Let's start 19 00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:03,639 Speaker 1: with Chicago and Houston. So, first of all, the Texans 20 00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:06,680 Speaker 1: had seven sacks, most in the NFL this year, and 21 00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:09,679 Speaker 1: eleven quarterback hits. That's the most this week in the NFL. 22 00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:12,560 Speaker 1: So Caleb Williams didn't have much of a chance now 23 00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:14,640 Speaker 1: he had two picks, would have had a third, but 24 00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:18,120 Speaker 1: a penalty let him off the hook. All these young 25 00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:23,319 Speaker 1: quarterbacks are struggling. Bo Nix is struggling, Caleb's struggling. You know, 26 00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:26,120 Speaker 1: Michael Pennix is a lucky one. He's not playing. Don't 27 00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:29,120 Speaker 1: forget Lamar Jackson got eleven weeks or ten weeks to 28 00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:32,520 Speaker 1: watch Joe Flacko play in Baltimore, and Mahomes got sixteen 29 00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:36,319 Speaker 1: or fifteen weeks to watch Alex Smith play. It's really hard, 30 00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:39,399 Speaker 1: and the Texans may hit harder than every team in 31 00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:40,840 Speaker 1: the league. They're at home. 32 00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:43,119 Speaker 2: Not much of. 33 00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:46,240 Speaker 1: A dynamic run game for the Bears, so it's all 34 00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:50,320 Speaker 1: on Kleb Williams's feet, legs, Houdini act. 35 00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:51,440 Speaker 2: You know his timing. 36 00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:54,440 Speaker 1: DJ Moore got very frustrated with him in the fourth 37 00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:57,000 Speaker 1: quarter with a couple of minutes left. But I mean, 38 00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:59,000 Speaker 1: what am I supposed to take from this? Houston's a 39 00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:02,440 Speaker 1: better team, a better roster. At home Sunday Night football, 40 00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:05,240 Speaker 1: c J. Stroud had more time to throw the first half. 41 00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:07,520 Speaker 1: C J. Strowd threw for one hundred and seventy three 42 00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:10,960 Speaker 1: yards in a touchdown and was mostly very very comfortable 43 00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:13,160 Speaker 1: and he's got more good weapons. Now I do like 44 00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:16,400 Speaker 1: DJ Moore, but Roma Dunze is a kid, he's a rookie, 45 00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:20,160 Speaker 1: and Keenan Allen's hurt. Everything was in Houston's favor. I'm 46 00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:22,320 Speaker 1: you know, if not for the fumble, they w a 47 00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:26,079 Speaker 1: won by two touchdowns. So I didn't think it was 48 00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:28,480 Speaker 1: going to be a competitive game, and the Bears made 49 00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:32,480 Speaker 1: it competitive. I thought they played some really good defensive football. 50 00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:35,480 Speaker 1: But this is I mean, c J. Stroud's better, the 51 00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:37,640 Speaker 1: team's better, the rosters better, they're at home, the coach 52 00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:41,119 Speaker 1: is probably better. I will say this about Caleb Williams. 53 00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:44,840 Speaker 1: First of all, the Bears offense doesn't have much of 54 00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:47,560 Speaker 1: an identity, and it doesn't have an identity because Caleb 55 00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:50,040 Speaker 1: Bright now is running for his life and he's trying 56 00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:53,919 Speaker 1: to figure the league out. So, you know, the good 57 00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:55,959 Speaker 1: teams in this league you sort of know what they 58 00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:58,320 Speaker 1: are on both sides of the ball, but especially on offense, 59 00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:00,960 Speaker 1: they have, you know, a sense of what they are are. 60 00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:05,400 Speaker 1: Chicago doesn't have that, By the way, Houston does. You know, 61 00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:08,840 Speaker 1: we're in week two, heading into week three. Houston does 62 00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:11,720 Speaker 1: have an identity. One of the more accurate passers in 63 00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:15,800 Speaker 1: the league, multiple threats. Nico Collins is they compared him 64 00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:17,240 Speaker 1: to Andre Johnson earlier in the game. 65 00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:19,000 Speaker 2: I don't know if he's that good, but a. 66 00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:23,520 Speaker 1: Big targets Joe Mixon, speed targets good tight ends. I mean, 67 00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:28,160 Speaker 1: the Houston Texans, there's an argument that's the second best 68 00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:32,400 Speaker 1: team in the league. I mean, really, CJ. Stroud's comp 69 00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:34,600 Speaker 1: coming into the NFL was Jared Goff, and I remember 70 00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:36,920 Speaker 1: saying that's a fair comp. I think he runs a 71 00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:42,120 Speaker 1: little better, but he is kid's dynamite. He is effortlessly accurate, 72 00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:47,920 Speaker 1: deep ball, intermediates, flat everything. He's really special, and so 73 00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:53,000 Speaker 1: I think the Houston Texans are completely legitimate Super Bowl team. Again, 74 00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:56,840 Speaker 1: if not for a fumble, this would have been over earlier. 75 00:03:57,320 --> 00:03:59,080 Speaker 1: The Bears, you just got to be patient. You just 76 00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:00,840 Speaker 1: got to give him time. I mean, they got a 77 00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:03,440 Speaker 1: gift win in Week one. They were out played by Tennessee. 78 00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:06,440 Speaker 1: So you're one in one. You take a deep breath. 79 00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:09,680 Speaker 1: Caleb Williams took a beating to night between the sacks 80 00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:12,440 Speaker 1: and the hits, and he got popped on the sideline. 81 00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:15,760 Speaker 1: Bear fans wanted to flag. If not for that, for 82 00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:18,280 Speaker 1: the punch by the Texans. But you know, it's a 83 00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:21,240 Speaker 1: big stadium, there's layers, You're not going to see everything. 84 00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:23,840 Speaker 1: I just think you have to protect him better. I 85 00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:25,479 Speaker 1: don't think I've seen a quarterback take that kind of 86 00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:27,880 Speaker 1: beating all year. In fact, I haven't. I'm not sure 87 00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:31,480 Speaker 1: the second worst quarterback beating I've seen, but that was 88 00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:34,720 Speaker 1: that was Ross tonight, you know. And some of it is, 89 00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:37,600 Speaker 1: you know, he's trying to extend plays, which you know, 90 00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:39,960 Speaker 1: I saw Justin Herbert get banged up a little doing that. 91 00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:42,360 Speaker 2: I saw Joe Burrow fumble today doing that. 92 00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:46,200 Speaker 1: You know. But these are pro athletes, they're gamers, they're 93 00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:50,680 Speaker 1: you know, there's a shortage of great offensive linemen, especially tackles. 94 00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:51,200 Speaker 2: In the NFL. 95 00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:53,479 Speaker 1: Everybody's got a good edge rusher. Every team, it feels like, 96 00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:57,120 Speaker 1: has a good edge rusher or two. There's maybe six 97 00:04:57,160 --> 00:05:00,560 Speaker 1: great left tackles in football, maybe maybe four to six 98 00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:03,880 Speaker 1: good right tackles. So it's an issue, and the quarterbacks 99 00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:07,640 Speaker 1: take the beating for it. So I wouldn't get too 100 00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:09,680 Speaker 1: freaked out. I mean, the Bears were picked for third 101 00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:12,080 Speaker 1: or fourth place. It's funny right now Minnesota is two 102 00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:14,760 Speaker 1: and oh everybody else in their division is one and one, 103 00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:19,039 Speaker 1: So the entire NFC North except for Minnesota, has a loss. 104 00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:21,640 Speaker 1: How about Sammy Darnold. We'll talk about that with John Middlecoff. 105 00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:25,880 Speaker 1: And you know, the Houston Texans are two and oh 106 00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:29,520 Speaker 1: and everybody else in their division is oh and two, 107 00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:34,880 Speaker 1: so they pulled away. But you know, my big takeaway 108 00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:38,360 Speaker 1: tonight is simply the better team at home, the better quarterback, 109 00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:43,080 Speaker 1: probably the better coach, the better roster one. And I 110 00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:46,320 Speaker 1: can't beat up on Kayleb Williams too much. Bow Nick's 111 00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:49,520 Speaker 1: had a rough day. I thought Jade Daniels for Washington, 112 00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:55,560 Speaker 1: he's really really electric. His comp coming in was Lamar Jackson. 113 00:05:55,560 --> 00:06:00,600 Speaker 1: He's not that fast, but he's he's special. And again 114 00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:03,880 Speaker 1: JJ McCarthy will sit due to injury, and Michael Pennix 115 00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:06,480 Speaker 1: will sit for at least another week. 116 00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:07,240 Speaker 2: I don't know. 117 00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:11,919 Speaker 1: We'll watch the Eagles and Falcons tomorrow. But the Houston 118 00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:15,040 Speaker 1: Texans struggled with protection in the first half. They were 119 00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:17,720 Speaker 1: struggling to protect CJ. Stroud. That said, he still too 120 00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:21,719 Speaker 1: for about one hundred and seventy five yards. But it 121 00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:24,760 Speaker 1: is remarkable to turnaround. I'm trying to think the last 122 00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:28,400 Speaker 1: time there was an NFL franchise that was a laughing stock. 123 00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:32,120 Speaker 1: The following year they made the playoffs, and then the 124 00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:34,960 Speaker 1: year after that they may be the second best team 125 00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:39,920 Speaker 1: in the league. I mean they hit on everything GM coach, quarterback, 126 00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:42,320 Speaker 1: offensive coordinator, and multiple draft picks. 127 00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:43,120 Speaker 2: They hit on everything. 128 00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:47,839 Speaker 1: It's still not a strong ownership group, but Houston's always 129 00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:51,880 Speaker 1: had money. It's a big city, and you know, they've 130 00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:55,520 Speaker 1: got money to spend, and they did on Stefan Diggs 131 00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:58,400 Speaker 1: and Joe Mixon. So they just have everything. I mean, 132 00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:01,000 Speaker 1: they've got everything. The coach, the corps, nators, the quarterback, 133 00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:04,880 Speaker 1: the left tackle, a run game, multiple weapons, a decent 134 00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:08,039 Speaker 1: pass rush. I mean, tonight's pas rush was insane. You know, 135 00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:10,720 Speaker 1: let's be honest. This is what makes the NFL king. 136 00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:13,800 Speaker 1: Today was one of the craziest days I can ever remember. 137 00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:15,840 Speaker 1: Now Week three, if you go to the early window, 138 00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:21,520 Speaker 1: it's not great. This was an all timer early window day, 139 00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:26,120 Speaker 1: but I mean it's a crazy, crazy day. Mcvay's oh 140 00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:30,080 Speaker 1: and two John Harbaughs oh and two, Joe Burrows oh 141 00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:35,520 Speaker 1: and two. San Francisco got hammered today. That scores not indicative. 142 00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:37,960 Speaker 1: They got pushed all over the field. They were lucky. 143 00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:41,520 Speaker 1: It was that close. So and tonight I think Chicago's lucky. 144 00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:42,120 Speaker 3: It was that close. 145 00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:43,720 Speaker 1: I mean, if you want to, if you really want 146 00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:46,520 Speaker 1: to say something about Caleb Williams, he kept fighting. This 147 00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:48,520 Speaker 1: should have been a three touchdown game. It felt like, 148 00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:51,720 Speaker 1: I mean, how many quarterbacks. I mean, it was like 149 00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:56,560 Speaker 1: one of one beating in the NFL this year. I mean, 150 00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:59,720 Speaker 1: I know guys are sore on on Monday. I wouldn't 151 00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:02,480 Speaker 1: want to be Caleb Williams. You want to get in 152 00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:06,560 Speaker 1: that ice tub really quickly tomorrow. But for all of 153 00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:11,040 Speaker 1: Caleb williams elusiveness, the Bears only average three point three 154 00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:15,120 Speaker 1: yards of play. So, I mean, he's pretty magical athlete. 155 00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:19,880 Speaker 1: But I don't think the offensive line protection has been optimal. 156 00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:23,520 Speaker 1: And I also think Tom Brady's talked about this. I 157 00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:27,040 Speaker 1: think it comes in stages. Quarterbacking in the NFL comes 158 00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:31,320 Speaker 1: in stages. You know, the first year it's the learning curve, 159 00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:37,200 Speaker 1: it's surviving. Year two it's growth. You know, the light 160 00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:40,400 Speaker 1: tends to come on. Second year at some point Thanksgiving, 161 00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:44,480 Speaker 1: Christmas somewhere around there, and then the third year you're 162 00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:48,280 Speaker 1: off and running. I think they're really good quarterbacks by 163 00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:51,080 Speaker 1: year two can audible their way out of some of 164 00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:55,040 Speaker 1: the pressures. You know, and I've said this, it's such 165 00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:58,880 Speaker 1: an advantage, you know, either having a strong offensive coordinator. 