61
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:48,440
Speaker 2: too too strong of a word to describe what we witnessed.

62
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:51,600
Speaker 2: They took it to Washington. Washington had a couple drives

63
00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:54,760
Speaker 2: before the most part, the Bears played their best game

64
00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:57,840
Speaker 2: in a long, long time. They played a good half

65
00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:01,840
Speaker 2: last week. This was a really really good game and

66
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:04,000
Speaker 2: they needed it. And I want to start by this

67
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:08,960
Speaker 2: because through two weeks, justin fields wasn't bad. I mean,

68
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:12,160
Speaker 2: it was an utter train wreck. He looked. It wasn't

69
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:16,080
Speaker 2: even he didn't. There was no subjective conversation. It was

70
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:19,560
Speaker 2: not arguable. He was playing the position at a really

71
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:24,520
Speaker 2: really low level production wise. I test the coaching staff.

72
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:26,880
Speaker 2: No one was on the same page. It was not

73
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:31,120
Speaker 2: going to work. Now. I liked him coming out a lot. Why.

74
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:35,400
Speaker 2: He has a ton of physical tools, big, strong arm,

75
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:39,000
Speaker 2: big can really run. But playing quarterback, as we know,

76
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:41,680
Speaker 2: is a very nuanced position and it had not been

77
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:45,000
Speaker 2: going well well the last two weeks. He has eight touchdowns.

78
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:50,080
Speaker 2: So I give I respect anyone in any walk of life.

79
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:53,599
Speaker 2: Times get tough. I don't give a shit who you are.

80
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:57,599
Speaker 2: Nothing is easy all the time. In an industry is

81
00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:02,640
Speaker 2: like Wall Street or the NF it's you're going to

82
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:06,640
Speaker 2: fail and failing. Like, listen, it happens to all of us,

83
00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:09,440
Speaker 2: and you have to be mentally tough and to play

84
00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:12,440
Speaker 2: quarterback at the highest level in the NFL just to

85
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:15,920
Speaker 2: sustain being a starter. I'm not talking to become Mahomes

86
00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:19,279
Speaker 2: or to become Josh Allen just to last. Just to

87
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:23,000
Speaker 2: keep a starting spot, you gotta be mentally tough, and

88
00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:26,000
Speaker 2: especially as a younger player to go through what he

89
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:30,040
Speaker 2: was going through. Nationally, everyone shitting on you as a player,

90
00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:33,640
Speaker 2: everyone talking a lot of crap about your team. Your

91
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:36,760
Speaker 2: team just internally is in shambles. You have a wide

92
00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:40,480
Speaker 2: receiver sent home, you have a defensive coordinator resign. We

93
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:43,240
Speaker 2: still don't know the reason why you hadn't won a

94
00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:49,520
Speaker 2: game in basically eleven months, which they were trending toward.

95
00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:51,920
Speaker 2: And I was thinking about this if they were heading

96
00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:54,360
Speaker 2: into this game thinking that, listen, there's a chance that

97
00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:57,159
Speaker 2: they lose sixteen games in a row. And I was thinking,

98
00:05:57,240 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 2: if you lost sixteen games in a row, which is

99
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:02,320
Speaker 2: obviously happened, teams go Owen sixteen. I know we have

100
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:05,920
Speaker 2: seventeen games now, but the Owen sixteen teams, I think

101
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:10,039
Speaker 2: it's much more difficult to lose sixteen straight games in

102
00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:13,480
Speaker 2: two separate seasons because you get rid of some bad players,

103
00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:16,280
Speaker 2: you add some new players. You probably were not good

104
00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:18,720
Speaker 2: the previous year, so you added some draft picks, so

105
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:22,960
Speaker 2: they were trending toward. It's almost impossible. It's not impossible

106
00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:25,640
Speaker 2: to go winless on a season. It is very, very

107
00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:29,040
Speaker 2: difficult to lose the seasons worth a game separated by

108
00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:32,200
Speaker 2: two separate seasons, and Fields refused to let that happen.

109
00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:37,200
Speaker 2: He was really good, Obviously, DJ Moore was fantastic, looks

110
00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:42,599
Speaker 2: like Deebo Samuel the Night on Steroids just carried them dominated,

111
00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:48,080
Speaker 2: taking slants and hitches and comebacks to the house, breaking tackles.

112
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:52,800
Speaker 2: But I give Justin Fields a lot of credit mentally

113
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:56,840
Speaker 2: because listen, a lot of players in the NFL are tough, right. Obviously,

114
00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:59,160
Speaker 2: there are some players tougher than others. Will get into

115
00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:04,919
Speaker 2: Dick Budkis, but mental toughness, listen, I think in all

116
00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:09,400
Speaker 2: sports at the highest level, professionally really separates guys. And

117
00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:12,160
Speaker 2: I think Justin Fields has really really shown a lot

118
00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:14,640
Speaker 2: these last two weeks. Now is he gonna be the

119
00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:17,000
Speaker 2: Bear starter for the next decade? I can't go that

120
00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:19,400
Speaker 2: far is he gonna be the Bear starter in twenty

121
00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:23,760
Speaker 2: twenty four. Won't go that far either. But like he's todd,

122
00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:27,360
Speaker 2: everyone listen, I'm guilty too. Pump the fucking breaks, guys,

123
00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:30,680
Speaker 2: like this ain't quite over yet. I got a lot

124
00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:33,520
Speaker 2: of talent here. I can make plays. I can play

125
00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:37,080
Speaker 2: winning football. He played winning football last week. He obviously

126
00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:41,680
Speaker 2: played winning football tonight. But we all know the physical skills.

127
00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:45,000
Speaker 2: My mother can see that. The mental skills and the

128
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:48,960
Speaker 2: mental toughness side is something you can only learn by

129
00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:51,600
Speaker 2: going through tough times, and that's how you're evaluated by

130
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:54,520
Speaker 2: your team, your GM, your city. And I think if

131
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:57,960
Speaker 2: you're a Bears fan today, you're really prideful in the

132
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:03,400
Speaker 2: way he reacted. Because as a fan of just the sport, uh,

133
00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:06,320
Speaker 2: it's definitely cool to see. And as a fan of

134
00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:10,240
Speaker 2: the sport growing up, I never saw Dick but Kiss

135
00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:13,680
Speaker 2: play a snap, obviously well before my time. I would

136
00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:18,120
Speaker 2: imagine ninety nine point nine percent of people listening or

137
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:21,360
Speaker 2: watching this podcast fall under that category. There's a pretty

138
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:23,800
Speaker 2: good chance it's one hundred percent. But there is not

139
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:27,680
Speaker 2: anyone who grew up liking football that didn't know the

140
00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:31,160
Speaker 2: name Dick but Kiss, And I think as a football player,

141
00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:35,560
Speaker 2: especially a defensive football player, like most famous people, when

142
00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:38,400
Speaker 2: you say their name, like have a brand. Right, Like

143
00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:41,440
Speaker 2: if you say Warren Buffett, most people think like rich famous,

144
00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:44,680
Speaker 2: you know, rich successful financial guy. Right you say Steve Jobs,

145
00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:47,880
Speaker 2: you like innovator. Right you say Tom Brady, You're like winner.

146
00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:50,760
Speaker 2: When you say Dick Butkiss, I think the first thing

147
00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:56,240
Speaker 2: that comes to mind is toughness. And listen, I always

148
00:08:56,520 --> 00:09:01,920
Speaker 2: somewhat support older players being bitter at newer players, especially

149
00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:05,480
Speaker 2: if you played you know, basketball, baseball, football in like

150
00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:08,440
Speaker 2: the seventies or eighties. You're like, we laid it all

151
00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:10,840
Speaker 2: in the line. The game was way more physical. We

152
00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:13,680
Speaker 2: did not make nearly enough money. Some of those guys

153
00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:17,200
Speaker 2: had had second jobs. And see the money being made now.

154
00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:20,440
Speaker 2: You think guys are softer when you think football and

155
00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:25,040
Speaker 2: you think defensive football. Dick Budkiss. The moment you start playing,

156
00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:28,160
Speaker 2: whether it's Peewee's, whether it's high school football, whether you

157
00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:31,120
Speaker 2: play you know, through college in the NFL, that is

158
00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:35,360
Speaker 2: a name that is uttered by coaches at every level,

159
00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:39,120
Speaker 2: and it's someone Listen, I know, I've never even been

160
00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:42,360
Speaker 2: to Chicago, and I feel like I know exactly what

161
00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:45,800
Speaker 2: Dick putkis was what he stood for. You google him

162
00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:48,240
Speaker 2: when he dies, and you know, obviously all the Pro Bowls,

163
00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:52,280
Speaker 2: the Hall of Fame, the All Decade Team, multiple decades. Really,

164
00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:55,479
Speaker 2: when you think about the Bears, really the only offensive

165
00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:59,000
Speaker 2: player that's really famous on the team is Walter Payton

166
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:00,840
Speaker 2: in the history of the franchise, at least for me,

167
00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:04,400
Speaker 2: and it's just littered with superstar I guess Gail Stairs

168
00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:08,520
Speaker 2: as well, but littered with superstar defensive players. And he's

169
00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:12,000
Speaker 2: obviously the Tom Brady Joe Montana of that group for

170
00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:16,160
Speaker 2: that franchise. So rip Dick Butkiss to me. When I

171
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:21,200
Speaker 2: think linebackers in the NFL, you know, I think Ray Nichke,

172
00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:26,440
Speaker 2: Dick Butkis, Jack Lambert. I mean that is that is

173
00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:28,440
Speaker 2: the NFL. When you're a kid and you're watching some

174
00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:31,320
Speaker 2: of these grainy footages of football from the late sixties

175
00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:34,640
Speaker 2: or the early seventies, you're like, these guys were nuts

176
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:41,040
Speaker 2: blood everywhere. You know, just the game was it wasn't safe.

177
00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:44,160
Speaker 2: It wasn't safe, And a huge reason it wasn't safe

178
00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:47,920
Speaker 2: is because guys like Dick Butkiss were on the field.

179
00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:51,280
Speaker 2: I remember hearing a scouting story. I don't know if

180
00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:54,040
Speaker 2: it was on like you know, the Top one hundred

181
00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:57,760
Speaker 2: players with Belichick or Art Rooney told the story. But

182
00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:03,880
Speaker 2: they went to scout Lambert and like the field was muddy,

183
00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:06,679
Speaker 2: so they had to practice on concrete and it was

184
00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:10,080
Speaker 2: supposed to be a walkthrough and Lambert was like making

185
00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:13,920
Speaker 2: full speed tackles on gravel and it was bleeding everywhere.

186
00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:16,560
Speaker 2: And he went back to like the Rooney family, He's like,

187
00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:19,440
Speaker 2: we got to get this guy. And I just think

188
00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:23,080
Speaker 2: that's who built the NFL. Guys like that and Dick

189
00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:26,760
Speaker 2: bud Gets, you know, will always be till the league

190
00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:30,559
Speaker 2: folds one day, which doesn't seem anytime soon. One of

191
00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:33,400
Speaker 2: one of the guys that put this league, like built

192
00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:35,520
Speaker 2: the base of it. You know, if you laid the

193
00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:38,200
Speaker 2: concrete for a home. He would have been one of

194
00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:41,120
Speaker 2: like the founding fathers of this league. And where it's

195
00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:44,200
Speaker 2: at right now with all the success Amazon streaming, the

196
00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:47,960
Speaker 2: billions of dollars were because of guys like Dick Butkus

197
00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:51,040
Speaker 2: so Rip and the team that got their ass kicked tonight.

198
00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:53,360
Speaker 2: I was thinking about it watching like Ron Rivera is

199
00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:54,960
Speaker 2: not going to be the coach in twenty twenty four.

200
00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:58,680
Speaker 2: They have a brand new owner like their team's just

201
00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:00,880
Speaker 2: not good enough, though I actually think they're kind of

202
00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:04,360
Speaker 2: an intriguing job opening whenever it comes. They do have

203
00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:07,800
Speaker 2: some young, talented pieces. If you're not in position to

204
00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:10,080
Speaker 2: get a top quarterback, you got a guy that at

205
00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:13,040
Speaker 2: least you could play a season with who's cheap as

206
00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:16,640
Speaker 2: you figure things out. But I was thinking Josh Harris.

207
00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:21,400
Speaker 2: They showed him tonight in the booth and he obviously

208
00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:23,880
Speaker 2: owns the Sixers. And their last two coaches have been

209
00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:27,400
Speaker 2: Doc Rivers and now Nick Nurse, who just got fired

210
00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:30,600
Speaker 2: by the Rafters but won a championship with Kawhi Leonard

211
00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:32,800
Speaker 2: and was known as you know, one of the better

212
00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:35,880
Speaker 2: coaches before last year in all of the NBA. So

213
00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:39,520
Speaker 2: their last two coaches have been big time, bright lights guys.

214
00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:43,800
Speaker 2: And I think we talk a lot about and listen.

215
00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:46,800
Speaker 2: Just because eber Flus won the night, I by no

216
00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:50,199
Speaker 2: means think he's some locke to be the coach in

217
00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:53,520
Speaker 2: twenty twenty four. He's coaching for his job for the

218
00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:56,600
Speaker 2: next three months. Bears fans would agree like he is.

219
00:12:56,840 --> 00:12:59,480
Speaker 2: He ain't on scholarship, that's for damn sure, But there's

220
00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:03,480
Speaker 2: a lot of BA Chicago. Shouldn't Chicago try to take

221
00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:08,880
Speaker 2: a big swing? Jim Harbaugh was drafted there, played there, like,

222
00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:12,600
Speaker 2: doesn't make a lot of Midwest Big ten country. Why

223
00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:15,760
Speaker 2: wouldn't Washington be all over him? Like I just said,

224
00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:20,560
Speaker 2: this owner has gone after big names in the NBA.

225
00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:23,000
Speaker 2: How do you spend that much money on a team

226
00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:25,800
Speaker 2: and not do it in the NFL? The thing he's

227
00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:27,880
Speaker 2: just going to hire and a lot of teams do

228
00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:32,560
Speaker 2: the next offensive coordinator, the next sexy name Ben Johnson

229
00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:34,880
Speaker 2: with the Lions. I'm not saying they won't interview them

230
00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:37,880
Speaker 2: and help. Maybe they do end up hiring him, But

231
00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:41,000
Speaker 2: I see this guy sniffing around. This is a brand

232
00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:43,720
Speaker 2: that has fallen on very very hard times the last

233
00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:50,559
Speaker 2: twenty years. I mean, Dan Snyder obviously ruined everything surrounding

234
00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:53,720
Speaker 2: the team, including the actual team. It's just been a

235
00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:57,400
Speaker 2: very ugly period of time for a franchise that you know,

236
00:13:58,360 --> 00:13:59,880
Speaker 2: some of you that are a little older than me

237
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:02,640
Speaker 2: probably remember them in their heyday when they were competing

238
00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:07,400
Speaker 2: with the Niners, the eighties Bears, the eighties Giants, right

239
00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:10,280
Speaker 2: to win Super Bowls and to be one of the

240
00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:13,080
Speaker 2: best teams in the league. Well, that feels like eons ago,

241
00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:16,440
Speaker 2: and I do wonder if you're a new owner that

242
00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:20,080
Speaker 2: it's one thing. Hiring a coach in football is very,

243
00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:23,800
Speaker 2: very difficult, especially when you're hiring coordinators. For every Sean

244
00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:26,680
Speaker 2: McVay and Kyle Shanahan, there are a lot of Joe

245
00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:29,760
Speaker 2: Judges and Pat Shermers and Vance Josephs that there is

246
00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:33,200
Speaker 2: no formula. It's a lot like drafting players. You know,

247
00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:36,120
Speaker 2: you do all your due diligence, you meet with the people,

248
00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:38,600
Speaker 2: you feel good about it, but you never know, and

249
00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:40,280
Speaker 2: you never know till it's too late, and then the

250
00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:42,560
Speaker 2: guy's coaching your team and you realize he's not the guy.

251
00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:45,480
Speaker 2: The easiest way to avoid that is just go big

252
00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:48,560
Speaker 2: game hunting and to meet Jim Harball when you factor in,

253
00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:51,600
Speaker 2: Like you know, even the Urban Meyers and the Lincoln Rileyes,

254
00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:54,120
Speaker 2: those guys never coached in the NFL. We saw Urban Meyer,

255
00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:57,240
Speaker 2: not even last year. Like Lincoln Riley's Name's not gonna

256
00:14:57,240 --> 00:15:00,280
Speaker 2: go away, but the dude is allergic to defense, Like

257
00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:02,800
Speaker 2: that ain't gonna work in the NFL. Loved Mike Leach,

258
00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:06,400
Speaker 2: rip I missed Mike Leach, which he was obviously still

259
00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:09,840
Speaker 2: around coaching. He was a fun, fun character. But like

260
00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:12,440
Speaker 2: when you don't care about defense, you have no shot.

