1
00:00:09,560 --> 00:00:16,160
Speaker 1: What is going on everybody. I'm your host, John Middlecop

2
00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:20,880
Speaker 1: is the Three and Out podcast. It is midnight eastern,

3
00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:27,160
Speaker 1: nine o'clock my time, and I just finished taking in watching.

4
00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:29,960
Speaker 1: I even had to pour myself a cocktail because the

5
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:34,360
Speaker 1: game was terrible. Thursday night football was in uh just

6
00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:39,040
Speaker 1: in mid season four awful game. But I have some takes.

7
00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:41,320
Speaker 1: We'll talk about it off the top. Now, if you

8
00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:44,239
Speaker 1: did take the Buccaneers plus seven and the under UH

9
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:46,440
Speaker 1: forty nine, you're feeling pretty good. And you followed me

10
00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:49,040
Speaker 1: on Instagram. I told you to do it, so again

11
00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:51,199
Speaker 1: you can follow me on Instagram at John Middlecoffee to

12
00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:54,040
Speaker 1: the Middlecoff mail Bag. That's how we end every podcast.

13
00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:57,520
Speaker 1: And I'll dive into Cam Newton, who was a train wreck.

14
00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:02,279
Speaker 1: We'll talk about Bill Belichi back in Antonio Brown. We'll

15
00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:05,600
Speaker 1: talk about Lamar Jackson and just context with the NFL,

16
00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:08,160
Speaker 1: and I think too often we we jumped the gun

17
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:10,800
Speaker 1: on everything and it's I I do it too. I'm

18
00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:14,560
Speaker 1: just as guilty as anyone. Chip Kelly and the dumpster

19
00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:17,800
Speaker 1: fire that is his coaching career. Then we'll hit just

20
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:21,000
Speaker 1: kind of the games on Sunday, just maybe we'll just

21
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:23,920
Speaker 1: do this every every week. I'll just write down all

22
00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:26,240
Speaker 1: the games, and right now these first couple of weeks,

23
00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:28,160
Speaker 1: in the last couple of weeks, because every team is playing.

24
00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:30,679
Speaker 1: Once the buys hit, it will be less games, and

25
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:32,720
Speaker 1: I'll just spend a minute or two on my first

26
00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:37,080
Speaker 1: reaction and first thought, uh, given the point spread and

27
00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:39,319
Speaker 1: the number one thing I'm looking for. And then, like

28
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:41,320
Speaker 1: I said, Middlecoff mail back at the end at John

29
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:44,399
Speaker 1: Middlecoff slide into my d MS wide open and we

30
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:48,000
Speaker 1: we interact with the people on the show. But I

31
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:51,880
Speaker 1: guess my overall takeaway from this game is you can

32
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:55,600
Speaker 1: get by I think in pro sports. Uh. And maybe

33
00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:58,080
Speaker 1: it's like this as any business, but it's it's easier

34
00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:01,880
Speaker 1: in pro sports just because your physical coal talents. Like

35
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:05,280
Speaker 1: I would imagine in most businesses, you all you get

36
00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:07,720
Speaker 1: better as you're in an industry, Like you don't come

37
00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:11,560
Speaker 1: in just quote unquote the most talented guy at maybe

38
00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:15,000
Speaker 1: in these last ten years with technology, you have like

39
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:18,919
Speaker 1: a leg up the entire you know company or maybe

40
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:21,840
Speaker 1: your small business depends on you because you have the

41
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:24,920
Speaker 1: ability we all know, like whenever you work in an office,

42
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:28,079
Speaker 1: the the power of the I T guy. He kind

43
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:31,080
Speaker 1: of owned you because you need him, like you just

44
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:33,919
Speaker 1: have no clue when whatever you do the system goes out,

45
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:37,359
Speaker 1: so you're dependent on him. Well, in pro sports, especially

46
00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:41,239
Speaker 1: in small markets, when they get a special player, they're

47
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:44,839
Speaker 1: kind of at his you know, at the power of him,

48
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:47,160
Speaker 1: like he he can do whatever he wants. And I

49
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:50,040
Speaker 1: know Forever Collins talked about this with Okay, see with

50
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:53,639
Speaker 1: with Russell Westbrook, but haven't seen the way Kevin Durant acts. Now.

51
00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:57,240
Speaker 1: Kevin Durant is an elite player, but his act kind

52
00:02:57,240 --> 00:02:59,160
Speaker 1: of wears you out, and I think he kind of

53
00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:01,160
Speaker 1: fell victim of that no ca see now when he

54
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:03,920
Speaker 1: was with the Warriors. Again, I'm not comparing him to

55
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:06,239
Speaker 1: Russell Westbrook or even Cam Newton, who I'm going to

56
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:08,000
Speaker 1: dive into here in a second, because he is an

57
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:11,480
Speaker 1: elite player. But I think Cam Newton, who has been

58
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:14,560
Speaker 1: one of the all time roller coaster rides we've ever seen,

59
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:19,320
Speaker 1: because no one even in the league would dispute and

60
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:23,160
Speaker 1: I definitely won't either. When he's on his good is

61
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:27,040
Speaker 1: as good as anyone. But here's the flip side. His

62
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:30,640
Speaker 1: bad as shitty as anybody like his bad will lose

63
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:33,640
Speaker 1: you every week and his bad as we witness tonight.

64
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:35,240
Speaker 1: I don't even have his box score up. I mean,

65
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:37,800
Speaker 1: at one point in time he was nineteen of forty

66
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:41,880
Speaker 1: and whatever his box score, the final numbers say, it

67
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:45,320
Speaker 1: does not do how terrible he was. Justice Now his

68
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:50,600
Speaker 1: offensive line is not great, but his consistent inaccuracy is

69
00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:54,440
Speaker 1: eye opening. I mean he is throwing balls to wide

70
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:57,600
Speaker 1: open guys when he does have sometimes in the pocket

71
00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:01,040
Speaker 1: that is not even close. I mean he skipping balls,

72
00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:05,480
Speaker 1: He's airmailing balls. But the reality is my my first

73
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:07,320
Speaker 1: or second year in the league was his rookie year,

74
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:10,960
Speaker 1: and I vividly remember watching him in preseason tape and

75
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:14,480
Speaker 1: seeing these balls just fly. He'd have a guy wide

76
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:16,520
Speaker 1: open in the middle of the field and the ball

77
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:18,800
Speaker 1: was you know, Shaquille O'Neil and his prime wouldn't have

78
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:22,599
Speaker 1: caught it. Like, you can't play quarterback, even if you

79
00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:25,200
Speaker 1: do have a big arm, even if you're an electric runner,

80
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:30,120
Speaker 1: if you are not accurate. It's literally a must have

81
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:33,160
Speaker 1: in the NFL. Like, you can still be a good player,

82
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:35,240
Speaker 1: you can still have good games. Hell, you can even

83
00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:38,479
Speaker 1: have a good season. If you're inaccurate. You cannot have

84
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:43,320
Speaker 1: a consistent career, though, and Cam's career is now marked

85
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:46,680
Speaker 1: and defined by inconsistency, and the reality is, and I

86
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:49,599
Speaker 1: tweeted this earlier, I think he's kind of the Carmelo

87
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:52,839
Speaker 1: Anthony of the NFL. He's one of the most overhyped

88
00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:57,400
Speaker 1: players in NFL history, mainly because he was a champion

89
00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:01,080
Speaker 1: in college, a very very high player at number one overall,

90
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:04,520
Speaker 1: and then came into the NFL, And unlike and unlike Carmelo,

91
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:06,560
Speaker 1: he's actually more accomplished. He led a team to the

92
00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:09,760
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. I attended it. I just happened to bet.

93
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:12,839
Speaker 1: I think, if memory serves me correctly, one of the

94
00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:15,239
Speaker 1: biggest bets I've ever made in a single game, about

95
00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:18,080
Speaker 1: two thousand dollars. I've also never won more money because

96
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:21,279
Speaker 1: I betted on the Broncos, and my main mindset was

97
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:24,960
Speaker 1: betting on the Broncos. Was I was betting against Cam

98
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:28,520
Speaker 1: and having watched that Denver defense live several times. I

99
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:30,520
Speaker 1: think that year they had played the Niners, and I

100
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:32,400
Speaker 1: was doing Raiders pre and post games, so I had

101
00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:35,400
Speaker 1: seen them live for like two or three straight years.

102
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:38,240
Speaker 1: No chance he was beating them now. I didn't feel

103
00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:41,560
Speaker 1: Peyton Manning remember back then couldn't throw either. And then

104
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:45,840
Speaker 1: having been like working in the media, being around uh,

105
00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:48,520
Speaker 1: just all the hoop law and the circus that is

106
00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:50,520
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl, I could tell the Panthers weren't really

107
00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:54,039
Speaker 1: that locked in. And again I just didn't trust Cam

108
00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:56,480
Speaker 1: in a big game. And what happened. He was terrible.

109
00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:59,800
Speaker 1: He was got awful, and mainly because in the biggest

110
00:05:59,839 --> 00:06:02,320
Speaker 1: game aimes, when the defense gets the most intense and

111
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:05,159
Speaker 1: you have to be pinpoint accurate, and you have to

112
00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:08,240
Speaker 1: be you have to be in full control of the

113
00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:11,599
Speaker 1: balls that are are leaving your hand. That's never been him. Now,

114
00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:14,720
Speaker 1: he's had stretches where he's on, But to me, tonight

115
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:17,680
Speaker 1: is more indicative of his career. Maybe Tonight's more extreme,

116
00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:21,760
Speaker 1: but Tonight's closer to being what Cam Newton is than

117
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:25,000
Speaker 1: his MVP year. Like his MVP year when we really

118
00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:26,719
Speaker 1: dive back in and we pull up all of his

119
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:30,680
Speaker 1: game logs, his entire career is an outlier. It really is.

120
00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:35,360
Speaker 1: And listen, I've crushed Jamis before. Actually that Jamis was decent,

121
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:38,560
Speaker 1: especially in the second half. But both those two guys

122
00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:43,920
Speaker 1: they have they have a fundamental flaw that kills their

123
00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:49,920
Speaker 1: high end ability and it's inaccuracy. It'd be like d

124
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 1: be like a golfer that can't put, or a picture

125
00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:56,120
Speaker 1: that can't throw strikes when he has to. You know,

126
00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:59,120
Speaker 1: a shooter that can't hit three pointers like, it's just

127
00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:03,440
Speaker 1: something so fundamental at that position. A wide receiver that

128
00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:07,640
Speaker 1: can't catch, an accountant that can't count numbers. You know,

129
00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:10,120
Speaker 1: I don't even know a sales guy that can't sell sell.

130
00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:14,600
Speaker 1: It's just when you have a quarterback that can't consistently

131
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:19,160
Speaker 1: complete balls, especially tonight, like people were d M and

132
00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:21,880
Speaker 1: me and I I d M back like their wide

133
00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:24,600
Speaker 1: receiver suck? And then I thought, do their wide receiver suck?

134
00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:27,680
Speaker 1: DJ Moore is actually pretty good. Samuel the kid from

135
00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:30,679
Speaker 1: my house state is not bad. Maybe it's just Greg

136
00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:33,520
Speaker 1: Olsen at fifty years old, still making plays. Maybe his

137
00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:37,400
Speaker 1: cam sucks and part of its his body's given out

138
00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:39,520
Speaker 1: on him. Maybe a shoulder is never gonna be right again.

139
00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:42,640
Speaker 1: But he's just not good enough. And and I say

140
00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:44,720
Speaker 1: this all the time. In the NBA, we hype players.

141
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:47,480
Speaker 1: In the NFL and in college football we hype coaches.

142
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:51,600
Speaker 1: I do think Cam Newton is a little bit like

143
00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:53,880
Speaker 1: an NBA player where he's been hyped up to a

144
00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:57,240
Speaker 1: level that he's never played at beside the one season. Now,

145
00:07:57,280 --> 00:07:59,320
Speaker 1: you went an m v P in the NFL. That's

146
00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:01,800
Speaker 1: pretty big time and I'll never take that year away

147
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:05,440
Speaker 1: from him. He managed the Super Bowl. That's an incredible accomplishment.

148
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:09,240
Speaker 1: And he clearly was a super heralded college player. Just

149
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:11,560
Speaker 1: you know, he went to Florida originally to take over

150
00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:14,520
Speaker 1: for Tebow. There might have been a stolen laptop. If

151
00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:17,280
Speaker 1: you forget that story, google it kicked out, goes to

152
00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:20,160
Speaker 1: j C, goes to Auburn, was actually supposed to go

153
00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:22,640
Speaker 1: to Mississippi State until that direct deposit went through, and

154
00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:25,040
Speaker 1: Cecil Newton built the church. And again, I'm pro paned

155
00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:27,440
Speaker 1: players in college, so I'm not getting my moral high

156
00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:31,440
Speaker 1: horse here. But he was a great college player, dominant

157
00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:34,200
Speaker 1: college player, a physical freak who just not a great

158
00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:36,040
Speaker 1: thrower of the football. It doesn't mean he doesn't have

159
00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:38,960
Speaker 1: great arm strength, or doesn't mean he can't complete passes,

160
00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:44,040
Speaker 1: but he's very inaccurate. And tonight I see this this

161
00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:46,840
Speaker 1: stat right now on NFL Network. Eight straight losses with

162
00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:49,800
Speaker 1: Cam Newton as the starter. Like, I got news for you,

163
00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:52,319
Speaker 1: and I feel pretty confident about saying this. Cam Newton

164
00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:53,800
Speaker 1: is not gonna be the quarterback next year for the

165
00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:57,800
Speaker 1: Carolina Panthers. Zero chance, none. I don't even need to

166
00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:00,079
Speaker 1: google his contract. He's not going to be in the

167
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:03,440
Speaker 1: Carolina Panthers. My question is how many NFL teams are

168
00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:06,360
Speaker 1: gonna want him? Like he's pretty well established now, he's

169
00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:09,679
Speaker 1: not a fixable player, like at least if Jamis gets

170
00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:11,439
Speaker 1: cut at the end of the season and someone higher

171
00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:14,080
Speaker 1: like he'll be a backup to me. Cam is one

172
00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:17,199
Speaker 1: of the league's superstars because of the hype machine. Who's

173
00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:19,160
Speaker 1: he starting for in two thousand twenty Because it's not

174
00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:21,079
Speaker 1: gonna be the Panthers and more than likely, I'm a

175
00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:24,120
Speaker 1: big Ron Rivera guy, Marno Vera probably won't be there.

176
00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:26,040
Speaker 1: I mean David Tepper, the guy that paid two billion

177
00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:31,040
Speaker 1: in cash. Uh. I think Randy Moss once famously said cash,

178
00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:33,640
Speaker 1: straight cash on me. That's how he paid for it,

179
00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:36,080
Speaker 1: Straight cash on me, kind of like our guy Steve

180
00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:39,079
Speaker 1: Balmer down with l A Clippers. Straight cash. These guys

181
00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:43,319
Speaker 1: have stupid cash. And if you pay two billion dollars

182
00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:46,440
Speaker 1: cash for a team, you ain't gonna watch Cam Newton long.

183
00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:47,839
Speaker 1: I'll promise you that because I know if I was

184
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:50,240
Speaker 1: hit in this position and I'd pay two billion dollars

185
00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:54,040
Speaker 1: in cash, Cam Newton would be audios, bye bye, see

186
00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:57,000
Speaker 1: you later. And that's clearly where it's trending now. I mean,

187
00:09:57,160 --> 00:09:59,360
Speaker 1: I would imagine they'll roll with Cam for a while.

188
00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:01,640
Speaker 1: Like I'd be a little shocked if he gets benched

189
00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:04,800
Speaker 1: this year. But I mean if they're oh oh and five,

190
00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:08,080
Speaker 1: oh and six and they keep losing her two and eight, there,

191
00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:10,400
Speaker 1: there's not guaranteed. And this is a national football league.

192
00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:13,400
Speaker 1: No one's guaranteed. I mean Peyton Manning got benched his

193
00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:15,280
Speaker 1: last year that they ended up winning the Super Bowl.

194
00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:17,000
Speaker 1: Remember that. Now they claimed it was an injury, but

195
00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:21,319
Speaker 1: we all know the truth. You got benched, and there's

196
00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:23,199
Speaker 1: a bottom line league and this guy is not getting

197
00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:25,640
Speaker 1: it done. And the reality is he's not only not

198
00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:28,920
Speaker 1: getting it done, Cam Newton is now a liability. And

199
00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:31,440
Speaker 1: I'll say this, even when Cam Newton struggled earlier in

200
00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:35,000
Speaker 1: his career, I wouldn't call him a liability. Uh, he's now,

201
00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:39,240
Speaker 1: you know. As as Tommy Losorda once famously said about

202
00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:43,600
Speaker 1: Babakua that he'd send the bleep in limousine I don't

203
00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:45,640
Speaker 1: know if you're sending a limousine to make sure Cam's

204
00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:47,880
Speaker 1: at the game, but I don't think you're looking over

205
00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:50,959
Speaker 1: at the sideline during warmups. That's scared when Cam Newton's

206
00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:53,719
Speaker 1: on the other sideline. And that definitely couldn't been a

207
00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:57,199
Speaker 1: said three or four years ago. But I know we

208
00:10:57,320 --> 00:10:59,400
Speaker 1: got fans of every team in the league to listen

209
00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:02,120
Speaker 1: to this podcast. If it's your team and you're playing

210
00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:05,400
Speaker 1: Cam Newton, I don't know if you're exactly licking your chops,

211
00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:07,559
Speaker 1: but you're sure as hell not sweating like you're playing

212
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:10,960
Speaker 1: Brady or Rogers or Breezes or Mahomes. I'll promise you that.

