John Middlecalf three and out podcasts? 27 00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:44,679 Speaker 1: How are we doing it? Here's the deal. We've been 28 00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:46,440 Speaker 1: doing these early in the season. I just went on 29 00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:49,840 Speaker 1: with Colin and then we started the YouTube page, and 30 00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:52,240 Speaker 1: I'm like, you know what, why don't we just throw 31 00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:54,640 Speaker 1: up a video after the Sunday night game? And I went, 32 00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:56,400 Speaker 1: you know what, why don't I just make it like 33 00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:59,360 Speaker 1: a thirty minute podcast. So it's more of these. Last 34 00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:02,600 Speaker 1: couple of weeks, I going with Colin after the afternoon games. 35 00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:04,760 Speaker 1: So after the Buffalo beat Kansas City, we jumped on 36 00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:06,880 Speaker 1: there for about forty five minutes. That's on his podcast feed. 37 00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:10,520 Speaker 1: Then I watched the Cowboys Eagles game. I was like, 38 00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:12,640 Speaker 1: just fired up a podcast. A couple other takes. Some 39 00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:17,079 Speaker 1: things that have happened since Zach Wilson brock Perdy. Obviously, 40 00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:20,480 Speaker 1: Dak Prescott's gonna win the MVP. Something I saw today 41 00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:23,880 Speaker 1: in the Raider game which was pretty eye opening. And yeah, 42 00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:25,800 Speaker 1: and then we'll be back again. I guess Monday night's 43 00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:28,919 Speaker 1: got a double header. I don't know whose idea is that. 44 00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:31,480 Speaker 1: I'm not trying to be Debbie down. It's been a 45 00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:33,680 Speaker 1: long day now. Granted I've just watched football and DoD 46 00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:37,040 Speaker 1: podcasts all day. But what we don't need to football 47 00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:39,920 Speaker 1: games on Monday night, especially if they include the Giants 48 00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:43,680 Speaker 1: and the Titans. Can't. We just wish we could take 49 00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:47,200 Speaker 1: the four teams and just have the Dolphins play the Packers. 50 00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:50,520 Speaker 1: Just have that a game and the other two games 51 00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:53,120 Speaker 1: like not even televised, make them play. But that is 52 00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:55,160 Speaker 1: not what's going on. So we have a podcast after 53 00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:57,440 Speaker 1: the Monday night game for sure, And like I said, 54 00:02:57,480 --> 00:02:59,239 Speaker 1: subscribe to the YouTube page.

Okay. 72 00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:53,400 Speaker 1: I picked the Cowboys at the beginning of the season 73 00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:58,760 Speaker 1: to win the division, and obviously, at points in time 74 00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:01,640 Speaker 1: during this season it did not feel good. And honestly, 75 00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:04,600 Speaker 1: if you look at the schedule, I don't even feel 76 00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:07,400 Speaker 1: that good about them winning the division. But I think 77 00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:10,880 Speaker 1: it's pretty clear if you watch them play the Eagles twice, 78 00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:15,280 Speaker 1: they are better than the Philadelphi Eagles. If they played again, 79 00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:19,040 Speaker 1: I would pick the Dallas Cowboys in the game. I 80 00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:22,920 Speaker 1: don't even think it's that arguable. I mean seriously, and 81 00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:26,400 Speaker 1: I think we could start with the Philadelphi Eagles. They 82 00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:29,520 Speaker 1: have a major problem. It's why the forty nine Ers 83 00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:33,040 Speaker 1: kick their ass, and it's why the Dallas Cowboys kick 84 00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:35,160 Speaker 1: their ass. And it's why if the Chiefs had a 85 00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:38,800 Speaker 1: better offense, they would have won that game. Their defense, 86 00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:41,640 Speaker 1: and mainly their back seven. I like a lot of 87 00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:46,680 Speaker 1: their defensive linemen is awful. They can't cover anybody. They 88 00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:50,840 Speaker 1: don't have team speed in the back end. Their linebackers 89 00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:54,279 Speaker 1: are not good. Well, here's the thing. When you play 90 00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:56,719 Speaker 1: the forty nine Ers and you play the Dallas Cowboys, 91 00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:59,160 Speaker 1: what do you have to deal with? A ton of 92 00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:04,240 Speaker 1: speed at wide receiver as well as physicality, a really 93 00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:07,559 Speaker 1: good tight end and a running back who can play 94 00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:12,640 Speaker 1: in space. Fletcher Cox, Brandon Graham, and Jalen Carter don't 95 00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:16,240 Speaker 1: cover those guys. So you have to have dbs and 96 00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:20,520 Speaker 1: linebackers who can play in space and tackle. And right now, 97 00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:22,760 Speaker 1: when you watch the Philadelphia Eagles, and I was really 98 00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:25,960 Speaker 1: kind of crystallized toward the end of the game because 99 00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:29,479 Speaker 1: they had the clip of Dan Quinn in the coach's 100 00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:32,200 Speaker 1: box and Chris maybe it was Tarico. It might have been. 101 00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:35,080 Speaker 1: Collinsworth was just like, how is this guy not going 102 00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:36,960 Speaker 1: to be a head coach next year in the NFL? 103 00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:39,560 Speaker 1: And it's really kind of sunk in, Like, think, how 104 00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:44,480 Speaker 1: much better dan Quinn is as a defensive coordinator than 105 00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:47,159 Speaker 1: the dude the Eagles are rolling out right now. I mean, 106 00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:51,200 Speaker 1: let's face it, and the advantage honestly at both coordinator spots. 107 00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:55,360 Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy is a better offensive play caller and really 108 00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:59,000 Speaker 1: just a better coach than the Sirianni Brian Johnson combination. 