261
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:16,120
Speaker 2: Jim harbaughd not only knows NFL football as a player

262
00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:18,760
Speaker 2: and as a coach. Defense is a huge part of

263
00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:22,200
Speaker 2: the xethos, and they have some pieces in Washington. So

264
00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:27,080
Speaker 2: you watch, you know, forever it was, the Dolphins were

265
00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:30,040
Speaker 2: always getting linked to God. The Dolphins are sniffing around

266
00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:34,120
Speaker 2: Harbaugh or you know, coach x right, some big name guy.

267
00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:36,440
Speaker 2: They're always trying to Tom Brake. They're always Now it

268
00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:38,680
Speaker 2: feels like they're kind of they got McDaniel. Their team's

269
00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:41,080
Speaker 2: pretty good. They've kind of mellowed out a little bit.

270
00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:44,360
Speaker 2: I think the team that you're gonna start seeing being

271
00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:48,160
Speaker 2: circled is the Washington Commanders. Well they might not even

272
00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:50,880
Speaker 2: be their name because they might change it. But what

273
00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:54,240
Speaker 2: we saw tonight pretty lifeless effort for a large percentage

274
00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:57,160
Speaker 2: of it. Definitely, the first half was pretty embarrassing, and

275
00:15:57,240 --> 00:16:01,680
Speaker 2: overall to let fields kind of kick your ass like that,

276
00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:03,560
Speaker 2: you got to go back to the drawing board. But

277
00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:06,680
Speaker 2: you know, if you believe in the football gods, if

278
00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:10,560
Speaker 2: you just believe in things bigger than yourself, under no

279
00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:13,760
Speaker 2: circumstances where the Chicago Bears losing on the day that

280
00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:16,680
Speaker 2: Dick bud Gets passed away. Okay, let's dive into a

281
00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:18,640
Speaker 2: couple other things in the NFL before I get to

282
00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:23,040
Speaker 2: do these teams suck, because that's one thing I have circled.

283
00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:26,440
Speaker 2: We got four teams on buys, the Browns, the Chargers,

284
00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:30,240
Speaker 2: the Seahawks, and the Bucks. So this we go through

285
00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:32,640
Speaker 2: this stretch now of like five or six weeks where

286
00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:34,280
Speaker 2: some weeks you're like, Eh, there aren't really that many

287
00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:37,000
Speaker 2: games on TV. That's the one thing early on in

288
00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:41,040
Speaker 2: the NFL season, like Week one, Week two, Sunday, the

289
00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:44,040
Speaker 2: ten am slot and even the afternoon slot sometimes you're like, God,

290
00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:46,400
Speaker 2: feels like there's ten games on right now. Once the

291
00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:48,520
Speaker 2: bye weeks happen and then you spread out Monday night

292
00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:51,160
Speaker 2: and Thursday night football, you know, you might get an

293
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:53,760
Speaker 2: afternoon where there's like two games on which I listen.

294
00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:57,240
Speaker 2: I'm not complaining, but let's start with one game that

295
00:16:57,320 --> 00:17:00,560
Speaker 2: I think and listen. If you've followed me for a while,

296
00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:02,600
Speaker 2: you know my take was Mac Jones is gonna be

297
00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:05,280
Speaker 2: a major problem for Belichick. He was gonna end the

298
00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:08,400
Speaker 2: dynasty and it's sure. And I know the dynasty technically

299
00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:10,919
Speaker 2: ended when Brady left, but like end Belichick's career in

300
00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:13,000
Speaker 2: New England, that'd be another guy, Like you know, they

301
00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:15,359
Speaker 2: got a little breakup. Let's just say Belichick's not the

302
00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:18,920
Speaker 2: coach of New England in twenty twenty four. You don't

303
00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:21,640
Speaker 2: think Josh Harris Washington just hey, get the train back

304
00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:26,760
Speaker 2: on the tracks. But listen, Bill, Belichick is playing Derek Carr,

305
00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:31,200
Speaker 2: who is obviously injured, but last week dumped the ball

306
00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:34,880
Speaker 2: off at a historic fashion the Saints. I've watched them

307
00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:39,000
Speaker 2: three of their four games. Clearly they're solid, but offensively

308
00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:41,200
Speaker 2: they'd have some issues. And then the moment Derek got

309
00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:43,240
Speaker 2: hurt and clearly is not the same. And listen, he's

310
00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:47,280
Speaker 2: not the most you know, inclined guy to just bombs away.

311
00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:49,920
Speaker 2: This guy's not Patrick Mahomes in his prime. This is

312
00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:53,640
Speaker 2: a game Belichick not in a million years would lose

313
00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:57,359
Speaker 2: to a banged up Derek Carr in Dennis Allen. But

314
00:17:57,920 --> 00:18:00,840
Speaker 2: if he loses this game, like to me, they're trending

315
00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:03,160
Speaker 2: for a four or five wins season. I don't care

316
00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:04,840
Speaker 2: how good of a coach he is. I don't care

317
00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:07,919
Speaker 2: how many tricks he has up his sleeve. The Patriots

318
00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:11,480
Speaker 2: and hell, even Belichick, like Mac Jones rookie year is

319
00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:14,320
Speaker 2: winning this game and I don't have faith talk about

320
00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:17,800
Speaker 2: it with Stucky. From a gambling perspective, I listen, obviously

321
00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:20,520
Speaker 2: you should bet on Belichick, but I don't trust it.

322
00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:24,280
Speaker 2: And this is a game feels like you can't win

323
00:18:24,359 --> 00:18:26,760
Speaker 2: this thing. What are we doing? And this is why

324
00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:29,879
Speaker 2: I keep getting back to if he can't win games

325
00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:32,880
Speaker 2: like this, and they're having back to back seasons where

326
00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:35,480
Speaker 2: they don't really get close to making the playoffs last

327
00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:37,760
Speaker 2: year technically would be closer than they look like they're

328
00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:40,639
Speaker 2: headed this year. But what's the point of all this?

329
00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:44,360
Speaker 2: Just coach to just try to get the record. As

330
00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:48,160
Speaker 2: I said earlier this week, you know, Belichick hung his

331
00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:52,440
Speaker 2: hat on being a ruthless negotiator, a ruthless general manager,

332
00:18:52,760 --> 00:18:56,280
Speaker 2: having like no emotion. And that's historically what makes great

333
00:18:56,359 --> 00:18:59,600
Speaker 2: executives in sports. Right. You got to make tough decisions,

334
00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:02,600
Speaker 2: got a trade guys who have been really really good

335
00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:06,080
Speaker 2: for you, right like Bill Walsh, got rid of Joe Montana,

336
00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:07,840
Speaker 2: got rid of Ronnie a lot like got rid of

337
00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:10,280
Speaker 2: a lot of players, and kind of set the tone,

338
00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:13,119
Speaker 2: and Belichick kind of copied him. Now eventually, though it

339
00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:16,240
Speaker 2: ends Walsh kind of tapped out after eight or nine seasons.

340
00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:20,960
Speaker 2: Belichick's not tapping out. He doesn't have crazy emotional anxiety.

341
00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:23,600
Speaker 2: You know, Walsh got kind of overwhelmed. Later regretted it,

342
00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:25,840
Speaker 2: but you know, the stress really got to him. Belichick

343
00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:28,160
Speaker 2: not a stress guy, not saying he doesn't get stressed,

344
00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:31,160
Speaker 2: but like you're going to have to get rid of him.

345
00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:33,400
Speaker 2: He's not just gonna He's not just gonna say, hey,

346
00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:37,800
Speaker 2: I've had enough, like this ain't working. But it ain't

347
00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:40,320
Speaker 2: working if you can't beat the Saints in a banged

348
00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:44,400
Speaker 2: up Derek Carr. The other game that when this happened,

349
00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:49,200
Speaker 2: I think was in training camp. Everyone freaked out when

350
00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:52,560
Speaker 2: Sean Payton called out Nathaniel Hackett. In my take has

351
00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:57,199
Speaker 2: always been I appreciate anyone who's honest, Like he's just

352
00:19:57,240 --> 00:20:01,520
Speaker 2: saying what everyone else is saying. He's just doing it publicly, right,

353
00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:05,120
Speaker 2: Like why are some of the craziest quotes we ever

354
00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:12,000
Speaker 2: read in anything, politics, business articles, obviously pro sports anonymous,

355
00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:16,440
Speaker 2: but that's how everyone actually talks. Like everyone last year

356
00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:20,600
Speaker 2: was making fun of Nathaniel Hackett like this this week,

357
00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:25,920
Speaker 2: I saw this controversy with Rodney Harrison calling Zack Wilson garbage,

358
00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:29,960
Speaker 2: and everyone's like, that's crossing the line. Literally for three

359
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:33,520
Speaker 2: straight weeks, everyone sitting on their couch texting their buddies

360
00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:37,240
Speaker 2: is calling Zack Wilson garbage. Then when a guy who

361
00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:40,920
Speaker 2: was a great player, super Bowl champion, complete badass. Listen,

362
00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:43,000
Speaker 2: I'm not the biggest Rodney Harrison fan, but he can

363
00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:45,680
Speaker 2: say whatever he wants about some player calls him garbage.

364
00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:48,040
Speaker 2: Everyone's like, that's out of line. You mean the same

365
00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:51,520
Speaker 2: guy that you surely was saying that sucked, Now another

366
00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:53,560
Speaker 2: guy says it. It's like, well, it's too bad, he's

367
00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:57,680
Speaker 2: doing it publicly. Bullshit. So Sean Payton said what he believed.

368
00:20:57,920 --> 00:21:01,040
Speaker 2: Now he ran it back, but like that's what he thought,

369
00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:03,040
Speaker 2: and that's what a lot of people thought because we

370
00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:04,960
Speaker 2: all witnessed it. The dude didn't even make it through

371
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:09,399
Speaker 2: the season. But Nathaniel Hackett added, Aaron Rodgers, You're like, well, Sean,

372
00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:11,320
Speaker 2: you better be careful man. You're gonna play him. They're

373
00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:14,879
Speaker 2: gonna roll with Aaron Rodgers. That ain't the case, Sean Payton.

374
00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:16,679
Speaker 2: If you are gonna talk shit, which I have no

375
00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:19,160
Speaker 2: problem in any business. Say what you believe, just back

376
00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:21,720
Speaker 2: it up. Right. In sports is the one area where

377
00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:24,280
Speaker 2: it's like, especially if you're a player, you say something,

378
00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:26,639
Speaker 2: you gotta go against the guy. In football, unlike some

379
00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:29,160
Speaker 2: of these other sports, violent game. You talk shit about

380
00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:31,600
Speaker 2: some pitcher, he might blast you the next time he

381
00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:35,880
Speaker 2: sees you. Right, in football, you say something about someone else. One,

382
00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:38,800
Speaker 2: if you're a player, you get taken out, and two,

383
00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:40,720
Speaker 2: if you're a coach, you can kind of get rolled.

384
00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:46,480
Speaker 2: So I'm looking at Sean Payton this week. You can't

385
00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:50,560
Speaker 2: lose Zach Wilson. That can't happen. You have to win

386
00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:53,760
Speaker 2: this game. You talk shit about this guy, his coach,

387
00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:56,840
Speaker 2: and you didn't even think you were gonna see this player.

388
00:21:57,920 --> 00:22:00,639
Speaker 2: They're coming to you. You can't lose this game, like

389
00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:03,960
Speaker 2: talking about Bill Belichick. Like technically, whatever you lose, your

390
00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:07,000
Speaker 2: team might suck. Sean Payton cannot lose his gam You

391
00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:09,840
Speaker 2: cannot lose to Zach Wilson. And we'll see, like, is

392
00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:12,280
Speaker 2: Zach Wilson just the version that we saw in Sunday

393
00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:15,399
Speaker 2: Night Football? Is he just solid? Now? Did he figure

394
00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:17,320
Speaker 2: something out? Or is he the guy that we saw

395
00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:21,080
Speaker 2: against the Chiefs, those first couple drives that didn't really

396
00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:24,560
Speaker 2: have a chance. So when I look at this week,

397
00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:28,720
Speaker 2: Denver better win, and let's do a little segment call

398
00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:33,240
Speaker 2: do these guys suck? And I'm gonna start with the Giants. Obviously,

399
00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:36,040
Speaker 2: this season has been an utter disaster. It has not

400
00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:39,320
Speaker 2: gone well and they're getting made fun of constantly for

401
00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:41,960
Speaker 2: the contract that they gave Daniel Jones, and rightfully so

402
00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:44,000
Speaker 2: cause a year ago they didn't pick up the guy's

403
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:46,400
Speaker 2: fifty year option. Two years later, he's making forty plus

404
00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:49,159
Speaker 2: million dollars and their team feels like they're headed nowhere

405
00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:52,800
Speaker 2: and nowhere fast. Here's the problem. They're one in three,

406
00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:56,040
Speaker 2: they have not played well at all, and now they're

407
00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:59,720
Speaker 2: playing the Miami Dolphins in Miami. They're coming off a

408
00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:04,439
Speaker 2: law yes, so the one thing the Dolphins, how are

409
00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:07,280
Speaker 2: the Giants gonna score? And all of a sudden you're

410
00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:10,480
Speaker 2: one and four. The negativity builds. You saw this week

411
00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:13,520
Speaker 2: one of their players is calling fans burger flippers and

412
00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:16,480
Speaker 2: hot dog flippers. You actually don't flip a hot dog,

413
00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:19,119
Speaker 2: you roll it. You obviously flip a burger, but you

414
00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:20,959
Speaker 2: roll a hot dog. As someone who's eating a lot

415
00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:22,680
Speaker 2: of hot dogs and made a few in my day.

416
00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:26,080
Speaker 2: But the Giants are in major trouble, and I would

417
00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:28,080
Speaker 2: lean and I thought they were gonna be good. I

418
00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:30,840
Speaker 2: was dead wrong. I didn't necessarily believe in Daniel Jones,

419
00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:32,520
Speaker 2: but I thought he'd kind of be like an Alex Smith,

420
00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:35,520
Speaker 2: where he'd keep getting incrementally better. He's obviously getting worse.

421
00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:40,280
Speaker 2: Their offensive lines in shambles, Sakuan's banged up. The Giants

422
00:23:40,280 --> 00:23:42,000
Speaker 2: could be headed toward a four or five win season

423
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:45,760
Speaker 2: if they keep getting rolled. Another team that I believed in,

424
00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:48,760
Speaker 2: I've completely changed my tune a lot like the Giants.

425
00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:50,520
Speaker 2: I don't think the Steelers are any good now. This

426
00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:55,439
Speaker 2: a rivalry week. You're playing Baltimore. Lamar's humming. You know

427
00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:59,080
Speaker 2: Tomlin's fantastic as an underdog, but you lose this game

428
00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:00,880
Speaker 2: all of a sudden, you know you have a two

429
00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:03,399
Speaker 2: game swing basically with the Ravens because they only have

430
00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:05,399
Speaker 2: one loss, you got two. You lose this game, you

431
00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:07,520
Speaker 2: got three, they got one, and they've beat you at

432
00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:10,879
Speaker 2: your place. Not only are you and shambles, but you

433
00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:13,600
Speaker 2: might just be headed toward the first time of Is

434
00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:16,760
Speaker 2: this when Tomlin actually doesn't go above five hundred because

435
00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:19,359
Speaker 2: if they look lifeless, they obviously got some quarterback issues.

436
00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:22,919
Speaker 2: Right now, he won he just Pickt's not playing that well.

437
00:24:23,119 --> 00:24:25,359
Speaker 2: Then he got injured. I saw a quote the I

438
00:24:25,359 --> 00:24:28,639
Speaker 2: think yesterday that he said, I'll be there. Do you

439
00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:31,640
Speaker 2: really want a compromise Kenny Pickett? But I definitely don't

440
00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:35,760
Speaker 2: watch miss Trubisky. If Kenny Pickett's bad slash injured. The

441
00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:39,320
Speaker 2: Steelers are fucked. They just are because you're not winning

442
00:24:39,359 --> 00:24:41,359
Speaker 2: any games with Misch Trubisky. So this is kind of

443
00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:45,440
Speaker 2: a survival game for the Steelers, and last, but not least,

444
00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:49,200
Speaker 2: the Bengals. Now obviously their quarterback is not only compromised,

445
00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:52,919
Speaker 2: you know, physically, his calf's off, but he hasn't played

446
00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:55,120
Speaker 2: well on top of that, and their whole team's off.

