1

Speaker 1: Our buddy Chris Simms is with us. He's in a rush.

2
00:00:12,160 --> 00:00:13,160
Speaker 1: He's already yelling.

Speaker 3: Simms.

7
00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:27,840
Speaker 1: We have a wildcred weekend ahead of us here. Get

8
00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:30,720
Speaker 1: all the talk is about coaches. So Mike McDaniel just

9
00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:34,199
Speaker 1: let go. According to Adam Shefter by the Miami Dolphins,

10
00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:35,000
Speaker 1: you surprised by that.

11
00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:37,440
Speaker 2: I am surprised. I am. I mean, you know, like

12
00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:41,240
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna say shocked. I'm not shocked. I understood

13
00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:44,080
Speaker 2: this could happen, but I thought, you know, as far

14
00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:47,919
Speaker 2: as getting here to Thursday after week eighteen, I thought, okay,

15
00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:50,800
Speaker 2: he's made it. He's made a few comments like it

16
00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:52,839
Speaker 2: sounds like I'll be a part of interviewing some of

17
00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:56,040
Speaker 2: the gms. So you know, from that standpoint, that's where

18
00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:58,640
Speaker 2: I was surprised. We all knew this was on the radar.

19
00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:01,480
Speaker 2: Radar in Miami, and you guys know my thoughts on

20
00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:04,559
Speaker 2: this in general. I don't think he should have been fired.

21
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:07,920
Speaker 2: I don't you know, we've discussed this at length. I mean,

22
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:10,240
Speaker 2: this is one of the greatest offensive mines in football.

23
00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:13,319
Speaker 2: This is the guy that was a trendsetter for everybody

24
00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:16,520
Speaker 2: in football for about a three year period, right, I mean,

25
00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:18,560
Speaker 2: they go to the playoffs without two, they go to

26
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:21,520
Speaker 2: the playoffs with TUA, they almost go to the playoffs again,

27
00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:27,400
Speaker 2: everybody's copying their offense and what they're doing, all along

28
00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:30,400
Speaker 2: with bad team building going on behind the scenes by

29
00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:33,760
Speaker 2: the GM and then all along while doing this where

30
00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:36,440
Speaker 2: I know two and On was after me and everybody,

31
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:38,800
Speaker 2: but like, yeah, hey, two and On, I was right,

32
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:42,560
Speaker 2: you were wrong. Suck it okay, And he can't stand

33
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:45,080
Speaker 2: in the pocket and he can't throw the ball down

34
00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:46,920
Speaker 2: the field, and yet still it was one of the

35
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:50,040
Speaker 2: top offenses in football. So yeah, that's where I don't

36
00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:53,480
Speaker 2: believe Mike McDaniel should be fired. But regardless, I don't

37
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:55,360
Speaker 2: think it'll be long. I do think he'll get a

38
00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:57,720
Speaker 2: chance again at some point, maybe this year, to be

39
00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:00,440
Speaker 2: a head coach. Definitely going to be in demand for

40
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:04,000
Speaker 2: an offensive coordinator role right away. But yeah, I was

41
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:05,560
Speaker 2: a little surprised that it happened this late.

42
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:08,440
Speaker 1: What'd you make of two was comments saying a new

43
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:09,600
Speaker 1: start would be dope.

44
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:12,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean listen, I get it. I think he

45
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:15,320
Speaker 2: knows the writings on the wall right now. Now, I

46
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:18,080
Speaker 2: don't like, I don't know if he understands what the

47
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:21,240
Speaker 2: new start is yet that like the new start will

48
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:24,440
Speaker 2: be you will be a backup quarterback somewhere. I don't

49
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:27,840
Speaker 2: know if he's realized that. But either way, yes, the

50
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:30,000
Speaker 2: time has come. It's time to go separate ways, and

51
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:33,919
Speaker 2: especially with this happening now right you know they're they're

52
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:36,560
Speaker 2: going to reorganize their football team and it's going to

53
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:39,880
Speaker 2: be a totally different look from how they approach things.

54
00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:41,560
Speaker 2: And you know, the one good thing I think you

55
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:43,600
Speaker 2: could say from this, at least now you have the

56
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:47,200
Speaker 2: GM coach coming in together and there's not that little

57
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:49,760
Speaker 2: riff about you know you were here first, or you

58
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:52,240
Speaker 2: know the owner better than I do and all that,

59
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:54,720
Speaker 2: and that usually is a better formula of success.

60
00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:57,120
Speaker 1: I got to tell you too, as a backup sounds

61
00:02:57,160 --> 00:02:59,000
Speaker 1: like a luxury, like it does. He would go from

62
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:00,880
Speaker 1: he would go from the work maybe the worst starting

63
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:03,600
Speaker 1: quarterback in the NFL to the best backup quarterback in

64
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:04,079
Speaker 1: the NFL.

65
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:07,000
Speaker 2: Now, yeah, he'd he'd be exactly he would be. I mean,

66
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:09,080
Speaker 2: he knows he's played a lot, he knows where to

67
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:11,720
Speaker 2: go with the football, right, he can definitely hold down

68
00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:14,359
Speaker 2: the fort for Oh wait, our starter's hurt for four

69
00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:16,240
Speaker 2: or five weeks. You're gonna be able to trust Tua

70
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:20,000
Speaker 2: and know that and go, Okay, he's he's he's capable

71
00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:22,840
Speaker 2: of winning some football games for us here. So yes,

72
00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:26,040
Speaker 2: and and then you know within all that too, you

73
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:29,200
Speaker 2: can do that. Maybe you continue to have better showings.

74
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:31,760
Speaker 2: Maybe you getting a new offense around a quarterback coach

75
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:33,959
Speaker 2: who maybe teaches you a few things too about throwing

76
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:36,920
Speaker 2: the ball a little harder, more aggressively. Maybe you get

77
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:39,280
Speaker 2: another chance of being a starting quarterback once again.

78
00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:42,520
Speaker 4: Sims. You mentioned that Mike McDaniel is gonna most likely

79
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:46,760
Speaker 4: get head coaching looks this offseason. But if you're Mike McDaniel,

80
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:48,800
Speaker 4: how do you juggle that there's not a ton of

81
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 4: great openings when you could go somewhere like like Detroit, say,

82
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:55,040
Speaker 4: for example, and be a great offensive coordinator there with

83
00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:56,280
Speaker 4: their weapons.

84
00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:59,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's gonna be the big question. Or like, right,

85
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:01,880
Speaker 2: I go to Baltimore and be with Lamar Jackson or

86
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:04,480
Speaker 2: somebody like that, Right, I mean, you know you think

87
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:07,480
Speaker 2: about those pops like, you know, I know Baltimore is

88
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:10,000
Speaker 2: gonna interview Brian Flores and I'm like, oh my god,

89
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:12,360
Speaker 2: they get Brian Flores as head coach and Mike McDaniel

90
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:14,520
Speaker 2: is OC. Right now, I go watch it out. Holy crap,

91
00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:17,080
Speaker 2: that would be amazing, right, But yeah, that's gonna be

92
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:18,520
Speaker 2: the tough thing. And I think the tough thing to

93
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:22,919
Speaker 2: Taylor is where, yeah, you want to be picky and choosy,

94
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:27,280
Speaker 2: but at the same time, you know they only come

95
00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:30,120
Speaker 2: around so often where you have a chance, right, And

96
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:32,640
Speaker 2: that's where it becomes hard. Like if you've won a

97
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:35,719
Speaker 2: Super Bowl or two, Okay, you could say, hey, nah,

98
00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:37,560
Speaker 2: I don't think that's the right one. I don't know

99
00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:39,240
Speaker 2: this is right. I'm gonna sit out the year and

100
00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:41,479
Speaker 2: I'll wait till next year, or do something else in

101
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:44,080
Speaker 2: the meantime and wait till a better job presents itself.