109 00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:02,440 Speaker 1: And obviously dan Quinn is better. So when you see 110 00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:05,480 Speaker 1: that matchup, and now we've seen it twice whatever over 111 00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:07,840 Speaker 1: the last I don't know how many days thirty forty 112 00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:12,560 Speaker 1: days advantage Cowboys right now. Maybe if Philadelphia Eagles had 113 00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:14,720 Speaker 1: all their players and the defense, you know, they weren't 114 00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:17,839 Speaker 1: missing multiple Nichols who aren't coming back, and Sleigh and 115 00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:19,840 Speaker 1: Brad Barry could be a little younger. Yeah, maybe it'd 116 00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:22,440 Speaker 1: be a better game. But when I watch the Eagles, 117 00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:25,080 Speaker 1: they are so dependent on AJ Brown and DeVante Smith 118 00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:28,880 Speaker 1: dominating the game the moment those guys are a little off, 119 00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:31,440 Speaker 1: maybe they drop the ball. Obviously, DeVante had the fumble 120 00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:34,480 Speaker 1: they got no shot, that they got no shot. And 121 00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:38,760 Speaker 1: while David Carr's comments were moronic because I don't give 122 00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:42,560 Speaker 1: a shit If Jalen Hurts has one leg and one arm, 123 00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:46,120 Speaker 1: I'm putting m at quarterback over Marcus Mariota on his 124 00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:51,279 Speaker 1: worst day. He's better than Mariota currently. But like and 125 00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:53,960 Speaker 1: I'm a huge fan, I'm someone who roots for this 126 00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:56,240 Speaker 1: guy because he's everything I would want in a play. 127 00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:58,720 Speaker 1: He just looks a little off. He's definitely not as 128 00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:00,640 Speaker 1: good as last year. So if you get a guy 129 00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:03,040 Speaker 1: that's not as good as last year, your coaching staff 130 00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:06,320 Speaker 1: is clearly worse because you lost both coordinators. Your defensive 131 00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:09,679 Speaker 1: back seven is just not good. You're gonna have issues 132 00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:13,520 Speaker 1: in a conference that has the Dallas Cowboys that have 133 00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:16,480 Speaker 1: Dak Prescott playing the best football of his life. Ferguson 134 00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:19,920 Speaker 1: who looks like a fucking star, Ceedee Lamb Baller, Paul 135 00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:23,160 Speaker 1: ar Baller, Cooks and Gallup can make plays, and then 136 00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:25,640 Speaker 1: obviously the forty nine ers who are fully loaded on offense. 137 00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:29,440 Speaker 1: How are you gonna stop them? It's why Debo, which 138 00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:31,720 Speaker 1: I thought was a little over the top during the offseason, 139 00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:33,800 Speaker 1: like TiVo, just let it go. He didn't let it go. 140 00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:37,360 Speaker 1: You know why, because he knew. He knew that they 141 00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:40,480 Speaker 1: can't play with him, just like the Cowboys coming in 142 00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:43,200 Speaker 1: this game know that that secondary cannot They can't play 143 00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:46,360 Speaker 1: with anyone who's good. Honestly, in a dome, I wouldn't 144 00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:48,600 Speaker 1: like him against the Lions. How are they covering all 145 00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:51,400 Speaker 1: their guys? And the Lions have their own issues and outdoors, 146 00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:53,280 Speaker 1: I would probably still like the Eagles. But if you 147 00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:55,800 Speaker 1: told me neutral field and a dome, how are they 148 00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:59,360 Speaker 1: stopping those guys? And unless your defensive lineman get home 149 00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:02,840 Speaker 1: every other you're screwed. And I think you're watching this 150 00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:06,160 Speaker 1: come to fruition right now because the offense it's kind 151 00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:08,040 Speaker 1: of been off for a while now. Every once in 152 00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:10,200 Speaker 1: a while they hit a big play and it kind 153 00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:14,160 Speaker 1: of band aids the situation. Like after Fletcher Cox causes 154 00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:17,119 Speaker 1: the fumble, Eagles are hanging around. They have the drive 155 00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:21,720 Speaker 1: where Jalen scrambles out throws a bomb to DeVante and 156 00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:24,480 Speaker 1: I swear to god, I've seen Deavante Smith make that catch, 157 00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:27,880 Speaker 1: you know, ninety nine out of one hundred times, but he's, 158 00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:31,040 Speaker 1: you know, fingertip short, he's laying out. It just doesn't 159 00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:33,960 Speaker 1: come down and when they hit that play. Even if 160 00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:36,320 Speaker 1: they had hit that play, it would still band aid 161 00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:39,640 Speaker 1: them not playing that well. But when you hit explosive 162 00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:42,000 Speaker 1: plays you see it in the NBA, you can play 163 00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:45,080 Speaker 1: really shitty be down twenty most of the game have 164 00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:46,960 Speaker 1: a five minute stretch where you hit ten threes all 165 00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:50,280 Speaker 1: of a sudden you win by ten. It's no different football. 166 00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:53,000 Speaker 1: If you have the capability at any moment to hit 167 00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:55,959 Speaker 1: fifty yard bombs, which obviously the Eagles do, you can 168 00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:58,320 Speaker 1: get back into a game pretty fast. They didn't really 169 00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:01,600 Speaker 1: do it tonight and they got worked. But I just listen. 170 00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:05,440 Speaker 1: Their offenses kind of looks the same way for a while. 171 00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:10,760 Speaker 1: But defensively that is putrid. That is really really ugly. 172 00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:13,520 Speaker 1: But I don't know what they do. Like Bradbury's slay 173 00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:17,560 Speaker 1: are their corners, their linebackers are there, like Jeremiah Trotter 174 00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:21,160 Speaker 1: and his primes not walking through that door. I just 175 00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:23,120 Speaker 1: think that their options are kind of limited and they 176 00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:25,840 Speaker 1: need their defense or defensive line to be all worldly 177 00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:28,200 Speaker 1: to hang with the Cowboys and the forty nine ers, 178 00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:31,679 Speaker 1: who are just clearly better. I mean, that's just objective, 179 00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:34,079 Speaker 1: and I'm a sneaky Eagles guy. I got a bunch 180 00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:37,680 Speaker 1: of friends that work there, know Howie watched that team 181 00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:40,400 Speaker 1: very closely, like I want them, like, I would love 182 00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:43,079 Speaker 1: to see a rematch Niners Eagles, but I think it 183 00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:45,840 Speaker 1: would look kind of like we just saw. Listen, I 184 00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:48,160 Speaker 1: like the Cowboys in this game. I didn't expect it 185 00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:51,240 Speaker 1: to quite look like that. Cowbys is better. And then 186 00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:53,760 Speaker 1: you start, like I said, with the coaching staff. Here's 187 00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:56,800 Speaker 1: the thing, and I always say this about like right now, 188 00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:59,560 Speaker 1: with Mike Tomlin. What's his pitch? What does he do 189 00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:02,760 Speaker 1: to the opp How can he influence them? You can't? 190 00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:04,800 Speaker 1: What are you gonna do? You can only give so 191 00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:08,400 Speaker 1: many raw ro speeches. Hey, Trubisky, let's work on her feet. 192 00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:11,400 Speaker 1: Let's call these specific plays you can run. He's not 193 00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:13,960 Speaker 1: doing that. It's not his It's not what defensive coaches do, 194 00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:17,000 Speaker 1: right like, and that's what makes Sirianni kind of unique. 