1
00:00:09,480 --> 00:00:15,280
Speaker 1: What is going on? Everybody? Three and out podcast just

2
00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:19,040
Speaker 1: I feel like deflated, you know, my energy. I I

3
00:00:19,040 --> 00:00:22,640
Speaker 1: gave everything I had to the Eagles, Eagles Packers. You know,

4
00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:25,560
Speaker 1: we've we've come on early on Monday night games and

5
00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:28,400
Speaker 1: Thursday night games. I just started doing this podcast at

6
00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:34,160
Speaker 1: halftime some sometimes, but man, that was that was incredible TV.

7
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:36,800
Speaker 1: So we're gonna dive into multiple angles from that game.

8
00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:39,360
Speaker 1: Then basically what I did is I went through every

9
00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:42,879
Speaker 1: game coming up this Sunday. And then, as always, we

10
00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:45,800
Speaker 1: do the Middlecoff mail Bag at John Middlecoff is my

Speaker 1: d m s are open. I answer your questions here

15
00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:01,640
Speaker 1: on the show. And uh and yeah, I mean that's

16
00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:04,240
Speaker 1: just there. There are a couple of things left in

17
00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:07,760
Speaker 1: this country that we watch live. And really there are

18
00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:10,360
Speaker 1: two things that we watch live, like Netflix. You don't

19
00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:13,160
Speaker 1: we don't consume that live. You know, even the big

20
00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:16,880
Speaker 1: shows on HBO and Showtime Now like Succession or Game

21
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:19,319
Speaker 1: of Thrones, we don't all watch that at the same time.

22
00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:24,000
Speaker 1: There's reasons the power of pro sports and right there

23
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:27,560
Speaker 1: with news news, news is still a big deal. It's

24
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:30,480
Speaker 1: the only thing that as a country together that we

25
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:32,559
Speaker 1: all agree we watched that live. I mean they're gonna

26
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:36,120
Speaker 1: be My guess is twenty million plus people watch that game.

27
00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:39,800
Speaker 1: And there's a reason the NFL is king because you

28
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:43,280
Speaker 1: can't one. I mean it was Eagles Packers. It was

29
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:46,480
Speaker 1: ever since Fox has taken over this game. I guess

30
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:50,240
Speaker 1: was last year their first year. It's elevated the broadcast

31
00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:52,880
Speaker 1: because I'm watching that tonight on my couch and just

32
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:55,120
Speaker 1: if you close your eyes and you just said open

33
00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:58,680
Speaker 1: and you said, this is you know, the this is

34
00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:03,600
Speaker 1: the second round of of the playoffs, you'd believe it.

35
00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:10,280
Speaker 1: That's what it felt like, Buck Aikman. The lights wentz Rogers.

36
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:12,960
Speaker 1: It doesn't get any better than that. And you know

37
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:16,000
Speaker 1: that's why the NFL prince cash because the amount of

38
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:20,680
Speaker 1: eyeballs they're getting on these type games is absolutely incredible.

39
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:22,600
Speaker 1: I saw someone on Twitter and I was like, you

40
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:25,240
Speaker 1: know that conspiracy theory guy, But that makes some sense.

41
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:29,200
Speaker 1: The reason they've added the reviewable p I because they know,

42
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:31,560
Speaker 1: at minimum they're gonna get an extra review a game,

43
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:34,240
Speaker 1: and that means more commercials. And I started thinking to myself, well,

44
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:37,520
Speaker 1: someone's gotta pay Carson Wentz's and Aaron Rodgers a hundred

45
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:40,840
Speaker 1: fifty billion dollar salaries. Money doesn't just fall from the sky.

46
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:44,040
Speaker 1: It really was remarkable. I don't even know where to start.

47
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:47,360
Speaker 1: I guess let's start with Rogers. It's kind of a

48
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:52,359
Speaker 1: vintage throwback performance. Uh. He was brilliant. He he was elite.

49
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:55,000
Speaker 1: I say it all the time. I watched Pro sports

50
00:02:55,520 --> 00:03:00,240
Speaker 1: for Aaron Rodgers, Lebron James, Tiger Woods. I don't watch

51
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:03,600
Speaker 1: for overachievers. I don't watch for even your backup players

52
00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:06,120
Speaker 1: that are getting smoked all game long. That bothers me.

53
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:08,200
Speaker 1: You know, it doesn't bother me if I'm betting on

54
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:11,360
Speaker 1: the team like I did the Eagles tonight. But you know,

55
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:13,920
Speaker 1: I want to watch Davante Adams and Carson Wentz. This

56
00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 1: is this is the big leagues. This is where we

57
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:19,920
Speaker 1: pay these guys million dollars. That's what we want right there.

58
00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:23,200
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers, you know what he ain't done yet. And

59
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:25,080
Speaker 1: I've been saying, you know, is Aaron is still the

60
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 1: same guy. Yeah, he's still pretty damn good. You know,

61
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:31,480
Speaker 1: if you're if you're into baseball, Justin Verlander is getting

62
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:34,359
Speaker 1: up there in age. He still throws. You know, Rogers

63
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:36,720
Speaker 1: might not be quite as quick as he once was,

64
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:39,520
Speaker 1: but man, he's special. And at the end of the day,

65
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:42,040
Speaker 1: I know their defense kind of got taken advantage of today,

66
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:45,120
Speaker 1: but it was a short week. The Packers have played

67
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:47,280
Speaker 1: a couple of physical games in a row. I'm not

68
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:49,640
Speaker 1: worried about Mike Pennon, as I've been told by many

69
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:51,800
Speaker 1: people in the league. They think he's a high level guy.

70
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:55,839
Speaker 1: I think the Packers defense multiple dbs, their d line

71
00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:58,000
Speaker 1: will be fine. Blake Martinez is good. I have faith

72
00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:00,360
Speaker 1: in the defense. The guy that I don't have faith in,

73
00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:03,640
Speaker 1: and I don't think that this game changed much in

74
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:07,119
Speaker 1: my mind is the head coach. And and the thing

75
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:09,480
Speaker 1: is when you get to see two teams like we

76
00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:11,600
Speaker 1: got to see Wins and Rogers on the field at

77
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:13,720
Speaker 1: the same time. Wins didn't have a great game, but

78
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:16,839
Speaker 1: you can the physical talent jumps off the screen, but

79
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:20,040
Speaker 1: you go still Wentz isn't quite Rogers, right. But when

80
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:22,760
Speaker 1: you see two play callers back and forth, like two

81
00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:25,320
Speaker 1: offensive play callers go back and forth. The EBB and

82
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:28,119
Speaker 1: flow of the game. You watch Doug Peterson start getting

83
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:32,240
Speaker 1: into a rhythm. His feel for the game is you know,

84
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:34,479
Speaker 1: it's top notch. I mean, he's one of the top

85
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:38,560
Speaker 1: six seven offensive coordinators in this league. Andy Reid, Sean Payton,

86
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:43,040
Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan, Sean McVeigh, Dougie p Frank Reich. And then

87
00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:45,920
Speaker 1: you got Maddie Lafleur that was at the goal line

88
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:48,400
Speaker 1: multiple times, and it's like he has no clue what

89
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:52,719
Speaker 1: to do. And there are times on certain drives and listen,

90
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:55,920
Speaker 1: maybe I'm wrong on this, but I'm pretty confident I'm

91
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:58,440
Speaker 1: right on this. Is it feels like Rogers is kind

92
00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:01,360
Speaker 1: of bailing him out. I don't feel that this offense

93
00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:04,919
Speaker 1: works when you're in a rhythm. When it's not in rhythm,

94
00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:07,760
Speaker 1: it can look it can look really off. And that's

95
00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:10,200
Speaker 1: why the Packers have moments like what is going on?

96
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:13,960
Speaker 1: Because and I think this is for any play caller,

97
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:16,680
Speaker 1: it's kind of like a boxer. You hit him with

98
00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:18,200
Speaker 1: a jab, you hit him with the left, you hit

99
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:20,600
Speaker 1: him with an uppercut, you bob, you weave, you hit

100
00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:22,440
Speaker 1: him with another body blow, and then if he and

101
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:24,080
Speaker 1: then if he bangs, was right you hit him with

102
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:26,240
Speaker 1: the left and you just kind of keep hitting. That's

103
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:28,640
Speaker 1: what the best play callers do. They're coming at you all.

104
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:31,360
Speaker 1: I mean, think about Bill Walsh. He loved boxing. I

105
00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:34,240
Speaker 1: would imagine if you ever. I mean he's long gone now,

106
00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:37,919
Speaker 1: but there are elements to boxing and calling plays. And

107
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:40,000
Speaker 1: I'm watching Maddie the floor that's standing there at the

108
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:41,800
Speaker 1: one yard line thinking on what to call. It has

109
00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:44,320
Speaker 1: no clue twice when they're at the goal line, and

110
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:46,440
Speaker 1: he's not a very good red zone play caller. To me,

111
00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:49,840
Speaker 1: that is very indicative of not having a great feel

112
00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:53,799
Speaker 1: in big spots. And you know, in defense of the second,

113
00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:57,400
Speaker 1: I guess it was not the last drive, or wasn't

114
00:05:57,400 --> 00:05:59,279
Speaker 1: the last drive. I guess he was missing Davante on

115
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:02,919
Speaker 1: multiple drive lives down the stretch, So yeah, it was.

116
00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:05,000
Speaker 1: It was multiple goal line drives because it was the

117
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:07,800
Speaker 1: first one where they went, uh, they got to the

118
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:09,760
Speaker 1: goal line and they went for it on fourth down.

119
00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:13,000
Speaker 1: They didn't get it. Davante was hurt. So if you

120
00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:15,839
Speaker 1: wanted to counter me that that's a big blow for them.

121
00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:18,760
Speaker 1: But it's like, hey man, just run the freaking ball.

122
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:21,960
Speaker 1: How about a quarterback sneak? How about something. I mean,

123
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:24,240
Speaker 1: what are we doing here at the at the one

124
00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:26,440
Speaker 1: yard line and not being able to punch it in

125
00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:30,040
Speaker 1: with four tries? When you have a hundred million dollar quarterback,

126
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:33,240
Speaker 1: You still got Jimmy Graham, you got a good offensive line,

127
00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:37,200
Speaker 1: You're you're supposed to be some highly thought of play collar.

128
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:40,359
Speaker 1: Why just because you know Kyle Shanahan and Sean McVeigh.

129
00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:44,159
Speaker 1: You notice how no one just goes Doug Peterson knows

130
00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:47,280
Speaker 1: Andy Reid. Yeah, they're close, they worked together, But Doug's

131
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:50,080
Speaker 1: proved now by himself like he could handle it. He's

132
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:52,480
Speaker 1: a good play caller. He's just one of Andy's guys

133
00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:54,719
Speaker 1: because he's good at it. And now Frank right, just

134
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:56,920
Speaker 1: one of Doug's guy. They're just all kind of independent

135
00:06:56,960 --> 00:06:59,640
Speaker 1: of themselves and they're good. Like the only thing Matt

136
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:02,440
Speaker 1: lafe Or has going for him right now is you're like, well,

137
00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:06,160
Speaker 1: he's a McVeigh Shanahan guy. Well, I watched Shanahan every week.

138
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:09,400
Speaker 1: He looks nothing like that. There's just no way he's

139
00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:12,240
Speaker 1: not scoring a touchdown right there. And the Packers are lucky.

140
00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:15,160
Speaker 1: Their defense is top notch. Keep my fingers crossed. Davante

141
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:17,280
Speaker 1: is one of my favorite players in the league, because

142
00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:19,280
Speaker 1: if he was out for a while for them, they

143
00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:22,560
Speaker 1: would be in some trouble. They need him. That would

144
00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:25,280
Speaker 1: be a a major body blow if he had a

145
00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:29,200
Speaker 1: major if he had a major injury. But I think

146
00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:31,240
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, Matt Lafleur, as you're

147
00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:34,960
Speaker 1: already kind of seeing, is somewhat of the Packers downfall.

148
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:37,440
Speaker 1: He's the guy holding him back because Roger still has it.

149
00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:40,480
Speaker 1: Their defense is really good, teams a lot better than

150
00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:42,200
Speaker 1: I thought they would be. And then if we go

151
00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:45,640
Speaker 1: across the field, I thought tonight was just another huge

152
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:48,840
Speaker 1: muscle flex for Doug Peterson. He is a He's a

153
00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:53,520
Speaker 1: special play caller. His fuel unlike Matt Lafleur, when he's

154
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:55,720
Speaker 1: in a certain situation, when to go left, when to

155
00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:58,400
Speaker 1: go right, when to stay with something. Because Twitter is

156
00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:00,320
Speaker 1: always like, don't run the ball on first on, Doug

157
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:02,880
Speaker 1: Peterson's like, yeah, shut up, I'm gonna run the ball

158
00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:06,720
Speaker 1: on first down. What does Colins say, manalytics? Yeah, take

159
00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:08,800
Speaker 1: your analytics and put them in your back pocket as

160
00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:11,240
Speaker 1: I run the ball down their throat. But then just

161
00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:13,920
Speaker 1: the place even the play that Carson Wentz missed that

162
00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:16,280
Speaker 1: ultimately gave the Packers the ball back and allowed them

163
00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:18,880
Speaker 1: to drive down the field Doug scheme downs when Jeffrey

164
00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:20,840
Speaker 1: wide open, Carson just missed him. I mean, that's a

165
00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:23,000
Speaker 1: throw Carson has to make. For being a thirty two

166
00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:25,600
Speaker 1: million dollar player like Carson, you gotta make that play

167
00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:28,680
Speaker 1: in your sleep. Now it's it's football. It's already missed

168
00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:31,800
Speaker 1: the throw, but you have to make that. And I

169
00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:35,160
Speaker 1: think at the end of the day, there has to

170
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:39,920
Speaker 1: be Howie Roseman sitting up in a suite all game

171
00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:43,440
Speaker 1: long thinking to himself, this team is not good enough

172
00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:47,200
Speaker 1: to win a Super Bowl, and we have one fatal

173
00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:51,000
Speaker 1: flaw right now, and it's a fatal flaw that will

174
00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:54,160
Speaker 1: kill us in two thousand nineteen. We can't cover anybody.

