WEBVTT - Best Of - Nick Wright reacts to Chiefs DISASTER vs. Jaguars, Bill Belichick NIGHTMARE at UNC, 49ers QB dilemma?

0:00:00.280 --> 0:00:02.480
<v Speaker 1>Welcome to the Best of the Week for What's Right

0:00:02.560 --> 0:00:05.200
<v Speaker 1>with Nick Right, the best takes and moments from this

0:00:05.280 --> 0:00:10.480
<v Speaker 1>week on the show. Enjoy. I didn't really sleep last

0:00:10.560 --> 0:00:13.600
<v Speaker 1>night and then got up this morning, took your sister

0:00:13.680 --> 0:00:17.360
<v Speaker 1>to school, picked your mom up from the gym. I

0:00:17.360 --> 0:00:20.000
<v Speaker 1>don't know if I said ten words to either one

0:00:20.040 --> 0:00:23.840
<v Speaker 1>of them. I then just laid on the couch, which

0:00:23.840 --> 0:00:26.920
<v Speaker 1>I never do in the mornings, and tried to like

0:00:27.040 --> 0:00:30.720
<v Speaker 1>take a nap. That didn't work. You know how I

0:00:30.760 --> 0:00:35.200
<v Speaker 1>can tell your mom knows I'm in a teetering emotional

0:00:35.240 --> 0:00:41.280
<v Speaker 1>place is Well, here's here's how I know that she

0:00:41.479 --> 0:00:47.720
<v Speaker 1>knows and that she's empathetic, because there were she's doing

0:00:47.760 --> 0:00:54.840
<v Speaker 1>like a whole giant house cleaning thing prior to her birthday. Well, no,

0:00:54.960 --> 0:01:01.960
<v Speaker 1>hold on there. Within the nineties seconds when I came downstairs,

0:01:02.760 --> 0:01:06.640
<v Speaker 1>there were three things I saw her do that she

0:01:06.880 --> 0:01:12.080
<v Speaker 1>had asked me to do previously, and she wasn't even

0:01:12.120 --> 0:01:14.600
<v Speaker 1>mad at me. Yep, I was like, oh, she legit

0:01:14.680 --> 0:01:18.880
<v Speaker 1>feels bad for me right now, She's like, she is

0:01:18.920 --> 0:01:21.000
<v Speaker 1>really showing a real amount of empathy.

0:01:21.080 --> 0:01:21.760
<v Speaker 2>Because I was.

0:01:21.720 --> 0:01:24.360
<v Speaker 1>Supposed to put those coffee cups away. I was supposed

0:01:24.360 --> 0:01:28.160
<v Speaker 1>to throw that backpack away, and she's doing all of it,

0:01:28.280 --> 0:01:30.240
<v Speaker 1>and she's doing with a smile on her face, which

0:01:30.280 --> 0:01:34.520
<v Speaker 1>means she has correctly clocked that I'm not doing great.

0:01:34.959 --> 0:01:39.119
<v Speaker 1>Hopefully this will be my Catharsis. Let's get to Monday

0:01:39.160 --> 0:01:39.760
<v Speaker 1>night football.

0:01:40.160 --> 0:01:44.040
<v Speaker 3>Shout out to Audre. So we saw what Trevor Lawrence

0:01:44.080 --> 0:01:46.960
<v Speaker 3>did to the Chiefs yesterday. It was also his twenty

0:01:46.959 --> 0:01:49.640
<v Speaker 3>sixth birthday, and he walked out of there with a dub.

0:01:50.280 --> 0:01:52.600
<v Speaker 3>What do you want to talk about first, your Prince's

0:01:52.680 --> 0:01:55.520
<v Speaker 3>success or your chief's downfall in this game?

0:01:56.480 --> 0:01:59.280
<v Speaker 1>Okay, as much as I'd like to start with Trevor,

0:01:59.320 --> 0:01:59.600
<v Speaker 1>we have.

0:01:59.560 --> 0:02:01.320
<v Speaker 2>To start with Chiefs.

0:02:01.360 --> 0:02:08.519
<v Speaker 1>And here's the reason. That game is so so much

0:02:08.600 --> 0:02:14.680
<v Speaker 1>more upsetting than the Charger game or the Eagle game,

0:02:16.000 --> 0:02:22.440
<v Speaker 1>and so much more upsetting than any recent memory regular

0:02:22.520 --> 0:02:29.960
<v Speaker 1>season loss. One thing about the Chiefs being the Chiefs

0:02:31.000 --> 0:02:36.880
<v Speaker 1>is they simply do not lose games like that. Now,

0:02:37.040 --> 0:02:40.800
<v Speaker 1>they get out played. Sometimes the offense we've seen over

0:02:40.800 --> 0:02:42.919
<v Speaker 1>the last couple of years get stuck in the mud.

0:02:43.680 --> 0:02:48.280
<v Speaker 1>They you know, there are ways that they can lose

0:02:48.320 --> 0:02:53.680
<v Speaker 1>a game and other people panic or you know, talk

0:02:53.760 --> 0:02:57.000
<v Speaker 1>about in what bad shape the team is in and

0:02:57.080 --> 0:03:02.240
<v Speaker 1>I do not because of the the full confidence that

0:03:02.320 --> 0:03:04.720
<v Speaker 1>by the end of the year Patrick will have figured

0:03:04.720 --> 0:03:07.040
<v Speaker 1>stuff out, or the team will get healthier, or whatever

0:03:07.080 --> 0:03:12.600
<v Speaker 1>it is. Losing a game like that last night, they

0:03:12.600 --> 0:03:17.720
<v Speaker 1>don't blow two touchdown leads. Every other team in the league, mate,

0:03:18.120 --> 0:03:27.360
<v Speaker 1>they don't. They did last night countless countless special teams

0:03:27.440 --> 0:03:36.680
<v Speaker 1>mistakes the multiple The same player, Jack Cochrane, who held

0:03:36.720 --> 0:03:40.200
<v Speaker 1>on a big kick return earlier in the game, does

0:03:40.280 --> 0:03:45.600
<v Speaker 1>the only thing he can't do on the final kickoff

0:03:45.640 --> 0:03:50.040
<v Speaker 1>of the game, which is hold again. Because in that moment,

0:03:50.160 --> 0:03:53.600
<v Speaker 1>I thought, while I didn't like what had happened, twenty

0:03:53.640 --> 0:03:56.800
<v Speaker 1>three seconds, three timeouts, the Chiefs gonna have the ball

0:03:56.840 --> 0:03:59.480
<v Speaker 1>around the twenty five to thirty yard line. I fully

0:03:59.520 --> 0:04:01.840
<v Speaker 1>trusted that we were at least gonna get a kick

0:04:02.480 --> 0:04:06.520
<v Speaker 1>to tie the game. But that hold has the double

0:04:06.520 --> 0:04:09.640
<v Speaker 1>whammy of they returned it, so you burned six of

0:04:09.680 --> 0:04:14.240
<v Speaker 1>the twenty three seconds and you started on the fifteen.

0:04:18.240 --> 0:04:22.520
<v Speaker 1>Also with the special teams, Bucker kicking it out of

0:04:22.560 --> 0:04:26.000
<v Speaker 1>bounds when he has been shaky Buck. We are now

0:04:26.160 --> 0:04:30.080
<v Speaker 1>five for five in games this year where Bucker makes

0:04:30.440 --> 0:04:34.360
<v Speaker 1>a mistake, either missus an extra point, miss it, Yes,

0:04:35.480 --> 0:04:38.640
<v Speaker 1>missus an extra point miss is a kick or kicks

0:04:38.680 --> 0:04:42.200
<v Speaker 1>it out of bounds. And then and I'm not this

0:04:42.480 --> 0:04:47.160
<v Speaker 1>oddly is the part of the game that was least

0:04:47.320 --> 0:04:53.200
<v Speaker 1>bothersome to me, But it was the most damaging was

0:04:53.440 --> 0:04:56.200
<v Speaker 1>you know, Patrick made a mistake he simply doesn't make,

0:04:56.960 --> 0:04:59.720
<v Speaker 1>which is the ninety nine yard pick six that flipped

0:04:59.720 --> 0:05:03.640
<v Speaker 1>the end higher game. Now that you can fairly say

0:05:03.720 --> 0:05:07.280
<v Speaker 1>that cost them the game. I mean that was a

0:05:07.400 --> 0:05:13.440
<v Speaker 1>basically a true fourteen point swing. But I know this

0:05:13.720 --> 0:05:17.320
<v Speaker 1>might sound odd to the audience. That is the least

0:05:17.360 --> 0:05:24.320
<v Speaker 1>of my concerns. The committing that many penalties that consistently,

0:05:25.680 --> 0:05:30.000
<v Speaker 1>And now what does make me feel like the Chiefs

0:05:30.000 --> 0:05:35.000
<v Speaker 1>are very close to being the Chiefs again, is there

0:05:35.080 --> 0:05:39.880
<v Speaker 1>is a direct correlation to how scary the Chiefs are

0:05:39.920 --> 0:05:43.720
<v Speaker 1>to the rest of the world and how quickly and

0:05:43.920 --> 0:05:49.840
<v Speaker 1>loudly we get the idiotic conspiracy theories once again, when yes,

0:05:50.040 --> 0:05:55.039
<v Speaker 1>they missed a DPI on an interception, but this game

0:05:55.080 --> 0:05:57.400
<v Speaker 1>would have been well, I don't know that it was.

0:05:58.040 --> 0:06:00.919
<v Speaker 1>I don't know that it was worse than when the

0:06:01.040 --> 0:06:04.240
<v Speaker 1>Jags are down fourteen to nothing and it's third and

0:06:04.360 --> 0:06:09.320
<v Speaker 1>fifteen and there is a phantom DPI that kept them

0:06:09.320 --> 0:06:12.520
<v Speaker 1>in the game. Like calls get missed in both directions.