195 00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:19,439 Speaker 1: He's an offensive guy, but he doesn't call the plays. 196 00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:22,400 Speaker 1: He's just kind of raw, raw guy, which kind of 197 00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:24,079 Speaker 1: works when you're winning games. But what happens when we 198 00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:26,720 Speaker 1: start losing? What happens when the Niners and Cowboys beat 199 00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:29,240 Speaker 1: the shit out of you? Like, what's your pitch besides 200 00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:31,640 Speaker 1: some raw raw? We gotta get it together. How do 201 00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:34,280 Speaker 1: you make that offense better? What can you do to 202 00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:37,600 Speaker 1: influence your young defensive coordinator? Doesn't look good right now? 203 00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:40,080 Speaker 1: Who's kind of holding on for dear life? I don't 204 00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:42,440 Speaker 1: know what he does. And that's kind of my question 205 00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:45,640 Speaker 1: on Sirianni. And I'm not trying to be some Sirianni hater, but, 206 00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:49,400 Speaker 1: like you watch tonight, Mike McCarthy fires Kellen Moore, he 207 00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:52,400 Speaker 1: takes over the play calling and their offense has been dominant, 208 00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:54,720 Speaker 1: and he knows he has a five six million dollar 209 00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:57,360 Speaker 1: defensive coordinator and they're gonna kick ass. So if he's 210 00:10:57,400 --> 00:11:00,960 Speaker 1: good offensive coordinator, their team's gonna be good. And everyone's 211 00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:04,679 Speaker 1: influencing the game. Dan Quinn McCarthy like, what is Sirianni doing? 212 00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:08,319 Speaker 1: That's my question besides like giving the thumbs up to 213 00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:10,520 Speaker 1: go forward on fourth and nine, and what does he 214 00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:13,959 Speaker 1: do now? Like how does he influence the team? Obviously 215 00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:16,200 Speaker 1: he's a good leader and the guys really like him, 216 00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:18,199 Speaker 1: but it's not really about that bullshit anymore. This is 217 00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:20,560 Speaker 1: a schematic game. This is an intellectual game. We're playing 218 00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:23,559 Speaker 1: against another coach, who's scheming me up? You gotta throw 219 00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:27,560 Speaker 1: some different pitches, right, and what's his pitch? I don't know. 220 00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:30,560 Speaker 1: We thought Mike McCarthy. It's like, okay, Mike, this is 221 00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:33,760 Speaker 1: your pitch. Fire, Kellen Moore, fire and neus Meyer. You 222 00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:36,880 Speaker 1: take over the offense. And look what's happened. The defense 223 00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:39,959 Speaker 1: same as the last couple of years. Awesome, right, flying 224 00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:43,720 Speaker 1: around making plays. Lose a guy doesn't matter, next guy comes, 225 00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:47,760 Speaker 1: eight pick sixes or whatever. Darron Bland has was like, okay, Mike, 226 00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:51,400 Speaker 1: microscope on you. And obviously they that Arizona game looms 227 00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:55,719 Speaker 1: large because that was that was a big loss. That 228 00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:59,840 Speaker 1: was a massive loss, especially giving their schedule. Right, it's 229 00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:05,920 Speaker 1: but McCarthy's been awesome, he really has. I mean, their 230 00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:10,640 Speaker 1: offense looks freaking dialed, and I just think the Cowboys 231 00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:13,480 Speaker 1: and I thought it last year, like when you are 232 00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:15,640 Speaker 1: that physical of a team, because that's what the Niners 233 00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:17,800 Speaker 1: and Cowboys have. When I watched the Eagles, I don't 234 00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:22,920 Speaker 1: see where's your physicality? Obviously your defensive ends can hit Blake? 235 00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:26,080 Speaker 1: Are you linebackers making place? Will we safeties make plays? 236 00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:29,680 Speaker 1: Can your corners tackle? Is there a physical nature? To you. 237 00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:31,959 Speaker 1: And I don't see that right now with Eagles. When 238 00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:34,920 Speaker 1: I watch the Cowboys, like, goddamn, I wouldn't pick them 239 00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:36,840 Speaker 1: to beat the Niners, but it wouldn't. I saw him 240 00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:39,199 Speaker 1: go toe to toe with them last year in the playoffs. 241 00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:41,640 Speaker 1: He'd like, well, John, the Eagles beat the forty nine 242 00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:43,400 Speaker 1: ers last year. We yeah, they knocked out the quarterback 243 00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:45,319 Speaker 1: on the first series, And to their coaching staff was 244 00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:48,760 Speaker 1: dramatically different. Both guys are head coaches now and Shane 245 00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:52,199 Speaker 1: Sichen's a freaking stud. I mean he has the Colts, 246 00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:55,840 Speaker 1: you know in the playoff mix with Gardner freaking Minshew. 