It's about nine to 9 00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:43,680 Speaker 1: thirty Pacific Standard time, and we just witnessed I think 10 00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:45,640 Speaker 1: one of the craziest nights I went to night football 11 00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:48,600 Speaker 1: I ever remember, and I remember some crazy ones. We 12 00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:51,160 Speaker 1: will talk about that coming up. It does not look 13 00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:55,880 Speaker 1: good for Aaron Rodgers and his achilles. So by the 14 00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:58,640 Speaker 1: time you're listening to this, obviously the news will be broken. 15 00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:01,800 Speaker 1: But as of right now, it looks like it's all 16 00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:05,920 Speaker 1: she wrote, which is pretty nuts. So we will dive 17 00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:11,880 Speaker 1: in to the reaction of the injury the game. Josh Allen, 18 00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:15,360 Speaker 1: I don't even know what to say about that performance, 19 00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:18,440 Speaker 1: Probably one of his worst of his career, definitely since 20 00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:21,520 Speaker 1: he became a good player. We'll hit on some other stuff, 21 00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:24,640 Speaker 1: the forty nine Ers and Cowboys and the Eagles. Obviously, 22 00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:27,080 Speaker 1: the Niners and Cowboys had really good days. The Eagles 23 00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:29,440 Speaker 1: had a weird day, but they play in a couple 24 00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:33,160 Speaker 1: nights because Thursday Night Football at the Link, So the 25 00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:36,360 Speaker 1: NFC kind of flexing their muscles. At least those three teams. 26 00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:39,800 Speaker 1: Some other teams had some rough days, and then we 27 00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:42,920 Speaker 1: will dive into a lot of different football talk from 28 00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:48,480 Speaker 1: the Chargers Brandon Staley to Tua, to Jimmy g and 29 00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:52,280 Speaker 1: Carr to Mel Tucker, you name it, we will touch 30 00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:56,280 Speaker 1: on it. And yeah, football is off and running, so 31 00:01:57,320 --> 00:01:59,520 Speaker 1: let's buckle up because it's gonna be a long season. 32 00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:03,280 Speaker 1: A lot of podcasts plan on having several podcasts this week, 33 00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:06,920 Speaker 1: probably one Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday.

In all my 65 00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:45,240 Speaker 1: life and I have, I've been watching Monday Night football 66 00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:49,680 Speaker 1: pretty consistently, probably that I can remember, since ninety one 67 00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:54,040 Speaker 1: ninety two. So we're going on thirty plus years of 68 00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:58,200 Speaker 1: Monday Night literally from the start of September till the 69 00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:01,960 Speaker 1: end of the season. I don't think I've missed many games. Hell, 70 00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:06,280 Speaker 1: I would skip school definitely in college if it interfered 71 00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:09,000 Speaker 1: with Monday Night football. I love Monday Night football, always have, 72 00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:12,560 Speaker 1: always will. It feels very special and we have seen 73 00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:16,839 Speaker 1: some crazy things happen. Joe. Thisman having his leg snap 74 00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:19,719 Speaker 1: by LT was a little before my time. One that 75 00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:23,120 Speaker 1: I vividly remember was Steve Young when he was knocked 76 00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:27,080 Speaker 1: out on the field for Anias Williams game ironically was 77 00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:33,679 Speaker 1: in Arizona. And obviously last year the Damar situation, which 78 00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:37,400 Speaker 1: was something that I think rare time in America these days, 79 00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:40,440 Speaker 1: that kind of united us, all all of us were 80 00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:43,920 Speaker 1: just one, not only moved, but were rooting for the 81 00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:46,479 Speaker 1: human being not to be saved, but to bounce back 82 00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:48,760 Speaker 1: and clear. Tonight was a cool moment, just seeing him 83 00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:51,839 Speaker 1: on the sideline and street close. But I don't think 84 00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:54,200 Speaker 1: in all my years of not just watching Monday night football, 85 00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:57,320 Speaker 1: but just sports in general, I've ever seen anything quite 86 00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:01,920 Speaker 1: like that. And listen, it doesn't suck for anyone more. 87 00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:04,360 Speaker 1: Assuming that, you know, some reports he might have torn 88 00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:07,599 Speaker 1: his achilles. It's not looking good. Rap Sheet basically reported 89 00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:11,240 Speaker 1: that Robert Salaz said in his press conference that it's 90 00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:14,840 Speaker 1: not looking good. It doesn't suck for anyone more than 91 00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:18,240 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers, who had an opportunity to kind of have 92 00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:21,960 Speaker 1: his Tom Brady moment right go to a franchise which 93 00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:25,080 Speaker 1: is much bigger than Tampa just because of the city 94 00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:26,960 Speaker 1: it plays in and the amount of fans it has. 95 00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:29,839 Speaker 1: But a lot like Tampa had just been really shitty 96 00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:33,840 Speaker 1: for a long time and has not done a lot 97 00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:38,040 Speaker 1: of winning really for decades. Right. I mean, they literally 98 00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:40,800 Speaker 1: have the longest playoff drought right now and had a 99 00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:43,560 Speaker 1: chance to kind of stamp what is an all time 100 00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:47,360 Speaker 1: great resume, all the MVPs, the super Bowl Championship. He 101 00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:51,440 Speaker 1: didn't need to win another super Bowl in New York. Hell, 102 00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:53,719 Speaker 1: he didn't need to win an MVP in New York. 103 00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:55,880 Speaker 1: He took a big pay cut. If he just got 104 00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:58,839 Speaker 1: them not just back to relevance, but just in the playoffs, 105 00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:03,320 Speaker 1: won a playoff game, that would be a moving sports moment. 106 00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:07,560 Speaker 1: And the game kicked off at eight fifteen, right after 107 00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:11,400 Speaker 1: he had run out of the tunnel on the anniversary 108 00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:13,840 Speaker 1: of nine to eleven, the last guy on the field 109 00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:17,919 Speaker 1: with an American flag. It was a powerful moment. It 110 00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:20,080 Speaker 1: would have been regardless who that was. It could have 111 00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:22,800 Speaker 1: been Sauce, It could have been Quinn Williams. It could 112 00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:24,880 Speaker 1: have been Robert Solid It wouldn't have mattered. It could 113 00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:26,760 Speaker 1: have been Josh Allen for the Bills. You would have 114 00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:29,080 Speaker 1: got a standing ovation. But for it to be Aaron 115 00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:32,000 Speaker 1: Rodgers in his Jets debut, which we had this game 116 00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:35,440 Speaker 1: circled forever, right since the schedule came out. It was 117 00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:38,920 Speaker 1: gonna be incredible. And then at eight twenty six, literally 118 00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:42,440 Speaker 1: almost ten minutes after kickoff, he's laying on the ground 119 00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:45,080 Speaker 1: and we've all seen enough injuries where you go, God, 120 00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:47,560 Speaker 1: I hope it's gonna be okay. And then within about 121 00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:49,360 Speaker 1: ten minutes you knew it wasn't good when the card 122 00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:52,800 Speaker 1: came out, But I can't help but feel for the 123 00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:56,240 Speaker 1: lifeblood of this sport and it's you guys listening, and 124 00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:59,640 Speaker 1: most specifically tonight, it's Jets fans who have to feel 125 00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:03,239 Speaker 1: cursed like good things just can't happen to them. Because 126 00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:07,840 Speaker 1: without the fans, which helped make the NFL by far 127 00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:12,520 Speaker 1: by a country mile, the biggest sport in America, it 128 00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:16,000 Speaker 1: wouldn't be what it was, and it is currently right 129 00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:18,160 Speaker 1: the amount of money the players make, the coaches make, 130 00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:21,280 Speaker 1: these owners are making. Hell. Someone who talks about football 131 00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:23,440 Speaker 1: is able to get a big audience because so many 132 00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:27,240 Speaker 1: people care, but specifically to that fan base. Like I said, 133 00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:29,920 Speaker 1: Steve Young, I was a Dieharden Niner fan as a kid. 134 00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:33,200 Speaker 1: And when he was KOed and his career ended on 135 00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:35,840 Speaker 1: that field on Monday night, he had been the starting 136 00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:39,800 Speaker 1: quarterback for a decade, one MVPs won a Super Bowl, 137 00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:42,880 Speaker 1: you got to take in his career, right, So when 138 00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:45,520 Speaker 1: some of these injuries happened to these older players, you 139 00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:48,960 Speaker 1: have got to see it all. This ended before it 140 00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:52,040 Speaker 1: even started. And listen, I'm not trying to get it 141 00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:54,560 Speaker 1: to ahead of ourselves. We don't have all the details, 142 00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:57,880 Speaker 1: but if it is a torn achilles, I mean you're 143 00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:01,000 Speaker 1: talking about a potential career ender. He's going to be 144 00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:04,840 Speaker 1: forty in December, that this is not a thirty one 145 00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:08,480 Speaker 1: year old. It's hard the older you get to bounce 146 00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:11,480 Speaker 1: back from these injuries. We have seen it recently with 147 00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:16,040 Speaker 1: several players. Roethlisberger with the elbow injury, Carson Palmer with 148 00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:19,120 Speaker 1: the knee injury, Peyton Manning his last season when his 149 00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:23,160 Speaker 1: body started to go. It's very, very difficult. Tom Brady 150 00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:26,280 Speaker 1: is an all time outlier. We're probably never seeing that again. 151 00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:31,480 Speaker 1: And I really really feel bad for the Jets fans. 152 00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:36,400 Speaker 1: I can't even imagine caring that much. Which how could 153 00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:40,160 Speaker 1: you not? You trade for Aaron Rodgers in the offseason. 154 00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:44,120 Speaker 1: He comes, He is the happiest guy in all of 155 00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:47,600 Speaker 1: New York. He's having the time of his life. The team, 156 00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:50,480 Speaker 1: even though there's some flaws in the offensive line, clearly 157 00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:52,959 Speaker 1: was going to be pretty solid, had an elite defense. 158 00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:56,040 Speaker 1: They signed Dalvin Cook for He's hauls back from his 159 00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:59,120 Speaker 1: injury last year. Garrett Wilson looks like a young star 160 00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:04,280 Speaker 1: and then he gets injured eleven minutes in and listen, 161 00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:07,080 Speaker 1: I make fun of the NFL for being the ultimate 162 00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:09,080 Speaker 1: reality show. You can't make it up and it is 163 00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:11,800 Speaker 1: so true. But this is the worst part, and it's 164 00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:14,199 Speaker 1: the part that I've never missed since leaving the NFL, 165 00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:16,760 Speaker 1: the things that are out of your control. When a 166 00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:19,680 Speaker 1: guy is just laying there on the ground, and you 167 00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:21,439 Speaker 1: hate to say it, but you see it in the preseason. 168 00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:24,120 Speaker 1: You definitely see it starting this week once the regular 169 00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:27,160 Speaker 1: season starts. When players are lying down, especially when there's 170 00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:31,000 Speaker 1: a pile, you just pray it's not your star player, 171 00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:34,480 Speaker 1: right and in this situation, there was no pile. He 172 00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:37,520 Speaker 1: literally stood up and went right back down. And that 173 00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:40,600 Speaker 1: was a moment that I'll never forget in all my 174 00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:44,520 Speaker 1: years of watching sports, You'll never forget that moment of 175 00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:48,800 Speaker 1: watching Aaron Rodgers make his Jets debut and just hit 176 00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:52,160 Speaker 1: the ground in a moment. I almost tweeted this because 177 00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:54,360 Speaker 1: I sat down, I just had a snack. We're gonna 178 00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:56,720 Speaker 1: make dinner. At halftime, you look up at the TV 179 00:09:56,920 --> 00:10:00,480 Speaker 1: and I was just thinking to myself, football is so 180 00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:04,880 Speaker 1: big because it's opening night, Monday Night Football, it's Week one, 181 00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:08,760 Speaker 1: and yet the energy coming out of that television screen, 182 00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:13,320 Speaker 1: the passion from just the fans, how loud everyone was, 183 00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:16,520 Speaker 1: how intense it felt with the Bills as well. It 184 00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:21,280 Speaker 1: felt like an AFC divisional game or an AFC championship game. 185 00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:26,360 Speaker 1: It felt gigantic, and then the moment he left, it 186 00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:28,600 Speaker 1: took a lot of you know, just win out of 187 00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:30,839 Speaker 1: the sales of the game. Now here's what I will 188 00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:33,400 Speaker 1: say if I'm a Jets fan, it couldn't suck anymore. 189 00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:37,400 Speaker 1: That's about as miserable it gets as it gets, especially 190 00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:41,120 Speaker 1: if as of recording this we assume he'd never seen 191 00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:43,640 Speaker 1: again the rest of the season. But you got to 192 00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:45,679 Speaker 1: take some pride because a lot of teams in that 193 00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:50,000 Speaker 1: situation who lose a player of his caliber. Also, when 194 00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:53,239 Speaker 1: you factor in the variables of what he was replacing 195 00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:56,880 Speaker 1: right last year, their quarterback situation, the belief that he 196 00:10:56,920 --> 00:11:00,640 Speaker 1: had given that building. If you watch Hard Knocks, the 197 00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:03,560 Speaker 1: way the coaches talked about them, their defensive coaches talked 198 00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:05,600 Speaker 1: about how we have a chance to win every game 199 00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:09,800 Speaker 1: because of this individual. That team did not quit, They 200 00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:15,360 Speaker 1: refused to tap out. They played incredibly hard Offensively. Obviously, 201 00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:18,720 Speaker 1: they have some limitations with Zach Wilson relative to Aaron Rodgers, 202 00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:22,199 Speaker 1: but that defensive unit and just the overall effort by 203 00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:26,040 Speaker 1: the team was really remarkable, and I think you just 204 00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:28,720 Speaker 1: have to tip your hat to your team, not just 205 00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:32,240 Speaker 1: mailing it in, because it would have been very understandable 206 00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:36,840 Speaker 1: if guys clearly they were shell shocked, especially offensively, but 207 00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:39,160 Speaker 1: if the defense just ran out of juice and that 208 00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:42,360 Speaker 1: defense played the entire game like Aaron Rodgers was still 209 00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:45,720 Speaker 1: in the game. So props to the Jets end up 210 00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:48,520 Speaker 1: winning the game on just a remarkable punt return for 211 00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:53,360 Speaker 1: a touchdown. That was really cool. I mean, that's why 212 00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:56,080 Speaker 1: we watched the entire game. It got really sloppy in there. 