0:06:12.800 --> 0:06:16.680
<v Speaker 1>The people got mad because Patrick correctly pointed out to

0:06:16.720 --> 0:06:21.200
<v Speaker 1>the ref we get one yard on the rub route

0:06:21.240 --> 0:06:23.840
<v Speaker 1>on Kelsey's touchdown, and I don't know what the hell

0:06:23.920 --> 0:06:28.120
<v Speaker 1>Russell Yurke was looking at. He says, the play was

0:06:28.200 --> 0:06:32.000
<v Speaker 1>snapped at the two juju is setting the pick at

0:06:32.040 --> 0:06:35.280
<v Speaker 1>the one. That is the definition. You literally had the

0:06:35.320 --> 0:06:38.880
<v Speaker 1>little hashmark showing you it was a yard, and so

0:06:39.920 --> 0:06:42.839
<v Speaker 1>I unders listen, they missed. The ref's missed a really

0:06:42.880 --> 0:06:45.479
<v Speaker 1>bad call, there's no question about it. And the Chiefs

0:06:45.520 --> 0:06:47.919
<v Speaker 1>got to pick out of it. The Chiefs were penalized

0:06:47.960 --> 0:06:52.640
<v Speaker 1>I think ten times more or nine times more than Jacksonville.

0:06:52.720 --> 0:06:54.880
<v Speaker 1>That was not a oh. The Chiefs got all the calls,

0:06:55.080 --> 0:06:58.479
<v Speaker 1>but also those weren't bad except for the DPI on

0:06:58.560 --> 0:07:02.080
<v Speaker 1>third and fifteen. Those weren't bad calls against the Chiefs.

0:07:02.279 --> 0:07:06.200
<v Speaker 1>They were making mistakes. And here's the other piece of it,

0:07:06.960 --> 0:07:12.480
<v Speaker 1>and this is what is so And Patrick kind of

0:07:12.520 --> 0:07:15.120
<v Speaker 1>said it without saying it when he said we've already

0:07:15.200 --> 0:07:22.000
<v Speaker 1>lost too many games. They they had a nightmare, nightmare

0:07:22.440 --> 0:07:26.840
<v Speaker 1>opening two weeks of the season and they had the

0:07:26.960 --> 0:07:34.280
<v Speaker 1>opportunity to make it all back by week five, go

0:07:34.360 --> 0:07:36.920
<v Speaker 1>from zero and two to Tide for first in the division,

0:07:37.440 --> 0:07:43.360
<v Speaker 1>one game out of first place in the entire conference,

0:07:44.120 --> 0:07:51.160
<v Speaker 1>and to and you guys, notice I didn't have Kansas

0:07:51.200 --> 0:07:53.280
<v Speaker 1>City minus three and a half in Knicks picks. I

0:07:53.400 --> 0:07:58.160
<v Speaker 1>actually think Jacksonville is better than people gave him credit

0:07:58.200 --> 0:08:02.680
<v Speaker 1>for it. And I was saying all we Jacksonville was

0:08:02.760 --> 0:08:08.200
<v Speaker 1>three and one despite Trevor, and that if Trevor played well,

0:08:08.240 --> 0:08:10.960
<v Speaker 1>they're a very dangerous team. And we'll get to Trevor later,

0:08:11.000 --> 0:08:14.400
<v Speaker 1>because that was just a perfect Trevor Lawrence game. Some

0:08:14.520 --> 0:08:19.240
<v Speaker 1>horrible mistakes, some great throws, used his legs, you know,

0:08:19.880 --> 0:08:23.440
<v Speaker 1>better than he usually does, even though he's great with that.

0:08:24.040 --> 0:08:27.800
<v Speaker 1>The So I didn't It's not that I think losing

0:08:27.840 --> 0:08:28.680
<v Speaker 1>to the Jags.

0:08:29.600 --> 0:08:31.760
<v Speaker 3>It's just that was a game that I feel like

0:08:31.800 --> 0:08:34.720
<v Speaker 3>they needed. They really wanted that game and they didn't

0:08:34.720 --> 0:08:36.680
<v Speaker 3>get it. And it was also like it was the

0:08:36.760 --> 0:08:38.680
<v Speaker 3>Jaguars at the same time that.

0:08:39.120 --> 0:08:42.400
<v Speaker 1>They needed it, demands, they wanted it, and they had

0:08:42.440 --> 0:08:50.480
<v Speaker 1>it right like the While the Chiefs don't blow teams

0:08:50.520 --> 0:08:54.439
<v Speaker 1>out the way the other excellent teams in football do,

0:08:54.800 --> 0:08:59.679
<v Speaker 1>over the last few years, they just simply never beat themselves,

0:09:00.120 --> 0:09:04.079
<v Speaker 1>and yesterday they beat themselves. Yesterday is the first game

0:09:04.800 --> 0:09:09.800
<v Speaker 1>in four years the Chiefs have won the turnover battle

0:09:09.880 --> 0:09:14.720
<v Speaker 1>and lost the game. There have only been three games

0:09:14.760 --> 0:09:18.640
<v Speaker 1>in the last four years where they have won or

0:09:18.880 --> 0:09:22.160
<v Speaker 1>tied the turnover battle and lost the game. Week one

0:09:22.200 --> 0:09:25.400
<v Speaker 1>against Detroit couple of years ago, the pick six, Week

0:09:25.480 --> 0:09:27.880
<v Speaker 1>one against the Chargers this year and neither team turned

0:09:27.880 --> 0:09:31.040
<v Speaker 1>it over. And then this week with a pick six,

0:09:33.960 --> 0:09:43.560
<v Speaker 1>and so all of that just it. It's just a

0:09:43.600 --> 0:09:47.600
<v Speaker 1>horrible loss. Let me add another thing before I get

0:09:47.640 --> 0:09:55.640
<v Speaker 1>to the other side of it. My biggest concern with

0:09:55.800 --> 0:10:01.920
<v Speaker 1>Kansas City after Week one, whenever there have been let

0:10:01.960 --> 0:10:06.440
<v Speaker 1>me rephrase it. There have been two concerns that I

0:10:06.559 --> 0:10:12.080
<v Speaker 1>have had about the Chiefs, basically from week one on

0:10:13.880 --> 0:10:19.800
<v Speaker 1>that while everyone else was focused on Mahomes in the

0:10:19.840 --> 0:10:25.200
<v Speaker 1>passing game, I was simply not worried. One was the

0:10:25.320 --> 0:10:28.640
<v Speaker 1>lack of any type of burst or explosion in the

0:10:28.720 --> 0:10:33.760
<v Speaker 1>running game. Now I thought that was Pacheco and Hunts,

0:10:33.840 --> 0:10:36.840
<v Speaker 1>both of them, you know, one of their better if not,

0:10:36.920 --> 0:10:38.760
<v Speaker 1>they're each of their best games of the year. My

0:10:38.800 --> 0:10:43.080
<v Speaker 1>hair is a mess. I apologize, but it still feels

0:10:43.120 --> 0:10:46.160
<v Speaker 1>like that's a spot they need to upgrade, and Patrick

0:10:46.320 --> 0:10:52.760
<v Speaker 1>leading the team in rushing is unacceptable and makes me nervous.

0:10:53.920 --> 0:10:56.960
<v Speaker 1>But the other thing that was greatly concerning to me

0:10:57.040 --> 0:11:03.160
<v Speaker 1>about week one was total inability to generate a pass

0:11:03.280 --> 0:11:08.120
<v Speaker 1>rush without sending a blitz, and I felt like you

0:11:08.200 --> 0:11:14.280
<v Speaker 1>saw that again last night. So those the running back

0:11:14.320 --> 0:11:19.680
<v Speaker 1>position I think can be. Of all the weaknesses you

0:11:19.760 --> 0:11:24.280
<v Speaker 1>can have, that to me is the simplest to attempt

0:11:24.280 --> 0:11:28.080
<v Speaker 1>to remedy because they should be able to relatively cheaply

0:11:28.559 --> 0:11:33.520
<v Speaker 1>trade for and upgrade at running back. The pass rush

0:11:33.720 --> 0:11:38.679
<v Speaker 1>just has to get better. And Chris obviously has a

0:11:38.720 --> 0:11:43.280
<v Speaker 1>brutal film on the play when Trevor fell down. Now,

0:11:43.679 --> 0:11:48.439
<v Speaker 1>I don't actually think him standing there or if he

0:11:48.440 --> 0:11:50.520
<v Speaker 1>would have been going one hundred miles an hour, it

0:11:50.520 --> 0:11:52.840
<v Speaker 1>would have changed the impact of the play, But that

0:11:53.000 --> 0:11:55.520
<v Speaker 1>is brutal, brutal tape.

0:11:55.679 --> 0:11:58.240
<v Speaker 3>I think he could have absolutely made a play on it.

0:11:58.320 --> 0:12:00.840
<v Speaker 3>He could have stopped him from scoring touchdown. You think so,

0:12:01.480 --> 0:12:04.760
<v Speaker 3>I think I feel like he's watching the action from there.

0:12:04.800 --> 0:12:07.000
<v Speaker 3>If he starts running off to the right, might be

0:12:07.040 --> 0:12:08.880
<v Speaker 3>able to intercept Treman Lawrence.

0:12:09.080 --> 0:12:12.800
<v Speaker 1>Oh I right, I agree that right there he starts

0:12:12.880 --> 0:12:15.680
<v Speaker 1>running off to the right. My point is, by the

0:12:17.720 --> 0:12:20.920
<v Speaker 1>been going full bore. If he would have been going

0:12:20.960 --> 0:12:23.920
<v Speaker 1>full bore, he wouldn't have he wouldn't have be lined

0:12:23.920 --> 0:12:26.640
<v Speaker 1>to the right. He would have gone upfield and then

0:12:26.760 --> 0:12:29.400
<v Speaker 1>but it doesn't matter. I want to make this clear.

0:12:29.760 --> 0:12:32.920
<v Speaker 1>It doesn't matter that he wouldn't have made the I

0:12:32.960 --> 0:12:35.560
<v Speaker 1>don't think he would have made the play. What matters

0:12:35.679 --> 0:12:39.439
<v Speaker 1>is how the hell are you doing that in that spot?

0:12:39.280 --> 0:12:44.240
<v Speaker 1>But you know what I mean, like, what is the uh?

