Chiefs win and now 25 00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:53,480 Speaker 1: I mean there's a chance I guess that the Bills lose, 26 00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:55,520 Speaker 1: they could host a playoff game, but I would guess, 27 00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:58,520 Speaker 1: as we're sitting here today, they will go to the Bills, 28 00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:01,760 Speaker 1: which would be a great second game. And the Dolphins 29 00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:05,240 Speaker 1: are calling it quits, and we'll discuss, well, they got 30 00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:07,720 Speaker 1: a major problem because they got to pay the quarterback 31 00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:10,840 Speaker 1: in theory, he saw a night like, how's he beating 32 00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:13,679 Speaker 1: any of these cold weather quarterbacks? The first game the 33 00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:19,160 Speaker 1: Houston Texans Dimico Ryans and CJ. Stroud destroy the Browns. 34 00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:23,920 Speaker 1: Oh my god. The Joe Flacco Disney movie came to 35 00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:26,960 Speaker 1: a crashing halt tonight. And then we will hit on 36 00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:29,680 Speaker 1: a couple other things. The Bills game was moved. Antonio 37 00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:33,640 Speaker 1: Pierce now the favorite to get the Raider job. Kaylin 38 00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:37,440 Speaker 1: duboor I watched some of his introductory press conference with 39 00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:40,639 Speaker 1: the Alabama Crimson Tide.

Well, Well, well, 66 00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:05,840 Speaker 1: sometimes in life we overcomplicate things. And listen, it's part 67 00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:09,720 Speaker 1: of sports, especially when it comes to football. You have, 68 00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:12,880 Speaker 1: you know, six seven days between games. You got a 69 00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:15,520 Speaker 1: lot of time to think and sometimes, you know, the 70 00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:19,200 Speaker 1: old saying is paralysis by analysis. I think that can 71 00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:23,520 Speaker 1: happen sometimes, and tonight I think most of us, if 72 00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:27,920 Speaker 1: you're not a Dolphin fan, all came to the same conclusion. Yes, 73 00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:31,920 Speaker 1: it was difficult for this Chiefs team to score this year. 74 00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:36,479 Speaker 1: Yes it does not look like the teams of yesteryear. 75 00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:41,200 Speaker 1: Definitely of not of the early mahomes Andy run. But 76 00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:45,280 Speaker 1: under no circumstances could I see once the weather report 77 00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:47,480 Speaker 1: came out. When I first got hired in the NFL 78 00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:51,960 Speaker 1: in twenty ten, one of my jobs during the game 79 00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:56,800 Speaker 1: week Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday and even Friday, they 80 00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:59,240 Speaker 1: get out a little early. I would print out, I 81 00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:02,919 Speaker 1: mean there's a little old weather dot com the projected 82 00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:05,520 Speaker 1: weather for Sunday or Monday or Thursday, depending on the 83 00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:08,480 Speaker 1: day we were playing, and drop them off to Obviously 84 00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:12,360 Speaker 1: the coordinator and coach read. But every coach the projected weather, 85 00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:14,760 Speaker 1: so obviously the weather. And we played in a cold 86 00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:17,479 Speaker 1: weather city. I mean, the weather is a huge part 87 00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:20,320 Speaker 1: of the sport of football, right, let's use you know 88 00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:25,359 Speaker 1: the NBA for example, zero impact, right, none even in 89 00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:28,120 Speaker 1: baseball for the most part, depending on where you are, 90 00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:31,120 Speaker 1: it can impact you a little. In October, depending on 91 00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:35,960 Speaker 1: the team button football, it's freezing cold where I am, 92 00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:39,760 Speaker 1: it's fifty degrees. I watched that tonight eating dinner with 93 00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:43,400 Speaker 1: my girlfriend thinking, we talked about this. How much would 94 00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:46,200 Speaker 1: I have to pay you? We joked about was it 95 00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:49,240 Speaker 1: the Panther Falcon game? Yeah, it was how much I 96 00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:51,800 Speaker 1: would have to pay someone to attend that game? Remember 97 00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:55,560 Speaker 1: driving Rainstorm, two of the most boring teams in the league, 98 00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:59,440 Speaker 1: and you know everyone had their different number. Like, I 99 00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:02,279 Speaker 1: don't know now, listen, I hate the cold. I don't 100 00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:04,039 Speaker 1: know the amount of money you could pay me to 101 00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:06,240 Speaker 1: attend that, but I do know the amount of money. 102 00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:08,640 Speaker 1: The Chiefs paid Patrick Mahomes and they gave him four 103 00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:11,400 Speaker 1: hundred and fifty million dollars. And with a guy like that, 104 00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:15,200 Speaker 1: regardless how much quote unquote, is guaranteed, he's gonna see 105 00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:18,719 Speaker 1: every penny. And you saw to night he's worth every penny, 106 00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:21,839 Speaker 1: because I thought to night he looked pretty normal, like 107 00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:24,119 Speaker 1: even some of the drops on some of the deeper 108 00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:27,360 Speaker 1: balls when the wide receivers clearly got a little confused 109 00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:30,440 Speaker 1: by the wind, the ball landed at their fucking feet. 110 00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:34,520 Speaker 1: I mean, the balls were right there. You watched him 111 00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:38,080 Speaker 1: the night and he went, that's a superstar, and you 112 00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:40,479 Speaker 1: watched the other guy, which we'll get into in a 113 00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:43,159 Speaker 1: little bit, and being like, you have no chance to 114 00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:47,480 Speaker 1: win this game, but in that conference, right, you have 115 00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:50,200 Speaker 1: to be able to play outside. Obviously, Patrick is the 116 00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:55,080 Speaker 1: quarterback for a team that plays in frigid conditions, the 117 00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:58,240 Speaker 1: AFC North, which is gonna be good for a while. Steelers, 118 00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:02,880 Speaker 1: the Ravens, the Bengals, and the Browns all outdoor, all 119 00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:07,040 Speaker 1: core cold. The Bills have a superstar quarterback which the 120 00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:09,800 Speaker 1: Chiefs are probably gonna go to next year. Literally, the 121 00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:13,120 Speaker 1: game just got delayed because of weather freezing cold. They 