166 00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:02,480 Speaker 1: Jayden d Annials I think does in Washington he looked 167 00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:05,360 Speaker 1: better today and c J. 168 00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:06,280 Speaker 2: Stroud did. 169 00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:10,000 Speaker 1: I mean, look at Malik Willis today with Green Bay 170 00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:12,679 Speaker 1: and Matt Lafleur and that offensive staff. That was the 171 00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:16,000 Speaker 1: best Malik Willis has ever looked. So as Shane Walder 172 00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:18,640 Speaker 1: and the guy for Caleb Williams. The Bears have always 173 00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:23,280 Speaker 1: had a defensive culture. It's I mean, the best thing 174 00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:26,440 Speaker 1: you can say is that Caleb Williams a big, strong 175 00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:29,320 Speaker 1: kid who moves well, and they're one on one. But 176 00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:33,880 Speaker 1: I mean, they have a long way to go. In Chicago, 177 00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:37,920 Speaker 1: there was all sorts of pre snap penalties and in 178 00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:40,760 Speaker 1: the first half they just they just don't look tight. 179 00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:43,360 Speaker 1: And there were also a couple of plays, a couple 180 00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:45,800 Speaker 1: of throws by Kayleb Williams that are simply not going 181 00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:49,000 Speaker 1: to work in pro football, a couple of lollipop throws. 182 00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:51,760 Speaker 1: One of the lollipop throws, I think it was first half, 183 00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:53,920 Speaker 1: got picked. It may have an early second half first half, 184 00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:56,920 Speaker 1: got picked and a penalty against. 185 00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:57,520 Speaker 2: Houston and gated it. 186 00:09:57,520 --> 00:09:58,920 Speaker 1: But it was just a throw you can't make in 187 00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:05,000 Speaker 1: the NFL. You know, when you're so gifted, you get 188 00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:07,200 Speaker 1: away with so much in high school, in college that 189 00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:10,080 Speaker 1: you just can't in the NFL. And I think Caleb's 190 00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:13,200 Speaker 1: still trying to figure out what I can't do. Like 191 00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:15,559 Speaker 1: he's not sliding. He did a couple of times late 192 00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:17,319 Speaker 1: in the second half. He did a good job scrambling 193 00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:20,840 Speaker 1: and sliding, but he got popped on the sideline. That 194 00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:24,360 Speaker 1: was the punch moment. You can't take that hit, dude. 195 00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:27,440 Speaker 1: You got to get down, slide, do something. You can't 196 00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:30,200 Speaker 1: take that hit. So I think he's still trying to 197 00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:32,760 Speaker 1: figure out. Caleb is what he can get away with 198 00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:36,679 Speaker 1: in the NFL, And tonight not much of anything. All Right, 199 00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:39,480 Speaker 1: We're going to have a lively one here on Sunday. 200 00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:43,480 Speaker 1: John middlecoff Our Week two reaction, presented by Uber Eats 201 00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:47,000 Speaker 1: get almost almost anything for game day. Former NFL scout 202 00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:51,079 Speaker 1: John Middlecoff, As we start today, Let's start Kansas City Cincinnati. 203 00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:52,280 Speaker 2: You know it's funny. 204 00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:56,439 Speaker 1: I've argued this forever that Bill Parcells used to ride 205 00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:59,120 Speaker 1: Phil Simms, Phil throw it down the field. Okay, I'm 206 00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:02,000 Speaker 1: not interested in you know, one interception. 207 00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:02,680 Speaker 2: No picks. 208 00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:06,600 Speaker 1: You know today Mahomes has two ugly picks, almost had three, 209 00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:10,400 Speaker 1: Borough has none, and Kansas City wins. And by the way, 210 00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:12,360 Speaker 1: in this opener against Baltimore, it was one of the 211 00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:16,520 Speaker 1: ugliest picks not named will Levis Mahomes against Baltimore. And 212 00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:19,480 Speaker 1: it's funny about Kansas City is that, you know, we 213 00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:23,839 Speaker 1: we think of Kansas City as so efficient, but they 214 00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:27,160 Speaker 1: make a lot of mistakes. John, They are vulnerable. They 215 00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:30,360 Speaker 1: give you opportunities, but they're always usually good starting a 216 00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:32,719 Speaker 1: game and finishing. In the middle of it, it can 217 00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:36,120 Speaker 1: get choppy, but once again late like against Baltimore, they 218 00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:39,079 Speaker 1: finished Cincinnati off. I felt terrible for Cincinnati in a 219 00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:42,840 Speaker 1: way because at one point in this game, they put 220 00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:45,840 Speaker 1: up a graphic that the last six matchup between these 221 00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:48,280 Speaker 1: two teams Bengals Chiefs, they'd eat scored one hundred and 222 00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:48,920 Speaker 1: fifty points. 223 00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:50,200 Speaker 2: Like it is so even. 224 00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:53,640 Speaker 1: But I guess my takeaway is Cincinnati can go toe 225 00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:57,240 Speaker 1: to toe with Kansas City forever. But Kansas City has 226 00:11:57,240 --> 00:12:00,440 Speaker 1: this ability to start and end quickly, and they're a 227 00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:03,800 Speaker 1: flawed team right like they're I mean, when I watch them, 228 00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:06,120 Speaker 1: I think, God, they give you opportunities, don't they. 229 00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:10,280 Speaker 3: Well, I mean, big picture, I don't know how Kansas City, 230 00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:13,480 Speaker 3: after winning back to back Super Bowls can take these 231 00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:16,240 Speaker 3: type games week in and week out without eventually run 232 00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:19,240 Speaker 3: out of juice. I mean, that felt like a playoff game, 233 00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:22,800 Speaker 3: didn't it. The intensity, the physicality that that was I 234 00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:25,679 Speaker 3: had because the Arizona LA game ended so fast. I 235 00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:27,480 Speaker 3: mean I think it was over five minutes into the game. 236 00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:30,920 Speaker 3: The Steelers versus the Broncos on one TV and the Chiefs, 237 00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:34,200 Speaker 3: it was like two different sports being played in those 238 00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:37,640 Speaker 3: two games. I do think, for whatever reason, that graphic 239 00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:41,840 Speaker 3: kind of illustrated it. Cincinnati plays this team better than anyone. 240 00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:43,920 Speaker 3: I mean, they've beat him in the playoffs. They went 241 00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:45,480 Speaker 3: toe to toe with him a couple of years ago, 242 00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:48,200 Speaker 3: easily could have beat him again in the playoffs. Probably, 243 00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:50,199 Speaker 3: you know they're gonna be kicking themselves. Should have won 244 00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:52,920 Speaker 3: this game. I hate to see the game decided on 245 00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:56,760 Speaker 3: a late penalty, Yeah, but it is what it is. 246 00:12:57,400 --> 00:13:00,040 Speaker 3: I just think at the end of the day, the 247 00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:03,440 Speaker 3: Chiefs culture completely flipped when they traded Tyreek Hill and 248 00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:06,720 Speaker 3: they have this physical kind of I mean, they're a 249 00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:09,920 Speaker 3: defensive team. I mean, Spac Doola is just brilliant. They 250 00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:12,680 Speaker 3: are going through some growing pains starting a rookie left hack. Yeah, 251 00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:15,240 Speaker 3: I mean, because so many teams now you just watch 252 00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:17,840 Speaker 3: around the NFL, even the bad teams have pass rushers 253 00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:20,079 Speaker 3: and they move him around. They're gonna put him over 254 00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:23,280 Speaker 3: that kid every single week. And Mahomes, luckily, he's a 255 00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:28,120 Speaker 3: great scrambler. You know, Kelsey looks his age, he's no 256 00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:30,320 Speaker 3: longer and he's kind of saving himself for the end 257 00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:32,280 Speaker 3: of the season. And they did that again last year. 258 00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:35,199 Speaker 3: But god, he's no longer. I would say the week in, 259 00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:36,840 Speaker 3: week out dominant player. 260 00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:37,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's funny. 261 00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:40,280 Speaker 1: I wrote down four plays three plays in this game 262 00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:42,840 Speaker 1: because I started. Really it was a close game, so 263 00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:44,720 Speaker 1: I'm like, I'm gonna write down the big plays. 264 00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:45,559 Speaker 2: In the fourth quarter. 265 00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:51,600 Speaker 1: Mahomes to Kelsey, huge gainer, third and six, trailing twenty five, 266 00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:56,160 Speaker 1: twenty three, Kansas City gets that spags blitz sack, late 267 00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:59,120 Speaker 1: flag on Cincinnati. The three big plays to me, all 268 00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:02,079 Speaker 1: went in Kansas City favor. They remind me a little 269 00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:05,679 Speaker 1: bit like an old KG boxer, like Sugar Ray Leonard 270 00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:07,960 Speaker 1: out of his prime. They win the end of the round. 271 00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:11,560 Speaker 1: Like you get shots at him, you may knock them down. 272 00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:15,240 Speaker 1: It's not always aesthetically pleasing, but they kind of figure 273 00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:17,960 Speaker 1: out how to manipulate the judges, manipulate the game. You 274 00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:20,400 Speaker 1: see this in the NBA with old teams. They did 275 00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:22,560 Speaker 1: just have a way of figuring out how to play 276 00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:25,960 Speaker 1: the game late. There there's an art to football at 277 00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:28,240 Speaker 1: the end of a game and using your timeouts and 278 00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:31,880 Speaker 1: field position that the Chiefs do not give you a 279 00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:34,600 Speaker 1: ten on out of ten performance, boy, but in the 280 00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:37,960 Speaker 1: big moments, John, that's where Kelsey's last year in the playoffs, 281 00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:41,480 Speaker 1: he was huge in the red zone, huge on third 282 00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:43,320 Speaker 1: or fourth down. And I think that's what they are. 283 00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:46,440 Speaker 1: They they they as they go through growing pains, they're 284 00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:48,720 Speaker 1: still the great closing team in this sport. 285 00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:52,400 Speaker 3: Well, they're not as phased as much as remember two 286 00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:54,720 Speaker 3: years ago Mahomes went through an awful stretch where he 287 00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:56,800 Speaker 3: had a bunch of turnovers and they were playing bad. 288 00:14:56,880 --> 00:14:59,400 Speaker 3: I think this was not last year, but two years ago, 289 00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:03,640 Speaker 3: and now they still have that happen. But their defense 290 00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:06,840 Speaker 3: is so good. Yeah, they're just such good open field tacklers. 291 00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:11,480 Speaker 3: I thought, also, you know, they don't mentally crack. They 292 00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:13,800 Speaker 3: ended up still kicking a field goal. But but Jamar 293 00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:15,800 Speaker 3: Chase freaking out about a hip drop. Bro, he grabbed 294 00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:17,800 Speaker 3: you by your shoulder pads and then he lets you down, 295 00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:20,560 Speaker 3: like relax. And Joe Burrow's known him forever as like 296 00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:23,000 Speaker 3: trying to come and he won't listen to anybody. And 297 00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:26,080 Speaker 3: that kind of ultimately wasn't the difference in the game. 298 00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:28,480 Speaker 3: But that doesn't happen to Kansas City. If anything, they 299 00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:30,200 Speaker 3: get the guy off the field. They're not giving up 300 00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:33,120 Speaker 3: fifteen free yards and let Andy or whoever yell at 301 00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:34,960 Speaker 3: each other. But they're not yelling at the ref. 302 00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:36,200 Speaker 2: And that's nope, that's right. 303 00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:39,480 Speaker 3: And that Jamar Chase, I mean besides Burrow and he 304 00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:41,160 Speaker 3: I mean, he's one of their best players, one of 305 00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:43,840 Speaker 3: the better players in the league. You cannot lose your 306 00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:47,320 Speaker 3: shit like that in that spot. It's really unacceptable. I 307 00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:48,600 Speaker 3: mean it really. Yeah. 308 00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:51,640 Speaker 1: I felt like Cincinnati sort of lost this game, not 309 00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:53,160 Speaker 1: that Kansas City didn't make plays. 310 00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:54,160 Speaker 2: They deserve it. 311 00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:56,480 Speaker 1: They're impossible to me to root against because I just 312 00:15:56,560 --> 00:15:59,600 Speaker 1: I really again, I liked old fighters and I liked 313 00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:01,320 Speaker 1: teams that are great in the clutch. There's a New 314 00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:04,120 Speaker 1: England quotient, Like you feel like sometimes do they have 315 00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:05,640 Speaker 1: the best players out here today? 