213 00:11:56,559 --> 00:11:59,320 Speaker 1: But that's the type night where all I can say 214 00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:02,319 Speaker 1: is I feel sorry for you guys. I truly do, 215 00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:06,040 Speaker 1: because I love football, and I'm very passionate about football, 216 00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:09,800 Speaker 1: and I know how passionate fans are about individually about 217 00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:12,360 Speaker 1: their team. And when your team's been bad for that 218 00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:15,040 Speaker 1: long and you don't just get hope, it's not like, 219 00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:17,040 Speaker 1: oh we might have something here at this quarterback. You 220 00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:22,040 Speaker 1: get Aaron freaking Rogers and he is just happy as 221 00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:26,199 Speaker 1: humanly possible for six months in your building, taking teammates 222 00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:29,800 Speaker 1: to MSG, going to plays, going to basketball games, going 223 00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:32,280 Speaker 1: to hockey games. Just having the time is like takes 224 00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:35,360 Speaker 1: a pay cut literally hands back thirty five million. You're like, 225 00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:39,199 Speaker 1: got this kid go any better? And then that happens. 226 00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:42,800 Speaker 1: You really can't make it up. Now. On the flip side, 227 00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:45,280 Speaker 1: the Bills, who have easily been one of the best 228 00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:48,200 Speaker 1: teams in football over the last several years, have a 229 00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:51,280 Speaker 1: problem on their hands. Josh Allen's clearly one of the 230 00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:54,280 Speaker 1: most talented players in the NFL. He's a freak. But 231 00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:56,800 Speaker 1: I did a little math before we hopped on tonight. 232 00:12:57,160 --> 00:13:00,400 Speaker 1: In his last thirty four games that includes the last 233 00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:06,320 Speaker 1: two regular seasons and then tonight, he has thirty two interceptions. 234 00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:10,959 Speaker 1: Let me repeat that, thirty four games, thirty two interceptions. 235 00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:15,680 Speaker 1: That's a major problem, and tonight was kind of embarrassing. 236 00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:19,160 Speaker 1: It really was for a player of his caliber. I'll 237 00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:21,880 Speaker 1: never forget when I worked in the NFL Marty Morningwig, 238 00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:24,680 Speaker 1: who's a longtime coach with the forty nine ers with 239 00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:27,200 Speaker 1: Andy Reid forever in Philly, then was with the Ravens 240 00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:29,360 Speaker 1: for a while. He was really cool. He used to 241 00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:31,560 Speaker 1: give me like one hundred bucks to go buy him 242 00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:33,440 Speaker 1: a log at you and then let me keep the change, 243 00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:37,080 Speaker 1: which was like fifty bucks, and we used to just bs. 244 00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:40,400 Speaker 1: He was a West Coast guy played at Montana, and 245 00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:42,320 Speaker 1: I used to ask him, like the best player he 246 00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:45,920 Speaker 1: ever saw, and he said, by far, like the ninety five, 247 00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:48,640 Speaker 1: ninety six, ninety seven stretch of Brett farv He said, 248 00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:51,000 Speaker 1: it's the best player I've ever seen. And you go 249 00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:53,359 Speaker 1: back and look at some of those numbers, three straight MVPs. 250 00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:58,040 Speaker 1: Bretton this peak was elite. Well after Holmgren left, he 251 00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:01,560 Speaker 1: just could get lucy goosey and no one ever disputed. Like, 252 00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:04,440 Speaker 1: it's not like he lost his talent, right, the ability 253 00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:06,840 Speaker 1: to make the throws because he had an arm unlike 254 00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:10,280 Speaker 1: literally everyone except John Elway, and that's kind of what 255 00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:13,400 Speaker 1: Josh Allen has. But these last three years, and especially 256 00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:16,440 Speaker 1: these last two years, it feels like he's very loosey goosey. 257 00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:19,680 Speaker 1: He is making throws that a player of his caliber 258 00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:25,440 Speaker 1: should not be throwing. You don't just throw yolo balls constantly. 259 00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:28,400 Speaker 1: And it's one thing, like I can live with turnovers. 260 00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:33,000 Speaker 1: I don't mind interceptions. That's okay, especially with guys that 261 00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:37,120 Speaker 1: can throw forty forty five touchdowns, you can throw ten interceptions. 262 00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:41,320 Speaker 1: But tonight that has to be since he's become a 263 00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:44,400 Speaker 1: good player, not counting like his rookie season one of 264 00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:47,480 Speaker 1: the worst NFL games he's ever played, and I think 265 00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:50,280 Speaker 1: there's a good chance it's the worst NFL game he's 266 00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:54,200 Speaker 1: ever played as a good player. And in the situation too. Right, 267 00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:58,440 Speaker 1: they're playing a Jets team where Aaron Rodgers is underneath 268 00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:01,520 Speaker 1: the tunnel in a boot, they got Zach Wilson. It's 269 00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:04,440 Speaker 1: gonna be very, very hard for them to score. I 270 00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:08,240 Speaker 1: saw Freezing Cold Takes retweeted a guy that said, if 271 00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:12,160 Speaker 1: the Bills just kneel the ball every single play till 272 00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:14,520 Speaker 1: the end of the game, you probably punt on fourth down. 273 00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:16,880 Speaker 1: You don't kneel it on fourth down, they will win, 274 00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:20,200 Speaker 1: and Freezing Cold Takes retweeted him like the guy's an idiot. 275 00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:23,920 Speaker 1: I actually agree. The only way you lose that game 276 00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:26,840 Speaker 1: tonight is if you turn the ball over or they 277 00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:29,760 Speaker 1: get some freaky long play, which was gonna be very 278 00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:33,480 Speaker 1: difficult for them. And Josh Allen, to me, is the 279 00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:36,400 Speaker 1: reason the Jets had a chance to win because he 280 00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:39,400 Speaker 1: kept turning the ball over. And the Bills have a 281 00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:43,520 Speaker 1: problem because their only chance to win a Super Bowl, right, 282 00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:45,680 Speaker 1: just like most teams only chance to win a Super 283 00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:47,480 Speaker 1: Bowl when you have a player of his caliber at 284 00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:52,000 Speaker 1: that position is for him to dominate, right, Patrick Mahomes 285 00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:54,920 Speaker 1: has to dominate. Matt Stafford a couple of years ago 286 00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:58,320 Speaker 1: in the playoffs was awesome, right, Joe Burrow when they're 287 00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:02,080 Speaker 1: making their run, awesome, Tom Brady, all those years, Peyton Manning, 288 00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:04,840 Speaker 1: they got to dominate, right. I guess the Peyton Manning 289 00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:07,120 Speaker 1: second Super Bowl, his defense was elite. But that's not 290 00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:09,000 Speaker 1: the case with the Bills that they're not rolling a 291 00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:13,080 Speaker 1: top two or three defense. They need him to be brilliant. 292 00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:18,280 Speaker 1: And you just see things that concern you. Turnovers at 293 00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:20,960 Speaker 1: the rate in which he's turning it over for a 294 00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:23,320 Speaker 1: guy who he made a play tonight, the touchdown he 295 00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:25,640 Speaker 1: threw to digs where he was scrambling and kind of 296 00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:28,800 Speaker 1: pushed it was awesome. And speaking of Diggs, I have 297 00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:32,960 Speaker 1: a soft spot for and this is kind of unfair diva. 298 00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:34,720 Speaker 1: I don't even know if he's diva. He's not really 299 00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:37,880 Speaker 1: a male content. He just mixes it up. He just 300 00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:40,840 Speaker 1: gets in some makes other people uncomfortable sometimes. I think 301 00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:44,600 Speaker 1: some head coaches, offensive coordinators. But he's a winning player. 302 00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:47,440 Speaker 1: I have no problem with you if you got some issues, 303 00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:51,320 Speaker 1: but you contribute to winning, and he's contributed in Minnesota, 304 00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:53,720 Speaker 1: he had some issues. They were winning with him. You 305 00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:56,040 Speaker 1: put digs on the bills. They win with that guy, 306 00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:57,600 Speaker 1: and then you watch him play, You're like, this guy's 307 00:16:57,640 --> 00:17:00,080 Speaker 1: a baller. I want that guy on my side. And 308 00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:01,560 Speaker 1: you saw at the end of the game or toward 309 00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:03,280 Speaker 1: the end of the game, he goes over to Josh 310 00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:06,080 Speaker 1: almost like trying to calm him down. Bro, we need 311 00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:10,280 Speaker 1: him here, man, let's play under control. And he was terrible. 312 00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:14,040 Speaker 1: I mean, that was a player of his level cannot 313 00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:18,320 Speaker 1: have that game when the other team just lost Aaron 314 00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:22,040 Speaker 1: Rodgers ten minutes into the game. It's honestly unacceptable, or 315 00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:25,200 Speaker 1: you're gonna lose in which they did. So just an 316 00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:29,200 Speaker 1: all time memorable moment on the anniversary nine to eleven 317 00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:32,359 Speaker 1: in New York. It's just for Rogers to go down 318 00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:34,159 Speaker 1: and by the time you're listening to this it might 319 00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:36,879 Speaker 1: be announced he's out for the season. You just can't 320 00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:39,680 Speaker 1: make that up. And like I said, I feel every 321 00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:43,879 Speaker 1: Jets fan out there, I feel for you. That can't 322 00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:48,440 Speaker 1: suck anymore. There's nothing football wise worse than that. It's 323 00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:52,280 Speaker 1: literally impossible to be worse than what we witnessed tonight 324 00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:56,840 Speaker 1: to happen to your franchise. So all I can say 325 00:17:56,880 --> 00:18:00,000 Speaker 1: is I'm sorry. Some other things that I want to 326 00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:04,040 Speaker 1: touch on is, you know Zach Wilson went to and 327 00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:07,120 Speaker 1: obviously Trey Lance went three. We'll see. I mean, Zach 328 00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:09,160 Speaker 1: looks a little better than last year. Got a long 329 00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:11,680 Speaker 1: way to go. It's gonna be a rough Week two 330 00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:15,239 Speaker 1: against the Cowboys. But I think what we saw out 331 00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:17,960 Speaker 1: of the forty nine Ers, and I'm not talking specifically 332 00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:20,080 Speaker 1: about the ass whooping that they put on the Pittsburgh 333 00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:23,159 Speaker 1: Steelers and me picking the Pittsburgh Steelers to compete to 334 00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:26,480 Speaker 1: win the AFC does not feel great right now. And 335 00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:28,680 Speaker 1: as someone that didn't like Kenny Pickett coming out in 336 00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:30,879 Speaker 1: the draft but then was convinced that he is actually 337 00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:34,240 Speaker 1: probably a little better, I don't even know what to 338 00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:37,600 Speaker 1: do with that take. It doesn't it's not agent well. 339 00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:39,840 Speaker 1: But I think we're never gonna see the forty nine 340 00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:44,719 Speaker 1: ers situation ever again because they made one of the worst, 341 00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:49,159 Speaker 1: if not the worst draft trade slash picks in NFL history, 342 00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:52,480 Speaker 1: three first rounders for a guy by year three was 343 00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:56,840 Speaker 1: traded before Week one and only started four games for them, 344 00:18:57,520 --> 00:19:00,600 Speaker 1: But I think the reason that they avoided complete disaster 345 00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:06,000 Speaker 1: because ultimately he only started four games for them. Typically, 346 00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:09,119 Speaker 1: when you draft a quarterback really high, whether you trade 347 00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:11,200 Speaker 1: up to get him or you just pick them because 348 00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:14,520 Speaker 1: that's where you're drafting, and it doesn't go well, it 349 00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:17,159 Speaker 1: derails your franchise because that's the guy you're playing and 350 00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:20,160 Speaker 1: he's not any good and you're screwed. Right. We've seen 351 00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:23,159 Speaker 1: a lot of them in recent memory, Baker Mayfield mister Biskey, 352 00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:25,560 Speaker 1: because usually just play him till the wheels fall off 353 00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:29,080 Speaker 1: and you figure out like he's not the guy he Ultimately, 354 00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:31,040 Speaker 1: when you think about the last two years where the 355 00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:34,399 Speaker 1: Niners went to multiple NFC Championship games, was kind of 356 00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:37,280 Speaker 1: irrelevant to their whole operation. Two years ago when they 357 00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:39,400 Speaker 1: won ten games and they ended up losing to the Rams. 358 00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:42,840 Speaker 1: He started two games, he was basically red shirting one 359 00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:46,400 Speaker 1: to one, lost one, and then the following year gets hurt. 360 00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:50,040 Speaker 1: Week two, Jimmy comes in and they stumble into Purty 361 00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:52,959 Speaker 1: like you're just never gonna see a situation where you 362 00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:56,800 Speaker 1: invest that much in that position. He plays that little, 363 00:19:57,320 --> 00:20:00,439 Speaker 1: and by year three, a couple weeks after you trade him, 364 00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:04,160 Speaker 1: it's pretty clear this is the best version of the Niners, 365 00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:07,239 Speaker 1: this team and typically, and we're gonna see it. If 366 00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:09,760 Speaker 1: Zach Wilson, let's say he plays the next sixteen games, 367 00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:12,919 Speaker 1: more likely it's not gonna go great. Right, even if 368 00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:15,240 Speaker 1: he's improved a little bit from last year, he's just 369 00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:18,359 Speaker 1: got some flaws as a player. Right. He clearly was 370 00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:22,160 Speaker 1: very overvalued. I think, like Trey, they were greatly impacted 371 00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:25,600 Speaker 1: by the twenty twenty season. Zach played nobody at BYU 372 00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:28,359 Speaker 1: and Lance didn't even have a season, So it's somewhat 373 00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:33,280 Speaker 1: of an outlier situation, but that situation is ultimately gonna 374 00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:38,040 Speaker 1: doom the Jets, right that pick. Right, Clearly, they tried 375 00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:40,960 Speaker 1: to have a contingency plan when they traded for Rodgers, 376 00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:43,159 Speaker 1: and it looks like that backfire because of injury. But 377 00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:45,960 Speaker 1: ultimately it's gonna fail because Zack's not good enough and 378 00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:48,320 Speaker 1: they have no choice but to play them. And the 379 00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:51,520 Speaker 1: forty nine ers kind of got bailed out because one 380 00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:55,200 Speaker 1: they stumbled into party and a huge part of the draft, 381 00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:59,760 Speaker 1: just like life, is luck, and there is no I 382 00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:02,560 Speaker 1: don't care how much they say they liked him in 383 00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:04,720 Speaker 1: the draft, which I know the forty nine ers did 384 00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:07,160 Speaker 1: and I think other teams did as well. You took 385 00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:09,879 Speaker 1: the guy with the last pick, right, so there you 386 00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:13,520 Speaker 1: passed on him, not only countless times, you took him, 387 00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:15,640 Speaker 1: mister relevant, the last pick in the draft. You had 388 00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:18,520 Speaker 1: absolutely no clue he was gonna be this good. And 389 00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:22,240 Speaker 1: now heading into Week two, the entire team, I mean, 390 00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:27,040 Speaker 1: I follow Deebo, all these guys are constantly instagramming about party. 