Speaker 1: you between the Lakers, Celtics last night, Niners, Eagles earlier
Speaker 1: today and Bengals Chiefs tonight. I'm gonna assume I'm officiating
Speaker 1: is harder than we think because some of those calls.
Speaker 1: I listen, the late hit on the homes is a
Speaker 1: late hit, but a couple of minutes earlier, there's a
Speaker 1: late hit on Burrow, Frank Clark pops him. Nobody calls anything.
Speaker 1: I'm listen. The rig stuff is stupid. But I don't
Speaker 1: think Cincinnati. Um. I thought Kansas City got a couple
Speaker 1: of calls that I didn't love. And I think the
Speaker 1: teams are very even. I honestly think if they played
Speaker 1: ten times, they'd split five apiece. Um. But I I
Speaker 1: can see Bengal fans tonight feeling like they didn't get
Speaker 1: the best calls. You know, when I was a kid,
Speaker 1: I was born in the mid eighties, so I didn't
Speaker 1: really experience the Elway Montana Marino, but you had heard
Speaker 1: the legendary you know, comparisons of all the guys. And
Speaker 1: I grew up on Young, Aikman and then really Far,
Speaker 1: but they never while they played each other. You know,
Speaker 1: Aikman is not a top ten all time great. Young
Speaker 1: is kind of on the outside looking in, and Far
Speaker 1: when he was on was better than both of them.
Speaker 1: But it's hard to you know, it didn't feel like
Speaker 1: Elway and his prime against Montana and his prime. Yet
Speaker 1: I'm watching that tonight and I go, I've been watching
Speaker 1: sports now for thirty plush years. Those two guys. One
Speaker 1: guy is on a bum ankle, given it all he has.
Speaker 1: Burrow is just a magical player. I mean, you've been
Speaker 1: watching football longer than me. I mean, though, those are
Speaker 1: two of the better quarterbacks I've ever seen. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: it feels um, you know a little bit like Mahomes
Speaker 1: is Peyton Manning where he's more celebrated were an awe
Speaker 1: his talent, and Burrows more Brady, which is accurate efficient
Speaker 1: often beats Mahaw Holmes. Uh. This this is a go
Speaker 1: either way game. I you know, I just I think
Speaker 1: when I when I look at the a f C
Speaker 1: right now, great creates clarity. And if you're an a
Speaker 1: f C g M and you've got Trevor Lawrence and
Speaker 1: Herbert coming, and you've got Mahomes and Borrow, it makes
Speaker 1: it really obvious if you're not special at quarterback, start over.
Speaker 1: You know, Kirk Cousins, you can win a division going
Speaker 1: away in the NFC with that, like unless you I mean,
Speaker 1: and the other thing in the NFC, the DAK. You
Speaker 1: can win twelve games every year with DAK. You're not
Speaker 1: doing that. It's just I look at Burrow and Mahomes
Speaker 1: and I think, I mean, I don't think you know,
Speaker 1: Herbert Josh Allen to me, don't really have the right
Speaker 1: coach um. But I when I'm watching these guys today,
Speaker 1: we all make excuses. John Daniel Jones. It's the old line.
Speaker 1: It's the receivers, Like everybody stopped Mahomes bomb ankle and
Speaker 1: missing two starting receivers, you got, you got today Burrow
Speaker 1: calls not going his way, missing three offensive line starters.
Speaker 1: The great ones overcome. I mean, we don't even like
Speaker 1: Brandon Staley, Herbert got him to the playoffs. Like, if
Speaker 1: you don't have a guy that can overcome, you can
Speaker 1: keep making excuses. But I just I like, if I
Speaker 1: ran a football team and I saw Mahomes Burrow, I
Speaker 1: would sit down with my scouting staff and say, guys,
Speaker 1: if we don't have a guy that can go toe
Speaker 1: to toe of that, and I think Trevor Lawrence with
Speaker 1: a better roster could, then what are we doing here?
Speaker 1: What will the draft and the combines not far away.
Speaker 1: And I'm guilty this sometimes too. We get so caught
Speaker 1: up in measurables and stuff with quarterbacks as you saw
Speaker 1: it a night, and we've seen our entire lives in
Speaker 1: the biggest games and the biggest spots in the playoffs.