122 00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:15,840 Speaker 1: ain't going away. If Drod Mayo knows what he's doing 123 00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:17,920 Speaker 1: in the Patriots, can you figure out a quarterback? That 124 00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:20,360 Speaker 1: place is cold. Obviously the Jets, if they ever win 125 00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:22,160 Speaker 1: enough games to make it the playoffs, I would never 126 00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:24,920 Speaker 1: bet on that cold place. The AFC is a cold 127 00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:27,640 Speaker 1: place to play. You have to be able to play 128 00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:31,400 Speaker 1: outside in the elements and mahomes. Like before him, Brady 129 00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:35,880 Speaker 1: Forever has proven over and over and over again that 130 00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:39,880 Speaker 1: he can't like tonight scheme. None of it mattered. It 131 00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:42,000 Speaker 1: was gonna be ugly. Even when it was sixteen to 132 00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:43,960 Speaker 1: seven and a half. I had a buddy text me like, uh, 133 00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:47,480 Speaker 1: they had to settle for some butt cerfield goals. It's 134 00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:50,120 Speaker 1: gonna hurt them. No, it's not. This is not a 135 00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:54,200 Speaker 1: game in the middle of October. This is middle of January. 136 00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:56,640 Speaker 1: No one can feel any fucking part of their body. 137 00:07:57,080 --> 00:07:59,560 Speaker 1: None of these field goals are gonna hurt them. Miami. 138 00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:03,040 Speaker 1: I would have bet fifty thousand dollars that Miami wasn't 139 00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:06,840 Speaker 1: gonna sniff seventeen points at halftime, So no big up 140 00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:10,000 Speaker 1: sixteen and seven. I'd argue the game was over at halftime. 141 00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:12,480 Speaker 1: I felt really good in the Chiefs, so they just 142 00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:14,680 Speaker 1: got like one more field goal. The Dolphins don't have 143 00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:17,680 Speaker 1: a snowballs chance in hell to win this game, because 144 00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:21,720 Speaker 1: in these conditions, this isn't normal football. I interned for 145 00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:24,040 Speaker 1: Kansas City before I went to work at Fresno State 146 00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:26,840 Speaker 1: my senior year in college, and I ended up driving 147 00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:30,840 Speaker 1: home back to Davis, California with my dad around around 148 00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:33,120 Speaker 1: Christmas time. He came to pick me up. I did 149 00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:37,240 Speaker 1: like a quarter internship, and right the day before we left, 150 00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:39,400 Speaker 1: it was Sunday, we went to like one of the 151 00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:43,080 Speaker 1: last games of the season, and I got field passes. 152 00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:44,920 Speaker 1: My brother came out as well. I think he ended 153 00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:47,600 Speaker 1: up flying back and I remember taking them down to 154 00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:50,440 Speaker 1: the sidelines and in the corner of the end zone. 155 00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:52,240 Speaker 1: And they mentioned this tonight on the broadcast. I know 156 00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:54,840 Speaker 1: everyone hates listening to Jason Garrett and listen, I'm not 157 00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:56,720 Speaker 1: a huge fan either, but I refuse to bitch and 158 00:08:56,760 --> 00:09:00,000 Speaker 1: moan about Peacock and Jason Garrett. It is what it is. 159 00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:03,440 Speaker 1: They hired Drew Brees for this role. He was terrible, 160 00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:06,560 Speaker 1: They fired him, and now we're here, Like, I'm not 161 00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:09,880 Speaker 1: gonna get up in arms about the NBC executives who 162 00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:12,120 Speaker 1: are bad at their job. We have to watch Jason Garrett. 163 00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:14,600 Speaker 1: It is what it is. For some reason, Mike Tarrico 164 00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:19,880 Speaker 1: can do a doubleheader, Collinsworth cannot. This is obviously contractual obligations. 165 00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:23,000 Speaker 1: NBC is losing money by the day. Literally they are. 166 00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:24,599 Speaker 1: They're about to cut a bunch of staff in the 167 00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:27,880 Speaker 1: NBC News. But that's a conversation. I'm not gonna waste 168 00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:30,240 Speaker 1: my time here. But I remember taking them down and 169 00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:33,120 Speaker 1: they were like, is the field frozen? And I forget 170 00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:35,200 Speaker 1: the exact date. It might have been like December twentieth 171 00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:39,600 Speaker 1: somewhere around there. It was so cold, and you have 172 00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:42,079 Speaker 1: the ability to function in that Like, listen, the Chiefs 173 00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:44,720 Speaker 1: have been built this season to play ugly. They can 174 00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:48,160 Speaker 1: run the ball with Pajaco, their defense is feisty, and 175 00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:50,839 Speaker 1: never forget, they have one of the greatest quarterbacks we've 176 00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:53,000 Speaker 1: ever seen. Oh yeah, they also have one of the 177 00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:57,439 Speaker 1: greatest head coaches we've ever seen. So tonight, watching them 178 00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:00,920 Speaker 1: strangle Miami out in the first half enough in a 179 00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:04,079 Speaker 1: cold Fridger game was the least shocking thing I think 180 00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:06,920 Speaker 1: we're gonna see all week. Honestly, if you told me 181 00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:10,079 Speaker 1: the Packers beat the Cowboys. That is less shocking than 182 00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:12,600 Speaker 1: what we witness tonight. If you told me the Steelers 183 00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:16,720 Speaker 1: like Warren Najie Harris run for a buck eighty and 184 00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:19,640 Speaker 1: their defense creates some shit and Josh is off like, 185 00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:23,280 Speaker 1: it'd be shocking, but not more than what we just like, 186 00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:28,000 Speaker 1: what we just witnessed was always gonna happen. And listen, 187 00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:30,320 Speaker 1: the Chiefs are gonna be a tough out now. I 188 00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:33,959 Speaker 1: don't think this changes that much from what we've seen. 189 00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:39,080 Speaker 1: Like they're playing an opponent that was obviously inferior. We've 190 00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:42,160 Speaker 1: talked about Miami being a giant fugazi. They've beaten no 191 00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:46,199 Speaker 1: one except the Cowboys and they definitely can't function outside. 