Speaker 1: have a coach that knows what they're doing, in an

525
00:29:24,320 --> 00:29:26,680
Speaker 1: organization that knows what they're doing. It's why they've won

526
00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:29,120
Speaker 1: the division five times and they'll be favored to win

527
00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:32,840
Speaker 1: it again next year. You know who should be nervous though,

528
00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:37,880
Speaker 1: right now the Miami Dolphins, who can't even get guys

529
00:29:38,200 --> 00:29:42,480
Speaker 1: to show up to meetings on time. As Mike McDaniel said,

530
00:29:43,280 --> 00:29:47,200
Speaker 1: finding people doesn't even work around here. I find people

531
00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:50,200
Speaker 1: and no one cares. We'll think who he's talking about,

532
00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:55,040
Speaker 1: because if you make nine hundred grand, you're not going

533
00:29:55,120 --> 00:29:58,000
Speaker 1: to show up to meetings late consistently. When the fines

534
00:29:58,000 --> 00:30:00,840
Speaker 1: are five ten thousand dollars, it's too big of a

535
00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:03,960
Speaker 1: percentage of your income. Plus, when you don't make that

536
00:30:04,120 --> 00:30:07,200
Speaker 1: much money, you're not on scholarship. You can get cut

537
00:30:07,280 --> 00:30:11,120
Speaker 1: at any moment. So who are guys who can afford

538
00:30:11,720 --> 00:30:16,200
Speaker 1: to get fined five ten, fifteen thousand dollars. Obviously it's

539
00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:19,280
Speaker 1: the star players. So you just have to look at

540
00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:21,200
Speaker 1: the guys making a lot of money on the team.

541
00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:24,720
Speaker 1: Obviously it's well documented the guy's probably showing up late.

542
00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:29,040
Speaker 1: The best players on the team. That team is fucked

543
00:30:29,720 --> 00:30:32,880
Speaker 1: because I've said over and over that if you respect

544
00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:37,920
Speaker 1: another human being, whether it's your father, whether it's especially

545
00:30:37,920 --> 00:30:41,080
Speaker 1: as another man man demand, whether it's my boss, whether

546
00:30:41,120 --> 00:30:44,440
Speaker 1: it's my dad, whether it's my business partner, whether it's

547
00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:48,480
Speaker 1: a potential client, you do not show up late to things.

548
00:30:49,120 --> 00:30:52,440
Speaker 1: You prioritize what you care about. It's why people don't

549
00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:56,200
Speaker 1: show up late to Andy Reid's meetings. People don't show

550
00:30:56,240 --> 00:30:59,520
Speaker 1: up late to Nick Saban's meetings, people don't show up

551
00:30:59,560 --> 00:31:04,080
Speaker 1: late to Sean mcvay's meetings. Yes, we all have an

552
00:31:04,120 --> 00:31:06,680
Speaker 1: issue where we get a flat tire or getting a

553
00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:09,960
Speaker 1: car accident on an individual basis, But when a coach

554
00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:12,880
Speaker 1: says over and over this keeps happening, there's nothing I

555
00:31:12,880 --> 00:31:15,120
Speaker 1: can do about it, that becomes a reflection on you.

556
00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:21,040
Speaker 1: We've seen the Miami Dolphins, he ain't in. The Jets,

557
00:31:21,480 --> 00:31:25,040
Speaker 1: don't have a coach, and that organization has the longest

558
00:31:25,040 --> 00:31:28,560
Speaker 1: streak of not making the playoffs in all of professional sports.

559
00:31:29,680 --> 00:31:31,800
Speaker 1: So if I was the Miami Dolphins, and if I

560
00:31:31,880 --> 00:31:34,440
Speaker 1: was the New York Jets, who have interviewed seven million

561
00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:38,400
Speaker 1: people so far, that's not ideal. So if I'm a

562
00:31:38,440 --> 00:31:41,280
Speaker 1: Dolphins fan or a Jets fan, Mike Vrabel coming in

563
00:31:41,280 --> 00:31:44,560
Speaker 1: the division is not good because the Bills already kicked

564
00:31:44,560 --> 00:31:47,440
Speaker 1: the crap out of us. Now the Patriots are gonna

565
00:31:47,440 --> 00:31:49,720
Speaker 1: have a pulse. I mean, look what he did with

566
00:31:49,760 --> 00:31:54,719
Speaker 1: the Titans with Ryan Tannehill, Derrick Henry, AJ Brown and

567
00:31:54,760 --> 00:31:59,800
Speaker 1: a lot of random dws and most importantly like Ryan Tannehill,

568
00:32:00,040 --> 00:32:03,120
Speaker 1: who at his best was like the thirteenth best quarterback

569
00:32:03,160 --> 00:32:06,440
Speaker 1: in the NFL, and they won a lot of games

570
00:32:06,440 --> 00:32:10,200
Speaker 1: with him, probably closer to like fifteen to eighteen range.