213
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:15,520
Speaker 1: So Cam Newton experience is headed down the home stretch

214
00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:20,240
Speaker 1: right now. It it is ug lee. Okay, let's get

215
00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:23,920
Speaker 1: the Belichick at Antonio Brown. And let me preface this

216
00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:27,199
Speaker 1: by saying, I'm exhausted with Antonio Brown. I mean, when

217
00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:28,920
Speaker 1: you when you live in the Bay Area and the

218
00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:32,320
Speaker 1: feet stuff just hit you over the head every day,

219
00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:34,360
Speaker 1: and then it's also on hard knocks, it's also then

220
00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:36,800
Speaker 1: the number one story in the NFL. He is just

221
00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:39,440
Speaker 1: an exhausting human being. I mean, Terrell Owens thinks that

222
00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:42,640
Speaker 1: Antonio Brown is a diva. It's like, holy hell, can

223
00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:45,920
Speaker 1: you just stay out of the news for one one day,

224
00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:48,199
Speaker 1: let alone a week, let alone a month, and the

225
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:52,240
Speaker 1: answers no and the new information that came out this week.

226
00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:55,600
Speaker 1: I'm gonna preface this by saying I say the same

227
00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:58,160
Speaker 1: thing with every single one of these accusations. If the

228
00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:00,600
Speaker 1: guy did it, either hitting a woman or raping a

229
00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:03,880
Speaker 1: woman or whatever, you should go to jail. It's in

230
00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:06,840
Speaker 1: in middle Copts judicial system. It's black and white. You

231
00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:08,920
Speaker 1: go to jail. But I also say this on the

232
00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:11,520
Speaker 1: other side, when you make it up, as in like

233
00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:14,079
Speaker 1: what happened to Reuben Foster, she should go to jail.

234
00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:16,960
Speaker 1: It's it's very black and white for me. Now, like

235
00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:20,560
Speaker 1: most people, most of these situations happened in a one

236
00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:23,520
Speaker 1: on one setting, So I don't know. You don't know

237
00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:26,400
Speaker 1: that only those two know. So I can't even begin

238
00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:28,880
Speaker 1: to have a take on if he did it, if

239
00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:31,160
Speaker 1: he should be employed. I mean one that there are

240
00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:34,800
Speaker 1: zero criminal charges. This is a civil off suit. And again,

241
00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:36,400
Speaker 1: like I said, if he did it, he should go

242
00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:38,040
Speaker 1: to jail. If she's making it up, she should go

243
00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:40,199
Speaker 1: to jail. I I that my stance on this stuff

244
00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:43,640
Speaker 1: will never change. They're also in the story that came

245
00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:47,280
Speaker 1: out that Belichick rap sheet tweeted the Patriots had no clue.

246
00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:49,880
Speaker 1: I'm gonna call bullshit on that, mainly because I watched

247
00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:53,120
Speaker 1: Drew Rosenhouse the other day talk about how he knew

248
00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:56,240
Speaker 1: this was coming. And Drew Rosenhouse and Belichick are very close.

249
00:12:56,520 --> 00:12:59,400
Speaker 1: They've done a lot of deals together. They clearly worked

250
00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:03,760
Speaker 1: pretty well together. I don't believe there's any chance on

251
00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:06,600
Speaker 1: God's green Earth that Drew Rosenhouse, if he knew this

252
00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:09,280
Speaker 1: was coming and he was talking with Belichick doing a deal,

253
00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:11,800
Speaker 1: would not tell him this was coming. I I don't

254
00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:14,600
Speaker 1: believe that for a second. No chance Belichick's getting blindsided

255
00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:17,360
Speaker 1: on this. I just I won't believe that until someone

256
00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:20,559
Speaker 1: credible tells me otherwise. And I'm not saying that rap

257
00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:22,960
Speaker 1: sheets not credible. But let's call it what it is.

258
00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:25,240
Speaker 1: The Patriots wanted out there, they didn't know because they

259
00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:28,960
Speaker 1: mainly because Pro Sports I got news for you. Teams

260
00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:31,760
Speaker 1: think fans are idiots, and they can push narratives and

261
00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:34,120
Speaker 1: make you believe them. I'm just not believing this one.

262
00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:36,760
Speaker 1: It's pretty clear that Belichick would have known if Rosenhouse

263
00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:38,640
Speaker 1: would have known, and they knew it was coming, and

264
00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:40,959
Speaker 1: they vehemently deny it, and I got no clue how

265
00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:43,440
Speaker 1: this is gonna play out. I also know that Schefter

266
00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:45,920
Speaker 1: tweeted that she's getting married this week, so she'll meet

267
00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:48,480
Speaker 1: with the NFL next week, which is a little bizarre

268
00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:50,080
Speaker 1: to me. But you know, who am I to judge.

269
00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:52,960
Speaker 1: I guess we're not all you know, similar, It's just again,

270
00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:55,520
Speaker 1: like a little I'm red flagging the situation a little bit.

271
00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:58,240
Speaker 1: And I'm not defending Antonio Brown by any means, because

272
00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:01,599
Speaker 1: he's the craziest, one of the dumbest players going in

273
00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:04,000
Speaker 1: the league. I mean, again, I'm exhausted with Antonio Brown,

274
00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:05,520
Speaker 1: but he's now on the best team in the league.

275
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:08,439
Speaker 1: And I think, like most people, like, why would the

276
00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:11,720
Speaker 1: Patriots even get him? Well, you know, I just think

277
00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:14,160
Speaker 1: the rich always try to get richer, just the way

278
00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:17,199
Speaker 1: the league works, that's the way society works. Like why

279
00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:20,000
Speaker 1: Jeff Bezos buy Whole Foods. I don't know. He wants

280
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:22,920
Speaker 1: to corner the market in every industry. He wants to

281
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:25,920
Speaker 1: own the world. I mean, that's really why people like God,

282
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:28,280
Speaker 1: he paid ten billion dollars for Whole Foods. Well, the

283
00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:30,000
Speaker 1: next day the stock went up and he actually made

284
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:34,080
Speaker 1: two billion dollars. Why Belichick, why would you get Antonio Brown?

285
00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:36,960
Speaker 1: Your team floated, You're gonna go fourteen and two? Yeah,

286
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:39,600
Speaker 1: I can go fifteen one. I could make this even easier.

287
00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:42,000
Speaker 1: I can be even better. And you know what, he

288
00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:45,120
Speaker 1: was available for nothing. I had to give zero compensation.

289
00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:47,840
Speaker 1: The only thing I had to give was nine million dollars.

290
00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:50,640
Speaker 1: And I saw multiple people tweet out the details on

291
00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:53,480
Speaker 1: the contract. He's actually not even tied to him. If

292
00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:56,160
Speaker 1: Antonio Brown screws up, he can get out for way

293
00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:59,240
Speaker 1: less money the way they've structured the bonuses, So it's

294
00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:03,120
Speaker 1: really not that crazy of an investment. And Two, when

295
00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:06,400
Speaker 1: you dive into their wide receiver room, Julian Edelman, older

296
00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:08,160
Speaker 1: player who has a torn a c L and also

297
00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:10,480
Speaker 1: had an injured thumb this preseason, Like, what if he

298
00:15:10,520 --> 00:15:12,840
Speaker 1: injured his thumb again? He's by far the best wide

299
00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:15,720
Speaker 1: receiver now that Gronks retired, and just screwing around, you're

300
00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:19,680
Speaker 1: depending on nikkil Harry who's on injured reserve, and he

301
00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:22,720
Speaker 1: was a first round pick. Jacoby Meyers their first round pick,

302
00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:25,320
Speaker 1: or excuse me, their their other wide receiver who's an

303
00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:29,280
Speaker 1: undrafted free agent. They are depending on a rookie undrafted

304
00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:31,800
Speaker 1: free agent, which by all accounts has been a really

305
00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:34,760
Speaker 1: good player. But still that's that's a lot to depend

306
00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:38,080
Speaker 1: on an undrafted free agent. And then you're tight end

307
00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:40,560
Speaker 1: situation major question mark. Now, they do have a good

308
00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:44,000
Speaker 1: group of running backs, the two Alabama guys and James White,

309
00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:47,800
Speaker 1: but still Belichick's going, God, I mean, we kicked the Steelers, asked,

310
00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:49,880
Speaker 1: which we always do. I might as well just be

311
00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:52,920
Speaker 1: a part owner of the Steelers. But our receiver depth

312
00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:55,360
Speaker 1: is somewhat of a question mark. Now, if Gronk was

313
00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:56,960
Speaker 1: still on the team in his prime, would they have

314
00:15:57,000 --> 00:15:59,560
Speaker 1: got Antonio Brown? Probably not, They wouldn't need him. But

315
00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:02,240
Speaker 1: when you really kind of dive in deep to their group,

316
00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:06,080
Speaker 1: it's not quite as stacked as you think as a unit.

317
00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:09,720
Speaker 1: So I I do understand from a football perspective why

318
00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:12,160
Speaker 1: they do it. And here's the other thing. How many

319
00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:15,000
Speaker 1: times do we need to learn in society, in football

320
00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:19,320
Speaker 1: that the most talented people get you know what, they say,

321
00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:21,800
Speaker 1: a cat has nine lives. That's like, that's just the

322
00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:24,760
Speaker 1: reality for the most talented people in any industry. Not

323
00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:27,920
Speaker 1: the case for me, probably for you either listening, but

324
00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:31,520
Speaker 1: for people like Antonio Brown, for people in any business

325
00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:34,160
Speaker 1: that are the top of their field, I mean the

326
00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:38,240
Speaker 1: absolute top. Because if Antonio Brown had been like a

327
00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:43,080
Speaker 1: fringe pro bowler like uh, I don't know, like Chris Godwin,

328
00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:45,560
Speaker 1: I'm just I got Panthers Buccaneers on in the background.

329
00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:48,680
Speaker 1: I think his first name is Chris uh, Devin Funcius,

330
00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:51,080
Speaker 1: I don't know, you just name just random wide receivers.

331
00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:53,560
Speaker 1: He's out of the league. Like if he just pulled

332
00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:55,680
Speaker 1: what just happened in Oakland and they had cut him,

333
00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:59,480
Speaker 1: no one signing him, no one's even contemplating signing him. Now,

334
00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:01,280
Speaker 1: you could argue would never have been as big of

335
00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:03,000
Speaker 1: a story because no one would give a ship. Right.

336
00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:05,480
Speaker 1: Part of the reason it became such a big story

337
00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:07,919
Speaker 1: is because he's, you know, probably a top five or

338
00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:11,240
Speaker 1: ten player non quarterback in the NFL. And I think

339
00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:13,000
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, Belichick takes step back, like,

340
00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:14,480
Speaker 1: I have the chance to get a top five or

341
00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:17,080
Speaker 1: ten non quarterback in the NFL on my team, who

342
00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:20,440
Speaker 1: I also have the unique experience of playing because we've

343
00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:23,480
Speaker 1: played what feels like the Steelers once to twice a

344
00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:26,040
Speaker 1: year for the last ten plus years since he's been

345
00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:29,119
Speaker 1: in the league, So no one would have scouted him

346
00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:32,119
Speaker 1: more consistently beside the teams in the a f C

347
00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:35,960
Speaker 1: North than Belichick. He's seen this guy countless times, so

348
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:37,520
Speaker 1: he knows how good he is. I mean, we all do,

349
00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:40,280
Speaker 1: but he really does because he schemed against him every

350
00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:43,000
Speaker 1: year since he's been in the league, every single year

351
00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:46,320
Speaker 1: because they played each other all the freaking time. So

352
00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:48,600
Speaker 1: I wouldn't have done it. I would imagine most people

353
00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:51,200
Speaker 1: listening probably wouldn't have done it. But I do understand

354
00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:54,959
Speaker 1: why Belichick did it. Anyone that in business will tell

355
00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:57,800
Speaker 1: you either growing or dying, right, football is saying is

356
00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:00,119
Speaker 1: you're either getting better or you're getting worse. No one

357
00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:02,800
Speaker 1: stays the same, and I think Belichick just looked at

358
00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:04,840
Speaker 1: it as a way to get better. Now, if he

359
00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:07,199
Speaker 1: becomes such a big pain in the ass, I think

360
00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:09,159
Speaker 1: they'll easily get rid of them, and the money to

361
00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:11,200
Speaker 1: them is nothing. They'll cut him and they'll move on.

362
00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:15,240
Speaker 1: They don't. The other thing about the Patriots, they don't

363
00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:18,399
Speaker 1: mess around with sunk costs that long. The moment they

364
00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:21,919
Speaker 1: think you're deadweight, they just move on regardless. Financially, it

365
00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:25,119
Speaker 1: doesn't affect them, unlike most teams that like hold onto

366
00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:28,159
Speaker 1: a first round pick forever or like a year longer

367
00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:30,399
Speaker 1: with the free agent signing. They just say peace, so

368
00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:33,320
Speaker 1: you godspeed. They don't even think Belichick says that. He

369
00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:35,639
Speaker 1: just says, you're cut, clean out your locker, get the

370
00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:38,680
Speaker 1: hell out of here. You know we're off. Forget. Belichick

371
00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:41,360
Speaker 1: is not treating Antonio Brown any differently when it comes

372
00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:43,560
Speaker 1: to that stuff, Like he's not getting he might get

373
00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:46,080
Speaker 1: nine lives in the NFL because the Patriots cut him.

374
00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:47,800
Speaker 1: Then maybe the Redskins would sky on them, or maybe

375
00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:50,639
Speaker 1: Seattle would sign him. But he's getting one life with

376
00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:53,600
Speaker 1: with Belichick, and that's you either shape in or you

377
00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:57,680
Speaker 1: shape out. Now, if this civil case gets crazier new

378
00:18:57,680 --> 00:18:59,840
Speaker 1: information comes out, I bet they'll get rid of him. Like,

379
00:18:59,880 --> 00:19:02,800
Speaker 1: I don't think it's really that complicated. Now. You could

380
00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:04,880
Speaker 1: also argue we've seen some crazy things happen with them.

381
00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:07,240
Speaker 1: They did have a double murderer on their team, and

382
00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:09,159
Speaker 1: they waited for a second until they knew that he

383
00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:11,159
Speaker 1: was probably guilty, and then they got rid of them.

384
00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:13,680
Speaker 1: So I don't but I never viewed the Patriots is

385
00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:16,439
Speaker 1: like the moral compass for the NFL or society. They

386
00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:19,919
Speaker 1: don't even pretend to be. Belichick's has one job, I

387
00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:23,720
Speaker 1: mean literally one job. That what defining statement for the

388
00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:26,840
Speaker 1: New England Patriots is do your job. His number one job,

389
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:28,760
Speaker 1: just like any coach in the NFL, is to win.

390
00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:32,159
Speaker 1: It's not to do the right thing or acquire the

391
00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:35,320
Speaker 1: right players. That's why where I live. Once upon a time,

392
00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:39,400
Speaker 1: Jed York made a comment about winning with class, and

393
00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:44,399
Speaker 1: it was it was the it was laughed at. I

394
00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:46,359
Speaker 1: mean it's still I mean it's kind of I mean

395
00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:48,480
Speaker 1: it's seven eight years ago, so we don't talk about

396
00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:50,840
Speaker 1: it anymore. But for three or four years he got

397
00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:54,600
Speaker 1: constantly just destroyed for that comment because it's bs. It's fake.

398
00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:57,359
Speaker 1: You don't even need to say it. It's a fraudulent comment.

399
00:19:57,840 --> 00:19:59,919
Speaker 1: No one expects you to win with class. The only

400
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:02,280
Speaker 1: only thing your fans, for the most part, really expect

401
00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:04,480
Speaker 1: you to do is win. And a lot of people

402
00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:07,680
Speaker 1: on Twitter and the PC culture were like, we expect more. No,

403
00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:10,960
Speaker 1: you really don't. Because every time a team wins, regardless

404
00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:12,560
Speaker 1: of they have good or bad guys on their team,

405
00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:15,600
Speaker 1: people applaud it. That's just that's a fact. That's not

406
00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:19,800
Speaker 1: an opinion. It happens. It literally happens every single time. Now,

407
00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:22,879
Speaker 1: when you lose and you got quote unquote tours on

408
00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:25,080
Speaker 1: your team, yeah, that that gets ugly and it hell

409
00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:27,520
Speaker 1: it did for they did for Jed York with forty.