447
00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:58,320
Speaker 2: I don't think Arizona is the best team to play

448
00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:01,520
Speaker 2: when shit is just not going well, because the one

449
00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:05,120
Speaker 2: thing the Cardinals do is they play their ass off.

450
00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:07,280
Speaker 2: And when you're trying to figure things out, when you

451
00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:09,679
Speaker 2: guys got guys injured, and you got a wide receiver

452
00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:13,400
Speaker 2: who's complaining and saying he's always open, this type game

453
00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:14,879
Speaker 2: all of a sudden you look up. This happened to

454
00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:18,240
Speaker 2: the Cowboys and they didn't even have internal issues. You're

455
00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:22,639
Speaker 2: down seventeen to ten, and then that pressure starts to build.

456
00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:25,680
Speaker 2: So you know, obviously the Giants are in major trouble

457
00:25:25,720 --> 00:25:28,800
Speaker 2: against Miami the Steelers. It's a rivalry game, but you

458
00:25:28,840 --> 00:25:31,840
Speaker 2: just better win it. I think this sincey at Arizona

459
00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:34,600
Speaker 2: game is a lot more intriguing than anyone would have

460
00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:37,760
Speaker 2: thought week one. You know, like that's a throwaway game.

461
00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:39,960
Speaker 2: Who's watching that thing? I'm keeping an eye on this

462
00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:43,040
Speaker 2: because I could see Cincinnati blowing this thing from a

463
00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:48,399
Speaker 2: mile away. And last, but not least, one guy that

464
00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:52,359
Speaker 2: I've been very critical of just over the years in

465
00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:56,159
Speaker 2: college football was Steve Sarkisian. And I was listening to

466
00:25:56,200 --> 00:26:00,440
Speaker 2: our guys snaps T Bob and Aaron Murray and T

467
00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:04,479
Speaker 2: Bob's a hater. Two and again, this isn't nothing personal.

468
00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:07,359
Speaker 2: I've never even met sark It was always simply he

469
00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:10,960
Speaker 2: got these incredible jobs, and he recruited his ass off,

470
00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:13,760
Speaker 2: and he could never he couldn't win nine games. His

471
00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:16,520
Speaker 2: record's like seven and five and eight and five. All

472
00:26:16,560 --> 00:26:20,320
Speaker 2: the time. It's like this guy he's coaching NFL players

473
00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:24,960
Speaker 2: left and right, loaded with talent, and just didn't win.

474
00:26:25,520 --> 00:26:27,720
Speaker 2: So I was just like, I don't get it. And

475
00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:29,479
Speaker 2: then he gets a Texas job. Yeah, some guys are

476
00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:31,800
Speaker 2: really good coordinators and you put him in a big spot,

477
00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:35,920
Speaker 2: they just lose. Well, this season has gone pretty well

478
00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:38,560
Speaker 2: for him. And I've said this before, but I talked

479
00:26:38,560 --> 00:26:40,480
Speaker 2: to a buddy during training camp, a couple guys that

480
00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:43,439
Speaker 2: had went through there from a scouting perspective, They're like,

481
00:26:43,800 --> 00:26:46,720
Speaker 2: this team stacked, man, this team is loaded. I'm like,

482
00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:49,000
Speaker 2: I still don't trust him. I don't give a shit.

483
00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:51,679
Speaker 2: If he has the best roster in college football, I

484
00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:53,520
Speaker 2: think he's more likely to go ten and two than

485
00:26:53,560 --> 00:26:56,800
Speaker 2: win the national championship. Well, he's playing Oklahoma. They're both

486
00:26:56,840 --> 00:26:59,640
Speaker 2: five and zero. Obviously Texas is a better version than

487
00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:03,480
Speaker 2: this Oklahoma team. He wins this game, you know, Textas

488
00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:06,240
Speaker 2: probably going to the playoffs. I mean they would be

489
00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:10,280
Speaker 2: on easy Street to you look up and Sarkin, Texas

490
00:27:10,560 --> 00:27:12,919
Speaker 2: is going to be right there. So I got a

491
00:27:12,920 --> 00:27:15,159
Speaker 2: pretty good chance to be pretty wrong on this. I

492
00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:17,200
Speaker 2: never would have picked him to be a playoff team

493
00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:18,760
Speaker 2: at the beginning of the season. I don't care how

494
00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:22,120
Speaker 2: much talent. Clearly, the quarterback's playing well. Defensively, they look

495
00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:26,919
Speaker 2: really good. But you know, Sark's a guy that listen.

496
00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:30,040
Speaker 2: I've never bet on him as a coach, but I've

497
00:27:30,080 --> 00:27:33,199
Speaker 2: never Everyone I know that knows them loves them, like

498
00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:36,000
Speaker 2: swear By the guy. You know, you talk some people

499
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:38,639
Speaker 2: about Lane, you know, Lanes depends who you talk to

500
00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:41,080
Speaker 2: the information you get about Lane Kiffin. When you talk

501
00:27:41,119 --> 00:27:43,439
Speaker 2: to people about Sark, they really really like him, like

502
00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:48,160
Speaker 2: high character guy. Obviously went through some substance issues, which

503
00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:50,879
Speaker 2: you know he kind of pushes back on listen to her,

504
00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:54,280
Speaker 2: different things whatever. At USC, we all go through problems.

505
00:27:54,280 --> 00:27:57,520
Speaker 2: But as a coach, I just never bought it. You know,

506
00:27:57,600 --> 00:28:00,639
Speaker 2: there was a little like Lincoln Riley. There was like

507
00:28:00,680 --> 00:28:04,240
Speaker 2: a soft nature to him. Not that he knew what

508
00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:07,160
Speaker 2: to look for, probably even more than Lincoln in players,

509
00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:09,920
Speaker 2: but his teams it was always something missing. Well, so far,

510
00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:11,960
Speaker 2: this year's teams looked excellent. I was watching a couple

511
00:28:11,960 --> 00:28:14,679
Speaker 2: weeks ago, They're playing Kansas. I'm like this, Kansas, they

512
00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:16,800
Speaker 2: got a big time coach. This guy's gonna get a

513
00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:18,840
Speaker 2: big time job after this year. And the game was close.

514
00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:21,080
Speaker 2: Then all of a sudden I left to run some errands.

515
00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:22,560
Speaker 2: I look back, it was like forty to ten. The

516
00:28:22,640 --> 00:28:25,159
Speaker 2: final score forty to fourteen. So maybe this is the

517
00:28:25,240 --> 00:28:27,159
Speaker 2: year Sark goes to the playoffs. Hell, why couldn't you

518
00:28:27,160 --> 00:28:31,680
Speaker 2: win the national championship? And speaking of national championships, here's

519
00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:36,000
Speaker 2: my bold take of the week, brought to you by

520
00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:39,840
Speaker 2: my friends at Guinness. I was going to bring a

521
00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:43,240
Speaker 2: Guinness onto the show, but I moved an old fridge

522
00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:46,160
Speaker 2: day into a garage, and you know, you put it

523
00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:48,320
Speaker 2: on the dolly and I didn't realize there were some

524
00:28:48,360 --> 00:28:50,520
Speaker 2: guinnesses in there that I opened it, they all fell

525
00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:53,640
Speaker 2: on the ground and exploded, which disappointed me. I didn't

526
00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:55,480
Speaker 2: have time to go to the store because I wanted

527
00:28:55,520 --> 00:28:58,440
Speaker 2: to slam my Guinness while I made my bold take.

528
00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:01,800
Speaker 2: And here's my bold take. College football is really out

529
00:29:01,800 --> 00:29:04,840
Speaker 2: of whack this season in terms of dominance from teams.

530
00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:08,240
Speaker 2: Teams are good, but you're watching, you're saying, there's not

531
00:29:08,320 --> 00:29:10,760
Speaker 2: like a Pete Carroll USC team and it's prime. There's

532
00:29:10,800 --> 00:29:13,800
Speaker 2: not like a Nick Saban team and its prime. Hell,

533
00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:16,720
Speaker 2: the Kirby teams of the last two years at Georgia

534
00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:19,960
Speaker 2: clearly are They're not as good this year, how would

535
00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:22,840
Speaker 2: they be. They've lost like seven hundred players of the NFL.

536
00:29:23,480 --> 00:29:26,800
Speaker 2: Literally every player from the defense two years ago is

537
00:29:26,880 --> 00:29:29,480
Speaker 2: in the NFL right now. I think six or seven

538
00:29:29,520 --> 00:29:32,720
Speaker 2: of them were first round picks. I would imagine they

539
00:29:32,760 --> 00:29:36,120
Speaker 2: have more than eleven on rosters from the last two

540
00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:39,560
Speaker 2: years when you factor in fringe backups as well. So

541
00:29:40,400 --> 00:29:42,000
Speaker 2: I don't care who you are. I don't care how

542
00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:45,040
Speaker 2: great of a recruiter you are. And Kirby's elite. Kirby

543
00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:47,880
Speaker 2: has gone to Georgia and he didn't just live up

544
00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:50,240
Speaker 2: to being a good coach. He immediately became a legend.

545
00:29:50,400 --> 00:29:53,840
Speaker 2: Back to back national championships. Really the first Saban guy

546
00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:57,320
Speaker 2: to become like a star close. You know, he still

547
00:29:57,320 --> 00:29:59,200
Speaker 2: got to win a bunch more to catch Nick, but

548
00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:02,000
Speaker 2: you know, equal of Nick, a guy that can beat Nick,

549
00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:04,240
Speaker 2: a guy that can win Natties, a guy that every

550
00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:07,360
Speaker 2: team in the country. Now Kirby's more suited. Like Kirby's

551
00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:10,720
Speaker 2: not coming to USC or coaching Washington, but every big

552
00:30:10,760 --> 00:30:12,920
Speaker 2: program in the South that can pay ten to fifteen

553
00:30:12,920 --> 00:30:17,280
Speaker 2: million dollars. The Florida's, the Miamis, the Clemsons, the Georgia's,

554
00:30:17,320 --> 00:30:21,440
Speaker 2: the Alabamas, the Lshues would line up and take Kirby Smart.

555
00:30:21,720 --> 00:30:23,800
Speaker 2: Does feel like they're a little off this year, and

556
00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:26,160
Speaker 2: they're starting these games slow. I don't blame them, some

557
00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:28,040
Speaker 2: of the guys on the team. It's part of it.

558
00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:29,520
Speaker 2: Like I don't know if it's a disease of me.

559
00:30:30,080 --> 00:30:32,880
Speaker 2: You start feeling yourself. You start viewing even though you

560
00:30:33,080 --> 00:30:35,760
Speaker 2: didn't maybe start for the last couple of teams, but

561
00:30:35,800 --> 00:30:37,800
Speaker 2: you were on the team. You start viewing yourself like

562
00:30:37,840 --> 00:30:40,280
Speaker 2: a champion, even though you played like three snaps on

563
00:30:40,360 --> 00:30:43,000
Speaker 2: special teams. You don't play as hard. Hell, you might

564
00:30:43,080 --> 00:30:45,400
Speaker 2: just not be as good. Like usually when you lose

565
00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:49,400
Speaker 2: a Jalen Carter or Nakobe Dean or some of these guys,

566
00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:51,960
Speaker 2: there's a drop off, even if it might just be

567
00:30:52,040 --> 00:30:54,800
Speaker 2: a year long Like Nick Saban didn't win every six

568
00:30:54,840 --> 00:30:58,520
Speaker 2: straight national championships, right, there's usually one on one off.

569
00:30:58,840 --> 00:31:00,840
Speaker 2: I think they're bound to get up. We haven't seen

570
00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:03,880
Speaker 2: a crazy upset in college football this year. Uh. You know,

571
00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:05,880
Speaker 2: you could say Duke against Clemson, but then it turned

572
00:31:05,840 --> 00:31:07,920
Speaker 2: out Due who's pretty freaking good. They almost beat Notre Dame.

573
00:31:08,560 --> 00:31:11,720
Speaker 2: This feels like you look up and you're gonna see

574
00:31:11,720 --> 00:31:14,440
Speaker 2: a big time upset. Now. I could see USC losing

575
00:31:14,680 --> 00:31:17,400
Speaker 2: at any moment if Caleb were to rolling ankle that defense,

576
00:31:17,480 --> 00:31:20,920
Speaker 2: that they could get beat. But I do wonder like

577
00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:25,440
Speaker 2: Georgia just complacency. It's just it's hard, you know. I

578
00:31:25,440 --> 00:31:28,440
Speaker 2: don't think any team has won three straight national championships

579
00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:31,640
Speaker 2: since like the forties. Definitely, I don't believe it's gonna

580
00:31:31,640 --> 00:31:33,800
Speaker 2: happen this year. So my bold take of the week

581
00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:39,400
Speaker 2: will be that Georgia loses to Kentucky. Brought to you

606
00:33:23,040 --> 00:33:27,920

Speaker 2: que As those Trojans can't cover a fucking soul.

608
00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:38,840
Speaker 1: I'm unbelievable. Yeah, the uh I think it was forty

609
00:33:39,560 --> 00:33:43,880
Speaker 1: seven to twenty I think, and then the game was

610
00:33:43,960 --> 00:33:47,160
Speaker 1: in doubt a bit towards the end. You're not winning

611
00:33:47,600 --> 00:33:49,840
Speaker 1: a national title with that defense. I mean, it's it's

612
00:33:49,880 --> 00:33:52,240
Speaker 1: just the same old story, like we talked about last week,

613
00:33:52,240 --> 00:33:52,760
Speaker 1: it's crazy.

614
00:33:53,960 --> 00:33:57,680
Speaker 2: I was watching and it kind of felt at one

615
00:33:57,760 --> 00:34:00,600
Speaker 2: point like a little Oregon e right there, just are

616
00:34:00,640 --> 00:34:03,040
Speaker 2: they gonna win this game? Sixty to thirty? So I

617
00:34:03,080 --> 00:34:05,080
Speaker 2: was like, shit, I'll go to the gym and I

618
00:34:05,160 --> 00:34:06,720
Speaker 2: turned it on, just like I will keep an eye

619
00:34:06,760 --> 00:34:08,759
Speaker 2: on it. All of a sudden, I looked up they

620
00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:11,120
Speaker 2: had I think they had broken a big play, and

621
00:34:11,120 --> 00:34:13,000
Speaker 2: then Caleb threw a pick and it kind of snowball

622
00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:16,160
Speaker 2: and you're like, holy shit. Now the game, I don't think,

623
00:34:16,280 --> 00:34:18,480
Speaker 2: is it fair to say, was not quite as close

624
00:34:18,560 --> 00:34:20,480
Speaker 2: as the forty eight to forty one, but it definitely

625
00:34:20,520 --> 00:34:22,920
Speaker 2: was a legit cover by the by the buffs.

626
00:34:24,360 --> 00:34:26,879
Speaker 1: Yeah, And it just shows you the difference between Yeah,

627
00:34:26,880 --> 00:34:28,880
Speaker 1: I mean, look, USC had that game in hand and

628
00:34:28,880 --> 00:34:31,200
Speaker 1: then some fluky stuff happened at the end. But it

629
00:34:31,280 --> 00:34:35,319
Speaker 1: just shows you the difference between you know, USC and

630
00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:39,920
Speaker 1: who's like a really good top ten team and but

631
00:34:40,120 --> 00:34:43,879
Speaker 1: like in a real national title contender in like Oregon. Right,

632
00:34:43,960 --> 00:34:45,440
Speaker 1: just look at the difference scene the two games. I know,

633
00:34:45,440 --> 00:34:47,520
Speaker 1: whom's at homes on the road, but they scored about

634
00:34:47,520 --> 00:34:49,360
Speaker 1: the same amount of points and Oregon could have scored

635
00:34:49,440 --> 00:34:53,720
Speaker 1: seventy if they wanted to, And Kylda couldn't score against

636
00:34:53,719 --> 00:34:57,680
Speaker 1: Oregon and they they could with ease against USC And

637
00:34:57,719 --> 00:35:01,360
Speaker 1: that's just that's gonna be their downfall until Highly invests

638
00:35:01,480 --> 00:35:04,040
Speaker 1: time into the defense and probably gets a new coordinator.

639
00:35:04,840 --> 00:35:07,840
Speaker 2: Okay, before we dive into the NFL, let's hit on

640
00:35:07,880 --> 00:35:10,400
Speaker 2: a couple. There actually are some pretty good college games.

641
00:35:10,760 --> 00:35:13,120
Speaker 2: Thank god. Oklahoma just kind of got their shit together

642
00:35:13,160 --> 00:35:17,120
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty three. Now are they actually good? Who knows?

