1
00:00:01,200 --> 00:00:20,239
Speaker 1: The volume What is going on Everybody Three and Out podcast.

2
00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:25,079
Speaker 1: It's about eight twenty at night. Just witnessed the Tampa

3
00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:28,240
Speaker 1: Bay Bucks. You know, I know the final score, at

4
00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:30,360
Speaker 1: least when I left the television was nine nothing. But

5
00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:32,720
Speaker 1: they got their ass kicked, they got they got worked,

6
00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:36,159
Speaker 1: they got throttled. We'll dive into that bad boy right

7
00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:41,960
Speaker 1: off the top. The Arizona Cardinals didn't just lose today,

8
00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:46,720
Speaker 1: they got destroyed. Have a couple takes there, some thoughts,

9
00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:50,360
Speaker 1: and then let's go a little throwback. I have some

10
00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:53,959
Speaker 1: thoughts on Belichick and the Indianapolis game that was Saturday night.

11
00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:57,000
Speaker 1: I love a good Saturday night NFL game. At the

12
00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:01,440
Speaker 1: end of December, there was a couple of big moments today.

13
00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:05,760
Speaker 1: I know Green Bay and Baltimore. Listen, I'm not first take,

14
00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:08,160
Speaker 1: I'm not blowing smoke up your ass. I didn't watch

15
00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:10,679
Speaker 1: most of that game. The two point conversion, I have

16
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:14,040
Speaker 1: seen it, but I'll talk go into more in depth

17
00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:16,600
Speaker 1: with that game on Tuesday's pot. I don't I don't

18
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:19,000
Speaker 1: fake y out. If I don't watch something, I don't

19
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:22,039
Speaker 1: pretend to just to talk about it. Obviously, that's a

20
00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:25,559
Speaker 1: really big story today, and we've talked a lot about

21
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:27,399
Speaker 1: going for twos. You know, I don't know if it's

22
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:30,520
Speaker 1: really that shocking, but just overall, that game impressive. He's

23
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:32,880
Speaker 1: done that with Tyler Huntley. As someone who's watched a

24
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:36,399
Speaker 1: lot of Pac twelve football, not in a million years

25
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:39,720
Speaker 1: would I have imagined one. I never would imagine Tyler

26
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:43,319
Speaker 1: Huntley would have made an NFL team. And I saw it.

27
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:46,200
Speaker 1: I just saw a stat line today. Let alone started

28
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:49,600
Speaker 1: games in the NFL and played well, and it wasn't

29
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:51,640
Speaker 1: This isn't the first time he started or played well.

30
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:54,360
Speaker 1: I mean, the guy has blown me away. So a

31
00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:57,600
Speaker 1: lot of credit to Hardbaugh in Greg Roman. But we'll

32
00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:00,360
Speaker 1: die much more into that game on Tuesday show, as

33
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:02,320
Speaker 1: well as some other stuff. But we got we got

34
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:05,640
Speaker 1: games on two on Monday, two on Tuesday. It's hard

35
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:08,840
Speaker 1: to keep up with the reshuffling. We'll try subscribe to

36
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:12,600
Speaker 1: the podcast. Leave a review. Middlecoff mailbag will answer on

37
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:15,520
Speaker 1: Tuesday show at John Middlecoff. Is the Instagram slide up

38
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:17,880
Speaker 1: into those dms. But let's start with tonight, and let's

39
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:21,600
Speaker 1: start with Tampa. And this isn't that complicated. Last year,

40
00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:23,800
Speaker 1: Tom Brady a big reason he won the Super Bowl

41
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:27,040
Speaker 1: was because he upgraded rosters. The team that we saw

42
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:30,200
Speaker 1: in New England in twenty nineteen wasn't that good, right,

43
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:33,640
Speaker 1: They lacked players on offense. And then when he went

44
00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:38,800
Speaker 1: to Tampa Bay, he inherited godwinned Evans, They had Jones,

45
00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:42,120
Speaker 1: but then they add Leonard Fournette, and they add Antonio Brown,

46
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:45,040
Speaker 1: and they add Rob Gronkowski and they clearly by the

47
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:46,959
Speaker 1: end of the season the playoffs just had a ton

48
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:50,200
Speaker 1: of weapons. You could argue, you know, Evans and Godwin

49
00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:52,680
Speaker 1: like in their primes. I know Gronk's older, Leonard Fournette

50
00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:54,880
Speaker 1: the way he was playing, that's that's a high level

51
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:57,560
Speaker 1: roster for Brady. Even if you look back up his

52
00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:00,840
Speaker 1: twenty year career, Well, we just witnessed against the Saints

53
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:03,959
Speaker 1: like that, ain't it. He has no chance to beat

54
00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:07,839
Speaker 1: good defenses. With Evans getting hurt, with Fournette getting hurt,

55
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:11,800
Speaker 1: like with Antonio Brown nowhere to be found, god went injured,

56
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:14,600
Speaker 1: like all these injuries, he's not going to be able

57
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:17,200
Speaker 1: to overcome that. He is not Lamar Jackson. He can't

58
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:19,880
Speaker 1: run around right, He's just not going to be able

59
00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:21,799
Speaker 1: to do that at forty four years old. They've never

60
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:23,880
Speaker 1: been able to do that. But we've seen him in

61
00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:27,440
Speaker 1: New England when they've had guys go down or injuries,

62
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:30,639
Speaker 1: Like it's a problem that would happen to Joe Montana,

63
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:33,160
Speaker 1: that would happen to anybody. Like he was playing with

64
00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:35,600
Speaker 1: some random guys today and it did not go well.