0:12:44.280 --> 0:12:47.400
<v Speaker 1>He played it almost as if the Chiefs coaching point

0:12:47.440 --> 0:12:49.880
<v Speaker 1>there was let them score, so we get the ball

0:12:49.960 --> 0:12:52.600
<v Speaker 1>back with a chance to tie it. But no one

0:12:52.640 --> 0:12:56.320
<v Speaker 1>else on the defense was you know, had that was

0:12:56.360 --> 0:13:02.000
<v Speaker 1>feeling that way? And so all of those things demon's

0:13:01.720 --> 0:13:10.120
<v Speaker 1>are uh truly greatly real like issues and why this

0:13:10.200 --> 0:13:18.760
<v Speaker 1>has been so such a troubling twelve hours now the

0:13:18.840 --> 0:13:28.840
<v Speaker 1>flip side, Patrick looks great, and he looks great. And

0:13:28.920 --> 0:13:32.240
<v Speaker 1>the offenses, I mean they what they have five hundred

0:13:32.280 --> 0:13:36.000
<v Speaker 1>yards of offense yesterday almost like now again that's not

0:13:36.640 --> 0:13:40.559
<v Speaker 1>the Andy said it, and he's right. The goal of

0:13:40.600 --> 0:13:42.680
<v Speaker 1>the game is not to put up a ton of

0:13:42.720 --> 0:13:46.559
<v Speaker 1>yards put up points and our red zone issues that

0:13:46.960 --> 0:13:49.400
<v Speaker 1>you know he didn't say this, I'll say this Patrick's

0:13:49.960 --> 0:13:55.080
<v Speaker 1>bad mistake. The penalties. Those things are how you lose

0:13:55.120 --> 0:14:02.800
<v Speaker 1>football games. But Kansas City, particularly when Rashi gets back,

0:14:03.320 --> 0:14:06.319
<v Speaker 1>I think is going to be back to being a

0:14:06.800 --> 0:14:11.360
<v Speaker 1>very explosive offense again. So that part is great, But

0:14:12.720 --> 0:14:19.440
<v Speaker 1>two and three is none. And you just you had

0:14:19.480 --> 0:14:24.240
<v Speaker 1>the opportunity had you taken care of Going into last

0:14:24.320 --> 0:14:29.440
<v Speaker 1>night's game, you were like, there were there's the four

0:14:29.480 --> 0:14:33.160
<v Speaker 1>and one Bills who you play later this year, the

0:14:33.280 --> 0:14:36.080
<v Speaker 1>four and one Colts who you play later this year,

0:14:36.840 --> 0:14:39.800
<v Speaker 1>and the Jags were sitting there with one loss and

0:14:39.840 --> 0:14:44.200
<v Speaker 1>you were playing them that night. And so it also

0:14:44.600 --> 0:14:57.840
<v Speaker 1>puts a lot of pressure on next week. And next

0:14:57.840 --> 0:15:02.880
<v Speaker 1>week is the Detroit Lions, who post Week one have

0:15:03.040 --> 0:15:12.120
<v Speaker 1>looked like the best team in the league. By the way,

0:15:12.280 --> 0:15:16.360
<v Speaker 1>Lebron just posted, I guess did Hennessy front run him

0:15:16.360 --> 0:15:20.560
<v Speaker 1>on this? That's so funny? Real quick?

0:15:22.960 --> 0:15:24.800
<v Speaker 2>Is that the announcement or hold on.

0:15:25.160 --> 0:15:27.320
<v Speaker 1>I'm just gonna let you guys hear it. I hope,

0:15:28.520 --> 0:15:29.880
<v Speaker 1>hold on, let me see if I can do this.

0:15:30.960 --> 0:15:31.400
<v Speaker 2>Hold on?

0:15:31.480 --> 0:15:35.200
<v Speaker 1>What here? It is? No I got I'm just gonna

0:15:35.240 --> 0:15:36.920
<v Speaker 1>do it like this, You'll do it old school.

0:15:37.840 --> 0:15:41.240
<v Speaker 4>Well, everyone's on pens and needles across the country. Are

0:15:41.240 --> 0:15:41.840
<v Speaker 4>you ready to go?

0:15:41.920 --> 0:15:42.280
<v Speaker 1>Lebron?

0:15:43.240 --> 0:15:45.160
<v Speaker 5>Where's the powder left at home?

0:15:46.400 --> 0:15:48.800
<v Speaker 4>Lebron fans want to know where you're taking your talents

0:15:48.800 --> 0:15:52.600
<v Speaker 4>this year. What's your decision in this fall?

0:15:53.360 --> 0:15:53.600
<v Speaker 1>Man?

0:15:53.600 --> 0:15:57.560
<v Speaker 5>This is tough. In this fall, I'm gonna be taking

0:15:57.560 --> 0:16:01.600
<v Speaker 5>my talents to ansop.

0:16:02.440 --> 0:16:04.400
<v Speaker 4>And this was the conclusion you woke up with this morning.

0:16:04.480 --> 0:16:06.280
<v Speaker 5>That was a conclusion I woke up with this morning.

0:16:06.920 --> 0:16:09.520
<v Speaker 5>Why I feel like it's gonna give me the best

0:16:09.520 --> 0:16:12.240
<v Speaker 5>opportunity to win more at hosting. And not only that,

0:16:12.520 --> 0:16:15.480
<v Speaker 5>when that signature in hottails, we didn't have a good time.

0:16:17.840 --> 0:16:21.080
<v Speaker 5>We didn't making memories, we didn't making it look easy.

0:16:21.440 --> 0:16:22.520
<v Speaker 2>We and at leaving.

0:16:22.280 --> 0:16:23.240
<v Speaker 1>People wanting more.

0:16:27.440 --> 0:16:29.040
<v Speaker 4>Lebron appreciate it.

0:16:32.520 --> 0:16:40.040
<v Speaker 1>DECII okay, so real quick quick sidebar of course, like

0:16:40.120 --> 0:16:42.000
<v Speaker 1>now listen, I would have been wrong. I thought I

0:16:42.000 --> 0:16:44.800
<v Speaker 1>had something to do with Amazon Prime Day because he

0:16:44.960 --> 0:16:53.600
<v Speaker 1>worked with Amazon. But Danny yesterday when Lebron sent that tweet,

0:16:53.920 --> 0:16:57.800
<v Speaker 1>he came, He's like, you saw Lebron's thing. I'm like yeah,

0:16:57.840 --> 0:17:01.840
<v Speaker 1>And he asked, he said, you think it's anything. I

0:17:01.880 --> 0:17:05.960
<v Speaker 1>was like, I would bet anything. It's an AD And

0:17:06.119 --> 0:17:09.719
<v Speaker 1>he asked me why, and he thought my answer was

0:17:10.560 --> 0:17:13.960
<v Speaker 1>kind of ridiculous. But it's why I knew it was

0:17:14.000 --> 0:17:19.439
<v Speaker 1>an AD. I said, because it's at noon. It's what

0:17:19.520 --> 0:17:20.120
<v Speaker 1>he said it.

0:17:20.040 --> 0:17:20.480
<v Speaker 2>Was going to be.

0:17:20.560 --> 0:17:23.760
<v Speaker 1>And he's like, that's the reason, and.

0:17:23.680 --> 0:17:25.199
<v Speaker 2>I was like, yeah, it's like more of like a

0:17:25.280 --> 0:17:25.600
<v Speaker 2>night thing.

0:17:26.840 --> 0:17:31.960
<v Speaker 1>Yes, it's prime time. He's like, if Lebron is going

0:17:32.040 --> 0:17:38.480
<v Speaker 1>to announce his retirement, it's not going to be Noone

0:17:38.520 --> 0:17:42.480
<v Speaker 1>on a Tuesday. I'm gonna tell you right now. It's

0:17:42.560 --> 0:17:48.080
<v Speaker 1>just so I there there was real like questions. I

0:17:48.119 --> 0:17:52.399
<v Speaker 1>got text from people or whatever about what we like

0:17:52.600 --> 0:17:56.640
<v Speaker 1>this show or the TV show or whatever. What are

0:17:56.800 --> 0:17:59.119
<v Speaker 1>what we want to do? And I don't want to

0:17:59.160 --> 0:18:02.280
<v Speaker 1>say I ignore them, but I in my head I

0:18:02.280 --> 0:18:05.800
<v Speaker 1>ignored him. I'm like, guys, I promised, this is not

0:18:06.000 --> 0:18:09.639
<v Speaker 1>like Intel. I didn't talk to I didn't. I was

0:18:09.760 --> 0:18:14.560
<v Speaker 1>so non plussed by this, Like I obviously am real

0:18:14.680 --> 0:18:19.240
<v Speaker 1>close with some of Lebron's closest people, Mavericks and dear friend.

0:18:19.680 --> 0:18:22.199
<v Speaker 1>I see Rich a few times a year. You know,

0:18:22.400 --> 0:18:25.680
<v Speaker 1>Rich works with my agent. I didn't even send any

0:18:25.720 --> 0:18:28.520
<v Speaker 1>of them a text like with a question mark like

0:18:28.560 --> 0:18:32.760
<v Speaker 1>they it was so obvious to me. To me, it

0:18:32.800 --> 0:18:36.440
<v Speaker 1>was just like if if he had set the exact

0:18:36.440 --> 0:18:46.560
<v Speaker 1>same tweet and it said Monday, seven pm, my heart

0:18:46.560 --> 0:18:50.879
<v Speaker 1>would have skip to beat like a little bit yeah,

0:18:50.920 --> 0:18:54.000
<v Speaker 1>like maybe like there might be uh, there might be

0:18:54.040 --> 0:18:58.240
<v Speaker 1>something here, But Tuesday at noon. The guy is not

0:18:58.400 --> 0:19:02.200
<v Speaker 1>announcing his retirement Tuesday now he was. If you didn't

0:19:02.280 --> 0:19:05.959
<v Speaker 1>get the and I didn't show you the he's wearing

0:19:06.000 --> 0:19:10.800
<v Speaker 1>the same shirt he wore to the original decision, like

0:19:10.880 --> 0:19:17.240
<v Speaker 1>kind of right, and the the script is the questions

0:19:17.240 --> 0:19:20.440
<v Speaker 1>he was asked, like the no powder that it's all

0:19:21.200 --> 0:19:26.040
<v Speaker 1>the exact same beats of the original decision. But yes,

0:19:26.200 --> 0:19:30.960
<v Speaker 1>listen shout. Also, by the way, I don't know what

0:19:31.560 --> 0:19:35.560
<v Speaker 1>Hennessy you know, paid Bron, but I do know that

0:19:35.600 --> 0:19:37.560
<v Speaker 1>they are now going to get a lot of free

0:19:37.640 --> 0:19:41.719
<v Speaker 1>media out of it by simply Lebron sending one tweet

0:19:42.520 --> 0:19:44.920
<v Speaker 1>like so, I don't know what his tweets are worth,

0:19:45.560 --> 0:19:49.639
<v Speaker 1>but that you know, I would consider that likely money

0:19:49.640 --> 0:19:53.840
<v Speaker 1>well spent. All right, back to the discussion we were having.