Speaker 1: Toughness and those intangible qualities. I mean what Mahomes is
Speaker 1: bringing to the table. They gave him a four hundred
Speaker 1: fifty million dollar contract and they've never flinched once about
Speaker 1: like he's actually underpaid. I mean, the best deal that franchise,
Speaker 1: whatever what Joe Burrow has done to that franchise, him
Speaker 1: leaping around the night, getting first downs, doing everything possible.
Speaker 1: Is he's getting chased by seven defensive linemen every single play.
Speaker 1: Toughness and intangibles when it comes to quarterbacks is just
Speaker 1: something if you don't have that, Because a lot of
Speaker 1: guys now have the physical skills. We see it every
Speaker 1: Saturday for the last several years, every teams throwing around
Speaker 1: the yard. But with those guys brought to the table,
Speaker 1: I mean, Patrick Mahomes a throwback. He's got a high ankles. Brainies,
Speaker 1: there's no chance he was missing this game and Burrow
Speaker 1: is just able to overcome these offensive line injuries year
Speaker 1: in year out. I mean last year they didn't even
Speaker 1: have one. This year they have one, but the guys
Speaker 1: are now missing. It's it's pretty remarkable to watch those
Speaker 1: two guys just laid on the line, regardless of the
Speaker 1: calls and some of the craft that went on. I mean,
Speaker 1: I just if you just love football, you have to
Speaker 1: appreciate this. By the way, Kansas City, because they got
Speaker 1: rid of Tyreek Kale and have made some moves, They're
Speaker 1: not going anywhere. I think they have a first, a second,
Speaker 1: and the third, two fourths, multiple six. I mean, hey
Speaker 1: and Brett Veach last year, how all their young dB.
Speaker 1: I mean, they got a ton of young players everywhere,
Speaker 1: and last year they hitting a couple of like six
Speaker 1: round picks. So these teams aren't going anywhere. Um, it's
Speaker 1: you know, I will say with Andy Reid facing Philadelphia,
Speaker 1: and I said this earlier today, I think Philadelphia has
Speaker 1: got the best roster right now left and I felt
Speaker 1: that before the Chiefs and the Bengals played. And we'll
Speaker 1: get to this game in a second, but I think
Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts is more dan depth than we thought. I
Speaker 1: thought he was off on deep throws. I thought he
Speaker 1: underthrew short throws all day. He didn't scramble at all
Speaker 1: early in the game. He really really needs that two weeks.
Speaker 1: Both these quarterbacks, Mahomes and Hurts. I think we're gonna
Speaker 1: have a great super Bowl. They're both they both need
Speaker 1: two weeks to heal, especially the Chiefs. You know, Juju
Speaker 1: didn't come back. Tony, the kid they traded for the Giants,
Speaker 1: he left the game. I mean, he gets hurt a lot.
Speaker 1: I thought tonight as all these guys were injured, and
Speaker 1: Mahomes is I don't even know. I mean his arms
Speaker 1: still good, so he can make plays, but he can't
Speaker 1: move like he normally does. Andy's greatest win as a coach,
Speaker 1: and he's a Hall of Fame coach. It's got to
Speaker 1: be the Super Bowl. I mean it's the most important
Speaker 1: win of his career. But you could say that this
Speaker 1: is every bit the second best win of his career
Speaker 1: given what he was dealing with in the second half,
Speaker 1: because once they tied the game, he went, how's he
Speaker 1: gonna score again? They can't move the ball. They couldn't,
Speaker 1: and then they found a way the defensive players. It
Speaker 1: felt like an organizational win. Right, the rookies make a
Speaker 1: play on defense, Chris Jones makes a play. Veach had
Speaker 1: a hand in it, and he had a hand in it.
Speaker 1: Mahomes had a hand in it. That to me, that
Speaker 1: was just an organizational win. They're just they got more
Speaker 1: going for him right now than than Cincinnati, who's clearly
Speaker 1: not going away. Yeah, it's I tell young broadcasters this
Speaker 1: from time to time. I'm like, don't listen to the noise.