247 00:12:56,520 --> 00:12:59,760 Speaker 1: So I just I think they got major issues. And 248 00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:02,520 Speaker 1: I just don't know what Sirianni does. And the Cowboys 249 00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:06,040 Speaker 1: like they're going through a stretch right now. Like to me, 250 00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:08,920 Speaker 1: if Dak Prescott continues to play like he's playing, given 251 00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:11,640 Speaker 1: his next couple opponents, he's gonna win the MVP. I 252 00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:14,280 Speaker 1: think he will win the MVP over brock Party. But 253 00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:15,679 Speaker 1: I think it's pretty clear it's kind of a two 254 00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:19,200 Speaker 1: horse race. The Dolphins fans, milk, what about Tua. He's 255 00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:21,959 Speaker 1: not even the MVP of your own team. That's Tyreek 256 00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:25,040 Speaker 1: Hill and we see how impossible it is for any 257 00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:27,480 Speaker 1: non quarterback to win the win the award. If you 258 00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:29,600 Speaker 1: want to vote for Tyreek Hill and they end up 259 00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:32,720 Speaker 1: winning thirteen games, I won't say shit, but don't what 260 00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:35,680 Speaker 1: about two? No, Tyreek Hill is the MVP of the team. 261 00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:37,880 Speaker 1: If you have any other argument, I can't take you 262 00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:41,679 Speaker 1: seriously and listen to has been really good, incredible season 263 00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:45,440 Speaker 1: from him. But like it takes like Barry Sanders in 264 00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:48,840 Speaker 1: your ten to split it with Brett Farv. So it 265 00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:53,280 Speaker 1: takes Adrian Peterson taking Christian Ponder to the playoffs off 266 00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:55,960 Speaker 1: a torn acl and run for three thousand yards to 267 00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:59,920 Speaker 1: it's borderline impossible. So I just don't think he can. 268 00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:02,360 Speaker 1: And I just think based on the schedule. The Niners 269 00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:05,200 Speaker 1: still have Arizona, they play the Rams, that might not 270 00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:07,720 Speaker 1: mean anything. They have one big game against the Ravens, 271 00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:11,120 Speaker 1: and they play the Commanders. Look at the Cowboys schedule 272 00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:14,679 Speaker 1: right next week at Buffalo. I haven't even looked at 273 00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:16,640 Speaker 1: next week's schedule. I promise you that's the biggest game 274 00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:20,240 Speaker 1: on the schedule in two weeks. The Dolphins got news 275 00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:22,520 Speaker 1: for you that one's gonna be pretty big. Then they 276 00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:26,640 Speaker 1: play the Lions, massive game if you tell me the 277 00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:29,560 Speaker 1: Cowboys win the next three games, because when you look 278 00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:31,680 Speaker 1: at the schedule, this is why a lot of people 279 00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:35,480 Speaker 1: said Eagles can't afford to lose this game. Look at 280 00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:38,120 Speaker 1: the two schedules and they're still probably gonna win the division. 281 00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:41,160 Speaker 1: And that's probably true right now. If I had to say, 282 00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:44,120 Speaker 1: like Middlecock, grab five thousand dollars, do you put it 283 00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:46,040 Speaker 1: on the Cowboys or do you put it on the Eagles? 284 00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:48,600 Speaker 1: Given what you know right now, I would put it 285 00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:51,800 Speaker 1: on the Eagles just based on the competition. Also, their 286 00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:55,000 Speaker 1: defense is struggle. They get the Giants twice, so I 287 00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:57,160 Speaker 1: still feel you know, if I'm an Eagles fan, like 288 00:14:57,240 --> 00:14:59,080 Speaker 1: I don't feel good about the way my team's plan, 289 00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:01,880 Speaker 1: but the way the sk breaks, we should be able 290 00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:04,640 Speaker 1: to get the two seeds, which is pretty big. Though 291 00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:07,720 Speaker 1: the Cowboys just rattle off victories, it'll be hard to 292 00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:11,040 Speaker 1: dispute that they are them in the forty nine. Ers 293 00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:14,720 Speaker 1: would be playing much better football than the Philadelphia Eagles. 294 00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:17,840 Speaker 1: And I think Dak Prescott if he continues to throw 295 00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:20,960 Speaker 1: two or three touchdowns against the Bills, against the Dolphins, 296 00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:22,760 Speaker 1: against the Lions, which he might end up throwing four 297 00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:25,000 Speaker 1: or five. He's gonna be the MVP of the league. 298 00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:27,040 Speaker 1: He really is. Part of it is the momentum he 299 00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:30,400 Speaker 1: has playing in the NFL longer than perty He's been 300 00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:32,000 Speaker 1: on the CUSS. A couple of years ago, he had 301 00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:34,800 Speaker 1: a thirty seven to ten season. Cowboys won the division. 302 00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:37,000 Speaker 1: They were really good. I think it's gonna be very 303 00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:40,680 Speaker 1: difficult for Perdy to win it, though I think he's 304 00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:44,120 Speaker 1: had an MVP caliber season relative to the rest of 305 00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:46,920 Speaker 1: the league. It's kind of a down year. There's not 306 00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:50,520 Speaker 1: like some Aaron Rodgers, Peyton Manning, Tom Brady forty five 307 00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:54,200 Speaker 1: touchdown type quarterback performance season going down right now? I mean, 308 00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:57,680 Speaker 1: what's Dak can end up throwing thirty seven touchdowns? Right? 309 00:15:57,800 --> 00:16:01,000 Speaker 1: Which is really good? He threw thirty seven a couple 310 00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:02,920 Speaker 1: of years ago. Like, I'm not taking anything away from 311 00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:06,280 Speaker 1: but it doesn't feel like the greatest crop. It's why 312 00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:10,280 Speaker 1: guys like Tyreek, even Christian McCaffrey are still very much alive. 313 00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:15,760 Speaker 1: But I just think that, you know, he's in big 314 00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:18,120 Speaker 1: time position to win it, especially with the games he's 315 00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:20,840 Speaker 1: got coming up, because this next week against Buffalo, there 316 00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:23,320 Speaker 1: be a lot of eyeballs on that bad boy. My 317 00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:26,920 Speaker 1: bold take of the week on Thursday was I took 318 00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:31,560 Speaker 1: the Jets and I said, you know what, trap game 319 00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:34,720 Speaker 1: for Houston. I bet Zach Wilson just kind of lets 320 00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:39,000 Speaker 1: it fly and I'm watching. I had it on, I 321 00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:41,600 Speaker 1: had three TVs going. I gave that its own TV. 322 00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:46,040 Speaker 1: It's zero zero at halftime. The Jets have punted every 323 00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:50,480 Speaker 1: single series. It was pretty embarrassing to watch now. It was. 324 00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:54,440 Speaker 1: It was wet, just an ugly game. He came out 325 00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:59,440 Speaker 1: and played fifteen minutes of game time, probably thirty five 326 00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:02,960 Speaker 1: forty minute It's of actual time, the best football he's 327 00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:06,439 Speaker 1: ever played in his life. If you just watched like 328 00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:10,000 Speaker 1: the four straight series in the second half, you'd go, 329 00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:14,160 Speaker 1: that's what a high pick is supposed to look like. Physically, 330 00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:18,520 Speaker 1: the arm, talent, the movement skills, the accuracy, the explosiveness 331 00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:20,800 Speaker 1: out of his arm. He just looked like a very 332 00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:24,679 Speaker 1: very talented player. And then after the game, right before 333 00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:27,040 Speaker 1: I came on for this from during Sunday Football, when 334 00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:28,680 Speaker 1: it started being blow I started kind of looking around 335 00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:33,640 Speaker 1: the internet and all his teammates were basically saying Zach 336 00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:36,840 Speaker 1: had the attitude all week, like fuck it, what's the worst. 