0:19:55.160 --> 0:19:58.520
<v Speaker 1>What were we talking about? Oh, the Lions game now

0:19:58.600 --> 0:20:01.200
<v Speaker 1>is massive. Oh that's why I I saw it because

0:20:01.200 --> 0:20:06.320
<v Speaker 1>I was going to hard rock bet to see going

0:20:06.359 --> 0:20:09.720
<v Speaker 1>into last night, and here's a fun one. Demon's wait. No,

0:20:10.560 --> 0:20:14.640
<v Speaker 1>going into last night, it was Casey minus a point

0:20:14.640 --> 0:20:20.240
<v Speaker 1>and a half. Now, typically, oddly, when a good team loses,

0:20:21.040 --> 0:20:25.160
<v Speaker 1>if they don't suffer real injury, they become bigger favorites

0:20:25.200 --> 0:20:28.800
<v Speaker 1>by a tiny bit the next week. I don't anticipate

0:20:28.920 --> 0:20:33.719
<v Speaker 1>that's what will happen here. So what, oh, what do

0:20:33.800 --> 0:20:36.439
<v Speaker 1>you think? Do you think the line moved or stayed

0:20:36.480 --> 0:20:38.479
<v Speaker 1>the same, And if it moved in what direction?

0:20:38.760 --> 0:20:41.119
<v Speaker 2>You said? Yesterday it was minus one and a.

0:20:41.080 --> 0:20:42.879
<v Speaker 1>Half, Kansas City favored by a point and.

0:20:42.880 --> 0:20:43.840
<v Speaker 2>A half a half?

0:20:44.800 --> 0:20:50.840
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I think it probably what is it minus two? Now?

0:20:50.920 --> 0:20:54.080
<v Speaker 1>It's it stayed, it stayed the same. I thought there

0:20:54.160 --> 0:20:55.960
<v Speaker 1>was a chance it would have gone the other way,

0:20:56.400 --> 0:21:01.080
<v Speaker 1>but I think the reason it didn't was because the

0:21:01.160 --> 0:21:04.680
<v Speaker 1>Chiefs offense did look really good and that Jags defense

0:21:04.800 --> 0:21:08.200
<v Speaker 1>is legit. It's just so frustrating. And this is all

0:21:08.280 --> 0:21:10.960
<v Speaker 1>I said going into it was if they don't turn

0:21:11.000 --> 0:21:14.560
<v Speaker 1>the ball over, they can't lose, and they made Listen,

0:21:14.640 --> 0:21:16.520
<v Speaker 1>it was the worst type of turnover you can make.

0:21:16.880 --> 0:21:19.760
<v Speaker 3>With that defense being how good it is like Jacksonville's

0:21:19.760 --> 0:21:21.040
<v Speaker 3>defense is it's legit.

0:21:21.119 --> 0:21:21.800
<v Speaker 2>They even came in.

0:21:21.880 --> 0:21:24.439
<v Speaker 3>They got to pick six against Patrick Malmes. Like with

0:21:24.480 --> 0:21:26.560
<v Speaker 3>the Travis Hunter thinks, I think it's so unfortunate that

0:21:26.600 --> 0:21:28.600
<v Speaker 3>he wants to play on both sides of the ball,

0:21:29.080 --> 0:21:31.400
<v Speaker 3>because I think he would make the defense that much

0:21:31.440 --> 0:21:33.800
<v Speaker 3>more dominant, or if he wanted to be one hundred

0:21:33.840 --> 0:21:36.560
<v Speaker 3>percent offense, he would just give Trevor Lawrence even that

0:21:36.600 --> 0:21:37.399
<v Speaker 3>better of a hand.

0:21:37.920 --> 0:21:39.160
<v Speaker 2>But I think.

0:21:39.200 --> 0:21:41.879
<v Speaker 3>Because it doesn't seem like he's being super effective on

0:21:41.920 --> 0:21:44.920
<v Speaker 3>either side, he's that he maxed out as long right.

0:21:44.960 --> 0:21:47.960
<v Speaker 1>Now, No, right now, it's kind of the worst of

0:21:48.040 --> 0:21:52.080
<v Speaker 1>both worlds, right listen. I know he made one really

0:21:52.080 --> 0:21:55.679
<v Speaker 1>big play in this game. Yeah, but the Jags aren't

0:21:55.720 --> 0:22:02.760
<v Speaker 1>at a shortage of weapons and right now now the

0:22:02.760 --> 0:22:08.920
<v Speaker 1>the the they trade, the only way you can justify

0:22:09.040 --> 0:22:13.359
<v Speaker 1>trading what they traded for a non quarterback is because

0:22:13.400 --> 0:22:16.840
<v Speaker 1>you thought you were getting two players. But right now

0:22:16.880 --> 0:22:20.840
<v Speaker 1>he's having less of an impact than all the guys

0:22:20.920 --> 0:22:25.000
<v Speaker 1>drafted around him who are just one way players. And

0:22:25.080 --> 0:22:32.480
<v Speaker 1>so that's the really disappointing part if you're Jacksonville, Like,

0:22:32.880 --> 0:22:37.960
<v Speaker 1>let me go to real quick, because Mason Graham, who

0:22:38.080 --> 0:22:40.159
<v Speaker 1>was the fifth pick who was part of essentially the

0:22:40.200 --> 0:22:46.919
<v Speaker 1>Travis Hunter trade, has been great. Abdullah Carter is making

0:22:46.920 --> 0:22:50.640
<v Speaker 1>a real impact. Will Campbell's the everyday left tackle. Mason

0:22:50.720 --> 0:22:54.600
<v Speaker 1>Graham has been excellent. Genty. I know that there have

0:22:54.680 --> 0:22:57.919
<v Speaker 1>been some questions about gent Genty's great. He's just the

0:22:58.480 --> 0:23:02.480
<v Speaker 1>how often is he getting the ball and how often

0:23:02.520 --> 0:23:05.560
<v Speaker 1>are they blocking for him? But you've seen more from

0:23:05.640 --> 0:23:10.280
<v Speaker 1>him already than you've seen. Travis Mimbo has been excellent

0:23:11.119 --> 0:23:14.080
<v Speaker 1>at tackle for the Jets even though they've been terrible,

0:23:14.359 --> 0:23:19.320
<v Speaker 1>and Teed McMillan has made a bigger impact the wide

0:23:19.359 --> 0:23:24.240
<v Speaker 1>receiver for Carolina. For Carolina, No, the Tampa Bay receiver's

0:23:24.240 --> 0:23:27.600
<v Speaker 1>a Buka who's been unbelievable. But he was you know,

0:23:27.680 --> 0:23:30.360
<v Speaker 1>he was a mid first round pick. He was nineteen

0:23:30.840 --> 0:23:35.880
<v Speaker 1>and so yeah, I do think that they haven't yet

0:23:35.920 --> 0:23:42.439
<v Speaker 1>figured out how to use Travis. Now listen on the Prince.

0:23:44.560 --> 0:23:46.920
<v Speaker 1>This is why he's such a tough player to quit,

0:23:48.440 --> 0:23:52.760
<v Speaker 1>because he can make that throw to Brian Thomas Junior

0:23:53.200 --> 0:23:59.000
<v Speaker 1>down the sideline, and he is he at Clemson, he

0:23:59.200 --> 0:24:03.160
<v Speaker 1>ran a lot and he is big and strong and

0:24:03.680 --> 0:24:10.399
<v Speaker 1>all those things and fast. He also loves that leap

0:24:10.440 --> 0:24:14.560
<v Speaker 1>over the goal line QB sneak. That's not the first

0:24:14.640 --> 0:24:18.040
<v Speaker 1>time it's been knocked out of his hands. He also will,

0:24:18.480 --> 0:24:26.440
<v Speaker 1>as Aikman pointed out, miss some layups and he's it's fair,

0:24:26.560 --> 0:24:31.640
<v Speaker 1>is fair. He should be better at this point than

0:24:31.760 --> 0:24:37.359
<v Speaker 1>he is. But he is now positioning himself where he

0:24:37.520 --> 0:24:43.040
<v Speaker 1>is going to have a real opportunity to have, you know,

0:24:43.200 --> 0:24:48.000
<v Speaker 1>another postseason, and the best moment of his career came

0:24:48.040 --> 0:24:53.879
<v Speaker 1>in the postseason, and so now like it's starting to

0:24:53.920 --> 0:24:56.879
<v Speaker 1>take shape a little bit right it feels to me

0:24:57.040 --> 0:25:02.280
<v Speaker 1>Demanse like like the playoff teams we can say with

0:25:02.440 --> 0:25:10.720
<v Speaker 1>confidence are Buffalo, Indie, Jacksonville, the four and one teams,

0:25:11.119 --> 0:25:14.879
<v Speaker 1>like we just got to give them credit. One team

0:25:15.359 --> 0:25:19.720
<v Speaker 1>out of the AFC North. I can't write off Baltimore yet,

0:25:19.760 --> 0:25:23.960
<v Speaker 1>but that's the only way Baltimore does it is if Pittsburgh.

0:25:24.000 --> 0:25:25.800
<v Speaker 1>The reason I'm not saying two teams out of the

0:25:25.840 --> 0:25:31.600
<v Speaker 1>North is if Pittsburgh just continues winning, Baltimore's cooked. Like Baltimore,

0:25:32.560 --> 0:25:36.240
<v Speaker 1>Baltimore's path is going to be that nine wins can

0:25:36.280 --> 0:25:41.199
<v Speaker 1>win you the division. So there's four and then I

0:25:41.400 --> 0:25:46.520
<v Speaker 1>obviously believe the Chiefs are going to be in the

0:25:46.960 --> 0:25:53.000
<v Speaker 1>I can't. It would be unfair for me to say

0:25:53.240 --> 0:25:57.160
<v Speaker 1>pencil like to put the Chiefs in pen because they're

0:25:57.160 --> 0:26:04.280
<v Speaker 1>two and three. So if we have Buffalo, Indy, Jacksonville,

0:26:04.880 --> 0:26:09.119
<v Speaker 1>and an AFC North team in then it would be

0:26:09.200 --> 0:26:18.680
<v Speaker 1>Deman's three spots, four Chiefs, Broncos, Chargers, Patriots, three spots

0:26:18.680 --> 0:26:23.520
<v Speaker 1>for those four teams. And right now the team that

0:26:23.720 --> 0:26:27.960
<v Speaker 1>probably of those four teams this moment, which team do

0:26:28.040 --> 0:26:31.600
<v Speaker 1>you think is most anxious? Because to me, I think

0:26:31.640 --> 0:26:38.720
<v Speaker 1>it's pretty clear out of Chiefs, Chargers, Broncos, Patriots, if

0:26:38.760 --> 0:26:39.800
<v Speaker 1>one of them is gonna.