643
00:35:17,160 --> 00:35:19,080
Speaker 2: But this rivalry when they're both five and oh, it's

644
00:35:19,120 --> 00:35:21,640
Speaker 2: pretty cool. I mean, this game always lives up to

645
00:35:21,680 --> 00:35:24,759
Speaker 2: the hype. I mean last year, I forget the score

646
00:35:24,760 --> 00:35:29,720
Speaker 2: offf hand, but wasn't it like one hundred forty? Yeah?

647
00:35:29,760 --> 00:35:33,239
Speaker 2: So I think it was the biggest biggest win the

648
00:35:33,280 --> 00:35:37,520
Speaker 2: history of the game either side. So that was Venables

649
00:35:37,880 --> 00:35:41,319
Speaker 2: pretty big moment. Clearly, Texas is legit, I mean most

650
00:35:41,360 --> 00:35:44,120
Speaker 2: people think, and rightfully so, I mean, they could win

651
00:35:44,160 --> 00:35:47,680
Speaker 2: the national championship. I'm still hesitant with Steve Sarkisian, but

652
00:35:48,800 --> 00:35:51,680
Speaker 2: line's not that big and what happened last year, obviously

653
00:35:51,719 --> 00:35:54,879
Speaker 2: Texas is more talented. Does Oklahoma have a shot here?

654
00:35:55,000 --> 00:35:56,000
Speaker 2: Upset Alert.

655
00:35:58,040 --> 00:36:00,600
Speaker 1: I think they have a shot. I don't see it happening,

656
00:36:01,880 --> 00:36:03,560
Speaker 1: but yeah, I mean last year jyll And Gabriel who's

657
00:36:03,560 --> 00:36:06,640
Speaker 1: playing really well. They have a kid behind him, Jackson

658
00:36:06,719 --> 00:36:09,319
Speaker 1: Arnold who's five stars, gonna be really good at quarterback too.

659
00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:12,520
Speaker 1: But last year they didn't have either. They were running

660
00:36:12,560 --> 00:36:15,520
Speaker 1: wildcat like. Gabriel was hurt and it was it was bad.

661
00:36:15,560 --> 00:36:18,239
Speaker 1: It was embarrassing. Their defense got embarrassed. The defense is

662
00:36:18,280 --> 00:36:21,360
Speaker 1: better this year. It significantly improved. I think that's the

663
00:36:21,360 --> 00:36:23,120
Speaker 1: biggest thing with this Oklahoma team. And then they have

664
00:36:23,160 --> 00:36:26,239
Speaker 1: a quarterback's not hurt now. The offense it's still like

665
00:36:26,600 --> 00:36:30,320
Speaker 1: lacks some playmakers on the outside. You're not like wowed

666
00:36:30,480 --> 00:36:34,000
Speaker 1: by you know, when Gabriel, who's who's playing really well.

667
00:36:34,760 --> 00:36:37,560
Speaker 1: If you watch the difference between Texas and Oklahoma, I

668
00:36:37,640 --> 00:36:39,880
Speaker 1: think that's the biggest thing right now is that Texas

669
00:36:39,920 --> 00:36:43,759
Speaker 1: has like just explosive play pros on the outside and

670
00:36:43,880 --> 00:36:48,040
Speaker 1: Oklahoma you know, doesn't really have that. Right now. The

671
00:36:48,120 --> 00:36:50,879
Speaker 1: defense I think is is legit. Some of it's kind

672
00:36:50,920 --> 00:36:54,520
Speaker 1: of you know, the competition based, but I think they'll

673
00:36:54,520 --> 00:36:56,480
Speaker 1: give them a game. They're obviously gonna be up for it.

674
00:36:56,560 --> 00:37:00,880
Speaker 1: After last year, but I think Texas's defensive front is

675
00:37:00,880 --> 00:37:02,840
Speaker 1: going to be the difference, just like it was against Alabama.

676
00:37:02,880 --> 00:37:06,600
Speaker 1: The Oklahoma offensive line and in addition to the receivers

677
00:37:06,719 --> 00:37:10,560
Speaker 1: is kind of the weak area of this team still

678
00:37:10,600 --> 00:37:12,920
Speaker 1: hasn't come together yet. And you know, I think the

679
00:37:13,000 --> 00:37:15,880
Speaker 1: secondary the run, he's playing outstandard, but the secondary can

680
00:37:15,880 --> 00:37:19,400
Speaker 1: be attacked. So as long as yours up, there is

681
00:37:19,400 --> 00:37:21,799
Speaker 1: an upset of lecause youwers could always he's still kind

682
00:37:21,800 --> 00:37:23,879
Speaker 1: of scares, but he could have like just a game

683
00:37:23,920 --> 00:37:26,960
Speaker 1: where he's just completely off and has accuracy issues and

684
00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:29,479
Speaker 1: throws a couple of picks. That's where this game could

685
00:37:29,480 --> 00:37:31,920
Speaker 1: get really scary. I think the line's about right. I

686
00:37:31,920 --> 00:37:33,120
Speaker 1: made it like seven and a half, so I think

687
00:37:33,120 --> 00:37:35,759
Speaker 1: it's a little short, but you know, and if you

688
00:37:35,800 --> 00:37:40,360
Speaker 1: look at Oklahoma, yes they've looked impressive, but they played

689
00:37:40,480 --> 00:37:44,919
Speaker 1: SMU at home and it was fourteen eleven with nine

690
00:37:44,960 --> 00:37:48,280
Speaker 1: to go in the game, and then you know, SMU

691
00:37:48,640 --> 00:37:50,960
Speaker 1: had a special teams blunder and then they went forward

692
00:37:50,960 --> 00:37:53,359
Speaker 1: on fourth down at their own thirty and Oklahoma scored

693
00:37:53,360 --> 00:37:56,560
Speaker 1: two touchdowns to make that look like and SU actually

694
00:37:56,600 --> 00:37:58,759
Speaker 1: outgained them. And if you look at the Sinci game

695
00:37:58,800 --> 00:38:01,440
Speaker 1: they won by fourteen, but since he was gone up

696
00:38:01,440 --> 00:38:03,960
Speaker 1: and down the field and just couldn't do anything in

697
00:38:03,960 --> 00:38:07,160
Speaker 1: the red zone. So yeah, yeah, Okahlma's look impressive, but

698
00:38:07,640 --> 00:38:11,360
Speaker 1: you know, two of their better data points. There's actually

699
00:38:11,360 --> 00:38:13,279
Speaker 1: been some questions there and hasn't been as easy as

700
00:38:13,280 --> 00:38:15,799
Speaker 1: the final score might have indicated. So yeah, I think

701
00:38:15,880 --> 00:38:18,520
Speaker 1: Oklahoma will be up STEMI upset alert, but I think

702
00:38:18,560 --> 00:38:19,920
Speaker 1: Texas gets it done. They're legit.

703
00:38:20,640 --> 00:38:23,800
Speaker 2: Okay, two other quick SEC games obviously, the one that

704
00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:26,200
Speaker 2: you know in your backyard. I mean it's in Georgia,

705
00:38:26,239 --> 00:38:29,080
Speaker 2: but you know this Kentucky team, Will they're five and zero.

706
00:38:29,760 --> 00:38:32,680
Speaker 2: A little ewing theory here, Will Levis leaves in there.

707
00:38:33,200 --> 00:38:35,839
Speaker 2: They look a lot better. Clearly their offense, I mean,

708
00:38:35,880 --> 00:38:40,239
Speaker 2: based on getting rich Rid of Skangarillo last year. You know,

709
00:38:40,719 --> 00:38:43,440
Speaker 2: I don't know if George's is good. Clearly they're not.

710
00:38:43,640 --> 00:38:46,640
Speaker 2: I mean, you can't lose that many elite players. And

711
00:38:46,680 --> 00:38:49,279
Speaker 2: then the A and M Bama game, I mean, I

712
00:38:49,680 --> 00:38:51,759
Speaker 2: think A and M's got to be the bet there,

713
00:38:51,880 --> 00:38:54,319
Speaker 2: even if you're not a huge Jimbo Fisher guy, right,

714
00:38:54,400 --> 00:38:56,640
Speaker 2: I mean, this Bama team feels more nine to three

715
00:38:56,719 --> 00:39:00,359
Speaker 2: than it does eleven and one. So I don't really

716
00:39:00,400 --> 00:39:02,319
Speaker 2: know what to make of Georgia Kentucky. I'll be honest,

717
00:39:02,360 --> 00:39:04,520
Speaker 2: I haven't really watched Kentucky, but fuck I mean I

718
00:39:04,560 --> 00:39:06,680
Speaker 2: watched a little bit of A and M multiple games.

719
00:39:07,080 --> 00:39:08,920
Speaker 2: You and this was the thing last year when they

720
00:39:08,920 --> 00:39:11,400
Speaker 2: went what five and seven? The talent No one argues

721
00:39:11,440 --> 00:39:14,000
Speaker 2: the talent. I talked to a guy in the league

722
00:39:14,040 --> 00:39:17,520
Speaker 2: that went through some of the SEC schools, and they say,

723
00:39:17,560 --> 00:39:19,839
Speaker 2: if they can just get the train on the tracks there,

724
00:39:20,120 --> 00:39:22,799
Speaker 2: they can beat anyone on any given week, just because

725
00:39:22,840 --> 00:39:25,960
Speaker 2: they have so many NFL level bodies from like junior

726
00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:26,760
Speaker 2: down to freshmen.

727
00:39:28,239 --> 00:39:30,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, I am is the bet I bet A and

728
00:39:30,320 --> 00:39:32,640
Speaker 1: M there plus three it's come down. Still, I still

729
00:39:32,680 --> 00:39:34,879
Speaker 1: like it. I think they win that game. This Alabama team,

730
00:39:35,600 --> 00:39:37,720
Speaker 1: it's just a messer. Their offensive line is a mess.

731
00:39:38,120 --> 00:39:41,080
Speaker 1: They obviously can't really consistently throw. Milroe can hit a bomb,

732
00:39:41,080 --> 00:39:43,640
Speaker 1: but he's not you know, he can't run this pro

733
00:39:43,680 --> 00:39:47,160
Speaker 1: style offense and throw the intermediary routes and really read

734
00:39:47,200 --> 00:39:49,320
Speaker 1: a defense. And the Texas A and M one of

735
00:39:49,320 --> 00:39:51,799
Speaker 1: the most you said, they have five star talent all over,

736
00:39:51,920 --> 00:39:53,920
Speaker 1: one of the most talented rosters in all college football,

737
00:39:53,920 --> 00:39:56,040
Speaker 1: which makes what they did last year is so shocking.

738
00:39:56,760 --> 00:39:58,919
Speaker 1: So credit to Jimbo for at least going out getting

739
00:39:58,920 --> 00:40:04,719
Speaker 1: Bobby Patrino to run the offense. And yeah, it's a

740
00:40:04,880 --> 00:40:07,480
Speaker 1: motley crewe and he's he's given them full range and

741
00:40:07,600 --> 00:40:10,080
Speaker 1: like they now have a more modern it's not the

742
00:40:10,160 --> 00:40:15,840
Speaker 1: Jimbo conservative, boring offense. And they have pros at receiver.

743
00:40:16,520 --> 00:40:18,520
Speaker 1: Their started quarterback got hurt, but there's not much of

744
00:40:18,560 --> 00:40:23,080
Speaker 1: a drop off to Max Johnson. He was an LSU transfer.

745
00:40:23,840 --> 00:40:26,080
Speaker 1: He's played well. But the biggest thing is that their defense.

746
00:40:26,120 --> 00:40:27,840
Speaker 1: They couldn't stop the run. They were one of the

747
00:40:27,880 --> 00:40:30,160
Speaker 1: worst run defenses in the country last year. Even though

748
00:40:30,160 --> 00:40:32,799
Speaker 1: they have five stars all on the defensive line at linebacker.

749
00:40:32,920 --> 00:40:36,480
Speaker 1: They fixed those issues. And that's the biggest thing against Alabama.

750
00:40:36,560 --> 00:40:38,800
Speaker 1: I mean Milroe, I mean look at last week against

751
00:40:38,800 --> 00:40:42,680
Speaker 1: Mississippi State. He got Missippi State defense that is gutted,

752
00:40:42,680 --> 00:40:45,480
Speaker 1: that is horrendous. This year he went ten to twelve

753
00:40:45,520 --> 00:40:48,200
Speaker 1: for one hundred and sixty yards and then Alabama runs

754
00:40:48,200 --> 00:40:50,840
Speaker 1: it forty five times for one hundred and ninety yards.

755
00:40:50,880 --> 00:40:54,200
Speaker 1: Like this is one of the worst rushing offenses too.

756
00:40:54,239 --> 00:40:56,399
Speaker 1: That Sabans ever had, and that's all they can do

757
00:40:56,880 --> 00:40:58,640
Speaker 1: with Milroe. So I think the text A and M

758
00:40:58,719 --> 00:41:02,520
Speaker 1: run defense up for the task here, and as all

759
00:41:02,520 --> 00:41:04,120
Speaker 1: as they don't give up too many bombs, because that's

760
00:41:04,120 --> 00:41:06,319
Speaker 1: Nora specialty. You can throw a great deep ball, they

761
00:41:06,360 --> 00:41:08,879
Speaker 1: should be fine here. They're the teams it's good. It's

762
00:41:08,920 --> 00:41:11,799
Speaker 1: weird to say and see, but they're the team with

763
00:41:11,920 --> 00:41:17,200
Speaker 1: the clearly, clearly way more talented receiving corps. Alabamas doesn't

764
00:41:17,239 --> 00:41:20,640
Speaker 1: have playmakers on the outside this year. You know, you

765
00:41:20,680 --> 00:41:22,719
Speaker 1: can remember the Alabama teas from two three years ago.

766
00:41:22,800 --> 00:41:25,000
Speaker 1: All those receivers that were going to be pros. Not

767
00:41:25,120 --> 00:41:26,920
Speaker 1: really the case this year. No one's emerged on the

768
00:41:26,960 --> 00:41:29,799
Speaker 1: outside in Alabama and Texas. A and M has a

769
00:41:29,800 --> 00:41:31,759
Speaker 1: couple of senior really good receivers and then a couple

770
00:41:31,800 --> 00:41:34,360
Speaker 1: of freshmen that are going to play in the NFL.

771
00:41:34,480 --> 00:41:36,840
Speaker 1: So I think that'll be the difference in front of

772
00:41:36,880 --> 00:41:40,920
Speaker 1: a raucous home crowd. And then Kentucky Georgia, Yeah, I

773
00:41:40,920 --> 00:41:41,520
Speaker 1: get back.

774
00:41:41,520 --> 00:41:45,120
Speaker 2: Really really quick, Stucky, don't don't you think the if

775
00:41:45,160 --> 00:41:47,640
Speaker 2: you look, I would imagine you can get them ten

776
00:41:47,800 --> 00:41:51,239
Speaker 2: plus to one to win the SEC. If they win

777
00:41:51,320 --> 00:41:54,719
Speaker 2: this game, their road to the SEC Championship game gets

778
00:41:54,719 --> 00:41:56,600
Speaker 2: a lot easier. Obviously, they have one loss, but that

779
00:41:56,640 --> 00:41:58,759
Speaker 2: was to Miami all of a sudden. I mean, they're

780
00:41:58,760 --> 00:42:01,200
Speaker 2: going to be favored against you know, several of the

781
00:42:01,280 --> 00:42:04,880
Speaker 2: other teams. I think that A and M, you know,

782
00:42:05,120 --> 00:42:08,239
Speaker 2: if you like, that would be the bet because if

783
00:42:08,239 --> 00:42:10,760
Speaker 2: they do win this game, it opens up pretty easy.

784
00:42:11,120 --> 00:42:12,800
Speaker 2: I don't want to say easy. The SEC West is

785
00:42:12,800 --> 00:42:15,399
Speaker 2: always difficult, but they've already beat Auburn, They've already beat

786
00:42:16,200 --> 00:42:18,040
Speaker 2: who they beat. Arkansas is not any good. But then

787
00:42:18,040 --> 00:42:20,640
Speaker 2: you beat Alabama. I don't know, man, I mean, you

788
00:42:20,680 --> 00:42:24,400
Speaker 2: look at Georgia two. Even if their road is relatively

789
00:42:24,440 --> 00:42:26,600
Speaker 2: easy to get the SEC Championship game, A and M

790
00:42:26,680 --> 00:42:29,080
Speaker 2: does have the talent to beat them, It's it's not

791
00:42:29,120 --> 00:42:30,200
Speaker 2: that crazy. I don't think.

792
00:42:31,000 --> 00:42:33,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, I would agree. I think that that is the bet.

