Greg, Welcome to the show, bro. 30 00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:25,120 Speaker 2: I've been waiting for this day since your tweet the 31 00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:27,559 Speaker 2: other day. So I'm ready. I'm ready to battle. 32 00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:28,680 Speaker 3: What was your tweet the other day? 33 00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:33,440 Speaker 1: So? Greg was breaking down the fish just keep it 34 00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:38,320 Speaker 1: instead of I sided with JJ Watt. JJ Watt was 35 00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:40,760 Speaker 1: got in the comments. Greg was breaking down why you 36 00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:43,960 Speaker 1: go for two when you're the Philadelphia Eagles down nine 37 00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:46,200 Speaker 1: with like three and some change or four minutes left 38 00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:48,840 Speaker 1: on the clock. Greg was battle and he was out 39 00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:51,680 Speaker 1: on the front Line's John snow anybody who was ready 40 00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:54,280 Speaker 1: for war. He was ready to take the analytical war 41 00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:57,520 Speaker 1: to everybody the modern day football game that's being played. 42 00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:01,320 Speaker 1: And JJ chimes in under one of his tweets saying 43 00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:05,720 Speaker 1: that he completely understands GREG from an analytics standpoint, but 44 00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:09,800 Speaker 1: from basically like a human psychology, the momentum and unquantifiable 45 00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:12,040 Speaker 1: thing in football. As players, when you're on the sideline, 46 00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:13,919 Speaker 1: you don't get the two point conversion, and then you're 47 00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:16,760 Speaker 1: just deflated, thinking, well, this pretty much isn't gonna happen. 48 00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:18,720 Speaker 1: Versus if you kick the field goal and you're down 49 00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:24,000 Speaker 1: eight points. In your mind, we're down one possession. We're 50 00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:26,640 Speaker 1: down one possession. Defense, we get the ball back three 51 00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:28,320 Speaker 1: and out. We got to get our offense the ball back. 52 00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:31,359 Speaker 1: We can go down and tie this football game by 53 00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:34,639 Speaker 1: getting a two point conversion. JJ was basically saying that 54 00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:37,320 Speaker 1: I go up under JJ, like, JJ, welcome to the 55 00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:40,359 Speaker 1: war against analytics. And here's a guy that they all 56 00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:42,360 Speaker 1: love to read that is essentially their bible. And it 57 00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:44,919 Speaker 1: was a meme of you know, like this, this this 58 00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:47,120 Speaker 1: male laying on the bed looking kind of you know, 59 00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:48,960 Speaker 1: kind of looking at it, you kind of look at us, 60 00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:53,480 Speaker 1: and it was a guide to anal and then I 61 00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:56,760 Speaker 1: dashed it with lytics, so analytics, and that was you know, 62 00:02:56,840 --> 00:02:58,480 Speaker 1: I was just getting in. I was getting in the 63 00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:01,280 Speaker 1: troll game with Greg JJ just kind of sitting back 64 00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:04,120 Speaker 1: like a whole Greg because every week he comes on 65 00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:05,440 Speaker 1: breaking down a new situation. 66 00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:07,000 Speaker 3: So great, did you respond to this? 67 00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:07,400 Speaker 4: No? 68 00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:08,840 Speaker 2: I went today is my response? 69 00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:11,240 Speaker 3: Okay, good, so you let it say you let it simmer. 70 00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:13,440 Speaker 2: I'm sure you let it simmer. I felt like it 71 00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:15,800 Speaker 2: for him. Yeah, this is a better forum than he 72 00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:16,639 Speaker 2: argued more. 73 00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:20,280 Speaker 1: With the Emmanuel on Twitter. Seems waiting waiting for this 74 00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:21,440 Speaker 1: show to argue. 75 00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:24,760 Speaker 2: Watcho. He piggybacked on it too, and gave his whole 76 00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:28,640 Speaker 2: take about momentum and feelings and confidence and all the 77 00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:32,280 Speaker 2: nonsense that we all get thrown down our face for 78 00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:35,400 Speaker 2: the last twenty years in football, which actually means jack Ship. 79 00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:38,040 Speaker 1: Hold on now, easy. 80 00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:41,680 Speaker 3: If you're in a game and your defense is playing 81 00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:43,480 Speaker 3: good or bad? Does that is that the right? 82 00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:47,880 Speaker 2: At this for a minute, Let's about a minute. So 83 00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:51,160 Speaker 2: let's just take that Friday's game, because that was the 84 00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:56,000 Speaker 2: game that obviously spurred all of this. Just this sequence 85 00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:58,400 Speaker 2: of events. You tell me when the momentum was in 86 00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:02,200 Speaker 2: whose favor? Okay? They go on a twelfth play eighty 87 00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:08,000 Speaker 2: yard drive with three and change left, twelve plays eighty 88 00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:11,360 Speaker 2: yards for anyone to watch that game. That offense was 89 00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:15,880 Speaker 2: very hot and cold, up and down. They find their 90 00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:18,559 Speaker 2: rhythm and they go on a twelve play eighty yard drive. 91 00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:20,640 Speaker 2: Who had the momentum? 92 00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:21,880 Speaker 1: Eagles? 93 00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:24,279 Speaker 2: They went for two and what happened? 94 00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:25,720 Speaker 1: They did not get it? 95 00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:29,279 Speaker 2: So who had the momentum? Tell me why the momentum ended? 96 00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:33,440 Speaker 2: I've been told the defense is reeling. You just had 97 00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:36,960 Speaker 2: a great drive. The defense is tired, the defense is confused, 98 00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:39,720 Speaker 2: the defense is on their heels, all the things that 99 00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:42,520 Speaker 2: people tell us why they fail. 100 00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:47,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, I get what you're saying. 101 00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:49,480 Speaker 2: But if they it's a very simple. 102 00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:53,880 Speaker 3: Well, what's the simple A twelve play eighty yard drive 103 00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:57,400 Speaker 3: and your methodical you're bad, then you have a good 104 00:04:57,520 --> 00:04:59,400 Speaker 3: And it's kind of going back and forth. A lot 105 00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:02,000 Speaker 3: is a lot of argument to be like, hey, this 106 00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:03,920 Speaker 3: defense has been on the field for a very long time. 107 00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:06,160 Speaker 3: Anytime you can get a defense tired, now's your time 108 00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:08,520 Speaker 3: to strike. So why not go for two in the 109 00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:10,159 Speaker 3: situation when you. 110 00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:11,360 Speaker 1: Want you don't get the two? 111 00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:12,120 Speaker 2: Now? 112 00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:16,800 Speaker 1: All low? Now it goes back to basically, your chance 113 00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:19,360 Speaker 1: of winning is now, you know, as close to zero 114 00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:20,040 Speaker 1: as possible. 115 00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:26,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, but you guys, but if you kick point, 116 00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:29,440 Speaker 2: it becomes nine, but you're forgetting the point that the 117 00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:33,240 Speaker 2: idea was it could be seven. Right, So everyone talks about, 118 00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:35,240 Speaker 2: oh my god, you made your team down nine. Nick 119 00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:37,400 Speaker 2: Sirianni didn't look at the clock and say, you know, 120 00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:40,960 Speaker 2: three minutes, I want to be down nine. He looked 121 00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:43,480 Speaker 2: at the clock and said I want to be down seven. 122 00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:46,359 Speaker 2: So everyone leaves that part of the equation out, and 123 00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:48,720 Speaker 2: then all of a sudden we flip it and we go, well, 124 00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:50,760 Speaker 2: if you were down eight, if you kick the extra 125 00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:53,279 Speaker 2: point to be down eight, and you do get the 126 00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:57,120 Speaker 2: ball back because your defense is so motivated, then it's 127 00:05:57,160 --> 00:05:59,640 Speaker 2: a foregone conclusion that it's a one score game, even 128 00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:03,279 Speaker 2: though we just saw a team three minutes ago try 129 00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:05,919 Speaker 2: to score eight points in one possession and didn't get it. 130 00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:08,440 Speaker 2: So when you do it first, the assumption is you're 131 00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:10,719 Speaker 2: gonna fail and it's gonna be nine. But when you 132 00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:13,159 Speaker 2: do it last, the assumption is you're gonna get eight 133 00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:17,080 Speaker 2: and make it zero. It's just it's just nonsense. 134 00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:19,680 Speaker 1: I yeah, I understand it's like, but I could be 135 00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:22,280 Speaker 1: down seven. However, if I'm if I were to ask you, 136 00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:25,039 Speaker 1: if there's three and some change, three minutes left on 137 00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:27,799 Speaker 1: the clock. Would you rather be down eight or down nine? 138 00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:29,000 Speaker 1: If you're about to be. 139 00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:30,920 Speaker 2: On that That's not the question I'd be I'd rather 140 00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:33,360 Speaker 2: be down seven. The question you have to ask yourself. 141 00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:36,400 Speaker 2: This was my Twitter messages for the last four days. 142 00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:38,520 Speaker 2: The question is not would you rather be down nine 143 00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:41,239 Speaker 2: or eight? The question is would you rather be down 144 00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:45,200 Speaker 2: nine with the hope of being down seven? Or would 145 00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:48,400 Speaker 2: you rather be down two with twenty five seconds left? 146 00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:50,800 Speaker 2: If let's just give those two scenarios, would you rather 147 00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:54,360 Speaker 2: be down nine with three twenty or down two with 148 00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:57,839 Speaker 2: twenty seconds left? Both cases you're kicking off. What's better? 149 00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:01,840 Speaker 1: Are you saying in this scenario down to Bay. 150 00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:03,680 Speaker 2: Because I waited to kick the they waited to go 151 00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:05,880 Speaker 2: for two. That's what everyone's telling me is the better option, 152 00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:08,120 Speaker 2: And everyone always wants to say, oh my god, with 153 00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:10,240 Speaker 2: three minutes, would you rather be down eight or nine? 154 00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:13,040 Speaker 2: That's not the question. That's apples and oranges. 155 00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:15,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, but you have the opportunity rather be. 156 00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:19,160 Speaker 2: Down nine failed two point with three and a half 157 00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:22,120 Speaker 2: minutes kicking off? Or would you rather be down two 158 00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:27,400 Speaker 2: with under thirty seconds left, if not less kicking off 159 00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:27,960 Speaker 2: down two? 160 00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:31,480 Speaker 3: Which would you rather, so I feel like just because 161 00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:32,840 Speaker 3: I didn't watch this game. 162 00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:35,480 Speaker 2: No, but what would you rather be? That's the in that. 163 00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:38,120 Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, if you're down two with thirty seconds left 164 00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:40,560 Speaker 1: versus down nine kicking the ball off with three minutes, 165 00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:42,040 Speaker 1: I'd rather be down nine with. 166 00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:46,640 Speaker 2: That's why you go for two first. That is the 167 00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:49,440 Speaker 2: simplest phrase right there. That's why you do it. 168 00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:51,920 Speaker 3: But hold on. When we were talking about the Colts 169 00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:55,440 Speaker 3: and the Chiefs game, we are talking about, you know, 170 00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:58,920 Speaker 3: field position and win to strike and basically you want 171 00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:01,600 Speaker 3: to end the game in six minutes with a win. 172 00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:04,480 Speaker 3: And if you're in a position if you're so, mindus 173 00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:07,200 Speaker 3: saying is this the Eagles score touchdown there to go 174 00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:10,520 Speaker 3: there down nine, and so they could a pat they're 175 00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:13,040 Speaker 3: down eight and they go for two to be down seven? 176 00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:14,200 Speaker 3: Am I following this correctly? 177 00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:15,280 Speaker 2: Correct? 178 00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:18,120 Speaker 3: Okay? How much time is on the clock when they 179 00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:19,560 Speaker 3: have the opportunity to go for two? 180 00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:21,840 Speaker 2: Three, twenty three, ten, something like that. 181 00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:24,760 Speaker 3: If I'm the coach there, I'm kicking. I'm kicking the 182 00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:28,000 Speaker 3: pat because your thought process is your do you have 183 00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:30,200 Speaker 3: one of the best defenses in the NFL. If you 184 00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:32,520 Speaker 3: have the ball last, then you worry about going for 185 00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:35,120 Speaker 3: two later. By going for two and not getting two, 186 00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:37,800 Speaker 3: you're eventually you're eventually saying the game is going to 187 00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:40,920 Speaker 3: be decided right now, and by not getting it, you're right. 188 00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:45,160 Speaker 2: But explain to me the difference. So again, but this 189 00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:46,800 Speaker 2: is the part that I just have a hard time 190 00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:51,200 Speaker 2: getting people to understand. Everyone says, oh, once you didn't 191 00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:53,360 Speaker 2: get it, the game was over. The final three minutes 192 00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:56,360 Speaker 2: don't matter. If you play the next three minutes down 193 00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:59,360 Speaker 2: eight and you get the ball and you fail the 194 00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:03,960 Speaker 2: two point, the same two point play odds they're less 195 00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:07,400 Speaker 2: than fifty percent, so you're gonna fail more than you succeed, 196 00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:12,320 Speaker 2: right the find the game's over either way. Find the 197 00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:15,200 Speaker 2: previous three minutes when you were so motivated and felt 198 00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:18,880 Speaker 2: so optimistic. They meant nothing because you ended up failing 199 00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:20,440 Speaker 2: the two point anyway. 200 00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:22,719 Speaker 1: But the difference, the difference is you don't know you're 201 00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:24,400 Speaker 1: gonna fail when you're going for that two point conversion. 202 00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:25,679 Speaker 2: When did you guys play blackjack? 203 00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:27,080 Speaker 3: Yeah once in a while. 204 00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:32,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, I know the answer to When you when you 205 00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:36,800 Speaker 2: have a sixteen versus a dealer's ten, what do you 206 00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:37,280 Speaker 2: do well? 207 00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:39,040 Speaker 3: The book says, the surrender but I. 208 00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:40,679 Speaker 2: Hit, you hit? 209 00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:41,240 Speaker 1: Do you? 210 00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:45,840 Speaker 2: Some people stay Yeah, and it kind of as someone 211 00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:47,400 Speaker 2: who tries to play by the book, you look at 212 00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:50,080 Speaker 2: them like, why would you do that? Why are they 213 00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:50,600 Speaker 2: doing it? 214 00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:53,319 Speaker 3: Well, there's no book. This is there are two completely 215 00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:56,800 Speaker 3: different games because in a hand of blackjack, it's you 216 00:09:56,840 --> 00:09:59,000 Speaker 3: put your money down, the cards are the cards, you 217 00:09:59,080 --> 00:09:59,800 Speaker 3: win and you lose. 218 00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:02,679 Speaker 2: Now I'm talking about the psychology of why do people 219 00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:04,000 Speaker 2: stay on sixteen. 220 00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:07,319 Speaker 3: Because their hope is that there is a six or 221 00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:09,040 Speaker 3: under that face card. 222 00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:11,360 Speaker 2: The hope is to delay the loss. 223 00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:11,640 Speaker 5: Right. 224 00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:15,880 Speaker 2: They mentally feel like, I'm gonna stay in the game longer, 225 00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:21,199 Speaker 2: and but my odds don't improve, they actually go down. 226 00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:26,680 Speaker 2: But the psychology is I'm not gonna bust. I'm gonna 227 00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:29,960 Speaker 2: make the dealer flip his second card over and continue 228 00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:33,720 Speaker 2: to deal out in the hopes of it just bouncing 229 00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:36,760 Speaker 2: my way and getting in essence, lucky. It's the exact 230 00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:40,240 Speaker 2: same thing. We have a human condition where we want 231 00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:40,960 Speaker 2: to delay. 232 00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:42,120 Speaker 3: I want to feel safe. 233 00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:47,600 Speaker 2: But it's it's insane. It doesn't make any. 234 00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:50,160 Speaker 1: There's zero motion in cards. 235 00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:52,760 Speaker 2: I think there's all I played last night. I'm in 236 00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:53,600 Speaker 2: Vegas right now. 237 00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:57,439 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, in you but I'm saying in the cards, 238 00:10:57,440 --> 00:10:59,760 Speaker 1: Like in the cards, there's nothing. Those cards are dead. 239 00:10:59,840 --> 00:11:02,719 Speaker 1: Like it's all analytics, it's all odds. It's all you 240 00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:06,360 Speaker 1: know for you when you got the juice of all 241 00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:09,240 Speaker 1: the players, like it could still we will never be 242 00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:11,560 Speaker 1: in the world where'll be able to take a two 243 00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:13,840 Speaker 1: point play that happens early and then compared to if 244 00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:15,480 Speaker 1: they would have ran that same two point play at 245 00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:17,040 Speaker 1: the end of the game, like, we'll never be able 246 00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:18,719 Speaker 1: to reenact. 247 00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:20,479 Speaker 2: Is more likely to succeed. 248 00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:23,480 Speaker 1: I saw the grass, but it's only we're talking like 249 00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:25,400 Speaker 1: a percentage point or two. 250 00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:28,160 Speaker 2: But that's all we're trying to do. The entire game 251 00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:31,559 Speaker 2: is game percentage points, and NFL games a percentage point 252 00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:35,960 Speaker 2: here or there throughout the course of one hundred and 253 00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:39,440 Speaker 2: fifty plays. That's what every coach is doing. That's why 254 00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:41,480 Speaker 2: people go for fourth downs, that's why people go for 255 00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:44,200 Speaker 2: goal to goes. The entire game of the NFL right 256 00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:47,000 Speaker 2: now is to is to gobble up as many little 257 00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:50,880 Speaker 2: incremental advantages as humanly possible and hopes when they all 258 00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:52,960 Speaker 2: add up to each other, it tips the scales in 259 00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:55,680 Speaker 2: your favor. That's what all these close games come down to. 260 00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:57,920 Speaker 2: That's all we're trying. We're not trying to gobble up 261 00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:01,720 Speaker 2: twenty five percent wind share. You're trying to gobble up 262 00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:05,000 Speaker 2: little bite sized pieces and do it multiple times and 263 00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:07,439 Speaker 2: flip the game into my favor it. 264 00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:11,120 Speaker 3: I don't know, it's just but listen, when when you 265 00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:13,319 Speaker 3: sit down with the coach before a game, they don't go, boys, 266 00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:15,520 Speaker 3: we're playing a hard fifty seven minutes here. Now you're 267 00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:17,320 Speaker 3: playing a hard sixty minutes. So if I'm a head 268 00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:20,720 Speaker 3: coach and I am down by nine points, I could 269 00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:23,160 Speaker 3: take the pat which makes it a one score game 270 00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:24,080 Speaker 3: with three thirty left. 271 00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:25,320 Speaker 2: It's not a one score game. 272 00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:25,560 Speaker 1: Though. 273 00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:26,640 Speaker 3: It is a one score game. 274 00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:28,640 Speaker 2: It's not a one score game. It's a I just 275 00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:30,880 Speaker 2: tried to they just tried to score eight points. 276 00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:33,520 Speaker 3: It's a one possession game. It's is that better? It's 277 00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:38,240 Speaker 3: not one possession is because now there is there's driving 278 00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:40,839 Speaker 3: motivation involved with your defense. Sing if we get to 279 00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:43,640 Speaker 3: go a ball back, we could win this last one 280 00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:44,679 Speaker 3: and we can't win. 281 00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:46,280 Speaker 2: You can maybe tie, just so. 282 00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:49,040 Speaker 3: We're clear, okay, just you can maybe tie tie. You 283 00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:51,199 Speaker 3: get the ball back, you get it, you score, then 284 00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:53,840 Speaker 3: you you win the game. But I'm saying, if you 285 00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:57,360 Speaker 3: have the opportunity to keep everybody in the game with 286 00:12:57,920 --> 00:13:01,319 Speaker 3: time on your side, how many timeouts at the Eagles. 287 00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:02,720 Speaker 2: Saf they had three timeouts. 288 00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:05,320 Speaker 3: They had three timeouts plus the two minute warning and 289 00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:07,960 Speaker 3: there's three thirty left in the clock. Versus a Bears 290 00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:10,240 Speaker 3: defense that you know, they've been very hot, but from 291 00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:12,880 Speaker 3: a series a series standpoint, they're hot and they're cold 292 00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:15,040 Speaker 3: our defense, Hey, we're gonna have you guys stand up, 293 00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:17,440 Speaker 3: Then you guys are gonna have with timeouts. You have 294 00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:20,600 Speaker 3: a minute forty five maybe with one time out left, 295 00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:24,360 Speaker 3: maybe no timeouts, to march down the field with weapons 296 00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:26,840 Speaker 3: on the perimeter that you haven't utilized correctly, get in 297 00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:28,640 Speaker 3: the field and score. Now there's they. 298 00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:30,400 Speaker 2: Just did that. They just went twelve yards. 299 00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:33,080 Speaker 5: They just went to play the ten. 300 00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:36,480 Speaker 3: Seconds in the game. You're down by two. Now you 301 00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:38,320 Speaker 3: go for it with ten seconds left and you're deciding 302 00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:38,600 Speaker 3: the game. 303 00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:39,760 Speaker 2: What happens if they failed. 304 00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:41,360 Speaker 3: If they failed, it's the same result as what we're 305 00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:42,079 Speaker 3: talking about right now. 306 00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:43,959 Speaker 2: But if they don't, well know, the difference is you're 307 00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:46,160 Speaker 2: on side kicking with ten seconds versus three and a 308 00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:46,800 Speaker 2: half minutes. 309 00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:51,280 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, But the differences. You're also down by 310 00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:52,600 Speaker 3: nine and you're on site kicking, and. 311 00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:55,160 Speaker 2: How what would you rather if you would rather start 312 00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:58,160 Speaker 2: a simulation. I just asked, Will if you had to 313 00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:01,040 Speaker 2: start a simulation, forget all that, forget how you got there. 314 00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:05,280 Speaker 2: I'm telling you you're kicking off down nine with three 315 00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:09,320 Speaker 2: and a half minutes or down two with ten seconds, 316 00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:12,880 Speaker 2: and you have to step into that game. Which scenario 317 00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:13,440 Speaker 2: are you picking? 318 00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:16,120 Speaker 3: Well, you're obviously going to take the three thirty, of. 319 00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:19,000 Speaker 2: Course you are, and that's why the scale tips to 320 00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:20,240 Speaker 2: that decision making. 321 00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:22,920 Speaker 1: But if we don't need this samulation in. 322 00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:26,160 Speaker 2: Both scenarios, you have to assume in both scenarios you're 323 00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:28,040 Speaker 2: going to fail the two point conversion. 324 00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:33,400 Speaker 3: I think there is a win to prolonging the decision 325 00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:35,520 Speaker 3: of the game, if especially if you're playing from behind, 326 00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:37,240 Speaker 3: if you go and you take seven. 327 00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:40,520 Speaker 2: But we know from thirty years of tracking is that 328 00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:41,760 Speaker 2: it's just not true. 329 00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:45,080 Speaker 3: But it's all you're saying, you're fifty to do two 330 00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:47,600 Speaker 3: point conversion. What's the percentage to do an onside kick? 331 00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:48,800 Speaker 3: Fourteen percent? 332 00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:50,480 Speaker 2: But I don't want to do an on side kick. 333 00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:53,360 Speaker 2: I'm not suggesting on sidekick. I'm suggesting that if I 334 00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:56,400 Speaker 2: get the game to seven, if you succeed on either 335 00:14:56,440 --> 00:14:59,600 Speaker 2: two point first or second, there is no on side kick. 336 00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:03,400 Speaker 2: The goal is not to try to introduce the on 337 00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:06,040 Speaker 2: side kick by going for two to go down seven. 338 00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:08,160 Speaker 2: You kick the ball in the out of the end 339 00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:10,680 Speaker 2: zone and you play defense. You're not on side kicking. 340 00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:14,320 Speaker 2: The on side kick is only activated by a failed 341 00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:17,880 Speaker 2: two point try. The question is how much time is 342 00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:22,080 Speaker 2: on the clock when you fail. That's the entire argument. 343 00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:25,880 Speaker 2: Do you want to be down nine? The first case 344 00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:28,400 Speaker 2: scenario is you fail. Of course, the goal is to 345 00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:30,920 Speaker 2: not fail, right, that's clear. 346 00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:33,040 Speaker 3: The argument seems to me is do you go for 347 00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:36,480 Speaker 3: two on your second to last drive or your last drives? 348 00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:37,760 Speaker 2: That's the entire argument. 349 00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:40,280 Speaker 3: That's okay, But you're saying go for two on side 350 00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:42,960 Speaker 3: you're putting time stamps on everything for me as a 351 00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:44,160 Speaker 3: coach based. 