Got 0:01:00.200 --> 0:01:03.680 a good show for you as usual episode four thirty three. 0:01:03.760 --> 0:01:05.360 We got a lot of stuff to talk about. I mean, 0:01:05.360 --> 0:01:08.040 we got a college football championship game that's about to 0:01:08.120 --> 0:01:10.440 kick off in an hour or so. We are down 0:01:10.480 --> 0:01:13.120 to the final four in the NFL, so we'll give 0:01:13.160 --> 0:01:17.680 you our takeaways from divisional weekend, and of course, Danny, 0:01:17.760 --> 0:01:20.520 we gotta update Speeds versus the kids. It's a little 0:01:20.520 --> 0:01:24.320 bit different then last week. I will say, my members 0:01:24.360 --> 0:01:27.440 of the stats over beat Cipher know that to be true. 0:01:27.480 --> 0:01:29.440 We got a poll question that I think is very 0:01:29.640 --> 0:01:34.520 very interesting as well. My pole question is this, if 0:01:34.560 --> 0:01:36.880 you have to start a franchise right now in the NFL, 0:01:38.120 --> 0:01:40.440 and you gotta start, you know, and grab one quarterback, 0:01:40.480 --> 0:01:42.960 think about young quarterbacks with for the next like ten years, 0:01:43.400 --> 0:01:47.000 what would you take? Because you know, my thesis right 0:01:47.560 --> 0:01:49.640 all year has been that they're the three men in 0:01:49.640 --> 0:01:53.520 the a f C. Lamar Jackson, Patty Mahomes and Deshaun Watson. 0:01:53.560 --> 0:01:55.640 Only one of them is left standing. Patty Mahomes after 0:01:55.680 --> 0:01:59.480 a ridiculous comeback in Arrowhead yesterday. We'll get into that. 0:02:00.120 --> 0:02:01.720 A lot of people are hitting me up right now. 0:02:01.760 --> 0:02:05.240 I had those three and then other ironically Other is 0:02:05.280 --> 0:02:07.800 not in last place alright. A lot of people with 0:02:07.880 --> 0:02:10.640 some love for Josh Allen up there in Buffalo. I 0:02:10.639 --> 0:02:13.320 seem to also believe that Russell Wilson could get some 0:02:13.400 --> 0:02:16.120 love because even in the next ten years, if Russell 0:02:16.200 --> 0:02:19.760 and is nerties for you know, eight of them, right. 0:02:19.840 --> 0:02:22.280 So I think it's an interesting question because we did 0:02:22.280 --> 0:02:25.440 see some of that on display this weekend. But I 0:02:25.480 --> 0:02:27.760 do want to also note, and we're gonna get into football. 0:02:28.040 --> 0:02:30.320 For sure. Football is gonna be what we talked about, 0:02:30.760 --> 0:02:32.440 you know, most of the time here, and that's what 0:02:32.480 --> 0:02:35.120 the status of Beat Cipher knows. But there's a huge 0:02:35.120 --> 0:02:39.120 story breaking in baseball today, all right. The it sounds 0:02:39.120 --> 0:02:41.400 like a Major League Baseball is coming down on the 0:02:41.400 --> 0:02:45.239 Houston Astros. First we heard word that Astro's manager A J. 0:02:45.440 --> 0:02:50.320 Hinge and the GM Jeff Lanout, we're suspended for a year. Okay. 0:02:50.440 --> 0:02:52.960 We're also hearing the Astros will forfeit their first and 0:02:53.160 --> 0:02:55.600 second round draft picks for the next couple of years. 0:02:56.000 --> 0:02:58.880 I think this is legit. I think this is a deterrent. 0:02:59.000 --> 0:03:01.680 I think it hurts them. And then we hear more 0:03:02.400 --> 0:03:04.720 that the Houston Nationals have turned around and were like, 0:03:04.919 --> 0:03:07.160 you know what, forget this, and they turned around and 0:03:07.320 --> 0:03:11.480 fired Hinch and the GM. And then we hear more 0:03:11.880 --> 0:03:13.919 that they are still ready to drop in this being 0:03:13.960 --> 0:03:16.560 Major League Baseball, still ready to drop the hammer on 0:03:16.639 --> 0:03:20.120 Joey Cora and potentially the Boston Red Sox because they 0:03:20.120 --> 0:03:22.880 are involved. Remember Corus sort