102
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:48,000
Speaker 2: There's more risk with people like Mike McDaniel right again,

103
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:50,799
Speaker 2: and next year could be oh gosh, Now there's four

104
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:55,080
Speaker 2: offensive geniuses up the ranks. Again, there's another Ben Johnson

105
00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:57,680
Speaker 2: and Liam Khane and now Mike McDaniel's not the bell

106
00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:00,880
Speaker 2: of the ball as far as offensive mind. So that's

107
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:04,120
Speaker 2: what you got to take into account, right, And that's

108
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:06,920
Speaker 2: where it's gonna be tough. And yeah, that's a tough one, man.

109
00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:08,559
Speaker 2: I don't know if there's a right or wrong answer.

110
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:10,520
Speaker 2: He's just gonna have to go with his feel, his gut.

111
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:13,200
Speaker 2: And when he does go around on these interviews, what's

112
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:14,640
Speaker 2: the best situation to set them up?

113
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:15,720
Speaker 3: Chris?

114
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:16,960
Speaker 1: I want to get to the games, and I will

115
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:19,920
Speaker 1: in a second. But is John Harbaugh worth the weight?

116
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:23,160
Speaker 1: Meaning he has slowed down the entire coaching carousel here,

117
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:24,919
Speaker 1: he's gonna make his decision next week?

118
00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:25,880
Speaker 2: Is he worth it?

119
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:26,920
Speaker 3: Yeah?

120
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:29,960
Speaker 2: Well, and he knows he's the bell of the ball

121
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:32,360
Speaker 2: here at this one, right, So that's where he's like, ah,

122
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:35,080
Speaker 2: And then I think there's a possibility. I think a

123
00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 2: lot of people aren't sure, right. There's rumors out there,

124
00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:42,839
Speaker 2: could McDermott if they lose or can he be done

125
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:46,360
Speaker 2: if Lafleur and company loose to the Bears on Saturday Night?

126
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:48,600
Speaker 2: I think there's people out there that think he might

127
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:50,640
Speaker 2: be in trouble because he only got one year left

128
00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:53,719
Speaker 2: on his contract. So that's the other thing that you

129
00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:56,640
Speaker 2: think about with Harball. When I heard he was gonna

130
00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:59,600
Speaker 2: wait till next week. I went, oh, he knows something

131
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:01,640
Speaker 2: about me. Maybe one of these playoff teams that he

132
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:04,200
Speaker 2: goes there might be an opening there. I'd like to

133
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:08,279
Speaker 2: know the full landscape before I jump in anywhere. And

134
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:11,239
Speaker 2: there's a lot of places, like we talked about, there's

135
00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:14,520
Speaker 2: no offensive geniuses this year. There's no Ben Johnson or

136
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:17,599
Speaker 2: Johnson or liham cohne to where. Yes, I think a

137
00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:22,800
Speaker 2: guy like been there, done that. John Harbaugh is definitely

138
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:25,480
Speaker 2: in more demand, maybe than other years we've seen in

139
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:26,279
Speaker 2: a coaching cycle.

140
00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:29,440
Speaker 1: So Jeff Saturday told us yesterday, Chris that that stuff

141
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:31,320
Speaker 1: happens all the time in the NFL. And I'm wondering

142
00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:35,320
Speaker 1: if you agree where someone has told John Harbaugh's agent

143
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:38,760
Speaker 1: from Buffalo, hey, there's a chance here this job might

144
00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:39,320
Speaker 1: become open.

145
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:43,279
Speaker 2: That's definitely definitely. You can't stop that, right, right, You're

146
00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 2: totally right. You can't, Jeff Saturdays, Right, you can't stop that.

147
00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:49,640
Speaker 2: You can't. You know, Listen, when I've heard about some

148
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:52,080
Speaker 2: of this stuff, like, hey, there's three teams with current

149
00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:55,000
Speaker 2: head coaches that might want John Harbaugh. I don't know

150
00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:57,400
Speaker 2: if I believe three. Right At first, I was a

151
00:06:57,440 --> 00:06:59,240
Speaker 2: little bit like, hey, this is the agent, maybe just

152
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:02,800
Speaker 2: adding mule to the fire of a everybody wants John Harball,

153
00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:06,760
Speaker 2: but I would definitely expect a team or two in

154
00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:10,080
Speaker 2: situations that we've just mentioned that would be like, oh, yeah,

155
00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:15,320
Speaker 2: Harball's available. Uh oh, And yes, that's where the league

156
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:19,720
Speaker 2: can't police everything. The agent can be like, hey, I

157
00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:22,720
Speaker 2: was talking to this team about blah blah blah, and

158
00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:25,920
Speaker 2: then oh it came up that hey, this team might

159
00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:29,360
Speaker 2: be interested, and it just naturally came up whatever, Right,

160
00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:31,720
Speaker 2: So yes, I would think that he's got a good

161
00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:35,000
Speaker 2: inkling as far as teams that are interested in them.

162
00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:37,360
Speaker 2: And maybe one of these teams that were like, hey, hey,

163
00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:39,880
Speaker 2: don't go to the Giants and be blown away by

164
00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:43,040
Speaker 2: the interview and signed with them because the Packers or

165
00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:45,720
Speaker 2: the Bills might be available. I certainly can see that happen.

166
00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:47,520
Speaker 2: And yeah, that's how it does work behind the curtains

167
00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:47,920
Speaker 2: a little bit.

168
00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:50,720
Speaker 3: As a Giant fan, he would be the coach that

169
00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:51,280
Speaker 3: you would want.

170
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:54,280
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, I mean I would take him right now,

171
00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:56,840
Speaker 2: for sure. Him or Mike Tomlin, like I've always said,

172
00:07:56,920 --> 00:08:01,000
Speaker 2: I mean, that is it. And if I'm the Giants,

173
00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:03,200
Speaker 2: I hope they wig wait a week two because maybe

174
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:07,080
Speaker 2: Mike Tomlins available, maybe a McDermott's available, Maybe somebody like

175
00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:10,360
Speaker 2: that's there to where. So don't make any rash decisions there.

176
00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:14,320
Speaker 2: I know they're interviewing Kevin Stefanski. Is that today or yesterday?

177
00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:15,280
Speaker 3: That was yesterday?

178
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:18,120
Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah, it was yesterday, right, but but uh, and

179
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:21,760
Speaker 2: I understand that interview. I like Kevin Sevanski. I certainly

180
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:25,080
Speaker 2: think he's worthy of another job opportunity as a head coach.

181
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:26,600
Speaker 2: I just don't want him to be the coach of

182
00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:28,720
Speaker 2: my team. I'd like somebody else to figure out whether

183
00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:30,600
Speaker 2: he's worthy. I'm just I'm not all in on that

184
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:31,080
Speaker 2: one there.

185
00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:36,079
Speaker 5: Switching over to the football h Josh Allen has his

186
00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:39,400
Speaker 5: coaches now future in his hand as well. Has there

187
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:41,400
Speaker 5: ever been more pressure on a sixth seed in the

188
00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:44,040
Speaker 5: NFL than the Buffalo Bills right now?

189
00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:44,719
Speaker 3: Yeah?