352 00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:46,200 Speaker 2: On No I'm putting time. I'm just saying the only 353 00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:48,640 Speaker 2: time you kick the on side kick, whether it's after 354 00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:52,120 Speaker 2: the first or second touchdown, is only upon a failed 355 00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:54,720 Speaker 2: two point play. The question is if you wait to 356 00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:57,600 Speaker 2: the second one, your on side kick, even the five 357 00:15:57,640 --> 00:16:01,440 Speaker 2: percent recovery rate, even if you get it, there's ten 358 00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:02,800 Speaker 2: seconds left, the game's over. 359 00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:05,240 Speaker 3: But if you just kick the pat on that last 360 00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:07,600 Speaker 3: drive of three thirty left and you're down by eight, 361 00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:10,480 Speaker 3: you're giving yourself a chance. With the game on the 362 00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:12,840 Speaker 3: line with ten seconds left, you. 363 00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:16,600 Speaker 1: Have three timeouts and you whether or not, all it 364 00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:19,200 Speaker 1: takes is one possession to get you that eight point right. 365 00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:22,720 Speaker 2: Well, it gives you. Okay, if we don't get any 366 00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:26,680 Speaker 2: on this call, I just want you guys to wrap 367 00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:29,040 Speaker 2: your heads around. The entire internet to wrap their heads around. 368 00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:32,480 Speaker 2: For a million years, we have been told that eight 369 00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:37,040 Speaker 2: point games are one score games, and they are fundamentally not. 370 00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:41,880 Speaker 2: They are one score games forty three percent of the time. 371 00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:44,240 Speaker 2: That is the league wide average this year of a 372 00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:47,720 Speaker 2: successful two point try forty three percent. So let's say 373 00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:50,120 Speaker 2: the best team in the league is forty eight percent. 374 00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:52,640 Speaker 2: Just for arguments, it's probably high, but let's just say 375 00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:56,680 Speaker 2: the team it's below fifty. Right print For the most part, 376 00:16:57,520 --> 00:17:01,080 Speaker 2: your odds of success are worse than your odds of failure. 377 00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:04,399 Speaker 2: So to sit here, So let me ask you this. 378 00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:09,560 Speaker 2: You're the offensive coordinator, You're down eight, and I give 379 00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:12,760 Speaker 2: you the ball with two minutes and ten seconds left, 380 00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:14,879 Speaker 2: So you can stop the clock one more time with 381 00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:18,280 Speaker 2: the two minute warning. That's the best case scenario. Philly 382 00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:23,160 Speaker 2: went out there, Run timeout, run timeout, run timeout, punt. 383 00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:24,919 Speaker 2: You got the ball on the plus side of the 384 00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:27,760 Speaker 2: two minute warning, on the minus thirty five, you're down eight. 385 00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:32,000 Speaker 2: Tell me how you handle that possession. Do you score fast? 386 00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:35,119 Speaker 2: Do you score slow? When are you trying to score? 387 00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:36,960 Speaker 2: And how quickly talk me through that? If you have 388 00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:37,720 Speaker 2: the ball down. 389 00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:40,680 Speaker 1: Eight, I'm scoring with one second left and then I'm 390 00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:42,360 Speaker 1: going for two and we're going to get the two 391 00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:43,440 Speaker 1: and we're going to go into ot. 392 00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:48,600 Speaker 2: So because you waited all of a sudden, your odds 393 00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:49,800 Speaker 2: of success go up. 394 00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:52,800 Speaker 1: Well, it comes down to that last final moment. Everybody 395 00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:53,720 Speaker 1: like this is then. 396 00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:55,840 Speaker 3: You get it about momentum too, You're. 397 00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:59,719 Speaker 1: Talking about hands on knees. Everybody just focused in, like 398 00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:02,919 Speaker 1: this is it. We get this play. We going on 399 00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:05,200 Speaker 1: ta now we're gonna take this team to deep water 400 00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:09,640 Speaker 1: in overtime because we just scored the final fifteen points 401 00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:12,120 Speaker 1: of this game and we got them right. 402 00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:14,440 Speaker 2: How you feel and I'll look at. 403 00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:18,360 Speaker 1: You, coach, g O kick this extra point. I'll get 404 00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:22,159 Speaker 1: you that eight points here in a gay So again 405 00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:22,919 Speaker 1: five years. 406 00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:28,879 Speaker 2: Over the last twenty five years, teams that have scored 407 00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:32,919 Speaker 2: two consecutive touchdowns in the fourth quarter. So I'm not 408 00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:35,320 Speaker 2: just talking like in the first quarter, meaningless, this so 409 00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:39,720 Speaker 2: called pressure moment when everyone's so excited and motivation takes 410 00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:43,200 Speaker 2: over and defenses are reeling and tired, all the nonsense 411 00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:46,800 Speaker 2: that we're told, Let's just assume that's the situation we're in. Okay, 412 00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:51,600 Speaker 2: in the last twenty five years of a team scoring 413 00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:57,080 Speaker 2: consecutive fourth quarter touchdowns and then attempting a two point try, 414 00:18:57,200 --> 00:19:03,040 Speaker 2: so this exact situation, the odds of converting that situation. 415 00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:04,600 Speaker 1: Go down. 416 00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:08,760 Speaker 2: So when the defense is at their worst and the 417 00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:12,639 Speaker 2: defense is reeling and they're tired, and I'm motivated and 418 00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:15,840 Speaker 2: the sideline is excited and all this stuff that everyone's 419 00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:20,480 Speaker 2: saying is just powering our victory over twenty five years, 420 00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:23,560 Speaker 2: the rate of success goes down. 421 00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:25,960 Speaker 1: What if I would have me and you were talking 422 00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:27,480 Speaker 1: you're my head coach, and I just look at you 423 00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:30,440 Speaker 1: and say, coach g O, I feel you. But in 424 00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:33,840 Speaker 1: the last twenty five years, as there been a gentleman 425 00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:35,919 Speaker 1: named Willie See with a headset on call and plays, 426 00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:40,960 Speaker 1: and it's like, are you and then I'm like, hey, coach, coach, go, 427 00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:43,520 Speaker 1: are you trying to quantify me with the metric right now? 428 00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:45,399 Speaker 1: Are we going to go and trying to win this 429 00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:47,800 Speaker 1: football game in ot. 430 00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:49,280 Speaker 2: No, Because if I'm the head coach and I'm doing 431 00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:52,440 Speaker 2: my job, we discussed all these scenarios in team meeting 432 00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:55,640 Speaker 2: for the last four months, and with second the situation 433 00:19:55,840 --> 00:19:59,240 Speaker 2: comes up. Every single guy on the sideline knows exactly 434 00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:01,320 Speaker 2: what we're going to do. Right There's no one sitting 435 00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:03,360 Speaker 2: there going why are we going for two? I don't 436 00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:05,080 Speaker 2: want to go for two? I want to kick. I 437 00:20:05,119 --> 00:20:06,960 Speaker 2: want to kick. You want to go for two? Why 438 00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:09,560 Speaker 2: are we doing this? And no one now if they're 439 00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:11,960 Speaker 2: doing that, the coach should be fired. But the best 440 00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:14,480 Speaker 2: coach is all of this is covered well in advance. 441 00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:17,960 Speaker 2: Everyone is very clear on what the strategy is and 442 00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:20,719 Speaker 2: not on game day in the heat of the moment. 443 00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:23,440 Speaker 2: That's how the best teams run their teams. 444 00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:27,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, no, look, I understand everything you're saying. I oh shit, 445 00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:30,600 Speaker 1: your quinin. I'm not quitting. Like I'm still like to me, 446 00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:33,600 Speaker 1: he asks a question, He's like, forget everything else, I 447 00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:35,639 Speaker 1: want to give you a two option simulation for me. 448 00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:37,760 Speaker 1: I'm just asking myself, do I want to be down 449 00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:39,800 Speaker 1: nine with three and change left? Or do I want 450 00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:41,359 Speaker 1: to be down eight with three and change left? 451 00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:44,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, And THEO can't say you want to be down 452 00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:48,040 Speaker 2: nine without leaving without the sure it's. 453 00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:50,360 Speaker 1: Like correct, correct, I would. 454 00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:51,760 Speaker 2: But everyone leaves that part out. 455 00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:56,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, yes, the okay, down down nine with the potential 456 00:20:56,880 --> 00:20:59,200 Speaker 1: to be down seven, or do we kick this extra 457 00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:00,679 Speaker 1: point and just be down on eight with three and 458 00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:03,760 Speaker 1: change left? Me like, it's like the data and all 459 00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:06,560 Speaker 1: the graphs you're posting and there's only the success rates 460 00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:09,720 Speaker 1: and everything else with the whether it's third down or getting. 461 00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:12,359 Speaker 2: In response to me being told that the defense is 462 00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:14,920 Speaker 2: all of a sudden just gonna quit down nine, which 463 00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:16,040 Speaker 2: is absurd. 464 00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:18,280 Speaker 1: Right, which I allowed data to let me know. Okay, well, 465 00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:20,480 Speaker 1: the momentum thing might not be as real as you 466 00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:22,960 Speaker 1: were thinking. But for me, it's like if we're off 467 00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:25,080 Speaker 1: just by a couple percentage points here, it's not like 468 00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:27,800 Speaker 1: it's it's end all, be all that this is. This 469 00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:31,399 Speaker 1: is not even a debate, not even an argument, like 470 00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:33,959 Speaker 1: and if we're going through that situation well in advance 471 00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:35,840 Speaker 1: as a head coach and we end up losing that 472 00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:38,680 Speaker 1: game and I have a tweet that comes out, just 473 00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:41,359 Speaker 1: be like I tried telling Coach g Oh, just don't 474 00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:44,520 Speaker 1: be surprised if there's a lot of backlash. 475 00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:47,560 Speaker 2: Well, that's the bottom line. So let's summarize this and 476 00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:52,560 Speaker 2: we can move on. The number one preventor of teams 477 00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:56,040 Speaker 2: making correct decisions that are actually in the favor of 478 00:21:56,119 --> 00:22:00,480 Speaker 2: their team is one hundred percent fear of the postgame 479 00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:05,320 Speaker 2: press conference. Yeah, it is a much easier world to 480 00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:09,680 Speaker 2: defend your point than mine because we've been conditioned for 481 00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:14,480 Speaker 2: thirty years about one score and emotion and momentum, and 482 00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:17,360 Speaker 2: we've just been beaten over the head with it for 483 00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:20,200 Speaker 2: thirty years. We had it done to us as players. 484 00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:22,840 Speaker 2: We're going to stop the run, We're going to run 485 00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:29,160 Speaker 2: the ball. We it's like brainwash, right, It's like it's. 486 00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:29,680 Speaker 1: It's a poison. 487 00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:34,080 Speaker 2: It's the way we've been taught for forty years. It's 488 00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:38,040 Speaker 2: very hard to shift that to what the top teams 489 00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:40,600 Speaker 2: are doing, which is managing the game with these factors 490 00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:43,879 Speaker 2: being decision making points. So to stand there at the 491 00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:46,200 Speaker 2: end of the podium after I failed a two point 492 00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:49,639 Speaker 2: play with seven seconds left, as opposed to failing the 493 00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:52,480 Speaker 2: two point play with three and a half minutes. Even 494 00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:57,520 Speaker 2: though we know that albeit small improvement, my win percentage 495 00:22:57,560 --> 00:23:00,600 Speaker 2: and opportunity to win is actually greater doing with Sirianni 496 00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:05,040 Speaker 2: did the postgame press conference if he fails with ten 497 00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:07,560 Speaker 2: seconds left, and they go, man, we gave it our 498 00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:11,360 Speaker 2: best shot. The messages, our guys really competed hard, We 499 00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:14,359 Speaker 2: really bought into the end. We strive on fighting. We 500 00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:19,160 Speaker 2: never gave up all this arbitrary nonsense, and they go, yeah, 501 00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:22,000 Speaker 2: the players have to be better. The players didn't execute 502 00:23:22,040 --> 00:23:23,200 Speaker 2: a coach, You were great. 503 00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:27,320 Speaker 1: I'll tell you that. That's a very fascinating angle. I've 504 00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:28,080 Speaker 1: never thought of it like that. 505 00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:30,679 Speaker 2: It's the only angle. You think it's not hard for 506 00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:32,919 Speaker 2: Dan Campbell to stand up there in the press conference 507 00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:34,720 Speaker 2: when he goes zero for three on fourth down to 508 00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:38,760 Speaker 2: lose a playoff game. Of course it is, and most 509 00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:41,600 Speaker 2: coaches are not as strong as Dan Campbell just stand 510 00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:44,800 Speaker 2: up there and go it breats my guts out. I 511 00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:47,320 Speaker 2: hate it for our players, but if it happened again tomorrow, 512 00:23:47,359 --> 00:23:49,439 Speaker 2: I would do it again because I know in my 513 00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:51,840 Speaker 2: heart this is the best way to win. 514 00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:56,800 Speaker 3: Analytics, you know what just happened. You just got money balled. 515 00:23:57,680 --> 00:24:00,280 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, Brad pat I like I knew while I 516 00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:04,800 Speaker 1: was walking into this dungeon of Greg Olsen, I knew 517 00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:06,720 Speaker 1: he was going to lay it out perfectly for me. 518 00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:07,359 Speaker 3: Yeah. 519 00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:09,000 Speaker 1: It's just there's times. 520 00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:11,119 Speaker 2: Like when you tell people that crime in their city 521 00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:15,040 Speaker 2: has gone down and the FBI data comes out and 522 00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:17,080 Speaker 2: they go, yeah, but my house was robbed last week, 523 00:24:17,119 --> 00:24:19,160 Speaker 2: so I don't think crime went down. It's like, well, 524 00:24:19,680 --> 00:24:23,280 Speaker 2: what you experience, your one individual touch point, is not 525 00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:27,440 Speaker 2: representative of reality. It might be your reality, it might 526 00:24:27,480 --> 00:24:30,240 Speaker 2: be your but that's not the game we're playing where 527 00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:34,640 Speaker 2: that's what's going on here, right, Like we all put 528 00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:37,719 Speaker 2: so much value into the ups and the downs. There 529 00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:40,760 Speaker 2: was a sequence in that Bear's Philadelphia game and again, 530 00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:43,400 Speaker 2: you guys, tell me where the momentum stopped and started. 531 00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:50,680 Speaker 2: So the Bears punted and no, I'm sorry, sod Eagles. 532 00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:53,199 Speaker 2: So the Eagles went down and scored a touchdown. They 533 00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:57,080 Speaker 2: went five plays ninety two yards and they scored a touchdown. 534 00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:02,720 Speaker 2: They missed the extra point. Okay, so they had a 535 00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:04,920 Speaker 2: great drive. They missed the extra point, which no one's 536 00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:06,960 Speaker 2: even talking about in this decision to go for two? 537 00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:10,040 Speaker 2: Is the guy already missed an extra point to make 538 00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:13,200 Speaker 2: it ten to nine. They then go on defense. They 539 00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:17,040 Speaker 2: intercept Caleb Williams, they get the ball back, so they 540 00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:21,440 Speaker 2: went touchdown, missed extra point, defensive takeaway. Oh my god, 541 00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:23,720 Speaker 2: we've got all the momentum. You know what happened on 542 00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:29,960 Speaker 2: the next Philadelphia drive out They fumbled, So why did 543 00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:31,960 Speaker 2: they lose all the momentum? They had all the momentum 544 00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:34,480 Speaker 2: and they lost it, but then they got it back again, 545 00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:38,640 Speaker 2: and then they lost it because it was never a factor. 546 00:25:39,040 --> 00:25:41,720 Speaker 2: They had good plays, bad plays. It's a football game. 547 00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:44,119 Speaker 2: We've all been there. Man, We're rolling and then a 548 00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:46,600 Speaker 2: guy jumps off sides. Well, if we had all the momentum, 549 00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:50,280 Speaker 2: why do you jump off sides? I don't know, because 550 00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:55,639 Speaker 2: it's nothing. It feels comfortable for everybody to explain these 551 00:25:55,680 --> 00:26:01,160 Speaker 2: phenomenons of ups and downs in momentum means I don't 552 00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:04,280 Speaker 2: really know what's going on, and it just feels like 553 00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:08,720 Speaker 2: that's what it is, and it just it doesn't impact 554 00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:10,440 Speaker 2: the game? Am I saying in the minds of the guys, 555 00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:13,280 Speaker 2: it doesn't matter. It of course matters. I would argue 556 00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:19,720 Speaker 2: it's confidence the game. Why in that four possession sequence. 557 00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:23,040 Speaker 2: Did they have momentum? Lose it? Have it, lose it, score, 558 00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:25,920 Speaker 2: miss the field goal, I miss the extra point, take 559 00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:28,600 Speaker 2: the ball away, fumble it back, then score, then miss 560 00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:31,240 Speaker 2: the two point conversion. But I thought they had all 561 00:26:31,280 --> 00:26:34,479 Speaker 2: the momentum. 562 00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:37,560 Speaker 3: He's good, he's good, he's well spoken, he's well spoken. 563 00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:39,200 Speaker 3: He has notes. Do you have notes? No, we don't 564 00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:39,919 Speaker 3: have note for me. 565 00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:43,360 Speaker 1: It's just it's the values in the percentages are high enough. 566 00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:44,879 Speaker 1: Yet there isn't it so much of a gap to 567 00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:47,320 Speaker 1: where I do think this is going to be continue 568 00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:50,359 Speaker 1: to be an argument until this gap gets wider to 569 00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:53,320 Speaker 1: where your twenty five years goes to the last forty years. 570 00:26:53,359 --> 00:26:56,439 Speaker 1: The percentages are forty nine versus forty one, and not 571 00:26:56,640 --> 00:26:58,359 Speaker 1: like you know, a couple percentage points. 572 00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:02,280 Speaker 3: Can I ask a question, why do you hate? What's 573 00:27:02,280 --> 00:27:04,640 Speaker 3: the difference if the percentages are low going for two 574 00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:06,240 Speaker 3: in the second to last drive as opposed to the 575 00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:08,400 Speaker 3: last drive, what's the big deal? 576 00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:14,800 Speaker 2: The simplest way to put it is, I just and 577 00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:19,080 Speaker 2: again it's not my opinion. I just understand that fifteen 578 00:27:19,119 --> 00:27:21,640 Speaker 2: points is not a two possession game, and that eight 579 00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:24,000 Speaker 2: points is not a one possession game. They could be 580 00:27:24,760 --> 00:27:27,440 Speaker 2: it's depending on the success of the of the two 581 00:27:27,440 --> 00:27:29,679 Speaker 2: point play, right, because I got to go eight and 582 00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:32,240 Speaker 2: seven or seven and eight, and I have to go 583 00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:37,400 Speaker 2: eight to get eight. But I know over this season, 584 00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:41,440 Speaker 2: all of our the data is give at the high 585 00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:44,639 Speaker 2: side as a coin flip. Some years it's a little 586 00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:47,879 Speaker 2: bit lower, but it's usually between like forty and forty five, 587 00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:51,000 Speaker 2: maybe as upwards of like forty eight percent. Let's just 588 00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:54,480 Speaker 2: say it's somewhere in the forties. That means the likelihood 589 00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:57,600 Speaker 2: of getting it and I know are less than the 590 00:27:57,640 --> 00:28:00,080 Speaker 2: opportunity to get it. So if I treat an an 591 00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:02,879 Speaker 2: eight point game as one possession and I let the 592 00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:05,960 Speaker 2: game go all the way down and I fail, I 593 00:28:06,040 --> 00:28:08,560 Speaker 2: have no hope. Not that an on side kick is 594 00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:11,840 Speaker 2: an overly great option, it's just the only option. The 595 00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:14,960 Speaker 2: only other option is to high five and walk off 596 00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:17,679 Speaker 2: the field. So again, I'm not saying there's this like 597 00:28:17,840 --> 00:28:20,560 Speaker 2: miraculous ability to extend the game, but I'd like to 598 00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:23,880 Speaker 2: at least give myself the chance that the Cowboys had 599 00:28:24,040 --> 00:28:25,960 Speaker 2: when they were down fifteen and they went for two, 600 00:28:26,119 --> 00:28:28,880 Speaker 2: and they did recover the on side kick against Atlanta 601 00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:33,399 Speaker 2: and they won. This exact situation years ago. So like, 602 00:28:33,760 --> 00:28:36,119 Speaker 2: do people recover on side kicks at a high rate? No, 603 00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:39,680 Speaker 2: but would you certainly have that in your back pocket 604 00:28:39,720 --> 00:28:43,000 Speaker 2: with time remaining in the event you fail the two 605 00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:45,840 Speaker 2: point conversion? The answer is yes, and I'd rather recover 606 00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:49,120 Speaker 2: that on side kick with three minutes than three seconds. 607 00:28:50,080 --> 00:28:53,920 Speaker 2: That's it. If you continue to operate that a two 608 00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:59,840 Speaker 2: point play is a foe gone conclusion. Philadelphia just failed. 609 00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:01,920 Speaker 2: If it was a foregone conclusion, they would have been 610 00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:07,240 Speaker 2: down by seven. It's not a foregone conclusion that you're 611 00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:10,240 Speaker 2: gonna get it. So this notion of we're gonna go 612 00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:13,400 Speaker 2: play defense, we're down by eight and we're gonna go 613 00:29:13,440 --> 00:29:17,120 Speaker 2: in and we're gonna force overtime, what makes you think 614 00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:20,440 Speaker 2: I just watched you fail a two point conversion, So 615 00:29:20,520 --> 00:29:24,560 Speaker 2: what three minutes later changes it. I mean, you might 616 00:29:24,600 --> 00:29:27,200 Speaker 2: get it, but again we're talking a coin flip. You're 617 00:29:27,240 --> 00:29:30,320 Speaker 2: gonna rest it on a literally a less than a 618 00:29:30,360 --> 00:29:34,920 Speaker 2: coin flip. That's it. That's the entire argument that all 619 00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:37,480 Speaker 2: of us are making, and no one can give me 620 00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:42,920 Speaker 2: a reasonable stance that I would consider if someone said, hey, actually, Greg, 621 00:29:42,960 --> 00:29:44,520 Speaker 2: this is why I'd be like, Okay, I get that. 622 00:29:44,920 --> 00:29:49,560 Speaker 2: But the only argument is, we're gonna just pretend we're 623 00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:53,600 Speaker 2: in this game for three minutes longer. And I would say, 624 00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:56,320 Speaker 2: if you end up going for two with ten seconds 625 00:29:56,400 --> 00:30:00,400 Speaker 2: left down eight and you score and you fail, those 626 00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:04,840 Speaker 2: previous three minutes of hope were just as meaningless as 627 00:30:04,880 --> 00:30:08,720 Speaker 2: the three the final three minutes when you failed. Those 628 00:30:08,760 --> 00:30:13,080 Speaker 2: three minutes of time, whether it's before you inevitably missed 629 00:30:13,080 --> 00:30:15,840 Speaker 2: the two point conversion or after you missed the two 630 00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:20,400 Speaker 2: point conversion, they're all meaningless minutes just because you feel 631 00:30:20,520 --> 00:30:24,040 Speaker 2: optimism is irrelevant, thinks. 632 00:30:25,760 --> 00:30:28,320 Speaker 1: It's good optimism. Like it's almost like if you missed 633 00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:32,280 Speaker 1: the two point early, it's more anger that you feel, 634 00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:34,800 Speaker 1: versus if you missed the two point late. I feel 635 00:30:34,840 --> 00:30:37,000 Speaker 1: like it's more sadness, and it is the two point. 636 00:30:36,920 --> 00:30:39,000 Speaker 3: But sadness you have the ability to keep a team 637 00:30:39,040 --> 00:30:41,840 Speaker 3: together longer. Yeah, as opposed to anger. You miss it 638 00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:44,200 Speaker 3: said god, we suck, why could we not hit this play? 639 00:30:44,320 --> 00:30:45,520 Speaker 3: And then if you miss it on the last one, 640 00:30:45,560 --> 00:30:47,760 Speaker 3: you're like, damn, we were so close, and Greg by 641 00:30:47,800 --> 00:30:50,440 Speaker 3: your logic, I look at all of these games and 642 00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:53,560 Speaker 3: it's like, Okay, it was meaningless for the Saints to 643 00:30:53,600 --> 00:30:56,560 Speaker 3: play this weekend against the Dolphins. I mean, there was 644 00:30:56,560 --> 00:30:58,920 Speaker 3: ane kick in that game. They scored seventeen points, but 645 00:30:59,040 --> 00:31:02,240 Speaker 3: Dolphins scored twenty one. So the cell full sixty minutes 646 00:31:02,280 --> 00:31:05,120 Speaker 3: is now meaningless. Bucks beat the Cardinals twenty seventeen, so 647 00:31:05,200 --> 00:31:06,040 Speaker 3: the Cardinals. 648 00:31:05,800 --> 00:31:06,840 Speaker 2: Fin is the game meaningless. 649 00:31:06,880 --> 00:31:08,280 Speaker 1: I'm confused because. 650 00:31:08,040 --> 00:31:10,960 Speaker 3: You're saying that these three minutes are meaningless because you 651 00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:13,959 Speaker 3: just prolong the inevitable pain. By all these teams Lee 652 00:31:14,120 --> 00:31:17,520 Speaker 3: losing were essentially prolonging their inevitable pain. So if we 653 00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:21,240 Speaker 3: just if we go for two early, it turns into 654 00:31:21,600 --> 00:31:23,840 Speaker 3: why are we doing that as opposed to doing the 655 00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:26,800 Speaker 3: same thing late, regardless to the same result. 656 00:31:27,320 --> 00:31:30,280 Speaker 2: It's I'm not making I'm not making the argument that 657 00:31:30,480 --> 00:31:33,600 Speaker 2: the final the biggest argument that everyone makes. You guys 658 00:31:33,600 --> 00:31:36,400 Speaker 2: are making it today is if you fail with three 659 00:31:36,440 --> 00:31:38,880 Speaker 2: minutes to go after the first touchdown when you're trying 660 00:31:38,880 --> 00:31:40,560 Speaker 2: to make it seven and then as a rult it's nine. 661 00:31:40,920 --> 00:31:43,520 Speaker 2: At that moment, Will said, you fight for sixty minutes, 662 00:31:43,560 --> 00:31:46,600 Speaker 2: not fifty seven. You guys are making the argument that 663 00:31:46,720 --> 00:31:49,440 Speaker 2: the final three minutes of the game become meaningless because 664 00:31:49,480 --> 00:31:52,640 Speaker 2: of the early failed two point play. I'm just suggesting 665 00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:55,560 Speaker 2: they're meaningless even if you don't get the two point 666 00:31:55,600 --> 00:31:57,880 Speaker 2: play at the end of the game. So that's just 667 00:31:57,960 --> 00:32:01,000 Speaker 2: the argument that's being used against this these other scenarios. 668 00:32:01,240 --> 00:32:03,960 Speaker 2: Listen for the Minnesota Vikings. The game I called yesterday. 669 00:32:04,440 --> 00:32:07,760 Speaker 2: Once Seattle went up three to nothing, the game was over. 670 00:32:10,160 --> 00:32:12,680 Speaker 2: It was me winning twenty six nothing. It didn't matter. 671 00:32:12,800 --> 00:32:14,280 Speaker 2: There was at no point did it look like they 672 00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:16,640 Speaker 2: were going to score point. So again, I'm not sitting 673 00:32:16,680 --> 00:32:19,680 Speaker 2: here saying that teams shouldn't play and teams shouldn't compete. 674 00:32:19,720 --> 00:32:22,680 Speaker 2: Of course they should. I'm just making the argument in 675 00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:25,560 Speaker 2: response to what's been thrown at me. It's like, you 676 00:32:25,840 --> 00:32:27,440 Speaker 2: ended the game with three and a half minutes by 677 00:32:27,480 --> 00:32:29,800 Speaker 2: failing the two point play, and I'm like, a three 678 00:32:29,800 --> 00:32:32,360 Speaker 2: and a half minutes that are meaningless. It's still depending 679 00:32:32,440 --> 00:32:34,760 Speaker 2: on a two point try. You might as well figure 680 00:32:34,760 --> 00:32:35,920 Speaker 2: it out sooner than later. 