571
00:32:10,320 --> 00:32:13,200
Speaker 1: And now he has Drake May, which a lot of

572
00:32:13,240 --> 00:32:15,920
Speaker 1: unknown to me, Drake May and Caleb Williams are the

573
00:32:15,960 --> 00:32:19,200
Speaker 1: same guy. We have absolutely no clue how good they are.

574
00:32:19,720 --> 00:32:23,600
Speaker 1: But I know that Mike Rabel knows how to maximize

575
00:32:23,600 --> 00:32:27,120
Speaker 1: a guy with less talent than Drake May, and knows

576
00:32:27,120 --> 00:32:30,200
Speaker 1: how to motivate and get toughness out of his team

577
00:32:30,640 --> 00:32:33,040
Speaker 1: and get a focus group. Because you know what happens

578
00:32:33,120 --> 00:32:36,680
Speaker 1: under Mike Vrabel, Guys don't show up late. Mike Vrabel

579
00:32:36,680 --> 00:32:40,200
Speaker 1: would never complain after a season that fines didn't work.

580
00:32:40,680 --> 00:32:43,560
Speaker 1: That would never be tolerated. Why because if you play

581
00:32:43,600 --> 00:32:47,360
Speaker 1: for Mike Vrabel, you're gonna respect Mike Vrabel, as you

582
00:32:47,400 --> 00:32:49,719
Speaker 1: would any coach worth their salt who's any good at

583
00:32:49,720 --> 00:32:52,240
Speaker 1: his job, because if I don't respect you as a coach,

584
00:32:52,480 --> 00:32:55,240
Speaker 1: there's no point in keeping you. Same thing with Shane Steiken,

585
00:32:55,360 --> 00:33:01,680
Speaker 1: he said the same thing. So the AFC East, which

586
00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:06,120
Speaker 1: is going to continue to go through Buffalo, the Patriots

587
00:33:06,160 --> 00:33:08,880
Speaker 1: are gonna be good. Maybe not next year. I don't

588
00:33:08,880 --> 00:33:10,640
Speaker 1: know if it's gonna go from five to the five

589
00:33:10,720 --> 00:33:14,000
Speaker 1: seed like Jim Harbad just did, but they are going

590
00:33:14,040 --> 00:33:17,920
Speaker 1: to be a credible franchise much much faster than you think.

591
00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:21,600
Speaker 1: So Robert Kraft when he fired Rod Mail, he clearly

592
00:33:21,680 --> 00:33:24,200
Speaker 1: did it for a reason. He didn't go into this blind.

593
00:33:24,440 --> 00:33:26,440
Speaker 1: And the other story that's floating around out there right

594
00:33:26,480 --> 00:33:29,520
Speaker 1: now is that Ben Johnson and the Raiders because of

595
00:33:29,560 --> 00:33:34,240
Speaker 1: Tom Brady's involvement in this whole thing, which clearly that

596
00:33:34,320 --> 00:33:36,880
Speaker 1: is why I gave Mark Davis credit for involving Tom Brady.

597
00:33:36,920 --> 00:33:41,040
Speaker 1: He needed to add some credibility. But this also has

598
00:33:41,080 --> 00:33:43,680
Speaker 1: to be the angle of like all these owners being

599
00:33:43,720 --> 00:33:47,040
Speaker 1: weird about Tom Brady coming into their building in terms

600
00:33:47,040 --> 00:33:49,960
Speaker 1: of him working for Fox, and now it's pretty clear

601
00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:52,360
Speaker 1: that he runs the Raiders like there's just a lot

602
00:33:52,440 --> 00:33:55,520
Speaker 1: going on. I mean, there really really is. I mean

603
00:33:55,560 --> 00:33:58,840
Speaker 1: I saw one story I don't know if it probably

604
00:33:58,880 --> 00:34:01,680
Speaker 1: was not credible that that Tom told Belichick that if

605
00:34:01,680 --> 00:34:03,080
Speaker 1: he would come to the Raiders that he would come

606
00:34:03,080 --> 00:34:05,800
Speaker 1: out of retirement. And I think it's been pretty well

607
00:34:05,800 --> 00:34:09,200
Speaker 1: documented that Tom called Bill Belichick not to try to

608
00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:12,640
Speaker 1: hire Bill Belichick, but just to ask him for advice.