793
00:42:33,719 --> 00:42:37,000
Speaker 1: I unfortunately I have an Ole miss twenty five to

794
00:42:37,000 --> 00:42:39,680
Speaker 1: one to win the division ticket. The problem there is

795
00:42:39,719 --> 00:42:41,640
Speaker 1: that they you know, they already lost Obama. They do

796
00:42:41,719 --> 00:42:44,480
Speaker 1: host Texas A and M, but they have to go

797
00:42:44,520 --> 00:42:47,360
Speaker 1: to Georgia and they already have a loss against Alabama.

798
00:42:47,440 --> 00:42:49,200
Speaker 1: So yeah, in Texas A and M. It's like they

799
00:42:49,280 --> 00:42:52,360
Speaker 1: go to Tennessee, the Tennessee's down this year, you know,

800
00:42:52,400 --> 00:42:55,680
Speaker 1: then they host South Carolina, they you know, they have

801
00:42:55,760 --> 00:42:57,680
Speaker 1: that game at all, mess with their you know, miss state,

802
00:42:57,800 --> 00:43:00,919
Speaker 1: and then LSU can't stop a nose. So yeah, I agree.

803
00:43:00,960 --> 00:43:04,200
Speaker 1: I think that's as of right now, that is the bet.

804
00:43:04,520 --> 00:43:08,640
Speaker 1: And then Georgia Kentucky. I'm looking to Ray Davis was awesome.

805
00:43:08,719 --> 00:43:11,560
Speaker 1: They've ran for a million yards against Barta last week,

806
00:43:12,520 --> 00:43:15,080
Speaker 1: but the offense has still been so inconsistent. Like last week,

807
00:43:15,080 --> 00:43:16,560
Speaker 1: they were just handing it to Ray Davis and he

808
00:43:16,600 --> 00:43:20,879
Speaker 1: was running through everybody. I think Leary is still hurt.

809
00:43:21,000 --> 00:43:22,840
Speaker 1: He's still he has like these not hurt as this

810
00:43:22,960 --> 00:43:26,279
Speaker 1: mechanical issue after his peck injury. So he's been so

811
00:43:26,640 --> 00:43:30,800
Speaker 1: inconsistent and with his accuracy, especially early on in games

812
00:43:30,840 --> 00:43:33,960
Speaker 1: until he kind of gets his uh peck and shoulder

813
00:43:34,040 --> 00:43:36,480
Speaker 1: warmed up, and then receivers have had a lot of

814
00:43:36,560 --> 00:43:39,719
Speaker 1: drop issues. So that offense has been like very inconsistent

815
00:43:39,760 --> 00:43:42,719
Speaker 1: because of this mechanical issue because the receiver drops. They've

816
00:43:42,760 --> 00:43:45,799
Speaker 1: hit a ton of explosive plays, which is great, but

817
00:43:45,880 --> 00:43:48,080
Speaker 1: you can't really do that against Georgia. And I'm not

818
00:43:48,120 --> 00:43:50,040
Speaker 1: sure they're gonna be able to line up and just

819
00:43:50,160 --> 00:43:53,239
Speaker 1: run Ray Davis, especially at their last week. You know

820
00:43:53,280 --> 00:43:55,240
Speaker 1: that it's not like they have a mobile quarterback. George's

821
00:43:55,320 --> 00:43:57,960
Speaker 1: got ran through by Auburn who who cannot complete a

822
00:43:58,000 --> 00:44:00,799
Speaker 1: forward pass. I assume they're defense is going to be

823
00:44:00,880 --> 00:44:04,200
Speaker 1: on full alert here, But yeah, Georgia is a step down. Look.

824
00:44:04,239 --> 00:44:05,480
Speaker 1: I mean, if i'd have bet this game, I would

825
00:44:05,520 --> 00:44:10,480
Speaker 1: bet Kentucky. But I'm getting bad vibes, just my gutten intuition,

826
00:44:10,640 --> 00:44:13,040
Speaker 1: like it's a wake up call game for Georgia and

827
00:44:13,120 --> 00:44:15,359
Speaker 1: they don't cover this game or maybe even loose. I mean,

828
00:44:15,560 --> 00:44:17,759
Speaker 1: if they only went by seven to ten, then they're

829
00:44:17,840 --> 00:44:20,440
Speaker 1: they're really off. But yeah, there's there's no emotional lead

830
00:44:20,480 --> 00:44:22,880
Speaker 1: on the offense or defense. Clear step down a quarterback,

831
00:44:22,920 --> 00:44:25,600
Speaker 1: clear step down an offensive coordinator. And I think that

832
00:44:25,640 --> 00:44:28,640
Speaker 1: they're just they're complacent, right, they went back to back

833
00:44:28,760 --> 00:44:32,120
Speaker 1: national titles. The schedule stinks, so you're just like, all right,

834
00:44:32,160 --> 00:44:35,040
Speaker 1: get me to the College tell playoff. I mean, they're

835
00:44:35,080 --> 00:44:37,120
Speaker 1: down seven nothing at the end of every first quarter,

836
00:44:37,160 --> 00:44:40,959
Speaker 1: no matter who they play, that's eventually going to burn them.

837
00:44:41,040 --> 00:44:42,680
Speaker 1: You would think that maybe they wake up here.

838
00:44:42,880 --> 00:44:43,239
Speaker 2: I don't know.

839
00:44:43,280 --> 00:44:45,120
Speaker 1: They didn't do it at home against South Carolina. They

840
00:44:45,120 --> 00:44:46,520
Speaker 1: didn't do it at home. They didn't do it on

841
00:44:46,560 --> 00:44:49,360
Speaker 1: the road against AUBURNE last week. I'm getting bad vibes

842
00:44:49,400 --> 00:44:51,520
Speaker 1: from it, but I'll be I didn't bet it, No

843
00:44:51,640 --> 00:44:56,160
Speaker 1: bet there. I'll be out and about in Lexington watching

844
00:44:56,160 --> 00:44:58,799
Speaker 1: and rooting so the town burns down.

845
00:44:59,520 --> 00:45:02,600
Speaker 2: It's pretty crazy how wide open of all the years, right,

846
00:45:02,640 --> 00:45:04,440
Speaker 2: George is clearly a couple of years ago was the

847
00:45:04,480 --> 00:45:06,759
Speaker 2: best them in Alabama. Last year they were head and

848
00:45:06,800 --> 00:45:10,640
Speaker 2: shoulders more talented than everyone else. It feels like Ohio State, Michigan,

849
00:45:10,960 --> 00:45:15,080
Speaker 2: Oregon and Washington. You know, I think Florida State is

850
00:45:15,120 --> 00:45:17,480
Speaker 2: just gonna be there right now that they got through

851
00:45:17,600 --> 00:45:21,719
Speaker 2: LSU and Clemson. It's pretty It's pretty cool just because

852
00:45:21,760 --> 00:45:24,959
Speaker 2: it's freaking Texas. Obviously they win this game, their path

853
00:45:25,000 --> 00:45:28,080
Speaker 2: to the playoff. I mean, what do you think six

854
00:45:28,160 --> 00:45:30,400
Speaker 2: seven teams have a legitimate like chance to win the

855
00:45:30,480 --> 00:45:31,280
Speaker 2: national championship?

856
00:45:32,080 --> 00:45:34,839
Speaker 1: Yeah, you could say eight to ten maybe. I mean,

857
00:45:34,880 --> 00:45:38,279
Speaker 1: like you have the Pac twelve and it's it's all

858
00:45:38,320 --> 00:45:40,200
Speaker 1: over the country too, which I think is so fun.

859
00:45:40,520 --> 00:45:42,680
Speaker 1: And I have this year I have like I think

860
00:45:42,880 --> 00:45:45,240
Speaker 1: ten ten to twelve teams that are within a touchdown

861
00:45:45,239 --> 00:45:48,200
Speaker 1: of each other at the top. Usually within the last decade,

862
00:45:48,200 --> 00:45:51,000
Speaker 1: there's one to two teams that are touchdown above everybody else.

863
00:45:51,400 --> 00:45:53,400
Speaker 1: Now everyone you know, there's ten to twelve teams that

864
00:45:53,440 --> 00:45:57,399
Speaker 1: are bunched up that closely. Look, you could even throw

865
00:45:57,440 --> 00:46:00,439
Speaker 1: in Miami. I mean, how good is Miami. We don't

866
00:46:00,440 --> 00:46:02,520
Speaker 1: really know yet because the schedule, but they beat the

867
00:46:02,560 --> 00:46:05,000
Speaker 1: shit out of Texas A and M. And this is

868
00:46:05,000 --> 00:46:07,080
Speaker 1: a super talented team that the staff was way off

869
00:46:07,120 --> 00:46:09,880
Speaker 1: last year. They hired new coordinators. Tyler van Dyke has

870
00:46:09,880 --> 00:46:11,919
Speaker 1: a lot of talent. He was hurt last year. Throw

871
00:46:11,960 --> 00:46:13,960
Speaker 1: them in there. Throw the PAC twelve in there. You

872
00:46:14,000 --> 00:46:16,839
Speaker 1: have your you know, Penn State, Ohio State, Michigan from

873
00:46:16,840 --> 00:46:20,000
Speaker 1: the Big ten, and then obviously you have your SEC

874
00:46:20,160 --> 00:46:22,160
Speaker 1: which is down, but the teams at the top can

875
00:46:22,200 --> 00:46:24,920
Speaker 1: still win it. So yeah, I think I love this year.

876
00:46:24,960 --> 00:46:27,600
Speaker 1: I think it's great for the sport. And then you're

877
00:46:27,600 --> 00:46:30,560
Speaker 1: getting every region involved. It's it's kind of ironic that

878
00:46:30,600 --> 00:46:33,280
Speaker 1: the this is the PAC twelve arguably is the best

879
00:46:33,520 --> 00:46:36,680
Speaker 1: most deepest conference in college football this year, in its

880
00:46:37,400 --> 00:46:37,960
Speaker 1: last season.

881
00:46:41,560 --> 00:46:44,080
Speaker 2: I bet a lot of people listening or watching have

882
00:46:44,200 --> 00:46:47,080
Speaker 2: been in an accent. I bet a lot of people

883
00:46:47,400 --> 00:46:51,160
Speaker 2: have been into an intense car accident, and let's face it,

884
00:46:51,719 --> 00:46:55,880
Speaker 2: not knowing who to call for help is hard. Hiring

885
00:46:55,920 --> 00:46:59,279
Speaker 2: Morgan and Morgan is easy because Morgan and Morgan is

886
00:46:59,280 --> 00:47:02,000
Speaker 2: America's large just injury law firm with over one hundred

887

Speaker 2: offices nationwide with more than eight hundred lawyers. They've recovered

888
00:47:06,000 --> 00:47:10,120
Speaker 2: over fifteen billion dollars for over three hundred thousand clients.

889
00:47:10,520 --> 00:47:13,080
Speaker 2: Morgan and Morgan has a proven track record of fighting

890
00:47:13,080 --> 00:47:16,560
Speaker 2: to get you full and fair compensation. They've been fighting

891
00:47:16,560 --> 00:47:19,359
Speaker 2: for the people for over thirty five years. Submitting an

892

Speaker 2: injury claim with Morgan and Morgan is so easy. That's

893
00:47:22,760 --> 00:47:26,760
Speaker 2: the key. Not having representation is hard. Fighting with Morgan

894
00:47:26,760 --> 00:47:30,719
Speaker 2: and Morgan is easy. If you've ever been injured, you

901
00:47:55,000 --> 00:47:58,319
Speaker 2: let's get to the NFL. I can't wait. Saturdays are

902
00:47:58,360 --> 00:48:02,640
Speaker 2: fun right now, I'm gonna stick with my philosophy. I've

903
00:48:02,640 --> 00:48:04,839
Speaker 2: done it two weeks in a row. Take a really

904
00:48:04,880 --> 00:48:07,680
Speaker 2: good team against a shitty team with a big number.

905
00:48:07,920 --> 00:48:10,560
Speaker 2: Did it with the Cowboys, I did it with Seattle.

906
00:48:11,000 --> 00:48:13,920
Speaker 2: I'm gonna do it again this week. Sounds crazy, but

907
00:48:14,760 --> 00:48:20,000
Speaker 2: Detroit against the Panthers. Listen, they lost. You know, they're

908
00:48:20,040 --> 00:48:23,880
Speaker 2: one game at home to Seattle, which you know Jared

909
00:48:23,880 --> 00:48:26,000
Speaker 2: got threw a bad pick six that you know they

910
00:48:26,040 --> 00:48:29,160
Speaker 2: ended up going overtime. But this place, now you look

911
00:48:29,200 --> 00:48:32,239
Speaker 2: at that schedule, I'm telling you it's not inconceivable for

912
00:48:32,280 --> 00:48:35,480
Speaker 2: them to win twelve plus games. I mean it's They've

913
00:48:35,520 --> 00:48:37,600
Speaker 2: won two of their harder games obviously the Chiefs and

914
00:48:37,719 --> 00:48:41,840
Speaker 2: at Lambeau. I think Detroit clearly is just pretty stacked

915
00:48:41,880 --> 00:48:43,799
Speaker 2: with talent all over the place, like no one could

916
00:48:43,800 --> 00:48:47,319
Speaker 2: even debate that at this point, and rookie quarterback on

917
00:48:47,440 --> 00:48:50,600
Speaker 2: the road enormous number, I mean ten points. I'm not

918
00:48:50,719 --> 00:48:53,760
Speaker 2: arguing that, but I to me, this got like thirty

919
00:48:53,800 --> 00:48:55,399
Speaker 2: to ten. If it goes the way, I think it's

920
00:48:55,440 --> 00:48:58,400
Speaker 2: gonna go written all over I think the Panthers fucking blow.

921
00:48:58,920 --> 00:49:00,680
Speaker 2: You know, we talked about how bad the Bears are. Well,

922
00:49:00,680 --> 00:49:02,680
Speaker 2: at least at any moment, justin fields can run around

923
00:49:02,680 --> 00:49:04,880
Speaker 2: and do some stuff. Denver is a good example, Like,

924
00:49:04,920 --> 00:49:06,719
Speaker 2: at any moment, Russell can make some plays and they

925
00:49:06,760 --> 00:49:08,560
Speaker 2: just make a couple of tackles and they got Sean Payton.

926
00:49:09,040 --> 00:49:11,360
Speaker 2: I don't think Frank Reik's that good. Their talent's not

927
00:49:11,400 --> 00:49:13,239
Speaker 2: that good. They don't have any weapons on offense. The

928
00:49:13,280 --> 00:49:16,880
Speaker 2: offensive lines a problem, the quarterbacks pretty tiny, and what

929
00:49:16,920 --> 00:49:19,759
Speaker 2: does Detroit have? Pretty good pass rush and obviously offensively

930
00:49:19,800 --> 00:49:21,799
Speaker 2: they're gonna have no problems scoring. I wouldn't say no

931
00:49:21,800 --> 00:49:25,960
Speaker 2: problem scoring because Carolina's got definitely solid personnel and defense.

932
00:49:26,000 --> 00:49:30,400
Speaker 2: Their defensive coordinator is good. But twenty seven to thirteen

933
00:49:30,600 --> 00:49:33,040
Speaker 2: type number, that's that's kind of what I'm a big number.

934
00:49:33,320 --> 00:49:36,320
Speaker 2: But third week in a row, I'm going good Ver shitty,

935
00:49:36,400 --> 00:49:37,280
Speaker 2: I'm taking Detroit.

936
00:49:38,280 --> 00:49:41,239
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't. I don't mind it. I don't have

937
00:49:41,280 --> 00:49:42,719
Speaker 1: a bet on that game. But yeah, I mean, look,

938
00:49:42,760 --> 00:49:45,080
Speaker 1: that Carolina defense could be decent, but they have a

939
00:49:45,080 --> 00:49:47,120
Speaker 1: lot of injuries, including their top corner, one of the

940
00:49:47,160 --> 00:49:49,440
Speaker 1: best in the league. He's out. One of the best

941
00:49:49,520 --> 00:49:52,239
Speaker 1: linebackers is out. I think that their defense by at

942
00:49:52,239 --> 00:49:53,880
Speaker 1: the end of the year with a really good coordinator,

943
00:49:53,960 --> 00:49:57,120
Speaker 1: could be feisty, but right now it's not gonna be

944
00:49:57,160 --> 00:49:59,279
Speaker 1: able to carry a team. And yeah, I just look

945
00:49:59,440 --> 00:50:02,200
Speaker 1: in that the vision from what you've seen already, I

946
00:50:03,280 --> 00:50:05,439
Speaker 1: would you could still win the division from zero to three.