681 00:32:36,440 --> 00:32:39,960 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, that's all. Okay, understand you do a good job. 682 00:32:40,040 --> 00:32:41,880 Speaker 1: Each week. I feel like I get to learn something 683 00:32:41,920 --> 00:32:44,880 Speaker 1: new with you because I saw another gentleman he quote 684 00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:47,760 Speaker 1: tweeted you like this is why you are who you 685 00:32:47,880 --> 00:32:49,680 Speaker 1: are and your job and your seat I do. I 686 00:32:49,720 --> 00:32:51,560 Speaker 1: think you do a great job breaking this stuff down 687 00:32:51,560 --> 00:32:54,840 Speaker 1: because I've always not always, but kind of been like 688 00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:59,920 Speaker 1: a pushback against the analytics stuff because there's just anti analytics, 689 00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:03,640 Speaker 1: not fully anti analytics, like I get, you know, like 690 00:33:03,960 --> 00:33:06,000 Speaker 1: going for two when you're down fourteen or whatever it 691 00:33:06,160 --> 00:33:08,480 Speaker 1: is and you're down ten and you score, It's like, okay, 692 00:33:08,480 --> 00:33:09,880 Speaker 1: you got to go for two. Here, I wrap my 693 00:33:09,960 --> 00:33:12,400 Speaker 1: head around that, like going forward on fourth down. I'm 694 00:33:12,480 --> 00:33:14,680 Speaker 1: beginning to wrap my head all around all these scenarios. 695 00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:17,040 Speaker 1: I'm going forward on fourth down. I've been a slow 696 00:33:17,120 --> 00:33:19,640 Speaker 1: burn on the analytics. I've been more of the angry 697 00:33:19,680 --> 00:33:21,560 Speaker 1: old white that's like, that's not how you do it. 698 00:33:21,680 --> 00:33:24,240 Speaker 1: Like I want to play. You got Jalen Carter, you 699 00:33:24,400 --> 00:33:28,400 Speaker 1: got Zach Bawd, Like you play defense. Yeah, defensive mindset, 700 00:33:29,320 --> 00:33:31,840 Speaker 1: but it's a mindset. But but we'll all to give 701 00:33:31,880 --> 00:33:34,720 Speaker 1: you the I'm not debating any of that, Listen, I 702 00:33:34,880 --> 00:33:36,600 Speaker 1: know you're not debating that. I'm trying to give you 703 00:33:36,680 --> 00:33:38,000 Speaker 1: a compliment right now, and I just. 704 00:33:38,040 --> 00:33:41,480 Speaker 2: Want to say you have a job attitude and all that. 705 00:33:41,640 --> 00:33:44,200 Speaker 2: It matters, yes, yes, but it's not going to make 706 00:33:44,280 --> 00:33:47,680 Speaker 2: you more or less inclined to I guess my take. 707 00:33:47,640 --> 00:33:50,040 Speaker 1: Is think of us all on the sideline, like you 708 00:33:50,160 --> 00:33:51,760 Speaker 1: kick the extra point, go down eight. We're all on 709 00:33:51,840 --> 00:33:53,800 Speaker 1: the same team together. It's like we're staring at each 710 00:33:53,800 --> 00:33:55,560 Speaker 1: other and it's like, get us the ball back, like 711 00:33:55,600 --> 00:33:56,880 Speaker 1: you took. 712 00:33:56,760 --> 00:34:01,840 Speaker 2: The will if you took the I don't believe you, 713 00:34:03,080 --> 00:34:08,600 Speaker 2: JJ Watt, the Eagles. These I just have a hard 714 00:34:08,680 --> 00:34:12,160 Speaker 2: time believing. And maybe I'm wrong, maybe I have a 715 00:34:12,200 --> 00:34:14,920 Speaker 2: high opinion of you guys. I just have a very 716 00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:18,759 Speaker 2: hard time believing that you guys kicked that extra point 717 00:34:18,840 --> 00:34:22,680 Speaker 2: down eight, and you take that field with piss coming 718 00:34:22,719 --> 00:34:25,279 Speaker 2: out of ero and you're just fucking ripping to go 719 00:34:25,360 --> 00:34:28,360 Speaker 2: play defense, and all of a sudden it's nine and 720 00:34:28,480 --> 00:34:29,279 Speaker 2: you say I quit. 721 00:34:29,760 --> 00:34:32,440 Speaker 1: No, you're You're a spot on with that, So you 722 00:34:32,600 --> 00:34:34,640 Speaker 1: are spot That's hard. 723 00:34:34,640 --> 00:34:36,880 Speaker 2: I don't think J. Watt plays any less hard. I 724 00:34:36,920 --> 00:34:38,719 Speaker 2: don't think you're playing less hard. I don't think the 725 00:34:38,800 --> 00:34:41,799 Speaker 2: Eagles are competing less. I think you guys are professional 726 00:34:42,040 --> 00:34:45,120 Speaker 2: football players, and whether you're down seven, eight, nine, twenty, 727 00:34:45,400 --> 00:34:49,319 Speaker 2: the expectation is you're gonna play your ass off. Yes, 728 00:34:50,120 --> 00:34:52,319 Speaker 2: So looking at your teammate in the eyes and going 729 00:34:52,480 --> 00:34:55,200 Speaker 2: we've got a shot, let's go win one for the Gipper, 730 00:34:56,840 --> 00:34:59,239 Speaker 2: I think it's just nonsense. 731 00:35:00,120 --> 00:35:02,640 Speaker 1: I guess it's more of just the optimism and hope 732 00:35:02,680 --> 00:35:04,400 Speaker 1: that is there when you're down eight points. 733 00:35:04,680 --> 00:35:05,960 Speaker 2: Hope is not a strategy. 734 00:35:06,440 --> 00:35:08,439 Speaker 6: Oh that was a good way, Greg. 735 00:35:08,800 --> 00:35:11,120 Speaker 1: That's why did I love having you on every week? Man? 736 00:35:12,160 --> 00:35:14,920 Speaker 2: Why did why when Washington won the toss last night? 737 00:35:14,960 --> 00:35:17,719 Speaker 1: Did they go on defense so they could have the 738 00:35:17,760 --> 00:35:21,520 Speaker 1: ball last and go for two? Of course, and they 739 00:35:21,640 --> 00:35:26,240 Speaker 1: had the perfect play dialed up Bro on that running 740 00:35:26,280 --> 00:35:29,080 Speaker 1: back when he motions when he motioned from outside, and 741 00:35:29,200 --> 00:35:31,200 Speaker 1: I saw that they weren't in a full cluster. The 742 00:35:31,360 --> 00:35:34,160 Speaker 1: receivers weren't in a true bunch, but close enough together. 743 00:35:34,320 --> 00:35:37,000 Speaker 1: Or I'm like, I'm looking at the I'm looking at 744 00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:38,520 Speaker 1: the Denver defense and be like, man, a lot of 745 00:35:38,560 --> 00:35:40,000 Speaker 1: guys are on the same level right now. 746 00:35:40,480 --> 00:35:40,600 Speaker 2: Uh. 747 00:35:40,760 --> 00:35:42,480 Speaker 1: They run this pick play with the running back to 748 00:35:42,520 --> 00:35:44,879 Speaker 1: the flat like this is gonna be wide, dude. Once 749 00:35:44,920 --> 00:35:47,279 Speaker 1: the running back takes off, I'm like, oh god, they 750 00:35:47,400 --> 00:35:50,040 Speaker 1: got it. I see Oh buddy, I think Defonga running 751 00:35:50,120 --> 00:35:52,839 Speaker 1: to run into one of his defensive players. They had it, Bro, 752 00:35:53,280 --> 00:35:55,719 Speaker 1: and then Nick Benito just bats the ball down. They 753 00:35:55,760 --> 00:35:58,160 Speaker 1: had the perfect play executed. 754 00:35:58,320 --> 00:36:01,200 Speaker 2: Yes, but they had already made up their mind that 755 00:36:01,280 --> 00:36:03,400 Speaker 2: they were going to go for two. They wanted to 756 00:36:03,480 --> 00:36:06,040 Speaker 2: know what they needed. So the big argument is no 757 00:36:06,160 --> 00:36:08,640 Speaker 2: different than the argument we just had. You want as 758 00:36:08,719 --> 00:36:14,040 Speaker 2: much information as early as possible to impact your decision making, 759 00:36:14,440 --> 00:36:16,840 Speaker 2: and whether that's having the ball second in overtime or 760 00:36:16,920 --> 00:36:18,560 Speaker 2: knowing when I need an on side kick or not, 761 00:36:18,760 --> 00:36:20,840 Speaker 2: or knowing how many points I need, how many possessions 762 00:36:20,880 --> 00:36:25,360 Speaker 2: I need. The entire gist of all of this is 763 00:36:25,480 --> 00:36:30,080 Speaker 2: to control as many variables as humanly possible. That's the 764 00:36:30,120 --> 00:36:32,359 Speaker 2: bottom line, and that's why people use the data. 765 00:36:34,040 --> 00:36:36,120 Speaker 1: That's the end of the clip right there. That's a 766 00:36:36,239 --> 00:36:38,320 Speaker 1: that's a that's a go, because I'll still have questions 767 00:36:38,320 --> 00:36:39,880 Speaker 1: each and every week when something happens. 768 00:36:41,600 --> 00:36:44,040 Speaker 2: In Vegas at eight am, because I couldn't wait to talk. 769 00:36:43,880 --> 00:36:46,680 Speaker 1: To you guys. But now, but now pre will where 770 00:36:46,719 --> 00:36:49,240 Speaker 1: I was more anti analytics is gonna be I'm totally 771 00:36:49,320 --> 00:36:51,600 Speaker 1: right about this. It's more anger. And then there's going 772 00:36:51,640 --> 00:36:53,120 Speaker 1: to be a part of me that's like, wait till 773 00:36:53,160 --> 00:36:54,759 Speaker 1: we get Greg gone and he can break this down 774 00:36:54,760 --> 00:36:55,600 Speaker 1: a little bit more for me. 775 00:36:56,200 --> 00:36:58,480 Speaker 2: Five years ago, if you went for two down fifteen, 776 00:36:59,120 --> 00:37:01,000 Speaker 2: I mean, if you ten years ago, if you went 777 00:37:01,080 --> 00:37:03,920 Speaker 2: for two down fourteen after your first touchdown to make 778 00:37:03,960 --> 00:37:07,040 Speaker 2: it six, you would have been thrown off a bridge. 779 00:37:08,360 --> 00:37:11,040 Speaker 2: That was so bizarre to anyone. What do you mean 780 00:37:11,320 --> 00:37:14,759 Speaker 2: you're down seven and seven and you play for overtime? 781 00:37:15,239 --> 00:37:18,040 Speaker 2: Why would you ever take it now? You're gonna now 782 00:37:18,640 --> 00:37:21,240 Speaker 2: if people don't go for two after the first touchdown 783 00:37:21,280 --> 00:37:24,240 Speaker 2: to try to make it six, people are like baffled. 784 00:37:25,040 --> 00:37:27,839 Speaker 1: It takes took in that right there. That's gonna take 785 00:37:27,920 --> 00:37:30,320 Speaker 1: a lot of time for your boy, Willie here, like, 786 00:37:30,480 --> 00:37:32,640 Speaker 1: I'm thinking, okay, if you're gonna go for two, you 787 00:37:32,680 --> 00:37:34,319 Speaker 1: could just go for two at the end of the game. 788 00:37:34,360 --> 00:37:35,880 Speaker 1: When you when you're sitting there, it's like, are they 789 00:37:35,880 --> 00:37:37,400 Speaker 1: gonna tie it up with the final extra point? Are 790 00:37:37,440 --> 00:37:38,600 Speaker 1: they gonna go for two and try to win? 791 00:37:38,920 --> 00:37:42,000 Speaker 2: What's more likely to convert a two point play going 792 00:37:42,120 --> 00:37:43,520 Speaker 2: one for one or one for two. 793 00:37:44,920 --> 00:37:48,360 Speaker 3: That's not that's so you're arguing, he said. Will is 794 00:37:48,440 --> 00:37:50,279 Speaker 3: just saying, when am I gonna go for two? And 795 00:37:50,360 --> 00:37:51,719 Speaker 3: the answer to will is, I'm gonna go. 796 00:37:51,719 --> 00:37:54,239 Speaker 1: And we're down fourteen, we score a touchdown, you're gonna 797 00:37:54,239 --> 00:37:57,160 Speaker 1: see Willie boy comfortably safely kick the extra point. 798 00:37:57,360 --> 00:37:59,680 Speaker 2: But I'm asking you, let's say I go Let's well, 799 00:37:59,800 --> 00:38:01,520 Speaker 2: my point it that's my whole point of all this. 800 00:38:01,640 --> 00:38:04,960 Speaker 2: The fourteen one is so easy because if I go 801 00:38:05,120 --> 00:38:06,879 Speaker 2: for two and if I have to get a two 802 00:38:06,920 --> 00:38:10,000 Speaker 2: point conversion. Am I more likely to get a two 803 00:38:10,040 --> 00:38:13,200 Speaker 2: point conversion going one for one, which is your scenario, 804 00:38:13,920 --> 00:38:16,239 Speaker 2: or just one for two, which is do it first? 805 00:38:16,320 --> 00:38:18,480 Speaker 2: If I fail, I'll do it again and tie the game. 806 00:38:18,719 --> 00:38:20,480 Speaker 2: Am I more likely to go one for two or 807 00:38:20,520 --> 00:38:21,280 Speaker 2: one for one. 808 00:38:22,120 --> 00:38:25,359 Speaker 1: One for two? Yeah, You're more likely to go one 809 00:38:25,440 --> 00:38:25,719 Speaker 1: for two. 810 00:38:25,880 --> 00:38:28,160 Speaker 3: That's a great point, Greg, That is that that's a 811 00:38:28,239 --> 00:38:29,719 Speaker 3: point you make because I'm kind of sit with you 812 00:38:29,840 --> 00:38:30,960 Speaker 3: on that being like Europe. 813 00:38:30,760 --> 00:38:32,719 Speaker 2: Well, that's why you don't do it at the last one, right. 814 00:38:32,840 --> 00:38:35,080 Speaker 2: If the goal is to win the game, which. 815 00:38:35,080 --> 00:38:37,960 Speaker 1: Is I'm still doing all of these, I'm going one 816 00:38:38,040 --> 00:38:39,680 Speaker 1: for one in my percentage going to be one hundred percent. 817 00:38:40,920 --> 00:38:45,600 Speaker 3: Hell yeah you are, like yeah, because. 818 00:38:45,400 --> 00:38:47,040 Speaker 1: You fail the first one, then the best you could 819 00:38:47,080 --> 00:38:47,959 Speaker 1: do is tie the game. 820 00:38:49,120 --> 00:38:51,920 Speaker 3: Greg. This is an example of Will being out of 821 00:38:51,920 --> 00:38:55,040 Speaker 3: the game very long. Like when Will was playing, there 822 00:38:55,200 --> 00:38:57,600 Speaker 3: wasn't this, you know, forty to forty No matter what 823 00:38:57,680 --> 00:38:59,320 Speaker 3: we go for a fourth down. That's kind of like 824 00:38:59,400 --> 00:39:02,080 Speaker 3: the norm in the NFL, Like you get in the 825 00:39:02,200 --> 00:39:03,680 Speaker 3: middle part of the field, you go for it, and 826 00:39:03,719 --> 00:39:06,960 Speaker 3: fourth down. When we were playing that was take a 827 00:39:07,000 --> 00:39:09,560 Speaker 3: delay a game punt that was that was more of 828 00:39:09,600 --> 00:39:11,359 Speaker 3: the strategy. It's really been in the last three four 829 00:39:11,480 --> 00:39:13,920 Speaker 3: years that this go for the fourth down thing has 830 00:39:13,960 --> 00:39:15,480 Speaker 3: really changed the game in a lot of ways. I 831 00:39:15,520 --> 00:39:18,480 Speaker 3: think it was Campbell and Quinn who were kind of 832 00:39:18,560 --> 00:39:19,960 Speaker 3: like steam headed that whole entire thing. 833 00:39:20,040 --> 00:39:21,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, they were the early adopters. 834 00:39:21,600 --> 00:39:23,799 Speaker 1: All right, quick break from the action to shout out 835 00:39:23,840 --> 00:39:26,480 Speaker 1: some sponsors of ours.

Let's get back to this episode. 870 00:40:56,440 --> 00:41:00,320 Speaker 2: How about the Panthers yesterday? Yeah, insane, like win that 871 00:41:00,440 --> 00:41:03,480 Speaker 2: game if they don't throw two fourth down touchdown passes 872 00:41:03,920 --> 00:41:07,239 Speaker 2: in a game. They ran it forty something times. But 873 00:41:07,320 --> 00:41:10,200 Speaker 2: why they win the game. They didn't win the game 874 00:41:10,200 --> 00:41:12,640 Speaker 2: because they went forty for one to sixty. They won 875 00:41:12,719 --> 00:41:15,439 Speaker 2: the game because they used fourth down and Bryce Young 876 00:41:15,520 --> 00:41:16,640 Speaker 2: threw three touchdowns. 877 00:41:17,520 --> 00:41:17,759 Speaker 3: Yeah. 878 00:41:18,120 --> 00:41:20,719 Speaker 1: Absolutely, that's great. That's great. That's that's that's great. 879 00:41:20,880 --> 00:41:21,839 Speaker 3: If it's forty, that's great. 880 00:41:21,920 --> 00:41:24,200 Speaker 1: Going after you, Yeah, forty times running the ball. 881 00:41:24,320 --> 00:41:27,560 Speaker 3: Here's why those plays worked better throwing those touchdowns is 882 00:41:27,600 --> 00:41:30,359 Speaker 3: you're running the ball effectively. Fourth and one, they got 883 00:41:30,400 --> 00:41:32,800 Speaker 3: everybody out there because they've got dab all in the backfield. 884 00:41:33,080 --> 00:41:34,880 Speaker 3: Now we're playing a little press. We can get behind 885 00:41:34,960 --> 00:41:37,400 Speaker 3: that that secondary. So thank god they're ran the ball 886 00:41:37,520 --> 00:41:40,560 Speaker 3: forty times for one second, thank god, thank god. And 887 00:41:40,640 --> 00:41:43,080 Speaker 3: I appreciate you bringing that up because it's all about 888 00:41:43,120 --> 00:41:45,600 Speaker 3: gathering as much information as you possibly can to make 889 00:41:45,640 --> 00:41:48,839 Speaker 3: the right decision right greg correct by running the ball effectively. 890 00:41:49,280 --> 00:41:51,560 Speaker 2: They should have just they should have kicked more field goals. 891 00:41:53,000 --> 00:41:55,239 Speaker 1: Hey, you got the you got the Panthers coming out 892 00:41:55,239 --> 00:41:58,440 Speaker 1: of the South. Panther's been playing some good ball man, 893 00:41:58,520 --> 00:41:59,680 Speaker 1: that defense picking. 894 00:41:59,440 --> 00:42:03,640 Speaker 2: On the buff twice over, so they have a buy 895 00:42:03,760 --> 00:42:05,480 Speaker 2: this week. And they got four games left, so they 896 00:42:05,520 --> 00:42:08,160 Speaker 2: got a tough stretch. They got Tampa twice post by, 897 00:42:08,680 --> 00:42:11,160 Speaker 2: They've got the Seahawks at home, who are a wagon 898 00:42:12,320 --> 00:42:15,480 Speaker 2: and I don't remember who their fourth game is, but 899 00:42:15,600 --> 00:42:18,400 Speaker 2: three of their final four games are real, So I 900 00:42:18,440 --> 00:42:21,239 Speaker 2: mean they control their destiny. I mean they can. They 901 00:42:21,280 --> 00:42:23,560 Speaker 2: can get those Bucks games. Again, no one gave them 902 00:42:23,600 --> 00:42:25,759 Speaker 2: a chance against the Rams. You know, you wouldn't think 903 00:42:25,840 --> 00:42:28,239 Speaker 2: the Seahawks going in there with how well we've seen 904 00:42:28,280 --> 00:42:32,480 Speaker 2: them play, especially that defense. But again, no one gave 905 00:42:32,520 --> 00:42:34,560 Speaker 2: them a shot yesterday against the Rams, and two weeks 906 00:42:34,600 --> 00:42:37,080 Speaker 2: ago we just saw the Rams beat the Seahawks. So again, 907 00:42:37,120 --> 00:42:38,719 Speaker 2: if you can turn the ball over and you can 908 00:42:38,760 --> 00:42:43,120 Speaker 2: generate explosive plays, and to Canalys's credit, use every single 909 00:42:43,280 --> 00:42:44,680 Speaker 2: down to pull off an upset. 910 00:42:46,400 --> 00:42:47,040 Speaker 6: We've seen in the. 911 00:42:47,120 --> 00:42:51,879 Speaker 2: NFL that that works, right, Like Stafford hadn't thrown a pick, 912 00:42:52,000 --> 00:42:54,400 Speaker 2: and like what felt like ten years, he throws a 913 00:42:54,480 --> 00:42:56,000 Speaker 2: red zone pick and then on the next drive he 914 00:42:56,040 --> 00:42:59,040 Speaker 2: throws a pick six. So like that's what's funny about 915 00:42:59,040 --> 00:43:01,080 Speaker 2: the game of football. Is like, yeah, on paper, if 916 00:43:01,080 --> 00:43:04,000 Speaker 2: they play each other, the Rams probably win seven to ten. 917 00:43:04,840 --> 00:43:07,040 Speaker 2: But you don't play best as seven series in football. 918 00:43:07,080 --> 00:43:07,640 Speaker 2: You play once. 919 00:43:08,480 --> 00:43:11,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, and that defense is salty man picking off Stafford's 920 00:43:11,560 --> 00:43:13,719 Speaker 1: who hasn't down an interception I don't know how long. 921 00:43:14,000 --> 00:43:16,040 Speaker 2: And they did it without arguably their two best players. 922 00:43:16,120 --> 00:43:19,000 Speaker 2: Trayvon Mahra got suspended because he punched John Jennings and 923 00:43:19,040 --> 00:43:23,239 Speaker 2: the balls after Monday night's game and J. C. Horn 924 00:43:23,360 --> 00:43:23,600 Speaker 2: was out. 925 00:43:24,239 --> 00:43:25,000 Speaker 1: Yeah yeah. 926 00:43:25,280 --> 00:43:26,960 Speaker 3: By the way, By the way, that fourth game for 927 00:43:27,040 --> 00:43:28,320 Speaker 3: the Panthers is the Saints. 928 00:43:29,520 --> 00:43:33,760 Speaker 1: Okay, So and again though you've beat you've beat the Rams, 929 00:43:34,239 --> 00:43:36,400 Speaker 1: you go into Green Bay, you beat Green Bay. Like 930 00:43:36,520 --> 00:43:38,560 Speaker 1: this team can beat anybody. 931 00:43:38,239 --> 00:43:41,960 Speaker 2: Right, they've beaten the Cowboys. They have beaten the Cowboys. 932 00:43:42,640 --> 00:43:45,240 Speaker 1: That was pre trade, pre trade Cowboys. 933 00:43:45,880 --> 00:43:49,360 Speaker 2: Still they've beaten the Cowboys, the Packers, and the Rams, 934 00:43:50,360 --> 00:43:55,359 Speaker 2: and they've lost to the Saints. Saints games, what's killing them? 935 00:43:55,800 --> 00:43:59,439 Speaker 3: Yeah, it is just crazy to see that Bryce Young 936 00:43:59,560 --> 00:44:03,120 Speaker 3: his story line, he gets benched, comes back, now he's 937 00:44:03,120 --> 00:44:04,880 Speaker 3: playing at a high level. Well, they're gonna pay him. 938 00:44:05,760 --> 00:44:07,480 Speaker 3: They're gonna pay him, break him off. 939 00:44:07,719 --> 00:44:10,120 Speaker 1: What do you think? What are you making of the 940 00:44:10,520 --> 00:44:14,760 Speaker 1: East Cowboys winning the last two big games? Eagles, the Chiefs. 941 00:44:15,080 --> 00:44:18,200 Speaker 1: Philly's dropped with the last two weeks. Yeah, I think 942 00:44:18,239 --> 00:44:20,640 Speaker 1: it's been two. I know we had a long Thanksgiving break. 943 00:44:21,280 --> 00:44:23,560 Speaker 1: Phillies dropped the last two. We're not like a game 944 00:44:23,560 --> 00:44:26,160 Speaker 1: and a half off because Cowboy Dallas has that tie, Like, 945 00:44:26,560 --> 00:44:30,480 Speaker 1: do you in your head, is there a world that 946 00:44:30,640 --> 00:44:33,279 Speaker 1: you're buying and believing that the Dallas Cowboys can win 947 00:44:33,320 --> 00:44:34,040 Speaker 1: the NFC East? 948 00:44:35,239 --> 00:44:38,800 Speaker 2: Absolutely, I mean I wouldn't bet on it. I still 949 00:44:38,920 --> 00:44:42,919 Speaker 2: think for all the issues that Philadelphia has, I still 950 00:44:43,000 --> 00:44:46,800 Speaker 2: think their roster is better. I think they have the pedigree. 951 00:44:46,920 --> 00:44:49,320 Speaker 2: I think they they they have the dudes, they have 952 00:44:49,440 --> 00:44:51,960 Speaker 2: the defense, they have the obviously the offense has some problems, 953 00:44:52,000 --> 00:44:54,880 Speaker 2: but they still have just playmakers that can beat you 954 00:44:55,560 --> 00:44:58,400 Speaker 2: even if the scheme, even if the situation is not perfect. 955 00:44:58,840 --> 00:45:00,759 Speaker 2: At the end of the day, especially the playoffs, like 956 00:45:00,920 --> 00:45:05,680 Speaker 2: talent matters, talent wins. So I again, if you made 957 00:45:05,719 --> 00:45:07,719 Speaker 2: me pick one or the other right now, I'd still 958 00:45:07,800 --> 00:45:12,720 Speaker 2: probably pick Philadelphia. But for weeks now I've been saying, 959 00:45:13,120 --> 00:45:15,120 Speaker 2: if Dallas could just figure out a way to just 960 00:45:15,320 --> 00:45:18,759 Speaker 2: get middle of the pack on defense, Yeah, I don't 961 00:45:18,760 --> 00:45:20,399 Speaker 2: know if they're ever going to be a top ten unit. 962 00:45:20,520 --> 00:45:23,480 Speaker 2: They're not there yet. They've got a lot of draft picks, 963 00:45:23,480 --> 00:45:26,720 Speaker 2: they've got some time over the the next couple seasons 964 00:45:26,760 --> 00:45:29,880 Speaker 2: to try to improve the defense. But with pickings and 965 00:45:30,080 --> 00:45:33,680 Speaker 2: CD and DAK and the healthy offensive line and their 966 00:45:33,719 --> 00:45:38,160 Speaker 2: ability to score points, especially in the passing game, if 967 00:45:38,600 --> 00:45:41,480 Speaker 2: that defense can just hold, serve and not give up 968 00:45:41,719 --> 00:45:44,600 Speaker 2: thirty they were averaging thirty one, giving up thirty two 969 00:45:45,000 --> 00:45:46,560 Speaker 2: at one point in the season, and you say, oh 970 00:45:46,600 --> 00:45:48,480 Speaker 2: my god, just be middle of the road. Give up 971 00:45:48,520 --> 00:45:51,400 Speaker 2: twenty five, right, Like we're not saying you got to 972 00:45:51,400 --> 00:45:54,080 Speaker 2: be the Seahawks and give up ten, but like, give 973 00:45:54,200 --> 00:45:56,120 Speaker 2: up mid to low twenties and we're gonna win a 974 00:45:56,160 --> 00:45:59,880 Speaker 2: lot of games. That's kind of post bye week, post trades, 975 00:46:00,360 --> 00:46:03,359 Speaker 2: that's kind of what they've become. And as you can see, 976 00:46:05,040 --> 00:46:07,440 Speaker 2: they're a whole different animal. When they're not just chasing 977 00:46:07,520 --> 00:46:10,640 Speaker 2: thirty points every game, make teams chase them. That's when 978 00:46:10,760 --> 00:46:13,479 Speaker 2: Dallas has been their best in years past. They've built 979 00:46:13,520 --> 00:46:15,800 Speaker 2: a defense that can play with a lead. They've built 980 00:46:15,800 --> 00:46:18,360 Speaker 2: a defense that defends the pass because their offense scores 981 00:46:18,400 --> 00:46:20,760 Speaker 2: so much and all of a sudden they're run defense 982 00:46:20,800 --> 00:46:22,400 Speaker 2: and all of a sudden, the rush attempts and all 983 00:46:22,400 --> 00:46:25,160 Speaker 2: of that doesn't matter because you're not going to be 984 00:46:25,200 --> 00:46:28,280 Speaker 2: able to score thirty plus against Dallas when their offense 985 00:46:28,400 --> 00:46:31,400 Speaker 2: is rolling operating in a very conservative approach. Right, So 986 00:46:31,560 --> 00:46:33,919 Speaker 2: last year when Dak is out and all hell breaks lose, 987 00:46:34,560 --> 00:46:37,320 Speaker 2: the defense gets run through. Micaeh Parsons is no factor. 988 00:46:37,920 --> 00:46:40,560 Speaker 2: Digs in Bland are both hurt and not productive because 989 00:46:40,560 --> 00:46:42,920 Speaker 2: they're not defending the passing game and their defense goes 990 00:46:43,000 --> 00:46:45,960 Speaker 2: to shit. It's all connected to the offense. So if 991 00:46:45,960 --> 00:46:48,240 Speaker 2: they can just get to baseline, I don't want. 992 00:46:48,120 --> 00:46:51,879 Speaker 1: To play Dallas, right, and they're getting healthy two on defense. Yeah, 993 00:46:52,000 --> 00:46:54,239 Speaker 1: with Hooker coming back. You know, this is a couple 994 00:46:54,280 --> 00:46:55,879 Speaker 1: of weeks ago after that trade have but the trade 995 00:46:55,920 --> 00:46:56,560 Speaker 1: looks good, man. 996 00:46:56,680 --> 00:46:59,319 Speaker 3: Yea Quinn Williams is playing, He's like elevated that defense. 997 00:46:59,239 --> 00:47:02,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, Quinn Williams. You got Logan Wilson that week. They 998 00:47:02,960 --> 00:47:06,200 Speaker 1: brought him over him and Kenneth Murray's rotating on every 999 00:47:06,320 --> 00:47:09,279 Speaker 1: series there there was a linebacker. Like when those competitions 1000 00:47:09,320 --> 00:47:12,160 Speaker 1: are happening and the cream is rising to the top, 1001 00:47:12,280 --> 00:47:14,680 Speaker 1: Like you just see the communication from the back with 1002 00:47:14,800 --> 00:47:18,920 Speaker 1: the back seven, the communication with the defensive line just 1003 00:47:19,160 --> 00:47:21,680 Speaker 1: you can tell they're running around hungry, and it's been like, 1004 00:47:21,760 --> 00:47:23,759 Speaker 1: it's been fun to watch. Dallas has been fun to 1005 00:47:23,800 --> 00:47:25,840 Speaker 1: watch lately since those trades have happened. 1006 00:47:25,920 --> 00:47:31,480 Speaker 3: Well, anytime you have a insane he doesn't try and 1007 00:47:31,600 --> 00:47:33,520 Speaker 3: he's just doing he could if he gave. 1008 00:47:33,680 --> 00:47:36,200 Speaker 2: I'm convinced you can tell the entire stadium that he's 1009 00:47:36,280 --> 00:47:39,840 Speaker 2: running a slant route on third or fourth down and 1010 00:47:40,000 --> 00:47:42,200 Speaker 2: it does not matter. They're gonna throw the ball to 1011 00:47:42,280 --> 00:47:43,279 Speaker 2: him and he's gonna catch it. 1012 00:47:43,480 --> 00:47:49,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, Ie, He's unbelievable. If someone just said, hey, George, 1013 00:47:49,400 --> 00:47:51,520 Speaker 3: if you give one hundred percent effort, you'll be the 1014 00:47:51,600 --> 00:47:53,640 Speaker 3: greatest to ever do it. And I believe if you 1015 00:47:54,160 --> 00:47:56,360 Speaker 3: just take that, if you could just take that advice, 1016 00:47:56,520 --> 00:47:59,400 Speaker 3: because what's George's thinking? Man, It's like lack of effort 1017 00:47:59,440 --> 00:48:01,200 Speaker 3: on some play here and there. He's a bit of 1018 00:48:01,239 --> 00:48:03,000 Speaker 3: a cancer and stealing is the way they got rid 1019 00:48:03,000 --> 00:48:04,960 Speaker 3: of him. And now it's like he's in a contract 1020 00:48:05,000 --> 00:48:07,960 Speaker 3: here and everyone's like, Yo, this is the dude. My 1021 00:48:08,200 --> 00:48:11,480 Speaker 3: fear is my biggest fear for the Cowboys is they're 1022 00:48:11,520 --> 00:48:14,000 Speaker 3: gonna break him off and he's gonna shut it down 1023 00:48:14,400 --> 00:48:17,440 Speaker 3: because he has based on his track record, he's a 1024 00:48:17,520 --> 00:48:18,239 Speaker 3: guy that can do that. 1025 00:48:18,719 --> 00:48:20,640 Speaker 1: No, I don't which it could happen, but why can't 1026 00:48:20,640 --> 00:48:21,879 Speaker 1: we just enjoy the moment? 1027 00:48:22,080 --> 00:48:24,920 Speaker 3: Enjoyed the moment. I'm just saying, Hey, we're on the titank. 1028 00:48:24,960 --> 00:48:26,600 Speaker 3: There might be an iceberg ahead of us. You guys 1029 00:48:26,600 --> 00:48:28,560 Speaker 3: just want to pay attention. I was like, fuck it, dude, 1030 00:48:29,120 --> 00:48:30,680 Speaker 3: we're gonna have fun in this ball, right. 1031 00:48:30,719 --> 00:48:33,319 Speaker 1: Yeah, let's keep saying all down, throttle down. 1032 00:48:33,800 --> 00:48:34,000 Speaker 3: Yeah. 1033 00:48:35,239 --> 00:48:38,560 Speaker 2: And I agree with you. I think that's everybody's biggest issue. 1034 00:48:38,600 --> 00:48:41,480 Speaker 2: And again, you start paying multiple receivers. Dat's already making 1035 00:48:41,560 --> 00:48:43,880 Speaker 2: sixty million. You'd got two corners that are at the 1036 00:48:43,920 --> 00:48:46,160 Speaker 2: top and Bland and digs. There's only so much money 1037 00:48:46,200 --> 00:48:47,960 Speaker 2: to go around. Obviously one of the reasons they didn't 1038 00:48:48,000 --> 00:48:50,839 Speaker 2: resign Micah. But I would also say, when you talk 1039 00:48:50,840 --> 00:48:53,960 Speaker 2: about George Pickens and you look back at his time 1040 00:48:54,040 --> 00:48:57,000 Speaker 2: in Pittsburgh. At some point we have to start asking, 1041 00:48:57,280 --> 00:49:01,839 Speaker 2: is the drama Offensively created in Pittsburgh? Yeah, because he's 1042 00:49:01,920 --> 00:49:06,040 Speaker 2: gone and Aaron Rodgers he's doing interviews yesterday, where the 1043 00:49:06,080 --> 00:49:08,480 Speaker 2: assumption is like, guys aren't coming to meetings, guys are 1044 00:49:08,560 --> 00:49:11,000 Speaker 2: running the wrong routes, guys are not doing what they're told, 1045 00:49:11,320 --> 00:49:15,840 Speaker 2: Guys are missing. So like, was the chaos Offensively in 1046 00:49:16,000 --> 00:49:20,279 Speaker 2: Pittsburgh was that Pickens's fault or was that just Pittsburgh? 1047 00:49:20,440 --> 00:49:23,200 Speaker 3: Dude, You're You're not wrong with that assumption at all, 1048 00:49:23,360 --> 00:49:25,279 Speaker 3: because I feel like for the last couple of years 1049 00:49:25,360 --> 00:49:28,800 Speaker 3: it's been like, hey, the marriage between Pittsburgh and Tomlin, 1050 00:49:29,200 --> 00:49:31,400 Speaker 3: although it was so great at one point, it feels 1051 00:49:31,440 --> 00:49:33,920 Speaker 3: like it's getting steel. The relationship needs a little kickup. 1052 00:49:34,520 --> 00:49:37,239 Speaker 3: And seeing the way it's at and how they've kind 1053 00:49:37,239 --> 00:49:38,879 Speaker 3: of produced the last couple of years where they really 1054 00:49:38,920 --> 00:49:41,160 Speaker 3: can't find an answer and their defense. They have one 1055 00:49:41,239 --> 00:49:44,080 Speaker 3: hundred and seventy nine million dollars invested in that defense 1056 00:49:44,120 --> 00:49:46,279 Speaker 3: and they're just not producing the way they should. It 1057 00:49:46,400 --> 00:49:49,880 Speaker 3: feels to me that like we're headed towards you know 1058 00:49:50,040 --> 00:49:51,880 Speaker 3: that Black Monday or whatever it is at the end 1059 00:49:51,880 --> 00:49:53,520 Speaker 3: of the year when the Steelers don't make the playoffs, 1060 00:49:53,600 --> 00:49:56,279 Speaker 3: that Tomlin is not the head coach of Steelers and 1061 00:49:56,320 --> 00:49:58,080 Speaker 3: he ends up becoming, you know, the Giants. 1062 00:49:58,000 --> 00:49:59,920 Speaker 1: Or if they do make the playoffs by just one game, 1063 00:50:00,080 --> 00:50:01,960 Speaker 1: because that seems to be the situation they are in 1064 00:50:02,120 --> 00:50:04,920 Speaker 1: absolutely every year, year in and year out. They have 1065 00:50:05,000 --> 00:50:08,640 Speaker 1: the highest paid defense. You got the pieces on defense. Offensively, 1066 00:50:08,719 --> 00:50:11,040 Speaker 1: it's like you go out, you get DK you got 1067 00:50:11,160 --> 00:50:13,759 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers, Like all they've needed is a quarterback. And 1068 00:50:13,840 --> 00:50:17,520 Speaker 1: now you're still in the same spot again with and 1069 00:50:17,719 --> 00:50:20,439 Speaker 1: at one point when the Ravens are one and five 1070 00:50:20,920 --> 00:50:23,239 Speaker 1: and they're still favored to win the division and all 1071 00:50:23,280 --> 00:50:26,080 Speaker 1: the sports books like you have such a such a 1072 00:50:26,440 --> 00:50:29,560 Speaker 1: multiple game lead over everybody in the division, and then 1073 00:50:29,600 --> 00:50:32,120 Speaker 1: to kind of soil it. Now we're sitting here, you're 1074 00:50:32,200 --> 00:50:35,720 Speaker 1: tied with Baltimore. Joe Burrow's back slinging the rock around. 1075 00:50:36,120 --> 00:50:38,600 Speaker 1: The Bengals get back in this conversation and win the 1076 00:50:38,680 --> 00:50:40,839 Speaker 1: North by the by the end of the year, if 1077 00:50:41,040 --> 00:50:45,040 Speaker 1: and when those things happen, whether it's Baltimore or the Bengals, 1078 00:50:45,160 --> 00:50:48,360 Speaker 1: whatever the drama is, we will I think will be 1079 00:50:48,440 --> 00:50:51,319 Speaker 1: at that spot again to where it'll be Tomlin's going 1080 00:50:51,360 --> 00:50:53,560 Speaker 1: to be the topic of conversation because the same thing 1081 00:50:53,680 --> 00:50:55,480 Speaker 1: keeps happening year in and year out. And this year 1082 00:50:55,640 --> 00:50:58,400 Speaker 1: you had a best of a shot as anybody with 1083 00:50:58,560 --> 00:51:01,560 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers with that defense with like a four game 1084 00:51:01,680 --> 00:51:02,640 Speaker 1: lead on everybody. 1085 00:51:03,080 --> 00:51:06,120 Speaker 3: And if you look at the defense too, like none 1086 00:51:06,160 --> 00:51:08,759 Speaker 3: of those players are young, like TJ. Watt's been there 1087 00:51:08,800 --> 00:51:11,440 Speaker 3: for ten years, Cameron Hayward is the leader of your defense. 1088 00:51:11,480 --> 00:51:14,359 Speaker 3: He's been for thirteen fourteen years. Like, at some point 1089 00:51:14,400 --> 00:51:17,360 Speaker 3: there's gonna be turnover and it might be best for 1090 00:51:17,440 --> 00:51:20,200 Speaker 3: both situations for Tom Whin to get out, cause it's 1091 00:51:20,280 --> 00:51:22,520 Speaker 3: like you're gonna have a great legacy. You'renna be one 1092 00:51:22,520 --> 00:51:23,880 Speaker 3: of the best coaches to ever do it at a 1093 00:51:24,239 --> 00:51:27,279 Speaker 3: you know, a predominant franchise like the Pittsburgh Steelers. But 1094 00:51:27,440 --> 00:51:29,839 Speaker 3: once those players leave, if you can't do it one 1095 00:51:29,920 --> 00:51:32,239 Speaker 3: hundred and seventy nine million dollars invested, what's gonna happen? 1096 00:51:32,320 --> 00:51:34,759 Speaker 1: Then? Yeah, you get a bad losing season, don't get more. 1097 00:51:35,840 --> 00:51:37,520 Speaker 2: Were you guys having on from Ohio State?