391 00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:31,080 Speaker 1: I saw an instagram on my feed today of Micah Parsons, 392 00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:33,120 Speaker 1: who I don't know if he has a podcast where 393 00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:36,199 Speaker 1: he mikes himself up playing video games on Twitch, was 394 00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:40,280 Speaker 1: basically saying, we gotta give Purdy. This is Michah Parson's saying, 395 00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:42,280 Speaker 1: we got to give Purty the respect. He's a top 396 00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:45,520 Speaker 1: fifteen quarterback. So you're telling me they were just able 397 00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:48,720 Speaker 1: to throw lands to the trash upgrade with Purdy, who 398 00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:52,560 Speaker 1: happens to be easily the best quarterback they've had, and 399 00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:55,840 Speaker 1: really they've only had one good quarterback and that's Jimmy, 400 00:21:55,840 --> 00:21:58,919 Speaker 1: who was very flawed. And as we saw Jimmy with 401 00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:02,920 Speaker 1: the Raiders, like he's gonna drive you nuts, but he's 402 00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:05,600 Speaker 1: gonna find way somehow to win. But you're not really 403 00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:07,600 Speaker 1: gonna give him the credit for the win. He's a 404 00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:10,560 Speaker 1: bizarre player. But the forty nine ers won a ton 405 00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:13,399 Speaker 1: of games with Jimmy Garoppolo, and I watched every snap 406 00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:15,720 Speaker 1: of them, and I'll tell you this, Brock Purty is 407 00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:19,440 Speaker 1: dramatically better than Jimmy Garoppolo. Now, I'm not claiming Purty 408 00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:23,560 Speaker 1: some top ten quarterback yet, but so far, he looks really, 409 00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:25,560 Speaker 1: really good for the forty nine ers, and they are 410 00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:29,119 Speaker 1: absolutely loaded with Iukhu's playing for a contract and is 411 00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:32,360 Speaker 1: really good. Deebo, who is going by Skinny Deebo right 412 00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:34,879 Speaker 1: now because Kyle Shanahan basically called him fat and lazy 413 00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:38,160 Speaker 1: after last season. Deebo spent all offseason getting in shape, 414 00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:42,000 Speaker 1: and Christian McCaffrey, who just I mean looks like Barry 415 00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:46,360 Speaker 1: Sanders so, and they got George Kittle. It's just it's 416 00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:49,080 Speaker 1: a position that the forty nine ers. The only thing 417 00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:52,160 Speaker 1: that can slow them down is injuries or else they're 418 00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:56,000 Speaker 1: gonna be right back in the NFC Championship Game. Speaking 419 00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:58,399 Speaker 1: of NFC Championship Game, here's a team that hasn't been 420 00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:00,800 Speaker 1: there in twenty five years. I tried to mix it 421 00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:04,800 Speaker 1: up a little bit on my preseason picks, like I thought, 422 00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:06,760 Speaker 1: the Cowboys easily could have beat the forty nine ers 423 00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:09,840 Speaker 1: in that playoff game last year. Their defense came to play. 424 00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:13,520 Speaker 1: Their defense last year was super Bowl level. That was 425 00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:15,719 Speaker 1: a type defense you could win a Super Bowl with. Well, 426 00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:18,880 Speaker 1: they literally brought everyone back, and they brought the defensive 427 00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:21,159 Speaker 1: coordinator back, and their guys get a year older and 428 00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:24,000 Speaker 1: in their prime. So the team that we saw against 429 00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:26,360 Speaker 1: the New York Giants, then I expect them to win 430 00:23:26,440 --> 00:23:28,920 Speaker 1: forty to nothing. Of course, not nobody did, or else 431 00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:30,760 Speaker 1: I would have bet my life's savings on the game. 432 00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:33,440 Speaker 1: But that defense is for real, and that defense right 433 00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:35,320 Speaker 1: there with the forty nine ers, to me, if they 434 00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:37,480 Speaker 1: stay healthy, is gonna be right there as the best 435 00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:40,879 Speaker 1: defense in the league. And the team speed is beyond evident. 436 00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:44,320 Speaker 1: Their dbs make a ton of plays and their pass 437 00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:48,160 Speaker 1: rush is freaking elite. And in twenty twenty three, the 438 00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:51,960 Speaker 1: one place where you can really separate yourself because you're 439 00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:54,600 Speaker 1: allowed to be physical is the line of scrimmage. Right, 440 00:23:54,680 --> 00:23:57,359 Speaker 1: you can't take out people across the middle, you can't 441 00:23:57,400 --> 00:24:00,800 Speaker 1: hit people down the seam or on goes like you 442 00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:04,200 Speaker 1: used to fifteen to twenty years ago. The intimidation factor 443 00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:08,400 Speaker 1: at safety is completely different even linebacker, and I see 444 00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:10,520 Speaker 1: it with the forty nine ers, like sometimes Drake Greenlow 445 00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:12,080 Speaker 1: will have at tackle, I'm like, God, he's gonna get 446 00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:14,960 Speaker 1: flagged for that. But the line of scrimmage, you can 447 00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:18,159 Speaker 1: be as physical basically as ever relative. I mean, you 448 00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:20,479 Speaker 1: gotta be careful when you're hitting the quarterback, but just 449 00:24:20,520 --> 00:24:24,719 Speaker 1: in terms of speed, power, all that stuff still translates, 450 00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:28,720 Speaker 1: and they have it in waves. I think the Cowboys, 451 00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:32,239 Speaker 1: I feel good about my pick. Uh, they look like 452 00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:35,560 Speaker 1: I think they're gonna look they're gonna dominate on defense. Offensively, 453 00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:38,520 Speaker 1: Do I trust Dak you know, to make a Super 454 00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:41,480 Speaker 1: Bowl run? I do not. But like I said all 455 00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:44,640 Speaker 1: off season, all it takes is a couple games stretch 456 00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:48,879 Speaker 1: to get hot. No One in a million years before seven, 457 00:24:49,160 --> 00:24:51,520 Speaker 1: I guess it would have been eight in January happened. 458 00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:53,880 Speaker 1: Thought Eli had that in the back, and then he did, 459 00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:56,520 Speaker 1: and he actually did it again a couple of years later. Right, 460 00:24:56,560 --> 00:24:58,199 Speaker 1: So you just need to have a stretch. Joe Flacco 461 00:24:58,280 --> 00:25:01,840 Speaker 1: did it. Uh. They definitely have a team who can't compete, 462 00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:04,800 Speaker 1: and it starts with their defense and the Eagles. A 463 00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:08,159 Speaker 1: lot of people especially probably in Philly, were disappointed how 464 00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:11,720 Speaker 1: that game went because you're so good talent wise as 465 00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:14,560 Speaker 1: a roster, and I don't blame you. You view basically 466 00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:17,280 Speaker 1: every opponent, but specifically a team like the Patriots, we 467 00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:20,399 Speaker 1: should win by double digits, especially when we're up sixty 468 00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:24,560 Speaker 1: to nothing, and it just looked pretty rusty. And it's 469 00:25:24,560 --> 00:25:27,159 Speaker 1: not really that shocking. I saw Sirianni say that I 470 00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:28,960 Speaker 1: gotta think twice about playing some of these guys in 471 00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:31,240 Speaker 1: the preseason. None of their starters played in the preseason, 472 00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:35,240 Speaker 1: not a snap, not one. So the notion that you're 473 00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:37,640 Speaker 1: just gonna go on the road against a very good 474 00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:41,480 Speaker 1: defense and just look super crisp, that's not usually how 475 00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:43,800 Speaker 1: it works. Now, just because you play in the preseason 476 00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:46,879 Speaker 1: check out the Steelers, doesn't mean that you're gonna hit 477 00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:49,520 Speaker 1: the ground running. So there is no correct formula. But 478 00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:53,240 Speaker 1: anyone who has watched the Eagles play could tell they 479 00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:56,920 Speaker 1: were off. Now. One thing I saw is I have 480 00:25:57,000 --> 00:26:00,600 Speaker 1: faith that their passing game will improve as the season 481 00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:03,600 Speaker 1: goes along. Hell, they play in about, you know, fifty 482 00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:05,760 Speaker 1: hours from recording this right now. They play Thursday night 483 00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:09,560 Speaker 1: football at home against Minnesota. But I do think Jalen 484 00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:13,439 Speaker 1: early in his career was a very, very dynamic runner. 485 00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:16,959 Speaker 1: Now he was never Kyler or Lamar fast, but his 486 00:26:17,119 --> 00:26:19,800 Speaker 1: instincts like he could turn into a running back. He 487 00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:23,040 Speaker 1: was so smooth in the open field. He knew angles. 488 00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:25,399 Speaker 1: I saw a guy against the Patriots, and again it 489 00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:27,640 Speaker 1: might have been a little Russ too, who now after 490 00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:29,840 Speaker 1: he got his big contract, almost like the Eagles have 491 00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:32,080 Speaker 1: told him, we need you to be very careful when 492 00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:34,640 Speaker 1: you run because last year you gave us a big 493 00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:37,680 Speaker 1: time scare when your shoulder got hit and we were 494 00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:40,120 Speaker 1: nervous that. I think even Jalen said this, I thought 495 00:26:40,119 --> 00:26:43,119 Speaker 1: I broke my clavicle. And I watched a guy who 496 00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:47,160 Speaker 1: just a little hesitant as he's running. Not that he's 497 00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:51,600 Speaker 1: not confident, he's just less likely to be reckless. And 498 00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:53,199 Speaker 1: I know at the end of the game when he 499 00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:56,840 Speaker 1: fumbled that he was a little bit. But the overall package, 500 00:26:56,880 --> 00:27:00,360 Speaker 1: to me, I do think he is going to lean 501 00:27:00,560 --> 00:27:02,639 Speaker 1: much more moving forward. And this is what happens when 502 00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:04,399 Speaker 1: you give a guy a lot of money, is you 503 00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:07,000 Speaker 1: want to see him pass a lot. And luckily they're 504 00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:10,240 Speaker 1: loaded with pass catchers, so that's something to monitor. But 505 00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:12,879 Speaker 1: I saw a lot of rust. I saw a team 506 00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:16,280 Speaker 1: that just, you know, look like that was our first game, 507 00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:19,080 Speaker 1: and they haven't played any meaningful snaps, which they don't 508 00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:21,320 Speaker 1: in the preseason, So I think the Eagles will be fine. 509 00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:23,720 Speaker 1: I think the top three teams in the NFL, or 510 00:27:23,760 --> 00:27:27,520 Speaker 1: excuse me, the NFC, I mean, are separated by a wide, 511 00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:30,440 Speaker 1: wide margin, right, The Giants and the Steelers, two teams 512 00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:32,440 Speaker 1: I liked a lot. Makes you a question You spend 513 00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:35,359 Speaker 1: all off season hyping teams up, trying to make some 514 00:27:35,440 --> 00:27:38,040 Speaker 1: bold predictions. I was like, I think the Giants have 515 00:27:38,280 --> 00:27:41,520 Speaker 1: shortened the talent gap between the Eagles and the Cowboys, 516 00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:43,800 Speaker 1: and then you're watching about fifteen minutes of Sunday Night 517 00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:45,879 Speaker 1: football You're like, yeah, I think I'm wrong on that one. 518 00:27:46,280 --> 00:27:48,760 Speaker 1: And I also am guilty of this sometimes, and I 519 00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:50,320 Speaker 1: was guilty of this and used get made fun of 520 00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:52,439 Speaker 1: when I worked in the NFL. Kind of can be 521 00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:55,000 Speaker 1: anoint someone too fast, and I think a lot of 522 00:27:55,040 --> 00:27:58,760 Speaker 1: young scouts or young people can definitely media people naturally 523 00:27:58,760 --> 00:28:02,359 Speaker 1: do this, probably why transitioned well into the profession of talking. 524 00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:04,840 Speaker 1: I like Brian Daball, and maybe I root for him 525 00:28:04,880 --> 00:28:07,879 Speaker 1: more because chubby bald guy and you know, share some 526 00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:11,320 Speaker 1: qualities with that, But let's see him do it again, right. 527 00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:14,160 Speaker 1: I love what I saw last year, well deserving Coach 528 00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:16,400 Speaker 1: of the Year, but part of being a really good coach, 529 00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:18,879 Speaker 1: and I've seen and I'm guilty of this too, of 530 00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:21,280 Speaker 1: putting him in the position with the top a bunch 531 00:28:21,320 --> 00:28:24,600 Speaker 1: of high end offensive coaches. A lot of those guys 532 00:28:24,600 --> 00:28:28,080 Speaker 1: have been doing it for a long long time. Like ultimately, 533 00:28:28,160 --> 00:28:32,640 Speaker 1: when Sean McVay upsets Seattle on the road and ultimately 534 00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:35,960 Speaker 1: kicks their ass, isn't that shocking, right? You'd think, Well, 535 00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:37,960 Speaker 1: the roster a bunch of nobodies, a bunch of guys 536 00:28:37,960 --> 00:28:40,120 Speaker 1: we haven't heard. But Sean mcvay's got a long resume 537 00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:43,600 Speaker 1: of winning. Like last year was his outlier season. Most 538 00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:46,920 Speaker 1: year's worst case scenario, he's winning nine ten games when 539 00:28:46,920 --> 00:28:50,160 Speaker 1: his team's good, dudes winning like twelve to fourteen. So 540 00:28:50,240 --> 00:28:53,200 Speaker 1: Sean McVay wins. Is Brian day Ball a lock to 541 00:28:53,320 --> 00:28:56,080 Speaker 1: just win ten games? And I put him on that pedestal. 542 00:28:56,560 --> 00:28:59,160 Speaker 1: We'll see, and I'm not blaming at all. Week one 543 00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:02,760 Speaker 1: against the cowboy Boys, bad matchup for them. I think, Dallas, 544 00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:06,480 Speaker 1: what's that twelve to thirteen now, I mean that they've 545 00:29:06,600 --> 00:29:09,320 Speaker 1: owned the Giants, but you're watching the game, you go, well, 546 00:29:09,360 --> 00:29:13,000 Speaker 1: I'm I did put some stock in Daniel Jones taking 547 00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:15,040 Speaker 1: a jump. What if that doesn't happen? What if it 548 00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:17,120 Speaker 1: doesn't I mean, ultimately, I thought Daniel Jones was solid 549 00:29:17,160 --> 00:29:19,640 Speaker 1: last year. He threw fifteen touchdowns, So if he were 550 00:29:19,640 --> 00:29:23,280 Speaker 1: to throw twenty eight, that would be a thirteen touchdown 551 00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:26,320 Speaker 1: difference from the previous That's a big jump, right. Hell 552 00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:29,280 Speaker 1: if he threw twenty two, that'd be seven touchdowns more 553 00:29:29,320 --> 00:29:32,960 Speaker 1: from last year. So maybe I overestimated a little bit 554 00:29:33,040 --> 00:29:36,680 Speaker 1: the growth of Daniel Jones slash. You know, see when 555 00:29:36,760 --> 00:29:39,960 Speaker 1: everyone's gunning for Brian Dable, how it looks. And last, 556 00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:42,680 Speaker 1: but not least, I want to talk about my friends 557 00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:47,280 Speaker 1: at Morgan and Morgan and a player tonight that made 558 00:29:47,320 --> 00:29:49,400 Speaker 1: it look easy. And I thought coming in and I 559 00:29:49,520 --> 00:29:51,360 Speaker 1: I'm like, well, I'm gonna have to go probably with 560 00:29:51,480 --> 00:29:54,880 Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill. He had fifteen touchdowns and seven hundred yards 561 00:29:54,880 --> 00:29:58,560 Speaker 1: against Brandon Staley or maybe his quarterback to you know, 562 00:29:58,640 --> 00:30:01,560 Speaker 1: they made it look easy. And then tonight happened and 563 00:30:01,640 --> 00:30:04,160 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers is laying on the ground and you go, 564 00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:07,200 Speaker 1: how are the Jets going to stay in this game. 565 00:30:07,880 --> 00:30:10,960 Speaker 1: And then a guy, a former fourth round pick, raised 566 00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:14,320 Speaker 1: his hand, looked at Robert Salah and jeff Oldbrook and 567 00:30:14,360 --> 00:30:17,120 Speaker 1: his name was Jordan Whitehead, and he said, Quinn Williams 568 00:30:17,120 --> 00:30:19,960 Speaker 1: and all the d linemen, I got you, fellas. I'm 569 00:30:19,960 --> 00:30:26,120 Speaker 1: gonna have not one, not two, but three interceptions. Three 570 00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:29,920 Speaker 1: interceptions on Josh Allen, who's widely considered, I don't know, 571 00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:33,280 Speaker 1: a top two or three quarterback, and it had to 572 00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:35,760 Speaker 1: be one of the game of his guy's life, going 573 00:30:35,800 --> 00:30:39,080 Speaker 1: back to like Junior High on Monday night football. In 574 00:30:39,120 --> 00:30:42,880 Speaker 1: that situation, two of those interceptions, especially the last one, 575 00:30:43,360 --> 00:30:46,920 Speaker 1: was just gigantic. You can't have a better game if 576 00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:48,520 Speaker 1: you are a safety. I mean the guy looked like 577 00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:50,680 Speaker 1: Ed Reid, I mean Ronnie Lott. I mean he's gonna 578 00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:54,240 Speaker 1: be telling his grandkids remember on Monday Night football, Aaron 579 00:30:54,320 --> 00:30:57,080 Speaker 1: Rodgers laying on the ground.