190
00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:47,760
Speaker 2: I mean right, I mean yeah, and then everybody just hey,

191
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:49,760
Speaker 2: Lamar and Mahomes aren't there, so you should go to

192
00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:53,880
Speaker 2: the super Bowl now. It's just you know you're doing

193
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:57,679
Speaker 2: now because this isn't the sport about team. It's just

194
00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:00,559
Speaker 2: one guy, just one more than he's a capable of

195
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:03,360
Speaker 2: beating then I mean, like, it's just it's it's like

196
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:06,120
Speaker 2: some of the stuff people say just that they're just like, oh, yeah,

197
00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:08,679
Speaker 2: well it's just just year now Burrow and Lamar and

198
00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:12,240
Speaker 2: Mahomes aren't there. Oh okay, okay, how about none of

199
00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:14,800
Speaker 2: his receivers would be a top two receiver on any

200
00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:18,600
Speaker 2: team in football, Like, how about we don't talk about

201
00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:22,800
Speaker 2: one guy as being special on their defense, not one, No,

202
00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:26,760
Speaker 2: nobody's ever considered for All Pro. Maybe Christian Benford, their corner,

203
00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:29,360
Speaker 2: got some stats, I mean some votes for the All

204
00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:32,319
Speaker 2: Pro team. Other than that, when's the last time the

205
00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:34,920
Speaker 2: team came You've watched the game of Buffalo and the

206
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:37,640
Speaker 2: pregame show was like, hey, now look at these guys

207
00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:40,199
Speaker 2: on defense. You better game plan for this. I mean never,

208
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:45,439
Speaker 2: it has not happened, not happened. I believe, well, I

209
00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:49,160
Speaker 2: believe McDermott out coaches or out does the coaches. I

210
00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:52,880
Speaker 2: mean he he his coaching brings the team up, and

211
00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:56,280
Speaker 2: then Josh Allen of course brings the team up. So yeah,

212
00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:58,520
Speaker 2: there's a lot of pressure. And let's just not forget

213
00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:01,480
Speaker 2: they're not as good as Jackson. They're not. If you

214
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:04,240
Speaker 2: combined the two teams You're gonna have a whole lot

215
00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:07,000
Speaker 2: more Jaguars on that starting eleven on both sides of

216
00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:09,319
Speaker 2: the ball than you will the Bills. I expect the

217
00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:12,520
Speaker 2: Jaguars to win. I do this scares me always because

218
00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:15,920
Speaker 2: seventeen is like John Elway, and he's capable of winning

219
00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:19,319
Speaker 2: games sometimes by himself. But I think this is a

220
00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:21,840
Speaker 2: Jaguars team that's pretty complete. I would be shocked if

221
00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:22,959
Speaker 2: they didn't win the football game.

222
00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:24,600
Speaker 3: Guys, I gotta be honest.

223
00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:27,240
Speaker 1: When he's, you know, doing that thing with Josh Allen,

224
00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:31,360
Speaker 1: I feel like he's talking directly to me, like is

225
00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:35,599
Speaker 1: because I've been saying he's cleared out all the generational quarterbacks.

226
00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:39,120
Speaker 2: If not now went no, no, I'm not talking. I'm

227
00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:40,720
Speaker 2: not talking to you. I mean, it's it's a lot

228
00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:43,680
Speaker 2: of people saying that, and I understand that basic thought.

229
00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:47,120
Speaker 2: I get that. I do, but just too, I think

230
00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:49,520
Speaker 2: you know that as well. There's just more to it.

231
00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:52,880
Speaker 2: There is, and yes, it's not gonna be easy. It's

232
00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:55,599
Speaker 2: a team. It's a team. It's a team. If it

233
00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:59,000
Speaker 2: was just a quarterback, then fucking John Elway would beat

234
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:02,120
Speaker 2: Phil Simms and every Super Bowl. I'm just what we're

235
00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:04,720
Speaker 2: just gonna do that. Let's keep it fucking real here,

236
00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:07,559
Speaker 2: all right. But Phil had a team. Phil had a

237
00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:10,120
Speaker 2: team around him. But Phil was awesome. Not trying to

238
00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:13,480
Speaker 2: take that back, but yes, So, I mean, we can

239
00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:16,360
Speaker 2: go through a lot of matchups like that and Super

240
00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:20,079
Speaker 2: Bowl Hittory or whatever, and I go lesser Jalen Hurts

241
00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:23,040
Speaker 2: beat Mahomes. He's not Mahomes. Let me just tell you,

242
00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:26,640
Speaker 2: all right, there's a lot of that. So yeah, again,

243
00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:28,720
Speaker 2: that's where you and we got we forget that.

244
00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:31,079
Speaker 3: Sometimes I gotta tell you, layoff, pops. Man.

245
00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:34,640
Speaker 1: We have grown to love Phil Sims around here. He

246
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:37,080
Speaker 1: was twenty two, twenty five in that fucking Super Bowl.

247
00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:37,280
Speaker 3: Man.

248
00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:39,480
Speaker 2: You know, you know why I do it because I

249
00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:42,640
Speaker 2: feel like the point hits home harder when I bring

250
00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:46,880
Speaker 2: something personal to go. Obviously, I'm biased towards my dad.

251
00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:49,680
Speaker 2: I think he's the fucking man. But we're in an

252
00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:51,920
Speaker 2: error right now where nobody can ever get off their

253
00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:56,200
Speaker 2: bias about anything. It's I'm gonna be right until even

254
00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:58,280
Speaker 2: when you prove me wrong, I'm gonna make up another

255
00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:02,480
Speaker 2: excuse and go what about what about? And change the subject.

256
00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:06,520
Speaker 2: That's where we are right in the world, with every subject. So, yeah,

257
00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:09,880
Speaker 2: I say that because I feel like it hits home harder, right,

258
00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:13,559
Speaker 2: Phil Simms is the man. But if Dan Marino was

259
00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:15,400
Speaker 2: on the Giants, I think he would have won a

260
00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:16,120
Speaker 2: super Bowl too.

261
00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:19,319
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna say it, all right, put it on

262
00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:22,840
Speaker 1: the ball tailer. If Dan Marino was a New York Giant,

263
00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:24,120
Speaker 1: would he have won a Super Bowl? I think he

264
00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:24,880
Speaker 1: would have won five?

265
00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:29,120
Speaker 2: Damn, respect my fucking dad. I mean, what the hell

266
00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:32,640
Speaker 2: are you talking about, you asshole? He's got two. I

267
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:35,240
Speaker 2: mean he just tells me to respect my dad and

268
00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:38,120
Speaker 2: that he totally disrespects him. Okay, well, I.

269
00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:39,760
Speaker 3: Mean you did that thing where you put Marino on

270
00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:42,080
Speaker 3: the Giants Ano.

271
00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:44,880
Speaker 2: Right, right, exactly, exactly right, exactly.

272
00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:48,319
Speaker 1: Oh my god, So you like the Jags over Buffalo

273
00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:51,040
Speaker 1: Before we get to that, Chris, because I've the most

274
00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:55,880
Speaker 1: interesting thing about this entire coaching discussion is Baltimore is

275
00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:57,920
Speaker 1: the best job that's been available.

276
00:12:57,520 --> 00:12:59,600
Speaker 3: In the NFL in a long time.

277
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:03,719
Speaker 1: You talk about it an instant opportunity to win a

278
00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:07,080
Speaker 1: Super Bowl your first year as head coach. Those opportunities

279
00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:11,120
Speaker 1: don't come across potential NFL coaching candidates often, and now

280
00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:13,520
Speaker 1: you have one. And the most important hire is going

281
00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:15,720
Speaker 1: to be who they hire to be their head coach.

282
00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:17,280
Speaker 1: And I'm wondering who you think.

283
00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:17,880
Speaker 3: That should be.

284
00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:21,400
Speaker 2: I really, I don't know. I'd like to see the

285
00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:25,319
Speaker 2: rest of the landscape here as far as who becomes available, right.

286
00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:28,079
Speaker 2: But but I mean you're right in the fact of

287
00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:30,679
Speaker 2: I think it's a special job opening. You know, my

288
00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:33,280
Speaker 2: buddy Mike Floria would argue that, go, hey, there's a

289
00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:35,920
Speaker 2: lot of pressure. So I don't know if that's that's awesome.

290
00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:38,920
Speaker 2: I just go, Wait, you got one of the greatest

291
00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:41,520
Speaker 2: quarterbacks of all time, and a bunch of other pieces

292
00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:44,480
Speaker 2: that work, and an owner that's awesome, an organization that's

293
00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:46,680
Speaker 2: shown it knows how to run things to a tip

294
00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:50,880
Speaker 2: top type of way. There. I think that's a positive.