Speaker 1: Head down, do a good job, stay off social and
Speaker 1: unless you're promoting your stuff, and people around you will
Speaker 1: make mistakes. People around you will just screw up, make mistakes.
Speaker 1: It's very similar in the NFL. Like Beach doesn't hit
Speaker 1: a home run with every draft pick, but they find
Speaker 1: a lot of good by the way, John let you
Speaker 1: all these teams, Howie Roseman, John Lynch, all these organizations,
Speaker 1: they find some hits in the fourth, fifth, sixth round.
Speaker 1: Niners have hit some real home runs. Kittle five, Jennings six,
Speaker 1: brought pretty seventh and um, it's just talent accumulation. Get
Speaker 1: the right guy at quarterback. Um. I will say this though, Mahomes,
Speaker 1: you know we we talked about great athletes. It feels
Speaker 1: like to me, Mahomes gets dinged up almost every year,
Speaker 1: and he um he's a fascinating talent because I feel
Speaker 1: like mechanically this year he didn't. Mechanically he goes off
Speaker 1: the reservation a little bit every year. He kind of
Speaker 1: gets dinged up every year, but he his instincts. John,
Speaker 1: and you're a former NFL scout. He made a throw
Speaker 1: in to the end zone. He has ability to see something,
Speaker 1: process it, and let go of the ball within a
Speaker 1: half a second. It's so instinctual that you know he'll
Speaker 1: be running full speed. A lot of guys can see something.
Speaker 1: I always felt this was Sam Donald. He was a
Speaker 1: slow processor. It just took him a long time. I
Speaker 1: see it his slow delivery. I want it was like
Speaker 1: a second and a half. Mahomes does things so quickly
Speaker 1: from the time it's open to the time the balls
Speaker 1: out of his hands. I'm not sure I've ever seen
Speaker 1: anybody do it like that ever. Yeah, I think he's
Speaker 1: got kind of the far flare and with the physical talent,
Speaker 1: but with the young breeze kind of i Q and
Speaker 1: the ability to see, with the accuracy when he's on
Speaker 1: and I think this year he took a big step
Speaker 1: in just controlling everything. You know, last year he kind
Speaker 1: of got out of rhythm through a bunch of pigs
Speaker 1: and then by the end of the season had him
Speaker 1: I I thought to me, if he's not injured, they
Speaker 1: probably win this game a little easier. I mean, I
Speaker 1: think he's kind of in the peak of his powers
Speaker 1: right now mentally. I mean, Colin, they've gotten the three
Speaker 1: Super Bowls in five years. You know the other two
Speaker 1: they lost in this game. I mean, this is a
Speaker 1: little bit like in the NBA when you get a
Speaker 1: Magic Johnson or Michael Jordan. But he's these are his
Speaker 1: first five years starting and he's just rattling off third
Speaker 1: Super Bowl in five years. This is pretty In the NBA,
Speaker 1: people aren't tackling you, so you're dealing with this regulated
Speaker 1: level of violence, so you're playing her. The other thing
Speaker 1: is they had to give up Tyreek kill and wore
Speaker 1: the corner. So you know, Dac loses a Mari Cooper.
Speaker 1: He's like, he's not the same player. You know, Tony
Speaker 1: Pollard goes out at halftime, he can't move the sticks.
Speaker 1: He's losing a superstar receiver, a Pro Bowl corner. They're
Speaker 1: back in the Super Bowl. Well, this is why when
Speaker 1: these coaches and we'll see if Mike vrabel now wants
Speaker 1: to get all this power and Belichick always wants all
Speaker 1: this power. Andy when he went to Kansas City went
Speaker 1: John Dorsey, you run the personnel department. And then things
Speaker 1: got weird, not even with Andy, but with the owner.
Speaker 1: And then each came in. It's each You run the
Speaker 1: personnel department, and you look up. You got a rookie
Speaker 1: seventh rounder picking off Burrow. You got another rookie in
Speaker 1: the defensive backfield making a play. You got Isaiah Pacheco.
Speaker 1: When you trust whoever you're working with, I think John
Speaker 1: and Pete have developed that relationship over the years. It
Speaker 1: is so much easier to have a successful organization and
Speaker 1: not be tied to one individual player. Obviously they're tied
Speaker 1: to Mahomes, but you look at the Chiefs now compared
Speaker 1: to what they were three or four years ago that
Speaker 1: were very top heavy, they are just much more well balanced.
