1
00:00:01,400 --> 00:00:18,200
Speaker 1: The volume. What is going on? Everybody? How are we doing?

2
00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:21,119
Speaker 1: John Middlecoff, that'd be me three and out podcasts, that'd

3
00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:24,000
Speaker 1: be this little show. I just watched a little Monday

4
00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:29,400
Speaker 1: night football and the Cowboys got destroyed, and I think

5
00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:33,560
Speaker 1: it's we got a lot going on. Willie Nelson once said, Mama,

6
00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:36,680
Speaker 1: don't let your babies grow up to be Cowboys. And

7
00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:42,040
Speaker 1: if you're a young Cowboy fan, things look ugly because

8
00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:44,519
Speaker 1: your team is really bad and it looks like it's

9
00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:47,760
Speaker 1: gonna get a lot worse. Now for the Cowboys, the

10
00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:50,320
Speaker 1: Texans are seven and four. They had really high hopes

11
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:53,680
Speaker 1: on the season. They hit a little rough patch obviously

12
00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:58,240
Speaker 1: last week losing to the Lions with that big comeback

13
00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:01,040
Speaker 1: was pretty devastating, especially when you call five turnovers. But

14
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:04,040
Speaker 1: tonight you play a bad team with a backup quarterback

15
00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:08,039
Speaker 1: and you dominate. You're seven and four. Future looks bright.

16
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:11,920
Speaker 1: But we'll dive into that game, you know. I think

17
00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:14,240
Speaker 1: at this point it's hard to really break much down

18
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:18,080
Speaker 1: a Cowboys games in terms of what we saw, because

19
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:21,480
Speaker 1: what does it really matter beside injuries? Knowing that the

20
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:24,280
Speaker 1: coach is not going to be there next year, that

21
00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:26,640
Speaker 1: really is what the attention is going to turn to

22
00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:28,280
Speaker 1: who is going to be the next head coach of

23
00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:30,920
Speaker 1: the Cowboys. Where you look at the Texans, it's much

24
00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:32,640
Speaker 1: more like can they show up their offensive line by

25
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:37,280
Speaker 1: the playoffs? Can they get healthy by the playoffs? Defensively,

26
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:40,160
Speaker 1: are they good enough to win playoff games? Can that

27
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:42,520
Speaker 1: defense carry them to win playoff games? Can Demico out

28
00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:46,760
Speaker 1: scheme guys? So I think we're kind of looking at

29
00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:49,800
Speaker 1: two teams on the opposite end of the spectrum. Obviously

30
00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:52,160
Speaker 1: we do this every Monday in that little penhouse and outthouse,

31
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:55,000
Speaker 1: as well as some other stuff going on around the NFL.

32
00:01:56,680 --> 00:02:01,400
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones, Benched, who saw that come? I'd say everybody.

33
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:04,280

60
00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:27,280
Speaker 1: don't quite know where to start here. I guess we

61
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:29,800
Speaker 1: could give the Texans who are seven and four and

62
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:33,880
Speaker 1: in a weird way feel like they've underachieved this year,

63
00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:36,960
Speaker 1: or at least I think we were more bullish on

64
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:39,800
Speaker 1: them than they have shown. I thought Troy did a

65
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:45,160
Speaker 1: pretty good job of discussing Bobby Slowick that whenever you

66
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:49,920
Speaker 1: have offensive struggles, no one takes more heat on a

67
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:53,440
Speaker 1: team than the offensive coordinator, because even the defensive coordinator,

68
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:55,800
Speaker 1: and there is some truth to this, while he does

69
00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:58,280
Speaker 1: take a lot of heat, it's usually directly tied in

70
00:03:58,360 --> 00:03:59,800
Speaker 1: with the head coach a lot at the time, and

71
00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:02,680
Speaker 1: the players get a lot of the blame on defense.

72
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:09,240
Speaker 1: When you get bad play calling, bad schemes, bad protection,

73
00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:15,160
Speaker 1: the offensive coordinator gets absolutely destroyed. But you play the Cowboys,

74
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:18,320
Speaker 1: who are in complete chambles, you throw up thirty five points.

75
00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:20,440
Speaker 1: I guess the offense didn't throw up all thirty five

76
00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:23,120
Speaker 1: of those points because the one I guess it was

77
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:27,000
Speaker 1: multiple fumbles. Derek Barnett caused the fumble. Gut in the

78
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:31,480
Speaker 1: offensive lineman picked up the fumble. Petrie, who just destroys people,

79
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:35,560
Speaker 1: takes his ass out, and Barnett picks the ball back

80
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:39,400
Speaker 1: up and scores. That was if you just watch the

81
00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:41,560
Speaker 1: game that I that was easily the highlight. That was

82
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:43,720
Speaker 1: a cool moment. It feels like we always get one

83
00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:46,440
Speaker 1: of those type plays on Monday Night football. But like

84
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:48,520
Speaker 1: we'll dive into the Texans here in a second. When

85
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:52,599
Speaker 1: it comes to the Cowboys, here's the shitty part is

86
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:56,880
Speaker 1: their games don't matter, like it just nothing that happens

87
00:04:56,880 --> 00:05:01,560
Speaker 1: in their game matters. At this point obviously ended before

88
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:05,160
Speaker 1: Dak even went on injury reserve and out for the season,

89
00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:08,720
Speaker 1: it was clear they were screwed. And then the moment

90
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:13,640
Speaker 1: they're screwed, it inevitably goes to whether coach has done

91
00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:16,880
Speaker 1: like they are going to need a new coach who

92
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:22,400
Speaker 1: obviously is going to fire this entire staff, old curmudgeon

93
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:26,160
Speaker 1: Mike Zimmer. Their defense, which is not played well this season,

94
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:29,080
Speaker 1: is not going to be back as well. So like

95
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:32,800
Speaker 1: judging them on a play to play basis or a

96
00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:36,159
Speaker 1: game to game basis now and trying to break down

97
00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:41,000
Speaker 1: stuff like you could argue, what's the point at least

98
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:44,919
Speaker 1: with Tommy DeVito and Brian Daball. If we take John

99
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:48,200
Speaker 1: Mora at his word, it's like, well, you keep judging

100
00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:51,120
Speaker 1: Brian Daball as a play caller, what does Tommy DeVito

101
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:54,040
Speaker 1: look like when he inserts them? Does their offense look better?

102
00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:57,000
Speaker 1: Because more than likely, unless he's lying to people, he's

103
00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:01,040
Speaker 1: going to be your coach next year, where Mike mccarr like,

104
00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:03,680
Speaker 1: I think it's pretty clear Jerry's not gonna fire him

105
00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:07,200
Speaker 1: in season. I think he's also earned the right the

106
00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:10,560
Speaker 1: last three years to at least play this season out.

107
00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:15,520
Speaker 1: I also think, and I mentioned this earlier, I woke

108
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:16,880
Speaker 1: up this morning like a lot of people, and I

109
00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:19,440
Speaker 1: was like, I bet Doug Peterson comes across the wire

110
00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:22,679
Speaker 1: as being relieved of his duties. And then it didn't happen,

111
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:24,839
Speaker 1: and then I saw I gave a press conference, and

112
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:26,760
Speaker 1: you know what, there's a decent chance they just have

113
00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:30,440
Speaker 1: Doug coach out the string. Because I wonder if Shad

114
00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:33,280
Speaker 1: Khan's looking at his staff and going, well, if I

115
00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:37,479
Speaker 1: fired Doug, my team is awful, my quarterbacks probably out

116
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:39,600
Speaker 1: for the year. Who knows when we see that guy again.

117
00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:43,120
Speaker 1: I don't think any of these guys are worth giving

118
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:48,320
Speaker 1: an interim bump. The reason the Saints fired Dennis Allen

119
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:53,360
Speaker 1: and made Darren Rizzy their interim head coach. I think

120
00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:55,640
Speaker 1: inside in that building there are people that are like,

121
00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:58,800
Speaker 1: let's give a guy trial run. Maybe this guy could

122
00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:01,599
Speaker 1: be our next head coach. I mentioned it is a

123
00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:04,520
Speaker 1: stucky last week. He looks like Ken Shamrock from the

124
00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:09,480
Speaker 1: UFC and clearly means I would say invigorated the squad

125
00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:11,840
Speaker 1: a little bit. They clearly look like they got a

126
00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:15,040
Speaker 1: little more juice. Maybe it's just health permitting. The reason

127
00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:19,040
Speaker 1: they fired Robert Sawah won. Woody Johnson clearly didn't like him,

128
00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:22,840
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers clearly didn't like him. But most importantly, there

129
00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:25,200
Speaker 1: were people in that building that thought Jeff Ulbrick might

130
00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:29,200
Speaker 1: be the next head coach. And so like Mike McCarthy

131
00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:32,400
Speaker 1: and listen, it's not like Jerry has pushed back against this.

132
00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:35,320
Speaker 1: He said over and over, like no mid season changes.

133
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:38,880
Speaker 1: One part of making a mid season change is like

134
00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:41,880
Speaker 1: give a guy a trial run. It's like a guy

135
00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:45,200
Speaker 1: that you want to see get some free reps. It's basically,

136
00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:47,960
Speaker 1: with like four games left in an NFL season, benching

137
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:50,640
Speaker 1: a guy and giving a six round pick the starting

138
00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:53,960
Speaker 1: job when your team's out of it, Why let's see

139
00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:57,360
Speaker 1: if we got something here. And the Cowboys definitely don't

140
00:07:57,360 --> 00:07:59,880
Speaker 1: have something there when it comes to their coaching staff

141
00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:03,000
Speaker 1: and when Cooper rushes run around and now by the

142
00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:06,440
Speaker 1: end of the game you have multiple offensive lineman limping off,

143
00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:09,320
Speaker 1: you're just completely fucked. I mean, there really is no

144
00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:12,880
Speaker 1: way around it. You honestly thought, like with the Texans,

145
00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:15,920
Speaker 1: it's like, let's just try to get out of here.

146
00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:18,600
Speaker 1: No one get injured towards the last like five six minutes,

147
00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:21,160
Speaker 1: and the Texans are trying to like get their mojo

148
00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:23,160
Speaker 1: because they've been so bad on offense. So that's why

149
00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:26,160
Speaker 1: their last touchdown was important for them to get. But

150
00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:29,800
Speaker 1: when you play a team that is playing their backup quarterback,

151
00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:32,160
Speaker 1: which has a bunch of injuries and it's just headed

152
00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:37,520
Speaker 1: toward three or four wins, it has preseason vibes. And

153
00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:40,120
Speaker 1: do you know that we get Cowboys Giants on Thanksgiving?

154
00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:43,280
Speaker 1: I mean, so buckle up. It's not like the Cowboys

155
00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:46,920
Speaker 1: are going away talk about a fall from grace. I

156
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:49,080
Speaker 1: mean the last three years winning twelve games, and now

157
00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:52,600
Speaker 1: that is the product. I think if you're a Cowboy fan,

158
00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:56,640
Speaker 1: the only thing you can hope for, because these are

159
00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:58,960
Speaker 1: going to be two of the most important players on

160
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:03,520
Speaker 1: the squad going into twenty twenty five and beyond, is

161
00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:06,000
Speaker 1: that Micah Parsons and Ceedee Lamb do not get injured

162
00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:08,560
Speaker 1: over the next month and a half. That is the

163
00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:11,720
Speaker 1: only thing that matters. And you know, for the first

164
00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:15,040
Speaker 1: time this season. I spent the first half watching Eli

165
00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:17,679
Speaker 1: and Peyton. You know why, because I was like, this

166
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:20,240
Speaker 1: game's not doing it for me. And for the most part,

167
00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:22,360
Speaker 1: I'm pretty into these Monday night games, and I like

168
00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:25,760
Speaker 1: just watching the regular broadcast Troy and Joe, it feels

169
00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:29,079
Speaker 1: really big. And tonight I was like, this game sucks,

170
00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:32,360
Speaker 1: And so I watched Peyton and Eli with Belichick and

171
00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:36,200
Speaker 1: it was pretty entertaining, and even Bill was like, Yeah,

172
00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:39,400
Speaker 1: their defense and run game sucks. If you have a

173
00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:42,360
Speaker 1: bad defense and you have no run game, you're basically

174
00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:45,200
Speaker 1: saying your team is really really soft. Because you watch

175
00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:47,360
Speaker 1: the Texans and what do they do well? Well, they

176
00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:49,880
Speaker 1: have a really good pass defense, they have a good

177
00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:53,360
Speaker 1: scoring defense, and when Mixon is healthy, they have a

178
00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:56,400
Speaker 1: really really good run offense. Why because he's one of

179
00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:58,600
Speaker 1: the better running backs in the league's top ten running back.

180
00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:02,240
Speaker 1: He's a really really good player. So when you watch

181
00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:05,520
Speaker 1: the Texans, like one thing that you know, I think

182
00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:07,480
Speaker 1: has been driving people nuts is like, stop throwing the

183
00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:10,680
Speaker 1: ball so much. When Mixing is healthy, run the football,

184
00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:13,600
Speaker 1: run the ball, and play defense. You have an excellent

185
00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:17,479
Speaker 1: defensive head coach. You have I would say great personnel.

186
00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:21,920
Speaker 1: When fully healthy, you have really good defensive personnel. They

187
00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:25,080
Speaker 1: were missing, you know their second round corner from Georgia Latimer,

188
00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:29,599
Speaker 1: who's uh or last, last, last sister. I'm already. I

189
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:31,440
Speaker 1: don't want to script the name right now, but you

190
00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:33,959
Speaker 1: know what name I'm looking for here the kid from

191
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:37,160
Speaker 1: Georgia to go along with Stingley, who's a really really

192
00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:40,680
Speaker 1: good player. You got Petrie, you know when Will Anderson's healthy.

193
00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:43,720
Speaker 1: Like their defensive line. You saw Derek Barnette tonight make

194
00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:46,760
Speaker 1: a big play like they got some dudes. And statistically

195
00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:49,760
Speaker 1: they've been pretty good on defense. They have a good

196
00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:53,800
Speaker 1: pass defense, which is important in this modern day NFL.

197
00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:55,280
Speaker 1: You're playing a lot of teams that want to throw

198
00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:58,040
Speaker 1: the ball. There's a pretty good chance that the Texans

199
00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:01,720
Speaker 1: are the four seat. You could be playing Lamar Justin

200
00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:05,040
Speaker 1: Herbert round one, and with that past defense, it would

201
00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:07,920
Speaker 1: give you a shot. Now, I think part of the

202
00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:10,520
Speaker 1: reason and Aikman I did watch the second half with

203
00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:12,800
Speaker 1: Troy and Joe because I came into my office and

204
00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:16,520
Speaker 1: I just YouTube TV and just watched it on my monitor.

205
00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:18,640
Speaker 1: I didn't even watch the game on TV. I just

206
00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:21,160
Speaker 1: watched the second half of the game, sitting at my desk,

207
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:24,360
Speaker 1: which I never do. Just on my external monitor, it's

208
00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:26,840
Speaker 1: probably twenty five inches. I was like, yeah, I just

209
00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:35,280
Speaker 1: not even that into this. But the offensive coordinator like

210
00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:37,920
Speaker 1: part of his job is to make it easier on

211
00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:40,080
Speaker 1: the quarterback. And I think one reason people have been

212
00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:43,640
Speaker 1: critical on Slowick is when your offensive line is really

213
00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:47,440
Speaker 1: struggling to block and you keep calling these pass plays

214
00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:50,600
Speaker 1: and you have guys that have no shot to pass block,

215
00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:53,439
Speaker 1: You're gonna get this guy killed and then it starts unraveling.

216
00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:56,920
Speaker 1: And I've thought early, like, let's face it, he hasn't

217
00:11:57,040 --> 00:11:59,600
Speaker 1: looked as good this year as he did last year

218
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:03,360
Speaker 1: as a quarterback. Now he's missed Nico Collins for a

219
00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:07,680
Speaker 1: large percentage of the season. He comes back. I was

220
00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:09,839
Speaker 1: like two minutes late to even turning on the game,

221
00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:13,800
Speaker 1: and I missed the play where he took it sixty

222
00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:16,840
Speaker 1: five yards. I had to watch it on Twitter, like

223
00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:19,560
Speaker 1: pretty important to have that guy. Now it got called

224
00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:22,200
Speaker 1: back because there was a legal man downfield, and the

225
00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:25,040
Speaker 1: Texans ended up scoring on that drive. Anyway, they basically

226
00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:28,040
Speaker 1: scored two touchdowns on their first drive. I mean there

227
00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:30,120
Speaker 1: was a moment about ten minutes into this game where

228
00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:33,600
Speaker 1: you're like, the Cowboy's gonna lose like forty to nothing,

229
00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:37,079
Speaker 1: And they didn't quite lose like that, but it was.

230
00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:41,839
Speaker 1: It was pretty ugly, and I just think, like the Texans,

231
00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:44,440
Speaker 1: I think there was a lot of hype. I believed it.