337 00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:40,480 Speaker 1: That's gonna happen. Send me to the bench again. And 338 00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:43,280 Speaker 1: he's right, like, you have nothing to lose at this point, 339 00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:46,919 Speaker 1: nothing clearly the team, the front off, they don't care 340 00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:51,080 Speaker 1: about you anymore. Everyone thinks you stink. Everyone views you 341 00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:55,520 Speaker 1: as like an all time level bust. And the crazy 342 00:17:55,520 --> 00:17:58,240 Speaker 1: part about Zach Wilson, there was a play earlier this season. 343 00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:02,400 Speaker 1: I forget who. It was a against maybe the Raiders. 344 00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:04,960 Speaker 1: He rolled out at the end of the game to 345 00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:08,119 Speaker 1: throw a hail Mary and he scrambled. It was against 346 00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:10,720 Speaker 1: the Raiders because Max Crosby had him dead to rights 347 00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:13,000 Speaker 1: and he does like a juke move, and this is 348 00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:15,080 Speaker 1: they end up losing the game. And he scrambles around 349 00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:18,119 Speaker 1: and he gets close to the out of bounds line 350 00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:21,000 Speaker 1: and he lets the thing rip fifty sixty seventy yards 351 00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:23,480 Speaker 1: in the air. And I was like, physically, this guy 352 00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:26,640 Speaker 1: is so gifted. And I was watching Drew Locke today 353 00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:29,080 Speaker 1: and he's like the poor man Zach Wilson. And this 354 00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:31,720 Speaker 1: is the hard part about quarterback, right, Both those two 355 00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:34,960 Speaker 1: guys have more physical gifts than let's say brock Purty. 356 00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:39,199 Speaker 1: They're more athletic, their arms are definitely more powerful. But 357 00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:43,880 Speaker 1: part of playing quarterback is one an innate feel, being 358 00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:47,600 Speaker 1: able to handle calling plays, knowing what all their ten 359 00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:51,200 Speaker 1: guys are doing, reading a defense, reacting when you're pressured, 360 00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:54,760 Speaker 1: reacting when shit goes wrong, being accurate when plays are there, 361 00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:58,800 Speaker 1: being accurate when plays or not. It's it's insanely difficult 362 00:18:58,840 --> 00:19:00,760 Speaker 1: to play. We all know this at this point now. 363 00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:04,359 Speaker 1: And Zach for the most part, has never shown the 364 00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:07,880 Speaker 1: instincts of how to play. And then because his instincts 365 00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:09,639 Speaker 1: are all off, he gets all out of whack and 366 00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:13,359 Speaker 1: his accuracy is terrible. But you watch him today, especially 367 00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:16,199 Speaker 1: in the second half, he was just so smooth and 368 00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:20,280 Speaker 1: under control. It's like, where is this any semblance of 369 00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:23,720 Speaker 1: this bend? If you had just shown bits and pieces 370 00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:28,320 Speaker 1: of this, your story would be dramatically different. And I listen. 371 00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:31,600 Speaker 1: I don't come from a family that has like addictive qualities, 372 00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:35,280 Speaker 1: So I've been around addiction, but not like truly close 373 00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:38,439 Speaker 1: with family members through you know, family friends or definitely 374 00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:41,679 Speaker 1: friends of mine. But when it's a situation that's not 375 00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:44,320 Speaker 1: like a mom, a dad, a brother, you know, even 376 00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:46,720 Speaker 1: a friend that you see every day, there's a distance 377 00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:50,040 Speaker 1: between it and you don't feel it. But when you 378 00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:52,639 Speaker 1: hit rock bottom, right, And a lot of times it 379 00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:54,760 Speaker 1: takes someone to hit rock bottom. And just you know, 380 00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:56,800 Speaker 1: in the world of addiction, just because you hit rock bottom, 381 00:19:56,800 --> 00:19:58,679 Speaker 1: it doesn't mean you ever get out of it. I 382 00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:00,800 Speaker 1: had a good friend that you know, could never shake stuff, 383 00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:02,320 Speaker 1: and you know, you go down the wrong path, it 384 00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:05,760 Speaker 1: costs your life. Right. In sports, a lot of times 385 00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:08,840 Speaker 1: you hear guys that hit rock bottom with their own careers. 386 00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:12,680 Speaker 1: It cost them their careers. And luckily it's not life 387 00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:14,680 Speaker 1: or death. You just get out of the league, you 388 00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:17,840 Speaker 1: get cut. Your career ends. And then they talk about 389 00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:20,320 Speaker 1: when they were when they're older. Right, if their career 390 00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:23,680 Speaker 1: ends young, in their twenties, how god, if I would 391 00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:26,920 Speaker 1: have done this, this and that different. And I didn't 392 00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:29,679 Speaker 1: know at the time, and I lost it all. And 393 00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:32,480 Speaker 1: I think you see with Zach Wilson, how did he 394 00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:34,320 Speaker 1: not hit rock bottom? Over the last couple of weeks 395 00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:38,960 Speaker 1: he was benched for Tim fucking Boil. That's one of 396 00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:41,119 Speaker 1: the most embarrassing things you'll ever see. He was the 397 00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:44,800 Speaker 1: number two pick in the draft for Tim Boil even 398 00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:47,720 Speaker 1: last week or last year. Mike White kind of understandable, 399 00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:52,240 Speaker 1: or even Joe Flacco, Tim Boyle and maybe he just 400 00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:55,080 Speaker 1: looked in the mirror and realized, like, what are we doing? 