316 00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:07,920 Speaker 3: Don't they feel like the Patriots the way they play now, 317 00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:10,840 Speaker 3: like that dynasty They didn't early on with Tyreek they 318 00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:11,080 Speaker 3: do not. 319 00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:11,440 Speaker 2: Yeah. 320 00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:13,880 Speaker 1: Like, at the bottom line is they're more physical, they 321 00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:16,520 Speaker 1: have a better coach, their quarterbacks better in crisis, and 322 00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:20,240 Speaker 1: they don't beat themselves now dramatically. They're much more fun 323 00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:23,600 Speaker 1: to watch, I think than New England was outside of 324 00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:26,720 Speaker 1: the Randy Moss years. Yeah, but it's very much best coach, 325 00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:31,200 Speaker 1: best quarterback, don't beat themselves a mother with two minutes 326 00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:34,200 Speaker 1: to go in the game, third downs, fourth downs, red zone. 327 00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:37,360 Speaker 1: They're just they're magic. And maybe that in the history 328 00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:39,240 Speaker 1: of football's always been the case with the best team. 329 00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:42,640 Speaker 1: But I thought Sincinnat Jamar Chase losing, they're cool giving 330 00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:47,000 Speaker 1: up the big sack, the pass interference late. You know again, 331 00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:50,640 Speaker 1: Casey deserved it. But Cincinnati in this spot, which Buffalo's 332 00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:53,240 Speaker 1: done against, this team, which Baltimore's done against, this team, 333 00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:53,920 Speaker 1: beat themselves. 334 00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:57,280 Speaker 3: This wouldn't be the end of the world for Cincinnati 335 00:16:57,840 --> 00:17:00,720 Speaker 3: to lose at Kansas City if they hadn't just blown 336 00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:03,400 Speaker 3: such an awful game. And I don't have I have 337 00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:05,560 Speaker 3: strong opinions on a lot of coaches. I'm kind of 338 00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:07,879 Speaker 3: indifferent on Zach Taylor. I don't know much about him. 339 00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:09,920 Speaker 3: I don't hear him talk that often. I don't hear 340 00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:13,520 Speaker 3: bad things about him. People like the guy. He clearly 341 00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:15,439 Speaker 3: has done a pretty good job over the course of 342 00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:19,680 Speaker 3: his career. But you watch this performance and you go, 343 00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:22,320 Speaker 3: you should win the division. But you find yourself, oh, 344 00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:25,000 Speaker 3: in two, they don't get up for games. They obviously 345 00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:27,960 Speaker 3: get up for Kansas City, But how do I take 346 00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:30,159 Speaker 3: you seriously when you lose it home to the Patriots? 347 00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:33,200 Speaker 3: So are you know? They probably should win ten to 348 00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:36,200 Speaker 3: eleven games if Burro's healthy. But you put yourself behind 349 00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:37,359 Speaker 3: the eight ball all of a sudden you might be 350 00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:38,480 Speaker 3: struggling to get a wild cards. 351 00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:41,000 Speaker 1: Well, the good news is ravens row and two and 352 00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:43,760 Speaker 1: the Steelers. Over the course of a season. You know, 353 00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:47,080 Speaker 1: the Steelers have faced Kirk Cousins and then bow Knicks. 354 00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:49,040 Speaker 1: I mean, bo Nix is a kid. I mean, they're 355 00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:50,360 Speaker 1: just there's nothing you can see. 356 00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:52,280 Speaker 3: He was bad today. He was bad, and I have 357 00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:54,760 Speaker 3: money on him to win offensive rookie, he was atrocious. 358 00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:02,359 Speaker 1: Now for a segment called making It Look Easy, brought 359 00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:05,920 Speaker 1: to you by Morgan and Morgan, America's largest injury law firm. Today, 360 00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:08,280 Speaker 1: Sam Darnold made it look easy. Two hundred and sixty 361 00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:11,480 Speaker 1: eight yards two tds ran around and win against his 362 00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:14,520 Speaker 1: former team, the Niners. Just like Sam made it look easy, 363 00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:17,359 Speaker 1: Morgan and Morgan makes it so easy to submit a claim. 364 00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:20,200 Speaker 1: They have over one hundred offices nationwide, more than eight 365 00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:23,960 Speaker 1: hundred lawyers with over fifteen billion dollars recovered from over 366 00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:26,960 Speaker 1: three hundred thousand clients. Morgan and Morgan has a proven 367 00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:29,600 Speaker 1: track record of fighting to get you full and fair compensation. 368 00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:32,479 Speaker 1: They've been fighting for the people for over thirty five years. 369 00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:38,399 Speaker 1: If you're ever injured, go to Fourthpeople dot com, slash Colin, 370 00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:43,080 Speaker 1: or dial pound five two nine to check out America's 371 00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:46,800 Speaker 1: largest injury law firm. Winning in the NFL is hard, 372 00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:55,280 Speaker 1: but hiring Morgan and Morgan is easy. Okay, I want 373 00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:58,399 Speaker 1: to talk Cowboys Saints, so we all know coaching matters, 374 00:18:59,040 --> 00:19:03,920 Speaker 1: but holy you give Derek Carr kubias kid, Gary Kubiak's 375 00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:07,200 Speaker 1: kid the coach the coordinator first of all, the motions, 376 00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:10,280 Speaker 1: the shifting, it's a totally different offense. I watched the 377 00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:13,760 Speaker 1: Jets Titans Nat Hackett's offense. I mean, Aaron's one of 378 00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:16,880 Speaker 1: the smarter guys in the league. Playing quarterback. Very little motion, 379 00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:21,320 Speaker 1: very remedial, doesn't really challenge Aaron intellectually. Now, I think 380 00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:23,960 Speaker 1: the Saints have more talent outside of quarterback. They got 381 00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:27,720 Speaker 1: more players. But I'm watching the Saints offense against Dallas, 382 00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:30,960 Speaker 1: and we can blame Dallas, but they are moving all. 383 00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:31,439 Speaker 2: Over the field. 384 00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:36,040 Speaker 1: Jesus, It's just it's amazing what happens when you have 385 00:19:36,119 --> 00:19:41,320 Speaker 1: a competent quarterback. I'm not asking for great baker Derek. 386 00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:45,440 Speaker 1: You protect him and you have a coordinator who can 387 00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:49,639 Speaker 1: change stuff up. And I'm watching the Saints today. They 388 00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:54,080 Speaker 1: average seven point seven yards a play. They were fifty 389 00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:57,240 Speaker 1: percent on third down. I mean, Derek Carr was only 390 00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:01,320 Speaker 1: what did I have here? Eleven of sixteen to the 391 00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:04,000 Speaker 1: never to the football. It was all motions, and it 392 00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:07,840 Speaker 1: was like, that's when I buy into a team, when 393 00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:11,159 Speaker 1: it's beyond it's not just that they're scoring. This coach, 394 00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:15,240 Speaker 1: this coordinator. It's a little like Detroit last year, though. 395 00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:15,840 Speaker 2: They're not as good. 396 00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:19,919 Speaker 1: At some point, they're just going to score points if 397 00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:22,080 Speaker 1: they play inside or in play in good weather. Your 398 00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:23,200 Speaker 1: thoughts on that game. 399 00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:26,119 Speaker 3: Well, the MVP race right now is Derek Carr, Sam Darnold, 400 00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:29,879 Speaker 3: and Baker Mayfield fighting it out, So I listen. I'm 401 00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:33,760 Speaker 3: probably dead wrong on the Broncos, but I pounded the 402 00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:36,640 Speaker 3: drum leading into the start of the season on the Saints. Yeah, 403 00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:38,359 Speaker 3: I liked him to win the division. I liked him 404 00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:40,240 Speaker 3: to make the playoffs. They went nine to eight last 405 00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:43,119 Speaker 3: year and for half the season their offense was atrocious. 406 00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:45,280 Speaker 3: They have a good defense. They have a really good 407 00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:48,439 Speaker 3: players the season. Yes, Dennis Allen, some of his stats 408 00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:51,680 Speaker 3: against the spread and stuff, I get it. But defensively, 409 00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:56,280 Speaker 3: everyone in the NFL sings his praises. He's good. Kubiak, 410 00:20:57,119 --> 00:21:00,240 Speaker 3: the Shanahans and Kubiak might as well be one family, right, 411 00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:04,160 Speaker 3: Gary played for Mike than Kyle worked for Gary. One 412 00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:06,920 Speaker 3: of the Kubiaks now works for Kyle. They're all one 413 00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:10,160 Speaker 3: in the same. That offense does two things well, makes 414 00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:14,320 Speaker 3: it easy on the quarterbacks and features the running back. Well, 415 00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:17,560 Speaker 3: no team has more invested in the running back room 416 00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:20,840 Speaker 3: than the Saints and Alvin Kamara is an excellent player, 417 00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:23,640 Speaker 3: and he's perfect for this scheme. Why he can he's 418 00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:26,240 Speaker 3: a good zone runner and he's an excellent pass catcher. 419 00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:28,400 Speaker 3: What does that offense like to do? Throw the ball 420 00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:29,120 Speaker 3: to the a lot? 421 00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:32,600 Speaker 1: Like why McCaffrey is so unbelievable with San Francisco, it's 422 00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:32,880 Speaker 1: the same. 423 00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:36,719 Speaker 3: They're very similar players. They were Christians a little more physical, 424 00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:39,399 Speaker 3: I would say between the tackles. But Alvin Kamara, when 425 00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:41,520 Speaker 3: he's right, is a Pro Bowl level guy, and today 426 00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:43,480 Speaker 3: he was. I would imagine he's the offensive player of 427 00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:45,840 Speaker 3: the week. I mean, I think he had seventeen touchdowns today. 428 00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:48,680 Speaker 3: But Kubiak, and you never know because when these guys 429 00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:51,120 Speaker 3: work for McVeigh, when they work for Sean Payton, when 430 00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:53,080 Speaker 3: they work for Kyle, they don't actually call the plays. 431 00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:56,040 Speaker 3: But like when you tell me, his name's Kubiak, so yeah, 432 00:21:56,200 --> 00:21:58,400 Speaker 3: I would imagine he's gonna know the offense pretty well. 433 00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:02,360 Speaker 3: He's been Brilliant's someone that covers the Saints today tweeted 434 00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:04,119 Speaker 3: like he might get a head coaching job before the 435 00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:07,720 Speaker 3: season's even over. I mean, he has been. Their defense 436 00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:09,720 Speaker 3: was awesome. The Cowboys didn't have a shot today and 437 00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:12,320 Speaker 3: Obviously Dak throws a couple bad picks, but that's just 438 00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:16,159 Speaker 3: they ran into a bus saw and when Derek, like 439 00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:20,119 Speaker 3: Derek has had a really no one dealt with more instability. 440 00:22:20,359 --> 00:22:22,480 Speaker 3: For the first nine years of his career, the team 441 00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:25,320 Speaker 3: literally moved, yet they stayed in a spot. They ran 442 00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:28,440 Speaker 3: through coaches, they had the Gruden situation. Derek has seen 443 00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:30,280 Speaker 3: a lot of shit and by the end of the 444 00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:33,880 Speaker 3: year last year he looked pretty good. And now the offense, 445 00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:36,920 Speaker 3: they have good wide receivers, they have a good running game. 446 00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:40,000 Speaker 3: They drafted uh, I think the tackle for Morgan State, 447 00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:43,280 Speaker 3: who literally could play all five positions. So they're just 448 00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:46,920 Speaker 3: right now they are to me, the Bucks are good too. 449 00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:49,520 Speaker 3: Like that division, I think most people just took a 450 00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:51,879 Speaker 3: giant dump on like it sucks. Actually, they got two 451 00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:54,399 Speaker 3: pretty good teams and two quarterbacks who if you just 452 00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:57,160 Speaker 3: that have a lot of talent around him, can play well. 453 00:22:57,160 --> 00:22:59,640 Speaker 3: That the Saints I liked him a lot. 454 00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:03,040 Speaker 1: They've been Yeah, And I also think if you consider 455 00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:05,320 Speaker 1: Derek Carr a B to a B plus quarterback, which 456 00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:08,119 Speaker 1: I think Baker is, which I think Gino's closer to 457 00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:10,879 Speaker 1: B B minus. But if you look at the Saints 458 00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:15,040 Speaker 1: roster between I think Jeff Ireland and Mickey Loomis are 459 00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:18,000 Speaker 1: the two guys running personnel. They don't miss in a 460 00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:19,920 Speaker 1: lot of draft picks. John, if you start writing, I 461 00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:22,359 Speaker 1: mean Tomorrio Davis is one of the best linebackers. 