28
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:51,920
Speaker 1: dive in Eagles forty nine Ers massive game, some stuff

29
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:53,920
Speaker 1: that I've spent a lot of time thinking about, Jalen

30
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:58,000
Speaker 1: Hurts and Brock Purty and wanted to discuss them. Adam

31
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:02,320
Speaker 1: Schefter said there's gonna be seven to ten job openings

32
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:06,640
Speaker 1: this early January. Obviously there are already a couple and

33
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:09,200
Speaker 1: why that would be very very good news for a

34
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:13,360
Speaker 1: guy named Bill Belichick. As well as the AFC playoff picture,

35
00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:17,160
Speaker 1: some thoughts on Harbaugh after the Ohio State Michigan game,

36
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:19,920
Speaker 1: and we will do the Middlecoff mail bag as well

00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:33,440
Speaker 1: promo code. John Eagles forty nine Ers. Let's be real,

61
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:37,600
Speaker 1: we were robbed of a game last year. Now, I've

62
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:39,720
Speaker 1: never thought the Eagles didn't win it fair and square.

63
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:43,600
Speaker 1: They knocked out brock Purty, but the moment perty went down,

64
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:46,360
Speaker 1: and given he was their third string quarterback, they had

65
00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:49,720
Speaker 1: Josh Johnson, who then also got a concussion. The forty

66
00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:51,560
Speaker 1: nine Ers played a half where they couldn't throw the

67
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:54,880
Speaker 1: forward pass. The Eagles could have won that game playing

68
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:58,320
Speaker 1: seven guys on defense. It was not a fair fight.

69
00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:04,200
Speaker 1: Once the Eagles create the mismatch, right, But now we

70
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:07,600
Speaker 1: get at least hopefully a precursor of what's gonna come

71
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:10,240
Speaker 1: again in the playoffs, because I think we all would

72
00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:13,600
Speaker 1: say that the game coming in the NFC Championship Game

73
00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 1: is Eagles forty nine Ers. I think it would be

74
00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:19,360
Speaker 1: an upset at this point if it isn't those two teams.

75
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:23,040
Speaker 1: And I've been thinking long and hard about like Jalen

76
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:26,680
Speaker 1: Hurts is a guy that you know, I did not

77
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:28,960
Speaker 1: like a lot coming out of college because I didn't

78
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:31,520
Speaker 1: think he was a good enough passer. And he's blown

79
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:35,320
Speaker 1: by my expectations and anyone that watches football, right, if

80
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:38,680
Speaker 1: you watch college football, no one would have acted like

81
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:42,440
Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts was going to become what he's become on

82
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:44,920
Speaker 1: the field right now, right, just like the Eagles would

83
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:47,159
Speaker 1: have told you when they drafted him in the second round.

84
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:49,159
Speaker 1: They never thought he was going to be this. And

85
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:51,560
Speaker 1: I was watching the Tiger Woods press conference day. He's

86
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:55,360
Speaker 1: making his comeback after a seventy million surgery to have

87
00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:57,560
Speaker 1: a fused ankle. The dude's got a fuse back, a

88
00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:01,920
Speaker 1: fused ankle, and unlike lot of younger athletes, right he's

89
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:05,359
Speaker 1: in his late forties. He has hundreds of millions of

90
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:08,880
Speaker 1: dollars in the bank, he has an unlimited amount of accolades.

91
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:12,240
Speaker 1: So at this point, he's just playing for the love

92
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:16,719
Speaker 1: of the juice, right, Like I gamble, because if I

93
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:20,120
Speaker 1: go put one thousand dollars on Cowboys Seattle Thursday night

94
00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:23,200
Speaker 1: and I win the bet. Once I actually win the bet,

95
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:26,200
Speaker 1: it doesn't do as much for me as the three

96
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:28,880
Speaker 1: hours of watching the game. So even if I win

97
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:31,480
Speaker 1: nine hundred dollars, right, if I bet am minus one

98
00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:35,080
Speaker 1: to ten, the juice in the action of that game

99
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:38,080
Speaker 1: is basically what I'm paying the thousand dollars for now.

100
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:40,600
Speaker 1: If you lose, it sucks. But it's also the juice

101
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:42,840
Speaker 1: and being on the edge of your seat. That's why

102
00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:47,440
Speaker 1: athletes compete, right to be in the arena, the competition.

103
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:50,239
Speaker 1: It's why these guys you're able to pay Steph Curry

104
00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:53,599
Speaker 1: fifty million dollars, Patrick Mahomes fifty million dollars and you

105
00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:57,800
Speaker 1: see zero drop off in their effort, right, because it's

106
00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:02,000
Speaker 1: not ultimately about the money when you're actually playing. And

107
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:05,520
Speaker 1: one thing I underestimated with Jalen, And this is the

108
00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:09,800
Speaker 1: hardest part about the scouting community because I say it

109
00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:13,600
Speaker 1: all the time in any other industry. If I'm acquiring

110
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:18,400
Speaker 1: a thirty forty fifty million dollar a year company, two

111
00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:22,200
Speaker 1: hundred million dollar purchase acquiring assets, I have a pretty

112
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:26,560
Speaker 1: good idea on an Excel spreadsheet of its liabilities, of

113
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:29,560
Speaker 1: its cash flow, of what I need to be worried about,

114
00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:32,360
Speaker 1: of some of the long term question marks of its

115
00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:35,839
Speaker 1: fixed costs. Like everything's pretty black and white. Yet when

116
00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:40,640
Speaker 1: I draft a player, I can't measure the stuff upstairs.

117
00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:43,080
Speaker 1: I can't measure your wiring. I can do a lot

118
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:46,039
Speaker 1: of research on it. I can feel pretty good about

119
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:49,400
Speaker 1: how seriously you take football, how much you care. But

120
00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:53,320
Speaker 1: I don't ultimately know until I'm around you. And it's

121
00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:55,800
Speaker 1: why people often complain, like how do you keep missing

122
00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:59,960
Speaker 1: on these draft picks? Because these draft picks are human beings, right,

123
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:04,680
Speaker 1: Human beings change. I'm dramatically different at thirty nine years

124
00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:07,440
Speaker 1: old than I was at thirty five years old, let

125
00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:10,559
Speaker 1: alone twenty five or twenty years old. If you ain't grown,

126
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:14,320
Speaker 1: you're dying. And I think most human beings will probably agree.

127
00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:20,320
Speaker 1: We change with time, successes, failures, money, family, you name it.

128
00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:25,520
Speaker 1: We grow, We just and not always positively. And the

129
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:27,920
Speaker 1: one thing you see with Jalen, and this is the

130
00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:31,280
Speaker 1: thing I respect the most, is how seriously he takes

131
00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:35,320
Speaker 1: football like this thing Like listen, they get to play

132
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:38,720
Speaker 1: a kid's game for a lot of money, and ultimately

133
00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:41,960
Speaker 1: it's fun. But I don't care what you do, whether

134
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:45,840
Speaker 1: you're a musician, whether you're a football player, whether you're

135
00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:50,560
Speaker 1: a podcast. Everything eventually becomes a job. And whether a

136
00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:52,760
Speaker 1: lot of people aspire to do what you're doing, a

137
00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:54,520
Speaker 1: lot of people want to be sitting in your seat.

138
00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:58,360
Speaker 1: You never want to take that for granted. But when

139
00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:01,600
Speaker 1: you're paid or when you. Your job is to do something,

140
00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:04,640
Speaker 1: whatever that may be, you better take it pretty seriously,

141
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:08,240
Speaker 1: you know. And I think that at least the quarterbacks

142
00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:11,760
Speaker 1: that I've grown up, especially in my high school to

143
00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:17,480
Speaker 1: present day life watching Peyton Manning, Tom Brady, Drew Brees,

144
00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:22,920
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers, Patrick Mahomes, Now they take this shit seriously,

145
00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:27,200
Speaker 1: like this ain't just a side hobby. Hell, this ain't

146
00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:30,120
Speaker 1: just I kind of like football. This is a way

147
00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:33,520
Speaker 1: of life. And now your personality shows through it. But

148
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:36,720
Speaker 1: I think specifically when you watch Peyton and Tom, it

149
00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:39,840
Speaker 1: was like, goddamn that they are not screwing around when

150
00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:42,040
Speaker 1: it comes to football. And I think the same thing

151
00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:46,320
Speaker 1: with Jalen Hurts. And now listen his mannerisms when he

152
00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:49,720
Speaker 1: scores and he doesn't celebrate, like his focus it's like

153
00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:52,040
Speaker 1: he's a coach on the field and he said over

154
00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:54,719
Speaker 1: and over what he's taken from Nick Saban. When you

155
00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:57,080
Speaker 1: think Nick Saban, you think, God, that is a serious

156
00:08:57,280 --> 00:08:59,800
Speaker 1: m effort, right, And when I think Jalen Hurts, I

157
00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:02,600
Speaker 1: think very very seriously. But he's not serious in the

158
00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:06,200
Speaker 1: sense where he can't interact with anyone because his teammates

159
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:08,520
Speaker 1: swear by the guy and I think part of that

160
00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:12,200
Speaker 1: is whenever you are working with or working for, and

161
00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:14,480
Speaker 1: let's face it, when you're the quarterback, everyone's kind of

162
00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:17,480
Speaker 1: underneath you, especially on the pay scale. They kind of

163
00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:19,560
Speaker 1: look at you like you're the guy when you walk

164
00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:22,079
Speaker 1: in the building. The team goes as you go, right

165
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:24,640
Speaker 1: the Eagles, when they're playing like shit, usually Jalen's playing

166
00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:27,640
Speaker 1: like shit. When Jalen starts throwing touchdowns, making big plays,

167
00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:29,959
Speaker 1: they start looking a lot better, like he's the heartbeat

168
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:32,520
Speaker 1: of the team. You have to be able to depend

169
00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:35,920
Speaker 1: on these guys. One of the reasons I turned on

170
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:38,480
Speaker 1: Trey Lance in terms of a player, I'm like, yeah,

171
00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:40,640
Speaker 1: I just get rid of them. I'm over this because

172
00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:43,440
Speaker 1: I saw the players and I put a lot of

173
00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:47,959
Speaker 1: stock into what elite players think about their teammates. When

174
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:49,439
Speaker 1: they put all their chips in the middle of the

175
00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:51,720
Speaker 1: table and they go, I love this guy. I want

176
00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:54,079
Speaker 1: to play with this guy, even when he has limitations.

177
00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:57,280
Speaker 1: I go, God, they must bring something to the table

178
00:09:57,320 --> 00:09:59,160
Speaker 1: that we don't get to see. And I saw the

179
00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:00,680
Speaker 1: forty nine ers do that for a long time with

180
00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:04,040
Speaker 1: Jimmy Garoppolo, who was a very limited player, but they

181
00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:07,600
Speaker 1: really liked them, and being liked by your teammates matters

182
00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:11,760
Speaker 1: a lot, but not just gaining respect from them. Is

183
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:14,920
Speaker 1: through your work ethic, is through your toughness, and is

184
00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:17,480
Speaker 1: through knowing that you are reliable in gaming. It doesn't

185
00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:19,680
Speaker 1: mean you're always gonna win, but it means that you

186
00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:23,920
Speaker 1: will do everything humanly possible to help your team. And

187
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:27,280
Speaker 1: I think Jalen obviously has been very productive and they've

188
00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:29,560
Speaker 1: won a lot of games. But this is why they

189
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:34,920
Speaker 1: turned on Carson Wentz because Jason Kelce, Fletcher Cox, Brandon Graham,

190
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:38,880
Speaker 1: these guys. Lane Johnson saw something in this guy that

191
00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:44,040
Speaker 1: is not quantifiable. And listen, he has quantifiable skills. He

192
00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:47,680
Speaker 1: throws a great deep ball, he's an excellent athlete, he's

193
00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:49,880
Speaker 1: a great runner of the football. I mean, he's got

194
00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:53,440
Speaker 1: eleven touchdowns through whatever ten games, Like he's gonna get

195
00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:57,079
Speaker 1: fifteen touchdowns on the ground on top of twenty eight

196
00:10:57,120 --> 00:11:00,400
Speaker 1: that he's gonna throw, So he's gonna accumulate I don't know,

197
00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:03,280
Speaker 1: forty five total touchdowns. Right when you think about some

198
00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:06,280
Speaker 1: of those guys like throwing forty forty five fifty touchdowns,

199
00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:09,160
Speaker 1: most especially the pocket quarterbacks, the Brady's, the Mannings, they're

200
00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:12,160
Speaker 1: not running for any So if Jalen throws thirty touchdowns

201
00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:15,880
Speaker 1: and accounts for another fifteen with his legs, like, that's

202
00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:19,160
Speaker 1: the same fucking thing. Like he scores a lot of points,

203
00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:22,480
Speaker 1: and you gotta bed. It's a productive based business, production

204
00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:25,080
Speaker 1: based business. Right, you win, you lose, You help your

205
00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:26,800
Speaker 1: team win, or you lose. You either get the job

206
00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:29,000
Speaker 1: done or you don't. You get fired, you get cut,

207
00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:32,200
Speaker 1: like it's it's the ultimate meritocracy, like Frank Reich said it.