410
00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:31,280
Speaker 1: Once Hardball left, it became a problem. But when you

411
00:20:31,359 --> 00:20:33,600
Speaker 1: got questionable guys, and I saw it with the Hardball teams,

412
00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:36,359
Speaker 1: he had Chris Culliver chased a biker down the street

413
00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:39,480
Speaker 1: with brass knuckles. Bruce Miller beat up an old guy,

414
00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:43,199
Speaker 1: I mean Ray McDonald. Yeah, I did some beat up

415
00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:45,240
Speaker 1: a check. I mean it was it was out of control.

416
00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:48,040
Speaker 1: But they were kicking the cramp at everyone. And the

417
00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:51,800
Speaker 1: fans around here were like, go Hardball, go diners. I mean,

418
00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:55,240
Speaker 1: the Patriot fans have been supporting their guys forever. Why

419
00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:58,400
Speaker 1: because they've won six Lombardies, they've been to nine Super Bowls.

420
00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:01,959
Speaker 1: They've been to however, eight straight an f C Championships,

421
00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:04,280
Speaker 1: the Ironies. It feels like they've been the thirty straight

422
00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:06,520
Speaker 1: a f C Championship games. It feels like I have

423
00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:09,639
Speaker 1: not watched an f C Championship game in the modern

424
00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:12,800
Speaker 1: Internet era without them. That's that's how it feels. I

425
00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:15,399
Speaker 1: know that's not a reality. They've missed a couple of times.

426
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:18,000
Speaker 1: But if you just just think about it, like how

427
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:19,480
Speaker 1: many times have the Patriots been the a f C

428
00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:22,440
Speaker 1: Championship games? It's two as one, you'd probably say like sixteen.

429
00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:24,240
Speaker 1: I don't even know what the number is. It's gotta

430
00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:27,040
Speaker 1: be like thirteen or fourteen. It's a high number. And

431
00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:29,359
Speaker 1: that's all their fans care about. And that's why, because

432
00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:32,199
Speaker 1: that's what most NFL fans care about. You win with

433
00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:35,320
Speaker 1: good players, even if they're bad guys, you get credit.

434
00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:37,960
Speaker 1: And that's what I think Belichick learned. Like that's why

435
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:39,880
Speaker 1: when he goes to these press conferences he doesn't answer

436
00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:42,359
Speaker 1: any of your questions because he knows one. It just

437
00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:45,320
Speaker 1: creates headlines into none of it matters. So as long

438
00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:47,120
Speaker 1: as he doesn't say anything and he keeps winning, you're

439
00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:50,320
Speaker 1: not gonna be able to do anything. Due. Okay, if

440
00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:52,399
Speaker 1: you've listen to me for a while or follow me

441
00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:54,800
Speaker 1: on social media, I think you know where I stand

442
00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:58,080
Speaker 1: on Lamar Jackson. I was never a big fan. I

443
00:21:58,080 --> 00:22:00,359
Speaker 1: would not have drafted him in the first round. I

444
00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:03,840
Speaker 1: would not have built my team around him, and after

445
00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:06,840
Speaker 1: they played Miami, who I think it's pretty clear as

446
00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:09,640
Speaker 1: a triple A or double A team. I mean, it's

447
00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:12,840
Speaker 1: not an NFL squad. But I'm not going to diminish

448
00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:17,320
Speaker 1: Lamar's game. It was fantastic. He was awesome. But one

449
00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:19,560
Speaker 1: thing I learned when I was in the NFL, and

450
00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:22,800
Speaker 1: I think this relates to everything in life, is used

451
00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:28,720
Speaker 1: context when evaluating everything. Like is Kylie Jenner the first

452
00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:32,760
Speaker 1: female billionaire? Randomly? Like just through hard work and just

453
00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:34,760
Speaker 1: you know, she's been cutting her teeth for thirty years

454
00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:37,520
Speaker 1: building this makeup line? Or was she born into a

455
00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:39,560
Speaker 1: family that was just on a rocket ship when she

456
00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:42,800
Speaker 1: was you know, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen years old and

457
00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:46,720
Speaker 1: she used social media and her platform and created billions

458
00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:49,400
Speaker 1: of you know, she's gonna be a billionaire. That's that's impressive.

459
00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:53,520
Speaker 1: Like is Lebron James a great businessman? After he got

460
00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:55,800
Speaker 1: denied for Taco Tuesday? You probably say no, No, he's

461
00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:59,520
Speaker 1: a really famous basketball player who's able to parlay that

462
00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:02,560
Speaker 1: do a lot of business ventures, which I give him

463
00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:06,320
Speaker 1: credit for, like him and Rich Paul create the agency.

464
00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:09,359
Speaker 1: But the reason all that is possible is because of

465
00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:12,919
Speaker 1: his basketball brand. If he was not a big basketball brand,

466
00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:15,679
Speaker 1: he couldn't do anything in the business world. No one

467
00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:17,399
Speaker 1: would care. Maybe he could, it would just take a

468
00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:20,080
Speaker 1: lot longer. Like he's not a he's a billionaire or

469
00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:24,879
Speaker 1: will be soon because of basketball. Lamar Jackson, you know,

470
00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:27,359
Speaker 1: had I think it was seventeen to twenty in the

471
00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:30,800
Speaker 1: first half, had like four or five touchdowns. Was unreal.

472
00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:32,720
Speaker 1: I went back and I watched some of the game,

473
00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:35,879
Speaker 1: like do I am I supposed to anoint you? And

474
00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:38,440
Speaker 1: I get because I actually heard Greg Cosel today on

475
00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:41,800
Speaker 1: with Colin and it made me thinking, he's like, you know,

476
00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:45,640
Speaker 1: people are so quick to overreact like last year all

477
00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:50,400
Speaker 1: the NBA twitter, James Harden is the best offensive player ever. Man,

478
00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:54,280
Speaker 1: He's better than Michael Jordan's. No, he's not that. In

479
00:23:54,359 --> 00:23:56,600
Speaker 1: no world is James Harden a better player than Michael

480
00:23:56,640 --> 00:23:59,720
Speaker 1: Jordan's when the games matter. Always in the playoffs, he

481
00:23:59,760 --> 00:24:02,560
Speaker 1: looked like a shell of himself. So in the regular

482
00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:05,400
Speaker 1: season when games mean nothing. In January against Sacramento, when

483
00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:09,600
Speaker 1: he scores sixty, whippee great, Like, I'm sorry, he's not

484
00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:12,760
Speaker 1: a better player in Michael Jordan's Lamar Jackson has he improved,

485
00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:15,920
Speaker 1: for sure, But when you're hitting deep bombs and there's

486
00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:19,120
Speaker 1: not a player within twenty yards of you, like, I'm

487
00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:21,960
Speaker 1: not gonna just anoint you the next Joe Montana. When

488
00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:24,240
Speaker 1: you throw a slant pass and you take it sixty

489
00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:26,399
Speaker 1: and the wide receiver takes a sixty yards, did you

490
00:24:26,440 --> 00:24:29,760
Speaker 1: really do that much? And again, I'm not trying to

491
00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:32,680
Speaker 1: say I'm right on this. Lamar Jackson maybe a lot

492
00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:35,000
Speaker 1: better than I think he was ever gonna be when

493
00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:38,200
Speaker 1: he came out. I would bet right now I'm gonna

494
00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:41,080
Speaker 1: be probably wrong on Lamar Jackson. And I got news

495
00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:42,960
Speaker 1: for you. And I say this all the time about

496
00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:45,439
Speaker 1: players when I find out, like if I don't like

497
00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:49,080
Speaker 1: the player coming out of college and then that guy

498
00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:50,800
Speaker 1: is a bad guy in the NFL, like he's not

499
00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:53,679
Speaker 1: a good human. I don't mind, you know, kind of

500
00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:57,040
Speaker 1: standing on my soapbox and rooting against him, just like

501
00:24:57,119 --> 00:25:00,280
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna root for Turns, you know. But Mark

502
00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:03,320
Speaker 1: Jackson and I view Josh Allen the same way they

503
00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:06,240
Speaker 1: were in the same draft. Who everything I've heard from

504
00:25:06,280 --> 00:25:09,280
Speaker 1: people around him, people that know him, people that scouted him,

505
00:25:09,359 --> 00:25:12,720
Speaker 1: his character is pristine. The guys like him. He's a really,

506
00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:15,000
Speaker 1: really good guy. The same thing goes for Josh Allen.

507
00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:18,200
Speaker 1: I'm rooting for both those players, though as I said,

508
00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:20,840
Speaker 1: I wouldn't have touched either in the first round. I'm

509
00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:23,880
Speaker 1: rooting for him. I hope he proves me wrong. Now.

510
00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:27,720
Speaker 1: Josh Allen is still a roller coaster with accuracy. He's

511
00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:31,199
Speaker 1: not a very accurate quarterback. Lamar Jackson, who looks like

512
00:25:31,320 --> 00:25:33,919
Speaker 1: he's much improved. I was never one saying that he

513
00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:37,679
Speaker 1: should play wide receiver, though everyone kind of shipping on

514
00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:41,040
Speaker 1: Bill Polian. I got news for you. Bill Polian's got

515
00:25:41,040 --> 00:25:43,520
Speaker 1: a jacket and he has a bust in this thing

516
00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:46,359
Speaker 1: called Canton, Ohio happens to be the Pro Football Hall

517
00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:49,400
Speaker 1: of Fame. So yeah, maybe he was wrong about that one.

518
00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:51,520
Speaker 1: But he's got a lot of things right. And I

519
00:25:51,560 --> 00:25:54,360
Speaker 1: know progressive booker eating twenty two year old Twitter that's

520
00:25:54,359 --> 00:25:56,800
Speaker 1: living with their mom, loves to act like he's an idiot.

521
00:25:57,160 --> 00:26:01,120
Speaker 1: Check out his resume. It's actually pretty good. But Lamar Jackson,

522
00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:03,879
Speaker 1: like we overreacted for the first game. He's gonna be

523
00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:07,040
Speaker 1: the best fantasy quarterback ever. They played the Miami Dolphins again.

524
00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:09,880
Speaker 1: You gotta put things in context. Played the Miami Dolphins.

525
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:12,520
Speaker 1: They couldn't cover me or you guys were wide open.

526
00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:14,840
Speaker 1: He's hitting Markey's brown and little slant routes. He's taking

527
00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:17,560
Speaker 1: seventy yards. They couldn't have. The Miami Dolphins couldn't be

528
00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:21,320
Speaker 1: any worse. They literally are tanking like they claim they're not,

529
00:26:21,359 --> 00:26:24,440
Speaker 1: but it's pretty clear they are now. If Lamar Jackson

530
00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:27,639
Speaker 1: does half of what he did against the Dolphins, against

531
00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:31,119
Speaker 1: the Steelers, against the Ravens, hell against the Bengals, I

532
00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:32,919
Speaker 1: will tip my hat and I'll say, you know what

533
00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:36,639
Speaker 1: starting to look wrong? Even this week they are playing

534
00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:41,120
Speaker 1: the Arizona Cardinals. Vance Joseph I believe is the worst

535
00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:44,680
Speaker 1: defensive coordinator in the NFL. I do not think there

536
00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:48,960
Speaker 1: is any defensive coordinator that I'd rather have less. I

537
00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:52,080
Speaker 1: think he is terrible. There were a couple of clips

538
00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:54,719
Speaker 1: last week when the Arizona Cardinals played the Detroit Lions.

539
00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:58,320
Speaker 1: Their first two touchdowns, not a dude within ten yards

540
00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:00,679
Speaker 1: of them. It was the guy caught the and walked

541
00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:04,320
Speaker 1: in the end zone. It was a joke. So if

542
00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:07,320
Speaker 1: Lamar does it again, we'll have double the reaction like

543
00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:09,960
Speaker 1: this guy is for real. And again I'm not gonna

544
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:12,280
Speaker 1: diminish what he's doing. I'm rooting for him. I hope

545
00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:16,080
Speaker 1: he's good, but I'm not going to say I'm wrong

546
00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:20,160
Speaker 1: or annointing him as this up and coming star until

547
00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:22,399
Speaker 1: he does it against some teams that matter, against some

548
00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:25,199
Speaker 1: teams that are actually well coached, against some teams and

549
00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:28,119
Speaker 1: players that actually know what they're doing. I expect Lamar

550
00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:31,320
Speaker 1: Jackson to keep the crap out of Vans Joseph because, again,

551
00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:33,439
Speaker 1: I truly believe in my core. I'm not just saying this.

552
00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:36,000
Speaker 1: He's the worst defensive coordinator in the NFL in two

553
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:39,359
Speaker 1: thousand nineteen, I think it'd be You'd be hard pressed

554
00:27:39,359 --> 00:27:42,320
Speaker 1: to find even a close second. And same thing with

555
00:27:42,440 --> 00:27:44,639
Speaker 1: Josh Allen, like I actually was pretty impressed Josh Allen's

556
00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:47,679
Speaker 1: playing Greig Williams. Their defense still isn't great. He's not

557
00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:50,000
Speaker 1: very accurate, made some big plays down the stretch. I'm

558
00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:52,840
Speaker 1: rooting for him both and I learned this in the preseason.

559
00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:54,840
Speaker 1: I think it's why so many fans are always so

560
00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:58,320
Speaker 1: shocked when guys get cut. Context is huge. If you

561
00:27:58,400 --> 00:28:00,080
Speaker 1: run for a hundred yards in the fourth cour or

562
00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:02,920
Speaker 1: of a preseason game, no one in the NFL gives damn.

563
00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:04,639
Speaker 1: You're going up against a bunch of guys that are

564
00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:07,520
Speaker 1: gonna be selling insurance, a bunch of guys that are

565
00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:10,000
Speaker 1: their football careers are gonna end September one when they

566
00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:12,960
Speaker 1: get cut. You see all these guys to like lead

567
00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:16,320
Speaker 1: the preseason in sacks, three or four sacks. They're going

568
00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:20,920
Speaker 1: up against offensive tackles who will never ever sniff a

569
00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:24,560
Speaker 1: practice squad, let alone an NFL game, and they go, oh,

570
00:28:24,600 --> 00:28:28,040
Speaker 1: we cut that guy. He had five sacks in the preseason. Yeah,

571
00:28:28,040 --> 00:28:30,119
Speaker 1: no one gives a ship. Literally, no one in the

572
00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:34,119
Speaker 1: NFL cares because the context of well, the right tackle

573
00:28:34,440 --> 00:28:36,800
Speaker 1: took one step and he couldn't even touch him. He

574
00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:39,480
Speaker 1: was slower than molasses. So the guy ran riding around

575
00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:41,520
Speaker 1: him untouched. You see a lot with running backs or

576
00:28:41,520 --> 00:28:44,760
Speaker 1: wide receivers in the preseason. They are wide open in

577
00:28:44,800 --> 00:28:48,360
Speaker 1: the NFL typically unless there's a blown assignment, which even

578
00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:51,720
Speaker 1: happens with good teams. For the most part, you have

579
00:28:51,840 --> 00:28:55,600
Speaker 1: to complete as a quarterback, contested ball like balls in

580
00:28:55,680 --> 00:28:59,840
Speaker 1: tight areas right where the defensive back is relatively close.

581
00:29:00,520 --> 00:29:05,320
Speaker 1: You good quarterbacks have to throw guys open and I

582
00:29:05,480 --> 00:29:08,120
Speaker 1: just we'll see if he can do that against good teams.

583
00:29:08,200 --> 00:29:10,360
Speaker 1: I hope he can't. Like I'm not rooting against him,

584
00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:14,520
Speaker 1: I promise you. Even Dak Prescott, I believe more in

585
00:29:14,560 --> 00:29:17,040
Speaker 1: the Cowboys because I think they actually have talent and

586
00:29:17,040 --> 00:29:19,360
Speaker 1: we have seen them play well down the stretch against

587
00:29:19,360 --> 00:29:21,640
Speaker 1: good teams. Plus, as you know, if you've listened to

588
00:29:21,640 --> 00:29:24,560
Speaker 1: the show, I like Kellen Moore. I think he's really

589
00:29:24,560 --> 00:29:26,920
Speaker 1: good coach. But if you go back and watch the

590
00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:30,120
Speaker 1: Cowboys against the Giants, he did hit some wide open guys.

591
00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:32,120
Speaker 1: And I'm not saying like two or three yards, I'm

592
00:29:32,160 --> 00:29:35,760
Speaker 1: talking like six or seven yard radiuses. So if this

593
00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:38,160
Speaker 1: offense is super explosive, let's see it when there is

594
00:29:38,200 --> 00:29:41,120
Speaker 1: a guy just remotely in the area. Now, the difference

595
00:29:41,160 --> 00:29:44,960
Speaker 1: between Dak and those two guys is he's proven it before.