192 00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:48,920 Speaker 1: But like the Chiefs are used to playing in this game, 193 00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:51,760 Speaker 1: if they can play Buffalo or they can play Baltimore 194 00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:55,640 Speaker 1: and the game's ugly, they're gonna have a chance. If 195 00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:58,000 Speaker 1: you get into, you know, a shootout, They're obviously gonna 196 00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:00,520 Speaker 1: be in some trouble if their defense isn't playing well. 197 00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:04,360 Speaker 1: But this team, whenever you are playing all time greats, 198 00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:08,720 Speaker 1: and that's what mahomes and that's what Andy are, it's 199 00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:11,440 Speaker 1: not gonna be easy in a playoff scenario. Now they're 200 00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:14,080 Speaker 1: gonna have to go on the road next week, you know, 201 00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:18,000 Speaker 1: for the potentially I guess. You know, if if Buffalo 202 00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:20,199 Speaker 1: were to lose, they mentioned this, they could host the 203 00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:23,320 Speaker 1: Houston Texans, which would be I mean, I mean, talk 204 00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:25,680 Speaker 1: about a gift. I have a hard time seeing that. Like, 205 00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:27,800 Speaker 1: I expect them to go to Buffalo, and I think 206 00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:29,480 Speaker 1: a lot of people, depending on how it looks with 207 00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:31,080 Speaker 1: the Buffalo and the Steelers, are going to pick the 208 00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:35,400 Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills. I probably will too, but not I will 209 00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:37,960 Speaker 1: not look at the game like this, and I, by 210 00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:41,880 Speaker 1: no means will feel confident in picking the Bills. But 211 00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:46,360 Speaker 1: this Chiefs team, man is called championship blood. When I 212 00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:48,720 Speaker 1: lived in the Bay Area and the Giants were rattling 213 00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:52,439 Speaker 1: off World Series, they weren't always the best team. They 214 00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:55,520 Speaker 1: weren't always the hottest team entering the playoffs, but they 215 00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:58,280 Speaker 1: knew how to win when it mattered the most. They 216 00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:00,880 Speaker 1: knew how to win when they're starting Pitcher was off. 217 00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:03,319 Speaker 1: Just like the Chiefs. They know how to win when 218 00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:06,200 Speaker 1: it's fucking negative ten. They know how to win when 219 00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:09,520 Speaker 1: regardless who they're playing. Why they've played them all at 220 00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:12,560 Speaker 1: this point in time. So fantastic win by the Chiefs. 221 00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:15,080 Speaker 1: And I think the big picture question you have with 222 00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:17,480 Speaker 1: your the Miami Dolphins. You have one of the best 223 00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:20,000 Speaker 1: defensive coordinators in the NFL, in Vic Fangio. You had 224 00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:22,880 Speaker 1: a million injuries. Listen, it can't get any worse than this. 225 00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:27,440 Speaker 1: Mike McDaniel is proven to be an excellent offensive head coach. 226 00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:30,360 Speaker 1: But you have a quarterback that if you have to 227 00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:37,000 Speaker 1: play Mahomes and Arrowhead Burrow in Cincinnati, Lamar in Baltimore, 228 00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:41,000 Speaker 1: and Josh Allen in Buffalo, you're not gonna win. He 229 00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:43,920 Speaker 1: can't play in those conditions. And I was thinking watching tonight, 230 00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:48,240 Speaker 1: how is anyone shock born and raised in Hawaii. I 231 00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:50,880 Speaker 1: don't know about you. I've been to Hawaii ten plus 232 00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:54,640 Speaker 1: times in my life. It's beautiful. It's hot all the time. 233 00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:59,080 Speaker 1: Even when it rains, it's still warm. It's, in my opinion, 234 00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:01,800 Speaker 1: one of the most beautiful play in the world. It 235 00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:06,120 Speaker 1: ain't cold. He went to Alabama, also not cold, and 236 00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:08,960 Speaker 1: now he lives in Miami. So you're telling me a 237 00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:13,079 Speaker 1: guy that has spent his entire life in warm weather conditions, 238 00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:20,560 Speaker 1: who has an average arm can't play well in inclement conditions. Stunned, shocked. 239 00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:24,040 Speaker 1: Here's the problem for the Dolphins, though he's going into 240 00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:27,160 Speaker 1: his fifth year. Like all those guys got paid after 241 00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:30,240 Speaker 1: their third, they didn't pay to it yet. Now Tua 242 00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:32,160 Speaker 1: did well enough this year where it's like, how are 243 00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:35,600 Speaker 1: you gonna upgrade? You can't really, But when his reps 244 00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:37,960 Speaker 1: call you this offseason and want one hundred and eighty 245 00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:40,959 Speaker 1: one hundred and seventy one hundred and ninety million dollars guaranteed, 246 00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:44,440 Speaker 1: you'd have to think to yourself, how can our guy 247 00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:49,560 Speaker 1: outplay those guys who are all paid a shitload of 248 00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:53,480 Speaker 1: money and can all excel in cold weather? How can 249 00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:57,400 Speaker 1: we ever go in those inclement conditions and win a game? 250 00:13:57,640 --> 00:14:00,240 Speaker 1: Because more than likely, even if we have a good year, okay, 251 00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:02,040 Speaker 1: one year we have the number one seed and we 252 00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:05,000 Speaker 1: host the games, but clearly you're gonna be three seed, 253 00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:07,240 Speaker 1: the four seed, the five seed. You're gonna have to 254 00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:10,400 Speaker 1: go on the road and beat these teams in really 255 00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:13,679 Speaker 1: cold weather. And you watch that guy tonight and he 256 00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:17,319 Speaker 1: did not have a chance. His one touchdown pass was 257 00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:21,520 Speaker 1: an absolute prayer that Tyreek had to turn around, get 258 00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:25,040 Speaker 1: past interferenced on catch it like Willie Mays do a 259 00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:28,040 Speaker 1: three to sixty, go run another guy and score that 260 00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:31,680 Speaker 1: was their only touchdown. Like listen, I'm not some too 261 00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:35,040 Speaker 1: a hater. He's a high character guy. He's a solid player. 