462 00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:22,320 Speaker 2: In the game. 463 00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:25,360 Speaker 1: Oh fantastic, Yeah, I mean he's a thumper. They got 464 00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:28,240 Speaker 1: eight to ten Pro Bowl level players. We just know 465 00:23:28,359 --> 00:23:32,320 Speaker 1: the Niners players right like they're such a national team. 466 00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:35,800 Speaker 1: The Saints aren't. They're wildly popular in Louisiana, big in 467 00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:39,520 Speaker 1: the South, but Breeze leaves, you know who's Dennis Allen. 468 00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:42,760 Speaker 1: They're not a big national team anymore. You watch that 469 00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:45,200 Speaker 1: game against Dallas. To me, that wasn't about the Cowboys. 470 00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:49,080 Speaker 1: It was about the on line. Camara the play call again, 471 00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:54,960 Speaker 1: Derek Carr was six to thirteen on third downs. He 472 00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:57,159 Speaker 1: didn't throw the ball, They didn't ask him to do anything. 473 00:23:57,200 --> 00:24:00,359 Speaker 1: It was it's very brock pretty. It's a really easyft 474 00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:03,200 Speaker 1: when you're throwing on second and four and third and one. 475 00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:07,239 Speaker 3: The other thing is they have some more similarities than 476 00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:09,400 Speaker 3: people would realize. With the Steelers. Over the last couple 477 00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:12,320 Speaker 3: of years, quarterback play has been really atrocious. If you 478 00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:14,679 Speaker 3: get good quarterback play, and you have a good defense, 479 00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:16,560 Speaker 3: and you have some skill guys, like, you're gonna be 480 00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:19,920 Speaker 3: pretty good. And like the other thing they have going 481 00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:23,840 Speaker 3: for him is they get two cupcake games against the Panthers. 482 00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:26,800 Speaker 3: Those are two wins. They're gonna be confident playing Atlanta 483 00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:28,800 Speaker 3: and Tampa just because they play them all the time. 484 00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:32,280 Speaker 3: I feel even stronger, Like I'm not saying this is 485 00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:35,679 Speaker 3: a super Bowl team, but like, if Derek stays healthy, 486 00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:39,200 Speaker 3: that team can't win twelve games. I mean they got 487 00:24:39,359 --> 00:24:41,520 Speaker 3: high end players at a lot of key position. That 488 00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:44,919 Speaker 3: was today because you never know when you beat the 489 00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:47,240 Speaker 3: crap out of an awful team. And I like them today. 490 00:24:47,280 --> 00:24:48,840 Speaker 3: I liked them a lot plus six. I thought that 491 00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:52,719 Speaker 3: number was a pretty crazy. They came out today like 492 00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:54,720 Speaker 3: they were going to the Super Bowl. Did they not 493 00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:57,000 Speaker 3: like that? They was over quick. 494 00:24:57,960 --> 00:25:00,399 Speaker 1: I'll tell you the wise guys love Dallas. Dallas in 495 00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:04,840 Speaker 1: the regular season is an unbelievable home favorite. They are 496 00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:09,159 Speaker 1: very much Tyson in his prime. They can lose to somebody, 497 00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:11,639 Speaker 1: they can lose to an off holy Field or on Lennox, 498 00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:14,120 Speaker 1: but you put him as a favorite. They knock out 499 00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:17,600 Speaker 1: like Dallas is one right home team against against usually. 500 00:25:17,920 --> 00:25:20,080 Speaker 1: I mean, the Saints don't beat good teams. The last 501 00:25:20,119 --> 00:25:22,360 Speaker 1: three years they crushed Dallas. 502 00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:25,400 Speaker 3: I mean, I think Kubiak has thrown his hat into 503 00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:28,280 Speaker 3: the ring really really quick as a guy that's obviously 504 00:25:28,320 --> 00:25:30,280 Speaker 3: now on everyone's radar. The one thing is when you 505 00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:33,680 Speaker 3: play Zimmer, he's gonna blitz a lot. And it happened 506 00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:36,600 Speaker 3: to Kyle to day with Flores, who's very similar. If 507 00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:38,720 Speaker 3: you call the right play on the blitz, you're gonna 508 00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:41,320 Speaker 3: get a huge explosive play, and that happened over and 509 00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:43,800 Speaker 3: over early in that game. And then at Snowball we're 510 00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:45,840 Speaker 3: on the opposite side with the forty nine ers. He 511 00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:47,520 Speaker 3: was hitting the blitz, but they were getting home and 512 00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:51,119 Speaker 3: stacking the quarterback and they didn't hit the play. But Kubiak, 513 00:25:51,320 --> 00:25:53,359 Speaker 3: I mean, we're only two weeks in, but he's an 514 00:25:53,359 --> 00:25:56,720 Speaker 3: early front runner for Assistem of the Year right now. 515 00:25:56,720 --> 00:25:58,400 Speaker 3: That's for damn sure, let's talk Niners. 516 00:25:58,440 --> 00:26:00,560 Speaker 1: You know him well. My favorite out of the week 517 00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:04,240 Speaker 1: was Minnesota at home getting points. I think Kevin O'Connell 518 00:26:04,359 --> 00:26:07,120 Speaker 1: is I said this last week, he's Kevin Stefanski. Before 519 00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:09,800 Speaker 1: everybody realized how good Stefanski was dealing with all that 520 00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:12,440 Speaker 1: Cleveland nonsense, and he just continues to put out good 521 00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:15,520 Speaker 1: game plans. Again, they didn't ask a ton of Darnold 522 00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:17,720 Speaker 1: seventeen to twenty six, two hundred and seventy yards. He 523 00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:20,920 Speaker 1: had five rushes. You know, Fred Warner made a great 524 00:26:20,920 --> 00:26:23,480 Speaker 1: play because he's Fred Warner on an interception like that's 525 00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:26,600 Speaker 1: not a great interception, but again it Fred, You know 526 00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:28,440 Speaker 1: that that wouldn't have been picked off by ninety five 527 00:26:28,440 --> 00:26:30,040 Speaker 1: percent of the linebackers. 528 00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:30,000 Speaker 2: In the league. 529 00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:32,639 Speaker 3: Might be the only guy, but yeah, I. 530 00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:34,640 Speaker 1: Mean it was a great play. But what I looked 531 00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:37,040 Speaker 1: at was the time of possession thirty five minutes to 532 00:26:37,119 --> 00:26:40,360 Speaker 1: twenty five. Minnesota controlled the football. I mean it could 533 00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:43,520 Speaker 1: have been how if you take away the fumble by 534 00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:47,920 Speaker 1: Minnesota and the great Fred Warner picked John this could 535 00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:49,960 Speaker 1: have been a blowout. It could have been a blood 536 00:26:50,040 --> 00:26:52,040 Speaker 1: bath Niners. 537 00:26:52,040 --> 00:26:54,080 Speaker 3: He got worked work, I mean they got killed ky 538 00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:56,359 Speaker 3: Cat that was and he has one or two of 539 00:26:56,400 --> 00:26:58,200 Speaker 3: these a year. I mean, it was a bad rough 540 00:26:58,280 --> 00:27:00,560 Speaker 3: day for Kyle Special teams. They had a punt block. 541 00:27:01,119 --> 00:27:04,000 Speaker 3: Flores was taking him to the woodshed, getting free guys 542 00:27:04,040 --> 00:27:06,800 Speaker 3: all over. Py Perty had a bad pick, could have 543 00:27:06,920 --> 00:27:10,520 Speaker 3: probably thrown another one. Defensively, they had some herors, But 544 00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:13,080 Speaker 3: the story of the game and one of the stories 545 00:27:13,080 --> 00:27:14,800 Speaker 3: of the early year sam Donold. I mean that throw 546 00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:17,679 Speaker 3: he made the touchdown Jesus to Justin Jefferson, I mean 547 00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:20,840 Speaker 3: is seventy yards in the air. I mean you see 548 00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:23,440 Speaker 3: the arm strength, but the accuracy, and you think back 549 00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:25,879 Speaker 3: to the Fred Warner play. I think those are the 550 00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:27,600 Speaker 3: plays early on in his career where he just kind 551 00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:31,440 Speaker 3: of melts yes, and to me, whatever happened last year 552 00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:33,320 Speaker 3: with Kyle and they talked about it with Purdy, the 553 00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:36,040 Speaker 3: maturation of just learning how to study. He just kind 554 00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:37,840 Speaker 3: of feels like a different guy. And I think we 555 00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:41,680 Speaker 3: have an example with Baker Mayfield. Some people mature at 556 00:27:41,720 --> 00:27:45,960 Speaker 3: slower rates, whether it be football wise or personally and physically. 557 00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:48,680 Speaker 3: His talent, obviously, the touchdown to Jefferson is going to 558 00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:51,080 Speaker 3: be all over social media. He made some other throws 559 00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:53,639 Speaker 3: on third down that were just like, I mean, he 560 00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:55,840 Speaker 3: was slicing it that he was the better quarterback on 561 00:27:55,880 --> 00:27:58,280 Speaker 3: the field today. He was awesome. And then there was 562 00:27:58,320 --> 00:28:02,520 Speaker 3: another play his second touchdown while it was wide open. 563 00:28:03,119 --> 00:28:05,159 Speaker 3: Those are plays maybe early in his career. Maybe he 564 00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:08,240 Speaker 3: air mails, maybe he freaks out. Like he just feels very, 565 00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:11,400 Speaker 3: very under control. And I didn't think the Vikings were 566 00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:13,359 Speaker 3: gonna be very good, even though I thought it would 567 00:28:13,359 --> 00:28:16,200 Speaker 3: probably go pretty well for him. You start two to zero, 568 00:28:16,280 --> 00:28:18,359 Speaker 3: all of a sudden, there's a path for you to 569 00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:20,960 Speaker 3: get to nine ten wins. I mean, this is and 570 00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:23,280 Speaker 3: that home field advantage, right, you'd have to say that 571 00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:26,560 Speaker 3: Minnesota has one of the better ones in the league. 572 00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:29,680 Speaker 3: And that's like you said, that wasn't just a win. 573 00:28:29,840 --> 00:28:32,400 Speaker 3: You're playing the Niners, who's coming off a short week. 574 00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:34,080 Speaker 3: That wasn't ass cask kicking. 575 00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:37,480 Speaker 1: I mean, if you don't get that fumble. And again 576 00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:39,960 Speaker 1: I mean Fred Warner made a great pick and a 577 00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:42,040 Speaker 1: big hit causes a fumble. But this this could have 578 00:28:42,040 --> 00:28:43,560 Speaker 1: been a three touchdown blowout. 579 00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:45,280 Speaker 3: The score does not reflect at all. 580 00:28:45,320 --> 00:28:49,560 Speaker 1: I mean, the time of possession is insane. And I 581 00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:53,720 Speaker 1: also think it's funny with Darnold. You mentioned he's under control. 582 00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:57,160 Speaker 1: What's interesting when I watched Sam, it feels like he 583 00:28:57,400 --> 00:29:01,760 Speaker 1: sped his delivery up. Yet he's more under control, if 584 00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:04,959 Speaker 1: that makes any sense. So his feet aren't nervous, his 585 00:29:05,040 --> 00:29:08,160 Speaker 1: body's great, but it feels like O'Connell, who was a 586 00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:10,480 Speaker 1: quarterback in the league. They've you know, the knock on 587 00:29:10,520 --> 00:29:12,320 Speaker 1: him all with Steve Kaim told me on Friday on 588 00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:14,840 Speaker 1: FS one, I said, did you like Darnold coming out? 589 00:29:14,840 --> 00:29:15,640 Speaker 2: And he goes, I didn't. 590 00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:17,880 Speaker 1: I didn't really like him. I didn't like his mechanics. 591 00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:21,520 Speaker 1: He was too slow. Totally fair criticism. And Sam's a 592 00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:25,520 Speaker 1: playmaker like Mahomes. He's gonna throw bad picks. All these 593 00:29:25,560 --> 00:29:29,120 Speaker 1: guys that run around throw bad picks. I mean, Jesus 594 00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:33,360 Speaker 1: Mahomes has two or three terrible picks this year. I 595 00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:36,800 Speaker 1: can live with it. But Sam also five six different 596 00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:40,960 Speaker 1: times takes off. And what Sam's also done. I think 597 00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:43,480 Speaker 1: he's sped his he sped his delivery up a little bit. 598 00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:45,080 Speaker 1: His feet are under control. 599 00:29:45,320 --> 00:29:46,000 Speaker 2: But I think. 600 00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:49,239 Speaker 1: O'Connell gives him. And I've heard guys talk about this, 601 00:29:49,320 --> 00:29:55,920 Speaker 1: Matt Hasselbeck talks about this. Sam looks like O'Connell gives 602 00:29:55,960 --> 00:30:01,000 Speaker 1: him clear things like he drops and he immediately is 603 00:30:01,080 --> 00:30:04,160 Speaker 1: staring down a second later staring down or to play. 604 00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:06,959 Speaker 1: His head's not moving all over the place. I feel 605 00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:09,560 Speaker 1: like he's really intentional. I guess that's the way to 606 00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:11,640 Speaker 1: say it like, I don't feel like he's out of control. 607 00:30:11,920 --> 00:30:14,640 Speaker 1: Even if he moves in the pocket, he feels in control. 608 00:30:15,600 --> 00:30:17,480 Speaker 3: Yeah, they mentioned this on the broadcast. He much has 609 00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:20,040 Speaker 3: said to them that one thing he did last year 610 00:30:20,040 --> 00:30:22,200 Speaker 3: and he's carried in this year is tying his feet 611 00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:25,000 Speaker 3: with his upper body because clearly that was really out 612 00:30:25,040 --> 00:30:27,400 Speaker 3: of whack. And that's where you get throwing. You know, 613 00:30:27,440 --> 00:30:28,920 Speaker 3: you get to throw a lot of picks. Like, It's 614 00:30:28,920 --> 00:30:31,800 Speaker 3: one thing Mahomes is brilliant at. Despite him kind of 615 00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:34,200 Speaker 3: moving all over the place, he can always set himself 616 00:30:34,240 --> 00:30:36,200 Speaker 3: when he needs to make it throw. It's why he's 617 00:30:36,280 --> 00:30:38,840 Speaker 3: pretty accurate going to his left, going to his right. 618 00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:41,800 Speaker 3: And like you said, Sam is a playmaker because he 619 00:30:41,840 --> 00:30:45,160 Speaker 3: has a massive arm. But if you can one problem 620 00:30:45,280 --> 00:30:48,719 Speaker 3: was early in his career he couldn't hit layups. Yeah, Like, 621 00:30:48,960 --> 00:30:51,360 Speaker 3: I'm sure we'll talk about Anthony Richardson. If you can't 622 00:30:51,360 --> 00:30:54,320 Speaker 3: do the basic stuff, you have no chance cause you're 623 00:30:54,320 --> 00:30:57,360 Speaker 3: only going to hit the occasional sweet sixty yard bomb. 624 00:30:57,840 --> 00:31:00,920 Speaker 3: You have to hit second and set in the out route, 625 00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:03,239 Speaker 3: hit the guy and stride to move the chains. And 626 00:31:03,280 --> 00:31:05,600 Speaker 3: that's what Sam did all day to day. And he 627 00:31:05,600 --> 00:31:08,120 Speaker 3: did last week against the Giants. I mean, he's he 628 00:31:08,160 --> 00:31:10,840 Speaker 3: looks like a really solid player who's gonna start in 629 00:31:10,840 --> 00:31:13,280 Speaker 3: this league. For a while, I had the thought today, like, 630 00:31:14,040 --> 00:31:16,320 Speaker 3: if he's gonna play like this all year? I know, 631 00:31:16,360 --> 00:31:19,240 Speaker 3: you just invested in a player, but you just let 632 00:31:19,280 --> 00:31:21,440 Speaker 3: this guy walk if he's gonna play at this level. 