208
00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:34,160
Speaker 1: Like listen, I like Dave Temper, I have a lot

209
00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:35,920
Speaker 1: of respect for him, but this is a business and

210
00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:37,640
Speaker 1: I didn't get the job done. I got fired. Like

211
00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:41,200
Speaker 1: it's understandable he didn't fire me because we're six and five.

212
00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:45,480
Speaker 1: We're one and ten, right, we fucking suck. And I

213
00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:48,960
Speaker 1: think you go back to Jalen, his separating factor and

214
00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:51,280
Speaker 1: still to the moment against the Bills, from the moment

215
00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:54,400
Speaker 1: he got into the league is upstairs his mind, and

216
00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:56,280
Speaker 1: it goes back to some of the incidents over the

217
00:11:56,280 --> 00:12:00,920
Speaker 1: course of his career. Last year, Siriani lighten them up, unfazed,

218
00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:03,560
Speaker 1: didn't yell back, not that he can't if he wants

219
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:05,440
Speaker 1: to yell back, that's fine. You gotta be able to

220
00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:09,440
Speaker 1: take that and mental toughness to me with athletes. But

221
00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:12,400
Speaker 1: I think in the business community is what separates people

222
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:15,880
Speaker 1: because it's so easy anyone when things are going well,

223
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:17,880
Speaker 1: you're making a lot of money, you're winning a lot

224
00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:20,520
Speaker 1: of games, you're throwing a lot of touchdowns. Right, if

225
00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:22,439
Speaker 1: you're a movie star, your fucking movies are a hit,

226
00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:25,679
Speaker 1: it's easy to be excited. It's easy to want to

227
00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:27,920
Speaker 1: get out of bed and enjoy life. How about when

228
00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:30,680
Speaker 1: shit's going poorly? How about when you lost four games

229
00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:33,480
Speaker 1: in a row. How about when you're injured, how about

230
00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:36,320
Speaker 1: when your team's not as good. Those are the type

231
00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:39,720
Speaker 1: guys ultimately you want. And it's hard, right, And this

232
00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:42,640
Speaker 1: is the hardest part about scouting. How do I quantify

233
00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:45,439
Speaker 1: what they've been through? Well, look at this quarterback matchup

234
00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:49,920
Speaker 1: Jalen Now, listen, he had first class college problems. He

235
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:52,760
Speaker 1: was at Alabama, he got benched, he was told by

236
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:55,360
Speaker 1: Nick Saban, you're not good enough, we don't want you

237
00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:57,520
Speaker 1: to be the starting quarterback. And then he went to

238
00:12:57,520 --> 00:13:01,280
Speaker 1: Oklahoma and he had an elite year. Right, but he

239
00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:03,760
Speaker 1: was told like whether it's Nick Saban or whether you're

240
00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:06,319
Speaker 1: at Fresno State, if you're told you're not the starter,

241
00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:10,240
Speaker 1: like I'm sorry. Rock Purdy begged better programs to give

242
00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:12,840
Speaker 1: him a scholarship. They wouldn't. He was mister Arizona. And

243
00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:16,520
Speaker 1: I looked up today in twenty nineteen, the All Big

244
00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:20,280
Speaker 1: Twelve Quarterback first team was Jalen Hurts. The All Big

245
00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:24,080
Speaker 1: Twelve second team was Brock Purdy. Then Jalen Hurts goes

246
00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:27,520
Speaker 1: to the NFL twenty twenty twenty twenty one first team

247
00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:31,760
Speaker 1: All Big Twelve Quarterback Rock Purty and I see similarities. Now,

248
00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:36,080
Speaker 1: Jalen has more physical ability, he's got a better arm,

249
00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:39,239
Speaker 1: he's a better runner, and he's just bigger and stronger.

250
00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:43,000
Speaker 1: But I think both guys upstairs. One of the reasons

251
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:45,680
Speaker 1: that one guy's second round pick came in with Carson

252
00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:48,560
Speaker 1: Wentz was never gonna start, wasn't named the starter like

253
00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:50,360
Speaker 1: this guy. Most people thought it was a fucking crazy

254
00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:53,600
Speaker 1: pick by Howie Roseman. When when you're the seventh round pick,

255
00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:56,000
Speaker 1: no one's even paying attention to you. I didn't even

256
00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:58,120
Speaker 1: think the guy was gonna make the team. And now,

257
00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:00,679
Speaker 1: for whatever, four or five years later, Jalen Hurts he's

258
00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:03,680
Speaker 1: a superstar two years later with Brock Purdy like as

259
00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:06,040
Speaker 1: he goes, the forty nine ers go, like when he's

260
00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:09,880
Speaker 1: throwing touchdowns, they're winning. So it just shows you sometimes

261
00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:13,679
Speaker 1: going through a little adversity, having the mental fortitude you

262
00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:17,120
Speaker 1: have to have it. It's impossible to not have mental

263
00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:21,200
Speaker 1: toughness and be a good NFL player. It's definitely impossible

264
00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:25,000
Speaker 1: to be a high end NFL quarterback. And I think

265
00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:27,160
Speaker 1: Jalen has it in spades, and I've seen it with

266
00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:31,240
Speaker 1: Purty as well. So very very excited for this game. Massive,

267
00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:33,520
Speaker 1: massive matchup. I think there's more in the line for

268
00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:37,400
Speaker 1: the forty nine ers because ultimately, like the Eagles are

269
00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:39,840
Speaker 1: gonna be the one seed. I'm sorry, they just are.

270
00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:41,520
Speaker 1: So the Niners are gonna have to go on the

271
00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:44,160
Speaker 1: road again, and the Eagles have just beat the Chiefs

272
00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:47,680
Speaker 1: and the Bills knockdown, drag out games. I would imagine

273
00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:49,480
Speaker 1: they're gonna be a little gas for this. They do

274
00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:51,640
Speaker 1: not need to win this game. To me, the Niners do.

275
00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:55,560
Speaker 1: If the Niners don't win it, coming off extra rest

276
00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:58,640
Speaker 1: on Thursday, it'd be hard to take them as seriously

277
00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:02,240
Speaker 1: against the Eagles in the playoffs, right, I think if

278
00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:04,200
Speaker 1: they win this game. It doesn't mean the Eagles are

279
00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:07,040
Speaker 1: not gonna win in the playoffs, but it makes this

280
00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:10,000
Speaker 1: game just I think it has a chance to have

281
00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:13,320
Speaker 1: a little bit, especially the way the NFL is shaping out.

282
00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:15,280
Speaker 1: Like when I was a kid with the Cowboys and

283
00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:17,080
Speaker 1: the forty nine ers, Like whoever won that game was

284
00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:19,760
Speaker 1: gonna win the Super Bowl. I think that's probably the case.

285
00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:22,040
Speaker 1: And the best part, like those games, we're gonna get

286
00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:24,720
Speaker 1: it twice. It happened forever with Peyton Manning wins with

287
00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:27,840
Speaker 1: the Colts and the Patriots. It's like, whoever's winning that game,

288
00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:29,560
Speaker 1: and the Patriots won a lot more than Peyton did,

289
00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:32,840
Speaker 1: was gonna win the Super Bowl. So I fucking fired up.

290
00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:37,800
Speaker 1: Adam Schefter told Pat McAfee that he thought seven to

291
00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:43,440
Speaker 1: ten job openings this Black Monday, you know that week.

292
00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:45,840
Speaker 1: There's already been a couple, right, The Panthers fire their coach,

293
00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:48,920
Speaker 1: The Raiders have fired their coach. I wrote down, you know,

294
00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:50,400
Speaker 1: the Chargers, I think we all think are going to

295
00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:53,160
Speaker 1: fire their coach. The Bears, I'm sorry, ebra Flus, you're

296
00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:56,600
Speaker 1: seven and twenty four, like you're done. I think the Patriots,

297
00:15:56,720 --> 00:15:58,680
Speaker 1: I think it's fair to say that Belichick's not going

298
00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:02,200
Speaker 1: to be the coach moving forward Washington, Ron Rivera is

299
00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:03,440
Speaker 1: not gonna be the coach. And then there are a

300
00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:06,920
Speaker 1: lot of curve balls right like Tampa Todd Bowles, New

301
00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:09,960
Speaker 1: Orleans with Dennis Allen. I don't even know. Maybe there's

302
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:12,080
Speaker 1: a couple like Coud Sean McVay just go to Amazon

303
00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:14,000
Speaker 1: for twenty million dollars a year. I'm sure there are

304
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:17,080
Speaker 1: a couple, you know, Mike Vrabel. The conversations won't die,

305
00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:19,680
Speaker 1: even though I think that's crazy, but it is what

306
00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:22,240
Speaker 1: it is. So there're gonna be a ton of openings

307
00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:25,760
Speaker 1: even if there are just seven. Ask yourself, this, are

308
00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:30,080
Speaker 1: there seven candidates? Are there seven candidates right now that

309
00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:32,960
Speaker 1: you would feel good about? Start naming them? Like even

310
00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:34,920
Speaker 1: if you're listening to this, probably big football fan, like

311
00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:38,400
Speaker 1: who is And let's assume this. Jim Harbaugh is not

312
00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:42,720
Speaker 1: some guarantee to leave Michigan. As Collins says, his dad

313
00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:45,920
Speaker 1: lives next to him. He fucking loves the place. They've

314
00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:48,360
Speaker 1: stuck by him, his team. Sweet, he's really got the

315
00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:52,160
Speaker 1: thing rolling. Why can't he become a Kirby or Nick Saban?

316
00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:54,360
Speaker 1: I mean, what if he wins the national champion, what

317
00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:56,200
Speaker 1: if he wants to win another one? You know, there's

318
00:16:56,240 --> 00:16:58,920
Speaker 1: no guarantee. I think we all assume that. But he's

319
00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:01,400
Speaker 1: been there for a long time. I'm now, I don't

320
00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:04,080
Speaker 1: have great faith to be like Jim Harbaugh's definitely coming back.

321
00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:07,919
Speaker 1: So if he doesn't come back, Beside the Lions, guy like,

322
00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:09,919
Speaker 1: who are the great coordinators? Who's like, oh, that's the

323
00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:13,040
Speaker 1: next Sean McVay or Kyle Shanahan. To me, do you

324
00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:16,320
Speaker 1: know what this shaping up? Bill Belichick is gonna be

325
00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:18,800
Speaker 1: the pick of the litter. He is gonna be the

326
00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:22,040
Speaker 1: team or the guy that teams are gonna want because

327
00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:23,600
Speaker 1: he does a couple of things for you right away.

328
00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:27,320
Speaker 1: Let's face it, he steals headlines. If you're the Chargers

329
00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:31,240
Speaker 1: or you're the Bears and you hire Bill Belichick or Washington,

330
00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:34,399
Speaker 1: you don't think like, I'm sorry, I don't care how

331
00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:36,720
Speaker 1: shitty these last couple of years have gotten. Google the

332
00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:41,480
Speaker 1: fucking resume. It would make waves. Now, obviously, the story

333
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:45,080
Speaker 1: the moment he is relieved of his duties. The Patriots

334
00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:47,399
Speaker 1: are cool with trading him, however, that would work, That

335
00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:50,639
Speaker 1: would be a big story. But whenever he goes somewhere else,

336
00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:54,199
Speaker 1: it'll be by far one of the biggest stories in

337
00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:57,960
Speaker 1: recent memory. When it comes to coaches, think about Sean

338
00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:01,800
Speaker 1: Payton this year. He's a great example. I think hiring coordinators.

339
00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:04,960
Speaker 1: Let's say the Bills were to fire Sean McDermott. Can

340
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:07,399
Speaker 1: you afford with Josh Allen, same thing with the Chargers

341
00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:11,680
Speaker 1: and Justin Herbert to risk it on a coordinator? Can

342
00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:14,120
Speaker 1: you do that? Like I listen, if you listened yesterday,

343
00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:16,440
Speaker 1: you know the information I've been told by people in

344
00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:19,800
Speaker 1: the league about Brian Daboll. It ain't pretty inside. So

345
00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:22,159
Speaker 1: you just think next year it's gonna get better. I

346
00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:24,760
Speaker 1: don't you think he's just gonna change his ways? What

347
00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:27,480
Speaker 1: if these coaches want to leave, what if they have

348
00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:30,680
Speaker 1: a whole new staff. Right their quarterback situation is a disaster.

349
00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:32,879
Speaker 1: They just won a meaningless game, so it's gonna be

350
00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:34,800
Speaker 1: harder for them to get one of the top quarterbacks.

351
00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:38,800
Speaker 1: And this notion that every coordinator is just some can't

352
00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:43,280
Speaker 1: miss guy. It's like quarterbacks in the draft. And I

353
00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:46,439
Speaker 1: thought Sean Payton early, like most people like, this is crazy.

354
00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:48,520
Speaker 1: This is not gonna work. But there's a reason they

355
00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:50,480
Speaker 1: pay him eighteen million dollars a year. He knows what

356
00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:53,000
Speaker 1: he's doing, and he can handle being a head coach

357
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:55,320
Speaker 1: because being a head coach is about more than calling plays.

358
00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:59,399
Speaker 1: It's about more than you know developing a scheme against

359
00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:02,119
Speaker 1: a certain defense. It's about knowing when to get rid

360
00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:04,399
Speaker 1: of the locker room cancer. It's about supporting your coaches.