175
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:58,760
Speaker 1: Our corners have no chance. So I know Howie pretty well,

176
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:02,120
Speaker 1: and draft capital means a lot to him. He's made

177
00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:04,080
Speaker 1: one major trade in the draft and it was for

178
00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:07,320
Speaker 1: carsonal Wentz. It was for quarterback that any team worth

179
00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:10,000
Speaker 1: their salt will trade the farm to get a franchise quarterback.

180
00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:12,319
Speaker 1: It was well worth it. It's a little different in

181
00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:15,640
Speaker 1: other positions. We've seen the Bears do it with Khalil

182
00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:19,800
Speaker 1: Mack and you know the the in theory. The Eagles have,

183
00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:22,840
Speaker 1: you know, a talented defensive line. Now Fletcher's a little

184
00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:27,280
Speaker 1: banged up, Derek Barnett's coming along, Uh, Brandon Graham still

185
00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:30,880
Speaker 1: solid like that. Their units their unit, but their corners suck.

186
00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:35,440
Speaker 1: Their corners stink. I mean, they can't cover me or you.

187
00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:38,720
Speaker 1: And if you can't cover me or you, you you definitely

188
00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:41,080
Speaker 1: can't cover Davante Adams, who had like a hundred fifty

189
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:44,720
Speaker 1: yards fifteen minutes into the game. You need to figure

190
00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:48,280
Speaker 1: out a way to upgrade. And there's one big elephant

191
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:51,000
Speaker 1: in the room. And Jalen Ramsey went on record today

192
00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:54,600
Speaker 1: saying that he wants to be traded. The way you

193
00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:56,920
Speaker 1: get it done is you offer two first round picks. Now,

194
00:09:57,000 --> 00:09:59,960
Speaker 1: I think you'd kick yourself. You could not have done

195
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:01,960
Speaker 1: that if you lost this game. You you can't be

196
00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:05,280
Speaker 1: one in three in mortgaging the future like the Pittsburgh Steelers. Dude,

197
00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:07,719
Speaker 1: that's that's moronic. That is bad business. And how he

198
00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:09,760
Speaker 1: wouldn't have done that. But I do think it two

199
00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:12,719
Speaker 1: and two. You go, if we get Jalen Ramsey, can

200
00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:15,400
Speaker 1: we make the NFC Championship game? Because you go, we

201
00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:19,400
Speaker 1: haven't played Dallas, yet Amari Cooper is killing it right now,

202
00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:22,199
Speaker 1: Gallup is gonna come back. Their passing game looks to

203
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:25,240
Speaker 1: be at another level. How do we cover those guys

204
00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:28,720
Speaker 1: because we have no Maddox. Our backup corner just got

205
00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:32,439
Speaker 1: carded off the field. Sydney Jones gets hurt whenever he

206
00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:38,160
Speaker 1: John's twenty yards. Jalen Mills is on pop Leto Shepherd

207
00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:41,280
Speaker 1: is not walking through that door. So her men words

208
00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:45,360
Speaker 1: is coaching now. I think that's they're really their only option,

209
00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:49,280
Speaker 1: and I'd understand. I'd understand it, though I think it'd

210
00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:53,319
Speaker 1: be it would be bold, it would be sometimes you

211
00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:56,360
Speaker 1: gotta be bold, may've been bold before. I I think

212
00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:59,440
Speaker 1: you really think about offering two first round picks because

213
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:00,800
Speaker 1: if you're the as you go, we're gonna be in

214
00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:02,640
Speaker 1: the playoffs two years in a row. So worst case scenario,

215
00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:06,080
Speaker 1: let's pick twenty three, pick twenty six for Jalen freaking

216
00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:09,160
Speaker 1: Ramsey because right now we can look ourselves in the

217
00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:12,360
Speaker 1: mirror and no, we have no chance, and we have

218
00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:15,120
Speaker 1: a We have a star quarterback who's in the I

219
00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:17,120
Speaker 1: wouldn't say the peak of his powers, but is only

220
00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:19,839
Speaker 1: gonna get better. We were gonna get to Seawan back

221
00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:22,920
Speaker 1: Alshan now gets ten days to heal. But we're not

222
00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:25,320
Speaker 1: good enough at the secondary. We we just I mean,

223
00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:28,600
Speaker 1: DeVante is a really good player, but he's not Jerry Rice.

224
00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:32,160
Speaker 1: They had no chance of covering Now Rogers was on

225
00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:34,960
Speaker 1: it would be that would have been tough for you know,

226
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:38,080
Speaker 1: any good secondary with the level in which Rogers planned,

227
00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:40,960
Speaker 1: but he feasted on him. It's like a It's like

228
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:43,920
Speaker 1: when a lion walks on the serengetti. He doesn't run

229
00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:47,280
Speaker 1: after the fastest gazelle. He goes after the slowest one

230
00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:49,480
Speaker 1: or the one that's injured, or he goes after the

231
00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:53,440
Speaker 1: sick water buffalo. And that's what quarterbacks and offensive coordinators do.

232
00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:56,240
Speaker 1: They don't go after the quickest animal. They go after

233
00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:58,280
Speaker 1: the one that's limping. And when they find the one

234
00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:01,440
Speaker 1: that's limping, they corral it and they eat it. And

235
00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:05,320
Speaker 1: that every single time the night Rogers through. And that

236
00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:07,040
Speaker 1: that's where I go back to La Floor, like, is

237
00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:08,880
Speaker 1: La Floor tell him to do that? Or is Rogers

238
00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:10,800
Speaker 1: doing that in the huddle? Hell, by the time you

239
00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:12,280
Speaker 1: listen to this, Rodgers might have said something in the

240
00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:16,559
Speaker 1: postgame press conference, but it wasn't really, you know, it's

241
00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:19,040
Speaker 1: a it's a rough loss for the Packers because you

242
00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:20,680
Speaker 1: were in position to win it or at least have

243
00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:22,240
Speaker 1: a chance to tie it. At the end of the game,

244
00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:25,520
Speaker 1: you're still three and one. And I think the philosophy

245
00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:27,880
Speaker 1: of any NFL team is if you go three and

246
00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:30,760
Speaker 1: one every quarter, you're gonna end up twelve and four,

247
00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:33,160
Speaker 1: and that's you're in the playoffs. And if you go

248
00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:35,360
Speaker 1: twelve and four, you're gonna win your division the majority

249
00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:37,240
Speaker 1: of the years. And that's why I get back to

250
00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:39,199
Speaker 1: the Eagles. They had to win this thing. They had

251
00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:41,360
Speaker 1: no choice but to win this thing because you go

252
00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:44,720
Speaker 1: one in three, then you go three and one, three

253
00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:47,520
Speaker 1: and one, three and one, that's ten and six and

254
00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:49,480
Speaker 1: that's not even a lock to make the playoffs. We've

255
00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:52,160
Speaker 1: seen ten and six teams miss it before. But think

256
00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:54,680
Speaker 1: of the margin for air you've given yourself, which is

257
00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:57,680
Speaker 1: basically none. Because you've gotta win nine games the rest

258
00:12:57,679 --> 00:12:59,760
Speaker 1: of the season. You basically you have to go nine

259
00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:02,520
Speaker 1: in well or nine and three down down the stretch,

260
00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:05,280
Speaker 1: and that's really difficult to do. And with the secondary

261
00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:07,679
Speaker 1: of the Eagles, that'd probably be near impossible. That's why

262
00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:11,120
Speaker 1: the night was the Eagles had to win it, and

263
00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:13,760
Speaker 1: they just they found a will away and some what

264
00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:15,679
Speaker 1: do they say, Where there's a will, there's a way.

265
00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:17,640
Speaker 1: They did kind of will themselves to it because they

266
00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:19,400
Speaker 1: just ran the ball down their throat. Now I know

267
00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:22,840
Speaker 1: analytics they hate running on first down. Listen, I don't

268
00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:25,120
Speaker 1: like running on first down if you can't get yards.

269
00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:27,400
Speaker 1: But if you can get yards, then you do it.

270
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:29,920
Speaker 1: And if things are working, you stay with them. And

271
00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:33,160
Speaker 1: some of the best offensive coordinators don't overthink things. And

272
00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:35,160
Speaker 1: I thought Doug did an excellent job to night not

273
00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:39,480
Speaker 1: overthinking things, and and they found a way to win.

274
00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:42,000
Speaker 1: And you know, they made plays when they had to

275
00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:44,760
Speaker 1: in the red zone. I think Belichick has been saying

276
00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:48,760
Speaker 1: this for years. It's not a yards are kind of meaningless.

277
00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:51,120
Speaker 1: I mean, think how many hollow yards you see every

278
00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:54,080
Speaker 1: week all over the NFL and the fourth quarter teams

279
00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:57,320
Speaker 1: that they mean nothing to me. The game is determined

280
00:13:57,320 --> 00:13:59,800
Speaker 1: by who scores more points than the other team. And

281
00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:01,720
Speaker 1: the way that you score more points as you score

282
00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:04,040
Speaker 1: touchdowns and they don't score touchdowns, you hold them to

283
00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:07,320
Speaker 1: field goals. You play good red zone defense, I don't

284
00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:09,960
Speaker 1: care how shitty your defense is twenties and twenty. If

285
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:12,040
Speaker 1: you play good red zone defense and you have a

286
00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:14,360
Speaker 1: good offense, your team's gonna be good. Just that simple.

287
00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:17,840
Speaker 1: And the Eagles tonight played fantastic red zone defense. Now,

288
00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:20,720
Speaker 1: like I said with Devonte, they got a little lucky.

289
00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:23,760
Speaker 1: There were situations where Davanta would have been in but

290
00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:26,560
Speaker 1: when he was banged up basically on two goal line

291
00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:30,760
Speaker 1: in red zone situations. But god, I'm just I'm just

292
00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:33,800
Speaker 1: buzzing from that game. I mean, inject that game into

293
00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:37,120
Speaker 1: my veins. How good was that? How great is the

294
00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:42,880
Speaker 1: NFL Eagles Packers? Thursday? Remember when Thursday Night football? It's

295
00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:47,200
Speaker 1: so unfair to the players. It's so terrible. People on

296
00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:49,480
Speaker 1: their couch watching that bad boy tonight. How many of

297
00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:53,040
Speaker 1: those people are gambling like me and you playing fantasy football?

298
00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:57,480
Speaker 1: What else would you do on Thursday? Watch baseball? All

299
00:14:57,480 --> 00:15:00,320
Speaker 1: the races have been over for weeks. What what else

300
00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:02,320
Speaker 1: is there to do to try to try watching a

301
00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:04,800
Speaker 1: college football game. I got multiple TVs in my living

302
00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:07,680
Speaker 1: room and had Memphis Navy on the rest of the

303
00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:10,560
Speaker 1: NFL game. It felt like a peewee game, Like who

304
00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:12,760
Speaker 1: could watch this crap? And don't get me wrong, I

305
00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:15,440
Speaker 1: love college football, but when a high level NFL game on,

306
00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:18,360
Speaker 1: it is on. Man, it's just it's hard to beat

307
00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:23,320
Speaker 1: what we just witnessed. Okay, time to talk about, you know,

308
00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:25,600
Speaker 1: the games, because that's the whole point of this thing,

309
00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:28,680
Speaker 1: is Ray Lewis, I think once famously said you pay

310
00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:31,840
Speaker 1: me Monday through Saturday, Sunday's on me, or Sundays for

311
00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:35,520
Speaker 1: free or something like that. Um, I would agree you

312
00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:39,160
Speaker 1: pay me Monday through Saturday. Sunday is my day. It's

313
00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:41,320
Speaker 1: some people have Day of the Lord. The Day of

314
00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:43,560
Speaker 1: the Lord in the middlecof home is day on our

315
00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:46,400
Speaker 1: couch and we consume football from sun up till sundown.

316
00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:47,840
Speaker 1: That's what happens when you live in the West Coast.

317
00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:51,040
Speaker 1: Football starts pretty early. When I lived in Philly, Man,

318
00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:53,880
Speaker 1: you had to wait so long for games, especially the

319
00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:56,360
Speaker 1: night games. If you were playing at night, gosh, you

320
00:15:56,480 --> 00:15:59,800
Speaker 1: just wait around all day to play. But I'll basically

321
00:15:59,840 --> 00:16:01,320
Speaker 1: just are with the morning games and work through the

322
00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:06,560
Speaker 1: night game. Panthers at Texans Panthers plus four, Well, Kyle

323
00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:09,840
Speaker 1: Allen had a pretty incredible debut. Regardless of the opponent.

324
00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:13,600
Speaker 1: He threw four touchdowns. Anytime an undrafted free agent makes

325
00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:16,720
Speaker 1: his NFL debut and throws four touchdowns. You have to

326
00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:18,680
Speaker 1: tip your hat to the kid. He once upon a time,

327
00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:20,840
Speaker 1: right was a number one overall recruit or I don't

328
00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:22,360
Speaker 1: know if he was a number one overall group, but

329
00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:24,680
Speaker 1: he was clearly really big. Him and Kyler ended up

330
00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:27,560
Speaker 1: at the same school, didn't work out, both transferred. Here's

331
00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:28,880
Speaker 1: what I do know, And if you've been listening to

332
00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:31,920
Speaker 1: show for a while, you know my feelings on Vance Joseph.

333
00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:34,920
Speaker 1: I think he is the worst defensive coordinator in the NFL.

334
00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:39,240
Speaker 1: So I don't I'm not gonna diminish or take anything

335
00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:42,480
Speaker 1: away from Kyle Allen's performance, because your performances your performance.

336
00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:45,560
Speaker 1: But like I said, you gotta put some stuff into context.

337
00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:48,120
Speaker 1: It was against Vance Joseph this week a little bit

338
00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:51,040
Speaker 1: different animal on the road against the Houston Texans, who

339
00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:54,000
Speaker 1: are a pretty damn good team. Weird, flawed team, but

340
00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:56,160
Speaker 1: a good team. I think last week they started playing

341
00:16:56,560 --> 00:16:59,560
Speaker 1: some of their younger offensive line, like Ding Ding Ding.