633 00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:23,560 Speaker 3: It's one thing to do it against the Giants, it's 634 00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:25,680 Speaker 3: another thing to light up the forty nine ers like 635 00:31:25,720 --> 00:31:28,720 Speaker 3: a Christmas tree. So if he does this as the 636 00:31:28,760 --> 00:31:32,200 Speaker 3: season goes on to the Lions, the Packers, I do, 637 00:31:32,840 --> 00:31:34,880 Speaker 3: it's not just like you just let him walk, And 638 00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:37,160 Speaker 3: that's not usually the way the NFL works. You kind 639 00:31:37,160 --> 00:31:38,720 Speaker 3: of deal with what you got and you just kind 640 00:31:38,720 --> 00:31:40,800 Speaker 3: of ride it and figure it out later. Yeah. 641 00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:43,800 Speaker 1: It's interesting for the Niners too, because the Rams got dusted. 642 00:31:44,080 --> 00:31:47,680 Speaker 1: Good coaches and quarterbacks who get humiliated almost always play 643 00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:50,200 Speaker 1: well the following well weak and the Rams get their 644 00:31:50,280 --> 00:31:52,360 Speaker 1: left tackle back, which was a huge problem. And I 645 00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:55,400 Speaker 1: don't know his bowl. I don't know Bosa's situation physically. Now, 646 00:31:55,480 --> 00:31:56,120 Speaker 1: McCaffrey's go. 647 00:31:56,280 --> 00:31:58,080 Speaker 3: He was fine. I think he's okay, he'll. 648 00:31:57,960 --> 00:32:00,080 Speaker 1: Be fine, So it'll probably be a Niners win. But 649 00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:01,080 Speaker 1: you know the scheduling. 650 00:32:01,440 --> 00:32:02,000 Speaker 2: You know, we don't. 651 00:32:02,840 --> 00:32:05,920 Speaker 1: You and I take scheduling very seriously. You look, you 652 00:32:05,920 --> 00:32:08,320 Speaker 1: looked at Minnesota schedule in the first six weeks, You're like, 653 00:32:08,360 --> 00:32:10,280 Speaker 1: oh my god, they can go one six. Now you're 654 00:32:10,280 --> 00:32:12,480 Speaker 1: two and zero. Shit, if you go three and three 655 00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:15,040 Speaker 1: the back in the middle of that schedule for Minnesota, 656 00:32:15,080 --> 00:32:18,640 Speaker 1: Detroit doesn't look nearly as good Chicago. You know, we 657 00:32:18,680 --> 00:32:20,320 Speaker 1: don't know what we're getting. I want to talk to 658 00:32:20,360 --> 00:32:24,040 Speaker 1: Troit Tampa. So you know, there's the old saying in 659 00:32:24,080 --> 00:32:27,000 Speaker 1: almost every industry strike when the iron's hot. So Ben 660 00:32:27,080 --> 00:32:30,320 Speaker 1: Johnson Lions OC is the hottest guy in the lake. 661 00:32:30,920 --> 00:32:34,160 Speaker 1: I've watched them back to back weeks. Second half last week, 662 00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:41,440 Speaker 1: they weren't very good against Tampa. Jared Goff through fifty 663 00:32:41,480 --> 00:32:45,040 Speaker 1: five times and Tampa had injuries in the back end 664 00:32:45,080 --> 00:32:48,680 Speaker 1: of their defense. I'm watching them, and I'm like, I mean, 665 00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:53,400 Speaker 1: Detroit had an edge in first downs, in time of possession, 666 00:32:54,360 --> 00:32:58,920 Speaker 1: and yet something's missing, like golf should not be throwing 667 00:32:59,200 --> 00:33:03,000 Speaker 1: fifty five a game with an average secondary. That was 668 00:33:03,040 --> 00:33:04,720 Speaker 1: my take on it. 669 00:33:04,760 --> 00:33:06,600 Speaker 3: To me. One thing that stood out in that game 670 00:33:07,160 --> 00:33:11,200 Speaker 3: when you watch the two quarterbacks, Baker's not Lamar Jackson, 671 00:33:11,280 --> 00:33:14,160 Speaker 3: but he can move. Golf cannot so when you start 672 00:33:14,240 --> 00:33:16,880 Speaker 3: hitting golf, it really rattles them and throws them off. 673 00:33:16,920 --> 00:33:19,360 Speaker 3: And that happened today and balls were flying all over 674 00:33:19,400 --> 00:33:21,440 Speaker 3: the place, a couple awful picks over the middle of 675 00:33:21,440 --> 00:33:24,920 Speaker 3: the field. He can't add lib like one thing, Donald 676 00:33:25,040 --> 00:33:27,000 Speaker 3: like watching Donald and perty like. Those guys can move 677 00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:29,480 Speaker 3: and keep him play alive. Jared Goff cannot. So if 678 00:33:29,480 --> 00:33:31,480 Speaker 3: it is not there, and it's not there fast. The 679 00:33:31,520 --> 00:33:33,640 Speaker 3: other thing is I gotta give this guy credit. Now 680 00:33:33,640 --> 00:33:35,480 Speaker 3: he's he had a good year last year, won a 681 00:33:35,480 --> 00:33:37,640 Speaker 3: playoff game, and now he's having a good start. Todd 682 00:33:37,680 --> 00:33:41,560 Speaker 3: Bowles is an excellent defensive coordinator, I mean excellent. So 683 00:33:41,680 --> 00:33:44,000 Speaker 3: when you look at that game, you just go Todd Bowles, 684 00:33:44,040 --> 00:33:46,600 Speaker 3: who's just as a defensive coordinator, non head coach, he 685 00:33:46,680 --> 00:33:49,200 Speaker 3: might be the best in the league. Against Ben Johnson. 686 00:33:49,360 --> 00:33:51,720 Speaker 3: I think the thing with Ben Johnson big picture. He 687 00:33:51,800 --> 00:33:54,640 Speaker 3: turned a lot of people off last year, Yes, and 688 00:33:54,680 --> 00:33:57,080 Speaker 3: the word out, the way he handled things. Listen, if 689 00:33:57,080 --> 00:33:58,520 Speaker 3: you don't want to leave, you don't want to leave. 690 00:33:58,560 --> 00:34:00,960 Speaker 3: But he calls them as their flying into him. It's 691 00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:04,320 Speaker 3: been bizarre the ways that's happened. I still think their 692 00:34:04,440 --> 00:34:08,080 Speaker 3: talent on offense is so immense that it's going to 693 00:34:08,120 --> 00:34:10,040 Speaker 3: be hard for that over the course of the season. 694 00:34:10,160 --> 00:34:12,640 Speaker 3: Because Jamison Williams had a big play today, you have 695 00:34:12,840 --> 00:34:15,080 Speaker 3: that to go. Saint Brown gets banged up a lot. 696 00:34:15,239 --> 00:34:17,080 Speaker 3: You watch the Lions and there's a lot of times 697 00:34:17,080 --> 00:34:18,839 Speaker 3: where he's coming up you're like to hear his knee. 698 00:34:18,840 --> 00:34:21,319 Speaker 3: He hurt his hip. But they got two good running backs, 699 00:34:21,320 --> 00:34:24,760 Speaker 3: their offensive line. They should not be struggling to score points. 700 00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:28,279 Speaker 3: But credit to Tampa. I watched Tampa and go well. 701 00:34:28,320 --> 00:34:30,879 Speaker 3: Baker's playing well, and Godwin and Evans are as good 702 00:34:30,920 --> 00:34:33,120 Speaker 3: of a one to two combination. We got one guy's 703 00:34:33,120 --> 00:34:35,160 Speaker 3: go to the Hall of Fame, and Godwin asked Tom 704 00:34:35,200 --> 00:34:37,880 Speaker 3: Brady about him and he loves a freaking guy. They 705 00:34:37,920 --> 00:34:38,920 Speaker 3: look good college. You know. 706 00:34:39,200 --> 00:34:42,400 Speaker 1: The other thing the golf lack of mobility. And I 707 00:34:42,480 --> 00:34:44,920 Speaker 1: like Jared a lot, but if you if you go 708 00:34:44,960 --> 00:34:50,560 Speaker 1: to the big games in this league, that mobility thing 709 00:34:51,160 --> 00:34:54,280 Speaker 1: is why Mahomes is hoisting trophies. He had a forty 710 00:34:54,280 --> 00:34:56,480 Speaker 1: five yard run in last year's Super Bowl. If you 711 00:34:56,560 --> 00:35:02,160 Speaker 1: look at Jalen Hurbs, Allen Mahomes, the mobility thing's not 712 00:35:02,280 --> 00:35:05,160 Speaker 1: a small thing. Now, Kyler was off the freaking rails today. 713 00:35:05,280 --> 00:35:06,640 Speaker 2: Oh Jesus, it. 714 00:35:06,800 --> 00:35:09,040 Speaker 3: Just insane, best game of his life. 715 00:35:09,320 --> 00:35:12,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, but the golf thing isn't a small thing. Is 716 00:35:12,480 --> 00:35:14,680 Speaker 1: that when you get into these second half, so the 717 00:35:14,680 --> 00:35:16,000 Speaker 1: first half is almost. 718 00:35:15,960 --> 00:35:18,560 Speaker 3: Cousins is the same, Right, they can't move, they're sitting down. 719 00:35:18,680 --> 00:35:21,719 Speaker 1: So you get into these situations, your first half is 720 00:35:21,840 --> 00:35:24,120 Speaker 1: largely the first couple of drives are on script. Maybe 721 00:35:24,120 --> 00:35:28,040 Speaker 1: your third even a bit. Second half is not. It's 722 00:35:28,120 --> 00:35:31,400 Speaker 1: not just a little thing to say GoF is incapable 723 00:35:31,440 --> 00:35:35,800 Speaker 1: of moving. Because this staff's best coaches are on offense. 724 00:35:35,880 --> 00:35:38,680 Speaker 1: It's not like Belichick, where Belichick was literally just giving 725 00:35:38,680 --> 00:35:42,320 Speaker 1: Tom Field position turnovers in six So Detroit's going to 726 00:35:42,400 --> 00:35:44,880 Speaker 1: score their way to championships. They're going to be in 727 00:35:44,920 --> 00:35:48,000 Speaker 1: these shootouts. Well, you're not gonna throw for four touchdowns 728 00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:50,040 Speaker 1: in big games. So one of the things that I 729 00:35:50,040 --> 00:35:53,200 Speaker 1: took away I wrote in my notes today, Aaron Rodgers 730 00:35:53,239 --> 00:35:58,240 Speaker 1: is no longer mobile. It completely reduces the Jets offense, 731 00:35:58,239 --> 00:36:00,719 Speaker 1: which we'll get to next. But Goff's in ability to move. 732 00:36:01,080 --> 00:36:05,680 Speaker 1: I also wrote this down Baker. Now, I don't know 733 00:36:05,680 --> 00:36:09,160 Speaker 1: if he lost a little weight. I know Lamar lost weight. 734 00:36:08,239 --> 00:36:10,600 Speaker 3: He did. I think he did it last year that 735 00:36:10,640 --> 00:36:11,160 Speaker 3: he talked about. 736 00:36:11,239 --> 00:36:13,879 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think I think Baker's moving better than he's 737 00:36:13,960 --> 00:36:15,160 Speaker 1: ever moved in his career. 738 00:36:16,160 --> 00:36:20,360 Speaker 3: Dramatically. I think just thinking about Goff that game that 739 00:36:20,400 --> 00:36:24,480 Speaker 3: we just witnessed Cincy, and can't set how often how 740 00:36:24,520 --> 00:36:26,479 Speaker 3: often those two guys had to scramble to keep plays 741 00:36:26,640 --> 00:36:30,600 Speaker 3: absolutely And Mahome's probably a little bit better athlete than Joe, 742 00:36:30,680 --> 00:36:33,960 Speaker 3: but Joe can move fine. Jared Goff and Kirk Cousins 743 00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:37,000 Speaker 3: fall under this category of they're not like the elite 744 00:36:37,120 --> 00:36:40,879 Speaker 3: old school pocket quarterbacks, but when they are, you know, 745 00:36:41,120 --> 00:36:43,279 Speaker 3: they do have time, they can look really good, but 746 00:36:43,360 --> 00:36:46,920 Speaker 3: it does have to be perfect. And every defensive coordinator 747 00:36:47,160 --> 00:36:49,719 Speaker 3: hit the guy early and it throws him off. And 748 00:36:49,760 --> 00:36:53,120 Speaker 3: GoF got hit early and he just skipping balls. He 749 00:36:53,280 --> 00:36:56,920 Speaker 3: was just off and he cannot be He physically is 750 00:36:56,960 --> 00:36:59,799 Speaker 3: incapable at the NFL level to move around and keep 751 00:36:59,840 --> 00:37:03,120 Speaker 3: it play alive because once the play doesn't hit right away, 752 00:37:04,560 --> 00:37:07,399 Speaker 3: they either block for an extra couple seconds or they're 753 00:37:07,440 --> 00:37:10,200 Speaker 3: just screwed. And Cousins falls under the same category. Those 754 00:37:10,239 --> 00:37:13,839 Speaker 3: players don't really exist anymore. Colin. All the good quarterbacks, 755 00:37:13,960 --> 00:37:17,800 Speaker 3: they all can move, Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson, Justin, Herbert Mahomes, 756 00:37:17,840 --> 00:37:21,560 Speaker 3: Burrow Purdy, Jalen Hurst. Mobility is a big part of 757 00:37:21,600 --> 00:37:25,640 Speaker 3: them because half these plays. These defenders, I mean a 758 00:37:25,640 --> 00:37:29,040 Speaker 3: top of millionaires on that side, defensive coordinators making a lot. 759 00:37:29,120 --> 00:37:31,200 Speaker 3: You have to be able to keep plays alive. He 760 00:37:31,360 --> 00:37:33,799 Speaker 3: just cannot. Now. I like him better than Cousins, and 761 00:37:33,840 --> 00:37:36,759 Speaker 3: I like his team better. But you saw today like 762 00:37:36,800 --> 00:37:39,840 Speaker 3: that's like the reason maybe the Lions can't win a 763 00:37:39,880 --> 00:37:42,160 Speaker 3: Super Bowl is, like, you face enough good defens is, 764 00:37:42,360 --> 00:37:44,680 Speaker 3: you're gonna be in trouble because he gets thrown off. 765 00:37:44,960 --> 00:37:48,000 Speaker 3: He looks like a different player than when he's really humming. 766 00:37:49,920 --> 00:37:52,479 Speaker 1: It's time for this week's player I thought might give 767 00:37:52,520 --> 00:37:55,680 Speaker 1: you almost almost anything to redo his game, brought to 768 00:37:55,719 --> 00:37:58,680 Speaker 1: you by Uber Eats. This week it's Will Levis again, 769 00:37:58,719 --> 00:38:02,120 Speaker 1: who had an even uglier turnover than last week. Five 770 00:38:02,239 --> 00:38:06,400 Speaker 1: turnovers for Will Levis. Already through two games, the Titans 771 00:38:06,400 --> 00:38:09,360 Speaker 1: are zero and two. That was this week's Uber Eats 772 00:38:09,440 --> 00:38:13,239 Speaker 1: Player of the Week. Get almost almost anything for game day, 773 00:38:13,320 --> 00:38:18,280 Speaker 1: delivered with Uber Eats, the official on demand delivery partner 774 00:38:18,320 --> 00:38:27,640 Speaker 1: of the NFL uber eats order. Now I want to 775 00:38:27,680 --> 00:38:31,239 Speaker 1: talk Jets Tennessee. So the notes I wrote down. You know, 776 00:38:31,280 --> 00:38:34,560 Speaker 1: I remember hearing years ago that Aaron Rogers didn't love 777 00:38:34,600 --> 00:38:37,120 Speaker 1: a lot of motion. He didn't like his screwing around. 778 00:38:37,160 --> 00:38:39,960 Speaker 1: Aaron liked to go to the line, do a motion, 779 00:38:40,239 --> 00:38:42,799 Speaker 1: don't don't try to trick people. Just let me see 780 00:38:42,800 --> 00:38:44,440 Speaker 1: the defense and where I can go. And that was 781 00:38:44,520 --> 00:38:48,240 Speaker 1: and I've heard that on more than one occasion with Aaron. 782 00:38:48,320 --> 00:38:51,520 Speaker 1: He wasn't a huge fan of all the moment, you know, 783 00:38:51,560 --> 00:38:54,560 Speaker 1: the movement, the jumbo sets, the trickery. Just let me 784 00:38:54,560 --> 00:38:56,640 Speaker 1: get to the line, let me look around, let me 785 00:38:56,680 --> 00:39:00,560 Speaker 1: see the guys that I can attack. But that doesn't 786 00:39:00,600 --> 00:39:02,640 Speaker 1: mean you're not going to have some I mean you 787 00:39:02,640 --> 00:39:05,600 Speaker 1: will watch the Saints and the Niners. Kevin O'Connell's teams. 788 00:39:05,640 --> 00:39:09,120 Speaker 1: They're really smart teams. Mike McDaniel. Shit, they're moving constantly. 789 00:39:09,160 --> 00:39:13,280 Speaker 1: The motion percentages are through the roof. The Jets offense 790 00:39:13,520 --> 00:39:16,839 Speaker 1: that get plays in late there's very little motion. It's 791 00:39:17,160 --> 00:39:20,440 Speaker 1: it doesn't challenge Aaron at all. Now, Breese Hall made 792 00:39:20,440 --> 00:39:23,080 Speaker 1: a hell of a catch in the end zone. But 793 00:39:23,120 --> 00:39:25,920 Speaker 1: the tight thing about this with Will Levis, who may 794 00:39:25,960 --> 00:39:28,200 Speaker 1: have the worst judgment of any quarterback I've ever seen. 795 00:39:28,880 --> 00:39:32,640 Speaker 1: The Titans had more yards, more passing yards, more first downs, 796 00:39:32,840 --> 00:39:36,400 Speaker 1: and fewer punts than the Jets. In the timeout we're talking. 797 00:39:36,440 --> 00:39:39,080 Speaker 1: Aaron's a top ten quarterback, Will Levis maybe the worst. 798 00:39:40,280 --> 00:39:43,880 Speaker 1: How is that possible? And my takeaway is because I 799 00:39:43,880 --> 00:39:47,759 Speaker 1: think the better coaching on the offensive side is you 800 00:39:47,800 --> 00:39:50,600 Speaker 1: know it is the Callahans, But I'm watching the Jets 801 00:39:50,640 --> 00:39:52,520 Speaker 1: and you know, they won, and I thought they'd win 802 00:39:52,640 --> 00:39:55,880 Speaker 1: more comfortably. But God, John, I mean, you were a 803 00:39:55,880 --> 00:39:59,120 Speaker 1: scout in this league. The Jets offense is just put 804 00:39:59,160 --> 00:40:01,360 Speaker 1: it in Aaron's hands, try to get it to Garrett 805 00:40:01,400 --> 00:40:03,840 Speaker 1: or Breeze. It doesn't fool anybody. 806 00:40:04,680 --> 00:40:07,160 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I text you after last week and 807 00:40:07,200 --> 00:40:10,880 Speaker 3: everyone's like, can't overreact or playing the Niners. Well, we 808 00:40:10,920 --> 00:40:12,880 Speaker 3: hadn't seen Aaron Rodgers because we didn't see him in 809 00:40:12,880 --> 00:40:16,719 Speaker 3: the preseason. You talk about movement, He's Jared Goff Kirk 810 00:40:16,760 --> 00:40:19,799 Speaker 3: Cousins with a much better arm, and a huge part 811 00:40:19,840 --> 00:40:22,719 Speaker 3: of his brilliance over his career was he's probably the 812 00:40:22,800 --> 00:40:25,360 Speaker 3: greatest behind the line of scrimmage scramble thrower in the 813 00:40:25,400 --> 00:40:28,400 Speaker 3: history of the league and that is done. Yeah, so 814 00:40:28,520 --> 00:40:31,160 Speaker 3: he is. He's Jared Goff with a stronger arm now, 815 00:40:31,640 --> 00:40:35,040 Speaker 3: but he doesn't have a great offensive cornwall and their personnel. 