262 00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:37,800 Speaker 1: He'd be awesome if you played for the Arizona Cardinals 263 00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:40,320 Speaker 1: or even the forty nine ers of the Rams. When 264 00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:44,400 Speaker 1: you play in the AFC, the road to the super 265 00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:46,760 Speaker 1: Bowl and the road just to win a playoff game 266 00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:51,440 Speaker 1: more than likely is gonna be frigid temperatures against Josh 267 00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:58,760 Speaker 1: Allen Mahomes, huge arms, Burrow proven to play well outside Lamar, 268 00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:03,400 Speaker 1: who is infinitely more talented than Tua. How's he ever 269 00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:07,480 Speaker 1: beating those guys? So these conversations are gonna happen and 270 00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:10,560 Speaker 1: literally the next month. I mean, we're not that far 271 00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:12,600 Speaker 1: away from the super Bowl being over, and the combine 272 00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:14,600 Speaker 1: is right here in free agencies, right around the corner. 273 00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:17,600 Speaker 1: I'll promise you who wants to get paid Tua in 274 00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:21,200 Speaker 1: his representation, how can I pay you? Now? I could 275 00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:24,480 Speaker 1: pay you, you know, twenty five thirty million dollars a year, 276 00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:26,440 Speaker 1: but that's not what they're gonna be asking for. You're 277 00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:28,080 Speaker 1: talking about a guy who's gonna asking for forty five 278 00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:31,600 Speaker 1: to fifty million dollars a year the moment I pay 279 00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:32,920 Speaker 1: you that, well, can you go toe to toe with 280 00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:35,440 Speaker 1: the other forty five to fifty million dollars a year quarterbacks? 281 00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:37,400 Speaker 1: I watch you tonight. Now I know he's one of 282 00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:39,720 Speaker 1: the greatest players of all time. He was in a 283 00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:44,360 Speaker 1: different universe than you, in a different world. So I I, 284 00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:46,840 Speaker 1: how can I do that? No, I'm It's not like 285 00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:48,800 Speaker 1: I'm gonna cut you or get rid of you, because 286 00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:51,400 Speaker 1: how do I upgrade? But they got a problem on 287 00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:56,160 Speaker 1: their hands. Really good coaches, some really good players, but 288 00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:59,000 Speaker 1: their quarterback kind of puts them in no man's land 289 00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:02,320 Speaker 1: because throughout the season he's good. He's fine. Now he 290 00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:04,800 Speaker 1: gets out played in different spots against the best teams 291 00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:07,880 Speaker 1: for the most part, but he's does well enough in 292 00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:10,720 Speaker 1: those games. So like, keep your head high. It really 293 00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:13,800 Speaker 1: got exposed tonight. And when you play in the AFC, 294 00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:16,160 Speaker 1: unlike the NFC, Like think about the NFCS, like where 295 00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:22,000 Speaker 1: you gotta go, Dallas Dome, Detroit Dome, San Jose, California, 296 00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:29,600 Speaker 1: sixty degrees, no rain, sun. AFC is like Kansas City, frostbite, Buffalo, 297 00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:34,520 Speaker 1: everyone dies of an avalanche. I mean, think about these Baltimore, 298 00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:42,320 Speaker 1: frigid rain, sleet's like two different worlds. So I think 299 00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:45,920 Speaker 1: Miami man has I'm not trying to shoot on the 300 00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:48,440 Speaker 1: guy like I'm not some hater. He's better than I 301 00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:50,920 Speaker 1: thought he would be. Never been the biggest fan. He's 302 00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:53,280 Speaker 1: better I thought he would be. But I can't play 303 00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:56,200 Speaker 1: with the weak arm quarterback in this conference. I can't 304 00:16:56,240 --> 00:16:59,240 Speaker 1: do it. And you could argue even next year not 305 00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:01,760 Speaker 1: buying into the But let's just say they improve a little. 306 00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:04,920 Speaker 1: Rogers comes back, Patriots just kind of get their shit 307 00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:07,399 Speaker 1: together a little bit on offense. Obviously, the Bills are 308 00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:10,119 Speaker 1: going nowhere. This might have been your best season to 309 00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:11,680 Speaker 1: win the division. I mean, at one point in time, 310 00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:13,840 Speaker 1: four or five weeks ago, the Bills building was on fire. 311 00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:16,640 Speaker 1: Now they ended up winning it. It's like, I don't know, man, 312 00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:19,560 Speaker 1: I'm not offering a solution year because they don't have one. 313 00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:21,919 Speaker 1: They find themselves in the worst spot to be in 314 00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:26,120 Speaker 1: the NFL. It's really easy when you're the Texans last year, 315 00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:29,320 Speaker 1: need a quarterback, Panthers last year need a quarterback. Right 316 00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:33,240 Speaker 1: this year, Washington, New England, you need a quarterback. It's 317 00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:36,160 Speaker 1: a no brainer. It's hard to win you're in Miami, right, 318 00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:39,960 Speaker 1: It's hard to do sometimes that kind of crazy, cutthroat move. 319 00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:42,600 Speaker 1: I think you gotta think long and hard about just 320 00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:46,400 Speaker 1: all my options because I could not give two up. 321 00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:50,679 Speaker 1: Hundreds of millions of dollars, could not do it. And 322 00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:54,320 Speaker 1: if you do do it, just be ready for what's coming. 323 00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:57,080 Speaker 1: And it's not going to be pretty. Not in that conference. 324 00:17:57,760 --> 00:18:01,520 Speaker 1: Let's go to the first game, and I think, stand up, 325 00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:05,960 Speaker 1: just give them a standing oz because the Houston Texas, 326 00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:08,920 Speaker 1: I was thinking about this between the games before we 327 00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:12,720 Speaker 1: had to switch over to the old Peacock and the 328 00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:15,600 Speaker 1: Houston Texans who two years ago drafted Stingley with a 329 00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:18,439 Speaker 1: third pick. Last year they had the second and the 330 00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:20,959 Speaker 1: third pick. Now the second pick was theirs, and then 331 00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:23,120 Speaker 1: obviously they traded up third pick. So back to back 332 00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:26,440 Speaker 1: years they've drafted the top three. They were a laughingstock. 