295
00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:53,120
Speaker 2: I think, you know, coaches are going to love that.

296
00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:53,559
Speaker 3: I do.

297
00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:57,880
Speaker 2: But you know, when I heard Brian Flores was interviewing there,

298
00:13:57,960 --> 00:13:59,800
Speaker 2: I just went, oh, my gosh, is he a raven.

299
00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:02,960
Speaker 2: I mean he's a raven. That's what I look at.

300
00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:05,040
Speaker 2: I go, he would be perfect for the attitude of

301
00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:07,040
Speaker 2: that defense. And I think he's got a good feel

302
00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:10,040
Speaker 2: for good offensive minds. I do think that as well,

303
00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:13,760
Speaker 2: especially having been around Josh McDaniels and Kevin O'Connell, so

304
00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:17,160
Speaker 2: he gets that aspect of it too. But yeah, let's

305
00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:19,400
Speaker 2: talk about that more next week when I can read

306
00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:21,360
Speaker 2: the landscape a little bit more, and maybe I'll throw

307
00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:23,320
Speaker 2: someone's out there that I think are really the best

308
00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:24,200
Speaker 2: fits for Baltimore.

309
00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:27,240
Speaker 3: John was a special team's coordinator.

310
00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:30,000
Speaker 1: So as an organization, this team is going to take

311
00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:31,400
Speaker 1: its time and they're going to think differently.

312
00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:31,960
Speaker 3: Is that fair?

313
00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:35,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think so right. And hardball is awesome, He's amazing.

314
00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:37,880
Speaker 2: I mean, we know that. But at the same time,

315
00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:40,680
Speaker 2: as a team that the last few years I don't

316
00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:43,120
Speaker 2: think lived up to the expectations we had or what

317
00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:46,320
Speaker 2: they had in ownership or the front office, and I

318
00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:48,360
Speaker 2: think they just felt like, hey, it's been an eighteen

319
00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:50,880
Speaker 2: year run. It's been awesome, but I think it's time

320
00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:52,680
Speaker 2: for both of us to go our separate ways and

321
00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:55,400
Speaker 2: get a fresh start. So I get that, And yeah,

322
00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:57,600
Speaker 2: Baltimore is one of the most well run organizations in

323
00:14:57,640 --> 00:14:59,920
Speaker 2: all of football. It's not a mistake or can win

324
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:01,520
Speaker 2: science that they've been at the top of the game

325
00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:03,120
Speaker 2: really for this whole century.

326

Speaker 3: Looking at the games this weekend. Mikey A right before

358
00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:54,760
Speaker 3: you came on. He loves Carolina.

359
00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:57,680
Speaker 1: He is he is pounding Carolina plus ten and a

360
00:16:57,720 --> 00:17:01,120
Speaker 1: half on ten and a half. I say, I didn't

361
00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:03,680
Speaker 1: say that, right, Yes, that goes without saying plus ten

362
00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:04,959
Speaker 1: and a half on fandul Right now?

363
00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:07,359
Speaker 3: Do you agree with mikey A That could be closer

364
00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:08,000
Speaker 3: than people think.

365
00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:10,760
Speaker 2: I have it being a little closer than but I

366
00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:12,920
Speaker 2: but he's scared to bet money on it, right I

367
00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:17,320
Speaker 2: you know the Panthers didn't stop the rams once the

368
00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:19,679
Speaker 2: first time around. I mean Matthew Stafford threw an out

369
00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:21,560
Speaker 2: route behind the guy, which I don't think you can

370
00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:23,959
Speaker 2: just depend on him doing that rarely happens. And then

371
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:26,440
Speaker 2: he threw a ball that went off the guy's head

372
00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:28,960
Speaker 2: and bat it in the air for an interception in

373
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:30,920
Speaker 2: the end zone. But they had their way, run game,

374
00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:33,560
Speaker 2: pass game. They did whatever they wanted, whatever they wanted.

375
00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:36,760
Speaker 2: The thing where I would say to mikey A to

376
00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:39,720
Speaker 2: prove or back mikey A up a little bit is

377
00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:42,359
Speaker 2: the other aspect that people don't talk about in that

378
00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:45,160
Speaker 2: game is Carolina whooped the ship out of the Rams

379
00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:49,080
Speaker 2: front seven. Yeah, this is this is where a matchup matters.

380
00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:52,600
Speaker 2: And Carolina has got this big, hulking offensive line that

381
00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:56,080
Speaker 2: can really push people around. And Robert hunts back this week.

382
00:17:56,160 --> 00:17:57,959
Speaker 2: It looks like the guard and he's an All Pro

383
00:17:58,119 --> 00:18:03,480
Speaker 2: caliber guard, so that'll line against a smaller, chaos creating

384
00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:06,600
Speaker 2: type of front. I went when I watched it back,

385
00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:09,240
Speaker 2: I went, man, Carolina didn't run the ball enough, and

386
00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:12,040
Speaker 2: the way they played it was right, run the ball screen,

387
00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:14,199
Speaker 2: little bootleg, run the ball screen. And then they had

388
00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:17,000
Speaker 2: the two fourth down conversions for touchdowns, which again I

389
00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:19,560
Speaker 2: don't think are realistic to think will happen. Consistently on

390
00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:22,200
Speaker 2: a regular basis. But I could see them running the ball,

391
00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:25,639
Speaker 2: chewing up clock and making the game a little uglier.

392
00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:28,680
Speaker 2: And it's supposed to rain and be stormy there that day.

393
00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:31,560
Speaker 2: That's where I can get behind what Mikey said. I

394
00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:34,119
Speaker 2: picked the Rams twenty seven to twenty, but again that's

395
00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:35,800
Speaker 2: diicy because I could see it being thirty four to

396
00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:37,000
Speaker 2: twenty two or something like that.

397
00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:39,840
Speaker 5: Right the other game that stood out to me, and

398
00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:44,480
Speaker 5: we'll talk it out tomorrow, But the Bears might have

399
00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:46,879
Speaker 5: won the last game, but they did it on a

400
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:49,280
Speaker 5: on a hail Mary and an on side kick. So

401
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:52,960
Speaker 5: the only games I've seen green Bay play Chicago, green

402
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:55,879
Speaker 5: Bay has owned the game except for the last minute

403
00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:58,000
Speaker 5: and a half of that game are So I love

404
00:18:58,080 --> 00:18:59,600
Speaker 5: green Bay minus the one and a half.

405
00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:03,680
Speaker 2: Well, like I hear what you're saying, I picked the

406
00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:05,560
Speaker 2: Bears to win by three. This will be a game

407
00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:07,840
Speaker 2: that I wouldn't bet on. I will not bet on

408
00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:12,359
Speaker 2: this game. I don't trust it. Right, You're exactly right, Mikey.

409
00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:15,000
Speaker 2: The better team on the field in both games was

410
00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:18,120
Speaker 2: the Packers. They met. The stats of that second game

411
00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:19,920
Speaker 2: are the last two drives of the game by the

412
00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:22,000
Speaker 2: Bears in the overtime touchdown. That was the only time

413
00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:24,159
Speaker 2: they really moved the ball the whole game, right, So,

414
00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:27,840
Speaker 2: like Jeff Hafley decoordinated the Packers, he had his way

415
00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:31,360
Speaker 2: with Ben Jonson them, this game will be Caleb Williams

416
00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:33,760
Speaker 2: is gonna have to make passing plays in the drop

417
00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:36,240
Speaker 2: back passing game, which he did not do in either

418
00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:40,840
Speaker 2: one of those matchups. My only trepidation there is that

419
00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:43,760
Speaker 2: it's a four game losing streak. They seem like they've

420
00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:46,080
Speaker 2: been in a funk ever since Michael Parson got hurt,

421
00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:48,639
Speaker 2: and we got a quarterback that hasn't played football in

422
00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:51,119
Speaker 2: four weeks, where I go, it's just hard for me

423
00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:52,800
Speaker 2: to get behind that and go, oh yeah, he's gonna

424
00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:54,520
Speaker 2: go into Chicago and be on his game and just

425
00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:56,960
Speaker 2: tear up the Bears defense. I just don't trust that.