0:26:39.560 --> 0:26:43.320
<v Speaker 2>Go Chargers probably, Yeah, the most anxious, it's the Chargers.

0:26:44.000 --> 0:26:46.919
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, to me, it's definitely.

0:26:46.520 --> 0:26:53.040
<v Speaker 3>The Jay and Daniels more respectable, but coming off injury.

0:26:51.880 --> 0:26:54.480
<v Speaker 1>JA and only scoring ten points and we'll get to

0:26:54.560 --> 0:27:02.000
<v Speaker 1>that game later. Wow. The producers don't always nail it

0:27:02.080 --> 0:27:06.639
<v Speaker 1>on this show. They always try with their humor, but

0:27:06.800 --> 0:27:15.960
<v Speaker 1>sometimes they they miss. This one's pretty good, yeah, because

0:27:16.119 --> 0:27:19.080
<v Speaker 1>you know, I obviously coined the tackle that turned the tide,

0:27:19.840 --> 0:27:24.119
<v Speaker 1>and by the way, I given how Patrick has played

0:27:24.200 --> 0:27:27.080
<v Speaker 1>since that moment, I think it's still even though they

0:27:27.160 --> 0:27:28.920
<v Speaker 1>lost and he threw the pick six. I think it

0:27:29.000 --> 0:27:34.920
<v Speaker 1>still applies. I thought Patrick was for seventy five out

0:27:34.960 --> 0:27:38.960
<v Speaker 1>of seventy six plays excellent yesterday. Now, the one mistake

0:27:39.000 --> 0:27:41.560
<v Speaker 1>he made like fair is fair. It flipped the game,

0:27:42.160 --> 0:27:44.240
<v Speaker 1>and so I'm not giving I'm not giving him a pass.

0:27:44.320 --> 0:27:51.880
<v Speaker 1>But if I were, if I were saying, was that encouraging? Yeah,

0:27:52.280 --> 0:27:54.680
<v Speaker 1>they said, was that the pick that made Nick sick?

0:27:55.480 --> 0:27:57.200
<v Speaker 1>And you know who suggested that?

0:27:57.480 --> 0:27:57.760
<v Speaker 2>Vic?

0:27:58.200 --> 0:28:02.919
<v Speaker 1>All right, all right, well done, well done, guys. But

0:28:03.040 --> 0:28:08.560
<v Speaker 1>they said, is Trevor's TD the stumble that started the succession?

0:28:10.400 --> 0:28:14.040
<v Speaker 1>That's pretty good. I think that's pretty good. I think

0:28:14.040 --> 0:28:17.000
<v Speaker 1>it's pretty good. I like it, guys. All Right, you

0:28:17.000 --> 0:28:18.639
<v Speaker 1>guys made me feel a little bit better.

0:28:21.080 --> 0:28:22.560
<v Speaker 2>God, I was upset.

0:28:24.160 --> 0:28:26.440
<v Speaker 1>Dan, I'm gonna have to deal with It's one thing

0:28:26.480 --> 0:28:29.080
<v Speaker 1>that I'm gonna have to deal with Colin in a

0:28:29.119 --> 0:28:34.639
<v Speaker 1>couple hours. But you know who is privately, I'm sure

0:28:35.680 --> 0:28:39.720

0:30:28.840 --> 0:30:31.240
<v Speaker 3>Things have not been going well over there in UNC

0:30:31.440 --> 0:30:33.520
<v Speaker 3>for Bill Belichick. They are off to a two and

0:30:33.600 --> 0:30:36.520
<v Speaker 3>three start, and there's even talks of the documentary being canceled.

0:30:36.720 --> 0:30:38.200
<v Speaker 2>Well, I think that's actually canceled.

0:30:39.040 --> 0:30:42.200
<v Speaker 3>And there's other talks of Bill Belichick initiating his only

0:30:42.280 --> 0:30:43.680
<v Speaker 3>million million dollar buyout.

0:30:44.160 --> 0:30:46.200
<v Speaker 2>You wanted to talk about this. Things are looking rough

0:30:46.320 --> 0:30:46.760
<v Speaker 2>for Bill.

0:30:47.080 --> 0:30:54.200
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, So listen. I think that it is noteworthy what

0:30:54.280 --> 0:30:57.120
<v Speaker 1>Ali Connolly is saying. So you guys might be like,

0:30:57.160 --> 0:31:00.560
<v Speaker 1>who is Ali Connolly? People that listen to NFL Daily

0:31:02.080 --> 0:31:07.040
<v Speaker 1>Greg Rosenthal's Great Pod are familiar with Ali Connolly. He

0:31:07.160 --> 0:31:11.840
<v Speaker 1>also has a substack in a newsletter called The Read Optional.

0:31:12.240 --> 0:31:15.040
<v Speaker 1>I think he also is involved in some of in

0:31:15.480 --> 0:31:20.320
<v Speaker 1>but he's in the UK. He's a he's in the UK.

0:31:20.360 --> 0:31:22.120
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if he's British, if he's Irish, I'm

0:31:22.160 --> 0:31:24.120
<v Speaker 1>not sure. I think he's British. I know that that's

0:31:24.160 --> 0:31:27.840
<v Speaker 1>one you don't want to get wrong. My apologies regardless.

0:31:27.880 --> 0:31:30.600
<v Speaker 1>The reason I am mentioning it is he was the

0:31:30.680 --> 0:31:35.480
<v Speaker 1>guy who broke Belichick to North Carolina, and people initially

0:31:35.560 --> 0:31:40.440
<v Speaker 1>like one of the reasons they it didn't get taken

0:31:40.680 --> 0:31:45.000
<v Speaker 1>as gospel initially was because it's like, why is this

0:31:45.120 --> 0:31:49.360
<v Speaker 1>guy in the UK breaking this story? But he had

0:31:49.400 --> 0:31:57.520
<v Speaker 1>it first by a lot. So he then yesterday sent

0:31:57.600 --> 0:32:00.800
<v Speaker 1>out the following tweet thread that I want to read

0:32:00.800 --> 0:32:05.680
<v Speaker 1>to the audience again. The guy who first had Belichick

0:32:05.760 --> 0:32:12.800
<v Speaker 1>to Carolina told us this Bill Belichick has discussed buyout

0:32:12.880 --> 0:32:17.840
<v Speaker 1>options with North Carolina's hierarchy. Belichick has signaled a willingness

0:32:17.840 --> 0:32:21.600
<v Speaker 1>to trigger his own million dollar buyout if he can

0:32:21.680 --> 0:32:25.160
<v Speaker 1>find a soft landing with another team or in media.

0:32:25.840 --> 0:32:30.520
<v Speaker 1>He goes on members of Belichick's coaching staff have already

0:32:30.680 --> 0:32:34.280
<v Speaker 1>spoken to other schools that are expected to be in

0:32:34.320 --> 0:32:39.240
<v Speaker 1>the College Football Playoff about taking on roles during the postseason.

0:32:39.640 --> 0:32:43.840
<v Speaker 1>From one coach quote, the rats are leaving the ship

0:32:44.120 --> 0:32:48.800
<v Speaker 1>end quote. Some staffers believe a change will come within

0:32:49.480 --> 0:32:55.840
<v Speaker 1>two weeks. Reports of serious recruiting violations remain under investigation

0:32:55.960 --> 0:33:00.440
<v Speaker 1>at UNC. Recruiting and practice violations have already been by

0:33:00.440 --> 0:33:05.080
<v Speaker 1>the school. According to multiple sources, using recruiting violations to

0:33:05.120 --> 0:33:08.040
<v Speaker 1>knock down and coaches buyout has become a standard practice.

0:33:08.280 --> 0:33:11.240
<v Speaker 1>If Belichick cannot find a landing spot to trigger his

0:33:11.280 --> 0:33:17.480
<v Speaker 1>own buyout, he's expected to accept a greatly reduced compromised rate.

0:33:17.880 --> 0:33:20.960
<v Speaker 1>More on that in a second. I'll explain it. Belichick's community.

0:33:20.960 --> 0:33:24.160
<v Speaker 1>Back to Dolly Connolly. Belichick's communication with his staff in

0:33:24.160 --> 0:33:27.040
<v Speaker 1>the past two weeks has been described as weird and

0:33:27.240 --> 0:33:31.920
<v Speaker 1>distant by multiple members of UNC's coaching staff. Multiple coaches

0:33:31.960 --> 0:33:34.520
<v Speaker 1>were unable to get a hold of him during un

0:33:34.640 --> 0:33:39.920
<v Speaker 1>c's bye week last tweek. From one UNC defensive assistant,

0:33:40.480 --> 0:33:45.000
<v Speaker 1>what we've done to these kids is ft up and

0:33:45.400 --> 0:33:48.120
<v Speaker 1>of tweet threat. So let me just give a little

0:33:49.560 --> 0:33:54.840
<v Speaker 1>explanation about the buyout stuff. So people understand, if Belichick

0:33:54.920 --> 0:33:59.360
<v Speaker 1>gets fired, they owe him like twenty million. If Belichick

0:33:59.560 --> 0:34:04.360
<v Speaker 1>leave on his own accord, one thought, potentially for another job,

0:34:05.040 --> 0:34:10.480
<v Speaker 1>they Belichick or whoever's hiring him has to pay one million.

0:34:11.160 --> 0:34:15.279
<v Speaker 1>What Ali is reporting is that it is now on

0:34:15.320 --> 0:34:22.440
<v Speaker 1>the board that Belichick pays that million himself just to bounce,

0:34:23.280 --> 0:34:28.360
<v Speaker 1>just to be out of there, or if that doesn't happen,

0:34:28.600 --> 0:34:31.840
<v Speaker 1>if he doesn't have you know, like they said soft landing,

0:34:32.200 --> 0:34:36.440
<v Speaker 1>that he agrees to a greatly reduced number off that

0:34:36.560 --> 0:34:40.719
<v Speaker 1>twenty million. But what Ali Connelly is reporting the too long,

0:34:40.760 --> 0:34:44.840
<v Speaker 1>didn't read version is this thing's already over If you

0:34:44.880 --> 0:34:50.440
<v Speaker 1>already have coaches talking about who they're going to coach

0:34:50.920 --> 0:34:56.640
<v Speaker 1>this year's playoffs, it's over there. And that would be

0:34:57.560 --> 0:35:03.720
<v Speaker 1>we have talked about like, can Belichick, is it fair?