232
00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:46,400
Speaker 1: I thought this team was going to compete for the

233
00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:49,079
Speaker 1: number one overall seed. That clearly is not gonna happen.

234
00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:52,560
Speaker 1: But if you can get healthy and you can play defense,

235
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:55,680
Speaker 1: and you can run the ball, you have a chance

236
00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:58,320
Speaker 1: to win a playoff game. And I think if you

237
00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:00,600
Speaker 1: go back to back years winning a playof that would

238
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:04,360
Speaker 1: be a really successful season. And the problem is, like

239
00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:07,920
Speaker 1: if you were to win that first round playoff game,

240
00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:10,880
Speaker 1: you would get way more credit this year than you

241
00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:13,400
Speaker 1: did last year because you beat Joe Flacco. If you

242
00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:15,600
Speaker 1: were to beat Herbert or Lamar, that would be a

243
00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:18,520
Speaker 1: fantastic win. And then you would have to go on

244
00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:22,400
Speaker 1: the road, probably to obviously Buffalo or Kansas City. Take

245
00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:26,600
Speaker 1: your chances. But I just think that I'm not writing

246
00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:28,840
Speaker 1: this team off. You just watch them, and it feels

247
00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:31,559
Speaker 1: like I was. Maybe the hype was too strong. You

248
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:34,760
Speaker 1: were just expecting a little more. But they do have

249
00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:39,440
Speaker 1: you know, just some elements of a team that is

250
00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:43,080
Speaker 1: tough to play when you have multiple good corners and

251
00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:47,200
Speaker 1: a good defensive coach. I don't write you off. And

252
00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:48,720
Speaker 1: I think a lot of people have kind of written

253
00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:50,400
Speaker 1: this team off, and part of it is the division

254
00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:53,800
Speaker 1: they play in, which essentially feels over now. I would

255
00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:56,680
Speaker 1: say the Jets, excuse me, not the Jets. The Colts

256
00:13:57,679 --> 00:14:01,280
Speaker 1: got a little life Anthony Richardson, I think most people

257
00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:03,400
Speaker 1: were saying, and I would tend to agree. I mean,

258
00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:05,240
Speaker 1: the bar's pretty low, and he hasn't played that many

259
00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:07,160
Speaker 1: He's like he played the best game of his career.

260
00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:09,640
Speaker 1: It's like, yeah, he's played like seven of them. But

261
00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:12,839
Speaker 1: it was a big moment, especially in the second half.

262
00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:15,200
Speaker 1: But like the Texas have already played that team twice.

263
00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:18,640
Speaker 1: We beat him, so it's I don't want to say

264
00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:20,840
Speaker 1: the division's a rap, because you never know if you

265
00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:24,480
Speaker 1: have a major injury, especially a quarterback, but it feels

266
00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:27,120
Speaker 1: I'm pretty confident that the Texans are gonna win this

267
00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:30,240
Speaker 1: bad Boy, And obviously the Cowboys are headed for their

268
00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:34,800
Speaker 1: worst season in a long long time, and it's tough.

269
00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:38,840
Speaker 1: You know, Jerry's up there squirreling around his press box.

270
00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:41,680
Speaker 1: Who knows what the hell he's saying, you know, after

271
00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:44,800
Speaker 1: this game, as I'm speaking, he's probably saying something crazy.

272
00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:47,200
Speaker 1: But what can you even say at this point, Like,

273
00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:51,520
Speaker 1: did anyone think the Cowboys were gonna win this game? Honestly?

274
00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:54,280
Speaker 1: Did anyone think the Cowboys were gonna be competitive in

275
00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:56,960
Speaker 1: this game? And this is the thing. If they play

276
00:14:56,960 --> 00:15:00,360
Speaker 1: a decent team, if they play a playoff team, which

277
00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:03,160
Speaker 1: now we have seen them play two weeks in a row,

278
00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:08,680
Speaker 1: they get throttled. And they were much better tonight than

279
00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:11,280
Speaker 1: they were against the Eagles, and you look up and

280
00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:15,440
Speaker 1: they're still down three or four scores. So I just

281
00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:21,560
Speaker 1: the Cowboys stink. And Cooper Rush, I know, statistically threw

282
00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:25,240
Speaker 1: for over three hundred yards, but man, you're not running

283
00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:30,480
Speaker 1: around for his life. There was a play they went

284
00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:33,640
Speaker 1: for it. It was twenty to ten and it was

285
00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:36,200
Speaker 1: fourth and two and they could have kicked the field

286
00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:39,320
Speaker 1: goal to make it twenty to thirteen, and Mike decides

287
00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:43,360
Speaker 1: to go for it and he runs what looked like

288
00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:47,360
Speaker 1: a clear out play with Ceedee Lamb and I think

289
00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:50,320
Speaker 1: one of their other wide receivers. And even Aikman was like,

290
00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:53,960
Speaker 1: what are these two wide receivers doing I think it

291
00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:57,040
Speaker 1: was basically just again I'm totally assuming here, but just

292
00:15:57,160 --> 00:16:00,960
Speaker 1: watching the way the play worked out. He ran those

293
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:03,520
Speaker 1: guys just to the back pylon do clear out the

294
00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:07,480
Speaker 1: area so he could try to get Mingo the dude

295
00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:13,040
Speaker 1: they just traded for a touchdown, and you just wonder, like,

296
00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:16,800
Speaker 1: is he doing that to make Jerry happy? Did Jerry

297
00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:19,000
Speaker 1: tell him to do that. It was kind of a

298
00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:24,120
Speaker 1: weird moment because Aikman was perplexed by the route CD

299
00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:26,440
Speaker 1: and the wide receiver was running. They basically ran into

300
00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:29,280
Speaker 1: each other, you know, in the corner of the end zone.

301
00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:32,240
Speaker 1: But I do wonder if it was just a one

302
00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:35,360
Speaker 1: route option and it had something to do with Jerry.

303
00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:38,280
Speaker 1: And that's back to this overall thing. Like listen to

304
00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:42,280
Speaker 1: Texans right now, Win or Lose feel like a buttoned

305
00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:46,720
Speaker 1: up operation right Their general manager Nick Cassario working hand

306
00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:49,440
Speaker 1: in hand with Demiko down to CJ, A lot of

307
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:52,640
Speaker 1: their young core like, you just feel good about the direction.

308
00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:55,960
Speaker 1: It's the complete opposite of the shit show going on

309
00:16:56,040 --> 00:16:58,640
Speaker 1: in Dallas. I mean, those are two teams. I mean

310
00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:02,120
Speaker 1: one is the dominant team the region, the Cowboys against

311
00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:04,400
Speaker 1: kind of the little step brother in the Houston Texans,

312
00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:07,320
Speaker 1: who just feel like they got their shit together and

313
00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:10,080
Speaker 1: are gonna be in the playoffs most years moving forward.

314
00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:12,719
Speaker 1: Now are they true super Bowl contenders? Obviously they got

315
00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:16,240
Speaker 1: a little ways to go. Maybe they're draft away. But

316
00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:20,920
Speaker 1: that's a real operation that just feels kind of quiet too,

317
00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:24,800
Speaker 1: And maybe that starts from Casario's New England roots. You

318
00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:28,000
Speaker 1: know Demiko for being a former player and a pretty

319
00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:32,240
Speaker 1: highly touted famous guy, he's pretty low key, like he's

320
00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:35,679
Speaker 1: not mister you know, talk a bunch of shit and

321
00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:39,520
Speaker 1: make it about himself, but he's actually very old school

322
00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:42,000
Speaker 1: like to me, when I think Demiko Ryans, I just

323
00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:45,000
Speaker 1: think like kind of quiet all about his actions and

324
00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:47,720
Speaker 1: high class guy. And when you think the Cowboys is

325
00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:50,280
Speaker 1: a lot of sizzle, it's a lot of Jerry talking

326
00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:54,160
Speaker 1: and now the product is just horrendous. So I mean,

327
00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:57,679
Speaker 1: all eyes point to in January, who is Jerry Jones,

328
00:17:57,680 --> 00:18:01,840
Speaker 1: Stephen Jones and the Cowboys brass interview? And like I said,

329
00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:06,240
Speaker 1: I think these coaching firings mid season. You know a

330
00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:08,560
Speaker 1: lot of people thought Eberflu should have been fired last

331
00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:13,160
Speaker 1: week after they lost the Patriots. Well, you know, it's

332
00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:15,840
Speaker 1: it's pretty well established that the Bears are really cheap,

333
00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:19,159
Speaker 1: and when you make a guy an interim coach, you

334
00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:22,600
Speaker 1: do have to give him a pay raise. But if

335
00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:25,400
Speaker 1: you don't view your team as a playoff team, what's

336
00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:28,160
Speaker 1: the point of firing the guy that you're gonna fire

337
00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:30,840
Speaker 1: in a couple months. Anyway, To make a guy that

338
00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:34,199
Speaker 1: you don't believe is a head coach candidate give him

339
00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:36,560
Speaker 1: the opportunity to be a head coach, you might as

340
00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:39,359
Speaker 1: well just ride it out. So I think at this

341
00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:43,040
Speaker 1: point now it's fair to assume maybe I'm wrong, maybe

342
00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:46,000
Speaker 1: he's fired tomorrow, maybe he's fired Wednesday, But the Jags

343
00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:49,160
Speaker 1: might just ride this thing out. The Bears clearly are

344
00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:53,480
Speaker 1: just riding out. Eberflus, who just constantly says, like, got

345
00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:56,240
Speaker 1: a look at the tape, Tough times don't last, tough

346
00:18:56,280 --> 00:18:58,600
Speaker 1: people do. It's like, no, you guys, just you just suck.

347
00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:01,280
Speaker 1: You're just not a good head. And honestly, there's nothing

348
00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:03,399
Speaker 1: wrong with that. Like, there have been a lot of

349
00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:07,439
Speaker 1: people like Matt Eberflus who are coaches who should be

350
00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:11,720
Speaker 1: in the NFL coaching a position or a unit, not

351
00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:15,159
Speaker 1: the actual head coach, and they get in these positions

352
00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:17,359
Speaker 1: and they're just completely over their head and it just

353
00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:21,120
Speaker 1: gets uglier and uglier and uglier. I don't know if

354
00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:25,400
Speaker 1: obviously Doug had a moment that ebra Flus could never

355
00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:28,240
Speaker 1: dream about having led a team to a Super Bowl,

356
00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:32,000
Speaker 1: took out Bill Belichick with his backup quarterback, but you know,

357
00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:37,000
Speaker 1: the pixie dust or whatever he had to do, just

358
00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:40,760
Speaker 1: all the mojo's gone because you watch that Jags team.

359
00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:42,440
Speaker 1: Who will get to in a minute in the outhouse

360
00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:46,320
Speaker 1: she I mean you talk about quit, I use that

361
00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:49,760
Speaker 1: term lightly. You know, in other sports it's easier to

362
00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:52,240
Speaker 1: quit and kind of slide through. In football, it's very,

363
00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:57,560
Speaker 1: very difficult to just quit because you just it's the

364
00:19:57,600 --> 00:20:01,479
Speaker 1: game's so physical. Every play there's tackling and blocking, like

365
00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:04,520
Speaker 1: you kind of gotta try just to function if you're

366
00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:08,399
Speaker 1: on the field. But they definitely feel pretty lifeless. And

367
00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:11,560
Speaker 1: I get there playing the Lions. But if you're not

368
00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:14,240
Speaker 1: gonna get fired after that performance, I mean, you're probably

369
00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:16,600
Speaker 1: just riding it out. I think it's pretty clear. Like

370
00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:19,920
Speaker 1: same thing with the Mike. Let's go to the penthouse

371
00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:24,520
Speaker 1: in the outhouse for this week. You know, I've said

372
00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:28,080
Speaker 1: forever the Chiefs are not going anywhere I don't care

373
00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:31,040
Speaker 1: how random their season has been. Obviously, pulling out some

374
00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:33,080
Speaker 1: of these one score games out of there, you know what,

375
00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:37,119
Speaker 1: that's impressive though, Like part of having a good season

376
00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:41,400
Speaker 1: is winning some crazy games. Now, statistically, is it possible

377
00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:43,800
Speaker 1: to do that week after week after week after week

378
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:47,280
Speaker 1: obviously essentially or eventually it's gonna bite you in the ass.

379
00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:50,560
Speaker 1: Now that turns out. It wasn't a one score game,

380
00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:52,960
Speaker 1: but it was twenty three to twenty one in the

381
00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:55,639
Speaker 1: fourth quarter, and it had the feel of like s

382
00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:58,480
Speaker 1: kansasity written all over it. Kelsey's got a couple catches,

383
00:20:58,520 --> 00:20:59,879
Speaker 1: You're like, they don't even look that great, and all

384
00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:02,560
Speaker 1: of a sudden they end up winning like twenty four

385
00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:06,840
Speaker 1: to twenty three, and then Josh Allen happens and he

386
00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:10,040
Speaker 1: currently is the betting favorite for the MVP. We still

387
00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:14,359
Speaker 1: got a ways to go, but I think, you know,

388
00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:20,200
Speaker 1: narratives and momentum matter, and I you know, if Lamar

389
00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:24,240
Speaker 1: only had one MVP like last year, had just gone

390
00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:27,159
Speaker 1: to someone else, I do think he'd have a better

391
00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:30,240
Speaker 1: opportunity to win it this year because statistically he's having

392
00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:33,400
Speaker 1: a way better season, even despite having the shitty game

393
00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:36,679
Speaker 1: against the Steelers, But like it's really hard to just

394
00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:39,600
Speaker 1: keep rattling off MVPs. We see in basketball all the

395
00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:43,200
Speaker 1: time people want to vote for someone else, and let's

396
00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:46,439
Speaker 1: face it, like Josh has been an MVP level player

397
00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:50,119
Speaker 1: for a long time. And now the Bills, the team

398
00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:52,800
Speaker 1: is rolling, and hell, they're not even totally healthy yet.

399
00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:58,040
Speaker 1: So I think you could argue right now that you know,

400
00:21:58,040 --> 00:22:00,199
Speaker 1: we just saw the Bill. Now I understand it in

401
00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:02,560
Speaker 1: Buffalo and we'll see how the home field plays out,

402
00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:05,040
Speaker 1: because the Chiefs went on the road last year into

403
00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:08,800
Speaker 1: Buffalo and won a playoff game, which obviously propelled them

404
00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:11,600
Speaker 1: the next two weeks to be Super Bowl champs. But

405
00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:13,959
Speaker 1: I think if you had to say right now, who

406
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:16,280
Speaker 1: are the best two teams in football, you would say

407
00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:21,240
Speaker 1: the Bills and the Lions. That doesn't take anything away

408
00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:24,720
Speaker 1: like the Chiefs are in the penthouse. They should be

409
00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:27,480
Speaker 1: in every one's top two or three on power rankings

410
00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:30,560
Speaker 1: and not leave all season unless they lose like five

411
00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:34,760
Speaker 1: straight games, which they play the Panthers this week. News flash,

412
00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:37,840
Speaker 1: they're gonna win. But those are the only two teams

413
00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:41,280
Speaker 1: I'm putting in the AFC. Obviously, the Ravens, who I

414
00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:45,240
Speaker 1: thought were better than the Steelers clearly are not because

415
00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:47,560
Speaker 1: they just lost to a team that did not score

416
00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:51,960
Speaker 1: a touchdown and now have four losses. Like the Ravens

417
00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:55,000
Speaker 1: have had moments throughout this season where you're like, is

418
00:22:55,040 --> 00:22:58,359
Speaker 1: this the greatest offense I've ever seen? And we're not

419
00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:01,159
Speaker 1: even a Thanksgiving? They have four losses and you're like,

420
00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:05,560
Speaker 1: what's the deal? They just lost to a team that

421
00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:09,760
Speaker 1: did not score a touchdown. It's why I have a

422
00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:12,520
Speaker 1: hard time and listen, I respect the shit out of Pittsburgh,

423
00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:16,159
Speaker 1: I really do. It's impossible to not just tip your

424
00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:19,200
Speaker 1: hat to Mike Tomlin one of his greatest coaching seasons

425
00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:23,720
Speaker 1: of his career. That move to justin fields to Russell

426
00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:27,479
Speaker 1: Wilson is an all timer. I would say most people

427
00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:30,240
Speaker 1: would not have done that. I'm sorry, they just would

428
00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:33,800
Speaker 1: not have. And it's worked, even though in the game

429
00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:36,679
Speaker 1: against the Ravens he didn't play that well because this

430
00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:39,520
Speaker 1: was a team that literally everyone was throwing touchdowns on.