342
00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:02,040
Speaker 1: Good job, Bill O'Brien. You draft guys in the first

343
00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:03,720
Speaker 1: and second round, even if you don't like him, you

344
00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:05,960
Speaker 1: might as well play them and see what they can

345
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:08,840
Speaker 1: give you. Because when you're playing older veteran guys and

346
00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:11,520
Speaker 1: you go, well, he knows the scheme, well, Bill, he's

347
00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:13,640
Speaker 1: getting smoked every week they played. I think the first

348
00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:16,400
Speaker 1: round pick played right tackle, in the second round pick

349
00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:19,240
Speaker 1: played guard, and they were just much better against a

350
00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:21,439
Speaker 1: really good pass rush against I want to call them

351
00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:25,320
Speaker 1: the San Diego but the Chargers and this line seems

352
00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:27,239
Speaker 1: a little off to me. I think the Panthers are

353
00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:30,440
Speaker 1: getting a little too much respect with Kyle Allen. You're

354
00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:33,119
Speaker 1: probably getting three or four points here for Texans. I

355
00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:36,000
Speaker 1: like Texans, and I like Texans pretty big. Deshaun Watson's

356
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:38,639
Speaker 1: having a fantastic season, and I always say this, I

357
00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:40,800
Speaker 1: make fun of Bill O'Brien a lot as a general manager.

358
00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:44,200
Speaker 1: I've never questioned his coaching ability. And it looks pretty

359
00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:47,200
Speaker 1: clear that if the Texans can just stabilize their offensive line,

360
00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:49,680
Speaker 1: they're They're a double digit win team and they will

361
00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:51,879
Speaker 1: play in the playoffs. Now whether they win the division

362
00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:54,320
Speaker 1: will come down I think between them and the Colts.

363
00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:57,280
Speaker 1: But they're pretty damn good. I like Houston to kick

364
00:17:57,320 --> 00:17:59,320
Speaker 1: the Panthers. But here now, the one thing I'll get

365
00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:01,720
Speaker 1: the Panthers, you can't really I want to get this

366
00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:05,000
Speaker 1: in really quick. We we talked a lot about McCaffrey,

367
00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:08,399
Speaker 1: you know, over the fall, but they're two uh wide

368
00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:11,480
Speaker 1: receiver especially DJ Moore from last year's draft, can fly

369
00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:15,000
Speaker 1: so that they can't score points. That's why when you

370
00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:17,399
Speaker 1: see a quarterback that can just function in the offense.

371
00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:19,480
Speaker 1: They got players. This isn't three or four years ago

372
00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:21,840
Speaker 1: when you're like, well, who's camp playing with? They got

373
00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:24,000
Speaker 1: DJ More, they got the Samuel Kidd from Ohio State,

374
00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:26,560
Speaker 1: and Christian McCaffrey's a star so and Greg Olsen is

375
00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:31,679
Speaker 1: still good Browns at the Ravens. You guys know me.

376
00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:35,119
Speaker 1: I love authenticity. I love being true to yourself and

377
00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:38,399
Speaker 1: speaking your mind. And I don't demand guys act like

378
00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:41,240
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson and say nothing. But there comes to a

379
00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:43,840
Speaker 1: point that I think you learned this right in economics,

380
00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:47,000
Speaker 1: the law of diminishing returns. It also works just for eating.

381
00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:49,040
Speaker 1: Like if you love eating a good meal, well, if

382
00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:51,160
Speaker 1: you eat way too much, it stops tasting as good.

383
00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:55,200
Speaker 1: Like your seventh helping well, Baker Mayfield, when Rex Ryan

384
00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:58,480
Speaker 1: calls you out, just this was a BP basketball for

385
00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:00,960
Speaker 1: for Baker Mayfield, just say you know what I don't

386
00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:03,159
Speaker 1: care what Rex Ryan thinks. We're focused on the Ravens.

387
00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:05,199
Speaker 1: Why are you focused on the Ravens because right now

388
00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:07,600
Speaker 1: they're the best team in your division and you're going

389
00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:10,040
Speaker 1: on the road and your seven point underdog. I think

390
00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:12,720
Speaker 1: most people that aren't Brown's fans like them to kick

391
00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:16,120
Speaker 1: your ass. So I think Baker Mayfield always makes stories

392
00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:18,639
Speaker 1: bigger than they have to be. He can never stop talking.

393
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:22,440
Speaker 1: Everywhere we turn. He's on commercials and listen. I'm a capitalist, Yeah,

394
00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:24,760
Speaker 1: I don't turn down money, so I don't blame him

395
00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:26,959
Speaker 1: for doing the commercials at all. I would have done

396
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:29,000
Speaker 1: him too if I was him, who probably gave him

397
00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:31,200
Speaker 1: a ton. I don't know who's paying the state farm

398
00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:33,480
Speaker 1: or whatever when he's in the Cleveland Stadium with his wife.

399
00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:36,680
Speaker 1: I get it. I am pro doing commercials. I am

400
00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:40,119
Speaker 1: pro making money, but I'm also pro when when you

401
00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:42,040
Speaker 1: put yourself on a pedestal like that and you're on

402
00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:45,240
Speaker 1: as many commercials, you better come through. And right now

403
00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:47,480
Speaker 1: you are not coming through, and there's a chance. I

404
00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:49,399
Speaker 1: don't know if it gets out or not by the

405
00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:51,520
Speaker 1: time you're listening to this. It came out today on Twitter.

406
00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:53,560
Speaker 1: The All twenty two of you did. It looks like

407
00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:56,760
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield called an audible on that fourth and nine draw.

408
00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:01,159
Speaker 1: Like Baker, if that's true, even though a coach you know,

409
00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:02,720
Speaker 1: got up on the on the in front of the

410
00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:04,480
Speaker 1: mic and said it was on him. This this is

411
00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:06,480
Speaker 1: a big boy league. This is a This is a

412
00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:10,400
Speaker 1: league where the quarterbacks make huge, huge money to wear that.

413
00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:12,159
Speaker 1: So if you did that and you call it an

414
00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:14,040
Speaker 1: audible and you got up in on that podium and

415
00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:17,200
Speaker 1: you didn't take responsibility for that, that ain't a good sign.

416
00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:19,280
Speaker 1: That is not a good sign at all, because that's

417
00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:22,119
Speaker 1: an easy one. Yeah, I screwed up. I called an audible.

418
00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:24,720
Speaker 1: I I heard us. I think part of the reason,

419
00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:27,119
Speaker 1: my guess is if he did call the audible, he

420
00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:29,119
Speaker 1: thought it was third down, not fourth down, because you

421
00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:32,000
Speaker 1: would never check into a fourth and nine draw no

422
00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:35,080
Speaker 1: matter what not at that point in time in the game. Um,

423
00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:37,040
Speaker 1: I like the Ravens. I just I don't think the

424
00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:39,240
Speaker 1: Browns are that good. And at the end of the day,

425
00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:41,560
Speaker 1: just say this and this is how I picked games. Coordinators,

426
00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:44,520
Speaker 1: first coordinators, head coach, first, head coach, well wink Martin

427
00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:46,240
Speaker 1: Dale is one of the best defensive coordinators in the

428
00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:50,439
Speaker 1: league going up against Freddy Kitchens mismatch. I I just

429
00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:53,040
Speaker 1: don't see it. And the Ravens coming off a tough

430
00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:55,720
Speaker 1: loss where they still to score, look a lot better

431
00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:57,720
Speaker 1: than the game they got their rass kicked. I just

432
00:20:57,760 --> 00:21:00,440
Speaker 1: think Lamar Jackson, John Harbaugh at home him. You're telling

433
00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:01,879
Speaker 1: me Baker Mayfield is gonna go on the road in

434
00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:04,280
Speaker 1: Baltimore with everything that's going on with the Browns gonna win.

435
00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:06,560
Speaker 1: I just don't see it. Like the Ravens, I don't

436
00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:08,920
Speaker 1: know about necessarily covering the seven points. That's a lot

437
00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:11,600
Speaker 1: of points. Their secondary is a little questionable, and if

438
00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:13,119
Speaker 1: Baker can just get the ball in the hands of

439
00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:15,560
Speaker 1: his playmakers, he should be able to score. But hard

440
00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:17,920
Speaker 1: enough to Like the Ravens, I don't know how you

441
00:21:17,960 --> 00:21:20,399
Speaker 1: could watch this game. Well, I guess Danny Dimes excuse me.

442
00:21:20,640 --> 00:21:24,639
Speaker 1: Redskins at Giants, The Redskins are just an absolute debacle

443
00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:26,879
Speaker 1: getting three points. To me, this line should be higher.

444
00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:29,840
Speaker 1: The only question mark is is the Giants defense is

445
00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:32,520
Speaker 1: historically probably the worst defense in the history of the franchise.

446
00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:35,359
Speaker 1: But Danny Dimes, and anytime you get Danny Dives and

447
00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:37,639
Speaker 1: I think a little bit like Kyle Allen. It's different

448
00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:39,760
Speaker 1: because he was a six overall pick, But how does

449
00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:41,600
Speaker 1: the guy play in a second week. It's one thing

450
00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:43,919
Speaker 1: to have an incredible week, and it was awesome. I

451
00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:47,080
Speaker 1: talked about it on Monday for the for the podcast

452
00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:49,760
Speaker 1: first podcast the Week. He was great. Tip your hat

453
00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:51,639
Speaker 1: to him. He was. He was fantastic. He couldn't have

454
00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:54,560
Speaker 1: been much better. Can he followed up? And you don't

455
00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:56,199
Speaker 1: even need to be that good? But can you have

456
00:21:56,240 --> 00:21:58,560
Speaker 1: a game where you throw it for two yards and

457
00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:00,800
Speaker 1: a couple of touchdowns and no pi X, then it

458
00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:03,120
Speaker 1: would be like wow. Because the Redskins defense, I got

459
00:22:03,119 --> 00:22:05,880
Speaker 1: news for you, is not bad. Their front seven's good,

460
00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:07,840
Speaker 1: their corner stink. But it's not like the Giants have

461
00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:13,280
Speaker 1: Plaxico Bursts walking through that door the Chargers, so I

462
00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:16,480
Speaker 1: can't maybe like the the Giants, I mean, the Redskins

463
00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:19,399
Speaker 1: really gonna go to and fourteen. They have better players

464
00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:21,320
Speaker 1: than that. Actually, kind of like the Redskins and the

465
00:22:21,359 --> 00:22:26,320
Speaker 1: Points Chargers at Miami Dolphins is such a joke. I mean,

466
00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:29,880
Speaker 1: Sam Hinky, no one appreciates what you did besides six

467
00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:32,040
Speaker 1: or fans. Kind of though they probably should have had

468
00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:34,640
Speaker 1: the Greek freak as well. But if you're gonna tank,

469
00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:37,359
Speaker 1: just make sure it's only one year. Every single week

470
00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:42,240
Speaker 1: they're seventeen twenty one point Underdocks, It's only gonna get worse.

471
00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:46,360
Speaker 1: Chargers get Melvin Gordon back, one of the dumbest holdouts

472
00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:49,520
Speaker 1: I think we've seen in sports history. You could argue

473
00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:52,320
Speaker 1: it's the dumbest holdout in sports history. Will have to

474
00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:54,840
Speaker 1: take inventory to how much money he makes when he

475
00:22:54,880 --> 00:22:57,680
Speaker 1: signs as a free agent this offseason. But the Chargers

476
00:22:57,720 --> 00:22:59,960
Speaker 1: coming off a pretty devastating loss where they were up

477
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:02,639
Speaker 1: in the second half against the Texans. I mean, I

478
00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:04,359
Speaker 1: don't see how they don't go to Miami and just

479
00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:07,919
Speaker 1: blow the brakes off him. Now last as I'm recording this,

480
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:10,200
Speaker 1: Melvin Gordon is not supposed to play. Not that would

481
00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:12,919
Speaker 1: even make a difference, but I I would imagine the

482
00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:15,879
Speaker 1: Chargers just, you know, just run the ball down their throat,

483
00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:18,800
Speaker 1: pretty ugly, pretty boring game, kick their ass sixteen points.

484
00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:22,479
Speaker 1: I'd probably take the sixteen points Raiders at the Colts.

485
00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:25,359
Speaker 1: I wrote an article this week on The Athletic that

486
00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:28,280
Speaker 1: Jon Gruden is, you know, one of the biggest debacles

487
00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:30,959
Speaker 1: we've seen in recent memory, given how much money he

488
00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:33,760
Speaker 1: you know they paid him, traded Cleil Mack traded a

489
00:23:33,800 --> 00:23:37,040
Speaker 1: Marii Cooper. Cooper, who's right now tied in the league

490
00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:39,680
Speaker 1: with t Y Hilton and Julio Jones for with four touchdowns,

491
00:23:39,720 --> 00:23:42,680
Speaker 1: who looks like an all pro. His team is a joke.

492
00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:45,640
Speaker 1: They just got boat raced by Minnesota. They got boat

493
00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:48,960
Speaker 1: what raced the week before by the Knee Chiefs. Looking

494
00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:51,520
Speaker 1: back at that first game, that win against Denver, will

495
00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:55,480
Speaker 1: Denver's oh and three, They're terrible. And my point was

496
00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:58,960
Speaker 1: is for this guy known as an offensive guru, it's

497
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:01,520
Speaker 1: it's it's a fry vidulant nickname because he's not an

498
00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:04,879
Speaker 1: offensive guru. I watched like Indianapolis the last couple of weeks.

499
00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:07,440
Speaker 1: Frank writch, he's a really good offensive coach. He does

500
00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:10,400
Speaker 1: things every game where you go, wow, that's impressive. WHOA

501
00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:13,280
Speaker 1: didn't see that one coming? Grew never does that. He

502
00:24:13,359 --> 00:24:16,160
Speaker 1: spends all this time, he doesn't sleep. What's the point

503
00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:18,960
Speaker 1: of all that? I I can't grasp what the point

504
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:21,359
Speaker 1: of working sun up till sundown if you're just gonna

505
00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:24,879
Speaker 1: call the same stupid plays that don't work. And you know,

506
00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:27,439
Speaker 1: I get Derek's taking a lot of heat. But we

507
00:24:27,480 --> 00:24:30,040
Speaker 1: saw the only time Grew never wins is when Derek

508
00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:31,919
Speaker 1: just has a good game start to finish. He can

509
00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:34,880
Speaker 1: never get Derek to some easy plays, easy lay up place.