816 00:40:35,400 --> 00:40:38,200 Speaker 3: They have one wide receiver. So what happened today, Well, 817 00:40:38,239 --> 00:40:40,800 Speaker 3: the Titans traded and paid Snead a lot of money, 818 00:40:41,040 --> 00:40:43,719 Speaker 3: neutralized Garrett Wilson a little bit. Now they got two 819 00:40:43,719 --> 00:40:46,600 Speaker 3: players on offense, a running back in a wide receiver. 820 00:40:46,920 --> 00:40:49,000 Speaker 3: This is not like they don't have a sweet tight end. 821 00:40:49,000 --> 00:40:52,000 Speaker 3: They don't have a deep wide receiver room. How many 822 00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:54,279 Speaker 3: guys do they lose day on defense? Jermaine Johnson. We 823 00:40:54,320 --> 00:40:57,560 Speaker 3: pass rusher got carted off the field, Mosley got hurt, 824 00:40:57,600 --> 00:41:00,480 Speaker 3: he didn't come back. Hassan Reddick is already giving up 825 00:41:00,480 --> 00:41:02,120 Speaker 3: one of the worst business decisions in the history of 826 00:41:02,160 --> 00:41:05,040 Speaker 3: the world. Eight million dollars just hasn't shown up. So 827 00:41:05,320 --> 00:41:07,919 Speaker 3: like you can, Soli can say all he wants out 828 00:41:07,920 --> 00:41:10,680 Speaker 3: of sight, out of mind, you're missing that player. Yeah, 829 00:41:10,880 --> 00:41:13,759 Speaker 3: so their defense isn't nearly as good as it has 830 00:41:13,800 --> 00:41:16,600 Speaker 3: been the last couple of years. And then you factor in, Yeah, 831 00:41:16,719 --> 00:41:20,200 Speaker 3: Rogers is an upgrade over their quarterback play. Zach Wilson. 832 00:41:20,239 --> 00:41:21,879 Speaker 3: Whoever the hell they've been rolling out for the last 833 00:41:21,920 --> 00:41:25,440 Speaker 3: two years. But relative to what they traded for, he's 834 00:41:25,520 --> 00:41:28,399 Speaker 3: to me a shell of himself. This notion that like, oh, 835 00:41:28,400 --> 00:41:30,400 Speaker 3: he still throws a great ball. If me and you 836 00:41:30,480 --> 00:41:32,839 Speaker 3: took Dan Marino out to a high school field right now, 837 00:41:32,920 --> 00:41:35,720 Speaker 3: Dan Marino would throw a beautiful spiral, right Aaron Rodgers 838 00:41:35,760 --> 00:41:38,799 Speaker 3: is gonna throw a beautiful spiral into a seventies. What 839 00:41:39,040 --> 00:41:41,400 Speaker 3: made him an elite player or a high end player 840 00:41:41,680 --> 00:41:45,160 Speaker 3: was the athleticism combined with the accuracy and the arms set. 841 00:41:45,640 --> 00:41:49,479 Speaker 3: The athleticism. Now his movement he feels like more Ridgie doesn't. 842 00:41:49,480 --> 00:41:51,960 Speaker 3: He's just looking at and he knows it. He's he 843 00:41:52,080 --> 00:41:54,840 Speaker 3: knows he can't run, he's not trying to run. He 844 00:41:54,920 --> 00:41:58,640 Speaker 3: looks like a different player still relative for them upgrade. Yeah, 845 00:41:58,680 --> 00:42:01,240 Speaker 3: but I don't view the Jets is a playoff team 846 00:42:01,760 --> 00:42:04,239 Speaker 3: at all, Colin. I mean, I think things have to 847 00:42:04,280 --> 00:42:07,200 Speaker 3: go so perfectly. They've already got injuries with guys that 848 00:42:07,480 --> 00:42:10,480 Speaker 3: haven't even been injured before. So what happens when they're injured. 849 00:42:10,520 --> 00:42:11,280 Speaker 3: Guys get injured. 850 00:42:11,320 --> 00:42:13,359 Speaker 1: I said this before the season. I said, folks, if 851 00:42:13,360 --> 00:42:16,839 Speaker 1: Bryce Hall twists an ankle, just roll your coverage over 852 00:42:16,960 --> 00:42:20,799 Speaker 1: Garre at Wilson. Aaron doesn't move. He's now ten and 853 00:42:20,800 --> 00:42:23,440 Speaker 1: eleven in his last twenty one games, and that that 854 00:42:23,520 --> 00:42:27,360 Speaker 1: game was more about Will Levis. I mean again, Titans 855 00:42:27,400 --> 00:42:31,120 Speaker 1: had more passing yards, more first downs, fewer punts. That 856 00:42:31,239 --> 00:42:33,040 Speaker 1: is the worst quarterback in the league. 857 00:42:33,760 --> 00:42:36,440 Speaker 3: You know, he's given away literally two games and no question, 858 00:42:36,560 --> 00:42:39,640 Speaker 3: I mean two games. Their defense, I'm Titans defense just 859 00:42:39,640 --> 00:42:41,600 Speaker 3: watching football these last couple of weeks has been one 860 00:42:41,600 --> 00:42:45,440 Speaker 3: of the better units. They have been fantastic. And Will Levis, 861 00:42:45,800 --> 00:42:47,759 Speaker 3: you were on this a long time ago. Other people 862 00:42:47,760 --> 00:42:50,279 Speaker 3: have jumped on the bandwagon. I think everyone You're not 863 00:42:50,320 --> 00:42:53,239 Speaker 3: gonna find a supporter, probably including his coach today. That 864 00:42:53,360 --> 00:42:55,280 Speaker 3: was he was screaming at him when he had that turnover. 865 00:42:55,440 --> 00:42:57,960 Speaker 3: Just it's unheard of. I mean, it's like high school 866 00:42:58,000 --> 00:42:58,520 Speaker 3: level turnot. 867 00:42:58,560 --> 00:42:59,359 Speaker 2: Yeah, you know what it is. 868 00:42:59,719 --> 00:43:04,120 Speaker 1: So I called I called somebody in the NFL as 869 00:43:04,160 --> 00:43:08,680 Speaker 1: a coach who's since been let go, and somebody I've 870 00:43:08,719 --> 00:43:11,520 Speaker 1: been friends with for five or six years. And I 871 00:43:11,600 --> 00:43:14,960 Speaker 1: called him and I said, all right. I texted him, 872 00:43:14,960 --> 00:43:17,439 Speaker 1: I said, hey, can we I got some questions about 873 00:43:17,480 --> 00:43:20,719 Speaker 1: a couple of guys, and so we talked, and. 874 00:43:22,320 --> 00:43:24,040 Speaker 2: You know, he knows I love football, and he. 875 00:43:24,000 --> 00:43:26,480 Speaker 1: Asked me about a couple of guys, and he asked 876 00:43:26,480 --> 00:43:30,000 Speaker 1: me about Will Levis, and I said, it really worries me. 877 00:43:30,200 --> 00:43:34,200 Speaker 2: I just see narcissism. I see I see kind of 878 00:43:34,239 --> 00:43:34,600 Speaker 2: a guy. 879 00:43:34,800 --> 00:43:39,279 Speaker 1: You know, the gun show at the you know, at 880 00:43:39,400 --> 00:43:46,439 Speaker 1: Combine and both those last two games. And I'll kind 881 00:43:46,440 --> 00:43:50,280 Speaker 1: of wedge this in. He's made mistakes that a selfish 882 00:43:50,360 --> 00:43:55,360 Speaker 1: player would make. He has made egregiously bad plays with 883 00:43:55,960 --> 00:43:59,920 Speaker 1: certain different times. Not just those two, but he's made 884 00:44:00,120 --> 00:44:03,880 Speaker 1: several players where it's like, dude, protect your team in 885 00:44:03,960 --> 00:44:08,920 Speaker 1: this spot. The Chicago pick is egregious. Protect your team. 886 00:44:08,960 --> 00:44:12,560 Speaker 1: Will's into Will. Will loves his arm, Will love the 887 00:44:12,560 --> 00:44:15,399 Speaker 1: way look the head bend. He's cool. I get it. 888 00:44:15,480 --> 00:44:20,960 Speaker 1: Confidence matters. But there are times in this league game 889 00:44:21,160 --> 00:44:26,080 Speaker 1: managing Tom Brady managed a lot of leads, he managed 890 00:44:26,120 --> 00:44:29,400 Speaker 1: a lot of moments. Will gets into these and it's like, 891 00:44:29,440 --> 00:44:32,399 Speaker 1: I'm gonna make a play. It's like, bro, Bro, you're 892 00:44:32,520 --> 00:44:36,239 Speaker 1: tied fourth quarter with Aaron Rodgers. This is a winnable 893 00:44:36,400 --> 00:44:39,080 Speaker 1: game now. And I just over the course of a game, 894 00:44:39,120 --> 00:44:42,200 Speaker 1: he really reminds me of Jay Cutler, and Jay Cutler 895 00:44:42,320 --> 00:44:43,839 Speaker 1: was a guy that was never liked in the room. 896 00:44:44,280 --> 00:44:46,640 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers. We can criticize him. People in the room 897 00:44:46,719 --> 00:44:50,200 Speaker 1: like Aaron, people out may not. I think Will Levis 898 00:44:50,239 --> 00:44:52,240 Speaker 1: could lose a locker room really fast. 899 00:44:53,280 --> 00:44:55,080 Speaker 3: Yeah. I don't even know who their backup is, but 900 00:44:55,120 --> 00:44:57,440 Speaker 3: I mean, to me, you could mention him immediately. I mean, 901 00:44:57,480 --> 00:45:00,120 Speaker 3: it's I hear that Jay Cutler just kind of the 902 00:45:00,160 --> 00:45:02,839 Speaker 3: reckless nature. Jay Cutler was in a different universe as 903 00:45:02,880 --> 00:45:04,960 Speaker 3: a player than Will. I mean, Will Levis is just 904 00:45:05,000 --> 00:45:10,120 Speaker 3: not an NFL starter. You know, highlight plays and this 905 00:45:10,160 --> 00:45:12,480 Speaker 3: is what Bill harped on about Caleb in the preseason 906 00:45:12,960 --> 00:45:16,040 Speaker 3: are meaningless, whether it's the preseason or regular season game. 907 00:45:16,120 --> 00:45:18,799 Speaker 3: If you can't do normal stuff well, and then in 908 00:45:18,840 --> 00:45:21,759 Speaker 3: the big spots like the Joe Burrow fumble, Like to me, 909 00:45:22,120 --> 00:45:24,479 Speaker 3: I don't really hold that against him kind of freakish play. 910 00:45:24,640 --> 00:45:26,839 Speaker 3: You have confidence that he can manage a game. That's 911 00:45:26,840 --> 00:45:29,719 Speaker 3: why he's such a great player. Where Will Levis now 912 00:45:29,800 --> 00:45:32,319 Speaker 3: back to back games, coming off a moment where you 913 00:45:32,400 --> 00:45:37,000 Speaker 3: just did something that was the just everyone who's making 914 00:45:37,000 --> 00:45:39,040 Speaker 3: fun of you around the league, you think you would 915 00:45:39,120 --> 00:45:42,319 Speaker 3: kind of overcompensate and really just say hey bad, take 916 00:45:42,320 --> 00:45:45,000 Speaker 3: a sack if I have to, and he did the opposite, 917 00:45:45,040 --> 00:45:48,000 Speaker 3: and then as coach freaked out in another winnable game. 918 00:45:48,000 --> 00:45:49,799 Speaker 3: I mean the Jets were, like you said, all the 919 00:45:49,800 --> 00:45:53,040 Speaker 3: stats they were against the Ropes, they did not look good. No, 920 00:45:53,360 --> 00:45:58,040 Speaker 3: I mean they were losing players. I'm thinking this is 921 00:45:58,120 --> 00:46:00,920 Speaker 3: going to be really, really bad because the Patriots have 922 00:46:00,960 --> 00:46:02,960 Speaker 3: been kind of feisty. It's like they wouldn't be some 923 00:46:03,160 --> 00:46:06,279 Speaker 3: lock to win on Thursday night. And then you find 924 00:46:06,280 --> 00:46:07,960 Speaker 3: a way to win. You get a momentum, you beat 925 00:46:07,960 --> 00:46:09,400 Speaker 3: the Patriots, all of a sudden, you feel kind of 926 00:46:09,400 --> 00:46:12,480 Speaker 3: good about yourself. But I have come away these two 927 00:46:12,480 --> 00:46:16,239 Speaker 3: weeks being very very concerned. Jets defense is worse than 928 00:46:16,239 --> 00:46:20,000 Speaker 3: we had thought, and Rogers, who we just were. I 929 00:46:20,080 --> 00:46:22,919 Speaker 3: was only going off like NFL Network highlights, thinking like god, 930 00:46:23,000 --> 00:46:25,439 Speaker 3: Rogers is kind of limping around and you watch a move, 931 00:46:25,480 --> 00:46:28,840 Speaker 3: he's just he's very ginger. Yeah, and he does not 932 00:46:29,040 --> 00:46:33,040 Speaker 3: want to leave the little radio four feet radios. We've 933 00:46:33,080 --> 00:46:35,359 Speaker 3: all been watching the guy for fifteen years. No one 934 00:46:35,480 --> 00:46:38,080 Speaker 3: was quicker take off, set his feet and throw a strike. 935 00:46:38,160 --> 00:46:39,240 Speaker 3: Those days are gone. 936 00:46:39,960 --> 00:46:43,279 Speaker 1: Yeah, I want to talk about Chargers Panthers. First of all, 937 00:46:43,320 --> 00:46:46,080 Speaker 1: Bryce Young has an offensive coach and better weapons. He 938 00:46:46,160 --> 00:46:48,480 Speaker 1: may not be able to play one for twelve on 939 00:46:48,600 --> 00:46:52,520 Speaker 1: third down sixty nine passing yards. He moves well, he 940 00:46:52,560 --> 00:46:55,840 Speaker 1: doesn't throw well. But here's what was a big moment 941 00:46:55,840 --> 00:46:57,919 Speaker 1: in this game. So the Chargers were favored by about 942 00:46:57,960 --> 00:47:01,040 Speaker 1: six they blew him out. So once again, it is 943 00:47:01,160 --> 00:47:05,560 Speaker 1: exactly what we expected. Justin Herbert goes fourteen to twenty 944 00:47:05,840 --> 00:47:08,680 Speaker 1: has about a half dozen rushes, so you know they 945 00:47:08,680 --> 00:47:12,080 Speaker 1: get Joe Alt Now they have the elite tackle play, 946 00:47:12,400 --> 00:47:16,000 Speaker 1: elite edge rusher play, and we worried about they don't 947 00:47:16,040 --> 00:47:18,719 Speaker 1: have a number one. Well, Quinton Johnson today had five 948 00:47:18,800 --> 00:47:20,839 Speaker 1: catches and two touchdowns. So Quentin's the guy they got 949 00:47:20,840 --> 00:47:23,080 Speaker 1: out of TCU. Brandon Staley didn't know. 950 00:47:23,080 --> 00:47:25,359 Speaker 2: How to develop him. He was a disaster last year. 951 00:47:25,400 --> 00:47:26,120 Speaker 2: I'm not sure if he. 952 00:47:26,280 --> 00:47:28,319 Speaker 3: Lost his confidence they had thrown into the I mean 953 00:47:28,320 --> 00:47:28,640 Speaker 3: he was. 954 00:47:28,640 --> 00:47:32,840 Speaker 1: Just I didn't even target him last year. He made 955 00:47:33,640 --> 00:47:36,919 Speaker 1: any heck of a catch day for a touchdown if 956 00:47:37,000 --> 00:47:39,680 Speaker 1: he hits. So now you got the slot kit out 957 00:47:39,680 --> 00:47:40,160 Speaker 1: of Georgia. 958 00:47:40,840 --> 00:47:41,200 Speaker 2: JK. 959 00:47:41,280 --> 00:47:43,759 Speaker 1: Dobbins is like a You see that flip into the 960 00:47:43,800 --> 00:47:44,480 Speaker 1: end zone like he's a. 961 00:47:44,480 --> 00:47:46,960 Speaker 3: Different look looks like a top five or six running 962 00:47:47,000 --> 00:47:47,520 Speaker 3: back in the NFL. 963 00:47:47,560 --> 00:47:49,560 Speaker 1: Right, so now I've got a top ten quarterback. I've 964 00:47:49,600 --> 00:47:52,680 Speaker 1: got a top five coach JK. Dobbins, I have a 965 00:47:52,760 --> 00:47:56,360 Speaker 1: run game, elite tackles, elite edge rushers. If Quinton Johnson 966 00:47:56,440 --> 00:47:59,920 Speaker 1: along with their slot guy out of Georgia. Okay, now, 967 00:48:00,000 --> 00:48:02,160 Speaker 1: oh you do have a weapon. Because he was a 968 00:48:02,239 --> 00:48:05,279 Speaker 1: big kid. But he reminded me last year a little 969 00:48:05,280 --> 00:48:07,359 Speaker 1: bit of Stephen Hill, the bust for the Jets years ago, 970 00:48:07,480 --> 00:48:09,640 Speaker 1: the wide receiver, the guy that just could run fast, 971 00:48:09,719 --> 00:48:11,600 Speaker 1: look great in the hotel lobby. But you're like, what 972 00:48:11,760 --> 00:48:17,480 Speaker 1: is it not Today? I thought it's amazing, John. Their 973 00:48:17,520 --> 00:48:20,040 Speaker 1: time of possession advantage was thirty six to twenty three. 974 00:48:20,080 --> 00:48:24,080 Speaker 1: It's so horrible. It's so Michigan. But I thought to myself, 975 00:48:24,360 --> 00:48:28,319 Speaker 1: you know what, I'm looking around at these teams. This 976 00:48:28,360 --> 00:48:31,520 Speaker 1: team could be a twelve win team. John elite tackles, 977 00:48:31,520 --> 00:48:34,719 Speaker 1: elite quarterback, elite coach, elite ed rushers. Now a star back, 978 00:48:34,800 --> 00:48:37,480 Speaker 1: time of possession dominance. Now we know the Raiders are 979 00:48:37,480 --> 00:48:38,279 Speaker 1: better than we thought. 980 00:48:39,840 --> 00:48:42,760 Speaker 3: Yeah. I was kicking myself because that game was over fast. 981 00:48:42,800 --> 00:48:47,239 Speaker 3: That I get Jim Harbaugh against this panther situation and 982 00:48:47,280 --> 00:48:49,680 Speaker 3: didn't bet at the mortgage, Like what was I doing? 983 00:48:50,320 --> 00:48:52,680 Speaker 3: You know, Jim, and we've been talking about this. I 984 00:48:52,719 --> 00:48:54,799 Speaker 3: was in the car this week when he came on 985 00:48:54,880 --> 00:48:59,480 Speaker 3: with you. His personality is dramatically different than the guy 986 00:48:59,520 --> 00:49:01,520 Speaker 3: I remember when I was around in San Francisco who 987 00:49:01,520 --> 00:49:03,479 Speaker 3: had this huge chip on his shoulder and was tight. 988 00:49:04,040 --> 00:49:05,719 Speaker 3: It felt like the way the last couple of years 989 00:49:05,719 --> 00:49:07,920 Speaker 3: in Michigan proving like, hey guys, I'm one of the 990 00:49:07,920 --> 00:49:09,839 Speaker 3: best in the business. I don't know if it's been 991 00:49:09,880 --> 00:49:12,719 Speaker 3: the weight's been lifted off his shoulders, but I know this, 992 00:49:13,120 --> 00:49:14,759 Speaker 3: and I think Jim might have said this to you 993 00:49:14,880 --> 00:49:16,440 Speaker 3: or I heard him say this somewhere. Is that his 994 00:49:16,560 --> 00:49:19,719 Speaker 3: dad was at a training camp practice and looked at 995 00:49:19,800 --> 00:49:21,960 Speaker 3: him and said, I think JK looks like the guy 996 00:49:22,360 --> 00:49:24,839 Speaker 3: a couple of years ago before he got injured. If 997 00:49:24,880 --> 00:49:28,720 Speaker 3: you give Jim Harbaugh a top end running back, because 998 00:49:28,719 --> 00:49:30,439 Speaker 3: we know he's always gonna have a good offensive lines, 999 00:49:30,440 --> 00:49:32,360 Speaker 3: why he you know, everyone thought he was nuts, like 1000 00:49:32,360 --> 00:49:34,239 Speaker 3: he's gonna take a wide receiver, Like no, guys, he's 1001 00:49:34,239 --> 00:49:36,759 Speaker 3: gonna take a offensive lineman. And then he calls them 1002 00:49:36,800 --> 00:49:39,920 Speaker 3: skill positions their defense is always going to be solid. 1003 00:49:39,960 --> 00:49:44,480 Speaker 3: Why one, he's just an elite hier like he hires 1004 00:49:44,560 --> 00:49:47,919 Speaker 3: well so like and John does too, they hire good 1005 00:49:47,960 --> 00:49:50,920 Speaker 3: defensive coaches, so their defense is going to be well coached, 1006 00:49:51,239 --> 00:49:53,279 Speaker 3: even if they're going to be better personnel wise than 1007 00:49:53,280 --> 00:49:56,080 Speaker 3: a couple of years. But like what he does translates. 1008 00:49:56,400 --> 00:49:59,359 Speaker 3: He controls the line of scrimmage on offense, which even 1009 00:49:59,400 --> 00:50:01,239 Speaker 3: if you have a way better offense than him, he 1010 00:50:01,320 --> 00:50:03,960 Speaker 3: keeps you off the field, and that wasn't the case today. 