of like the mastermind behind 0:03:22.960 --> 0:03:26.400 all this. And we're not done, and there's still talk 0:03:26.480 --> 0:03:29.720 about what this means for Carlos Beltrand now, um because 0:03:29.760 --> 0:03:31.360 he was there, now the manager of the meth Now. 0:03:31.400 --> 0:03:32.880 A lot of people are saying and it seems like 0:03:32.880 --> 0:03:38.040 the report is indicating that no players will be um 0:03:38.400 --> 0:03:42.880 uh uh punished, right, And I wonder what you think 0:03:42.880 --> 0:03:45.400 about that, because they were all complicit in this, they 0:03:45.440 --> 0:03:48.280 all knew this. What if you're armand Judge, who finishes 0:03:48.320 --> 0:03:50.960 second to Jose Altuve in the two sev A L 0:03:51.040 --> 0:03:53.120 m v P. What if you're the New York Yankees. 0:03:53.400 --> 0:03:55.720 What if you're the Los Angeles Dodgers who went to 0:03:55.760 --> 0:03:58.160 the World Series, you know, back to back years and 0:03:58.160 --> 0:04:01.400 we're facing this nonsense, all right? I think this is 0:04:01.480 --> 0:04:03.720 very interesting. People are not likening this all the way, 0:04:03.800 --> 0:04:07.720 like to the Black Sox scandal, that it's worse than steroids, 0:04:07.760 --> 0:04:12.040 worse than Pete Rose between sounds, banging lights in the 0:04:12.080 --> 0:04:14.640 mound and all this stuff. And it's not done yet, 0:04:14.680 --> 0:04:17.479 So keep an eye out on this. I do think 0:04:17.520 --> 0:04:20.080 it is a deterrent. I do think the Astros are 0:04:20.080 --> 0:04:23.320 gonna fall by the wayside a little bit on this. Um. Yeah, 0:04:23.400 --> 0:04:25.480 I know they have great talent still, but you know, 0:04:25.520 --> 0:04:27.960 when they don't know what's coming. We'll see if that 0:04:28.000 --> 0:04:31.200 holds true. Uh, free agents aren't gonna want to sign there. 0:04:31.400 --> 0:04:33.640 They have to now hire a new manager in GM. 0:04:33.760 --> 0:04:35.839 I do think this hits and where it hurts. Would 0:04:35.839 --> 0:04:38.599 you trade it in for a title if you knew 0:04:38.880 --> 0:04:40.279 that this was gonna And I don't even think it 0:04:40.279 --> 0:04:42.000 guarantees you a title? Right, you still have to hit 0:04:42.040 --> 0:04:44.320 the ball, But if you knew this would get you 0:04:44.400 --> 0:04:48.359 a title? Is it worth the is it worth the crime? 0:04:48.880 --> 0:04:50.440 Is it worth it to you? That's what I want 0:04:50.480 --> 0:04:52.080 to know. Hit me up in the chat room about that. 0:04:52.320 --> 0:04:54.719 Hit me up if you would take Lamar Jackson, Patty Mahomes, 0:04:54.760 --> 0:04:59.159 Deshaun Watson, or someone else like a Josh Allen, like Kyler, 0:04:59.200 --> 0:05:02.680 Murray Baker, Mayfiel, Sam Donald, Daniel Jones, or one of 0:05:02.680 --> 0:05:06.360 these guys playing tonight, perhaps Joe Burrow, Trevor Lawrence Right 0:05:06.480 --> 0:05:08.760 or an old guard. Maybe you want to hang onto 0:05:08.800 --> 0:05:10.960 a guy like Russell Wilson. But in any event, we 0:05:11.080 --> 0:05:13.400 have to look. Now there are four teams left, and 0:05:13.400 --> 0:05:15.600 that's what we're gonna get into. Okay, we're gonna talk 0:05:15.640 --> 0:05:17.200 about on the other side of the break, which is 0:05:17.200 --> 0:05:19.719 coming in a few minutes. We will talk about what 0:05:19.760 --> 0:05:22.080 speed's got right, what Speeds got wrong. We will break 0:05:22.120 --> 0:05:25.520 down the takeaways, the diamonds, the fool gazes from all 0:05:25.640 --> 0:05:28.400 four games and what I call the best weekend of football. Okay, 0:05:28.560 --> 0:05:30.600 there were a number of themes, and I gotta tell 0:05:30.640 --> 0:05:32.920 you the truth. If you're real deal, Stats over Beat 0:05:32.960 --> 0:05:35.720 Cipher and