But to just see that team, 1155 00:53:56,760 --> 00:54:00,160 Speaker 1: the way that they get excited after every game in 1156 00:54:00,239 --> 00:54:02,640 Speaker 1: that locker room, it just it's like you have fomo 1157 00:54:02,800 --> 00:54:04,880 Speaker 1: watching it as a former player of like, how much 1158 00:54:04,960 --> 00:54:08,000 Speaker 1: fun this team's happened, because again, they're still not bottom 1159 00:54:08,040 --> 00:54:09,800 Speaker 1: of the barrel, but they have question marks on defense, 1160 00:54:09,840 --> 00:54:12,760 Speaker 1: but they're very opportunistic. At the same time, Caleb Williams 1161 00:54:12,840 --> 00:54:15,200 Speaker 1: is he has a lot of inaccuracy issues, but the 1162 00:54:15,280 --> 00:54:17,480 Speaker 1: dude just continues to hang in the pocket and sling it. 1163 00:54:17,719 --> 00:54:19,799 Speaker 1: You see the creativity on offense. You see the belief 1164 00:54:19,880 --> 00:54:21,959 Speaker 1: in Ben Johnson, you see the fun that they're having, 1165 00:54:22,120 --> 00:54:24,040 Speaker 1: and the fact that they're sitting the top of the 1166 00:54:24,239 --> 00:54:26,640 Speaker 1: NFC North right now with the Detroit Lions, they might 1167 00:54:26,680 --> 00:54:29,160 Speaker 1: not make the playoffs. Like that's a real conversation that's 1168 00:54:29,200 --> 00:54:31,520 Speaker 1: happening right now with them being seven and five. I'm 1169 00:54:31,600 --> 00:54:34,360 Speaker 1: just I'm happy for the Bears. I'm excited for that 1170 00:54:34,480 --> 00:54:36,279 Speaker 1: fan base. They've been fun to watch. 1171 00:54:36,560 --> 00:54:38,839 Speaker 3: You said at the beginning of this year, we need 1172 00:54:39,000 --> 00:54:41,720 Speaker 3: these kids in Chicago and in the suburb of Chicago 1173 00:54:41,800 --> 00:54:44,640 Speaker 3: to wear something other than I'm Mike Dick a jersey. 1174 00:54:45,080 --> 00:54:47,719 Speaker 3: And fortunately for all those parents out there. Next year, 1175 00:54:47,800 --> 00:54:50,160 Speaker 3: these kids are gonna have their fingernails painted. They're gonna 1176 00:54:50,160 --> 00:54:53,240 Speaker 3: be wearing Caleb william jerseys. And that's exciting. 1177 00:54:53,520 --> 00:54:55,800 Speaker 1: And just Coach Johnson, they've just been what have you 1178 00:54:55,880 --> 00:54:58,480 Speaker 1: made of the NFC North, the surgeons of the Chicago 1179 00:54:58,640 --> 00:55:02,040 Speaker 1: Bears being a half a game back, like they're sitting 1180 00:55:02,040 --> 00:55:04,399 Speaker 1: there both at the top, Detroit seven to five. 1181 00:55:06,760 --> 00:55:09,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean the Bears. I think everyone knew when 1182 00:55:09,480 --> 00:55:12,000 Speaker 2: Ben Johnson got that job, he was the bell of 1183 00:55:12,040 --> 00:55:14,320 Speaker 2: the ball, right, He's the coach no matter what anyone 1184 00:55:14,400 --> 00:55:16,640 Speaker 2: tells you. Over the last couple hiring cycles, as happy 1185 00:55:16,680 --> 00:55:20,160 Speaker 2: as they were to get whoever they hired, everybody wanted 1186 00:55:20,239 --> 00:55:24,120 Speaker 2: Ben Johnson, and then hired whoever they hired as a 1187 00:55:24,280 --> 00:55:27,440 Speaker 2: secondary third, you know, so on and so forth, he 1188 00:55:27,600 --> 00:55:30,319 Speaker 2: decided he's very picky. He ends up taking the job 1189 00:55:30,400 --> 00:55:32,800 Speaker 2: in Chicago this year, and I think that said a 1190 00:55:32,840 --> 00:55:35,120 Speaker 2: lot about what he viewed the roster, how he viewed 1191 00:55:35,200 --> 00:55:38,600 Speaker 2: Caleb Williams, how he felt they were built going forward. 1192 00:55:38,760 --> 00:55:41,000 Speaker 2: I think the expectation was that he was going to 1193 00:55:41,040 --> 00:55:43,000 Speaker 2: turn it around. We had them in the preseason game. 1194 00:55:43,040 --> 00:55:46,080 Speaker 2: We had their preseason game against Buffalo, a million year, 1195 00:55:46,120 --> 00:55:48,520 Speaker 2: you know, a million months ago, back in August, and 1196 00:55:48,880 --> 00:55:50,799 Speaker 2: there was a lot of optimism, a lot of hope, 1197 00:55:50,840 --> 00:55:53,160 Speaker 2: but there was also some reality, like, we got some 1198 00:55:53,280 --> 00:55:55,040 Speaker 2: work to do, we got to turn this thing around. 1199 00:55:55,120 --> 00:55:57,919 Speaker 2: It's not gonna happen overnight. I think it's happened even 1200 00:55:58,000 --> 00:56:00,360 Speaker 2: faster than they all And if they were being honest, 1201 00:56:00,480 --> 00:56:02,520 Speaker 2: like I think they thought they'd turned around, but I 1202 00:56:02,520 --> 00:56:04,400 Speaker 2: don't think they thought they'd turn it around this quickly 1203 00:56:04,480 --> 00:56:06,239 Speaker 2: that they'd be literally sitting at the top of the 1204 00:56:06,320 --> 00:56:10,320 Speaker 2: division on the first day of December. You know, I 1205 00:56:10,400 --> 00:56:12,920 Speaker 2: think we for a while, said Rabels, the foregone conclusion 1206 00:56:13,000 --> 00:56:15,040 Speaker 2: for Coach of the Year if this thing continues to 1207 00:56:15,160 --> 00:56:19,560 Speaker 2: go the Ben Johnson turn around, the Rabel turnaround. I mean, 1208 00:56:20,080 --> 00:56:23,440 Speaker 2: there's a lot of really interesting Coach of the Year candidates, 1209 00:56:23,480 --> 00:56:26,799 Speaker 2: but I mean Shanahan, I mean the job that he's 1210 00:56:26,880 --> 00:56:28,880 Speaker 2: done there keeping that thing afloat. I think when it 1211 00:56:28,960 --> 00:56:32,120 Speaker 2: all comes down to the division, it's crazy that the 1212 00:56:32,200 --> 00:56:34,200 Speaker 2: Lions might not be in the division. It shows the 1213 00:56:34,280 --> 00:56:37,080 Speaker 2: power of replacing coordinators year in in, year out, which 1214 00:56:37,120 --> 00:56:40,040 Speaker 2: is a whole other conversation about why you hire offensive 1215 00:56:40,080 --> 00:56:42,759 Speaker 2: coordinators to be your head coach, because you don't lose 1216 00:56:42,800 --> 00:56:46,480 Speaker 2: Sean McVay, you don't lose Kyle Shanahan. You do lose 1217 00:56:46,560 --> 00:56:50,200 Speaker 2: Ben Johnson. Dan Campbell's now taken back over. You know, 1218 00:56:50,440 --> 00:56:52,560 Speaker 2: it's hard to replace coordinators year in in, year out. 1219 00:56:52,880 --> 00:56:55,439 Speaker 2: They're dealing with that right now. I do think green 1220 00:56:55,520 --> 00:56:58,480 Speaker 2: Bay's defense is better. I think green Bay has the 1221 00:56:58,520 --> 00:57:02,360 Speaker 2: best combination of defense and quarterback in the division. So 1222 00:57:02,480 --> 00:57:05,880 Speaker 2: I would still take green Bay right now as whoever 1223 00:57:06,000 --> 00:57:08,160 Speaker 2: ends up being the one, two, three, however it shakes out, 1224 00:57:08,200 --> 00:57:10,360 Speaker 2: if they played each other, I'd take green Bay. I 1225 00:57:10,440 --> 00:57:12,920 Speaker 2: think Jordan Love's a top five quarterback this year. I 1226 00:57:13,000 --> 00:57:15,440 Speaker 2: think he's really good. I think as they continue to 1227 00:57:15,480 --> 00:57:19,080 Speaker 2: give the offense more to him, they'll have even better results, 1228 00:57:19,160 --> 00:57:23,280 Speaker 2: kind of like we saw in Thanksgiving. And I think defensively, 1229 00:57:23,320 --> 00:57:25,960 Speaker 2: Jeff Hathley has done an unbelievable job. That defense is 1230 00:57:26,040 --> 00:57:30,280 Speaker 2: really good. So I think that combination. But yeah, I mean, 1231 00:57:30,360 --> 00:57:32,680 Speaker 2: you can't not be impressed with the job that Ben Johnson, 1232 00:57:32,800 --> 00:57:35,760 Speaker 2: Caleb Williams. They're fun to watch. They're exciting. He's great 1233 00:57:35,800 --> 00:57:37,520 Speaker 2: in the locker room, he's taking his shirt off. They're 1234 00:57:37,520 --> 00:57:40,880 Speaker 2: giving free hot dogs out Chicago, right now is on fire. 1235 00:57:41,080 --> 00:57:43,840 Speaker 2: This is what Chicago people live for. I was there 1236 00:57:43,960 --> 00:57:45,840 Speaker 2: my last season there. We made a playoff run. We 1237 00:57:45,920 --> 00:57:48,880 Speaker 2: lost in the NFC Championship to the Packers. We beat 1238 00:57:49,000 --> 00:57:51,880 Speaker 2: Seattle at home in the snow in the Divisional round. Like, 1239 00:57:52,480 --> 00:57:56,120 Speaker 2: there is no greater football city, especially when they're good 1240 00:57:56,200 --> 00:57:56,800 Speaker 2: than Chicago. 1241 00:57:57,160 --> 00:58:00,360 Speaker 1: Yeah. God, we could be looking at you know, these 1242 00:58:00,400 --> 00:58:02,040 Speaker 1: teams playing for a playoff spot at the end of 1243 00:58:02,040 --> 00:58:04,560 Speaker 1: the year. You got Chicago with Green Bay twice, Cincinnati 1244 00:58:04,640 --> 00:58:07,840 Speaker 1: and San Francisco, then Detroit, they played Dallas, the Rams, 1245 00:58:07,920 --> 00:58:09,840 Speaker 1: Pittsburgh and Minnesota, and then the last game of the 1246 00:58:09,920 --> 00:58:10,680 Speaker 1: year they face off. 1247 00:58:10,880 --> 00:58:14,440 Speaker 3: And it's so interesting that, like in early October or 1248 00:58:14,640 --> 00:58:16,680 Speaker 3: late October, we're kind of sitting there like all these 1249 00:58:16,760 --> 00:58:18,800 Speaker 3: teams are kind of figuring themselves out, and we kind 1250 00:58:18,840 --> 00:58:20,600 Speaker 3: of know who the cream that's rising the top is 1251 00:58:20,680 --> 00:58:23,120 Speaker 3: at this very moment. And then a month has gone 1252 00:58:23,240 --> 00:58:26,280 Speaker 3: by and the Bears are the one seed, the Pats 1253 00:58:26,320 --> 00:58:30,240 Speaker 3: are the one seed. The Jaguars just leapfrogged over the 1254 00:58:30,320 --> 00:58:33,960 Speaker 3: Colts in the South. Colts and Jags are tied with 1255 00:58:34,080 --> 00:58:36,600 Speaker 3: Jacks at the tiebreaker, and the Houston Texans are one 1256 00:58:36,680 --> 00:58:40,800 Speaker 3: game behind. It is there's so much relevant football about 1257 00:58:40,840 --> 00:58:43,400 Speaker 3: to take place in the month of December to where 1258 00:58:43,400 --> 00:58:47,360 Speaker 3: it's dude, really, it's actually so fucking exciting, do you see. 1259 00:58:48,160 --> 00:58:49,640 Speaker 3: I'll tell you how I feel, and I love each 1260 00:58:49,680 --> 00:58:53,400 Speaker 3: your opinion. I feel this skid from the Colts this 1261 00:58:53,600 --> 00:58:55,920 Speaker 3: late in the season is the worst possible situation, and 1262 00:58:55,960 --> 00:58:58,400 Speaker 3: they're going to find themselves third place in the AFC South. 1263 00:58:58,880 --> 00:59:01,800 Speaker 3: It's it's always with the teams that are gaining traction 1264 00:59:01,920 --> 00:59:04,560 Speaker 3: and momentum as a season goes on, as opposed to 1265 00:59:04,640 --> 00:59:06,680 Speaker 3: super hot starts, because more oftentimes than not, like we 1266 00:59:06,720 --> 00:59:08,400 Speaker 3: saw with the Eagles a couple of years, you see 1267 00:59:08,440 --> 00:59:12,080 Speaker 3: a really hot start and then that absolute plummet nosedive 1268 00:59:12,360 --> 00:59:14,560 Speaker 3: at the end of the year, maybe limp yourself away 1269 00:59:14,560 --> 00:59:16,600 Speaker 3: into the playoffs, and then you're out after the wildcard round. 1270 00:59:17,040 --> 00:59:19,240 Speaker 3: I see that happening with the Colts, and I actually 1271 00:59:19,280 --> 00:59:22,520 Speaker 3: see the Houston Texans with that defense. I see them 1272 00:59:22,600 --> 00:59:23,240 Speaker 3: winning the South. 1273 00:59:24,640 --> 00:59:28,880 Speaker 2: Love that Houston Texans defense is insane, credible. I mean 1274 00:59:28,960 --> 00:59:31,160 Speaker 2: what they did to Josh Allen in Buffalo a couple 1275 00:59:31,240 --> 00:59:34,160 Speaker 2: weeks ago was I mean, what they sacked him eight times. 1276 00:59:34,880 --> 00:59:38,520 Speaker 2: He's virtually impossible to sack let alone eight times. 1277 00:59:38,520 --> 00:59:39,880 Speaker 3: Sack zero times his last game. 1278 00:59:40,280 --> 00:59:43,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean he's I mean, obviously he's incredible. I 1279 00:59:43,280 --> 00:59:47,600 Speaker 2: think that Houston Texans front is incredible. Tamiko Ryans that culture, 1280 00:59:47,640 --> 00:59:51,840 Speaker 2: their offense scares me. I just I don't ever see 1281 00:59:51,960 --> 00:59:54,320 Speaker 2: them now. I haven't studied them. I haven't had them 1282 00:59:54,360 --> 00:59:54,680 Speaker 2: this year. 1283 00:59:54,840 --> 00:59:55,880 Speaker 1: So this is all. 1284 00:59:55,920 --> 00:59:59,000 Speaker 2: He's just like a fan watching in secondary game, crossover 1285 00:59:59,080 --> 01:00:02,480 Speaker 2: film and whatnot. But I just haven't seen an offense 1286 01:00:02,520 --> 01:00:05,880 Speaker 2: that I go okay on any given day. If they 1287 01:00:06,080 --> 01:00:09,520 Speaker 2: gotta score high twenties and they got to score thirty, like, 1288 01:00:09,640 --> 01:00:14,800 Speaker 2: can they do that reasonable without strip sacks, without pick sixes? 1289 01:00:14,880 --> 01:00:17,120 Speaker 2: Like can they just play in a neutral game and 1290 01:00:17,280 --> 01:00:19,720 Speaker 2: do enough that the defense doesn't have to hold people 1291 01:00:19,840 --> 01:00:23,680 Speaker 2: to fifteen seventeen. You're gonna play some really good offenses 1292 01:00:24,440 --> 01:00:26,959 Speaker 2: and at some point you can't just beat everybody because 1293 01:00:27,000 --> 01:00:29,600 Speaker 2: you hold them under twenty. So I think that's gonna 1294 01:00:29,600 --> 01:00:34,400 Speaker 2: be the case big picture wise for Houston. But yeah, 1295 01:00:34,440 --> 01:00:37,200 Speaker 2: I mean, who would have ever thought that the Patriots 1296 01:00:37,200 --> 01:00:39,120 Speaker 2: would be the number one seed as we sit here 1297 01:00:39,160 --> 01:00:41,480 Speaker 2: in December and the Bears would be in the NFCL. 1298 01:00:41,800 --> 01:00:44,560 Speaker 2: It's just that's what makes the game so fun. That's 1299 01:00:44,600 --> 01:00:47,560 Speaker 2: what makes the NFL king. Is unlike the other sports 1300 01:00:47,560 --> 01:00:50,120 Speaker 2: where you could pretty much throw a couple teams into 1301 01:00:50,160 --> 01:00:51,880 Speaker 2: a hat and know those are gonna be the teams 1302 01:00:52,160 --> 01:00:54,720 Speaker 2: when the season ends. What's king about football? What's the 1303 01:00:54,760 --> 01:00:57,800 Speaker 2: best part about football is outside of a couple teams 1304 01:00:57,840 --> 01:01:02,640 Speaker 2: that are perennially bad, virtually everybody has a realistic chance. 1305 01:01:02,760 --> 01:01:05,280 Speaker 2: And if you're bad one year, the league is set 1306 01:01:05,360 --> 01:01:07,880 Speaker 2: up for you to get better quickly. That is the 1307 01:01:08,120 --> 01:01:10,920 Speaker 2: entire motive of every decision, from how they do schedules, 1308 01:01:10,960 --> 01:01:12,720 Speaker 2: to how they do draft order, to how they do 1309 01:01:13,280 --> 01:01:16,040 Speaker 2: a waiver you know, the waiver wire pre trade deadline, 1310 01:01:16,080 --> 01:01:19,760 Speaker 2: of inverting the teams like it is built to not 1311 01:01:19,960 --> 01:01:23,120 Speaker 2: sustain winning and is built to not sustain losing. And 1312 01:01:23,200 --> 01:01:26,000 Speaker 2: I think that is what gives all these fan bases 1313 01:01:26,040 --> 01:01:29,000 Speaker 2: the optimism going into each year that I'm alive until 1314 01:01:29,520 --> 01:01:33,080 Speaker 2: I'm not and that's what makes the game fun. 1315 01:01:33,640 --> 01:01:36,520 Speaker 3: Yeah, hearing you say this league is not built to 1316 01:01:36,520 --> 01:01:38,480 Speaker 3: sustained winning it and not sustained losing. We have to 1317 01:01:38,520 --> 01:01:40,400 Speaker 3: take a look at the tens of Titans and realize 1318 01:01:41,040 --> 01:01:43,760 Speaker 3: their level of consistency that they have losing as much 1319 01:01:43,800 --> 01:01:45,920 Speaker 3: as they do should be awarded. It should be we 1320 01:01:45,960 --> 01:01:48,520 Speaker 3: should appreciate that because not a lot of teams can 1321 01:01:48,640 --> 01:01:51,440 Speaker 3: have back to back first overall picks, and I think 1322 01:01:51,480 --> 01:01:52,600 Speaker 3: that's something that we need to look at. 1323 01:01:52,760 --> 01:01:57,120 Speaker 2: Huh, it's it's it's almost hard to do right, right, 1324 01:01:57,200 --> 01:02:01,840 Speaker 2: I mean right. The league is literally designed to not 1325 01:02:02,720 --> 01:02:05,560 Speaker 2: have that happen. So the teams, the organizations that find 1326 01:02:05,600 --> 01:02:09,240 Speaker 2: themselves on either side. Obviously, the high side is the 1327 01:02:09,440 --> 01:02:12,560 Speaker 2: legendary teams and the legendary coaches and quarterbacks and all that. 1328 01:02:13,120 --> 01:02:14,600 Speaker 2: But then on the flip side, you have to look 1329 01:02:14,640 --> 01:02:17,760 Speaker 2: as an organization and say, obviously, there's something flawed about 1330 01:02:17,760 --> 01:02:19,840 Speaker 2: our decision making. We're not hiring the right guys. We're 1331 01:02:19,880 --> 01:02:21,600 Speaker 2: not drafting the right guys. Although I do think cam 1332 01:02:21,680 --> 01:02:26,240 Speaker 2: Ward's good, there's something broken down about our process that 1333 01:02:26,800 --> 01:02:29,000 Speaker 2: no matter how many opportunities, no matter how many fourth 1334 01:02:29,360 --> 01:02:32,160 Speaker 2: place schedules we play, no matter how many high draft 1335 01:02:32,200 --> 01:02:34,280 Speaker 2: picks we get, no matter how many coaches we fire 1336 01:02:34,360 --> 01:02:39,560 Speaker 2: and hire, we are the same every single year. Regardless 1337 01:02:39,600 --> 01:02:43,680 Speaker 2: of those moves. There's institutional issues at play that until 1338 01:02:43,680 --> 01:02:46,360 Speaker 2: they get fixed, the results are not going to change. 1339 01:02:46,360 --> 01:02:48,400 Speaker 2: You can hire whoever you want. 1340 01:02:49,200 --> 01:02:53,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's yeah, especially with the quarterback play too in 1341 01:02:53,400 --> 01:02:56,000 Speaker 1: the AFC, it's just again, week after week, it's like 1342 01:02:56,480 --> 01:03:00,160 Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson, Patrick Mahomes, Josh Allen, Joe Burrow, who's going 1343 01:03:00,200 --> 01:03:01,840 Speaker 1: to earn their way into the Super Bowl this year? 1344 01:03:01,960 --> 01:03:04,600 Speaker 1: And right now where everybody's position, it's who's going to 1345 01:03:04,640 --> 01:03:05,400 Speaker 1: make the wild card? 1346 01:03:05,800 --> 01:03:08,919 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think we're facing the guys you just brought 1347 01:03:08,960 --> 01:03:11,600 Speaker 2: up with. I think is a really interesting larger conversation 1348 01:03:11,680 --> 01:03:14,400 Speaker 2: around the NFL that people have to start having, is 1349 01:03:16,120 --> 01:03:18,360 Speaker 2: you talk about all these quarterbacks that are making sixty 1350 01:03:18,440 --> 01:03:22,480 Speaker 2: million plus. There's a lot of warts on those rosters, right, 1351 01:03:22,560 --> 01:03:25,000 Speaker 2: there's a lot of you know, you look at Buffalo, 1352 01:03:25,800 --> 01:03:27,919 Speaker 2: you know they're they're they're making magic, but it looks 1353 01:03:28,040 --> 01:03:31,080 Speaker 2: very different right over the receivers, what's their skill? Look 1354 01:03:31,200 --> 01:03:33,320 Speaker 2: like their defense? They're kind of piecing it together. And 1355 01:03:33,360 --> 01:03:35,080 Speaker 2: I think mcdermot's a really good coach, and you got 1356 01:03:35,080 --> 01:03:37,960 Speaker 2: the best player in the league and you make you 1357 01:03:38,080 --> 01:03:39,000 Speaker 2: kind of overcome it. 1358 01:03:39,120 --> 01:03:39,200 Speaker 7: Right. 1359 01:03:39,280 --> 01:03:41,680 Speaker 2: That's why you pay Josh Allen whatever it costs, because 1360 01:03:41,720 --> 01:03:44,640 Speaker 2: he's going to make up for whatever roster deficiencies that 1361 01:03:44,760 --> 01:03:48,120 Speaker 2: you have. But you start looking around the league. What 1362 01:03:48,320 --> 01:03:50,680 Speaker 2: do the best teams have? Right, you start looking at right, 1363 01:03:50,840 --> 01:03:53,080 Speaker 2: just take this year, who are the best teams and 1364 01:03:53,120 --> 01:03:54,480 Speaker 2: what's their quarterback situation? 1365 01:03:55,240 --> 01:03:55,360 Speaker 4: Right? 1366 01:03:55,440 --> 01:03:55,680 Speaker 1: You have. 1367 01:04:00,440 --> 01:04:02,680 Speaker 2: You have guys like Sam Darnold and Baker Mayfield that 1368 01:04:02,760 --> 01:04:06,080 Speaker 2: are making thirty million a year. It's half the market, right, 1369 01:04:06,160 --> 01:04:09,960 Speaker 2: it's fifty percent of the market. Now Stafford makes a bazillion, 1370 01:04:10,000 --> 01:04:12,320 Speaker 2: and obviously he's earning it. And why what's the difference? 1371 01:04:12,640 --> 01:04:15,080 Speaker 2: Virtually everyone else on the team is on a rookie. 1372 01:04:14,880 --> 01:04:17,760 Speaker 1: Contract, right, yeah? The line, Yeah, if you're. 1373 01:04:17,680 --> 01:04:20,320 Speaker 2: Gonna pay your quarterback a bazillion, you better be an 1374 01:04:20,400 --> 01:04:24,120 Speaker 2: incredible drafter. And then if you're paying your quarterback nothing, 1375 01:04:24,280 --> 01:04:27,120 Speaker 2: if you draft and sign great free agents because you 1376 01:04:27,200 --> 01:04:30,080 Speaker 2: have all this excess capital, you build great rosters. So 1377 01:04:30,600 --> 01:04:32,560 Speaker 2: it's starting to say, if you're gonna tie up such 1378 01:04:32,560 --> 01:04:35,439 Speaker 2: a huge percentage in your quarterback and make them high level, 1379 01:04:35,880 --> 01:04:40,160 Speaker 2: if you are not incredible drafters of young, cheap talent, 1380 01:04:41,840 --> 01:04:43,800 Speaker 2: it's gonna be really hard. You're gonna be good just 1381 01:04:43,840 --> 01:04:46,000 Speaker 2: because you have a great quarterback, But are you gonna 1382 01:04:46,040 --> 01:04:46,840 Speaker 2: win the Super Bowl? 1383 01:04:47,320 --> 01:04:47,440 Speaker 4: Right? 1384 01:04:47,680 --> 01:04:47,840 Speaker 3: Right? 1385 01:04:48,800 --> 01:04:50,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, you got a. 1386 01:04:50,480 --> 01:04:52,480 Speaker 2: Lot of high priced quarterbacks that are on the outside 1387 01:04:52,520 --> 01:04:52,880 Speaker 2: looking in. 1388 01:04:54,320 --> 01:04:56,280 Speaker 3: Yeah, do you think there's a change there. You're trying 1389 01:04:56,280 --> 01:04:58,480 Speaker 3: to say that some of these quarterbacks, No, it might 1390 01:04:58,520 --> 01:05:00,520 Speaker 3: not be on their team next year, you. 1391 01:05:00,640 --> 01:05:02,080 Speaker 2: Know what I mean? Like they're on the outside of 1392 01:05:02,120 --> 01:05:03,160 Speaker 2: the playoffs looking. 1393 01:05:02,960 --> 01:05:05,920 Speaker 3: In, right, Yeah. Yeah, and because of that result, does 1394 01:05:06,000 --> 01:05:06,600 Speaker 3: something happened? 1395 01:05:06,920 --> 01:05:07,080 Speaker 1: Yeah? 1396 01:05:07,080 --> 01:05:08,200 Speaker 2: I just don't know how you get out of some 1397 01:05:08,280 --> 01:05:11,680 Speaker 2: of these contracts. That's true, the dead money cap hits. Again, 1398 01:05:11,720 --> 01:05:13,680 Speaker 2: I haven't studied them all, but like I have to 1399 01:05:13,760 --> 01:05:17,440 Speaker 2: imagine some of that guaranteed money gets expedited by a 1400 01:05:17,560 --> 01:05:20,320 Speaker 2: trade or a cut or whatever, and it accelerates forward. 1401 01:05:20,360 --> 01:05:22,600 Speaker 2: You're gonna be carrying dead cap money. I can only 1402 01:05:22,600 --> 01:05:23,840 Speaker 2: imagine how big those numbers are. 1403 01:05:23,840 --> 01:05:27,880 Speaker 3: The Broncos are still paying Russell Wilson right now, still 1404 01:05:27,920 --> 01:05:30,560 Speaker 3: paying him his dead cap money. Oh really from that trade, 1405 01:05:30,600 --> 01:05:31,000 Speaker 3: I believe. 1406 01:05:31,080 --> 01:05:31,120 Speaker 1: So. 1407 01:05:31,360 --> 01:05:32,880 Speaker 3: I mean, I definitely need to get fact checks on that. 1408 01:05:32,960 --> 01:05:34,600 Speaker 2: Lingers for a long time because they I mean, they 1409 01:05:34,640 --> 01:05:36,520 Speaker 2: gave him that new deal and it only lasted one. 1410 01:05:36,520 --> 01:05:40,480 Speaker 8: Season, right, right, and he had multiple years of guaranteed Yeah, 1411 01:05:41,160 --> 01:05:43,160 Speaker 8: we got a fun December getting lined up, and then 1412 01:05:43,200 --> 01:05:45,240 Speaker 8: it seems like it could be an interesting offseason with 1413 01:05:45,360 --> 01:05:47,600 Speaker 8: restructuring of kind of like you look at Dallas like 1414 01:05:47,640 --> 01:05:49,240 Speaker 8: they're gonna have to do something with dex contract. 1415 01:05:49,360 --> 01:05:50,800 Speaker 1: So that way, if you're going to try and pay 1416 01:05:50,840 --> 01:05:53,600 Speaker 1: George Pickens and keep this roster, you know, the trades 1417 01:05:53,640 --> 01:05:56,760 Speaker 1: you made with Williams, you got Kenny Clark like guys 1418 01:05:56,800 --> 01:05:58,600 Speaker 1: that are just gonna have to You're able to figure 1419 01:05:58,600 --> 01:06:00,320 Speaker 1: out the cap situation because there were like have any 1420 01:06:00,360 --> 01:06:00,880 Speaker 1: something million? 1421 01:06:01,680 --> 01:06:03,680 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a chef that was saying they're about seventy 1422 01:06:03,720 --> 01:06:05,920 Speaker 3: million over the cap right now, and so you have 1423 01:06:06,080 --> 01:06:09,880 Speaker 3: to redo Dak there's sixty you're still ten under the cap, 1424 01:06:09,960 --> 01:06:11,800 Speaker 3: and you want to resign Quinnon, you want to re 1425 01:06:11,920 --> 01:06:15,600 Speaker 3: sign George Pickens. You've got to go get players to 1426 01:06:15,640 --> 01:06:19,240 Speaker 3: make your defense better. So they're in a very unique situation. 1427 01:06:19,360 --> 01:06:21,880 Speaker 3: The good news is the Cowboys have a shitload of money. Yeah, 1428 01:06:22,120 --> 01:06:27,920 Speaker 3: they're they're very they're cash rich franchise as opposed to 1429 01:06:28,400 --> 01:06:32,040 Speaker 3: the Titans or the Bengals. Bengals we barely talked about them, 1430 01:06:32,040 --> 01:06:34,000 Speaker 3: but Joey Bee coming back beating up on the Ravens, like, 1431 01:06:34,440 --> 01:06:35,840 Speaker 3: are they going to be a team that can maybe 1432 01:06:35,880 --> 01:06:39,560 Speaker 3: sneak themselves in Why not every year in December? 1433 01:06:39,880 --> 01:06:43,040 Speaker 2: Do you really I got Bengals Buffalo in Buffalo on Sunday. 1434 01:06:43,480 --> 01:06:44,960 Speaker 3: That's going to be an awesome game. 1435 01:06:45,200 --> 01:06:50,080 Speaker 2: Burrow, It's supposed to snow twenty degrees snow, burrowvers Allan. 1436 01:06:50,160 --> 01:06:53,600 Speaker 2: I mean, I know the record of Cincinnati is not great, 1437 01:06:53,640 --> 01:06:55,600 Speaker 2: but I mean, you get those two guys playing a 1438 01:06:55,680 --> 01:06:59,200 Speaker 2: December game in Buffalo, and that's that's amazing television. 1439 01:06:59,280 --> 01:07:02,400 Speaker 1: Yeah. Matically, it's an absolutely must win for the Bengals. 1440 01:07:02,440 --> 01:07:03,480 Speaker 1: As far as player, what. 1441 01:07:03,600 --> 01:07:05,720 Speaker 2: Is the Bengals, I'll be honest, I haven't dove into 1442 01:07:05,760 --> 01:07:08,760 Speaker 2: it yet. What is the Bengals still have a realistic chance. 1443 01:07:08,960 --> 01:07:12,120 Speaker 1: Yeah. So Baltimore and Pittsburgh are both six and six 1444 01:07:12,240 --> 01:07:15,520 Speaker 1: and the Bengals are four and eight. So two games 1445 01:07:15,560 --> 01:07:17,880 Speaker 1: back Baltimore and the Ravens, they both play each other 1446 01:07:17,960 --> 01:07:21,840 Speaker 1: twice in December. Baltimore's got Cincinnati, New England, and Green 1447 01:07:21,960 --> 01:07:26,440 Speaker 1: Bay outside of playing the Steelers twice. Pittsburgh's got Miami, Detroit, 1448 01:07:26,640 --> 01:07:29,240 Speaker 1: and Cincinnati last game of the year outside of playing 1449 01:07:29,240 --> 01:07:31,720 Speaker 1: the Ravens twice. And then you got Cincinnati, who they're 1450 01:07:31,720 --> 01:07:34,400 Speaker 1: sitting at four and eight. They got Buffalo, they got Baltimore, 1451 01:07:34,600 --> 01:07:38,720 Speaker 1: they got the Miami Dolphins, Arizona Cardinals in Cincinnati are 1452 01:07:40,120 --> 01:07:43,480 Speaker 1: Pittsburgh to cap off the year? Yeah, so if they do, 1453 01:07:44,920 --> 01:07:47,440 Speaker 1: they do. But that's the schedule you'd want to see, right, Like, 1454 01:07:47,520 --> 01:07:52,040 Speaker 1: obviously the Cincinnati's got Buffalo this weekend, then it's Baltimore, 1455 01:07:52,520 --> 01:07:56,240 Speaker 1: then the Miami Dolphins, the Arizona Cardinals, and then the 1456 01:07:56,560 --> 01:08:00,520 Speaker 1: Pittsburgh Steelers. So they have a schedule you want as 1457 01:08:00,520 --> 01:08:02,120 Speaker 1: long as you take care, you know, you can knock 1458 01:08:02,200 --> 01:08:04,920 Speaker 1: off Buffalo this weekend. And then again, it's like you 1459 01:08:04,960 --> 01:08:07,360 Speaker 1: look at Baltimore. Outside of them playing each other twice, 1460 01:08:07,600 --> 01:08:09,640 Speaker 1: Baltimore is gonna have to play New England in Green Bay, 1461 01:08:09,920 --> 01:08:14,080 Speaker 1: and Pittsburgh's gonna have to play Detroit. They also have Miami. 1462 01:08:14,160 --> 01:08:17,240 Speaker 1: But then again, you in the year with Cincinnati, Miami's 1463 01:08:17,240 --> 01:08:17,680 Speaker 1: gotten better. 1464 01:08:18,960 --> 01:08:22,639 Speaker 3: Yeah, they had a crazy game against the Saints this weekend. 1465 01:08:23,400 --> 01:08:25,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, Miami has been playing with some juice ever since 1466 01:08:25,439 --> 01:08:28,080 Speaker 1: they they made the move on the GM. 1467 01:08:27,960 --> 01:08:30,200 Speaker 2: Right, right, which is so odd, Like what did fire 1468 01:08:30,240 --> 01:08:30,719 Speaker 2: in the GEM? 1469 01:08:31,240 --> 01:08:33,720 Speaker 3: I know, I think we've talked about the show. I 1470 01:08:33,840 --> 01:08:36,960 Speaker 3: kind of I'm a fan of that move of doing 1471 01:08:37,000 --> 01:08:39,599 Speaker 3: the GM with the thought process of like what are 1472 01:08:39,600 --> 01:08:41,160 Speaker 3: you gonna fire a head coach in the middle of 1473 01:08:41,200 --> 01:08:43,640 Speaker 3: the year, right, if they're probably going to at the 1474 01:08:43,680 --> 01:08:46,120 Speaker 3: end of the year, then you find a GM and 1475 01:08:46,560 --> 01:08:48,599 Speaker 3: a head coach that are aligned with each other, because 1476 01:08:48,600 --> 01:08:51,679 Speaker 3: how many times do you see a GM get hired, 1477 01:08:51,840 --> 01:08:54,160 Speaker 3: he brings in the head coach, head coach gets fired, 1478 01:08:54,280 --> 01:08:56,280 Speaker 3: new GM comes in, but then they have it's just 1479 01:08:56,479 --> 01:09:01,840 Speaker 3: always the same revolving door of no continuity. It's kind 1480 01:09:01,840 --> 01:09:03,479 Speaker 3: of what you see the Titans kind of going right now, 1481 01:09:03,560 --> 01:09:05,720 Speaker 3: they're kind of one piece missing, and by the time 1482 01:09:05,760 --> 01:09:08,200 Speaker 3: they get another piece in, that's this guy's guy. He's 1483 01:09:08,240 --> 01:09:10,879 Speaker 3: getting kicked out. And so with the with the Dolphins, 1484 01:09:11,000 --> 01:09:12,599 Speaker 3: what you do is you get rid of the top dog. 1485 01:09:13,000 --> 01:09:15,360 Speaker 3: You say, hey, we haven't drafted good enough. We're gonna 1486 01:09:15,360 --> 01:09:16,560 Speaker 3: get you out of there. Let's find out who the 1487 01:09:16,680 --> 01:09:19,360 Speaker 3: right GM is, bring that guy in, and then you're 1488 01:09:19,400 --> 01:09:22,600 Speaker 3: making decisions top down, and so it's more the foundationally, 1489 01:09:22,640 --> 01:09:23,519 Speaker 3: it's a better structure. 1490 01:09:24,360 --> 01:09:26,040 Speaker 2: Do you think it's a wark on conclusion that they 1491 01:09:26,120 --> 01:09:27,360 Speaker 2: fire McDaniel. 1492 01:09:27,520 --> 01:09:29,840 Speaker 3: I think three four weeks ago we were saying that 1493 01:09:30,120 --> 01:09:33,599 Speaker 3: now spicy, So it's like, yeah, if. 1494 01:09:33,560 --> 01:09:35,880 Speaker 2: He finishes the year strong and they don't fire him, 1495 01:09:35,920 --> 01:09:38,200 Speaker 2: now they're just back to it hiring a GM who 1496 01:09:38,400 --> 01:09:41,599 Speaker 2: doesn't have his coach, and it's your situation you're saying, 1497 01:09:41,640 --> 01:09:45,040 Speaker 2: I completely agree. It's the same thing coach and quarterback. Like, 1498 01:09:45,080 --> 01:09:48,080 Speaker 2: how many times do we see a coach is struggling, 1499 01:09:48,160 --> 01:09:50,240 Speaker 2: he's got the top overall pick, he takes the top 1500 01:09:50,320 --> 01:09:54,000 Speaker 2: overall pick, he gets fired midseason, and they just continue 1501 01:09:54,040 --> 01:09:56,439 Speaker 2: to never have The Bears have done it, the Titans 1502 01:09:56,479 --> 01:09:59,000 Speaker 2: have done it, the Jaguars have done it. And it 1503 01:09:59,080 --> 01:10:01,639 Speaker 2: feels like if you draft the first overall quarterback, you're 1504 01:10:01,760 --> 01:10:03,360 Speaker 2: gonna get fired in first year. 1505 01:10:04,280 --> 01:10:04,960 Speaker 3: No, I agree with that. 1506 01:10:05,160 --> 01:10:07,040 Speaker 2: I think this is I know, I agree with your point. 1507 01:10:07,040 --> 01:10:09,160 Speaker 2: It'd be interesting to see how Miami handles it because 1508 01:10:09,200 --> 01:10:12,840 Speaker 2: if if they finish strong, they don't fire them. It's 1509 01:10:12,880 --> 01:10:14,280 Speaker 2: the situation you laid out. 1510 01:10:14,200 --> 01:10:17,439 Speaker 3: That what is finish strong? Though, Sorry, I was just 1511 01:10:17,520 --> 01:10:19,160 Speaker 3: gonna say, you got to the playoffs. 1512 01:10:19,320 --> 01:10:22,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, you got to assume that when they fired the 1513 01:10:22,960 --> 01:10:25,760 Speaker 1: GM that in their mind McDaniel's gonna be next at 1514 01:10:25,760 --> 01:10:27,320 Speaker 1: the end of the year, and the way that they 1515 01:10:27,360 --> 01:10:29,400 Speaker 1: were kind of up and down, all the things that 1516 01:10:29,520 --> 01:10:32,320 Speaker 1: was coming out with, like you know, press conference's leadership, 1517 01:10:32,439 --> 01:10:34,800 Speaker 1: all those question marks. But now you're sitting back and 1518 01:10:34,880 --> 01:10:38,439 Speaker 1: watching this team play with some jews, play with some energy, 1519 01:10:38,600 --> 01:10:41,639 Speaker 1: win football games, play for you know, you could say 1520 01:10:41,680 --> 01:10:43,519 Speaker 1: the head coach play for each other all that stuff. 1521 01:10:43,520 --> 01:10:45,360 Speaker 1: If you're Miami, you're kind of like, shit, you kind 1522 01:10:45,400 --> 01:10:47,439 Speaker 1: of you kind of don't want it going this way 1523 01:10:47,560 --> 01:10:49,600 Speaker 1: if your playing was to fire McDaniels at the end 1524 01:10:49,600 --> 01:10:49,960 Speaker 1: of the year. 1525 01:10:50,280 --> 01:10:52,320 Speaker 3: So I don't know what the finish strong looks, like, 1526 01:10:53,560 --> 01:10:54,640 Speaker 3: what is their record right now? 1527 01:10:54,680 --> 01:10:57,200 Speaker 1: Do we know? We probably find it pretty quick? 1528 01:10:57,960 --> 01:11:00,559 Speaker 3: Yeah, because they're not gonna win the division. The Patriots 1529 01:11:00,560 --> 01:11:02,880 Speaker 3: are gonna win the division. Yeah, they're like what two 1530 01:11:02,920 --> 01:11:05,120 Speaker 3: games away from walking that up, having't that be done? 1531 01:11:05,920 --> 01:11:10,400 Speaker 3: They're five and seven right now, yeah, just not making 1532 01:11:10,479 --> 01:11:13,040 Speaker 3: the playoffs, Like yeah, so making the playoffs I would 1533 01:11:13,080 --> 01:11:16,000 Speaker 3: probably lean on. Yeah, Like, if your decision making was 1534 01:11:16,120 --> 01:11:18,200 Speaker 3: fire the GM knowing that at the end of the 1535 01:11:18,280 --> 01:11:20,519 Speaker 3: year we're going to fire McDaniels, I don't think that 1536 01:11:20,600 --> 01:11:21,400 Speaker 3: plan has changed. 1537 01:11:21,680 --> 01:11:25,280 Speaker 2: If that's the last couple of weeks, cloud that right, right, 1538 01:11:25,479 --> 01:11:27,240 Speaker 2: If that was your decision, maybe it wasn't. 1539 01:11:27,360 --> 01:11:29,479 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean they're four they're five and seven, but 1540 01:11:29,560 --> 01:11:31,960 Speaker 1: they're four and one in their last five Yeah, and 1541 01:11:32,080 --> 01:11:36,840 Speaker 1: they got the Jets, the Steelers, Bengals, Bucks, and Patriots 1542 01:11:36,880 --> 01:11:37,680 Speaker 1: to round out the Earth. 1543 01:11:37,680 --> 01:11:38,920 Speaker 3: Didn't the Jets just beat the Falcons. 1544 01:11:39,040 --> 01:11:40,559 Speaker 2: They could win four of those five games. 1545 01:11:40,600 --> 01:11:42,519 Speaker 1: They can win for those five, then you're kind of. 1546 01:11:42,600 --> 01:11:47,040 Speaker 2: A one step further. If the Patriots have locked up 1547 01:11:47,080 --> 01:11:50,160 Speaker 2: the one seed, they could win all five of those 1548 01:11:50,200 --> 01:11:52,280 Speaker 2: games because they might not even have to play the starters. 1549 01:11:52,400 --> 01:11:54,880 Speaker 1: Yes, eight, Yeah, you go nine and one in your 1550 01:11:54,960 --> 01:11:57,439 Speaker 1: last ten since you fired the GM, who knows what 1551 01:11:57,560 --> 01:11:57,920 Speaker 1: it looks like. 1552 01:11:58,000 --> 01:11:59,559 Speaker 2: You know, nine and one. I don't care if they 1553 01:11:59,600 --> 01:12:01,439 Speaker 2: don't make the playoffs with ten wins or not. You 1554 01:12:01,560 --> 01:12:03,439 Speaker 2: go nine and one over your last ten, you're not 1555 01:12:03,479 --> 01:12:04,000 Speaker 2: getting fired. 1556 01:12:04,160 --> 01:12:07,160 Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree. I agree. But it goes back to 1557 01:12:08,320 --> 01:12:10,439 Speaker 3: kind of like our analytics talk where it's all about, 1558 01:12:10,520 --> 01:12:13,040 Speaker 3: like you to play safe, you're going to play aggressive. 1559 01:12:13,160 --> 01:12:15,919 Speaker 3: Like if you are the owner of the Miami Dolphins, 1560 01:12:15,960 --> 01:12:18,120 Speaker 3: are you sitting there and saying McDaniel's the guy that's 1561 01:12:18,120 --> 01:12:19,760 Speaker 3: gonna get a Super Bowl? The answer needs to be 1562 01:12:19,840 --> 01:12:21,240 Speaker 3: a yesterday no answer, black or white. 1563 01:12:21,320 --> 01:12:21,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree. 1564 01:12:22,000 --> 01:12:25,080 Speaker 3: If the answer is no, then the result of the 1565 01:12:25,120 --> 01:12:26,400 Speaker 3: rest of the year should not matter. 1566 01:12:27,160 --> 01:12:29,040 Speaker 2: Oh I no, I agree. I'm not saying it's what 1567 01:12:29,120 --> 01:12:31,320 Speaker 2: I would do. I just the way we all know 1568 01:12:31,439 --> 01:12:34,759 Speaker 2: the NFL and the way these these owners and are 1569 01:12:34,760 --> 01:12:39,040 Speaker 2: all risk averse. It's just so much easier to stand 1570 01:12:39,080 --> 01:12:42,200 Speaker 2: at the podium and say he finished nine and one. 1571 01:12:42,400 --> 01:12:45,120 Speaker 2: We love the way our teams responded, we love this. 1572 01:12:45,720 --> 01:12:49,519 Speaker 2: It's an easier press conference. Yeah, And to ignore that 1573 01:12:49,880 --> 01:12:54,120 Speaker 2: people make decisions based on public reaction and based on 1574 01:12:54,240 --> 01:12:58,120 Speaker 2: press conferences is naive because they one hundred percent due. 1575 01:12:58,160 --> 01:13:01,519 Speaker 2: They're humans. People don't like articism, people don't like to 1576 01:13:01,600 --> 01:13:04,400 Speaker 2: stand up there and take bullets. And whether it's a coach, 1577 01:13:04,520 --> 01:13:08,360 Speaker 2: an owner, a GM, whatever it is, path of least 1578 01:13:08,400 --> 01:13:10,840 Speaker 2: resistance is very common in the NFL. 1579 01:13:11,040 --> 01:13:15,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, no, good point. We got Ryan Day coming on 1580 01:13:15,160 --> 01:13:17,320 Speaker 1: in two minutes. Greg, you're the man. I know you're 1581 01:13:17,320 --> 01:13:19,360 Speaker 1: gonna stick around.

I don't 1632 01:15:31,160 --> 01:15:34,360 Speaker 6: owe anyone any money. What's wrong? It was a pick 1633 01:15:34,439 --> 01:15:36,800 Speaker 6: on a game. Gets knowing more important than that in 1634 01:15:36,920 --> 01:15:38,920 Speaker 6: rivalry weekend and I was thinking what game? 1635 01:15:39,000 --> 01:15:39,479 Speaker 5: What game? 1636 01:15:39,600 --> 01:15:41,679 Speaker 6: And I realized it was it was Ohio State and Michigan. 1637 01:15:43,040 --> 01:15:44,519 Speaker 5: Get it, get it up a little bit more. 1638 01:15:45,240 --> 01:15:45,920 Speaker 1: Do you do shows? 1639 01:15:46,400 --> 01:15:49,000 Speaker 6: Yeah, just not with the sensitive mics. 1640 01:15:49,360 --> 01:15:49,559 Speaker 1: Yeah. 1641 01:15:49,920 --> 01:15:52,920 Speaker 6: So I needed to talk to someone about it. I 1642 01:15:53,040 --> 01:15:54,960 Speaker 6: talked to my wife about it, and she said, you 1643 01:15:55,040 --> 01:15:57,439 Speaker 6: got to Actually, she said, I don't care. But then 1644 01:15:57,520 --> 01:15:59,639 Speaker 6: she said, talk to someone else about it. So who 1645 01:15:59,680 --> 01:16:01,800 Speaker 6: else do you go to? Will Compton? Yeah, that's right, 1646 01:16:02,080 --> 01:16:05,880 Speaker 6: it's Savannah Pate. Will Compton's right there because you would 1647 01:16:05,920 --> 01:16:07,320 Speaker 6: be there, but I couldn't talk to you for what 1648 01:16:07,400 --> 01:16:10,320 Speaker 6: will be obvious reasons. In just a second. I came 1649 01:16:10,400 --> 01:16:13,280 Speaker 6: on the locker room last Wednesday and I ignored all 1650 01:16:13,360 --> 01:16:15,760 Speaker 6: my better judgment. I ignored the model. I said, I'm 1651 01:16:15,800 --> 01:16:17,800 Speaker 6: not picking against the Michigan again. It's been four years 1652 01:16:17,840 --> 01:16:20,679 Speaker 6: in a row. I can't do it. But then Saturday morning, 1653 01:16:20,960 --> 01:16:22,080 Speaker 6: you look in the mirror and you're like, what are 1654 01:16:22,080 --> 01:16:23,840 Speaker 6: you doing?