947
00:50:06,000 --> 00:50:07,839
Speaker 1: Like going into last week, I would have said, look,

948
00:50:07,920 --> 00:50:11,120
Speaker 1: Young's not ready. Go I'm I'm rolling with Dalton. I

949
00:50:11,120 --> 00:50:12,600
Speaker 1: think that's the best version of this team. But I

950
00:50:12,640 --> 00:50:15,600
Speaker 1: agree on Reich, I agree on just how this offense

951
00:50:15,680 --> 00:50:18,040
Speaker 1: was put together. I'm not a fan, but I would

952
00:50:18,080 --> 00:50:22,080
Speaker 1: bet the Panthers here catching ten if Dalton was starting.

953
00:50:22,400 --> 00:50:24,520
Speaker 1: He actually gives the offense a chance. We saw that

954
00:50:24,520 --> 00:50:28,440
Speaker 1: at Seattle. If they didn't have nine false starts because

955
00:50:28,440 --> 00:50:31,600
Speaker 1: of that crowd, uh, they could have potentially won that game.

956
00:50:31,640 --> 00:50:33,600
Speaker 1: And that was the only time their office is had

957
00:50:33,600 --> 00:50:38,040
Speaker 1: a pulse all year. Bryce Young maybe look usually he could.

958
00:50:37,840 --> 00:50:41,040
Speaker 2: Tell he looks, he looks, he looks tiny, broa like

959
00:50:41,120 --> 00:50:41,680
Speaker 2: him at college.

960
00:50:43,200 --> 00:50:46,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, and he has no he has no confidence. Right now,

961
00:50:47,360 --> 00:50:51,000
Speaker 1: I haven't seen anything that would make me want to

962
00:50:51,160 --> 00:50:54,720
Speaker 1: trust my money betting on him. So yeah, it's it's fade.

963
00:50:54,760 --> 00:50:58,840
Speaker 1: The Panthers are nothing even though this is yeah, this

964
00:50:58,920 --> 00:51:01,800
Speaker 1: is a big number. I will I would the Panthers

965
00:51:01,800 --> 00:51:03,720
Speaker 1: plus catching ten ten and a half with Andy Dalton,

966
00:51:04,000 --> 00:51:05,480
Speaker 1: want no part of them with Bryce Young.

967
00:51:06,400 --> 00:51:09,200
Speaker 2: I saw a good tweet it was like the Panthers

968
00:51:09,239 --> 00:51:14,080
Speaker 2: basically traded Dj Moore and Caleb Williams for Bryce Young.

969
00:51:14,440 --> 00:51:18,799
Speaker 2: I think they like that one back's amazing, but that

970
00:51:18,800 --> 00:51:22,919
Speaker 2: that's just a fact. Yeah, Okay, let's uh. I knew

971
00:51:22,960 --> 00:51:25,080
Speaker 2: you'd take this, and I was if I wasn't just

972
00:51:25,200 --> 00:51:27,239
Speaker 2: rolling with my philosophy. This has to be the bet

973
00:51:27,320 --> 00:51:32,279
Speaker 2: you've taught me. Tomlin at home dog. Uh, just when

974
00:51:32,320 --> 00:51:37,440
Speaker 2: everyone is just shitting on the franchise, saying fire everybody, quarterbacks,

975
00:51:37,480 --> 00:51:41,759
Speaker 2: banged up, fold the franchise, fire the coaching staff. This

976
00:51:41,920 --> 00:51:42,799
Speaker 2: is just classic him.

977
00:51:42,840 --> 00:51:42,920
Speaker 1: Now.

978
00:51:43,000 --> 00:51:45,480
Speaker 2: I don't know if they win the game, but you

979
00:51:45,640 --> 00:51:49,520
Speaker 2: just it's you know, the uh, from the wisdom of Stuckey.

980
00:51:49,600 --> 00:51:51,600
Speaker 2: You gotta hammer Steelers here right plus four?

981
00:51:51,840 --> 00:51:56,239
Speaker 1: Yeah, this is the classic Tomlin spot. Last week was

982
00:51:56,239 --> 00:51:58,319
Speaker 1: another classic tomin spot. There after a win, they go

983
00:51:58,360 --> 00:52:01,279
Speaker 1: on the road, they play you know a team that

984
00:52:01,360 --> 00:52:04,719
Speaker 1: they you know, with a losing record team and they

985
00:52:04,760 --> 00:52:07,479
Speaker 1: just come out flat on the road. Now, like you said,

986
00:52:07,520 --> 00:52:12,520
Speaker 1: this is the Tomlin is the best in maybe the

987
00:52:12,560 --> 00:52:16,000
Speaker 1: history of the NFL at rallying the troops with an

988
00:52:16,080 --> 00:52:20,799
Speaker 1: US against the world mentality as an underdog, and I mean,

989
00:52:21,040 --> 00:52:23,400
Speaker 1: I can the numbers speak for themselves. He's fifty three,

990
00:52:23,560 --> 00:52:25,600
Speaker 1: twenty eight and three against the spread as an underdog,

991
00:52:26,239 --> 00:52:29,600
Speaker 1: most profitable coach in NFL history. That's over sixty five percent.

992
00:52:30,200 --> 00:52:32,600
Speaker 1: As an underdog against an opponent with a winning record,

993
00:52:32,880 --> 00:52:35,719
Speaker 1: He's thirty three fifteen to one against the spread. That's

994
00:52:35,800 --> 00:52:40,200
Speaker 1: sixty eight point eight percent. He just consistently will get

995
00:52:40,200 --> 00:52:42,360
Speaker 1: the best out of his team in this spot, especially

996
00:52:42,400 --> 00:52:45,160
Speaker 1: after a loss. I also think the Ravens are a

997
00:52:45,160 --> 00:52:49,440
Speaker 1: bit overvalued right now. They are my team, but they've played.

998
00:52:49,760 --> 00:52:52,240
Speaker 1: But they played CJ. Stroud in his first ever start

999
00:52:52,280 --> 00:52:54,160
Speaker 1: on the road in a brand new offensive scheme with

1000
00:52:54,200 --> 00:52:56,800
Speaker 1: an offensive line that was put together the day before.

1001
00:52:57,320 --> 00:52:59,640
Speaker 1: Then they played a one legged Joe Burrow that grades

1002
00:52:59,640 --> 00:53:01,799
Speaker 1: out as the worst quarterback in the NFL right now.

1003
00:53:02,440 --> 00:53:04,480
Speaker 1: Then they play a backup with the Colts. They play

1004
00:53:04,480 --> 00:53:07,439
Speaker 1: a backup who was told he was going to start

1005
00:53:07,960 --> 00:53:09,680
Speaker 1: a day before the game and make his first career

1006
00:53:09,719 --> 00:53:11,960
Speaker 1: start last week in DTR and the Browns never had

1007
00:53:11,960 --> 00:53:14,279
Speaker 1: a shot, so they basically played had one of the

1008
00:53:14,320 --> 00:53:19,960
Speaker 1: most beneficial opposing quarterback situations that I've seen. They might

1009
00:53:20,000 --> 00:53:23,680
Speaker 1: face another backup here in Mitch Trubisky, but just like

1010
00:53:23,760 --> 00:53:25,440
Speaker 1: how they lost to Gardner Minshew, I don't think that's

1011
00:53:25,480 --> 00:53:27,520
Speaker 1: a downgrade. I'm not a can't you pick a guy?

1012
00:53:27,960 --> 00:53:31,000
Speaker 1: He's bailing, he doesn't look great. I'm not saying Mitch

1013
00:53:31,000 --> 00:53:33,360
Speaker 1: Trubisky's any good, but it and it's some big upgrade.

1014
00:53:33,560 --> 00:53:36,040
Speaker 1: It's probably dead even so, it doesn't really matter here

1015
00:53:36,080 --> 00:53:39,000
Speaker 1: that if they face a backup quarterback, but I do

1016
00:53:39,040 --> 00:53:41,120
Speaker 1: think they might be a bit overvalued. This is also

1017
00:53:41,160 --> 00:53:43,480
Speaker 1: you're gonna have some wind here. The totals thirty eight.

1018
00:53:43,680 --> 00:53:48,960
Speaker 1: And this is a classic AFC North rivalry where these

1019
00:53:48,960 --> 00:53:52,040
Speaker 1: teams and coaches are so familiar with each other, and

1020
00:53:52,239 --> 00:53:54,480
Speaker 1: you know you'll get the Steelers best effort. Lamar Jackson,

1021
00:53:54,520 --> 00:53:57,440
Speaker 1: for what it's worth, he really struggled against the Steelers

1022
00:53:57,440 --> 00:54:00,000
Speaker 1: in his career. Is only team he has more interceptions

1023
00:54:00,040 --> 00:54:04,880
Speaker 1: and touchdowns against. He has his lowest passer rating against Pittsburgh.

1024
00:54:04,920 --> 00:54:08,240
Speaker 1: And when these teams meet, I mean, this is pretty crazy.

1025
00:54:08,960 --> 00:54:11,800
Speaker 1: Since two thousand and eight, when Harball got to Baltimore.

1026
00:54:12,280 --> 00:54:15,640
Speaker 1: When the spread is three or more, Ravens and fans

1027
00:54:15,640 --> 00:54:17,279
Speaker 1: and Steelers fans that are better as we have like

1028
00:54:17,280 --> 00:54:19,560
Speaker 1: this rule the spreads over three, you just take the dog.

1029
00:54:20,000 --> 00:54:23,239
Speaker 1: Since two thousand and eight when Harball got there, when

1030
00:54:23,280 --> 00:54:25,960
Speaker 1: the Steelers and Ravens played, they've played thirty times, sort

1031
00:54:26,080 --> 00:54:29,120
Speaker 1: seventeen of the thirty have been decided by three or less.

1032
00:54:29,360 --> 00:54:30,560
Speaker 1: You'd be I mean, did you go back and look

1033
00:54:30,560 --> 00:54:33,040
Speaker 1: at the scores that they're all sixteen fourteen, sixteen thirteen,

1034
00:54:33,080 --> 00:54:35,160
Speaker 1: sixteen fourteen. Yeah, but if you took the dog, if

1035
00:54:35,160 --> 00:54:37,000
Speaker 1: you took the dog when the spread is three or more,

1036
00:54:37,760 --> 00:54:40,280
Speaker 1: in whenever the spread is three or more, the underdog

1037
00:54:40,880 --> 00:54:46,880
Speaker 1: is seventeen one and three against the spread, seventeen one

1038
00:54:46,920 --> 00:54:48,799
Speaker 1: and three against the spread, if you just take the

1039
00:54:48,880 --> 00:54:52,239
Speaker 1: underdog in this matchup when they're catching three or more,

1040
00:54:52,239 --> 00:54:54,080
Speaker 1: which you are here, So yeah, I'll take over a

1041
00:54:54,120 --> 00:54:56,000
Speaker 1: field goal in which should be a low scoring game

1042
00:54:56,239 --> 00:54:57,600
Speaker 1: in a classic Tomlin spot.

1043
00:54:58,400 --> 00:55:00,960
Speaker 2: I think one thing you notice when people forget because

1044
00:55:01,120 --> 00:55:02,960
Speaker 2: you think of teams bad or you think of team's

1045
00:55:03,000 --> 00:55:06,200
Speaker 2: good divisional opponents. I mean, there is a lot of

1046
00:55:06,239 --> 00:55:08,680
Speaker 2: even though the NFL has more turnover than any other sport.

1047
00:55:08,719 --> 00:55:12,400
Speaker 2: There's still a lot of carryover with players like the Commanders.

1048
00:55:12,680 --> 00:55:14,719
Speaker 2: They got a lot of players who aren't like intimidated

1049
00:55:14,719 --> 00:55:17,560
Speaker 2: by Fletcher Cox and Jason you know you saw with

1050
00:55:17,560 --> 00:55:19,759
Speaker 2: the Cardinals last week, like James Connor and some of

1051
00:55:19,760 --> 00:55:21,799
Speaker 2: those guys, like they're fucking the forty nine Ers. We've

1052
00:55:21,800 --> 00:55:24,680
Speaker 2: played you every year for a while. Some of these games,

1053
00:55:24,719 --> 00:55:28,360
Speaker 2: unless you're the Giants, you know, just are much closer

1054
00:55:28,400 --> 00:55:31,520
Speaker 2: than you imagine. And like you said, this is, you know,

1055
00:55:31,600 --> 00:55:34,240
Speaker 2: the closest thing we have to an Ohio State Michigan

1056
00:55:34,280 --> 00:55:36,239
Speaker 2: Auburn now, you know, because the two coaches have been

1057
00:55:36,280 --> 00:55:38,560
Speaker 2: there so long. The rivalry is such a physical game,

1058
00:55:39,960 --> 00:55:41,799
Speaker 2: and a lot of the obviously the defenders now for

1059
00:55:41,880 --> 00:55:43,879
Speaker 2: the Steelers, have been there for a while. So I'm

1060
00:55:43,920 --> 00:55:48,000
Speaker 2: with you. Steelers might stink, but if you could tell

1061
00:55:48,000 --> 00:55:51,080
Speaker 2: me they win six games, they might win this thing.

1062
00:55:51,320 --> 00:55:54,040
Speaker 2: I do think. And it's cool to see. And I

1063
00:55:54,120 --> 00:55:57,600
Speaker 2: mean you know this that Lamar's just the contract things

1064
00:55:57,600 --> 00:55:59,759
Speaker 2: well behind and he's just playing at a really high level.

1065
00:56:00,280 --> 00:56:03,160
Speaker 2: Fun He's just a very very like in the history

1066
00:56:03,160 --> 00:56:05,919
Speaker 2: of my life watching football, just one of the more

1067
00:56:06,120 --> 00:56:08,760
Speaker 2: enjoyable players, you know, the Barry Sanders, the Michael Vicks,

1068
00:56:08,800 --> 00:56:10,799
Speaker 2: just you don't see very often. He is a fucking

1069
00:56:10,840 --> 00:56:12,840
Speaker 2: badass to watch run around and make plays.

1070
00:56:13,000 --> 00:56:15,279
Speaker 1: Yeah, I love watching big. By the end of the year,

1071
00:56:15,360 --> 00:56:19,120
Speaker 1: is going to be in the MVP discussion. Yeah, And

1072
00:56:18,800 --> 00:56:22,359
Speaker 1: he reminds me that's saying like that Barry Sanders when

1073
00:56:23,440 --> 00:56:25,880
Speaker 1: like the pockets collapsed, were in Barry Sanders' case, like

1074
00:56:25,920 --> 00:56:29,719
Speaker 1: he had nowhere to run, nothing's doing bounce it out,

1075
00:56:30,120 --> 00:56:32,080
Speaker 1: you know, running all the way around him and he's

1076
00:56:32,160 --> 00:56:34,680
Speaker 1: gone eighty yards for a touchdown at their spin. Those

1077
00:56:34,680 --> 00:56:37,160
Speaker 1: are some of the plays that Lamar Jackson's making in

1078
00:56:37,200 --> 00:56:39,520
Speaker 1: the pocket. And it's only going to get better, I

1079
00:56:39,520 --> 00:56:43,360
Speaker 1: think this year under a new offense as he adjusts.

1080
00:56:43,360 --> 00:56:45,040
Speaker 1: So yeah, he's a joy to watch for sure.

1081
00:56:45,440 --> 00:56:47,560
Speaker 2: And by can ever stay healthy and load up the

1082
00:56:47,600 --> 00:56:49,920
Speaker 2: elephants around him, he'd be Do you think McCaffrey's got

1083
00:56:49,960 --> 00:56:50,759
Speaker 2: a chance to win the MVP?

1084
00:56:54,200 --> 00:56:59,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think he has. I mean, it's just so

1085
00:56:59,200 --> 00:57:04,719
Speaker 1: hard for a quarter to not win it. Yeah, I

1086
00:57:04,719 --> 00:57:06,920
Speaker 1: mean I think I guess you would have to say

1087
00:57:07,000 --> 00:57:09,000
Speaker 1: he has a chances into discussion as one of the

1088
00:57:09,040 --> 00:57:13,480
Speaker 1: only non quarterbacks. But there's so many elite quarterbacks that

1089
00:57:13,520 --> 00:57:17,640
Speaker 1: are gonna put up stupid numbers this year. But as

1090
00:57:17,680 --> 00:57:19,600
Speaker 1: of right now, like you don't. If you look around,

1091
00:57:19,640 --> 00:57:22,160
Speaker 1: it's like, all right, well Burrow, it's kind of out

1092
00:57:22,160 --> 00:57:25,840
Speaker 1: of the discussion. Lamar, he's he's not putting up the

1093
00:57:25,840 --> 00:57:29,720
Speaker 1: passing touchdown numbers yet in a new offense, there's like Mahome.

1094
00:57:30,040 --> 00:57:32,880
Speaker 1: The Mahomes doesn't have the same weapons. There's like some

1095
00:57:33,000 --> 00:57:34,000
Speaker 1: fatigue there.