333 00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:31,639 Speaker 1: David Cully, Lovey Smith, just the whole Deshaun Watson and 334 00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:36,240 Speaker 1: the Messuses just a fucking disaster. I mean, a complete embarrassment, 335 00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:39,800 Speaker 1: no way around it. And now they win ten games, 336 00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:45,440 Speaker 1: they win their division, and they just curbsop the Cleveland Browns, 337 00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:48,680 Speaker 1: who I know, they look bad today. They had an 338 00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:52,239 Speaker 1: awesome season. I mean they were really good. I mean 339 00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:55,680 Speaker 1: they beat the forty nine ers, They've beat a ton 340 00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:58,000 Speaker 1: of good teams throughout the season, and they've looked Austin 341 00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:02,400 Speaker 1: down the stretch with Joe Flackham and the Texans destroyed them. 342 00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:04,919 Speaker 1: And I think it shows you listen, you know what 343 00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:08,600 Speaker 1: they remind me of. It's a little different, but you 344 00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:11,880 Speaker 1: remember when the Colts man and got hurt, they sucked. 345 00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:14,679 Speaker 1: They cut him and they get luck and they get 346 00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:17,600 Speaker 1: a new coach and everything, and they're immediately good. And 347 00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:21,280 Speaker 1: it was like, God, what's the upside for this franchise? Now, 348 00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:23,680 Speaker 1: I don't Well, you know C J. Stroud Andrew Locke, 349 00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:26,760 Speaker 1: both of them incredible rookie years and you would buy 350 00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:29,880 Speaker 1: all the stock. You know the differences in those situations though, 351 00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:36,200 Speaker 1: Chuck Pugano wasn't any good, Demiko is, Ryan Grigson wasn't 352 00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:39,560 Speaker 1: any good. Nick Casario is. You know today when they 353 00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:43,480 Speaker 1: beat the Cleveland Browns that they owned the Cleveland Browns 354 00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:47,640 Speaker 1: first round draft pick this season, So when they beat them, 355 00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:50,440 Speaker 1: they made their own pick better. Now they don't own 356 00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:53,119 Speaker 1: their pick because they traded to the Arizona Cardinals. But 357 00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:56,680 Speaker 1: when you win a playoff game. Who even cares so 358 00:19:56,720 --> 00:19:59,080 Speaker 1: to go to a position where you were one of 359 00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:01,960 Speaker 1: the laughing stock of the NFL. It looked like you 360 00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:04,639 Speaker 1: had no future, you had no hope, you were going 361 00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:08,280 Speaker 1: nowhere to Then a year later ago, we might have 362 00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:12,640 Speaker 1: if not the greatest I mean, listen, I think statistically, 363 00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:15,080 Speaker 1: I know he's had one of the great rookie playoff 364 00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:17,920 Speaker 1: performances of all time. Obviously had one of the great 365 00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:21,640 Speaker 1: rookie seasons of all time. The NFL is a little 366 00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:24,159 Speaker 1: easier to play in than maybe Marino in some of 367 00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:29,479 Speaker 1: these years. He clearly is a fantastic player. So you 368 00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:33,560 Speaker 1: get a guy that the Carolina Panthers regret not taking. 369 00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:35,800 Speaker 1: There's nowhere they can tell me whatever they want about 370 00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:37,399 Speaker 1: the guy that's five to nine and a bucks sixty. 371 00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:40,359 Speaker 1: They would rather take CJ. Stroud. But you also have 372 00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:42,960 Speaker 1: a star coach. Now. The one risky thing is their 373 00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:47,240 Speaker 1: offensive coordinator, Bobby Slowick's interviewing everywhere you lose him. That 374 00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:50,919 Speaker 1: that would clearly hurt a little bit. But what a 375 00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:56,720 Speaker 1: freaking season, What an incredible accomplishment by Demiko, by CJ, 376 00:20:57,040 --> 00:21:00,479 Speaker 1: by Nick Cassario, by all their players. I mean Nico Collins. 377 00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:04,480 Speaker 1: How good is that guy? How good? I mean that 378 00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:07,920 Speaker 1: was part of what I respected a lot about the 379 00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:12,040 Speaker 1: Cleveland Browns, was like their physicality and their toughness, not 380 00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:15,440 Speaker 1: that they look soft today, they definitely look slow. They 381 00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:18,080 Speaker 1: definitely look slow. I mean the Texans looked like a 382 00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:20,640 Speaker 1: step faster than them all day long. I mean early 383 00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:22,080 Speaker 1: on in that game, you're like, is this thing going 384 00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:25,080 Speaker 1: to really be like forty to thirty seven? And then 385 00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:27,280 Speaker 1: it was like, no, that's the Browns are done scoring 386 00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:29,840 Speaker 1: and Joe Flacco's gonna start throwing it to the other team. 387 00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:34,000 Speaker 1: So this is a listen. If the Texans, you know, 388 00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:38,600 Speaker 1: go to Baltimore and lose by twenty, tip your hat. 389 00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:44,160 Speaker 1: Just an incredible season, an organization that has taken. Next year, 390 00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:46,480 Speaker 1: they potentially we'll see, you know, the cap space is 391 00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:48,359 Speaker 1: pretty fluid, might have more cap space than every other 392 00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:50,399 Speaker 1: team in the NFL. So you're telling me I got 393 00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:54,040 Speaker 1: a star head coach, star quarterback, a ton of cap space, 394 00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:57,320 Speaker 1: a ton of other good young offensive and defensive pieces. 395 00:21:57,760 --> 00:22:00,760 Speaker 1: Now in Bobby Slowick, it feels like he's a lot 396 00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:03,199 Speaker 1: to get a job, but you never know. He is 397 00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:05,880 Speaker 1: pretty young. But you do this again, Like, honestly, even 398 00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:07,720 Speaker 1: if he lose to Baltimore and he throw up twenty 399 00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:11,040 Speaker 1: five points, he'll probably end up getting a job. But 400 00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:15,159 Speaker 1: props to the Texans and on the Browns, Like, I'm 401 00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:18,320 Speaker 1: not gonna just act like this season didn't happen. What 402 00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:21,600 Speaker 1: they accomplished this year with the amount of injuries they 403 00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:27,040 Speaker 1: had was remarkable. Kevin Stefanski is a good coach. They 404 00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:31,960 Speaker 1: lose tackles, they lose quarterbacks, they lose defensive pieces constantly. 405 00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:36,320 Speaker 1: They go through random quarterback after random quarterback to ultimately 406 00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:39,679 Speaker 1: settle on Joe Flacco, who was taking his kids to 407 00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:43,879 Speaker 1: school and throwing footballs with his dad and his brother 408 00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:47,119 Speaker 1: to stay loose. I mean, this is not normal. But 409 00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:49,600 Speaker 1: I also and I said this last week and I'll 410 00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:52,680 Speaker 1: reiterate it right now, but this is not a Disney movie. 