361
00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:07,040
Speaker 1: It's about being hard on your coaches. It's about supporting

362
00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:09,200
Speaker 1: your players. It's about being hard on your players. It's

363
00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:13,440
Speaker 1: about managing the entire operation, and a lot like quarterbacks,

364
00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:17,920
Speaker 1: anyone can handle and pump their chest out. When you're winning.

365
00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:20,960
Speaker 1: You win a couple games in a row, everyone's on

366
00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:23,320
Speaker 1: their knees giving you a reach around. Oh it's great, Yeah,

367
00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:25,320
Speaker 1: it's easy. How about when you lose three in a row.

368
00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:28,120
Speaker 1: How about when your team gives up seventy freaking points.

369
00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:30,760
Speaker 1: Everyone thinks you're a fraud. Everyone wants you to fire

370
00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:33,520
Speaker 1: their coordinator, everyone thinks all your players suck. Can you

371
00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:35,920
Speaker 1: keep the ship from sinking to the bottom of the lake,

372
00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:39,679
Speaker 1: from just hitting the iceberg like the Titanic and just

373
00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:42,200
Speaker 1: going under and everyone dying and the season being a

374
00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:46,560
Speaker 1: waste like last year with Nathaniel Hackett and he can now.

375
00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:48,520
Speaker 1: Are the Broncos gonna win the Super Bowl this year?

376
00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:50,399
Speaker 1: I don't think so. Are they even a lock to

377
00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:52,840
Speaker 1: make the playoffs? Of course not. But I think we

378
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:55,560
Speaker 1: all have to acknowledge, like Sean Payton knows what he's doing.

379
00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:59,240
Speaker 1: Is he, you know, Belichick in his prime or Andy Reid?

380
00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:03,240
Speaker 1: Probably not? But is he pretty freaking good relative to

381
00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:06,440
Speaker 1: the rest of the NFL? Hell yeah, hell yeah. So.

382
00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:08,679
Speaker 1: I think when you're hiring these coaches, and if you're

383
00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:10,760
Speaker 1: a team, if you're the Chargers and you're paying all

384
00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:13,800
Speaker 1: this money to Justin Herbert, I can't afford to hire

385
00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:18,040
Speaker 1: a coordinator. I can't risk hiring I don't care how

386
00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:21,639
Speaker 1: awesome the coordinator's resume looks. What if it's just one

387
00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:24,840
Speaker 1: of those guys that flops, then I just waste more

388
00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:27,520
Speaker 1: time with the quarterback. I'm paying all this money. How

389
00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:31,080
Speaker 1: is Bill Belichick not the guy right now? Maybe Bill

390
00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:34,520
Speaker 1: doesn't want to come to California. He's a Northeast guy,

391
00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:37,199
Speaker 1: likes kind of that corridor, which I get it. We

392
00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:40,320
Speaker 1: all are product of what we like, right I like

393
00:20:40,359 --> 00:20:43,639
Speaker 1: the West Coast, though, you know, i'd move to Nashville

394
00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:47,879
Speaker 1: or Jupiter, Florida tomorrow if it made sense, if it

395
00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:52,280
Speaker 1: penciled right, maybe eventually I do, but you know, as

396
00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:55,240
Speaker 1: you get older, maybe things change. Maybe it's just professionally

397
00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:58,200
Speaker 1: you look for the best opportunity. And I think he's

398
00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:01,240
Speaker 1: going to be hard pressed. Argers are much more equipped

399
00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:04,879
Speaker 1: to win if they have Herbert then the unknown of

400
00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:08,840
Speaker 1: drafting one of these rookie quarterbacks. So I think everything

401
00:21:08,840 --> 00:21:10,560
Speaker 1: he went through the last couple of years with Mac

402
00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:15,680
Speaker 1: Jones has to probably push him toward dealing with a

403
00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:18,800
Speaker 1: veteran and the moment he becomes available, and let's face it,

404
00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:22,160
Speaker 1: he's gonna become available. He's not gonna coach the Patriots

405
00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:25,280
Speaker 1: next year if you watched them, like it's over. And

406
00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:28,840
Speaker 1: sometimes divorces aren't just like everybody hates each other. Sometimes

407
00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:32,520
Speaker 1: just like it's time, it's time. Not every breakup is contentious,

408
00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:35,560
Speaker 1: it's not. It's like listen, I mean, it's hard, it's emotional.

409
00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:37,720
Speaker 1: You have a lot of equity built up if you're

410
00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:40,679
Speaker 1: the Crafts and your bill, but sometimes just time, and

411
00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:43,200
Speaker 1: I think it's just it's just kind of time. And

412
00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:45,919
Speaker 1: I think the Chargers make a lot of sense, a

413
00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:49,800
Speaker 1: lot of sense for Bill. One thing I was I

414
00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:52,639
Speaker 1: was looking at is the AFC playoff picture. A lot

415
00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:56,440
Speaker 1: of people have been like, call your segment the hurd hierarchy,

416
00:21:56,480 --> 00:21:58,520
Speaker 1: but do it the middle and just do all the

417
00:21:58,520 --> 00:22:01,040
Speaker 1: middle teams. I was thinking, like, could I do call

418
00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:03,680
Speaker 1: it like the mud and just do the worst teams.

419
00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:06,640
Speaker 1: I haven't quite figured it out. It hasn't quite come

420
00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:08,840
Speaker 1: together in my mind, and I think about it a lot,

421
00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:12,440
Speaker 1: trying to find a specific name for to do something different,

422
00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:14,680
Speaker 1: because like people hit me in the DMS and they're

423
00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:17,360
Speaker 1: ran like any anyone, can you know, rank the top

424
00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:20,800
Speaker 1: teams like everyone does different versions of that. Now ranking

425
00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:23,240
Speaker 1: the shitty teams that would get kind of boring. I

426
00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:25,919
Speaker 1: do think the middle would be kind of fun. And

427
00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:27,480
Speaker 1: when I say the middle, like some of the fringe

428
00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:30,120
Speaker 1: wild card teams, some of the teams right on the outskirt.

429
00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:32,719
Speaker 1: But I did look at the playoff picture today and

430
00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:38,120
Speaker 1: I saw that in the AFC basically five through ten,

431
00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:41,560
Speaker 1: so there are six teams for basically three spots. The

432
00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:44,919
Speaker 1: Steelers are five, the Browns are six, the Colts somehow

433
00:22:44,920 --> 00:22:51,640
Speaker 1: are seven. Texans, Denver, Buffalo, And what I think is crazy.

434
00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:55,399
Speaker 1: And I said this yesterday I've never seen a team

435
00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:59,600
Speaker 1: get more credit for getting yards but not many points.

436
00:22:59,840 --> 00:23:04,160
Speaker 1: The Pittsburgh Steelers last week against a Jake Browning led Bengals.

437
00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:07,200
Speaker 1: It's like, we got four hundred and twenty two yards.

438
00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:08,960
Speaker 1: It's like, oh shit, you score thirty. What do you

439
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:11,879
Speaker 1: win the game by thirty to thirteen? No, we wanted

440
00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:15,240
Speaker 1: sixteen to ten. But we're headed in the right direction.

441
00:23:15,359 --> 00:23:18,720
Speaker 1: It's like Jesus, the bar is low, which, in fairness,

442
00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:22,639
Speaker 1: the bar was low. But again, think about the last

443
00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:25,560
Speaker 1: time a team made a coordinator change and you talked

444
00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:29,200
Speaker 1: about like yards, Well, hey, they've been scoring fifteen points.

445
00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:32,080
Speaker 1: They scored twenty seven points. It was awesome. They scored

446
00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:37,920
Speaker 1: sixteen points. Belichick said this forever. Yards are so overrated.

447
00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:42,199
Speaker 1: If I lead the league in yards allowed, but I

448
00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:45,840
Speaker 1: have the number one scoring defense, who cares? Red zone

449
00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:50,359
Speaker 1: defense matters? Thread holding you to field goals, not touchdowns turnovers?

450
00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:53,520
Speaker 1: How many yards I give up to me? It's somewhat

451
00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:56,080
Speaker 1: of a hollow stat in the sense of are you

452
00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:59,679
Speaker 1: converting those to points? Right? Are you doing anything with that?

453
00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:03,520
Speaker 1: So I think the Steelers, listen, they're gonna make it.

454
00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:06,240
Speaker 1: They play the Bengals again, just based on their schedule,

455
00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:10,640
Speaker 1: but I didn't see anything last week that would make

456
00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:15,320
Speaker 1: me feel stronger about where they're going. And then the Browns,

457
00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:17,160
Speaker 1: I would say that's one team that I'm a little

458
00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:20,960
Speaker 1: nervous about. One their star player just got injured, right,

459
00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:23,359
Speaker 1: he had an MRI's day to day, But if Miles

460
00:24:23,359 --> 00:24:26,520
Speaker 1: Garrett is not one hundred percent, that's a big problem

461
00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:29,879
Speaker 1: for them. And two, I'm sorry, as long as Dorian

462
00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:35,160
Speaker 1: Thompson Robinson is your quarterback, I'm not taking you seriously.

463
00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:37,400
Speaker 1: And I said this, I think I tweeted this out

464
00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:41,240
Speaker 1: during the game when he got rocked in Denver and

465
00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:43,920
Speaker 1: they threw a flag for you know, I don't even

466
00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:46,640
Speaker 1: know what the unsportsmanlike conduct late hit whatever the fuck

467
00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:49,840
Speaker 1: on the on the quarterback. The defender, in my mind,

468
00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:52,439
Speaker 1: did nothing wrong. Maybe he launched a little bit. To me,

469
00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:55,680
Speaker 1: he's excelling through the quarterback. It was on the backup

470
00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:59,600
Speaker 1: quarterback for running out basically right into the guy. And

471
00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:03,120
Speaker 1: I'm all listen, I am the number one proponent. Part

472
00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:06,840
Speaker 1: of the reason football has separated over the years and

473
00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:08,879
Speaker 1: it's in its own little world right now. Is the

474
00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:12,280
Speaker 1: number one television property in America is because of the

475
00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:15,399
Speaker 1: star quarterbacks, and because of offense, it's not even disputable.

476
00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:19,760
Speaker 1: So I'm all for protecting Patrick Mahomes, Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson,

477
00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:23,159
Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts, whoever, the guys Dak Prescott, the guys that

478
00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:25,920
Speaker 1: matter on the big teams that are printing the money.

479
00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:28,879
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I don't think the rules should apply to

480
00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:32,640
Speaker 1: the backups, like the moment your backup quarterback starts the game.

481
00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:35,720
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be a little more liberal with how I

482
00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:38,080
Speaker 1: call some of these late hits because some of these

483
00:25:38,119 --> 00:25:41,680
Speaker 1: late hits are on the player. He just scrambling around

484
00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:43,879
Speaker 1: like a duck with his head cut off, and then

485
00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:46,200
Speaker 1: he gets molly wopped because he doesn't know where he's going,

486
00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:48,600
Speaker 1: Like why does he deserve the benefit of the doubt.

487
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:51,119
Speaker 1: One thing I saw Tom Brady talk about, and I

488
00:25:51,160 --> 00:25:54,440
Speaker 1: agree this notion with this word defenseless. We're on a

489
00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:57,440
Speaker 1: football field. If you play pee wee football, let alone

490
00:25:57,520 --> 00:25:59,639
Speaker 1: high school football all the way to the pros. Nobody

491
00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:02,280
Speaker 1: has ever defenseless on a football field. So when you're

492
00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:04,560
Speaker 1: going over the middle of the field, nobody is defenseless.

493
00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:07,200
Speaker 1: He knows other people are there. But a quarterback part

494
00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:08,640
Speaker 1: of It is like get rid of the ball, why

495
00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:11,520
Speaker 1: cause you can get hit. So I'm a big proponent

496
00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:16,399
Speaker 1: of backup quarterbacks not getting the same treatment as the

497
00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:20,000
Speaker 1: star quarterbacks. Protect the star quarterbacks piss people off on

498
00:26:20,040 --> 00:26:22,720
Speaker 1: social media with kind of weak calls all four it.

499
00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:26,240
Speaker 1: We need those guys. But Dorian Thompson Robinson getting the

500
00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:29,920
Speaker 1: same treatment, Steph Curry and Kobe Bryant Lebron James get

501
00:26:29,960 --> 00:26:33,400
Speaker 1: a different level of treatment than Jordan Poole and whoever

502
00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:35,640
Speaker 1: else the scrubs are in the NBA. They're not all

503
00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:39,480
Speaker 1: treated the same. Why they're not equals In sports, equality

504
00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:42,720
Speaker 1: doesn't exist. Some guys more important, more valuable, just like

505
00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:45,000
Speaker 1: the private sector and in business. I would treat the

506
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:47,600
Speaker 1: backup quarterbacks the same. So as long as you're rolling

507
00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:51,439
Speaker 1: out dtr and PJ. Walker, your defense is awesome. But

508
00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:55,840
Speaker 1: this isn't nineteen eighty seven. You're not going anywhere. I'm sorry, Indy,

509
00:26:56,440 --> 00:26:58,439
Speaker 1: maybe I'm gonna be late to the party. But and

510
00:26:58,520 --> 00:27:00,600
Speaker 1: Garner Minshew has made some play, and honestly, I just

511
00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:02,800
Speaker 1: looked at their schedule, their next couple of games, like

512
00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:05,680
Speaker 1: the Titans and someone else shitty. I mean, they're gonna

513
00:27:05,680 --> 00:27:08,000
Speaker 1: find a way probably to win some games. I mean,

514
00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:10,399
Speaker 1: to continue to win some games. Though they're also the

515
00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:12,680
Speaker 1: type team like are they guaranteed to beat the Titans?