431
00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:43,639
Speaker 1: Now I get it, bit of rivalry. I don't expect

432
00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:46,119
Speaker 1: you to just throw three or four touchdowns. But you know,

433
00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:48,320
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow threw two games as nine touchdowns against him,

434
00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:51,440
Speaker 1: but no one thinks Russell Wilson's Joe Burrow. But still

435
00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:54,600
Speaker 1: you can't throw one and the one really good opportunity

436
00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:56,880
Speaker 1: you have, you just throw it to the other team

437
00:23:57,280 --> 00:23:59,800
Speaker 1: when you're like ten feet away from the goal line.

438
00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:04,280
Speaker 1: Really weird play. Could this team win a couple of

439
00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:08,320
Speaker 1: playoff games? I don't know. I have a hard time.

440
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:11,480
Speaker 1: You know, let's just say they're the three seed. Let's

441
00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:13,840
Speaker 1: say it's Chiefs, Bills or Bill's Chiefs and then they're

442
00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:18,000
Speaker 1: the three seed. Are they beating the Ravens and then

443
00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:20,000
Speaker 1: beating the Bills or the Chiefs to be in the

444
00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:24,000
Speaker 1: AFC Championship game? I don't know, But if they win

445
00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:27,399
Speaker 1: a playoff game, it'd be the first time Tomlin and

446
00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:31,439
Speaker 1: the organization has done that since twenty sixteen. So a

447
00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:34,040
Speaker 1: lot of respect. It's been fun to watch that game

448
00:24:34,119 --> 00:24:36,560
Speaker 1: was awesome, Like I really enjoyed it. I was telling

449
00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:40,840
Speaker 1: Colin on Sunday, not afternoon, I guess Sunday night, Sunday

450
00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:45,440
Speaker 1: or early evening that it's refreshing to watch these two teams.

451
00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:48,760
Speaker 1: How much true hatred there was. Like every other play,

452
00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:50,159
Speaker 1: it felt like there was about to be a brawl,

453
00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:52,479
Speaker 1: Like at any moment you thought like someone could get

454
00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:54,960
Speaker 1: tossed out of this game. And in a day and

455
00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:57,520
Speaker 1: age when everyone's friends, everyone goes on each other's podcast,

456
00:24:57,600 --> 00:25:01,560
Speaker 1: and everyone's buddy buddy on social media, I it's like

457
00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:03,919
Speaker 1: you just you play for one of these two teams,

458
00:25:04,359 --> 00:25:07,800
Speaker 1: you have to hate that other fucking team, and it's

459
00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:10,280
Speaker 1: reflected the way they play, and it's a fun game

460
00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:13,040
Speaker 1: to watch. It's it's very, very enjoyable, even when it's

461
00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:15,119
Speaker 1: kind of ugly like it was the other day. Like

462
00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:17,960
Speaker 1: I like that type football. I've always defended that type football.

463
00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:20,960
Speaker 1: I don't need a lot of touchdowns all the time

464
00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:24,280
Speaker 1: to be entertained. I have no problem watching a game

465
00:25:24,320 --> 00:25:27,000
Speaker 1: in the teams if I feel like on any given

466
00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:31,439
Speaker 1: play people are going to get decleted, people are trying to,

467
00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:34,840
Speaker 1: you know, injure the other team, not like seriously, but

468
00:25:34,960 --> 00:25:39,880
Speaker 1: like inflict pain. And for my I would say last

469
00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:44,400
Speaker 1: fifteen plus years of watching this game since getting into football,

470
00:25:45,119 --> 00:25:48,159
Speaker 1: it's always feels like that, regardless of what the rules.

471
00:25:48,160 --> 00:25:50,960
Speaker 1: So I can't put either of these teams on the

472
00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:54,040
Speaker 1: Chiefs or the Bills level, which is weird because the

473
00:25:54,119 --> 00:25:58,480
Speaker 1: Ravens beat the Bills honestly pretty easily. But like, right now,

474
00:25:58,560 --> 00:26:01,320
Speaker 1: I can't take the Ravens a series when they got

475
00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:03,879
Speaker 1: defensive issues and they just lose to a team that

476
00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:09,040
Speaker 1: doesn't score a touchdown. So listen, the AFC. Those are

477
00:26:09,119 --> 00:26:11,920
Speaker 1: four best teams with with Herbert as well and the Chargers,

478
00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:16,240
Speaker 1: it's gonna be tough someone. There's gonna be something weird

479
00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:18,960
Speaker 1: that happens in the playoffs this year. I'll promise you that.

480
00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:23,520
Speaker 1: I think the outhouse pretty interesting because you know, the

481
00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:26,320
Speaker 1: Giants and the Panthers get a little reprieve, just a

482
00:26:26,359 --> 00:26:28,040
Speaker 1: little out of side, out of mind. Didn't even play

483
00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:31,320
Speaker 1: this week, so it's just like, I don't even there's

484
00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:34,320
Speaker 1: nothing even say, right even the Giants are like, yeah,

485
00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:38,080
Speaker 1: we're just we're gonna throw a little curveball here. Daniel Jones,

486
00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:41,640
Speaker 1: you're now the third string quarterback. Drew Locke, we gave

487
00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:45,000
Speaker 1: you five million, but you're gonna continue to be the backup.

488
00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:50,520
Speaker 1: And Tommy Cutlet's you're in, buddy. So it's like we'll see,

489
00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:52,879
Speaker 1: let's just let's evaluate. You know, this could be a

490
00:26:52,920 --> 00:26:56,639
Speaker 1: long week for the Panthers because I thought this was

491
00:26:56,680 --> 00:26:59,280
Speaker 1: a prime if the Chiefs were to beat the Bills,

492
00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:02,479
Speaker 1: I could see the Chiefs losing this game, because in

493
00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:05,240
Speaker 1: what world would they be able to focus? But you

494
00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:08,920
Speaker 1: lose that game. Tough spot to be a Carolina Panther. Now,

495
00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:11,040
Speaker 1: I don't think the Chiefs have like fifty points in them,

496
00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:16,320
Speaker 1: but I could see it being like twenty eight to six,

497
00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:20,360
Speaker 1: like just where the Panthers struggle to get the ball

498
00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:22,879
Speaker 1: past the fifty yard line. I do think when we

499
00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:27,520
Speaker 1: look at the AFC, though it's pretty ugly, it really is.

500
00:27:27,640 --> 00:27:31,800
Speaker 1: I mean, the Jets they've won one of their last

501
00:27:31,840 --> 00:27:36,520
Speaker 1: seven games. They just lose a lot. Sometimes they get

502
00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:41,080
Speaker 1: their ass kicked. Sometimes they lose in heartbreaking fashion. Sometimes

503
00:27:41,119 --> 00:27:43,320
Speaker 1: they lose to a guy they just got benched because

504
00:27:43,359 --> 00:27:47,520
Speaker 1: he tapped out of a game. And sometimes, like Rogers

505
00:27:47,560 --> 00:27:51,399
Speaker 1: looks decent and the defense is awful. Sometimes the defense

506
00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:54,920
Speaker 1: is okay and the offense is awful. Sometimes they're both terrible.

507
00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:58,159
Speaker 1: But one thing we know for a fact, this Jets

508
00:27:58,200 --> 00:28:04,320
Speaker 1: team stinks. I mean it's really really bad, and it's

509
00:28:04,320 --> 00:28:07,080
Speaker 1: so bad you just wonder, like, who's going to be

510
00:28:07,119 --> 00:28:11,960
Speaker 1: interested in this job? And it's the NFL. The franchise

511
00:28:11,960 --> 00:28:15,960
Speaker 1: has a lot of money. But you know, if Rogers

512
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:20,119
Speaker 1: doesn't retire, they're kind of stuck with them. They're probably

513
00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:23,399
Speaker 1: not gonna have the number one overall pick, so are

514
00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:25,840
Speaker 1: they taking a quarterback really high? It's one of those

515
00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:27,399
Speaker 1: things I hear a lot of fan base like, we

516
00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:30,120
Speaker 1: just got to take a quarterback. Like, guys, I spent

517
00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:34,280
Speaker 1: a lot of hours throughout the fall watching college football,

518
00:28:34,800 --> 00:28:36,480
Speaker 1: and I have a decent amount of friends that do

519
00:28:36,600 --> 00:28:40,320
Speaker 1: this for a living. This is known as a terrible

520
00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:44,760
Speaker 1: quarterback class. Like, even with quarterback inflation, I don't think

521
00:28:44,800 --> 00:28:47,200
Speaker 1: you're gonna see many quarterbacks go in the first round.

522
00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:50,280
Speaker 1: So some of these teams that quote unquote are desperate

523
00:28:50,280 --> 00:28:55,240
Speaker 1: for a quarterback, like you waiting for the draft, might not,

524
00:28:55,920 --> 00:28:58,440
Speaker 1: you know, get your juices flowing on Night one. You

525
00:28:58,520 --> 00:29:00,440
Speaker 1: might be talking about like second and third and fourth

526
00:29:00,520 --> 00:29:03,440
Speaker 1: round quarterbacks. So really you're just talking about like the

527
00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:06,479
Speaker 1: Sam Darnold's of the world coming to your team. Obviously

528
00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:08,000
Speaker 1: not to the Jets, but I'm just saying if you're

529
00:29:08,040 --> 00:29:10,080
Speaker 1: one of those teams, you know that the same thing

530
00:29:10,120 --> 00:29:13,000
Speaker 1: with the Raiders and Titans, Like whoever gets the number

531
00:29:13,040 --> 00:29:16,160
Speaker 1: one overall pick. I think most people assume it's going

532
00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:19,440
Speaker 1: to be Shadoor Sanders and Chador has already made comments

533
00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:21,960
Speaker 1: that I want to go to the Raiders. I do

534
00:29:22,040 --> 00:29:25,200
Speaker 1: think the Titans. If you're Chador in Nashville, I think

535
00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:30,080
Speaker 1: would be pretty Sweet's place as well. Full disclosure, I

536
00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:33,160
Speaker 1: did not like you have to make decisions sometimes on Sunday,

537
00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:36,840
Speaker 1: especially as the season goes, and the four box options

538
00:29:36,880 --> 00:29:38,880
Speaker 1: this week were a little weird. I was trying to

539
00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:44,640
Speaker 1: mix a match but essentially the Titans and the Vikings game,

540
00:29:45,320 --> 00:29:47,840
Speaker 1: and I got multiple TVs and in a monitor, it

541
00:29:47,920 --> 00:29:51,560
Speaker 1: just didn't even get one. I had Pittsburgh going on

542
00:29:51,640 --> 00:29:53,520
Speaker 1: two separate. I had it on a four box and

543
00:29:53,600 --> 00:29:56,520
Speaker 1: in a monitor, and I had a jet. I just couldn't

544
00:29:56,520 --> 00:29:59,400
Speaker 1: make it happen. So I just didn't watch because I

545
00:29:59,480 --> 00:30:01,800
Speaker 1: just assumed the Titans would lose. And they lost by

546
00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:04,720
Speaker 1: ten points in Minnesota's weird, Like they were really fun

547
00:30:04,720 --> 00:30:07,360
Speaker 1: to watch early in the season. They're not quite doing

548
00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:11,040
Speaker 1: it formulately, but shit, they're eighting two, so I just

549
00:30:11,080 --> 00:30:14,200
Speaker 1: assume they would win that game. They did. Titans are terrible.

550
00:30:15,040 --> 00:30:16,840
Speaker 1: I would say the same thing about the Raiders. I

551
00:30:17,040 --> 00:30:19,840
Speaker 1: had that game on, but it's safe to say the

552
00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:24,760
Speaker 1: Raiders really really suck. I mean, they are really bad

553
00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:28,480
Speaker 1: and there is a lot of buzz right now. Is

554
00:30:28,520 --> 00:30:32,840
Speaker 1: Antonio Pierce gonna make it year two? He'd never been

555
00:30:32,920 --> 00:30:35,800
Speaker 1: a coordinator, he had been a couple of years as

556
00:30:35,840 --> 00:30:38,400
Speaker 1: a position coach in the NFL. I know he had

557
00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:40,440
Speaker 1: played for a long time. But this thing is really

558
00:30:40,480 --> 00:30:43,160
Speaker 1: really ugly. Now. You could argue was set up to fail.

559
00:30:44,280 --> 00:30:48,640
Speaker 1: It was a bizarre situation to begin with, But that

560
00:30:48,760 --> 00:30:52,440
Speaker 1: situation is worth monitoring. I've said all along, I just

561
00:30:52,520 --> 00:30:56,120
Speaker 1: assume Mark's gonna roll it back, But it feels like

562
00:30:56,160 --> 00:30:58,720
Speaker 1: it gets worse by the week. Like it's really ugly.

563
00:30:59,600 --> 00:31:03,160
Speaker 1: It's really ugly. And what if Dion floats out to

564
00:31:03,320 --> 00:31:05,520
Speaker 1: Mark and Tom Brady if they get the number one pick, Like,

565
00:31:06,800 --> 00:31:09,920
Speaker 1: the only way we're coming is if I'm the coach. Baby,

566
00:31:10,840 --> 00:31:14,800
Speaker 1: then is bye bye? Antonio? Come on in prime. In last,

567
00:31:14,800 --> 00:31:17,760
Speaker 1: but not least, speaking of Doug Peterson, the Jacks lost

568
00:31:17,760 --> 00:31:20,840
Speaker 1: fifty two to six. You lose fifty two to six,

569
00:31:20,960 --> 00:31:23,440
Speaker 1: like this is the National Football League? Happened to the

570
00:31:23,440 --> 00:31:25,440
Speaker 1: Titans a couple of weeks ago, Like you give up

571
00:31:25,520 --> 00:31:29,760
Speaker 1: fifty two points. I don't even know what to say.

572
00:31:29,920 --> 00:31:32,640
Speaker 1: You just you're speechless. I remember last year when the

573
00:31:32,640 --> 00:31:36,880
Speaker 1: Broncos gave up seventy You're like, listen, I want to

574
00:31:36,920 --> 00:31:38,560
Speaker 1: like Sean Payton. I mean, I would have given him

575
00:31:38,600 --> 00:31:40,520
Speaker 1: ninety million two if I was the Broncos ownership. But

576
00:31:40,520 --> 00:31:42,640
Speaker 1: I might just have to fire everybody. We just gave

577
00:31:42,720 --> 00:31:45,920
Speaker 1: up seventy points in the NFL game? Has that even

578
00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:51,360
Speaker 1: humanly possible? And the reality is not really never happens.

579
00:31:52,120 --> 00:31:55,680
Speaker 1: I'd argue it is feels very rare to ever see.

580
00:31:55,800 --> 00:31:58,280
Speaker 1: Now you got what's the Lions? They already did. It

581
00:31:58,320 --> 00:32:00,880
Speaker 1: makes it a little bit easier. And that was one

582
00:32:00,920 --> 00:32:02,920
Speaker 1: of those games that, like after halftime, I would have

583
00:32:02,960 --> 00:32:05,120
Speaker 1: gladly flipped to another game. Hell, I would have put

584
00:32:05,160 --> 00:32:08,600
Speaker 1: Minnesota Tennessee on because that game was somewhat close. But

585
00:32:08,680 --> 00:32:10,760
Speaker 1: I just didn't have the options on my four box

586
00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:13,080
Speaker 1: to keep the games that I wanted on my main TV,

587
00:32:13,600 --> 00:32:15,880
Speaker 1: So I was just stuck watching it. And every time

588
00:32:15,920 --> 00:32:18,880
Speaker 1: you looked, Jared got throw over over four hundred yards.

589
00:32:19,640 --> 00:32:22,000
Speaker 1: The Lions almost ran for two hundred yards. I think

590
00:32:22,040 --> 00:32:25,480
Speaker 1: it was one ninety six. I watched Dan Campbell because

591
00:32:25,600 --> 00:32:28,120
Speaker 1: schefter puts it out every week, his postgame speech where

592
00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:30,120
Speaker 1: he gives out game balls. He gave game balls to

593
00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:34,360
Speaker 1: everybody on the offense. They like shattered every single record, yards,

594
00:32:34,440 --> 00:32:38,680
Speaker 1: yards per play, touchdowns. It's like, I mean, they are,

595
00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:44,160
Speaker 1: it's crazy. But hey man, Doug will always have he

596
00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:47,480
Speaker 1: gets fired. He has a statue out in front of

597
00:32:47,480 --> 00:32:50,680
Speaker 1: Philadelphia and he brought them a super Bowl with Nick Foles.