1011 00:50:03,960 --> 00:50:06,319 Speaker 3: But he can just run it down your throat. So 1012 00:50:06,400 --> 00:50:08,680 Speaker 3: if he can run it down your throat, Jim Harbaugh 1013 00:50:08,719 --> 00:50:11,160 Speaker 3: is a lock to win double digit games in college 1014 00:50:11,440 --> 00:50:13,799 Speaker 3: or the pros. And clearly the Broncos are not going 1015 00:50:13,840 --> 00:50:16,040 Speaker 3: to be very good. I still think the raid one 1016 00:50:16,160 --> 00:50:20,200 Speaker 3: advantage the Raiders had. The Ravens offensive line is not good, 1017 00:50:20,280 --> 00:50:22,280 Speaker 3: and the Raiders do have a good defensive line. Yeah, 1018 00:50:22,320 --> 00:50:24,279 Speaker 3: they were down ten in the fourth quarter and came 1019 00:50:24,280 --> 00:50:25,920 Speaker 3: to him, but it was an impressive win on the 1020 00:50:26,000 --> 00:50:28,680 Speaker 3: rod was But to me, the Ravens I got I 1021 00:50:28,760 --> 00:50:31,120 Speaker 3: got red flagged. I mean, they got some weird stuff 1022 00:50:31,200 --> 00:50:34,680 Speaker 3: going on. But I think Jim Harbaugh can finish second 1023 00:50:34,680 --> 00:50:36,880 Speaker 3: in this Division with ten or eleven wins and be 1024 00:50:37,000 --> 00:50:39,239 Speaker 3: in the playoffs. Yeah, you know, I don't think he 1025 00:50:39,239 --> 00:50:41,360 Speaker 3: can beat the Chiefs. Their team is not good enough 1026 00:50:41,480 --> 00:50:43,120 Speaker 3: maybe in an individual. 1027 00:50:42,600 --> 00:50:46,479 Speaker 1: Game, but they are built to beat Kansas City. 1028 00:50:47,200 --> 00:50:49,360 Speaker 3: Well, they're built to plan an ugly you know, twenty 1029 00:50:49,400 --> 00:50:50,200 Speaker 3: three to twenty game. 1030 00:50:50,280 --> 00:50:53,919 Speaker 1: Yeah, their time of possessions so far this season are 1031 00:50:53,960 --> 00:50:57,720 Speaker 1: really impressive. And it's just it's it's it's funny because 1032 00:50:58,440 --> 00:51:01,360 Speaker 1: just think about this. Six months ago, before the national 1033 00:51:01,440 --> 00:51:05,200 Speaker 1: before the college football playoffs, seventy percent of fans and 1034 00:51:05,320 --> 00:51:08,600 Speaker 1: media were still doubting Jim Harbaugh. He was getting crushed, 1035 00:51:08,600 --> 00:51:11,080 Speaker 1: he couldn't coach in the Penn State game. He's overrated. 1036 00:51:11,320 --> 00:51:15,720 Speaker 1: And now you look at him and you're like like, stop, stop, media, stop. 1037 00:51:15,960 --> 00:51:19,600 Speaker 1: This guy is absolutely phenomenal. This seem almost reminds me. 1038 00:51:19,640 --> 00:51:21,960 Speaker 3: Well, he's not very but he's not even hateable anymore. 1039 00:51:22,000 --> 00:51:24,160 Speaker 3: The way he carries himself, the way he interacts. He's 1040 00:51:24,200 --> 00:51:27,080 Speaker 3: actually much more lovable now because he used to have 1041 00:51:27,160 --> 00:51:31,000 Speaker 3: like this aggressive he was tough on the press, definitely publicly. 1042 00:51:31,040 --> 00:51:34,760 Speaker 3: He could befriend him off this version of Jim Harbaugh, 1043 00:51:35,320 --> 00:51:38,560 Speaker 3: and I didn't fall in this closely like in Michigan. 1044 00:51:38,560 --> 00:51:40,520 Speaker 3: Part of it. He was suspended a couple times last year. 1045 00:51:40,560 --> 00:51:42,719 Speaker 3: Just in terms of his daily press conferences. He's a 1046 00:51:42,760 --> 00:51:45,480 Speaker 3: new man. I mean he's I bet the Spanishes are 1047 00:51:45,480 --> 00:51:48,399 Speaker 3: like God, this is incredible, the way he interacts, how 1048 00:51:48,440 --> 00:51:51,040 Speaker 3: happy he is. I mean, he's just he feels like 1049 00:51:51,080 --> 00:51:54,120 Speaker 3: a different person. Maybe he's sixty now, life's good. I 1050 00:51:54,120 --> 00:51:58,279 Speaker 3: don't know. Southern California. He feels completely different than the 1051 00:51:58,320 --> 00:52:00,560 Speaker 3: guy at Stanford at the forty nine. And I would 1052 00:52:00,560 --> 00:52:04,399 Speaker 3: say early on in Michigan, just his mannerisms, his communication, 1053 00:52:04,760 --> 00:52:07,359 Speaker 3: just his just everyday demeanor. Yeah. 1054 00:52:07,400 --> 00:52:10,520 Speaker 1: I mean, I think some of it is he's inherited 1055 00:52:11,960 --> 00:52:16,440 Speaker 1: some decent quarterbacks Alex Smith. He's I think he realizes, 1056 00:52:16,880 --> 00:52:20,799 Speaker 1: holy crap, I got a top five quarterback here. That 1057 00:52:20,880 --> 00:52:24,600 Speaker 1: makes everybody happier. And Tom Telasco deserves some credit. They've 1058 00:52:24,600 --> 00:52:28,040 Speaker 1: got players. I mean they just Tom made a mistake. 1059 00:52:28,160 --> 00:52:30,759 Speaker 1: He hired the wrong guy. Brian Dabel was out there. 1060 00:52:30,960 --> 00:52:34,320 Speaker 1: He knew Dabel, but they ended up going with Brandon Staley. 1061 00:52:34,360 --> 00:52:37,400 Speaker 1: If he has Dabel, maybe Jim Harbaugh stays in college. 1062 00:52:37,680 --> 00:52:39,600 Speaker 1: You know, it's weird how things work. If the doctor 1063 00:52:39,640 --> 00:52:43,120 Speaker 1: for the Miami Dolphins gives Drew Brees the thumbs up. 1064 00:52:44,040 --> 00:52:46,319 Speaker 1: May never go to Alabama, he stays, you know, he 1065 00:52:46,400 --> 00:52:47,719 Speaker 1: was starting to kind of get things. 1066 00:52:47,480 --> 00:52:48,240 Speaker 2: Going in Miami. 1067 00:52:48,640 --> 00:52:50,680 Speaker 1: Well, I mean, at the bottom line, if Dabel gets 1068 00:52:50,719 --> 00:52:53,200 Speaker 1: the job and not Brandon Stalely, my take is justin 1069 00:52:53,200 --> 00:52:57,399 Speaker 1: Herbert's good and Harbaugh's probably staying at college one more year. 1070 00:52:57,840 --> 00:53:00,279 Speaker 1: But it's it is interesting to watch them. This team 1071 00:53:00,280 --> 00:53:03,839 Speaker 1: reminds me a little of the Stanford team, which if 1072 00:53:03,880 --> 00:53:05,440 Speaker 1: you go back to the early years, once they got 1073 00:53:05,440 --> 00:53:07,560 Speaker 1: Andrew Luck, you had this great quarterback and he only 1074 00:53:07,560 --> 00:53:10,240 Speaker 1: threw like twenty five times a game. They were pounding it, 1075 00:53:10,800 --> 00:53:13,239 Speaker 1: running down your throat. They had good tackles, they had 1076 00:53:13,239 --> 00:53:18,400 Speaker 1: a pass rush. So I think it's interesting td Tuddy 1077 00:53:18,600 --> 00:53:20,640 Speaker 1: taking it to the house in for six, whatever you 1078 00:53:20,680 --> 00:53:23,719 Speaker 1: call it, touchdown.

Listen. 1108 00:54:44,640 --> 00:54:46,680 Speaker 1: Rams don't know any players. I mean, they're just they're just. 1109 00:54:47,239 --> 00:54:49,680 Speaker 1: Cooper Cup was limped today. Pooka is already out. Tyler 1110 00:54:49,760 --> 00:54:55,240 Speaker 1: Higgsby's out. Let's talk Marvin Harrison and Kyler So Marvin Harrison. 1111 00:54:55,320 --> 00:54:57,880 Speaker 1: The best college receiver I ever saw was Randy Moss. 1112 00:54:58,320 --> 00:55:00,799 Speaker 1: The second was Calvin Johnson. I think Marvin reminds me 1113 00:55:00,800 --> 00:55:06,840 Speaker 1: a little of Calvin Johnson. Size, length, hatching, radius, hands. 1114 00:55:07,239 --> 00:55:10,120 Speaker 1: He didn't run like Moss, either did Calvin. But you're 1115 00:55:10,120 --> 00:55:15,200 Speaker 1: not going to catch him from behind. But now you 1116 00:55:15,200 --> 00:55:17,960 Speaker 1: know the first week Steve Kim told me he'd watched 1117 00:55:17,960 --> 00:55:20,520 Speaker 1: the film and the tape and he said Marvin was nervous. 1118 00:55:20,719 --> 00:55:24,600 Speaker 1: He was playing slow. He's not really a burner, but 1119 00:55:24,719 --> 00:55:26,600 Speaker 1: in a league you saw it today with the Rams, 1120 00:55:26,600 --> 00:55:31,960 Speaker 1: in a league that has a lack of corners, and 1121 00:55:33,320 --> 00:55:35,960 Speaker 1: you know, with Kyler's ability to run, you have to 1122 00:55:36,000 --> 00:55:38,799 Speaker 1: have a spy. He's going to get some one on 1123 00:55:38,800 --> 00:55:40,600 Speaker 1: one man and they run the football well. 1124 00:55:41,000 --> 00:55:41,680 Speaker 2: So it's like you. 1125 00:55:41,600 --> 00:55:44,279 Speaker 1: Start looking at Arizona and you're like, you know, we 1126 00:55:44,320 --> 00:55:47,160 Speaker 1: watched Buffalo handle Miami. Buffalo is probably pretty good team. 1127 00:55:47,719 --> 00:55:51,359 Speaker 1: They took a big lead on them. Harrison is I mean, 1128 00:55:51,360 --> 00:55:53,799 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, they have two backs. Kyler had 1129 00:55:53,800 --> 00:55:56,120 Speaker 1: his best game maybe as a pro. Marvin Harrison and 1130 00:55:56,160 --> 00:55:59,120 Speaker 1: I will argue this. I think their coach is good 1131 00:55:59,120 --> 00:56:00,520 Speaker 1: on his side of the ball. I think they play 1132 00:56:00,520 --> 00:56:03,279 Speaker 1: their ass off defensively. What do you make of Arizona 1133 00:56:03,560 --> 00:56:04,440 Speaker 1: and Kyler? 1134 00:56:05,600 --> 00:56:08,919 Speaker 3: I don't know where Kyler ranks, you know, one through 1135 00:56:08,960 --> 00:56:12,120 Speaker 3: twelve or whatever. He's probably close to ten through twelve 1136 00:56:12,160 --> 00:56:14,880 Speaker 3: than he is three or four. But when he's on, 1137 00:56:15,160 --> 00:56:17,200 Speaker 3: there can't there's a short list of players that you 1138 00:56:17,200 --> 00:56:20,680 Speaker 3: would rather watch. Wow, he is as entertaining as they get. 1139 00:56:20,719 --> 00:56:23,760 Speaker 3: Like what Deshaun Watson has become like no one wants 1140 00:56:23,760 --> 00:56:28,040 Speaker 3: to watch him. Kyler's the opposite. He's like, this is awesome. 1141 00:56:29,680 --> 00:56:31,960 Speaker 3: He's always gonna have some limitations in the pocket just 1142 00:56:32,000 --> 00:56:35,520 Speaker 3: because of height, but just a pure talent. You know, 1143 00:56:35,600 --> 00:56:38,480 Speaker 3: you've been watching sports longer than me. He has to 1144 00:56:38,520 --> 00:56:41,200 Speaker 3: be one of the great true blue chip just talents 1145 00:56:41,239 --> 00:56:44,560 Speaker 3: in the history of sports to have that much capability 1146 00:56:44,640 --> 00:56:46,799 Speaker 3: to do the things he can do at five foot nine. 1147 00:56:47,800 --> 00:56:51,480 Speaker 3: I mean his speed, his arm strength, his accuracy on 1148 00:56:51,520 --> 00:56:54,879 Speaker 3: the move. Obviously, Harrison's a really good player. One thing 1149 00:56:54,960 --> 00:56:57,680 Speaker 3: I heard in the offseason when he got drafted is 1150 00:56:58,400 --> 00:57:01,400 Speaker 3: the one transition part for Marvin Harrison was going to 1151 00:57:01,440 --> 00:57:05,120 Speaker 3: be the overwhelming majority of players Heath saw in college 1152 00:57:05,120 --> 00:57:08,120 Speaker 3: these last couple of years were guys not NFL corners 1153 00:57:08,280 --> 00:57:10,279 Speaker 3: for a lot of guys in the Big Ten. And 1154 00:57:10,320 --> 00:57:12,520 Speaker 3: he came to the NFL and he's immediately facing the 1155 00:57:12,560 --> 00:57:16,200 Speaker 3: first week the Bills. Rasuell Douglas. This guy's making ten 1156 00:57:16,200 --> 00:57:18,160 Speaker 3: million dollars a year, probably has a couple kids at home, 1157 00:57:18,200 --> 00:57:19,920 Speaker 3: drives a range row that lives in a mansion, and 1158 00:57:20,360 --> 00:57:23,160 Speaker 3: he's trying to take your lunch and Marvin, it was 1159 00:57:23,200 --> 00:57:26,040 Speaker 3: going to be a wake up moment. And today they 1160 00:57:26,080 --> 00:57:28,480 Speaker 3: don't exactly have Jalen Ramsey out there anymore, so you 1161 00:57:28,520 --> 00:57:31,440 Speaker 3: get a confidence he gets an early catch. I loved 1162 00:57:31,560 --> 00:57:34,400 Speaker 3: from a gambling perspective betting on Marvin Harrison whatever his 1163 00:57:34,520 --> 00:57:37,280 Speaker 3: props were, because last week it was so like it 1164 00:57:37,320 --> 00:57:38,920 Speaker 3: was such a big story. You knew they were going 1165 00:57:39,000 --> 00:57:40,960 Speaker 3: to try to feed him the ball right to get 1166 00:57:40,960 --> 00:57:43,440 Speaker 3: his confidence moving. They have a lot of talent, Like 1167 00:57:43,480 --> 00:57:45,640 Speaker 3: if Kyler's just he doesn't need to play like today. 1168 00:57:45,680 --> 00:57:48,360 Speaker 3: But if he's playing well, Trey McBride, if you just 1169 00:57:48,400 --> 00:57:50,560 Speaker 3: did this draft from scratch with GMS, would be a 1170 00:57:50,600 --> 00:57:55,480 Speaker 3: top five touch tight end. James Connor is a running 1171 00:57:55,480 --> 00:57:57,880 Speaker 3: back no one talks about. Whenever I was last year, 1172 00:57:58,200 --> 00:58:00,400 Speaker 3: this guy could play on my team and he dad yes, 1173 00:58:00,680 --> 00:58:03,680 Speaker 3: and like you said, my buddies with Philly, I know 1174 00:58:03,720 --> 00:58:06,800 Speaker 3: the way it ended right. Defensively, he got a lot 1175 00:58:06,800 --> 00:58:10,240 Speaker 3: of shit Gannon. They love the guy and they and 1176 00:58:10,280 --> 00:58:12,600 Speaker 3: I remember hearing like he might be a better head 1177 00:58:12,600 --> 00:58:14,920 Speaker 3: coach than he was a pure schematics guy, because how 1178 00:58:14,920 --> 00:58:16,680 Speaker 3: good he is with players, how good of a leader 1179 00:58:16,720 --> 00:58:18,720 Speaker 3: he is, the way he carries himself. He's a really 1180 00:58:18,760 --> 00:58:22,240 Speaker 3: smart guy. I don't know if they're a playoff team 1181 00:58:22,280 --> 00:58:24,680 Speaker 3: because the one thing with Kyler is he can be 1182 00:58:24,800 --> 00:58:29,480 Speaker 3: a very up and down. He's got a streak exactly 1183 00:58:29,520 --> 00:58:31,280 Speaker 3: like he could score thirty in the next game he 1184 00:58:31,320 --> 00:58:34,960 Speaker 3: scores five points like Buddy. But but when he's healthy, 1185 00:58:35,000 --> 00:58:38,040 Speaker 3: he is a He's He's on a top five list 1186 00:58:38,080 --> 00:58:40,840 Speaker 3: of guys that would keep defensive coordinators up throughout the 1187 00:58:40,880 --> 00:58:42,000 Speaker 3: week because he can do stuff like that. 1188 00:58:42,080 --> 00:58:46,480 Speaker 1: And like Minnesota, we may not love their overall roster, 1189 00:58:46,800 --> 00:58:49,240 Speaker 1: but you look at Minnesota's offensive pieces and they don't 1190 00:58:49,240 --> 00:58:53,680 Speaker 1: even have Jordan Madison. Yet it's like Minnesota's got left tackle, 1191 00:58:53,880 --> 00:58:57,920 Speaker 1: backed tight end, two receivers, quarterback coach, like they got dogs. 1192 00:58:58,000 --> 00:59:02,160 Speaker 1: I mean Arizona McBride, the two backs, Marvin Harrison, they 1193 00:59:02,160 --> 00:59:03,720 Speaker 1: had another kid make a nice catch in the back 1194 00:59:03,720 --> 00:59:08,040 Speaker 1: of the end zones like Kyler. I just watched them 1195 00:59:08,040 --> 00:59:12,480 Speaker 1: today and I'm like, I mean the two teams in 1196 00:59:12,520 --> 00:59:15,440 Speaker 1: the league that I've watched and I've went, Wow, Saints 1197 00:59:15,760 --> 00:59:18,640 Speaker 1: and even though they're one and one, Arizona that first 1198 00:59:18,640 --> 00:59:21,120 Speaker 1: half against Buffalo, Buffalo was on the ropes. 1199 00:59:22,000 --> 00:59:25,400 Speaker 3: The one thing Kyler and if you remember back, you know, 1200 00:59:25,600 --> 00:59:27,480 Speaker 3: was it three or four years ago when they started 1201 00:59:27,480 --> 00:59:31,800 Speaker 3: like eleven and one, he can like he wears down 1202 00:59:31,880 --> 00:59:33,840 Speaker 3: over the course of the year, as guys do get 1203 00:59:33,840 --> 00:59:36,320 Speaker 3: shots on him when he is healthy and clearly he 1204 00:59:36,400 --> 00:59:39,160 Speaker 3: is right now he can be like an MVP candidate. 1205 00:59:39,480 --> 00:59:43,080 Speaker 3: Can he look like that? And one thing that's very 1206 00:59:43,080 --> 00:59:46,080 Speaker 3: clear and the two a hit which was awful to 1207 00:59:46,120 --> 00:59:50,160 Speaker 3: watch was avoidable. He got a slide. Jaden Daniels, another guy, 1208 00:59:50,480 --> 00:59:56,200 Speaker 3: incredible runner, cannot slide the smart quarterbacks, like I thought 1209 00:59:56,240 --> 00:59:58,200 Speaker 3: the moment that to a moment happened, I was like, 1210 00:59:58,240 --> 01:00:00,880 Speaker 3: I bet every quarterback beside like golf, because you don't 1211 01:00:00,880 --> 01:00:03,080 Speaker 3: even need to show him this. And Kirk Cousins is 1212 01:00:03,120 --> 01:00:05,560 Speaker 3: gonna watch that like ten times with their quarterback coach, 1213 01:00:06,000 --> 01:00:10,000 Speaker 3: like you guys are too important to us to not slide. Yes, 1214 01:00:10,080 --> 01:00:12,600 Speaker 3: this is not the nineteen eighties and seventies, but you 1215 01:00:12,680 --> 01:00:15,640 Speaker 3: will still get injured if you run into these defenders. 1216 01:00:16,120 --> 01:00:18,440 Speaker 3: And if Kyler, who is a baseball player, is a 1217 01:00:18,440 --> 01:00:21,440 Speaker 3: good slider and it's so fast, can get to the 1218 01:00:21,520 --> 01:00:23,800 Speaker 3: edges and get out of bounce, can avoid just the 1219 01:00:24,120 --> 01:00:27,160 Speaker 3: meaningless hits you don't need. Jayden Daniels is taking like 1220 01:00:27,200 --> 01:00:29,280 Speaker 3: he has such a special talent, but he's taking so 1221 01:00:29,320 --> 01:00:32,800 Speaker 3: many meaningless brutal that just wears you over the course 1222 01:00:32,840 --> 01:00:35,640 Speaker 3: of the year. And eventually if a guy holds you 1223 01:00:35,720 --> 01:00:38,120 Speaker 3: up and another guy's coming in, it could injure season. 1224 01:00:38,640 --> 01:00:42,200 Speaker 3: Non I'm talking breaking a clavicle, breaking an arm. And 1225 01:00:42,600 --> 01:00:44,640 Speaker 3: I do think Kyler's now been around a long time 1226 01:00:44,720 --> 01:00:47,200 Speaker 3: and he has the capability to slide. He just every 1227 01:00:47,200 --> 01:00:50,080 Speaker 3: time he runs should never get tackled, right, And if 1228 01:00:50,120 --> 01:00:52,320 Speaker 3: I was them, I would never never call like a 1229 01:00:52,400 --> 01:00:55,760 Speaker 3: Josh Allen power run between the tackles. Any run beside 1230 01:00:55,760 --> 01:00:58,600 Speaker 3: when he's scrambling around is an edge run. But how 1231 01:00:58,600 --> 01:01:00,360 Speaker 3: do you not call something for him because he is 1232 01:01:01,040 --> 01:01:03,400 Speaker 3: that today? This is where you get if you're the 1233 01:01:03,480 --> 01:01:07,040 Speaker 3: Rams and the Bengals. When you lose, like the Rams 1234 01:01:07,080 --> 01:01:09,560 Speaker 3: lost a coin flip game week one, then all of 1235 01:01:09,600 --> 01:01:11,800 Speaker 3: a sudden, it's snowballs. Now they're getting the Niners, who 1236 01:01:11,840 --> 01:01:13,600 Speaker 3: are also going to be pissed off who kind of 1237 01:01:13,640 --> 01:01:15,040 Speaker 3: owned you all of a sudden. You look, we're zero 1238 01:01:15,040 --> 01:01:17,040 Speaker 3: to three and we think we're pretty good. You know 1239 01:01:17,920 --> 01:01:19,640 Speaker 3: that can happen the Bengals. Same thing. All of a sudden, 1240 01:01:19,640 --> 01:01:21,840 Speaker 3: it's like, oh, that's why you got to take advantage 1241 01:01:21,880 --> 01:01:23,120 Speaker 3: when you have those coin flip games. 