401 00:20:56,040 --> 00:20:58,640 Speaker 1: And sometimes, and this is the hard part about pro sports, 402 00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:01,040 Speaker 1: even if you do have a rock bottom moment, you 403 00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:04,119 Speaker 1: might just not be good enough. There's there's like a 404 00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:07,600 Speaker 1: fine line between looking in the mirror and going like 405 00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:10,240 Speaker 1: I need to take a deep breath. I'm better than this. 406 00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:12,320 Speaker 1: I need to focus harder, I need to work harder. 407 00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:16,600 Speaker 1: And maybe your skills don't train like just aren't good enough. Right, 408 00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:19,800 Speaker 1: this is the highest level, the most competitive league. It's 409 00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:21,919 Speaker 1: just sometimes you're just not gonna be good enough. I 410 00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:24,240 Speaker 1: watch Zach Wilson. Physically he is good enough. Hell, I 411 00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:26,640 Speaker 1: watch Drew Lock and think he's physically as good enough. Now, 412 00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:29,800 Speaker 1: Drew Lock is not as smooth when he even looks 413 00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:33,720 Speaker 1: good as Zach Wilson. But both guys like just make 414 00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:35,880 Speaker 1: you wonder. Now. I don't think Drew Lock will ever 415 00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:39,600 Speaker 1: be good. He's older, obviously, I do watch Zach Wilson 416 00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:41,320 Speaker 1: then go I just wonder if there could be a 417 00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:44,800 Speaker 1: moment where he figures out. And that doesn't mean to 418 00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:48,639 Speaker 1: become some you know, high level player, but he should 419 00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:52,080 Speaker 1: not be as bad as he's been. And today I 420 00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:55,840 Speaker 1: watched a ton of that game. It was pretty fun 421 00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:58,760 Speaker 1: to watch. He is a fun player. He is a 422 00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:03,879 Speaker 1: very physically gifted, enjoyable like his traits are enjoyable to 423 00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:06,600 Speaker 1: watch when you're on the couch. You just never know. 424 00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:09,639 Speaker 1: In sports, we've seen a lot of guys and listen, 425 00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:12,879 Speaker 1: I'm guilty of this. This guy sucks. He's never gonna 426 00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:15,960 Speaker 1: be shit. Cut him, get him out of here, and 427 00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:18,639 Speaker 1: guys figure it out later. Right, Maybe they get with 428 00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:21,600 Speaker 1: the right coach, Maybe they needed their own ego cut 429 00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:27,560 Speaker 1: down to the whatever n degree where they just needed 430 00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:32,200 Speaker 1: to basically start from scratch. Maybe a situation like Zach Wilson. 431 00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:36,480 Speaker 1: But crazier things have happened. I watched this clip during 432 00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:39,719 Speaker 1: the Cowboy Eagle game of Trent Williams talking in the 433 00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:44,240 Speaker 1: locker room after the game, and he discussed rock Purdy 434 00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:47,920 Speaker 1: because people keep acting like he's a system quarterback and 435 00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:49,960 Speaker 1: you know, it's all the weapons and he's not doing 436 00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:52,760 Speaker 1: and he just he said something that I've been saying 437 00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:57,440 Speaker 1: for a while. I don't think you can overemphasize how 438 00:22:57,480 --> 00:23:01,639 Speaker 1: important the conversation that revolves around Rock Purdy all falls 439 00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:04,840 Speaker 1: back to his draft pick. He even use Zach Wilson, 440 00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:07,640 Speaker 1: he said, if Brock perty, which is kind of ironic 441 00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:10,200 Speaker 1: because the Niners had the next pick, Trey Lance. So 442 00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:12,240 Speaker 1: he could have just said, if Rockberty had been Trey Lance, 443 00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:16,480 Speaker 1: we'd be like, goddamn, this guy's incredible. What a pick 444 00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:18,840 Speaker 1: you traded? All those picks? Who cares? They turned into 445 00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:22,320 Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill, Bradley Chubb. None of it matters, Jalen Waddle, 446 00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:25,800 Speaker 1: You got Trey Lance? Is this if Rock Purdy had 447 00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:28,639 Speaker 1: been drafted three? But when you're a late round pick, 448 00:23:28,840 --> 00:23:32,240 Speaker 1: and listen, I'm not acting like I'm not guilty of 449 00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:34,920 Speaker 1: this either. You got this guy can't be that good. 450 00:23:35,119 --> 00:23:37,560 Speaker 1: This is a flash in the pan. It happens a 451 00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:40,000 Speaker 1: lot with a lot of different players. But at this 452 00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:42,040 Speaker 1: point in time one that there is no discussion if 453 00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:45,160 Speaker 1: the guy can play or not. He clearly can play right, 454 00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:47,680 Speaker 1: And now the discussion is is this guy going to 455 00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:50,200 Speaker 1: go on to be consistently one of the better quarterbacks 456 00:23:50,359 --> 00:23:53,840 Speaker 1: in the NFL? And I listen the way he's playing, 457 00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:57,399 Speaker 1: He's played like a top five quarterback this year. Do 458 00:23:57,480 --> 00:24:00,360 Speaker 1: I think he's a top five quarterback overall in the NFL? Well, 459 00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:02,600 Speaker 1: sample size is pretty small, but in twenty twenty three, 460 00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:07,120 Speaker 1: It's not even debatable that he's a high end, top 461 00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:10,160 Speaker 1: level quarterback this season. The other thing that he does 462 00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:16,720 Speaker 1: that most quote unquote system quarterbacks just cannot do is 463 00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:21,040 Speaker 1: consistently throw bombs. I mean part of what Brock Purdy, 464 00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:24,960 Speaker 1: the Brock Purty experience this season has had like a 465 00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:29,960 Speaker 1: mahomes Allen Herbert Hurts level flair. He will push the 466 00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:34,240 Speaker 1: ball way down the field. So anyone saying he's just 467 00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:38,520 Speaker 1: Dnking and Duncan to his skill, guys are just refused 468 00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:41,320 Speaker 1: to change their opinion. I don't know what's wrong with 469 00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:46,959 Speaker 1: changing your opinion. Things change all the time in our 470 00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:50,760 Speaker 1: personal lives and our professional lives. Like ten years ago, 471 00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:54,639 Speaker 1: podcast barely exists radio dominated. What do you think is 472 00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:56,639 Speaker 1: happening in twenty twenty three? What do you think the 473 00:24:56,640 --> 00:24:59,639 Speaker 1: case will be in twenty twenty six? Whatever podcasts are out, 474 00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:03,879 Speaker 1: they're gonna dramatically bigger. What about twenty thirty eight? Who knows? 