510
00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:37,680
Speaker 1: And the more and more they lose is looking like

511
00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:41,000
Speaker 1: this is gonna be Derek Carr's last year in UH

512
00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:43,520
Speaker 1: in Oakland. Where will we be next year? Maybe Tennessee,

513
00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:46,480
Speaker 1: maybe Chicago, who knows. Like I said about India earlier

514
00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:49,080
Speaker 1: in the week, they're just really good. UH. As of

515
00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:51,640
Speaker 1: recording this, it doesn't look like t Y is gonna play,

516
00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:53,800
Speaker 1: but you never know. They don't need t Y. They

517
00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:56,200
Speaker 1: should kick the crap out of the Raiders. This should

518
00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:58,880
Speaker 1: be like a twenty two seven game. It should never

519
00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:01,439
Speaker 1: be close. I don't exp back to be close. And

520
00:25:01,480 --> 00:25:03,879
Speaker 1: you're looking at a Raiders team that's probably gonna win

521
00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:07,879
Speaker 1: three or four games. Chiefs at Detroit minus six and

522
00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:10,959
Speaker 1: a half. The Chiefs there are a road favorite by

523
00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:13,520
Speaker 1: almost a touchdown against a team that's two oh and one.

524
00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:15,840
Speaker 1: That shows you how good the Chiefs are. Now, so

525
00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:18,600
Speaker 1: let's start with the Chiefs. If the Kansas City was

526
00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:21,560
Speaker 1: an indoor team, we once upon a time called the

527
00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:26,080
Speaker 1: Kurt Warner, Isaac Bruce, Marshall, Falk, Mike Mart's, all those

528
00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:28,560
Speaker 1: guys the greatest show on turf. This would be the

529
00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:31,439
Speaker 1: greatest show on turf. Now they play at Arrowhead, especially

530
00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:33,600
Speaker 1: as a year goes on it gets cold and windy.

531
00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:37,760
Speaker 1: This team was this team was made to play on

532
00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:40,840
Speaker 1: on an indoor facility, on a rug. I just don't

533
00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:43,720
Speaker 1: see how Detroit can score at their level. Though. I

534
00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:46,480
Speaker 1: will give Detroit credit. They have played well and they

535
00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:50,199
Speaker 1: have taken advantage of some you know, variables that have

536
00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:53,320
Speaker 1: fallen their way. I mean, last week, the Philadelphia Eagles

537
00:25:53,359 --> 00:25:56,560
Speaker 1: could not catch a cold. They dropped every single ball

538
00:25:56,720 --> 00:25:59,520
Speaker 1: despite still hanging in the game. And at the end

539
00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:02,080
Speaker 1: of the day, I just don't really trust Matt Patricia.

540
00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:06,080
Speaker 1: I just I don't know, man, I just see a guy.

541
00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:08,359
Speaker 1: That last game is a good example where they're in

542
00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:12,199
Speaker 1: position to knock the Eagles out and he screws up

543
00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:13,800
Speaker 1: the clock management and they have to kick a field

544
00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:15,879
Speaker 1: goal and ends up getting blocked. And that really the

545
00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:18,399
Speaker 1: Eagles were in position to win if not for a

546
00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:21,440
Speaker 1: stupid block in the back penalty. Now, Matt Stafford's playing

547
00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:23,920
Speaker 1: really well. They're doing a good job with Matt Stafford.

548
00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:26,399
Speaker 1: I like the running back they have Kerwin. Is it

549
00:26:26,760 --> 00:26:28,800
Speaker 1: Johnson or Williams. I play him all the time in

550
00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:31,600
Speaker 1: daily fantasy. The guy from Auburn. He's a good player there.

551
00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:33,560
Speaker 1: Passing game now has been good for a couple of years.

552
00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:36,359
Speaker 1: T J. Hockinson, the the rookie tight end is a

553
00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:41,600
Speaker 1: star like that guy is a stud. But I don't know.

554
00:26:41,640 --> 00:26:43,720
Speaker 1: I mean, I I get it on paper. The Chiefs

555
00:26:43,800 --> 00:26:46,440
Speaker 1: every year, even when they've been really good these last

556
00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:48,680
Speaker 1: couple of years, have lost a couple of weird games.

557
00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:50,720
Speaker 1: This would be one of those games that wouldn't shock me.

558
00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:53,600
Speaker 1: But because their two oh and one, if they were

559
00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:56,080
Speaker 1: one and two, but it played the exact same which

560
00:26:56,119 --> 00:26:58,400
Speaker 1: easily could have been the case, I would say maybe

561
00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:01,040
Speaker 1: the Chiefs players overlook them. But the more I've thought

562
00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:02,520
Speaker 1: about this game over the week, I just don't see

563
00:27:02,520 --> 00:27:05,800
Speaker 1: the Chiefs overlooking this Detroit team, just because anytime you

564
00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:07,159
Speaker 1: get in front of your team and you go this

565
00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:09,760
Speaker 1: team hasn't lost. Now, granted they tied a game that

566
00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:12,399
Speaker 1: they easily should have won, but still I think the

567
00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:15,399
Speaker 1: Chiefs will take this game seriously. And I was really

568
00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:18,640
Speaker 1: really all in on taking the Lions and the points.

569
00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:20,200
Speaker 1: But the more I thought about, I'm just not betting

570
00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:22,360
Speaker 1: against my homes, I'm just I'm just not doing it.

571
00:27:22,760 --> 00:27:25,840
Speaker 1: Pat's a Buffalo. This game is interesting, kind of like

572
00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:27,800
Speaker 1: the Chiefs and the and the Lions, a little different

573
00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:30,480
Speaker 1: because Buffalo's defense is just top notch. I worked with

574
00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:34,480
Speaker 1: Sean McDermott for a year in Philadelphia. Just a really

575
00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:37,439
Speaker 1: really high level guy. We've seen what he did forever

576
00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:40,480
Speaker 1: in Carolina when their defenses were kicking ass and taking names,

577
00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:43,840
Speaker 1: have something like that going in Buffalo. Remember, he got

578
00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:47,280
Speaker 1: rid of a lot of players, from Darby to Sammy Watkins.

579
00:27:47,520 --> 00:27:49,680
Speaker 1: He shipped a lot of players that he inherited out

580
00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:53,480
Speaker 1: over the years. And they're they're just playing really well.

581
00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:56,800
Speaker 1: So can New England, who clearly is the best team

582
00:27:56,800 --> 00:27:59,359
Speaker 1: in the league. Just well rounded team. You'd say the

583
00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:02,639
Speaker 1: Chiefs have the best offense. New England probably is New England,

584
00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:04,200
Speaker 1: and the Bears have the best defense. And it's not

585
00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:06,680
Speaker 1: like New England's offense bad. So New England top to

586
00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:09,879
Speaker 1: bottoms the best team. There's a big game. Uh you know,

587
00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:12,480
Speaker 1: I don't think Belichick would mind losing this just to

588
00:28:12,560 --> 00:28:14,600
Speaker 1: kind of wake his guys up. I watched some of

589
00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:17,439
Speaker 1: the Brady's press conference on Wednesday, and one thing he

590
00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:19,320
Speaker 1: talked about is we haven't played well in Buffalo now

591
00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:21,200
Speaker 1: for a couple of years. It's a tough place to play.

592
00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:24,840
Speaker 1: DU's tailgate and throwing each other into chairs and tables.

593
00:28:25,440 --> 00:28:27,840
Speaker 1: I think Buffalo can give him a game as long

594
00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:30,320
Speaker 1: as their their defense just does what they've been doing.

595
00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:32,760
Speaker 1: How do they score on New England though, It's been

596
00:28:32,800 --> 00:28:35,040
Speaker 1: a struggle for them to score on teams like Cincinnati.

597
00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:38,480
Speaker 1: For me, if you said the Buffalo Bills upset the

598
00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:41,480
Speaker 1: New England Patriots, I'd say they have to get twenty

599
00:28:41,480 --> 00:28:43,280
Speaker 1: plus points. I just don't know how they get twenty

600
00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:46,280
Speaker 1: plus points on the Pats. The patch right now through

601
00:28:46,320 --> 00:28:48,600
Speaker 1: three games have given up an average of five. I

602
00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:51,040
Speaker 1: think it's five points, seven points a game. I don't know.

603
00:28:51,080 --> 00:28:53,120
Speaker 1: I mean that's if they end up the year at

604
00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:56,760
Speaker 1: like twelve, that would be an incredible accomplishment. But this

605
00:28:56,840 --> 00:28:59,000
Speaker 1: is this is one of the games you have circled dig.

606
00:28:59,080 --> 00:29:01,680
Speaker 1: Just a football fan, I want to watch Titans at

607
00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:05,240
Speaker 1: the Falcons. Both teams wanted to. Falcons lost one of

608
00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:08,200
Speaker 1: their key guys on defense. Titans have just been there

609
00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:13,120
Speaker 1: because of Mariota Falcons minus forward home. I've tweeted this,

610
00:29:13,360 --> 00:29:15,680
Speaker 1: I've said this over and over. What you're watching right

611
00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:18,720
Speaker 1: now with Julio Jones looks like t O and his prime.

612
00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:22,320
Speaker 1: He is a dominant, dominant force right now, kicking ass,

613
00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:25,400
Speaker 1: taking names. He's unstoppable. Because you watched the Colts game

614
00:29:25,480 --> 00:29:28,000
Speaker 1: last week. The Colts beat the crap out of them.

615
00:29:28,080 --> 00:29:30,680
Speaker 1: The only reason, I repeat, the only reason that game

616
00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:33,640
Speaker 1: was close because Julio wouldn't let it as new. But

617
00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:36,080
Speaker 1: Julio was dominant. He had a touchdown in the back

618
00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:39,760
Speaker 1: corner of the end zone that was like, jeez, Luise, Uh,

619
00:29:39,840 --> 00:29:41,920
Speaker 1: you know, I guess I like the Falcons. I don't.

620
00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:44,000
Speaker 1: I don't really like either of these teams. If the

621
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:47,400
Speaker 1: Titans quarterback play screwed that, they're in trouble in Atlanta,

622
00:29:47,480 --> 00:29:50,120
Speaker 1: just again, too many injuries, kind of soft, not a

623
00:29:50,120 --> 00:29:53,360
Speaker 1: big detail oriented squad. You know, Dan Quinn might be

624
00:29:53,440 --> 00:29:54,680
Speaker 1: in trouble at the end of this year if they

625
00:29:54,720 --> 00:29:57,560
Speaker 1: missed the playoffs. So I'm just going with the Falcons

626
00:29:57,600 --> 00:29:59,520
Speaker 1: by default. But I don't really like both these teams.

627
00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:03,040
Speaker 1: Tampa at l A that this game is interesting on paper,

628
00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:06,440
Speaker 1: because Tampa's getting nine points on the road. Say one

629
00:30:06,480 --> 00:30:08,640
Speaker 1: thing you want about Bruce arians that he might get

630
00:30:08,680 --> 00:30:11,280
Speaker 1: a little pass happy, but this team can score. Mike

631
00:30:11,320 --> 00:30:14,680
Speaker 1: Evans is a monster, godwins a stud. They got the

632
00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:16,840
Speaker 1: two tight ends break and O. J. Howard that can

633
00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:19,520
Speaker 1: make plays as long as Jamis isn't turning the ball over,

634
00:30:19,600 --> 00:30:22,520
Speaker 1: which is a big if they can score points. Uh.

635
00:30:22,560 --> 00:30:25,400
Speaker 1: The the young kid they have from USC, Ronald Jones,

636
00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:28,040
Speaker 1: has kind of been coming on. Barbara, the guy they've

637
00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:30,040
Speaker 1: had for a while, has been playing well. Their offense

638
00:30:30,120 --> 00:30:32,720
Speaker 1: is good. It's not like l A is the eighty

639
00:30:32,760 --> 00:30:35,560
Speaker 1: five Bears. Here. Here's the other thing. Jared Goff has

640
00:30:35,560 --> 00:30:37,200
Speaker 1: been a little hit or missed so far this year.

641
00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:39,680
Speaker 1: If you go back the last like five or six games,

642
00:30:39,760 --> 00:30:42,880
Speaker 1: check out his NFL dot com page. He hasn't really

643
00:30:42,920 --> 00:30:46,400
Speaker 1: been playing like a ten million dollar man. Now l

644
00:30:46,480 --> 00:30:49,719
Speaker 1: A at home mcpace such a good coach. Cooper Cups

645
00:30:49,720 --> 00:30:52,240
Speaker 1: playing well. The mystery of Todd Gurley. I don't know

646
00:30:52,280 --> 00:30:54,240
Speaker 1: what the hell is going on. I guess he's got arthritis,

647
00:30:54,240 --> 00:30:56,320
Speaker 1: but some games he looks better than others. A weird deal.

648
00:30:57,520 --> 00:30:59,200
Speaker 1: I like Tampa in the points now I don't like

649
00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:01,320
Speaker 1: Tampa to win the game, but you're getting nine points

650
00:31:01,320 --> 00:31:03,760
Speaker 1: with an offense they can score that much. Tampa plus

651
00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:06,080
Speaker 1: nine is is my pick. Seattle letter is owner. There's

652
00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:08,720
Speaker 1: a no brainer for me. Seattle coming off just a

653
00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:12,560
Speaker 1: game where kind of like the Falcons, the score is

654
00:31:12,600 --> 00:31:15,760
Speaker 1: not indicative of what we witnessed. If you watch that

655
00:31:15,800 --> 00:31:20,640
Speaker 1: game back, Seattle got worked by the Saints got worked.