65
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:39,600
Speaker 1: He struggled. The Saints got after him. Divisional games. They

66
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:43,000
Speaker 1: clearly have his number, like the Saints clearly. And this

67
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:47,360
Speaker 1: happens in divisions, it happens a lot in college and conferences, right,

68
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:50,880
Speaker 1: Like Auburn is not intimidated by Alabama. Doesn't mean they're

69
00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:52,840
Speaker 1: gonna beat them, but when they play them, they believe

70
00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:56,600
Speaker 1: they can beat them. The Saints, whether they're better in Tampa,

71
00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:59,200
Speaker 1: whether they're worse than Tampa when they play him the

72
00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:02,040
Speaker 1: last two years with Tom Brady, they are not intimidated

73
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:05,400
Speaker 1: by them at all. Sean Payton does not view Bruce

74
00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:08,640
Speaker 1: arians as a superior. He does not view that team,

75
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:11,120
Speaker 1: even if he's got to start Taysom Hill. He thinks

76
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 1: he can beat them, and they consistently do. And then

77
00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:16,360
Speaker 1: when you take away all of his weapons, like it's

78
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:19,200
Speaker 1: really not that shocking, but this was a big loss.

79
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:21,880
Speaker 1: They're not going to get the number one seed because

80
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:23,880
Speaker 1: the tiebreaker for number one seeds if some of these

81
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:26,600
Speaker 1: teams end up with the same division is conference record,

82
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:30,760
Speaker 1: and right now Dallas only has one loss. If Dallas

83
00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:34,160
Speaker 1: runs the table and green Bay loses a game, Dallas

84
00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:36,760
Speaker 1: will be the number one seed. If green Bay runs

85
00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:38,920
Speaker 1: the table, because they have one more win than Dallas,

86
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:41,880
Speaker 1: they will be the number one seed. So it's pretty clear.

87
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:45,640
Speaker 1: And Dallas plays, you know, Washington the football team. I

88
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:48,440
Speaker 1: think they play the Giants and they play the Eagles, right,

89
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:52,360
Speaker 1: the Packers, I'm pretty sure, play the Bears, the Browns,

90
00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:54,880
Speaker 1: and maybe the Lions. Like their schedule is pretty easy too.

91
00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:57,000
Speaker 1: Like the Bucks are playing in the first round of

92
00:04:57,040 --> 00:05:00,320
Speaker 1: the playoffs now they are, and honestly, there's probably pretty

93
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:03,520
Speaker 1: decent chance that they're the three seed, which could be

94
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:07,240
Speaker 1: the Niners. You know, that's a whole nother conversation. But

95
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:11,080
Speaker 1: they just with their injuries. Tom Brady's not gonna win

96
00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:14,160
Speaker 1: a Super Bowl if they don't get ninety percent of

97
00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:17,520
Speaker 1: these guys back healthy because their defensive backfield already is injured.

98
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:20,640
Speaker 1: Their front seven is excellent. They can stop the run,

99
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:22,960
Speaker 1: but it's they're not gonna be able to score with

100
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:25,000
Speaker 1: a bunch of random guys we've never seen. They have

101
00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:26,599
Speaker 1: to have those guys on the field. This is not

102
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:29,640
Speaker 1: breaking news and right now, and I've heard errands, they've

103
00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:32,240
Speaker 1: had injuries all season long. We'll see what happens to

104
00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:35,359
Speaker 1: four NET. But they're gonna have to, like last season,

105
00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:37,600
Speaker 1: play three games to get back to the super Bowl.

106
00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:41,200
Speaker 1: And that's really difficult. It's very, very hard to do now.

107
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:43,159
Speaker 1: Maybe it used to be like the one or two

108
00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:46,120
Speaker 1: seed historically always went to the super Bowl. We only

109
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:48,120
Speaker 1: have one year of data. I do they believe that's

110
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:51,480
Speaker 1: gonna change. It's gonna be more and more difficult for teams.

111
00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:54,240
Speaker 1: I bet the one seed is just gonna consistently go

112
00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:56,760
Speaker 1: to the super Bowl more often than not. It's just

113
00:05:56,800 --> 00:06:00,279
Speaker 1: a much easier path Gift Green Bay gets into again.