411 00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:55,840 Speaker 1: He wasn't gonna take this team to the super Bowl. 412 00:22:56,560 --> 00:22:59,320 Speaker 1: He was thirty eight years old. Historically, he's thrown a 413 00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:02,840 Speaker 1: lot of picks. He hasn't even played good football in 414 00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:08,119 Speaker 1: more than half a decade. This was actually pretty understandable 415 00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:10,600 Speaker 1: that the guy just, I don't even want to say 416 00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:12,760 Speaker 1: he melt it down. He just played like he's been 417 00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:16,479 Speaker 1: playing the last five or six years not good. And 418 00:23:17,880 --> 00:23:20,040 Speaker 1: the biggest issue with the Browns, and I said this 419 00:23:20,119 --> 00:23:22,720 Speaker 1: early in the season, is they had to make hay 420 00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:28,160 Speaker 1: this season. Why because Deshaun Watson's cap number was nineteen 421 00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:33,719 Speaker 1: million dollars nineteen million dollars. Next year's cap number is 422 00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:37,760 Speaker 1: sixty three million dollars. I'm not a math major, but 423 00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:40,840 Speaker 1: you're talking about a forty plus million dollars swing in 424 00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:44,560 Speaker 1: cap space. So you talk about the team that part 425 00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:46,240 Speaker 1: of the reason they were so deep is they have 426 00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:48,000 Speaker 1: a lot of good players in a lot of positions. 427 00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:50,760 Speaker 1: Their team is never going to be this good ever. Again, 428 00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:53,480 Speaker 1: the only way their team's going to be this good 429 00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:57,280 Speaker 1: is is Deshaun Watson is sixty three million dollar capit, 430 00:23:57,320 --> 00:23:59,600 Speaker 1: which I off to do the math after this podcast 431 00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:02,359 Speaker 1: might be the biggest in the NFL for a quarterback 432 00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:06,200 Speaker 1: is a top ten quarterback. If he's not a top 433 00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:10,160 Speaker 1: ten quarterback, they're a disaster. Like if he just plays 434 00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:13,720 Speaker 1: like the seventeenth best quarterback, kind of like he did 435 00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:16,879 Speaker 1: at moments this year, they're fucked. Like. Part of the 436 00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:19,400 Speaker 1: reason where he could just play okay and they could 437 00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:23,720 Speaker 1: win some games, their roster was stacked. That's not gonna 438 00:24:23,720 --> 00:24:25,800 Speaker 1: be the case moving forward. They're gonna have to get 439 00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:29,679 Speaker 1: rid of some of these talented starters. So it's not 440 00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:34,200 Speaker 1: Joe Flacco's fault. Joe Flacco just played like Joe Flacco, right, 441 00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:37,399 Speaker 1: I mean a couple pick sixes, Like I've seen that before. 442 00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:40,840 Speaker 1: It happened from Joe Flacco, and I know and listen. 443 00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:42,320 Speaker 1: It was a fun story. It was fun to watch 444 00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:44,680 Speaker 1: who's easy to root for. It was cool to watch 445 00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:46,680 Speaker 1: him be like, yeah, I'm just playing loose, just having 446 00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:49,639 Speaker 1: fun until you throw the ball to the other team 447 00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:52,080 Speaker 1: twice in about five minutes at least the fourteen points 448 00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:56,920 Speaker 1: and the game's over. So I don't know, Man, Browns 449 00:24:56,920 --> 00:25:00,240 Speaker 1: have two good coaches, right, Stefanski's a good head coach 450 00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:03,480 Speaker 1: slash offensive coordinator and Jim Schwartz is a good defensive coordinator. 451 00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:06,600 Speaker 1: But if I take away forty three million dollar cap 452 00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:10,320 Speaker 1: space and now Deshaun Watson, who hasn't played that much 453 00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:12,840 Speaker 1: the last three years, it's coming back off an injury 454 00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:15,719 Speaker 1: and now all the pressure to not just function, but 455 00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:18,400 Speaker 1: like play really well. Can you be the ninth best 456 00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:21,399 Speaker 1: quarterback in the NFL and not the eighteenth best quarterback 457 00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:23,600 Speaker 1: in the NFL or the twentieth best quarterback in the NL. 458 00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:26,200 Speaker 1: Because if you're the nineteenth best quarterback in the NFL 459 00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:31,080 Speaker 1: next year, we'll win seven games. That's a fact. And 460 00:25:31,400 --> 00:25:33,320 Speaker 1: I think that was on full display today that they 461 00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:37,320 Speaker 1: big picture have a massive, massive question at quarterback. Okay, 462 00:25:37,359 --> 00:25:39,840 Speaker 1: a couple other things I want to hit on. Obviously, 463 00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:42,919 Speaker 1: the weather in Buffalo. They showed a clip during the 464 00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:46,239 Speaker 1: broadcast to night you couldn't see, you couldn't function, and 465 00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:49,480 Speaker 1: they moved the game back. I think big picture of 466 00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:52,920 Speaker 1: the one question I have is Martin Luther King Day 467 00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:55,520 Speaker 1: always was a day up until a couple of years ago. 468 00:25:55,560 --> 00:25:59,359 Speaker 1: When the NFL added that Monday night game was I guess, 469 00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:01,760 Speaker 1: and when they added an extra game that they air 470 00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:05,439 Speaker 1: playoffs fall on that weekend was the NBA's day. And 471 00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:08,480 Speaker 1: if you wake up, NBA is playing games like nine 472 00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:11,679 Speaker 1: am all through the night and they just have games 473 00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:14,960 Speaker 1: going constantly. Well, that used to happen with Christmas too. 474 00:26:15,160 --> 00:26:18,280 Speaker 1: They owned Christmas. Then the NFL came in and wiped 475 00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:21,440 Speaker 1: them out and no one watched Christmas Day NBA games. Now, 476 00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:25,320 Speaker 1: I don't necessarily think there was some you know, sinister 477 00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:29,000 Speaker 1: strategic movie here. I legitimately think they wanted to play 478 00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:32,360 Speaker 1: on Sunday morning. Snow was insane. Remember this happened last 479 00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:34,560 Speaker 1: year where the Bills had to fly to Detroit and 480 00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:37,160 Speaker 1: play the game, you know, in Detroit against the Lions. 