Do I change? And my heart said no, 1658 01:16:31,040 --> 01:16:33,920 Speaker 6: but my head said yes. So I consulted William and 1659 01:16:34,040 --> 01:16:36,200 Speaker 6: I said, I'm going to change, but if I do, 1660 01:16:36,280 --> 01:16:38,040 Speaker 6: I need you to hold me to it. I can't 1661 01:16:38,040 --> 01:16:39,760 Speaker 6: make this public this late. I'll get drug and I 1662 01:16:39,800 --> 01:16:41,040 Speaker 6: don't want to make it about me.

We're like 1795 01:21:39,920 --> 01:21:41,599 Speaker 3: in the low, We're in the in the red zone, 1796 01:21:41,640 --> 01:21:44,160 Speaker 3: the fringe area, and I'm like, now is the time 1797 01:21:44,560 --> 01:21:46,240 Speaker 3: to have we have to have a two score lead. 1798 01:21:46,439 --> 01:21:47,120 Speaker 1: We have to have. 1799 01:21:49,880 --> 01:21:51,599 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, if we're gonna go to the game, 1800 01:21:51,600 --> 01:21:54,960 Speaker 3: I thought were gonna go Lane Kiffin, but Michigan got out, 1801 01:21:55,000 --> 01:22:01,320 Speaker 3: played out, coached out, schemed out class. It was tough 1802 01:22:01,439 --> 01:22:03,240 Speaker 3: in every sense of the word. And honestly, I said 1803 01:22:03,240 --> 01:22:05,360 Speaker 3: I said in the video after the game, like congrats 1804 01:22:05,400 --> 01:22:09,200 Speaker 3: to Ryan Day, Brian Hartline, Matt Patricia like they earned it. 1805 01:22:09,720 --> 01:22:11,880 Speaker 3: They ate it for three and sixty five days, longer 1806 01:22:11,880 --> 01:22:16,120 Speaker 3: than that twenty and ninety one days, and once they won, 1807 01:22:16,280 --> 01:22:18,960 Speaker 3: there's no bullshit about it. They're like, hey, in their mind, 1808 01:22:19,000 --> 01:22:21,760 Speaker 3: everything is right in the world again, yep. And you 1809 01:22:21,800 --> 01:22:24,240 Speaker 3: gotta respect it. You gotta respect the way they handled it, 1810 01:22:24,439 --> 01:22:26,920 Speaker 3: how we have handled it. And if you're a Michigan fan, 1811 01:22:27,000 --> 01:22:28,599 Speaker 3: it's a great opportunity to look yourself in the mirror, 1812 01:22:28,680 --> 01:22:30,320 Speaker 3: be like, how how are we going to be winners? 1813 01:22:30,360 --> 01:22:30,680 Speaker 3: Next time? 1814 01:22:30,680 --> 01:22:31,120 Speaker 5: Are winners? 1815 01:22:31,200 --> 01:22:33,479 Speaker 3: How are we going to act? Because there's a piece 1816 01:22:33,520 --> 01:22:36,519 Speaker 3: of me that loves the bullshit like the flag planning 1817 01:22:36,560 --> 01:22:38,280 Speaker 3: and all that, because it just adds to the storyline 1818 01:22:38,400 --> 01:22:40,960 Speaker 3: of Rivalry Week and it shows the highlights and the 1819 01:22:41,000 --> 01:22:41,600 Speaker 3: fighting and all that. 1820 01:22:41,720 --> 01:22:42,240 Speaker 1: I love that. 1821 01:22:42,920 --> 01:22:46,920 Speaker 3: But when someone who's beaten you more times than not 1822 01:22:47,040 --> 01:22:49,720 Speaker 3: since two thousand and they just shake your hand and 1823 01:22:49,760 --> 01:22:51,720 Speaker 3: walk off the field, it's like that that's a tough 1824 01:22:51,800 --> 01:22:52,320 Speaker 3: fucking look. 1825 01:22:52,520 --> 01:22:53,960 Speaker 1: It says we're gonna win with humility. 1826 01:22:54,000 --> 01:22:57,160 Speaker 6: It's like, oh yeah, Like like that is they predict 1827 01:22:57,200 --> 01:22:57,559 Speaker 6: that you will? 1828 01:22:58,080 --> 01:23:00,720 Speaker 3: That's the right. The Ryan Day's playbook was perfect all 1829 01:23:00,720 --> 01:23:02,680 Speaker 3: the bad things I said about Ryan Day, like, I 1830 01:23:02,760 --> 01:23:04,400 Speaker 3: take you back. He's a leader of men. He's a 1831 01:23:04,400 --> 01:23:08,200 Speaker 3: great coach. He is, he's outstanding, he really is. 1832 01:23:08,600 --> 01:23:12,160 Speaker 6: The part that got me was Michigan's players protected them. 1833 01:23:12,360 --> 01:23:15,479 Speaker 6: Oh and Ohio State folks looked at it, like, what 1834 01:23:15,600 --> 01:23:17,280 Speaker 6: do you do? We're we're not going to do that anymore. 1835 01:23:17,400 --> 01:23:19,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, this isn't what you think it is. 1836 01:23:20,040 --> 01:23:22,559 Speaker 3: And the thing that bothers me is in Columbus last 1837 01:23:22,640 --> 01:23:25,439 Speaker 3: year when Ohio State players are trying to fight Michigan 1838 01:23:25,479 --> 01:23:27,720 Speaker 3: players over the flag thing, I'm thinking of myself, Hey, 1839 01:23:27,760 --> 01:23:29,600 Speaker 3: you had sixty minutes to defend your turf, like we 1840 01:23:29,680 --> 01:23:33,519 Speaker 3: technically took over your territory. Now sixty minutes has taken place. 1841 01:23:33,600 --> 01:23:35,599 Speaker 3: We got our ass whipped, and we got one hundred 1842 01:23:35,600 --> 01:23:37,840 Speaker 3: and ten guys standing on the the Orlians like, guys, 1843 01:23:38,479 --> 01:23:39,559 Speaker 3: it's they have won. 1844 01:23:39,720 --> 01:23:40,160 Speaker 6: Just go home. 1845 01:23:40,280 --> 01:23:42,200 Speaker 3: The game is over and it sucks. 1846 01:23:42,280 --> 01:23:42,439 Speaker 1: Man. 1847 01:23:42,720 --> 01:23:44,639 Speaker 3: I thought I didn't think we had a winning game plan. 1848 01:23:45,040 --> 01:23:47,920 Speaker 3: I mean, I know, Bryce like people want to mess 1849 01:23:47,920 --> 01:23:49,599 Speaker 3: with the stall and the kid through the ball eighteen times, 1850 01:23:49,960 --> 01:23:52,639 Speaker 3: and ten of those throws really came and like, okay, 1851 01:23:52,680 --> 01:23:54,800 Speaker 3: we're down by multiple scores. It's time to like kind 1852 01:23:54,800 --> 01:23:55,840 Speaker 3: of rip it, and it's like, how are you gonna 1853 01:23:55,840 --> 01:23:57,760 Speaker 3: get a kid to get into a groove of a 1854 01:23:57,840 --> 01:23:59,560 Speaker 3: game and then just be like all right, now, go 1855 01:23:59,600 --> 01:24:01,960 Speaker 3: save us. Yeah, it's a tough situation. 1856 01:24:01,720 --> 01:24:01,960 Speaker 5: To be in. 1857 01:24:02,120 --> 01:24:03,960 Speaker 1: Look, Ohio State is the best team in the country. 1858 01:24:04,000 --> 01:24:06,000 Speaker 1: They're the best team in the chaos that could happen 1859 01:24:06,040 --> 01:24:07,920 Speaker 1: in the playoffs and everything else. I'm just thinking, like, 1860 01:24:07,920 --> 01:24:09,040 Speaker 1: who's going to beat this team? 1861 01:24:09,200 --> 01:24:12,360 Speaker 6: No, the field may be one told you, we said 1862 01:24:12,400 --> 01:24:13,960 Speaker 6: in the locker room like a month ago. The whole 1863 01:24:14,080 --> 01:24:17,080 Speaker 6: chaos is going to be the playoff selection. It's going 1864 01:24:17,160 --> 01:24:19,320 Speaker 6: to be the process of getting to the playoff, because 1865 01:24:19,320 --> 01:24:20,920 Speaker 6: once you get in the playoff, it may not be 1866 01:24:21,000 --> 01:24:23,559 Speaker 6: that chaotic at all. It may just be who's lining 1867 01:24:23,640 --> 01:24:24,960 Speaker 6: up to be the next victim for them? 1868 01:24:25,280 --> 01:24:27,880 Speaker 3: Yeah, and you said it Percly on your show last night. 1869 01:24:27,960 --> 01:24:31,519 Speaker 3: Like every top team, after every game they have more questions. 1870 01:24:31,520 --> 01:24:33,439 Speaker 3: The only thing on how State's giving you his answers. Yeah, 1871 01:24:33,760 --> 01:24:36,519 Speaker 3: over and over and over again. All they've given is answers. 1872 01:24:36,760 --> 01:24:40,080 Speaker 3: And it sucks that I my team has to be 1873 01:24:40,160 --> 01:24:43,400 Speaker 3: the last head post on a stake like that sucks, 1874 01:24:43,800 --> 01:24:46,080 Speaker 3: But I mean that team is the best team. Now 1875 01:24:46,120 --> 01:24:49,720 Speaker 3: if you are Michigan, it's you see the level that 1876 01:24:50,040 --> 01:24:52,120 Speaker 3: States put themselves at in this new nil world, Like, 1877 01:24:52,200 --> 01:24:54,240 Speaker 3: are you going to go match that and go after 1878 01:24:54,320 --> 01:24:56,479 Speaker 3: it the same way they have? That's the question they 1879 01:24:56,520 --> 01:24:57,760 Speaker 3: have to ask themselves. I can't do it for I 1880 01:24:57,840 --> 01:24:59,560 Speaker 3: don't have that kind of money. I can't do it 1881 01:25:00,040 --> 01:25:02,479 Speaker 3: family to feed myself. I'm a superhero as a fan, 1882 01:25:02,560 --> 01:25:05,320 Speaker 3: hoping and wishing him, praying I'm with you. But yeah, 1883 01:25:05,400 --> 01:25:07,160 Speaker 3: I mean there's a whole lot that means to be saying. 1884 01:25:07,240 --> 01:25:08,680 Speaker 3: Let's you know, Mitch, if you want to rub it 1885 01:25:08,680 --> 01:25:10,760 Speaker 3: in a little bit, I saw your text about your 1886 01:25:10,840 --> 01:25:13,800 Speaker 3: childhood traumas and us real living those things for you. 1887 01:25:14,000 --> 01:25:17,320 Speaker 1: Hey, that man inspired Mitch to get back on the 1888 01:25:17,479 --> 01:25:18,160 Speaker 1: box man. 1889 01:25:18,760 --> 01:25:23,680 Speaker 3: Yeah, long tweet talking about Jack Jack's responses. That's a 1890 01:25:23,720 --> 01:25:24,240 Speaker 3: lot of words. 1891 01:25:24,400 --> 01:25:27,200 Speaker 1: That's a lot of words. But talking about driving the cans, 1892 01:25:27,280 --> 01:25:30,240 Speaker 1: the comforter and everything else. I know it had my attention. 1893 01:25:30,280 --> 01:25:31,559 Speaker 1: I'm like, okay, Mitchie boy, I. 1894 01:25:31,640 --> 01:25:33,280 Speaker 3: Read half of it and I was just and it 1895 01:25:33,400 --> 01:25:35,200 Speaker 3: wasn't you. I was just fucking I was mad about 1896 01:25:35,200 --> 01:25:35,639 Speaker 3: the situation. 1897 01:25:35,920 --> 01:25:38,679 Speaker 5: No, I mean, like I I had to go through 1898 01:25:39,439 --> 01:25:40,120 Speaker 5: like I have been. 1899 01:25:40,320 --> 01:25:41,960 Speaker 9: I guess you could say, for lack of a better term, 1900 01:25:42,000 --> 01:25:44,080 Speaker 9: bullied out of being a fan just because I. 1901 01:25:44,160 --> 01:25:45,200 Speaker 5: Have been a bit casual. 1902 01:25:45,720 --> 01:25:48,599 Speaker 9: But like seeing Ryan Day, like we win with humility 1903 01:25:48,680 --> 01:25:50,800 Speaker 9: and then like him shakes your own's like, hey, we 1904 01:25:50,880 --> 01:25:52,280 Speaker 9: got to get these guys off the field. We're not 1905 01:25:52,320 --> 01:25:54,640 Speaker 9: going to do any flag planning, like like that's my 1906 01:25:55,160 --> 01:25:57,080 Speaker 9: that's my head coach. And like I have been a fan, 1907 01:25:57,720 --> 01:26:00,000 Speaker 9: like I had the comforter, I had to my bedroom 1908 01:26:00,040 --> 01:26:02,160 Speaker 9: and was painted like that. I went to two youth camps, 1909 01:26:02,240 --> 01:26:06,320 Speaker 9: like I've been a die hard fan, like since since 1910 01:26:06,360 --> 01:26:07,680 Speaker 9: a kid. But like I just kind of I don't 1911 01:26:07,680 --> 01:26:09,519 Speaker 9: know if I fell off a little bit, but like 1912 01:26:10,160 --> 01:26:13,160 Speaker 9: seeing that win, it's like, oh, I'm I'm fully bad. 1913 01:26:13,200 --> 01:26:15,120 Speaker 6: You found your faith again? I did, Yeah, you found 1914 01:26:15,120 --> 01:26:15,679 Speaker 6: your faith again. 1915 01:26:16,680 --> 01:26:20,240 Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, he's a born again buck guy. 1916 01:26:20,400 --> 01:26:22,160 Speaker 3: Man, I don't really see a team on here that 1917 01:26:22,920 --> 01:26:23,720 Speaker 3: beats Ohio State. 1918 01:26:24,640 --> 01:26:25,960 Speaker 6: Ohio State is the team. 1919 01:26:26,479 --> 01:26:28,160 Speaker 3: It's the team, Like, that's the team. 1920 01:26:28,240 --> 01:26:29,479 Speaker 6: That's the team that beats at State. 1921 01:26:29,920 --> 01:26:32,640 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's the only way that team loses. Can I 1922 01:26:32,680 --> 01:26:34,880 Speaker 3: ask you a question, are we should we be done 1923 01:26:34,960 --> 01:26:37,920 Speaker 3: with conference championships? Like we have number one and number 1924 01:26:37,960 --> 01:26:41,880 Speaker 3: two indianniversal health state this weekend, and it makes zero 1925 01:26:42,080 --> 01:26:44,360 Speaker 3: sense if the Commission has already said it's not going 1926 01:26:44,400 --> 01:26:47,120 Speaker 3: to affect their judgment, If they're technically still going to 1927 01:26:47,160 --> 01:26:50,040 Speaker 3: stay one to two, why not sit all your best players? 1928 01:26:50,080 --> 01:26:52,320 Speaker 3: Will be like, Hey, why hurt these guys more when 1929 01:26:52,360 --> 01:26:54,200 Speaker 3: we have three four more games to play? 1930 01:26:54,360 --> 01:26:56,160 Speaker 6: Yeah, I'll do you another one. I mean, the Big 1931 01:26:56,240 --> 01:26:59,000 Speaker 6: ten's the easy one. Look at the SEC. So Alabama's 1932 01:26:59,040 --> 01:27:01,719 Speaker 6: in the playoff right now. If they just don't play Saturday, 1933 01:27:01,760 --> 01:27:03,639 Speaker 6: they're in the playoff now. They don't have a first 1934 01:27:03,680 --> 01:27:06,280 Speaker 6: round by so technically they could play Saturday and get that. 1935 01:27:06,520 --> 01:27:09,400 Speaker 6: That'd be wonderful. However, if they didn't have the game 1936 01:27:09,520 --> 01:27:12,920 Speaker 6: this weekend, that would be their bye. So what happens 1937 01:27:12,960 --> 01:27:14,800 Speaker 6: to the SEC? Because George is going to be in 1938 01:27:14,840 --> 01:27:16,760 Speaker 6: no matter what. There are folks out there walking the 1939 01:27:16,800 --> 01:27:19,559 Speaker 6: streets this morning who are seriously suggesting to you if 1940 01:27:19,600 --> 01:27:22,200 Speaker 6: Alabama lose a Saturday, they're going to fall out, which 1941 01:27:22,200 --> 01:27:25,639 Speaker 6: I think is insane. But same question for both conferences there, 1942 01:27:25,960 --> 01:27:27,280 Speaker 6: Why have your game Saturday? 1943 01:27:27,360 --> 01:27:27,559 Speaker 1: Yeah? 1944 01:27:27,560 --> 01:27:30,280 Speaker 6: That's why I think with this new talk about we're 1945 01:27:30,280 --> 01:27:33,040 Speaker 6: going to restructure the playoff or whatnot. If they do it, 1946 01:27:33,320 --> 01:27:36,080 Speaker 6: whatever changes they make, they've either got to crystallize the 1947 01:27:36,280 --> 01:27:38,720 Speaker 6: value of conference championship games or they got to do 1948 01:27:38,800 --> 01:27:40,880 Speaker 6: away with them, and the latter is not a realistic 1949 01:27:40,920 --> 01:27:42,840 Speaker 6: option because they make way too much money on them. 1950 01:27:43,200 --> 01:27:45,080 Speaker 6: So that goes to my whole theory of why I 1951 01:27:45,120 --> 01:27:47,400 Speaker 6: don't think Bama's falling out no matter what, because You've 1952 01:27:47,400 --> 01:27:49,960 Speaker 6: got really one of, if not the most powerful conferences 1953 01:27:50,000 --> 01:27:53,120 Speaker 6: in college football with their one seed. I know Bama's 1954 01:27:53,200 --> 01:27:55,439 Speaker 6: ranked behind Georgia, but they are technically the one seed 1955 01:27:55,520 --> 01:27:58,120 Speaker 6: in the SEC. If you tell the most one of 1956 01:27:58,120 --> 01:28:00,639 Speaker 6: the most powerful conferences in college football, your one seed 1957 01:28:00,720 --> 01:28:03,160 Speaker 6: could miss our twelve team playoff because they played in 1958 01:28:03,240 --> 01:28:06,720 Speaker 6: your conference championship game. The SEC like may burn the 1959 01:28:06,760 --> 01:28:09,040 Speaker 6: whole thing down, Like they may just take their ball 1960 01:28:09,120 --> 01:28:10,439 Speaker 6: and go home and say, you know what, we're going 1961 01:28:10,520 --> 01:28:12,400 Speaker 6: to do our own thing. You guys have fun. Let 1962 01:28:12,479 --> 01:28:14,920 Speaker 6: us know when you figure it out. And think about this, 1963 01:28:15,240 --> 01:28:19,720 Speaker 6: there's a world where Alabama SEC championship game participant is 1964 01:28:19,880 --> 01:28:22,639 Speaker 6: not in the playoff and there are two G fives 1965 01:28:22,720 --> 01:28:25,760 Speaker 6: and two big twelves in the playoff. I just threw up. 1966 01:28:26,320 --> 01:28:27,519 Speaker 6: Many people just threw up. 1967 01:28:27,520 --> 01:28:28,080 Speaker 1: Listening to that. 1968 01:28:28,320 --> 01:28:30,360 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, people had to pull over in their cars. 1969 01:28:31,200 --> 01:28:35,280 Speaker 1: What if Georgia wins like thirty one to thirteen, I 1970 01:28:35,320 --> 01:28:38,960 Speaker 1: don't care. That's just thinking like kind of a blowout scenario, 1971 01:28:38,960 --> 01:28:39,760 Speaker 1: Obama falls out. 1972 01:28:39,840 --> 01:28:42,479 Speaker 6: Oh no, there is a chance they fall out. I'm 1973 01:28:42,520 --> 01:28:44,960 Speaker 6: telling you, I would never drop them out because if 1974 01:28:44,960 --> 01:28:47,920 Speaker 6: they're in today, then they're in period. But yeah, like 1975 01:28:48,080 --> 01:28:50,519 Speaker 6: I keep listening to the folks who really follow this 1976 01:28:51,040 --> 01:28:53,240 Speaker 6: hardcore and the people who have sat in with the 1977 01:28:53,280 --> 01:28:55,360 Speaker 6: committee before, Like they take some of the media folks, 1978 01:28:55,640 --> 01:28:57,320 Speaker 6: they fly them down to Texas and they have them 1979 01:28:57,360 --> 01:29:00,599 Speaker 6: sit through the mock selection process, and everybody who sat 1980 01:29:00,640 --> 01:29:04,080 Speaker 6: through that thing keeps on putting their predictions out and 1981 01:29:04,320 --> 01:29:06,720 Speaker 6: they have Bama losing if they lose to Georgia and 1982 01:29:06,800 --> 01:29:09,360 Speaker 6: maybe dropping out. I don't think those people are all stupid, 1983 01:29:09,439 --> 01:29:11,519 Speaker 6: Like they clearly know what they're talking about. So yeah, 1984 01:29:11,560 --> 01:29:14,280 Speaker 6: there's a chance. I just think it's insane and if 1985 01:29:14,320 --> 01:29:16,760 Speaker 6: you do it, they're going to be much bigger ramifications 1986 01:29:17,240 --> 01:29:21,080 Speaker 6: for the SEC, because you notice, like I saw Greg 1987 01:29:21,080 --> 01:29:23,280 Speaker 6: Sankey Saturday night, the Commissioner of the SEC, and it 1988 01:29:23,360 --> 01:29:25,800 Speaker 6: made me remember that guy hasn't said a word about this. 1989 01:29:26,400 --> 01:29:28,400 Speaker 6: No one in the SEC has said a word about it. 1990 01:29:28,439 --> 01:29:30,920 Speaker 6: From the league office. They haven't tried to politic they 1991 01:29:30,960 --> 01:29:34,040 Speaker 6: haven't tried to influence publicly or privately. They haven't sid 1992 01:29:34,040 --> 01:29:36,080 Speaker 6: a word to me like, they haven't reached out to 1993 01:29:36,200 --> 01:29:39,080 Speaker 6: try and stoke the fire. I think they're just waiting 1994 01:29:39,720 --> 01:29:41,880 Speaker 6: to see the outcome. And if Bama wins, it's a 1995 01:29:41,920 --> 01:29:45,760 Speaker 6: moot point. If Bama loses, that twelve hours between that 1996 01:29:45,920 --> 01:29:49,919 Speaker 6: game and the selection the next day will be honestly, 1997 01:29:50,000 --> 01:29:52,880 Speaker 6: it'll be about like the coaching world was over the 1998 01:29:52,920 --> 01:29:55,200 Speaker 6: past few days with lang Kiff and an LSU just 1999 01:29:55,240 --> 01:29:56,120 Speaker 6: be total insanity. 2000 01:29:57,320 --> 01:29:57,519 Speaker 1: God. 2001 01:29:57,640 --> 01:29:59,920 Speaker 7: I have a question if if Bama were to win 2002 01:30:00,120 --> 01:30:03,760 Speaker 7: this weekend, do they earn one of the top four 2003 01:30:03,840 --> 01:30:06,439 Speaker 7: spots and then they get the bye and then Georgia 2004 01:30:06,439 --> 01:30:08,280 Speaker 7: would fall to whatever that would be. 2005 01:30:08,439 --> 01:30:09,960 Speaker 6: Yeah, I like I think that's the way it would work. 2006 01:30:10,080 --> 01:30:11,000 Speaker 6: That's the other side. 2007 01:30:12,800 --> 01:30:13,240 Speaker 1: Teams. 2008 01:30:15,520 --> 01:30:17,120 Speaker 6: I think the SEC champ is going to have a 2009 01:30:17,160 --> 01:30:19,760 Speaker 6: first round by whoever that is, Yeah, Georgia Obviously I 2010 01:30:19,800 --> 01:30:22,599 Speaker 6: think Bama would jump up there too. Uh. Then Georgia 2011 01:30:23,120 --> 01:30:25,400 Speaker 6: falls to hosting a playoff game, and I think the 2012 01:30:25,439 --> 01:30:28,559 Speaker 6: way it's projected right now, three of the four teams 2013 01:30:28,640 --> 01:30:31,160 Speaker 6: that would host a playoff game or SEC teams and 2014 01:30:31,240 --> 01:30:34,639 Speaker 6: then it would probably be organ or maybe I think 2015 01:30:34,720 --> 01:30:36,479 Speaker 6: Texas Tech is going to jump up and take one 2016 01:30:36,520 --> 01:30:38,920 Speaker 6: of the spots, by the way as the Big twelve champs. 2017 01:30:38,920 --> 01:30:41,719 Speaker 6: So yeah, like Oregon and three SEC teams hosting against 2018 01:30:42,720 --> 01:30:45,120 Speaker 6: god knows who from the G five ranks and they're 2019 01:30:45,120 --> 01:30:53,280 Speaker 6: probably three touchdown favorites. What if beats Virginia's. 2020 01:30:52,560 --> 01:30:55,080 Speaker 3: Beatause you have Virginia sitting at eleven seed right now, 2021 01:30:56,000 --> 01:30:58,240 Speaker 3: they lose to do Who's nowhere to be found on 2022 01:30:58,400 --> 01:30:58,920 Speaker 3: this chart? 2023 01:30:59,720 --> 01:31:04,880 Speaker 6: What then it's I want to remind people. Okay, we 2024 01:31:05,439 --> 01:31:08,920 Speaker 6: talked about the ACC doomsday scenario on the locker room 2025 01:31:09,120 --> 01:31:13,280 Speaker 6: a month ago, and then Duke lost to Virginia ironically, 2026 01:31:13,600 --> 01:31:16,599 Speaker 6: and we kind of thought, okay, doomsday scenario off the table. 2027 01:31:16,720 --> 01:31:20,200 Speaker 6: The ACC is so bad it lost its way back 2028 01:31:20,280 --> 01:31:23,280 Speaker 6: into the doomsday scenario. The doomsday scenario is and this 2029 01:31:23,400 --> 01:31:25,840 Speaker 6: is gonna sound fake, but it's not. Duke is seven 2030 01:31:25,880 --> 01:31:28,840 Speaker 6: and five playing for a conference championship. Because many of 2031 01:31:28,880 --> 01:31:31,720 Speaker 6: their losses are out of conference losses. Duke is a 2032 01:31:31,840 --> 01:31:35,360 Speaker 6: two and a half point dog against Virginia. If they 2033 01:31:35,520 --> 01:31:39,080 Speaker 6: beat Virginia Duke. The best we counted it last night, 2034 01:31:39,479 --> 01:31:41,559 Speaker 6: Duke is not in the top forty of the AP 2035 01:31:41,800 --> 01:31:44,080 Speaker 6: right now, and that's as far as you can count. 2036 01:31:44,120 --> 01:31:46,840 Speaker 6: You can't even go past forty. They're not even receiving votes. 2037 01:31:47,080 --> 01:31:49,680 Speaker 6: If Duke wins, they won't be close to one of 2038 01:31:49,800 --> 01:31:52,599 Speaker 6: the five highest ranked conference champs, so they won't get 2039 01:31:52,600 --> 01:31:56,240 Speaker 6: an automatic bid. Those autobids would go to James Madison 2040 01:31:56,439 --> 01:31:59,560 Speaker 6: and whoever wins the American Athletic Conference, and then the 2041 01:32:00,120 --> 01:32:02,439 Speaker 6: the rest of the Power four league champs. And so 2042 01:32:02,680 --> 01:32:05,639 Speaker 6: the question would become for the committee on selection Sunday, 2043 01:32:06,479 --> 01:32:08,320 Speaker 6: are we going to put Miami in the playoff? Basically 2044 01:32:08,680 --> 01:32:11,120 Speaker 6: that would be the ACC's only shot at getting a 2045 01:32:11,160 --> 01:32:14,080 Speaker 6: team in the playoff, And if they say no to Miami, 2046 01:32:14,439 --> 01:32:17,000 Speaker 6: like they have been doing, you're looking at the ACC 2047 01:32:17,160 --> 01:32:20,080 Speaker 6: being shut out entirely. Which again we floated on the 2048 01:32:20,120 --> 01:32:22,360 Speaker 6: locker room a month ago. I saw the comment section. 2049 01:32:22,560 --> 01:32:24,479 Speaker 6: They thought we were idiots. They thought we weren't reading 2050 01:32:24,520 --> 01:32:27,080 Speaker 6: the rules correctly. Right, No, we were reading the rules correctly. 2051 01:32:27,400 --> 01:32:29,559 Speaker 6: It's just a scenario no one ever thought would happen, 2052 01:32:30,160 --> 01:32:33,280 Speaker 6: has already happened in the second year of the twelftheen Playoff. 2053 01:32:34,360 --> 01:32:35,800 Speaker 6: That's the world you live in. That's the world you 2054 01:32:35,880 --> 01:32:36,800 Speaker 6: woke up in this morning. 2055 01:32:37,840 --> 01:32:42,320 Speaker 3: Everyone, Duke, what is North Texas's record? Why are they even? 2056 01:32:43,840 --> 01:32:44,519 Speaker 3: They're eleven in one? 2057 01:32:44,600 --> 01:32:46,960 Speaker 6: Yeah, North Texas play I've already had my stance on. 2058 01:32:46,960 --> 01:32:48,880 Speaker 3: The G five. You need to be undefeated, Yeah, well 2059 01:32:49,120 --> 01:32:51,920 Speaker 3: have to be. Look here and their coach just less. 2060 01:32:52,080 --> 01:32:54,720 Speaker 1: So now now we're in a situation that we don't 2061 01:32:54,760 --> 01:32:57,040 Speaker 1: need multiple G fives. Well, we need a G five 2062 01:32:57,160 --> 01:32:59,600 Speaker 1: to take out the acc Like, if Duke wins, that 2063 01:33:00,080 --> 01:33:02,840 Speaker 1: will obviously be the domino effect, but we kind of 2064 01:33:02,920 --> 01:33:05,040 Speaker 1: need the G five a little bit right now, if 2065 01:33:05,040 --> 01:33:07,600 Speaker 1: you want, because no matter what we were accepting, we 2066 01:33:07,800 --> 01:33:09,600 Speaker 1: have to accept the rules of the game, which is 2067 01:33:09,680 --> 01:33:14,760 Speaker 1: G You know, these top five ranked conference champions they 2068 01:33:14,840 --> 01:33:15,080 Speaker 1: get in. 2069 01:33:15,680 --> 01:33:15,880 Speaker 2: Yeah. 2070 01:33:16,280 --> 01:33:18,320 Speaker 6: Look here's the other side of it though. If Virginia 2071 01:33:18,360 --> 01:33:21,679 Speaker 6: beats Duke, it still just means a G five team 2072 01:33:21,720 --> 01:33:24,240 Speaker 6: in Virginia are going to be in and those just 2073 01:33:24,560 --> 01:33:28,000 Speaker 6: total blowout city against the five and the six seed 2074 01:33:28,240 --> 01:33:31,200 Speaker 6: in their building in round one. Both of those games 2075 01:33:31,240 --> 01:33:34,360 Speaker 6: are going to be between fourteen and twenty one point spreads. 2076 01:33:35,240 --> 01:33:37,559 Speaker 6: It will be SMU Penn State last year, like it'll 2077 01:33:37,600 --> 01:33:39,760 Speaker 6: be that all over again, and you just know you're 2078 01:33:39,800 --> 01:33:42,519 Speaker 6: mailing it in. You're trying to stay healthy and it's 2079 01:33:42,560 --> 01:33:44,479 Speaker 6: going to be a really boring watch. 2080 01:33:44,800 --> 01:33:46,599 Speaker 1: But what about the spirit of college football? 2081 01:33:46,760 --> 01:33:48,800 Speaker 6: I'm all for it, That's why I tune in every 2082 01:33:48,880 --> 01:33:51,760 Speaker 6: Saturday in the fall. That is great. But you said 2083 01:33:51,760 --> 01:33:53,840 Speaker 6: the spirit of college football, right, yeah, And the spirit 2084 01:33:53,920 --> 01:33:58,160 Speaker 6: of college football sometimes gets misconstrued to where every single 2085 01:33:58,280 --> 01:34:00,439 Speaker 6: team in the one hundred and thirty sixteen field of 2086 01:34:00,560 --> 01:34:03,599 Speaker 6: FBS is playing the same level of football. Everyone knows 2087 01:34:03,640 --> 01:34:06,400 Speaker 6: they're not. Both of you have actually gone on record 2088 01:34:06,439 --> 01:34:09,200 Speaker 6: as saying, yeah, there should probably be a G five playoff. 2089 01:34:09,640 --> 01:34:11,479 Speaker 6: I've beat that drum for years, but you come to 2090 01:34:11,520 --> 01:34:14,040 Speaker 6: a total end pass because they just push back and say, no, 2091 01:34:14,160 --> 01:34:16,439 Speaker 6: we don't want our own playoff. We want the right 2092 01:34:16,560 --> 01:34:18,800 Speaker 6: to earn our way to get our head beat in 2093 01:34:19,520 --> 01:34:21,240 Speaker 6: like they would rather have that world. 2094 01:34:21,520 --> 01:34:24,439 Speaker 3: Yeah, if you had so. As it stands right now, 2095 01:34:24,560 --> 01:34:26,680 Speaker 3: North Texas is going to play Oregon at Oregon or 2096 01:34:26,880 --> 01:34:29,400 Speaker 3: North Texas or two laneg So one of those teams 2097 01:34:29,439 --> 01:34:33,040 Speaker 3: are if your Oregon and your schedule comes out and 2098 01:34:33,240 --> 01:34:35,120 Speaker 3: you have them in one of your first four games, 2099 01:34:35,160 --> 01:34:37,519 Speaker 3: you're not looking at that going oh shit, we gotta 2100 01:34:37,560 --> 01:34:39,200 Speaker 3: win this one. And now we sit here in the 2101 01:34:39,240 --> 01:34:42,200 Speaker 3: playoff and the most important games of the year. Your 2102 01:34:42,240 --> 01:34:44,040 Speaker 3: first game is against two Lane or North Texas. 2103 01:34:44,120 --> 01:34:46,320 Speaker 6: Yeah, for the spirit of college football. 2104 01:34:46,360 --> 01:34:49,160 Speaker 3: Yeah, both coaches are gone. Yeah, gee's over here saying 2105 01:34:49,200 --> 01:34:53,719 Speaker 3: both coaches are gone, Which why not van By who's 2106 01:34:53,760 --> 01:34:56,360 Speaker 3: ten and two, or even Texas. It's nine to three. 2107 01:34:56,600 --> 01:34:57,439 Speaker 1: That's what it should be. 2108 01:34:57,840 --> 01:35:00,679 Speaker 3: That's what it should be. Absolutely, But as Vandy out, 2109 01:35:02,160 --> 01:35:02,759 Speaker 3: I think. 2110 01:35:02,800 --> 01:35:05,559 Speaker 6: It looks like Vandy's out. I think it's crazy. They 2111 01:35:05,680 --> 01:35:08,120 Speaker 6: dropped in the eight people. They dropped in the eight 2112 01:35:08,160 --> 01:35:12,000 Speaker 6: people after beating Tennessee. But look, it's another no win, okay, 2113 01:35:12,000 --> 01:35:15,120 Speaker 6: because when you're arguing Vandy, you're not arguing Vandy. You're 2114 01:35:15,240 --> 01:35:17,880 Speaker 6: arguing a fifth SEC team. That's all the public heres, 2115 01:35:18,400 --> 01:35:20,640 Speaker 6: and they're gonna say, well, who is Vandy beaton? And 2116 01:35:20,680 --> 01:35:22,720 Speaker 6: then you say, dude, they just beat Tennessee on the road. Well, 2117 01:35:22,760 --> 01:35:24,759 Speaker 6: Tennessee didn't even have a win against indie, winning conference 2118 01:35:24,840 --> 01:35:26,479 Speaker 6: with a winning record. It's like, if you really want 2119 01:35:26,520 --> 01:35:28,519 Speaker 6: to go down that rabbit hole, I could pick apart 2120 01:35:28,560 --> 01:35:31,080 Speaker 6: every resume up there. The side of Ohio State in Indiana, 2121 01:35:31,439 --> 01:35:35,240 Speaker 6: I could easily do that. It's very very selective enforcement 2122 01:35:35,400 --> 01:35:38,840 Speaker 6: of criteria to pick apart someone's resume. Bottom line is, 2123 01:35:39,240 --> 01:35:42,679 Speaker 6: if we sat on this bus in July and anyone said, 2124 01:35:43,040 --> 01:35:45,640 Speaker 6: rubbed the magic eight ball this morning, I know for 2125 01:35:45,760 --> 01:35:47,960 Speaker 6: a fact Vandy's going ten to two. They're gonna end 2126 01:35:47,960 --> 01:35:50,160 Speaker 6: the season red hot. They're gonna drop forty five in 2127 01:35:50,200 --> 01:35:53,360 Speaker 6: Kneeland Stadium. They're gonna run for over three hundred against Tennessee. 2128 01:35:53,640 --> 01:35:56,400 Speaker 6: They're gonna have a bona fide Heisman Trophy candidate quarterback 2129 01:35:56,560 --> 01:35:58,320 Speaker 6: like Diego Poppy is not gonna get hurt. He's gonna 2130 01:35:58,320 --> 01:36:00,640 Speaker 6: go the whole wire to wire season. You're asking what 2131 01:36:00,720 --> 01:36:02,760 Speaker 6: seed are they gonna be? Yeah, you're gonna ask are 2132 01:36:02,760 --> 01:36:04,120 Speaker 6: they gonna get a first round by are they going 2133 01:36:04,120 --> 01:36:06,040 Speaker 6: to Atlanta? Are they gonna play for the conference title? 2134 01:36:06,280 --> 01:36:08,560 Speaker 6: And instead it's yeah, sorry, we're gonna drop you a 2135 01:36:08,600 --> 01:36:09,960 Speaker 6: spot in the ap Bye. 2136 01:36:10,840 --> 01:36:12,360 Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I thought it makes no sense to me. 2137 01:36:13,840 --> 01:36:15,280 Speaker 1: You have other jacks. 2138 01:36:15,360 --> 01:36:17,400 Speaker 3: Jack's over here golf clapping in the corner. 2139 01:36:20,240 --> 01:36:23,880 Speaker 1: That's that's pain. That's pain coming out. Yeah. The total 2140 01:36:23,960 --> 01:36:26,200 Speaker 1: the total chaos scenario we could be looking at here, 2141 01:36:27,040 --> 01:36:32,519 Speaker 1: Georgia wins big b YU beats Texas Tech, and Duke wins. 2142 01:36:32,880 --> 01:36:37,400 Speaker 6: Okay, I can address those one at a time. B 2143 01:36:37,600 --> 01:36:40,800 Speaker 6: YU beats Texas Tech. They're both in. Yeah, b YU 2144 01:36:40,920 --> 01:36:43,080 Speaker 6: is the conference champ. Texas Tech's not gonna drop out, 2145 01:36:43,520 --> 01:36:48,200 Speaker 6: all right, Duke wins. That means two G five teams 2146 01:36:48,200 --> 01:36:51,720 Speaker 6: are going in, so Duke wouldn't be in. So at 2147 01:36:51,760 --> 01:36:54,880 Speaker 6: that point already, just with those two parameters, you have 2148 01:36:55,240 --> 01:36:58,320 Speaker 6: two G fives and two Big twelve teams. So a 2149 01:36:58,479 --> 01:37:01,800 Speaker 6: third of your playoff is going to be made up 2150 01:37:01,880 --> 01:37:05,600 Speaker 6: of G five or Big twelve? Are you going to 2151 01:37:05,680 --> 01:37:08,439 Speaker 6: drop Alabama out if they get blown out? Like I'm 2152 01:37:08,479 --> 01:37:10,519 Speaker 6: not independent of what I think should happen, I think 2153 01:37:10,520 --> 01:37:12,840 Speaker 6: the committee would drop them out, at which point you 2154 01:37:12,840 --> 01:37:15,600 Speaker 6: would have this whole side bar of chaos with the 2155 01:37:15,800 --> 01:37:19,639 Speaker 6: SEC and they would have a legit right, Georgia would 2156 01:37:19,640 --> 01:37:22,479 Speaker 6: be in. That's just going to be a crazy I mean, 2157 01:37:22,880 --> 01:37:25,240 Speaker 6: you would really get around to even asking is Notre 2158 01:37:25,320 --> 01:37:27,080 Speaker 6: Dame then, because you got to make room for all 2159 01:37:27,120 --> 01:37:30,400 Speaker 6: these teams. And by the way, my opinion is Notre 2160 01:37:30,479 --> 01:37:33,160 Speaker 6: Dame is not nearly as solidly just in the playoff 2161 01:37:33,200 --> 01:37:36,439 Speaker 6: as people assume they are, because you don't know how 2162 01:37:36,479 --> 01:37:39,600 Speaker 6: many teams you got to make room for. So I 2163 01:37:39,760 --> 01:37:41,920 Speaker 6: dropped Notre Dame out before I dropped Alabama out in 2164 01:37:42,000 --> 01:37:44,400 Speaker 6: that scenario because one of them played for conference title 2165 01:37:44,479 --> 01:37:45,840 Speaker 6: and one of them didn't, and I'm not going to 2166 01:37:45,880 --> 01:37:47,960 Speaker 6: punish them. But then the other part of that is, 2167 01:37:48,280 --> 01:37:50,439 Speaker 6: so let's just look at tomorrow night. We're recording this 2168 01:37:50,560 --> 01:37:53,920 Speaker 6: on Monday, Tuesday night, the rankings come out. We assume 2169 01:37:54,000 --> 01:37:56,479 Speaker 6: Notre Dame's probably still going to be a ranked ahead 2170 01:37:56,479 --> 01:37:59,360 Speaker 6: of Miami, but Miami's got another data point. Now, they 2171 01:37:59,400 --> 01:38:02,080 Speaker 6: went and smoke pit worse than Notre Dame did on 2172 01:38:02,200 --> 01:38:05,559 Speaker 6: the road, and we're gonna have to find out. Does 2173 01:38:05,600 --> 01:38:07,160 Speaker 6: the committee look at that and still say, yeah, we 2174 01:38:07,160 --> 01:38:09,920 Speaker 6: don't care. We just think Notre Dame's better. So we know, 2175 01:38:10,000 --> 01:38:12,400 Speaker 6: you guys played a head to head and we know 2176 01:38:12,560 --> 01:38:16,559 Speaker 6: that Miami's beaten several comparable opponents worse than Notre Dame did, 2177 01:38:16,720 --> 01:38:18,280 Speaker 6: but we don't care about that cause our eyeballs tell 2178 01:38:18,320 --> 01:38:20,000 Speaker 6: us Notre Dame is better, which I agree with. By 2179 01:38:20,040 --> 01:38:22,880 Speaker 6: the way, I just think it's irrelevant because you should 2180 01:38:22,920 --> 01:38:28,160 Speaker 6: have set parameters that actually matter, and they are enforced. 2181 01:38:28,280 --> 01:38:30,160 Speaker 6: So we got to find out where Miami and Notre 2182 01:38:30,200 --> 01:38:32,120 Speaker 6: Dame are going to be tomorrow night so that we 2183 01:38:32,160 --> 01:38:34,680 Speaker 6: can project who would potentially be left out. And then 2184 01:38:34,720 --> 01:38:37,120 Speaker 6: the you want a real chaos scenario, Ole Miss is 2185 01:38:37,160 --> 01:38:39,519 Speaker 6: sitting there as the projected seven seed, right, yeah, yeah, 2186 01:38:39,520 --> 01:38:43,360 Speaker 6: all right, well the coaching staff, yeah, coaching staff. Coaching 2187 01:38:43,400 --> 01:38:46,240 Speaker 6: staff leaves, and the committee has it in their protocol 2188 01:38:46,920 --> 01:38:50,519 Speaker 6: to redefine how good a team is if you've lost 2189 01:38:50,560 --> 01:38:52,560 Speaker 6: a player like Jordan Travis twenty. 2190 01:38:52,400 --> 01:38:55,200 Speaker 4: Twenty three undefeated State, or if you lose. 2191 01:38:55,040 --> 01:38:59,519 Speaker 6: Coaches ole Miss this year. So there is this world 2192 01:39:00,000 --> 01:39:02,040 Speaker 6: where the committee looks at Old Miss and says, sorry, guys, 2193 01:39:03,280 --> 01:39:03,880 Speaker 6: that's chaos. 2194 01:39:04,960 --> 01:39:08,720 Speaker 1: And also to that domino effect chaos two based on 2195 01:39:08,840 --> 01:39:11,519 Speaker 1: the rules of conference champion winners and everything else. It's like, 2196 01:39:11,920 --> 01:39:15,439 Speaker 1: you know, the coaches leaving at uh Tulane in North Texas. 2197 01:39:16,400 --> 01:39:18,840 Speaker 1: They'll be in there in the playoff without their head coach. Yep. 2198 01:39:18,880 --> 01:39:22,560 Speaker 6: But the structure difference there is if Tulane wins the 2199 01:39:22,600 --> 01:39:25,640 Speaker 6: American this Saturday, they're a conference champ. There's this designation 2200 01:39:25,880 --> 01:39:28,080 Speaker 6: on them. It doesn't matter if the committee thinks they're 2201 01:39:28,080 --> 01:39:30,200 Speaker 6: the worst team in the country. They've got to put 2202 01:39:30,240 --> 01:39:31,720 Speaker 6: them in if they're one of the five highest ranked 2203 01:39:31,720 --> 01:39:34,439 Speaker 6: conference champs. With Old Miss, they're just in that large team. 2204 01:39:34,880 --> 01:39:37,200 Speaker 6: So it's totally up to the committee whether they get 2205 01:39:37,240 --> 01:39:37,519 Speaker 6: put in. 2206 01:39:38,200 --> 01:39:38,640 Speaker 1: Just like it. 2207 01:39:39,120 --> 01:39:41,400 Speaker 6: It's the same with Notre Dame. It's the same with Oklahoma. 