609
00:34:13,560 --> 00:34:16,640
Speaker 1: Like if Mark Davis goes to Tom Brady like, hey, Tom,

610
00:34:16,800 --> 00:34:18,799
Speaker 1: could you run point on this? And Tom's like, hell, yeah,

611
00:34:18,800 --> 00:34:21,600
Speaker 1: I run point on this. I'm like the fucking pseudo

612
00:34:21,640 --> 00:34:25,640
Speaker 1: owner here. I would do it. Well, Tom Brady's never

613
00:34:25,640 --> 00:34:27,600
Speaker 1: done this before, even if he knows a lot of

614
00:34:27,600 --> 00:34:30,520
Speaker 1: football and understand what to look for. If you were

615
00:34:30,560 --> 00:34:32,960
Speaker 1: Tom Brady, who would be the first person you would

616
00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:35,960
Speaker 1: call to ask for advice? What should I look for?

617
00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:38,759
Speaker 1: Who should I talk to? What are the key attributes?

618
00:34:39,080 --> 00:34:43,400
Speaker 1: He'd called Bill Belichick Like, it's put yourself in that situation.

619
00:34:43,920 --> 00:34:47,040
Speaker 1: If you had been whatever industry you were in, had

620
00:34:47,080 --> 00:34:50,560
Speaker 1: worked with one of the most accomplished individuals in the

621
00:34:50,640 --> 00:34:53,399
Speaker 1: history of that industry, and then you got put into

622
00:34:53,440 --> 00:34:56,440
Speaker 1: a position several years later, wouldn't and that guy was

623
00:34:56,480 --> 00:35:00,520
Speaker 1: still alive, still working somewhat in the business. Wouldn't you

624
00:35:00,560 --> 00:35:02,880
Speaker 1: call and pick his brain and ask him for advice.

625
00:35:03,520 --> 00:35:07,080
Speaker 1: It made a lot of sense. So I think the Raiders,

626
00:35:09,080 --> 00:35:10,960
Speaker 1: I would imagine they're trying to make a big pitch,

627
00:35:11,480 --> 00:35:14,400
Speaker 1: you know, for Ben Johnson, who And this is where

628
00:35:15,160 --> 00:35:19,960
Speaker 1: having the buye really really benefits the Lions because their

629
00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:23,000
Speaker 1: two coaches are in such high demand, Ben Johnson and

630
00:35:23,040 --> 00:35:26,520
Speaker 1: Aaron Glenn, And I saw a clip from Dan Campbell's

631
00:35:26,520 --> 00:35:28,799
Speaker 1: press conference or early in the season. They basically or

632
00:35:28,840 --> 00:35:31,279
Speaker 1: earlier in this week, and they asked them, like what

633
00:35:31,320 --> 00:35:33,319
Speaker 1: the game plan was this week, and he basically said, like,

634
00:35:33,640 --> 00:35:34,880
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take a couple of days and just go

635
00:35:34,880 --> 00:35:37,160
Speaker 1: hang out with my family. And that's the best part

636
00:35:37,160 --> 00:35:39,120
Speaker 1: about getting the number one seat. You can kind of

637
00:35:39,160 --> 00:35:41,640
Speaker 1: take a deep breath, you know, you could have some beers,

638
00:35:41,840 --> 00:35:44,040
Speaker 1: you can hang out with your wife and kids, you

639
00:35:44,040 --> 00:35:46,880
Speaker 1: can go to dinner, your players can get some treatment

640
00:35:46,920 --> 00:35:49,920
Speaker 1: and just get out their feet and your assistance when

641
00:35:49,920 --> 00:35:52,759
Speaker 1: they're in high demand, don't have to force a game

642
00:35:52,800 --> 00:35:57,040
Speaker 1: plan while they're trying to interview. Because obviously Aaron Glenn

643
00:35:57,080 --> 00:36:00,360
Speaker 1: wants to become a head coach as he should because

644
00:36:00,800 --> 00:36:02,480
Speaker 1: and I heard someone talking about this and they were

645
00:36:02,560 --> 00:36:06,200
Speaker 1: right that being a defensive guy, there are no guarantees.