475 00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:06,119 Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not I wouldn't guarantee the podcast are 476 00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:08,800 Speaker 1: the number one thing. Things might change again as you 477 00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:12,320 Speaker 1: see things and things develop. If you don't change your opinion, 478 00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:15,320 Speaker 1: you're crazy. I the Lions were really good earlier in 479 00:25:15,320 --> 00:25:17,760 Speaker 1: the season. You watch him play now, they're not playing 480 00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:21,160 Speaker 1: very good. They have major issues. The quarterback can't play outside. 481 00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:23,199 Speaker 1: I don't like him as much as I did a 482 00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:27,320 Speaker 1: month ago. Why I got some more data change my opinion. 483 00:25:28,840 --> 00:25:30,879 Speaker 1: I wouldn't have a million years said last year at 484 00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:33,920 Speaker 1: this time brock Perty's a high end player. Seventh round 485 00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:37,399 Speaker 1: pick started like one game. Well a year later, I 486 00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:42,080 Speaker 1: watched the guy play week in week out. Ninety five 487 00:25:42,119 --> 00:25:44,399 Speaker 1: percent of his moments as a starter have been good, 488 00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:47,080 Speaker 1: even his bad games, had a lot of good moments 489 00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:49,560 Speaker 1: in the bad games, which he hasn't had many bad games. 490 00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:51,880 Speaker 1: Now do I think he's gonna be some all time 491 00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:55,000 Speaker 1: break corps? I have no clue. We're in fucking year two. 492 00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:58,439 Speaker 1: But right based on right now, he's one of the 493 00:25:58,440 --> 00:26:02,240 Speaker 1: best seventh round picks we've ever I've seen. I looked 494 00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:04,320 Speaker 1: it up the other day. The best seventh round quarterback 495 00:26:04,359 --> 00:26:07,720 Speaker 1: you could argue is Ryan Fitzpatrick. So the bar is 496 00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:12,399 Speaker 1: pretty low. I just think this conversation, which listen, I 497 00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:14,760 Speaker 1: understand why it goes on and on and on. The 498 00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:17,000 Speaker 1: forty nine ers are easily one of the biggest fan 499 00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:19,920 Speaker 1: bases in the NFL. So when you talk about them, 500 00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:23,840 Speaker 1: it's just a quantity game. More people react. Like when 501 00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:25,920 Speaker 1: I talk shit on social media or on here about 502 00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:28,399 Speaker 1: the Lakers, I'm not doing it to get a reaction. 503 00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:31,680 Speaker 1: I legitimately don't like them, but I also do know 504 00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:35,760 Speaker 1: like I'm not talking about the Uh, I don't even 505 00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:38,320 Speaker 1: know the Orlando Magic, some team without fans. They have 506 00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:41,640 Speaker 1: more fans than anybody. I know that for a fact. Right, 507 00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:43,639 Speaker 1: Like if I hated the Yankees and I was always 508 00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:46,879 Speaker 1: talking to I would I could say, hey, listen, I 509 00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:48,840 Speaker 1: don't like them, but I'd be the first of aeknowledge 510 00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:52,000 Speaker 1: like they're just bigger than everyone else. And uh, listen, 511 00:26:52,040 --> 00:26:54,359 Speaker 1: the Cowboys are the biggest. You could make a strong 512 00:26:54,440 --> 00:26:56,320 Speaker 1: argument that the forty nine ers are the biggest. So 513 00:26:56,359 --> 00:26:59,400 Speaker 1: when you see these people talking on TV over and over, 514 00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:02,200 Speaker 1: like Nick right, not gonna pivot his opinion, he's of dumby, 515 00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:05,280 Speaker 1: SE's the metrics. And there's a difference between like, oh, 516 00:27:05,280 --> 00:27:08,000 Speaker 1: that's just clickbait. It's like, guys, I've never been paid 517 00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:10,400 Speaker 1: for a tweet. I'm just telling you what I think, right, 518 00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:12,919 Speaker 1: and like television clickbait or just you realize you got 519 00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:15,560 Speaker 1: a good topic. It's interesting. Some people will pivot, some 520 00:27:15,560 --> 00:27:18,280 Speaker 1: people won't. But if you're not pivoting, now, you just 521 00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:20,920 Speaker 1: it's kind of a stick. It's just like the gimmick 522 00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:23,159 Speaker 1: of your show. And I'm not even picking on him. 523 00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:24,920 Speaker 1: It could be anybody. A lot of people are talking 524 00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:26,600 Speaker 1: shit about the guy and shit about the guy strong 525 00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:29,120 Speaker 1: just refuse to give the guy, as the kids would say, 526 00:27:29,160 --> 00:27:35,200 Speaker 1: his flowers. Okay, let's talk about my friends at Morgan 527 00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:37,600 Speaker 1: and Morgan. Do you know that getting in an accident 528 00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:42,400 Speaker 1: is hard, Hiring Morgan and Morgan is easy.

Morgan and Morgan is America's largest injury firm, 533 00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:03,560 Speaker 1: with over a one hundred offices nationwide and nine hundred lawyers. 534 00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:07,080 Speaker 1: Morgan and Morgan has been fighting for the people for 535 00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:10,720 Speaker 1: over thirty five years. Listen, We've all known people who 536 00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:15,560 Speaker 1: have gotten accidents, and having good representation is key.