2208 01:39:41,640 --> 01:39:43,360 Speaker 6: It would be the same with Oregon. With Texas, A 2209 01:39:43,360 --> 01:39:45,760 Speaker 6: and M, they're at larges. So the committee's got to 2210 01:39:45,760 --> 01:39:47,720 Speaker 6: give you a spot you didn't technically earn it by 2211 01:39:47,880 --> 01:39:51,920 Speaker 6: this designation of being a conference champ. It's messy. It's 2212 01:39:52,000 --> 01:39:52,559 Speaker 6: really messy. 2213 01:39:53,040 --> 01:39:55,360 Speaker 3: Is this fixed or does it hurt more if you 2214 01:39:55,479 --> 01:39:57,559 Speaker 3: expand the playoff, which I know you've been a guy 2215 01:39:57,640 --> 01:40:01,439 Speaker 3: that is totally against. But then you get Vandy in 2216 01:40:01,720 --> 01:40:04,400 Speaker 3: all missstays these G five teams, I don't know what 2217 01:40:04,400 --> 01:40:05,880 Speaker 3: the hell do you even deal with them? Virginia is in. 2218 01:40:06,479 --> 01:40:08,040 Speaker 6: Let me tell you my theory. It was the same 2219 01:40:08,080 --> 01:40:10,679 Speaker 6: when it was a four team playoff. I've never thought 2220 01:40:10,800 --> 01:40:13,200 Speaker 6: that just because people are mad, it means something's wrong. 2221 01:40:14,640 --> 01:40:16,960 Speaker 6: I just think it means you have something really valuable 2222 01:40:17,080 --> 01:40:18,560 Speaker 6: and there aren't a whole lot of them, and a 2223 01:40:18,600 --> 01:40:21,560 Speaker 6: bunch of people want them, bunch of flawed teams, So 2224 01:40:21,720 --> 01:40:24,479 Speaker 6: no team's perfect up here. So we're looking at varying 2225 01:40:24,560 --> 01:40:27,280 Speaker 6: degrees of flawed resumes and we're trying to find the 2226 01:40:27,320 --> 01:40:29,760 Speaker 6: twelve least flawed. Although you could argue that's not really 2227 01:40:29,840 --> 01:40:32,840 Speaker 6: the case with the whole G five thing. But no, 2228 01:40:33,080 --> 01:40:35,639 Speaker 6: I don't think you should ever expand it. You can't 2229 01:40:35,800 --> 01:40:40,040 Speaker 6: expand the playoff enough to ever stop conversation and ever 2230 01:40:40,160 --> 01:40:43,640 Speaker 6: stop anger, and ever stop hurt feelings. It would be 2231 01:40:43,720 --> 01:40:46,000 Speaker 6: the exact same Like people always say this, but they're right. 2232 01:40:46,400 --> 01:40:47,920 Speaker 6: You would have to expand the thing to one hundred 2233 01:40:47,920 --> 01:40:51,640 Speaker 6: and thirty six teams before you fully rid yourself of 2234 01:40:51,680 --> 01:40:54,680 Speaker 6: people being upset that they got left out. So you 2235 01:40:54,840 --> 01:40:57,200 Speaker 6: either expand it to the point where there are still 2236 01:40:57,240 --> 01:41:01,400 Speaker 6: some upset people and hurt feelings, but it's really really 2237 01:41:01,560 --> 01:41:04,920 Speaker 6: must see stuff late November early December, or you expand 2238 01:41:05,000 --> 01:41:07,640 Speaker 6: it to the point where not only does everyone who 2239 01:41:07,720 --> 01:41:09,800 Speaker 6: deserves to get in get in, but we also probably 2240 01:41:09,840 --> 01:41:11,240 Speaker 6: throw in a few that don't deserve to get in, 2241 01:41:11,600 --> 01:41:13,960 Speaker 6: Like what puts more value, what puts more premium on 2242 01:41:14,040 --> 01:41:15,000 Speaker 6: regular season games? 2243 01:41:16,120 --> 01:41:17,439 Speaker 3: Those who deserve to get in get in. 2244 01:41:17,880 --> 01:41:20,760 Speaker 6: And maybe if one or two have to get left out, 2245 01:41:21,200 --> 01:41:23,400 Speaker 6: that just means the room's really packed. Like no one 2246 01:41:23,479 --> 01:41:26,720 Speaker 6: stands in line to get into a building where there's 2247 01:41:26,800 --> 01:41:29,320 Speaker 6: room for everyone. You stand in line because it's pretty 2248 01:41:29,360 --> 01:41:31,680 Speaker 6: exclusive and it means something to get in there. 2249 01:41:32,680 --> 01:41:35,240 Speaker 3: Do you think we have this issue? If it was 2250 01:41:35,320 --> 01:41:37,280 Speaker 3: we were back in time and it's a fourteen. 2251 01:41:36,960 --> 01:41:39,839 Speaker 6: Playoff, you always had the issue. It's just you wouldn't 2252 01:41:39,840 --> 01:41:42,599 Speaker 6: be arguing about twelve, thirteen, fourteen because you would know, man, 2253 01:41:42,640 --> 01:41:44,840 Speaker 6: they were way on the outside your logic. There is 2254 01:41:44,880 --> 01:41:47,120 Speaker 6: what I always think about when I'm getting upset, Like 2255 01:41:47,320 --> 01:41:50,080 Speaker 6: I'll get upset inevitably about someone getting left out of 2256 01:41:50,120 --> 01:41:52,439 Speaker 6: this thing. But I always try and tell myself, you 2257 01:41:52,640 --> 01:41:54,880 Speaker 6: just think back to the four team era. You're arguing 2258 01:41:54,960 --> 01:41:57,360 Speaker 6: about teams right now that would have been way way 2259 01:41:57,520 --> 01:42:00,280 Speaker 6: way outside the four team field. And even back then 2260 01:42:00,360 --> 01:42:02,120 Speaker 6: we used to say, dude, there aren't four teams that 2261 01:42:02,160 --> 01:42:04,599 Speaker 6: can win a title this year, just like this year 2262 01:42:04,680 --> 01:42:07,240 Speaker 6: there probably aren't six, seven, eight teams that are going 2263 01:42:07,320 --> 01:42:09,000 Speaker 6: to be able to win a title with how Ohio 2264 01:42:09,080 --> 01:42:12,920 Speaker 6: State looks. So we're really arguing semantics and you get 2265 01:42:13,000 --> 01:42:16,479 Speaker 6: sucked into it, like I feel good about Vandy. I 2266 01:42:16,600 --> 01:42:18,400 Speaker 6: love what they've done. I think it would be insane 2267 01:42:18,439 --> 01:42:20,240 Speaker 6: if Bama got left out because they're in the SEC 2268 01:42:20,400 --> 01:42:23,439 Speaker 6: championship game. You're crazy if you punish Ole Miss because 2269 01:42:23,479 --> 01:42:25,720 Speaker 6: they lost their coaching staff, which those players have no 2270 01:42:25,800 --> 01:42:28,519 Speaker 6: control over. Do I think any of them are going 2271 01:42:28,560 --> 01:42:30,840 Speaker 6: to win a national title? Probably not. And if that's 2272 01:42:30,880 --> 01:42:32,720 Speaker 6: the whole purpose of this thing, I know there are 2273 01:42:32,800 --> 01:42:35,600 Speaker 6: dual compartments. I understand two different conversations. 2274 01:42:37,240 --> 01:42:40,360 Speaker 3: Yeah, this is a this is why college football is 2275 01:42:40,360 --> 01:42:40,599 Speaker 3: the best. 2276 01:42:40,680 --> 01:42:42,519 Speaker 6: It's going to be a mess man. Yeah, there's no 2277 01:42:42,600 --> 01:42:43,120 Speaker 6: way around it. 2278 01:42:44,040 --> 01:42:45,000 Speaker 1: I love the chaos. 2279 01:42:45,160 --> 01:42:45,320 Speaker 2: Man. 2280 01:42:46,800 --> 01:42:49,720 Speaker 1: It's like, I just want the twelve best. Like we're 2281 01:42:49,720 --> 01:42:52,679 Speaker 1: sitting here waiting on some of these games to matter, 2282 01:42:52,720 --> 01:42:55,080 Speaker 1: and a couple of the championship games don't even matter 2283 01:42:55,160 --> 01:42:56,800 Speaker 1: this weekend, so you want to see how that's all 2284 01:42:56,840 --> 01:43:00,240 Speaker 1: going to play out. And we're this scenario where you 2285 01:43:00,280 --> 01:43:02,400 Speaker 1: got a couple of big twelve teams in, couple G 2286 01:43:02,600 --> 01:43:05,040 Speaker 1: five teams in Do you leave out Miami? Do you 2287 01:43:05,160 --> 01:43:08,920 Speaker 1: leave out Notre Dame. It's like they Miami Notre Dame 2288 01:43:09,000 --> 01:43:13,559 Speaker 1: are very strongly uh, one of the twelve best teams 2289 01:43:13,600 --> 01:43:18,120 Speaker 1: in college football? Yeah, yeah, yeah, same with Vanderbilt. You 2290 01:43:18,240 --> 01:43:21,040 Speaker 1: got this Texas noise being louder than ever. Now let 2291 01:43:21,040 --> 01:43:22,960 Speaker 1: me say that sometimes it weirdly makes sense. 2292 01:43:23,040 --> 01:43:25,080 Speaker 3: Yeah, they do a great job of like spinning out 2293 01:43:25,120 --> 01:43:26,360 Speaker 3: semantics are very good. 2294 01:43:26,800 --> 01:43:29,879 Speaker 6: Let me say this about Miami. Miami has put themselves 2295 01:43:29,880 --> 01:43:33,240 Speaker 6: in this position. Okay, so you can't be losing to 2296 01:43:33,400 --> 01:43:35,600 Speaker 6: Louisville and SMU. You can lose one of them, you 2297 01:43:35,680 --> 01:43:37,880 Speaker 6: can't lose both. So I'm not trying to absolve them 2298 01:43:37,920 --> 01:43:40,360 Speaker 6: of that. It's one their fault they're even in this position. 2299 01:43:41,120 --> 01:43:43,519 Speaker 6: But like I said, we got to apply that logic evenly. 2300 01:43:43,840 --> 01:43:46,479 Speaker 6: So Notre Dame lost a couple of games, including one 2301 01:43:46,600 --> 01:43:48,479 Speaker 6: at home to A and m off a buy in 2302 01:43:48,560 --> 01:43:51,839 Speaker 6: desperation mode. Don't be losing that game. So, like everyone 2303 01:43:51,960 --> 01:43:55,040 Speaker 6: has put themselves in these positions. Bama minus three turnovers 2304 01:43:55,040 --> 01:43:57,640 Speaker 6: against Oklahoma, that's why you're in this position. So if 2305 01:43:57,680 --> 01:44:01,719 Speaker 6: we remove that sentiment from the equation, I'm not picking 2306 01:44:01,760 --> 01:44:03,680 Speaker 6: Miami to win a national title even if they get 2307 01:44:03,760 --> 01:44:06,160 Speaker 6: in the playoff. But I will say if you were 2308 01:44:06,200 --> 01:44:10,000 Speaker 6: to ask Georgia or Ohio State or Indiana's coaching staff, 2309 01:44:10,720 --> 01:44:14,160 Speaker 6: the one group of personnel that would concern them the 2310 01:44:14,240 --> 01:44:18,559 Speaker 6: most are the defensive guys that Miami has because they 2311 01:44:18,640 --> 01:44:21,519 Speaker 6: probably have the two best ends in college football right now, 2312 01:44:22,000 --> 01:44:26,800 Speaker 6: extremely good, like long good future Sunday athletes that could 2313 01:44:26,840 --> 01:44:29,280 Speaker 6: give you problems. They're probably not going to win four 2314 01:44:29,360 --> 01:44:31,720 Speaker 6: games to go win at all, but they in a 2315 01:44:31,840 --> 01:44:34,720 Speaker 6: one off scenario could give you way more problems than 2316 01:44:34,800 --> 01:44:36,519 Speaker 6: probably some of these other teams that are going to 2317 01:44:36,560 --> 01:44:36,760 Speaker 6: get in. 2318 01:44:37,160 --> 01:44:37,400 Speaker 3: Yeah. 2319 01:44:38,840 --> 01:44:41,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, Chris Ball talking about it's like Jurassic Park every 2320 01:44:41,160 --> 01:44:42,360 Speaker 1: day at practice with those guys. 2321 01:44:43,600 --> 01:44:45,519 Speaker 6: He's not wrong, he's not wrong. 2322 01:44:46,200 --> 01:44:50,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, this whole G five thing, I don't get it. 2323 01:44:50,240 --> 01:44:53,280 Speaker 3: I don't understand it. I don't know why they would 2324 01:44:53,280 --> 01:44:55,839 Speaker 3: be allowed to be in just because they won their conference. 2325 01:44:56,240 --> 01:44:59,760 Speaker 1: It's like, what the rules and stuff? Yeah, several times 2326 01:45:00,080 --> 01:45:00,880 Speaker 1: the last few weeks. 2327 01:45:00,920 --> 01:45:02,479 Speaker 6: I'll tell you what I think the change is gonna be. 2328 01:45:03,400 --> 01:45:05,320 Speaker 6: I think the change that they could make right now 2329 01:45:05,960 --> 01:45:08,880 Speaker 6: that would greatly absolve this is keep all the rules 2330 01:45:08,960 --> 01:45:12,120 Speaker 6: as they are, but make the rule where your five 2331 01:45:12,280 --> 01:45:15,160 Speaker 6: highest ranked conference champs all have to be ranked at 2332 01:45:15,160 --> 01:45:18,080 Speaker 6: a certain level, like they all have to be top fifteen, 2333 01:45:18,800 --> 01:45:22,439 Speaker 6: so that if Duke wins Saturday, or North Texas wins 2334 01:45:22,800 --> 01:45:26,360 Speaker 6: or JMU wins, they're a conference champ. If they're not 2335 01:45:26,479 --> 01:45:29,599 Speaker 6: in the top fifteen at least, then we're just gonna 2336 01:45:29,640 --> 01:45:32,720 Speaker 6: override it and you're not getting it large. Yeah, it 2337 01:45:32,800 --> 01:45:33,880 Speaker 6: just comes in a large spot. 2338 01:45:34,400 --> 01:45:34,439 Speaker 2: No. 2339 01:45:34,560 --> 01:45:36,280 Speaker 6: I like that a lot because if you did that, 2340 01:45:36,920 --> 01:45:41,600 Speaker 6: let's say Duke wins Saturday, you're probably changing three spots. Right. 2341 01:45:41,680 --> 01:45:43,800 Speaker 6: Let's just say the G five gets to keep one spot, 2342 01:45:44,320 --> 01:45:46,160 Speaker 6: so you're gonna have one G five in, but you 2343 01:45:46,240 --> 01:45:49,320 Speaker 6: would free up two other spots that right now are 2344 01:45:49,360 --> 01:45:52,040 Speaker 6: gonna be held by G five and whoever else makes 2345 01:45:52,120 --> 01:45:54,920 Speaker 6: that so or at least one other spot. So yeah, 2346 01:45:55,000 --> 01:45:58,679 Speaker 6: I think they will move pretty immediately. They can't rid 2347 01:45:58,840 --> 01:46:01,559 Speaker 6: the playoff of G five because it's illegal, so they 2348 01:46:01,600 --> 01:46:04,000 Speaker 6: can't do that. What they can do is keep the 2349 01:46:04,080 --> 01:46:06,840 Speaker 6: G five with one spot and make sure in the 2350 01:46:06,920 --> 01:46:09,200 Speaker 6: future the GFI is not getting more than one spot, 2351 01:46:09,240 --> 01:46:10,320 Speaker 6: because everyone knows it's. 2352 01:46:10,200 --> 01:46:13,920 Speaker 3: A farce, right, if there's two spots open, who are you, 2353 01:46:14,160 --> 01:46:19,400 Speaker 3: Josh pay giving the nod to at largest? Yeah. If 2354 01:46:19,439 --> 01:46:22,040 Speaker 3: we said, hey, the G five that doesn't exist anymore. 2355 01:46:22,160 --> 01:46:24,639 Speaker 3: Duke beats Virginia, so ACC is kind of out. 2356 01:46:25,800 --> 01:46:30,080 Speaker 6: Probably Miami and Vanderbilt would the would be the two, 2357 01:46:30,240 --> 01:46:32,439 Speaker 6: but then Texas would come in and say if we're 2358 01:46:32,479 --> 01:46:35,040 Speaker 6: even in that conversation, we belong in over Vandy because 2359 01:46:35,080 --> 01:46:37,519 Speaker 6: we beat them, right, so I'd be I'd be okay 2360 01:46:37,640 --> 01:46:39,720 Speaker 6: with that's. 2361 01:46:39,040 --> 01:46:42,360 Speaker 1: Crazy to Texas. Three loss, but they did beat Vanderbilt yep. 2362 01:46:42,520 --> 01:46:45,000 Speaker 3: Three top ten teams, right, Yeah. 2363 01:46:47,520 --> 01:46:48,400 Speaker 6: Well sure did. 2364 01:46:49,880 --> 01:46:50,320 Speaker 1: Took care. 2365 01:46:50,400 --> 01:46:53,439 Speaker 3: O you took care O you, and O you to 2366 01:46:53,560 --> 01:46:56,080 Speaker 3: me is one of the more unstable teams in this 2367 01:46:56,160 --> 01:46:58,439 Speaker 3: whole bracket. Like their defense is really good, but they 2368 01:46:58,439 --> 01:46:59,839 Speaker 3: don't really do a whole lot on offense. 2369 01:47:01,200 --> 01:47:04,120 Speaker 1: But their schedule against anybody else, like they've taken care 2370 01:47:04,160 --> 01:47:06,240 Speaker 1: of business they needed to to where they're a two 2371 01:47:06,320 --> 01:47:10,519 Speaker 1: loss team, but it's like they yeah, yep, like they're in. 2372 01:47:11,439 --> 01:47:14,320 Speaker 1: What do you do if BYU loses by a game 2373 01:47:14,400 --> 01:47:15,559 Speaker 1: winning field goal against Texas? 2374 01:47:15,600 --> 01:47:17,200 Speaker 6: Deck you got to see where they're ranked tomorrow night. 2375 01:47:17,439 --> 01:47:19,519 Speaker 6: If they're not in the top ten, they're not going 2376 01:47:19,600 --> 01:47:21,280 Speaker 6: to be in. So they got to be in the 2377 01:47:21,320 --> 01:47:23,400 Speaker 6: top ten. It's the same thing with Bama, only I 2378 01:47:23,479 --> 01:47:26,080 Speaker 6: think BYU is even more vulnerable to getting bumped out 2379 01:47:26,080 --> 01:47:27,559 Speaker 6: because they're in an inferior conference. 2380 01:47:27,760 --> 01:47:31,240 Speaker 1: Absolutely. I guess my argument is like like for BYU 2381 01:47:31,439 --> 01:47:33,679 Speaker 1: is like when you're looking at all these all this chaos, 2382 01:47:33,800 --> 01:47:36,479 Speaker 1: all the semantics, BYU would have only lost their only 2383 01:47:36,560 --> 01:47:39,519 Speaker 1: team that they've lost to is Texas Tech. Yeah, and 2384 01:47:39,600 --> 01:47:41,400 Speaker 1: if they're losing on a game winning field goal in 2385 01:47:41,479 --> 01:47:44,400 Speaker 1: the Big Twelve Championship and that one team you beat him, Yes, 2386 01:47:44,439 --> 01:47:46,519 Speaker 1: they have two losses, but they've only lost to one team, 2387 01:47:46,920 --> 01:47:48,880 Speaker 1: that one team who beat them. That's what gets them out. 2388 01:47:49,120 --> 01:47:51,599 Speaker 1: Whereas if if both if the game winning field goal 2389 01:47:51,680 --> 01:47:54,160 Speaker 1: for Texas Tech happens, and say Bama loses in their 2390 01:47:54,280 --> 01:47:56,800 Speaker 1: three loss team but you can't keep you can't keep 2391 01:47:56,880 --> 01:48:00,800 Speaker 1: Alabama out, but you you bump out bye. Like again, 2392 01:48:01,280 --> 01:48:03,000 Speaker 1: I'm here for the ride. I think you're gonna have 2393 01:48:03,120 --> 01:48:05,840 Speaker 1: popcorns in there. I love all the chaos. I love 2394 01:48:05,920 --> 01:48:07,640 Speaker 1: rooting for all these teams in a weird way, but 2395 01:48:07,760 --> 01:48:10,599 Speaker 1: also shitting on teams in a weird way. I love 2396 01:48:10,680 --> 01:48:11,680 Speaker 1: all the entertainment. You know. 2397 01:48:11,760 --> 01:48:14,880 Speaker 6: The other thing is with the SEC is I think 2398 01:48:14,920 --> 01:48:17,120 Speaker 6: it's a low key, really good thing for Bama that 2399 01:48:17,240 --> 01:48:20,000 Speaker 6: Georgia got in the SEC title game, because even if 2400 01:48:20,040 --> 01:48:22,160 Speaker 6: you lose to them, you get to make the argument 2401 01:48:22,760 --> 01:48:25,040 Speaker 6: we went into their building and beat them earlier in 2402 01:48:25,080 --> 01:48:28,080 Speaker 6: the year, so you're telling us we're getting bumped out 2403 01:48:28,080 --> 01:48:30,560 Speaker 6: because we couldn't beat Georgia. No, we already did, and 2404 01:48:30,640 --> 01:48:32,680 Speaker 6: we beat them in their building early in the year, 2405 01:48:33,080 --> 01:48:35,760 Speaker 6: and then we got penalized because we earned the right 2406 01:48:36,040 --> 01:48:38,240 Speaker 6: to play them again and we couldn't beat them a 2407 01:48:38,280 --> 01:48:41,120 Speaker 6: second time around. Like, I don't need to make the 2408 01:48:41,160 --> 01:48:43,400 Speaker 6: talking points for the SEC because they're pretty obvious in 2409 01:48:43,479 --> 01:48:46,720 Speaker 6: that scenario. But with Brigham Young just watched the show 2410 01:48:46,760 --> 01:48:49,960 Speaker 6: tomorrow night. And if they're behind Alabama already, which I 2411 01:48:49,960 --> 01:48:51,880 Speaker 6: think they will be, if you get that apples to 2412 01:48:51,920 --> 01:48:56,160 Speaker 6: apples comparison, they'll have no leverage over Alabama. Yeah, yeah, 2413 01:48:56,160 --> 01:48:57,880 Speaker 6: they won't. I don't think they'll be in Yeah. 2414 01:49:00,000 --> 01:49:02,080 Speaker 1: Shall it be fun? Should we dive into some some 2415 01:49:02,240 --> 01:49:02,799 Speaker 1: Lane Kiffin? 2416 01:49:03,240 --> 01:49:04,639 Speaker 6: Who, buddy, some Lane Kiffin. 2417 01:49:04,920 --> 01:49:07,080 Speaker 1: Something happened, buddy? 2418 01:49:09,280 --> 01:49:12,400 Speaker 3: Where do we stand on this whole thing? There's a 2419 01:49:12,400 --> 01:49:15,240 Speaker 3: PC feels bad for the players. Yeah, I understand why 2420 01:49:15,360 --> 01:49:18,120 Speaker 3: Keith Carter will I completely understand why Keith Carter won't 2421 01:49:18,160 --> 01:49:20,679 Speaker 3: let Lane coach. Yeah, that like makes too much sense. 2422 01:49:20,680 --> 01:49:22,719 Speaker 3: At the same time, it's like, but these kids probably 2423 01:49:22,760 --> 01:49:24,960 Speaker 3: want a real shot at going after a title, so 2424 01:49:25,040 --> 01:49:26,960 Speaker 3: they would probably lean towards Hey, we want Lane to 2425 01:49:27,000 --> 01:49:28,479 Speaker 3: coach us even though he's gonna poach us. 2426 01:49:28,640 --> 01:49:30,880 Speaker 6: H all right, can you read this right quick? Can 2427 01:49:30,960 --> 01:49:33,240 Speaker 6: we just bat this down right quick? So read that 2428 01:49:33,360 --> 01:49:33,600 Speaker 6: for me? 2429 01:49:33,720 --> 01:49:36,360 Speaker 1: Okay, we got some tear talk right here from Washington's tate. 2430 01:49:36,479 --> 01:49:38,960 Speaker 1: The Washington State. Hard to complain about a kid's loyalty 2431 01:49:39,000 --> 01:49:41,280 Speaker 1: and the transfer portal when the coaches they look up 2432 01:49:41,320 --> 01:49:42,080 Speaker 1: to are even worse. 2433 01:49:42,120 --> 01:49:44,080 Speaker 6: All right, There is a lot of truth on the 2434 01:49:44,160 --> 01:49:47,880 Speaker 6: surface to this, because coaches are looking around constantly. I mean, 2435 01:49:47,960 --> 01:49:51,560 Speaker 6: coaches are demanding loyalty and yet they jump at the 2436 01:49:51,640 --> 01:49:55,560 Speaker 6: first opportunity they get. I that part is accurate. A 2437 01:49:55,640 --> 01:49:59,400 Speaker 6: lot of people have been saying, the players are you know, 2438 01:49:59,640 --> 01:50:01,559 Speaker 6: like I was dealing with this this morning on another show, 2439 01:50:01,720 --> 01:50:04,040 Speaker 6: someone said, Man, the players don't need to open their 2440 01:50:04,080 --> 01:50:06,639 Speaker 6: mouths on this. They're a little hypocritical because the players 2441 01:50:06,680 --> 01:50:08,920 Speaker 6: are always moving around. So how can those players at 2442 01:50:08,960 --> 01:50:13,000 Speaker 6: all miss theoretically complain about Lane Kiffin leaving. Well, the 2443 01:50:13,040 --> 01:50:15,240 Speaker 6: players don't leave in the middle of the season. The 2444 01:50:15,280 --> 01:50:18,000 Speaker 6: players don't get to the playoff and then say I'm out, 2445 01:50:18,520 --> 01:50:20,879 Speaker 6: And so this is a little bit apples to oranges 2446 01:50:20,960 --> 01:50:22,799 Speaker 6: on that front. All right, So there are two sides 2447 01:50:22,880 --> 01:50:25,960 Speaker 6: to that question that he just asked. But then the 2448 01:50:26,040 --> 01:50:28,559 Speaker 6: follow up to that is, even if the players were 2449 01:50:28,600 --> 01:50:30,960 Speaker 6: able to leave in the middle of the season, or 2450 01:50:31,320 --> 01:50:33,439 Speaker 6: the players are able to leave and go as many 2451 01:50:33,479 --> 01:50:35,720 Speaker 6: places as that they want to right now, it's just 2452 01:50:35,960 --> 01:50:38,360 Speaker 6: like Lane Kiffin having to take this job right now. 2453 01:50:38,520 --> 01:50:40,680 Speaker 6: It's just like coaching searches having to happen in the 2454 01:50:40,720 --> 01:50:42,360 Speaker 6: middle of the season. It all gets tied back to 2455 01:50:42,400 --> 01:50:44,880 Speaker 6: the same thing that you have no discernible structure in 2456 01:50:44,920 --> 01:50:48,960 Speaker 6: the sport. So the players didn't write the rules, Lane Kiffin, 2457 01:50:49,160 --> 01:50:51,960 Speaker 6: the ad at Old Miss, the ad at LSU, they 2458 01:50:51,960 --> 01:50:54,240 Speaker 6: didn't write the rules. They didn't make the calendar, so 2459 01:50:54,720 --> 01:50:57,000 Speaker 6: you don't have to carry water for these people. Lane 2460 01:50:57,000 --> 01:50:59,200 Speaker 6: could have handled this a whole lot better, But it's 2461 01:50:59,280 --> 01:51:03,280 Speaker 6: not running in appearance for any one person to generically say, dude, 2462 01:51:03,280 --> 01:51:06,120 Speaker 6: how about we fix the calendar here to where this 2463 01:51:06,240 --> 01:51:09,800 Speaker 6: doesn't have to happen. Like I highly doubt Lane Kiffin 2464 01:51:09,880 --> 01:51:11,280 Speaker 6: woke up one morning and said, you know what I 2465 01:51:11,360 --> 01:51:13,439 Speaker 6: want in the middle of this playoff run, this historic 2466 01:51:13,520 --> 01:51:15,680 Speaker 6: season at ole Miss, I'd love to leave in the 2467 01:51:15,720 --> 01:51:17,519 Speaker 6: middle of it and take a new job, right I 2468 01:51:17,680 --> 01:51:18,519 Speaker 6: doubt that happened. 2469 01:51:19,000 --> 01:51:23,360 Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't think. I think we're just the biggest 2470 01:51:23,360 --> 01:51:25,479 Speaker 3: issue is the calendar. That's the biggest problem. 2471 01:51:26,320 --> 01:51:29,519 Speaker 1: But people are aware of People are aware of that now, Yeah, 2472 01:51:29,600 --> 01:51:30,400 Speaker 1: people were aware. 2473 01:51:30,439 --> 01:51:31,280 Speaker 6: It weren't finally. 2474 01:51:32,000 --> 01:51:33,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like we on the macro. It is like 2475 01:51:34,240 --> 01:51:36,479 Speaker 1: it's the coaching calendar. Like Lamee was put in a 2476 01:51:36,600 --> 01:51:39,640 Speaker 1: very tough spot and guys like us, it's like you 2477 01:51:39,680 --> 01:51:42,360 Speaker 1: could sit here and be torn. I know for me personally, 2478 01:51:42,360 --> 01:51:44,960 Speaker 1: it's like you're torn on how you feel because now 2479 01:51:45,040 --> 01:51:48,439 Speaker 1: as a fan as what we do, the entertainment aspect, 2480 01:51:48,520 --> 01:51:51,000 Speaker 1: the TV series that goes on with Lane Kiff and 2481 01:51:51,040 --> 01:51:52,960 Speaker 1: you love diving. In all that, I think it's it's 2482 01:51:53,000 --> 01:51:55,720 Speaker 1: great for college football. But the other side, having been 2483 01:51:56,000 --> 01:51:58,360 Speaker 1: been a player, I'm sitting there thinking, like, man if 2484 01:51:58,439 --> 01:52:01,240 Speaker 1: Paulini or something, this would have happened in the middle 2485 01:52:01,280 --> 01:52:04,360 Speaker 1: of my senior year or not. Not, Like thinking the 2486 01:52:04,439 --> 01:52:06,840 Speaker 1: guys that we had and it happens during our senior year, 2487 01:52:06,920 --> 01:52:08,760 Speaker 1: during our run, we're going to the playoff. We're sitting 2488 01:52:08,760 --> 01:52:12,040 Speaker 1: there at eleven and one. I would be gutted, right, 2489 01:52:12,160 --> 01:52:13,920 Speaker 1: I would be gutted as a player, Like think of 2490 01:52:14,040 --> 01:52:19,320 Speaker 1: a what's the quarterbacks name Childress or Trinidad, Yeah, Trinidad. 2491 01:52:19,360 --> 01:52:22,320 Speaker 1: It's like him knowing his offensive staff is gone in 2492 01:52:22,400 --> 01:52:24,880 Speaker 1: the middle of what Ole Miss has done this year, 2493 01:52:24,960 --> 01:52:27,479 Speaker 1: all those offensive players, because really it's the offensive side that's. 2494 01:52:27,280 --> 01:52:30,479 Speaker 3: Been gutted after being a D two cat comes and transfer, Yeah, 2495 01:52:30,640 --> 01:52:32,599 Speaker 3: was a backup, and then takes over and keeps them 2496 01:52:32,600 --> 01:52:33,120 Speaker 3: in the historian. 2497 01:52:33,200 --> 01:52:35,680 Speaker 1: It's all short it's it's all short term vision for 2498 01:52:35,760 --> 01:52:37,519 Speaker 1: those guys right now that are trying to finish up 2499 01:52:37,520 --> 01:52:39,800 Speaker 1: a season that they started, that they earned. Been in 2500 01:52:39,840 --> 01:52:43,160 Speaker 1: all these conversations. So that's where I sit there and 2501 01:52:43,200 --> 01:52:46,400 Speaker 1: get torn because it's like, I hate it for those players. 2502 01:52:46,560 --> 01:52:47,280 Speaker 3: I hate it for the. 2503 01:52:47,280 --> 01:52:49,840 Speaker 1: Players because I'm just thinking of that situation had it 2504 01:52:49,920 --> 01:52:53,120 Speaker 1: been with myself at Nebraska, and you're just like, it 2505 01:52:53,320 --> 01:52:55,080 Speaker 1: sucks that it has to be that way. If you 2506 01:52:55,120 --> 01:52:56,519 Speaker 1: pull yourself all the way out of it and look 2507 01:52:56,520 --> 01:52:58,719 Speaker 1: at it from thirty thousand feet, it's all the calendar 2508 01:52:58,800 --> 01:53:01,560 Speaker 1: like they're putting these tough spots, but then you zoom in. 2509 01:53:01,600 --> 01:53:03,840 Speaker 1: You want to get the popcorn. Popcorn ready for this 2510 01:53:03,960 --> 01:53:06,840 Speaker 1: Gossip Girl series with Lane Giffen, he did handle a 2511 01:53:06,960 --> 01:53:10,160 Speaker 1: tough situation very poorly, And now I see why Old 2512 01:53:10,200 --> 01:53:13,479 Speaker 1: Miss fans are pissed. It's like, I'm excited for him 2513 01:53:13,520 --> 01:53:15,200 Speaker 1: to go to LSU because I think he's gonna be 2514 01:53:15,240 --> 01:53:18,439 Speaker 1: good at LSU. All just all the drama. I love 2515 01:53:18,479 --> 01:53:21,160 Speaker 1: all the drama. I see every side. It sucks and 2516 01:53:21,840 --> 01:53:22,599 Speaker 1: he's at LSU. 2517 01:53:22,680 --> 01:53:26,000 Speaker 3: Now I'm not disagreeing, But what did Lane Kiffin do 2518 01:53:26,080 --> 01:53:28,639 Speaker 3: to handle this poorly other than the calendar just made 2519 01:53:28,720 --> 01:53:29,400 Speaker 3: him make a decision. 2520 01:53:29,479 --> 01:53:33,280 Speaker 1: Now, just leave it the hard strings of everybody. 2521 01:53:35,760 --> 01:53:37,000 Speaker 3: Lane in general, though, that is. 2522 01:53:38,600 --> 01:53:42,439 Speaker 1: That doesn't justify how everybody else should subjectively look at him. 2523 01:53:42,439 --> 01:53:44,479 Speaker 1: It's like, oh that's Lane. It's like, no bro like you. 2524 01:53:45,320 --> 01:53:48,160 Speaker 1: It's the middle of the night and he's dropping a 2525 01:53:48,280 --> 01:53:52,280 Speaker 1: tweet through his dog's Twitter account's Ole Miss and Georgia 2526 01:53:52,680 --> 01:53:54,000 Speaker 1: and being like, I just want to know they're going 2527 01:53:54,080 --> 01:53:55,880 Speaker 1: to allow dogs here. And this is in the middle 2528 01:53:55,880 --> 01:53:59,479 Speaker 1: of when Marty Smith is dying, he's getting weaker and older, 2529 01:53:59,840 --> 01:54:01,400 Speaker 1: just just wanting to know if there's a decision going 2530 01:54:01,439 --> 01:54:03,519 Speaker 1: to be made because they're all everybody's sitting in that 2531 01:54:03,560 --> 01:54:05,160 Speaker 1: house trying to figure everything out. And then a dog 2532 01:54:05,240 --> 01:54:05,920 Speaker 1: tweet goes out. 2533 01:54:06,479 --> 01:54:09,559 Speaker 6: That was a hostage situation over there, hostage. Army Smith 2534 01:54:09,680 --> 01:54:12,439 Speaker 6: survived this. He didn't cover it. He survived this. 2535 01:54:12,880 --> 01:54:13,920 Speaker 1: But you know what you just said. 2536 01:54:13,960 --> 01:54:17,040 Speaker 6: You just said a point and then another point and 2537 01:54:17,160 --> 01:54:20,000 Speaker 6: another point, and you offered like thirty seven perspectives. The 2538 01:54:20,080 --> 01:54:22,920 Speaker 6: crazy thing about this is have you heard anyone offer 2539 01:54:23,640 --> 01:54:25,880 Speaker 6: another slant on this that you've heard and said? Man, 2540 01:54:25,920 --> 01:54:29,880 Speaker 6: I totally disagree with that. I've agreed with what everyone 2541 01:54:29,920 --> 01:54:31,840 Speaker 6: has said because there's so many different angles on it. 2542 01:54:31,880 --> 01:54:34,000 Speaker 6: I'll give you one more. Be an old miss fan, 2543 01:54:34,120 --> 01:54:36,840 Speaker 6: be an old miss donor right now, but rewind six years. 2544 01:54:37,280 --> 01:54:40,200 Speaker 6: Lane Kiffin is down in Boca. He is the head 2545 01:54:40,240 --> 01:54:44,360 Speaker 6: coach at FAU. He is toxic, he is radioactive. Nick 2546 01:54:44,400 --> 01:54:46,600 Speaker 6: Saban is a few years removed from firing him the 2547 01:54:46,640 --> 01:54:49,040 Speaker 6: week of a national championship game to get him out 2548 01:54:49,040 --> 01:54:51,600 Speaker 6: of his building. No one will touch him, and he's 2549 01:54:51,720 --> 01:54:53,880 Speaker 6: just dying for a job. He's dying for a shot. 2550 01:54:54,320 --> 01:54:56,560 Speaker 6: And Ole Miss is the one major program in the 2551 01:54:56,680 --> 01:54:58,840 Speaker 6: SEC that's willing to give him a shot when no 2552 01:54:58,920 --> 01:55:01,480 Speaker 6: one would touch him. Not only that, he comes there, 2553 01:55:01,600 --> 01:55:04,680 Speaker 6: he starts to win. He tries to get out once 2554 01:55:04,880 --> 01:55:08,960 Speaker 6: or twice, and teams still won't touch him. And then 2555 01:55:09,240 --> 01:55:11,840 Speaker 6: he kind of toys with Auburn buddy reverses course of 2556 01:55:11,880 --> 01:55:14,480 Speaker 6: the eleventh hour. But finally you get to the point 2557 01:55:14,760 --> 01:55:17,800 Speaker 6: six years later where we've got a shot, both of us, Like, 2558 01:55:18,000 --> 01:55:20,320 Speaker 6: we've paid you, you've returned it to us in kind, 2559 01:55:20,480 --> 01:55:22,760 Speaker 6: but we got a shot to do something historic, and 2560 01:55:22,960 --> 01:55:25,680 Speaker 6: we gave you your opportunity. Ls you would never touch you. 2561 01:55:25,960 --> 01:55:29,080 Speaker 6: They laughed at us for hiring you, so did Florida, 2562 01:55:29,160 --> 01:55:33,800 Speaker 6: and now they waited and you rehabilitated your image on 2563 01:55:33,920 --> 01:55:36,680 Speaker 6: our dime, and you're telling us that when we finally 2564 01:55:36,760 --> 01:55:39,640 Speaker 6: got here, we're getting the payoff finally for giving you 2565 01:55:39,800 --> 01:55:42,200 Speaker 6: your shot. We gave you all this money, We said 2566 01:55:42,280 --> 01:55:44,720 Speaker 6: yes to everything. We let your dog have his own 2567 01:55:44,720 --> 01:55:46,800 Speaker 6: a Twitter account, like we did everything you wanted us to. 2568 01:55:47,600 --> 01:55:50,920 Speaker 6: You're you're just by. You're you're going to do an 2569 01:55:50,920 --> 01:55:53,600 Speaker 6: interview with Marty Smith on a tarmac, same place you 2570 01:55:53,720 --> 01:55:56,040 Speaker 6: got fired at USC You're going to interview on a 2571 01:55:56,080 --> 01:55:58,879 Speaker 6: tarmac and you're out of here. And who could disagree 2572 01:55:58,920 --> 01:56:02,040 Speaker 6: with that? So all the points of view I've heard 2573 01:56:02,160 --> 01:56:04,120 Speaker 6: I agree with, I haven't heard anyone say anything where 2574 01:56:04,120 --> 01:56:05,680 Speaker 6: I'm like, I don't think that's true. Yeah, I don't 2575 01:56:05,680 --> 01:56:06,240 Speaker 6: think that's legit. 2576 01:56:06,400 --> 01:56:09,280 Speaker 3: If you're a donor for ole Miss and you are 2577 01:56:09,360 --> 01:56:12,360 Speaker 3: the ad for ole Miss, and we could reverse six 2578 01:56:12,520 --> 01:56:14,720 Speaker 3: years ago, however how long it's been, and they would 2579 01:56:14,760 --> 01:56:17,040 Speaker 3: tell you, hey, lank Iff and he's gonna go fifty 2580 01:56:17,080 --> 01:56:18,680 Speaker 3: five and nineteen for you. He's gonna have the most 2581 01:56:18,760 --> 01:56:21,800 Speaker 3: historic season in ole Miss history. But then he's gonna 2582 01:56:21,800 --> 01:56:23,520 Speaker 3: burn the shit out of you and he's gonna leave. 2583 01:56:24,120 --> 01:56:29,040 Speaker 3: Would the ad and those boosters would they sign up 2584 01:56:29,040 --> 01:56:29,200 Speaker 3: for that? 2585 01:56:29,440 --> 01:56:32,080 Speaker 6: I think if they knew this was how the program 2586 01:56:32,240 --> 01:56:35,040 Speaker 6: was going to be left, I think probably they would 2587 01:56:35,040 --> 01:56:35,760 Speaker 6: still go on the ride. 2588 01:56:35,840 --> 01:56:35,960 Speaker 1: Right. 2589 01:56:36,000 --> 01:56:38,200 Speaker 6: They've made a lot of money there. They have enhanced 2590 01:56:38,240 --> 01:56:39,320 Speaker 6: the image of ole Miss football. 2591 01:56:39,400 --> 01:56:41,240 Speaker 3: Yeah, well, you look at ole Miss, you don't look 2592 01:56:41,240 --> 01:56:43,360 Speaker 3: at him as like a stepping stone place anymore, even 2593 01:56:43,360 --> 01:56:45,040 Speaker 3: though lank Iven just showed them that they're the most 2594 01:56:45,080 --> 01:56:46,320 Speaker 3: stepping stone place of all time. 2595 01:56:46,480 --> 01:56:46,760 Speaker 6: Accord. 2596 01:56:46,880 --> 01:56:49,160 Speaker 3: But if you go back in time and you looked 2597 01:56:49,160 --> 01:56:50,680 Speaker 3: at every one of them and said, you're gonna have 2598 01:56:50,760 --> 01:56:52,560 Speaker 3: these next six years, this is how it's gonna go 2599 01:56:52,640 --> 01:56:54,720 Speaker 3: for you. You're gonna be in the playoff, You're gonna 2600 01:56:54,760 --> 01:56:57,040 Speaker 3: have the best season ever in ole Miss history. But 2601 01:56:57,200 --> 01:56:59,040 Speaker 3: after that, the head coach, right before the playoff, he's 2602 01:56:59,040 --> 01:57:01,640 Speaker 3: gonna fuck you guys. They'd probably all sit there first second, 2603 01:57:01,680 --> 01:57:03,400 Speaker 3: take a deep breath like you are right now, and 2604 01:57:03,520 --> 01:57:06,360 Speaker 3: go bring it. Yeah, you know what, We'll take it 2605 01:57:06,400 --> 01:57:09,600 Speaker 3: because where Ole miss was six years ago, it was 2606 01:57:09,600 --> 01:57:10,120 Speaker 3: a shit show. 2607 01:57:10,200 --> 01:57:10,360 Speaker 1: Yeah. 2608 01:57:10,520 --> 01:57:13,000 Speaker 3: It was in the conversations with the Kentucky's and the 2609 01:57:13,000 --> 01:57:16,320 Speaker 3: Mississippi states, in the Vanderbilts, like they're in that tier. 2610 01:57:16,920 --> 01:57:19,600 Speaker 3: And now you're in an upper tiered conference or a 2611 01:57:19,640 --> 01:57:23,280 Speaker 3: upper tier program. Yeah, so the yeah, any way you 2612 01:57:23,320 --> 01:57:24,680 Speaker 3: look at it, you kind of sit there and nod 2613 01:57:24,720 --> 01:57:26,080 Speaker 3: your head and go, yeah, I see that. Because when 2614 01:57:26,120 --> 01:57:28,000 Speaker 3: you're talking about being a player and I'm thinking about 2615 01:57:28,040 --> 01:57:30,680 Speaker 3: if I'm a senior and I've given my entire life 2616 01:57:30,760 --> 01:57:33,600 Speaker 3: to this program and that's how it's left me. He 2617 01:57:33,680 --> 01:57:36,080 Speaker 3: almost makes you want to cry because you're like, holy shit, 2618 01:57:36,080 --> 01:57:38,400 Speaker 3: because you imagine those seniors feel, and they're probably in 2619 01:57:38,400 --> 01:57:40,080 Speaker 3: the moment right now they're like, hey, fuck them, we 2620 01:57:40,200 --> 01:57:42,640 Speaker 3: don't need them. We'll go win this thing. They're gonna 2621 01:57:42,640 --> 01:57:45,320 Speaker 3: have the Cinderella story that everyone's looking for and the 2622 01:57:45,400 --> 01:57:48,160 Speaker 3: reality is probably not, so they're like kind of masking 2623 01:57:48,240 --> 01:57:50,560 Speaker 3: that pain only to get like six months from now 2624 01:57:50,600 --> 01:57:53,080 Speaker 3: to be like he really did just leave us in't me? 2625 01:57:53,280 --> 01:57:54,520 Speaker 3: After he told us all these things? 