I no longer and if you are 616 00:33:06,040 --> 00:33:09,760 Speaker 1: new to this show, I have been. I read flag 617 00:33:09,840 --> 00:33:13,840 Speaker 1: this guy well before became popular. I read flag this 618 00:33:13,960 --> 00:33:17,440 Speaker 1: guy well before twenty twenty two and that playoff game 619 00:33:17,520 --> 00:33:21,440 Speaker 1: ever happened. For those longtime listeners, you guys have known 620 00:33:21,560 --> 00:33:25,040 Speaker 1: where I've stood on this individual when he first started 621 00:33:25,080 --> 00:33:27,640 Speaker 1: becoming the head coach, and honestly, even before that, I've 622 00:33:27,640 --> 00:33:30,280 Speaker 1: been hearing this guy's name not a Brandon Stay fan. 623 00:33:30,360 --> 00:33:33,560 Speaker 1: Definitely as a head coach defensive coordinator. We've only seen 624 00:33:33,600 --> 00:33:35,720 Speaker 1: him one year, got a stack team. But this is 625 00:33:35,720 --> 00:33:40,480 Speaker 1: about Sunday against the Miami Dolphins. And listen, Tyreek Hill 626 00:33:40,640 --> 00:33:43,760 Speaker 1: isn't just currently you know, a top five ten non 627 00:33:43,840 --> 00:33:47,720 Speaker 1: quarterback in the NFL offensively or defensively. He's truly one 628 00:33:47,720 --> 00:33:50,720 Speaker 1: of the greatest players in the history of the sport. 629 00:33:51,080 --> 00:33:54,080 Speaker 1: I've been watching football that I can remember now since 630 00:33:54,120 --> 00:33:57,760 Speaker 1: the early nineties. I think if I was thinking this yesterday, 631 00:33:57,760 --> 00:34:01,840 Speaker 1: when he was just going nuts, you could argue that 632 00:34:02,120 --> 00:34:04,880 Speaker 1: the greatest wide receiver Jerry Rice. The second greatest wide 633 00:34:04,880 --> 00:34:07,320 Speaker 1: receiver is Randy Moss, and you could argue this guy's 634 00:34:07,320 --> 00:34:10,319 Speaker 1: the third greatest wide receiver now Torello. There are other 635 00:34:10,400 --> 00:34:12,279 Speaker 1: names that are gonna get thrown out there, but I 636 00:34:12,280 --> 00:34:15,120 Speaker 1: think when the dust settles this guy, clearly he's a 637 00:34:15,239 --> 00:34:18,640 Speaker 1: top five lock. I think he might be considered in 638 00:34:18,719 --> 00:34:23,880 Speaker 1: that class by Jerry. You know, Jerry's got four rings. Obviously, 639 00:34:24,080 --> 00:34:26,840 Speaker 1: Randy Moss I don't think he ever got one. But 640 00:34:27,680 --> 00:34:29,720 Speaker 1: this guy, you could argue he's every bit as dominant 641 00:34:29,840 --> 00:34:32,760 Speaker 1: Randy Moss. To be honest, with you. So listen, anytime 642 00:34:32,800 --> 00:34:35,160 Speaker 1: you play a great player, he's gonna beat you, right, 643 00:34:35,200 --> 00:34:37,799 Speaker 1: I don't care what sport it is. In basketball, they 644 00:34:37,840 --> 00:34:40,680 Speaker 1: always says great offense always beats great defense. You could 645 00:34:40,680 --> 00:34:43,320 Speaker 1: put the greatest defender on Michael Jordan or Steph Curry, 646 00:34:43,320 --> 00:34:45,400 Speaker 1: they're gonna get theirs. But there comes a point, and 647 00:34:45,400 --> 00:34:47,440 Speaker 1: I talked about this with Colin, where you draw the 648 00:34:47,440 --> 00:34:49,960 Speaker 1: fucking line in the sand. You say no, Moss, that 649 00:34:50,120 --> 00:34:53,000 Speaker 1: this is not gonna keep happening. And I'm no longer 650 00:34:53,080 --> 00:34:56,359 Speaker 1: gonna be critical of Brandon Staley. This is not about him. 651 00:34:56,680 --> 00:34:59,600 Speaker 1: This is about the franchise and the ownership and really 652 00:34:59,600 --> 00:35:03,080 Speaker 1: that's star with the Spanos family Dean who inherited it 653 00:35:03,160 --> 00:35:06,200 Speaker 1: from his dad. And I truly believe this. I'm not 654 00:35:06,239 --> 00:35:08,640 Speaker 1: just saying this to like try to sound funny. I 655 00:35:08,680 --> 00:35:11,480 Speaker 1: think being cheap when you have a lot of money 656 00:35:11,800 --> 00:35:16,160 Speaker 1: is a legit disease. It's something you can't shake. If 657 00:35:16,239 --> 00:35:18,359 Speaker 1: you're listening to this and you don't have a lot 658 00:35:18,360 --> 00:35:21,400 Speaker 1: of money and you're cheap and you're frugal, totally understand. 659 00:35:21,960 --> 00:35:25,160 Speaker 1: I haven't received a W two in eight plus years. 660 00:35:25,560 --> 00:35:27,960 Speaker 1: Things are going pretty well right now. Those first couple 661 00:35:27,920 --> 00:35:31,640 Speaker 1: of years were an mfor I mean, they were fucking hard. 662 00:35:32,440 --> 00:35:36,799 Speaker 1: And I completely understand of being tight with money and 663 00:35:36,840 --> 00:35:39,560 Speaker 1: being consumed with thinking about it and being worried about 664 00:35:39,560 --> 00:35:42,719 Speaker 1: it because you can't sometimes even think big picture when 665 00:35:42,719 --> 00:35:46,640 Speaker 1: you're living week to week, rent to rent, you just 666 00:35:46,640 --> 00:35:49,319 Speaker 1: don't have any money, it's tough. But when you get 667 00:35:49,360 --> 00:35:51,040 Speaker 1: a lot of money. And I've always said this, I 668 00:35:51,080 --> 00:35:54,320 Speaker 1: love Tiger Woods. He's probably him and Jordan are my 669 00:35:54,400 --> 00:35:58,640 Speaker 1: two favorite athletes of all time. Tiger is notoriously cheap, right, 670 00:35:58,800 --> 00:36:01,759 Speaker 1: I understand when Tiger young not figuring it out, like 671 00:36:01,800 --> 00:36:04,840 Speaker 1: at forty five years old, there's no excuse the story 672 00:36:04,880 --> 00:36:07,160 Speaker 1: coming out that, like he takes the Navy Seals and 673 00:36:07,200 --> 00:36:09,520 Speaker 1: the Marines out for burgers and doesn't pick up the 674 00:36:09,560 --> 00:36:12,480 Speaker 1: tab like I'm sorry like that, that's on you, buddy, 675 00:36:13,040 --> 00:36:16,200 Speaker 1: that's a problem. And Dean Spanos and listen, I remember 676 00:36:16,280 --> 00:36:18,799 Speaker 1: Greg Papa, who now is the voice of the forty 677 00:36:18,920 --> 00:36:22,920 Speaker 1: nine Ers, longtime voice of the Raiders, had a misunderstanding 678 00:36:22,960 --> 00:36:26,759 Speaker 1: with Mark Davis, ironically over Kyle Shanahan's father, who he 679 00:36:26,800 --> 00:36:28,960 Speaker 1: didn't want him to interview because he was Al Davis's 680 00:36:28,960 --> 00:36:32,000 Speaker 1: mortal enemy and Mark Davis ultimately fired him. But he 681 00:36:32,040 --> 00:36:34,480 Speaker 1: told me a story one time about JaMarcus Russell. And 682 00:36:34,520 --> 00:36:36,839 Speaker 1: if you remember, this is a long time ago now, 683 00:36:37,040 --> 00:36:40,560 Speaker 1: but JaMarcus was in that era where first round pick, 684 00:36:40,640 --> 00:36:42,520 Speaker 1: especially high picks. He was a number one overall pick, 685 00:36:42,600 --> 00:36:44,919 Speaker 1: got a lot of money at the time. I don't 686 00:36:44,920 --> 00:36:47,200 Speaker 1: know what his signing bonus was, twenty twenty five, thirty 687 00:36:47,200 --> 00:36:51,120 Speaker 1: million dollars and this is, you know, mid two thousands, right. Well, Al, 688 00:36:51,440 --> 00:36:53,759 Speaker 1: just like a lot of the NFL owners now, the 689 00:36:53,760 --> 00:36:56,840 Speaker 1: amount of money they're making from TV is not nearly 690 00:36:56,880 --> 00:36:58,839 Speaker 1: the same as it once was. Well, at the time 691 00:36:58,920 --> 00:37:02,040 Speaker 1: you had to cut the bonus check immediately. He did 692 00:37:02,040 --> 00:37:05,960 Speaker 1: not have the money. And this is fifteen eighteen years ago. 693 00:37:06,160 --> 00:37:08,799 Speaker 1: Times have dramatically changed. Even if you are on the 694 00:37:09,040 --> 00:37:12,880 Speaker 1: lower end of wealth, right you're not a Walton or 695 00:37:12,920 --> 00:37:16,160 Speaker 1: a Harris or even what Jerry Jones and Robert Kraft 696 00:37:16,160 --> 00:37:18,560 Speaker 1: are now, you still have a ton of money because 697 00:37:18,600 --> 00:37:20,680 Speaker 1: every single year you're getting three hundred and fifty three 698 00:37:20,719 --> 00:37:22,960 Speaker 1: hundred and seventy five just from the TV deals, let 699 00:37:22,960 --> 00:37:24,600 Speaker 1: alone from all the other money. Even if you're a 700 00:37:24,600 --> 00:37:27,439 Speaker 1: shitty run franchise, what you're making in your stadium, right, 701 00:37:27,600 --> 00:37:31,040 Speaker 1: So there is no excuse for being cheap. And to me, 702 00:37:31,160 --> 00:37:35,440 Speaker 1: Dean Spanos was handed a mull again this offseason. Sean 703 00:37:35,520 --> 00:37:38,800 Speaker 1: Payton was not only working for Fox, he was spending 704 00:37:38,840 --> 00:37:41,959 Speaker 1: a ton of time in Los Angeles. Colin talked about 705 00:37:41,960 --> 00:37:44,640 Speaker 1: this all the time. He clearly loved it, loved being 706 00:37:44,680 --> 00:37:48,239 Speaker 1: by the beach, felt revitalized, and openly talked about how 707 00:37:48,280 --> 00:37:51,560 Speaker 1: awesome Justin Herbert was. Now. Listen, we can argue all 708 00:37:51,640 --> 00:37:54,200 Speaker 1: day long till the cows come home, how good Sean 709 00:37:54,239 --> 00:37:56,720 Speaker 1: Payton is. Right, well, is he a top five coach? 710 00:37:56,920 --> 00:38:00,480 Speaker 1: He's clearly in a different fucking universe than Brandon and Saley, 711 00:38:00,680 --> 00:38:02,799 Speaker 1: like they have nothing in common when it comes to 712 00:38:02,880 --> 00:38:06,200 Speaker 1: being a head coach in the NFL. The thing what 713 00:38:06,280 --> 00:38:08,480 Speaker 1: Sean Payton was, and you saw what the Waltons you 714 00:38:08,520 --> 00:38:10,600 Speaker 1: had to pay him. He wasn't gonna take your job 715 00:38:11,040 --> 00:38:14,839 Speaker 1: just because he liked your players for nine million dollars, right, 716 00:38:14,920 --> 00:38:17,400 Speaker 1: And the Spano says, just look at their last several 717 00:38:17,440 --> 00:38:21,160 Speaker 1: coaches have all been cheap hires. And listen, I'm in 718 00:38:21,160 --> 00:38:23,120 Speaker 1: the middle of a big remodel right now. I have 719 00:38:23,239 --> 00:38:26,359 Speaker 1: spent an astronaut all my money. I mean, I've spent 720 00:38:26,480 --> 00:38:29,120 Speaker 1: a ton of money on this remodel, and now I 721 00:38:29,160 --> 00:38:31,120 Speaker 1: got to buy furniture, and it's like, well, could I 722 00:38:31,160 --> 00:38:33,160 Speaker 1: go cheap on the furniture. It's like, well, what's the 723 00:38:33,160 --> 00:38:36,239 Speaker 1: point of putting hundreds and thousands of dollars into this 724 00:38:36,360 --> 00:38:39,600 Speaker 1: home to then have it look crappy once it's furnished? Right, 725 00:38:39,719 --> 00:38:42,560 Speaker 1: So you almost got to double down. What is the 726 00:38:42,600 --> 00:38:47,080 Speaker 1: point of giving Justin Herbert almost two hundred million dollars 727 00:38:48,160 --> 00:38:51,040 Speaker 1: and have an average to below average coach and not 728 00:38:51,120 --> 00:38:54,759 Speaker 1: even try to upgrade at that spot? Right? Part of 729 00:38:54,800 --> 00:38:57,840 Speaker 1: being a good any business, I don't care what industry 730 00:38:58,040 --> 00:39:03,759 Speaker 1: you're in, is to not be at the most important things. 731 00:39:03,560 --> 00:39:07,440 Speaker 1: It makes no sense. And in football, the two most 732 00:39:07,480 --> 00:39:10,640 Speaker 1: important things you can have are your head coach, who 733 00:39:10,680 --> 00:39:14,759 Speaker 1: in this case is also a play caller in your quarterback. Well, 734 00:39:14,880 --> 00:39:17,880 Speaker 1: teams clearly around the league have no problems paying the 735 00:39:17,960 --> 00:39:21,840 Speaker 1: quarterback anymore, but there are teams that still get frugal 736 00:39:22,040 --> 00:39:25,680 Speaker 1: and save a couple million dollars on the head coach. 737 00:39:26,120 --> 00:39:28,840 Speaker 1: It's fucking embarrassing. Like, I just think you're a loser, 738 00:39:28,920 --> 00:39:32,520 Speaker 1: Like you don't understand anything, and clearly you would not 739 00:39:32,600 --> 00:39:35,840 Speaker 1: own this team if it wasn't from your grandpa or 740 00:39:35,880 --> 00:39:38,880 Speaker 1: your dad. And I'm not one of those you know 741 00:39:39,000 --> 00:39:42,520 Speaker 1: kind of radicals that like get consumed with people that 742 00:39:42,640 --> 00:39:45,040 Speaker 1: inherit things. Because you look around the NFL is a 743 00:39:45,040 --> 00:39:47,960 Speaker 1: good example. Clark hunts running a high level operation. He's 744 00:39:48,000 --> 00:39:50,520 Speaker 1: willing to spend fifteen twenty million dollars on a head coach. 745 00:39:51,400 --> 00:39:54,080 Speaker 1: I mean so, just because you inherit something doesn't mean 746 00:39:54,120 --> 00:39:57,520 Speaker 1: you're not capable like this. It's an individual thing. I 747 00:39:57,560 --> 00:40:00,080 Speaker 1: look at individuals in business no different than in to 748 00:40:00,160 --> 00:40:03,440 Speaker 1: visual players. Every player, every human is their own story, 749 00:40:03,520 --> 00:40:07,520 Speaker 1: and in this situation, they're historically cheap. Like I don't 750 00:40:07,520 --> 00:40:10,080 Speaker 1: even give you credit for paying justin Herbert, like that 751 00:40:10,160 --> 00:40:12,759 Speaker 1: must have been a tough call. It's I say this 752 00:40:12,840 --> 00:40:16,520 Speaker 1: all the time. This television money now is monopoly money. 753 00:40:16,960 --> 00:40:20,040 Speaker 1: Anyone in the last listening to this sold their home 754 00:40:20,560 --> 00:40:23,480 Speaker 1: in the last Right now is not great, but six 755 00:40:23,520 --> 00:40:26,360 Speaker 1: months before right now and over the last couple of 756 00:40:26,400 --> 00:40:30,319 Speaker 1: years and made several hundred thousand dollars, five hundred thousand dollars, 757 00:40:30,360 --> 00:40:33,560 Speaker 1: a million dollars. That doesn't feel like the money you 758 00:40:33,680 --> 00:40:36,560 Speaker 1: make when you work for something right, whatever you do 759 00:40:36,680 --> 00:40:38,920 Speaker 1: for a job, when you get paid, I put in 760 00:40:39,000 --> 00:40:41,680 Speaker 1: time equity to earn this money. When you buy a home, 761 00:40:41,719 --> 00:40:43,399 Speaker 1: you're like, like, that's an easy five hundred and six 762 00:40:43,440 --> 00:40:45,600 Speaker 1: hundred thousand dollars, even though in theory you live there 763 00:40:45,640 --> 00:40:48,080 Speaker 1: you paid the mortgage, it feels like free money. That's 764 00:40:48,120 --> 00:40:50,560 Speaker 1: the same thing to me, this television money is because 765 00:40:50,600 --> 00:40:52,960 Speaker 1: you don't have to win or lose to generate the 766 00:40:53,000 --> 00:40:55,880 Speaker 1: money what you actually make in your home games and 767 00:40:55,920 --> 00:40:58,840 Speaker 1: your sweet money. You have to earn that. But in 768 00:40:58,920 --> 00:41:01,880 Speaker 1: terms of the money the lead cut you from NBCCBS 769 00:41:01,920 --> 00:41:05,160 Speaker 1: and Fox, like, give me a break. You know, it's 770 00:41:05,160 --> 00:41:06,640 Speaker 1: not like the Chargers will win a lot of playoff 771 00:41:06,640 --> 00:41:08,600 Speaker 1: games over that time. Hell, they were not even really 772 00:41:08,600 --> 00:41:11,640 Speaker 1: making the playoffs over the last decade. So the Spanos 773 00:41:11,680 --> 00:41:15,160 Speaker 1: family really and as a lover of Justin Herbert and honestly, 774 00:41:15,200 --> 00:41:18,160 Speaker 1: I like their franchise just in terms of the players 775 00:41:18,160 --> 00:41:20,400 Speaker 1: that have played for I root for West Coast teams. 776 00:41:20,520 --> 00:41:22,200 Speaker 1: That's why it hurts me that the Pac twelve is 777 00:41:22,239 --> 00:41:25,600 Speaker 1: disappearing because I like the teams from the region where 778 00:41:25,640 --> 00:41:28,320 Speaker 1: I'm from, and the Chargers are a team that I 779 00:41:28,719 --> 00:41:31,160 Speaker 1: just watch a lot. Obviously, I just end up watching 780 00:41:31,200 --> 00:41:34,239 Speaker 1: a lot of NFC and AFC West football, but I 781 00:41:34,360 --> 00:41:37,719 Speaker 1: find them riveting with Justin Herbert. Yet I know what 782 00:41:37,760 --> 00:41:40,440 Speaker 1: the outcome is gonna be. Their head coach is gonna 783 00:41:40,440 --> 00:41:43,000 Speaker 1: fuck it up. And on Sunday when you have this 784 00:41:43,080 --> 00:41:46,920 Speaker 1: guy who is just going nuts, I'm not Bill Parcells 785 00:41:46,960 --> 00:41:49,600 Speaker 1: here on a whiteboard scheming it up with Bill Belichick's 786 00:41:49,640 --> 00:41:52,680 Speaker 1: next to me. I don't pretend to know more defensive 787 00:41:52,680 --> 00:41:55,400 Speaker 1: football than Brandon Staley, but I also have been watching 788 00:41:55,440 --> 00:41:58,520 Speaker 1: football long enough to know what you're doing is not working. 789 00:41:58,960 --> 00:42:03,080 Speaker 1: Bill Belichick said on the Top one hundred Players, and 790 00:42:03,560 --> 00:42:06,000 Speaker 1: it was so simplistic, but it was so correct, Like 791 00:42:06,160 --> 00:42:10,200 Speaker 1: sometimes we overcomplicate football, like take strengths, put them against 792 00:42:10,239 --> 00:42:13,400 Speaker 1: their weaknesses. Take weaknesses and try to avoid them against 793 00:42:13,440 --> 00:42:15,920 Speaker 1: their strengths, Like that's kind of what football is. And 794 00:42:16,000 --> 00:42:18,439 Speaker 1: this guy who is one of the fastest players, if 795 00:42:18,440 --> 00:42:21,120 Speaker 1: not the fastest player in league history. I'm not talking 796 00:42:21,160 --> 00:42:23,279 Speaker 1: about actual forty times. I'm talking about the way the 797 00:42:23,320 --> 00:42:25,600 Speaker 1: dude plays. So just to have him out there on 798 00:42:25,600 --> 00:42:27,839 Speaker 1: one on one coverage when your corner clearly doesn't really 799 00:42:27,880 --> 00:42:30,840 Speaker 1: know what he's doing and is not playing well is malpractice. 800 00:42:31,000 --> 00:42:33,640 Speaker 1: But again, to put this at Brandon Staley, like, this 801 00:42:33,840 --> 00:42:36,759 Speaker 1: is on the ownership they signed up for this, So 802 00:42:36,880 --> 00:42:38,920 Speaker 1: if you're a Charger fan, if you're someone that gambled 803 00:42:38,960 --> 00:42:42,400 Speaker 1: on them, this is on their ownership. This is because 804 00:42:42,480 --> 00:42:45,719 Speaker 1: I'll give you the Dolphins, who are a chaotic franchise, 805 00:42:45,800 --> 00:42:48,800 Speaker 1: clearly always getting in trouble with the league, doing weird shit. 806 00:42:49,160 --> 00:42:52,120 Speaker 1: Their owner, who has a ton of money, is always 807 00:42:52,160 --> 00:42:56,040 Speaker 1: willing to try shit, trying to hire Harbaugh, stealing Shanahan's 808 00:42:56,040 --> 00:42:59,520 Speaker 1: best guy, try to sign Brady like he's just always 809 00:42:59,800 --> 00:43:03,480 Speaker 1: take and swings. He's using his money, which last time 810 00:43:03,520 --> 00:43:06,960 Speaker 1: I checked, he made, and he knows that doubling down 811 00:43:07,000 --> 00:43:11,040 Speaker 1: on important things matter. And his coach, who I've been 812 00:43:11,080 --> 00:43:13,560 Speaker 1: falling because he was on Kyle Shannan's staff for a 813 00:43:13,600 --> 00:43:16,520 Speaker 1: long time now, Courtney dude. But he knows what he's 814 00:43:16,560 --> 00:43:20,400 Speaker 1: doing and clearly as a play caller offensively knows how 815 00:43:20,440 --> 00:43:23,640 Speaker 1: to get his best players in position to succeed. And 816 00:43:23,719 --> 00:43:25,840 Speaker 1: I don't think the same can be said about Brandon Stalely. 817 00:43:26,000 --> 00:43:28,560 Speaker 1: But we didn't learn that on Sunday. We knew that 818 00:43:28,719 --> 00:43:31,960 Speaker 1: last year that he's overwhelmed with his decisions, his defensive 819 00:43:32,000 --> 00:43:34,920 Speaker 1: play calling in big moments always lets you down, especially 820 00:43:34,960 --> 00:43:37,719 Speaker 1: against good teams. What are the Dolphins very talented team? 821 00:43:38,000 --> 00:43:40,840 Speaker 1: What was the playoff game against the Jags very talented team? 822 00:43:41,120 --> 00:43:44,160 Speaker 1: No one cares when you beat average to below average teams. 823 00:43:44,520 --> 00:43:46,799 Speaker 1: You have to beat these good teams because you're trying 824 00:43:46,800 --> 00:43:49,560 Speaker 1: to make a little jit run. So I just think 825 00:43:49,600 --> 00:43:52,640 Speaker 1: that that one's on Deeed spanos Man just just a 826 00:43:52,640 --> 00:43:57,400 Speaker 1: complete embarrassment. Let's get to the Patriot game and on 827 00:43:57,480 --> 00:43:59,880 Speaker 1: the Patriots specifically. And I was thinking this and I 828 00:44:00,080 --> 00:44:01,880 Speaker 1: talk to Colin a little bit about it, but watching 829 00:44:02,040 --> 00:44:05,640 Speaker 1: Anthony Richardson, it's why I'm a believer in taking big swings, 830 00:44:06,160 --> 00:44:08,560 Speaker 1: because when you take a big swing, there's no guarantee 831 00:44:08,560 --> 00:44:11,359 Speaker 1: you're gonna hit any quarterback when you draft right. There 832 00:44:11,400 --> 00:44:14,719 Speaker 1: are I guess a few, you know, sure things over 833 00:44:14,920 --> 00:44:18,120 Speaker 1: the history of the league. L Way, Peyton, Manning, Luck, 834 00:44:18,960 --> 00:44:20,840 Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence. You just know we're gonna be good. You 835 00:44:20,840 --> 00:44:22,759 Speaker 1: don't know if they're gonna be like all time great good, 836 00:44:22,840 --> 00:44:25,920 Speaker 1: but they're gonna be good. And when you look at 837 00:44:26,360 --> 00:44:30,560 Speaker 1: Mac Jones and Kenny Pickett, for those guys to be good, 838 00:44:31,160 --> 00:44:34,840 Speaker 1: they have to exceed and be perfect in terms of 839 00:44:34,840 --> 00:44:37,440 Speaker 1: their game. Right, for Anthony Richardson to be good, he 840 00:44:37,520 --> 00:44:40,239 Speaker 1: just needs to be pretty accurate and run around. It 841 00:44:40,320 --> 00:44:42,120 Speaker 1: just makes him shit happen. Now that doesn't mean he's 842 00:44:42,120 --> 00:44:44,040 Speaker 1: ever gonna be a Pro Bowl or whatever, but his 843 00:44:44,120 --> 00:44:48,160 Speaker 1: ability just to hit a floor right is easier to 844 00:44:48,200 --> 00:44:50,879 Speaker 1: get to if he is just solid, where if mac 845 00:44:50,960 --> 00:44:53,279 Speaker 1: Jones is just solid, he's not gonna be any good. 846 00:44:53,520 --> 00:44:56,560 Speaker 1: If Kenny Pickett is just solid, good luck. Right, And 847 00:44:56,600 --> 00:44:59,480 Speaker 1: you saw mac Jones who actually after the first quarter 848 00:44:59,600 --> 00:45:01,880 Speaker 1: kind of got it together and made a lot of 849 00:45:01,920 --> 00:45:04,920 Speaker 1: really good throws, but early on, and this has plagued 850 00:45:04,960 --> 00:45:07,560 Speaker 1: him his entire career. Part of the reason Kyle Shanahan 851 00:45:07,680 --> 00:45:10,200 Speaker 1: loved mac Jones, which I thought was insane, drafted him 852 00:45:10,200 --> 00:45:12,279 Speaker 1: at number three overall, and he clearly regrets because if 853 00:45:12,280 --> 00:45:14,200 Speaker 1: he could do it over, even though brock Perty's better 854 00:45:14,239 --> 00:45:15,680 Speaker 1: than mac Jones, but you know what I mean, Kyle 855 00:45:15,760 --> 00:45:18,000 Speaker 1: Shanner could do it over, he just would have taken 856 00:45:18,040 --> 00:45:20,480 Speaker 1: mac Jones there, not Trey Lance. But the problem with 857 00:45:20,520 --> 00:45:22,400 Speaker 1: mac Jones of drafting him, you're like, well, he's just 858 00:45:22,400 --> 00:45:25,200 Speaker 1: gonna be very accurate, not turn the ball over. Yet 859 00:45:25,200 --> 00:45:26,839 Speaker 1: in the pros he turns the ball over a lot. 860 00:45:27,200 --> 00:45:29,839 Speaker 1: He makes decisions. It's like, what are you doing? Well, 861 00:45:29,880 --> 00:45:33,120 Speaker 1: why are you making that throw? Because you're not good 862 00:45:33,239 --> 00:45:36,400 Speaker 1: enough to bounce it out on the other end. And yesterday, 863 00:45:36,440 --> 00:45:38,880 Speaker 1: the difference in that game was the pick six. And 864 00:45:38,920 --> 00:45:41,000 Speaker 1: this is the other thing that I always wondered. When 865 00:45:41,000 --> 00:45:44,879 Speaker 1: you draft a guy in the northeast kind of area, right, 866 00:45:45,000 --> 00:45:49,040 Speaker 1: I would say Pittsburgh to Baltimore, Philly, Washington, up through 867 00:45:49,080 --> 00:45:53,239 Speaker 1: New York and Boston. The weather is just crazy over there, right. 