596
00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:47,360
Speaker 1: Not at like the highest level like he's Peyton Manning

597
00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:50,040
Speaker 1: or Tom Brady, Drew Brees or anything, but we have

598
00:29:50,320 --> 00:29:52,400
Speaker 1: two or three years a body of evidence that he

599
00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:55,040
Speaker 1: can do it against good teams. He doesn't always do

600
00:29:55,040 --> 00:29:57,200
Speaker 1: it against good teams, but I've seen it. Let's wait

601
00:29:57,200 --> 00:30:00,560
Speaker 1: and see before we anoint this guy as the next

602
00:30:00,560 --> 00:30:03,680
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame quarterback, which hell, he might be I mean,

603
00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:07,440
Speaker 1: if he keeps doing this against good teams, ship he

604
00:30:07,520 --> 00:30:09,840
Speaker 1: might win the m v P this year. But I

605
00:30:09,840 --> 00:30:13,440
Speaker 1: I can't even pretend to act like we know for

606
00:30:13,520 --> 00:30:17,560
Speaker 1: sure that Lamar is the dude now. He clearly has

607
00:30:17,640 --> 00:30:20,920
Speaker 1: some dude qualities. As my guy Yogi Roth would say,

608
00:30:21,320 --> 00:30:24,680
Speaker 1: he's he looks more natural throwing the football. I feel

609
00:30:24,680 --> 00:30:27,360
Speaker 1: like this year, and that's you know, the second year player.

610
00:30:27,360 --> 00:30:29,760
Speaker 1: He spent all offseason working on it. He's got a

611
00:30:29,840 --> 00:30:33,520
Speaker 1: high level NFL coach despite you know, Hardbo's not an

612
00:30:33,520 --> 00:30:37,080
Speaker 1: offensive genius or anything, but they're gonna emphasize the right

613
00:30:37,120 --> 00:30:41,120
Speaker 1: things in that organization. So he's clearly improved. Let's just

614
00:30:41,400 --> 00:30:45,160
Speaker 1: pump our brakes, let the context him play some good teams,

615
00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:48,760
Speaker 1: and then we can have some real reactions whether he

616
00:30:48,760 --> 00:30:54,040
Speaker 1: can play or not. Okay, if you and I walked

617
00:30:54,040 --> 00:30:58,080
Speaker 1: into a bank and attempted to rob the bank, we

618
00:30:58,120 --> 00:31:02,600
Speaker 1: would be arrested. But if you and I work for

619
00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:06,160
Speaker 1: a company and then they pay us a lot of

620
00:31:06,200 --> 00:31:11,680
Speaker 1: money and we don't necessarily do anything, you know, it's

621
00:31:11,720 --> 00:31:15,920
Speaker 1: not quite the same. But if we have a guaranteed contract,

622
00:31:16,320 --> 00:31:20,160
Speaker 1: I think you could consider us stealing some money. One

623
00:31:20,640 --> 00:31:24,800
Speaker 1: brings criminal charges the other you would just be judged

624
00:31:25,120 --> 00:31:31,040
Speaker 1: as a low level human. Chip Kelly currently, if it

625
00:31:31,160 --> 00:31:33,880
Speaker 1: was a crime to steal from U c l A,

626
00:31:34,680 --> 00:31:38,600
Speaker 1: he would be behind bars because he is currently and

627
00:31:38,640 --> 00:31:40,840
Speaker 1: he's done this for his last two jobs of the

628
00:31:40,880 --> 00:31:43,000
Speaker 1: forty Niners, and then again at U c l A

629
00:31:43,760 --> 00:31:49,760
Speaker 1: is stealing money, it is borderline criminal activity. Now I'm

630
00:31:49,760 --> 00:31:53,719
Speaker 1: not advocating to put chip Kelly behind bars, but I

631
00:31:53,760 --> 00:31:56,040
Speaker 1: am advocating that if I was U c l A.

632
00:31:56,800 --> 00:31:59,280
Speaker 1: Just like when Jed York after one year said this

633
00:31:59,360 --> 00:32:01,520
Speaker 1: is a joke, I gotta pay this guy to get

634
00:32:01,520 --> 00:32:05,280
Speaker 1: out of here because this is a disaster. Now, I

635
00:32:05,320 --> 00:32:10,040
Speaker 1: wouldn't call myself Mr. Analytics, but I like numbers. They

636
00:32:10,080 --> 00:32:13,280
Speaker 1: helped paint a picture and tell a story. Since Jeffrey

637
00:32:13,320 --> 00:32:16,920
Speaker 1: Lury told chip Kelly to pack his stuff and get

638
00:32:16,920 --> 00:32:19,560
Speaker 1: the hell out of his building, I think it was

639
00:32:19,640 --> 00:32:25,200
Speaker 1: a Tuesday night, Uh, weeks seventeen of when what year

640
00:32:25,240 --> 00:32:26,680
Speaker 1: with that? I don't even know what year that was

641
00:32:27,120 --> 00:32:30,120
Speaker 1: week seventeen though several years ago they were they were

642
00:32:30,120 --> 00:32:32,560
Speaker 1: getting ready for a game. He said, get out of here.

643
00:32:33,200 --> 00:32:36,440
Speaker 1: Chip Kelly has had two jobs. You coached the forty

644
00:32:36,520 --> 00:32:38,280
Speaker 1: Niners for a season and has now been at u

645
00:32:38,280 --> 00:32:42,040
Speaker 1: c l A for a season in two games during

646
00:32:42,080 --> 00:32:46,160
Speaker 1: that span, he's five and twenty five. He is one

647
00:32:46,240 --> 00:32:50,200
Speaker 1: of the biggest frauds going currently. Once upon a time

648
00:32:50,240 --> 00:32:53,920
Speaker 1: when he took over Oregon and Oregon born and race

649
00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:56,720
Speaker 1: here on the West Coast, when I was growing up,

650
00:32:57,200 --> 00:32:59,360
Speaker 1: and definitely once I got to junior high, high school

651
00:33:00,280 --> 00:33:05,160
Speaker 1: and an early in college, Mike Blody had that program

652
00:33:05,200 --> 00:33:08,640
Speaker 1: at a pretty high level. They were a consistent top

653
00:33:09,480 --> 00:33:12,120
Speaker 1: program and they would have their moments where they were

654
00:33:12,200 --> 00:33:15,400
Speaker 1: top twelve ten team. Now, they were never winning a

655
00:33:15,480 --> 00:33:19,000
Speaker 1: national championship or even necessarily competing for a national championship,

656
00:33:19,720 --> 00:33:23,320
Speaker 1: but they were a damn good program. They were really good.

657
00:33:23,640 --> 00:33:26,280
Speaker 1: Now he hires Chip Kelly in the late two thousand's

658
00:33:26,920 --> 00:33:29,120
Speaker 1: Chips and OC for one year and then he takes

659
00:33:29,200 --> 00:33:32,640
Speaker 1: over and they he takes it to another level. But

660
00:33:32,720 --> 00:33:38,040
Speaker 1: they had consistently, and let me repeat, consistently got NFL players,

661
00:33:38,720 --> 00:33:41,840
Speaker 1: And some would argue they actually produced better NFL players

662
00:33:42,280 --> 00:33:46,160
Speaker 1: under Bloody than they did under Chip. But it can't

663
00:33:46,200 --> 00:33:49,440
Speaker 1: be disputed that Chip took him to a higher level. Now,

664
00:33:49,560 --> 00:33:52,280
Speaker 1: you could argue that Pete Carroll got out of there,

665
00:33:52,440 --> 00:33:56,120
Speaker 1: hardball went to the forty niners and especially the the

666
00:33:56,240 --> 00:33:59,400
Speaker 1: Pack twelve North was pretty down, but I'm not trying

667
00:33:59,400 --> 00:34:02,680
Speaker 1: to diminish its accomplishments. Organ he was damn good. Though.

668
00:34:03,120 --> 00:34:05,880
Speaker 1: Some of my friends that worked at places like Alabama

669
00:34:06,240 --> 00:34:08,359
Speaker 1: used to laugh and call Chip Kelly the paper champ.

670
00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:12,000
Speaker 1: But regardless, I'm not gonna make fun of Chip Kelly's

671
00:34:12,040 --> 00:34:15,960
Speaker 1: resume at Oregon. He goes to Philly, he actually inherits

672
00:34:16,360 --> 00:34:19,719
Speaker 1: a very very talented four and twelve team. Remember it

673
00:34:19,760 --> 00:34:22,360
Speaker 1: was a perfect storm, and he gets fired. He inherits

674
00:34:22,360 --> 00:34:26,840
Speaker 1: guys like Michael Vick, Nick Foles, Lashawn McCoy, DeShawn Jackson,

675
00:34:27,200 --> 00:34:34,239
Speaker 1: Jeremy Macklin, Brent Selick, Jason Kelsey, Jason Peters, drafts. You know, uh,

676
00:34:34,360 --> 00:34:36,480
Speaker 1: Lane Johnson right up the bat has a good team,

677
00:34:36,560 --> 00:34:39,919
Speaker 1: has a really good team. I think Fletcher Cox already there.

678
00:34:40,600 --> 00:34:42,879
Speaker 1: And then after a couple of years he eventually got

679
00:34:42,920 --> 00:34:46,560
Speaker 1: exposed because he did one thing that was much different

680
00:34:46,560 --> 00:34:50,120
Speaker 1: than anyone else. What ten plus years ago, the pace

681
00:34:50,360 --> 00:34:56,240
Speaker 1: of his offense was unique. Well, what usually happens in society,

682
00:34:56,280 --> 00:35:02,359
Speaker 1: in business, in sports, when something works, people copy it right,

683
00:35:02,840 --> 00:35:06,960
Speaker 1: people steal the ideas, because i'mlike Taco Tuesday, as Lebron

684
00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:11,279
Speaker 1: found out, or actually like Taco Tuesday. You can't copyright that.

685
00:35:11,400 --> 00:35:14,880
Speaker 1: You can't hold something that anyone can use to yourself.

686
00:35:15,440 --> 00:35:19,040
Speaker 1: Like you can't copyright a football play. You can't copyright

687
00:35:19,320 --> 00:35:22,680
Speaker 1: a concept. Anyone can use it. So what did everyone

688
00:35:22,719 --> 00:35:26,879
Speaker 1: do in the NFL? And in college? They copied Chip Kelly?

689
00:35:27,040 --> 00:35:31,840
Speaker 1: So everyone, especially in two thousand nineteen, is doing what

690
00:35:32,040 --> 00:35:36,000
Speaker 1: Chip Kelly wants did. So what happens when you have

691
00:35:36,080 --> 00:35:40,520
Speaker 1: a great pitch, you throw an incredible fastball and people

692
00:35:40,560 --> 00:35:43,520
Speaker 1: start hitting your fastball? What would you imagine Your pitching

693
00:35:43,560 --> 00:35:46,800
Speaker 1: coach will tell you, let's work on a secondary pitch

694
00:35:47,200 --> 00:35:50,080
Speaker 1: to keep them off balance. So I always thought, well,

695
00:35:50,560 --> 00:35:53,640
Speaker 1: you know, Chips is innovative, super smart guy. Let's see

696
00:35:53,680 --> 00:35:56,520
Speaker 1: if he's got something elp, some something else up as sleep.

697
00:35:57,239 --> 00:35:59,480
Speaker 1: And you know what, it turns out he has nothing

698
00:35:59,520 --> 00:36:03,120
Speaker 1: else up sleep. He could do one thing and that

699
00:36:03,239 --> 00:36:06,440
Speaker 1: was operated a super high speed. But like I said,

700
00:36:06,560 --> 00:36:10,200
Speaker 1: now everyone in the country, pro and college does it.

701
00:36:11,160 --> 00:36:14,560
Speaker 1: And here's the problem. Chip has a couple of fundamental flaws.

702
00:36:15,719 --> 00:36:19,279
Speaker 1: One is he's terrible at hiring coaches. He had a

703
00:36:19,320 --> 00:36:21,680
Speaker 1: good staff at Oregan. You know what he had at Oregon,

704
00:36:22,320 --> 00:36:25,920
Speaker 1: A lot of inherited coaches. The Ballotti had on staff.

705
00:36:26,480 --> 00:36:28,279
Speaker 1: If you go back and look at the people on

706
00:36:28,320 --> 00:36:31,319
Speaker 1: his staff during the years of him kicking ass, the

707
00:36:31,360 --> 00:36:33,800
Speaker 1: majority of them were on Mike Ballotti staff and he

708
00:36:33,920 --> 00:36:36,839
Speaker 1: kept When you look at his staff when he got

709
00:36:36,880 --> 00:36:39,759
Speaker 1: to Philadelphia, he didn't know anyone. The Eagles had to

710
00:36:39,760 --> 00:36:42,799
Speaker 1: help him hire people when he got fired in Philadelphia

711
00:36:42,880 --> 00:36:45,160
Speaker 1: and got the forty Niners job. It's one of the

712
00:36:45,200 --> 00:36:48,719
Speaker 1: worst coaching staffs I've ever seen in philip When he

713
00:36:48,719 --> 00:36:51,560
Speaker 1: got the u c l A job, his defensive coordinator,

714
00:36:52,080 --> 00:36:55,959
Speaker 1: Jerry as An Arrow is a laughing stock in terms

715
00:36:56,040 --> 00:36:58,439
Speaker 1: of when he got hired. Everyone I know that's worked

716
00:36:58,440 --> 00:37:01,920
Speaker 1: around him said, he hired that to be his defensive coordinator.

717
00:37:02,400 --> 00:37:05,799
Speaker 1: And if you're Chip Kelly, your most important higher by

718
00:37:05,840 --> 00:37:09,960
Speaker 1: a mile is your defensive coordinator because you know nothing

719
00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:13,440
Speaker 1: about defense. So he hires his. I mean, Jerry asneris

720
00:37:13,480 --> 00:37:15,879
Speaker 1: like his best friend, a defensive line coach that knows

721
00:37:15,920 --> 00:37:19,600
Speaker 1: nothing about coverages, So that's his defensive line coach. He's

722
00:37:19,800 --> 00:37:23,360
Speaker 1: He's a terrible evaluator of coaches. And this leads me

723
00:37:23,400 --> 00:37:27,440
Speaker 1: into personnel he's even worse at personnel and the biggest

724
00:37:27,440 --> 00:37:31,680
Speaker 1: problem in college. Unlike the pros, you don't get to

725
00:37:31,680 --> 00:37:34,719
Speaker 1: pick the players in uh in college, you have to

726
00:37:34,760 --> 00:37:37,839
Speaker 1: recruit them. And you know what Chip Kelly hates. He

727
00:37:37,960 --> 00:37:40,480
Speaker 1: hates recruiting. I know this for a fact because I

728
00:37:40,480 --> 00:37:42,719
Speaker 1: know multiple people that have worked for him at U

729
00:37:42,719 --> 00:37:44,919
Speaker 1: c l A. There are no longer there. They say

730
00:37:44,920 --> 00:37:48,520
Speaker 1: it's a joke. And his recruiting ranking show he can't

731
00:37:48,520 --> 00:37:51,520
Speaker 1: even crack like the top forty five. Say one thing

732
00:37:51,520 --> 00:37:53,200
Speaker 1: for Jim Mora, and I don't think Jim Moore is

733
00:37:53,239 --> 00:37:56,279
Speaker 1: a very good coach. He actively tried to recruit, He

734
00:37:56,400 --> 00:37:59,080
Speaker 1: made it a priority, and he consistently had top twenty,

735
00:37:59,120 --> 00:38:02,680
Speaker 1: top fifteen classes. He got really good players. Once upon

736
00:38:02,719 --> 00:38:04,840
Speaker 1: a time, Kenny Clark, who's now at the Green Bay Packers,

737
00:38:05,160 --> 00:38:08,560
Speaker 1: star defensive tackle, his dad was in prison. Jim Mora

738
00:38:08,640 --> 00:38:09,920
Speaker 1: wanted him to come to u c l A. He

739
00:38:09,920 --> 00:38:11,839
Speaker 1: went to prison and talked to his dad and tried

740
00:38:11,880 --> 00:38:13,800
Speaker 1: to recruit his dad to get him to say okay.

741
00:38:13,920 --> 00:38:15,919
Speaker 1: He made a big effort. Say what you want about

742
00:38:15,920 --> 00:38:18,000
Speaker 1: Clay Hilton. I don't know if Clay hiltons a good

743
00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:20,120
Speaker 1: coach or not. I know, he busts his ass and

744
00:38:20,160 --> 00:38:22,880
Speaker 1: works his ass off to recruit kids. You know, whether

745
00:38:22,920 --> 00:38:25,640
Speaker 1: he can or not, you know, that's a different story.