0:35:03.840 --> 0:35:07.920
<v Speaker 1>Can your legacy ever go backwards? In sports?

0:35:08.040 --> 0:35:08.200
<v Speaker 5>Right?

0:35:08.840 --> 0:35:16.120
<v Speaker 1>Like all, let's say bron was in year twenty five

0:35:16.840 --> 0:35:20.759
<v Speaker 1>and averaged three points a game and was terrible, Like,

0:35:20.840 --> 0:35:24.360
<v Speaker 1>would that be fair to hold against him? And my

0:35:24.520 --> 0:35:29.960
<v Speaker 1>general rule has always been you shouldn't. You should not

0:35:31.400 --> 0:35:36.680
<v Speaker 1>be penalized for continuing to do something if like if

0:35:36.719 --> 0:35:39.239
<v Speaker 1>your legacy was here. I'm putting my hand if you're

0:35:39.280 --> 0:35:44.000
<v Speaker 1>listening up to my eyebrows, basically, and if you quit,

0:35:44.239 --> 0:35:47.880
<v Speaker 1>it was going to end there. Then continuing to play

0:35:47.880 --> 0:35:51.000
<v Speaker 1>your coach. It doesn't necessarily have to raise it, but

0:35:51.040 --> 0:35:56.640
<v Speaker 1>you shouldn't go backwards, right. There are rare instances, though,

0:35:56.680 --> 0:36:01.359
<v Speaker 1>where it feels like people do go back I think

0:36:01.480 --> 0:36:05.840
<v Speaker 1>Russell Wilson post Seattle, I think he went backwards a little.

0:36:06.000 --> 0:36:09.759
<v Speaker 1>I think of Russell Wilson after when Seattle had said

0:36:09.840 --> 0:36:13.759
<v Speaker 1>I'm retiring, and we never saw him be bad. We

0:36:13.840 --> 0:36:17.000
<v Speaker 1>never saw him on awful teams. We never saw teams

0:36:17.040 --> 0:36:19.680
<v Speaker 1>repeatedly move on from him. We would hold him in

0:36:19.719 --> 0:36:27.959
<v Speaker 1>a probably higher light. For Belichick for the thing at Carolina.

0:36:28.640 --> 0:36:33.759
<v Speaker 1>I didn't think he needed to be great there. But

0:36:34.920 --> 0:36:38.840
<v Speaker 1>the fact that they are yet to beat a Power

0:36:38.960 --> 0:36:45.000
<v Speaker 1>five school. The three legitimate teams they've played have beaten

0:36:45.080 --> 0:36:49.359
<v Speaker 1>them by an average of twenty six points per game,

0:36:49.880 --> 0:36:55.200
<v Speaker 1>and they are averaging on scoring themselves eleven points per game,

0:36:55.960 --> 0:37:00.800
<v Speaker 1>and he might just be ready to call it holy

0:37:01.000 --> 0:37:09.360
<v Speaker 1>smokes man. I it is unfathomable that it would have

0:37:09.400 --> 0:37:15.839
<v Speaker 1>gone on this wrong, this gone this wrong. And I

0:37:15.920 --> 0:37:20.200
<v Speaker 1>say this with all sincerity. It is a bit of

0:37:20.239 --> 0:37:26.720
<v Speaker 1>a lesson, and not just Hubrius, but in what can

0:37:26.880 --> 0:37:33.080
<v Speaker 1>happen if you only surround yourself with acolytes and with

0:37:33.280 --> 0:37:39.960
<v Speaker 1>yes men like the GM is Lombardi whose whole The

0:37:40.000 --> 0:37:42.480
<v Speaker 1>only you know, the only relevance he has left in

0:37:42.520 --> 0:37:48.080
<v Speaker 1>the NFL and in football is his relationship with Belichick.

0:37:48.239 --> 0:37:52.239
<v Speaker 1>I don't listen, I don't relish saying that for I

0:37:52.320 --> 0:37:54.440
<v Speaker 1>don't know how much of the audience knows this. But

0:37:55.239 --> 0:38:00.600
<v Speaker 1>when I started with Fox, I did a three time

0:38:00.680 --> 0:38:03.280
<v Speaker 1>a week, two time a week for a full football

0:38:03.320 --> 0:38:06.840
<v Speaker 1>season podcast where it was just me and Mike Lombardi.

0:38:07.800 --> 0:38:10.480
<v Speaker 1>It's called make Me Smarter. I mean, I know the guy,

0:38:11.040 --> 0:38:13.640
<v Speaker 1>but I got fair is fair? I have to call

0:38:13.680 --> 0:38:17.759
<v Speaker 1>it what it is like. In the last decade, his

0:38:17.920 --> 0:38:21.600
<v Speaker 1>connection to pro football has been his connection to Belichick.

0:38:22.520 --> 0:38:26.719
<v Speaker 1>Lombardi's kid is on the coaching staff. Both of Belichick's

0:38:26.840 --> 0:38:30.560
<v Speaker 1>kids are on the coaching staff. They they have they

0:38:30.600 --> 0:38:33.799
<v Speaker 1>have not There is not a lot of new ideas

0:38:33.880 --> 0:38:37.600
<v Speaker 1>coming in. They seemingly did a very poor job in

0:38:37.680 --> 0:38:41.280
<v Speaker 1>the transfer portal. And I mean there was the quote.

0:38:41.719 --> 0:38:43.400
<v Speaker 1>I wish I could tell you where.

0:38:43.280 --> 0:38:46.680
<v Speaker 3>I saw it going against the integrity of the game,

0:38:46.719 --> 0:38:49.960
<v Speaker 3>but their recruiting process and all that, Like he's it

0:38:50.000 --> 0:38:51.879
<v Speaker 3>sounds like they were kind of cheating a little bit.

0:38:52.400 --> 0:38:56.280
<v Speaker 1>Well, so that so that listen, I don't know.

0:38:57.040 --> 0:38:59.360
<v Speaker 2>I how much of that is true.

0:38:59.120 --> 0:39:01.600
<v Speaker 1>Or yeah, I know, I don't know enough yet about

0:39:01.640 --> 0:39:05.440
<v Speaker 1>the recruiting violations. And I also, to be totally honest,

0:39:05.719 --> 0:39:08.400
<v Speaker 1>don't even know what's legal and what's illegal in college,

0:39:09.360 --> 0:39:12.000
<v Speaker 1>Like I don't even know what. Like it seems like

0:39:12.400 --> 0:39:15.400
<v Speaker 1>I don't know how you could break the rules these days,

0:39:15.440 --> 0:39:19.560
<v Speaker 1>like and so that part of it is odd, but

0:39:19.960 --> 0:39:23.360
<v Speaker 1>set that aside. There was a quote from a coach

0:39:24.200 --> 0:39:29.680
<v Speaker 1>of a non Power five school last week that said, yeah,

0:39:29.719 --> 0:39:32.240
<v Speaker 1>I knew North Carolina was going to be screwed because

0:39:32.880 --> 0:39:36.160
<v Speaker 1>they were recruiting all the same players we were. He's like,

0:39:36.200 --> 0:39:39.040
<v Speaker 1>whenever there's a team that is recruiting all of the

0:39:39.040 --> 0:39:41.360
<v Speaker 1>guys we're after, I know that team's not going to

0:39:41.400 --> 0:39:44.520
<v Speaker 1>be able to compete at the top level, but they

0:39:44.920 --> 0:39:48.279
<v Speaker 1>so they And that sounds mean from the coach, but

0:39:48.400 --> 0:39:52.000
<v Speaker 1>that coaches. Again, I'm not saying what's school exact, because

0:39:52.000 --> 0:39:55.920
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, but yeah, he's saying he's coaching a

0:39:56.080 --> 0:39:59.520
<v Speaker 1>small school and so they should not be going after this.

0:40:00.080 --> 0:40:04.160
<v Speaker 1>Northern should be able to get elite players and did again.

0:40:04.320 --> 0:40:07.799
<v Speaker 1>I don't want, I don't want to put you on

0:40:07.880 --> 0:40:11.680
<v Speaker 1>the spot here. But you had a friend or someone

0:40:11.760 --> 0:40:12.240
<v Speaker 1>you knew.

0:40:12.719 --> 0:40:15.880
<v Speaker 3>Yeah he was, but he he ended up going to Colorado.

0:40:16.600 --> 0:40:19.760
<v Speaker 3>But he he Yeah, he went on, did the whole process.

0:40:19.840 --> 0:40:21.480
<v Speaker 3>I think he was going to do it, but you know,

0:40:21.560 --> 0:40:22.839
<v Speaker 3>playing at Colorado this year.

0:40:23.120 --> 0:40:28.000
<v Speaker 1>Okay, So, but he was recruited by Belichick's crew as

0:40:28.080 --> 0:40:31.280
<v Speaker 1>a transfer student, right, He wasn't a graduating senior.

0:40:31.280 --> 0:40:32.879
<v Speaker 2>He was transferring somewhere.

0:40:32.600 --> 0:40:42.960
<v Speaker 1>Right, Those seventy kids that transferred into North Carolina did.

0:40:42.760 --> 0:40:45.960
<v Speaker 2>It yeah for Bill? Yeah.

0:40:46.000 --> 0:40:50.880
<v Speaker 1>And if we are five games in and they're already

0:40:51.000 --> 0:40:58.320
<v Speaker 1>talking buyout and just giving up, that's pathetic, man. And

0:40:59.080 --> 0:41:04.759
<v Speaker 1>I do think that. And I try to always be

0:41:05.400 --> 0:41:14.520
<v Speaker 1>consistent and honest on this. I so the revisionist history

0:41:14.719 --> 0:41:18.719
<v Speaker 1>that some folks do, acting as if those first three

0:41:18.920 --> 0:41:26.800
<v Speaker 1>Super Bowls weren't teams that were led by the defense,

0:41:26.840 --> 0:41:29.640
<v Speaker 1>which Belichick was in charge of. I'm not down for that.