868 00:45:54,040 --> 00:45:57,800 Speaker 1: It rains in September, it gets freezing cold in November, December, 869 00:45:57,840 --> 00:46:01,200 Speaker 1: and January. You have to be able to play in 870 00:46:01,200 --> 00:46:04,520 Speaker 1: inclement weather. Think about some of the best quarterbacks over 871 00:46:04,560 --> 00:46:08,120 Speaker 1: the years, just the last couple of decades. Obviously Tom incredible, 872 00:46:08,160 --> 00:46:11,600 Speaker 1: cold weather quarterback. Eli Banning could play in the cold 873 00:46:11,640 --> 00:46:17,160 Speaker 1: weather forever in Philadelphia, Donovan McNabb, big arm, big strong guy, 874 00:46:17,480 --> 00:46:20,879 Speaker 1: cold weather guy. I'm not saying they're all perfect beside Tom, 875 00:46:21,280 --> 00:46:24,800 Speaker 1: but you gotta have some Mac Jones started raining, Florida 876 00:46:24,840 --> 00:46:28,439 Speaker 1: guy went to Alabama. Inclement weather, that's not really his thing. 877 00:46:28,920 --> 00:46:30,839 Speaker 1: It's raining early in that game, and what happens, ball 878 00:46:30,920 --> 00:46:32,279 Speaker 1: kind of slips out of his hands and goes high 879 00:46:32,320 --> 00:46:34,480 Speaker 1: pick six. I'm not trying to write off the Patriots 880 00:46:34,520 --> 00:46:37,200 Speaker 1: because they did show some heart, they did chose some metal. Clearly, 881 00:46:37,239 --> 00:46:41,520 Speaker 1: Bill O'Brien is a massive, massive upgrade. And again Mac 882 00:46:41,600 --> 00:46:45,319 Speaker 1: had a good stretch in that game. But man, I 883 00:46:45,480 --> 00:46:48,560 Speaker 1: just when you're betting on a guy who has to 884 00:46:48,600 --> 00:46:51,040 Speaker 1: be perfect for you to beat good teams, and think 885 00:46:51,080 --> 00:46:54,080 Speaker 1: about this. We already know right away those divisional games 886 00:46:54,120 --> 00:46:56,960 Speaker 1: are gonna be really, really hard. So they still got 887 00:46:56,960 --> 00:46:59,960 Speaker 1: six of those remaining. I just I don't I don't see. 888 00:47:00,560 --> 00:47:02,560 Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be a huge challenge. Same goes 889 00:47:02,560 --> 00:47:06,440 Speaker 1: with Kenny Pickett. Sometimes I overvalue. You know, Kenny, in 890 00:47:06,480 --> 00:47:10,080 Speaker 1: theory has more talent around him than Mac, but their 891 00:47:10,239 --> 00:47:13,960 Speaker 1: margin Ferreer is just so much smaller than the talented guys. 892 00:47:14,360 --> 00:47:17,240 Speaker 1: A couple other guys who were in new Spots, Jimmy 893 00:47:17,280 --> 00:47:21,280 Speaker 1: g and Derek Carr. I'm a big believer in any 894 00:47:21,320 --> 00:47:25,080 Speaker 1: famous job, but especially with the quarterback any pro sport, right, 895 00:47:25,360 --> 00:47:28,000 Speaker 1: you need positive momentum early. I don't know if you're 896 00:47:28,040 --> 00:47:30,799 Speaker 1: big baseball people, but if you've watched the story with 897 00:47:30,880 --> 00:47:33,560 Speaker 1: Trey Turner, they gave him three hundred million dollars goes 898 00:47:33,560 --> 00:47:36,600 Speaker 1: to the Phillies is just horrendous. I mean, it's having 899 00:47:36,600 --> 00:47:40,120 Speaker 1: a historically bad year. Someone online says we should start 900 00:47:40,200 --> 00:47:42,160 Speaker 1: cheering him. So every time he came up, they gave 901 00:47:42,200 --> 00:47:44,440 Speaker 1: him like a standing ovation. He broke out of the slump. 902 00:47:44,480 --> 00:47:47,759 Speaker 1: He started dominating, but early on it was pretty ugly, right, 903 00:47:47,920 --> 00:47:51,319 Speaker 1: no positive momentum, because anytime you go to a new place, hell, 904 00:47:51,520 --> 00:47:54,479 Speaker 1: most of us, if you get a new job, it's 905 00:47:54,640 --> 00:47:57,880 Speaker 1: that first couple of weeks, a couple months, six months, 906 00:47:58,120 --> 00:48:00,839 Speaker 1: there's a feeling out process, getting a no people trying 907 00:48:00,840 --> 00:48:02,920 Speaker 1: to get on everyone's good side, even if you're a 908 00:48:02,920 --> 00:48:06,200 Speaker 1: boss like it's just there's a feeling out process. And 909 00:48:06,239 --> 00:48:09,920 Speaker 1: if things start negatively sometimes it's hard to dig yourself 910 00:48:09,960 --> 00:48:12,640 Speaker 1: out of that hole. And I think with these two quarterbacks, 911 00:48:12,719 --> 00:48:16,279 Speaker 1: Jimmy g and Derek Carr, little different situations. Right for 912 00:48:16,320 --> 00:48:19,920 Speaker 1: the Saints, anything less than winning that division will be bad, 913 00:48:20,160 --> 00:48:25,440 Speaker 1: like be embarrassing. They should win that division. Derek's been 914 00:48:25,480 --> 00:48:27,880 Speaker 1: to the playoffs a couple times, He's had good seasons. 915 00:48:28,040 --> 00:48:29,880 Speaker 1: There is no excuse not only for him to be 916 00:48:29,920 --> 00:48:32,600 Speaker 1: the best quarterback in the division, but for that team 917 00:48:32,800 --> 00:48:35,239 Speaker 1: as a group. To win ten eleven games. Look at 918 00:48:35,280 --> 00:48:38,440 Speaker 1: their schedule, and yesterday I'm watching that thing against the 919 00:48:38,440 --> 00:48:42,040 Speaker 1: Titans and the classic varibel making it ugly. His quarterbacks 920 00:48:42,040 --> 00:48:45,800 Speaker 1: thrown interception after interception, cars kind of hit or miss. 921 00:48:46,120 --> 00:48:47,960 Speaker 1: It's like, Derek, you gotta find a way to win 922 00:48:48,000 --> 00:48:50,800 Speaker 1: this game. Throws a big touchdown and then ice is 923 00:48:50,840 --> 00:48:54,160 Speaker 1: the game. And he had some plays that were pretty ugly. 924 00:48:54,239 --> 00:48:56,440 Speaker 1: He's Derek Carr. He's gonna have some bad plays, but 925 00:48:56,719 --> 00:48:58,840 Speaker 1: he made a couple of big plays that were ultimately 926 00:48:58,880 --> 00:49:00,520 Speaker 1: the difference in the game. And I think think having 927 00:49:00,560 --> 00:49:03,480 Speaker 1: that momentum, getting on the right side and winning that 928 00:49:03,560 --> 00:49:08,720 Speaker 1: game for him, having a fan base that loves football obviously, 929 00:49:08,760 --> 00:49:11,680 Speaker 1: football is a really big deal in the South. For himself, 930 00:49:11,719 --> 00:49:14,960 Speaker 1: it's a polarizing individual. That was huge. And I'd say 931 00:49:14,960 --> 00:49:18,200 Speaker 1: the same thing with Jimmy g who is just king 932 00:49:18,320 --> 00:49:21,680 Speaker 1: of red zone interceptions. No one who is a solid 933 00:49:21,719 --> 00:49:25,440 Speaker 1: player will throw a red zone interception in a backbreaking 934 00:49:25,440 --> 00:49:28,920 Speaker 1: time quite like Jimmy Garoppolo. He's one of the easily 935 00:49:28,960 --> 00:49:32,200 Speaker 1: the best looking quarterbacks we've ever seen. He's actually better, 936 00:49:32,400 --> 00:49:36,400 Speaker 1: I think than the average fan realizes. But he is 937 00:49:36,440 --> 00:49:40,600 Speaker 1: a complicated enigma. As a player, because he's never gonna 938 00:49:40,640 --> 00:49:43,120 Speaker 1: be a pro bowler, let alone some top ten guy. 939 00:49:43,640 --> 00:49:46,719 Speaker 1: But clearly, if your operation just knows what they're doing, 940 00:49:46,760 --> 00:49:48,800 Speaker 1: you have a good head coach, you have good players 941 00:49:48,840 --> 00:49:52,000 Speaker 1: around him, you can win games. Jimmy Garoppolo when he 942 00:49:52,040 --> 00:49:54,080 Speaker 1: started at quarterback, now he's had a lot of advantages. 943 00:49:54,239 --> 00:49:56,680 Speaker 1: He's played on really good teams in San Francisco, and 944 00:49:56,719 --> 00:49:58,959 Speaker 1: this Raider team actually has a decent amount of talent. 945 00:49:59,360 --> 00:50:02,279 Speaker 1: You can win them now. The ceiling for the forty 946 00:50:02,360 --> 00:50:04,640 Speaker 1: nine ers was much higher than this Raider team. But 947 00:50:04,680 --> 00:50:07,880 Speaker 1: this Raider team is good enough to be ten plus 948 00:50:07,920 --> 00:50:10,360 Speaker 1: wins and compete for a wildcard spot. I feel pretty 949 00:50:10,360 --> 00:50:13,520 Speaker 1: confident about that. And Jimmy Garoppolo yesterday after that pick, 950 00:50:13,560 --> 00:50:15,600 Speaker 1: I'm like, oh my god, Jimmy, this is how your 951 00:50:15,640 --> 00:50:17,839 Speaker 1: Raider career is going to start, just like this. And 952 00:50:17,880 --> 00:50:19,680 Speaker 1: he just found a way. He made a big run 953 00:50:19,680 --> 00:50:22,560 Speaker 1: at the end of the game. He's diving for first downs, 954 00:50:22,640 --> 00:50:26,120 Speaker 1: made some big throws. His toughness can never be questioned. 955 00:50:26,560 --> 00:50:30,040 Speaker 1: A really really big moment for two guys in a 956 00:50:30,080 --> 00:50:33,000 Speaker 1: weird way are kind of synonymous with each other. Obviously, 957 00:50:33,080 --> 00:50:35,560 Speaker 1: Jimmy's had more playoff success, just given that he's played 958 00:50:35,600 --> 00:50:38,920 Speaker 1: in more playoff games. But they were in the same draft, 959 00:50:39,280 --> 00:50:44,840 Speaker 1: both second round players, and both got really big wins yesterday. Okay, 960 00:50:44,880 --> 00:50:47,279 Speaker 1: the Packers and the Bears. If you listen to the 961 00:50:48,080 --> 00:50:50,840 Speaker 1: Thursday pod, I guess it came out Friday with Stuckey. 962 00:50:51,600 --> 00:50:54,759 Speaker 1: Our take was pretty simple on that game was, if 963 00:50:54,760 --> 00:50:57,600 Speaker 1: you just remove the quarterbacks, right, we had no clue 964 00:50:57,680 --> 00:50:59,399 Speaker 1: what Jordan Love was going to look like. We've never 965 00:50:59,440 --> 00:51:01,360 Speaker 1: seen him. Really, I don't count that Chiefs game a 966 00:51:01,360 --> 00:51:04,080 Speaker 1: couple of years ago, when his girlfriend and mom sat 967 00:51:04,120 --> 00:51:07,319 Speaker 1: at the top of Arrowhead and justin fields, which the 968 00:51:07,360 --> 00:51:10,080 Speaker 1: team had been telling me he'd gotten way better. Time 969 00:51:10,160 --> 00:51:12,279 Speaker 1: was gonna tell if we just removed both of them 970 00:51:12,320 --> 00:51:14,680 Speaker 1: and we just went roster for roster, man for man, 971 00:51:14,800 --> 00:51:19,160 Speaker 1: it was not even a comparison. The Packers team player 972 00:51:19,200 --> 00:51:22,880 Speaker 1: for player was in a different universe than the Bears, 973 00:51:23,000 --> 00:51:25,920 Speaker 1: and rightfully so. The Packers with Rogers have been one 974 00:51:25,920 --> 00:51:28,640 Speaker 1: of the better teams in the league. Fantastic offensive line, 975 00:51:28,640 --> 00:51:30,680 Speaker 1: they got young skill guys, even though one of them 976 00:51:30,719 --> 00:51:33,439 Speaker 1: was injured yesterday, good running backs, a ton of highly 977 00:51:33,560 --> 00:51:39,480 Speaker 1: drafted defensive players. Packer fans, you notice your team is talented, honestly, defensively, 978 00:51:39,480 --> 00:51:41,480 Speaker 1: I think a lot of people thought they've underachieved for 979 00:51:41,560 --> 00:51:44,239 Speaker 1: years with the high end talent they've had. So going 980 00:51:44,280 --> 00:51:47,359 Speaker 1: into that game, regardless of the quarterback play, you had 981 00:51:47,400 --> 00:51:49,120 Speaker 1: to bet the Packers just in the simple fact their 982 00:51:49,120 --> 00:51:51,799 Speaker 1: team was way better and their coach is much more accomplished. 983 00:51:52,400 --> 00:51:54,560 Speaker 1: Yet in that game, I'll say this, I'll start with 984 00:51:54,600 --> 00:51:57,080 Speaker 1: Jordan Love. I'm not gonna have some big opinion on 985 00:51:57,160 --> 00:51:58,839 Speaker 1: him at that game. I think the Bears, and I've 986 00:51:58,880 --> 00:52:01,160 Speaker 1: said this before, and I feel even stronger about today, 987 00:52:01,320 --> 00:52:05,160 Speaker 1: fucking stink that they are a bad football team. They 988 00:52:05,160 --> 00:52:08,120 Speaker 1: are going to compete for the number one drafting team. 989 00:52:08,400 --> 00:52:11,400 Speaker 1: So Jordan Love, good game, missed a couple throws, but 990 00:52:11,480 --> 00:52:14,399 Speaker 1: also hit a nice touchdown, had a sweet throwback play, 991 00:52:14,440 --> 00:52:17,560 Speaker 1: good scheme by Lafloor. Packers just look buttoned up like 992 00:52:17,560 --> 00:52:20,359 Speaker 1: a high level operation. But I'm gonna judge him when 993 00:52:20,360 --> 00:52:23,160 Speaker 1: he plays the better teams. Solid start. I'm not diminishing 994 00:52:23,160 --> 00:52:25,600 Speaker 1: what happened yesterday, but like, let's how do you look 995 00:52:25,640 --> 00:52:28,239 Speaker 1: against the Lions? How do you just look against better competition? 996 00:52:28,400 --> 00:52:30,879 Speaker 1: Time will tell I would say, if you're a Packer, fan, 997 00:52:31,000 --> 00:52:33,160 Speaker 1: you should be excited. That was an exciting win of 998 00:52:33,480 --> 00:52:36,719 Speaker 1: you still own the Bears, regardless who plays quarterback for you. 999 00:52:37,360 --> 00:52:39,840 Speaker 1: And I think that if he is just somewhere in 1000 00:52:39,840 --> 00:52:41,880 Speaker 1: the middle of the pack, he doesn't obviously he's not 1001 00:52:41,880 --> 00:52:43,520 Speaker 1: gonna be a top ten quarterback, but if he can 1002 00:52:43,640 --> 00:52:47,040 Speaker 1: just be just enter the chat of the Jimmy Garoppolos 1003 00:52:47,080 --> 00:52:49,800 Speaker 1: and the Derek carrs kind of that world. Right thirteen 1004 00:52:49,880 --> 00:52:52,720 Speaker 1: through sixteen, you got a chance to make the playoffs, 1005 00:52:52,719 --> 00:52:55,080 Speaker 1: and honestly easily could. But when it comes to the Bears, 1006 00:52:55,120 --> 00:52:57,600 Speaker 1: I've said it for the roster's not good. But a 1007 00:52:57,600 --> 00:52:59,520 Speaker 1: lot of people I think the reaction is, oh, the 1008 00:52:59,520 --> 00:53:02,880 Speaker 1: offensive coordinated for the Bears, what is he doing well? 1009 00:53:02,960 --> 00:53:05,480 Speaker 1: Last year all we talked about was part of the 1010 00:53:05,480 --> 00:53:08,080 Speaker 1: reason they had They didn't really have success because they 1011 00:53:08,120 --> 00:53:10,239 Speaker 1: weren't winning any games, but Justin Fields was just making 1012 00:53:10,239 --> 00:53:14,919 Speaker 1: sweet plays. It's because they operated in a run heavy offense. Right. 1013 00:53:15,000 --> 00:53:17,200 Speaker 1: He was running the ball all the time. And he 1014 00:53:17,360 --> 00:53:20,239 Speaker 1: is He's one of the better athletes we've ever seen. 1015 00:53:20,320 --> 00:53:23,000 Speaker 1: I mean he is. I mean, he's talked about an 1016 00:53:23,000 --> 00:53:26,880 Speaker 1: elite athlete. Justin Fields is an elite athlete. But Ultimately, 1017 00:53:26,920 --> 00:53:29,000 Speaker 1: if I'm gonna judge you can you throw the ball? 1018 00:53:29,400 --> 00:53:31,960 Speaker 1: So I'm gonna scheme plays where it's like I put 1019 00:53:31,960 --> 00:53:35,200 Speaker 1: it on his shoulder. Now, the Packers d line was 1020 00:53:35,600 --> 00:53:40,920 Speaker 1: destroying the Bears up front. They all looked like, it's like, 1021 00:53:40,960 --> 00:53:43,160 Speaker 1: does Nick Bosa, TJ. Watt, and Aaron Donald play for 1022 00:53:43,160 --> 00:53:45,239 Speaker 1: the Packers? Because that's what it looked like they were 1023 00:53:45,480 --> 00:53:49,160 Speaker 1: every other play. But when he had some time, the 1024 00:53:49,239 --> 00:53:52,279 Speaker 1: knock on him is rhythm, timing and seeing it. No 1025 00:53:52,320 --> 00:53:55,600 Speaker 1: one disputes his arm strength and his just ability to 1026 00:53:55,719 --> 00:53:59,120 Speaker 1: kind of freelance when nothing's there. But to be a 1027 00:53:59,160 --> 00:54:02,160 Speaker 1: good NFL corpsquarterback, you have to just nitpick you from 1028 00:54:02,200 --> 00:54:04,959 Speaker 1: the pocket, right Can you just make the throws from 1029 00:54:04,960 --> 00:54:07,760 Speaker 1: the pocket? And right now when you watch justin fields, 1030 00:54:07,760 --> 00:54:09,600 Speaker 1: you're like, he looks exactly like the guy last year. 1031 00:54:09,680 --> 00:54:12,040 Speaker 1: The only difference was yesterday they kind of scrapped run 1032 00:54:12,080 --> 00:54:13,960 Speaker 1: around all the time and just say, hey, beat him 1033 00:54:13,960 --> 00:54:16,160 Speaker 1: with your arm. And I think the Bears need to 1034 00:54:16,200 --> 00:54:19,040 Speaker 1: find out this year it's okay losing games if you 1035 00:54:19,120 --> 00:54:21,480 Speaker 1: find out he can't beat other teams with his arm, right, 1036 00:54:21,560 --> 00:54:23,439 Speaker 1: and if he can't, so be it. I've been saying 1037 00:54:23,440 --> 00:54:25,000 Speaker 1: this for a while. You know, the good thing about 1038 00:54:25,040 --> 00:54:27,200 Speaker 1: the Bears, they got two things going for him. If 1039 00:54:27,239 --> 00:54:30,000 Speaker 1: they suck, they'll get a high pick incredible quarterback draft. 1040 00:54:30,040 --> 00:54:32,320 Speaker 1: And listen, I don't blame anyone if you live outside 1041 00:54:32,320 --> 00:54:35,959 Speaker 1: of Atlanta or Carolina for not watching the Panthers Falcons game. 1042 00:54:36,360 --> 00:54:39,320 Speaker 1: The Panthers stink. They honestly might be worse than the 1043 00:54:39,360 --> 00:54:42,200 Speaker 1: Bears because at least when the dust settles, fields can 1044 00:54:42,280 --> 00:54:44,680 Speaker 1: just sprint around and maybe run for a couple touchdowns. 1045 00:54:44,680 --> 00:54:47,480 Speaker 1: That is not bright yunks. The Panthers might win three games, 1046 00:54:47,719 --> 00:54:50,359 Speaker 1: Bears might win four or five, But we're talking about 1047 00:54:50,360 --> 00:54:52,560 Speaker 1: two picks that could be in the top five, and 1048 00:54:52,760 --> 00:54:55,319 Speaker 1: those two picks can change your franchise. And maybe at 1049 00:54:55,360 --> 00:54:57,279 Speaker 1: the end of the season you realize feels not that guy. 1050 00:54:57,320 --> 00:54:59,560 Speaker 1: And you know the good thing is Ryan Polston trade 1051 00:54:59,560 --> 00:55:02,319 Speaker 1: for him. Now. The one thing Ryan Poles, he just 1052 00:55:02,400 --> 00:55:04,239 Speaker 1: said a lot of comments over the years, is like 1053 00:55:04,320 --> 00:55:07,920 Speaker 1: let's just let's just take a deep breath, no more talking, 1054 00:55:08,280 --> 00:55:10,880 Speaker 1: and just let's just figure this out. Like time's on 1055 00:55:10,920 --> 00:55:14,279 Speaker 1: our side. That the Bears are, you know, kind of cheap, 1056 00:55:14,280 --> 00:55:16,480 Speaker 1: so they're not gonna fire anybody. They're not gonna make 1057 00:55:16,520 --> 00:55:19,560 Speaker 1: any knee jerk reactions. They'll give me some time, I'll 1058 00:55:19,560 --> 00:55:22,160 Speaker 1: get a quarterback of my own. This is not my quarterback, 1059 00:55:22,360 --> 00:55:24,600 Speaker 1: but no more ever saying like we're gonna run the 1060 00:55:24,640 --> 00:55:27,840 Speaker 1: North again, or I spent eighty hours I moved a 1061 00:55:27,920 --> 00:55:30,480 Speaker 1: cot into my office to watch film for the draft, Like, 1062 00:55:30,520 --> 00:55:33,480 Speaker 1: let's just just think and listen. No one's disputing your 1063 00:55:33,520 --> 00:55:35,440 Speaker 1: work ethic or how much you like football and all 1064 00:55:35,520 --> 00:55:38,680 Speaker 1: that stuff. But your team's not very good, and it's 1065 00:55:38,719 --> 00:55:40,080 Speaker 1: not gonna be good for a while. And I think 1066 00:55:40,120 --> 00:55:42,680 Speaker 1: one question is just gonna be when you do end 1067 00:55:42,760 --> 00:55:45,800 Speaker 1: up drafting Caleb Williams, Drake May one of these sweet 1068 00:55:45,800 --> 00:55:48,279 Speaker 1: shador Sanders. Who knows one of the sweet quarterbacks is 1069 00:55:48,280 --> 00:55:51,239 Speaker 1: Ebraf Louse, the guy to have around the quarterback. It 1070 00:55:51,320 --> 00:55:53,799 Speaker 1: is nice having offensive coaches with young quarterbacks. It just 1071 00:55:53,880 --> 00:55:56,640 Speaker 1: does make it a little easy, like easier. This isn't 1072 00:55:56,680 --> 00:55:59,120 Speaker 1: nineteen eighty seven where you can have a defensive coach 1073 00:55:59,200 --> 00:56:02,080 Speaker 1: and defense can dominate, and you can have Mike Singletary 1074 00:56:02,120 --> 00:56:05,080 Speaker 1: and John Lynch and Warren Sapp and these guys make 1075 00:56:05,120 --> 00:56:07,120 Speaker 1: it unlimited tackles and win a bunch of ugly games. 1076 00:56:07,160 --> 00:56:10,840 Speaker 1: That's not really the way the sport works. It's dramatically different. Obviously, 1077 00:56:10,920 --> 00:56:13,279 Speaker 1: you need a good defense Cowboys of forty nine ers. 1078 00:56:13,400 --> 00:56:15,719 Speaker 1: I'm not saying you don't hell the Patriots like I 1079 00:56:15,760 --> 00:56:18,560 Speaker 1: want a good defense, but the game is dramatically changed, 1080 00:56:18,600 --> 00:56:21,720 Speaker 1: and I do wonder if this season gets ugly again, 1081 00:56:21,840 --> 00:56:24,719 Speaker 1: Like is hebraflus on scholarship. I think Ryan Poles is 1082 00:56:24,760 --> 00:56:28,279 Speaker 1: gonna get another coach, But I buckle up. This thing 1083 00:56:28,360 --> 00:56:32,960 Speaker 1: is gonna get ugly before before it gets pretty quickly. 1084 00:56:33,120 --> 00:56:36,200 Speaker 1: I just want to hit on this really briefly. Brenda Tracy, 1085 00:56:37,160 --> 00:56:40,000 Speaker 1: the lady who speaks to a lot of college teams. 