1096
00:57:34,520 --> 00:57:40,640
Speaker 2: So compared to the Josh Josh Allen feels like Josh Allen. Yeah,

1097
00:57:40,760 --> 00:57:44,280
Speaker 2: I mean right now, Yeah, people have been kind of

1098
00:57:44,280 --> 00:57:47,160
Speaker 2: waiting to vote on hasn't quite had the year. Now

1099
00:57:47,520 --> 00:57:50,880
Speaker 2: they go fourteen and three, they're the one seed. McCaffrey

1100
00:57:50,880 --> 00:57:53,640
Speaker 2: could have a Marshall falk lt type year and still

1101
00:57:53,760 --> 00:57:54,600
Speaker 2: not get it right.

1102
00:57:55,040 --> 00:57:57,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, So there's the two thing. The reason I would

1103
00:57:57,680 --> 00:57:59,720
Speaker 1: say no is like even though like Lamar could come

1104
00:57:59,760 --> 00:58:02,280
Speaker 1: back into the mix, Mahomes he's always going to be there,

1105
00:58:02,560 --> 00:58:05,640
Speaker 1: But you have Josh Allen. Now the Bills lost their

1106
00:58:05,800 --> 00:58:08,520
Speaker 1: star corner, their number one lockdown corner for the season.

1107
00:58:08,880 --> 00:58:10,720
Speaker 1: Their defense isn't going to be as good. What does

1108
00:58:10,760 --> 00:58:13,160
Speaker 1: that mean you put up even bigger numbers. And then

1109
00:58:13,160 --> 00:58:16,520
Speaker 1: there's also Tu I mean, and their defense is horrendous.

1110
00:58:16,520 --> 00:58:19,280
Speaker 1: So like Too is going to put up ridiculous numbers

1111
00:58:20,000 --> 00:58:23,200
Speaker 1: in Miami this season. So it's just going to be

1112
00:58:23,200 --> 00:58:26,000
Speaker 1: too hard to overcome some of the quarterback numbers that'll

1113
00:58:26,000 --> 00:58:27,480
Speaker 1: eventually be there.

1114
00:58:29,440 --> 00:58:30,960
Speaker 2: You might be a pro when it comes to what

1115
00:58:31,040 --> 00:58:34,120

1127
00:59:21,960 --> 00:59:24,720
Speaker 2: Let's dive into a quarterback. Actually two quarterbacks who are

1128
00:59:24,720 --> 00:59:28,840
Speaker 2: not putting up great numbers. McCorkle, Jones and Derek Carr.

1129
00:59:29,640 --> 00:59:32,160
Speaker 2: I'll give Derek a little bit of the benefit of doubt.

1130
00:59:32,200 --> 00:59:35,160
Speaker 2: Last week's shoulder was messed up, but still that game

1131
00:59:36,120 --> 00:59:39,360
Speaker 2: is subwhat parallels some of his performances in the past,

1132
00:59:39,840 --> 00:59:43,240
Speaker 2: So you know, it's easy to kind of dump on them.

1133
00:59:43,600 --> 00:59:45,880
Speaker 2: I don't know. I mean, I personally couldn't bet on

1134
00:59:45,920 --> 00:59:51,320
Speaker 2: this game. The Saints. I can't believe I liked him

1135
00:59:51,360 --> 00:59:53,240
Speaker 2: as much as I did, And then you watch them

1136
00:59:53,760 --> 00:59:57,040
Speaker 2: and clearly you know Derek just might be an average

1137
00:59:57,320 --> 01:00:00,640
Speaker 2: you know, the lowest level of average quarterback. Patriots are

1138
01:00:00,640 --> 01:00:03,240
Speaker 2: in shambles. I mean, they lost two great defensive players

1139
01:00:03,720 --> 01:00:08,240
Speaker 2: for them, and obviously this must win for the Pats

1140
01:00:08,320 --> 01:00:10,440
Speaker 2: and the Saints. All of a sudden, you lose it

1141
01:00:10,520 --> 01:00:14,320
Speaker 2: home to Tampa. They're on a by You're kinda god,

1142
01:00:14,760 --> 01:00:16,760
Speaker 2: Are you more likely to go seven and ten than

1143
01:00:16,800 --> 01:00:18,400
Speaker 2: be a ten and seven team, because that's kind of

1144
01:00:18,400 --> 01:00:20,240
Speaker 2: what I'm looking at, especially if Derek's going to be

1145
01:00:20,320 --> 01:00:21,320
Speaker 2: messed up with his shoulder.

1146
01:00:23,280 --> 01:00:26,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, I have to. I took the Patriots here, I

1147
01:00:27,000 --> 01:00:30,560
Speaker 1: have to fade the Saints with this version of car

1148
01:00:31,680 --> 01:00:33,000
Speaker 1: until that I see he's healthy.

1149
01:00:33,400 --> 01:00:34,840
Speaker 2: So like, yes, how would you play him?

1150
01:00:35,200 --> 01:00:37,440
Speaker 1: I don't understand they have a capable backup. Last year

1151
01:00:37,480 --> 01:00:40,320
Speaker 1: he went twenty three to thirty seven for one hundred

1152
01:00:40,320 --> 01:00:43,840
Speaker 1: and twenty seven yards three point four yards per attempt

1153
01:00:43,840 --> 01:00:48,400
Speaker 1: on over forty dropbacks. I mean that is that is horrendous.

1154
01:00:48,440 --> 01:00:52,480
Speaker 1: And I think Kamara had thirteen catches for thirty one yards.

1155
01:00:52,520 --> 01:00:57,040
Speaker 1: I don't know how that's even possible mathematically. So yeah,

1156
01:00:57,120 --> 01:00:59,400
Speaker 1: he's just not healthy right now. So like they and yes,

1157
01:00:59,440 --> 01:01:01,800
Speaker 1: the Patriots injuries Judon Hurtz, they have a lot of

1158
01:01:01,840 --> 01:01:05,400
Speaker 1: corner injuries, but there's number one. If you can't throw

1159
01:01:05,440 --> 01:01:07,480
Speaker 1: down field, who cares? So if you don't have corners,

1160
01:01:07,720 --> 01:01:10,360
Speaker 1: but there any corner you plug into this Belichick defense,

1161
01:01:10,400 --> 01:01:12,200
Speaker 1: they just graded out elite. I mean you saw J. C.

1162
01:01:12,320 --> 01:01:14,640
Speaker 1: Jackson was like, he's the best corner the league if

1163
01:01:14,640 --> 01:01:16,520
Speaker 1: you go by the grading. And then he goes to

1164
01:01:16,720 --> 01:01:19,720
Speaker 1: the Chargers and he's a healthy scratch every week. And

1165
01:01:19,840 --> 01:01:22,040
Speaker 1: then the Patriots, no matter what rookie they draft, they

1166
01:01:22,080 --> 01:01:24,400
Speaker 1: have like ten guys named Jones that they drafted. You

1167
01:01:24,480 --> 01:01:26,240
Speaker 1: just plugged them in and then they play. Well, well,

1168
01:01:26,440 --> 01:01:28,760
Speaker 1: maybe it's not the guys and maybe a lot of

1169
01:01:28,760 --> 01:01:31,480
Speaker 1: it's just the scheme. So I don't think that those

1170
01:01:31,560 --> 01:01:35,120
Speaker 1: losses against an offense like this with a limited quarterback

1171
01:01:35,120 --> 01:01:37,520
Speaker 1: are as big as they will be as if you

1172
01:01:37,560 --> 01:01:39,680
Speaker 1: know they were playing the Bills or the Dolphins, say

1173
01:01:39,960 --> 01:01:43,200
Speaker 1: in the division game. So is a fate of car

1174
01:01:43,600 --> 01:01:48,640
Speaker 1: I'm not a Matt Jones guy, never have been. Funny

1175
01:01:48,680 --> 01:01:50,760
Speaker 1: story and it's not personal because funny story when he

1176
01:01:50,840 --> 01:01:55,920
Speaker 1: was in when he was in college, he doing it.

1177
01:01:56,000 --> 01:01:58,320
Speaker 1: He did like a visit to Kentucky and he slid

1178
01:01:58,320 --> 01:02:02,240
Speaker 1: into my wife's my now DMS. We were married at

1179
01:02:02,280 --> 01:02:08,320
Speaker 1: the time. But so I've always how old chuckle. She's

1180
01:02:08,480 --> 01:02:09,360
Speaker 1: six years younger than me.

1181
01:02:09,440 --> 01:02:13,760
Speaker 2: She's thirty two, but she's way older than mac Oh.

1182
01:02:13,840 --> 01:02:19,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah. He found her on Instagram and.

1183
01:02:20,200 --> 01:02:21,120
Speaker 2: He get a response.

1184
01:02:22,160 --> 01:02:25,720
Speaker 1: No, she was like, dude, you're a kid. You're like seventeen.

1185
01:02:25,960 --> 01:02:27,280
Speaker 2: Well you're you're a three star.

1186
01:02:27,640 --> 01:02:32,560
Speaker 1: Yeah. So anyway, I but look the Patriots, I think

1187
01:02:32,560 --> 01:02:34,640
Speaker 1: this is the bottom of the market on them. They've lost,

1188
01:02:34,720 --> 01:02:37,200
Speaker 1: They've their losses. If you look, they lost the Cowboys

1189
01:02:37,200 --> 01:02:40,400
Speaker 1: in a smash Cowboys spot right like, as you know,

1190
01:02:40,600 --> 01:02:42,720
Speaker 1: they were coming off an embarrassing loss at home. But

1191
01:02:42,760 --> 01:02:45,640
Speaker 1: their losses are the Cowboys, the Eagles, and again they

1192
01:02:45,680 --> 01:02:47,440
Speaker 1: could have won at home, and the Dolphins in the game,

1193
01:02:47,480 --> 01:02:49,840
Speaker 1: they could have won at home. So you know, they

1194
01:02:49,880 --> 01:02:51,640
Speaker 1: lost the three of the better teams in the NFL.

1195
01:02:52,480 --> 01:02:53,920
Speaker 1: I think this is probably the low point on the

1196
01:02:53,920 --> 01:02:56,040
Speaker 1: market on them, and it's just a huge coaching this

1197
01:02:56,200 --> 01:03:00,800
Speaker 1: match with a hurt quarterback like Belichick is. This is

1198
01:03:01,040 --> 01:03:04,439
Speaker 1: just like a Tomlin spot. Belichick after a loss over

1199
01:03:04,480 --> 01:03:07,320
Speaker 1: the past twenty seasons fifty three to twenty six and

1200
01:03:07,360 --> 01:03:10,680
Speaker 1: one against the spread sixty seven percent, by far the

1201
01:03:10,680 --> 01:03:13,800
Speaker 1: most profitable coach in NFL history in that scenario as

1202
01:03:13,840 --> 01:03:16,760
Speaker 1: an underdog or favorite of less than seven points after

1203
01:03:16,840 --> 01:03:20,240
Speaker 1: loss forty two and eleven against the spread eighty percent.

1204
01:03:20,600 --> 01:03:23,040
Speaker 1: Now you might say, yeah, Tom Brady, okay, without Tom

1205
01:03:23,080 --> 01:03:26,720
Speaker 1: Brady sixty percent against the spread with any other quarterback,

1206
01:03:26,760 --> 01:03:31,720
Speaker 1: you know, Cam Newton, Castle Zappie and Matt Jones. So

1207
01:03:32,720 --> 01:03:36,520
Speaker 1: I expect the Patriots to be fully focused here and

1208
01:03:36,840 --> 01:03:38,680
Speaker 1: this is their season, Like you got a one in

1209
01:03:38,760 --> 01:03:41,280
Speaker 1: four and yeah, I say, with that schedule, you're done

1210
01:03:41,600 --> 01:03:44,480
Speaker 1: and I just have to fade car He's not healthy

1211
01:03:44,560 --> 01:03:47,320
Speaker 1: right now. Can't just check it down to death in Foxboro?

1212
01:03:47,400 --> 01:03:48,040
Speaker 1: Win this game?

1213
01:03:48,960 --> 01:03:51,400
Speaker 2: To me, if Derek Carr bad shoulder, Dennis Allen, the

1214
01:03:51,400 --> 01:03:54,560
Speaker 2: Saints come in and beat the Patriots like I'm sorry,

1215
01:03:54,640 --> 01:03:57,800
Speaker 2: it's over. And I'm not one that like hates on

1216
01:03:57,840 --> 01:04:01,200
Speaker 2: Belichick that thinks it was like ninety ten and Brady Belichick.

1217
01:04:01,600 --> 01:04:05,280
Speaker 2: Anyone that watched that dynasty. Belichick was fucking dominating schematically,

1218
01:04:05,480 --> 01:04:09,080
Speaker 2: like defensively they were doing. He was elite, like he's

1219
01:04:09,200 --> 01:04:11,160
Speaker 2: one of the all time greats any sport. You could

1220
01:04:11,200 --> 01:04:13,320
Speaker 2: argue he's the greatest coach of all time. They lose

1221
01:04:13,360 --> 01:04:15,840
Speaker 2: this game like I'm sorry, Like it's probably just time

1222
01:04:15,880 --> 01:04:17,520
Speaker 2: at the end of the season to just go your

1223
01:04:17,560 --> 01:04:20,360
Speaker 2: separate way, like it's over in New England, welcome to sports.

1224
01:04:20,520 --> 01:04:22,560
Speaker 2: It's a I think.

1225
01:04:22,280 --> 01:04:24,440
Speaker 1: Nothing lasts forever. And if Bac Jones looks awful, you

1226
01:04:24,440 --> 01:04:25,840
Speaker 1: gotta ask serious questions.

1227
01:04:25,600 --> 01:04:26,800
Speaker 2: About they could lose anybody.

1228
01:04:27,080 --> 01:04:29,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, so you're doing it and the Saints.

1229
01:04:29,040 --> 01:04:30,880
Speaker 2: The one thing with the Saints right, their defense can't

1230
01:04:30,880 --> 01:04:35,120
Speaker 2: play well. So I hear you. You just it would

1231
01:04:35,120 --> 01:04:37,320
Speaker 2: make me nervous because I think there is probably a

1232
01:04:37,400 --> 01:04:40,080
Speaker 2: fifty to fifty shot that the pixie dust on everything

1233
01:04:40,160 --> 01:04:41,520
Speaker 2: is just done with Bill.

1234
01:04:41,560 --> 01:04:43,680
Speaker 1: Yes kind of No, it's definitely can start of mine.

1235
01:04:44,080 --> 01:04:47,560
Speaker 1: I don't have the trust My trust level bar is

1236
01:04:47,760 --> 01:04:51,360
Speaker 1: at the low ends, but it's not. But if a

1237
01:04:51,400 --> 01:04:53,400
Speaker 1: bad performance here, it could be drained.

1238
01:04:54,480 --> 01:04:57,240
Speaker 2: Okay, game of the day, one of the games easily

1239
01:04:57,360 --> 01:04:59,520
Speaker 2: of the year. I mean you could argue it's this

1240
01:04:59,720 --> 01:05:01,880
Speaker 2: and ufull of Miami at least going into the game

1241
01:05:02,040 --> 01:05:05,680
Speaker 2: is game of the year. Cowboys Niners? Who you like? Why?

1242
01:05:07,440 --> 01:05:07,800
Speaker 2: I don't.

1243
01:05:08,280 --> 01:05:09,960
Speaker 1: I don't have a strong opinion on who's gonna win

1244
01:05:10,000 --> 01:05:14,920
Speaker 1: the game, but I'm I'm taking the Cowboys in this matchup.

1245
01:05:15,200 --> 01:05:16,800
Speaker 1: These are two of the best teams in the NFC,

1246
01:05:18,200 --> 01:05:20,080
Speaker 1: no matter where these you know, if you can throw

1247
01:05:20,080 --> 01:05:22,440
Speaker 1: the Eagles in there, Eagles, Cowboys, forty nine ers, no

1248
01:05:22,480 --> 01:05:25,520
Speaker 1: matter where they play, and no matter what you know

1249
01:05:25,840 --> 01:05:28,480
Speaker 1: what combination, forty nine ers are Eagles, and you give

1250
01:05:28,520 --> 01:05:33,280
Speaker 1: me over a field goal, I'm taking it. And look,

1251
01:05:33,320 --> 01:05:35,720
Speaker 1: the Cowboys can get pressure, which you need to do

1252
01:05:35,720 --> 01:05:37,800
Speaker 1: against Purty. Now, party can handle it. Purty's not a

1253
01:05:37,840 --> 01:05:40,880
Speaker 1: Jimmy g He can handle the pressure. But you cannot

1254
01:05:40,960 --> 01:05:42,840
Speaker 1: let him sit back there. You have to but them.