some of you guys out there certainly are 0:05:35.800 --> 0:05:39.240 Ben out there, Tommy Gunns out there already. Okay, if 0:05:39.279 --> 0:05:43.760 you um, you know, Ben is already talking about unpredictability 0:05:43.800 --> 0:05:46.440 of football. I don't know, man, I had them against 0:05:46.480 --> 0:05:48.640 the kids. I told you the Titans would be the 0:05:48.720 --> 0:05:52.680 one outright dog that I thought goodwin. So yes, but 0:05:52.720 --> 0:05:54.600 if you rewind the tape, we were kind of on 0:05:54.640 --> 0:05:56.240 that with the Stats over Beat Cipher. But it is 0:05:56.279 --> 0:05:59.279 absolutely crazy, you know, the fact that these kids can 0:05:59.320 --> 0:06:01.120 kind of pick game just as good as some of us. 0:06:01.160 --> 0:06:04.320 It's interesting. So we will update the standings of that. 0:06:04.400 --> 0:06:07.080 I'll give you the takeaways, right, and then we'll also 0:06:07.080 --> 0:06:10.680 spin it forward to the National Championship game. And Danny, 0:06:11.080 --> 0:06:14.839 there's another thing going on this weekend that's not my 0:06:14.880 --> 0:06:16.919 bachelor party. I know the Stats over Beat Cipher already 0:06:17.000 --> 0:06:20.080 knows about that going down this weekend in Miami, I'll 0:06:20.080 --> 0:06:23.400 be down that with Joe Marnary. But Danny, there's another 0:06:23.440 --> 0:06:27.040 event in your neck of the woods, in your industry, 0:06:27.440 --> 0:06:30.720 the place that you love so much, that we may 0:06:30.760 --> 0:06:33.960 have to talk about as well. Danny, you know what 0:06:33.960 --> 0:06:39.360 I'm talking about? Brother men? Uh no, No, what if 0:06:39.360 --> 0:06:41.440 I tell you some guy that walks with a billionaire 0:06:41.520 --> 0:06:46.479 strut is fighting a cowboy this weekend? Uh? Yeah? Now know? Yeah? 0:06:46.600 --> 0:06:48.680 So maybe we'll talk about that as well, because I 0:06:48.720 --> 0:06:51.839 have a key question for you, Danny, and that is 0:06:51.880 --> 0:06:54.960 do rich do rich people like getting hit in the face? 0:06:57.000 --> 0:07:04.160 Because I don't know Connors rich now cowboys not cowboys old. 0:07:05.520 --> 0:07:09.320 But if you get rich like generational wealth like Connor 0:07:09.400 --> 0:07:12.040 has now, are you still training the same way you 0:07:12.080 --> 0:07:14.680 were when you were a janitor in Ireland? I don't know. 0:07:14.880 --> 0:07:17.120 I want to get your thoughts on that as well. 0:07:17.320 --> 0:07:19.640 We'll look over the injuries, will look over the games. 0:07:19.640 --> 0:07:22.320 You know what's interesting, A lot of these teams came 0:07:22.320 --> 0:07:25.040 out not that banged up, like I can't find really 0:07:25.080 --> 0:07:28.200 a big injury. For the Tennessee Titans. For green Bay, 0:07:28.520 --> 0:07:31.400 there was that illness that went through Bologa came out 0:07:31.400 --> 0:07:34.640 of the concussion protocol he's eyed. Alan Lizard went to 0:07:34.680 --> 0:07:38.120 the Blue Tent. We'll check in on that and Casey. 0:07:38.280 --> 0:07:40.760 I know Kelsey and Hill got banged up, but they 0:07:40.800 --> 0:07:43.480 were back out there. Chris Jones is a big one. 0:07:43.480 --> 0:07:47.280 We'll track him, but otherwise these teams could be healthy. 0:07:47.800 --> 0:07:49.400 The best day in football, Come on back, we'll talk 0:07:49.400 --> 0:07:56.040 about it.