656
00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:24,200
Speaker 1: I don't have the record in front of me, but

657
00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:26,560
Speaker 1: since the Seattle has gotten good in like two twelve,

658
00:31:26,600 --> 00:31:28,720
Speaker 1: I can't imagine Pete Carroll losing back to back games

659
00:31:28,720 --> 00:31:32,440
Speaker 1: too often, especially back to back games where his second

660
00:31:32,480 --> 00:31:35,000
Speaker 1: game was against a lesser opponent. The Cardinals are not

661
00:31:35,080 --> 00:31:38,760
Speaker 1: good fans. Joseph's terrible Tyler Murray just looks like a

662
00:31:38,800 --> 00:31:42,920
Speaker 1: midget back there. I've said from the beginning, Cliff Kingsbury,

663
00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:44,400
Speaker 1: no chance he was gonna come to the NFL and

664
00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:47,880
Speaker 1: have success. I like Seattle big in this game. Okay,

665
00:31:47,920 --> 00:31:50,840
Speaker 1: this might be the game of the week. Minnesota at

666
00:31:50,880 --> 00:31:53,080
Speaker 1: the Bears. There's there's a lot on the line in

667
00:31:53,120 --> 00:31:55,960
Speaker 1: this game. Minnesota's two and one, the Bears are two

668
00:31:55,960 --> 00:31:59,080
Speaker 1: in one. Both teams look very you know, the Bears

669
00:31:59,120 --> 00:32:02,840
Speaker 1: look kind of heavy because they're elite. On defense, Mitch

670
00:32:02,920 --> 00:32:05,440
Speaker 1: is very hit or miss, but we've seen Matt Naggy

671
00:32:05,560 --> 00:32:09,720
Speaker 1: overcome Mitch last year. Minnesota who looks better this year

672
00:32:09,760 --> 00:32:13,680
Speaker 1: they did last year on defense, just a little more cohesion. Offensively,

673
00:32:13,800 --> 00:32:17,680
Speaker 1: Dalvin Cook looks like a superstar, but Cousins looks off.

674
00:32:18,160 --> 00:32:20,680
Speaker 1: So you're telling me here's where here's why I like

675
00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:22,640
Speaker 1: the Bears in this game one. It's just in Chicago,

676
00:32:23,080 --> 00:32:26,120
Speaker 1: So if wherever these two teams were playing, I'd probably

677
00:32:26,160 --> 00:32:28,200
Speaker 1: just lean the home team. But the thing, to me,

678
00:32:28,280 --> 00:32:30,600
Speaker 1: that's the differentiating factor that I'm gonna give Mitch a

679
00:32:30,640 --> 00:32:33,120
Speaker 1: little bit of the benefit of doubt at home. I

680
00:32:33,160 --> 00:32:36,600
Speaker 1: hate Cousins against the Bears defense. I just I hate it.

681
00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:39,160
Speaker 1: And the other thing is their offense has been pretty

682
00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:42,080
Speaker 1: dependent on Dalvin Cook. Again, I'm not saying he's the

683
00:32:42,080 --> 00:32:43,680
Speaker 1: best running back in the league, but if you wanted

684
00:32:43,720 --> 00:32:46,040
Speaker 1: to make the argument, I'd at least listen, how's he

685
00:32:46,040 --> 00:32:48,000
Speaker 1: gonna be able to run against the Bears defense? That

686
00:32:48,080 --> 00:32:50,560
Speaker 1: that Bears front four is just dominant. You can you

687
00:32:50,600 --> 00:32:52,680
Speaker 1: can't move them really, their front seven, I mean, the

688
00:32:52,800 --> 00:32:54,680
Speaker 1: two linebackers make all their tackles and then when you

689
00:32:54,720 --> 00:32:56,920
Speaker 1: try to throw those two safeties make a bunch of plays.

690
00:32:57,680 --> 00:33:01,120
Speaker 1: How is Minnesota gonna do anything on offense? And they've

691
00:33:01,120 --> 00:33:03,080
Speaker 1: had one of the better running offenses in the league

692
00:33:03,080 --> 00:33:06,440
Speaker 1: so far because Dalvin Cook has been awesome. I forget

693
00:33:06,440 --> 00:33:08,640
Speaker 1: the backups name, but number twenty five he looks pretty

694
00:33:08,680 --> 00:33:11,280
Speaker 1: damn good too. That I just I don't, I don't

695
00:33:11,280 --> 00:33:13,360
Speaker 1: see it. I I don't, you know, I definitely like

696
00:33:13,480 --> 00:33:16,000
Speaker 1: this game being under I I just like the Bears

697
00:33:16,080 --> 00:33:18,680
Speaker 1: games at home. Uh, coming off a pretty big win

698
00:33:18,840 --> 00:33:21,040
Speaker 1: and their defense is really taken for him. And you

699
00:33:21,080 --> 00:33:24,000
Speaker 1: look back against that Packer game Week one, the only

700
00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:26,560
Speaker 1: reason the Packers for the touchdown is because Rogers the

701
00:33:26,560 --> 00:33:28,200
Speaker 1: guy jumped off side and he just threw it way

702
00:33:28,240 --> 00:33:31,240
Speaker 1: down the field. Actually it wasn't off the off side play,

703
00:33:31,280 --> 00:33:33,840
Speaker 1: but Rodgers just kind of freelanced and hit eighty three

704
00:33:33,840 --> 00:33:35,240
Speaker 1: on a big play and then they scored a couple

705
00:33:35,240 --> 00:33:37,480
Speaker 1: of plays later. That was really the only offense of

706
00:33:37,520 --> 00:33:40,680
Speaker 1: that game. You're not moving the football on the Bears

707
00:33:40,680 --> 00:33:43,160
Speaker 1: at home. That just ain't happening with this group. They

708
00:33:43,160 --> 00:33:46,960
Speaker 1: are easily to me like the Patriots statistically right now,

709
00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:49,440
Speaker 1: scoring defense is the best. But when you just watch

710
00:33:49,480 --> 00:33:53,520
Speaker 1: the Bears play eleven guys their front seven and then

711
00:33:53,560 --> 00:33:55,800
Speaker 1: their dbs, they're just the They're the best. They have

712
00:33:55,920 --> 00:33:59,760
Speaker 1: the best personnel in the NFL defensively. So I I

713
00:33:59,800 --> 00:34:02,040
Speaker 1: think the Bears get a big win, and I don't

714
00:34:02,040 --> 00:34:05,680
Speaker 1: think that would be that reflective of Minnesota unless Cousins

715
00:34:05,720 --> 00:34:08,120
Speaker 1: just has like a four pick game. But if you

716
00:34:08,200 --> 00:34:10,880
Speaker 1: told me that the Minnesota beats the Bears, then I

717
00:34:10,920 --> 00:34:13,799
Speaker 1: would say that Kirk Cousins plays his best game as

718
00:34:13,800 --> 00:34:16,200
Speaker 1: a Minnesota Viking. This is a big game for the

719
00:34:16,360 --> 00:34:19,759
Speaker 1: for the Minnesota Vikings in their quarterback, because if he

720
00:34:19,760 --> 00:34:21,839
Speaker 1: has one of those two pick games and he's kind

721
00:34:21,840 --> 00:34:23,920
Speaker 1: of the reason they lose, you start going, how are

722
00:34:23,920 --> 00:34:25,719
Speaker 1: we gonna win a game in the playoffs with this guy?

723
00:34:25,880 --> 00:34:28,560
Speaker 1: We gave eighty five million dollars and he's just not

724
00:34:28,680 --> 00:34:31,120
Speaker 1: a big game guy. I'm I'm watching the Safe Way

725
00:34:31,200 --> 00:34:34,799
Speaker 1: Open in Napa Tony Romo. By the time you listen

726
00:34:34,840 --> 00:34:36,520
Speaker 1: to this, you might know that he's made the cut

727
00:34:36,560 --> 00:34:39,160
Speaker 1: or miss the cut. If he makes the cut and

728
00:34:39,239 --> 00:34:41,799
Speaker 1: plays this weekend at the at the safe Way Open

729
00:34:41,840 --> 00:34:45,640
Speaker 1: Saturday and Sunday, boomerissiasin is filling in for him with

730
00:34:45,719 --> 00:34:48,200
Speaker 1: Jim Nance. He's supposed to be calling this game Minnesota

731
00:34:48,239 --> 00:34:51,040
Speaker 1: at the Bears. But if he's he shot two under today,

732
00:34:51,120 --> 00:34:54,640
Speaker 1: beat guys like Phil Mickelson, he's he played awesome, he

733
00:34:54,680 --> 00:34:56,879
Speaker 1: will not be calling this game. That's that's pretty cool

734
00:34:57,040 --> 00:35:00,680
Speaker 1: talk about like player empowerment, that's employer and towerment. Yeah.

735
00:35:00,760 --> 00:35:03,000
Speaker 1: I can't make work this week. I'm playing in a

736
00:35:03,040 --> 00:35:06,560
Speaker 1: golf tournament. Tony Rome was a badass Jacksonville at Denver

737
00:35:07,560 --> 00:35:10,720
Speaker 1: Gardner Minshew versus vic Fangio. Vic Fangio has been terrible

738
00:35:10,719 --> 00:35:13,400
Speaker 1: this year. One thing, Uh, it's kind of evidence so

739
00:35:13,440 --> 00:35:16,239
Speaker 1: far with vic Fangio. Moving from the booth down to

740
00:35:16,280 --> 00:35:18,920
Speaker 1: the field is a huge downgrade for him. I've always

741
00:35:18,960 --> 00:35:21,000
Speaker 1: been told from people that work with him, his greatest

742
00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:23,200
Speaker 1: strength is his mind. And when you're in the booth,

743
00:35:23,200 --> 00:35:24,960
Speaker 1: you're able to see the entire field. I say it

744
00:35:25,000 --> 00:35:26,600
Speaker 1: all the time. If you ever go to a football game,

745
00:35:27,040 --> 00:35:29,120
Speaker 1: like a Division one college game or an NFL game,

746
00:35:29,520 --> 00:35:31,480
Speaker 1: you don't want to sit too close to the field.

747
00:35:31,760 --> 00:35:33,799
Speaker 1: You actually want to sit probably in the second deck

748
00:35:33,920 --> 00:35:36,320
Speaker 1: or lower third deck. It gives you the best vision

749
00:35:36,320 --> 00:35:38,680
Speaker 1: of the football field. You see you can see things

750
00:35:38,719 --> 00:35:41,160
Speaker 1: open up. Just a great view. When you sit too close,

751
00:35:41,200 --> 00:35:44,120
Speaker 1: you can't see anything. Now coaches are used to sitting

752
00:35:44,120 --> 00:35:46,400
Speaker 1: that close, but Vic Fangio is not. He spent his

753
00:35:46,520 --> 00:35:48,600
Speaker 1: entire career up in the box. It's where he does

754
00:35:48,640 --> 00:35:51,400
Speaker 1: his best work so far. Who would have thought that

755
00:35:51,760 --> 00:35:54,239
Speaker 1: that Bradley Chubb and Von Miller would not have a

756
00:35:54,280 --> 00:35:57,160
Speaker 1: sack or three games. That's that's insane. You know, they

757
00:35:57,200 --> 00:36:01,400
Speaker 1: were talking this offseason about making Vaughn Miller play the

758
00:36:01,440 --> 00:36:03,120
Speaker 1: best that he's ever played in his career. It's not

759
00:36:03,160 --> 00:36:05,160
Speaker 1: even close to that so far. And then Bradley Chubb

760
00:36:05,160 --> 00:36:07,320
Speaker 1: coming off a double digit sax season as a rookie

761
00:36:07,520 --> 00:36:10,480
Speaker 1: nowhere and you're the quarterback. Their defense looks awful. Flacco

762
00:36:10,560 --> 00:36:14,160
Speaker 1: actually hasn't been that terrible. He's just a boring watch. Uh.

763
00:36:14,320 --> 00:36:16,240
Speaker 1: You know, Jalen Ramsay, I think I saw on Twitter

764
00:36:16,280 --> 00:36:18,960
Speaker 1: today say he still wants to trade. I wouldn't trade him.

765
00:36:19,160 --> 00:36:21,000
Speaker 1: You know. If Jacksonville, I've said it over and over,

766
00:36:21,120 --> 00:36:23,160
Speaker 1: Jacksonville goes into Denver there two and two, and they're

767
00:36:23,200 --> 00:36:26,440
Speaker 1: kind of right back into this mix. I wouldn't discount

768
00:36:26,480 --> 00:36:28,640
Speaker 1: them yet. Now if they lose this game, I can't

769
00:36:28,640 --> 00:36:32,239
Speaker 1: take them seriously anymore. But I'm telling you keep an

770
00:36:32,239 --> 00:36:34,920
Speaker 1: eye on the Jacksonville Jaguars. And then in theory, what

771
00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:36,399
Speaker 1: should have been the game of the day, but when

772
00:36:36,440 --> 00:36:38,760
Speaker 1: Drew Brees went out, it's not quite as good. Remember

773
00:36:38,880 --> 00:36:41,520
Speaker 1: last year, I think it was a Thursday night game, right,

774
00:36:41,520 --> 00:36:43,840
Speaker 1: the Cowboys kind of kick Drew Brees and the Saints asked.

775
00:36:44,160 --> 00:36:46,280
Speaker 1: That's when I kind of jumped on the Cowboys bandwagon.

776
00:36:46,320 --> 00:36:49,040
Speaker 1: I was like, God, their defense is fast, physical, they

777
00:36:49,040 --> 00:36:52,160
Speaker 1: can cover, they can pass rush. The differences this year,

778
00:36:52,440 --> 00:36:54,239
Speaker 1: we've all They've always been able to run the ball

779
00:36:54,239 --> 00:36:56,800
Speaker 1: with Zeke, now they can really pass it. Lamari Cooper

780
00:36:56,840 --> 00:36:59,440
Speaker 1: has had an all pro level season. He's been unreal.

781
00:37:00,160 --> 00:37:02,200
Speaker 1: And you know, Zeke's so good out of the backfield.

782
00:37:02,480 --> 00:37:04,799
Speaker 1: Kellen Moore has been probably the assistant coach of the

783
00:37:04,840 --> 00:37:07,680
Speaker 1: year so far. Give the Saints credit. And this is

784
00:37:07,680 --> 00:37:10,439
Speaker 1: why you pay Sean Payton eight nine million dollars a year.