481 00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:42,320 Speaker 1: But I do wonder if this game goes well because 482 00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:44,080 Speaker 1: it is a holiday, a lot of people are gonna 483 00:26:44,119 --> 00:26:47,040 Speaker 1: be home if they think about that big picture. Now, 484 00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:50,400 Speaker 1: the problem with this is if the Bills win, they're 485 00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:53,840 Speaker 1: playing the Chiefs, which would clearly be on Sunday, just 486 00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:58,120 Speaker 1: like if the Eagles were to win, you know, assuming 487 00:26:58,240 --> 00:27:00,720 Speaker 1: let's say, assume the Lions and the Cowboys. When Lions 488 00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:03,920 Speaker 1: and Cowboys will play on Saturday, Niners, Eagles will play 489 00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:06,480 Speaker 1: on Sunday. It's all based the Monday teams. They're not 490 00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:08,159 Speaker 1: going to put them on Saturday, you know, they're going 491 00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:11,240 Speaker 1: to play on Sunday. I do wonder if the NFL 492 00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:13,480 Speaker 1: thinks about some stuff though, if they do pretty big 493 00:27:13,560 --> 00:27:17,520 Speaker 1: numbers on Monday, you know, afternoon, I guess it's two 494 00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:20,200 Speaker 1: thirty my time Mountain West, right, was it four point 495 00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:25,560 Speaker 1: thirty Eastern Standard time? I could see this be something 496 00:27:25,600 --> 00:27:29,120 Speaker 1: that they talk long and hard about. If their playoff 497 00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:31,880 Speaker 1: are always going to fall on Martin Luther King weekend 498 00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:35,040 Speaker 1: because that is an opening for them, and one thing 499 00:27:35,080 --> 00:27:38,359 Speaker 1: we've seen when they have an opening, and I don't 500 00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:41,280 Speaker 1: they don't view the NBA as a competitor, but they 501 00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:44,880 Speaker 1: do view the NBA as just people with eyeballs and 502 00:27:44,960 --> 00:27:48,080 Speaker 1: they want to strangle them out. So if this goes well, 503 00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:51,360 Speaker 1: it would not stun me if they do a two 504 00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:54,359 Speaker 1: to two thing moving forward, at least it would be 505 00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:58,200 Speaker 1: a discussion point at like the March owners meetings. Listen, 506 00:27:58,480 --> 00:28:00,800 Speaker 1: I got no issue with it. I'm cool with to 507 00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:05,000 Speaker 1: to two, but we'll see how it goes. Another story 508 00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:09,919 Speaker 1: this morning, Schefter I think reported that Antonio Pierce is 509 00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:13,240 Speaker 1: now the leading front runner if something big doesn't happen 510 00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:16,160 Speaker 1: for Mark Davis, which is essentially saying it. And I've 511 00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:17,800 Speaker 1: been hearing this from some of my buddies who are 512 00:28:17,840 --> 00:28:20,760 Speaker 1: assistant coaches. A lot of people think that Jim Harbaugh 513 00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:23,720 Speaker 1: is gonna end up with the Chargers. So if Jim 514 00:28:23,760 --> 00:28:26,600 Speaker 1: Harbaugh ends up with the Chargers, Mark Davis is not 515 00:28:26,680 --> 00:28:29,640 Speaker 1: hiring anyone else like he would be very I think 516 00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:32,040 Speaker 1: he is interested in Jim Harbaugh. But if he can't 517 00:28:32,040 --> 00:28:34,400 Speaker 1: get him one thing he's learned before, and he did 518 00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:37,720 Speaker 1: this with a rich He's gonna hire Antonio Piers. His 519 00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:41,720 Speaker 1: players like him, he likes him. Antonio Pierce takes a 520 00:28:41,720 --> 00:28:44,520 Speaker 1: lot of pride in kind of the raider thing, and 521 00:28:45,160 --> 00:28:47,680 Speaker 1: I understand it, like I get it now. I also 522 00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:51,120 Speaker 1: think it's a lot harder on a year to year 523 00:28:51,160 --> 00:28:53,760 Speaker 1: basis when you get a guy with limited experience, when 524 00:28:53,800 --> 00:28:56,560 Speaker 1: you get a guy season and listen, I'm I'm pro. 525 00:28:56,640 --> 00:28:58,640 Speaker 1: Antonio Piers liked him. I had a lot of respect 526 00:28:58,640 --> 00:29:02,200 Speaker 1: for him as a player, but their offense was a 527 00:29:02,360 --> 00:29:05,720 Speaker 1: joke and clearly former linebacker like, that's not his cup 528 00:29:05,760 --> 00:29:08,720 Speaker 1: of tea. So how do they get a quarterback? And 529 00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:12,400 Speaker 1: who's his offensive coordinator? And I would imagine when he's 530 00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:15,680 Speaker 1: selling Mark Davis on him getting self the job, he's 531 00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:18,240 Speaker 1: talking about the ability to either land a guy in 532 00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:21,080 Speaker 1: free agency or trade up in the draft, and clearly 533 00:29:21,120 --> 00:29:23,640 Speaker 1: he has an offensive coordinator that comes to mind that 534 00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:26,680 Speaker 1: he's gonna use because those are the biggest question marks. 535 00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:28,480 Speaker 1: But in terms of leadership, like he was a team 536 00:29:28,520 --> 00:29:31,720 Speaker 1: captain in the NFL, he was a guy that helped 537 00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:34,240 Speaker 1: take down and lead a defense that beat the shit 538 00:29:34,280 --> 00:29:36,560 Speaker 1: out of the undefeated Tom Brady like, leadership is not 539 00:29:36,560 --> 00:29:38,800 Speaker 1: gonna be his issue, Like, that's a huge question with 540 00:29:38,840 --> 00:29:42,520 Speaker 1: a lot of these offensive coordinators, Bobby Slowick, Ben Johnson 541 00:29:42,520 --> 00:29:44,960 Speaker 1: go around the NFL like, are they good leaders? The guy? 542 00:29:45,040 --> 00:29:47,080 Speaker 1: I know they could ski, but can they lead? I 543 00:29:47,120 --> 00:29:49,920 Speaker 1: know Antonio Pierce can lead. The guys are gonna respect him. 544 00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:52,280 Speaker 1: That's gonna be the least to his worries. He can 545 00:29:52,360 --> 00:29:56,400 Speaker 1: lead the entire team comes naturally to him. Indeed, you know, 546 00:29:56,600 --> 00:29:59,720 Speaker 1: coordination and especially offensive side of the ball, to me 547 00:29:59,840 --> 00:30:02,920 Speaker 1: is a question that honestly, he won't even be able 548 00:30:02,920 --> 00:30:06,200 Speaker 1: to answer until the season starts. Now, I guess he 549 00:30:06,240 --> 00:30:09,959 Speaker 1: could make a sexy offensive coordinator higher, but you know, 550 00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:13,000 Speaker 1: the free agency and the draft is gonna be They're 551 00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:14,479 Speaker 1: gonna have to get a good quarterback because if they 552 00:30:14,480 --> 00:30:17,280 Speaker 1: do not have a functional quarterback, they have no chance 553 00:30:17,320 --> 00:30:20,080 Speaker 1: to compete for the playoffs, not in this conference. But 554 00:30:21,160 --> 00:30:24,280 Speaker 1: I totally understand it from a leadership standpoint. He just 555 00:30:24,320 --> 00:30:27,360 Speaker 1: feels like a get it guy. Like I said, my 556 00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:29,080 Speaker 1: only question marks would be on the offensive side of 557 00:30:29,080 --> 00:30:31,640 Speaker 1: the ball, and as of right now, not that I 558 00:30:31,680 --> 00:30:34,880 Speaker 1: have like inside information on Jim Harbaugh. It does kind 559 00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:36,960 Speaker 1: of feel that Jim Harbaugh is gonna go to the 560 00:30:37,040 --> 00:30:39,520 Speaker 1: Chargers because I've been told that by a lot of people. 