Yeah. 0:08:46.960 --> 0:08:49.319 Ben is asking some questions some of you guys, Tommy 0:08:49.360 --> 0:08:51.800 gunns q q Q Wilson Ben, you guys are in 0:08:51.840 --> 0:08:54.559 the chat still talking about this Astros thing. I think 0:08:54.559 --> 0:08:57.040 it's really interesting. Listen. I I do think it's a 0:08:57.080 --> 0:09:01.080 deterrent okay, because here's the thing. They gotta hire a 0:09:01.080 --> 0:09:05.240 new manager now, all right, So that's one. Okay. To 0:09:05.520 --> 0:09:07.640 the draft picks. I think are real their first and 0:09:07.720 --> 0:09:11.000 their second round picks for the next two years. Remember 0:09:11.040 --> 0:09:12.920 this is how this team stocked up in the beginning. 0:09:12.960 --> 0:09:16.840 They drafted Korea Bregman. All these gets Springer right. And 0:09:16.880 --> 0:09:19.640 the other thing for me is, you know they're pretty 0:09:19.720 --> 0:09:22.280 much mud for the next few years. Right. If you're 0:09:22.280 --> 0:09:25.320 a free agent, are you gonna sign in Houston now? 0:09:26.120 --> 0:09:29.120 Or is that kind of stench still there? I think 0:09:29.160 --> 0:09:30.959 you're not gonna sign. I think it's a determined free 0:09:30.960 --> 0:09:35.400 agent signing as well. And listen, the idea, um, is 0:09:35.440 --> 0:09:38.880 it possible the Mets fire beltrend It is possible. Is 0:09:38.880 --> 0:09:41.559 it possible the Red Sox fire Cora. I actually think 0:09:41.600 --> 0:09:43.640 they will. I think they will in the next thirty 0:09:43.720 --> 0:09:47.160 six hours, because look, Houston turnaround and fired their guys 0:09:47.240 --> 0:09:49.400 right away. Do they want this stench on them? I 0:09:49.440 --> 0:09:51.280 don't know. I think we haven't heard the last of this. 0:09:51.400 --> 0:09:54.800 I think this thing is actually sprawling if you want 0:09:54.800 --> 0:09:58.160 to know the truth. So we'll see sign where the 0:09:58.200 --> 0:10:01.240 best pictures are. Yeah, but is that really is that 0:10:01.320 --> 0:10:06.000 really Houston anymore? I mean there's Verlander there, there's Grenky there. 0:10:06.600 --> 0:10:08.760 Verlander was in on all this cold out that not 0:10:08.800 --> 0:10:11.600 there anymore. You're right, that's the thing, you k Q Wilson. 0:10:11.840 --> 0:10:13.440 And that's the thing that he says. The World series 0:10:13.480 --> 0:10:16.040 of Champs Ring are still on their finger. That's the thing. 0:10:16.240 --> 0:10:19.640 You're absolutely right. They still had a parade, And as 0:10:19.640 --> 0:10:22.040 a Yankees fan, I was still piste off and had 0:10:22.040 --> 0:10:23.440 the heart ripped out of me. If I was a 0:10:23.480 --> 0:10:25.760 Dodgers fan, I'd feel the same way. You could give 0:10:25.800 --> 0:10:28.400 Aaron Judge the two seventeen m v P. I don't 0:10:28.400 --> 0:10:30.520 get a parade. I don't get to as a grown 0:10:30.600 --> 0:10:34.360 man hug my best friends. I don't cry watching a 0:10:34.440 --> 0:10:38.040 TV screen. If they just stripped the Astros, that's what 0:10:38.120 --> 0:10:40.920 it's about for me. You know, you could stripped, they 0:10:40.960 --> 0:10:43.160 stripped like Reggie Bush of the Heisman. I don't know. 0:10:43.200 --> 0:10:48.120 You know, it doesn't matter, right, those fans still got 0:10:48.120 --> 0:10:51.719 to celebrate, and that's what it's really about, all right. 0:10:51.800 --> 0:10:56.000 So we'll keep talking about this. Um well, so keep 0:10:56.040 --> 0:10:58.360 talking about this as we go along with checking in 0:10:58.360 --> 0:11:00.880 the chat room and also on Touchable, Jay is talking 0:11:00.880 --> 0:11:03.880 about us the um the fancy who got hired by 0:11:03.920 --> 0:11:06.280 the Cleveland Browns and let's go there, the Browns doing fire. 0:11:06.840 --> 0:11:10.160 UM hire him. He used to be the Vikings offensive coordinator, 0:11:10.280 --> 0:11:13.000 was in for De Filippo when he was the offensive coordinator. 