746
00:38:25,719 --> 00:38:29,759
Speaker 1: But he tries, He really tries. Think about Think if

747
00:38:29,760 --> 00:38:33,360
Speaker 1: I said a really good coach in college doesn't like recruiting,

748
00:38:33,360 --> 00:38:36,560
Speaker 1: would you ever say that about Nick Saban, about Dabblo Sweeney,

749
00:38:36,600 --> 00:38:42,400
Speaker 1: about Urban Meyer, about Jim Harbaugh, about Lincoln Riley? These

750
00:38:42,440 --> 00:38:45,279
Speaker 1: guys take it so seriously. Here's the other thing about

751
00:38:45,280 --> 00:38:47,640
Speaker 1: Lincoln Riley, who's kind of the modern day Chip Kelly.

752
00:38:47,760 --> 00:38:49,680
Speaker 1: Do you know what I knew? Lincoln Riley was way different,

753
00:38:49,760 --> 00:38:52,640
Speaker 1: Chip Kelly. I remember Baker Mayfield sophomore year and they

754
00:38:52,640 --> 00:38:54,600
Speaker 1: got down in the red zone and he put Baker

755
00:38:54,680 --> 00:38:57,480
Speaker 1: under center, and he put multiple big heavies in there,

756
00:38:57,480 --> 00:38:59,919
Speaker 1: basically like a fullback. I think he had a fullback. Chip,

757
00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:02,720
Speaker 1: don't use the fullback. Anyone that doesn't use the fullback

758
00:39:02,760 --> 00:39:05,520
Speaker 1: I immediately red flag. I think you're Are you you

759
00:39:05,600 --> 00:39:08,760
Speaker 1: just too stubborn or are you just incapable of coaching

760
00:39:08,800 --> 00:39:10,960
Speaker 1: the guy? Chip? Can you not put your quarterback under center?

761
00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:14,560
Speaker 1: Are you incapable of coaching the quarterback? Center? Exchange? Do

762
00:39:14,560 --> 00:39:18,360
Speaker 1: you not understand that. And the most head scratchy thing

763
00:39:18,440 --> 00:39:22,000
Speaker 1: about this is Casey Wasserman, who's the super rich l

764
00:39:22,040 --> 00:39:25,319
Speaker 1: a guy, super powerful guy, and Troy Aikman, who's been

765
00:39:25,400 --> 00:39:28,239
Speaker 1: around the NFL forever obviously who does the Fox game,

766
00:39:28,280 --> 00:39:31,680
Speaker 1: so he's around the NFC, were the two guys leading

767
00:39:31,680 --> 00:39:34,799
Speaker 1: the charge to higher chip Kelly. I can't comprehend how

768
00:39:34,840 --> 00:39:37,600
Speaker 1: Troy Aikman, who has done a million Eagle games over

769
00:39:37,640 --> 00:39:39,640
Speaker 1: the years and even has done some forty Niner games

770
00:39:39,640 --> 00:39:42,239
Speaker 1: over the years, wouldn't reach out to them and be like,

771
00:39:42,320 --> 00:39:45,400
Speaker 1: what's this guy's deal and get some intel. It was

772
00:39:45,440 --> 00:39:47,640
Speaker 1: like he lived in the past and like two thousand twelve,

773
00:39:47,719 --> 00:39:50,719
Speaker 1: two thirteen, and like we're getting the Oregon version of

774
00:39:50,800 --> 00:39:53,560
Speaker 1: chip Kelly again, the saying you're either getting better or

775
00:39:53,560 --> 00:39:56,120
Speaker 1: you're getting worse. You're either growing or dying. Chip Kelly

776
00:39:56,120 --> 00:39:59,640
Speaker 1: hasn't changed at all. He refuses to adapt. So the

777
00:39:59,680 --> 00:40:03,239
Speaker 1: guy that they hired is no different than he was

778
00:40:03,480 --> 00:40:05,799
Speaker 1: seven years ago. But that's not good enough to win now.

779
00:40:07,360 --> 00:40:11,560
Speaker 1: And when you hate recruiting at a school that is

780
00:40:11,600 --> 00:40:14,080
Speaker 1: not really even though it's a great school and I

781
00:40:14,080 --> 00:40:17,320
Speaker 1: would love to play football there, it's not a football powerhouse.

782
00:40:17,360 --> 00:40:19,400
Speaker 1: You do have to make some effort. Jim Mora is

783
00:40:19,400 --> 00:40:21,640
Speaker 1: a good example that Rick newhis was good. They did

784
00:40:21,840 --> 00:40:24,799
Speaker 1: try at recruiting. That doesn't mean you're necessarily gonna win.

785
00:40:24,840 --> 00:40:27,080
Speaker 1: You didn't have to be able to coach. Skut refuses

786
00:40:27,080 --> 00:40:30,320
Speaker 1: to try a recruiting So when I see that he

787
00:40:30,360 --> 00:40:33,000
Speaker 1: gets his ass kicked by Cincinnati. He loses the San

788
00:40:33,040 --> 00:40:35,239
Speaker 1: Diego State that's never beat U c l A in

789
00:40:35,600 --> 00:40:39,160
Speaker 1: program history. He's playing Lincoln Riley in Oklahoma this week.

790
00:40:39,520 --> 00:40:43,840
Speaker 1: They're a twenty three point underdog. I read today that

791
00:40:44,080 --> 00:40:46,600
Speaker 1: ever U c l A season ticket holder has been

792
00:40:46,680 --> 00:40:49,440
Speaker 1: offered four free tickets for this game. Again. U c

793
00:40:49,640 --> 00:40:51,400
Speaker 1: l A is hosting a top five team in the

794
00:40:51,400 --> 00:40:53,840
Speaker 1: country at the Rose Bowl. And you know what, U

795
00:40:53,840 --> 00:40:56,520
Speaker 1: c l A and the administration knows they have no

796
00:40:56,640 --> 00:40:59,960
Speaker 1: chance of filling this thing up halfway. They're giving away

797
00:41:00,080 --> 00:41:04,080
Speaker 1: for free tickets per season ticket holder. Last game against

798
00:41:04,080 --> 00:41:06,600
Speaker 1: San Diego State, they had thirty five thousand people there.

799
00:41:06,880 --> 00:41:09,120
Speaker 1: This isn't your typical stadium out west. It holds about

800
00:41:09,200 --> 00:41:13,120
Speaker 1: ninety five thousand people. Chip Kelly, is now you losing

801
00:41:13,200 --> 00:41:15,440
Speaker 1: U c l A a lot of money, just like

802
00:41:15,440 --> 00:41:17,799
Speaker 1: a couple of years ago with Jed York the place.

803
00:41:17,920 --> 00:41:21,160
Speaker 1: The apathy sent in in the Bay Area are one

804
00:41:21,160 --> 00:41:23,880
Speaker 1: of the biggest brands in the NFL. No one cared.

805
00:41:24,200 --> 00:41:27,879
Speaker 1: People couldn't even watch it. It It was embarrassing. Chip Kelly

806
00:41:27,920 --> 00:41:31,680
Speaker 1: is a disaster. He's currently a fraud. He's stealing money

807
00:41:31,680 --> 00:41:33,520
Speaker 1: from U C. L A. But this is what you

808
00:41:33,560 --> 00:41:35,280
Speaker 1: get when you live in the rear view mirror instead

809
00:41:35,280 --> 00:41:38,960
Speaker 1: of looking forward, because he refuses to change. He hates recruiting,

810
00:41:39,320 --> 00:41:42,719
Speaker 1: he's not good at evaluating coaches. And this myth of

811
00:41:42,760 --> 00:41:44,680
Speaker 1: being this guy that was kicking ass in two thousand

812
00:41:44,719 --> 00:41:47,799
Speaker 1: twelve is exactly what it is now in two nine.

813
00:41:48,080 --> 00:41:50,200
Speaker 1: It's a myth. It's a thing of the past, and

814
00:41:50,239 --> 00:41:54,040
Speaker 1: I'll promise you one thing, it's never coming back. Okay,

815
00:41:54,080 --> 00:41:56,759
Speaker 1: let's dive into the games. I just wrote them all

816
00:41:56,800 --> 00:42:00,400
Speaker 1: down Sunday's games, and we'll just bang them out. Try spend,

817
00:42:00,520 --> 00:42:02,560
Speaker 1: you know, just less than a minute on each one.

818
00:42:02,640 --> 00:42:07,000
Speaker 1: Colts at Titans, Colts getting three points. I think this

819
00:42:07,080 --> 00:42:09,560
Speaker 1: is the ultimate coin flip game. I actually like both

820
00:42:09,600 --> 00:42:12,680
Speaker 1: these two teams. Obviously, Tennessee kicked the crap out of

821
00:42:12,880 --> 00:42:17,640
Speaker 1: Cleveland and Cleveland. Indie had a really impressive comeback. Uh.

822
00:42:17,880 --> 00:42:20,279
Speaker 1: You know, the Indies kind of owned this matchup, but

823
00:42:20,440 --> 00:42:23,399
Speaker 1: a lot of that is luck. I think both these

824
00:42:23,440 --> 00:42:27,680
Speaker 1: two teams are both fringe wild card teams. Uh. Frank

825
00:42:27,680 --> 00:42:29,920
Speaker 1: Wright has established himself as a really good coach. I'm

826
00:42:29,960 --> 00:42:33,160
Speaker 1: a big Vrabel guy. I you know, I I just

827
00:42:33,200 --> 00:42:36,719
Speaker 1: probably wouldn't bet this game. I'm not going to. Uh,

828
00:42:36,840 --> 00:42:39,960
Speaker 1: all right, this is nothing would shock me in this game.

829
00:42:40,000 --> 00:42:43,040
Speaker 1: I'd probably lean Tennessee because they're at home, but you know,

830
00:42:43,080 --> 00:42:45,120
Speaker 1: t Y Hilton is gonna be a problem for them.

831
00:42:45,360 --> 00:42:47,040
Speaker 1: I'm excited to watch this game. It's one of the

832
00:42:47,040 --> 00:42:51,239
Speaker 1: better morning games. Chargers at Lions. Matt Stafford actually played

833
00:42:51,280 --> 00:42:53,960
Speaker 1: pretty well. I think that they just kind of ran

834
00:42:54,000 --> 00:42:57,279
Speaker 1: out of gas. You know, against Arizona. The Chargers had

835
00:42:57,320 --> 00:43:00,800
Speaker 1: a horrific week. I mean, Hunter Henry's hurt, Mike Williams

836
00:43:00,800 --> 00:43:04,759
Speaker 1: is hurt. They're just obviously Derwin James hurt, Melvin Gordon

837
00:43:04,800 --> 00:43:08,080
Speaker 1: has already found. They're just losing dudes like left and right.

838
00:43:08,560 --> 00:43:11,920
Speaker 1: Their offensive line stinks. I actually think the Lions bounce

839
00:43:11,960 --> 00:43:14,160
Speaker 1: back and get this, get this win. I actually don't

840
00:43:14,160 --> 00:43:15,879
Speaker 1: love the Chargers as much as I did a couple

841
00:43:15,920 --> 00:43:19,479
Speaker 1: of weeks ago. I'm not sure they're a lock playoff team,

842
00:43:19,560 --> 00:43:22,960
Speaker 1: especially the way that game went against the Colts. Colts

843
00:43:22,960 --> 00:43:25,680
Speaker 1: were just kind of rusty, but once they flipped the switch,

844
00:43:25,719 --> 00:43:26,960
Speaker 1: I mean they kind of kick their butt in the

845
00:43:27,000 --> 00:43:32,320
Speaker 1: second half. Bills at the Giants got the Giants stink.

846
00:43:32,520 --> 00:43:34,719
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna spend I have no no take on them.

847
00:43:34,760 --> 00:43:37,080
Speaker 1: Besides se Kwan Barkley is the man and everyone else

848
00:43:37,080 --> 00:43:39,600
Speaker 1: and their team is awful. I actually think the Bills,

849
00:43:39,680 --> 00:43:43,520
Speaker 1: now that Sam Donald has mono nucleosis and it's likely

850
00:43:43,520 --> 00:43:46,120
Speaker 1: to probably like miss a month, I think the Bills

851
00:43:46,160 --> 00:43:48,240
Speaker 1: are not just a lock to finish second in that division.

852
00:43:48,320 --> 00:43:51,840
Speaker 1: I think they're sneaky wild card team. I think the

853
00:43:51,840 --> 00:43:55,759
Speaker 1: Bills destroy the Giants. I think it'll be a pretty apathetic,

854
00:43:55,840 --> 00:43:59,160
Speaker 1: angry crowd too. In in Jersey. I think people hate

855
00:43:59,160 --> 00:44:03,279
Speaker 1: this Giant's team. Arizona at Baltimore. UH talked about it

856
00:44:03,320 --> 00:44:05,960
Speaker 1: earlier with the Ravens. I mean, the Ravens should kill them.

857
00:44:06,000 --> 00:44:09,640
Speaker 1: They're huge favorite, thirteen points at home, and Kyler Murray's

858
00:44:09,640 --> 00:44:11,439
Speaker 1: gonna go on the road in Baltimore and win this game.

859
00:44:11,480 --> 00:44:16,640
Speaker 1: No chance I would imagine that. Unlike the Dolphins game

860
00:44:17,440 --> 00:44:19,960
Speaker 1: that not that hardball, won't try to run up the score,

861
00:44:20,080 --> 00:44:22,200
Speaker 1: but if they're up like twenty to nothing in the

862
00:44:22,280 --> 00:44:24,360
Speaker 1: first half, he'll just run the same play over and

863
00:44:24,440 --> 00:44:27,880
Speaker 1: over and over and over again. I guess because Arizona

864
00:44:27,960 --> 00:44:30,120
Speaker 1: just came back, he'll be a little more aggressive, But

865
00:44:30,880 --> 00:44:32,759
Speaker 1: I don't think he really wants to win another game

866
00:44:32,840 --> 00:44:36,399
Speaker 1: fifty to ten because you just don't want to throw

867
00:44:36,440 --> 00:44:39,480
Speaker 1: all your plays out there. And I'm not saying karma

868
00:44:39,560 --> 00:44:41,960
Speaker 1: or anything, because it's pro sports. You score as much

869
00:44:42,000 --> 00:44:44,719
Speaker 1: as possible, but you don't want to show people a

870
00:44:44,760 --> 00:44:46,759
Speaker 1: lot of plays if you don't have to. So I

871
00:44:46,800 --> 00:44:50,640
Speaker 1: think Baltimore will just try to just smother Arizona. Expect

872
00:44:50,640 --> 00:44:53,879
Speaker 1: Baltimore to win fight a guest like seven to three.

873
00:44:55,160 --> 00:44:57,239
Speaker 1: New England at Miami. I mean, what's to be said,

874
00:44:57,560 --> 00:44:59,200
Speaker 1: best team in the league. It's the worst team in

875
00:44:59,200 --> 00:45:02,280
Speaker 1: the league. Break news making Fitzpatrick's probably gonna get traded.

876
00:45:02,800 --> 00:45:07,719
Speaker 1: The the line is enormous. It's the biggest Patriot spread

877
00:45:08,080 --> 00:45:11,160
Speaker 1: as a road team since two thousand and ten, eighteen

878
00:45:11,200 --> 00:45:14,640
Speaker 1: and a half points. I mean, Miami, you're just a joke,

879
00:45:15,080 --> 00:45:18,080
Speaker 1: and we know the Patriots are good. Dallas at Washington.

880
00:45:18,719 --> 00:45:20,839
Speaker 1: Here's the thing. The Cowboys kind of kick the crap

881
00:45:20,840 --> 00:45:23,000
Speaker 1: out of the Giants because the Giants defense is so

882
00:45:23,040 --> 00:45:25,160
Speaker 1: horrendous they couldn't. I mean, they weren't even close to

883
00:45:25,160 --> 00:45:28,560
Speaker 1: wide receivers. I think Washington's a little bit better, I mean,

884
00:45:28,600 --> 00:45:30,840
Speaker 1: actually a lot better than the Giants. Still not a

885
00:45:30,880 --> 00:45:34,320
Speaker 1: great team. I'm just interested, Like, does anyone in Washington

886
00:45:34,360 --> 00:45:36,719
Speaker 1: even care about the Redskins? Not necessarily they don't like

887
00:45:36,840 --> 00:45:41,000
Speaker 1: the Redskins, but just hate Dan Snyder, hate the coaching

888
00:45:41,000 --> 00:45:45,000
Speaker 1: staff are just tired of everything, you know, using that

889
00:45:45,040 --> 00:45:47,920
Speaker 1: word again. The apathy Like this sucks. I mean it

890
00:45:47,960 --> 00:45:50,760
Speaker 1: has to suck to be a Redskins fan. It really

891
00:45:50,840 --> 00:45:54,760
Speaker 1: does just the same thing every year. Like I feel

892
00:45:54,760 --> 00:45:57,040
Speaker 1: for you guys. I'd expect Dallas to win the game.