785
00:37:10,800 --> 00:37:13,640
Speaker 1: Went on the road to Seattle. They got a special

786
00:37:13,640 --> 00:37:17,080
Speaker 1: teams touchdown, they got a defensive touchdown. Alvin Kamara was

787
00:37:17,200 --> 00:37:18,800
Speaker 1: the star of that game. I mean, he kicked the

788
00:37:18,920 --> 00:37:23,000
Speaker 1: crap out of Seattle. I saw someone tweeted out like

789
00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:25,720
Speaker 1: the Pete Carroll quote, basically saying I didn't realize Alvin

790
00:37:25,800 --> 00:37:28,040
Speaker 1: Kamara was as good as he was. It like, Pete,

791
00:37:28,040 --> 00:37:30,000
Speaker 1: have you have you not been paying attention? Pete? Do

792
00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:33,040
Speaker 1: you not play fantasy football? Pete? You not just watch football?

793
00:37:33,080 --> 00:37:35,680
Speaker 1: You didn't know Alvin Kamara was good? Now. I don't

794
00:37:35,680 --> 00:37:39,000
Speaker 1: think even I knew maybe coming into this season how

795
00:37:39,080 --> 00:37:41,359
Speaker 1: good he is. But by about week two this year

796
00:37:41,440 --> 00:37:44,040
Speaker 1: is like, God, this guy is, this guy is unreal

797
00:37:44,400 --> 00:37:47,960
Speaker 1: and he he kicked just he he dominated that Seattle game,

798
00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:49,520
Speaker 1: in the past game, in the run game, he was

799
00:37:49,560 --> 00:37:52,799
Speaker 1: the best player on the field. I just you know,

800
00:37:53,080 --> 00:37:55,320
Speaker 1: if New Orleans now they're at home, the place is

801
00:37:55,360 --> 00:37:57,359
Speaker 1: gonna bens a Sunday night. To me if they don't

802
00:37:57,400 --> 00:38:00,520
Speaker 1: get a touch non offensive touchdown like they did in Seattle,

803
00:38:00,520 --> 00:38:03,600
Speaker 1: either a special teams touchdown, a defensive touchdown, or have

804
00:38:03,680 --> 00:38:06,520
Speaker 1: a couple of turnovers and big special teams play. I

805
00:38:06,560 --> 00:38:08,640
Speaker 1: just don't know how they play with d Alice without

806
00:38:08,719 --> 00:38:10,960
Speaker 1: Drew Brees, because the one thing we've seen with Teddy Bridgewater,

807
00:38:11,560 --> 00:38:13,880
Speaker 1: he's not throwing for three hundred plus yards. Hell, I

808
00:38:13,880 --> 00:38:15,959
Speaker 1: don't think Drew Brees would throw for three hundred plus

809
00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:19,400
Speaker 1: yards against this Cowboy team. Uh. The Cowboys are favored

810
00:38:19,600 --> 00:38:22,759
Speaker 1: obviously on the road, but that's mainly because the the

811
00:38:23,040 --> 00:38:27,360
Speaker 1: Saints are are playing their backup quarterback. I say this

812
00:38:27,400 --> 00:38:30,080
Speaker 1: all the time. If I don't like you as a prospect,

813
00:38:30,239 --> 00:38:34,000
Speaker 1: like I didn't Lamar Jackson like I did in Jamaar Uh,

814
00:38:34,120 --> 00:38:37,759
Speaker 1: Josh Allen, I didn't really like Teddy Bridgewater as a prospect,

815
00:38:38,040 --> 00:38:41,359
Speaker 1: but you're a good person and just a high character guy.

816
00:38:41,440 --> 00:38:43,880
Speaker 1: Like all three of those guys are. I root for

817
00:38:43,920 --> 00:38:47,280
Speaker 1: them as players, and that's why I don't like Lamar

818
00:38:47,360 --> 00:38:49,920
Speaker 1: Jackson the player. I mean, he entertains me now, but

819
00:38:50,040 --> 00:38:52,359
Speaker 1: I wouldn't want to be my quarterback. But I love

820
00:38:52,360 --> 00:38:54,239
Speaker 1: the kid everything I've heard about him, high character guy.

821
00:38:54,320 --> 00:38:56,399
Speaker 1: Say the same thing about Josh Allen. I don't know,

822
00:38:56,560 --> 00:38:58,960
Speaker 1: maybe he is. He's actually has a chance I think

823
00:38:58,960 --> 00:39:00,719
Speaker 1: to be pretty damn good. We'll see. I mean it's

824
00:39:00,719 --> 00:39:03,360
Speaker 1: gonna be a tough week Sunday. And same with Teddy.

825
00:39:03,680 --> 00:39:06,279
Speaker 1: I mean they're all different type players. But if you're

826
00:39:06,320 --> 00:39:08,319
Speaker 1: a great guy like I want you to succeed. I

827
00:39:08,320 --> 00:39:10,360
Speaker 1: don't care if I'm wrong. Now, if you're a turn

828
00:39:10,600 --> 00:39:12,520
Speaker 1: and a guy I don't like. I'm never rooting for you,

829
00:39:12,840 --> 00:39:14,959
Speaker 1: but like Teddy Bridgewater is a guy and that that

830
00:39:15,239 --> 00:39:17,000
Speaker 1: video of him in the locker room after the game

831
00:39:17,080 --> 00:39:20,000
Speaker 1: kind of went viral. He's an impossible guy not to like.

832
00:39:20,160 --> 00:39:22,839
Speaker 1: One one time at a Raider Vikings game when he

833
00:39:22,880 --> 00:39:24,600
Speaker 1: was the starter of the year that I think it

834
00:39:24,640 --> 00:39:27,080
Speaker 1: was the year Blair Walsh missed the missed the was

835
00:39:27,120 --> 00:39:30,000
Speaker 1: the extra point or missed the field goal in against Seattle.

836
00:39:30,960 --> 00:39:33,279
Speaker 1: He was walking after warm ups and saw a kid

837
00:39:33,320 --> 00:39:36,040
Speaker 1: far away. We're in the Minnesota Vikings Jersey walked over him,

838
00:39:36,040 --> 00:39:38,480
Speaker 1: gave him his gloves. He's just a high character guy.

839
00:39:38,520 --> 00:39:39,960
Speaker 1: He's an easy guy to roof for. I just don't

840
00:39:39,960 --> 00:39:41,920
Speaker 1: know how talented he is. And when you play the

841
00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:44,800
Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys defense, they can they can rush the pastor

842
00:39:44,840 --> 00:39:48,719
Speaker 1: they got two linebackers that are everywhere, and their secondary

843
00:39:48,760 --> 00:39:52,120
Speaker 1: is really fast and they're well coached. I just if

844
00:39:52,120 --> 00:39:54,960
Speaker 1: the Saints win, it would be an incredible win. It'd

845
00:39:55,000 --> 00:39:56,600
Speaker 1: be like one of the wins of the year to

846
00:39:56,719 --> 00:39:58,840
Speaker 1: have your backup quarterback and beat the Cowboys. I I

847
00:39:59,760 --> 00:40:03,120
Speaker 1: liked Alis in this game. Let's get to the Middlecoff

848
00:40:03,160 --> 00:40:06,360
Speaker 1: mail Bay at John Middlecoff Instagram handle. Slide up in

849
00:40:06,400 --> 00:40:09,920
Speaker 1: those d m s and I'll answer your question right here.

850
00:40:10,120 --> 00:40:13,480
Speaker 1: I love the show easily Top three football podcast. I

851
00:40:13,520 --> 00:40:17,319
Speaker 1: agree great knowledge blah blah blah. Presuming Mahomes is the

852
00:40:17,360 --> 00:40:20,320
Speaker 1: guy who is the second best quarterback in two thousand,

853
00:40:20,480 --> 00:40:23,560
Speaker 1: twenty four, five years from now, I would love to

854
00:40:23,560 --> 00:40:26,759
Speaker 1: see how your view Lawrence fields to uh. I mean

855
00:40:26,800 --> 00:40:28,920
Speaker 1: I wouldn't put any of those guys in the mix,

856
00:40:29,239 --> 00:40:31,799
Speaker 1: not because they couldn't be, but just because, I mean

857
00:40:31,800 --> 00:40:34,479
Speaker 1: that's a huge projection. I think you look right now,

858
00:40:35,880 --> 00:40:39,319
Speaker 1: it'd be Wins. I mean, how old's Wins right now? Six,

859
00:40:39,360 --> 00:40:41,600
Speaker 1: so he'd be in his mid thirties and four years

860
00:40:41,680 --> 00:40:44,600
Speaker 1: not in his mid thirty thirty years old, I'd be Wins.

861
00:40:44,680 --> 00:40:47,560
Speaker 1: I think the only guy even close to ma Homes

862
00:40:47,640 --> 00:40:50,600
Speaker 1: upside is Wins. The other guy would be Deshaun Watson.

863
00:40:51,440 --> 00:40:54,280
Speaker 1: I'd probably have those couple of guys now. Russell Wilson

864
00:40:54,360 --> 00:40:56,840
Speaker 1: I think is thirty years old, so he'd be thirty five.

865
00:40:57,320 --> 00:40:59,919
Speaker 1: I mean, look at Rogers is thirty five, so white

866
00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:02,880
Speaker 1: and Russell Wilson still be kicking ass. I would go

867
00:41:03,120 --> 00:41:07,040
Speaker 1: with but I'd go with Carson. That would be my

868
00:41:07,760 --> 00:41:14,359
Speaker 1: That would be my pick. Okay, next question, Hey John,

869
00:41:14,400 --> 00:41:16,640
Speaker 1: listen every week. I know you had covered this a

870
00:41:16,640 --> 00:41:20,439
Speaker 1: little bit on the previous podcast, but I don't really

871
00:41:20,520 --> 00:41:24,000
Speaker 1: understand the so called complication of Eli's Hall of Fame case.

872
00:41:24,040 --> 00:41:27,160
Speaker 1: I'm a Patriot fan, so maybe I'm seeing him takedown

873
00:41:27,239 --> 00:41:29,400
Speaker 1: my team twice in the Super Bowl makes me a

874
00:41:29,400 --> 00:41:31,840
Speaker 1: little biased. But he is currently eighth all time in

875
00:41:31,880 --> 00:41:34,200
Speaker 1: touchdowns and seventh all time in passing yards. I would

876
00:41:34,200 --> 00:41:36,640
Speaker 1: like to think the accolades of the two Super Bowls

877
00:41:36,640 --> 00:41:39,759
Speaker 1: make him a shoe in. Obviously not first ballot, but

878
00:41:39,840 --> 00:41:42,359
Speaker 1: I think he deserves to be. And I never hear

879
00:41:42,400 --> 00:41:45,239
Speaker 1: anyone ever mentioned these stats, just the five record and

880
00:41:45,880 --> 00:41:48,960
Speaker 1: inconsistency over the last few years. Just interested in your

881
00:41:49,000 --> 00:41:50,920
Speaker 1: thoughts on why people are so ung up on him

882
00:41:50,920 --> 00:41:54,160
Speaker 1: not being worthy the Hall of Fame because he's been

883
00:41:54,200 --> 00:41:57,319
Speaker 1: a very, very inconsistent player in his career. You know,

884
00:41:57,520 --> 00:41:59,200
Speaker 1: when I was in Philly, we obviously played him a

885
00:41:59,200 --> 00:42:01,760
Speaker 1: couple of times a year. You would just see him.

886
00:42:01,800 --> 00:42:04,560
Speaker 1: Obviously we'd play him, but you'd see him on cross tape.

887
00:42:05,080 --> 00:42:07,120
Speaker 1: He would just have these games where he looked like

888
00:42:07,120 --> 00:42:10,279
Speaker 1: a bottom ten quarterback in the NFL. He's one of

889
00:42:10,280 --> 00:42:13,640
Speaker 1: the more polarizing players that's probably gonna ever get into

890
00:42:13,680 --> 00:42:16,839
Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame, just because his lows were so

891
00:42:17,000 --> 00:42:20,000
Speaker 1: consistently low, you know, and he was a you know,

892
00:42:20,040 --> 00:42:22,120
Speaker 1: a full time starter. He had that record forever of

893
00:42:22,160 --> 00:42:24,959
Speaker 1: starting all those games, and he would just have years

894
00:42:24,960 --> 00:42:29,040
Speaker 1: where we throw picks, seven picks, and he was just terrible.

895
00:42:29,880 --> 00:42:32,520
Speaker 1: And his high end was high, but his low end

896
00:42:32,560 --> 00:42:35,040
Speaker 1: was low. If he hadn't won the two super Bowls,

897
00:42:35,040 --> 00:42:38,080
Speaker 1: if he had one super Bowl, he'd have no chance. Zero.

898
00:42:38,480 --> 00:42:41,600
Speaker 1: So I think the main reason he's in is because

899
00:42:41,640 --> 00:42:44,279
Speaker 1: he has two super Bowls, which I mean that that

900
00:42:44,360 --> 00:42:47,040
Speaker 1: should have some merit, right, I mean want to freaking

901
00:42:47,080 --> 00:42:52,480
Speaker 1: super Bowls. But man, I do understand the argument because

902
00:42:53,120 --> 00:42:58,359
Speaker 1: his consistency is pretty terrible. Which quarterbacks and sensation are

903
00:42:58,400 --> 00:43:02,400
Speaker 1: you buying into the most ail? Allen Mason, Rudolph Gardner,

904
00:43:02,560 --> 00:43:07,400
Speaker 1: Swagger Gardner, Swaggy Minshew or Danny Dimes? Who do you

905
00:43:07,440 --> 00:43:12,560
Speaker 1: think and reach peak play and sustain it? Well? I

906
00:43:12,600 --> 00:43:15,680
Speaker 1: would say Mason Rudolph, who I watched last week, was

907
00:43:15,760 --> 00:43:19,879
Speaker 1: got awful. So I would lend no one Mason Rudolph,

908
00:43:20,080 --> 00:43:23,960
Speaker 1: Kyle Allen play advanced Joseph, so I'm gonna temper my

909
00:43:24,040 --> 00:43:28,160
Speaker 1: expectations there it would be Minshew and Danny Dimes. And

910
00:43:28,239 --> 00:43:31,480
Speaker 1: in fairness to Danny Dimes, he was six overall pick.

911
00:43:32,360 --> 00:43:34,520
Speaker 1: You know, he was viewed as a first round guy.