114
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:02,440
Speaker 1: There is no excuse for them to not go back

115
00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:04,120
Speaker 1: to the super Bowl. They have to win two games

116
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:06,600
Speaker 1: at Lambeau. Hell. I picked him last year. They let

117
00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:08,480
Speaker 1: me down because they didn't play that well against Tampa.

118
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:11,000
Speaker 1: Is Tampa gonna get there in the third round? We'll see.

119
00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:13,320
Speaker 1: You know, they need to get healthy, and they need

120
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:17,400
Speaker 1: to get healthy fast. I tweeted this out and it's

121
00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:20,440
Speaker 1: you know, Twitter as a hellhole. But we'll put this

122
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:24,080
Speaker 1: in the context. My sentiment on Taysom Hill is he

123
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:30,080
Speaker 1: is everything that the Tebow truthers wanted Tim Tebow to be. Now,

124
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:32,560
Speaker 1: I'm not talking about as a quarterback. I watched him

125
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:35,919
Speaker 1: as a quarterback. He's not good, neither was Tebow. But

126
00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:38,320
Speaker 1: the difference is we always like, could Tebow be an

127
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:40,880
Speaker 1: h back? Could Tebow become like Kyle us Check? Could

128
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:44,599
Speaker 1: Tebow play special teams? And the answer, as Urban Meyer

129
00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:48,320
Speaker 1: taught us, no chance. On God's Green Earth, he don't

130
00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:52,680
Speaker 1: want the smoke. He doesn't have that ability. Taysom Hill

131
00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:55,520
Speaker 1: has been a role player on one of the better

132
00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:58,320
Speaker 1: teams in the NFL for the last five years. I

133
00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:01,240
Speaker 1: don't know truly what his position is, h back, fullback,

134
00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:05,719
Speaker 1: tight end, whatever, he is a legitimate NFL player. Every

135
00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:08,039
Speaker 1: good team in the league would take him. They would

136
00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:11,640
Speaker 1: not use him at quarterback. John Payton's obsessed with it

137
00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:14,520
Speaker 1: right now. They're a little they have injuries or whatever.

138
00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:18,320
Speaker 1: But he is a fantastic role player. He's everything that

139
00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:20,720
Speaker 1: we wanted Tebow to be. He's a you see how

140
00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:23,000
Speaker 1: physical that guy is. I'd take him on my team

141
00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:26,840
Speaker 1: in a heartbeat. Special teams playing him on offense, using

142
00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:29,520
Speaker 1: him as a gadget player. He's a stut. Now you

143
00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:32,640
Speaker 1: gotta play him a quarterback. Hold on for your ass.

144
00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:36,720
Speaker 1: But I think people try to diminish how good this

145
00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:39,360
Speaker 1: guy is as an NFL player. I think he's fantastic

146
00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:44,360
Speaker 1: again as an offensive weapon, not as a quarterback. He's everything.

147
00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:48,120
Speaker 1: Urban Meyer dreamed of what Tebow would look like in

148
00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:50,240
Speaker 1: Jack's camp, and then he was the opposite and he

149
00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:53,200
Speaker 1: couldn't do it. He'll can. He'll's running over guys, running

150
00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:57,360
Speaker 1: through guys. Tough as shit. I'm a fan of Taysom

151
00:07:57,440 --> 00:08:02,200
Speaker 1: Hill as a role player, not center. But Sean Payton

152
00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:04,760
Speaker 1: proves again why he makes fifteen million dollars a year.

153
00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:08,680
Speaker 1: They have no business Jamis two months ago or whatever

154
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:12,240
Speaker 1: tears his acl How I would have been like, the

155
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:15,480
Speaker 1: Saints are gonna end up six and what's the new record?

156
00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:18,200
Speaker 1: Six and eleven. They're seven and seven and more than

157
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:20,960
Speaker 1: likely they'll get to nine and seven, a little bit

158
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:23,560
Speaker 1: like the Steelers. You go, how are the Steelers doing it?

159
00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:26,160
Speaker 1: You look up their seven six and one. There is

160
00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:31,120
Speaker 1: winning cultures that these high end coaches, they make twelve, thirteen,

161
00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:34,680
Speaker 1: fifteen million dollars. They're paid a premium for a reason,

162
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:37,280
Speaker 1: because you know what you're getting. And like I said,

163
00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:39,360
Speaker 1: with Belichick, and we'll talk about him a little bit later,

164
00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:43,360
Speaker 1: anyone can handle the good times. How do you handle adversity?

165
00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:46,040
Speaker 1: How do you handle when guys go down? How do

166
00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:49,160
Speaker 1: you handle when there's a quarterback issue? I see, I

167
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:51,920
Speaker 1: see Matt Ruhlep handling adversity. They're gonna win five games.

168
00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:56,920
Speaker 1: They suck, They're terrible. I've seen Belichick in his lowest

169
00:08:56,960 --> 00:09:00,040
Speaker 1: moment in twenty twenty, he went seven and nine. Do

170
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:02,320
Speaker 1: you know what David Tepper would do to win seven games?