0:41:29.960 --> 0:41:34.880
<v Speaker 1>And the final Super Bowl they held the Sean McVeigh,

0:41:35.000 --> 0:41:39.960
<v Speaker 1>Todd Gurley Good, Jared goff Rams to three points. So

0:41:40.160 --> 0:41:42.880
<v Speaker 1>I am not going to act like Belichick was carried

0:41:42.880 --> 0:41:45.040
<v Speaker 1>by Tom Brady. I don't think that is the case

0:41:45.040 --> 0:41:47.720
<v Speaker 1>at all. I think they both helped each other greatly.

0:41:48.239 --> 0:41:50.080
<v Speaker 1>But I'm also not going to act like.

0:41:51.719 --> 0:41:51.799
<v Speaker 5>That.

0:41:52.680 --> 0:41:57.279
<v Speaker 1>The last half decade has not been an abject disaster

0:41:57.480 --> 0:42:02.840
<v Speaker 1>for Bill. He stopped being able to draft, he made

0:42:02.840 --> 0:42:11.200
<v Speaker 1>outrageous coaching staff decisions, his personal life became very public

0:42:11.360 --> 0:42:16.760
<v Speaker 1>and a legitimate distraction. All the bridges with New England

0:42:16.840 --> 0:42:19.440
<v Speaker 1>seem to have been burnt. And now he goes to

0:42:19.520 --> 0:42:23.320
<v Speaker 1>North Carolina and we're talking about it being over already.

0:42:24.480 --> 0:42:31.200
<v Speaker 1>That's a train wreck. And there is not yet any coach,

0:42:31.360 --> 0:42:38.840
<v Speaker 1>any modern coach demon's dat has a close enough resume

0:42:39.560 --> 0:42:44.520
<v Speaker 1>to Belichick's to start a reel who's the best coach ever?

0:42:44.560 --> 0:42:44.920
<v Speaker 2>Debate?

0:42:45.840 --> 0:42:50.799
<v Speaker 1>But if we get you know, Andy is the obvious

0:42:50.840 --> 0:42:54.120
<v Speaker 1>one that has a shot. But I'm not trying to

0:42:54.160 --> 0:42:55.839
<v Speaker 1>make this about the Chiefs. I'm not even really trying

0:42:55.840 --> 0:42:58.640
<v Speaker 1>to make this about Andy. The point I'm making is this,

0:43:00.080 --> 0:43:05.239
<v Speaker 1>if somebody gets close how it is ending for Bill

0:43:05.400 --> 0:43:09.240
<v Speaker 1>will hurt him. The fact that it was just rank

0:43:09.480 --> 0:43:17.440
<v Speaker 1>incompetence across the board. The moment Tom left even will

0:43:17.480 --> 0:43:21.040
<v Speaker 1>make people do something that I think is unfair, as

0:43:21.040 --> 0:43:23.520
<v Speaker 1>I said a moment ago, which is start to put

0:43:23.520 --> 0:43:26.279
<v Speaker 1>a bit of a curve negative curve on what he

0:43:26.320 --> 0:43:31.200
<v Speaker 1>did with Tom. And so I normally would not.

0:43:33.280 --> 0:43:34.000
<v Speaker 2>Leading with this.

0:43:34.480 --> 0:43:38.680
<v Speaker 3>All this was with Tom and then like every single

0:43:38.760 --> 0:43:40.000
<v Speaker 3>thing he did after that.

0:43:40.800 --> 0:43:45.319
<v Speaker 1>It's been a disaster. It's and so and.

0:43:45.320 --> 0:43:50.040
<v Speaker 3>Again the thing was him trying to recover on that.

0:43:50.080 --> 0:43:52.000
<v Speaker 2>It's like, oh, I went to college at what I

0:43:52.040 --> 0:43:52.719
<v Speaker 2>did and.

0:43:54.120 --> 0:43:56.520
<v Speaker 1>Correct or and that's one of the reasons he wanted

0:43:56.560 --> 0:43:59.399
<v Speaker 1>to go to another NFL team to show he could

0:43:59.440 --> 0:44:04.239
<v Speaker 1>do it. And so it will just like again just

0:44:04.280 --> 0:44:10.680
<v Speaker 1>to bring up the Andy piece of it, like Andy

0:44:10.840 --> 0:44:17.000
<v Speaker 1>had an awesome run without Patrick Mahomes, you know, like

0:44:17.239 --> 0:44:20.680
<v Speaker 1>double digit playoff appearances, went to a super Bowl, multiple

0:44:20.680 --> 0:44:24.239
<v Speaker 1>conference championship appearances, all like it, didn't get to the

0:44:24.239 --> 0:44:28.320
<v Speaker 1>top of the mountain, but was an excellent coach without Patrick.

0:44:28.400 --> 0:44:32.080
<v Speaker 1>Now he had Donovan mcnabby, had Mike Vick. He had

0:44:32.239 --> 0:44:35.560
<v Speaker 1>good It's not like he had terrible quarterbacks. Obviously had

0:44:35.640 --> 0:44:40.120
<v Speaker 1>really really good quarterbacks. And so it's not an apples

0:44:40.120 --> 0:44:43.040
<v Speaker 1>to apples comp I'm not acting like it is. But

0:44:44.360 --> 0:44:48.600
<v Speaker 1>and nobody cares about, like where did Vince Lombardi see

0:44:48.640 --> 0:44:51.120
<v Speaker 1>you know how I know nobody cares. I don't even remember,

0:44:51.760 --> 0:44:56.000
<v Speaker 1>like Vince Lombardi, did he finish with the Saints? The

0:44:58.000 --> 0:45:02.560
<v Speaker 1>oh no, Washington, Washington for a year? Like people don't

0:45:02.640 --> 0:45:07.520
<v Speaker 1>tend to care about, you know, the final chapter of

0:45:07.600 --> 0:45:10.760
<v Speaker 1>an all time legend if it even if it doesn't

0:45:10.800 --> 0:45:16.440
<v Speaker 1>go well. But this has gone so horrifically, Like nobody

0:45:16.640 --> 0:45:22.440
<v Speaker 1>does the audience remember what Bill Parcell's final stop was,

0:45:24.400 --> 0:45:30.120
<v Speaker 1>and it was the Dolphins. But he wasn't the head coach.

0:45:30.200 --> 0:45:33.480
<v Speaker 1>He was the you know, basically the guy in charge

0:45:33.480 --> 0:45:39.520
<v Speaker 1>of everything, and so people don't people don't typically hold

0:45:39.600 --> 0:45:43.319
<v Speaker 1>that stuff against you. But this is such a train

0:45:43.400 --> 0:45:47.960
<v Speaker 1>wreck that and I, by the way, I believe Ali Connolly.

0:45:48.560 --> 0:45:50.839
<v Speaker 1>If Ali Connelly says this could happen in the next

0:45:50.920 --> 0:45:52.680
<v Speaker 1>couple of weeks, This could happen in the next couple

0:45:52.680 --> 0:45:56.799
<v Speaker 1>of weeks. And what I think is now locked and

0:45:56.840 --> 0:46:00.319
<v Speaker 1>why it's worth discussing, and then we'll move on. I

0:46:00.360 --> 0:46:02.480
<v Speaker 1>think it is. I think it is now minus one

0:46:02.560 --> 0:46:06.279
<v Speaker 1>thousand that Belichick is not the head coach of North

0:46:06.320 --> 0:46:10.520
<v Speaker 1>Carolina next year, which leads us to this, and then

0:46:10.520 --> 0:46:14.000
<v Speaker 1>I promise we will move on. I guess he's just

0:46:14.040 --> 0:46:20.360
<v Speaker 1>not gonna coach again, Like if the NFL was leary

0:46:20.440 --> 0:46:25.040
<v Speaker 1>of him after the Patriots stint, then I guess this

0:46:25.239 --> 0:46:29.799
<v Speaker 1>is just how it ends. What a crummy ending man.

0:46:31.400 --> 0:46:36.680
<v Speaker 3>And hey, if they just start winning.

0:46:36.400 --> 0:46:40.120
<v Speaker 1>Games, they're not good. I mean, I don't think they

0:46:40.200 --> 0:46:42.560
<v Speaker 1>recruited the right players. I don't think they And it

0:46:42.600 --> 0:46:45.719
<v Speaker 1>seems like there was an article on w r A

0:46:46.239 --> 0:46:50.360
<v Speaker 1>L Yeah, I think, which is like the A rally Raleigh,

0:46:50.760 --> 0:46:53.120
<v Speaker 1>the city in North Carolina? Is it Raleigh Rally? I'm

0:46:53.160 --> 0:46:58.319
<v Speaker 1>gonna pronounce it wrong, Raleigh, I think. But MANA used

0:46:58.360 --> 0:47:04.319
<v Speaker 1>to live there. That uh about the dysfunction and the

0:47:04.320 --> 0:47:08.600
<v Speaker 1>infighting amongst players. It's a bad situation man. By the way,

0:47:08.640 --> 0:47:11.280

0:48:12.920 --> 0:48:13.080
<v Speaker 5>Well?

0:48:13.120 --> 0:48:15.800
<v Speaker 1>It would feel like it makes up for giving away

0:48:15.840 --> 0:48:21.160
<v Speaker 1>the game to the Jags right that after that Ravens

0:48:21.239 --> 0:48:25.520
<v Speaker 1>game when they steadied themselves. If you had said the

0:48:25.600 --> 0:48:28.399
<v Speaker 1>Chiefs are gonna be three and three getting Rashi Rice back,

0:48:28.440 --> 0:48:31.600
<v Speaker 1>you just said, okay, like that now, the assumption would

0:48:31.600 --> 0:48:34.279
<v Speaker 1>have been they win at Jacksonville and lose at home

0:48:34.360 --> 0:48:37.680
<v Speaker 1>to the Lions. I thought they could win both those games.

0:48:38.239 --> 0:48:40.839
<v Speaker 1>They obviously, you know, could have won the Jags game.

0:48:40.880 --> 0:48:42.560
<v Speaker 1>We spent a lot of time on it on Tuesday.