2626 01:57:54,760 --> 01:57:58,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, do you think he handled it well? I think 2627 01:57:59,560 --> 01:58:02,360 Speaker 1: because now to mention everything you didn't know even the 2628 01:58:02,840 --> 01:58:05,800 Speaker 1: documentary had this year, You're like that was making his 2629 01:58:05,960 --> 01:58:09,000 Speaker 1: image of being where your feet are, enjoying the moment. 2630 01:58:09,120 --> 01:58:14,280 Speaker 1: It's not about money where I need to be, you know, 2631 01:58:15,520 --> 01:58:17,600 Speaker 1: just rip it out and then you it's like, you know, 2632 01:58:17,640 --> 01:58:20,560 Speaker 1: I had conversations with God, my family and this is where, 2633 01:58:20,680 --> 01:58:22,840 Speaker 1: this is where because even Marty s and what is 2634 01:58:23,080 --> 01:58:24,800 Speaker 1: what is L s U offer that Old miss us 2635 01:58:25,360 --> 01:58:27,680 Speaker 1: He's just like, you know, I was praying on it 2636 01:58:27,720 --> 01:58:29,240 Speaker 1: and made a decision with my family. 2637 01:58:29,480 --> 01:58:32,400 Speaker 6: Maybe it'll work out. Maybe yeah, yeah. 2638 01:58:33,720 --> 01:58:38,240 Speaker 3: Right, yeah, I didn't know about the dog tweet. I 2639 01:58:38,320 --> 01:58:42,000 Speaker 3: didn't know about that. I think taking away like the 2640 01:58:42,080 --> 01:58:44,640 Speaker 3: trolling on Twitter, which it's hard to take that away, 2641 01:58:44,680 --> 01:58:47,240 Speaker 3: but just the position that Lane is put in. I 2642 01:58:47,320 --> 01:58:50,280 Speaker 3: can have empathy for the thought process of like, no 2643 01:58:50,440 --> 01:58:52,600 Speaker 3: way you handle this correctly because if you go, if 2644 01:58:52,600 --> 01:58:54,520 Speaker 3: you stay at Old Miss, you're here at Old Miss. 2645 01:58:54,880 --> 01:58:57,400 Speaker 3: But you just juggle along L. S U Auburn for 2646 01:58:57,760 --> 01:59:00,160 Speaker 3: a little bit in Florida up until last week, and 2647 01:59:00,280 --> 01:59:02,160 Speaker 3: now they're way behind the eight ball off who their 2648 01:59:02,240 --> 01:59:05,800 Speaker 3: coach is going to be, who are their recruiting class, transferportal, 2649 01:59:05,840 --> 01:59:08,680 Speaker 3: the whole thing. So you've kind of fucked three programs then. 2650 01:59:08,760 --> 01:59:11,480 Speaker 6: Okay, but let me hit you with this is John 2651 01:59:11,560 --> 01:59:15,080 Speaker 6: Somerral not the exact same situation. John Somerral head coach 2652 01:59:15,080 --> 01:59:17,720 Speaker 6: at Tulane. All year, They've been on a magical run 2653 01:59:17,800 --> 01:59:20,560 Speaker 6: this year. They are one went away from punching their 2654 01:59:20,600 --> 01:59:23,560 Speaker 6: ticket to the playoff. John Sumrral has been interviewed by 2655 01:59:24,280 --> 01:59:27,760 Speaker 6: several programs over the last month for their head coaching vacancy. 2656 01:59:28,120 --> 01:59:31,520 Speaker 6: John Somemrral just took the Florida job. John Sumral handled 2657 01:59:31,560 --> 01:59:34,360 Speaker 6: it professionally the entire way. He didn't talk about anything 2658 01:59:34,400 --> 01:59:36,840 Speaker 6: other than TWU lane football the entire way. He was 2659 01:59:36,920 --> 01:59:39,560 Speaker 6: communicative with his ad the entire way, which Lane was too, 2660 01:59:39,640 --> 01:59:42,200 Speaker 6: So I'm not knocking him for that. But John Sumral 2661 01:59:42,360 --> 01:59:46,000 Speaker 6: is in a conference championship this Saturday and is also 2662 01:59:46,120 --> 01:59:48,600 Speaker 6: being introduced as the Florida head coach today and no 2663 01:59:48,680 --> 01:59:51,400 Speaker 6: one's hating on John Sumral. So is it really just, oh, 2664 01:59:51,440 --> 01:59:53,880 Speaker 6: everyone hates Lane Kiffin because you know, he's the whale 2665 01:59:53,920 --> 01:59:56,600 Speaker 6: in the room to a certain extent. Yes, Lane's much 2666 01:59:56,640 --> 01:59:59,320 Speaker 6: bigger name than John Sumral, but it's also I think 2667 01:59:59,360 --> 02:00:01,800 Speaker 6: people have respect for the way John handled the process 2668 02:00:02,200 --> 02:00:04,320 Speaker 6: a whole lot more than the way Lane handled the process. 2669 02:00:04,480 --> 02:00:06,280 Speaker 6: And so like I got a bunch of LSU buddies, 2670 02:00:06,280 --> 02:00:08,680 Speaker 6: they're the same boy. It's really hypocritical. Everyone's hating on 2671 02:00:08,800 --> 02:00:11,680 Speaker 6: our guy. What about some Rall, what about some raw. 2672 02:00:11,720 --> 02:00:13,520 Speaker 6: I just think he handled the whole process a whole 2673 02:00:13,520 --> 02:00:14,040 Speaker 6: lot differently. 2674 02:00:14,360 --> 02:00:17,240 Speaker 3: I think so you you mentioned it not being the 2675 02:00:17,280 --> 02:00:19,360 Speaker 3: whale in the room. Some row is not the whaling room. 2676 02:00:19,440 --> 02:00:21,640 Speaker 3: Some Roll was a guy. If we don't get Lane, 2677 02:00:21,680 --> 02:00:23,840 Speaker 3: then we get Somemmer, all right, And so it's much 2678 02:00:23,880 --> 02:00:25,800 Speaker 3: easier for some Roll to sit in the position he is. 2679 02:00:26,240 --> 02:00:28,560 Speaker 3: And once again I'm not taking aside. I'm just arguing 2680 02:00:28,640 --> 02:00:30,640 Speaker 3: the point for some Roll to sit there and be like, 2681 02:00:30,680 --> 02:00:32,520 Speaker 3: I'm about Tulane, because at this point, all he is 2682 02:00:32,520 --> 02:00:35,040 Speaker 3: about Tulane, knowing people are kind of maybe calling him 2683 02:00:35,040 --> 02:00:37,920 Speaker 3: and being like, hey, if this doesn't happen, you're our guy. 2684 02:00:38,320 --> 02:00:40,200 Speaker 3: And if with that information, if you're Summer, all, like, 2685 02:00:40,280 --> 02:00:42,600 Speaker 3: there's no other information to kind of have other than but. 2686 02:00:42,680 --> 02:00:48,040 Speaker 6: He the Auburn job. What happened? What happened with dude Auburn? 2687 02:00:48,120 --> 02:00:49,560 Speaker 6: Let me tell you something that's a whole nother show. 2688 02:00:49,800 --> 02:00:54,600 Speaker 6: Auburn almost fantastically screwed themselves. Auburn had John Somemmrall done 2689 02:00:55,480 --> 02:00:58,920 Speaker 6: as late as last week. They had John Somer all done, 2690 02:00:58,960 --> 02:01:02,000 Speaker 6: and they messed around. I was so confident that Auburn 2691 02:01:02,080 --> 02:01:04,320 Speaker 6: had finally handed a coaching search the right way, and 2692 02:01:04,400 --> 02:01:06,320 Speaker 6: they had, and then they got to the finish line 2693 02:01:06,520 --> 02:01:08,840 Speaker 6: and they just tripped themselves up, you know, because they 2694 02:01:08,880 --> 02:01:10,960 Speaker 6: can't help it. And then John somewhere else says, no, 2695 02:01:11,760 --> 02:01:13,920 Speaker 6: you're not going to dictate terms to me about who's 2696 02:01:13,960 --> 02:01:15,720 Speaker 6: going to be on my staff and if they're going 2697 02:01:15,760 --> 02:01:17,280 Speaker 6: to be on my staff. I got to look him 2698 02:01:17,280 --> 02:01:18,760 Speaker 6: in the eye. I got to make sure they're right 2699 02:01:18,800 --> 02:01:20,920 Speaker 6: for me. So he said, peace, I'm out. And he 2700 02:01:21,000 --> 02:01:22,480 Speaker 6: could say that because he knew he was going to 2701 02:01:22,520 --> 02:01:24,680 Speaker 6: get the Florida job. But my point to you was, 2702 02:01:25,280 --> 02:01:27,520 Speaker 6: so Auburn pulled the nose up at the eleventh hour. 2703 02:01:27,560 --> 02:01:31,120 Speaker 6: They got Alex Goldish, He's good. They almost crashed entirely. 2704 02:01:31,200 --> 02:01:32,760 Speaker 6: We could do a whole show on that today. But 2705 02:01:32,920 --> 02:01:35,360 Speaker 6: with John, John did know he had head coaching jobs. 2706 02:01:35,520 --> 02:01:37,320 Speaker 6: He knew at the very least I'm going to Auburn 2707 02:01:37,480 --> 02:01:39,000 Speaker 6: and that's going to be a major head coaching job 2708 02:01:39,080 --> 02:01:42,800 Speaker 6: in the SEC. Florida is interested in me. He could 2709 02:01:42,800 --> 02:01:46,120 Speaker 6: have taken Arkansas in a heartbeat, could have taken Virginia Tech. Like, 2710 02:01:46,240 --> 02:01:48,240 Speaker 6: all those were on the table for him. He ends 2711 02:01:48,320 --> 02:01:50,960 Speaker 6: up at Florida because they don't get Lane. That's true. 2712 02:01:51,240 --> 02:01:53,520 Speaker 6: He would only have been on LSU's radar had they 2713 02:01:53,600 --> 02:01:55,840 Speaker 6: not gotten Lane. That's true. He also could have had 2714 02:01:55,880 --> 02:01:59,120 Speaker 6: the old Miss job. So he had several SEC irons 2715 02:01:59,160 --> 02:02:00,840 Speaker 6: in the fire, and he knew he was going to 2716 02:02:00,960 --> 02:02:04,760 Speaker 6: leave Tulane. But yet he handled the entire season. I 2717 02:02:04,840 --> 02:02:07,600 Speaker 6: think the only way you can given the circumstances. Yeah, 2718 02:02:07,640 --> 02:02:09,040 Speaker 6: I think people respect it a little bit more. 2719 02:02:09,080 --> 02:02:10,440 Speaker 3: No, I can get on board with that. 2720 02:02:10,720 --> 02:02:14,760 Speaker 1: Yeah. I empathize with Lane, not like he probably didn't 2721 02:02:14,840 --> 02:02:15,840 Speaker 1: know what he wanted to do. 2722 02:02:16,120 --> 02:02:17,080 Speaker 6: I agree with it this time. 2723 02:02:17,120 --> 02:02:19,040 Speaker 3: I'm not sure people have. People had no clue what 2724 02:02:19,080 --> 02:02:19,600 Speaker 3: he was going to do. 2725 02:02:20,040 --> 02:02:22,480 Speaker 1: Like I empathized with him having a hard decision and 2726 02:02:22,600 --> 02:02:24,720 Speaker 1: laying in bed and getting the heartstrings tugged on and 2727 02:02:24,760 --> 02:02:27,400 Speaker 1: everything else. I empathize with that because when the cheers stopped, 2728 02:02:27,400 --> 02:02:29,520 Speaker 1: the dust settles, it is only you. It's you and 2729 02:02:29,600 --> 02:02:32,560 Speaker 1: your family. You make whatever decision you think is best 2730 02:02:32,640 --> 02:02:35,080 Speaker 1: for you in this world. He thought it was at 2731 02:02:35,120 --> 02:02:37,240 Speaker 1: the end of the day, he took an old missjob. 2732 02:02:37,280 --> 02:02:39,880 Speaker 1: He took in his mind, a better opportunity, better backing, 2733 02:02:39,960 --> 02:02:43,560 Speaker 1: better structure. I look, he does his thing. I'm all 2734 02:02:43,640 --> 02:02:46,560 Speaker 1: for that, because again, it is only you in this 2735 02:02:46,640 --> 02:02:48,800 Speaker 1: world making your own decisions. So if that's what he's 2736 02:02:48,880 --> 02:02:52,000 Speaker 1: most happy with, dude, go do your thing. It's just 2737 02:02:52,120 --> 02:02:55,000 Speaker 1: all the semantics that came around because John Summerl, like 2738 02:02:55,160 --> 02:02:57,120 Speaker 1: you just don't feel the TV series that came with 2739 02:02:57,200 --> 02:02:59,840 Speaker 1: John Somerl throughout the entire process. Again, he is a 2740 02:03:00,080 --> 02:03:03,960 Speaker 1: lined with his ad probably I'm assuming with the team 2741 02:03:04,360 --> 02:03:06,680 Speaker 1: every step of the way. And when you are gonna 2742 02:03:06,680 --> 02:03:09,600 Speaker 1: make these hard decisions because you're in a tough spot 2743 02:03:09,680 --> 02:03:12,840 Speaker 1: because of this calendar, with the coaching, with the coaching cycle, 2744 02:03:13,360 --> 02:03:15,280 Speaker 1: when you're gonna make these hard decisions, that's going to 2745 02:03:16,280 --> 02:03:19,280 Speaker 1: inevitably hurt feelings no matter what you try and have 2746 02:03:19,400 --> 02:03:21,520 Speaker 1: his least amount of bloodshed as possible. And it felt 2747 02:03:21,520 --> 02:03:23,600 Speaker 1: like John Summrall did that and it felt like link Kiffin. 2748 02:03:23,760 --> 02:03:25,080 Speaker 1: It was just a bludgeting across the. 2749 02:03:25,080 --> 02:03:26,800 Speaker 3: Broad Yeah, yeah, yeah. He took the opportunity to pull 2750 02:03:26,800 --> 02:03:29,040 Speaker 3: the sword out. Yeah. You had the trauma from the 2751 02:03:29,120 --> 02:03:34,200 Speaker 3: last six years getting fired by Nick Saban and decided 2752 02:03:34,200 --> 02:03:35,240 Speaker 3: I'm gonna get mine right now. 2753 02:03:35,280 --> 02:03:37,080 Speaker 1: I'm the way out, right, and then trying to point 2754 02:03:37,120 --> 02:03:39,000 Speaker 1: the finger at the ad on the way out, saying 2755 02:03:39,040 --> 02:03:40,520 Speaker 1: he won't let me talk to the team, he won't 2756 02:03:40,560 --> 02:03:42,640 Speaker 1: let me coach. Think that I'm gonna get us to 2757 02:03:42,720 --> 02:03:45,040 Speaker 1: eleven and one. They'll kind of have no choice because 2758 02:03:45,040 --> 02:03:47,360 Speaker 1: I got It's like you got Sabin, you had Herbstreet, 2759 02:03:48,120 --> 02:03:50,120 Speaker 1: the national voices that were saying they should still let 2760 02:03:50,160 --> 02:03:51,920 Speaker 1: him coach, so then when he's on his way out 2761 02:03:51,960 --> 02:03:53,480 Speaker 1: he can do well. He didn't let me do it. 2762 02:03:53,520 --> 02:03:56,600 Speaker 1: It's like, Bro, there's no world, there's no world where 2763 02:03:56,600 --> 02:03:59,480 Speaker 1: that a d should let you coachy. The college will playoff, 2764 02:04:00,000 --> 02:04:01,920 Speaker 1: but they're inside that building. I don't care if it's 2765 02:04:01,960 --> 02:04:04,880 Speaker 1: Patty whatever. No, he's got to protect everything Ole miss 2766 02:04:05,040 --> 02:04:07,000 Speaker 1: And if you're leaving, Bro, you gotta go, gotta go, 2767 02:04:08,120 --> 02:04:10,400 Speaker 1: I tell you. Yeah. The Herbstreet saving stuff that was 2768 02:04:10,480 --> 02:04:12,520 Speaker 1: kind of blown up everywhere. They're always. 2769 02:04:14,040 --> 02:04:18,360 Speaker 3: They always they're working Sexton. Man, he is, He's the 2770 02:04:18,440 --> 02:04:20,760 Speaker 3: Ultiman winner and all of this, isn't he Yeah? Yeah, 2771 02:04:21,520 --> 02:04:23,680 Speaker 3: why why not stay at Ole? 2772 02:04:23,760 --> 02:04:23,960 Speaker 5: Miss? 2773 02:04:24,760 --> 02:04:26,640 Speaker 3: I'm sure at this point at all the boosters saying 2774 02:04:26,680 --> 02:04:28,000 Speaker 3: we'll give you all the money in the world. 2775 02:04:28,080 --> 02:04:30,600 Speaker 6: Yeah, money wasn't going to be the issue. One thing 2776 02:04:30,680 --> 02:04:33,400 Speaker 6: Lane was consistent about is money's not the issue for me. 2777 02:04:33,760 --> 02:04:35,480 Speaker 6: Like I talked to him several times throughout this, he 2778 02:04:35,520 --> 02:04:37,840 Speaker 6: always reiterated that he was dead serious about that. It's 2779 02:04:37,880 --> 02:04:40,040 Speaker 6: a big deal for Jimmy and CAA because not only 2780 02:04:40,080 --> 02:04:41,920 Speaker 6: I mean, look, there's a business side of this where 2781 02:04:42,120 --> 02:04:45,280 Speaker 6: when you're negotiating a deal, if you're Jimmy Sexton negotiating 2782 02:04:45,920 --> 02:04:47,920 Speaker 6: like a Keystone deal, which is going to impact the 2783 02:04:47,960 --> 02:04:50,640 Speaker 6: rest of the market, You've got like fifty other clients 2784 02:04:50,680 --> 02:04:52,200 Speaker 6: that are about to get a raised because of what 2785 02:04:52,280 --> 02:04:54,960 Speaker 6: you negotiate for Lane. So Lane couldn't have cared less 2786 02:04:55,040 --> 02:04:57,080 Speaker 6: about the money aspect of it. He's already made more 2787 02:04:57,120 --> 02:05:00,800 Speaker 6: than he'll spend in ten lifetimes. However, I think he 2788 02:05:01,440 --> 02:05:04,280 Speaker 6: desired to be desired for so long and he wasn't, 2789 02:05:04,760 --> 02:05:06,720 Speaker 6: and he sat at Ole Miss for a while. First off, 2790 02:05:06,760 --> 02:05:08,960 Speaker 6: he said it at Baman Fau, and finally he was 2791 02:05:09,000 --> 02:05:12,080 Speaker 6: desired enough to get the old Miss job. But remember, 2792 02:05:12,160 --> 02:05:14,280 Speaker 6: Lane's pretty old school in the way he looks at 2793 02:05:14,320 --> 02:05:16,240 Speaker 6: this stuff. So even if we're in the new age 2794 02:05:16,240 --> 02:05:18,480 Speaker 6: of college football, he still looks at the SEC the 2795 02:05:18,560 --> 02:05:20,960 Speaker 6: way an old school guy would look. And he's he's 2796 02:05:21,000 --> 02:05:23,160 Speaker 6: looking at the LSU job like Saban looked at it 2797 02:05:23,240 --> 02:05:27,080 Speaker 6: a generation to go. It's like everything's there. These are 2798 02:05:27,120 --> 02:05:29,920 Speaker 6: not his words, but I probably believe folks like him 2799 02:05:30,000 --> 02:05:34,520 Speaker 6: think I'm pretty responsible for the success that Ole Miss 2800 02:05:34,560 --> 02:05:37,240 Speaker 6: has just had, Like I am the reason this is 2801 02:05:37,280 --> 02:05:40,160 Speaker 6: happening again. Whether that's true or not, that's kind of 2802 02:05:40,320 --> 02:05:44,200 Speaker 6: the almost like the competitive narcissistic quality you have to 2803 02:05:44,280 --> 02:05:46,960 Speaker 6: have to yourself to think I'm the cause of this. 2804 02:05:47,280 --> 02:05:51,080 Speaker 6: You look at LSU and you think ed one one there, 2805 02:05:51,760 --> 02:05:54,760 Speaker 6: less one one there, Saban won one there. It almost 2806 02:05:54,800 --> 02:05:57,080 Speaker 6: seems like LSU's just built to win titles no matter 2807 02:05:57,120 --> 02:06:01,400 Speaker 6: who's there. I'll go there and enhance what's already just 2808 02:06:01,480 --> 02:06:05,120 Speaker 6: a rocket ship, and I won't have to do all 2809 02:06:05,160 --> 02:06:07,680 Speaker 6: that work. All I'll have to do is turn the 2810 02:06:07,760 --> 02:06:11,440 Speaker 6: spicket on and let the natural resources and the natural 2811 02:06:11,520 --> 02:06:14,760 Speaker 6: advantages flow and maybe I can win two or three 2812 02:06:14,920 --> 02:06:17,280 Speaker 6: at LSU. Whether that happens or not, I'm just telling 2813 02:06:17,320 --> 02:06:20,600 Speaker 6: you I think I pretty well articulated how someone like 2814 02:06:20,720 --> 02:06:23,320 Speaker 6: him feels about why he takes the LSU job. 2815 02:06:24,360 --> 02:06:24,560 Speaker 3: Yeah. 2816 02:06:26,160 --> 02:06:31,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, he gets focused on more great at I tell 2817 02:06:31,320 --> 02:06:34,840 Speaker 1: you what. Twitter was fun, though, buddy, we got one 2818 02:06:34,920 --> 02:06:37,920 Speaker 1: right here. This from John tweets Sports. I made a 2819 02:06:37,960 --> 02:06:40,760 Speaker 1: difficult decision to leave my wife, who's been very loyal 2820 02:06:40,800 --> 02:06:43,440 Speaker 1: to me for a woman she despises. I was hoping 2821 02:06:43,440 --> 02:06:45,240 Speaker 1: to keep living in our house through Christmas, and I 2822 02:06:45,360 --> 02:06:47,880 Speaker 1: think like nothing was wrong. My request was denied by 2823 02:06:47,920 --> 02:06:49,880 Speaker 1: my wife despite the kids wanting me to stay through 2824 02:06:49,920 --> 02:06:52,880 Speaker 1: Christmas breaking down. 2825 02:06:54,240 --> 02:06:54,800 Speaker 5: That's a shame. 2826 02:06:54,880 --> 02:06:56,800 Speaker 6: And Lane Kevin would look like, would look at that say, 2827 02:06:57,400 --> 02:06:58,280 Speaker 6: how dare that woman? 2828 02:06:58,600 --> 02:06:58,800 Speaker 2: Yeah? 2829 02:07:02,280 --> 02:07:05,240 Speaker 3: Holy shit, that is a John tweet sports. That's a 2830 02:07:05,320 --> 02:07:08,320 Speaker 3: fantastic it's a fantastic, great Job's what you want? 2831 02:07:08,800 --> 02:07:13,840 Speaker 1: So you said something with John Somemraw Auburn. Auburn was 2832 02:07:13,880 --> 02:07:16,280 Speaker 1: wanting to put people around the programer around on his 2833 02:07:16,400 --> 02:07:18,720 Speaker 1: staff that he wasn't necessarily in the same room with, 2834 02:07:18,840 --> 02:07:19,800 Speaker 1: to keep tabs on him. 2835 02:07:19,920 --> 02:07:22,640 Speaker 6: Well, no, it's even worse than that, and this is 2836 02:07:22,680 --> 02:07:23,440 Speaker 6: a kind of slid. 2837 02:07:24,680 --> 02:07:26,240 Speaker 1: I got to kind of know why they fumbled the 2838 02:07:26,280 --> 02:07:27,240 Speaker 1: bag with John Someral. 2839 02:07:27,360 --> 02:07:30,560 Speaker 6: They had John John wanted the Auburn job. I don't 2840 02:07:30,560 --> 02:07:33,160 Speaker 6: want to gloss over that. Like in coaching searches these days, 2841 02:07:33,520 --> 02:07:35,880 Speaker 6: sometimes it's just let's go get the guy we think 2842 02:07:35,960 --> 02:07:38,000 Speaker 6: is best for the job, and he's going to take 2843 02:07:38,040 --> 02:07:40,880 Speaker 6: our job because it's the next step. John Sumral wanted 2844 02:07:40,920 --> 02:07:42,720 Speaker 6: the Auburn job because he wanted to be the Auburn 2845 02:07:42,760 --> 02:07:45,280 Speaker 6: Tigers head coach, and he just happens to be a really, 2846 02:07:45,320 --> 02:07:48,760 Speaker 6: really great candidate, so they had him locked up. There 2847 02:07:48,880 --> 02:07:51,720 Speaker 6: was also the DJ Diurkinside, who was the interim head 2848 02:07:51,760 --> 02:07:55,680 Speaker 6: coach there, and I think John Cohen, the ad had 2849 02:07:55,760 --> 02:07:58,400 Speaker 6: really become attached to the idea of DJ. He's a 2850 02:07:58,440 --> 02:08:01,760 Speaker 6: phenomenal defensive mind. They wanted to keep him there. If 2851 02:08:01,760 --> 02:08:04,080 Speaker 6: they don't hire him as the permanent head coach, they 2852 02:08:04,120 --> 02:08:06,120 Speaker 6: want to keep him there as the defensive coordinator. So 2853 02:08:06,280 --> 02:08:09,640 Speaker 6: you know, you kind of you maybe gauge John Somerral 2854 02:08:10,040 --> 02:08:11,960 Speaker 6: during your negotiation and say what do you think about 2855 02:08:12,000 --> 02:08:14,720 Speaker 6: Durkin and maybe some Morell's receptive to it. Maybe he 2856 02:08:14,760 --> 02:08:17,360 Speaker 6: says I like DJ a lot. You know, maybe maybe 2857 02:08:17,440 --> 02:08:20,320 Speaker 6: I'll have a place for him on my staff. That's okay. 2858 02:08:20,680 --> 02:08:23,520 Speaker 6: What's not okay is then taking that at Auburn to mean, 2859 02:08:23,880 --> 02:08:26,400 Speaker 6: all right, let's go ahead and extend DJ, and let's 2860 02:08:26,480 --> 02:08:28,360 Speaker 6: sign him to a new deal, and let's coach called 2861 02:08:28,400 --> 02:08:30,280 Speaker 6: John Somerral up and say hey, all right, he's going 2862 02:08:30,320 --> 02:08:32,120 Speaker 6: to be on your staff. That can't happen. 2863 02:08:32,440 --> 02:08:33,280 Speaker 5: It can't happen for. 2864 02:08:33,360 --> 02:08:35,760 Speaker 6: Many reasons, but two of them I'll give you is 2865 02:08:36,640 --> 02:08:40,040 Speaker 6: that makes you the ad the guy that Durkin's answering to, 2866 02:08:40,520 --> 02:08:42,720 Speaker 6: not John sumrall, because John Sumral's not the one who 2867 02:08:42,800 --> 02:08:45,400 Speaker 6: hired him or paid him. And secondly, you haven't even 2868 02:08:45,480 --> 02:08:48,920 Speaker 6: vetted him yet. You, the future head coach of Auburn, 2869 02:08:49,120 --> 02:08:51,320 Speaker 6: have not even sat down with this guy or these 2870 02:08:51,400 --> 02:08:53,280 Speaker 6: guys because Durkin's not the only one they were trying 2871 02:08:53,320 --> 02:08:55,400 Speaker 6: to dictate with and look them in the eye and 2872 02:08:56,000 --> 02:08:58,720 Speaker 6: pitched your vision and seeing that they buy into it. 2873 02:08:59,120 --> 02:09:00,360 Speaker 1: You didn't even do it. Any of that. 2874 02:09:00,800 --> 02:09:02,960 Speaker 6: And so if anyone's going to put conditions on you, 2875 02:09:03,800 --> 02:09:05,680 Speaker 6: with how hard it already is to win, if you 2876 02:09:05,800 --> 02:09:09,200 Speaker 6: get your way on everything, you're not taking that job doubly, 2877 02:09:09,360 --> 02:09:12,360 Speaker 6: especially when you've got other programs that are bidding for 2878 02:09:12,440 --> 02:09:17,160 Speaker 6: your services. So Auburn screwed themselves fantastically early mid point 2879 02:09:17,200 --> 02:09:19,520 Speaker 6: of last week. We go into the Iron Bowl Saturday. 2880 02:09:19,520 --> 02:09:21,960 Speaker 6: I was down there and it was grim, and a 2881 02:09:22,000 --> 02:09:23,680 Speaker 6: lot of folks around there thought we're about to have 2882 02:09:23,760 --> 02:09:27,720 Speaker 6: to elevate Durkin, and I think John Cohen probably knew 2883 02:09:27,760 --> 02:09:32,040 Speaker 6: he had screwed that up. But then Alex Golish turns 2884 02:09:32,120 --> 02:09:36,480 Speaker 6: down Arkansas because Auburn is on the table, and I 2885 02:09:36,760 --> 02:09:40,320 Speaker 6: think that they were able to salvage a situation to 2886 02:09:40,440 --> 02:09:42,680 Speaker 6: the point where I could easily see us three years 2887 02:09:42,720 --> 02:09:45,880 Speaker 6: down the road saying Auburn fumbled their way backwards into 2888 02:09:45,920 --> 02:09:49,760 Speaker 6: a huge win here. I'm very, very irrationally excited about 2889 02:09:49,840 --> 02:09:53,240 Speaker 6: the prospects of Alex Golish at that place. Sometimes, you 2890 02:09:53,320 --> 02:09:55,000 Speaker 6: know how you just get a feel like some places 2891 02:09:55,000 --> 02:09:57,600 Speaker 6: are just like puzzle piece fits. I would have felt 2892 02:09:57,600 --> 02:09:59,800 Speaker 6: that about John there too. These were both really good candidates. 2893 02:10:00,120 --> 02:10:01,840 Speaker 6: The market's going to be way higher on John than 2894 02:10:01,840 --> 02:10:03,800 Speaker 6: they are on Alex Goldish. You probably know more about 2895 02:10:03,800 --> 02:10:06,120 Speaker 6: some Raw than Alex Golish. I'm way high on John 2896 02:10:06,160 --> 02:10:09,640 Speaker 6: Sumraw I'm way high on Alex's Goldish's potential at Auburn. 2897 02:10:10,400 --> 02:10:13,200 Speaker 6: Those people probably had to google his name yesterday, but 2898 02:10:13,360 --> 02:10:15,880 Speaker 6: in time, I think they'll really really love him down there. 2899 02:10:16,600 --> 02:10:18,640 Speaker 6: Quarterback play has been abysmal at Auburn for like the 2900 02:10:18,680 --> 02:10:21,680 Speaker 6: past fifteen years, aside from a couple of exceptions, and 2901 02:10:21,760 --> 02:10:23,480 Speaker 6: the one thing I can promise if nothing else is 2902 02:10:24,040 --> 02:10:26,160 Speaker 6: quarterback play won't be an issue at Auburn. Maybe there'll 2903 02:10:26,160 --> 02:10:29,040 Speaker 6: be other issues, maybe you can't stop molasses in December defensively, 2904 02:10:29,080 --> 02:10:31,120 Speaker 6: but quarterback play will be really good under him. 2905 02:10:31,680 --> 02:10:33,960 Speaker 3: What I know, we ate Greg obviously in a couple 2906 02:10:33,960 --> 02:10:35,480 Speaker 3: of minutes, so before we get you out of here. 2907 02:10:36,560 --> 02:10:38,560 Speaker 3: During your show last night, you're still singing the praises 2908 02:10:38,600 --> 02:10:42,800 Speaker 3: of Matt Campbell. Where is Penn State is still looking 2909 02:10:42,880 --> 02:10:45,760 Speaker 3: for a coach. I think it's insane that Matt Campbell's 2910 02:10:45,800 --> 02:10:46,160 Speaker 3: not the guy. 2911 02:10:46,320 --> 02:10:49,080 Speaker 6: I think it's insane Penn State's swinging on them. 2912 02:10:53,120 --> 02:10:56,320 Speaker 3: About Auburn fumbling. I'm obviously an outsider watching, but like 2913 02:10:56,720 --> 02:10:59,320 Speaker 3: to have your coach fired in mid October and still 2914 02:10:59,360 --> 02:11:00,800 Speaker 3: be in the same position you are, and now all 2915 02:11:00,880 --> 02:11:02,760 Speaker 3: the coaches that people are like, hey, you should get 2916 02:11:02,800 --> 02:11:03,480 Speaker 3: these guys. 2917 02:11:04,640 --> 02:11:05,480 Speaker 1: Twenty four hours. 2918 02:11:05,560 --> 02:11:08,240 Speaker 6: Dude, Golden Miss had won four hours yesterday. 2919 02:11:08,360 --> 02:11:11,160 Speaker 3: Yes, oh Miss lost their coach like you, and he's 2920 02:11:11,200 --> 02:11:13,800 Speaker 3: like me, yeah, okay, I'll do it. And Penn State 2921 02:11:13,880 --> 02:11:15,800 Speaker 3: is sitting there, they're smoking SIGs in the bark. They're 2922 02:11:15,800 --> 02:11:18,080 Speaker 3: a head coach who they fired already has a job, 2923 02:11:18,680 --> 02:11:20,000 Speaker 3: and you have no head coach. 2924 02:11:20,320 --> 02:11:23,680 Speaker 6: And yet Matt Campbell is responsible for like eight of 2925 02:11:23,920 --> 02:11:28,080 Speaker 6: the ten plus five hundred win seasons in conference playing Iowa. 2926 02:11:28,160 --> 02:11:30,440 Speaker 6: Iowa State has been over five hundred in conference play 2927 02:11:30,480 --> 02:11:32,800 Speaker 6: ten times in their history.

And it's very impressive. So that is 2995 02:14:23,400 --> 02:14:25,520 Speaker 3: that's all.

This is life, right, 3002 02:14:41,040 --> 02:14:42,920 Speaker 4: you know what I mean. And this is the world 3003 02:14:42,960 --> 02:14:45,160 Speaker 4: we live in. This is the stage that we play on. 3004 02:14:45,920 --> 02:14:48,800 Speaker 4: And you know, you know, you get what comes with 3005 02:14:49,360 --> 02:14:51,840 Speaker 4: you know, losing games, and the only way to get 3006 02:14:51,880 --> 02:14:54,880 Speaker 4: it right is to get it fixed. Yeah, and you 3007 02:14:54,960 --> 02:14:56,880 Speaker 4: know we certainly you know, haven't got it fixed the 3008 02:14:56,960 --> 02:14:58,880 Speaker 4: last twelve months. But like we got to move on 3009 02:14:59,000 --> 02:15:01,440 Speaker 4: because we've got Indiana this week, and certainly we've got 3010 02:15:01,480 --> 02:15:02,120 Speaker 4: a lot ahead of us. 3011 02:15:02,600 --> 02:15:05,080 Speaker 3: What is the well I want to get into recruiting, 3012 02:15:05,160 --> 02:15:07,480 Speaker 3: Patricia all that, but you brought up the Indiana game, 3013 02:15:08,040 --> 02:15:09,800 Speaker 3: and we had Josh Payton on the show earlier and 3014 02:15:09,840 --> 02:15:12,839 Speaker 3: we're talking about, like these conference games really are losing, 3015 02:15:13,080 --> 02:15:16,800 Speaker 3: they're losing kind of the we're not really playing for 3016 02:15:16,800 --> 02:15:19,080 Speaker 3: a Big Ten championship. We're playing for a national championship. 3017 02:15:19,080 --> 02:15:20,600 Speaker 3: And if you have the one seed in Ohio State 3018 02:15:20,640 --> 02:15:23,600 Speaker 3: in the two seed Indiana, what's stopping you guys from 3019 02:15:23,640 --> 02:15:27,240 Speaker 3: just saying, Hey, we're gonna sit our best receivers, We're 3020 02:15:27,240 --> 02:15:29,240 Speaker 3: gonna sit our quarterback, and just be like, hey, the 3021 02:15:29,400 --> 02:15:31,720 Speaker 3: commissions already said they don't really care about, you know, 3022 02:15:31,800 --> 02:15:32,920 Speaker 3: conference championship games. 3023 02:15:33,040 --> 02:15:35,000 Speaker 1: Right, we're both getting by week, Yeah, we're getting you Like, 3024 02:15:35,120 --> 02:15:36,600 Speaker 1: why not just move on? 3025 02:15:36,960 --> 02:15:38,880 Speaker 3: Yeah, and kind of wipe your hands with this thing. 3026 02:15:39,080 --> 02:15:40,960 Speaker 3: Obviously there's a level of competition and all that that 3027 02:15:41,080 --> 02:15:43,400 Speaker 3: you want, But if the if the big goal is 3028 02:15:43,440 --> 02:15:45,680 Speaker 3: the national championship, who cares about a Big Ten championship? 3029 02:15:46,040 --> 02:15:46,240 Speaker 1: Yeah? 3030 02:15:46,360 --> 02:15:47,760 Speaker 4: No, I hear what you're saying. I think they got 3031 02:15:47,840 --> 02:15:50,240 Speaker 4: to look at it for sure, but you know, we 3032 02:15:50,440 --> 02:15:52,640 Speaker 4: we're in it and we want to be the one seed. 3033 02:15:52,800 --> 02:15:55,320 Speaker 4: And I think everything matters when it comes down the stretch. 3034 02:15:55,720 --> 02:15:58,480 Speaker 4: And so you know, if you're just playing the numbers 3035 02:15:58,520 --> 02:16:00,800 Speaker 4: and you're playing you know, the trends, you know, you 3036 02:16:00,960 --> 02:16:02,800 Speaker 4: want to be in a situation where you're the one 3037 02:16:02,880 --> 02:16:06,800 Speaker 4: seed going into the playoffs. So so that's it. I 3038 02:16:06,840 --> 02:16:09,120 Speaker 4: also think there's a lot to momentum. You know. I 3039 02:16:09,160 --> 02:16:10,760 Speaker 4: feel like when you have momentum, you got to keep it. 3040 02:16:10,800 --> 02:16:12,120 Speaker 4: When you don't, you got to go get it. I 3041 02:16:12,160 --> 02:16:14,200 Speaker 4: feel like we have momentum. I want to keep momentum 3042 02:16:14,360 --> 02:16:16,760 Speaker 4: with the team and and these guys that did just 3043 02:16:16,840 --> 02:16:20,400 Speaker 4: competitive dudes that just love to win. And you know, 3044 02:16:20,480 --> 02:16:23,680 Speaker 4: winning a Big Ten championship does matter. It was one 3045 02:16:23,720 --> 02:16:25,440 Speaker 4: of the things that was on our list of goals. 3046 02:16:25,480 --> 02:16:28,880 Speaker 4: So it'll be a great environment, like it'll be you know, 3047 02:16:28,960 --> 02:16:31,000 Speaker 4: it's Indianapolis. Still have a great crowd. We'll have a 3048 02:16:31,040 --> 02:16:35,480 Speaker 4: great crowd. So you know, we want to win. You know, 3049 02:16:35,560 --> 02:16:37,200 Speaker 4: we want to be undefeated. We want to be the 3050 02:16:37,240 --> 02:16:40,440 Speaker 4: one seed. So that's that's that's what's motivating us. 3051 02:16:40,680 --> 02:16:42,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, and the way it stands right now, like we're 3052 02:16:42,959 --> 02:16:46,160 Speaker 1: seeing one v. Two, We're seeing a potential preview of 3053 02:16:46,200 --> 02:16:48,160 Speaker 1: what the national Championship is going to look like. So 3054 02:16:48,240 --> 02:16:50,080 Speaker 1: I'm sure there's there's going to be that level of 3055 02:16:50,160 --> 02:16:51,840 Speaker 1: juice to it. What do you see with this Indiana 3056 02:16:51,879 --> 02:16:54,520 Speaker 1: football team? Coach Kirkzinetti, he's done a hell of a 3057 02:16:54,680 --> 02:16:57,000 Speaker 1: job in his couple of years there. They're on a 3058 02:16:57,080 --> 02:16:59,760 Speaker 1: role for Nana Mendoza, He's a very good football player, 3059 02:17:00,040 --> 02:17:02,480 Speaker 1: another great quarterback as well. And Julian's saying, what do 3060 02:17:02,560 --> 02:17:04,200 Speaker 1: you see with this Indiana football team? 3061 02:17:04,680 --> 02:17:07,560 Speaker 4: Yeah, I think they they're well coached. I think they 3062 02:17:07,600 --> 02:17:12,040 Speaker 4: don't make mistakes. You know, in all three phases. They 3063 02:17:12,120 --> 02:17:15,600 Speaker 4: play hard, they have good fundamentals. Like I said, they 3064 02:17:15,640 --> 02:17:19,800 Speaker 4: don't beat themselves, and you know they have a plan 3065 02:17:19,879 --> 02:17:22,000 Speaker 4: on how they're going to attack. And they play fast. 3066 02:17:23,000 --> 02:17:24,880 Speaker 4: You know, like when you watch them on film, they 3067 02:17:25,040 --> 02:17:29,120 Speaker 4: are playing fast, they're playing downhill. You know, they're anticipating 3068 02:17:29,640 --> 02:17:34,279 Speaker 4: as opposed to reacting. And certainly, you know, having Mendoza 3069 02:17:34,360 --> 02:17:37,119 Speaker 4: there has has really just taken them to the next level. 3070 02:17:37,520 --> 02:17:38,800 Speaker 4: And so this is going to be a hell of 3071 02:17:38,879 --> 02:17:40,480 Speaker 4: a game and a really good opponent. 3072 02:17:40,600 --> 02:17:44,240 Speaker 1: Throughout the year. Ohio State's been categorized, you know, based 3073 02:17:44,280 --> 02:17:46,600 Speaker 1: on scheduling and everything else that can be boring, Like 3074 02:17:46,680 --> 02:17:50,680 Speaker 1: the offense isn't explosive until they have to be YadA, YadA, YadA. 3075 02:17:50,800 --> 02:17:53,800 Speaker 1: As a defensive guy myself, seeing what you guys have 3076 02:17:53,879 --> 02:17:56,959 Speaker 1: done defensively, which again that's it's hard to since since 3077 02:17:57,000 --> 02:17:59,640 Speaker 1: the defense they're not like you know, this attacking putting 3078 02:17:59,680 --> 02:18:02,240 Speaker 1: points on the board everywhere anything else. Somebody who appreciates 3079 02:18:02,280 --> 02:18:04,920 Speaker 1: defense losing coach knows to Penn State last year you 3080 02:18:05,000 --> 02:18:06,960 Speaker 1: had the number one defense in the country. To go 3081 02:18:07,040 --> 02:18:09,960 Speaker 1: out and get Coach Patricia. You've held every opponent to 3082 02:18:10,080 --> 02:18:12,680 Speaker 1: under seventeen points a season. Your first in points per 3083 02:18:12,800 --> 02:18:15,360 Speaker 1: game allowed was seven point eight yards allowed per game. 3084 02:18:15,879 --> 02:18:18,480 Speaker 1: What has it been like having coach Matt Patrician in 3085 02:18:18,480 --> 02:18:20,920 Speaker 1: the building. What has he done with this defense? And 3086 02:18:21,080 --> 02:18:24,400 Speaker 1: you got cats everywhere across the board? But speak about 3087 02:18:24,440 --> 02:18:27,119 Speaker 1: the defense a little bit because you guys, you guys 3088 02:18:27,280 --> 02:18:28,359 Speaker 1: crushed teams defensive. 3089 02:18:28,440 --> 02:18:30,440 Speaker 3: While you answer that question, I love to also hear 3090 02:18:30,440 --> 02:18:33,119 Speaker 3: about the process of getting Matt Patricia in your building 3091 02:18:33,160 --> 02:18:33,520 Speaker 3: as well. 3092 02:18:33,680 --> 02:18:37,880 Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah, So you know when everything went down 3093 02:18:37,920 --> 02:18:41,520 Speaker 4: after the season, it happened in a point where it 3094 02:18:41,600 --> 02:18:43,280 Speaker 4: was late in January, so a lot of the hiring 3095 02:18:43,360 --> 02:18:46,400 Speaker 4: cycle had already gone through, so you know, kind of 3096 02:18:46,440 --> 02:18:49,920 Speaker 4: caught all of us off guard. And so one of 3097 02:18:49,959 --> 02:18:52,600 Speaker 4: the things that you know, I've learned in this process 3098 02:18:52,760 --> 02:18:55,360 Speaker 4: is like, don't rush into a decision in terms of 3099 02:18:55,440 --> 02:18:58,000 Speaker 4: your hires man like you, you have to get this right. 3100 02:18:58,120 --> 02:19:00,880 Speaker 4: And even though there's recruiting involved and a lot of 3101 02:19:00,959 --> 02:19:04,160 Speaker 4: things that come into play, you know, you know, we 3102 02:19:04,240 --> 02:19:06,360 Speaker 4: try to take our time on this and be really 3103 02:19:06,440 --> 02:19:08,800 Speaker 4: thorough and and the thing that you know, I was 3104 02:19:09,000 --> 02:19:12,040 Speaker 4: really trying to look for was somebody that would come 3105 02:19:12,080 --> 02:19:14,080 Speaker 4: in and work with the staff that we already had 3106 02:19:14,600 --> 02:19:16,760 Speaker 4: and be willing to really buy into our culture and 3107 02:19:16,840 --> 02:19:18,879 Speaker 4: what we're doing, because you know, it wasn't like someone 3108 02:19:19,080 --> 02:19:20,400 Speaker 4: was going to come in and bring in their staff. 