893
00:45:57,080 --> 00:45:59,520
Speaker 1: But if I did bet on, I probably take the

894
00:45:59,600 --> 00:46:02,640
Speaker 1: Redskins plus six because eventually the Redskins are maybe not

895
00:46:02,719 --> 00:46:05,920
Speaker 1: win a game, but play someone close. This game is

896
00:46:05,920 --> 00:46:09,360
Speaker 1: actually sneaky, pretty good. Jacksonville, Houston, I mean Houston, what

897
00:46:09,480 --> 00:46:12,799
Speaker 1: a devastating loss Monday night when they I mean up

898
00:46:13,360 --> 00:46:15,520
Speaker 1: with what thirty seconds left and to give up that

899
00:46:15,560 --> 00:46:19,520
Speaker 1: field goal. Gardner Minshew starting at quarterback who was actually

900
00:46:19,600 --> 00:46:22,439
Speaker 1: pretty decent when he came in when Nick Foles broke

901
00:46:22,480 --> 00:46:26,759
Speaker 1: his clavical I would definitely take Jacksonville plus nine. I

902
00:46:26,760 --> 00:46:29,480
Speaker 1: expect Mintsho to be pretty good. I think they'll probably

903
00:46:29,520 --> 00:46:31,160
Speaker 1: gonna have to change their game plan a little bit

904
00:46:31,200 --> 00:46:33,040
Speaker 1: and try to control the clock a little bit more

905
00:46:33,160 --> 00:46:36,759
Speaker 1: with Leonard Fournett. H you watch this game will be

906
00:46:36,760 --> 00:46:38,600
Speaker 1: a little closer that. There were some pretty good sound

907
00:46:38,640 --> 00:46:45,040
Speaker 1: bites of DeAndre Hopkins talking about uh about Jalen Ramsey,

908
00:46:45,080 --> 00:46:47,640
Speaker 1: how he's the only corner in the league that follows him.

909
00:46:47,680 --> 00:46:50,359
Speaker 1: So that's that's a pretty fun matchup Seattle at pitt

910
00:46:50,880 --> 00:46:53,200
Speaker 1: I mean, there's a must win for pit You can't

911
00:46:53,200 --> 00:46:56,160
Speaker 1: start owing to get your ass kicked by New England,

912
00:46:56,160 --> 00:46:58,440
Speaker 1: then Seattle, who didn't look that great, come in and

913
00:46:58,440 --> 00:47:01,520
Speaker 1: beat you. So I think it's just simple, like Pittsburgh

914
00:47:01,520 --> 00:47:03,279
Speaker 1: has to win this game. If they don't win this game,

915
00:47:03,280 --> 00:47:05,960
Speaker 1: we're gonna start talking about especially Baltimore, who's probably a

916
00:47:05,960 --> 00:47:09,000
Speaker 1: lock to win. In Arizona, they'd be two games behind

917
00:47:09,080 --> 00:47:12,359
Speaker 1: the Ravens and we're not even halfway through September. That

918
00:47:12,360 --> 00:47:14,880
Speaker 1: that would be a disaster. I don't like you know

919
00:47:14,880 --> 00:47:16,879
Speaker 1: I'm not trying to be hyperbole and use the word

920
00:47:16,960 --> 00:47:19,280
Speaker 1: must win, but this is a must win for Pittsburgh

921
00:47:19,760 --> 00:47:22,759
Speaker 1: forty Niners at since what's crazy is everyone around Rid

922
00:47:22,840 --> 00:47:25,360
Speaker 1: live like ah, the Niners beat Tampa, they're locked to

923
00:47:25,400 --> 00:47:27,320
Speaker 1: be two and oh well, if you watch the Bengals

924
00:47:27,360 --> 00:47:30,640
Speaker 1: against Seattle, the Bengals kind of kick Seattle's ass. They

925
00:47:30,640 --> 00:47:33,160
Speaker 1: were the more physical team. They were in a position

926
00:47:33,200 --> 00:47:34,879
Speaker 1: to win the game at the end, like in the

927
00:47:34,920 --> 00:47:37,040
Speaker 1: middle of the fourth quarter, they were in the red zone.

928
00:47:37,440 --> 00:47:39,080
Speaker 1: They had to settle first field goal and that was

929
00:47:39,120 --> 00:47:43,600
Speaker 1: the final score. Well seventy one. If they score boom,

930
00:47:43,600 --> 00:47:47,000
Speaker 1: they go up one, they probably win the game. So

931
00:47:48,400 --> 00:47:51,000
Speaker 1: to me, there's a coin flip game too. Jimmy Garoppolo

932
00:47:51,120 --> 00:47:53,439
Speaker 1: did not play well last week. I don't have much

933
00:47:53,480 --> 00:47:57,120
Speaker 1: faith right now in Jimmy Garoppolo. I hope the Niners win,

934
00:47:57,280 --> 00:48:00,239
Speaker 1: but I was impressed with Zach Taylor. I mean, even

935
00:48:00,360 --> 00:48:03,800
Speaker 1: John Ross open the Bengals for being a quote unquote

936
00:48:03,800 --> 00:48:07,160
Speaker 1: bad team. Have some players, I mean Geno Atkins, John

937
00:48:07,239 --> 00:48:11,160
Speaker 1: Ross Mixings hurt right now. But Giovanni Bernard Andy Dalton

938
00:48:11,320 --> 00:48:14,719
Speaker 1: is not just some scrub. He's actually decent. So that's

939
00:48:14,800 --> 00:48:18,719
Speaker 1: that's actually a pretty decent interesting morning game, at least

940
00:48:18,760 --> 00:48:22,439
Speaker 1: for me. I don't know for you. Minnesota at Green Bay,

941
00:48:22,719 --> 00:48:24,719
Speaker 1: whoever wins this game is gonna be feeling pretty good.

942
00:48:25,120 --> 00:48:28,239
Speaker 1: I probably like Minnesota plus three. I'm not sure how

943
00:48:28,239 --> 00:48:30,120
Speaker 1: Green Bay is. If you listen to show you know

944
00:48:30,200 --> 00:48:34,640
Speaker 1: him very uh hesitant to say anything positive about the

945
00:48:34,680 --> 00:48:37,320
Speaker 1: head coach, Matt Lafleur, and then you watch hard Knocks

946
00:48:37,320 --> 00:48:39,280
Speaker 1: and Gruden goes alpha male on him on the fifty

947
00:48:39,320 --> 00:48:42,120
Speaker 1: yard line. I don't know, man, I just I'm not

948
00:48:42,160 --> 00:48:44,239
Speaker 1: seeing it with Green Bay. I think Minnesota is really good.

949
00:48:44,719 --> 00:48:47,160
Speaker 1: I think Dalvin Cook's humming. I think those two wide

950
00:48:47,160 --> 00:48:49,440
Speaker 1: receivers studs. I think their defense is really good. I

951
00:48:49,480 --> 00:48:53,160
Speaker 1: think Zimmer's just out for blood. I probably like Minnesota

952
00:48:53,200 --> 00:48:56,680
Speaker 1: straight up in this game. Kansas City, Oakland, this game

953
00:48:56,719 --> 00:48:59,799
Speaker 1: is pretty interesting now that Derek Carr looked awesome week one.

954
00:49:00,000 --> 00:49:02,040
Speaker 1: I mean, if Derek Clark can play well again, we

955
00:49:02,040 --> 00:49:04,880
Speaker 1: we might have a shootout with him and him and

956
00:49:04,920 --> 00:49:08,120
Speaker 1: Mahomes going back and forth. Now we've got two problems here.

957
00:49:08,120 --> 00:49:10,920
Speaker 1: If you're a Raider fan, One, Jonathan Abram, your first

958
00:49:11,000 --> 00:49:13,480
Speaker 1: round picks out for the season, with the labor Well,

959
00:49:13,560 --> 00:49:15,680
Speaker 1: Jonathan Abram would have been the guy. I mean they

960
00:49:15,760 --> 00:49:18,759
Speaker 1: drafted him to hit people hard and cover tight ends. Well,

961
00:49:18,920 --> 00:49:22,840
Speaker 1: who's gonna cover Travis Kelsey? Now, Karl Joseph's five ft six,

962
00:49:23,320 --> 00:49:25,799
Speaker 1: Travis Kelsey is like six three or six four. That's

963
00:49:26,280 --> 00:49:28,799
Speaker 1: this is basic basketball. You go up for a rebound, Well,

964
00:49:28,800 --> 00:49:30,440
Speaker 1: if you're six one and you're going up for a

965
00:49:30,440 --> 00:49:32,640
Speaker 1: rebound a guy six eight, the guy six eight is

966
00:49:32,680 --> 00:49:35,640
Speaker 1: probably gonna get the rebound. And Colton Miller last year

967
00:49:35,680 --> 00:49:40,400
Speaker 1: in England when Seattle had Frank Clark, Frank Clark destroyed him.

968
00:49:40,440 --> 00:49:42,600
Speaker 1: I'm not I'd have to look at the box score,

969
00:49:42,640 --> 00:49:44,520
Speaker 1: but I'm pretty sure Frank Clark has three or four

970
00:49:44,560 --> 00:49:47,759
Speaker 1: sacks and the number was definitely higher than two. And

971
00:49:47,800 --> 00:49:50,000
Speaker 1: it was just you thought Derek cart might get killed.

972
00:49:50,440 --> 00:49:53,400
Speaker 1: So Colton Miller, who's gonna line up with Frank Clark

973
00:49:53,480 --> 00:49:55,840
Speaker 1: looking right at him? And Frank Clark's better. Now Colton

974
00:49:55,880 --> 00:49:58,919
Speaker 1: Miller has improved too, but that could be a long

975
00:49:58,960 --> 00:50:03,160
Speaker 1: game for Oakland Saints at the Rams. Check out Jared

976
00:50:03,200 --> 00:50:06,240
Speaker 1: goss box score in the last two games UH Sunday

977
00:50:06,280 --> 00:50:09,720
Speaker 1: against Carolina and the Super Bowl. He's not playing well lately,

978
00:50:10,080 --> 00:50:12,719
Speaker 1: and Todd Gurley, the guy that really made that offense go,

979
00:50:13,080 --> 00:50:16,520
Speaker 1: is no longer Todd Gurley. He's basically just a rotational back.

980
00:50:17,080 --> 00:50:22,240
Speaker 1: Like that's kind of a problem. So I like the Rams.

981
00:50:22,640 --> 00:50:25,080
Speaker 1: Excuse me, I like the Saints in this game because

982
00:50:25,080 --> 00:50:26,400
Speaker 1: I don't think l A has that big of a

983
00:50:26,400 --> 00:50:28,919
Speaker 1: home field advantage. And at the end of the day,

984
00:50:29,000 --> 00:50:32,000
Speaker 1: I think the Saints are just pretty damn good. Bears

985
00:50:32,040 --> 00:50:34,120
Speaker 1: at Denver. Let me pull up some audio for you.

986
00:50:34,160 --> 00:50:36,640
Speaker 1: It is the best thing I heard all day long.

987
00:50:36,760 --> 00:50:38,920
Speaker 1: I I can't get enough of this. Okay, let me

988
00:50:39,080 --> 00:50:43,000
Speaker 1: this is This is Vic Fangio talking about Khalil Mack

989
00:50:43,239 --> 00:50:46,440
Speaker 1: the Bears go to Denver this weekend. I didn't know

990
00:50:46,480 --> 00:50:49,200
Speaker 1: a lot about him other than I knew he was

991
00:50:49,239 --> 00:50:52,280
Speaker 1: a good player because when he came out in college.

992
00:50:52,320 --> 00:50:55,400
Speaker 1: Out of college, we were drafting very late in the

993
00:50:55,440 --> 00:50:59,120
Speaker 1: first round in San Francisco at the time, so they said,

994
00:50:59,160 --> 00:51:01,279
Speaker 1: don't even bother watching him. So I didn't watch him

995
00:51:01,320 --> 00:51:04,719
Speaker 1: as a collegian, and with him in Oakland and me

996
00:51:04,800 --> 00:51:08,080
Speaker 1: and the NFC, I really didn't see him play a lot.

997
00:51:09,040 --> 00:51:13,799
Speaker 1: And um, and then when we got him, and it

998
00:51:13,920 --> 00:51:16,600
Speaker 1: was just after a few days. It was like, you know,

999
00:51:17,000 --> 00:51:24,280
Speaker 1: holy Ship one of life. And I followed Vic Fangiol

1000
00:51:24,440 --> 00:51:27,440
Speaker 1: very closely for the last eight or nine years. He

1001
00:51:27,520 --> 00:51:31,880
Speaker 1: doesn't give praise to anybody, and that tells you everything

1002
00:51:32,000 --> 00:51:34,359
Speaker 1: you need to know. This is a I don't think

1003
00:51:34,360 --> 00:51:36,759
Speaker 1: Fangio's teams very good. I mean, at the end of

1004
00:51:36,760 --> 00:51:38,600
Speaker 1: the day, they got a couple of good pass rushers

1005
00:51:38,680 --> 00:51:40,840
Speaker 1: and Chris Harris, but their defense. Look at the personnel,

1006
00:51:40,840 --> 00:51:44,640
Speaker 1: it's not great. Their offense stinks. This is a big

1007
00:51:44,640 --> 00:51:46,680
Speaker 1: game from Mr Biscuite. You gotta go into Denver. You

1008
00:51:46,760 --> 00:51:49,319
Speaker 1: gotta win this game, and Khalil Mack has to play better.

1009
00:51:49,600 --> 00:51:52,440
Speaker 1: I wouldn't say it was invisible, you know, last Thursday

1010
00:51:52,480 --> 00:51:54,239
Speaker 1: against Green Bay, but it was not his best game.

1011
00:51:54,640 --> 00:51:57,200
Speaker 1: That defense is really good. I don't see how Denver scores.

1012
00:51:57,960 --> 00:52:02,040
Speaker 1: I like Chicago, probably seventeen to seven or something like that.

1013
00:52:02,360 --> 00:52:04,480
Speaker 1: So I I like the Bears. The Bears are actually

1014
00:52:04,480 --> 00:52:06,640
Speaker 1: favored on the road. That tells you how much Vegas

1015
00:52:06,680 --> 00:52:09,799
Speaker 1: thinks of of Denver. I mean, Denver might just be

1016
00:52:09,880 --> 00:52:12,839
Speaker 1: a team draft in the top five or six this year. Well,

1017
00:52:12,840 --> 00:52:14,319
Speaker 1: here's gonna be the key. They're gonna need to get

1018
00:52:14,400 --> 00:52:17,120
Speaker 1: Drew Lock on the field and get some looks at him.

1019
00:52:17,320 --> 00:52:21,240
Speaker 1: Eagles out of Atlanta. One thing, as we know tonight,

1020
00:52:21,360 --> 00:52:24,240
Speaker 1: the NFC South beside the Saints is not very good.