Speaker 1: And I think it's because Andy let me coach the team.
Speaker 1: I trust each You helped me pick. You picked the players,
Speaker 1: and I'll you know, I'll watch them and we'll build
Speaker 1: the organization as a as a group, and that's what
Speaker 1: you get. Yeah, the I mean a lot of people predicted.
Speaker 1: You know, I think Philadelphia UM in the off season.
Speaker 1: I didn't think Philadelphia felt like a super Bowl team
Speaker 1: in the off season, but then by about week six,
Speaker 1: seven eight, you're like, wow, they have seven team players
Speaker 1: Pro Bowl or alternate. I mean, I mean that is
Speaker 1: I'd say, what and I know we'll pivot to this.
Speaker 1: As great as that old line was for Philadelphia, the
Speaker 1: Niners still got pressure today. I felt, I honestly how
Speaker 1: games turn out. I don't really care. I like my
Speaker 1: picks to be right if possible. But you know, but
Speaker 1: I really genuinely felt bad for Kyle Shanahan today. He
Speaker 1: lost his starter, Trey Lance Garoppolo Rock Party, Josh Johnson.
Speaker 1: They're snapping to a running back by the end of
Speaker 1: the season. And I thought to myself, Brady East texting
Speaker 1: Kyle saying, Kyle, I don't get hurt. I mean, at
Speaker 1: some point I want to ask you this, not to
Speaker 1: take your amp feed over. But as a as a scout,
Speaker 1: you know that sometimes you get lightning in a bottle.
Speaker 1: So if you go look at Purdy's run, he beat
Speaker 1: three fourth place teams. UM Houston was one of them,
Speaker 1: Washington was another one, and I forget the other one.
Speaker 1: The division went into the tank. He was four and
Speaker 1: he beat Arizona, was terrible, three fourth place teams. The
Speaker 1: division went sideways. So he was four and against the
Speaker 1: f C West, but in the playoffs bat early against Seattle,
Speaker 1: mediocre against Dallas, and then wasn't tearing it up before
Speaker 1: he got hurt. Here do you look at that and go, listen,
Speaker 1: We're going to keep him around because he's cheap. But
Speaker 1: Kittle's getting older, Trent Williams getting older. Some of these
Speaker 1: guys on his team. The way he goes through running backs,
Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey could get hurt in any week. You're the
Speaker 1: Niners today, don't you have to go big at quarterback? Yeah?
Speaker 1: But what are your real options, right besides Tom who's
Speaker 1: forty six years old. Which Kyle's offense? Does you know
Speaker 1: he forced the quarterback to move. It's a lot of
Speaker 1: bootlegs stuff. It's a lot of play action stuff in
Speaker 1: the movement on the quarterback. And one thing pretty you
Speaker 1: know they want a lot of games with Jimmy Garoppolo,
Speaker 1: And you're right, it's a small sample size and depending on,
Speaker 1: you know, the individual teams. Even Tampa was a playoff team,
Speaker 1: they were pretty bad. Seattle was a playoff team. He
Speaker 1: got to play him twice. He was much more explosive
Speaker 1: as a pastor than Jimmy Garoppolo, and Kyle proved that
Speaker 1: he can have a lot of success with Jimmy Garoppolo
Speaker 1: because of the unit around him, and pretty when you're
Speaker 1: a seventh round pick, you make He made like seven
Speaker 1: fifty this year, he makes eight dred next year he
Speaker 1: makes not He's the best contract in the league if
Speaker 1: he's your starting quarterback. Now today, what's concerning freak incident? Right?
Speaker 1: I mean, the guy kind of comes untouch. You can
Speaker 1: argue it's a terrible play call to have your backup
Speaker 1: tight end trying to block one of the best pass
Speaker 1: rusters in the league gets him killed. But the the
Speaker 1: injuries at quarterback or I mean, this is unprecedented column.
