Speaker 1: What is going on, everybody? It's me John Middlecough and

33
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:52,920
Speaker 1: this three out podcast. Hopefully everyone's doing well. Just watch

34
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:55,880
Speaker 1: the Monday night football game and my guy Andy Reid,

35
00:01:56,760 --> 00:02:02,480
Speaker 1: uh Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce, Taylor Whift put a beat

36
00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:07,600
Speaker 1: down that was a one sided affair. To put it mildly,

37
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:12,600
Speaker 1: my Saints futures are not looking good after the last

38
00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:15,360
Speaker 1: couple of weeks. But the Kansasy Chiefs go to five

39
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:19,720
Speaker 1: and zero and look like a juggernaut, and the Saints

40
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:22,799
Speaker 1: got issues. They didn't just lose the game, they lost

41
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:28,040
Speaker 1: their quarterback. And yeah, defense looks kind of average, but

42
00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:30,760
Speaker 1: I thought tonight was a muscle flex with Andy Reid

43
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:34,680
Speaker 1: and he's just got so many pitches and what he

44
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:41,120
Speaker 1: did tonight, I was not shocked. I guess because regardless

45
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:42,880
Speaker 1: who he has to play with, he'll figure something out.

46
00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:45,720
Speaker 1: As long as he's got my homes Kelsey and Chris Jones.

47
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:48,840
Speaker 1: They prove it over and over again. We will also

48
00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 1: do a little penthouse and outhouse. The NFC is getting

49
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:54,560
Speaker 1: a little bleak. We don't have as many teams in

50
00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:57,440
Speaker 1: the penhouse right now in the NFC, I honestly only

51
00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:00,680
Speaker 1: have one true team with a couple other ones kind

52
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:03,399
Speaker 1: of knocking on the door. Who had ever thought Washington

53
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:08,560
Speaker 1: would Washington Ravens this week? That's a fantastic game. We'll

54
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:10,880
Speaker 1: talk about some other stuff too, the Jets, the Aaron

55
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:14,240
Speaker 1: Rodgers situation. I thought we'd do a little segment just

56
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:18,359
Speaker 1: there's just some big picture stories around the NFL and

57
00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:22,640
Speaker 1: just what's next with each one of those situations, like

58
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:25,600
Speaker 1: where do we go from here? So will hit on that.

59
00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:29,480
Speaker 1: I'll do a big, big mail bag on Wednesday. I'm

60
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:33,520
Speaker 1: flying to Nashville Tuesday, so I'll record that probably around

61
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:36,520
Speaker 1: lunchtime before I fly out of here. So fire in

62
00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:38,840
Speaker 1: my DMS if you want to get on that mail

63
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:44,920
Speaker 1: bag for that'll be Wednesday, and subscribe to the podcast

64
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:47,200
Speaker 1: YouTube page. All of our stuffs up there as well.

65
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:49,760
Speaker 1: Other than that, you know, I got to tell you

66
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:53,000
Speaker 1: about my friends, my partners, and the official ticketing app

67
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:57,040
Speaker 1: of this podcast, Game time and if you want to

68
00:03:57,040 --> 00:04:01,920
Speaker 1: go to a game, any game, college, a concert, a

69
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:05,640
Speaker 1: comedy show, get some laughs on. I highly recommend using

70
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:08,400
Speaker 1: these guys because they're the best in the business. You

71
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:12,240
Speaker 1: can search by event, you can search by venue, you

72
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:16,359
Speaker 1: can search by the individual team. Their schedule does not

73
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:19,040
Speaker 1: get any easier. You can go by price point. They

74
00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:22,240
Speaker 1: got flash deals. I was just looking at it yesterday

75
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:27,120
Speaker 1: for my Texas Oklahoma tickets. We'll find out this week

76
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:29,400
Speaker 1: if I'm going to get to see arch Manning, which

77
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:31,400
Speaker 1: I hope I do. But I would imagine if quinn

78
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:33,560
Speaker 1: Ewers can go, they throw them back out there against

79
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:36,800
Speaker 1: the Sooners, who I will be I will be rocking

80
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:40,240
Speaker 1: for very, very fired up, even though I expect Texas

81
00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:42,080
Speaker 1: to dominate. Haven't been to a game in a while,

82
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:43,680

90
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:07,120
Speaker 1: of tonight because I had thought long and hard about

91
00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:10,200
Speaker 1: taking the Saints tonight plus five and a half. And

92
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:13,159
Speaker 1: when push came to shove about twenty minutes before the game,

93
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:19,440
Speaker 1: I'm like, you know, at home, Casey, Monday nights lights

94
00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:22,559
Speaker 1: will be on. They could be playing my high school team.

95
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:26,719
Speaker 1: I just this ain't the spot if they were playing

96
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:29,599
Speaker 1: a ten am kickoff against the Carolina Panthers or the

97
00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:32,600
Speaker 1: Jacksonville Jags at five and oh at six and oh,

98
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:35,479
Speaker 1: they're eventually going to lay an egg, but not in

99
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:38,680
Speaker 1: this spot. And I just watched the Vince McMahon documentary.

100
00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:42,599
Speaker 1: And in the era that I grew up in in

101
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:45,640
Speaker 1: the definitely the mid to late nineties, I got into

102
00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:50,920
Speaker 1: wrestling as a kid, probably Stone Cold, the Rock Undertaker,

103
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:54,520
Speaker 1: Goldberg Generation X as I was kind of in junior

104
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:57,839
Speaker 1: high and watched it a lot, So I really enjoyed

105
00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:00,680
Speaker 1: the documentary. And like most probably kids kids my age

106
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:03,039
Speaker 1: when I was really young, Hulk Hogan was kind of

107
00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:05,520
Speaker 1: a TV star and he was one of the most famous,

108
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:10,560
Speaker 1: I would say, celebrities on the planet in that entire business, Like,

109
00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:12,839
Speaker 1: it gives you such a different view. Obviously there's a

110
00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:16,719
Speaker 1: lot going on in this documentary. Vin Vince got some

111
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:19,719
Speaker 1: shit he's dealing with, and you know, he's obviously not

112
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:22,480
Speaker 1: with the company anymore. But just in terms of the

113
00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:26,680
Speaker 1: business model, it's so predicated on the biggest stars. That's

114
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:29,279
Speaker 1: how the business goes. And it's no different than any

115
00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:33,200
Speaker 1: of these other sports, Like there's a reason Derek Jeter

116
00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:35,560
Speaker 1: or Alex char to Regez or Tiger Woods or Tom

117
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:38,560
Speaker 1: Brady or now Patrick Mahomes, Like that's what pro sports is.

118
00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:44,560
Speaker 1: It's reality television for superstars. And in football it's always

119
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:47,520
Speaker 1: been carried my entire life by the biggest names and

120
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:51,080
Speaker 1: best players, and the chiefs are now kind of fall

121
00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:54,680
Speaker 1: under the umbrella of you put the lights on and

122
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:58,240
Speaker 1: you make the game big, we'll be there and we'll

123
00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:01,720
Speaker 1: be ready. And their head coat you could tell like

124
00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:05,000
Speaker 1: brought a little something extra in the first court because

125
00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:09,159
Speaker 1: tonight they destroyed the Saints. I mean, obviously they doubled

126
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:11,760
Speaker 1: their first downs, They more than doubled their yards. They

127
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:16,000
Speaker 1: basically doubled the time of possession. That was an ass kicking.

128
00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:20,520
Speaker 1: That was driving to the game. And during warm ups,

129
00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:24,400
Speaker 1: Andy Reid looks across and goes, that's Dennis Allen and

130
00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:28,200
Speaker 1: Derek Carr. I am going to embarrass these guys on

131
00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:31,120
Speaker 1: national television in front of twenty million people. And that's

132
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:34,320
Speaker 1: what happened. And to me, one question mark with this

133
00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:36,120
Speaker 1: team has been, like, what are they going to do

134
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:39,960
Speaker 1: a wide receiver? Before I went to work for the Eagles,

135
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:42,840
Speaker 1: and when I got there, they had Jeremy Macklin and

136
00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:46,840
Speaker 1: Deshaun Jackson and Shady McCoy and Brent Sallek like our

137
00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:50,560
Speaker 1: passing game had Lashawn could really catch obviously the two

138
00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:54,080
Speaker 1: wide receivers. But like in Andy, what put Andy on

139
00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:59,080
Speaker 1: the map pre Terrell Owens were teams with wide receivers

140
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:02,440
Speaker 1: that you didn't know that much any scheme. Guys open

141
00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:06,160
Speaker 1: and he had Donovan McNabb, a really good quarterback, not

142
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:09,560
Speaker 1: a Patrick Mahomes, and a really good defense, and they

143
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:12,120
Speaker 1: were consistently knocking on the door of being a Super

144
00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:16,000
Speaker 1: Bowl champ. Then he gets this level of quarterback and

145
00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:18,480
Speaker 1: the rest is history. But he's always hung his hat

146
00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:20,960
Speaker 1: on whether he had Terrell Owens, whether he had to

147
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:24,560
Speaker 1: shun Jackson, whether he had Tyreek Hill, or whether he's

148
00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:28,560
Speaker 1: rolling out four tight ends. As Troy Aikman said in

149
00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:30,320
Speaker 1: the first quarter, he's like, I think Andy has had

150
00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:34,520
Speaker 1: four tight ends on the field, elevating guys from practice squad,

151
00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:38,440
Speaker 1: immediately throwing them the ball. His rookie wide receiver, which

152
00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:41,559
Speaker 1: he's clearly going to be dependent on now that rice

153
00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:44,800
Speaker 1: his knee injuries a little you know, up in the air,

154
00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:48,320
Speaker 1: but I don't expect to see him anytime soon. What

155
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:52,800
Speaker 1: happened to night, Well, they targeted Worthy six times and

156
00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:54,560
Speaker 1: they gave him a carry at the goal line, which

157
00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:58,040
Speaker 1: he scored on like the wildcat with him and Kelsey.

158
00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:02,000
Speaker 1: So as time goes on, get ready, they are going

159
00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:05,640
Speaker 1: to feature that individual more. Travis Kelsey's old, he's washed.

160
00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:09,120
Speaker 1: He doesn't care. Ten targets a night, a bunch of

161
00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:13,560
Speaker 1: catches bunch of yards, looked excellent. But the driver of

162
00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:17,280
Speaker 1: this whole bus. Really it's two sided now because this

163
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:20,360
Speaker 1: is not an offensive team. It's a defensive team, and

164
00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:25,840
Speaker 1: that defensive line, especially the interior of it, was destroying

165
00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:29,560
Speaker 1: the Saints. The guard center combination had no chance to

166
00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:32,600
Speaker 1: block those guys. And I would say they're most like

167
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:37,839
Speaker 1: Pat Mahomes. He is the total showman. Now, he's very

168
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:42,480
Speaker 1: farvy in what Rogers was. For a little while, I'm

169
00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:45,040
Speaker 1: trying to think of he's kind of in his own

170
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:49,000
Speaker 1: little category. Lamar does it. But Lamar, like some of

171
00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:53,079
Speaker 1: his showmanship is just his just incredible athleticism when he's

172
00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:56,560
Speaker 1: running around. But like Patrick, he has a little I

173
00:09:56,559 --> 00:10:00,680
Speaker 1: think he can hot dog while being folk in playing

174
00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:03,520
Speaker 1: at a really high level. It's a unique quality. Very

175
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:07,120
Speaker 1: small percentage of people can do. But I think Chris Jones,

176
00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:10,720
Speaker 1: when you followed them last year, you went, yeah, you know,

177
00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:14,000
Speaker 1: he's picking his spots. And when you think about bright lights,

178
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:15,400
Speaker 1: and I saw it when I lived in the barrier

179
00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:18,120
Speaker 1: with the Kevin Durant Warriors. Well after the first season,

180
00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:20,280
Speaker 1: they're like, yeah, we don't give a shit about any

181
00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:22,880
Speaker 1: of these games. And for the most part they didn't,

182
00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:26,240
Speaker 1: but occasionally you put them on a Saturday night on

183
00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:29,959
Speaker 1: ABC against a big time team. Once the playoffs started,

184
00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:33,880
Speaker 1: that's when they would try. Now, in football, because games

185
00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:37,000
Speaker 1: mean more than these other team sports, you can still

186
00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:40,760
Speaker 1: get up for certain regular season games, and a Monday

187
00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:42,640
Speaker 1: night football game is pretty easy. And you saw Chris

188
00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:45,440
Speaker 1: Jones the night he flipped a switch in that second half.

189
00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:49,400
Speaker 1: He's like, yeah, I'm Chris Jones. Now that Aaron Donald's retired,

190
00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:53,160
Speaker 1: I'm the best interior defensive lineman in the NFL, and

191
00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:55,920
Speaker 1: whenever I want, I will be all over the quarterback.

192
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:58,640
Speaker 1: Oh and I won't just line up over guards and centers.

193
00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:02,680
Speaker 1: Sometimes I'll just go lineup over the tackles when I

194
00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:05,800
Speaker 1: feel like they're gassed or we like our matchup. And

195
00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:11,120
Speaker 1: then their defensive coordinator it doesn't feel currently, we'll see

196
00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:13,360
Speaker 1: Flores has to do it for a long period of time.

197
00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:16,960
Speaker 1: Spack's been doing this right as the Chiefs defensive coordinator

198
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:20,360
Speaker 1: now for whatever five six years, in big games, in

199
00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:23,719
Speaker 1: big spots. When he calls blitzes, there is always a

200
00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:29,600
Speaker 1: guy coming completely untouched, and it's usually a smaller defensive

201
00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:33,200
Speaker 1: back or linebacker that is moving at a high rate

202
00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:34,880
Speaker 1: of speed and is going to hit the quarterback really

203
00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:36,440
Speaker 1: really fast and force him to get rid of the

204
00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:39,520
Speaker 1: ball really quickly. And there was something late in the

205
00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:41,960
Speaker 1: game after, you know, they kind of made it a

206
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:44,600
Speaker 1: close game when it really on the scoreboard, when it

207
00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:48,960
Speaker 1: really wasn't. It's sixteen to seven. Mahomes throws the ball

208
00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:53,160
Speaker 1: on the goal line, hits his fingers, bounces into the air.