171
00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:05,200
Speaker 1: A lot? They're not gonna sniff it. And I'm not

172
00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:06,839
Speaker 1: even trying to pick on Matt rule. A lot of

173
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:10,440
Speaker 1: coaches are that way, the high end guys. They just win.

174
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:16,240
Speaker 1: Let's go to Cliff Kingsbury. The reasons, I really two reasons.

175
00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:19,120
Speaker 1: I fundamentally never bought into him. I've said over and over.

176
00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:22,880
Speaker 1: I knew people that knew the guy. They swore by

177
00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:25,440
Speaker 1: them by Cliff Kingsbury. The guys that used to go

178
00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:28,480
Speaker 1: into Texas Tech meet him, they loved him. I'm talking

179
00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:31,520
Speaker 1: people that went the entire country, met every head coach

180
00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:34,760
Speaker 1: over the years in the scouting community. They said Cliff

181
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:37,920
Speaker 1: was as cool as any as just being a good

182
00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:40,920
Speaker 1: guy being you open the door, do whatever you needed

183
00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:43,920
Speaker 1: for him. He was as NFL friendly, just as nice

184
00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:46,440
Speaker 1: as down to earth as a guy. I remember watching

185
00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:49,520
Speaker 1: an ESPN you they did this behind the scenes of

186
00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:52,360
Speaker 1: Texas tech on him and he gets to the office

187
00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:54,520
Speaker 1: like three thirty in the morning. His dad was a marine.

188
00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:57,320
Speaker 1: I would like to be friends with the human being.

189
00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:01,480
Speaker 1: But from a football standpoint, phillis offically never been that

190
00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:04,720
Speaker 1: into the spread offense. Never have. It's not my cup

191
00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:07,880
Speaker 1: of tea. Doesn't mean I'm right. Works for Lincoln Riley,

192
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:10,360
Speaker 1: works for Mike Leach, works for a lot of people.

193
00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:15,080
Speaker 1: It's not my thing. I was raised Pat Hill, old

194
00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:18,320
Speaker 1: school pro style offense and then Andy Reid, which is

195
00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:20,800
Speaker 1: more of a you know, back then it was more

196
00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:23,760
Speaker 1: West Coast. Now it's morphed into the Mahomes offense. But

197
00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:26,280
Speaker 1: I have some fundamental beliefs. The way I like football

198
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:28,920
Speaker 1: and the way Cliff used football and the way I

199
00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:32,920
Speaker 1: view football are just fundamentally different. Doesn't mean I think

200
00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:35,400
Speaker 1: he's a bad guy or whatever. I just never believed.

201
00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:38,320
Speaker 1: And the other reason I didn't buy into him because

202
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:42,679
Speaker 1: he's based it off his coaching history. He never won.

203
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:46,440
Speaker 1: Now you go at Texas Tech, it is difficult to

204
00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:50,600
Speaker 1: win there. I agree people should not be beating Oklahoma

205
00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:53,920
Speaker 1: or Texas at Texas Tech. Well, I saw Mike Leach.

206
00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:57,040
Speaker 1: He consistently won there, he overachieved. And then I saw

207
00:10:57,080 --> 00:11:00,280
Speaker 1: Mike Leach go to Washington State win there. I'm going

208
00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:03,600
Speaker 1: to Mississippi State having some success there. If you're a

209
00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:07,040
Speaker 1: good coach, you win, you know what, wherever the hell

210
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:10,120
Speaker 1: you go. That's what good coaches do. What I just

211
00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:13,240
Speaker 1: said about Sean Payton found a way shit hitting the

212
00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:16,960
Speaker 1: fan starting quarterback, who's Jamis Winston in the first place?

213
00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:19,959
Speaker 1: Tears acl They're gonna get to nine wins. Tip my

214
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:25,400
Speaker 1: hat to him. That's impressive. Mike Tomlin, how is this happening?

215
00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:28,120
Speaker 1: He'll end up going eight seven and one or something.

216
00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:30,480
Speaker 1: You're like, dude, just wins. I guess that wouldn't even

217
00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:32,520
Speaker 1: add up. Maybe it'd be eight eight and one whatever.

218
00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:35,680
Speaker 1: Find a way to win when he has no business winning,

219
00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:39,840
Speaker 1: you know why, because winners win for whatever reason. And

220
00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:41,960
Speaker 1: this year I said it after the Monday Night game.

221
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:45,240
Speaker 1: I gave the Cardinals the benefit of the doubt. On

222
00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:49,040
Speaker 1: Monday Night against the Rams. They were not the desperate team.

223
00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:51,920
Speaker 1: The Rams had to win that game. Hell, the Niners

224
00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:54,319
Speaker 1: were chasing them down for the fifth seed. They were

225
00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:57,319
Speaker 1: desperate Stafford, they needed to get it going, and they

226
00:11:57,360 --> 00:12:01,560
Speaker 1: won a game. I said, every single human being involved

227
00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:04,680
Speaker 1: with the Arizona Cardinals through thirteen games would have signed

228
00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:07,560
Speaker 1: up for ten wins. So I gave him. I gave

229
00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:11,800
Speaker 1: him a pass on that thing. But and I allow

230
00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:15,480
Speaker 1: for really good teams, playoff level teams, to lose a

231
00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:18,600
Speaker 1: game in December to a team with two or three wins.