0:48:42.600 --> 0:48:46.640
<v Speaker 1>We don't have to rehash it. They they they didn't

0:48:46.680 --> 0:48:50.160
<v Speaker 1>do it. I am going to spend a lot of

0:48:50.239 --> 0:48:54.960
<v Speaker 1>time on this game during our pick show because the

0:48:55.040 --> 0:48:58.960
<v Speaker 1>line is interesting. Of all the games where you thought

0:48:59.440 --> 0:49:03.000
<v Speaker 1>the Chiefs might be home dogs, this would have been

0:49:03.239 --> 0:49:06.920
<v Speaker 1>high on the list, and they're not. The Lions are

0:49:06.920 --> 0:49:11.359
<v Speaker 1>the hottest team in the league, and the Chiefs are

0:49:11.360 --> 0:49:17.880
<v Speaker 1>coming off of many meltdown against Jacksonville, and the Chiefs

0:49:17.880 --> 0:49:22.279
<v Speaker 1>are still the favorites. This is what I'll say. Being

0:49:22.400 --> 0:49:27.000
<v Speaker 1>two and four through six weeks not a death knell,

0:49:28.080 --> 0:49:31.960
<v Speaker 1>but not great. So how badly do they need it?

0:49:32.000 --> 0:49:36.840
<v Speaker 1>They need it, and I also think they they have

0:49:37.000 --> 0:49:42.319
<v Speaker 1>played so many high leverage playoff games that you don't

0:49:42.520 --> 0:49:46.840
<v Speaker 1>want to be playing a ton of high leverage regular

0:49:46.960 --> 0:49:49.440
<v Speaker 1>season games leading into the playoffs.

0:49:50.200 --> 0:49:55.360
<v Speaker 3>And so the do you think the NonStop primetime games

0:49:55.360 --> 0:49:56.680
<v Speaker 3>ever wavel on Kansas City?

0:49:57.640 --> 0:50:00.400
<v Speaker 1>Well, listen, yeah, I think. I think the the fact

0:50:00.400 --> 0:50:03.080
<v Speaker 1>that they are the premieer. I don't care what their

0:50:03.080 --> 0:50:05.359
<v Speaker 1>record is. I don't care honestly that the Eagles won

0:50:05.400 --> 0:50:08.440
<v Speaker 1>the Super Bowl. The Chiefs are the premier team in

0:50:08.480 --> 0:50:13.000
<v Speaker 1>the league, and because of that, for five years or

0:50:13.320 --> 0:50:18.600
<v Speaker 1>six years now, they get everyone's best shot every single

0:50:18.640 --> 0:50:24.000
<v Speaker 1>week they and they play. They're under the spotlight more

0:50:24.040 --> 0:50:27.160
<v Speaker 1>than any other team. They have the you know, like

0:50:27.239 --> 0:50:32.000
<v Speaker 1>you said, prime time pressure, all of it, more than

0:50:32.040 --> 0:50:34.799
<v Speaker 1>every other team. And I think they have dealt with

0:50:34.880 --> 0:50:37.759
<v Speaker 1>it as well as any team in the history of

0:50:37.800 --> 0:50:42.040
<v Speaker 1>the league since you know, other than Brady's Pats, to

0:50:42.120 --> 0:50:44.719
<v Speaker 1>be totally fair, and they felt with it to me

0:50:44.760 --> 0:50:50.000
<v Speaker 1>as well as Brady's Pats. But they're not typically in

0:50:50.040 --> 0:50:54.080
<v Speaker 1>this position of a slow start. Now. The last time

0:50:54.120 --> 0:50:56.879
<v Speaker 1>they lost the Super Bowl, and I've said this many times,

0:50:56.880 --> 0:51:00.000
<v Speaker 1>will say it again, they started that year three and four,

0:51:01.080 --> 0:51:04.120
<v Speaker 1>and if they lose this game, they're gonna start this

0:51:04.239 --> 0:51:07.319
<v Speaker 1>year three and four. And you might say, well, they

0:51:07.320 --> 0:51:09.320
<v Speaker 1>could start two and five their next games against the

0:51:09.400 --> 0:51:13.080
<v Speaker 1>Raiders and after that, so that they should be fine

0:51:13.120 --> 0:51:20.120
<v Speaker 1>on that front. But I I this is a huge

0:51:20.120 --> 0:51:22.839
<v Speaker 1>spot and we'll talk about it more on Friday show.

0:51:23.719 --> 0:51:25.560
<v Speaker 1>I know you have a couple quick follow ups on it.

0:51:25.600 --> 0:51:25.799
<v Speaker 2>Though.

0:51:26.120 --> 0:51:29.320
<v Speaker 3>Mahomes and Golf have gotten into a legendary shootout against

0:51:29.320 --> 0:51:32.000
<v Speaker 3>each other before, what are you expecting in this one.

0:51:32.880 --> 0:51:35.120
<v Speaker 1>I think it's gonna I think shootout is what it's

0:51:35.120 --> 0:51:39.000
<v Speaker 1>gonna be. I think, And also Golf, I believe is

0:51:39.080 --> 0:51:42.640
<v Speaker 1>one of the only act that maybe the only active

0:51:42.680 --> 0:51:45.759
<v Speaker 1>starting quarterback that Patrick's played more than once that he's

0:51:45.800 --> 0:51:48.840
<v Speaker 1>never beaten. I think he's zero to two against Golf

0:51:49.280 --> 0:51:55.279
<v Speaker 1>the fifty four fifty one Classic on Monday Night six

0:51:55.400 --> 0:51:59.719
<v Speaker 1>seven years ago and we see one over. Yeah, I

0:51:59.760 --> 0:52:03.239
<v Speaker 1>think those are the only two times they've played. And so,

0:52:04.040 --> 0:52:07.640
<v Speaker 1>oh that's pretty That's an interesting little wrinkle to it.

0:52:08.000 --> 0:52:10.080
<v Speaker 1>The bruises can tell me if I'm wrong on that,

0:52:10.480 --> 0:52:12.600
<v Speaker 1>But I think that's and that might be hard to

0:52:12.640 --> 0:52:17.160
<v Speaker 1>look up in real time, and but I think that's

0:52:17.200 --> 0:52:17.560
<v Speaker 1>the case.

0:52:17.600 --> 0:52:20.400
<v Speaker 3>Go ahead, Uh, Golf, we know is a different quarterback

0:52:20.400 --> 0:52:22.799
<v Speaker 3>when he's under pressure. Are you expecting a crazy game

0:52:22.800 --> 0:52:25.080
<v Speaker 3>from Chris Jones or what are you expecting from Chris Jones?

0:52:25.160 --> 0:52:29.080
<v Speaker 1>Listen, I think Chris. You know, Chris has to bounce back.

0:52:29.080 --> 0:52:30.560
<v Speaker 1>It's a tough moment for him at the end of

0:52:30.560 --> 0:52:32.200
<v Speaker 1>that game. I'm not going to overreact to it was

0:52:32.239 --> 0:52:32.880
<v Speaker 1>a tough moment.

0:52:33.640 --> 0:52:34.040
<v Speaker 5>Uh.

0:52:34.080 --> 0:52:37.680
<v Speaker 1>And you know Patrick had a bad moment with the

0:52:37.680 --> 0:52:40.120
<v Speaker 1>Big six, Chris had a bad moment with the play

0:52:40.280 --> 0:52:43.759
<v Speaker 1>when Trevor fell down. And so you need your first

0:52:43.760 --> 0:52:46.799
<v Speaker 1>ballot Hall of Fame guys to respond and I and

0:52:46.840 --> 0:52:48.640
<v Speaker 1>I expect they will all right, next game.

0:52:49.280 --> 0:52:51.279
<v Speaker 3>All right, so it looks like we got Mac Jones again.

0:52:51.400 --> 0:52:54.520
<v Speaker 3>Party's still dealing with that turf toe. You said there's

0:52:54.520 --> 0:52:58.040
<v Speaker 3>no quarterback controversy in San Francisco, but if Mac Jones

0:52:58.120 --> 0:53:00.759
<v Speaker 3>kid managed to pull this one off again, it's Tampa Bay.

0:53:02.600 --> 0:53:05.880
<v Speaker 1>I don't think there will be a controversy in the building.

0:53:06.600 --> 0:53:10.760
<v Speaker 1>I don't think Shanahan is going to, you know, consider

0:53:10.880 --> 0:53:14.359
<v Speaker 1>not playing Brock when he's healthy. But I do think

0:53:14.400 --> 0:53:17.359
<v Speaker 1>there will be a lot of noise surrounding it. And

0:53:17.440 --> 0:53:21.319
<v Speaker 1>I also think the better Mac plays and the better

0:53:21.400 --> 0:53:25.600
<v Speaker 1>the team plays, the more cautious they'll be with Perty's

0:53:25.640 --> 0:53:29.680
<v Speaker 1>injury that we're now told could linger all year. And

0:53:29.719 --> 0:53:32.800
<v Speaker 1>I do think because of the injury, if Purdy comes

0:53:32.880 --> 0:53:39.000
<v Speaker 1>back and plays really poorly, I think that there are

0:53:40.800 --> 0:53:44.520
<v Speaker 1>they have an out to go back to Mac Jones

0:53:44.560 --> 0:53:47.279
<v Speaker 1>without being like we benched Brock, to be like, no,

0:53:47.440 --> 0:53:51.880
<v Speaker 1>he's not healthy, and listen, I think Shanahan will just

0:53:52.160 --> 0:53:55.680
<v Speaker 1>They drafted a kid third overall and before he had

0:53:55.760 --> 0:53:58.880
<v Speaker 1>barely played, they were like, no, we're going with Purty.

0:53:59.320 --> 0:54:02.800
<v Speaker 1>They you know they are not he He is willing

0:54:03.200 --> 0:54:07.560
<v Speaker 1>to simply play whoever he thinks that season. Those games

0:54:07.560 --> 0:54:10.080
<v Speaker 1>give him the best chance. And I've been skeptical of

0:54:10.120 --> 0:54:12.440
<v Speaker 1>the Niners, but you have to give him credit for

0:54:12.520 --> 0:54:16.600
<v Speaker 1>being four and one, dealing with all these injuries, and

0:54:16.760 --> 0:54:21.640
<v Speaker 1>you know some Kittle will be back. The other receivers

0:54:22.200 --> 0:54:24.120
<v Speaker 1>you know will be back. I don't know how much

0:54:24.160 --> 0:54:27.560
<v Speaker 1>to expect for MAYUK, but they're a dangerous team at

0:54:27.560 --> 0:54:30.479
<v Speaker 1>this point. And San Francisco Tampa is just an awesome game.

0:54:30.760 --> 0:54:32.080
<v Speaker 1>It's one of the games of the weekend.