426
00:19:57,480 --> 00:19:59,880
Speaker 2: I could see it being twenty three to twenty either way.

427
00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:03,440
Speaker 2: I picked the Bears just because their quarterback's been playing

428
00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:06,200
Speaker 2: that they're at home. But but I hear your thoughts there.

429
00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:07,480
Speaker 2: I totally hear your thoughts.

430
00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:09,479
Speaker 1: With all those things you just said, the Packers are

431
00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:11,359
Speaker 1: still the favorites, all the things working against them, the

432
00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:12,800
Speaker 1: Packers are still wanting ahead because the.

433
00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:15,200
Speaker 2: People see what Mike Ye saw, they go, Wait, the

434
00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:17,080
Speaker 2: Packers were the better team on the field than both

435
00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:19,440
Speaker 2: those games. So I totally get that, and like I said,

436
00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:22,600
Speaker 2: I wouldn't bet money on that game. If Lafleur loses.

437
00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:25,040
Speaker 2: Is that another coach who could be fired? I think

438
00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:28,199
Speaker 2: that's definitely Yeah, it seems like it's a possibility, right.

439
00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:30,879
Speaker 2: I do think that's the word on the street, and

440
00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:33,720
Speaker 2: we'll see where it goes. And the fact that Harbaugh,

441
00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:36,680
Speaker 2: you know, is waiting, but again, like we talked about,

442
00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:38,840
Speaker 2: would tell me that he thinks one of these playoff

443
00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:40,880
Speaker 2: teams coaches is going to go and that's why he's

444
00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:43,040
Speaker 2: not going to jump into this interview process, agreed.

445
00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:46,159
Speaker 5: Just to clarify, you're saying Lafleur could be fired if

446
00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:49,040
Speaker 5: through back channels they think they have Harbaugh, like you

447
00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:50,920
Speaker 5: don't think he's going to get fired, and then they're

448
00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:53,680
Speaker 5: just going to start from interview process.

449
00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:56,800
Speaker 2: I don't know either way. I don't know either way.

450
00:20:56,920 --> 00:21:00,280
Speaker 2: I think there could be The Packers front off. They

451
00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:02,560
Speaker 2: said they weren't going to extend the contracts. He's got

452
00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:05,680
Speaker 2: one more year left, all right, You know this is

453
00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:07,520
Speaker 2: what three years in a row is the seventh seed.

454
00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:09,440
Speaker 2: I wouldn't fire. I just want to make sure I'm

455
00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:12,639
Speaker 2: very clear about that. I would definitely not do it,

456
00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:15,440
Speaker 2: but I i'm you know, just paying attention to the

457
00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:17,320
Speaker 2: lay of the land in the NFL. It does seem

458
00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:19,080
Speaker 2: like it's on their radar to agree.

459
00:21:19,560 --> 00:21:21,680
Speaker 4: Bears Packers is a great rivalry, but I think a

460
00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:25,640
Speaker 4: sneaky rivalry that's kind of developed here. Lafloridaverus Ben Johnson.

461
00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:26,400
Speaker 3: I kind of love.

462
00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:27,840
Speaker 4: I kind of loved their back and forth.

463
00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:30,359
Speaker 3: Yes, well no, it's Ben just one way just ripping.

464
00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:33,880
Speaker 2: I think they both have great respect for each other.

465
00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:37,159
Speaker 2: I think Ben's like edgy and he just likes poking

466
00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:39,560
Speaker 2: the bear and having fun with it, right, But I

467
00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:41,960
Speaker 2: think he both they both look at it as like offensive.

468
00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:44,560
Speaker 2: Like I talked to Matt Lafour at the owners meeting

469
00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:47,600
Speaker 2: right after Ben Johnson had made some of those comments,

470
00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:50,199
Speaker 2: and I was like, oh, man, Ben was riding you hard. Hi,

471
00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:52,040
Speaker 2: you guys are pretty good friends. And He's like, I've

472
00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:54,119
Speaker 2: actually never really talked to him, and I was like.

473
00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:54,679
Speaker 3: Wow, I.

474
00:21:56,680 --> 00:21:59,240
Speaker 2: Was like that's even better, right, But I I know

475
00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:01,640
Speaker 2: Matt laf were for a long time. He doesn't take

476
00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:04,919
Speaker 2: it personal. He knows his gamesmanship. And uh, those are

477
00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:08,679
Speaker 2: two big time competitors and and two awesome offensive mins.

478
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:17,880
Speaker 3: The rare bear poking the bear right, get bear tomorrow

479
00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:19,400
Speaker 3: from Arizona.

480
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:23,360
Speaker 1: Chris, I find it hard to believe that San Francisco,

481
00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:25,119
Speaker 1: who's had a great season, he should be coach of

482
00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:28,480
Speaker 1: the Year, I think, But I just think Philadelphia there's

483
00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:31,520
Speaker 1: too many injuries on San Francisco's side. I think losing

484
00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:33,960
Speaker 1: that game kind of deflates them a little bit, where

485
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:35,639
Speaker 1: they had a chance to be the one seed in

486
00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:38,439
Speaker 1: the NFC across the country to Philly.

487
00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:39,720
Speaker 3: Philly's at home.

488
00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:41,520
Speaker 1: We know how that fan base is gonna be minus

489
00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:43,119
Speaker 1: four and a half on FANDLE right now. I just

490
00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:45,320
Speaker 1: think for me, Philly is the best bet of the weekend.

491
00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:46,840
Speaker 1: I just think that game's not gonna be close.

492
00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:49,520
Speaker 2: I think it's it's just up there. I know what

493
00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:51,600
Speaker 2: you're saying too. The only thing that scares me there

494
00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:53,679
Speaker 2: is just the you know, the shitty Philly offense, right

495
00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:56,560
Speaker 2: what's gonna show up? Are they gonna disappear for three quarters?

496
00:22:56,560 --> 00:22:58,520
Speaker 2: They gonna come out hot for the first driver too,

497
00:22:58,560 --> 00:23:00,640
Speaker 2: and then we're never gonna see him again. That's where

498
00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:03,680
Speaker 2: it's hard to put money behind them. Clearly the better team.

499
00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:06,359
Speaker 2: I could certainly see their defense doing a lot of

500
00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:08,400
Speaker 2: the things that the Seahawks did to that forty nine

501
00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:10,760
Speaker 2: Ers offense. I have not been a believer in the

502
00:23:10,840 --> 00:23:13,119
Speaker 2: forty nine ers all year. I think you guys know that.

503
00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:14,119
Speaker 3: You know it is.

504
00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:17,800
Speaker 2: It's all coaching, right, It really has been that. I

505
00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:20,600
Speaker 2: thought that there was not It wasn't. It was more

506
00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:22,719
Speaker 2: important for them to be the number one seed than

507
00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:25,520
Speaker 2: any other team in all of football because they needed

508
00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:28,560
Speaker 2: that advantage of having a not having to play one

509
00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:31,040
Speaker 2: extra game, having to go to their home field and

510
00:23:31,119 --> 00:23:33,560
Speaker 2: doing that. They need that. You said it. They're middle

511
00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:36,720
Speaker 2: linebackers at now out in Bethune. I mean, they're a

512
00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:39,800
Speaker 2: beaten puppy. Their talent is not on par with Philadelphia.

513
00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:41,840
Speaker 2: The only reason I give them a fighting chance is,

514
00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:44,200
Speaker 2: like I said, can they come up with a formula

515
00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:47,520
Speaker 2: to go wait, we can kind of stop the run

516
00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:49,719
Speaker 2: and we can figure out how to stop the simple

517
00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:53,399
Speaker 2: pass game Like I right, Like you know, Philly should

518
00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:56,159
Speaker 2: steamroll them. If this was Philly and being able to

519
00:23:56,240 --> 00:23:58,440
Speaker 2: run the ball like they were last year it would

520
00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:00,520
Speaker 2: steamroll them. But as we know the the offense has

521
00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:02,960
Speaker 2: been all over the place. I picked a twenty to fourteen.