3109 02:19:20,480 --> 02:19:22,240 Speaker 4: And we just won a national championship. We have a 3110 02:19:22,280 --> 02:19:25,000 Speaker 4: great defensive staff, I think the best in the country. 3111 02:19:25,040 --> 02:19:27,400 Speaker 4: And so, you know, I talked to some different guys, 3112 02:19:27,480 --> 02:19:31,119 Speaker 4: but Matt really separated himself one because of his background 3113 02:19:31,160 --> 02:19:33,120 Speaker 4: of i mean, winning Super Bowls and what he did 3114 02:19:33,200 --> 02:19:35,840 Speaker 4: in the NFL, and he's he's a former head coach 3115 02:19:35,920 --> 02:19:39,000 Speaker 4: in the NFL, and he's brilliant in so many different areas. 3116 02:19:39,080 --> 02:19:41,640 Speaker 4: But you know, I knew Matt. You know, he's from 3117 02:19:41,680 --> 02:19:44,520 Speaker 4: the Northeast like me, and so you know, we had 3118 02:19:44,640 --> 02:19:47,480 Speaker 4: you know, we were acquaintances before and but the more 3119 02:19:47,520 --> 02:19:49,320 Speaker 4: time I spent with him, I just realized, like how 3120 02:19:49,400 --> 02:19:52,200 Speaker 4: personable he is, Like he's a family guy, and I 3121 02:19:52,280 --> 02:19:54,200 Speaker 4: felt like he would fit our team and our culture 3122 02:19:54,240 --> 02:19:58,400 Speaker 4: really really well. And it's amazing to me. Like even 3123 02:19:58,440 --> 02:20:00,040 Speaker 4: when all that was going on, like I got a 3124 02:20:00,080 --> 02:20:03,480 Speaker 4: lot of just push pushback, you know, publicly, and like 3125 02:20:03,800 --> 02:20:05,880 Speaker 4: I just think so many people are now realizing what 3126 02:20:05,959 --> 02:20:09,480 Speaker 4: a special person he is. And you know, he's done 3127 02:20:09,480 --> 02:20:10,920 Speaker 4: a great job for the minute he got here and 3128 02:20:10,959 --> 02:20:15,199 Speaker 4: building trust, building relationships. He had certain level of credibility 3129 02:20:15,400 --> 02:20:17,720 Speaker 4: with our guys. You know, he he looks at guys 3130 02:20:17,760 --> 02:20:22,280 Speaker 4: like rvel Rees, Caleb Downs, you know, Kayden Curry, and 3131 02:20:22,879 --> 02:20:25,320 Speaker 4: he says, you know, this guy reminds me of Jamie Collins. 3132 02:20:25,360 --> 02:20:27,440 Speaker 4: This guy's like Ninkovis, this guy's like so and so, 3133 02:20:28,040 --> 02:20:29,960 Speaker 4: and so he kind of plugs them in based on 3134 02:20:30,040 --> 02:20:31,480 Speaker 4: the guys he's had in the past when he was 3135 02:20:31,520 --> 02:20:34,600 Speaker 4: with New England, and our guys just love it. 3136 02:20:34,680 --> 02:20:34,800 Speaker 5: Man. 3137 02:20:34,840 --> 02:20:35,879 Speaker 1: They eat it up that these. 3138 02:20:35,720 --> 02:20:38,440 Speaker 4: Guys love football, they love to compete, and they've just 3139 02:20:38,480 --> 02:20:40,720 Speaker 4: been eating up the football and that's that's what Mattie 3140 02:20:40,800 --> 02:20:41,080 Speaker 4: is man. 3141 02:20:41,120 --> 02:20:41,960 Speaker 1: He loves ball. 3142 02:20:42,320 --> 02:20:44,160 Speaker 4: But he's done a great job building relationships. 3143 02:20:44,280 --> 02:20:46,119 Speaker 3: Yeah, he got a lot. There's a lot of criticism 3144 02:20:46,160 --> 02:20:47,840 Speaker 3: with matt Patricia and if it was going to work 3145 02:20:47,920 --> 02:20:49,959 Speaker 3: him going down to college, but on the offensive side 3146 02:20:49,959 --> 02:20:52,080 Speaker 3: of the ball as well, Chip Kelly he goes from 3147 02:20:52,200 --> 02:20:55,920 Speaker 3: college to the NFL. Obviously, both these both these coordinators 3148 02:20:55,959 --> 02:20:58,320 Speaker 3: have been made a big mistake leave Ohio State. Both 3149 02:20:58,360 --> 02:21:00,800 Speaker 3: of them are potentially out of job at this point. 3150 02:21:01,160 --> 02:21:04,200 Speaker 3: But you take Brian Hartline and he goes from the 3151 02:21:04,200 --> 02:21:06,960 Speaker 3: wide receiver coach to the OC. When we were in 3152 02:21:07,040 --> 02:21:10,360 Speaker 3: a hot in Columbus, we got to meet with Heartline. Energy, 3153 02:21:10,879 --> 02:21:13,720 Speaker 3: very infectious guy. I see him at the Texas Ohio 3154 02:21:13,800 --> 02:21:15,600 Speaker 3: State game. I go to give him a handshake. He 3155 02:21:15,720 --> 02:21:18,080 Speaker 3: looks like he looks daggers through my eyes, like you 3156 02:21:18,160 --> 02:21:20,600 Speaker 3: can go fuck yourself. And there's a lot of question marks, 3157 02:21:20,640 --> 02:21:23,040 Speaker 3: like is this guy gonna be able? He's obviously an 3158 02:21:23,120 --> 02:21:25,480 Speaker 3: incredible recruiter. The way you see the wide receiver room 3159 02:21:25,520 --> 02:21:27,480 Speaker 3: always line up like every great receiver in the NFL 3160 02:21:27,560 --> 02:21:30,119 Speaker 3: right now. Unfortunately went to Ohio State. But if from 3161 02:21:30,120 --> 02:21:32,879 Speaker 3: a play calling standpoint, what was that process like elevating 3162 02:21:32,920 --> 02:21:33,440 Speaker 3: him in house? 3163 02:21:34,040 --> 02:21:36,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, no, he as you as you can. 3164 02:21:36,600 --> 02:21:38,680 Speaker 4: You can tell. And you know, he's a competitive dude 3165 02:21:39,240 --> 02:21:42,840 Speaker 4: who really maximized every ounce of what he you know, 3166 02:21:42,920 --> 02:21:44,840 Speaker 4: God gave him as a player. You know, he had 3167 02:21:44,879 --> 02:21:47,040 Speaker 4: a great career here at Ohio State and then you know, 3168 02:21:47,080 --> 02:21:48,960 Speaker 4: played for a long time in the NFL. And the 3169 02:21:49,040 --> 02:21:50,880 Speaker 4: only way you do that is by you know, really 3170 02:21:51,000 --> 02:21:57,440 Speaker 4: understanding you know the game, you know how to find edges, 3171 02:21:57,959 --> 02:22:00,240 Speaker 4: and that's that's him. And so you know he done 3172 02:22:00,280 --> 02:22:02,320 Speaker 4: that with the wide receiver group and now, you know, 3173 02:22:02,600 --> 02:22:05,280 Speaker 4: the next progression for him was being a coordinator. And 3174 02:22:05,840 --> 02:22:07,400 Speaker 4: I think a lot of guys just think like being 3175 02:22:07,440 --> 02:22:10,360 Speaker 4: a coordinator is calling plays. That's a big part of it, 3176 02:22:10,800 --> 02:22:12,560 Speaker 4: but so much of it is just the organization of 3177 02:22:12,640 --> 02:22:17,840 Speaker 4: the staff, the motivation, the organization of practice, you know, 3178 02:22:17,959 --> 02:22:20,640 Speaker 4: the messaging, the focus, like everything that comes with that. 3179 02:22:21,520 --> 02:22:24,040 Speaker 4: And so it's been great to be around that and 3180 02:22:24,120 --> 02:22:27,280 Speaker 4: watch it with him. You know, he's got a great 3181 02:22:27,280 --> 02:22:30,400 Speaker 4: staff around him. Tyler Bowen does a tremendous job. Keenan Bailey, 3182 02:22:30,720 --> 02:22:34,840 Speaker 4: Billy Fessler, Carlos Lachlan and and and having Matt on 3183 02:22:34,840 --> 02:22:36,640 Speaker 4: the other side of the ball allows me the opportunity 3184 02:22:36,720 --> 02:22:38,920 Speaker 4: to be there too, and and to help along the way. 3185 02:22:39,080 --> 02:22:41,680 Speaker 4: So I think he's getting better and better at it 3186 02:22:41,720 --> 02:22:44,000 Speaker 4: every day, and you know, certainly we'll have to be 3187 02:22:44,000 --> 02:22:45,199 Speaker 4: at our best here down to stretch. 3188 02:22:45,879 --> 02:22:49,080 Speaker 1: You have a great quarterback in Julian saying, why do 3189 02:22:49,200 --> 02:22:51,760 Speaker 1: you feel like he should be at the Heisman at 3190 02:22:51,800 --> 02:22:54,160 Speaker 1: the Heisman ceremony later this month. 3191 02:22:56,040 --> 02:22:59,120 Speaker 4: Well, I think he has the highest completion percentage ever 3192 02:22:59,200 --> 02:23:01,000 Speaker 4: for a college football or something someone told me. 3193 02:23:01,080 --> 02:23:04,680 Speaker 1: I mean, his accuracy that pretty decent. 3194 02:23:05,440 --> 02:23:08,000 Speaker 3: But hey, there's an argument that he's just throwing routes 3195 02:23:08,000 --> 02:23:10,000 Speaker 3: on air because the receiver have so much damn separation. 3196 02:23:10,920 --> 02:23:13,200 Speaker 3: I mean, the hater and me, that's the hater in 3197 02:23:13,280 --> 02:23:14,720 Speaker 3: me coming out a little bit. He's a great he 3198 02:23:14,800 --> 02:23:16,320 Speaker 3: is obviously a very talented individual. 3199 02:23:16,800 --> 02:23:17,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, no, I get it. 3200 02:23:17,800 --> 02:23:20,400 Speaker 2: I mean, we have great receivers, but that's not his fault, 3201 02:23:20,520 --> 02:23:20,680 Speaker 2: you know. 3202 02:23:20,800 --> 02:23:23,680 Speaker 4: I mean, he's uh, he doesn't miss those throws by much, 3203 02:23:23,760 --> 02:23:27,160 Speaker 4: you know, and like you're you're right, like you know, Carnell, 3204 02:23:27,280 --> 02:23:29,120 Speaker 4: you know, did a great job on that route and 3205 02:23:30,080 --> 02:23:32,680 Speaker 4: the separation even you know Jeremiah's route you know in 3206 02:23:32,720 --> 02:23:34,080 Speaker 4: that game and that shot the other day. But those 3207 02:23:34,120 --> 02:23:36,200 Speaker 4: balls are like on the money, you know. I mean, 3208 02:23:36,240 --> 02:23:39,400 Speaker 4: he's just really really accurate. I think he's got a 3209 02:23:39,480 --> 02:23:43,040 Speaker 4: special gift in terms of his intelligence. You know, being 3210 02:23:43,080 --> 02:23:46,160 Speaker 4: around him every day, he's intelligent. He can he can 3211 02:23:46,200 --> 02:23:50,120 Speaker 4: handle high levels of information fast. And I thought, you know, 3212 02:23:50,200 --> 02:23:52,280 Speaker 4: in the game on the first interception, they did a 3213 02:23:52,320 --> 02:23:55,040 Speaker 4: great job with with with the guys there and and 3214 02:23:55,200 --> 02:23:56,600 Speaker 4: and they got him on that one, but like there 3215 02:23:56,680 --> 02:23:58,560 Speaker 4: was no panic because I know exactly what he saw 3216 02:23:59,400 --> 02:24:01,400 Speaker 4: and you know, he went right back at it. I mean, 3217 02:24:01,440 --> 02:24:05,720 Speaker 4: he's he's got composure and he has a toughness about him. 3218 02:24:06,120 --> 02:24:08,160 Speaker 6: And that was the I think he. 3219 02:24:08,240 --> 02:24:10,320 Speaker 4: Really had only played in the game that was like 3220 02:24:10,400 --> 02:24:12,720 Speaker 4: fifty degrees or colder, had never really played like any 3221 02:24:12,760 --> 02:24:15,280 Speaker 4: kind of elements. Now we've been practicing in it. But 3222 02:24:15,400 --> 02:24:17,640 Speaker 4: for him to handle that with the snow going sideways 3223 02:24:17,680 --> 02:24:20,560 Speaker 4: and just the way he played scrambled for a first 3224 02:24:20,640 --> 02:24:23,960 Speaker 4: down and handle it big third downs, I mean, he 3225 02:24:24,080 --> 02:24:27,320 Speaker 4: was he was excellent on third down. I just think 3226 02:24:27,360 --> 02:24:28,920 Speaker 4: that he's got some special gifts about him. 3227 02:24:29,400 --> 02:24:32,640 Speaker 3: Was there was there a piece of you when we 3228 02:24:32,800 --> 02:24:35,039 Speaker 3: went down and we drove the ball, we kicked three, 3229 02:24:35,600 --> 02:24:38,360 Speaker 3: and then the first throw we get an interception. Was 3230 02:24:38,400 --> 02:24:40,760 Speaker 3: there a piece of you had to be that was like, 3231 02:24:40,959 --> 02:24:46,199 Speaker 3: oh fuck, it's happening again. Of course there was, Yeah, dude, 3232 02:24:46,240 --> 02:24:46,840 Speaker 3: I was thinking this. 3233 02:24:47,000 --> 02:24:49,720 Speaker 1: I was like, oh my god, we're gonna do it again. 3234 02:24:50,160 --> 02:24:51,880 Speaker 3: And then once we kicked three, I was like, God, 3235 02:24:51,959 --> 02:24:54,279 Speaker 3: damn it, We're never going to score a touchdown this defense. 3236 02:24:54,840 --> 02:24:57,920 Speaker 3: But what was going through your head when that pig happened. 3237 02:24:58,840 --> 02:25:01,840 Speaker 4: Well, the thing that never happened though, is like I 3238 02:25:02,240 --> 02:25:05,160 Speaker 4: just never panicked, and neither did anybody on the on 3239 02:25:05,240 --> 02:25:07,640 Speaker 4: the sideline, because like, there's just a certain level of 3240 02:25:07,680 --> 02:25:11,040 Speaker 4: confidence we had going into this game, and it was like, 3241 02:25:11,400 --> 02:25:13,320 Speaker 4: I can't believe this is happening right now, and that's 3242 02:25:13,320 --> 02:25:14,680 Speaker 4: just all right. Because we wanted to have a fast 3243 02:25:14,680 --> 02:25:17,600 Speaker 4: start in the game, Yeah, that was kind of something 3244 02:25:17,680 --> 02:25:19,560 Speaker 4: that we talked about going in. We always want to 3245 02:25:19,600 --> 02:25:21,160 Speaker 4: do that. Obviously, everyone wants to have a fast start, 3246 02:25:21,200 --> 02:25:22,800 Speaker 4: but it was something that we felt like it was important. 3247 02:25:23,360 --> 02:25:25,600 Speaker 4: So when it didn't go that way, you know, it 3248 02:25:25,760 --> 02:25:28,400 Speaker 4: was like, what the hell's going on right now? But 3249 02:25:29,200 --> 02:25:31,040 Speaker 4: when you went over and you saw what happened on 3250 02:25:31,080 --> 02:25:33,879 Speaker 4: the first run and the defense settled down force three 3251 02:25:34,480 --> 02:25:35,840 Speaker 4: and then the defense to go out there and not 3252 02:25:35,920 --> 02:25:37,680 Speaker 4: panic got all. I mean, they sprinted on the field. 3253 02:25:38,080 --> 02:25:40,280 Speaker 4: They were like, let's go watch this, and they got 3254 02:25:40,320 --> 02:25:42,720 Speaker 4: they got to stop and it's six nothing and it's like, okay, 3255 02:25:42,720 --> 02:25:44,760 Speaker 4: we're all right, let's put a drive together, go right 3256 02:25:44,800 --> 02:25:47,160 Speaker 4: down and score. And at that point, I think just 3257 02:25:47,200 --> 02:25:49,640 Speaker 4: the composure of the team, you know, and it's just 3258 02:25:49,680 --> 02:25:52,280 Speaker 4: the way these guys are, they're way they're wired. Nothing, 3259 02:25:52,480 --> 02:25:57,080 Speaker 4: nothing gets them, you know, rattled and so but but 3260 02:25:57,280 --> 02:25:59,600 Speaker 4: I think, you know, that goes back to our training 3261 02:25:59,640 --> 02:26:02,320 Speaker 4: and confidence that we we had going into the game 3262 02:26:02,400 --> 02:26:04,920 Speaker 4: and what we play with.

You know what I mean, that's just 3302 02:27:43,360 --> 02:27:45,560 Speaker 4: because just the way that you know, we took the 3303 02:27:45,640 --> 02:27:48,400 Speaker 4: field and played in that game. You know, it's really 3304 02:27:48,440 --> 02:27:50,840 Speaker 4: how we've done it the last the last twelve months. 3305 02:27:50,959 --> 02:27:53,200 Speaker 4: But you know what, that's life, you know, and and 3306 02:27:54,480 --> 02:27:56,720 Speaker 4: you know, life comes at you sideways times, and it's 3307 02:27:56,720 --> 02:27:59,760 Speaker 4: it's all about how you respond.

And and so you know, I often, like 3312 02:28:13,400 --> 02:28:15,840 Speaker 4: I said in the press, Cofference, thought about how, you know, 3313 02:28:15,879 --> 02:28:17,560 Speaker 4: I wanted to respond after the game, but I just 3314 02:28:17,600 --> 02:28:19,160 Speaker 4: felt like it was the right thing to do is 3315 02:28:19,320 --> 02:28:23,000 Speaker 4: just handle it with humility and and celebrate, you know, 3316 02:28:23,040 --> 02:28:25,000 Speaker 4: with our team, with our team in the locker room, 3317 02:28:25,080 --> 02:28:27,120 Speaker 4: and man, it was it was a memorable day in 3318 02:28:27,240 --> 02:28:28,760 Speaker 4: that locker room with with that team. 3319 02:28:29,320 --> 02:28:30,240 Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, I mean it. 3320 02:28:30,240 --> 02:28:32,600 Speaker 3: Surely had to be.

There's usually hope and optimism that I 3600 02:40:53,720 --> 02:40:59,039 Speaker 1: have to latch onto, and there hasn't been any over 3601 02:40:59,080 --> 02:41:01,240 Speaker 1: the last couple of weeks. Like we got killed from 3602 02:41:01,320 --> 02:41:03,240 Speaker 1: Penn State. But if you come out you beat Iowa, 3603 02:41:03,840 --> 02:41:06,720 Speaker 1: don't matter, not that it doesn't matter, but you finish 3604 02:41:06,840 --> 02:41:09,120 Speaker 1: off eight and four, you have some again, some hope 3605 02:41:09,120 --> 02:41:11,400 Speaker 1: and optimism on this team turning it around.

Guys, Like, in no world 3704 02:45:29,520 --> 02:45:33,160 Speaker 1: would Nebraska have that article get out there, especially for 3705 02:45:33,240 --> 02:45:37,880 Speaker 1: it to be phrased and framed that Nebraska is bracing Like, basically, 3706 02:45:37,920 --> 02:45:41,240 Speaker 1: I'm hearing from sources that article had zero credibility and 3707 02:45:41,280 --> 02:45:44,480 Speaker 1: substance because there was no quotes from anybody on the inside. 3708 02:45:44,520 --> 02:45:46,760 Speaker 1: It was just pure speculation. Or I've talked to a 3709 02:45:46,800 --> 02:45:49,360 Speaker 1: couple guys like, No, who who have you talked to? 3710 02:45:49,879 --> 02:45:53,520 Speaker 1: And this is the same gentleman.

This it's the same gentleman that 3713 02:46:01,879 --> 02:46:07,200 Speaker 1: was on top of the It's the same gentleman that 3714 02:46:07,320 --> 02:46:10,880 Speaker 1: was on top of the leak of Raola potentially shopping 3715 02:46:10,959 --> 02:46:14,080 Speaker 1: in the portal last year being connected to the Miami Hurricanes. 3716 02:46:14,400 --> 02:46:16,800 Speaker 1: Chris Hummer at that story and that came out of 3717 02:46:16,879 --> 02:46:19,640 Speaker 1: left field that Dylan was shopping or that Dylan was 3718 02:46:19,720 --> 02:46:21,840 Speaker 1: kind of testing the portal a little bit, but Chris 3719 02:46:21,920 --> 02:46:23,600 Speaker 1: Hummer was on top of that one, and nobody else 3720 02:46:23,680 --> 02:46:27,520 Speaker 1: knew about that rumor other than Chris Hummer. And it's like, 3721 02:46:27,720 --> 02:46:30,760 Speaker 1: oh yeah, but they need to be focused on it. No, Bro, 3722 02:46:31,640 --> 02:46:34,680 Speaker 1: that leak got out last year because you're leveraging for 3723 02:46:34,800 --> 02:46:37,760 Speaker 1: more NIL money from Nebraska, which Dylan did get. And 3724 02:46:37,840 --> 02:46:41,040 Speaker 1: I'm all about the players getting paid. I'm all about 3725 02:46:41,080 --> 02:46:43,240 Speaker 1: these games. It's just don't make it seem like it's 3726 02:46:43,280 --> 02:46:46,440 Speaker 1: coming from inside Nebraska. But it's clearly not. Same guy 3727 02:46:46,560 --> 02:46:49,640 Speaker 1: was on the rumor last year with Raylan Miami and 3728 02:46:49,720 --> 02:46:53,400 Speaker 1: the portal that you know you're leveraging it up. Yeah, 3729 02:46:53,440 --> 02:46:55,400 Speaker 1: Adam Wells wrote Bleacher Report article. 3730 02:46:55,240 --> 02:46:57,800 Speaker 3: But he's Adam Wells, not a c to be seen. 3731 02:46:58,720 --> 02:47:01,039 Speaker 1: Yeah. But then also when this one come out, it's 3732 02:47:01,080 --> 02:47:04,240 Speaker 1: like this thing like this ain't coming from Nebraska football. 3733 02:47:04,320 --> 02:47:08,000 Speaker 1: I promise you that so, and I respect the games 3734 02:47:08,080 --> 02:47:09,920 Speaker 1: being played, but let's not act like, let's not all 3735 02:47:09,959 --> 02:47:11,520 Speaker 1: sit here and act like it's coming from inside the 3736 02:47:11,600 --> 02:47:15,160 Speaker 1: Nebraska building. It's not. Yeah, let's not make shit up 3737 02:47:15,440 --> 02:47:18,120 Speaker 1: and words and optics matter in that game, you know what. 3738 02:47:18,120 --> 02:47:19,840 Speaker 1: I'm sitting here like we've been in the league, we've 3739 02:47:19,879 --> 02:47:24,480 Speaker 1: been in, we've been in contract negotiations, framework reports coming 3740 02:47:24,560 --> 02:47:27,600 Speaker 1: out from certain guys, like all of that stuff matters. 3741 02:47:28,520 --> 02:47:31,000 Speaker 1: If it's coming out from Nebraska side, it's probably gonna 3742 02:47:31,000 --> 02:47:34,959 Speaker 1: come out from what Pete Nacos, I believe, or whenever 3743 02:47:35,040 --> 02:47:36,240 Speaker 1: he was on top of all the rules. 3744 02:47:36,280 --> 02:47:38,720 Speaker 3: So do you think this is Dylan doing this? Do 3745 02:47:38,760 --> 02:47:39,320 Speaker 3: you think it's somebody? 3746 02:47:39,400 --> 02:47:44,000 Speaker 1: Don't think I don't think it's Dylan doing this. Dylan's 3747 02:47:44,040 --> 02:47:47,200 Speaker 1: probably focused on getting healthy because he broke his leg, 3748 02:47:47,320 --> 02:47:49,320 Speaker 1: Like he's probably just he's probably doing his thing, trying 3749 02:47:49,360 --> 02:47:51,240 Speaker 1: to get his leg healthy. He's probably in a tough spot, 3750 02:47:51,280 --> 02:47:53,840 Speaker 1: like we've all had major surgeries, especially when our first 3751 02:47:53,879 --> 02:47:56,760 Speaker 1: one happens, Like there's some very lonely like I'm not 3752 02:47:56,959 --> 02:47:59,280 Speaker 1: this not at all coming from Dylan, but yeah, it's 3753 02:47:59,320 --> 02:48:03,360 Speaker 1: definitely coming, in my opinion, from Raila Camp Camp, the 3754 02:48:03,480 --> 02:48:06,039 Speaker 1: rail of Camp. Don't I don't know who, Like there's 3755 02:48:06,080 --> 02:48:10,160 Speaker 1: no names. I'm saying, Raila Camp. If you want if 3756 02:48:10,240 --> 02:48:13,440 Speaker 1: you are shopping, you are actively shopping, which I've heard 3757 02:48:13,920 --> 02:48:18,480 Speaker 1: is happening. If you're actively shopping, that doesn't come like 3758 02:48:18,560 --> 02:48:20,640 Speaker 1: all that and you want the college football world to 3759 02:48:20,760 --> 02:48:24,840 Speaker 1: know that Dylan is available, then you want an article 3760 02:48:24,920 --> 02:48:27,240 Speaker 1: out there like I'm saying if I was in this 3761 02:48:27,360 --> 02:48:29,560 Speaker 1: place and say it was it was my kid who 3762 02:48:29,640 --> 02:48:31,360 Speaker 1: was the quarterback, or if it was me and I 3763 02:48:31,480 --> 02:48:34,080 Speaker 1: had all this high level thinking about it all and 3764 02:48:34,240 --> 02:48:36,000 Speaker 1: the strategy of it all. If you wanted to get 3765 02:48:36,040 --> 02:48:38,760 Speaker 1: out there, you don't want to come from Hey, I 3766 02:48:38,879 --> 02:48:42,680 Speaker 1: am actively shopping while I'm still on Nebraska's football team. 3767 02:48:42,680 --> 02:48:44,600 Speaker 1: They're about to play the Iowah Hawk. Guys, my brother 3768 02:48:44,840 --> 02:48:48,320 Speaker 1: just decommitted last week. Like, I'm not wanting it to be. Hey, 3769 02:48:48,440 --> 02:48:50,720 Speaker 1: I'm doing all of this. You want to seem like 3770 02:48:50,800 --> 02:48:52,560 Speaker 1: come out a different way, and the way you want 3771 02:48:52,600 --> 02:48:54,000 Speaker 1: it to come out is the way it was written 3772 02:48:54,680 --> 02:48:57,680 Speaker 1: that Nebraska's bracing for Dylan to leave, like it's a 3773 02:48:57,800 --> 02:49:00,880 Speaker 1: Nebraska like a there's a Nebraska reaction from this. 3774 02:49:01,080 --> 02:49:03,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, because last year, I don't think I heard anything 3775 02:49:03,000 --> 02:49:05,680 Speaker 3: about Rayola shopping himself until after the fact. 3776 02:49:06,280 --> 02:49:09,720 Speaker 1: It's interesting, Yeah, like I had heard when that came 3777 02:49:09,800 --> 02:49:11,640 Speaker 1: out and when it was happening, But in my brain 3778 02:49:11,720 --> 02:49:15,000 Speaker 1: it's like like I again, I understand the game being 3779 02:49:15,080 --> 02:49:19,200 Speaker 1: played by players by the institution and contract, and hey, 3780 02:49:19,520 --> 02:49:22,120 Speaker 1: if we do have a really good quarterback. He could 3781 02:49:22,160 --> 02:49:24,040 Speaker 1: be looking at a lot of dollars out there, and 3782 02:49:24,160 --> 02:49:25,960 Speaker 1: we want to keep him. We need a pony up 3783 02:49:25,959 --> 02:49:28,160 Speaker 1: and pay for him so that way we can keep him. 3784 02:49:28,160 --> 02:49:30,920 Speaker 1: Because this is a kid like Dylan Raila makes Nebraska better. 3785 02:49:31,080 --> 02:49:33,840 Speaker 1: Dylan Railer makes Nebraska better football team. So yes, I 3786 02:49:33,959 --> 02:49:37,879 Speaker 1: want Dylan Raiola on the Nebraska Cornhuskers, big Dylan Raila fan. 3787 02:49:38,560 --> 02:49:40,879 Speaker 1: I'm more like just speaking on just the antics. I'm 3788 02:49:40,920 --> 02:49:43,800 Speaker 1: more in the lore of Nebraska football than probably a 3789 02:49:43,840 --> 02:49:46,680 Speaker 1: lot of people that are listening right now. But with 3790 02:49:46,800 --> 02:49:48,840 Speaker 1: the articles and everything else coming out and then fingers 3791 02:49:48,879 --> 02:49:51,440 Speaker 1: feeling like it's being pointed at Nebraska for having stuff out, 3792 02:49:51,440 --> 02:49:53,000 Speaker 1: this is where I got to just defend my squad. 3793 02:49:53,040 --> 02:49:54,240 Speaker 1: This is where I got to defend the turf a 3794 02:49:54,240 --> 02:49:57,640 Speaker 1: little bit because I want him. Yeah, because when Matt 3795 02:49:57,680 --> 02:50:00,760 Speaker 1: Rule was staying, what was happening right the boys are 3796 02:50:00,760 --> 02:50:03,320 Speaker 1: out there posting he ain't going nowhere, He's locked to stay. 3797 02:50:03,640 --> 02:50:06,000 Speaker 1: You want to shut this down, then you just public 3798 02:50:06,040 --> 02:50:08,040 Speaker 1: this end up. Hey, I'm not going anywhere. But that's 3799 02:50:08,120 --> 02:50:10,840 Speaker 1: not the reality that we're in right now, right which was. 3800 02:50:10,879 --> 02:50:13,880 Speaker 3: Just totally fair for Dylan and doing the situation My 3801 02:50:14,040 --> 02:50:15,880 Speaker 3: thought is is like, if you're in Nebraska, what do 3802 02:50:16,000 --> 02:50:18,560 Speaker 3: you do because you just signed rule to an extension. 3803 02:50:19,000 --> 02:50:21,680 Speaker 3: He got the funding and the backing that he means, 3804 02:50:21,760 --> 02:50:24,640 Speaker 3: go get get these players. Yeah, at what point do 3805 02:50:24,720 --> 02:50:27,240 Speaker 3: you pull a Tennessee and go, hey, we're not paying 3806 02:50:27,280 --> 02:50:30,160 Speaker 3: you anymore. Like you've got enough money. We're trying to 3807 02:50:30,160 --> 02:50:31,640 Speaker 3: win a championship. We need this money to go get 3808 02:50:31,640 --> 02:50:33,280 Speaker 3: other players as well to make you look better. 3809 02:50:33,480 --> 02:50:35,760 Speaker 1: Right, this is where that goes out of my depths. 3810 02:50:35,840 --> 02:50:37,600 Speaker 1: I don't know if he's wanting more money or if 3811 02:50:37,600 --> 02:50:40,200 Speaker 1: he's just wanting another place to look for me. I'll 3812 02:50:40,280 --> 02:50:44,120 Speaker 1: just be like, buddy, don't like this. Finish what we're 3813 02:50:44,160 --> 02:50:47,440 Speaker 1: building something. He's a pivotal part of it. Finish what 3814 02:50:47,560 --> 02:50:49,520 Speaker 1: you start. Don't run from the fight. Heel up, we 3815 02:50:49,720 --> 02:50:53,400 Speaker 1: need you recruit these guys, build this program. You're the guy. 3816 02:50:53,560 --> 02:50:55,080 Speaker 1: You're the kid that's gonna have a stats you. 3817 02:50:55,200 --> 02:50:57,800 Speaker 3: You're if you're a running back or receiver, a tight 3818 02:50:57,920 --> 02:50:59,200 Speaker 3: end somebody puts in the off side of the ball 3819 02:50:59,240 --> 02:51:00,840 Speaker 3: that gets the ball. You want to go to a 3820 02:51:00,920 --> 02:51:03,160 Speaker 3: place that you're going to be showcased. And if you 3821 02:51:03,200 --> 02:51:04,800 Speaker 3: don't have a quarterback or you don't know if the 3822 02:51:04,879 --> 02:51:06,879 Speaker 3: quarterback that you would be throwing to you would be there. 3823 02:51:07,160 --> 02:51:09,240 Speaker 3: It's very difficult to get these guys. Hey, we'll pay 3824 02:51:09,280 --> 02:51:11,199 Speaker 3: you two million dollars to come. It's like two million 3825 02:51:11,240 --> 02:51:12,560 Speaker 3: dollars is great, But I'm trying to make it to 3826 02:51:12,600 --> 02:51:15,039 Speaker 3: the league and I need somebody to facilitate me the football. 3827 02:51:15,760 --> 02:51:18,920 Speaker 3: And that's the issue that Nebraska's running into. I hate 3828 02:51:19,600 --> 02:51:23,840 Speaker 3: this feeling for Nebraska right now. I know and as 3829 02:51:23,879 --> 02:51:28,160 Speaker 3: a friend, as long as I've known you, it's never 3830 02:51:28,280 --> 02:51:32,760 Speaker 3: felt this dark. And I'm not I'm not saying that's 3831 02:51:32,959 --> 02:51:33,880 Speaker 3: I know you up. I'm not. 3832 02:51:33,959 --> 02:51:34,160 Speaker 1: I'm not. 3833 02:51:34,520 --> 02:51:38,800 Speaker 3: I'm just saying this is a very like uncomfortable feeling 3834 02:51:40,000 --> 02:51:44,360 Speaker 3: sitting here being like, isn't like is Nebraska getting better? 3835 02:51:44,920 --> 02:51:47,280 Speaker 3: Is there? I'm sure something's gonna happen in the offseason 3836 02:51:47,360 --> 02:51:49,959 Speaker 3: with transfer portal and recruiting class and all that. We'll 3837 02:51:49,959 --> 02:51:52,040 Speaker 3: be like, look at this, this is what we have 3838 02:51:52,080 --> 02:51:53,600 Speaker 3: to hang on hat out right now. It doesn't feel 3839 02:51:53,640 --> 02:51:57,000 Speaker 3: like there's something there to be like Nebraska the next 3840 02:51:57,040 --> 02:51:58,520 Speaker 3: step next year right as. 3841 02:51:58,440 --> 02:52:01,600 Speaker 1: Far as like progress seeing from where the bar is 3842 02:52:01,680 --> 02:52:05,320 Speaker 1: at right now, Like I one one believe Rule is 3843 02:52:05,360 --> 02:52:08,160 Speaker 1: the guy I just think we're going into an off 3844 02:52:08,200 --> 02:52:09,920 Speaker 1: season where there's a lot of games as game play 3845 02:52:10,040 --> 02:52:12,520 Speaker 1: versus finding these ways to push the boat forward. It 3846 02:52:12,560 --> 02:52:14,640 Speaker 1: feels there's gonna be a lot of recruiting that has 3847 02:52:14,720 --> 02:52:17,800 Speaker 1: to happen, potentially in house. I have no clue, but 3848 02:52:17,879 --> 02:52:20,840 Speaker 1: you're right and to the point, because again, when we 3849 02:52:20,920 --> 02:52:23,280 Speaker 1: were talking before the year or before the year started, 3850 02:52:23,280 --> 02:52:24,840 Speaker 1: and you said seven and five, and I'm like, seven 3851 02:52:24,879 --> 02:52:26,840 Speaker 1: and five would feel like a failure of a season. 3852 02:52:26,920 --> 02:52:28,880 Speaker 3: I'm sick to my stomach that we're sitting here in 3853 02:52:28,959 --> 02:52:30,200 Speaker 3: the answer of seven and five. 3854 02:52:30,360 --> 02:52:32,040 Speaker 1: But you were saying, this is like, hey, just one 3855 02:52:32,080 --> 02:52:33,720 Speaker 1: step at it. You know, it's one game at a time, 3856 02:52:33,720 --> 02:52:34,360 Speaker 1: one step at the time. 3857 02:52:34,400 --> 02:52:36,879 Speaker 3: I've already said that, I've already shook her hands said 3858 02:52:36,879 --> 02:52:38,760 Speaker 3: that's not good enough. Ye Like, I think I wish 3859 02:52:38,800 --> 02:52:40,080 Speaker 3: you never made me to shoot my hand because I'd 3860 02:52:40,080 --> 02:52:41,680 Speaker 3: be able to sit there and be like, hey, you're 3861 02:52:41,760 --> 02:52:44,400 Speaker 3: technically a game better like in four next year, nine 3862 02:52:44,440 --> 02:52:45,480 Speaker 3: to three, right, two. 3863 02:52:45,560 --> 02:52:47,560 Speaker 1: But I think you're in enough to where you can 3864 02:52:47,800 --> 02:52:50,959 Speaker 1: stand on the record. But my reaction to you having 3865 02:52:51,000 --> 02:52:53,519 Speaker 1: that record is like, no, bro, it won't be optimismly, 3866 02:52:53,920 --> 02:52:57,200 Speaker 1: it's going to feel like we're failing. And so that's 3867 02:52:57,240 --> 02:52:59,600 Speaker 1: where end the year seven and five. You end off 3868 02:52:59,640 --> 02:53:01,880 Speaker 1: these two asshole but we took from Penn State and 3869 02:53:01,920 --> 02:53:06,039 Speaker 1: Iowan and it's like, God, you. 3870 02:53:06,080 --> 02:53:09,080 Speaker 3: Know, I'm with you because you're You're right, like seven 3871 02:53:09,160 --> 02:53:12,920 Speaker 3: and five is not okay, Like you guys have gotten 3872 02:53:13,000 --> 02:53:14,960 Speaker 3: the monkey off your bag. From a bowl game standpoint, 3873 02:53:15,040 --> 02:53:16,520 Speaker 3: that was fun. We had a good time with that. 3874 02:53:16,640 --> 02:53:21,119 Speaker 3: Like bowl games don't matter. They don't. Some players sit out, 3875 02:53:21,240 --> 02:53:24,279 Speaker 3: they they go to the NFL, they they start to transfer. 3876 02:53:24,560 --> 02:53:27,720 Speaker 3: Like bowl games do not matter. And I said that 3877 02:53:27,800 --> 02:53:31,520 Speaker 3: before Michigan beat Alabama last year because bowl games don't 3878 02:53:31,560 --> 02:53:33,959 Speaker 3: fucking matter. So are your record seven and five? 3879 02:53:34,120 --> 02:53:35,520 Speaker 1: Well, if we win a bowl game, we will be 3880 02:53:35,600 --> 02:53:37,840 Speaker 1: eight and five, you know what I'm saying. 3881 02:53:37,959 --> 02:53:39,680 Speaker 3: That's why I disagree with you, and I understand why 3882 02:53:39,760 --> 02:53:40,280 Speaker 3: you would do that. 3883 02:53:40,400 --> 02:53:42,600 Speaker 1: For the mental aspect, well, there's teams like you're gonna 3884 02:53:42,600 --> 02:53:45,240 Speaker 1: play a team to where yeah, it's not like Michigan 3885 02:53:45,360 --> 02:53:48,199 Speaker 1: was seven and five last year and then they played 3886 02:53:48,200 --> 02:53:49,039 Speaker 1: a bowl game that they won. 3887 02:53:49,120 --> 02:53:53,560 Speaker 3: They were seven and five. Yeah, still they beat Alabama. 3888 02:53:53,560 --> 02:53:55,600 Speaker 3: I'm like, oh shit, this is awesome. But the reality 3889 02:53:55,800 --> 02:53:58,760 Speaker 3: is is half their team sat out, and a lot 3890 02:53:58,840 --> 02:54:01,160 Speaker 3: of our guys sat out too, And it's like, all right, 3891 02:54:01,800 --> 02:54:04,560 Speaker 3: Like that's if it happened in the regular season, I'm 3892 02:54:04,600 --> 02:54:06,760 Speaker 3: way more fired up than if it happened at a 3893 02:54:06,840 --> 02:54:10,720 Speaker 3: bowl game, Like the Citrus Bowl isn't fucking getting me 3894 02:54:10,760 --> 02:54:11,560 Speaker 3: from six to midnight. 3895 02:54:12,280 --> 02:54:15,560 Speaker 1: I feel what you're saying, because say, uh, Emmett is 3896 02:54:15,720 --> 02:54:18,840 Speaker 1: going to the NFL, right, and he sits out of 3897 02:54:18,920 --> 02:54:21,560 Speaker 1: the bowl game, then yeah, it's I'm thinking to myself, 3898 02:54:21,560 --> 02:54:23,360 Speaker 1: all right, we lose this game, like we didn't have 3899 02:54:23,440 --> 02:54:24,040 Speaker 1: Emmitt Johnson. 3900 02:54:24,040 --> 02:54:26,040 Speaker 3: It's an insurance policy, just like Alabama had an insurance 3901 02:54:26,040 --> 02:54:28,400 Speaker 3: policy last year. Like, yeah, a lot of their players 3902 02:54:28,440 --> 02:54:30,360 Speaker 3: didn't play, a lot of our players didn't play. But 3903 02:54:30,400 --> 02:54:32,680 Speaker 3: at the same time, it's like you're just having two 3904 02:54:32,800 --> 02:54:36,000 Speaker 3: cool logos play each other, Alabama and Mission. Oh this 3905 02:54:36,120 --> 02:54:38,200 Speaker 3: is dope. You barely ever get to see this. Ain't 3906 02:54:38,200 --> 02:54:41,240 Speaker 3: nobody gives a fuck really about that? No one, No 3907 02:54:41,320 --> 02:54:42,080 Speaker 3: one actually cares. 3908 02:54:42,160 --> 02:54:44,120 Speaker 1: You could if everybody in the locker room does, no 3909 02:54:44,240 --> 02:54:47,840 Speaker 1: if everybody played, Like again, if we need everybody for 3910 02:54:47,920 --> 02:54:51,480 Speaker 1: the bowl game and everybody has that outlook in the 3911 02:54:51,640 --> 02:54:55,119 Speaker 1: rally for the bowl game, absolutely to me, my brain film. 3912 02:54:55,280 --> 02:54:57,240 Speaker 3: My brain's on. Well, look what just happened to Michigan 3913 02:54:57,360 --> 02:55:00,800 Speaker 3: versus a hot state. How do we beat that? How 3914 02:55:00,879 --> 02:55:02,959 Speaker 3: do we bet when they already have a top three 3915 02:55:03,040 --> 02:55:06,360 Speaker 3: recruiting class coming in? We need to go fuck a 3916 02:55:06,400 --> 02:55:06,800 Speaker 3: bowl game. 3917 02:55:07,040 --> 02:55:10,320 Speaker 1: But you know, the bowl game, that's a disservice to 3918 02:55:10,400 --> 02:55:12,360 Speaker 1: the senior the guys who are still trying to play 3919 02:55:12,400 --> 02:55:12,760 Speaker 1: some ball. 3920 02:55:12,920 --> 02:55:16,360 Speaker 3: The bowl game is important for the fifteen practices. That's 3921 02:55:16,440 --> 02:55:19,320 Speaker 3: the most important part of the bowl game. That's the 3922 02:55:19,360 --> 02:55:21,959 Speaker 3: most important part of the bowl game is that fifteen practices. 3923 02:55:22,280 --> 02:55:24,560 Speaker 3: She has excel work. I'm gonna I'm gonna watch whatever 3924 02:55:24,600 --> 02:55:26,520 Speaker 3: game Michigan's in, and I'm gonna be rooting for him. 3925 02:55:26,520 --> 02:55:27,360 Speaker 3: I'm gonna be hoping they win. 3926 02:55:27,600 --> 02:55:29,360 Speaker 1: I don't know if you are, man no, But at the. 3927 02:55:29,400 --> 02:55:31,840 Speaker 3: End of the day, like whether they win or lose, 3928 02:55:32,000 --> 02:55:35,200 Speaker 3: I want to see progress. So Bryce plays in the game, 3929 02:55:35,480 --> 02:55:39,480 Speaker 3: or Jordan Marshall plays, or you know these receivers. I 3930 02:55:39,600 --> 02:55:42,119 Speaker 3: want to see Andrew marsh take a step. I want 3931 02:55:42,160 --> 02:55:44,480 Speaker 3: to see mcculey take a step, even though he's a senior, Like, 3932 02:55:44,520 --> 02:55:46,640 Speaker 3: I want to see these things happen. So I go. 3933 02:55:47,280 --> 02:55:50,320 Speaker 3: I'm really excited for next year because the bowl game 3934 02:55:50,360 --> 02:55:53,120 Speaker 3: doesn't matter record wise, it doesn't do anything for you. 3935 02:55:53,760 --> 02:55:57,600 Speaker 3: The transfer portal, the recruiting class, the development of players, 3936 02:55:58,200 --> 02:56:03,360 Speaker 3: the spring practice, that camp this season, that's what matters, truly, 3937 02:56:03,760 --> 02:56:07,000 Speaker 3: because no one's gonna look at the big bad morble. 3938 02:56:07,640 --> 02:56:09,120 Speaker 3: No one's gonna be like, yeah, but we got that, 3939 02:56:09,280 --> 02:56:12,400 Speaker 3: didn't we boys?