598
00:32:50,720 --> 00:32:52,760
Speaker 1: So no matter how ugly it is in the outhouse,

599
00:32:52,760 --> 00:33:03,560
Speaker 1: no matter how shitty your team smells, your super Bowl champ. Okay,

600
00:33:03,560 --> 00:33:06,840
Speaker 1: the NFL season is rolling along and contenders are separating

601
00:33:06,840 --> 00:33:10,880
Speaker 1: from the pack. But one thing hasn't changed, baby. Draftking Sportsbook,

628
00:34:38,480 --> 00:34:40,720
Speaker 1: Okay, let's hit on a couple other stories from around

629
00:34:40,840 --> 00:34:44,480
Speaker 1: the National Football League today. The Giants, I don't know

630
00:34:44,480 --> 00:34:47,960
Speaker 1: if they announced, but the story was broken that Daniel

631
00:34:48,040 --> 00:34:51,960
Speaker 1: Jones will no longer be the starter and I think

632
00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:54,120
Speaker 1: it's safe to say, if all goes according to plan,

633
00:34:55,120 --> 00:34:58,640
Speaker 1: he has taken his last snap for the Giants, because,

634
00:34:58,680 --> 00:35:01,919
Speaker 1: like Russell Wilson last year and Derek Carr two years ago,

635
00:35:02,680 --> 00:35:05,640
Speaker 1: because of injury guarantees, if they were to get hurt,

636
00:35:06,640 --> 00:35:11,480
Speaker 1: they would be guaranteed money into two thousand the following year, right,

637
00:35:11,600 --> 00:35:13,680
Speaker 1: And for Daniel Jones, that number I think is twenty

638
00:35:13,719 --> 00:35:18,160
Speaker 1: three million dollars. So if they just cut him at

639
00:35:18,160 --> 00:35:21,000
Speaker 1: the end of the season, they don't. I don't know

640
00:35:21,040 --> 00:35:24,040
Speaker 1: exactly that they'll have some dead cap, but in terms

641
00:35:24,040 --> 00:35:26,279
Speaker 1: of guaranteed money next year that they've already paid him

642
00:35:26,280 --> 00:35:30,360
Speaker 1: eighty two million dollars. He's made eighty two million dollars

643
00:35:30,400 --> 00:35:33,920
Speaker 1: the last two seasons to be the starting quarterback for

644
00:35:33,960 --> 00:35:36,440
Speaker 1: a team that when he started went three and thirteen,

645
00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:41,960
Speaker 1: and in those sixteen games he threw ten touchdowns and

646
00:35:42,120 --> 00:35:47,200
Speaker 1: thirteen interceptions. He has been one of the I would

647
00:35:47,239 --> 00:35:52,120
Speaker 1: say craziest failures we've ever seen when it comes to

648
00:35:52,880 --> 00:35:55,759
Speaker 1: a contract and just an immediate like this guy can't play,

649
00:35:57,040 --> 00:35:59,160
Speaker 1: like he's just not a very good player at all,

650
00:35:59,280 --> 00:36:02,200
Speaker 1: Like you have no chance when he's your starting quarterback

651
00:36:02,280 --> 00:36:05,799
Speaker 1: to beat the opposing team on a Sunday, whether that

652
00:36:05,840 --> 00:36:08,080
Speaker 1: team is the Eagles or whether that team is just

653
00:36:08,280 --> 00:36:12,120
Speaker 1: some random, shitty team, you are probably going to lose.

654
00:36:12,160 --> 00:36:14,680
Speaker 1: When Daniel Jones was starting quarterback. Now they're going to

655
00:36:14,680 --> 00:36:17,759
Speaker 1: Tommy Cutlet's and not Drew Locke, who they gave five

656
00:36:17,760 --> 00:36:19,640
Speaker 1: million dollars to, And a lot of people are reporting

657
00:36:19,640 --> 00:36:22,200
Speaker 1: that that's because of incentives and they don't want to

658
00:36:22,200 --> 00:36:24,960
Speaker 1: pay him either. And I think John Mora is in

659
00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:29,080
Speaker 1: this weird spot, and listen, I'm not absolving him from

660
00:36:29,160 --> 00:36:33,120
Speaker 1: this situation. He took part in what I would consider

661
00:36:33,200 --> 00:36:37,000
Speaker 1: like legal fraud. That's what Daniel Jones and his agents

662
00:36:37,160 --> 00:36:41,560
Speaker 1: just committed legal fraud. Eighty two million dollars for that.

663
00:36:42,480 --> 00:36:45,080
Speaker 1: They give me a break. I saw a headline the

664
00:36:45,120 --> 00:36:48,160
Speaker 1: other day and I clicked on the article that CNN

665
00:36:48,200 --> 00:36:52,200
Speaker 1: and Chris Wallace are going their separate ways, and Chris

666
00:36:52,280 --> 00:36:55,279
Speaker 1: kind of announced that he was he was leaving to

667
00:36:55,320 --> 00:36:57,799
Speaker 1: start his own ventures. And it turns out they were

668
00:36:57,800 --> 00:37:02,480
Speaker 1: paying him seven million dollars, which I don't know much about,

669
00:37:02,520 --> 00:37:06,640
Speaker 1: like his shows, and I was reading that his viewership

670
00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:10,040
Speaker 1: is obviously greatly diminished over the last four or five years,

671
00:37:10,920 --> 00:37:13,759
Speaker 1: and in this business right, And when I worked in

672
00:37:13,840 --> 00:37:17,440
Speaker 1: radio and in television, they sell ads based on the

673
00:37:17,480 --> 00:37:21,840
Speaker 1: demo twenty four to fifty four or maybe it's twenty

674
00:37:21,840 --> 00:37:25,200
Speaker 1: five to fifty four whatever that range. In sports talk radio,

675
00:37:25,280 --> 00:37:29,319
Speaker 1: for example, forever it was that range men only, and

676
00:37:29,360 --> 00:37:32,239
Speaker 1: that's what you sold your advertisers on. Well, they were

677
00:37:32,280 --> 00:37:35,319
Speaker 1: paying him seven million dollars and there were less than

678
00:37:35,400 --> 00:37:40,279
Speaker 1: eighty five thousand people that fit that demo. Like on

679
00:37:40,360 --> 00:37:44,240
Speaker 1: the open market, Chris Wallace, I wouldn't sniff five hundred

680
00:37:44,239 --> 00:37:48,040
Speaker 1: grand deverely. Ain't like he's slinging a lot of product

681
00:37:48,560 --> 00:37:50,520
Speaker 1: his deal for the last couple of years, making that

682
00:37:50,560 --> 00:37:54,600
Speaker 1: type money when that was his audience. I'd consider that

683
00:37:54,680 --> 00:37:57,239
Speaker 1: like legal fraud. It's a great gig if you can

684
00:37:57,239 --> 00:38:00,439
Speaker 1: get it. It's legalized stealing. You're getting paid or something

685
00:38:00,480 --> 00:38:03,040
Speaker 1: that you could not produce. And that's what happened with

686
00:38:03,120 --> 00:38:06,120
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones. They made two million dollars over a two

687
00:38:06,200 --> 00:38:08,760
Speaker 1: year period, and he was easily one of the worst

688
00:38:08,760 --> 00:38:11,600
Speaker 1: players in the NFL to continue to start at any position.

689
00:38:12,239 --> 00:38:15,319
Speaker 1: And obviously, when you're an awful player at quarterback, your

690
00:38:15,360 --> 00:38:18,719
Speaker 1: team's gonna blow. And it's not all his fault. I mean,

691
00:38:18,800 --> 00:38:21,279
Speaker 1: it's not like they are loaded at wide receiver. Their

692
00:38:21,320 --> 00:38:23,680
Speaker 1: offensive line the last couple of years hasn't been great.

693
00:38:24,200 --> 00:38:25,719
Speaker 1: But you watch him and you know, this guy's not

694
00:38:25,800 --> 00:38:28,120
Speaker 1: very good player. He'd be a good backup and he'd

695
00:38:28,120 --> 00:38:30,839
Speaker 1: probably make three, four to five million dollars. Well, there's

696
00:38:30,880 --> 00:38:33,120
Speaker 1: a big difference of paying a guy four million dollars

697
00:38:33,160 --> 00:38:35,480
Speaker 1: to be your backup and paying him forty two million

698
00:38:35,520 --> 00:38:38,920
Speaker 1: dollars to be your starter. And the Giants listen. It's

699
00:38:38,960 --> 00:38:41,600
Speaker 1: hard to figure out exactly who's to blame for this,

700
00:38:42,239 --> 00:38:45,880
Speaker 1: because clearly the owner had his hands in this. He

701
00:38:46,160 --> 00:38:48,720
Speaker 1: viewed him as the more athletic Eli Manning, which clearly

702
00:38:48,800 --> 00:38:53,399
Speaker 1: wasn't true. Joe Shane unless he's just you know, being

703
00:38:53,440 --> 00:38:57,680
Speaker 1: the ultimate company man, saying his praises every single turn

704
00:38:58,120 --> 00:39:00,399
Speaker 1: that he came, and a microphone was sitt in front

705
00:39:00,400 --> 00:39:03,319
Speaker 1: of him every interview, every time he talked on Hard

706
00:39:03,400 --> 00:39:06,879
Speaker 1: Knocks like he was very complimentary of Daniel Jones. There's

707
00:39:06,880 --> 00:39:08,600
Speaker 1: no way to dispute that, and he's been now for

708
00:39:08,640 --> 00:39:12,640
Speaker 1: several years. Brian Dayball. It is harder to gauge, but

709
00:39:12,719 --> 00:39:14,920
Speaker 1: I think after you know, when they went nine and

710
00:39:15,400 --> 00:39:17,040
Speaker 1: was at nine to eight, and they made the playoffs

711
00:39:17,040 --> 00:39:18,560
Speaker 1: and won a playoff game. It felt like he was

712
00:39:18,600 --> 00:39:21,520
Speaker 1: okay with them now at that price point. I don't know,

713
00:39:22,280 --> 00:39:26,400
Speaker 1: but whenever coaches go that's not my area of expertise.

714
00:39:26,520 --> 00:39:29,640
Speaker 1: I don't deal with the cap true, Like, I'm not

715
00:39:29,719 --> 00:39:33,720
Speaker 1: expecting you to break down the contract word for word,

716
00:39:34,440 --> 00:39:36,040
Speaker 1: But if you're gonna be a head coach in the NFL,

717
00:39:36,040 --> 00:39:38,960
Speaker 1: you gotta have a pretty fucking good idea what players

718
00:39:38,960 --> 00:39:41,160
Speaker 1: are worth. If this is a good idea or this

719
00:39:41,520 --> 00:39:44,600
Speaker 1: is a bad idea big picture wise, especially when it

720
00:39:44,600 --> 00:39:46,960
Speaker 1: comes down to quarterback. So if he was on board

721
00:39:47,000 --> 00:39:51,640
Speaker 1: as well, like it's an institutional disaster and the Giants

722
00:39:51,680 --> 00:39:57,040
Speaker 1: got robbed, which whatever. Sometimes if if our houses get

723
00:39:57,120 --> 00:40:00,200
Speaker 1: robbed and we have insurance, like you can figure it out,

724
00:40:00,320 --> 00:40:03,680
Speaker 1: it sucks. But that's not the way this works, right.

725
00:40:03,800 --> 00:40:08,240
Speaker 1: This guy has taken your money, given you very little,

726
00:40:09,000 --> 00:40:13,359
Speaker 1: and halted any progress for the organization. And now you've

727
00:40:13,400 --> 00:40:17,160
Speaker 1: been lapped in the in the division and in the conference.

728
00:40:17,480 --> 00:40:21,360
Speaker 1: Right Obviously, Jalen and Jaden and the Eagles in Washington

729
00:40:21,440 --> 00:40:24,560
Speaker 1: are good. The Cowboys are having an awful season, but

730
00:40:25,520 --> 00:40:28,399
Speaker 1: the Giants would give I don't know they're left leg

731
00:40:28,920 --> 00:40:31,800
Speaker 1: to have Dak Prescott as the quarterback of their team.

732
00:40:32,520 --> 00:40:35,200
Speaker 1: So how does this team get out of this? How

733
00:40:35,200 --> 00:40:38,440
Speaker 1: does this team acquire a new quarterback? I don't know.

734
00:40:39,080 --> 00:40:41,560
Speaker 1: I mean, you can hope in the draft, but what

735
00:40:41,600 --> 00:40:44,200
Speaker 1: if they don't have the number one overall pick? Like that?

736
00:40:44,280 --> 00:40:47,200
Speaker 1: This is an awful quarterback draft. Let me repeat, an

737
00:40:47,400 --> 00:40:51,520
Speaker 1: awful quarterback draft. So I always hear whenever I read

738
00:40:51,520 --> 00:40:54,319
Speaker 1: about these bad teams or listen to people that cover

739
00:40:54,400 --> 00:40:55,960
Speaker 1: these bad teams, like they got to take a court

740
00:40:56,040 --> 00:40:59,600
Speaker 1: they do. There are just quarterbacks everywhere in this draft.

741
00:40:59,640 --> 00:41:03,200
Speaker 1: This is not twenty twenty four where there were six

742
00:41:03,200 --> 00:41:06,120
Speaker 1: guys taking the top twelve picks that most people thought

743
00:41:06,360 --> 00:41:11,000
Speaker 1: could play. And if you know, we'll find out in time.

744
00:41:11,120 --> 00:41:15,360
Speaker 1: But so far is going pretty good. Caleb kind of

745
00:41:15,360 --> 00:41:18,160
Speaker 1: shut everyone up against the backers, like, okay, he can play.

746
00:41:18,560 --> 00:41:21,240
Speaker 1: Jayden's had a fantastic rookie year, Drake May looks excellent.

747
00:41:21,280 --> 00:41:23,880
Speaker 1: Bo Nix is starting to trend again toward the Rookie

748
00:41:23,920 --> 00:41:26,000
Speaker 1: of the Year. Hell I even looked at one of

749
00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:28,440
Speaker 1: the little four boxes on my TV when Atlanta was

750
00:41:28,440 --> 00:41:31,719
Speaker 1: getting their teeth kicked in by Denver and they brought

751
00:41:31,800 --> 00:41:34,200
Speaker 1: in Panix and he's slung it a couple times across

752
00:41:34,239 --> 00:41:36,440
Speaker 1: the middle. I'm like, hell yeah, Michael, I'll see you

753
00:41:38,080 --> 00:41:41,520
Speaker 1: so man, I feel for Giants fans. You paid eighty

754
00:41:41,520 --> 00:41:45,000
Speaker 1: two million dollars you had to watch this, and your

755
00:41:45,080 --> 00:41:48,640
Speaker 1: organization is just in complete shambles. You know what's funny

756
00:41:48,680 --> 00:41:52,480
Speaker 1: about the Ravens. It's weird about Lamar, right. I guess

757
00:41:52,560 --> 00:41:54,880
Speaker 1: the Chiefs get this sometimes too, Like everyone wants to

758
00:41:55,000 --> 00:42:00,160
Speaker 1: argue about their greatness or if they're getting if they're

759
00:42:00,200 --> 00:42:03,120
Speaker 1: getting over on everybody by the referees giving them calls,

760
00:42:03,680 --> 00:42:06,239
Speaker 1: if they're actually the most overrated good team in the

761
00:42:06,320 --> 00:42:09,560
Speaker 1: history of the world. It's like, guys, they've won three

762
00:42:09,600 --> 00:42:12,279
Speaker 1: Super Bowls in five years, they went to another one

763
00:42:12,320 --> 00:42:15,399
Speaker 1: over that period of time, and they were currently nine

764
00:42:15,440 --> 00:42:19,080
Speaker 1: to zero before kickoff at Buffalo, Like we can argue

765
00:42:19,120 --> 00:42:21,960
Speaker 1: till we're blue in the face. Like I would say,

766
00:42:22,000 --> 00:42:24,480
Speaker 1: just the black and white numbers are on their side.

767
00:42:25,160 --> 00:42:27,719
Speaker 1: They win a lot and that's really the only goal,

768
00:42:28,560 --> 00:42:32,200
Speaker 1: and they have three rings to show for it. But like,

769
00:42:32,239 --> 00:42:35,400
Speaker 1: the Ravens are a pretty polarizing team, in part because,

770
00:42:35,719 --> 00:42:38,960
Speaker 1: like Lamar, defenders I think can be really exhausting, Like

771
00:42:39,040 --> 00:42:40,840
Speaker 1: we're not arguing if Lamar is a good player or

772
00:42:40,880 --> 00:42:44,279
Speaker 1: not anymore. Like that ended several years ago, and let's

773
00:42:44,320 --> 00:42:47,760
Speaker 1: face it, the organization was part of the problem. Remember,

774
00:42:47,840 --> 00:42:49,920
Speaker 1: It's like, are you guys gonna pay him? And it

775
00:42:50,000 --> 00:42:52,279
Speaker 1: was like they had this long steering contest that wasn't

776
00:42:52,280 --> 00:42:57,640
Speaker 1: anyone's opinion. That was Bushadi Da Costa and John Harbaugh

777
00:42:57,680 --> 00:43:00,520
Speaker 1: against like Lamar. I think his moms as age like

778
00:43:00,560 --> 00:43:03,200
Speaker 1: that was weird. Like they did that. It's like where

779
00:43:03,239 --> 00:43:04,920
Speaker 1: they trade them to Atlanta. It's like, no, they're not

780
00:43:04,960 --> 00:43:07,640
Speaker 1: gonna trade them, but they kind of made them work

781
00:43:07,719 --> 00:43:11,560
Speaker 1: for that contract physically and emotionally. And then in the

782
00:43:11,600 --> 00:43:14,680
Speaker 1: last couple of years, he's a remarkable player. He is

783
00:43:14,760 --> 00:43:17,480
Speaker 1: a Hall of Fame player. He is one of the

784
00:43:17,520 --> 00:43:20,440
Speaker 1: more fun players to watch in the history of the NFL.