209
00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:57,320
Speaker 1: The Taylor Swift guy who actually played for the Kansasye

210
00:11:57,360 --> 00:12:00,840
Speaker 1: Chiefs for four years and his two times Super Bowl champ, Saunders,

211
00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:03,160
Speaker 1: catches it runs. Was one of the cooler plays of

212
00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:06,160
Speaker 1: the night. And then they scored on that drive. I

213
00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:09,520
Speaker 1: mean that was essentially a fourteen point swing because you

214
00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:13,120
Speaker 1: remove that individual moment, the game was a beat down.

215
00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:15,520
Speaker 1: It really was. And it started to meet with the

216
00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:18,960
Speaker 1: head coach who got pretty aggressive with the scheme because

217
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:21,480
Speaker 1: I think the Saints are pretty good on defense and

218
00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:23,560
Speaker 1: he was kind of running circles around him. Then he

219
00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:27,040
Speaker 1: gets Kareem Hunt brings him back. He's mentioned this to

220
00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:29,440
Speaker 1: me before off the record. He's clearly pretty open about

221
00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:32,480
Speaker 1: it now talking with with Troy and Joe about like, yeah,

222
00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:34,760
Speaker 1: Kareem Hunt had a lot of issues, and we weren't

223
00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:37,439
Speaker 1: dealing with him anymore, and we feel like he's matured

224
00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:40,160
Speaker 1: since the last time we essentially just got rid of him.

225
00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:42,520
Speaker 1: He went other places. He's come back. I thought the

226
00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:45,200
Speaker 1: first couple weeks it's like, yeah, I don't really see it.

227
00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:48,360
Speaker 3: And Andy's got a little Belichick in him, Like they'll

228
00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:49,240
Speaker 3: always be.

229
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:52,520
Speaker 1: One guy that you're like how many rosters? I mean,

230
00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:55,079
Speaker 1: like Belichick the Patriots in their dynasty, best team in

231
00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:58,520
Speaker 1: the NFL, and there'd be a dude on the squad

232
00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:01,599
Speaker 1: who would play that like the other teams in the

233
00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:04,160
Speaker 1: NFL would kind of make fun of behind closed doors

234
00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:05,880
Speaker 1: because you couldn't do it publicly because like they're the

235
00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:08,960
Speaker 1: Super Bowl champs, But like, how is Belichick playing with

236
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:10,959
Speaker 1: this guy? And I had a couple people text me

237
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:14,160
Speaker 1: tonight about Steel. Great story, as we found out a

238
00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:17,400
Speaker 1: couple weeks ago his own family did not believe he

239
00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:20,280
Speaker 1: would be in the NFL and scheduled a Sunday wedding

240
00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:22,520
Speaker 1: a year ago. They didn't believe it.

241
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:26,200
Speaker 3: But now he's not exactly the chief starting running back,

242
00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:28,000
Speaker 3: but he sure's help plays a lot and he's always

243
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:29,200
Speaker 3: had a little curve ball in the back of his

244
00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:31,839
Speaker 3: pocket with a guy that most people go are we sure,

245
00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:34,240
Speaker 3: that's a fifty three man roster guy, and he's like

246
00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:36,640
Speaker 3: a starter for his teams who are usually the one

247
00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:38,960
Speaker 3: of if not as they are now the best team

248
00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:39,439
Speaker 3: in the league.

249
00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:43,600
Speaker 1: So nice win for the Chiefs. Muscle flex and you

250
00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:48,000
Speaker 1: build up enough, right, I thought after the last couple

251
00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:50,120
Speaker 1: of games, it was gonna be hard just to maintain this,

252
00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:53,320
Speaker 1: but if their offense is a little more potent. Mahomes

253
00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:56,440
Speaker 1: to me looked much better, and he's looked better as

254
00:13:56,480 --> 00:13:59,319
Speaker 1: the season's gone on, just more comfortable. He looked really

255
00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:02,400
Speaker 1: good tonight. I thought he was he was excellent that

256
00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:04,960
Speaker 1: like to me, Yeah, I know, he didn't throw a touchdown.

257
00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:08,040
Speaker 1: You could throw the box score at me. I thought.

258
00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:11,880
Speaker 1: The difference of him and Derek who you know, Derek's

259
00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:15,480
Speaker 1: average per year on his contract is like thirty eight

260
00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:18,480
Speaker 1: million dollars a year, So it's not like and that's

261
00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:21,240
Speaker 1: the thing with these middle tiered guys. And I've known

262
00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:25,320
Speaker 1: Derek since Fresno State, and he still has some good moments,

263
00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:28,960
Speaker 1: like he made some impressive throws tonight. That interception he

264
00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:32,480
Speaker 1: threw at the beginning of the game is I don't know,

265
00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:35,280
Speaker 1: one of the most I don't even know what the

266
00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:38,920
Speaker 1: correct adjective is to describe it. My jaw hit the floor.

267
00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:41,120
Speaker 1: It's like what was I can't tell you how many

268
00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:43,520
Speaker 1: text messag I'm sure many people did too, like what

269
00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:47,360
Speaker 1: was that? What was he doing? Like, well, it's not

270
00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:49,280
Speaker 1: that big a deal. It's like a fifty yard punt

271
00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:52,160
Speaker 1: that they drove right down the field to scored that

272
00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:54,760
Speaker 1: how the Chiefs took the lead to having nothing and

273
00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:58,040
Speaker 1: this was a game that like, come on, Derek, you

274
00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:00,760
Speaker 1: know your team's got a not actually momentum because you

275
00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:04,120
Speaker 1: lost the last couple of games. Now Atlanta's won, Tampa's

276
00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:06,960
Speaker 1: kind of humming, like, don't have much margin frer here.

277
00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:12,560
Speaker 1: Now obviously he's injured, But you get into business with

278
00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:17,280
Speaker 1: those second to third tier quarterback guys, you better be careful.

279
00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:20,000
Speaker 1: You're really better be careful because if you get the

280
00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:23,880
Speaker 1: wrong one, it can be a problem. And you know,

281
00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:27,400
Speaker 1: Derek's career as we speak right now is kind of

282
00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:31,600
Speaker 1: in no man's land right as a players. As a

283
00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:34,800
Speaker 1: business entity, he's made and continues to make a shitload

284
00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:38,240
Speaker 1: of money. But in terms of listen, as someone who

285
00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:41,320
Speaker 1: was a big believer in the Saints watching him play

286
00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:44,760
Speaker 1: these last couple weeks against better teams, Like, I'm not

287
00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:48,160
Speaker 1: confident their playoff team, that's for sure, And I'm definitely

288
00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:50,880
Speaker 1: not confident. Like listen, I'm not the biggest believer in

289
00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:53,200
Speaker 1: Atlanta coming into the season. But Kirk Cousins a much

290
00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:56,760
Speaker 1: better player Derek. Like, the one thing Derek should be

291
00:15:56,840 --> 00:16:00,400
Speaker 1: able to do that Cousins can't do is Derek's I mean,

292
00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:03,120
Speaker 1: he's getting a little older in age, but like his

293
00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:07,680
Speaker 1: athleticism and ad libability doesn't really exist. That's one thing

294
00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:10,360
Speaker 1: with Mahomes. Sometimes you'll watch him, You'll be like, I

295
00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:12,800
Speaker 1: remember when Mahomes is a really good athlete and he

296
00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:14,720
Speaker 1: won't really do much, and then all of a sudden,

297
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:17,160
Speaker 1: as he did late in the game, he'll do like

298
00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:20,120
Speaker 1: a three sixty juke, make a guy miss, do a

299
00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:23,760
Speaker 1: little Allen Iverson stutter step, scramble to the first down,

300
00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:26,840
Speaker 1: do a superman pose in the air. They're like, oh, yeah,

301
00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:30,000
Speaker 1: this guy. He might not beat Lamar Jackson or Kyler Murray,

302
00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:32,080
Speaker 1: but relative to the rest of the league, I mean,

303
00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:34,080
Speaker 1: this is a big time athlete, and obviously he can

304
00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:36,360
Speaker 1: really throw on the run. He let a couple on

305
00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:40,520
Speaker 1: cork tonight, like, don't forget everybody, everyone, I still got it.

306
00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:43,760
Speaker 1: Sometimes you're watching Derek and he uncorks it. It's like

307
00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:47,360
Speaker 1: a moon ball into the air, Like what is that?

308
00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:51,200
Speaker 1: So you can't run the ball, They're gonna have problems.

309
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:53,320
Speaker 1: They really could run the ball. Their first couple of weeks,

310
00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:56,120
Speaker 1: everyone wanted to make Kubiak the head coach. Are like

311
00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:59,640
Speaker 1: seven different teams. Three weeks later, they have not won

312
00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:02,720
Speaker 1: a game since. And I would imagine most people are

313
00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:07,040
Speaker 1: off the bandwagon. And where I get hesitant and what

314
00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:10,879
Speaker 1: why I understand the people that push back against me

315
00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:13,240
Speaker 1: is ultimately you're betting on Derek Carr and Dennis Allen,

316
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:17,320
Speaker 1: and Derek has I think more moments. Both of them

317
00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:22,000
Speaker 1: have positives, Like Derek had some explosive play tonight. Dennis

318
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:26,199
Speaker 1: Allen's pretty good defensive coordinator, but you just need consistency.

319
00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:29,399
Speaker 1: Derek can never avoid mistakes. He's already made multiple awful

320
00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:33,359
Speaker 1: interceptions this year. And while Dennis is a good defensive coordinator,

321
00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:36,240
Speaker 1: he is the head coach, so and he just doesn't

322
00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:39,159
Speaker 1: win a lot. And I hope we could overcome that

323
00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:44,520
Speaker 1: with talent, But you saw tonight like the Chiefs. It

324
00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:47,920
Speaker 1: was like JV vers Varsity. I would say ninety percent

325
00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:52,040
Speaker 1: of that game felt JV vers Varsity. And I don't

326
00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:54,320
Speaker 1: know if that's more of a slight at the Saints

327
00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:58,960
Speaker 1: or more of a compliment to the Chiefs, because if

328
00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:00,760
Speaker 1: they can like as Jude, you're gonna do what he

329
00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:04,399
Speaker 1: did every night. No, but you know they've won a

330
00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:06,719
Speaker 1: lot of games that guy, and they feel good about

331
00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:10,800
Speaker 1: his rapport with Mahomes and obviously once worthy in Hunt

332
00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:13,000
Speaker 1: and Kelsey it going. It kind of open it up

333
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:15,480
Speaker 1: for other guys. The league might be lucky that Rice

334
00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:17,600
Speaker 1: isn't around, because if they got some of these other

335
00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:19,720
Speaker 1: guys going, they would just kick the shit out of everybody.

336
00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:22,800
Speaker 1: So must be awesome to be a Chiefs fan. It's

337
00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:25,040
Speaker 1: what it probably felt like being a Patriot fan all

338
00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:28,000
Speaker 1: those years. Okay, we'll do a quick penhouse out house here.

339
00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:32,399
Speaker 1: I think the penthouse is relatively small. You know, the

340
00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:35,760
Speaker 1: AFC has some more people living in the penhouse. You

341
00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:38,199
Speaker 1: already know the Chiefs could have lost this game by

342
00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:42,239
Speaker 1: twenty Nothing matters they I'll say this every week. They

343
00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:45,760
Speaker 1: are not leaving the penhouse to the playoff start and

344
00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:48,000
Speaker 1: I don't really expect them to lose in the playoffs either,

345
00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:50,119
Speaker 1: but they feel like they're a lock to be in

346
00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:52,520
Speaker 1: the Penhouse for a while by the end of this year.

347
00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:55,200
Speaker 1: If they win another Super Bowl, they might purchase the

348
00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:58,359
Speaker 1: entire Penhouse, and then it's whether you just want to

349
00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:03,280
Speaker 1: either purchase or leave the apartments in the building from them.

350
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:07,600
Speaker 1: I gotta put Baltimore in right. They've just started ozho

351
00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:10,879
Speaker 1: and two. They were leading by ten against the Raiders.

352
00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:14,120
Speaker 1: If they played the Raiders one hundred times, I think

353
00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:17,560
Speaker 1: that in Baltimore they win ninety nine. That's just the

354
00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:19,960
Speaker 1: one time they don't. The Chiefs game, a lot of

355
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:22,240
Speaker 1: people go is one inch. I thought they got out

356
00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:24,440
Speaker 1: played for a lot of that game. But they should

357
00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:26,800
Speaker 1: have a Raiders win and should be just right there

358
00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:29,440
Speaker 1: right with Kansas City in Houston as a team that

359
00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:33,760
Speaker 1: feels good about their number one overall seed chances. I

360
00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:38,680
Speaker 1: stumbled upon Harbaugh today's press conference. He wasn't as down

361
00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:42,080
Speaker 1: on their defensive performance as a whole, he thought, and

362
00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:47,080
Speaker 1: he's right. He's like Burl was freaking credible. The back

363
00:19:47,119 --> 00:19:50,879
Speaker 1: shoulder or the backfoot throws. He was getting pressured and

364
00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:53,200
Speaker 1: he was still so accurate. The wide receivers made some

365
00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:56,880
Speaker 1: great contested catches, but even he said there were five

366
00:19:57,000 --> 00:20:01,119
Speaker 1: or six that are just unacceptable. And he didn't say this,

367
00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:04,520
Speaker 1: but he essentially said, in a playoff game against Mahomes,

368
00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:08,320
Speaker 1: in a playoff game against whoever is a top quarterback,

369
00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:12,600
Speaker 1: we lose when we screw up those plays. So luckily

370
00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:17,119
Speaker 1: it's only you know, early October, but that's definitely a concern.