912
00:43:34,640 --> 00:43:38,080
Speaker 1: Minshew was amid the late rounder. Now. I like Gardner Minshew,

913
00:43:38,200 --> 00:43:40,560
Speaker 1: but to me, Gardner Minshew at the end of the day,

914
00:43:40,880 --> 00:43:42,520
Speaker 1: when it's all said and done, is going to be

915
00:43:42,600 --> 00:43:45,719
Speaker 1: closer to a case Keenum type. I think when his

916
00:43:45,800 --> 00:43:47,600
Speaker 1: career he's gonna be in the league for ten years,

917
00:43:47,719 --> 00:43:51,279
Speaker 1: be but better version of like Chase Daniel. But he's

918
00:43:51,320 --> 00:43:53,600
Speaker 1: not like Danny Dimes, has a chance to be a

919
00:43:53,760 --> 00:43:56,920
Speaker 1: seven eight year story rock. I don't necessarily see Gardner Minshew.

920
00:43:58,000 --> 00:44:00,319
Speaker 1: And don't get me wrong, I love Minshew, I love

921
00:44:00,360 --> 00:44:01,640
Speaker 1: so I Can Minshew, but I don't know if I

922
00:44:01,640 --> 00:44:03,160
Speaker 1: see him as like a seven eight year starter. I

923
00:44:03,160 --> 00:44:05,839
Speaker 1: see him bouncing back and forth between a backup and

924
00:44:05,880 --> 00:44:08,279
Speaker 1: a starter. But I could be wrong, And maybe it's

925
00:44:08,280 --> 00:44:09,839
Speaker 1: just because I view him the way I think most

926
00:44:09,840 --> 00:44:12,759
Speaker 1: people viewed him coming out. Maybe that'll change because he

927
00:44:12,800 --> 00:44:16,680
Speaker 1: does have some innate just feel in the pocket playmaking.

928
00:44:17,440 --> 00:44:19,160
Speaker 1: He's got some shipped to him that there's no doubt

929
00:44:19,200 --> 00:44:20,920
Speaker 1: about it. So I don't want to come off like

930
00:44:20,960 --> 00:44:22,880
Speaker 1: I'm down on Gardner Minshew. But if I had to

931
00:44:22,920 --> 00:44:26,600
Speaker 1: bet on one and be Danny times over Minshew. Hey,

932
00:44:26,680 --> 00:44:30,040
Speaker 1: John fan of the podcast, my wide receiver one is

933
00:44:30,120 --> 00:44:32,400
Speaker 1: Hopkins wide receiver to his Cooper Cup. I'm trying to

934
00:44:32,480 --> 00:44:36,960
Speaker 1: choose between DeMarcus Robinson, Casey, Mike Williams Chargers in d

935
00:44:37,080 --> 00:44:41,080
Speaker 1: D Westbrook Jacksonville flex position. Well, I think Mike Williams

936
00:44:41,120 --> 00:44:44,080
Speaker 1: banged up, so I throw him off. Robinson Tyreek is

937
00:44:44,120 --> 00:44:46,080
Speaker 1: eventually gonna come back. But if you're just talking about

938
00:44:46,120 --> 00:44:49,400
Speaker 1: this week, I think d D is d D and charts.

939
00:44:49,440 --> 00:44:51,440
Speaker 1: I think it's having any charks. The guy they drafted

940
00:44:51,440 --> 00:44:53,680
Speaker 1: from l s U have kind of been Gardeners guys.

941
00:44:54,080 --> 00:44:57,120
Speaker 1: I've been playing d D in daily Fantasy, so again

942
00:44:57,160 --> 00:44:59,719
Speaker 1: I'm biased here, but I'm going with UH with d

943
00:44:59,800 --> 00:45:03,239
Speaker 1: D most upside there there the Jacksonville's playing in Denver.

944
00:45:03,360 --> 00:45:07,960
Speaker 1: Denver's offense has been terrible. I like d D with

945
00:45:08,000 --> 00:45:09,759
Speaker 1: the number of young quarterbacks in the league. With a

946
00:45:09,760 --> 00:45:12,680
Speaker 1: little game tape for defensive coordinators Kyler Murray, Daniel Jones,

947
00:45:12,760 --> 00:45:14,840
Speaker 1: how many games does it typically take for a defensive

948
00:45:14,840 --> 00:45:19,120
Speaker 1: coordinators start figuring out tennessees start slowing them down. Well,

949
00:45:19,160 --> 00:45:23,360
Speaker 1: I I think anytime you have the off season. I

950
00:45:23,400 --> 00:45:25,480
Speaker 1: think the off season plays a huge role. That's why

951
00:45:25,520 --> 00:45:27,279
Speaker 1: when you see guys come back to the season like

952
00:45:27,320 --> 00:45:30,040
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield kind of gets you know, punked early on.

953
00:45:30,560 --> 00:45:34,400
Speaker 1: I think when new quarterbacks are in, defensive coordinators like

954
00:45:34,440 --> 00:45:36,920
Speaker 1: if you're playing Danny Dimes in three or four weeks,

955
00:45:37,200 --> 00:45:39,960
Speaker 1: you're not even paying attention to Danny Dimes till his

956
00:45:40,080 --> 00:45:42,960
Speaker 1: game week. Now you have an advanced scout looking at it,

957
00:45:43,480 --> 00:45:46,759
Speaker 1: but it's a little harder in the season, you know,

958
00:45:46,920 --> 00:45:49,279
Speaker 1: so you just because you're just kind of living week

959
00:45:49,360 --> 00:45:51,799
Speaker 1: to week. Now, if it's a divisional opponent, maybe it's

960
00:45:51,800 --> 00:45:53,560
Speaker 1: a little different because you're gonna see him a couple

961
00:45:53,600 --> 00:45:56,000
Speaker 1: of times. But if it's just a week to week thing,

962
00:45:56,760 --> 00:45:59,279
Speaker 1: I mean, they'll watch as much film as they possibly can,

963
00:45:59,680 --> 00:46:01,600
Speaker 1: but you can only do so much in a week.

964
00:46:01,680 --> 00:46:04,279
Speaker 1: I think where you know your opponents ahead of time,

965
00:46:04,680 --> 00:46:06,640
Speaker 1: you could study your division in the off season, like

966
00:46:06,680 --> 00:46:08,920
Speaker 1: the Ravens. You don't think the Ravens did studies on

967
00:46:08,960 --> 00:46:13,120
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield last year? One hundred million percent they did.

968
00:46:13,520 --> 00:46:15,919
Speaker 1: So I think the off season plays a big role,

969
00:46:16,280 --> 00:46:18,279
Speaker 1: and that's why I think you see a discrepancy kind

970
00:46:18,280 --> 00:46:21,399
Speaker 1: of season to season on Guys, what do you think

971
00:46:21,440 --> 00:46:24,040
Speaker 1: about how Brissette has performed so far and where do

972
00:46:24,080 --> 00:46:25,759
Speaker 1: you see the Colts ending up this year? Can he

973
00:46:25,800 --> 00:46:28,200
Speaker 1: be a franchise quarterback in your eyes? I wouldn't go

974
00:46:28,239 --> 00:46:31,040
Speaker 1: franchise quarterback yet, but he clearly could be your starter

975
00:46:31,160 --> 00:46:33,400
Speaker 1: for a while. I think the Colts right now are

976
00:46:33,400 --> 00:46:35,920
Speaker 1: headed towards the playoffs. You know, nine ten wins, competing

977
00:46:35,960 --> 00:46:38,200
Speaker 1: to win that division with Houston, and we'll see if

978
00:46:38,239 --> 00:46:40,759
Speaker 1: Jacksonville can kind of get back on track. The Tennessee's

979
00:46:40,840 --> 00:46:42,360
Speaker 1: might be the worst team in that division now just

980
00:46:42,360 --> 00:46:45,600
Speaker 1: because their quarterback plays in shambles. But I talked about

981
00:46:45,600 --> 00:46:48,480
Speaker 1: the Colts earlier this week. I love everything they stand for,

982
00:46:48,600 --> 00:46:51,520
Speaker 1: Love the toughness of the operation, Love how many you know,

983
00:46:51,560 --> 00:46:54,040
Speaker 1: just like legitimate starters they have at every position, how

984
00:46:54,040 --> 00:46:57,200
Speaker 1: good their offensive line is, how dynamic the running backs are,

985
00:46:57,840 --> 00:47:00,160
Speaker 1: just how well rounded of a team they are. They

986
00:47:00,440 --> 00:47:03,279
Speaker 1: just they're tough, they're physical, which could never really be

987
00:47:03,320 --> 00:47:06,839
Speaker 1: said for Colts over the years. Right So I love

988
00:47:06,880 --> 00:47:10,279
Speaker 1: everything they stand for. Why is no one talking about

989
00:47:10,320 --> 00:47:12,320
Speaker 1: the Lions being a legitimate team. They've beaten both the

990
00:47:12,400 --> 00:47:14,680
Speaker 1: Charges in the Eagles playoff caliber teams and our couple.

991
00:47:15,200 --> 00:47:17,480
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray throws away from being undefeated in the North

992
00:47:17,520 --> 00:47:20,960
Speaker 1: sneaky playoff team or lucky. Like I said when I

993
00:47:21,000 --> 00:47:22,480
Speaker 1: was going through the games, I think we're gonna find

994
00:47:22,480 --> 00:47:24,480
Speaker 1: out this week. I mean, if they just hang with

995
00:47:24,520 --> 00:47:26,880
Speaker 1: the Chiefs, I think we take the Lions seriously. If

996
00:47:26,920 --> 00:47:29,920
Speaker 1: they get rolled, maybe we go a little smoke in mirrors.

997
00:47:29,920 --> 00:47:31,840
Speaker 1: We'll see if they come back to Earth. I wouldn't

998
00:47:31,840 --> 00:47:33,960
Speaker 1: completely write them off just because Stafford is a good

999
00:47:33,960 --> 00:47:36,000
Speaker 1: player at Their offense has been good the last couple

1000
00:47:36,040 --> 00:47:39,759
Speaker 1: of years. If they can play some defense, you know,

1001
00:47:40,760 --> 00:47:42,680
Speaker 1: maybe they'll be able to hang accidentally hit sent do

1002
00:47:42,719 --> 00:47:44,960
Speaker 1: the Seahawk Shotenheimer continue running the ball to prove a

1003
00:47:45,000 --> 00:47:47,359
Speaker 1: point that their philosophy works. At what point do they

1004
00:47:47,400 --> 00:47:50,320
Speaker 1: just let Wilson loose and do what everyone is saying

1005
00:47:50,320 --> 00:47:52,960
Speaker 1: he is capable of doing. What I don't understand about

1006
00:47:53,040 --> 00:47:56,480
Speaker 1: Seattle is why they don't take multiple deep shots the game.

1007
00:47:56,680 --> 00:48:00,480
Speaker 1: DK Metcalf is a legitimate deep threat. Tyler Locket has

1008
00:48:00,520 --> 00:48:02,960
Speaker 1: been a good deep threat in a productive deep threat

1009
00:48:03,320 --> 00:48:05,600
Speaker 1: for years. I mean, every time I look up and

1010
00:48:05,640 --> 00:48:08,719
Speaker 1: I'm watching the Seahawks game, little Tyler Locketts flying down

1011
00:48:08,719 --> 00:48:11,319
Speaker 1: the field making a play, and Russell clearly is one

1012
00:48:11,320 --> 00:48:13,080
Speaker 1: of the best deep ball throwers not in the league

1013
00:48:13,080 --> 00:48:16,600
Speaker 1: like we've ever seen. Just just close your eyes, think

1014
00:48:16,640 --> 00:48:19,800
Speaker 1: most beautiful deep ball to me, I immediately think Russell Wilson.

1015
00:48:20,160 --> 00:48:23,520
Speaker 1: Maybe it's a little you know, living in the moment

1016
00:48:23,640 --> 00:48:26,600
Speaker 1: or whatever, but just think of tell me a better

1017
00:48:26,719 --> 00:48:28,640
Speaker 1: deep ball thrower than Russell Wilson. I think you'd be

1018
00:48:28,680 --> 00:48:31,799
Speaker 1: hard pressed to find one. He's awesome. I I think

1019
00:48:31,800 --> 00:48:34,400
Speaker 1: it's kind of Pete. I think it's just Pete Pete.

1020
00:48:34,719 --> 00:48:38,600
Speaker 1: Pete like gets a gets a football erection from from

1021
00:48:38,840 --> 00:48:41,600
Speaker 1: running the ball, which I get it. It adds toughness,

1022
00:48:42,280 --> 00:48:44,560
Speaker 1: old school, and I love running the ball as much

1023
00:48:44,560 --> 00:48:46,160
Speaker 1: as the next guy. I got a little hardball to me,

1024
00:48:46,400 --> 00:48:49,200
Speaker 1: like I I love running power. I I even appreciate

1025
00:48:49,280 --> 00:48:51,560
Speaker 1: some of this zone stuff. It's not really my style,

1026
00:48:51,600 --> 00:48:54,800
Speaker 1: but Kyle Shanahankin runs zone down your throat. It works,

1027
00:48:55,440 --> 00:48:59,799
Speaker 1: But man, throw the football down the field. Peat well.

1028
00:48:59,840 --> 00:49:01,799
Speaker 1: I to hear your take on the Steelers offense and

1029
00:49:01,800 --> 00:49:04,279
Speaker 1: the O C Randy Fitchner. He seems to be over

1030
00:49:04,280 --> 00:49:06,880
Speaker 1: his head. Other young quarterbacks get a few lay up

1031
00:49:06,920 --> 00:49:09,239
Speaker 1: throws each game, and it didn't see Mason Rudolph got

1032
00:49:09,239 --> 00:49:11,759
Speaker 1: any scheme help from him against a good Niner's pass rush.

1033
00:49:12,000 --> 00:49:17,480
Speaker 1: Who takes your responsibility for this stale playbook Ben because

1034
00:49:17,480 --> 00:49:21,880
Speaker 1: he likes it or Tom Hm because he allows it. Uh,

1035
00:49:22,040 --> 00:49:25,319
Speaker 1: you know, I can't judge this guy. For one game

1036
00:49:25,320 --> 00:49:27,480
Speaker 1: with Mason Rudolph, I get your mad, and I don't

1037
00:49:27,480 --> 00:49:30,759
Speaker 1: blame you. The game plan looked terrible. Mason looked over

1038
00:49:30,840 --> 00:49:33,120
Speaker 1: his head. To me, it was Mason more over his

1039
00:49:33,160 --> 00:49:35,720
Speaker 1: head than the offensive coordinator was over his head, because

1040
00:49:35,760 --> 00:49:38,920
Speaker 1: we did see this offensive coordinator last year. James Conner.