516
00:27:12,920 --> 00:27:15,960
Speaker 1: With Minshew, it's pretty incredible what they've done. If they

517
00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:18,040
Speaker 1: were to make the playoffs this year with Gardner Minshew,

518
00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:21,160
Speaker 1: you could give this guy vote. Chane Sikin, you really

519
00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:24,120
Speaker 1: could as coached the year. But I'm gonna be shocked.

520
00:27:24,160 --> 00:27:26,240
Speaker 1: Like to me, I like teams eight, nine and ten

521
00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:30,080
Speaker 1: more than any five, six or seven. Now the Steelers

522
00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:33,800
Speaker 1: just based on record, they're getting probably their minimum getting

523
00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:35,520
Speaker 1: to ten, and I think they'll probably get to eleven.

524
00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:39,359
Speaker 1: There's a huge game this weekend between Houston and Denver.

525
00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:42,639
Speaker 1: Whoever wins that game, especially if Denver to win it,

526
00:27:43,280 --> 00:27:45,480
Speaker 1: I think we'd start talking like could they be a

527
00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:49,680
Speaker 1: wild card team? And I'm sorry, like if Josh Allen's

528
00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:52,320
Speaker 1: gonna play like that, you have to understand if Josh

529
00:27:52,359 --> 00:27:56,879
Speaker 1: Allen played like that against I don't know, ninety five

530
00:27:56,960 --> 00:28:00,560
Speaker 1: percent of the NFL, like remove the Niners, the Eagles,

531
00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:03,600
Speaker 1: and maybe the Chiefs. If Mahomes was having an out

532
00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:07,680
Speaker 1: of body experience, they're winning that game. They're winning that game.

533
00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:10,880
Speaker 1: So everyone acting like the Bills just shit the bet

534
00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:15,400
Speaker 1: and losing that game is crippling to you know, where

535
00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:17,920
Speaker 1: they were because of their record, but it doesn't end them.

536
00:28:18,320 --> 00:28:20,879
Speaker 1: If that is the way they're gonna play, they're gonna

537
00:28:20,920 --> 00:28:24,600
Speaker 1: win games. So I still take Buffalo seriously, not seriously

538
00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:27,320
Speaker 1: as like some super Bowl contender, but I would not

539
00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:29,720
Speaker 1: just count them out because they lost that devastating game

540
00:28:29,760 --> 00:28:34,200
Speaker 1: to the Eagles. One thing I've been thinking about, it's

541
00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:37,120
Speaker 1: been in my head since watching some of that Houston

542
00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:40,880
Speaker 1: Jacksonville game, is do you know what's crazy is how

543
00:28:40,920 --> 00:28:43,280
Speaker 1: fast things change. That's why I like the stock market.

544
00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:46,480
Speaker 1: It's why I like talking players and coaches in football.

545
00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:49,080
Speaker 1: Everything's fluid, you know. I mean you could have some

546
00:28:49,320 --> 00:28:55,120
Speaker 1: long bets, right, you know, player in a company, but

547
00:28:55,280 --> 00:28:57,520
Speaker 1: you better be ready to pivot. Like if you love

548
00:28:57,560 --> 00:29:00,640
Speaker 1: Bryce Young, okay, totally get it. But if he still

549
00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:03,200
Speaker 1: looks like this in a year, like, you're gonna have

550
00:29:03,200 --> 00:29:05,280
Speaker 1: problems and you're eventually gonna have to look in the

551
00:29:05,280 --> 00:29:09,520
Speaker 1: mirror to admnute to yourself. Right, nobody liked brock Purty

552
00:29:09,560 --> 00:29:12,320
Speaker 1: coming out. We all have to admit he's pretty freaking good, right,

553
00:29:12,360 --> 00:29:15,360
Speaker 1: It's just it's just a fact. So I think when

554
00:29:15,400 --> 00:29:20,160
Speaker 1: you look at CJ. Stroud relative to Trevor Lawrence, I

555
00:29:20,200 --> 00:29:21,920
Speaker 1: think for the next five years, I would take CJ.

556
00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:25,360
Speaker 1: Stroud And if you factored in the money like part

557
00:29:25,360 --> 00:29:27,800
Speaker 1: of it is Trevor, is if I'm the Jags, like

558
00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:29,800
Speaker 1: I'm not paying Trevor after this season, I would pay

559
00:29:29,840 --> 00:29:32,480
Speaker 1: him after his fourth year. But CJ. Stroud's would be

560
00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:34,600
Speaker 1: in here too. He's still got multiple years on his

561
00:29:34,680 --> 00:29:36,280
Speaker 1: rookie contract before I even have to pick up his

562
00:29:36,280 --> 00:29:40,000
Speaker 1: fifth year option. So right now, CJ's numbers compared to

563
00:29:40,080 --> 00:29:43,240
Speaker 1: him obviously a lot better. He is seven more touchdown

564
00:29:43,280 --> 00:29:47,160
Speaker 1: passes and two less interceptions. Now, Trevor's a little more accurate.

565
00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:49,960
Speaker 1: But you can't watch that game and listen. I'm not

566
00:29:49,960 --> 00:29:52,720
Speaker 1: trying to act like Lawrence has some scrub. I think

567
00:29:52,720 --> 00:29:54,520
Speaker 1: a lot of people do that when a guy struggles,

568
00:29:54,560 --> 00:29:57,400
Speaker 1: like can we have a conversation, Like, yeah, we're having

569
00:29:57,440 --> 00:29:59,880
Speaker 1: a conversation. He's not as good as we thought he

570
00:29:59,920 --> 00:30:01,600
Speaker 1: was to be. What's a conversation. You want to act

571
00:30:01,640 --> 00:30:04,120
Speaker 1: like he fucking sucks. No, he doesn't stink. He's not

572
00:30:04,240 --> 00:30:07,960
Speaker 1: Derek Carror, Baker Mayfield or anything. Desmond Ritter, but he's

573
00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:10,640
Speaker 1: not playing as well as the hype he was compared

574
00:30:10,640 --> 00:30:13,440
Speaker 1: to Andrew Luck. And Andrew Luck immediately was dramatically better.

575
00:30:13,640 --> 00:30:15,120
Speaker 1: So I think we have to acknowledge this guy's not

576
00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:17,760
Speaker 1: Andrew Luck. Just because you're not Andrew Luck doesn't mean

577
00:30:17,760 --> 00:30:20,600
Speaker 1: you're not a playoff level guy, which he is. But

578
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:23,880
Speaker 1: relative to the way he was, you know, kind of anointed.

579
00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:27,280
Speaker 1: You know, CJ. Stroud for a guy that went second overall,

580
00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:29,640
Speaker 1: did not have the momentum of like, oh this guy

581
00:30:29,720 --> 00:30:31,840
Speaker 1: some camp miss gonna be some great player. And that's

582
00:30:31,840 --> 00:30:35,520
Speaker 1: what makes a draft fun, right because if every time

583
00:30:35,560 --> 00:30:38,000
Speaker 1: we just anointed a guy does a can't miss, you know,

584
00:30:38,720 --> 00:30:41,120
Speaker 1: drafting would be easy. But we know that's not the case.

585
00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:43,200
Speaker 1: So I would say, if you're the Houston Texans, you

586
00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:45,640
Speaker 1: got to be pretty excited. What one more quick thing,

587
00:30:46,080 --> 00:30:50,160
Speaker 1: That Ohio State Michigan game one was fantastic, But two,

588
00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:54,040
Speaker 1: how many teams that have you know, an elite coach,

589
00:30:54,960 --> 00:30:58,440
Speaker 1: a Kirby Smart, a Nick Saban, whoever Lincoln Riley. We

590
00:30:58,480 --> 00:31:00,960
Speaker 1: can argue how good Lincoln Riley is, but the Lincoln

591
00:31:01,040 --> 00:31:04,280
Speaker 1: Riley before we viewed him this year could go on

592
00:31:04,320 --> 00:31:07,840
Speaker 1: a three game stretch and finish it off against you know,

593
00:31:07,920 --> 00:31:10,320
Speaker 1: not just your rival, but clearly one of the best

594
00:31:10,680 --> 00:31:13,840
Speaker 1: four or five six teams in the country, even at home,

595
00:31:14,160 --> 00:31:16,120
Speaker 1: and win the game. It's one thing if you're just

596
00:31:16,120 --> 00:31:17,800
Speaker 1: beating the shit out of him, but play a tight

597
00:31:17,840 --> 00:31:20,440
Speaker 1: game and find a way to win it. And I

598
00:31:20,480 --> 00:31:23,360
Speaker 1: think the answer is slim to none. I just do.

599
00:31:23,640 --> 00:31:25,920
Speaker 1: I do not think an assistant coach, even if the

600
00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:28,640
Speaker 1: other guy got to coach all week, would make that

601
00:31:28,720 --> 00:31:31,280
Speaker 1: big of an, you know, an impact on game day

602
00:31:31,320 --> 00:31:34,960
Speaker 1: of just when things got tight, could handle it. Michigan lost.

603
00:31:35,280 --> 00:31:36,400
Speaker 1: You know a guy that's going to go in the

604
00:31:36,440 --> 00:31:40,120
Speaker 1: top couple rounds their team captain, star guard. Now you

605
00:31:40,120 --> 00:31:42,320
Speaker 1: can say it's a guard, but still dude had his

606
00:31:42,440 --> 00:31:45,800
Speaker 1: leg shattered. I saw JJ McCarthy say when I look

607
00:31:45,880 --> 00:31:48,320
Speaker 1: down and I saw one of my teammates holding his

608
00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:52,360
Speaker 1: ankle in place, That's a sight I wouldn't wish upon anybody.

609
00:31:53,080 --> 00:31:57,040
Speaker 1: And I just saw Joel Klatt posted something that you know,

610
00:31:57,200 --> 00:31:59,960
Speaker 1: the vibe of that play and them channing his name.

611
00:32:00,160 --> 00:32:01,840
Speaker 1: He said it was just an emotional time in there.

612
00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:06,280
Speaker 1: Next play, Korum scores a touchdown. But one thing I

613
00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:10,160
Speaker 1: think that an underappreciated part of Jim Harbaugh is how

614
00:32:10,160 --> 00:32:13,760
Speaker 1: good he is at hiring assistance. I think Harbaugh's ability

615
00:32:14,200 --> 00:32:18,040
Speaker 1: to not only hire elite assistants, but capable young guys,

616
00:32:18,480 --> 00:32:21,280
Speaker 1: mentor them and put them in positions is like one

617
00:32:21,320 --> 00:32:24,640
Speaker 1: of his most underrated attributes, because when you think Jim Harbaugh,

618
00:32:24,760 --> 00:32:27,200
Speaker 1: you just think this physical team. His defense is always good,

619
00:32:27,240 --> 00:32:29,400
Speaker 1: his run game is always good. I don't think we

620
00:32:29,480 --> 00:32:32,920
Speaker 1: do enough a good enough job of talking about his assistance.

621
00:32:33,680 --> 00:32:38,000
Speaker 1: And Sharon Moore, the interim coach, is offensive coordinator, his

622
00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:40,080
Speaker 1: online coach. I mean, six seven years ago, the guy

623
00:32:40,280 --> 00:32:42,320
Speaker 1: just was hired as a tight end coach. And then this

624
00:32:42,360 --> 00:32:44,120
Speaker 1: guy's a couple of years. This guy's like thirty seven

625
00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:47,760
Speaker 1: years old. He played for Bob Stoops at Oklahoma. He's

626
00:32:47,800 --> 00:32:50,680
Speaker 1: just clearly a football guy. And they did not skip

627
00:32:50,720 --> 00:32:53,440
Speaker 1: a beat. And I heard Coward have his take was like,

628
00:32:53,560 --> 00:32:55,920
Speaker 1: anytime a business can lose the leader and not skip

629
00:32:55,960 --> 00:32:58,320
Speaker 1: a beat, that speaks to the leader is kind of

630
00:32:58,320 --> 00:33:01,600
Speaker 1: good at what he's doing, Jim Harbaugh the last three years.

631
00:33:01,680 --> 00:33:05,240
Speaker 1: Here's the other thing I often have said that, you know,

632
00:33:05,240 --> 00:33:07,320
Speaker 1: when it comes to this sign stealing stuff, I thought

633
00:33:07,320 --> 00:33:11,120
Speaker 1: it was a little overhyped and over just we made

634
00:33:11,160 --> 00:33:13,400
Speaker 1: a bigger deal of it than it was. Though it

635
00:33:13,520 --> 00:33:16,600
Speaker 1: was a juicy story, like what do you even say? Now,

636
00:33:17,400 --> 00:33:20,960
Speaker 1: obviously Ohio State would have changed their signs. Harbaugh wasn't

637
00:33:20,960 --> 00:33:23,200
Speaker 1: even there and they beat him in a big game

638
00:33:23,240 --> 00:33:26,040
Speaker 1: and a not a big, a tight game. So like,

639
00:33:26,480 --> 00:33:29,600
Speaker 1: Ryan Day actually earned my respect more in that loss

640
00:33:30,160 --> 00:33:32,560
Speaker 1: than he has in any previous game I've ever watched

641
00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:35,520
Speaker 1: him play. Like that was an impressive loss. His team

642
00:33:35,600 --> 00:33:38,080
Speaker 1: was physical, his team didn't get just like shoved around.