522
00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:06,680
Speaker 2: But if they run the ball, I wrote at the

523
00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:08,960
Speaker 2: end of my notes, if they can run and just

524
00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:11,840
Speaker 2: get the offense going, which is possible here, that playoffs

525
00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:13,360
Speaker 2: and all of a sudden they start dance the bell,

526
00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:15,760
Speaker 2: I wouldn't be shocked if they won thirty to fourteen either.

527
00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:17,159
Speaker 2: I mean, I really could see either way.

528
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:20,640
Speaker 4: Sims, how do you feel about the Chargers Patriots Patriots

529
00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:23,280
Speaker 4: minus three and a half, because from a matchup perspective,

530
00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:25,320
Speaker 4: it feels like if the Chargers could have had their

531
00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:27,880
Speaker 4: pick of teams, they would have picked New England because

532
00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:29,000
Speaker 4: of their limited pass rush.

533
00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:31,280
Speaker 1: Well, I think I did pick New England all starters

534
00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:32,720
Speaker 1: against exactly New England.

535
00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:34,840
Speaker 2: I think that's exactly what he did. I think that's

536
00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:37,680
Speaker 2: exactly right. You know, one they beat the Patriots forty

537
00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:39,840
Speaker 2: to seven last year. I know that was Gerd May

538
00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:42,800
Speaker 2: and the Patriots there, but I think you said it right, Taylor.

539
00:24:43,119 --> 00:24:44,920
Speaker 2: I think they looked at it and went, wait, pass

540
00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:48,040
Speaker 2: rushes are kryptonite. The Patriots don't have the greatest you know,

541
00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:51,159
Speaker 2: pass rush in the history of football. They don't, and

542
00:24:51,359 --> 00:24:53,680
Speaker 2: they're a team that's you know again young, This is

543
00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:56,520
Speaker 2: a new experience for them. They're not battle tested in

544
00:24:56,640 --> 00:24:59,720
Speaker 2: kallus that way as far as playoff football. Yet, this

545
00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:02,040
Speaker 2: along with the Bears Packers game to me or the

546
00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:04,120
Speaker 2: two coin flip games of the weekend, where I would

547
00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:06,040
Speaker 2: just go, I wouldn't bet on it. I could see

548
00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:08,399
Speaker 2: it going either way. I'm gonna take the Patriots at

549
00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:12,959
Speaker 2: home winning twenty to seventeen. But like, here's some other

550
00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:15,840
Speaker 2: things that I'll throw at you. One, nobody just throws

551
00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:18,200
Speaker 2: the ball on the Chargers defense, so that's scary. And

552
00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:20,680
Speaker 2: Drake Man his first playoff appearance, that's gonna be a

553
00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:24,600
Speaker 2: new experience for him, you know. So I look at

554
00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:27,159
Speaker 2: that Justin Herbert, he's sick of here and talking to

555
00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:29,280
Speaker 2: everybody talking about, oh, we didn't win a playoff game,

556
00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:31,880
Speaker 2: And Justin Herbert has learned how to play backyard football

557
00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:34,720
Speaker 2: and will his team to victories. Their receivers are a

558
00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:36,800
Speaker 2: little bit better than people give them credit for. I

559
00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:39,040
Speaker 2: think they're a little more dangerous in the past game

560
00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:42,520
Speaker 2: than people realize. So those are ways I look at

561
00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:45,840
Speaker 2: to go the Chargers can win the football game. But

562
00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:48,760
Speaker 2: I'm gonna take the Patriots and the fact that they're home,

563
00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:53,280
Speaker 2: and I trust Josh McDaniels more to crack the Jesse

564
00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:56,200
Speaker 2: Minner code than I do Greg Roman to trust the

565
00:25:56,280 --> 00:25:59,200
Speaker 2: Mike Vrabol code. But like I said, I wouldn't bet

566
00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:01,199
Speaker 2: on it. I'm going to take the Patriots twenty to seventeen,

567
00:26:01,280 --> 00:26:02,080
Speaker 2: but would not be shocked.

568
00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:04,280
Speaker 1: I its the other way around, Chris, what a great

569
00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:07,800
Speaker 1: opportunity both Trevor Lawrence and Justin Herbert have because a

570
00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:10,719
Speaker 1: lot of there's so much talk about these two quarterbacks

571
00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:13,080
Speaker 1: and whether or not they're worth the money and whether.

572
00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:15,879
Speaker 3: Or not they're elite quarterbacks. In Lawrence's case, if you

573
00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:16,560
Speaker 3: could beat.

574
00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:19,440
Speaker 1: Josh Allen first round of the playoffs, wow, that would

575
00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:21,680
Speaker 1: get a lot of people off your back. And in

576
00:26:21,760 --> 00:26:24,360
Speaker 1: Herbert's case, if you could beat Mike Rabel and Drake

577
00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:27,320
Speaker 1: May in New England in Foxborough, that would get everyone

578
00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:27,920
Speaker 1: off your back.

579
00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:31,720
Speaker 2: Definitely. I agreed, right, these are tie These are these

580
00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:33,639
Speaker 2: are the type of games that can change the narrative,

581
00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:35,719
Speaker 2: I think, is what you're basically saying, and make us

582
00:26:35,720 --> 00:26:38,480
Speaker 2: all those two guys in particular, Yes, exactly, and you know,

583
00:26:38,600 --> 00:26:40,760
Speaker 2: like we've talked about with Trevor, that's I think one

584
00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:42,920
Speaker 2: of the reasons that people don't trust him and why

585
00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:45,560
Speaker 2: they're what are they are? They an underdog the Buffalo

586
00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:47,800
Speaker 2: right now. It's all because of the quarterback, the quarterback,

587
00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:50,240
Speaker 2: the quarterback, the quarterback, and nobody wants to totally trust

588
00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:52,879
Speaker 2: Trevor in this situation yet. So I'm with you all

589
00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:53,880
Speaker 2: the way there, Stu Gotts.

590
00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:56,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, Buffalo is minus one and a half. Taylor, you're

591
00:26:56,560 --> 00:26:59,240
Speaker 1: going to the New England game. You asked field Yates

592
00:26:59,280 --> 00:27:02,240
Speaker 1: for some exact some advice here. I feel like Christin

593
00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:03,720
Speaker 1: would be a better person to ask.

594
00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:05,520
Speaker 3: He played there. I mean he was there, you know.

595
00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:09,720
Speaker 4: Well with Chris, I was gonna say, it's the NBC

596
00:27:10,119 --> 00:27:12,560
Speaker 4: Sunday Night football game if you guys need help with

597
00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:14,639
Speaker 4: the coverage, and I'm avel.

598
00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:15,280
Speaker 3: That a boy.

599
00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:17,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, we know. So we're gonna be in the

600
00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:20,280
Speaker 2: studio where because it's like only a thirty minute pregame

601
00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:22,720
Speaker 2: show this time. We're not going to the game like

602
00:27:22,840 --> 00:27:25,720
Speaker 2: we did last week because the Eagles forty nine Ers

603
00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:27,960
Speaker 2: game is a four to thirty start, and I think

604
00:27:28,040 --> 00:27:30,120
Speaker 2: our execs kind of looked at it like that game

605
00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:33,080
Speaker 2: will go late into the seven o'clock hour, so we're

606
00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:36,240
Speaker 2: just doing a quick pregame show. So yeah, nothing I

607
00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:38,840
Speaker 2: can do for to help you there. Sorry, slugger, Sorry.

608
00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:40,720
Speaker 3: You don't want someone on location? I mean, what do

609
00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:42,919
Speaker 3: you mean, we're already.