0:11:13.320 --> 0:11:16.920 This is a guy who was with this organization for 0:11:16.960 --> 0:11:19.720 fourteen years, kind of moving all the way up, so 0:11:19.880 --> 0:11:21.640 I get it. Listen, he could be a great excess 0:11:21.640 --> 0:11:24.280 and those guy My question is this and a guy 0:11:24.320 --> 0:11:27.200 taking his first head coaching job. The problem with Cleveland 0:11:27.240 --> 0:11:30.280 to me is the idea of they needed an adult 0:11:30.320 --> 0:11:32.880 in the room, They needed a respected voice in the room. 0:11:33.080 --> 0:11:35.880 I'm not usually one for retreads, right, but I wonder 0:11:35.920 --> 0:11:37.840 if this guy getting his first ever crack at the 0:11:37.840 --> 0:11:41.640 big chair is gonna be able to deal with the drama, 0:11:41.720 --> 0:11:44.920 the pr the personalities that are there. You needed a 0:11:45.080 --> 0:11:47.560 kind of unifying presence and a voice that everyone had 0:11:47.600 --> 0:11:50.800 to be behind. And I just don't know if Stefanski 0:11:51.040 --> 0:11:53.640 is that the Broncos have hired Pat Shermer to be 0:11:53.720 --> 0:11:56.760 their new offensive coordinator. I wonder what what the Broncos 0:11:56.800 --> 0:11:58.400 was gonna come down to is are they all in 0:11:58.440 --> 0:12:00.680 on Drew Lock or not? And we'll see that in 0:12:00.720 --> 0:12:02.959 free agency. I plan after the Super Bowl as we 0:12:03.000 --> 0:12:04.960 get into free agency to do a big thing about 0:12:05.040 --> 0:12:06.880 like all the quarterback merry go around, where they go, 0:12:06.960 --> 0:12:09.160 where they might not go, and a big question of 0:12:09.240 --> 0:12:12.120 that is are the Denver Broncos all in on Drew Lock. 0:12:12.320 --> 0:12:14.800 We'll see what Pat Shermer thinks. Apparently he scouted him 0:12:14.800 --> 0:12:17.040 and liked them in the draft as well, because I 0:12:17.040 --> 0:12:19.640 remember they were looking a get Daniel Jones um. And 0:12:19.679 --> 0:12:23.400 you know what some interesting news of the weird. Did 0:12:23.400 --> 0:12:26.480 you see you over the weekend? Julian Edelman jumping on 0:12:26.520 --> 0:12:31.319 the hood of a car in California? What is this? 0:12:31.880 --> 0:12:33.640 You know? Because with the fans key going to Cleveland, 0:12:33.640 --> 0:12:36.280 a lot of people are now thinking about, well, that 0:12:36.280 --> 0:12:39.480 means Josh McDaniels isn't so, so what is the is 0:12:39.480 --> 0:12:43.520 the band back together in New England? McDaniels, Brady Bill Edelman? 0:12:43.840 --> 0:12:46.680 Is this a new Patriot way? Jumping on hoods of 0:12:46.720 --> 0:12:50.920 cars getting arrested? But it is nothing compared to what 0:12:50.960 --> 0:12:53.520 we saw out of Antonio Brown to day. If you 0:12:53.559 --> 0:12:56.040 don't know what I'm talking about, go to my twitter 0:12:56.080 --> 0:12:59.560 feed at spitting Speeds, I posted a video. Let's just say, 0:12:59.600 --> 0:13:03.520 antone Yo Brown thought it fit to live stream an 0:13:03.679 --> 0:13:07.440 interaction he had with the police with his kids and 0:13:07.559 --> 0:13:10.960 his baby mama in the middle of the street. And 0:13:11.040 --> 0:13:14.040 let's just say, and I'm not joking that it also 0:13:14.200 --> 0:13:19.000 involved a bag of gummy penises. I'm I'm not joking. 0:13:20.520 --> 0:13:22.800 Go to the Twitter feed and check it out. It's ridiculous. 0:13:22.800 --> 0:13:26.040 The man is not well. All right, Um, so that's 0:13:26.080 --> 0:13:28.040 what we're dealing with, and they'll be all that. Good job, 0:13:28.160 --> 0:13:30.040 but let's talk about for real, for real, and you 0:13:30.080 --> 0:13:31.840 know what, actually before we do that. One other thing, 0:13:32.280 --> 0:13:35.960 I thought it was really nice, uh that over this weekend, 0:13:36.360 --> 0:13:39.880 on both Saturday and Sunday, they came on studio and 0:13:39.920 --> 0:13:44.199 decided to honor and announced Bill Kawar and Jimmy Johnson's 0:13:44.320 --> 0:13:46.640 uh you know, kind of Hall of