1255
01:05:42,840 --> 01:05:44,120
Speaker 1: You have to get pressure, and you have to get

1256
01:05:44,120 --> 01:05:46,800
Speaker 1: home because his numbers when he's not blitzed and his

1257
01:05:46,880 --> 01:05:49,080
Speaker 1: numbers in a clean pocket because how well scheme that

1258
01:05:49,160 --> 01:05:53,240
Speaker 1: offenses are insane. Cowboys one of the few teams that

1259
01:05:53,320 --> 01:05:56,280
Speaker 1: can do that. They did that last year. Purty, you know,

1260
01:05:56,720 --> 01:05:59,320
Speaker 1: performed pretty admirably, but had his worst game as a pro.

1261
01:05:59,400 --> 01:06:01,760
Speaker 1: And that just speaks of the Dallas defense. They've really

1262
01:06:01,800 --> 01:06:04,600
Speaker 1: abused that right side of the forty nine ers offensive line.

1263
01:06:05,160 --> 01:06:06,920
Speaker 1: We're gonna learn a lot about the forty nunders offensive

1264
01:06:06,920 --> 01:06:09,000
Speaker 1: line here. I mean, look, they've looked great, they're in

1265
01:06:09,040 --> 01:06:11,320
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl discussion, they're one of the best teams

1266
01:06:11,320 --> 01:06:13,880
Speaker 1: in the league, but they haven't really been tested yet

1267
01:06:13,920 --> 01:06:16,680
Speaker 1: by a defense. I mean, they played the Cardinals and

1268
01:06:16,720 --> 01:06:20,600
Speaker 1: the Rams and the Giants, so we're gonna learn a

1269
01:06:20,600 --> 01:06:22,920
Speaker 1: lot about that offensive line. But I think the one

1270
01:06:23,000 --> 01:06:24,560
Speaker 1: question that I have with the forty nine ers team

1271
01:06:24,560 --> 01:06:28,160
Speaker 1: is the defense doesn't look as sharp. Now maybe it's just, hey,

1272
01:06:28,160 --> 01:06:30,960
Speaker 1: we're not playing anybody, but the run defense greades out

1273
01:06:31,000 --> 01:06:34,600
Speaker 1: bottom five and success r a epa per run allowed. Hollered,

1274
01:06:34,760 --> 01:06:36,720
Speaker 1: I think you can have a big day here, and

1275
01:06:36,760 --> 01:06:39,120
Speaker 1: when he gets going, that opens up the play action.

1276
01:06:39,600 --> 01:06:41,120
Speaker 1: You can take some shots, which you need to do

1277
01:06:41,120 --> 01:06:44,480
Speaker 1: against this forty nine Ers defense. And remember last year. Look,

1278
01:06:44,800 --> 01:06:46,480
Speaker 1: and the Cowboys should come out with their hair on

1279
01:06:46,520 --> 01:06:49,400
Speaker 1: fire here playing against a team that's eliminated from the postseason,

1280
01:06:49,800 --> 01:06:52,200
Speaker 1: need to the past two years. And both games are close,

1281
01:06:52,280 --> 01:06:55,280
Speaker 1: right like Dak doesn't they can't snap it one year.

1282
01:06:55,400 --> 01:06:57,120
Speaker 1: Last year they lose by seven, but that game is

1283
01:06:57,200 --> 01:06:59,640
Speaker 1: nine to nine going into the fourth quarter and the

1284
01:06:59,680 --> 01:07:02,680
Speaker 1: Cowboy lost Pollard and are handing it to you know,

1285
01:07:02,800 --> 01:07:04,840
Speaker 1: the corpse of Zeke who had that.

1286
01:07:05,040 --> 01:07:07,760
Speaker 2: That was a legit close playoff game. I mean that

1287
01:07:07,800 --> 01:07:10,120
Speaker 2: could have gone either way. The Cowboys showed up the

1288
01:07:10,160 --> 01:07:11,200
Speaker 2: defense ready to win.

1289
01:07:11,640 --> 01:07:13,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, and I took them last year. I lost

1290
01:07:13,800 --> 01:07:16,120
Speaker 1: that bat, but it was three and a half, so

1291
01:07:16,120 --> 01:07:19,640
Speaker 1: I'm happy to do that again here. My prediction on

1292
01:07:19,680 --> 01:07:21,680
Speaker 1: this game is this is going to be close, and

1293
01:07:21,720 --> 01:07:25,360
Speaker 1: I can't wait for it. And if you've given me

1294
01:07:25,440 --> 01:07:28,880
Speaker 1: over a field goal, which you are now, I'm taking it.

1295
01:07:28,920 --> 01:07:32,120
Speaker 1: So yeah, I'm going to take the Cowboys plus three

1296
01:07:32,120 --> 01:07:35,240
Speaker 1: and a half. Maybe chop around maybe and get a four,

1297
01:07:35,280 --> 01:07:36,960
Speaker 1: but anything over a field goal is fine. Here. I

1298
01:07:36,960 --> 01:07:40,320
Speaker 1: think this is close and great throughout and I can't

1299
01:07:40,320 --> 01:07:41,000
Speaker 1: wait to watch it.

1300
01:07:41,600 --> 01:07:44,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, Charvarius Ward obviously the forty nine ers, best corner,

1301
01:07:44,960 --> 01:07:47,720
Speaker 2: you know, one of the better corners definitely in the NFC.

1302
01:07:48,320 --> 01:07:51,800
Speaker 2: Banged up, healed now he misses some practice and usually plays,

1303
01:07:52,120 --> 01:07:53,640
Speaker 2: but that's something to keep an eye on because they

1304
01:07:53,640 --> 01:07:55,920
Speaker 2: need him, you know, against Ceedee Lamb. And you're right,

1305
01:07:56,000 --> 01:07:58,840
Speaker 2: I mean, I would say Nick Bosa has not exactly

1306
01:07:58,880 --> 01:08:01,600
Speaker 2: looked like Micah Parsons or TJ Watt through the beginning

1307
01:08:01,640 --> 01:08:03,280
Speaker 2: portion of the season, which makes sense. I mean he

1308
01:08:03,320 --> 01:08:07,280
Speaker 2: showed up September first or whatever. Now the guy that

1309
01:08:07,400 --> 01:08:11,360
Speaker 2: has is hard Grave, so it's and Ken Law's been

1310
01:08:11,400 --> 01:08:14,680
Speaker 2: better their defense. To me, the Cowboys when you really

1311
01:08:14,680 --> 01:08:18,280
Speaker 2: look at their four games when they've got to front run,

1312
01:08:18,640 --> 01:08:21,080
Speaker 2: like when they're like Tiger Woods winning by ten, they're

1313
01:08:21,080 --> 01:08:23,600
Speaker 2: gonna blow away the field and it's just snowballs and

1314
01:08:23,640 --> 01:08:25,559
Speaker 2: you watch it, you're like, fuck, they're gonna win this

1315
01:08:25,560 --> 01:08:28,960
Speaker 2: game by forty and they're point differential's outrageous because defensive score

1316
01:08:29,000 --> 01:08:31,599
Speaker 2: and they're doing two point plays. I mean, they're clowning Belichick.

1317
01:08:31,880 --> 01:08:32,400
Speaker 2: They got no.

1318
01:08:33,160 --> 01:08:37,320
Speaker 1: Once they know you're gonna throw that, you're done. Yeah, exactly, impress.

1319
01:08:37,040 --> 01:08:40,000
Speaker 2: And that's the thing with Kyle. Kyle. The score could

1320
01:08:40,000 --> 01:08:42,200
Speaker 2: be fourteen to nothing. He'll still hammer the like he's

1321
01:08:42,400 --> 01:08:44,680
Speaker 2: he's one of the rare coaches that's much more of

1322
01:08:44,680 --> 01:08:47,400
Speaker 2: a throwback like his dad in that era, that will

1323
01:08:47,479 --> 01:08:49,519
Speaker 2: just stick to a game plan, that won't freak out,

1324
01:08:49,640 --> 01:08:52,360
Speaker 2: especially now that he trusts the quarterback. But to me,

1325
01:08:53,160 --> 01:08:56,160
Speaker 2: like it'll be interesting because more than likely it's just

1326
01:08:56,200 --> 01:08:58,360
Speaker 2: gonna be a close game. Like you said, let's just

1327
01:08:58,360 --> 01:09:01,320
Speaker 2: say it's you know, twelve twelve or something at halftime,

1328
01:09:01,400 --> 01:09:04,040
Speaker 2: like the Cowboys have it like figured out how to

1329
01:09:04,240 --> 01:09:06,479
Speaker 2: That's to me that's the difference between them and the

1330
01:09:06,479 --> 01:09:08,839
Speaker 2: Eagles and the Niners. Like the Eagles and the Niners

1331
01:09:08,840 --> 01:09:10,479
Speaker 2: can fucking meet you in the mud and play an

1332
01:09:10,520 --> 01:09:12,320
Speaker 2: ugly ass game and figure out a way to win.

1333
01:09:12,439 --> 01:09:15,879
Speaker 2: Like both those two teams, they could easily beat anyone

1334
01:09:15,920 --> 01:09:18,040
Speaker 2: on the road. Sometimes with Dallas, you go, god it

1335
01:09:18,080 --> 01:09:20,280
Speaker 2: do you have the grittiness And that's always kind of

1336
01:09:20,280 --> 01:09:24,000
Speaker 2: been a McCarthy knock right some of those Rogers teams. Obviously,

1337
01:09:24,120 --> 01:09:26,760
Speaker 2: Rodgers is much better than Dak and this defense is

1338
01:09:26,760 --> 01:09:30,200
Speaker 2: better than the overwhelming majority of any of those Packers defenses.

1339
01:09:30,400 --> 01:09:32,599
Speaker 2: But it's like a mindset from the coach. Like one

1340
01:09:32,600 --> 01:09:36,000
Speaker 2: thing with Kyle Shanahan and all the guys that they've accumulated.

1341
01:09:36,040 --> 01:09:39,519
Speaker 2: They're just kind of like war daddies, you know, Debo

1342
01:09:39,880 --> 01:09:42,400
Speaker 2: play in the parking lot. And the Eagles, you know,

1343
01:09:42,439 --> 01:09:45,040
Speaker 2: they have a lot of guys like that, Kelsey Lane, Johnson,

1344
01:09:45,120 --> 01:09:48,240
Speaker 2: Fletcher Cox, you know, the Cowboys in theory you think

1345
01:09:48,280 --> 01:09:52,160
Speaker 2: would but sometimes for whatever reason. And this this is

1346
01:09:52,200 --> 01:09:54,200
Speaker 2: a huge game for them, right, Like you said, the

1347
01:09:54,280 --> 01:09:56,160
Speaker 2: Niners have beat him twice in a row in the playoffs.

1348
01:09:56,320 --> 01:09:59,360
Speaker 2: Everyone views the Niners as better. They're admitting it. Jerry's like,

1349
01:09:59,360 --> 01:10:01,599
Speaker 2: this is a super Bowl team. They win this game,

1350
01:10:02,760 --> 01:10:04,599
Speaker 2: I think it would be like their biggest win less

1351
01:10:04,720 --> 01:10:06,960
Speaker 2: couple of years since they've been good, right, beat McCarthy's

1352
01:10:06,960 --> 01:10:08,320
Speaker 2: biggest win as a Cowboy head coach.

1353
01:10:08,600 --> 01:10:10,840
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, and the forty nine ers they lose this

1354
01:10:10,920 --> 01:10:13,920
Speaker 1: game there, you just say, okay, whatever, Yeah, yeah, it'll

1355
01:10:13,920 --> 01:10:16,880
Speaker 1: be fine and we'll beat you in the playoffs. So yeah,

1356
01:10:16,880 --> 01:10:20,000
Speaker 1: I think that you're gonna get early on if you're

1357
01:10:20,040 --> 01:10:21,719
Speaker 1: gonna get the Cowboys best effort here.

1358
01:10:23,120 --> 01:10:25,280
Speaker 2: So I think you gotta have some trick plays. You gotta,

1359
01:10:25,439 --> 01:10:27,080
Speaker 2: you know, go forward on some specially you.

1360
01:10:27,080 --> 01:10:29,120
Speaker 1: Got to bring you got to bring the kitchen sink

1361
01:10:29,160 --> 01:10:29,559
Speaker 1: out here.

1362
01:10:30,320 --> 01:10:32,040
Speaker 2: If I if I'm the Cowboys, I treat this like

1363
01:10:32,080 --> 01:10:33,679
Speaker 2: it was the NFC Championship or whatever.

1364
01:10:33,720 --> 01:10:36,240
Speaker 1: And yeah, because you need it mentally, right, you need

1365
01:10:36,280 --> 01:10:39,479
Speaker 1: this game. They need this game for their psyche if

1366
01:10:39,520 --> 01:10:42,240
Speaker 1: they face the forty nine ers, like can they get

1367
01:10:42,400 --> 01:10:44,200
Speaker 1: can they beat the forty niners in the playoffs? You

1368
01:10:44,360 --> 01:10:48,000
Speaker 1: lose again here, Yeah, I agree. I would throw everything

1369
01:10:48,040 --> 01:10:51,160
Speaker 1: out here to win this game, you know. And then

1370
01:10:51,200 --> 01:10:53,200
Speaker 1: also it could bean you get it. I don't think

1371
01:10:53,200 --> 01:10:54,640
Speaker 1: the forty nine ers would care if they have to

1372
01:10:54,720 --> 01:10:58,200
Speaker 1: go on the road, but you could. This game could

1373
01:10:58,240 --> 01:10:59,880
Speaker 1: also decide Hope Field.

1374
01:11:01,040 --> 01:11:03,200
Speaker 2: So yeah, that's why losing that, that's why losing that

1375
01:11:03,240 --> 01:11:05,519
Speaker 2: Arizona game kind of fucks Dallas all. It puts more

1376
01:11:05,560 --> 01:11:07,320
Speaker 2: pressure on this because all of a sudden, you lose

1377
01:11:07,360 --> 01:11:09,840
Speaker 2: this game, you know, you're just you feel like you're

1378
01:11:09,880 --> 01:11:13,439
Speaker 2: a lock to be the five seed, which in theory,

1379
01:11:13,680 --> 01:11:15,560
Speaker 2: like there are some years where it shouldn't be the

1380
01:11:15,680 --> 01:11:17,640
Speaker 2: end of the world. But when you've got to have

1381
01:11:17,760 --> 01:11:20,519
Speaker 2: to go to Philly and go to San Francisco more unlikely,

1382
01:11:20,640 --> 01:11:23,320
Speaker 2: like that's that's a problem. So this is I don't

1383
01:11:23,320 --> 01:11:25,240
Speaker 2: want to say must win it's early October, but this

1384
01:11:25,439 --> 01:11:28,200
Speaker 2: because they lost to Arizona. I think this game is

1385
01:11:28,280 --> 01:11:30,920
Speaker 2: dramatically bigger. I mean that that game looms large for

1386
01:11:31,000 --> 01:11:33,640
Speaker 2: them to me as the season goes on, assuming you know,

1387
01:11:33,720 --> 01:11:36,439
Speaker 2: the Eagles and Niners don't do something similar. I mean,

1388
01:11:36,479 --> 01:11:38,080
Speaker 2: look at the Niners. They just players on and they

1389
01:11:38,120 --> 01:11:40,920
Speaker 2: beat them by They actually shouldn't have covered the spread.

1390
01:11:41,240 --> 01:11:43,640
Speaker 2: Were you watching that game? They dropped two touchdown.

1391
01:11:43,880 --> 01:11:46,439
Speaker 1: Touch sounds at the end. Yeah, that was crazy. I

1392
01:11:46,920 --> 01:11:49,160
Speaker 1: just think my prediction is decided by a field goal.

1393
01:11:49,400 --> 01:11:51,599
Speaker 2: Yeah, if it's forty nine Ers field goal kicker, he's

1394
01:11:51,600 --> 01:11:53,519
Speaker 2: a rookie. You never know. So I missed couple in

1395
01:11:53,560 --> 01:11:56,400
Speaker 2: the preseason, but been pretty nails. Uh So you're going

1396
01:11:56,400 --> 01:12:00,280
Speaker 2: Pats money line Steelers and uh hammering the cow voice

1397
01:12:02,040 --> 01:12:05,360
Speaker 2: and I'm hammering Lions minus ten, Go Detroit. I'm not seated,

1398
01:12:05,400 --> 01:12:07,240
Speaker 2: Katies baby, Okay, Stucky, talk to you soon.

1399
01:12:07,840 --> 01:12:12,120
Speaker 1: Absolutely over your lines and good luck. The volume