643
00:33:38,680 --> 00:33:41,080
Speaker 1: They just weren't good enough. Now he kind of gets

644
00:33:41,120 --> 00:33:44,040
Speaker 1: tight in big moments and ultimately his quarterback. He has

645
00:33:44,040 --> 00:33:47,560
Speaker 1: a big downgrade from last year to this guy. But like, listen,

646
00:33:47,640 --> 00:33:50,160
Speaker 1: I'm not one to act like Ryan Day some scrub,

647
00:33:50,400 --> 00:33:53,040
Speaker 1: though I hear a lot of people act like it's

648
00:33:53,080 --> 00:33:57,920
Speaker 1: insane that Ryan Day should be fired. Where yeah, no,

649
00:33:57,920 --> 00:34:00,000
Speaker 1: no one's acting like if he's fired, he's jimbo Fit

650
00:34:00,960 --> 00:34:04,040
Speaker 1: or Tom Allen at Indiana. But you're paid a premium

651
00:34:04,080 --> 00:34:07,040
Speaker 1: in Ohio State. You're talking nine ten million dollars. He

652
00:34:07,160 --> 00:34:11,239
Speaker 1: is the highest salary pool in the country, meaning his assistance.

653
00:34:11,640 --> 00:34:14,759
Speaker 1: He has five assistants in college that are paid over

654
00:34:14,800 --> 00:34:17,640
Speaker 1: a million dollars a year. It's one thing to lose

655
00:34:17,640 --> 00:34:20,360
Speaker 1: to Jim Harbaugh. It's another thing to lose to a

656
00:34:20,400 --> 00:34:23,640
Speaker 1: thirty seven year old O line coach. It just is

657
00:34:23,840 --> 00:34:26,600
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, So I understand there's a difference in a

658
00:34:26,640 --> 00:34:32,000
Speaker 1: message board acting like Ryan Day sucks ass. It just

659
00:34:32,040 --> 00:34:34,360
Speaker 1: needs to be run out of town. Yeah, that's stupid,

660
00:34:34,440 --> 00:34:36,640
Speaker 1: But to go is this guy good enough? Is this

661
00:34:36,680 --> 00:34:38,520
Speaker 1: guy good enough? I always hear like, well, how do

662
00:34:38,560 --> 00:34:42,840
Speaker 1: you up your Ohio state? You pay an unlimited amount

663
00:34:42,880 --> 00:34:45,279
Speaker 1: of money. You're not a and m who has to

664
00:34:45,280 --> 00:34:47,719
Speaker 1: pay just to kind of be relevant. You pay a

665
00:34:47,760 --> 00:34:51,719
Speaker 1: premium because you're also a premium. And like, if he

666
00:34:51,760 --> 00:34:55,160
Speaker 1: can't beat Michigan, that is a major problem. Now he's

667
00:34:55,200 --> 00:34:57,680
Speaker 1: obviously not going anywhere this year, you would think. But

668
00:34:57,760 --> 00:35:00,000
Speaker 1: if he were to lose to Michigan again next year,

669
00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:03,360
Speaker 1: even if he wins all these other games, I'm sorry, Like,

670
00:35:03,600 --> 00:35:07,239
Speaker 1: I'm gonna feel no sympathy if they fire. Here's the

671
00:35:07,239 --> 00:35:10,839
Speaker 1: other thing. The Big Ten is gonna get a lot

672
00:35:10,920 --> 00:35:15,200
Speaker 1: more difficult next year. So just playing Rutgers in Maryland

673
00:35:15,200 --> 00:35:18,000
Speaker 1: and Minnesota, like those games, those days are kind of over.

674
00:35:18,640 --> 00:35:23,520
Speaker 1: Oregon Washington, even USC and UCLA who are down, are

675
00:35:23,560 --> 00:35:28,160
Speaker 1: better than those programs. Now Wisconsin, Penn State, like it's

676
00:35:28,280 --> 00:35:31,000
Speaker 1: it's just gonna be more difficult. And I've always supported

677
00:35:32,080 --> 00:35:34,880
Speaker 1: I think depth in your conference when making the argument

678
00:35:34,960 --> 00:35:39,200
Speaker 1: around bulls is a little overrated. The only importance of

679
00:35:39,239 --> 00:35:41,600
Speaker 1: your conference at the end of the year is how

680
00:35:41,680 --> 00:35:43,759
Speaker 1: good are your good teams? Now if we want to

681
00:35:43,840 --> 00:35:47,680
Speaker 1: value like how great the wins are, but like whether Alabama,

682
00:35:47,680 --> 00:35:51,320
Speaker 1: whether we're nitpicking in Alabama win, Alabama's really good, Georgia

683
00:35:51,440 --> 00:35:54,880
Speaker 1: is excellent, Ohio State and Michigan are awesome. Right, so

684
00:35:54,920 --> 00:35:59,160
Speaker 1: if Rutgers sucks, if Maryland sucks, if Iowa sucks, whatever,

685
00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:02,360
Speaker 1: you know, those two teams are good. Like the PAC twelve,

686
00:36:02,440 --> 00:36:05,280
Speaker 1: like you know, might have even been in a weird way,

687
00:36:05,719 --> 00:36:09,040
Speaker 1: got overrated because everyone was nostalgic that they were leaving.

688
00:36:09,560 --> 00:36:12,160
Speaker 1: But like their two teams, Oregon and Washington are really good.

689
00:36:13,320 --> 00:36:17,720
Speaker 1: So I think that Harbaugh has just always put together

690
00:36:17,760 --> 00:36:22,080
Speaker 1: a really good staff And this weekend was on big

691
00:36:22,120 --> 00:36:25,840
Speaker 1: time display. And to me, that's the argument against Ryan Day. Yeah,

692
00:36:26,440 --> 00:36:28,840
Speaker 1: the dude, that guy's gonna be a head coach eventually,

693
00:36:29,040 --> 00:36:32,160
Speaker 1: I would imagine, right, but you're not allowed to lose

694
00:36:32,200 --> 00:36:36,120
Speaker 1: to them. You're just not like Brian Kelly. He's getting

695
00:36:36,120 --> 00:36:37,920
Speaker 1: bailed out a little bit because he might have the

696
00:36:37,920 --> 00:36:41,200
Speaker 1: Heisman Trophy, but I can't pay you ninety million dollars

697
00:36:41,239 --> 00:36:42,840
Speaker 1: and you lose the Lane Kiff in a Ole Miss.

698
00:36:43,120 --> 00:36:46,839
Speaker 1: You're allowed to lose to Georgia and Alabama. Ideally we'd

699
00:36:46,880 --> 00:36:48,239
Speaker 1: like to beat those guys every once in a while,

700
00:36:48,239 --> 00:36:50,439
Speaker 1: and he did last year. You're not allowed to lose

701
00:36:50,480 --> 00:36:53,520
Speaker 1: Old Miss. It's not acceptable. Like you can lose the

702
00:36:53,560 --> 00:36:56,279
Speaker 1: Florida State Week one, that's okay. Not allowed to lose

703
00:36:56,320 --> 00:36:59,719
Speaker 1: Old Miss. It cannot happen. And that's one thing that's

704
00:36:59,760 --> 00:37:03,200
Speaker 1: Ryan Day's argument is like I'm losing to nobody except him,

705
00:37:03,560 --> 00:37:05,200
Speaker 1: But there gets to a point where, like you have

706
00:37:05,280 --> 00:37:09,040
Speaker 1: to beat him, you do and right now, that program

707
00:37:10,080 --> 00:37:12,560
Speaker 1: I have zero affiliation with that area of the country.

708
00:37:13,200 --> 00:37:17,279
Speaker 1: That game's fucking awesome. That game is badass. I mean

709
00:37:17,680 --> 00:37:22,480
Speaker 1: it really is. There's a level of like Auburn Alabama,

710
00:37:22,560 --> 00:37:25,080
Speaker 1: for example, I watched a lot of that game. Auburn

711
00:37:25,160 --> 00:37:27,320
Speaker 1: had just lost to New Mexico State. It's your classic

712
00:37:27,400 --> 00:37:30,520
Speaker 1: rivalry game where they're clearly not as good as Alabama,

713
00:37:30,600 --> 00:37:32,399
Speaker 1: but it's on the road. They're gonna play him tight,

714
00:37:32,440 --> 00:37:34,720
Speaker 1: and it's just cool to watch. Same thing with Washington

715
00:37:34,719 --> 00:37:39,080
Speaker 1: and Washington State. The talent discrepancy of the two teams

716
00:37:39,120 --> 00:37:41,520
Speaker 1: is wide, but it's kind of you know, David vers

717
00:37:41,560 --> 00:37:45,600
Speaker 1: Goliath that Michigan Ohio State als like Duke and North

718
00:37:45,600 --> 00:37:47,760
Speaker 1: Carolina and basketball. When they're both go, it's like Gliath

719
00:37:47,800 --> 00:37:50,680
Speaker 1: vers Goliath, And there's something kind of cool about Gliath

720
00:37:50,760 --> 00:37:54,480
Speaker 1: vers Goliath, right, And that's what makes that rivalry so

721
00:37:54,640 --> 00:37:57,320
Speaker 1: bad ass. It never really feels like the little engine

722
00:37:57,320 --> 00:37:59,520
Speaker 1: that could versus the big bad wolf. It's always like,

723
00:38:00,120 --> 00:38:03,480
Speaker 1: now these are two bohemus. It's like Amazon versus Google.

724
00:38:03,719 --> 00:38:05,560
Speaker 1: You just don't see that anywhere else, right, you don't.

725
00:38:05,680 --> 00:38:09,040
Speaker 1: In any of the rivalry games, they weren't even remotely close.

726
00:38:09,280 --> 00:38:12,120
Speaker 1: They were enormous spreads even though they were close, And

727
00:38:12,200 --> 00:38:14,120
Speaker 1: part of what makes it intriguing to watch, like when

728
00:38:14,160 --> 00:38:16,960
Speaker 1: Jalen Milroe has to make that pass to barely beat

729
00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:18,920
Speaker 1: Auburn and it's like, God, could Auburn pull off this

730
00:38:18,960 --> 00:38:22,239
Speaker 1: crazy upset? There is no upset in Michigan Ohio State.

731
00:38:22,360 --> 00:38:24,440
Speaker 1: It might as well just be a Pickham game. Just

732
00:38:24,480 --> 00:38:28,239
Speaker 1: a great product. Okay, before we get out here, it's

733
00:38:28,280 --> 00:38:31,400
Speaker 1: time for this week's player. I thought might give almost

734
00:38:31,440 --> 00:38:34,480
Speaker 1: almost anything to redo his game. Brought to you by

735
00:38:34,600 --> 00:38:37,759
Speaker 1: Uber Eats. A lot of respect for this guy. He's

736
00:38:37,800 --> 00:38:40,720
Speaker 1: a journeyman. He's been about it feels like twenty different

737
00:38:40,760 --> 00:38:44,319
Speaker 1: teams in the NFL. He started for. I think three

738
00:38:44,400 --> 00:38:48,120
Speaker 1: or four, definitely three teams over the last calendar year,

739
00:38:48,360 --> 00:38:53,839
Speaker 1: the Titans, the Cardinals, Minnesota. But you play Monday night

740
00:38:53,840 --> 00:38:58,040
Speaker 1: Football and you throw four interceptions and your coach after

741
00:38:58,080 --> 00:39:00,200
Speaker 1: the game was like, yeah, I was thinking about out

742
00:39:00,640 --> 00:39:05,480
Speaker 1: benching him for Nick Mullins. I think Joshua Dobbs the

743
00:39:05,560 --> 00:39:08,719
Speaker 1: hype train and he earned it. This wasn't just created hype,

744
00:39:08,760 --> 00:39:11,920
Speaker 1: it was substance behind it kind of ran out of gas.

745
00:39:12,560 --> 00:39:15,000
Speaker 1: So I think Joshua Dobbs would be one of those

746
00:39:15,040 --> 00:39:19,080
Speaker 1: guys Monday night football. You can argue it's an awful game.

747
00:39:19,560 --> 00:39:22,920
Speaker 1: Millions of people are watching you throw all those interceptions,

748
00:39:22,960 --> 00:39:24,840
Speaker 1: even if some of them are tipped off you know,

749
00:39:24,960 --> 00:39:28,439
Speaker 1: guy's hands or helmets. That's a tough tough box score

750
00:39:28,480 --> 00:39:30,600
Speaker 1: to see. And to lose a game when the other team,

751
00:39:30,920 --> 00:39:33,400
Speaker 1: you know, can't score a touchdown. I think Joshua Dobbs

752
00:39:33,800 --> 00:39:35,440
Speaker 1: is an example of a guy that would like that

753
00:39:35,520 --> 00:39:39,000
Speaker 1: one back. So that's this week's almost almost Anything Player

754
00:39:39,040 --> 00:39:41,880
Speaker 1: of the Week, and you can order almost almost anything

755
00:39:41,960 --> 00:39:45,600
Speaker 1: with uber eatz, the official on demand partner of the NFL.