1242 01:01:23,160 --> 01:01:25,920 Speaker 1: I will say this, San Francisco lost, Baltimore Rams zho 1243 01:01:25,960 --> 01:01:30,520 Speaker 1: and two. It is a long season. I will stay Bengals. Yeah, 1244 01:01:30,600 --> 01:01:35,840 Speaker 1: I'm gonna circle back though, of all those teams big picture, 1245 01:01:35,880 --> 01:01:38,200 Speaker 1: let's wrap it up with this big picture of all 1246 01:01:38,240 --> 01:01:41,320 Speaker 1: the teams that are scrapping. I like Cincinnati. First of all, 1247 01:01:41,320 --> 01:01:44,480 Speaker 1: T Higgins is coming back. They just lost a game 1248 01:01:44,520 --> 01:01:46,439 Speaker 1: they could have won against Kansas City. That's a pretty 1249 01:01:46,480 --> 01:01:51,720 Speaker 1: damn good loss. Joe Burrow's fantastic. Burton will become more 1250 01:01:51,760 --> 01:01:53,600 Speaker 1: of a player. You know, he's just a young receiver. 1251 01:01:53,640 --> 01:01:55,880 Speaker 1: You got guys like him. Over a four or five 1252 01:01:55,920 --> 01:01:59,200 Speaker 1: game stretch, can become a different player. I think Baltimore's 1253 01:01:59,240 --> 01:02:01,400 Speaker 1: oh lines of mass. I think the Rams all lines 1254 01:02:01,400 --> 01:02:05,960 Speaker 1: a mess. Those are real concerns. I look at Cincinnati, 1255 01:02:06,560 --> 01:02:10,560 Speaker 1: John if they reeled off eight straight wins, I wouldn't 1256 01:02:10,600 --> 01:02:11,160 Speaker 1: be surprised. 1257 01:02:12,320 --> 01:02:14,360 Speaker 3: Well, they win every They beat every team in the 1258 01:02:14,400 --> 01:02:17,840 Speaker 3: league beside the Chiefs today. Right, I mean so that 1259 01:02:18,320 --> 01:02:20,720 Speaker 3: like that version of the game is a twelve thirteen 1260 01:02:20,760 --> 01:02:24,000 Speaker 3: win team. So I'm with you. I just you know, 1261 01:02:24,040 --> 01:02:26,120 Speaker 3: the Borough injury is always in the back of your head. 1262 01:02:26,160 --> 01:02:29,480 Speaker 3: Can he stay healthy? I just they do? You know, 1263 01:02:29,560 --> 01:02:32,000 Speaker 3: Jamar Chase, you have to wonder if his outburst is 1264 01:02:32,000 --> 01:02:34,120 Speaker 3: a little A lot going on with his contract now 1265 01:02:34,120 --> 01:02:36,440 Speaker 3: he says I'm good for the season. They just got 1266 01:02:36,440 --> 01:02:38,680 Speaker 3: a lot going on. You know. T Higgins is having 1267 01:02:38,680 --> 01:02:41,080 Speaker 3: to answer questions like is he faking an injury because 1268 01:02:41,120 --> 01:02:44,400 Speaker 3: he's pissed off of the contract. This is this is 1269 01:02:44,440 --> 01:02:46,800 Speaker 3: a spot that if you told me, like Tomlin, you 1270 01:02:46,800 --> 01:02:49,600 Speaker 3: know John Harbaugh or Jim Harball was handling the guys 1271 01:02:49,640 --> 01:02:51,680 Speaker 3: Beck he can handle it. You see Zach trying to 1272 01:02:51,720 --> 01:02:54,360 Speaker 3: get Jamar Chase younger guy, even though he's now been 1273 01:02:54,360 --> 01:02:55,960 Speaker 3: a head coach for a what it's a tough position. 1274 01:02:56,760 --> 01:02:59,680 Speaker 3: It's not easy, but I'm with you. I mean, they're 1275 01:02:59,720 --> 01:03:02,919 Speaker 3: just when Joe's right, they're really good. The one team 1276 01:03:02,960 --> 01:03:04,920 Speaker 3: that I'm concerned of that I liked as a playoff 1277 01:03:04,960 --> 01:03:08,280 Speaker 3: team was our guy, Chris Ballard and Shane Steiken win 1278 01:03:08,360 --> 01:03:13,720 Speaker 3: Indy their quarterback to lose. I loved the Colts because 1279 01:03:13,760 --> 01:03:17,280 Speaker 3: I was like Malik Willis and then Malik Willis looked 1280 01:03:17,280 --> 01:03:21,080 Speaker 3: better than an Anthony Richardson, you know Bo Nicks or 1281 01:03:21,320 --> 01:03:25,960 Speaker 3: the rookie quarterback and he was bad andthy Richardson what 1282 01:03:26,000 --> 01:03:26,880 Speaker 3: was that? Well? 1283 01:03:27,120 --> 01:03:31,360 Speaker 1: And it concerned you because Steiken had Herbert as a rookie. 1284 01:03:31,400 --> 01:03:34,920 Speaker 1: Herbert set NFL rookie records. He made Jalen Hurts an 1285 01:03:35,000 --> 01:03:37,880 Speaker 1: MVP level player. This is the best off one he 1286 01:03:37,960 --> 01:03:41,840 Speaker 1: made Gardner Minshew last year. I mean Minshew had those 1287 01:03:41,840 --> 01:03:46,920 Speaker 1: guys on the doorstep. This Richardson thing, It's like he 1288 01:03:47,000 --> 01:03:49,840 Speaker 1: may be a remarkable player, but staffs matter. I mean, 1289 01:03:50,000 --> 01:03:53,000 Speaker 1: Malik Willis in the first half with Lafleur in that 1290 01:03:53,080 --> 01:03:55,400 Speaker 1: culture looked better than he ever did in Tennessee. I 1291 01:03:55,400 --> 01:03:57,760 Speaker 1: mean Tennessee gave up on that guy for about two games. 1292 01:03:58,960 --> 01:04:00,600 Speaker 1: He looked like, oh he could. 1293 01:04:00,760 --> 01:04:03,240 Speaker 3: He were good. I gave got credit. He was good. 1294 01:04:03,720 --> 01:04:07,920 Speaker 1: So now Shane Steichen's had an entire off season with 1295 01:04:10,240 --> 01:04:14,600 Speaker 1: Anthony Richardson that was a mess. He looked lost. 1296 01:04:15,480 --> 01:04:17,320 Speaker 3: I do think what's scary is I think if you 1297 01:04:17,360 --> 01:04:20,040 Speaker 3: look at every you know, the highest level of sports, 1298 01:04:20,120 --> 01:04:22,400 Speaker 3: right just because you throw one hundred and two miles 1299 01:04:22,400 --> 01:04:24,040 Speaker 3: an hour, you could have the best pitching coach, he 1300 01:04:24,120 --> 01:04:27,360 Speaker 3: might not teach you how to throw strikes. You could be, 1301 01:04:27,680 --> 01:04:29,800 Speaker 3: you know, the most talented guy in the NBA, and 1302 01:04:29,840 --> 01:04:31,880 Speaker 3: you could get Chip England, the shooting coach, and he 1303 01:04:32,000 --> 01:04:35,600 Speaker 3: just can't help you out to make you know open shots. 1304 01:04:36,240 --> 01:04:38,640 Speaker 3: I do think in football, for every Josh Allen and 1305 01:04:38,720 --> 01:04:42,160 Speaker 3: guys that are able to improve their accuracy historically speaking, 1306 01:04:42,200 --> 01:04:44,240 Speaker 3: there are way more examples of guys that are just 1307 01:04:44,360 --> 01:04:47,720 Speaker 3: all over the map and right now, whether it's like 1308 01:04:47,800 --> 01:04:50,120 Speaker 3: we talked about Sam Darnold, it was way too sped 1309 01:04:50,200 --> 01:04:52,600 Speaker 3: up early on in his career, had a small You 1310 01:04:52,640 --> 01:04:55,120 Speaker 3: watch him, he is kind of set at times and 1311 01:04:55,160 --> 01:04:58,360 Speaker 3: the ball just flies. Yes, I mean like he has 1312 01:04:58,560 --> 01:05:03,320 Speaker 3: no he has no clue where it's going. You're like, oh, 1313 01:05:03,360 --> 01:05:05,320 Speaker 3: I don't know what you can do as a coach 1314 01:05:05,800 --> 01:05:07,680 Speaker 3: to fix that level of wells. 1315 01:05:08,000 --> 01:05:11,360 Speaker 1: Think about this, Malik Willis as Malik Willis as a 1316 01:05:11,360 --> 01:05:16,000 Speaker 1: spot starter, they had a forty minute to nineteen minute 1317 01:05:16,040 --> 01:05:19,360 Speaker 1: time of possession advantage with Shane Steikn. 1318 01:05:20,000 --> 01:05:22,600 Speaker 3: I mean, well, because when you're that inaccurate, you're gonna 1319 01:05:22,640 --> 01:05:24,560 Speaker 3: you're gonna give up plays. You're not gonna roll any time. 1320 01:05:24,600 --> 01:05:27,640 Speaker 1: Okay, So just look at the accuracy of Herbert as 1321 01:05:27,640 --> 01:05:30,280 Speaker 1: a rookie and Hurts as a young player, and we 1322 01:05:30,280 --> 01:05:33,000 Speaker 1: don't think the Packers defense is great. Shit, Philadelphia ran. 1323 01:05:32,960 --> 01:05:35,440 Speaker 2: Up and down like, oh, they looked terrible, terrible. 1324 01:05:36,080 --> 01:05:39,040 Speaker 1: He threw the ball thirty four times, he completed fifty percent, 1325 01:05:39,240 --> 01:05:42,480 Speaker 1: he had three picks, and he looked lost. So this 1326 01:05:42,520 --> 01:05:45,960 Speaker 1: is one of those things where Steiken has made every 1327 01:05:46,040 --> 01:05:49,440 Speaker 1: quarter he's taken, every quarterback he's had, and now I 1328 01:05:49,440 --> 01:05:52,840 Speaker 1: think Herbert will become what he was. With him, He's 1329 01:05:52,880 --> 01:05:57,840 Speaker 1: made everybody better. He had an off season like I 1330 01:05:57,920 --> 01:05:59,720 Speaker 1: wants that today, and I'm like, Malik Willis has better 1331 01:05:59,720 --> 01:06:02,800 Speaker 1: than that Richard at least. 1332 01:06:01,320 --> 01:06:05,080 Speaker 3: Yeah, in all interceptions like you were saying earlier, are 1333 01:06:05,160 --> 01:06:07,720 Speaker 3: not the same, Like Dak and Goff threw someone bad 1334 01:06:07,760 --> 01:06:09,960 Speaker 3: games off over the middle of the field, Like it's 1335 01:06:10,000 --> 01:06:12,680 Speaker 3: gonna happen. Those guys whatever, I still have faith in 1336 01:06:12,720 --> 01:06:15,000 Speaker 3: them over the course of the year. This is a 1337 01:06:15,040 --> 01:06:17,440 Speaker 3: guy that if you're like, hey, you can jump off 1338 01:06:17,440 --> 01:06:19,800 Speaker 3: the bandwagon right now, I think you'd have to lean 1339 01:06:19,880 --> 01:06:23,840 Speaker 3: that way. I guess it's possible to correct it. It 1340 01:06:23,840 --> 01:06:25,960 Speaker 3: feels like it would be have to be a pretty 1341 01:06:26,000 --> 01:06:29,000 Speaker 3: hard correction on this player. Because the other thing is 1342 01:06:29,080 --> 01:06:32,680 Speaker 3: Jalen people question like his arm strength and his past, 1343 01:06:32,800 --> 01:06:35,000 Speaker 3: but he did have Like this guy played for Saban, 1344 01:06:35,320 --> 01:06:38,200 Speaker 3: then he went to Lincoln Riley Gardner Minshew had already 1345 01:06:38,240 --> 01:06:40,160 Speaker 3: been a starter in the NFL. That this guy has 1346 01:06:40,200 --> 01:06:43,320 Speaker 3: a very limited track record in college and the pros 1347 01:06:43,760 --> 01:06:46,240 Speaker 3: and accuracy was a huge question mark. And the other 1348 01:06:46,280 --> 01:06:49,560 Speaker 3: thing you see is Jalen does have touch, like he's 1349 01:06:49,600 --> 01:06:52,760 Speaker 3: a great deep ball thrower down the sideline. This guy 1350 01:06:52,800 --> 01:06:56,360 Speaker 3: has no change up. Everything is going at warp speed. 1351 01:06:56,400 --> 01:06:59,000 Speaker 3: And when everything's going at warp speed, it is very 1352 01:06:59,040 --> 01:07:01,840 Speaker 3: difficult to be considered an accurate quarterback. And the other 1353 01:07:01,880 --> 01:07:04,480 Speaker 3: thing is Paul's fly off. Guy's hands go up in 1354 01:07:04,520 --> 01:07:07,240 Speaker 3: the air and usually a safety is behind your offensive player. 1355 01:07:07,280 --> 01:07:08,800 Speaker 3: It's gonna lead to a lot of This guy could 1356 01:07:08,840 --> 01:07:11,800 Speaker 3: easily lead the league interceptions this season, I would I 1357 01:07:11,800 --> 01:07:13,080 Speaker 3: would say he's the betting favorite. 1358 01:07:13,160 --> 01:07:15,760 Speaker 1: Well, and as we talket Green Bay Colts, I think 1359 01:07:15,800 --> 01:07:19,360 Speaker 1: the one thing that I've really noticed is, you know, 1360 01:07:19,360 --> 01:07:22,320 Speaker 1: you always have to be careful. The grass is always greener, 1361 01:07:23,000 --> 01:07:24,920 Speaker 1: and you know Aaron's seeing it. 1362 01:07:24,960 --> 01:07:25,240 Speaker 3: Now. 1363 01:07:25,360 --> 01:07:27,880 Speaker 1: You go from Matt Lafleur to Matt Hackett. You know, 1364 01:07:28,000 --> 01:07:30,560 Speaker 1: you go from the Packers always have a stable offensive 1365 01:07:30,560 --> 01:07:31,760 Speaker 1: line to the Jets. 1366 01:07:31,480 --> 01:07:32,400 Speaker 2: Kind of makeshift. 1367 01:07:32,840 --> 01:07:35,800 Speaker 1: You go from no owner stability, Mark Murphy to the 1368 01:07:35,880 --> 01:07:40,080 Speaker 1: Jets impulsive ownership. Is I think Matt Lafleur got a 1369 01:07:40,080 --> 01:07:43,280 Speaker 1: little lost because you know, McCarthy won a Super Bowl 1370 01:07:43,320 --> 01:07:45,560 Speaker 1: and then he takes over and he had some playoff 1371 01:07:45,600 --> 01:07:48,880 Speaker 1: struggles and we always lump those on Matt Lafleur. That's 1372 01:07:48,880 --> 01:07:51,840 Speaker 1: why you're losing in the playoffs. Matt Lafleur, I gotta 1373 01:07:51,880 --> 01:07:54,600 Speaker 1: tell you, I'm watching Jordan Love at the end of 1374 01:07:54,680 --> 01:07:58,480 Speaker 1: last year and I'm watching Malik Willis today, and those 1375 01:07:58,480 --> 01:08:01,200 Speaker 1: guys are both talented. But Jordan Love last year to 1376 01:08:01,200 --> 01:08:03,680 Speaker 1: start the season, John was raw, like he looked like 1377 01:08:03,720 --> 01:08:07,880 Speaker 1: he just wasn't what Jordan Love went from I mean 1378 01:08:08,040 --> 01:08:11,920 Speaker 1: really bad to like an MVP over the course of 1379 01:08:11,960 --> 01:08:14,640 Speaker 1: the season, like you you know, you know, you don't 1380 01:08:14,640 --> 01:08:17,200 Speaker 1: get an off season. You're in the middle of it. 1381 01:08:17,880 --> 01:08:20,479 Speaker 1: Malik Willis today and again, maybe I'm making too much. 1382 01:08:20,520 --> 01:08:23,040 Speaker 1: That'll be the only game he starts, but I was like, shit, 1383 01:08:23,160 --> 01:08:24,880 Speaker 1: he's totally under control. 1384 01:08:26,560 --> 01:08:28,200 Speaker 3: The other thing is this is not a player that 1385 01:08:28,360 --> 01:08:30,400 Speaker 3: was with them in OTA's and training camp. They traded 1386 01:08:30,400 --> 01:08:31,800 Speaker 3: for him at the end of the fifty three man. 1387 01:08:31,960 --> 01:08:32,479 Speaker 2: That's right. 1388 01:08:33,360 --> 01:08:36,160 Speaker 3: You could argue through two weeks the most impressive win 1389 01:08:36,200 --> 01:08:39,559 Speaker 3: of the season is Matt Lafleur winning a game with 1390 01:08:39,640 --> 01:08:42,600 Speaker 3: Malik Willis. I would say that's an incredible accomplished. 1391 01:08:42,200 --> 01:08:45,519 Speaker 1: Incredible and I think we've all because they struggled last 1392 01:08:45,520 --> 01:08:47,439 Speaker 1: couple of years with Aaron in the playoffs, I. 1393 01:08:47,479 --> 01:08:49,320 Speaker 2: Think he took the hit on that. 1394 01:08:49,880 --> 01:08:51,800 Speaker 1: But I always feel with Aaron, and this is not 1395 01:08:51,880 --> 01:08:54,040 Speaker 1: disrespectful Aaron, but Aaron was going to blow him off 1396 01:08:54,080 --> 01:08:55,679 Speaker 1: on certain play. Aaron's gonna do what Aaron. 1397 01:08:55,520 --> 01:08:55,880 Speaker 2: Wants to do. 1398 01:08:55,920 --> 01:08:57,800 Speaker 1: So it was a fifty to fifty offense. I mean, 1399 01:08:58,280 --> 01:09:00,160 Speaker 1: Aaron's coachable, but he was gonna do what he want 1400 01:09:00,280 --> 01:09:00,439 Speaker 1: to do. 1401 01:09:01,560 --> 01:09:01,760 Speaker 2: You know. 1402 01:09:02,360 --> 01:09:05,400 Speaker 3: Matt wanted him to play under center in the Shanahan 1403 01:09:05,479 --> 01:09:07,960 Speaker 3: offense to give him a lot of layups, and Aaron 1404 01:09:08,000 --> 01:09:09,799 Speaker 3: fought against it because he loved being in the shotgun, 1405 01:09:09,880 --> 01:09:11,559 Speaker 3: like you said, and seeing everything. And they kind of 1406 01:09:11,600 --> 01:09:13,040 Speaker 3: met in the middle, and what happened. He started to 1407 01:09:13,040 --> 01:09:16,040 Speaker 3: win MVPs. Matt Ryan pushed against it early on because 1408 01:09:16,040 --> 01:09:18,599 Speaker 3: you turn your back once you get comfortable shooting fish 1409 01:09:18,640 --> 01:09:21,080 Speaker 3: in a barrel for those type guys. But Aaron loved 1410 01:09:21,080 --> 01:09:23,360 Speaker 3: doing his thing in the shotgun and now he can 1411 01:09:23,439 --> 01:09:26,240 Speaker 3: just run his offense. But today I don't even he 1412 01:09:26,400 --> 01:09:29,800 Speaker 3: just to corral Malik Willis with probably less than ten 1413 01:09:29,840 --> 01:09:32,760 Speaker 3: to twelve plays. I mean, it's just I don't care 1414 01:09:32,800 --> 01:09:34,720 Speaker 3: how bad the Colts are on defense. What a win 1415 01:09:34,760 --> 01:09:35,519 Speaker 3: for the package, I. 1416 01:09:35,479 --> 01:09:37,960 Speaker 1: Know, huge win, you know, I almost look at that 1417 01:09:38,000 --> 01:09:40,600 Speaker 1: Brazil game with the and I'm just like, okay, the 1418 01:09:40,640 --> 01:09:43,519 Speaker 1: youngest team in the league went to Brazil. They stayed 1419 01:09:43,560 --> 01:09:45,920 Speaker 1: like two hours away from the stadium. Was like, I 1420 01:09:45,920 --> 01:09:46,920 Speaker 1: don't even count that. 1421 01:09:47,800 --> 01:09:49,760 Speaker 3: It just matters how quick they You know, is Jordan 1422 01:09:49,800 --> 01:09:51,519 Speaker 3: Love going to miss a month? Is he able to 1423 01:09:51,560 --> 01:09:53,680 Speaker 3: come back in a week? You know? I mean they 1424 01:09:53,960 --> 01:09:56,720 Speaker 3: kind of slow played us this week. Clearly he wasn't 1425 01:09:56,760 --> 01:09:58,960 Speaker 3: gonna play, But is he Is he closer to being 1426 01:09:59,000 --> 01:10:01,080 Speaker 3: ready next week or is he a month away? Like 1427 01:10:01,360 --> 01:10:03,160 Speaker 3: if they can get them back in two or three 1428 01:10:03,200 --> 01:10:06,439 Speaker 3: weeks and just go five hundred with Malik Willis, they'd 1429 01:10:06,479 --> 01:10:08,160 Speaker 3: be off and running and you'd be like, oh, yeah, 1430 01:10:08,240 --> 01:10:09,640 Speaker 3: they were like at the beginning of the season. I 1431 01:10:09,680 --> 01:10:10,920 Speaker 3: like them to be in the playoffs. 1432 01:10:11,520 --> 01:10:14,040 Speaker 1: On more NFL Scout, his podcast is three and out. 1433 01:10:14,560 --> 01:10:17,920 Speaker 1: He's as good as they get.

Like guy had to go like, yeah, 1439 01:10:31,920 --> 01:10:33,720 Speaker 3: I'm just not gonna watch the Browns and Jacks, right 1440 01:10:33,720 --> 01:10:36,479 Speaker 3: now I don't need to. There's just too many games 1441 01:10:36,479 --> 01:10:37,280 Speaker 3: going on in the morning. 1442 01:10:37,360 --> 01:10:40,679 Speaker 1: No. I mean that Washington, New York was actually wildly entertaining, 1443 01:10:40,680 --> 01:10:42,920 Speaker 1: but I had that on I can't pay attention to 1444 01:10:43,120 --> 01:10:50,120 Speaker 1: it all right, Buddy, thanks so much for listening.