371
00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:19,679
Speaker 1: Their run defense is really good. But if you can

372
00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:22,040
Speaker 1: throw on them, I mean, how did the Chiefs beat

373
00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:25,000
Speaker 1: him last year? A couple of drives throwing the ball

374
00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:28,960
Speaker 1: right to Kelsey. And but if Lamar's going to play

375
00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:32,600
Speaker 1: like that, hell, Burrow's going to play like that. Sucks

376
00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:34,439
Speaker 1: to have Burrow just looking like that and be one

377
00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:38,480
Speaker 1: and four. God, that sucks the Bengals job. That'd be

378
00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:42,040
Speaker 1: pretty interesting. If Zach Taylor gets can't which I read

379
00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:44,320
Speaker 1: something on the internet, you can never tell things are

380
00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:47,480
Speaker 1: true or not that he was already being told, which

381
00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:49,520
Speaker 1: I would imagine if they won like four or five

382
00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:53,000
Speaker 1: games in Burrow in the offense looks incredible. Even though

383
00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:55,640
Speaker 1: he's technically the offensive coordinator, he is the head coach

384
00:20:56,320 --> 00:20:59,639
Speaker 1: that they would fire everybody, and that would be a

385
00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:01,159
Speaker 1: job that a lot of people would line up to.

386
00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:03,879
Speaker 1: If I was Belichick, I would I would play some calls.

387
00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:08,400
Speaker 1: Houston has not looked great like they were a team

388
00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:10,040
Speaker 1: that I like to be the number one overall seed.

389
00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:13,280
Speaker 1: They're right there behind Kansas City, play them later this season,

390
00:21:14,119 --> 00:21:16,000
Speaker 1: but the eye test the last couple of weeks has

391
00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:20,200
Speaker 1: been a little off. Lose Nicocollins early in that game,

392
00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:24,040
Speaker 1: after he had a touchdown, he looked good. They just

393
00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:27,200
Speaker 1: don't quite look as crisped as they did the second

394
00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:30,360
Speaker 1: half half of last season. Obviously a lot of pressure,

395
00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:33,920
Speaker 1: a little different vibe playing teams who are gunning for you.

396
00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:36,560
Speaker 1: Two got to sneak up on some people last year.

397
00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:40,520
Speaker 1: Not the case. I'm definitely not bearish on this squad

398
00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:42,719
Speaker 1: at all, but they've earned the right four and one.

399
00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:46,160
Speaker 1: Looked at their schedule, they play the Patriots this week.

400
00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:48,480
Speaker 1: Safe to say they're gonna be five and one. I

401
00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:52,879
Speaker 1: think you're gonna look up and their record is gonna

402
00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:55,840
Speaker 1: be right there with Baltimore and Kansas City, even if

403
00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:59,159
Speaker 1: they don't look as dominant as those two teams. So

404
00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:04,960
Speaker 1: to me, I wouldn't count Houston out Buffalo. I don't

405
00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:06,680
Speaker 1: know what. I don't know if I can include you

406
00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:09,000
Speaker 1: in there that they've been the last couple of weeks, obviously,

407
00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:11,000
Speaker 1: But one thing I had mentioned when I talked to

408
00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:15,000
Speaker 1: Colin about the bad game I had on my TV setup.

409
00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:17,960
Speaker 1: The Raven game was so good that I just gave

410
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:20,280
Speaker 1: it my biggest TV and I gave it the volume,

411
00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:24,400
Speaker 1: and I put the Bills Texans game on its own

412
00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:26,800
Speaker 1: TV as well, but it didn't have any volume. So

413
00:22:27,320 --> 00:22:29,200
Speaker 1: and They're both heating up down the stretch, and I'm

414
00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:32,399
Speaker 1: watching that game and Josh gets crushed and then I

415
00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:34,040
Speaker 1: kind of look up and I see he's going to

416
00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:36,720
Speaker 1: the blue tent, and then you know, Trubisky's coming in.

417
00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:40,760
Speaker 1: I didn't realize. So I heard some people on podcasts say,

418
00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:43,680
Speaker 1: saw the clip today, I mean he got knocked out.

419
00:22:44,119 --> 00:22:47,520
Speaker 1: I mean he was nine nights like that thing. He

420
00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:52,320
Speaker 1: was sleeping. But that was late in the game, so

421
00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:54,200
Speaker 1: I you know, if anyone wants to say, like, you know,

422
00:22:54,560 --> 00:22:56,000
Speaker 1: might have led to his back, like he was bad

423
00:22:56,119 --> 00:22:58,560
Speaker 1: the majority of the game, but he did get KOed

424
00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:01,320
Speaker 1: with whatever less than five minutes to go in the game,

425
00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:04,720
Speaker 1: which you could argue that is on McDermott in that situation.

426
00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:08,040
Speaker 1: Also as the head coach, he might legitimately not know

427
00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:10,480
Speaker 1: that he was out on the field, because a bunch

428
00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:12,600
Speaker 1: of people are saying, does the NFL not cares the

429
00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:16,680
Speaker 1: independent neurosurgeon? What is Listen, I don't know. I can't

430
00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:19,200
Speaker 1: pretend to have been there. But you see the video.

431
00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:22,280
Speaker 1: It's clear he's out. He's out now. I'm not gonna

432
00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:25,159
Speaker 1: go on some moral rant because listen, I would never

433
00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:27,440
Speaker 1: turn off the game, so I'm not gonna pretend like

434
00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:30,119
Speaker 1: this is unacceptable. A lot of people would say that

435
00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:32,879
Speaker 1: you couldn't pay them to turn off the television, So

436
00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:35,359
Speaker 1: I'm not going to pretend to be something I'm not like.

437
00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:37,960
Speaker 1: I'm watching no matter what, and I don't feel bad

438
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:40,640
Speaker 1: about it. And these guys all know what they're doing.

439
00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:43,879
Speaker 1: But clearly like he was out and the rules are

440
00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:46,400
Speaker 1: supposed to be. When you get KOed like that, I'm

441
00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:48,240
Speaker 1: not sure you come back into the game. He was

442
00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:51,399
Speaker 1: ripping some smell Insalts came in and honestly pre and

443
00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:54,720
Speaker 1: post whatever. You know, after getting KOed, he looked the same,

444
00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:57,840
Speaker 1: He wasn't great. They were off, So to me, Buffalo's

445
00:23:57,880 --> 00:24:00,719
Speaker 1: got some problems right now, and they definitely can't afford

446
00:24:01,359 --> 00:24:04,200
Speaker 1: to win games if he's not going to dominate, their

447
00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:06,520
Speaker 1: just team isn't as good. So the AFC has just

448
00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:11,400
Speaker 1: basically got Kansas City Ravens Houston. Sorry, Steelers, like you can't.

449
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:13,720
Speaker 1: I didn't have you in last week, but I'm definitely

450
00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:16,639
Speaker 1: not having you in this week. When Dak throws two picks,

451
00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:20,399
Speaker 1: I'd forgotten this, but I saw a clip today. You

452
00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:26,080
Speaker 1: block the field goal and he fumbled. It's like, how

453
00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:28,480
Speaker 1: do you not win that game? Honestly, how do you

454
00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:31,800
Speaker 1: not win that game? So that's that was an awful

455
00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:36,879
Speaker 1: loss for the Pittsburgh given the turnovers. But is what

456
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:42,920
Speaker 1: it is the NFC. I think there's only one team.

457
00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:47,920
Speaker 1: Obviously it didn't play great against the Jets, but you're

458
00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:51,959
Speaker 1: allowed to have a version of a stinker if you win.

459
00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:54,879
Speaker 1: When you have been beating every other team in the

460
00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:58,640
Speaker 1: first half by like thirty five to seven on average.

461
00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:03,520
Speaker 1: They have been destroying people. They had literally led going

462
00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:06,200
Speaker 1: into the Jets game for all but four minutes of

463
00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:10,359
Speaker 1: their first four games, and it's felt like every single

464
00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:12,840
Speaker 1: week they were up fourteen, twenty one, nothing before you

465
00:25:12,920 --> 00:25:17,000
Speaker 1: even blink. So yeah, they weren't as dominant against the

466
00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:19,639
Speaker 1: Jets as they have been the previous four weeks, but

467
00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:24,760
Speaker 1: you go there kind of kick Aaron Rodgers ass. Justin

468
00:25:24,840 --> 00:25:28,639
Speaker 1: Jefferson was given Sauce Gardner the business hot take. I

469
00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:33,560
Speaker 1: think Sauce a little overrated. He's a good player. He's

470
00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:35,840
Speaker 1: a good player, but sometimes the way he's talked about

471
00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:38,359
Speaker 1: maybe it's a little bit of the region. Being in

472
00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:42,960
Speaker 1: New York, it's like he's Reebis or Dion, like he's

473
00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:46,520
Speaker 1: not even I don't even think it's close who the

474
00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:48,640
Speaker 1: best corner is in the NFL, and it ain't him.

475
00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:51,800
Speaker 1: Now you could make the argument that it's someone else,

476
00:25:51,880 --> 00:25:55,639
Speaker 1: I guess, but to me certain right now in Denver,

477
00:25:56,240 --> 00:25:59,879
Speaker 1: much more fluid athlete, you know, Sauce, anyone that can

478
00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:04,399
Speaker 1: run good routes. If you're a long corner like he is,

479
00:26:04,840 --> 00:26:08,239
Speaker 1: obviously you're gonna give bigger guys trouble because you can,

480
00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:10,359
Speaker 1: or smaller guys if you get up to him on

481
00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:12,920
Speaker 1: the line. But if you get a guy who's also

482
00:26:13,040 --> 00:26:16,480
Speaker 1: big and an elite route runner, you're not as smooth

483
00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:21,360
Speaker 1: or fluid. So Justin Jefferson was open with ease all day,

484
00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:26,120
Speaker 1: just like any high end wide receiver who can run

485
00:26:26,280 --> 00:26:29,800
Speaker 1: routes is gonna get open on that guy. So you

486
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:32,960
Speaker 1: can't just claim like I'm the greatest corner of all

487
00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:36,000
Speaker 1: time run the best corn in the NFL is if

488
00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:39,040
Speaker 1: you go up against another great player who is a

489
00:26:39,119 --> 00:26:41,320
Speaker 1: good route runner and that guy gets open on every

490
00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:44,440
Speaker 1: single route. Obviously, if you're a dB, you're gonna get beat.

491
00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:47,399
Speaker 1: Sometimes Dion gotta beat every once in a while, not often,

492
00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:50,680
Speaker 1: or Revus, but like the like, just as use those

493
00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:55,240
Speaker 1: guys Reevs or Dion or just players of that stature

494
00:26:56,119 --> 00:26:59,720
Speaker 1: are just in a different stratosphere, like this, is he

495
00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:03,399
Speaker 1: a lot o to tell me who's playing? And if

496
00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:06,239
Speaker 1: that's the case, like there was never tell me who

497
00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:09,600
Speaker 1: Dion's playing, It didn't fucking matter. So I just think

498
00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:13,080
Speaker 1: that the hype on Sauce watched him a little this year,

499
00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:16,600
Speaker 1: not acting like the guy's a scrub. He's a high

500
00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:20,000
Speaker 1: end player relative to his position, but he's talked about

501
00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:23,480
Speaker 1: like he's just some first ballot Hall of Fame or

502
00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:26,840
Speaker 1: all time great. I don't know. I would expect more

503
00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:28,520
Speaker 1: if I was the Jets, if that's given the hype,

504
00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:31,920
Speaker 1: or if I was a fan, But so Minnesota and

505
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:34,680
Speaker 1: the only other team. I can't quite put him there yet.

506
00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:39,240
Speaker 1: I can't now. I do think the Bengal win was impressive,

507
00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:43,200
Speaker 1: even if their defense kind of got shredded. Just to

508
00:27:43,320 --> 00:27:46,399
Speaker 1: go on the road in that environment. It's weird. I

509
00:27:46,560 --> 00:27:48,600
Speaker 1: give you. You get credit for a win in the NFL,

510
00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:53,439
Speaker 1: but you play the Browns, like if Deshaun Watson mentally

511
00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:56,200
Speaker 1: checked out, physically checked out the team, how could you

512
00:27:56,280 --> 00:27:59,159
Speaker 1: not quit on the guy? They got issues and Washington

513
00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:02,600
Speaker 1: took care of business. You win this weekend. You play

514
00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:06,399
Speaker 1: the Ravens and you win this weekend, I think we

515
00:28:06,440 --> 00:28:09,760
Speaker 1: would have to consider Washington as like a legit NFC contender.

516
00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:14,680
Speaker 1: And honestly, if you if you won this weekend, you

517
00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:21,360
Speaker 1: convinced me like Washington or Minnesota, like, you know, I'd

518
00:28:21,400 --> 00:28:32,399
Speaker 1: have to think about that one. Okay, I wanted to

519
00:28:32,440 --> 00:28:35,720
Speaker 1: talk about the Jets the other day. You know, like

520
00:28:35,800 --> 00:28:37,920
Speaker 1: a lot of people, you get weird things on your

521
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:43,520
Speaker 1: Instagram feed, and mine revolve around food, football, golf, and

522
00:28:43,640 --> 00:28:48,800
Speaker 1: dogs and basically everything that is associated under that umbrella

523
00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:54,880
Speaker 1: fires into my Instagram algorithm. And this podcast I have

524
00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:58,400
Speaker 1: no clue what it is, but they were It was

525
00:28:58,440 --> 00:29:02,480
Speaker 1: a couple like legendary old school kanasity Chiefs guys, and

526
00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:04,960
Speaker 1: one guy on the podcast the clip that I saw

527
00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:11,200
Speaker 1: was Tim Grunhardt, who was a longtime offensive lineman for

528
00:29:11,320 --> 00:29:15,440
Speaker 1: the Chiefs when the Marty Schottenheimer the nineties and they

529
00:29:15,760 --> 00:29:18,560
Speaker 1: they had really really good teams, and he was talking

530
00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:21,800
Speaker 1: about the two years when they traded. I guess was

531
00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:23,520
Speaker 1: he a free agent? I guess they traded for him.