756
00:39:48,360 --> 00:39:51,120
Speaker 1: And let's answer some questions. You guys know how you

757
00:39:51,120 --> 00:39:54,560
Speaker 1: get on the mailbag at John Middlecoff at John Middlecoff

758
00:39:54,600 --> 00:39:57,960
Speaker 1: as the Instagram firing those dms and get your question

759
00:39:58,560 --> 00:40:02,640
Speaker 1: answered here on the show. Let's start with Arturo. What

760
00:40:02,800 --> 00:40:07,480
Speaker 1: up John? Longtime listener, first time messenger? I had one question.

761
00:40:08,239 --> 00:40:12,920
Speaker 1: I understand that we haven't fired Brandon Staley yet, but

762
00:40:13,000 --> 00:40:16,160
Speaker 1: I'm sure we will. My question to you is, if

763
00:40:16,200 --> 00:40:18,680
Speaker 1: we were to hire Harbaugh as our next head coach,

764
00:40:19,239 --> 00:40:23,200
Speaker 1: hypothetically speaking, my team has been known to underachieve. What

765
00:40:23,239 --> 00:40:26,239
Speaker 1: are some things you believe he could bring to the

766
00:40:26,280 --> 00:40:28,680
Speaker 1: table to turn the franchise around? And do you believe

767
00:40:29,360 --> 00:40:31,839
Speaker 1: that if we did hire him, we could really make

768
00:40:31,840 --> 00:40:36,239
Speaker 1: a run of the championship. Well, I think this. When

769
00:40:36,320 --> 00:40:40,279
Speaker 1: Jim Harbosch shows up places, they immediately improve and then

770
00:40:40,320 --> 00:40:43,400
Speaker 1: they immediately win pretty big. Now, I understand he's never

771
00:40:43,400 --> 00:40:45,239
Speaker 1: won a Super Bowl, and as of right now, he's

772
00:40:45,280 --> 00:40:48,799
Speaker 1: never won a national championship. But I think relative to

773
00:40:49,280 --> 00:40:51,919
Speaker 1: ninety eight percent of other coaches in college and pro,

774
00:40:52,719 --> 00:40:55,080
Speaker 1: he is better than everyone else. When's the last time

775
00:40:55,080 --> 00:40:58,680
Speaker 1: you guys had a good coach? Marty Schottenheimer, right, Brandon Staley,

776
00:40:58,800 --> 00:41:01,520
Speaker 1: Anthony Lynn, Mike McCoy, Like, you guys are kind of

777
00:41:01,520 --> 00:41:07,760
Speaker 1: recycling different versions of average mediocre, And I think Harbaugh

778
00:41:07,840 --> 00:41:11,320
Speaker 1: would not just immediately give you credibility, but he'd immediately

779
00:41:11,360 --> 00:41:13,920
Speaker 1: take you to another level. Now does that mean win

780
00:41:13,920 --> 00:41:15,920
Speaker 1: a Super Bowl? I don't know, but you'd go to

781
00:41:15,960 --> 00:41:17,960
Speaker 1: the playoffs. Because I watch him with the forty nine Ers.

782
00:41:19,360 --> 00:41:22,720
Speaker 1: The GM and him hated each other's guts. The Niners

783
00:41:22,760 --> 00:41:25,120
Speaker 1: were not gonna give him an extension. The team was

784
00:41:25,160 --> 00:41:29,359
Speaker 1: falling apart of the seams. Willis retired, Kaepernick wasn't playing well,

785
00:41:29,760 --> 00:41:32,040
Speaker 1: and then went eight and eight, Like, think about your

786
00:41:32,200 --> 00:41:34,439
Speaker 1: same thing that's going on with your team. You're gonna

787
00:41:34,480 --> 00:41:37,480
Speaker 1: win like six games. His team, in the ugliest of

788
00:41:37,520 --> 00:41:40,680
Speaker 1: times win eight and eight. So I'd be pretty bullish

789
00:41:40,760 --> 00:41:42,600
Speaker 1: if Jim Harball was my coach. If I were you

790
00:41:43,200 --> 00:41:45,960
Speaker 1: long time riding in love the Pod, I sort of

791
00:41:45,960 --> 00:41:49,759
Speaker 1: had an epiphany today thinking about the enormous Jim Bow

792
00:41:49,800 --> 00:41:54,040
Speaker 1: buyout and the Deshaun Watson contract. Colin likes to call

793
00:41:54,080 --> 00:41:58,040
Speaker 1: the Browns a low self esteem organization, and I think

794
00:41:58,080 --> 00:42:00,879
Speaker 1: it could probably make the same claim of A and M.

795
00:42:01,560 --> 00:42:06,600
Speaker 1: Similar to the Browns, the Aggie's are perennially underachieved and

796
00:42:06,680 --> 00:42:10,239
Speaker 1: have always been the little brother to Texas. I think

797
00:42:10,280 --> 00:42:13,480
Speaker 1: both organizations took a leap of faith on a bad contract.

798
00:42:13,960 --> 00:42:16,480
Speaker 1: I think there is a legitimate correlation between their low

799
00:42:16,520 --> 00:42:20,920
Speaker 1: self esteem and result in decision making. Well, the Browns

800
00:42:20,920 --> 00:42:24,440
Speaker 1: were very, very desperate, like that's not debatable. The only

801
00:42:24,480 --> 00:42:26,720
Speaker 1: way they could get to Sean to accept a trade

802
00:42:26,719 --> 00:42:29,600
Speaker 1: to their team was to give him the contract, and

803
00:42:29,680 --> 00:42:32,840
Speaker 1: their owner got involved. And I think in the NFL,

804
00:42:34,160 --> 00:42:38,600
Speaker 1: the moment the owner starts to get involved in player acquisition, trades,

805
00:42:38,800 --> 00:42:45,160
Speaker 1: draft picks, especially of that magnitude, usually disaster strikes. So

806
00:42:45,480 --> 00:42:48,840
Speaker 1: I think the situations are separate because listen, when they

807
00:42:48,920 --> 00:42:50,960
Speaker 1: hired Jimbo Fisher, I'd be lying if I said that

808
00:42:51,000 --> 00:42:53,200
Speaker 1: I think this is going to be pretty good. He

809
00:42:53,280 --> 00:42:56,520
Speaker 1: won at Florida State, won a national championship, got him

810
00:42:56,520 --> 00:42:58,640
Speaker 1: back to the playoffs again, they ended up losing to Oregon,

811
00:42:58,760 --> 00:43:02,520
Speaker 1: But like, it's not not like his resume didn't speak

812
00:43:02,560 --> 00:43:06,480
Speaker 1: to success as a head coach. I think one problem

813
00:43:06,480 --> 00:43:09,440
Speaker 1: in college is when they got you by the balls,

814
00:43:09,719 --> 00:43:11,840
Speaker 1: and you know he had a little success at Texas

815
00:43:11,840 --> 00:43:15,000
Speaker 1: A and M. When Jimmy Sexton is your agent, he's

816
00:43:15,040 --> 00:43:18,640
Speaker 1: going to destroy your athletic director who is just a

817
00:43:18,680 --> 00:43:23,239
Speaker 1: crowd fundraiser and a president who's in the academia. So

818
00:43:23,560 --> 00:43:26,520
Speaker 1: I don't think they're quite like. They just circle you

819
00:43:26,560 --> 00:43:31,080
Speaker 1: like sharks and they take advantage. Like for example, I

820
00:43:31,120 --> 00:43:34,400
Speaker 1: truly believe in my heart of hearts that Jimmy Sexton

821
00:43:34,719 --> 00:43:37,919
Speaker 1: leveraged Kentucky with the A and M thing to get

822
00:43:37,920 --> 00:43:40,319
Speaker 1: his client, Mark Stoops more money, which is his job.

823
00:43:40,320 --> 00:43:45,719
Speaker 1: It's his prerogative. There is no better business if you're

824
00:43:45,960 --> 00:43:49,640
Speaker 1: an agent then to represent college coaches. Because you're dealing

825
00:43:49,680 --> 00:43:52,840
Speaker 1: with ads and presidents. You have the advantage. Jimmy is

826
00:43:52,880 --> 00:43:55,960
Speaker 1: such a big advantage. So yeah, a little. I don't

827
00:43:56,000 --> 00:43:59,480
Speaker 1: even think it's low self esteem because Jimbo was a

828
00:43:59,520 --> 00:44:02,520
Speaker 1: good like that. That was a smart hire. It really was.

829
00:44:03,239 --> 00:44:07,280
Speaker 1: Look who Texas is hired, Tom Herman's, Charlie Strong's even Sark.

830
00:44:08,280 --> 00:44:10,920
Speaker 1: I wouldn't call Sark exactly like Nick Saban or Kirby

831
00:44:10,960 --> 00:44:14,600
Speaker 1: smart when they hired him. So I think A and

832
00:44:14,719 --> 00:44:17,040
Speaker 1: M's more about they got they got taken advantage of

833
00:44:17,080 --> 00:44:19,360
Speaker 1: with the buyout. Now, is there a low self esteem

834
00:44:20,680 --> 00:44:25,319
Speaker 1: with the buyout portion? Maybe a little. Sometimes. Let's face it,

835
00:44:25,440 --> 00:44:27,960
Speaker 1: we just do bad business deals. I've done them, You've

836
00:44:27,960 --> 00:44:30,320
Speaker 1: done them. Now. There's a difference between a bad business

837
00:44:30,360 --> 00:44:33,359
Speaker 1: deal that might cost you one thousand dollars or if

838
00:44:33,400 --> 00:44:35,680
Speaker 1: you run a business that might cost you fifty grand.

839
00:44:35,760 --> 00:44:38,719
Speaker 1: That is not that big a deal. And there's another one.

840
00:44:38,719 --> 00:44:41,000
Speaker 1: If you run a business like this might bankrupt us

841
00:44:41,640 --> 00:44:43,920
Speaker 1: or this might force us to lay off five people.

842
00:44:44,640 --> 00:44:46,719
Speaker 1: And when you make a business decision like A and

843
00:44:46,840 --> 00:44:48,560
Speaker 1: M did, even if you have the funds to pay

844
00:44:48,600 --> 00:44:52,319
Speaker 1: it off, it has ripple effects. So I think it's

845
00:44:52,360 --> 00:44:56,759
Speaker 1: more the Haslim thing was period, point blank desperation. To me,

846
00:44:56,880 --> 00:44:58,719
Speaker 1: the A and M thing was just like, I think

847
00:44:58,719 --> 00:45:00,239
Speaker 1: you thought you had a guy that could I hope

848
00:45:00,239 --> 00:45:03,160
Speaker 1: you compete against Saban and Kirby, and it turned out

849
00:45:03,200 --> 00:45:06,920
Speaker 1: he couldn't. And I don't necessarily blame them for thinking that.

850
00:45:07,080 --> 00:45:09,440
Speaker 1: I will support that way, call me an idiot, but

851
00:45:09,640 --> 00:45:14,160
Speaker 1: I do. If you're the Bills, do you consider trading

852
00:45:14,239 --> 00:45:17,280
Speaker 1: Josh Allen for an incredible haul of picks and starting

853
00:45:17,280 --> 00:45:21,279
Speaker 1: over caphit jumps eighteen million to something like forty seven

854
00:45:21,360 --> 00:45:24,920
Speaker 1: next year, assuming the Russell Wilson deal is the absolute

855
00:45:24,960 --> 00:45:27,440
Speaker 1: floor for such a deal. Also, I live in Phoenix

856
00:45:27,880 --> 00:45:31,600
Speaker 1: right near the Raven played there many times. Nice DM

857
00:45:31,640 --> 00:45:35,719
Speaker 1: meeting you, Drew, I would say absolutely not, Absolutely not,

858
00:45:36,680 --> 00:45:39,319
Speaker 1: because what's the point of making a trade like that.

859
00:45:39,360 --> 00:45:41,759
Speaker 1: If you're the Bills, You're just then going to try

860
00:45:41,760 --> 00:45:45,560
Speaker 1: to acquire another Josh Allen. You have the hardest guy

861
00:45:45,600 --> 00:45:48,799
Speaker 1: to find. Josh Allen's cap hit to me kind of

862
00:45:48,800 --> 00:45:52,600
Speaker 1: irrelevant honestly, because he's worth every penny of the caphit.

863
00:45:53,239 --> 00:45:56,480
Speaker 1: Why we've talked about Deshaun Watson's cap hit going from

864
00:45:56,560 --> 00:45:59,759
Speaker 1: twenty million to sixty plus million, because he's not good

865
00:45:59,800 --> 00:46:02,719
Speaker 1: enough to be that high the version of Josh Allen, Like,

866
00:46:02,719 --> 00:46:05,359
Speaker 1: if he's a forty seven million dollar capit, I would

867
00:46:05,440 --> 00:46:08,839
Speaker 1: just restructure. I would guarantee some money and move it back.