610
00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:45,000
Speaker 2: We're already good in that department. Thanks a lot, Thanks,

611
00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:47,240
Speaker 2: we're good here, said, let me, let let me try

612
00:27:47,280 --> 00:27:47,600
Speaker 2: and ask.

613
00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:49,040
Speaker 3: But Taylor really wanted to ask.

614
00:27:49,280 --> 00:27:51,359
Speaker 1: You want any sort of access when he goes to

615
00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:52,840
Speaker 1: that game because you know everyone there.

616
00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:55,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, well I know I love that he like you know,

617
00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:57,320
Speaker 2: and and yes, I probably could have helped out, but

618
00:27:57,480 --> 00:28:00,680
Speaker 2: like on Thursday at twelve o'clock noon, it's gonna be

619
00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:06,200
Speaker 2: hard now, you know, typical typical youngster these days. Like

620
00:28:06,520 --> 00:28:08,639
Speaker 2: just the last second, let me figure it out. Let

621
00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:11,920
Speaker 2: me call in a favor. Yeah, oh hey yeah, hey,

622
00:28:12,119 --> 00:28:14,800
Speaker 2: NBC president, can you get this asshole Taylor on the

623
00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:17,840
Speaker 2: field first? Hey, mister Kraft, can you get this asshole Taylor?

624
00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:19,280
Speaker 2: I don't yeah, okay, all right.

625
00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:26,040
Speaker 5: In Taylor's defense, won the games were just announced what Monday.

626
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:27,720
Speaker 2: And Sunday night.

627
00:28:28,520 --> 00:28:29,640
Speaker 5: It can really helped me out.

628
00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:32,000
Speaker 2: Last time I asked and I gave you plenty of notice. So,

629
00:28:32,440 --> 00:28:34,359
Speaker 2: oh yeah, what was your game? You asked me about

630
00:28:34,440 --> 00:28:38,960
Speaker 2: what was Raiders Raiders Jets in Vegas? Right? Right, Well,

631
00:28:39,280 --> 00:28:42,440
Speaker 2: I didn't have my hands arms NBC game. We didn't

632
00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:45,000
Speaker 2: put that on football. Oh yes, you just missed it.

633
00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:47,880
Speaker 3: Oh no, it was a Sunday night.

634
00:28:48,280 --> 00:28:48,600
Speaker 2: It was.

635
00:28:51,880 --> 00:28:53,200
Speaker 3: The most shocking thing that happened.

636
00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:54,680
Speaker 1: And all the time we've been doing this show with

637
00:28:54,760 --> 00:28:56,360
Speaker 1: sins is to learn that the Raiders and Jets on

638
00:28:56,400 --> 00:28:57,040
Speaker 1: a Sunday night.

639
00:28:57,040 --> 00:28:59,280
Speaker 2: Game, I can't even believe that. What were we thinking

640
00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:01,120
Speaker 2: as a company that day? Well, I mean you must

641
00:29:01,160 --> 00:29:02,360
Speaker 2: have not been able to get out of that one.

642
00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:03,280
Speaker 2: I totally forgot that.

643
00:29:05,080 --> 00:29:07,320
Speaker 5: Your defense when I asked you it was like three

644
00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:09,360
Speaker 5: weeks out, and you dismissed it. You go, now we're

645
00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:10,720
Speaker 5: flexing out of that. We're gonna flex.

646
00:29:10,840 --> 00:29:12,440
Speaker 2: I think that's what I was gonna say. I was like,

647
00:29:12,520 --> 00:29:15,240
Speaker 2: I don't know how that what went down there, but okay, yeah,

648
00:29:15,240 --> 00:29:16,320
Speaker 2: we'll use that as my defense.

649
00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:18,440
Speaker 3: I like that, Yes, but that's how I was asking.

650
00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:20,360
Speaker 3: It's two days in advance, He's right, yeah.

651
00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:23,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, ideally it's gonna be it's gonna be cold in Boston,

652
00:29:23,360 --> 00:29:25,080
Speaker 4: so maybe like a suite or something on them.

653
00:29:25,120 --> 00:29:27,400
Speaker 2: I don't know, yeah right right, yeah, I'll get that.

654
00:29:27,560 --> 00:29:30,720
Speaker 2: I'll figure that out. Called Stefan Diggs and Cardi b

655
00:29:30,840 --> 00:29:31,640
Speaker 2: I'll get it all straight.

656
00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:37,440
Speaker 1: Hold on the craft, sweet, is what I was. Uh,

657

00:29:56,680 --> 00:29:58,840
Speaker 2: It's great that we have Thursday night football in a

664
00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:03,440
Speaker 2: non traditional way. I feel like I'm rooting for Old Miss,

665
00:30:03,640 --> 00:30:06,960
Speaker 2: right because the story is awesome. Yes, well, Lane Kiffin,

666
00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:09,400
Speaker 2: we want you to go here and pay ninety zillion dollars.

667
00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:11,080
Speaker 2: We're gonna pay you for here. Oh wait what your

668
00:30:11,120 --> 00:30:13,000
Speaker 2: assistant coaches are still going to coach them to a

669
00:30:13,080 --> 00:30:16,320
Speaker 2: national championship. I mean, it's just it's it's amazing that way.

670
00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:18,320
Speaker 2: And how can you not like the quarterback of Old

671
00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:20,600
Speaker 2: Miss and what he's doing. I do root for Carson

672
00:30:20,680 --> 00:30:23,560
Speaker 2: Beck in Miami. I like when Miami's good, right, it

673
00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:26,280
Speaker 2: is cool. And I like that Carson Beck who got

674
00:30:26,480 --> 00:30:29,000
Speaker 2: way too much crap from the Georgia fans the last

675
00:30:29,080 --> 00:30:31,760
Speaker 2: few years, which it was ridiculous, I mean really like

676
00:30:31,920 --> 00:30:36,880
Speaker 2: they need to be evaluated for abuse there. But regardless, Yeah,

677
00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:39,920
Speaker 2: I'm gonna I'm gonna root for Old Miss, and honestly,

678
00:30:40,080 --> 00:30:41,960
Speaker 2: I think Old Miss is gonna win the football game.

679
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:43,120
Speaker 3: I do interesting.

680
00:30:43,480 --> 00:30:45,640
Speaker 1: Uh, the last wildcard game, we didn't get to it yet,

681
00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:49,120
Speaker 1: it's your team. The Texans best defense in the NFL,

682
00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:51,280
Speaker 1: I think them are or are they the best defense

683
00:30:51,320 --> 00:30:51,800
Speaker 1: in the NFL?

684
00:30:51,880 --> 00:30:52,000
Speaker 2: Them?

685
00:30:52,080 --> 00:30:52,560
Speaker 3: Definitely?

686
00:30:52,880 --> 00:30:56,440
Speaker 2: Definitely, I'm taking the Texans right. The Texans best yards

687
00:30:56,480 --> 00:31:00,800
Speaker 2: per game defense, best yards per game defense, I mean

688
00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:02,960
Speaker 2: there are point two points away from being the best

689
00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:06,520
Speaker 2: points defense in football. They're they're the one, the best,

690
00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:09,680
Speaker 2: one of the best pass defenses in football. I mean yeah,

691
00:31:09,800 --> 00:31:12,120
Speaker 2: the Houston Texans for me, are are as good as

692
00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:12,520
Speaker 2: it gets.

693
00:31:13,240 --> 00:31:13,440
Speaker 3: Guys.

694
00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:15,080
Speaker 1: I don't think Simms is going to be surprised when

695
00:31:15,120 --> 00:31:17,120
Speaker 1: we get to San Francisco if Houston's there with us,

696
00:31:17,240 --> 00:31:18,400
Speaker 1: Like I don't, I just don't, right.

697
00:31:18,520 --> 00:31:19,200
Speaker 3: Is that fair? No?