532
00:29:23,920 --> 00:29:26,080
Speaker 1: Don't quote me on that was. I wasn't even ten

533
00:29:26,160 --> 00:29:28,840
Speaker 1: years old then, but I was just reading on Wiki

534
00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:30,720
Speaker 1: that when they got Joe Montana, he got like a

535
00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:36,160
Speaker 1: three year, whopping ten million dollars total guarantee. I mean,

536
00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:38,400
Speaker 1: this is the most accomplished player in the history of

537
00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:41,400
Speaker 1: the league at the time and got ten million dollars

538
00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:43,560
Speaker 1: over three years. So it is now at the time

539
00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:47,000
Speaker 1: ten million dollars in Kansas City. Obviously, it is a

540
00:29:47,080 --> 00:29:50,720
Speaker 1: lot of money. Money's all relative, but the money that

541
00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:53,280
Speaker 1: the equivalent now like Rogers took a pay cut, remember

542
00:29:53,360 --> 00:29:54,920
Speaker 1: that was a big deal with the Jets, and listen,

543
00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:56,920
Speaker 1: he did not have to do that, but it.

544
00:29:56,960 --> 00:29:58,800
Speaker 3: Was like he gave him back twenty five to thirty

545
00:29:58,880 --> 00:30:01,440
Speaker 3: million from one hundred end of seventy eight.

546
00:30:01,760 --> 00:30:05,920
Speaker 1: It's like it's a different world. But the one thing

547
00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:10,080
Speaker 1: he talked about was the belief and the calmness that

548
00:30:10,280 --> 00:30:13,040
Speaker 1: Joe brought to the table. He just kind of made

549
00:30:13,160 --> 00:30:19,040
Speaker 1: everyone belief because he was easygoing and the nature that

550
00:30:19,120 --> 00:30:21,240
Speaker 1: he had when he got the way he carried himself

551
00:30:21,760 --> 00:30:24,480
Speaker 1: when he would get into the huddle that first year

552
00:30:24,600 --> 00:30:27,800
Speaker 1: and they'd be in tight games. They won the AFC

553
00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:30,960
Speaker 1: West that year. They had not won the division in

554
00:30:31,080 --> 00:30:33,959
Speaker 1: twenty two years. Now. They had had some good teams

555
00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:38,960
Speaker 1: in prior years, but you can't fake one. It's about

556
00:30:39,040 --> 00:30:42,320
Speaker 1: having a resume, and then it's about having a belief.

557
00:30:43,240 --> 00:30:45,200
Speaker 1: And the only way you can get a belief into

558
00:30:45,240 --> 00:30:47,800
Speaker 1: a guy is see him immediately do it. And I

559
00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:50,280
Speaker 1: think one issue for the Jets is like Joe Montana

560
00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:52,560
Speaker 1: got there and they were just immediately good and they

561
00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:55,440
Speaker 1: were already kind of decent, and he took him up

562
00:30:55,440 --> 00:30:59,280
Speaker 1: a level and that first year there they made it

563
00:30:59,320 --> 00:31:02,040
Speaker 1: to the conference. They lost to the Buffalo Bills, who

564
00:31:02,040 --> 00:31:04,000
Speaker 1: would go on to lose whatever their third or fourth

565
00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:07,520
Speaker 1: straight Super Bowl in ninety three. But like the Chiefs,

566
00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:10,080
Speaker 1: I mean, this is a team not winning division, not

567
00:31:10,160 --> 00:31:14,320
Speaker 1: winning playoff games. Joe Montana gets there, they immediately become better,

568
00:31:14,720 --> 00:31:16,040
Speaker 1: and by the end of the season they're in the

569
00:31:16,040 --> 00:31:18,680
Speaker 1: conference championship game, and I think in a playoff game

570
00:31:18,760 --> 00:31:22,200
Speaker 1: he led him back like a historic comeback. At the time,

571
00:31:22,240 --> 00:31:26,560
Speaker 1: they were the Houston Oilers. So last year like this,

572
00:31:26,800 --> 00:31:29,560
Speaker 1: we talk a lot about this with equity, Like Joe

573
00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:32,600
Speaker 1: Montana didn't have any equity with the Chiefs right so

574
00:31:32,680 --> 00:31:34,600
Speaker 1: when he showed up he kind of had to prove

575
00:31:34,640 --> 00:31:36,800
Speaker 1: it right away. It was like, damn, this easy going guy,

576
00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:39,760
Speaker 1: and he's Joe Montana, and he's good, and he's better

577
00:31:39,800 --> 00:31:42,440
Speaker 1: than anything we had. Now, no one will argue that

578
00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:45,800
Speaker 1: Rogers isn't better than anything you had, but every time

579
00:31:45,880 --> 00:31:49,680
Speaker 1: you watch them, it does just feel weird. And at

580
00:31:49,720 --> 00:31:52,160
Speaker 1: this point in time, when you watch Rogers the last

581
00:31:52,240 --> 00:31:57,000
Speaker 1: couple of weeks against good defenses, he does look like

582
00:31:57,080 --> 00:32:00,840
Speaker 1: a shell of his former self. And whether it's just

583
00:32:01,120 --> 00:32:03,160
Speaker 1: his knees getting banged up, he's been rolled up on

584
00:32:03,200 --> 00:32:05,480
Speaker 1: a couple times the last couple weeks. He did not

585
00:32:05,800 --> 00:32:08,920
Speaker 1: move nearly as well as he did in that Patriots game,

586
00:32:09,600 --> 00:32:11,600
Speaker 1: And a couple of weeks later that Patriot game, like

587
00:32:11,640 --> 00:32:15,280
Speaker 1: that team fucking blows. I mean that has a chance

588
00:32:15,360 --> 00:32:18,520
Speaker 1: to be a team, like one of the worst teams

589
00:32:18,640 --> 00:32:21,800
Speaker 1: in like a half decade. If you told me they

590
00:32:21,840 --> 00:32:23,760
Speaker 1: don't win another game at this point in time. And

591
00:32:23,840 --> 00:32:25,840
Speaker 1: I was someone that better on them last week against Miami,

592
00:32:25,920 --> 00:32:29,040
Speaker 1: but it was mainly short ined Miami. Like it's like

593
00:32:29,080 --> 00:32:32,360
Speaker 1: a three win team. But listen, we've see some three

594
00:32:32,440 --> 00:32:34,080
Speaker 1: four win teams, Like, hey, this team has had a

595
00:32:34,120 --> 00:32:36,440
Speaker 1: million injuries, just kind of fell apart, and like, this

596
00:32:36,480 --> 00:32:38,600
Speaker 1: is a three win team, I don't know how they

597
00:32:38,680 --> 00:32:42,760
Speaker 1: won any three games. And you just watch Aaron Rodgers

598
00:32:43,120 --> 00:32:46,200
Speaker 1: and he is not the dominant guy that we just

599
00:32:46,280 --> 00:32:49,160
Speaker 1: saw three four years ago with Matt Lafleur, Like we

600
00:32:49,240 --> 00:32:54,160
Speaker 1: can acknowledge that on his best day now he's like

601
00:32:54,280 --> 00:32:58,080
Speaker 1: the tenth best quarterback. And on his worst day and

602
00:32:58,200 --> 00:33:00,920
Speaker 1: he saw I would say a lot of bad in

603
00:33:01,080 --> 00:33:05,040
Speaker 1: that Vikings game. He's going to turn the ball over.

604
00:33:05,440 --> 00:33:08,760
Speaker 1: He can't control the ball on a pinpoint shoe strink.

605
00:33:09,640 --> 00:33:14,200
Speaker 1: He's never been mister fundamentals. That's never been his thing.

606
00:33:15,400 --> 00:33:18,240
Speaker 1: Of course, not didn't have to be. I went to

607
00:33:18,320 --> 00:33:21,680
Speaker 1: college with some guys that were straight A students. They

608
00:33:21,760 --> 00:33:24,080
Speaker 1: went on to own companies I swear to god they

609
00:33:24,120 --> 00:33:27,320
Speaker 1: didn't study. I'd have to study my ass off to

610
00:33:27,400 --> 00:33:30,960
Speaker 1: hope to get like a C best case scenario B.

611
00:33:32,200 --> 00:33:35,080
Speaker 1: So we're not all on the same level playing field. Well,

612
00:33:35,440 --> 00:33:39,320
Speaker 1: who were two guys that could not circumvent fundamentals in

613
00:33:39,440 --> 00:33:44,360
Speaker 1: practice in training his peers, Tom Brady and Peyton Manning

614
00:33:44,800 --> 00:33:48,640
Speaker 1: because they didn't have the athleticism of Aaron. So they

615
00:33:48,720 --> 00:33:52,960
Speaker 1: played really one way their entire career, within a couple

616
00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:55,600
Speaker 1: of year yard radius in the pocket, because that was

617
00:33:55,680 --> 00:33:58,080
Speaker 1: the only way they could have success. It's the only

618
00:33:58,160 --> 00:34:00,600
Speaker 1: way they knew. They could not scramble. There was a

619
00:34:00,640 --> 00:34:03,560
Speaker 1: play in the Niner game brock Purty scrambles around. They

620
00:34:03,680 --> 00:34:07,280
Speaker 1: clock it. It's like ten seconds, and they're like Tom

621
00:34:07,320 --> 00:34:10,080
Speaker 1: Brady's laughing about it. It's like, I probably never held

622
00:34:10,120 --> 00:34:12,760
Speaker 1: the ball longer in one given play than five seconds,

623
00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:17,120
Speaker 1: maybe because I couldn't. Well, Rogers could get away with it.

624
00:34:17,719 --> 00:34:21,600
Speaker 1: Until now he looks much closer to just an old

625
00:34:21,680 --> 00:34:25,440
Speaker 1: guy playing NFL football. And in the history of my life,

626
00:34:26,120 --> 00:34:29,759
Speaker 1: most athletes that were late thirties early forties, when they

627
00:34:29,960 --> 00:34:33,640
Speaker 1: that were like legends, when they changed teams, it did

628
00:34:33,760 --> 00:34:38,080
Speaker 1: not go well. What Tom Brady did. Going to Tampa

629
00:34:38,480 --> 00:34:41,200
Speaker 1: and resurrecting that place at forty two, forty three years

630
00:34:41,239 --> 00:34:44,920
Speaker 1: old will probably never be seen again. It just will not.

631
00:34:45,880 --> 00:34:48,920
Speaker 3: Because you just watch Stafford looks kind of old now,

632
00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:51,879
Speaker 3: not like in a bad way you'd want to cut

633
00:34:51,960 --> 00:34:53,560
Speaker 3: him or not want him as your quarterback, but like

634
00:34:54,200 --> 00:34:57,640
Speaker 3: you feel as thirty six, thirty seven years old. Aaron Rodgers,

635
00:34:57,719 --> 00:34:59,879
Speaker 3: I mean, honestly, his face, he looks like fifty five

636
00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:00,480
Speaker 3: years old.

637
00:35:01,040 --> 00:35:03,840
Speaker 1: But movement, arm strength not quite as good as it

638
00:35:03,920 --> 00:35:04,759
Speaker 1: was a couple of years ago.

639
00:35:05,239 --> 00:35:08,400
Speaker 3: Still better than anything the Jets have had. But I look,

640
00:35:08,440 --> 00:35:10,239
Speaker 3: because I sometimes I forget. It's like, what was the

641
00:35:10,280 --> 00:35:13,879
Speaker 3: exact trade compensation. Well, they give him a first round

642
00:35:13,920 --> 00:35:16,280
Speaker 3: pick in twenty twenty three, I think it was pick fifteen,

643
00:35:17,360 --> 00:35:21,040
Speaker 3: and then then pick the following year was a second rounder,

644
00:35:21,600 --> 00:35:24,200
Speaker 3: and obviously it was contingent. If he played more, I

645
00:35:24,239 --> 00:35:27,839
Speaker 3: think than sixty five percent of the snaps, it would

646
00:35:27,880 --> 00:35:29,560
Speaker 3: have kicked to a first rounder.

647
00:35:29,800 --> 00:35:32,560
Speaker 1: Well, he rips his achilles four or five plays into

648
00:35:32,600 --> 00:35:35,799
Speaker 1: the season, it ends up being like pick forty one,

649
00:35:35,880 --> 00:35:38,960
Speaker 1: which I look today the Packers actually used that pick

650
00:35:39,080 --> 00:35:42,640
Speaker 1: trade it back. But that's beside the point. You trade

651
00:35:42,640 --> 00:35:44,359
Speaker 1: it a lot for a guy thirty nine years old

652
00:35:44,600 --> 00:35:47,760
Speaker 1: whose resume speaks for itself. Is one of the best

653
00:35:47,800 --> 00:35:50,680
Speaker 1: players in any sport I've ever watched, and we can

654
00:35:50,840 --> 00:35:54,160
Speaker 1: argue all day long. He'd let you down. True, sometimes

655
00:35:54,200 --> 00:35:57,040
Speaker 1: he didn't play great in the playoffs, but sometimes he

656
00:35:57,080 --> 00:36:00,440
Speaker 1: also did in his defense was awful. But the guy

657
00:36:00,520 --> 00:36:03,399
Speaker 1: that I'm witnessing now, I've been watching this guy since

658
00:36:03,400 --> 00:36:07,000
Speaker 1: I was in college at col I mean, I went

659
00:36:07,040 --> 00:36:10,480
Speaker 1: to a couple of his games in college, and obviously

660
00:36:10,719 --> 00:36:12,600
Speaker 1: I didn't think he was gonna become what he became.