Speaker 1: How many teams My girlfriend was like, has this ever happened? Well,
Speaker 1: I like, first of all, a team on their four
Speaker 1: string quarterback has never been this far in the NFL,
Speaker 1: in the history of the league. Never happened, and it
Speaker 1: will never happen again. They got a little lucky that
Speaker 1: Purdy was really good at a seventh rounder, or they
Speaker 1: wouldn't be here to begin with. So I think you go,
Speaker 1: he can be the starter kind of going in the
Speaker 1: off season, assuming he might need Tommy John Now you've
Speaker 1: got Trey Lance coming back off injury. They're in a
Speaker 1: tough spot. I don't my gut says Tom Brady doesn't
Speaker 1: want to move out west to Miami, New York kind
Speaker 1: of stays on the Eastern seaboard. They went down that,
Speaker 1: you know, four years ago. They didn't pull the trigger.
Speaker 1: Obviously they made a mistake. They should have. But now
Speaker 1: he's gonna be forty six years old. He can't move.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't do it, but I I hear you if
Speaker 1: if you told me in the next month or it's
Speaker 1: less than that, because Derek's fifte like they're sniffing around
Speaker 1: Derek Carr that they'll just be sniffing around people. I
Speaker 1: think they will. They've proven to be one of the
Speaker 1: very most aggressive organizations right there with the Rams in Seattle.
Speaker 1: They will make moves, but kind of in a tough
Speaker 1: spot because I think they were kind of sold on
Speaker 1: Purdy and then it happens today and we'll see by
Speaker 1: tomorrow if he needs Tommy John. Now, Tommy John with
Speaker 1: quarterback is not as bad as Tommy John with pictures
Speaker 1: and maybe comes back with a stronger arm. But uh yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean today was you can see it on Kyle's
Speaker 1: face and listen, the Eagles were really good team and
Speaker 1: they could have won this game straight up obviously. I mean,
Speaker 1: they were favorite in the game. But we kind of
Speaker 1: got robbed to just see a real game. I mean,
Speaker 1: today was by the by the time Josh Johnson was
Speaker 1: and mean it was a joke that wasn't a real
Speaker 1: football game. But even before the party had to come
Speaker 1: back into the game, even when Josh Johnson and he
Speaker 1: showed up Colin in early December. This is the NFL,
Speaker 1: This is a this is an NFC championship to this
Speaker 1: is a team. Like you said, the Eagles are the
Speaker 1: best roster will the Niners are every bit they're equal,
Speaker 1: and they're playing with a guy that, i mean, God
Speaker 1: love him, but has no business being you know, on
Speaker 1: a roster at this point in time the season, let
Speaker 1: alone in the game. I'm interested to see Philadelphia because
Speaker 1: um Hurts was not whereas you can see Mahomes limping.
Speaker 1: You can't see what Jalen Hurts is dealing with. But
Speaker 1: he apparently told the reporter at Fox, UM he was not.
Speaker 1: But I I thought Jalen really didn't throw the ball
Speaker 1: particularly well today. Was short on a lot of easy
Speaker 1: stuff stuff in the flat. Everything was low and didn't
Speaker 1: have velocity. And he's usually I like the way it
Speaker 1: throws a deep ball. None, none of it wasn't even
Speaker 1: close now, So I mean, I think Jalen is going
Speaker 1: to be a different quarterback. I think next, I think
Speaker 1: in the Super Bowl, Um, what's gonna be interesting is
Speaker 1: that Eagles O line and that Chief's O line. Those
Speaker 1: are really good. Um, Chief's right tackles a little hit
Speaker 1: and miss. But UM, I think in the in the
Speaker 1: Super Bowl, Hurts is gonna have some time to throw. UM.
Speaker 1: I think Mahomes is gonna have some time to throw. UM.
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna end up being a classic Andy
Speaker 1: against his former team. I think if you were Fox,
Speaker 1: I didn't talk to executives, but if I was Fox,
Speaker 1: I would be rooting for Andy Reid Mahomes ma Homes
Speaker 1: the biggest start in the league against this former team.