868
00:46:09,400 --> 00:46:11,880
Speaker 1: I think that's what they end up doing. So my

869
00:46:12,000 --> 00:46:15,759
Speaker 1: first reaction and I wouldn't even need to sleep on

870
00:46:15,840 --> 00:46:18,440
Speaker 1: it that there is no offer you could give me

871
00:46:19,320 --> 00:46:24,239
Speaker 1: that I would trade Josh Allen zero. You could be

872
00:46:24,280 --> 00:46:26,640
Speaker 1: the Bears and be like, listen, we will trade you

873
00:46:26,680 --> 00:46:29,799
Speaker 1: the first pick, the seventh pick, and next year's one

874
00:46:29,880 --> 00:46:33,919
Speaker 1: for Josh Allen. I'd say, kick Rocks. I would rather

875
00:46:34,000 --> 00:46:38,600
Speaker 1: have Josh Allen than all those picks because the likelihood

876
00:46:38,600 --> 00:46:43,080
Speaker 1: that won Caleb or whoever turns into Josh Allen is slim.

877
00:46:43,080 --> 00:46:47,400
Speaker 1: The nun history would show us that are the Carolina Panthers,

878
00:46:47,719 --> 00:46:53,200
Speaker 1: the new Cleveland Browns. I think there is an element

879
00:46:53,480 --> 00:47:00,600
Speaker 1: of impatience, hiring the wrong guys, not knowing what to

880
00:47:00,680 --> 00:47:03,400
Speaker 1: look for. I think it's a combination of everything, and

881
00:47:03,440 --> 00:47:05,839
Speaker 1: then your team not being good enough. Cause it's like,

882
00:47:05,920 --> 00:47:09,480
Speaker 1: well it is Frank, Should you keep him? That's my thing?

883
00:47:09,640 --> 00:47:13,879
Speaker 1: Like what should Hugh Jackson? What Mike Petton? You hire

884
00:47:13,880 --> 00:47:16,040
Speaker 1: a bad coaches, what are you supposed to do? You

885
00:47:16,080 --> 00:47:18,799
Speaker 1: gotta fire him. But then once you fire him, once

886
00:47:18,840 --> 00:47:22,840
Speaker 1: you're in a position, I would say the Frank decision

887
00:47:23,040 --> 00:47:26,200
Speaker 1: is dramatically worse than anything he's ever done because he

888
00:47:26,280 --> 00:47:29,600
Speaker 1: was in position, he had just seen it and he overcorrected,

889
00:47:29,920 --> 00:47:33,040
Speaker 1: which is the nature of the world, right you date

890
00:47:33,120 --> 00:47:36,759
Speaker 1: someone who has a lot of good things going for

891
00:47:36,960 --> 00:47:39,800
Speaker 1: and is missing one quality that you like. The next

892
00:47:39,840 --> 00:47:42,600
Speaker 1: girl could have that one quality, but then missing all

893
00:47:42,600 --> 00:47:44,279
Speaker 1: the things that you liked about the other girl. So

894
00:47:45,000 --> 00:47:47,200
Speaker 1: I think that's exactly what he did with Frank. To

895
00:47:47,200 --> 00:47:50,759
Speaker 1: Matt Ruhle, what did Matt rule act NFL experience was

896
00:47:50,800 --> 00:47:53,800
Speaker 1: over at college coach right, and that was a major

897
00:47:53,880 --> 00:47:58,680
Speaker 1: mistake for Dave Tepper, and also, you know, not viewed

898
00:47:58,719 --> 00:48:01,759
Speaker 1: as a very dynamic offensive guy. So what does he do.

899
00:48:02,360 --> 00:48:06,080
Speaker 1: He hires a guy who's just the NFL Frank player

900
00:48:06,360 --> 00:48:12,280
Speaker 1: coach who can coach the quarterback, and in his mind

901
00:48:12,360 --> 00:48:14,160
Speaker 1: he over corrected. But it turns out Frank's not that

902
00:48:14,200 --> 00:48:16,479
Speaker 1: good of a coach. Frank's not that good of a coach.

903
00:48:17,400 --> 00:48:20,160
Speaker 1: Whether you believe Michael Lombardi that the Wentz thing helped

904
00:48:20,200 --> 00:48:22,799
Speaker 1: him lose his fastball, I'd argue, I just don't think

905
00:48:22,800 --> 00:48:25,319
Speaker 1: he was ever that good. He was not getting job

906
00:48:25,400 --> 00:48:29,040
Speaker 1: interviews seven years ago before Josh McDaniels turned down the Colts.

907
00:48:29,440 --> 00:48:31,840
Speaker 1: He was not a candidate. When you can't hire the

908
00:48:31,920 --> 00:48:35,279
Speaker 1: right coach, your organization's gonna look like shit. I saw

909
00:48:35,360 --> 00:48:38,160
Speaker 1: with the Sacramento Kings forever. They's kept hiring bad coaches.

910
00:48:38,680 --> 00:48:41,719
Speaker 1: I don't care what franchise you're in, what industry, you

911
00:48:41,800 --> 00:48:44,920
Speaker 1: hire the wrong people, it's gonna look bad, even if

912
00:48:44,960 --> 00:48:46,640
Speaker 1: you got a good product, even if you got some

913
00:48:46,680 --> 00:48:50,200
Speaker 1: good players. Okay, it doesn't matter. I'm one hundred percent

914
00:48:50,280 --> 00:48:54,880
Speaker 1: convinced that McDermott has to go. There is no leadership

915
00:48:54,960 --> 00:48:58,680
Speaker 1: right now in close games. I don't trust anything we're doing.

916
00:49:00,000 --> 00:49:02,040
Speaker 1: This game hurt me as a fan more than I

917
00:49:02,080 --> 00:49:06,200
Speaker 1: can even explain. Can you convince me I'm wrong? Can

918
00:49:06,239 --> 00:49:10,040
Speaker 1: you shed any hope on Bill Bill's Nation, aren't you? Guys?

919
00:49:10,040 --> 00:49:13,400
Speaker 1: Bill's Mafia need some positivity right now. Kevin, here's what

920
00:49:13,440 --> 00:49:16,600
Speaker 1: I would say. I think Sean's good, and he's proven

921
00:49:16,600 --> 00:49:18,240
Speaker 1: to be. You guys have won a lot of games together,

922
00:49:18,360 --> 00:49:22,799
Speaker 1: right He helped resurrect your franchise with Josh. But those

923
00:49:22,880 --> 00:49:26,719
Speaker 1: last couple drives, obviously, the game drive in the overtime,

924
00:49:26,760 --> 00:49:30,880
Speaker 1: that when Jalen scored debacle right down the field to me,

925
00:49:31,239 --> 00:49:35,200
Speaker 1: the game, the ending drive in regulation when he just

926
00:49:35,239 --> 00:49:38,799
Speaker 1: goes he's the defensive coordinator, starts going prevent defense and

927
00:49:38,920 --> 00:49:41,719
Speaker 1: just giving up easy plays. It's like, what are you

928
00:49:41,800 --> 00:49:44,120
Speaker 1: doing just play normal. If you beat, you get beat,

929
00:49:44,120 --> 00:49:46,680
Speaker 1: you tip your fucking hat, but do not go to

930
00:49:46,760 --> 00:49:50,080
Speaker 1: prevent defense and just give them the right to eight

931
00:49:50,120 --> 00:49:53,520
Speaker 1: to ten yards of play. There's not twenty seconds left

932
00:49:53,880 --> 00:49:55,399
Speaker 1: right there. They got the ball back with a lot

933
00:49:55,440 --> 00:49:58,439
Speaker 1: of time, So I thought that was pretty piss poor.

934
00:49:58,520 --> 00:50:00,600
Speaker 1: And let's face it, the field goal would have been

935
00:50:00,600 --> 00:50:02,960
Speaker 1: a lot closer if one of the best players in

936
00:50:03,000 --> 00:50:08,840
Speaker 1: egal history didn't essentially jump off sides twice. So it

937
00:50:08,880 --> 00:50:12,680
Speaker 1: ain't pretty. It's not. But back to you know what

938
00:50:12,719 --> 00:50:15,840
Speaker 1: we've been talking about, who are the candidates? To me,

939
00:50:17,200 --> 00:50:20,719
Speaker 1: Craft would not let Belichick go to the Bills. I

940
00:50:20,760 --> 00:50:22,560
Speaker 1: couldn't let him go to the Bills with Josh Allen.

941
00:50:22,800 --> 00:50:24,080
Speaker 1: But if I was the Bills, I'd be all over

942
00:50:24,120 --> 00:50:26,759
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick. I'll promise you that. I just wanted to

943
00:50:26,760 --> 00:50:30,279
Speaker 1: hear your thoughts on the Colts and Shane Sichin and

944
00:50:30,320 --> 00:50:32,759
Speaker 1: the job he's done so far. Currently they're six and

945
00:50:32,800 --> 00:50:34,319
Speaker 1: five and at the season end of the day, they'd

946
00:50:34,320 --> 00:50:37,200
Speaker 1: be in the playoffs. He's out winning games with minschew

947
00:50:37,239 --> 00:50:40,400
Speaker 1: Mania at quarterback. If Demko's name is going to be

948
00:50:40,440 --> 00:50:43,239
Speaker 1: thrown around for coach of the Year, then we need

949
00:50:43,280 --> 00:50:46,120
Speaker 1: to throw Shane in there as well. Totally agree. They

950
00:50:46,160 --> 00:50:49,160
Speaker 1: win this weekend at Denver. They're seven and five with

951
00:50:49,280 --> 00:50:53,400
Speaker 1: their top draft pick basically missing the entire season and

952
00:50:53,440 --> 00:50:56,280
Speaker 1: playing with the backup. It's an incredible accomplishment. I'm betting

953
00:50:56,280 --> 00:50:59,279
Speaker 1: against it. I don't think it's sustainable, not because I

954
00:50:59,280 --> 00:51:01,800
Speaker 1: don't believe in their coordinator or you know, their head coaches.

955
00:51:01,800 --> 00:51:06,760
Speaker 1: The coordinator who's awesome, he's really good, but Jonathan Taylor's

956
00:51:06,800 --> 00:51:10,320
Speaker 1: now banged up. It just feels a little smoke and mirrors.

957
00:51:10,640 --> 00:51:12,880
Speaker 1: But sometimes you just keep writing off these teams like

958
00:51:12,880 --> 00:51:16,560
Speaker 1: this and you eventually get bit. No question for me here, John,

959
00:51:16,719 --> 00:51:19,239
Speaker 1: but have to be honest already. Can't wait for your

960
00:51:19,320 --> 00:51:22,160
Speaker 1: rant about NBC giving us the middle finger with subbing

961
00:51:22,200 --> 00:51:26,879
Speaker 1: in Jason Garrett in the shotgun seat next to Tariko Well.

962
00:51:27,160 --> 00:51:29,120
Speaker 1: I talked about it the other night. You can find it.

963
00:51:29,120 --> 00:51:32,520
Speaker 1: It's only YouTube only on the YouTube page I talked

964
00:51:32,880 --> 00:51:36,680
Speaker 1: reacted to the Sunday Night Football and Jason Garrett. Here's

965
00:51:36,680 --> 00:51:39,839
Speaker 1: what I don't quite understand. I'm all for, we all

966
00:51:39,840 --> 00:51:44,080
Speaker 1: need time. When you're an NFL broadcaster, right like Collinsworth

967
00:51:44,160 --> 00:51:47,399
Speaker 1: as an analyst, it's not a seven day a week,

968
00:51:47,440 --> 00:51:51,160
Speaker 1: three sixty five job. Right. It's like a teacher divided

969
00:51:51,160 --> 00:51:55,239
Speaker 1: by four. You work sixteen seventeen games a year and

970
00:51:55,320 --> 00:51:57,240
Speaker 1: you get the rest of the year to fucking dig around.

971
00:51:57,840 --> 00:52:01,719
Speaker 1: So he's making millions and listen, I totally understand being

972
00:52:01,719 --> 00:52:04,480
Speaker 1: with your family and stuff, but Chris, we need you, man.

973
00:52:05,120 --> 00:52:08,920
Speaker 1: You cannot having to have Jason Garrett as your backup.

974
00:52:09,480 --> 00:52:14,960
Speaker 1: That's pretty crazy to me. That's a crazy reflection on

975
00:52:15,080 --> 00:52:18,280
Speaker 1: NBC that he is the backup announcer for Chris Collinsworth.

976
00:52:19,080 --> 00:52:21,360
Speaker 1: This is the number one television show in America and

977
00:52:21,400 --> 00:52:24,360
Speaker 1: that's who They rolled out there. Very disappointed with their decision,

978
00:52:24,440 --> 00:52:29,520
Speaker 1: but that ain't changed anytime soon. Longtime fan, an aspiring podcaster,

979
00:52:30,880 --> 00:52:33,239
Speaker 1: My day job is super demanding. I want to pose

980
00:52:33,280 --> 00:52:36,759
Speaker 1: a line of thinking. I hear you and Colin talk

981
00:52:36,760 --> 00:52:41,200
Speaker 1: about Fields often, and I regrettably think it's time to

982
00:52:41,239 --> 00:52:43,959
Speaker 1: move on from him, mainly to restart the rookie clock.