661
00:36:12,800 --> 00:36:15,160
Speaker 1: And then once he became it, I've seen him live

662
00:36:15,320 --> 00:36:17,840
Speaker 1: I don't know three four times in his heyday. I

663
00:36:17,960 --> 00:36:19,959
Speaker 1: was with the Eagles the year they won the Super Bowl.

664
00:36:20,360 --> 00:36:22,959
Speaker 1: They played us in the first round. I think James

665
00:36:23,040 --> 00:36:25,879
Speaker 1: Jones had three touchdowns in that game. That was as

666
00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:29,200
Speaker 1: Rogers was coming on the scene, like hey, Tom and Peyton,

667
00:36:29,840 --> 00:36:32,360
Speaker 1: I'm coming now. It turns out that would be the

668
00:36:32,400 --> 00:36:35,960
Speaker 1: only Super Bowl he ever won. But I actually thought

669
00:36:36,040 --> 00:36:38,200
Speaker 1: a couple of years ago on one of those I

670
00:36:38,239 --> 00:36:40,319
Speaker 1: don't know if his first MVP season or second MVP

671
00:36:40,440 --> 00:36:43,960
Speaker 1: season might have been the year they lost to Brady Honestly,

672
00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:45,759
Speaker 1: it might have been the following year when somehow the

673
00:36:45,880 --> 00:36:48,600
Speaker 1: Niners beat him at home. I thought one of those

674
00:36:48,640 --> 00:36:50,960
Speaker 1: two years they were gonna win the Super Bowl. Clearly

675
00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:55,160
Speaker 1: that didn't play out that way. But regardless, that guy,

676
00:36:55,960 --> 00:36:59,040
Speaker 1: the guy from the McCarthy era, is so long gone.

677
00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:03,640
Speaker 1: And then the older guy that resurrected his career with

678
00:37:03,800 --> 00:37:08,080
Speaker 1: Lafleur in kind of the Hybridge Shanahan offense, and he

679
00:37:08,160 --> 00:37:10,400
Speaker 1: still allowed him to do the shotguns spread it out,

680
00:37:10,440 --> 00:37:13,200
Speaker 1: which he likes to do. I thought it had mastered

681
00:37:13,280 --> 00:37:17,960
Speaker 1: the position because he was so smart, he was so accurate,

682
00:37:18,560 --> 00:37:21,560
Speaker 1: but unlike the pocket quarterbacks that like, he could really

683
00:37:21,640 --> 00:37:26,080
Speaker 1: move still. And it just kind of feels gone. It

684
00:37:26,239 --> 00:37:31,080
Speaker 1: really does. And the Jets organization has to be on

685
00:37:31,160 --> 00:37:33,120
Speaker 1: the list of bottom three or four. I don't care

686
00:37:33,200 --> 00:37:35,600
Speaker 1: who the coach is, I don't care who the GM is.

687
00:37:36,880 --> 00:37:41,080
Speaker 1: In tough situations, and this is a tough situation, I'm

688
00:37:41,120 --> 00:37:44,480
Speaker 1: going to bet against you, and anyone with a brain

689
00:37:44,760 --> 00:37:48,719
Speaker 1: or common sense should why because history's on our side.

690
00:37:50,040 --> 00:37:53,480
Speaker 1: So it's just hard to overcome the Jets. A lot

691
00:37:53,560 --> 00:37:56,560
Speaker 1: of memes are out there, like you're telling me this

692
00:37:56,680 --> 00:37:59,160
Speaker 1: guy tore his Achilles laid on the ground, lost an

693
00:37:59,280 --> 00:38:03,440
Speaker 1: entire season, and basically said can't wait to come back

694
00:38:03,520 --> 00:38:07,719
Speaker 1: to the Jets. Like this guy chose the Jets and

695
00:38:08,640 --> 00:38:12,920
Speaker 1: Robert Sala Joe Douglas. You can remove names put in

696
00:38:13,120 --> 00:38:17,640
Speaker 1: they fire both those guys add new names. I would

697
00:38:17,640 --> 00:38:20,239
Speaker 1: say history shows us that it's usually not gonna go well.

698
00:38:20,800 --> 00:38:25,680
Speaker 1: So Aaron Rodgers not the same guy. But this situation

699
00:38:26,120 --> 00:38:30,359
Speaker 1: is just historically pretty consistent. Most things do not turn

700
00:38:30,440 --> 00:38:34,400
Speaker 1: out to be Tom Brady or Joe Montana most of

701
00:38:34,480 --> 00:38:39,759
Speaker 1: the time in pro sports, basketball, baseball, and football. With

702
00:38:39,920 --> 00:38:43,640
Speaker 1: these guys basically forty years old, it looks like this.

703
00:38:53,320 --> 00:38:56,759
Speaker 1: I wanted to play little game. We're gonna call it

704
00:38:56,840 --> 00:39:00,520
Speaker 1: What's Next, and then I'll just insert you know whoever,

705
00:39:00,760 --> 00:39:05,080
Speaker 1: a team, a player, a situation because there's so much

706
00:39:05,160 --> 00:39:06,960
Speaker 1: going on. It's like I don't want to just do

707
00:39:07,080 --> 00:39:10,200
Speaker 1: like individuals, like, let's let's just play a little game.

708
00:39:10,719 --> 00:39:14,880
Speaker 1: So this will just be what's next for the Browns

709
00:39:15,360 --> 00:39:17,680
Speaker 1: and Deshaun Watson, And I'll rattle off a bunch of

710
00:39:17,760 --> 00:39:19,680
Speaker 1: other ones too, But I wanted to start with this

711
00:39:20,560 --> 00:39:23,920
Speaker 1: what is next for Deshaun Watson the Browns first, and foremost,

712
00:39:24,880 --> 00:39:29,319
Speaker 1: this is easily the worst situation in the league when

713
00:39:29,360 --> 00:39:34,840
Speaker 1: you factor in the contract, the coach now being forced

714
00:39:34,880 --> 00:39:40,200
Speaker 1: to lie the quarterback who has this look like he's

715
00:39:40,280 --> 00:39:44,040
Speaker 1: just kind of dead inside when you see his eyes right,

716
00:39:44,520 --> 00:39:47,719
Speaker 1: and then as an individual player, he is just horrendous.

717
00:39:48,840 --> 00:39:52,640
Speaker 1: So I even saw some new stats today. Obviously his

718
00:39:53,600 --> 00:39:56,600
Speaker 1: him against the Blitz is like historically poor, since like

719
00:39:56,640 --> 00:40:00,200
Speaker 1: the nineteen seventy Merger, his eye test of just when

720
00:40:00,239 --> 00:40:04,200
Speaker 1: he scrambles around and just ends up in these hillacious

721
00:40:04,280 --> 00:40:07,680
Speaker 1: sacks and unless it's a dink or dunk, there is

722
00:40:07,800 --> 00:40:11,600
Speaker 1: nothing there. And you watch some of these great athlete

723
00:40:11,840 --> 00:40:14,520
Speaker 1: and all these guys are different from each other, but

724
00:40:14,719 --> 00:40:19,240
Speaker 1: he was in the mold of Russell, Wilson, Kyler, Murray

725
00:40:20,120 --> 00:40:24,480
Speaker 1: Lamars was always better than even Houston DeShawn but just

726
00:40:25,000 --> 00:40:27,360
Speaker 1: a guy that can really scramble around, move around and

727
00:40:27,480 --> 00:40:31,239
Speaker 1: be explosive down the field. All those guys like the

728
00:40:31,360 --> 00:40:33,759
Speaker 1: Seattle version of Russell, not the guy we see now.

729
00:40:33,840 --> 00:40:35,279
Speaker 1: We don't actually see a guy now because he's on

730
00:40:35,320 --> 00:40:38,120
Speaker 1: the sideline, which is like not quite sure what's going on.

731
00:40:38,200 --> 00:40:39,720
Speaker 1: And they said they're going to go with a quarterbacks,

732
00:40:39,719 --> 00:40:43,239
Speaker 1: which I would not under no circumstances, I will just

733
00:40:43,320 --> 00:40:45,560
Speaker 1: go down with Fields. I will not have Russell Wilson,

734
00:40:45,640 --> 00:40:48,640
Speaker 1: Dnking and duncan me to losses. At least there's always

735
00:40:48,680 --> 00:40:51,160
Speaker 1: a chance justin Fields can just take off or hit

736
00:40:51,239 --> 00:40:54,200
Speaker 1: a deep bump. But that's a conversation for another day.

737
00:40:56,160 --> 00:40:58,640
Speaker 1: But what is next for the situation? Because you can't

738
00:40:58,680 --> 00:41:03,160
Speaker 1: cut him, Let's just hypothetically said they cut him tomorrow,

739
00:41:03,400 --> 00:41:05,520
Speaker 1: which is not gonna happen, but let's just use that

740
00:41:05,520 --> 00:41:10,239
Speaker 1: as an example. I thought about this today. I don't

741
00:41:10,239 --> 00:41:13,080
Speaker 1: think he'd ever play in the NFL again. He'd be

742
00:41:13,160 --> 00:41:15,960
Speaker 1: like John, how can you say that? We have seen

743
00:41:16,120 --> 00:41:21,000
Speaker 1: so many Yeah, good players who had questionable off the

744
00:41:21,120 --> 00:41:26,640
Speaker 1: field situations get second chances. That has always happened, and

745
00:41:26,760 --> 00:41:30,680
Speaker 1: guess what, it always will happen. This capitalism and the

746
00:41:30,800 --> 00:41:33,920
Speaker 1: best of the best. If you're better than your peers,

747
00:41:34,520 --> 00:41:38,360
Speaker 1: we will overlook your problems because I think Doc Rivers

748
00:41:38,360 --> 00:41:42,160
Speaker 1: said this one time, if your production outweighs your problems,

749
00:41:42,920 --> 00:41:46,080
Speaker 1: we'll make a spot for you. Well, this guy's production

750
00:41:47,160 --> 00:41:50,920
Speaker 1: literally outweighs nobody. He's the worst player in the NFL.

751
00:41:51,840 --> 00:41:55,040
Speaker 1: I feel pretty confident saying that, like Trevor Lawrence has

752
00:41:55,239 --> 00:41:58,319
Speaker 1: played bad and has not had a good season at all.

753
00:41:59,160 --> 00:42:01,719
Speaker 1: There is not a gym manager in the NFL. There

754
00:42:01,800 --> 00:42:04,120
Speaker 1: is not a head coach in the NFL. There is

755
00:42:04,200 --> 00:42:07,000
Speaker 1: not a fan in the NFL who would take Deshaun

756
00:42:07,040 --> 00:42:10,359
Speaker 1: Watson over Trevor Lawrens. Anthony Richson, who will get into

757
00:42:10,440 --> 00:42:15,279
Speaker 1: in a minute, is pretty big roller coaster, right, you

758
00:42:15,400 --> 00:42:19,560
Speaker 1: would take working with that, and obviously he's a good guy,

759
00:42:20,000 --> 00:42:23,320
Speaker 1: no issues over whatever the hell Deshaun Watson is. I

760
00:42:23,440 --> 00:42:27,719
Speaker 1: do feel very strongly if this offseason they were just

761
00:42:27,800 --> 00:42:31,600
Speaker 1: to bite the bullet and cut him because the trademarket

762
00:42:31,719 --> 00:42:34,680
Speaker 1: obviously is non existent. I don't think we would ever

763
00:42:34,800 --> 00:42:38,640
Speaker 1: see this guy play in the NFL again. So think

764
00:42:38,680 --> 00:42:41,400
Speaker 1: about when you think where is this team gonna go?

765
00:42:42,320 --> 00:42:44,959
Speaker 1: They are forced to ride it out, who knows, maybe

766
00:42:45,239 --> 00:42:49,320
Speaker 1: two more years. I don't see it going past this

767
00:42:49,520 --> 00:42:51,719
Speaker 1: year and next if he continues to play like this,

768
00:42:52,160 --> 00:42:54,359
Speaker 1: But I do see a scenario where they just roll

769
00:42:54,400 --> 00:42:56,040
Speaker 1: this out for the next couple of years, given what

770
00:42:56,120 --> 00:43:01,200
Speaker 1: they're paying him for a player I'm not talking a starter.

771
00:43:01,400 --> 00:43:05,160
Speaker 1: I'm talking being on another roster would not be on

772
00:43:05,320 --> 00:43:09,080
Speaker 1: another roster in the National Football League. I saw some

773
00:43:09,160 --> 00:43:13,319
Speaker 1: people today because Kevin Stefanski said after the game, he's

774
00:43:13,360 --> 00:43:17,080
Speaker 1: our quarterback, but basically, you know, God is back, like

775
00:43:17,320 --> 00:43:20,120
Speaker 1: we're not benching them, and that was a huge hoopla

776
00:43:20,200 --> 00:43:23,200
Speaker 1: on the internet. Put in jameis winz, it can't be

777
00:43:23,360 --> 00:43:27,439
Speaker 1: worse than that, and that I agree with, It's impossible

778
00:43:27,480 --> 00:43:29,799
Speaker 1: to be worse than this, cause you get this guy

779
00:43:30,480 --> 00:43:33,800
Speaker 1: who has lost all of his confidence, who clearly no

780
00:43:33,920 --> 00:43:37,680
Speaker 1: longer looks like a good athlete, whose arm looks dramatically

781
00:43:37,800 --> 00:43:41,840
Speaker 1: worse than what once did, and he is just running

782
00:43:41,880 --> 00:43:43,520
Speaker 1: back there like a chicken with his head cut off,

783
00:43:43,640 --> 00:43:47,280
Speaker 1: just running into defensive linemen getting hit like a pinball

784
00:43:47,440 --> 00:43:51,600
Speaker 1: like it's an awful watch. It really is. And then

785
00:43:51,640 --> 00:43:55,800
Speaker 1: you factor in the toxicity of his brand, given what

786
00:43:55,960 --> 00:44:00,640
Speaker 1: he stands for outside of the NFL that I just

787
00:44:00,760 --> 00:44:04,920
Speaker 1: don't see a solution here. And I can't imagine being

788
00:44:04,960 --> 00:44:07,680
Speaker 1: a Browns fan going, We're gonna be stuck with this

789
00:44:07,760 --> 00:44:13,040
Speaker 1: guy for whatever twenty five more games that we have

790
00:44:13,200 --> 00:44:17,239
Speaker 1: to watch him. But why would it get better once

791
00:44:17,320 --> 00:44:23,240
Speaker 1: this situation ends. Your owner has proven to be completely nuts,

792
00:44:24,239 --> 00:44:27,839
Speaker 1: he really has, Like Deshaun Watson is on your team,

793
00:44:29,480 --> 00:44:32,480
Speaker 1: because he simply got involved. He was never going to

794
00:44:32,520 --> 00:44:35,400
Speaker 1: be a Brown ever, did not want to come there,

795
00:44:35,920 --> 00:44:40,120
Speaker 1: and he said, we will fully guarantee every penny, and

796
00:44:40,280 --> 00:44:43,520
Speaker 1: David malgetto one of the only guys who will support

797
00:44:44,000 --> 00:44:48,080
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson publicly and probably privately. Of course he would.