1086 00:56:40,080 --> 00:56:42,600 Speaker 1: I noticed her years ago. David Shaw always had her 1087 00:56:42,640 --> 00:56:45,400 Speaker 1: speak to the Stanford football program back when, you know, 1088 00:56:45,440 --> 00:56:47,759 Speaker 1: when they were constantly a top ten program, even when 1089 00:56:47,800 --> 00:56:50,440 Speaker 1: they sucked. I think he brought her every year. She 1090 00:56:50,600 --> 00:56:52,959 Speaker 1: went through all these college programs, a lot of Power 1091 00:56:53,000 --> 00:56:56,319 Speaker 1: five talked about, you know, a gang rape situation she 1092 00:56:56,440 --> 00:56:59,360 Speaker 1: was involved in, and just became a fixture for a 1093 00:56:59,360 --> 00:57:03,120 Speaker 1: lot of college coaches to use her to give messages 1094 00:57:03,280 --> 00:57:06,440 Speaker 1: to their team about. You know. I've never been in 1095 00:57:06,480 --> 00:57:08,719 Speaker 1: one of her talks, but pretty clear about the way 1096 00:57:08,719 --> 00:57:11,640 Speaker 1: to treat women the way to act and listen. When 1097 00:57:11,640 --> 00:57:14,600 Speaker 1: I was at Prisnoe State, we would have the police 1098 00:57:14,680 --> 00:57:17,160 Speaker 1: chief come over like it's a point of emphasis. I 1099 00:57:17,160 --> 00:57:21,440 Speaker 1: don't care where you are, but for mel Tucker to 1100 00:57:21,760 --> 00:57:25,560 Speaker 1: even attempt to listen. I say this all the time 1101 00:57:25,560 --> 00:57:29,200 Speaker 1: about these situations. Two people know the true details about this, 1102 00:57:29,840 --> 00:57:34,840 Speaker 1: But he admitted to masturbating on a phone call with her. 1103 00:57:35,880 --> 00:57:39,840 Speaker 1: To me, that's a fireable offense in himself because part 1104 00:57:39,840 --> 00:57:43,160 Speaker 1: of being a head coach, part of in trusting someone, 1105 00:57:43,280 --> 00:57:45,240 Speaker 1: especially at this level, when you start paying a guy 1106 00:57:45,280 --> 00:57:48,120 Speaker 1: eight to ten million dollars, same thing for CEO is 1107 00:57:48,200 --> 00:57:50,640 Speaker 1: decision making. I mean these coaches talk about it twenty 1108 00:57:50,640 --> 00:57:53,800 Speaker 1: four to seven, three sixty five to their players. Can 1109 00:57:53,840 --> 00:57:56,800 Speaker 1: I trust you? Coaches say this all the time? Can 1110 00:57:56,840 --> 00:58:00,320 Speaker 1: I trust you? Mel Tucker can't be trusted to not 1111 00:58:00,960 --> 00:58:04,840 Speaker 1: just be a moron. Clearly, they're suspending him right now 1112 00:58:04,880 --> 00:58:08,040 Speaker 1: without pay to ultimately fire him because they owe him 1113 00:58:08,080 --> 00:58:11,360 Speaker 1: seventy plus million dollars, which I think they wanted out 1114 00:58:11,400 --> 00:58:15,120 Speaker 1: of before this ever came out. But this is one 1115 00:58:15,160 --> 00:58:18,960 Speaker 1: of those where mel Tucker egg on his fan. That's 1116 00:58:19,040 --> 00:58:21,520 Speaker 1: underselling it. Like I just view this guy as a 1117 00:58:21,560 --> 00:58:26,520 Speaker 1: complete and utter idiot, Like, have some self discipline, my man, 1118 00:58:27,240 --> 00:58:29,680 Speaker 1: I know he was married, claimed he was single. None 1119 00:58:29,720 --> 00:58:32,800 Speaker 1: of that matters to me. Just this is the individual, 1120 00:58:33,160 --> 00:58:36,360 Speaker 1: This is the woman that you attempted to have a 1121 00:58:36,400 --> 00:58:39,920 Speaker 1: sexual relationship with. Like, can you just use a couple 1122 00:58:39,880 --> 00:58:43,680 Speaker 1: of brain cells and make a decision that I don't 1123 00:58:43,680 --> 00:58:48,280 Speaker 1: know might be the right one? I mean, what are 1124 00:58:48,320 --> 00:58:51,280 Speaker 1: we doing? And it just shows you that you give 1125 00:58:51,360 --> 00:58:55,240 Speaker 1: certain people power and money, Like most people are not 1126 00:58:55,360 --> 00:58:58,600 Speaker 1: Nick Saban, most people are not David Shaw, right, most 1127 00:58:58,600 --> 00:59:01,200 Speaker 1: people are not Andy Reid. They can handle it. Most 1128 00:59:01,240 --> 00:59:04,400 Speaker 1: people can't. And mel Tucker was always viewed by people 1129 00:59:04,400 --> 00:59:06,920 Speaker 1: around football as a really high level guy, as a 1130 00:59:06,920 --> 00:59:10,960 Speaker 1: good football coach. It just turned out he didn't have 1131 00:59:11,000 --> 00:59:15,640 Speaker 1: the capacity to handle that spot. Because this isn't an 1132 00:59:15,840 --> 00:59:19,040 Speaker 1: error in judgment, this is just I don't even know 1133 00:59:19,080 --> 00:59:22,120 Speaker 1: how to describe it. I mean, there's complete nutteror more 1134 00:59:22,200 --> 00:59:26,160 Speaker 1: on And under no circumstances would any athletic director, would 1135 00:59:26,200 --> 00:59:30,480 Speaker 1: any team president immediately when they got win. Honestly, even 1136 00:59:30,520 --> 00:59:32,560 Speaker 1: if he was attempting to dater, I'd be like, what 1137 00:59:32,600 --> 00:59:34,600 Speaker 1: are we doing? Man? You were attempting to be in 1138 00:59:34,640 --> 00:59:37,760 Speaker 1: a relationship with the woman that speaks to your team 1139 00:59:38,160 --> 00:59:41,960 Speaker 1: about a gang rape like that is the person and 1140 00:59:42,000 --> 00:59:48,560 Speaker 1: obviously she told immediately. Michigan State also an institution that 1141 00:59:49,040 --> 00:59:52,320 Speaker 1: has dealt with, I don't know, some serious issues. Larry 1142 00:59:52,400 --> 00:59:56,040 Speaker 1: Nasser ever heard of him. So I can't even get 1143 00:59:56,240 --> 01:00:01,040 Speaker 1: over the stupidity of mel Tucker, a guy from the outside. 1144 01:00:01,600 --> 01:00:04,160 Speaker 1: I actually stopped respecting him as much as a head coach, 1145 01:00:04,200 --> 01:00:05,920 Speaker 1: cause I don't know if he's that good. I think 1146 01:00:05,920 --> 01:00:08,200 Speaker 1: he kind of robbed in Michigan State over that ninety 1147 01:00:08,280 --> 01:00:11,000 Speaker 1: plus million dollar contract just because of Kenneth Walker, who 1148 01:00:11,040 --> 01:00:13,360 Speaker 1: they got in the transfer portal. Since then, it's been 1149 01:00:13,560 --> 01:00:18,480 Speaker 1: pretty ugly. But this is you never working again, buddy. 1150 01:00:19,000 --> 01:00:20,640 Speaker 1: I don't mean an assistant coach, I don't know, but 1151 01:00:21,160 --> 01:00:23,600 Speaker 1: as a head coach, who is ever hiring this person? 1152 01:00:23,680 --> 01:00:26,800 Speaker 1: This is this is all You're masturbating on the phone 1153 01:00:27,080 --> 01:00:31,440 Speaker 1: with her when clearly, based on her story, she's uncomfortable 1154 01:00:31,440 --> 01:00:37,080 Speaker 1: with it. What are you doing? Man? Wow? A couple 1155 01:00:37,200 --> 01:00:42,600 Speaker 1: things really quick YouTube TV. My reaction. I got the ticket, 1156 01:00:43,440 --> 01:00:46,000 Speaker 1: I give it an a minus. I really do. I 1157 01:00:46,000 --> 01:00:49,280 Speaker 1: thought it was easy to operate. I thought the ability 1158 01:00:49,320 --> 01:00:52,479 Speaker 1: to the four boxes is fantastic. I had direct TV 1159 01:00:52,640 --> 01:00:56,080 Speaker 1: the app on my TV, and it was impossible to 1160 01:00:56,360 --> 01:00:59,960 Speaker 1: ever get the four games like that because you know, 1161 01:01:00,040 --> 01:01:02,400 Speaker 1: I didn't have Roku or whatever. This is really the 1162 01:01:02,400 --> 01:01:05,560 Speaker 1: only reason I don't give it an a is and listen, 1163 01:01:05,760 --> 01:01:10,560 Speaker 1: I entrust that any of these tech companies, these people 1164 01:01:10,600 --> 01:01:14,400 Speaker 1: that are in this business, adapt fast. Right. That's the 1165 01:01:14,440 --> 01:01:17,600 Speaker 1: problem with the cable model, right, they can't adapt that 1166 01:01:17,640 --> 01:01:21,240 Speaker 1: they're stuck. I would expect YouTube tv within this year, 1167 01:01:21,400 --> 01:01:24,120 Speaker 1: if definitely by next year, to have the capability of 1168 01:01:24,520 --> 01:01:27,480 Speaker 1: placing the games I want to on my television screen. 1169 01:01:28,000 --> 01:01:30,160 Speaker 1: So I thought it was fantastic. I thought it was 1170 01:01:30,200 --> 01:01:32,920 Speaker 1: easy to use immediately. I didn't, I guess pay for 1171 01:01:32,960 --> 01:01:35,480 Speaker 1: the red zone. I tweeted out. Someone's like, you just 1172 01:01:35,480 --> 01:01:37,480 Speaker 1: got to pay for it separately. I did, and then boom, 1173 01:01:37,480 --> 01:01:40,640 Speaker 1: it's up there immediately. So it's I thought, very seamless. 1174 01:01:40,880 --> 01:01:43,240 Speaker 1: If you live in an area that doesn't have your 1175 01:01:43,240 --> 01:01:47,800 Speaker 1: team's game, I highly recommend YouTube tv this Sunday package. 1176 01:01:48,480 --> 01:01:51,680 Speaker 1: Tom Brady. I don't think many people of his stature, 1177 01:01:51,720 --> 01:01:54,160 Speaker 1: a forty five year old who's worth as much as him, 1178 01:01:54,200 --> 01:01:57,680 Speaker 1: who's an accomplished, as much as he has whatever in 1179 01:01:57,720 --> 01:02:00,560 Speaker 1: a million years, put on a jersey, even though it's 1180 01:02:00,640 --> 01:02:03,480 Speaker 1: his own jersey, like a little kid at halftime in 1181 01:02:03,520 --> 01:02:06,760 Speaker 1: that situation. And you can call it cheesy, you can 1182 01:02:06,800 --> 01:02:09,920 Speaker 1: say whatever you want. I thought that was kind of 1183 01:02:09,920 --> 01:02:13,120 Speaker 1: as cool, raw and authentic, and Tom running down like 1184 01:02:13,160 --> 01:02:15,439 Speaker 1: he used to as a player and doing the let's 1185 01:02:15,520 --> 01:02:18,920 Speaker 1: go to the crowd. I just thought that was cool, 1186 01:02:19,240 --> 01:02:21,280 Speaker 1: And I thought Tom, you know, kind of gets it. 1187 01:02:21,800 --> 01:02:24,919 Speaker 1: And I think most guys I don't ever remember seeing 1188 01:02:24,920 --> 01:02:27,200 Speaker 1: a guy put on a jersey in that scenario, especially 1189 01:02:27,240 --> 01:02:30,880 Speaker 1: one of his stature. So it was a cool moment. 1190 01:02:30,920 --> 01:02:33,600 Speaker 1: And you know where I've stood on them bringing it 1191 01:02:33,680 --> 01:02:37,160 Speaker 1: back Tom. He's sitting there with the Craft family multiple 1192 01:02:37,200 --> 01:02:39,360 Speaker 1: shots early in the game when it was sixteen to nothing, 1193 01:02:39,440 --> 01:02:42,360 Speaker 1: like before you could snap your fingers. You start wondering, 1194 01:02:42,560 --> 01:02:46,360 Speaker 1: what are they talking about? What are they discussing up there, 1195 01:02:46,880 --> 01:02:51,960 Speaker 1: and clearly they are. I think rober Kraft would love 1196 01:02:51,960 --> 01:02:54,480 Speaker 1: to have Tom Brady run his franchise now. Is Tom 1197 01:02:54,600 --> 01:02:57,280 Speaker 1: have willing to give his time to do that? You 1198 01:02:57,360 --> 01:02:59,040 Speaker 1: never know? I mean, once you see the jersey and 1199 01:02:59,080 --> 01:03:00,960 Speaker 1: you see him in fist pump, you don't take the 1200 01:03:01,000 --> 01:03:04,000 Speaker 1: football addiction out of someone. You just don't. And you 1201 01:03:04,080 --> 01:03:07,120 Speaker 1: just you'll never quite get the highs doing TV. I 1202 01:03:07,200 --> 01:03:10,720 Speaker 1: think Peyton, Manning and Eli have fun doing Monday night football, 1203 01:03:10,760 --> 01:03:13,400 Speaker 1: but it's not the same as being in the trenches. 1204 01:03:13,560 --> 01:03:17,360 Speaker 1: As John Lynch. The difference between running and picking the 1205 01:03:17,400 --> 01:03:20,400 Speaker 1: players than it is sitting in the booth with makeup 1206 01:03:20,480 --> 01:03:24,480 Speaker 1: and a tie. There's just a difference in terms of 1207 01:03:24,520 --> 01:03:27,200 Speaker 1: having skin in the game. And Tom Brady to me, 1208 01:03:27,320 --> 01:03:29,360 Speaker 1: is a skin in the game guy. So it's just 1209 01:03:29,400 --> 01:03:30,720 Speaker 1: something to keep an eye on. I know he owns 1210 01:03:30,720 --> 01:03:32,600 Speaker 1: a little piece of the Raiders that obviously it's not 1211 01:03:33,000 --> 01:03:35,800 Speaker 1: their complications behind it, but I'd keep an eye on 1212 01:03:35,800 --> 01:03:39,360 Speaker 1: that one. Alabama has issues, you know. I think the 1213 01:03:39,480 --> 01:03:41,720 Speaker 1: day and age of just locking them up as a 1214 01:03:41,800 --> 01:03:44,560 Speaker 1: national championship like in the game, I think are over. 1215 01:03:45,280 --> 01:03:47,800 Speaker 1: Doesn't mean they're gonna suck. Doesn't mean that they are 1216 01:03:47,800 --> 01:03:50,680 Speaker 1: not gonna win nine games with their eyes closed. But 1217 01:03:50,840 --> 01:03:53,240 Speaker 1: like we've all been watching college football long enough that 1218 01:03:53,720 --> 01:03:56,000 Speaker 1: they don't pass the eye test. They didn't last year 1219 01:03:56,040 --> 01:03:58,120 Speaker 1: and they definitely don't right now now. Last year they 1220 01:03:58,120 --> 01:04:01,560 Speaker 1: still had Bryce Young. This year that quarterback, I don't know, 1221 01:04:01,600 --> 01:04:05,360 Speaker 1: I don't see it. Obviously, a big time athlete can 1222 01:04:05,400 --> 01:04:08,680 Speaker 1: throw the ball far, but you can't compete for the 1223 01:04:08,680 --> 01:04:11,240 Speaker 1: playoffs in twenty twenty three with that guy quarterback. Now 1224 01:04:11,240 --> 01:04:13,840 Speaker 1: with all the other quarterbacks around the country, and you 1225 01:04:13,920 --> 01:04:16,360 Speaker 1: just have to wonder if the transfer portal, if NIL, 1226 01:04:17,240 --> 01:04:20,000 Speaker 1: has not only neutralized college football, but has hurt them, 1227 01:04:20,600 --> 01:04:22,480 Speaker 1: hurt them specifically where they used to be able to 1228 01:04:22,520 --> 01:04:23,960 Speaker 1: corner the market. You can probably say the same thing 1229 01:04:24,000 --> 01:04:26,960 Speaker 1: for Ohio State, but I would imagine Alabama has a 1230 01:04:26,960 --> 01:04:29,040 Speaker 1: little bit harder time than Ohio State cutting some of 1231 01:04:29,080 --> 01:04:31,800 Speaker 1: these checks for these players. And I think it immediately 1232 01:04:31,800 --> 01:04:34,680 Speaker 1: reflects when you watch this. Now, Nick Saban's over seventy 1233 01:04:34,720 --> 01:04:37,000 Speaker 1: years old. Is he just going to coach forever not 1234 01:04:37,120 --> 01:04:39,200 Speaker 1: being in the playoffs? I guess next year, once they 1235 01:04:39,240 --> 01:04:41,240 Speaker 1: got a twelve team playoff, you might as well take 1236 01:04:41,280 --> 01:04:42,840 Speaker 1: your swing at that because he can get to nine 1237 01:04:42,880 --> 01:04:46,040 Speaker 1: to ten wins and get into that. But I'm not 1238 01:04:46,080 --> 01:04:49,560 Speaker 1: trying to overreact and act like they're just some scrub program. 1239 01:04:50,120 --> 01:04:51,600 Speaker 1: I just think the day and age of them win 1240 01:04:51,640 --> 01:04:55,400 Speaker 1: the National Championships is over. And I guess the Browns 1241 01:04:55,440 --> 01:04:58,080 Speaker 1: lost their starting tackle, which is not ideal. Now. I 1242 01:04:58,120 --> 01:05:00,480 Speaker 1: thought Kevin Stevanski had a great line there are no 1243 01:05:00,640 --> 01:05:03,280 Speaker 1: red shirts in the NFL, so they have a young 1244 01:05:03,320 --> 01:05:06,280 Speaker 1: player who clue they drafted, who is just gonna get 1245 01:05:06,320 --> 01:05:09,280 Speaker 1: thrust into the action that they're high on. But anytime 1246 01:05:09,400 --> 01:05:12,040 Speaker 1: you lose a guy that you gave a four year, 1247 01:05:12,080 --> 01:05:14,840 Speaker 1: eighty million dollar contract to paying a ton of cash, 1248 01:05:14,960 --> 01:05:18,000 Speaker 1: who's a really good player in Jack Conklin, that hurts. 1249 01:05:18,080 --> 01:05:19,880 Speaker 1: And it's the thing that I say it all the time. 1250 01:05:19,920 --> 01:05:23,120 Speaker 1: There's nothing worse than the NFL as a fan, if 1251 01:05:23,120 --> 01:05:26,240 Speaker 1: you're a teammate, as a coach, as an executive, of 1252 01:05:26,240 --> 01:05:28,680 Speaker 1: seeing one of your impact players lying there on the ground, 1253 01:05:29,040 --> 01:05:31,960 Speaker 1: it's just it's the absolute worst. And that view of 1254 01:05:32,000 --> 01:05:34,240 Speaker 1: a guy in the back of a cart, you know, 1255 01:05:34,320 --> 01:05:38,520 Speaker 1: getting fift pounds and hugs from his teammates because they know, 1256 01:05:39,240 --> 01:05:41,840 Speaker 1: like it's they don't know the exact injury at the time, 1257 01:05:41,880 --> 01:05:44,640 Speaker 1: like did he break his leg, he tearors acl, but 1258 01:05:44,680 --> 01:05:47,920 Speaker 1: they know it's bad. That's always That's the that's my 1259 01:05:48,120 --> 01:05:52,080 Speaker 1: least favorite part of football on Sundays because we just 1260 01:05:52,120 --> 01:05:56,160 Speaker 1: see the cart come out a lot and it just has, 1261 01:05:56,560 --> 01:05:59,640 Speaker 1: you know, grave consequences when it's you know, a certain 1262 01:05:59,680 --> 01:06:02,000 Speaker 1: player on your team that you just can't replace. Sometimes 1263 01:06:02,000 --> 01:06:04,320 Speaker 1: you hope you can. But there's a big difference of 1264 01:06:04,320 --> 01:06:06,160 Speaker 1: being high on a guy because of the off season, 1265 01:06:06,200 --> 01:06:09,800 Speaker 1: the preseason, and then going against TJ. Watts like bluckle up, 1266 01:06:09,840 --> 01:06:13,040 Speaker 1: good luck. Okay, let's dive into the middle Cough mail bag. 1267 01:06:13,360 --> 01:06:16,560 Speaker 1: Way you get in is you go to my Instagram DMS. 1268 01:06:16,960 --> 01:06:20,080 Speaker 1: My Instagram handle is just my name at John Middlecough 1269 01:06:20,200 --> 01:06:23,200 Speaker 1: two f's and fire me a DM. Very very easy 1270 01:06:23,240 --> 01:06:26,880 Speaker 1: to use. My first time mailbag after listening for a 1271 01:06:26,880 --> 01:06:29,720 Speaker 1: few years. Love the show and glad to have your 1272 01:06:29,800 --> 01:06:32,800 Speaker 1: voice in the media mix. Thirty seven year old Pats 1273 01:06:32,800 --> 01:06:35,280 Speaker 1: fan here wanted to give him my take and perspective 1274 01:06:35,760 --> 01:06:39,760 Speaker 1: on the Week one Brady ceremony. It does seem rust 1275 01:06:40,040 --> 01:06:43,360 Speaker 1: but it's no wonder. Kraft loves Tom. He's quite simply 1276 01:06:43,720 --> 01:06:47,240 Speaker 1: loves the guy, and I'm sure he is eternally eager 1277 01:06:47,320 --> 01:06:49,479 Speaker 1: to show him that he really does love him ever 1278 01:06:49,520 --> 01:06:52,160 Speaker 1: since he let him walk out, because like I bet 1279 01:06:52,200 --> 01:06:55,480 Speaker 1: Bob Kraft would want that one back. I hadn't considered 1280 01:06:55,520 --> 01:06:58,240 Speaker 1: Kraft wanting to bring Brady into the front office, but 1281 01:06:58,320 --> 01:07:01,240 Speaker 1: that wouldn't surprise me. He wouldbbly let Tom live in 1282 01:07:01,280 --> 01:07:04,080 Speaker 1: his house. You can see it on Craft's face and 1283 01:07:04,160 --> 01:07:06,440 Speaker 1: definitely can hear it in the way he talks about him. 1284 01:07:07,000 --> 01:07:10,320 Speaker 1: Brady is like family to him, except add in that 1285 01:07:10,360 --> 01:07:12,920 Speaker 1: he's also an iron man and he really won all 1286 01:07:12,960 --> 01:07:16,600 Speaker 1: that shit. Bob will be pleasant, being a pleasant mood 1287 01:07:16,640 --> 01:07:19,680 Speaker 1: week one, keep up with great work and like you said, 1288 01:07:20,120 --> 01:07:23,080 Speaker 1: thank you Jesus for the back more of a comment 1289 01:07:23,160 --> 01:07:26,760 Speaker 1: really than a question. And like I said, like having 1290 01:07:26,800 --> 01:07:30,080 Speaker 1: Tom there means a lot for the Craft family to 1291 01:07:30,160 --> 01:07:34,000 Speaker 1: show their love for Tom, though I do think Tom 1292 01:07:34,120 --> 01:07:38,760 Speaker 1: knows that. I think anytime you go through rough times 1293 01:07:38,800 --> 01:07:41,840 Speaker 1: as a franchise and it's all relative, like you can 1294 01:07:41,840 --> 01:07:44,680 Speaker 1: watch the Patriots. I'm not the biggest mac Jones guy, 1295 01:07:45,360 --> 01:07:48,200 Speaker 1: but adding Billy Oh, relative to what they had last year, 1296 01:07:48,240 --> 01:07:50,960 Speaker 1: clearly their defense is gonna be good. Maybe they do 1297 01:07:51,040 --> 01:07:54,120 Speaker 1: compete to go above five hundred and stay in the 1298 01:07:54,120 --> 01:07:56,760 Speaker 1: wildcard max, so they're not a joke by any means. 1299 01:07:56,880 --> 01:07:59,080 Speaker 1: They're gonna be solid. We'll see how they look against 1300 01:07:59,080 --> 01:08:02,600 Speaker 1: the visional opponents. You know, the first game you get 1301 01:08:02,600 --> 01:08:05,440 Speaker 1: all off season, the game plan and obviously Bill's you know, 1302 01:08:05,560 --> 01:08:07,840 Speaker 1: arguably one of the great ex's nose coaches, if not 1303 01:08:07,880 --> 01:08:10,040 Speaker 1: the best, in the history of the league, especially defensively, 1304 01:08:10,960 --> 01:08:15,200 Speaker 1: But I do I don't know, man, I just in 1305 01:08:15,320 --> 01:08:19,479 Speaker 1: terms of Belichick's ten year, this is toward the eighteenth hole, 1306 01:08:20,080 --> 01:08:22,880 Speaker 1: and if they missed the playoffs, Like, I don't think 1307 01:08:22,960 --> 01:08:26,519 Speaker 1: firing Bill, like firing Brandon Staley and firing Bill Belichick 1308 01:08:26,560 --> 01:08:28,680 Speaker 1: are not the same thing. And I don't even think 1309 01:08:28,720 --> 01:08:32,400 Speaker 1: you fire him right? But is it just run its course? 1310 01:08:33,560 --> 01:08:36,080 Speaker 1: And I do think if they were to go seven 1311 01:08:36,120 --> 01:08:38,519 Speaker 1: to ten, it would be on the table. Now when 1312 01:08:38,520 --> 01:08:42,960 Speaker 1: it comes to Tom, you know, would Tom run the show? Basically? 