1041
00:49:39,440 --> 00:49:41,880
Speaker 1: The guy's falling off the deep end now. But Antonio Brown,

1042
00:49:41,920 --> 00:49:44,719
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure at fifteen touchdowns and Juju was really good,

1043
00:49:44,960 --> 00:49:48,759
Speaker 1: Vas McDonald's was good. So I'm gonna put last week

1044
00:49:48,800 --> 00:49:51,839
Speaker 1: a little on Mason Rudolph. First start on the road

1045
00:49:51,880 --> 00:49:54,400
Speaker 1: against what looks to be a really good defense and

1046
00:49:54,520 --> 00:49:58,200
Speaker 1: basically beside one throw to Juju kind of shipped the bed,

1047
00:49:58,800 --> 00:50:01,040
Speaker 1: you know, And I'm not even talking about the box score.

1048
00:50:01,080 --> 00:50:03,400
Speaker 1: I'm just talking about how he looked. He looked, he

1049
00:50:03,480 --> 00:50:06,759
Speaker 1: looked freaked out. He wasn't in control. He didn't really

1050
00:50:06,800 --> 00:50:09,279
Speaker 1: give them a chance to win because the Niners had

1051
00:50:09,320 --> 00:50:12,520
Speaker 1: four turnovers in the first half. If Mason is just

1052
00:50:13,160 --> 00:50:15,680
Speaker 1: completing a couple of balls and moving the football, it

1053
00:50:15,800 --> 00:50:17,600
Speaker 1: might be twelve three a half and said it was

1054
00:50:17,640 --> 00:50:20,520
Speaker 1: six three, six three and they got four turnovers. Think

1055
00:50:20,560 --> 00:50:23,040
Speaker 1: about that. Is there a worst quarterback in the league

1056
00:50:23,120 --> 00:50:25,279
Speaker 1: right now than Kirk Cousins when it comes to what

1057
00:50:25,320 --> 00:50:28,719
Speaker 1: he's being paid in the production or lack thereof, you

1058
00:50:28,760 --> 00:50:31,160
Speaker 1: had be him or Derek Carr. I mean, you know,

1059
00:50:31,200 --> 00:50:36,040
Speaker 1: at least Carr had a good first game. But when

1060
00:50:36,040 --> 00:50:38,399
Speaker 1: you factor in what Cousins is getting paid. And here's

1061
00:50:38,400 --> 00:50:41,440
Speaker 1: the other thing, Like Derek, his team so terrible. I mean,

1062
00:50:41,480 --> 00:50:43,759
Speaker 1: their best wide receiver is a former six round pick.

1063
00:50:43,840 --> 00:50:46,440
Speaker 1: He was just a good role player in Tyrolle Williams.

1064
00:50:46,480 --> 00:50:49,680
Speaker 1: I mean the second best receiver's Hunter renfro So. And

1065
00:50:49,880 --> 00:50:52,480
Speaker 1: Gruden looks like, did we sure giving John Gruden knows

1066
00:50:52,520 --> 00:50:55,399
Speaker 1: what he's doing. You look at the Vikings, you go, well, Kirk,

1067
00:50:55,440 --> 00:50:57,720
Speaker 1: it's not like Kirk has anyone on offense. Oh, wait,

1068
00:50:58,200 --> 00:51:01,360
Speaker 1: they have a top three running back, they have multiple

1069
00:51:01,400 --> 00:51:06,400
Speaker 1: tight ends they have I'm just trying to think, is

1070
00:51:06,440 --> 00:51:09,120
Speaker 1: there a better I mean, I'm probably gonna miss one. So,

1071
00:51:09,200 --> 00:51:10,959
Speaker 1: but they definitely have a top two or three wide

1072
00:51:11,000 --> 00:51:13,520
Speaker 1: receiver combo in the league. So you've got a sweet

1073
00:51:13,520 --> 00:51:16,040
Speaker 1: wide receiver combo that any team in the league would take.

1074
00:51:16,280 --> 00:51:18,800
Speaker 1: You have a badass running back, and you've got multiple

1075
00:51:18,880 --> 00:51:23,160
Speaker 1: red zone legit target tight ends. Yeah. I think Cousins

1076
00:51:23,239 --> 00:51:26,600
Speaker 1: is just in their backup running backs not bad. So

1077
00:51:26,880 --> 00:51:29,319
Speaker 1: when you factor in money and when you factor in

1078
00:51:29,440 --> 00:51:33,640
Speaker 1: talent on offense, Cousins, yeah, probably right up there. That's

1079
00:51:33,680 --> 00:51:37,440
Speaker 1: that's what happens. Though, Like this notion of let's all

1080
00:51:37,480 --> 00:51:40,080
Speaker 1: these guys hit free agency get paid, you see so

1081
00:51:40,120 --> 00:51:43,400
Speaker 1: many players consistently get overpaid in free agency and it

1082
00:51:43,440 --> 00:51:45,959
Speaker 1: doesn't happen that often in quarterbacks because no one even

1083
00:51:46,080 --> 00:51:49,360
Speaker 1: credible really ever hits free agency in their prime. Shows

1084
00:51:49,360 --> 00:51:52,320
Speaker 1: you what, There's a reason Kirk Cousins for as dysfunctional

1085
00:51:52,960 --> 00:51:57,640
Speaker 1: and stupid as the Washington Redskins franchises, and there is

1086
00:51:57,680 --> 00:52:00,359
Speaker 1: not beside the rate. It's them in the Ranger and

1087
00:52:00,440 --> 00:52:02,600
Speaker 1: maybe the Browns. We'll see after this weekend, the Browns

1088
00:52:02,680 --> 00:52:05,920
Speaker 1: might still be in that category. There's a reason they

1089
00:52:06,000 --> 00:52:07,799
Speaker 1: let him go, Like you gotta you gotta give them

1090
00:52:07,800 --> 00:52:13,239
Speaker 1: some credit on that one. Hey, John Big Fantas Show,

1091
00:52:13,239 --> 00:52:14,799
Speaker 1: have been listening for a while, DM, and you for

1092
00:52:14,840 --> 00:52:18,600
Speaker 1: some advice. I'm currently a sophomore at u MASS Armstead Amherst,

1093
00:52:18,880 --> 00:52:21,319
Speaker 1: almost at Armstead UMSS Amhurst, and I'm looking to make

1094
00:52:21,360 --> 00:52:24,120
Speaker 1: a decision on major soon. I love football in sports

1095
00:52:24,160 --> 00:52:26,880
Speaker 1: in general and think it's a potential path, but I

1096
00:52:26,960 --> 00:52:29,120
Speaker 1: know there are many risks. Just wondering if you have

1097
00:52:29,120 --> 00:52:32,080
Speaker 1: any advice, Yeah, I mean I I'd say the I

1098
00:52:32,160 --> 00:52:34,240
Speaker 1: was a business major. I think anytime you're a business

1099
00:52:34,239 --> 00:52:36,480
Speaker 1: major you don't quite know what you're gonna do. It

1100
00:52:36,560 --> 00:52:38,960
Speaker 1: leaves you options I personally have. I mean, I have

1101
00:52:39,000 --> 00:52:42,000
Speaker 1: a couple of degrees, and trust me, they mean nothing

1102
00:52:42,040 --> 00:52:45,319
Speaker 1: in my career now. My my undergrad degree enabled me

1103
00:52:45,400 --> 00:52:47,680
Speaker 1: to get a graduate assistant job and work in football.

1104
00:52:48,320 --> 00:52:51,399
Speaker 1: But the the graduate degree I got a Fresso State

1105
00:52:51,600 --> 00:52:54,840
Speaker 1: is just pointless. But it just gives you options. And

1106
00:52:54,880 --> 00:52:57,279
Speaker 1: I was a business I was a business major. I

1107
00:52:57,320 --> 00:53:00,040
Speaker 1: like that stuff. We didn't have a journalism school. I

1108
00:53:00,320 --> 00:53:02,719
Speaker 1: would have done that if they were at journalism school,

1109
00:53:02,719 --> 00:53:05,640
Speaker 1: though I would never have admitted I'm a journalist because

1110
00:53:05,640 --> 00:53:08,239
Speaker 1: I'm not. I'm just an opinion guy. But I did

1111
00:53:08,280 --> 00:53:10,279
Speaker 1: business and it leaves you options. You know, if you

1112
00:53:10,320 --> 00:53:13,439
Speaker 1: want to, you can do anything from there. So that

1113
00:53:13,440 --> 00:53:16,040
Speaker 1: that's probably what i'd recommend to anyone. And I'd say

1114
00:53:16,080 --> 00:53:18,720
Speaker 1: anyone that's not sure what they want to do unless

1115
00:53:18,719 --> 00:53:21,000
Speaker 1: you have a specific major, you're interested. If you're not,

1116
00:53:21,880 --> 00:53:23,759
Speaker 1: and you know you're a guy and you want to

1117
00:53:23,800 --> 00:53:25,839
Speaker 1: leave your options open, business is never a bad way

1118
00:53:25,840 --> 00:53:29,200
Speaker 1: to go. What are your thoughts on the Broncos and

1119
00:53:29,200 --> 00:53:31,640
Speaker 1: why they eventually underperformed? Is that way the problem? Fans?

1120
00:53:31,680 --> 00:53:33,920
Speaker 1: You a bad higher, lack of talent, poor play calling.

1121
00:53:35,239 --> 00:53:37,279
Speaker 1: I can't seem to figure it out without knowing what's

1122
00:53:37,320 --> 00:53:39,920
Speaker 1: going on inside the organization. Well, I don't know if

1123
00:53:39,960 --> 00:53:42,560
Speaker 1: elwighs the problem because Elway did help build a really

1124
00:53:42,560 --> 00:53:45,360
Speaker 1: good team. And it's beside Peyton Manning. He remember he

1125
00:53:45,360 --> 00:53:48,320
Speaker 1: signed Emmanuel Sanders, he drafted was to Marry Tom's already

1126
00:53:48,320 --> 00:53:51,040
Speaker 1: there and he draft him. He drafted Von Millery, drafted

1127
00:53:51,040 --> 00:53:55,439
Speaker 1: Malik Jackson, drafted Derek Wolfe, he drafted Danny Trevathan. They

1128
00:53:55,560 --> 00:53:59,960
Speaker 1: signed undrafted free agency j Anderson, They drafted Julius tom

1129
00:54:00,080 --> 00:54:02,720
Speaker 1: This like he built a pretty legit team. His problem

1130
00:54:02,800 --> 00:54:05,080
Speaker 1: is he hasn't really found a coach once Kubiak kind

1131
00:54:05,080 --> 00:54:09,480
Speaker 1: of got sick. Vans Joseph was a disaster. Fangio who

1132
00:54:09,800 --> 00:54:12,880
Speaker 1: who is a good coach. He's just clearly not comfortable

1133
00:54:12,920 --> 00:54:16,040
Speaker 1: on the sidelines. He hired the quarterback coach from the

1134
00:54:16,040 --> 00:54:18,399
Speaker 1: San francsco forty Niners, who I'm pretty sure I'd never

1135
00:54:18,400 --> 00:54:21,680
Speaker 1: called plays before at anything beside the high school level,

1136
00:54:21,719 --> 00:54:24,080
Speaker 1: if even the high school level. You know, He signs

1137
00:54:24,160 --> 00:54:27,200
Speaker 1: Joe Flacco, he drafts to Lock. They're just in a

1138
00:54:27,239 --> 00:54:29,799
Speaker 1: bad spot right now. They just they just don't really

1139
00:54:29,800 --> 00:54:32,520
Speaker 1: have that much direction. That's what I think is a

1140
00:54:32,560 --> 00:54:34,440
Speaker 1: big problem for them. They don't have that much direction.

1141
00:54:34,520 --> 00:54:37,480
Speaker 1: Elway is still like holding onto these old school philosophies

1142
00:54:37,480 --> 00:54:40,399
Speaker 1: of like I needed a tough, old school coach. No, John,

1143
00:54:40,440 --> 00:54:43,040
Speaker 1: you just need a good coach. You didn't. Fan Joe

1144
00:54:43,160 --> 00:54:45,360
Speaker 1: is a g is one of the best, if not

1145
00:54:45,400 --> 00:54:47,880
Speaker 1: in the best defensive coordinator league. He's not a head coach.

1146
00:54:48,400 --> 00:54:50,239
Speaker 1: And John was so desperate to have some like old

1147
00:54:50,320 --> 00:54:54,279
Speaker 1: school as kicker, Like John just just hire a good

1148
00:54:54,280 --> 00:54:57,960
Speaker 1: offensive mind. Think about this. Did anyone have more of

1149
00:54:57,960 --> 00:55:01,960
Speaker 1: an inside track and inside knowledge of Kyle Shanahan. Why

1150
00:55:01,960 --> 00:55:04,319
Speaker 1: didn't he hire Kyle Shanahan three years ago? Why would

1151
00:55:04,320 --> 00:55:06,880
Speaker 1: he not do that? That? That to me was the

1152
00:55:07,000 --> 00:55:09,480
Speaker 1: undoing of the Broncos in these last three or four years.

1153
00:55:09,560 --> 00:55:12,560
Speaker 1: They could add Kyle Shanahan. Kyle Shanahan, John Elway sounds

1154
00:55:12,600 --> 00:55:16,720
Speaker 1: a lot better than John Elway and Fangio and advanced. Joseph.

1155
00:55:16,880 --> 00:55:21,640
Speaker 1: Appreciate everyone listening. Enjoy the weekend. UH, enjoy football, you know,

1156
00:55:21,680 --> 00:55:24,320
Speaker 1: because it's football season. That's what we do during football season.

1157
00:55:24,360 --> 00:55:26,799
Speaker 1: We watched football and then we talked about it. UH,

1158
00:55:27,120 --> 00:55:29,400
Speaker 1: talk to everyone soon, See you next weekend. POS