1021
00:52:24,800 --> 00:52:27,759
Speaker 1: And this Atlanta, who got the crap kicked out of

1022
00:52:27,800 --> 00:52:30,799
Speaker 1: the week one at Minnesota, needs a bounce back win. Well,

1023
00:52:30,840 --> 00:52:32,839
Speaker 1: if you need to bounce back win, playing Carson Wentz

1024
00:52:32,840 --> 00:52:35,080
Speaker 1: and the Eagles is not an ideal team. It is

1025
00:52:35,120 --> 00:52:38,839
Speaker 1: Sunday night, it is in Atlanta. But man, I just

1026
00:52:39,560 --> 00:52:42,000
Speaker 1: I think Dan Quinn is one of those coaches that

1027
00:52:42,040 --> 00:52:45,200
Speaker 1: they replaced all three coordinators. I gave the stat on

1028
00:52:45,200 --> 00:52:47,040
Speaker 1: this podcast a while back. It was like the first

1029
00:52:47,040 --> 00:52:50,359
Speaker 1: time it's happened in the NFL since nine. If you're

1030
00:52:50,360 --> 00:52:52,800
Speaker 1: gonna replace all three coordinators, it's one thing to lose

1031
00:52:52,840 --> 00:52:55,279
Speaker 1: opening weekend on the road, I get it, but to

1032
00:52:55,320 --> 00:52:58,120
Speaker 1: get thoroughly dominated. I had a button the league that

1033
00:52:58,280 --> 00:53:01,160
Speaker 1: was watching the tape and text me on like Monday

1034
00:53:01,239 --> 00:53:03,000
Speaker 1: or Tuesday this week and said it was the worst

1035
00:53:03,080 --> 00:53:05,440
Speaker 1: run fits he'd ever seen. I mean, Dalvin Cook was

1036
00:53:05,520 --> 00:53:07,680
Speaker 1: running through these holes like it was parted like the

1037
00:53:07,680 --> 00:53:12,640
Speaker 1: Red Sea. Uh. You can never discount a team coming

1038
00:53:12,640 --> 00:53:15,120
Speaker 1: back after a bad loss playing at home playing with

1039
00:53:15,160 --> 00:53:17,640
Speaker 1: some pride? Is there a chance of the Falcons? And

1040
00:53:17,680 --> 00:53:20,080
Speaker 1: I thought they were good, It's just aren't good. I

1041
00:53:20,480 --> 00:53:22,560
Speaker 1: kind of like Philly to kick their ass. I mean

1042
00:53:22,800 --> 00:53:25,160
Speaker 1: just kind of just just destroy them. And if they

1043
00:53:25,160 --> 00:53:28,960
Speaker 1: do that, the the dan Quinn firing hot seat clock

1044
00:53:29,360 --> 00:53:33,640
Speaker 1: is on like Donkey Kong. Okay, let's get into the

1045
00:53:33,640 --> 00:53:36,919
Speaker 1: Middlecoff mail back do it every week Instagram at John

1046
00:53:36,920 --> 00:53:40,920
Speaker 1: middlecoff d ms wide open firing them and ask me

1047
00:53:40,960 --> 00:53:44,440
Speaker 1: whatever you want. It's just a bunch of dudes asking

1048
00:53:44,440 --> 00:53:48,279
Speaker 1: me football questions. Hey, John, big fan of you and

1049
00:53:48,320 --> 00:53:50,600
Speaker 1: the podcast. Appreciate it. What are your thoughts in the

1050
00:53:50,600 --> 00:53:56,000
Speaker 1: produced boiler Maker's quarterback Elijah Sindelar he has ninety two

1051
00:53:56,080 --> 00:53:59,799
Speaker 1: yards and nine touchdowns combined. Wide receiver Rondale Moore has

1052
00:53:59,840 --> 00:54:02,320
Speaker 1: three owned forty four yards. I think you guys text

1053
00:54:02,400 --> 00:54:05,960
Speaker 1: me or someone asked about him, like while back Heisman contender,

1054
00:54:06,320 --> 00:54:07,960
Speaker 1: do you think they should be a contender for the

1055
00:54:08,000 --> 00:54:11,879
Speaker 1: Big Ten Championship? I would say no. I actually think

1056
00:54:11,880 --> 00:54:14,400
Speaker 1: the Big Ten is pretty good. I mean, Ohio State's

1057
00:54:14,440 --> 00:54:18,359
Speaker 1: clearly loaded, Penn State's pretty damn good. Michigan State has

1058
00:54:18,400 --> 00:54:22,560
Speaker 1: this defense that is just incredible. They're playing the Arizona

1059
00:54:22,560 --> 00:54:25,200
Speaker 1: State this weekend in Sparta. They're they're probably gonna kick

1060
00:54:25,200 --> 00:54:29,440
Speaker 1: their ass. Wisconsin solid, you know. I know Michigan got

1061
00:54:29,440 --> 00:54:32,680
Speaker 1: off had a terrible game last week against Army, but

1062
00:54:32,840 --> 00:54:34,279
Speaker 1: you know, we might just chalk that up it's a

1063
00:54:34,280 --> 00:54:36,360
Speaker 1: weird gamer's Army. I think Michigan at the end of

1064
00:54:36,400 --> 00:54:39,160
Speaker 1: the day might still be a little flawed, but they're

1065
00:54:39,200 --> 00:54:42,880
Speaker 1: they're better than Purdue. Uh. You know, if perdue to

1066
00:54:43,000 --> 00:54:45,239
Speaker 1: me wins eight nine games, that that's a hell of

1067
00:54:45,239 --> 00:54:47,759
Speaker 1: a season, but it can be for the Big Ten championship.

1068
00:54:48,080 --> 00:54:50,040
Speaker 1: And again, I'm not pretending to have watched I haven't

1069
00:54:50,080 --> 00:54:53,440
Speaker 1: watched either Purdue game. I just know how good the

1070
00:54:53,480 --> 00:54:57,399
Speaker 1: conferences and watched the conference. Like the main teams, they're

1071
00:54:57,440 --> 00:54:59,720
Speaker 1: just not as good as them now. Their coaches highly

1072
00:54:59,719 --> 00:55:01,960
Speaker 1: thought of. You know, he's a People in the media

1073
00:55:02,040 --> 00:55:04,040
Speaker 1: like him. I think people in the NFL like him.

1074
00:55:04,080 --> 00:55:07,040
Speaker 1: He's well respected. I just don't know if they have

1075
00:55:07,160 --> 00:55:10,800
Speaker 1: the talent to be honestly, So, with the whole Jimmy

1076
00:55:10,840 --> 00:55:13,960
Speaker 1: thing going on, what are your thoughts do you think

1077
00:55:13,960 --> 00:55:17,000
Speaker 1: he's just struggling due to lack of full game speed experience,

1078
00:55:17,320 --> 00:55:21,239
Speaker 1: experience since the injury. I think the biggest problem with

1079
00:55:21,280 --> 00:55:24,920
Speaker 1: Jimmy Garoppolo right now is that he's like a kicker

1080
00:55:25,040 --> 00:55:28,560
Speaker 1: or a golfer. It's all in his head. Because physically

1081
00:55:28,640 --> 00:55:31,400
Speaker 1: he looks right. His arm strength is good. He's not

1082
00:55:31,600 --> 00:55:34,359
Speaker 1: scared or jittery in the pocket, and he doesn't look

1083
00:55:34,400 --> 00:55:37,480
Speaker 1: hesitant when he's transferring his weight on his body. I

1084
00:55:37,560 --> 00:55:39,360
Speaker 1: see the ball coming out of his hands and he

1085
00:55:39,400 --> 00:55:42,760
Speaker 1: has no clue where it's going. Well, if you watched

1086
00:55:42,800 --> 00:55:44,560
Speaker 1: him when he first got to the forty niners or

1087
00:55:44,560 --> 00:55:47,520
Speaker 1: when he played for the Patriots, he was really accurate.

1088
00:55:48,200 --> 00:55:50,120
Speaker 1: You know, I'm not calling him Steve younger Drew Brees,

1089
00:55:50,280 --> 00:55:53,000
Speaker 1: but he was an accurate quarterback right now. In that

1090
00:55:53,000 --> 00:55:55,840
Speaker 1: game against Tampa Bay, when Jimmy released the ball, he

1091
00:55:55,880 --> 00:55:57,440
Speaker 1: had no clue where it was going. On the majority

1092
00:55:57,440 --> 00:56:00,439
Speaker 1: of time besides like one pass, the ball were going

1093
00:56:00,520 --> 00:56:02,440
Speaker 1: behind guys above guy. It looks like kind of like

1094
00:56:02,520 --> 00:56:06,799
Speaker 1: Cam Newton, So I think he's really just pressing. I

1095
00:56:06,840 --> 00:56:11,560
Speaker 1: think Kyle Shanahan, who you know, for being a younger guy,

1096
00:56:12,160 --> 00:56:14,200
Speaker 1: like a lot of the coaches, the younger coaches in

1097
00:56:14,200 --> 00:56:16,960
Speaker 1: the NFL, like mcvagh and Naggi are probably the two

1098
00:56:17,040 --> 00:56:19,239
Speaker 1: younger coaches. At least they are successful. We'll see about

1099
00:56:19,280 --> 00:56:21,120
Speaker 1: La Flour and some of these other guys. They are

1100
00:56:21,120 --> 00:56:24,239
Speaker 1: not assholes like they're They're just pretty nice guys. I

1101
00:56:24,280 --> 00:56:27,080
Speaker 1: think Kyle can be pretty hard to play for. I

1102
00:56:27,120 --> 00:56:29,879
Speaker 1: don't think I know, you know, I know some people

1103
00:56:29,920 --> 00:56:32,719
Speaker 1: that know some people. I know he's tough, and I

1104
00:56:32,719 --> 00:56:35,400
Speaker 1: think it's not. And obviously Jimmy's coming from New England,

1105
00:56:35,400 --> 00:56:38,680
Speaker 1: He's not afraid of tough coaching. But I think when

1106
00:56:38,680 --> 00:56:42,000
Speaker 1: you when you screw up Kyle's offense, he kind of

1107
00:56:42,040 --> 00:56:44,640
Speaker 1: comes down on you with like some fury. You know,

1108
00:56:44,760 --> 00:56:47,960
Speaker 1: like if you have a mom or dad who like

1109
00:56:48,040 --> 00:56:50,719
Speaker 1: has high standards and you kind of disappoint them and

1110
00:56:50,760 --> 00:56:53,000
Speaker 1: they kind of come at you when you're young. That's

1111
00:56:53,000 --> 00:56:54,520
Speaker 1: how I kind of feel like with Kyle. He just

1112
00:56:54,600 --> 00:56:57,080
Speaker 1: happens to be a young guy too. But I think

1113
00:56:57,080 --> 00:57:00,719
Speaker 1: he's on Jimmy's ass right now and it's and it's

1114
00:57:00,840 --> 00:57:03,759
Speaker 1: creating Jimmy to press. That's why they spent this week

1115
00:57:03,800 --> 00:57:07,479
Speaker 1: in Ohio. They're about to play the Bengals. I hope,

1116
00:57:07,520 --> 00:57:11,399
Speaker 1: like on Monday or Tuesday night, just those two just

1117
00:57:11,680 --> 00:57:13,400
Speaker 1: went out and grabbed a couple of beers and I

1118
00:57:13,440 --> 00:57:15,960
Speaker 1: could talk it out or something, because I think they

1119
00:57:16,000 --> 00:57:18,880
Speaker 1: have a weird They're in a weird part of their relationship,

1120
00:57:19,480 --> 00:57:21,840
Speaker 1: Like something's just off, and I think part of it

1121
00:57:21,880 --> 00:57:26,000
Speaker 1: is I think Kyle is second guessing Jimmy, and I

1122
00:57:26,040 --> 00:57:30,600
Speaker 1: think Jimmy knows that, and it's like trying extra hard

1123
00:57:30,600 --> 00:57:33,200
Speaker 1: to impress them and it's just not working at all,

1124
00:57:33,880 --> 00:57:35,680
Speaker 1: which is crazy to say. I mean, if you've listen

1125
00:57:35,680 --> 00:57:37,440
Speaker 1: to me for a while, you know I I I

1126
00:57:37,440 --> 00:57:41,600
Speaker 1: think highly of Jimmy Garoppolo. But man, they got some

1127
00:57:41,640 --> 00:57:47,439
Speaker 1: misues right now. Okay, with the advent of analytics, why

1128
00:57:47,440 --> 00:57:50,520
Speaker 1: are all interceptions still counted the same? Shouldn't there be

1129
00:57:50,560 --> 00:57:52,920
Speaker 1: a way for people to distinguish between a poor decision

1130
00:57:52,960 --> 00:57:55,920
Speaker 1: made by a quarterback and when an incredible play the

1131
00:57:55,920 --> 00:57:58,800
Speaker 1: defense happens, for example, or receival bobbles the ball in

1132
00:57:58,800 --> 00:58:01,720
Speaker 1: a corner snacks off the turf. Do scouts keep this

1133
00:58:01,800 --> 00:58:04,760
Speaker 1: in mind when scouting players? I think PFF does a

1134
00:58:04,760 --> 00:58:06,680
Speaker 1: good job of this now, and I think teams look

1135
00:58:06,720 --> 00:58:11,240
Speaker 1: at it interceptible balls thrown by quarterbacks uh picks that

1136
00:58:11,320 --> 00:58:13,880
Speaker 1: shouldn't be their faults. So yeah, I think more and

1137
00:58:13,920 --> 00:58:17,640
Speaker 1: more now and when you evaluate a quarterback, either as

1138
00:58:17,640 --> 00:58:20,840
Speaker 1: a college prospect or to sign him in the NFL,

1139
00:58:21,040 --> 00:58:24,240
Speaker 1: you chart their throws, so you have a good idea

1140
00:58:24,280 --> 00:58:26,600
Speaker 1: of how accurate a guy is and how inaccurate a

1141
00:58:26,640 --> 00:58:28,960
Speaker 1: guy is. Like if you're if you're just drafting guy

1142
00:58:29,000 --> 00:58:31,720
Speaker 1: in college, you're not just going off like his box

1143
00:58:31,720 --> 00:58:35,400
Speaker 1: s court well, coach, you know he's completion percentage, but

1144
00:58:35,440 --> 00:58:38,360
Speaker 1: he threw like fifty would have been picked. You. You

1145
00:58:38,440 --> 00:58:42,840
Speaker 1: know that, so I I definitely think that it's being

1146
00:58:42,880 --> 00:58:46,480
Speaker 1: accounted for. You had one more question, why having more

1147
00:58:46,480 --> 00:58:49,520
Speaker 1: special teams units taken it as many delay of games

1148
00:58:49,560 --> 00:58:51,320
Speaker 1: possible to give a pun or a chance for a

1149
00:58:51,360 --> 00:58:54,160
Speaker 1: coffin corner punt. If you're gonna punt while at the

1150
00:58:54,240 --> 00:58:57,040
Speaker 1: posing forty five, why not go back five or ten

1151
00:58:57,120 --> 00:59:00,480
Speaker 1: and avoid the touchback. I think a lot times the

1152
00:59:01,560 --> 00:59:04,160
Speaker 1: punter is just confident that he can pin them, so

1153
00:59:04,200 --> 00:59:06,520
Speaker 1: he just tells the coats and maybe they practice it

1154
00:59:06,680 --> 00:59:09,960
Speaker 1: like in practice, they just feel confident kicking it right.

1155
00:59:10,000 --> 00:59:12,680
Speaker 1: If the balls being snapped at the forty five and what,

1156
00:59:12,800 --> 00:59:14,960
Speaker 1: he's fifteen yards behind him, so he's catching it at

1157
00:59:15,000 --> 00:59:20,240
Speaker 1: his own. He just feels confident they can get it now.

1158
00:59:20,280 --> 00:59:22,880
Speaker 1: I think a lot of times it's like, you know,

1159
00:59:23,040 --> 00:59:25,000
Speaker 1: if any of you guys golf, you know, when you

1160
00:59:25,120 --> 00:59:27,560
Speaker 1: tee off and people are watching you, or even when

1161
00:59:27,560 --> 00:59:30,200
Speaker 1: you go from the range to the course, your adrenaline

1162
00:59:30,280 --> 00:59:32,240
Speaker 1: kind of takes over. So it's one thing to be

1163
00:59:32,280 --> 00:59:35,000
Speaker 1: in practice when you're kind of in a relaxed environment.

1164
00:59:35,080 --> 00:59:36,600
Speaker 1: I think it's another thing to be in the game

1165
00:59:36,640 --> 00:59:38,840
Speaker 1: when you're kind of when you're kind of feeling the

1166
00:59:38,880 --> 00:59:41,760
Speaker 1: pressure in your the your heart rates up. I think

1167
00:59:41,800 --> 00:59:45,360
Speaker 1: that plays a big part of it. Do you believe

1168
00:59:45,360 --> 00:59:48,600
Speaker 1: the Eagles mishandled Jordan howard contribution against the Redskins? He

1169
00:59:48,600 --> 00:59:50,840
Speaker 1: did average seven point three, and the eye test tells

1170
00:59:50,840 --> 00:59:53,320
Speaker 1: me he deserves more carries. I think they tried to

1171
00:59:53,320 --> 00:59:55,600
Speaker 1: force the ball to Sprowls earlier in the game, which

1172
00:59:55,960 --> 00:59:58,800
Speaker 1: I get they love Sprowls, But at this point in time,

1173
00:59:59,000 --> 01:00:00,959
Speaker 1: I'm with you. I would the ball more to Jordan

1174
01:00:01,040 --> 01:00:03,680
Speaker 1: Howard and I would expect to see him a lot

1175
01:00:03,760 --> 01:00:07,080
Speaker 1: more Sunday Night against the Falcons, especially with how much

1176
01:00:07,160 --> 01:00:12,360
Speaker 1: Dalvin Cook and that offense just destroyed them. Just started

1177
01:00:12,360 --> 01:00:14,960
Speaker 1: listening to pod enjoy the show appreciate it. En Lions

1178
01:00:15,000 --> 01:00:18,200
Speaker 1: fan obviously frustrated after Sunday, the NFC North is tough.

1179
01:00:18,440 --> 01:00:19,880
Speaker 1: Do you think they have a chance at winning the

1180
01:00:19,880 --> 01:00:24,680
Speaker 1: wild card? Uh? Well, Stafford, Like I said, Stafford did

1181
01:00:24,680 --> 01:00:26,520
Speaker 1: play a lot better and I do think they'll win

1182
01:00:26,600 --> 01:00:28,960
Speaker 1: this week. But if they're gonna win a wild card

1183
01:00:29,280 --> 01:00:33,320
Speaker 1: under no circumstances, can they start oh one and one?

1184
01:00:33,840 --> 01:00:38,040
Speaker 1: You know, when your two games were against the Cardinals,

1185
01:00:38,080 --> 01:00:39,880
Speaker 1: who are probably one of the worst teams in the league,

1186
01:00:40,320 --> 01:00:42,480
Speaker 1: and then getting the Chargers, who have a bunch of

1187
01:00:42,520 --> 01:00:45,560
Speaker 1: injuries at home, Like, you gotta win one of those games.