785
00:43:21,120 --> 00:43:23,840
Speaker 1: But like we got some data points now, in the

786
00:43:23,840 --> 00:43:26,800
Speaker 1: biggest games against the best teams, it's been a struggle.

787
00:43:28,000 --> 00:43:30,920
Speaker 1: And he's played two massive games these last two years,

788
00:43:31,360 --> 00:43:35,000
Speaker 1: the Kansay Chiefs in the AFC Championship game and then

789
00:43:35,040 --> 00:43:39,200
Speaker 1: the Pittsburgh Steelers yesterday. That was huge for Baltimore because

790
00:43:39,239 --> 00:43:41,360
Speaker 1: if they lost, because they already shipped the bed against

791
00:43:41,360 --> 00:43:45,239
Speaker 1: somehow they lost to the Raiders. Week two. You lose

792
00:43:45,320 --> 00:43:48,160
Speaker 1: the Chiefs Week one. Okay, it's the NFL. They're on

793
00:43:48,200 --> 00:43:51,719
Speaker 1: the road, they're better than you. Whatever. The Browns divisional game,

794
00:43:51,760 --> 00:43:54,640
Speaker 1: that's gonna happen. If you go thirteen and four like

795
00:43:54,719 --> 00:43:57,239
Speaker 1: you're gonna lose a random divisional game. I got no

796
00:43:57,320 --> 00:44:01,760
Speaker 1: issue with that. But the Pittsburgh Steelers, they didn't score

797
00:44:01,800 --> 00:44:05,920
Speaker 1: a touchdown. You have your two biggest games when you

798
00:44:05,960 --> 00:44:08,640
Speaker 1: have one of the greatest quarterbacks. It's all I ever hear. Listen,

799
00:44:08,680 --> 00:44:10,760
Speaker 1: I've even come around. I'm like, yeah, he's fucking awesome.

800
00:44:12,000 --> 00:44:16,400
Speaker 1: The Chiefs scored seventeen points in that playoff game. The

801
00:44:16,400 --> 00:44:20,120
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh Steelers scored eighteen points yesterday and did not score

802
00:44:20,120 --> 00:44:24,000
Speaker 1: a touchdown. So in your two biggest games of the

803
00:44:24,080 --> 00:44:27,960
Speaker 1: last calendar year, you have lost them both with this

804
00:44:28,080 --> 00:44:31,160
Speaker 1: all time great quarterback when the opponent has averaged seventeen

805
00:44:31,200 --> 00:44:34,759
Speaker 1: and a half points. Let's face it, going into that

806
00:44:34,840 --> 00:44:38,400
Speaker 1: game on Sunday, if I would have told you the

807
00:44:38,400 --> 00:44:41,600
Speaker 1: Steelers are not going to score a touchdown, and they'll

808
00:44:41,640 --> 00:44:43,040
Speaker 1: kick a lot of field goals, but they will not

809
00:44:43,080 --> 00:44:47,000
Speaker 1: eclipse twenty points. I know what I would have done.

810
00:44:48,360 --> 00:44:51,040
Speaker 1: I would have moved my bet from taking the Steelers

811
00:44:51,200 --> 00:44:53,719
Speaker 1: as a dog at home and putting it all in

812
00:44:53,719 --> 00:44:55,920
Speaker 1: the Ravens. I'd be like, I bet they win this

813
00:44:55,960 --> 00:45:01,319
Speaker 1: thing twenty five to fifteen, twenty four to thirteen, I

814
00:45:01,360 --> 00:45:03,880
Speaker 1: guess that would twenty four to twelve. I would have

815
00:45:03,880 --> 00:45:06,560
Speaker 1: thought of something like that. Wait, they're not gonna score

816
00:45:06,560 --> 00:45:09,160
Speaker 1: a touchdown. Yeah, the Ravens are gonna win the game.

817
00:45:10,440 --> 00:45:13,479
Speaker 1: And it's like, no, actually the game happened, and that's

818
00:45:13,520 --> 00:45:17,240
Speaker 1: not what happened. Everyone was like the drops, the drops.

819
00:45:17,880 --> 00:45:21,120
Speaker 1: It's a guys. He completed sixteen passes. It wasn't all

820
00:45:21,200 --> 00:45:25,400
Speaker 1: fucking drops. And I think what happens against the Steelers

821
00:45:25,520 --> 00:45:29,840
Speaker 1: and the Chiefs is these teams limit his ability to

822
00:45:29,960 --> 00:45:34,160
Speaker 1: just run around and freelance and take off NonStop. They

823
00:45:34,239 --> 00:45:40,960
Speaker 1: don't allow it. And when he scrambles, he is not

824
00:45:41,040 --> 00:45:43,799
Speaker 1: gonna take off, and in his mind, I'm going to throw.

825
00:45:44,600 --> 00:45:47,080
Speaker 1: And sometimes yesterday he did hit some guys in stride

826
00:45:47,120 --> 00:45:50,400
Speaker 1: and they dropped the ball. And sometimes he airmails it

827
00:45:50,760 --> 00:45:54,360
Speaker 1: or skipped a ball like it was a bad performance.

828
00:45:55,400 --> 00:45:57,760
Speaker 1: And it's something to keep an eye on now moving

829
00:45:57,800 --> 00:45:59,919
Speaker 1: forward in these playoffs because we had the data point

830
00:46:00,120 --> 00:46:03,000
Speaker 1: in previous years in the playoffs alone, and now we

831
00:46:03,080 --> 00:46:06,319
Speaker 1: have this like major Steeler data point of like he

832
00:46:06,360 --> 00:46:10,680
Speaker 1: plays like shit against them. It's not arguable anymore. Right,

833
00:46:11,000 --> 00:46:12,600
Speaker 1: It's like we have the eye test, we have the

834
00:46:12,640 --> 00:46:16,600
Speaker 1: fucking data. It's just factual. Now he beats the crap

835
00:46:16,600 --> 00:46:20,560
Speaker 1: out of most other teams. And that's awesome, and that's

836
00:46:20,560 --> 00:46:22,400
Speaker 1: how you make all this money and that's how you

837
00:46:22,560 --> 00:46:25,279
Speaker 1: lead your team to the playoffs every year. But he's

838
00:46:25,320 --> 00:46:28,240
Speaker 1: at the point now where it's like just basically judged

839
00:46:28,280 --> 00:46:31,799
Speaker 1: on playoff victories and how many times you win the division, right,

840
00:46:32,120 --> 00:46:35,080
Speaker 1: I mean that's like ultimately what Brady started rattling off

841
00:46:35,080 --> 00:46:38,120
Speaker 1: as they won the division, like fifteen out of sixteen years,

842
00:46:38,840 --> 00:46:40,680
Speaker 1: won a bunch of playoff games, went to Super Bowls,

843
00:46:40,719 --> 00:46:43,919
Speaker 1: and won super Bowls. Like it's no longer about touchdown pass.

844
00:46:43,960 --> 00:46:46,280
Speaker 1: Like all that stuff's cool and it's awesome on Sunday,

845
00:46:46,760 --> 00:46:49,000
Speaker 1: but like all these guys and the crew of guys

846
00:46:49,000 --> 00:46:53,160
Speaker 1: he's chasing now is like playoff victories, super Bowls and

847
00:46:53,239 --> 00:46:56,080
Speaker 1: if you can't beat Mahomes, so be it. Like I'll

848
00:46:56,120 --> 00:46:58,360
Speaker 1: never hold that against you. If you can't beat the

849
00:46:58,400 --> 00:47:01,239
Speaker 1: Chiefs because they've beat everybody, just like the Patriots, you

850
00:47:01,280 --> 00:47:04,440
Speaker 1: couldn't be the Patriots. Okay, so be it. But like

851
00:47:04,520 --> 00:47:05,840
Speaker 1: if you get to the playoffs and you play the

852
00:47:05,880 --> 00:47:08,360
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh Steelers in Round one and it's the three six,

853
00:47:10,360 --> 00:47:13,960
Speaker 1: you can't lose that game and be taken seriously like that.

854
00:47:14,080 --> 00:47:16,080
Speaker 1: That's kind of where we're at. And I think the

855
00:47:16,080 --> 00:47:20,680
Speaker 1: pressure after yesterday amps up because this offense turns into

856
00:47:20,719 --> 00:47:24,279
Speaker 1: a pumpkin. It feels like when everyone's paying attention and

857
00:47:24,320 --> 00:47:28,600
Speaker 1: it really really matters, and it really really matters. It's like, wait,

858
00:47:29,560 --> 00:47:33,080
Speaker 1: they scored eighteen points and he lost, and honestly, you

859
00:47:33,120 --> 00:47:35,719
Speaker 1: were always kind of trailing and it never felt like

860
00:47:35,760 --> 00:47:38,960
Speaker 1: you were gonna win the game. Bizarre. Listen, I'm not

861
00:47:39,000 --> 00:47:42,440
Speaker 1: acting like the Steelers are God's greatest gift of football.

862
00:47:42,960 --> 00:47:46,720
Speaker 1: I mean, Russell took some awful sacks yesterday. He holds

863
00:47:46,760 --> 00:47:49,160
Speaker 1: onto the ball too long, partly because like when they're

864
00:47:49,160 --> 00:47:52,680
Speaker 1: passing game, it's like going deep, throwing that lollipop down

865
00:47:52,719 --> 00:47:55,600
Speaker 1: the sideline. Don't really attack the middle of the field.

866
00:47:55,640 --> 00:47:58,879
Speaker 1: That's never been his thing. You know. I thought one

867
00:47:58,880 --> 00:48:01,600
Speaker 1: thing cool they did yesterday is they brought in fields

868
00:48:01,640 --> 00:48:04,120
Speaker 1: a couple times for kind of that zone read. He

869
00:48:04,200 --> 00:48:07,320
Speaker 1: kept it and he took off, should have dove forward

870
00:48:07,640 --> 00:48:09,560
Speaker 1: at the end of the game to icity slid, but

871
00:48:10,680 --> 00:48:14,040
Speaker 1: they ended up getting it. Regardless. That's a cool little

872
00:48:14,040 --> 00:48:19,040
Speaker 1: element to their offense. But I you know, are the

873
00:48:19,040 --> 00:48:23,120
Speaker 1: Steelers winning multiple playoff games playing like that. It's not

874
00:48:23,200 --> 00:48:28,160
Speaker 1: like Russell looked great yesterday and the Ravens offense. Think

875
00:48:28,160 --> 00:48:31,319
Speaker 1: about this. Russell did not score or did not throw

876
00:48:31,360 --> 00:48:35,000
Speaker 1: a touchdown against the Ravens. Joe Burrow in two games

877
00:48:35,040 --> 00:48:39,799
Speaker 1: has nine touchdowns. Like this is a pass defense that

878
00:48:40,040 --> 00:48:43,800
Speaker 1: is terrible and the Steelers couldn't exploit that, especially in

879
00:48:43,880 --> 00:48:46,880
Speaker 1: the red zone. So make me a little nervous. I

880
00:48:46,920 --> 00:48:50,080
Speaker 1: found the Steelers big picture wise, very proud of my squad,

881
00:48:50,200 --> 00:48:54,040
Speaker 1: proud of my guy Tolman. But it's just, you know,

882
00:48:54,280 --> 00:48:59,440
Speaker 1: to beat the Chiefs, to beat the Bills, definitely the Bills, honestly,

883
00:48:59,480 --> 00:49:02,239
Speaker 1: to beat the raven again, like you probably gonna scorse touchdowns.

884
00:49:02,640 --> 00:49:02,839
Speaker 3: Uh.

885
00:49:02,920 --> 00:49:04,319
Speaker 1: You know one thing that jumped out to me about

886
00:49:04,360 --> 00:49:09,840
Speaker 1: Kansas City is can they win the AFC again with this?

887
00:49:10,000 --> 00:49:14,040
Speaker 1: Kelsey and I think sometimes a narrative can start like

888
00:49:14,080 --> 00:49:17,440
Speaker 1: he's just old. He's just old. And early on, whenever

889
00:49:17,480 --> 00:49:21,160
Speaker 1: you talk about a legendary player, there's always pushback. Like

890
00:49:21,239 --> 00:49:23,719
Speaker 1: early on, it's like, oh, Rogers, like let's give him time,

891
00:49:23,960 --> 00:49:26,480
Speaker 1: Like yeah, we're mid November, and everyone acknowledges, like, yeah,

892
00:49:26,480 --> 00:49:30,040
Speaker 1: he's old, good shot fighter. And I looked at the

893
00:49:30,080 --> 00:49:35,879
Speaker 1: Chiefs Travis's numbers from twenty sixteen to twenty twenty two,

894
00:49:37,080 --> 00:49:40,640
Speaker 1: I mean, the prime of his career, his Hall of

895
00:49:40,640 --> 00:49:45,640
Speaker 1: Fame resume. He never averaged less than twelve point two

896
00:49:45,760 --> 00:49:50,960
Speaker 1: yards per catch. He became the greatest pass catching tight

897
00:49:51,080 --> 00:49:55,719
Speaker 1: end over that span. Last year, remember, it was like, God,

898
00:49:55,800 --> 00:49:59,400
Speaker 1: he doesn't quite look the same. He averaged a little

899
00:49:59,440 --> 00:50:02,800
Speaker 1: over ten ten yards per catch and had five touchdowns

900
00:50:02,800 --> 00:50:07,720
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty three. But in the playoffs he flipped

901
00:50:07,719 --> 00:50:12,440
Speaker 1: a switch, averaged over eleven yards per catch and had

902
00:50:12,480 --> 00:50:15,759
Speaker 1: three touchdowns in four games and was obviously excellent, and

903
00:50:15,760 --> 00:50:20,480
Speaker 1: it looked much closer to his old self. Well, this season,

904
00:50:21,440 --> 00:50:25,560
Speaker 1: he's averaging under nine yards per catch and he only

905
00:50:25,600 --> 00:50:28,200
Speaker 1: has a couple of touchdowns, and he's just no longer

906
00:50:28,239 --> 00:50:32,560
Speaker 1: a major factor in their passing game. I think he

907
00:50:32,600 --> 00:50:36,560
Speaker 1: has sixty catches on the season, So there's a quantity

908
00:50:36,600 --> 00:50:40,640
Speaker 1: to his catches, but in terms of explosion down the field,

909
00:50:40,680 --> 00:50:44,920
Speaker 1: which I mean in the prime of his career, which

910
00:50:45,360 --> 00:50:47,920
Speaker 1: wasn't that long ago, it felt like he was the

911
00:50:47,960 --> 00:50:51,959
Speaker 1: greatest athlete we'd ever seen at the position. Remember the game.

912
00:50:52,040 --> 00:50:53,600
Speaker 1: I think it was a Sunday night game. Maybe it

913
00:50:53,600 --> 00:50:56,720
Speaker 1: was a Thursday night game against the Chargers when Tyreek

914
00:50:56,840 --> 00:50:59,560
Speaker 1: was still on the team, and those guys just had

915
00:50:59,600 --> 00:51:03,120
Speaker 1: two incredible games in a comeback victory. I think that

916
00:51:03,160 --> 00:51:06,200
Speaker 1: might have been Brandon Staley's first year. It's like, how

917
00:51:06,200 --> 00:51:08,719
Speaker 1: do you stop this guy? I remember doing a podcast

918
00:51:08,760 --> 00:51:12,080
Speaker 1: after claiming I think it was the greatest trio in

919
00:51:12,120 --> 00:51:16,520
Speaker 1: the history of the league. Definitely the most dominant offensive trio, Patrick,

920
00:51:16,640 --> 00:51:19,759
Speaker 1: Tyreek and Travis Now, I do think it's fair to say,

921
00:51:19,800 --> 00:51:24,480
Speaker 1: like Travi's got old now and the numbers are kind

922
00:51:24,480 --> 00:51:28,279
Speaker 1: of reflecting that. So if I'm a Chiefs fan, I

923
00:51:28,280 --> 00:51:30,239
Speaker 1: have so much faith in my defense, I have so

924
00:51:30,320 --> 00:51:32,480
Speaker 1: much faith in my head coach. I have so much

925
00:51:32,560 --> 00:51:35,360
Speaker 1: faith in my quarterback in a big game. I do

926
00:51:35,400 --> 00:51:37,400
Speaker 1: think it's fair to say, like I think Travis, you

927
00:51:37,400 --> 00:51:41,480
Speaker 1: have faith in him, But is his body still the

928
00:51:41,520 --> 00:51:45,120
Speaker 1: same did he cross that line where it's like, I'm

929
00:51:45,120 --> 00:51:47,640
Speaker 1: not going to be able to reach back in and

930
00:51:47,800 --> 00:51:50,080
Speaker 1: have a three game stretch in the playoffs where I

931
00:51:50,120 --> 00:51:53,560
Speaker 1: average eleven yards per catch and give you a touchdown

932
00:51:53,600 --> 00:51:57,040
Speaker 1: a game. Those days. Those days might be over. The

933
00:51:57,120 --> 00:52:01,560
Speaker 1: one thing they got going for him is going undefeated

934
00:52:01,600 --> 00:52:03,960
Speaker 1: as long as they did and winning all those crazy games.