Fame entry. I 0:13:46.679 --> 0:13:48.720 thought that was a really nice moment. It happened on Saturday, 0:13:48.760 --> 0:13:50.720 it happened on Sunday. I thought it was really cool 0:13:50.760 --> 0:13:53.280 to see these grown men break down and cry like 0:13:53.400 --> 0:13:56.080 little boys and get emotional and think when you see 0:13:56.120 --> 0:13:58.079 the payoff of all that hard work and they kind 0:13:58.120 --> 0:14:00.679 of get to that life's goal, I thought it was 0:14:00.760 --> 0:14:03.319 really cool. I thought it was absolutely cool, and I 0:14:03.320 --> 0:14:06.120 hope they do that again whenever fit, when they have 0:14:06.160 --> 0:14:08.160 the opportunity to do that, I thought it was really 0:14:08.160 --> 0:14:10.280 really cool. So we tip our cap to the Hall 0:14:10.320 --> 0:14:14.040 of Fame. All right, takeaways from these games. Two of 0:14:14.080 --> 0:14:17.079 the themes that I have been saying all season long. 0:14:19.760 --> 0:14:22.680 One is that teams need balance right in the run game. 0:14:22.680 --> 0:14:24.960 I've talked about the commitment to the run game, trying 0:14:25.000 --> 0:14:27.160 to prevent you from getting forced out of the game 0:14:27.400 --> 0:14:30.240 script and becoming a volume thrower. It doesn't matter if 0:14:30.280 --> 0:14:32.680 you're Kirk Cousins, if you're Matt Ryan, if you Philip Rivers. 0:14:32.800 --> 0:14:34.480 I've said it all season, you don't want to become 0:14:34.480 --> 0:14:37.520 a volume thrower. Right. And and at the beginning of 0:14:37.520 --> 0:14:40.040 the season, we talked about the running back being devalued, 0:14:40.560 --> 0:14:43.640 Zeke Elliott, Melvin Gordon right holding out and it wasn't 0:14:43.680 --> 0:14:45.880 really worth it. And the distinction I want to make 0:14:45.880 --> 0:14:48.760 here is the running back, the single running back is 0:14:48.800 --> 0:14:51.280 being devalued in the NFL. But what the postseason teaches 0:14:51.400 --> 0:14:53.520 us and what I've been saying for months, and if 0:14:53.560 --> 0:14:55.200 you get the status Beats Cipher, you know that I 0:14:55.240 --> 0:14:56.760 don't just give you a fish. I teach you how 0:14:56.800 --> 0:15:00.560 to fish. The running back is overrated, but a running 0:15:00.600 --> 0:15:04.360 game is underrated. And that was a big theme that 0:15:04.440 --> 0:15:05.800 we've been seeing the playoffs and the other one of 0:15:05.880 --> 0:15:08.520 these dudes just making plays. I've been saying it about 0:15:08.600 --> 0:15:11.680 Russell and about Patty, and about Lamar and about this Sean. 0:15:12.240 --> 0:15:16.000 But what what what struck me this week is that 0:15:16.040 --> 0:15:19.160 it wasn't like, yeah, they made incredible plays. I'll throw 0:15:19.200 --> 0:15:22.760 Anon Rodgers in there as well, but it's a lot 0:15:22.800 --> 0:15:24.800 of like these little small ones that you don't really 0:15:24.800 --> 0:15:27.960 talk about as much. I saw, for example, Russell Wilson 0:15:27.960 --> 0:15:30.400 should have been sacked on one random play. It was 0:15:30.440 --> 0:15:32.640 the second down play, and he should have been sacked 0:15:32.640 --> 0:15:35.280 for like six yards, but he did something ridiculous and 0:15:35.280 --> 0:15:38.280 wound up like gaining three. And that's the difference between 0:15:38.400 --> 0:15:42.640 third and sixteen and like third and five in this situation. 0:15:42.840 --> 0:15:45.520 And if little things like that that, you know, obviously 0:15:45.560 --> 0:15:48.800 the announcers will make a point about it, but it's 0:15:48.880 --> 0:15:51.920 just so big and these dudes just continue to make 0:15:51.920 --> 0:15:54.920 plays rolling out, you know, eight yard passes to Hollister, 0:15:55.360 --> 0:15:59.120 finding Davante Adams. When they're extending plays, you know, hitting 0:15:59.120 --> 0:16:02.359 Will Fuller or Duke Johnson out of the backfield, extending 0:16:02.360 --> 0:16:05.160 and rolling out and then forcing the defense to make 0:16:05.200 --> 0:16:07.440 a decision. Am I gonna run? Where I boom right there? 