1188
01:00:45,600 --> 01:00:47,400
Speaker 1: You gotta be one oh and one to have a chance.

1189
01:00:47,920 --> 01:00:50,120
Speaker 1: So if they lose this weekend of the Chargers, I'll

1190
01:00:50,160 --> 01:00:54,240
Speaker 1: say kiss the wild card goodbye. How come teams don't

1191
01:00:54,280 --> 01:00:56,280
Speaker 1: take the starter out earlier in the game, like when

1192
01:00:56,320 --> 01:00:58,120
Speaker 1: the Cowboys were up big against the Giants in the

1193
01:00:58,120 --> 01:01:00,280
Speaker 1: fourth quarter. I hate to see some big superstar get

1194
01:01:00,360 --> 01:01:03,840
Speaker 1: hurt and the blow out in the fourth quarter. Yeah,

1195
01:01:03,840 --> 01:01:06,520
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, look at the Pats game. Did

1196
01:01:06,520 --> 01:01:08,200
Speaker 1: Brady come out of that game? I mean I stopped

1197
01:01:08,200 --> 01:01:10,240
Speaker 1: paying attention with like five or six minutes left against

1198
01:01:10,240 --> 01:01:13,880
Speaker 1: the Steelers. But the reality is in the NFL and

1199
01:01:13,960 --> 01:01:16,760
Speaker 1: my my partner, Guy Habrman, does college games on my

1200
01:01:16,800 --> 01:01:19,640
Speaker 1: other podcast, and he was texting me, like he has

1201
01:01:19,680 --> 01:01:22,400
Speaker 1: the Colorado Air Force game and he does, you know

1202
01:01:22,440 --> 01:01:25,439
Speaker 1: these a lot of the lot of the games during

1203
01:01:25,480 --> 01:01:27,840
Speaker 1: the month of September in the Pact twelve, he does

1204
01:01:27,880 --> 01:01:31,520
Speaker 1: like games like you know, Arizona State against sack State.

1205
01:01:32,240 --> 01:01:35,240
Speaker 1: And he's like, you just preparing for a college game.

1206
01:01:35,720 --> 01:01:38,120
Speaker 1: You have like a hundred players on both sides, especially

1207
01:01:38,120 --> 01:01:41,280
Speaker 1: in these blog games that could play. He texted me

1208
01:01:41,400 --> 01:01:43,560
Speaker 1: during the Steelers game. In the Pats game, he's like, God,

1209
01:01:43,600 --> 01:01:46,480
Speaker 1: al Michaels and collins Worth have to love this. Starters

1210
01:01:46,560 --> 01:01:48,960
Speaker 1: never come out of the game. The Patriots were up

1211
01:01:49,040 --> 01:01:52,080
Speaker 1: almost thirty points and Brady's throwing to Edelman. And the

1212
01:01:52,160 --> 01:01:55,880
Speaker 1: reality is is you only have forty six guys up

1213
01:01:55,920 --> 01:01:59,080
Speaker 1: on game day, so like you you can't really tell

1214
01:01:59,120 --> 01:02:02,000
Speaker 1: you're starting left half. Well just to not not play

1215
01:02:02,080 --> 01:02:04,240
Speaker 1: because you may just have one backup tackle when he

1216
01:02:04,320 --> 01:02:06,160
Speaker 1: might already be in the game if like your right

1217
01:02:06,200 --> 01:02:08,280
Speaker 1: tackle had gone down, you may only have two backup

1218
01:02:08,320 --> 01:02:11,680
Speaker 1: offensive alignment. You only dress five wide receivers on game day.

1219
01:02:11,680 --> 01:02:14,240
Speaker 1: You only got a couple of running backs and a

1220
01:02:14,280 --> 01:02:18,760
Speaker 1: lot of quarterbacks because during the week, it's not really

1221
01:02:18,800 --> 01:02:21,600
Speaker 1: real football because they can't tackle you. They don't want

1222
01:02:21,600 --> 01:02:23,880
Speaker 1: to come out of the game. So I just think

1223
01:02:23,920 --> 01:02:26,600
Speaker 1: that's the nature of the sport. It's not like the NBA,

1224
01:02:27,280 --> 01:02:29,200
Speaker 1: where you know, in a blowout you can just put

1225
01:02:29,240 --> 01:02:32,520
Speaker 1: in your second five. Think about your backups in football,

1226
01:02:32,920 --> 01:02:36,000
Speaker 1: your backups are like you have a third wide receiver

1227
01:02:36,120 --> 01:02:39,080
Speaker 1: or fourth wide receiver, you have two tight ends, you

1228
01:02:39,200 --> 01:02:42,120
Speaker 1: have a couple backup cornerbacks, and the reality is they

1229
01:02:42,160 --> 01:02:44,560
Speaker 1: all play when you go to nickel and dime, So

1230
01:02:44,680 --> 01:02:48,000
Speaker 1: you don't like your backups still play with the other starters.

1231
01:02:48,440 --> 01:02:51,160
Speaker 1: You do have backups with d line, but you basically

1232
01:02:51,160 --> 01:02:55,120
Speaker 1: just rotate them two separate units. So it's it's it's

1233
01:02:55,120 --> 01:02:56,760
Speaker 1: not like a picture where you just like you thank

1234
01:02:56,840 --> 01:02:58,720
Speaker 1: the picture and bringing the reliever. There aren't really that

1235
01:02:58,760 --> 01:03:01,520
Speaker 1: many relievers in football, which I think throws a lot

1236
01:03:01,600 --> 01:03:03,480
Speaker 1: of us off because we're like, why aren't they why

1237
01:03:03,520 --> 01:03:06,360
Speaker 1: don't they pull all the starters for who? As Ricky

1238
01:03:06,360 --> 01:03:11,720
Speaker 1: Waters said, for who? For what? As a lifelong Lions fans,

1239
01:03:11,760 --> 01:03:14,920
Speaker 1: shoot me, what can possibly do with his team? Is it?

1240
01:03:15,000 --> 01:03:17,120
Speaker 1: The players? Or the coaches. I think Patricia is an

1241
01:03:17,120 --> 01:03:20,800
Speaker 1: absolute mess and has no clue. I'll just say this

1242
01:03:20,840 --> 01:03:25,000
Speaker 1: about Patricia. He looks awful. I mean, he's got the crutch,

1243
01:03:25,680 --> 01:03:30,640
Speaker 1: He's short and super big and fat. He just looks unhealthy.

1244
01:03:30,840 --> 01:03:32,960
Speaker 1: Looks like he's about to have a heart attack. You know.

1245
01:03:33,080 --> 01:03:35,480
Speaker 1: I know everyone says he was a rocket scientist, but man,

1246
01:03:35,600 --> 01:03:38,560
Speaker 1: I don't see some brilliant mind. He clearly knows nothing

1247
01:03:38,600 --> 01:03:42,760
Speaker 1: about offense. I'm not seeing it. I'm just I'm just

1248
01:03:42,800 --> 01:03:45,840
Speaker 1: not seeing it. I think the Lions are just they

1249
01:03:45,880 --> 01:03:48,080
Speaker 1: need some new ownership, you know, they just need to

1250
01:03:48,240 --> 01:03:50,920
Speaker 1: They just need to hit the reset button on the franchise.

1251
01:03:51,920 --> 01:03:53,880
Speaker 1: I've been a fan of the Cowboys since the eighties.

1252
01:03:54,480 --> 01:03:56,760
Speaker 1: This last week was great week for us. You think

1253
01:03:56,760 --> 01:03:58,720
Speaker 1: New York secondary is just bad, or you think the

1254
01:03:58,720 --> 01:04:01,680
Speaker 1: addition of Cobb and having Cooper for an offseason really

1255
01:04:01,720 --> 01:04:04,560
Speaker 1: just make Dak look a lot better on offense. Realistically,

1256
01:04:04,560 --> 01:04:06,360
Speaker 1: how far do you think they can make it with

1257
01:04:06,400 --> 01:04:09,520
Speaker 1: a healthy team in December. I think it's a combination

1258
01:04:09,520 --> 01:04:12,320
Speaker 1: about I think the Giant secondary, just the Giants defense

1259
01:04:12,440 --> 01:04:15,280
Speaker 1: in general is awful. But I do think the Cowboys,

1260
01:04:15,520 --> 01:04:18,960
Speaker 1: who this unit has been together Zeke the offensive line

1261
01:04:19,240 --> 01:04:21,760
Speaker 1: even went and I was back. We saw last year

1262
01:04:21,760 --> 01:04:24,040
Speaker 1: of Mari with him has been really good against really

1263
01:04:24,040 --> 01:04:26,560
Speaker 1: good teams, like we've seen it. So they beat the

1264
01:04:26,560 --> 01:04:28,520
Speaker 1: crap out of a bad team, but we've seen those

1265
01:04:28,560 --> 01:04:31,160
Speaker 1: same guys beat good teams. We've seen Randall Cobb play

1266
01:04:31,160 --> 01:04:33,960
Speaker 1: an enormous games, and Randall cale but looked awesome. Like

1267
01:04:34,000 --> 01:04:36,720
Speaker 1: I said on the last podcast, the biggest curveball with

1268
01:04:36,760 --> 01:04:40,240
Speaker 1: the Cowboys is they have an innovative mind. I watched

1269
01:04:40,320 --> 01:04:43,080
Speaker 1: Kellen Moore's press conference today. He's thirty one years old,

1270
01:04:43,400 --> 01:04:46,000
Speaker 1: but like he said, he's been He's been drawn up

1271
01:04:46,000 --> 01:04:47,640
Speaker 1: place since he was in high school. I mean he

1272
01:04:47,720 --> 01:04:49,520
Speaker 1: kind of admitted that, and he was not trying to

1273
01:04:49,560 --> 01:04:52,520
Speaker 1: be like, you know, big ego talk himself up. They

1274
01:04:52,600 --> 01:04:55,400
Speaker 1: just were peppering him with questions because DeMarcus Lawrence said

1275
01:04:55,960 --> 01:04:58,280
Speaker 1: when he got to Boise State he had heard stories

1276
01:04:58,320 --> 01:05:01,440
Speaker 1: about how Kelly and Moore had been drawn place since

1277
01:05:01,480 --> 01:05:03,320
Speaker 1: he was nine years old, and Kellen Moore was like, yeah,

1278
01:05:03,360 --> 01:05:06,360
Speaker 1: it's kind of bs, but I have been drawn place

1279
01:05:06,400 --> 01:05:07,840
Speaker 1: for a long time because I never thought I was

1280
01:05:07,840 --> 01:05:10,600
Speaker 1: gonna play long. Turns out he did play longer than

1281
01:05:10,600 --> 01:05:12,280
Speaker 1: most people thought, because he played in the NFL for

1282
01:05:12,280 --> 01:05:14,360
Speaker 1: a couple of years and it wasn't because of talent,

1283
01:05:14,400 --> 01:05:16,480
Speaker 1: it was because of his brains. And I took a

1284
01:05:16,480 --> 01:05:19,840
Speaker 1: step back and I thought to myself, the best player

1285
01:05:19,840 --> 01:05:22,240
Speaker 1: in the history of Boise State, which is arguably the

1286
01:05:22,960 --> 01:05:26,840
Speaker 1: best Nonpower five program in the history of college football.

1287
01:05:27,200 --> 01:05:29,760
Speaker 1: I mean, they are a powerhouse. Still, they're awesome. He's

1288
01:05:29,800 --> 01:05:32,640
Speaker 1: the best player in the history of the program. And

1289
01:05:33,360 --> 01:05:36,360
Speaker 1: he's now the offensive coordinator for the Dallas Cowboys and

1290
01:05:36,400 --> 01:05:38,520
Speaker 1: he looks like, I mean, he's the next Sean mcvett.

1291
01:05:38,880 --> 01:05:41,200
Speaker 1: To me, the question is is Kellen Moore the next

1292
01:05:41,240 --> 01:05:44,240
Speaker 1: head coach of the Dallas Cowboys? To me, that's the question.

1293
01:05:44,760 --> 01:05:47,440
Speaker 1: So overall, to answer your question, sorry to kind of

1294
01:05:47,520 --> 01:05:50,160
Speaker 1: run around here. I think if they can stay healthy,

1295
01:05:50,200 --> 01:05:54,400
Speaker 1: they're a legitimate Super Bowl contender because Kellen Moore and

1296
01:05:54,440 --> 01:05:57,000
Speaker 1: the talent they have on offense is going to translate.

1297
01:05:57,960 --> 01:06:00,160
Speaker 1: Do you think Freddy Kitchen should turn over the playing

1298
01:06:00,200 --> 01:06:02,720
Speaker 1: to Monken He spent all games seeming like he was

1299
01:06:02,800 --> 01:06:05,680
Speaker 1: just winging it with play calls. Is there cause for

1300
01:06:05,720 --> 01:06:11,400
Speaker 1: concern for Baker Mayfield? You know, that's a good question.

1301
01:06:11,520 --> 01:06:13,080
Speaker 1: I think that he would if he was three or

1302
01:06:13,120 --> 01:06:15,040
Speaker 1: four games in and it was a disaster. But then

1303
01:06:15,080 --> 01:06:16,560
Speaker 1: that would be a problem, like why did you hire

1304
01:06:16,560 --> 01:06:18,400
Speaker 1: Freddy Kitchens if he's not gonna be the play caller?

1305
01:06:18,600 --> 01:06:21,919
Speaker 1: Because you hired Freddy Kitchens because he was some offensive mind.

1306
01:06:21,920 --> 01:06:25,480
Speaker 1: He's not like Mr. Rally, the troops leader guy. That's

1307
01:06:25,520 --> 01:06:28,760
Speaker 1: why why did you even hire Freddy Kitchens. But I

1308
01:06:28,840 --> 01:06:30,760
Speaker 1: think the one thing I noticed with Baker in the

1309
01:06:30,800 --> 01:06:33,640
Speaker 1: second half is he was just late on some throws. Now,

1310
01:06:34,200 --> 01:06:36,760
Speaker 1: it kind of snowballed. Once Derrick Henry scored on the

1311
01:06:36,960 --> 01:06:39,840
Speaker 1: on the screen pass after they had just scored a touchdown,

1312
01:06:39,840 --> 01:06:41,720
Speaker 1: which actually was a nice drive. In the second half,

1313
01:06:41,960 --> 01:06:44,840
Speaker 1: Baker let him right down the field, had a nice

1314
01:06:44,880 --> 01:06:47,520
Speaker 1: touchdown pass to the tight end. It just thought he

1315
01:06:47,560 --> 01:06:50,120
Speaker 1: was laid on passes and balls were airmailing. But also

1316
01:06:50,200 --> 01:06:52,400
Speaker 1: Tennessee they knew they had to pass. They were playing

1317
01:06:52,440 --> 01:06:55,640
Speaker 1: some soft zone coverages. He's had a bad game. I mean,

1318
01:06:55,720 --> 01:06:58,120
Speaker 1: he just not. He had a terrible game. It happens.

1319
01:06:58,240 --> 01:07:00,280
Speaker 1: You know, he's young. He hasn't even played sixteen career

1320
01:07:00,280 --> 01:07:03,520
Speaker 1: games in his career. I'm a Baker Mayfield fan, but

1321
01:07:03,640 --> 01:07:05,960
Speaker 1: that has to be, I don't know, one of the

1322
01:07:06,000 --> 01:07:10,640
Speaker 1: worst games of his career. Appreciate everyone listening, enjoy the weekend,

1323
01:07:11,640 --> 01:07:14,840
Speaker 1: and uh got football is the best, man, not Thursday

1324
01:07:14,920 --> 01:07:18,040
Speaker 1: night football is not the best. But Thursday night football.

1325
01:07:18,320 --> 01:07:20,800
Speaker 1: It's kind of like pizza, where even if you get

1326
01:07:20,840 --> 01:07:23,960
Speaker 1: bad pizza, it's still pizza, so it's not that terrible. Now,

1327
01:07:24,000 --> 01:07:26,800
Speaker 1: you'd rather have really good pizza, would be like Patriots,

1328
01:07:26,880 --> 01:07:29,680
Speaker 1: Chiefs or something. But you can give me, you know,

1329
01:07:29,760 --> 01:07:32,640
Speaker 1: Carolina Panthers, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and I'm not gonna complain.

1330
01:07:33,040 --> 01:07:35,560
Speaker 1: I mean, even though I might complain like the game sucks,

1331
01:07:35,560 --> 01:07:38,120
Speaker 1: but I'm still gonna watch it. So at least we

1332
01:07:38,120 --> 01:07:40,720
Speaker 1: got football back in our life. And I'm really excited

1333
01:07:40,760 --> 01:07:43,040
Speaker 1: for a week two and I started to watch Chip

1334
01:07:43,080 --> 01:08:01,840
Speaker 1: Kelly get his butt kicks. Audios, godspeed see it seven

1335
01:08:01,960 --> 01:08:02,240