935
00:52:04,560 --> 00:52:08,560
Speaker 1: That two game buffer they had going into that Bills game. Okay,

936
00:52:08,640 --> 00:52:11,319
Speaker 1: the Bills beat them, and we're nine to one, they're

937
00:52:11,320 --> 00:52:14,239
Speaker 1: eight and two. Well, I looked at the U or

938
00:52:14,280 --> 00:52:16,719
Speaker 1: they're nine and two. I guess now I looked at

939
00:52:16,719 --> 00:52:20,440
Speaker 1: the bills remaining schedule. They gotta buy this week. In

940
00:52:20,480 --> 00:52:22,360
Speaker 1: two weeks, they play the forty nine ers on Sunday

941
00:52:22,400 --> 00:52:26,160
Speaker 1: Night Football. Then they played the Rams and the Lions

942
00:52:26,200 --> 00:52:29,920
Speaker 1: on the road. Like obviously the Niners are not as

943
00:52:29,960 --> 00:52:32,000
Speaker 1: good as they've been, that's still gonna be a tough game.

944
00:52:32,800 --> 00:52:34,600
Speaker 1: I think they would have to go two and one

945
00:52:34,880 --> 00:52:37,839
Speaker 1: in those games, and then they'd feel pretty good about

946
00:52:37,880 --> 00:52:41,040
Speaker 1: the ending to their season, which is Pats Jets Pats.

947
00:52:42,200 --> 00:52:44,759
Speaker 1: So if they can go five and one the rest

948
00:52:44,840 --> 00:52:48,239
Speaker 1: of the season, they would be a fourteen to three team.

949
00:52:49,719 --> 00:52:54,000
Speaker 1: The problem is, like Kansas City. I mean this week

950
00:52:54,040 --> 00:52:57,640
Speaker 1: they played the Panthers. I mean, you know, I are

951
00:52:57,680 --> 00:53:01,160
Speaker 1: they gonna lose two more games? And maybe they do,

952
00:53:02,000 --> 00:53:04,600
Speaker 1: but I do think it shows, you like, for the Bills,

953
00:53:05,280 --> 00:53:09,000
Speaker 1: they really have no margin for error in terms of

954
00:53:09,040 --> 00:53:13,720
Speaker 1: the number one seed, which I think is massive for Buffalo.

955
00:53:14,080 --> 00:53:16,040
Speaker 1: I really do, because if you tell me they get

956
00:53:16,040 --> 00:53:19,920
Speaker 1: two home games again, I mean last year they technically

957
00:53:19,920 --> 00:53:23,640
Speaker 1: got two home games and obviously lost to Kansas City,

958
00:53:23,760 --> 00:53:26,520
Speaker 1: you would have to like their chances, you know, I

959
00:53:26,600 --> 00:53:28,759
Speaker 1: like their chances last year. It's hard, it's the playoffs,

960
00:53:29,280 --> 00:53:31,880
Speaker 1: but that is a really, really tough place to play.

961
00:53:32,560 --> 00:53:34,920
Speaker 1: I did want to hit on a couple sounds I

962
00:53:34,960 --> 00:53:37,680
Speaker 1: saw from just different people out there in the on

963
00:53:37,719 --> 00:53:43,200
Speaker 1: the internet streets. An absolute radio legend, Mike Francessa who

964
00:53:43,239 --> 00:53:46,040
Speaker 1: retired a couple years ago from WFN. I guess he

965
00:53:46,080 --> 00:53:49,680
Speaker 1: does a podcast now and he essentially just like reacts

966
00:53:49,719 --> 00:53:52,880
Speaker 1: to you know, big Yankee games and big Giants and

967
00:53:52,960 --> 00:53:55,759
Speaker 1: Jets games. And I have seen this come up on

968
00:53:55,800 --> 00:53:58,440
Speaker 1: my YouTube feed a couple times, and someone posted it

969
00:53:58,480 --> 00:54:00,600
Speaker 1: on my Twitter account or you know, when I was

970
00:54:00,640 --> 00:54:03,879
Speaker 1: scrolling around and he just made me I started peeing

971
00:54:03,960 --> 00:54:07,200
Speaker 1: my pants laughing because I guess Jeff Olbrich had some

972
00:54:07,239 --> 00:54:09,840
Speaker 1: comments after the game. They're going on a bye week

973
00:54:10,480 --> 00:54:13,200
Speaker 1: and uh just listen to uh, I guess one of

974
00:54:13,200 --> 00:54:18,960
Speaker 1: the godfathers of sports talk radio discussing Olbrick in the

975
00:54:19,000 --> 00:54:19,840
Speaker 1: New York Jets.

976
00:54:20,200 --> 00:54:23,279
Speaker 3: Let me say this, and maybe Obrik is a very

977
00:54:23,360 --> 00:54:26,759
Speaker 3: nice man. He's been honest when he's gotten up there

978
00:54:27,320 --> 00:54:30,160
Speaker 3: for him to say, just a minute ago, good time

979
00:54:30,239 --> 00:54:33,080
Speaker 3: for a bye, good time for a bye? How about

980
00:54:33,080 --> 00:54:35,360
Speaker 3: good time for bye bye? What do you mean a

981
00:54:35,400 --> 00:54:37,719
Speaker 3: good time for a bye? Good?

982
00:54:38,400 --> 00:54:40,600
Speaker 1: We'll take a hard look. Take a hard look at what.

983
00:54:40,760 --> 00:54:43,600
Speaker 1: Take a hard look at the water. Edds okay, because

984
00:54:43,640 --> 00:54:44,480
Speaker 1: you're not gonna.

985
00:54:44,239 --> 00:54:47,279
Speaker 4: Be here next year. Take a hard look at what.

986
00:54:48,160 --> 00:54:52,120
Speaker 4: This is a joke. This is an embarrassment with talent,

987
00:54:52,680 --> 00:54:54,680
Speaker 4: this team, with the talent.

988
00:54:54,400 --> 00:54:54,879
Speaker 3: That it has.

989
00:54:55,080 --> 00:54:56,920
Speaker 4: I mean, I can see to Barthy Adams looking around

990
00:54:56,960 --> 00:54:59,959
Speaker 4: saying what did I get myself into? They come out

991
00:55:00,000 --> 00:55:01,480
Speaker 4: and they go zero for five.

992
00:55:01,840 --> 00:55:04,040
Speaker 3: They don't get a first down in their first five

993
00:55:04,120 --> 00:55:06,760
Speaker 3: touch When did you ever think you'd see Aaron Rodgers

994
00:55:06,760 --> 00:55:09,239
Speaker 3: in the second quarter in a full building where the

995
00:55:09,239 --> 00:55:12,439
Speaker 3: fans are mocking them for getting a first down. That's

996
00:55:12,480 --> 00:55:16,880
Speaker 3: Aaron Rodgers. They're mocking them for getting a first down.

997
00:55:17,440 --> 00:55:20,160
Speaker 1: It's just so classic to me. You can't make up

998
00:55:20,160 --> 00:55:22,840
Speaker 1: the dysfunction going on in New York with the football teams,

999
00:55:23,320 --> 00:55:27,279
Speaker 1: from Daniel Jones to Oldbrick to Woody Johnson to the

1000
00:55:27,320 --> 00:55:32,960
Speaker 1: Saquon Barkley story. It really is. I've said this forever,

1001
00:55:33,280 --> 00:55:37,520
Speaker 1: like the consumer on the West Coast just isn't as angry.

1002
00:55:38,160 --> 00:55:43,200
Speaker 1: Like angry radio doesn't do as well out west. When

1003
00:55:43,239 --> 00:55:47,080
Speaker 1: you suck in Philly, New York, or Boston or Detroit

1004
00:55:47,239 --> 00:55:51,680
Speaker 1: or just some of these Northeast Washington places. You could

1005
00:55:51,800 --> 00:55:55,880
Speaker 1: argue that makes for better radio and more engaged fans,

1006
00:55:56,920 --> 00:55:59,279
Speaker 1: and something I was always jealous of, like when our

1007
00:55:59,320 --> 00:56:02,440
Speaker 1: team sucked when I was doing local radio. When I

1008
00:56:02,440 --> 00:56:04,640
Speaker 1: got into the podcast space talking about the forty nine ers,

1009
00:56:05,040 --> 00:56:09,480
Speaker 1: people just don't care. They become apathetic quick and I think,

1010
00:56:09,600 --> 00:56:12,600
Speaker 1: you know Francesa's and the boys back, you know, in

1011
00:56:12,640 --> 00:56:14,719
Speaker 1: the New York area, when it comes to talking football,

1012
00:56:15,400 --> 00:56:18,359
Speaker 1: this is as good as running the table. They would

1013
00:56:18,480 --> 00:56:21,719
Speaker 1: rather consume this type of content. So it made me laugh.

1014
00:56:22,080 --> 00:56:26,920
Speaker 1: The other thing was, obviously most of these teams have

1015
00:56:27,640 --> 00:56:31,840
Speaker 1: analytical departments now, and I think if you watch football

1016
00:56:31,880 --> 00:56:35,440
Speaker 1: on Sundays even Saturdays, teams are much more inclined to

1017
00:56:35,480 --> 00:56:40,680
Speaker 1: go for it. And I've always said, like most people

1018
00:56:40,680 --> 00:56:45,080
Speaker 1: on their couch in big games, in tight spots want

1019
00:56:45,200 --> 00:56:48,200
Speaker 1: you to go for it, especially like at the you know,

1020
00:56:48,239 --> 00:56:52,520
Speaker 1: at midfield. Now, there are times, you know, like Lafleur yesterday,

1021
00:56:52,560 --> 00:56:54,759
Speaker 1: it's like, bro, just just kick the field goal, Just

1022
00:56:54,840 --> 00:56:57,799
Speaker 1: kick the field goal. I can't quite wrap my head

1023
00:56:57,800 --> 00:57:01,560
Speaker 1: around never kicking field goals anymore. But there was a

1024
00:57:01,600 --> 00:57:05,160
Speaker 1: moment yesterday where Buffalo went for the kill shot. It worked,

1025
00:57:05,280 --> 00:57:07,960
Speaker 1: Josh had one of his iconic plays of his career.

1026
00:57:08,520 --> 00:57:12,319
Speaker 1: Like most human beings sitting on their couch watching the

1027
00:57:12,360 --> 00:57:15,719
Speaker 1: game that know nothing about football besides maybe played in

1028
00:57:15,800 --> 00:57:19,360
Speaker 1: high school, it's like a fucking plumber sells insurance or

1029
00:57:19,400 --> 00:57:21,520
Speaker 1: like owns a deli. It doesn't matter what you do.

1030
00:57:22,240 --> 00:57:23,920
Speaker 1: Kind of are all on the same page about what

1031
00:57:24,000 --> 00:57:27,200
Speaker 1: to do in most situations. So I do feel these

1032
00:57:27,200 --> 00:57:32,360
Speaker 1: analytical departments get a little too much credit. But they

1033
00:57:32,440 --> 00:57:36,600
Speaker 1: are very very aggressive down in the red zone and

1034
00:57:36,960 --> 00:57:40,640
Speaker 1: clearly don't care as much about field goals. But Gruden,

1035
00:57:40,760 --> 00:57:46,080
Speaker 1: I think he has been hired by barstool, and I

1036
00:57:46,160 --> 00:57:48,720
Speaker 1: think he was watching the game on Thursday night when

1037
00:57:48,760 --> 00:57:51,680
Speaker 1: the Eagles played the Commanders with all the barstool guys,

1038
00:57:52,680 --> 00:57:56,760
Speaker 1: and he gave like this reenactment of what used to happen.

1039
00:57:56,840 --> 00:57:59,880
Speaker 1: And I think he's specifically talking about the Raiders. I

1040
00:58:00,200 --> 00:58:03,840
Speaker 1: do think that John. I've watched this like ten times.

1041
00:58:03,840 --> 00:58:05,800
Speaker 1: It just makes me laugh so hard every time I

1042
00:58:05,840 --> 00:58:11,280
Speaker 1: hear them getting so animated toward it. Is a good

1043
00:58:11,320 --> 00:58:16,200
Speaker 1: example of the way most coaches talk to their friends,

1044
00:58:16,720 --> 00:58:20,760
Speaker 1: to their fellow coaches and the non front office people,

1045
00:58:21,640 --> 00:58:24,000
Speaker 1: because I don't think they love it at all. Here's

1046
00:58:24,080 --> 00:58:26,400
Speaker 1: John giving his reenactment of what it was like on

1047
00:58:26,440 --> 00:58:28,400
Speaker 1: game day when the analytical guy would tell him to

1048
00:58:28,400 --> 00:58:30,080
Speaker 1: go for it. Okay.

1049
00:58:30,280 --> 00:58:33,120
Speaker 2: That's where the analytical guy goes, hey, hey, hey, hey, coach,

1050
00:58:33,840 --> 00:58:35,840
Speaker 2: go for it right here, go for it.

1051
00:58:36,280 --> 00:58:39,640
Speaker 3: I'm like, okay, we go for it. We get stuffed.

1052
00:58:39,840 --> 00:58:47,000
Speaker 1: I go, hey, fuck you up there, aggressive, it's twelve

1053
00:58:47,080 --> 00:58:50,280
Speaker 1: to ten man, we get the field goal. Can you

1054
00:58:50,360 --> 00:58:53,520
Speaker 1: imagine when these coaches are together at the combine or

1055
00:58:53,560 --> 00:58:56,960
Speaker 1: owners meetings and they're having a beer together or texting

1056
00:58:57,000 --> 00:59:01,320
Speaker 1: each other about what their owner's analytics forced them to do.

1057
00:59:03,680 --> 00:59:05,360
Speaker 1: I would die to be a fly on the wall

1058
00:59:05,400 --> 00:59:09,640
Speaker 1: for that one. My other take on Gruden is I

1059
00:59:09,720 --> 00:59:11,600
Speaker 1: think it's fair to say you'll probably not coach in

1060
00:59:11,640 --> 00:59:15,360
Speaker 1: the NFL again as a head coach. But I do

1061
00:59:15,440 --> 00:59:20,320
Speaker 1: think him going signing on with Portnoy he is a

1062
00:59:20,400 --> 00:59:24,560
Speaker 1: smart move in terms of resonating with younger people because

1063
00:59:24,560 --> 00:59:27,320
Speaker 1: I think his next move is college football, and I

1064
00:59:27,320 --> 00:59:29,920
Speaker 1: think his next move, whether it's not this offseason, it's

1065
00:59:29,920 --> 00:59:31,680
Speaker 1: hard to tell, like what jobs are going to come

1066
00:59:31,680 --> 00:59:33,560
Speaker 1: open and what jobs are not going to come open,

1067
00:59:34,520 --> 00:59:38,080
Speaker 1: is that I would say programs like Florida Florida State

1068
00:59:39,080 --> 00:59:52,800
Speaker 1: have John Gruden written all over them. In twenty twenty five. Okay,

1069
00:59:52,880 --> 00:59:54,960
Speaker 1: let's do a little thing we call the mailbag at

1070
00:59:55,040 --> 00:59:58,080
Speaker 1: John Middlecoff is the Instagram fire and those dms get

1071
00:59:58,080 --> 01:00:01,320
Speaker 1: your question answer here. Little thing we call the podcast.

1072
01:00:02,360 --> 01:00:08,840
Speaker 1: Let's pull up Instagram and let's start with Scott former

1073
01:00:08,840 --> 01:00:13,680
Speaker 1: sports radio hosts up in Canada. I smile every time

1074
01:00:13,720 --> 01:00:16,720
Speaker 1: I hear you talk about the state of that medium.