798
00:44:48,360 --> 00:44:50,839
Speaker 1: He's the agent. He's got his hand in the cookie

799
00:44:50,920 --> 00:44:53,160
Speaker 1: jar on that deal. If I was him, I would too.

800
00:44:53,920 --> 00:44:56,680
Speaker 1: That's most business. You look past shit when you're profiting

801
00:44:56,760 --> 00:44:59,320
Speaker 1: from it, and that's what he does here. But this

802
00:44:59,440 --> 00:45:02,960
Speaker 1: situation is really, really ugly, and you can't convince me.

803
00:45:03,080 --> 00:45:06,719
Speaker 1: Kevin Stefanski's just some feel age idiot. Now. I watched

804
00:45:06,800 --> 00:45:09,239
Speaker 1: him last year with Joe Flacco, and there's a reason

805
00:45:09,280 --> 00:45:11,239
Speaker 1: they didn't call Joe Flacco who will get to next?

806
00:45:12,080 --> 00:45:15,640
Speaker 1: Because you couldn't the owner. I'm giving this guy all

807
00:45:15,680 --> 00:45:17,720
Speaker 1: the money if he wants to get rid of the coordinator,

808
00:45:17,760 --> 00:45:20,320
Speaker 1: if he wants to, I don't want Joe Flacco around.

809
00:45:20,400 --> 00:45:24,600
Speaker 1: I don't even want to risk the chance that. Imagine

810
00:45:24,600 --> 00:45:28,040
Speaker 1: if Joe Flacco was the backup right now. It's one

811
00:45:28,080 --> 00:45:30,719
Speaker 1: thing with Jameis Winston. Put Jamis Winston in. A lot

812
00:45:30,760 --> 00:45:32,960
Speaker 1: of us could argue, like it's James Winston even any good.

813
00:45:34,640 --> 00:45:37,160
Speaker 1: I'm sure he's better than Deshaun Watson. That's a low bar.

814
00:45:37,760 --> 00:45:40,920
Speaker 1: But if Joe Flacco was on the team, there wouldn't

815
00:45:40,960 --> 00:45:45,799
Speaker 1: be one fan who essentially is your consumer, because without them,

816
00:45:46,360 --> 00:45:49,320
Speaker 1: none of this exists. That two hundred and thirty million

817
00:45:49,360 --> 00:45:53,080
Speaker 1: dollars doesn't just come from the sky, come from the

818
00:45:53,160 --> 00:45:56,080
Speaker 1: television networks who get it because of all these people

819
00:45:56,160 --> 00:45:59,040
Speaker 1: willing to watch these games. The Browns have a big

820
00:45:59,120 --> 00:46:03,160
Speaker 1: fan base, and if they're watching this, it would be

821
00:46:03,280 --> 00:46:06,880
Speaker 1: a mutiny in bre Ohio if they would not put

822
00:46:06,960 --> 00:46:09,080
Speaker 1: Joe Flacco in. So, if I'm gonna I might even

823
00:46:09,080 --> 00:46:11,960
Speaker 1: give them credit on this one. You could not bring

824
00:46:12,080 --> 00:46:15,040
Speaker 1: Joe Flacco because we all saw this coming. We all did.

825
00:46:15,120 --> 00:46:17,960
Speaker 1: So when you hear Joe Flacco tell I don't even

826
00:46:18,040 --> 00:46:21,160
Speaker 1: know who it was last week, Albert Breer or McAfee, like, yeah,

827
00:46:21,160 --> 00:46:23,840
Speaker 1: they didn't call me. But he's like, nothing really surprises me.

828
00:46:23,960 --> 00:46:28,399
Speaker 1: He's being nice. He knows why. He knows why because

829
00:46:28,440 --> 00:46:32,080
Speaker 1: I'm watching what's next for Joe Flacco in the Indianapolis Colts.

830
00:46:33,920 --> 00:46:37,160
Speaker 1: Because you watch them and you watch him and you

831
00:46:37,320 --> 00:46:42,200
Speaker 1: go he's the best quarterback on the team. He's really

832
00:46:42,200 --> 00:46:44,600
Speaker 1: the best quarterback on multiple teams. He's the best quarterback

833
00:46:44,640 --> 00:46:47,600
Speaker 1: on the Colts. He's the best quarterback on the Cleveland Browns.

834
00:46:48,000 --> 00:46:49,360
Speaker 1: This is a guy that everyone was making fun of

835
00:46:49,440 --> 00:46:51,840
Speaker 1: three or four years ago, and now he's clearly the

836
00:46:51,920 --> 00:46:55,920
Speaker 1: best player for like several teams in the NFL. So

837
00:46:56,360 --> 00:46:59,960
Speaker 1: I do understand like the difference of the The Show

838
00:47:00,120 --> 00:47:05,040
Speaker 1: on Situation and Anthony Richardson. You take this kid forth overall,

839
00:47:05,800 --> 00:47:08,920
Speaker 1: and part of drafting him high was Listen, there's a

840
00:47:09,040 --> 00:47:11,560
Speaker 1: lot here to work with. But we gotta work with this.

841
00:47:11,760 --> 00:47:15,359
Speaker 1: We gotta mold it, we gotta figure it out. There's

842
00:47:15,440 --> 00:47:18,440
Speaker 1: something there. But it's this isn't just some plug and

843
00:47:18,520 --> 00:47:21,440
Speaker 1: play scenario, right He wasn't gonna look like the way

844
00:47:21,560 --> 00:47:25,279
Speaker 1: Jayden looks right now, or even Trevor Lawrence earlier on

845
00:47:25,520 --> 00:47:27,759
Speaker 1: in his career, Jared Goff, or just some of these

846
00:47:27,840 --> 00:47:30,160
Speaker 1: quarterbacks that, like, even when they're kind of shitty, it's like, ah,

847
00:47:30,200 --> 00:47:33,239
Speaker 1: I can kind of see that Anthony Richardson is a

848
00:47:33,520 --> 00:47:37,520
Speaker 1: is a I think he has the lowest QBR florio,

849
00:47:37,600 --> 00:47:41,320
Speaker 1: which sounds crazy because I thought DeShawn did. But so

850
00:47:41,520 --> 00:47:43,719
Speaker 1: far now he's only played a couple of games because

851
00:47:43,719 --> 00:47:46,640
Speaker 1: of injuries, and Flacco has only played two games. Obviously,

852
00:47:46,760 --> 00:47:50,480
Speaker 1: replacing him has the highest Flacco just looks good, he

853
00:47:50,640 --> 00:47:56,080
Speaker 1: really does. And I understand putting Anthony Richardson back into

854
00:47:56,120 --> 00:47:58,800
Speaker 1: the game, and I think it would be easier to

855
00:47:59,040 --> 00:48:02,560
Speaker 1: just redshirt him. If this was his rookie season. I'd

856
00:48:02,600 --> 00:48:04,680
Speaker 1: be like, you know what, guys, let's just take a breath.

857
00:48:05,160 --> 00:48:08,520
Speaker 1: Let's let him sip from behind and learn, take notes

858
00:48:09,120 --> 00:48:11,719
Speaker 1: and just kind of soak it all in. But it's

859
00:48:11,719 --> 00:48:14,279
Speaker 1: his second year, so let's just give him a couple

860
00:48:14,400 --> 00:48:17,680
Speaker 1: more weeks un till he's ready. Well, let's say Flacco

861
00:48:17,840 --> 00:48:20,480
Speaker 1: wins a couple of games, and that logic of like

862
00:48:20,640 --> 00:48:23,120
Speaker 1: just roll out, Flaco, It's like, okay, and you can

863
00:48:23,239 --> 00:48:25,880
Speaker 1: live in the here and now. But part of drafting

864
00:48:25,960 --> 00:48:29,680
Speaker 1: the guy high was one we believed in his talent,

865
00:48:30,120 --> 00:48:34,400
Speaker 1: but to the contract. Part of the benefit of drafting

866
00:48:34,440 --> 00:48:37,160
Speaker 1: a quarterback in the top ten or the first couple

867
00:48:37,280 --> 00:48:40,640
Speaker 1: rounds and then playing in the immediately if he's good,

868
00:48:41,400 --> 00:48:43,800
Speaker 1: is that he doesn't cost you very much money, so

869
00:48:44,080 --> 00:48:47,960
Speaker 1: they'd be all out of whack. And I just think

870
00:48:48,040 --> 00:48:52,560
Speaker 1: you get yourself in these weird situations where there's no

871
00:48:52,719 --> 00:48:56,360
Speaker 1: way they can say with the straight face that Anthony

872
00:48:56,480 --> 00:49:01,160
Speaker 1: Rigson is today today a better player in Joe Flacco

873
00:49:01,360 --> 00:49:03,880
Speaker 1: and gives our team a better chance to day. Like

874
00:49:04,040 --> 00:49:06,960
Speaker 1: Anthony Riginson against the Jags would not have given them

875
00:49:07,000 --> 00:49:10,640
Speaker 1: a better chance to win than Joe Flacco. Anthony Riginson

876
00:49:10,680 --> 00:49:13,239
Speaker 1: against Steelers two weeks ago would not have given them

877
00:49:13,400 --> 00:49:17,400
Speaker 1: a better chance than Joe flaccol And I'm not Anthony Riginson.

878
00:49:17,680 --> 00:49:20,319
Speaker 1: Though I've been a little concerned pre injury what we saw.

879
00:49:21,080 --> 00:49:26,839
Speaker 1: I'm still pro projects, high character, hard working projects, which

880
00:49:27,000 --> 00:49:28,960
Speaker 1: from all accounts people I know in the league and

881
00:49:29,040 --> 00:49:32,200
Speaker 1: just knowing the Colts, I like everything I heard about

882
00:49:32,200 --> 00:49:35,080
Speaker 1: Anthony Richardson. So it doesn't mean they're all gonna work.

883
00:49:35,600 --> 00:49:40,480
Speaker 1: But I am a proponent of doing that as a

884
00:49:40,600 --> 00:49:43,640
Speaker 1: drafting strategy. Sometimes you can't just fucking try to hit

885
00:49:43,640 --> 00:49:46,919
Speaker 1: an opposite field single, like, hey, we're down three runs,

886
00:49:46,960 --> 00:49:49,680
Speaker 1: we gotta run around a second third. Let this fucking

887
00:49:49,719 --> 00:49:52,520
Speaker 1: thing rip try to hit one off the wall. And

888
00:49:52,719 --> 00:49:56,279
Speaker 1: I'm a fan of that logic and that mindset in

889
00:49:56,480 --> 00:50:01,520
Speaker 1: most walks of life, obviously including football. But eventually he

890
00:50:01,560 --> 00:50:03,920
Speaker 1: gets some information. Now we have a lot to learn

891
00:50:04,000 --> 00:50:05,759
Speaker 1: with anthy Bridgesson. I would say the one thing that

892
00:50:06,920 --> 00:50:09,120
Speaker 1: is kind of a fact is he gets injured all

893
00:50:09,200 --> 00:50:12,120
Speaker 1: the time. It's like, well, the play calling, well, I

894
00:50:12,200 --> 00:50:14,000
Speaker 1: can't just have him drop back and throw it forty

895
00:50:14,080 --> 00:50:16,560
Speaker 1: times because he's one of the most inaccurate quarterbacks in

896
00:50:16,600 --> 00:50:19,000
Speaker 1: the league, so I kind of got to run him.

897
00:50:19,920 --> 00:50:22,440
Speaker 1: And it's like, well, all these quarterbacks are running around

898
00:50:22,520 --> 00:50:26,759
Speaker 1: no problem. Lamar does it. Jayde Daniels is doing it.

899
00:50:27,520 --> 00:50:31,000
Speaker 1: Dude's running like a gazelle. So can this guy do it?

900
00:50:31,560 --> 00:50:34,319
Speaker 1: I mean, because if he can't, and he's always gonna

901
00:50:34,320 --> 00:50:36,919
Speaker 1: get hurt whenever he runs because he doesn't slide, which

902
00:50:37,040 --> 00:50:39,879
Speaker 1: is also a problem, we got problems and this whole

903
00:50:39,920 --> 00:50:43,279
Speaker 1: thing is going to be a disaster. What's next for

904
00:50:43,400 --> 00:50:47,840
Speaker 1: DeVante Adams. I've thought a lot about this one. To me,

905
00:50:47,920 --> 00:50:51,239
Speaker 1: the Jets have absolutely no business trading for him, And

906
00:50:51,320 --> 00:50:54,239
Speaker 1: if they were to lose on Monday Night Football to

907
00:50:54,280 --> 00:50:57,120
Speaker 1: the Bills and fall to two and four, like, let's

908
00:50:57,160 --> 00:50:59,680
Speaker 1: just be real, this team ain't rattling like a four

909
00:50:59,719 --> 00:51:02,640
Speaker 1: game win streak off, You're probably destined to be a

910
00:51:02,680 --> 00:51:05,480
Speaker 1: seven eight win team. So getting rid of a pick

911
00:51:05,520 --> 00:51:10,240
Speaker 1: which Adam Schefter reported, I know a lot of Raider fans.