Speaker 1: That's about Fox got the Super Bowl to get Looking

Speaker 1: I think we hear a lot of fan bases complain
Speaker 1: about their over price quarterback in the Eagles. You know,
Speaker 1: started red flagging Carson Wentz a couple of years after
Speaker 1: they've given them all the money, and even I thought, like,
Speaker 1: you know, I still like Carson Wentz. And clearly they
Speaker 1: were right that they knew things in the building, they
Speaker 1: saw things in practice. They did an incredible job pivoting
Speaker 1: off an enormous contract when the majority of teams really
Speaker 1: struggle and just get derailed. I mean they bounced back.
Speaker 1: I mean they made the playoffs last year. Now, granted
Speaker 1: they were the seventh seed, which historically that was the
Speaker 1: first year they've ever had a seventh seed, but still
Speaker 1: like that was an impressive nine and eight season, and
Speaker 1: then what they did this year. I mean that Listen
Speaker 1: I worked for Howie. He's a wheeler and dealer. He
Speaker 1: put together in a short period of time a real
Speaker 1: roster around some of his older core guys. I mean,
Speaker 1: they got that trade he made for A. J. Brown.
Speaker 1: That's one of the better trades. The same thing with
Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey. I mean those both those organizations today hung
Speaker 1: your hat on just being super aggressive, doing things, just
Speaker 1: not NonStop. And I think a lot of organizations, you
Speaker 1: know there are somewhat in the middle seven, eight, nine,
Speaker 1: ten wins. They're just hesitant to do stuff because that
Speaker 1: is the natural inclination. I think for a lot of
Speaker 1: football people, just like, let this play out, let the
Speaker 1: cream kind of rise on our team. These organizations will
Speaker 1: just keep throwing things. Throw a pick, trade, make this trade,
Speaker 1: Darius Slay, they made a trade. You know, they're just
Speaker 1: they're just will And He's always been like that. There's
Speaker 1: just an organizational philosophy and certain guys to just be
Speaker 1: super aggressive. And the Eagles really really benefit the Niners
Speaker 1: the two to get here. But the Eagles, I mean
Speaker 1: they're in the super Bowl because of it. How he's
Speaker 1: one with multiple quarterbacks and multiple coaches. I mean, if
Speaker 1: he looks up Howie roseman Um, he has not been
Speaker 1: beholden to a singular coach or a singular roster or
Speaker 1: a singular quarterback. Most gms who have had success, there's
Speaker 1: usually a great kach or a great quarterback. How he's
Speaker 1: like the outlier. He's he's one of the multiple guys.
Speaker 1: So um, that roster just is man. They just don't
Speaker 1: have They just don't have flaws. That's it's really I think, Yeah,
Speaker 1: we'll think about this. They fired Andy, which it was
Speaker 1: time for divorce after fourteen years, and they've now made
Speaker 1: two bowls in the period which Andy's gone on to
Speaker 1: have historic success with the Chiefs with two different coaches.
Speaker 1: You know, most most organizations when they fire a really
Speaker 1: good coach getting to get derailed. And it's hard. I mean,
Speaker 1: two super Bowls, two different coaches, two different quarterbacks. We
Speaker 1: should bring up the cowboy thing. I'm sure you talked
Speaker 1: about last week when Mike was asked about Kellen Moore
Speaker 1: gave this kind of cloak and dagger weird response. I
Speaker 1: think it's pretty clear Jerry loves this guy, very loyal
Speaker 1: to the guy, and was okay because they fired a
Speaker 1: bunch of coaches. My theory was, okay, Mike, we're gonna
Speaker 1: let you do it your way. We're gonna put it
Speaker 1: all on you. You make decisions. But today them announcing
Speaker 1: that they fired their huffins of coordinator during the middle
Speaker 1: of these games, it was pretty clear they did it
Speaker 1: like last week, that they just waited because Jerry kind
Speaker 1: of you know, classic like Sunday a f C Championship
Speaker 1: news dump. But there is I mean, it feels a
Speaker 1: little bit like you better make the end of C
Speaker 1: championshipper bus here from Mike McCarthy doesn't. Yeah, And I
Speaker 1: think you know, clearly somebody had to take the fall,
Speaker 1: and so Kellen Moore took the fall. But I think
Speaker 1: the Cowboys are in a weird spot. So Dalton Schultz,
Speaker 1: their productive tight end, could be gone. Um yeah, Zeke
Speaker 1: is an expensive short yardage back. They don't have a
Speaker 1: toh Ceedee Lambs A good one, not a great one. Uh,
Speaker 1: Michael Gallops at three. He can disappear vanish in big spots. Uh.