646
00:36:07,040 --> 00:36:09,719
Speaker 1: You gotta strike when the iron's hot. It's if Ben

647
00:36:09,800 --> 00:36:12,960
Speaker 1: Johnson did turn everyone down this year, the Lions are

648
00:36:12,960 --> 00:36:15,680
Speaker 1: gonna be excellent again on offense next year and he's

649
00:36:15,680 --> 00:36:18,080
Speaker 1: still gonna be in high demand. But if Aaron Glenn

650
00:36:18,120 --> 00:36:20,440
Speaker 1: gets the opportunity with the Jets, with the Saints, with

651
00:36:20,719 --> 00:36:22,880
Speaker 1: the Jags, the Bears, whoever, he has to take the

652
00:36:22,960 --> 00:36:26,520
Speaker 1: job because he's fighting an uphill battle on that side

653
00:36:26,560 --> 00:36:29,000
Speaker 1: of the ball, and just the defensive side of the

654
00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:31,520
Speaker 1: ball can just be very, very fickle in general, and

655
00:36:31,719 --> 00:36:34,359
Speaker 1: teams are just more inclined to higher offensive guys. They

656
00:36:34,400 --> 00:36:36,360
Speaker 1: just are as they should be because the quarterbacks the

657
00:36:36,360 --> 00:36:40,359
Speaker 1: most important guy. But if you're Dan Campbell, you don't

658
00:36:40,360 --> 00:36:41,600
Speaker 1: have to worry like you don't even know who you're

659
00:36:41,600 --> 00:36:44,720
Speaker 1: playing it and there's a decent chance the team you're playing.

660
00:36:45,280 --> 00:36:47,560
Speaker 1: You know, if Minnesota beats the Rams comes out of

661
00:36:47,600 --> 00:36:50,520
Speaker 1: the Monday night game, who you just played him anyway,

662
00:36:50,600 --> 00:36:53,400
Speaker 1: So that's be the easiest opponent possible because you literally

663
00:36:53,440 --> 00:36:56,960
Speaker 1: just game plan for him. So I think this is

664
00:36:56,960 --> 00:36:59,440
Speaker 1: why that game was so big. It was big for

665
00:36:59,480 --> 00:37:01,759
Speaker 1: the Chiefs, But if the Chiefs hadn't got the number

666
00:37:01,800 --> 00:37:03,160
Speaker 1: one seed, even though they had it now for a

667
00:37:03,200 --> 00:37:04,839
Speaker 1: couple of weeks, wouldn't have been the end of the world.

668
00:37:04,920 --> 00:37:06,480
Speaker 1: We saw it last year they went on a run

669
00:37:06,920 --> 00:37:09,160
Speaker 1: for the Lions. They really really needed it, not just

670
00:37:09,160 --> 00:37:13,239
Speaker 1: for their players, but because of the prep and the

671
00:37:13,320 --> 00:37:15,560
Speaker 1: time off for their coaches and the ability for those

672
00:37:15,560 --> 00:37:18,600
Speaker 1: guys to interview without any pressure to try to force

673
00:37:18,640 --> 00:37:21,480
Speaker 1: a game plan in what would have felt like one

674
00:37:21,480 --> 00:37:23,719
Speaker 1: of the great failures of all time. If all of

675
00:37:23,760 --> 00:37:25,360
Speaker 1: a sudden, the Lions would have been bounced in the

676
00:37:25,360 --> 00:37:29,120
Speaker 1: first round. So I still go back to that Lions

677
00:37:29,160 --> 00:37:32,799
Speaker 1: win on Sunday night. Football Week eighteen feels like one

678
00:37:32,800 --> 00:37:35,040
Speaker 1: of the cooler games in a long, long time. Okay,

679
00:37:35,280 --> 00:37:37,160
Speaker 1: have a great night, have a good morning whenever you

680
00:37:37,200 --> 00:37:40,120
Speaker 1: listen to this, and let's enjoy some football on Sunday

681
00:37:40,160 --> 00:37:43,080
Speaker 1: and I will see you Sunday afternoon with Colin and

682
00:37:43,080 --> 00:37:46,160
Speaker 1: then Sunday night with myself. I think that's the game

683
00:37:46,200 --> 00:37:49,400
Speaker 1: plan right now. So football, football and then some more football.

684
00:37:52,920 --> 00:37:53,560
Speaker 1: The volume