912
00:51:11,280 --> 00:51:16,160
Speaker 1: I have been around that organization and seeing how passionate

913
00:51:16,239 --> 00:51:19,640
Speaker 1: the fan base is. It's pretty special. It's a it's

914
00:51:19,680 --> 00:51:23,800
Speaker 1: a unique organization. It's kind of got this collegiate feel

915
00:51:24,440 --> 00:51:29,359
Speaker 1: with alumni with the history to this, like I don't

916
00:51:29,400 --> 00:51:34,040
Speaker 1: know succession with al Davis of being this like powerful

917
00:51:34,160 --> 00:51:38,040
Speaker 1: patriarch of it all and just being nuts but being great,

918
00:51:39,440 --> 00:51:42,040
Speaker 1: and then they've had twenty plus years of just embarrassment.

919
00:51:42,480 --> 00:51:45,280
Speaker 1: And I think I mentioned this yesterday Charles Woodson's comments

920
00:51:45,360 --> 00:51:48,040
Speaker 1: of like why can't we have nice things? And this

921
00:51:48,239 --> 00:51:52,440
Speaker 1: is not all on the Raiders. You know Davante clearly

922
00:51:54,800 --> 00:51:56,600
Speaker 1: some of his comments I thought he made in the

923
00:51:56,640 --> 00:52:00,560
Speaker 1: Receiver documentary. It's like, eh, like I could see being

924
00:52:00,600 --> 00:52:04,240
Speaker 1: his teammate and being like, my standard is my standard

925
00:52:04,280 --> 00:52:07,000
Speaker 1: even if we even if we lose, Well, you're just

926
00:52:07,080 --> 00:52:10,160
Speaker 1: mad you got two balls right, and you're a high

927
00:52:10,239 --> 00:52:13,440
Speaker 1: character team first guy always, I thought. But then you're

928
00:52:13,440 --> 00:52:15,359
Speaker 1: bitching and moaning last year when you won some games

929
00:52:15,400 --> 00:52:18,239
Speaker 1: because you only caught one ball, Like that's not really

930
00:52:18,280 --> 00:52:21,919
Speaker 1: how it works. Imagine a quarterback after his team wins,

931
00:52:22,040 --> 00:52:24,480
Speaker 1: bitching and moaning and then he only threw one touchdown, like, yeah,

932
00:52:24,480 --> 00:52:26,640
Speaker 1: I'll be happy when I throw three or four. No

933
00:52:26,680 --> 00:52:30,120
Speaker 1: one says that no defensive lineman's pissed off after his

934
00:52:30,200 --> 00:52:32,800
Speaker 1: team wins because he didn't have a sack. Whole points.

935
00:52:32,840 --> 00:52:35,120
Speaker 1: You practice all we can try to win. So I'm

936
00:52:35,160 --> 00:52:38,239
Speaker 1: not absolving Davante from this. But one thing I've heard

937
00:52:38,280 --> 00:52:40,600
Speaker 1: out there in the grape vine is that I think

938
00:52:40,680 --> 00:52:44,479
Speaker 1: the Antonio Pierce they saw after they all put Josh

939
00:52:44,600 --> 00:52:47,000
Speaker 1: McDaniels in a guillotine, stabbed him in the back, lit

940
00:52:47,040 --> 00:52:49,600
Speaker 1: his body on fire, and threw them in one of

941
00:52:49,960 --> 00:52:52,240
Speaker 1: that Vegas lake where they found a bunch of bodies

942
00:52:52,280 --> 00:52:54,600
Speaker 1: from the mob, essentially, which I don't even blame them

943
00:52:54,640 --> 00:52:59,440
Speaker 1: for doing. He was objectively bad, and I watched a

944
00:52:59,440 --> 00:53:03,160
Speaker 1: decent amount of Raider games and his team's stunk. It

945
00:53:03,360 --> 00:53:07,439
Speaker 1: was not going well, so get it. But you ride

946
00:53:07,440 --> 00:53:09,680
Speaker 1: this Antonio Pierce wave. One thing I heard of the

947
00:53:09,719 --> 00:53:12,960
Speaker 1: offseason starts feeling himself a little bit. It might be

948
00:53:13,040 --> 00:53:16,640
Speaker 1: a little different vibe to him than what it was previously,

949
00:53:17,000 --> 00:53:19,399
Speaker 1: which is part of it. Like being the interim coach,

950
00:53:19,520 --> 00:53:22,319
Speaker 1: being the head guy. It's a little different. But here's

951
00:53:22,360 --> 00:53:24,759
Speaker 1: right now, I'm watching your team and you're getting fucking ransacked.

952
00:53:27,040 --> 00:53:30,920
Speaker 1: Sean Payton just made you look like a JV squad.

953
00:53:31,120 --> 00:53:33,760
Speaker 1: You can only hold on to coming back ten points

954
00:53:34,000 --> 00:53:37,600
Speaker 1: to the Ravens for so long. We'll be in Halloween

955
00:53:37,680 --> 00:53:39,360
Speaker 1: before you know it, and that game will seem like

956
00:53:39,440 --> 00:53:42,120
Speaker 1: a distant memory. So, yeah, it was cool smoking those

957
00:53:42,160 --> 00:53:44,480
Speaker 1: cigars and puffing your chest out. If you played the

958
00:53:44,560 --> 00:53:47,400
Speaker 1: Ravens ten times. I think most of us are betting

959
00:53:47,480 --> 00:53:50,200
Speaker 1: on them basically ten out of ten times. Yeah, you

960
00:53:50,320 --> 00:53:54,239
Speaker 1: might beat him once Maybee twice, but they're getting the

961
00:53:54,280 --> 00:53:57,520
Speaker 1: eighty plus percent of the time. So I think when

962
00:53:57,560 --> 00:54:00,080
Speaker 1: you look at this whole situation, the Raiders are a

963
00:54:00,280 --> 00:54:03,719
Speaker 1: mess or an absolute disaster, and now the owner wants

964
00:54:03,760 --> 00:54:08,120
Speaker 1: to dictate the cost of what Davante's value would be.

965
00:54:09,000 --> 00:54:12,320
Speaker 1: This is my issue with some of these owners, like Mark,

966
00:54:13,000 --> 00:54:15,719
Speaker 1: who's not really a meddler, but I get it from

967
00:54:15,840 --> 00:54:19,160
Speaker 1: his standpoint of like, how many times are we going

968
00:54:19,239 --> 00:54:21,719
Speaker 1: to trade a high pick, which they traded a first

969
00:54:21,840 --> 00:54:24,279
Speaker 1: round pick for this guy, and now his value you

970
00:54:24,400 --> 00:54:28,719
Speaker 1: just tell me is like they give us a third

971
00:54:28,760 --> 00:54:31,000
Speaker 1: and we give him Davante in a fifth, And it's

972
00:54:31,120 --> 00:54:34,480
Speaker 1: essentially like a fourth. It was like, well, the money,

973
00:54:34,600 --> 00:54:37,600
Speaker 1: the cap, and that's a fact, Like, no one's offering

974
00:54:37,719 --> 00:54:41,680
Speaker 1: us a second. He's thirty two years old. He's currently injured,

975
00:54:42,520 --> 00:54:47,319
Speaker 1: we think, but some of those comments aren't exactly like yeah,

976
00:54:48,400 --> 00:54:51,160
Speaker 1: I'll throw the kitchen sink at the guy. So I

977
00:54:51,680 --> 00:54:53,560
Speaker 1: just think what's next for Davonte. I could see him

978
00:54:53,560 --> 00:54:56,719
Speaker 1: being on the Raiders. I saw Antonio Pierce saying kind

979
00:54:56,719 --> 00:55:00,840
Speaker 1: of status quo, that is quote, you guys, just this

980
00:55:01,040 --> 00:55:03,960
Speaker 1: is why you can. Guy always gotta be careful with these, uh,

981
00:55:05,040 --> 00:55:08,440
Speaker 1: the bad organizations. Right. You see it in the NBA

982
00:55:08,480 --> 00:55:12,080
Speaker 1: a lot when guys go to certain teams and it's

983
00:55:12,239 --> 00:55:14,920
Speaker 1: like this, this is really gonna work. This is this

984
00:55:15,040 --> 00:55:17,799
Speaker 1: team is finally gonna be relevant. Like three weeks later

985
00:55:17,880 --> 00:55:20,040
Speaker 1: that dude wants a trade. It's like what happened to

986
00:55:20,080 --> 00:55:22,120
Speaker 1: the Brooklyn Nets with all those guys that came through.

987
00:55:22,120 --> 00:55:25,200
Speaker 1: It's like, yeah, of course, like this this is gonna

988
00:55:25,200 --> 00:55:28,680
Speaker 1: be a disaster. Anything with the Raiders, even when it

989
00:55:28,719 --> 00:55:31,720
Speaker 1: feels like god, yeah, Josh McDaniels from the Patriots resurrect

990
00:55:31,800 --> 00:55:34,759
Speaker 1: his career, Davante back with this boy Derek Carr. Two

991
00:55:34,880 --> 00:55:37,239
Speaker 1: years later, they're all gone, and even Max Crosby's having

992
00:55:37,239 --> 00:55:39,239
Speaker 1: to go on rants about Michael Lombardi, how he doesn't

993
00:55:39,239 --> 00:55:40,879
Speaker 1: want to leave and he doesn't know shit. It's like, well,

994
00:55:40,960 --> 00:55:44,160
Speaker 1: Max does feel like kind of weird right now, It

995
00:55:44,280 --> 00:55:47,640
Speaker 1: really does. And and the more often you get your

996
00:55:47,680 --> 00:55:50,759
Speaker 1: ass kicked, not it wasn't necessarily Max's fault. I mean,

997
00:55:50,800 --> 00:55:54,520
Speaker 1: he's playing his ass off. He's injured, but like, no

998
00:55:54,600 --> 00:55:57,680
Speaker 1: one digs the franchise seriously. I think people think they

999
00:55:57,719 --> 00:55:59,400
Speaker 1: can take advantage of the Raiders and it's gonna be

1000
00:55:59,440 --> 00:56:02,240
Speaker 1: interesting how the plays out, what's next for the Pats

1001
00:56:02,400 --> 00:56:05,600
Speaker 1: QB situation. I'll be honest, I didn't watch a snap

1002
00:56:05,680 --> 00:56:09,200
Speaker 1: of that game, not a snap, and I'm proud of

1003
00:56:09,280 --> 00:56:14,800
Speaker 1: it because the game's irrelevant, it really is, and Miami

1004
00:56:14,920 --> 00:56:18,680
Speaker 1: without Tua is also irrelevant. But the Pats, as long

1005
00:56:18,680 --> 00:56:22,759
Speaker 1: as Jacoby's playing, no one that doesn't live in New

1006
00:56:22,840 --> 00:56:25,759
Speaker 1: England that does what I do for a living needs

1007
00:56:25,840 --> 00:56:26,600
Speaker 1: to watch them play.

1008
00:56:26,640 --> 00:56:26,759
Speaker 3: Now.

1009
00:56:26,800 --> 00:56:29,080
Speaker 1: The moment Drake plays got to throw them on a TV.

1010
00:56:29,760 --> 00:56:31,880
Speaker 1: I want to watch what's going on. If Tua were

1011
00:56:31,920 --> 00:56:34,080
Speaker 1: to come back from Miami, Okay, I'll pay back attention,

1012
00:56:34,920 --> 00:56:37,600
Speaker 1: but if you're rolling out Tyler Huntley against Jacoby Brissett.

1013
00:56:38,600 --> 00:56:41,000
Speaker 1: I think you'd have to pay most football fans to

1014
00:56:41,120 --> 00:56:45,520
Speaker 1: consume that. And it was broken. This not broken, but

1015
00:56:45,640 --> 00:56:50,719
Speaker 1: it was alluded to by the rap sheets and schefter that, like,

1016
00:56:50,920 --> 00:56:54,960
Speaker 1: you know, there's a movement, might be time for Drake

1017
00:56:55,040 --> 00:56:58,040
Speaker 1: May to come play. Here was the problem with this

1018
00:56:58,200 --> 00:57:02,359
Speaker 1: logic of we're gonna read him right, He's not gonna play,

1019
00:57:02,360 --> 00:57:05,000
Speaker 1: He's gonna sit behind the team. We're gonna do some

1020
00:57:05,120 --> 00:57:08,120
Speaker 1: of this practice stuff where he gets thirty to forty

1021
00:57:08,160 --> 00:57:11,040
Speaker 1: percent of the snaps, which is unheard of in the NFL.

1022
00:57:12,719 --> 00:57:15,759
Speaker 1: Your team was always gonna suck, and it turns out

1023
00:57:15,800 --> 00:57:18,360
Speaker 1: you suck even worse. You have scored a total of

1024
00:57:18,480 --> 00:57:22,320
Speaker 1: twenty six points the last three games. Twenty six points

1025
00:57:22,360 --> 00:57:26,240
Speaker 1: the last three games. I mean, they're not even what's

1026
00:57:26,320 --> 00:57:28,320
Speaker 1: They're not even averaged nine points a game right now,

1027
00:57:29,440 --> 00:57:34,880
Speaker 1: over that period, it's impossible to hold the young guy

1028
00:57:34,960 --> 00:57:39,720
Speaker 1: back because eventually the owner, who's old, and let's face it,

1029
00:57:39,960 --> 00:57:42,360
Speaker 1: most people, I can't even imagine the discourse in that

1030
00:57:42,560 --> 00:57:45,880
Speaker 1: area after everything that happened this summer with him, like

1031
00:57:46,000 --> 00:57:50,120
Speaker 1: creating a documentary to bash Belichick. Did people are gonna

1032
00:57:50,120 --> 00:57:52,040
Speaker 1: want to see Drake May because that's the only way

1033
00:57:52,120 --> 00:57:54,560
Speaker 1: for you to stay relevant because no one can watch that.