561 00:30:39,800 --> 00:30:41,640 Speaker 1: Still seems a little crazy to me. I mean, that'd 562 00:30:41,640 --> 00:30:44,680 Speaker 1: be cool. I'm not anti that, but like him and 563 00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:48,360 Speaker 1: the Spanos family be quite the marriage. But I'm here 564 00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:52,560 Speaker 1: for I watch all these AFC and NFC West games 565 00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:54,080 Speaker 1: just because I live out here on the West Coast 566 00:30:54,480 --> 00:30:59,560 Speaker 1: very closely, So sign me up. But and that'd be 567 00:30:59,600 --> 00:31:02,240 Speaker 1: another thing from Mark Davis though, if you hire Antonio Peers, 568 00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:05,960 Speaker 1: you have a first time head coach. Let's assume Jim 569 00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:09,640 Speaker 1: Harbaugh goes to the Chargers against Jim Harbaugh, Andy Reid 570 00:31:09,720 --> 00:31:13,920 Speaker 1: and Sean Payton. It's not an easy not an easy job. 571 00:31:14,560 --> 00:31:16,640 Speaker 1: That wouldn't be easy job for a good coach for 572 00:31:16,800 --> 00:31:21,880 Speaker 1: like Shanahan or mcday. That'd be tough. So buckle up, 573 00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:26,800 Speaker 1: Raider Nation. And last but not least, I followed Kaylin 574 00:31:26,840 --> 00:31:29,400 Speaker 1: Dubor's career now pretty closely since he was at President State, 575 00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:31,560 Speaker 1: and I've said this over and over. That's why I 576 00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:34,800 Speaker 1: bet on them against Sark. He is an elite coach. 577 00:31:35,440 --> 00:31:39,680 Speaker 1: He is a badass as an offensive schemer, as a 578 00:31:39,760 --> 00:31:44,520 Speaker 1: leader as a program runner. He's a stud. But one 579 00:31:44,560 --> 00:31:48,440 Speaker 1: thing I've stood by for a long long time is 580 00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:53,320 Speaker 1: cultural fit matters in college football. In the NFL, it 581 00:31:53,760 --> 00:31:57,920 Speaker 1: doesn't matter at all. Kyle Shanahan, where's he from? Andy Reid, 582 00:31:57,920 --> 00:32:01,320 Speaker 1: where's he from? Right, Bill Bella, None of it matters. 583 00:32:01,320 --> 00:32:04,200 Speaker 1: Pete Carroll, like it doesn't matter where you're from to 584 00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:07,880 Speaker 1: coach an NFL team in college, it matters most guys 585 00:32:07,880 --> 00:32:10,480 Speaker 1: who have thrived on the West Coast in college. Let's 586 00:32:10,560 --> 00:32:16,120 Speaker 1: use Jeff Tedford, Pete Carroll, Jim Harbaugh from the West coast, 587 00:32:16,440 --> 00:32:20,520 Speaker 1: think about the South, Kirby Smart, Nick Saban born to 588 00:32:20,600 --> 00:32:24,000 Speaker 1: raise West Virginia. Jim bow Fisher won a Natty at 589 00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:29,480 Speaker 1: Florida State. Like Southern guys thrive in the South, Urban 590 00:32:29,520 --> 00:32:32,520 Speaker 1: Meyer is the one outlier who has gone to different 591 00:32:32,520 --> 00:32:36,719 Speaker 1: places in the country in the last twenty years and thrived. 592 00:32:37,080 --> 00:32:39,920 Speaker 1: I do think going to the South is a completely 593 00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:43,920 Speaker 1: different animal. And when you're an outsider, which Kaylin Duboor is, 594 00:32:44,840 --> 00:32:48,040 Speaker 1: if things don't go right immediately, it can be a 595 00:32:48,080 --> 00:32:51,720 Speaker 1: problem fast. Let's use Brian Kelly for example. Brian Kelly 596 00:32:51,840 --> 00:32:55,160 Speaker 1: is an awesome coach if he goes nine and three 597 00:32:55,160 --> 00:32:58,200 Speaker 1: again at LSU, he might not last till year four. 598 00:32:59,160 --> 00:33:00,840 Speaker 1: He went nine and three this year with the Heisman 599 00:33:00,880 --> 00:33:04,040 Speaker 1: Trophy winner. That will not be tolerated again. He can 600 00:33:04,160 --> 00:33:06,840 Speaker 1: not go nine and three. But look at the conference like, 601 00:33:07,200 --> 00:33:10,240 Speaker 1: it's not easy to get to ten eleven wins. So 602 00:33:11,560 --> 00:33:14,360 Speaker 1: you replace a guy like Nick Saban, and I understand 603 00:33:14,360 --> 00:33:17,760 Speaker 1: from Kaylan du Bor's standpoint, you're coming from Washington, it's 604 00:33:17,800 --> 00:33:21,080 Speaker 1: gonna be hard to sustain success at that level. USC 605 00:33:21,160 --> 00:33:23,920 Speaker 1: has more money than you, Oregon has more money than you. 606 00:33:24,040 --> 00:33:26,320 Speaker 1: Obviously Ohio State and Michigan have more money than you. 607 00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:30,560 Speaker 1: It's challenging. You get this opportunity. You walk into a 608 00:33:30,600 --> 00:33:33,400 Speaker 1: ready made program, ready to compete for a national championship 609 00:33:33,440 --> 00:33:37,479 Speaker 1: next year. But he's not a Southern guy. You replace 610 00:33:37,600 --> 00:33:40,640 Speaker 1: Nick Saban, the standard it couldn't be any higher, even 611 00:33:40,680 --> 00:33:44,560 Speaker 1: if you replaced Belichick. Like drawd Mail, they've sucked for 612 00:33:44,560 --> 00:33:46,800 Speaker 1: a couple of years. So if drawd Mail were to 613 00:33:46,840 --> 00:33:48,600 Speaker 1: go eight, nine or nine and eight next year, be like, 614 00:33:48,680 --> 00:33:51,640 Speaker 1: oh shit, we might have something with this guy. If 615 00:33:51,720 --> 00:33:55,200 Speaker 1: Kaylan Dubor goes ten and two and does not play 616 00:33:55,280 --> 00:33:58,760 Speaker 1: Georgia in the SEC Championship game, it's a complete failure. 617 00:33:58,800 --> 00:34:02,440 Speaker 1: Next year's and have taken over for Nick Saban right. 618 00:34:02,480 --> 00:34:05,120 Speaker 1: So now ultimately with the twelve team PLAYFF you get 619 00:34:05,120 --> 00:34:07,959 Speaker 1: into the playoff, it's just challenging. So I would if 620 00:34:08,040 --> 00:34:10,719 Speaker 1: Kayln Duboor was a stock, I would bet on the individual. 621 00:34:11,120 --> 00:34:13,360 Speaker 1: He's proven one hundred and four and twelve. All he 622 00:34:13,400 --> 00:34:16,360 Speaker 1: does is win. I do think it can be difficult 623 00:34:16,640 --> 00:34:19,160 Speaker 1: to go into the South though. I saw with Jim mcklewin. 624 00:34:19,520 --> 00:34:22,400 Speaker 1: He went to Florida, they were having success, going to 625 00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:26,080 Speaker 1: the SEC championship game and got running down. Now he 626 00:34:26,120 --> 00:34:29,160 Speaker 1: didn't win as many games as like, he wasn't consistently 627 00:34:29,239 --> 00:34:32,360 Speaker 1: winning ten games, but still he was not some loser, 628 00:34:33,200 --> 00:34:37,600 Speaker 1: and there's a pressure there. It's treated like the NFL. 629 00:34:38,200 --> 00:34:40,320 Speaker 1: The money is no issue to get rid of guys. 630 00:34:40,400 --> 00:34:42,560 Speaker 1: I mean, we've seen Jim bo Fisher and Ed oseron. 631 00:34:42,760 --> 00:34:46,560 Speaker 1: These guys are paid countless millions to pack up their 632 00:34:46,600 --> 00:34:50,960 Speaker 1: stuff and leave. So I'm rooting for him. I do 633 00:34:50,960 --> 00:34:53,640 Speaker 1: not think this is as easy though as some of 634 00:34:53,640 --> 00:34:55,680 Speaker 1: the people are making it out to be. I think 635 00:34:55,719 --> 00:34:58,040 Speaker 1: there's an intensity to it. You know, he's not a 636 00:34:58,040 --> 00:35:01,120 Speaker 1: great recruiter. That's another thing like Google Washington where they 637 00:35:01,200 --> 00:35:04,439 Speaker 1: rank in the Big ten recruiting rankings, not super high 638 00:35:04,800 --> 00:35:07,160 Speaker 1: like say what you want around Nick Saban, he took 639 00:35:07,200 --> 00:35:10,520 Speaker 1: recruiting very seriously. I think last year he had one 640 00:35:10,520 --> 00:35:13,279 Speaker 1: of the best recruiting classes in Alabama history. This year 641 00:35:13,320 --> 00:35:17,279 Speaker 1: they literally finished second. Like he was. Nick Saban was 642 00:35:17,320 --> 00:35:20,320 Speaker 1: an elite coach and an elite recruiter. I think Kaylin 643 00:35:20,400 --> 00:35:23,279 Speaker 1: Duboor has a chance to be an elite coach. Is 644 00:35:23,320 --> 00:35:27,160 Speaker 1: he an average recruiter like Kirby Smart elite recruiter, Urban 645 00:35:27,239 --> 00:35:31,200 Speaker 1: Meyer elite recruiter, Jim Harbaugh very high effort, big time recruiter. 646 00:35:31,760 --> 00:35:34,120 Speaker 1: It takes a lot of effort, and I think the 647 00:35:34,160 --> 00:35:38,319 Speaker 1: pressure on this one, I'm a little leery. I'll say 648 00:35:38,360 --> 00:35:41,160 Speaker 1: that I don't think he could ever fail in terms 649 00:35:41,160 --> 00:35:44,640 Speaker 1: of like ruin the program. I just think the expectations, 650 00:35:45,120 --> 00:35:47,480 Speaker 1: the amount of first round picks they expect you to have, 651 00:35:47,560 --> 00:35:49,759 Speaker 1: the amount of games they expect you to win, the 652 00:35:49,800 --> 00:35:53,280 Speaker 1: intensity to behind it. It's very, very difficult, and honestly, 653 00:35:53,520 --> 00:35:55,480 Speaker 1: it might be a job that no one could have filled. 654 00:35:55,880 --> 00:35:58,799 Speaker 1: Why because no one can fill Michael Jordan's shoes.