Speaker 1: The old line is I thought they're rebuilding it. They've
Speaker 1: They've hit a couple. Um, they've got an old Zach Martin,
Speaker 1: a couple of young players I like. But you know,
Speaker 1: the track record on Doc is take away a Marii Cooper,
Speaker 1: take away a solid number one receiver and asked Dad
Speaker 1: to throw more. And we saw it at the end
Speaker 1: of the year when they didn't run the ball, the Knights,
Speaker 1: they didn't run the ball or the days and you
Speaker 1: asked Dad to throw over thirty five times. It gets
Speaker 1: ugly very quickly. So and that's the new reality now
Speaker 1: because I think that will be the number two quarterback
Speaker 1: cap hit and Zeke will be the number two, which
Speaker 1: is really devastating. He'll be the number two running back
Speaker 1: cap hit. He is a short yardage back. He's not
Speaker 1: a top twelve back in the league. He may not
Speaker 1: be top twenty at this point. So, um, you know,
Speaker 1: if if if McCarthy's, I wish him luck. But they
Speaker 1: you know, Jerry overpaid for Jalen Smith, you overpaid for Dak,
Speaker 1: you overpaid for Zeke. And this is exactly what it
Speaker 1: looks like. You can make the playoffs, but you'll be exposed.
Speaker 1: And I think one thing the Cowboys benefit from and
Speaker 1: I throw the Vikings here too because they're stuck with Cousins,
Speaker 1: is the NFC. You know, now Rogers probably traded, He'll
Speaker 1: be gone, you know. The Lions are kind of up
Speaker 1: and coming, a lot of moving parts with the Rams.
Speaker 1: They're old and injured. You can make the playoffs probably
Speaker 1: every year if you have a competent coach and you
Speaker 1: stay relatively healthy as the Cowboys, but you're as we
Speaker 1: see like the peak is probably losing in the second
Speaker 1: round and a decent chance or one and done, you know,
Speaker 1: And and that's of the problem. But that's still better
Speaker 1: than being a six seven win team. You'll just being
Speaker 1: eleven twelve wins a team you're in year out. But
Speaker 1: we can't take you seriously as a Super Bowl container,
Speaker 1: especially the Eagles and the Niners at least for two
Speaker 1: more years. They're not paying huge money for their quarterback,
Speaker 1: so those rosters are going nowhere. And both those organizations
Speaker 1: draft above average. So I mean you can see, um,
Speaker 1: I if brock pretty can get you to the NFC
Speaker 1: Championship game, to me, it feels like San Francisco and
Speaker 1: Philadelphia just based on a roster strength and head coach
Speaker 1: Serriani's obviously worked wonders. I don't think the Niners in Philadelphia.
Speaker 1: I mean, they could have multiple losses in personnel and
Speaker 1: still be the deepest rosters in the NFC. The one thing,
Speaker 1: you know, the Eagles might lose a defensive coordinator to
Speaker 1: become a head coach, and so he'll have to replace
Speaker 1: his first coordinator. I was gonna lose Dmiko Ryan's so
Speaker 1: you would say how often he's hit a home run
Speaker 1: on solo and then he hit a grand slam on Demiko.
Speaker 1: It's pretty hard to just keep rattling, you know, these
Speaker 1: future head coaches. One thing McCarthy benefits fromhim. Maybe he
Speaker 1: knew he wasn't gonna get a job, and Jerry probably
Speaker 1: paid him five six million dollars. But dan quinn did
Speaker 1: come back. That's a huge you know, he doesn't have
Speaker 1: to worry about that because dan quintet Mike McCarthy's reputation,
Speaker 1: you know, and also um Washington has a defensive coach.
Speaker 1: They may stick with him even though they're getting new
Speaker 1: owners there. Sean Payton if he took it would be interesting.