This is a paid advertisement. Okay, Last, 545 00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:50,400 Speaker 1: but not least, I mentioned this to Colin and I 546 00:28:50,440 --> 00:28:52,959 Speaker 1: truly believe it. The Chargers are never gonna work in 547 00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:55,960 Speaker 1: Los Angeles now. The NFL had to get to LA 548 00:28:56,560 --> 00:28:59,760 Speaker 1: and having been to that stadium, it's not like anything 549 00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:02,320 Speaker 1: I've ever been to it before in my life. Now, 550 00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:04,640 Speaker 1: I'm not comparing it to like, you know, some of 551 00:29:04,680 --> 00:29:09,040 Speaker 1: the great iconic stadiums, the Lambeau's, Fenway Parks, Wrigley Fields, 552 00:29:09,560 --> 00:29:13,760 Speaker 1: that type stuff. I'm just saying, new age modern stadium 553 00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:16,600 Speaker 1: ain't nothing like that. Bad boy. No, they had to 554 00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:19,960 Speaker 1: get a team there, and Saint Louis, you didn't get 555 00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:22,240 Speaker 1: your team stolen. You originally stole that team from LA. 556 00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:25,760 Speaker 1: LA just took it back. LA deserved to have a 557 00:29:25,840 --> 00:29:29,280 Speaker 1: national team in the NFL. They did not need to, 558 00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:33,760 Speaker 1: and having two teams makes no sense. The Chargers do 559 00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:39,120 Speaker 1: not do not belong in La Nobody cares. It does 560 00:29:39,160 --> 00:29:42,040 Speaker 1: not work. And you can have a million opinions on 561 00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:45,240 Speaker 1: Brandon Staley and Herbert who's now injured. I think their 562 00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:48,640 Speaker 1: whole franchise is kind of fucking broke. And listen, I 563 00:29:48,760 --> 00:29:51,680 Speaker 1: understand they're never going back to San Diego, but it 564 00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:55,600 Speaker 1: just does not work. And I used to be adamant 565 00:29:55,960 --> 00:29:57,840 Speaker 1: and I was biased because I knew a lot of 566 00:29:57,920 --> 00:30:01,320 Speaker 1: Raider fans. The Raiders made the right move. They could 567 00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:05,960 Speaker 1: not have survived in Oakland, California. They had to go, 568 00:30:06,480 --> 00:30:12,080 Speaker 1: and going to Vegas economically was worth a ton it 569 00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:16,600 Speaker 1: everything about it, Like my initial take back in sixteen 570 00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:19,680 Speaker 1: or seventeen, I was very emotional and I talked to 571 00:30:19,680 --> 00:30:21,960 Speaker 1: a lot of shit about it. Not only was I wrong, 572 00:30:22,040 --> 00:30:24,760 Speaker 1: I mean I was proven wrong immediately and I knew 573 00:30:24,760 --> 00:30:26,720 Speaker 1: I was wrong. Everyone around me with a brain was 574 00:30:26,760 --> 00:30:29,440 Speaker 1: like middle there was a no brainer, one no brainer. 575 00:30:29,720 --> 00:30:32,960 Speaker 1: That little area where the Colisseum is an oracle where 576 00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:35,760 Speaker 1: the Warriors used to play. They should take dynamite around 577 00:30:35,800 --> 00:30:38,040 Speaker 1: that whole thing. Because they've lost three teams in seven years. 578 00:30:38,080 --> 00:30:40,800 Speaker 1: It's got to be a record in the history of sports, 579 00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:44,680 Speaker 1: and fucking go klaplui on that place. Blow it all up. 580 00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:46,840 Speaker 1: That's one of the worst areas you'll ever go to. 581 00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:50,400 Speaker 1: I mean, just to complete dump those two stadiums and 582 00:30:50,440 --> 00:30:55,880 Speaker 1: this new stadium is incredible. Problem is they have no 583 00:30:56,000 --> 00:31:00,360 Speaker 1: fans there and it is such a destination for others. 584 00:31:01,040 --> 00:31:04,520 Speaker 1: If they play any team with any sort of pulse, 585 00:31:05,640 --> 00:31:08,760 Speaker 1: it's a complete home game for them. It's what happened 586 00:31:08,760 --> 00:31:11,840 Speaker 1: to the Chargers forever it happened to the Raiders. The 587 00:31:11,920 --> 00:31:16,000 Speaker 1: Vikings tweeted out this video of people doing the skull chant. 588 00:31:16,680 --> 00:31:19,400 Speaker 1: If you wouldn't have known, Like if you didn't know 589 00:31:19,480 --> 00:31:22,480 Speaker 1: anything about today, who was playing who? What was going on? 590 00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:25,480 Speaker 1: And I and I just told you, here's a picture 591 00:31:25,520 --> 00:31:27,920 Speaker 1: of the Vikings they're playing the Raiders to day. You're like, God, 592 00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:30,960 Speaker 1: it is lit in Minnesota. I swear to god. It 593 00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:33,480 Speaker 1: looked like every single person in the stands was there 594 00:31:33,560 --> 00:31:37,040 Speaker 1: for the Minnesota Vikings, which makes sense. They are a massive, 595 00:31:37,080 --> 00:31:40,360 Speaker 1: massive NFL brand and clearly they have, you know, a 596 00:31:40,360 --> 00:31:42,840 Speaker 1: lot of fans willing to travel. That thing was a 597 00:31:42,880 --> 00:31:45,520 Speaker 1: home game, well, they played the Steelers earlier this year. 598 00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:47,160 Speaker 1: It was a home game for Pittsburgh, they played the 599 00:31:47,160 --> 00:31:48,560 Speaker 1: forty nine ers. It's a home game for the forty 600 00:31:48,640 --> 00:31:51,240 Speaker 1: nine ers. It's impossible to get their own fans there 601 00:31:51,600 --> 00:31:53,880 Speaker 1: because all the away fans are willing to pay a 602 00:31:53,920 --> 00:31:56,880 Speaker 1: little bit more just to get out wherever they're coming from, 603 00:31:57,280 --> 00:31:59,280 Speaker 1: go to Vegas for a couple of days and go 604 00:31:59,320 --> 00:32:02,760 Speaker 1: to the game. So while Mark made the right move 605 00:32:03,160 --> 00:32:07,400 Speaker 1: taking the franchise there for the economic health of his team, 606 00:32:07,880 --> 00:32:10,320 Speaker 1: that they did not have money as a family, it 607 00:32:10,560 --> 00:32:12,880 Speaker 1: changed the landscape or the history of the franchise changed 608 00:32:12,920 --> 00:32:15,640 Speaker 1: the value of the team if they ever sold the team, 609 00:32:16,760 --> 00:32:20,080 Speaker 1: the Washington Football Team, Commanders, Redskins, whatever the fuck they're called. 610 00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:24,320 Speaker 1: When for six you can't convince me with an arena 611 00:32:24,360 --> 00:32:26,800 Speaker 1: that they don't have to pay for in a city 612 00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:29,480 Speaker 1: with no state income tax, which if you told me 613 00:32:29,480 --> 00:32:31,600 Speaker 1: the next fifty years, what's one of the highest growth 614 00:32:31,680 --> 00:32:36,720 Speaker 1: cities in America, it'd be Vegas. I mean, this doesn't 615 00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:39,360 Speaker 1: happen because the NFL doesn't work this way, and it's 616 00:32:39,400 --> 00:32:41,480 Speaker 1: hard to do like an open bidding when you're talking 617 00:32:41,520 --> 00:32:46,400 Speaker 1: about five plus billion dollars. But if more people, like 618 00:32:46,560 --> 00:32:48,840 Speaker 1: rich people could get involved, and it's harder because the 619 00:32:48,880 --> 00:32:51,000 Speaker 1: numbers are so high, I think you get like ten 620 00:32:51,080 --> 00:32:55,040 Speaker 1: billion dollars. But regardless, if you got a David Tepper 621 00:32:55,160 --> 00:32:57,720 Speaker 1: or Steve Balmer, whoever that type guy to buy the team, 622 00:32:58,160 --> 00:33:00,680 Speaker 1: it will not change the fact it's in possible to 623 00:33:00,720 --> 00:33:03,920 Speaker 1: have home games. So the Chargers and the Raiders have 624 00:33:04,240 --> 00:33:08,160 Speaker 1: no home games now. In fairness to the Raiders, compared 625 00:33:08,160 --> 00:33:10,960 Speaker 1: to the Chargers, they have a lot more fans. But 626 00:33:11,280 --> 00:33:13,760 Speaker 1: what are you supposed to do if these away fans 627 00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:16,800 Speaker 1: are willing to pay premium on prices? So maybe you, 628 00:33:16,840 --> 00:33:18,600 Speaker 1: as a fan is willing to pay two hundred dollars. 629 00:33:18,760 --> 00:33:20,600 Speaker 1: It's like, I'll go to Vegas with that guy coming 630 00:33:20,600 --> 00:33:23,640 Speaker 1: from Minnesota. Listen, that's a big week. I'll fucking pay 631 00:33:23,680 --> 00:33:26,560 Speaker 1: buy the same ticket for six hundred dollars. You're not 632 00:33:26,600 --> 00:33:29,160 Speaker 1: gonna get it. It's just basic supply demand and willingness 633 00:33:29,240 --> 00:33:31,040 Speaker 1: of someone to pay something you're not willing to pay. 634 00:33:31,640 --> 00:33:34,600 Speaker 1: So that that video is one of the most eye 635 00:33:34,640 --> 00:33:37,760 Speaker 1: opening things I've ever seen. Like a couple of years ago, 636 00:33:37,760 --> 00:33:40,520 Speaker 1: when the forty nine Ers played the Rams, I was there. 637 00:33:41,640 --> 00:33:44,240 Speaker 1: It was like seventy thirty nine Er fans, pretty understandable, 638 00:33:44,520 --> 00:33:47,520 Speaker 1: enormous game, A ton of Niner fans in LA. The 639 00:33:47,560 --> 00:33:51,080 Speaker 1: stuff with Vegas. It's like Minnesota, Dallas, the Giants, you 640 00:33:51,320 --> 00:33:54,160 Speaker 1: n the Dolphins, you name the team, every team they 641 00:33:54,160 --> 00:33:57,160 Speaker 1: play from all over the country. Packed house. That is 642 00:33:57,280 --> 00:34:01,520 Speaker 1: never gonna change. So listen, Mark lot Richer. Now his 643 00:34:01,640 --> 00:34:11,640 Speaker 1: home field advantage is just non existent. The volume