232
00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:22,480
Speaker 1: It's understandable, it happens every single year, but you are

233
00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:25,600
Speaker 1: not allowed to lose that game coming off a loss.

234
00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:28,680
Speaker 1: You can lose that game off three or four straight wins.

235
00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:32,599
Speaker 1: You cannot lose to a team who's going to be

236
00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:35,319
Speaker 1: drafting in the top five when you have double digit

237
00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:39,160
Speaker 1: wins in earlier mid December coming off a loss, because

238
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:42,080
Speaker 1: you should be desperate. You're still fighting for I don't

239
00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:46,160
Speaker 1: know the number one seed, but in what world would

240
00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:49,680
Speaker 1: we think? And listen? I apologized earlier because he was

241
00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:51,960
Speaker 1: doing some winning, and I meant it. He had earned

242
00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:54,480
Speaker 1: it winning, you know, being nine and three or whatever

243
00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:57,840
Speaker 1: the hell they were. But when you didn't lose to

244
00:12:57,880 --> 00:13:01,520
Speaker 1: the Lions, you were down seventeen nothing. That was as

245
00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:05,880
Speaker 1: gutless and as just you mailed it in. None of

246
00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:09,040
Speaker 1: your players cared, because you don't. You're not down seventeen

247
00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:12,480
Speaker 1: nothing through the Detroit Lions and Jared Goff if you care,

248
00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:16,800
Speaker 1: it's just not possible. You have dramatically better players than them.

249
00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:21,160
Speaker 1: Even with DeAndre Hopkins going on injured reserve potentially for

250
00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:23,520
Speaker 1: the rest of the season. You still have Rondale Moore,

251
00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:26,079
Speaker 1: you still have Christian Kirk, you still have a j

252
00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:29,720
Speaker 1: Green who's played really well, and you still have Kyler Murray.

253
00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:34,760
Speaker 1: And you lost thirty to twelve. You're allowed to lose

254
00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:37,959
Speaker 1: a game the Ravens lost to the Packers. You are

255
00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:40,800
Speaker 1: not allowed to lose to get ben over by a

256
00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:44,080
Speaker 1: team who now is drafting number two overall and for

257
00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:46,839
Speaker 1: me to take you seriously. And here's the problem for

258
00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:51,640
Speaker 1: the Cardinals. They blew it last year. They got throttled

259
00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:54,640
Speaker 1: down the stretch and missed the playoffs. Now I think

260
00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:57,320
Speaker 1: it's impossible for them to miss the playoffs with ten wins,

261
00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:01,920
Speaker 1: but their next two games they play the Colts this week.

262
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:04,760
Speaker 1: Now they get them in Arizona. In what world of

263
00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:08,080
Speaker 1: the teams you've watched in recent memory, would any human

264
00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:12,840
Speaker 1: being pick the Arizona Cardinals over the Colts. I'm not

265
00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:18,240
Speaker 1: going to do it. Then they played Dallas at Dallas. Listen,

266
00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:21,000
Speaker 1: they better show some desperate They better throw the kitchen

267
00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:23,960
Speaker 1: sink at Indianapolis because you lose that game all of

268
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:26,520
Speaker 1: a sudden. You've lost three straight going to Dallas. Were

269
00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:28,640
Speaker 1: more than likely is coming off a win against Washington.

270
00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:30,920
Speaker 1: It's going to be coming off a short week, and

271
00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:32,280
Speaker 1: then all of a sudden, you look up, you're ten

272
00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:36,280
Speaker 1: and six, and all of a sudden, Kingsbury And rightfully so.

273
00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:40,479
Speaker 1: The moment Lincoln Riley left a usc they floated out immediately.

274
00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:44,840
Speaker 1: Oklahoma was interested in Cliff Kingsbury. And I understand if

275
00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:47,000
Speaker 1: I was his business, if I was his agent or

276
00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:50,480
Speaker 1: his manager, I would have done the same thing. News flash,

277
00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:53,640
Speaker 1: Oklahoma was never interested in Cliff Kingsbury. Not in a

278
00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:56,760
Speaker 1: million years were they gonna hire Cliff Kingsbury. It would

279
00:14:56,880 --> 00:14:59,720
Speaker 1: never have happened, and it wasn't going to happen. And

280
00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:02,840
Speaker 1: if Michael Bidwell had has a brain, and I've watched

281
00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:05,840
Speaker 1: him on Hard Knocks. He's a smart guy. He knows

282
00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:08,560
Speaker 1: it's not true. And now they're in a position with

283
00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:10,160
Speaker 1: this guy. You know, I think he signed a four

284
00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:12,840
Speaker 1: year contract. This is year three. What are you gonna

285
00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:15,640
Speaker 1: do with Kingsbury? We see the big boy coaches. They

286
00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:18,280
Speaker 1: make twelve fifteen million dollars a year. In no world

287
00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:21,440
Speaker 1: can you pay Kingsbury that, especially if these next couple

288
00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:23,840
Speaker 1: of weeks you'll lose. Now, if he figures out and

289
00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:26,600
Speaker 1: you win, you win some playoff games. Listen, you could

290
00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:29,320
Speaker 1: make fun of me and replay this all you want.