Speaker 1: But I mean, Washington isn't very well run. The Giants
Speaker 1: have Daniel Jones a ceiling. I mean there's good news
Speaker 1: for the Cowboys, is I mean they'll be playing for
Speaker 1: a wild card spot. They're not beating Philadelphia exactly. The
Speaker 1: the NFC is wide open. I mean, Minnesota is not
Speaker 1: going to go eleven and oh and one score games. No,
Speaker 1: so uh. And I think if Seattle doesn't get a
Speaker 1: core her back, you know they're gonna they're gonna run
Speaker 1: Gino back. If if they don't draft a quarterback, which
Speaker 1: a lot of people suspect they won't, So it's it's
Speaker 1: Dallas will vie for a playoff spot. But I think
Speaker 1: now was Zeke and Dacks contracts, those are punitive hits.
Speaker 1: It's you just can't overcome that stuff. Well, speaking of
Speaker 1: Sean Payton, pretty clear he's probably not coming back in
Speaker 1: this cycle. I guess Denver potentially could still offer him
Speaker 1: a bowload of money, but it feels like that job
Speaker 1: a lot of people are a little leary, just a
Speaker 1: lot of moving parts there. The owner. The owner is
Speaker 1: actually the son in law of the really wealthy guy.
Speaker 1: He's kind of wealthy too, but a lot of moving
Speaker 1: parts there. If you look at Sean Payton, brand Staley
Speaker 1: is going to be in a win or go home
Speaker 1: next year, right, He's gonna have to make some hay
Speaker 1: in the playoffs the bills, Like eventually you got Josh Allen,
Speaker 1: you can't just be losing getting your ass kicked in
Speaker 1: the second round. I think there's gonna be tangible pressure
Speaker 1: on Sean McDermott too, at minimum get to the a
Speaker 1: f C Championship game, if not win the a f C.
Speaker 1: And obviously my McCarthy. So we're talking about Herbert Josh Allen,
Speaker 1: those two jobs next year in the cycle. Ideally I
Speaker 1: don't know if he'd want to live in Buffalo, but
Speaker 1: if you have the opportunity to take Josh Allen, I
Speaker 1: don't know how you turn that down. And obviously justin
Speaker 1: Herbert next year and then the Cowboy thing he's always
Speaker 1: been rumored because he's worked there once upon a time.
Speaker 1: To me, it feels like those three jobs the next cycle,
Speaker 1: Sean Payton basically takes you know, eighteen twenty months to
Speaker 1: just kind of relax through this TV thing and then
Speaker 1: be really the number one. I mean he was the
Speaker 1: number one candidate this year, but the buzz on him
Speaker 1: will start being like Gruden levels right when he kept
Speaker 1: going back to Monday Night football. Also, John, we have
Speaker 1: to a plus plus college quarterbacks, Drake Bay and Caleb Williams.
Speaker 1: Good point. So if a team it could it could
Speaker 1: be anybody. If a team ends up with a number
Speaker 1: one spot, could be the Colts, could be anybody then
Speaker 1: that job. So it's gonna be very unique. So we're
Speaker 1: gonna have seven openings because that's the average. One out
Speaker 1: of the seven will probably have a legitimate playoff ish
Speaker 1: quarterback and then two terrible teams getting stars out of
Speaker 1: college who you don't have to pay for four years.
Speaker 1: You have all sorts of so to me, some options
Speaker 1: to me next year, Um, And I don't know what
Speaker 1: jobs will be open, but I think Caleb Williams and
Speaker 1: Drake May. I've said this before, but once a decade
Speaker 1: you get a quarterback Elway, Andrew Lock, Trevor Lawrence, You're like,
Speaker 1: he'll win even in chaos, he'll win a bunch of games.
Speaker 1: Next year, I think we have two. I think those
Speaker 1: guys are different. I think they're I think Caleb is
Speaker 1: totally different. Yeah, I mean, look at Doug Peterson takes
Speaker 1: a Jack's job. He's gonna have that thing for a
Speaker 1: long time, agains Trevor Lawrence. He's a good coach anyway,
Speaker 1: and that thinks Jack's are gonna be the real deal
Speaker 1: if they draft pretty well over the next couple of years.
Speaker 1: This is fun. Well, see you out here in a
Speaker 1: couple of weeks gone, all right, Buddy m and the
Speaker 1: volume