698
00:31:19,480 --> 00:31:22,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it's totally fair. You know, this is

699
00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:25,000
Speaker 2: a game where you know, go on the road. We

700
00:31:25,120 --> 00:31:29,080
Speaker 2: know Pittsburgh likes playing ugly football, the Dink and Dunk Show.

701
00:31:29,240 --> 00:31:30,480
Speaker 2: I just kind of look at it as long as

702
00:31:30,560 --> 00:31:33,680
Speaker 2: the Texans don't play with fire with DK Metcalf being

703
00:31:33,720 --> 00:31:36,880
Speaker 2: on an island too much, I don't really find a

704
00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:38,880
Speaker 2: way where Pittsburgh's gonna be able to move the ball

705
00:31:38,920 --> 00:31:42,560
Speaker 2: consistently on Houston. Houston can do it all. And typically

706
00:31:43,440 --> 00:31:45,720
Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers in his later years, when he has to

707
00:31:45,800 --> 00:31:48,240
Speaker 2: play a pass rush like this, he is jumpy as hell.

708
00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:48,719
Speaker 3: Right.

709
00:31:49,160 --> 00:31:51,200
Speaker 2: It's one thing last week against the Ravens, who don't

710
00:31:51,200 --> 00:31:53,280
Speaker 2: have anybody you gotta worry about getting after the quarterback.

711
00:31:53,560 --> 00:31:55,640
Speaker 2: This is one where you're like, oh, there's three or

712
00:31:55,680 --> 00:31:58,640
Speaker 2: four guys on every play, and they can play man

713
00:31:58,760 --> 00:32:00,840
Speaker 2: and they can play awesome zone and man, they got

714
00:32:00,880 --> 00:32:03,440
Speaker 2: an extra day arrest and they're gonna be foaming at

715
00:32:03,480 --> 00:32:06,400
Speaker 2: the mouth. I definitely like the Houston Texans. I took

716
00:32:06,440 --> 00:32:08,800
Speaker 2: him to win twenty seven to ten. I do. As

717
00:32:08,880 --> 00:32:12,080
Speaker 2: long as CJ. Stroud doesn't take a TJ. Watts stripsack

718
00:32:12,200 --> 00:32:15,200
Speaker 2: or something of that nature there, I think they absolutely

719
00:32:15,240 --> 00:32:16,760
Speaker 2: dominate and control the football game.

720
00:32:17,240 --> 00:32:18,880
Speaker 1: I've been thinking about this. Since you said it, I

721
00:32:18,920 --> 00:32:22,520
Speaker 1: wrote it down, I circled it. Okay, McDaniel Flora's I

722
00:32:22,600 --> 00:32:25,880
Speaker 1: want Stephen Ross to have to absorb this watching McDaniel

723
00:32:25,960 --> 00:32:26,720
Speaker 1: and flora.

724
00:32:26,520 --> 00:32:28,560
Speaker 3: Is together with a Super Bowl with a Moore Jackson.

725
00:32:28,800 --> 00:32:32,080
Speaker 2: Well that I brought this up with Florio and that

726
00:32:32,560 --> 00:32:36,120
Speaker 2: this is you know, it's it's weird down in Miami,

727
00:32:36,240 --> 00:32:38,360
Speaker 2: and I think, you know, again, this is a little different.

728
00:32:38,400 --> 00:32:40,360
Speaker 2: But I think they were letting Chris Greer do whatever

729
00:32:40,480 --> 00:32:44,280
Speaker 2: he wanted there forever, right, But gosh, I mean, Floras

730
00:32:44,400 --> 00:32:46,240
Speaker 2: ended up going ten and six and ten and six,

731
00:32:46,320 --> 00:32:49,000
Speaker 2: and if it weren't for the legal battle he has

732
00:32:49,080 --> 00:32:51,280
Speaker 2: with the NFL, he'd be towards the top of every

733
00:32:51,320 --> 00:32:54,320
Speaker 2: list of the open candidates. That's certainly going to scare

734
00:32:54,440 --> 00:32:56,960
Speaker 2: some people away. And then you couple that with like

735
00:32:57,040 --> 00:32:59,440
Speaker 2: we were talking about Mike McDaniel being fired, and I

736
00:32:59,480 --> 00:33:01,920
Speaker 2: don't think deserves to be. Yeah, they definitely have a

737
00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:03,840
Speaker 2: chance to have some egg on their face here when

738
00:33:03,840 --> 00:33:05,640
Speaker 2: it's all said and done with these two type of guys.

739
00:33:05,880 --> 00:33:08,640
Speaker 1: All right, PFT every day with Florio on Peacock The

740
00:33:08,720 --> 00:33:11,040
Speaker 1: Unbuttoned Podcast is well Football Night in America.

741
00:33:11,040 --> 00:33:13,360
Speaker 3: A quick pregame show. Not a location can't help tell

742
00:33:13,360 --> 00:33:15,400
Speaker 3: her out, but we experienced.

743
00:33:15,440 --> 00:33:17,320
Speaker 2: Maybe next week I think next week we're looking to

744
00:33:17,400 --> 00:33:20,760
Speaker 2: go on location for divisional Round, all right, So if

745
00:33:20,800 --> 00:33:22,920
Speaker 2: you want to jump on that bandwagon, maybe I can

746
00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:23,240
Speaker 2: help you.

747
00:33:23,600 --> 00:33:25,480
Speaker 1: It's just dawned on me. His best friend is Mac

748
00:33:25,560 --> 00:33:27,680
Speaker 1: fucking Hollins. I mean, what are you asking Sims for?

749
00:33:27,920 --> 00:33:30,400
Speaker 4: I mean, well, that's how I got the tickets, Sarah,

750
00:33:30,520 --> 00:33:31,400
Speaker 4: That's how you got the tickets.

751
00:33:31,400 --> 00:33:33,440
Speaker 2: So you can only ask him for one favor, right,

752
00:33:33,520 --> 00:33:35,880
Speaker 2: It's just like, hey, I've asked him enough. How did

753
00:33:35,920 --> 00:33:37,800
Speaker 2: you know Mac Hollins? How did that happen?

754
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:39,120
Speaker 3: He played at Carolina with him?

755
00:33:39,160 --> 00:33:41,800
Speaker 4: We were roommates at Carolina where you walked on and

756
00:33:42,040 --> 00:33:43,800
Speaker 4: he just kept getting better and I just kind of

757
00:33:43,840 --> 00:33:44,400
Speaker 4: stayed the same.

758
00:33:44,560 --> 00:33:44,800
Speaker 3: Wow.

759
00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:47,400
Speaker 2: Do you wear shoes or do you go barefoot like

760
00:33:47,440 --> 00:33:51,160
Speaker 2: he does? So I'm I'm normal. You're normal?

761
00:33:51,520 --> 00:33:51,680
Speaker 3: Yes?

762
00:33:51,960 --> 00:33:55,400
Speaker 2: Yes, okay, Hey Mac Taylor thinks you're not normal. So

763
00:33:55,520 --> 00:33:55,720
Speaker 2: you know.

764
00:33:58,080 --> 00:33:59,920
Speaker 3: You didn't know Taylor was a walk on wide receiver

765
00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:00,600
Speaker 3: at Carolina.

766
00:34:00,920 --> 00:34:02,800
Speaker 2: You know, I don't think I did. I don't think

767
00:34:02,800 --> 00:34:04,760
Speaker 2: I knew that I knew when they say North Carolina,

768
00:34:04,760 --> 00:34:06,680
Speaker 2: I was like, oh, yeah, duh, he went to North Carolina.

769
00:34:06,720 --> 00:34:08,879
Speaker 2: I knew that, but I did not realize he walked

770
00:34:08,920 --> 00:34:10,799
Speaker 2: on in North Carolina. I did not, so he did.

771
00:34:10,960 --> 00:34:12,680
Speaker 3: Just breaking that Belichick gets hired. But one of these

772
00:34:12,760 --> 00:34:16,080
Speaker 3: NFL teams, I can see that, all right, So just