291
00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:32,960
Speaker 1: I don't see it happening. I think they're the team

292
00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:35,840
Speaker 1: that everyone has circled. I want to play in first round,

293
00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:38,480
Speaker 1: in the first round, and who knows, they're not even

294
00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:40,520
Speaker 1: a guarantee. We'll see what happens with the Rams in

295
00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:44,360
Speaker 1: Seattle on Tuesday night. All of a sudden, the Rams

296
00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:48,640
Speaker 1: can catch them, like Arizona is no lock to win

297
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:52,560
Speaker 1: to win the NFC West. And if you start like

298
00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:54,440
Speaker 1: you just did, and you were the number seed for

299
00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:56,560
Speaker 1: the number one seed for the majority of the season,

300
00:15:56,960 --> 00:16:01,280
Speaker 1: and then you don't even win your own division, No way.

301
00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:03,360
Speaker 1: On God's green ear. If I could extend Cliff Kingsbury,

302
00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:05,360
Speaker 1: I couldn't do it. Now. I get he's tied with

303
00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:08,600
Speaker 1: the quarterback, but I don't know. Man again, good guy,

304
00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:11,760
Speaker 1: I'd be I'd hang out with him fundamentally philosophically. We

305
00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:14,560
Speaker 1: just don't see football the same way. And listen, some

306
00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:15,840
Speaker 1: of my friends I wouldn't want to work with. I

307
00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:18,160
Speaker 1: wouldn't want him to be my head coach. Nothing wrong

308
00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:20,840
Speaker 1: with him as a as a you know, as a guy.

309
00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:25,040
Speaker 1: Just I'm betting against him when it gets important, because

310
00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:28,320
Speaker 1: that's what history shows. There's a reason USC bet on

311
00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:32,680
Speaker 1: Lincoln Riley. Hell, there's a reason LSU bet on Brian Kelly.

312
00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:35,000
Speaker 1: They have a track record of winning. This guy is

313
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:37,440
Speaker 1: no track record of winning. So how can we be

314
00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:39,440
Speaker 1: shocked that he's not winning some of these big games?

315
00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:43,760
Speaker 1: But now it gets really tough the Colts and then Dallas.

316
00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:47,800
Speaker 1: Now Dallas doesn't look great. But good luck, man, good luck.

317
00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:52,280
Speaker 1: I am not feeling good about their chances coming down

318

346
00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:20,440
Speaker 1: I am not a Mac Jones hater. I respect Mac

347
00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:23,200
Speaker 1: Jones as a player. I think for a rookie, he's

348
00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:26,760
Speaker 1: been fantastic. One thing jumps out to me that I

349
00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:29,600
Speaker 1: respect the most about quarterbacks that we don't talk about enough.

350
00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:31,040
Speaker 1: If you listen to me for a while, you know

351
00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:34,560
Speaker 1: how much I think it matters for the position is toughness,

352
00:18:35,119 --> 00:18:38,240
Speaker 1: and that guy is tough. Every time he gets hit,

353
00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:40,480
Speaker 1: he pops right back up, and he is I've seen

354
00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:44,120
Speaker 1: him get throttled this year, so we know he's accurate.

355
00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:47,400
Speaker 1: We know his football intelligence to handle that offense. It's impressive.

356
00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:50,160
Speaker 1: And to be that tough as a rookie in the NFL.

357
00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:53,520
Speaker 1: Like I respect the shit out of Mac Jones, but

358
00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:56,840
Speaker 1: a skill set I don't love now, As you know,

359
00:18:57,080 --> 00:18:59,440
Speaker 1: I'm more of a sucker for a stronger arm quarterback

360
00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:03,440
Speaker 1: Max Jones. Arm is average at best, and physically he's

361
00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:07,760
Speaker 1: nothing special relative to NFL players. He has lived a very,

362
00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:11,480
Speaker 1: very charmed life this year. And that's I mean. He

363
00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:14,679
Speaker 1: was drafted into a team that turns out has one

364
00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:17,320
Speaker 1: of the best defenses in the league. It's hard to

365
00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:20,080
Speaker 1: run on them until Jonathan Taylor bust is that long play.

366
00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:25,359
Speaker 1: That front seven they have is fantastic. Their secondary mccordy's

367
00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:27,200
Speaker 1: gonna go down is one of the better Patriots ever.