1075
01:00:17,280 --> 01:00:19,200
Speaker 1: Unlike you, I've moved out of the industry, but I

1076
01:00:19,240 --> 01:00:22,640
Speaker 1: really enjoy here in the very best honor of the craft,

1077
01:00:22,680 --> 01:00:24,640
Speaker 1: and you certainly do I appreciate the kind of word

1078
01:00:24,680 --> 01:00:29,400
Speaker 1: Scott question as a Niner fan thirty five years. It

1079
01:00:29,480 --> 01:00:33,840
Speaker 1: seems like there are elite defensive coaches Flores, Schwartz and

1080
01:00:33,880 --> 01:00:39,960
Speaker 1: Cleveland Spags in Kansas City, McDonald, Seattle, Baltimore that have

1081
01:00:40,040 --> 01:00:45,800
Speaker 1: figured out Kyle's offense. Flores smothered Slowick a Kyle guy

1082
01:00:45,840 --> 01:00:49,160
Speaker 1: and the Texans early in the season two. Is this

1083
01:00:49,320 --> 01:00:52,560
Speaker 1: a pivotal time in Kyle's ten year aside from some

1084
01:00:52,600 --> 01:00:55,920
Speaker 1: of the players who will soon age out. Is he

1085
01:00:56,000 --> 01:00:59,880
Speaker 1: facing the biggest adjustment of his scheme in his career

1086
01:01:00,080 --> 01:01:05,240
Speaker 1: to date all the best. That's a good question. You know.

1087
01:01:05,320 --> 01:01:09,640
Speaker 1: One thing I've always thought that those coordinators, I would

1088
01:01:09,680 --> 01:01:13,240
Speaker 1: say throw Kyle off his game is when he can't

1089
01:01:13,280 --> 01:01:17,440
Speaker 1: dominate on the ground. Like his pass game to me,

1090
01:01:17,600 --> 01:01:19,720
Speaker 1: is more tied to the run game than any coach

1091
01:01:19,760 --> 01:01:23,280
Speaker 1: in the league. Like you watch Buffalo. They're a better

1092
01:01:23,320 --> 01:01:26,720
Speaker 1: team now because they're running games good, but they can

1093
01:01:26,760 --> 01:01:32,640
Speaker 1: function no problem just slinging the pill around right Rogers Mahomes.

1094
01:01:32,640 --> 01:01:35,520
Speaker 1: When the offensive weapons were better, they can just spread

1095
01:01:35,520 --> 01:01:38,560
Speaker 1: it out and play that way, and their coach is

1096
01:01:38,560 --> 01:01:42,440
Speaker 1: comfortable doing that. Kyle's really not like Kyle wants to

1097
01:01:42,520 --> 01:01:47,400
Speaker 1: rush it. I would say at minimum, you know, in

1098
01:01:47,440 --> 01:01:51,640
Speaker 1: a perfect world, if there are sixty five plays, he'd

1099
01:01:51,680 --> 01:01:56,040
Speaker 1: be like close to forty carries and give or take

1100
01:01:56,080 --> 01:02:00,800
Speaker 1: twenty five attempts from his quarterback. A perfect day would

1101
01:02:00,840 --> 01:02:04,880
Speaker 1: be thirty eight carries between his running backs, which is

1102
01:02:04,920 --> 01:02:07,760
Speaker 1: mainly probably twenty eight for McCaffrey, six to seven for

1103
01:02:07,800 --> 01:02:11,080
Speaker 1: the next guy. A couple quarterback runs, and then Perty

1104
01:02:11,160 --> 01:02:15,040
Speaker 1: would be like, I don't know, twenty one or twenty six,

1105
01:02:16,440 --> 01:02:19,840
Speaker 1: and you know, five to eight of those or those

1106
01:02:19,880 --> 01:02:25,400
Speaker 1: boot action rollouts. How many times I can think of

1107
01:02:25,640 --> 01:02:28,640
Speaker 1: two off the top of my head did he run that?

1108
01:02:28,760 --> 01:02:34,040
Speaker 1: He called the play action boot that. Perty turns around

1109
01:02:34,160 --> 01:02:38,000
Speaker 1: and there's either a defensive end, a linebacker, the nickel corner,

1110
01:02:38,160 --> 01:02:43,240
Speaker 1: whoever that's coming up the field in his face. It's like, guys,

1111
01:02:43,240 --> 01:02:48,000
Speaker 1: they know that's coming. Now doesn't work like it wants

1112
01:02:48,040 --> 01:02:52,000
Speaker 1: to did. When it works, it's awesome, and it feels like,

1113
01:02:52,400 --> 01:02:55,160
Speaker 1: you know, Mike Tyson is prime giving you a jab

1114
01:02:55,200 --> 01:02:57,439
Speaker 1: to the stomach, giving you a right to the chin.

1115
01:02:57,880 --> 01:03:00,400
Speaker 1: You duck, you're getting an uppercut. You have no clue

1116
01:03:00,440 --> 01:03:03,280
Speaker 1: where it's coming from. But yesterday it's not like the

1117
01:03:03,360 --> 01:03:08,480
Speaker 1: run game was a knemic between McCaffrey and Mason. I

1118
01:03:08,480 --> 01:03:10,880
Speaker 1: think they ran for over ninety yards the two of them.

1119
01:03:11,480 --> 01:03:13,840
Speaker 1: But I think Kyle's for his offense to really hum

1120
01:03:13,880 --> 01:03:15,600
Speaker 1: he needs to be like in the one thirty one

1121
01:03:15,720 --> 01:03:19,960
Speaker 1: forties with his running backs and that extra little potent

1122
01:03:20,360 --> 01:03:24,080
Speaker 1: thirty forty yards makes a big difference in his pass calling.

1123
01:03:24,800 --> 01:03:28,000
Speaker 1: And yesterday, like Deebo right now looks terrible. He looks slow.

1124
01:03:29,640 --> 01:03:34,680
Speaker 1: Kittle being injured, and again he was He looked awesome

1125
01:03:35,720 --> 01:03:38,960
Speaker 1: on last Sunday, So then he gets injured. I don't

1126
01:03:38,960 --> 01:03:41,720
Speaker 1: know if he was injured at practice. I didn't even

1127
01:03:41,760 --> 01:03:44,560
Speaker 1: watch just so well, I went on with Colin right

1128
01:03:44,600 --> 01:03:46,480
Speaker 1: after the Niner game ended, so I haven't even seen

1129
01:03:46,560 --> 01:03:49,800
Speaker 1: Kyle's press conference. But got hurt of practice, got hurt

1130
01:03:49,800 --> 01:03:51,919
Speaker 1: at the end of that game. That's a big loss.

1131
01:03:51,920 --> 01:03:54,160
Speaker 1: I mean, Kittle's been awesome this year, so it takes

1132
01:03:54,200 --> 01:03:57,800
Speaker 1: away the middle of the field debo is not a

1133
01:03:57,840 --> 01:04:01,960
Speaker 1: positive and you basically just riding Juwan Jennings in the

1134
01:04:02,000 --> 01:04:05,320
Speaker 1: passing game and Ricky Pearsall, who's a rookie who got

1135
01:04:05,440 --> 01:04:10,160
Speaker 1: shot three months ago. Offense looks terrible. It really does.

1136
01:04:10,800 --> 01:04:12,600
Speaker 1: And the crazy thing, if you told me the offense

1137
01:04:12,600 --> 01:04:15,360
Speaker 1: looks terrible, I'd be like, ah, party regressing. I'm like, no, actually,

1138
01:04:15,360 --> 01:04:18,600
Speaker 1: pretty looks pretty good. I mean it feels like the

1139
01:04:18,680 --> 01:04:23,800
Speaker 1: least of their worries. And I don't know, this is hard.

1140
01:04:24,200 --> 01:04:26,400
Speaker 1: No one acts like they know more football than Kyle,

1141
01:04:26,760 --> 01:04:30,480
Speaker 1: and he gets very defensive sometimes with stuff like that. Like, Kyle,

1142
01:04:30,960 --> 01:04:33,840
Speaker 1: we think you're smart. You've been around football your whole life.

1143
01:04:34,560 --> 01:04:37,880
Speaker 1: It's your life's work. Like, we get it. This offense

1144
01:04:38,000 --> 01:04:41,400
Speaker 1: is your family's baby. I'm all for it. I've seen

1145
01:04:41,440 --> 01:04:44,919
Speaker 1: it work wonders in big games. But like, we got

1146
01:04:44,920 --> 01:04:48,240
Speaker 1: to throw other pitches eventually, once they kind of dial

1147
01:04:48,280 --> 01:04:52,480
Speaker 1: in on your great fastball. I mean, you gotta develop

1148
01:04:52,480 --> 01:04:57,640
Speaker 1: a curveball or something off speed. Hey John, I'm currently

1149
01:04:57,640 --> 01:05:01,560
Speaker 1: watching Bengals and Chargers sent me this this afternoon with

1150
01:05:01,600 --> 01:05:03,800
Speaker 1: six minutes left in the first half. I cannot help,

1151
01:05:03,840 --> 01:05:08,280
Speaker 1: but notice how dialed in Justin Herbert is through the

1152
01:05:08,320 --> 01:05:12,280
Speaker 1: air and with his legs. Collinsworth was like orgasming in

1153
01:05:12,320 --> 01:05:15,360
Speaker 1: the booth watching him play football. I know there are

1154
01:05:15,360 --> 01:05:18,800
Speaker 1: a lot of variables to consider playoff success, weapons, coaching

1155
01:05:18,840 --> 01:05:23,360
Speaker 1: scheme division, but is Herbert better than Herts. Both are

1156
01:05:23,360 --> 01:05:27,080
Speaker 1: big and physical, but Herbert's arm definitely has more juice,

1157
01:05:27,720 --> 01:05:31,360
Speaker 1: in my opinion, is a better all around passer. I

1158
01:05:31,400 --> 01:05:35,240
Speaker 1: will admit Hurts throws a pretty deep ball, but Herbert

1159
01:05:35,320 --> 01:05:37,560
Speaker 1: just seems to be a more complete talent at the position,

1160
01:05:38,400 --> 01:05:41,480
Speaker 1: even when Staley was coaching the Chargers. To even take

1161
01:05:41,520 --> 01:05:44,720
Speaker 1: it a step further, How does Herbert stack up against Burrow?

1162
01:05:46,080 --> 01:05:49,200
Speaker 1: I talked about in the podcast yesterday. There are five

1163
01:05:49,600 --> 01:05:53,600
Speaker 1: elite guys in their prime. Jalen Hurt's a really good player,

1164
01:05:54,600 --> 01:05:56,640
Speaker 1: and clearly you can win a ton of games and

1165
01:05:56,680 --> 01:05:59,120
Speaker 1: get to a Super Bowl him as your quarterback, and

1166
01:05:59,120 --> 01:06:00,720
Speaker 1: if he's on like he go toe to toe with

1167
01:06:00,760 --> 01:06:03,960
Speaker 1: anyone in the league. But there is no GM in

1168
01:06:04,000 --> 01:06:08,720
Speaker 1: the NFL, including Howie Roseman, who would take Jalen Hurts

1169
01:06:08,760 --> 01:06:12,240
Speaker 1: over Justin Herbert. And that's not a criticism of Jalen Hurts.

1170
01:06:12,920 --> 01:06:17,040
Speaker 1: The five guys are pretty simple, self explanatory. Patrick Mahomes,

1171
01:06:17,440 --> 01:06:22,520
Speaker 1: Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson, Joe Burrow and Justin Herbert. Those

1172
01:06:22,560 --> 01:06:25,480
Speaker 1: five guys are in a class of their own. The

1173
01:06:25,520 --> 01:06:28,360
Speaker 1: one older guy, and I mentioned this on Sunday, who

1174
01:06:28,400 --> 01:06:30,720
Speaker 1: can go toe to toe with those guys. Who's just

1175
01:06:31,000 --> 01:06:35,240
Speaker 1: from a different generation is Matt Stafford. Just in terms

1176
01:06:35,320 --> 01:06:39,360
Speaker 1: of like how do you stop this guy? I would

1177
01:06:39,360 --> 01:06:41,280
Speaker 1: say Lamar is the most unique out of the two

1178
01:06:41,320 --> 01:06:44,080
Speaker 1: because he's by far the best runner. But Josh Allen

1179
01:06:44,120 --> 01:06:46,240
Speaker 1: and Herbert are elite runners. I mean, justin Herbert is

1180
01:06:46,240 --> 01:06:50,400
Speaker 1: six foot six, two hundred and forty pounds four point

1181
01:06:50,440 --> 01:06:54,520
Speaker 1: zero student like, he's fucking smart. Herbert is a badass.

1182
01:06:55,560 --> 01:06:59,320
Speaker 1: I'm glad he's got Harbaugh because he was awesome, so

1183
01:06:59,520 --> 01:07:02,080
Speaker 1: was Joe. To me, what makes Joe such a great

1184
01:07:02,120 --> 01:07:05,280
Speaker 1: player is like he does not have Herbert's physical skills.

1185
01:07:05,760 --> 01:07:11,200
Speaker 1: He can't run like Jalen Hurts. Fucking guy can play football.

1186
01:07:11,360 --> 01:07:16,480
Speaker 1: What a great game by Joe Burrow. This is Jordan Schultz.

1187
01:07:17,160 --> 01:07:19,960
Speaker 1: Someone just forwarded me, I guess a tweet he had

1188
01:07:20,440 --> 01:07:24,720
Speaker 1: from an NFCGM. The amount of regret some teams have

1189
01:07:24,920 --> 01:07:27,960
Speaker 1: for not hiring Jim Harbaugh when they had the chance

1190
01:07:28,200 --> 01:07:35,200
Speaker 1: dot dot dot is very real. What I don't understand is,

1191
01:07:35,960 --> 01:07:41,920
Speaker 1: in what world last year, when he clearly was sniffing around,

1192
01:07:42,040 --> 01:07:46,520
Speaker 1: did people think he wouldn't be good? Like? How could

1193
01:07:46,560 --> 01:07:49,000
Speaker 1: anyone come to the conclusion of like, Hey, Jim Harbaugh

1194
01:07:50,600 --> 01:07:52,640
Speaker 1: ready to come back to the National Football League. He's

1195
01:07:52,680 --> 01:07:57,920
Speaker 1: ready to leave Michigan. We need to coach. If I

1196
01:07:57,960 --> 01:07:59,480
Speaker 1: had a coach and he wasn't that good, I would

1197
01:07:59,520 --> 01:08:03,240
Speaker 1: have fired him. I mean the Bears he played, you

1198
01:08:03,360 --> 01:08:07,400
Speaker 1: drafted him the Raiders. He got his coaching start with you.

1199
01:08:07,440 --> 01:08:09,680
Speaker 1: There's a famous picture of him in a Raiders polo.

1200
01:08:10,760 --> 01:08:15,080
Speaker 1: He once knocked on Al Davis's door and said, mister Davis,

1201
01:08:16,280 --> 01:08:19,240
Speaker 1: I'm going to USD. And I looked at him and

1202
01:08:19,280 --> 01:08:21,799
Speaker 1: said you're going to be the head coach at USC

1203
01:08:22,720 --> 01:08:27,760
Speaker 1: and he said no, USD San Diego. Al thought he

1204
01:08:27,800 --> 01:08:36,720
Speaker 1: was on drugs. To me, Jim Harbaugh, I don't see

1205
01:08:36,720 --> 01:08:39,400
Speaker 1: how Mark Davis sleeps well at night. And I get

1206
01:08:39,439 --> 01:08:41,080
Speaker 1: it he was going through a lot. He'd fired a

1207
01:08:41,080 --> 01:08:44,599
Speaker 1: bunch of coaches. But Jim Harbaugh felt like a Raider

1208
01:08:45,560 --> 01:08:49,120
Speaker 1: and the Chargers got him. But if I'm Jim Harbaugh,

1209
01:08:49,479 --> 01:08:53,400
Speaker 1: he by far went to the best spot because they

1210
01:08:53,400 --> 01:08:57,040
Speaker 1: had Justin Herbert. You would take Justin Herbert, like even

1211
01:08:57,080 --> 01:08:59,880
Speaker 1: if the Bears had been interested, I would take the

1212
01:09:00,120 --> 01:09:03,479
Speaker 1: Urder job over the Bears job and a heartbeat love

1213
01:09:03,520 --> 01:09:06,400
Speaker 1: your dedication to the pod as a Chiefs fan, I

1214
01:09:06,439 --> 01:09:11,800
Speaker 1: think we are cooked without Watson at CB two. All

1215
01:09:11,800 --> 01:09:14,040
Speaker 1: our blitzes rely on tighte man coverage, and if the

1216
01:09:14,080 --> 01:09:18,559
Speaker 1: blitz doesn't get home, our backup cannot do a thing.

1217
01:09:19,800 --> 01:09:24,200
Speaker 1: Can it be fixed with, say, Patrick Peterson or Xavian

1218
01:09:24,280 --> 01:09:28,599
Speaker 1: Howard or are we cooked? I would not call Patrick

1219
01:09:28,640 --> 01:09:36,479
Speaker 1: Peterson a man demand corner in twenty twenty four. Zamian Howard,

1220
01:09:37,560 --> 01:09:40,040
Speaker 1: you know, I don't even have a take on that one.

1221
01:09:40,240 --> 01:09:42,520
Speaker 1: I have to text around. I mean, I would imagine,

1222
01:09:43,280 --> 01:09:47,080
Speaker 1: is he like on the street. Where is he currently?