983
00:52:44,320 --> 00:52:46,000
Speaker 1: I know it's hard for people like you and Colin

984
00:52:46,040 --> 00:52:49,040
Speaker 1: to consume Bears football at a high level, but I

985
00:52:49,040 --> 00:52:51,080
Speaker 1: think you should watch the last five starts by Field

986
00:52:51,080 --> 00:52:54,040
Speaker 1: a bit closely. I think he's a product of another

987
00:52:54,400 --> 00:52:58,280
Speaker 1: failed Green Bay assistant. Last night's game plan and calls

988
00:52:58,400 --> 00:53:00,520
Speaker 1: ask him to throw behind. I'm in the line of

989
00:53:00,520 --> 00:53:05,920
Speaker 1: scrimmage roughly forty six percent of the time, which most

990
00:53:05,920 --> 00:53:08,680
Speaker 1: of which the defense and the audience knew were coming.

991
00:53:09,440 --> 00:53:11,880
Speaker 1: I think Chicago will trade him in the off season

992
00:53:12,080 --> 00:53:15,640
Speaker 1: and start over. But I hear everyone in wanting Caleb,

993
00:53:16,000 --> 00:53:18,880
Speaker 1: and I have big concerns and red flags for him. Maturity,

994
00:53:19,160 --> 00:53:22,239
Speaker 1: plays way too much hero ball, which you get away

995
00:53:22,239 --> 00:53:25,560
Speaker 1: with in college, holds the ball along like fields, and

996
00:53:25,640 --> 00:53:30,000
Speaker 1: has ball security issues. Despite all of this, everyone seems

997
00:53:30,040 --> 00:53:32,520
Speaker 1: to be ready to annoy him. I am not sold,

998
00:53:33,040 --> 00:53:35,040
Speaker 1: but I don't do this for a living. In your opinion,

999
00:53:35,040 --> 00:53:37,879
Speaker 1: means a lot. Well, here's my thing. Let's go back,

1000
00:53:38,040 --> 00:53:41,080
Speaker 1: and I'm with you. Caleb is no sure thing. None

1001
00:53:41,120 --> 00:53:42,839
Speaker 1: of these quarterbacks in this draft are a sure thing.

1002
00:53:43,320 --> 00:53:46,040
Speaker 1: So just because you get rid of fields doesn't mean

1003
00:53:46,080 --> 00:53:49,960
Speaker 1: you're getting Peyton Manning or Andrew Luck. I'm in agreement there. Honestly,

1004
00:53:50,040 --> 00:53:52,959
Speaker 1: Caleb makes me nervous, just like any college quarterback does,

1005
00:53:53,640 --> 00:53:58,080
Speaker 1: beside like Andrew Luck. So yeah, I mean it's it's risky.

1006
00:53:59,600 --> 00:54:01,640
Speaker 1: I do think when you look at justin fields, the

1007
00:54:01,760 --> 00:54:05,000
Speaker 1: reason they call a lot of screens. Is he can

1008
00:54:05,000 --> 00:54:07,880
Speaker 1: function at them? When they ask him to go backwards

1009
00:54:08,120 --> 00:54:10,520
Speaker 1: five steps seven step drops? What did you just say?

1010
00:54:10,560 --> 00:54:12,799
Speaker 1: Holds the ball too long? So when I asked him

1011
00:54:12,840 --> 00:54:16,279
Speaker 1: to make decisions, clearly it's a struggle for him and

1012
00:54:16,320 --> 00:54:18,840
Speaker 1: it does not go well. What were his best plays

1013
00:54:18,920 --> 00:54:20,839
Speaker 1: last night? I can't believe we're talking about this money

1014
00:54:20,840 --> 00:54:24,120
Speaker 1: in a football game. But you're a Bears fan, I

1015
00:54:24,160 --> 00:54:29,200
Speaker 1: hear you. Was when he was scrambling around right, He

1016
00:54:29,280 --> 00:54:34,040
Speaker 1: made countless plays scrambling to his left, throwing across his body,

1017
00:54:34,080 --> 00:54:36,640
Speaker 1: and I was like, damn, that's not a coat. That's

1018
00:54:36,680 --> 00:54:38,680
Speaker 1: just pulling a play out of his ass. He's a

1019
00:54:38,719 --> 00:54:42,520
Speaker 1: great freelancer. Football is not a freelance game in the pros.

1020
00:54:43,120 --> 00:54:46,880
Speaker 1: Football is you got to play within the confines of

1021
00:54:46,920 --> 00:54:49,560
Speaker 1: the offense, and the offense can't ask him early in

1022
00:54:49,600 --> 00:54:51,400
Speaker 1: the season, what do they do? They asked him to

1023
00:54:51,440 --> 00:54:54,400
Speaker 1: run a normal offense how to go? It was ugly.

1024
00:54:54,840 --> 00:54:58,279
Speaker 1: Everyone's shitting on gets see which he might suck. I

1025
00:54:58,280 --> 00:55:00,560
Speaker 1: think he's asking him to run plays that he knows

1026
00:55:00,600 --> 00:55:02,960
Speaker 1: that he can pull off. Right, of course, he can

1027
00:55:03,000 --> 00:55:05,400
Speaker 1: pull off like when nothing's there, scramble throw it across

1028
00:55:05,440 --> 00:55:08,040
Speaker 1: his body, make a sweet play to DJ Moore. But

1029
00:55:08,040 --> 00:55:09,959
Speaker 1: if I just ask you to run a normal five

1030
00:55:09,960 --> 00:55:14,960
Speaker 1: step drop with you know, longer developing routes where you

1031
00:55:15,040 --> 00:55:17,160
Speaker 1: have to maybe look off your first option go to

1032
00:55:17,200 --> 00:55:19,360
Speaker 1: your second option, it's gonna take a little bit of time.

1033
00:55:20,120 --> 00:55:22,680
Speaker 1: He has proven that he can't really do that, and

1034
00:55:22,719 --> 00:55:24,640
Speaker 1: you're talking to a guy. I loved him coming out

1035
00:55:24,640 --> 00:55:28,279
Speaker 1: of college because I loved the size, the strength, the arm.

1036
00:55:28,400 --> 00:55:33,120
Speaker 1: But part of playing quarterback there is there's an unquantifiable

1037
00:55:33,200 --> 00:55:36,000
Speaker 1: feel to the position, instincts to the position. And when

1038
00:55:36,040 --> 00:55:38,400
Speaker 1: you watch him play, like I listen the fumbles as

1039
00:55:38,400 --> 00:55:40,520
Speaker 1: a runner, like if you're gonna run the ball like

1040
00:55:40,560 --> 00:55:43,160
Speaker 1: you might fumble like Lamar Jackson might fumble. I mean

1041
00:55:44,280 --> 00:55:47,040
Speaker 1: that's a little freakish to me because I actually like

1042
00:55:47,120 --> 00:55:48,799
Speaker 1: when he's running the ball because it's one of his

1043
00:55:48,880 --> 00:55:52,040
Speaker 1: better obviously his best attribute. But I think you guys

1044
00:55:52,040 --> 00:55:54,440
Speaker 1: get mad that he did. Their offense doesn't look like,

1045
00:55:55,320 --> 00:55:58,400
Speaker 1: you know, I don't even know the rams are the forty.

1046
00:55:58,239 --> 00:55:59,719
Speaker 2: Nine ers, Like, I don't think they think they can

1047
00:55:59,760 --> 00:56:02,920
Speaker 2: run the offense, right, I mean, they don't think he

1048
00:56:02,960 --> 00:56:05,799
Speaker 2: could run the Aaron Rodgers offense when he was in

1049
00:56:05,840 --> 00:56:08,840
Speaker 2: Green Bay, even as they meshed it with Lafleur in

1050
00:56:08,960 --> 00:56:09,760
Speaker 2: Rogers concept.

1051
00:56:10,120 --> 00:56:12,120
Speaker 1: They don't think he can do it now. Listen, doesn't

1052
00:56:12,160 --> 00:56:14,920
Speaker 1: mean coaches are always right. They could be wrong. They

1053
00:56:15,000 --> 00:56:19,080
Speaker 1: might just be wrong, and he has untapped potential. I've

1054
00:56:19,120 --> 00:56:21,600
Speaker 1: seen enough go. I don't know. I don't really see it.

1055
00:56:21,719 --> 00:56:24,759
Speaker 1: I see a guy who's just at this level. It

1056
00:56:25,160 --> 00:56:27,799
Speaker 1: doesn't feel like it's coming naturally too. And it's hard

1057
00:56:27,840 --> 00:56:32,319
Speaker 1: to play quarterback when you can't just drop back and throw,

1058
00:56:33,000 --> 00:56:35,440
Speaker 1: and that doesn't feel like he can. You have truly

1059
00:56:35,480 --> 00:56:38,120
Speaker 1: made it, my man. While it's ultimately a courtesy of

1060
00:56:38,120 --> 00:56:40,960
Speaker 1: the Taylor Swift effect to see your take not just

1061
00:56:41,280 --> 00:56:44,080
Speaker 1: on the pages of the Daily Mail Online but in

1062
00:56:44,120 --> 00:56:48,680
Speaker 1: the Showbiz section of The Mail Online, easily the UK's

1063
00:56:48,680 --> 00:56:52,360
Speaker 1: most visited news outlet, I'd imagine one of the most

1064
00:56:52,640 --> 00:56:58,480
Speaker 1: popular in the world. Is something let's ethn go and

1065
00:56:58,520 --> 00:57:01,960
Speaker 1: he sent me a link. Travis Kelcey looks old and

1066
00:57:02,080 --> 00:57:05,640
Speaker 1: is wobbling for the Chiefs, but it has nothing to

1067
00:57:05,680 --> 00:57:09,200
Speaker 1: do with Taylor Swift, says x NFL scout John Middlecoff.

1068
00:57:09,640 --> 00:57:11,799
Speaker 1: He's thirty four and has a lot of miles on

1069
00:57:11,800 --> 00:57:14,920
Speaker 1: his body. Yes, I was quoted in talking to Colin

1070
00:57:15,080 --> 00:57:19,120
Speaker 1: in the Daily Mail. So first got Travis Kelsey, big

1071
00:57:19,120 --> 00:57:23,800
Speaker 1: deal man, Holy moly. Okay, last question. I was listening

1072
00:57:23,800 --> 00:57:25,960
Speaker 1: to Andrew Brant's podcast the other day and he was

1073
00:57:26,000 --> 00:57:28,960
Speaker 1: talking about the cost of running NFL Europe when it folded.

1074
00:57:29,320 --> 00:57:31,360
Speaker 1: They were losing thirty two million dollars a year. They

1075
00:57:31,400 --> 00:57:35,200
Speaker 1: got me thinking, wouldn't the NFL and the NFL ownership

1076
00:57:35,560 --> 00:57:38,480
Speaker 1: be so much better off if NFL Europe still existed

1077
00:57:38,480 --> 00:57:42,360
Speaker 1: to help develop pro ready backup quarterbacks and better developed

1078
00:57:42,360 --> 00:57:46,320
Speaker 1: offensive linemen to protect these quarterbacks. Wouldn't the NFL owners

1079
00:57:46,360 --> 00:57:48,919
Speaker 1: lose less money if their coaches were better trained through

1080
00:57:48,920 --> 00:57:51,880
Speaker 1: practice coaching and development leagues so they didn't have to

1081
00:57:52,560 --> 00:57:55,440
Speaker 1: light guarantee contracts and fire guys on a yearly basis.

1082
00:57:56,600 --> 00:57:59,320
Speaker 1: I get the XFL in USFL exist, But to me,

1083
00:57:59,400 --> 00:58:02,280
Speaker 1: since the league is so interested in European markets and

1084
00:58:02,360 --> 00:58:04,680
Speaker 1: the league would do better with the presence of the

1085
00:58:04,680 --> 00:58:07,200
Speaker 1: Internet as a marketing tool, it seems like a no

1086
00:58:07,280 --> 00:58:10,120
Speaker 1: brainer to revive the project. These guys are not gonna

1087
00:58:10,120 --> 00:58:12,800
Speaker 1: lose of money, man, They're really not. And I hear

1088
00:58:12,880 --> 00:58:16,520
Speaker 1: you it's like it might benefit them big picture. But

1089
00:58:18,000 --> 00:58:20,080
Speaker 1: if I say, hey, first couple of years, you're gonna

1090
00:58:20,120 --> 00:58:22,200
Speaker 1: lose thirty forty to fifty million dollars, it's gonna be

1091
00:58:22,240 --> 00:58:25,320
Speaker 1: a no. It's just gonna be a no. And sometimes

1092
00:58:25,320 --> 00:58:27,840
Speaker 1: you got to see the forest before the trees. But

1093
00:58:30,120 --> 00:58:34,120
Speaker 1: I don't see them doing it. I think in thirty

1094
00:58:34,120 --> 00:58:38,640
Speaker 1: two million dollars, what year was NFL Europa fifteen years ago?

1095
00:58:39,360 --> 00:58:43,120
Speaker 1: So what inflation costs? What are we talking now? I'm

1096
00:58:43,160 --> 00:58:46,840
Speaker 1: talking seventy five million dollars a year. I just I

1097
00:58:46,880 --> 00:58:50,160
Speaker 1: don't think they would do it. We will end on that.

1098
00:58:50,360 --> 00:58:56,560
Speaker 1: Audios the volume