368
00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:31,000
Speaker 1: J C. Jackson I look last night, he's going to

369
00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:33,920
Speaker 1: be a free agent. I don't see how Bill Belichick

370
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:37,280
Speaker 1: doesn't give him a massive contract this offseason. That dude

371
00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:42,280
Speaker 1: is a baller. Their defense is awesome. Curson Wentz how

372
00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:46,359
Speaker 1: many yards he throw for last night? Fifty? Their running

373
00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:48,760
Speaker 1: game this season has been awesome as well as well

374
00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:51,120
Speaker 1: as they're two tight ends, which I just give Belichick credit.

375
00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:53,720
Speaker 1: He's signed Hunter Henry and he signed Johnny Smith. But

376
00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:56,159
Speaker 1: they are not an explosive team and partly they just

377
00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:58,720
Speaker 1: don't have great wide receivers. But even if they did, like,

378
00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:02,280
Speaker 1: that's not really gonna be ma own thing. Well, last night,

379
00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:03,840
Speaker 1: or I guess two nights ago. If you're listening, it's

380
00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:06,000
Speaker 1: on Monday. When he gets down on the road against

381
00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:10,919
Speaker 1: a playoff team, he ain't coming back. My only regret

382
00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:13,320
Speaker 1: is when I bet five hundred dollars on the Colts

383
00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:16,720
Speaker 1: that I shouldn't have parlayed them with Oregon State. I

384
00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:19,560
Speaker 1: am so mad at Oregon State right now, but that's

385
00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:23,320
Speaker 1: my own stupidity. I felt very, very confident about Indie

386
00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:27,040
Speaker 1: winning that game. One they're at home off of by

387
00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:30,359
Speaker 1: so Is the Patriots in a must win game against

388
00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:32,680
Speaker 1: a rookie quarterback. Yeah, he's been one of the better

389
00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:35,080
Speaker 1: rookie quarterbacks in the last twenty years. I don't give

390
00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:38,280
Speaker 1: a shit. If you've watched him play, you went that's

391
00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:40,959
Speaker 1: a bad matchup for mac Jones. Now I need him

392
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:43,560
Speaker 1: to get down and he did right away. He was screwed.

393
00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:46,520
Speaker 1: I thought the game was over at fourteen nothing, because

394
00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:48,680
Speaker 1: he's not unless Carson Wentz turned it over, and he

395
00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:50,639
Speaker 1: did and he made it a little closer. But I

396
00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:53,119
Speaker 1: never felt that game was in doubt. He is not

397
00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:55,760
Speaker 1: built to come back. They're not built to come back.

398
00:20:56,119 --> 00:20:59,399
Speaker 1: That's not the way they play now. They're going to

399
00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:01,480
Speaker 1: be a mother in the playoffs because they have the

400
00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:03,879
Speaker 1: greatest coach of all time, and they have a good defense,

401
00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:07,159
Speaker 1: and they have a run game that travels and that

402
00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:10,320
Speaker 1: plays in the elements, which we know that the elements

403
00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:13,840
Speaker 1: get crazy at Foxbor So the home playoff games, they

404
00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:16,359
Speaker 1: got to go on the road. That works right when

405
00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:18,159
Speaker 1: you can run the ball and you can stop the

406
00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:22,240
Speaker 1: other team from scoring. But like the Service academies, and

407
00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:26,760
Speaker 1: nothing but respect for anyone listening in the Service, Marines, Navy, Army,

408
00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:30,320
Speaker 1: you have my utmost respect. But when they play football,

409
00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:31,960
Speaker 1: if you've watched them over the years, and I was

410
00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:33,960
Speaker 1: when I lived in Philly, I went to the Army

411
00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:37,520
Speaker 1: Navy game. If you like football, if you like America,

412
00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:40,600
Speaker 1: I can't recommend going to that game enough. It's one

413
00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:43,240
Speaker 1: of the more powerful experiences you'll ever have in an event.

414
00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:45,920
Speaker 1: I think they play it every year at Lincoln Financial

415
00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:50,240
Speaker 1: and it's elite, it's awesome. It was gives you chills,

416
00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:53,520
Speaker 1: get there early, take it all in. But when you

417
00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:56,800
Speaker 1: run the triple option, as you see with Army Navy

418
00:21:57,000 --> 00:21:59,399
Speaker 1: member georgiattack used to do with Paul Johnson. When you

419
00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:02,640
Speaker 1: get down, it's hard to come back because you can't

420
00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:06,520
Speaker 1: throw the ball. Now, obviously the Patriots aren't exactly that,

421
00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:10,280
Speaker 1: but they aren't built to hit deep passing plays. That's

422
00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:13,679
Speaker 1: not going to be their style. Like ultimately Mahomes. Their

423
00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:15,840
Speaker 1: offense has been a little weird, but the moment they

424
00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:18,040
Speaker 1: need Kelsey or Tyree Hill to get him a big play,

425
00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:23,600
Speaker 1: it happens. It just does. And I just wonder, like

426
00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:27,080
Speaker 1: if the Patriots and listen, they had a fantastic season,

427
00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:30,720
Speaker 1: this was a major FU year by Belichick. Look what

428
00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:32,920
Speaker 1: I can do with the rookie quarterback. I'm you know,

429
00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:35,080
Speaker 1: they play the Bills this week, I'm gonna win the division,

430
00:22:35,119 --> 00:22:38,160
Speaker 1: more than likely host a playoff game. To me, he's

431
00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:41,600
Speaker 1: even the score of Brady right. It's he doesn't have

432
00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:43,800
Speaker 1: to win a super Bowl for him to prove his world.