1313 01:08:43,000 --> 01:08:46,160 Speaker 1: Give him I don't know, twenty plus million dollars a year, 1314 01:08:46,720 --> 01:08:49,880 Speaker 1: maybe give him the equivalent of what Mark Davis gave 1315 01:08:49,920 --> 01:08:53,040 Speaker 1: him in Vegas and say, hey, we want you to 1316 01:08:53,400 --> 01:08:55,640 Speaker 1: be like our John Elway slash. Will give you a 1317 01:08:55,640 --> 01:08:57,240 Speaker 1: little equity in the franchise. I don't even know o 1318 01:08:57,280 --> 01:09:00,639 Speaker 1: the league rules because clearly, like Mark David let him in, 1319 01:09:01,040 --> 01:09:03,519 Speaker 1: think of what the Raiders are doing, Jimmy Garoppolo there now, 1320 01:09:03,640 --> 01:09:07,280 Speaker 1: Josh McDaniel Ziegler like it's kind of Patriot West. So 1321 01:09:08,360 --> 01:09:10,840 Speaker 1: now would Tom even want to do that? Seems like 1322 01:09:10,880 --> 01:09:13,120 Speaker 1: he's having a good time hanging out with his son Jack, 1323 01:09:13,240 --> 01:09:16,639 Speaker 1: Benny and all the other kids, you grind it that long. 1324 01:09:16,760 --> 01:09:19,719 Speaker 1: But I listen, I've been around a few football addicts, 1325 01:09:20,400 --> 01:09:23,519 Speaker 1: and they don't do well away from football for a while, 1326 01:09:24,479 --> 01:09:28,439 Speaker 1: And I just wonder you get that itch to really 1327 01:09:28,479 --> 01:09:31,200 Speaker 1: be in the fire. I just I have a hard 1328 01:09:31,200 --> 01:09:35,800 Speaker 1: time seeing Tom call football games like the actual game, 1329 01:09:35,920 --> 01:09:38,040 Speaker 1: like in a suit and tie. Even Peyton kind of 1330 01:09:38,040 --> 01:09:41,000 Speaker 1: gets to screw around, you know. I just I don't 1331 01:09:41,040 --> 01:09:42,439 Speaker 1: know if I ever see him doing that. I know 1332 01:09:42,479 --> 01:09:44,559 Speaker 1: they gave him a lot of money. I know everyone 1333 01:09:44,600 --> 01:09:47,200 Speaker 1: thinks is gonna happen next year. Something to keep an 1334 01:09:47,240 --> 01:09:51,040 Speaker 1: eye on, because I don't know if that's gonna kind 1335 01:09:51,080 --> 01:09:53,639 Speaker 1: of get his juices flowing like he thinks obviously they 1336 01:09:53,800 --> 01:09:56,360 Speaker 1: you know, financially, Tom's at the point, I mean, does 1337 01:09:56,400 --> 01:09:59,920 Speaker 1: he really need the money again? I'm never money always helps, right, 1338 01:10:00,120 --> 01:10:02,720 Speaker 1: That's the way they wooed him by offering him so 1339 01:10:02,800 --> 01:10:05,559 Speaker 1: much money. But I think it's going to be very 1340 01:10:05,680 --> 01:10:08,040 Speaker 1: very interesting what happens after the season, not just for 1341 01:10:08,120 --> 01:10:10,559 Speaker 1: the Patriots but the Tom Brady Like, where does he 1342 01:10:10,680 --> 01:10:13,160 Speaker 1: actually end up in twenty twenty four when it comes 1343 01:10:13,160 --> 01:10:16,599 Speaker 1: to football? Is he on TV? Or is Craft begging 1344 01:10:16,640 --> 01:10:18,320 Speaker 1: him to run his team? So I know you do 1345 01:10:18,439 --> 01:10:20,719 Speaker 1: a mailbag every once in a while, fan of your insights. 1346 01:10:20,920 --> 01:10:23,799 Speaker 1: Who's the blame for the Broncos woes? Is it Russell Wilson? 1347 01:10:23,920 --> 01:10:27,360 Speaker 1: Is it coaching? Is it personnel? We scored sixteen points again, 1348 01:10:27,960 --> 01:10:30,960 Speaker 1: which was our ceiling last year. It's just getting hard 1349 01:10:31,000 --> 01:10:35,960 Speaker 1: to watch. Well, I thought Russell relative to last year. 1350 01:10:36,080 --> 01:10:39,439 Speaker 1: You know, a lot has been made of his losing 1351 01:10:39,479 --> 01:10:41,920 Speaker 1: some weight. I did think he looked a little more spry. 1352 01:10:42,040 --> 01:10:44,680 Speaker 1: I thought he looked a little quicker. He's just not 1353 01:10:44,800 --> 01:10:48,320 Speaker 1: magical man. And Russell, for a long period of time, 1354 01:10:48,560 --> 01:10:52,479 Speaker 1: what made him such a great player was he was magic. 1355 01:10:52,560 --> 01:10:56,320 Speaker 1: And I've seen him live so many times. His creativity, 1356 01:10:56,800 --> 01:11:00,400 Speaker 1: he was unlike anything I've ever seen. His ability to screw, amble, 1357 01:11:00,479 --> 01:11:03,320 Speaker 1: throw the bombs, and it's just not there now. You 1358 01:11:03,360 --> 01:11:08,040 Speaker 1: guys have had injuries offensively, you know mcglinchy stinks. I mean, 1359 01:11:08,120 --> 01:11:10,400 Speaker 1: paying that guy all that money. Just because you pay 1360 01:11:10,439 --> 01:11:12,839 Speaker 1: a player a lot of money doesn't mean the player changes, 1361 01:11:12,920 --> 01:11:15,559 Speaker 1: like he's not gonna be able to block Max Crosby 1362 01:11:15,720 --> 01:11:19,160 Speaker 1: was eating his lunch. So I think it's a combination 1363 01:11:19,240 --> 01:11:21,519 Speaker 1: of a lot of things. Your personnel's not great. You 1364 01:11:21,600 --> 01:11:24,840 Speaker 1: went all in on a guy that is no longer 1365 01:11:24,880 --> 01:11:29,120 Speaker 1: an elite guy. Right, you not only made an enormous trade, 1366 01:11:29,160 --> 01:11:31,519 Speaker 1: but you paid him all this money. And when you 1367 01:11:31,560 --> 01:11:35,000 Speaker 1: do pay a quarterback all that money for that three 1368 01:11:35,080 --> 01:11:37,519 Speaker 1: or four years, he's got to be a high end player. 1369 01:11:37,560 --> 01:11:39,960 Speaker 1: He doesn't have to be Patrick Mahomes. But if he's 1370 01:11:40,000 --> 01:11:43,240 Speaker 1: not in the Pro Bowl mix, which Russell's not gonna be, 1371 01:11:44,040 --> 01:11:47,439 Speaker 1: you got problems. So obviously it's hard to blame it 1372 01:11:47,520 --> 01:11:50,400 Speaker 1: on Sean Payton Russell Wilson. But like Sean Payton was 1373 01:11:50,439 --> 01:11:52,479 Speaker 1: the guy pounding the table for mglinchey in the Guard 1374 01:11:53,200 --> 01:11:54,840 Speaker 1: And I think sometimes when you give a coach so 1375 01:11:54,960 --> 01:11:56,920 Speaker 1: much juice, like they're just gonna get to make all 1376 01:11:56,960 --> 01:12:00,360 Speaker 1: the decisions with personnel. So I think everyone is the blame. 1377 01:12:00,800 --> 01:12:03,439 Speaker 1: George Payton, does he know what he's doing. He's the 1378 01:12:03,479 --> 01:12:05,040 Speaker 1: guy that hired Night Hackett. Now, if you want to 1379 01:12:05,080 --> 01:12:07,360 Speaker 1: tell me, well, they only hired Hackett to get Aaron Rodgers, 1380 01:12:07,400 --> 01:12:09,840 Speaker 1: well that didn't work, right, So if you're gonna make 1381 01:12:09,840 --> 01:12:12,200 Speaker 1: a move, you better close the freaking deal. The Jets 1382 01:12:12,240 --> 01:12:15,080 Speaker 1: hired Hacket, they got him. Obviously, the Broncos couldn't have 1383 01:12:15,120 --> 01:12:17,720 Speaker 1: because they'd already made the trade. But I think guys 1384 01:12:17,720 --> 01:12:20,680 Speaker 1: are gonna be bad, and an ugly bad because anytime, 1385 01:12:20,760 --> 01:12:23,080 Speaker 1: it's like in baseball, if you can't hit, your boring watch, 1386 01:12:23,240 --> 01:12:25,200 Speaker 1: like the San Franco Giants can't hit, you couldn't pay 1387 01:12:25,200 --> 01:12:28,040 Speaker 1: me to watch them. You can't pay me to watch 1388 01:12:28,160 --> 01:12:31,240 Speaker 1: baseball teams who can't hit very boring, right, just like 1389 01:12:31,280 --> 01:12:34,120 Speaker 1: you can't pay me to watch football teams. If I 1390 01:12:34,200 --> 01:12:36,120 Speaker 1: was a fan, I would be so mad because I 1391 01:12:36,160 --> 01:12:39,280 Speaker 1: understand you're gonna watch your team. There is nothing worse 1392 01:12:39,320 --> 01:12:43,599 Speaker 1: as a fan than watching a mnemic offensive teams, right 1393 01:12:43,680 --> 01:12:46,040 Speaker 1: at least if your defensive bad. In your offense, Okay, 1394 01:12:46,160 --> 01:12:49,760 Speaker 1: you can be competitive when your offense is just struggling 1395 01:12:49,800 --> 01:12:53,000 Speaker 1: to get to twenty points. In this modern day way 1396 01:12:53,040 --> 01:12:57,519 Speaker 1: the game is officiated and regulated, that sucks. So I 1397 01:12:57,720 --> 01:13:00,040 Speaker 1: don't know what to tell you. Probably in for a 1398 01:12:59,880 --> 01:13:05,160 Speaker 1: long year. But everyone has is the blame, right, And 1399 01:13:05,479 --> 01:13:09,280 Speaker 1: I think Sean Payton definitely has some blame as well, 1400 01:13:09,320 --> 01:13:11,680 Speaker 1: given that he went all spent all this money on 1401 01:13:11,720 --> 01:13:14,000 Speaker 1: some of these players who aren't that good. But I 1402 01:13:14,040 --> 01:13:16,080 Speaker 1: can't blame he has nothing to do with Russell Willis 1403 01:13:16,360 --> 01:13:18,560 Speaker 1: riding in for the next Mailbag. Been listening to the 1404 01:13:18,600 --> 01:13:22,160 Speaker 1: show for over a year and as a Texas Longhorn fan, 1405 01:13:22,320 --> 01:13:26,920 Speaker 1: it's been brutal hearing your criticism of Sark and our program. 1406 01:13:26,960 --> 01:13:30,320 Speaker 1: So I'm is totally warranted and we underachieved. But I 1407 01:13:30,360 --> 01:13:32,200 Speaker 1: had to slide into the DMS to make sure you 1408 01:13:32,320 --> 01:13:36,639 Speaker 1: gave Sark his flowers. Texas Pete Bama, Sark, our coach, Saban, 1409 01:13:37,000 --> 01:13:39,000 Speaker 1: you were wrong about this game, and I hope you 1410 01:13:39,080 --> 01:13:42,639 Speaker 1: reconsider betting against us next time. Ho come baby, We're back. 1411 01:13:44,320 --> 01:13:46,840 Speaker 1: We're now back. We're not back yet, but we are 1412 01:13:46,920 --> 01:13:50,559 Speaker 1: on back on track. PS. Love the show. Listen. I 1413 01:13:50,560 --> 01:13:54,120 Speaker 1: will say this about Sark. I think Brandon Staley is 1414 01:13:54,160 --> 01:13:56,840 Speaker 1: a fraud. Like I could not make that guy my 1415 01:13:56,920 --> 01:13:59,840 Speaker 1: head coach. I do think Sark knows how to coach 1416 01:14:00,360 --> 01:14:03,840 Speaker 1: right offensively, even last year they were dynamic. I like 1417 01:14:03,920 --> 01:14:06,960 Speaker 1: in him a little to Lincoln Riley is like, he's 1418 01:14:07,000 --> 01:14:09,240 Speaker 1: not a tough guy, and when you're not a tough 1419 01:14:09,280 --> 01:14:13,519 Speaker 1: guy defensively, it shows in the biggest moments. But I 1420 01:14:13,600 --> 01:14:17,639 Speaker 1: had multiple friends who went through Texas in training camp 1421 01:14:17,720 --> 01:14:21,040 Speaker 1: right over to the during August. Both of them told me, like, 1422 01:14:21,160 --> 01:14:26,240 Speaker 1: I'm telling you this team is freaking loaded. They are stacked. 1423 01:14:27,120 --> 01:14:30,719 Speaker 1: And this is where nil comes in. Now. Sark recruited 1424 01:14:30,720 --> 01:14:33,639 Speaker 1: well when he was at Washington, because when Chris Peterson 1425 01:14:33,680 --> 01:14:35,200 Speaker 1: got to Washington, they made the playoffs. It was with 1426 01:14:35,240 --> 01:14:37,040 Speaker 1: a lot of Sarks guys. Starknos had her crew. He's 1427 01:14:37,080 --> 01:14:40,920 Speaker 1: like Lane. He Sarkinnho's talent. My issue with Sark always 1428 01:14:41,120 --> 01:14:44,320 Speaker 1: was look at his resume. He just never wins. He's 1429 01:14:44,360 --> 01:14:47,360 Speaker 1: never won nine games. Now, that was a big win. 1430 01:14:47,760 --> 01:14:50,439 Speaker 1: And I don't care if Bama's you know not twenty 1431 01:14:50,520 --> 01:14:54,160 Speaker 1: seventeen Bama. I thought he kicked his ass. I mean 1432 01:14:54,320 --> 01:14:57,160 Speaker 1: he worked them. And again I'm not people think I 1433 01:14:57,439 --> 01:14:59,920 Speaker 1: none of this shit's personal. This is all business to me. 1434 01:15:00,280 --> 01:15:02,559 Speaker 1: I just watched Sarks teams. I never liked the way 1435 01:15:02,600 --> 01:15:05,040 Speaker 1: they look. That was impressive. He clearly has a lot 1436 01:15:05,040 --> 01:15:07,760 Speaker 1: of talent. I will say this though, Once you get 1437 01:15:07,800 --> 01:15:09,640 Speaker 1: a little momentum as they did and you win a 1438 01:15:09,640 --> 01:15:13,080 Speaker 1: game like that, anything less than like eleven and one 1439 01:15:13,200 --> 01:15:16,800 Speaker 1: will be a major letdown. It's football. I could give 1440 01:15:16,800 --> 01:15:18,360 Speaker 1: you a little room for airr You're allowed to lose 1441 01:15:18,400 --> 01:15:22,240 Speaker 1: a game, but he cannot. Ten and two would feel devastating. Right, 1442 01:15:22,280 --> 01:15:24,360 Speaker 1: So there's a lot of pressure on him. Now he 1443 01:15:24,400 --> 01:15:28,240 Speaker 1: answered the bell easily the toughest away game he's gonna have. 1444 01:15:29,000 --> 01:15:31,240 Speaker 1: But some of these big twelve games, and listen, I 1445 01:15:31,360 --> 01:15:34,679 Speaker 1: followed him pretty closely since he's been there. They've lost 1446 01:15:34,680 --> 01:15:37,519 Speaker 1: to Kansas, last year they lost to Texas Tech. He 1447 01:15:38,040 --> 01:15:42,439 Speaker 1: cannot drop these games where he is gonna be clearly 1448 01:15:42,479 --> 01:15:45,320 Speaker 1: more talented than these other coaches. So props to Sark. 1449 01:15:45,560 --> 01:15:47,880 Speaker 1: It's the biggest win of his career by a mile, 1450 01:15:48,640 --> 01:15:52,160 Speaker 1: not just because he beat Alabama, but he had more talent, 1451 01:15:52,240 --> 01:15:54,400 Speaker 1: Like this was a year like he legitimately should have 1452 01:15:54,400 --> 01:15:57,360 Speaker 1: beat him. Last year was understandable. Think about this last 1453 01:15:57,439 --> 01:15:59,960 Speaker 1: year in the loss is the best moment of his career, 1454 01:16:00,040 --> 01:16:03,040 Speaker 1: and it's a loss, so good for him. I read 1455 01:16:03,080 --> 01:16:06,599 Speaker 1: an article about on Sark how he had like triple 1456 01:16:06,600 --> 01:16:11,679 Speaker 1: bypass surgery because every year Nick Saban basically makes all 1457 01:16:11,800 --> 01:16:14,880 Speaker 1: his coaches and everyone that works for him get a 1458 01:16:15,040 --> 01:16:20,840 Speaker 1: full on physical I'm talking drawing blood, colonoscopies like they 1459 01:16:20,880 --> 01:16:23,360 Speaker 1: do it all. And they found something in his heart 1460 01:16:23,479 --> 01:16:25,320 Speaker 1: that if they wouldn't, if he wouldn't have done it, 1461 01:16:25,320 --> 01:16:27,040 Speaker 1: he would have died. And he had to immediately get 1462 01:16:27,120 --> 01:16:30,040 Speaker 1: surgery he's got a big scar in his heart. Made 1463 01:16:30,040 --> 01:16:32,639 Speaker 1: you realize, like, damn, it was a pretty powerful article. 1464 01:16:32,800 --> 01:16:34,920 Speaker 1: And I'm not saying I was rooting for Sark going 1465 01:16:34,920 --> 01:16:37,080 Speaker 1: into that game, because you know, I'm a Sabin Roal 1466 01:16:37,120 --> 01:16:40,760 Speaker 1: tied guy. But it made me made me like him 1467 01:16:40,760 --> 01:16:43,479 Speaker 1: a little more. Now, am I picking them to win 1468 01:16:43,520 --> 01:16:46,960 Speaker 1: the National Championship? I'm not. Am I gonna be dumb 1469 01:16:47,080 --> 01:16:49,320 Speaker 1: enough to debate like they have the talent to win 1470 01:16:49,360 --> 01:16:52,320 Speaker 1: it right? They are easily one of the most talented 1471 01:16:52,320 --> 01:16:54,439 Speaker 1: teams in the country. Right, We'll see who comes out 1472 01:16:54,479 --> 01:16:57,479 Speaker 1: of the Pac twelve once Utah gets their quarterback. Usc 1473 01:16:57,600 --> 01:17:00,880 Speaker 1: is their defense good enough? Oregon, Washington, Colorado's the wild 1474 01:17:00,920 --> 01:17:04,360 Speaker 1: card looks like Georgia is gonna be pretty freaking good 1475 01:17:04,800 --> 01:17:08,560 Speaker 1: Florida State between Ohio State and Michigan. But Texas is 1476 01:17:08,600 --> 01:17:11,000 Speaker 1: going to be right in the mix. I'm not, by 1477 01:17:11,040 --> 01:17:13,080 Speaker 1: no means of my acting like they aren't gonna be 1478 01:17:13,120 --> 01:17:15,200 Speaker 1: in the playoff mix if not in the playoffs and 1479 01:17:15,240 --> 01:17:16,880 Speaker 1: have a chance to win it all, because they're going 1480 01:17:16,920 --> 01:17:19,360 Speaker 1: to and he wins it all. Like, trust me, I've 1481 01:17:19,400 --> 01:17:22,439 Speaker 1: talked a lot of shit. I'll eat Crow. I'm pretty 1482 01:17:22,439 --> 01:17:24,879 Speaker 1: confident where I stand on brand stalely. Thing with college 1483 01:17:24,960 --> 01:17:27,479 Speaker 1: is like it's about the Jimmies and the Joe's and 1484 01:17:27,520 --> 01:17:29,880 Speaker 1: the one thing Sark does because of the program, they 1485 01:17:29,880 --> 01:17:32,240 Speaker 1: have access to a lot of coin, and that coin's 1486 01:17:32,280 --> 01:17:34,880 Speaker 1: paying for a lot of players, and he deserves credit 1487 01:17:34,880 --> 01:17:38,000 Speaker 1: for isolating and getting the right ones, just like Florida State, right, 1488 01:17:38,080 --> 01:17:39,800 Speaker 1: just like USC. You gotta be on the right guys. 1489 01:17:40,240 --> 01:17:42,960 Speaker 1: He's on the right guys. Sark and Lane no man 1490 01:17:43,200 --> 01:17:45,960 Speaker 1: that they learn from Pete firsthand in the mid two thousands. 1491 01:17:46,400 --> 01:17:49,639 Speaker 1: Those guys learned had not just to build a program, 1492 01:17:49,680 --> 01:17:53,719 Speaker 1: but to find the right players. If you know talent 1493 01:17:53,880 --> 01:17:56,880 Speaker 1: in college football and you're at one of these powerhouses, 1494 01:17:57,040 --> 01:18:00,439 Speaker 1: is just you're off and running. Just but College Colorado 1495 01:18:00,640 --> 01:18:03,559 Speaker 1: at ASU tickets for next month, use your promo code 1496 01:18:03,680 --> 01:18:07,120 Speaker 1: bringing the kids to their first football game. Can't wait? 1497 01:18:07,600 --> 01:18:11,080 Speaker 1: Is this Colorado team for real? The penalties they're getting 1498 01:18:11,080 --> 01:18:14,719 Speaker 1: so far is discipline related, but they clearly are getting 1499 01:18:14,720 --> 01:18:18,040 Speaker 1: the ball down the field. Here's what I know. If 1500 01:18:18,080 --> 01:18:20,920 Speaker 1: Caleb Williams is the best quarterback in the country, right, 1501 01:18:21,040 --> 01:18:23,000 Speaker 1: just the guy that not is just the best player, 1502 01:18:23,040 --> 01:18:24,479 Speaker 1: but the guy who's going to go number one in 1503 01:18:24,520 --> 01:18:28,559 Speaker 1: the draft and just an elite overall individual. I think 1504 01:18:28,560 --> 01:18:31,000 Speaker 1: Shador is in the mix as the number two quarterback. 1505 01:18:31,120 --> 01:18:32,760 Speaker 1: I don't know if he's coming out or whatever, but 1506 01:18:32,800 --> 01:18:35,720 Speaker 1: I'm just saying, if we're ranking quarterbacks, like if you 1507 01:18:35,720 --> 01:18:40,679 Speaker 1: were an NFLGM, whether they're underclassmen, draft eligible, whatever, Caleb 1508 01:18:40,840 --> 01:18:43,240 Speaker 1: is pretty entrenched at number one. I think Schador is 1509 01:18:43,280 --> 01:18:45,599 Speaker 1: in the mix for number two. Anytime you got that 1510 01:18:45,720 --> 01:18:49,439 Speaker 1: level at quarterback and the talent they have on offense, 1511 01:18:49,640 --> 01:18:51,640 Speaker 1: because I think everyone after that first game is like 1512 01:18:51,640 --> 01:18:54,960 Speaker 1: Travis Hunter, Travis other and obviously so he played like 1513 01:18:55,000 --> 01:18:59,479 Speaker 1: seven hundred snaps, but number ten, the dude with dreads, 1514 01:18:59,600 --> 01:19:03,080 Speaker 1: like that guy is freaking good. I saw him in 1515 01:19:03,080 --> 01:19:04,760 Speaker 1: the TCU game. I'm like, I like this guy. They 1516 01:19:04,880 --> 01:19:07,719 Speaker 1: started making more plays in the Nebraska game. Their running 1517 01:19:07,720 --> 01:19:10,960 Speaker 1: backs are good, their other receivers are good. Defensively, they 1518 01:19:11,000 --> 01:19:13,920 Speaker 1: got some players, and Dion knows what he's doing and 1519 01:19:13,960 --> 01:19:16,439 Speaker 1: as a as like a number two guy for a 1520 01:19:16,800 --> 01:19:19,840 Speaker 1: NFL team. Told me this weekend, He's like the thing, 1521 01:19:19,920 --> 01:19:22,240 Speaker 1: you don't understand what I do. But I just think 1522 01:19:22,240 --> 01:19:26,320 Speaker 1: the casual fan doesn't understand. It's not just Dione up there, 1523 01:19:26,960 --> 01:19:30,400 Speaker 1: you know, giving motivation speeches and saying funny stuff. His 1524 01:19:30,520 --> 01:19:34,920 Speaker 1: coaching staff is top notch. That bald defensive coordinator the 1525 01:19:34,920 --> 01:19:37,040 Speaker 1: white guy if obviously you've watched the game, like ten 1526 01:19:37,080 --> 01:19:38,960 Speaker 1: million people watching their game, do you know where that 1527 01:19:38,960 --> 01:19:43,800 Speaker 1: guy's from? Nick Sabd Alabama, their offensive coordinator was a 1528 01:19:43,840 --> 01:19:46,479 Speaker 1: freaking head coach in the MAC last year. Just quit. 1529 01:19:46,600 --> 01:19:49,920 Speaker 1: He didn't get fired, he just quit to go be Shador. 1530 01:19:49,920 --> 01:19:53,439 Speaker 1: Travis Hunter and Number ten's offensive coordinator. Smart move, because 1531 01:19:53,479 --> 01:19:55,240 Speaker 1: that guy's gonna be in the mixed past. He's legit. 1532 01:19:55,520 --> 01:19:59,160 Speaker 1: Their coaching staff is really good. The other thing that 1533 01:19:59,200 --> 01:20:02,280 Speaker 1: I heard about d On is what makes him such 1534 01:20:02,320 --> 01:20:05,720 Speaker 1: a good recruiter. Obviously, he's just great with people and 1535 01:20:05,800 --> 01:20:08,360 Speaker 1: his feel like for just whether it's a parent or 1536 01:20:08,400 --> 01:20:11,679 Speaker 1: a kid. I've heard he's just incredible in a room. 1537 01:20:11,800 --> 01:20:13,320 Speaker 1: You can see it. I mean a lot of guys are, 1538 01:20:13,360 --> 01:20:17,120 Speaker 1: but his ability to just interact with anybody. He can 1539 01:20:17,160 --> 01:20:18,759 Speaker 1: go to the hood, he can go to the country club. 1540 01:20:18,880 --> 01:20:22,320 Speaker 1: He could fit in. But the one thing I heard 1541 01:20:22,360 --> 01:20:24,400 Speaker 1: that's great about Dean is like he won't take no 1542 01:20:24,560 --> 01:20:27,120 Speaker 1: for an answer. He's not just like a salesman, Like 1543 01:20:27,160 --> 01:20:30,200 Speaker 1: he's relentless and clearly he's getting a lot of yeses. 1544 01:20:30,920 --> 01:20:35,120 Speaker 1: So yeah, I mean that they're not not for real? Now, 1545 01:20:35,160 --> 01:20:39,200 Speaker 1: are they gonna win the national championship? Sitting here September eleventh, 1546 01:20:39,240 --> 01:20:43,080 Speaker 1: I don't think i'd say that, But if you told 1547 01:20:43,160 --> 01:20:45,840 Speaker 1: me they go ten and two and beat some of 1548 01:20:45,880 --> 01:20:48,599 Speaker 1: these highly ranked teams along the way, whether it's an Oregon, 1549 01:20:48,680 --> 01:20:52,000 Speaker 1: a USC A, Utah, I can definitely see it. I 1550 01:20:52,120 --> 01:20:54,479 Speaker 1: might see you at that ASU game because depending on 1551 01:20:54,520 --> 01:20:56,760 Speaker 1: what time the game is, I think I might go. 1552 01:20:57,160 --> 01:20:59,200 Speaker 1: I think I definitely might go. Want to hear your 1553 01:20:59,200 --> 01:21:01,439 Speaker 1: thoughts on this season the Hard Knocks. I found it 1554 01:21:01,479 --> 01:21:03,559 Speaker 1: to be one of the most enjoyable seasons in a 1555 01:21:03,560 --> 01:21:06,479 Speaker 1: few years. I mostly want your take on the Rogers 1556 01:21:06,680 --> 01:21:12,200 Speaker 1: UFO siding. I didn't watch all, however, four episodes sixty minutes, 1557 01:21:12,240 --> 01:21:15,680 Speaker 1: so I didn't watch every minute of every episode, And 1558 01:21:15,760 --> 01:21:17,200 Speaker 1: if you've listened to me for a while, you know 1559 01:21:17,280 --> 01:21:19,920 Speaker 1: I'm out on the show because I think it's like, 1560 01:21:20,360 --> 01:21:22,960 Speaker 1: it's just such a PG version and even the jets 1561 01:21:23,000 --> 01:21:27,160 Speaker 1: where anti showing guys get cut, which I understand for 1562 01:21:27,439 --> 01:21:30,840 Speaker 1: their side of it, right they claimed it was inhumane. 