0:16:07.480 --> 0:16:10.160 To Travis Kelsey. All of these dudes can do that, 0:16:10.440 --> 0:16:12.400 all right, And that and the balance in the run game, 0:16:12.680 --> 0:16:14.480 or really what I'm seeing is running to day in 0:16:14.480 --> 0:16:16.680 this two thousand and nineteen NFL. So first of all, 0:16:16.720 --> 0:16:18.840 let's talk about Tennessee in Baltimore, and this is what 0:16:18.920 --> 0:16:20.960 it comes down to. What do you respect that's a 0:16:21.000 --> 0:16:24.760 defensive coordinator. You have to respect Derrick Henry, right, he 0:16:24.840 --> 0:16:31.160 goes off again yards. But with Tannehill, they represent the 0:16:31.240 --> 0:16:34.960 potential of the play action game, of the throwing game, 0:16:35.000 --> 0:16:37.360 of being able to go over the top. We've seen it. 0:16:37.360 --> 0:16:40.320 It doesn't matter if he he only completed like seven balls, 0:16:40.800 --> 0:16:44.040 but it doesn't matter because if they need to, they 0:16:44.040 --> 0:16:45.760 can do that. It was so much that Bill Belichick 0:16:45.800 --> 0:16:48.560 thought that was the right hand to take away right now. 0:16:48.560 --> 0:16:51.160 With the Ravens, of course you respect Lamar, but when 0:16:51.160 --> 0:16:55.160 you're down fourteen nothing right. You can start to play 0:16:55.200 --> 0:16:58.360 a little bit differently, and even Lamar would admit that 0:16:58.400 --> 0:17:01.800 he has development in terms of throwing outside the numbers. 0:17:02.200 --> 0:17:05.479 The Titans had a unique opportunity to force that. I 0:17:05.520 --> 0:17:09.040 said early in the season they didn't want Lamar Jackson 0:17:09.080 --> 0:17:12.400 becoming a volume thrower. This is not an indictment on Lamor. 0:17:12.520 --> 0:17:14.199 I'm not one of those guys being like, oh, the 0:17:14.280 --> 0:17:18.200 m v P season was food gaz, It's not. I'm 0:17:18.200 --> 0:17:20.879 not gonna here throw all sorts of shade at Lamar. 0:17:20.960 --> 0:17:24.000 He was amazing. Okay. What is important is that they 0:17:24.000 --> 0:17:25.840 play from a head, that they get out early. We've 0:17:25.880 --> 0:17:29.000 always known that these teams weren't able able to force 0:17:29.080 --> 0:17:32.800 them into that. Well, look at what happened. Lamar Jackson 0:17:32.840 --> 0:17:36.600 had fifty nine attempts. That's not what the Ravens want. 0:17:36.920 --> 0:17:39.199 It is no surprise that in there he turned the 0:17:39.200 --> 0:17:42.320 ball over three times. The question is, when you get 0:17:42.359 --> 0:17:45.399 punched in the mouth, do you have something else to 0:17:45.560 --> 0:17:48.280 go to? The Titans have demonstrated that they do. They 0:17:48.280 --> 0:17:50.480 haven't had to with Derrick Henry running for over a 0:17:50.520 --> 0:17:53.440 hundred eighty yards all the time, but they demonstrate that 0:17:53.480 --> 0:17:55.600 they have to, so you have to leave a safety back. 0:17:55.840 --> 0:17:58.080 When Lamar and the Ravens are running right and they 0:17:58.119 --> 0:18:01.000 do play action, there's guys running wide open all over 0:18:01.040 --> 0:18:03.600 the field because of the running game. You don't have 0:18:03.680 --> 0:18:05.720 to do that. When you're down by three scores. It's 0:18:05.720 --> 0:18:08.160 a different thing. We'll talk about the other three games 0:18:08.200 --> 0:18:10.680 will do speeds versus the kids, I hope with the 0:18:10.720 --> 0:18:13.680 fund and functional sports content as well.