433
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:46,520
Speaker 1: We already knew it. But like I think it's fair

434
00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:49,240
Speaker 1: to say, like the Patriots aren't winning the AFC. It's

435
00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:51,520
Speaker 1: not possible with the rookie quarterback, and more than likely

436
00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:53,399
Speaker 1: you're gonna get down one of these playoff games, and

437
00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:55,840
Speaker 1: you're gonna have to play in three of them. You're

438
00:22:55,880 --> 00:22:57,840
Speaker 1: not going to be the number one seed the Chiefs are.

439
00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:04,359
Speaker 1: I will be absolutely shocked if the Chiefs aren't representing

440
00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:07,600
Speaker 1: the AFC in the Super Bowl. To me, when you

441
00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:11,520
Speaker 1: watch football, they to me, are the heavy favorites to

442
00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:14,320
Speaker 1: be representing the AFC because they're going to be the

443
00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:17,280
Speaker 1: one seed. It's going to come through Kansas City. And

444
00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:21,160
Speaker 1: let's face it, the AFC, I think is much more

445
00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:24,600
Speaker 1: competitive down low than the NFC, but it's pretty average.

446
00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:26,560
Speaker 1: A lot of teams have injuries, a lot of teams

447
00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:30,800
Speaker 1: have loss and I think the Chargers and the Colts

448
00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:33,600
Speaker 1: I like more than the Patriots, mainly because their quarterback.

449
00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:36,560
Speaker 1: Now I'm not saying that Mac Jones is it more

450
00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:39,760
Speaker 1: efficient than Wentz, but ultimately Wentz can just do things

451
00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:43,920
Speaker 1: that Mac Jones cannot do, and obviously Herbert can. So

452
00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:47,800
Speaker 1: I'm the biggest Bill Belichick fan who's not a true

453
00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:51,440
Speaker 1: like quote unquote Patriot fan you'll ever meet. But let's

454
00:23:51,480 --> 00:23:54,920
Speaker 1: just like, let's realize what they are. They're a team

455
00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:57,480
Speaker 1: that needs a lot to go right for their rookie quarterback.

456
00:23:57,840 --> 00:24:01,800
Speaker 1: You can't just throw screens all law. It's not normal

457
00:24:01,880 --> 00:24:05,639
Speaker 1: to win a game having three pass attempts against another

458
00:24:05,760 --> 00:24:10,000
Speaker 1: playoff team. So I think we didn't see mac Jones

459
00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:12,080
Speaker 1: come back to Earth or whatever. We just saw that, like,

460
00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:15,520
Speaker 1: that is Mac Jones. He's thrown a lot of picks

461
00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:17,879
Speaker 1: this year. They've just been in a lot of situations

462
00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:19,840
Speaker 1: where they don't ask him to throw down the field

463
00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:22,840
Speaker 1: when he's had too. He's making he makes mistakes, so

464
00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:24,960
Speaker 1: with Tom Brady when he was twenty two years older,

465
00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:28,200
Speaker 1: Peyton Manning. It's human nature. But I think I said

466
00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:30,760
Speaker 1: it the whole time. The hype train on mac Jones

467
00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:34,840
Speaker 1: exceeded what he was actually doing. And I think sometimes

468
00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:37,719
Speaker 1: you can box score scout, you can live in the numbers.

469
00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:40,679
Speaker 1: You can also just watch the fucking games. And if

470
00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:44,320
Speaker 1: you just watch the games, you go, yeah, this guy's,

471
00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:47,040
Speaker 1: you know, getting by with some easy stuff. Just like

472
00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:49,320
Speaker 1: if you watch Lamar Jackson as someone who was a

473
00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:52,600
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson hater, it was hard not to come around

474
00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:55,040
Speaker 1: and go, God, damn, this guy's good bye about his

475
00:24:55,119 --> 00:24:58,560
Speaker 1: third year because he's improved, and obviously Mack can improve.

476
00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:00,760
Speaker 1: They can do a better job of getting wide receivers

477
00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:04,000
Speaker 1: around him in future years. But this team just has

478
00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:10,600
Speaker 1: some major limitations come playoff time. Appreciate everyone listening. We'll

479
00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:15,560
Speaker 1: be back Heavy Football Podcast Tuesday, and I guess this

480
00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:18,879
Speaker 1: week too. Christmas. I'll probably have a shorter one come

481
00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:23,480