1563 01:21:30,840 --> 01:21:33,680 Speaker 1: It's literally just part of the business and half the 1564 01:21:33,680 --> 01:21:36,360 Speaker 1: guys you cut, you literally re signed for two hundred grand. 1565 01:21:36,840 --> 01:21:38,640 Speaker 1: You know that are twenty two years old. So like 1566 01:21:38,920 --> 01:21:41,400 Speaker 1: the horror guys, it's okay, we get it. We've all 1567 01:21:41,400 --> 01:21:44,679 Speaker 1: seen hard knocks. We understand the deal. But those days 1568 01:21:44,680 --> 01:21:47,719 Speaker 1: are over. I don't expect to be in personnel meetings anymore. 1569 01:21:47,920 --> 01:21:50,639 Speaker 1: You don't see anyone get cut, you know the Turk. 1570 01:21:50,840 --> 01:21:54,080 Speaker 1: I had that role when I was in the NFL, 1571 01:21:54,439 --> 01:21:57,720 Speaker 1: walking downstairs to meet guys and grab their playbook and 1572 01:21:57,760 --> 01:21:59,920 Speaker 1: grab their iPad, like that's just part of the pro 1573 01:22:00,200 --> 01:22:02,519 Speaker 1: call of the sport of football. Right. Hell, some of 1574 01:22:02,600 --> 01:22:04,720 Speaker 1: us get cut in junior high or high school from 1575 01:22:04,920 --> 01:22:08,479 Speaker 1: baseball teams, basketball teams, whatever. Football teams usually don't cut, 1576 01:22:08,479 --> 01:22:11,000 Speaker 1: but you know what I mean, it's like part of life. 1577 01:22:11,000 --> 01:22:15,040 Speaker 1: Failure is okay, it doesn't end your life, right, but 1578 01:22:15,080 --> 01:22:18,400 Speaker 1: those days are over. The show worked, though, and simply 1579 01:22:18,439 --> 01:22:23,120 Speaker 1: because it was a television show with two stars and Rogers. 1580 01:22:23,360 --> 01:22:25,960 Speaker 1: People are like, oh, it's just Rogers propaganda, that's fine. 1581 01:22:26,000 --> 01:22:28,880 Speaker 1: It was entertaining. I found it pretty entertaining. So I'm 1582 01:22:28,880 --> 01:22:32,000 Speaker 1: with you, and I think Robert Sala listen, I root 1583 01:22:32,040 --> 01:22:36,120 Speaker 1: for my bald brothers. He's natural on TV. He's it 1584 01:22:36,200 --> 01:22:40,040 Speaker 1: was an easy watch, so I'm I'm with you. I 1585 01:22:40,080 --> 01:22:43,559 Speaker 1: thought it was fantastic, but it was. They got very, 1586 01:22:43,640 --> 01:22:47,360 Speaker 1: very lucky. The coach is just made for TV, good 1587 01:22:47,360 --> 01:22:51,120 Speaker 1: looking guy, not too much of a you know meathead, 1588 01:22:51,520 --> 01:22:55,200 Speaker 1: can talk, but is also a tough guy. He's just perfect. 1589 01:22:55,439 --> 01:22:57,400 Speaker 1: And Rogers is just, you know, one of the most 1590 01:22:57,439 --> 01:22:59,960 Speaker 1: famous guys in the league history who just got traded 1591 01:23:00,080 --> 01:23:03,360 Speaker 1: to this team in the Big Apple. So it was 1592 01:23:03,439 --> 01:23:04,960 Speaker 1: kind of served up to them on a It was 1593 01:23:04,960 --> 01:23:07,800 Speaker 1: like a beep fastball. If it wasn't entertaining, they would 1594 01:23:07,800 --> 01:23:09,679 Speaker 1: have had a problem. And let's face, what did we get. 1595 01:23:10,200 --> 01:23:13,439 Speaker 1: We basically just got unlimited Rogers and Sola. That felt 1596 01:23:13,439 --> 01:23:17,400 Speaker 1: like the majority of the show. I didn't see the 1597 01:23:17,439 --> 01:23:21,080 Speaker 1: specific UFO part. But are aliens really coming? And if 1598 01:23:21,080 --> 01:23:22,720 Speaker 1: they do, do we have to fight them or they 1599 01:23:22,800 --> 01:23:25,000 Speaker 1: like our friends? Or do they pretend to be our 1600 01:23:25,040 --> 01:23:27,080 Speaker 1: friends and then take us all out? Is it like 1601 01:23:27,200 --> 01:23:29,840 Speaker 1: Independence Day with Will Smith where they shoot that thing down? 1602 01:23:30,560 --> 01:23:33,360 Speaker 1: If they really are here and clearly people are testifying 1603 01:23:33,400 --> 01:23:35,840 Speaker 1: that they exist, and every other day on the internet, 1604 01:23:35,960 --> 01:23:38,479 Speaker 1: I see, you know, a UFO siding. We got to 1605 01:23:38,479 --> 01:23:41,479 Speaker 1: buckle up, like is this going down or are they 1606 01:23:41,560 --> 01:23:44,880 Speaker 1: just gonna be cool? Right? Are they like humans or 1607 01:23:45,000 --> 01:23:47,320 Speaker 1: they like animals? They can also fly? I don't know. 1608 01:23:47,400 --> 01:23:51,599 Speaker 1: I'm fascinated to see how this progresses. I'm not a 1609 01:23:51,600 --> 01:23:57,040 Speaker 1: big sci fi alien type guy, right, Alien the movie 1610 01:23:57,120 --> 01:24:00,360 Speaker 1: back in the Day, not really my jam, I'm not 1611 01:24:00,439 --> 01:24:02,880 Speaker 1: into that. But if they're real, like, this isn't sci fi, 1612 01:24:02,960 --> 01:24:06,639 Speaker 1: this is real life and they just exist. Which again, 1613 01:24:06,720 --> 01:24:09,400 Speaker 1: I'm not a big alien guy right in terms of like, 1614 01:24:09,439 --> 01:24:12,720 Speaker 1: I don't read a lot about them, you know, back like, 1615 01:24:12,880 --> 01:24:14,920 Speaker 1: those aren't the type books I would read or even 1616 01:24:14,960 --> 01:24:17,160 Speaker 1: movies that I watch. It's not what I do for entertainment, 1617 01:24:17,240 --> 01:24:21,040 Speaker 1: besides just some of the major hits Independence Day. So 1618 01:24:21,160 --> 01:24:23,200 Speaker 1: I just I just envisioned that thing coming down and 1619 01:24:23,240 --> 01:24:26,439 Speaker 1: I'm shooting the circular sphere down and us just kind 1620 01:24:26,439 --> 01:24:28,439 Speaker 1: of running for our life. I hope that's not the case, 1621 01:24:28,439 --> 01:24:31,320 Speaker 1: and I hope they just come interact. Huge fan of 1622 01:24:31,360 --> 01:24:34,680 Speaker 1: the pod, even send it to my girlfriend. Huge Cowboys fan. 1623 01:24:34,960 --> 01:24:38,320 Speaker 1: Optimistic about the Week one performance? Is it just me? 1624 01:24:38,640 --> 01:24:42,120 Speaker 1: Did the offense not click as much as you would want? 1625 01:24:42,520 --> 01:24:46,320 Speaker 1: Defense was obviously dominating, but offense didn't have a long 1626 01:24:46,439 --> 01:24:50,600 Speaker 1: sustained drive. DAK stats weren't great and more so just 1627 01:24:50,680 --> 01:24:53,120 Speaker 1: didn't pass the eye test on the side of the 1628 01:24:53,160 --> 01:24:56,080 Speaker 1: ball thoughts looking forward and enjoying this season of three 1629 01:24:56,120 --> 01:24:58,200 Speaker 1: and now. I do think when you get into a 1630 01:24:58,240 --> 01:25:02,200 Speaker 1: position where you're you get a field goal block, you 1631 01:25:02,240 --> 01:25:06,400 Speaker 1: get a pick six, and you're in the teams, right, 1632 01:25:06,840 --> 01:25:09,280 Speaker 1: I forget the exact score was sixteen to nothing or 1633 01:25:09,320 --> 01:25:11,960 Speaker 1: eighteen to nothing or whatever. You're in the twenties before 1634 01:25:11,960 --> 01:25:15,639 Speaker 1: you even scored an offensive touchdown, right, I do wonder, 1635 01:25:15,680 --> 01:25:18,040 Speaker 1: and listen, I've never been a coach in the NFL, 1636 01:25:18,360 --> 01:25:21,040 Speaker 1: but if I'm McCarthy and this was a huge game, 1637 01:25:21,080 --> 01:25:23,080 Speaker 1: and then you're coming into the game, just like any 1638 01:25:23,080 --> 01:25:25,479 Speaker 1: coach goes into a game thinking that this thing could 1639 01:25:25,520 --> 01:25:28,200 Speaker 1: be tight, and we got to be fully prepared to 1640 01:25:28,280 --> 01:25:30,760 Speaker 1: run everything in anything to get us to win the game, 1641 01:25:30,800 --> 01:25:33,040 Speaker 1: because that's the whole goal. Whether you win two to 1642 01:25:33,040 --> 01:25:35,920 Speaker 1: nothing or whether you win fifty to forty eight, it 1643 01:25:35,920 --> 01:25:37,800 Speaker 1: doesn't matter, but you have to do whatever it takes 1644 01:25:37,800 --> 01:25:40,920 Speaker 1: to win. Once you get a huge lead, I do 1645 01:25:41,000 --> 01:25:43,200 Speaker 1: wonder if you scrap the game plan a little bit, 1646 01:25:43,840 --> 01:25:46,200 Speaker 1: right once you get up in the mid twenties, the weather, 1647 01:25:46,320 --> 01:25:50,960 Speaker 1: it's raining your defense. It's clear the Giants are fucked. 1648 01:25:51,800 --> 01:25:54,680 Speaker 1: Think you scrap a lot of plays, and so I 1649 01:25:54,720 --> 01:25:57,160 Speaker 1: do wonder. Now do I think they're like a couple 1650 01:25:57,200 --> 01:25:58,720 Speaker 1: of years ago, they're going to be the number one 1651 01:25:58,720 --> 01:26:01,320 Speaker 1: offense in the league. I don't. But I have a 1652 01:26:01,360 --> 01:26:06,400 Speaker 1: hard time making some like a overall statement that their 1653 01:26:06,439 --> 01:26:09,760 Speaker 1: offense is sluggish and off in a game like that, 1654 01:26:10,040 --> 01:26:12,479 Speaker 1: because some games your defense just gets to dominate and 1655 01:26:12,520 --> 01:26:15,080 Speaker 1: your offense is kind of irrelevant. And when your offense 1656 01:26:15,160 --> 01:26:18,000 Speaker 1: is irrelevant, I don't want to say, guys check out. 1657 01:26:18,120 --> 01:26:21,160 Speaker 1: But the ebb and flow of a normal performance is 1658 01:26:21,240 --> 01:26:25,559 Speaker 1: not normal. So I wouldn't put too much stock into 1659 01:26:25,600 --> 01:26:27,439 Speaker 1: it now if it happens in a game that's like 1660 01:26:27,479 --> 01:26:30,439 Speaker 1: twenty to twenty or just you know, games that look 1661 01:26:30,560 --> 01:26:33,320 Speaker 1: like I don't know, actual NFL football games, because let's 1662 01:26:33,360 --> 01:26:36,280 Speaker 1: face it, that game is not like a game that 1663 01:26:36,320 --> 01:26:39,120 Speaker 1: you're going to watch against two playoff teams. Clearly that 1664 01:26:39,200 --> 01:26:41,280 Speaker 1: the Cowboys are way better than the Giants, same with 1665 01:26:41,320 --> 01:26:43,160 Speaker 1: the Eagles. Like that that gap I thought was going 1666 01:26:43,240 --> 01:26:49,599 Speaker 1: to close as extended or at least maintained. I do wonder, though, 1667 01:26:51,040 --> 01:26:53,360 Speaker 1: if they didn't call a lot of plays that they 1668 01:26:53,360 --> 01:26:57,400 Speaker 1: were planning on calling. Question, do you think case first 1669 01:26:57,479 --> 01:27:01,040 Speaker 1: round picks for the last three years have Ben Buss 1670 01:27:01,880 --> 01:27:06,080 Speaker 1: two years ago? They I think the guys that are 1671 01:27:06,080 --> 01:27:09,360 Speaker 1: in their second year McDuffie and Karloskis, who are pretty 1672 01:27:09,400 --> 01:27:12,760 Speaker 1: damn good. Didn't McDuffie cause a fumble in that game? 1673 01:27:13,280 --> 01:27:16,160 Speaker 1: Karloskas has played a lot the last obviously played a 1674 01:27:16,160 --> 01:27:17,920 Speaker 1: lot last year. I thought he was making plays the 1675 01:27:17,960 --> 01:27:21,160 Speaker 1: other night, So I would say no on that group. Uh. 1676 01:27:21,479 --> 01:27:23,840 Speaker 1: I forget who they took two years ago. I know 1677 01:27:23,880 --> 01:27:26,160 Speaker 1: they took Clyde a while back. Yeah, they'd like a 1678 01:27:26,200 --> 01:27:29,200 Speaker 1: redo on Clyde. I do support when they took Clyde. 1679 01:27:29,280 --> 01:27:31,400 Speaker 1: I thought he was going to be really good. But 1680 01:27:31,920 --> 01:27:35,000 Speaker 1: I always said this about Trenton Balkey because when Trent 1681 01:27:35,040 --> 01:27:37,160 Speaker 1: Balkey first became the GM of the Niners, he was 1682 01:27:37,240 --> 01:27:39,920 Speaker 1: hitting on all these picks. And then Harbass showed up 1683 01:27:39,920 --> 01:27:42,400 Speaker 1: and they started winning. They started going to the championship game, 1684 01:27:42,400 --> 01:27:44,439 Speaker 1: they started going to the Super Bowl, and all the 1685 01:27:44,560 --> 01:27:48,679 Speaker 1: draft picks were, you know, twenty nine to thirty two, right, 1686 01:27:48,720 --> 01:27:52,120 Speaker 1: they'd never won thirty one. Right. Drafting in like the 1687 01:27:52,160 --> 01:27:56,400 Speaker 1: teens is dramatically easier than drafting every round at pick 1688 01:27:56,479 --> 01:28:01,840 Speaker 1: twenty nine, twenty six, thirty right, just the talent is 1689 01:28:01,880 --> 01:28:05,040 Speaker 1: depleted when it's time for your pick. So I would 1690 01:28:05,080 --> 01:28:07,880 Speaker 1: say two years ago when they took McDuffie and the 1691 01:28:07,920 --> 01:28:11,040 Speaker 1: Purdue pass rusher, I would say that it's a good pick. 1692 01:28:11,720 --> 01:28:14,920 Speaker 1: But I don't know, John, Why do you and so 1693 01:28:15,080 --> 01:28:18,240 Speaker 1: many in the media make excuses for Sam Dornold versus 1694 01:28:18,240 --> 01:28:21,200 Speaker 1: holding him accountable for his terrible play. He is on 1695 01:28:21,280 --> 01:28:24,439 Speaker 1: his third team in five years because two teams told 1696 01:28:24,479 --> 01:28:28,360 Speaker 1: the entire NFL he stinks. He had a seventh ranked 1697 01:28:28,400 --> 01:28:31,320 Speaker 1: defense in New York and he was awful. He had 1698 01:28:31,320 --> 01:28:34,679 Speaker 1: the second ranked defense in Carolina along with Christian McCaffrey 1699 01:28:34,720 --> 01:28:39,840 Speaker 1: and DJ Moore, and he was awful. Please explain well offensively, 1700 01:28:39,920 --> 01:28:42,880 Speaker 1: let's go around his coach in New York, Adam Gase, 1701 01:28:43,240 --> 01:28:47,719 Speaker 1: is a laughingstock by fans, by people in the league currently. 1702 01:28:47,760 --> 01:28:50,240 Speaker 1: I don't even think he has a job right dedicated 1703 01:28:50,280 --> 01:28:52,479 Speaker 1: his whole life to being a football coach. No one 1704 01:28:52,520 --> 01:28:55,479 Speaker 1: hires him right now to coordinate an offense. And then 1705 01:28:55,560 --> 01:28:57,880 Speaker 1: Joe Douglas got him, and clearly they just moved on. 1706 01:28:57,920 --> 01:29:02,400 Speaker 1: They were going to draft Sack Wilson to Carolina Matt 1707 01:29:02,479 --> 01:29:05,240 Speaker 1: Rules as head coach. I think there's a chance that 1708 01:29:05,280 --> 01:29:11,240 Speaker 1: Matt Rule is committing like legal robbery right now. Nebraska 1709 01:29:11,320 --> 01:29:14,960 Speaker 1: is paying him seventy million dollars. Did you watch his quarterback? 1710 01:29:15,560 --> 01:29:18,840 Speaker 1: Is there a chance Matt Rule knows absolutely nothing about 1711 01:29:18,920 --> 01:29:22,320 Speaker 1: quarterback play? And I know he's not technically the offensive coordinator, 1712 01:29:22,439 --> 01:29:24,599 Speaker 1: but he is the head fucking coach. He has a 1713 01:29:24,640 --> 01:29:29,160 Speaker 1: former offensive line coach, he's an offensive coach. Well that's 1714 01:29:29,160 --> 01:29:32,360 Speaker 1: who he got, so he got he got Matt Rule, 1715 01:29:32,920 --> 01:29:35,600 Speaker 1: Joe Brady who had to fire in the middle of 1716 01:29:35,640 --> 01:29:39,280 Speaker 1: the season, and last year McAdoo, which they went with 1717 01:29:39,280 --> 01:29:42,320 Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield because the owner wanted to start him. Clearly, 1718 01:29:42,400 --> 01:29:44,040 Speaker 1: by the end of the season when Sam came back in, 1719 01:29:44,080 --> 01:29:46,840 Speaker 1: he was playing pretty good. So I would say this, 1720 01:29:47,400 --> 01:29:49,960 Speaker 1: if he stinks with Kyle Shanahan, he's not a very 1721 01:29:50,000 --> 01:29:51,800 Speaker 1: good player if he ever gets to play, which he 1722 01:29:51,880 --> 01:29:53,880 Speaker 1: might never get to play. And we're also talking about 1723 01:29:53,880 --> 01:29:56,880 Speaker 1: a backup quarterback making three million dollars. But if you 1724 01:29:56,920 --> 01:30:00,719 Speaker 1: get the opportunity to play with a really good coach, McVeigh, 1725 01:30:00,800 --> 01:30:05,280 Speaker 1: Andy offensive head coach Andy Reid, Right, Kyle Shanahan just 1726 01:30:05,280 --> 01:30:07,920 Speaker 1: go around the league. I think Lafleur is proving it 1727 01:30:08,160 --> 01:30:10,120 Speaker 1: in Green Bay to be a good offensive coach. And 1728 01:30:10,160 --> 01:30:13,479 Speaker 1: you're not good, that's a U problem, right like Trey Lance. 1729 01:30:13,560 --> 01:30:15,720 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, Kyle Shannan thinks you're not good. When's the 1730 01:30:15,760 --> 01:30:17,640 Speaker 1: last time Kyle Shannan thought a guy wasn't good and 1731 01:30:17,680 --> 01:30:20,200 Speaker 1: he turned out to be good? Oh wait at that position, 1732 01:30:20,240 --> 01:30:23,120 Speaker 1: I'm not saying every I'm talking about quarterback. Right, Brock 1733 01:30:23,160 --> 01:30:26,280 Speaker 1: Purdy gets in, they win. He looks awesome. Kyle Shanahan 1734 01:30:26,320 --> 01:30:29,400 Speaker 1: believes in Sam Dorms again for three million dollars and 1735 01:30:29,479 --> 01:30:32,920 Speaker 1: as a backup, thinks he is dramatically better than the 1736 01:30:32,960 --> 01:30:35,640 Speaker 1: guy that he drafted number three overall. Now, if he 1737 01:30:35,720 --> 01:30:38,479 Speaker 1: got in and he wasn't good, one hundred percent agree 1738 01:30:38,479 --> 01:30:40,840 Speaker 1: with you. But if Sam Donald got in, I would 1739 01:30:40,880 --> 01:30:43,360 Speaker 1: bet on him looking solid. Is he as good as Purty? No, 1740 01:30:43,479 --> 01:30:46,320 Speaker 1: he's not. Would they win with Sam Donald? I think 1741 01:30:46,360 --> 01:30:48,519 Speaker 1: they would. I would say, guy that's not in the 1742 01:30:48,520 --> 01:30:52,080 Speaker 1: top ten look any good? With Matt Ruhle or definitely 1743 01:30:52,080 --> 01:30:55,720 Speaker 1: Adam Gase. In those situations, I would say no. So 1744 01:30:55,840 --> 01:30:58,519 Speaker 1: part of your situation, like Matt Stafford, proved he can 1745 01:30:58,560 --> 01:31:00,720 Speaker 1: play with kind of anybody. Put him on a good team, 1746 01:31:00,720 --> 01:31:02,439 Speaker 1: they're gonna be really good. You can put him on 1747 01:31:02,439 --> 01:31:04,720 Speaker 1: a shitty team, he's still gonna look pretty solid. Most 1748 01:31:04,720 --> 01:31:07,920 Speaker 1: guys are not that, right, Sam Donald's not that. Sam 1749 01:31:08,000 --> 01:31:12,759 Speaker 1: Donald can't overcome incompetence. Justin Herbert. He's with the Chargers. 1750 01:31:13,040 --> 01:31:18,479 Speaker 1: He overcomes weekly, yearly incompetence. Right, He's a freak town 1751 01:31:18,640 --> 01:31:21,280 Speaker 1: Sam Donald. I'm not comparing him to like high end guys, 1752 01:31:21,880 --> 01:31:24,360 Speaker 1: but I'm also like, if he's your backup quarterback, I 1753 01:31:24,360 --> 01:31:25,760 Speaker 1: think that's a pretty good backup quarter Look at some 1754 01:31:25,800 --> 01:31:28,519 Speaker 1: of the guys that are backup quarterbacks look around the league. 1755 01:31:29,160 --> 01:31:33,000 Speaker 1: So yeah, no one's acting like he's the next coming 1756 01:31:33,000 --> 01:31:35,920 Speaker 1: of Peyton Manning here. But this notion that he's as 1757 01:31:36,040 --> 01:31:39,960 Speaker 1: bad as he was in those situations, I would question it, Like, John, 1758 01:31:40,000 --> 01:31:42,440 Speaker 1: why are you out on Trey Lance because Kyle Shanahan 1759 01:31:42,479 --> 01:31:47,240 Speaker 1: thinks he stinks? Right, I'm sorry, Like, if that's the case, 1760 01:31:47,400 --> 01:31:50,920 Speaker 1: I'm out. The all pro guys on that team don't 1761 01:31:50,920 --> 01:31:53,320 Speaker 1: think he's any good. Why are you? Why do you 1762 01:31:53,360 --> 01:31:55,280 Speaker 1: like Brock Purty? Well, obviously you watch a play, he's 1763 01:31:55,280 --> 01:31:58,400 Speaker 1: pretty good, but his teammates that are all all pros 1764 01:31:58,439 --> 01:32:00,920 Speaker 1: and pro bowlers and high end guys. They all think 1765 01:32:00,920 --> 01:32:03,240 Speaker 1: he's a stud. I saw right before I recorded this, 1766 01:32:03,520 --> 01:32:07,519 Speaker 1: Deebo Samuel posted a pick of Purdy. It was the 1767 01:32:07,560 --> 01:32:09,200 Speaker 1: back so you can see the back of his jersey 1768 01:32:09,200 --> 01:32:12,559 Speaker 1: and instead of Perdy, it just said him, like that's him? 1769 01:32:12,640 --> 01:32:16,120 Speaker 1: What all the kids are saying, he's him? What? However 1770 01:32:16,160 --> 01:32:17,800 Speaker 1: the hell you say that? I feel like a thirty 1771 01:32:17,800 --> 01:32:20,200 Speaker 1: eight year old who in a you know, like I'm seventy, 1772 01:32:20,560 --> 01:32:22,680 Speaker 1: you know what I mean. But those guys believe in 1773 01:32:22,720 --> 01:32:26,040 Speaker 1: that guy, and they like Sam Darnold too, So I 1774 01:32:26,200 --> 01:32:29,559 Speaker 1: put stock Like every single player, I don't put stock 1775 01:32:29,560 --> 01:32:31,920 Speaker 1: in their opinions. But like when Jason Kelsey tells me 1776 01:32:31,960 --> 01:32:34,240 Speaker 1: two years ago, like we got something in Jalen Hurts. 1777 01:32:34,320 --> 01:32:37,479 Speaker 1: You listen, you listen. If Patrick Mahomes goes, I really 1778 01:32:37,560 --> 01:32:40,160 Speaker 1: like this young wide receiver, I'm gonna pay attention. Tom 1779 01:32:40,200 --> 01:32:43,280 Speaker 1: Brady forever had certain guys that he liked, or Peyton Manning, 1780 01:32:43,479 --> 01:32:47,000 Speaker 1: like I gravitate toward that. Certain guys have more equity 1781 01:32:47,040 --> 01:32:50,240 Speaker 1: built up with their ability to have an opinion on 1782 01:32:50,280 --> 01:32:52,400 Speaker 1: a player, no different than a GM or a coach 1783 01:32:53,080 --> 01:32:56,360 Speaker 1: so those guys think he's better than you think he is. 1784 01:32:57,360 --> 01:32:59,559 Speaker 1: And again like you're acting like who are we comparing 1785 01:32:59,640 --> 01:33:02,960 Speaker 1: him to? Is he better than Lamar Jackson and Justin 1786 01:33:03,040 --> 01:33:05,920 Speaker 1: Hrbert and Jalen Hurts. Of course not. He's also a 1787 01:33:05,960 --> 01:33:10,000 Speaker 1: three million dollar backup quarterback. Appreciate everyone listening.