1034
00:57:55,640 --> 00:57:57,920
Speaker 1: And I will defend people that push back on like

1035
00:57:57,960 --> 00:57:59,720
Speaker 1: if you're a Patriot fan, you don't get just dropped

1036
00:57:59,760 --> 00:58:02,120
Speaker 1: the team. But I don't blame you if you're just

1037
00:58:02,240 --> 00:58:05,280
Speaker 1: not really paying attention this year. It's like, wake me

1038
00:58:05,440 --> 00:58:07,440
Speaker 1: up if Drake May start in a game. If not,

1039
00:58:07,720 --> 00:58:11,480
Speaker 1: like I can take my wife to launch if I

1040
00:58:11,560 --> 00:58:14,160
Speaker 1: have to mention a Patriot game, Like who cares? Like

1041
00:58:14,400 --> 00:58:16,680
Speaker 1: I'm not expecting us to ever just rattle off super

1042
00:58:16,680 --> 00:58:21,120
Speaker 1: bowls again. But that's not worth our time. It's really

1043
00:58:21,200 --> 00:58:24,720
Speaker 1: not and it's not all their fault. Belichick the last

1044
00:58:24,760 --> 00:58:28,320
Speaker 1: couple of years. Bad job drafting, but it's a tough watch.

1045
00:58:28,920 --> 00:58:33,960
Speaker 1: And Jacoby is an impressive guy as a human player,

1046
00:58:34,200 --> 00:58:40,560
Speaker 1: pretty terrible, he really is. Last, but not least, you know.

1047
00:58:40,600 --> 00:58:42,000
Speaker 1: I think a lot of people have tried to come

1048
00:58:42,080 --> 00:58:45,560
Speaker 1: up with these theories about college football and why it's

1049
00:58:45,600 --> 00:58:49,520
Speaker 1: gotten so bananas, because I would say when I was

1050
00:58:49,560 --> 00:58:51,720
Speaker 1: a kid growing up, there were two or three teams

1051
00:58:51,920 --> 00:58:54,040
Speaker 1: and it was like they were basically beating everybody else

1052
00:58:54,760 --> 00:58:57,520
Speaker 1: you knew at the start of the season, like unless

1053
00:58:57,520 --> 00:59:03,320
Speaker 1: there's a crazy injury. Nebraska, Florida State, Miami with Pete

1054
00:59:03,360 --> 00:59:06,320
Speaker 1: Carroll USC. I mean there's always been a group of

1055
00:59:06,400 --> 00:59:09,720
Speaker 1: three or four. It's like they're at lock. Well, back then,

1056
00:59:11,120 --> 00:59:13,760
Speaker 1: if you re signed a guy to a scholarship and

1057
00:59:13,840 --> 00:59:17,040
Speaker 1: he showed up on campus, if he wanted to leave,

1058
00:59:17,640 --> 00:59:20,600
Speaker 1: like let's just say you're Pete Carroll or you know whoever.

1059
00:59:20,680 --> 00:59:22,880
Speaker 1: The best coaches are even back in Nick Saban and

1060
00:59:23,040 --> 00:59:25,280
Speaker 1: Urban Myers Day at Florida and early on in Alabama.

1061
00:59:25,680 --> 00:59:28,680
Speaker 1: I signed John Middlecoff to a scholarship a year in.

1062
00:59:28,960 --> 00:59:33,000
Speaker 1: He hates hates me, hates the program, wants out. It's like, okay,

1063
00:59:33,560 --> 00:59:37,040
Speaker 1: you can leave, but you got to sit out a

1064
00:59:37,120 --> 00:59:40,440
Speaker 1: year to transfer somewhere, and it's not as easy to

1065
00:59:40,560 --> 00:59:44,440
Speaker 1: just transfer back then there wasn't some portal where everyone

1066
00:59:44,560 --> 00:59:47,640
Speaker 1: got on the horn and started talking clearly like now,

1067
00:59:48,280 --> 00:59:51,600
Speaker 1: it was much more complicated. So what happened. A lot

1068
00:59:51,640 --> 00:59:54,520
Speaker 1: of guys stuck through. And there's a lot of stories

1069
00:59:55,640 --> 00:59:58,400
Speaker 1: over the years of when I was a kid, when

1070
00:59:58,440 --> 01:00:02,000
Speaker 1: I was in college, of like athletes telling their story

1071
01:00:02,080 --> 01:00:06,520
Speaker 1: of like I hated it, I wanted to leave. I

1072
01:00:06,640 --> 01:00:09,240
Speaker 1: called my parents, I called my high school coach. I

1073
01:00:09,360 --> 01:00:11,280
Speaker 1: called whoever was close in my life and said this,

1074
01:00:11,680 --> 01:00:15,360
Speaker 1: I want out one of them. You could argue the

1075
01:00:15,400 --> 01:00:18,400
Speaker 1: best player of all time Tom Brady. That's literally a story.

1076
01:00:18,480 --> 01:00:21,560
Speaker 1: He had hated at Michigan, thought about transferring back to

1077
01:00:21,680 --> 01:00:23,800
Speaker 1: cal and he got talked out of it by a

1078
01:00:23,800 --> 01:00:28,720
Speaker 1: couple people. In twenty twenty four, tom Brady zero chance

1079
01:00:28,760 --> 01:00:32,600
Speaker 1: spends his entire career in Michigan. There literally is negative

1080
01:00:32,680 --> 01:00:37,160
Speaker 1: zero percent chance that that happens. So now you're watching

1081
01:00:37,240 --> 01:00:41,240
Speaker 1: college football and you're seeing all these crazy games, Like obviously,

1082
01:00:41,360 --> 01:00:43,920
Speaker 1: the best teams are still going to be the best teams.

1083
01:00:44,520 --> 01:00:47,160
Speaker 1: They have the most money, they pay the most for coaches,

1084
01:00:47,280 --> 01:00:51,000
Speaker 1: they have the most history, like the Alabamas, Ohio States,

1085
01:00:51,240 --> 01:00:57,400
Speaker 1: Georgia's you know, LSU, Texas. Obviously, now Oregon moving forward

1086
01:00:57,480 --> 01:01:00,280
Speaker 1: like they're not. Penn State are not going away. But

1087
01:01:00,400 --> 01:01:02,960
Speaker 1: I think the day and age of just seeing the

1088
01:01:03,080 --> 01:01:05,480
Speaker 1: three year run of Pete Carroll in the mid two thousands,

1089
01:01:06,440 --> 01:01:09,320
Speaker 1: the Miami runs of the nineties and early two thousand, like,

1090
01:01:09,320 --> 01:01:12,000
Speaker 1: I think those are done. And I think on any

1091
01:01:12,040 --> 01:01:15,640
Speaker 1: given game with the transfer portal, with the lack of cohesion,

1092
01:01:16,320 --> 01:01:20,400
Speaker 1: crazy stuff could happen Obviously, Vanderbilt beating Alabama is a

1093
01:01:20,480 --> 01:01:24,000
Speaker 1: pretty unprecedented moment and is not going to happen that often.

1094
01:01:24,840 --> 01:01:27,640
Speaker 1: But like all of a sudden, Cal's decent. They're three

1095
01:01:27,680 --> 01:01:30,200
Speaker 1: and one, four and one, and they're playing Miami, and

1096
01:01:30,280 --> 01:01:33,520
Speaker 1: now everyone travels really far because of this conference rey alignment,

1097
01:01:34,160 --> 01:01:35,960
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, they're down thirty five to

1098
01:01:36,240 --> 01:01:38,880
Speaker 1: ten or whatever it was, and should have won the

1099
01:01:38,960 --> 01:01:41,080
Speaker 1: game if not for really a blown coverage on the

1100
01:01:41,120 --> 01:01:44,400
Speaker 1: final drive that the slot receiver took seventy yards. But

1101
01:01:44,520 --> 01:01:48,600
Speaker 1: I think a huge reason for the parody, which is great.

1102
01:01:49,200 --> 01:01:52,440
Speaker 1: What does the NFL have that It's like, I'm recording

1103
01:01:52,480 --> 01:01:56,200
Speaker 1: this part before the Chiefs game. I think we all

1104
01:01:56,240 --> 01:01:56,960
Speaker 1: acknowledge that.

1105
01:01:57,280 --> 01:01:59,400
Speaker 3: I'm not going to bet against the Chiefs, but I

1106
01:01:59,440 --> 01:02:02,680
Speaker 3: wouldn't bet my life savings on the Chiefs every single game.

1107
01:02:03,800 --> 01:02:05,919
Speaker 1: And eventually, whether it's this year, whether it's same, they're

1108
01:02:05,920 --> 01:02:08,520
Speaker 1: gonna lose a playoff game. One of these games that

1109
01:02:08,560 --> 01:02:11,320
Speaker 1: they've won seventeen to ten or seventeen to thirteen or

1110
01:02:11,440 --> 01:02:13,640
Speaker 1: twenty to eighteen, Like one of those is gonna go

1111
01:02:13,680 --> 01:02:16,600
Speaker 1: the other way. And that's the best part about football.

1112
01:02:16,760 --> 01:02:20,240
Speaker 1: We know it's possible they can lose one of these

1113
01:02:20,280 --> 01:02:23,959
Speaker 1: big games in January. Honestly, it's like a lock to happen.

1114
01:02:24,600 --> 01:02:27,640
Speaker 1: If not this year, next year. They're not winning four

1115
01:02:27,680 --> 01:02:29,400
Speaker 1: in a row. I wouldn't put it past them to

1116
01:02:29,400 --> 01:02:34,040
Speaker 1: win three in a row. But regardless, it's football, right.

1117
01:02:34,120 --> 01:02:36,880
Speaker 1: Think about the two Tom Conflin teams. Part of the

1118
01:02:36,960 --> 01:02:39,200
Speaker 1: reason that they were in the Super Bowl is because

1119
01:02:39,200 --> 01:02:42,120
Speaker 1: they had insane upsets along the way, on top of

1120
01:02:42,200 --> 01:02:45,360
Speaker 1: the upsets in the actual Super Bowl. So I just

1121
01:02:45,480 --> 01:02:49,040
Speaker 1: think college football has always felt like it's really just

1122
01:02:49,080 --> 01:02:53,520
Speaker 1: two or three teams, and while the same teams are

1123
01:02:53,640 --> 01:02:56,200
Speaker 1: probably still gonna be in the mix, it does bring

1124
01:02:56,480 --> 01:02:59,840
Speaker 1: way more into play, and I think that makes the

1125
01:03:00,080 --> 01:03:05,600
Speaker 1: sport way more interesting because the entire season now because

1126
01:03:05,640 --> 01:03:10,200
Speaker 1: it's football and every game does still matter, even if

1127
01:03:10,240 --> 01:03:13,920
Speaker 1: you are allowed to lose games and get in Like

1128
01:03:14,480 --> 01:03:17,440
Speaker 1: I would look at the Vanderbilt loss and I'm not

1129
01:03:17,720 --> 01:03:20,600
Speaker 1: just getting my boys back here, it's like a twelve

1130
01:03:20,640 --> 01:03:22,680
Speaker 1: team playoff. Guess I got news for you. They could

1131
01:03:22,720 --> 01:03:26,640
Speaker 1: lose another game. Losing that game does not ruin their

1132
01:03:26,720 --> 01:03:31,080
Speaker 1: season at all. Now if they lose two more and

1133
01:03:31,200 --> 01:03:33,720
Speaker 1: that's one of their losses, yeah, then we got problems.

1134
01:03:34,880 --> 01:03:37,400
Speaker 1: But if they handle business and just lose one more

1135
01:03:37,440 --> 01:03:39,320
Speaker 1: game and they're ten and two with Vanderbilt, now it

1136
01:03:39,440 --> 01:03:43,000
Speaker 1: might determine their seeding. Instead of being the sixth seed,

1137
01:03:43,040 --> 01:03:46,760
Speaker 1: they're the eleven seed. Okay, I don't necessarily care, but

1138
01:03:47,520 --> 01:03:50,560
Speaker 1: they're gonna be in the playoffs, and that's that's all

1139
01:03:50,640 --> 01:03:52,720
Speaker 1: I care about, and then I'll bet on them then.

1140
01:03:53,280 --> 01:03:57,120
Speaker 1: But I think that once the playoff brackets start, and

1141
01:03:57,200 --> 01:04:00,520
Speaker 1: me and Colin talked about this, it has a much

1142
01:04:00,680 --> 01:04:05,080
Speaker 1: closer to an NFL field, which pre transfer portal, pre

1143
01:04:05,320 --> 01:04:07,520
Speaker 1: nil you look at the Final four in college football,

1144
01:04:08,200 --> 01:04:10,720
Speaker 1: I think the average margin of victory for that first

1145
01:04:10,840 --> 01:04:13,600
Speaker 1: round was really high, and those were just two games

1146
01:04:14,080 --> 01:04:17,800
Speaker 1: and we were constantly getting blowouts. So the sport now

1147
01:04:18,000 --> 01:04:22,880
Speaker 1: just feels way more parody, not just across the board,

1148
01:04:22,920 --> 01:04:24,840
Speaker 1: but definitely at the top. So where we used to

1149
01:04:24,880 --> 01:04:27,800
Speaker 1: have two or three teams, now maybe there's like fifteen

1150
01:04:28,760 --> 01:04:31,960
Speaker 1: the difference of the fourteenth and the second. If you

1151
01:04:32,000 --> 01:04:33,680
Speaker 1: get them on the right day, all of a sudden,

1152
01:04:33,720 --> 01:04:39,680
Speaker 1: that team might win by ten. The volume