1223
01:09:47,360 --> 01:09:49,519
Speaker 1: I would imagine he must be if you're asking because

1224
01:09:49,520 --> 01:09:55,360
Speaker 1: there's trade deadlines. Xavian Howard, where is he currently? NFL

1225
01:09:55,479 --> 01:10:00,920
Speaker 1: insiders offer details? Oh, he worked out with the Bengals. Yeah. No,

1226
01:10:01,400 --> 01:10:05,479
Speaker 1: those are not fixes. There's nothing much you can do. Man.

1227
01:10:06,600 --> 01:10:08,760
Speaker 1: You guys had a pretty special thing these last couple

1228
01:10:08,720 --> 01:10:14,559
Speaker 1: of years, and you had to make financial decisions about hiring,

1229
01:10:14,960 --> 01:10:17,439
Speaker 1: I mean or extending. You already hired him because you

1230
01:10:17,520 --> 01:10:21,280
Speaker 1: drafted him snead, and once you draft McDuffie like, you

1231
01:10:21,320 --> 01:10:25,519
Speaker 1: can only allocate so much money to your players, so

1232
01:10:25,680 --> 01:10:27,759
Speaker 1: trading him was not easy. There were some question marks

1233
01:10:27,760 --> 01:10:30,080
Speaker 1: with the knee. But you guys had an Elite one

1234
01:10:30,120 --> 01:10:34,240
Speaker 1: two combo and McDuffie's unique because he's such a good

1235
01:10:34,280 --> 01:10:38,280
Speaker 1: slot receiver. But yeah, it's just tough spot. You need

1236
01:10:38,280 --> 01:10:40,760
Speaker 1: the offense to be better. You just need to score

1237
01:10:40,800 --> 01:10:44,439
Speaker 1: more points. I would say that's the main key. There's

1238
01:10:44,479 --> 01:10:47,479
Speaker 1: no fixing adding some sweet man to man corner at

1239
01:10:47,479 --> 01:10:52,759
Speaker 1: this point. Trade Deebo this offseason for peanuts and sign

1240
01:10:53,080 --> 01:10:57,800
Speaker 1: Jennings to a deal. I like Debo, but seems like

1241
01:10:57,800 --> 01:11:02,479
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one was the best he was ever going

1242
01:11:02,520 --> 01:11:05,880
Speaker 1: to be. Well, I got good and bad news for

1243
01:11:05,920 --> 01:11:11,479
Speaker 1: you is that this offseason the forty nine Ers signed

1244
01:11:11,560 --> 01:11:16,719
Speaker 1: Juwan Jennings to a contract. So let me pull this up.

1245
01:11:18,800 --> 01:11:23,240
Speaker 1: On March eleventh, twenty twenty four, the Niners place a

1246
01:11:23,320 --> 01:11:27,400
Speaker 1: tender on Juwan. On May twenty ninth, Jennings signed a

1247
01:11:27,520 --> 01:11:33,120
Speaker 1: two year, fifteen point four million dollar contract. I got

1248
01:11:33,120 --> 01:11:35,280
Speaker 1: some bad news for you. I think they took some

1249
01:11:35,400 --> 01:11:42,720
Speaker 1: of Deebo's money and converted into guaranteed signing bonuses, and

1250
01:11:42,880 --> 01:11:45,320
Speaker 1: I think it's going to be not that they can't

1251
01:11:45,360 --> 01:11:51,840
Speaker 1: trade them, but I think they regret doing that. Niner

1252
01:11:51,880 --> 01:11:54,599
Speaker 1: fan here, I really think the Niners should fire Kyle

1253
01:11:54,880 --> 01:12:01,280
Speaker 1: and go for Ben Jonson or Mike Vrabel. Here's my

1254
01:12:01,400 --> 01:12:04,160
Speaker 1: issue with this talk, and I get people are emotional.

1255
01:12:04,280 --> 01:12:07,760
Speaker 1: You start losing your five and five, sky's falling. The

1256
01:12:07,920 --> 01:12:14,960
Speaker 1: chances that Ben Johnson is seventy five percent of Kyle

1257
01:12:15,000 --> 01:12:19,919
Speaker 1: Shanahan based on the history of the NFL, is slimmed

1258
01:12:19,960 --> 01:12:25,240
Speaker 1: to none. The chances that Ben Johnson can go to

1259
01:12:25,320 --> 01:12:30,519
Speaker 1: a place that just sucks and seven eight years later

1260
01:12:31,040 --> 01:12:35,760
Speaker 1: have been to multiple Super Bowls have I'm pretty sure

1261
01:12:35,840 --> 01:12:45,680
Speaker 1: Kyle has. I think he's six playoff wins. Kyle is

1262
01:12:45,800 --> 01:12:51,960
Speaker 1: eight and four in the postseason. That's two Super Bowl

1263
01:12:51,960 --> 01:12:56,760
Speaker 1: losses and two losses in the conference championship game. I mean,

1264
01:12:57,560 --> 01:13:00,960
Speaker 1: we can beat him up and he's had a rough

1265
01:13:01,040 --> 01:13:06,719
Speaker 1: day and he's had a rough year. But like Mike Vrabel,

1266
01:13:06,760 --> 01:13:09,120
Speaker 1: doesn't boast that resume and you'd be like, oh, well,

1267
01:13:09,200 --> 01:13:13,000
Speaker 1: Kyle's coaching Tom Britt. Now he's coached Jimmy Garoppolo and

1268
01:13:13,040 --> 01:13:18,040
Speaker 1: Brock Purty. That's the games he's like, those playoff games,

1269
01:13:18,080 --> 01:13:19,840
Speaker 1: and he's won. He's won it with those two guys,

1270
01:13:20,520 --> 01:13:25,280
Speaker 1: Brock Party and Jimmy Garoppolo. I think we underestimate when

1271
01:13:25,320 --> 01:13:31,320
Speaker 1: everyone's emotionally pissed off rightfully, so Kyle's pretty freaking good

1272
01:13:32,080 --> 01:13:35,240
Speaker 1: first time messaging. Is The remaining schedule for the top

1273
01:13:35,280 --> 01:13:39,320
Speaker 1: AFC team's low key, very favorable to the Bills. It

1274
01:13:39,360 --> 01:13:41,439
Speaker 1: looks like the only tough team remaining on the Bill

1275
01:13:41,520 --> 01:13:46,640
Speaker 1: schedule is the Lions, which they could easily lose but

1276
01:13:47,520 --> 01:13:50,600
Speaker 1: should be big favorites in every other game. Meanwhile, the

1277
01:13:50,680 --> 01:13:53,559
Speaker 1: Chiefs and the Steelers play each other. The Chiefs still

1278
01:13:53,560 --> 01:13:56,839
Speaker 1: play a pretty good Broncos team, Texans, and the Chargers,

1279
01:13:57,520 --> 01:13:59,880
Speaker 1: while the Steelers also play the Eagles, the Ravens, and

1280
01:14:00,200 --> 01:14:04,120
Speaker 1: the Bengals twice. Things come down to the last week

1281
01:14:04,240 --> 01:14:06,479
Speaker 1: or two. But how likely is the AFC runs through

1282
01:14:06,520 --> 01:14:11,000
Speaker 1: Buffalo off an extra week of rest. It's a good question.

1283
01:14:11,040 --> 01:14:15,200
Speaker 1: I think it's really hard in the NFL, and you're

1284
01:14:15,200 --> 01:14:18,760
Speaker 1: doing it, you know, you feel more confident once we

1285
01:14:18,840 --> 01:14:22,240
Speaker 1: have ten games into the season to just look at

1286
01:14:22,280 --> 01:14:24,200
Speaker 1: the last seven games of a good or bad team

1287
01:14:24,240 --> 01:14:27,360
Speaker 1: and go win win win lost win, or when you

1288
01:14:27,400 --> 01:14:29,960
Speaker 1: look at really bad teams you just go lost loss loss, loss,

1289
01:14:30,000 --> 01:14:33,400
Speaker 1: loss loss. That's not the way it works. You know,

1290
01:14:33,439 --> 01:14:37,240
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a big point of conversation this week

1291
01:14:37,840 --> 01:14:40,280
Speaker 1: and tomorrow when the college football rankings come out, about

1292
01:14:40,320 --> 01:14:44,080
Speaker 1: all these SEC teams that have two losses, someone's gonna

1293
01:14:44,120 --> 01:14:47,360
Speaker 1: have an awful loss. Someone's not even gonna be ten

1294
01:14:47,400 --> 01:14:49,200
Speaker 1: and two because they're gonna be nine to three because

1295
01:14:49,200 --> 01:14:53,559
Speaker 1: they get upset. It's football, man, So I think it's very,

1296
01:14:53,680 --> 01:14:56,400
Speaker 1: very difficult to play that game. If I was a

1297
01:14:56,400 --> 01:15:00,800
Speaker 1: betting man, I'd still bet on the Chiefs because that

1298
01:15:00,960 --> 01:15:05,280
Speaker 1: one extra game. Like the Bills can't screw up in

1299
01:15:05,320 --> 01:15:08,280
Speaker 1: one of their other games. What if Josh just plays

1300
01:15:09,040 --> 01:15:12,240
Speaker 1: worst game of the season against the Patriots and all

1301
01:15:12,240 --> 01:15:15,639
Speaker 1: of a sudden, it's sixteen sixteen headed in the fourth quarter.

1302
01:15:17,160 --> 01:15:20,760
Speaker 1: That's what it's hard about football. It's like you have

1303
01:15:20,800 --> 01:15:22,599
Speaker 1: a bad half, all of a sudden, you're tied late

1304
01:15:22,640 --> 01:15:25,600
Speaker 1: in the game, and then you're running back fumbles. It's like,

1305
01:15:25,640 --> 01:15:29,519
Speaker 1: holy shit, we might lose. That's what makes the sports

1306
01:15:29,520 --> 01:15:34,439
Speaker 1: a fun to talk about because of the uncertainty. Even

1307
01:15:34,479 --> 01:15:36,960
Speaker 1: when you think that it's a lock, someone's gonna win.

1308
01:15:38,200 --> 01:15:42,840
Speaker 1: So I have a hard time playing that game. I

1309
01:15:42,880 --> 01:15:45,400
Speaker 1: would say, if you're looking at the top teams, if

1310
01:15:45,400 --> 01:15:47,880
Speaker 1: I had to rank them, I would still give the

1311
01:15:48,120 --> 01:15:54,800
Speaker 1: edge to Kansas City, but I'd go like sixty. I

1312
01:15:54,800 --> 01:15:56,840
Speaker 1: guess if we're doing a pie of the Bills and

1313
01:15:56,880 --> 01:15:58,880
Speaker 1: the Chiefs, I'd probably go fifty five to forty five.

1314
01:16:00,479 --> 01:16:04,080
Speaker 1: Watching the Chiefs Bills game, did you have the feel

1315
01:16:04,120 --> 01:16:06,839
Speaker 1: that they just have the right offensive personnel to attack

1316
01:16:07,080 --> 01:16:10,519
Speaker 1: the Spagnola defense. When I was watching, it just felt

1317
01:16:10,520 --> 01:16:13,000
Speaker 1: like critical downs. The Bills had answers to the blitz

1318
01:16:13,680 --> 01:16:16,080
Speaker 1: Spags likes to call. They got burned, as well as

1319
01:16:16,120 --> 01:16:20,400
Speaker 1: receivers who could win quick in man demand coverage. The

1320
01:16:20,439 --> 01:16:24,280
Speaker 1: Bills just look more complete offensively this year to the

1321
01:16:24,360 --> 01:16:30,000
Speaker 1: average viewer eyes curious to hear your thoughts, Let's pull

1322
01:16:30,120 --> 01:16:34,000
Speaker 1: up the box score of that game. James Cook has

1323
01:16:34,160 --> 01:16:37,559
Speaker 1: been a game changer for the offense this last year

1324
01:16:37,560 --> 01:16:42,960
Speaker 1: and a half. He is what did he do yesterday?

1325
01:16:43,200 --> 01:16:47,479
Speaker 1: I mean he only had twenty yards, but how many

1326
01:16:47,520 --> 01:16:50,639
Speaker 1: catches he have? He had five catches for seven yards. God,

1327
01:16:50,680 --> 01:16:54,000
Speaker 1: he was not a very productive day. I do think

1328
01:16:54,040 --> 01:16:56,360
Speaker 1: that Khalil Shakir I think I read that he has

1329
01:16:56,400 --> 01:16:59,840
Speaker 1: more yards after the catcher yards after contact than a

1330
01:17:00,360 --> 01:17:04,320
Speaker 1: receiver in the NFL. He's a really good player. Curtis

1331
01:17:04,320 --> 01:17:06,479
Speaker 1: Samuel had a really good game five catches for fifty

1332
01:17:06,520 --> 01:17:08,280
Speaker 1: eight yards in the touchdown. He also had the one

1333
01:17:08,880 --> 01:17:11,160
Speaker 1: the one play where he almost had the one handed catch,

1334
01:17:11,200 --> 01:17:15,519
Speaker 1: which was sweet. Amari had the sweet over his shoulder

1335
01:17:15,560 --> 01:17:19,639
Speaker 1: catch on the right sideline. Dalton Knock's a good player.

1336
01:17:19,640 --> 01:17:22,960
Speaker 1: He had four catches for forty yards. I think the

1337
01:17:23,040 --> 01:17:26,120
Speaker 1: answers I hear what you're saying about guys that can

1338
01:17:26,160 --> 01:17:29,479
Speaker 1: win quick. You know the question earlier. The Chiefs DB's

1339
01:17:29,560 --> 01:17:32,960
Speaker 1: aren't quite as good as last year because Sneed's gone

1340
01:17:32,960 --> 01:17:36,360
Speaker 1: and now Watson's hurt. But I just think Josh is

1341
01:17:37,080 --> 01:17:39,280
Speaker 1: I think Josh is more of their kryptonite in the

1342
01:17:39,360 --> 01:17:41,960
Speaker 1: sense of, like he just plays really well against him,

1343
01:17:42,200 --> 01:17:44,360
Speaker 1: like we have a lot of data, like he's comfortable

1344
01:17:44,400 --> 01:17:47,599
Speaker 1: playing against them. You can't say that about Lamar Jackson.

1345
01:17:48,040 --> 01:17:50,960
Speaker 1: You can't say that about brock Purty. You can't say

1346
01:17:51,080 --> 01:17:53,400
Speaker 1: that about other guys that they've played in these big games.

1347
01:17:54,240 --> 01:17:57,439
Speaker 1: And Josh Allen yesterday twenty seven of forty for two

1348
01:17:57,479 --> 01:18:00,600
Speaker 1: hundred and sixty yards. He was not sad. And he

1349
01:18:00,640 --> 01:18:03,960
Speaker 1: also ran for fifty five yards. I forget the exact

1350
01:18:04,040 --> 01:18:06,760
Speaker 1: number in the playoff game. I think he ran for

1351
01:18:06,800 --> 01:18:10,679
Speaker 1: seventy yards in the games last year the Chiefs won.

1352
01:18:10,840 --> 01:18:14,439
Speaker 1: I guess it was technically this year in the second second,

1353
01:18:16,520 --> 01:18:20,400
Speaker 1: second round, so let me pull the box score on that. Yeah.

1354
01:18:20,439 --> 01:18:23,960
Speaker 1: So he was twelve for fifty five running yesterday and

1355
01:18:24,000 --> 01:18:26,880
Speaker 1: in the divisional round he was twelve for seventy two.

1356
01:18:27,320 --> 01:18:30,599
Speaker 1: So he's throwing. And in the divisional game where they only

1357
01:18:30,640 --> 01:18:32,439
Speaker 1: won by three points, he didn't have as good of

1358
01:18:32,439 --> 01:18:34,080
Speaker 1: a game throwing. He only threw for one hundred and

1359
01:18:34,080 --> 01:18:36,720
Speaker 1: eighty yards. But if he's going to get you an

1360
01:18:36,720 --> 01:18:40,360
Speaker 1: extra seventy yards on the ground, like that's a pretty

1361
01:18:40,360 --> 01:18:46,200
Speaker 1: big swing. I think Josh Allen with his legs is

1362
01:18:46,240 --> 01:18:49,000
Speaker 1: a major problem. Like that's the thing with Lamar in theory,

1363
01:18:49,080 --> 01:18:53,760
Speaker 1: his legs should hurt the Chiefs or the Steelers, but

1364
01:18:53,840 --> 01:18:56,720
Speaker 1: he's not as potent running the ball against them. Yet

1365
01:18:56,760 --> 01:18:59,760
Speaker 1: for some reason, Josh, who some games you watch, is

1366
01:18:59,800 --> 01:19:02,759
Speaker 1: like he doesn't even need to run in these games.

1367
01:19:02,760 --> 01:19:05,680
Speaker 1: When he has to run, he makes huge plays with

1368
